Review,Rating "This movie had absolutely nothing good in it. Absurd plot without any kind of explination to why and how the illness worked. Didn't believe there could be a movie more stupid than The Happening, but i thought wrong.",1 Wasted two and a half hours. Rarely do I recommend it,4 "Fine story and they definitely tried... but there were a few problems with this movie which really bothered me. I didn't feel the adult Shazam and the teen Shazam were the same person. Levi played himself playing what he thought a teen would be like.. the actual teen was much more grounded. If they had dropped a line like in the ""Mask"" indicating that the powers had an exaggerated personality effect I could have dealt with it but no to me it was just glaring that they acted so differently. I didn't understand the motivation of the bad guy at all. He seemed to just be a bad guy for bad guy ""reasons"". Which wasn't compelling. He also didn't seem to have much of a plan. Everything involving the younger Billy being a foster kid and learning valuable lessons from it was good but everything involving Shazam was just horrible.",6 "It's painfully clear that Sam Raimi only watched parts of WandaVision (the parts he was told would be relevant), and straight up ignores all of Wanda's character development from that movie. Now she's making all the same mistakes again, but even more extreme, thanks to being corrupted by an evil book... I know Sam Raimi isn't good at believable female characters, but this is just sad. Kudos to Elizabeth Olsen for an amazing performance nontheless.",3 "Just another junk show from Marvel. Everything about it feels low effort from the lazy sets, the non-existent plot, the cgi heavy action, and most of the acting. Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke are good, but everyone else is terrible. I felt nothing but occasional second hand embarrassment while watching. Despite what children and Marvel stans say, this show isn't worth watching.",3 "I MUST have watched the wrong movie. The reviews for this film could in no way apply to the contrived claptrap I've just seen. Perhaps the positive reviews here were intended for that 1974 masterpiece House of Whipcord. The movie called Whiplash that I saw stars J.K. Simmons as Terence, a music teacher who can slap a face with such force as to make General Patton wince. The film also stars Miles Teller as Andrew, a student of Terence's who yearns to learn from him how to properly play the drums. Andrew accomplishes this by volunteering to let his teacher play the bongos on his face. I won't say that Damien Chazelle's direction is heavy-handed, but I would probably prefer to stick my head in Andrew's bass drum during the climactic scene than to endure watching said scene again. A word of advice to anyone considering seeing this film; go to YouTube instead and do a search for Buddy Rich. You will see the greatest drummer ever, and spare yourself the agony of viewing this over-the-top, trite, clichéd, eye-roll inducing effort. Your eyes and your ears will thank you for it.",3 "I watched this with an open mind, taking into account that this is not long after the 'blip' ... first couple of episodes are very confusing but again watch open minded, after that everything becomes clear and the series as a whole is really good. It's a must watch for fans, as this will slip in nicely with Marvels phase 4.",8 "This series is the epitome of casting brilliance. Cucumberpatch as Sherlock is absolutely amazing. The acting is amazing, the shows enchanting, and the characters tantalizing. Honestly can you ask for more?! (It only loses one star because the ending was so abrupt)",9 "The Iron Man sequel did not meet in my opinion the expectations, and that probably because we already liked so much the first movie. To be fair it was a great action-movie, not slow-paced, with good visuals and that captured the essence of Iron Man but other than that it just missed something. The storyline is pretty much simple and predictable but since it's an Iron Man movie we couldn't expect of some mind-twisting story but it could have been better. I mean if the story was more complex it would have been more explosive and the character inter-relationship could have been built a little better but since it was not than it's just ... the regular comic book Iron Man movie. Besides that the visuals were NOT that great as people might think. The editing of the scenes was done well but the way some of the scenes were captured especially the ones where is involved flying like in the beginning where you have to really stare at the screen to realize what Iron Man is doing because the scenes are too quickly cut. The visuals are good but not that good I mean for a 2010 movie I was expecting something better, not Avatar type but neither to be a little bit over that G.I. Joe bullsh*t. Besides that the cinematography is good and offers some nice stand-up captures and scenes. The acting of the movie was If I think better than the first one. I mean Robert Downey Jr. played very well the extravagant and cocky Tony Stark, Mickey Rourke offered a very good display as the Russian, Ivan, you have Samuel L Jackson as Nick Furry and a very good performance by Sam Rockwell who plays Justin Hammer. The thing I was 10 minutes cheering for and 10 minutes disappointed about was the music used in this movie. The one composed I liked it but some of it was just used wrong... At the end of the day this is a kick-ass movie, it;s a great action flick, with jokes, explosions, nice ladies, very good acting and with all the douchey scenes (and YES! it has douchy scenes) it was very entertaining. As to say if it was better than the first I don't know... It depends on how you see it and what you expect from an Iron Man movie, I liked the first one much more because the dialogue was more interesting and here it was full of jokes and stuff not to mention the character development which was better in the first than in this one but this one is like I said, a great movie to get me and you entertained and definitely worth the money.",6 "Worst MCU show. Loki deserved so much better. Acting as a Loki was perfect, but a plot of a show and other characters were so boring that 6-episodes were so hard to watch.",2 "I never Seen this Type of Movie in my whole Life. While watching my eyes was filled with tears. Movie proves that dogs are in actual human's best friend if they treat well..Story of the movie is heart touching..Charlie, The dog is the attraction of the movie. When She detect with cancer that was the turning point of the movie and then doctor said either do painful chemo sessions of rest of life she lives happily whatever she wants to do..Movie have a beautiful message to the society towards dogs or any other animal.. Overall it's imagination the story of the movie is...I give 10 out 10........",10 "Please don't read all that rubbish from the keyboard ninjas trying to impress everyone with how much they think they look and sound knowledgeable with their hatred and massive negativity, this is a tv show damn it ha ha and better than most of the crap out there. Sure it has plot holes and silly dialog etc, lighten up haters !! It's entertaining, stop reading all these wannabe critic reviews and get into it. Bring on season 2 !",7 "Absolutely AMAZING!!!! I do not know how it is possible but the Barbie movie exceeded my expectations and then some!!! It was sooooo dang hilarious!!! I love the silliness, aesthetics and nostalgia of it all plus the laughs just kept on coming. Of course they had to build a story so there were a few long monologues but there were soooo many laugh out loud moments throughout the whole movie. Also, Lets talk about Ryan Gosling...Who knew he was so funny.. He killed it as Ken! I was not expecting him to be so good. I will definitely be going back to the movies to watch it again... Oh yeah, BTW Its DEFINITELY PG-13 so I wouldn't bring the kids..",10 "This film will leave a strong sense of bittersweet left in your mouth when you're done with it. The trailer portrays what you will be getting into; a funny, cute take on some familiar and loving faces in the WW2 era. However we quickly learn early on and throughout the film that the darkness of WW2 is prevelant in this story and will leave you with a heavy heart. This is another absolutely colourful film.",7 "Effective scenes. That's all this movie is all about. Ron Howard directing scenes as well as he can with great actors. There are even some surprises in the film in the start, but the ending is so typical ""we will overcome"" story, that it ruins the pretty and effective scenes of the beginning. Russel Crowe is John Nash, a mathematician with schizophrenia. The films start is all about what is real and what is not. Is Nash really a part of secret government code breaking group or does he just imagine all it and so on and so forth. That really is the best part of the film. After the reality and fiction become separated we are shown so mush syrup, that only Ron Howard is capable of doing that. This film wouldn't work without Crowes performance as disillusioned Nash, but he has great supporting cast. Jennifer Connelly does great job as Nashes' wife, who tries to understand be supportive. Ed Harris has a nice role as secret government agent. As said, effective scenes in the beginning determined the score I gave to this film, but the there just is too much syrup in the ending for me to give bigger score.",7 "In 2007 Shahid and Kareena were very much in love, and anyone can feel that sparkling chemistry between them in this movie. In case of Imtiaz Ali, he always love to experiment with this kind of real life romantic bonds. Along with that he will always show his deep affectation of mountains and road trips in his movies like he did with this one. It will remain a classic romantic movie in the decades to come for its unique comedy and musics also.",8 """12 Years a Slave"" may not be everyone's cup of tea to watch as, true it's a true account of the slave days of one kidnapped man Solomon Northup, it's manner in which the brutal beatings and whippings of blacks is cruel, violent, and very sadistic. The film is so raw and brutal with it's scenes that it may turn many off still director Steve McQueen went to great measures to show how brutal and savage that blacks were treated by rich spoiled white land owners in the deep south. Based on the true accounts of one Solomon Northup(in a raw and emotionally honest performance from new guy Chiwetel Ejiofor)who in 1841 is in the northeast in upstate New York working as an actor and stage play person when one night he is lured to a trip to Washington, D.C. and is kidnapped by two southern men and taken to the deep south and sold into slave labor. Here on the plantation the cotton fields life is tough with beatings and whippings and chains are a daily occurrence for all blacks especially with all the sadistic ways of the owner(in a wicked performance from Michael Fassbender)who even has sex with many female black slaves. Most supporting is the meeting that Solomon has with a Canadian abolitionist(in a fine performance from Brad Pitt)this propels Solomon to be set free emotionally and mentally to actual freedom. Overall ""12 Years a Slave"" is a brutal and somewhat sadistic film still it's one man's true story of courage and will to live as he faced the wicked and evil establishment for many lost and wrong years that he had to spend his life away from freedom and reality.",8 Season 1 was decent season 2 sucks stopped watching after episode 3,4 "What are people talking About? This Movie was Boring and felt like it was on A Very Low Scale. All of the Bad Points: ° Billy Batson and Shazam didn't even feel like they are the same Person. ° It was Sooooo Boring. ° The Jokes are Super Corny and Not Funny, Terrible Writing. ° The Movie felt Like it Should of Came out 15 Years Ago. ° The End Battle Was Weak. The Action was Ok but the Movie just Felt Tedious. I just didn't Care for this Movie At all.",2 This movie was a massive bust. Trying to make this movie a comedy with poor misplaced jokes. Really hope they don't make anymore Thor films after this,2 "I decided to rewatch the first two amazing season of this incredible show before watching the third season to get me a refresher. Season 1 was great. Season 2 with the punisher was excellent. and imagine my excitement when i'm about to watch the third season. god it stinks!!! i dont know what happened to the directing but it got so lame and boring!!it's so weak for the first 6 episodes i almost dozed off.i got so dissapointed at the final fight scene it made me write this review.bad bad bad directing,editing!!lost all interest in the show. maybe cancelling it was a good call if it will be directed in the same manner.S1S2 is a gem but S3💩",5 "I don't know why some people are giving this movie such high scores. If I had actually talked to my companion during the movie, we would have walked out because both of us wanted to. The storyline was simple and boring, the acting was mediocre at best, and the camera work was so jumbled up that it was hard to make sense of what we were seeing. It was like watching a film from someone who flunked out of film school. Personally, I am going to be wary of watching any movie by this writer or director in the future as I have a bitter taste in my mouth after this one. It was an assault on my intelligence to watch ad movie such as this. Save your money and do not buy or rent this movie when it comes out.",1 "I loved series 1 it was funny, imaginative & actually had a running storyline that went somewhere. Series 2 just rambles on with no apparent direction & follows no storyline other than Gabrielle has lost his memory & no one knows why. Something that happened in the first half of the first episode. Throughout both series David Tennant is fantastic as Crowley & Michael Sheen is an excellent foil. I just don't know why they couldn't of actually come up with a storyline for the second series. I guess that once you've done the whole 'end of the world' storyline you really don't have anywhere to go. I just hope if they do a third series that they put somemore thought into the plot. Series 1 - 9/10 Series 2 - 5/10 Average - 7/10.",7 "The title of this movie almost sums up how the film is presented. All that's missing is the second half of the saying: ""now you don't"". It goes to say that at some points this movie is fun and entertaining, hence the ""now you see me"", and at other times it can become almost the opposite, ""now you don't"". The movie presents an interesting concept from the start: a group of illusionists who perform bank heists during their shows and reward the audience with the money. The plot is interesting yes, but the amount of plot holes overall over-lap the amount of a well structured story. There are times where the movie simply makes no sense. I found myself struggling to keep up with the excess amount of twists thrown in, along with the brutally fast pacing of the film. On the plus side, some of these twists are exciting and lead to some great moments, and some of the ""action"" scenes, if you will, are fun to watch. The magic tricks and illusions are especially interesting. However, more often than not, the plot as a whole fails to deliver, despite the occasional exciting scene. Director Louis Leterrier's direction style didn't always seem to fit this movie. The pacing was way off, and there was little to zero character development, making it seem like a group of characters were thrown together for almost no good reason. Now again, there are occasionally parts where I felt the movie was moving along fairly well and it had me interested, but too often the movie lacked proper pacing, and suffered from non-existent character development throughout. The cast ranges from the mildly to the highly experienced, with the likes of Dave Franco to Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg. It's a talented and diverse cast that is brought together, and each actor does a great job in their respective roles. Again, the one thing that hurt the cast was the lack of character development. Mark Ruffalo, Isla Fisher, and Michael Caine round out the solid cast and to reiterate, all give great performances. In Now You See Me, there was a great opportunity to create an interesting take on the heist-related genre. At some times, the movie is entertaining, showing off some fun, mind-stretching action scenes that leave you wanting more. Unfortunately, more often than not, the incomplete plot, under developed characters, overly fast pace, and misleading feel for the movie prevents it from being something bigger and better. 6.5/10",6 This movie was absolutely trash. Venom a comedian?? Carnage has the power to create tornados and hack into security systems? Cletus sends his love a secret message in the newspaper but was surprised she was alive? Brock and venom go through a bad break up like teenagers? 90s action movie clichés making witty comments before striking their opponents? Carnage becomes the blob with limitless growth of tentacles. What a disaster of a movie!!!,1 "I am really confused. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. And there are very few movies I hate. Why does everyone every one else love this movie? Horrible script, predictable plot, and very untrue with the science. It missed every piece to be even a decent movie, one of the pieces making me most annoyed was absolutely no character development. I think the point I decided I officially hated the movie was when they were tethered together and George Clooney for some reason was being pulled away even though there was no gravity and no inertia to keep him from being pulled away. The movie did a great job of following science when it worked for their plot and just being completely void of it when it made what they thought was a more exciting story line. Come on, if you are going to make scifi movie, be true to the science part of it! I will say I do love Sandra Bullock even after this unfortunate movie.",1 "I'm extremely comforted to see the comments of other users here, who have quite rightly pointed out that this dreadful exercise in tedium should be castigated rather than lauded. The movie boasts competent cinematography, and Bill Murray -- always watchable -- sleepwalks through a script (a script!?? Is anyone sure this wasn't improvised?!?) directed with bland nothingness by a girl who, had she had different parents, nobody would blink twice about. There is literally nothing to recommend this movie. How Johanssen won a British BAFTA for her performance in this is utterly, utterly baffling. To say that she has a finite range, is inferring she has a range that can actually go from ""A"" to ""B"". In both this and the equally overrated ""Girl With A Pearl Earring"", it seems her capabilities lie in exclaiming ""Oh!"", as if she'd suddenly remembered she'd left her purse somewhere. God help the film industry, when the unwashed masses seem to regard drivel like this as a masterpiece.",1 "A film that seems to have been written in the 90's, desperate to keep a lower budget, a PG13, and a wide audience so it doesn't bother being a good horror, a good antihero movie, or a good sci-fi. It sort of manages to be a passable buddy movie but only just, and probably due to a bonkers Tom Hardy who is clearly having the time of his life. There's so much in the idea to have unlimited potential, and yet it's a hole-ridden, lily-white superhero film with only marginally more actual Venom than Raimi's Spider-Man 3, and all the beats of a run of a mill early superhero film. Unfortunately since Deadpool, a Venom movie would have to have upped its game. Sometimes it's fun, most of the while, it's depressingly by the numbers.",3 "This movie makes us think, what kind of story would create the direct interaction between Barbie and human beings? So unique, and I could not guess where we were going. The graphic is cheerful with the value of feminism and patriarchy, a spirit of self-identity, and about passion. I don't think children should watch this; some jokes were sarcastic yet funny for those who understand it. Children might find this movie exciting but maybe find difficulties in some parts of it. I still can say it is worth watching, but I didn't find extraordinary things in it. As a fan of Barbie, I still like the movie. But yeah, I don't think I would like to rewatch it again. I love the actors and actresses, they were amazing.",5 "I gave it a shot, because the content from Marvel had been pretty good up until this, but man its just inconsistent plot and fan service left and right. It makes me eye roll more than laugh or catch my attention. 9 episodes in I can safely say it's not my cup of tea. Seems to be made for children.",2 "I'm a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, I've red many of his adventures written by Conan Doyle and I've watched all the movies related to Sherlock. When I had first seen this title I thought it will be another screening of Sherlock's adventures, this time on a new TV Series. But it was something different, it was an original way, a modern way of telling us the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, a way that is related to our times. I really hope the show will go on because you can't get bored watching it. Fortunately,the producers can easily find many adventures in Conan Doyle's book to exploit and make again something worth to be watched. ""Sherlock"" is certainly a must-see and a delightful show, especially if you have red the book.",9 "I just saw this film at an exhibitor's screening, and it was everything a comic-book movie should be. I had low expectations, since I thought the first film was decent, but left a lot of great opportunities on the table. But not part 2. Raimi has really stepped up to the plate with this film, and created something that will be loved by both the mainstream viewer, as well as the film geeks and comic geeks. He took time with the characters, and gave Peter, M.J., Harry, and Aunt May some quality character development. We even get more of J. Jonah Jameson, which is great for the comic relief (even if I can't stop calling him 'Schillinger'). The CGI is much better this time around, and Spidey no longer looks rubbery. It is much more believable, and doesn't take you out of the moment at any point. Also, we're given a much better bad guy. Doc Ock is a fantastic villain, and much of this credit goes to Molina. He doesn't cheese it up at any point, and since Raimi gave us some time with him and his wife before the experiment goes wrong, we see that he's a kind man who wants to make the world a better place. Honestly, the film is dripping with pathos, and yet it doesn't feel like it's trying too hard to do so. And when we get to see how vulnerable Peter Parker is (wait until you see the subway car scene), we actually feel for the poor guy. This is the first comic-book film that got me to feel for the lead character, and I'm grateful for that. I'm a big fan of the X-Men movies, but this film has a lot more heart than either of those. Thinking back, I can't remember a better comic-book film. Spider-Man 2 gave me everything I wanted, and more. Kudos to Raimi for finally hitting one out of the park. I almost can't believe it, but this one is a 10/10, and I cannot wait to see it again on 6/29.",10 "...all at the same time. This hybrid comic book-video game has a stupid plot, worse than average acting, and fight scenes that are so poorly done you don't mind going to the bathroom. Don't get me wrong. I loved John Wick 1. Thought #2 was OK. Then came #3., It showed they were out of imagination and should have stopped with #2. Now with #4 they show that they are not artists or creatives but merely clowns looking for as buck. It's not completely without value, which is why it got a 2 instead of a 1. The photography is beautiful and they have a dog as a hero. The rest is worthless. Save the money and the time.",2 "How is the Josh...!!. A truly today's Indian josh shows by this movie. Best ever Hindi movie made on Indian Army. One very special thing about this movie storyline..revolving around few super Women characters his Sister, one AIF piolet one IB agent.. that's shows how we Indians are so powerful either in home or at border. Great work by Vickey Kaushal, Yami, Mohit and great direction by Aditya.. truly rocking.",10 I wished Hulu or somebody else can bring this back. This show was so damn funny,8 "I was not attracted to this movie! I have no idea why. sat there and watched the whole thing in the hope that I find some interesting facts about it but did not. It was waste of time. I expected more from a Oscar movie. They want to show an alcoholic, drug user as a hero who cared about people. to my eye, he was not a hero. all of his actions were illegal. why should such a movie win Oscar for best actor? I liked the supporting actor much better. This movie was OK but definitely not an Oscar movie. I would not recommend this movie.",2 "worst film I saw in a very long time I would have given it a 6 if it wasn't for trying to bring down the hype. It is boring & slow no story Some people told me it is a good and complicated movie. They belong to the group of dumb people who like feel as though they're intelligent This thing is in the top 3 of best movies ever ??? then I do not need to see any movie ever again they are a waste of money and time and yes I did get the plot - it is missing and for those who still want to see this movie don't worry it is not complicated A very personal idea, if I do not look at my watch during the movie it was entertaining (does not have to be good but it caught you) but during this waste of time I have seen the seconds on my watch crawl forward.",1 I'm a fan but this ain't it the trailer looked nice so imma try the rest of it,1 Loved the way story brought up in the first season..I couldn't feel there is a great connection with the second season tho..the eagerness is not so outstanding with the 2nd season...I feel sluggish tho..I would love to see frank in punisher bullet proof outfit.,8 "I have to admit that at the beginning I was not sure whether watch it or not, it took me more than a year to encourage myself about taking the decision to have a little time off to watch the entire series, it may sound dramatic to you but that's how it is, during this time, I had read and heard great comments about this anime, a lot people saying how a masterpiece this anime is and so. I have never felt the obligation to follow people's advises or 'recommendations' but there have been times when you have to be honest to agree with people's opinion. Unfortunately this was not the case. When I finally finished to watch the anime, I felt DISAPPOINTED - yes, in capital letters- disappointed with the end and disappointed with the plot. I do not consider myself as a genius but the plot turns out to be clever and dumb at a time, with unrealistic points on the table. Although I have to admit that the first half is interesting and entertaining, the animation is great and the character designs are awesome. The story is predictable and you easily lose interest in the series after the first half. I won't say it is a waste of time because it is not, but it's not like watching Code Geass either, which keeps you up with the story. I do not try to offend people that may find this series as a masterpiece but I guess the cleverness on the plot makes it boring at one point (if you are smart enough to understand), maybe Death Note does not have the perfect balance between cleverness and silliness, turning it into a plain story. I think the '7 out of 10' is perfect for DN!",7 "Oh, the body-swap comedy. You know how it starts, you know how it ends and frankly, you know most of what's in between. To name an R-rated buddy version of this formula ""The Change-Up"" is essentially serving up a thick slice of irony, yet somehow ""The Hangover"" writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore and ""Wedding Crashers"" director David Dobkin manage to change just enough to prevent predictability from drowning their film entirely. The film starts neck deep, however. Jason Bateman's character Dave wakes up bright and early thanks to his newborn twins, one of which projectile poos all over his face. Gross-out humor might be one of the worst ways to start a modern comedy, but somehow ""The Change-Up"" manages to recover thanks to a strong cast and writing that works when it's not trying too hard to be funny. Dave and Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) are old friends with opposite lifestyles that predictably wish they could have what the other has. Dave has been an achiever all through his life and never stopped to enjoy himself in the ways of drugs and women, for example. That would be typical bachelor Mitch's life. Mitch, on the other hand, would love for even a modicum of success and stability. Plug in a magic fountain activated by two different simultaneous urine streams and voila — body-swapping comedy. Thus begins the journey of the two friends toward the inevitable learning not to take for granted the lives they have. To be fair, Lucas and Moore write in some scenes that break convention. Early on, for example, there's the scene when they try and convince Dave's wife (Leslie Mann) that they've switched bodies by telling her to ask Dave (in Mitch's body) a question only he would know. Seen that before, right? Rather than she predictably believing them, things take a comic turn when Dave reveals a very private detail about her. When ""The Change-Up"" isn't forcing in Farrelly brothers-inspired gross-out humor, it's a decent comedy. For one, the writing from a non-jokes standpoint has surprising strength. At several moments the film goes down some more dramatic side streets that feel natural because the characters have just enough depth for us to care. Mann's performance in particular helps this along — she's far from the typical mother/wife figure in a buddy comedy. By establishing a bit of a routine in that Mitch in Dave's body must try and prevent Dave's law firm's merger from falling through while also balancing a family life and Dave in Mitch's body must simply get laid in a strange matter of ways, the story doesn't spiral out of control. The focus stays mostly on Mitch in Dave's body as he's the significantly less shallow character with more going on. Bateman takes advantage, transforming himself with a terrific number of quirks, which he's done so well in his career. On a number of occasions, however, the way you'd expect a character to behave and how they actually behave don't match up, which definitely hurts the ability to get caught up in the story, but there's a logic to the sequence of events and as such, natural jokes evolve that counteract the bad ones to some extent. Somehow the writing manages to hit on points of sentimentality as well. Despite the inevitability of the outcomes, the story arcs of the characters make good use of this tired concept as they drift from hating the change to embracing it to the realization that they truly appreciate their own lives. Some thought definitely went into character motivation, otherwise we'd feel nothing. Dobkin captured the same thing in ""Wedding Crashers,"" but the difference here is obviously the novelty factor. As such, a film can never outrun predictability. It can be taken advantage of as best as the talents involved possibly can, but it always wins. ~Steven C Visit my site at http://moviemusereviews.com",5 This is the very best series I have seen in a very long time! It's one of those you wish was a box set so you could totally power watch the whole thing from start to finish!,10 Good first season but could have been better. It's a bit too messy and sometimes it seems that the writers don't know which direction to take. Henry Cavill's acting is good but I kind of get disturbed by the low tone of his voice which doesn't sound natural at all. But overall it's a great setting and fits nice between GOT and Lord of the rings. I hope season 2 tightens it all up and if so this could really be memorable.,9 "Too short, too focused on Venom and his weird relationship with himself as if we didn't already know about it. Kassidy's gf being screechy is a grade school plot device. How cool it is to see carnage and the actor who plays him is the only redeeming thing this movie has to offer. I wish it was written better. I want more carnage.",6 "It started with promise, but quickly fell apart. Which is unfortunate, because it could have been good.",2 "I know it's dangerous to watch a film after reading the book, but I was looking forward to this one. I thought Jennifer Lawrence was well-suited to the role and the rest of the cast looked solid. What I hadn't counted on was the number of random plot changes that would be made. I understand that sometimes plot elements need amending to translate from paper to screen, but a lot of what went on here seemed egregious. Good characters became bad and key plot elements, like the fate of the mole, were changed completely. Perhaps those who have just seen the film will be able to enjoy it on its own merits, but I would defy anyone to say that this new, reworked story was a patch on the original.",5 "I am a HUGE fan of both Depp and the original Pirates. Naturally I went into this movie with a bit of skepticism as I do with ANY sequel. My daughter (15) had seen it twice and raved about it. So my 13 year old son and I went today. As we walked out, he said EXACTLY what was going thru my head: ""I was kind of bored"". Me, too. Special effects do not a movie make any more. We've come to expect that. Something that NEVER changes, though, is the critical element of a strong plot, something that ""Dead Man's Chest"" lacks. As near as my son and I could figure, the whole plot line was that everyone wanted Davy Jones' heart to control the seas. Yawn. The rest was a showcase for some admittedly fantastic special effects. Another gripe I had with this movie, as I do with many nowdays, is that the trend towards such utterly authentic dialogue almost makes much of the dialogue incomprehensible. Okay, maybe it's because I'm ""old"" (51) and my hearing sucks. But the dialects used by Naomi Harris (Tia Dalma) as well as the usual cast of ragamuffin sailors, was often impossible to understand. I love the realism; I hate the fact that I missed so much of the dialogue. It's hard - almost impossible - for a sequel to live up to the expectations of an original. Only a very few (""Aliens"" for example) can come close or achieve it. In my opinion, and my son's, ""Dead Man's Chest"" fell a bit short. Am I glad I saw it? Absolutely. I was moderately entertained. Would I see it again or buy it on DVD? Absolutely not.",6 "This is by far the best show on television, hands down. I suppose Lost comes very close in terms of the quality of the writers, but anybody who has seen the show (and I mean from the beginning, not just sat down in the middle of an episode and doesn't know what's going on) will tell you the same thing. The writers for this show are just incredibly talented and the show deserves so much more recognition then it gets. And the same goes for Kiefer and the other actors. It's obvious that so much goes into this and it pays off. Proof of the show's quality comes from seeing how loyal its fans out. Few shows maintain such a loyal audience and I can't wait to see what happens to Jack in season 6. Keep it up and keep me on the edge of my seat, I can't get enough!",10 "From reading about this movie, I was expecting something... well, more. The movie seemed rather rushed, even though it was a full length film. There wasn't enough time, or effort put in to become fully engaged in the story. This was actually one of Tom Hanks worst acting skills put on display in my personal opinion. From such a topic, I expected a tear to fall at some point and well, that just did not happen. Maybe it's the age of the film when acting was quite different than it is today. I'm not sure, but I was left feeling unfulfilled. I would compare this movie to, ""Green Book"", which was a masterfully powerful movie. Honestly, it wasn't even on my watch list, but someone else was watching it and I just happened to view it. For topics such as these, there needs to be an effort unmatched with emotional involvement. Philadelphia was a disappointment and while others seem to say different, I'm a pretty good judge.",4 "I've been watching this series since the beginning. I know there's some flaws however when you stick with it, the character development will suprise you. The cast brings their best in each episodes. The story is beyond amazing, it gives you desire to wait every episode. Marvel did'nt disappoint me with this. It's a gift to us and for that a big ""Thank You"" for all directors and staff who bring this masterpiece come to life.",10 "It was average at best. Storyline was a little dry and went on for a long time before it picked up. It was really sad towards the end and I wished that it could have ended in a more positive light. Music was amazing though. I enjoyed the character development as it seemed like it was progressing really well towards the middle and end of the film. However, I feel like I would not watch it again. It's not as amazing as others say it is, in my honest opinion. Anyways I am grateful for the effort put into this movie as it was still a decent movie. The curiosity towards the stars was probably the biggest interesting thing to me.",5 The entire film is just too long and disjointed. It still has the same tarantino style ending. I really emjoyed the last 15 minutes but it just feels like i could've just watched first and last 15 minutes and enjoyed it just the same rather than waiting for 3 hours.,3 I absolutely loved everything about this sooo creative !,10 "What a noisy, stupid movie this is. And repetitive, too. An hour could have been cut from the film with no harm done. It is oddly like a drama by Christopher Marlowe, or one of the other lesser Elizabethan playwrights: there is no real plot line, no character development, but rather a constant and increasingly frenetic repetition of what has gone before. The self-indulgence of the whole is reflected in the performances. McConaughey's chest-thumping scene is painful to watch. Jonah Hill does his usual thing. Leonardo diCaprio smirks his way through the film, though admittedly that may suit the character. (But pity those early enthusiasts who referred to the 'lude scene as ""brilliant."") Bright spots are Kyle Chandler as the FBI agent; admittedly I may have liked him because I hoped he would arrest Jordan, and cut the movie short. Margot Robbie, however, was unabashedly terrific, and really the only reason for watching.",2 "One of the most horrible memories I have of college is that in our dorm they seemed to run this movie 24/7. I would go down to the TV lounge to watch something and it would be filled with my peers pajama clad and munching on popcorn and clutching their box of kleenex. It was a constant rotation of Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing and Can't Buy Me Love. I have night terrors because of it. I hated the movie. I hate Patrick Swayze. I think it goes back to his promotion of the movie as having more substance than Footloose or Flashdance....like saying that cotton candy has more substance than marshmellows. I have to give this movie a 1 to counteract the average of a 5 on this film. I would normally had given it a 3, but the majority of you folks left me no choice. I don't know that this movie inspires anger in me but that time of your life song makes me cower and whimper curled up in a fetal position. The biggest clue that this movie lacked anything interesting, it wasn't in black and white.",3 "I am so sick of Hollywood stuffing new movies with the far left agenda. Why does EVERYTHING need to have politics in it?! It completely distracts from the film's plot. People watch movies to be ENTERTAINED, not for your political agenda shoved down our throats. If people want to watch about the left agenda, literally just make a documentary on it! Why put it in a horror film?? To push their agenda onto viewers, that's why! Also, its basically just a lazy knockoff of A Quiet Place, which was the far superior film. Sandra Bullock is lifeless and after a while you wish that they couldn't speak instead of couldn't see because of how annoying her voice gets. Demonizing white men, glorifying black men, and labeling all women as strong and independent. The left agenda is SO OBVIOUS in this movie that its insulting. They clearly just made this to shove the left in people's faces, and disguised it as a horror film.",1 "Take Bollywood , Strip Away the Item Numbers , Actors with wodden expression , pointless Gravity Defying Stunts and add a story and talented Cast and you get Sacred Games. Having Stopped Watching Bollywood for about 5 years , this was a breath of fresh air . Gave 8 Star Rating , Because Still Not Of Game Of Thrones or Breaking Bad Quality.",8 "I've watched with great enthusiam all of the seasons and in my opinion these last 3 pieces (meaning Season 5) don't do justice to the show. There is that familiar strange vibe, some good acting, some easy to relate to tech-society debates and a few star names in the cast. Still, when the credits rolled out after each episode I felt a bit dissapointed. The ""fault"" could be the fact that the show set such a high standard in the previous seasons and it was very hard to live up to everyone's expectations. I really hope this show will go on and the future series will continue to put our minds to work and to try to figure some stuff out. Our society needs this I think.",9 "There were a few pieces of nice meat in there...but, most of it was messy filler. The movie is reminiscent of The Family Guy episode where Stewie uses his machine and travels to different universes. I think they even hit some of the same places. The nice thing about Stewie's adventures is that was less than 30 minutes. Perhaps it is my age, but I am done with movies that go on and on. Does anything ever end up on the editing floor anymore? Lord, I'm trying to finish this review and I keep getting the message that it is not long enough. Really?",3 "Stupid concept. If you feel you might have difficulty with the concept of the movie then don't even start to watch it. It's got to be one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. That being said, if you can get over the concept everything else is pretty good aside from how they can navigate completely blind folded.",4 "Tony dealing with death? Vanko exacting revenge for his father's death? Tony figuring out how to operate alongside the United States military? This film is just so jam packed full of stuff that nothing ever develops, everything fights with everything else for screen time, and all we really get is a jumbled experience. In the wake of Tony Stark revealing himself to the world to be Iron Man, Ivan Vanko is by his father's deathbed in Russia. Papa Vanko had once worked with Tony's father to develop the Arc Reactor (the big version of the shiny thing in Tony's chest) before being deported back to Russia. Driven by revenge, Vanko replicates the miniature arc reactor (that apparently only he and Tony can create) in his crappy Russian living space and disappears for half an hour. Meanwhile, Tony is dealing with mystery disease that's tied to his chest piece and poisoning his blood somehow. This will drive Tony and his motives for about half the movie when it will magically get cured and never mentioned again. He's running an Expo, or something, which allows him to be a rich eccentric and go to Monaco where he will drive a Formula 1 car in the Gran Prix. It is here that Vanko reveals his Iron Man inspired whips and nearly kills Tony before promptly getting captured by police. Justin Hammer, the CEO of a competitor to Stark Industries for defense contracts (does Stark still supply the military or not?), frees Vanko from prison because he is an idiot who thinks he can control a maniac who walked onto the tracks of a Formula 1 race and used electrified whips to try and kill Tony Stark. He tasks Vanko with creating Hammer version of the Iron Man suit. Vanko doesn't do this and instead creates drones. Hammer, who is an idiot, decides that this is cool after a quick freak out that means nothing. Tony, meanwhile, is suffering from his magical disease and breaking down emotionally. This is easily the best part of the movie. It's almost, at most, 30 minutes long in a 2-hour film. The reasons for his disease are ill-defined and the resolution is pure cheating, but Tony's descent into despair works. He's on top of the world on the outside, but he's hiding his decline from everyone. It's eating him up and he become increasingly self-destructive to the point that he dons his Iron Man suit at his birthday party and gets into a fight with his best friend Rhodey who stole another Iron Man suit for the conflict (why Tony keeps power supplies in the suits when they actually go in his chest I do not know). Nick Fury shows up, gives Tony a ""temporary"" cure to his disease that wipes away the disease instantly before Tony creates an impossible new element in a scene even more ridiculous than the similar scene in the first film where he made an arc reactor in a cave. Welp! He's not dying anymore! That's story's done! And the movie goes on for another 40 minutes. This is all setup for the final confrontation at Tony's Expo where Hammer reveals the drones, they promptly go on the rampage Hammer couldn't predict (because he is an idiot), and both Tony and Rhodey work to fight them. The actions scenes in general are well filmed and executed well, but much like Tony's central story, they are unmoored from the rest of the film. They're unrelated to Tony's actual story and the rest of the film around them. Downey Jr. is just as winning as Tony Stark as before, but the movie around him is even more of a mess than the first. The rest of the cast is fine, with a special nod to Sam Rockwell as Hammer who plays an idiot really well. Overall, though, the film is a disaster. Too muddled and filled with unrelated stuff, it never figures out how to tell any of its stories well. It's a mess.",3 "Mildly entertaining. A lot of complex back story to fit in to 8 episodes. Be prepared for a mid to low fantasy romp with some nice locations and references and detraction. A nice time filler. May season 2 be better. The artistic license was disappointing, unexplained and a real shame as there's enough lore without creating more.",6 "As WW2 movies go, this is pretty poor. The story ain't that exciting, it's no Fury or even a Dirty Dozen. Fancy camera work doesn't save the fact that it's pretty much a non-event.",5 "Good things about film is concept, saif ali khan acting, cinematography and songs/music. It could be more better if last 40 minutes of screenplay was engaging and Everything was so fast ongoing pace bit done better.",6 "If you like Action movie, u don't want to miss this, on top if you are Indian, u must go for this one. Besides one doesn't necessarily have to be Indian for this masterpiece to enjoy. You will be connected to movie till the very end. Finally Indian army has shown the best in movie what they are capable of as they Army helped conducting the cinematography. Vicky Kaushal, u are gifted.",9 "Instead of focusing on doing more, better, stronger, HBO chose the safe coccoon of what we all know and love, including the music theme. What could have been another epic adventure feels cheap, hurried and bleak. Almost an abomination. Imagine going to the best pizza place in NY just to get some preheated leftovers. The need for money is killing this industry.",5 "Informative, shocking and well acted. It is a good series. It fell short of the ""hype"" for me and was drawn out and slow in several places but I would recommend a watch if someone was struggling to find a new series to binge.",7 "This film is an example of having to many irons in the fire and not knowing what to do with them, which results in an over sentimental mess that is called Interstellar. Nolan finally shows clearly his hubris in that he thinks of himself as a cinematic mastermind, in fact he's just a Hollywood pet with cheap tricks. There is nothing wrong in getting the science incorrect, a competent filmmaker manages to work around the incoherence and still create a unified whole, Nolan on the other hand wants us to think that he understands the science behind Interstellar, but he also shows clearly that he doesn't put much trust in the audiences' intellect. This results in an over abundance of exposition which is there just to inform us of how stupid we are. The sentimentality, which is most of the time laughable, doesn't go along with the overall structure of the film because the plot is disorganized. The problem comes from the inability to transform a concept into a film without allowing the audience to interpret what they are seeing - instead Nolan tries to overwhelm us with his elitist vision and it comes out as a mess because he doesn't trust his audience, he's lack of vision doesn't come from him not having a concept but from the inability to mediate that concept through a film, in other words: he is a bad filmmaker.",3 "Everyone who have seen Vampire diaries, The orginals, Witches of East End and so on have to see this show.",10 "I think it is pretty much accurate and fair to say that anyone who watches a movie, does so for entertainment. Avatar was only entertaining for about a hour. The first problem is that this movie is pushing 3 hours, but why? The last movie I watched that was that long was The Lord of the Rings, but the difference between LOTR and Avatar is that LOTR has a reason to go on for 3 hours - story. Avatar has one of the most pathetic and generic story lines you have ever witnessed and that will become apparent when you are guessing exactly what will happen next. The characters are so generic and you really don't care much for them, so why must the movie trudge on for 3 hours? Every single aspect of the story/characters is so clichéd that you will grind your teeth whilst watching Avatar. The storyline does not even need 2 hours to play itself out, there are no epic plot lines or any reason for the movie to keep going on and on. Perhaps it was all just to show of the CGI effects and the visuals which everyone is going on about. Was I watching the same movie? I found the visuals average at best with some very unimpressive shots especially during close ups on the aliens faces to show pain/sadness. The movements of characters feels fake and inhibited in some way and I really question why so much CGI must be used! CGI should be used as a tool to enhance sections of movies, not as a tool to create the majority of the movie. It just isn't entertaining to me to watch computer generated landscapes and battles when they seem so unrealistic and fake that I find myself falling asleep. If I wanted to look at computer graphics, I'd play a computer game. But Avatar is just pushing it with the endless parade of silly forests, animals, explosions etc etc just to show off the so called amazing visuals. Add to that stupid one liners and names like 'Unobtanium' and 'Pandora' and this movie is a joke! I cannot understand why people enjoy it. Why is this 'Unobtanium' so valuable for the humans? Avatar is clearly just an excuse to have a massive CGI fest from start to finish, and even that isn't impressive at all!",2 "I finally saw this movie and it was basically a waste of 2 hours. To be fair, I just don't really care for the Iron Man idea, Spiderman and Batman are much better ideas. But there's just a lot of explosions and computer special effects. Plus Tony Stark is too weird and boring, the part with him getting drunk at the party and the colonel using one of the Iron Man suits was just boring and too long. The only part I liked was the first fight between Ivan and Tony. The electrically charged cables were a cool weapon. And Gwenyth Paltro is just a waste. She's so boring in these movies. FINAL VERDICT: I don't really like Iron Man any way, so I don't recommend it, but I'm sure a lot of people liked this.",4 "Stephen Chow's name has been around the Chinese cinema for a little more than twenty years. His special style of dry humor is not only known but also recognized by Chinese viewers as his trademark and uniqueness. It's only until recently with the release of Shaolin soccer did people around the world started to take notice of this Asian pop icon. But when we thought it couldn't get any better, he surprised us with his latest masterpiece, Kung Fu Hustle. Being a die-hard chow fan myself, i must say this is by far the best work he's done. Combining Kung Fu with comedy is something that has been done since the 70's in Hong Kong cinema but very few is as entertaining and spectacular as Kung Fu Hustle. The story is simple. Starting with Chow, a street nobody trying to be a member of the infamous Axe Gang, which pretty much owns everything in Shanghai except a few local small towns that quietly lays outside the city. But it is in one of these small districts that hides the best Kung Fu fighters. In this case, it's District of Pig Cage. With the goal of extending their territories, the Axe gang found themselves in deep trouble as they stumble upon this small town of martial art masters... Viewers will find themselves drawn into the fantasy world of Kung Fu with funny, fascinating characters that blow people's mind away. References to Forrest Gump, The Matrix, Silence of the Lambs, traditional Chinese Woosha novels can be found in many scenes. I also find myself laughing so hard in several parts. Most of the jokes are easy to understand for they are usually short phrases or body movements. This allows general audiences around the world to get pass the cultural or language barrier and enjoy the atmosphere it's creating. The action scenes are also visually stunning according to the design by famous action designer Yuen Ho Ping (Responsible for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and The Matrix trilogy). But being a long time Kung Fu watcher, i personally thought it would've been even more superior with less cgi. Overall i give it a 9 out of 10. It's probably the most entertaining Chinese film to date. This one will sure save a spot for Steven Chow in the history of Asian cinema. I think the movie comes out worldwide somewhere in March. Hope people around the world can also enjoy this film as much.",10 "Not sure what all of the great reviews are about?? The first 2 hours had a couple of good scenes with Brad Pitt facing off against Bruce Lee and dealing with a hippy farm. Other than those 2 scenes the movie was very flat until the climax - which was awesome, but not good enough to compensate for the rest of the movie. The cinematography was excellent along with the retro feel. I'm used to Tarantino creating more tension throughout the whole movie and it just wasn't there. I'm glad I watched in on my Regal unlimited pass 😎",6 "No this is not funny. Mostly because Sandler is not funny at all. The story is ok, but you need funny actors to make it a funny movie. Poor dialogues and no surprises make this a ""not to watch. Anniston is not on her best but what to expect with a boring Sandler.",5 "The pace was so annoying. And the plot got too complicated and I just think it's boring. I really wanted to like this and I'm having a hard time rating this. It's just not what I expected and I am just so dissapointed. I love the message about sticking to your dream and the movie portrayed it well, just in a kind of annoying way...I don't know how to explain it with words.",3 "I finally beat my fear of disappointment and binge watch and i love it every minute. Witcher world is much more rich than GOT or Lotr, it was just a matter of execution, and the execution was good, could been better with more bugdet, but i can't see how a witcher fan or not could be disappointed",9 "This is a review of someone who haven't played the games or read the books but have heard of the witcher books & video games so i know the general outline. The show built the world okay in the first couple of episodes & you don't have to have witcher background to keep up most of the times. But it falls short when it come to building relationships between certain characters like yennefer & geralt. Their relationship developed too quickly & became too attached & reliant on each considering how independent & strong they are, it's clear that the writers wanted to develop their story line quickly & they relied on the books & the game fans to understand why they are the way they are but to anyone else it just seems too out of character for both of them to trust & fall for someone so fast. This is the major reason it can't be compared to game of thrones as GOT delivered character building world while fantasy took a back seat. The witcher is revolving around fantasy & magic & how that changes & develops the characters in the show. Neither is better or worse as it's too early to judge. It's just they're completely different shows with completely different ways of telling a story",7 "I didn't think Sandra Bullock could get more annoying then in Gravity. But she has !! This could've worked, it has the potential for a good story. But fails, miserably. Girl stole the show, a little sweetheart. Sandra Bullock must have a damn good agent , I can't think of any other reason why or how she is cast for anything??? The icing on the cake was the ending .......pass me a bucket!!!!",3 "This flick lost me with the never ending chase sequence for at least ten minutes. I will never know if there was actually a movie in there somewhere because after ten minute of ridiculousness, what with all the innocent bystanders getting killed and maimed, I wouldn't give a crap about any of these characters anyway so I moved on.",1 "What worked: overall production team; it's one of the very few Bollywood movies that stood the expectations and set the bar high, challenging the movie team around and setting a record by demonstrating what can be reached with a overall great team. Not a single team deserves the praise. Performance wise, Manoj Bajpayee and Nawazudin Siddhiqui stole the show. All the supporting casts were casted brilliantly giving us a watchable and believable ambiance. The music and score are commendable and the experiment actually worked on the favor of the team. The screenplay, action design, production design and direction are well balanced. An avid movie lover understand the quality of the movie we have in front of us, and I think many won't deny that it's one of the best Bollywood movies in the genre. Few have been able to excel the scale and the movie making process altogether. What did not work: Final verdict: highly recommended",9 "In an unnamed German city, Johannes Beltzer aka Jojo Rabbit (played by Roman Griffin Davis) is a ten-year-old boy enlisted in the Hitler Youth organization during the later years of World War II. Despite his naive dedication to Nazism, his clumsiness leaves him unsuitable for the harder aspects of junior war duty. While the spoken language in the film is English, notes, posters, and pamphlets are in German. This mix is questionable but less questionable than the film's mix of satirical humour with genuine drama. Jojo has an imaginary adult Nazi friend named Adolf (a light caricature of Hitler) played by the film's writer/director, Taika Waititi. Much of the humour (attempted or otherwise) seems to be at Jojo's expense in a sometimes sadistic way. Interestingly, the dark humour / satire aspects of the film's first half seem unnecessary as well as silly. Its dramatic side (more prominent in the second half) is quite touching and could have stood alone without earlier attempts at lightness. All scenes involving Jojo's mother, Rosie (Scarlett Johansson) raise the film to a higher level. This is not just due to the performance but also the very different character: someone who tries her best to shed light on her and Jojo's situation while her country has sunk to the lowest depths. There are also three exceptional scenes. One involves an unusual revelation of a death that is shocking and heartbreaking. Another involves an unexpected visit by the Gestapo to inspect Jojo's home. A surprising twist occurs in that scene - one that creates much fear and tension. And finally, the scene that indicates the end of the war is very powerful. That scene includes humour that is actually quite fitting via Jojo's friend Yorki, (Archie Yates), another Hitler Youth misfit who spews out absurd Nazi lies including outrageous assumptions about British soldiers. Portraying a teenaged Jewish girl who has experienced far more than any young person should have, Thomasin McKenzie shows great talent. In silence, her face shows many pent-up, conflicting emotions. Hopefully, she will be in many more movies in the years ahead.",7 "Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D is a promising action/adventure series, which (according to Radio times) America is mad about. Friday nights are nothing special for me. I love to relax whilst watching an entertaining show on the TV, however recently not many decent shows have been broad casted. After viewing a convincing trailer of the new series, I was persuaded into watching the first episode. What I saw surprised and delighted me. This is a fun, quick-paced, edge-of-your-seat thriller about heroes VS villains, full of sharp twists and turns. The characters are likable, and while humour lacks in it for me, the action is something to behold and cherish. I am looking forward to see where Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D heads in the future episodes.",8 The most important thing in the movie is the story. No story here. I have to go see a show in the theater better than this.,1 """Kungfu Panda 2"" is an excellent sequel to an excellent preceding film and a truly fun film to experience with your family and friends. It is as enjoyable as watching through the first time, maybe even better. Here, the elements from the first film are improved and crafted for this sequel to create a wonderful, stunning, and memorable adventure that will surely entertain all its audiences and leave them hungry for more Po. The plot of this movie is much more enveloping than that of the first film. Po, now the Dragon Warrior is a hero protecting the citizens of China with his fellow friends, the Furious Five, as well as his master, Master Shifu. But then, a threat endangers all of China as well and threatens the existence of Kungfu. This threat is organized by the peacock, Lord Shen, who is after the destruction of China, and the extinction of Kungfu. Now Po, the Kungfu Panda, with the Furious Five, are determined to stop Lord Shen from destroying China and the existence of Kungfu, despite that Lord Shen has designed a very powerful weapon (something like a catapult). But doing so takes Po into learning the truth about the past, about who his parents are, and about who he is. ""Panda 2"" is also the first ""Panda"" film to be shown in 3D, which wasn't quite bad. Depth was practically conspicuous throughout the film and is certainly not a bad choice in how to enjoy this film. ""Kungfu Panda 2"" is definitely a film worth watching in 3D. With a more threatening premise, and the addition of 3D, ""Panda 2"" also improves on the action scenes. The fighting scenes were very entertaining and should keep kids and adults hooked. The animation movements and CGI in ""Kungfu Panda 2"" are also excellent and awesome. The backgrounds, and the setting are all very detailed and the complex movements of the characters are simply perfect. Bravo! Another element welcome to the ""Panda"" movies is romance. In this movie, Po will start to have a relationship with another creature (No, I won't tell who he had it with). Speaking of relationships, the movie will also get emotional as Po begins to discover the truth about his past. Humor plays an essential role in this film and will leave you laughing in your seats. I think the jokes here can give you more laughs than the jokes from the first film. ""Kungfu Panda 2"" will definitely keep you laugh your head off. Apart from all these, I was also amazed in how they could use a peacock as a skilled martial arts creature. At first, I thought, how could they use a peacock, full of feathers, as a martial arts villain. Then ""Kungfu Panda 2"" revealed it all and I was stunned by their work in crafting a feathery bird, into a dangerous, and ruthless villain. In terms of recommendation, I would recommend this movie to all ages. The humor will appeal to little children, as well as older audiences alike, and the fighting scenes will appeal to teenagers, or and older audience. 3D is definitely worth it for experiencing this film. After analyzing the box office performance of ""Kungfu Panda 2"", I feel pitiful for the movie, especially when Dreamworks have crafted a wonderful and amazing film for audiences to enjoy. I do hope that the box office performance of the film rebounds and becomes a great hit in the box office world. I also do hope that this movie will be successful enough for the sake of ""Panda 3"". So yes. Po's fist hungers for justice. But I hunger for more Po! Prince AJB's Rating: 10/10 (Excellent) Thank you for reading my review on ""Kungfu Panda 2"". I hope my review is useful for you.",10 "The visuals and sound were great, but that is not enough to make this overrated movie actually good. The plot was so incredibly convenient and unrealistic that it completely took me out of the movie, and the repetitive ""action"" scenes grow boring quickly. The acting is nothing special, and it certainly isn't helped by the dialogue. The characters are unbelievable, and anyone who passed middle school science can tell that some of the physics (mainly one of the most important scenes of the movie) make no sense. Overall, Gravity is fun to look at, but just isn't a good movie. The insane amount of hype for this movie made it all the more disappointing.",5 I think they tried to do way too much. There's so much going on in this movie with all these different characters and it's just absolutely ridiculous. They should've stopped while they were ahead. This is just stupid!,3 A gripping story about a girl who turns out to be a brilliant chess player.,8 "But I still finished watching it.To be honest I don't like it very much, it's hard to accept its style.",5 "The first season was very very very hard to get through, mostly boring and alot of annoying characters at first & alot of story lines all running at once. But once season 2 comes out it was much better and breeded a new batch of characters and some left that probably should never return. The only thing I do find annoying now is Decourcy's wife's extra scenes like she is just an annoying character. But Jackie Rorh is the perfect character in this and I love his acting in this. I also like getting to see alot more how Law Enforcement & The DA work more when it comes to crime. Defenitley a great watch.",7 "Two episodes into S4 and I have come to the conclusion this is the most overrated show ever. S1 - Interesting/ not bad S2 - Ok, I guess. S3 - Meh S4 - Puke.",1 "It wasn't bad but it wasn't as entertaining, it just felt really superficial but it tried to go deep even though Barbie isn't supposed to be deep, the whole image of Barbie is being perfect and not achievable. If the message was to make it an empowering movie they should've just hired a regular looking actress instead of the excessively beautiful Margot Robbie. Wouldn't watch it ever again and wouldn't recommend. Overall the filming was good and about the monologue at the end, it looked like a 10 year old could've written it, it was just so superficial and the world just wanted it to be amazing so they basically gaslighted everyone into thinking it was the movie of the year, meanwhile other movies were a lot better and deserve more recognition.",4 "I'm NOT a Barbie girl in NOT the Barbie World, Life in plastic, It's NOT fantastic. In the beginning of the film, it can be thought that will go nice way with a good end and a powerful message. There is so much effort in the beginning, like building a strong idea, however this is disappered in the final. And this is such a disappointment that the film does nothing about giving an idea about liberal feminism because there is always managers as boys or girls. I think the film's main idea should be every human being no matter it is a boy or a girl can be everything they want and can be handle every situation as a human. It is ridiculous to discuss this as ""being a man or a woman"" in the 2023. In the Barbie world or in the real world it should be out of date. The final should be reviewed with this manner cause the expactation was very high with this huge-budget film...",5 "It struck me half way through this film that the whole viewing experience would have been greatly enhanced if you were on mind altering drugs 😂. From a benign somewhat average start the film quickly descends into a cheap amalgamation of eclectic film genre. Cliche after cliché attempt to sew together sometimes incomprehensible material. Explanations were faulty and hurried leaving you guessing and missing the next hurried onslaught. It was, I can only explain as a poor attempt at combining a Monty Python film with a sub standard Matrix offering that then gave birth to Rom Com offspring. Ultimately empty and meaningless which I believe was the point of the film. Hey maybe that was the intention behind this mess of a movie ??",2 "Funny reading some of the first reviews. Me thinks the Sandler, I e , Netflix camps jumped in quickly and added the great reviews. C mon Adam, this is a stinker!!!!! Maybe I am not so artsy fartsy as I thought. Such a bore fest! The issue is when you sign a big movie deal, the creativity tends to wane. Maybe I like the fart and poopy joke movies from Sandler more, I don't know what it is! Now here is a dilemma, how about getting an Irish, or German actor to play a Jewish character, a Jewish person playing a Jewish character is not acting!!!!!! But I get it! (Cancel culture, I am Jewish by the way)",4 "Slow, boring, and lacking emotion. Can't believe this is so highly rated. Extremely disappointing.",2 "............. Waste of time I wish I had read some of the other comments about this show earlier. I mean the ones that say it's awful and a waste of time. That's what it is. Never wrote a review before. But this is far too overrated. Please use your time for one of the many good productions I am sure you can find a lot of movies of people ""meeting"" animals.. if you are into this stuff. But even if you like this show, please don't trick people into watching this with your rating .......",8 "Captain America: Civil America is such a strong powerful marvel superhero movie! The acting is great from the entire cast, including Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Sebastian Stan. I loved this film also for the extended superbly done action sequences. The action/violence is done just right for a marvel movie. The writing is very well done too, it's got it's comedic moments that are truly funny and delivered well by the actors. The stunts are great and the special effects/visuals are very well put together. I liked the younger new teenage Spider-Man here, i thought he did well with his role. You will not be bored for one second all throughout this film, never a dull moment. That is the duty of a hero movie after all, is to entertain with action, and to create good characters with depth. Civil War did all of those things very well, it wasn't perfection, but it came pretty damn close. The different characters come together so well, and their chemistry is spot on. I was genuinely happy with this entry in the marvel hero franchise, the director made all the right decisions. I give Captain America a 9 out of 10.",9 "All the fake buzz around this movie got me to watch it. Sadly, those precious minutes are lost to the nether - never to be recovered. Just when I thought ""The Happening"" couldn't be made any worse, Netflix proves me wrong. I feel like they knew it was the trifecta: boring, bad writing and implausible. So rather than can it, they created a fake media interest in it to see how many lemmings would partake. Turns out I'm a lemming, I just didn't go off the cliff and rate this as remotely watchable.",1 "I am unclear as to why this clever, funny comedy only ran two seasons on HBO. It was certainly highly touted in its day. Produced by Ron Howard, ""Arrested Development"" is about a dysfunctional family, the Bluths. The patriarch (Jeffrey Tambor) has been imprisoned for illegal real estate practices. At one point, he is entertaining offers from rival prison gangs, trying to decide which one to join. He leaves on the outside the only normal child, Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) to cooperate with authorities and help the rest of the family. The family includes Michael's alcoholic mother (Jessica Walter), his shallow twin Lindsay (Portia del Rossi), his shy brother Buster (Tony Hale), and his magician brother Job (Will Arnett), who tries for publicity by telling the warden of the prison his father is in that he can escape. He does - by going to the hospital when someone stabs him. Except for his mother and Buster, they all live together in a model home, along with Michael's young son George Michael, Lindsay's daughter Maeby, and Lindsay's husband, the psychiatrist turned actor Tobias. No one has ever worked, and all that's basically left of the family fortune is the Bluth Banana Stand and a mobile stairway vehicle, the last vestige of the corporate jet. Some of this show is absolutely hilarious, including Liza Minnelli chasing Buster, who flirted with her when he wasn't wearing his glasses, the arson of the banana stand, and Michael driving the mobile stairway around. It's possible that ""Arrested Development"" was a little ahead of its time. Though I don't find some of today's off-beat comedies very funny, this very funny one would have fit right in, and with the Bernie Madoff situation, timely as well. Very enjoyable, with excellent writing and acting.",8 "One of the best tv series ever. The writers, directors, actors... really amazing.",10 Dont waste a time. Better way that watch any south or Hollywood movie.,1 "In one scene the 60s actor Steve McQueen is meantioned. That is as close to the coolness of Steve McQueen found in the entire film. Other than that, the film is a bit long but reasonably well done.",7 "After 5 episodes I gave up watching. I could not stand dr. Smith, an extremely irritating one dimensional character that ruins the show. It's not the actress, it's the script.",1 Great Series with every episode shows a different era of television.,9 "It is so bad that I couldn't watch for more than 20 minutes. All the scenes are so much exaggerated without any plausible reason, the screenplay is terrible with a nonsense timeline running in parallel while a crazy guy is doing drift to catch your attention... And I can't forget to mention the tipical yellow cinematography that you will see in Micheal Bay's.",3 "Here is why I think this movie is overrated: The characters are unconvincing. Given that they all have an eye for exploiting other people for money, how did they become so poor in the first place, unless there was some kind of sudden divine inspiration? And is uncouth behavior all the working class would like to achieve once given the opportunity to become rich? Although the movie seems to be compassionate with the poor as a first impression, it does the au contraire from a class perspective. The naive and gullible rich are defrauded by the covetous poor! Shouldn't be like, the rich are covetous so they have become rich? The acting is mediocre if not bad compared to other Korean movies such as Handmaiden or 3-iron. All in all, it is a so-so movie which nobody will lose anything if not watches.",5 "The acting is great, the drama portion of it is great. But it shouldn't be the Witcher. It doesn't follow the story very much. And when it does it jumps past some main parts and goes through the rest extremely quickly.",1 "I am all for racial equality and lawful immigration and promoting them within a movie/TV show - WITHIN REASON. But the entire plot was just a big political correctness video. Also - the villain wasn't believable and lacked total personality. Combination of bad acting and bad writing for that character. If it wasn't for how much I love the Bucky and the Falcon characters, I would have stopped watching after the 2nd episode. Hopefully,, there will be a 2nd season that is a little less preachy and with a better storyline.",7 "Sherlock Holmes the action hero is here. This is a film made for people who have not had any but the most fleeting contact with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic hero. Unfortunately, everything that makes Doyle's Sherlock interesting (his dedication to cold logic, self-destructive nature and absolute need for puzzles to solve in order to keep his dark side busy) is all but gone, mostly replaced with less disturbing traits. Instead of an intellectual character who defeats his enemies with his mind, the Sherlock in this film is more likely to employ his fists and weapons. Just being smart simply isn't sexy, so Holmes gets to be a Victorian Dirty Harry instead. If you have only a vague idea of who Sherlock Holmes is then you'll probably love this film. Production value is high, the acting mostly good, the rendering of London wonderful. Anyone who ever read one of Doyle's books, however, should stay well away. Of course we have Sherlock Holmes 2 to look forward to as well. Where, no doubt, more bad guys will taste Holmes fists of fury. Do you feel fortuitous, tramp?",3 "Slow movie... mediocre overall... I didn't like the fact that Jodie foster was just a kid and got evolved with this movie (being a prostitute) They could have chosen an adult, a woman who looked much younger...",6 "Bay... back in the Simpson/Bruckheimer era you were excellent. But this... WHAT HAPPENED??? It's an incoherent and noisy mess.",1 "Pathetic story, bonded together poorly. Has potential though",6 Wyatt Russell in Caps uniform is painful but his acting and dialogue they have given him is even worse. Big fan of both these MCU characters and unfortunately this series does little to add to franchise.,5 "A TV series like this could be valued either for authenticity or a story. Ok, a black elf, clearly seen contact lenses, a bard with modern blues melody and modern language like ""population control"" totally ruined the first, while no characters to root for and no deep story did the second. Anyway I feel I should force myself to watch it to the end at least to enjoy some fantasy world.",1 "We are approaching the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks and as we promised, we will NEVER FORGET but I wonder how much we have grown. In the days following the attacks, there was the most unified act of patriotism among Americans I have ever seen. We were joined in a search for justice, supported with vigor those who took up arms to get it and prayed for unwavering strength in our determination to maintain our democratic ideals. That did not mean that our country is free of flaws. Ignorance, hatred, racial and religious divides as well as overall inequality still reside here and we must not give up on the belief that we can overcome these things with love, compassion and humanity. This film beautifully demonstrates this. A highly recommended watch.",9 "This is absolutely the most boring movie I have sat through. Little dialogue, characters you couldn't care less for, most of the dialogue is mumbling, the score is annoying, the time-line is confusing to say the least. There were 350,000 men on that beach, in the movie there are a couple hundred at most. Full of cliché lines that make you cringe. No enemy, no stakes, no obstacles for the protagonist whoever it was.",1 "Annabelle comes home was extremely disappointing, despite sadly setting itself up early with a lot of potential to be a very terrifying movie. It set itself up really well from the outset and with a few of the early jumpscares, the tension and suspense was set decently well. Unfortunately the humour that gave light breaks from the horror felt forced, unnecessary, and honestly detracted from the scariness of the movie as a whole. Further, (NO SPOILERS DON'T WORRY) the plot in the last act didn't really make much sense, even more so when compared with the other movies in the franchise. Aside from some obvious plot holes, it's clear that this movie doesn't have the same fresh terrifying horror that we loved so much in the original conjuring. We need James Wan back to direct the next however many movies that are to come in this franchise. To conclude, don't go into this one with high expectations and you'll enjoy it, it's got a few good jumpscares and its still an alright horror movie that'll definitely give you a jump at some point or another, definitely fitting in as not very much better than the nun however.",6 "... you just hit the jackpot"", Mary Jane Watson ~ Dialogue straight out of the comic book ensuring that this sequel is going to be well worth the wait! OK, not quite as good as the first - sequels seldom are - but a valiant effort on the part of Sam Raimi. Here we have the next big Super Villain, Dr Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), who is about to further complicate Spider-Man's (Tobey Maguire) already failing personal life: Parker is experiencing financial difficulties and his studies are slipping. To top it all off, Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) is now engaged to astronaut John Jameson, son of Parker's overbearing newspaper editor, Jonah. Things just go from bad to worse for the web-slinger. Meanwhile, following the death of his father (the Green Goblin), Harry Osborn has now now taken over Oscorp Industries and is in business talks with Dr Otto Octavius. The Doctor, Parker's idol, has created a set of mechanical arms that are impervious to heat and magnetism; the experiment goes wrong and the arms become fused to the spine of Octavius, taking complete control of the doctor both mentally and physically. Aunt May is later captured and taken hostage by Dr Octopus. Spider-Man too falls prey to capture and is delivered to Harry, where his true identity is under threat. How much can one guy take? 'Spider-Man 2' is all about choices for Peter Parker: lose his alter-ego and concentrate on number one or continue with the responsibility he chose after the death of Uncle Ben ~ Raimi has skillfully recreated the classic scene - panel-for-panel - from Amazing Spider-Mam #50, Spider-Man No More, written by Stan Lee, pencilled by John Romita, and inked by Mickey Dimeo. Here Parker is seen leaving a rainy alleyway where his discarded costume hangs from the throat of a garbage can. Raimi has concentrated on the Parker who is forced to deal with actual everyday problems in Spider-Man 2, one we can all sympathize with. Parker's character outweighs that of other superheroes, for the simple fact that - at heart - he is just an ordinary guy trying to exist in a complicated world. Also stars: Bill Nunn, J K Simmons, Ted Raimi, Bruce Campbell with Cliff Robertson and Willem Dafoe. Matthew J Lee-Williams, Review.",9 "If you'd have told me that the TV series of Hannibal was going to be this good I'd have simply not believed you. The movies were not even that great, though plenty would probably disagree with me. Yet, the series not only introduces a total new take on Hannibal Lecture (I mean new compared to the films not the novel which I haven't read) but completely erases any memory of the Anthony Hopkins portrayal. I felt I could have watched Hannibal indefinitely, the flow was so hypnotic and the characters so well portrayed and the concepts touched upon with such respect it was a blessing to experience. Every series was enjoyable to the point of re-watching, and the themes and philosophical musings (captured so well by the production and actors) felt not only like high brow entertainment but deeply personal on every level. Loved it",10 "Absolutely beautiful series, from sets, to acting, to the plot (twist), and to the script writing, the absolute excellent flair could be felt throughout the four seasons. The series has touched me in ways I wouldn't have imagined, not only does it provoke your cognitive abilities, but certain scenes just touch you emotionally and I can definitely vouch that this series is worth the binge watch. I wanted to give 10/10 but a few scenes sometimes didn't make sense, meaning, didn't always provide mind boggling answers, but I think if we watch the second or third time, we'll have the knack of Holmes and his ways. So it might not be totally easygo for the first timers, but as Watson says, ""it is what it is.""",9 "From beginning to end this megabucks production serves only the purpose of displaying as many creatures from the potter series as possible in a standard runtime. Plot wise it's as predictable as you'd expect from a children movie - this is a kids movie, right? - you can watch it with one eye open and still get terribly bored. Of note: despite being its sole purpose, the cgi can be oh-hum at times, and several scenes are so badly lit that the green screens are obvious. In short , it even fails at what little expectations you may have of it.",1 "This show is great! I highly recommend it. However, my only issue is that they didn't do a good job at doing the transition, so we can distinguishing the past and current moments in the episodes. Which you can get a little lost.",9 What is this??Is this a movie?People paid for this it seems so it must buy.Noone cares about dr strange.And for any of the characters.It is really really bad.,2 "This is the first movie in years that has kept a smile on my face through out the whole thing. It's not some deep thought cinema masterpiece and it doesn't try to be its a fun and goofy movie. A lot of people are angry over how it handled some things from the comics but honestly I'm glad it is pretty different from them if I wanted a true to blue comic viewing I'd read the comic books these movies give a fresh ,fun and lovable version of venom. If you plan on watching this be ready for a goofball of a movie don't expect to ponder life after watching it. These past two years have been terrible for everyone so just enjoy the movie if you want to and don't listen to the gatekeepers.",10 "As a die-hard fan of Harry Potter, I can't tell you how exited I was for this movie to come out. For over a year I had a countdown app to keep of how many days were left until the 18th. But, after having read cursed child and being disappointed with how she continued the series, I was cautious about how she would illustrate the past. But Fantastic Beasts did the very opposite of disappoint. It was better than I could have ever dreamed and it's a shame that we now have to wait two years for the next one. Even if I wasn't a fan of Harry Potter I would still love it (though a lot of it would go over my head) Every fan NEEDS to see this movie asap.",7 Really like it. Not much special effects. But because of that the story is more real. Sometimes it is a bit cheezy,9 "One of the worst movies I have ever seen. The Characters have zero, ZERO redeeming qualities. This movie unfolds from one foul-mouthed mess up to the next, each being more predictable then the previous.",5 A very dull and uneventful film. Nothing happens. The acting is great they say but good acting is pointless if there is no story. It was also too long.,2 "While this was entertaining it honestly doesn't deserve all the hype it got. Don't go in expecting your socks to be knocked off. It had it's moments but it wasn't the most amazing thing ever. The whodunit Agathie Christie style trope of interviewing the suspects in a huge house after what appears to be a murder. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. Was it the maid with the candlestick in the library? It started slow but it picked up a bit eventually. Some of it actually came off really silly and ridiculous but Ana De Armas was great and the ending wasn't entirely underwhelming but this isn't the best whodunnit, also some of these characters were uneccesary.",7 ANYONE WHO GIVES THIS MOVIE A 10/10 is completely lying. I have never wasted more time in a movie than this one. Complete utter garbage. How could Leonardo nor Brad have ever agreed to do this horrible movie. People this is a real review. It is terrible.,3 The movie was very well done the way it depicted the mind of a young Nazi youth camp boy and how the Nazis propaganda has brainwashed the young boy i think Rosie is by far the best character in this movie and Scarlett johanson gave the most emotionally heartwarming and heartbreaking performance. over all i love the film and i highly recommend it,7 "Okay, first of all whats with the ranking . i am seriouly not able to understand the IMDb ranking system these days and then the"" GRAVITY"""". Seriously did the movie had so much gravity in it . if you remove the 3d effects. then its like watching a reboot of 127 hours. and whats with Sandra Bullock , when will she try to understand that there are othr people in the movie also who need some credit . and if she has a fan following so do others have . i would rather say play a sci fi space game . a trilogy and u will find that better one . and about the ranking and reviews i don't think there were so many good titles in 2013 who received so much acclaim while they were not even a bit good to be compared to the word GOOD. i think so if GRAVITY should had been placed near a TV video or than a artist films with no sounds then the movie deserves a 8.5. by the way u have to have a great imagination to put yourself in the movie and take a ride with sandra bullock .",6 "The series are very stylish, nice, intriquiing. The actors arr both very good playing and very nice looking. The idea to have all the magical spoeces at once and to interract eachother is cery clever.",10 "I really wanted to love it, but I kinda just liked it. Isaac is an excellent actor - but the whole series just lacked a punch. Nothing that has been done recently has got anywhere close to the likes of Daredevil, even though this feels as though the character could take it along that tone! I will be tuning in to a second season and hoping that it is a vast improvement.",6 Painfully long and nothing meaningful happened. Repeated bs and total trash. I was confused throughout and nothing made sense. Fights were trash and the story could not be more predictable.,1 "Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort's immortality and destruction--the Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart. (Warner Bros. Pictures) As the WB logo appeared deteriorating before my very eyes, I knew things have changed since the first HP film. Each succeeding HP film has gotten progressively darker as the series is coming to its end. HP7, the first part of the last film, doesn't change the pattern. It's a dark film, literally and figuratively. The film shows blood as if it were nothing and even the cinematography has gone shaky-cam style in some action scenes. However, being part of the last film and all, HP7 doesn't have a lot of action as one might have thought. It's arguably the slowest moving HP film to date and that's equally its main strength and downfall. Having the pace slow down quite a bit hurts the film for the most obvious reason: It meanders, especially in the second act. I actually felt like looking at my watch, which never happened to me before in the previous films. However, the film is still filled with a lot of information. Non-readers will find themselves overwhelmed by the information hurdled at them and even I, who have read the books, felt confused in parts of the film. Ironically, most of the series' best moments are in this film. That's because the slow pace allows for a lot of intimate scenes between the three young actors, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. These three actors have grown with each passing film and it shows here. I think Watson and Grint were really at the top of their games in this film. Radcliffe, while the weakest, is good too but not as good as the other two. While I'll take intimate scenes between them over action any day, there were just some scenes that were really tedious. Still, that didn't ruin the film for me. It just bothered me. The other cast members don't appear in the film as much, but it's appropriate considering the three main actors are isolated from society. Like the previous HP films, the cinematography and production are gorgeous and the score by newcomer Alexandre Desplat brings in a fresh voice to the franchise. As a fan, I would say this is the most disappointing HP film to date, although that's no way to say the film is bad. It's a good film, but a very flawed one at that mainly due to it's slow pacing. The three actors are as great as ever and the film ends at the perfect point for part two. If you're a HP fan, there's no doubt you'll enjoy this.",9 "I've read all the books and played all the games. This show this far through 5 episodes is a faithful retelling of the two short story books, The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. The acting is top notch, it is funny in parts and all Witcher. All those in question are absolved, Henry Cavill is the real deal.",9 "Though the film has had its wider release in the States, on this side of the Atlantic we're still a couple of weeks away from ""American Fiction"" being available. However, there was a secret screening I went to last night that ended up being this film. This somewhat satirical comedy drama is great and funny, despite some sadder themes. Thelonious Ellison (Jefferey Wright), known as Monk to his friends, is a critically acclaimed but not particularly successful writer, frustrated with the way his career is going. Already needing to address his mother's dementia, his life is complicated by the death of his sister Lisa (Tracee Ellis Ross) who was financing her care and his brother, Cliff's (Sterling K Brown) complicated personal life. In frustration, he writes the worst black trauma story he can think of, mostly as a joke, but when it receives an immediate and lucrative offer, he has to decide whether his financial woes outweigh his creative standards. That's summary doesn't make it sound particularly funny, but to get this upfront, it is - and I laughed a lot watching it. It helps, I think, that the film is tonally spot on. That satire of white liberal exploitation in the publishing industry is there, but it's not the whole film - it's not even most of the film. It's a family drama, grounded by a tremendous central performance from Jeffrey Wright, who is willing to make Monk both the screaming voice of reason, in a sea of hypocrisy, but also a condescending and distant character, who will compromise his beliefs for financial gain, but not for relationships ones. There are a couple of fantasy elements within the story, that are used to explain both the novel that Monk writes and the ending of the film. I can see those perhaps being a little divisive and at the end, felt to me a little like a cop out (and I'm not sure calling it out as such within the film is as much of a defence as it might be). I don't particularly like using film to describe other films, but ""Adaptation"" is a good touchpoint. Personally, those elements, even the ending, didn't undermine what was a genuinely funny and clever film. I liked the ""Watchmen"" series quite a bit too and I'm looking forward to seeing what Cord Jefferson does next.",8 "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is another disappointment from MCU phase 4 and 5. This movie feels just like another rehash of preexisting tropes, concepts, and characters from other marvel movies and comics. The writing is laughably bad, both in terms of one-one meaningful conversations, and in overall structure and plot. In older MCU movies, you would have more personal conversations between the heavy action and events. These more personal conversations would help us care more about these characters and therefore what's at stake by losing them. And they wouldn't even nesscairly move the plot forward, but they made us care. In this movie. Every conversation in this move only serves the purpose of explaining what's happening, or to inspire an action. Or if something personal is said, it's done in a bafflingly shallow way. Also another thing that ticks me off is that almost every new character introduced into this move dies immediately, and we just never see them again. The acting is pretty bad also. The peak was Doctor Strange himself of course (I think he did the best with the script he got) whose acting was okayish, and America At least tried, but every other character feels like their actors just did not care (Especially John Krasinski). Some other issues are the CGI that honestly looks worse than 5 years ago, An extremely fast pace, and the fact that for some reason everyone just forgives Wanda for every single thing she does (Like they treat her way too nice considering at this point she's basically a war criminal). Overall, If you're looking for a movie to turn off you're brain to and just watch flashy CGI battles, then this movies for you. But If you want the quality of movies that marvel was putting out a few years back, you ain't getting it here.",4 "Can't understand why this movie is getting the acclaim that it is getting. Yes, there's many like me who found the three hours squirm-inducing,dull and much in need of an editing scissors. For a much better choice in the same subject matter, try ""Boiler Room"", better acting, better story, and much more disciplined direction and editing. Although it is contrary to my nature and even though I'm writing a review which is essentially saying that this movie is overlong, too wordy, repetitive, and should be edited down to remove all the superfluous fluff, I find myself repeating myself here even though my credibility as someone who appreciates conciseness is now in jeopardy.",2 "The Godfather still carries the double plot formula which is still connected to each other like the previous sequel. Scenes between Michael Corleone and Vito Corleone, later played by Robert de Niro, alternately graced the viewing screen. Only this time, the connection between the plots is not as solid as before. This film only tells about the biography of the main character Vito Corleone in the story of Michael Corleone which should be the focus of the story. Then in the storyline about Michael himself, the author found a lot of uncertainty regarding the things that happened to each character. For example, Fredo turns out to be the mastermind behind the difficulties in Michael's business. It's just that his motivation also feels less intense, he only does it for classic reasons, his pride as an older brother. The plot of The Godfather as a whole is too complex. Unclear presentation of instructions for the continuation of the story makes the writer tend to feel bored. Fortunately, the flashback plot regarding Vito Corleone's story is more exciting to watch. Moreover, Robert de Niro's acting is said to be very similar to Marlon Brando.",10 "It's amazing how you manage to keep a show going for 11 years with similar good quality. For me, it was always a way to end the day, watch another episode, smile and go to bed in a good mood. I will miss these bizarre characters and their stories.",8 "A Discovery og Witches is fun. Technically it is really good. The camera angles are class. The plot is nice. The writing, ehm, could use some help. The acting is great, except for Theresa Palmer who is fine, but at times a bit cringey People Should stop with the 'book' bs. The author is clearly fine with it. The pilot was horribly edited. But it gets better Over all a cool Experience IF you arent a nitpicker and a reader of All Souls.",8 "A questionable attempt that failed to capture the magic of Harry Potter films. What happened David Yates? Did you lose your magic after the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2? The only good and pure emotional moments in this film came after the capture of Grindelwald. It seems David Yates gave 100% for the finale and 10% for the rest of the film, same goes for J. K. Rowling and her jumbled script.",6 "All characters have done justice to their roles , well crafted fun movie",9 "I'm up to date with the show and I swear it just seems to be getting worse! I'm actually starting to get annoyed as I know that I have to stick around for all the episodes because I know it'll all link in with the next phase but damn it's hard! By far and away the worst thing The MCU have done. Edit: I was wrong!! Skip the first 4 or 5 episodes, and watch the rest, they catch you up with what's happened anyway without having to deal with them for a full half hour.",5 "Once in a while, i must remind myself how bad something really is, how much i dislike something . so i went to suffer thru this episode . here it starts : the cargo bay of a C-17 pressurized ?? puleez ! and the list goes on . vehicular chases are sped up so much that it is hard to see what is going on . and those incredible moment of imminent dangers without showing how the actor gets out of it is totally frustrating, cg being already grossly unrealistic .",4 "I've just seen the first 1,5 hours but I already have a few questions: Why did the sexy assassin have sex in the toilet with the photographer? Is this because she wanted sex or wanted his wallet? If the former, a strange way for an ice-cool killer to act; if the second, surely there are other, more realistic ways to get the guy's wallet? Why did the assassin parachute out of the plane (wearing a sexy mini-bob helmet) in dark glasses? It was night after all. In fact why didn't she just land and go through customs in the normal way. After all, there are many planes from Germany landing in the US each day, and apparently the ""government men"" (CIA? FBI? - we're never told)were on the lookout for a German. The sexy assassin is clearly American. And how did she know exactly where the plane was before she parachuted? She was picked up immediately by her accomplice (the series is after all in real time) so she must have had a spectacular sense of direction. Why does the mother and father of the 2 missing girls never contact the police? Why do they illegally enter the furniture shop and then clean up the mess. Wouldn't the police have needed the mess as evidence? If the film is ""real time"" how come the plastic surgery on the assassin supposed to be able to pass off as the photographer was planned, done, and he recovered all in the space of a few minutes? When Kiefer's boss gets shot why didn't Kiefer call the ambulance? Even when he calls his HQ all he informs them are that there are 2 dead agents - not a dead (or dying - how did Kiefer know which?)boss? And why did Kiefer only cut off the finger of one of the killed agents to help in his identification? What about the other one? And why....oh hell I'm only beginning the second hour I'm sure I'll be able to post many more questions in the near future... If anybody (particularly the shows' producers) can answer any or all of the above questions I would be really grateful. After all, I'm sure the producers didn't want to treat the American public as morons so I'm sure there are very logical but maybe cryptic answers to all my questions and I guess I'm just too dim to guess what they are..",2 "This movie contains everything that is wrong with modern age film making.

The movie story: a bad hodgepodge of comedy, drama, romance, mystery, conscienciousness porn where three people that came out from war and go their separate ways, end up together and getting involved with said conspiracy. If someone told me this was directed by four different people, I'd believe it. Good cast and acting, except for unnecessary cameo by that blonde teen pop singer. The villains are scooby doo level of stupid.",9 "Such an amazing series. Whatever you say,whatever you do may hurt a person. So you need to be very careful about your behaviors. 13 reasons why is a good symbol for this situation and it explains a lot of situations like that.",8 "I've always thought that Dreamworks productions are always 1 step behind Pixar. But Kung Fu Panda (2008) has proved me wrong. Unlike most sequels, it's always either better than the first or worst than the first. Not this time, Kung Fu Panda 2 didn't try to recycle cinematography angles or cheesy lines or similar animation scenes. Which is why I would say – watch it! I wouldn't tell you the whole story here and spoil it for you but here are a few points to excite you to watch it! The new characters introduced in this sequel is nicely thought out. The villain, which is Lord Shen, a peacock has got an interesting background story tied to Master Po. Did I mention freaking cool kung fu too?",9 "I accidentally watched the first episode and was amazed by the story and the actors - so got the novel and read it in a few days. The book was surprisingly disappointing, though historically accurate, somehow did not enjoy at all. The TV series went on and found the storyline exciting and intense, the writers did a great job!!! Lot better than the book itself.",9 "Crime family saga is a cinematic sub-genre with more or less established conventions (mainly thanks to Godfather films) and it does not present comforable terrain to come up with original ideas. Anurag Kashyap and his crew securely overcome such obstacles and create a distinguished amalgam of particularism and universalism. The entire story is set in a very restricted locality (in and around Wasseypur and Dhanbad, except brief Varanasi sequences) and in specific periods of time but the themes it handles are thorougly universal in both time and space. It may be argued that violence is aestheticized to an adamant degree but it is for granted that it is never gratuitous. Each depiction of violence has its own merit in progression of the story.",9 I am a die hard fan of BB he is my favourite youtuber off all time.watching him since 2016. But as a web series this is below average. There are very less stroy. BB can complete this whole web series in his one youtube video. And maximum comedy scenes are cringe. Not like regular youtube video of bb where is comedy punches are more humourous and funny. I was expecting more from this web series as per BB said this is his dream project. Overrall I am very dissapointed after watching this.,5 "Massive and wonderful film, an example of how a superhero film should be made. Engaging and exciting, it tackles common problems in an amazing way and takes human feelings to very high levels.",10 """Dunkirk"" is an action, drama movie in which we watch the evacuation of Allied soldiers from Belgium, the British Empire and France who are surrounded by the German Army in Dunkirk in France, during the Battle of France in World War II. In this movie we can observe the agony of the soldiers as they wait for the ships to come and pick them up. In general I liked this movie because of the plot and because of what represents. I also liked the music of it because it made you feel that you are in this movie with all those soldiers. The interpretations of Fionn Whitehead who played as Tommy and Aneurin Barnard who played as Gibson were very good. Another good interpretation was made by Mark Rylance who played as Mr. Dawson. To be honest I expected more from Tom Hardy and I believe that Christopher Nolan didn't use him as mush as he could. In addition to this I have to admit that at some points in the movie I was let down due to the luck of interest or action. To sum up I have to say that ""Dunkirk"" is a nice movie to watch, you can learn and see some things from the perspective of these soldiers but don't have high standards. I was feeling all the time that something extraordinary will happen and I was disappointed by the ending. Nevertheless I still recommend this movie to everybody.",7 "Superb editing. Almost looks like a one-shot movie. Deserved at least a nomination in the Editing category at the Oscars. Roger Deakins' fascinating cinematography is a perfect treat for the eyes. Before the Oscars 2020 ceremony a large number of people was saying this film would win Best Picture. Well, in my opinion, this film is nowhere near to 'Parasite' in terms of story, score, direction and screenplay.",7 "The show is a sad demonstration on how not to create a successor of Game of Thrones. The show had everything it needed to become something magical: great actors, amazing source material, stories that can captivate and are relevant to us today. This potential was sadly wasted, mainly due to exeptionally bad writing and character development. Just two examples to explain my argument: 1. Gerald being the hero, literally all the time, knowing the best possible outcome and way forward, which makes him pretty boring and stagnant. I thing that the showrunners wanted to give this hero stereotyp to the fans, to make them like the show, demonstrating their misunderstanding of why Gerald is loved by fans. It's rather his searching and his learning to navigate a complex and grey world, learning from his mistakes which makes him relatable, which opens up the world of the witcher in its maturity, mirroring a complex and mature world we live in as human beings in complex societies. In the show one thing he never does is doing something wrong, he is always the hero and the worst thing he always knows and does the right thing removing all ambiguity since everything that goes wrong, is the fault of the ""stupid"" people around him. In that regard he becomes the worst possible main charakter to open up a world of ambiguity. 2. Yennefer losing her powers reducing a strong-willed and intelligent woman to just another damsel in distress that needs to be rescued by Gerald, by both his bodily strengh but also his moralcompass, which, weirdly, also goes contrary against empowerment ideals of the showrunners. In the source material you'll find a much more nuanced relationship between those charakters, in which Yennefer is the one, leading and Gerald the one following, because he is not a particular smart guy that has all the answers and learns throughout his journeys. This dynamic is repeated througout the show with most charakters being butchered and reduced to sad stereotypes, in order to develop a plot that is significantly weaker than the one that is developed in the source material. I believe this is the main reason why the show received such a backlash from fans that know what a great story this could have been. Even for stories around empowerment and race the show is doing a disservice to viewers, because these stories are not integrated into the plot in a believeable, interesting or relatable way - look example 2. A show like ""The last of us"" demonstrates how it's done much better.",1 "How to chuck themes for a lot of good movies into one and get one terrible one. Ok so, Matrix movies, James Bond, Superman, Spiderman etc, plus political crap, this is the result. Walked out half way through, so perhaps it got better. So maybe a bit unfair.",2 "It took me a while well actually it took me forever to get around and watch this movie and I'm a bit disappointing...that I didn't watch this sooner. The story to Predestination is about a order to ensure his law enforcement career for all time, a temporal agent must navigate an intricate set of time-travel journeys. But his final assignment pits him against the one man who has eluded him in all times - but to protect his future, he will finally have to stop him. The reason why I didn't get around to seeing this is because I didn't know nothing about it and I have seen different reviews by critics and YouTube Reviewers that didn't make sound anything that interesting so I didn't bother with it. When I was on the plane to New Zealand for a holiday you get those little TV's in front of you that can play TV shows and movies and guest what was playing, yep this movie so I just thought ""F**k it"" and checked it out since it was a long flight and never again will I put a movie to the side, because Predestination is not just good it's freaking great. The directors of the movie Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig who did the 2010 film Day Breakers which by the way I thought was okay and in this movie the two directors did a great job telling a story with it's twist and turns and keeping my interest till the end. Ethan Hawke once again brings a great performance in this movie just like in every movie that he's in and in this one there's no difference. Sarah Snook to me is a unknown star, I haven't seen her in any other movies just this one and let me tell you that this actress needs to be in more stuff because Sarah Snook did an outstanding performance in this movie that most of the movie she carried it. Some people may have predicted the ending to the film but I didn't and I thought it was a really good twist, to those who disagree that's fine but remember it could have been a stupid twist like in some movies today that try to have edge to it's twist or it could have have been way to predictable. Just be grateful. Now for problems and these not a lot but if I have to be nick pick I would say that the movie should have started with Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook character at the bar talking to each other, because if you have seen the movie you know how the movie starts with the big action but as I said before I would have liked it if it started with Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook character at the bar. Besides that the movie overall is worth checking out. The writing was smart, the acting was all good and it may not get the attention that it deserves but it will one day.",6 "Im a massive fan of fantasy and the game. But for me, it never really hit the mark. Some very confusing time lines interwoven along with some poor scripts never really hooked me. I was left a little disappointed after so much anticipation.",7 "The film seemed to struggle what type of movie it wants to be from comedy, action or very much taking itself serious. The performance of venom is great definitely one of the most entertaining thing in the film, like most films there's the start the middle and then end and it felt like the middle was shortened down or even skipped over. Venom and eddies bond was very much glossed over and rushed, background story to venom is blah then eddies story arc is here, there and everywhere then all of a sudden no where and there it is again. Does a marvel/sony non spiderman world work um.... in a way yes and this film proved it but without Spider-Man there is no point in venom. I give it a 4 out of 10",4 "The jokes about the Japanese people saying lat pack and lip my stalkings were not funny at all. Nothing happened in the movie. Two bored Americans meet in Japan and have a little fun and they like each other. That's it. It was an average movie. It didn't deserve an Oscar for writing. The acting was great, the girl was very cute. But I never even moved from my seat through the whole thing. I didn't think it was bad, but it wasn't great. It could have been better if they got involved in the Japanese culture, not just make bad jokes about it. I don't understand why people like this movie so much. Maybe they have never been out of the United States",3 "This is my favorite mcu series so far, all about this was great, the plot, the characters, the special effects, and of course i love Kate Herron for making a great show about my favorite marvel character and obviously the bi representation. This show obviously could be better and I hope this for the next season.",9 "Yeah I am liking what I see I guess the atmosphere of witcher's world kingdoms politics magic is suiting me , and Netflix is amazing doing the right ambiance . Secondly the script is amazing and deep . I like the mystery and I hope for more and more mystery. One thing I have to say even though I am falling in love with this world , there are something in the ending ( s2 ) that feels not complete or not enough . And for Siri I think too much pressure for this character that seems to me like a Innocent child so idk if the actor can handle it.",6 "There is no story!! Boring 😣 I was realy looking forward to this film, but all I got was a Big dissapointment.",2 "Writing this after finishing the last episode, I can be happy and grateful this got made. 7/10 for something was lacking in in, hard to say what. It is not the story, for it was amazing. It was not for the casting for it was amazing. It was not for the meaning for it was great. It was not for the CGI for it was first class. It was not for the vibe for it was some of the best I have experienced. This was a truly worthy marvel series. Maybe if they had cut it 10% shorter I would have given it 10/10, maybe. There were some off scenes and off episodes but they were accompanied with greatness. Well done.",7 "The first 10 minutes set the scene with relatively unintelligible dialog, no clues as to plot, and uninspired scenery and cinematography. The plot, when it eventually appears, vaguely, about halfway through the movie, is weird, even for this die hard sci fi fan. The frenetic scenes, poor dialogs, unrelatable characters, truly ho hum cinematography and costumes and makeup and sounds, made this unbearable to watch. I watched 2/3 and then fell asleep. Only potential positive for me was lead actress acting but that was overwhelmed by the film. To be so highly rated I guess this movie contains some technical aspects that professional reviewers appreciated but to me as a viewer, the plot, dialog, costuming, scenery, and characters made it very unentertaining.",2 "Inception is a fine film, but it cannot match up to the hype. I am not going to explain much of the film here because it will ruin a plot built on surprises. Leo Caprio plays 'Cobb', a man possessed of a desire to return to the US to see his children, but is currently barred from the USA. God knows why he can't just move his kids to live with him in an altogether nicer country, but seemingly he can't. His passport to his dream is to enter the dreams of others and steal ideas, using some unexplained technology. Think Existenz, and you'll be on the right track, however Existenz did this a lot better IMO. Now, the cast is very good and Nolan conjures strong performances from every one of them. The cinematography is world class and where effects are used, they are striking and superb. But there's little emotional engagement with the characters, even the always brilliant DiCaprio fails to make us care for him. Add to this a flaky set of rules about the universe they inhabit, and it starts to get a little shaky. One gets the distinct feeling that Nolan changes and bends his own film architecture to suit the plot, rather than allowing the plot to flourish inside the film. He falls short of writing himself into a corner but nonetheless, this constant bending of the rules of the film prevents us from achieving total suspension of disbelief. On more than one occasion I was sat there thinking, ""that's all well and good but this latest statement contradicts earlier statements about such and such.."" I can't give anything away on the above, but you'll see it for yourself, I am sure of that. I'd like to watch the film again to clarify a few points but some rather rambling exposition early in the film puts me off a little. I am sure that'll change and this is certainly a film that'll reward repeat viewings. I thought that Shutter Island was a far more delicate and engaging treatment of similar subject matter, with a superb and decisive denouement, whereas Inception rests on a fair few clichés. Definitely superior to your typical Hollywood blockbuster but not the work of genius the Internet would have you believe it is.",7 "This show is top one of the best MCU series, along with WandaVision and Loki. The show has the audience captivated by the first episode i was we go thru the life of Steven Grant who suffers from D. I. D. The show gets pretty dark and at times very comdedic. I look foward for the coming episode and i jope that their will be more MoonKnight content.",8 "Forgive an old westerner for the iconoclasm of comparing a Chinese movie to a Japanese cultural phenomenon. I'm round-eyed, I can't help it. But this movie reminded me of the good old days, when I used to read ""Dragonball"" the Manga - before the same manga became overly stupid and boring and went too far with the whole ""there's always a stronger enemy"" thing. Back in the day, Dragonball was a quirky, funny, cartoony romp through martial arts. And so is this movie. It's a pleasure to watch. Just don't expect realism... the movie had a strange impact on me - it seemed predictable in retrospect, but it was nothing of the sort, while I was watching it. In fact, it effortlessly turned corners I didn't really see were there, all the while regularly introducing new interesting and colorful characters for our entertainment.",9 "Season 1 was fine, some questionable parts sure (Yen scene) understandable since it was only the pilot season. But season 2? With the budget and cast only to screw that all up in the writing, no respect for source material and the absolute garbage orgy scene? No excuses, fire the writer!",3 "This is another version of the movie Pianist. Black man instead of Jewish man, and violin instead of piano. In Pianist, the guy was just hiding through out the movie; in 12 Years Slave, the guy is just waiting for help instead. He waits and does whatever he is told to. He is taking no action, no fight for freedom and more than anything..no helping anyone. I really forced myself to watch the rest of the movie after the first 20-25 minutes. All of the scenes were unsurprising. Giving the Best Picture Oscar to this movie is like giving Peace Nobel to Bush. I think Hollywood will never give up awarding white-slave and Nazi-Jew movies. I wander if they will ever make Jew-Palestinian movie and award it! I have to admit one thing though: The end was very touching. I couldn't hold my tears. But it had to belong to another movie.",6 "Let me just tell you this: I love Spider-Man 2. Love it, love it, love it. I always have loved it, and undoubtedly always will. Now, let me tell you why I love it. First of all, it starts off with the characters already developed and established. This means no time is wasted in explaining who the people are. The introduction of how Peter Parker became Spider-Man has already been told, which gives the film the ability to begin at an already-quickened pace, which it definitely takes advantage of. From the minute the narrative starts, you as a viewer are automatically hooked. This movie does not fail to get your attention... unless you have really bad ADHD. Also added into this film that are missing in most superhero films: emotions. Tons and tons of emotions. Whether it be the ill-fated love between Peter and Mary Jane, the tense rivalry between Peter and Harry, or the saddened yet insightful words of Aunt May, this film gets right down into the hearts of the people who matter most. The movie doesn't overuse action or stunts; it uses them as a powerful compliment to the even more powerful storyline. Another point that must be observed is the pure awesomeness of the villain. Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus is, in my mind, the quintessential comic book super-villain now ever since I've seen this film. His performance is spectacular and the character is just wonderful. I mean, once you catch just a glimpse of Doc Oc and his four mechanical legs, that picture will stay in the back of your mind for at least two months, give or take. He's also a superb character because he has such a powerful story and strong personality, which is clearly illustrated before he becomes Doc Oc. The reason why I love him so much as a villain is because he is human, and he's not completely evil at heart. It's a clear example of how good, intelligent people can be driven away and turned into something they're not, but then also deals with the importance of redemption. I won't give away too much more, since the movie really is worth seeing. When viewed, in my mind, I can't find anything that a viewer would find wrong or out of place. It's a fun, light-hearted film with a strong message and deep emotional scenes. There's also great action and comedy throughout. The acting is terrific on everyone's part, from the lead role down to every little extra you find in an elevator or on an elevated train. Also, with a villain whom you can feel compassion for and a hero you can really connect with, this movie can be related to pretty much anyone's own life. The bottom line is... if you've had troubles in your life, you'll be able to connect with it. If you've ever been unsure of who you are or what you're supposed to be doing, you'll be able to connect with it. And if you've ever given up a dream to do what's right, you'll be able to connect with it. And if you haven't experienced any of those things, good for you. Watch the film for the fun of it. It's one hell of a ride. :)",10 What a waste of two hours. I stuck with it in the hope it would reach me. It didn't. The acting was superb. The movie was slow and boring. The black and white format did not help at all. This added to the depressive substance of the movie.,2 "Made it through 1-4 - Okay, mostly enjoyable. Ep.5 gave it some gravitas but was ultimately weird and needed more explanation (got the premise but no real understanding of some of the scenes and why a certain person was even there) ... but what on earth happened in the last 15 minutes of episode 6?",3 "Literally had to stop watching after 5 minutes. reports on tv about mass suicide epidemic, with more than 10 000 cases recorded in a very short time...the ""hero"" brushes the report ""-well, it's all the way in Russia"" and proceeds with normal jokes and small talk with her friend like nothing really happens. totally unrelatable and disconnecting scenario. how can i go through two more hours off this? i usually give a chance to a movie, but this is ridiculous.",1 "When you find you are 15 minutes in and wanting to check your phone you realise that this hasn't grabbed you - and it will continue like that for a long time. The two actors go through a range of emotions with little credibility but it all feels false and the storyline is a pretentious take on a familiar scenario. Nothing grabs. Nothing really interesting happens. And it is all made annoying by a soundtrack of cacophony which prevents any real tension building up in what should feel like a claustrophobic environment.",3 "This series is crap, marvel is dead get use to it DCEU destroy this universe",1 "Time after time, you have have to watch some good old movies to keep your memories refreshed, My Sassy Girl is one of the best example to show how a good romantic story has to be told. I would say, watch it to keep yourself young for some time.",8 "Hello my review will be short. I really enjoyed the tv show yet i really disliked Henry Cavill, Freya Allan and Anya Charlota as Yennefer in their roles. Playing all three games, watching poor version of Witcher from my country Poland and reading books I must truly say I dont know how they received their roles. I dont mind their acting Henry Cavill was great in Superman and Mission Impossible but he isn't the Geralt I wanted to see. If u dont agree with me plz find picture of Grazyna Wolszczak Playing as Yennefer in 2001 then maybe you will know what Im talking about . Anya Charlota is very beautiful girl but thinking about the Yennefer I would like to see woman like Grazyna Wolszczak playing that role. Moreover seeing small black boy in forest or afro-american Knight from Cintra is crazly ridiculous. The rest i really enjoyed",8 "I haven't read the book, so I can do no comparisons in that regard. Here's what I can say about this movie: the visual effects were quite good. Not realistic, but that was not the goal. On the contrary, their goal was establishing a virtual-world with an aesthetic comparable to modern games, such as Overwatch and the like. However, this seems to be the only redeeming quality of the movie. The romance was forced, the story was uninteresting and not compelling, the characters were largely underdeveloped, the exposition was lazy, and the humor mostly fell flat. The writing was an afterthought, and the movie tried and failed to make up for this with its impressive graphic effects. Seeing the high reviews and Spielberg's name on this film gave me high hopes, but overall, this film was a disappointment and a waste of two hours.",2 "Stick around! The series gets exponentially better. Episode 1 wasn't very important (or fun), but I'm glad I watched the trailer and stayed with it. Lots of MCU pieces come together.",7 "Disclaimer: I've not played the game.... ever. With that in mind Must start by saying the very first episode was grand, frenetic, dramatic, full packed with action... VERY promising! And I'm not saying that what came after is bad, because it isn't, but it lacks. Above all it lacks the sense of continuity, failing to delver the time scale and ""mileage"" the character faced and travelled through. It becomes very ""episodic"", with no sense of progress, an anthology of small stories within a bigger story arc, built to cater to a cause or another. Technically it's very well executed, and the actors deliver very professionally. Nothing to fault (quite the contrary). It´s the pace and the Episodic nature that really struck a nerve with me. The last episode, for instance, was seen in under 5 minutes... Her background story could have been brilliantly displayed there, but at this point I just couldn't entertain the idea of spending 45+ minutes of flashback just to reach the conclusion of the episode where it mattered.",7 After defeating so many heroes then also the director thought it's not enough.,1 "So another phycological m night type apocalyptic paranoid setting..the end. Its not quite skyline or mist its a bit quiet place with a dash of ??pointlessness, and take what you want from it cause its definately not scary or psychological, as a matter of fact its very mediocre other than some good acting from malkovic & bullock as always, that aside its all been done before & done alot better!",4 The washed-up Tarantino hasn't made a good movie in over 20 years. It's time to hang it up. This was just the nail in the coffin of his career. At least it should be.,2 "I dont know why, by i kind of enjoy every simple scene of coen brothers movies. and this one was the "" coen "" y'est movie of them!",10 "seeing this movie (just recently) for the first time has shaken my faith in the academy, the critics and filmgoers everywhere. is this the film that won THE OSCAR for BEST FILM of 2001? come on, people! were you on something? i found ""a beautiful mind"" to be so inept and irredeemably stupid, that had i attended a test screening, i'd have recommended the studio shelf the movie, let alone submit it for consideration. ""akiva goldsman writes a serious script"". the very thought seemed like a joke. but after the oscars and the critical and popular success, i assumed i was just wrong about him; maybe he really was a real writer. maybe the man who brought us the god-awful ""lost in space"" and ""batman returns"" (which featured the legendarily witty salvo, ""hi freeze, i'm batman"") was just making a living, waiting for his masterpiece to be produced? but all hopes were dashed in the first two minutes. this material is aimed at 6 year olds! how can people have serious debates over a movie where characters talk in nothing but expositions, literary quotes, lame jokes and regurgitated cliches? where mathematics, presumably a central theme, is shown as something incomprehensible that eggheads doodle? with a saturday morning cartoon villain/antagonist who taunts our hero about his failures, only to be mocked when he finally succeeds? where a govt. agent's briefing on soviet espionage consists of showing nash (and the audience) stock footage of a-bomb explosions, and nash's explanation of the meaning of a secret russian code meets the reply, ""thanks for all your help mr. nash, so-and-so will show you out""? in many ways, this movie is just as bad, if not worse, than any fictionalized biopic ever made in hollywood. would you believe you could still see, in the 21st century, a new movie where an actor in exaggerated old-age makeup accepts the nobel prize for economics with a speech about how the real meaning of life can be found ""in the equations of love""?! give me a break! one moment contained as good an unintentional laugh as any in goldsman's old turkeys. in the early stages, a man in the m.i.t. library gets a tribute from colleagues; each places his pen on the man's table. nash ""asks"" what this means and receives the explanation, along with us. when the obvious payoff to this scene arrives at a later stage, and nash receives the same tribute himself, the mushy string-music moment stretches on for a minute or two, and then nash actually says, almost directly into the camera: ""how totally unexpected"". how totally ridiculous! dreamworks continues to be a studio that makes only 3 kinds of films: calculated, soulless, test-marketed attempts to make a big box office; calculated, soulless, test-marketed attempts to win oscars, and, thereafter, a big box office; and spielberg films. it's the only time i can think of that a movie studio only contributed to cultural decline, without a single contribution (and yes, i do include ""american beauty"" and ""saving private ryan"" in that statement. haven't seen ""perdition"" yet, but i'm sure it's still accurate.) i hope nash's story will actually, one day, be made into a good movie, not a laughable ham-fest with rehashed sixth sense silliness.",2 "It's a very good film, very well shot. In my opinion, not nearly worse than the first part, which was just fine. If you haven't watched the first one, it would be better to watch it first, because then the plot of the second will be revealed to you to a greater extent. The second part of Venom seemed too short to me, it looks like a breath, but due to the fact that tension is maintained throughout the film and it is very dynamic, this is not a minus. I also liked the reference to Spider-Man at the end of the movie. I recommend everyone to watch the perfect movie to watch in some short evening, because the movie is less than two hours long. Watch this movie and you will understand how great it is.",10 "Captain America Rocks. Its everything a good superhero movie should be. When you leave the theater after watching the movie you will be craving for more & that's its true victory. I expected movie to be good and decent but it exceeded my expectation many folds.I used to think Captain America is just another good guy and 'human' how could he compete with the likes of Hulk Spiderman iron man etc. but boy o boy did the movie prove me wrong or what. It turned out to be a brilliant movie much much better than I anticipated it to be. CA:Winter soldier delivers as much fun as the Avengers did (if not more) and that's saying a lot. All in all this movie delivers a bang for your buck. Story is mostly linear thus easy to understand .Script is like a roller coaster ride, moving at a brisk pace , as soon as you settle down you are drawn into the world of lies & deceit. The multi layered character keeps you guessing whose side they are on till the very last moment. Rarely do we have an element of surprise & mystery in a superhero movie & that's where this movie delivers its knockout punch. It's a bit of James bond & MI thrown into a Batman movie but it never feels clumsy. Off late superhero movies are moving towards a different genre, these are not juvenile movies anymore (thanks to Chris Nolan who started the trend with Batman Begins). Chris Evans played the part brilliantly you don't see any hesitation which was slightly observed in Part-1 (& in Avengers too). Here hes in full form & gets going immediately. You get a feeling that he belongs to the stage & is completely at home here. Among other characters be it Fury, Black widow or Alexander pierce every one has played out its role extremely well. I thought Samuel Jackson was a revelation & is guaranteed to blow you away & so is Scarlette. Captain Americas 1x1 duels with winter soldier are a treat to watch. Action & special effects ( including 3Ds) are fantastic , as good as they can be. With this movie now there is no doubt that Captain America belongs to the top league of superheroes. Chris Nolan- Beware we have a new kid on the block ,",9 """Black Panther"" is the first Big Budget and Ensemble Cast Black Superhero/Comic Movie made in history. Despite all that was put into the production of this film, all audiences get is yet another Typical, Very Generic, and Over the top Cliched Superhero/Comic movie that has been shown and told hundreds of times before. Despite the movie's extreme lack of originality, there is some entertainment to enjoy here. The World of the movie is not only good looking and interesting but very Sophisticated, the most ever seen in the Superhero film genre. There is a lot of ""Eye-Candy"" to see throughout the movie but it cannot cover up the lack of storytelling and ""Amateurish"" acting from a good cast of acting talent. From Costume design, to certain set pieces, make-up, etc. are well done, but are often ruined and spoiled due to Poor and Weak Visual effects work. If your expecting a Great Visual Effect Superhero Movie Spectacle prepare to be disappointed here. The CGI is very noticeable and often times characters and objects look like Cartoons. In addition, the choreography in the action and fight scenes are slow and obvious, looking like actors in Theater Rehearsals waiting for their cues. Furthermore, The performances are good, Chadwick Boseman and Letitia Wright stand out the most overall, including the acting chemistry between the two of them. The weakest and worst of the bunch are Micheal B. Jordan and Martin Freeman as both their characters were not only generic, but extremely Dull. Martin Freeman's ""Everett K. Ross"" was meaningless, had no real purpose to be involved in the narrative at all, and add Michael B. Jordan's ""Killmonger"" to the List of Forgettable Villains, which has become a consistent trend in Marvel Studio movies over the recent years. Others such as Forest Whitaker and Andy Serkis's characters perform well with what they were working with, but both have limited screen time to help really benefit the film's narrative at all. Finally, ""Black Panther"" is a Comic/Superhero movie that stays true to it's guns from beginning to end. It doesn't deviate from it's tone and story arc unlock most Marvel Studios movies always do. On a personal note, it's good to finally get another Marvel Studios movie that focuses on it's Title Character instead of a Superhero movie that follows multiple characters and story arcs at the same time that are pointless with no meaning to the Main Title's Protagonist. Overall, ""Black Panther"" may be another forgettable Superhero Movie, but it is a decent addition to the Comic Book Superhero Genre, including to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.",3 "The cast should have polish and russian actors, this casting is completely absurd and disrespectful this series is a complete mess, since the plot and writing are ""based"" so loosely on the books that you wonder why they name it ""the witcher""? In the second season, Henry's character who is the PROTAGONIST (or at least should be) is completely sabotaged, he is left aside to give the girl a spotlight The witcher it's just a generic fantasy that should never have been linked to Sapkowski's works.",1 "And well-deserved! Although I have mixed feelings about the Marvel / Disney TV shows overall, I was onboard with WandaVision and the performances of Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany (not to mention the creativity of the writers) really made that show special. Fun show, heartfelt performances.",9 How can you make a review by watching couple of episodes. Watch the whole show and then write review.,8 "I have to admit that I didn't really want to watch this film back in 2007/2008. I remember my brother saying I should watch it and the title of the film didn't really intrigue me but i thought i would give it a go, and glad I did. The film plot is very simple, and some could sat stupid or silly, but i feel this film is good because the plot is simple. I personally have to be in the right mood to watch a film that requires a good amount of concentration and lots of questioning. A simple story is often good. The films jokes are kind of like"" Teen humor"", but it it done in a way that is funny to all. I also enjoy the fact that they rip into the police/cops, and he mclovin scene in the shop is my favorite scene in the whole of the film. watch it you wont be disappointed.",10 "Modern Family is a documentary style sitcom that follows the lives of a family. There's a reason why this show and it's actors/actresses won so many awards over the years...because it's hilarious! The cast (Ed O'Neill, Ty Burrell, Sofia Vergara, Eric Stonestreet, Julie Bowen, Ariel Winter, Sarah Hyland, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, among others) is one of the best overall casts in sitcom history. There's really not a weak link among them, they're all pretty much equally funny! Of course everyone has their favorites and some are a little better than others but not by much. It's a testament to the writing and the actors that you're favorite character will probably change several times throughout the series.",8 "E.T meets Goonies and Resident Evil with Nostalgic Tron overtone. Horror combined with Telepathy - it's all going on. Short and simple - some series can over-do it with episodes but this was kept nice and simple. Not for kids -unless you want them to have nightmares Action starts from beginning so it's not a slow burner. Hope you guys enjoy it. Lights turned off and volume turned up ;) Winona Ryder and the little girls acting is brilliant. I have to write an extra line in order to have this review posted but wanted to keep it short and simple.",8 One of the lengthiest yet most engaging movie. You will love the way fight stretching over 3 Generations.,10 "I feel like I am the only person that thought this movie was very average and lackluster. Being an A24 film, it's stylish, with great cinematography and overall good acting. But I thought most of the characters were unlikable and the story felt hollow. It felt like it was taking bits and pieces from other horror movies that it thought would work to formulate another good horror movie. The practical effects are excellent and I always appreciate the use of less CGI which helps ground any film in more realism. The movie also tries to have a deeper message and metaphors, but these also fall apart with the story telling. By the end it felt forgettable. I wanted to like it but sadly it's a dud for me.",4 "Well, just one line.. don't waste your money. Not worth it. It just too much publicity that is paid reviews!! SRK could have done better, if he did not take the support of religion so much. He bought the media and tried to fool the public. But that does not work. I guess public is getting smarter now. SRK - Please stop doing cheap publicity and take support of religion.. If you want to, then do something different, then making another ""Me Too"" product.. And now this would not let me publish it, as I need to add more lines!! :) But seriously, If I SRK was trying to compete with Aamir Khan, then he is no way close to him. Aamir has always been the best and will remain innovative. Aamir does not take support of the religion based cheap publicity and buy media.",1 "Unwatchable. Looks like a no-content pop video, but it lasts for 130 minutes... No atmosphere. No music. No character development. i would REALLY prefer to watch the care-bears from 1990 for excitement. i counted 27 different cameras edited into in 7 seconds in a small section in the middle where i decided to count the focal time spent on scenes. The average scene in this movie is probably about 0.6 second long, with a small few scenes lasting more than 5 seconds, and about 100000 scenes that last 0.1 seconds long. It was abominable from a human standpoint. how much information do people exchange when they are interacting for 1 second at a time and then cutting to console-game animations. The special effects were not amazing at all. I have only contempt for this cinematic style. Clearly you have to have been playing sonic the hedgehog and watching super-fast cartoons since the age of 2 years old, ALL DAY, to have a concentration that disrupted so that you can make sense of this movie. I am sorry that i trusted IMDb reviews on this. I could write a these on how bad it is and how similar no scenery, no acting, no scenes, no music, frenzy, frenetic, zoom-around, no focal time, shaking, zooming, nauseating camera work with bad special effects, are wasting good Hollywood budgets and resources. I would say that i twitched, recoiled, was perplexed.",2 Average comedy can't say it was even strong in jokes. Made me laugh like once but basically nothing special,5 "Unusual dark comedy where many unwanted things, desires and disasters are fragmented through some truly talented actors of Bollywood. Four characters are struggling in four different story yet connected in some aspects. Sometimes it feels like confusing but brilliant transaction among each story makes this movie so enjoyable.Worth watching",9 "There was nothing to this movie. It did not have much going for it and all in all nothing much really happened. It felt like an unfinished storyboard where things just happen with no rhyme or reason for them. Nothing really progresses the story line. Venom tries too hard to be both a hardcore gory movie and a family movie at the same time. The result is just a mess. The movie reminds me way way too much of SPawn from the 90s. Even the graphics are similar. In fact, spawn might have been better looking. And their powers are way too similar. And Spawn had more gore...lol",5 Whoever's writing the dialogue for these marvel movies needs to stop. Im not a pro but something about how all the characters speak is so predictable and generic that i could only make it 5 minutes in. I really like all the marvel movies and its so disappointing how annoying all these shows are. I hope the writer never makes the cross over to the marvel movies. :/ all these shows could have been great.,1 "Bollywood has been going through some tough times during 2017 starting from Salman Khan's disaster dilemma to Varun Dhawan's cheesy acting. Luckily some films during the year created some satisfaction such as Baahubali 2 and Mom. So the story revolves around a 14 year old named Insia who resides in a suburban city that goes by the name of Vadodara which is in Gujarat. Insia's dream was to pursue a career in singing and her mother is highly supportive of Insia's decision to become a singer but her abusive and cold- hearted father invades her comfort zone which results in her dreams being crushed. So Insia decides to secretly pursue signing by posting a video and uses a burqa to hide her identity so her father don't find out. The video goes viral and it catches the attention of a failing and dim-witted Casanova music director Shakti Kumar. With the help of her mother and Kumar, how Insia manages to pursue her dream and what happens afterwards is basically what this film is about. Honestly, the teaser and trailer made me more excited for Aamir Khan but watching this movie made me realize that Aamir Khan wasn't the only important factor in the film. I loved this movie for how it was and how it looked. Advait Chandan deserves a bow because this debut filmmaker managed to master the craft of producing a screenplay that kept all the emotional factors in its place which also kept the audience engaged throughout the 143 minutes of the film. The acting in the movie was phenomenal. Zaira Wasim steals the show completely. Her acting had a clear justification to never fear anyone before pursuing a dream and her Dangal mentality managed to cover that. Meher Vij was nice and heartwarming as the mother for Zaira. Luckily in my opinion, she was not bad in Bajrangi Bhaijaan where she did the role of the little girl's mother but in this movie she manages to execute the mother role according to our expectations. Despite Aamir Khan's role only appearing half of the film, he still managed to act like the same khan who we all adore a lot. His flirty and sleazy humor managed to ma laugh a lot of times. Raj Arjun's first attempt as an abusive father figure kept the film smooth. The music was nice but I felt some tracks had weak compositions and Amit Trivedi has done it in some films like Qaidi Band and Shaandaar. Lyrics were fantastically produced by Kaiser Munir. Anil Mehta's cinematography keeps the script of the integral and consistent. Overall, I loved this movie. 1) Beautifully written and directed. 2) Well performed 3) Nice Camera work Enjoy your Diwali with this film at a theater near you. Golmaal Again will surpass the box office for this film. Secret superstar should fall into the 50-75 crore range. But just rely on the film more than the box office. 3.75/4- Bollywood's most proper flick",8 "After watching the movie I was stunned ! What a movie ! You can't ask anything better than this. But yeah the movie somehow loses it's peak after the interval but catches the attention very soon. you can't blink . Shah rukh khan acted superbly. The best in years. It is going to be a blockbuster. After a couple of bad film SRK offers his best. As we all know the movie is based on a FAN of SRK. One of the best thriller movie of bollywood. And the movie just saying other actors , I am here on business baby ! Now the huge fans of SRK will expect better film from him . His film Raees which will be released on this EID. ""FAN"" is approx to earn around 200 crores. But jungle book is giving Fan a tight fight. But as a fan and movie craze I believe this film can overcome or fight any film in bollywood. So just watch the film . It's worth of the ticket price . Best of luck",8 """Barbie"" is a movie that is setting all sorts of records, so it's obvious that the film is touching many people. For some, it's the fun of seeing a doll come to life, for others it's the theme of empowerment that make the movie a big hit. As for me, I did like it and thought it was a pretty good movie...but it's not for everyone. The first 2/3 of the film are simply fun and a visual delight. Seeing all the Barbie's in Barbieland was a joy. It also was very nice seeing Barbie enter the real world and interact with all the unfamiliar aspects of it. As for the final third, for me, this is what hurt the film a bit...at least for some viewers. Why? Well, I loved its message of female empowerment but I also felt it was delivered like a sledgehammer. Instead of talking about it and getting on with the plot, the movie bogged down for me and seemed to keep making the same point repeatedly. Subtle, it was not. On the other hand, who am I to complain...I did like the movie and am glad it had a nice feminist bent. Obviously this worked for many women seeing the film. Overall, a very good movie that slowed to a crawl towards the end. Not bad...but a film I wanted to like more than I actually did.",7 "How can the same formula be followed and achieve something so much worse than the original. Just watch the original a second time and save yourself the pain..: Terrible acting. Too long. Crappy CGI. Poor cinematography. Silly homage to covid masks. Terrible script. Ending that makes no sense at all. All the hallmarks of a Netflix made for streaming flick. Just don't waste your Two Hours and Twenty Minutes on this NetFlix trash. Literally everything wrong with modern film making distilled into a pointless sequel. Please try to invest the talents of artists in something useful and stop generating content just because it needs to fill a slot on a streaming service.",2 "As a life long fan of the original Captain Marvel, I was very disappointed in this movie. Instead of basing it on the golden age Fawcett comics, and the epic contemporary material by artist Alex Ross, it was based on Geoff Johns' misfire reboot. The end result is part ""Big"" and part ""Superhero Movie"" with a dose of ""ABC Afterschool Special"". David Sandberg's direction is schizophrenic with a very pedestrian tone and very bad CGI. Zachary Levi is spastic, guilty of over acting, and incapable of handling the few serious scenes. Mark Strong is miscast as Dr. Sivana, giving a dull performance to a character that is watered down into a generic magic based bad guy. The only bright spots are Asher Angel and Jack Dylan Grazer, who both give great performances with the material they are given. Skip this one, especially if you expect a golden age Captain Marvel movie.",2 "This movie tries to be something mysterious but fails miserably. It became a trend in last few years in Hollywood to make movies with no story, meaning. The lighthouse takes this to next level. Everything is left unexplained and open ended. This will bore you to death. There is no way it deserves any praise. This is the kind of movie that makes me wish there is option to give negative rating to movie. It deserves less than zero. Don't waste your time on this pile of garbage.",2 "I found the early episodes quite enthralling. They weren't quite as good as the Game of Thrones scripts and screenplay, but the story was building nicely and subsequent episodes progressed well on a solid theme. However I began to lose interest and found myself not hanging on every episode release or paying as much attention to the developments, conversations and twists of fate that unfolded as my viewing progressed. Eight episodes in and its clear there are some serious shortcomings in this production, not in quality of the visuals mind, more in the writing and direction. At times I'm left confused, not because I missed some nuance, or detail escaped me due to the fast paced scenes or depth of detail that occasionally happened in Game of Thrones, but because somethings are just portrayed confusingly or unclearly. There is treachery and deceit and to some extent mild depravity, but this is a far cry from the complexly perceived and executed skulduggery that Game of Thrones entwined so exceptionally into its plot and script. The sharpness of tongue and the clever delivery is missing here and it comes across as a half decent knock-off of the real thing. I found the skipping ahead half a dozen years particularly problematic, not just with the story progression but with the character depiction. Characters like Rhaenyra Targaryen have been very well established and having them portrayed by a new actor does the series and injustice. This isn't a case of changing from a child actor to an adult after they have grown up, which is generally acceptable. This is an young woman in this case Milly Alcock, being substituted for a slightly older one Emma D'Arcy, who grates against the characterisation already set, particularly as she doesn't handle the role as well. This cast change happens with some of the roles while others maintain the original casting which makes things even more incongruous. As you would expect, the series is a cinematic masterpiece, but the direction is also questionable in some places. The screen play and script are the major problems, and I don't think I'm being overly critical when I say the general level of enjoyment has steadily declined. The effervescence of enthusiasm, excitement and eagerness for the next instalment is absent in a way that sadly contrasts my experience with Game of Thrones. I laboured through episode eight's slow boring story with gritted teeth and slowly escalating restlessness that culminated in a strange wave of relief as the credits rolled. Needless to say, I think its the last episode I'm going to suffer, as it's quite simply become a chore to watch. I don't want to make this solely about a comparison between the two series, but in truth Game of Thrones set an incredibly high standard which this series is finding impossible to match. Look its OK generally, but the steady decline in watchability is impossible to ignore and it needs some competent writing to bring it out the the stables of mediocrity where it is comfortably nestled at the moment. I can see the viewership seriously declining if more effort isn't made into making the story more compelling. Give it a watch, as I said before its decent enough to begin with, but I can't in all honesty even give it a solid thumbs up based on entertainment value.",5 "Daniel Day-Lewis's performance gets most of the attention here, which is just as well because the performance is the movie, whatever other characters appear being merely cyphers. Like the movie it superficially looks like art, on closer inspection it dissolves into facial and vocal mannerisms devoid of life. Long at two and a half hours, but feeling much longer, this is an arid and joyless experience - possibly the most po-faced film since the widescreen epics of the late 1950's. The film has no clear message, if as it appears to be that greed corrosive to the soul it simply doesn't work because Plainview is corroded from the start. As it goes on the film manages to get more and more ludicrous, the final scenes being hilarious in ways not envisaged by the makers. The hysterical response to this melodrama is a timely reminder of the gullibility of critics and that certain kind of viewer who (X-Files like) wants to believe that cinema is better now than ever before.",4 "I don't know about you but I like my super hero's to be tough and macho. Not emotional and sensitive. This one one of the first of a new style of film. The Dra-Action film. Drama / Action flick. The best of both worlds. Something for the men and women. The men get the fast action(not much action) they like, while the women get the getting in touch with your feelings side. Everyone this side of the North Pole loved this movie. Even Roger Ebert put it on his top 10 list of 2004. I just don't get it. It was rather boring to me. The only thing missing was Dr. Phil telling Spidy to open his heart. I must say that the special effects were much better in this film then Spider-Man 1. I give it a 4 out of 10.",4 I love the family in peril genre. There is not enough out there,8 "I feel like DC comics made this version of The Tick. Amazon strayed too far from the origin material for fans. The humor is mostly gone from this COMEDIC setting. Arthur - Instead of a chubby accountant who dreams of being a superhero this Arthur is portrayed as a borderline mental patient who spends his days and nights obsessing over the death of his father and trying to prove that the super-villain known as the Terror is alive... The Terror, for the small amount of time we see him, is actually well portrayed. The Tick is well he's bad. The costume is crappy looking, no where near the right look, and the character seems far less dense than he should be. One of the endearing things about the Tick was his childlike innocence and constant confusion. His lines aren't bad but there is something out of place about his speech patterns. He looks and sounds less like a hero and more like a guy who talks to streetlamps while wearing tinfoil on his head. Then there is Arthur's suit. Gone is the white spandex and wings that barely let him fly, the new version is a high tech, bullet-proof gizmo suit. I cringed when I saw that Ben Edlund's name appeared under the writing credits.",6 Bla Bla Bla there is no story ... no action .. very stupid scenario and bad acting ..,1 "What a shame. The script is really poor. Too violent (it's just not believable and clearly written to shock) the sex is unnecessary and underscores the clunky 'oppressed women' theme, and the dialogue is dire. I'm surprised they don't use patriarchy in some places. It's basically a cat fight between two queens. Always good to make the women the centre of the show eh? The men are largely supporting actors playing unlikable idiots, although some do it better than others. None of the actors have a royal air (remember Charles Dance in GoT?) they just play characters. The casting really let's this show down. Having said that Matt Smith is awesome, and Rhys Ilfans is pretty good too. The sets, costumes and locations are great, but that's not enough. What a shame.",6 If I could erase this film from my memory that would be great. I am going to go with avengers ending after infinity war. I'm not sure why people are worried about spoilers as the same thing happens in every movie. If you haven't seen the film yet think of the stupidest thing you could imagine then try and complicate it by banging on for 3 hours and it will be pretty close to this absolute trash of a film.,2 "This film really reminded me of the Addams Family, and I was looking forward to it after seeing clips of Addams Family Wednesday from Tiktok. It was therefore a little bit unexpected that Wednesday could not read minds like she seemed to in other movie clips. However, I think that Jenna Ortega did a fantastic job acting as Wednesday with her straight facial expressions and attitudes. I also really enjoyed the plot twists. The plot of this film left me constantly second-guessing who the culprit was though the well buildup of suspense in each character. One thing did not sit too well with me was the dark humor of this film. I personally thought it was a bit too punny, and it really reminded me of the dad jokes. Overall, I enjoyed watchin this film, and I have to admit that I sometimes laughed at the punny, morbid jokes.",8 "So today I went to see this movie because I am a big fan of X-men franchise, and, plus, this movie got 8.8 rating in IMDb and 94% in Rotten Tomatoes. I was super excited!!! 2 Hours later. GIVE ME MY FREAKIN MONEY BACK. I think Fox has a way to manipulate IMDb rating and Rotten tomatoes. This movie cannot get anything more than a 6!! It is slow, and boring. I love well wrote drama and in-depth superhero movie, but THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. There are so many plot holes. There are so many things left unexplained. IF YOU WANNA MAKE A LAST WOLVERINE MOVIE YOU NEED A REALLY GOOD EXPLANATION WHY IT HAPPENED. The only good thing is the little acting skills, and violence (which is unnecessary, if you do not have a good plot) In short, don't waste your money in the theater. Wait for a torrent or DVD and watch on your boring night at home.",5 "I love her! She was perfect in this role of a woman who dies repeatedly during her own birthday party. I loved her look and her chutzpah, when I've always been repelled by her before. I will say she looks way older than her birthday in the story suggests, but Natasha and the surrounding characters all seem very authentic to both New York and to the story. Also, the short episodes make it so easy to watch. I've been recommending this show like crazy!",8 Watched 2 minutes couldn't stand anymore What The hell is this all about,1 A must watch movie with right ingredients keeping everyone cling on to the screen. Flabbergasted plot gives us feeling of suspense from start to end. The script is of extreme high quality stock with added barbaric fight scenes. The direction has taken breathaway. Kaithi is the best release of 2019.,9 "I've been avoiding MCU films, as they've been directed lately by those that gave us the travesty that is ""You, Me & Dupree"",... but this one is by Sam Raimi, so it should be a standout, & possibly another one of his masterpieces, right? WRONG!!! This is basically another random piece in the endless jigsaw puzzle that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, meaning that, unless you have a photographic memory for the infinite storylines & characters in the series, you might as well not bother. As with most of the entries in this franchise, I felt completely lost & disinterested. I don't go to these films wanting to be disappointed, but they constantly let me down, because they are not made for fans of good cinema, but for indiscriminate buffs of MCU lore. Also, Benedict Cumberbatch does not suit an American accent.",4 "Saw Zodiac this past weekend and was bored out of my mind. The movie is a lethargic mess. Lots of scenes go nowhere and lots of characters go nowhere. Here's how I would rate the movie against other David Fincher titles: Se7en = 10... Fightclub = 9... The Game = 7.... Panic Room = 6.75... Zodiac = 2 ... Alien 3 = 1.5. I can't believe all the people who are rating Zodiac with 9's and 10's. Do they honestly believe Zodiac is as good or better than Se7en or Fightclub? My girlfriend and I didn't like the movie at all. I could understand if people were rating this movie in the Panic Room/ Game range of 6 to 7. I wouldn't agree with them at all but at least I could see it as a difference of opinion. But rating this as one of the greatest movies of all time... come on, we are doing movie goers a disservice by over inflating our ratings. People should be skeptical. The average movie goer will find this movie slow, disjointed and cold.",2 The first season is amazing. But then they decided to do a second and a third one. Huge mistake. The second season was still alright but the third one is just annoying. It seams the same over and over. Nothing really new.,2 "This was highly recommended to me by many people,i also saw the high rating on here so decided to give it a go. Well what can i say except boring,boring,boring. Every episode is mostly more of the same. This plus the fact the two leading characters were anything but normal. Most young folk dont go round being morbidly sad all the time like these two. They didnt even seem happy when they were having sex. And on that subject the sex scenes were far to frequent just adding to the overall feeling of boredom. I feel that this is a case of the emperors new clothers,so my advice to anyone that hasen't seen it dont be fooled and give it a wide berth.",4 "Throughout the film there are some cinematically beautiful scenes, and a clear style throughout. A personal story from the director adds to the films emotion and story. However I couldn't help feeling that something was missing. The handful of inaccuracies were not a major issue for me, as opposed to some of the other more critical reviews on here. The film started to take a ""Revenant"" turn from approximately 30 mins in, whereby we saw the main character running from place to place avoiding death and pulling through terrible experiences but started to feel overly dramatised at times. The acting didn't come across real to me, and although there are certainly some stand-out performances, overall it did feel like watching actors rather than an original, heartfelt performance that the director intended. We did see the visuals of the horrors of World War one but overall it lacked some of the grit to add the depth and emphasis to make this truely poignant with the viewers. I wanted to love this film but something was certainly missing for me and it would not be justified to pretend otherwise!",7 "Ok, so yes, I did think that certain key moments of the movie lacked enough emotional depth, but overall I thought it was great! The CGI was the best I've ever seen! And if they had added too much emotion, it would've taken away from the realism of the animals. This new version is different from the original in how real EVERYTHING is. Not as powerful as the original, but still amazing to watch.",4 "Battled to understand a word Bradley Cooper and Sam Elliott said, the constant mumbling drove me to distraction, give Ga Ga her dues she was ok.",2 "Every episode every character every moment in the show was out of this world . Character devolopment. The devolopment of events . Musics . Graphics. Appa and Momo ** The best animation show in history , still ...",10 "I really wasnt interested in this at all, saw the trailer and wasnt impressed. Finally I had nothinh better to do so I thought, why not watch an episode and it wasnt to bad and I actually feel that its better now than in the beginning.",8 "It felt like it was just getting started, and then it was over. I really hope they can add a couple more episodes to season 3 because 8 just isn't enough for a show like this.",8 "OK, so I wasn't one of the people that flocked to see this movie right away, but I saw the hype it received on here so I thought I'd check it out. Let me just say, I really don't understand the big deal surrounding this movie. Maybe for some comic book fans, or people who are into the whole superhero genre, this may be your thing, but to me, this movie was better than average, but nothing amazing. This movie did have a few clever moments, some of the scenes and laughs were cheesy funny, but reading some comments on the message board about this movie being hilarious, I really didn't think so. The fight scenes were OK, the train scene was probably the best scene in the movie, and the interaction with the people on the train was more of a classic movie moment than the scenes with MJ and the Aunt. SM 2 also seemed slow at times. I understand that character development is a major part in this movie, so that this can be at least a trilogy, but the first movie was a little more fun throughout. There were numerous times myself along with people i noticed around me, yawning and looking around in a few spots in the movie. I just don't see how this movie can't be ranked so high on the IMDb board.... Especially above Oscar winning classics like Gladiator, among countless others. Lets be real, I know this genre has a lot of supporters just like the LOTR series, but a good movie is a good movie, and frankly.... this isn't one.......not really close",5 "I have watched this twice and still can't explain it. The premise is old..... eccentric millionaire (ok billionaire nowadays) owns a remote property and invites people over to do a mock murder mystery....that gets solved easily and then the real murders happen but hats where it all gets wishy washy and silly. The twin of murdered daughter and a guy has an allergy to pineapple are the main twists and it's just daft. Not a patch on the first film and a shame this is linked to it. I can't say the acting was bad but how the producers secured Norton and Craig to this is beyond me other than Norton does have a tendancy to get involved with some pretty mediocre projects. Unsure how the critics are so full of this as it is desperate, old, out dated and at times just dumb....and that all lies with the producers who have placed style in front of substance in an effort to show some sort of cleverness......it hasn't worked!!",3 "Grandiose handling of a simple premise through the sci-fi medium... Interstellar zips along at a fair pace considering the amount of dialogue and musings of its characters. Dealing with themes of human survivability, altruism and abandonment with engaging photography and ethereal (if sometimes overbearing) sound-scape's the plot is revealed at a comfortably digestible rate. The special effects are both beautiful yet functional, perfectly measured to the tonal quality of the scenery and sound. In short they are ""believeable"" and lend a credibility to the storytelling beyond that of its Hollywood peers. While many will be intrigued by claims of its intellectual superiority to other science fiction movies, they will be a little disappointed by this rarely challenging retelling of a dystopian earth and the remaining residents search for a new home. Having a Director that is held in such high regard seems to have elevated Interstellar beyond its counterparts through that virtue alone which is somewhat unfortunate given that an audience, oblivious to his previous work, would still enjoy this movie in good measure. That being said, while it may well represent ""the science fiction movie of the year"" I'm left wondering if in 10 years it will be looked upon as the sci-fi movie of the decade...something only ""Time"" will tell...",7 Great action. But this was the most scattered film I have ever watched!!! Every scene was all over the place! Really disappointed.,2 "The idea of the series is great BUT it's ridiculous to think that not one kid has a good and healthy relationship with an adult, no parent it's aware of anything, no uncle, older sibling, school counselor or teacher...",4 "I thought the characters ruined the movie. Their dumb grunting and mean mugging, acting like they were all hard and superior just made me cringe. I found it watchable, but I wouldnt say entertaining, cause I couldnt stand the ridiculous acting. Besides Chadwick. He's the only one I liked.",3 "Could have been better Tooooooo much CGI, What happened to using real props? Why is the movie sooooo expensive if everything was done with a computer?",2 "I was really disappointed with this movie. The incredible recognition that it always gets moved me to give it a chance, even if I knew that the plot was quite depressing and has been showed in similar ways by many other movies. And this is by far one of the worst of the type. It is so badly presented, and so poorly finished, that it makes Bronson's plain urban avengers and Eastwood's lust for violence real masterpieces. De Niro's acting is the only part that can be saved. Even Cybill Shepherd is unable to raise the overall bitter taste of this ultra-hyped movie If you haven't seen this yet, save yourself some time for something useful",2 "I thought 1917 had a lot going for it: good acting, amazing cinematography, and a good story. The issue was that there wasnt much story within the story. You have the two main characters, and you do get into the mission at hand; however, there wasnt much going on other than a constant following of them moving to get from point A to point B. I do not see how people are putting this on a level of say Saving Private Ryan. That movie had so much more going on, including way more characters, better screenplay, and an equally good if not better storyline. I rated this a 7, and I think it should settle between 7-7.5.",7 "The film ""Forrest Gump  is about a simple man's journey through complicated times. Forrest is played with the grace of a tightrope walker by Tom Hanks. He (Gump) is mildly retarded; he has an IQ of 75 at the movie's start and stays pretty much on that level all the way through. His trove of facts increases, but his basic methodology of handling the world never changes. As a boy, with braces on his legs, he peers at life and expects little more than to be heard and acknowledged, and the first person aside from his doting mother to do that with him is his lifelong love, Jenny (Robin Wright). Then one day the braces come off, more or less by accident, and Forrest discovers he can run like hell. He couples that with advice from Jenny (that the best thing to do when you're in trouble is just run) and this becomes the big asset that gets him through college on a football scholarship. And the one thing that gets him through Vietnam, allowing him to save most of his platoon and receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. Although he rescues his platoon leader (Gary Sinise), the man has nothing but rancor and bitterness, since he lost his legs, while Gump only got shot in the rear. After Vietnam, Gump goes on to be the captain of a shrimp boat, a Ping-Pong champion, a multi-millionaire, and a cross-country runner. The sly thing about the movie is the way he just sort of backs into everything, doing what comes naturally, and is even happy when nothing happens. All he wants out of life is the love of a woman, even.",1 "The Godfather supremacy has been broken by the Ring. The Godfather is a wonderful film, but it is not the best trilogy ever, at least not anymore. Let me give you a hint why the trilogy of Lord of the Rings is better than the Godfather trilogy. Godfather part III a big time loser!!! You don't even have to be a fanatic filmgoer to see and realize that. The movie was clumsy and boring to a point that it was almost clear to me that Coppola wanted desperately to make his trilogy without having a clue of what he was doing. That reminds me of another 80'ties character called George Lucas (see Star Wars-saga). Maybe Coppola was trying to take the quote from Alfred Hitchcock a bit too literally, when he said that style in film is to plagiarise yourself. Godfather III is a recollection of scenes we saw before in a different outfit, adding some cheap cosa nostra crap that did not work, like the fake set-up scene with the helicopter. This is the moment where by unbelievable coincidence the Godfather and Sonny's son came out without a scratch. This is not the same kind of realism I saw in I and II. While Return of the King is the climatic moment of the trilogy, Godfather III was its lowpoint. This is Hollywood wanting to sell tickets the cheap way, betting on a sure thing. And what about the story? What is it? Financial corruption at the Vatican? It is nothing more than an expensive soap-opera. So what if he did it the traditional way. He should of realized that he had no good story. It is not because the actors from the Godfather trilogy received Oscars for their performances and probably LOTR not is because the actors from the first trilogy did a better job than the others. It has nothing to do with it. The whole show is not about rewarding talent, but to uphold a tradition of celebrating those who are loyal to the spirit of Hollywood. LOTR has but conformed to one tradition, the one from Middle-Earth, in a galaxy far far from Hollywood. Let's not forget however to point out that Coppola is responsible for putting his daughter in the film who given us a stunning insight in how bad acting can be. Fortunately for her she has proven, she is much better off directing films. Even Pacino doesn't bring a good performance. While in Godfather II he brought us a believable and likeable anti-hero, while in part III he doesn't do anything else than shouting. There are unforgettable scenes in the Godfather trilogy. But so there are far better scenes in LOTR, and probably in a way future generations will get inspired in how to make a sensible symbiosis between technique and story, in the same spirit of Hitchcock and Welles, who both were neglected by The Academy of Motion Pictures. If you talk about memorable scenes, look at how Peter Jackson brought us Gollem. It brakes again new boundaries for visual effects and surpasses even the matrix by far. Phantasy has never been that real since ever. And the examples could go on and on. Part III doesn't bring anything new, while LOTR innovate at every turn. LOTR is not the typical Hollywood film. In fact, it is not a Hollywood film at all. But It is a pure refreshing experience and a great motivation for a lot of young filmmakers.",3 "I was expecting to hate it but I thought at least with all these millions and millions of people over praising it but alas it's worse than any movie made before it. Literally. Utter trash from the first second with indescribably unlikable characters. The beginning is a silly child's movie only to just turn deadly dull when it reaches the real World. I gave up before reaching the halfway point and just FF to the end to see how this dreadful, celluloid abomination would end but had to give up again before doing that. How anyone could see this once let alone several times has left me flabbergasted and flummoxed to the nth degree. I didn't even crack a smile once. As awful as anything can be. The title for worst movie ever made is completely cemented in my mind.",1 "The weird thing is that they seem to present this as some autobiographical narrative. But then you realize it's all fictional and fantasy of sorts. Here i am sitting invested in the character going, wow, how did this girl overcome and accomplish so much, and it keeps expanding and detailing her personal and for some odd reason, her sexual life, applying more fantasy and whatever else needed to get the viewer invested. But it's a made up character. Lol so dumb.",4 "The first word in Science Fiction is Science, this spits in the very face of science! Total crap.",1 "I really am not sure if there own red tape had backed them into this corner. But it's 0-3 so far and what makes it worse is build up of excitement created by all shows creativity and set up but all ultimately failing in the execution when it mattered most.. I remember the feeling of huge anticipation at the mid point of Wanda and then the Same with Falcon.... So far it feels like all the same again with Disney/mcu... I really really hope I eat my words... At this point(episode 2) it feels like this incredibly talented writing team who have been publicly known as being the ""brains behind Rick and Morty"" ect are writing a script for animation and Rick rather then Loki and MCU.. Let's just hope they prove us wrong starting next week.",6 it didn't reach the expectations.. but must see movie. i don't know why Mani sir gave that kind of climax. except the climax everything seems to be just great. maniratnam didn't make abhishek to act in the climax. it clearly shows that he didn't have the faith in him. but some of the locations were superb. cinematography is eye catching. mithun chakravarty suited the role perfectly. at the end abhishek justifies that he has done all the illegal things for the sake of the people. but he never did it for them. some where the director failed to deliver. the story never convince you that why GURU bhai has been letoff in the end.,7 The unfunny takes on old sitcoms takes a bit away from the cool parts of the general MCU plot that is now evolving.,6 Pankaj Tripathi is main lead as he is playing the dice. He is one who is connecting each of 4 colours alltogether.,10 "I seriously don't understand these reviews! My children loved this show. I love this show. My kids have been glued to it since the 1st episode. We just finished the last episode tonight and all in unison they grumbled and groaned ""NOW we're going to have to wait forever until season 2."" I haven't seen this reaction from them since they found out last year that Stranger Things wasn't coming back on until 2019! This show has beautiful visual effects, its funny with a bit of cheesy but funny dialogue, it has a stupid/surprisingly smart & frustrating villan, and has sweet family & community interactions. Watch this show! We need more shows like this one, shows that the whole family can sit and enjoy together! So what if the science is a little off, its entertainment. My family knows where to go to get answers to our science questions...FYI it's not going to be a show on Netflix.",9 "The first 2 seasons weren't much fun, but season 3 is a mess. Bad acting, stale dialogue and a shallow story, that should easily fit into a 80ties cartridge for the Nintendo Entertainment System. What I really dislike about Stranger Things is the fake 80ties nostalgia, which absolutely fails to create any convincing reality: every color is super bright, everything is super clean and freshly washed, like there haven't been dust and dirt in this decade. The car seem to wash themselves while being used. ST reproduces some kind of Meta-80ties, focusing only on Mainstream Mass Culture and ignoring the fact, that there has been many highly diverse subcultures. And why doesn't any kid have a computer? I grew up in Germany, I got my first in 79 and during the 80ties nearly all the boys in my area owned a Commodore, Atari or Sinclair. If you want a more realistic show about the 80tie, go and watch ""Halt and Catch Fire"". Edit: After watching Season 4 I have to add, that I misjudged the whole show. I'm an adult and the show isn't made for people older than 14.",1 "Good action and good characters and good plot, but when I see the movie I only see a piece of action poorly prepared montages, it is a tangled movie that only stands out for the action, it looks like transformers with those scenes, is also one of the worst villains in truth an exasperating movie that you only enjoy in action scenes and everything else is not worth it, do not see it.",4 "The movie is shot in beautiful locations across India. The acting, direction and music get full marks.But the movie is stretched in the second half which makes the audience loose interest. This movie is another example where you feel you are watching one of the best movies in your entire life but somehow the second half makes it almost un-watchable.",5 "HBO should fire everyone involved in this production except for the drones pilot and the hairdressers. The storyline...you know when you re-write an email so many times you don't even know what it means anymore? Anyone who approved it must have been temporarily occupying the wrong office. The cast: forget it, there are no possible explanations, maybe two-three out of all actors physical appearance support their characters, unfortunately neither of them can act. What else? Nothing much, I don't think there was a director involved. Some nice SGI buy certainly not enough to save a haphazard collection of scenes from being irrelevant.",3 "It's a realistic (definitely not all parts are real) and simple story revolving around a small rural village. As a engineer and being a rural boy, i also can relate myself with such stories. Most of the stories, scenes(except that ghost story) are true and happen in rural India. It looks like Abhishek(Jeetu bhai) have found his love on water tank. If i consider the reality, no girl go to the top of water tank in such rural village. Hope 2nd season will not around their love story. Our expectation from TVF is huge and hope it will be more interesting in 2nd season. Those who can make series like Pitchers, Kota Factory, Tripling etc, they can definitely make series better than this 1st season of Panchayat. I am not saying that it's a bad series; it's better series than most of the Hindi series, but not as good as we expect from TVF. Each and every actors is flawless, excelent. Jeetendra kumar(abhishek tripathi),husband of pradhan(raghuvir yadav) are genuine and nice as usual. New faces like Chandan roy(vikas) and Faisal(assistant pradhan) are simply awesome. I like the acting of Faisal(assistant pradhan).May be noone will say about his acting but how small has his role, he is funny and genuine. I think he was in Gangs of Wasseypur as a funny police constable. He should have more role in industry.",7 "I hear all these people saying 'Oh BeSt MarVel MoVie!' which is obviously wrong. (Iron Man 2008 and The Avengers 2012 are both far better) and other people saying 'NoT a SuPer HerO mOviE, SpY Movie' because it makes them feel less stupid and childish for liking this boring trash. It's like the people that think they're mad film geniuses because they 'understand the genius' of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (Terrible title) directed by Hack Snyder. This movie is average at best, not great, but not amazing. Ps. Anyone that says the MCU is better than the DCEU, or the DCEU is better than the MCU, can shut it. They're both the same, and they can both cower at the might of The Dark Knight Trilogy and Netflix's Daredevil. Shut up",6 "When you went to see the first Iron Man movie what were you expecting? Thats right, Guns, Women and Explosions and lots of them and that's precisely what you got. Now that the second movie is out I have heard many people complain that it is rubbish and not as good as the old one and I ask myself ""What film did they go and see?"" Because when I saw the new Iron Man I loved it. I don't mean in a ""film of all time"" kinda way, I mean in a ""seat gripping adrenalin"" kind of way. It has all the essential elements of the previous movie with the addition of Scarlett Johansson which, in my books, is a very welcome one. Now this isn't the first time that I have heard people say this about a film which leads me to thinking that there is a sub-culture of people whose MO is to immediately dislike a sequel. Granted, in most case the sequels are never as good as the original but when you are considering movies like Iron Man you can't maintain too high an expectation or you will always be disappointed. With this movie I think they did good. To conclude, the long and the short of the movie is this, starts off where the last finished, starts going out of control, chaos, nearly dies, avengers do their bit, new suit, big fight, the end. Walk out into the sun, look up dazed and go ""Mental, I want that suit"" Have a beer.",7 "Loved this series, it was a great insight into how it really would be if superhero's did walk the earth.... Really great characters in both the superhero set and the boys. If you enjoy things like dead pool and umbrella academy then this should be on your list. No spoilers here - just watch and enjoy!",9 "It s a joke after another joke. No pathos. No Drama. I m a diehard fan from comics, and they kill all my dreams and expectations. It was impossibile to fail the movie after the masterpiece of IW...but Disney is Disney: they must follow specific political choiches without really caring about it (race and sexual politics), and it s all a mess. What a miss opportunity...",3 "visually this movie was amazing. The little raccoon guy and groot looked very real and i laughed a few times. It was interesting for the movie score they used of all these 1970s-ish funk tunes when the guy put his Walkman on. BUT............We get a ""Star"" studded cast of C and D list actors/actresses oh and Vin diesel we're in for a treat he should go back to racing cars in the fast and the furious franchise. Sure Tom Cruise or someone every drooling idiot knows has to be in a movie to be good. BUT It's too long the story is the same old crap year after year as if we're renting our movie tickets. Seriously why not be the bad guy and destroy a galaxy or two and watch him slaughter a bunch of people and focus on that. I wouldn't give this movie past a 4 star. It doesn't deserve the current 8.9 though. 5 is watchable and if it wasn't for who I went with I would have walked out. I barely watch TV so this is an honest without any brainwashing hype review.",3 "Try to endure 3 episodes. I think it's time to drop this one. Not really my cup of coffee. If you enjoy these 3 episodes, please continue. If you watched it expecting a different turn, better wait until it does, then binge it.",8 Such a beautiful journey from beginning to the end...the plot was extremely perfect..and I felt myself connecting to the story..left me in tears in many part..what a movie!!! Hats off!! Totally appreciable..the songs are also very nice..I really hope that other people also find themselves connecting to message this movie is trying to convey..At some parts I felt like I should own a pet and shower him the infinite love...the dog was so professionalised in her acting skills that it made me fall in love with her...I wished I could have her as my pet..what a relatable movie..I would want everyone to watch this.,10 "Raatchasan - as the name indicates is a movie about serial killer. It was a good plot and a fresh content for Tamil cinema. Yet, the screenplay was weak at certain areas. The antagonist character was crafted perfectly but the protagonist seemed very unrealistic and melodramatic. But it sure is a watchable movie",6 "A superhero movie dedicated to funny and fun kids. I found the last scene too long and unreasonable. At some point in the movie there were logic errors. Visual effects were very good. The dialogue was very successful. And there were a few details we didn't see in most superhero movies. Acting was a success. Script can handle. The average superhero movie. ⭐ 100/64",6 "The movie is okay it's better than half of the horror movies out there but the movie is boring for someone who doesn't scare easy and enjoys extremely horrific movies. The story line is pretty generic and the movie tick marks most of the normal horror substances like kids,haunted house,doll,disfigured human,mysterious home owner.",4 "We liked the show but......it was so dark in many scenes. We have a 65 inch TV, and couldn't make out half of the show as the detail was so dark. Anyone with a smaller screen would never be able to watch this. We've seen a few shows lately that have so many really dark scenes, why do they make the scenes so dark that it's impossible to see, it's completely counter-productive. We watched begrudgingly to the end because we enjoyed the premise, but almost gave up many times. The acting was good, the premise was good. Too bad. It could have been a much better production. So don't try to watch this on a small TV, computer or phone; you'll be very disappointed.",5 """The Godfather: Part II"" hit theatres a couple of years after the first film and made history by becoming the first sequel to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Today, it is routinely listed alongside the original as one of the best American films of all time. The story picks up a few years after the end of the first film. Michael is firmly established as the head of the family and has moved to Nevada where he is edging the family towards legitimacy. However, when he is beset by betrayals he systematically sets about dealing with the betrayers mercilessly. There is also a second story thread (told in flashback) that traces the early years of Vito Corleone and his introduction to mob life. The film clocks in at a hefty 200 minutes. Unlike the first film, though, I couldn't really get caught up in either of the parallel stories so the film seemed to drag quite a bit. I didn't find the Vito storyline particularly compelling and the Michael storyline is little more than a convoluted extension of part one. These stories were meant to be compared but I don't feel that the director or the editor really constructed the film optimally for this purpose. Nevertheless, the film still has a classic scene or two, though it's nowhere near as consistent as the first film. Most of the actors whose characters survived the first film reprised their roles here. Returnees Al Pacino & Talia Shire each landed Oscar nominations and so did newcomers Michael V. Gazzo & Lee Strasberg. However, the only actor to take home an Oscar statuette was Robert De Niro for his portrayal of the young Vito Corleone. Personally, I think that Pacino gave the best performance of the film. Francis Ford Coppola won an Oscar for his direction but I feel that the first film was a better effort. From a visual standpoint the film is attractive, though, and the Nino Rota score was justly rewarded with an Oscar. Ultimately, I don't feel that ""The Godfather: Part II"" lives up to its pedigree. I've watched it a few times, so I'd say that I've given it a fair shake. That being said, I realize that I'm in the vast minority here so it must be a personal thing. As far as I'm concerned, ""Chinatown"" deserves the Best Picture Oscar that went to this film.",7 "Pay per view. Tried to watch it and then just couldn't look at the screen so here I am listening to the movie and occasionally looking up at the television. Why doesn't the camera work have any steady shots. I don't look at things when I am walking or looking at things by zooming in and out or not staying steady on a person/object. I honestly will say if I saw this movie in a theater I would have had to leave since I don't think its necessary that I get seasick while watching a movie. Amazing in reviewing this movie the entire theme of my review is: the camera work. It is so incredibly distracting that it over powers ability to watch the movie with a few exceptions where the camera isn't shaking/zooming/focusing.",2 I watched the series when it first came out and I like it a decent bit back then. Watched season 2 and It was alright but the whole season felt very stretched out. Season 3 was so boring that you could arguably show it to a newborn baby in order to get it to sleep. Perchance. The creators could have done a way better job at continuing the story and It just feels like parts of it were written before the whole story was planned out. The show is very forgettable and Un-interesting after season 1. The creators had the perfect set-up that they evidently built up to in season 2 but they just didn't take advantage of it. The only good parts beyond season 2 was Nr.5's interactions with other characters.,5 The whole movie is Chris Hemsworth shooting hundreds of people and running away. There was no dialogue or character development whatsoever. I expected way more,1 If you have seen the previous Spider Man then don't waste your time watching this Spider Man. It was very childish not just compared to the Sam Raimi Spider Man but just on its own to. The Spider Man is basically the same story as the previous first Spider Man with minimal changes. From my understanding Sony was set to produce Spider Man 4 with the old cast and crew returning. Sam Raimi wanted an extended release date for the film so he could get it right but Sony was set against it. Sony wanted the cash cow franchise to rake in cash early. Sam Raimi felt he would not finish in time so Sony and the director parted ways. Sony released The Amazing Spider Man on the sole intent of making money. The fans interests were last priority to them. No franchise should be rebooted that fast. When comparing the Marc Webb Spider Man and the Sami Raimi Spidr Man the Sam Raimi take was much more mature. Remember...both Spider Man takes are both modern day takes and had big budgets and access to great special effects. Thus it comes down to who could direct the better movie. Sam Raimi wins by a long shot. Tobey Maguire portrayed a much more realistic nerd than Andrew Garfield. The Sam Raimi Spider Man had bigger and more entertaining set pieces. Last is the special effects and cgi. Marc Webb's movie looked way to fake. You could tell the burning cars were fake and the Lizard character looked to cartoonish. The smoke bombs the Lizard released looked like some out of a video game.,4 "Steven Spielberg has made this movie by basing the main character off of himself and from what I've read, it's pretty much the real story of his childhood and his family. This is a good movie. I mean it's nice to learn more about one of my favourite filmmakers. Steven Spielberg is one of the best directors out there and he's proven it again and again. And if this was a movie he really wanted to make, obviously I'm all for it. But if I forget for a second that this movie is about Spielberg, and made by Spielberg himself, there isn't really much beneath the surface. I'm a bit disappointed from this movie. From the title ""The Fabelmans"" I should have known that this movie is going to be a drama about Spielberg's family, rather than an origin story about Spielberg himself. The family drama though was what I disliked about this movie. I mean it's fine for sure, but the actions of certain characters are very confusing at times. And really, the drama doesn't have much of a connection with Spielberg's filmmaking journey, which was running on the side as a sub-plot. And the slow pace of certain scenes, and thus the long length of the entire movie didn't make much sense to me either. I tried thinking a lot about what could be the meaning behind it but I couldn't really get it. Everything about Spielberg making films as a child though was perfect. As someone who loves filmmaking, I loved seeing his passion for movies. I loved seeing him figure out how to create certain scenes, and how to bring heart and realism to those scenes. There's an entire scene where he's shooting a war movie, and then he's explaining the actor, exactly what emotion he wants to portray in this scene, I loved that entire sequence. Overall I thought it was okay. I went with my friends and they liked it, so my thoughts could change a bit on a rewatch.",7 "Sam Mendes has made a technically bravura film which looks like one long take. Something he experimented with at the beginning of his James Bond movie, Spectre. Made by Dreamworks, the company's first shot for the Best Picture Oscar was Saving Private Ryan in 1998. The story is about two soldiers in World War One. Their mission is to make their way across no man's land, the abandoned German lines and reach the advancing Allied troops. They have to deliver a message ordering them not to attack as they are walking into a trap set by the Germans who want to give the impression that they are retreating. One of the soldiers has good reason to take this perilous mission. His brother is part of the Allied group and is in danger. Therefore the story owes a nod to Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan. Impressively photographed by Roger Deakins, it sets out to show the dirty horrors of trench warfare. The story though is slight and gets lost with the style of filmmaking that Mendes has employed. I thought it lacked the verve of Peter Weir's Gallipoli, a film which I kept thinking off when I watched 1917. This might be the reason that although it went into the Oscars as a frontrunner, it lost out on the main prizes.",6 "Captain America is back and this time he is mixed in the modern world of terror. He is the ultimate good guy who embodies the American values in an age where American has changed. A good action packed movie and Scarlett Johansson is more than mere eye candy in this film, she plays a good black widow in Natasha. Samuel Jackson really grasp the character as the head of the secret security force. Some old enemies in the Russians pop up but the Cap is ready to take them on with some good ole American know how. This is a good movie if you suspend reality of the laws of gravity and are ready to see an epic battle between good and evil. Robert Redford does a good job and makes for a believable inside guy. This movie rocks!",10 "This show is SO formulaic, and EVERY ""twist"" can be seen a mile away. NONE of the characters (well, except for Zabel) was particularly engaging nor did I feel invested in them at all. Some of the acting was okay, but even Winslet who I normally enjoy, did not stand out in any way, and in fact, she seemed less fluid in this role than in any role since Titanic. To me, it was a complete waste of time to watch. Everything in this series has been done before, and done much better than this was.",3 "Continuity is aweful. The flashbacks disrupt, rather than build, the story. The acting is fine but the production is aweful. There's better ways to spend your time than this.",4 "Andy Sirkis is really good and the lead actor who plays black panther is also very good but man, the screenplay sucks. It's so boring. Also they may have been better off having an African director (not American) as it is cringe watching this almost racist depiction of what Americans think Africa should be like.",4 Only thing wrong with this show is that it has to end. 😭,10 "This is why I rarely watch mainstream movies today: it's because they are cartoonish versions of more serious movies. Like this movie, ""Jojo"", which portrays Berlin at the end of ww2 as a dreamy, romantic place - let me break it to you: it was not. Berlin at the end of ww2 was all in rubble, you couldn't find stone standing on another stone, and people were starving. There weren't any postcard-like streets where you can dance and dream. So you really have to wonder why don't people rather watch Rossellini's 1948 movie ""Germany Year Zero"" which is also about a boy in Berlin, although immediately after the war, facing grim reality of destroyed Berlin and whole German nation? And the answer is that that movie is too grim for today's audience, they need watered down and cartoony version of that movie - and that is very disturbing.",6 "A mostly incoherent mess, bewildered re high rating (should have read/trusted the neg user reviews). Dealing with the increasingly tiresome multi universe fantasy. Not much more than a bunch of over CGI'd action/fight scenes for who knows what purpose. 3rd act tries to bring together some semblance of story (or rationale for movie) of mother and daughter coming closer together, but there's no been reason to care or about the characters.",3 "Just the way Amar(Shahrukh's character) feels connected to Meghana in a moment, you will connect to this movie instantly. The movie is so intriguing that it keeps you thrilled throughout. Manisha Koirala stands out and shines like a true star. Her breathtaking beauty and strong emotions will make you fall in love with her The songs are pure gems, be it ""Chaiyya Chaiyya"", ""Aye Ajnabi"" , ""Jiya Jale"", ""Dil Se"" or ""Satrangi re"".(While writing this sentence I thought of writing only three song names but all of the songs are so marvellous that one can't stop mentioning them). Mine favourite is the haunting ""Aye Ajnabi"". The climax scene is going to be etched in your mind as it is very rare in Bollywood movies.",10 "Since it's based on a Stephen King novel, it should not come as a surprise that The Outsider has a good plot and with a hint of metaphysical phenomenons. The show opens with the death of a young boy in a town in Georgia. Eyewitness, DNA and all forensics point to a culprit. Except the detective in charge must deal with contradicting evidence that put that same suspect somewhere else in the country. The plot thickens very fast, moved substantially by amazing performances by Ben Mendelshon and Cynthia Erivo (very compelling character in Holly Gibney), with Jason Bateman drawing attention early on as well. It reminds me of the experience of watching True Detective. Great performances, beautiful cinematography and a very strong score. Everything works to build the suspense. If you have a chance to binge-watch it, it should be even more engaging. The paranormal side of it may put some people off, but so much emphasis is put on the character's own scepticism, that I find it does not bother me at all - plus it's standard in Stephen King's work.",8 "Sickeningly violent involving long sequences of Keanu Reeves shooting people in the face. Character sympathy is attempted by smashing the skull of his pet dog and placing it in front of his unconscious face as a wake up vision of loveliness. It is a sad indictment of the attitude of Hollywood producers these days that they pander to the most base instincts of it's audience, subliminally nurturing violent streaks in disaffected youth. Focus is placed on the heavy artillery and preparation for a killing spree. You couldn't find a better mainstream film to feed to disturbed teenagers on the cusp of walking into a school and shooting dead their fellow students. Oh, and the music will give you a headache.",2 "The best war movie I have seen recent times. I don't know about the actor Vicky Kaushal but I saw his acting in this movie it's absolutely terrific, he lived as a soldier. Director Adithya dhar his screenplay is the winner! hats off. Yami gautam and other actors did their role well. Highly recommended movie!",10 "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, should be a good movie, but the fact that the characters are too cartoonish and consequently these same characters become too unrealistic to be taken seriously. Of course Frances McDormand, did a good job as a violent mother. But Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson just did a nice job. Martin McDonagh is trying to impress the audience with fierce mannerisms, showing violence only by showing, and as a result he is trying to impress the male audience (audience is only interested in violence, instead of seeing a good story). In other words, the director was more interesting to create a movie full of violence, instead of creating a real drama with real characters and real and interesting conflicts, and an interesting film to see. So, in the end, this movie is your typical movie to please a certain group, in this case police haters (that is to say), many movies are in the top of the IMDb, only because in the same movies there are scenes in which the characters can deceive the police or there are scenes in which a large number of policemen are killed - the scene of the mother setting fire to the police station, in this film will be a future classic, in the minds of many people, mark my words. We are not going to fool ourselves, a large number of the population hate the police and rightly so, many policemen abuse their position. But traumatized idiots, instead of getting over the traumas, they come here to give big scores to films like these, just to satisfy the vengeful wishes they have against the police. If this is not enough, director Martin McDonagh only puts scenes of violence just to generate more violence, and with that these scenes become unnecessary violence scenes, scenes of the dentist and the mother hitting teenagers in the genital organs. A police officer throws a citizen from the window of a building, the police chief sees this and only fires him. Seriously. What's the point of director Martin McDonagh? To prove that anger generates more anger, or violence generates more violence. At least he could put it in a more discreet way without the need for violent scenes. The effect he made was the opposite, because scenes of gratuitous violence only generate more violence in the streets. Amateur. Even, the humor element becomes too obvious that borders the ridiculous, the scene in which a police officer, talks to the violent mother after the accident at the dentist. The scenes of black comedy border on the stupid and tasteless aspect and completely misplaced. The midget scene is completely misplaced too and overly obvious (putting a black comedy scene between before a dramatic scene, really!!). And of course, the annoying monologue of Frances McDormand's character with the deer, about reincarnation. Predictable and too obvious. Or dog-shaped slippers scene is obviously, also annoying to see. Not to mention that the movie script is full of ridiculous situations, bordering on the absurd. The mother in principle hates the police, because (stupid reason) is taking too long to find the culprit of rape and death of the daughter, then the mother becomes friends with a police officer, after she has seen that the same police officer (the same idiot, who throws a citizen from the window) risked his live to go get the paper process of the daughter in the back of the police station that was burning (fire put by the mother herself). Stupid and juvenile. This is the typical movie that ends where it started. In the end, the culprit of the crime was not caught, the mother is still violent (the mother was always violent, just see in the flashbacks, the discussions she had with her daughter) and she embarks on a journey to go hunting down a ""supposed"" rapist, with the police officer than threw the man out the window. Idiot, I know. I only give 2 stars, for the good performance of Frances McDormand, because she convinces me as a violent mother.",2 "I don't know what people didn't like in the third season but I was absolutely hooked. The story, acting, characters, suspense and the message are all well done. The scene where the Tyler guy shares his assault story with Clay is heartbreaking. Overall, even if there are loopholes in the story, the message makes it worth the time. I hope there is more.",9 "Wtf was this? Boring, too much dark devil things, bad bad movie. Don't waste time by seeing this. So weird and complicated. Classic Ironman, thor, avengers movies much much better.",3 "Falcon and The Winter Soldier (2021) After WandaVision, I had really low expectations for this series and it starred off just as badly as I expected. While Winter Soldier is at least slightly interesting with his programming and mysterious past, the Falcon is still an absolute joke. Both of them are tertiary heroes on the Marvel hierarchy so what made the creators think that anyone would want to watch an entire show about them? The first two episodes are borderline unwatchable as the protagonists mop about and preach ideas that ultimately amount to nothing while setting up the struggle that is hard to take seriously. Then things get kind of interesting. Zemo appears to save this miserable series as he instantly reenergizes the atmosphere with his charisma and impactful presence. As a result, the original characters stop being so pathetic and the plot goes from nonsense to somewhat watchable. However, my favorite part is this ""New Captain America"" who acts as a true capitalistic character in a capitalistic system. The machine needs a cog and no matter how sentimental or heartless it is, the memory of the old cog, Steve Rogers, will be forgotten. His cockiness, self-confidence and personal drive feel refreshing as he brings something new to Marvel. I wouldn't say you need to watch this series as it feels like a hollow cylinder stuffed with pretentiousness that acts as a filler without adding value to the big picture. From the protagonists and antagonists to the plot itself along with all the preaching, everything just feels so fake and soulless. They try to add substance and meaning to the plot but they overstuff it with political agenda and just can't seem to make it look authentic. If you got nothing to watch, then do check it out as there are some nice moments but in the end, its just another filler for the movies. Movies.shmovies on Instagram for more Tv Show and Movie reviews.",4 "It is a real shame that this film turned out the way it did, as from the outset it had so much potential. A cast of good A-grade actors and a semi-decent screenplay which was wasted by Steven Soderbergh's lack of vision and directing talent. The film tells the story of a group of people affected by an epidemic spreading across globe, but unlike other better films of this genre (like Outbreak and even The andromeda strain), it teases the viewer just enough to keep them interested yet never quite delivers. I have to admit I am no fan of Steven Soderbergh's films. I find as a director he lacks the vision to bring to film something special and instead concentrates far far too much on cinematography and how shots look, rather than telling a story in such a way as it becomes compelling. Honestly I don't think Steven Soderbergh has ever delivered a film which delivers, and yet again here is another. I wouldn't bother.",4 "This was a very fun, very engaging premise. I don't know if I'd call it groundbreaking, since it's a little derivative of Toy Story and Extra Guy, but this definitely works. The scenery and cast are great, and the movie bristles with energy. I just wish they kept this a little more light-hearted and a little less preachy. There are countless movies that lament victimhood and discrimination, and countless movies that showcase estranged parents and children magically reuniting through remarkable events. But how many great comedies are there these days? How about, for once, just keeping things light and entertaining? (The patriarchy? Seriously?) Regardless, I think most of the audience loved it, and I think most of the women wanted to stand up and cheer during the Mom's big speech. It's a visual feast with just enough laughs and a lot of star power, and you will probably be glad you went.",7 "The only real thing i liked about the movie was the 1917 uncut feel where it almost feels as if the entire movie was done in one shot. Scientifically inaccurate though, which bothered me more than it should have.",2 "I'm not a professional reviewer. For me, I enjoyed the acting in the film. I didn't see point to the story, didn't feel like benefited from seeing this film and felt it difficult to see through to the end. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a bad movie, I think the sound, the cinematography was all good and as said the acting. But the story, I guess I missed the point here.",4 World is going nuts. A few people out there still really know how to recognize a nice film. This is a hugely overrated one.,2 "Not so much action, Not so much comedy. Only a story. DRAMA. With all the hype I thought it was good, but believe me it's Boring.",2 "Look, this show is basically Xena/Hercules in more ways than one, but with a much less consistent and thoughtful narrative, coupled with very jarring jumps in the timeline that makes it really hard to follow and understand certain character choices, motivations and their overall development. Yet... I love it. It's fast food, but a very tasty one. The show is simply so much fun, it knows when to and when not to take itself seriously. Henry Cavill is amazing as Geralt and simply chews every scene he is in. Geralt's sidekick, Jaskier (played by Joey Batey) is also brilliant, he brings an incredible amount of energy and fun to every scene he is in. The show works the best when these two characters are on the screen together and they are the main reasons to watch The Witcher. The dynamics between these two characters/actors are simply fantastic, their friendly connection reminds me of some of the best movie duos, like Riggs and Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon. I definitely recommend watching The Witcher. While it's nowhere near as cleverly written in terms of story and characters as the really popular The Witcher III: The Wild Hunt video game, it manages to make up for it in certain ways and it's one of the most fun shows going on right now.",7 "Apparently $350m buys you a poor story, cardboard antagonists, super dumb protagonists, and a good/average 2022 effects. Rarely entertaining, never challenging, and wildly predictable, I can't imagine recommending anyone put their three hours into this. Seriously, how many times do we need to see the exact same bad choices happen, with the exact same results? Sixty-ninety minutes of this should have been left on the editing floor. I don't know what happened to James Cameron in the late 90s, but he hasn't been up to his standards since True Lies. Full disclosure, I thought pretty much the same thing about the first (except the effects were ahead of the curve, at the time).",3 How often do I watch a film based on its high IMDB rating and end up regretting it. Too many to remember. A Star is Born just never gets off the ground - it just witters on for 2 and a quarter hours I will not get back. Lady Gaga was good - would I feel have been excellent in a better film. It just didn't engage my wife or myself emotionally - we didn't care about any of the characters (note - LaLa land was similar in that respect.) I have seen 2 of the previous versions of this story ( 1954 and 1976) and both are superior - especially 1976. Not recommended!,2 "Great for kids 8 to 15, vizuals are ok CGI could have been much better... Story felt rushed and we are not Given enough time to believe the closeness between the children. All in all.... decent",6 "Finally found something, in which 10 star is really not enough. Gonna see it again with my wife in the next weekend.",10 "Geriatric mob opera... I think,it's just a reasonably ok ,farewell to iconic old-timer actors...nothing more... too long boring and self indulgent saga of regurgitated mob stories... nothin really there.. Sorry...",4 Great anime with entertainment plus knowledge. A new concept anime . Truly amazing . Watch it now,9 "I have nothing of substance to say, just like this movie. I let my friends talk me into watching this and now I have no friends. I do like ASMR and this did help me go to sleep, so it's get a 10/10 for that. As for watching it while awake...well I'll never know.",2 "Reviewing after watching part 1 of season 4, but I think this show hits a home run on Season 4. The people involved with making this show deserve a victory lap, and should be very happy with what they have accomplished. It has the hollywood magic most blockbuster tv and movies fail to achieve nowadays.",9 The boring plot of the story .. from so many good WWII movies. This film does not even close to the criteria of good film. Out of acceptance.,1 "High-fantasy, modern-day folklore. These fairytales manage to treat the vicissitudes of private and political life with more clarity than the common editorial, but without excessive moralism or illusions of benevolence from rulers.",8 I was really disappointed by how bad this show ended. They just ruined a lot of stuff and made so many illogical conclusions. I gave it a 6 because it was somewhere between 9 and 2.,6 "This is the third feature film of J. C. Chandor in as many years, after Margin Call and All Is Lost. My expectations were peaked, perhaps too much. Chandor shines a spotlight on people under serious stress, and we watch them sweat and deal with it. This seems to work best if the storyline aligns with personal experience, which need not be in the exact same arena. In A Most Violent Year we meet immigrant businessman, Abel Morales (Oscar Isaac). He is good looking, intelligent, well dressed, ambitious, and the owner of a successful heating oil company in NYC, one that may be crossing lines and under the scrutiny of authorities. He is married to the beautiful and street smart Anna (Jessica Chastain), who keeps the books, raises their perfect kids, and live the good life in a big house in the burbs. All seems well as Abel is about to purchase a large oil storage depot and grow his business big time. About to close the deal bad things start to happen. A home intruder with a gun, the hijacking of his trucks, and the mugging of a young sales associate. None of this ruffles the self-assured Morales. He continues to run on his wits and basic belief in himself, until the bank pulls out of the deal. Unless he can come up with the cash ($1,5M) in a week, all is lost. It looks bleak. Anna is now quite unhappy, most about what she sees as Abel's passivity, and offers the assistance of her mob connected father. Undaunted, but feeling disrespected by his wife, Abel is determined to find a way out, without compromising a set of values which have always worked for him. What happens then to Abel and his family is the substance of this movie. Chandor's storytelling and direction has a certain flair and originality that is quite refreshing, but it is a long way from Bergman. There is violence in the movie, but it is relatively low key, compared with others out there. This movie is basically all about watching Abel deal with his predicament. Some of it predictable, some not. If you like this kind of dramatic emphasis, you may enjoy the movie.",7 Idk what's so special about this cringey show. A total snoozefest.,1 "Masterclass for showrunning, storytelling, character cast and worldbuilding. Observational direction without a trace of ostentation. A great Kate Winslet. Probably one of the best projects ever made on its genre. A neo-noir police social ethography with elements of modern tragedy, to see it in one night. A great marriage of suspense and whodunnit.",8 "Ek shabd: GAZAB !!! I have been listening to the song ""Jiya ho Bihar ke Lala"" since its release. It is 2022 when I finally watched this movie. Finally, after watching the movie I realized how much much much more awesome this song really is. This movie is too awesome. I am thrilled beyond words. However, viewer's discretion is advised as the theme is too strong. Contains quite a lot of suggestive instances and has substantial gore. But if you can handle those things, then you are in for a feast of awesomeness.",10 Honestly was not expecting that much but after watching it I can say it was good but the story was more on the humans instead of the aliens to be honest but I liked the story alot so yah.,8 "If you liked 40 year old virgin, you probably loved Knocked Up. If you loved Knocked up you will be blown away by this film. I can't wait to see what is next. They keep getting better. what is crazy about this film is how I could relate to the characters. Yes it is exaggerated, but so is being a teenager. The laughs are intense and never stop. I actually found myself looking away because it hurt to laugh so much. But then again I wanted more. The ending was great. But I did not want it to end. This is an amazing film. Simply amazing! If you did not like 40 year old virgin or love Knocked up this may not be a film for you. That is very sad.",10 "Initially I was on season 2 and the series got so many laughs out of me. But starting with the end of season 4 all went downhill, the humor was forced and no longer funny. I recommend watching only the first 4 seasons. The one thing that I like but it's no deal breaker, there are no audience laughs, it really make a difference.",6 "Just loved the darker way this series goes with the kids getting older every season. For me this was the best season we got the answers about the gates to the other dimension. I love the story and how the 3 different story arcs goes together. Let's hope it gets even darker in the next season! If there was something to complain about then it was about splitting the season to part 1 and 2. I read reviews in here that the actors were bad? I think it's amazing what they made with the cast they have. The acting is first class and you can't find another series with teens that delivers at this level! If you don't like it then you're probably to young or not a fan of horror series.",9 "A lacklustre film with no story, very little scare and dumb written all over it. Now they are just milking the good name of The Conjuring by making some really bad films. First The Nun and now this. There is literally no story, no backdrop setup, no good characters, no good dialogues, no good spooky setting. Not even a good sound design. Thank goodness for the movie being short. You will just spend 80% of your time waiting to be scared but only to be dissappointed. The film is very anti climatic and not just at one point but at various junctures. The director plays with your emotions and in a not so good way. Heavily dissappointed with this one. Just don't watch it. Waiting for Conjuring 3 now to erase the sheer stupidity of the past films in the shared universe.",4 "After a copy of captain america punching soldiers for 30 minutes straight plus some really weird details (like Howard's Iron man suit almost as effective as the real Iron Man but 50 years before) I was really disappointed. The 2nd episode showed some improvement, but I'm happy I was patient enough to reach the 3rd one. After the scene of black widow with tony stark I started to feel the ""what if"" premise being well applied at last. Finally, the 4th episode came up and matched my expectations for the series. It was amazing that they explored to the limit the concept of different timelines and the plot was nice too. Really good episode!!",8 "SRK..the name is enough to ruled,the world most talented actor with huge..actually huge is less..i will say giant..with a giant no. of fans...and we know he respect his fan as much as he respect his career... What works in favour of the film is the one and only King Khan, who is dignity personified as Aryan Khanna and absolutely adorable in an underdog way as Gaurav Chandana. Khan plays both the parts perfectly and leaves you in awe with his restraint and exuberance as and when both are required. As Gaurav is more colourfull than Aryan, SRK gets to play around a lot as the Delhi-based fan nerd, who can do anything, even commit murder, for his god Aryan Khanna... However, if you overlook that, the cinematography will impress you and the thrilling chase sequences will keep you on the edge of your seats. Watch out for the climax scene, when Aryan turns the tables on Chandana, which is worth the ticket price alone... however films go...however ratings should be...we always love you Shahrukh",10 "I was told it was a good anime to watch, but instead this anime is among the worst I've ever seen. It's full of disappointment, lies and death I absolutely hated this anime and I recommend no one to watch it.",2 "I'd like to respond to the writer who asserts, on the strength of having lived in Korea for nine months, that ""the girl's aggressive behaviour towards Gyun-Woo is non-existent in [the] patriarchal, male dominated society of South Korea."" I haven't set foot in Korea. But I refuse to believe that ANY country is, or ever was, THAT homogenous. The population of South Korea is 48 million; assume that only someone in the heroine's age group could possibly resemble her (she does change in subtle respects as she grows older), and that the chance of any one woman developing her characteristics is a mere one in eight million, then by my rough calculations there's still an even chance that somewhere in South Korea is a woman who resembles her. Most Koreans won't have met her, of course. Never mind whether this story is explicit fantasy or not (I'll need to see the film again before I can become decided on that point); fiction is there to focus on the exceptional, not on the ordinary. ""The Girl"" is presented as being exceptional. Gyun-Woo is right in thinking that the woman he loves is special and that he won't see her like again. Is everyone else in love right to think this about THEIR beloved also? Maybe, maybe not; other people's love lives aren't part of the story. The fact that The Girl IS as special, as interesting, ultimately as lovable, as the story requires her to be (what's more: actress Ji-hyun Jun is lovely, and her facial expressions have to be seen to be believed) is only one of the reasons that ""My Sassy Girl"" is as fresh a romantic comedy as you're ever likely to see. Another reason is that it doesn't use romantic comedy formula even as its starting point. The levelling of obstacles standing between the lovers isn't really the point of the story. The point lies in the encounters themselves: how these two people change each other's lives. Each of the three successive acts (first half, second half, overtime) adds something to the story and takes it to a new, unexpected and subtly magical place. Of the many risks Jae-young Kwak took the only one that I think was ill-advised was his decision to make Gyun-Woo's taking the story to Shin Cine studios to be filmed part of the story, suggesting that the movie we're watching is the movie its protagonists helped to create. Luckily we're watching something far better than that and the scene is but a brief distraction, one false note in a two-hour symphony of delight.",10 "The show starts off slow and didn't hook me until about episode 3. The time-line with flashbacks is an issue, but after you catch on it's not a problem. If you're looking for an entertaining show I would recommend watching. Don't expect Game of Thrones, this is different as it has more fantasy elements. Kind of aligns more with the movie Willow. Highlights: Henry Cavil as Geralt- I think he did a fantastic job and helps make this show great. Anya Chalotra as Yennefer- Surprise for me, she was one of the best parts of the show. All in all, don't go into this show expecting to be blown away, but to see a fun fantasy adventure.",7 "I simply don't get the hype. I have enjoyed nearly every piece of Marvel content to date but I am confused by the popularity of this show. I have never heard anyone say they wanted a rehash of early sitcoms(complete with lame, outdated humour). Now to be fair its kind of unique and its getting better with each episode, but there is so little progress each week. The final episodes are going to have to be pretty spectacular to save it.",6 "It's been years since I have seen such a bad movie. Everything is just a nonsense with a ver infantil humor. It tried to be a philosophical film with a deep message but it just a great waste of two hours. The original idea is great but,ñ the execution is horrible: it's s not funny, it's not deep, it's just plan boring. Right know I'm written this review while the movie is still running but I could not care less about losing some of it. I give it a 2 instead a 1 because Michelle Yeoh does a great role. I wish I can see the reviews of the users which have given this movie a 8.2 so I can avoid their future recommendations.",2 "I don't normally write reviews, but I just can't ignore this one. In my opinion, Talk To Me is not only horror movie of the year, but is one of the best horror movies I have ever seen in my life. It was creepy, brutal, badass, and had my heart racing. The concept is unique and refreshing. The execution was exceptionally impressive all across the board. The writing, directing, editing, cinematography, sound design, and visual effects were all top notch. The ending was mind blowing and devastating, but absolutely perfect. I haven't left a theater feeling like that since Hereditary. Huge props to Michael and Daniel Philippou. I've been watching their channel, RackaRacka, since I was a kid. It's so satisfying to see how much they have grown from making crazy action videos on YouTube to a whole cinematic masterpiece such as this. If you are a horror fan, please don't miss out on this!",10 "I think I even didn't watch the last ten minutes of the movie, because I got tired and didn't felt the energy to finish the movie. It had some few good moments, but nothing really interesting and funny.",5 "This is the future comic book adaptations are headed? THEN WATCH...ME..GO. What a sucker punch. I had such a big hopes (mostly because of the hype created by people who invested millions into this flop), that it really hurts me to say, the biggest disappointment in 2008 was this movie. (Although, I still can't say it was the worst) There is nobody I can warn about this movie since I was probably the last person to see it on the earth, But-Man, to see a great franchise falling this low?! Millions of dollars spent on this movie, could have ended the poverty on this world, and I couldn't see anything to justify the spending. For example the bat-cave, in this movie is an undecorated, plain, underground garage. Fhuy!! Batman costumes always were lacking behind other super hero's outfit, however for what they used here, I have to admit I seen better on some kids showing up at my doorstep for Halloween. Not to mention it was so uncomfortable that Christian B. couldn't even move properly in it,(heck, he couldn't even speak properly in it), so all the fight scenes were TERRIBLE, hidden in dark or under a stroboscope light. How about the gay cowboy licking his mouth every 5 seconds, scary? try Retarded (No offense) Imitating raw home made camera footage, once invented by Blair Witch Project, in a News-break part was when I almost smashed my TV. (Again, where the money went in this film???????????????????????) I'll tell You where. Paying all the critics for a few favorable words. Shame, on You Hollywood. Sure, Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher versions were Over-The-Top, But-Man, did I love their use of colors and mood, it was a visual treat. Dark Knight: was it a bad movie?, No, it wasn't. Disappointment? You betcha'a! Long Live Jack Nicholson.",4 "Felt like too much time was spent in the 'virtual world', most of the jokes weren't funny and the main protagonist's avatar had a face that most people would want to punch",4 "I am really enjoying this show. I am not a game player so I am watching this story unfold without any knowledge of the game. I am really enjoying this show very much. The story line is different from your normal ""zombie"" stuff that was so badly done with the Walking dead. But this show is unique and has a believable cause. I have really enjoyed the acting in this show it is top notch! Pedro and Bella have done an excellent job! Supporting actors have been great as well I absolutely loved Bill and Frank and of course Tess. But I think this show is a bit over rated. I don't see it as the best show ever as some have proclaimed. Too many excellent shows out there to claim that fact many of which are better than this one. Now if you want to say this is the best show on TV now well I can get on board with that statement easily. HBO you have once again done an excellent job!",8 "Self indulgent meandering weak plot, that develops no real personal investment in the characters, and ends in a gory 10mins of madness. Just don't bother watching. Maybe if I lived through the 60s, and had any notions of Hollywood nostalgia, then it might get a 5/10.",2 "For some reason you can't stop to watch it after you started even though is hard sometimes. Specially with this Sherlock Holmes complex Clay has. Should I talk about his need of protect everyone around him? Wtf. It is so ironic that he thinks rape it's something monstrous but to kill someone else it's ok. ""We can protect you"" 🙄 I really don't like him. Everyone owns him a explanation.. Really? What about everyone beeing guilty until they prove they aren't? Wow. What a good friend.",3 "It's simply disappointing and infuriating that the writers and directors are just incapable to recognize their lack of skill and blame it on others. In a fantasy world so rich of lore and a fully completed reading material along with other media that complements it, it's unacceptable to write this low quality crap. It is extremely saddening that this show sucks so much, because there's no going back to the whiteboard, it's just done and dusted. A small win for the viewers will be to at least identify which shows are or will be terrible just by knowing the names of the people that worked on this soulless project.",5 "I'm certain that the main reason for my lowest of low ratings is that I was lead to believe I would be viewing a comedy. Like most films, I heard about Fargo word of mouth and everything I heard was about how funny it was. Laughs they all said. Hilarious I was told...back in '96. So when it came out on pay per view in late '96 or early '97, I attempted to watch it. More than half way through, I had not so much as chuckled. As a matter of fact, I was shocked and depressed. So I turned it off. Never saw the end. Then I had some conversations with my friends/coworkers/colleagues who had raved about it. ""Oh you just didn't give it a chance"" they all said. ""Watch it all the way though"" I was told. So here I am 20 + years later with a new open mind, ready to be amused. Prepared for chuckles and belly laughs. And this time, I watched all the way through. What did I discover? Nothing. Still depressing. Still pointless. Still completely, totally, entirely humorless. Not clever. Not interesting. Just depressing. Makes me wonder about the psychology of all those folks who raved about all the humor in this film. Makes me wonder how I would have felt about it had it not been presented as a comedy. As it is, just meh.",1 "I like the actors in this well enough to watch it. It lost my attention faster than a politician. I suppose this was going somewhere, but it appears to have gotten lost looking for the front entrance.",2 "I felt the script of the movie little thought, could have risked a more interesting story. The film has few acts",5 I would have loved to read the story about what happened a lot more than watching this.. Not one good character or actor.. How did they do to make it that long,3 "The movie was unexpectedly fun starting from all the references related to the actual Barbie doll to the costumes and till even the Barbie world itself. Overall I think there is a good balance between satire and sincerity, crammed with impeccable attention to details. Even tough as a watcher I expected Barbie to be the star of the show, in many moments Ken was actually such a fun scene-stealer that at one point I felt the movie should truly be Barbie and Ken. I could totally agree to the fact that the movie is a riotous, candy colored feminist fable and it's true that Barbie does many of the things we've been promised: there is much mocking and loving of Barbie, and plenty of costumes but none of those things make it subversive. From my point of view it's a movie that enormously pleased with itself but even tough it's very pretty it's not that very deep.",8 "I don't know how Matt Shakman convinced Disney to allow him to make three dedicated episodes of vintage comedy TV before actually diving into the plot of the show, but it WORKS. Obviously the acting is fantastic, and the first episodes give you JUST enough of an uneasy feeling to be curious enough to keep watching. It's worth it. This is a weird, refreshing show. The only downside is that they have to keep it PG - this show would really benefit from a contrast with some serious violence.",8 "Lost in space is typical of today's hollywood and poor treatment of established scifi shows. They didn't go as dirty as what they did to star trek, but all the same issues are present. Good CGI, check. Weak beta make, check. Stong females, check. Kids smarter than adults, check. Disfunctional crew, check. Depressing and dark, check. Forced diversity, check. Lack of intelligence, check. It's the same tired formula that keeps getting applied to shows that were good in an attempt to make a buck producing something half as good as the orginal. There is a severe lack of intelligent non SJW writers and this is just another example of the mediocrity that gets made these days. The only SJW formulaic thing left out was LBGT, guess they forgot that part or couldn't figure out how to shoehorn that one in. Looks great, the robot looks cool, but I would rather watch shows with cheezy special effects as long as the story is inteligent, engaging, and doesn't involve this terrible SJW remake/reboot formula hollywood keeps trying to indoctrinate us with. Maybe one day they will wizen up and make some more original shows that are inclusive to the average, logical thinking person.",5 "For those that saw the underlying interesting themes in earlier Marvel TV and films though , especially Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Man or Captain America, this and Wandvision should put the nail in coffin of any idea that Marvel will produce anything other than mediocre drek Michael Bay would probably pass on. I have no idea how anyone could mess up Loki, but I know now that they will.",1 """We are Venom"" - Eddie/Venom Skip It (D+) *new grade* Not as completely irredeemable from positives on this rewatch which it has a fun but crazy over-the-top performance by Tom Hardy as well as some good acting from Michelle Williams, Scott Haze and the rest of the cast. The score by Ludwig Gorannsson is still fun to listen to and the banter between Eddie and Venom is still fun. I still like the action sequences and cinematography here too. But my biggest praise is Venom's look and it is a major improvement over his look in Spider-Man 3 But between those positives, this movie still has the big issues that keeps this from being a great stand-alone Venom movie such as the inconsistency in the editing at times especially in the action sequences (which are still fun but problem is, some of them are not cut right) and most of the movie at times and the editing is pretty bad at times. The script by Kelly Marcel (and the 2 writers of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle & The Next Level) is really terrible and this movie suffers from Sony's usual studio meddling as well as no mention of the web singer, Spider-Man himself which was and still is desperately needed. Riot is a very disappointing villain with no clear motivation despite Riz Ahmed's best efforts but his performance is incredibly over-the-top. Not to mention there's some bad CGI here in places But of all of the problems this movie has, it's biggest and major problem is it's PG-13 rating really hurting the film's full potential and desperately needing for a hard R and the extra 40 minutes that was cut. Not the worst movie ever but still one of my least favorite superhero movies ever and one of the worst of last decade but it does have enough merit to boost the grade up. 4.5/10 (D+)",4 "Movie captures the glamour and mystery that many other Harry Potter films have done. Like many of the Harry Potter films, it was able to introduce new lore into the film. Newt, the main character in the film goes to the United States with a brief case that contains a collection of mysterious creatures. He introduces a new wizard world of the United States that seems to operate separately and independently from the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts and the rest of the European Wizard World. You can hear comparisons between how the wizard world in the United States governs as well as how good their Wizard Schools are. If and when they decide to expand the Harry Potter Universe there is a lot of potential settings and plots that they can create. The film seems to try to venture a new route that stems away from a more traditional, European, feel. The real connection between the movie and the book is going to be Grindlewald. In fact, the plot in the film stems around his influence. As such, this creates another window and direction for the film to go to. For those fans who know, his history actually has a lot of dark vibes and connections with characters that are important to the franchise. As far as I can tell, this film creates potential for a lot in the series. I actually think this film acts as an experiment with a different setting, different time period, and different type of characters for the franchise. Now for the important part... WHAT ABOUT THE FANTASTICAL BEASTS... saved this for last because I'm afraid the film didn't really hit a home run on this one. I guess you care more if you really read the books and know a bit about them already about the creatures and history of the Harry Potter world. The film focuses on a few of the creatures. You briefly see a few beasts when he enters his briefcase, which is essentially a beast haven where they live together peacefully... An attempt here to not scare children I assume. If you look at the creatures in the actual book its quite a bit darker. You have a brief view of this world for a few minutes. After that there are like three creatures that escape his briefcase that he needs to put back in. The main creature that we have an issue with in his film is the Obscurus, which is essentially an wizard to develops a dark side that is uncontrollable. Not really a fantastic beast because it pretty much behaves like a possessed human being except its something the wizard creates. The film definitely fails to show the magic of the actual book. The movie portrays something more resemblant to zoo animals and fails to show the more interesting creatures. No dragons.... really? Again, the movie does some nice and interesting things for the rest of the series. Overall, a fun flick. If you are a hardcore fan who is expecting that really looks into the creatures of the Harry Potter world, then you might be disappointed. I feel Goblet of Fire actually did a lot better job showing it's worlds creatures. Besides that though, I think the film does a good job at giving you several ways it can expand. As such, it gives you hope considering there was so much lore... history... and plots in the Harry Potter universe that it was a shame it was thought to have ended with its last film.",7 Each episode so far is 99% nonsense sitcom garbage with 1% intrigue. 3 episodes in and I'm still uninterested in anything they're saying or doing.,1 "What an uninspiring amount of drivel. A very predictable and very dull movie which leaves nothing but disappointment and an upsetting thought that I will never get the time back that I wasted watching it. Lady Gaga is an uninspiring actress who fails to convince that she is in love with anything. Her dreary performance is of an actress who looks like she is trying to remember her lines and indeed that fact she should be showing emotion when delivering them. Cooper tries to carry the film with a method approach to his acting but you often find yourself trying to decipher what his mumbled words actually were. The soundtrack is good and the music is of high quality, but I guess that's what you expect of someone with Gaga's vocal ability. Cooper has a great rock country voice and will no doubt will be releasing album after album following this. This is not a classic and is not even a film worthy of a second watch. That is unless you need to fall asleep quickly.",2 "Just saw Dunkirk. I am going to go against the flow and say I found it to be mediocre. Did not like many of the directing choices Nolan made. Many of his choices felt contrived and made it hard for me to maintain my willing suspension of disbelief. Kenneth Branagh was in the film, but was heavily underutilized. We never got a feeling for the miracle that was Dunkirk. And we ended up with a surprisingly small film for such a big event. One example: over 800 small boats enabled over 300,000 British soldiers escape, yet we never ever saw that. Consequently, the film completely failed to capture the scale of this event. I suppose Nolan was trying to give a view of Dunkirk from the perspective of a few hapless British soldiers who had a very small / micro view of the war. This particular group, unlike the vast majority of British troops, appeared willing to do anything to get back across the channel with little regard for their fellow soldiers. Ultimately, I just did not find them very believable and I really did not care about them. Likewise, the French's only role was to try to get on the ships. One of main unsympathetic characters was a French soldier who stripped a dead British soldier to so he could pretend to be British in hope of getting across the Channel. The fact that is was the French that fought a fierce rearguard action that gave the British time to effect the rescue was ignored. Scenes that could have been powerful - weren't - because the proper foundation to make them powerful was never laid. In not using CGI to give the viewer the true scope of Dunkirk (using real boats, people, planes and ship would have been cost prohibitive), over 850 ships and over 400,000 troops, was not shown. One would have never guessed the RAF fought hard and deployed hundreds of fighters to combat the bombs raining down on the men waiting on the beaches, flying a total of 3,500 sorties and losing 145 aircraft while the Luftwaffe lost 156. In the movie ships rolled over after getting hit by single bomb and the fact that Naval ships can actually fight back was ignored. In fact an armed civilian ship, a paddle wheeler, actually shot down 3 German airplanes en route to successfully ferrying 7000 soldiers back to England in seven round trips. So in the real Dunkirk larger ships survived multiple attacks from German aircraft and actually shot them down. We get none of that from Nolan. Consequently, he created a distorted and inaccurate view of Dunkirk. I can appreciate artistic license, but Nolan went too far in creating his sparse and tiny Dunkirk. So while I generally like war films, this one underwhelmed me. It was not a bad film, but it was inaccurate and there are many far better war films. On the positive side I did see it in IMAX and some of the scenes were spectacular. The soundtrack was also powerful. If you want to see this film, see it in the theater and see it in IMAX. I do not think it is worth watching on the small screen. We deserve a real film about Dunkirk.",5 "i've been following TVF since quite long...they have always managed to come up with unique concepts and sketches, unlike qtiyapa, tech convo wid dad, permanent roommates, this is more intense and quite evolving one...each character is so well developed that it has that 'factor' that makes u think about the possibilities and again make u, as a viewer, relate with one's life...I wish u guys all the very best n yes, to the '#qutiyaguy...aka arunabh...i too wish to see this series on par or better than entourage...kudos guys!!!...n bisso..aka...biswapati sarkar...some one will definitely mention u as his/her inspiration for their start up!!! :)",10 "Martin Scorcese seems to have a penchant for creating films about loathsome characters. That being said, the low-lifes in this film make the gang in GoodFellas seem like a bunch of guys you'd really like to hang with. If you can like a film about dislikeable people, then the director of that film has really achieved something (GoodFellas, for example). This movie however left me with an excruciating three-hour urge to strangle someone. In fact, the only thing I found myself applauding was the piece of ham that got caught in the throat of Donnie Azoff (played to the nth degree of irritation by Jonah Hill). Speaking of ham, the entire cast was guilty of histrionic hysteria, including the usually reliable Leonard DiCaprio. They all seemed eager to show the audience just how pleased they were to be in a Scorcese movie. And Scorcese himself seemed eager to show the audience that he can still make a film that is not even near as good as, but is kinda, sorta, almost like GoodFellas (hadn't he learned anything from Casino?) This is the 2nd time I've panned a Scorcese film on this site, so I decided to look at his body of work and see how many of his films I've truly enjoyed over the years. There aren't many. GoodFellas, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Last Waltz, and After Hours are my choices for his best efforts. I wouldn't suggest that Mr. Scorcese is not a good director. I just wish he would make more movies about people and things we can care about. Now, if he could just make a whole movie about that piece of ham...",4 "The action is jaw dropping. The film is beautiful. The protagonist is compelling. But this movie kinda reminded me of Rocky IV...except this time the Russians were the Japanese. So it was really exceptional Chinese propaganda, but it was still kinda Chinese propaganda. That said, if someone told me they were interested in a martial arts film, I would not hesitate to recommend.",7 "When the focus is on a few characters, this film shines but the overall focus is blurry-literally and metaphorically. I'm not kidding. Imagine one of your favorite Marvel characters having an awesome fight with some adversaries and the gigantic IMAX image on screen is cropped so that you see only the hero's head, shoulders, belt buckle and arms only up to the wrists because the baddie he or she is fighting is completely out of the frame. When you see the credits and see the leagues and leagues of artists who worked on this thing that were sacrificed on the pyre where they burned the steadicam or the glidecam and an editor that needs to cut from one place to another every two seconds and needed a strong sedative, you will long for a Spielberg, a Ridley Scott, a John Ford or a Hitchcock who knew how to frame things and didn't let the camera and editors run wild.",3 I did not expect an ode to the 90's movie in the form of a serie to be as great as this. From directing and especially the acting and story I loved it. Mads Mikkelsen stands out of course. No one else in my opinion could have pulled this off. Start watching and get dragged into the world of the most famous psychiatric serial killer in history.,10 "The unique formate of this film certainly makes for an interesting viewing experience. But if you're going to make a film like this, the characters and plot need to be spot on. While John Cho's acting is great, I struggled to relate to the character and didn't find him likeable or charming. When there are such few characters in a film you need at least one that's likeable (or at least charming) or it starts to feel arduous. In the second half of the film there are a few plot points that just didn't make any sense to me. One was just totally laugable (this would simply never happen in real life) and the other was a bafflingly convenient coincidence. This left me frustrated and shaking my head. The acting is very decent and it's a unique film, with some genuine twists that I didn't see coming... but I think the film Unfriended: Dark Web used the format in a more compelling way.",6 I did not like season 3 at all. A little to cheesy for me.,2 "very good movie. meaningful movie is great I enjoyed watching this movie meaningful movie is great I enjoyed watching this movie movie very deep through the recent controversy about the couple's divorce English - Vietnamese is the owner of the museum, or visit the ticket sales is allowed or not allowed; visitors can spend less least 1 hour to watch the 500 eyes sized mannequin with real people - wearing their uniforms and beautiful details; movie very deep through the recent controversy about the couple's divorce English - Vietnamese is the owner of the museum, or visit the ticket sales is allowed or not allowed; visitors can spend less least 1 hour to watch the 500 eyes sized mannequin with real people - wearing their uniforms and beautiful details; http://taingheiphone.nhatnghe.org",7 "The thing about movies (even science fiction) is that they need to have some level of believability to them to keep them relatable. This is what makes horror movies scary, super hero movies exciting and heartwarming, action movies entertaining, etc. Ready Player One doesn't have that level of realism. I could never see the events that happen in the movie play out in reality and I don't see anyone ever making some of the choices that the characters make. It's a Sci fi movie that lost it's Sci. You can write a movie about anything but that doesn't mean you should. I could write a movie about a ghost that becomes friends with a sentient sofa and they teach baseball to a family of dolphins in space, but it would suck. That is Ready Player One.",3 "I was immediately hooked when I saw the first episodes of Hannibal, recognizing that this was something quite different than most, often pretentious series about killers, cops and violence, or mysticism, for that matter. Hard to get a grip on just watching the first seasons episodes, it soon grows on you, when the intellectual battle between Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen) and Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) gets increasingly complex and dangerous, when you start to wonder if one of them could actually exist without the other one. Hannibal recognizing himself in Will, toying with him and his ability to get into the most twisted mindsets of the most twisted humans, and his own inner battle to keep himself sane in the progress. It only gets better. You never tire or stop being amazed of the twists and turns in this mad dance. It was a huge disappointment that in the country I reside in the series had dwindling numbers of viewers, making the network showing it counter that by moving it to worse times, from almost prime time to whatever slot that was not occupied by other more mediocre series. It was clear the mainstream viewers had missed out on the cleverness and artistic splendor that was on show, but it has got a growing following now, thankfully. Season three has to be mentioned especially, as from what I have heard it was very unclear for a period if it should be continued at all. It took it's time, but in the third installment we are taken from the often grey, desolate US east coast settings, and into the core playground of Europe's cultural elite. The brutality is worse than ever, but has been accompanied by a breathtaking beauty, featuring artistic shots of ancient cities and buildings, almost classic paintings, or art-interventions, when the story is unfolded. You constantly have the feel that you are watching a high-class feature movie, not a TV-series, wanting to concentrate on every moment of clever conversations between the fantastic actors (the guest stars are brilliant, Eddie Izzard for example making one of the absolute top performances of his career) and the fantastic environments and ornaments, filled with symbolism and hints of what is to come next...who will be on tonight's menu? Who has to be sacrificed and who is to be spared? This is a must for any fan of high-quality TV entertainment!",9 "Humour Plot Acting Editing It's absolute garbage, probably the worst film I've seen in a long time.",2 "First thing's first. For the love of God, stop comparing this with GOT. this is The Witcher, and by far the best live action movie/TV adaptation of Andrez Spaowski Novels. Sure it has swords, axes, battles, monsters, nudity, blood, but this is NOT game of Thrones. If you are a newbie to The Witcher world, but likes dark fantasy Movies/TV, you definitely won't be disappointed. This Netflix show has enough to keep you hooked up from 1st to Last episode & will leave you satisfied for your time and money. If you are a witcher fan, then you are in luck. This is exactly what The Witcher fans always demanded and Netflix has delivered. Sure it can't best the games or even the books, but nothing comes close to this live action adaptation of The Witcher. Henry Cavill shines and he is THE perfect Geralt of Rivia. The supporting cast has done a good job too especially Yennifer and Ciri. The story is intriguing, setting and the environment are just too good and perfect for a dark fantasy story telling. ALL in ALL, a must watch this holiday. Please do not go for all the negative reviews out there for this show. Watch it your self and have your very own opinion. You won't be disappointed",9 "Keeps you entertained throughout the time.All actors have performed well. Nothing what I expected which makes it a good movie.Comedy,drama,twists and turns,lil bit of action what else you want from a movie.",8 "The thing I like about the show is that it's more Lord of the Rings than GOT. However the comedy is quite dry and Cavill is great with the one liners. I was a little confused as there were two time periods but once I worked it out it all started to make sense. The special effects are very good and the acting good. My only complaint would be a serious lack of black male characters in the show.",7 "7.6 score must be fake, unless it's being scored by kids. Acting is bad, dialogues are bad, characters act completely illogically all the time. I mean nobody can get rid of a villain, she just waltzes around and does what she wants. CGI is pretty good, but all in all it's a waste of time, better watch something else or better yet, just go outside and ride a bike or take a walk.",2 "This movie was a little bit of a let down. It's called Captain America but it really is more of an Avengers movie, meaning if you didn't watch all the marvel stuff up to this point you'll be lost. It's also called ""Civil War"", but rather feels like a sandbox tussle most of the time. The film heavily banks of putting our heroes against each other but the narrative around it feels pretty forced. The battle itself takes place on a grey empty airport under a grey empty sky with piles of cardboard boxes conveniently placed everywhere someone gets tossed. It is really not as epic as it could have been. At some point the movie fortunately remembers that it had a plot and that plot is actually pretty decent. The final confrontation between Cap and Iron Man feels much more believable and emotional than the big brawl beforehand and it's nice to see a smart villain with a believable motivation for a change.",7 "This movie is hard for me to do a review on, since the hype also caught me and I enjoyed the movie and the ideas/theories behind it when I watched it... But here a couple of weeks later, it seems overrated and to be frank a bit pious to me. There is just something about the movie that seems off to me, the acting, the ideas, the message... Hard for me to put my finger on, perhaps it feels (to me) just like another movie with this ""New World Energy Message"" plot that Hollywood and people like Echardt Tolle is making a lot of money on. To boil it down, it's not a bad movie - just don't start analyzing it :-)",5 "Echnically a 6.5, but definitely not anything to be thrilled about, as there isn't much novelty. I'm not familiar with the comics so I had no special expectations. I can honestly say it was a fun movie, but I just don't see where the glowing praise is coming from. Story-wise, it does its job without much surprise or imagination. The little drama with Billy searching for his long-lost mom, while being unable to accept companionship from others, is alright. The special FX are good, but there aren't any mindblowing scenes (no real fighting or magic other than smoke and lightning). I didn't mind the villain being one-note, but I wish they did something better than the old ""7 deadly sins,"" or at the very least been more creative with the designs (which look like clay concept models of generic gargoyles and you couldn't even tell which sin was which).",4 "Please don't tell me how great this show is, because it isn't. It's mediocre at best and falls flat compared to the storytelling of the original game. All the variations and modifications here are disappointing. They didn't take the time to tell the pandemic's outbreak properly. They took all the edges of the characters away and turned them into middle class role models put in a post-apocalyptic scenario. And was it so inconceivable to let the Millers be a struggling white family? Pedro Pascal is a decent actor but he misses completley the anger and energy of Joel. That Mormont kid is just freaky and shallow compared to Ellie. And what the heck did they do to Bill? What is this? Modern Family with some bandits and infected outside the gated community? I recommend you watch a gameplay walkthrough of the PS5 Remake or the movie Children of Men for that matter. I hope you'll see the difference.",5 "The show was very long could've been done in two episodes. The characters were not very likable,It was your typical angry at the world characters. The actors were good just the storyline have been done.",1 "Started off strong, but nothing set up has any meaningful pay off. In the end it's just a bloated Marvel movie.",5 "I found this unbelevable, silly and predictable. The attempt to make it look as if it was made in one single shot was distracting.",5 "I know about The Witcher because of the wildly popular game, The Witcher 3, Wild Hunt. Though I haven't played the game cause my system isn't powerful enough to play the game in full glory and I don't have the time for it. I suspect with a better system, I'd definitely make time for it. All of this is to say that I don't know the world of Witcher going into this show and it's a complicated world full of monsters, Kingdoms, mages, laws and timelines. It's a bit difficult to wrap your head around and the show doesn't make it any easier especially with the storytelling across different timelines. The first few episodes can be confusing but stick around and things start getting clearer. The payoff for sticking around is around episode 7 where the timelines converge and you start to understand how things connect. Now, even with those complications, the show is entertaining and enjoyable. All of the fight sequences involving Henry Cavill is damn fun, and is definitely the best part of the show. Henry Cavill has worked hard and it shows, the sword fights have real depth to it. The big scale war scenes are a bit lacking and cannot come anywhere near GOT. The show also gets campy and cheesy from time to time but overall it's a good season 1 and I'm excited to see where the show goes from here.",8 "Don't normally watch horror but this came up in a secret screening. I'm glad I watched it. Partying teens have a new party trick, being briefly possessed by saying to talk to me whilst holding a hand status. What could go wrong? Whilst I don't think it's an original idea it definitely was very well executed and probably one of the best possession films. The acting is very well done by all characters and the story arc of the main character is done incredibly well due to Sophie Wilde's performance but also the cinematography of her story throughout the film (don't want to give spoilers as to what I mean by this) What I also like is it doesn't do cheap jumpscares (in fact there ain't many) but more goes for the shock effect (my cinema gasped at a couple of scenes) which really works for this film. It makes it alot more impactful. I think my only criticism is some parts of the story aren't as original as the directors think and could have gone a different route for those parts. Overall I enjoyed Talk to Me and a great effort for first time directors.",8 "Terrible, convoluted movie, with a weird plot and weirder execution. Not worth the hype it's getting. It takes forever for the plot to move forward. Yeah some visuals are great, but it doesn't offset the other trashy parts you've gotta sit through.",3 "The first two seasons of The Umbrella Academy were excellent, binge worthy, and compelling. Season 3 is lost, sporadic, and at times even boring. One of the biggest failures is the character of Viktor. Vanya was a fascinating character, but something gets lost in the translation to Viktor. The show might have been better had they killed off Viktor and eliminated the character completely. Viktor seems superfluous at this point and more of a distraction and drain on the plot and other characters. Klaus and Five are the saving graces of season 3, and the main reason I gave it 3 stars. Allison's continuing development as a character was also a strong point. The plot at times was all over the place, and at others, painfully redundant. I hear there might be a season 4, if so, I think I will miss it if it's more of the same.",3 "There's approximately 120 minutes too much of it. What is left, would make an average ""people are awesome"" youtube video. What I liked most is the color of the car.",4 "Give it up, Bezos. In two hours, Pixar did this job with far more wit than this psycho-sexual MESS. Sophomoric trash.",1 "The Super Hero movie is a genre (note: CBM is not) which all of us have come to cherish and criticize for our own reasons and through our own lens. We talk ad nauseam about which one is the best, which ones are superior/inferior to others, and all the other nuanced opinion- based, fact-backed, rationales for why A is good/best/worst/better. I posit that Civil War IS the greatest of the genre. To explain why, first we have to look at what we want out of these movies. A TRUE HERO. Captain America, without a doubt the fastest rising fictional icon today. I can't be the only one seeing Cap T-shirts everywhere I go? How did we get here? Prior to CW, 2 starring roles in excellent films (Winter Soldier is TOPS) and supporting roles in the flashy and wondrous Avengers flicks. We KNOW Steve Rogers now. We do. He's not a prototype, or an archetype, or a symbol, he's a guy from Brooklyn named Steve who has suffered heartbreak and loss and through his backbone of unwavering morality has persevered. We believe in his moral code, and Civil War brings that trust to the forefront of this film by forcing us to view it through not just our lens but other characters we've come to appreciate like Iron Man, as well as through the eyes of our fictional counterparts, the typical citizen of MCU's Earth. A SPECTACULAR FIGHT. AIRPORT AIRPORT AIRPORT. Holy Sh!t! I was riveted for 20 minutes straight by that set piece. It combined scores of characters we love with different and nuanced power-sets clashing together with kinetic and jarring results. Never has there been a better fight in CINEMA than this one here. Civil War is an embarrassment of riches in this department as the climactic battle between Bucky, Cap and Steve is core-cutting, pulpy, madness. The Romania escape scene, with the stairwell battle -> rooftop Buck v Panther was f'ing SICK. Never has a CBM had this much glorious, character-motivated, plot-driving action before. A SURPRISE. Spider-Man. Yes, we saw his costume design in a trailer. Personally, I knew nothing more than that eye squinting image and the actor playing him's filmography. Of Spider-Man I know much more, and on the big screen have seen him 4.5 times (turned of ASM2). The surprise that was the delightful, fulfilling Spider-Man on screen, wise-cracking, web-shooting, wall-crawling and heartfelt as we've never seen before. A CONTINUING STORY. Super-Hero genre is derived from the Comic Book, and the comic book is a serial. To pay true homage to its roots, you can do a number of things, like rip the cover page off the book you're adapting and throw it up on screen for an extra beat (which they did in this) or name check creators, etc. But the truest way to homage the medium is to create an evolving story that lays story seeds that are nurtured into central conflicts in later films. That's what we got here with the revelation that Bucky killed Tony's parents. Bucky himself as a character is also a perfect realization of the continuing story as the Cap Trilogy (GOAT!) creates this saga of Bucky throughout. The ending of this movie is satisfying, and yet... we NEED to see more! A WORTHY FOE. Iron Man and Zemo and Black Panther and Self-Doubt and all the other antagonistic forces that challenge our heroes in this film are perfectly pitched and create a harmony of conflict throughout that the audience can do nothing but root root root for the home team. Crazy thing is, with Iron Man, our allegiances are tested and at times we sympathize with our antagonists. This is a mark of a great film. In conclusion, in Captain America: Civil War we have the truest, the most rewarding, the most riveting, emotional, suspenseful Super Hero movie that has ever been created. Wonderful movies in the genre have come before. Some with excellent villains like Ledger's Joker, some realizing moments on screen that most never dreamed we'd see (The Avengers) and others that offered us a taught thrill-ride (Spider- Man 2, Days of Future Past). NEVER, and I mean never, have we gotten a movie that delivered EVERYTHING we could hope for in a single offering like we got with CIVIL WAR. It has NO weak spots, indeed this movie is all STRENGTH and that is why it's the Greatest of All Time.",10 "Very entertaining & interesting, especially for petrolheads. Christian Bale's accent as someone from the midlands of England does not quite hit the mark however 😂",7 Self indulgent filmmaker makes a film for himself.,5 "Another film that has its theme the writer, the musician, the actor, etc. I could find such films amusing if they had some sense of humor - well a lot of humor I'd say. Some spirit of self-reproach, admitting that there are things in this world more important than the writer the actor the performer etc. I prefer the other ballet dancer film a few years ago, it was more real more cruel. I prefer what Bergman used to do.",5 "This is my first movie review and I have very mixed emotions about this film. I understand that this is a film that several people worked tirelessly on and that it took a lot of their time, energy and passion into making this film. Expectations were already extremely high for this. Pros: The stars of this film were the animators, the folly artists, the art department, the sound department etc. The ""real life"" animation was very appealing. The animators worked hard to make every detail and movement of the animals as life like as they could and how they drew from real life animal interactions. All of the people who worked hard to create this film deserve a lot of credit for their hard work. They should have been the ones promoting this film. Cons: I have the same reactions as others here so I won't repeat what they have said but: When I was younger and would watch a Disney or any animated film, my family and I would see a movie based on its story and the characters. We didn't know famous actors as children and we didn't care if one particular actor was in an animated movie or not. I still think that this rings true for my children today. They know of actors but they do not care who's in the film. Disney and other studios are choosing actors based on who they are rather than finding a better fit. As an adult I know who the actors are in this film and because I know who the actors are it took away from my experience. You can recognize their voices and reference them to another film/tv show/ etc. While all of the actors in this film are talented I believe in giving other actors an opportunity to showcase their talents and Disney like other studios continues to help make wealthy actors even wealthier. I think I would have focused more on the storyline had it been different from the first one if the animation had more facial expressions and if the actors were completely new. Furthermore Disney could have created more speaking roles for this film to add new character development and again give other an opportunity at employment. Disney makes a lot of money and as an adult I'm tired of feeling forced to watch a film with a certain actor or group of actors because of who they are. I think the enjoyment of movies for myself and family has been taken away over the years because Hollywood continues to use the same group of actors over and over again.

But even he can't get me to watch another season, if there is one. The liberal agenda was flying high.",4 "The idea was very unique and different. While the episodes could have been longer with more storylines added, it gave us a good story as to what happened after the Endgame movie and, from what I read, sets up Wanda's storyline for the next Dr. Strange movie and sets up a storyline for the next Captain Marvel movie. All in all it was not bad.",7 "An okay offering from Netflix that makes sure to check the appropriate boxes. Cinematography is good, overall, but tries too hard to be clever. The lead character treats those around her poorly, yet they cling to her. Starts strong but does not hold up throughout.",7 "I had no expectations before I watched it. I thought it's gonna be like another boring detective/mistery series out there. But it turned out so interesting and good. Kate Winslet really deserves that emmy award. As like another roles she did, she nailed it!",8 "Yes, the IRON MAN 2 lived up to its expectations. The cinematography and the narration of the story is good. The background music was not irritating. The gadgets and the technology shown in the movie can grab anyone's attention to watch this movie. Every character has their own importance and it didn't confuse the audience by any bad editing. It would have been even better if the ""Mickey Rourke"" role at the end have the good action to make the impact. On the whole IRON MAN 2 is worth watching. But watch it on Big Screen to enjoy the IRON MAN go......",8 Is this going to be future of bollywood after non sense love stories??,1 "This is a mediocre teen horror. In comparison to other IMDB's ratings, I believe this should be a 6.1 tops. I'm rating it 1 to offset what I think is an artificially high score. I reactivated my Amazon Prime account just to watch it on Prime Video because of the 7.1 rating on IMDB, and believe me: not worth it! The teens are annoyingly stupid and over-the-top mean. Characters' personalities are inconsistent throughout the story (and I'm not referring to the moments when they are possessed). The decisions they make bear no logic or wits, from trivial decisions (call the SPCA, you fool!) to specific problem solving (blowing out a candle will solve it, really?). The plot is confusing, a bit of a mess. The aesthetics of the hand, with all the graffiti, is silly (a ouija board is much more visually intriguing). I suppose it would be very difficult to make a solid or intelligent horror movie based on such a pedestrian childish premise (teens find an embalmed hand that allows them to contact spirits). I'm the fool here, who believed this could be a 7.1 and spent money on it.",1 "Captain America:The Winter Soldier starts the new marvel era off with a lot of action. Winter Soldier takes the classic Nick Fury VS S.H.I.E.L.D story from the 80's and gives it a good sharp twist and makes it a Captain America Story. But one that travels the Marvel universe. S.H.I.E.L.D has been infiltrated by HYDRA. the entire organization has been taken over and on the eve of SHIELD'S biggest plan for world security . they plan to launch three helicarrier drones. Each Drone has the firepower to decimate a country. When a tense conversation with Captain America leaves Nick Fury thinking he tries to go into his files to find out more. Only to find out someone has blocked all access. Fury is targeted for termination. When he very narrowly escapes an attempt on his life he goes to the apartment of Steve Rogers. And asks for Captain America'a help. Fury is attacked in cap's apartment by a shadowy assassin called the Winter Soldier. He's as fast as Captain America and as strong with one cybernetic arm. And the Soldier is totally ruthless. As Fury lies dying in Cap's apartment he gives him a flash drive containing all of SHIELD'S secrets and tells him to trust no one. Cap takes Fury to the Hospital and contacts the Black Widow who was close to Fury. As the two heroes watch over Fury. Cap is ordered to SHIELD just as Fury dies. Steve hides the flash drive and goes over to see SHIELD'S Director Alexander Pierce. It is here Steve learns of how far Hydra's reach is. Steve is questioned by Pierce. When Pierce isn't satisfied with the answers to His questions he orders Steve Rogers killed.. Steve fights his way out of SHIELD. With only the Widow for help Steve must find out the answer to what Hydra is up to And to stop it. He also must confront the Winter Soldier again. Steve and the Widow recruit Sam Wilson a highly skilled former soldier code named the Falcon for good reasons. As Cap gets closer to the truth. And as he assembles his allies to take out SHIELD. He finds out the sinister truth about Who the Winter Soldier is. CAPTAIN America : THE WINTER SOLDIER . is a fine action story that puts super heroes into a world best occupied by James Bond. and makes it work. Stay for the after credit scenes. And you'll find out just how far the ripples of this film go. A high degree of writing and skillful direction moves this film above the rest of the marvel films. Add in some fine acting and you got a great popcorn film. the Only Drawback to me was Robert Redford. While Redford is great as Pierce. It seems as if they ran out of things for him to do in this film. which is a shame. Redford adds a lot of class to this production. And he underacts to his credit which gives his scenes with Samuel L. Jackson's Fury a bigger and better dimension. After All His Pierce isn't a screaming Villain from the old cliffhangers who rub their hands and cackle in evil delight. He's a man of this age and this century who knows how to do things skillfully and hide them in plain view. All in All Winter Soldier is the best Marvel film released thus far. And that's saying something.",10 "I was disappointed in Cord Jefferson's 'American Fiction'. And let me quickly get this out of the way; it's possible that my expectations were too high. There was so much buzz about this film during the past month I doubt anything could have lived up to my anticipation. And if that's the case: I'm sorry. What disappointed me? One, the film's lack of energy; there was, for me, a sort of shuffling through the story as opposed to the characters' taking big broad steps. Then Two, I was surprised at how much of a (dysfunctional) family story this was , as opposed to a story more edgy in a more universal way. And Three, the main character - a novelist - has to learn something about himself over the course of the film, but I'm not convinced that he does. And if he does, I wonder how long it'll last. Worse still, we are told what he will learn early in the film; a Jimmy Walker Scotch Liquor metaphor. In order to pay his mother's mounting medical bills our black novelist 'Monk' Ellison (Jeffrey Wright) writes a trashy black-exploitation story under a pseudonym. When the book becomes a tremendous success (monetarily) he is faced with owning-up to the fact that he wrote it, or somehow keeping it undercover. First, the fact that he can keep it secret is handled in a most awkward way; something about his being a felon on the run. But more important, this problem puts him at odds with his new girlfriend (a radiant Erika Alexander), his brother (Sterling K. Brown) and mother (Leslie Uggams), other novelists, his agent and publishers, film-makers, but most of all, with himself. There is a scene early on where two employees of a Publishing House ooh and ahh to Monk about his wonderful (trashy) book. The scene is fantastic. Crisp and clear in its racism, in its total lack of sincerity, in their willingness to sell out for the sake of big bucks. And I wish there were many more scenes like this one. Scenes with the back and forth pacing that proved both edgy and hilarious. There were a couple of such encounters; but too few by far. Instead we get family problems. A gay brother. A mother with dementia. A sister's early death. A lying and cheating father. None of which, by the way, would be any different were the characters not black. No, what we have is a family of doctors (2) and one novelist. And I'm not altogether certain about whether I'm supposed to like them and, if so, root for their problems to be solved. But, fact is, it is that lack of (my) caring that kept me at arm's length with 'American Fiction'.",4 "I've just watched this, I definitely wouldn't watch this again, it was rubbish, the acting was good, but the storyline was crap, I didn't like this, I wouldn't recommend this, it was so painful to watch, it's a crap, and horrendous film. The music was awful, i didn't understand the story, it wasn't very good and I hated it really. I loved the actors, especially Anya Taylor Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Janet Mcteer, Ralph Fiennes and John Leguizamo, hope people take care into account, it's not a film or movie, worth seeing, I would recommend the woman in black or The nun films. They're muxh better than this, that's for sure.",3 Just thin accross the board. Too much CGI not enough Depp.,1 "Gaga acting wasn't convincing.. lot of unnecessary dialog, scenes (you get the feeling they are there just for Gaga to get scream time..for popularity..). Or that ""produced and directed by Bradley Cooper (in his directorial debut)"" DEBUT is the key word!",3 "This may probably be my first review over IMDb (even if I'm looking at reviews and ratings all the time) but I can't let this go: Interstellar may not be the best movie of all times but how the hell can you be demolishing this movie as you do? This movie brings, which is the main goal of movie, entertainment. If you want science facts, watch documentaries. If you want SciFi, why don't you stick to books (intended to make imagination work far beyond a movie would do) instead of watching a movie? This movie brought me, during a bit more than two and a half hours, in deep space and time. It even worked so fine I didn't even notice it was so long. I was totally convinced by this movie even though I noticed the gigantic, not to say cosmic, plot holes (the NASA stuff, the main attitude of Matthew McConaughey and so on). But at least, it made the job: it ENTERTAINED me and brought a little magic with this cocktail of space travel and time. But I can't stand reading these completely unjustified negative reviews made against a movie that sincerely does not deserve such hate. I'm wondering if, as complained for very positive reviews over-rating the movie as a marketing plot, the main goal is to lower down this movie to keep others on the top. Interstellar is, again, not a masterpiece but totally worth watching for those who'd like shipping through space (not to say dreams) for 3 hours.",7 "I dont write reviews. After seeing the 8.4 rating on IMDB I binge watched the show and here is the verdict. The only characters I cared what happened to in the end was five, hazel and cha cha. All the other characters get dumber as the show continues. Visually amazing but the development of characters is written for pre-teens. The last 2 episodes I was yelling at the t.v. over how annoying and predictable the show was getting. Its like they piss you off on purpose. I actually rate this a five but need to offset this ridiculous 8.5 rating.",3 "To me, this was a disappointing movie. I anyhow wasn't that much inclined to see it, because of the popularity amongst the youngsters: that's invariably a bad token. So maybe I should rephrase my opening sentence. The movie was what I expected, but I'm always disappointed my bad expectations are so vastly responded to. This product is so obviously invented - with the help of some adequate stealing from the predecessors in the genre. To name a few examples: Jack Sparrows bearing clearly is a loan from Sandokan, the head figure of a popular pirate series in the 70's; the stern character of the commodore, rigid and uncompromising as in numerous examples before (the loosening at the end is a bland falsification); the Yankee Doodle type of the father of the heroine; and so on. The movie distinctly was made for commercial purposes, and has no historical traits whatsoever. The Zombie effect of pirates doomed to perpetual half-life is one of the many dispirited genuflections to modern taste and merely augments the mendacious value of the motion picture. I can give more instances of such unhistorical nonsense, but cannot do so without giving away the plot; so I'll avoid that error. All in all, if you like pure fantasy without any pretension of truth – go see it, when you have nothing better to do. But don't you think things in any respect could've happened this way; life isn't a fairy-tale.",5 "DEATH NOTE : Desu nôto ( 9.3/10 ) I watched this anime recently and I'm almost done with it All I can say about this series is that it is the best anime I have ever watched, and this series is a masterpiece and a global phenomenon of its time. Words cannot describe this wonderful work and the elaborate, complex and simplified story at the same time. This anime is very wonderful, enjoyable and influential. I liked the dialogues that make it easier for you to understand the complexity that occurs in the story, The exceptional experience of watching this series cannot be described, because it simply attracts you in every episode and tightens your nerves as you progress further and shocks you with touching scenes and epic music that captures the heart. I need to write a full article in order to describe the splendor and beauty of the characters in this amazing anime because all the characters have human and personal motives and something that distinguishes them from the rest of the characters, especially the main characters and even the side characters . Perhaps the beginning of the anime was normal, but as you watch the episodes constantly, things start to become very strong and enthusiastic. In order to finish this review, I want to say that this anime should be watched in any way possible and as soon as possible because it changed my life a lot and I enjoyed it a lot.",9 "But still, WandaVision was really good. It was so entertaining and one of the best things produced by Marvel. It proved that Marvel will go strong as ever after Endgame and their series plans are no joke. Elizabeth Olsen is the very underrated and she stole the whole show and our hearts with ease. More like this please Disney.",9 Stranger things is interesting but is something that i could only watch once to enjoy. In season one the story is interesting and the whole 11 story made me want to watch more. sadly in season two i lost all interest in 11. the kids were way more interesting and they did pretty basic kid things. except for when they fight demogorgans. in season three id like to see more of the kids and less of 11 unless they plain on making her interesting again. the new character max was interesting. she was cool and showed the kids whos boss. normally i dont like it when the show adds a new character that adds nothing to the story. but max filled in for eleven and made me ignore elevens story. another suggestion for season 3 less 11 and more max. sorry this review probably make no since.,9 "What is the most resilient parasite? An Idea! Yes, Nolan has created something with his unbelievably, incredibly and god- gifted mind which will blow the minds of the audience away. The world premiere of the movie, directed by Hollywood's most inventive dreamers, was shown in London and has already got top notch reviews worldwide and has scored maximum points! Now the question arises what the movie has that it deserve all this?",6 "I wanted to like this movie, I really did. I tried but I found every main character sort of loathsome with no redeemable traits. Though I don't need to like characters in a movie to be able to be absorbed by a film, I found myself rooting against most of these characters. I love J. K. Simmons but he felt very wooden and I had the impression that I could see his acting and nothing felt real or organic in his play. Plus his sociopathic behavior had rolling my eyes at the idea this was enabled by the school. Miles Teller's character was just as unsympathetic and I was hoping he failed at every turn. Plus this movie is a total sausage fest with women only serving as plot points and not counting as real people.",4 "The scenes with Geralt cutting down everyone and everything in his path are solid. The story and its telling, on the other hand, are both weak. There's no central arc to latch onto and care about, the time jumping is sloppy, and the acting resembles a late-night SyFy flick at times. The Witcher has a glimmer of hope, but Season 2 will depend on the show runner making some fairly large changes for the better.",6 "The first season is intelligent, smart and original. The second one has less ideas and the screenplay is so so but overall can be ok. The third season is terrible: the screenplay is at the level of a B or C movie. Some scenes are terrible longs and especially the last three episodes are really terrible.",4 This is such a beautiful way of portraying love. Pure & simple...,10 "I was really excited about seeing this film. I had heard good things about it and I knew that it was the same songwriters that were involved in La La Land which is one of my favourite films and so I went in to this with high expectations. And I was extremely disappointed. The Greatest Showman is a Michael Gracey film starring Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Zac Efron and Zendaya. It follows the story of P.T. Barnum and his journey with the circus and show business. Let's start with the things I did like. I thought that the cinematography was beautiful, the vibrant colours, the moments of slow motion and the visual effects were stunning. If you are a particularly visual person when it comes to films, I would recommend this film to you. I also liked the dance routines throughout the film. There is a particular moment with Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams on a rooftop that is really lovely choreography and a routine with Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron that I thought was very well done. The acting was generally not bad, it was well cast and I thought that the actors all fit the roles very well.The story was generally entertaining, though fairly simple. Now onto the things that I didn't like: As a musical, I was expecting the music to be good. However, I felt that the lyrics were reasonably uncreative and the general sound of the music felt, almost, too polished for the context of the film. The thing that makes musicals like La La Land so good is that the songs feel a little rough around the edges (although obviously still well performed) and that's what makes them believable and vulnerable. Also, my first thought about the music in this film was that the songs all sounded kind of the same to me. I figured that was just me not quite paying attention in the moment, but going and listening back to them now I still feel as though there's not much variety in the dynamics of the soundtrack. I feel like they needed some quieter, simpler moments to contrast the big, powerful numbers so that they have more impact. I was expecting this film to explore topics like equality and being proud of who you are. And while they sort of touched on these, they were never really explored properly. In particular, the romance in the film that could have easily been an exploration of racial segregation preventing the couple from being together, but it was just never really developed and was instead just a very shallow, half-hearted romantic sub-plot with no real impact. I spent the whole film feeling as though it was missing something stylistically and it took me a while to figure out what that was. It was missing an element of madness in the way that it was filmed. When I think of the circus I think of garish colours, loud noises and a bit of chaos. However I didn't feel chaotic to me. It was as if they needed to take some inspiration from Baz Luhrmann's style in films like Moulin Rouge where it does feel a bit mad but it fits the setting so well. But everything felt too polished and nice and it just made it seem unbelievable. Overall it wasn't terrible but I felt as though it had the potential to be so much better.",5 "Shahrukh khan plays two characters in the movie (fan and star) . Performance of Shahrukh khan is brilliant. Some people didn't like the movie but they don't think about the story line and the emotions of the fan. The people didn't feel the movie. They only considered it as a simple and a boring drama movie. It also contains a tragic end that's why it is also not liked. The real fans of Shahrukh khan would love it. The only mistake was there was no fan anthem in the movie. At last THE MOVIE IS OUTSTANDING.",10 The movie is extra ordinary and the whole cast and crew done the level best for thi movie and IAM NAZVIN AND IAM NOT A TERRORIST.,10 "They could have hired someone to write a better plot instead of spending all that money on bullets! No twists, very flat, one tone movie -- very predictable and lame",2 "This beautiful film narrates the story of Steven Spielberg's youth and, more specifically, how his passion for cinema blossomed and became a profession. In the same way as in anybody's life, Spielberg's (in the film Sam) passions and life chouces are deeply linked to his upbringing and to his relationship with his parents. He was born and raised in a family of well educated Jewish immigrants, his father was an engineer, whereas his mother was a musician, a stunning artistic figure, torn by her drive to follow her own passions. Sam's mother is played stunning Michelle Williams, who plays a character lost in time, divided by reason and desires, and ultimately following the latter. There is something mystique and mysterious about her, every movement she makes is a piece of art... The photography and soundrack are really good and help make this film a must - watch!",8 "The message of the movie is simple: if you're rich, you're bad. Maybe even evil. What's funny is that creators of this movie must be rather wealthy, which makes the whole affair rather hypocritical. What saves this picture at least to some extent is good acting and a feeling of suspense, as you wonder what will happen next. After the last scene, however, I felt disappointed - is that all? Where did that strange devotion to the Chef come from? It's not explained. If the writers wanted to use this movie as a vehicle to repent their wealth ""sins"", that vehicle, despite being operated by a skillful crew, went nowhere.",4 Theres absolutely no context in this movie. The initial comboybukser scene is horrible with a slow giant. Whole movie is a cliche with bad acting and bad action scenes in abundance,2 "Oddly, I find myself agreeing with most of the reviews here, both good and bad. I've read the book but must read it again to check the bits where the film differs. The film is a poor reflection of the book so if you haven't read the book, I urge you read it before watching the movie - or buy the book and see just how much is missing in the film! The trailer for this movie is flash bang wallop sex and violence. The film is better than that, just. For me, disappointment with the film revolves around the lack of depth to the romance between the Sparrow and the American agent. In the book there is tenderness within the relationship, challenged by the undercover motives driving the story. For me this was missing. A quick bonk does not equate to a heartfelt longing sufficient to put your life and undercover operation at risk - well not in my experience anyway! Also missing is the relevance of the search for the Russian mole and the American agent's desire to safeguard his identity. Both are pivotal to the ongoing story. There is too much torturing, after all, this film is rated 15 (though these days fifteen year olds can probably handle it!) I saw the film in the cinema and I heard someone in the audience say 'I don't think I can take much more of this.' However, there is one standout scene where our heroine and the American agent are in confrontation with the assassin and in this instance, the violence is justified and balances the torture quite nicely! For those who have read the book, the end of the film differs from the book in a rather odd way but I will say no more. Also, for readers of the book, missing from the film is Dominika's ability to see auras and read the mood and sincerity of people she encounters. Unfortunately Jennifer Lawrence is not my idea of the sparrow and as someone has pointed out, she goes through the entire film with only one expression. Would I recommend it? Yes and no! I found the book to be one of the best spy novels but I don't think this film lives up to it. However, as a bit of gratuitous knockabout nonsense, it's ok. Read the book! As a complete aside from Red Sparrow, Joel Edgerton, who plays the American agent, would make an excellent 'Jack Reacher', much better than diminutive Tom Cruise.",3 "Get ready for a whole lot of waiting. Loads of inconsequential indulgent scenes of people doing mundane things and poses. Like that crap called Birdman, every film by Denis Villeneuve and many Netflix series, this is a self-indulgent wankathon with no real story. But hey got some big names so it's ok right?",4 "Watch it, some of the best acting I've ever seen to date. And this movie is over 30 years old.",10 "I will give 7 for the entirety . Johnny Depp 10/10.",7 "David O. Russell has lost his touch with reality. He USED to be a decent filmmaker. Those days are long gone. This is a goulash of disrespect, disheveled nothingness and an insult to good filmmaking. For a man who has a child who has a disability, O'Russell has abandoned all sensitivity to the realities of disabilities, debilitating injury and lives changed forever by war. Why did he see it necessary to have a sick scene where these ridiculous characters make light of brave men and women who fought in the war, were injured and permanently disfigured? I have nothing else that I want to say about this POS film. Except I used to actually have respect for O'Russell, that is gone. And Christian Bale, I once had respect for you as an actor, it will be a long time before I will feel that way again. I was a fan... the operative term being WAS.",1 It's a stupid movie I didn't find anything amusing and different I've seen better movies than this.,1 "The visuals in the first third of the movie are stunning. But then the story gets in the way. The multi-layered experience of the characters is so spoiled by all the crashes, shooting, and gratuitous action/violence. DiCaprio is doing a lot of weird stuff these days. See Shutter Island, for example. And he is better than this. I think this movie was made for adolescent boys. In the screening I saw they made up 2/3 of the audience. And they loved it. But I didn't hear any girls or women praising it. Altogether the cast was very good but they had little to do except go with the narrative. And it's a poor narrative. Boo.",3 "Truth is always disturbed but not defeated. Truth is a vision, not a shortcut. So the length of the move is long. And if something new happens, change has to happen, so everyone has got used to watching movies for two and a half hours.",10 "The only people that seem to have a problem with movie that I am find seem to be about the violence , gore , swearing I really don't care about those things, it was pretty well made and written movie that I felt basically nothing watching , I will definitely watch it again because I really don't get all the praise this movie gets there really was anything to of the ordinary other than Tarantino's dialogue, I hope I like or at least understand it more when I am older and rewatch it",6 "Let's transfer what happens in this Witcher series (Season 2) to a comparable franchise: The Lord of the Rings is a very successful book that has been lovingly adapted into another medium, a film, close to the book and with great attention to detail, which was also very successful. Now let's imagine someone would want to build on these successes and create a Lord of the Rings series. In this series, Frodo and Aragorn are portrayed very well, but that's where it ends. Gandalf is no longer a magician because he simply lost his ability during the fight against the Balrog. The Rohirrim are now partly Africans who ride elephants (the Haradrim apparently still exist somewhere in the world). Sympathetic male secondary characters are rewritten as unsympathetic, while the young beautiful Arwen is now more of the middle-aged maternal type and the main villain is not Sauron, but the wicked witch from Hansel and Gretel who was simply squeezed into the story. And now imagine that there are quite a few people who cheer this work ... hopefully because they have never heard of Lord of the Rings before.... Positive: Negative:",1 "This is highly entertaining, it doesn't really address politics at all thank goodness. It's a brilliant existential comedy very well written. It touches lightly on consciousness/soul but there is clearly something happening to the two main protagonists and their behaviors are having an impact directly or indirectly on those in their sphere of life...there is nothing apocalyptic or butterfly effect going on. I don't want to reveal spoilers because comedies these days are rare, especially clever ones that can be non-pc without offending anyone accept English Grammar Fascists. Pending season 2...I reduced this from a solid 9 because the core concept is a darkening of, and expansion of Bill Murray's ""Groundhog Day"". I was worried there wouldn't be a second season. Perhaps Netflix needs to evaluate the amount invested in original productions at a slower pace.",8 "Interesting concept, but too far fetched to be the least bit realistic. Like most people, I like Sandra Bullock, but not THAT much. I guess I expect too much from movies.",6 I couldn't stop watching the show as soon as I put the first episode on. Scary to think what the future would hold for mankind if any of the episodes would correctly predict it,9 "Most weeks episodes since this has started, I'm waiting with anticipation of it kicking in a gear and being interesting! And so far, nothing. I've watched more entertaining news broadcasts than this. Then each week I tell myself one more episode. If it doesn't kick in I won't watch, and each week same thing. Maybe the show directors want to bore us to tears. The lack luster actors, the fact Damon barely speaks is ridiculous. I try not to compare it to GOT but frankly it's pants, and I hate that I'm saying that, but honestly. Kick in a gear because so far I'm staying up to watch it and at 2am I'm bored to tears. Please.. don't make me watch another bore off episode. I want to be entertained, not getting my crocheting out to count my stitches!",3 "The fact that this movie was a box office juggernaut AND attempted to demonstrate how we need to let people be who they are without expectations and limitations based on gender. I have to admire anyone who can make an entertaining and fun film that also has big ideas to get across. Most ""message"" films are excruciating and long. Barbie gets to the point and does it in a way that is an entertaining and surprising ride. The performances are big and genuine, and the films design is also eye popping and delightful. The Billy Eilish song is an awesome and perfectly fitting. Its very enjoyable and the audiences at both performances that I attended were really enjoying it.",9 "The first series of this show, I did not click with. As much as it sets up the characters, I found it to be mehh. I didn't overly care what happened to any of the characters. Then I watched season 2 and I was hooked almost straight away. The second series made me care about each and every character. It has a good mix of humour and dark moments, which feels refreshing compared to the first season. If you stopped at the first series, please just give the second series a try.",8 "Among the most boring films I've ever had the discomfort to sit through. The interaction between Bill Murray and the young bored wife was interesting but not enough to carry a feature. The views of the rooftops of Japan and the gal's bedroom (split between her sitting at her window or laying on her bed in her panties and a t-shirt), just weren't captivating. The sad part was that absolutely nothing happened...no resolution, no great epiphany, no plot. Two boring hours of light interaction between two bored adults. I could go watch the neighbors watch tv and be as entertained. Now, please, don't attack me for being shallow, not ""getting it"" or any of the other trite, artsy, or in vogue putdowns from the supposedly cranial elite. Just wasn't fun or entertaining!",1 "For more reviews, visit cinegrade.org In the past few months there have been many reasons to be excited for the sequel to 2011's ""Captain America: The First Avenger."" From Black Widow's promised prominence in the plot to the intrigue of how Captain America himself will adjust to the modern world, the hype for this movie has been overwhelming to say the least. On top of that were the glowing early reviews, some of which saying that ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" is even better than ""The Avengers."" I'm sure the question on everyone's minds is: ""does this live up to the hype?"" You bet. The sheer amount of suspense and political intrigue in ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" would make it a fine sequel on its own. However, not only does this film manage to surpass the excellent first installment, but in some ways surpass ""The Avengers."" Taking place after the events of 2012's ""The Avengers,"" Captain Steve Rogers (played by Chris Evans reprising his role) struggles to adapt to a world shrouded in fear and obsessed with security. Now working for the government organization S.H.I.E.L.D, Rogers faces the conflict of being ill-informed of his recruiters' ulterior motives and hidden agendas. The retro, simplistic era of the 1940s is far behind him, and Rogers must use his skills and wits to take down a possible conspiracy inside of S.H.I.E.L.D. Coming along for the ride are Black Widow (played reliably well by Scarlett Johansson) and newcomer The Falcon (played by Anthony Mackie of ""Pain and Gain""). Together they must take down a force none of them expected to face. Unlike previous Marvel films like ""The Avengers,"" and ""Thor,"" the plot of this movie is much more down-to-Earth. In today's world of NSA controversy and outright paranoia, many plot elements in this film give it a very modern and relevant feel. In many ways, this is a stark contrast to the retro, swashbuckling feel that the first ""Captain America"" gave off. This is a perfect way to tell the Captain's story; Steve Rogers has been thrust into the modern day against his will, and after the fantastical events of ""The Avengers,"" he is just now starting to be affected by today's mentality of security. It's indeed very interesting plot foundation for a superhero film. As well as being a fine continuation of the first film's story, the new elements that this film brings to the ""Captain America"" series are quite good enough for the film to stand on its own. Even those who didn't care for the first movie could get a kick out of them. Among the new characters is The Hawk, an ex-military superhero introduced in this film. This character is immensely likable, partly because of Anthony Mackie's fine performance, but mostly because they introduce him from the very beginning and flesh out his character. Also joining the cast is veteran actor Robert Redford as the sinister Alexander Pierce. Redford is the type of villain that is rather refreshing to see in a superhero film: villains unaided by superpowers or violence and who carry the story with wits and malice alone. He doesn't need a mech-suit or psychic abilities, but he is a fine menace for the First Avenger to go up against. In addition to the fine new characters, every action set piece in this movie is both exhilarating and an absolute thrill to watch. What makes them even better is that they are accompanies by a gripping story with plenty of shocking and even emotional twists and turns. Even after seeing aliens invade New York in ""The Avengers,"" this movie's more grounded approach to storytelling gives a sense that the stakes are higher than ever in the Marvel Universe. Fear not though, this movie is far from a dark one, and there is plenty of that good ole' Marvel humor to give some levity. I'm pretty sure that audiences won't be prepared for how intense the story alone is. It's not very common that audiences get an April movie that's not only great, but exceptional. ""Captain America: Winter Soldier"" is indeed a masterpiece, and as much of a bold statement as it seems, it is one of the best superhero movies I have ever seen. The amount of sheer quality it possesses makes it an absolute must-see.",10 "They could have made this a classic. Acting was 2nd rate. Sciot, 2nd rate. A damn shame.",4 This was my favourite series this year until a disappointing penultimate and final episode with limited thought or excitement. Could have been stronger in the end,7 Iam really very happy to say Indian cinema can do wonders with a good story. Hatsoff to uri movie unit. Every character is portrayed in excellent manner. Iam again saying please watch the movie in theatres,10 "Full disclosure. I have played, and love all of the games. I have also read, and love all eight of the books. With such a rich trove of storylines to pull from, I really cannot understand how this turned out to be such a misfire. All the nuance, and depth of the books is gone. The episodes play like cookie cutter cliffnotes. Even worse however are the storylines/details that the show runners themselves made up on their own (Yennefer's agonizingly hokey backstory) or remixed from the books to serve their narrative (the dryads of brokilon). The biggest two issues with the show however can be found in the lead, and the production values. I'm not sure if it was the showrunners, or Henry Cavill who decided to do an impression of the way Geralt is voice acted in the video game. It was a disastrous decision. He could've chosen to put his own stamp on the character, but no. Cavill's attempt to mimic the video game's monotone gravel is so dull and poorly done that it almost seems like it's joke. This isn't even accounting for the fact that his costume looks like bad cosplay. Every time he came on screen, I wanted to turn the show off. While I do think it's impossible to get past his performance, it might've been made better if the whole thing didn't look like a SYFY channel show. Everything looks cheap, and the effects are shockingly awful. Incredibly disappointing, but Netflix will keep churning it out.",1 "Although I believe the hype overshadowed the movie, I still liked it. The best part was how it created such a conversation after you watched the movie. I think most people ended up watching it again.",7 "In this corner the champ ""Rocky III"". In this corner, the inadvertent remake ""Southpaw"". Gentlemen, keep the blows low and the fight dirty. BEGIN! Round 1: Main character name. The champ comes out swinging with the titular title character ""Rocky"" invoking a time, place and ethnicity. The laughably bland main character name in ""South"" - Billy ""The Great"" Hope - sounds the writers were trying to come up with some intriguing name but eventually principal filming needed to start and they couldn't answer the question ""The Great"" what? Did they mean he is the Great Hope? But not the Great White Hope with it implicit kinda racist overtones? Anyway, few real boxer nicknames and no movie boxer nicknames can stand again the memorability of the ""Italian Stallion"". And the challenger is down and the fight end early! Round 2: the kid: The challenger avoids the early knockout with Oona (that's a name?) Laurence's portrayal of Billy the Goat...er Great's daughter who is traumatized by the shooting death of her mother and Billy's incompetent parenting. While Laurence winds up just shouting at the televised climatic fight much like Ian Fried's Rocky, Jr. does, at least she has a character arc and some dramatic moment. Looks like the fight is on. Round 3: the death that pushes the champion into a downward spiral: and we got ourselves a battle! We had 2 fully ""Rocky"" movies to come to know Burgess Meredith's Mickey Goldmill so his heart attack before the first Clubber Lang fight is affecting. However, given how much Billy and Leila rely on Maureen to parent them both, her shooting by Miguel Escobar's squad equals the pathos of Mickey's death. Round 4: the baddie: Oh, and the champion comes back hard! The monster of 80's cheese Mr. T. somehow projects both a menacing and ludicrous screen presence. He plays the hungry, scrappy underdog that Rocky was before his Ferrari and house robot made him soft. Miguel ""Magic"" Escobar amounts to little more than off-the-shelf disrespectful thug with little to distinguish him from his crew. Round 5: the savior trainer: But the challenger isn't done yet! The excellent Forest Whitaker plays the also unfortunately named Tick Willis (seriously, who came up with these character names?) He is kind to street kids and who takes on Billy when he is at his lowest point despite Billy treating him like crap and he is some kind of boxing training savant (his expertise is never explained). While the round goes to ""Southpaw"", Carl Weathers Apollo Creed (see, that's a great character name) is a mostly one note Rocky support system for Rocky but his physical attractiveness and easy smile makes his a highly engaging actor to watch on film. Round 6: the big fight: And the challenger is against the ropes! The eventual Escobar Vs. Hope or ""Magic"" Vs. ""The Great"" battle excels at verisimilitude and therefore not so much at drama. An open Hollywood secret director Antoine Fuqua missed in film school is that while audiences complain about the lack of realism in movie boxing matches, they actually want them to include dozens of uncontested punches per round. Balboa Vs. Lang includes enough haymakers to give both men CTE before the ring girl strutted around the ring with the ""4"" card. When Jim Lampley's monolouging during the climatic Miguel / Hope showdown is the most interesting part of the proceedings, your fight staging is a little too accurate. And the challenger is out! There won't be no rematch or a ""Southpaw"" sequel for that matter. The plodding, overly serious, staging of a story that's been done better multiple times before unfortunately wastes Gyllenhaal's impressive physical transformation. In short, ""Rocky!"", ""Rocky!"", Rocky!""",4 "Two families of people; one poor, poorly educated; unemployed, and willing to lie to get money. The other wealthy, loving family, existing in their own world. What happens when they cross paths? Well, for one, a weird ending that didn't fit w/the rest of the story. Overall impression: I'm not going to remember this movie unlike, first & foremost, ""The Lighthouse"", then ""Once Upon a Time ..."", ""Joker"", and ""Judy"". Relative to the those creations I'm not sure why this movie garnered so many awards.",4 "I have watched most of this and enjoyed it, but the lighting keeps getting darker. I imagine it is a purposeful choice by the producers who are probably high on Art-house and the smell of their own farts, but by episode 7 the show is simply unwatchable. It is just black shapes moving around on a black background. I cannot see anything that is happening, and by episode 8, at the rate this is going, it will be an audio book. I really wish that Hollywood would pull their heads out of their self-aggrandizing behinds and make shows for their audiences instead of for themselves and their own sense of artistic arrogance.",6 "Season 1: 9/10 Season 2: 7/10. Season 2 was pretty good nothing against it just not as shocking as the first.",8 "It's like a trend these days of showcasing genre's of supernatural, fantasy, action, magic and drama. To name a few, be it Stranger things or GOT or the series on amazon prime Carnival Row. Maybe fantasy is in boom. However, this show did some justice to whatever is showcased. It had a good thrill, action all around was good be it sword fight or magical punches, cinematography and set location had work done and yes, I liked the character of Henry Cavil, the Witcher. What I din't appreciated was the boredom in between of building story, concept felt a bit copied and a sudden shifts in story telling. You had to correlate things to understand what's happening. Not saying its not worth a try but here it felt painful. 8 stars from me.",8 "8.5 Haven't read the books or played the game, so I had 0 expectations going in, but I was not disappointed! The CGI was good enough for me and the story kept me engaged the entire time. I do have one question, but I'm sure I can find the answer if I look. Enjoy.",8 "One thing I love about this series is the characters. When the trio are always together, they create chemistry. I have to commend Selena's brilliant performance here. I thought that choosing Selena Gomez as a co-lead actress with the comedy legends, will not work very well. However, I underestimated this woman and turns out she's doing what I want her to do. Never expected to love this show at first, but I'm saying it right now - watching this show is a must. It is definitely one of the best shows released by HULU and one of the best TV shows of this year!",10 "I was so relieved to find all these thousands of reviews confirming what I thought every 5 seconds watching this visually arresting show. But sadly it is the writers that should be arrested and locked away. Why would these actors agree to say these ridiculous lines and act ways no human ever would? Here's a line for any of the actors "" mr director, are you out of your mind? You want me to say what?"" I especially feel bad for the Will Robinson actor/ character. He is going to need therapy for decades to learn this is not the way young men think or act. This should be considered child abuse. Its certainly actor and audience abuse. I sure hope they made lots of money the first season so like many hundreds above have said, hire real writers. If not, I'm available!",1 "I figured with an IMDB rating of 7.1 this would be decent. Briefly checking out the trailer, it looked like some mindless action fun mixed with some comedy, and a good way to spend the evening but wow, it REALLY was mindless. I really struggled to finish watching this because of how disappointing it was. Absolutely nothing made sense, you truly have to suspend your belief a lot, like way more than you would with other movies, for it to be anywhere near ""believable"" and to be able to get into and enjoy the story. I'm not sure what this says about the general population today when the majority of people actually seemed to have enjoyed this. All in all it felt like it was made for 12 year olds.",3 "Very forgettable. Tarantino's 9th film is filled with zero plot, no witty dialogue and a rather boring turn of events",2 "This is the best animation series , i have ever seen. the idea of using all the elements is common but a hero who has the ability of using all the elements and become the medium of creating a balance among the four clans is amazing. There are many dragon ball fans. But i think if dragon ball can get more than 9 rating in IMDb, Avatar the last air bender and the legend of korra is supposed to get 10+ rating. It has very good storyline, background and powerful villains. The suspense it creates at the end of each episode is amazing. Anyone thinking of watching this can surely start watching. I can guarantee you'll not be bored.",10 "Can somebody explain what the story is just so boring and pointless, clutching at straws making these stupid films just wasted 2 hours of my precious time.",3 "Took me 3 attempts to finish this movie. The dialogue!!!! Oh my god, was the script written by a 12 year old? The continuity errors, the plot or lack there of - the cringey jokes. It was just sooooo bad!! It was a chore in the end to finish the bloody thing. I usually quite like a daft, switch off your brain type action movie. But this was just painful. 2 stars only for the effects and stunts. The rest, forget it. Avoid.",2 "The Punisher is a well-known anti-hero among other superheroes in Marvel universe but this series is not part of Disney's MCU at least for now. The Punisher has not any kind of super abilities unlike most of the marvel characters. Although I don't read much comic books, I had known the character from its earlier movie adaptations. Since I watched the 2004 version in my childhood it is a special character for me. Before I start to watch this series, I was kind of hesitant to start because I was dissapointed so many works that are released in Netflix but fortunately, this series matched with my expectations. Castings were great choices in the series. I had already known Jon Bernthal from movies like Snitch, Wolf of Wall street and the Last year's Ford V Ferrari and generally and he was playing supportive characters. In this series Jon Bernthal carries the show with his performance as Frank Castle. Amber Rose, Ben Barnes, Jason Moore also were good in their performances as supportive characters. Although, I didn't know them before the series, I really satisfied with their performances. Violence dose was satisfying because we know that The Punisher is a very merciless character when he needs to be. Action scenes mostly were successful too. On the other hand, I must mention the things that I didn't like firstly, after 1st season's finale, the creators stretched 1st season's plot to the second season and it is a kind of cheap move in terms of scenario. Villains of the series are very cliche so they lack the depth in terms of compelling villains. Frank, Billy and Curtis characters could have had more screen time when they were in the army. In the second season, if I ignore plot holes, I must mention that dr. Durmont actions don't make sense at all and in 2nd season screenwriters were sucked in some ways. I won't give any detail because every action genre watcher should see the series. It has a rare quality among most Netflix productions. If someone wants to watch an action series and s/he has a Netflix subscription The Punisher is one of the best options I can suggest to that audience.",8 "I wanted to see a feel good movie and I've heard about people being pronounced dead and came back to life, but this movie made it seem so improbable that the only thing that would have made sense if the kid started to eat people after he came back to life.",2 No doubt this is the best war/ military movie made in india.,8 "I loved both Spider Man and Spiderman 2! Spider Man 2 was definitely worth the wait! It was action packed, it was just great! Great performances by all of the actors in this movie! But watch the Spider Man before you go out and see Spider Man 2, you'll be confused and asking others questions after the movie (much like my grandfather did because he hasn't seen Spider Man yet! =P But that's OK...) I gave it 10 out of 10!!! I highly recommend it!",10 Nothing compared to the previous Lion King. Facial expressionless.Only thing going for it was the realistic looking animals. Not even characters. Maybe Timon is the exception.,3 "Review of Season One: This was a real treat and by far my favourite superhero show. An out-and-out satire of modern America, taking broad swipes at consumerism, celebrity, religion, politics, big business, big pharma, you name it. Very well acted (Karl Urban gets the role of his career) and with every episode packed with twists, good characters, action, bloodshed, you name it. I bingewatch this and loved it. Review of Season Two: I was worried this one wouldn't match the first but it did. The story expands, the action and mayhem is ramped up, the new characters leave a real impression, and all of the good stuff from the first season is back. Looking forward to the third... Review of Season Three: I was a little worried about this third season when it first started. It felt like the freshness was gone to be replaced by the crudity and forced outrageousness that marred PREACHER. However, after a few episodes this finds its feet with the introduction of a great new character, some strong acting and all of the twists and political intrigue we know and love.",9 "That's like nothing you will ever seen in your life, that's not just a normal tv show that's the Definition of a masterpiece From the great character writing with how deep we get inside every one even those little characters aside have a really good writing and idea's that's the main villains in other works don't have To the stunning beautiful cinematography with every shot I can't just believe how something can be this dark and beautiful at the same time! Especially if you like Dark colours So Hannibal is a really unique tv show with a great writing by a genius along with stunning cinematography with in every shot So watch that dark masterpiece~",10 "I kind of loved the original setup from the first episode, even though all true sci-fi fans wonders how a spaceship with this level of technology can ""crash"" when attempting to land, considered that the real life spaceships already can land today. Thats just the first of many details that could have been written in a more believable way with the same outcome, which would make the show feel less dumb and meant for kids and/or a very young audience. Also, Parker Posey's role as Dr. Smith was poorly acted and a bad written character, which didn't bring anything interesting to the table and almost had me stop watching the show for a while. It simply doesn't make sense for her to behave like she does, and she has no real motivation or storyline that makes her actions feel interesting or believable. She's also no ""real"" threat to anyone, which leads to her not bringing anything to the table except for a constant annoyance and poorly acted scenes. Without her the show would've been at least a 8/10, but with her in it I'll give it a 6/10. Such a shame for an otherwise good show, really.",6 U will Definitely Enjoy.. Avoid Bigil (Trash bin) .. Go with Kaithi Pakka mass ... Diwali Winner Kaithi... With Family .. croud pullerr....,10 "Long and boring, like staring into a kaliedoscope for 2 hours... I actually nodded off at one point, which just goes to show, non-stop CGI and zero plot does not a movie make. It would probably be a great watch if you were tripping, but it sure wasn't engauging on any level. Even Cumberbatch was reduced to just doing continual 'straining' facial expressions like he had really really bad constipation. I guess its just for kids and adults with a similar mental age... Luckily for us, our local cinema is very cheap!",2 As above As aboveAs above................................................. .....,5 "This is to save people like me 3+ hours of their lives. If this writing and acting did not take place in the beautiful Avatar world I would give it 2.5 stars. If you wanted the sequel to build on the story of the first part instead of repeat it with a new coat of paint, you will feel (like me) severely disappointed. It was like they spent everything on special effects and then bought the story on Fiverr. I sat there in disbelief waiting for the time to pass. There is close to no character development, the dialogues are short and uninspired, the values transmitted are surprisingly outdated e.g. What is the role of a father. I really wanted to like it, but cannot recommend seeing it to anyone who needs a decent plot to like a movie.",4 "7.5/10 The film builds up on a somewhat John wick movie structure not in terms of tone or story but on an action based plot of getting from point a to b without too much established storytelling. Knowing that, the action is spectacular throughout and the movie is surprisingly emotional. The cinematography throughout the action sequences is executed beautifully with long takes that dont leave out anything out of the picture.",7 "This movie was very popular among fans of previous Harry-Potter series, and as a person who had never watched one of them, I didn't expect the movie to be so amusing. It was actually very fun to watch it and good for spending extra time. The movie has very well-made visual effects and I could see how much money would've been spent on it. I had wished to have watched it in the cinemas. However, the plot proved it to be just one of those big-budget fantasy movie. So do not watch it for the story, I would say. The story line is very predictable and unoriginal, but I liked some scenes that were visually wonderful or humorous. It was also very interesting to see all the fantastic beasts that have peculiar characteristics- I wish there would've been more story about how he got them and what they are like. Overall, I did like the movie, and I would love to see the sequel of this one.",7 I Love HP.

However, nothing keeps you engaged. There are loop holes and what is happening here kind of scenes. A dull movie!!",5 "This got better and better with each episode. The casting is really good. There is real talent here. My complaint is that I'd prefer it were less campy and more ""realistic"". This includes less formulaic storylines and tension points. But it is a bit of a throwback and I'm okay with that, as little big as it doesn't get more campy.",8 "Honestly, there's been a lot of straight up garbage out there for over a year and a half now. So - it's been truly nice to actually have something new to look forward to watch each week. I mean ... to really look forward to. Although I found the last episode a little underwhelming, the other six were absolutely good enough to carry this thru to a solid 8. Kate Winslet was great and, as anyone living in the Delaware Valley will tell you, was absolutely believable as if she's been living here all her life. Bravo!",8 Tom Hardy is a really good choice. But everything else is rubbish. Terrible storytelling. Very disappointed.,5 "I have read quite a few book about Chernobyl. From 1991 edition of The Truth About Chernobyl by Grigori Medvedev, 2018 Chernobyl & Chernobyl: The History of a Nuclear Catastrophe by Serhii Plokhii, Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higginbotham, Voices of Chernobyl by Svetlana Alexevich to amazing Chernobyl: Manual for Survival by Kate Brown. Two of those where used for sure by screen-writer of HBO miniseries during his work on this title. My main conclusion is - life is far more interesting and complicated than fiction. I am not sure why Craig Maizn changed few important facts as first thing, Russians knew about design flaws of RMBK, and they have admitted to this in Vienna conference! There is recording where Legasov is asked by western journalist about flaws in design and answers that this type of reactor is should not be chosen for Chernobyl NPP as it's not safe! Of course he downplayed construction flaws and emphasized errors of the operators, but he didn't lie. They have lied about it, to public inside the Soviet Union - completely opposite as in series! They have chose this type of reactor as it was cheaper to build but they where not fools and lots of figures at Kurchatov knew about various flaws of design, it was game of politics, power and corporate culture (yes corporate culture as soviets where not real communists they where owners of Soviet Union, acting like huge flawed corporation with huge corrupted clerical apparatus. With hundreds of officials, apparatchiks fighting for power and influence and money). Why have they built nuclear power stations Ignalina, Smolensk, Obninsk and the Chernobyl NPP at Ukraine in the first place? Because they where selling gas, oil and high class coal to the western Europe and other countries but still needed power for internal market! HBO Chernobyl starts as good thriller but with every part it looses grip on story and thrills goes in wrong direction to flawed weak finale - naive and simplified so it hurts every thinking person who knows anything about those events! And what is worse they could stic to the facts and still have amazing movie! Why do oversimplify? Maybe its move for US internal market? Where customer is used to simple stories like Russians are to lies of their governments up to this date. But I have to admit that production design, department responsible for stage design costumes and props has done amazing job! Everything looks like it should look! I was born in 1981 in Poland, and I remember bits of this reality they where ecactly like presented in Chernobyl. Those buildings, cars, children school uniforms even shoe bags. Interiors, way they are dressed or even their haircuts! And for this kind of movie it is very important! In Poland we had softer version of regime but still reality looked prerry similar (as in almost every comunist country). I must admit that I am amazed by this, chapeu bas! Good work gus! So, 10 stars for production design, 10 for music, five for screenplay gives us 8,3 score overall. Next time please try harder when it comes to storyline do not simplyfy - real events where realy amazing amd in series you have enough tine to execute the story.",8 "Started off amazing. I gave the first season a 9/10, and even enjoyed the second even though I was left wanting. However, the third was trash. Only the first couple seasons keeps my rating up to a 6/10- but last season is really a 3/10. I only ever read one book of The Witcher years ago, so I didn't care as much about source material as others- but bad writing is bad writing. Such a waste of potential. It makes sense why Cavill left the project. I'm unsure if they still renewed this for a 4th season, but I won't be watching it & I am positive it will be the last. Where these writers got the idea they could write a better story than a NYT bestseller, I do not know, but hopefully it's obvious to them now that they failed miserably.",6 "Ant-man, the movie that I thought would be an amazing addition to the marvel series. Marvel movies have been a seamless hit for the past 3 years with the top titles like iron man and the avengers. Ant-Man left me dissatisfied and wishing they followed the story line of the comic books. The start of the movie was pretty accurate, but as you kept going they changed the plots to fit humor and get as much entertainment out of it as possible. Not all of it was bad though, For people who don't know the story lines and history of the comics for Ant-Man, it would be a way better experience. I do recommend this movie as it was a good movie to watch. But it left me wishing they would have gone more in depth with the characters and the plot lines.",4 "This film looks very similar to John Rambo series. Firstly, the plot is very simple like in all fis about saving lifes. Secondly, the cast is good but Cris Hamsworth played well, I believe him. His character is a man who struggles with his own past and fears. Thirdly, the action itself is good, action scenes take a long tome, fighting looks very realistic. Don't miss the final scene, it has some surprise. So, it's good actoin film for people who likes film with fighting and action.",7 "If I was to rate this show purely on the quality of the animation, I would have rated it an 8, a 9? Maybe. As the quality of animation goes, it is pretty solid and doesn't give any reason to complain. That said, it is not surreal or anything. It is good. Solid. The stars have been docked for several reasons which I am going to succinctly list. 1. Long previews of previous episode, plus an extra long opening and end credits. These take away almost 5 minutes of a 25 minutes show, and after a few episodes, they are grating. 2. Too many asides. The story relies heavily on lines spoken by characters to the audience, and they are not succinct. They are repetitive, tedious, and verbose. 3. Lacks a strong story line. The story is pedestrian and predictable and once again, very repetitive. There is barely anything that will make you wait for the next episode. 4. The characters are flat and you absolutely do not connect or feel for them even towards the end. If you want to watch an anime that you do not have to pay attention to while you are doing something else, this is great. If you are expecting something like Avatar: The Last Airbender or even Korra, which I rate much lower than ATLA, stay away.",6 "Great fan of the novel as much as of the video game, I confess to being rather disappointed by the series. Despite a good script and quite successful special effects, the series lacks substance. I regret that the irreverent humour present in the original novel/game has completely disappeared to give way to a politically correct narrative. But what bothers me the most is the totally wacky choice of the casting crew regarding the iconic character of Yennefer. Why did they choose an actress devoid of charisma and not particularly pretty (even ugly) to play the sublime witch? With a prognathic chin, a big nose and an almost permanent strabismus, the Yennefer of the series does not reach the ankle of her video game alter-ego. Her soppy interpretation is also not up to the task and really lacks credibility. And that ruins everything!",6 The main idea in the movie is weak and needed to be more clear. And it was long for no reason The emotional element is very very weak and felt like Sandra bullok isn't the best actress for such movie. It is waste of time.,4 "I was the same age of the characters in 1985 and love the nostalgia and excellent attention to detail, but the use of corporate logos is HEAVY, product placement high and royalties to Madonna looking pretty steep.",7 "Up to a point I was happy enough to give my hard earned cash to Disney for entertaining my kids. Not after this one. This was a soulless dud, ruined by a lack of emotion, ridiculously poor voice acting and almost complete absence of humour. I ended up walking out and having a coffee while the kids finished watching the movie. And what was their reaction at the end? Both have seen the original one many times, and both thought the new one was boring, and the jokes weren't even funny. Think about it. Lion King - BORING. Thanks Disney, and thanks Jon Favreau. So, going forward, this family won't be spending a cent on any live action remakes by Disney. And I suggest neither does yours.",3 "I was blown away by the reviews. I liked the sound of the concept. I bought the DVD. I turned it off half way through and binned it. This is awful.....Oooh so it's got a big name cast....So what! The 3 marks I have given are solely for the concept. It's new and original, and that deserves credit. But for me it was so painful to watch. To keep viewers to speed of what is happening in other parts of the story, Jack Bauer is constantly on his mobile phone. This started to annoy me. Then the storyline started to become unbelievable, re the lady contract killer who parachutes to her rendezvous for just one example. Then the incredibly bad acting/direction from the guy who appears to be a normal American business man, who when put under the slightest interrogation suddenly starts speaking in an eastern European accent....What happened to his perfect American accent.....Sorry, I'm not overly keen on Keither Sutherland anyway, maybe that didn't help... but I cannot for the life of me see how anybody thought this was good!",3 "Marvel fans could be described as passionate and intense, yet they weren't exactly demanding that a second Venom movie be released. Despite this, now we have VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE, a movie that is created with decent enough concepts and intentions, but which, in execution, ends up being one of the uninspired and difficult to stomach superhero films of the past couple of years. The Disney superhero films are known for their use of awkward humor, for better or for worse -- LET THERE BE CARNAGE, a Sony-produced film, makes Marvel look like comedic geniuses by delivering an onslaught of flat and downright boring comedy that makes this Venom film come across as the worst buddy comedy since the Will Ferrell Sherlock Holmes movie. The previous Venom movie -- which, although by no means great, looks amazing in comparison to its sequel -- included a decent amount of humor that revolved around Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock, a struggling journalist, and Venom, a parasitic alien who attaches himself to Brock and begins a strange friendship with him while supplying superpowers. The humor was very much a polarizing aspect of the first film, and with LET THERE BE CARNAGE, Hardy (who is both a writer and producer on the film) and crew decide to double down on the humor and get rid of almost everything else that could have made this movie even the slightest bit interesting. The film has almost no actual plot besides the relationship between Venom and Brock, and a cheesy serial-killer villain played by Woody Harrelson who also gets a symbiote similar to Venom (but more powerful somehow? This is never explained) inside him because he bites Eddie and tastes his blood. Not once was I actually invested upon either the villain or the protagonist, nor were there any stakes for any of the numerous CGI fight sequences that fill this movie. I understand that the filmmakers were looking to create a goofy and ridiculous action romp that doesn't take itself too seriously, but they neglect almost everything that makes a movie good in the process, rendering any attempt at camp moot. If one makes a ridiculous and goofy movie, and then proceeds to forget good plot, humor or characters, I don't see any point in producing said movie. None of the acting is terrible in this, but Hardy, Harrelson, and especially Michelle Williams feel as if they're trying to make the most of a script that was written without much thought or care injected into it. The expository dialogue near the beginning of the film feels like it was taken from an ""exposition dialogue generator"" that someone Googled for lack of a better source. Some of the jokes throughout this movie are somewhat funny in concept, but in execution the punchlines rarely land, making the majority of scenes feel as if the characters are part of an inside joke that nobody told you about. I must say, I was skeptical going into LET THERE BE CARNAGE for one big reason: the runtime. The movie clocks in at exactly an hour and 30 minutes, which is the shortest it can physically be while getting a theatrical release from the studio. Very few movies I have seen can make that short of a runtime work, and almost all of them are either animated films or horror films. Going in, I expected LET THERE BE CARNAGE to be a rushed and disorganized experience to some extent, and unfortunately I was spot on. The first 30 minutes seem as if the writer was trying to get through as many exposition plot elements as fast as humanly possible, making none of these elements feel believable or interesting at all. Even though I didn't want to sit in the theater with this film longer than I had to, I feel the movie would improve if 15-20 minutes were added to give the characters more weight or to give the story more of a dramatic pulse. Instead, it seems the filmmakers did the bare minimum that was possible in the storytelling department, which at the very least makes for a movie that won't waste too much of the audience's time. It seems that VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE is making more money than any film to be released since the beginning of the Covid pandemic, which makes me lose some of my faith in humanity (Although to be fair, I contributed by spending eight dollars to see this film). I am just hoping that this success doesn't mean the studio will decide to fund three more Venom films of the same quality. In about two months, I feel that the world will forget this movie existed, save for the after-credits scene, which is more interesting than the rest of the movie combined even though it makes no sense. Maybe I just have no sense of humor, but VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE struck me as one of the biggest misfires of the year from a major studio, and I very much hope that if more movies are made with these characters that they vastly improve almost everything. D.",2 "McQueen saw Django and had to make this film which, while it's more historically accurate, isn't nearly as entertaining. A bore.",1 "What is this twilight trash? It's almost laughable the rating on here, yet I scroll thru and it's nothing but awful reviews so that makes me curious as to who could possibly be giving this a good rating... Anyway, I'm just thankful I have the mental aptitude to know when I'm watching hot garbage and don't waste anymore time on it. I feel sorry for the brains that find this quality television.",1 Very very slow paced. It's not a bad thing as the acting is good. But the story fell short in so many ways and dragged on and on.,6 "I loved the first season, second season was okay, but the third season was just boring and tedious. Horrible pacing, terrible writing, and just confusing. There were only 2 episodes where I actually felt like anything happened. The rest of the episodes were total fluff. The only good thing I like about the show anymore is the casting of the 4 main characters, and the awesome combat scenes. Everything else is garbage. I doubt it will get better in season 4 considering Cavill is one of the few reasons people gave this season a try after the second one not being that great. Netflix should really re-evaluate the direction they're going in with this show.",4 "Highlighting this adaptation of the character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are the performances by the lead actors - Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law as Holmes and Watson, respectively. Both were very good and both successfully put their own unique spins on very familiar characters. Downey's Holmes is still a brilliant detective, inexplicably deducing things from the smallest clues available, but in this he's also an action figure, and a fighter, engaging in the public sport of bare knuckle brawling. In short, there's a wee hint of a darker side to the great detective that I've not come across before. Unique though that take on the character may be, I was never really convinced that I liked that take on the character. In some ways it was too unique. You have certain expectations of Sherlock Holmes, and while an action version of the character may be what's needed in a big screen production, it's still a bit jarring. But Downey was excellent in the role. No criticism of him. Law's Watson was also unique. In the stories he's the loyal assistant to Holmes - and sometimes even more brilliant than the detective himself. His brilliance is maintained here, but he's not quite as loyal in this. In fact, he's ready to bail on Holmes; he's engaged and wants out of the partnership; he's ready to move on from the cluttered office he shares with Holmes. There's also more emphasis on Watson's identity as a medical doctor here. Law also worked well in his role, and to me, the differences in the Watson character were less jarring than those in Holmes. Downey and Law and their characters aside, though, I simply was not taken in by the story, about some secret society and its leader apparently hell bent on taking over first Britain and then the world, using trickery to convince those around them that they possessed some type of supernatural power. The story was long and drawn out, and while interesting at times (and even though it did make effective use of humour throughout) I found it to be inconsistent. I have to say that I was less than enamoured with director Guy Ritchie's repeated use of slow motion to anticipate action moments that were going to happen, only to then repeat those very same action moments in normal time - which dragged this out even more. In the end, I wasn't really impressed with the movie. Downey and Law I was impressed with, but I found the story to be less than stellar in all honesty. (4/10)",4 "The Conjuring movies (1 &2) are two of my favorite horror movies. The first Annabelle movie was not great. The second one was actually very good. I did not have much by way of expectations, and this movie failed miserably to even meet those. Pacing, horrendous. No Warrens. Too many unnecessary monsters and ghosts with little to no story or purpose. Characters (especially one) doing the whole I'm-going-to-touch-this-or-go-in-here-because-I-can. Honestly, the horror is skimpy and stereotypical. Some scenes dragged on forever with no purpose. My wife, especially, was looking forward to this and is usually forgiving of bad horror movie elements, but even she called it ""trash"". Annabelle should have stayed away.",3 "Masterpiece!!!!!! One of the bests i put this one higher than first ep in my rankings.",10 "The first 4-5 episodes are truly amazing. One of the best shows of the last few years, and a really interesting take on superheroes. However, after episode 5, the series strangely plummets into average content. Bad and redundant dialogue. Boring plot points...etc. I guess most of the 10/10 ratings were given right after the first few episodes. It's impossible not to notice the hard change between the first and second half. And the season finale cliffhanger left me quite... indifferent. 10/10 for episodes 1 to 4. 3/10 for episodes 5 to 8",6 "The Judd Apatow comedy machine has ground out another one. It's middling, not as sharp and on target as 41 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, or Superbad, but not as tiresome and lame as Dewey Cox and Drillbit Taylor. Again, the--for Apatow--seminal TV series ""Freaks and Geeks"" gets mined. (First-time director Stoller has co-authored some things with Apatow.) ""Freaks"" alumnus Jason Segel wrote and stars as TV composer Peter Bretter, dumped by girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). Peter does the ""music"" (mostly just ominous sounds) for a sleazy crime series featuring Sarah. She's taken up with decadent (but clean and sober) English rock star Aldous Snow, played by Russell Brand, an outrageous Brit comic whose real life junkie confessions are a hoot. Brand takes us away from Apatow's limited world of fat Jewish boys trying to get laid with hot chicks. His Aldous Snow is a sleazy sex god and recovery guru and when he's on screen, things take a welcome new turn toward wit and absurdity. But that comes briefly, and later. We begin in Hollywood, where Sarah comes to see the couch potato Peter, who refuses to put on clothes to hear her breaking up speech. Despondent, Peter follows advice from his brother Brian (Bill Hader of Knocked Up and Superbad) and goes to Hawaii, where his waiter is Apatow warhorse Jonah Hill and his reefer-addled surf instructor is ""Friends"" and Apatow alum Paul Rudd. Who should be at Peter's hotel but Sarah and Aldous? With the questionable linchpin of this lame ""surprise,"" comedy, heartbreak, and resolution ensue. There are no jaw-breaking laughs. In fact the only things that kept me watching were the appeal of Segel--he's a giant, slightly overweight puppy dog--and the louche Brit pungently evoked by Russell Brand. As for the Hawaiian setting, Oahu may have been a fun place to shoot. The Apatow crew probably wanted out of Hollywood. But the Pacific is too soggy and pretty an environment for repartee. For a change, instead of female nakedness (oh, just a few bare breasts), Segel is frontally nude, repeatedly, but just for a split second each time. Apatow's posse is at home with male adolescence and early--or frozen--schlub-hood. But not with much else; the Apatow-sponsored features haven't managed to match the depth and breadth of their mother lode, ""Freaks and Gesks."" In the TV series, Segel got dumped by none other than Lindsey (Linda Cardellini), the lead character. None of the film comedies have come up with a female as smart, sensible, interesting, and central as Lindsay. Sarah is a pathetic sliver of humanity by comparison. Lindsey went out with Segel's ""Freaks"" persona Nick out of pity, and when he got too intense, she pulled away. His suffering was convincing, a little disturbing even. Her choice was wise. This sequence was less formulaic than Sarah Marshall. Nick, Segel's character in ""Freaks"" is rather arresting. Peter grows out of Nick but loses rather than gains depth in the updating. The exotic setting obviously doesn't compensate. Segel already had musical ambitions as Nick, who realizes he's no rock star. Peter hates his sellout TV composing and is working on a Dracula puppet opera--an odd curio performed in excerpt toward the end. As before, Segel's appealing as a would-be artist and a basically decent but weak fellow with his heart on his sleeve, but Nick had more emotional conviction than Peter. Sarah Marshall spends most of its time on well-trodden territory with hits predictable surprises, obtrusive local color, romance opportunities, and obligatory attempts at reconciliation. It does have laughs, but while Peter's new girlfriend Rachel (Mila Kunis) like him is basically a decent person, she mostly comes off as little more than a pretty face, and their relationship is never more than the stuff of sitcoms. In the end it seems that Segel's character lacks the complexity--or the energy--to sustain a whole movie, and he and Sarah are equally forgettable. _________________",7 "The fact that this masterpiece of a Film only has 7.3, I repeat 7.3 rating actually hurts. This film is one of the best superhero films ever, right up there with the likes of The Dark Knight, Infinity War and Endgame. It has amazing action, great character moments and a timeless soundtrack. People really need to fix up with their ratings 10/10 without a doubt.",10 "A Most Violent Year is a story based in 1981 New York City when the city had the most amount of violent crimes committed in one year. Oscar Isaac played an ambitious immigrant who fights to protect his business and his family who's wife is played by Jessica Chastain. Oscar married into a mafia family but his morals and objective to expand the business the right way. His drivers were getting hijacked and losing his shipping supplies. Throughout the whole movie he tried to remain true to himself and humble. Jerry Adler and Albert Brooks round up the cast, but overall it was great movie. Great script, wonderful direction and definitely something I would watch again.",8 "The acting is good, the direction is good, the plot - stupid! All those men that are killed - I bet some had children of their own! Agh. What a meathead of a bloody move. Fairdinkum, what a joke mate.",5 "Another week, another chance to impress us with a horror movie. This week, the Conjuring Universe continues its ride to the box office bucks in as much style as it can before the big films come. Yet, like many extended universe movies, you have no idea whether the next installment will succeed, or just make your wallet bleed. Welcome to another Robbie's Movie Review and tonight we see if the latest spooky film will ride the ghost train to the bank. As always, happy to share some opinions so let's get out there and get it done! Movie: Annabelle Comes Home (2019) Director: Gary Dauberman Writers: James Wan (story by), Gary Dauberman Stars: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Mckenna Grace LIKES: Acting Creepy New Types of Ghosts More Looks Into The Haunted Room Decent Pace Some Surprising Story Elements DISLIKES: Predictability Story Is A Little Fractured The Boyfriend Arc Not As Scary As I Had Hoped A Little Anticlimactic SUMMARY: The latest movie in the conjuring universe starts to go back to its roots and polish up things. Annabelle's latest story brings the creepy nature of the movies back to the home and that adds the realistic notion of scares that make fans like me love the series. In the sanctity of the home, one hopes to be harbored from ghosts, but Annabelle's minions prove that not even the familiarity of a home can save you. Nevertheless, the movie manages to bring new types of ghosts and scares that potentially will become movies of their own as the forbidden treasures of the Warrens surface and hint at the secrets in store. Surprisingly, the movie still manages to find some storytelling elements in it as well, but this time through the eyes of a new cast, whose younger members accomplish the goals of terror filled teenagers and adolescents trying to cover up their mistakes. The backstory and character development can be touching, but never quite engulfs the main goal of scaring. Sadly, the movie suffers from the usual horror trade of imbalance and predictability. The use of foreshadowing, the same tactics for trying to build scares, and the trailers have spoiled much of the suspenseful parts for me and given the rushed component this sometimes blew through the scary parts too quickly to allow the audience to stew in the intensity of the moment. In addition, the movie held too much in terms of story lines, primarily in the number of artifacts they tried to use. Ambitious as it was to brings many guests to the party, Annabelle's focus on all the spirits led a fractured story component that did not quite have the majesty of the origin story we got a few years back. Ghosts aside, the story of the humans with more of a pulse did not come fully together, falling into some simplistic stories that did not quite have the bite I was hoping, especially in regards to the boyfriend arc, which while funny was not entirely necessary to the film. As you can probably guess the movie as a whole not quite that climactic in its finish. Yet despite all the imbalances, Annabelle's latest trek is about the middle runner for this reviewer. With enough creeps in the realistic setting, one may find themselves afraid of what lies in the dark, becoming quite sensitive to sounds. With new ghosts, some new tricks, and a few new spins on the formula it works for those looking for a good ghost story. Yet, the movie sort of strayed from the story/scare balance of the first one and the characters don't quite have the same drive some of the stronger series installments (Conjuring and Annabelle Creation) has in terms of characters to latch onto or a story to ground it all. Still, it's got enough special effects to garnish a theater run, but only barely. Instead, this one may be better reserved for home, where the setting can help add some horror in itself. My scores are: Horror/Mystery/Thriller: 7.0 Movie Overall: 6.0",7 "Tarantino's ode to the Hollywood of his childhood. There are random scenes that work but overall, there's nothing of substance or entertainment value here. Also, the film could have every scene with Margot Robbie cut & would lose nothing narratively. Essentially, a pointless, needless story told by someone who has romanticized how others told stories.",3 "Based on the first episode, at least. I read the user reviews and thought ""It can't possibly be that bad, and I love sci-fi!"" Well, it turns out that it IS that bad. Not a single enjoyable character, poor writing, and a very dull pilot episode had me bailing. I'd rather wait for good sci-fi, like The Expanse, than watch this dross.",4 "This series really has its ups and downs despite the high ratings. They really went overboard with the product placement scenes for Coke, Jiff peanut butter, Eggo, etc. Which I found very annoying, especially when it happens during serious scenes because it makes it seem foolish. There are some great action scenes though and the special effects are interesting and well done. The young actors do quite a good job overall and they deserve credit for making this series a hit! I just finished season 4 and the only season I really didn't like was season 3 but it's enjoyable overall and worth watching!",7 "There's nothing much in the story, there's rarely any logic in action movies. BUT, this movie knows what it is and does it really well. If you're looking for something full of out-and-out action, do watch this. Amazing camerawork and stunts. You'll have to make sure you don't bring logic in when it comes to bullets flying all over the place in this movie, IYKWIM.",6 "This was just great from start to finish. The exposition was just enough for you to understand the world, and delivered not by text or speech, but by action and scenery. The world building is superb. Cavill absolutely nails the role, and you understand his entire mindset almost from the first couple of scenes. I can't recommend this enough, everything is great. If I had to point out one negative, it would be that the cgi can sometimes look a bit off in 4k. Hoping for an even larger budget next season!",9 One of the finest movie ever made in Bollywood.. It is Probably SRK's career Best act. While watching SWADES.. I'm sure You will become the FAN of Shah Rukh Khan.,10 "I watched the movie on June, 29th, in a preview session. I walked out of the cinema thinking how could these guys improve so much the franchise from the first movie to the second. The effects are great, outstanding, but the plot is so much solid! There is more drama, with the comic relief in J. Jonah Jameson's appearances, the romance between Peter and Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst, beeeeeautiful) goes to another level and, mainly, the villain is great! Alfred Molina brings a multidimensional character to Doc Ock: he's not just the bad guy, but he, somehow, reflects Peter Parker ""dark side"". I'm not a Spider-Man fan, but that's an amazing movie! It's worth to stand in long lines to watch it, no doubt!",9 "Utter trash. Science is real, this was not. Nothing more to say.",1 "The actors are bad and ridiculous, MJ, Ned, Flash, Betty they all unbearable & silly, this is the worst MJ I ever seen, and the story is trivial, and the attempts to laugh were really stupid & silly, I almost vomited from dullness. I start to hate Spider-Man but this move is disgusting, it has fallen to the worst levels, they killing Spider-Man character & story, & made it more & more silly & unbearable.",2 "With an average rating of around an 8, I didn't hesitate to rent this movie. Anything in the past rated this high on IMDb, I have been able to understand why. But this film was just one big piece of poop, I can find nothing good to say about it. Not even close to being funny, forced shock language, stupid plots, too long, terrible acting. The person I watched this with still hasn't forgiven me for picking this movie to rent. Why do comments here need to be a minimum of 10 lines? Movies such at this don't need 10 lines to tell you how bad it really was. If this is a bona-fide 8 rating, and this is what people want in a film....I'm giving up going to the movies.",1 "This movie has a very good story and good acting, but my goodness is the dialogue fun. I'm not sure if the accents are overwritten for the mid-west during the time period the movie is set in, but the mid-west accent is cranked up to 11. There is a weird cordiality that some of the characters have and some definitely don't that also adds to the movie. Very good. I'd recommend it to anyone.",8 "Watched the whole series. The last half only because I thought it might get better, but no. Once you see a few episodes and get over the main characters droll and apathetic lives, it becomes glaringly apparent that this is just a pretentious, vapid little series that waste away your time. With so many very high reviews, I thought there was really something here, but no, there isn't. Do on let yourself be suckered in! If you place Any value on your own time, don't spend it watching this. Yeah, yeah, I can hear it now ""But You watched it!"", yah, I did. I took one for the team. I watched so you won't have to. Fairly well disgusted by the numerous 10 star reviews that were gush wet dreams to this trash and made me think it was worth watching. It Was Not.",1 "The movie has no plot, is so slow...just kept waiting for it all to come together. Brad Pitt gets all 4 of my stars for being mildly entertaining and the only reason I did not turn this off half way through. After all the award nominations, just wondering if I missed something...I guess I just don't get it.",4 Completely overhyped. Mind numbing. Oscar is a good actor but this is terrible. The dialogue is cheesy and this should have gone the same dark route daredevil did. Sigh.,6 "Due to lot of publicity, i expected more, lack of substance, lose ends",3 "The Loki of the first Avengers movie was being mind controlled by Thanos while still being enraged at Odin and Thor. This is the Loki we're now following in a new timeline. He hasn't gone through imprisonment, the death of both parents or his reconciliation with Thor in Ragnorak. This makes his gradual reformation in ""Loki"" easy to understand without Thanos in his head, especially after witnessing the ""rest of his life"" and death. Tom Hiddleston did a superb job bringing back early Loki of Thor 1, the God of Mischief, jealous of Thor, desperate for Odin's approval. The quality of the actors and their commitment to their characters is far above what we get from most TV and streaming series. Didn't know what to expect - love what I'm seeing. Less than 36 hours until the final episode... I'll be on pins and needles until then!",9 "These positive reviews can't be real. This movie was an unenjoyable mess. No humor. Bad acting. Bad story. The CGI was great. But that can't save this mess. Don't waste your time or money.",1 "I was able to catch a screening of 'Superbad' last night in NYC and I was very pleased with the movie. I'm sure most will compare this to an 'American Pie' like comedy, but it's so much more than that. There were some ""shock value"" moments, but very well done to tip the scale more to funny than to gross. It is a teen movie, so 'Superbad's plot is obviously basic. It's the performances of the 3 friends (Seth, Evan, and 'McLovin' Fogell) that really make it great. I am big Michael Cera fan thanks to the brilliant TV series ""Arrested Development"", and other fans will be delighted to see his equally hilarious performance as Evan. The movie has the sexually driven banter and gross outs that will appeal to 'American Pie' viewer and the smart timing and acting that will appeal to the 'Arrested Development' viewer. What was really surprising to me was the touching (platonic) relationship that Evan and Seth have. Also, 'McLovin' Fogell, is an absolute nerdy delight. The only negative thing I noticed that it was a bit drawn out toward the middle, but it really picks up after. Overall it's a great time and might just be a success at the box office. Bad teen comedies are a dime a dozen, but 'Superbad' is a shiny golden egg!",8 "No suspense. Acting is OK. But the story was ridiculous: Wolverine helps a Mexican girl cross a border. Wolverine fighting climate change might have been a more entertaining storyline. And at the end Wolverine just takes a lot of drugs goes into a rage and kills all the bad guys. Who didn't see something like that coming. Wolverine kill moves were kind of cool in this movie, but doing that same claw through the face move in slow motion over and over gets pretty boring after a while. Its always some cliché bad guy, too. If Wolverine would do the claw through the face move on random ""climate deniers"", that could be entertaining. And I don't understand how crossing the border into Canada is going to help these mutant children. As if a multi-billion dollar organization of super evil bad guys rampantly killing all over the USA can't get the papers to go to Canada? And I'm pretty sure those kids crossing the border didn't get any papers either.",2 Black gnome 10/10 Geralt 5/10 Yennefer 1.5/10 Ciri 8/10 Triss 0.5/10,5 "Inception is quite interesting, and watching it requires the audience's full attention. Inception begins with intrigue and quickly creates a grounding of characters and a plot. The cinematography is outstanding, but it just felt like the writers began running out of ideas and didn't really know how they should end the film. I think the potential in the film Inception was incredibly high. Overall, 7/10.",7 "8 out of 10 this is the biggest lie that I've seen here. The real raiting 5-6 stars. First 20 min I was waiting when it became interesting. Well, it was boring kids movie with rare funny moments till the end. Even though some sort of family values are presented, and there is some drama with relationships. It makes movie even worse. They wanted to create a funny movie about super hero for kids, they failed",5 "Worst ever , i cant believe i watsed my time watching this honestly",1 "Fargo is a hilarious depiction of my home state and it's people. Some characters accents I thought, were very exaggerated but if you're not from there you wouldn't know that, (so they needed to be). William H. Macy does a phenomenal job balancing the accent with tone, he gives a frantic performance that is true to his character and is honestly from an acting standpoint VERY hard to juggle. Apart from the stories dark nature, a lot is shown in its lightest moments, it is a fine line between comedy and tragedy and the Coen brothers rode it the whole way. One characteristic that makes this film stand out to me is it's ability to let dialogue alone carry a scene, I'm a huge advocate for less bells and whistles and more interesting conversations. A particular scene in which this is illustrated is when Steve Buscemi's character is cussing out his partner for being silent in the car. A. It's a long take and B. His lines are stagnant and choppy. This allows the viewer to experience his frustrations in real time, something that a lot of films tend to scrape out. In conclusion I'd tell you to see this film primarily for the acting, however the story itself is interesting and worthy of your time, especially if you know something about Minnesota/North Dakota.",8 "This was bad, pointless, and fits very poorly into the MCU. Why does it exist? To contend with Batman v. Superman? For the loves of god, let's just take Marvel off the Russo brothers.",1 "Many people write this show off as a children's cartoon or generic fantasy anime. That's a mistake. You will laugh. You will cry. You'll get shivers down your spine and weight in your heart. And you might be a slightly different person by the end. I've watched a good bit of TV, and as an adult in his 20s, this is still the only show I would give a 10/10. The worldbuilding is original and amazing. The animation, art and music is gorgeous. The plot is a standard but extremely well implemented hero's journey, and you'll be deeply connected to the characters well before the end. There's no Japanese anime weirdness, no overused clichés, an a nice mix of light humor and mature drama you wouldn't expect to see in a Nickelodeon cartoon of all things. And there's a truly amazing amount of detail in all of the show's content (As an example, the creators hired a real martial arts consultant to create/animate the different bending forms). No show is perfect, but the only real complaint I have is the quality of the release. Avatar was produced/released in 4:3 480p, the DVD was poorly mastered, and Nickelodeon still hasn't released the amazing soundtrack. Before you write this off as immature animation, do yourself a favor: get on Amazon Prime and watch it. Doesn't matter how old you are, bring your kids too. And don't give up after the first episode. Also, it's worth nothing that this was NOT originally intended to be a Nickelodeon cartoon, they just happened to be the network to pick it up. So whatever your Nicktoon expectations are, don't expect them here.",10 "This is just a review from an average movie watcher, I don't claim to be a Batman expert or anything of the like. I just want to start by saying I love Christian Bale as Batman. However, this movie was not up to par. It was way too boring in the beginning and felt like a 5 hour movie! I was disappointed in the ending and quite honestly, I really could gone without seeing the movie. (Spoiler if you don't read celeb news or if you haven't seen the movie...) I probably won't watch any more of these movies after hearing that Christian Bale is hanging up the cape. The dude from 3rd Rock might make a good Robin, but not a Batman. Just my opinion, of course.",4 "The complete disdain the writers & showrunners have for the gift of a built-in audience is astonishing. You'll be hard pressed to find one absorbing character or captivating villain. Time is of no essence - it flows without story development; Ep 10 ends exactly as you could have predicted at Ep 1, just 17 years later. The names of so many characters sound so alike it's almost impossible to know who is being talked about - if you care - behind their backs. ""Inside the episode"" chats invariably reference things NOT in evidence in what you just watched; this 'creative' arrogance is off-putting and insulting. Even the dragons are overused yet underwhelming. GOT was kaleidoscopic, HotD is a drudgery.",2 "The reason I am giving this a 3 star rating is due to the release of Season 2. I promise there are no spoilers in this review, just want others to be prepared before you start Season 2. Season 1 was great if you wanted to binge watch the entire season in one day-you could. I mean Season 1 really drew you into the series, but Season 2 is not up to my standards. When it was announced for the release of Season 2, I was excited, along with most people. But highly disappointed when only the first 3 episodes were available on Sept 4, 2020. The first episode was more than confusing, due to it not leaving off from the last episode of Season 1 right away. It doesn't tye anything from the previous season until near the end of S2 E1. There is also no recap, so you might want to watch the last episode of Season 1 before you start Season 2, if you dont remember. But don't get to into the show, Amazon is only releasing new episodes of Season 2 every Friday. Part of the reason I gave this a 3 star review. At this point I'll just wait for it to be canceled or not renewed, to watch the entire series. Other streaming platforms do not do this to their customers. I'd rather watch 3 minute ads/commercials every 5 minutes on hulu if that gets me through an entire Season. Also, I don't understand how you expect to keep people interested in this show. The whole reason for streaming platforms is for binge watching, catching up on old shows and being different from actual television. When you take away one of those elements, you get review bombed because this isn't what Amazon Prime customers expected. We were told the release of Season 2 would be 9/4/20 not PART of Season 2. This review will also be posted to Amazon.",3 "It sounds strange, but the original Addams Family and the movies from the early 90s have heart - this does not seem to exist here. It is difficult to portray a character that was perfectly portrayed already, but I'm not sure if it is Ortega's doing or if this is how the part was written or how she was directed. Ricci's Wednesday wasn't self-absorbed or angst-ridden, she was part of the family unit and wasn't constantly out to prove herself. She was already confident and didn't need to be rude or defensive. She was mature beyond her years. She didn't want to die, she was interested in death. And while I know this show is focused on the one character, I find the absence of the family-first value we got in the earlier renditions of the Addams' to be off-putting. Maybe it's just not for someone of my generation, we already had our Wednesday Addams, and this one is just too hateful.",1 "Loved this season! The pacing felt a bit... weird sometimes, but the show didn't become boring. The third installment has a slightly different tone, but overall it's the same ""TUA"" - a crazy-ish combination of superhero movie, disaster-movie, drama and comedy, joined by some mindblowing plot twists (which got even more shocking this time IMO) and a cliffhanger that makes you want Netflix to release the next part of this amazing story ASAP. Briefly: still very good and worth watching. Applause to Steve Blackman and the rest of the crew. 7.5/10.",8 "Great to see Steve Martin, lots of great characters, Gomez held on, must have learned quite a bit. The only strange thing is for some reason it kept reminding me of ""The Airline Attendant "". Young woman, murder, cartoon open....but its fun.",6 The sets and depiction of trench warfare are intensely realistic but this story has been told many times before. Although the film shocks the viewer with its non-stop shots of WWI butchery it is much too long and the shock wears off just when it should climax. Although it is not a comedy by any measure I compared it to M*A*S*H for its depiction of the resignation of the soldiers and the uselessness and horror of war. It is not a reboot but the story sure seems common.,6 "Don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike this movie. It managed to keep me interested from the very first scene to the end, and I particularly appreciated how both the indoor and the outdoor sequences felt believable and... well, right: ""This is how people would probably behave if something similar happened IRL"", I found myself thinking more than once during the film. ""People are stupid and do stupid things under pressure"", that's OK. What I HATED is how the characters were typified. The old grumpy racist man! The whiny weak fat woman! The otherwise useless youngster that are only there for the token sex scene and then disappear! The relentlessly brave love interest! Quite tiresome at times.",6 "Watching Inception, I actually felt as if I had lost my short term memory faculty. I think various characters, especially little DiCaprio and his sidekick Joeph Gordon-Levitt, were forever explaining things. What had happened, what would happen, why somethings might happen and why other things might not happen etc etc. But after a while it became impossible to retain the nonsensical gobbledygook that was being spouted and I kept asking myself why are they doing this, why are they doing that? Why are they in the middle of a snow covered mountain? Why is that guy floating around, tying everybody up and stuffing them down a lift shaft? I think all this was explained. Was it? Oh I can't remember. But then a sense of complete ennui took over my body. A listlessness so total that I could not summon up the energy to even try to follow this nonsense. Today's film makers often pay their respects to the great directors of the past, but their praise and appreciation is entirely bogus. It cannot be otherwise, considering they have no notion how to develop plot, how to create characters that live and breathe and exude vitality. For Christopher Nolan, wit drama and tension may be beyond him, but surely simple coherence is not too much to ask? I am very aware that many people love this film, indeed some even declare it a work of genius (dear oh dear!), but there are some dissenting voices. And for those who recognise Inception for the nullity it is, I have more than once seen the story of ""The King's New Clothes"" being invoked to describe how so many people seem to have been taken in by this nothing of a picture. But whilst I agree with most of the views of the dissenters, I must take issue with those who use the ""King's New Clothes"" as a simile. And the reason is simple, this movie is not fit to mentioned in the same breath, even via an unflattering comparison as Hans Anderson's marvellous story. Anderson created, in a few short pages a storytelling masterpiece,; a strong narrative, compelling characters and a classic denouement, all told with brevity wit and clarity.And at the core of the story is an ethical and moral issue that people can, and have debated for centuries And all these characteristics in this gem of the storytellers art, are totally missing in Nolan's boring incoherent mess. In short, rather than be compared to Anderson's great little story, Nolan should be studying it closely to see how a story can be successfully told.",2 "Watching a scifi show, i do not expect scientific accuracy, but in the very least things should not be plain stupid (water freezing from the inside out, srsly?). Characters relations are nonsensical, their behaviour erratic, dialogues are extremely poor, after suffering through the first half hour, i jumped through the rest of the first episode and after reading the synopsis of the rest i decided to leave it be. Waste of time.",2 "I agree with the unoriginal story plot. It is hard to even get into the plott with all the f bombs and sexual enuendos. To make it worse, who ever thought that including young children in a movie like this is appropriate is.ine sick person. Makes me think that Ryan Reynolds and J. Bateman can't get movie gigs anymore. This movie, all though overdone, could of been a really good flick. Now it has too be right up there with the worst movie ever made. VERY DISAPPOINTING. Disappointed in the Movie Stars to think it is ok to make this movie. Their names draw people in, and then the shock sets in that they lowered themselves to this disgusting level. I have lost a lot of respect and admiration for these actors. At this point I don't care if I dont see another film any of them make after seeing how low they go to try to make a buck. Again, using children this way is almost criminal and there should be some standards in place when children are in movies.",1 "One of the best comedies that I have seen in quite sometime, well, it hasn't been that long(Knocked Up). When it comes to anything involving Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow, you know that you are going to get an extremely hilarious, yet very relatable comedy. I love this one the most, mainly because, I AM those guys. I just graduated from Highschool, and parties and sex and all that stuff is extremely awkward. And they do that SO well. Michael Cera is the king of Awkward. Jonah Hill is becoming quite a funny guy as well. This movie was so freaking sweet. Go see it the day it comes out, and I promise your stomach will hurt by the time you walk out from laughing so hard, and if you think otherwise, I give you permission to punch me in the gut.",10 "The first season set the bar very high nothing was left to the imagination. The waving of each character to the next was splendid. Everything pulled together beautifully. My expectation for the second season was very high. Then we got the second season it has watered down and weaker than the first. There were scenes I found myself saying ""next"". It feels as though the show was softened for audiences instead of staying to the first season grit.",7 His moves are not from a fighter. You can clearly see that and it take you out of the movie. He is not a killer. You can clearly see that from the beginning. Why everyone is shooting blanks when his every shot is right on the head?,2 "Harrowing international calamity turned over to a group of respected performers who appear overweight and overconfident. Poor Tim Robbins, why did he allow himself to be shown as a shameful old relic. Needs to start over with a new director and script. Why did someone as first rate as Todd Haynes settle for a tedious mess like this?",2 "The two stars are for Ke Huy Quan's acting. He was really good in all his different roles and his whole aura changed with each personality. The only thing that kept me watching till the end was the thought that surely it would get better. Well, to me it didn't. It was just all random rubbish thrown together. I like and admire Michelle Yeoh a lot, so I'm disappointed that she got involved in this. There were so many points when I really physically wanted to throw up because of what I was seeing on screen. It was awful. It made no sense. It was like the writers just tried to find things that were as stupid as possible to put together. Why did such big names sign on? I don't know. Don't waste your time.",2 "Try and see it on the big screen. The 'one continuous shot' method works very well thru the trenches but is probably not necessary elsewhere, apart from a few chase scenes. I came out of the theatre feeling overwhelmed but found I'd just about forgotten the film by the next day. Why was that? Because you never actually make an emotional connection with the main characters. Actually, there is no real character development. It's gripping at times but more a case of style over substance - worth it just for the style though.",7 "No doubt Tom Hardy is one of the best actors Hollywood has to offer today, but he deserved a better movie, a better script, better dialogues and a deeper character. The story and characters are very shallow. Fun to watch at home on a rainy Sunday afternoon.",5 "Overrated bad acting bad CGI the CGI is surprisingly bad. There is more overacting , and the plot is slapstick predictable. But better than nothing to watch. I would not watch it twice for sure.",5 "It should be noted that this is more an origin of Sam being Captain America than Bucky finding his way to redemption. The series from the beginning has some excellent fight scenes, spectacular effects, very good characters and a solid story to keep the audience awake. Every time an episode ends, you keep waiting more and more. This series is one more reason to miss Steve Roger being Captain America. In my opinion the development they gave to Bucky aka Winter Soldier was very poor. Both in the fight and development scenes it was seen that Bucky was a filler or sidekick for Sam to help him become Captain America. The Winter Soldier is one of the oldest, most iconic and highly experienced characters in combat who could have defeated everyone without Sam's help. The final episode was the only one that I found lazy or rushed, because they closed the story quickly and forcibly. There was not a spectacular fight for Bucky and neither for the villain of the series. But I recommend the series because it is the beginning of phase 4 to understand the events that are going to happen in the future.",9 "It's not a bad movie, but it's not a good movie. It's very obvious that the premise for this entire movie was based off of 8 Mile. The whole movie was turned cliche when that movie came out... only problem is, this movie came out almost two decades later. It's okay. It's not great. In this day and age of NetFlix, it's an easy pass in lieu of the plethora of other good movies. Production companies have to realize that garbage pandering movies like this don't fly anymore. Blockbuster and other movie rental stores are dead. We know what we're getting into. Prove me wrong.",5 "It was horrible from the 1st episode. But I gave it a chance. Still horrible. If you enjoy watching stuff like this I don't wanna know you. Save yourself unless you have no empathy. Then you'll probably enjoy it.",1 When it comes in term of the the action scene they are literally great.... but when we comes the story we will see it really disappointing for us. the main actor Chris hamsworth and the boy who played the little boys role is a example of great casting .if you have a great story line it always catch a good number audience but in this movie its literally missing. and in the last i will say if if like some close combat stuns and fighting scene then you defiantly go and watch this but if you expect a backstory or something then i say this movie disappointed you,6 "The hostage taking from 1979 in Iran is a current topic but I stumbled upon this movie by accident. It really brought this part of history closer to me, even if some events didn't happen like that and were added for dramaturgical purposes. Also 'Argo' focuses on a small but very interesting part of the hostage taking, so don't expect everything to be covered. In the end when the credits roll, you can see how scaringly close they came visually to the actual events in 1979/80. Actors were perfectly chosen, only Ben Affleck doesn't look like the actual Tony Mendez, but he still fits into the scenery.",7 I don't think there are enough words to describe the beauty of this masterpiece.,10 "Just saw this new Michael Bay (directed) movie, 6 Underground. Incredible stunts (CGI or no CGI), amazing locations and overall commendable performance from the leading actors. Plus points stop here. Totally illogical story ; the movie starts with a promise and then the story line goes haywire. Some one must tell Ryan Reynolds that he can never ever become Robert Downey Jr. Ryan Reynolds tries his best with the funny dialogues. Unfortunately, the attempt sucks.",5 The series contained some violence and frightening scene and it worth watching your every second. The series continues on a world of super hero are they bad or they good? You have to watch it to find the answer.,9 "Taaza Khabar is another ""Shekspearean template"" adapted uniquely where the protagonist seems too nice in the beginning and starts decaying slowly upto the core before he completely destroys himself. Same formula was excelled in ""Tabbar"" 2 years back. This time Bhuban Bam has spilled his heart out to make ""Vasya"" and his life believable. Bhuban Bam has lot more similar character arc like ""Natalie potman"" had in Black swan. Story of a sanitation worker and his magical powers which he uses to harness the money,love and status. You can watch some stereotypes breakers from the beginning . For example both ""Vasya"" and ""Shetty"" fall in love with same prostitute and love her to the core. No backgrounds they just fall in love. You never understand why the father of ""Vasya"" has so much hate with his own son. The story is engaging , plot is tight but the episode lengths are very small and that feels hurried. The ""Shetty"" character is not tightly written and sometimes we feel like ""Vasya"" has got ample of time before ""Shetty"" attacked him. Shriya pilgaonkar has done justice to ""Madhu"" Definitely a one time watch.",7 "It is playing with you on a psychological and metaphysical level. Makes you wonder if everything is hidden in plain sight. Also one of the best soundtracks ever.",7 "The one who casted Mrs Smith ruined it all. I can't continue watching this because of her. The others are not much better. The robot is the best part, that's not enough to make it a good show.",4 "I really love series like that. But in the case of Agents of SHIELD i do not. Its just endless boredomness with a few replaceable pretty girls and some dudes flying on a scifi plane and facing more or less wiered incidents. The most times (like 80% of the time) they talk to each other about their feelings and about what a great team they are. When they are through with that they tell the same boring nonsense to other people around them. No matter if this are other agents or the enemy. The summarize of the real story of the whole first season is told in two minutes or sentences. Chemical powered Superhero shows up, big bad organization is behind that, a rich dude shows up who is somehow involved. Then you learn that the hardboiled agents are not that hardboiled at all and that nerds can be brave too. Thats basically it. I trade easily watching five minutes of Doctor who against the whole first season of this show about ""Agents on ecstasy talking drivel about their feelings"". Btw. I am pretty sure the budget of that series was unbelievable low. You see the plane, two or three colorful painted paint ball guns as scifi weapons and a few quadrocopters. That are all gadgets they included. Every other gadget they show (tablet, laptop, smart phone) would have been impressive if the show where made in 1990 but now every 13 year old has this gadgets in his pocket. When the superhero gets his Hightech-power suit whatever, its something like a black jogging suit. If you are a fan of scifi stay away, if you are a fan of marvel, stay especially away to do not ruin you're marvel fandomnes.",3 Uri is just one of the most amazing fantastic movies in bollywood ever,10 "As others have noted, this film was extraordinarily overrated and hyped by various media outlets. It is a super-hero flick like so many, but it falls below others in that it fails to encourage the audience to become invested in either the hero or even the villain until the final act. Without a clear tension in the plot the film fumbles along through various minor crises with tons of CGI, gunfire, and action until the sudden appearance of a short-lived climatic rise involving characters for whom the audience does not care. Mediocre among the ever-increasing pile of banal superhero films.",4 "First of all, it is very difficult to insert comedy into a movie as violent as this one was. The makers of this movie tried and failed to do that. Forget bad language, this movie deserves an X rating for criminal cold blooded violence. When the man in the car coldly blasted a state trooper in the face with a 9mm semi-automatic pistol, I almost quit watching right there. Then, the man pursued, and killed two witnesses by shooting one in the head at close range, the other in the back. Kidnapping a woman, letting her fall down a flight of stairs, then laughing at her while she hopped around in the snow blinded with a hood over her head, scared for her life,crying in panic as she tried to get away, is in no way comedy. IMO, this movie served no purpose except to give criminals ideas how to be more violent. This movie should have been rated X, with no redeeming social value.",4 "This one problem isn't enough to bring my rating down from an 8 to 7 because it's not a big deal, I'm just saying: it occurred to me that Jerry just stopped by his father-in-law's office building to try to finalize the deal. So, how would his windshield be so iced over when he comes out? He doesn't work there--he works at the DEALERSHIP--so it's not like he was there all day with his car out in the lot for hours.",8 "I don't know what else does people want from a movie. It has adventure, fun, scenery, good acting , good directing. Ok, it had some unnecessary dialogs but overall it is great. I enjoyed it. That is all I want from a movie. To have a couple of good hours. Not everything can be a masterpiece. God job, hope to see more of this triad.",2 My rating's 8 is on the basis of overall 3 seasons I've watched. I wish that I could un-watch season 3. First 2 seasons are great and are only ones that matter. 9 for first two seasons. They have gone out of actual storyline after 2nd season.,8 "I had high hopes for this show when it was first announced, I was hoping it would be like an extension of the Cap Winter Soldier movie with that Spy movie feel but wow I could not have been more wrong. Instead we get a bore fest of PC woke check lists shoved in your face with a side helping of political views and a nice big slice of ""White people bad""... Bucky is at best side lined as a very minor secondary character while Falcon is reduced to being nothing more than his skin! Both these characters have such great potential and both are dumbed down to fit into some kind of box ticking exercise on points scoring with the Snowflake generation. If this is a sample of what's to come in marvel Phase 4, I think I will leave it be...",2 "A bad script with dialogue just as bad and ridiculous comments throughout it. I am not a GOT fan nor this. It reminded me of the Nicolas Cage movie, SEASON OF THE WITCH which was just as ridiculous. Enough said. I guess there are many who will like but honestly Netflix not for this person.",2 Je ne comprends pas le but de la série ! La série est surjouée de manière intentionnelle mais c'est pathétique et ennuyeux.,1 "Excellent near-time Futurama of tech intersecting everyday society. Think original Twilight Zone with the thought-provoking ambiguity replaced by existing or near-future technology. Immediately alarming and insightful. As a technologist and father myself, the series easily captures your attention with solid acting and directing through intriguing story-telling that will stay with you beyond the episode's end.",9 "#Deathnote Rating - 9.1/10 An amazing anime, perfect for introducing new fans to anime. Honestly, this is probably the best thing that I had ever discovered. I never get tired of watching. And now I have watched lots of animes but this still has the best story, best characters and my two favorites characters of all time Yagami Light and L. I think the way it ends kind of disappointing. one of my top 10 anime list.",9 "Just plain boring. The story just isn't there. It has no point or a real journey from A to B. The acting, of cause, is on point, and everybody delivers - but that alone can't make a good movie. The final fight is the only hinch, that this is a Tarantino-film. That just doesn't cut it. The other 2,5 hours keeps you waiting for the story to take a shape. It never happens.",4 "Come, come all the mags are giving this 4 & 5 stars and saying it is the best thing since sliced bread....why??? It is not good at all, it is tedious and boring and I dropped off to sleep three times. I laughed at the Japanese Director and the scene with Murray on the step cycle but that is it!!! Seen the trailer?, then you have seen the best bits. Actually go to see it just to see how bad it is!!!",1 "I just watched the movie Gravity, its not the kind of movie I would normally watch, but I watched it all the way through, just on the strength of how many Oscar nominations it has. I thought it was a load of rubbish and a waste of 91 minutes of my time. When a movie like The Butler, doesn't get nominated for any Oscars at all and this movie gets 10 Oscar nominations, then in my opinion, it doesn't bode well for the future of movies. I realise that not all genres are suited to everyone, but I can't understand how well this movie rates, through all the different age groups. It makes me very dubious of IMDb ratings, which I had regarded as reliable, until now. In case I haven't written 10 lines, so that this registers, I thought it was RUBBISH. RUBBISH, RUBBISH, RUBBISH, RUBBISH, RUBBISH, RUBBISH, RUBBISH, RUBBISH, RUBBISH, and more RUBBISH and obviously I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, unless they have 91 minutes to waste. If it was worthy of ANY Oscar nominations at all, Special Effects is about the only one I reckon it would qualify for. I also object to being told that realise is spelt with a z. In the USA it is, they make up their own language, also spelt is an English word. The dictionary needs updating.",1 This was the most over rated movies probably in the last 10 years. brought nothing that other movies didn't bring and it was worthless this movie sucked,2 "The sequel to the excellent Marvel adaptation Iron Man isn't as strong as the original in the story department, being a fairly routine 'villains vs good guy' tale that does little to develop the central character; it also suffers from some interminably inane dialogue (people are talking, but they don't really seem to be saying much). Thankfully, the film compensates somewhat in terms of sheer spectacle and excitement (and I'm not just talking about Scarlett Johansson in a figure-hugging leather catsuit!). The first of Iron Man 2's incredible action set-pieces introduces Mickey Rourke's Russian villain Ivan Vanko, who causes mayhem during the Monaco Grand Prix in an effort to kill Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and thus avenge his scientist father, who he believes was cheated outed of fame and fortune by Tony's father Howard. He fails of course, but not until he's trashed several F1 cars mid-race, slicing them in half with his 'power-whips'. Great stuff! Vanko is given another chance at killing the playboy billionaire turned superhero when unscrupulous weapons manufacturer Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) busts him out of jail and gives him the means necessary to develop an army of drones. The film culminates with the inevitable smack-down between Iron Man and Vanko's obedient robot warriors, a satisfyingly chaotic battle full of big guns, grinding metal, and destruction on a massive scale. 7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.",8 "Greta Gerwig Director of Little women and Lady bird did a great job directing movie Barbie. I did not own or play with barbie dolls. Made the whole concept of Barbie very enjoyable and motivational for women in general .Margot Robbie is perfect as Barbie, beautiful in appearance, perky by nature. After stepping into reality , Barbie meets strong women ..different Barbie.. There is a Barbie with different labels... women in all fields. Conventional ordinary Barbie is not ordinary anymore. The movie is 1hr 54 minutes. In the beginning it is all about beautiful Barbie and then a beautiful twist to the story with planet earth having Barbie in all aspects and professions of life. I thoroughly enjoyed Ken ( excellent lovable Ryan Gosling) wanting Barbie and seeking for conventional Barbie in now matured Barbie Margot Robbie. Fun, great movie with lots of lessons for empowering women and teaching little girls to step out of beautiful fake kitchens and playhouses and feeding dolls. New dimension to womanhood is beautifully embedded in impressionable brains of little girls and teenagers rushing in pink clothes to feel like Barbie. Great job , Greta Gerwig. Adorable perfect Margot Robbie as Barbie who steps out of conventional type cast beauty. Excellent ensemble.",10 "I am sorry but this movie is garbage, and anyone who is convincing themselves otherwise really needs to give their head a shake. This is like a 1960's Carry On film, but just with present day styling, but when brilliant movies such as City of God cannot even get to the short list of Best Foreign Picture you have to wonder why the Academy saw fit to elevate this to its top award ..... basically its not fit too lace the boots of COG, and is certainly not a patch on Joker or 1917. I know that movie opinion is very subjective, buut surely I cannot be the only avid moviegoer who feels like this.",4 "I don't understand how this did so well as the movie is really substandard compared to other movies that come from this region. The way it's scored across all sites I thought it was going to be as good if not better than Oldboy. The reviews kept saying stick with it and there's a mad twist at the end. So I stuck with it even though it bored me half way through and the twist at the end was so underwhelming I was a little bit angry and wasted my time. This scored a strong ""Meh"" with me. Dont waste your time",2 "Firstly, I hadn't realised how bad a singer GaGa is. Compared to Garland and Streisand she is well below par. And he wasn't as interesting as Kristofferson, nor was the music as good. The production is bland and you really notice just how damn long this drags on for.",5 "Season one was a mess but had an interesting concept that kept me watching. Season 2 was really good. Season 3 is back to being a mess. They have a couple of well-developed and interesting characters. Klaus. Five. The rest are almost in the way and their sub-plots are forced. I didn't read the graphic novels but I get the sense they are not focusing on the story as much as they should and it just comes off unnatural.",6 It's a Great series Thank you for this series Thank you Hbo I'm very happy for this end,9 "If you have not seen the first movie you won't understand this one fully. In fact it continues the Corleone story almost without break, with Don Vito's son taking brilliantly the role of his father. A few well inserted flashbacks will help you to understand better the biography of Don Vito thus completing a few aspects the first movie had left in the obscurity. The rest is the usual story of the struggle for power among mafia families but very well told in a captivating way. Which doesn't prevent the director to go on presenting those gangsters like human beings with their family problems interfering sometimes with their criminal activities. Murder is an ordinary event normally used to punish a betrayal but also to attain the gangsters' purposes in the attainment of their businesses. Although the acting lacks the superb performance of a sacred monster like Marlon Brando in the first part of this saga, it's good enough and all players do their parts convincingly well with special prominence to Al Pacino and Diane Keaton.",7 "I really loved GoT which had everything, including pace. In contrast House of Dragon is complete garbage, poor labouring storyline, underlayed with common gutter language associated with the worse chavs...unspeable violence and exploitative child birth tossed in for no other reason than to shock......the characters are forgettable, lack any humour or depth or warmth that one can relate too.... The people giving this high marks just don't have a clue about imagination, creativity and adventure...just going with the brain dead masses. Finally this is utterly woke, makes no sense....just avoid this rubbish and don't be sucked in by deluded plebs. God I miss Tyrion and Daenerys Targaryen and Bran....and off course dear old Knight King.",1 Story is terrible and predictable. Things covieniently happen which makes it seem fake and boring. Watched 3 episodes and stopped which I usually never do.,1 "The cinematography and sets are beautiful. I liked Nick Offerman in this role, although the character was quite poorly written. That's pretty much it. I am quite interested in the topics of the movie (determinism, multiverse theory) and it became very clear very quickly that the creator of the show is taking a lot of liberties with science and philosophy. He constantly confuses determinism and fatalism and brings in some religious nonsense into the discussion just to give things a more ""mystical"" aura. The show seems very poorly researched and the characters are extremely flawed. Very intelligent people keep on saying and doing extremely dumb things.",4 "I saw number of good critics but I also heard a lot of people who complained that movie is so boring. Unfortunately, the second group was totally right! I wanted to give it a chance... and I did. I managed to stay by the end but hey - you know how is the movie when you are barely managing to stay by the end :(. Very, very boooring! Some people say: golden age of Holywood - c'mon, every documentary is more interesting than this movie. After 2 hours and 15 minutes there is a short entertaining 10 minutes where some plots will be combined. But even then I don't understand why 90% of the movie is filmed!? Only interesting character is Brad's and he did a good job. Leo was OK but his character is the boring one. The rest od the movie is irrelevant. I think that this became popular solely on QT brand and leading roles. But nobody expected so big miss. Unfotunately, I think that QT should be skiped for some time so that he must try much harder to deserve back people's attention.",3 "Potentially amazing but in the end, infuriating. Was glad when it finished. I nearly called it a day a few times during the first hour. For such a complicated film the muttering dialog really didn't help in understanding this film. It seems like there was so much that should have been omitted as it had no bearing on anything. Just frustrating and boring. How it has the rating and plaudits it has is a mystery. Like it's plot.",4 "Amazing photography Amazing set design Amazing costumes Amazing CGI Good soundtrack But... unfortunately the dialogues are so poor, full of exposition and plot holes. The actors are constantly trying to pull out emotions without having enough background reasons to express them out so strongly. They jump from crying to laughing and being scared in matters of seconds. Consequently this compromises their performances and the overall picture of the series. In conclusion Lost in Space seems that wants to be a ""Ridley Scott movie lookalike"" when in the end it looks more like a Power Ranger and quirky teenagers movie... While watching it the only phrase I keep relegating to myself is: ""what a shame it could have been much better!""",3 "Acting is nothing spectacular, three episodes in and the series is carried by sound and the premise. Rather uneventful build up is hurting this miniseries.",7 "This is a terrible film for many reasons and I could go on at length about the over-simplified characterisation, the ""tell-us-something-we-don't-know"" of the story, and the dismal Terance Mallick-style ""extremely lengthy lingering shots must equal something profound"" but none of those things would really matter (it's only a film, right?) except that this nonsense will be viewed by some people as a true reflection of US society. For god'sake, this ridiculous depiction of how the northern states of the US was an idyllic utopia for black people (and only the nasty evil south was racist) is not even true NOW in 2014! Never mind how much this distorts the reality of the early 19th century. You can go to Phildelphia, get on a bus, see the black homeless lying in the street, see how STILL America has not made amends for the abomination that was slavery. Race riots and the fight for equality and end to racism were late 20th century events - and yet this disgraceful garbage sets out to rewrite history and paint the northen states of the USA in an absurdly egalitarian light.",1 "This movie is an absolute masterpiece of garbage. If you want to learn how to make a movie that lowers your IQ and wastes two hours of your life, then my friend, you have come to the right place. No purpose, no logic. This movie has everything that you expect from a bollywood movie. Also that parkour guy had no purpose in the whole movie except for jump and get caught all the time.",1 "I was greatly underwhelmed by the film after reading so many highly positive reviews. Most of the actors are favorites of mine too, and they did what was expected of them, valiantly. But to me, the plot was tedious and the outcome predictable. I am sorry I rented it.",5 Shows the girt of INDIAN ARMY. Everyome should watch. Op movie...,10 In love with this movie... It is brilliant movie and every Indian must watch this,10 "Finally, a good social satire that tries to move the situations past the same tired tropes that seem designed for award season. The story of a black author having success with a parody feels partly autobiographical, as the frustration of someone forced to pander to simplistic expectation of all those through the greenlighting process and not of the public itself. It also helps that there's a good bit of funny moments. Acting is generally good, but Jeffrey Wright does stand out with a great performance. The only negative aspects I saw would be the fact that the story meanders a bit, although all the superfluous parts of the story work to paint a non-stereotypical picture of a black family. I just wish it would have been done with a slightly faster pace.",8 "First 2 episodes pretty dull and not really to impressed. It's like a marvel knock off of bewitched and that ran for 8 years. Suppose it can only get better.....",5 "Jhund are tremendous movie. And hater's keep away from this movie otherwise you will go Movie Theatre and burn any seat. So that keep your seat in cold water.",10 American hustle was great a movie for grownups unlike wolf of wall street yet I am kinda ticked of at Cristian Bale acting like Robert Deniro and Leonardo Dicaprio wanting to be the next Jack Nicholson. The wolf has some serious parts very few the rest is a mindless carnival of bull I am surprised how bad everything was even hated DiCaprio's performance for the first time he was phenomenal in Django I had big expectations for this movie it tries to take a stab at a lot of film styles but succeeds in none it is a shameful movie from great artist a I was disgusted walking out of the treater. i will have to watch the departed a few times to get this out of my system.,3 "Let me first say that I just could not get over Parker Posey's sad channeling of a grown up Ally Sheedy's Allison from The Breakfast Club. Posey's Dr. Smith is so similar to Sheedy's performance that it is distracting. Same facial expressions, body postures..etc. I realize that Posey and Sheedy do look alike, but that has nothing to with my point. That said, let me get on with the rest of my review. The writing is lacking in so many ways - characters making ridiculously bad choices in spite of their obvious high IQ's and education. Each episode so cringingly predictable, I had to stop myself from fast forwarding through half the show. I think the principal actors did their best with the given material - even the robot was able to convey some emotion. The production value did not look inexpensive so it is a shame the writing doomed any hope of this reboot's success.",3 "Nothing to see here. No idea how it won the best motion picture. I kept losing focus, it was just not that amazing. I've seen 100s of foreign films, this was far from the best.",6 "There's something amazing about Hollywood cinema. When you think they were done with pushing the boundaries of cheesiness and plot less explosions, somebody raises millions of dollars do to so. Except the 10 first minutes that eventually let some hope stay on the screen, and some nice 3D images, this movie has been a waste of time. It looks like a mix of well known a-thousand-time-heard chunks of fast- food plot. Really. A joke. Dramatic family pictures, dramatic love story, know-it-all veteran, the poor mother who realizes she love her daughter, hot actress in underwear, violin music every 5 minutes, ""let me go - no, because you will die - but its OK - but no - but aahhh""... I don't think i can list all these jokes. Not worth it, Gravity is another million dollar bland soup.",2 "Maybe if this is the first ever anime you are seeing than it could be considered ""interesting"" or ""good""? But it is OBJECTIVELY bad written and portrayed. It is watched only because of the main secrets which are being kept as such, but in a terrible way, and make no sense actually. The episodes could actually be at least half the lenght, because they are filled with lenghty, useless and stupid dialogues that could be skipped. Some important secrets are revealed in the most non-logical way, just like if the writer couldn't be able to find the better way. You are not able to emotionally be attached to the characters, being many so stupid or worse, thus when something happens to them you couldn't care less. Some scenes are portrayed like if they should be important while they aren't. And so on. Just don't lose your time like me and don't watch it, you don't really need to.",4 I found the first movie to be a quite unique and funny movie to watch. In fact even after many years I still remember it. However the second movie is nothing more than a lackluster and forced sequel. The characters and story are all very bad.,3 "If you go into WandaVision with an open mind, and you're at all a fan of The Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, or Electric Dreams, then you're really going to enjoy this side dish of a show to the MCU. My only complaint is episode length and count, which makes me believe you could supercut this into a film and it would make a great singular watch.",9 "Please dismiss anyone who criticizes 1917 harshly as overanalytical snobs, perhaps haters of blockbuster films, and assume that they secretly liked it, because really, how can one not. Sure, you can find fault with it; if I had directed 1917 I would have done a few things differently. Still, you just can't argue that it's not a masterfully-crafted film that is riveting pretty much every moment from start to finish. First, to anyone who might hesitate to go see the film because they think they will be subjected to the graphic violence and gore of, say, Saving Private Ryan, then don't hesitate anymore, and go see it. While 1917 is realistically gruesome, director Sam Mendes depicts the horrors of war - weird choice of words coming up, I know - beautifully. By that I mean, even the most horrifying and sad shots in the film, while highly stimulating in the aesthetic and emotional sense, are never extremely graphic, and you are never hit over the head with it. 1917, in this way, is a beautiful artistic masterpiece, never straying close to being shock art, but not holding back at the same time. What would I have done differently had I directed the film? I would have toned down the ""bad guys can't shoot very well"" cliché. I know, it's dark much of the time, the hero is running and zigzagging through built-up areas which offer a lot of protection to an elusive target, and I don't mean to imply that our hero does not elude death at times because he makes some sound lightening-fast decisions; it's just that, at other times, that cliché seems to rear its ugly head. Another implausibility in the film is, our hero spends probably a good ten minutes going for an unplanned, unintentional swim in the river, yet nothing seems to have gotten wet afterwards. Seriously nitpicking now for implausibilities, but as food in the trenches of World War 1 was scarce, and rations were measly, why then cast a chubby actor as one of the protagonists. There's a scene where he's grateful to be given a small crust of bread, and it's somewhat incongruous considering he looks so well-fed. What else? I'm not a fan of soundtracks that are seemingly intended to push the please-feel-something-now buttons, and 1917 has a button-pushing soundtrack. But at least the music is apropos, not sappy in any way. In general, I don't like the idea of war having a soundtrack, because soundtracks invariably glorify war. I'll be interested to read reviews from people who have had first-hand battlefield experience; I have not, so I don't necessarily consider above to be a credible critique. It's just how I personally experienced the film.",8 "The first season was a great adaptation that honoured the source material and added some new, interesting plot. The second season, other than the first episode, is almost unrecognisable. This wouldn't be a problem if the changes were good but some episodes are so poorly written, they feel like a cheap parody. The final two episodes were very well done but didnt quite make up for the slog that was episodes 2 - 6. There was another dip in quality in the third season. It was 8 episodes of nothing. The writers took some of the best scenes from the books and somehow made them incredibly boring. I've updated my review after each season. I don't plan to watch the fourth season. My recommendation is watch the first season, then move on. Season 1: 9/10 Season 2: 6/10. Season 3: 4/10.",6 "I started watching this but after the FOURTH flashback in the first episode I gave it up as a bad job. A show which has to put that many flashbacks in simply to pad it out for a few more series isn't worth watching.",1 "It is a story of bullying and the consequences that surround and results the suicide of a young girl is told in a very unique way that keeps the viewer gripped as to the next relavation . The second reason to watch is the great acting by all. Having gone to an all girls school I never experienced what it would be like with boys at school,yes there was bullying in a girls school but the dimensions are much more in a mixed sex school. Coming from Uk the school system is nothing like the States ,no baseball teams cheerleaders ,guns etc .the school in the story seems extreme but maybe that's the way they needed to make the storyline work?",8 "Season 1 is very strong in storytelling , Hope the other season don't spoil the masterpiece.",9 "The movie is based on the location of Bangladesh. A rising economy of the current world. Highest conteibutor in UN peace mission with our brave army. But it is an irony that the movie didn't represent the 1% of the actual scenerio of Dhaka. Even the language is borrowed from West Bengal, all over the places, hindhi songs were playing, how could be? Kid gangs are displayed, Army , elit force, Rab and police are under control of a drug dealer! How pathetic is that. It's seemes like that Bangladesh is a country who are undergoing through massive war and everywhere there is slum areas. I will not have any problem if it would be a video game with unknown place and unknown language. But they should visit Dhaka before making this childish movie I have ever seen. I am damn sure Netflix gonna block in our country very soon.",1 "There are some films that start boring or stupid then you get some great finale and you feel like it was all worth it. But when it happens the other way around, it makes one angry and ready to nitpick every little mistake. I rated the first Knives Out movie 9/10 and so I expected this to be at least entertaining, especially after rumors that it was a stupid film. And it was entertaining. I enjoyed the beginning, waiting for the other shoe to drop, but then it dropped and it was kind of... well... dumb., yet still fun. But then it went further, I was waiting to see who killed who and what was the motive and all of that and getting along with my things, but then the ending came about. And it sucked! I mean it really really left a bitter taste in my mouth. I can't go into details without spoiling it, but it was like Ryan wanted to go Super Saiyan and instead just farted. The actors were fine, Kate Hudson still looks amazing at 42, I enjoyed them all even though their characters were walking clichés and not really that fleshed out. I liked the sets as well, the mood was set up really well. And then that ending... Bottom line: most mystery films look smarter than they are, and this is no exception, but I expected that. What I didn't expect is an ending that completely dropped the ball and ruined the whole experience. P. S. Also, I am so tired of the righteous angry Black woman trope.",7 "The whole thing starts off slightly silly, melodramatic, ham acting, cringeworthy dialogue, and goes downhill from there. Unfortunately there was just enough intrigue and pace to keep me watching until the middle of the last episode, at which point I couldn't watch any more, I no longer cared how it ended because it was just so, so, so utterly ridiculous",1 "A drama movie nominated for many Oscars and awards (29 wins), directed by Steven Spielberg who made a great movies such as saving private Ryan, Jurassic world, MIB, transformers... The story of the film is based on true stories and it is about a young man ""Samy - Spielberg"" who discovered his love and patience and creativity about making films and this represent the beginning of a great career if Spielberg, and this guide him to discover one of the big family secret. Great plot, acting, cinematography, I like how ""Samy-spielberg"" nailed it especially in the war film making, it was so creative than, the films shows how movies can manipulate reality also, it was 150 minutes that you don't feel it at all, story of one of the greatest directors .. it deserves to be watched.",8 "I finally started watching this after hearing left and right about how amazing it is. I've watched the first 4 episodes so far and I don't see it. It's quite boring at times, there's about a thousand close-ups on the actress's face which is expressionless, the character build-up isn't impressive (you can find far better in many other series) with the two main characters being quite bland, also the chemistry between them isn't there. I cannot root for Beth because she seems to do things out of spite, she's got a superiority complex and not be a very nice person overall. I'll literally struggle to finish this series and completely disappointed.",6 "As Robert Downey Jr's ribald characterization of Tony Stark would say, this film is ""the shiznit"". I think. We've had a couple of twists and turns over this journey, but now this one is finally here. I am not sure if it's some kind of landmark, or maybe the start of a different kind of Avengers film (more Avengers per film?), but this one is definitely the one that it is, and it's the new one. There's more Avengers in this film than have ever been in a film before. More than the 98 Avengers or 2012, or even more than has ever been featured in any of the MCU movies owned by Disney. There's Spider-Man... he's the new kid on the block, always flashing his eye at the old Iron Man and the big boys. In this one he becomes one of them. Also flashing his points is Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, the ant man. He becomes one of the big leagues in this film. If you've never seen an Avenger film before, don't start here. You'll be confused. This film is mainly easter egg throwbacks to the other films, but done in big fashion. Remember the joke in ""Iron Man 2"" about Iron Man Tony Stark putting on his underoos? Well, there's a big payoff for that joke here. The plot of the film focuses on Captain America, but really this is the story of Tony Stark coming to terms with the past, present, and future of the entire GALAXY! So there is no nationalism here... not just the entire world is included, but the whole of space as well as the Guardians of the Galaxy. There is so much meat here it's like all you can eat fried shrimp at Red Lobster. Bucky the Winter Soldier is in this film and he is better than ever in the third installment of the Captain America franchise. Go see this film! The film culminates in what is one of the most exciting sequences of television I've ever seen: ""the airport battle"". This is a good battle and the best action ever put to film on film. Robert Downjey R does his own stunts. So... let's see. Is there any reason not to see this film? Only if you don't like it. But for the rest of us, and I do mean ALL of us (this is one of the most inclusive films ever made), this is the newest Avenger film so let's go see it and also it's the best. As a sequel to Winter Soldier it's thrilling, as a sequel to Age of Ultron it ""expands"" on the story, just like Spider-Man's new ""expandex"" costume. Go see him.",9 "I was so disappointed in the film, that I actually took the time to confirm my email address in order to leave a review. Completely borrowed storyline, basically a spoof of the Marvel multi-verse concept. Ridiculous, bizarre, shock-value stunts throughout, with no real meat or heart to the plot. Cliche and predictable ending. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 is that they *tried* to have a feel-good movie about life choices and regrets, but it leaves way too much to be desired. I don't understand the good rating whatsoever- usually IMDB is spot on, but not this time. Avoid this movie at all costs.",2 "The first ten minutes of the first episode is the only reason I'm giving this five stars. Somehow, the acting is wooden, devoid of any humour or dynamism. The humour remark may jarr with some but, let's be honest here, when faced with life changing, heartbreaking situations, the human condition is to add some levity. And I mean that on a minute level, not as an overarching thing. Potentially detonating bombs on city streets obviously isn't funny but, watch this show just to see how clinical it is. The dialogue is sixth form play level. Choice examples: ""I'm not the queen. You CAN touch me"" ""oh please don't be one of those blokes who's intimidated by women who are more powerful than them"". Delivered by the Home Secretary. To a close protection officer! Really? I wasn't sure about Richard Madden in Game of Thrones. Now I'm absolutely certain. Not for me. Nor this show.",5 "I loved this show. I loved that it was not your typical plot line. I'm not understanding any of the lower ratings. Excellent acting, great plot and quite a few twists to keep you guessing.",8 "This is a slapstick, true to the word. If you've watched Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer, you'll feel right at home with this flick. I was able to recognize a few people from Shaolin Soccer in this movie; including sing's sidekick who plays the overweight brother in SS. There is action in this movie, but don't come in here expecting a real action movie, even if the action director here is the action director of the Matrix(so I've heard), in reality, even the fights were goofy(save for a few, people do get killed in this one). Overall with its great cast of over the top wacky characters, a so-so story line, and some clever gags, this movie has something for everyone.",8 "I fear for the future of the MCU at this point. Up until recently, the standout fact about the MCU for me was that there were almost no truly bad MCU entries. Sure, the Incredible Hulk and Thor: the Dark World are oft-cited as low-points... but I don't see either as truly BAD. These were mediocre at worst. But, phase 4 of the MCU has some of the best and most thoughtful entries to date (Spiderman: No Way Home, Wandavision, Loki), standing alongside some of the most disappointing ones (Black Widow, Hawkeye). I have no idea what to expect from the MCU moving forward. More concerning, perhaps, is that I don't think fans know what they want, either. Reviews coloring Falcon and the Winter Soldier as worse than Hawkeye have me truly puzzled, as the former at least had some truly character development and performances and a bold storyline, even if they couldn't ever really figure out how to make it work in the end (because Marvel perhaps couldn't decide what it wanted either?). Then... there is Eternals. What I would call the first truly, unabashedly bad. Not just ""bad"" in the sense that it was not good... very close to being unwatchably bad. Going into Moon Knight, though, I was hopeful. I had heard that this was Marvel attempting to get more gritty and dark. ""Pulling no punches"" is, I think how Kevin Feige put in according to an interview I read. GREAT. That's what I wanted to see to freshen up and add some much-needed edginess to the MCU roster. As a character, Moon Knight seemed like an interesting and sensible choice for leading this push. Lots of interesting territory to explore there... and with a character most of the non-comicbook-reading public hasn't heard of, there'd be tons of room for character exploration. What I got was lots of pulled punches. It's still squarely in the PG-13 space and as far as I saw didn't push the envelope one bit, unless you count a slightly less self-conscious kill count... there are lots of deaths in Moon Knight and they are acknowledged ones, many at the hands of the main character, which is for the MCU I GUESS a step toward grittiness considering that usually the heroes are laying down enormous destruction and doing away with lots of ""bad guys"", in a script that encourages the audience to not think to hard about their fate. But, otherwise, what violence there is, is still very sanitized probably falling short of Venom, let alone a Deadpool movie. The ""bad boy"" vibe they put out in anticipation of this series is neither earned nor delivered upon. OK, but I wouldn't care if the tone didn't fit the expectations they set up if the end result was still good. It's not. Up until the last episode it was a pretty much on par with Hawk Eye, which itself resembled a bowl of Lucky Charms: a very bland and disappointing filler, with some tasty bits here and there. But, for me it's high point (the culmination of Mark and Steven wrestling with their inner conflict and shared origin) was also it's low point (it was a good plot line that was presented in a style that didn't do justice to its gravity). And then it jumped the shark with the introduction of a really bad CGI hippo god voice acted in a way that simultaneously reminded me that the MCU is under the Disney umbrella, and triggered me to have memories of the moment in the Phantom Menace when Jar Jar Binks first appeared and I sat there thinking ""what the hell are they doing"". But, even then, this was still hovering around the pre-Eternals watermark of failure for me. It was the last episode that catapulted this to new heights. I'm glad it was the finale, because if there were more episodes to come I would have to seriously debate whether to throw in the towel and stop watching. The editing of this episode is plain bad. With abrupt and nonsensical transitions at some point to where it breaks continuity, let alone pacing, which itself was as rushed as any season finale's ""oh crap, we've got to wrap this up fast"" mess I've had to sit through. This is still better than Eternals overall... But as it was several times the time investment almost makes me more disappointed in Moon Knight. They could have told a much smaller, more intimate story here that would have done much more justice to the more intimate internal character conflict. They could have followed Wandavision or Loki by truly keeping the audience guessing as to what was going on, what was real. They seem to have tried that a bit, but it's hard to excel at that if you're too busy working around yet another tired ""save the world"" plot. They could have shed more light on the relationship between Mark/Steven and his wife, their past, why they care about each other. But instead, we got a female-Egyptian version of Falcon thrown in. Well, at least they still managed to hit whatever representation quotas they were trying to fill there, even though the story gives us virtually no reason to care about this character even as a regular person. So, I'm leaving Moon Knight with my morale shaken. I've going forward having decided to not even bother with Morbius after seeing the overwhelmingly bad reviews. And now, Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, one of my most anticipated films of this year, is starting to trickle out an increasingly distressing reception. I can't forgo that one, because I've been too hyped up for it... but if that one is anywhere near the level of Moon Knight, let alone Eternals, it may be what gets me to tune out of the MCU for a while.",4 "They must have loved the hell out of this script to pump 150 mil Into it. A movie needs to get me hooked in its story 20 to 30 mins. 5o minutes in now. I can't make sense of. I'm about to turn off,",1 "1986 ... I'm a teenager who loves Physics very much ... I was in shock when I learnt about the Chernobyl disaster from newspaper back then ... but not knowing much. Now ... this series has been a great reminder to me of my fear backdated 33 years ago ... Salute to the unsung heroes ...",9 "*Review by someone who has never read the books or played the game but really enjoyed this series nonetheless* First of all, the polish in every aspect is fantastic. The effects, costumes and production are all top notch. The performances are also brilliant, particularly Henry Cavill as Geralt. This leaves two major things: Plot and Action. It delivers in both areas. Some of the choreography is phenomenal (end of episode 1 anyone?) and the use of magic leads to inventive strategies during battles. The monster designs are also varied and interesting. Plot and character wise, the show fully delivers on too once you realise it's three separate timelines unfolding at once. It has me invested in the fates of Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri, the over-arching storyline continuously developed within each episode. Overall, I highly recommend watching.",8 "Terrible interpretation of what happened at Dunkirk. Nothing redeeming, just don't watch it!",2 "All the normal criticism aside, this show has messed me up psychologically and has effectively messed up two friendships, big time. Would not recommend. The desired effect WAS NOT achieved. It was very irresponsibly handled and the producers/directors did not understand the point at all. I hope the show burns to the ground.",1 "This show is incredible. With everyone currently obsessing over anime nowadays, this show is one that i feel is overlooked, mostly because it is an American made cartoon and is not technically anime. The show is centered around a war between the fire nation and the rest of the world including the Water tribe and the earth kingdom (The air nomads were not involved as they were all killed off by the fire lord to prevent the re-incarnation of the avatar). The world is full of people called benders, who have the ability to manipulate and control a specific element e.g. earth, fire, water, air. The Avatar is the only one who can master all 4 elements, yet he disappeared at the start of the war. Aang has been frozen in ice for 100 years, since the war started. He is awakened by Katara, a water bender from the south pole, and her brother Sokka. It is quickly revealed that Aang is in fact the Avatar who disappeared at the start of the war and is the last air bender in the world. The rest of the show then focuses on his journey across the world to master the 4 elements and defeat the fire lord, ending the war. The show is bursting with originality, from the overall premise of the plot to the beautifully crafted lore behind it. The characters are all fantastic and fill their own respective character roles very well. Aang is a goofy 12 year old kid afraid of the responsibility that has been thrust upon him and has to learn to accept the fact that he is tasked to save the world. Katara is the caring and sensible mother figure, usually with a very level head. Sokka is the funny guy constantly cracking one liners, and ones that cause real genuine laughter and never cease to be funny. Even the characters of Appa and Momo, Aang's animal companions, are extremely lovable and even provide some great moments of themselves, one of the main story arcs of series 2 revolving around Appa (a flying ""Sky Bison""). The many other characters in the show are also all amazing, although there are two many to write about. It also switches seamlessly from fun and goofy comedy to awesome and awe inspiring action. If i have convinced one person to watch this show from this review, i will consider it a success. This show is amazing and is my personal favorite show of all time",10 "Great filmmaking, but Tarantino seems no longer capable of writing an inspiring script. Caught in (self-)references, he indulges in redundant figures and not all too funny dialogues. He seemingly lost his sense of how to convey a story.",5 "This show is really unwatchable due to the shaky camera. Not even in quiet and eventless scenes is the camera held steady. It's annoying, distracting, and breaks immersion. I can only guess that having a hand-held camera is an intentional decision to distract viewers from the fact that the show is very unoriginal, and brings absolutely nothing new to the genres of zombies and post-apocalypses. At least not in the first two episodes. It's full of tired tropes from the genres, that's already been done to death. It's also very predictable, and the story progression is painfully slow. Not much happening, really. The acting is good, and the special effects are ok. The show would have been ok, and at least watchable, if it hadn't been for the shaky camera. I mean, not every show or movie has to reinvent the genre and surprise viewers with something original, but the shaky camera is a real dealbreaker. I also really don't understand the hype for this show. I haven't played the game, though, but i probably will when it's released on Steam. Hopefully it's better than this show.",1 "It seems like many people want to debate whether this movie was better than it's predecessor. It is an interesting discussion, I suppose. You know what there is no debate about, though? Both of them are wildly entertaining. Usually, movie franchises depress me. I don't need 15 different versions of the same thing. I don't need brilliant directors forced to paint by numbers. I don't need every movie to look the same. But if Netflix wants to let Rian Johnson keep making Knives Out movies? Sign me up, baby. The mysteries and misdirection are fun enough on their own, but it is the wit and social satire that make me excited for whatever comes next. Everyone making this movie seemed to have a great time...but I had a better time watching it.",8 "Most people in their life believe that a superhero movie is just about a person in their bright colored outfits fighting crimes, where the punches that they throw at the crooks explode with a BLAM, KAPOW, BOOM feel. Just like the Adam West Batman series. This movie is totally different from those cheesy, campy Hero flicks. This movie mixes a brilliant story that is fun to follow, action scenes that aren't always occurring just because their there. Fight scenes should have a good reason for starting, instead of just coming from nowhere. The characters have a deep emotional feel to them and feel like they are a main part on the story. I believe that this is the best superhero movie around and is a must-see.",10 "It's amazing. The performances are all either good or amazing, it has a lot of tension, it's really dark and the final fight between Daredevil and Kingpin.. it's one of the most satisfying to watch thanks to how well was it build up throughout the season. Well done.",9 "Season 1: good (8-9) season 2,3: great (9) season 4: bad (7) together: 8-9 my rating: 8",8 Not a fan maybe In Mid season or near end it will be ok to watch it's not for me . I don't think it's gonna work but I been wrong before many times.I litterally hit FF through it hoping for something other then what I grew up with ill watch it only for Easter eggs of the future MCU,7 Iron Man 2 starts off where the first one left off and hits the ground running from there. Tony Stark is a national icon Iron Man is seen by a grateful American public as a protector. The government sees the armour as a weapon of mass power that should not be in the hands of just one man. Then there is Justin Hammer a Business rival of Tony Stark's who is obsessed with creating his own Iron Man armour and mass producing it. the Trouble is this the tech used for Iron Man is so superior to anything out there that Stark figures it will take at least twenty years to create an armour like his. Tony is living large and hiding a tragic secret but on top of all of that comes Ivan Vanko or Whiplash armed with tech. Dangerously close to Starks Vanko wants revenge . plus there is betrayal spy work and of course the Black widow wonderfully played by Scarlett Johansson and the ever gruff super spy tough guy legend Nick Fury played by the one and only Sam.L.Jackson. The movie moves at a rocket pace and delivers the acting is solid the story is strong and the story ties up all the loose ends plus gives us more Iron Man and the introduction of War Machine Tony's best friend and fellow crime fighter. Mickey Rouke carries his part with cold sinister menace he and RDJ are the movie and you won't take your eyes off of them. Worth seeing ? YES!,10 "I feel like this film was made for people with an attention deficit disorder. In the first few minutes I found myself actually hating the movie. I feel like I usually have patience to see films through... But not this one... The car chase scene starts at around 3 minutes and progressively gets worse. By the 12 minute mark I had to turn off the movie. They over used the slow motion feature, and it feels like the dialogues were poorly written. I don't know what else to say other than, skip this movie and watch something else.",1 "Damn! I just watched episode four (as the time I'm writing this episode 4 has just released) and this is, without doubt, the best series I have EVER seen!",8 "Not sure how this movie has such a high rating. Maybe Adam Sandler still has a huge following. Anyway the intro starts with dialogues over some background music which was a huge headache. Throughout the movie, the argument and the noise is thoroughly unappealing. The story isn't all that great either. If there's anything good then it's the acting and overall screenplay.",4 """Shaft"" is an entertaining and funny movie based on the character from the 70´s. The storyline of Shaft´s estranged son that looks for his help to find the truth about the death of his best friend and ends with his grandfather, the original Shaft, helping them to resolve the situation, is forgettable but worthwhile watching. Samuel L. Jackson, Jessie T. Usher and Richard Roundtree together in a possible sequel is promising. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): ""Shaft""",6 "This movie was incredible. I laughed my ass off so often, I actually felt pain in my stomach...I laughed so hard that people in the theater were laughing at me...for a comedy, that's enough to go check it out. But no, Superbad has a great story, and it ends on such a sweet, aw shucks note that you'll instantly fall in love with it. It's very crude and perverse...but the brilliance and the awkwardness captured is fantastic. I can't stop gushing, but Superbad makes everything else this year meek in comparison. I've been waiting a long time, and I can say, it lived up to the hype. The performances were great, the script was great, it pushed on boundaries and made me laugh...what's not to love. A true classic.",10 "Ok, so it had a very slow start, till E 4 when nothings started rolling and got interesting. It was good, but not wow as many of the reviews, as for the ending, was expecting it to be different and better instead of a silly girl fight.",7 "Talk about poor casting! I'd rather see Daniel Craig shooting it out as Bond in a wheelchair than in this role. And what's with that voice? Did he lip-synch the entire movie? I didn't realize Mel Blanc was still alive. Holy cow! It's a barely satisfactory mystery that is told in too long a viewing period. And the writing is annoying. Also, the not so subtle political overtones are just annoying. From the get-go, even my wife said, ""Uh-oh! This has that phony feel to it Bob. Let's give it a chance though. It has high reviews"" We did, and we regretted it. They drafted some decent folks sure, but Overacting + pseudo-pompousity= Nauseating. Okay, now for the weak aspects.... That's enough. A movie perfect for the sleeping woke.",1 "As most of the people have, I just returned from the theater and am writing my review. Now lets start out with what I thought was good about the film: 1.The acting is much better than previous movies, especially Emma Watson 2. This movie captures all major details of the book, only leaving very minor things out and changing a few 3.The movie is good at capturing your attention and definitely does not seem as long as the 140 minutes it runs 4. There isn't really anything that inappropriate in this movie, it is only PG-13 because of violence (which isn't even that bad) so you could bring your children if you wished 5. The action scenes are well done. Although sometimes they can be difficult to follow, they still include the suspense you want them to in order to elevate what happens next. And if you cant follow them...it's a book and movie that is largely based on action, why would you be watching it then? 6. Even if you're not the most die-hard Harry Potter fan, you should be able to follow along quite well without even having read the books. (Although I have read all of them, that part is coming from my numerous friends who also saw it) 7. It is difficult to make a movie based off of a book, because people always complain that people who haven't read the book can't follow along, or that people who have see that they've left out details, but with the plot of J.K Rowling combined with the directing of Yates, it works out nicely. And, since every movie has them, the negatives. There aren't too many, and most of these are just minor things, but here they are anyway 1. This movie is long. As I said earlier it is appropriate for most audiences, but younger children,who are generally easier distracted, may get bored despite how interesting the movie is 2. Not really a complaint about the movie itself, but it is sold out almost everywhere, so you may not get to pick your seats. Now I can handle a movie from anywhere in the theater, but if you sit near the front row it may be quite painful to look straight up for 2 hours. And since it is such a large screen you may miss some of the action if you sit too close. But, as I said, this doesn't have anything to do with the actual movie 3. Now a lot of people complained about this and obviously I am going to also. The end is pretty good, they added some extra action to make it more exciting, but no matter how good the ending of a movie is, I doubt you can capture that suspense in your audience for 8 months. And the ending didn't really seem to excite me much, If you've read the book, then you know what is coming and it won't be as exciting. 4. Which leads me to my next complaint. Of course I have this one. 8 months? You have to wait that long for part two to come out? By that time most people will have forgotten a lot of what happened in the movie (especially if you didn't read the book) and you will probably have to watch it again on a DVD. Now technically 8 months isn't tooo long to wait, we've waited longer for sequels to movies just as popular, but if it is another part of the movie instead of a separate movie, that is kind of long. But I guess I would rather watch a movie that you had to wait for which is fully complete and good, than a movie that is 3 and a half hours long and so cramped that half of what happens in the book is left out. And this is the last book, so not exactly the time to be leaving out details. Moral of the story? Despite my complaints and the wait, a good movie. Should entertain you for a good 2 hours, and no really major flaws. And besides, complaining about how long part 2 is going to take to come out doesn't have to actually do anything with part 1. So if you want to go see J.K Rowling's great novel in the form of a film, go to the theater...that is if it isn't sold out yet.",8 "This movie is amazing. It perfectly describes womanhood in a way few movies that I've seen has. It shows how different women and men are treated and also the feeling of growing up as a woman. I started to miss all my childhood Barbies that we gave to my little cousin now. It's also completely hilarious and the cast is absolutely perfect. Almost No one else could play Barbie and Ken as good as Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling has. Even though it's technically about Barbie's DOSENT MEAN that it's aimed for children. It's perfect for women of all ages, and for men to learn more about what it's like to simply grow up and simply exist as a woman.",10 "But I just couldnt stand Dr. Smith....Her mimic art, her gestures, her whole behaviour...Just so damn annoying. Had to stop after E04...",5 "This movie was a complete mess, after all the years of build up, I didn't care. It was like putting an entire smörgåsbord into a very small bowl. All the flavours and textures blended and lost their appeal. Only two characters stood out, Thor and Antman.",2 This actually makes the Transformers sequels look like masterpieces.,1 "Ok so the movie was alright until there was a speech by a woman on how you gotta be thin but not too thin and you shouldn't say you want to be thin but you gotta say you want to look healthy and so forth and onto other topics as well. I was left thinking ""chill out"" and also that this supposedly middle aged woman sounded more like someone in her 20s to me than a mature woman who'd had the time to grow more secure in herself. The fact that I'm commenting more on the messaging of the movie rather than the jokes tells you that although it's marketed as a fun comedy it's primarily a vehicle for contemporary social commentary. In my view it doesn't do what it says on the tin. I think I would have liked it more if it didn't feel like a bait and switch. If they had been open from the start that it was a social message movie I'd have gone into it with different expectations.",4 "A free man is captured and sold into slavery. This film was based on a true story, so for folks like Solomon Northup, there's no escaping the memory of torment from his oppressors. All he has is hope and the will to survive, and that speaks volumes even in today's world. Brutal to watch (which is the point) but much more difficult to live out (the actors- I commend you). Steve McQueen takes you on a roller-coaster of emotions. From anger to rage to bewilderment to despair to understanding to hope. There's no sugar-coating any of it; what you get is raw, unfiltered storytelling here, and the actors grab onto it with courage and dive off the deep- end, pulling you along with it. This film will rip your heart out and hopefully stitch it back together again. 8/10",8 "Bhuvan bham acting was just awesome. Keeping his acting aside If I say about the series story it could be made a little more better. I experienced lot of thrill, suspense, comedy, hurt but all of this reminded for a short time. If I personally say there should be more episodes to describe the scene more perfectly. The starting for the vaardan was just boring. There should be some more details upon that. Something like vaardan is not so easy to and if basant could get after much helpful duty you should have should that. The series was too short. Btw I love the series. I gave 5 stars out of 10 for the story and 8 stars for bhuvan bham acting.",7 "Firstly i am an NOT AN SRK Or KJo fan, i am simple good movie lover and this movie rocks! The movie is a slow one, thats why so people have found this movie boring,without actually judging the merit of the movie!The movie scores everywhere but there are some mishaps in direction, excellent acting,good screenplay,followed by good execution of plot! in short MNIK rocks, My Name is Anarchy , and i am not a terrorist! :) the story is about a journey of a man, to meet the president of America to prove that all Muslims are not terrorist.Although sounds a joke or impossible task, the man has aspergers syndrome and he sees the world differently, humanity and not religion that binds together the human relationships. He later emerges as a national inspirer, how and under what circumstances tahts the story!",10 "I have thus far been nearly immune to the talents of Judd Apatow and his merry band of funmeisters. I have never seen ""Knocked Up"" or ""Superbad"" or ""Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby"". No doubt one day I will. I have seen ""The 40 Year Old Virgin"" and ""Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy"" on TV and found them... well... OK, I suppose. Not really my cup of tea, but nothing awful enough to make me want to change the channel. I went to see ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"" last Monday. So, why exactly did I bother to see it, when everything in the press has pointed out that it is exactly the same as every other Judd Apatow produced movie? Frankly, nowt else on at the cinema that I could be bothered with. (Indy? ""Sex And The City""? Thank you, but No.) ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"" again, is OK. Really it is. OK is good and better than not OK. Not a disaster, not a masterpiece, but OK and alright, and it does the job it sets out to do. Funny in parts, grossly rude in others. Some nice performances from Jason Segel, Kristen Bell and the UK's very own Russell Brand. Interesting to read that Russell Brand is generally considered to have stolen every scene in which he appears, when Brits will tell you that what he is doing is a watered down version of the standard shtick he has been using on British TV and radio since his UK breakthrough a couple of years back. Still, if it works, why not? ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"" has done the expected business in the UK and the States and is a competent piece of comedy. Could be a lot worse.",6 Only because it's not better than Anand or Andaz apna apna or 100 of movies for that matter,1 "An all-time favorite show and must-watch. I fell in love with this show when I was a kid, and now an adult I feel the same love, but with more appreciation. When we're children we get to live in a world that is somehow only made up of people our age-we act like the only other people we need are our friends. Of course, this isn't true, but it's a beautiful sentiment, and one that is extrapolated excellently by the creators and writer of The Last Airbender. Continuing on with this theme, the show makes approachable many different problems that touch on both coming of age in general, as well as growing up in a world at war. The gang of protagonist characters deal with crushes as well as refugee camps and are faced not only with the need to make decisions, but also the consequences of their actions. At the very beginning of Season 1, we meet protagonist Aang who must confront the consequences of his actions, and the antagonist, Zuko, who believes that he must achieve his destiny. These two serve as character foils throughout the series, serving as another great mechanism to approach the pains of growing up. On a different note, the animation and world-building are incredible. The planet that the show is set on, and the natural rules governing it, largely differ from our own, but are quite recognizable. Moreover, the show and its fantastic creatures are beautiful, creative, and stay with the audience even after turning off the TV.",10 "The film will certainly keep you on the edge of the seat till the end. Kudos to Ramkumar's intelligent screenplay. One of the remarkable work for Ghibran , sets the apt mood for horror & suspense, elevating the movie to a cult classic. Movie would be more crisp avoiding few cliche & songs.",10 "A well written film that touches on many aspects fairly and balance it well. Monk (Played by Jeffrey Wright) is a writer and novelist who gets himself into many challenges after 'mockingly' writing a novel that in his opinion does not fit the criteria of what a novel that represents the African American cultural should be. In addition of the novel, he suffers mentally and physically with some family issues and revisits some of his family's secretes and past. The film discusses guilt, loneliness, regret, self control, love, hate, disgust and many more all through mainly Jeffrey Wright's character in which he gives one of the best performances of his career. As well as the supporting actors that gave the film it's topics and helped in delivering them. The ending (last 2 minutes) is quiet disappointing and should've taken another direction. It was weird and did not fit with what we have been watching for the past 1h 58m. However, this did not ruin the whole experience of the film. Finally, the jazz themed music score that reflects on our protagonist and African American culture was truly the perfect choice for this film and did fit the story and events very well.",7 "Quite enjoyable, but curtailed a bit by rather dated stuff; '60s mindfvuk throwback sci-fi, slimy horror beasties, and the usual idiomatic film ""stings"" hedge the whole enterprise 'round, to my mind. What's good? The production work is fantastic. The casting, acting, direction, set work, editing and the rest are top-shelf. Taking the dated nature of the horror idiom work into account, the writing is fine. That summarizes it. If you like a fairly well-told tale of psychic lab escapees tapping parallel realities for evils that can (hopefully) serve state power, mixed with period, aw-shucks small-town folksiness (including nerd/punk kids), plus a measure of dated horror film idiom thrown in... ...check it out.",8 "The plot seems to be really interesting but some scenes irks me. Especially Klaus and the (often) dancing scenes, plus weird cuts... It would be a lot better if they'd let a few things out and wouldn't make Klaus an over the top gay person.",6 "I love Stranger Thing Seasons 1-3. It was this campy sci-fi thriller reminiscent of Spielberg films with a little bit of Steven King vibes thrown in. Unfortunately without any warning of the brutality that awaited in season 4 I was expecting the same good scares without going overboard into disturbing-meaning I could still go to bed without being riddled with anxiety and panic. We'll season 4 episode one will be the only episode I will watch. Gone are the campy and nostalgic vibes only to be replaced by disturbing deaths and melancholy. It completely my lost me as a fan/viewer as well as others in my family. Sorry there is a line some shouldn't cross, but this to me is the downfall of fame going to the directors heads. Maybe you should have left a good thing alone instead of being one of those directors that wants to see how far you can push the gore. Yea I'm not into that. I prefer Spielberg over the depressing and disturbing vibe of Steven King. If you like the movie It this season 4 is perfect for you-but I don't prefer it.",7 On first viewing this excellent and entertaining show I have it full marks. I believed it to be a scientifically accurate account of the disaster. It spurred me to do my own research on the subject and it transpires that too much of the show is over dramatised unfortunately. It's left me feeling a bit duped really.,7 "As a movie enthusiast and a long-time Barbie fan, I was intrigued to watch ""Barbie"". This film is not just a typical Barbie story - it's a cinematic masterpiece that beautifully blends fantasy and reality. The first thing that struck me was the film's technical excellence. The seamless transition between the vibrant Barbie Land and real-world scenes was done masterfully. It added depth to the narrative, elevating it from a kids' movie to a thought-provoking film. The highlight for me was the bold exploration of feminism. The film did not tiptoe around this topic, making it culturally relevant and significant. The blend of serious discussions with light-hearted humor was impressive, offering a fresh take on the classic Barbie tale. The characters were memorable and relatable. Barbie and Ken, in particular, were portrayed with a mix of exaggerated humor and genuine emotion. The film articulated a powerful message about self-identity and the struggle between maintaining perfection and dealing with life's complexities. However, there were aspects I found disappointing. The narrative moved away from Barbie Land too quickly, leaving me wanting more. Also, the film's constant self-reference to its cleverness felt overdone after a while. Despite these minor flaws, ""Barbie"" surpasses expectations. Its technical brilliance, feminist undertones, and the balance of humor and emotion make it a must-watch. It's a unique take on the Barbie world, and I highly recommend it.",7 If you've ever put both shoes on the wrong foot that's this i mean. This show had no accuracy but not for a lack of aim. Wandavision is just their names. I pre fer wanda and cosmo of the oddparents . Respectfully,9 "I'm not typically hard to please with action movies, can sit through about anything. Honestly it's just an ok movie. Without Hemsworth in it I don't think it would have been worth watching. He surprised me that he could pull off a character that was so serious. Like most of the other reviews I do agree that the plot is typical and kind of predictable. Didn't finish it all in one sitting. With nothing new coming out anytime soon this is still welcomed pleasantly though. Netflix is definitely on another level.",6 "This film was so bad i was laughing through most of it. Luckily i didnt pay to see it. Extremely odd, terribly acting, no sense of authenticity from the 'characters' either. This film is also extremely politically incorrect to be honest. Is this actually glamorising freak shows?! Its putting freak shows and dehumanising acts in a positive light. How they thought a light hearted musical could be combined with tantalising freaks and encaging animals is beyond me. Of course its fictional, but its message is completely deluded and confusing. Please watch for yourself (without paying!!!) for laughs, but do not pay for this. Hilariously terrible.",2 I watched this film four times ....will watch it again n again. Totally engrossing n tight script. This movie is about the boundless bravery n dedication of our Indian soldiers n the right decision of Indian govt. UNKA JAWAB HUM UNHI KI BHASHA MEIN DENGE. It overflowed every citizens' emotion with patriotism. HOW'S THE JOSH became a sort of anthem in every mouth n Vicky Kaushal the 'nation heart throb' Hats off to the whole team for the great movie .....content is the king.We don't need big superstars to make a hit,10 "Saw the film on opening day...great fun! If you liked the original, you'll love the sequel. I've never seen a superhero movie as human as this one...the first one showed Pete's human side, but once he put on the Spidey costume, he was cool as a cucumber. In Part 2, that human frailty also shows even when Pete's in costume...he delivers pizzas, loses his powers, and often loses his mask. Very well done. As nerdy as Pete was in SM1, he's even more so in the sequel. That's not a bad thing...the director does a great job of capturing the essence of the comic books. What was especially great about this film is that it really built upon the first. Almost everything from the first film had consequences in this one...from Pete's guilt to not stopping the robber who eventually killed Uncle Ben to Harry Osborn finding Pete standing over his dead father. And of course Pete's decision to walk away from Mary Jane at the end of SM1. All those issues and more come into play in SM2. Sam Raimi and all those involved have crafted an excellent followup to the original SM movie. Just as Pete sought his destiny as SM, the franchise has found its destiny: Mega-Blockbuster. 10 out of 10.",9 """The Fabelmans"" is Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiograpical origin story about his youth, love of filmmaking, the joys and trials of family, and the increasing complexities of life on the trip from childhood to maturity. The film opens in the 1950s with the parents of Spielberg's stand-in, ""Sammy"", taking their child to his first cinematic outing, an experience which delights, but also triggers his latent fears and anxieties. His intuitive mother discerns his underlying psychology, and offers him a home movie camera as a tool to help manage his fears, and it quickly becomes his means of documenting and enhancing the joys of childhood. His father, a steady and practical scientist, is dismissive of the interest as mere hobby, but his mother, an artistic and passionate pianist, comprehends and sympathizes with her child's creative bent. Sammy rapidly develops skill in his creative outlet, using this ""hobby"" to explore his rapidly expanding adolescent world, but soon his exploration leads to an insight that shakes the foundations of his young life. He must deal with this while also learning to navigate the increasing complexities of approaching adulthood. The moral of this ""fable"" seems to be that real life is never ideal. It's often more complicated, painful, and prone to broken dreams than we ever expect as children, but we each have gifts which can bless others. Though Sammy's childhood wasn't in all respects what he may have hoped, he finds that through his imagination and artistry in visual storytelling he can offer an audience a well told tale, and at least within that realm ensure a happy ending. A thoughtful, engaging, and at times humorous ode to Spielberg's own youth, this well written, acted, and directed film falls short of being ""great"", but nonetheless satisfies and is well worth viewing. 7/10.",7 "As usual, the Hollywood hype on films is way out of line.This movie has all the charisma of a fart in the wind.Lousy script, lousy acting, but lots of CG razzle dazzle.I feel that they pump these superhero films out with little thought as to script and story.Just get em out fast must be the motto. One has to wonder if todays generation give these films a high rating, due to the fact that they haven't actually seen a good film in the last 20 years.It's just the status quo in cinema to just make money, thoughtful, entertaining films be damned! Anyways, I'm done with the whole DC/Marvel BS.They can kiss my rusty sheriffs badge if they want my movie money in the future.",3 The best episode in whole season 2...

Truly a masterpiece movie. A dog that acts bro!! The expression + acting of the dog is really worth watching. No one can believe how deep the bond between dog and owner can be without seeing this movie. I won't give any spoilers. Let's just say this movie will not disappoint you.

But all the same when has seen this animated cartoon, I have taken away the words back. It is not pleasant to me a little that one series lasts only 25 minutes and comes to an end on the most interesting place. But it draws even more to look, and to look constantly. Characters are good. Good humour. I do not love when characters very abrupt, and that has come and at once has banged somebody. Here cools does not disturb. I do not know why. In general, it is possible to describe hours pluses of this animated cartoon, but I will tell быстро:всё that I have written, speaks about that that it is one of the best cartoon films!",10 A much darker sequel worth watching after seeing the origin story to better enjoy the love/hate relationship between the antihero and his providential parasitic protector.,6 "If you like your movies to be nothing but one long car chase and no story then yes, this will do it for you. But a bit more intrigue, and well developed characters would have done a great service to this movie. I am also getting tired of the cliche'd white man to the rescue movies. Hemsworth, Hooda and Jaiswal do a great job holding it all together. The Bengali dialogue is down and dirty but authentic I am told. Yeah, if nothing else works on a slow evening.",4 "Tried to watch because, Ryan Reynolds, but couldn't even get through 1hr of this piece of crap.",1 The best I have ever watched...and highly recommend.,10 "I am a girl who loves the Dragon Ball series. I grew up watching the original Dragon Ball and was eager to watch this series blossom, unfortunately it never quite made it for me (also DB GT is not worth even mentioning in the same sentence as these two great shows). While the first Dragon Ball show had a varying plots and an interesting story line, DBZ was more of a lets see how many epic battles we can come up with show. For most guys this makes this show a 10 star show, and I will admit that some episodes were truly amazing, however with some battles going on for hours I found myself sometimes wondering if the battles were ever going to end. Though I do admit I love watching Goku kick some evil butt, I miss the humor and story lines of its predecessor Dragon Ball. I give DBZ 7 1/2 stars. It gets 10 stars for action, but only 6 stars for story line and character development. If you are new to the Dragon Ball series, go back to the beginning and watch Dragon Ball then delve into this fast-paced action series Dragon Ball Z!!! (dont forget to skip DB GT)",7 I won't talk much .. cuz there is no words to describe this .. i'll Just say that Hajime Isayama will go down as one of the greatest writers ever ..,10 "The movie was okay, but what happened to the young couple? Last scene they were in they were humping in the laundry room. Poof! They're gone.",6 "This is a fabulous adaptation, really worth your time. My only criticism would be that Holly from Mr Mercedes and Holly from The Outsider is played by two actresses. I'm not sure who I would have picked for greater continuity, but I suspect it is Cynthia Eviro. She is superb!",8 "I don't understand the hype surrounding any of Nolans Batman movies. Theyve tried to make Batman and his weapons too real and Bale sounds like he constantly needs a cough bottle. As far as the bat mobile goes, enough said really.",6 "This is the first time I am writing a review for a series because the thing which I have watched is nothing sort of brilliance. The mini series has all the entertainment factor which many bollywood big budget films don't have. It has fresh and refreshing concept which will keep you stick to each and every episode. Naveen is the charm of the series. He is very much honest with his character. You will never feel bored while watching him. Yogi is something like Abhay Deol from ZNMD. He too is enjoyable. Jeetu's character has simplicity with sense of humour. Last but not the least Mandal's character is what makes you laugh throughout the entire series. They all have done a marvelous job and have equal share in the success. TVF has done a tremendous job in making this series and letting us know that Indians too have potentials to make sensible a good drama other than the senseless Daily Soaps. Do watch this ""TVF Originals Drama"" on Youtube and share as much as you can. 9/10 or 4.5/5",9 "Did anyone involved in making this movie really believe that this movie is good? This movie is so shallow that it makes a puddle look like an ocean. The idea of mixing a pompously acting Robert De Niro with a hysterically acting Anne Hathaway is an example of how not generate on-screen chemistry. Not that the acting is bad. It's the story. It's one ongoing cliché. It is a combination of dull, boring, and contrived. It's Father Knows Best meets I Love Lucy, except in this case the characters take themselves seriously. This movie manages to take several important social themes and reduce them to pulp, and even worse, reduce the principal characters to clichés. A bored older retiree with nothing but time and a manic young business woman. C'mon! Not exactly the cutting edge of literary originality. And what is worse, they are not funny characters. The supporting cast is funny, but they are not the principal players. Now the story has potential. The movie actually starts strongly. The De Niro character is introduced and his issues clearly presented. Then the movie tanks, and tanks quickly. A promising start leads to a contrived story and muddled finale. This movie reaffirms the old movie maxim - never judge a movie by its coming attractions.",2 This is the best movie ever!!! It leaves us with answered questions we had after the first venom movie and leaves us with wanting more. Don't get me started on the design for carnage!! It's so comic accurate it makes the comic book nerd in me so happy!! Hands down the best part was between the stan lee tribute and the end credit scene. I can not wait to see what marvel and sony will do with venom in the future!!,10 "Great show, impressed by the documentary style element as it was the first show id seen made like that. its quirky its funny, the cast are loveable. Only complaint is the last three to four seasons were nothing compared to the others, all the characters become out of touch, the show has lost surprise element and originality",8 "I only watched 75% of the first episode and I can instinctively tell where it is going. The reason it got a 3 and not a 1 is because of the atmosphere, direction and creative elements. Unfortunately although not initially WOKE, as they say, that is where it is headed which makes it extremely, predictable, unappealing, and you can immediately tell the characters have no depth to them. The predictability element is what truly kills it, just one example: I can already tell that the powerless character will eventually be revealed as the strongest one but her power will be uncontrollable or dangerous. Now remember I only watched one episode (almost). The drama is forced and there is no fragility or impact. It is sad to see these poor scripts being given such a huge budget, when B rated TV shows like ""The Outpost"", which have so much potential, are placed on the back burners. I also believe that many of these 8+ ratings are false, I cannot imagine how anyone, even those not bored with the political messaging, would find such shows enjoyable.",3 "I do think I could do with rewatching this movie as I think the first time I watched this movie I rated it too harshly. To be fair to it this movie is exhilarating. Like this movie is about cars and I was literally on the edge of my seat for half the movie. Performances were great too. Matt Damon was really good although I think that some of his lines were really poorly written and some were outright unnecessary. Christian bale was brilliant. A top tier performance although I personally found his accent really annoying. But that just might be British people. James mangold is definitely and underrated director. 7.8/10.",7 "I know it's a Michael Bay movie but the editing style, which similar to the recent Transformer movies, was giving me a headache. Random cuts make no sense whatsoever, and mess with the storytelling so there's nothing memorable about this movie at the end.",1 "As much as the live-action adaptations from Disney have been controversial as of late, the live-action of The Lion King (despite being all rendered as CGI) is without a doubt, the most pointless and unnecessary live-action remake to date. Nothing about this remake improves anything and it even doesn't take a risk. It's utterly shot-for-shot, which almost draws unfavorable and negative comparisons to the infamous Gus van Sant's 1998 remake of Psycho (a remake of the Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 Psycho), of which The Lion King original and the remake had the same story, with the remake giving no further improvement. The difference of the two, in terms of the technique, is that the original features traditional hand-drawn animation, whereas the remake features photorealistic CGI animation. Another problem that The Lion King remake faces, is with the inability of the CGI lions to convey emotions and its difficult translation of its voice talents within the emotions of the CGI lions, which makes it difficult for audiences to relate to the lion characters' emotions and its expressions, which can turned towards uncanny valley. Another problem within this remake have, comes with the voice acting performances and the results are truly underwhelming, to say the least. Donald Glover and Beyonce are seem to be miscasted as both Simba and Nala, and despite their incredible singing performances and particularly their rendition of ""Can You Feel the Love Tonight"" song, their voice acting comes as the weakest. Chiwetel Ejiofor tries to bring his unique style and menacing qualities as Scar but falls short to the more superior Jeremy Iron's Scar. John Oliver serves as a poor substitute for Rowan Atkinson as Zazu. Worse of all, Alfre Woodard's, John Kani's, Keegan-Michael Key's and Eric Andre's voice performances, were underutilized and wasted. Still, The Lion King remake is not without its redeemable qualities. Even with the problems of the CGI lions in its difficult expression of emotions, much of the CGI qualities of the lions as well as other animals is featured as utterly realistic, which makes it the most mind-blowing CGI creations that the animals are featured into cinema, given the fact that the technology that was used in The Jungle Book was used to the higher degree within this remake, of which that use of the visual effects being displayed in this remake as groundbreaking. Out of all the voice cast, only a few stand-out as the best; with Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen giving out their best chemistry and performances as Timon and Pumbaa, nearly stealing the whole show. Other stand-outs within the movie, were James Earl Jones as Mufasa (a performance that remains endearing and powerful, despite being oddly weary and underutilized), Florence Kasumba as Shenzi, JD McCrary and Shahadi Wright Joseph as both the younger versions of Simba and Nala. In the end, The Lion King remake features no heart, vitality, spirit, magic, mysticism, and power that the original possesses, and is considered as inferior to the 1994 animated original. The Lion King remake is considered as a massive disappointment and will end up age horribly, whereas the 1994 animated original remains as a superior and timeless masterpiece that will remain to stand the test of time, and for generations to come. All the visual effects in the world cannot replace the pure Disney magic that was brought to life by the original entire cast and crew in the 1994 animated masterpiece.",4 "This movie was downright awful and since the first one was so good it's so disappointing. This is what happens when you compare a real movie to a netflix movie it's not even close. The first one was amazing and this was so poorly written, directed and the actors were awful. Not a single relevant actor in the whole movie. Think about it outside of daniel craig have you seen any of them in a remotely good movie in the last 10 years? The first movie had Chris Evans, Ana De Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, and Lakeith Stanfield. This one had A wwe star that makes lame movies for little kids, Hulk from 08, A bad and old R&B singer, Kathryn Hahn a horrible comedian and actor, Leslie Odom Jr would i wouldn't even cast in a movie for free, Madelyn Cline who has the acting talent of a Folding chair, and Kate Hudson and sadly the best thing she was ever in was kung fu panda. Just don't watch it. Movie lost 35 million dollars if you care about that. The first one came out during covid on the same budget and made over 300 MILLION this one made 10 million. PRETTY BIG DIFFERENCE.",1 "Yeah, I don't know what I'm watching anymore. I restarted from the beginning recently. Season one was unique, dark, exciting, sexy. Complex enough story, very good balance between the main characters, smaller story lines and world building. For season three, what remains? And for what? Spending the time with so many one dimensional NPCs and weightless ""politics"", it's just tiring. They couldn't even give any weight to the elfs! We had hours with them at this point, and I couldn't care less what happens with that whole brigade and their queen! We lost nudity, gained shaved up hair. Very 2023. Nothing wrong with that on it's own, but even for me, it doesn't felt natural. Felt like lazy quota filling. I don't want to go into writing, things like out of place lines, because I didn't read the books. Something is not right though. I got bored watching the first half of season three. That's not something I expected from the show.",6 I watched 3/4 of the movie and I have to say it was painful. How this has an 8.8/10 rating is beyond me. The movie made no sense. Is he dreaming? What town are they in. Will he die or is it a dream. Just an awful awful movie.,2 "I'm sure many will disagree with me on this one but this movie was not even close to being as good as everyone's claim. 8.9/10 (score as of 8/7/12) is COMPLETELY inflated in my opinion. I will not say that it's a terrible movie by any means, which is why I still give a 6/10, but on Nolan's standards this movie was bad. Of course this movie has its strengths. Nolan never puts out anything terrible in my opinion, and as with others Dark Knight Rises contained many interesting shots with great visuals, as well as pretty good plot and acting. With Hans doing the sound, it does not lack anything in that department. However, with great cast and acting, there seems to be something missing here. Perhaps some of the choices weren't all that great. I did not like Hathaway's character in the movie. I think she's a great actress but wasn't the right one for the role imo. Moreover, the plot was pretty good, but it appears to be rushed and too concentrated in order to fit everything in. My greatest disappointment, however, was the amount of cheese throughout the movie. I love Nolan's work mainly because his movies never give that vibe of cheesiness. I don't remember ever hearing a cheesy or awkward line in his movies, or raising my hand in confusion because of how ridiculous a scene is. It can be seen that he only puts out the best quality movie he can make, and you can see that countless amount of effort and time went into the making. I'm sure much time was spent on this one as well, but I just sensed too many plot holes and the quality just wasn't there. I remember raising my hands many times throughout the movie going..""OKAY....REALLY?!?""...or, ""where did that come from?!"" Many of the scenes and the elements to the film seemed effortless and careless, although I'm sure this wasn't the case. I love Nolan's works. I still can't believe that he hasn't won an Oscar. My personal fav. movie of the batman franchise is Batman Begins. Dark Knight was also superb but falls just short of Begins. However, despite having great expectations (or maybe this was why it seemed worse), this movie falls short big time. It's long, draggy, and somewhat chaotic. As much as I am a NOlan fan, I just cannot defend him with regards to this movie. I have to say that the harsh critics weren't all that harsh this time.",6 "Show is awesome and fun, but can't help noticing that main character greatly resembles a Russian pop singer, arguably most popular in 70's, Alla Pugacheva, the looks, style and attitude. Just an observation :)",9 What is John Malkovich doing in this implausible and uninspried cliche movie?,4 "Spiderman 2 directed by cult director Sam Raimi(Evil Dead Trilogy) has to be the one of the best comic book adaptations. this movie has it all romance, action and a great story. Spiderman 2 is without a doubt the best in the trilogy. In this movie Peter Parker is losing his powers because of an unknown reason. Peter goes into a clinic and explains to the doctor that he has a dream were he is Spiderman and he is losing his powers. The doctor response is ""maybe your not suppose to be doing those things."" Peter focuses on that and has a flashback were he is talking to uncle Ben. Peter decides to be ""Spiderman, no more."" That story is what made this movie great, and of course the fighting scene in the train with Doc Ock. 4/4",10 "Lots of people have been asking if I've seen 'La La Land', so I thought I had better give it a chance, even though musicals aren't my thing - better late than never, right? I always list the four most prominent actors when I do a review, but I truly struggled to think of anyone else to fill the 3rd & 4th slots, since this film has two stars, and at least one of them is on screen the entire time, with little time dedicated to anything/anyone else. Maybe not a bad thing, but it does mean the film gets a bit monotonous. Sebastian (Gosling) and Mia (Stone) are easy to watch and are good in this, but I don't think either of them is a particularly good singer or dancer. My main problem with musicals is: why? If a scene's not interesting enough to sustain momentum without having song and dance, then cut it! At least in animated films, they seem to find ways to weave songs in organically - and they're catchy. Here, I didn't find any of the songs very catchy or interesting - most are kind of mopey. Otherwise, it's all quite predictable - they fall in love, they chase their dreams, the end. The ending is semi-interesting, but every time I started to get pulled into the film when there's a stretch with no singing, it suddenly appears again - always out of context - and pushes me back out. It's definitely not a bad film, I just felt like nothing really happened - sure, there's some romance and they're good actors, but there's no real story or humour to be found.",5 "Intro: I had never seen The Silence of the Lambs or Hannibal (film) before seeing this show. I did see Red Dragon (2002), however, and it was pretty good. The promo for the show definitely interested me in the show. However, I had no idea what kind of show I was going to get myself into. First Season: The first five episodes follow an almost generic case of the week format, making it entertaining enough, but definitely lacking in making it truly great. However, this all changes by the sixth episode where the series becomes so intense and so riveting that I would give put the season up there right with Dexter's first season. The first season of Dexter almost followed the same format as well and took about the same time to gel, but when it did, it was absolutely mind-blowing. 10/10 Second Season: Now that we are in the second season, the show continues to be extremely creative and risk-taking in its story and gore. There have been three cases of the week over seven episodes (one lasting two, one lasting one, and one lasting 3 and all in the first 5 episodes). However, the difference here is that the cases serve the story rather than being the main focus. It's just completely insane how good this show is and that nobody watches it. I'd never felt so giddy about a show since the last eight episodes of Breaking Bad. And before that maybe Season 4 of Dexter. The remaining episodes of the season were not as smooth as the what preceded it. However, they were still pretty interesting. 1st half of Season 2: 10/10 2nd half of Season 2: 8/10 Why Nobody Watches It: 1) It's the goriest show ever made (yes, more so than Dexter) 2) It's really dark 3) It's a story-driven show which isn't very suiting for a network TV show. Mikkelsen vs. Hopkins: There's no debate here actually. Even though Hopkins won an Oscar for his portrayal of Hannibal Lecter, Mikkelsen redefines the character in such a way that he is far more interesting than Hopkins ever was. A lot of that has to do with the writing team too behind the show as they are improving upon the source material and making their own stories with these characters.",10 How one movie could be so boring and there's literally nothing happening.And that Dumbledore gay thing is the stupidest thing.,1 "I will try my best to keep this review short and sweet, which if I wasn't trying it would go a few pages because of the sheer amount of irritating characteristics of this movie. Never have I watched a movie that was so hyped up, that turned out to be so bad. The cast was jam-packed with big names from Sandra Bullock to Sarah Paulsen, but yet the only memorable performances were by the 2 kids that were only in half of the movie and barely had any lines. The utterly stupid decisions made by many of the characters in this movie was mind numbing, but when these pointlessly stupid decisions got these characters killed, it was nice not actually caring about them because of the lack of character development which made me not care about these characters. Another thing that irritated me was the lack of creative storytelling with the backstory of the outbreak. Just coming out and telling you what's going on seems lazy to me. Above all else though, my biggest problem with this movie was the lack of an intriguing theme. Compared to A Quiet Place, which I feel is a valid comparison, Bird Box is just inferior. AQP had a very interesting and relatable theme (the lengths you will go to protect your family) and the only theme I could grab from Bird Box was that if you aren't blind, you're gonna die.",3 This was not worth as it just promoted unacademy instead of promoting and showing the exact situation of upsc aspirants .Only gud thing was the songs and none other than Sandeep bhaiya.,7 "I had great hopes for this movie, based primarily on high rating (8.5) and the cast. Unfortunately, it turned out to be total junk. Very pretentious and fragmented. I was hoping something was going to happen that would pique my interest, but no, nothing of interest happened. It went from bad to worse. If anybody can make sense out of this movie, then bravo to you. At one point the DVD disk had some fault on it, giving me an opportunity to skip a few minutes of the movie. Normally a disk defect like that would be annoying, but for the first time while watching a movie, I was not too unhappy that it happened. One more comment about Jim Carrey. He should definitely stick to making comedies. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. Enough said!",1 "Its not so good like everyone said, its OK! I see everything but it's not la casa De papel or stranger things, you want see more and more no, I saw because everybody said it's sooooo good but no it's not so good!",5 Overall movie is good though there is a drag in the middle part.,7 "I think that ""Loki"" was badly written and executed, and does not add much to the MCU. We already know about the Multiverse, but Marvel is constantly pushing this concept which was introduced for the first time in ""Doctor Strange"" back in 2016. It started to be old and repetitive. I have to admit that the TVA storyline is interesting but it is watered down in six episodes. The show is slow, there are a lot of empty moments where the story does not progress. Honestly they could have done a movie for Disney +, and it would be way more entertaining and less time consuming for the audience. A potentially good preamble for ""Multiverse of Madness"". There are interesting ideas, such as different Lokis, from different timelines. It was genuinely funny, but I don't like what they have done with the main characters. The God of Mischief, that was always an interesting depiction of hero/villain duality, here seems more like a scared child that does not know how to use his powers. The entire wannabe love story between him and Sylvie could have been completely cut out. Creators wanted to add too much to the plate, instead of keeping things simple and straightforward. Hence, the show, at least for me, is very chaotic and lacks vision. Action sequences are completely censored. There is no blood and no bruises, even though the characters are beating the hell out of each other. I do not understand why Disney made this childish decision, considering that in ""The Falcon and the Winter Soldier"" and in ""Black Widow"" there are some strong and explicit images. Moreover, action sequences are bland and definitely not up to Marvel standards. However, cinematography and special effects are amazing. Owen Wilson basically carried this show alone; the other actors are nowhere close to his level, not even Tom Hiddleston. I mean, the rest of the cast is composed by skillful people, but the gap is very noticeable. If in a series titled after the God of Outcasts, the only character that can grab my undivided attention is Mobius, there were clearly big issues somewhere along the way. If I gave this show four stars out of ten, it is only because of his performance. Once again Marvel and Disney think that throwing tons of money down the pipe for production design, visual effects and marketing is good enough to make an entertaining show. If you do not focus on an interesting plot and if you keep pushing for forced comedy, you'll end up with a pretty average product that cannot stand out. If the first season of this show is already so weak, I am really worried about the second one.",4 "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery streaming on Netflix #sanjuzzreviews #GlassOnionAKnivesOutMystery #EnolaHolmes2 #7womenandamurder #netflixindia #Netflix This is the 2nd installment of the Knives Out franchise starring Daniel Craig, Kate Hudson Ed Norton among others. Eccentric Tech billionaire Miles Bron invites his friends for a getaway on his private Greek island. When one of them turns up dead, Detective Benoit Blanc is put on the case. Will be be able to catch the killer? Watch the first installment of Knives out if you haven't. Has no connection to this one though. To be honest I loved the first part better.",7 Series started off great. As episodes went on I liked it less and less. White Christmas was amazing. Start there. When you watch expecting a twist its hard to be surprised. Not something you can rewatch since the reveal is the best part.,5 "But then again they think every Marvel movie is a masterpiece. It's really not that good. Quite boring actually but we can't have any of that. Why tell the truth about the movie when fanboys are hyping the hype? Surely the hype can't be wrong. Ugh, the first SpiderMan was wayyy better. This one just didn't do it for me. Marvel is hit or huge miss and this was definitely a huge miss. Wait for it to come out on streaming. You'll be glad you saved your money.",3 "I'm not gonna pretend that the first bit of the movie didn't make me think of Marklar - the fictional planet that is inhabited by Marklars, who refer to all people, places and things and Marklar. I swear that the energy of Barbie just saying ""Hi Barbie"" or ""Hi Ken"" and specific Barbies or Kens reacting back was pretty much the same. Also, the whole plotline kind of reminded me of Wreck-It Ralph (2012), as the idea that a fictional character must leave his digital/fantasy home has some similar connotations in the storytelling. I can say that I had some fun during the movie. I'm not a big fan of comedies but there were genuine moments where I did have a laugh. At the same time, there were a lot of moments where the nature of the comedy just didn't resonate with me well. To be completely honest, if I had done some research prior to watching this movie and had noticed that Will Ferrell was part of the cast, I probably wouldn't even think about watching the movie (long story short - I just cannot stand his style of comedy) but thankfully, on Barbie he wasn't a major character and his presence wasn't half bad. Now to address the elephant in the room - as a white male, I've never felt comfortable talking about patriarchy, feminism, genderism, etc. I just feel that, as a man, I'm not in a position to understand the struggles of a woman. I can say I can relate to their problems, but I can't step into their shoes to actually feel them. So, during political media courses when we covered gender studies, sexually and similar topics or when we went through the literature of Judith Butler and similar authors, I was just lost and felt completely incompetent. I still feel lost to some extent. Even though this movie was highly satirical, I still felt uncomfortable that various stereotypes, both of male and female quirks, were presented as signs of weaknesses. Both masculinine and feminine traits (which I'd argue don't ""exist"" outside of discourse) create such an atmosphere where neither men or women can live together without one of them submitting to the other. It was more saddening than funny to see it playout. Both the patriarchy taking control and the women taking the power back segments just felt uncomfortable and even the music tracks didn't make it better for me. I mostly went to see the movie out of curiosity as I had hints of there being political underlines and corporative positioning (as in how ideas are sold instead of products, creating a fake sensation of wants and even needs) ideas in a movie that covers the pink Barbie world where life is fantastic. Unfortunately, I felt disappointed in that regard, but the happy vibes did get to me, especially in the first half of the movie, so I can't say my experience with the movie was that bad.",5 A realistic visually brilliant movie...SRK one of finest acting skills and A.R. Rahman beautiful music makes it cinematic treat,10 "I found this movie somewhat entertaining, but the ending fell flat for me. I loved the beginning and was waiting to see what there was to ""see"", but I feel it needed a more climactic twist at the end.",5 "What an awful ending, this film had serious pontential but became very unbeliveable by the end. The only thing I liked was that the whole thing was on a computer screen.",2 "One of my 'must see' shows, and there are VERY few of them. Modern day Sherlock and his faithful companion. Brilliant story lines. Brilliant Acting. Pretty much everything brilliant. First 2 series were particularly brilliant, with Moriarty bringing weird, camp, malevolence to the scene. The third series, while equally great on the acting and story sides, let itself down ever so slightly, by the over use of gimmicky editing. I hope the upcoming 4th series leaves that aside and continues with the simply brilliance that is Sherlock. Cannot recommend highly enough for fans of Sherlock Holmes, mysteries and great television in general.",9 "Quite a disappointment coming from this group of veteran Potter world professionals. All of the Potter books and movies with perhaps the exception of HP7 pt 1, had a great element of fun to them. This movie had none. It took a great deal for granted in that one movie had made us grow attached to these characters, when in fact HP movies gave us several stories to grow with. Even the creatures weren't that magical. One of the biggest disappointments was Jude Law as Dumbledore. He brought no personality to the character whatsoever. Literally Dumbledore in name only. Johnny Depp had a great deal of fun playing Grindlewald, but there were no onscreen characters for him to play against, so it just ended up being one big monologue. HP had the Voldemort story build slowly over 8 films. I thought when the expanded this trilogy to 5, we would get the same, but the whole point of this movie seems to be to set up future stories. The only real point is to get individuals to line up on one side or the other, and literally once that is done, the movie ends. This was a mistake, and JKK will lose fans if they pull this crap again,",5 "The series is all right, Geralt and Ciri are portrayed very well. And in general Geralts fights with the monsters are fantastic. However the directing is really hit and miss and incredibly broad at times, like the ballroom scene in ep3. The lighting and set design range from good to horrible, some scenes looking like shot in a theme park, exaggerated by sometimes atrocious lighting (again check the ballroom scene in episode 3). It doesn't manage to completely screw up the great source material, but there is much more potential.",6 Season 1 is the best. Season 2 keeps you engaged too. Season 3 lags far behind the first two. Let's just hope that they don't make 4 boring.,9 "Australian horror ""Talk to me"" could have been the same old thing with possession and spooky ghosts only the main characters can see. But its proper gruesome enough to keep old school fans happy, and manages to feel modern without being cringey and avoiding lame jump scares. There's a spooky hand doing the rounds at teenage parties. One that people hold to see ghosts before allowing the spooks to briefly possess them. Off course this is all going to go wrong. But it can be a brutal shocker so you'll not be disappointed in the direction it does go. Much like the latest ""evil dead"" its truly horrific, but also has the occasional awkward laugh. But this one also knows not to stick around for too long. As there's only so much horror the audience can take.",8 "I never liked animes because of the stupid Japanese films which are all over the place. But once I was at my granma's house with my sister and we were watching TV and I turned to Nick and there was Avatar. My sister said that it was a decent show so we watched that one series. And I really liked it I can't say I imidietly fell in love but I really liked the characters and I laughed a lot. So I watched it and soon even though liked it I forgot about it. But than I again not meaning to turned it on and there it was - another series and I liked it more than the first one. Since than I started watching it on TV and after a while decided to watch it in English so I download it and with original acting I just really fell in love. So there are four nations so to say. Four nation which have the ability to will four elements. Water, earth, air and fire. And the nation of fire decided to start a war to claim all the lands. In this world the role of an Avatar is to keep balance but Avatar disapiers just before the war starts. And after 100 year of brutal war a new Avatar is found by out heroes Katara and Sokka and there you go. First let's start with the world of The legend of Aang. It's incredible. The civilization is like of 14th century. It's just huge. We end up being in such amazing places. The plot is really clever and balanced. They won't tell you everything at first. Like you would find out what happened to the previous Avatar like in the 2nd season. At first you don't even understand how the magic work. I mean do all people have it, od special people have it? But eventually they tell you everything you want to know. Sometimes story is very lit sometimes it gets dark. The characters. They are just so clever made. My favorite would be... no I love them all. The show is very funny. I mean you'll laugh your ass off. But in the pre-last series there was a moment where I jumped from my seat in horror. The animation is beautiful. RIP Simpsons. I'm just kidding I live them as well. So overall I can say that it's the best show there is at list for me. It gained a special place in my heart where it always be.",10 "The movie's good and has a good message, of course. But it's just one short story and you've to spend 90 minutes of your life to watch it. Go on, watch it. But tell somebody to turn your device off when you will sleep watching it.",5 "What's so amazing about this? It's just an average show with average drama, average action, average thriller! The only good episode was the Finale!",2 "(RATING: ☆☆☆½ out of 5) THIS FILM IS RECOMMENDED. IN BRIEF: Not really magical, but there's enough spirit and fun in this fantasy adventure. GRADE: B- SYNOPSIS: A prequel to the Harry Potter franchise that offers a new wizard to believe in. JIM'S REVIEW: Brevity and simplicity have never been J. K. Rowling's strength. The more complex her plot is, the better she feels. A prolific and creative writer, she creates interesting stories and evokes involving characters in her works. That remains a constant factor in her latest venture, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, although the final results seems like a work-in-progress rather than a finished product. Well, there are plenty of creatures afoot, and far many plot strands and characters that take their time to take shape. (Apparently, this is the first of a five set franchise, a prequel of sorts to the Harry Potter series. Perhaps this might explain some minor characters like Jon Voight's ambitious politician or the Barebone children having rather minor roles in this outing, as they really do nothing to advance the plot.) The story (stories) goes like this: Plot 1 (the main one): Armed with his suitcase of magical creatures, Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) visits 1920's New York City, only to lose some along the way. He befriends Jacob Kowalski, a No-Maj (as in non-magical human), who helps him to capture these animal escapees. Plot 2: A evil wizard named Gellert Grindelwald has also escaped and is a wanted fugitive. Plot 3: Mary Lou Barebone has a mission to warn others of these evil wizards among us. She is the zealous type, one that would make Carrie's mother envious. She also raises some spooky children, including an adoptive son named Credence. Plot 4: Two mystical sisters, Tina Goldstein and his mind-reading sibling, Queenie, become comrades to Newt and Jacob and also serve as their love interests. Plot 5: Percival Graves, a ruthless wizard is searching for a black destructive force called an Obscurus that is causing mayhem to the metropolis. That's a lot to take in...and the film succeeds as the film progresses, although getting there is a journey in itself. The first half of the film is a bit of a muddle, or Muggle as in No-Mag (as in no cinematic magic). Ms. Rowling lays the foundation of things to come, but the dialog is more serviceable than compelling. Characters speak in large patches of heavy exposition and plotting to further explain the overloaded narrative, without much real excitement or conviction. There are far too many chase sequences to show off the CGI in order to catch various fabulous escaped creatures which actually hinders the main story. (The film's leisurely pace relies too much on cutesy adventures to disguise its darker underbelly. It is not until we enter a speakeasy setting, about an hour into the movie, that the film shows some cleverness and wit. Only then did it start to reel in this moviegoer.) Production values are strong. David Yates' direction is solid, if somewhat conventional. He and a screenplay, credited to a lady named Rowling, let the action dissipate by having several subplots which interfere with the efficiency of the storytelling and some chase scenes that go on too long. But the director does cast his film very well. In fact, the minor characters upstage the central characters (and the CGI as well). While Mr. Redmayne's interpretation of Newt may seem underwhelming and demure for his own good, he is nevertheless entertaining. So is Katherine Waterson as his partner. Yet their characters come off as slightly wan, especially compared to the more showier roles around them. Colin Farrell helps immensely as Newt's foe and Ezra Miller brings the sadness and vulnerability to his role. There is also fine support by Samantha Morton and Ron Perlman. But the real magic to the film is the lovely chemistry between Dan Fogler and Alison Sudol as the mismatched sweethearts. They simply steal the film with their subtle and nuanced performances. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a nice romp. This fantasy is not fantastic entertainment, nor, for that matter, is it beastly, but you know where to find them...in Ms. Rowling's fertile imagination...with Part Two soon to be on a movie screen near you, in a year or two.",7 "This is the most underrated show on netflix . If you are a lover of superhero shows then this is a delicious dish to you . Vfx and bgm is top at the top and then comes the acting and story , in s 2 the story is full of twists and turns even more than the s 1 . Actually the s 2 is far better than the s 1 but you will enjoy both the seasons . Then why more waiting check out this lovely freaking show .",9 "Story about how Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) came into being. It has her leaving the island where she was born and raised to enter the world of men and help battle World War 1. She also meets Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) and falls in love. This has been praised to the high heavens for some reason. It's an OK super hero movie but nothing special. It takes forever to get going (it's almost 90 minutes in before we see Wonder Woman in costume) and it is slow and quite frankly boring. It's also too serious and grim. Why do all DC super hero movies have to be so dark? Also Chris Pine is seriously miscast. On the plus side the action sequences are great. Full of energy and PG rated violence. Nice use of stop motion also. Gadot is great as Wonder Woman. She's strong, fearless and full of energy. Also nice production design and a bombastic music score. I marginally recommend it but it's nothing special.",5 "Watched 2 Movies on 9 March 22 The Batman & Jhund but, Jhund is Masterpiece !

This movie belongs for dark comedy it's content is very fresh and all actors played their role very well and special mention for Pankaj tripati and Rajkumar rao.,10 "Black Mirror was once known for projecting a grim future, 10 minutes away from where we are. We didn't watch it to be amused nor excited, we watched it with the intent of being bummed out. We expected to welcome the credits with an awesome feeling of self loathe. This was the point. Black Mirror is the reflection of yourself in your phone screen when the screen is turned off. A dark reflection of who you are. The intention is to show a dark depiction of ourselves through technology. Exactly what a Black Mirror is. Throughout its time on Channel4 it was allowed to explore this, thus generating a huge following of people like myself who demand depth, intrigue and not your typical fairytale stories made to meet a wide audience to generate ££. It was so ridiculously thought provoking I would go as far as to say it was one of the greatest TV programmes to come out of the UK! Which leads me to the problem.. it came out of the UK. I was slightly nervous when I discovered it was moving to Netflix. Anxious as I knew the Americans were going to have a huge hand in the subject matter and storylines, yet marginally comfortable in knowing Netflix (like Channel4) has a reputation for taking risks on out of the box stories. The reason I was anxious about the Americans is not some deep shred of racism. It is simply that there is a huge difference between how British and American audiences receive TV programmes. This is common fact when it comes to comedy, but it is also apparent in emotion inducing drama too. If you study popular American TV versus popular UK TV you can easily see that British audiences are more comfortable with 'out of the ordinary', uncomfortable and especially dark subject matter. We don't mind hating ourselves, in fact we quite like it and are pretty good at it! Series 3 turned out to be pretty damn good actually. San Junipero in particular is my favourite episode of the whole programme! The programme was allowed to retain that awful feeling of dread, the familiarity, the dark techno-aware subjects that depicted who we could be, who we would be and who we are now! There did seem to be a little more of a Hollywood type of feel to the whole thing, yet that didn't matter too much as long as the stories could run their course! However. Since then there has been a huge decline in what we come to expect of the show we know and love. USS Callister was, for me a small shining light (or rather a welcome opposite to that entirely), but still didn't give me that sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach. The episodes began to get milder and milder, taming down to suit a wider audience who would be at greater risk of running away If you were to show them an early episode. Yes there was tragedy, yes some of the storylines were dark. But its where the darkness comes from that matters! We didn't want obviously fictional narratives, we wanted ones that seemed real! That could be here and now and not too far away. We didn't want the big dramatic moments, the killer shots or the epic finale, we want mellow darkness and discomfort. Finally we reach series 5. A series that has completely and utterly disappointed me on all levels. Well, not all. They are entertaining, but definitely not in Black Mirror fashion. Where are the twists, the thought provoking, self hating moments. The situations which present to you a perfectly twisted, yet astonishingly accurate version of the world we live in? If you were to grab someone who was disinterested in Black Mirror's subject matter, and ignorant of its relevance and show them just a couple of episodes from the first series, but let them just mildly watch it without truly getting it.. then ask them to describe it to you: what you would have is Series 5.... A few entertaining yet dark stories with a bit of technology thrown in. Yes we know that the app they use in episode two is metaphorical of our current social media platforms and how we are all addicted. You are not incredibly smart for figuring that out because it's so blindingly obvious and in your face. Black Mirror has been showing us that same metaphor in so many episodes, but it's been so good because it has been a genuinely clever metaphor and has been presented perfectly! I genuinely feel as though the smartness of the programme has been lost. That it has now become a parody of itself and is simply a few slightly tragic (but not too tragic) stories with some technology in them. It doesn't take a great deal of intellect or understanding to grasp the concepts. Themes are also being rehashed into more diluted versions that are easier to palette for everyone! This might sound extremely harsh and make me sound like an awful person, but I see from my social media, so many more people talking about how amazing it now is. These people are the type that find films such as White Chicks funny and who's favourite film is Titanic. They talk about how clever the programme is after watching the latest series and that it's got so much more better as they didn't understand the first few series. I find myself internally screaming at them ""NO YOU DON'T DESERVE TO APPRECIATE THIS PROGRAMME"" the message is lost on so many! I still have faith, which is why I've given a 9. The first 3 series get 10 from me, the 5th gets a 2.",9 "Yet another Apatow productions that makes you laugh and have a great time at the movies (which hasn't happened too often in the past few years). The chemistry between the main characters is amazing, the crude jokes and extraordinarily awkward moments make this movie an instant comedy classic. It sucks you in and keeps you there the entire time. Its funny, involving, has interesting main characters, Hawaii and a great satisfying ending. All the conversations feel real and intriguing, not overdone and unbelievable. You really feel sorry for the Peter and you share his emotions through this entire ordeal. This is a must see for anyone who liked 40 year old virgin or Superbad or anyone over 18 really. It's a story we all can relate to in one way or another. 9 out of 10",9 "Then what am I doing !? I am here – hero says it to all – the Love counselor ! A man ? – how can men ever be a love counselor – those who are more famous for creating ruckus and general unrest in the nation – egoistic and selfish…anyways not their fault – its what his mother went through during - pre, while and post pregnancy – sons just represent the bitterness of their respective mothers…and fathers. If parents are bitter, fighting & contradictory in nature – children more or less become like them…very few change for better or for worst due to circumstances, peer pressure or some accident – like Khalil Gibran had a – strong willed , not giving up easily mother (Kamilla) but a fraud, cheat father who was jailed (framed falsely or otherwise I do not know) – but she went on and on and on – son saw it all , felt it all, imbibed it all – imbibed a lot from Mother nature – and became a precious Pearl ! Anyways scenes from Hindi film something taken – Jhalli(uncouth) girl (daughter of Army officer Kabir Bedi) very tom boyish as father always wanted a son so the daughter tried to please father by becoming and behaving like a boy ..but when she grows up, she falls in love with an uncouth boy(long hair, flunky life style) – now what? Army officer , Major. Hero acts like a college boy who was deputed to protect Kabir Bedi's daughter as she was to become an ""endangered species"" – some terrorists had threatened him that they will get his daughter. In the meanwhile it is shown that Kabir Bedi , being an Army Oficer is so busy with looking after the nation that he has no time for family and there is a major communication gap between father and daughter ! God knows how they get such ideas about Life of Army families !! Hang on – there is yet another locha case in here – the flunky fella , the uncouth army officer's daughter is in love with is the step brother of Major Shah Rukh !! for 20 years, mother and flunky son were lamenting father's absence from their life – whereas father was living happily ever after with shah rukh's mother and son shah rukh – he had died actually and son shah rukh had come to celebrate the last rites with step mother and son – actually I have missed the first scene – saw it from the scene where he is seen singing and dancing with young college boys and girls –who are you waiting for ? - song. hero asks heroine to make the uncouth girl as feminine and oomph filled and as coquettish as she is . She agrees – and the uncouth girls straightens her hair , wears a Indian attire – hang on – a ladies shirt with thread knots showing the waxed back ! uncouth boy sees it and falls in love with immediate effect. In the mean time uncouth guy's mother's birthday arrives and so shah rukh suggests that he should cut his hair…mother drops the ""puja ki plate "" (this is where I went mad – no one drops plate after worshipping Me …just joking ) and mother and son are both very happy. In comes a physics professor – a male with a pony tail !..who is actually the terrorist – but knew wave motion, light rays, vernier calipers, vector and scalar scale measurement…etc which a physics professor teaches – amazing things this education has taught us I tell you! Look at me for example ! how am I utilizing my education have you ever wondered dear readers ? by being an Alkaline Critic ..unlike the acid critics who you see often! - Then there is a prom festival where they sing ""white-6 boys-6…"" a song where men are requesting women to be a one-man woman !how times have changed ! good. In this song, Ms. Universe, Susmita sen, is wearing a red chiffon drape and the pallu is taken in a very advantageous way.. from the men's point of view – see the movie yourself and enjoy.",2 "A highly content driven true masterpiece! Totally class apart, loved the intent of the movie. Unfortunately hardly this movie got noticed by any. My ratings 9/10!",9 A mixed feeling of a film - at times it was good but others it dragged - but I don't get that feeling of caring for the characters - maybe I need another viewing......,7 "Jennifer Lawrence is a Bolshoi ballet dancer who has a bad accident and must take an unpleasant role with the Russian Secret Service to keep paying for her sick mother's care. After some very odd training in the art of seducing the enemy she is sent on a mission involving CIA agent Edgerton. Thereafter it gets quite complicated. Good to see another 'cold war' thriller (there just aren't enough) and with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. Lawrence is convincing as the Russian 'Sparrow' in very much a star vehicle for her - she's rarely off the screen, which in some ways diverts away too much from an interesting supporting cast (Rampling, Hinds etc). It feels a bit too long, although initially rushes through the opening / training scenes so it can get on with the core plot. So quite a good thriller, nicely complicated, often unpleasant and with a satisfying conclusion. One real gripe, every time Lawrence gets beaten up, she applies this magic make up which removes all bruises and cuts in a second so she can continue to look stunning in the next scene - silly.",6 It's a different type of horror..drama and thriller I really enjoyed watching it..it will just let your blood run cold,6 "In the late 60's, a couple of teenagers is brutally murdered by a killer while dating nearby a lake in California. This is the beginning of a series of murders, with the criminal sending letters to the newspapers with riddles and promising more murders while the police force and journalists investigate the crimes trying to find suspects. I have recently seen Alexander Bulkley's ""The Zodiac"", which is based on the true events of the serial-killer Zodiac, and I found it a reasonable movie. Today I have just watched most of the 158 minutes running time version of David Fincher with my wife and when I did not sleep, I found it painfully long and boring (my wife agree with my opinion and she slept less than me). It is amazing that this overrated movie needs 158 minutes running time to tell the same story that ""The Zodiac"" tells in 97 minutes. If the viewer has insomnia problem, try to see this film instead of using sleeping pills because it will be more effective. My vote is four. Title (Brazil): ""Zodíaco"" (""Zodiac"")",4 "Cops being betrayed as bungling racists? Check. Priest being guilty of child molestation by association? Check A U.S. soldier being guilty of a terrible war crime? Check Someone arrested for a small amount of pot? Check Mention of society not believing rape victims? Check The only virtuous characters in the whole movie are minorities? Check Woody Harrelson's character is the only reason I'm rating this movie two stars. His character is the only one that isn't a two dimensional representation of what Hollywood thinks people in America are. I'm fairly certain the entire plot was designed to stroke the ego's of 40 year old liberal women. When I'm watching a movie I don't want to be slapped in the face with your manifesto. Don't get me wrong you can make political commentary. There's a difference between political commentary and trying to jam a social remark into every orifice you can find.",2 "Plot makes no sense.. so many plot holes and blindfolds.. Rubbish",1 Rated higher then Once upon a time? really? Maybe I missed something.,5 "I expected it to be bad although not quite this bad. The problem with sequels in the horror genre is that once you've seen the boogeyman in the first movie repeat appearances by him grow less and less scary because there is o element of surprise or suspense. Is that something moving in the dark? Don't worry, it's only that doll again. In other words we're familiar with the creature and what does familiarity breed? Contempt. And boredom too. This again? Seen that already, you can't scare me with that again. So, intrinsically less scary then to start with. But with clever writing and directing that can be overcome and several horror sequels have very successfully overcome and scared the pants off us a second or third time. So could Annabelle achieve this? The director, whose previous helms are not impressive, didn't inspire much confidence but I gave the film a chance. Then came the first scenes with Annabelle. OK, little girl whips off the sheet. It's the doll and she has her usual look and that works well. So far so good. Little girl gets spooked and closes the door before walking away. The camera kept the door behind her in shot and I thought no, surely they're not going for that old chestnut. If the film had any chance of being a good movie that door must not open. It opened. One strike against the film. Little girl goes back, closes the door and locks it. I groaned. Surely this director isn't going to have the door open again? Oh but he is. I could't believe how tired and predictable this scene was. Little girl grabs the sheet and I shouted at the screen as if the director could hear me. ""You dumbass, you're gonna have the kid cover Annabelle up and then when she walks away the doll is going to rise up slowly and follow her. How could you be so damned unoriginal? It was genuinely scary once. Almost a century ago when they did it in the silents. I'm through with you, you are a terrible terrible director."" I don't know how I did it but I actually sat through the rest of the film. Things did not get better. The last director just wounded Annabelle, this guy killed her and threw her in the trash. I don't think she'll be back. Three out of ten for managing to point the camera in the right direction.",3 It tries hard to copy from a variety of shows and fails miserably nonetheless in script. Special effects are not that special and very loose and hardly appealing narrative.,1 Season 1 is interesting and very well made. I wish I had stopped there to say the least.,9 "Somehow, this unabashedly manipulative film has become a runaway financial success, and I have to say I don't get it. All of the characters are nothing more than quick sketches that are never fleshed out, right down to the main romantic couple. Heck, even the characters from the blandest dime-a-dozen big-budget action film you can think of have more dimension and personality than the ones paraded across the screen here. Make no mistake: This movie's screenwriters didn't set out to write a story about Hazel and Gus. No, they set out to write an Emotional movie with a capital ""E."" I have nothing against those movies; as a matter of fact, I absolutely eat them up. But the thing is, in order to be effective, you need characters that people care about and identify with, not cardboard cutouts with about as much depth as a single sheet of paper.",3 "Please do not waste time watching this movie. It is, without a doubt, one of the worst films I have ever had the misfortune of watching. From start to finish, it was an agonizing experience filled with cringe-worthy moments and a complete lack of entertainment value. The film's plot was convoluted and poorly executed, making it incredibly difficult to follow along. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any depth or development, leaving me uninvested and uninterested in their fates. I found myself constantly checking my watch, hoping that the movie would end soon and put me out of my misery. Furthermore, the dialogue was painfully forced and unnatural. It felt like the writers were trying too hard to be witty and clever, but instead, it came across as forced and awkward. The attempts at humor fell flat, and the dramatic moments felt contrived and predictable. Visually, the film was lackluster as well. The cinematography was uninspired, and the special effects were subpar, failing to impress or add any visual appeal to the overall experience. The pacing was incredibly slow, making even the shortest scenes feel like they dragged on for an eternity. It's a shame that such a promising concept was squandered in this film. The potential for an engaging and thought-provoking story was completely wasted, leaving me feeling frustrated and disappointed. I can't stress enough how much of a challenge it was to sit through this movie until the end. In conclusion, I strongly advise against wasting your time on this film. It is a prime example of how not to make a movie. From the unengaging plot to the cringe-worthy dialogue and lackluster visuals, there is little redeeming about this cinematic disaster. Save yourself the agony and seek out something more deserving of your time and attention.",2 "The lives of Vito Corleone and his son are told here with brio. The family has to face different kind of problems with traitors and justice. The reaction of the family is a fair to the reputation of of mafia gangs. It's very difficult to distinguish Robert de Niro from Al Pacino, so don't get lost with the different times and scenes ! A very good movie.",10 "So many salty people reviewed this movie. Notice how the low scores all come from the same area of the world, (cough cough india.) This movie had great action and a simple plot, I enjoyed Hemsworths performance and the action scenes alone were worth the watch.",7 "Weird, awkward and full of funny moments and cameos and a surprising turn if events!!!! The low score probably means it will be hit or miss for folks. The score was harmoniously in sync with the tone and spirit of the movie. So much is packed into this movie. Intrigue, comedy, action, period peace, war, music, art. The cameos alone are enough ti watch the movie. Now, that's if you have not watched the commercials and trailers. In my opinion, Christian Bale's best performance: sooo nuanced and physicially forward! Margo Robie, haven't a huge fan if her acting, but she also did a great job on this one.",10 "I had high hope of this movie and it delivered in all posible aspects. This movie almost feels like it was made in Europe by a real director and not in Hollywood. The actors are amazing. Margot and Bale stole the show. Really hope Bale gets recognized for his performance. He is an actor that always challenges himself. The story, the cinomatography and music, everything is balanced and wel placed. Even actors like De Niro who usually take on the spot light felt genuine. Regarding the bad review. I feel that the general audience entranced by the opiate effect of the ""marvel"" cinema has forgotten how a real story looks and feels like. Makes me sad for the future.",10 "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) The certainly most famous detective of all times returns in an action packed adventure of lies and treachery. Holmes and his side kick Watson are trying to assemble bits and pieces of a puzzle to find out the identity of the person who is behind terrorist attacks, that took place in Europe, and foil his evil plans. After watching over half an hour, trying to find out where all this was going, I found myself closing my eyes (unwillingly) for a couple of minutes, because of boredom, simply bad slapstick comedy and more then horrendous storytelling. The Screenplay is predictable, yet ununderstandable, trying to hard on creating a suspenseful script a la Robert Ludlum. Nevertheless, after an hour we get to know where the screenwriter wants to take us, but the beginning is just messy. The Direction and the photography (technically speaking) have pros and contras - I appreciated a lot the use of tripods and other technical devices like travelling or steady cam to get some clean still shots at the actors and make the action more comprehensible. Specially nowadays, that most Hollywood action movies are shot with shaky cam. Simply embarrassing. - Less appreciated, was the fact of non innovative narrating, everything is as we expect it to be. The fighting sequences are rather slow, using multiple slow motions, way over used and sometimes repeating the same action too often which kills the surprise effect The editing is likable in most non violent sequences. During the fights, it is flashy and unbearable at most. Already seen jump cuts in the time motion makes the action anything else then fluid. The rhythm of the whole narration is rather deceiving, boring and maybe too distracting sometimes. The actors did quite well. But I wouldn't throw flowers on the stage either. I am not wise in special effects but they are mostly well done and I must admit that I was quite impressed in the forest bombing sequence. The Time Motion jump cut was rather pleasant, I would even say needed if not, actually impressive in that sequence. Anyway, Guy Ritchie has proved to me once more, that he is a very talented director who lost it all after Snatch. Not even with a Blockbuster, bearing the name of one of the most respected Man on earth ever, was he capable of returning to his magnificence of filmmaking. For me, Guy is a one hit wonder and will always be. 4 out of 10 for an unmemorable movie, but a plus for one impressive sequence.",4 "The Harry Potter universe is one of the most lucrative and striking cinematic phenomena ever and has faithful admirers. Personally, I am one of many teens who read all the books and saw all the films but I was very disappointed with ""Fantastic Beasts"". However, I decided to watch this film and see if there would be any improvement here. And I'm glad I did. Far from being wonderful, its much better than its predecessor. After the events of the first film, Newt Scamander is sent by Dumbledore to Paris in order to look for Credence, who survived. Also alive and gone missing is the fearsome Gellert Grindelwald, responsible for many deaths and atrocities, committed to starting a war for global dominance in which sorcerers are to dominate non-sorcerers. Its a generally better film than its predecessor, as it has a lighter pace and takes much less time to develop. The story told seems to have gained a logical thread and that's a good thing. The use and appearance of magical creatures was not as intense as in the first film, and this may have helped to focus the film on the story which, until now, was too weak and uninteresting. However, too much creativity is also a problem as some ideas in the plot end up useless. The development of the characters improved and the material given to the actors was certainly better. David Yates did a good job and takes advantage of all his experience, as he directed the most adult and developed films in the Harry Potter franchise. The cast, certainly due to a better script and material to work on, achieved better results. Despite all this, it continues to make unforgivable mistakes. Some sub-plots, sequences and even characters, like Flamel for example, are totally unnecessary. Eddie Redmayne finally manages to give Scamander a certain attitude and leadership, although he is still uncharismatic and boring. Katherine Waterston also improves here. Callum Turner is good, Zoë Kravitz was a good addition to the role of the psychologically complex Leta Lestrange and Jude Law shone as the intelligent and young Dumbledore. Less positive was Dan Fogler, who is no longer as funny as in the first film. If this ends up being compensated by gaining dramatic depth, the film gives a terrible excuse to justify his presence, given that the character had been ""obliviated"", that is, had his memories erased at the end of the first film. On the negative side, I would highlight the poor performance of Alison Sudol. It was not her fault but the fact is that her sweet and stupid character stopped being sweet and became just stupid. Finally, we need to talk more about Johnny Depp. If the cameo in the first film achieved to hide what his participation was going to be, this film shows us the greatness of the actor in the role of another fearsome villain, who is not far behind Voldemort in malice and cruelty. The actor is good and brought his character to life in a brilliant way. If everything goes well for Depp in the films that follow, this could become one of the most outstanding characters in his career, who has left us great jobs before. Technically, this is a very visual film, thanks to tons of very high quality CGI, as we would expect in the Harry Potter universe. Cinematography has good colors, a good use of light and dark and clear footage. To add aesthetic quality we have the charm of the Thirties, with its props and clothings. Much of the film is set between London and Paris, with a brief and unnecessary passage through Hogwarts, and the sets, in all these moments, were meticulously done. The soundtrack, by James Newton Howard, is good and epic, but not surprising.",7 "Not played the games. Decent first season, nothing exceptional. Can't understand why it is as well regarded as it is. It's well made but the pacing is terrible with some episodes having nothing of real note happen. Some episodes longer than others and having a 42 minute finale made no sense to me, could have stretched that out longer surely. At no point did it feel particularly gripping outwith perhaps the first episode. Somewhat controversially I thought episode 3 was arguably the best episode outwith the first one. Feel generous rating a 7, will watch next season but not particularly looking forward to it.",7 "This show was hard to get into for me, but midway I realised that it was AMAZING! Charlie Cox's Performance was phenomenal and his origin was well crafted! The Finale came together perfectly! Next up Jessica Jones Season 1.",9 "I had such high hopes for this show. GoT set the bar ridiculously high of course, but this is just a complete let down. There is absolutely no chemistry between characters, no real story, and the time jumps are just weird. In the entire time frame they went through till episode 6, this was the most interesting to tell? I also feel some woke checkboxes had to be met, as is with almost everything released now. In GoT every character had a real story, depth and you actually felt something. Everything came together beautifully. In HotD I feel like I'm still waiting for the show to start at episode 6, which probably isn't happening.",1 "Moon Knight has been boring to me since the early episodes. But since it's an MCU series, at least I expect another MCU character to be a surprise. But in the end, this really disappointed me.",3 "Like many films I want to watch, I do read reviews here and positives ones plus the average score made me think it is a good one. Well, it was not! I can not say it is totally awful but it is pretty much close to it. Besides the fact that nothing happens and that I was waiting whole time something to happen - nothing is the right word to describe this film. I do not like Sandra very much but in comedies she is totally fine. But add her to a boring film... the result is zero interest for me. I guess some beautiful scenes of the universe is what saved this one not to get one from me. You lose nothing if you skip it.",2 "You never, ever take off your blindfold. If you look, you will die. Do you understand? Each year ends with a bang. You'll have the end-of-year festivities and people party themselves into the new year. But when it's about movies, this one created an end-of-a-filmyear-bang. Frankly, I didn't expect too much of it. But maybe my prejudice about Sandra Bullock has something to do with that. I readily admit that I'm not really a fan of this actress. Is it her way of talking? Or her facial expression? No idea. But I have already avoided a lot of films just because of her being in it. But for her acting performance in ""Bird Box"", she deserves a standing ovation. Brilliant how Sandra Bullock plays her character, Malorie. A free-spirited woman who's on her way to becoming a single mum. All indications point to her being a cynic who prefers not to have too emotional bonds with others. Even the way she talks about her unborn baby shows how aloof she is. Even the two children, with whom she makes the dangerous boat trip, are still called by the names ""boy"" and ""girl"" after 5 years. Is it pure selfishness? Or self-preservation? Or fear of commitment? Probably. But as the film progresses, you'll also notice that she has other character traits that make her more human. She stands her ground, shows understanding, defends others and shows how vulnerable she is herself. So thumbs up for Bullock, even though she looks more and more like Michael Jackson. But it's not just the acting of Sandra Bullock why this film entered my list ""Best movies of 2018"". The film itself impressed me. It's that constant feeling of threat, helplessness, and fear that you get while watching this film. Inevitably one will compare ""Bird Box"" with ""A quiet place"". In this film, the survivors had to produce as little noise as possible, because those who have conquered our beloved globe have a pair of sophisticated ears. Every sigh or groan can, therefore, be heard by them over kilometers, with the result that the person who produced the sound can't do this a second time. In ""Bird Box"", looking is already fatal. That's why a lot is being blinded with newspapers, curtains, and blindfolds. An advantage for the pregnant among the survivors. No problem to be noisy while giving birth. You can see this film as a fusion of ""A quiet place"" and ""Cell"". Just as there's chaos in ""Cell"" after a telephone signal has changed those who were on the phone into murderous psychotics, in ""Bird Box"" it's when looking at something unknown that all hell will break loose. In this film, I found that moment more frightening and more breathtaking. When I watched ""Cell"", I was slightly disappointed about that moment. Perhaps because I also read Stephen King's book and King wrote it in such a brilliant and unparalleled way that it was impossible to film it. After the general mass hysteria where a lot of suicides are being committed, we see how a group of random people is entrenched in someone's home. Soon they are confronted with the known problems. Their food supply is shrinking so they are forced to go outside to resupply. A hazardous undertaking that provides the necessary tension. There's also the constant threat of falling prey to the unknown danger. Or people who seek help (or something else) knocking at their door. Most criticism will probably be given to the fact that the phenomenon that causes a global suicide wave can't be seen at all. Apart from some wind, shadows, and leaves that appear to be floating motionlessly in the air, there's nothing to see. Is it an alien invasion? A failed scientific experiment? A virus? A social media syndrome? No idea. And weird but true, even that didn't bother me. It stimulates your curiosity and makes you feel the same way as the victims. A feeling of helplessness and fear of the unknown. During the entire film, it goes back and forth between past and present. Normally I'm not such a flashback-fan because this usually undermines the pace and mood of the movie. With ""Bird box"" I didn't have that feeling and the subcutaneous tension remained constant. It's clear this film competes for the title ""Best film of the year 2018"". Sandra Bullock steals the show and is emphatically present in almost every scene. Also worth mentioning is John Malkovich as the sometimes hard-hearted cynic and pessimist Douglas. Such a person who immediately assumes that his country is in a state of war. So he's constantly parading around with a gun. There is also Trevante Rhodes which is the absolute opposite of Douglas. A sympathetic fellow who's helpful and shows compassion. And finally, the two young children who act so natural at certain moments. The moment when a terrible decision had to be made during the trip on the river, was touching and brilliantly acted. It's kind of obvious. ""Bird box"" left a crushing impression on me. It wasn't so exciting that I wanted to cover my eyes. But it was a close call! Indeed, a must see.",7 I really liked the story line...i loved Julia character...,8 "Some people might fight this film enjoyable, like kids maybe? but as I watched it in the cinema, even they were bored most of the time. Could this be my reason for walking out ..well maybe, after all nobody likes noisy people around them whether or large or small whilst trying to pay attention to something, but I can certainly say it wasn't my only reason for walking out. Maybe teenagers are the target audience, or adults gripping to childhood. This among other Marvel and DC releases was as I suspected it would be; An over-animated mess without much sense other than to showboat over-priced CGI, over-done sound effects and over-compensated actors. The only decent aspect in all of this was the incredible wide angle scenic shots that could only look better if I were not to be in a cinema, but in nature properly being in these landscapes myself. There are some neat ideas in the film, but if they're only made tangible by the before-mentioned budget, then this indicates a lack of imagination in viewers since a lot of these ideas like magnetic railways could be made far more common place if only we put our money to better use rather than it going to an over-inflated box office for people to sit in a cinema grazing on fat, salt and sugar to take their mind away from the job and bills they hate so much. This film, not unlike 90% of others gives us a glimpse of what is possible by working together, not without question, but with care & dignity ..unlike the current modalities that have such a grapple hold on our Earth at the moment.",4 "The movie was so boring that I was expecting a breakthrough at any time. But unfortunately I had to wait more than 2 hours before something interesting happened, and although the ending was fun it doesn't justify the 9 euros I had to pay in order to watch that pointless ""tribute to Hollywood"". Even though you are QT it doesn't mean you are allowed to torture people for 2+ hours with nonsense movies. Even though you get the best cast, it doesn't guarantee you'll make a great movie. It's time somebody stands up, raise their voice and cries out that ""The king isn't wearing anything at all!""",3 "Something about me: I LOVE the first ""Knives Out""! Hell, I love all of Rian Johnson's work, from ""Looper"" to ""Brick"" and especially ""The Last Jedi"". But damn... I was floored by ""Glass Onion"". Rian Johnson has one-upped himself yet again, crafting a masterful film that surpassed all my expectations! I could rave about this film for so long. I am so excited about how much I loved it, but this is a movie you don't want to know too much about before seeing - its best experienced going in blind (and in a theatre)! ""Glass Onion"" is a coup on cinema narrative for reasons that to explicate would be to spoil. I loved it! This was one of the most fun theatrical experiences I have had in awhile, and the entire rest of the audience seemed to also be having a blast! Rian Johnson has somehow found a way to once again tell an old fashioned whodunnit (along with a lot of the tropes) and make it feel fresh and original, like something we have never seen before! Somehow he always manages to pull off a perfect twist to the mystery formula, and lots of even greater twists and turns inside the story! I adore the way he is able to deconstruct and transform the whodunnit formula, keeping it both familiar and quite new. This one even had some fantastic non-linear moments; it is quite different in tone and structure from the first! This one is even quite a bit funnier! The writing is brilliant, Johnson is truly a genius and really knows how to craft a compelling mystery -- this is a puzzle box of a film! The script is filled with ruthless intelligence, and craftily weaves in the strong plot thread of the haves vs the have-nots on top of an excellent and uniquely structured mystery. The dialogue is an actor's gold; it's rich and leaves lots of room for them to deliver a killer performance (and trust me, they do). Johnson is a master of misdirection, and once again left me on the edge of my seat, hanging on every word and sequence trying to figure out the answer. Even the way Johnson stages and builds scenes is insanely gifted; there was one in the middle that used editing and sounds so excellently to build tension and bring the scene to a crescendo, once I realized what Johnson was doing I was floored at the subtle but effective ways his filmmaking was getting reactions out of the audience! The way he executes twists and turns in the film is also perfection, his reveals are unparalleled! This is a filmmaker showing absolute mastery of the mystery genre, and his craft as a whole! The ensemble cast is of course perfect as well! Daniel Craig is once again exceptional as Blanc, and with this turn I may even like him as this character more than his Bond! And while on the topic of Craig, I loved the costumes his character wore; they had so much personality to them! Blanc easily fits in with the rest of the iconic gentlemen sleuths! The rest of the characters that filled out the ensemble were quite fantastic. I loved all of them because of how well-written and memorable they were, each with their own quirks and fleshed out personalities. They are hilariously unique! Edward Norton played such a fun Elon Musk type character, I loved him in this, and Dave Bautista, Kathryn Hahn and the rest of the cast were stellar too! There were even some amazing cameos that made me smile! But the clear star of the movie was Janelle Monáe; she stole the show and devoured all of her scenes! Rian Johnson has really found a whole new confident stride with these films, and I hope he never stops making them! I could watch Benoit Blanc solve murders for years! The film is rapturously entertaining, and eminently rewatchable. It's hard to discuss the movie in greater detail without giving away too much, so I'll just say, reminiscent of the title itself, the film has multiple layers, and it was fun watching them get ""peeled back"". This is a must see in theatres, it's so much fun with a crowd! Don't wait for Netflix, go see it now while you can! I was floored with how good this is, it's one of the best of the year with Rian Johnson proving himself as the master of the modern whodunnit! Highly recommend it!",10 "When I knew the amount of great actors going to be in this movies I though this would be the movie of the year, but when I started watching for two and a half hours I realized if the movie didn't have Leonardo and Brad in it this would be a big failure.",4 "Fantastic scteenplay, dose'nt seem like 1st movie for this director. Music, camera, editing, adds to wonderful direction. Actor narin, dina, karthi superb performance. Every scene was gripping and edgy till climax. Only hole in the script was, villan's informer stabbing karthi and after multiple stabs, he still survives was really filimish usual masala. That should have been avoided totally and instead they could have shown like the informer was found and karthi strikes at them and finishes off the gang. Anyways, its worth watching twice. After dheeran movie, karthi is sensible enough to choose this movie. Can't imagine any other actor could have matched this role with that ease. AWARD GUARNTEE, VIEWERS ENTERTAINMENT GUARNTEE.",10 "From seeing the trailer, I expected this to be at least an 8 star quality movie. The cast, the cast!! A few newcomers (that are becoming very popular) and a lot of big stars (Evans, Curtis, Plummer, Shannon, Craig). However,, the movie wasn't nearly as good as the trailer made it look. It's certainly not bad,, but an 8 star it is nowhere near. It actually takes a lil while to pickup and get going,,, so yeah, it's a 6 star. No more, no less,,,",7 "When I entered the theater I had not checked the director and writer for this film in maybe a week, so I continually asked myself if it was a Cohen brothers film, which to me is bad when it's actually written/directed by someone else. I think that there is a difference between paying homage to artists and downright imitating them. The protagonist (who is played by Frances McDormand) is presented to us a likable person at first. But when she speaks to the police about her problems she seems quite nazi-esque. She wants to draw and test blood from every person who lives in her town to find a criminal. When the police chief informs her that such a thing is impossible because it would be a gross violation of people's civil rights, she doesn't care. He replies, ""he could have been a man who was just passing through the state."" ""Then let's take blood from everyone in the country."" Sure... She says it quite seriously. Repulsive. Woody Harrelson provides good acting, but there are multiple scenes in the movie when he does voice-over for comic relief that are mildly amusing at first but feel stale and forced rather quickly. There were many times when I just wanted to shut it off-- when someone is stretching irreverence out to the point of being unrealistic and absurd it's just bad writing. It's also bad form to have so much voice-over in any movie. In the early going, Sam Rockwell's cop character is the type of person who would strike me as reprehensible yet tolerable. When he pistol whips an innocent man and woman then beats the man to within an inch of his life he goes from tolerable to I-want-this-moron-to-die. As other people have noted, the police chief (who witnessed all of these things in person) wouldn't just fire such a person. He would be arrested and convicted for attempted murder. Instead, the chief fires him in an almost nonchalant manner. There is also an additional embarrassingly stupid scene in which Rockwell's character thinks that he is overhearing a violent criminal brag to his friend about his crimes. When the criminal confronts him... he scratches his face... then stares at him. Again, the Rockwell character is borderline retarded, but even the dumbest among us have a survival instinct. When I saw this scene play out I thought that it was part of a strategy or plan-- the Rockwell character wanted to get the guys arrested for assault so he could make his case to the police chief. Nope. Just more idiocy. It has a few solid comedic moments. But I would never watch this film again.",3 "As far as Netflix movies go, I'd give it a 9/10. Regular movies, more like a 6. I'll split the difference and call it a solid 7. Compared to other Netflix films, it was captivating and very palatable. Worth a watch if you like original concepts and suspenseful thrillers.",7 Talk to Me is an excellent horror movie. The film has some scenes that are genuinely scary and disturbing. The directing style and storyline are very unique and it's able to keep you on the edge of your seat. Even the sound design is top tier. The Philippou brothers definitely make a strong first impression as a directing duo here. Sophia Wilde also makes an incredible first impression as the lead role here as she shows a lot of range in her performance. The plot line is intriguing and the character dynamics are very interesting. I'm interested to see where they go with the sequel. Overall this is a movie that I thoroughly enjoyed watching and one that made me think. 8/10.,8 "The Man Who Knew Infinity saddens me. Jeremy Irons and Dev Patel are given very little to work with, whilst trapped in the movie's repetitive narrative. Ramanujan wants to publish his papers, but Hardy refuses to publish until they have further proof, and so it goes. The one time the movie's heart has an audible thump is as the two of them try to provide Ramanujan's equations proof. Working together to solve mathematical obstacles. This should be the focus of the movie, but instead, we waste our time on this lukewarm character drama. My only guess as to why they didn't delve deeper into the mathematics, is because the studio thought it would bore the audience to tears. However, its exclusion had only the opposite effect. There is nothing abhorrently bad about the movie, but nothing engaging either.",4 Very predictable series of events. Shallow plot. Full of cliches. The visual and sound effects are good.,4 "This film is kind of odd and it feels like horror and comedy are clumsily combined, but I think that's the point. It shows the massive contrast of human behaviour, the stupidy of war and takes you from slapstick comedy to tears in the next scene. It falls down on believability and I think the comedy would work better if more subtle, but I think the slapstick style is what's intended. Either way you kind of need to see it and had everyone talking about it afterwards.",7 "Illegal trafficing of movies is bad! The films setting is the 1960's and the bootleg video quality gives the film more authenticity to a camera from the 1960's. As long as your audio is of good quality the movie will flow seamlessly as if you were in a movie theater with a reel to reel projector. The only other film that is complimented by bootleg quality is the Lighthouse w/ Dafoe and Patterson. The grainyness, and unsteadiness of the video coupled with the crappy tinty audio adds so much depth to the film it makes one wonder if it was created w/ the clear understanding of the iniquitous world of bootlegging movies.",10 It was a good story but the story focused more on Dhairya rather thn struggle of UPSC aspirants..though I loved SK actiing.. must watch ne time watch..but disappointed with love story theme.,5 "Beautifully made, intriguing, puzzling, tiresome. In that order. Loads of wet, cold atmosphere, undeniably impressive acting, but ultimately unsatisfying.",5 "In the first few seconds of the movie, I could tell this was going to be a horrible experience. It is an assault on the senses in the same way every one of Bay's other movies is. Truly, it is evident in the first sequence what kind of poorly writing, garbage movie this is going to be. I genuinely only left it on because I am feuding with a neighbor and was hoping the noise would bother them, The story is as weak and poorly written as any Michael Bay script. Ultra-rich vigilantes are our ""good guys"" here. It is somehow seen as virtuous that these ultra-rich a-holes get to murder whoever they want, all over the world. Why? Why is it ok to murder foreigners? Because they're rich? What the hell kind of ""good guys"" is that? I hated every false second of dialogue, offensive lighting, dumb chases, terrible fight choreography, awful, one-note characters, etc... Having said that, it is a typical Michael Bay movie, so if you enjoy his schtick, this is a 10/10 for you. This movie could not be any more ""Michael Bay."" So enjoy if that is not your thing. If you enjoy story, character arcs, realistic dialogue, then skip this trash.",1 "Kinda cringe, watch Fire Emblem Three Houses Not enough deep storytelling The graphics aren't as good as Fire Emblem Three Houses",6 "The movie's best moments are its comedy. Everything else just does not really work for me. I can't take the more serious fantasy elements as seriously as the movie clearly wants me to. Everything that happens in this movie feels like it happens way too fast for beings whose lifespans are approximately 5000 years, yet it also feels like nothing actually happens in the movie? People joke about how forgettable the sidekicks are, and they're not wrong. Also Thor and Loki's wigs are not good, and Thor's eyebrows are the worst. And so. many. Dutch. angles. why. Hawkeye, whom I love, gets the absolute worst cameo in what is probably the best scene in the movie. It's not all bad. It is always nice to see more Coulson. Seeing people on the opposite end of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions was a clever choice. I really like the Destroyer's design. It is also the first installment in the ongoing Thor Smushes His Face Into Glass saga. Seriously, if you haven't picked up on this yet, he does this in every movie he's in. Odin is the second Marvel Bad Dad™ in a long list of them.",4 "Good performances from the two actors, but a dark tale of drink and madness. Label me stupid if I missed something, but I didn't get it. Left me thinking 'So What?""",2 "The film based on the book of the Reader by Bernhard Schlink succeeds in having a professional cast with emotional and open actors, especially Kate Winslet, who plays the character of Hanna. Also, the film becomes very lively due to many dynamic transitions and thus can be considered quite solid in terms of production. However, due to the lack of a narrator, the plot is very complex and difficult to follow. Also, many changes were made from the book to compensate for the lack of a narrator. In addition, I personally found the film relatively boring, which made it difficult to really concentrate on the subject. Therefore, despite the high level of professionalism in the cast, I cannot recommend the film if you are not a fan of more abstract romantic dramas.",4 "I was skeptical at first when I read that Henry Cavill was cast as Geralt. I somehow couldn't see him pulling off the stoic Geralt in a satisfactory way but I was very pleasantly surprised after the first episode. He got the character right and THANKFULLY they refrained from ""marvelising"" the character with bad puns and jokes as a lot of adaptions do these days. That being sad, the show has a good pace and has made some very lucky casting choices. The action and fighting scenes are spot on and after watching first season I couldnt spot any unwarranted filler material(im looking at you Mandalorian). There is one gripe tough and that is Triss Merigold. Now, let's get one thing out of the way, I have no issue with different ethnicities being cast in characters that are ""white"" in their original form(Heimdall in the Thor movies did a very good job there). My issue with Triss is more along the lines of the character lacking any meaningful development and frankly the actress just seems wrong for the role. In each of her scenes I never felt that im looking at Triss Merigold that I know from the lore, she just appears to be a random that seems oddly out of place with the rest of the character. Fringila on the other hand does a good in making that character and her motivations come to life, with Triss, despite knowing her story, I always ask myself why she's even there. Also thankfully they didnt go down the road of CGI madness and the action seems very much down to earth as does the sword combat, it looks believable I just wished they would carve out Geralts mutant abilities better. The potions for instance warrant a better explanation for those that arent familiar with the world of the witcher. Those are however minor gripes and I really enjoyed binge watching it from start to finish in 2 days time.",8 Really disappointing and boring film. I would nto recommend it.,5 "Where to start? Music all through the show is awful. Dr. Smith is a terrible character. Jonathan Harris must be turning in his grave. Too many people trying too hard to be cool but none is sympathetic. The situations presented are stupid and forced. Special effects were ok (ish)... I'm glad this show is canceled. I'll go back to watch the original. That one was fun.",5 "Red Sparrow would have been regarded as a great movie if released before Black Widow, Atomic Blonde or Salt. The story of cold-war honey-pots to trap diplomats to extract sensitive information is not a new one. Like most of the sexpionage movies, adequate scenes of grueling brutalities are added to pep up the storyline and create the base of the characterization. What tries to separate it from the lineage of those movies is its skilled star cast and first-rate screenplay. The action scenes are fast and well-choreographed. However, the plot seems to ride too much on the soldiers of its titular character and fails to provide the requisite nail-biting suspense. If compared with the recent films of its genre, the thing that stands out is Jennifer's strong acting skills, otherwise, the rest of the movie suffers from inconsistencies and feels rather vapid.",6 This is an amazing episode just like the other episodes were! Can't wait for the last 2 episodes,10 Why is michael bay still allowed to make movies? Why is michael bay still allowed to make movies? Why is michael bay still allowed to make movies? Apparently my review was too short.,4 "Just to be short. Season 1-3 were phenominal. Season 3 being my favourite. After Netflix resurrectted it , it just don't feel like the same show . I was bored to death. It was not funny anymore. It felt like a parody of itself.",7 "I personally found the movie okay-ish good. Like a good one time watch, but I won't re-watch it or recommend it as such. Although it portrays as horror, the movie mostly just seems to be a thriller. The movie has nothing special to offer. It is set in a typical apocalyptic world, with strange creatures that can't be seen and won't attack until you see them. OK, so this is a new concept, but the way it plays out is like any typical Zombie movie. First all the survivors are locked in a house, running out of ration, go to a grocery store or some place to rob, slowly start losing team members. The plot. The plot is a little unexplained. The makers want to keep you focused on the horror, but there isn't that much horror anyways, and on top of that you don't even give answers to what the creatures are, why and how are they coming to Earth. I wanted more answers and I kept on thinking I will get them by the end, but nothing. Also, why does she hate the girl child so much? Why does she only name them girl or boy? I understand it a life and death situation but that just seemed stupid to me. Overall, there was no horror, no explanation, no story as such (pretty much generic), acting was OK (nothing that deserves a standing ovation), no character development (I couldn't connect with them), and very limited action. Not worth the hype at all.",5 "Is it really better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all? The movie attempts to answer the question of whether there really is such a thing as fate, and if we are fated to be with someone, we will eventually end up with them, no matter what. The movie showcases Jim Carey as the perpetual loser (Joel), the man who can't keep the girl, and eventually ends up subscribing to a clinic which can erase his memories of his ex-girlfriend (Clementine) (The ever so gorgeous Kate Winslet). However, in the midst of the process he begins to regret his decision, and tries to hold on to the memories as they are being deleted. I found the ending the most poignant part of the movie. While not giving the twist away, I found the ending rather depressing; the finality of the situation and the idea that you can't run away from fate. Yet, some may view it as the glass is half-full..and that fate will bring two people together, no matter what. A highly thought-provoking movie, with excellent performances by jim carey and kate winslet. I give this movie 7.5/10",7 "it is a brilliant series with suspense. never a moment where you find bored you are always on the end of your seat and they lead you to think that a person is the one for all the commotion but they were just leading you on and then it turns out to be the person you least expect. when i first started watching it i was like ""this is going to be boring"" but i loved every second of it, the suspense is just amazing. it is just amazing. lots of credit to the scriptwriters. never a dull moment. whenever i watched one i wanted the other to be on straight. if i had the chance i would definitely watch all the 24 episodes in one day because it is possible. it is also very well done the way they thought of the whole problem being in 1 day because there are 24 something happens every hour. just amazing and i can't describe best program ever. i'm on the last 3 hours and it's just amazing can't wait but i'm ready for the next series already.",10 "I was curious about this show. I like the classic black and white show and i LOVE the first two 90's movies. I like the look of the show. The trailer really made it look like it could be allot of fun. Unfortunately i was wrong. Jenna Ortega is absolutely terrific in the role. I really dig her performance and screen-presence. I also like her love interest AND the inclusion of Christina Ricci (Wednesday in the 90's Addams Family movies), but that's pretty much it. The story is dull, the characters are uninteresting, the dialogues are boring and there's just waaaaay too much filler. A real shame.",4 "I recommend Prisoner to my friends for the movie night based on the fact that its a Huge Jachman movie (as I am a Huge fan) and current rating of it on IMDb but regret it like hell since 20 minutes of the beginning. The movie is the same old kidnapping story with awful length and pathetically slow. The director tried to make the environment for suspense and thrill but failed to do so, except for the last 10 minutes, which I do not count with 2 and a half hour. The acting however is bit better, thanks to Huge Jackman and Terrence Howard. The movie has its ups and downs but as you slide down your seat, you have to wake up to catch up the sudden scene. So, my recommendation, if you want to waste some of your time or want to get frustrated, be my guest.",2 "If it wasn't for Carrey this film would be straight to video. A feeble attempt to do the ""flashback"" genre so wonderfully mastered by Tarantino and it fails in every respect. The viewer is left wondering what on earth is going on. what time period id this piece from? By the time you've worked it out the next one has cut in, or we're back to the present day - or are we? Its being clever for being clever's sake. Slow to get going it meanders about with little character development at all. Gets better at the end but by then I was past caring. Easily the worst film to come out since the mind-numbingly awful ""Lost in Translation"".",1 This mean meandering mess is Tarantino trying hard to be Tarantino and failing at it. All the Tarantinoesqe can't stop it from being boringesque. Praying the next one is a banger.,2 "Nice production, globaly high quality product, but but but... all the characters are weird and superficial. Probably the targeted audience are kids, no other logical reasons can justify the banality of the dialog and the storytelling. Than personally I found all the female characters really irritating, they are supposed to be all ultra smart than do ultra stupid things... Good luck!",5 "KFH uses the same gymnastic spectacle, atmospheric sets, and masterly photography as many recent Chinese hits, but replaces self-conscious artiness and romance with Popeye-style schlock. The story doesn't even try to be coherent and is nothing more than a device for stringing together contrived set pieces and laboured jokes. The result is ultimately boring. As for levitating combatants, and gangster mobs who politely avoid attacking from behind (preferring to wait until the hero gets round to systematically duffing them up from in front) ... enough already! It's time for Hong Kong Hollywood to take a back seat and give us real stories, real actors, and real China.",3 "As it has an expected plot the screenplay should have been different. Also in terms of the philosophy it doesn't have is great there. It's more of a homage to the greats of the racing world.",7 "Life is too short to have to put up with so much profanity, and no one and nothing in this show is funny. At least no one or nothing was in the first episode, which was as far as I got. I mean absolutely nothing was funny. Maybe it's some special secret type of humor only those in the know appreciate. I would have given it more of a chance, though, if not for the profanity. All I was left thinking at the end of Episode 1 was it's too bad the three characters didn't have a true comedy obsession instead of a true crime obsession. (I'm so disappointed in Hulu, too. Every time I subscribe to watch something only Hulu has, I end up regretting the subscription. Their exclusive streaming shows aren't even worth $13 a month.)",1 "If you are going to make a film about a historical event, particularly one that is not hundreds of years old, you would expect some level of historical accuracy. This had little. If you are not going to be historically accurate, you need some good characters - there weren't any really. Maybe the plot historically would have been too slow, but it would have been better than what was attempted. Some of the effects looked good and the music was not terrible, but I didn't like it, overall.",5 """ Barbie "", fulfilling the expectations of our childhood dreams. This is the first live-action Barbie movie adaptation based on Mattel's Barbie fashion doll. Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, who go on a journey of self-discovery following an existential crisis. Shimmery pink in the dream world while Barbie and her friends placed lovingly. Barbie Land features detailed replicas at a specific scale to look like life-size toy dolls. The clothes, furnitures, dream house, and background of the movie set are all designed to look like the original toy. Barbie Land's construction almost entirely uses an enchanting pink colour. Greta Gerwig as a director neatly wraps up the complex issues faced by women in society in a fun and easily accessible way. Barbie itself is a representation of all women's hopes and desires to be anything they want, including the right to live free from violence and discrimination, to be educated, to own property, and to vote. In Barbie Land, women rule the worlds. Barbie's casting choices have a specific quality. Barbie's Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling obviously looks perfect. Margot Robbie is a living doll, her face and posture are perfect to play the role of Barbie. Although, Ryan Gosling steals the whole show. Ken looks fun to hang out with. The entire soundtrack of the Barbie movie is very meaningful and upbeat.",8 I agree! Great cgi. The plot is good. The story is fine...but the development is sooooo boring. It kind a...makes you think if you keep watching. It could be so much better.,7 Plot holes everywhere. Disappointingly poor script.,4 "Earth has become inhabitable in this work of Nolan-ized science fiction, so a crew of four explorers travel through a wormhole in hopes of finding a new place for humans to live. Over-budgeted and overlong, but still enjoyable; unfortunately, Nolan no longer takes a complex idea and cinematically fleshes it out, he instead takes cheap thrills and attempts flip them into something better—here we have the idiocy of Armageddon trying to be flipped into the brilliance of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Definitely has its moments, but nobody will be begging for it not to end. **½ (out of four)",7 "This is a decent drama though its nothing new, I enjoy these detective series types though they are almost ALL the same. A dysfunctional lead detective, that is either divorced or going through a divorce, that has a problematic family and almost always a major life crisis event has happened. Do we really need this drama? Can we not just get a good crime drama without all these stereotypical clichés which have been done time and time again.",7 "Thoughts on this movie: 1. Seems obvious and done before. 2. Wait, who is the movie about? Are the magicians the protagonists, or are the FBI/Interpol guys? Or maybe it's that mastermind, or the debunker? Not sure where this is going. 3. Okay, they've explained all that, and yes, it was obvious and done before but looks like they got that out of the way, and maybe there's something more to come. 4. Hmm, something more to come looks like car chases and every person in the movie acting like they've never seen a movie or a criminal before. 5. Wow, in addition to being magicians, hypnotists and sleight of hand experts, these guys are also frickin Ninjas. 6. Jesse Eisenberg is playing the same character he played in that Facebook movie, and I'm perplexed as to how Mark Zuckerburg developed those ninja skills. 7. Two Words: Far. Fetched. 8.

Brilliant",10 "Watched the first episode, wondered where the heck it was going, then once the VR game got started, it got ridiculously stupid. After the acclaim of that one episode with the girl from Halt and Catch Fire, you can see this is the direction they wanted to go in from here on out. What tacky, self-serving propaganda. I'm out. Have at it.",1 "OK. Overall i do appreciate a superhero film with a more somber and serious tone and Nolan deserves a lot of respect for going trough with this. But even so, i don't think that has to come of the expense of less fun and less interesting action. Watching The Dark Knight i missed the witty bantering between Batman and Alfred, witch was one of my favorite parts of Batman Begin. Other flaws: 1. Batman himself. He is a bit corny. Yes, you heard me right. I cant help but cringe when he does his Batman voice. I don't know if this has been a big issue on the board, but i think it should be. 2. Batman doesn't have worthy enemies. He is too damn powerful and dangerous. A film like this needs suspense, yet i never felt he was very threatened by anything. Booooring. 2. Too much Batman and not enough of the Joker. This re-visioning of the Joker is surely the best thing in the film, and Huge turns in a GREAT performance. Joker as a psychopat you actually can believe in. His scenes are by far the most exciting, fun and just plain engrossing parts. I couldn't get enough of him. But who was he really? I was really hoping for some king of back-story(how did he turn out like that?!) but the film explored less interesting parts instead. So we got Twoface and some nice musings on what truly makes a hero. Although i have to say the ending is pretty good. Im at loss for the hype surrounding DK and is not surprised that Nolan dosenst wanna continue, seeing that he had to struggle some to make ends meet here, and is probably sick of this franchie by now.",5 "IF you're 30 minutes into this movie and find it boring, turn it off and read the spoiler, to save you the time. How the heck did it get 8.0+ rating? This is a classic? I find it banal boring - a first yr film student can do a better job - no offense to the students. The music was somewhat suspenseful. I figured something profound is going to happen that I had to watch it; I can't quit on this movie. By the end, instead of an standing ovation for this classic, I asked myself ""WTF,"" I want my two hours back. Where are the artistic and creativity in this? By the way, I'm not here to tell anyone not to watch this movie.",3 It starts slow and a bit strange but the story starts to improve and it gets good well up until Agatha Harkness the the whole story just becomes stupid. There was no need it was ok as it they road it was going. You do not always need a dumb twist and this is dumb. It spoiled the whole story.,6 "Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a one trick pony that doesn't land its trick. The entire movie is filler stalling for its final battle, yet that showdown is disappointing. Yes, it is between two marketable comic book characters, but that's all it provides. The villain is underdeveloped and uninteresting, the imagery is sloppy and cluttered, and the choreography is nonsensical. Because there is no coherent style or vision, the sequence ends up being a big, ugly mess. Normally, the details of an action sequence wouldn't be so significant, but that's all this film invests in. Everything about the story is rushed, repetitive, and uninspired. There are no intimate moments to allow things sink in because the script lacks substance worth meditating on. The humor is okay at times, Tom Hardy is talented enough to have chemistry with himself, and effort went into the CGI (though it was overused). However, besides that, this production is pointless. Even the violence is unsatisfyingly suppressed for that PG-13 rating. Undoubtedly, some fanboys will be content with a mediocre fight between two characters they recognize, but as a film, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a noisy pile of nothing.

Unlike movies like Dark City and The Mummy which used very clever and enjoyable special effects in a relatively restrained fashion to serve a real story, with atmosphere, good acting and writing, this had people I could care less about, a story maybe I was too dumb to get, or maybe I had too much of a headache to be able to try. Without the aid of a computer, this movie would have nothing. Guess I am an old fogie at 35, this is nothing but a "".dot com"" movie that I fear will be the wave of the future. I'm glad I will be dead by the time it becomes the norm.",4 "I really don't know where to begin with this movie. It had horrible intro, just right away the movie starts when you're sitting in theatre with hardly any intro logos to help get you settled in (like the intros for Lord of the Rings, showing different companies) like any other movie. The acting is too shout-ey, like everyone is constantly at the top of their throat when talking as if they're trying to be or feel cool but its miserably failing. No one is calm and confident in their ability to speak; like Liam Neesun in Batman Begins as Ducard, or as Qui Gon Jinn. Or for Indian movies, like Amrish Puri in Dilwale or Amitabh in Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham. There's a way normal people speak, and this was all screechy, hard to explain. And you may not even notice it. But it's there. Some scenes were WAY too irritatingly loud as well, sound channels need work. Not that it's even worth the work anyway, let me explain. The whole thing is one big scam, all the camera flow is off, the dialogue is terrible and bland, too many annoying people. Standard cliché bollywood faces you see; actors that come out of no where but have reached fame through cheap means. It doesn't play out like A MOVIE PERIOD, let alone a Shahrukh movie. Bad pacing. Really really bad acting other than the fact I couldn't tell the ""fan"" character and Aryan Khanna (his hero) were the same actor. If you call that good then sure, but it's like adding good sprinkles on top of a bad ice cream. I don't get why people congratulate him for acting in this. Good actor in bad movie doesn't make it a good movie. It's just ""yeah sure, we'll throw you a cookie for fooling us with your acting"". Feels nothing like a Shahrukh movie. Seems they'll do ANYTHING to get...whatever it is they hope to get out of this movie. I don't even know if it made that much money. Sure the fight scenes were interesting but again it's just ice cream sprinkles. A very boring movie. The movie was plain out disturbing too, I can't believe it's rated PG and parents actually took their kids to see it. Grim and graphic, it is not a pleasant movie. You don't get the lush wide open feel of Punjab or some place like in Shahrukh's other movies. No youthful running around pranking girls, no good songs, no comedy, just a creepy movie that aliens must have made. I was itching to walk out but I had to stay. Horrible movie. Can't believe they actually make things like this now. It's neither a real Indian movie or American, it seems like some cheap thing that's stuck in between, as all of Bollywood is now. 0/10, nobody should see this!",1 "Before seeing this film, I was reading the reviews and almost chose not to go for it. It would be a mistake. This film reminded me the good old reason why we go to the cinema, to see a meaningful story, done with the taste and beauty, with the plot and the actual point that makes you think about it some time after you leave the cinema. This film has got it all. With the slow pace, artistic touch, reference to the history (but not being done just to show the history itself), with a little bit of absurdity, it is definitely a refresher within the current offer in the cinemas. The cast full of stars adds on the quality of the film. All in all, 100% recommended to everyone who can appreciate this type of realisation.",10 "I don't have that much to say about this movie. It's too plain and mediocre. Nothing special about the story, nothing about the characters. The plot twist, if you may call it that, is weak at best. The decorations were built with great attention to detail, but they don't create any striking image. Except maybe the elevated toilet. But do you really think a toilet is enough to earn the praise that this movie gets? The parallel events that happen to the two families are very obviously parallel, you don't even have to watch the movie to see it. The title of the movie - yeah, we get that, who is actually the parasite, very subtle, haha. Ironically, this doesn't get more obvious after watching. The moral? Well, dubious at best. I hope they were not trying to justify the murder by the distaste to the smell of the people on the subway. But in this case, what is this movie about? It's kinda empty, has nothing to say. The actors play fine, nothing above or below average. Then, a few words about humor. This movie is listed as comedy. Yeah, it uses some typical comedic moves, like the impostor family hiding below the table. But none of those are funny. Most of these moments are just cringeworthy. I don't know if the director was going for this emotion, and even if he did it successfully, I'm not appreciating it. As a comedy, this film is far below mediocre. So what's the big deal about Parasite?",5 "I'm perplexed by the glowing reviews for ""Fantastic Beasts,"" as it seems to lack any of the wonder or warmth of the best of the ""Harry Potter"" movies. The titular beasts are not-so-fantastic, rather appearing as very garish, cartoonish CGI creations - instantly pulling us out of the film and its new world-building. Every set piece is just constructed with endless green screen and lazy computer effects. There's nothing exhilarating or awe-inspiring on display here - just one video game cut scene after another. (And I'm a video game fan, so I'm not belittling them; but the point is that as a movie with such an emphasis on visuals, there's nothing here that you haven't seen done much better, including on home gaming consoles.) Eddie Redmayne, one of the most overracted actors alive, is woefully miscast as Newt. He takes scenery-chewing to Nic Cage levels, minus the fun. Every facial expression, every little tic, is so overly calculated and overly accentuated that it begins to evoke memories of Simple Jack from ""Tropic Thunder."" Colin Farrell is stuck in another supporting role that doesn't play to his strengths, completely forgettable and generic. Ezra Miller seems to be in competition with Redmayne to see who can chew the most scenery - the kid is just awful. There's a not-so-secret cameo appearance that was announced before the movie hit theaters (ostensibly to counteract any potential fallout due to the actor's recent personal issues and allegations of doemstic abuse) - and this actor, who was once so talented, manages to ham it up even with just two pieces of dialogue, and leaves very little hope that he will be a menacing or charismatic villain in the (god help us) sequels to this movie. There are numerous supporting actors who seem tonally and aesthetically wrong for the 1920s setting - the whole crew of wizards, for example, look like a bunch of Abercrombie models playing Prohibition dress-up. You know how the undercut haircuts are all the rage right now, loosely based on haircuts from that era but upgraded with the skin fading, etc. that barbers back then did not have the means to do? Well, that's pretty much how everyone looks in this movie. Even Colin Farrell is rocking a hipster undercut that just distracts. Katherine Waterston is awesome. She looks the part, she puts Redmayne to shame as an actor, and she inspires a lot of faith for her role in ""Alien: Covenant."" She is the lone saving grace of this film. It's a shame about the rest of the performances and the glaringly poor CGI special effects, because honestly, the other attention to detail paid to the city and its era is pretty impressive - there are lone shots in the movie, the ones mostly devoid of the miserable SF/X, that are quite impressive and lovely to look at. The costumes for average city folk (less so the wizards...) are lovingly fashioned. There are hints here of what a great film this might have been in the hands of a better director, someone who didn't make a film as bad as ""The Legend of Tarzan,"" with a cast of actors who mostly aren't hamming it up and totally misfiring on every level. Maybe the sequel will rectify these issues.",4 "Gravity is pulling us down. Yes it had several gripping scenes but... it also had George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, two of my least favorite actors. Also I'm not a fan of films where the laws of physics are treated like Play-Doh. Almost 50 years ago a film about space, weightlessness, and isolation, stunned audiences as Gravity seems to today. But compare them, Kubrick's ""2001: A Space Odyssey"" was a deep profound subtle masterpiece whereas Gravity was dumb thrill ride of no substance. 2001 looked forty, perhaps 100 years into the future, while Gravity reached back eight years at a now dead shuttle program. Civilizations do spiral down, their populaces trending courser and dumber. This is documented in their movies.",4 Both Henry Cavill and Anya Chalotra are a joy to watch. There is real chemistry between their characters. So far enjoying every bit of the series. Great work....but what is even more joy to watch are the fighting scenes. Hats down for amazing choreography and stellar performance by Henry Cavill. This is the Geralt I was waiting for.,8 After finishing the episodes i can say that the first and the last episodes are the top ones... the rest is the normal journey of success and failure.. The moral that i felt during it is ( we only need people that truly believe in us in order to succeed and surpass any obstacle ),8 Very good but my two complaints are 1. Carnage not turning his hand Into an Axe at least once and 2.not using Carnage Rules by Green Jelly.,7 "The pacing of this film is utterly terrible. I could not believe it. For a ponderous protagonist who needs to ""hear the music"" and smell the roses in order to think, Christopher Nolan does not offer this luxury to the audience, were are barraged with an unintelligible uncomfortable narrative, flying at the constant pace of an Ocean's Eleven hiest scene; we are pelted with infinite cameos (everyone is in this film) rock and roll scientific revelations happening every few scenes (because of the frequency, each one feeling more meaningless than the next) everbody quips and there is a cut to a new scene every 7 seconds: cameo, quips, revelations, cut, famous qoute, cameo, lecture, quips, cut, 1940's iconography, cameo, cut, physics, war, cut, cameo, revelation, quips, cut. Nonsense. I've never seen so many cuts in a film before going at one constant blistering pace, it makes you feel sick. I was an hour in thinking this a form of torture, and there are two hours left. Every new character is presented in that 'matter of fact' way, like in the style of Wes Anderson, like they are props in a vignette, however in Oppenheimer it's happening every 30 seconds. Christoper Nolan seems to think intelligent people quip really fast and all the time. Women are either psychotically aloof, kinky for intelligence or Schizophrenic, which also would be the perfect way to descibe this film. The script is again like Hollywood gave 100 million dollars to a 22 year old Yale date-rapist, who's only seen three films; Ocean's Thirteen and two Bond movies, and asked him to write and direct a blockbuster revolving around the history of quantum physics, all while being perilously addicted to cocaine. The most hilarious scene in the film involves Florence Pugh and Cillian Murphy with first mention of Oppenheimer's famous paraphrase of the Bhagavad-Gita ""I am the destroyer[...]"" etc. The scene is concieved of the most frat-boy 'whoa bro, this is so cool' logic you will every see to dramatise the life of a prominent physicist. I say dramatise, there is no drama or stakes in this film, again it's the pacing, nothing in this film carries any wieght. This film is not recommended for anyone with an anxiety disorder, vertigo, pregnancy (this film may harm the brain of a developing feotus) actually...let's just leave it at THIS FILM IS NOT RECOMMENDED. I generously gave 2/10 stars. As even when your crazy toddler draws you a scribbled mess of a garbage picture, it still ends up on the fridge.",2 "Back in 2002, the first Spider-Man movie in the trilogy was released. While director Sam Raimi did a good job of making the movie, it was still lacking one thing: good character development. Now, in the summer of 2004, the second Spider-Man movie is released. ""Is it better than the original?"" numerous people will ask. That answer is definitely a yes, because Spider-Man 2 introduces a new type of special effect: the effect of character development. Spider-Man 2 begins with Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), our hero with superhuman spider abilities, facing the problems of becoming a superhero. Peter's grades are slipping; he gets fired from his jobs; he feels bad that he didn't help prevent the death of his Uncle Ben (Cliff Robertson); his best friend, Harry Osborn (James Franco), is angry at him for being fond of Spider-Man; and worst of all, Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), the girl he is in love with, is mad at him for abandoning her to fight crime. And in turn, she has decided to marry John Jameson (Daniel Gillies), who is the son of Peter's boss J. Jonah Jameson (played by J.K. Simmons). And there's STILL a villain for Peter to fight. Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) has four mechanical metal arms welded onto his body after a fusion energy source accident, and becomes known as Doc Ock. Now, it's up to Spider-Man to stop Octavius before he manages to create another and larger fusion energy source and risks destroying the entire city! Other things have improved in Spider-Man 2 other than the addition of the new effect I just discussed. Special effects have improved dramatically, and Spider-Man moves more realistically. But the special effects also help make Dr. Octavius's four tentacles look and move extraordinarily, and therefore every scene with both Spider-Man and Octavius is amazing. Another thing that has improved is the screenwriting; screenwriter Alvin Sargent writes better dialogue and has better pacing, which works well during the dramatic and romantic sequences. While Spider-Man 2 is a very good movie, it's not absolutely flawless, but I only have one gripe. I just thought that Octavius's conclusion at the end was a bit clichéd and predictable. I don't want to spoil the ending for you, but you'll understand once you see it. But overall, Spider-Man 2 is a very good movie and is improved dramatically by its added character development. As a final statement, I can't wait for the third installment in the trilogy! ****1/2 out of ***** Rated PG-13 for intense action/violence",9 "There are so many crime TV series around that they are actually becoming quite stale, the plot is almost always the same with little variation. However, Sherlock breathes new life to this dying genre of shows. I think it's brilliantly done, the pace is very fast. As much as each episode is almost an hour and a half long, the plot never drags. I particularly enjoy Sherlock's dialogs as he speaks really fast and his quirky manner that rubs everyone the wrong way. Although it has only been 3 episodes, excluding the original pilot, I am already addicted to this series. But there is no such thing as perfect. The only one thing I find a little unpleasant is that some of the side characters have poor acting skills. A couple of them are so bad I nearly cringed. Other than that, I must say I love this show!",9 "Movie was great as is, except for one scene. Scene where she's tied up, and water is being poured on her. Would of been good without the stupid heavy metal song that just played for like a split second. Should of just left the song out. To the guy giving this movie a 6. Just cuz not enough nudity or violence you're dumb. Wish ppl would pay attention to the story line. SMH",8 "Explain to me why my favorite actress was placed in this movie and then allowed herself to act like a fifty year old woman? Shame on the director for picking that actor to play spiderman as he was just an irritating waste of visual disturbance. The movie was slow, didn't develop any new plot lines and for the most part, was the exact same movie as the first spiderman with some of the names changed. It is time to pull the plug on this franchise as I will not waste another moment or a dime of my money watching a hack play spiderman and watching a great actress like Emma, play a hack. By the way, my 8 year old son could have directed this movie as well if not better than it was directed. The story lacked belief, which is really sad since we all suspend our disbelief to watch this crap.",3 "GOT was good till later seasons came in, and the last episodes was so dark, we could see absolutely nothing. So much anticipation for the winter battle and we got that, shame. Now again they put the same people in charge here on House of the Dragon and we have a lot more dark scenes here, mostly in claustrophobic scenes inside castles. I hate with passion these dark scenes. I don't know why they do that, are they trying to cheapfy something? I was hoping GOT served as lesson how no to do it. Sad. There is so much talk, so much and even with all that they were unsuccessful to build strong characters we care about, worse yet the schemes are not even interesting. Meh. I hope they stop trying to milk this universe.",1 I am very happy for Michael Bay. I am so glad that he got the opportunity to make this film that he must have had the time of his life making. And to the crew. I hope you all had fun travelling to exotic locations and blowing things up. But what a load of trash this movie is. It's one fat commercial for so many brands and it takes human life and makes it worthless in the eyes of the viewer. This is desensitizying trash that no one should watch if they value what it is to be human.,2 "The performances by John Walker, Zemo and Bucky Barnes are the saving grace of this show. It feels a bit slow paced at times especially when the Flag Smashers are on the screen. But John Walker as the new Captain America is.just awesome and so relatable. Wyatt Russell is the star of this show. Watch it for him, and Sebastian Stan's acting was good too. Zemo was impressive.",7 I'm from a country with dictator and I found this movie super offensive!,1 I played the game and its a masterpiece but coming tothe series. Its terrible and dragging. Characters are great but over all boring,2 Worthless. Just worthless. They have just shattered the accent of bengali language. Also wasted these talents.,1 "If you can handle cringing at a lot of overacted scenes and realize that watching this is basically watching fiction nowhere near the actual story, it is a halfway decent and enjoyable show. I will forever marvel at the fact the director, numerous numerous professionals on set, the actress herself, test audiences did not call out how hilariously stupid those ""talking in a manly voice"" scenes are. I mean she literally talks like she is reading a story to a child and voicing a bear or something. At this point every suspension of disbelief was completely broken for me because it was this grossly overacted.",2 "I saw this movie the night it came out in the nineties. Having no one else to base my critique on, I told the person I went with it was alright and quite forgettable. Fast forward a few weeks and the world is raving about this unrealistic, predictable movie. It was kinda like a Disney movie - probably geared towards 10 year olds. And of course once people hear a movie is great, the sheeple can no longer form their own opinions. To this day it still amazes me that the movie is considered a modern masterpiece. Oh well, remove your brain and enjoy Tom Hank's worst acting performance if it makes you happy.",4 "Despite all its accolades, perhaps some deserved, I have yet to see any for Spiderman 2's pure entertainment value. Before anything else, I was expecting a good action/adventure superhero film with cool action (fight scenes etc.), thrills, and suspense. Instead, this movie is incredibly slow-paced, has minimal fight scenes between Octavius and Spiderman, and in total, they only constitute maybe 5 percent of the film's duration. Moreover, the way Octavius perishes can only be described as pathetic. I grant that there are some funny moments and that character development is in-depth, but this movie feels more like a drama than a superhero flick. I seem to remember that the first Batman was masterful in its mix of both elements.",1 "Edited after episode 4 season 2. Season 2 is so far a bummer.. i don't know what they have done, maybe the change in director, or some writers changes? So far they taken the fun out of Loki. Instead of a loki god of mischief, that are a little bit evil and a lot of fun, but always acting like he knows everything and are in charge, Loki is running around like an copy of Kiefer Sutherland in a late season of 24 (boring, predictable, not very interesting) The chemistry that Tom Hiddlestone and Owen Wilson had in season 1 is gone. I do hope that this will improve, only two more episodes to go, but doubt it... so i'm guessing that this will be yet another show in decline that will not see a season 3 For season 1 I dont know whats going on, as i really don't score the other MCU TV series very high (wandavision), but with Loki it's just spot on for me. I think the humor is very good and combined with the mystery of who is behind everything, it drives the story forward. Action is ok but less important. Loki, Sylvia and Mobius are just great. Its the first TV series in quite a while, that i'm actually excited about watching as soon as possible, once a week.",6 "I guess I should preface this review by saying I just don't like Tom Holland as Spiderman and in general I'm disappointed with these new silly Marvel movies. It was nice to see the actors playing villains reprise their roles, especially William DeFoe. It was also nice to see my favorite Spiderman, Andrew Garfield. But, as a movie and a story, I didn't care for it.",4 "Just another average high school mystery drama. It was ok, just not very Addams family like. The show is about Wednesday going to a boarding school for outcasts and solving murders. The casting of Gomez, Morticia, and uncle Fester were horrible. Who ever cast them should be fired. They weren't in very much of it but they ruined what they were in. Gomez and Morticia were so normal: no passion, no intimacy, no romance, or weirdness. The show was predictable and cliche. Wednesday was ok but still not the Wednesday from the movies. And Pugsly was a total wimp. I almost stopped watching after the first episode, but wanted to give it a chance. ; I was disappointed. The show was only about Wednesday. The rest were in very little of it but they made it feel like I wasn't watching the Addams family.",3 "When I saw ""Gravity"" ranking in the 250 right between ""Taxi driver"" and ""the great dictator"" I thought my eyesight has gone bad. Are there any ambitious critics left out there? If you like a movie or not depends sometimes on personal taste or expectations, but seriously: this is not a good movie, not ONE BIT. It's but a theme park ride. I have to admit it, seeing ""Gravity"" on the big screen is an experience like no other. The 3d isn't even that good, but the (so-called) camera work really makes you feel like floating in space. The visual effects are stunning, the whole look suits great. The sound effects are arranged like a first- person experience, it's awesome. Summarized, these features give the viewer an effect of the physical experience which the protagonist is going through. But that's it. The movie is more of a demonstration of what modern cgi is capable to achieve. The whole rest of what makes a movie great like: an original story, good acting, well-written characters or even authenticity: ""Gravity"" screws it up. All of it. The background story of Sandra Bullocks character is the most clichéd and cheesy thing i've seen in a while, her acting is so unsubtle that it almost hurts. The ""dog-scene"" is the most embarrassing thing, it's not even funny.The dialogue is insulting everyones intelligence who has a little bit of sense of criticism left. Many of these issues are to blame on the script, of course. The ending is decent, at least. (George Clooneys character isn't even worth mentioning). I don't want to imagine what a great movie it could have been if they used a good script and a suitable actress. Like this, ""Gravity"" is evidence of the incapacity of ""professional"" critics and it shows how much the overall voting culture on IMDb lost its proportionality. I am worried about the influence this movie will have on future works. 5 out of 10 because it's a cool experience once, but it will be buried in oblivion right after sighting it. The perfect movie for modern throwaway society.",4 "Another classic from Neeraj Pandey. After The Wednesday I was actually waiting for his next movie. This time, its a Con Game. and he pulled it with a class. Be it the simple things like Telephones in 80's or Contessa, Premier Padmini car's, or the nostalgic colors. From the first scene to the climax, its a thrilling ride. You would be glued to your seats until the last scene. One thing that kind of not liked a lot is the love track, but i guess its part of story and again its my personal opinion. I guess I am not even qualified to comment about the actors in the movie. Superb acting, great storyline and excellent background score. Overall Simply Superb. Don't miss it",9 "Quite frankly, this is the best thing I've ever seen. The writing, the music, the acting, the pacing, the directing, it's all too good. However, I think, the standout element of the series is how it will surprise you, subvert your expectations. I've never seen anything else do it even remotely as good and continually as this. Their ability to pull plot twists out of their butts, which make perfect sense, that shock you. If you wanna check out this very long series, keep that in mind. It will surprise you, and it'll keep doing it.",10 "This is a bit too much of everything in my opinion, coldly calculated only for superficial comedy effects, which are not so funny at all. It neither worked as a satire, nor a drama. You feel the strong effort throughout, they wanted to be original, they wanted to be daring, they wanted to be emotive. Ever so strongly. I am always a bit frustrated when I feel this effort a bit too much while watching. They didn't fail completely, the boy is cute, some sequences are entertaining, but sometimes emotional efforts fall flat and turn sentimental. It's not enough for a classic. Watch Lubitsch or Chaplin instead.",4 "I don't mind having to ponder on a mystery or plot twist but I watch a movie for entertainment and enjoyment. Despite a top cast, great acting and cinematography and an interesting set, I didn't enjoy this one. I would go so far as to say it was a waste of 1 hour 47 minutes of my time. The overall premise was evident early on. But each scene leading up to the climax either predictable, confusing or at times silly. The ending being the latter. I ended up researching the plot to see if I was missing something (not a good sign!). And found that if I had a degree in theology it may have made some sense. So a resounding ""no, Chef"" from me.",3 "Rented this film for $0.99 from RedBox and I'm seriously considering asking for a refund. If I had spent full price to watch this drivel in a theatre I'd be furious. Nearly three hours of rambling, unfocused, self-indulgent nonsense despite excellent performances by Pitt and DiCaprio.",2 "It is very, very rare that I could not finish a movie. The only one I ever could not watch was the last transformers one. This one came close. They tried something here and to me, it utterly failed. One giant blob of mediocre CGI, God awful storyline and forgettable acting. Only good thing was the horror, it felt nice to see a former hero turn into a monster. I am afraid to watch Love and Thunder now.",4 """There's more to life than a little money, you know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are, and it's a beautiful day. Well, I just don't understand it."" - Marge Gunderson Pure genius. Those two words are what best describes Coen Brothers' Fargo. I saw this for the first time, and, I'm happy to say, it ranks up there with The Big Lebowski and No Country for Old Men as one of the Coen's best films with its dark and quirky writing, its gorgeous cinematography, a solid performance from much of the cast, and its mixture of black comedy, violence, and satire that only the Coen Brothers can pull off. This dark and quirky story begins with Jerry Lundegaard, a down-on-his-luck car salesman who is hard up for money to finance for his family. So, he hires two crooks to kidnap his wife so he can extort a ransom from his father-in-law. The plan seems to be going well, until one minor incident leads to three roadside murders and the plan slowly starts falling apart. In the center of all this craziness is Marge Gunderson, a pregnant police chief who is investigating the murders and she starts to realize that the murders are connected to Jerry's ill-thought out plan. Despite opening with a disclaimer that this ""based on a true story"", it's not really based on a true story, although it was loosely based on a real life case. But it perfectly sets the tone to the absurdity that is about to unfold. What the Coen Brothers do best is their perfect blend of dark humor, satire, and excessive violence and execute it in a flawless manner. You can't help but to laugh at all of the misfortunes that is happening to the characters, like Carl's short-tempered outbursts when something goes wrong or when Jerry is on the verge of having a nervous breakdown. I must say that I have to give huge props to the cinematography, courtesy of Roger Deakins. It gives it a seemly peaceful feeling of the snowy Minnesota countryside and the music gives it an old time folk feel that just fits perfectly to the setting. One of my favorite shots is that overhead shot of Jerry walking to his car in the snow-covered parking lot. The performances from the film's star-studded cast are all excellent. From William H. Macy as the timid Jerry, to Steve Buscemi as the loud, trash talking Carl Showalter, to even Peter Stormare as the emotionless and mostly mute Gaear Grimsrud. But the best of the cast is Francis McDormand as Marge. She's the only character out of all of them that is pleasant, whereas some of them, mainly the crooks, are crazy. She is seen as having a happy and modest life, has a loving and supporting husband, is witty, and, despite the situation that she's in and her life as a police chief, she still maintains her upbeat and ""Minnesota Nice"" attitude. Overall, Fargo is a genuine classic that manages to rank up to masterpiece-level of quality. Certainly, one of the Coen Brothers' best films. Final Verdict: 10/10 with the Epic Seal of Awesomeness",10 "The only reason I watched the whole of season 1 is that I was really in a mood for a space/sci fi story. If I had found something better on Netflix, I would have. Giving it a 7 - 3 stars for all the visuals, some action sequences and some dramatic moments. 2 stars for some nice actors and their somehow sympathetic characters. 1 star for a few decent scenes and even some good humour. Final start just because it is 6.5 and I want to be nice to it, as I did finish it. One of the laziest plot advancing tools is to make main characters on the same side not sharing vital information they hold. I hate it when I see it, it is dull, hardly believable and a lazy way to advance the plot without solving an issue sooner. And it happens ALL the time throughout the show. No one talks to anyone, and even when they do, they hide parts of the truth or outright lie. The other most annoying aspect of Lost in Space, about which many of the top reviews are talking, is the decision-making of the main characters, particularly the Robinsons. I am not even gonna exaggerate when I say that the majority of the troubles everyone landed it was directly DUE to a Robinson being stupid. Have to highlight Will, his decisions nearly cost lives on a number of occasions (and only because everyone has THICK plot armour, besides one absolutely needless death in the middle of Season 1 and another kinda better-crafted death in Season 2, do his decisions stay nearly causing lives instead of causing them on a regular basis). The boy is a walking wrecking ball, and even when he comes up with a smart plan, it is to fix a mistake...which either he or his family members created in the first place. Short after him is Maureen, Judy not being far behind, and even Penny messes up 2-3 times, without even mentioning her ridiculous romantic plotline that is ALWAYS, whenever it appears, out of place. And what even is with the 3 kids (11, around 16 and 18 at the start of the show) often being the ones who come up with the plans/solutions/actions on behalf of everyone? It is said that the colonists are the best of the best, having passed numerous tests and training, and het somehow it is the 3 kids, who regularly get something wrong or act...like kids to be in charge of the action. Seriously, I admire everyone who wasn't eye-rolling at least twice each episode. Last, but definitely not least, be prepared to REALLY suspend any disbelief. The main characters will be in danger about 5 times an episode (not an exaggeration either), but their thick plot armour would be getting them out every time. There will be instances where they will be seriously injured, but scenes later they will be absolutely fine. There will be instances where the premise of the danger, their actions and the development would leave absolutely no solutions...until something miraculously pops up. This is what I dislike about constantly putting main characters in danger. It does NOT create suspense, not after the first 2-3 times this happens. People only start being bored, asking themselves ""what is it going to be this time, in what way will be this Robinson saved in the last second?"" It creates a sort of emotional fatigue, not excitement, you can't care about them, if you know they are gonna be fine, so better stop putting them in danger all the time for the action, and create some actual story and plot development! This show had plenty potential, some beautiful views, some potentially intriguing characters and sense of humour some nice scenes..but it can be so much better, it's so frustrating! I blame this on lack of effort from the script writers and director. I understand any ratings from 4 to 7, plus maybe 8/10 for the bigger optimists. 9 and 10 are ridiculous and I seriously doubt the people who put them ever watching anything which is higher quality. The ending was also boring and too much of a fan service, ending a TV show that was mostly feel-good but quite lacking in logic and actual plot.",6 I am not a big fan of Bollywood but this movie is a gem. It's so original and realistic. The best thing about the movie is Manoj Bajpaye and Nawaz ud din Siddiqi.,10 "They show everything as it is. My younger sister Karolina is in Sparrow School too. I test her skills every time she is at home. In the organisation, they taught her not to resist. Our president worked for KGB when he was younger. And now my sister does. It's very honourable. I hope she'll bring a handheld phone from the USA for me. Nobody here has those things.",1 "I am disappointed even more than after watching the first installment. I hoped the movie makers learned from their mistakes. I expected an interesting plot about Dumbledore and Grindewald, and yes, I wanted to follow an actual plot! But boy, did I want too much? In recent years it certainly seems so. It is hard to see which from the many plots is the main one. Sure it is named The Crimes of Grindelwald but there is actually very little happening around him. I saw at least 6 story lines which includes the two lovestories, saving the animals, Dumbledore's struggle against ministry, Grindelwald and his vague plan to enlist this Credence guy and Credence's struggle to learn about his past together with Nagini (?). All in all we are presented many characters with many twisted interconnections which are very hard to follow and totally distract from the main and cool stuff, which at least for me was supposed to be the interactions between Dumbledore and Grindelwald and them performing some great magic. I couldn't care less about love stories or shallow sidestories of characters I barely got to know. And although there are so many characters, there is hardly anything substantial happening on the screen. It is all just sidequests combined with jokes kinda leading to an awkward finale (oh yes, Nazis again). Basically nothing of substance happens between Dumbledore and Grindelwald and Grindelwald hardly does any crimes except for trying hard to be Hitler. And at the end you are presented with a bait to watch the next installment, of course. The jokes are much more forced than in the first movie. I had the feeling the movie makers desperately wanted to sell this movie both to children and adults, but there are way too many ""story""lines and characters for children to follow and the tone is not serious enough for adults. They try to make the tone darker but every now and then interrupt it with outta place silly jokes. Not good. Also the references felt like being thrown at us without a thought. Yes they show Hogwarts, but they totally lack the magical atmosphere known from HP. They show Dumbledore teaching, but it is a total rip off of Lupin's lecture. Why do they even try to include McGonagall? Or Nagini? All summed up, this movie is a money grab and unfortunately not an exception in today's movie making full of plotless movies. I read somewhere that there will be 5 Fantastic Beasts films in total. If that is true doesn't matter. A movie this long needs to be good by itself, not just a particle which doesn't make sense on its own. Avoid if you can, and stick to the HP movies.",2 "We all know what happened with SM3 for Raimi, and yet he did the exact same thing again. A rushed product with messed up everything. Can't even believe this came from the great SAM RAIMI. Marvel is actually destroying reputation of well known directors. But I guess as Alfred Molina mentioned, money talks. The only thing good about this movie was the rumors, that was all. But if you want to spend the evening on rainy day, this is the movie. That's all it is good for, a time pass.",4 "This season is much more horrific than the previous ones. The horrific atmosphere is successfully created through the editing and filming technics used this season. The editing is dynamic and gives more rhythms to the episodes. This season is darker and gloomier than the previous ones. The growing danger also coincides with the younger kids leaving childhood to get into teenage years which I find really interesting (even though I don't know if it is on purpose or not.) This seasons also digs in topics that are really well present during each person's teenage lives such as being bullied, being an outcast, distance with childhood friends. It also brushes off topics that we start facing older such as long-distance relationship. The new characters introduced in this forth season are really refreshing, and new dynamics are created between characters such as Robin and Nancy or Dustin and Eddie but also Jonathan and Argyle. Moreover, the existing characters and relationship don't go round in circles, they evolve as any relationship in real life do. Vecna's makeup is amazing as well as the special effects present during this season. The storyline is very well thought and there are no plot holes. This season will answer a lot of question we might have wondered during the previous seasons. This is the beginning of the end as Vecna says in the last episode. The acting is also amazing. And the fact that Jamie Campbell Bower's voice is edited to the bare minimum is really impressive. Also Eddie Munson's performance of Master of Puppets (by Metallica) was amazing (sorry I had to say it) This season ends on amazing cliffhangers despite how sad the last episode is.",9 "It took a couple episodes to hook me but i'm in. This will never be GoT but as a revisit to that world it's very good. For comparison. I watched RoP with an open mind and was just bored. It's such a waste of time. No compelling characters or story, no intrigue. HotD has slowly built to a very interesting set of plots and has developed a set of compelling characters. I look forward to each new episode .(as opposed to RoP which i may never watch again). The production looks great. Not quite GoT level but certainly not ""cheap"" as some have felt. I'll continue watching this. Clearly they have a story to tell. If only the makers of RoP could have done the same.",8 "Sometimes I watch a Film that comes highly recommended - and can find it a little disappointing. '1917' was more than that - it struck me very soon into the Film that, whatever story this was, it was so Fictionalised it bore no semblance to the reality of the Year it was trying to portray. Supposedly the 6th April 1917 two (yes, TWO) British Soldiers are ordered to make their way forward to make contact with a British Unit that is being led into a 'trap' with orders to stop any such assault. I would like to say that there is more to the story than that BUT there isn't. The Film is shot in an apparent 'one continuous take' pseudo-documentary way which occasionally rankles. Make no mistake though, the Cinematography by Roger Deakins FULLY deserves the Oscar it was awarded - it is just that the actual depiction of WW1 and story make no sense whatever. There are real issues - firstly, I never felt that the dialog or the actors were in 'period' being too 21st Century and not Early 20th (for how to do this see 'Gettysburg' where the lines and pace of the actors match the 19th Century). Secondly, the story unfolds across a landscape in which all the elements are there BUT you never get the REAL horror of what it was truly like to fight in this hell-hole. I'm not even going to comment on some of the more absurd aspects. A General in a front-line dugout? Not likely! Save 1600 men from an ambush - by sending TWO? A RAT setting off a booby-trap in a German underground bunker? I could go on but it is pointless. The only 'enemy' to appear are not even stereotypes, just absurd - a German pilot who survives a flaming crash in his Albatros fighter because our two heroes pull him from the flaming wreckage - immediately decides to pull a knife and attack one of them. What?? The other German soldiers also conform to the 'Star Wars Stormtrooper Complex' - where, despite their military reputation, they simply cannot shoot straight. These would be the same troops who, the previous year, caused horrific casualties to the British on The Somme. Overall, this is a very well-made piece of Cinema BUT simply is NOT accurate in it's depiction of the 'Great War' and feel an opportunity has been missed. I even felt that it's award of the Oscar for 'Best Visual Effects' was undeserved as they just weren't good at all (that Oscar should have gone to Alita: Battle Angel). Once again, too many British Film critics were happy to jump on the Mendes bandwagon calling this a 'masterpiece' - it isn't - Kubrick's 'Paths Of Glory' is WAY superior to this....",7 "Tom Hiddleston crushes it as Loki and Owen Wilson is just amazing. I do question the plot and motivations of the characters however. Quite a few of it seems to be there just for the visuals. In episode one Loki is prosecuted for the crime of diverting the time line. He is given no rights, no defense or chance of appeal. In other words the verdict of (GUILTY) is there the minute he stepped out of the line THEY drew and nobody else is even aware exists. The whole court hearing thing is nothing but a sham for the visuals and could have been swapped out for a trigger happy officer with a re-set baton. Loki is an ouroboros of a tale with both the beginning and ending already determent.",6 Masterclass acting from EVERYBODY. Personally I like John Cazales performance as Fredo most. His mental meltdown scene sitting in that crazy chair is probably the best scene in cinematic history. So sad he passed away that early....,10 "The film flopped (in India...has grossed over 15 crores abroad though) and was bashed by critics for one reason...a horrible screenplay and the lack of a flowing story...but the film is still great. First off the soundtrack is the best in Hindi film's of the 90's. Acting is superb by some guy called Shah Rukh Khan, Manisha and Preity Zinta (Preity who?). Santosh Sivan does excellent camerawork as the film has the best cinematography in Hindi cinema history. Even if you don't want to watch the whole film because of the bad things about the film, watch the first 15 minutes of it...the train station scene between Manisha and SRK is marvelous and the Chaiya Chaiya number on the train is breathtaking.",8 "Implausible, cliched, derivative, offensive garbage. It's hard to fathom why so many people appear to think that such rubbish is good film-making. 2 hours 50 minutes of my life I'll never get back.",1 "I congratulate anyone that got further than the first 30 minutes but suspect that it was because they had fallen asleep in front of the TV like my partner did. I actually quite like the leads especially Aniston who I think does light comedy pretty well (Horrible Bosses, We're the Millers etc), but what were they thinking taking part in this train wreck of a boat film ! The script is appalling and completely unfunny and the acting is literally so absurdly bad I have seen better in a school nativity. Shame on all associated with this film for stealing 30 minutes of my life.",1 "I know I'm seemingly a minority in my opinion of the show but I thought nothing about the plot itself made much if any logical sense.. Wednesday's personality wasn't particularly solid. I don't understand why she would care about most things she suddenly cared about.. because it went against her actual morals. Although the scenes were pretty nice to look at most of the time, there was no uniqueness, intrigue or excitement in the story itself.. I personally didn't like any of the characters much which is not the actors fault. Jenna did a great job, as did a few others. It was mostly because of the terrible writing. But also wrong casting. I didn't think any of the other actors of the Addams family fit the characters. But maybe they would have done a better job if the material and directing was actually good. I'll never know though. I just thought it felt like they were play-acting.. not like they actually inhabited the roles. I didn't like how all the male characters were basically portrayed the same. None of them were particularly interesting personality wise. The value of the production made me feel like I was watching Riverdale with a dash of Legacies.. I gave the whole season a fair shot. Although I liked a few scenes.. I was extremely bored and had a rough time getting through the whole thing. Not sure why some people are surprised that something bad has Tim Burtons name on it since he hasn't produced things of quality in a very long time. I say this as someone who used to be a big fan of his work. I really wanted to like this show, but sadly I do not. I know this review is pretty harsh. I was channeling my inner Wednesday Xx.",4 "Marvel have always been doing things which may look different in the start but after sometime story changes and things changes EPISODE 1: building story but boring EPISODE 2: Boring but ""SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENEND IN THE END"" If you call me a fanboy then yes I am but I'm rating it 5 based on first couple of episodes....I know marvel loves giving surprises , hope this show ends well. ""may change the rating after watching upcoming episodes"" EPISODE 5: ""SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF YEARS"",WOW,just WOW...didnt expected anything like this and yes its not what its look like in starting ,its getting interesting with every episode "" Changing rating from 6 to 7 ,expecting a blast in last 4 episodes'hopefully'""",7 I think there is a good story behind this. BUT its too short and to fast. Everything happens to fast. It should be two films to get the story right. I have seen better.,3 "I've never watched the original lost in space series so I've never felt the pang of nostalgia that many people have spoken about. Lost in space is a decent family series with many feel good moments. However, there are many moments in the season that left me frustrated. There's just way too much not going right for the Robinsons and the story line is one of them. If there had been one dramatic event that was leading up to an amazing finale then it would have been satisfying to watch. Instead every episode involves a different life-threatening melodramatic event which is really taxing on the patience of the audience. But if you can live through the agonizingly slow first half of the season then you'll be rewarded with a really good last two episodes and a decent cliffhanger at the end of the season.",5 "Murder Mystery is about this couple that go to Europe for an anniversary vacation. They stumble upon this person and they go on his Yacht for there trip. Some how someone is murdered there on the spot and they need to find out who did it. Murder Mystery is a movie that is trying to be something that it can't. The murder part of the story was interesting. I always enjoy a murder mystery story and also there was a cameo to another murder mystery film at the end if you were able to catch it. There were many bad things though in this movie. The violence was soooo cheesy. Also they were way too many people killed in this movie. It was outrages. Also some of the comedy didn't fit in this movie at all. It was funny but it just didn't add up. There was also a really long car chase at the end which felt like it wouldn't stop at all. Overall, this is no the best Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston movie. If you really want to watch one I would recommend Just Go With It.",5 "Superb cast makes this a must see movie. Daniel Craig put out and amazing performance both goofy and charming, he acts well to glue the whole thing together. It's ok written, nicely shot and edited. Performances ok throughout. The movie has two parts, one where you go ""ohh I see where this is going"" and then takes another hour to get exactly there. This, for a mistery acts as no mistery at all and leaves you wishing for a different twist or...at least a turn, a small one that wouldn't be so ""so, they said this is where it was leading one hour ago, and this is where they led...ok"". Good movie nonetheless. Could have been 30m shorter, wouldn't make a difference. 7/10.",7 """Spider-man 2"" is a much more serious movie than the original. This may catch fans of the first movie by surprise. Gone is the lightheartedness of nerdy Peter Parker's life (there may an odd scene here), gone is the sweet puppy love between Parker and MJ (here it's full on heart breaking, soul searching love)and gone is the joy of discovery of powers and responsibility (here it's about finding the right balance). For about the first 90 minutes of THIS movie Peter Parker can't catch a break. He loses (among other things) his faith, his ideals, and his reason for putting on the costume. The action is also very paced out in the movie, with the three major action scenes coming in the second half. There are interludes of speech which are deftly written, but makes the viewer pine for the movie to kick into high gear. When it does though, oh boy (!) does it deliver - the piece de resistance being a train sequence that puts movies like 'Speed' to shame. Each one of the action sequences are masterful, and it is evident where the money has been spent in this movie. Watching Spidey swing through NYC is sheer exuberance. Yet the brilliance lies in the depth of this movie, what some may believe is boring exposition, but don't be fooled. Raimi and co. have crafted a wonderful movie here. I just felt it could have been 10 minutes shorter. True to form, the movie ends on a spectacularly high note while setting up the sequel.",8 "First thing,this is an extremely well made show and Hannibal is played to perfection. The problem with it is,and this is true for a couple of shows at the time,the FBI comes across like morons where as the bad guy comes across as brilliant. If Will had to be written as well in the show as in the books this would have been as great as everybody says it is.",7 "This Movie is a standard film, not good, not bad. What the hell makes the movie in the top 250/100. There are films behind it that are much better / more relevant and have decisively shaped the film. For example, 2001 a Space Odyssey or Ben Hur.",7 "I got free tickets for a preview and to be honest I was more than a little embarrassed to go. I did not tell a soul. As a cool middle aged gentleman if word got out this could have really affected my street cred. Anyway, I embraced the journey and I'm glad that I did. Here is my review written as a pretentious critic that I aspire to be in my next life: In Greta Gerwig's latest directorial venture, ""Barbie,"" the esteemed filmmaker takes on the monumental task of unravelling the enigma that is Barbie, the iconic doll that has fascinated and polarized society for decades. With Margot Robbie as the eponymous character and Ryan Gosling as Ken, Gerwig's live-action rendition delves into the complex world of Barbie, attempting to extract deeper meaning from this cultural phenomenon. Gerwig masterfully navigates the treacherous waters of branded material, infusing the narrative with a blend of adventure, comedy, fantasy, and romance. The result is a thought-provoking exploration of Barbie's role as a feminist symbol, challenging societal perceptions of femininity and girlhood. Can a doll with impossibly perfect features and a smile of perpetual happiness truly embody feminist ideals? Gerwig compels the audience to contemplate this question, weaving it throughout the fabric of the film. In reality Margot Robbie dominated the film as expected and has developed into a true cinematic icon. The flm was fun and far above my expectations hence I'm giving it an 8 and boasting I watched Barbie.",8 "Unfortunately after pretty good ""Creation"" third part is really disappointing :( Everything is predictable and boring. Only the birthday party scene was worth to watch... ;)",3 "Boring, noisy, implausible, predictable. more than half the movie is CGI. Would replace the entire IMF team starting with Tom Cruise, extremely used up, worn out, nothing exciting or inspiring. note 1 stars (because there isn't a minus number?) Please get rid of Benji! I want my 3 wasted hours and money back",1 "This is an ok series. It has a Scandinavian feel to it. I wouldn't be surprised if it is yet another US rip-off. Winslet is excellent as are the supporting cast. The plot is thinly contrived however with lots of twists. None very clever. Definitely will speak to a female audience more than make given its family drama backstory. More family drama than murder mystery to be honest. An ok watch tho.",6 "This show was really boring, they tried to salvage it by bringing big stars in some episodes. If you are looking for something to make you fall asleep fast, this is the answer.",5 "I was captived from the beginning. The characters and story developed quickly, but with depth. As a viewer you're completely drawn into the magic, love, and intrique. It's a grown series filled with mystery and magic; the best part is not one comic book superhero in any episode.",10 "Dissapointing. The main charactors are very nerdish/uncoo/unfunny. Its very hard to watch them, as they are all immature zeta nerds. In other words, they suck, and are stupid.",4 "I've recently lost interest in comic book films and this series a perfect example of why. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has such an unrealistic plot and hollow characters. But the nail in the coffin is the pacing or the lack of. Nobody watches these films for politics or to watch someone struggle with his income, if we wanted that, there are plenty of great dramas out there. And if you want to make it about politics then you've got to have compentet writers to back it, The Winter Soldier(2014) was Marvel's best film, because it didn't rely on flashy effects and an estabilished universe, it wanted to set itself apart from it's peers and that why it's the film that I respect most in the MCU. Even the actors look bored in some scenes, can't say I blame them. The visual effects are the only departmant where this series doesn't fail but I'll take a good story with bad effects any day of the week. Story: 2/10 Characters: 3/10 Visuals: 7/10 Pacing: 3/10 Overall: 4/10.",4 "'Terror in Resonance' is like one of those mature Hollywood series critics love to gush about, only in anime form. The story is centred around two adolescents and their introcate plot of terrorism, the detective trying to stop them, and an innocent girl who accidentally gets involved. What begins as a cat-and-mouse game ends with two national conspiracies that are slowly revealed. The star of the series is not only the plot but also its characters, whom are at best morally ambiguous yet still sympathetic and even likeable. 'Terror in Resonance' forces no moral justifications but lets its audience come to their own conclusions. The excellent plot and fantastic characters are supported by an immensely high production value. Not only is the art style of a rarely seen quality and the soundtrack subtle yet beautiful, but the direction is utterly flawless. There are a few excellent anime thrillers out there -- most recently, 'Summer Time Rendering' comes to mind -- but 'Terror in Resonance' sets itself miles apart. The realistic story combined with the gorgeous visuals -- and an utter lack of both fanservice and anime-typical silliness -- makes 'Terror in Resonance' the one anime that I can wholeheartedly recommend to any and every viewer. Rarely have I seen something filled with this much suspense yet so densely narrated.",9 Pretty cool show .. more seasons will only make it a legit contender to other anime series.. i see this being up there with Dragonball z ! the characters are uniqe and the show is just authentic and original .. animation is dope too! 9/10 not perfect but close to it! would definitely recommend to people who watch or dont watch anime because its just entertaining all around .,9 "The high ratings for this show continue to surprise me a year later. Terrible, plagiarized tripe, from two brothers who would make the Chuckle Brothers look like the Coppola's. It just kept getting worse and worse - silly acting, predictable story- line plagiarised from countless 80's classics and dumbed-down to the extent where it became laughable. Truly sickening to see this utter tripe lauded by so many. I shall not be watching the second season of this garbage.",1 "We can reduce this series to a single sentence: ""technology seriously harms you and others around you"". Ohmygod, when I read some comments like ""a thought-provoking series"" I can't help but laugh. Or throw up (which happened to me while watching first episode, Incredibly grotesque and disgusting). There's no new thought that has not already been addressed in the last decades in this stuff. We can count on the fingers of one hand the episodes that they have something interesting to tell us. Most of them are ridiculous and stupid. I don't understand the very high score and comments ridiculously complimentary. Series for the simple-minded.",2 "Ashutosh Gowarikar has done it again! Being an NRI, I can relate to SRK's yearning to live in India. Very subtle images are used to communicate extremely powerful messages. For example, Shahrukh is traveling in crowded buses and second-class non-air-conditioned trains in India. In the US, he is riding in his spacious, luxury Jaguar with Cherry wood panels. However, all SRK feels in those cold leather seats is loneliness as he imagines seeing his love waving goodbye to him in the rear-view mirror. Thus, he can attain all the material wealth being a top-notch engineer working for NASA in the glitzy and glamorous US, but he can never be happy away from his homeland and loved ones. A.R. Rehman has composed outstanding music--I think one of the best of 2004. This movie has several, beautiful tear-jerking scenes. The only part of the movie that isn't that great is that it is stretched out and quite long in the middle where SRK is putting his engineering skills to work, but other than that, this is a great movie.",8 I feel that this episode is constructing the world and setting up the plot for the whole series. People who reviewed lower than a 5 don't know how you build a story. It is displaying the conflicts that both characters are going to be facing during the series run. One episode will not answer all the questions. Keep watching and don't shun it because it leaves you hanging. Acting is ok. Story is being built well. And the major conflicts of the story is builing at a tiny slice. Will be watching for sure,7 "The movie always makes me cry. Clearly, the best work by SRK and deserved to win an Oscar. Beautiful story writing and screenplay.",10 "Though having less number of episodes this anime doesn't disappoint, this keeps you involved The ending though is a bit emotional but is satisfactory In my opinion ZNT was a great show overall",9 Never watch the old one but this one is great ! Recommend it to all.,9 "Dungeons & Dragons, Eggo Waffles, Winona Ryder in Mom Jeans, Super Powers, and More in Netflix's 'Stranger Things'! 'Stranger Things' Season 1 is The Hit Show of The Summer! What can I say about Netflix's hit original series Stranger Things that hasn't already been said? I know I am a little late to the party. But, Stranger Things is one of the best Netflix original series you should definitely be watching! If you were a child of the 1980s, or if you simply are a fan of the films of the 1980s, Netflix's new series Stranger Things will satisfy you, entertaining you, creep you out, and overall it's a blast! This thrilling Netflix original stars award-winning actress Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands) as Joyce Byers, who lives in a small Indiana town with her older son in 1983. When Joyce's 12-year-old son, Will, played by Noah Schnapp (Bridge of Spies) goes missing, she launches an investigation with the local police chief Jim Hooper, played by David Harbour (The Equalizer, A Walk Among the Tombstones) into his disappearance. As they search for answers, they unravel a series of extraordinary mysteries involving secret government experiments, and unnerving supernatural forces. Meanwhile, Will's three friends are also determined to find him when they find a scared girl, played by Millie Brown (2014s Intruders television show) who calls herself Eleven (after the numeric tattoo on her arm) and possesses supernatural abilities. Okay for starters, let's talk about the characters. You care what happens to ALL the characters in Stranger Things, because they're written authentically and they're cast exceptionally, especially when it comes to the kids. The kids come off as real kids, and what real kids would do in these types of situations. Brown, makes Eleven scary, sad, funny and sweet, especially in scenes shared with the other kids. I believe she is the breakout star in this series. Gaten Matarazzo's Dustin, may be short on teeth but long on hilarious dialogue, and grew on me with each episode. As did Ryder, the chief of police, the kids, and all the characters. You want to see these characters proved right, you want them to seek justice, and you want the underdogs to win. Every character is so well written and rounded, that I found myself emotionally connecting to every single character. From the moment Stranger Things begins, you can feel the influences that have guided series creators Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer (Wayward Pines). The film is flooded with '80s nostalgia. To me, this feels like a Stephen King book. That have would have become a movie, directed by Steven Spielberg or John Carpenter (or both!). Obviously, the risk is that this could all just feel like a tribute that's fun, but with no real identify of its own. However, Stranger Things manages to create a compelling world of its own, centered on a group of very relatable, likable characters, an interesting story, and entertaining. Style over Substance? Even though this series takes place in the '80s, it takes more place in the movies of the 80s. Meaning, this ""real"" world that we're watching feels more like a '80s film we would have watched. One small complaint I have is the story could have been just a little bit more original. It's cool the show has all these cool little Easter eggs to the '80s. However, some of the things that happen in the series, you will know it from other iconic '80s films. Such as, films like E.T. The Goonies, and Carrie. T his show isn't just for fans of the '80s and people who grew up in that era. I feel like this is a series everyone can enjoy. Even though I am curious to what today's youth audience would think of this film. Would they enjoy and respect the series like some of the older viewers? So these are my final Bitchin' Buddha thoughts on Netflix's original series Stranger Things season one. It's an interesting blend of horror, comedy, drama, science fiction, nostalgia, and I believe this series is extremely well done. It is something you can watch alone, by yourself, over again, and there is something here for everyone. I believe Stanger Things season one earns a… 9/10! And just like a Christmas present I'm gonna wrap this up. Until next time, this review is brought to you by Boogie Buddha, and remember, don't just get down, but get Boogie. Thank you all for reading and or viewing, and I hope you all have an amazing day as always. Peace out. :)",9 For me one the best mystery/sci-fi-series of all time and top 3 between Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones for me. Season 4 the best season so far.. love the whole cast and story!,9 "Apparently, ""Glass Onion"" is a famous song by The Beatles directed towards fans who dig way too deep into the layers/meanings of their songs because sometimes, there's nothing deep about it and it's all transparent. This, one of the most highly anticipated films of this year, dropped online a couple days ago. Needless to say, being a fan of mystery content, I'm jumped on it. Whodunnits are good, but this sub-genre has become one with which you can only change so many things. The risk of that, is every whodunnit feels the same or they fail because the story tried too hard. Enter Glass Onion. I totally enjoyed watching this film. After an initial watch, I was like ""This is, good. Nothing to complain about but nothing to rave about either."" But the more I read up about it, the more mindblowing I found the writing to be. Social commentary (and how it's written) relevant to 2022 in a whodunnit murder mystery, who'd have thought! But they've pulled it off, without compromising on the mystery, without mockery and without getting too preachy. Wonderful acting by everybody involved, well shot and edited. A couple characters were not as well established, but I'm nitpicking at this point. I don't think you'll necessarily find it to be an intense investigative thriller, but good lord, when they break it down, you're like, ""Of course! Why didn't I see it, it was right in front of me. 😐"" - and hence, the name, ""Glass Onion"". No complications, it's all transparent. So, if you're eagle-eyed and catch things, you can figure out where the story is going. If not, even better. It's enjoyable nevertheless. Watch the film and read up on what you missed/others have taken away, because trust me, this will make you appreciate the writing so much more.",8 "The CLAW here, bringing you another, should you see it in theaters, or wait for the DVD. Here we go: Captain America: Civil War, and what a civil was it was! Winter Solider so far has been my favorite superhero movie, sorry DC fans, and this one ups it even more. This movie executes on absolutely every single level. The action is amazing. The Russo brothers do a great job of using practical effects, and it definitely shows. The fight and action scenes look more realistic than any other superhero movie. The story, once again changed the MCU forever. Who side are you one? I'm Hail Hydra(and so is Captain America, apparently). Some people are calling this, Avengers 3, since so many characters are in it, which is true, but at its heart and soul this movie is about Captain America and Tony Stark. The other characters are just pawns in the showdown. Some chose to be over watched by a governing committee that will now doubt become corrupt, and some choose the side of continuing being a non governmental entity. What caught me in this movie was in my opinion the best villain to date. He was cool, subtle, and had a layer of loss and revenge. He wasn't out about world domination, but rather to destroy the Avengers world, which was a nice change of pace. I am going to end my review here. Why? Because do you really need that much convincing or insight to go see this movie, absolutely not. This is one of the best movies this year, and by far the best Marvel Movie. So stop reading this, and go WATCH IT NOW!!! Recommendation: See in Theaters!",10 "'Amsterdam'- this movie is billed as a comedy drama, however there are few laughs to be found. Director David O. Russell has an A list cast but his script is confusing and scattered. Based on true events two American soldiers (Christian Bale and John David Washington) bond with each other while stationed overseas. After both become injured they are treated by a quirky nurse (Margot Kidder) who falls for Washington's character. The nurse convinces the soldiers they should go to Amsterdam for fun and adventures. Once there they make contact with two men (Micheal Shannon and Mike Myers) who help them with their 'adventures' with a caveat: one day they will come calling for their help. This buddy movie goes off the rails after that. I wouldn't going into any more details other than to say the 2 veterans become accused of a murder of someone they knew and eventually involves the nurse to help get evidence of their innocence. I think the director would have been better off by cutting this movie down by 30-40 minutes (it's 2 hours and 14 minutes long) and leaving out some of the fluff not central to the story. The 3 main stars are good in their roles (finally saw a film in which Washington was actually good in) and there are many more stars in this film (Chris Rock, Timothy Olyphant, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rami Malek, Robert de Niro, Taylor Swift, Ed Begley Jr.) which makes this one bloated affair. This also could have been a two movie arc... The first movie about how they met and the second about the murder and their adventures after being accused. The director stuffed everything into a meandering mess that started with the potential for great entertainment yet ended up with a 2.25 hour box office dud (looks like it will lose over $100 million dollars). I nearly fell asleep in the last 50 minutes of the movie and I actually liked the ending. When this movie comes to streaming I'll pause it after 90 minutes and then watch the rest of it another day to see if my opinion about it should have been a two parter rings true for me.",1 It is a great movie if you watch it with a blindfold.,1 "The movie was in most parts interesting and good written. Jennifer Lawrence is great in the role. She nails everything. The movie was good, but it wasn't something mind-blowing.",6 "He did not like the movie .The detective movies I do not like this movie is action, when release would be a star film, but now spent over twenty years I do not think the movie occupies the first ranking of films, because from my point of view, there movies that have been better than this.He did not like the movie .The detective movies I do not like this movie is action, when release would be a star film, but now spent over twenty years I do not think the movie occupies the first ranking of films, because from my point of view, there movies that have been better than this.He did not like the movie .The detective movies I do not like this movie is action, when release would be a star film, but now spent over twenty years I do not think the movie occupies the first ranking of films, because from my point of view, there movies that have been better than this.",4 "This series is great! In terms of plot and story the apocalypse part might seem generic, but it's about 7 siblings who were born on the same day with special powers. They were adopted by their father Reginald who dies (in the 1st episode) so the siblings could get back together. Some of the characters have great character development in this show. I found some characters annoying in the beginning who I began to like later on in the show. There's a ton of time traveling in this show, you might not like this show if you don't like time traveling that much. There is quite a few flaws and things that are hard to understand but regardless of that it's still well written, and worth the watch.",7 "I have watched movies and tv all my life also love computer games. Born in the 70s so I have seen a lot good and bad. To be honest it also has to be really bad for me not to like something - I am always looking for the good things. I love the Witcher - I loved season 1 and I am loving season 2. I did not play the game that much and I am not a real fantasy critic ... I love it because I want to watch, I look forward to the next episode and there are so many cool things going on with action etc. Just thank you for making quality tv like this for people like me who have been working from home during a pandemic for nearly two years - escapism is needed and this is pure escapism.",8 "Mainly because they're trying to pass Geralt as some badass rock star. His character resembles more Jax from sons of anarchy than that of Geralt of Rivia i've read about. Cavil makes a good effort, but that's about it. I wasn't really expecting much, probably still a better show than I was hoping for, still could have been a lot better. I also don't get the whole comparison thing between this show and GOT, apart from the fact that both fall under the genre of Fantasy they're totally different things. This show looks really ""cheap"" compared even to the first season of GOT.",6 "The title I give can seem provocative, but this series really annoyed me. I will admit that I didn't watch all of it - dear god, after a few episodes, the idea of watching the whole thing seemed like torture. Yes this series is filmed with a decent quality and will look quite nice. it's ""edible"" to the eye. no critique on that part. The actors weren't the greatest, but then, none that I saw was horribly bad either. No critique to the directors either. Major critique to the script writers. the people writing this series went to a ""creative writing"" program, came out with a fancy degree, but have never creatively written in their lives. take an online creative writing course, and after a few classes you will understand exactly what I mean. It's always the same guidelines - create a character with flaws, but with a strong will to achieve a desire. make their desire clear, and obvious. Then, find obstacles. since this series is supposed to be ""disturbing"", of course the obstacles has the better of them. There would be too many examples for me to give here, but again with the script writing, there are major plot holes everywhere. Some of them are so undeniably obvious that even some of my friends who enjoy this show, admitted, despite all their will to defend it, that what I pointed out was indeed huge inexplicable plot holes. Finally I see neither what is really disturbing nor what is really interesting. That the show tries to have situations that are realistic yet futuristic compared to society as we know it, I get, but there are so many things where I just don't really grasp the major difference in comparison to our current social or political situations, that it just ends up being contemporary society with a bunch of gadgets, which end up in the same results. I mean that those gadgets don't really make an impact that changes much, compared to our current society. It's not social science fiction as it tries to be - it's social drama that they tried to make into science fiction. This show isn't more disturbing than the world as it stands now. Is it awakening people? I don't really think so, as most people will just see it as ""bleak""-ish science fiction. I recommend reading the review on here that also says that it's essentially a high budget rip-off of the twilight zone. Bad script writing renders black mirror an uninteresting bore, and no amount of fancy visuals can make up for all the clichés, lack of imagination, and mechanical, industrial story lines.",1 It is the movie....which won't let you go back from your seat.....a very good gripping thriller in modern Tamil cinema....it is a must watch if you liked Vikram vedha....Dhuruvangala pathinaru.......no no....aduku mele(more than that)...enjoy........,10 Storyline is poor it jumps from scene to scene without much relevance. 90% of the film is them getting chased in a car that seems to be invincible.,1 "Actually speaking,this movie was quite different from the rest of the MI series in the way that it lacked a storyline and almost zero humour and no depth in the characters in the plot. It was like a action parade with tom cruise with no good story and it felt dull and monotonous and uninteresting right from the start till the end. I hope the next MI movie has a good engaging plot (if its planned).",5 "OK, it's over for now, the season started with potential but then slowly declined into surrealistic rubbish. To me the only reason to have kept watching was because I started and hoped things might improve. Hannibal became boring, the end was absurd and still boring, I actually watched the timer on how many minutes were left and just wanted it over. Maybe the book had a better storyline and plot but this to me just didn't work after 5 episodes. Dexter it wasn't, ended up not caring about any of the characters although the pigs were cool. Please just give up on this rubbish and give us something great like Breaking Bad or Hell on Wheels. Sorry but Hannibal made me want to run to a shrink and find out why I would waste so much time on this series.",5 "For me this is the most pointless movie I've ever watched. I really don't understand where all this hype came from. My expectations were not that high considering the type of movie, but sill I waa not prepared for this -> which is the reason why I leave my first review in IMDB. For me this movie is just milking the Barbie brand. Great cast though! The sets, the costumes, the colours - these was perfect. And the actors play so well that you actually cringe while watching :) So, should you watch it? Haha no. Don't waste your time and money, spend some time with your friends instead and buy them a drink :)",3 "From the desk of Warner Brothers Marketing department: Please note that the release of the new Batman movie we just completed already has plenty of fanfare behind it. Sadly, one of the actors can no longer partake in the new photo shoots and ads. Our job will be to catapult it above any other movie, and we have a plan for this, but first, let's discuss some things about the movie. I know not all of you have seen the movie in it's completion because, frankly, it's a mess. The editing department couldn't make heads or tails out of half the scenes before we had to involve the director to see what in the world was going on in his mind. So here it is in a nutshell: We all think it turned out to be an good action movie. It's story was fairly well constructed, with more going then just a simple superhero against the bad guy movie. Being better than 'Begins', you didn't have to go through the origins of Bruce Wayne, & instead focus on the meat of the story. And we like Aaron Eckhart who plays Harvey. It all sounds great, but that's where the great ends. See, the movie just had to cluster another bad guy, Two-Face, into the movie an hour and 45 into it. It made for a tremendously long movie. In a movie like, say X-men, it's good to be long, since each character can share some interesting interaction for screen time. A movie like Batman should never clock more then 2 hours, yet at 152 minutes, Dark Knight over-stretches it's welcome. Scenes that just went on and on with conversations. Even during the movie, we knew editing could have been better, and some speeches between the characters were either redundant or overdone. The story even dwindles with the Joker, teasing us with past issues that could have been real but perhaps aren't. When Alfred said ""some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."", he described Joker pretty well, and it was one of the best quotes in the movie. But the purpose of a good movie that has good vs. evil is that the bad guy has more depth then the good guy, in some cases, we fall in love with the bad guy and can almost seem to go along with him, if not his actions, then the ends to his means. Or perhaps the fallacies that we see in all of us, as scary as it seems to see that deep into ourselves how the 'evil' in some movies reflect that mean spirit in some of us represented with a social comment, like media or government. You can even compare a movie like V for Vendetta and you can begin to see what we mean. Batman may be the ultimate representation of a good guy with an 'attitude' that goes after criminals that seemingly have no agenda but to be out of their minds. He was grown and started as a creature during the depression, as a shining light against the evil corporations and government. We see it in the comic books. Dark Knight, however, will be a raging success, not because it makes a social commentary or deep character study, but because the general public eats up popular figures with action scenes that doesn't have to make us think, only try to fill in our desires of revenge with interesting technological gadgets. Here are some better movies: Better action: Matrix, Wanted, cheesy 80's sci fi movies, like Terminator Better story lines: Sin City, V for Vendetta, Seven Samurai Better Superheros with Attitudes: Wolverine, Hellboy, Conan, Lobo And of course, Better bad guys: Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader, Anton Chigurh (from No Country For Old Men), hell we even like Kaiser Soze- Any of the above bad guys can have an entire book based on them. I can write a description of the Joker in one small paragraph. Another problem may be that Warner Brothers has put all their eggs into Batman, Superman notwithstanding. Marvel comics now owns the rights to superheroes on the screen, together with Iron Man, Hulk, & the upcoming Thor and Captain America. They have a vision for the big picture for the future of ""The Avengers"" in 2011 (?) That's a crap-load of heroes but if they play the cards easy, & it shouldn't be too hard, they will have a winning formula for future projects involving even more comic book heroes. But whereas Marvel was busy creating a production company to make business with many of the characters in the Marvel Universe, we.. well.. Anyway, what we need you all to do... every single one of you, from the cameramen to the gaffer, is to sign up on places like IMDb and other movie sites, and give Batman a 10. Write up a review that shows none of the above, make sure you plug for emotional effect with the passing of our fine fellow actor, & make it seem like he deserves an Oscar. -WBMD PS: After the write ups and ratings boosts are done, come back to the premiere party next week for biscuits and coke!",5 "This is a good spy movie, but more of a dark one instead of the action packed one I'd hoped for. The story was okay, and the ending was good, but it was a slow burn. Jennifer's accent suffered at some points, but otherwise it was well done, but could have been better. Worth a watch if you like the tv show The Americans.",6 "I do like a hysteric story about people going crazy, but it must have SOME ring of truth to it. This story has NONE. It's really completely ridiculous. Director Susan Bier is known for great European drama movies. Really great. But she now, for unknown reasons, suddenly decided to go and direct an American action horror movie. European drama director and American horror movies are a bad mix, resulting in an irritating dud. Any good? Well the actors are great. But they have to act in a silly story, which they cant save. Some of the action is ok. The feeling of panic is okay-ish, werent it (again!) for the ridiculous story and the TOTAL lack of any credibility. 3 stars, just for the decent actors and some nice action stunts.",3 "Way too much use of imagery, terribly written and even more terribly acted, yes even Mikkelsen. Don't bother with it.",3 "Three words come to mind when reviewing Logan; nihilistic, violent and depressing. There's really not a lot to like here. This is a film about a nihilistic lead character and the ugly violent events, that seem to envelop his life like a dark, perpetual gloom. Indeed, what most defines this film is endless, bloody violence. So much so that the simple story of redemption that's supposed to lift the viewer up is obscured and for the most part, silenced. What you are left with, is a rather depressing film, that, sucked dry of any real sense of hope, staggers towards its inevitable demise. Four out of ten from me.",4 "It's a good enough film, but there are too many jokes and not enough seriousness.",3 "Episode 1 (""Filmed before a live studio audience"") (6.5/10) Episode 2 (""Don't touch that dial"") (7/10) Episode 3 (""Now in colour"") (7.5/10) Episode 4 (""We interrupt this program"") (8/10) Episode 5 (""On a very special episode"") (7/10) Episode 6 (""All-new Halloween spooktacular!"")

The language in the first five minutes was enough for us to turn it off. Too bad because we have some chess players in our family. Really wanted to give it a go, but cannot. Make some clean shows already!!!!!",2 While visually it is well made it is the most boring sleeper I've ever seen!,4 "Death Note is one of those ""Definitely Should Watch"" anime that my friends kept talking about. The animation is well-crafted and due to the gloomy plot, uses a dark tone of colors frequently to bring more weight and despair to the scenes. The soundtrack in crucial moments rises bringing magnitude to the scene, making it far more surprising and mesmerizing. After seeing it, I'm impressed how good it is. The story premise is already intriguing as it creates a dilemma of how far would you go to make the world a better place as well the sense of justice assigned to what you do to reach this superior world. The entire anime develops, with some rare bumps, an engaging and exciting story, it gives a great emphasis on symbolism. Death Note could be divided, since, in a point, it's added new characters and the story suffers big and relevant changes. Due to the main characters be persons with a extremely high intelligence and the constant chase between them, the plot twists are very constant. The link of Light Yagami and L, their conversations, their nonstop distrust in each other are the most interesting aspect from the anime as we never know what going to happen.",9 "Although I liked the cinematography and the characters, I found it rather boring and not in the least funny. Don't get me wrong, the writing is good, the acting is good, I just did not connect with this movie at all.",6 "Lf you go to the sequel route of showing that happened to the Corleone family after the events of the first movie, while the second is a prequel revealing how Vito Corleone became the mafia boss he ended up as. I felt this whole sequence was slightly unnecessary. From the material given, the viewer can already guess how the De Niro character rose through the ranks and the events we witness feel a little bit superfluous. Sure, the pair of assassination scenes are excellent, but the rest just feels obvious and expected. Meanwhile, the Pacino narrative also has its problems, although cast and director aren't at fault; Coppola reunites many of his principals here and to excellent effect. However, there isn't nearly as much incident in the narrative and the whole story feels a little dragged out, a little over-emphasised. In the first film, the Pacino character had three or four major plot points to deal with, whereas this time the events are limited; for example, the entire film focuses on the situation with Roth, whereas in THE GODFATHER that would have just taken up half an hour or so.",9 "I think to many people tuned into this expecting a deep story and serious movie. It's just stupid fun, over the top action, good effects and set pieces. There is a few bits that could just be completely cut from the movie, these sections just want to give you a story as to why the main characters are doing what they are doing and they drag on little. There are other bits that do carry the film in more serious light sometimes which are quite unexpected due to its goofy nature. For the action, effects, laughs and few serious scenes I give it a 7.",7 "I like the overall feeling of the movie. It was created so beautifully and with such care and creativity and love for the Barbie universe It was also so silly and fun. But it was alot and honstly a bit too long. It was saying alot of what felt like important things but somehow it felt flat. Maybe i just like a movie that just is a movie. Though it is so understandalbe that in that Barbie universe they like to explore and acknowledge those huge subjects such as gender equality. In that veiw the small problem i have is they may have tried to hard and the story got lost a bit. In the light of all that Someway somehow it becomes though fun a bit of an forgettable experience. Ps. Tiny Spolier: What about the kens. There story made me feel Abit sad and I wanted a happier ending for them.",6 That's all I have to say. I had to force myself to get through this show. It's so boring and has no impact on the MCU whatsoever. 10/10 would not recommend.,1 "You are looking for gun fight action movie ,just go for it.",7 "Any review (for anything) that starts with comments like: ""this show is bad"" ""the acting is bad"", ""the writing is bad"", etc... is generally worthless. Even if accurate! In this case? Many reviews seem to be competition for who can say the most generic phrases without actually doing any analysis at all. It is frustrating. So a lot of opinionated people don't like this show? OK... but this is a show one needs to watch for oneself. I strongly recommend not coming at Lost in Space with expectation or desired outcomes. Another reviewer asked, ""What do these people actually want?"" A great question! Because after one episode, season one, and people are already convinced they know what this show is all about? A frustrating, useless approach to a review. Star Trek: The Next Generation had a rough first season outside of maybe 3 episodes (including the premier, that isn't that great) - It goes on to become one the all time greatest, and most popular science fiction TV shows all time, and is the reason that DS9 and Voyager exist. How about we pump the breaks a little bit, give this show and it's characters a chance to develop before such certain claims at its futility? I like this show so far - through three episodes. Lost in Space is built on entertainment. What does that mean? It starts with top shelf production, solid cast, and the opening of a long adventure in a new frontier. A lot of questions are asked, which will (I assume) be answered in future episodes. The Robinson's - both main characters and family are the focus of this show. Scientist mom, career military dad and smart kids. They all need to be at their best in dire circumstances (space exploration gone horribly wrong), and face their own weaknesses in doing so. The episodes are long! Almost an hour apiece, there is a lot of content. Through flashbacks and parallel action the viewer learns about the Robinson's, their journey, the fate of Earth, and side characters that (I assume) will all meet up in the future. The first episode is all about facing the impossible - or at least facing down challenges in which the odds are heavily stacked against the Robinson's. Up against such conditions, how does one survive? Intelligence, luck, miracle? Really, Lost in Space is very strait forward in terms of how the story is presented. I will admit that at times I wanted the characters or story to just get on with it, as opposed to obvious attempts at building suspense. But ultimately, I was still fascinated with the families fate, and really routed for them to succeed. This means I must be somewhat invested in the characters! That is a very good thing. Will, the youngest child, is especially interesting. He's a very nice mix of actor and performance - and may really be the best character in this show. I think this is tactical, and his casting was probably carefully scrutinized. I read a review or two about the unlikable nature of the cast - and I flat disagree. These characters will develop with the story, and I'm sure that the play of fairness, entitlement and dashed hopes will be fully explored. For a first season, I feel Lost in Space is off to a fine start and I'm excited to watch through these episodes. Regardless of all these IMDb experts, I feel this show will be a fine addition to the Netflix library. It will get a lot views. If I were 12-15 years old, I'd probably love this show - so perhaps all these mediaphile adults need to watch some Breaking Bad reruns or keep waiting for Game of Thrones to come back on, because the plethora of meaningless bad reviews? Shows a lot of expectation and desire to watch something else. Not me! I'm entertained! 8/10 in the early going.",8 "David O. Russell's 'Silver Linings Playbook' is ultimately a disappointing film: an unconvincing portrayal of mental illness and family dysfunction, with a weak romantic comedy subplot and an utterly meaningless second subplot featuring a dance competition. The central characters are not particularly sympathetic either: if they don't convince as mentally ill, they do convince as utterly self-obsessed - the attraction that the two leads supposedly feel for each other is asserted but in no way demonstrated. It's unclear what Russell was trying to do in this movie; but it's not funny, and nothing in it feels like it comes from the heart.",5 "This would count as the greatest work by VV Chopra so far. He didn't make a 3 hour long movie to justify the theme. Music was serene and everyone did their best. Saif Ali khan has matured as an actor over the years, which we've seen in Dil Chahta Hai, Kal Ho Na Ho and now in Parineeta. I'm not sure how much he really stuck to the original novel, since I haven't read it. The new-comer Vidya Balan has done an outstanding job with her facial expressions. I really liked her part. I'd never seen Raima Sen before, but she seemed to have provided a good supporting role. Sanjay Dutt was good in his own part. Overall, the movie was of an apt length with good music and some good tearjerking moments. 10/10",6 "I read the book, found it boring, but enjoyed all the 80s pop culture references. Movie focuses on the main characters of the story, tries to cut down on all the pop culture references, and focuses on having pretty cgi. Only problem with all that is the only thing unique about the novel was the pop culture references and total worship of everything 80s. Without that geekiness front and center this film is a soulless, childish and totally forgettable flick that honestly has nothing to offer. Or to put it another way, it's pretty damn boring to watch.",3 "Would be a definite favorite of those who like high-fantasy movies. The movie is very hilarious (being a parody) and action packed. The stunts go beyond our imagination... can you ever imagine someone using a Buddha's Palm as a deadly weapon? Sequences like these would be liked by many ""wushu"" lovers..Fun is when we see the most ordinary of the people turning out to be real kung-fu masters... The story is about a wannabe kung-fu maestro who uses up his pocket money (saved to become a lawyer) to purchase a kung-fu book from a street vendor. He puts in a sincere effort to learn the technique from the book but is unable to learn the art. His hardships as a child makes him lose faith in being a good citizen and so he wants to become Bad. He tries to join the Axe-Gang which is the most notorious gang in that locality. In order to impress the leader of the gang, he is asked to secure a kung-fu master called ""Beast"" from the prison. Beast is being brought by the Axe-Gang, as they fail to destroy the people in a particular housing-complex who insult the gang. The land-lady of the complex and her husband are also kung-fu masters but we come to know about it only during the middle of the movie. All the fight sequences are interspersed with a lot of humor. All in All.. a great movie to watch for the entire family.",10 "I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan and haven't seen all of the films but I thought this would be a good movie to watch with a friend who grew up loving the series. Nevertheless, we go into the theatre and commence to wasting two hours of our time. This movie made no sense at all. It just slips from one scene to another. There's never an actual point in the movie where I felt like I knew what was happening. And there's no semblance of a storyline. It just doesn't make sense. I still cannot tell you what happened. And I saw the entire thing from start to finish. And it's a shame too. The special effects and graphics are top notch. And the acting was superb. The big name actors all wasted their time associating themselves with this garbage movie. If I could rate it any lower, I would. Don't waste your time. Run.",1 "I had high expectations when I went watch it, but I left the cinema bored and disappointed. It's nothing like the other movies from Tarantino and this is a bad thing.",2 "Possession horror is one of the most popular subgenres with countless good and bad films. As a fan of anything supernatural this is certainly one of my favorite categories but to find an actual creative film that looks good, has an interesting story and a decent amount of fear factor is a true rarity. This directorial debut from the Philippou brothers has managed to do just that! The film instantly creates a sense of mystery and pins your attention until the very end through a highly interesting plot that has an idea to get your head working and your heart pumping as you are enjoying the experience. Talk To Me is about a group of friends who begin summoning spirits using an embalmed hand. Each possession is uploaded to social media and before long, teenagers all around become anxious to try it themselves because of the feeling of ecstasy that comes with the experience. Eventually, one of the sessions goes wrong and no one understands how to fix it because nobody actually knew the nature of this mysterious hand. What stands out about Talk To Me is that there is no exposition or any digestion throughout the film as it lets the audience come up with their own ideas. Instead it uses the intrigue to grab your hand and pull you into the mystery through the effective use of suspense and solid cinematography. The limited scares are well made and the hospital vision in particular has got to be one of my favorite and most terrifying scenes in years. Genuine stuff of nightmares. The idea of social media and how kids will do anything for the trend as well as the concept of constantly chasing the high and how it can doom you are well captured. However, the movie never tries to teach you like bloody elevated horror and instead prioritizes the actual escapism horror experience. The movie is never stale and constantly hands you something interesting to keep the heart pumping and the brain ticking. I do recommend seeing it in the cinema as it's an atmospheric and creative Indie horror that remains fascinating over the course of its short time. P. S. The real horror of this movie is how everyone kept putting shoes on beds and furniture.

CONs 1- A show for LOKI where other than him everyone is funny. 2- A show for LOKI where he is the biggest looser. 3-They can make season 2 in which LOKI gets therapy. ( for all the issues he has with you know who). 4- What was those fight scenes, the camera angles, fight choreography was 2/10. It looked like actors where having a little bit of troble with green screen. I mean this is the problem of making a show for side character destined to be looser. We where all waiting for the LOKI moment and ................. I am looking forward to what will happen to LOKI's character will he be a winner and not be LOKI anymore or will he keep on loosing and stay as LOKI.",7 Such a beautiful experience. Thank you Director Kiran Raj and the hero Rakshith Shetty for giving us (audience) such an innovative thrilling emotional experience. You have taken Karnataka Film industry to greater heights and make the world notice us through your brilliant movie. A huge applause to the entire team. Special mention to the little girl and I cannot forget the whistles that welcomed Raj Shetty.,9 WandaVision is the first of the Disney shows that take place in the MCU. I need to start off with my praise for Elizabeth Olsen and the job she does here. She's not only beautiful but she's such an underrated actress. She really is one of the better actresses working right now. Wanda is one of the most powerful superheroes in the entire MCU and it really shows here. It's a weird and very fun show that will keep you entertained throughout the series. The attention to detail really captured the era and is a fantastic tribute to to the sitcoms of that era. If you're a fan of the MCU then this is a must watch!,9 "I know this movie did poorly at the box office. Despite all its big names, it flopped upon release last year, to the tune of almost $100 million dollars - pretty much a total loss. That said, I don't know exactly why ""Amsterdam"" was so unpopular. (Was it the scandal that David O Russell was embroiled in years back?) I actually really liked it, though I had no idea what to expect from ""Amsterdam"" going in. The movie isn't exactly fast-paced, but it does contain flashbacks and heavy/important dialogue. There is humor peppered throughout, but it's the quirky, quiet, dry kind so maybe audiences just didn't quite get it? I'll admit, the plot did lose me a little toward the end, but I mostly found my way back. It kicks off with a dead person, and then another abrupt (non-gory) murder, before Christian Bale's character flashes back to give more context. He is oddly charming as Burt Berendsen, a Park Avenue doctor-turned-reluctant-soldier/veteran who is forced into war at the suggestion of his wife's wealthy family. Burt quickly forms a friendship with a fellow (Black) army member, John David Washington (BlacKkKlansman). Margot Robbie, beautiful and talented as ever, meets these two later as the nurse tending to their extreme battle wounds. I thought all three of the main stars had great chemistry as they try to solve the many layers to the two deaths at the beginning...but Margot Robbie's character flitted in and out of the story a little. I didn't like this one as much as ""Joy"", or ""American Hustle"", but I do still think it's worth a watch. It's a star-studded period piece loosely based on actual events (key word: loosely) and I for one, think it's pretty interesting and fun, despite some political undertones. Great performances by Christian Bale and John David Washington, and the dynamic between Margot Robbie's Valerie and Anya Taylor-Joy's Libby is truly entertaining. Keep an eye out for all the stars here, there are a fair amount!",8 "To be honest, I'm not really a fan of scary movies so maybe best ignore me here. The acting was ok but it was just another horror - copy paste. A lot of not much happened then the doll did that thing it does and bad stuff went down. Poor plot, poor ending, checked my watch every 15 mins. If you've seen the others, you've seen this one. Plot 3/10 Acting 6/10 Ending 2/10 Duration vs interest 1/10 Soundtrack 3/10 Overall 3/10",3 "What a load of rubbish, you gotta love the way everyone gets real excited about a film that doesn't make any sense, hey, i don't get it, oh, so it must be an intelligent movie! People, movies are not intelligent, they are there for entertainment, and this one was just plain stupid, basically tripping over itself trying to be cleverer then it was supposed to be. Any intelligent human being who stops and thinks about it for 2 minutes will realise that it doesn't make sense at the beginning, nor at the end, and all the thickoes like that! because if it doesn't make sense to them, then it must be clever, no guys! give yourselves more credit then that, it's a load of rubbish!",1 "It took me quite a while to watch this one, as I didn't feel it would add something of substance to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, plus the fact that it was extremely over-hyped and I happen to dislike Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan's horrendous acting abilities. The filmmakers even misused Andy Serkis and Martin Freeman; to spoil two such great actors tells you something about this movie. I wasn't surprised, really; I expected this movie to be boring and unappealing to me. I tried to get pass all of those unfavourable things and just enjoy the film, because if it's at least silly entertainment with zero depth or interesting storytelling, then at least it accomplishes the entertainment factor, which is a good thing. Having said that, there were moments in which I found myself interested and involved, but those moments were few and faded away pretty quickly. Even the action I found it dull, nothing that could raise an eyebrow. The only thing I thought it was okay was the CGI, which I've seen a lot of people in here criticize. Whenever there were scenes of the tech used in Wakanda, I though the special effects were very well done. I couldn't feel absolutely anything for these characters. Had they all died in the end, I wouldn't have been shocked or even cared at all. Michael B. Jordan as a villain was an utter joke, totally forced and unbelievable. I think Black Panther actually IS a cool character, but I dislike the way the actor has portrayed T'Challa, and to have a heavily criticized origin movie sort of creates an stigma for the character in my opinion. Although one could argue that it definitely has something to do with the masses and social media, because the hype was created by the people, the ""fans"". And fans disguised as ""journalists"" posting about the movie on every site and on social media. Believe it or not all of this influences how many people view this character and his universe. All in all, this movie wasn't very good in my opinion, but I did enjoy some parts, so I'm giving it a 5. There are far more people out there with harsher words than mine who won't hesitate in rating it below 5. If there's a sequel, I will be watching for sure, but I'm not expecting much, that's for sure. Suddenly I feel like watching Static Shock or Blade for better outlets of metahumans of African-descent. And to why there are so many people praising this flick as if it was The Dark Knight, it's beyond me.",4 "If this script was someone's else it wouldn't even reached theatres. I think it is boring, useless, pointless. Dialogues are...omg i cannot even say how damn boring they were...Just a waste of time. I'm disappointed I wasted my time watching it. 2/10 is too much, consider it a gift In honor of good old times...Meh.",3 "Quiteliterally Love - Aaj - Kal, Imtiaz Ali's take on loves-lovers past and present is a good follow-up to Jab We Met. Any notions of the film being merely an exercise in comparison are dispelled before halftime. Jai (Saif Ali Khan) and Meera (Deepika Padukone) have to go through their respective dreams of working for Golden Gate Inc. and doing restoration work to monuments in Dilli before realizing their need for one another. The theme of bridges isn't bandied about on screen (the title has the Golden Gate adorning it) but presented with subtlety; their metaphorical nature - Jai is well into 'building bridges' with Veer Singh (Rishi Kapoor, so effortless that the role hints at a palpable danger of his being typecast in the future) - is driven home with clarity. In short, the crucial ingredients that made people susceptible in the decades past to falling headlong into love - deprivation and finding access to one's partner difficult - are the missing pieces for the modern couple too. Almost as if a work of art was finding itself, the film heaves an audible sigh, relieved that not much has changed over the years. About the pair then. Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone have zero natural chemistry and far from being a detractor, it adds to the experience - it makes their on-screen vibes seem very appealing. Indian filmmakers dealing with love stories go to great lengths in casting the lead pair and try to derive much of the chemistry from the pair itself. None of that here. Imtiaz has worked at extracting performances from the duo making them seem every inch a couple by dint of putting them at ease with each other and also by the play of events. Love Aaj Kal holds testimony to the comfort levels Indian filmmakers have established with cinematographic techniques (Natarajan Subramaniam, here) in the past decade. Experimenting yet but there are genuine indicators here to the control they have over the same. The period pieces don't feel overdone. The songs (Pritam) could have added more to the film and only two of them (Chor Bazaari and Dooriyan) register. All these are packaged into just-about-two-hours making for a crisp movie. For that alone, Imtiaz deserves applause.",7 "ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD relies too heavily on screen time given to the acting of Leonardo DiCaprio, which is fine but overly familiar. Brad Pitt fares better with the scenes written for him and if you added up the total running time of Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate it would clock into just under 15 minutes. The movie would have benefitted with less DiCaprio forever proving he's a good actor and more of Robbie's presence. To the millions who have grown up with the Manson killings this movie is extremely satisfying and surprisingly moving at the end. The ending will stay with you. I can only think the much ballyhooed ""Tarantino's love letter to 1969 Hollywood"" is exaggerated by critics eager to get their quotes on TV and in headlines. The 161 minute running time gives you fleeting glimpses of 1969 Hollywood at best and not enough of them. When in doubt Tarantino leans on long scenes of DiCaprio. He's the padding of the picture. I wanted more glimpses of 69' Hollywood and less ""actors scenes"". Oh, and much more of Margot Robbie.",4 "Totally predictable, boring and dry. A BIG disappointment!",2 "The actress in leading role ( Gal Gadot ) can not act. She can Not even change her accent, that's why they asked all the other actresses (Amazon Warriors) to imitate her accent. After watching several movies from her, it's obvious that she can only repeat herself on the screen. Nothing against her, But she is just a Pretty Face and we can consider her as a Model at it's best, but acting is not one her talents.",2 "Stars: Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi, Peter Stormare. This is what would be known as a very small movie. It takes place in very few places, has only a few main characters, and the whole movie just seemed really small, which turns out to be a good thing. You really get to know and love every character, no matter how much they have to say. The order by which the character's are introduced are quite odd, where the first 1/3rd of the film is about Jerry Lundegaard (Macy) and his wife's set-up kidnap by Carl (Buscemi) and Gaear (Stormare). The last 2/3rds are about Marge Gunderson (McDormand), a police officer, trying to solve three murders in the process of kidnapping Jerry's wife. The whole film I was glued to the screen, and when it ended, I kind of went ""Oh."" It's not a tricky film to follow, it doesn't have any interesting plot twists or any amazing ending, it's just a wonderfully written, directed and acted simple film, that instead of ending with a big bang shoot 'em up, ends with more of a simple and effective whimper. My rating: **** out of ****. 93 mins. Rated R for language, gory violence and some sex/nudity.",10 "We don't live in a Newtonian causal world modelled after clock ,we already live in a uncertainty model. The Villain should have completed his studies but surprised to see a Villain with such strong philosophy kinda reminds me of Joker. Strong ideology but flawed ,one mustn't fall for these type of ideologies.",8 """Extraction"" is all about the gritty action and violence while Hemsworth holds again his sort of superhuman entity, near-invincible hero that populated the action films of 1980s (Rambo). If you need a quick action fix while quarantining ""Extraction"" will do the job nicely, but outside of the polished action scenes, there isn't anything offered here that hasn't been done a hundred times before and better (John Wick). Although predictable in places and featuring set-pieces that stretch the realms of believability, ""Extraction"" is a well made action movie which ends with a strangely ambiguous shot. Overall, ""Extraction"" delivers high octane action sequences but doesn't have anything else except that. Rating: 6+/7- (above average action movie)",6 Will Scorsese ever learn to go straight to the point?,5 I have never watched a film with so many stars as bad as this one. The first minutes are a mess and you wonder what's going on. Then they are all on this strange island where the decor is the only interesting thing. All actors look unnatural and unconvinced by their role. Craig's accent is ridiculous. The whole film is so long and boring that I did not care what would happen beyond the first hour. I moved to a little Canadian crime series with unknown actors which was 100 times better. And certainly costing 100 times less. It is sad because the first film (knives out) was quite good. You can try it to your own risks.,2 "Based off of critical and audience receptions alike, I hoped that John Wick would be the saving grace that the action genre needs in this day and age. I hoped that this would be the needle in the haystack of the newest additions to the Expendables, Die Hard, and Transformers franchises. I was expecting intense, fast-paced choreography, an intimidating villain, relatable motive, and stakes that actually felt like they held some weight to them. By the end of the film, my disappointment was immeasurable, and my day was ruined. There's very little about this film that impressed me at all. Keanu did a fine job, but I was expecting a bit more, considering everyone regards him as a God now. The choreography was almost impressive, but I found that it was insanely slow, unexciting, and pales in comparison to something like the Raid. I was never bored. The dog was cute. Part of what makes some of my favorite action films so special is that the audience is always on the edge of their seat, because at any moment, any of the on-screen characters could succumb to the lingering tension that's constantly in the air and actually die. Stakes are one of the most essential aspects in an action film, yet this one lacks any. Because of the lack of tension, the action scenes suffer immensely. Not only are we constantly told that John Wick is invincible and can't be stopped, but we're shown this as well. We never see a hint of injury to him until the end of the second act, and even then, it feels completely unnatural and forced. John Wick has next-to-nothing going for it in its story, which consists of three important plot-points: the villain, his wife, and his former buddy, Marcus. I'll go down the line and see how much each doesn't work The villain is a hilarious cliché that never feels intimidating in the slightest. From the moment we see our antagonist, we pretty much know exactly how the plot's going to play out all the way to the unsatisfying finale. His wife's role had lots of potential to be an impactful and emotional beat in the film to be a reminder of why John is doing what he's doing, but she feels less like an organic character and purely like words on a script to get the story going where it needs to go. To give the audience a grip of how much she means to John, we are given exactly one montage and one video shown on a cellphone. His friend, Marcus, has both problems mentioned above. Not only is his story extremely predictable, but you could hardly call him a character. You really couldn't care less whether he were to live or die. He is given a couple moments to shine in what is supposed to be tense, but comes off extremely goofy and laughable. I might look like a goof nitpicking the story in an action movie, but when the action scenes don't work for me at all, what more am I left with? There are a couple technical complaints such as ugly cinematography and bland music choices but nothing nearly as bad as everything else aforementioned. I wanted to love this. I really did. When's the last time we've had a great action trilogy? I want it so bad, but this disappointing entry makes me a lot less excited to watch the sequels.",4 Finally DC and Warner were able to make a film not overseen or darkened to the point of annoyance by Zack Snyder. The movie stands on its own and fit in the established world building an extra level to the (possible) bright future of the franchise. There were parts that seems the guys from Jackass were trying to write a John Hughes film and failing miserably but overall it was a fun film with several nice Easter eggs for the future.,6 "Well it was only a matter of time after the movie based on monsters that react to noise (a quiet place) that we would get a movie based on monsters that effect you by sight! Bird box should have been named a dark place. I am surprised that Sandra Bullock accepted the role considering the total lack of substance and storyline. Simlair to a quiet place they managed to fill 2hrs with bad script bad story and a lot of boredom Don't waste your time unless you loved a quiet place then this 2hrs of stationary boredom is probably right up your street!",1 "The truth is one of those films that invite you to see it taking into account the quality of the actors and the producer. But let's be honest, apart from having a luxury cast and one of the best directors of all time ... the truth is that the film leaves a lot to be desired, it is very weak, there are two hours of dialogues that are summarized in a single scene that for everyone is cathartic !, we all wish that the reality had been what we saw in the end, contrary to what really happened with Sharon Tate and this is achieved with the magic of cinema, but I was really very disappointed not only in the movie but in addition to the general critics who rate it as one of the best movies of all time ... I would like to see how they would have rated it if the actors and the producer were not known ... It must be admitted that it has a very good scenery of the time and costumes but I really do not recommend it, it seemed a waste of time. It is only my opinion to judge for yourselves.",4 "With such a pleiade of stars, I expected something really interesting, fresh and funny. I love Kirsten Bell and Mila Kunis, but - oh, wow, what a boring, dull, stupid film this turned out to be. Do people really like these crude uninspired jokes and slap comedy sketches? I could have felt sorry for the character of Jason Segel, if there was anything to like and respect about him, but all we saw was a sloppy, lazy, whining mess of a man, clinging to a beautiful woman way out of his league. Not much unlike all the other men in the movie, who were jerks of their own kind. If there was anything redeeming about the film, it was the beautiful scenery. But a beach and a purple sunset do not a film make.",3 "There's a reason why Marvel has such a big fanbase, and why I am a part of it. This movie is extremely entertaining. The characters are consistent and interesting. The action and effects are nearly flawless. The story is engaging. Its hard for me to write reviews for this type of movie, because pretty much everything is done perfectly that the review would end up being redundant. Any nitpicks are drowned out by how entertaining this movie is. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone, especially if you're a fan of Marvel.",10 "I watched season 1 and thought it compelling enough to finish the season, but I lost interest fast in the second season. Maybe, I'm just done with super powered themed shows. I see the 8.7 average rating and am trying to convince myself to keep with it, but I don't think it's worth it.",6 "The stage curtains open ... They could've left a sign by the entrance of the theater that read, ""Leave brains here"" - not because Venom likes to eat brains, but because with this movie, there is no thinking required. ""Venom - Let There Be Carnage"" is straight up eye candy and CG action sequences set against a rather generic plot and subpar acting. If I was 10 years old, I would've loved this and talked about it with all my friends, but ... that I am not. We catch up with Eddie Brock and his symbiote, Venom, as they are adjusting to everyday life together, much like two new roommates would. Eddie is asked to interview an imprisoned serial killer named Cletus Kasady, and while they're there, Venom is able to figure out where he hid the bodies of his victims, which leads to Kasady receiving the death sentence. Before he is executed, Kasady asks to see Eddie again, but this time, he finds out about Venom ... and during an altercation, Kasady gets some of Eddie's blood on him ... and Carnage is born. The whole premise of this movie was to have fun with computer graphics to give us onscreen representations of both Venom and Carnage that any 8 to 12-year-old would say is ""cool"". We have a cute little side story of the bond of friendship between Eddie and Venom, as well as another one with Eddie learning to accept the fact that Anne is moving on to be with another man. The final climactic confrontation wasn't anything special, just like the movie itself. I can't recommend this one. It wasn't a bad movie, but it doesn't measure. No thinking required ... just bring in your soda and bucket of popcorn and check out for 97 minutes. It is a nice diversion until the next actual good superhero film comes out.

So, I thought why would Sharukh khan will make a movie that is realistic, different and really runs on acting instead of cheesy bollywood romantic masala. But damn, sharukh did it. This is definitely the best film of sharukh I have ever seen in my personal opinion. I definitely liked DDLJ, but not at this level. This is the kind of movie bollywood really needs right now.

Considering other features of the genre, Silence of the Lambs springs to mind and makes this look quite amateurish. A polished turd.",3 "A friend told me about a trilogy of books, ALL SOULS by Deborah Harkness, that she has been enjoying which led me to discover that all three books are being made into a TV series, with an impressive cast. A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES is the first in that trilogy and was broadcast in 2018. I am so glad to have found this show. The performances are wonderful, the reshaping of familiar supernatural creatures is refreshing and the story is a clever metaphor for the political realities of the world in which we live (there has been criticism that the racial casting reinforces stereotypes within our culture but I would suggest that this is a deliberate choice to underscore our own social biases and the injustice that they unconsciously support, so that they can be eradicated). To leave the metaphor aside, this is great storytelling, an excellent love story and a compelling struggle for survival. There is whimsy and magic; foes and unlikely friends. As with the first book, the first series leaves us mid-step, and, although the second series in now in production (due for broadcast in 2020), I may have to order up the audible book for the 2nd in the series because the adventure is just that compelling. I rate this series a 9 (superb) out of 10. {Fantasy Romantic Drama}",9 "I like much of the work of the writer/ director. Because of that, and based on SO MANY strong articles, reviews & awards, I expected to more than just like this. But, I don't like it. Where Frank is known for dialogue, there is NOTHING interesting about the dialogue. And, the story never really comes to a point; it's just small events that just happen as the lead character, Beth, moves through her life. And, I mean 'moves through her life': she doesn't really make choices with an objective. She has no compass; the story has no compass. She is just barely more than a caricature. None of the characters catch the attention, so none holds the attention. Ultimately, the series is a boring slog. This series is surprisingly flat. The writing offers little opportunity for the actors to do much, so I don't understand the praise for the acting. It is also another example of Netflix developing a 7-episode series that could have been a movie or, at most, a 3-episode series. I'm not sure why this was such a hit, but I suspect that newer reviews will be less glowing, less enamored.",4 "Tarantino is like modern art or freeform jazz, we say we like it because we're afraid to be thought 'uncool' if we don't. Had this movie been directed by John Smith it would have hardly been noticed but because QT can get A-listers and has a name it gets him a pass on what is a much too long, much too meandering movie. This story could have been told in 90 minutes instead of the 160 it took. Brad Pitt does a terrific job, Margot Robbie is perfect and even though strained, Leonardo DiCaprio is very good. The problem is that Tarantino wanders away from what was a great idea into some self indulgent fantasy land. There is a great story in this movie, unfortunately it is being told like your stuttering uncle trying to tell a long joke.",6 "12 movies that your model of cinematic universe, Marvel Studios is showing a coherence logic and narrative to teach in many sequences and movie universes that are being planned, all culminating in Captain America: Civil War, a film that is both long a fanciful sequence Captain America: Winter Soldier, ""a sequence"" Avengers: Age of Ultron, an introduction of two characters pivotal to the house of the ideas that are the Black Panther and his All Star, Spiderman, how to this in a movie with so quality? The Russians Brothers could not only that, but made the best film of Marvel and say more, is by the Dark Knight as one of the most important works of the genre, with fantastic action scenes (especially one that takes place in an airport, where each character can make a more epic thing to another, using fine powers) the downtrodden whole script in vigilantism, almost post Snowden references, Robert Downey Jr justifies its very high salary and his best performance as Iron Man, a performance as magnetic as charismatic, Chris Evans creates a Cap full of nuances and layers, we feel how their decisions weigh on his journey, the new additions of the Avengers are spectacular, Tom Holland simply creates the best Spider-Man the big screen, Bosseman embodies the Black Panther with all power and majesty that the character deserves and Scott Lang Paul Rudd with his comic taken almost always well- aimed. Although sin in your villain not giving developing the character deserved and some small mistakes and lack of courage here and there, the stage is Captain America and Iron Man, with his motivations, views and his power of influence, this makes the movie relevant and opens a new range to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 9.6 / 10",10 "With the exception of John Woo's undercooked second instalment, Mission: Impossible has been that rarest of things: a major action-movie franchise which improves (or at least avoids diminishing) with each new iteration. 2015's Rogue Nation was arguably the best of the lot, with Sean Harris excellentl as the implacably villainous Solomon Lane, and Rebecca Ferguson the most engaging foil the series has yet found for the tireless Tom Cruise. With these two returning alongside the ever-present Cruise, Fallout could and should have been a slam dunk. Instead, it's a damp squib, bogged down by a plot that manages to be convoluted and predictable at the same time, alongside turgid dialogue and stilted performances. On the upside, Fallout's stunts are as adrenaline-pumping as any previous M:I film, with eye-popping visuals throughout, all shot and performed superbly. These sequences noticeably lack the innovative staging and high-wire tension which characterised their predecessors, though: the classic suspension-rig routine from the first film, or the projection-based subterfuge inside the Kremlin from Ghost Protocol. Instead, we get a succession of blunt-force traumas: big, muscular punch-ups, car chases and explosions. This kind of uncomplicated energy is fine for your average big summer blockbuster, but the absence of the inventiveness which characterised previous M:I films is a disappointment. When the action-sequence dust settles, this lack of ambition becomes more of a problem. Harris and Ferguson, along with the otherwise-excellent Angela Bassett, are given relatively meagre screen time, dominated by tedious exposition, unintentionally hilarious attempts at pathos and smirking pantomime villainy respectively. They're shunted aside to make room for Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames to go through the motions once more, Vanessa Kirby as Cruise's latest age-inappropriate object of sexual tension. and Henry Cavill doing his usual turn as a very angry man with big muscles who is incapable of expressing any emotion. All of them are pulled along by a plot whose strings are always visible, suspended haphazardly between those big action sequences: where previous films felt taut and incisive, and generally managed to fit some interesting character development between the tentpole moments. This time, we get some poorly-written one-liners, a couple of hopelessly signposted plot twists, and a bit of half-baked musings on Ethan Hunt's morals. The overall effect is deadening, and lowers the stakes to barely-perceptible levels. We don't understand or care about these characters, despite the elaborate peril they're placed in. An hour or so in, it starts to feel like the spectacular stunts have been left to compensate for the dramatic hole at the film's core; by the end, it's clear they've failed.",3 "1-3-24 I haven't laughed this much in a long time. Martin Short and Steve Martin together in a show, OMG! They are hilarious. We need more shows like this that make you laugh. I hadn't seen Selena Gomez much. She really does a great job in this series. She knows how to handle the two neurotic and self-centered comedy duo and she plays her part very well. She is funny, serious , beautiful and lovely all at the same time. It's a unique show, there is so much funny stuff, and hilarious antics yet murders are taking place and the murder investigations are very intense and serious in their process. So you have both things going on. Martin Short and Steve Martin are amazing, they shine through with their incredible comedy. They are so funny, true actors who have withstood time and no one could do what they are doing, they are great! I have watched all three seasons and can't wait for more. Every season had intricate and complex story plots and anyone could be a suspect with the quirky, neurotic and crazy people that they come across every day. You keep trying to guess who did but something keeps leading you to another and another. WOW! Really keeps you guessing. Great writing for sure. Can't wait for season 4. UPDATE: 1-4-24 I agree with some of the other reviewers Amy Schumer really was terrible in this show. I have no idea why they thought she would be a good fit. Couldn't wait til she was done and Cara. Delevingne was not a good fit either.

That's exactly what she is. With two comedic geniuses (Martin and Short) in tow, there needs to be a grounded leg in the trio. That's Gomez. She's perfect. She's moody and snarky, a typical young Manhattanite. If you haven't seen OMITB yet, Ignore the haters - The chemistry between the 3 leads is great and very entertaining. It's a fun whodunit.

I feel sorry for her colleagues, from the actors snd directors to the amazing special effects teams and technicians on every level... she single handedly ruins the production with her Mac Donalds quality level of acting. What a shame that Wonder Woman was reduced to this poor quality of acting when the role model is , as always, so necessary for young women. Hopefully Gal Gadot will burn out soon and disappear from our field of vision.",2 "For the type of movie this is, it's not half bad. Slow moving at times and some the the dialogue doesn't ring true. Sad tale of two young people who have cancer....not a comedy for sure. Depressing in fact. Well acted by the leads and especially Laura Dern as the mother. Wonderful performance and wanted to see more of her. As a realist and difficult to take 'theatrical' license, I'm wondering how Gus and Issac got to that church toward the end. Issac is blind and Gus is dying and in a wheel chair. How in the world did the get to and from the church??? Would have been more realistic if one of Gus' parents had been sitting in the back somewhere. Then you'd know how the two boys got there. Also, at the end when the mother tells Hazel that someone is here to see you. It's Issac. How did he get to the house. Just little quibbles like this kind of spoil the whole thing.",5 "The show is great! I don't know if all those negative reviews are real or paid. Yes the story could be a bit better but is it very good as is. It's a shame it was cancelled it had great potential. I almost skipped it because of the unreasonable negative reviews, I am glad I didn't.",8 Some oif think we were great as kids Others bump it up much I can't write an essay on this film but its just full of happyt family cliches The Waltoins might be better if you had the patience Some oif think we were great as kids Others bump it up much I can't write an essay on this film but its just full of happyt family cliches The Waltoins might be better if you had the patience Some oif think we were great as kids Others bump it up much I can't write an essay on this film but its just full of happyt family cliches The Waltoins might be better if you had the patience Some oif think we were great as kids Others bump it up much I can't write an essay on this film but its just full of happyt family cliches The Waltoins might be better if you had the patience Some oif think we were great as kids Others bump it up much I can't write an essay on this film but its just full of happyt family cliches The Waltoins might be better if you had the patience Some oif think we were great as kids Others bump it up much I can't write an essay on this film but its just full of happyt family cliches The Waltoins might be better if you had the patience.,2 "Well, looks like Tom Hardy finally made a bad movie. I gave it a 2 just because I loved the rest of his films. Hope he never watched it.",2 "The writing is fantastic. The chemistry between the lead cast is surprising brilliant while the supporting cast have their characters so well developed which then leads back to outstanding direction. Very high production values, the story lines, twists and witty lines coupled with lot of slapstick makes sure you ain't regret it. ! Martin shorts high energy comedic timing is perfectly offset by steve Martin's more controlled comedy and selena gomez is totally brilliant to watch..

""Fantastic Script: crisp, modern and funny, with some great one liners!"" A Great Entertainer: 7/10. Second Half Drags a little, but thats OK",7 "WOW. I had low expectations after Spiderman 1. Spider Guy 2 is a blowout, take no prisoners, roller coaster ride of a film. It's got it all: great story line, edge of your seat action, romance, humor, fine acting, break neck pace,….well, you get the idea. This film is for the whole family. Great chase scenes, crashes, and special effects for the guys. Romance, and a tender love story for the gals. Comic book touches for the kids. It just works so well on every level. McGuire and Dunst have a chemistry that reminded me of Niles and Daphne in ""Frasier."" They loved each other from afar, and could not communicate their feelings to each other. The romantic tension was exquisite. So it is here with McGuire and Dunst. You know they have to get together at some point, but the long and difficult road is a journey we enjoy. The villain is definitely top shelf. Without revealing too much, suffice it to say that he's bad enough, scary enough, and convincing enough to make the film work on the plot level. The special effects are well done, especially where Spiderman has to save passengers on a speeding train. Spiderman has self doubts, begins to lose his powers, and longs to be Peter Parker instead of a superhero. He struggles with his choices in life, as we all do. He makes difficult choices, and learns that truth and integrity are rewarded, even when the results are very painful for the aunt who has replaced his mother. You might see films with a deeper message, but you won't see many films that combine action, romance, and meaning in one slick package. See this one. In fact, you may want to buy this one for your DVD library.",9 "I finished the serie two weeks and I keep getting flashbacks to the characters. So the show got to me. I really enjoyed the pace, the different personalities, the atmosphere and changing scenes. Really pleasant. Want to give an 8.5",8 "Aaaaaand the Oscar goes to Chiwetel Ejiofor. He did an amazing job in ""12 Years A Slave."" Really outstanding. The movie as a whole....7/10. I think I would have scored it much higher if it had a different director. Steve McQueen's style just doesn't work for me. If you're a fan of his other films, you'll probably like this one. I have a feeling he had final cut approval of this film, and it really shows. It desperately needed an editor. A much tighter narrative would have been significantly more moving. The dialogue was unusually awkward for a film of this caliber - it ripped me right out of the story. The scenes of brutality were very difficult to watch, but that was the point. The film definitely made me want to read the book (to which it is supposed to be very faithful). There was some unnecessary creation of inflammatory, fictitious dialogue which is unfortunate because the real story is damning enough. The acting was mostly good (Chiwetel was fantastic, as mentioned above). Michael Fassbender's transformation into a cruel slave master was remarkable and chilling. He'll most likely win for Best Supporting Actor. Benedict Cumberbatch was great, as always. There were a bunch of really, really odd casting choices, though, that, again, ripped me from the story. Taran Killam (SNL), Garret Dillahunt (Raising Hope), Brad Pitt in a five- minute cameo. I understand that comedians often want to transfer to more dramatic roles, but I really think their addition to a production of this weighty subject matter was a huge mistake. This isn't a movie you'll enjoy seeing, but if you're a fan of the cautionary tales of history and want to see a relatively faithful adaptation of a horrifying true story set in the pre-abolition US, then I think you'll benefit from seeing this film.",7 "In American Fiction, a black professor struggles trying to get his latest, very literary book published. Annoyed after seeing an author have tremendous success with a book in the poor-suffering-black-folk genre, he writes as a joke a pulpy novel about black criminals that is quickly embraced by way too many people. The movie is sharply, bitterly funny from the first scene, in which a white student lectures him on racism. But while this movie is often hilarious, it is not one of these satires that uses its characters as props to make a point. The author, wonderfully played by Jeffrey Wright, is a prickly character dealing with family trauma, and it manages to delve into his traumas and flaws while never losing the humor. The story keeps moving and never falls into the obvious choices, which is what makes the ending(s) so utterly brilliant. This movie is funny, it is caustic, but it is also genuinely touching and heartfelt. I've seen about two thirds of the 2024 best picture oscar nominees and for me it's obvious that this should win (and won't). One aside. I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at the user reviews to discover that they weren't filled with complaints about the portrayal of white people. This movie genuinely portrays white people as, at best, clueless idiots, and I was certain reviewers would be whining about that the way they have whined about the much less caustic portrayal of white folks in other movies. Perhaps this movie simply portrays white people so convincingly that we all have to say, well, yeah, that's fair. Anyway, watch this movie, it's amazing.",9 "It was the most overrated movie I have ever seen. It was a waste of time, and I am so disappointed in Nolan.",3 "What a manual and steps to survive on Pandora. We learned to live in jungle and now in the water. We have got introductions with major flora and fauna of Pandora. So many questions left unanswered. 2 hours of family drama and whole of the Pandora sepaking in English. People on Pandora are primitive and yet so much advanced. Old villain reenters as though no one else can play a villain or the bad guy. Same old people with forced charcters as though someone needs a promotion so a designation is created. The thing appreciable is computer graphics animations and VFX effects. I was excited for this installment but it has left me high and dry for the next one it is happens.",2 "This is a wonderfully worthwile film, with good acting and a well-composed score. However, I do believe the script and the cinematography in certain parts could have been better. Also, the acting was a little melodramatic at times, and I believe the messages the film was attempting to promote could have been more effectively conveyed. Besides these things, I also have an issue with the occasional instances of crude language that occur in the film. Other than that, this is a great film, with good drama and emotional moments, appropriate and enjoyable for the whole family.",7 "Overall entertaining, but I was disappointed in the last few episodes. Starts out really good, the first few episodes keep you on the edge of your seat. But about halfway through it gets less and less interesting, and fizzles out as it goes. Could be because of the way the story is written...it just seems to set itself up for something more spectacular than what it actually delivers.",7 "First I read and heard many bad critics about this movie and so I started to watch it with a low expecting outcome, but I just loved it all the way from the beginning to the end. Finally a movie that combines all the crap that happened in the year 2020-2021 in a very truth and cynical way with a nice - not extreme, but still very good - script. The actors were all exactly what you expect of them, each had their part and those were all very good. - At the end I was very delightful entertained and against all the bad critics - which I can see exactly from what people wrote those - I must say this is a good movie.",9 "Set about 450 years into the past, Agreed, this movie had what it takes! Beautiful sets, amazing photography, awesome music and a very talented cast. However, too many good things come with a few problems. The problem for ""Jodha Akbar"" is its own director - Ashutosh. No complaints about his story-telling skills - He definitely is one of the best directors out in Bollywood. But, with a film like ""Jodha Akbar"", Ashutosh failed to carry it on from where he left it, with a film like Lagaan! When asked, in an interview prior to the release of this movie, Ashutosh said that 30% of this movie is historically accurate and 70% is his fascination. Watching this movie made me realize that if someone had to come up with a fantasy after enormous amount of research, it surely can't get any worse than this movie. Where do I start spelling disaster?: How about those hundreds of shots in the movie which will give you a ""YashRaj"" effect. How about omission of facts for entertainment? ""Omission of facts"" - oh boy, Don't I sound like one of those who helped this movie get a ban in Rajasthan! Oh yea, this movie ain't no documentary - Yes, but then why on earth would you advertise it with a title that has to do with Akbar the Great! Why have a story line that tends to talk about what Akbar did as a 13-year old? Why all the fuss about those battles which were historically relevant? Hrithik is an amazing actor. As much as I like him for his acting talents, I can't help being nit-picky: He does a commendable job in uttering all of the well written dialogue, however he did struggle to spell out more than a few of those Urdu words in the way they are supposed to be spelled. Too much eye-blinking! and raising of eyebrow - that is too much of Hrithik and less of Akbar. Yes, none of us knew how expressive Akbar was, but if I were 400 years old, I would be more convincing if not expressive. Aishwarya is one of the most beautiful women in the world!: Women who get better with age! Thankfully she showcased her matured acting skills and I am glad that I didn't get to witness any of those weird facial expressions she owns. Kudos to the master - A.R.Rehman and his team: Brilliant compositions! Background music is the second intense thing after Hrithik's acting, that keeps you engrossed. Finally: Yes, this movie is a commercial movie. Yes, it casts Hrithik as ""Ideal Akbar"": Akbar, who wasn't. Yes, it doesn't care to mention his two other wives and his harem! Yes, you should go see this movie if you prefer watching historically irrelevant movies oozing with ""Bollywood Cheese"".",7 """Your mission, should you choose to accept it"" is to pack the thinnest and least original script since the invention of ticking time bombs with as many stunt opportunities as possible (here is a clue: got an appointment with the deadly attractive but irresistibly poisonous brunette du jour in the very heart of Paris? Forget about riding the good old subway: simply sky-dive from stratospheric heights overhead with some cumbersome scuba diving equipment - thereby ensuring a good 10 minutes of adrenaline-infused free fall), to endow characters predictable from frame one with impossible moral dilemmas (should I save the whole of us 7 billion earthlings or just spare this one single life?) and bizarre fantasies (said brunette cannot help flinging herself on charismatic hero about twice her age), and to revive desperately cliché dialogues and situations (IMF teammate #1, looking concerned: 'there is one solution but it is way too dangerous'; IMF teammate #2 (a woman), jaw dropping in disbelief: 'you mean we might all die on this mission?'; IMF chief operative glances across from the steering wheel and shrugs his shoulders; IMF teammate #4 flashing a sympathetic smile: 'Gotta do the job, guys!') with breathtaking views of familiar city skylines and Norwegian fjords masquerading as some Asian inter-border war zone. Guess what ? They pulled it off... the Irreversibly Monetized Franchise delivered on all counts. Let us hope the next message they receive will provide more inspiration - or the IMF may simply Fall to Pieces, for all its superb filming and awe-striking stunts.",4 "I can't believe the way this show was hyped , o remember reading one headline for the pilot "" puts the Walking Dead to shame"" that to me is utter nonsense and if anything it's the other way around. After being thoroughly underwhelmed by the pilot i watched the rest of it hoping it would get better but to be honest it didn't really , not much happened , it's watchable and ok but just a bit dull and lifeless . To me the plot didn't seem very well thought out and I was left guessing what was supposed to be going on and the lack of depth to the characters kind of made me not fully engage or care. I will probably watch the next season but I'm not going to be all that excited about it's release date.",7 "It was worth a watch because it was only six episodes long, but really not sure to call it a great show. I didn't mind the happy ending that much per se but the way it was done was unsatisfied and then when I think about all those unanswered and plot points that were simply abandoned by the writers I can't give the series more than a 6.",6 "first time i see the trailer of this movie, i'm so excited,and wait for the movie to come out. but when i see the movie. i think this movie a little bit boring, the character Dr.stone .. at the beginning of the movie , she said to be the most genius among its comrade, but she to dumb to use a lot of her oxygen, she's to panic to become the astronaut. why N.A.S.A put her on the space if he doesn't have a good psychology i think the director should be more realistic about the real event Dr.stone is to nervous,shes to mellow compared to her comrade,he was calm,identify the situation carefully ""Gravity"" has a heck of a lot going for it. First of all, it's a great survival story. It follows in the footsteps of ""Apollo 13,"" ""Cast Away,"" ""The Grey,"" and many other tales of man (or in this case woman) vs. nature. There are a lot of horrific ways to die and spinning off into space has got to be pretty high up there (no pun intended). ""Gravity"" takes that basic fear of helplessness and uses it to underpin every action scene in this movie. I'm an action movie aficionado and I can't remember the last time a movie made me hold my breath like ""Gravity"" did. And there are few environments as unique, deadly and beautiful as space to set a survival story in. If you're a fan of action or survival dramas, you'll really enjoy this.",2 great direction with mindblowing perfoemance laced with soul stirring music makes it best ever movie..Hrithik lived as akbar no one can replace him .aish is good...asuthosh one of best director to make period film entertaining..arr music extrordinary..cant pick one best song..watch this movie and experience the magic..,10 "Bad acting? Check. Fires in space? Check. Teenage meltdowns? Check. This is mediocre at best. If you are into family dramas and can dismiss the bad science and horrid acting then you are in luck. I'm going to try hard to finish the series but it might take awhile.",5 "I only give Superbad a 2 because I do like the young actors, but the material and script they were given was just too unbelievable, unfunny, and unnecessarily gross to be entertaining. I very rarely give up on a movie, and almost always watch until the end, no matter how bitter, but I gave up on this one due to sheer boredom. During the cop/mclovin/cocaine party, my wife and I looked at each other and it was obvious we both had lost interest in what had started as a coming of age teen movie but had become a how gross and stupid can we be movie. Show more of the cute girls, and awkward boy girl moments, not the hard to believe and out of character middle of the movie, which just did not ring true and was not entertaining. I highly DO NOT recommend this movie. Knocked Up was a mixed bag, with the boy girl interaction decent, but the porn site nerd friends unnecessary and unfunny. Superbad was all porn site nerd friends, and super unfunny.",2 "Despite some injections and some characters being swapped and some changes to the story which are not needed (magic eels as magic conduits, etc) this can be a great show. for future seasons (1) stop the out of order storytelling (2) indicate dates on scenes - especially if out of order storytelling is being used (3) do not make changes to the lore (like the eels and the like) and (4) try to indicate location and a distance from somewhere to that scene's location. most of the cities and places are very non-descript and just generic backdrops.",1 I think the idea is great and all but honestly for a movie about feminism the most enjoyable parts were the ken parts and its nothing we've never seen/heard before you know. Like the whole speech part ive heard all that a million trillion times. I struggled so hard to get through the movie the plot was hard to follow and the 'barbieland' doesnt really make sense. I also thought some stuff was just ridiculous like how they travel to the 'real world'. And im saying this as a woman and all but i think they could of done such a better job with a feminst movie honestly. Idk how people were crying im sorry JSHDS.,3 "Production: Great script. The writing on this series is excellently nuanced. Good smooth editing. Excellent musical score. The Loki theme song matches the mysteriousness of the show. Solid sets, but sometimes you can tell that the characters are in front of a green screen. Also, during some of the fighting scenes you can tell when their stunt double is in. 9/10. On screen: Great acting overall. Tom Hiddleston's performance is nuanced and believable as Loki. Additionally, Owen Wilson (Mobius), Sophia Di Martino (Sylvie), Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Ravonna Renslayer) and Jonathan Majors (He Who Remains) performances are also fantastic. Solid cinematography. I can't get past how some scenes bookmark the actors are in front of green screens. 9/10. Content/Impact: Kate Herron is the director of this series and she did a wonderful job. Hopefully, her work will help inspire other women to want more roles behind the scenes. Also, hopefully this will open doors for more production agencies to be open to hire more women directors. As you well know, Loki is the first LBGT+ character introduced into the Marvel Universe. Although this is good for diversity, the mentioning of his sexuality didn't really add anything to this particular story. Lastly, of course they make the boastful Loki black. This portrayal just adds on to the many stereotypes the media likes to portray black men. 6/10. Overall: Good series with great performances that impacts the next phase of the MCU. 8/10.",8 "This production closely follows the ""all is lost"" plot of ""I Am Legend"". Something evil takes over the human race and only a few survivors are left to pick up the pieces. Out there, somewhere, is a sanctuary if you can get to it. It has its moments of suspense. Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich save it with strong performances, along with a couple other actors. But overall a mild disappointment. Has John Malkovich ever been in a movie where he wasn't on the edge of deranged? Sandra Bullock has done some good work when she's outside of the ""hot woman next door"" model, including this. It kept my attention for two hours, but I did fast-forward to get to the end as it dragged a bit.",4 "I can't remember of a movie this bad, everything from the story to the acting and the special effects ... EVERYTHING here looks bad, how can sane people like this I can't understand, dumb people may be liking to be fed dumb things.",3 "What a warm & hilarious show with jackhammer level speed of jokes. This show is everything people told me that The Office is, but wasn't. 8,5/10.",8 "I went into the cinema to see this film with sky high expectations given the domestic and international reviews of it. Phrases like ""modern classic"" and ""landmark film"" made me think that I was in for something truly special in terms of film history along the lines of Citizen Kane and The Godfather. Turns out I wasn't, well not all the way anyway. I won't bother with the whole plot line, since it's very sprawling and complicated, but suffice it to say that my main disappointment with the film stems from the fact that the thematics of the story simply are too limited and ordinary compared to the potential impact of the film's gimmick: the fact that you can enter somebody's dream to steal information or plant ideas. The plot revolves mainly around industrial espionage, a theme which simply does nothing for me emotionally. Who cares if one industrial tycoon wants to stop another? The dream concept of the film is truly magical and innovative and is a very compelling feature of the film itself. But why in heaven's name marry it to something as pointless as industrial espionage? What happened to something like the fight for world domination? It would have given the film infinitely more punch if the plot had centered around some political intrigue in stead. Especially given the unstable nature of the world today with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, huge climate issues, and so forth. The subplot involving Leonardo DiCaprio and Marion Cotillard's characters to me comes off very flat, their on screen chemistry not being very strong. This is a shame, for the premise of the subplot has great emotional potential. All in all, somewhat of a disappointment, despite the wallop one inevitably receives from the film's take on the concept of entering someone else's dreams.",7 Everyone knows why this film was made sdffhkhfutecjhvkbujfc,1 "After seeing what the writers did with Rosario in Iron Fist I am hesitant to keep watching, hopefully these 8 episodes will go by quick. Or maybe the writers listened to the fans and dialed her character back a few notches.",5 "Very hard to watch and just said this was happening all over the country in those days just treated blacks like nothing wasn't regarded as humans and just treated as animals i can't watch another one it makes me sick and for whites today to act like nothing happen and we should forget and not be upset yeah OK y'all enjoy the privileges of slavery everyday all that free labor for nothing. its just incredible to see its very devastating to watch and this is just one story there are so many more that have went unnoticed. But back to the movie and story at hand. I couldn't finish it cause i was just heart broken and touched by it. but i don't think it was a great story line nor were the actors that great but hey so did he even get his freedom back i don't know but that first beating seen was sick but i like when he beat that white guy ass when he was working on the house lol but that's probably as far as i got it just sad but hey its America smh. Thank god for Abraham Lincoln finally freeing the slaves but we still had it bad until about the 1970's. Why bring us here if you hated us so much just disgraceful but they only did that so they can gain power as which they have today. lazy cowards shows you how hateful a masses of people or race could be towards another human being dating that far back but don't get me wrong even in Jesus days they were very hateful and cruel and beat tortured and raped people so its just the way this world is Satan is alive and well but hopefully judgement day come soon and fast.",5 "A few people mentioned The Boys, but none were effusive about it. So my expectations were that it would be ok, but not great. I'm glad to say my expectations were wrong. It's at the other end of the scale from the excellent Marvel films, which unflinchingly portray heroic superheroes; much closer to the Marvel series like Jessica Jones, that delve into the psyche of the heroes themselves. Unlike Marvel's heroes, those in The Boys aren't just flawed, they are convincingly broken. The subtext, the shocking brutality, the corporate manipulation, the impotence or obliviousness of ordinary people and the terrifying prospect of such power in the hands of charismatic, amoral celebrity makes for an outstanding alternative to the superhero mythos; one that is almost believable (bad physics notwithstanding). Add some excellent acting, especially from Homelander, and this is a series you should watch.",9 "Periodicals are my preference so I was super pumped for this film. I didn't make it past the opening scene lol. Dean-Charles Chapman was cast as a starving teen soldier in WWI. He and his mate are walking back to camp complaining about how hungry they are, yet Chapman looks like he's had a couple slices in between each take they've shot. I don't know how anyone is supposed to take this film seriously when you can't even cut the weight to play the part. The film may have been better than I've rated it but I just can't waste 2 hours of my life watching something when the star's character isn't believable. Try again Hollywood.",1 "The movie is about an invisible beauty, not! The director left the viewers to decide, we don't know for certain what's the nature of these entities is. It is a supernatural horror, mystery film with a little of drama, I believe it is mysterious because it misses a lot of expositions, you can guess and say they are monsters or creature of some kind for instance blackhole livings or something but the truth is unknown. I rated the film 7 because it's bang average.It has a medium intensity, a little machination and a little entertainment it works just fantastically if you're bored. Overall it was almost forgettable and not exceptional experience with a frustrating ending and some will deem it insulting. I have regard for the concept, but it could have been better! The plot is pretty good in theory however, they went wrong and made plain mistakes by making each death expected, predictable and almost set-up. I can say that the movie is saved from a total disgrace by dint of Sandra Bullock's talent. Regrettably I feel pretty let down. I wouldn't say it's a bad film the performance cast is great and the premise is fine but all of it is potentially lame.",7 "This is is just amazing, excellent, mind-blowing everything. Loved the background music in the movie which lifted it to new heights. Every one must watch the Movie. Really great and salute to INDIAN ARMY🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳.",9 My rating is only based on season 1. The review of other seasons are quite terrible so didn't bother to even start watching. Pretending season 1 is the only season and the journey has been depressing and amazing!,9 "Fascinating action scenes, and it all came down to the point where all the Marvels heroes must fight to prove a point. All I can say is that I enjoyed the movie, and will definitely watch it again.",9 "Lord know why anyone would give this movie any kind of satisfactory rating. Even if you were satisfied with the production/art value of this film which was truly minimal, the story writing and acting was horrid. I think some folks have made a deal about this film being female centric but if you have no character development or story line, what investment do you have in supporting a film of this type. Continuity has awful, the imagery was nonsensical, and plot line was just ridiculous. The biggest disappointment I had was in myself for not walking out before the end credits. Did I mention I braved a blizzard just to see this movie because I saw a rating of 7.4 stars? What madness!",2 "So boring we had to skip to the ""crazy"" plot twist at the end which was also boring.",3 "If you are pet lover , uh can watch this movie If you are not a pet lover , uh should definitely watch this master piece . Very good movie . P.s Dont Cry.",10 "Didn't really care for the film when it was first announced mostly because of the odd looking animation and the character Miles Morales, who I'm not a fan of, in this case screamed ""Look! black Spider-Man gets his own movie now!"" all over. But after the overwhelming praise this film got, it's every detail from animation to story-telling receiving colossal praise, I had to see it. With all the hype, I thought I was gonna watch a masterpiece that would blow me away and boy, was I wrong. The only thing I enjoyed about this film were some dialogues from classic Spider-Man and noir, Miles felt extremely generic, another story of how someone who isn't talented or capable at first BUT gets better because he ""believes in himself."" of course. The villains in this are just so bad. We have one villain for a simple emotional twist, throw away villains like the FEMALE Doc Ock, Tombstone and Scorpion. And Kingpin another attempt with the overused ""sympathetic villain"" trope who's design is absolutely horrendous, it literally looks like his head is attached to his chest, they could have at least given him his classic white suit which they of course didn't. The plot is extremely generic and predictable, it has some decent moments but overall nothing memorable. Don't get me started on the god awful soundtrack. My main problem with this film is the PC, SJW, diversity angle. It's just extremely conspicuous how there's such a HUGE amount of colored people even at a prestigious school that according to liberals are filled with the white privileged elite, it's just so ironic at this point. Even the villains. Either my standards are too high or everyone else's have lowered drastically. I love being proven wrong, I had low expectations when seeing Logan and John Wick 2 and I ended up loving those films. Either this movie is for a certain demographic of specific age or I'm one of the few insane people that think it's extremely overrated. Spider-Man 3 was at least entertaining, this is above everything is just boring.",5 "Mina's Character is awful. Only distanced in her absurdity by ""Dr. Smith,"" who seems to not have a plot line that doesn't involve subterfuge and deceit. It's fairly annoying watching everyone's oblivious handling of their idiocy. That being said, I otherwise really enjoy this show. The science is hokey, but so was the original. If you can suspend your disbelief (as in all sci-fi shows) you're sure to enjoy the cinematography at the very least and possibly get lost in the saga that is the Robinson's adventure.",7 The best marvel series it will open too many doors for The MCU from the multiverse.,9 Just Watched it twice in a row to get the whole story. What a screenplay.,10 "Every single scene of the movie was amazing. Every person responsible for the film (actors and the people behind the scene),did a fantastic job. Loved the film. What got me the most was the way the character DON, in the airport, threw the blade and he steps in again for a the checkin. So beautifully and metaphorically written. It's like he is throwing away his old life and stepping into his own only then. And the way he acted that part.. simply amazing. It wasn't acting. It truly was heartfelt by the way he cried. As if he realised who is in now and completely healed and ready to step into his full potential. It made me cry. That heartfelt cry and the hug to his coach (without whose support he wouldn't have been there). Simply beautifully woven emotions. Beautiful film. My gratitude to everyone responsible for being selfless and giving hope to lives that couldn't have imagined such a life.",10 "If you enjoy an hour of watching people screaming at each other, you'll love this. In nearly every episode, no, make that every episode, the adults are always screaming at each other; the children are continually screaming at each other; the plot is childish and simplistic. Yes, it's watchable, but barely. Keep your hand on the volume and fast forward buttons and you can skip a lot of the nonsense. Season 1 was the best, but it went downhill from there. By the time I got to season 3, I was able to shorten every episode from about an hour to only about 30 minutes of viewing time - and I didn't even miss a single thing. The actors could be good, given better roles, Winona Ryder was a big disappointment, and became almost a comical character.",5 "If Kevin Fiege wants us to sit through these 6 hours long garbages to understand future MCU movies then he needs to stop. Wandavision and FWS are major letdowns. The plots don't make sense or serve anything! Specially the FWS. The same old superserum plotline but with boring writing and characters. Who want to loss precious 6hours of their life watching this 10minutes plot line??? Come on MCU, you can do better than this. Don't force us to watch these garbages just for the sake of understanding future movies.",2 "To be honest i could watch the first season. Its not what i would invite my friends over to watch, but it was fine. Something to watch when you were bored and there was nothing else to watch. But season two? The first episode started off with the classical «where am i» sequence, either lost in space or time as any sci-fi or horror series will introduce when the budget is starting to strangle them and they just need to write something. I got bored and just skipped the first episode, because i've seen it before in every show known to man. I'm at episode three now, but im considering just quitting and watch something ludacris as The Simpsons instead. This series is a huge disappointment.",5 Had to stop somewhere in the middle because the acting with fake Russian accent and the one sided American portraying of Russia was awful and full of prejudices.,1 Anyone get vibes that this was essentially the same story as when Homer and Mr Burns got trapped in the cabin during an avalanche?,5 "Too many plot holes. Kinda dumb stories. Starts out pretty good though. Also can't get over the decision to make Hannibal a German.",5 Season 2 went from a show for adults too a show for teens and kids. The only thing season 2 did better than season 1 is the CGI. And also the pacing feelt really messy. It's kinda hard too keep track of the lore.,4 "I enjoyed the film while watching it in the theater, it certainly has some entertaining action and some funny moments, but it's just a average movie. A good movie for watching with a group of friends or family but nothing special.",6 "Although this film is about a horrifying true story, one cannot help thinking its pretty funny really. I know that is a terrible thing to say and the humour in it is a very subtle humour. Here you got those parts of the States which Personally I would most like to visit, which is not the common choice, I know. You got Bushemi at his best here, as wacky as he can get. Check it out! However our hero in this movie is a pregnant cop lady, so wonderful, so simple, lacking all tensions in the midst of this horrifying nightmarish hunt. This to me is the Coen brothers at their tops. I like their work a lot, although they are not always as consistent, they can be can make some great work and Fargo is definitely one of their greats.",9 "This is undoubtedly one of the greatest TV series ever created. Sure, there are minor things that could be complained about, but they are irrelevant. The sheer beauty and magic of this world seems to bring it to life as you watch. While the backdrop world is no Middle-Earth, it is extremely well developed. The animation is beautiful, as is the bending the characters do. What really sets Avatar apart though, is its representation of good vs evil. It shows repeatedly that positive emotion and love can always triumph in a realistic, not cheesy way. A large part of the show has significant eastern-spiritual influence, which is surprising and wonderful to see in a cartoon, and Aang often meditates and has knowledge of quite a bit Zen teaching. Anyways, I highly recommend this show, and don't let the fact that it's on a kids' cartoon channel put you off. Highly recommended for all ages.",10 "The story line is good, but the side mirrors on green car at the start kept coming back after been broken by truck.",7 "Its not scienfiction movie like thor or end game its should have to be reality.one people kill all army police elite force ,its totally logicless.like bollywood movie by the way i am bored to see whole time fighting without story",4 Very boring movie made by Anurag my expectations is very high from him.,1 "Awful, Complete Disappointment. It was very difficult to continue watching. Childish waste of time! Cold & Empty. This show was really for poor me. Don't waste your time. Unwatchable. Very disappointing result sadly from one of my favorite directors. Cringe. TERRIBLE! Worst results I've witnessed. Wrong actress to play the role I'm sure someone else would have played it better I cant compare it to Christina Ricci' she was so much better and yet I see so many people overrating and exaggerating the actress whos playing the role, I feel like they have ruined one of my favorite TV families for me in this show, I would advice others not to watch it if they dont want the Adams family to be ruined for them.",1 "I can't believe they still make such dumb movies. Only in Hollywood, I guess. On the good side, Red Sparrow has some interesting aspects. The scenes illustrating psychological oppositions are strong an compelling. Ms Lawrence, who, I must admit, I had never seen before (I gather she was featured in youngster-oriented action movies), plays those scenes with excellent aplomb. I really look forward to seeing her in other films worthy of her talent. But I was truly upset with all those actors having adopted some pseudo-Russian accent. The action takes place in Russia, for the most part, with characters presented as Russians. We don't need a fake accent to remind us. This sounded like a throwback to the US quasi-propaganda films of the 1970s or 1980s, displaying the evil Soviets, but not as much as the disgusting cruelty featured in so many scenes. Was it necessary to be so graphic? These cheaply disturbing scenes made the movie a waste of talent and a waste of viewers' time.",4 "Let's take two good actors and mix them with a little Japanese scenery, put some irrelevant dialogue and couple of significant stares..voila! We made a hit! No, no, no.. this movie is so boooring I fast forwarded half of it. No plot, mediocre acting, no fun, nothing. Coppola was better in Godfather (then you know how bad this movie is). I can't even criticize it enough because nothing happens. There's absolutely nothing to write about, just that I lost hour and half on nothing. I could have been watching paint dry and it would give me the same feeling. Maybe these two protagonists could get real jobs, you know, something physical or something to do with their hands so they are not so bored and depressed all the time. Or they could just kill themselves. Either way, nobody would care. They're irrelevant. The movie is irrelevant. And boring as hell. Thank you for your attention.",1 "Extraction. Some Indian actors completely butchered the language and most Dhaka based characters in the film sounded like they are from West Bengal As Covid-19 lockdown continues in Bangladesh, every film lovers' eyes were on Netflix this Friday as they dropped their latest original film Extraction starring Hollywood superstar Chris Hemsworth. The whole country was eagerly waiting for the action-packed film since the Thor famed actor shared images from the shoot on the set of the film on his official Facebook page in November, 2018. The backdrop American action thriller Extraction, previously titled Dhaka, was greenlit back in 2017 by Netflix and is the directorial debut of famous Hollywood stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave. His titles include Hunger Games and several action films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The screenplay was written by Joe Russo, based on the comic book Cuidad by Ande Parks, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Fernando Leon Gonzalez, and Eric Skillman. The film is a co-production between Avengers: Infinity War (2018) directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo's (commonly known as Russo brothers) independent production company AGBO and Netflix. The lead cast Hemsworth is also one of the producers in the project. The film was mainly shot in India's Ahmedabad and Mumbai in November 2018 and some shots were taken in Thailand and Dhaka, Bangladesh. The film's production began in Ahmedabad and Mumbai in November 2018. The plot Tyler Rake, played by Chris Hemsworth, is a fearless black-market mercenary who is hired to rescue Ovi, played by Rudraksh Jaiswal, the kidnapped son of an imprisoned Indian crime lord. The kidnapping was done by a Dhaka based international drug lord which pushes Tyler into a deadly and almost impossible mission to Dhaka to save Ovi from the drug lord and his massive force of goons and bribed law enforcement members. The rights Extraction takes its audience from Dhaka to Mumbai to Australia and back, giving us a picture of the interconnected drug traffic ring in South Asia. The two-hour-long film is dark and raw from start to end and every action film lover's dream. Not even a single action sequence of the film was ever exactly shot in Bangladesh except some plate shots for establishment, including the iconic action sequence at Sultana Kamal bridge near Demra. Chris Hemsworth never set foot in Dhaka yet the audience felt he was blazing his guns around Old Dhaka. All of the shots were taken in Ahmedabad and Mumbai. Hats off to the production design team behind the project who had done an excellent job of recreating Old Dhaka in Ahmedabad with such attention to details from the vehicles, to posters in streets, to every single sign board of each shop in each sequence. Russo brothers and Hargrave visited Dhaka couple of times but as Dhaka is not a very production friendly city, they just shot some establishment shots. As the director and producers of the project are the masterminds behind the Avengers franchise, not a single action sequence will let the audience down. The long yet fast paced follow shots during the action sequences are a treat to experience. Hemsworth gave his absolute best playing the role of a hired black-market mercenary. The wrongs Except for the smartly handled production design choices, action packed fight sequences, and Hemsworth's Asgardian god like charms nothing else really works in the movie. The screenplay is poorly written and lacks emotion. Though this is a spoiler free review yet there is really nothing more to the story line. The film feels like a two hour long fight sequence with some bandage breaks like a PUBG match on your phone. We see a Bangladeshi drug lord kidnap an Indian crime lord's son and Tyler is unleashed to extract him from Dhaka. But why the big names of the subcontinental criminal underworld came to this rivalry, why these desperate measures are unclear. Another problematic thing is the portrayal of Bangladesh's law enforcement agencies. Every agency including the police, a fictional force named ""Elite"" which looked like Bangladesh's Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), and even the Bangladeshi military were portrayed to the worldwide audience that they were controlled and bribed by Dhaka based international drug cartels which is fictional but still problematic. It paints a picture to the world that Dhaka is like Medellin in Colombia during the Pablo Escobar era which is far from true. The screenplay could have supported some residents or law enforcement officers who were not criminals or involved in drug rings to balance this but every scene of Dhaka felt very wrongly portrayed. Then comes the main issue of the whole film, the Indian actors who played Bangladeshi roles. Not a single one of them was talking Bangla in a ""Dhakaite"" accent or even a Bangladeshi one. Some Indian actors were completely butchering the language and most Dhaka based characters in the film sounded like they had a West Bengal based accent and pronunciation. Bangladeshi netizens were quick to respond to this error and complained that the producers of the film did not give attention to the language at all and how no one in Dhaka speaks like the way these characters in this film do. The creators of the project should have kept in mind that Bangla language is the quintessential element of Bengali identity and they are the only nation who had given their lives for their mother tongue. So a faulty dialect of this language will become a sensitive issue for the Netflix users of this country. Another huge issue was the acting of the kidnapped kid Ovi, played by Indian actor Rudraksh Jaiswal. As one of the lead characters of the film and having a huge screen time his acting weakness bores the viewers. Most of his dialogue deliveries are typical Bollywood melodrama and in some scenes beside Hemsworth he seems redundant and ridiculous. Conclusion The Bangla language and Bangladeshi people, more accurately Dhaka's residents, were not accurately portrayed in Extraction. Yet it marks the beginning of an era where the stories of the capital of this small nation are being told by the Hollywood infrastructure to the whole world for the very first time on this scale. Events like these are important for Bangladesh and its filmmakers to create the urge in them to craft such stories on a massive scale for the global audience; stories which will be the accurate representations of the rich history, heritage and diversity of our beloved Dhaka.

The nonlinearity doesn't serve the script and takes away from the suspense.,3 "This movie was a disappointment of the year. You dont need money to make a good movie you need a good story. Almost every Netflix movie is a disaster! They are wasting our money! Dont watch this one, I bet you have better things to do.",1 The title says it all. It's like a parody of itself.,3 "You know its sh%t, when you see so many blindly done 10 ratings. Reviews should be something which should contain both positive s and negatives of what you are going into, this is the worst review thread since Dil bechara.",1 "It must be me, but it bothers me seeing all these people flipping about this movie, like it's the greatest thing they've ever seen in their life's when they are going to forget it after 2-3 weeks, but they must love it in order to be ""cool"". I don't blame them, I mean its been years and years since the last big great blockbuster has been shown in cinemas and they forgot what a good movie should be. Action: 9/10 Drama: 0/10 Story: 2/10 Character: haha Dialog: if it wasn't for the ""hilarious jokes"" there wouldn't be dialog at all, so 1/10. It was fun and fast only because of the action and nothing else. It's strange how you can make tons of money just by filming action and only action these days. I don't know, I prefer movies with a story, plots, twists, subplots, character depth, meaningful dialog, good music. To connect with something, not just with my pop-corn and soda. I can do that anytime I want for the love of god. To me this movie was bland, shallow, just entertaining to kill 2 and half hours and thats about it. The actors are great, I give you that but they don't make the movie great. It's like Marvel is on a loose feeling safe and secure with their huge fan-base and not putting enough effort into the films anymore. Hell, even BvS was better than this one. Anyway 5/10 due to the action and the actors, other than that would've been complete failure.",5 "I don't even understand how this is getting such good reviews. This was the WORST HORROR FILM IVE EVER SEEN. ""Oh yeah let's get possessed and laugh about it."" The characters are annoying and unrelatable. Stupid concept. Poor execution. A24 tries way too hard. Poor acting. I can't even believe I sat through this. I was praying so much for it to get better. It just kept getting worse. It's so far fetched. I don't know what kind of teenagers would see each other getting possessed and turn it into a game. This was like a Saturday Night Live Skit. Awful. Awful. Awful. Don't waste your time on this one.",1 "Second horrible. While the first series keeps you in tension and you can't wait for the next episode, the second is boring and you are waiting something to happen in the plot. Third series is simply a disaster in all aspects: bad evil russians - do they really need to mix politics even here? I thought they can create something more unique, with Russian spot they simply destroyed the whole show and became another boring predictable tv show.. monster can find/sense the kids on miles, but when the monster is in the mall, can't find them behind the car? very poor and long dialogues who's the spectator - kids? adults? families? Huge huge disappointment, and I hope they will end the whole show.. It can't be even compared to Dark, where the next series is much better than the first one, and even the first one was absolutely great.",1 "8.9 points, number two is big. It has no beginning, no end. An unknown series.",3 "I can't say that series 1 (7/10) was fantastic. It was on par with the Guy Richie Sherlock films, but I was feeling generous with the 7/10. Then series 2 (10/10) and 3 (10/10) come along. Mind blowing. With much better stories and characters, each episode in series 2 got better, with the 3rd being perhaps the greatest episode of a TV series I've ever seen. Series 3 followed up with more or less the standard anyone who had seen series 2 could expect. With even more story and characters, I was shocked when I learned that series 4 would be a couple of years away. The episodes follow armature detectives Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, in 21st century London. With multiple other characters from the Sherlock books appearing (Mycroft, Moriarty, Irene etc) it somehow all molded together excellently. What else is good about the second and third series apart from, EVERYTHING? Oh yeah, great soundtrack and really compelling and surprising stories. 1 is somewhat, although the signature acting held up the somewhat slow episodes. The episodes are like mini movies (1 hours 30 minutes), but well worth it. Summary: Series 1: 7/10, Good Series 2 and 3: 10/10, Near Perfect",9 "I thought some of the ideas in this show were good, but it dragged on and was boring at times, despite it being only 7 episodes. I felt like it was a bit chaotic, and too much was going on. The twist was a bit silly to me. Sometimes less is more. Great acting from everyone, especially Winslet. I feel like the writer copied a few ideas from Happy Valley though.",6 "Im like this film what i do not know what is going to happen. Not as in Captain América 1:the firts avenger. Too not only fight captain América if not also other characters I also represents that no matter how old you are you can still fight.",8 "As enjoyable as any individual portion of this film may be, the very fact that we have to digest it in ""portions"" points to the ineluctable fact that it is poorly scripted. The first half or so is a feast for '60s nostalgia fans, who will get some enjoyment from trying to name all the brands and trends, as well as film trivia, mixed in with enough portent in the names and settings that we all know - or think we know - what is about to happen next. Fun enough, but just as this starts to get old, it breaks off into a European foray, fast-forwarded through by an omniscient ""narrator"", though no previous or subsequent portion of the film was to use narration. Then, as if all of that had never happened, we are returned pretty much to where we left off to witness the slam-bang ending and surrealist outcome. This disjointed artifice notwithstanding, the writers and editors were still unable to keep it at less than 2 hours 40 minutes. The film abounds with talent, from great acting to splendid cinematography, dazzling costumes and props; almost enough to save it. But when all this dazzle is in service to such a disjointed, rambling and uneven script, one is left wondering what about it was worth spending the last two and a half hours upon.",6 "Rarely comes a movie, which makes you think even after you left the cinema hall. Jhund is one of those movies, which makes you think about the realities around you. Realities which are part of our daily life but we choose to ignore them purposely, while living in our own bubble. Story, direction, screenplay everything is near perfect.",10 "I think DiCaprio was only cast as J. Gatsby because of his looks. His affected accent was inconsistent throughout the film. Part southern drawl, part New England, and mostly just DiCaprio made it impossible to focus on any acting he may have been doing. And was he really supposed to look like a young, blond Orson Welles? I also had a serious problem with the music in the film. Sorry, but there was no rap in the 1920's. Just guessing, but could that be the influence of ""Jay Z."" as a producer? Jazz was just being recognized as music in the early 1920's, and I feel rap was a poor substitution. The outdoor sets also left something to be desired. Watching actors walk across AstroTurf as opposed to a well-manicured lawn was definitely a poor choice. Overall, I feel this movie was poorly conceived and executed.",3 "This felt like a bad B movie with a big budget. It was cliché and unimaginative in every single way. I'm really shocked that Sandra agreed to do this, then again, good scripts are in very short supply these days. Where is the plot structure? It's supposed to go: introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution. All this movie had was introduction and action that stays pretty flat through-out and then it just stops. A proper resolution would've wrapped things up and explained what was happening. I'm so over this trend of plotless movies. I can't help but wonder if America's declining educational system has seeped into Hollywood. People don't know how to properly wrap up a story so they just decide that they won't. It worked as a novelty for all of five minutes and now it's way past it's prime. Time to find a new gimmick, Hollywood. I gave it four stars for the quality and acting.",4 "The main actor is great, the rest seems really B grade and hard to watch. I found it quite boring too. Also I couldn't get over how the police let the dad get involved so much in all the details the police knew, seemed very unrealistic to me, like the writers didn't even consult a police officer about their procedures. But then I read a spoiler review and I guess then I see why people have it such high ratings. The twists and turns Sounded good. But I couldn't get over the weird style, crap acting and poor story line at the start to give it more than 30 minutes of my time.",4 I recommend you drop your all work and watch tvf pitchers you guys really enjoy this masterpiece...💓💓💓💓💓,10 "Monica O My Darling is an edge of a thriller, the one which keep you hooked to your screen and stick to your chair. Rajkumar Rao's performance is phenomenal and Radhika Apte is a one which adds more intrigue to already suspenseful narrative. Huma Qureshi give justice to her character. The dark comedy as the genre is called is fantastically treated by the directer Vasan Bala. The movie should be watched for its brilliant performances,exciting story line, edge on the seat thrill and mind boggling suspense. One of the best in the recent releases to be worth watchable. Moreover if you don't like such kind of cinema than also it is not boring and worth watching.",8 "I am shocked how well this movie has done among IMDb users and critics. The cast is amazing, but the movie is truly terrible. I walked out of Rushmore and would have done the same here. The characters were annoying, the dialog pointless and I was just waiting for it to end. Bleh. I did not understand why any of the characters acted the way the did. The little cuts that Anderson employees so freely for dramatic effect just seemed pointless. There was a sequence where there were cuts between different hotel managers that was funny through two cuts and then just dragged on and on as each manager had to stop what he was doing and put his Boy in charge. That is this movie in a nutshell -- it dragged on and on. That could have been interesting to see how a whole network of hotel managers could have been activated, but it just ends up being pointless.",5 "This series goes in a different direction than other Disney plus shows. Disney thank you for not censoring it as much as you did for the falcon and the winter soldier. I loved that it showed blood, and did take a pretty dark from the other shows. Oscar Isaac's performance as both Marc Spector, and Steven Grant is amazing, how he changes characters is just flawless, he suits the roll like Robert Downey Jr as ironman and J. K Simmons as J Jonah Jameson. Ethan Hawke also does a really well performance as Harrow who is the best MCU villain in a TV show.",8 "We all cry out for ""next episode"" films when we've loved the first one; but like naughty children, we shouldn't always be indulged in our desires. Iron Man II's Goliath has made a David out of the funny, quirky first film. Poor old messianic Iron Man. Even Robert Downey Jr's considerable charm couldn't quite overcome the pointlessness of this film, which is a pity: Favreau had a ready-made audience, eager for more; he could have taken chances, had a really punchy script and dealt with something bigger and nastier than Iron Man's glimpse of his own mortality. One newspaper review commented on how ""Stark arrogantly states 'I've successfully privatised world peace'"", and I agree: it's monstrously arrogant. Whoever wants world peace privatised anyway? Isn't it a civic, national and international duty to help keep the peace? Or is this another illustration of the US's pathological hatred of ""central"" governance? Yawn. Or perhaps it's just go-it-alone isolationism? Double yawn. Elsewhere the film was teeming with underused but well-played characters: Mickey Rourke's surprisingly effective villain, hamstrung by his crude and ultimately ineffective weapon not once but twice (a scary whip? Again?!); Scarlett Johansson doing a pretty good job considering her ""reveal"" doesn't really go anywhere (and reviews that say she's just there as eye candy are unfair, she has at least one good fight scene); Gwyneth Paltrow's cute Pepper Potts gone all shrewish – why?; Don Cheadle and Samuel L, serious acting talent, with nothing much to do - what are Shield doing in this anyway? Much of the story was crowded, boring and inexplicable, and I count it as a bad thing when I find myself actually welcoming another brainless action sequence. I once heard Paul Hogan touting ""Crocodile Dundee II"", and his use of the expression ""it's a good product"", was like a death knell. Well, when I heard Jon Favreau talking about this film, although to be fair these press things must be mind-numbingly awful – he made it sound like just an item on his CV: another death knell. Without passion, ""Iron Man II"" was always just going to be just a day at the office. Maybe we all expect too much; here's hoping number three just goes back to being good, simple entertainment.",5 "Jason Segel is a musician living with TV star Kristen Bell, who dumps him. Not handling it well, he decides to run off to a resort in Hawaii that Bell liked, only to immediately run into her with her new boyfriend rock star Russell Brand. Luckily for him, romance blooms with resort employee Mila Kunis. There's something about this film that doesn't exactly work for me. It's a funny film (at least it is after the first half hour when it finally hits the resort), but I'm constantly confronted with the fact that thoroughly average looking, perfectly nice but nothing spectacular Segel is so seismically beyond Kunis's league that I can't help focusing on what fantasy it's trying to fulfill. It seems like an essential part of the Judd Apatow brand that thoroughly average, stunningly flawed men can find love with nearly perfect women just by being minimally nice people ... or at least they SHOULD (emphasis mine). How much does this bother me? Not a ton, but if it did bother someone a lot I wouldn't blame them. Personally, I was entertained, even though like most comedies of this era, it's overstuffed with extraneous nonsense (no matter how much I liked him on ""30 Rock"", drop Jack McBrayer's plot line from this film).",7 Season one was fresh and intersting. In my opion it should have been a mini-series. All other seasons apart season 1 are just repetitive and boring. One trick pony at best.,7 "Imagine a bad american sit-com, with cliched characters, terrible dialog and contrived situations. Add a ""weird element"" - in this case a time loop. Add it in the most forced, ridiculous way possible. Perhaps if you enjoyed Lost, then this may be for you. If you're looking for anything with depth or realism, look elsewhere!",4 "A self-congratulatory film by Martin Scorsese which attempts to rekindle memories of his mob masterpiece, Goodfellas. This 3-1/2 hour cinematic dirge is largely cast with those who hold both SAG and AARP cards; while these 70-plus year old leads are digitally ""de-aged"" in flashback scenes, their physical coordination and general demeanor make the action feel staged and unbelievable. Worse yet, the non-action drama is typically filled with old men kvetching (whining, grumbling and complaining for those who don't know a few words of Yiddish).",4 "First off, I think the show's production quality and acting are superb, just for that I recommend giving it a try. Secondly, this show really should have a fantasy as a genre in the title. The first 2 episodes were great they had me at the edge of the seat trying to figure this stuff out that was going on. After that the show fell off for me since they introduced supernatural elements to it. There is no point in police investigation really if you are just left guessing since it's a fantasy and they can come up with whatever explanation. I watched till the 5th episode. I had no clue it was based on a Stephen King's book, then I would have known it was going to include supernatural elements.",6 "Poor plot, poor acting especially cruise. An all round failure for me.",1 "While Disney and MCU are busy trying to shove political correctness down everyone's throats, along with ""the message"", Amazon is killing it with ""The Boys"". A gritty awesome super-heroes tv show that truly conveys what it would be like if super-heroes were real. Unmissable!",8 Very well in fact. But scince the introduction of the supernatural element and the 'investigator' character ( who is utterly unconvincing) it seems to be hurtling downhill ( well not hurtling so much as drifting off). Suddenly every scene seems overly long. A shame as I had some hopes for this...,4 "I know I'm bucking the trend here, but my wife and I just couldn't get into this film and abandoned it after forty minutes. We simply didn't like or identify with ANY of the characters, and thought both Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis were utterly wasted. After forty minutes, I think we SHOULD have had a better idea what the story was about and a handle on the roles involved. But the constant shifting left us shaking our heads with no real grounding but the basic idea of the story, which I think took FAR too long to get around to. Much of the early part of the film in the laundry added nothing and should have been cut. Scenes I'm sure were meant to be amusing didn't tickle our funny bone. I'm happy for everyone who enjoyed this film, but it's not for everyone, and we're in that crowd.",3 "This really is the most overhyped film in history. It's OK at best but is merely an ego trip for Sam Mendes. Why it got any awards I really don't understand. Hugely disappointing.",5 """Red Sparrow"" (2018 release; 139 min.) brings the story of Dominika. As the movie opens, Dominika cares for her ailing mother, and then, while dancing ballet at the Bolshoi suffers a brutal leg injury (accident? or not?). We then go the ""3 Months Later"", when Dominika is forced by her uncle, the Vice Deputy of Security, to go to training school for sparrows (in return for which her ailing mom receives medical care). Sparrows are used by Russia to compromise enemies of the state in any way possible. ""Every person is a human puzzle of need"", they are taught. Dominika is tasked with finding a mole high up in the Russian government... To tell you more of the plot would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out. Couple of comments: this movie marks the reunion of director Francis Lawrence and actress Jennifer Lawrence, who made 3 of the 4 Hunger Games movies before. Here they go a very different direction, namely an ol' fashioned spy thriller drama, as if we're back in the Cold War (and maybe we actually are). The movie is very plot-driven and, I must admit, quite convoluted, so pay attention! even then, there's a good chance you'll get lost during some parts along the way. Lawrence truly takes the movie on her shoulders, appearing in virtually all scenes, and no-one is going to out-tough Jennifer Lawrence! Speaking of Jennifer which: there are several extended torture scenes that are just brutal (I had to look away more than once). Besides Jennifer Lawrence, the movie also benefits from the performance of Belgium's Matthias Schoenaerts, in the role of the sinister no-good uncle. Charlotte Rampling equally delights in her small role as the sparrows teacher/trainer. The movie's production set is first class all the way, with Hungary standing in for Russia, and extended scenes in London and Vienna as well. Last but certainly not least, there is a warm orchestral score that plays prominently in the movie, courtesy of veteran composer James Newton Howard. ""Red Sparrow"" opened wide this weekend, and I couldn't wait to see it. The Saturday early evening screening where I saw this at here in Cincinnati was pretty much sold out, which is of course normal for a movie of this stature just opening. Whether it will have staying power, only time will tell. If you are a fan of a good spy story (even it it's a bit convoluted), or a fan of Jennifer Lawrence, you'll want to check this out, be it in the theater, on VOD, or eventually on DVD/Blu-ray.",6 "The story is so nice. It's simple but effective. They did a very nice job to adapt the story to a visual adventure. If you can get yourself to start the series without knowing anything about the plot, it is probably most rewarding to watch. I had to do my research upfront because I bought it and it wasn't too cheap - but even though I knew a little about the plot in advance, the experience was stunning. Some scenes were very unexpected and got me real good (not in a jump scare way). The atmosphere unfolds as the episodes go by. One thing that I did not like was that later on some episodes seemed somewhat stretchy to me. The first episodes completely needed those 55min long episodes; but as the series progressed, there were a few draggy moments. Nevertheless, it is a clear recommendation. No way around that.",8 "There is nothing happening in this movie, nothing. The most boring film ever made, many people at the cinema left in the middle of the movie. We made it all the way thru somehow, but we felt ripped off. It's worth seing it for the same reason people see ""The Room"" or other catastrophically bad movies just fur the fun of it. A true piece of crap. I gave it 2 stars for the cinematography and the effort put in by the actors.",2 I don´t get it! It is one the most seen netflix made series and it sucks. I stop watch after 2 episodes because I could take it. Its cheesy and jumps to fast from timelines to get into it. You want people to wanted to be sit on the egde of the there seats not on the edge of a building. I dont know if its the editing or story or directing or all three. The acting is good but the if they don´t have anything good to say or do then it all falls apart.,5 "And one more time Netflix bring to us a new excelent season of Stranger Things. The nice story continues interresting in this third season: a lot of character dinamics are developed and upgraded, new carismática character, a classic and still very well made 80's atmosphere and a threat interresting and captivating. The story is simples, but really well made and memorable, for sure stranger things is one of the best series today!",9 "If I would rank only the way that film looks, I would give it a 10/10 but I am not. CHRIST, NEWSFLASH KIDS THERE IS NOTHING ORIGINAL ABOUT THIS MOVIE. It is called Theory of relativity. Nolan proved once again that he is a great director. Unfortunately the script was very poorly written. When you make a movie based on physics YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT HOW LOVE TRANSCENDS DIMENSION. It was cliched, the dialog was cheesy and the monologues about love were embarrassing. It was inspired by 2001 a space odyssey, and Nolan added physics laws, which would have been cool, but he tried to make it to emotional too. The result is a cliched, visually stunning and overrated movie.",6 "Early minutes into the movie seem really boring, and as if talk to us the end of story, everything I already knew about slavery. But after moments and moments, it takes point and direction. Especially great story, superbly acted and beautifully shot can be noted.",8 "I like the movie very much. Maybe the Korean movie's style is similar with my country's.But the most important is, the movie tell a so fresh story without any sex elements. And maybe the actress is the most beautiful girl I've seen. You shouldn't miss the movie.",10 Nothing happens. Theres no plot. There really isn't. It's an hour too long I'm total. Every scene is over written. Like someone was scared to edit it because it's Tarantino. I was begging for it to end. Maybe some people who are experts on Hollywood history might get the references but I found the whole thing tipping over into self-indulgence. Not to mention the misogyny. Jesus. Thinly drawn female characters. The female bashing at the end is utterly grotesque. Which is hard to say because it is literally the only action that takes place and you have to sit through three hours of inanity to get there.,2 "I am at a complete loss as to what anyone can see in this film. By it's very title it glorifies the days when ""story"" was a cheap and disposable commodity, and seeks to canonise it's lack of a script as a result. I'm sorry - ""anti-art"" has all been done before, and it wasn't very interesting with the dadaists back in 1915 either. Poor acting, a non-existent script, dialogue written by someone who thinks swearing still has ""shock"" value and endless, pointless violence. The burger discussion was the nearest thing to a highlight.",5 I'm tired of seeing Beyonce everywhere all the time. Do they need to crew up the Lion King as well? Her voice is so annoying....,3 "I don't really get what's so great about this film. The film is like a collection of all the goofy stuff that Indians do. The film was edited pretty well - everything moves along briskly. Just when you start feeling like a scene is crap - they move on to the next one. The writing is pretty audacious. So even though a lot of ridiculous stuff happens on screen, they have made it all quite believable. KANGNA is pretty sensational in many of the scenes. And so are many of the supporting actors. The makers definitely hired a great casting director. For example, the actors who played KANGNA's friends in Amsterdam were pretty cool. It's not like Hindi cinema has improved much. It's still the same crap they used to churn out ages ago, but it is like more refined crap with a clear feminist bias.",5 "A season spent in exploring the twist. Tedious! Sanskrit names used without relation(except ashwadhama from my understanding). Only Nawaz-on-screen feels like watching. Saif as sardar - 😕.",6 Watch season one only and don't waist your time with the rest,8 "Superbad is a promising example of new-age comedy and it -without doubt- took its rightful place on my 'favorite comedy films list' right next to Meet The Parents, Kung Fu Hustle, Waiting, Old School, Anchorman and Knocked Up... The movie is filled with smart and hilarious dialogues, the ones that will give you cramps laughing. You actually might feel you may have to watch it again because you will definitely miss a couple funny scenes/dialogues while still having a laughing fit from the previous scene. I love movies that make me want to watch some of its scenes over and over again and I did a lot of rewinding while watching Superbad. All the characters were absolutely amazing, though Evan (Cera) and Fogell (Mintz-Plasse) were the shining stars of the movie. Overall, Superbad is a new proud member of the must-see-comedies-community and I'm pretty sure you will be pleased with seeing how far the new-age comedy improved since American Pie.",10 "This show is mediocre at best, it's like 4 filler episodes of the completely out of character character for Marvel... This was like an after thought character (once again), a comic book filler, with a completely nonsensical story about Egyptian gods and a guys with multiple personalities. Also for a Disney series, it's extremely violent for kids, with all the amount of blood and stabbings that go around in some of the scenes. Probably this would be Netflix material like the former Marvel shows that started there, because it's actually not suitable for Disney+. Disney must be revolving in it's grave right now (or freezing chamber according to some). The story after 4 episodes is boring as hell, the Steven character is really a wimp that completely breaks the rhythm of the story. I'm done with this show!",4 "If you like hours of CGI masquerading as NASA footage, then this is the movie for you. It is a gorgeous feast for the eyes, However, the plot is ridiculously thin and I was so tired of Sandra Bullock's whining that I wanted her to die the minute Clooney left the spaceship. Movies like this are one more nail in the coffin of awards shows that claim to recognize superior film making, but really reward famous actresses and trending topics. Awful.",4 "Full of horror clichés (Vomit blood in mouth, Evil Bride, Flashlight turning off at the worse moment, possession, evil doll, catholic mumbo jumbo ect) Scares straight up stolen from other movies Bad child actor Bad script 1 location for the entire movie Not Scary AT ALL Seriously i'm sick of this cinematic universe these movies are all duds.",2 "I loved it, I hate Avenger's movies because of the stupid jokes in the middle of the fights and the super heroes always winning everything. This serie shows a total different approach to this Super heroes topic.",9 "Id say its a 7, but since its rated an 8 ill try and balance it with a 6. I enjoyed it. Why do reviews have to contain so many letters. Quite like this movie this review is too long.",6 This is awful. Not recommended at all. Why would they do this?,2 "At first 2 episodes i think they are showing the journey of an IAS aspirant, what difficulties are faced by him but they switched it to a love story which was not anticipated and not required.. although the series is good one time watch...",6 "When I used to read comics. Noone would swap me a captain America comic because he was not popular. He was cheesy and that was about it. When his first movie came. Ok it I watched it and was left feeling like warm about him. This movie surprised me, one of the best MCU movies out there. I now accept that MCU have made captain America work better through the movies. Well done MCU. I guess there adaptation of him sits better o the big screen with international audiences. I like how this movie takes you deep into an espionage story and it works really well as a super hero movie. A super hero movie which is thought provoking, how often does that happen with a super hero movie?",9 "Much like Wanda Vision, the two the main actors are great. But the writing is awful. It feels like twelve year olds wrote this. Why does Falcon even want to be Captain America? Why are the bad guys so uninspired? Who thinks Elaine from Seinfeld is a good mystery villain? The end of this show is really preachy and the poor guy who plays Falcone has to deliver the dumbest lines of all time. The pain black people have gone though in this country is brutal and they deserve way better than this garbage.",2 "Right from the bat Henry Cavill shows about as much acting skills as a broken doorknob and it only gets worse from there. I suffered in pain for half an episode before I turned this utter garbage off and vowed to rather gouge out my eyes with a dull spoon before watching another second is this crap! If the choice is between watching a car rust and this series trust me, you'll get more entertainment from watching the slow decay of metal!",1 "The movie tries to suprise you but it is very cliche and predictable. Also it has very bad character development and cringe dialogues. Most of the scenes are very very unrealistic that it makes you laugh, at some point you will say that it is a fantasy movie. The hypnotize scenes are very ridiculous and doesnt reflect the reality.",3 "Yesterday afternoon, Diane and I attended a Hollywood remake of the old comic book hero, Wonder Woman. Diane and I, who usually agree on the worth of movies, thought very differently about this film. I admit at the very beginning of this comment that I am an old codger who dislikes modern Hollywood productions. Diane wanted to go because Hollywood broke their age-old pattern of making male centered movies so I accompanied her against my better judgment because I loathe popular ""blockbuster"" movies and this turned out not to be an exception. I also admit to falling asleep during the first part where Wonder Woman is growing up but then saw the second half where she fights in the First World War. The last 2/3rds that I saw were pretty bad; the war scenes were typical ""god guys beating up the bad guys"" that Hollywood seems unable to discard. I am sitting here shaking my head at those terrible war bits towards the completion of this bad movie. Please read the One Star comments because they said what I think except they write better than I and they remember the scenes far better than I. I thought Gal Gadot who played the mature Wonder Woman was either directed badly or could not act well because the faces she pulled during the scenes in England and particularly during the battle scenes in France were Beyond the Pale. Admittedly she had terrible scripted scenes to work with and the Director should never have kept all of her close-ups. You can forgive all of these complaints but you cannot all of the Hollywood German-bashing in the second half of the film.",3 "Everyone's a movie critic these days eh? The movie is loads of fun. Oh so graphic and oh so Michael Bay. Anyone who is a true fan of Ryan Reynolds will enjoy this. To all the haters out there...your palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on your sweater already, moms spaghetti.",7 "So much going for the show, but ultimately I can't forgive the forced danger that fills every moment. It's one disaster after another not leaving anyone the time to breath or for characters develop. Too much spoiled the broth.",6 "A sobering rethinking of everything that has been piled up about superheroes lately, in the key ""But is this super X just a crazy psychopath ?"" Banter over modern culture, bringing to absurdity, shifters, unexpected moves - everything is very intense. Not to much sentimental and dull empty talks. All turned upside down. Gore and harsh black humor is present. One of the BEST this year, definitely.",9 "A film that fails the Turing test - in reverse. Or something. What I mean is that after the first 5 minutes the unpleasant sensation crawled over me that I was participating in a rather sinister experiment, watching a movie made by a computer which was testing me by attempting to provoke a human-like response. Stuffed with algorithms culled from proper movies and musicals, the computer has generated a script and a set of scenarios based on user-preference and targeted directly at my very own demographic! Its eerie; the songs sound like songs but aren't quite, the dialogue sounds like people but not quite, nothing that happens has a real reason or point other than to crank through the plot, the jazz looks like jazz and sounds like jazz but isn't, quite, and the set-ups calculated to provoke an emotional effect left me untouched and feeling slightly hollow. What has been thrown, hurled and heaved at this film is Oscar-seeking acting, Oscar-seeking direction and Oscar-seeking technical twiddling. And hey ho and guess what, it got Oscars. Its the apotheosis of junk food, finally. You don't even need to make the effort to chew; it can now just squirt directly into you via the eyes and ears, a simulacrum of nourishment, over-flavoured glop taking the name of real love, real music, real acting and real life in vain.",1 ...degraded to a superficial pudding. It's like the first Captain America for juveniles...it was really hard to watch through this tedious hours.,5 "Artist-turned-Director Steve McQueen always comes up with such intriguing and unique stories/movies with vast psychological and emotional depth. Like his previous two brilliant works, 'Hunger' and 'Shame', '12 Years a Slave' is relatable at so many human levels. When you talk about slavery, you can ask how can it be relevant or relatable to all of us? The principal story of the movie is about a free black man who is tricked and sold into slavery, and suddenly loses his freedom in his early 30's. The movie clearly portrays Slavery as the loss of Freedom in which people are bullied and tortured to work for their masters; that speaks to everyone at some level or the other. This bold and powerful cinematic piece by McQueen is, by far, the most brutally real and gripping portrayal of the Slavery I've seen on screen; it doesn't celebrate the torture or bloodshed, and it doesn't talk about revenge - it just depicts things as they were. For many of the scenes, the camera non-judgmentally lingers around the characters; it almost makes you feel guilty that you're there, but there lies the beauty of the movie. British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor started his film career over 15 years ago, and has been 'that guy' actor for a while. We've seen him around in many significant not-so-lengthy roles in many good films, but this is the film which will finally push people to learn his name properly. He has given an impeccable performance, and the talent with which he delves into the emotional depth of the character (Solomon Northup) helps you picture the situations through his eyes. McQueen regular Michael Fassbender skilfully transforms himself as the despicable and arrogant slaver Edwin Epps, and is almost unrecognizable in his new villainous role. Sarah Paulson is terrific as the proud, obnoxious and jealous wife of Edwin Epps, and is more discriminate and cruel than her husband, which is quite unusual for female characters in historic movies. As expected, supporting actors like Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Brad Pitt and Paul Giamatti perform their parts quite ably. But it's debutant Lupita Nyong'o, playing the part of tortured and sexually-abused slave Patsey, who's the star of the movie and almost outshines everyone else. The movie revolves around lead character Solomon, but towards the second half, it's the agony, misery and anger of Patsey that drives the story forward. And the flair with which Miss Nyong'o portrays these emotions is really commendable. In my opinion, she's the emotional epicenter of the film. The cinematography by Sean Bobbitt is remarkable. Hans Zimmer's background score surely goes well with the characters' emotions, but the resemblance it bears with 'Time' from Inception (his previous work) proves to be a big distraction. Score resemblances to other great movies diminishes the impact of the scene to a certain extent (because the mind already associates it with something else). This is the only complain I had with the movie. Overall, it's a brilliantly portrayed journey of survival and redemption. ""Slavery is an evil that should befall none.""",8 "The first episode was great, the second was contrived but a love letter to Chadwick Boseman, so I can't complain, the rest were just either just plain bad and unbelievable (the Thor being an only child episode) or so depressing I had no desire to keep watching. First failed Marvel series post Endgame IMO, don't waste your time unless seeing Avengers die over and over is your thing. No hope or good heroic stories here.",3 "After spending hours and hours watching countless movies and TV shows, this is the first time I feel compelled to write a review. I don't know why.. maybe because this is probably the best Indian show ever created.. maybe it touched a chord in such a right place and with such a precise and perfect tone, that a beautiful melody was bound to be born. I've followed TVF quite a lot, but this.. this is a completely different level. This show is not just about humour, in fact, humour is just a small part of this elaborate piece of art, which is full of so many vivid colours.. some inspire you to break out of your chains and.. just do something.. some show you what true friends are made of.. some are downright hilarious.. others subtly break your heart into a million pieces.. and finally, you end up learning a good lesson or two about life. The cast is awesome, the acting is awesome, the direction and storyline is awesome, and a special mention for Maanvi Gagroo(Shreya).. she is superb! To sum it up, Naveen, Yogi, Jitu, Saurabh and Shreya.. eagerly looking forward to see more of you guys soon. Kudos to Arunabh Kumar!",10 Yawn. Pointless remake. Gaga can sing. That's about it.,4 "Hyper-realistic, with too strong English accent. Wish they did with more natives.",2 Best Movie I Have Ever Seen Before...!!❤❤❤ Bollywood Need Such Movies..! Vicky Koushal Nailed It By its Role....,10 "A Slice-of-Life Comedy Drama that took me back to my childhood when National TV had shows like Nukkad & Circus, when tv shows used to have quality and heart. A City guy lands a Government job in a rural village and he suddenly finds himself surrounded with people with whom he doesn't have any common ground and one after another stupid things start to happen. The performances and writing are the stars here. TVF knows how to write authentic Indian characters and the struggles they go through. Jitendra Kumar does a great job as the protagonist and then there are those incredible supporting actors like Raghubir Yadav and Neena Gupta who steal the show. Music and Cinematography were surprisingly good also. Its such an easy watch, I breezed through all episodes in a day.",8 "Super slow movie. The story develops extremely slow. The acting of these old guys is horrible. They are just too old to be acting movies they all did 20+ years ago. Its a bunch of old guys still clinging on to whats left of their acting careers as its their lifeline. We need new blood. We need new wisefellas. I dont know...go fetchem in the old country... Eneough with these old geezers doing the same tricks... retire or die.",2 One of best movies of 2019..vicky has acted superbly and great effects along with brilliant background music,10 "I had given it 8 or 9 stars if the whole experience didn't feel so odd. Of course I know about the American obsession with accents. Anything older than 200 years or from a fantasy or fairy tale has to have an English, Australian, or Irish accent, for whatever reason. That's very nice for actors of those countries, who are much more in demand than they would be otherwise. BUT COME ON: Hundreds of Russians, all with distinguished English accents? I thought for stretches that I was watching an 80s BBC series set in Birmingham or Wolverhampton. Partly it was really comical. Not to speak about my Russian girlfriend who couldn't stop laughing about the various English accents which came virtually from everywhere and everyone. Indeed she would have preferred all actors to fake a Russian accent instead of being ""so English"" - me too. But at least she confirmed that the written Russian was mostly correct, although simplified and sometimes redundant.",5 "The entire show is sappy and one damn thing going wrong after another. After a couple episodes you can predict them. Someone going to drive a car? Of course it won't start. Then a collision is coming. Then they drop the keys. Then they accidentally kick them under the seat. Then they try to reach them and their hand gets stuck. Look up and a trains coming, etc. What I wrote isn't from the show but it is exactly what occurs every episode. They must have a roulette wheel that they spin for plot complications because they have little to do with the story. They exist solely to try and create tension but after the 80th you just don't care.",5 "Firstly, the costumes and sets are stunning. This film is so visually pleasant. The cast is also enjoyable, particularly a large number of cameos of recognisable Hollywood A and B Listers. But, and it's a big but, my god it's about 2 hours of nothing and 20 mins of classic Tarantino at the end. I'm glad the ""twist"" at the end tied it altogether, because up until that point I couldn't make the connection between the two storylines. Both of which were so boring you could hardly call them stories. If you're going to subject yourself to this film have your phone fully charged and handy coz you'll undoubtedly find yourself googling ""Sharon Tate"" ""Manson Family Murders"" and ""Spaghetti Westerns"" throughout to kill the time. Meh.",5 "I really enjoyed all three seasons and the characters were likeable and believable. Dr Smith takes it for me she's brilliant. Not sure who posts the goods on here but Alpha Centauri is NOT a star it is a star system. Just last December scientists have said areas of the system may be habitable.",8 Believe me in season 2 episode 8 Saitama didn't showed up until the last minute when everyone was dead. It was just pathetic. My expectations were ruined.,8 """The Shawshank Redemption"" has so much skill which went into the production that it is regrettable that it's overlength undermines its attributes. Episodic, slack and slow formatting stretch the narrative far beyond what its material requires. The result is a fair film, with some worthy touches.",4 "Ryan Reynolds was a talented actor but Michael Bay screwed everything. Please make some more meaning content for audience, MB.",1 "This fulfills my childhood in a way I could never have anticipated. It reflects upon the flaws of our world and helps us all accept them by also accepting the imperfections in ourselves, like the fact that we are all a little dark and weird and crazy sometimes. And that doesn't make us any less men or women, or whater we are or want to be. It gives agency to all our wildest thoughts by putting the innocence of childhood in the context of the real world that all adolscents must eventually enter. It convinces me that someone out there thinks of the world in the same unique optimistic way as I do. And that's enough. Growing up is mandatory. But it doesn't have to be uncomfortable or ugly. It can ne okay. Thank you Greta Gerwig for this comedy gift.",10 "The problem with this film is that the main character has two protagonists and one of them (the one who is not a superhero) has a personal story that does not attract anyone and that is impossible to arouse sympathy. In turn, his friends and family do not arouse any sympathy either. The villain isn't engaging either, and the only funny thing he quietly distracts from is the transition from a traumatized teenager to someone all-powerful. With so little this is one of the best DC films which indicates the frightening level that Hollywood has reached with superhero movies. This movie basically makes you laugh for about ten minutes and then doesn't provide anything new. Those ten minutes make him worthy of a five. DC's can't be confident; they compete with Marvel to see who makes the most abject garbage.",4 "Decent fun and full of action for the first few, then boils down to a relationship saga ready to be inserted back into Eastenders. Love Marvell, enjoyed this, hoping it isn't a downward spiral 🤞🤞",7 "Shazam is your average generic superhero movie with target audiences at 8-12. Bad jokes, lack of emotions, generic villian. Kinda sad that DC is now copying the marvel formula after its bvs failed. Personally i like bvs in comparison to all other dc made movies afterwards because its unique. In this shazam movie you can clearly see the influence of Marvel on dc. DC is sick of losing money and hence are now doing the marvel formula, funny, bright, bad jokes, generic. Was really hoping dc would just stick to its dark themes. Disappointed",5 "I was truly looking forward to this film ever since the first trailer came out, pity it was such a huge disappointment. The main characters we know from the previous one have been treated poorly in this film, especially Queenie, who went from an insightful, delightful and loving character to an airhead. Their motivations are lacking, their development is either minimal or immature, and we cannot possibly find ourselves caring for the new ones, since they as well are very badly developed. One would think the writers would manage to make us care for Leta at least, but even her character is not exactly clear in her motives, and doesn't manage to gain our sympathy. I couldn't possibly blame any of the actors for this, since it is clearly a faulty script. Of course, all this led to a plot that was either pitifully pulled ahead with things we did not care about, or things that were dropped there like obvious plot devices such as all of Newt's creatures. Other times the story was nonsensical, in the sense that you could understand what was going on, but it was entirely insignificant, when it should have been holding you at the edge of your seat. For a character driven story that was inspired by our collective childhoods, I'm afraid I found myself leaving the theatre disappointed, having spent two hours with so many characters and yet not caring for any of them, not even the ones I liked in the previous one. I will confess that the one moment my heart stopped was when Hogwarts appeared. It was out of nowhere, completely unexpected but the theme came on and we were there. I was crying like a baby, but I can't attribute that to this subpar sequel, when it was the countless memories of a childhood spent reading J.K. Rowling's stories that evoked those emotions.",6 "Loki is a great character and worthy of a TV show. Unfortunately the writing isn't anywhere near as mature as the movies. Hiddleston is a perfect Loki, but is made to look an absolute idiot on occasions. Bad jokes and childish lines spoil the scenes. Then there is Sylvia, the female Loki who is a definite miscast. Could have been a great show, but has suffered from a number of bad production decisions which has belittled the main character.",3 Watched the first episod and fast forwarded the second episode and saw that it still was this white-and-black bs. Will not watch more.,1 "After watching this for about 45 minutes I stopped watching. This is a very poor, B-movie like, script.",4 "Unfortunately we don't have a reliable way to tell the true ratings of a movie. If it wasn't for the ridiculously overblown ratings I wouldn't mind, perhaps I would have watched it anyway because I like Bradley Cooper, but being lured into watching this thing expecting a 8-9 star movie... not cool. This is a movie just for Lady Gaga hardcore fans, anybody else expect a very average product.",4 Similar to watching a 90 minute fireworks show. All heavy CGI but with no real character developments or depth of story. The FX are pretty impressive and the creatures are well crafted but that's where your enjoyment ends. Cannot recommend.,2 "Going into The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, it was the MCU series I was least excited for simply because it looked like it was going to be a buddy-action story with quips and explosions. Instead, what we got was a masterpiece of storytelling, surprises, and a perfect origin story for Sam Wilson's Captain America. This show made me laugh, it made me smile, it made me gasp, and yes, it made me cry on a number of occasions. It's a worthy addition to the Captain America storyline and one of the greatest things Marvel Studios has given us. Anthony Mackie is the perfect Captain America.",9 "With such great actors and characters I expected so much more.. venom 2 was a major disappointment. Woody Harrelson Was such great casting for Carnage yet the movie felt cheap.. Instead of diving deep into these dark intriguing characters they tried to make it comedic like Deadpool and it just wasn't the right film for that.. I Still hope to see a Venom Vs Spidey movie in the near future but hope they keep Venom away from the comedy type. It just didn't work for me. So to sum it up - great cast. Poor writing.",5 "Remaking a top notch film is never a good idea. Typical for the greediest corporation on Earth to make a money grab film that leaves a lot to be desired. First - the decision to make everything related to the hyenas extremely dark was a mistake. The interaction between the hyenas, in the original, was part of the charm and brought a lot of humor to the movie. ""I'll have what's lion around"" and ""Make mine a cub sandwich"" were lines that delivered properly would have brought some life to this dud. Second- all the animals look sickly and the cartoon brought more life to the creatures. Third - voice acting. The original had wonderful voice actors and this film was just ruined by the voice acting. Seth Rogan is god awful as Pumbaa- he is annoying and ruined the entire Pumbaa character. Timon feels forced and lacks the heart and soul that Nathan Lane brought the cartoon version. Fourth - Jeremy Irons was classic as Scar - a wonderful rendition - Scar is very forgetful in this film - looks bad - sounds bad. To wrap it up - this was a poor remake that may visually have some nice moments, but lacks the heart and soul of the original.",4 The first two episodes were different and amazing. I loved how they brought up 60s tv sit-com concept. The dialogues and the character's interaction were amazing. I'm getting feeling like all these stuff and happy couple in suburbia is dream. Wanda imagining all these stuffs. I hope there is a twist to the story or it'll look completely stupid. It's not fair to judge an entire season by only two episodes but these two episodes completely set it up for great season. I'm expecting good stuff and hoping remaing episodes to be enthralling.,9 Noisy..and you will get tired from the boring story,4 "I waited eagerly for this movie, because I loved the first one so much, but it seems that I had my hopes too high. I felt like it was not nearly as funny as the first one and the mystery was also fairly disappointing. It was not necessarily terrible, but extremely mediocre and disappointing. This movie again is a fine example of what happens when a company sees money in something good and original and the ruins it by making a sequel that is not as funny and does not capture the magic of the first one, however every time they do this we all come back and give them our money. This being said if they were to make another one of these I would most probably watch it.",6 "Very loose end , stupid story after arround 2 hr of watching , i dont liked & not recommended",1 "Reonado is a great actor, and this is a great movie! I love it!",5 "I liked the two first seasons. The first one is still the best one! But the third season is really exhausting to watch. Oliver is the most annoying character I have come across in a really long time. He is really ruining the show for me, and after 3 episodes into the third season, I had to drop watching the show. The narcissism, self-entitlement and lack of respect for other people are just too much. However, I think Selena Gomez does an amazing job and has the most interesting character. But unfortunately, her performance is being ruined by loud and attention-seeking Oliver. It's really sad. The show has potential, but it should focus more on solving the crime and less in Olivers shenanigans.",6 "This movie is very good , actually deserves oscar.",10 "In my opinion, the series is better than expected (excluding the third episode).",6 One thing which would surely say about this movie is it's cinematography. I mean only in a few indian movies you see you get good cinematography but this is surely one of those It is a visual treat to watch. It's background music and songs also enhances the movie. Acting from each and every actor is good especially the little girl. It has a very unique concept and I liked the ending. So above were all the pros and now moving on to cons. The biggest con in its slow pace it feels that sometimes it's being dragged away. Second con is not that big but it needs to be addressed is that it's cinematography sometimes looks overexposed. Final verdict-- it is surely a one time watch,7 "The show brilliantly uses American sitcoms to symbolize the impossible fantasy of a perfect life. But reality threatens to spoil the perfection. Each episode captures a different era of a stylized romantic comedy, perfectly dressed and filmed to fit its TV era. And each episode forces Wanda and Vision forward through time towards an inevitable heartbreak, and their own endgame.",8 "The CGI is amazing, carnage looks real and really menacing, venom looks amazing as always. The only thing that bugs me about this movie is the run time. The 1 hour 30 minute runtime is short, but I don't really care about that. The action is amazing, Carnage looks amazing, Venom looks amazing.",10 "We never watched this movie before it won Oscar best picture. Since the overwhelming winning, we rushed to Netflix and rent this. We were starting to get upset about 20 minutes. Some of us quit watching about 1 hour. The rest of us were pretty much ticked off. As a lot of reviewer addressed, this is really a terrible movie. It is inaccurate with respect to military operations. There is no plot at all. The characters do not develop at all. What we see is shaky pictures, which made us dizzy after a while. I really felt this might be the worst Oscar best picture ever. Why is it still with 8.0/10 rating now? Look at most of reviews, I just do not understand how this happens.",2 "'Special Chabbis' is one of the finest heist films in recent time and is good in almost every department. The film is intelligently scripted with superb acting by its principal casts. The story is fast-paced and thoroughly gripping and enthralling. The weakest part of the story is the romantic angle which looks like a forced inclusion. Special mention of Anupam Kher and Manoj Bajpaye for there fabulous job. Neeraj Pandey is a director with substance, remember ""A Wednesday"" and now ""Special Chabbis"". Its like a rare combination of real-life credibility and cinematic flamboyance. This is the film that lives up to its name ""SPECIAL""!!!",8 "I cannot possibly realize why this movie is rated in top movies. There is nothing new in this film and there isn't anything in it that makes it special. Wake up people! Quote Bill Hicks ""Piece of Sh*t"". OK I'll give it that there isn't anything to complain about the acting or directing, etc. But this entire movie seems to be a compromise. I also think that the success of this film is based on the ""least worst principle"" and that makes it bad. I'm also fed up with the narrator and all the dramatic film music. All this seems like fishing Oscar nominations. Am I really the only one who can see how transparent this is? I doubt it so please vote movies that really will make difference.",5 "Incredible was the only word to describe the latest installment in the Spider-Man series. This could possibly be the best super hero sequel. Unlike most movies that rely on star power and plenty action, Spider-Man actually has a story that keeps you glued to the screen. We see characters from the original film develop. And the ending of the film leaves much to mind about Spider-Man 3. One thing that it lacked was the pure evil of a villain. Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin gave Jack Nicholson's Joker a run for his money in the original Spider-Man. Alfred Molina's role of Doc Ock was good but not convincing. It didn't creep me out quite like Green Goblin. Spider-Man 2 was worth the $8.50 and my time. ***1/2 out ****",9 "I don't know why some people didn't really go much for the first 'Captain America' film. Yes, I know it was a success, but it's never really talked about as one of the MCU's vest offerings. Maybe it was because it wasn't set in the present and therefore somehow felt less relevant to some cinema-goers? Anyway, I liked it. But, for those who wanted to see our (now UNfrozen) 'First Avenger' getting to grips with the modern world, they really got what they were looking for here. I think the best way to describe the 'Captain America' sequel is by calling it a 'Jason Bourne film with superheroes.' If you're familiar with the 'Bourne' franchise then you'll know the titular character is a spy who uncovers some disturbing truths in his own intelligence organisation and has to go on the run, pursued by rogue agents who were once on his side. This is basically the plot to 'The Winter Solider.' It may not be completely original, but it is damn good fun. There's all the action and chase scenes you'd expect from a spy thriller, plus it's naturally 'beefed up' as many of the protagonists have a multitude of special powers to give the action an added boost. Plus, because it's all set in our modern surroundings (no need for a 'Ragnarok-style' alien planet to be created here) the computer effects required aren't too overbearing and noticeable. I guess the best thing about 'Part 2' is that it has more 'character development' that your average superhero movie. We last saw 'Cap' in his 1940s world, so there's plenty of time for the story to show us how a man from the past deals with present day, not to mention the fact that he was once used to fighting for an 'honourable' power system whereas now the lines of good and evil can sometimes get a little blurred, even on our own side. If the film has a flaw then it kind of falls into that oh-so familiar trap than many Marvel films do (or at least the ones not featuring Loki) and that's the fact that the villain is a little underused. I guess you could say that 'The Winter Soldier' has two villains - one you'll probably forget completely and the other is the titular 'Winter Soldier' himself. The problem is that he just pops up here and there to cause a bit of bother for Cap and then we don't see him again for a while until the next action scene is upon us. There's also a bit of an over-used plot device in which characters 'die' only for us to find out that they're not really dead later. I won't say who or how many as that runs into 'spoiler' territory. But, don't let those minor gripes detract from what is one hell of a fun ride. It really does cover more than a few genres, i.e. superhero, action, spy, chase, thriller and does them all justice here. There's pretty much something for everyone here and Marvel show that not all second instalments have to be a 'Dark World' (that's a 'Thor' joke, that is!).",8 Interesting take on how super heroes may be in the modern world,8 "I do not recommend watching this series, since each series has a separate episode and this does not allow you to become attached to the series. Thus, the charm of the series and the plot with a denouement disappear. It's not my personal taste, so I didn't check it out.",5 "When you are going for a nolan film you expect something from him coz that is what hes doing until this day.i was so much hyped for this movie and some realistic expectations.did it reach my expectation .no certainly not.at some point of time i was even thinking ,did nolan really directed this movie.it just falls flat from start to the end.",3 "Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) are two highschool nerds doing their best to get laid and we follow their attempt to get the chicks through getting alcohol for a big party. Some hilarious scenes, enjoyable story and overall a good watch. Not really my kind of humour but I still found a lot of it pretty funny. Being a tekniker (slang from my area for engineering student or rather just a nerd) this is pretty relatable except from the success rate of these guys. Come on, a real tekniker would never get the girl. Pretty good movie, 7/10, worth watching.",7 "It is almost October which means Halloween is here (in my world, at least) and it is time to open up the vaults of horror, kick back, and terrorise myself. So, part of what I want to do is start finishing up the film series I've begun watching over the years, using it as an opportunity to close up chapters. So, for this (almost) October, I opted for Annabelle Comes Home having seen the first two already and knowing I have to finish off The Conjuring series (of which Annabelle is linked into, with Coming Home being the seventh part of TC series). I am not the biggest fan of the Annabelle series. The first one was pretty boring, the second one was pretty good for generic jump scare horror, and this third one is.. Pretty mediocre. However, I hate dolls, I despite little porcelain archaic dolls, so this genuinely terrified me to the core. Plot wise, however, it was the same as so many other ghost/demon horror films. Someone does something they're not meant to, everyone fights to survive, and then they have a cute ending either way if people die or not. They have good tension throughout the film, Dauberman did very good with creating a very on-edge atmosphere during some scenes; this was not the case for the entire movie, however, and it was a bit of a let down for some scenes to be so adrenaline fuelling and others to fall flat. It's a generic pretty boring demon film, the same as all the others that have come before it with 0 plot but yeah, this film did scare me a lot and definitely a good watch if you really hate dolls. With only a few stand out scenes, I don't know. They should have really left this series off at the second film and called it a day.",7 "30th Anniversary: 1989 - the Best Year in Cinema Marathon Film #56/100: ""sex, lies and videotape"" (2nd Viewing.) Probably my favorite director, or really close to the top. And yet, with only my 2nd viewing in exactly 30 years, I thought (both times) this was good, but eh. Never need to see it again after this 3-decade revisit. Definitely taboo at the time - which was why this 15-year-old went to go see it in the first place. Wait, who let a 15-yo into this Hard R film?",7 "I've only see one other Coen movie (Raising Arizona), which I thought was really dumb and boring, so I was surprised at how much I LOVED ""Fargo"". The script was hilarious, the characters very entertaining, and its capture of Minnesota culture right on. The combination of grimness and humor, the juxtaposition of how different people's lives are, was just brilliant. Frances McDormand was just wonderful to watch. I have to wonder how people who have never lived in this part of the country react to this. Knowing all the local references made it very amusing and recognizable.",10 "Don't get me wrong, it's ok, but the critic and user reviews are truly astounding. It's spoken about like it's some marvel of cinema, when in reality is a mediocre story, heavily laden with obvious ""social and financial injustice"". It'll pass an afternoon, it won't stay with you forever.",6 """The Fabelmans"" is a coming-of-age drama film directed and co-written by Steven Spielberg. Starring Paul Dano, Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, and newcomer Gabriel LaBelle, it encapsulates everything a film enthusiast should love about the art form with an affectionate examination of all it is capable of. In 1952 in New Jersey, Jewish parents Burt (Paul Dano) and Mitzi (Michelle Williams) take their young son Sammy (Mateo Zoryon Francis-DeFord) to his very first screening of a movie: ""The Greatest Show on Earth"" by Cecil B. DeMille. Sammy becomes enamoured by an epic train crash scene that occurs during the film's climax and decides to ask for his own toy train set for Hanukkah. Shortly after receiving his gift, Sammy crashes the trains in an attempt to recreate what he saw onscreen, much to the annoyance of both his parents. Realising her son's true motives, Mitzi allows Sammy to film another train crash with Burt's home video camera, setting the stage for his passion for filming things with his family and friends. Years later in Arizona, a now-teenaged Sammy (Gabriel LaBelle) continues to film his own movies with his Boy Scout troop, but various family issues and other matters begin to slowly threaten his love of filmmaking. Anybody who knows me best should be aware that I absolutely love movies. I love watching movies, reading about movies, and discussing movies with anybody willing to hear me out. There's just something fascinating about the way this visual art form can take us out of reality for such a long period of time and invite us to view things from the perspective of whoever is behind the camera. But if there's anything I love equally as much as watching a film, it's watching a film about the process of filmmaking. Steven Spielberg's ""The Fabelmans"" not only shows us everything the veteran director loves about his craft, but it also reminds us of why film is such an important medium in the first place. As a semi-autobiographical take on his own venture into the profession, Spielberg uses every opportunity to show us all the ups-and-downs of what one can expect to go through when following the dream of becoming a filmmaker. This is accomplished through the character of Sammy, who essentially functions as Spielberg's self-insert. From falling in love with the way a film can draw us into its story to eventually picking up a camera to film his own home movies, Sammy discovers that his journey won't be as streamlined as he may have imagined, but in the process he learns so much about the art and his own life. The parallels drawn between film and reality are so well done here that the movie can strike a chord with virtually anybody who has been emotionally affected by a film, no matter which one that might be. Instead of a self-indulgent vanity piece, this film as a whole is actually a beautifully told tale of how deep a renowned filmmaker's adoration for movies can run. Pretty much everybody knows who Steven Spielberg is and is familiar with at least one of the movies he has directed, so it should come as no surprise that this is a story being told by someone who fully understands the creative process. We see Spielberg's enthusiasm brimming throughout every frame, whether it's Sammy's life-altering experience of first visiting the cinema or showing his own completed film to his fellow Boy Scouts. Every emotional note is hit perfectly, to the point where even the most casual viewer can understand where Spielberg is coming from. There is so much to appreciate in the way Spielberg is able to convey each of these moments to showcase how a film can leave such a profound impact on the lives of both a creator and an audience. As a result, we immediately understand his own affinity for filmmaking, which in turn could encourage others out there to follow suit to make his or her own movies. Only one other film made me feel the same amount of joy this one did and that would be 1988's ""Cinema Paradiso"", one of my all-time favourites. Both are told from the perspectives of a young man whose admiration for film extends throughout most of his life. Whether Spielberg intended for his audience to draw that comparison is unknown at this time, but it is a huge compliment coming from me. In his first leading role, relative newcomer Gabriel LaBelle demonstrates that he has what it takes to carry a film of such a level of importance. Each aspect of Sammy's dedication to film is brought to life at various points thanks to LaBelle's masterful interactions with the rest of his fellow cast members. We watch as Sammy's vision for his craft is shaped and influenced by all those around him in both positive and negative ways. For example, when he and his family relocate to a different state, Sammy soon realises that not everybody is going to be as accommodating to his artistic perspective. Because of that, he must now find alternative ways to remain true to his vision while also seeking how to validate himself as an independent creator. This of course mirrors the way life often throws obstacles in our path to test how determined we really are towards following our own passions. Both Michelle Williams and Paul Dano also gave great performances as Sammy's parents Mitzi and Burt. Mitzi is shown to have a number of personal insecurities holding her back from what she loves doing, but tries not to let them get in the way of allowing her son to succeed in the world of film. Williams plays into Mitsi's vulnerability so well that even when she does something questionable, you don't feel the need to hold it against her right away. I consider this to be one of Williams's best roles to date as it demonstrates the impressive emotional range she has as an actress. Likewise, Dano portrays Burt as a loving father who goes to great lengths to nurture his son's talents as an aspiring filmmaker. Although Burt doesn't share Sammy's enthusiasm for what he does, he nonetheless understands why it is so important to him, even if it means working extra hard to pay for the necessary amenities. Though his role is brief, I think Seth Rogen is worth a mention as well in the role of Bennie, a family friend who acts as a surrogate uncle for Sammy. I was impressed at how Rogen was able to play a character that is both an amusing friend but also an intelligent voice of reason. In fact, if it weren't for Bennie, I don't think the film would have worked anywhere near as well as it did. This is a notable change from the usual type of roles Rogen likes to play, which often takes the form of a crude stoner spouting one-liners. Rogen has definitely shown he has the acting chops to continue playing characters like this, something I hope he will take into consideration for future films. For the avid cinephile, ""The Fabelmans"" has practically everything you could ever ask for in a loving tribute to this wonderful art form. Thanks to Steven Spielberg, we are able to gain a better understanding of why film goes beyond mere entertainment and how it has the potential to touch all of our lives in more ways than we can imagine. Even if you aren't a devoted fan of cinema as a whole, there are still plenty of other things to appreciate about what it can offer us all. No matter how old I may grow, I will always love movies and ones like this will help cement that in my mind for the rest of time. I rate it a perfect 10/10.",10 "Definitely overrated - the storyline is just too boring.... I get the idea but for me it is not near a good and catching movie - I had to pressure myself to try and follow the movie - I didn't succeed ... after the first 30 minutes my concentration started to wonder .... And I was questing myself ... ok the movie just started and I am already founding myself wishing it to end. I do like Jamie lee Curtis in the movie- and think she did bring a bit of drama to it .... But overall i was left disappointed and with crumbs everywhere all at once ... Maybe it's just not my type of a movie ? Idk ... do tell me your input.",4 "Space and Sci-Fi go together like peanut butter and jelly. Too bad they forgot about the Space part 5 minutes in. Then after a couple episode the Lost part was also gone. If you cut episodes 2,3,4,5,6,,7,8,9 then put 1 and 2 together you have a decent pilot.",1 "You always know what to expect in an M.I. film - ludicrous chases, characters surviving lethal situations almost unmarked when they should be reduced to bloody pulp, mind-boggling technology... and it's always highly entertaining. This time, however, the plot was so convoluted I simply gave up, knowing there would more high-adrenalin fun coming up soon. See it, but shut down part of your brain!",6 "It has everything you want in a bollywood film- action, drama, songs, confusion, co-incidences , comedy and superstition. Good entertaining film.",7 "Too much hype on the trailers; seen nothing on the movie but a classic plot, too much CGI and lack of logic that makes the movie a waste of time. The only thing that you'll like is maybe Tom Hardy, he played his character well although the whole movie was nothing.Hope to see something better in part 2 but I don't think so.",5 I have to say I don't write very many reviews but this was so boring I felt the need. Critics who believe this is a great or even a good film must be under the influence of some mind altering chemicals that I obviously didn't have access to. The film drags along. I kept waiting for the great film I read about but it never happened. Everyone in the theater said the same thing. Don't waste your money or time. If you think you have to see this wait until you can rent it. You'll still get ripped off but at least you won't suffer the pain I had to.,4 The greatest show ever made. Thank you for changing my life :),10 "Start with the positives, always try to start with the positives, even when it's hard. David O. Russell really assembled a star studded and talented cast for Amsterdam and while I don't think any of them give transcendent performances, they're all respectively good. Weird and quirky characters are like catnip to Bale, Robbie does a good job of being eccentric and while Washington is really subdued, it's what's needed of him in the movie and he gets the job done. The supporting players are also solid, Mike Myers got a couple of laughs out of me which is about the highest compliment I can give. It makes me wonder how many of them read the script or if Russell's name just carried enough weight for them to sign off but I digress. I don't want to blame the cast for the problems I had with this movie, everyone does at minimum serviceable work and that shouldn't be met with vitriol. The other aspect I liked was that Amsterdam looks good, the period setting, the costuming and the feel of the 1930s is all there and well represented. This film had a surprisingly large budget and it's reflected on the on screen product. With that praise out of the way, while Amsterdam touches on some actual events that happened in history, it's more focused on the characters and their oddball eccentricities than telling a larger story. It's very reminiscent of Russell's previous effort American Hustle (a much better but still mixed bag of a movie that also starred Christian Bale) and while it's nice that the creative team cares so much about character development, it doesn't make you forget how lazily constructed the rest of the movie is. Burt Berensdsen, Valerie Voze and Harold Woodman are all intriguing people at first glance but their motivations are surprisingly simple and they make bizarre choices (Valerie's unwillingness to reach out to Harold despite being a state over for 12 years, Burt's devotion to his wife that doesn't care about him etc.) that we barely have time to process before the movie shrugs and cuts to the next scene. Their friendship is laudable but other than their collective kindness, we don't get any insight to what they really want or what's driving them forward besides saving their own lives. The film presents their comings and goings in a very sudden way as if the characters are just trying to live in the moment and their futures hang in the balance with any given choice they make. This is fine if the movie takes place over a day but this movie spans decades and this kind of presentation doesn't gel. What I'm going to remember from this movie above all other things is Amsterdam's reliance on constantly explaining itself through it's own dialogue. It's as if they realized the audience wouldn't be able to follow what was going on so at the beginning of every scene the characters explain what's going on and what they need to do, and then every 5-10 minutes, one of the 3 reminds the audience what they're doing and what they need to do. This happens constantly and I was in awe of either the movie's lack of confidence in it's audience or just how badly written the dialogue was. We don't need to be beaten over the head with the message or what's going on, maybe Amsterdam thinks it's being more subtle than it is? I had never experienced something like this in a movie and I repeatedly had to check with my friend that I was hearing what the actors and actresses were saying correctly. Add on top of this that the other half of the dialogue is just nonsense that barely relates to anything and I was just flabbergasted as Amsterdam just jumped from scene to scene. Amsterdam does have a point to make once you put all of this aside and it's a point worth making and a subject worth remembering. I want to give the creative team credit for this but once again, the movie is so clumsily put together that any gravity or stakes are lost along the way. Support for Facism grew everywhere in the 1930s and it took brave men and women to root it out and destroy it but Amsterdam chooses to allude to these things for most of the movie instead of establishing those stakes until they just blurt it out at the gala and it feels like a bunch of build up to something that was pretty obvious earlier in the movie (the twist just falls flat). Its been done better in other movies and TV shows so the effort was appreciated, but I wasn't terribly impressed (check out Peaky Blinders if this interests you). When I was describing to a friend why this movie was so uniquely terrible, I had a hard time coming up with a comparison or choosing the right words to convey what I meant. Some movies are bad in a loud or bombastic way, they get up in-your-face and refuse to let you look away. If I had to come up with a recent example, House of Gucci or Old come to mind. That's not the type of movie Amsterdam is, it's a fairly quiet and subdued movie that does it's own thing. But it's also remarkably messy, almost without an overarching story and while there's plenty of subtext and real history sprinkled in, I couldn't pay attention to any of it with how terrible the dialogue was and how scattershot the plotting is. I kept wanting to give this movie extra points because of who was involved in making it and because it wasn't a huge tentpole project from the studio. But, I also kept reminding myself that this movie wasn't accidentally awful, it was deliberately being presented this way and it just kept going... and going... and going.... until eventually I had completely lost my patience with it. David O. Russell is a talented filmmaker and he's capable of great work but this is a missed-the-board-completely kind of misfire. Amsterdam grades out as a 3/10 for me and while I didn't leave the theatre furious, I was aghast at how many talented, rich or influential people read this script and still said yes at the end of the day. I can't recommend this movie at all and your time is better spent on whatever else you'd like to do instead.",3 "Amazing performance from Adam Sandler; he is the reason I went to see this movie. Aside from his performance I found the film incredibly stressful and anxiety inducing to the point where it wasn't enjoyable. By the time the end came, it was as much of a traumatizing experience you can have while watching a movie. Probably one of the scariest things I've ever seen, and I love horror movies - now that's saying something.",3 "An instant classic, this is one of the most hilarious comedies ever. Not only is it very entertaining, original and refreshing, but its not slow like Napoleon Dynamite or something like that. Jonah Hill, Cera and Mintz-Plasse have amazing on-screen chemistry while Bill Hader and Seth Rogen are great as the two renegade police officers. Anybody who does not watch Superbad, has been deprived of seeing one of the funniest movies ever. There are plenty of amazing jokes, scenes and scenarios in this movie, and ultimately it never gets old. I am going to buy this movie and watch it every now and then, because its worth it. IMDb Rating: 7.9. MY Rating: 10/10",10 "Black mirror is one outstanding series that introduces its audience to unique, interesting, problematic and worst of all terrifyingly possible visions of the future. Each episode tells a different story with a set of new characters (as an anthology does), but one main character stays the same - technology. Black mirror isn't annoying with anti-technology messages, it doesn't have the ""oh, technology bad, book good"" mindset, it focuses on many aspects and possibilities that technology may bring in the future, it doesn't judge, instead lets the viewers do the judgement and come to their own conclusions which was a breath of fresh air to be honest. The first and second seasons were a nice introduction to what the creators had in mind and to the message of Black Mirror. Third and fourth seasons can only be described as masterpieces. All four come with thought-provoking plots and unexpected twists. Boredom is nonexistent. Next comes the fifth season aka Black Mirror's downfall. This season brought us three episodes, they weren't necessarily bad they were very much okay but it felt like you were watching a different series entirely. The creators must have lost their initial focus. The episodes weren't filled with gore, technological advancements, ethical dilemmas, they weren't mind boggling as they once were. You didn't stare in terror or fascination. Fifth season lacked the originality and philosophy aspects that made Black Mirror remarkable. The plots were lazy, nothing crazy, each episode had a celebrity starring cause let's show our audience how much we don't care anymore, we want the money. They brought Anthony Mackie (E1), Andrew Scott (E2) and Miley Cyrus (E3) - and this is not meant to criticise the celebrities, they all did a great job -. This was a huge disappointment for me, i adored this series, i told all my friends to watch it and we discussed what we would do in those bizarre situations, my emotional friends weren't able to finish some episodes because they found them that frightening. It was amazing. And to think this series would throw all it's original initiatives for more views broke my little cinema-obsessed heart. Ending this prolonged review. 9 stars. Wish I could give it a 10 but I can't forgive the creators for the 5th season. They became what they once called out. Not only a shame, a tragedy.",9 "When I found out this was in the making I was very excited but after watching the first episode I was a little bit disappointed. They nailed the story and the time line but it doesn't feel the same way as the game . They missed the creepy elements and the scary feeling. As soon as you start playing the game you get creeped out by the way it is . The show did not do that for me . For example, the holes in the building was not there and they did not make the fedra Guys scary as they should be . They focused too much on character development but that's not what the last of us game is about . I played the game over 10 times and I can tell you the characters were kind of hopeless and doomed in the beginning but slowly builds on you. The games brought the creepy , scary , dark feeling of doom and terror in the beginning that made you want to navigate through but after you play it a while you're like yea it's not scary anymore but you keep going because you're now into the characters. The show wants you to be into the characters from the beginning and fails to bring the other elements out. Not sure if what I wrote made sense but if you played the game like me you'd understand where I'm coming from . Overall I'd give this episode a 7 out of 10 because it's the first episode, hopefully we get those missing elements in the upcoming episodes. .",7 First 80% -85% of the movie was literally a day time episode of Murder She Wrote (think that's what the series was called) remaing 15% was decent Sherlock Holmes slightly inspired drama making it somewhat worth it in the end.,5 "Every Tom Hanks' movie is a masterpiece, But i can understand the negative reviews a little bit. Maybe it's too innocent, it's not an exciting story. I personally thought it was a bit too long, 'monotone', and boring. But still, i was so impressed with the acting and the music .",5 Great story but a little bit bland in certain parts and has great cgi. It is pretty thrilling watching it once or twice but gets a bit boring for certain people after watching it three times.,8 "*Review for Daredevil Season 1* I gotta say I saw this show three times already, and it never grows old. Each time I see it again I enjoy it even more. The story in this 13 episodes is very well developed. In each episode, we get to know more deeply every character, showing flashbacks of their past or what are they going through on the present to avoid their ghosts and guilts. Again, the character development is great, but specially on characters like Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk. We get to know them as little kids, and the path they took till they became the men (or monsters) they are in the present. The additional characters have their back story too, even though Foggy is more like a comical relief, but sometimes he has some strong moments and dialogues with Matt. Karen, on the other hand, wasn't developed like the rest. She didn't really had a big backstory, and everytime she appears she is whining and crying, so it makes it a little exhausting. Technically, this show is great, using visual and sound resources to make us ""see"" as Matt Murdock sees. Even when he's not in the scene, we can hear a heartbeat like if we have his superhearing; or we can hear the whole atmosphere of the background. Visually is a little dark, sometimes we can't see very good what's happening on the scene, but again, this makes us feel like if we were blind. The action sequences are awesome, sometimes intense and gritty, and so intelligently filmed, giving us some amazing one-shot fight sequences. Final score: 9.5/10",9 "This movie starts off like a rocket launched into space. Unfortenately, about fourty-five minutes in the movie, it slows down to almost a stand still. The down side is that you still have almost an hour and a half to go.The story still has a couple of things to say, but not enough to fill the void. I was really surprised though by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, who played both really well. For both, the first time really, that I saw them in a movie. There is a lot of swearing going on, so think twice about bringing young children!",4 "Full of actions, acting was pretty good. Definitely enjoyable. But there are few issues. Firstly, they messed up the city environment. They shoot it in India and represented ''Dhaka'' more like African cities! On contrary Dhaka is quite developed metropolitan. I appreciate their effort to give the Indian town a Bangladeshi look (they used Bangla poster/signboards everywhere), but Capital Dhaka has not much similarities to the ghetto they showed in the movie. I appreciate the use of local language- but the pronunciations were in some cases- horrible. They could use good voice coach/take opinion of some native Bengali. Overall, I had fun and highly recommend the movie.",5 "I was really disappointed with this film. Roger Ebert once said that film doesn't shape culture, but rather reflect it. I disagree. I believe this film to have influenced an entire generation of men to ""go their own way"" and to fear women and success. I realize that it's based on a true story, but to what ends does retelling a dramatic version of it help us experience something useful? I am no stranger to Martin Scorsese films, and I thought Taxi Driver was an absolute masterpiece. There, heavy subjects are discussed with resolve to fix them. In some ways, The Wolf of Wall Street plays out like a bad Disney film. The antihero protagonist makes a ton of mistakes, but in the end it's fine because the plot saves him anyway. A Tarantino film has more to say about morals and society than this film does. At least with Tarantino, the consequences of nihilistic behavior are part of the plot. This is not so with this film. Gratuitous sex and drug use are shown intermittently throughout the entire duration of the film in a way that makes me very uncomfortable for all the underage and impressionable seventeen year-olds who were legally allowed to watch this. Dicaprio does fine in the role of an insane entrepreneur, yet his acting feels somewhat predictable and derivative of actors of the past. Also, his New Jersey accent in the film is not believable, slipping in and out of use. He was better suited for a film like Inception. Margot Robbie, on the other hand, plays a very believable rich wife. I also enjoyed seeing Kyle Chandler back on the big screen. As usual, he plays a relatable character with a certain amount of cool confidence. He was a great pick for this role. Overall, is this film worth a watch? Of course! Just don't expect anything really meaningful from it. It is not one I need to rewatch considering that the entirely gratuitous thing is already now burned into my brain for eternity.",5 "After I watched Nightmare of the wolf, that was completely disaster, here is more disappointing and disasters = The Witcher Season 2! Congratulations, you ruined everything that we loved about franchise.... I would like to give 0 stars, but it's not possible. Yuck...",1 "This is absolutely fantastic. This isn't just a sequel that was just as good as the first, it whooped the first movie so hard and it set the bar extremely high for future superhero movies and movies in general to come. Toby Maguire, Alfred Molina, James Franco, Rosemary Harris and extras play their roles wonderfully. Kirsten Dunst not so much.The characters have matured and you'll care for these characters. The story is much deeper and the stakes are higher than they wee in the first film. 2 years after the first movie, Peter is suffering to balance his normal life and his crime fighting life. He's low on pay, he doesn't make time for Harry or Mary Jane, Peter is doing poorly in school, he doesn't want to feel this pain anymore. He meets Doc Ock, a scientist invested in his work, but when his experiment goes bad and kills his wife, he avenges her and swears to take down Spider-Man and all of New York by rebuilding his work, but bigger and stronger than ever. Now, Peter has to stand up and do what's right. The action in this movie is just perfect. Not too boring and not too intense. The CGI looks really amazing for 2004 and it hasn't aged yet. I love the fight on the clock tower and on top of the train. Although I did enjoy Danny Elfman's work in the first Spider-Man, he brings his A game to the sequel and it's fantastic. The music is calm, ambient, sad, and frantic when it appropriately needs to be. This is personally my favorite film score. It's just a shame that Elfman had an uncomfortable time composing for the movie. Quoting from the film critic Roger Ebert who didn't enjoy the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man that much, he said that Spider-Man 2 ""May be the best superhero movie I have ever seen."" If you have not seen Spider-Man 2, go and watch this. You are doing a massive disservice to yourself by missing out on a compelling story and spectacular fight sequences. 10 years later and I still love this movie so much. This is a special movie, one of my top 10 favorite movies ever. This will go down in the film history books.",10 The 3 kids' acting is atrocious. I got through Season 1 but season 2 is god-awful. I really wanted to like this. I grew up watching the original series reruns back in the 70's.,2 "Sofia Coppola's film is nothing short of bland. It's only saving graces are its perspective of Americans viewing Japanese culture and Ana Faris's acting, albeit her character was nerve-racking. The exposition of setting up each main character worked well, but bringing the two together was executed in far too convenient a manner, nor was the chemistry quite right. As with movies such as ""A Thin Red Line,"" only one scene came across as viable and intellectually stimulating - the scene discussing life, marriage, and future. BAFTA awarding Murray and Johansson, and the Academy nominating the former, just seems purely inane, for neither actor's role carried much challenge or deep performance. As Patrick Stewart says on a TNT commercial, ""Drama is life heightened."" I found no such drama in this film. Focus Features claims to make original pictures, in opposition to the endless cliche movies of Hollywood; however, the three I've seen so far have had unoriginal plots, bland stories, and sparsely challenging roles. Before viewing ""Lost in Translation,"" I had seen ""Gosford Park"" and ""Swimming Pool."" Ludivine Sagnier was the only worthwhile aspect of the latter, and the plot of the former was not ""original,"" as the Academy had awarded it - ""Memento"" was far more ""original"" a screenplay. I just hope that the ultra original premise of ""Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"" is not diluted by Focus's inept execution of film.",1 "Wasting of time, no value. For the whole film we were waiting for things to get clear but it seems that they only take care of the quality of the footage and angles. The did good job presenting the food but overall I couldn't find anything worth the time since it is a bit long film. I regret attending to this one. Disappointed with the outcome. The conclusions of the film make no sense For me, I don't categorize it as funny at all I barely make one weak laugh for the whole film I Hope that the movies started to improve on their value and not to go the other way other wise it's better to sit in front of my TV and watch 1960s films.",3 "Stranger Things is so captivating. The young actors perform with so much emotion and honesty, and the plot is so surreal, I don't think older actors would be able to make everything seem so realistic. And Winona Ryder... I've always liked her, loved seeing her in Black Swan, after Stranger Things I became a huge fan. Love Stranger Things, Winona, Will and Eleven.",9 "I've not played the game or read the books so the first season was a welcome surprise. It was really enjoyable and the fight scenes were great. The second season seemed to loose its footing, still with great fights but the plot began to get dull and fall apart. For the third season the plot gets so conveluted I had no idea what was going on half the time. Even Henry Cavill grunting his way though it and some good fights couldn't save it. If you've not seen it the first season is great, second ok and third is rubbish. Apparently the first season followed the books while after that the writers thought they knew better. They did not.",5 "This is pure, escapist fun from start to finish - from the allocations to the fashion to the cameos to the plot and the amazing set - and a great script, with everyone involved clearly having a fabulous time. Loved the whole thing and hope there's more in the pipeline. Daniel Craig is better in this than he was in the first Knives Out - his accent is more settled and his character is more substantial and less flibbertygibbet. Janelle Monae is wonderful. Katheryn Hahn needs to be in everything. Like The White Lotus and Top Gun: Maverick ,it's the escapism we've been craving for three years. Next one better be soon.",9 "The stage curtains open ... I had high hopes for this one going in ... some of the reviews praised this installment highly, so I put on the popcorn, turned off the lights and watched with anticipation. And though ""Grindelwald"" scores and does not disappoint visually, the rest of this film leaves a lot to be desired. The story starts with Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp), a dark wizard being held prisoner for his crimes, escaping while being transferred from the U.S. to London for trial. Newt is asked to follow a lead in France by the Ministry of Magic, but he declines. However, a younger Albus Dumbledore approaches him and convinces him to go anyway. Back to help are Queenie and Jacob, although there appears to be problems on the horizon for the two lovebirds. Also in the mix from the first film are Tina, Leta and Credence. Putting all of these ingredients into the magical blender, we are led down a visually impressive path to a final confrontation that will much more define future story lines for the film's survivors. This was a yawner. Even though, as I've mentioned, the visuals and special effects were amazing, they weren't enough to carry this movie. The final 20 minutes were almost worth the wait - but even after that extravaganza, I was still left unsatisfied overall. I applaud the fact that characters from the Harry Potter series are included and better defined and provided more history, and that J.K. Rowling is working to keep her fans happy - but this series of films, so far, does not have the same feel or emotional attachment. I recommend this film for the die hard fan. But, if you are looking for a reinvention of the Harry Potter movies, you won't find it here. Newt and the Fantastic Beasts series does stand on its own two legs - and I do like some aspects of originality. I only hope the next film or two gets impressively better. Otherwise, it will be truly disappointing and not really worth keeping.",6 "'Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them (2015)' is such an uneven film, going from some light, whimsical and often quite childish sequences of 'beast catching' straight into jarringly dark scenes featuring an abusive mother beating her adopted son or moments of quite brutal supernatural murder. This makes it feel like two or three totally different pictures violently forced together, each one of them being rushed and losing their proper impact and possible audience because of it. Pair this incredibly inconsistent tone and messy structure with the occasionally more noticeable, frustrating and, frankly, bad writing - including incongruous, downright poor character motivations and overall logic - and a 'sequel-bait' ending that actually makes very little sense and is a mockery of the whole ""one-time, disconnected spin-off"" idea, and you have an incredibly spotty experience that sometimes works - when our genuinely quite likeable and well played lead is getting on with the actual 'fantastic beasts' plot line - but is, even at its best, by far the worst movie to come out of the 'wizarding world' (at the time of its release). Of course, it no longer holds that title, thanks to the release of its immediate follow-up. 5/10",5 "So funny. Martin Short is absolutely hysterical. Steve Martin charmingly, subtly funny, the straight man adding to the overall humor. Selena Gomez so far keeping up as the straight, straight woman in this comedy trio. Loving it Can't wait to finish the series. Pure enjoyment and entertainment.",9 This movie was hard to watch. It was boring and filled with strange twists.,3 "If you are a cinematography technologist, this is an absolute must see in Real 3D HFR. It is the best technical implementation of 3D in a feature length movie - that I have ever seen. The 3D shorts at DisneyLand and DisneyWorld were better. The blocking and editing honed for 2D 24FPS doesn't work for 3D HFR. REALITY CHECK: Avatar-1 was perhaps 75% cultural, dealing with psychological perspectives, and incorporating many traits of indigenious Earth cultures, which are only palatable to Americans -- when made alien. Rewatching Avatar-1, I found that it plays much better today than 14 years ago, since environmental issues are front and present for a majority of Earth population. Avatar-2 is 66% a wannabe Marvel Comics festival of video-game violence. The digital effects at HFR - in action scenes - look like a video game. But then, that is probably the intended market, where the huge investment in 3D CGI will end up. To paraphrase another movie -- ""If you buy it, they will make it."" ""Show Me The Money!"" -- the motto of every major movie studio. Disney is no exception. Violence sells. Emotional intelligence does not. Thus, humanity is in a perpetually downward spiral into self-annihilation. E.g., people would rather watch Woody Allen's psychosis, than watch anything about the Dalai Llama. Mike Judge got it right with -- IDIOCRACY! [Okay, now I have satisfied the 600 word quota.]",3 "Honestlu Idk i have mixed feeling about the show some things were good some were not tyat good i just hope that they will take the end-credit scene and do something intresting with it. A lot of tease but not a satisfying end, but seen the track record of marvel they could surprise us i had faith that after quicksilver they will introduce Xmen but no i thought after seeing all the magic and spells they will bring dr strange but no.",8 "This is one of the greatest stories of all time. When I first watched it as a kid I really just liked the powers the characters had, and I thought it was funny. When I re-watched it as a middle schooler I really liked the dynamics between the characters. As I re-watched it in high school I appreciated the growth of the characters. As an adult I love the dynamics of how the characters interact with their environments. I see how people from all of the nations struggle to make a good life for themselves, everyone experiences social injustices regardless of location, wealth, or political status. How they decide to progress determines how the story unfolds.",10 "Let's talk about Chris Hemsworth. You know him as Thor, but in Extraction, he brings a whole new level of badassery as Tyler Rake. The dude is a beast! He nails the physicality of the role and adds some serious depth to his character. Hemsworth's charm and charisma shine through, making it impossible not to root for him every step of the way. Now, the setting is something else. They take us to the streets of Dhaka, and man, it's chaotic and vibrant! The cinematography captures the essence of the city perfectly, and you get a real feel for the place. It's gritty, it's real, and it adds an extra punch to the story. Speaking of the story, it might not win any awards for originality, but it gets the job done. Tyler Rake is on a mission to save a kidnapped kid, and along the way, we get to explore themes of redemption and sacrifice. It's not groundbreaking stuff, but it keeps you invested in the characters and their fates. Gotta give a shout-out to Randeep Hooda as well. He plays Saju, this conflicted dude caught up in the chaos. Hooda brings his A-game and adds an interesting dynamic to the film. The chemistry between him and Hemsworth is electric, and it amps up the tension even more. On the technical side, Extraction is on point. The cinematography is stunning, the editing is sharp, and the music keeps your heart racing. All these elements work together to create an intense, adrenaline-fueled experience you won't forget anytime soon. So, to sum it up, Extraction is a crazy, action-packed thrill ride that'll leave you breathless. The action is jaw-dropping, Chris Hemsworth is a total badass, and the setting adds an extra layer of authenticity. If you're in the mood for a wild cinematic experience, grab some popcorn, turn off your brain, and buckle up for Extraction. Trust me, you won't regret it!",7 "I was really expecting a lot more for this movie and it looks like some company is paying for good comments around and I can't understand the good comments here either, it doesn't make any sense to me. The movie is too long, full of fragile dialogs such as the one where Bruce Wayne attempts to give up from Batman in order to save people from the Joker. Not to mention one of the last scenes where the joker is captured by Batman after Bruce Wayne and Lucius Fox have traced the communication of all cell phones in Gothan city. Really terrible. I would say that DC comics and Warner Bros did not learn how to produce good Batman movies yet, which is really sad since Marvel does good movies quite often. It's also really sad because people like me (and several other people around) who really like Batman, are often wasting their money with poor movies like The Dark Knight. BTW, not sure why they chose this name for the movie, I was hoping that one day we could have a film with the original story written by Frank Miller but now that WB has used (burned) this name with such a bad movie I have no more hopes.",2 "Indian middle class girls having a simple lifestyle often get rejected by their to-be soul mates for their innocence, ability to establish firm decisions and lack of exposure to the outside world. Vikas Bahl's second directorial venture 'Queen' portrays the self depreciating star (after her role in Krrish 3 & Rajjo) Kagnana Ranaut in a never-seen-before avatar of Rani; a simpleton girl from Delhi aspiring to have a simple and contended married life ahead with her lover Vijay (Rajkummar Rao). However, her dreams get shattered terribly when Vijay cancels the marriage just a day before stating the fact that he doesn't think that this relationship will progress favorably. A depressed and anguished Rani sets out on a solo honeymoon to Paris & Amsterdam; a journey which initially wraps her in a solitude and depression, a journey which on every step serves as a strong reminder of her hateful past which she is reluctant to forget. But, the loneliness doesn't stay for long as Rani is introduced to an amicable VijayLakshmi; a half-Indian, sensuous and audacious hotel- employee who takes Rani out of the realms of pain and agony into a world of impetuosity with pure vigor in its air; an eccentric disco scene where an inebriated Rani sheds of her inhibitions and lets go of all the seemingly unbearable dolor in her heart as she grooves lifelessly on the foot-tapping Bollywood beats. Vikas Bahl's queen is a fine, prudent and an excellent piece of Hindi cinema. The film introduces some of the flourishing characters throughout the film including a trio of boys which Rani befriends and the hotel chef, who offers Rani an opportunity to prove herself to the world, all having the same moral code of kindness and purity. Bahl creates a befitting milieu for Rani who is locked in a conflict with her inner self. However the one-woman show in the film has proved to be a magnet for acclaims and laurels as Ranaut puts total brilliance in Rani who portrays her unique transformation from a passive personality to an endearing and adventurous girl of a modern lifestyle. A tale of a girl trapped in the dimensions of her own agony & misfortune sets out to explore the world; the one which assuages her effusive anguish. Needless to say, Queen is surely a delight to watch.",8 "Geez, what a horrible movie this is. An incredibly stupid, predictable, as thin as ice plot, very very outdated, silly and insulting jokes about Japanese, and an actress that probably suits better in Sesame street. Bill Murray, maybe two or three (non-insulting) funny jokes and a Sex Pistols (well, as a karaoke act) song made that I managed to endure it. Don't watch it, it's a waste of your time.",1 "Whenever you watch this movie, I can guarantee that this going to make you happy, emotional and feel good. If this was an American movie then kangana definitely would've won an Oscar for this. So much work from her to act in this way. She is definitely a queen of Indian film industry. MOVIE has a good script. But screenplay is amazing with a heart and soul finding Background music. This is not a one time watch movie as I can bet that you are gonna watch it again and again whenever you feel emotional or in love or lost or heart broken. Go ahead and watch this masterpiece and the queen herself.",10 "This is VERY HIGHLY OVERRATED. just don't understand what makes this movie so special that it has been appraised so highly. It is not even 10% of the Tamil movies at this level/standard. People who're praising this movie must start watching Tamil movies instead of Korean, there are so many gems that have gone unnoticed. There is really nothing special in this movie that stands out. Cannot digest that an average movie like this has got so much limelight. Btw: Where does this trend start off?",4 "I was a bit disappointed by the first one but felt there was more buzz about this one so thought it would be a better mystery. Well, that was a mistake, this movie is basically in two parts and almost takes a break in the middle. The first half is interesting and sets up a mysterious and visually pleasing premise, but the Blanc shuts it all down (i won't explain the details) and after that the movie makes absolutely no sense. I'm not kidding, the whole story gets sidetracked and more or less becomes pointless and far fetched. My advice to myself if I could watch it all over for the first time would be to walk out after Blanc explains the first part.",3 "I have not read the book. I watched this show on a whim. It's a very frustrating love story. There were so many times I wanted to punch both of them for being so dumb! The lack of communication and not telling each other what they really wanted was annoying, heartbreaking, and stressful. However, it all resonated with me because that was me! I had a very similar situation which was definitely a learning experience. For those who have loved & lost, loved & lost and loved & lost, this is a must watch. Paul Mescal was brilliant, even though his character pissed me off at times. Daisy Edgar Jones was amazing and I felt bad for her character. I couldn't give it ten stars because I was so frustrated during some episodes. I'll be curious if there is a season two.",8 "Season one is good. Henry Cavill as the Witcher is great: few but heavy words, nice fighting scenes, big swords & big monsters, nice plot with converging storylines. Sometimes not totally aligned with the source material but who cares, it's an adaptation. Season two is a disaster. The scriptwriters decides to rewrite a substantial part of the source plot as they see fit. The result is a disastrous plot that navigates the show into a deadend for any future seasons. Henry Cavill is still great but he has less moments to shine. Sidecharacters are introduced out of nowhere: they add nothing to the story and disappear into nothing few episodes later. Season three is schizofrenic. The authors try to navigate the show out of the deadend of season two. The story is now rushed to reconcile with the source material. In a couple of episodes all character turn 180 and do & say things opposite to season two. Then the writers decide it is time to turn the show into a generic modern fantasy series for teenagers (Rings of Power, Wheel of Time, Shadow & Bones, etc). Herny Cavill is now vigorously sidetracked in favor a strong female characters leading the show. Metropolitatism and LGBTQ themes are added to the plot. Budget is slashed. Season one: 8, Season two: 4, Season three: 5. I am generous a give the show an overall six for the effort.",5 "The worst thing about this show, wich I stopped watching after three episodes, is the hopeless writing. Clunky dialogues and poor timing all around and plot twists that just does not add up. It's full of tired tropes like this angsty disfucntional family of mental patients that supposedly were picked because of their suitedness for colonizing... How the hell did they even pass a basic test of mental stability? How the hell are these adults still married? The family have no *charm*, and it's due to poor writing. What is more the writers clearly have no clue about basic science as evidenced by the whole ice-scene. The worst thing is that these things could have been solved (aside from fireing the director/producer/writers) within the bounds of plausibility or science without ruining the suspense. Girl stuck in ice? We just need a hatchet or a pointy metal spike like this here ski pole right? No. Lets trek up the mountain to this convenient vein of *bare magnesium metal*, then bring it back down and melt her out somehow. Presumably without cooking her in the process.Also, it's so cold water instantly freezes solid but we somehow don't need to put on warm clothes. yeah. It's not worth it.",4 "I had high hopes for this movie, being a huge fan of the ""what if none of this is real?"" genre, but I was disappointed. The film does have a few things going for it - let me cover those first, since that won't take long. The visuals are beautiful and stunning - whoever shot this movie is indeed an artist. I can't remember a film that was this fascinating just to look at. The film also has a creative and intriguing premise (which I can't mention, or it would spoil it). Keanu Reeves, who is a horrible actor, is actually more tolerable in this flick than he has been in most of his others - mostly due to the fact that the role requires almost no acting. Keanu does look good in the film, and Carrie-Ann Moss looks fantastic in tight PVC pants! That's it for the good, now for the bad: the story has holes in it the size of Texas. Is it really so hard to write a story that makes sense, that is tightly crafted? Total Recall and The Terminator come to mind as examples of tightly written sci-fi films. I can't go into the details of the many, many things that just don't make sense since it would spoil it for those who haven't seen it. Did the writers not understand virtual reality at all, or did they just assume the audience was too ignorant to notice the absurdities and non-sensical aspects of their virtual world? Seems like the makers of The Matrix just got lazy. They had a great premise and Keanu Reeves, so they just threw in some extended slo-mo gunfights, kung-fu battles, lots of big explosions, a pounding soundtrack, and called it a day - very crass. About those slo-mo gunfights, kung-fu battles, big explosions, and pounding soundtrack - they came across as very contrived - obviously hacked onto the story to make it an ""action"" movie. How obviously formulaic! I can just hear the producer saying ""We have a pretty good story here, but we want to make it an 'action' movie, so stick in these elements..."". This film had serious potential, but ended up as merely mediocre - what a shame. 5 out of 10.",5 "After viewing this film, my wife and I argued about whose fault it was we had borrowed it from the library. I insisted she was responsible; she said I chose it. We don't understand why this has rated so highly with other viewers. There are so many absolutely absurd holes in this plot that we spent more time pointing them out to each other than watching the film. The soundtrack was poor, which was unfortunate, so we often missed key words or sentences and that didn't help, I'll admit. But it really was the writing of the plot that put us off. If actions taken by the characters don't make sense, then we lose interest and that's what happened with us about an hour in. I'll not bother saying more than that as it would constitute spoiler after spoiler if I picked apart what we saw. You can make up your own mind if you watch it and perhaps you'll make more sense of some of the characters' actions than we did. I'll just end by saying that it might try to be a modern ""Silence of the Lambs"", but it falls far short of that high standard.",5 "If this really is Quentin Tarantino's last film then can we get that in writing!? Because if I have to sit through two and a half hours of pointless build up for fifteen minutes of excitement then I'd rather watch paint dry!!. As a lover of Quentin I have seen all his films and enjoyed every single one of them so it pains me to have to write a review like this. The actors were fantastic and that's the reason for the stars. But I seriously think that all the backstory had no relevance to the final scene, other than a couple of scenes that are funny and show where the characters come from. But it leads to a finale of something that hardly has any relevance to any of the other pointless rubbish we'd watched before. Not a typical Quentin film, I think it's time to give up and p.s I'd like a refund please",3 "The assembled Avengers cinematic universe, as well as each character's standalone film(s) is intended as an homage to a long standing property, fore fronting entertainment and nostalgia above substance and development. That is not detrimental by any means, some of the best products of entertainment have followed the same formula and found incredible and justified success. What Whedon has done with both of the assembled outings though did not qualify in this category at all. I am aware that he has achieved that untouchable-nerdy godlike status that allows him the ""creative"" liberties to now assemble juggernaut films like Avengers Assemble and Age of Ultron, where the eye-candy mind-numbing loud-chaos inter-cut with snide comments, punchlines and one-liners aiming at posterity are force fed on audiences. Considering then that we're not expected to be watching a film with the narrative complexity that Nolan has granted Batman trilogy, we wouldn't have expected such thin, lazy and pedestrian treatment. The characters that previously were given little to no room to develop are now treated to clichéd and forced subplots, the setup and motivations are as tired and laughable as it goes and the required comedic relief is so forced and bland that it is widely cringing. Even so, Whedon somehow manages to go through the motions requiring an almost impossible sense of suspension of disbelief, even for comic book standards and plot holes you could walk an elephant through. All his might seem a contradictory coming from a self-proclaimed summer blockbuster superhero film fan. It might even seem more contradictory review coming from a huge X-Men, a fan that manages to somehow find redeeming qualities and saving graces in the weakest entries (and there are nine of them). The case with The Avengers franchise though is that an already overcrowded ensemble unites for sequels upon sequels, not to mention their own parallel trilogies that also include mini reunions of sorts, with absolutely no originality or saving grace other than the massive wide spectacle of worldwide destruction. Call it cynicism, call it incoherence. I call it overgrowing exhaustion with this franchise.",2 "What a beautiful place... to be with friends. Harry Potter's 7th installment goes full-on survival mode for our protagonists. We're no longer surrounded by the comfort of Hogwarts' walls and most allies are trying to survive for themselves. This grim world with Voldemort in power is both beautiful (metaphorically) and scary. Even though the atmosphere is mostly desperate with no clear direction of where to go, I loved all these little moments the movie created to lighten up the atmosphere. The shot of Harry and Hermione dancing and going from glum to smiling for a little bit was probably my favorite shot in the movie for its natural comforting manner. Of course, it's not a key moment in the movie, but it's just something that made me feel very human (my obsession with coming-of-age stories is coming out during Harry Potter movies now, great...). Since the story of the last book was split into two movies, the first one (this one) didn't feel rushed at all. In fact, this felt like a story with many layers, filled with action, drama, thriller elements that felt more mature than the previous installments. And my obsession with villains also started showing, as I was gasping with each scene where Voldemort was present. There weren't a lot but each of them felt menacing and I truly feel like Voldemort might be the villain that defined a generation, sort of like Darth Vader in the 70's and 80's or slasher movie villains (Freddy Krueger, Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers) during the 80's. I think this film was an improvement in both the tone and the storytelling, creating a wonderful experience that takes us into a dystopia of a wizard world.",8 "Queen review: Kangana Ranaut could've been a reason enough to recommend the film. It is one of her best performance so far. But Queen also needs to be seen for Vikas Bahls competent direction, Rajkumarr Rao leaving an impact in a brief role and last but not the least, for proving that good women-centric movies don't necessarily mean fighting atrocities against them every time. Just a lady chilling out on her own terms is also Girl power!! Way to go.. Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.",8 "This is a difficult movie for me to rate. On the one hand, it did add some odd things which was not in the book. But Solomon Northrop's book, ghost written by a white man, also appeared to not be entirely accurate. But that does not detract from the importance and impact of the book. And I think that the ""creative license"" used in this movie does not detract too much from the importance of the movie. Alterations to facts usually lesson the quality of movies for me. But that was less for me with this movie. I will admit that some of the violence in the movie was hard for me to watch. But I get that it was important to not water things down, especially since some people try to do that so that slavery doesn't seem as bad as it was. But some violence was extended too much for me. The movie does have pacing issues. Some of the long, lingering shots could have been eliminated and then some of the important missing parts of the book could have been fit in. There were some dramatic elements of the book which I would have liked to see portrayed. I think that the movie could have been better. But I also think that bringing Solomon Northrop's story to a larger audience is also important. I actually think that his story would make for a great miniseries.",8 "But wow was I blown away! Never been a huge fantasy guy, nor played the game, nor read the book, but once I started I Couldn't stop. Amazing show worthy of anyone who can tolerate fantasy. I highly suggest watching more than once because it can be hard to follow sometimes and you might miss something.",9 "Full of topics, no rithm at all, poor Craig reduced to ridicule by name and accent, plot twisted and retwisted and reretwisted without a single thrill, it made me the same effect that a lie to Marta (disgusting idea, by the way).",2 "Before watching it, i thought this movie going to be just a pop corn movie with beautiful cinematography and colors and with good actors doing their job as always really well. But when i started watching, ive got the different idea of this movie, i was expecting more of a Wolf Among Us video game style type of thing. While watching this move i expected more and more from it, but ive got dissapointed in the end that it ended in cliche, no plotwist and nothing original way. Would have been amazing if they made exactly same idea like that Wolf Among Us game. Imagine Barbies and Kens living in our world, but in a dark our world's natural way. If film makers made it this way and nailed it, i would have gave this 10/10. Now im giving 8/10 which is a decent score for this movie, because of its cringe worthy last 30 minutes of the ending or so. Loved the joke in the very end, and loved couple of Matrix easter eggs.",8 "EK HASINA THI (2004) : Brief Review - A very good one line Revenge Drama noniridescently known as a Thriller. Ek Hasina Thi is like a open book from the first scene, there are no backdrops or unknown thrilling facts. It's the same woman's revenge formula which was cracked almost 6 decades ago in Hollywood and 2-3 decades ago in Bollywood. Ek Hasina Thi very much justifies it's title as it tells a story of a Girl/Woman Sarika who has been betrayed by an underworld mafia Karan. She was put in jail by the honey trap and then she escapes to take a solid and Cruel revenge. As far as you can you can read there is only one plot in the film and it was very much predictable for me after the first 30 minutes only. I just had to watch rest of the 100 minutes as a formality but somewhere in my mind was expecting a two or three liner plot which never happened. That was a big disappointment for me and nobody is at fault for this except me. I should have controlled my optimistic nature while watching this Bollywood flick after watching plenty of Classic thrillers from World Cinema. Urmila Matondkar looks so gorgeous, those greeny Browny eyes, oh my god. I am shivering. Saif Ali Khan proves his versatility yet again and supporting cast is very good. Screenplay is fine considering the real motive and overall impact of the woman centric idea. Not to mention it could have been Mind-blowing if it had the secondary plot included. Sriram Raghvan debuts with a Primary Revenge Drama which is really very good and definitely a promising start to his career but causelessly known as a Thriller. It is just an ordinary Revenge Drama with an excellent pick up but nowhere near to the Thriller tag. Overall, Ek Hasina Thi manages to deliver a sweet, solid and outdated Revenge drama and if you haven't seen much of those then give it watch. RATING - 6.5/10* By - #samthebestest",6 "A movie so great that it simply blows your heads off. Every character is Grey. No one is moral and every body is a victim of circumstances. the film is the pinnacle of movie making. the sheer audacity, rawness, and unrealistically realistic treatment creates magic on screen. and believe me one time is not good enough. songs are unbelievable as well. the characters of paro and chanda are so well written that before dev falls in love with them; u will fall in love with them. and both the ladies have done a remarkable job. mahi gill looks so elegant and an epitome of femininity. kalki has an amazing screen presence. with her earthy and next door girl looks, she will win ur heart and her school girl sexuality is incomparable. anurag is THE BEST director in this country and with a girlfriend like kalki he is a lucky bastard as well. and now we come to the real reason of watching the movie. abhay deol. he has become a cult figure for a lot of his fans. the concept is his and he has completely overshadowed and other devdas that ever was. from now on if anybody will be remembered as devdas, he will be abhay. after 7 movies he has overshadowed many heavyweights in the industry. he looks so natural and confident on screen. and how chilled this guy is can be judged from the fact that at the time of his biggest ever release he is rite now in new york for a welding course.",10 "James Cameron is back at the box office with his latest blue man blockbuster. Only this time, it didn't bust the block quite like it did back in '09. I'm not sure if it was because the novelty of it all was lost on the audience the second time around, but it seemed as though the wonders of the foreign moon Pandora were a little less breathtaking than they were the first time. Seeing the movie pan out, things just felt like a sequel was made for the sole purpose of making a sequel. Some of the dialogue was cringe-worthy and hard to listen to. The story, despite its potential, felt repetitive and predictable too often (it's almost as if it didn't need to be 3+ hours long). All this culminated in a lack of emotional attachment to characters who had plenty of screen time for the audience to get acclimated to them. There were heartfelt moments shared between family, and new and exotic creatures that the N'avi people rode into battle, but it paled in comparison to the original Avatar throughout. Even Jake Sully's epic monologues fell short of what they originally had been. Initially filling transitions with emotion and tension, Sully's speeches in Avatar: The way of Water only seemed to put the ribbon and bow on the exact gift it was- a flex of the prowess of computer generated image technology that was state of the art... 13 years ago.",4 "I don't understand why people are raving and ranting about the movie! The plot is simply incredulous if one does exist! It drags on endlessness and turns out to be preachy at best. The religious bias angle has been treated only superficially and is very naive! Don't even bother watching it. If not for the controversy this should have bombed on the first day itself. The Director is naive, and Shahrukh would like his audience to believe that this is his best performance. He has done so much better in Chak de India , probably the only movie where he has ACTED. Don't bother wasting time on this movie unless you would like to suspend your disbelief for under three hours.",1 "Well put together, good writing. Selena Gomez is great & definitely keeps you interested. If you love anything true crime or murder mystery this is a must watch.",8 "Ready Player One plays things extremely safe. While I haven't read the book, I get the feeling some of the artistic elements were lost in it's translation to a modern era film. What I mean by that is that it takes away your ability to be imaginative when everything is shown visually. It has some fun action and effects, but is totally unoriginal. Furthermore, it has A LOT of pop culture references that people seem to like, but none of them have any purpose and to me, they take away from it's identity. The story is simple and entertaining enough, though it doesn't have some plot holes and non sensical moments. Characters are pretty two demensional and writing is a little flat. Overall it's an average movie, but there's another thing: *this is a rant* I want to talk about the message at the end of this movie; it just annoys me and feels out of touch. When you say ""reality is the only thing thats real"", what exactly do you mean?? When you say that, you raise the question, ""what is real?"". Most of this movie takes place inside the Oasis. Are the lessons these characters learned and the things they acomplished and the relationships they formed ""not real"" then?! If you say yes, then then thats pretty dumb because all you're left with is the message ""don't spend your whole life playing video games"" which is hilariously ironic. You're telling me the guy who invents a whole virtual world because he seems slightly autistic and dose'nt fit in socially says that that experience isn't real, wtf😂!? What are they trying to say? . Let me tell you my opinion: Virtual/gaming experiences CAN absolutely be real. My definition of ""real"" experience is one of genuine substance and growth. The right types of games and other media absolutely do grow us as people. It doesn't matter if they didn't occur in the physical world. We could have learned things, felt emotion, or in the case of online gaming, met people, worked together, learned to negotiate, coordinate, stratigise. How is that not real? If you think I'm over interpreting this message, but what else does can it mean? *end rant This movie could have done a lot more with its setting, but it chose to be average and draw the widest appeal possible, yet sunnenly becoming rather pretentious by the end.",6 "This notion that singers are good actors is truly the culmination of the throwaway-culture. Putting Gaga in the same sentence as Streep, Hepburn or Lange is a disgrace. Oscar nomination for this performance is a disgrace.",3 "The good points 1 Looks like it had a decent budget. 2 Acting seems okay 3 Locations.....meh. 4.......I am trying really hard to think of some sort of reason why I would continue to watch this insult. The bad points 1 Vulgar, unnecessary insulting language. 2 Story line 3 ....actually there is nothing about this show that I would promote, It's just nasty ugly television. For this to get an 8.1, it just tells me that there are a lot of disturbed and mentally ill people out there. This sort of script writing leaves a lot to be desired.",2 "Story had so much depth, but movie lacks every bit of it adaption of true story doesn't make any justice to the movie. Passable and execution disaster.",4 "This is a truly fantastic movie in every way. the direction is superb, and the action and the script is too. Need I say more? Go and find out for yourself, and you will definitely understand What I am talking about.",9 "I love mysteries because they are stories that require you to think but hardly anyone does them anymore. So am grateful when someone does. I first saw this film when it was given a limited theatrical release in November 2022 I took some time to gather my thoughts about it. But my opinion hasn't changed. It was so blatantly obvious to me that I was so hoping it was just a red herring. But alas it was not. Only one part of the story pleasantly surprised me. But the rest I saw coming. As I said I love mysteries and hardly anyone makes them anymore. So I'm glad someone did. I just wish there had been more intelligence in the writing.",5 "This is a film of dead-ends & false leads. Unfortunately the biggest false lead & dead end is the film itself. At 151 minutes running time it feels, by it's conclusion, as if someone who had promised to take you somewhere had finally pulled up into a lay-by & said ""That's it!"" It's 2 & 1/2 hours of frustrated people getting more frustrated & leaving you......guess what.........? A long story which ends with ""in the end it might be this or that or the other but we'll never know for sure."" is just a long wind-up. The objection; ""But it's based on real life events!"" only means that it would make suitable material for an interesting documentary, perhaps on the frustrations of inconclusive police investigations. Documentary, or even Docu-drama material it might be, but as a movie it leaves you as cheesed off & thwarted as every single one of it's depressed & disillusioned protagonists who, understandably fall out with each other in utter weariness & despair. It's no spoiler to mention that one detective quits the case eventually, basically because it's not getting anywhere - I wish he could have warned the rest of us before the film started then we could have done the same! To make a worthwhile story or movie, it should have a Beginning, a Middle & an End whereas THIS specimen has a Beginning, an endless middle & a couple of speculative footnotes! I'm not faulting the performances, or the casting, which is (sometimes painfully) appropriate - hence the two stars. For a PRODUCER, however, it is critical to be able to distinguish twixt what makes suitable story/film material & what might be best told, detail by chafing detail, in an honest documentary. A big waste of a LOT of time.",2 "The hype of movies today, is what makes the cash! Reimagineing old stories like Star Trek and Batman and so on,, and here we've got Sherlock all new and shiny, violent and paced so that your old grandma would go into cardiac arrest! It is not creditable, it is not the time, it is a pocket which has nothing to do with the real deal! Why make all this sad drivel, plastic people, hollow, left of all that's called imagination. Pretending Holmes, that's what this movie is,, yawn!! I hate the editing, and the flashbacks! I like the actors, but none of them should have been cast in this total waste of time. There is craftsmanship involved, but not on the story or the script. Thin as ice in a summer afternoon! And who had the idea of putting some Marx Brothers humor in to it, not working. Not on me. And I could go on,, bad and sad soundtrack,, In fact I don't believe that this movie has ever seen a street in London, or Any kind of street, all hail cgi-land. This movie gets so much more than it deserves, 2 out of 10.",2 "I really wanted to like this show. As a fan of GOT I thought it would be similar to that and Henry Cavill is a good choice for the lead too. I couldn't be more wrong. It's beautifully shot and the time period is interesting, but the story and dialogue make no sense. I don't know who any characters are 3 episodes in and nothing is keeping me engaged. No story, no conflict other than ""he's a Witcher and he goes on quests to kill stuff"" ...I think? Boring. Not engaging. Confusing.",2 "Sorry, but if you read the book then you would understand how badly this movie underachieved. They cut out so many things from the book, and honestly most of the best parts. If anything they should have made the movie two parts instead of dumbing it down and cutting half of the challenge, and book out. Not to mention changing the most random and unnecessary things from the book. Such as, Wade was from Oklahoma City not Columbus, he was close to his mom in the book, he was friends with his elderly neighbor, etc. Changing these things didn't improve the story at all in fact it dumbed it down. I understand the fact that books are usually a bit different than the book, but normally they change details that kind of make sense for a screen adaptation. The production staff just cut out half of the story and dumbed it down. Since the second book isn't as good as the first I truly shudder at how bad that movie will be. For anyone that thinks this movie is really a 9 or 10 please go read the book!",5 "I truly can't remember being so bored by a movie. It was especially disapointing because of so much talented people's work was put into this. The sets are truly beautiful, actors magnificent, the subject and idea of the story important, its potential endless. Yet so incredibly boring. The first half was not terrible, the second was unbearable. It looked like writers went on strike in the middle of the script. So many good ideas so utterly horribly executed. I think the blame lies with directing and script. I remember imagining several scenes done slightly different for them to be truly funny and so good.",2 "Film critics have let me down before. I once watched 'Gosford Park' on the strength of a local critic who gave it 5 stars. I shouldn't have bothered - I wouldn't have given that film 5 stars out of 100. This time 3 local film critics all rated Eternal Spotless whatever as one of the best films in 2004, so I decided to view it. I shouldn't have bothered. This was one of the four worst films I have ever seen (the others being Memento, The Piano, and that precocious pretentious thing about losing a guy in 14 days). I notice the DVD cover had this film in the Comedy genre. I'm still waiting for the first laugh, although come to think of it, maybe the laugh is on the gullible public (including me) - conned by the hype and tripe of the so-called critics into watching mindless boring drivel like this.",1 "I went in with low expectations but I would say this is worse than the first Venom film, there's not much that happened throughout the movie till the end battle. I wasn't a fan of woody Harrelson as the villain. I would avoid watching this film did absolutely nothing for me.",5 A deadly boring unrelatable nonsense with clearly adult-looking empty headed teenagers who are sitting on their cliché heap and talking about the huge nothing the entire time. I don't really get the hype...,1 "Confused between having to give it a very low rating or a very high one and with hundreds of reviews written before mine, I still want to make a few points. Maybe it would help out someone: 1- Biographically: I've read that the real John Nash had an entirely different story. Please tell me would you take the history and life of a man and change it entirely, deceiving a lot of people and mutilating history to make a movie ?! Couldn't you change the names and say that it was ""inspired"" bu a true story ?! Was it that hard or was it not at appealing and interesting ?! So I agree with everyone out here bashing out this movie for being that inaccurate and deceiving. 2- Regarding the fictional love story: it was a little real. When you love someone with all your heart and senses, Hollywood -in a lot of other movies- would be selling you lies. The reality is that even the most romantic couples with the most beautiful love stories ever suffer a lot, fight but stick around. So, it was to some degree realistic. 3- Regarding the mental illness: Some people here say it was very unrealistic and a fairy tale. Those people didn't pay enough attention to a lot of details in the movie like the baby who would drown or the people making fun of the professor. So I disagree, it showed much truth, although not in every aspect. There's a very important aspect that was very disrespected in the movie: the Psychiatrist's image and the medications, which I overlooked because that might be the case with some of the patients who weren't taught how medications would help or have had experiences with bad psychiatrists. A point I found ridiculous and offensive to a great extent, however, was how mental illnesses were portrayed as if a patient with some strong will would overcome them without hospitalization, psychiatric help or medication, just his ""heart"" as pointed by the wife in the movie. This was utterly stupid, this is a disease who sick people should be taught how to cope with, or in other words, a state of mind that you have to learn to live with. However, there's a very important aspect clarified here: disorders are not things you have to get rid of or cure, rather than states of mind or in other words, chronic cases, medication should help in some cases, therapy would help greatly too in a lot of cases, and you have to cope with it. Pain makes the most beautiful and the wisest people as I have seen in my life, especially mental and psychological pain, and if the patient/individual knew how to learn from it. 4- Technical Details: The acting was marvelous and the soundtrack stood out. The direction overall could have been a little better and of course, the writing is really criticized for all the deception. Overall, a movie recommended and shows a lot of reality for some people, but is a sorrow to see it transform true people's stories into fabrications.",7 "In an interview, he explained that we confusion wealth and competence. And that the power of billionaires is too big, etc. So we end up with a caricature whose point is to ""prove"" than on can be very rich, very powerful and yet stupid. The rest is like this: fascination/jealousy with everything money can buy, childlike need to destroy... Too bad because in the middle of the political manifesto written by a teenager going through his revolt phase, there are some very good scenes. So do not expect the brilliance of Knives Out, any kind of subtlety but if you disconnect your brain, you can enjoy it at a very primitive level.",6 "This film chronicles the life of American mathematician John Nash, a genius considered one of the most remarkable mathematicians of the twentieth century. I confess I did not know him until I saw the film, but I found it interesting how he tells his life, using his life's adventures to make the story more appealing to the public. Not everything the film shows is exactly true but if we except the writer's creative and narrative freedoms, the film is close enough to reality for a biopic. Russel Crowe plays the protagonist, and he does it in a generally good way. The big problem of his interpretation was the strange and somewhat forced accent he used, and that I confess I did not understand.",6 "Triller,action,suspence. Characters very nice, story unique.",9 "I recently watched Raid.It is true that heroes always don't come in uniform.One of the most excellent thriller after Badshaaho. The synopsis is a new story based on the longest IT Raid in 1981 at Lucknow.It is about a fearless income tax officer Amay Patnaik (Ajay Devgn) who decides to take out all black money hidden in the house of tauji,the powerful man in Lucknow.Now,Patnaik's wife was in fear and Raid starts.Amazing Thriller with a lot of suspense,Action etc.Then at climax how Patnaik opens the mask of tauji. I really liked it.It is a very interesting movie.I enjoy it.Please the movie is still running at theatres.Please watch it who have missed it. THANK YOU.",10 "As a big fan of MCU, this was the worst MCU movie made. Easily. I don't understand the hype.",3 "Some guys are driving around Florence in a lime green Alfa Romeo. They are escaping countless other cars, SUVs, motorcycles and billions of bullets being shot. This is at the end of some type of mission which went very wrong. Inside are the driver who ends up dead after all this, the passenger called 1, a pretty Dr. 5, a CIA spook who has been shot and is being operated by 5. Elsewhere part of the team are an angry frustrated hitman, and a robber/parkour artist. When this is over we learn that 1 is a self-made tech billionaire who decided to improve the world so he decided to assemble this team and take out bad guys. They all have to fake their deaths and then live as ""ghosts."" Their base is an old plane out in the plane graveyard in the California desert. The next mission is to take out the dictator of Turgistan. 1 replaces the driver with...a sniper for some reason. The plan involves staging a coup, taking out the bad dictator, and installing his brother in power. The dictator has his brother basically prisoner in a mansion. So first they have to free the brother, then take over the airwaves with a message to get the people to revolt, and finally grab the dictator and turn him over to the people to face justice. All of this takes forever and is overly complicated and as with Bay movies, all the brain-frying action and noise eventually backfires and make you lose interest and track of whatever the main story is supposed to be. And as with most big budget action movies there's a dizzying amount of globe-trotting going on although here it seems they are going in circles around the same couple of countries often playing the unbelievable role of other countries. In terms of characters, we learn that the hitman has a mother in a convalescent hospital, he starts a relationship with the CIA spook. For a moment there it seemed like we would learn how 1 recruited everybody on the team, but we only learn that for the robber and of course for the sniper. Infuriatingly underused is 5 played by the gorgeous Adria Arjona. We learn noting about her and she doesn't get to do a whole lot in the movie. What makes this movie a bit different is that even though the members of the team are all pros at their respective jobs, the missions tend to go awfully wrong, so that's a bit refreshing here. This isn't the glamorous team that plans impossible jobs and has everything go its way while posing around like models. We are also spared some type of sermonizing which action movies like to do as well of late. I haven't seen Bay movies in decades, but I do enjoy the bright, colorful cinematography also used in 6 Underground. The action is cool, fun, violent, gory. But again somewhere 3/4 into the movie we needed a break from all the mayhem. The characters are ok, the story is alright. The script is ""written-for-Reynolds"" type stuff. Perhaps slightly less annoying than usual, but still, the bickering between 1 and the hitman could have been toned down. No surprise that it came from the same people behind Deadpool. Reynolds should distance himself from this stuff, it's starting to turn into a caricature of a caricature. Recommended as a fun wild ride of an action movie.",7 "This satirical comedy(?) is definitely an unique take to the war, through the eyes of a young boy. However, while Waititi's comedic touch was a welcoming addition to Thor Ragnarok, it did not work so well in this film. Due to its outrageous but family friendly tone which keeps jumping from one to another, I find it hard to approach this film in the right manner to perhaps get the most out of it. It felt like the film was trying to find the fine balance between solemnity and comedy throughout but never achieved it. This inconsistency made me invest in the main characters less and made me wonder if there was indeed any hidden story morals at all to take out from. That being said, this film has strong casts, with Scarlet and Roman standing out the most. So kudos to them. The whole atmosphere of this film feels more like a spin off or an abridged version of something greater, I feel like it is too casual and forced for its own good, especially when related to the second world war. All in all, a good popcorn flick with a somewhat heart warming ending with a message or two. By no means the over hyped masterpiece that others make it out to be in my opinion. Chances are you will either like it or not depending on your take on its tone.",6 "I don't know what all the big fuss is about this movie. Unless you really love musicals, I would not watch it. When people break out in sing and dance in the middle of a scene I just want to vomit. I normally like Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, but for me even they cannot save this movie. And the story is just plain boring. I admit I loathe musicals, but even the music is bad. It is the kind of music to listen too if you want to fall asleep. It was a struggle to make it to the end of this movie. I only watched it to see what every one was talking about, but I wish I hadn't. And for sure it is not Oscar worthy, good thing it was a mistake it won Best Picture, because that would just be ridiculous.",3 "Karl Urban sounds like Dick Van Dyke in the original Mary Poppins film . The Boys is a good show but what spoils it for me is Karl Urban's appalling British accent . It's comical! . So when he's trying to be verbally threatening and abusive , it's laughable.and he sounds s.tupid . Also the cockney phrases he uses are ridiculous , nobody speaks like that! And he uses them in the wrong context! . And his intonation is wrong! It's terrible ! It's a big show with 4 seasons , so I would have thought that they would have had an excellent voice coach. . But clearly they haven't . I'm shocked that the director accepted this terrible British accent from Urban ! Karl Urban is good actor so I'm surprised that he accepted that his accent sounded British cockney . They should have let him keep his native New Zealand accent. The show would have been great if the main male lead playing a 'tough guy ' didn't sound like a comical character in a Disney Comedy movie.",7 "I am halfway through this movie at present so perhaps it is not fair to judge it yet. Nevertheless that is what I am doing while watching. This is the bones of a great movie - it has been well shot and has great atmosphere but it is so ponderous in its execution that it leaves one anxious and wanting to shout ""Get on with it!!"" The director has held onto scenes and shots far too long to entertain the viewer - it becomes ultimately boring. Daniel Day-Lewis overplays most of the time and underplays the rest of the time. His voice reminds me of Jack Palance -it is rather mannered and does not really convince. Only Mr Palance can do it. 2 hours and 40 minutes is more than is needed to tell this tale and the soundtrack just does not suit the movie at all for the most part. I want to see how it pans out so I may hold on until the end but the fact that I am writing this while watching it tells me I am losing interest.",3 "Watching ""The Lighthouse"" you will watch several onanisms: Robert Pattinson's character onanisms and director's onanism: the movie itself. Well crafted (nice photography and music), correct cinematography and well played by Pattinson and Dafoe, but soulless, boring and repetitive. This movie has the same problem than ""Midsommar"" and ""Us"", it is too self conscious, and the director likes himself a lot. All these films have great imagery, but you can't build a movie only with that. A good example: Mandy. A masterpiece with a fantastic imagery and with soul, a movie that leaves you with a deep impression and impact. If elevated horror are Eggers, Aster's Midsommar (Hereditary is great) and Peele, I will always be a prosaic horror guy.",3 "Once you get beyond the exceptional opening scene you swiftly descend into an increasingly ridiculous tale which is barely kept afloat by the excellence of Richard Madden. The middle episodes are really baggy, which is criminal given the short shrift which is given to the revelations in the finale. These were arrived at in a fashion so nonsensical they make you yearn for the intellectual heft of 24.",4 "Better than Dunkirk is all I took from the movie. Some unrealistic plots, surreal filming crossing apocalypse now and oh what a lovely war. Worth a watch if only to enjoy the first 15 mins.",5 "I have seen 6 episodes and in each episode there are some very funny moments, but this is countered by the over the top unnecessary violence and gore that the series has incorporated, this really makes the show unwatchable for some scenes. These scenes are meant to be done in a comical way, if thats possible, but still they are really graphic and over the top leaving nothing to the imagination. The swearing is pretty bad as well. Overall, the plot has been done many times before, but it is still watchable and funny in places. I would have gave it an 8 but the unnecessary gore and violence drops my rating down to a 7.",7 "This is a movie for people with Attention Deficit Disorder. Its herky jerky cinematography is a complete distraction. It borders on annoying. Typical Michael Bay, honestly. Ryan Reynolds is like able, when you can hear what he's saying.",4 "This is perhaps one of the best shows ever made, and the best part is that it keeps getting better and better every season. Firstly you will be confused as to why i am watching this at all but once you get a hang of it you wont regret any second that you spent watching it. I am really gonna miss this series and would hope to have more seasons of it or have another such series.",10 "When it's good it's very, very good, and when it's bad it's horrid. It gets an A+ for edgy, and spell binding scenes, but a D when it goes into human relations. Plenty of plot twists and one big one at the end is bound to make many groan at the screen. They drag out the final big scene which in real life would have ended by our hero getting to the point more quickly. Many of the professionals come across as nitwits, but then that may be because they're not in on the real machinations that viewers are. The last half hour doesn't build as much as let the air out.",7 "Went back to watch this film after seeing Captain Marvel which I thought kicked ass. The first Iron Man I went back to watch too which still holds up very well. However, Winter Soldier is the best! Great story, great characters, and without a doubt the best super hero action ever put on screen. I loved the darker path they took after MCU's phase 1 where Steve Roger's after coming out of the ice, and the alien battle in New York, he's still trying to get used to modern society and must protect everyone in danger. Black Widow is amazing and very sexy. No one can ever replace her cause she completely nails it. All in all, it's a 10 out of 10. Greatest Captain America of the 3",10 "We Bangladeshi people felt very offended after seeing this movie. the whole environment is shown in the movie actually filmed in INDIA. in the name of Bangladesh, it has been shown we are terrorist & slumdogs. ""Netflix"" you are going to lose a big market very soon if you don't explain & apologise.",1 "Calling ""The Matrix"" a science fiction movie is a massive abuse of the English language. Science fiction presumes a basis in an existing or projected law of science. At least this is the principle which gives substance to the wildest speculations of masters such as Arthur C Clarke (who has a first class physics degree). This film is better categorized as a science fantasy, i.e. one where the authors use the pretence of science as a fig leaf to disguise the total inanity and incoherence of their project. Even fairy tales work within their own framework of law which gives tension and excitement to the surreal adventures. In ""The Matrix"" laws are not even made up as they go along, as that would impede the next stream-of-consciousness stunt. It makes a great special effect if a character leaps tall buildings at a single bound or recoils from a road surface after falling from a 500 foot building. Unfortunately it also removes any possibility of the audience taking him to be even a far-fetched human character, and hence destroys any possibility of genuine thrills. These creatures can survive being run over by a subway train and even death itself. Hence the most risible Lazarus scene since ""ET"" - Keanu is revived from the tomb by the love of a good woman. You can make tennis easier to play by removing the net and rubbing out the lines; unfortunately you thereby destroy the game. Similarly The Matrix fails to exist as any sort of half-coherent movie if you want a movie to consist of more than a string of sensational images. Unlike AC Clarke's work, this screenplay fails to betray even a high school awareness of science in ""explaining"" its universe, the war between machines and humans, or the rationale for the machines sucking the life force of humans - not to mention the hokey insertion of an old style soothsayer into this ""scientific"" farago. I give it 2 out 10 - one for sheer chutzpah in raising $60 million on the basis of such a ludicrous script and 1 for set design and special effects combined.",2 "LMFAO, there is some seriously LAME stuff in this movie. Afleck doesn't seem to realize the level of technology available in 1979 nor the incredible barrier between counties then. What a joke. The worst is when they are ""checking in"" and one second their reservations are not in the system and then - thanks to the CIA's by-a-nats-hair approval, the reservations are available the next second. WTF: no internet, remember! The U.S., at that time, had few computers, and Iran had probably almost none! The story and direction in this movie is completely stupid. I'm not 10 years old!!! Otherwise, an OK movie, but so hyped, its not really more than a ""TV movie"". I can't believe its up for awards. I thought Airplane-2 was more believable, and that was a comedy!!!!",5 "Obvious cash grab, these people don't care about gaming culture and whatnot they only wants the money, I'm sure many creative people are involved in the making of this but still. The streamers cameo is probably the worst thing after the story, boring, bland, predictable and uninteresting. The whole game is so unartistic, supposed to be a free world game where crime is everywhere they instead made it look like Candy Crush. I don't recall myself laughing at any of the jokes, they're not cringe they're just not funny. Ryan Reynolds once again being Ryan Reynolds not necessarily a bad thing but I'm kind of fed up with the guy. I do realize that movies like this are made for entertainment, but if by entertainment means making me fall asleep they sure did their job.",3 "I found this film frustratingly emotional but lacking the ability to really push me towards caring about the characters that I wanted to care about. I've read about many of the scenes that Spielberg painted in this film (from past documentaries on him) and I felt like this was just a collection of those scenes and the ending scenes were all rather pointless. I think a real historical drama on Spielberg getting various movies made ( like Jaws or Close encounters) with his teenage years just given a (first half of the movie) sequence, would have worked better. Overall, it was okay, entertaining enough to keep my kind off the flight I was on, however, it's not Spielberg's best work.",7 There may be some slower moments every now and then but I would argue that there isn't a single episode that bad throughout the entire series. Hopefully Marvel Studios can give more attention and appreciate for this series in the future. It definitely deserves it.,10 Excellent work by Abhishek bacchan and Rajkumar Roa. Story develops at nice pace.. comedy is decent. Personally i feel like role of Rajkumar Roa was very tough...but he was simply amazing in this film..superb acting..!!,10 "Let's start with why it's overrated. The plot is boring. Yes, boring. A space action movie that's boring with is an accomplishment, kind of. This is happening a lot with Hollywood where writers are paid a thousand bucks to write a script and a billion dollars on special effects. Compare and contrast to the tense and gripping scifi film ""Moon"". Or ""Dark Star"". But if those aren't mainstream enough, consider Planet of the Apes (original) made on a shoestring budget. You can make a great scifi film without a lot of money. Next, the acting. Big stars in big, empty roles. Their pedigrees actually made me ask why the film is so boring. Like the astronauts, they gasped for air to be interesting in stereotypical roles and failed. Consider great scifi movies with nameless talent at the time: Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and a villain you never even get to see his face and robots. Next, the embarrassment part: The India mars mission cost less than the film, something they are proud of. The USA space program had a greater day and now Hollywood spends similar money to make sub-par films that used to put men on the moon. Shameful. Disgusting. Finally, I suppose the biggest problem with the film is that the space station itself is boring much like a bus station in space. Aging Soviet rockets take astronauts and cosmonauts to 70's era style cans to monitor experiments and then back down to Earth. Nothing groundbreaking. When was the last time you watched space station footage with excitement? Since the real thing is boring, how to make an improbable real life scenario interesting? Lifeforce (space sex vampires on the space shuttle) was more fun (for the love of God, I'm glad Sandra Bullock wasn't cast in that leading role!) Hmm, perhaps something more fun would be a MURDER in space. Perhaps someone dies on the station while everyone is asleep and they try to solve the mystery on the ground. That crazy diaper wearing astronaut could be the inspiration. Hmmm.... I should write that up and register it as a screenplay...",2 What an absolute snore fest. I started checking how long was left at about half an hour in. Who knew a 1h55m movie could feel like it was 5 hours long.,2 "There's nothing new to see here. It's not riveting, it's just another like all of the others of this type. So much is made of the Delco/Philly ""accent"", well, I'm Philly, born and raised and I say, no. The only word that I heard that was on point was, ""home"". There's nothing heavy about any of the accents. So I'm left to conclude that most of these ""reviewers"" are plants and phonies.",1 "Trish marigold is white with red hair, I dont care about the other one but it bothered me alot about trish, come on netflix if you want to be more diverse the add character, dont ho changing existing characters.",8 "Steven Spielberg always left me entertained, but often disappointed in comparison with his fellow directors in his generation due to his often heavy handed sentimentality. In this film, it could have been even more of an issue as it's clearly a deeply personal film... it's not. It's absolutely a revelation. There isn't a misplaced scene & the acting is phenomenal. I don't wish to add any details at all about the plot as it's something I think lovers of the cinema should see & they should see it in a theater. Don't stream this unless it's your only choice... not for CGI, but for the overwhelming power of the communal artistic experience of sitting in a dark room & having a story unfold. Beautiful. Bravo!",10 "I am afraid Mizuna cannot carry her role. The artifice shows through.The music is distracting instead of complimenting. Well the show attempts to be deep and intriguing, so far it has shown a shallow nod to both physics and philosophy.",3 """Anger begets greater anger."" says Penelope (Samara Weaving), Mildred's (Frances McDormand) ex-husband's totally non stereotypical nineteen year old new girlfriend, who delivers the film's theme in what is supposed to be another comedic moment where we are all supposed to laugh at this beautiful but shallow girl's attempt at sounding smart, and yet, it falls flat, like the vast majority of both dramatic and comedic moments. I just want to clarify before going any further that In Bruges, Martin McDonagh's directorial debut, is one of my absolute favorite films. One that navigates comedy and drama perfectly, brilliantly written and acted, I could go on for days on how perfect In Bruges is, in my humble opinion. Sadly, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri fails miserably where In Bruges succeeded. It constantly tries to navigate the difficult line between dark comedy and drama, and mostly, it falls flat on its head. The thematic thread may be to blame here. Without spoiling the plot, the setup is simple: Frances McDormand wants some form of justice for her daughter's brutal murder. She gets the local police department's attention by setting up three billboards complaining about their inability to solve the case. But her action only generates more conflict in town and while it does draw attention to her daughter's case, it leads to increasing tension between her and pretty much everyone else around her. Her anger literally begets more anger and, ultimately, solves nothing. This is a surprisingly simple moralistic viewpoint coming from the man whose first film was so morally complex and ambiguous and it results in the creation of equally shallow characters and a plot that desperately tries to make sense of its many pointless turns. To be fair, McDonagh attempts to humanize its more prominent characters: Mildred (McDormand), in spite of being a tough and wooden most of the time, shows deep vulnerability in an unfortunately insufferably cheesy monologue she gives to a deer. Meanwhile, Dixon (Sam Rockwell), the ""black torturer,"" displays humanity later in the movie and tries really hard to find redemption when he is shown the way. Unfortunately those attempts are so sudden and awkward or poorly executed that they lack believability and feel like they were artificially implemented to make these characters seem deeper than they really are. Throughout the film, it feels like the filmmaker is more interested in hammering his simplistic viewpoint and using small town America as a perfect setting for it - even though it never feels like he has actually ever spent time there - than to craft a story with a coherent through line and inhabited by humane, relatable characters. There was so much talent involved in the making of this film - and in spite of everything, Sam Rockwell delivers a stellar performance - that it is truly frustrating that the end result be so mediocre. Hopefully, McDonagh will course correct on his next film.",4 "If you ever needed a reminder as to why nuclear war might not be in anybody's interest in a binge-worthy way... Story telling: 10/10 Acting: 10/10 Character development: 8/10.",9 "Watching a serie is difficult, if you are not trapped in the first one, the serie is doom! The first 3 episodes does not trapped any one... While the 4th is good, I trully beleaved the 4th episode should be the first one",7 "One of the best acting performance by Rakshit Shetty in his overall career. Many unique concept movies and I cant question his versatality. The dog is also one of the best actor in the movie. Didnt seemed like script. Very natural movie and acting performance. I watched this movie on theatre alone. I controlled my tears upto the last seen. But at the very end, I realized that it'd be DISRESPECTFUL if my TEARS ARE STOPPED in that NATURAL EMOTIONAL FEELING expressed by Dharma(the main character). Sir Rakshit Shetty, YOU GOT MY RESPECT👑 To the directors and team, thanks for making such a wonderful message giving movie♥🇳🇵",10 "This first season of The Witcher is a good adaptation of the books that mostly stay faithful to the books. Here is a quick pros and cons list of this show. The Good: Great cast overall : Henry plays a great Geralt, but he is far from being the only great actor. Dandelion is just perfect in every way, the guy does not play Dandelion, he IS, as he acts and sings the (great) ballads. As for Yennefer, I was not convinced by the casting of Anya Chalotra based on her looks, but boy this lady can act and makes a fine Yennefer. Great soundtrack Good visuals: The magic and Monsters are fine, not great but quite fine. The Bad:",8 "Don't get me wrong, I like Anthony Hopkins. I think he is a fine Actor who has made many valuable contributions to cinema. However, I always felt his depiction of Hannibal Lecter was too hammy for me. ""chianti and fava beans ffu ffu ffu ffu!"" made me burst out laughing when I first saw it! The crazy character he portrayed didn't gel with the cool, calculating predator that Hannibal Lecter is. I always viewed Hannibal as the Megeladon swimming amongst the great whites; the Predator of predators, if you will. Now enter Mads Mikkelsen. His portrayal of Hannibal Lecter is simply exquisite. I find myself completely mesmerised when he is on screen. I actually watch each episode twice (sometimes even more!). The first time for the story and the second time so that I can completely immerse myself in watching Mads. The impeccable way he holds himself, every movement and every look meticulously thought out, the subtle smile that plays upon his lips, the flash of predatory fire that glints in his eyes all of it is absolutely sublime. For me, Mad's play the perfect Hannibal Lecter. There are other outstanding cast members; Lawrence Fishburne plays an excellent Jack Crawford. Gillian Anderson, who plays Hannibal's Psychiatrist is glorious. I particularly love it when Hannibal and her are on screen together; there is definite chemistry between these two. I love Hettienne Park as Beverly and Eddie Izzard is superb as Dr Abel Gideon. Finally, Lara Jean Chorostecki plays an excellent, if unlikable, Freddie Lounds. Most of the remaining cast are strong. Obviously there are many smaller characters that are needed but don't have anything to do with the development of the story so I won't discuss those here. There are however, two main characters that for me don't really work. The first is Caroline Dhavernas as Dr Alana Bloom. I don't know what it is about her but she is just not right for the part at all. I've read that she is an excellent actress (I've never seen her in anything else so I can't be the judge of that) and I know she is adored by many but she just grates me every time she's on screen. This is just a personal opinion and I'm sure many would argue that she does a fine performance so don't let that put you off watching Hannibal. The second is Hugh Dancy as Will Graham. His portrayal of someone with aspergers, while correct in some ways, is all a bit too theatrical for my liking. If I had to sum up Hugh Dancy's Will Graham in one word I would have to pick 'Fragile' which is not really what Will Graham character is about. Sophia Helin did a much better job of playing a detective with aspergers in Broen (The Bridge). Story-wise Hannibal is, in the main, excellent. The pace is good, particularly in the first season. The second season started really well but has suddenly had a lull for about three episodes now and I hope the story picks up soon. Overall though it's very good. There's plenty of tension and horror; prepare for some grisly scenes! So whilst this show isn't perfect, you should be watching it because it is definitely good! If for no other reason, dip in to watch Mads Mikkelsen's performance. Gets a solid 8 / 10 rating from me.",8 "I went to see the first screening this morning, and it's a great movie (with some flaws). Let's start with the good things: The actors absolutely delivered, Chris Evans & RDJ are amazing in their respective roles, Spiderman & Black Panther were wonderful (couldn't have hoped for a better introduction for either of them). Scarlett Witch is great too (we get to see her power better now); and even Black Widow is an (much needed) improvement over AoU! It's an action-packed movie, with emotions, humour.. Anything a blockbuster should be. The cinematography was great, good storytelling, hats off to the Russo brothers. The Captain America trilogy finishes on a great note. However, it is not without flaws: The main issue is that once again, Marvel didn't get the villain right. He was completely useless & I believe the movie would have been better without him. His plan was surrealistic & couldn't possibly happen. The humour was sometimes inappropriate, in the way that people wouldn't crack a joke when getting beaten I praised the action-scenes earlier, but they dragged and in the end, you are left quite tired. Then.. the relationship between Bucky & Cap, while enjoyable some times, felt forced -- but that is minor. The soundtrack was okay-ish, nothing memorable (like most Marvel movies) Last but not least, I felt the movie is.. forgettable. It doesn't stay on the mind, all the movie's depth comes from the characters, not the story itself.. and in the end, it has no impact at all. ----- To sum up, even if it has some issues, I believe Civil War is a highly enjoyable movie, and is worth every cent of the ticket!",7 Started watching and can't stop. Bringing witchcraft and the supernatural to the 21st century. Can't wait for season 2.,10 "Unfortunately, most reviews that I've read here that score this film poorly explain so clearly that the reviewer did not understand the message of the film. It is not anti-men, it does not portray men as ""stupid"". Take a moment to think about how women have been portrayed in movies over the last century - oh yes, just as Ken is here! The movie exaggerates this, yes. That is the point. To clearly (and humourously) highlight the inequalities when the roles are reversed. Stop being offended by something that isn't offensive and take a bit of time to actually think about the film that you have watched. The film was fun, emotional, moving, sad and empowering in many ways. I must admit I hadn't expected to enjoy this film, but wow, what a surprise!",9 "The brilliant marketing is what led us tonight to pay for the tickets. The brilliance ends there. Performance of the lead actors is very good - as good as you may expect given the very poor story and weak directing. And that's it. The humour is forced. The satire is replaced by lectures conveyed by characters. All the ""bad"" characters are absolutely flat, lacking any depth. Even dancing is very poorly choreographed. Whatever you may expect from the trailers is missing in the movie. The photography is good though. So the average is 5/10 It is another plainly bad movie that is trying to hide behind agenda.",5 "Realism_ OK, i'm currently in high school. I know how high schoolers behave, and act. People claiming that ""Oh, This show is so real"" are simply incorrect. This show is over saturated to a point where all realism it had, is gone. It might just be, that i go to the quietest and most peaceful high school in the universe, but in my school, people don't try to rape each other. We don't spread rumors, especially rumors of such a caliber featured in the show. Concept: This concept, is nothing short of genius. I know it's based on a book by Jay Asher, and not just a TV show. The only bad thing about this concept, with the tapes, is that it leaves no room for multiple seasons. But just the idea, with the tapes and such is both capturing, scary and thrilling. Cinematography: The Filming on this show is OK. Apart from the changes from past to present, it doesn't leave a lot of room for good cinematography. The segways between past and present are good though. It doesn't even come close to the filming in other shows of such great renown, like Breaking Bad. The reason i believe that the show falls flat: THE OVERSATURATION OF EVERYTHING. You're supposed to feel sympathy for Hannah, yet i fell nothing else than resentment, and sometimes anger. She blames everyone else for her own shortcomings and flaws, and it gets to a point where its straight up annoying. i'm not going to point out any examples, as i want this review to be spoiler free, so you'll have to see for yourself. Overall thoughts: This show is mediocre, but could've been so much more. The book it was based on is an amazing read, but the series adaptation has so many more flaws. It has potential, yet falls flat",2 "About ten minutes in I was 100% certain this was a michael bay pic without even looking it up. He loves doing constant fast cuts but he doesnt have an eye for it so its this rapid shot of aimless disconnected scenes like in the transformers films where you get a headache trying to follow the action. Secondly he really likes extreme sports so of course one of the hit guys thing is parkour and you get these silly shots of him jumping around in slow motion not having any involvement in the action. Lastly every scene is shot in shimmery sunset filter. Even when people are just sitting there doing nothing the camera is spinning around to some stupid brojock music video soundtrack. I actually tried to stick with it despite all that because I like RR but I was also just..so..bored. The good guys are obnoxious jerks, the evil guys are one note and the story is childish. Seriously just go watch Gross Point Blank again or something instead. This is insulting big budget trash.",1 "Fresh off directing Logan and making waves with Walk the Line, James Mangold has created a car racing epic that is much better than Rush.",7 "The action of this film was mind blowing by the Superbly talented my favourite actor. But the main villain acting was average!! Accent Kolkata, playing bollywood music in background but the seen is in Dhaka! Oh most interested thing when dhaka police announced by using hindi language that ""Hamn tum ko.. ""! Hahaha . Although Story and acting awesome.",7 "Argo is being hailed as one of the best films of the year and has a very good chance of being nominated for many Academy Awards next year and maybe even winning Best Picture. When the film had ended in the theatre in which I saw it, most of the audience applauded, but I did not and to be completely honest, I do not get all the hype and praise that this film is getting. Yes, technically it is a well made film, but to say anything else other than that and then I would be lying. Critics have called it riveting from start to finish, but I actually found the film dragged quite a bit and to me was quite dull. I also didn't think the mix of the scenes of the characters in Hollywood and then jumping to the hostages in Iran worked. It did not work because in these Hollywood scenes they are mostly played for laughs and supposed to be humorous with Alan Arkin's character and his foul mouth and John Goodman's character who is kind of oblivious to the Hollywood scene. This all was supposed to be funny and whether I laughed, or not was not the issue, but I found having a good part of the film being like that and then going over and trying to be all serious and tense with the hostage situation in Iran did not feel suitable. I didn't find the film could find the right balance between the humour in the Hollywood scenes and the more melodramatic and political scenes taking place in Iran. It all felt quite out of place and I didn't feel it complimented, or followed up each scene well because of it. It just felt awkward and like poor screen writing. Another problem I had was that I found a lot of the characters, especially the hostages to be quite smug and arrogant. I really have no idea whether this was intentional on the film's behalf, or not, but I found that they got on my nerves after awhile and because of that I could not relate, or feel any empathy, or compassion towards them which is a big flaw for a film like this because I think the film wanted you to be very concerned about these hostages and by giving them more personality and allowing us to care for them, I think the tension and our relationship and attitudes about them would be a lot different and I think if they had done that, the film would have impacted me more. I know it was my own choice to go see Argo, and pay the almost ten dollars I spent to see it, but I have to admit that these type of stories are just getting tiresome to me. Almost everyday on the news I see terror in the world and different regions against each other and a lot of hatred and violence going around. I watch it on the news to see what is happening in the world and to keep up on current events, but at the same time it does get to me from time to time and sometimes I am flat out tired of seeing all this negativity and hatred towards one another. Because of that, Argo felt to me like a news story I had seen one too many times this, or any other week recently and I just was not in the mood to see a two hour movie about it. That may have been my fault walking into a movie like this, but I have to be honest and say my opinions about it. There were also parts of the film that felt overly glamorous to appeal to a wide audience and a lot of it seemed to be made in such a way that it would cater to people and especially Oscar voters. Oscar voters love films like this and going by the way the audience I was with reacted, they did too. However to me it just felt forced and like it was trying to glamorize everything a little too much for those miniature bald statues. I do commend Ben Affleck for trying to make a serious film and I think he has come a long way in his career and he showed great promise with his last directorial effort The Town, but Argo simply did not work for me.",6 "All front and no knickers, as my gran used to say! Proof indeed that throwing megabucks at a project does not guarantee success. The actors all seem tense, as if they are only there for the dough, especially Daniel Craig. The sets are a grandiose and unconvincing confection. The plot is shallow and obvious. The origin movie, Knives Out was truly surreal and intriguing with much more persuasive character portrayals. It provoked interest and curiosity. And in that case the actors appeared to be actually enjoying themselves. So, in conclusion, Glass Onion is a cynical sequel, all smoke and mirrors and no substance. Daniel, if you are there, you are a far far better actor than this ... or your Bonds either.",4 I have to admit I was worried when Henry Cavill was cast as Geralt but he has proved me wrong and has played him perfectly.,9 "I'll be completely honest, when I first started this series I wasn't hooked. The first episodes play like a normal crime show and it took me a while to understand Will Graham - for me he wasn't a very strong character at first - but then from the middle of season 1 and to the final scene in season 3, it is a stunningly grotesque masterpiece. Everything ages like great wine, and the relationship between the characters are beautifully twisted. Be warned though, this is a brutal show that contains content that should never be seen by children or the fainthearted. If you are sensitive to gore, be prepeared to look away. The show also contains toxic relationships. For me this the best series that I have seen in a long time. The cast, the visuals and even the clothing are spotless.",10 I heard that this movie was good so what did I have to lose ? Well two hours of my time is what I lost. I would have rather watched Thor again. I'm not sure what the young people see in these movies. The special effects weren't even special because they were not possible to begin with. The first ten minutes was the best ten minutes of the movie. Please folks don't waste your time on this movie. If you're like me you'll come away and say what was that mess I just watched. Go rent or buy Hacksaw Ridge and enjoy a great two hours.,4 "It's every kid's dream to go into space and one day venture into our Universe. With our galaxy alone being so large, it's no wonder that becoming an astronaut is a dream for many people since it is a chance for silence, beauty and peace. But what if there was suddenly no one to hear you. The black space full of stars was now filled with shrapnel headed towards you at very fast speeds. What if you no longer had no control over yourself? Gravity is an excellent movie with arguably Sandra Bullock's best performance of her career. With George Clooney as the perfect co-astronaut, the exceptional casting in this film definitely helped. The thought of wandering the Universe and exploring the unknown ends is a dream to some while drifting away without end is a nightmare for others. Overall, Gravity is a great film due not only to its superb special effects or compelling acting, but because it strokes the strings in every person's heart for adventure and thrill. It is a reminder of what our Universe has to offer and the potential for all that can happen to us.",7 Griffin civilx inch don't do what cookbook started jump Gucci sweet bunk log De Sawa away no fetch zest bunk occurs seen Munich Odyssey Jojo l occurs cookbook,9 "I found it to be a surprising grand piece of comedic, satire story telling, again concerning questions of gender roles and toxic masculinity. By the end I was moved to tears for Barbie AND Ken. It represented to me many issues of modern times and things I was confronted with in real life. The candy pop world and performances added so much to it to support the story and as a set designer I found the Barbieworld of course mesmerizing, melancholic and so well done. I hope, apart from all the social media hype, it will do some good in the world, heals girls, women, boys and men... and all those men who got dragged by their girlfriends and found it a reminder we dont need the other gender to support our worth.

Sure, I'm a feminist and I'm happy a woman got to direct this film, but... this is just boring. Like Basil Court said, bad dialogue, bad CGI, horrible choice of accompanying music throughout. Big yikes, because this could've been such a good moment in film, but Basil is right again as this does not in the slightest compare to the Marvel films that capture audiences.",3 "Seriously, miss the first hour! Up until the murder the film is slow, pointless and dull, dull, dull. The script is embarrassing at times and the murder takes so long to arrive, you've lost interest in it anyway. It picks up after the murder but that's not saying much given the depths it had plummeted to by then. The twists (such as they are) are poor and derivative and would shame even the cheapest, throw-away thrillers. The characters are unbelievable in every conceivable way and make you weep with a sense of loss as you compare it, inevitably, with the first film's brilliant acting and writing. Re-watch the first one!",3 "Maybe I'd feel little bit different if I haven't binged this show 'till the sunrise... but boy oh boy that last episode! It's criminal it made me give it 1 star. Thing is first 5 episodes are really good. it's 8+ stars, yeah that good. But finale... it's disaster. It had killed bunch of my brain cells. it's one of those shows that made you hate yourself for bingeing until the end! If you want my advice, don't bother watching since ending is what it is, and will completely ruin your experience.",1 "First off, ignore everyone saying it's a masterpiece. I love Gangster movies and The Sopranos but this is average at best. If you like Mob stuff like me you will recognise a lot of actors in this, but the sight of too many familiar faces and big names are a bit immersion breaking in this movie imo. I know it sounds mean but it is true what they say, unfortunately the old guys are getting a bit too old for this. You will see what I mean. The first half is quite boring but it gets better, the film seems to lack focus and after two hours I still wasn't sure who the film was actually about. Mainly because there is not one true main character it is shared between Pesci, Deniro and Pacino. It doesn't work very well. It's not a bad film! There are some good scenes especially between Graham and Pacino. Go watch it for yourself, see what you think .",5 "I was really looking forward to watching this. I do not like it for the following reasons: 1) Clichéd and predictable. 2) 'pretty' agents are not experienced and just thrown into the missions. 3) Consistent pushed humor that is not funny. I gave the show a chance by watching the first 3 episodes. But all i can say now is that there is no art to the production of this show. It seems MARVEL is pushing too many movies and shows and it's getting a little old now. Hopefully the producers and directors go into a more mature direction, until then, i will suspend viewing it.",3 "The Godfather 2 has a lot of content to analyze, to enjoy, it is the second part of an interesting story and he still does not fully understand it. It decays a little with respect to the first one, it is like deeper and perhaps that is what makes something slow, whatever it is that I understand 100% I think it is necessary to see it more than once (in my opinion). It is very good too and the final scenes had to extend a bit since they were wonderful.",8 "Before watching Spider-Man No Way Home (2021), I decided to re watch all the previous Spider-Man movies. However, I wanted to wait to review all the Spider-Man's until after I saw No Way Home so I could get a true rating. Every single Spider-Man movie was amazing, and this one was high on the list. Like I said, all the movies were great, but this one was better than the first. The first thing I liked was how we are getting to see the main characters grow up and develop. The jumps in years between the movies plays out really well, because when we start each movie, we need to catch up on what the character had been doing. This movie also had a great plot and acting. I don't know how to explain it, but the plot really worked for me. I really enjoyed it. Also, everyone who reprised their roles did so perfectly, but the new villain, Doc Ock was amazing. Alfred Molina did a phenomenal job as Dr. Otto Octavius. He is up there with Willem Dafoe being the best Spider-Man villain of all time. Lastly, the final battle was unreal. Everything from the execution of the scene to the acting to the actual scene itself was crazy. Especially the train scene with Peter. That is iconic. I definitely recommend this to everyone. Spider-Man fans, superhero fans, even regular people ei like it. Also, if you are going to see No Way Home, make sure to watch this and all other Spider-Man movies. It is worth it.",10 "This is a tonally confused conclusion to a tonally confused trilogy. Despite enjoying his role in The Avengers, I never liked the Thor standalone films. Knowing that, I approached this one with a degree of the cynicism I wish I'd had walking into the other two. In this regard, I'm amazed that I managed to be let down anyway. Like Iron Man 3 or, indeed, the first Thor movie, the story is entirely secondary to how many jokes they can make. This worked for The Guardians of the Galaxy or Fox's Deadpool, but they had the advantage of making up for thin, predictable plots with being funny (even after multiple viewings). But, in this case, the ongoing attempt at humour is largely restricted to ""Expectation vs. Reality"" sight gags or acts of out-of-character incompetence and buffoonery that ruin the tension and lessen the stakes. In effect, the film deflates itself and it's epic mythological roots in favour of ""safely"" playing off the events of the Norse endtimes as a comedy for small children. Despite a slew of respected veteran actors, many of the cast seem to be either reading the script off of a teleprompter in real-time for the camera or have been asked to self-deprecatingly improvise in favour of any of the three screenwriters to actually finish a scene. Hemsworth, Hiddleston and Ruffalo are all at total lowpoints for their Marvel characterizations thus far, more seeming to be personally goofing off on the occasion that I believe a word they're saying. Again, the pervasive levity renders it impossible to take anything seriously. The only reason that this is getting so generous a score is that the visual effects were entirely adequate. Not good, adequate. At it's best, this film is functional. But, on average, it's a choppy mess with mediocre acting from people who desperately deserve a much better script. If you feel the need to not miss any possible reference points in Infinity War, then you could waste your time on something worse, but a technically inferior picture would probably prove more entertaining in a perverse way. It's no weaker than it's titular predecessors, but that means little in the way of enjoyability.",4 "Notice the positive reviews of this and every other XMen/Wolverine movie. They all claim ""masterpiece"", ""the best superhero movie eveeeeeeeeeeeer"", and ""this is how you make a superhero movie"". The positive reviews are canned, scripted, generated by publicists. This movie wants to be Terminator. It even uses similar music as the perfect killing machine stalks a little girl protected by the imperfect killing machine. Like other Boreverine movies, this one takes away Wolverine's healing because the writers don't know how to handle it. The Wolverine from the comic books is weakened and supposedly humanized. But what's left is a Wolverine bereft of what makes him super and bereft of all emotion. Can we get a superhero movie that's about a hero?",1 "You will be glued once you start watching it... Each episode is simply amazing and you wont even realize that 1.5 hrs have passed! Every episode connects to the other. The story telling is just brilliant. I found it better than the movie. Being set in 21st century, you can connect to it more. Always love the arrogance of Sherlock! The last episode of second season is simply amazing and you wont be able to guess what is about to happen. Would have loved it if each season contained more episodes and have to wait a lot for the next season! I don't think direction and creativity can get better than this. So 10/10. :D",9 "Animation is beautiful, characters are relatable and real. The story arch is really amazing. The world building is out of this world. From Aang in season 1 to Aang in season 3, absolutely wonderful experience all the way through. This story driven show is unlike anything Nick has ever made, I recommend it to viewers of all ages! My roommates and I just watched the entire show through in about 3 weeks. Don't believe me? Watch a few episodes and see. You will be hooked and you will love it.",10 The series is TV series version of x-men. Their are various flaws specially in the screenplay. Sometimes characters are tuning with each other just fine and very next scene they are total strangers. So for me the writers could have done better job to make screenplay more interesting and smooth.,3 "Very weak plot, acting is mediocre, Writing is pathetic. Please don't waste your time. Only thing that is bearable is CGI.",1 "I don't have a habit of writing reviews. It was a treat to watch a beautifully done show. Fantastic cast. It goes without saying that these performers are each fantastic in their own right, but even so, performances across the board that are are genuine, relaxed, grounded, subtle yet full, etc, is not a guarantee. This is some of the most refined work I have seen these performers do. Bravo to direction and whatever else in the show environment facilitated this. Also, lovely writing that gently asserts a fresh step into this genre and is a fun addition to it. Other arts in the show are very strong too; sets, costumes, props, editing, cinematography, sound, etc. Such a pleasure to experience the world that they built and the way they portrayed it. On a personal note, as a native New Yorker who most recently lived on the Upper West Side and moved to California last year, I was grateful to see parts of my hometown and my most recent neighborhood, and so affectionately depicted. Thanks to all who contributed for this lovely art.",10 "Episodes 1-25 and the last two episodes are great, what is in between is decent, ending felt a little rushed",9 "Good filmmaking from Dauberman, this movie is fun and watchable but ultimately it's childish and not scary. The idea is like i said a lot of fun and the movie moves along briskly. However, when the credits roll you are left feeling unfulfilled. Your itch for a good scary horror movie, bloodless or not, is left unscratched. I have no idea how this movie got an R rating but because of it the viewer goes in with a different sort of view which actually probably helps the movie as far as the set up of the events. We are expecting something real scary so we are kept on our toes through out. The film meanders a bit in the third act and starts to become repetative and a bit dull, but then it somewhat pulls it back together for the final 5 minutes to give us a happy ending that soothes us to sleep in bed afterwards. Overall it's a decent piece of cinema and for Dauberman's directorial debut it isn't half bad. Expect to see many more big budget horror stories from Dauberman in the years to come.",5 "Has that classic, sitcom feel to it with a solid storyline. Worth watching! Loved it.",9 "No spoilers ahead. So, I went to see The Winter Soldier, today, and i loved it.It was amazing.Well, Marvel movies are always good but this is best of its kind.I didn't much like Captain America The First Avenger but this is absolutely worth watching and is a great Action-Thrilling movie.There were so many great scenes, acting was great and story was perfect. It is not just a superhero movie.So, don't wait just go and enjoy it.I highly recommend it to all of the people out there who are confused about what movie they should watch this weekend. P.S don't just walk out of there at credits..Do not miss Post-Credit Scenes.Thanks and have a good day.",10 "It's a good show. I'm a big fan of the games. Especially the 3rd. The problem is, the show seems like they spent too much time writing, but the writing is mediocre. A lot of it feels like green screened. I'm almost getting annoyed by Henry Calvin's one liners with his deep Geralt voice. The lighting is almost always dark. The detail isn't there. I'm only on the 4th episode and so far only one 2 minute fighting scene. No thrill, no suspense, no desire to want to binge watch. So much potential, but it almost feels like a bunch of 2020 actors dressed up in cheap costumes. You don't get sucked in like other Netflix originals, ""The king"" or ""Outlaw king""",7 "I was surprised to see people saying they preferred the second season. I thought the first series was good. I liked the abstract style, it was something different compared to what's out there at the moment. Season 2 however, I just found a bit dull and boring; you can predict the plot for the entire season in the first 10 minutes of the first episode. I just didn't find it anywhere near as gripping as the first season. The distinctive charm this show had in the first season was lost in season 2, for me.",5 "Felt like background noise with some interesting sound tracks to indicate drama, sorrow or some other teenage / young adult angst. I am sure the book is a splendid read but as a TV drama it's paint by numbers.",5 "Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Condition after partition, rural scenes, sincere love, friendship, coach – athlete relationship, discipline, hard work of athlete, etcetera all have been pictured well. I would deduct half a mark because I think movie could have been shortened by 15 minutes or so in second half (3.5/5). Tone: The movie depicts story of a Sikh who after partition moves to India. He grows rogue (because of what he witnesses) until the woman he loves addresses him to become a respected person. This makes him to join army where he finds his athletic skills. The later part is how he keeps on winning and bringing pride to India. At the end, Pakistan gives him the title 'The flying Sikh' and movie ends (4/5). Music: Music is very good (4.5/5). It highly adds to charm of the movie. Acting: Acting is very good (4/5). Final Verdict: It is worth adding to your DVD collection [(4/5) (9/10)].",9 "4 stars for the visuals and great effects. 0 star for the plot and the acting. All the characters walk slowly in the scenes. It's not survival situation, but tourism. They speak without any emotion. Serie B level.",4 "It's frustrating to watch a much-anticipated movie that doesn't quite live up to expectations. Such is the case with writer-director Cord Jefferson's debut feature. The problem here is that the film tries to tell two stories in one picture, one that it does brilliantly and one that could use some serious trimming, because the inclusion of its segments interrupts the flow every time it comes up during the course of the narrative. This tale of a talented but commercially unsuccessful African-American author (Jeffrey Wright) laments the success of a younger peer (Issa Rae) who writes a best-selling ""Black"" book that he sees as little more than market-pandering rubbish. However, in response, when he does the same under a pseudonym as a means of protest, he becomes an overnight sensation for all of the artistic and readership considerations that he personally despises. He now has to ask himself how can live with that kind of success, especially when the title becomes a runaway juggernaut. As he struggles with this, he's also faced with a family drama with the death of a relative, managing the future of care for his Alzheimer's-afflicted mother (Leslie Uggams) and a ne'er-do-well, self-centered sibling who's reluctant to help out (Sterling K. Brown). Unfortunately, the domestic story thread is overlong and tends to bog down the satirical social commentary/personal integrity aspects of the picture, which are really strong enough to stand on their own and should have been given wider play (fault the screenplay here). Despite its shortcomings, however, ""American Fiction"" definitely deserves kudos for the performances of its ensemble cast, especially Wright, who turns in his best work here and has garnered a number of awards season nominations already, with more undoubtedly to come. In all, though, this feels like an offering that's half-baked for what it serves up, which is regrettable, given that, with some shoring up in the writing, this easily could have become a modern screen classic.",6 Al pacino was the best part. 2 much give him a message. #phonegame lol lol.,3 "Uf. If i reach out to my phone to ""check"" things that is a clear sign that i am bored, and i was few times during this. As much as i liked a lot of things and i KNOW that this is called Wednsday for a reason, i just can not get Gomez out of my head. He is disgusting and sooo unlikable and I'm sorry to say it. Zero chemistry between them which is a TRADE mark of him and Mortisha. Overall i prefere Adams Family (i know it is not a competition) maybe i am to old for this. I don't know. Jena phenomenal, effects on point, i really liked the music. I am giving a solid 6. P. S I never watch things when trending, i wait. Late with the review.",6 "I loved the trilogy, specially first two movies were revolutionary. Which I can't say about the this part. Movie itself was so long and i felt like it was boring sometimes. Batman was just so week, basically as a suited up regular human. Cast was great as in all movies.",5 The novelty wore off quickly. Superhero show are rapidly becoming the boring Westerns of the 21st century. I watch one every two years or so and they're all the same. Too long and unlovable characters.,5 "Basically you see messy things like killings, distrust, disappointment, suspicious people and stories, sudden things, and it does not seem like it has ending, neither positive nor negative. Ending is like beginning, except that this time it is his son. Very negative and long. Not worth watching! Maybe good for older audience, as movie is old too. Old times, no devices, cars, or anything new I got used to.",4 "Episodes 1 and 2 really had me confused and annoyed, but it's all about the setup! I'm so glad I kept watching because all of my favorite elements about the show come to life again & I couldn't stop watching! I was so impressed with the story this season. If you can get past the visually disturbing & demonic elements (I covered my eyes for most of them lol) it's so worth it. The gang is on the case & leaving us on the edge of ours seats yet again.",9 "If you like DC superhero Batman, you sure are going to love this brilliantly made series. Here and there you may find some hint of typical Marvel content but most of the part has great screenplay and story telling. At times it story becomes dark and gritty which compels you to think like the characters. It's a pity that makers decided to discontinue the series. Great characters, great story and great performances!! Batman fans don't miss it.",8 They just want to made a movie but they dont have any thing good but just want some money and they just have 3 actors,2 "This show is targeting a very specific, slim demographic and we are not that demographic. We are not a teenage, Latinx girl who is an outcast that lives in a world filled with people that do not look or act like them. Is it the Addams Family? Not even close. This is not even a clever parody to the 1991 masterpiece film entitled The Addams Family directed by Barry Sonnenfeld which on a sidenote, is qualified as a one of the best Christmas movies ever! It would have been enjoyable to see Christina Ricci reprise her role as Wednesday but as an adult in the working world, cleverly dealing with Karens and Susans.",3 "I like the show, don't get where all the hate comes from. Can't wait for season 2😁",8 Writers clearly had no idea what an audience actually wants to see. Screwed the pooch in the end.,5 Large parts of the series were dull and boring and despite glimpses until the last 2 episodes it was largely mundane with the odd scenes of development and excitement. However the last 2 episodes were phenomenal and hopefully set the series on the right track moving in to season 2!,9 "Only Murders in the building is really good. It is funny,thrilling . Good story. Really loved Selena Gomez . Martin short and Steve Martin is really good throughout the series. Became a huge fan of both of them The entire cast is great. This has become my favorite show. The season 2 actually bought the vibe of Agatha Christie. This mysterious series is wonderful. Every episodes has a twist at the end .I love every minute of the show. This show is never tiring . I am waiting for another season.such fun! Really enjoyed the season 3. Fun,creative techniques are used. The director has also down an amazing job.",10 "By now, I've watched 2 Iron Man movies and neither of them dissapointed me. Both of them had their own qualities, their own originality and story, BUT, I must admit that the sequel kind of faded very quickly at the end, and by that, most of all, I am thinking about the russian anti-hero. I liked how the story about the antagonist managed to blend well with the story about Toni's father, I liked the design of the weapons the russian dude used, but the final fight where both Toni and Rhodes went in battle against Ivan Vanko was blank, empty and short. Nothing spectacular happened and the fight was 10 seconds long, altho we were waiting for a grand final ending where Ivan would finally show his upgraded super-weapon. Still, R.J. is one hell of an actor who can save anything, even a bad Iron Man ending, as his charm and charizma manage to deliver another great Iron Man movie.",7 "Not every movie has to have motive to be done, I can agree on that. But when you are a respected director, the least you can do is tell a good story and not one that in the end makes everyone go ""Ok, thats it?"" Sharon is portraited as dumb and futile, her death is not a joke so it can be passed as one. Again, everyone knows Tarantino loves feet, but why the hell are we obligated to watch a two-hour movie of frames of *a lot* o womans feet, thats plain disrespectful. The two reasons I dont give this movie a solid 1 star is because of the well-made job of the Director of Photography, who gave us nice shots of driving in the 70s and Leo and Brad acting, the only part where writing wasnt shallow and plain. Otherwise, this movie is NOT GOOD.",4 "This is the horror/sci-fi show everybody should watch, even if they detest either horror or sci-fi. If you don't like BOTH of those... I'm sorry, but you're boring. There is so much going on in this series that makes it feel real to the viewer despite the wacky themes, that it would be hard to not find the series endearing. Cons: A weak episode or two from season to season that detracts from the stellar story the Duffer brothers have brought to screen. (-2) A bit of a heavy-handed focus on trauma that when combined with the period-specific lore will leave the series feeling less impactful in the future. (-1) Pros:",9 Very over rated. I watched this movie because of its good reviews. Wasn't as good as it was rated.,5 "This modern British teen ""Bonny and Clyde"" esque comedy/drama has me feeling so many things. All in the best way possible. The show does so many things right! Firstly, the chemistry between James (Alex Lawther) and Alyssa is something so fresh. Their match was not destined to be. What this show does really well is how it kind of sticks close to reality. Our expectations are almost never what we want them to be. The End of the F***ing World also has some great humor. Mix it all together with great casting, screenplay, relatable characters, and action...that is what you get. Fresh, Daring, New, and Thoroughly enjoyable! I would recommend this to absolutely anyone.",8 "To achieve succes one should do hardwork. Face the challenges. Don't give up. Pitchers is not about Achivement. Its about friendship ,love ,Family , growth.Some scenes are just excellent ..how do they get idea like this A departmental store scene b/w Naveen and his lover. Jeethu's wife explanation to her father in law about startup. Saurabh's presentation and following scenes with him There r many like this ..if u watch u can get more. Watch it if u r Comprising in life. Atleast u will get a satisfied",9 "It's nothing ground breaking but its highly likeable and amusing stuff with a relatively intriguing murder mystery that has kept me coming back for more. What makes the show though is the chemistry and banter between real life long term buddies Steve Martin & Martin Short. They clearly had a great deal of fun making this which shows through in the final product. The only thing that I wasn't sure about is who exactly they are aiming this at ? It would be quite a family friendly show if it wasn't for the ton of swearing in it.",7 "In recent times we have seen quite a lot of action hero origin stories. With dramatic improvements in techniques relating to in production as well as post processing of movies, big production houses calling for a reboot of a franchise is not totally unreasonable. However what is unjustified is the lack of attention they have been giving to the sexes! All the franchises have one thing in common - their intent is to showcase macho men and how the world becomes a better place because of them (with the exception of X-Men)! It is 2017, and girl superheroes find a footing at last. When I watched Wonder Woman (2017), what stuck me the most was not how beautiful the main star was - it was how the action was fixated around her and how Gal Gadot seems to have been able to absorb all that attention so gracefully. Chris Pine stars as the ""more-than-average-looking"" Steve Trevor and has acted his part with extreme sincerity. David Thewlis and Danny Huston play pivotal roles in the movie as well. While the back story from Diana's childhood (involving ancient Greek gods) continue as the central theme of the movie, I felt that the storyline did not have enough meat or surprises to outpace other recent superhero movies! To me characters like Charlie or Sameer (the artists themselves did a good job) were unnecessary to the plot itself. These were possibly introduced only to help improve the humour quotient the movie lacked. I will discuss that in my more detailed review. Please read the full review (with spoilers) at http://blog.nrajesh.com/review- wonder-woman-2017/",4 "I'm really not sure who this is aimed at? Marvel fans won't like it? And old sitcom people won't like it? So who will? 🙈 Might get better but first 2 episodes... Pointless in my honest opinion...",1 "This was pretty darn dull. I never laughed or even really smiled throughout. Okay, I am not the target demographic for this film, left that behind a few decades ago, but even so, this film leaves much to be desired. I got the jokes and gags, they just didn't do anything for me. I can recall talking (to a point) like these kids do, and I did think it was cool at the time. Now I realize that it was boorish and idiotic. I do have to compliment a couple of the young actresses, Martha MacIsaac, who looked awfully nice, and Emma Stone, who pulled off that ""teenage girl who is sophisticated beyond her years"" role. The two cops were painful, and none of it clicked at all, and so was totally unfunny. There is really no reason to watch this movie.",5 "Did anyone read the book this was based on.....I Heard You Paint Houses I give that book and 8.5 and this pezzo di merda movie a 2. First of all Francis Sheehan was a big ox of a fellow and he was an Irishman. He married a very Irish woman and they had Irish looking kids. So where was casting? And speaking of casting anyone remember Godfather II where they had the problem of portraying Marlon Brando as a young man? Can you imagine if they had rigged a Madame Tussaud version of old Marlon Brando with putty and other ""Six Feet Under""-type beauty aids to play young Vito Corleone? The same goes for Pacino as Hoffa. Jimmy Hoffa was a thick headed ""dutchmen"" as the guineas said where I grew up in northern NJ....he was in no way Italian. But let's forget all that (as one should do with this whole cazzata movie.) I want to talk about the music. Frank Sheehan, Jimmy, and Russell were grown up already for WWII just like my dad and all my Italian uncles. At parties in the 50's, 60's and 70's they listened to Perry Como, Jerry Vale, Jimmy Roselli , Sinatra et. al...they did not listen to the gritty Black R&B music in many parts of this soundtrack. Even though the music was of that time it was not of that culture.",2 "After Barfi, another Masterpiece comes from Anurag Basu !! In this ""Dark Comedy of Errors"", 4 different stories intertwine in an intricate manner to create utterly hilarious & violent situations. The star of this film is Anurag himself, writing such a complicated screenplay, then directing with such mastery and also picturising it with such beauty. Then comes Pankaj Tripathi, Rajkumar Rao in ridiculously quirky avatars and Abhishek Bachhan with a heartwrenching performance. The music also stands out. Although the film sometimes overindulges and the narrator thing didnt really add anything to the film. If you are depressed due to Covid or from watching Laxmi, Do give this one a Try, you will have a fabulous time.",9 "Guru starts by dazzling with its starcast, its brilliant director-music director combo and amazing cinematography not necessarily in that order. But retrospect doesn't treat the movie that kindly. Personally,the high point of the movie was Menon's handling of the camera. Every frame of the movie is desktop-wallpaper friendly. And though that might not be good for every kind of movie, Guru with its semi-period film setting and scope of locations deserved Menon's touch. Maniratnam as usual handles his subject and his actors with consummate ease though the pace of scenes where he builds his characters too fast or truncated. A.R. Rahman is brilliant by the non-intrusiveness of his music. The Guru chant that follows Gurukant Desai around might be very Bollywoodish but hey! this IS Bollywood. Abhishek and Mithun Chakraborty deliver the best performances in the movie. If Mithun had been given any more screen space than he was, he could've easily overshadowed Abhishek. Manikdas Gupta has... well...more character than Gurukant Desai. Aishwarya as usual is a huge letdown and a liability throughout the movie but her saving grace is her reasonable performance during the Trial scene. She manages to put herself in the center of every frame and refuses to look old at 50. When will she realise that acting doesn't mean that every frame needs to look like an Aishwarya Poster or desktop wallpaper? Madhavan and Balan are obviously wasted as characters with Madhavan delivering a sterling performance but summarily dismissed during the movie. As for the message, the less said the better. There are a few jarring moments when Maniratnam goes over the top trying to project Guru who is obviously a marketplace villain as a person who deserves what he wants. Whoever from India will believe that a Taxi-Driver is so knowledgeable about personal finance that he invests enough to marry off three daughters with ""Shakti"" shares? Indians who invest in shares (especially during the time the trial is set in) can hardly be the ""Aam Aadmi"" that Guru claims to love and serve. And on the contrary, IAS/IPS officers who Guru accuses as the self-serving elite are usually the ones who're from middle-class ""Aam Aadmi"" families. On the whole an enjoyable movie especially the spine-tingling scenes where Guru triumphs. The movie is all the more enjoyable if you're familiar with the real life story( Irrespective of his claims Guru is definitely based on the tycoon). You go home thinking you'll need to think about the movie but you don't. The movie doesn't deserve THAT much.",7 "Fool me once Sony shame on you. Fool me twice shame on you AGAIN! No no I actually wasn't excited for this movie at all. I thought Venom himself looked good in the trailers, but never did I think ""oh wow I think this movie will be good!"" I went into it thinking without Marvel, Sony can't make a Spider-Man movie to save their life. And yup, I was proven right. Here's the thing, I'm reviewing this movie in two different ways. The first as a movie, and then second, a comedy. I kid you not I had a really fun time watching Venom. It's such a fascinating movie to talk about. It's so bad I was practically crying from laughing so much. I probably ruined it for a lot of people in the theater but I couldn't help it. As a movie it does not work at all, it feels so dated. If you remember watching movies like Ben Affleck in Daredevil or Ang Lee's Hulk, it feels exactly like that. Cheesy editing complete with comic panel shots, nonsensical plot and pretty much no character development whatsoever. Tom Hardy is AWFUL as Eddie Brock. I don't know if he actually thinks that's how Americans act but he's just a bumbling buffoon who hunches over almost all the time. None of the supporting cast is given anything to do either. The bad guy is an Elon Musk looking stock character evil business man 101 who gets another Symbiote to just have a big Symbiote fight with Venom at the end. (This fight looks worse than Bay's Transformers movies I couldn't tell what was even happening I'm not kidding). Michelle Williams is here I think for the money? She had no chemistry with Tom Hardy either I did not believe they were engaged. Venom as a character is great but has practically one of the worst arcs I've ever seen in a superhero film. If you're hoping to get a really dark, gritty, edgy monster movie with Venom you can just throw all that out the window because that's what Sony basically did. However, if you want to see a really bad comedy that has some shining scenes with Eddie and Venom then I say you should absolutely watch Venom. Whenever they're on screen together I actually enjoyed it, they gave his character funny dialogue that kept me engaged and made me wish this Venom would interact with Tom Holland's Spidey soon. It seriously would've benefited the movie if they just had Tom Holland show up and make it a buddy road trip type film where they have to work together to achieve a goal. Aside from Eddie and Venom's relationship I couldn't salvage anything good. ""Venom"" is incoherent, poorly written, stupidly acted, it's a movie that falls flat on its face and you'll either think it's terrible or just comedy galore. As a movie: 3/10. As a comedy: 10/10 BABY!!🎊🎉 Venom said it best, ""Like a turd, in the wind!""",5 "The first time I watched Ready Player One I was amazed by the effects and how pretty it looked. But, as I watched it once more and thought it about it more I realized this is a movie that's just full of fan service and references. By all means, Ready Player One is not a bad movie. I also have not read the book so I can't judge it by that either. But, I felt myself falling asleep during the second time I tried watching it. By the end of the second act the acting, storyline, and even the CGI could not keep me interested anymore. It was like watching another Spy Kids movie but with a higher budget and better acting, for the most part.",6 "If you want to see a lot of fireworks when car is hiting tables and chairs than this movie is for you! :) ahh and those dying dummys..... after watching trailer i was like - omg this movie will be awsome action but... for eyes its kind of beautiful movie, acting is not bad. Dialogs and storyline is 100% bad. Disappointment.....",5 "I don't like this movie,Very long boring movie, Acting of the DiCaprio's great but I don't like the story,",5 "This show is a great example of wasted potential. Where do I even start? A terribly obnoxious villain, boring drags that go on for half of roughly each episode, a main character with an obnoxious moral high ground: the list goes on and on. I don't live in the USA so I guess I'm not the target audience for the fashionable Western ""woke"" culture. When I sit down to watch a Marvel Cinematic Universe show, I don't expect to listen to political drivels that goes on for half the show.",2 "Season 1 was gritty.dark. gripping and genuinely had you interested for more. Season 2 onwards is prrrrreeettttyyy bad. Got way too hard to follow and the whole show felt like a different show entirely after season 1. It got far too political and conveluded. Suddenly the fact people could turn into titans was easily washed over. The whole thing needed revised in my opinion, story line filled with terrible hard to follow time skips. Total disaster and hard to watch. With that being said DO make sure you watch season 1. Because that was awesome. Disregard the rest of the show beyond this point.",4 "Seriously how dare you! You ruined something great. You had great actors and characters, filming and a good story already written for you. First season was good but for some reason you were so arrogant you thought your ideas were better so you destroyed something people love. Worse you replaced it with Cliche and nonsensical, lazy drivel. Acting, cinematography, props, set all great and Henry cavil embodies Geralt in a way only a true fan can fully appreciate. The show is just spoiled by poor writing choices. I really hope the back lash from the terrible 3rd season will cause netfilx to make some changes in upcoming seasons but I'm not optimistic.",7 "The acting was superlative but I believe the story line very obnoxious in the way violence was portrayed and to treat the Aaron Eckhardt Character the way that happened was against all the natural instincts of the film and story, The plot line got confusing in many ways, but I suppose it ended up the only way it could, I was pleased with all the characters, especially Gary Oldman and of course Heath Ledger, how he performed that role will always amaze me. The many harrowing experiences need parents to monitor what their children watch and counsel them on such savagery. My 3 was not for the acting which would have earned a 10 but the violence that was allowed to pursue 80 Percent of the movie cause a right down to 3",3 "Overall, I really enjoyed this show. Just dont expect all of your favorite book moments and character motivations to come into play.",5 "I love the show, the somewhat ""random"" filming, the jokes and the personalities. What I don't like so much about it, is all the touchy-feely moments at the end of the show. Where everyone becomes friends again, where everyone love each other and just having great family moments. I understand that this is a show about different types of families, but I think they should turn it down a bit. They try to kind of ""cover it up"" with a joke at the end, but I think it's too much of a ""Full House""- feeling to it. But as I said, this is the only thing I can complain on. Otherwise I love the show, and this is about the only show that actually makes me laugh out loud when I'm watching it by myself. Keep it up!",8 "My God, it's so slow and boring. It starts slow. Plus, all the main characters, you'll have no idea who's who.",4 "So boring, and sad, and hopelessly dull. Where was wolverine? Long time ago, my biggest gripe with Jackmans wolverine was that he had to wear that black leather xmen outfit, yellow spandex would have been better, but now, this is beyond tight leather and bad puns. I always enjoyed a good Logan story, mostly because of all the mystery still surrounding him, but what this did was just sidestep all that interesting lore and go with the virus make regenerating bad, now sad, gonna die bla bla bla save the little girl! Nah, just nah!",3 "Okay. Not great. Cartoon version had more emotions. The cast was fantastic except for Nala. Beyonce's Nala didn't do it for me. Not good voice acting. Overall should have waited for it to go to streaming.",3 "Martin Short and Nathan Lane are masters of their craft! As are the guest stars like Sting< Jane Lynch, Tina Fey, Shirley MacLaine. Steve Martin's a bit too mellow for me in this. His zany physical comedy is so great, I wish there was more of it. But Selena is just a terrible actress. Her words barely come out of her mouth and are so monotone. Every scene she is in, I find her annoying and it's distracting. With the right casting of the female lead, this show would have been a 9.",7 "Great movie. Apple gets scot-free advertising and reviews, despite an arrogant attitude towards its customers and our native America. Paying no taxes, providing little return back to its community. At the same time, Russia and its people get demonized scot-free in our Hollywood studios. I wonder why? Anyway, this obsession means that Russians live rent free in our minds, 24/7. And we gladly pay our taxes to allow our government to boost the arms industry. Now, end of rant. Was it a good movie. Well, decent action, decent story. Jennifer's facial expressions stuck in a loop.",6 "Love a good sci-fi show, but have not seen a show so poorly written and with such weak plot lines at this show. Had hi hopes because I need a show to watch and I saw the original when I was a kid, but this hurts. actually made it to the 7th episode and it actually hurts. Sped it up so many times that I gave up. Poor plot, poor wiring, really do not like when writers are so board with their own work, that they cannot even figure out a half decent way forward. Then to treat everyone like they have no brain....wow!",1 "The realistic approach to the beloved classic was a massive mistake. As a viewer, it did not feel like I was watching Lion King. Instead, it felt as if I was watching a documentary on Animal Planet. Everything felt bland and dry, and the characters expressed no form of emotion, so you had to go by the tone of the voices alone. The movie was basically a line-by-line, scene-by-scene copy of the original, made into live action. The only good thing about this film was the performances, which were...okay and the CGI. The Other than that, it was a disappointment and an insult to the classic that made Disney iconic in the first place. Not only that, Disney has a lot of potential but lacks new ideas and this film proves it.",4 "'CAPTAIN America : CIVIL WAR' REVIEW :- We all loved Marvel's previous Superhero flicks, this is another addition to that list. Makers tried to add more fun this time and they have succeeded in it. Obviously if they are making sequel that means audience deserve more fun than the previous one, this must be the thinking of Makers when they decided to make this movie. Marvel has a separate movie for each superhero then they made Avengers to bring all superheroes together and Civil War follows same idea. Too many superheroes, 2 teams and their face off. Wow sounds great no? Movie starts with kick ass action sequence. Keeps you hooked for first 30 minutes then some necessary scenes to set a plot which gives you loo break. Then after Interval movie is bit of slow but then last 40 minutes are brilliant. Spidey's entry and his presence made it more entertaining. End is quite Emotional (not actually) and bit disappointing or exciting, depends on your choice how you take it. Film wins your heart by its special effects and those scenes are eye pleasing in 3D. Screenplay could have been better but it is not bad either, usually this kind of films are not made to entertain you for complete 150 minutes and you know it. Runtime looks 10 stretched. Story is good and bit a confusing but it ends on satisfying note. Acting is perfectly showcased by all leading stars. Sound work is good too, especially in action sequences. Cinematography is something to clap for. As a whole Film entertains you, doesn't make you feel bore and won't let you think that you wasted money on it. Go for it, enjoy this another Money making entertainer by Marvels. 7/10 stars by me.",7 "I never walk out of any film it is a rule, but this film tested my staying power when I turned round at the end there was myself and one other patron remaining out of 20. On talking to the Cinema staff it seemed 4 people lasted ten minutes and were allowed into another movie the rest drifted away one by one and this I was told had been going on all week. And no wonder what a mess of a picture it seems to be a comedy but the subject matter is heavy stuff with its post-world war I setting full of the broken bodies of veterans and so it goes on with rants on fascism and the dangers to freedom in America, clearly subject matter ripe for farse comedy and satire. This movie is just not funny or interesting at any point while the acting seems flippant throughout and how the characters talk and talk and talk with every scene drawn out with long-winded meaningless trivia. The film is relentlessly dull, truly boring, and unappealing, dragging its very limited plot way beyond its limit.",3 "A few of the actors could have been good, if they had a better script and direction. Chadwick Boseman, Danai Gurira and Lupita Nyong'o where especially bland. Found myself hoping they would be killed off by the end. Plot was the same as every other heroes quest plot. Except with less (zero) hero development. I've seen Roger Ramjet and Banana Man episodes with more hero development than the entire movie. Not even close to Marvel's lowest standards. Same for the villain. He was more vanilla than villain. Although he just barely had more character than the Hero. Fight scenes where dull, poorly motivated, poorly filmed and had little reason or logic. for the 40% where I could see what was going on I was mostly wondering why it was going on and why they weren't trying harder. I've seen better action filmed with a vibrating phone and posted to youtube with the wrong aspect ratio. CGI was horrible and glaringly obvious so much so they actually had special sound effects to warn you that the cgi was happening. Sound effects also had bad computer generated sound. Like 80's video games had a love child with 80's synth. The Black Panther suit was especially bad, Looked some kind of bulletproof hologram. Which could have been cool if thats what they where going for. Picture quality was really bad. I watched on a V-Max screen. It was very blurry. Not sure if this was just the cinema or if its the source material. Seemed to be worse in some places than others so likely the cinematography. Fight scenes where shaky and poorly framed, Futuristic city was out of scene, blurry and not very futuristic or believable. Looked like someone over polished a generic USA city and badly photo-shopped into India, not Africa. Except they still had bad (American) graffiti tags in the background. Was all shiny metal from a distance then grafiti concrete when up close... Overall was very confusing, not sure if futuristic slum was the angle or if was simply edited by a blind person who was so drunk they forgot half the cgi backgrounds. From a sci-fi point of view the futuristic tech was also really bland, clunky and left me wondering why. Politically The theme of hating everyone thats not descendant from Africa was simmering away the whole time. Found that pretty off-putting. Its not 1970 anymore. Re-visiting the politics of the Black Panther political party was pretty crass. Overall it left me with the impression that the marvel no longer wants to produce the content that made them famous but still want to cash in with out putting the effort in. Don't pay to see this. Might be worth watching on free to air tv if you're really bored and only get one station.",3 "Completely missed this one when it was release into theatres so it will be a brief review. Overall thought it was an entertaining watch with good directing, story and acting, which is pretty much what you want from a film like this. Im personally not a huge Jennifer Lawrence fan but I must say this is some of her best work to date and a different type of role for her. She carried the film really well and made her character really interesting to follow and route for in a strange way. Joel Edgerton is always good value recently and he again doesn't disappoint, plays the role really well. Even though I must say he has not got so much to do as Lawrence's character or any of the emotional trauma that she goes through, but still good. Story was really interesting from start to finish, won't say anything about the twist because I'll keep this non-spoiler but it is very satisfying for the story and the characters. It will definitely make you think of all the little details that you didn't pick up on the first time round. Overall it 75% out 100 or 7.5 out 10 its almost very good, Im not to disappointed that I missed seeing it at the cinema cause it wouldn't really add anything to the film. But none the less a really gripping, brutal and powerful film that doesn't let up and keeps you guessing throughout, definitely recommend it. Decent thriller.",7 "I love war movies, the classics Saving Private Ryan and We Were Soldiers and newer films like Hacksaw Ridge. With Sam Mendes(Skyfall) directing, an interesting shooting style and a compelling trailer I was hyped up but left the cinema a little unsatisfied. The story centres around two young soldiers who are given the task of delivering a message to a battalion ordering them to call off an attack, as to avoid a trap by enemy troops and a subsequent massacre. The way this Is filmed is through one continuous camera shot, of course there are tricks to hide takes but it is an impressive feat. Not only for the actors to give a physical performance climbing through bunkers and avoiding enemy fire but to remember their lines and for the crew to keep this up so smoothly, I give this movie massive credit for this. The first act of this film is by far the high point for me, we go through the trenches, into a bunker to collect orders then across to the end of the line and through no mans land eventually into a German bunker. It took my breath away how smoothly the camera navigated through this uneven terrain, all the while keeping the shot steady and framed. The tension was there as you can imagine crossing into enemy territory and I was enjoying the film. However, problems arises when you don't cut from the main characters. When they have to walk to a barn for example we get the entire shot of them walking to the barn. I understand your probably thinking this is supposed to emulate their lives and what their experiencing, I understand but as a film with not much dialogue or charisma from the leads, not any Tarantino style conversations or music playing it drags the movie out. Not only does the film have a lot of filler, the main characters don't have the acting or charm to carry the weight of this film. In a movie like The Revenant, it worked because it was filmed stylishly and Leo is a phenomenal actor. Maybe it was just me but I just wasn't rooting for the heroes of this film, I don't think they go through enough or have any backstory explored to give them depth and they don't g through any real character arcs. While I'm not complaining about the lack of action, it is missing here for a war movie. With this camera style there was the option to get something really special with some sequences but it never comes. It's not to say the film is lacking any tension or suspense. It comes every now and then, but it's was not enough to keep me invested. I think if you have seen your fair share of the genre this doesn't bring anything new, it's nothing you won't have seen before. To summarise I don't think 1917 is a bad movie, it's really not. Technically it's superb and the set up could of made this special. However I think the style chosen for this was a double edged sword, it gives great tension at times but drags the film down majorly at others. Combine this with an underwhelming performance from the lead actors just takes the film out of becoming a classic and drops it into the slightly above average category.",6 Besides the songs which will be best soundtrack.. but the rest is sucks. Bored to dead. Wasted my 2 hours... i still dont get it about the rating on IMDB. Please wake up everyone and give a real score for this horrible movie.,2 "Action plot and everything here is unnatural. Why there should be a story if this man can do anything ? Somebody stabbed this man 2 times even after he killed 50+ people alone without any harm. If he's such supernatural man why before happening all things he would have killed all drug people in the police station? Plot has so many holes. So unrealistic as most of the tamil action movies. I don't know why these people commented below has rated 9+ . This is not godfather/ city of god. Be honest. For people who have reviewed 9+ I have to say Just watch some good realistic movies of hollywood/ bollywood/ arab / mexican, etc then review here. You wont put 5+ at least then, and don't put biased reviews .",5 "i was intrigued to see how a little-seen 2008 film had somehow won the Oscar for best picture of 2009 and thus went to see The Hurt Locker. sadly, all i got for the two hours invested was the grim confirmation that this film had won awards purely for off-the-screen reasons. the direction and visual style of this film is some of the weakest you will ever see. when it's not busy being yet another Bourne Identity homage with dire, annoying ""shaky cam"" visuals, it shows off all the hallmarks of a second rate daytime soap opera in terms of lensing. the ""plot"" is threadbare, the characterizations are about as well developed as rejected Beetle Bailey comic strip ideas and the dialogue - on the instances where the film gives up on being ""minimalist"" and for no apparent reason turns one or two soldiers into right chatterboxes - is some of the worst ever recorded. in fairness, the actors do the best they can in the circumstances, just not enough to obscure how bad the project is. the whole film has the feel of it being intended as some kind of ""mockumentary"" that they clocked was bereft of humour and thus re-edited as best they could so as to pass it off as a serious drama. if you spend two hours on this film they are two hours you will never get back, and two hours wasted that you will regret for the rest of your life.",2 "Based on Vikram Chandra's novel called 'Sacred Games' and directed by award winning Bollywood directors, with both of it's main protagonists being the mainstream Bollywood actors, it is the first Netflix original series in India. It's plot is a complex web of flash back and mysteries. Both of it's seasons are starkly different from each other. In the first season, a notorious gangster who has been missing for 16 years, informs a troubled police officer about his whereabouts, only to leave him with an alarming clue and die, the clue being the need to save the city within 25 days! What follows is a mayhem of police investigations and emergence of various connected people and incidents and the surfacing of concerned police officer's personal demons both in his personal and professional life. The series ends with the hanging question - whether or not the city annihilation took place? The second season starts with the disturbed police officer's continued search for the tool and venue of the aforesaid annihilation. It also continues with the parallel autobiography of the gangster in the past mode, accompanied with his narrations in both past and present modes, covering his associations with - drug lord of Mombasa in Kenya, RAW agent, ISI and finally the queer and mysterious Guruji. The series' storyline is quite new and the depiction of it's series of sequences is quite interesting. It's an engaging watch with some brilliant acting by lead artists, like - Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Saif Ali Khan, Radhika Apte, Pankaj Tripathi, Amrita Subhash etc.",8 "Really not much to say about it. I keep trying this series again and again considering it's rating here but my god it's just boring, and all the characters are either annoying, boring or cliche. There isn't even humour to save it. I actually watched the first seasons but each time a new one comes out I've forgotten the first because it was so forgettable. Eventually just couldn't keep watching. And yes I'm including first seasons too. Don't care for any of the characters and don't believe any of the relationships between the characters. I think poor writing is the culprit in this case.........",6 "For a show titled ""Loki,"" it somehow has the most poorly written version of Loki through out MCU. Who will believe this boring and dull character is the same charismatic villain in the Avengers. The entire show is about humiliating Loki. I was very excited that they would bring in Lady Loki into this show but Sylvie was such a poorly written character with no charisma. Putting the character issues aside, it's a mediocre at best. Nothing really happened each episode. They keep on introducing you to new settings but none of them were truly explained nor explored. Overall, it's a poorly written extra long teaser for MCU phase 4 with lazily executed fighting scenes.",1 Every episode has one or all members of the Robinson Family in some danger that requires over the top rescuing. It gets boring quickly.,7 "Robert Zemeckis has done a credible job with this morality play. Tom Hanks portrays a dim-witted, but practical, man who has good luck on his side. It is a story of a seemingly simple man, who has a great deal of practical sense and his seemingly complicated life. The film is a character study not only of Hank's character, but, a character study of the people in his orbit. The big influences in Forrest Gump's life are is his mother and his best a friend, a girl who suffered at the hands of an abusive father who lived on the edge and eventually would have fallen off it had it not been for Forrest's gentle spirit and his Vietnam War buddy, Bubba, also a slow-witted, but kindly man who befriends Forrest and the two forge a solid friendship in a short period of time. whereby its influences affect Forrest's life long after Bubba's untimely death in Vietnam. Forrest deals with love, romantic, maternal and platonic, hate, war…the effects such as Forrest meeting President Kennedy are pretty neat. In dealing with life, Forrest deals with the complications of life in the most practical matter and it serves him and those around him well. The film's message is rather simple, no matter what life brings to your doorstep, there are only solutions, no problems. I personally liked the film, but, I do think the film is very over-rated because those who are of politically correct mindset make a large point of pointing out the morality play's message of hope. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being a miracle, I give the film a solid 5.",5 Was not a fan at all tried to watch it but just was not my cup of tea at all. If your a follower then you might like it. I'm not watching shows for nostalgia about my childhood .,1 "Well shot well written, good acting but very unlikeable character. Arrogant drug riddled joyless character would be fine if it was a true story but it isnt. Better to watch pawn sacrifice about the great fischer and his paranoia. Overall this is another feminist role model that sends all the wrong messages.",6 "This show actually outdoes itself...i can't believe so many people hold it so high...i can't believe it's rated this high...and at the same time...i don't completely totally hate it...for some reason... before i say too much...i would like to take this chance to beg selena gomez NEVER to take another acting role again her entire life...selena cannot act...she couldn't act if it was able to bring Justin Bieber back...she is terrible...she almost singlehandedly pulls this show under... the comedy is horrendous...the acting is bad the story is bland...there's basically nothing here...Martin's character would have been the saving grace...but it's way over the top...it ends up being ridiculous and cheap... this show commits one of writing's worst possible mistakes...it overexplains...it tells does very little showing...it even explains the comedy instead of being funny...wooow...even slapstick comedy is explained...they probably have a grade school student a writing gig for this one... i want to say it can make for mindless watching...but it is too empty to even be enjoyed accidentally...Skip it...",2 "I know about jets, being from a family with pilots. I did not know that this film has maybe 5 pages of script. It is boring. TC is still TC. Nothing is fresh and new. It is all about money. I am glad people got work making this film. I appreciate the people who actually flew those F-18s. That is all.",4 Parker Posey is the most annoying character ever.Love the robot anyways.,7 "Outstanding story,cast, story, everything.... Great acting by Farhan Akhtar.",8 "I try to understand why this film is so trumpeted yet a lot of the points raised as to why this film is sublime are simply untrue: They say it's funny- well no it isn't - there are very few jokes or particularly humorous moments in the film and certainly if you are a fan of Murray don't expect the usual ream of wisecracks. It has no plot and very little happens, Tokyo as a backdrop never really integrates with the characters and they seem condescending to the Japanese and their ""Engrish"" (how well can these Americans speak Japanese?). The supporting characters are caricatures with little depth (Johansson's screen husband is often described in reviews as flippant or self obsessed but there's little actual screen evidence for this or the motivation of any characters but the two leads). The central performances are fantastic but the story is so slow burning with so little happening that I failed to care at all. The film seemed vague, insubstantial and to be honest, dull.",5 Al Pacino is 1 of the greatest actors that through the live and he can never do anything wrong,9 "A mild and kiddish detective story, not that funny to be called a comedy, and not interesting enough to be considered a mystery, it's mostly a foolish tale that makes you laugh at yourself for watching.",4 "Ok, Wonder Woman its funny, good entertainment and...Gal Gadot. Not much more besides the eye candy landscapes and well done CGI's. It's heartless and empty of carachters depth, the editing its poor and the screen writting was all about jumping from one big scene to another. This is not enough to be considered one of the best super hero movies ever, not even a 2017's greatest, no way. Al and all, dont believe the hype, its all about DC's lobbying",4 "The reason why Don Cheadle is the new James Rhodes in this movie I don't know it, but he's performed just great and has contributed, very much, to the movie's success. It seems to me Robert Downey Jr had less action and time on scene, but Don Cheadle has filled that hole. About the villein, it has not been negative to opt for Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko; however, he pretty much did more with his mind than his body; the drons he built did more that him on his suit. So far so good. It's been a good to watch-movie.",7 "One of the best web series have seen in recent times. Set in the era of early eighties of Lucknow, when the world was not digitized, it explores the romance, university politics, the battles of science and philosophy through different characters portrayed by some brilliant and subtle performances. If you like poetry, romance and perfectly fine not to run faster than Bolt, you should not miss this.",9 "The comedy in this show is simply lackluster without much care to tailor make jokes that suit the context and elicit laughter at the right times, while the appropriate receivers of the joke don't show much of a reaction with no follow-up at times, as if the jokes are made in succession at a stand-up comedy show. Many of the jokes are amateurishly written, so although unique, they don't make much sense most of the time, which just makes it cliché and forced. The actors themselves don't help much either with their monotonous delivery which lacks energy, rendering many of the jokes lost on the audience, though the distinction between roles made by the same actor is quite impressive and humorous at times. Nonetheless, the plot does tie in with the humour pretty decently in the middle and made it more engaging past the pilot episode, and for a YouTuber production the quality is impressive, with clever use of jump cuts, rotoscoping, panning to make the cast seem more diverse. I can tell that it isn't easy to act in so many roles for the same film. However, as with other shows made by well liked YouTubers, this one is a tad overrated by his fanbase with inflated ratings that don't accurately reflect the quality of the show.",3 "I remember when Blazing Saddles came out, one critic condensing his review to saying it was some well-liked stars using vulgar language. Wow, the f-word was only mouthed, just once. I didn't like that they joked about rape, which seemed to be a thing in '70s comedy. Here we are in 2022 (the series began last year). I had only seen the first 2 episodes when it began, and got sidetracked. This weekend, I decided to catch-up, after learning the 2nd season had begun. But seeing stars I once thought highly of, along with unknown middleaged & senior actors reduced to speaking like poorly educated street trash (what Trump era gave us), I just couldn't stomach it. Glad I didn't buy the DVD or BluRay set! Years ago, I learned and still believe that people who resort to using gutter language, are too poorly educated to think of any other words to express their feelings. More precise would be they are too morally poor. And as demonstrated by the applause when late night host use the f-word, although censored on TV, they use that language to appeal to the segment of society that thinks it cool for their fav celebs to talk dirty.",5 "I didn't expect much from this movie and was pleasantly surprised. The storyline is refreshing and even though it relies on the same scares, same ""good spirit/evil spirit""-issues and dysfunctional family plot as many other horrors in the past, it doesn't get too cliché, which I like. Although the movie has many good parts and a somewhat eerie vibe from the get go (the first scene sets the stage pretty well), my biggest problem with it is that it's just not particularly scary. The ""monsters"" are mildly disgusting at best and it misses out on a lot of potentially scary scenes. I am by no means a hardcore horror fan, and I still only found it to be kind of a sad/tragic family story with a sprinkle of demons.",6 """Parasite"" is a cinematic masterpiece that seamlessly blends genres to deliver a thought-provoking and socially relevant narrative. Bong Joon-ho's direction is impeccable, crafting a visually stunning and emotionally charged film. The performances, particularly by the ensemble cast, are exceptional, capturing the nuances of class struggle with depth and authenticity. The film's dark humor adds a layer of complexity, making it both entertaining and intellectually stimulating. The meticulously designed sets and cinematography enhance the storytelling, creating a palpable atmosphere. ""Parasite"" challenges societal norms and explores the consequences of economic disparity in a compelling and unpredictable manner. It's a riveting exploration of the human condition that lingers in the mind, solidifying its place as a modern cinematic classic.",4 The only purpose of this movie is to ride with the success of Harry Potter films and make easy money. This film substitutes a story with special effects. It is a travesty of the Harry Potter saga.,1 "This 13 part drama is incredibly well acted and directed. The art form used is superb, the backing tracks and music fit amazingly and the portrayal of events is very real in terms of how events are portrayed by people in this age range. It is probably one of the best dramas ever made. However, it is potentially a very dangerous thing to be watching; if you are thinking about or have been witness to or affected by suicide or rape, or generally any of the topics (expertly portrayed) in this series. It is distressing to watch. It is 'intentionally' distressing to watch. But if you know about suicide, if you know the pain and grief - this show will bring it all back, like the worst ever PTSD you've ever had in full HD over the course of 13 hours. If you have, or are contemplating suicide. Do not watch this! SEEK HELP, immediately! Please, this will only make you feel worse, there is no happy ending in this drama. It will affect you to the bitter end, and leave you in a deeper state of grief than you already are in.",8 "$100,000,000 budget and yet not enough money for a decent script. Outside of the action scenes and the amazing (yes, I give credit where credit is due) special effects, the movie was quite boring and predictable. The acting wasn't bad, but didn't blow me away. The details seemed authentic...i.e. inside and outside the ships, the suits, the zero gravity effects of space (though, admittedly I'm no expert). But overall, it was like watching a guitar virtuoso who can't play a song, but can play notes really really fast. All technique and no soul. I can understand how this movie was nominated for awards (SFX, art direction, sound) but I don't see how it could be nominated for best picture. Were the movies that came out last year really that bad? On a list of space movies, this one would be at the bottom for me.",5 "I watched this movie at a midnight showing, and after a long and hard day's work that started at 6 a.m., I can honestly say that I was awake and alert throughout the entire movie. Spiderman 2 easily surpassed everything that was done in the original (hopefully the box-office record too). The graphics were improved, there was much more comedy, and it even was quite touching at certain points. The villain, Dr. Octopus, played amazingly by vet Alfred Molina, is even better than Willem Defoe's Green Goblin (and doesn't look half as ridiculus). The ending leaves a huge amount of open space for a sequel I would gladly go see. All in all, see this movie at least once. I know I'll go back several times.",9 "Never thought i would like a show like this because i'm not into superheroes, but it's great. the first season starts off a bit slow but really starts picking up after a few episodes. the second season is full of action and not boring at all in my opinion. however, i prefer the first season because i like the concept more.",8 "My kids and I are huge fans of qt so this was the perfect film..or so we thought. The z generation don't understand the nuanced references, my age group do, but it's such a boring film. I get that qt was wanting to see how Hollywood, and the carefree culture at the time, would jave been affected if the Manson murders didn't happen. But this film was a lot of over indulgence, archaic references nobody cared about and an overkill scene that didn't make up for the excruciating boredom of nearly THREE hours! I have never seen people walk out of a qt film before, and they were leaving in droves after two hours of nothing. At one point my partner and I were having a thumb war for something to do and noughts and crosses on our phones. Cue the 10/10 emporers new clothes reviews screaming ""make up your own mind!!"" And ""Don't listen to the critics!!!"". Terrible and I want my money and time back.",3 Felt like half if it is about the dude's mothers alzheimers. That went on for like 30min. Actual war bits are maybe 5min,2 "Was hoping for so much more. Found it to be uninspired and very predictable. I understand including homages to an original film, but they were overused to a a point of being tiresome. The ""mission"" and it's ""threats"" required such a suspension of reality as to be ridiculous.",4 Anurag tried his best to pull out a different storyline . In patches film is ok but lacks engaged screenwriting. You can give it a try and you may or may not like it depends .,5 I really like this 80's Spielberg inspired sci-fi-saga. Finn Wolfhard should have some better direction though. He tries too hard to deliver his lines sometimes. When he doesn't he is excellent though. The rest of the cast is also very good. Especially Millie Bobby Brown. And Noah Schnapp in the second season.,9 Oh God. It's stunning. I'm impressed. Good job HBO. Getting from Russia.,9 Soundtracks are so baaaaad! The book has a sad theme and I really don't know why the director was trying to make it happy! The writer just copied conversions from book! Everyone can do that my friend!,4 "Movie - weak, plot - thin, characters - not believable, action - boring, actors' work - not interesting, director's work - not noticeable whatsoever. Besides propaganda, what is the point of this movie? Why would this movie win an Oscar? I'd like to see who voted for this so I could avoid movies voted for by the same people in the future. What is the message of the movie and how it tries to communicate that message? Friendship? There is none. Helping each other when hurt? It's war, that is what every war is about. Taking unnecessary risks and surviving 837 (or whatever the number was) times? If that is the case, does this guy know something we don't? Maybe (though I seriously doubt it, I studied that exact subject extensively while in military) -- but even if that is the case, the movie fails to articulate it. Unfortunately, overall -- waste of time.",2 "Jennifer, you are better than this. You can do better than this. You could start with picking a different male actor than this man-child who thrives on language and references made to appeal to giggling adolescents.",2 "Average second season. Burn butcher, burn was the absolute highlight of the season. 2 years waiting and story barely gets pushed forward. Not the biggest fan of the wokeness either.",6 "Not sure if this was a drama with comic undertones or a comedy with dramatic undertones. Maybe it is just a dark comedy. Some parts were so over the top it reminded me of the gnostic-influenced movies from the 90's where you didn't know if it was real or a dream. For example the way the fan shifts identities and disguises so quickly and seamlessly, he seems like he is more a highly trained intelligence agent rather than a somewhat disturbed individual. In any case, Shahruhk Khan does a masterful job of portraying two distinctly different characters. It is easy to forget that they are both the same actor!",8 "Special Chabbis is truly Special ..Special in terms of Acting, Screenplay, Cinematography and above all is the flawless Direction..Neeraj Pandey has picked it up from where he left in 'A Wednesday'. He has successfully quenched the expectation and hype which was created for this movie.The film is based on late 1980s which works as another high point for the movie. AK is awesome and his controlled yet subtle emotion looks like he has reincarnated himself as AJJU ..Not that this is his career best performance but a performance we have been longing for Specially from him. Manoj Bajpayee and Anupam Kher are Special too as i cant think of anyone who could do a better justice to the characters they played. Jimmy Shergil and Divya Dutta are underutilized. The villain of the film is the Romance angle which looks immensely forceful and acts as a major Speed Breaker to this pacey thriller (1st Half). Overall this is brave attempt by our Director which seems to have worked. Kudos to Neeraj Pandey for raising the standards of film making in Bollywood.",9 "One of the best screenplay in recent days. Astonishingly handled the curiosity. Amazing script. Overall must watch movie for Crim thriller lovers. It's been equal to Hollywood style psycho thriller. You just become so curious what is the actual end of the movie. Movie has all the elements. Emotional contents are depicted very high level. All actors are at there best in Performance. Keeping the suspense too long is not an easy task. Well managed. Music is good. Good cinematography, very good dailogs. Overall must watch movie.",9 "Apparently this is entertainment, when in reality it is a piece of 1962 propaganda wrapped in a package that got lost in 2014. Nothing much to see here: just the usual Hollywood anti-Russian propaganda. A man's dog gets killed...and who's the baddies? The Russians, of course. This just shows me that since 1962 up to now we haven't moved forward one bit - a lot of movies are still filled with anti-Russian propaganda, but the directors never contemplate about the dark side of imperialist states like the USA and Britain. They are probably going to make a movie sometime about how the USA and Britain have never lost a war and how they are always doing everything perfect and never lost a single soldier in a battle. Go and watch this if you want to be tormented by the usual egoistic protagonist who takes out a whole bunch of Russians. A lot of people argued that the fight scenes are brilliantly done, but that doesn't compensate for the egoism and downright propaganda of the story. Lighting visuals are quite good and here and there you will find some suspenseful moments, but don't get too excited: suspenseful moments that have the potential to be constructed into psychological masterpieces are merely watered down and consumed by the apparent ""heroism"" of the protagonist.",2 "The CGI was beautiful (too beautiful to be realistic, in some cases) but that couldn't overcome the ridiculous movie. By the middle of the movie I wanted to slap the character. By the time the movie was over I found myself hoping she drowned. She was clumsy and incapable of anything. All she did was cry and moan the entire time. The kind of people that become astronauts must be highly trained, physically strong, and mentally stable. This character wasn't any of those things. Not only was the premise of the story too far-fetched to be believable, but even Interstellar was executed in such a way to make it more likely to happen. I know ""it's just a movie"" and it's just ""meant to be entertaining"", but I found myself groaning far too much to be entertained.",3 "I watched the movie immediately upon its release on N.....x and without having read any reviews first on IMDb. My motivation was the media hype and in particular, high expectations of another stellar performance by Sandra Bullock after her spectacular role in Gravity. Not. I was not as much upset about her below radar appearance as stealthy as the invisible beings, most stars have one of those lapses in their acting careers, than by the storyline so full of holes envied by makers of Swiss cheese. I struggled to comprehend the logic in one scene after another, to numerous to cite, that early into the painfully long script I just resigned myself to enjoy the acting. I patiently waited for Sandra to captivate me and take me along for a suspenseful ride instead of those birds, but at the end felt trapped as much as them in a black box, not seeing anything, just sensing a strange presence of something inexplicable. And that's the point, how to explain such a movie that should never have been made.",2 "James Wan was more directly involved in this one than the previous two Annabelle movies and it definitely shows. This was exactly the type of horror movie I love - a fun and terrifying haunted house thrill ride. The story wasn't anything terribly original, but it was very well done and we get to finally find out more about some of the cursed objects in the Warren house. Still not as scary as the Conjuring movies but it was definitely one of the most fun movies in the Conjuring universe.",7 "I know I'm over exaggerating, but this is the film that superhero fans have been waiting for. Spider-Man 2 balances itself as an action film; a horror flick; a special effects movie and a romance movie all in one wild ride. It's been two years since Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) became the hero Spider-Man; he's now in college at Empire State University studying physics, working at a pizzeria; and fighting crime at the same time. Yet, he can't balance everything, because with crime all over, he is fired from work, late for classes and gets fired back and forth by J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons) at the Daily Bugle. What makes the character Peter Parker likable to ""Spiderman"" fans is that he is more humanistic than Bruce Wayne or Clark Kent. In ways, Parker through the comics is shown growing up with problems of responsibility to being a superhero and a human being, even the scene where we see Parker's apartment reminds us that we're not alone. Even his relationships with his close ones aren't helping either; Parker's guardian Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) has doubts about her nephew and misses her husband after what had happened two years ago; his best friend Harry Osborne (James Franco) is head of special projects at OsCorp and is funding Peter's idol, Otto Octavius. Harry will always be there for Parker, but he hates Spider-Man after the death of his father (the son doesn't know), and the girl next door, Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) is a model and an actress on Broadway who likes Peter Parker, but doesn't want to wait for him anymore to tell her ""I Love You"" so she is going out with an astronaut who happens to be the son of J. Jonah Jameson. What is interesting about Spider-Man 2 is that unlike the first movie where the supporting characters had brief roles, everybody is involved. The new villain this time is Parker's idol Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) whose experiment involves a fusion reaction that will save the city energy of electricity, and with the help of four tentacle mechanical arms that will control the reactor. Yet, his experiment turns out to be a disaster when he realize that his work is a magnetically reactor by bringing all metallic objects causing the fusion to grow even higher; he loses the inhibitor chip that controls his upper brain and is unstable until the operation scene, which in my opinion is a really scary scene and the most realistic I've ever seen (Note: this scene may scare kids). After panic in the streets, Jameson comes up with the name Doc Ock. People back and forth complained about the first Spider-Man movie, saying that the 1st hour was better, the 9/11 scene was obtuse, the action was horrible, and that Spider-Man is like an animated cartoon. But in Spider-Man 2, the glitch is fixed. There are no problems like that; even the special effects are better looking than the original. When I bought the film for my parents to watch, they said that the special effects looked more realistic, and you know what? They were right. Spider-Man looks like he has more weight when he is swinging back and forth and Doc Ock's tentacles steal the show in special effects. With a team of puppeteers (who are erased) and CGI, Doc Ock is one scary villain as the audience sees the tentacles move, as if they are characters of their own. Plus the fight scenes are incredible as Ock and Spider-Man go at it, leaving a shocking look on people's faces. The setback in Spider-Man 2 involves Peter Parker's choice of wanting to be the superhero saving the city or being an average citizen. In one scene after seeing Mary Jane with her boyfriend, he loses his ability to swing from a building and hold on to a wall as he realizes that he's losing his powers. Though he doesn't figure it out, he goes to a doctor and that's where his advice of having a choice takes place. There is one scene that is not subtle and that is when Mary Jane kisses her boyfriend upside down, letting audience know that she still remembers that kiss from Spider-Man (even my dad caught it). Sam Raimi has outdone himself in a project that he has desired all his life and unlike the first film, Spider-Man 2 is the best superhero movie out there. It outdoes the predecessor in all directions from minute one; with a few surprises along the way, the film is worth watching and nonetheless, more exciting.",10 This is the greatest sequel ever made and in my opinion the finest film i have ever seen. I couldn't tell you how many time I have watched it.,10 "Hat on hat off, blood in her face one moment and it's gone the next. It's a lot of Michael Bay just as you should expect nothing more nothing less. But the laziness is oozing out of this movie. A little more effort in the continuity would be appreciated.",4 "Very weak and empty anime, I think the rating is high simply because of the famous names.",5 "Laughable. Wanting to ""sleep"" with someone does not make them a good actress! It's so bad it's funny. For some crazy reason people on here think sexiness and talent are the same thing or are interchangeable.... But, they are not. And true talent isn't subjective like""sexiness"" is. She's neither. Ugh. Terrible terrible terrible acting from the lead.",1 "Truly awful series. Five episodes in and NOTHING has happened. Just political match making- who will marry whom. Not to mention the cringy overacting by all. Torn between packing it in now or keep watching in the hope that it picks up. After all GOT started off a bit slow. However I'm rapidly losing patience. Life's too short. Incidentally why does everything have to look like 14th century England? Jousting, drinking from goblets, dressing the same, 14th century style music..... I'm waffling now to use up the necessary number of characters... blah blah blah... And don't believe all the fake 10/10s.",2 "The story itself already leaves much to be desired. The Scarlet Witch needs a girl who can travel to different multiverses, so she can be with her kids in another universe. Lame. At one point in the movie she's like ""I don't care if it's not my real kids."" - Umm then why bother anyways, she could've just adopted different ones and used some magic to make them look like hers. The movie was so bad, it turned into a spoof of itself. At one point, they're literally fighting with musical notes and scores. I had to leave the theatre, because it was unbearable to watch. It's like they ran out of ideas and asked the cleaning woman or a random kid on the streets. If there was a possibility to unwatch a movie and free some memory in your brain, I'd love to use it on this one.",2 "I grew up on these games and I went into this show not knowing what to expect but they really delivered a fun story. It's clear that they took the time to research the source materials and leave easter eggs and homages for those fans who played the games, as well as took the time to create a rich world and environment for the characters in the show. The dark humour fits the tone perfectly and I found myself genuinely laughing out loud during every episode. There were no bad performances from any of the actors as far as I am concerned (even the smaller roles). The music they chose for the soundtrack were all great songs which reflected the era that the games were released as well and I really enjoyed that aspect too. Overall I think this series was exactly what it needed to be to appeal to fans who played the games while also being unique enough that you can watch it on it's own. I hope we get more seasons.",8 "All, of course, are welcome to their opinion, so this is mine. First, anyone who gave this movie a sterling review are obviously enticed by catchy tunes and shiny things, for this movie is a clunky, shallow and obvious dance of superficiality. Musicals are fine and have a place, but when the songs get in the way of the story instead of helping aid the story and entertainment value of the work it's a problem and that's what happens here. Hugh Jackman is good, and gives an energetic performance, but in my opinion can't save this mess. If the musics is all that's important here, and it seems to be, do as I suggest in the subject line and buy the soundtrack. If, however, you are looking for a character study and an historical look at the person and character PT Barnum I suggest YouTube it, because you'll be very disappointed.",3 "Everybody just adores the body-switching comedy! Only this time, it's family man Jason Bateman and bachelor Ryan Reynolds doing the classic ""switch-a-roo""! Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds play Dave and Mitch, a bunch of best buddies that both dream about having each other's lives. With Mitch wishing for Dave's happy-parenting life, and Dave wishing for Mitch's bachelor life. After a drunken night out on the town, they both pee in a fountain, and wished for each other's lives. So now Dave is in Mitch's body, and Mitch is in Dave's body. Then, the next thing you know, Mitch as Dave screws up with the family and his law job, and Dave as Mitch experiences the bachelor life, while hooking up with his long-time crush, his new law partner named Sabrina, portrayed by Olivia Wilde. Now, all I can say is that the movie isn't that bad! There is actually better expectations when this movie provides a funny script with a heart, and two hilarious performances by Bateman and Reynolds. Bateman and Reynolds are one of the best buddies in a buddy film I have ever seen on the big screen. They provide a friendly chemistry, and it was nice to see these two faces in a movie. Leslie Mann is pleasant as Dave's wife, Alan Arkin has some light-hearted scenes as Mitch's father, but I loved Olivia Wilde in this movie as Sabrina, the temptress who works with Mitch...I mean Dave (you know what I mean). This film has it's stupid and gross-out moments, but besides that, this movie also has some heartwarming messages of not knowing what you have until it's gone. This movie is a fun, entertaining film with some running laughs, and heartwarming messages. By the way, this movie is rated ""R"" for a reason, since this movie is even more graphic and raunchy than it was in the trailers. Just sending a little warning. This film has it's moments, and it never disappoints, since this is a raunchy ""rated-R"" flick. ""The Change-Up"", in my review, ""entertainingly hilarious, and has heartwarming moments"".",8 "I thought it would be just crap like all the new horror movies nowadays. It was the best of them all 3 for sure and I even got scared several times. I mean movies like Slender man and truth or dare, this one was miles better and the acting was brilliant! I have the feeling they just make almost same movie over and over again by that I mean the jumpscares just are to predictable. I gave it 6/10 because it wasnt bad or perfect and it was 10 dollars was worth it!",6 "This is not your old-fashioned Bollywood film, with colored saris unfurled in green fields with dancing waves of wheat while romance blooms back at home in spite of interference from the older generation: when those musicals are good they are very good indeed. Instead, this is a gritty modern take on misunderstood romance, on living an attitude rather than a reasoned existence. The story is brilliantly filmed in many ways, with lots of electric neon color, the stunning visuals backed by a modern beat, a trio of moon dancers tossed in at one point for ironic counterpoint. I thought the young actress Kalki Koechlin was sensationally effective as a young woman on the run from her past, but the lead, Abhay Deol, although magnetic, can only carry moody angst so far, and after almost two hours of sulky, unshaven drugged-out, drunken staggering, Id had enough--how many times do I really want Abhay to get drunk or stoned or beat up?. It is fascinating to see the Bollywood product evolving in modern ways, but although sincerity was evident from this film, it went on about an hour too long: someone get the scissors!",5 "So, Penny is the mailman's kid I guess? Generic characters - the current day emasculated male, domineering unlikeable women. No plot to speak of, no chemistry, no humor. Do yourself a favor and watch the original. The Family Robinson this is not.",2 "Ok the whole creature thing is intriguing ias the only reason why i watched it cause, honestly, after the first three episodes (i think the get it wrong by putting all thew ""action"" in all those three only) it become one hour of endless boring and ""come on do something!"" sort of thing and honestly i know this is ""based on a book"" but there are actors (like Mendelson) that are a huge waiste and Holly's character is annoying all her parts could had been done by Mendelson but i understand the book is the book but honestly 10 episodes to tell a story that, honestly, it could be told in EIGHT... dont know about u but honestly one hour-10-episodes (that means... 10 hs whole season) felt like 20 hours to me boring and skipping boring parts... and even by skipping i understood the whole thing i didnt miss a thing... so stop making gum and tehy to stretch it and stretch it and stretch it, again, with EIGHT epidoes could had been enough!",6 "I first saw the title of this movie in one of Chetan Bhagat books,I was first doubting it...I swear by God, after seeing the movie all my doubts vanished...

Having seen it, I am convinced that the only person who should have won an Oscar for this picture is the amazing publicist, who managed to convince a large portion of the movie-going public that the Emperor was actually wearing, not just clothes, but the latest must-haves in the land. There is, I will acknowledge, a brief skit involving Bill and a Japanese photographer that is mildly amusing. Otherwise, it is nothing more than a film about boring people in a boring place who are bored. In one respect, it worked, as we were certainly bored. I convinced my wife not to walk out of the film on the basis that, when our friends asked us what we thought of it, we could give them an honest answer – having seen the whole film in its awful entirety.",1 "Sherlock is a genius in the fight against the criminal world. His methods, methods and techniques of catching criminals leave every viewer in shock. The plot of the film is structured in such a way that all seasons look like one big movie. While watching, you can enjoy absolutely all emotions: joy, sadness, admiration, pride, disappointment. I think that every person is obliged to appreciate this picture of a global scale. I advise everyone.",9 Too good to be bored. Didn't expect the movie would be so engaging. Good job Anurag Basu.,10 "So many plot holes and plot contrivances, can't believe audiences are this stupid, posibly even dumber than the moronic heroes in this movie",2 This is the only movie which will be remembered for ages.,10 "People love a good tragedy which probably goes someway towards the really high rating this movie gets and I'm probably not the target audience. It was OK, and pretty much the usual girl meets boy, girls falls in love with boy then boy dies - Ansel Elgort was pretty annoying with the whole cigarette metaphor thing, however, I did think Shaileen Woodley was superb. TBH I think that its a movie best suited for teenage girls or woman feeling a bit vulnerable in life so if you fall into that group you can probably add a point or two to the 6/10 I gave it.",6 "It's worth mentioning that due to James Cameron's visual work on this film this film was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar at the time and on the visuals alone, it is easy to see why. There aren't enough superlatives to describe them in the context of filmmaking in 2009, they are truly fantastic. However, the plot is absolutely horrible. The screenplay is instantly forgettable, and the plot is so intensely predictable you begin to wonder if spending hundreds of millions of dollars on making this film is necessary at all. What in all honesty is the point when you're guilty of making a film so overblown and overlong on characters that simply do not deserve or garner any real acclaim in contemporary cinema? James Cameron is more guilty than most of making epics that instead of captivate you for the long running time (which many films are capable of doing) you begin to wonder when the credits are going to roll. Overall, a visual masterpiece let down by virtually everything else.",3 "I don't understand why Fargo is considered a so good movie. It's good, surely, but I think it's weaker than any other Coen's movie. Films like ""The Hudsucker Proxy"" or ""O Brother Where Art Thou"" are spectacular - and they tell very good and funny stories about American way to be... just like Fargo intended to do. I don't know what is so funny hearing Frances McDormand saying ""ya"" all the movie. Perhaps the Coens wanted to tell jokes only American could understand.",7 "Firstly, I thought the production design, the costumes and the cinematography were really great. Christian Bale was good, but it did feel like I was watching an Al Pacino impersonation at times. Margot Robbie felt too gorgeous, first as a nurse in World War One, and then fifteen years later she doesn't appear to have aged at all, her acting never broke through the facade of her beauty. John David Washington felt one dimensional and so withdrawn that he has impossible to relate to. The story was interesting enough, and the concept of investigating one death, leading to witnessing another and then being framed for it, only to unearth and even more insidious evil is a good one, but the pace of reveals took too long, and the gravitas not correctly positioned for me. Such a huge support cast, who were fun to watch, but they all felt one dimensional, with the exception of Remi Malek. Watched this to see if it was truely terrible, but it wasn't too bad, just could've been so much better with a lot better editing.",5 Firstly the plot and making is one of the poorest I have ever seen. The local dialogues and accents are way far from what it is in reality. They show location to be Dhaka Bangladesh but everything in the movie is shot in India less some drone shots. Ot would be okay if they could make it believeable. Anyone from this sub continent would know how poorly they failed in portraying one location while shooting in other. There are many other technical glitches and the list is long. I never thought a Hollywood movie could be so poorly made.,1 "Sorry but I feel that this film was made as a stop gap after the big finale of the avengers saga, it didn't flow and the action was limited and messy, the marvel universe was due a bad one and for me this was it.",4 "I was looking forward to watching this movie ever since I read the book three years ago. I've always loved the 20's .... the music, costumes, Paris, Josephine Baker, the artists, the culture. If I could go back in time and spend my youth in any era, it would be in the 1920's. I love the story of The Great Gatsby because of the theme of love and obsession, and of course because of the setting in the 20's. The acting in the film was of a high standard. Leonardo was superb as Gatsby and likewise Carey fitted the role of Daisy very well. The music throughout the film was a shocker! I was horrified when I was bombarded with Jay Z, Beyonce, Kanye West and various other hip hop and dance tracks. I felt like walking out of the cinema. The party scenes at Gatsby's mansion was the perfect opportunity to show the world how awesome the 20's was for producing music that is still loved by many today. Instead we heard none of it, but were forced to listen to modern hip hop and dance. The actors were wearing 20's costumes, and were dancing using 20's dance moves, but to hip hop and dance music. I found it offensive and if I hadn't gone there with a friend, I would have walked out. If the director thought that fusing the 20's with the modern would make it seem ""cool"" and would appeal to a younger audience then obviously he was only interested in making money. He ruined what could have been a great film, and those people who really appreciate the 20's and expected something authentic will be utterly disappointed, offended and even angry that they spent money to have to listen to that awful music. I do NOT recommend this film to anyone who is expecting even a remotely authentic depiction of the 1920's. Well done to Leonardo DiCaprio though. He is maturing as an actor and is looking more handsome in this film than he has ever looked before.",4 "I tried watching this movie two times. First time couldn't pass 20 min. While watching I fell asleep. Then when I heard it won Oscar and Everyone kept talking about it. Thought about giving it a try one more time. It was just too much for me. I couldn't connect and I kept getting confused and felt asleep again. I read others reviews to get the insight. Like the title of the movie it was everything, everywhere all at once. I really wanted to like it but it just not for me. There are so many people who really like it. I'm not one of them. I love the Asians representation and I'm really happy for the cast though.",4 "This movies feels like a poor man's I am Legend. It is suspenseful and Sandra Bullock does an outstanding job. However, the movie is filled with ""gimme a break"" moments. If you can get past that, you'll be entertained.",6 "I have gold turn to rubbish, then I have seen rubbish turned to gold. This is neither, this rubbish turned to worse. This is a whole new level of boring, fake, unimaginative poor screen writing. The worse is that the producer hopes that the viewer is to stupid to realise that the it's crap covered in blood. Worst show I have seen other than Daredevil, which is easily the biggest load of rubbish ever.",1 "Technically flawless series; Beautiful photography and an exquisite soundtrack.

There is zero character development, no reason to care, the worst possible dialogue - this is straight up trash. Pretty trash. Still trash. When the characters are talking to each other, the only thought it my head is ""please shut up already"". Every character is flat, uninspired and dull. This sucks more than Eternals - which was awful. Imagine... this is worse than that tripe! Oh look... CGI.. whoopie. Who cares. Not me. Its a bit like Charlie Brown, when they speak but its just waffle sounds... this is that. Yawn. Boring. Make it stop. Everything Disney touches turns to excrement. Also, IMBD ratings are FAKE! There is no WAY this is a 7/10.",2 "NetFlix production value, in terms of cinematography, editing, etc., but broadcast television action cartoon in terms of storyline.

The editing, my god, the editing, by the middle of the movie I was wanting to gouge out my eyes. What a disjointed mess of a story. It distracts so much from the action and takes you out of the mood. Ryan Reynolds was just... Ryan Reynolds and his script was nothing else. Mediocre, even for Michael Bay.",6 Movie like bourne instead got bored Few scenes of J.L with legs wide open hidden from camera Seemed people in audience liked that part I was def exp some other movie. Shame. As J.L. Is ace actress,3 "The first time I heard about this movie, I had no idea what it was about. All I ever heard of it was that it was ridiculously funny, and after seeing it 500 times, I realized it was literally the most hilarious movie of all time! I like the part of when Fogell changes his name to McLovin.Hilarious! However, the cops in any scene was what made me laugh until I cried! The actors playing the cops are amazing; Bill Hader is my favorite actor of all time, and Seth Rogen is just awesome. Together, they make an unbelievably funny ""dynamic duo."" Jonah Hill is also great; him calling Fogell ""Fagell"" is funny. Michael Cera is adorable as always, playing the same shy teenage kid we all know and love.",10 "Swades is the most beautiful/touching Indian film I have ever seen. I have been deeply touched, and left on emotional note after viewing Hollywood film ""I am Sam"" & Italian film ""Vita e Bella, La"" And, now I can proudly say that an Indian film has done the same. Film shouldn't be just about Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge or Kuch Kuch Hota Hai or Dil To Pagal Hai. If you are a filmmaker, get the message out. There are so many issues to talk about. Not just in India, but globally. I also appreciated Revathy for a film like Phir Milenge. BUT make sure you recover your Money :-) Good job Ashutosh. Will be waiting for your next release. -Krunal",9 "The film had a good overall plot but lacked in detail. The centre portion of the film was repetitive with scene after scene of close combat fatal gun fights. Slow to start and even slower to end; I would say I guessed the ending but it also didn't surprise me in the least. Worth a watch if you can't find anything decent.",5 "I had very high expectations, mainly due to the cast. But this was such a let down, it was extremely slow. There were around 40 people in the cinema at the beginning of the movie, but at least 15 of them walked out! All different couples, not just one group. I've never seen so many people walk out of a movie. I had the urge to leave as well, but I kept watching, hoping that it would improve. I just wanted to grab my phone and play some games or read the news, but than I realised I couldn't cause that's rude in the cinema with other people around. I really wasted 2,5 hours of my life for this one.",3 Story running is fast. After watching we have to sit and have to think and arrange the story plots in sequence.,3 "Monica O My Darling review : Basically a crime thriller with a humorous twist; Vasan Bala's Monica O My Darling premiered on Netflix this week instead of taking the theatrical route. Looking at the fate of his earlier Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota (2019) which bombed despite being its brilliance, a direct OTT seems to be a wise strategy. Cut to the film, it starts with an accident suspiciously looking like a murder and then time-travels six years ahead. Jayant (Rajkummar Rao) is the newly crowned director of a Robotics company Unicorn. He is dating the CEO (veteran Vijay Kenkre)'s daughter Nikki (Akansha) until the secretary Monica (Huma Qureshi) drops the ""Main tumhare bachcha ki maa"" bomb on him. Then the game of blackmail and murder starts and soon enough, Unicorn becomes the epicenter of crime as each one of its top executives are bumped off one by one!! The screenplay is wonderfully woven in to a tight two hours ten minutes of thrilling ride which keeps you hooked and engaged throughout. There are plenty of pop culture references like a hotel named Prince Amar after Dev Saahab's immortal character in Jewel Thief (1967) and Dharmendra's iconic moment from Johnny Gaddar (2007) appearing at a crucial juncture. Vasan Bala even references his own movie by adding a fleeting appearances of his two leads. Its all fun, its pure retro and its highly entertaining. The performances are also first rate. Huma Qureshi is super duper as Monica Machado, the sexy secretary who has an affair too many for her own good. Rajkummar Rao is assuredly competent in a complex role where he doesn't know whom to trust!! Sikandar Kher springs a surprise as the CEO's sidelined and silently conspiring beta. It's good to see Shiva Rindani on screen after eons.. he's referred as Captain Zattack in one scene. Waah!! Radhika Apte as the investigating cop, doesn't get much scope but still leaves her solid mark. Monica O My Darling indulges in multiple genres at the same time. There is black humour, murder mystery, office politics, survival drama etc all mixed together perfectly. I loved the moment when Rajkummar and Huma get in to a deadly physical brawl, stop at one point and then reconcile. It reminded me of Sriram Raghavan's far brilliant Johnny Gaddar (2007). Incidentally here, a pivotal character is called Johnny too. Oh yes!! Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.",8 "My Rating : 3/10 The charm is gone it seems, I couldn't stand 'Spider-Man: Far from Home'. The Spiderman mythology takes a dip for me on 'Far from Home' - it's not as well-made like the previous instalments. It's a Post-Millennial-geared Spiderman and I'm simply not loving it. Don't waste your time on this. Not recommended for sure.",3 "Shazam! was fun :D Didn't quite love it but I did enjoy it 6.8/10. By no means a bad rating, my process of rating is quite strict so this is actually pretty good. I gave Man of Steel the same rating. If I had to pick out cons to justify my rating I'd say it has way too much exposition thrown at us with on the nose dialogue, unnecessary humor, too much flashbacks even when they're not needed, over the top acting here and there and a last act that really drags. Also, it gets too silly at times and suffers from the usual MCU problem where they don't focus on the consequences. But Zach Levi is awesome as this character. The kids had great chemistry with each other. The film does a good job of handling the family theme and packs a good emotional punch at times. Also, when the humor was on spot, jokes were hilarious. I'd say it's worth seeing if you are generally into superhero movies and even if you are an MCU fan because this is a different direction from DC's dark and gritty style but I was able to digest that because Shazam is supposed to be a fun and lighthearted character :)",6 """Fake it till you make it"", this has become a definitive principle for everyone who wants to become big these days. And it looks like seldom do people have moral torments caused by faking. As for making, it doesn't come easy even to those who are more than willing to sell their integrity. The story of Theranos was a recent example of that. Glass Onion falls short of that infamous achievement, but boy does it fake! The first film was a much smaller, but much more authentic story. It didn't have to pretend in order to be captivating, and maybe it didn't claim to stir the events on a global scale but at least all of its murders weren't staged. This film, however, is just one big cloud of PR confetti. From the moment it starts, it just keeps cramming more and more wannabe relevant stuff. Covid memorabilia that all of a sudden becomes a parade of nostalgia now that the pandemic is over. All that crypto mumbo jumbo that incidentally lost its charm following the market crash. Everything that this film wanted to sell us as relevant, has gone in a puff of smoke before the show even started. Failed investment anyone? But the main fraud is the story. Glass Onion may be shiny on the surface, trying to shock and captivate us with that intricacy of layers. But, as Benoit Blanc poignantly notes himself, at its core lies emptiness, so bland that calling it Glass Cabbage would do it more justice. When you watch so much huffing and puffing produce so little outcome, you're tempted to think that maybe ""it's not them, it's me"". Maybe you're not seeing something that really served as a punchline. And it's honestly tempting to think that maybe this whole production is a postmodernist satire in disguise, showing us the vanity of this ""ends justify means"" success hunting and pretence. It's actually appealing to think that all the big bets that turned into glaring losses, all that servility towards covid, crypto and even someone whose avatar in this movie has an actual facial resemblance to an elongated muskrat, it was all meant to flop in consonance with a truly visionary prediction of the future made when the outcomes were far from obvious. But sometimes our mistake is assuming a brilliant master plan where there's in fact plain stupidity. And that's exactly what I think Glass Onion is. A stupid little story puffing its cheeks to look impressive, because faking never looked so promising. Unfortunately, this film shares another trait with its not so bright key character: it's not even hateable. Just like Miles Bron, Glass Onion is simply mildly pathetic, to a point of lukewarm charm. We get to see a few entertaining moments and one or two sharp dialogues, and Daniel Craig gets to live his post-Bond life wearing funny bathing suits, looking at sport cars with zero lust in his gaze and speaking with the most non-British accent imaginable. Well, at least someone was enjoying himself! As for us the viewers, we could either have our own moment of nostalgia thinking about how actually witty and quirky Knives Out was, or simply enjoy the finale of moving fast and breaking things, an idea popularised by another backstabbing tech dude. Disruptors, assemble!",6 Good one... Anurag Basu again show his creativity... to show 4 plots and unite them in a nice way..,8 It's like watching bad theatre. Super corny and not funny. Not sure what I expected but I thought it would be better than that.,1 "On Monday June 30 2004 My Mom and My Little Brother I went To Go See Spider-Man 2 At The Movie Theather For My Friend's Brithday Party. I Am Now 9 Years Old.

Feel like maybe too much times spend on some characters or situations that i wish was spend more on magical spell demonstrations and action related. Still a good show at times for fan of medieval magic realm styles. I never read the books but some say it is better and different , still im glad series exist, decent production and actors, ok script, confusing edit style and too many bla bla many names i got lost about story structure. Cavil saved the show wth is anti hero charisma tuf guy.Hoping S2 same or better!",7 "Barbie is really not a good film. The IMDB rating is pretty flattering, although I have seen far worse films. In terms of what I liked; I thought the set design and colour scheme were nice. It did have a couple of funny moments. Other than that I can't praise the film too much. The acting isn't bad but the what was needed was good writing, which this film severely lacks. It's all over the place and doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. As a comedy movie it's not very funny, as mentioned I laughed maybe 2 or 3 times but overall it feels more like a drama. The message is deep and not befitting of a comedy film based off of a beloved children's toy. It is also quite long, nearly 2 hours in length, and it is not a very enjoyable experience in my opinion. Maybe I'm just not the target audience for this film, but I can't see too many positives about it.",4 "This movie is seriously missold. Having seen the trailers I expected a good old fashioned whodunnit murder mystery. Imagine my surprise that when the characters are first interviewed the film actually shows the true version of events. It's quite funny as one story contradicts another and the over the top characters throw digs at one another. This mechanic is also used when the murderer is interviewed... So yes, the murderer is know within the first 20 minutes of the film. The film also uses a plot device where one character cant lie without throwing up. It makes the investigation farcical when the detective has a 100% accurate witness statement. He may as well have had CCTV. So the investigation you already know the ending to, you're not rooting for the murderer to get away with it (which is what the film is really about) and the rest of the characters are made to be dislikable so you're not rooting for them either. So in a 90 minute film you have zero interest in the middle 70 minutes, it is incredibly boring. The final 10 minutes has a few twists that are truly ridiculous and I'd long ago lost interest.",4 "Captain American 2 was a great movie, one of my favorites in the Marvel world. The fist Avengers film was a fantastic one as well.. .this one surpasses both in a way that defies convention. The plot is different in that it is adult and strong in theme. The characters are established and so we are invested in what happens to them. Usually a 3rd outing of a film is weak and disappointing, so imagine my surprise when i see this EPIC ACTION film better than the last 2 captain America movies. Which is a rare thing to do in the cinematic world. I don't want to give spoilers away, but SPIDERMAN steals the show, and BLACK PANTHER or whoever Mr. Catwoman is lol is pretty cool. At the core of the film, the theme is friendship and loyalty. Watching Iron Man VS. Captain America fight, its inevitable to not compare to that other little film that came out this year where 2 male superheroes were pinned against each other.. and one can see this IS WHAT that other film should have been. The action sequences looked incredible, the special effects fantastic and the dual loyalty we have between both teams is an excellent psychological sell for it makes us root for both teams, understand both teams and ultimately cry for both teams (no I did not cry lol) but man was i ENTERTAINED ! As the final entry in the CAP AME. trilogy, this is going out with a damm BANG! This is the definition of a blockbuster film. (ps. ANTMAN WAS KIND OF AWESOME) Final Grade A",10 "Was I really expecting anything more from a Michael Bay movie? The first 15 minutes is pretty much one long action scene with a weird yellow filter that is just one ridiculous car crash/explosion after another, laced with typical Ryan Reynolds quips throughout. After 15 minutes, I was exhausted from boredom rather than excitement and pulled the pin. It wasn't fun, it was just a mess filmed at every camera angle known to man in half second cuts. Maybe there is a plot later in the movie but I couldn't hang around to find it.",2 "Bollywood has several slapstick comedies but there are even some situational comedies made mostly in 70's KHOSLA KA GHOSLA(2006) is one such film where you can identify with the characters and their problems appear real The characters of the KHOSLA parivaar are damn identifiable and this is a big strength The problems faced appear natural There are many funny scenes none overdone The film also has emotional scenes which strike your heart Their plans to overpower Boman may look unnatural but there are treated in a nice manner and till the climax the film holds your attention Dibakar does a g8 debut and does a g8 job Music is good Amongst actors Anupam proves why he is one of the best actors, he plays Khosla brilliantly, he looks the characters and portrays it with such simplicity yet powerfully he makes you feel for him Ranveer excels with his Haryanvi Boman too excels in his role which has a hangover of LRMB but yet he excels(this film started before LRMB though) Parvan Dabbas is good too in his role Navin Nischol strikes a perfect comeback and is superb as Bapu Tara Sharma is okay Vinay Pathak too excels in a brief role",8 "Peter Serafinowicz as ""The Tick""! This is a bad joke right? How could he fill the broad shoulders of destiny? And how would he be better than Patrick Warburton and the 2001 series? So I sat down ready to the full geek tear-down, Picking at everything that was wrong or not as good as the 90's cartoon or the live action TV show from 2001. Needless to say i wasn't expecting much from this 30 minute pilot, But after the ""Woop"" had finished and my brain adjusted to a darker tone than any previous incarnation of ""The Tick"" I was transfixed. Griffin Newman as Arthur Everest and the or ""realistic"" take on this world and its characters was just perfect. In the past Arthur's reasons for being a hero was flat to be fair. He was just a bored accountant who wanted to do more with his life, The change in motivation for the character just worked and just the tone for the overall comedy and narrative style. Another worry i had was with Peter Serafinowicz was playing the tick, This in my head it just didn't make any sense, He just isn't built to take on the suit. The Tick was the embodiment of the 90's comic book characters, Big ""Bisley-esk"" Beasts of men, all muscle and mass. Patrick Warburton (AKA Joe Swanson family guy) was the whole package for the job and still is in my view. Sad to say once we actually got some real screen time with ""The Tick"" my worries were sort of validated. Let be clear on this as I love Peter Serafinowicz and I have always thought should get more recognition and screen time, But not this. I got over the size change relatively quickly but he made ""The Tick"" too smart and insightful in his delivery. If you know the previous incarnations you will know he could be beaten at a game of breathing by a bag of rocks. This all being said by the time the show had finished I wanted more, I worry this show will get overlooked with it being on ""Amazon"" and that it's going to get more views by people watching it on free to use stream sites.",8 It was one of the worst movies of recent years. The only redeeming parts were the shots of Paris.,1 "This is so, and I cannot stress this enough, SO much better than WandaVision. Finally we get characters with depth and multi-dimensional villains that have actual motivations and aren't just evil for the pure sake of being evil (I'm looking at you, Agatha). Lack of character development and motive has always been THE major problem in Marvel Movies. It's so refreshing to watch a Marvel show that is actually trying to make me care about it's characters (or as another user put it ""One episode gave Sam and Bucky more development in 45 mins than in 6 movies""). However, I do agree with some of the criticism regarding The Falcons financial situation. Seems a bit far fetched.",7 "Ip Man is not a best movie, but is not so so movie, we can say this is The Best movie for Donnie yen. But compare with The Warlord is still far.Donnie just try so hard for his acting skill in this movie.We all knew that Donnie Yen is good at fight but in acting he is not a good actor.In this movie he try to concentrate to act so he gave the action director position to Sammo Hung and Liang Xiao Xiong. This time they both not disappointed us. The Wing Chun style looks real and beautiful, the best fight was Ip man challenged 10 Japaneses in Dojo, this is the best from Donnie yen.May be Ip Man is the best movie for him, but compare with Jet Li he still need to do more.we all know that Jet Li is the most popular martial artist in the world for now since Bruce Lee,and Jet Li just won the best actor for his role In 'The warlord' from HK movie award., he proved he can act. Donnie Yen is not bad at fight but for his acting is not too good. He knew it.So he just keep doing hard, Wilson Yip is a talented director.Donnie +Wilson is a good couple. So Ip Man is the best so far for Donnie but we expect more… If you are a martial movie fan, so watch it…7/10",7 "The Godfather Part II is truly an amazing film. Absolutely fantastic performances from everyone in the entire cast. I think that Al Pacino should have won best actor at the Oscars. This film is easily one of the greatest sequels ever made. Complex story, amazingly shot, and beautifully scored, The Godfather Part II deserves to be called a true masterpiece of cinema, and a tortured influential saga of crime, family, and corruption. Films like this arn't made anymore. This is just as good a film as The Godfather part I, and possibly a little better. A must-see classic. Every minute in this movie is made with care and every frame bubbles with dramatic tension and amazing cinematography. 100%",10 This is a worst movie of my life...dont waste ur time...,2 "What is in this stupid series? 1. No proper story. Such gangster drama seen in many bollywood movies., nothing new. 2. Dumb inspector Sartaj Singh who is suspended and ordered to surrender gun, but he still use his gun and even working, how possible? 3. RAW agent Radhika looks like a working woman not an RAW agent, no attitudes, no official dress and nothing brilliant mind to find out criminals. 4. Very abused word about Late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Producers and directors must have shame on themselves. I strongly object such stupid thing. 5. Lots of abuse words and open love making scenes which attract Hindi series viewers who highly praised for such things because they have not been watching before in Hindi and never saw any Hollywood series in life.( Giving 8,9 & 10 stars by them who saw their first series or writing first review.) 6. Too many characters, some of them appeared suddenly with no sense and you have to use brain where we seen them before? 7. Gaitonde died in very first episode then there are numerous possibilities to show such foolish episodes to bore you again and again. 8. What is the end? Leaves on you to watch one more( or many?) garbage season. Nothing to worth such garbage series, totally garbage only headache. High rating viewers are great!",1 "This film greatly improved upon its predecessor, and I loved the last film so that should tell you what I think about this film. The Russo's direction is wonderful and nuanced with Evans giving another outstanding performance as Steve Rodgers, and the added chemistry between him and Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow give the film closer relationships to play with. The emotional fight between The Winter Soldier and Cap gets me every time. This film will always be in my top rated MCU Films and I'll be with it til the end of the Line.",9 "Where to start with this movie... if you liked the ""life action"" Lion King that's fine I'm not here to tell anyone what to like or not but it just really saddens me to see people praise it for basically copying the original... trust me I know animators still worked hard on it but the original was taking a risk, it was something new and exciting and at the time no one knew if it would do good or not! The remake just feels gross to me at this point like on top of that the original has WAY more heart and fun in it then the remake has in it's little finger! This movie just had no heart, they forgot what made the original so good in the first place and honestly I could never see myself wanting to watch thsi version over the original. Honestly though as much as I didn't care for this movie I believe it was doomed to begin with because of what it had to live up to and that's exactly why I don't really care for all these live-action versions Disney is making.",2 "Don't get me wrong but I never found chemistry between Abhilash and Dhairya strong enough. I get that he was frustrated with result of his last attempt but I don't get his hate for Dhairya. Also story of SK was left incomplete. I think he needed a bit more closure, we are never shown his journey from aspirant to a teacher. I think he is left behind a little bit in the story of Abhilash and Dhairya. Perhaps one more episode would have filled that void. Character of Sandeep was absolutely amazing. It had all the elements of what the life truly is. Overall it's a good series and is must watch for everyone.",8 "This is basically the same movie, same jokes, same characters except the villain is red this time. The plot is so predictable it fills you with regret in the first 15 minutes. If I didn't pay for this I would have walked out. Sony has already screwed up.",3 Avatar the last Airbender is more than just a tv show. It gives you life lessons. The bond that i made with the characters is never ending. Every scene is worth watching and most of the scenes and dialogues gave some kind of life lessons. Honestly this show changed my life. My favorite characters were Aang and of course Iroh. I've watched it more than 3 times but still everytime it teaches me news things. Without spoiling i would recommend everyone to watch it and thanks me later 😊.,10 "I don't understand how this movie can have a rating of 7.9. Maybe the people voting on this one first reduced their IQ's by about a 100 points. I think that the name of this movie says it all. When you go to see it (which I suggest you don't) you can expect to have a SUPERBAD time. The maker of this movie seems to have no train of thought. The storyline is completely mind numbingly dumb. The two main characters are completely gay for each other. You can hear the word ""fuck"" at least 2 million times in the movie making your ears sick of hearing it by the end of it. Add to all this it is two hours long at the end of which you might feel like killing yourself. Take my word for it skip this movie, its as bad as it could get.",1 Well even the thought of superheroes getting bad is great and I dont know much about the comic.But the show is great!,9 "Sad how Portman was removed, just added to the cheap lets make one in Australia feel. The kiwi rock man was a plus. The Valkyrie was stupid with op powers and didnt fit. Kate, my god, could they have found a more boring vanilla private school teacher with all the curves of a 14 year old boy. Do better people your waseting everyones money",4 "Season 1 was very very good! could not stop watching, it was sad, sweet, very interesting, season 2 was not as good, but still it was pretty good, so i had high hopes for season 3, and omg its awful... i dont even want to finish it its so bad.",8 "Samthing don't mix! Like Bollywood, Hollywood and Netflix! A few small stars in this darkness. A waste of time watching this.",2 Watched it for the the first time. In order to enjoy this movie you need to be prepared. You need to be focused and pay attention or else you will get lost. You also have to be patient. You needs these things to really understand this movie because this film can get overwhelming. There is a lot of going on and can be overwhelming. Normally when I sit down and watch a movie I like to relax on my couch and will probably check me phone in the beginning until it reall catches my attention. With this movie you can't do that. You need to fully pay attention and it lowkey felt like I was forced to watch it because of how much focus you need to watch this film. I feel like a great movie shouldn't be that hard to watch. This is why I take some points off the rating. Other than that the movie is good and I understand why people give it a 10/10.,6 "This Series have so many scenes, dialogues and acts related to spiritualism. You should watch it carefully and with a wide mindset so that you can understand the depth behind it. There is a diversification in religion aspects also, you will see many things related to many religions.",10 MOVIE WAS NICELY CRAFTED EVERY SINGLE FRAME KAITHI WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU AND MAINLY IN THIS MOVIE NO LOOSU HEROINS AND NO SONGS EVER HATS OFF TO DIRECTOR AND I M WAITING FOR HIS NEXT THALAPATHY MOVIE WAITHING VERITTHANAM,10 "I had to turn this movie off halfway through. Im an adult and I can handle a ""cuss word"" here and there, but I dont like when they are assaulting my ears at every turn. The ""F-word"" was constant, and they portrayed a police officer as a good dad, but then had him saying ""GD"" to his children multiple times as if it was cute. Not a good movie, but not a horrible movie. This is a movie that depicts a small town well. And I did find myself laugh a couple times at the irony of a situtaion portrayed. Well acted. But long and seedy.",4 "I was not a big fan of The Witcher's first season. In fact, upon writing this review after watching season two, I discovered I had given the show a rating of 3/10 following season one. I've now changed it to 8/10. Yeah, this is kind of improvement we're talking about here! Of course, a big part of the reception of a show or film comes down to how viewers felt about the show. From season one, The Witcher had a big following. My issues with the show for season one had to do with the quality of the directing and, in particular, the writing. Well, season two is in my opinion brilliantly written, and well directed. From the story, the characters to the action, this is great television. Regarding the original material this season is based on, the show is taking liberties and changing the story around quite a bit. Nonetheless, they have done a fantastic job, giving us a different and very enjoyable take on the world and characters we know and love. For example, to get a sense of how much better this season is over the last one (If, like me, you felt the first season was lacking), and I cannot believe I'm saying this, I find the show's adaptation of A Grain of Truth better than Andrzej Sapkowski's original short story! If you didn't enjoy the first season, definitely give season two a shot. Heck; if you couldn't finish the first season, just jump straight to season two and catch up by watching the 'previously on' montage. I went from not caring much about the show, to gagging for season three!",8 "Season 01: English Dubbed For a show that has a lot of Elements being influenced from Dragon Ball Universe, and where the main character has a lot of fights ended by just One Punch, it never gets Boring. In fact, there is always a light tone set, combined with a lot of Gore. As the show progresses, there is more combining of the comedic and seriousness of the story together, and the Writers manage to do that. The aggressive enemies make some of the fights appear to be a long Fight, until One Punch Man destroys in a single strike, here the KOs are accompanied by a bit of comedic timing. The true Strength of the show lies in Mocking an enemy, as if they were nothing, by making the details look Sublime and the fighting sequences beyond comprehension, mix it with a flavor of humor/comedy and we get a near perfect anime. Eg: Saitama fighting Genos shows why this Anime is amazing",9 "What I liked: It's quite a moral study. The main thing I got from it was that actions have consequences and you're rewarded in life by the way you treat others. The Coen's have a really great understanding and control of their characters. I found it entertaining throughout and any film that is 1hr30 long is a great film in my book. I love Frances McDormand in this and just in general I think she's a great actress. I also love how the North Dakotan setting was one of the main characters. What I disliked: I didn't really find it particularly complex or studiable (i think i made that word up). I also understand it's supposed to be a black comedy but I really didn't find it funny, I think maybe the fact they're so nice and have funny accents is supposed to be the funny part but maybe that would be more effective if I knew anything/ cared about people from the Midwest. I'm not marking down Fargo for this but I think three bilboards outside Ebbing Missouri is largely inspired by this film but does a much better job at studying morality and the consequences of our actions.",8 "I can only give LaLa Land a 6. With all the hype I really thought I would be more entertained. The story has been told so many times. The dance scenes are fun - not quite old Hollywood but close. The special affects were fun - like the dancing in the stars - actually quite beautiful even though you can tell how they did it. Very little dialogue -and that was OK but it was missing something to me - cannot quite put my finger on it. The colorful costumes were fun, the music was good but I do not think I will be humming any song tomorrow. John Legend was good - and he did write some good songs for the movie. So to me, it was an interesting movie and if the Oscars had a musical best movie award - it would probably get it since there is little competition. I do not see it as a best movie for 2016. I do not think I will be thinking of this film in the next week and to me, when I am still thinking of it later then it has stirred something in me to make it memorable. I know it took a long time to get this film made and I respect the diligence of the director to do that. But it just did not do it for me.. Sorry- I think I may be in the minority but that is my opinion..",6 "Venom: Let There Be Carnage, is the highly anticipated sequel that dwells into chaotic action and introduces a expanded story on the bond between Eddie Brock and Venom. I will say that this movie is by far a lot more fluid and polished than Venom 1 was, and has a little bit more depth than the first one did. Now that isn't speaking too much volume to the movie itself, because it still suffers the same pacing issues the first one has. There are some pretty good moments scattered throughout the movie that stick out well and there are some things that probably should've been expanded upon more or had more in-depth coverage of. The action was improved much more compared to its predecessor and it looks great. The villain is awesome, and Woody Harrelson did a fantastic job of portraying Cletus Kassidy. Tom Hardy as usual has done a phenomenal job for both the voice and acting of Venom/Eddie Brock. I noticed complaints about Venom's voice but it wasn't all too different from his first film either. My main complaints that I found with the film was the lacking in Carnage's motivation/goals and the development overall. There were so much things that didn't stick out well for me with how Carnage was portrayed as a symbiote, and it just had me more so confused- similar to Venom's sudden change for staying on Earth from the first movie. The movie is incredibly fast, and burns through its short runtime giving the audience everything it has upfront. The best way to put it is the first hour of the movie contains the Eddie/Venom relationship, and the last half hour is Venom VS Carnage for the rest. Unfortunately, it just suffers the same pacing/writing issues that the first one has, but because of how chaotic and packed it is, it's much harder to see the poor pacing/writing. The movie overall is totally for fans of Venom and Carnage, it was never intended to be a down-to-Earth replica of the comic books and it was definitely not meant to be taken seriously, it's a fun movie nevertheless and it engages with the audience with its comedy and action scenes. It's a great time to watch the titular antihero go against his arch nemesis in cinema. I would recommend anyone to see it if they enjoyed the first Venom, but those that didn't really enjoy the first one probably won't see much of an improvement here other than some small updates made to the fights and relationships. The post credits scene is worth the film alone, but that to me is what takes away from the film in its entirety. The post credits scene is remarkable and probably one of the best post credits scenes we will ever witness, but it takes away the attention from the film itself. Regardless, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a great action film full of mindless absurdity and chaos that will satisfy avid MCU and comic book fans for the vast majority.",7 "I still remember when christian movies were nothing more than straight to video crap, with no production values and horrible scripts. Times have changed. This is a very polished movie with great production values and is very competently made. The script, unfortunately, is still horrible. I find it funny that some people get offended because I, an atheist, got the audacity to watch a movie that clearly is not made for me. Well, I did, and I can say that it is indeed fairly bad, as expected. This is not a terrible story and could make for an enjoyable movie, even if it's not the most original of stories, but by making it such a biased religious propaganda it loses any credibility that it might have had, had it been told in a more objective way. It was so overly melodramatic that my eyes did a 360 in their sockets.",4 "When I first saw the trailer I was not impressed at all despite the fact that I saw the trailer after everyone started raving about it. It was awkward unique and didn't quite showcase the awesomeness that this movie. So the movie starts with a quintessential Desi setting of a wedding! A busy dad, decorations, excited aunties, flowers, cute kid but what was unique and what sets out that this movie is going to be good, is the depth given to Rani's character (Kangana Ranaut) Then after a clichéd song featuring the fat Indian wedding *Minor spoiler alert* We learn that Rani's fiancé, Vijay (Rajkummar Rao) wants to cancel the marriage. So far so simple, so typical and yet unique. But then the chicken crosses the road! Instead of going on with her usual life, Rani decides to continue with her honeymoon. This moment is where the film exits the Mainstream cinema and enters into Parallel cinema. That goes the premise. What follows is a blend of unique and rich characters which are detailed in a subtle way. From the bold Vijaylaxmi to charming Alexander to sweet Taka to everyone, every character gives contributions to the excellence of this movie. Kudos to Vikas Bahl for realising such deep characters, all of whom have depth, but never seem forced. In fact! The characters are so good that one can even challenge David O' Russel! As for the acting goes. KANGANA RANAUT! She nails the role of Rani. Making her comeback to peak form after Fashion. The extent to which Kangana nails this role one cannot simply imagine this movie with any other actress. Lisa Haydon too nails the role of Vijayalakshmi. Given the character she handles it well enough, never letting our mind think that she was just there to show skin. Although, the skin too was a bonus! Mom papa se Goa mai mili… Boom Boom! Mai agayi! Rajkummar Rao has proved his worth time and time again. Queen is no exception. Only one can so that he got somewhat shadowed by the 2 strong female characters. As for the rest of the supporting cast goes Canadea Marco, the Italian restaurant owner shines brighter than the company. Also, the stripper subplot was a delight, and I say this not for its eye-candy but its bittersweet reality. When parents receive this money, its only money. Seriously! Jobs like these shall not be a taboo nor shall they be seen as highly immoral acts. They are simply the jobs that are less good. Many of them don't do it out of will, they are either used or forced. If only we can use our eyes to look into other's eyes and not just their boobs can we see the real beauty and the pain of it. Verdict: All in all Queen along with English Vinglish (The inferior offering) are eye openers for the patriarchal society that we live in today. One of the rare movies, which I see and say that I couldn't have done it better, and trust me! That means that I consider it to be one of the best films to come out of India in recent years.",10 "This is one of those shows where the individual parts when looked at separately do not seem to add together to be anything special. but you put all the little pieces together you somehow end up with something super fun, easy-to-watch, oddly wholesome and very enjoyable. And with that I give you Dr. Stone.",8 "I was expecting alot more from this film , i would have liked to see more off ed and lorraine characters in it , they are only at the beginning and end off the film , story line was quite poor . ive loved all the other films but i just did not enjoy this one .",5 "Thank god there are other people in the world whom don't 'love' this film. Pirates of the Caribbean is so overrated, if it wasn't for johnny depp, then it would be a washout completely, which says a great deal about it. If I am honest I fell asleep about three quarters of the way through the film, out of sheer boredom, i think Knightley's famous line 'try wearing a corset' set me down for the night. I saw this film last year, and had expected a masterpiece since many people had such high praises for it. The storyline is mediocre, the acting of two of the key actors, Knightly and Bloom (sorry I don't know their characters names, there is a simple reason for this!) is very average. I can remember very little from the film, as it has mere substance. Unfortunately, I have to now deal with people having panic attacks over the release of the sequel..oh well.",3 "I slogged on until the young new wife had to pee while witnessing domestic abuse. I put the DVD back into the sleeve sealed it and asked WTF is so wonderful about this contrived, sequential, by-rote portrayal of injustice. I was interested because of all the golden globes and oscars. But now, I know for sure it's just because of the topic and NOT the content. This movie made me angry!",2 "I realize that there's a bunch of nasty things happening on the screen and there are a couple of scenes that were chilling/sad, but I just couldn't help but laugh at some of the gawky exchanges that took place between some of the characters. I began watching this movie with some uneasiness as a friend expressed revulsion over it. That friend must've been in a funk to derate this flick. Despite the content and the overlay of a peculiar accent that I didn't even know existed, this is a good movie. It would be a good movie without the language accent, but it wouldn't be as funny. The actors could take their characters on the road and make a good living.",9 "While I am writing this review My heart is heavy, Eyes filled with tears, And my breathing is pure. Her joyful face and eyes filled with tears, Her gratitude for the one she loved is all visible in her eyes #charlie Movie is so much more than animal lovin' it is the essence of the love which animal have towards other beings who look out for them, The kindness in their heart is what humanity is all about, Dog love brings out humanity in him. Movie have so much core to it that whoever watch it will be melted. I wish everyone watch this film and cherish the beautiful thing which exists in this universe which will move you to your core. A life of love!",10 I think this movie is very highly overrated.most of the reviews are by crazy batman fans i think..so they have rated above 9.i am no fan of batman nor of Christian nolan.i like his direction though.this movie was so boring..everything is predictable and the background score is so good that it does not fit to this movie..some guys posted comments saying the graphic work is better than avatar...what a kiddie comment.its not a superhero movie..its just another action movie.when you speak of action movies there are several better flicks than this ..for example the bourne series.whoever has given rating of 9/10 are either crazy fans or they don't see the movies regularly...if they have seen they would not rate this as 9.or may be they are paid to rate this movie well.who knows.?,3 "Give us a break. The movie is ok but nothing new, utter predictable, I do not know why this movie is expected to win The Academy Awards. Parasite is 100 better than this film.",6 "Just came back from cinema, and its over rated and same old formula flick. Nothing new , but this time the prop was a plastic hand Dont know how movies got these ratings , but now i believe that they hire an agency to pump up review rating. Acting was okay , this could be a short twilight zone episode which was stretched into a full length movie. Its truth or dare mixed with 13 ghosts and few other flicks and here you go with a movie. So i wont recommend you to go, spend your hard earned money and watch it in cinema, instead wait and watch at home. Its a movie you soon will forget, so even if you are not going to watch this one , there will be no impact on your life or imagination.",5 "The film starts out great. The first 15 minutes of the film make you think you are in for a treat, mainly because of the production value. Then the movie gets boring quickly. Then dull. And then you pretty much spend a lot of the watching the film with one eye on your watch.",4 The only reason I gave it as good of a review as I did is because I grew up in Los Angeles and was familiar with the history. Otherwise it's somewhat forgettable.,6 "after hearing different reviews from this film i had no idea what to expect but unfortunately i did not like it. To me this film has far to many ""magic tricks"" that didn't make sense and didn't need to be there and at the end of this movie rather than thinking about all the twists i only thought about these moments. The other part of this movie that bothered me was the cast. Whilst you may think it has a stellar cast for me the characters lacked depth and interest, i couldn't find myself engaged with any of the characters and to be honest i thought the acting was poor. If the director cut down on the long meaningless trick scenes and instead built in a story and a background for the characters i would have been more interested. To wrap up my analasys i would say that this film was poorly executed. i think the basic idea for the story was quite good with the twists that it produces but somehow the makers got caught up trying to make an ""epic mindf**k"" movie they forgot to add a story. throughout the whole film i didn't have any emotional responses and quite simply couldn't wait for it to end.",3 "Main Hoon Na is an action comedy written and directed by choreographer turned director Farah Khan in her directorial debut. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Sushmita Sen, Sunil Shetty, Amrita Rao, Zayed Khan, Kirron Kher, Boman Irani, Bindu, Satish Shah, Kabir Bedi, Murali Sharma and Naseeruddin Shah. Major Ram is given orders to go undercover as a college student to protect a general's daughter from a rogue soldier. He even has to fulfil his dying father's desire to reconcile with his family as his step brother also studies in the same collage. Farah Khan in her directorial debut impressive on almost every front, be it plot, execution, music, songs, comedy and romance. She didn't disappoints in this film and makes the film a good and impressive watch. The plot of the film is good and execution is impressive. The collage humor and the comedy works icing on the cake. Screenplay of the film is impressive and will keep you glued to the screen. Acting is decent and Srk impresses and almost carries the film on his shoulders. Sushmita Sen looked elegantly pretty and beautiful and was impressive. Zayed Khan and Amrita Rao were the only thorn in the flesh and barring very few scenes they irritates whenever they are on screen. Support Cast of Bindu, Kirron Kher, Satish Shah, Boman Irani looked impressive and entertains. Naseeruddin Shah looked decent, Kabir Bedi was under used and Sunil Shetty was average in the negative role. He has many scopes to impress the audience bet in my personal opinion he wan't that impressive. Music in the film was very impressive and almost all the songs were good, climax of the film was also impressive. Overall an entertaining film to watch.",8 "This and IN THE BEDROOM should be required viewing for insomniacs who also happen to be 'culture vultures'. Neither movie has much going for it, but this year has been so AWFUL for films that this is the best we can drum up. Ronnie Howard glosses over a good story and makes it palitable for any market, turning it into a Hallmark Special. Some of the acting is good, but overall a big ho-hum.",1 "Again a movie where i was kind of ""dragged"" into by my friend. I was expecting to be not only bored but actually annoyed by it - mainly because off of all the A-list heroes, captain America is probably my least favorite...or has been. What can i say - i was not bored - and actually liked the character shortly into the movie. Captain America and Widow have a pretty good chemistry and work well on screen. A fair warning though to people like me - who have no or very little background knowledge about all the Marvel heroes.. There is not much explanation given. When i was in the theater - everyone seemed to know who hydra was or why they tried to infiltrate the secret service of America. It seemed like a big deal that was never explained. The only criticism i have is Wasn't that an avengers movie? They could have called more of them in. Ironman, Halk or the Arrowguy. Instead they had this man with the wings that did not feel like a real hero. Anyway - it was fun to watch - and i wouldn't mind watching it again on a video night.",8 "This movie waste my time because there not perfectly represent Bangladesh and Bangladesh culture. 1. Movies inside Bangladeshi CNG, Banner, wrong spelling Bangla word. This is not Bangladeshi actual location. Bangladesh have nice location and Bangladesh Police,Army not drug dealer supporter they hate drug dealer and drug. At first research and make plot. 2. Movies Bangla language not Bangladeshi its Kolkata Bangla. 3. Movies action is good but movie India and Bangladesh plot not perfectly right. 4. There have no Bangladeshi actor and actress so its not Bangladeshi movie. 5. I am fan of ""Thor and Avengers"" also Hollywood movies, but its not a perfect movie plot for India and Bangladesh relation. India and Bangladesh have a good relation with both. Respect they any other. I can't believe Hollywood can make and released this type movie.",4 "Unfortunately this is no harry potter, Fantastic beast has a weak and boring story, the main plot is unclear and messy, with characters that has no charisma. If you compare this to harry potter its this is very much trash, the whole movie is just a bunch of cgi monsters doing nothing wondering around, perhaps its enjoyable playing pokemon go. This is another good example why the rating is such an unreliable bs.",2 "I found myself hating this film as much for the references (which were supposed to be a selling point but weren't even really references, just nostalgic wallpaper to cover over the fact that the stakes in this film were almost irrelevant as I didn't really care what happened to the central characters because they were bland, generic garbage) as I did the pacing, made for millennials, a never ending, never breathing, break neck pace full of sound and fury et al . I was also pretty mad at all of the stuff from my childhood 'used' like blunt instruments to try and illicit the feeling of a more quality product. The film makers thought to themselves that Ready Player One is a smoothie made out of lobster, wagyu beef, brie cheese and champagne, the finest foods there are, so it MUST taste good. No, it's crap and the simplicity of their thinking that having implicated good properties into this gunge somehow elevates it is embarrassing. Great if you like playing 'spot that stolen property', not very entertaining and I just found myself infuriated and wanted it to end.",2 I love sci-fi but I can't find any connection with the characters and the storyline is jut awful. The kids especially are super annoying. Bad acting and bad casting. I can't seem to understand Dr.Smiths motive. She seems like a confused villain. Gave up after the fifth episode. Only reason why I got this far cuz I spent most of my time on my phone and only looked up when there's dramatic sound effect. But that's about it and I dropped this show.,1 "Jon Watts doesn't understand Spider-Man. Spider-Man isn't supposed to be a hero relying on Iron Man's technology. These movies rely way too much on Iron Man and the MCU itself. It can't stand on it's own. This Spider-Man doesn't actually feel like Spider-Man. Spider-Man is supposed to be a hero who actually struggles, solves his own problems with his intellect and skill, and takes responsibility with consequences. Also, a MAJOR part of Spider-Man's character is supposed to be his relationship with Uncle Ben. The fact that Uncle Ben hasn't even been mentioned is really upsetting and kind of feels like a slap to the face for us Spider-Man fans. Instead, we've got Iron Man as Spider-Man's father figure and Iron Man just gives him gadgets rather than teaching him important lessons and how to take responsibility. I have it a 7 because it was at least enjoyable. Also, the villain was kind of ehh. This isn't Spider-Man. This is a kid in a high tech costume that just shares the same name.",4 "I honestly hope that this show gets gets 2nd Season, because it's that good.",10 One of the best of 2020 This movie is something you should definitely watch. A wonderful movie wonderful acting done by actors. Rajkumar Rao always like absolute fabulous. Pankaj Tripathi is also very good just like always but in a very new kind of role. Abhishek Bachchan just stole my heart. He made me cry in such comedy movie. Cinematography was osm. Anurag Basu has done a very good job also acting and directing. Dialogues were very good. Ultimately must watch for all. This will make you feel very good.,10 "So, I saw a few episodes, and they all so much running, even any basic discussions. Everyone is always in a hurry, constant drama, fights, something threatening everyone's future. It's like they know if they slow down it gets boring. They also have to sound smart, the story kinda makes sense, it's just everyone bossing around, and being impatient with everyone. It's literally feels like the actors were forced to hurry, because they was paid by seconds. The makeup is okay, but I think it's could be way better. Any talented make-up artist can pull this off. The special effects doesn't that bad, still feels kinda low budget. Most of the inside sets can be shooten anywhere, it's just feel like being in a hotel room, or in the bar on the corner, old storage unit/giant hardware store, but not in space. I don't think that the actors, and actresses ar bad, I think it's just written poorly in a hurry. It's pretty much basic crimi series with sci-fi mixed to make it more interesting, nerd-friendly, and also to be able to glue the Marvel logo on. I have no hate for sci-fi, or crimi, if it's well done. This isn't.",4 "i thought this movie might be fun from what i saw in previews, but it was much better than i expected. the action is often eyepopping with riffs from warner brothers toons and the matrix, but with a Chinese flair. there is a lot of imagination in the ways that each character uses their individual style of kung fu and many of the butt kickers are the least likely to go ""bruce lee"". there are many hysterical bits in this film and the characters are much easier to relate to than most kung fu films. don't let it's connection to ""crouching tiger hidden dragon"" fool you! this film is NEVER boring. it's the single best Chinese film i've EVER seen. you just have to see for yourself how much action and bellyache inducing laughs there are in this film. if you liked kung pow! enter the fist, you'll LOVE kung fu hustle. it's THE kung fu film that others will be compared to in the future. it's that great. this film is a blast. the only thing that kept me from giving it a 10 is that a couple scenes are a bit much and too intense. what happens to the little boy after he gets bullied is a bit extreme. otherwise, this film is a riot.",9 "Logan is an overlong X-Men spin off, the final part of the Wolverine trilogy. A cross country, western that marks the final days of the main X-Men characters. The story is based on Mark Millar's 'Old Man Logan' and it takes place in 2029 where mutants are almost extinct and the X-Men have disbanded. Logan works as a chauffeur in El Paso and his powers are weakening and he is ageing. He regularly crosses the border to Mexico where he looks after the infirmed Professor X (Patrick Stewart) whose powers are also waning and he is becoming senile and has erratic seizures. Logan is approached by a nurse for biotechnology company, Transigen, who wants Logan to escort her and an 11-year-old girl called Laura to a place in North Dakota called 'Eden.' Logan reluctantly accepts after he is offered lots of money, but the nurse is soon killed and Laura, Logan and Professor X are pursued by goons from Transigen. The company bred mutant children using the DNA samples of mutants. Laura has powers similar to that of Logan because she was created from his DNA. The film starts off really slowly and has pacing issues throughout the film, not helped by the length of the film. When the action arrives it is fast, furious and hard edged. This is the most violent X-Men film, ironic considering that one of the main character is a child.",5 "Started out interesting. Then they forgot their own character development and started changing people to be stupid. So many story lines and plot lines...that I couldn't even care about. Klaus, 5 and Pogo are the only characters I found myself being invested in. Then we got to the part where we started focusing so much on social agendas we forgot to have decent writing with cohesive plots and some sense of direction. Sad....",4 "There is no dispute on Vijay Anand being the de facto Master of Suspense/Thriller in Indian Cinema history. So when we have a movie that pays tribute to this master (starting from quite an obvious title), purists like me sit up and get ready to tear apart any failings. Consider the astonishment when the movie not only lives up to the name, but dignifies it! That this movie actually got made, and then received a wide-release is in itself a surprise - hardly are any studios or distributors in India who support movies that do not conform to the fabric of established norms of Bollywood. Yet we have this movie. Raghavan gives us a genuine film-noir that is so rare that it is easy to lose it in the mêlée of mediocrity that Bollywood blockbusters represent. An almost gray-scale visual theme with shocks of Red (very Sin City - nobody is innocent), no break-out sessions for song&dance and a crisp running time (135 minutes) alienates it from regular cinema. The movie revels in what it is, and religiously refers to the works it inspires from. Yet, and in doing so, it establishes a unique identity that would live through the said mêlée. The casting choices of the movie also make for a great ensemble, especially with the presence of Dharamendra, whose stature and age are also put to great use. Neil Nitin Mukesh makes his debut, and is already lost in the shadows while lights shine on other star-kids. Yet he plays the most daring and convincing maiden role to establish a sure-fire position on the ""to-be-watched"" list. Raghavan makes the most inherently ""cool"" movie of the year, complete in 60's retro garb of film-making (cinematography, editing, character focus, color grading) that fits right in with the film-noir subject. If not for the obvious anachronisms, this could easily have been a movie from the 60s, if not from the Master himself.",8 "I feel like I dodged a bullet. A nostalgic love letter to himself and his love of movies could have been too schmaltzy to bear in the hands of Steven Spielberg. But he shows admirable restraint and makes instead a film that any movie lover should be able to appreciate. It's way too long. Let's get that out of the way. I know this was a very personal story for him, and the relationship between his parents clearly had a formative effect on him and his art. But I frankly didn't care all that much about the marital woes of Steven Spielberg's parents, though it does give Michelle Williams a chance to shine in a lovely performance. No, what I came for, and what kept me engaged, were the scenes showing Spielberg's budding talents as a filmmaker, and also those showing the prejudice he faced for being Jewish in a homogenous California suburb. ""The Fabelmans"" also has maybe the best ending of any movie this year, and by itself is worth the price of admission. It also boasts perhaps the best and most random appearance of David Lynch in the history of movies. Grade: A.",8 "I mean, why? So much disappointment and confusion and bad effects and bad main characters. And no I won't compare it to the books. Because it is not as misleading. It's not bad but definitely not a good season.",6 Overall a great miniseries a mixture of today's parody pop culture tv and Wanda and vision chemistry was amazing,9 "Avatar, by James Cameron, is a movie about a human going to a habitable moon in a far away solar system to obtain a rare element found only there. Avatar had a huge amount of hype circulating around it due to the fact that James Cameron was created the mega hit Titanic. However, this film was subpar compared to Titanic. The plot was dull with some scenes putting move goers to sleep. However the high action animation of this movie shows that we are on the forefront of a new movie experience age. The Navi people were not given any expression and all looked very similar. This production of this movie is in the $300 billion and it shows in the final product. They action sequences and the moon are depicted in such vivid detail that one can assume they are actually real. Avatar does show moviegoers a new expertise of 3D making by allowing the audience to enter Pandora they. Overall this movie had a lot of hype and with a lot of hype it's always difficult to live up to expectations. Avatar was a disappointment when compared to the hype however it will show moviegoers a good time.",4 "The first few episodes are exceptional but it peters out a bit the longer the show progresses, never the less this is a quality show well worth your time.",7 A movie that can get every Indians blood boil.. the way the Pakistani terrorists keep attacking our soldiers.. it just makes you elated when India answers back so strategically and perfectly. Feels proud to be an Indian. And Modiji is an amazing Prime Minister who has led India during these times.,10 "I'm not a huge sci-fi fan to begin with, and I get that this movie was ""different"" than most other movies. I respect it for that reason, but Keanu Reeves is such an awful actor.",4 I'm not sure if it was intentional or just bad editing but at times it was really hard to follow and jumps from one time to another until you reached the end of the season when the timelines converge. I ended up watching it a second time and enjoyed it a lot more because I knew timelines and to pay closer attention. Henry Cavill did a great job as the Witcher and really made the show. I'm looking forward to season 2 but hope now that the timelines have merged that any flashbacks will be more obvious this time.,8 "Season 1 - 7/10 Season 2 - 6/10 Season 3 - 2/10 Season 3 is a totally disaster, is it a comedy? They trying so hard to make us laugh, but failed badly Nuff said",4 "I was very supportive of the show from the beginning...until about halfway through season two. From that point on, it was a study in decline. How unfortunate to have wasted all the potential.",4 "The show is about a gritty cop in a gritty town working on a gritty case. It could have been called ""Tru Grit"" if that wasn't already taken. Kate Winslet does a good job acting like a man, in fact, literally ......she's a guy. Her stoic decidedly un bubbly demeanor is totally old school hard nosed cop, except in prior generations they would have cast a man in the role. She is also more competent than most of the guys on the force, who include one that turns into a nervous nelly at the site of blood. Hollywood loves to shatter stereotypes, but you have to wonder if a childhood of seeing this stuff is a reason for so much gender dysphoria in today's unhappy and fluid world.?",6 "Ok, historically seen not all is correct, they don´t have Russian accents? and some info is missing. All true. But the sense of the situation, the era and the enormous difficulties they faced, I really understood. I was 20 years of age back then and had no clue, neither comprehension or interest in what was going on there. But still I do remember those days because in the back of my head I (apparently) knew something was well wrong. This is, more or less, the sense I got while watching the series. Something was well wrong, nobody told you so to avoid mass panic, so they all, east and west alike, decided to cover it up. This is what I felt while watching, a grey power struggle over something that could have ""influenced"" half the western world. I think it´s pretty well done and fairly close to the truth as we possibly can know it. And very happy about the absence of the accents because you either speak Russian or ...",9 "This movie is full of hinduphobic content, I request people to give it one star,",1 "Ruben Fleuscher's Venom has very stylish visuals and a great lead actor. Tom Hardy as Eddy, aka, Venom is, for me the saviour of this film, as the rest of the cast are just cut and paste of characters we have already seen in other comic book films. No one stands out, but Hardy. The plot is pretty interesting, but is executed in a very goofy fashion. The pacing, however, was quick and witted, which, at least made the time go quicker. But I really wanted this film to be more dark and horrfying. Even though it's rated R, it feels like a PG 13 film, heck, eveb a standard PG at times. I am looking forward to Sony's future projects, but for me, this is one I mat not re-watch.",5 I watched this movie in Chicago in a house full theater sitting on the second row and the entire hall clapped in unison at the end of the movie. Need I say more? (Going to say it regardless!). Vicky Kaushal is truly a treasure. Saying this doesnt take away anything from the rest of the cast who have done a brilliant job and have certainly stayed true to their characters. The plot makes you feel proud of your nation and is constantly keeping your heart rates up through a variety of emotions. This truly is a masterpiece and I hope I get to see more of this quality and not what bollywood has been feeding me through the 90s!,10 "After seeing this movie, I thought that this one was not excellent, but just as good as the first one. It continues where Iron Man 1 left off, and introduces plenty of new characters that die-hard comic book fans will know by heart. The action never stops. Plenty of good CGI. The soundtrack is classic rock by AC/DC and there's some laughs. Comparing it to that other super hero movie of the last decade is easy....it ain't no Dark Knight but is more like Superman II. Stay after the end credits for a bonus scene. This is the best superhero movie of 2010, period. Too bad Terence Howard doesn't do a good of a job as Don Cheadle.",7 "Tried watching episode 1 because of the hype but was disappointed. I was optimistic because it opened with a cinematic scene, but when I entered the main story all expectations were lost. First, the shaking camera is very ""TV"" and the color palette is similar to the TWD vibe. I thought it would be cinematic like Stranger Things. Second, the story is very slow and doesn't offer anything new, just a typical zombie apocalypse film. In the next episode, it's still the same, very TWD, so HBO. I like TWD but this is more like a spin-off of TWD. The same formula, the same color ambiance, shaking camera, with stories adapted from popular games.",4 "Yes, I've seen it and what a disappointment! As expected, the movie begins with desert villains (Arabs to be sure) and riding horses or camels (take your pick), then the stereotypes of evil vs. Evil-but-hey-it's-the-Westerner-kind-of-evil rolls out like a good old Big Mac and the tradition of the hollow hollywood American tradition. Nothing new, no sophistication, all formulaic to the letter; a shallow unbelievable script that only alcoholic teens can get absorbed in; a rebel hero with Superhuman powers; impossible gun fights with dozens of no-name villains slain, topped by the usual barrage of nonsensical screen noise you'd expect from Hollywood's mind-numbed directors and producers who copy/paste everything from the special-effects basement. It is no wonder that TV shows hav murdered the big screen! Thank you HBO.",2 "There are usually three special groups in the Marvel Universe, one: Avengers, two: The Defenders, and three: Agents of SHIELD. Maybe it can be said that after Avengers, agents of shield are the best group. Consisting of superheroes, inhumans, ordinary but skilled agents, which made it a good series. Events such as the return of characters after a period of absence or even death, presence in space and the existence of aliens, time travel, a world in the brain and numerous fights with Hydra made the series exciting. The positive point of the series was that the team sometimes broke up and formed again, and sometimes there were romantic relationships between the characters of the series. Most importantly, although there were many episodes in each season, the script and the series itself were so good that it did not cause fatigue.",9 Are you kidding?Just a b movie many?i am totally disappointed.Where is Tarantino?am I missing something?,4 "The rating was so high, I love romantic films, and I took my wife out. It was so long, it should've been can cut it by half at least. I was not getting connected to the characters. Lady Gaga performed better than the rest of the movie, but still not enough for deep empathy. The end of the story was even a bigger disappointment, leaving you with some sadness and bitter taste. Not what I looking for this time.",3 "I'm not a big super hero fan, but love the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and read that I needed to see a couple of Avengers movies before I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3,in order to be fully up to speed as to what had gone on in the intervening years. So, I watched Avengers Infinity War, and absolutely loved it, superb film that had me on the edge of my seat and I felt completely involved and was drained by the end of it. The next night I settled down to watch Avengers Endgame, and erm.. What the heck happened? I found this boring, choppy, confusing and way too long. I was constantly looking at the clock wondering how much longer was left of this borefest. There could have been 30 minutes easily removed from this film if not more. Then, in the last hour things improved and there was some excitement, but by then, it was too late to care. Oh well, at least I've got Guardians 3 to look forward to.",3 "I can honestly say, best movie I have seen this year. Comedy is genuinely funny. Great humor. Everyone's did their part best. Loved Rajkumar's character the most.",9 "With such a cast of characters, once can't help by being pulled into the movie at the start. It had great promise, and provided a nice alternative to the usual dreck spilling out of Hollywood these days. But as time progressed, it was impossible to stay connected to the happenings on the screen. Nonsensical plot twists, irrational logic, silly background music all provided distractions that made connecting with the characters and plot impossible. Not even the kids will understand what is happening, so prepare yourself to pause the movie frequently as you stumble through explanation after explanation. The ending seemed completely contrived and self-serving. As the film concluded I sat back and wished I had chosen a better use for 2+ hours of my life. It wasn't horrible, but it was pointless and a waste of time.",5 "I see the universal adulation this film has had, and there's much to admire. To my ears, though, it's sadly lacking in the one key element every musical needs: great songs. With the possible exception of ""Audition (The Fools Who Dream),"" there's not a memorable tune or soaring line to be found. It doesn't help that neither of the two leads has a strong singing voice, and as for dancing -- the steps are limited, and even within that scope, not particularly well-executed. Dancing, in a musical, has to be over-the-top good to carry the energy of the film. But the worst thing, really, is the lack of structure. Musicals are selective in the parts of the story that they take to build the three-act structure; the characters have to be established before we can care about them, have to face an obstacle so that we care more, and have to overcome it or die trying, at which point the big numbers come out. Here, we start with a big number -- the dance on the LA freeway -- but there's no reason for dancing as of yet. The love- not-at-first-sight motif is a good old one, but here it's so choppily presented that we're not sure whether we should care or not. It could be a slow-motion screwball comedy, or a musical revue punctuated by little life-dramas -- but to be a musical it must soar. This one is leaden, forced, and was painful for me to watch, despite much admirable production work and cinematography. After I got home, I watched ""Singin' in the Rain"" as an antidote, and felt much better. It's not impossible to revive the moribund musical genre -- it was done in 1981 with Pennies from Heaven, and several times over by Baz Luhrmann, who even managed to make some of his non- professional singing stars sound pretty darn good (see Moulin Rouge). But despite all the hype, this film, to me, felt like seeing an old friend imperfectly resurrected from the grave, with none of the old lively exuberance for which -- once upon a time -- he was known the world over.",3 "It's a good movie for children. When I saw the sinopse for the plot I expected them to explore more the idea of people escaping the reality to live in a virtual world, but this idea is not developed in the movie. Instead, it's just one more of those super boring and predictable plots in which there's a clear end goal since the start and the hero will chase after it during the whole move, fighting vilains and making allies along the path.In the end, there's gonna be some kind of morally correct happy ending in which the good defeats the evil. It's really that kind of story that we all know, the recipe is followed 100%, there's nothing new at all. The one thing that could have made this movie different was the idea I mentioned before, about ppl seeking to escape reality, but that is ignored so I am really disappointed. The acting is really bad, nothing is convincing. It doesn't make you enter that flow kind of state which happens when you're really into a movie. You just force yourself to finish the movie even though you're really bored and slightly annoyed for the bad quality of the plot and the acting. I would suggest anyone thinking of watching this movie to skip it and watch something else. Maybe children might enjoy it though, since they aren't aware of anything I mentioned above.",3 "I don't know why I'm one of the few that isn't a big fan of this show. I just finished watching all 10 episodes of the series and so far, there are only 2 episodes (episodes 8 & 9) that I liked. The cinematography was great but the only CGI effect that was believable was Pogo. Luther's ""hairy costume"" was way too obvious. It looked like it was made of styrofoam. The rest of the CGI was just way too upsetting. The story line was predictable. It was too vague. The only thing that got me hooked on this show was Ellen Page's acting the rest could have done better if their lines weren't too cliché. The overall concept of the story is actually great but the script plus the CGI was just not doing it for me. Would I say it was a waste of my time? Definitely. But kudos to Ellen Page's acting.",6 "What are you morons talking about? This movie is hilarious, from beginning to end! Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman do an amazing job. The kids are cute and funny as can be. The storyline is old but they did it masterfully with a twist of their own. Absolutely loved it, I've watched it 7 times already, lol. The part where he's in the boardroom floors me every time. If you love raunchy foul mouth comedy you will love it, If u are a prude with a stick up your ass u will hate it as much as u hate your miserable life! Sorry if I'm going off a bit but after reading the reviews I have to put these goody goody morons in their place. If u don't like raunchy comedy don't watch this R rated comedy and go watch Home Alone reruns!",10 "Don't get me wrong, the actors were nothing short of spectacular. But this fan club needs to stop for this director, an absolute boring mess. It's like you're personally trying to lengthen out every scene with useless information and just adding some cool cinematography over top. I wish I could of enjoyed it because there's nothing really fantastic going on in the movie world anymore. But hey what can I say I've never made a movie.",3 "I have seen 1.7 episodes of Wednesday at this point. It took me about one week, in three sittings, to watch the first one, and I fell asleep before the second one could end. I don't think I'll torture myself any further. I dislike this show on more than one level. Reason 1: I don't like teen drama, and this is bad teen drama. It's like the kids in Twilight went on a school trip to Hogwarts and brought their useless heart-throbs and jealousies with them. From the 10th minute of the first episode we get to know that the kids are not just humans and they belong to species that could rule the world but no... they go to school just for the sake of being a pain in each-other's back. Wednesday goes through all this wearing the same exact face for the whole time (again, like Bella in Twilight) and every once in a while she drops an aphorism that has already been a meme on the Internet for the past 10 years. Reason 2: This is not Wednesday Addams. I am a fan of the original series in black and white and I was already disappointed when Thing was made to walk around in the movies. The addams were always an eccentric family but they were depicted as humans. In this new show Vampires, Werewolves, Mermaids, Magic, etc... are dropped in the story cauldron on day one, removing any relatability between the characters and the audience. Even Wednesday has some magic power of sorts. Her moral compass keeps swinging. She is proud to be some sort of careless queen of death but then she tries to save someone for no specific reason. The characterisation is terrible and even the acting is not particualrly convincing. We are light-years away even from Christina Ricci's Wednesday. Reason 3: It's boring. The Addams Family was a fast witted show. Every second there would be a new thing to laugh for, something that would hilight the difference between the boring regular people (us) and the mentally free and self-indulgent Addams family. This new show is slow. Nothing happens. Apart from a few unremarkable jokes every now and then, there is no direct contrast between normal people and anyone living at the school. There is no fun in following ""detective Wednesday"" venturing around the Victorian rooms of this American Hogwarts. Reason 4: I am not American. While the original Addams family was just funny to watch regardless of one's background, this one is set in a rich American boarding school in which, obviously, most people in the world have never been. Secret societies, rowing competitions, houses... is stuff that is alien to most people, including me. Reason 5: There is no moral complexity here. Wednesday is immediately depicted as a rebellious teenager who wants to move away from her parents as much as possible. She is made to look like an outcast, but she is thrown in a school for outcasts where she is not an outcast anymore. Needless to say, the moment she meets a normal guy he's happy to help. Bottom line: are you a teenager and you want a modern version of Harry Potter set in a rich Americans' boarding school? You might like this show. If you ever in your life liked the Addams family, then avoid Wednesday.",4 "It is very disappointing that a Dhaka-centric film has been made but Dhaka has not been given any priority.That location is different enough from Bangladesh.And you will not find a ten years old boy with AK47 there and their militry, Elite force and police is trained enough. Excessive fight has made the hero a superhero which is unexpected. Overall well for entertainment.",6 "What can I say - I Love This Series! Watched the series when it first aired in the UK, currently watching again from the start. A welcome reprieve from all the WOKE rubbish currently being produced. Toxic masculinity at its height. ;-)",9 "I was hoping to feel impressed by this film. We all cherish the harry potter world I think because there are so many warming intricate details that make the story feel real. Fantastic beasts -in my opinion- however failed to be as inventive or as detailed it felt like the up-scaling had lost some of the intimacy and I didn't feel attached to any of the characters at all. I definitely feel that I would have rather the story happen on a smaller scale and that the the world within the film establish itself, because at times it felt negatively like a glossy block buster. I said I wouldn't get stuck on drawing comparisons BUT. The Philosophers Stone though. Even if I had an extraordinary amount hands I still wouldn't be able to count on my fingers how many times I have seen the 1st harry potter film. It is great! I wouldn't however, feel motivated to watch Fantastic Beasts again. I think the fist harry potter film is considerably better even though within this film there were no impressive graphics or big action sequences that the fantastic beasts film relies upon. The world we entered in the Philosophers stone feels magically absorbing and the pace of the narrative in the first half of the film gives us the space to to get to know the amazingly well written characters, as fans we are pleasantly convinced by all of it! I was expecting this same tone when I went to see fantastic beasts but I felt very alienated by the action in this film which wasn't inventive enough to justify itself. Watching Fantastic Beasts kind of felt like watching a friend become filthy rich and because of it loosing some sense of their personality. I also felt that some of the darker scenes with Credence and Graves wasn't developed so well. Both Farrell and Millar are amazing actors but something felt a bit off about the scenes. I don't disagree with the actual content being uncomfortable to watch as I like to be effected as an audience member in many different ways! I just felt it was executed a bit awkwardly and it could have been better. There are good things I could say of this film but they are obvious merits and I am not feeling motivated to detail them. Obviously costume - FAB. Set design - NAILED IT. The rain scene I thought was very touching and I liked Queenie Goldstein she was exquisite! I really don't want to neglect mentioning our Eddie but I don't have a lot to say because despite him being the only person who should play newt and doing a scrumptious job of the characterisation, I wasn't captivated by the story around him and so I feel unsure how I feel about his role within the film, but my love and admiration for Eddie remains undying!",5 "Black Mirror it's an English series absolutely actual, it's mostly a drama/sci-fi series and it's centered on the current or future problems of the western society. It's already on the third season but you have to consider that every episode it's a movie completely different between each other and without a common script. But every single episode it's able to bring you in that word and environment, every single episode is well written and well directed and the cast works great. It's one of the best series of the last years due this uniqueness. Since is treating and telling story and problems about the actual or near future society and the dark side of technology you have to consider that every single episode is a reflection and meditation starting point that most of the time can let the viewer with a sad sensation or let with a bitter taste. Absolutely a must to watch",9 "This is the best Marvel movie yet! Even if you're not a superhero fan, I still highly recommend this, because it doesn't feel like a superhero movie. Much like ""Winter Soldier"" it's more of a political thriller. It makes you think, and debate about accountability and other important issues, which is very unusual for a superhero film. It's not just mindless action. The action sequences, by the way, are some of the best I've seen in any superhero movie, Marvel or otherwise. They're choreographed so well. There's a lot that goes on, yet you never feel lost or overwhelmed during them. Up until this point, Andrew Garfield was my favorite actor to portray Spider-Man. Move over, Andrew Garfield. Newcomer Tom Holland has taken your spot. I was a bit skeptical when he showed up in the trailers because I thought he sounded way too young. But when he started throwing around one-liners in true Spider-Man fashion, all that doubt instantly went away. Fun fact: Tom Holland starred alongside Chris Hemsworth in ""In The Heart of the Sea,"" and it's because of Hemsworth's recommendation of Holland for the role of Spider-Man to Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios that Holland was cast in the role. Great choice, Chris Hemsworth! I'm excited to see what this young man has in store for the future. This was everything I wanted, and more. Every time I think ""Marvel can't possibly top this,"" they prove me wrong. But that's my worry. I'm worried that every Marvel film will try to outdo the predecessors by being bigger and better every time, until the MCU is eventually crushed by its own unattainable expectations. But until that day, I'll enjoy what the MCU has to offer. I expect great things from the next one: Doctor Strange. Great things, indeed. #TEAMCAP Grade: A+. 10/10. 5/5 stars",10 "It's all about good photography, good background music. where is storey? Where are dialogues ? Editor was never employed probably. Characters don't know why they are there and what they are doing. Heavy bombs don't decimate kinva of soldiers they just put them to sleep acting on beach ....Forget it. It's a bad cinema from a great director",5 "Throughout the years, Jeffrey Wright has popped up in many films that I have either liked or disliked, but I have always loved him. I feel that he does not get enough opportunities to lead a film on his own and for that reason alone, I was looking forward to American Fiction. While being a writer on television, Cord Jefferson also makes his feature film writing and directing debut here and that alone is awards-worthy. So much about this film came together nicely and I believe it is one of the very best films of 2023, along with many other people. Now playing in select theatres, here is why American Fiction is worth your time. In this very funny drama, Thelonious 'Monk' Ellison (Jeffrey Wright) is a superb author who just hasn't had the success he wishes he had (in sales). Completely annoyed about a new author in Sintara Golden (Issa Rae), due to the subject matter and the way the dialogue is written in her new book, he finds himself being a hypocrite and falling into fame and fortune, by acting as an uneducated writer and publishing a new book that ends up flying off the shelves. With the backdrop of a dead family member and his mother's deteriorating condition, very real family drama is also present. That description of American Fiction may not say that it is a comedy, but trust me, there are quite a few real laughs to be had. This film feels like a satire on our society and that was the brilliance of it. Jeffrey Wright deserves every bit of praise that his performance has been getting and it is quite honestly, probably his best performance, period. Aside from Wright though, the supporting cast does nothing but elevate his performance even further. Sterling K. Brown as his brother was terrific and their on-and-off relationship with each other felt very authentic to how real families behave. John Ortiz has his publisher garnered many laughs from me, but the best and absolute worst part about this film came down to the overall message, and Adam Brody as Wiley Valdespino brought it home. He portrays one of the worst kinds of people you have to deal with in today's society, all while thinking he's not that way at all. I loved and hated every second of his brief screen time. The performances from everyone involved were all fantastic. As I said though, I am truly blown away by the fact that director Cord Jefferson had only previously written episodes of television. This film seemed to have been made by a veteran director and writer. The script is the perfect amount of clever, funny, dark, and dramatic. I am sure it has a very small budget, so I can only imagine what Jefferson could accomplish on a larger scale. If this is just his first outing, I can not wait to see what he does next. American Fiction is one that many audiences can appreciate because I feel that it has a little something for everyone. If you can find a showing of it, I highly recommend giving this one a shot. It is not nearly getting the audience it deserves, so spread the word.",10 "GOOD MOVIE....... ..... SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE, PICTURISING IS GOOD,AND CINEMATOPAGRAPHY IS GOOD",4 "For the folks who gave up after episode 3 and then write a one star review - I was right there with you. But then I kept watching...and watching and ultimately I flat out loved this show. Yes the protagonist is shallow and irritating to begin with. That the point. The show is her journey towards that realistion (and the journey of another key character) that is told with tenderness and creativity. The script is incredible. The portrayal of NYC is beautiful and the performances are all stellar. I've never written a review on IMDb before but this just made me want to recommend the show to as many people as possible. Superb.",9 It was good most part of the movie and then it got silly and disappointing. Looks like somebody paid for the high ratings.,6 "I'll admit that when I first heard this was being made (and first saw the trailer) I thought it was a hilariously awful idea and the movie wouldn't be worth anything. The surprisingly positive reviews got me kind of excited for it, but now that I've seen it I feel I should have stuck to my original guns and just passed on it. With a real pro like Andy Serkis taking on the role of Caesar, the film is able to elicit quite a bit of emotional strength out of it's revolutionary ape. I found myself caring for him a lot, although this concern dwindled as the film progressed towards it's alarmingly anti-climatic conclusion. The main problem though is that they spent so much time developing Caesar that they forgot to do anything with the humans. Every single human is a dull one-dimensional set piece just designed to further the plot for Caesar, none of them being interesting in the least bit. It sure doesn't help that the actors are unanimously drab, from the sleep-walking James Franco down to the laughable Tom Felton. The action sequences in the final act were well done but they ended far too quickly and couldn't make up for the very dry experience that came for the hour and a half before it.",2 "Outstanding story writing, direction, cinematography & a brilliant star cast ! Should sweep all the awards this year ! Rare gem & a must watch !",9 "My Hero Academia: If you love shounen anime, you're definitely in the right place, but it's a matter of perspective. It has fights that are more tactically focused and keeps the audience on the edge of their seats, and it has great characters with some ridiculous powers. It has a broader perspective. The first season is an answer to the potential to be good, and that answer is yes. My Hero Academia 2: It's a fun, easy-to-watch show with a lot of potential and seems to be headed in the right direction. Regardless of what it may lack in story, setting, or characters, it still makes up for it in consistency and entertainment value. Not to mention, its excellent animation and sound. It is a feast for the eyes that is still worth seeing. My Hero Academia 3: I think it's safe to say that the momentum of this roller coaster won't stop for quite some time. Superhero shows often portray the characters exactly as they are: a symbol of justice and peace. While it continues to follow that concept, it has moments where it really capitalizes on the meaning of this ideology. With more episodes on the way in the future, I still have high hopes for this franchise. My Hero Academia 4: It has its flaws, one thing I think they will still have to work on is the transition. Other than that though, the OPs and EDs are as good as ever, the characters are still as funny as ever. And most importantly, you will have fun watching it! My Hero Academia 5: Honestly, there is nothing more to expand on. There's little to no driving force in its narrative, and the season wasn't entertaining either. The fifth installment was just a filler. If you skip season five, you won't miss a thing. At this point I just hope it continues to fall into darkness because the previous installments aren't much better.",8 "I expected it to be beautiful and I was hoping for a good scifi story. Unfortunately it was only about 10% scifi, the rest was family drama. Kids not doing what they are told, and the parents have to clean up the mess. Redundant bad guy story, seen it before. Feels like I have seen this story many times before. The actors were amazing and it was entertaining. There were geat and exciting battle scenes and beautiful visuals, but not feeling inspired in the end. I just feel like I watched a pretty movie with beautiful blue creatures. I was hoping for more scifi and a deeper and more meaningful story.",4 "Some friends freaking out that I went to see Barbie lol I mean I mentioned I went coz my sister insisted since ages. Anyway the movie was bad. These days, every other director and producer wants to convey messages about women rights and feminism through whatever platform possible and this movie was a perfect example of that with sheer cringe to convey all that. I wished I had gotten the ticket for Oppenheimer in the same timings as my sister's Barbie show. Other than that, the acting done by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling was great so can't take that away from them. They did justice to their roles.",6 "What a movie! A must watch. Best of 2020. Anurag Basu has done it again. I was so frustrated with much hyped Laxmi, but equally impressed about this movie. Four different stories cross each other by extraordinary chain of events. Pankaj Tripathi is hilarious, outstanding as usual. I have now become fan of him. Rajkumar Rao, Aditya Kapur, Abhishek Bacchan have done descent job. Few small characters also made their presence felt. But real hero (or heroine) of the movie is Storyline. It makes you laugh, cry and remain hooked to your seat (or bed!). At least two songs are really very soothing (my personal favourite is Arijit Singh's ""Aabad Barbaad"". Worth watching over Diwali weekend. But due to its adult content (though very few) is not suitable for all in the family, it's so unfortunate. 8/10 from me.",8 "I got really thrilled by it when I watched the 1st season, but now I just finished to watch the 2nd and I'm like: can I get a time refund? No thrill, no apex moment, nothing, just a bunch of councils, dramas and less magic, power. It became political, full of politically correct quotes. They just ruined it.",5 "Was thinking wow this is slow, but maybe it's going somewhere. Winslet's studied accent and body language were very convincing. But then, without warning, Mr. Memento, Mr. Prometheus, Mr. Without Remorse turns up. The Angel Of The Kiss Of Death Of Artistic Credibility sprays his hideously badly practiced accent, rudimentary acting chops and apalling filmographic history all over the show. And, oh yeah, that's right. It's HBO... NOW it all comes together. This is going to just be a tedious drama with bits and piece of murder mystery stuffed into the gaps. That goes on. And on. And on. With all these gushing 9 and 10 reviews that appear now that every single studio marketing department on the planet has discovered how to bulk buy IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic review. Nope. Can't do it to myself. Got better things to do and better things to watch. Thanks Guy! You are a reliable indicator. We should nickname you The Canary.",1 "In my opinion the worst Tarentino movie. Was bored at first, But ofcause gave it a chance since Its Quintin....2 hours later i had to give up. Was just a waste of time. Was not entertained at Any moment.",2 "Having just come home from this movie at a night-premiere near where I live, I decided to write a review about a movie I had thoroughly mixed feelings about. You see, on one hand I really do think they put in most of the important events from the book (in contrast with some of the previous Harry Potter movies) and the effects were definitely great, as was the acting. But on the other hand, I couldn't help thinking how boring it was. At some points during this movie, when all the action stopped and I actually felt like I was wasting my time with this, I thought: Well this is bloody awful! But then of course, something funny happened. And that seemed to be what saved this movie. Humor. Not the action, not the effects (even though they were great) but the humor. I don't think I've ever laughed this much during a Harry Potter movie, and I think I wasn't the only one. Honestly it felt more like a comedy mixed with some startling moments and a little bit of action, heavily based on what was probably the most gloomy book of them all. And that is why I think this movie, although probably the best in the series so far, was also quite boring (at times) and thus not a particularly good feeling. Do how-ever take note that most of the people I saw it with didn't agree with me at all, so don't be discouraged to see it. Just don't go in with your expectations too high or you might be let down. And I don't think anyone wants that.",5 Modern day version of Hercules legendary journeys. Although that was more believable,5 Movie is fantastic. Every one should watch this. It shows the reality of the society. Subject is handled with care and one can realise this after watching this movie.,10 "Midway through the third installment of Walt Disney's deliriously popular pirate franchise, a character says of Capt. Jack Sparrow (played by Johnnny Depp in what now has to qualify as one of the weirdest characterizations in screen history), ""Is he making this up as he goes along?"" Shiver me timbers, mateys, but one has to ask director Gore Verbinski and his team of wranglers, er, writers, the same question of the entire series. I did not fall in love like so many others with the first film in the trilogy, ""The Curse of the Black Pearl,"" but I saw its appeal. It was far too long and sloppy, criticisms that have been leveled at parts two and three but which apply to the first movie as well. I can't even really remember the plot. It has something to do with Sparrow's beloved ship, the Black Pearl, being stolen from him by the rival pirate captain Barbossa (the marvelous Geoffrey Rush, bringing some obligatory British class to the proceedings) and his army of undead, and Sparrow's efforts, along with that most boring pair of screen lovers, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom, to get it back. Depending on your perspective, that plot summary either wraps it up or barely scratches the surface, because ""Pirates"" is stuffed with more subplots than it can handle. Never has so much plot been shoe-horned into a movie (or trilogy of movies) and so much of it not mattered a bit. It turns out that Sparrow is actually undead himself, and some sort of curse need be broken if he is to regain his mortality. Well, it's not ruining anything to tell you that the curse is indeed broken, and loose ends are wrapped up while everything's left conveniently open for a sequel. That sequel, ""Dead Man's Chest,"" takes everything that is charming about the first episode and pushes it past the limits of the audience's endurance. What a gormless mess the second part is, all furious action and racing around with absolutely no attempt made at coherence. A tremendous amount of plot exposition occurs in this installment. Indeed, the whole film is really set up for part three, yet at the same time is paced as if the entire movie is one long climax. Our consolation is that Bill Nighy makes his first appearance as Davy Jones (no, not the Monkey), looking like a serving of very angry calamari, and taking up the classy British slack that Rush left behind at the end of Part I. ""Dead Man's Chest"" makes no sense whatsoever, and it's not really even very fun. Even in a mindless action movie, one likes to have a vague idea of what all the fuss is about. So it pleases me to report that the third and (maybe?) final entry, ""At World's End,"" gets more right than not, and provides a tremendous amount of fun. It doesn't even feel overly long, despite its run time of nearly three hours. The ""Pirates"" movies' saving grace is the cast the filmmakers have assembled, and there are moments in this film, when the cast is all together at the same time, that rival ""Star Wars"" for sheer screen chemistry. Rush returns, so we get to enjoy both him and Nighy, and of course Johnny Depp is back, and returns to the inspired performance (and surpasses the downright nuttiness) that made the first installment so memorable. Chow-Yun Fat is this episode's most significant addition, but let's not dwell on him or the embarrassing Asian stereotype he hauls along behind him. There's a huge amount of jokey humour in this segment, perhaps the most in the series, which helps it succeed in becoming what one sensed it wanted to become all along -- a sort of Indiana Jones set on water. My prayers that the pre-pubescent Orlando Bloom would be killed off looked as if they might have a chance of being answered for a brief moment, until the writers cruelly resurrected him as a swarthy pirate captain and give him a dramatic entrance that gave me the biggest (if most unintentional) belly laugh of them all. Why is it that despite his swishing and mincing, Depp still gives the impression that he could kick Bloom's ass? The ""Pirates"" trilogy will not go down as classics of the genre, but they'll be remembered for wedging themselves firmly in the consciousness of movie-going America. Grade: ""Curse of the Black Pearl"": B ""Dead Man's Chest"": C- ""At World's End"": A-",6 "Now don't get me wrong - I loved this movie. Francis Ford Coppolla, again, delivered a gripping drama. Al Pacino is real, honest and we are always wondering about what he's thinking about. Robert Duval plays it straight and honest. Until I saw Mr. Duval's other works, I didn't realize what a great job he did in this. John Cazale delivers a really fine performance. It was a great loss when this great actor passed away. The rest of the cast were just great! I do feel that it sort of followed the formula of the first Godfather (one of my all time favorites). Especiaily in the end where everything is ""wrapped up."" Maybe, because it didn't have the novelty of Godfather 1, that is why I wasn't as taken in by it. As usual the music and production design and camera work were all fantastic. All of this said, Godfather II is one of our great movies. I have been waiting for Mr. Coppola to give us more films like the movies he made in the 70s, such as the first two Godfathers, the Conversation, Appocolypse, etc.",8 The acting and the storyline of this movie is just amazing. Bollywood need more movies like this kind of movie. I will recommand all of you watch this movie.,8 An extremely fun and quality series that only continued to get better and more captivating as it went along. Agent's of SHIELD will definitely go down as one of the best shows to come out of the MCU.,9 I spent 1 hour and so on theat movie and I didn't get scared not even once. It seems like a boring teenage movie.,1 "This show is like a train wreck, it's boring to watch but you know it crashes at the end so you watch to see when and how the crash happens. The script is simply awful, the direction just as bad. Amanda Seyfried is a talented Oscar-nominated actress, but here is the victim of the lousy script and inept direction. Another talented actor, Willian H Macy is also over the top with his role, again probably due to poor direction. The only compelling acting is by Camryn Mi-young Kim as whistleblower Erika Cheung, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the WSJ journalist John Carreyrou, and to a lesser extent Dylan Minnette as Tyler Schultz. The real Elizabeth Holmes is scheduled to be sentenced Sept 26 after her conviction on four counts of wire fraud, so we can then see how the real story ends. (Sunny Balwani's trial is ongoing as of April 2022).",2 I really like the character of Miss Harmon very strong character but don't like her attitude and Anya Taylor Joy played it so well. This miniseries had told us the imperfections of a perfect chess' player.,8 "Neeraj Pandey has directed 3 movies as of 2015 and all of them have been thrillers. Special 26 is no exception and it is based on a real life robbery that took place in Opera House, Mumbai in 1987. A trademark of Neeraj Pandey's movies is the brilliant cinematography which makes the visuals exceptional. As the movie is set in 1987, the filmmakers have made a lot of effort to recreate that era and it can be seen in the production design. The movie tends to veer towards the direction of typical Bollywood movies but for the most part it is a taut thriller with solid acting performances. Manoj Bajpayee is the pick of the actors and he is authoritative as the CBI officer. My overall impression of the movie is positive and it is definitely recommended.",8 "Despite the film's tone being a mixed bag and the storyline being a little difficult to follow, there are some very praise-worthy elements. There are great performances and James Newton Howard has composed one of his best scores in a very long time. I've been a fan of his for quite some time and his msic here is gorgeous. There are certain scenes and particularly the openingthat feel so enthralling and a lot of it has to do with his score. Red Sparrow is frustarating film. I would say that I liked half of it and the other half I had a difficult time grasping. And not because it was confusing, it's just that the film builts a fence around it until the final moments, where you can't really get in. You're just watching something that looks and sound beautiful.",5 "A show with good acting, superb score, but lacking heavily in the screenplay section. As such, it fails to completely deliver and I found just 2 episodes deserving an 8. Looking at the ratings, it definitely is overhyped, but what can you do when someone's hormones are off the chart; Nothing wrong with that and enthusiasm is a very powerful force; Age will cool it down, though. They managed to produce a much smoother last episode and looking at that ending, season 2 is well-deserved and hopefully will remedy to the writing section in a much more positive way. *What I found the best in the series was its superb score and music. Kudos Natalie Holt!",7 "...I love the premise of 'Lost in Space', from the 60's original series through the 90's Film to this iteration,(...the original series was my earliest TV Memory when John Robinson and Don West were in their Chariot being confronted by a one-eyed Giant on a rocky planet....absolutely terrifying at the time,from what I saw from behind the settee,Ha ha!!..),which I found,ultimate,very satisfying. Ok, they 'updated' the cast members as is the modern want but everyone was very good for me though Will and Penny were the standout's. Ok,I've seen reviews where people were bemoaning the daft decisions that the Family made. There were a lot of them but I feel they kept things moving nicely along. The effects were uniformly excellent,cinema quality in fact. Add an absorbing twisty and turny story and I found it a fun,enjoyable series's. I nearly forgot to mention The Robot which was a work of Art and his relationship with Boy Genius Will was often very touching and always watchable. I would love to see more like this. Great Stuff.......... ........ I've just noticed my mistake,although all the child actors were good,it was Will and Judy ,(..not Penny..),who really stood out,I felt.",8 "This is insultingly bad from a physics and logic point of view. That system cannot exist. The physics explanation is hard(er) but the logical one is easy. Let's even ignore you'd have to input every atom and particle with precise characteristics at Planck precision at the same time. Suppose you could. Still an easy defeat: make a machine that makes world-altering decisions (market trades, company promotions etc.) based on the brightness of an oscillating star. Can the system predict it, as ""deterministic"" as it may be, without even having the input data? (i.e. every molecule of that star's system) (please note there is no spoiler here - no twist revealed, nothing on characters etc.) This lack of logic translates further into the show, in the characters' decisions etc. but I'll let you find that out on your own.",3 "I expected more with all the hype. The opening scene was slightly creepy. After it was over, my 8.5yr old daughter said ""it made no sense!"" I'm particularly glad that when the male and female sexual parts (pen. And vag.) and gonad were mentioned in the same sentence that she did not ask us what that meant. I know it's PG-13 but this was marketed to kids and you know it. 13 year olds don't play with Barbie's! It seemed like a movie-long, gimmicky commercial for Mattel to sell more Barbie merch. The costumes were lovely. It was never shown how they transitioned in and out from some other worldly Barbie land onto earth. It was not for us and my daughter loves fashion design. She takes scraps of fabric and wraps clothes on her Barbies. So she likes them and this movie was a let-down for her.",4 "What an epic movie. Everything is perfect it's perfect....perfect!!. The chemistry between Hrx and Aishwarya is beyond imagination just wow, and their acting was soo perfect. Every scene is soo properly executed. I mean literally we can see their handwork and effort in every frame. So huge respect to whole entire team. IDK how they manage to do that.",10 "brilliant brilliant movie..i cant put my finger on any one element in this movie that did the job..the acting was good, so was the plot and the locations, but it definitely wasn't one of those. The ambiance just worked perfectly, and the choice of cast was beyond brilliant. Deol has made a habit of working in the best movies of late. For a change, this is an Indian movie that is completely de-spiced and brought right back down to earth where the majority of the Indian populace finds itself. The debutante leading ladies do fabulously well, and the movie has this air of class about it..quite like a Tarantino flick. Regardless, Masand in his reviews for ibnlive criticizes Anurag kashyap's take on devdas. Masand is a mindless worshipper of icons and idols, and it wont be until kashyap has a temple named after him that Masand will consider pandering and kissing his ass.",10 "In fairness, the book was too, but the TV adaptation isn't a patch on Mr Mercedes. It's slow, it's dull, it's badly miscast. The lead detective isn't Bill Hodges, as he's died in the books, but the new character/actor doesn't have an ounce of Brendan Gleason's charisma or stage presence. He's almost like the invisible man. Or John Major. And as for Holly Gibney.... Dreadful! Justine Lupe was perfect as Holly, why they didn't cast her as Holly, in this too, amazes me. I'm half way through episode five. If this one is as boring as episodes three and four, I'll be calling it a day",5 "An American espionage thriller; A story about a young Russian woman who begins work as a spy to entrap a CIA operative after undergoing special training. The theme of the film is about trading one's way of life for a better one with the risk that it may never be realised. In this film seduction, sadism, excessive violence, nudity, torture, and perversion feathers the narrative, pushing the boundaries of graphic portrayal. Lawrence's performance has a consistency of toughness which rarely falters, a compelling iciness which makes her watchable. The viewer will be intrigued by which direction her Russian spy takes at different stages of the plot. However, one of the film's flaws is believability. Many of the characters seem stereotypical and it is hard to believe any secret service would have someone who could be known to the public carry out field operations when real spies are anonymous faces in a crowd. But, it looks slick and it doesn't overstay its welcome.",5 "It was somewhat funny at the beginning with the interplay of conversations between Steve Martin and Martin Short and its amusing premise. In fact I signed up for hulu specifically to watch it as it was well publicized, anticipating something really good and funny. The monotone gravely (or is it nasal voice) of Selena Gomez with her flat, expressionless face (was that supposed to be funny?) and her character to me add nothing to the series. I don't find her the least bit interesting or amusing. (I guess one should give her credit for at least having lips that moved.). I quite enjoyed the first week's episodes. They were somewhat amusing and Martin Short occasionally said something that made me laugh out loud, but by the second group of episodes it just got both really complicated and really boring at the same time. I think when the Selena Gomez's mother starts speaking and going on about her daughter..(won't give any further details of the 'plot' except to say it was in New Jersey or was it Long island?) ...it just got unbearably boring and lost me. Given that Only Murders in the Buildling seems to have gotten ""rave reviews"" from both critics and viewers to me it is actually a bit of an Emperor has no Clothes situation. I don't see it deserving 5 stars. It certainly is being well promoted, yet it seems highly over-rated. Perhaps this is occurring because audiences love the actors so much and are expecting great things from them, so they dub it 'great' and are in a sense blinded by their expectations. It's working really hard to be funny and clever...but for me really just petered out and became more like an amateur high school creative play writing attempt. My perception is that it went so downhill in terms of script and even the acting of the secondary characters to the point I stopped watching it all together. Compared to the recent series ""The White Lotus"", which was well written and very funny, this just seems disappointing.",2 "I'm a qt fan so it's sad that i have to write this but a lack of comedy,drama or suspense and no plot made this difficult viewing. acting and screenplay were excellent(hence the 4 stars)but found it boring for the most part and truly can't understand why there are so many 9 and 10 star ratings!",4 "This movie is approximately 90% drama, then some Si-Fi, and a little bit of action. The drama is not that interesting, and mostly boring at the time. It later on turns out that it has it's purpose in explaining events that happens later in the movie, but it is still boring at the time. The action is far from good enough or enough of to save the movie, and the Si-Fi part is completely illogical. I see some reviewers describe this as ""refreshing"" or similarly, but then you will need to accept logic that goes something like this: Things that will never happen, happens, and things that never can have happened have happened... And by the way: Time goes in circles, so things do not happen as they do, but differently... ""Star Trek"", ""Terminator"", ""Back to the Future"", ""The Butterfly Effect"", even ""Futurama"" and so on have handled time travel in a much more ""realistic"" and intelligent way than this movie. This movie have a completely different approach to time travel than anything that I have seen before, and not in a good way. It tries to hard to be different but stumbles due to the lack of logic and a boring history to create the backdrop for the events in the movie. If you accept completely illogical stories like for example the one in ""The Tomorrow War"", you might like this movie, but if you have a logical sense and can not turn it off, you might, and perhaps even probably will mislike it.",3 "The original 1986 Dragon Ball series is a classic anime that kickstarted the long-running franchise loved by fans worldwide. With its charming characters, action-packed storytelling, and a sense of whimsical adventure, Dragon Ball captured the hearts of many. While the series has its strengths, it also shows signs of age and pacing issues, earning a rating of 7/10. One of the standout aspects of the 1986 Dragon Ball is its engaging and imaginative storyline. Following the young Goku's quest for the Dragon Balls, the show takes viewers on a thrilling adventure filled with martial arts tournaments, fantastical creatures, and epic battles. The narrative manages to strike a balance between light-hearted comedy and high-stakes action, making it a captivating watch for both children and adults. The series also introduces a colorful cast of characters, each with their own distinct personalities and motivations. Goku's naivety and pure-heartedness, combined with the mischievousness of characters like Bulma and the eccentricity of Master Roshi, create a dynamic ensemble that keeps viewers invested. The character development throughout the series adds depth and emotional resonance to the overall story. Moreover, the martial arts theme in Dragon Ball is a major strength of the series. The intense training regimens, unique fighting techniques, and epic battles showcase the mastery of martial arts in a way that captivates the audience. The choreography of the fight scenes is often well-executed, adding a sense of excitement and spectacle to the show. However, the 1986 Dragon Ball does exhibit some pacing issues. At times, the story feels stretched, with episodes dedicated to filler content that slows down the overall progression. This can test the patience of viewers who are eager for the plot to move forward. Additionally, some arcs and subplots lack the depth and complexity found in later iterations of the Dragon Ball franchise. Another aspect that may be off-putting for some viewers is the animation quality, which shows signs of its age. The visuals, while charming and nostalgic, may not meet the expectations of those accustomed to more modern animation standards. The art style can also be inconsistent at times, with varying levels of detail and fluidity. Furthermore, Dragon Ball's humor, while often amusing, occasionally relies on repetitive gags and juvenile jokes. This can detract from the overall maturity of the series and may not resonate as strongly with older audiences. However, it is worth noting that these elements are in line with the show's target demographic at the time of its release. In conclusion, the 1986 Dragon Ball remains a classic anime that paved the way for a beloved franchise. Its engaging storyline, memorable characters, and martial arts theme continue to captivate fans. However, the series does suffer from pacing issues, dated animation, and some repetitive humor. Despite these shortcomings, the 1986 Dragon Ball remains a nostalgic and entertaining adventure that earns a solid 7/10 rating.",7 "A major disappointment. A very slow movie and the actors tried to be like the 1970s movie to no avail. I turned it off half way through. I think Lady Gaga should stick with singing and not acting. I also thought Shallow would have being sung towards the end of the movie, as it is a great song. The movie just didn't captivate me at all. I rather watch a good Aussie DVD.",2 "This is a late review about the movie, DEV.D though I watched it on 2nd day from its release date. I don't find any cons in the movie but I happened to notice many people leave at the interval or before the movie ended. Interpretation will differ from people to people and may be they felt embarrassed watching with family. They were smaller part of the audience and many seemed to enjoy with joyous and surprising comments at every turn. When I got out of theater, I felt like sedated. DEV.D is filled with liquor scenes and we can smell the taste of it on every reel so are the gals who are intoxicating. It set new trend by discussing sex so blatantly. The ""F""-word and ""Slut"" are spilled all over the film. After watching so many movies we can easily expect the forth coming scenes. DEV.D stands out there as a unique, unforeseen, impressive, spectacular and matchless surpassing entire film industry. The movie poster says like ""Contemporary classic"" – a true statement. I wish to watch it again that's what I said to my friend after coming out of the movie hall. The theatre manager/owner is my friend's father so I know all of them working at the hall as I am a regular. He seemed to get negative replies from others and got surprised when I said this is the excellent movie I watched so far. Even after showing unconditional love towards dev, paro gets ditched, the unfortunate moment where we will feel sad as if it hurt you. Your heart would crave to tell the truth to Dev about paro.. but goes in vain. The meaning for contemporary lies in showing paro's sexual desires where she is ready to do anything like taking nude pics for love, showing affection towards dev even after her marriage observing his condition, MMS scandals on chanda, chanda's part time studies or sex working(I think both are part time), Atlast Dev realizes he is a slut as enlighten by chanda that he never loved paro.. etc., we can go on praising at every scene.. Modern day devdas fits the bill perfectly. kudos to Anurag Kashyap and Abhay Deol who dared to take such a movie in India. So overall I give a standing ovation and suggest people who are willing to explore new phase of love or movie definitely watch DEV.D",10 "Parasite is in my opinion a very Korean movie. What do I mean with that? Well, I will get into that late, but firstly; it was directed by Bong Joon-ho, who is best known for his English language movies ""Snowpiercer"" and ""Okja"". Both movies while being overall pretty overdramatic and simple, they at least try to have an atmosphere. They also have a clear message, which however show a very naïve perspective on reality. Even his previous Korean language movies like ""mother"" and ""the host"" are very similar in that fashion. ""Parasite"" however doesn't really show much of that regard. Neither does it have a clear message nor any sort of atmosphere, which in my opinion is very reminiscent of many of the Korean movies I have seen (with the exception of the masterpieces ""Burning"" and ""April snow""). ""Parasite"" however does have an interesting idea behind it which makes it in my opinion the most bearable of the Bong movies. But that's the only thing good about the movie however, maybe besides the production value. The movie has nice set design and has some good shots in it. It is lacking in many other departments however. The characters, for example are terribly written. They are basically shallow and in some cases only 1 dimensional exaggeration of a single character drope making the movie sometimes feeling dragging and boring, because of its focus on the characters. The soundtrack is lacking with only a few classical pieces and they are not really well placed in the movie in order to create atmosphere, often time being played behind dialog conflicting with the exposition scenes (which shows that the production value wasn't well spend in all places). The acting is decent, considering the director. Nothing bad, but also nothing extraordinary. The story consists of many plot conveniences and a lot of shock factor which ruins the whole idea behind it and makes it very confusing. So overall I would say this movie was pretty mediocre, that's why I said its pretty Korean. It had a nice idea but doesn't do much with it and only uses it for shock value. It has very uninteresting character and sometimes feels very boring because of it. It is ultimately a very forgettable movie and the only reason I will probably remember it is because it is overhyped by many (kinda like the Korean movie ""Oldboy"")",5 "Some of us aren't a fan of action movies especially the one that requires a deep level of knowledge about the main super hero or villain with an unfamiliar background for us to fully understand the concept. ""The Winter Soldier"" might be an exception. It is a sequel that showcases the challenging life of defrosted Steve Rogers, aka Captain America in the modern world after 50 years of time skip. Based on the movie, I don't think it is mandatory to watch ""The First Avenger"" to enjoy ""The Winter Soldier"" as I am satisfied with the majority of contents despite not being able to vividly remember everything that happened in the first one. The fast-paced battle scenes that keep the audience's in awe along with feisty one-on-one and group combats that are highlighted by an eye-popping Captain's shield control, nifty movements of Black Widow and an array of high-end aircraft along with Falcon's acrobatic move take me by surprise. Of course, it would be wrong to judge the film solely on actions. Yes, this film does have a decent amount of storytelling and intriguing twists that explain the protagonist's past and villain's true colors. There are also nicely arranged humors with a bit of cliché. They pan out because they are used by the right cast in a timely fashion. Again, even if you are unfamiliar with the Marvel comics or the Captain America, no sweat and watch as this film succeeds in unleashing the greatness of Russo. brothers and it is the epitome of action movies.",10 "Ultimate boredom and waste of time. Flat story without twists and lack of character development, this movie is highly overrated, its ridiculous how many fanboys and fake reviews giving it a 9 or 10.",2 "For starters, Netflix produces amazing shows. And this production is great. Except for the fact that they are calling it the Witcher. My first encounter with the Witcher was with the video game and have had the novels on my todo list for quite some time. I just so happened to watch this series before I started the books and truly enjoyed it the first time through. Now after diving head first into the narrative that is the Witcher it is abundantly clear what a disaster and how much they have butchered the story. With the resources that Netflix have, how can they seriously call this The Witcher. What I come to conclude is that Netflix wanted something to ""compete"" with game of thrones, and themed it after the Witcher. Also I can't forget to mention the cast, and no disrespect to who they did choose. But there is at least half a dozen actors the look like the actual Witcher and same goes for yenefer and triss. The triss pick is absolutely wrong. She looks nothing at all like the character.",1 "I had very high expectations for this movie, after seeing that it got > 8.5/10 on Rotten Tomatoes.

Bryan Fuller brings the characters created by Thomas Harris onto the TV screen. I love this show from the very beginning. The first season is part police procedural and part disturbing psycho drama. Mads is fearfully intense. Hugh Dancy is compelling damaged goods. It's visually stunning. Dead bodies have never looked so beautiful. That's not to say that everything ran smoothly. The slow moody scenes take some getting used to. I still think the psychotherapy scenes with Hannibal are too static. The dialogue couldn't make up for its slow flat tone. By the second season, the show settles into the beauty of the violence and the darkness of the psychological warfare. The show breaks new ground especially for network TV.",9 "Incredibly Overrated If you think you are going to watch something like a great movie like Parasite, you are wrong This is a directorial show, as if the two directors were waving their hands to Marv and saying, ""Look, we're good at this.""

One of them was the Iron Man animated series. I must say that even if I didn't love it, I used to watch it a lot. Well since we now are living in the ""cartoon/other movie to a new film era"" it was more than expected to see this in a live action flick. The plot was as expected as the transition from animated series to live action movie at least. I thought it was really mediocre and cliché filled. Well that is what sells the most. But I particularly don't like that in a movie. So when people tell me that this movie is really great, I can't believe them. The main character was the typical winner, know it all, who always do the right things and never is wrong superhero (That happens when Dr. House wants to be a superhero, or in every Steven Seagal film). This was the stereotyped main character that some movies tried to eradicate (The Dark Knight or the Matrix for example). So how can we see them again? I don't know the reason but I think that many people are just tired of them like me. The acting was average. But I particularly don't like Downey. He barely even acts. In the past few years he only played as an alcoholic, troubled man. In this movie he's a winner also. It seems like an attempt of using only his looks to attract movie goers, because the talent is almost non-existence. Another point that I would like to mention is the incredible amount of sexism in this film. Women are objects for the main character, even his secretary was part of this (At first I thought she had a little bit of dignity). Is that the kind of hero we want? I certainly do not The character from the comic book itself wasn't that good, I think that Iron Man is the worst ""serious"" superhero out there. Some people will disagree with me but to me this movie is just more of what we have seen a million times before, just with better effects.",3 "I saw the Godfather I a week ago and now I wanted to see the sequel. I've never seen a sequel as good as the original. But this is one. In the first film, I thought Marlon Brando was marvelous as Vito Corleone. That part was this time for Robert De Niro. He did it even better. This movie must be made by the best crew in the whole world.",10 "PROS: -Black Panther -Action scenes -Fights choreography -First 20 minutes -A conflict well raised -Downey and Evans performs -Peter Parker (all of him) / Spiderman (eyes, attitude and fighting style) -Falcon -Deepening of characters like Wanda, Vision, Falcon -Final Fight ...just brutal -A bit more polished jokes (sometimes) -Comic references CONS: -Ant Man (Not him, since he delivers very good funny scenes and an epic scene) but it feels that he was wasted in the film and the way he was integrated into The Avengers has no sense. -Out of place jokes -No deepening in Steve Rogers -Steve and Sharon Carter romance, had not sense, literally -Bucky as the emotional conflict cause -Spiderman (his costume concept is great but not the material, nor the CGI, I wouldn't surprised if in Spiderman Home Coming we see him with a different costume) -The lack of providing a real motivation to the characters to want TO BE INVOLVED a WAR - ""WAR"" in the title is way too big but the comic essence remains -This movie should be: ""Avengers: CIVIL WAR"" and not ""Captain America: CIVIL WAR"" since there are times where the Captain is a hindrance in his own movie -Film is too long with no reason. The movie is good but those critics about it's ""the best superhero movie"" or ""Superb!"" or ""Perfect!"" well, it's too much and an exaggeration.

Superbad isn't a terrible movie, but it's essentially a more profane American Pie with less nudity. Rogen appears as the same character in the other two movies, but with a different occupation, this time a cop. Michael Cera (George Michael from Arrested Development) is the standout in the movie, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse is appealing as a character somewhat similar to the MILF guy from American Pie. Jonah Hill, an Apatow regular, does his best to try and one-up Seann William Scott in the annoying category. The amount of profanity in this movie doesn't bother me, though it is probably excessive for the average movie fan, but the plot offers absolutely nothing new, and if you've seen the previews, you've seen (edited versions of) all the jokes. I was hoping this would be an improvement over the quality of comedies that have been successes lately (i.e. I Know Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Wedding Crashers), and it probably is, but only slightly.",6 "I'm so sick of the multiverse plot.

So please find that this review has no shouts of the film being racist, anti-Iranian, anti this and anti that I only wish that people reading this review do not take into account some other reviewers offering reviews biased on their political and religious opinion. Just review the chuffing film. please",6 "Francis Ford Coppola once said that to make a film work, a filmmaker should be able to sum up the entire film in a single word or phrase. (He defined his epic ""The Godfather"" as ""succession"".) In ""Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"", I wasn't quite sure of the main focus of the film, in other words I couldn't find a single phrase to sum to up what the story was about. Hence the film moves in many different directions, and while there is much to praise in the film, the screenplay was in need of a few more rewrites. At first the main focus seemed to be ""save the beasts"" but later it became ""stop the Obscurus"". Even by film's end, I wasn't entire convinced how these two ideas related to each other. Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), a Hogwarts graduate and scholar of fantastic beasts of sorts, arrives in New York. Scamander's character seems literally a cross between Harry Potter and renowned physicist Stephen Hawking (whom Redmayne played in the 2014 film ""The Theory of Everything""). He's been engaged in a long quest to stop the highest officials of the magic world from exterminating the many magical beasts which infiltrate the magic world. The political body in America has been concerned that sometimes these beasts slip into the muggle (non-magic) world, and they are dedicated to ensure the muggle world never become privy to the magic world. Newt has brought with him a special ""case"" which contains many of these magical beasts, sort of like the magical equivalent of Noah's Ark. Scamander crosses paths with Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), a lovable nobody muggle/no-maj who simply desires to create a bakery in the city. He is going to one of the local banks to plead for a loan, and he also carries a case similar in size, color and design to that being held by Scamander, although his is simply filled with samples of his pastries. Through several happenstance encounters causing several of Newt's beasts to escape into the muggle world, Jacob and Newt become reluctant bedfellows, so-to-speak, as Jacob is introduced to the magic world before he can be ""obliviated"", the magic world's term for erasing muggles' memories of magic encounters. Newt is then arrested by Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), an agent of the Ministry of Magic, Auror division, which enforces the strict law of magic, which includes keeping muggles ignorant of the presence of magic people. They also meet Queenie Goldstein (Alison Sudol), Tina's roommate who takes a liking to Jacob. Simultaneously, the city is being ravaged by an unseen ""force"" which seems to have supernatural qualities and inclinations. This thing enjoys chewing up buildings and streets and then spitting them into rubble. An anti-witch/anti-magic group run by Mary Lou Barebone is making street speeches that ""something"" is invading their city, preaching on a soap box a little bit like Aimee Semple McPherson of the Pentecostal movement in Los Angeles in the early 20th century. She seems to be aware of the presence of ""magic people"" and fantastic beasts in her midst. She also runs an orphanage and ""cares"" for several children: Credence, Chastity, and Modesty. The eldest, a young man, is Credence who wears funereal clothing and acts and appears to be constantly troubled. At one point, the Barebone ""family"" (if family they can be called) enter one of the local newspapers asking the editor Henry Shaw, Sr. (Jon Voight) to look into the matter. He refuses the request. Credence is then befriended by someone in the magic world: Percival Graves (Colin Farrell), one of the top officials in the Ministry of Magic in America. Graves promises Credence he will become ""welcome"" in the magic world if the younger man helps him to find the dark force, called an obscurus; Graves is convinced the force is someone in the Barebone orphanage. The story then moves basically on three fronts: Newt dealing with his escaped magical creatures, the anti-magic society among whom Credence has befriended a wizard and Ministry of Magic official, and the strange dark ""force"" which runs rampant through the city, smashing up the metropolis into the equivalent of Dresden during the Second World War. While these different ideas do finally converge by film's end, much of how all the pieces fit was very confusing. Some of the sequences where Newt was chasing escaped beasts, trying to get them back into his case, went on for too long. One good sequence, which is I think Rowling's strength, is when Newt introduces Jacob to his menagerie of beasts inside his case. Overall, generally a good film, but it needed to be tightened more. The Harry Potter films were much better focused while this film seemed a bit ""all over the place"". Personally, the first 1/2 hour and the last 1/2 hour were the most interesting. Some parts of the middle hour were often perplexing. I liked the acting of all the leads, although sometimes Newt (Redmayne) was a bit difficult to hear, and he would move his head somewhat away from the camera. When he describes the dark force ""the obscurus"", he was somewhat enigmatic in his explanation. Maybe I wanted a flashback to see the creation of the obscurus and what it was about rather than the endless ""lets get the creature"" before the muggles find out sequences. Still, generally it holds together, but it was close to a misfire.",7 "1. This is obviously not live action, it's animation, stop saying it's live action. DO YOU SEE REAL LIONS?? 2. None of the animals have any expression. This is supposed to be a dramatic musical based on Hamlet, and they populated an emotionally driven story with expressionless characters. 3. The music has been changed for the worse. Musical stings are edited in at the wrong moments. The music is poorly mixed. ""Be Prepared"" was completely neutered. Beyonce's three chord song doesn't sound remotely African and doesn't fit with the rest of the music. 4. There are good actors cast in this movie, and some non-actors, but neither groups seems to have been directed as to how to voice an animated character, or how to take on the aspects of the animal they were portraying. Compared to Eartha Kitt as Catwoman or even the performances from the 1994 movie, the delivery is very flat and uninspired. 5. James Earl Jones is a great actor, but casting him in his old age and deteriorating physical condition, expecting him to somehow match or exceed his performance from 25 years ago doesn't make sense, especially when every other role was recast. He just doesn't sound good. They could have paid him the same and reused his recordings from the original and it would have been better. 6. The changes made to the story don't seem to have a point, they're not motivated by emotion or the characters. 7. 2 stars for all the animators who actually tried to make a good movie. 8. All this boils down to ""lets make it different enough so people don't complain that it's just the same movie,"" except all the changes made have just made it worse.",2 "It starts well with a typical start of dying earth. The characters introduction of Robinson is fair. The introduction of smith herself is not much good. The start of the story , meeting the robot is also fair. What ticks me of is Smith and her super intelligence. Sometimes it feels as if she can think upto the ending of season. She just keeps provoking people for her own good. But the question is how does she know her good so far in the future? She doesn't know that green wire goes to ground. But she can manipulate people time and time again. It's like writers are trying their best to help her destroy Robinson's and others while they survive barely. If it's one time it's ok. But they do it everytime. It's like plot sheild given to villain.",5 "This movie let all us conjuring fans down, slow, predictable and a warewolf!? Lol",1 "Lame plot. boring cringe movie. director used taqqiya and showed right guy as a bad guy.",1 This is one of my favorite shows. I watched it over and over again. You can never get bored of it.,10 "How this travesty of a ""sci-fi"" movie has garnered so many gilded reviews is proof that either A) I am way out of step with the great, unwashed movie-going masses or B) the aforesaid masses have never seen a truly great ""sci-fi"" flick. This movie was interminable; I almost walked out 38 minutes into the run, when Mathew was still just a former test pilot trapped in the body of a corn-huskin' farmer. Which leads me to my first problem with Interstellar: would you ""hire"" a corn-huskin' farmer and devoted Dad of 2 to be the pilot of an intergalactic space mission? Aside from 1 or 2 very brief allusions, there is ZERO explanation / justification for Matt to be selected for this mission. And strangely enough, Michael Caine ages not 1 day in the 23 years since Matt blasts off for ""strange new worlds"". He is still in the same pants and shirt as he was when Matt blasted off (23 years before); the directors did give Mike a wheelchair for good measure. Before I proceed, there were 2 or 3 somewhat interesting plot twists, and the CGI / special FX were very good (just like ""Gravity"", another recent ""sci-fi"" disappointment); although the robot was utterly ridiculous; more like a walkin', talking' 21st century soda machine or a ""Gen 12"" Robbie the Robot. Of course, CGI and special FX alone do not a classic ""sci-fi"" film make. I cannot disclose 2 major plot disappointments due to the ""spoiler"" clause but suffice it to say the powers behind this film have tried to fuse an entry level class in quantum physics with an action film; and it just didn't work. I have now accepted, grudgingly, that for enough money you can get the finest actors to play in the most ludicrous films. Read the cast list; scratch your heads in disbelief, along with me. And if you want a classic ""sci-fi"" movie? Try 2001, Blade Runner, and Alien.",2 "I got to watch this for free as I was sitting in a plane with a 12 hour flight ahead of me. During a flight I am undemanding in the quality of a film as long as there is some entertainment. After half an hour I gave up - same old story, same cliches, poor dialogue and acting. I had a choice - continue to watch or have a nap. I took a nap.",2 "Americans are usually very good at making films about their own historic events. Just a few examples that come to mind are 'Frost/Nixon', 'Milk', 'J. Edgar', 'A Mighty Heart' and 'The Social Network'. 'Argo' is no exception. It's a well-crafted, solid movie about a bizarre event that took place during the hostage drama at the US Embassy in Tehran. In a clear case of truth being stranger than fiction, the CIA smuggled six US Citizens out of Iran, disguising them as members of a Canadian film crew making the sci-fi movie Argo. Director Ben Affleck used this event to make a suspenseful thriller. He knows how to make a story exciting: by showing parallel developments that put the audience on the edge of their chairs. While the CIA is working on the escape route, the Iranian intelligence is assembling photo's of the six by puzzling together pieces of shredded paper. Who will be the first to succeed? Although the audience knows how the story ends, the suspense is being built up through the entire movie. Immediately after I left the cinema, I planned to find out how much of what I had seen has really happened. As it turns out: quite a lot of it is made up. Just read CIA-agent Tony Mendez's own account of the operation on the website of the CIA. (His report is titled 'A Classic Case of Deception'). He describes how the operation went 'as smooth as silk'. There was no problem whatsoever getting the six out of the country. Let alone revolutionary guards driving armored cars on the runway to stop the plane, as is shown in the movie. But of course, a feature film is not a documentary. It's okay to spice up the historic facts in order to make a better movie. Argo is very well-made, with a genuine period feel and a clever script. The only thing that bothered me a bit was the too-good-to-be-true last-minute escape against all odds. The film would have been more realistic if it wouldn't have emphasized the breath-taking thriller elements so much.",7 "I'm really really disappointed, I have big expectations for this series...but unfortunately there is not much action, most of the episodes they just talk and talk and talk and is so sloooow. I think easier was to make just 2h movie, cut all this talk crap moments and then you will have nice game base zomieish movie. I'm big fan of the game... I don't want to waste much time in this ""8,8"" series so I will pass on the second session. Big fan of Pedro, like always amazing Bella is so mature and looks much better than in GOT. Good role for Nick Offerman, thumbs up! Big fan. John Hannah, pleasure to see this great guy again. ""Yes, well, that just makes you more gullible.""",4 "The sound is fine. If you're watching the show in English FUNimation has given the show a brand new 5.1 surround sound mix, which sounds excellent on a surround sound system. If you're like me though, and prefer to watch the show in it's original Japanese language track, you'll find the same mono track that was presented on all the other single disk releases of the show. With (what surely sounds like) a fatal flaw when it comes to the viewing of the show, many of you may be wondering why you'd want to bother with the show at all. Well, two things: Picture and price. Yes, the display of the show may be the biggest problem for this show, but the restoration is also one of the brightest things about the DVD. While not perfect, ""Dragon Ball Z"" has never looked this good before on DVD. The colors are mostly perfect, and the tone is very consistent, with only some grain to be found in certain spots. Regardless what you think of the widescreen presentation, the look of the picture is excellent. Then there's the fact that this DVD set retails for $50 and contains the first 39 episodes. I remember spending $20 on a ""Dragon Ball Z"" DVD with three episodes on it. If you bought the single disk releases on sale for $16 each (and this is being generous, as most single disk ""Dragon Ball Z"" DVD's will cost you $20 easily), then you'd spend around $250 by the time you got up to episode 39. Considering you can get ""Dragon Ball Z: Season One"" on sale for $30-$35 at most places, this is the cheapest ""Dragon Ball Z"" has ever been on DVD. At this rate, $250 will get you the whole show. All 291 episodes for what you would originally pay for the privilege to own 39 episodes. Despite the issues with the widescreen, it's hard to argue when the savings are that huge. Whether or not the widescreen issue is enough to scare you away from this DVD is entirely up to you. Re-watching the show again after I hadn't seen it for several years has made me see it in an entirely different light. It no longer seems to be the greatest action show I remember it to be. Some of the fights are rather silly looking, there are stretches of time that contain way too much filler, and several episodes early on in the show seem to wasting time while they are waiting for the story to come around. That said, when the show is good it's very good. Character development in these early episodes is excellent, there are many heartbreaking moments, and to actually go back to when Goku wasn't a Super Saiyan is a revelation as it shows me that it was more interesting to see these characters grow stronger then it was to watch them...well, BE stronger! It's not a perfect show, but a good portion of the episodes on this set do hold up quite well, and there's a reason we'll still be watching ""Dragon Ball Z"" several years from now. . For now though, I think I can live with these sets. On that note though, why is Vegeta on the cover for Season One while Goku gets banished to being on the cover of Season Two?",8 I overrated it because it is simply under rated It deserves a solid 7,7 "Loved the show. Didn't care much for Uncle Fester as he seemed like an unnecessary distraction. There were a few moments where her attitude felt tedious but overall, a perfect rendition of the wit, ability and fearlessness of the Wednesday Addams character. Jenna Ortega did a masterful job as the stoic young woman where slight nuances of facial expression were subtle but expressive moments of character development. I enjoyed all the performances and the story line was engaging enough. I remember watching the original Addams Family TV show and this in depth story on Wednesday was a worthy rendition of those characters and a lot of fun to watch.",8 I've seen some reviews before and this movie was supposed to be somehow good. It really was just meh. But i think for children (even though there were some questionable hard scenes) it could be something nice. Also the after credit scene was probably more hilarious than the actual movie.,6 "A mediocre film that is not holding up well. I judge all art at least partially by how well it holds up over time. This film is not holding up well. The second view was much more disappointing than the first. Other issues are the horrible makeup job for the older Jane. It looks like a child did it or maybe a cheap face painting job at the fair. How did that get the okay? The overall story is a decent concept, but it's rather obvious, and presented in a only a moderately compelling manner. I think the acting is the bright spot in the film. Not a weak performance any where. Why not go deeper into the ""solving the big bombing"" story line? That could have brought real edge to the movie. Too much time spent on trying to set up the big reveal which everyone has figured out half way through the film. Sorry, no ""sixth sense"" stunner here gang.",6 "The Queen's Gambit is a very entertaining seven episode series. For Chess enthusiasts, it is very realistic with few mistakes - but this is a story about a young woman overcoming the demons of her childhood and competing with the top players in the world in a well done 1960's setting (a Russian male dominated sport at a time sexism was the norm). Essentially, the story replaces the arrival of Bobby Fischer with a young woman, keeping the drama of US-Soviet competition and adding the female-glass ceiling element. You don't have to know how to play chess or even have interest in it to enjoy the series. Cinematography is excellent throughout the series, especially for the dark interior scenes, shot in natural light. Adapted Screenplay based on a book by Walter Tevis stretches credulity, but this series is an absolutely gorgeous-looking fairy tale, that everyone will remember for a long time. Costumes and makeup is just Outstanding, if this was a 125 minute movie, it would be definitely be Oscar worthy. Production design is also not far behind, in fact it matches costumes in almost every scene. Music & editing is very well handled. On the acting front Anna Taylor Joy steals the show, ably supported by by other supporting actors. Overall, The Queen's Gambit reeks with quality in its treatment & acting and the has the best production design & costumes for 2020. The duration of the series, at about 400 minutes is a big wonderful plus, aided by some wonderfully fine characters, The Queen's gambit cannot do much wrong. Though the scenes are bit slow in the middle episodes, It is a must watch series for everyone out there who are over 15. 8.1 stars out of 10 for the quality on offer.",8 "It's an amazing show, a good mix of dark humour, action, philosophy and so much more. It takes you on a journey with characters that seem very real and you feel for them. The writing is excellent and so is the pace. The episodes are long but very well executed. A fresh required twist to the Marvel-DC universe.",9 "As a guy who spent a good (well, maybe not so good) few years trying to get drunk and being baffled by girls, Superbad was always going to entertain. The mighty McLovin really reminds me strongly of one of my more unfortunate friends, and Michael Cera's affable but girl-blind loser was just exactly like the rest of us. A laugh-out-loud-funny film with sweet rather than overblown performances at its heart and some excellent set piece situations that are still honest enough to resonate with your own pathetic life (especially if you've ever responded to a girl throwing herself at you by being paralysed like a deer in headlights!), Superbad is a top drawer film.",8 "It would have been a good series if they just sped it up. It is just soooo damn slooooow. And the score sucks. They probably could have put the whole series into one season if they sped it up and cut out all the dream like scenes that nade no sense anyway. The whole look and feel of the show is like having a bad acid trip",5 "I will admit I often have trouble with book adaptations, but even so this was quite disappointing. I kept going till about mid episode 5 hoping for it to get better, but it rather seemed to be getting worse. My main gripe is that there is not a single character here who seems to have a personality. It's like they're just wandering around saying things with no real motivation. It's not just that many of the characters are unlike their book counterparts, they're just not really there, at all. Where is the passion? Where is the love, hate, amusement, fear? It's just all completely flat. One of Deborah Harkness's main strengths IMO is not just her thorough research but her ability to create multi-faceted and believable characters that you really start to care about, as well as invoke a strong atmosphere. Sadly this has not translated to the screen at all.",4 VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE A SEQUEL THAT IT IS ALSO A MASTERPIECE. COPPOLA DIS IT.,10 I could not get past the first episode of this garbage. They made the characters as ignorant and stupid as possible. It was as though they design the characters to have no common sense no sense of survival and no sense. Everything that your human instinct your common sense would tell you not to do they made the characters do. It seems as though the writers of the show decided I will take all common sense all sense of survival and get rid of it and write literally dodo birds. I understand you want to put suspense and thriller into a movie but you don't have to make the characters so unreasonable so stupid so no sense of purpose survival instinct or anything at all. I don't know why we stop making movies that drew the watcher into it and made you want to root for the characters and actually have suspense. Now we just try to say show me bloodshed show me stupidity show me sex show me gratuity but no substance whatsoever. It is though they're dumbing down the public so that they could produce more dribble more garbage out there and no one pays any attention to it and they just absorb complete nonsense. It is very insulting when they do that as though the viewers don't have anywhere with all the understand common sense and sense of survival that the viewers don't care about a good plot a good character build and motivation or anything it's just pure insanity.,1 "Very Emotional flim .. dog lovers gonna cry for sure , A mans journey with a dog.. great acting by the hero well made well scripted film .........................",10 "The whole premise of THE MATRIX is flawed. The machines are using humans as a power source - WHAT? Yes, humans, and all animals, radiate heat, but they never radiate more energy than they consume. Any physicist will tell you that it will take more energy to produce food and transport it to the humans than will ever be gotten from the humans. The humans are an energy sink. It doesn't matter how high-tech the machines supposedly are. You can't overcome the laws of thermodynamics.",5 "The Loki in the MCU movies was interesting, and a true villain in the begining. Then, through Thor 2 and 3 movies, he transforms in a belivable way, because his mother is killed, because he finally bonds with his brother and because Odin accepts him in the end. So he becames a hero by the end of Phase 3. The Loki in the TV series is lame. Altough the series picks up right after the battle of New York, he is suddenly a good guy. Friendly and sensitive. So this was a waste of time. No season 2 for me.",6 Dark Knight surpasses any cliche or limitation of its genre thanks to Nolan masterful direction.,4 "The preview had a modern Clue feel to it but it was not nearly as witty. Daniel Craig's bad southern accent was supposed to be funny..... I guess. The plot was supposed to have a twist.... I guess. Probably one of the most boring, predictable movies I've seen in a long time. Wait for it to come out on Hulu or Netflix.",2 "Horrible ""acting"" or reading I should say... like listening to third graders read Hahahah ugh.

No one knew how to sing and Beyoncé sounds like a gas station attendant on ave d.",3 "Many aspects of this film regarding elite take over of the world, wealth controlling politics and corruption at all levels, could have been easily translated to today. However, this takes place almost a hundred years ago, when the world was very different, or maybe as it is portrayed, not so different. The continual switching between comedy and serious drama is present throughput the film. The acting is superb from the whole cast, especially Christian Bale and the beautiful Margot Robbie. A good evenings entertainment and leaves one with something to think about. I would recommend this to a very wide ranging audience.",9 "Both Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany show there incredible acting skills in this series, both deserving of an Emmy. And I hope to see a Scarlet Witch movie later on",8 "Very good special effects, but the main story does not tell nothing... This movie results fun thanks to It's comedy moments and the effects but at the same time the story makes no much sense to full enjoy the movie.",4 "Avoid this rubbish at all costs, I think this supposed to be a comedy but fails completely. For a big budget movie with a well known cast, it comes across like a cable channel movie of the week. The jokes aren't funny, the acting is hopeless, the script and plot are pretty woeful as well. Avoid this nonsense",1 "If you've seen one you've definitely seen them all , I quite enjoyed the first 30 minutes of the first one but since that first hint of a decent story all that followed was ridiculous fight scenes with hundreds of deaths , not even well choreographed at that , I mean who likes this crap apart from brain dead teenagers taking a break from killing in fortnight If you've seen one you've definitely seen them all , I quite enjoyed the first 30 minutes of the first one but since that first hint of a decent story all that followed was ridiculous fight scenes with hundreds of deaths , not even well choreographed at that , I mean who likes this crap apart from brain dead teenagers taking a break from killing in fortnight.",2 "I haven't read the novels but from my experience there are not many tv fantasy series as unique and as beautiful in their own way as this one. I have watched many tv series of fantasies and honestly the more unique the feeling while watching the tv series itself the more beautiful it feels. And I think this is one of the few tv series including fantasy movies that has a bit of everything in it and has managed to be like reading a novel or a book. You feel as if you were in their world living it with them. The music is also perfect, the actors are a great choice and the story is just beautiful. I feel so lucky and happy to have seen this tv series and I hope to read the novels someday. I would recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy, romance and adventure.",10 "I watched this movie years ago and just didn't get it. I found most of the fight scenes very well done but the story to be over the top silly and really not that enjoyable. I decided to give this another go this past weekend and wonder if maybe i'd like it more with another watch. I definitely did not and found myself again only enjoying the few fight scenes. The one scene with the Zither instrument is fantastic and far and away the most memorable scene for me in the movie. The other fight scenes are also well done but the comedy is just not that funny to me. A few laughable moments but the story is not well done and a majority of the humor didn't hit. I guess Stephen Chow films just aren't for me.",6 "As far as this kind of genre goes it ticks all the boxes, great action special effects but there's a deeper element here, character development and meaning, looking forward to seeing the next season.",8 "The Web Series is great. TVF has always brought in great Web Series. And the Aspirants Series is quite great, one can watch it with family. It surely shows a true and harsh side of preparing for UPSC. However I believe that the Series could have been a little longer, they could have included some more Episode where they properly showcase the preparations & also the constraints, issues they have. The story could have showed more about other characters. But well overall the series is great, could have done far better.",8 "Director: Steven Spielberg Actors: Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke and Ben Mendelsohn My Points: 5,3 - 2,5/5 What a redard movie! In Finland, I would call this ""vanmainen"" - although it is spelled ""vammainen"". It just my way... So, this indeed is a very redard movie - I aint gonna justify it, it just is... Dont know how Steven Spielberg got related (actually the director) for this garbage. Well, this is a nerds dream movie (so many game/movie reference), maybe mr. Spielberg is a nerd. I got nothing good to say about this movie, it's just a dirty mess. Or I don't know about the ""dirty"", 'cause this was quite a bit a beatiful movie. In looks, nice special effects. But on the inside, this was ugly. Although I gotta mention Ben Mendelsohn, he was a good ""bad guy"" in this movie. And so was the other two, Tye Sheridan and Olivia Cooke. But, still a very redard movie - dont watch this. Although, this have 7,4 point on IMDb - which I'm surprised (although I kinda predicted it...)! Well, this is a nerd movie - and they propably eat this like gold, so...",5 "It's not terrible, but it's also not great. A lot of the story does not make sense or is just dumb. Factual problems you could drive a truck through. It's ok. Sort of.",4 "I really don't know how I managed to get through this movie. It is tedious with a fantasised story based on real events - but not actually the event as it was at the time. Overall, I wouldn't waste my time watching this again.",5 "Such a good movie! The plot is just amazing, as well as the execution!",10 The Series Was So Nicely Maintained .Loved it 😍😋😍😋,9 "I think Avatar might be my favorite TV show. Because it is so deep and still so soft, it makes the show not age and rewatchable. It feels like the jokes and stories are all very soft and so universal. The theme of characters around that age, the episode order, music, details everything is like woow. The quality almost never drops. This show really sometimes teaches you how a show must include some features instead of you finding yourself meeting your top quality demands in another very high quality show. The content is 10/10, the details 10/10, the overall handling 10/10, the length of series 10/10... I seriously think every single tiniest detail has its course in the show predetermined in correlation to overall show. Well, for me, it is like a show where there is kind of nothing wrong, and more additionally it provides you with a CORE feeling. I can't imagine how they have pulled this off. This quality is veeery hard to top and I have not seen anything like this.",10 "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Part I finds young Harry played by Daniel Radcliffe and his posse Rupert Grint and Emma Watson fugitives after a palace coup at Hogwarts. The academy of magic has been taken over by Professor Rufus Snape after headmaster Dumbledore has been killed. It's not just that Harry and his friends know too much, it's that Harry has a mysterious connection with the mysterious black lord Voldemort, the evil genius behind all the bad things happening. And Voldemort is quite anxious to sever the connection and sever young Mr. Potter from immortality. In this next to last of the Harry Potter series the familiar cast goes through their usual paces as young Harry and his friends are exiled from Hogwarts and have to live by their wits, knowledge of magic, and the help of friends. The Deathly Hallows refer to three charmed objects that he must destroy to keep Voldemort from taking over the world of magic. This film received Academy Award recognition with Oscar nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Art Direction. One thing the Potter films have done is certainly brought an appreciation of Charles Dickens to the young. After you've read J.K. Rowling's work, you will love how she's given such descriptive names to her characters in the way Dickens used to. And if Harry Potter isn't a 21st reincarnation of David Copperfield, then I don't know my Dickens.",7 "It's just a good ol action movie. I enjoyed it. Chris Hemsworth's a bad MF in this. Like I said, solid action flick.",7 "Although somewhat entertained throughout, I wasn't that impressed by this one. The acting was fine. The soundtrack may not be as good as fans make it out to be but it was still pretty catchy. Also the cgi looked pretty good. However, I felt like the movie was trying way too hard to be funny. Even though it's suppose to be this very funny movie, nobody was laughing at the theater I was in. The comedy was very forced and I felt that it wasn't really necessary half the time. At the beginning of the movie. I thought it was going to be a deep movie but after the first 20 minutes, my hope was gone. It ended up being a misguided action movie. The unmemorable super villain was another misstep. And that's another main flaw in the movie. Character development was minimal and I felt no emotional attachment to half of the main characters. I did enjoy most recent Marvel movies but this was just okay. It was a forgettable entry in the marvel series and it didn't do it for me.",3 "This is a one-note character piece with Bill Murray sleep-walking through the whole thing. It goes nowhere, repeatedly visiting the same scenes----yeah! yeah! we get the point: Karaoke is a Japanese-thing and piano bars are one-step removed but certainly not as funny. But I couldn't understand how Murray could be nominated for this performance. Like the movie, it is so one-note. I wanted to lift off the mask and ask if there was someone alive under that skin.",1 This is it. What is there not to like in here. Music is one of the biggest plus point. Perfect timing of each and everything. Goosebumps itself got bumps. I ended up watching the trailer after watching the entire movie just to get that boost again in a different way. Film ended up with a big question mark as to who actually Dilli is ? Tollywood industry in itself is a different level altogether.,10 "I am extremely disappointed with the HORRIBLE misrepresentation of Dhaka. Dhaka and its law enforcers deserve a MUCH better portrayal in front of the world. Reasons below: 1. Children don't carry rifles on the streets of Dhaka in broad daylight. It's a horrible misrepresentation shown in the movie. If I didn't live in Dhaka myself, I would be mistaken into thinking child terrorism is normal in Dhaka. 2. Law enforcers in Dhaka - whether it be DMP, RAB or any of the defense organizations - are NOT incompetent and incapable of stopping two random guys flying in from outside the country. They do their job well, which is why we can go out, visit places, hang out with friends and more without worrying about random shootings (like they show in the movie). 3. Dhaka's streets are NOT violent and it's NOT normal for people to fight in public with guns and swords. The movie made it seem like the people are used to things like these happening and somehow it's the norm here. 4. An entire movie set to be in Dhaka and not a SINGLE major Bangladeshi character played by someone who SPEAKS the language and dialect that we do in Bangladesh? Are you for real, Netflix? All the major characters spoke Bengali like they do in West Bengal / Kolkata - NOT how we speak in Bangladesh - although they were representing characters in Bangladesh. Why? My mother was an actress, a lot of my friends are too. I'm sure many Bangladeshi actors could do those roles better than any of the ones who did, WHILE speaking our language/dialect. Overall, it's a horrible misrepresentation of the country in front of the world by a cast which isn't even 1% Bangladeshi. People abroad don't know a whole lot about Dhaka, but after they watch this movie, they might get the wrong impression that Dhaka lacks law enforcement and is filled with violence. This is not my Dhaka, this is not any Dhaka. PS: This is my opinion on the movie, as someone who was actually born and brought up in Dhaka. I was offended by how they represented my city, and I want an apology from Netflix.",1 "The character of Quiet is written so poorly it almost makes it unwatchable. Clearly she's competent but she is constantly doing so many stupid things and creating problems that it's impossible to like her. The acting is fine; it's 100% the writing. The overall concept is surprisingly good. The acting by the primaries is really good across the board and the CGI is acceptable for what this is. I'd like to see more seasons but only if they fix the inconsistent writing. Arnett/Samoa Joe kill it as Sweet Tooth. Another thing I found surprising is this is more character and story driven than it is reliant on the car combat the game series is known for. The car combat that does exist is pretty cool.",6 "The movie has been made for only action lover people. Once movie starts after intro part, there was not a single 10 minutes gap between two action scenes. In the movie there was no plot, not much dialogues. But yes, action was extra ordinary and too good. Chris hemsworth has nailed his role. Story was somehow weak, I felt director was more focused on action than story or plot.",6 "One of a best TV series I have seen so far. What I appreciate. 1. No any wired half twists are being used for creating an artificial value to the plot. Everything are being clearly solved with the end of TV series. No any questions have been left after the end of TV series. 2. The flow of the plot is truly amazing. There was a good flow. So many TV series premiered recently had one common issue. Last episode is the upside down one. Until last episode, things goes very slowly. Last episode make things upside down. That is not a quality of a good plot. But, in this series, things flew very clearly and as unpredictable before the end. 10/10 to the plot writer. 3. Naturally acted movie by all actors and actress. Most interesting character was Mare's mother's character. 150% natural. Then, why 8/10 1. Actually I wanted to give 8.7. But there was not an option for that. 2. Lack of drone shots and moving shots. I think, this series become perfect, if there was more drone shots and camera moving shots. 3. Lack of details of Siobahan's relationship. There may be some little more scenes for Siobahan's relationship.",8 "Most older viewers will go in to this to see Steve Martin and Martin Short team up while younger viewers are likely here for Selena Gomez. You will certainly get your fill as far as screen time goes, but not quite the best as far as performances go. All three are fine enough in their roles but we are talking a spoofy murder mystery here. Steve Martin gets more humor and drama than the others and does well with it and generally being a lot less over the top than we are used to seeing him - which I found refreshing. Martin Shorts character works more an annoyance that lets others be funny although he does have some funny lines, but much less than we normally see. Selena Gomez is a bit uneven. She works best when she is investigating and not so good when she is supposed to be emotional. It can't be easy holding your own with this cast, but I do think she held her ground pretty well. The story is a spoof about crime murder podcasts and manages to go through many different phases during the 10 episode run. It started strong and then ambles along very pleasantly until it.",5 Worst Movie I have ever seen. I don't seen option less than 1 to rate this movie.,1 "This just as good as 1st sequel. Nice science, superhero, technology, unique. The only bit bad things are rushed and bit disordered action. I expected more explanation, details, and less action. The emotions are not as deep as in better movies like Spiderman. But the action, technology, and superhero part are good enough. Serious character who looks good in his role, like real engineer and boss. Good other characters all of who are unique. The best part here was that he at cases of down (letdown) and failure and bad health did not give up, and gave effort, and actually shown realistic way to produce chemical element, in a particle accelerator, which even if not completely realistic, is realistic enough, and I could easily associate it real life science, and personal wishes and letdowns. It motivates me to not give up, to be better, to keep chasing dreams and be better than others, especially enemies.",9 "Long film at 2 1/2 hours, but enjoyable for the most part. Damon is brilliant in the role but Bale overacts. Best to see the film in a theater with a larger than life screen.",7 "The sole marketing tool for this movie is Daniel Radcliffe. And it's a tragedy: the movie would be compelling without him. White anti-apartheid freedom fighters imprisoned for believing in freedom? What a tale. It should be impressive. Instead we're given a lackluster British prince (what other title can be given to a man catapulted to international fame at 12) in a movie about another continent. The hero of a movie about the struggle for South African independence and racial equality has a British accent? Copied and pasted from an early 2000s magical fiction? Wow. The tale of South Africa's freedom has both heroes and villains, but they are all South African, not British posh boys famous since adolescence. The tool this movie uses for acknowledgement is in fact it's downfall.",1 "Lots of discussion around legitimacy of claims. Very little content, no relatable characters (it does not help that actors change in the middle of the series), no focus on experiencing another world. It lacks all the Charme of game of thrones, the different storylines, the big threat, the fighting scenes,the different cultures and landscapes of Westeros. It is a pure listing of events that led up to the targaryens losing the throne. The worst is that the actors for the main characters change in the middle of the series which makes you lose all connection you build throughout the first couple of episodes .",2 "Had the ability to be a really good show, however, having to look forward to Dr. Smith attempt to scuttle everything, just gets extremely tiring. Some good actors in the cast, and to a lesser degree the women. Really a shame, it could have been something to look forward to.",2 "Inception has received almost unanimously good reviews in the press. So who am I to say, as an ordinary, paying member of the filmgoing public, that this movie is a dog? I have to qualify that - I left after the first hour or so (during the gunfight. Sorry, that's not very clear: during the yellow cab gunfight to distinguish it from all the other gunfights.) I really have better things to do with my time - even writing this. Back to the movie (or half of it, anyway.) Dreams within dreams within dreams don't have to be logical - I suppose they wouldn't be dreams if they were - but a story *should* be logical, or at least be capable of explanation. And this one isn't. From a screenplay point of view it just didn't hang together for me: the episodic nature of the story, such as it is, made no sense whatsoever. I realise that this was probably the intention and that presumably all would eventually become clear: it's just that I didn't have the intestinal fortitude to sit through to the end. Almost every utterance by the characters seemed to come out of thin air, with no relevance to anything else. The innumerable fights lost all meaning, and the undoubtedly clever GCI effects appeared to me to be the sole reason for making the film in the first place. ""Hey, let's make a movie with CGI better than Avatar! Those effects will be great! Can we build a storyline around them?...."". Sorry, the effects *are* good (even if nothing like as stunning those in Avatar), but the complete lack of a halfway believable plot line just doesn't cut it for me. As others have said, the soundtrack didn't help: muffled dialogue and loud, pretentious music don't mix. But then again, who cares? The dialogue was truly, mindbendingly, banal. Sir Michael: you don't need the money, do you? Please use a little discrimination when accepting roles! Two out of ten - it would probably be one out of ten if I had been able to stick it to the end. (Edited: After I had posted this I looked for the first time at others' reviews, and noticed that Dylan - 24th July - has used exactly the same summary as I. There must be a clue there?)",2 "I stopped being an MCU fan after the ending of Avengers endgame and after watching this movie I still am a retired MCU fan. The whole story feels chaotic with all the stuff thats going on idk you never really know whats going to happen next with all the control of reality and multiverse crap going around. The story progresses with new stuff being introduced every 2 mins and it feel like they keep on adding new 'never heard of stuff' to just progress the plot. But dont get me wrong this WandaVision 2 movie is really good in terms of VFX.",4 The last war with iron man is awesome. i loved to get Irom man defeted with two men.,9 "The 2023 movie ""Barbie"" is a surprisingly subversive and thought-provoking film that takes a sharp look at gender roles and expectations. Directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the film has good visual with a sharp script and great performances. The film follows Barbie (Robbie) as she is exiled from Barbieland for not being perfect enough. She ends up in the real world, where she meets Ken (Gosling) and learns about the challenges of being a woman in a patriarchal society. The film is full of humor and heart, but it also tackles some serious issues, such as sexism, body image, and the pressure to conform. Gerwig does a good job of balancing these elements, creating a film that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The performances in the film are all excellent. Robbie is particularly good as Barbie, bringing both humor and vulnerability to the role. Gosling is also great as Ken, and the two have great chemistry together. The film's visuals are also stunning. The sets are nicely designed, and the costumes are good. It's clear that a lot of care went into its production. Kids seem to love it and it's really a film for them even if I wouldn't watch it a second time personally.",5 "Single worse Sandra B. Effort...ending was bad, acting was bad",1 "The final episode shows one of the characters beaten and abused in such a horrific way that it leaves you filled with anger, it's terrifying to think teenagers actually watch this show and probably get ideas from it. Stupid.",1 "Two 76 year-old actors and one 80 year-old playing young guys. Or should I say young fellas? Either way, it's embarrassing. If you feel like you've seen this interminably long film several times before-it's because, essentially, you have. I should confess that I have never appreciated films that attempt to glamorize mobsters, but now that we have a crook running the government, I have no patience with this at all. But mostly, it's really boring.",3 For some action movies that are far from being realistic I expect more fun or thrilling scenes but got very mediocre stuff hence the mediocre score.,4 "Season1 &2 was fine.season3(just ok) story was absolute vague and totally went on the wrong path.There are too many logic mistakes in it but it's not boring.so throw away the logic and just watch,you surely likes it.",8 "Captain America the winter soldier, is directed by the best director that mcu have. It is more darker than other mcu movie and the best part of the movie is it's action scene, story and character development. This movie also intoduce a new character falcon which was good. Captain america is my favorite character in the mcu so this movie was special for me and it's action scenes are well choreography and the fight between captain america and winter soldier was amazing. I think marvel should make more movies like this and overall i love the movie very much💙💙and it is the best movie of phase 2 keep it up.",10 "Well, before I started writing this I went and browsed trough the previous comments. One thing I noticed was, that at least 3/4 of the were written by different people from USA another thing I noticed was, that most of them were very positive. A bit to much if you ask me. I like spider-man. I think he is one of the coolest super heroes ever invented. I hated the first movie, mostly because it was so very - I love New York, you can't beat us. Sure it was after the 9/11 incident, but such a message has no place in a movie about a fictional hero like Spider-man. The second movie was better in some ways, I must admit the effects were awesome, but for all the people that loved the comics or even the cartoons it should have been a disappointment. Sure it is an action super hero movie and you can't really expect deep dialogs, development of characters and such, but there is no need to presume that people watching it will all have IQ-s of a 6 year old. At various points in the movie I felt like it was telling me I was a moron, who needed everything explained and repeated over and over for the message to get trough. The performances were, well.... average and some scenes were overly dramatic. Screaming evil laugh doctors talking to themselves really aren't my thing. I know there are a lot of fans out there so don't kill me, but be realistic",5 "I thought Barbie was an ok movie, especially by recent standards. It was a whimsical, borderline funny movie that presented both femininity and masculinity in both toxic and healthy versions. Part of the movie that isn't brought up much is that during the first few minutes, Barbie World, which is completely matriarchal, is shallow and plastic. Life in Barbie World is boring. Which is why after Ken brings the patriarchy from the real world almost everyone is on board. It's different and fun. Then when Barbie returns, Barbie and a couple of others use deception and manipulation to win back power. Just like some aspects (some, not all) of the patriarchy, deception and manipulation are evil too. Then after Barbie finally sees Ken's dilemma, instead of only focusing on herself, she supports him. It's Barbie and its Ken. The message of the movie is not down with the patriarchy, nor is it anti matriarchy. The message of the movie is life is hard, with ups and downs and then you die, so we should support each other. Just like how some women see sexism everywhere or how some nonwhites see racism everywhere; I think the prevalence of anti-male propaganda in modern ""entertainment"" has led some people to see male bashing everywhere. I think this movie was balanced in its fault finding and the core message was to support each other.",7 "I was very much looking forward to seeing this movie after all the hype it got. But when I did, I was utterly disappointed. Removing the emotions attached to this historical event when reviewing this, the movie made it look like the Dunkirk operation, was just a small evacuation of some 10,000 troops. The movie never got to convey the true scale of the operation. The movie failed to show the enormity of the entire Dunkirk evacuation. In the real Dunkirk, the evacuation was far more chaotic than what was shown in the movie. In the movie, it looked almost organised. Watching the movie, you never got the sense that there were over 300,000 troops evacuated during this event. It focused too much on too few characters, and I couldn't relate to the story, nor did I get the sense of urgency, danger, and/or life or death situations faced by the characters. I respect this historical event and admire all people that were involved in it, but in my opinion, this movie failed to convey any of the emotion and the gravity of this historical event.",3 "I had never heard of this show but it was really good. Lots of action and for the adults some boobies..wink wink.. My kind of show, looking forward to next season.",9 "I downloaded this morning because I loved the trailer and love these actors. Never heard of the book or read it, so take that into consideration. But I thought it was TERRIBLE. All over the place. Sheen wasn't as good as people are writing. I don't think the part was cast well for him at all. I can count on one hand how many times I stopped something mid-watch. Got through 1.5 episodes and realized this isn't for me. Laughed once. Never kept my interest. Hope y'all disagree. But a true disappointment for me.",2 "How this movie ended up with winning 7 Oscars is beyond me... I guess the movie makers wanted it to be funny, dramatic, sad and thrilling, but it ended up with nothing at all. It was a bit awkward to watch, and I cringed a few times simple because I felt sorry for the actors to be in these stupid scenes. A much overrated movie that I will never watch again. I did not even watch the whole movie in one go because it sucked. However, I just had to watch the rest of the movie the next day, just to see what the hype was all about. Yupp, Still sucked. I gave it 3 stars for the originality and a couple of semi funny moments.",3 "Black Mirror is still discussing the current problems, over entertainment, over dissemination and over memory, but the writers put their background on the future of advanced technology to increase the effect, which is very good-looking and worth pondering.",9 "From playing the game to watching this season it was pretty good, enjoyed it a lot. Was a bit hesitant to watch it at first but I'm glad I did. For everything to come together you have to watch the whole season not just half it and and wonder why you don't know what going on. Hopefully they don't mess up season 2",9 "I really enjoyed Captain America, Thor, and the first Iron Man, but The Avengers is just a mostly boring, repetitive, excessively long mess of self-indulgence. You'd never know that the talented Joss Whedon directed -- the film has none of his trademark sly humor, cleverness or pacing. Instead we get a needlessly long film short on everything but action. While Mark Ruffalo is excellent as Bruce Banner / The Hulk, the rest of the cast is pretty much cardboard. Frankly, it's just a dumb film and just because it's popular does not mean it's a good film. So if you like lots of action, wooden dialog, dumb plots, and, well a lot of noise, you'll love this mess of a film. But if you expect to see a film that's better than the best episodes of Josh Whedon's ""Buffy"" or want more from a film, be prepared to be disappointed.",4 "I'm usually not one for super hero movies but I think Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy is particularly enjoyable. Not only is it action packed and features quite a number of very respectable actors, but the plots are more complex than your typical ""good-guy-defeats-bad- guy-and-saves-the-world"" story you see so often in super hero movies. I was wondering if this film would be able to follow The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger's Joker was legendary. Tom Hardy as Bane was quite scary though, a great villain to end the trilogy with. He was extremely brutal yet demonstrated intelligence and cunning despite his brutality. I would definitely not want to cross paths with him. I've always preferred Batman to the other super heroes. I guess what I like about him is that he doesn't have magical powers. His super power is being super rich. Not that anything he does is realistic, but the fact that he's not magical makes him seem a little more believable than the others. That's what I like about him. Also there's something really captivating about his dark persona. He's an angry super hero. He wears all black. It's almost as if there's a little bit of villain in him as well. I think blurring the lines between good and evil a little bit makes him more appealing to me as well. I really don't want to say too much about the film because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who happens to read this and hasn't seen it yet. I really enjoyed it though. I particularly liked the portrayal of Cat Woman, played by Anne Hathaway. Instead of depicting her as a woman one step beyond ""Cat Lady"" with a black suit and kitty ears, they focused more on the fact that Selena Kyle is a burglar. Her outfit suggested cat, with binoculars that looked like cat ears when put on top of her head. Yet not once did anyone call her Cat Woman which I really liked. I think Cat Woman can be made quite silly in many films (ex: Halle Berry in Cat Woman; she looked like a cat stripper). This Cat Woman was my favorite though.",6 "A very gripping series, from start to finish! Kate Winslet has incredible range as a performer.",7 "Season 1 of this show is AMAZING! 10/10! Now I know many people would disagree, but I loved it so much! Everything was so unexpected and dark. And I just loved how it toke a movie, changed something, and made the story go in a completely different direction! Favorites being Ultron episode, watcher broke his oath, Strange Supreme, and Avengers all died. Sure there were 2 or 3 episodes that really didn't stick the landing, but overall I really enjoyed it! Now season 2... was okay. It felt very safe. Which is not what you want to do when the show is WHAT IF! First of Ego and Hela, insanely powerful beings either got beat in 2 seconds, or just became good in 2 seconds. Instead of making the villains even more terrifying and unexpected, the heroes beat or change them easier than the films do. I would rather have insanely powerful Ego or Hella be the villain for the final episode instead of Supreme Strange come on... The season had to take more chances. Another issue is time. The episodes are way too short, and the time is not always used wisely. And I feel as though this was an issue in the first season where some episodes didn't get to finish their story (Killmonger, Zombies), but here it really shows. Instead of leaving it open-ended, it rushes it to an uncomfortable extent. Like Kahhori's episode. Way to overpower for whatever reason and does everything perfectly. Once again everything else is amazing to look at, but character is first. Captain Carter for me is an exception. Because she was in 5 episodes (2 being her own what ifs), which aloud her to be fleshed out more, also you can count the fact that she was in multiple mcu appearances before hand. Kahhori's introduction was rushed. Some episodes I really enjoyed in S2, were Iron Man in Sakar, Captain Carter fight the Hydra Stomper, and 1602. The other ones go from fine to absolutely boring. For more in depth, I wrote reviews for most of the episodes. I gave this an 8 (in the time of S1 and S2 release) because I still loved the first season, and S2 wasn't a complete failure.",8 "Queen is a bold, beautiful and an inspirational coming of age film. It's journey of a timid, self-conscious small town girl to self- discovery in a magical, mystical and even weird world. Kangana, like Alice in Wonderland sets out from a familiar setting to an enchanting world. Kangana rejected by her fiancé runs away from the sadness of her family to a solo Honeymoon. An unusual story line handled by Vikas Bahl with a lot of conviction, art and much restrain. The art in directing a coming of age movie is how to show to transformation of the protagonist. Vikas Bahl chose to understate it in a slow manner giving much room to the audience to interpret the story. The film is a road movie traveling from Delhi to Paris and Amsterdam and returns to Delhi. Kangana's transformation is subtle and heart-warming. Delhi: Rani is a sweet, obedient middle class girl, destined to become a housewife. She is preparing herself for that life. She studies Home Science, a mundane subject. But later in her journey, this mundane subject rescues her from a difficult situation. Her fiancé Vijay, played by Rajkummar Rao, cancels the wedding at the last moment. He has done justice to his role but kudos to him for coming out in support of Kangana. Paris: The plane taking off. She is going to find her wings. Rani visits a nightclub. It's her first taste of freedom. She dances to a Hindi song. She removes her sweater as if removing her protective family shell. The Hindi song in Delhi would have meant nothing much to her. Here, in Paris, it liberates her. A little high on wine, she comes out and dances in front of the cab driver who is busy texting. One layer of inhibition shed. I loved her gig. A fantastic performance. Later, she gets drunk and narrates her story to Vijay Lakshmi. She tells who was she and what happened to her. She cries, she laughs and she dances and she begins to see a new world. She could be a part of that new world. In one scene, Vijay Lakshmi takes off her bra. It was a symbolic honeymoon and also prepares the audience for what to expect in Amsterdam. Rani is ready for more. Amsterdam: Sharing a room with men. Earlier in the film, Rani's grandmother said she found her husband while sharing a tent at the refugee camp. The hostel room worked very much like a 'refugee camp'- people finding shelter from their own sadness, anger and disappointment in life. Before leaving Amsterdam,all four friends leave a part of their soul, search and pain in that room. Rani leaving her wedding card was a clue to the climax. Oleksander (sikandar) says he is angry with rampant drillings for oils and expresses his anger in his paintings. She says ""I want to do something."" He asks her ""what is stopping you?"" Later he talks about Kaka as how lost his parents in Tsunami. Oleksander says, ""He has us."" Rani becomes a part of 'us' and hugs Kaka. She shows love and care to one hurting person. She could do at least that much as a person to person. It releases Kaka from his pain and he leaves his parents picture on the wall. Marcello (the restaurant owner) character is what script writing textbook call 'a divine intervention' to help the protagonist achieve his/her goal. He appears out of nowhere, plays a mentor and assists her, challenges her to come out of her comfort zone. Rani passes the test successfully and realizes that she didn't need a safe place just to exist. She needed to live a life. She finds life and herself too. In the very next scene, she meets with Vijay, her fiancé and she sides with her friend asking Vijay to meet him the next day. He was no more important to her, another clue as what would happen at the climax. She meets her friends at the Rock Concert for the last time. They dance, hug and say goodbyes. She is there alone but that was totally opposite of how alone she was in the beginning of the movie or on the plane. She continues to dance as to celebrate herself, her new self. The best scene of the movie. The transformation was complete and all she needed was to introduce herself to the world. Delhi: She returns to Delhi with her new life offering her two choices, either to live like Vijay Lakshmi who is free spirit but rootless. Brilliantly played by Lisa Haydon. Or get married and live a life like her mother-in-law, deeply rooted in culture, tradition and mundane routine. She decides to live her own life, develop her own roots and fly on her new found wings. Climax. Rani hugs Vijay in gratitude without any anger for being rejected. His rejection helped her find herself, and see the world and make a sense of it like Alice in Wonderland. Rani on the outside remains the same but on the inside she is a new person. It's out and out Kangana's film. She is brilliant so is Lisa Haydon. She is a perfect contrast to Rani. Hangama Ho Gaya was an excellent choice to end the movie.",7 "Adrian Gallagher, Five, is a genuine standout for his acting in a series which is largely plagued by a storyline with rampant plot holes. The writers had an initial idea that seemed to work but the series just never really comes together or finds a way to keep me truly interested. The plot drags on and the way they attempt to wrap up certain parts of the story is increasingly unsatisfying. 7/10 - Writing is just falling flat while, Five, is carrying the series on his back. Help the dude out.",7 "This movie could have been so much better. The Scarecrow is such a cool villain, but they pretty much killed him by making Ras Al Ghul the real main villain. With all the bad guys from the Batman franchise; why choose the worst one? I mean, he's just a regular guy!! Anyway, some of this movie was good. The fight scenes were horrible. I saw it at a drive-in and I couldn't tell who was punching who. I still don't know if Batman threw a single punch in the entire movie, thanks the the quick, up close shots, and herky jerky camera movements. If you're a Batman fan, stick with the Tim Burton version. Don't believe the reviews. This movie was nothing special.",5 "In the 1980s cartoon Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends, arch-fiend The Chameleon's master plan left something to be desired: ""I will destroy your friendship – get you to distrust, even dislike each other!"" Flash-forward thirty years, and the same conflict anchors one of the most expensive movies ever made. Okay, so it's contextualized within more sociopolitical morality debates and Avengers than you can shake a shield at. Still, veteran Winter Soldier/Community directors Joe and Anthony Russo carefully keep hurt feelings the eye of the blockbuster storm. Their ability to effortlessly counterbalance the macro and micro levels of the conflict makes Captain America: Civil War a strong candidate for the most satisfying superhero film ever. It shrugs off clichés that had been threatening to bog the genre down, while reaffirming its core populist appeal with unprecedented nuance. Switching gears from the colourful din of Age of Ultron to the far more interesting Age of Accountability, Civil War neatly consolidates the politics of its comics source text into about as in-depth an interrogation of the ethics of unsanctioned vigilante justice as we're ever likely to get in a franchise blockbuster. Like Ultron, there's simply too much going on for Civil War to not have a 'bit-y,' episodic feel, which undercuts the sweeping feeling of exhilarating, euphoric rush many of the best Marvels deliver. Unlike Ultron, all these bits are actually good. Every character's dialogue breathes distinctly and organically, while their respective subplots are fastidiously orchestrated - with even inconsequential emotional beats unexpectedly coming crashing back as red herring climaxes later on. The Russos keep the moral naval-gazing concise but impactful, giving both sides of the debate a fair hearing, without backseat driving the viewer to taking a side. If anything, considering the 'Captain America' in the film's title, Rogers' steadfast conviction in individual autonomy has its fair share of holes poked in it, making it a genuinely even moral playing ground. And if the politics are motivated a touch over-conveniently at times (Rogers' resolution to keep fighting the good fight during a inspiring eulogy is one of the film's few stumbles of contrivance, while a non-sequitur kiss briefly flirts with the surreal unacceptability of 'Brutasha'), the Russos, in true Marvel fashion, are always ready with a quip or more stunning fight choreography to keep the melodrama at bay. Ah yes - let them fight. It's no exaggeration to say that Civil War showcases, hands down, the most spectacular superhero action combat we've seen yet. The opening anti-terrorist Avenging takedown of Frank Grillo (remember him?)'s tech-beefed Crossbones is itself pulse-pounding fun, exhilarating without overstaying its welcome. But let's face it: it's the hero vs. hero airport super-brawl you came for. You're not wrong to do so; the hype doesn't do it justice. Gone is the bland spectacle of mowing through faceless CGI blurs. Here, our combat is up-close, unprecedentedly intricate choreography, grounded in character, humour and Star Wars references, crunchy with moral ambiguity, and consistently topping itself with more and more 'Big Moments.' It's almost obnoxious how awesome this fight is. That said, it's the finale you'll really take away with you. An abrupt about-face from the bombastic fun of earlier, following a trail of twists and turns we genuinely don't anticipate (including a climax riffing on Se7en of all things...), Civil War's final fight is pared-down, viciously gritty, and microcosmically ties together the entire MCU thus far. It's also exhaustingly grim, which would be a buzzkill if it weren't so intimately emotionally truthful. Still, stay until the very end of the credits if your spirits need further bolstering. The film's real battle is deciding which character to cheer for the most. We get more time with relative newcomers - Elizabeth Olson and Paul Bettany adorably weave tender humour into contemplating godlike powers amongst mortals - but veterans like Scarlett Johansson and Don Cheadle find new wrinkles and punchlines to explore. If Sebastian Stan's Bucky verges on tiresome histrionics, he's easily redeemed when paired with the hilarious banter of Anthony Mackie. Meanwhile, the inhumanly charming Paul Rudd delivers an infinitely more satisfying Ant-Man mini-movie in fifteen minutes than his whole flaccid feature. As new blood, Daniel Brühl's Zemo wisely stays mostly behind the scenes, deftly delivering one of the franchise's most complex, troubling foes. Chadwick Boseman's slick, sombre Black Panther is breathlessly captivating, and the prospect of waiting two years for more of him is agony. But the winner might be Tom Holland's prolonged cameo as a certain prodigal web-head, whose chatty cheeriness was so perfect it reduced our theatre to delirious cheers of euphoria. Nonetheless, the film's greatest accomplishment is reinvigorating the MCU's two most beloved characters as relevant again. Robert Downey Jr.'s career-defining sassy Stark charisma had been imperceptibly threatening to dip into the quagmire of phoned-in indifference in his last few outings. Here he's back - vivaciously emotive and present, and owning a nuanced redemption arc that we actually buy like nobody's business. Conversely, Chris Evans traces Captain America's dogmatic, unwavering morality and gradual acceptance of his role as propaganda figurehead to darker places than you'd ever imagine, his strained conviction verging on the psychotic. The MCU has largely found its groove in refuting the genre's trends of claustrophobic darkness, but allowing Downey Jr. and Evans to dabble is morbidly fascinating and entirely truthful, and a reminder of just how talented they are. Civil War isn't as taut and punchy as Winter Soldier, or liable to pump you up as much as Guardians of the Galaxy or The Avengers. It's arguably better: the mature instalment needed to keep the genre in check, leaving us genuinely fascinated to see how the franchise proceeds. The fact that it's also furiously fun, and does justice to its dizzying excess of characters and content? Maybe, as Winter Soldier's Baron Strucker proclaimed, we really are in the 'age of miracles.' -9.5/10",9 "The first 25 episodes are beyond words, they are extremely exciting while also being incredibly smart. The characters are unique and likeable, the storytelling keeps you on the edge of your seat, at pretty much all times, and the voice acting is very compelling. Without the need for actionpact scenes Death Note delivers a really exciting, brutal and intense story. All of this is very true for the second half aswell. However, it is dragged down by the fact, that a main character, gets ""swapped"" in a sense with a different character, who essentially is the same character, sadly just with less personality, and a weaker connection to the main character. This ""character swap"", sours the sweet taste of the first half, but it doesn't completely ruin it. Death Note is still really good, for the rest of the show and keeps the quality and expectations skyhigh, all the way to the end with a truly a dramatic finalé.",9 "The show is ok. It's build right, the plot is like every deactivate show with kids... I don't really get a lot of things in the shows. The best example is the building of the Cearchters in the show. The process is too fast and there is not deepness. I think the show was in one derction and suddenly it's changed very fast to another story line that we didn't really intereste to see. The writers try to explain the story in the best way they could but in the way they forgot lot of important thing. I have to say I was impressed by the beginning of the show. But suddenly it's all changed. I think this is the next Riverdale. And if the shoe wants to seccsed the writers got think wildly and more creative about the next seasons.",6 "Such a disappointment. The movie is too long and dwells on the security clearance issue in a melodramatic and disjointed way. What did we know about Oppenheimer at the conclusion? He was a tortured soul. He liked women and was a genius. Did we feel compassion or sympathy for him? No. The over arty editing didn't help, neither the jarring score which punctuated scenes. The audience is left none the wiser about the 'Father of the bomb' nor his motivation or humanity. Clever word play and lingering shots of Murphy wearing the signature wide brimmed hat won't make up for the deficiencies. Such a shame.",2 "Short 12 episode seasons, fun extra episodes, great story, good pacing, awesome characters. My only problem is that at the season 2 finale I felt it was lacking just a little more oompf in comparison to the first season.",9 "How this got 8.5 out of 10 is beyond me. The script is hilarious, and not in a good way. The story line doesn't make sense, with obvious references to the original film but without context, especially in the first half hour. And it was just for the sake of it. Like the last 30 years never happened. The number of times we laughed out loud at the terrible script made it vaguely bearable. Pretty sure it didn't plan of being a comedy, but it's the only reason we made it to the end. A really disappointing ""shouldn't have been made"" sequel. Not following the rave, nostalgia blinkered reviews. An awful movie in its own right.",3 "This new live-action remake plays into the safe route of any reboot: it is an exact copy of the original. This film barely adds anything new, and when it does, the new things barely add anything to the story or the characters. I mean, if it ain´t broke don't fix it I guess, so the story itself, since it is just like the original one, is really good. But there are some minor changes with the songs, the character, and some of the way the film is structured that don't fit well with the film. But, the reason why this film is not nearly as good as the original are the animals themselves. Don't get me wrong, the CGI is OUTSTANDING and beautiful to look at, but the animals barely show any emotions with exception of some, and the scenes that require actual emotions kind of fall flat. Overall, if you want to enjoy some amazing visuals and see the original film from a different way of filmmaking, you will enjoy this film.",4 "Outstanding series, I enjoyed every minute of it. Very good music, original cinematography and interesting story line.",8 "Loved most of the first 22(?) films in the series. Endgame truly sucked. Decent acting, absolutely crap plot. I wish I'd never seen any of the film's in the series now.",3 "The film was beautifully made but Scorcese, DeNiro and Pesci had already made their masterpiece in Goodfellas and Pacino had already made his masterpiece in the Godfather movies so why make another gangster movie, especially about a subject few people remember and even fewer care about anymore? I'm guessing it's because they are all heading for the Nursing home like Frank Sheeran and they wanted a swan song before they checked out. I don't see how all of the rave reviews can save this movie because if you took all of the reviewers and put them in a theater they would barely fill it for one showing. Who is going to fill the theaters after that? Oh well, at least that huge budget provided employment for a lot of people and they can have a merry Christmas.",5 Yo bro this movie confused me bro. I dunno wha happen all a sudden Wanda just bad an doing weird things I understand she wants to bear child but cannot do so but why make fake world where only her and fake child can be it's like those vr adult film thing like I understand givin her a try but one your done a round or two it's just not the same your not in that world anyway I lost track for a sec there but this film is mid bro like at the end of plot we have witch #2 show up why what she doing there what is she doing to my gal Wanda. Anyway stay strong y'all and maybe good gal wonda will come back in her next film.,4 "All technical marvels are accepted, and the film's brutal realism acknowledged. However, the premise that the British high command would give two flying handshakes about the fate of 1600 troopers is historically bordering on the insane. In 1916, from July through November, the Battle of the Somme took place. The British lost 20,000 men ON THE FIRST DAY. The total dead and wounded was one million. The premise of this film completely negates anything that cleaves to accuracy. Kubrick's 'Paths of Glory' from 1957 was far closer to reality than '1917.' Perhaps something resembling this chain of events did occur in WW I, but that would have been the rarest of exceptions. The lasting impression this film imparted to this reviewer was one of absolution; exoneration for stupendous military incompetence, and for the high command's disdain toward those in the trenches.",4 "Generic tv show, i gave 3 star , +2 from my interest in egyptian mythology. American film industry became like fords production line or kpop band factory for movies.",3 "This show could have been so much, yet its so little. The four stars i've given is for set design, costume design and other technicities. Don't get me wrong it's got a great premise ""A show about the supernatural set in the 80s"" First season is okay and that's were it would make sense to cut it short but milking it for more seasons just means your running out of content. Oh damn elevens making stuff float for the fortieth time like okay... and? To the people who enjoy this show for its aesthetic: watch any other show/movie made in the 80s.",5 "Does that line sound familiar ? Well, it's the best way i can describe the girl playing the ""terrorist"" exercising her moves on her newly met friend. There's 3 things that bug me...1: is she acting like this only to test his loyalty to her or, is she doing it just for laughs, or her acting is the result of a bad experience considering the aftermath of her previous relationship ? The movie doesn't answer any of those questions but leaves the viewer's imagination wonder, it gives us the freedom to speculate, freely. The movie portrays an exceptional blend of tragedy and comedy in high doses, one moment you find yourself laughing your a** off and the next you find yourself crying your eyes out. It's like someone's playing with your feelings by setting the rules in opposition while you're jumping from one foot to the next like a jack in the box not knowing what to make of the 2 main characters especially the girl. Or if this were for real, you probably wouldn't know what to make of what's happening around you. Probably. Why did the guy take all that abuse from the girl even though mild in terms of brutality, a couple of slaps here a couple a slaps there, a punch here another one there, one (or more)major hit(s) in the face, i'll never understand, but i can only guess. Anyway, what's keeping this picture together is the acting which is outstandingly done, and what's more it has a rare ""scent"" to it. I mean how many of us can honestly say that ""my girlfriend is this majorly bitch that bullies me whenever she feels like it but i still can't brake up with her"" ? It's a simple yet complex story, unique even told on a linear level between 2 people that accidentally as fate has it are destined to meet each other in odd VERY ODD circumstances, only to experience a so-called relationship that apparently doesn't stand on its own and yet its savior is the essence of the story itself as it unfolds. Odd, isn't it ? Watch this wonderful piece of cinematography and you'll likely to get the point. Thank God I don't have a girlfriend like that, but then again...... Solid 10/10 P.S For anyone who is interested in having a copy of the original story as posted on the internet by Ho-Sik kim, the author who experienced it all in reality, there is an on-going translation of the guy's work made by bumfromkorea. He's up to chapter 12 so far out of the 33 in all, and his work is highly appreciated especially for the fact that he's doing it pro-buono. Copy/paste rules :) Thanks bumfromkorea your work is one of a kind. Just look up the user comments and you'll find his translation there. I would very much appreciate it if the P.S part would be considered as an addition to the original comment instead of a replacement, since i edited it. Thank you.",10 "If you want a movie that showcases special effects over substance, this is a movie to watch. Of course, some of the innovative special effects of the time have since been over-used in just about every movie that followed this one. Otherwise, the characters and story-line are utterly uninspired and unoriginal. Repeated viewings have been rather painful Keanu Reeves is within his element by playing the utterly clueless protagonist (see Bill & Ted). People have often praised the story for raising such existential questions, but I feel the same question was approached and done much more effectively in movies such as The City of Lost Children and Dark City. The Matrix is just simply an over-rated and bloated piece of crap.",2 "Season 1 - 7\10 Season 2 - 7\10 Season 3 - 3\10 Went from being clever, original and witty to awful. The way each character changed between S2 and S3 suggests the writers were completely replaced. It's so bad that Disney could call it Star wars: the umbrella academy. The new ""sparrows"" are especially poorly written, sure the show was always ridiculous, deliberately so, but it had an internal consistency. The characters having just saved the world are now acting like distrustful strangers to one another. The handling of Pages' real life personal changes is badly incorporated, they themself looks desperately unwell such that it's difficult to watch their scenes. I hope 3 is the last season.",5 Although gaitonde wasn't shown as strong in season 2 like in season 1. Guru ji has dominated the season 2 with his stories and talk. sartaj singh is trying his best to save the city. Also some scenes went too far regarding sexual activities. But music and show is haunting. Watch it to be entertained and it will last with cliffhanger.,8 "this second movie in the Captain America franchise was much better than the First Avenger,at least in my opinion.i thought it had more energy and better action.i also thought the uniform was much better,and I liked the villain more.once again the acting is good.Sam Jackson returns as Nick Fury.Scarlett Johansson is back as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, and Anthony Mackie is good as Sam Wilson/Falcon.i also really liked Cobie Smulders(the TV series How I Met Your Mother,and Avengers) as agent Maria Hill.overall,this was just a better film.but again this is just my opinion.for me,Captain America: The Winter Soldier is an 8/10.",8 "John Wick 1 was good! it had a strong plot, good action, overall a good movie, this one is just him killing a krap tone of people and no real stroy line, i got board after about an hour but stuck with it for some reason.., i do not suggest you see this, only reason i watched it is so i can see the 3rd one that i bought on DVD today..",4 After endgame this one is the best thing I have seen so far.better than spider-man & Wandavision. Every episode is better than the last one. And those cliffhangers at the end of the episodes are mind blowing.,7 "If you're expecting a subtle satirical flick, Barbie isn't for you. However, you'll be missing out a quite beautiful and clever movie that talks about womanhood like a few movies do. There are vibrant pink tones all around and the sets are truly exquisite and special. Its very distinctive and well-thought-out look place Barbie amongst one of the most original recent summer blockbusters. A big plate of originality and inspired artistry that unfortunately doesn't fully step away from the fact that is still a corporate movie and that is honestly perceptible every time they leave Barbieland. Gerwig and Baumbach decide not to go quiet this time. Everything seems a bit too loud and too on the nose. For some it might come across as a ""men are trash"" agenda, but for me I wouldn't have it any other way. There are way too many movies being subtle critiques to our sexist society. Barbie is a movie set for everyone to watch, so why be quiet when there's a lot of people listening to you? Gerwig shouts like she is talking to a billion people. And that's because she really is. Margot Robbie was such a great Barbie and was incredibly easy to empathize with her character which proves Robbie's powerful effort. Ryan Gosling was born to play this role and I would love to continue seeing him exploring his goofier side - seriously couldn't stop laughing every time he entered the scene. You can tell everyone had lots of fun doing this movie and how important it was to everyone involved. The final montage of this movie not only made me cry, but reminded how beautiful it is to see my mother and my sister happy and enjoying life. As flawed as it is I'm so happy a movie like Barbie exists and that people all over the world are rushing to the theaters to watch something as important as this. Congrats to you, Greta, you are an amazing and bright soul.",8 I had high expectations (maybe too high). Ellen Page made the show nearly impossible to sit through at times. The rest of the cast was the only thing that kept me watching it.,4 "Based on real incidents of an hostage situation in Iran in 1979, Argo is an Exfil drama of how a good deception worked in favour of not just the hostages but US as a whole. The plot revolves around how a CIA agent brings home 6 US Embassy officials from their hideout in an hostile Iran. The movie is simple and clean, with no extra action or added-thrill moments (except towards the end). A good watch for the acting and direction by the cast and crew, with Ben Affleck showing not much emotions like a typical spy. The best part is- the movie is rightly paced, keeping it short and simple for the viewer to appreciate the tactics employed.",7 "Firstly the positives, the CGI looks good (weirdly tho not the Avatars themselves at times). The nature shots are beautiful and it's clever how they've introduced different types of Avatar people into the planet which we weren't aware of before. Did the war not affect them at all you wonder... It's a simple revenge movie yes, but we all knew that the human army would return. Altho not with Carmela Soprano as their general! Anyway... Where this film fails for me is how long it is but also how it dwells on some scenes for far too long. It's almost like it's so smug with how it looks it forgets to continue with the story. At one point I almost forgot there was a plot happening, because they dwelt for so long on a sub story with a giant whale. The new characters aren't solid either and take valuable screen time away from the main 'heroes' and villain, who are more interesting as protagonists. The children are just so....annoying. The way they talk and interact will date terribly. One of them (Kiri) is totally obsolete but is thrust on us far too much without any real need. The human friend (Spider) also seems contrived and redundant. All in all this film could've been 45 mins shorter and would've been just as good if not better. Makes you wonder what they'll do next.",3 "If you like fantasy/action/ superhero TV shows but got a bit bored of the usual concept of a nobody becomes somebody and safes the world this show might be just right for you. Full of sarcasm, unique characters and a plot with more than one twist yet another binge watching worthy Netflix original. I did not rate it a 9 or 10 simply because the ending was a tad to predictable for my liking.",8 "The best thing about the show is the lead actress. She is born for the role and played it to perfection. The storyline is good if you like teen drama. If you think about story, it's really a mixture of Harry Potter and X-men: a born-again monster, outcast students who have special talents, final showdown between the monster and the ""chosen one"", and the death of the principle (the headmaster). Sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it? Guess it's hard to be original nowadays. Started out really strong and quite a number of twists and turns but overall storyline is not that innovative. But again, I still recommend it for the performance of Ortega. She is exceptional.",7 "I love this show and will maintain that its one of the best shows out there. Was i disappointed by season 4, sure, did it fall short of its previous seasons, sure did it lack substance sure did abby's character who was deceased frequent it way too often definitely however ive decided to view sherlock holistically which means accepting season 4 for what it is, its not the best however its still interesting and filled with suspense it just falls short of the previous seasons which is why i think many dislike it. it definitely makes sherlock depreciate in value as we see him deterriorate. definitely give the first three seasons a watch also having to wait for new episodes made the show really enticing and at that time it was probably a bit hard for me to see season4 for what it was. great show non the less will miss out on great television if you dont watch",9 "The tone of the movie is uneven: The first act is a satire; the second act is more of a coming of age comedy; and the third act is a straight-up war drama. But overall, it's a entertaining comedy. 7/10.",6 "Just saw it and this movie it's just bad and becomes really boring near end. Trailer is very deceiving with all the good parts and the rest it's just bags to fill it. Poor story , terribe plot and this movie can't put any emotions into viewers hart's. There are better ways to spend free time !",5 "I was hoping for a good Spider-Man movie, but this was disappointing. It felt like Marvel said ""what scraps do we have left? Let's put them together and make a movie."" The villain wasn't much of a villain and Tom Holland just has to act like a clumsy fool throughout the movie. This was disappointing. It's almost as bad as Spider-Man dancing while walking down the street.",4 "what made 24 work under Keifer Sutherland reign for me was simple, he was an action hero but not muscle bound he could fight to a decent level. he take a beating if it he get the advantage, that why it works Bauer was pragmatic and did what it takes including torture his foe to keep USA safe. also the way it was set up, following the action in 24 hours was ground breaking and made the action feel special and Keifer performance was spot on as was the cast who worked off him. Chloe O Brain was jack good side a voice of reason who could help him stay sane you need someone like that in jack line off work. hope the new cast keep the core off the show real, but put there spin on it and if Jack Bauer made an appearance that would be the icing on the cake for me.",9 "I don't usually write reviews, and even less often when it is so little that I think of a movie. I am making an exception here. The message (love, acceptance, etc.) that the makers of this movie were so intent on conveying is pretty much undermined by the clichés that I saw here giftwrapped. Nothing matters is a quote from the movie. And they're right. None of this. Not even this movie. And my opinion either. Yet I felt it necessary to voice my feelings. The heroine having a miserable life with shortcomings everywhere, yet deciding not to have it any other way. Well, it is a bit implausible, ridiculous even, don't you think? The actors in the leading roles did an OK job here, hence my 2 star rating. As for the path the director has chosen with special respect to the sudden switches, CGI and all, I must say it has failed to raise, let alone maintain my interest in the movie. It has failed to induce in me genuine empathy towards the characters. I couldn't relate. It's very rare that I can't. It seems to me that the director and whoever gave it a green light have lost sight of what cinema is about. This movie is in a paralell universe trapped and overrated. I do not recommend it.",2 "Nothing else needs said about this movie other than. Magnificent!!!! In my opinion the addition of DeNiro to the already stellar cast makes this the pinnacle of the trilogy. If gangster movies are not your cup of tea you won't like obviously. However if you do then this is THE movie. Again nothing that's not been said before, however to any new generation every confirmation is merited.",10 "The film starts with a medium long shot. After that, we have some energetic sequences. In this film, Spielberg tells the story in such a way that we really and truly feel that we are dealing with a romantic biography with a lot of concentration, and when we realize that its concentration is not that high, it bursts our bubble. When Mitzi leaves the first house with the baby, why should we have a medium long shot? We have such a sequence in Serious Man 2009, where the director takes a long shot correctly and it is a successful sequence. In all the sequences related to the piano, we still have this ridiculous medium long shot. Maybe Spielberg wanted to show off the objective side of things with these mediums,(even more) , or maybe wanted to stay in a special point.but they only cause inconsistency. We have these mediums for all the scenes related to playing the piano and even the second school filming project... Overall, the movie needed more softness. Of course, Sam's love affair is properly executed. Why is Sam's father willing to help him to such an extent when he knows that his job is entertainment? This movie needed a stronger emotional soul (at least for a few seconds) or maybe more darkness, not in the conclusion, but in the praise of the emotions. But again, it works very well as a tough romantic drama in the face of crossing over the defined realities as much as possible (not in all cases) and while it may not be possible to live it, there are always people who know that perfect.4/75/5.",9 "For an adult, I rate this move 2 out of 10 stars. Very bad. It's designed to appeal to small children only. It's like watching a pinball machine; totally random headache action. Nothing makes any sense. For instance, a guy throws an arrow....and it makes 500 zig-zags and kills 40 people at once. Or a guy is riding on some plasma-platform....and the thing just automatically knows exactly where to go, and it automatically transforms itself and attaches to whatever it needs to. I mean it's like if I said ""I feel like going 10 miles to the store""....and then my chair just flew me there in 10 seconds. Totally random, stupid, and headache. The plot is weak. The characters are very shallow and dull. Out of 2 hours....there was maybe 10 minutes of decent plot or character interaction. But for this movie to be rated 8.1....I mean come on, people. We know it's rigged. We know they closed the message-boards to stifle differing opinions. They want the critics and media to dictate what's good and what's bad. This movie was complete crap.",2 "'Venom (2018)' is usually just fine, but it never comes close to being properly engaging or even all that entertaining. It just constantly skirts the line between being pretty decent and just downright boring. This - combined with its overall weak, poorly paced narrative and its general technical choppiness (including noticeably 'jumpy' editing and several scenes that are strangely blurry, to the point that it seems like the focus-puller might've been asleep) - means that the overall experience isn't all that good. The film certainly lands with a whimper rather than a roar. It actually takes ages for Brock to become the eponymous big boy and, when he does, the dynamic between him and his newfound companion never comes close to being fully formed or even consistent. This means that we can't really relate to - or care for - either of them and that their motivations don't really make all that much sense. Their relationship is supposed to be the driving force of the story, yet it doesn't naturally evolve and never comes close to being compelling. To make matters worse, the whole thing culminates in an awful, CG mess of a finale that's literally difficult to watch, much less comprehend. It inexplicably goes back on several core conceits simply to have our symbiotic lead emerge as a more 'traditional' hero, despite the piece being billed as a decidedly 'villainous' affair. The feature is pretty tame in general, to be honest. It all just comes across as more of poor man's 'Upgrade (2018)' than anything else. Don't even get me started on the absolute joke of an end-credits scene. 4/10.",4 "Here comes the question. Is it cancelled ? Almost 2 years since the last episode, come on... I just liked every episode of it, so... can't wait for its renewal ! My first rating was 10/10, but after the second season which was so weak, 6 is the maximum I could give overall. What a disappointment . One of my favorite shows, and I could barely stand till the end of each episode of the 2nd season. Awful ""development"".",6 "I can not say more, it is simply a copy, if the director had admitted the inspiration he would not call it a copy, but he never did, this is horrible.",4 "I was incredibly hyped for this movie and thought the movie was mostly great until they subtle racial motivations became thrown in your face by the killmonger character. The saving grace of this movie was the excellent acting by everyone involved. They actually made strong female characters without having to make the male characters pathetic by comparison. the dormalaj (female guard) stole the show in my opinion and made wonder woman look second rate, they did so while not making the male counterparts look pathetic....take a note star wars. however the movie was nearly ruined by the racial agenda. While there was racism toward white people in pushing that white people of today are somehow evil and accounted for the deeds of their ancestors, it was far more racist toward black people. They made the black characters killmonger, his father, black panthers love interest and a few others very very racist toward black people. They kept referring to all black people as one people and brothers and sisters. That they were enslaved and oppressed. All black people are not the same, every black person is their one person and has their own beliefs and experiences. To lump all the black people of the world together simply because they have the same skin color is quite racist. Would you lump south koreans in with people of thailand? no because even though they share similarities, they are in fact very different people. Would you lump white Russians in with White americans or Austrailians? No because they are entirely different people. Skin color is the most common character distinction in people but it is also the most insignificant. Not to mention wakanda was shown to exist in the heart of africa, slaves were never or extremely rarely taken from inner countries they were mostly taken from coastal countries. further to that point, by enlarge slaves were sold to sailors by african tribes. It was common practice for warring tribes to take slaves as spoils of war and they would sell them to ships that would come by on the trade routes. Slaves were taken by force at times by colonizers but this was not needed most of the time as tribes warred and took slaves to use as commodities not only with white sailors but also with other african tribes. At least for the most part the character of black panther stays away from this and tries to distinguish that black people all over the world are not his people, his people are those of wakanda. it was just terrible writing. People go to see fantasy movies to get away from the real world and it is just terrible to see identity politics in a fantasy movie.",3 Barely watchable Bollywood standard movie. Hemsworth tried but failed to save this tripe.,3 "Aamir Khan and his Production Team does it again! Secret Superstar is the most emotional family drama I've seen in a very long time! Advait Chandan has crafted such a beautiful family drama with a very important message on dreams! Advait Chandan should take a bow for writing an almost flawless screenplay! The story about a 15 year old girl who dreams of becoming a singer but her strict father comes in the way of her dream coming true. The premise is simple but it's told in a very compelling way! From the first scene to the last scene you are immediately invested in the story of Insia. In between the main story line, the subplots are what keep the movie compelling. Advait Chandan has made a very impressive debut as a screenwriter and as a director! His realistic depiction of a highly orthodox Muslim family living in a small town, teenagers who wish to follow their dreams no matter what the circumstances are, and the infinite love and support a mother provides is outstanding. The most emotional aspect of Secret Superstar is the beautiful bond between Insia and her mother. This is one of the most beautiful relationship between a mother and a daughter ever put onto screen, their bond will bring tears to your eyes. This bond had a high chance of coming of as melodramatic and sentimental, but Advait Chandan doesn't let that happen and that marks a very strong quality in the director! Zaira Wasim is truly a superstar! Her performance as a girl with aspirations and dreams of becoming a singer is praiseworthy. She carries the entire film with her shoulders and you connect with her from the first scene of the film. In the role of her mother, Meher Vij does a flawless job. Her performance as a timid and supportive mother will bring tears to your eyes. In the role of Insia's father, Raj Arjun is fantastic. His expressions with minimal dialogue will terrify you and you are immediately disgusted by his actions as an abusive and discouraging father. The rest of the supporting cast lends amazing and strong support. Now let's talk about Aamir Khan's performance. What can I say about him, it's no surprise that he delivered a phenomenal performance! It blows me away to see him transforming from a grounded character that he played in Dangal to a character like Shakti Kumarr. His performance as a cheap, arrogant, and full of himself music composer is out of this world! Aamir Khan will leave you in splits every time he's on screen! Mr. Perfectionist, take a bow! Music by Amit Trivedi is the sole of the film! The composition and orchestration of each song is fantastic! The songs are situational and they fit perfectly with the overall tone of the film! The placement of the songs are perfect and they don't feel out of place or unnecessary. Songs like 'Meri Pyaari Ammi', 'Nachdi Phira', and 'Main Kaun Hoon' are melodious and lovely songs. As far as my flaws with Secret Superstar are concerned, they are very minor. The pacing in a few scenes is very inconsistent sometimes, particularly in the first half of the film. While you are invested in the characters from the very first scene, the scenes afterwards are a bit slow and those scenes slightly dip the overall pace of the film. Overall, Secret Superstar is an equally heartbreaking and touching film that you should see with your family. Aamir Khan yet again proves how perfect of an artist he is and no matter what he will always make a great film! This film is an inspiring adventure towards achievement, a beautiful bond between a mother and a daughter, and the harsh reality of having an abusive father who prevents your dream coming true. This film gives an important message to parents that no matter what the circumstances are, you should let your child follow their heart and let them achieve what they wish to achieve in life! I will give Secret Superstar a 9 out of 10 and I definitely recommend you go see this movie with your family!",9 My 3 stars are for the soundtrack. I have forgotten the count how many times i have fallen asleep while watching this just to wake up to some good music.,3 "Unstoppable If you drive your sweetheart around in a car that stalls, it's imperative that you avoid railway crossings when there's a runaway train about – unless, of course, you want to end up like a tragic 1950s teen love song. Fortunately, young love goes unscratched in this thriller. Unfortunately, a number of Pennsylvania towns are not as fortunate. When a runaway train carrying hazardous material escapes the rail yard, it's up to an experienced engineer (Denzel Washington) and an inexperienced conductor (Chris Pine) to put aside their differences and slow it down. Assisting them is a headstrong yardmaster (Rosario Dawson) who hopes to derail the locomotive in a sparsely populated area. Though overflowing with taut action sequences, this retelling of an actual event lacks the character development and steady camera work needed to make a real impact. Besides, wouldn't it be easier to just get one of the train's hobos to stop it? (Yellow Light)",5 "I watched this because everyone kept posting about it on Facebook. After watching it, I can't understand what all the hype was about. It was an okay movie about an apocalyptic end (not very original). The storyline wasn't super well developed for most characters, and they stuck around about as often as in the walking dead. They never showed us the creatures which was hugely disappointing. The premise of the monsters was incredibly silly-things you can't see or you'll kill yourself-really? Don't buy into this gimmick.",5 "It was like a little kids comedy movie. One of the movies that the trailer is better than the movie itself. It wasn't that good, i actually expected more, again tom hardy plays the loonatic guy.",3 "Trailer is misleading, a lot of time wasted, wanted to stop watching at least 4 times. all of the movie is bad except of the last 25 minutes which actually grabbed my attention for a bit. total disappointment. and what made me even more mad is that they casted Scarlett Johansson and she only acted for like 15 mins or so.",5 "Jennifer Lawrence gives a great performance here. I was worried about her Russian accent, but it was authentic and never took me out of the movie. She really does put herself out there in this, so if you're sensitive to nudity then this is not your movie. I was very impressed with the direction, too. There are some really intense moments in the film that had my heart racing and put me on the edge of my seat. This is an overall well made spy movie with great performances and great moments of tension. There is a section in the middle of the film that is very slow and drags the pacing on, and there are moments of poor editing throughout, but I still had a great time with this film, and you should see it when it comes out.",10 "One of the best ever crime thriller movie in Tamil. BGM score by Gibran another level 👍👌👌 Especially the Piano music... Hint on who is the killer while watching the movie requires serious attention and the director's (Mr. Ram Kumar) nuances in screenplay on guessing the killer till the end is very much applaudable..👌👌 Successful one year completion of Screening this 🎥 👏👏",10 "Soviets, Americans, Information & Broadcasting ministry .... too many conspiracies and conspiracy theories, add a weak and convoluted script into the mix, and the result is a good-looking concoction of confusion. Is it a period piece about cinema or a love story or thriller? What is it? The set design and art direction are good and give a feel of the era. The costumes of male characters are also good, but the costumes of the female characters seemed too modern most of the time-same issue with the dialogue. It started with a bang but nose-dived and crashed by the 8th episode, and the last two episodes test your patience. For a slight relief - Amit Trivedi's music is outstanding and sounds like the Bollywood music of the 1950s.",4 "Lots of pretty colors and violence and sex to keep the sheeple happy. Most of the characters are the mainstream American stupid that seems to drive most movies and tv anymore. A few act like they have brains, but most are just props for the lazy writing of the day that can only produce conflict and suspense by stupidly falling into one trap to the next.",7 Shame really it had potential. But for me there was not enough premise or fleshing out of characters to make it compelling. Pockets of humour were good though and Ryan Reynolds rocks as usual.,4 Must watch it! The best movie of 2019........... Very well picturized movie. The crew have done really well.,10 "Without duplicating much of what is already posted, Superbad is a great ride. Jonah Hill hits a number of clever and vulgar high notes. Michael Cera does George Michael from Arrested Development, with a dark twist. The new guy - Christopher Mintz-Plasse - steals many scenes with his Stephen Hawking-as-a-drunken-teen looks and dialog. Seth Rogen and a whole cast of characters pop up and help keep things moving while the movie drags a little during the middle. Anyone with memories of friendship, the awkwardness toward the opposite sex, struggles to obtain alcohol as a minor, and about 50 other high school rites of passage will get a kick out of this. Think the 40 year old virgin meets Sixteen Candles.",9 "Overall this is a solid show and worth watching. The first 7 episodes are outstanding and will leave you on edge. However the last three episodes are lack luster and like many Stephen king shows before, the ending is a bit weak and overall kind of lame. If you have seen many of kings mini series before you know they start great but Peter out in the end. This follows suit for sure. The acting is top notch as well as directing. The show does not have non stop cussing like so many shows today and the gore is not over the top. Pretty much a good combination and it wont make you cringe too bad. Overall worth watching and binge worthy. If you like king films, you will enjoy it...",8 "Pathetic movie, pathetic Bollywood. Pathetic movie, pathetic Bollywood. Pathetic movie, pathetic Bollywood. Pathetic movie, pathetic Bollywood.",1 "It was entertaining and very watchable, but left me wanting more and not in a good way. I'm not usually one for wanting Hollywood to make more movies so they make more money, (ticked about the multi-Hobbits and things like that) but I feel this one should have been cut in two, given us a movie with a longer period to cause the break and a longer period to deal with it. It would have been really great if they could have had all their titles to work with, F4 and such. They should've split the two between Stark and Capt. and given us better perspectives of both.... and for crying out loud, the why... I mean don't get me wrong, they had better reasons than BvS, but there needed to be more meat to the cause of the divide. It seemed shallow and forced, too easy to make happen, like no one was trying not to make it happen. If I were losing my best friends/long time teammates, I would've fought harder to keep them together. While I do want more, I think with what they had, Spider-man and how they added him, could have been left out. It made the time with him cheesy and the suspension of disbelief more difficult to achieve. In a nutshell, holes.... it left you with and added holes and more... Okay, so I've ragged on it, but in truth, if you go in expecting another MCU movie with its comedy and action mix, you'll get it, and for that it gets a 6. However, if you go in wanting the depth of story that was in the books, you'll leave as disappointed as I was. 'nuff said.",4 "The movie kicks off with a very promising dark, ironic tone. But that promise isn't sustained throughout the movie.",5 "I am a cinephile. History of cinema 1 & 2 as electives in college. That being said, I understand that movies exist in certain realms...dramatic realism, comedy, farce, noir, science fiction, documentary, etc. I wanted so much to love this movie; as maybe a farcical tribute. And in my lifetime I have rarely, perhaps twice before, walked out of a movie. This was one of those rare instances where I did. I fell asleep due to the incoherent, barely sustainably adjacent scenes. It felt like a very long, very pink, advertisement for the much beloved ""Barbie Doll"" of my childhood. Hello Christmas, 2024.",2 "Hannibal's visual and physical appearances are a work of art. Wills struggles throughout the seasons are showed in great detail. I love this series it may be graphic and gory at times but what I truly love is the characters growth and development. If anyone loves murder and a little friendship/romance I would recommend this show. The show even has an amazing plot twist in every season that somehow shocks me every time I rewatch it. Hannibal and wills relationship is showed in amazing view played by Hugh and mads. I really love this show and at times can be obsessed with it, it's like a comfort show in a weird way. All I have to say is it's an actual work of art. Just watch it.",9 "I went into this movie with a very open mind. I am not a Potter-head, but I am not totally ignorant either, I heard about a horcrux, I know who Dumbledore is ... and I like magical fantasy movies ... but I have not been that non-entertained in a long time. The characters all felt distant to me, could not relate, as if I had missed a prequel or something. Hence I ended up not caring about the convoluted plot that felt like the old Potter problem: too many things in one book trying to squeeze into one movie. I found myself checking for the run time of the movie in the middle to see when I can go. The CGI and set pieces were great eye candy, which is a total waste when the audience lost track or simply does not care anymore. The creature design felt very uninspired.",3 "This is one of the best movie in my life. I think this movie will rank in the top at Imdb. I'm a Musican But I like this movie so much. Raihan Ahmed (Bron 12-07-2003) is a Bangladeshi musical artist. Aged 18, He was born and brought up in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

He never frustrated in his work. At a very young age he opened a band which name is Raihan Music & Media. He always believe in his work and his main vision becoming greatest artist in Bangladesh.",10 "It's a great dramatization of the real events in Communist controlled Ukraine. The timing of its release was amazing . . . Showing ineffective masks and the normal government tyranny in 1986, that has now taken over the US government. This show explains to people how Comrade Biden's government will continue to work, for those that didn't already know. In 1986, the Russians already understood that the Communist system was horrific. Americans haven't learned that lesson well enough, yet.",8 "Well here is a detailed review. Direction was average. Editing was poor. Bgm again is poor. Story is good tries to keep you on the edge but you still fast forward it at many places just because of poor editing. Character development of some characters should have been thorough. You can't just gave a sharp turn to a story without proper braking. Its a story not a race. Acting wise the DSP falls short. SP guy is good he looks like a tough cop. Again acting could've been a lot better. Could've been a great movie only if more homework was done. Like the behaviour of killers serial killers I mean. 6 on 10 for me.",6 "Modern war films have a number hurdles to overcome. Firstly, gone of the days of the more fictional adaptions of infamous war time battles/moments. It would feel churlish in a modern world to play the film as a ""jolly boys outing"", a style that was (sometimes) employed right up to the early 80s. This film has a serious tone throughout, and rightly so, however this affects my second point. For some unknown reason Nolan has held on to the notion that we must employ every single ""famous"" actor of the current age, including a teenage heartthrob musician. This tends, I feel, to cause problems. Whilst Nolan perhaps may argue that the screen time for each star is justified by telling the story of Dunkirk from the land, sea and air, I feel it falls into the trap of blockbuster war films of the 70s in that every star has an equal slightly over dramatised part. Thirdly and lastly, by trying to do the story justice and or give screen time to the many stars involved we have a film that feels more like a docu-drama at times (which it is not) and it loses sight of connecting the audience with the characters, it ultimately spreads itself too thin. It's not a bad film, but it doesn't quite pull off what is an incredibly difficult task, especially with the gravity of the subject involved.",6 Only slightly better flick from the Sandler factory is just watchable as a summer movie and during the flight to Corfu. Silly plot/story and the whole thing relies on not to the plot but to wisecracks and some silly situations. The ending is a bit rushed. The chemistry between the leads is decent and saves a lot.,5 "This film was so boring. There are one or two moments where I actually enjoyed the film but I found most of it predictable and boring. The return of the same villein and continuation of using him is in my opinion, lazy, and the directors decision to create a new fire tribe after this is like he has gotten two films mixed up, making Jake the air bender instead of focusing on trying to stop the sky people. I will however say that the new creatures were beautiful and Pandora was breathtaking. I will also give props to the actors too as they had to spend years on the project and learn how to hold their breath for long periods of time.",4 "Season 1 was excellent from how 13 reasons why Hanna cracked and it made sense. Just 1 different moment could have changed the outcome but 13 reasons apparently were just too much for her and she checked out. Granted I don't believe any person that young would give in so easily but with hormones going nuts and getting raped.... maybe not everyone could cope, I get it. Cut to S3 and we get a new character not even close to being attractive as Hanna and she apparently is narrating the show? Like a brand new character is telling the story...sure... Bryce's life is garbage now as it should be but the show is trying to give him a ""good side"" except then he goes and blows out a former friend's knee in football just because he thinks he's dating his ex... like what? I thought he was a changed man... terrible writing. And... there is no 13 reasons why Bryce was killed so the title of the show isn't even relevant anymore. The show has turned into a parody of itself. There were magical moments in Season 1 and this has taken a steaming pile all over those moments. I'm shocked season 4 is even happening after this terrible, awful season. I'm going to finish this junk off simply based on closure, but that's it. I won't come back for 4. Hanna was the best part of the show anyways and even S2 was a stretch.",8 Easily one of the best shounen out there season 3 steals the whole show and can't wait for season 5 .,9 "In theater we typically sit back, relax and then watch movie, but this time rather, it looks like we are in a class to understand complex science lessons such as Schrödinger equation or Quantum physics. Interstellar was the first film for me in which the need of pen and paper arose. Regarding knowledge and entertainment: Little bit of education but 0 for entertainment. One must watch movies like Pirates or Avenger to neutralize hang over of the movie like this. During the starting credit the film should show Disclaimer like: ""Only for science people"". We are aware of the astronomy terminology used in the film like event horizon, time dilation, black hole, Einstein theory of relativity etc. but not all. Movie fails to entertain many of the viewers.",4 "I thought it was a well made film, decent twist at the end but it's no where near as much of a ""masterpiece"" as some fanboys are making it out it be.",6 "Death Note has a very interesting premise with concepts and ideas that pose some very philosophical, ideological, ethical and moral questions. Basically, if you had the power to end a criminals life, would you and could you do it? To go on a secret crusade in order to get rid of all the evil in the world. Light is essentially playing God in a human world, which is undoubtedly going to bring consequences and problems. Experiencing Light's character development and his transformation is honestly one of the most fascinating aspects of the show. This along with the cat and mouse game between Light and L, are the most entertaining and fascinating things about it. The show makes you question whether Light's actions are justified or not. It always impressed me how with each episode that passed, the plot would get more and more interesting. It's a very engrossing show that keeps you engaged, anticipating the next thing. Death Note is an essential and unique anime that needs to be experienced. Style/Aesthetic: The art style is pretty edgy, dark and gritty with a little bit of a hazy smoky filter at times. It's pretty typical to mid-late 2000's anime. But it's really well conceptualized and thought out and that's what makes it stand apart from the others that came out around the same time. The animations were great, no complaints. Story/Plot: This is why you watch Death Note. The story is everything in this show. All the ups, the downs, the unexpected twists and turns, the reveals, the twists, and just seeing how everything plays out is a spectacle to watch. It's basically one of the best chess matches you will ever experience, only instead of chess pieces, it's with people's lives. Seeing how Light and L try to one up each other is honestly one of the most entertaining things in the show. Characters: The characters are amazing. Each wonderfully defined by their specific personality/trait and filled with depth and substance. Seeing how they develop throughout the show is honestly one of the main reasons why you watch it. Light's character development is insane. L is a wonderfully conceptualized character who is always testing and competing with Light at every move. The Shinigami character concepts are awesome. Ryuk's character design is amazing. He's cockeyed and has a huge grin but also looks pretty scary at times with his intimidating presence. He's also the one that brings a lot of humor to the show, providing most of the comic relief. World/Setting: Most of the worlds aesthetic in Death Note isn't really anything amazing since most of it takes place in buildings, rooms or streets. It's more so the amount of detail and art style of the world that makes it interesting. The Shinigami world was honestly the most stand out and intriguing aspect in terms of setting. I wanted to know more about what goes on with the Shinigami in their world. Dialogue: The dialogue is clever, sharp, quick-witted and brilliantly written. It's pretty dialogue heavy, so if you're someone that needs constant action or visuals going on, you might get bored or restless at times. But still, it's very engaging and hardly ever boring. Soundtrack/Music: The soundtrack beautifully compliments the overall tone and mood of the show perfectly. I'm not the biggest fan of the op's, they sound pretty generic.",9 "It's really not that good. You can tell theres been a lot invested in it. But it's just...random. theres cohesion. I thought this would be something like a fantasy version of Vikings. Or even if it wasn't, its gotta be good if it's got above 8! Trust me this is a load of crap. The best episode is the last. Everything prior to that is just crap. You could miss an episode and still not missed anything. Even though it's not crafted clearly and can be hard to follow because it doesn't any hint about what timelines are, which is particularly important for those completely naive to the witcher franchise. Which is a shame. It reminds me of walking dead half way on its decline. You really wont gain much by watching it if you're clueless to the witcher. But if you're a witcher fan it probably is satisfactory. But is that good enough? The directing is crap. And the writing is just bizarre and untenable.",5 "It's okay. The premise was good: some strange creatures that make you want to kill yourself, when you see them, but it was just executed very badly. The premise could have been expanded upon something great, but it turned out to be just yet another A Quiet Place and The Happening. The story is boring, predictable and stretched way too long. With a running time of two hours, it's just a dull watch. The characters were non-memorable, there was no character development. The plot was very straight-forward and I could just guess every coming event. Also the end was very anti-climatic. My biggest concern was the plot holes and just leaving so many things unexplained. Like, what were the creatures? All we see is just wind blowing. What did people see, when they saw the ""creatures""? Why did some go mad and kill themselves, while others went mad and killed others? There was a little hint, that the people not killing themselves had escaped from an asylum, but why? If you're mad already, the creatures just make you homicidal? Why weren't birds (and apparently other animals) affected by the creatures? What happened to the two characters who stole the car? Why did the main characters have to go into the river, when they could have just walked the shoreline? What did the characters eat for 5 years? It's not like they were growing their own food. Why couldn't the creatures come inside buildings? If you can get past things like this, it's fairly watchable, if you have nothing else to do. But if there's some other movie you're interested about, watch that instead.",6 "And I think the actors were game. At least capable, but the writers gave them very stupid things to do. In one episode, two of the kids do things that were unbelievably stupid, that endangered everyone. In the previous episode, the other kid does something incredibly stupid, as well. In the original LIS, Will might do something not very smart, usually goaded by Dr. Smith, but he never put everyone in grave danger because of it, nor did you ever think Will was stupid. These kids do things, not because they're goaded, but because they're stupid. So you must wonder, how did these kids, who seem to lack simple common sense, get chosen as a part of a family to go into space? And to top it off, the Dr Smith character in the original was kind of a likable unlikable character, whereas this one, played by Parker Posey, just seems to be evil. Not fun.",5 "Comparing to films like silence of lamps, Hannibal series...saw etc ...its equally good....some fools can't understand the quality of this movie",10 "This is the most original show I have seen in a long time. So many things work so well to make this show a hit. The basic premise is like this. Imagine if they filmed the show ""The Office"" but hired a normal guy and told him it was an actual workplace. I mention The Office because it has the pacing and humor of that show. The actors are great, especially the guy that plays the judge and the lady who plays the bailiff. The other characters are all unique and work together to create a great ensemble. James Marsden rounds out the cast playing an over the top version of himself that has made me laugh out loud. Definitely binge worthy.",8 "Amazing show, just started watching it today after have put it off for so long. I just did not Think it was for me but boy was I wrong! I'm still at season 1, but enjoying it. My only thing is who did they have to make Lucas sooo anoying! Everytime he opens his mouth i am really really annoyed! Anyways, besides that, so far it's great",8 "Prior to the release of The 40 Year Old Virgin, it is likely that few people knew the name Judd Apatow. Now, just three years later, that name has become almost a stamp of comedy quality, with such films as Knocked Up and Superbad following on the heels of The 40 Year Old Virgin. Now, the Apatow steamroller moves forward with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and once again it has mined comedy gold, with lots of laughs, but also, as with many of the previous film's from Apatow's company, a nice streak of sweet romance to go along with the laughs. Fogetting Sarah Marshall focuses on Peter Bretter (Jason Segel), a Hollywood composer who's girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), is the star of a CSI-style police procedural series. Jason is a bit of a layabout (who also isn't afraid to walk around his apartment naked), and Sarah has decided she has had enough of him, so she is breaks up with Peter, leaving him in a seemingly unending pool of despair. To try to take his mind of Sarah, he takes an impromptu vacation to Hawaii, but quickly discovers, to his horror, that Sarah is also at the same hotel as him, with her new boyfriend, recently on the wagon British rocker Aldous Snow (Russell Brand). However, while doing his best to avoid Sarah, Peter finds himself falling for a hotel staff member, Rachel Jansen (Mila Kunis). As with such films as The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a comedy that isn't afraid to mine the more vulgar for comedy, nor does it shy away from some rather frank nudity, including plenty of footage of star Segel (who is also the screenwriter). The upside is that, unlike many other sophomoric comedies these days, the raunchier material actually produces laughs. Much of the film's best humor comes from Brand's performance as off the wall Snow. The character has lots of great scenes and lines, capitalizing on the characters seeming insatiable libido. Forgetting Sarah Marshall doesn't just provide lots of laughs, it also features an involving and touching romance between Peter and Rachel. Both Segel and Kunis have a nice chemistry between them that fuels an involving romance. As the film progresses, we can't help but root for the characters to find themselves together in the end. In addition to the previously mentioned Brand, the cast of Forgetting Sarah Marshall gives us both great laughs and characters we can be involved with. Segel proves to be relatively low on insecurity as he puts himself almost completely on display (literally). His Peter is an character whose rather unassuming nature wins you over. Kristen Bell makes the films titular character at times apparently self-involved, but also someone who has a soft spot for her ex-boyfriend. Kunis' Rachel is a character that is both no-nonsense and full of sweetness. In the end, Forgetting Sarah Marshall proves to be another winner from ""Team Apatow"", and belongs right next to the previous hits from his creative team. If you are looking for both laughs and a dash of romance, look no further than Forgetting Sarah Marshall.",8 "Nolan is a filmmaker who actually never cared for mimetic, emotional and ethical honesty, and it seems that for the last couple of years with every new movie he's been sinking deeper into pure escapism - a tendency culminating in ""Inception"", an epitome of what might be called postmodern pseudo-art-for-pseudo-art's-sake. Nolan's works are known to be structurally sophisticated. The question is : Who needs another structurally sophisticated action strip masquerading as a cinematic essay on human nature, ethics, philosophy ... ? Many of us seem to do, judging by this site's reviews. In the end, we get what we deserve, thanks to Mr. Nolan, who is the real Joker here, playing a cat-and-mouse game with audience all over the world. Although there's at least one crucial difference between him and his character : he wouldn't burn the stack of money that ""The Dark Knight"" earned him.",5 "I don't know what to call this ,i feel dumb for watching this how could anyone enjoy something this I Honestly hate ly self for watching this This show is just bad Poor plot strange acting i like a show where people say what they're supposed to say the dialogue is just poorly written.",1 "So much going for this show. Drama, comedy, action. All the characters bring their own little piece of a broken family puzzle. The bickering and then backing up is so reminiscent of any family. Their acceptance of each other is beautiful. Great soundtrack. Just loving it. Five and Klaus are standouts. Bring on season 4!",8 "Glass onion screenplay deserves at least an oscar nomination. It is as amazing and entertaining as knives out but on a bigger scale with a lot more detail. The performance of Daniel Craig is excellent. However, some members of the cast could have done better when it comes to their performance, just like in the first movie. The dialogue is very interesting to the extent where you have to listen to every single word said during the conversations between the characters. I thought that after an amazing first movie it was impossible to do a second one that could satisfy the audience as much. Rian Johnson did it again.",10 "This is one of those movies that made me want never again to trust or even read what the ""professional"" critics have to say, particularly after I encouraged a few friends (or so they were before seeing the film), to see it with me. Gal Gadot may be pretty and someone to watch out for on a battlefield, but she's not very impressive as an actor, particularly when viewed in the company of other more experienced players such as Chris Pine and Robin Wright. You can take the better episodes of Lynda Carter's 1970s TV series or just about any of 2015's Agent Carter (with Hayley Atwell), and you'll find more impressive acting and a touch of humour as well. I enjoy good superhero movies and admittedly I don't expect the writing and story twists employed in this genre to be stellar; however, even a Gail Gadot with super acting powers couldn't save this one. The back story at the start of the film is passably interesting, but then the story just degenerates into good guys versus Nazis, which ""has been done"" more than a few times already. The writing, such as it is, is flat and the overuse of CGI makes the film appear even worse. The end (guess who wins) was a relief.",2 "It's a great series. At times, it feels there's an odd pacing where you can get lost in the chronological order, but all is explained in due time. Excellent acting displayed throughout. I definitely want to see way more of this series. I think it was a great way to launch Geralt's adventures.",9 "The film is good and is considered a very reasonable production by Netflex, but the content of the story is somewhat illogical because the lives of many people are sacrificed for the sake of one person .. even though the participating soldiers are forced to do what they do , the film gives you the sense that Killing them is a good thing .. Also the end is not clear,.. the scene was foggy. But all came this is excellent action movie and It lacks some moral aspect and feelings",7 "To be honest, I've never been a fan of traditional Indian movies with the cheesy love stories and frustrating songs. This movie was a breath of fresh air. It's good to see filmmakers take a more rational and smart approach and really bring out a story in a way it's supposed to be told. There was much more art in this movie than any other Hindi movie I've seen in a really long time. I think Anurag Kashyap has really taken the trouble to create something worth appreciating in this movie and I'm looking forward to the second part.",8 "This show started strong, but ultimately it never delivered on the promise of its first episode. What's the point of a bad-ass monster hunter if his monster hunting takes a back-seat to a truly convoluted story involving more kingdom names than I can keep track of? Each episode after the first had more and more characters introduced and it was tiring to try to figure out which ones ultimately mattered to the story. And forget about remembering anyone's name! On top of that I came into this series with maybe eighteen minutes of playtime in one of the first Witcher games several years ago, so I was very much in the dark regarding the lore of the world, and the show-runners' decision to LEAVE me there was fatally flawed IMO. Now that I have finished the first season I am left with way too many questions and no answers outside of spending hours on google doing research. And truth be told, I just don't care enough to bother. 4/10 Stars. Maybe it would be better if I was already into the franchise.",4 Would have been good if they had left put all the PC crap and the liberal bullying.,1 "This was an over the top stylized adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel. I should have known better because I have not cared for Baz Luhrmann's movies. The cinematography was great, costumes were superb, I even liked the Gatsby mansion because I think that is what Gatsby thought Daisy would like. I'm not a big fan of Leo Diaprio, even less so of Toby Maguire. To me the only bright spot in the casting was Carey Mulligan who I thought fit the part well and she sure is beautiful. I nearly gave up on the movie about 1/2 way through and I rarely ever abandon a movie. It was so garish I couldn't find the story for all of the flash and absurdity. But I stuck with it. Four stars is about all I can offer for this one.",4 "Show is very bland without Ashneer. Could've replaced Namita Thapar,,,,, She isn't adding any value to the show right now,,,,, Ashneer was my favourite from the second episode, because like others I too thought of him as a very rude entrepreneur in the beginning. But he was the only one who was serious among all, and also Peyush Bansal, he too is a great entrepreneur. Aman Gupta also on point. A brand ""Recode"" came in this season and wasn't given any investment just because it was their friend's company's rival, but that's not how this show should work right. Last time Hammer and now with this brand. Bring Ashneer in any one of the episodes and trust me that episode's trp will sky rocket🚀...",1 "It was a CGI-fest with a lot of buildings breaking and cool looking beasts. The story wasn't very deep or meaningful, but it had some interesting characters. I liked most scenes with Kowalski, the comedy relief and support character, it felt like he fit very well in the movie. The main character, Mr. Scamander, was very weird most of the time. He didn't talk a lot and while he didn't, he looked scared to death. It's nice seeing some wizardry again after the break from Harry Potter.",7 "If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog :) I went to this movie not expecting much, but it never crossed my mind that I would be watching a film as bad or worse than The Nun. Honestly, going back, I was too easy on the latter since I didn't exactly give it a massively negative review, which it surely deserves. However, Annabelle Comes Home really tries its best to be even worse. I hate it. I truly do. The horror genre has been exponentially growing, and it's one of the two most popular genres right now (comic-book movies are the other), but this cheap, bland, cliche, predictable, and forgettable class of horror films is genuinely starting to annoy and frustrate me. The Conjuring Universe became just a set of silly spin-offs with entities that have no interest whatsoever and filled with extremely under-developed characters. This is the third movie about Annabelle. Three films that address the powers of a freaking doll. Three! Very few people liked the first one, the prequel was admittedly a pleasant surprise, but this one is just atrociously bad. There's not even a story. The whole movie is based on repeating almost laughable jump scares sequences. Literally, it's all some sort of variation of the following: Character walks down the hall -> A strange noise occurs-> Character slowly follows that noise -> Score starts to become louder -> Character checks something and camera closes in on the actor's face -> Score becomes heavier and louder with the introduction of bass -> Another noise occurs behind the character -> Camera pans with the character and nothing happens -> Character continues to check on something -> Another noise, another pan, nothing again -> Score is reaching its climax -> Character continues doing the same thing -> Final noise, pan, and then one out of the two predictable jump scares happen: BOO! or Fake! ... BOO! -> These are accompanied by a ridiculously loud sound that everyone in the theater is already bracing for because, guess what, everyone knows it's coming -> Cut -> Repeat. Except for the first 15-20 minutes, which are used to solely provide backstory to the three main characters, every single scene is an uninspired, unimaginative, anticipated, and tedious build-up to a jump scare that heavily relies on an exaggeratedly loud sound, and someone screaming. There's no real narrative besides some character backstories which also have their own issues, especially one that involves an attempt at the start of a silly romance. Gary Dauberman tried to insert comedy in order to balance an otherwise monotonous film, but he failed miserably. Every supposedly funny moment is astonishingly cringe-worthy. It was his directorial feature-debut, and it shows. It just feels like another cheap horror flick, filled with nothing but jump scares. One after the other. Every director in Hollywood could have done this, there's no distinct style or a trademark shot. Nothing. I do believe that every movie takes a lot of work, and there are tons of people behind a film that genuinely give it their all every time. But Annabelle Comes Home feels so much like a pure cash grab, and I hate writing these words because every movie ever is ultimately an attempt to win money for the studios. However, this sequel never feels like it's actually serving any purpose for the expansion or improvement of the universe it represents. It's a horror flick filmed in just one location, something that I usually love because you can do so much with it, but this time it really seems that it was filmed entirely at a house because it was cheaper, hence more probability of profit. There are two clear areas in the horror genre: the zone with films like Hereditary, Get Out and Us, where the story and its characters are what's more important and scarier; and the other with movies like The Nun, The Curse of La Llorona or Annabelle Comes Home, where the only goal is to cyclically produce jump scare sequences with no narrative significance or impact. If you enjoy this latter type of films (which is absolutely okay, everything is subjective to personal preferences), then you'll probably enjoy this movie. At least, people in my theater screamed and laughed pretty hard with no respect for the moviegoers that were trying to watch the actual film. However, if you're sick of watching the same thing over and over and over and over again, please, for your own sake, skip it. If it wasn't for the truly amazing performances, this could very easily be the worst movie of the year (Serenity still holds that spot). McKenna Grace is phenomenal as Judy! Madison Iseman and Katie Sarife are also pretty good at their roles. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga barely have any screentime, but when they do show up, they definitely elevate the scene. Everything related to the production design is quite good, but technicalities will never save a film from misery if the two pillars of any movie (story and characters) are thrown down the sewer. Also, I was shocked when I discovered that this is Rated R. There's barely any blood or anything that justifies that type of rating. It's another aspect that makes this film an even bigger disappointment. In the end, Annabelle Comes Home is as poor or worse than The Nun. I can't really decide which one I would watch instead of the other because I truly don't want to watch any of these ever again. A brilliant cast might save this movie from a completely negative review, but it's still an atrociously cheap addition to the horror genre. Everyone knows why this film doesn't work: continuously repeating predictable, loud, and hollow jump scare sequences is not a story. I can't feel invested in any of these scenes if they lack narrative impact or a minimum level of scariness. The fact that I barely even instinctively flinched (something I can't really avoid) is a sign of how horrible this movie is. My expectations for The Conjuring 3 just dropped tremendously. Good luck, James Wan. You're going to need it.",3 "The 1st Lost in Space 60's series was awful. Why on earth would anybody want to remake it!?! Idiot, whining Dr Smith ruined both series. And, to add insult to injury, Netflix, utterly incapable of producing anything worth watching, made an even more horrendous remake of the original awful storyline series. Netflix needs to quit making Netflix Originals.",1 "Extremely boring, back and forth of nonsense and super predictable. Special effects were non-existant, low budget overall. Like the movie Ronin, they were themselves being chased by something not clear and leaves you wtf did I just watch this? 😕",3 Boring and over actuation of Lady gaga . Ugly movie,2 "As a fan of the books AND the games, itscgreat to watch this show!",9 "I have to admit, firstly, that despite understanding the language, Indian films in general aren't what I watch given a choice. I only watched this one as it was on late one night on Channel 4. Although it started out in the same way as most bollywood fare to begin with, it turned suddenly and from then it had my attention. With absolutely nothing in the way of the melodramatic song and dance routines so commonly found in Indian cinema coupled with two of the better young actors as the principals it actually kept me guessing as to where it would inevitably go. Well not guessing as such but the pace at least kept me watching. So if you're still a newbie to bollywood cinema, watch this and then, unfortunately, its pretty much downhill from there!",7 Less funnier than first one. Less action than first one. Less drama than first one. Less rating than first one.,5 "I am at a complete loss as to what this film has to offer. In fact, IMDb's rule of ""10 lines minimum"" is an enormous hurdle because there is so little to say about this train wreck of a movie. The story has no real value or importance, the characters are labored and boring, and the storyline itself falls far short of interesting. I am trying to think of something positive to say about the movie but nothing comes to mind. Do not use my quickie review to decide whether or not to see this movie. As a major fan of movies I will provide no information that gives the movie away. I can say that, much as I love movies, this insignificant little movie does not make my top 1,000 list. I want my time back.",2 "Sure thing, my bad. Here's the revised version: So, ""Talk to Me"" had me on edge. It was so scary that I hesitated to step into my own kitchen after watching it, and that's saying something. I'd give it an 8/10 on the scary movie scale for sure. But you know what really got me thinking? The whole concept of purgatory they dived into. It's not something you see often in films or hear about in the real world, but it's the scariest idea of what happens after we kick the bucket - just endless nothingness and potential evil lurking. That concept is spine-chilling. Now, I gotta be real, the acting in the movie was kinda blah. And that kangaroo part? I mean, come on, we get it, you're Australian, but it felt out of place. I was hoping for a backstory about that mysterious hand too, like, did it make 'em high or something? It's the little details, you know? But when I think about it creatively, that whole endless nothingness in purgatory is a mind-boggling concept. It's what had me hooked. The execution could've been better, no doubt, but the idea itself was cool and kept me engaged. So, all in all, I'd say it's an 8/10. If I were creating that movie in my head, I'd probably focus more on the endless void of purgatory, but as an actual film, it had its flaws. But hey, it's worth a watch for that concept alone.",8 Man if you just saw those videos on YouTube you gonna love it even if you didn't see it but it wasn't that good,6 All I honestly have to say is that who they chose to play Gomez is terrible. Where's cancel culture when you need it? He doesn't fit the bill at all. Out of all the Hispanic actors they could have use they chose a 3rd rate actor? What happen to a Gomez that's accurate to what he's supposed to look like? I feel as if everyone else was a great casting choice. The choise of Wednesday was 100% perfect. The casting for Morticia of that's how you spell her name was also great. Heck Pugsley was even incredibly casted. Lurch is possibly my favorite character casting in the show. He is 100% casted. What does everyone else think ?,8 """Swades: We, the People"" is a cinematic masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of time and space to touch the very core of our hearts. I first saw this movie a few years ago and since then I have been in some kind of connection with this movie. I don't know how many times I have seen this movie. I sometimes feel so connected with the protagonist that I myself feel the responsibility for people around me. I also want to make the change the way Mohon thought and did in the movie. I also loved the way Ashutosh Gowarikar paced the story, the development of love between main characters and the connection between them. In the end, ""Swades"" reminds us that home is not just a place; it's a feeling, a responsibility, and a call to action. It encourages us to be the change we wish to see in the world. Don't miss the opportunity to embark on this soul-stirring journey; watch ""Swades: We, the People"" and let it awaken the patriot within you.",10 "This movie sucks, almost same plot as The Happening from 2008 do i have too go on don't think so",4 "The plot had so much potential to build a very good thriller, but the potential has been mostly wasted. Many holes in the plot. Showing CBI to be dumb and stupid brings down the believability of the film. An excellent plot could have been easily built by showing CBI as intelligent and smart, which is what they are. Many technical aspects of the film were well done, but background music was boring/annoying at times. Given the high ratings from other users and the director's debut film which I enjoyed a lot, I had high expectations going in. Came away disappointed!",5 "Dauberman's directorial debut is a successful spinoff in the franchise. Although not as frightening as other films in the franchise, the cast's performance and atmosphere makes Annabelle Comes Home a very enjoyable film in the Conjuring Universe.",7 "Tarantino's films are unique. How unique? You have to be a good listener to enjoy his movies. His films usually lost their points, or they never have their points. It seems like his movies' story are always bended into various unrelated directions. For this one, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, it looks like a documentary with drama that the story telling was comparable to a man who was lost in a forest. Thus, watching his films, you must be very patient.",4 Reminded me of 10000 B.C in the beginning but turned out to be a survival movie with a terrific and unexpected climax where you truly feel that Alpha had been actually going through much worse condition but still carried on.. Beautiful scenery and landscapes. A little slow but you will want more of it in the end..,7 "La La Land (2016) : Brief Review - A fine tale of Shattered and Achieved Dreams but shows us how much do we owe and miss Classic Musicals of Old Hollywood. In the first intentional meeting of hero-heroine in La La Land the heroine gives a reference of Iconic film Casablanca (1942) and the very next moment i knew in my mind somewhere that this film is going to have a similar climax like Casablanca where the Hero will have no girl in his life and has to leave Heroine who have another guy in her life. As expected it had the exact same thing but just the theme wasn't so iconic or timeless like Casablanca and the impact of course wasn't upto Casablanca (i believe no film will ever match Casablanca level). La La Land has positives to admire but it also has some issues to deal with. The biggest problem of the film is, it is known as a Musical but doesn't have enough Musicals to be called a Musical. Second biggest fault is both the leading artists Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are below average singers and dancers hence all the Musical scenes look lukewarm. It proves again that how much do we owe to Classic Musicals from Old Hollywood by Gene Kelly. If you remember Singin' In the Rain, An American In Paris then certainly you are not among those audience who call this Mediocre La La Land a Great Musical. I am out of the list. La La Land fails as a musical and it was acceptable because of the modern techniques of filmmaking but it also failed to keep the narrative well versed. I don't understand why that 5-6 minutes dramatic dreamy segment in the climax when the decision was made mutually by hero-heroine both. If it was mutual then of course there was no need to stretch thier shattered dreams through average visual portion. It wasn't the first time when we see Hero-heroine not ending up together because of their careers then why the hell make it look so international and effortless? It was a simple idea and definitely acceptable and impactful too but just because of stretched and mild storytelling it has to lose points from its overall impact. And talking about the opposite side of it, the hero and heroine both confess that they will love each other forever then why there was not a single scene which shows the seriousness of their relationship? Despite regular 2 hours runtime i had to see the runtime bar several times that shows how much the film dragged whereas i remember watching 3 hours long musicals without checking the runtime bar once. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling both give honest performance and thier dedication in the scenes can be seen with their efforts. Screenplay has many haults for no reason and so editing had to be more tight but both the things couldn't collaborate nicely to make it a solid team effort. Director Damien Chazelle has made a good film overall but not subtle and detailed. He missed many nuances and made many small small blur mistakes which technically pulls La La Land much down to make it stand much lower than Old Musicals made almost 5-6 decades ago. Overall, La La Land is a fine tale of dreams and it works on both the sides of coin shattered and achived but as a cinematic musical experience the final impact stays on ""Decent"" Level which is far lower than what some people have made it look i mean ""Great"". Somebody here in IMDB users reviews said, ""Shame on Hollywood for endorsing this mediocre film as Great Musical"", i agree slightly and anyways i don't care much about Oscars. RATING - 6/10* By - #samthebestest",6 "Maybe I'm just getting too old for these childish popcorn munchers, but I found this movie to be tedious and contrived. It was SO predictable, in fact, that I was quoting lines before they even happened. Do movie audiences still NEED to see a man leaping from a second story balcony to avoid an explosion? This movie was so packed with stereotypes and shallow eye-rolling dialogue that there is little to no room for any creative originality. If it were not for the always delightful Johnny Depp, there would be little need for this movie at all. Splice together ten of your favorite Hollywood Frontal Lobotomies in to one big safe happy crapfest, and you'll achieve the same result. In short, the movie was entertaining, but not deserving of any special attention.",4 "The cast of Amsterdam was just amazing. With names like Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, Robert De Niro, Chris Rock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Michael Shannon, Mike Myers, Timothy Olyphant, Rami Malek, just to name a few, you expect this movie to be outstanding. Well the acting was really good and that from the entire cast but that's just normal with names like that, and the cinematography was on top as well, the story on the other hand was just very difficult to follow. I thought the story was a letdown, I was expecting something far better to be honest and for that I only score Amsterdam with a six. Too bad because this story could have potential but not how it has been brought here. Good enough to watch once but that's about it.",6 "In the rushing world of man's greed this movie tells a tale of dharmraj in kalyug what an outstanding and brilliantly directed movie. Charlie has been outstanding in the whole movie along with dharmraj, after a while when I thought there is nothing in movie Charlie brought smiles as well as tears in my eyes literally this is the best dog movie till now Indian cinema ever produced love you Charlie, you will be remembered forever from now and we all should take hint from this movie about humanity and the love they give us in this ruthless world where love is just a name thing , love you Charlie 😍",10 While not as good as the first Iron Man it certainly gives a great experience.,9 A boring movie about two guys having discussions while walking through trenches and the camera is just in front of them. Great.. it doesn't show the grittiness and gruesomeness of the First World War at all and the plot makes no sense while the main actors survive explosions in a tunnel with their plot armor. If you like art style boring movies and want to feel like a critic this is for you. If you like action/war entertaining movies this is not for you.,4 "At first glance, I admit that I thought this movie was going to suck royally last year... it's a good thing I have an open mind. This is the way that a good sex comedy should be made. It's touching enough to be remembered, yet funny enough so that regular folks will want to see it over and over. It's practically a coming-of-age novel right on screen. It's rare that a movie with a script so experimental could capture the attention of so many. For that, this movie should be among the most legendary movies of all time. Now for the verdict: 10 out of 10!",10 "I had 1 more hour to go but i quit, it was so boring ... they wasted their money making this movie..... bale is so cringe with his yelling and acting in this one.",1 They wanted to make copy of dead pool. Good for kids. 5-12 y/o.,5 "Main ho-on Na has all the ingredients for a perfect Indian movie.The action,The storyline,The songs.It was good to see Sunil Shetty as a villain and Sharukh Khan as a hero (as usual).I think Sharukh Khan should try out a new role because in the past 5 years he has always done a heroes role.Zayed Khan was better than ever and I think this is Farah Khan's best directed film.This film contains Farah Khan's magic.Amrita Rao's acting was fantastic and so was Sushmita Sen.Kiron Kher was better in Main ho-on Na then she was in Hum Tum but I think she is a not that good actress anyway.I loved the fighting and I think everyone was fantastic.",10 "The first half is enjoyable ride. Tom Cruise carries this movie. The movie falters in the last half hour. Direction is choppy and patched together. Editing is all over the place. The story falters towards the end, almost as if the director didn't know how to end it well. Could've been better if they had dived deeper into the the actual story of Barry Seal and the Cartel/CIA connection.",7 "I have struggled with this movie for a long time and every time I watch it I come out feeling the same way. I really appreciate some of what it's doing but I simply cannot get back the endless onslaught of plot conveniences. There are too many things that just happen to go just right for this stuff to happen and it bugs the hell out of me. The scientists work for a super advanced lab but have no protocols at all in place for anything apparently? They barely monitor their researchers or research subjects? Franco might be desperate but he just shoots up his father with a drug he's tried once. On an ape? COME ON! They walk an ape around on a leash and no one has a problem with it? People get mad if you have the wrong kind of dog but an ape is ok? WTH!? Yeah, there's a lot good in here but there are so many little things that always just drive me nuts and feel like they invalidate a lot of what's happening. Still recommend it to people because these movies are worth watching and this is fairly important for the rest of the series. Just be prepared for some serious asks on the behalf of the script.",6 "Let's be honest, I slept a good part of the movie, which is not a good sign. You have a great cast of actors (Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette among others) in a not so great setting. The movie follows Benoit Blanc, a detective from the Southern aristocracy, which means that Daniel Craig... has an awful Southern accent... I would put it on the same level as Dick Van Dyke's in Mary Poppins. And I think that's the main reason why I didn't like the movie. Apart from that, the story is quite nice, very much like 8 Women (2002). Ana de Armas plays a great Martha with her own traumas, and a sweetness that makes you feel for her very early on. Apart from his awful accent, Daniel Craig plays a good looney detective, comparing a murder case to a donut, or using words that do not make sense to anyone around him. But it will not make me want to try to catch the few minutes of the movie that I missed.",5 "The problems with this movie for me are long, so I'll start with them and finish with the good. it's an insult to Dr Strange. His character is continually taking a back seat in his own movie and spoiler spoiler spoiler - he doesn't even win the final battle -the plot is horribly laid out- whenever there's an issue, there's just another spell that comes along out of nowhere they can solve it the horror elements are just silly I know Sam Raimi isn't the most talented (a one trick pony) but come on Scarlet Witch might be powerful, but she just sucks as a character - her motivations are not of the scale required for this kind of film - it's always selfishness, not some greater conquest The good? Benedict Cumberbatch is great, Wong is an awesome character, the visuals can be fantastic at times. That's it though. I don't hold out much hope for the next Thor.20 years ago I wanted more comic book movies. I still want more but not at this quality. I think I'm done with Marvel just like Star Wars. Thanks Disney for... we'll not much.",2 "My problem with many tv shows and series such as this is they go on way too long. For the most part, sitcoms, drama series and miniseries start to lose their energy after awhile. In the case of regular shows, many should not go beyond four seasons. If they do, as a rule, they become boring and ridiculous. In the case of 'The Last of Us', the first few episodes were gripping, well acted and written (Episode 3 especially). However, it started going downhill after the 5th. The 6th episode should have been it's last. Episode 7 was was especially bad and broke the rhythm of the series. Episode 8 was overly violent (to animals as well) and extremely far-fetched. Producers should heed the 'less is more' rule. If a miniseries can't be wrapped up in a maximum of 7 episodes, it's likely to lose its mojo. If a regular tv show goes beyond 5 seasons, it will probably end up in the ratings basement. Less is more.",6 "Movie is well made, but this is not my taste so cot me off, if you want to see then go ahead, give it a watch :)",5 "A two hour movie stretched to the point I am bored to point I cannot finish the series. Not very original, tries too hard, awfully predictable.",5 Maybe I am getting jaded by action movies but this movie was as boring as watching grass grow. Most of the humor is provided by the language and cultural differences between Americans and Japanese. This ploy has been used many times in movies and I no longer find it amusing. I have the same comment about a noisy in-room fax machine. I really think the Bill Murray character wanted to bed his young companion but never got up the nerve to do so. Too bad.,5 "25mins in and I'm really not sure what's going on....... It's Transformers without the big shiny robots. As an AV showcase, it looks good and my Atmos setup is thanking me for the workout.",3 "If I had never read the book I probably would have really liked this movie, but as someone who thought the book was pretty good (not incredible) this is a let-down. It skips past nearly all of the world- and character-building that the book takes great pains to articulate and instead crams a whole bunch of licensed characters, worlds and names in front of you. A solid 9/10 on the audio-visual front because it looks and sounds fantastic, but it just throws the characters into relationships with one another and does virtually zero storytelling.",4 Too much violence this can not be Rated G I can not belive that this is a kids movie !,4 Everything is grest about the show except Elliot Page is extremly annoying.,8 "The show is very intelligent and psychadelic show. It's one of those shows you have to tune into everyday to understand what's going on. Ethan Hawk did great but I think they wrote and used the villain wrong. Moon Knight was great and used amazingly and the wife between the bromance of two psychys is nice. Solid 8/10.",8 "Had some good moments, Sam Bucky and Zemo were fun but what brought it down was choppy random scenes, a horrible moppy teenage villain and the worst part way too political.",6 "I tried so many times to watch this, given the director's track record utter garbage - unfunny if you want to see this done right - watch The Producers",1 "I give this show a solid 8.5, though I rate it as 10 to possibly offset the reviews made based on the first half of the first season. To know what I think, I consider Game of Thrones to be the only 10, because it is probably as good as a TV show can get. The 7.5 score this show currently has probably lives up to the rating... if the score is based on the first 10 or so episodes. The show started off bland and clichéd. The first couple episodes were interesting, and had fun character interactions. But they began to bore really fast as I got accustomed to their personalities. The substance didn't really help at all, because the main plot point didn't seem to go anywhere. However, the show really kicks off at the start of the second half of the first season. The show's plot line didn't rely on the main MCU movies. It offers a nod to the main movies, but the show operates almost independently from whatever is going on in the movies. So even if you are not a big Marvel fan, you can still enjoy the show without knowing much of the movies. The show gets even better in the second, third, and fourth seasons as the show adds new characters and develops existing ones. The boring dynamics of the first couple episodes develop into something great. Along with excellent CGI and action sequences, there's rarely a dull moment in each of the episodes.",10 With all the hype I expected more from this movie. I fell asleep the first time I watched it. Went back to finish watching it and regretted it. I want the 2.5 hours back that I wasted watching it.,3 The series starts with a pretty disturbing first episode but it gets better with each episode. The special appearances by actors and early career roles for actors in the series is great as well. Watch it and you most likely won't regret it.,9 "When a malevolent force invests the world with suicidal despair, a reluctant mother must protect her children as they navigate a path through the raging madness. Gnostic horror with a folksy vibe, showing a peculiarly American view of life. The opening sets up a nice dilemma, of a protective mother so harsh that she risks destroying the very thing she loves. Then we swing into flashback with an energetic relationship between the lead and her sister, which crashes into a collapse-of-civilization sequence comparable to the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Good stuff. Sadly, the survivalist scenes aren't as tight or well-written as in that zombie classic, and the pace does drag a bit, broken up by brief trips to the present. Plenty of action - the credits name more stunt people than actors - so maybe it needed some gallows humour to mix things up. The performances are good, particularly the lead and the little girl, although it was disappointing that the lead's interesting art didn't inform her character. The editing is pretty brisk, and I think it's the occasional moralizing speeches that drain the energy. The music is subtle and effective - I see Trent Reznor was involved - but the plinky piano in the final scene is pure schmaltz. Also the most beautiful piece, a sonata by Haydn, is used to convey the critical descent into madness - huh? Shades of Dr Lecter in his cage with the Goldberg Variations. Camera-work seemed fine, but had to deal with the difficulty of conveying the danger of seeing direct daylight - and so we end up with what you might call gauze-vision: not entirely convincing. And that's where the trouble lies, in a mistake of perception. When I say gnostic horror, I mean the story sets up a world beset by the evil whims of a mysterious force, with the plot showing a way to overcome it. This is supported by the fact the force originates from outside, in Europe and Russia, but it's plain that those scenes are a projection of American hysteria - attributing to others one's own faults, which fuels the delusion that one has only to reach inside for the necessary virtue in order to overcome. The unintended irony is compounded in a scene where the ornery Trumpishness of one character is confronted by plain-speaking liberalism, without recognizing that they are both the problem. And the overcoming is done in a folksy return to traditional values during an ascent to paradise through blindfolded faith, even as the evil continues to rage outside. Religious in the most unhelpful way. TL;DR: America, the phone call is coming from inside the house.",7 "Starting this by saying that Daredevil is my favorite Marvel production, and I firmly believe that it is the best thing Marvel has ever put out. Watching this is like a breath of fresh air from the system of good guys win bad guys lose + little to no character development, originality, or personality that we've been seeing for years. I definitely love the darker, more gruesome hero movies and shows. It's like a more grown up version of the stories we loved growing up. Daredevil offers multiple stories in one as well. We see loads of conflicts, fighting, lots of religious influences (Catholicism being a big feature during the series due to its impact on Matt Murdock's life), and a lot of romance (getting every audience with this one). I was hooked from the first 3 episodes. Something about a disabled person defeating the odds, standing up against the corrupt system, and bringing justice to the world all while being a badass superhero that beats bad guys (not even villains, realistic bad guys that one may come across in our daily lives) does it for me. Third season got really slow with Karen's storyline (didn't care too much for it), and the second season's Elektra bs got a little old after awhile. However, the rest of the plot makes up for it. Shoutout to Charlie Cox for playing such a believable blind person, and for acting so well in thisj role. I wish I could watch this for the first time again. It was amazing.",8 "To be completely honest, I went into this movie expecting to thoroughly trash it as soon as I walked out. I thought it was destined to be another cheesy rom-com with a predictable ending and terrible acting. I was wrong. Little did I know, this was another Judd Apatow produced comedy, and almost everything he's touched over the past three years has turned into pure gold, including ""The 40 Year Old Virgin"", ""Knocked Up"" and ""Superbad"". ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"" is no exception. Jason Segal of ""How I Met your Mother"" fame, stars as a lovable but lazy music composer for a CSI-esque television drama. After his famous girlfriend (Kristen Bell) dumps him, he decides to take a vacation to Hawaii to deal with it. Little does he know, that his ex-girlfriend is travelling to the same resort as him – with her new overly-flamboyant musician boyfriend in tow (Russell Brand.) Mila Kunis (""That 70's Show"") plays a receptionist at the resort, and proves she can actually play a likable role. Kunis has great chemistry with Segal, and their budding relationship is surprisingly one of the highlights of the movie. The script, which was also written by Segal, is consistently funny throughout, and really hones in on the hilarious one liners and awkward situational humor that seem to be the strength of most Apatow movies. Segal has definitely elevated himself into a solid comic lead. You can't help but feel bad for the guy as things gradually go from bad to worse for him. That said, Russell Brand, who plays eccentric musician Aldous Snow, steals every scene he's in. He plays a character in which the viewer is supposed to dislike, but it's virtually impossible. Everything he does, from his words, to his facial expressions, to his ridiculous body language, is hilarious. Now I may only be high on this movie because I had exceptionally low expectations going in, but it's definitely a solid comedy from start to finish. With the exception of having to see Segal's junk at least six or seven times, it was a gem.",9 "Weak plot No proper story Lack of drama. Can be better if they had focus more on action. Villains are very very weak, destroyed in a couple of minutes.",2 "The Visuals were gorgeous as expected with a lot of detail and great motion and chase sequences. The plot was decent but it should not have taken that long to develop you can probably cut an hour out of this film and still have a decent movie. It seemed like a mix of a bunch of movies i have seen before with nothing really amazing other than visuals. Yes it was nice to have new characters, creatures and landscapes but it also felt too much like a video game and at times i was really bored and wanted to walk out. It could have gone straight to streaming i would have enjoyed it just as much, maybe more. Not really worth the money or wait.",4 "For a film just over 2 hours long there is not a lot to say. It's all car chases, explosions and fun fights. 6 people presumed dead bankrolled by a billionaire try to make the world a better place by taking out evil dictators from around the world. The story is simple and the action is non stop. It was ok but too much action and not enough storytelling and acting for me.",5 "So visually stunning, casting and costumes were awesome story line... i felt like some production assistants collided and mixed the scripts for captain America the first avenger, hacksaw ridge and a couple other movies together with this one there was nothing original about this movie, it's a paint by numbers snapped together movie which was very disappointing with the great cast and superhero movie effects with a better script this could have been a true masterpiece, as is it's destin for the dollar store bargin bin",5 "I don't know if there was good PR at work at the time of launch. But the movie felt terrible from the start to finish. It's just over dramatised (read 'bollywood masala'), bad acting and terrible scenes. Yeah Farhan must have gone through a gruelling training to seem like Milkha Singh (and so I'll give it 2 stars instead of 1) but that's besides the point!! To start with there has to be a decent copywriting and direction and all other finer elements of story telling to come together to make up a watchable movie. I grew up around some sports people and god they just hated it. I dunno if Milkha Singh actually was part of the film-making, but it just seems such a bad attempt at capturing his biography.",2 "Bad storyline and not a good acting, its just bad!!! most people like enola holmes just because of millie bobby brown and the hot other guy. one of the badest movies in the world!! the end is dissapontnig",4 "Beginning with a great opening, it devolved into dribble. Nothing is more of a let-down that knowing what and who Thor is, from a childhood spent reading Marvel Comics, than not having anything recognisable shown to us. Save your money. Do not buy this. Go buy some comic books instead. I wish I had. This DVD is going to the local charity shop, with a handwritten apology for donating rubbish to them! Stan Lee makes another of his cameos in this, and it's a little light humour thrown in, but that doesn't make it worth the money spent on buying it. Sorry, Stan, this is not good. Kenneth Branagh, (Director) please, stick to Shakespeare. You know nothing about Superhero/action movies!",3 "It is definitely not my kind of film and I must say that I was very bored while watching it, but the film director did a really good job in cinematography, if you can immerse yourself in the mood of this film, I can say that you will probably have a pleasant time. In general, I found the film dull and depressing, so my score for the film was a very average five. Although the film is not bad when viewed as a work, it does not have the excitement and spirit I was looking for, at least in a war film, more precisely, I could not see the things I wanted to see in a film, that is, the elements I mentioned in this film.",5 "When 24 first premiered, I was quite skeptical that it would last an entire season, let alone 6. I saw the first few episodes and didn't think much of it. I stopped watching it because Tuesday nights became bad for me, but later on in the season I saw the episode when Bauer and Palmer finally met. From then on I finished out the season and was amazed. I bought the first season DVD over the summer and watched it all. After I finished, I could hardly wait for the next season. The first half of the season was solid, but then the second half got predictable. Nonetheless, I was still on the edge of my seat and by the end of the year I was left wanting more. Even though the fourth season was the worst, I was and remain convinced that a bad season of 24 is still better than a good season of any other show. Originally I was simply amazed by the constant cliffhangers that are drawn up week after week by the amazing writing crew. I'm now hooked on the soundtrack by Sean Callery and the performances by the characters, most notably Kiefer Sutherland as the great Jack Bauer. I was particularly impressed with his acting this season. Season 6 was the most emotionally traumatic season for Jack Bauer and Kiefer's acting was more than top notch! I don't understand how this last finale only has a 5.8. This finale was pure 24. The action sequences as well as the intensity of the acting by Kiefer in the last 12 minutes left me on the edge of my seat, more than ever! This show is the best on television because the writing is impeccable as well as the acting and the music. The character's performances among these other elements make this seem like more than a TV show or a movie for that matter. I'm impatiently waiting for the next season because this show is truly one in a million. No...one in 24 million!",10 "American Made (2017) This is a semi-biographical crime film about a former TWA pilot who flew missions for the CIA and became a drug smuggler for the Medellín Cartel in the 1980s. It stars Tom Cruise, Domhnall Gleeson, Sarah Wright, Alejandro Edda, Mauricio Mejía, Caleb Landry Jones and Jesse Plemons. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Cruise's performance. It did modestly at the box office. I found the film to be average, worth seeing, but not likely to be viewed again. Cruise was solid, but as expected, considering his talent.",7 "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is the total opposite of what the Sorcerer's Stone was. The young leads are more mature in this film and the film is by far the most dreary and bleakest thanks to great cinematography by Eduardo Serra. The decision to turn Deathly Hallows into two parts is a very wise one. Harry, Ron, and Hermione returns in the seventh installment of the very popular Harry Potter franchise. They head out to hunt down the Horcruxes in order to destroy Voldemort. But while they do that, they must deal with dark forces chasing them, fear for loved ones, and above all each other. Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson deliver their most mature performances yet. As the series progressed, they have increasingly gotten better. One thing I always liked about the Potter films is the large supporting cast and how they manage to be effective. Once again, they were very effective in this film. Overall, this is David Yate's best Harry Potter film to date. The story is constructed well thanks to a tight screenplay by Steve Kloves. This film also tends to be emotional at times especially the beginning scene and several of the final scenes. There are also some welcome character returns from previous installments. All in all, this may be the best Harry Potter film yet. I rate this film 10/10.",10 "The movie starts well, and surprisingly Abhishek Bachchan played his role much better than Aditya Roya Kapoor who literally screwed up a good movie. I was expecting a stellar performance by Anurag Basu .. but it seems I was asking for too much.",1 Movie is awesome ..good direction ..Vicky Kaushal awesome... Salute to indian army for bravery,10 "Of all the Marvel projects in the works, this is the one I looked forward to the most. On episode 3 and it has not disappointed. The fact that they went with this format, TV series, over a movie was great for these two overlooked characters. Don't bother watching if you can't see the increasing less subtle indication under the obviously manufactured veneer that something is very amiss (other than we know they are superheroes Wanda and Vision). I am a Paul Bettany fan and loving his comedic timing on this project. Can't wait to see him in Frank. Happy watching!",9 "This movie looked fun, and got amazing reviews. I try to temper my expectations when seeing comic book films in particular. It helps me not to be disappointed, and almost always helps me enjoy the film by being pleasantly surprised. This movie, however, did disappoint me. mostly because it got such amazing reviews from critics and audiences. I really liked some elements of it, but the villain was boring along with the third act, which was too long, and very unfocused. I was hoping to be entertained, but I ended up just leaving wishing I hadn't spent my money on that one. I think teenagers will probably like it quite a bit, but if you have more refined taste, I'd recommend saving this one for a casual night at home.",5 "As a huge fan of the show How I Met Your Mother, I felt it was only appropriate that I watch Jason Segel act in one of his biggest movie roles. And man, it did not disappoint whatsoever. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a very raunchy and kinda silly romantic comedy. I felt like it was one of the most genuinely funny romcoms that I had ever seen. Every character (except Sarah, i laughed AT her situation though) was very funny in their own way. It was definitely not family friendly and was fairly immature humor, but that's what I love. The thing that shined the most for me was the character development amongst 4 different main characters. I really loved the relatability and silliness of Jason Segel's character (Peter). I loved Mila Kunis' character (Rachel) the most, her character was so nice and charming and beautiful and meshed so well with Peter. Russell Brand's character (Aldous) was very funny and so nonchalant about everything, he added a great dynamic to the movie. Lastly, Kristen Bell's character (Sarah Marshall) was the huge driving force behind the plot, made out to be basically be a manipulative psycho by the end of the movie. Her character was unlikable but was very much necessary to be this way for the plot to work, obviously. All in all, this movie combined elements of romance and comedy in a relatively fresh way. The character development was on point, its plot was complex but not hard to follow, and it was super funny. Great movie, potentially one of my favorite comedies of all time.",10 "Wonder Woman had it's good parts to it. It was interesting seeing Chris Pine in this, though his character had weaknesses too. I enjoyed watching some of the fight scenes and special effects. I also liked the island and the mythological story behind it. Lastly, the fact that the world war and Nazis were involved was fun too. However, with most superhero movies, this fell short, but in a different way. It was cool to watch, perhaps even better than a lot of other superhero movies. But I just lost interest halfway through, or even before. Watch it if you want, probably be a good time. 5 stars",5 "The acting was amazing. Ryan Gosling should win an award for this. There was much laughter, tears, dancing, and conflict which all played out well. The acting resembled the characters as toys, down to every little detail. Phenomenal acting! The movie shows that Barbie and Ken, and the other characters have been completely thought out. The development was very deep and relates to the audience very well. The dialogue was great, too, as there was just enough of it, showing depth. Ties into the plot and theme thoroughly. Barbie has impacted girls for many years and the movie introduces the audience to a light hearted history of it. Barbie is supposed to be perfect and experience every day at its best. But the world of Barbie the audience sees is far from perfect, and it is separated from the real world of those who actually play with her. The plot development was amazing, as Barbie goes on a mission to discover herself and save her Barbie world. In the meantime like the slogan says, ""She's everything. He's just Ken."" Ken is also having a crisis in being number two, and questions how he fits into the Barbie world. As both toys deal with their identity crises, the themes of empowerment, patriarchy, feminism, and being yourself comes into play. Other valuable life lessons are shown as well that makes this movie memorable for women and even men. The themes are powerful and heartwarming, yet raw and honest. The sound was bubbly and popping, the graphics impressed me the most. From the costumes, to the plasticity of objects, to the action everything was visually effective. The camera angles were also notable. This movie was very upbeat and much more hilarious than I orginally anticipated. The movie resonates with what its like as they tackle the real world. The movie brings so many elements from various generations of Barbie and the audience learns about the creator and what it means to be-Barbie. As she and Ken both question their existence, the heart of the movie centers on the impact that they make towards themselves and others. With fantastic graphics, dancing and song, humor, and life lessons this movie makes it a captivating film that everyone will surely enjoy!",10 "The good: impressive special effects, interesting robot characters. The bad: dodgy science, meandering implausible plot, bad editing and pacing, dubious acting. The ugly: horrific dialogue, incomprehensible character motivation, nonsensical and massively contrived story, plot holes so wide you could push Saturn and its rings through. When one astronaut has to use a bit of paper to explain to another, en route, what a worm hole is -- despite it being their goal for a mission decades in planning -- you know you're in trouble. We wanted to walk out halfway through, and in retrospect wish we had, it only got worse.",1 The usual race and gender swap and an inept scrip added to this woke garbage,2 "Was not impressed. Wouldn't go as far to say it was as bad as Transformers 2 and 3 but it was aiming to be. Story wise it was a piece of crap. Typical good vs bad. Acting not so good. The only thing that was protecting these flaws was the special effects. Buildings fell, things blew up, blah blah blah. The end of the movie was meant to be epic but it was very underwhelming. I was thinking that this was meant to be an advanced alien race. I also thought that Cpt America was meant to be a badass but it turns out he wears pyjamas not chainmail. It was memorable... only because it was so disappointing.",3 Just finished Episode Two and looking to watch the whole Season asap. Hope Netflix has a few more seasons planned. This is so much fun. Interesting and imaginative.,8 "I knew little about the film and was honestly a little disappointed, and a little angry by the end. I did my first play in middle school in 1960, went into college theatre teaching, especially theatre and social justice, and have never been fond of theatre/film being about itself. So many films in the 30's about ""the theatah"", as if that's the only thing writers and directors understood. Which is probably right. I'm still unhappy with Chorus Line. But this one. If we're looking for new directions from the 1960's, Quentin, how about going to the six months from September 1964 to February 1965 and stop that friggin' war? That truly mattered and we're still suffering from it. Indeed, if you're going to make a film about ""the end of the great era of films"" (Quentin's determination, of course), why not make it about ""the beginning of a great era of film"" and black people finally getting some screen time in the early 70's -- Shaft, Super Fly, Lady Sings the Blues. And flashback to the magnificent Raisin in the Sun in 1961. Could Quentin's memory film have been any whiter? I'm very white but have earned black blood in my veins. So, too much white privileged navel gazing for me. Others may have a different experience. Which is probably the case.",3 "Not sure how this got such a high rating. It's weird as hell and it made no sense whatsoever. The visual effects were somewhat ok that's why it gets a 2 but man, I think you need to be high off your mind to appreciate something like this. Really can't understand how people can enjoy this, I stopped after 1 hour watching. I can that it has Asian characters and that it shows real life situations: taxes, stress, business etc but I don't think it deserved such the praise it did as I saw nothing special about this movie. I'm not a cinema connaisseur by any means so maybe I'm missing the art in this movie but I was hella not into it.",2 "After watching 6 episodes I find myself totally losing interest now, a bad storey line and a lack of top class actors and the fact that It jumps so many years every week is become so confusing and I find myself pausing it to work out who's who and I agree the actors are trying their best but with a bad script it's just not working. After watching Game of Thrones which for me was the best thing I've ever watched I find House of Dragon a real disappointment and it's such a shame after the wait and hype. Unfortunately unlike other people I cannot bring myself to watch any more episodes it's JUST NOT GOOD!",1 Bad script not scary at all and also boring the pervious part was much better,4 This show is a delightful live action version of the 90s cartoon. I really enjoyed the 2 seasons available and was shocked that a third would never happen. why?! so disappointing. it's almost as though s01 and s02 were the origin prequel and built up to cancelation. shame!,8 "One of my all time favorite sleep movies. Very psychologically developed, with non-trivial plot moves and the coolest work of operators. I am generally a fan of films about dreams, because I myself practice lucid dreaming. It is extremely difficult to talk about the minuses, because I am still under the impression and I am going to review this masterpiece again. So what is the value here for me.",6 "Well, we're on to the final battle between Harry and Voldemort, though somehow, despite the six preceding films and a forthcoming Part Two, it feels a little too soon. How can something still seem abrupt when it's been developing for almost ten years? One way, which I consider largely responsible in this case, is to procrastinate about developing the big bad. Voldemort enjoys an appropriately in-depth history in the books, though even there he moves in the shadows and rarely appears in the flesh, but in films he's been almost an afterthought. A victim of the constant trims and clips that have leeched depth from the print editions for years. I always figured they'd get around to him eventually, but now we're in the endgame and named characters are dying and it's quickly become clear that we aren't going to get much more insight than ""no nose / killed parents / generally mean guy."" Which is odd, considering how much care and effort went into defining and expanding the story's huge, diverse supporting cast. Another problem is the whole loom, doom and gloom aspect of this climax, a storm which has been gradually gathering for the last several chapters. Where the first year or two were whimsical and colorful, resonant with talking portraits and leaping chocolates, the mood has turned decidedly gray as Harry's class has aged into young adulthood. A tonal shift is to be expected - after all, isn't everyone a little depressed and melodramatic in their teens - but there's no relief in Deathly Hallows 1. It's a hundred fifty minutes of relentlessly dim, trudging melancholy, completely tired and emotionally flat. Night is always darkest before the dawn and all that, but just a little flash of optimism would go a long way in this regard, especially as the original material's been awkwardly split in two so the credits roll at the base of a steep downward slope. Man, does this movie beat you up. Harry Potter 7's technical work represents a new high water mark for the series, delivering all sorts of crazy, large-scale, wand-based battle scenes and grim, haunting locales, so it's got that going for it. The acting is generally strong, too, with Ralph Fiennes stealing the limelight as the effectively slimy, paranoid antagonist. There's just no getting past the crushing, invasive dullness of it all, nor the odd transposition of a few light-hearted themes and characters into that deep, dark new atmosphere. One scene, in particular, is like watching Jar Jar Binks get the tear-jerking ""Bubba in Forrest Gump"" farewell treatment. Sorry to say, but for all its promise and fanfare, this just wasn't very good.",5 "I still don't understand why they dragged out the last episode. The more suspense the better? I thought that many things would be explained clearly in 6th episode. And the show creators tried to do so, but I did not believed them.",2 "This type of film that mixes science fiction with urban drama, romance, is sensational. Film seen on the 1st to the 2nd of November 2020.",7 "This is (yet another) complete rip off of Agatha Christies ""Ten Little XXXXX"" (changed to ""And then there were none) written in the 1930's - marginally changed for the final outcome. Christie (an English author) has sold as many books as Shakespeare (another English writer!) perhaps by now even more. This ""Glass Onion"" effort started off badly and went from bad to worse. Is this REALLY a great film? NOPE! And I can hardly believe the weird accent that ""James Bond"" has put on - nor the character he has created. Really Daniel? Honestly - surely you dont need the Money! I dipped into this when it first came out and now about 10 days later I decided to take the plunge and try again (after abandoning it 5 mins in last time). Do I think its worth re visiting this? No I really dont. Not only is it a story thats well known and told before (many times) but it varies little (actually not at all) from the original - with the exception that none have English accents (some have dreadful FAKE American accente) Nope! Forget it - seriously.",4 "I loved the books. The TV show is fine but not great. It does not deserve high ratings based off the first season. It takes the popular supernatural romance angle, adds historical mystery, and has a bit more world building than many similar themed shows. It's not 'action packed' and neither was the book. The Good Points ******************* It creates the world of hidden creatures, tension and conflict well, with some added depth and perspectives compared to the book. The settings and sets were fabulous: Oxford, Bishop Home, Sept Tour. I didn't mind some of the changes to the plot and narrative, because of course there needs to be changes when the medium is different. There was one bit that was omitted from the show, which always made me *hmmm* in the books, and I wondered if it was given recent events (when Diana discovers Matthew had given her his blood without her knowledge, and the significance of that for their relationship). There were some quality actors here too. I didn't mind that Ysabeau was cast much older than she is in the book (appearance wise), as the actress is awesome, and plays cool, refined and dangerous vampire well... it doesn't change the story that much. Up front, I like Goode as an actor, and wasn't keen on him playing Matthew when I heard. But... he plays it well... with what he is given. He definitely pulls off the strong, silent but lethal vibe. Given overall script and quality though, I wonder why he's in this series and there's a few scenes where I wonder if he wonders why he chose this role. The addition of other perspectives and more world building around the Congregation was great, and provided more depth. The Problems ****************** Don't expect award wins. The acting was lacking in some corners, partially from poor dialogue scripting, and also from poor acting. Firstly, the character of Palmer is weaker than in the books which is disappointing given she's the lead and heroine. Also, I don't buy Palmer as Diana. Palmer is flat in her portrayal and delivery, at times it seems going through motions. It's not that her Diana is unlikeable, she just doesn't draw you in as in the book. Hopefully she is more comfortable in the second season. The dialogue was not great. Seriously. At times, it was downright cringe and terrible. And this would definitely not help the actors out. For instance, the scene where Matthew and Diana meet. ""You're a vampire!"" stated in monotone. It was like at times they were trying to set the scene and the world, by hitting the viewer over the head with facts and info through dialogue. Viewers don't have to be treated like children, we can work things out if you craft the scene well. I loved the books. I eagerly anticipated the TV show. I'm hoping the second and third seasons in production have much better scripting, and the acting quality is improved. There's so much to work with. Just because it's a supernatural fantasy with vampires, doesn't mean it can't be an interesting, fully realised world with insights. Season 1 wasn't. Fingers crossed for Season 2.",5 "Saw this movie on a camera print DVD yesterday. Usually I never enjoy a movie on this pirated format but this movie is an exception. Kangna rocked as queen and made the audience fall in love with her. Kangna has that endearing quality that most Indian heroines lack these days. She reminded me of Juhi Chawla from not so recent past. The movie is certainly worth a watch. Kangna carries the movie on her shoulders. Rajkumarr(sp?) repeats his role of overbearing cute guy as he did in LSD and Ragini MMS. Halfway through the movie I was worried that the directors will screw up the ending of the movie but they didn't! Enough said, now go watch the movie.",9 "With little clues from the first episode, I'm starting to wonder where the series will take us. It is different from other marvel productions impressed me very much. The acting is awesome. The vision in the comic wanted to be a human in a small town. I hope we will see the importance of this in the following chapters.",9 "Season 1 is just superb. and requires thinking and attention. Unsure how future seasons of Witcher will go, but hopefully not like Vikings or GOT where it became dulled, predictable and pander to people who preferred to be feed rather than think. Those who give it a low rating, either don't know the background to the Witcher story, or just lack the understanding to fathom it while twittering/Instagraming during ""watching"" it. If that's you, best go watch some Kardashian episodes while getting Botox'd",9 I can't deny the filming was amazing. but the action scenes were just dull and so as to the story. I can't really point out what the mistakes were but the movie was dull,6 "Fan review : There's something called as the ""Curse of the second half""- a phenomenon where a film is simply outstanding in the first half raising your expectations to a pinnacle only to dash them to abysmal lows after the interval. It's more prevalent in bollywood than hollywood as those guys avoid intermission point even for their lengthy movies. Fan - SRK's latest wannabe blockbuster suffers badly from the second half curse syndrome. The film starts like a home video of SRK's past achievements - montage of his films, awards, interviews etc. SRK is called Aryan Khanna - an aging superstar on a career downslide who still has enough crazy fans to cause a minor stampede outside his home (exteriors of Mannat). So basically, Aryan Khanna is SRK. His doppelganger fan is dilliwala Gaurav Chandna (SRK again with prosthetics) who considers him God and mimics him to win the ""Kaloney wala competition"" every year. Encouraged by his parents (Deepika Amin- Yogendra Tiku, both adorable), Gaurav travels ticketless to Mumbai to meet Aryan, stays in the same motel as the superstar had during his struggling days and seeks only 5 minutes from him. He does get the opportunity but this meeting with Aryan leaves Gaurav totally disillusioned and angry. It's a very interesting scene which turns the graph of the film completely and director Maneesh Sharma nails it till here. It's interval time. Next, Gaurav travels to London, creates a ruckus at Madame Tussauds and gets Aryan (who's shooting in the city) behind bars for his act. More, Gaurav infiltrates a wedding ceremony where Aryan is performing and gets him humiliated in front of all and sundry. Truly, it's by this point that the proceedings start looking fake and unreal. While in India, no one mistakes Gaurav to be Aryan but the moment he lands abroad, everyone assumes he's the superstar. Howzzat!! Also, Gaurav seems to know the entire work schedule of Aryan right to the minutest of details. Highly unlikely to happen!! It's these glaring cinematic liberties which rob the second hour of its grit and realism. Admittedly, the two chase sequences are well choreographed and Aryan's advice to Gaurav in the violent climax highlights the pertinent point that a superstar should only serve as an inspiration for individual hard work and not as a blind obsession. Stars are also ordinary humans like us. In fact, Aryan Khanna is considerably humanised throughout by making him bear with a rude firangi cop or getting reprimanded by a rich businessman for arriving late at a performance. Performance wise, the film belongs to SRK and he makes both Gaurav as well as Aryan memorable. In a welcome departure from his repetitive acts witnesed in his recent outings, SRK has actually ""acted"" after quite some time. No spreading of arms to demonstrate love, no silly banter bordering on hamming - Fan definitely ranks amongst SRK's better performances in recent times though it's nowhere close to the benchmark he's set for himself in the past - ""Baazigar"" (1993), ""Darr""(1993), ""Swades"" (2004) or ""Chak De India"" (2007). Of the supporting cast, only Shriya Pilgaonkar leaves a mark in her small role. There are no songs in the film; even the popular ""Jabraa Fan"" number is missing. Editing by Namrata Rao could have been tighter in the second half. Ditto for Habib Faisal's sagging screenplay. All said and endured, Fan is an average fare but SRK - the actor elevates it to a cut above the commonplace. His fans will be happy for sure; those who aren't will also not mind. Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.",6 Not Tarantino level. It was very slow and at times it felt he was just dragging the story.,4 "The start of the movie was good but then the movie lost me after 20 mintues. It wasn't engaging enough for me and all of the action wasn't anything new, except Christ Hemsworth kicking kids. There was that ""one"" take scene that was way too long and it felt unnecessary, it just kept going and going, I wish they finished it when the car chase ended. There are also cliche flashback beach scenes that don't contribute to anything plotwise. If it had more explosions it would've felt like a Bay film, instead we got another forgettable action movie (at least Bay films go all in).",3 "There is no doubt Bradley Cooper is a great actor, and needles to say about Gaga, but I think this film has been overstimated at all. Performances are mediocre in both actors, the only thing I recommend in this work is the song Shallow, only that, nothing to do with the film.",4 "Caught this as an in-flight movie which is probably the best way to watch it I'd think. It's loud, flashy and trashy with about as much depth as an empty crisp packet with lots of big stunts and a try-and-keep-up shape-shifting story-line. Four very different magicians, later to be termed the Four Horsemen, are brought together by a mysterious supremo to contrive a high profile, ""impossible"" robbery of a French bank somehow coordinated from their Las Vegas stage-show with a Robin Hood touch of distributing the proceeds to their grateful audience. On their tail is cliché-cop FBI agent Mark Ruffalo, dishevelled, maverick, mildly sexist, you know, the stubbly, tie-needs-straightened type, always apparently three steps behind the criminal gang and a specially assigned, equally stereotypical ice-maiden French Interpol agent whose detective instincts outshine her boorish colleague. From there it's a harum-scarum catch-as-catch-can race onto set-piece number two in New Orleans before climaxing in a predictable big-finish in New York, where all is revealed including the identity of the controlling Mr Big. As for the acting, Michael Caine gets another of his blustering, needless cameos, Morgan Freeman is even more improbably cast as a TV star magician-buster trying to catch up with the group. Ruffalo blusters along gamely however, Woody Harrelson is the leery elder-statesman of the four and I liked the three other younger team-members too. Of course it's all unbelievable nonsense, with a predictable car-chase, martial arts fighting and from-nowhere romance between the seemingly unmatched cops but if like me you go for out-size magic stunts and an outlandishly twisty-turny story, it will happily eat up two hours of your flight time as it did mine.",5 I do not recommend this series if you are not already a fan of the book/games,4 "Hey everyone, I was in the movie, and I was really bored as hell. I do not know why, like the movie isn't really good... I think you should think before watching this movie. I am not telling you not to watch it but I am warning you that you have to see the trailer before watching it. It might not be your type of thing. So good luck, and tell me if you loved the movie or not. Thank You.",4 "I was so excited when I heard Rian is making a sequel for the masterpiece Knives Out. Because that movie was the best murder-mystery I've ever seen yet. Glass Onion is not a direct sequel and I appreciate it not at all relying on its predecessor. But this movie didn't exceed my expectations. I think the main reason for that was 'cause the plot was set-up unlike the first one and it. Acting of some, or more precisely Janelle Monae wasn't very believable or maybe because it's my first time watching her perform. Anyways, the twists were done really well. Makes you wanna watch again. Soundtrack was pretty good too. While it doesn't reach the greatness of the first one, i enjoyed it nonetheless. A good murder-mystery movie experience. 8/10.",8 "I really really love this show, but it should've ended. More Seasons don't make sense to me.",9 "Tom Holland is aggravating and annoying, to put it lightly. The ""jokes"" aren't funny. Gyllenhaal is okay, but I would expect that from one of his ability. And you know there's something badly wrong with a Spider Man movie if Aunt May better looking than MJ. Dreadful stuff.",2 "I'm not sure if this movie was good...Since I have no idea what is was about. The acting was amazing, the cinematography was great. But it was almost to bazaar and I'm am left puzzled and alarmed. And not in a good way. Wtf?",5 "Worst movie of the year! The Academy lost its mind completely. The movie is boring and lacking real content. The plot wasn't going anywhere. After about half an hour I realized the enormity of my mistake to watch this movie. Do yourself a favor, watch any stupid action movie with chases and hot chicks (or studs), just not this crap. Not that I have anything against quality dramas. I saw a lot of these this year and I enjoyed them very much.",2 "This show suffers greatly from the problem that has afflicted every attempt at an adaptation of Terry Pratchett's work to date; Everyone in it is trying to be 'funny'. One of the first rules of good comedy acting is that the people involved should play it straight and allow the comedy to come from the dialogue and situations. For some reason, British actors and directors throw this maxim out of the window when it comes to Pratchett, and instead what we get is a bunch of - for the most part - high quality film and TV stars mugging it up shamefully and trying to be as zany and 'British' as they can possibly be. Honestly, it's embarrassing and quite painful to watch at times.",4 "I think that Stranger Things is an awesome show. It keeps you wanting more and its a breath of fresh air to have really talented children as the main characters in a show that is not necessarily aimed at younger viewers but adults as well. I do however think the show has been so hyped up and slightly overrated when there are shows which don't get the recognition they deserve and are just as good, if not better than Stranger Things!",8 "Another sorry commentary on the current state of our pop culture that this film is rated as of now the 26th best of all time. Advertising, action and special effects over story and characters. Fortunately we have hundreds of movie classics with real movie stars readily available for rental and download to those intelligent enough to want more from the magic of movies. The children who comprise most of today's movie-goers are not interested in thinking, only in sitting back and being ""entertained."" 3-D films came and quickly disappeared in the mid-20th century. Now a new audience thinks that they are beyond a worthless gimmick",3 "Back and forward in time, looks like the chapters are in a wrong order...it get to the point that I though that the actress that played the Queen Calanthe has 2 different roles in the same show.... good and bad are mixed up.....all is evil, people are bad people, genies, dragons queens and kings....what was all about? I couldn't like the main actors..... I really wanted to....",4 "As a kid growing up in the 1970's, I never missed Spider-Man in the comic books and the Sunday paper. By far, my all-time favorite villain and episode(s) involved Doctor Octopus. I was severely disappointed by the first Spider-Man, and had pretty much given up on Hollywood ever doing a proper comic book adaptation. Although the first one was watchable and not too bad, it fell far short of my expectations. At best, it was mediocre. This one not only met and exceeded them, but it utterly overwhelmed them. Finally, I have lived the dreams of my childhood brought to life on the big screen, and clearly CGI has at last achieved its potential. God, but I regret having missed this in the theater! If you ever liked comic books, Spider-Man or the Dr. Octopus episodes then RUN, don't walk, to your nearest video store and rent this. Then RUN, don't walk, and buy it so you can watch it over and over. This film has renewed my hope that Hollywood still has a vision, and still has capable (even excellent) screenwriters, directors, animators and producers. The best movie of 2004, and easily among the five or ten best movies I've ever seen. An easy 10/10.",10 "Greta Gerwig's Barbie is perhaps one of the most ambitious film in recent history. The fact that a filmmaker decides to make a film on such an idea which is equally popular and problematic is brave. It is both a celebration as well as a quip on the Barbie world. Barbie deals with the modern day gender issues and how Barbie (the company) stands as a symbol of all those issues. At the same time it cleverly portrays the emotions involved of all those who love and admire this pop symbol. Margot Robbie is excellent as Barbie. Her performance range is phenomenal. Gerwig uses her aptly. Gosling is cute and is being judiciously used for his charm and handsome vulnerability that he brings. All the supporting casts (most of them are from just one show hence the title of this review) have done their job well. Can't say I am particularly impressed by any one though as there isn't much for them to do. Although Will Ferrel and America Ferrera are an exception as they shines in their limited appearance and steal the show. The music, production design and direction along with Baumbach's writing is outrageously entertaining and often funny as well. The bizarre world of Barbie will be loved not just by the ones who carry a nostalgic baggage of playing with one in their childhood but also to those who have never ever heard about it. Such is the charm of this movie.",8 "The skillful rhythm of American drama makes this film seem to catch people's eyes. All kinds of big background, theme and proposition can not cover up the weakness of plot and depth.",9 A fantastic fun summer movie! Barbie is not at all What I thought it would be. We laughed through the entire movie. Margot Robbie is absolutely perfect as well as America Ferrera. Ryan Gosling plays ken so well with a great twist. The movie had a lot of laughs along with an amazing message. It's hard to be a women and Barbie really shares a perspective that I think most women feel everyday. This is an important show for both females and males to see. I went into the movie with no expectations and came out thrilled and wanting to see it again. I've seen a lot of film this summer and this was my favorite so far!,10 "I really wanted to like the show. There are certain parts that are witty and very hilarious, but it seems the writers have to throw unnecessary F bombs in practically every scene. I quit watching, after the episode where they mocked my religion. And the sad part was they didn't even have to go there. Why stoops so low? I certainly won't let my kids watch this as a result.",2 "Never make a movie about being bored in a foreign country - it's boring. Maybe it's me, but I did not find this movie entertaining, which is the basic objective of any movie, in my opinion. I would like to be moved by a film to cry, laugh, ponder, or cringe; I did none of these except wonder why this movie was made in the first place. I was not moved emotionally or intellectually; I was only moved to boredom trying to find some redeeming value. I have found myself alone in other cities looking for something to do. I've even looked and fantasized about other women, although I'm married. However, I wouldn't expect anyone to find my boredom to be entertaining. I wouldn't expect a film crew to follow me around seeing what mischief or experience I would encounter to assuage my monotony. That, come to think of it, is the perfect word to describe this movie - monotonous.",1 "Gangs of Wasseypur- 2012 Director: Anurag Kashyap Its a story that spans over 7 decades and gets in depth about gang wars, crime, hatred, revenge that gets passed on from one generation to another. Movie screened at Sydney Film Festival is WORTH watching. Gangs of Wasseypur stands firmly on the grounds of Direction, Acting, Screenplay, Story-line, Cinematography, Music & off course The BEST Dialogues. Outstanding performance by Manoj Bajpayee, Richa Chaddha an Nawaz-ud-din Saddiqui. An epic tale about loyalty, crime, lust, treachery and vendetta. A cinematic magnum opus. There is no doubt that Anurag Kashyap is Bollywood's Quentin Tarantino.",8 "This series looks like a million bucks. It draws from a video game source which I've played myself. The series captures the visual appeal and dark tone of the video game, as well as its pitfalls of not having much in the way of story and character. Netflix's ""The Witcher"" is one of the driest fantasy series I've watched. It overloads on complicated place names and character names, and even manages to cast its characters like carbon copies of each other (why do all the female characters look the same?). Henry Cavill, an impossibly charming actor most of the time, seems to drain all the charm out of himself in order to play this stoic character. I'm glad I decided to fast forward to the end of the series to see if anything in this department changed, because it didn't. If you want to hate fantasy just that little bit more, watch this series.",4 "Charismatic leading actors can elevate films of they are well cast and 'The Martian' illustrates this point better than most. Matt Damon has enough screen presence to carry this mess off and carry the audience along with him. A large and illustrious production team also maintain acceptably high production standards and fairly imaginative production design work.....although at no single point did I think that anything looked like it couldn't have easily been filmed on Earth in a studio on a sound stage or semi dessert location. There wasn't a single moment of remarkableness in the visual design of the film. The artistic designs of the space vehicles and space travel seemed particularly unremarkable compared to other contemporary space sci-fi films. The script was miserably distracted from the fairly routine ""Lone survivor"" narrative structure of 'carrying on surviving at any cost' main plot by silly space stories about loads of mundane things: such as extremely likely threats and risks to possible near-future spacefarers; and scientific/engineering challenges, being treated utterly incredibly and implausibily. I did not find this ratio of straight and silly to be a harmonious tonal balance. Thank heavens for Matt Damon. The stand out feature of this feature film. All the other actors could have been ""anyones"", their characters certainly were. Ridley Scott made excellent films, sadly, he now seems to make indulgent films referential only to his own preoccupations. How will his 21st century ouvre be compared to his 20th? My answer is frankly: ""unfavourably"". I rate a 4/10 for a film that greatly disappointed me, but I'd recommend this firmly to Matt Damon fans and indeed, with rather more qualification, to anyone appreciative of star power/screen presence/ leading actors",4 Pretty enough. But empty headed. Like that one night stand with that person. Nothing in common to talk about with him or her after the deed is done. And that little bit of shame for being superficial enough to be glad he/her was pretty...lol,1 "People talks a lot about Black Mirror here and there so i gave it a try. I watched this series with expectations of some mine bending stories but i was disappointed to see only one or two episodes out of 22 episodes consider as ""mind bending"" stories. The main motive behind the series is how technology can change the world in both way, good and bad. If you are going to watch with high expectations then give it some time to adjust according to your expectations and you would probably don't like first season then. For me 4th Season is the best one in entire Black Mirror Seasons but hey, don't go and watch directly 4th season because as i said give it some time to adjust accordingly.",7 Boring. No characters development. No mysterious at all. It's as if you watch a 40-minutes episode of Supernatural stretched to 10 episodes. Big disappointment from HBO.,1 "I understand what their going for, and I see where they want to be. But so far in these 2 episodes it's nothing, but a waste of time there's so much unused Potential. I hate the speed of the show And there's nothing worse than seeing cringe worthy corny jokes. It's too bad I had to wait so long to see this. I'll continue to watch to see if it gets better but so far it's not looking good.",2 I don't like the movie It is kinda boating u will really not enjoy watching this,2 "As a connoisseur of great cinema, it is with great reluctance that I must share my thoughts on the overrated and underwhelming film, ""The Dark Knight."" While it may be seen as a masterpiece by some, I found it to be a tedious and trite experience that failed to deliver on its promised spectacle. The film's opening scene, while visually impressive, sets the tone for the rest of the movie: long-winded and overly serious. Christian Bale's portrayal of Batman is one-dimensional and lacks the charisma and charm of his predecessors. The only notable quality of his performance is that it redeems Katie Holmes' wooden and lifeless performance in the previous installment by taking bad acting to a new level. The film's pacing is also a major issue, with the second act feeling like it drags on forever. The action sequences are lackluster, and the film's attempts at social commentary are heavy-handed and uninspired. The Joker's constant ramblings about society's descent into chaos feel more like a college philosophy lecture than an actual critique of modern society. The film's climax is also a letdown, with the final confrontation between Batman and the Joker feeling anti-climactic and predictable. The film's attempts at a twist ending fall flat, and the resolution is unsatisfying. In conclusion, ""The Dark Knight"" may have been hailed as a masterpiece, but in reality, it is a bloated and overhyped mess of a film. While it may have been praised for its attempt at a darker and more realistic take on the Batman mythos, it ultimately fails to deliver on its promises. Save yourself the time and watch something more deserving of your attention, like ""The Emoji Movie.""",4 "Exaggerated acting ( which even in Korean standards were terrible ) , really long unnecessary guilt trip to poverty. Most of the viewers will bored before the second half and the ones that say they loved the movie are just afraid to be labelled as ignorant or racist. I am not saying this is a terrible movie , but before declaring this one as One of the greatest in Asian cinema , try watching several Asian movies . There is nothing new or nothing eye opening about this movie. It is just another marvel of marketing. Anyway I will not suggest this one to anybody. Go watch les-miserables if you wish to watch a guilt trip movie with a style and quality.",3 Absolute filth. No different so disgusting it ruins the whole show and is extremely sexual frequently during it. Definitely not recommended to anyone,1 "I will never understand what is so good about this movie. It's not terrible but there is nothing original nor particularly well made to justify the good ratings. I enjoyed the action scenes in Korea, but that was pretty much it. The plot is convoluted, none of the characters is interesting, Wakanda is visually gorgeous but CGI gets way too cartoonish during some parts, including the lackluster final fight. Can't see any cultural value either, am I missing something? Too bad because I actually enjoyed Black Panther's first appearance in Civil War.",4 "Indeed,the trilogy changed the way we see the world today and even shaped the view we have of reality today with the development of AI and the way we see the universe we live in.After the movie some speculate if indeed we live in a sort of matrix were nothing is real and all seems real.In resume it had a profound impact among scientists and all the inteligenzia,and if the universe,or the multiverses,- is so vast ,the matrix,like a new religion,has took the place god had has the maker of the universe.In a certain way,this trilogy is the percursor of humanity embracing science has a religion in place of the old gods...We will embrace science as the new religion because is the only path for the advance of humanity into the cosmos and beyhond",4 "Unique concepts. Very good direction, superb acting.. Huge fan of writing this story, screenplay and specially thanks for doing something new..",9 3&1/2 hrs long and still the most re-watchable film by Ashutosh Gowariker; Jodhaa Akbar is a one-of-its kind film where its a mainstream romantic hindi movie while being historically authentic and grandiose in scale while being an entertaining watch and a truly well crafted movie. Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachan deliver great performances in service of a screenplay which hits the perfect notes for its characters at the perfect time and direction and music that only strengthen this already brilliant screenplay. Jodhaa Akbar is a truly magnificent epic if there ever was one.,10 "I'm a full grown man and I must confess this film gave me terrible nightmares for weeks. The aliens in this film were beyond ugly, the look of them made me gasp in horror and the thought of meeting them makes my heart pound faster than the pistons in a 2 stroke motorbike engine. I'm currently seeking therapy just to get myself over this very scary film filled with disgusting looking aliens that terrorise my nightmares. This film is too scary for the rating it has. I think only adults brave at heart should watch this film, don't underestimate this film's savagery.",3 "I thoroughly enjoyed this movie with my girlfriend. Segal has the hurt puppy dog character down pat and he put it to good use in a movie that revolves around it. I am a huge Kristen Bell fan and she certainly brought her A game. Kunis, also smokin hot, really knocked her role out of the park as well. Why no 9 or 10 star rating? The overused male full frontal nudity. It's become a disappointing trend in recent movies. You really don't need that sort of shock comedy with material this strong. Plus it's a bit annoying to have two absolutely gorgeous women as Bell and Kunis and the best we get is a bathroom photo and some bikini time. Seriously disappointed in that. I'm sure your target audience is males in the 18-40 category. Think about it! You don't have to go all porkys on us, but a few T & A shots of these two girls would have gotten you those two extra stars. Much like the birthing shot in Knocked up. Yeah it gets people talking, but it detracts from solid comedy material in my mind. But barring that this was a really funny movie that we enjoyed watching. Mike",7 "Really bad. So bad I created an imdb account to spread the word. A strange and bizarre waste of time. The plot was so bad even with some good actors the movie was still a miss. It was half serious and half trying to be funny but missing both marks terribly. If it were free on TV, I would rather watch antique's roadshow.",2 "Listen up, horror fiends! If you're a fan of Drag Me to Hell, Flatliners or Idle Hands, you're gonna love this gritty and gruesome Australian gem. Supernatural horror film Talk To Me is the theatrical debut of directing brothers Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou, known for their YouTube channel, Racka Racka. Talk To Me's story revolves around a group of friends who stumble upon a peculiar discovery-the ability to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand. What starts as a thrill-seeking experiment (filmed and shared online, naturally) quickly spirals into a terrifying ordeal when one of them takes their curiosity too far, unleashing sinister and supernatural forces upon themselves. With its tightly woven narrative and dry wit, Talk To Me keeps us both engaged and entertained throughout its entire 94 minutes. With this tight and tidy runtime, the story holds a good pace, builds suspense and provides levity in all the right moments-refreshing in an era where unnecessarily long features have become the norm! Talk To Me's raw and gritty cinematography captures everything we've come to love about Australian film. If you enjoyed Animal Kingdom, Snowtown and The Babadook, you'll love the authentic look and feel of this film. But, be warned! Talk To Me contains some brutal, head-smashing scenes that will avert even the biggest gorehound's gaze. I personally haven't seen special effects this realistic and visceral since the Argentinian horror film Terrified. Looking around me at the youngsters in the theatre, and considering the average age of the cast (basically foetal), I wondered if Talk To Me was going to be the average, run of the mill, soft teen horror flick. But, I'm thrilled to say it got under my skin with its interesting story, relatable characters and some pretty convincing performances from lead Sophie Wilde (Mia), newcomer Joe Bird (Riley), and Miranda Otto (Sue). Overall, Talk To Me is one of the most exciting horror movies to emerge from Australia in recent years. So, go watch. Let it in. Possession has never been so much fun!",8 "This is best show from marvel that I've seen. Great writing backed by brilliant acting performances. The visual effects and music was also great. The last episode was a letdown,but still it's good . Waiting for season 2.",8 "City on a Hill: Season 2 started out slow and pointless, it was not as good as the first season. This second season we find Jackie Rohr (Kevin Bacon) teaming up with Aldis Hodge to stop the local African American drug pushers. The show is a Showtime series produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The show portrays the mean streets of 90's Boston. Pernell Grace joins as community activist Grace Campbell but her two kids end up on the wrong side of the law. Jackie tries to make amends with his wife and kid but by the end he loses his Jon with the FBI. I would have thought the series came to an end but it seems season three is right around the corner. The second half of the series was much better but harsher as black on black violence increased and Lauren Banks loses her baby once she is shot by Leon. On a brighter side we get to hear Jill Hennessy's beautiful voice as part of the choir in her church. Overall it's a good series, hope to see a better storyline for the following season.",7 I didn't like the movie as it was filled with complete nonsense,1 "This is my first review at imdb and tbh I really wanted to love this movie I did. But it just didn't work for me. It was a movie, it had Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in it but it was nothing groundbreaking. Rather, some metaphors were made that didn't land, Some social commentary was mixed which while I totally get it but It just didn't deliver. The plot had loose ends and loopholes. I also couldn't connect with Margot despite her being the leading role. It just was a disappointment. Especially after all the publicity and riot that this movie is on social media. You can watch the movie. It's watchable but thats all that I can say about it.",5 "Whether you own a pet or not, you'll feel you own Charlie. Man, such movies are the ones which come rarely. Don't miss it. The acting especially by the dog, god promise I felt it. The eyes of dog did the magic. Everything else is just perfect the direction and I loved the soundtrack and cinematography most. The only thing I felt lack was the second half was too long and suddenly scenes are cut to another.",9 "I like sci-fi movies that expand your mind and make you think a little more. I found this movie frustratingly slow to get going and keep your interest. I just saw it at a dollar theater and am glad I didn't pay full price when it first came out. The basic concept was interesting. The best of the movie is in the last 45 minutes. I have to admit that I was expecting better - I purposely didn't read the IMDb customer reviews beforehand as I didn't want any spoilers or preconceptions. I really wanted to like this movie more, but sadly I didn't. There were so many parts of the story that were hard to follow and understand at times. Obviously from the ratings I'm in the minority. I would say this is a movie for real sci-fi buffs and enthusiasts. Not a bad movie, but not a great one either. But judge for yourself - this is only my opinion.",6 "It js a great movie with right amount of pacing, acting and storytelling. I believe movies like this are very good way to tell the stories of people that will always be remembered. Thank you John Nash for all of your efforts that took us forward. I can't say the movie was perfect but it was indeed a good one, I would suggest.",7 "I grew up with Lost In Space absolutely loved this show as a kid growing up and still love it to this day I am 56 years old with that being said the show is good right up until the Dr. Smith character gets involved in anything period, this persona script does not go and the actor well sucks period what can I say. No Dr. Smith you might save this series or better yet get a better one with a different persona, one that is entertaining please. So disappointed and sadden.",3 "I am not the biggest Jim Carey fan in the world but I liked his last movie and figured I would give this one a try. I have read the reviews of this movie and I for one cannot figure out why I disliked this movie so much. I will have to hand it to Jim Carey and Kate Winslet for good job of acting, but I could not make head nor tail of this movie. After an hour I had to walk out, and yet the critics are praising this movie to the sky. Maybe it is because I am older and I like a movie that is entertaining and is not a message sender. I glad I saw it at a preview and did not pay for it, and as far as I am concerned I would suggest skipping this one, but if you got to see it, RENT IT.",2 "I am not a fan of Nolan, never was, but this is more than just a matter of taste. The first hour or so seems like an eternal movie trailer, with hyped epic music and painfully neurotic short cuts (I don't know if the whole movie has a shot longer than 3 seconds). Now, onto the dialogues: they are insufferable. Nolan apparently sees his viewers as complete idiots who know nothing, so the dialogues are crammed with unnecessary information. This especially sounds ridiculous in dialogues between 'scientific geniuses' - they are full of information that participants in the dialogue already know (""He's Einstein, the father of relativity"" etc.). Sex scene. Who the hell stops in the middle of sex and goes to the bookshelf to admire books someone has? Really? Character. Nolan basically figured out long time ago that the best way to develop a character is to put him in an ethical dilemma. And, apparently, the only way. So with Oppie here, we are just looking at another Dark Knight, who now appears to be a nuclear physicist. Not to mention the worst part of it - the whole movie is about whether what he did was ethical and whether he is an American patriot, and not about probably the worst thing that happened in that war after the Holocaust! I may not be a history buff, but these tour the force bombs obliterated a couple of hundred thousand people, making it one of the worst war crimes that ever happened on this planet. On a brighter note, the costumes and make up or whatever were pretty good, so 2 stars for that.",2 "This film should barely scratch out a spot in the top 250, let alone be one of the top ranked films of all time. It is rather dull, extraordinarily predictable, and filled with clichés. This is not even the best prison film, let alone #2 among all films! Cool Hand Luke or Papillon anyone? I'd give it a 7-8/10 (Freeman & Co. do not disappoint), but someone needs to bring down this bloated rating. The film is little more than a rehashing of conventional sentimentalism painted in prison stripes and sold in bulk to a (apparently) gullible audience. Help bring this down to a reasonable position so that more deserving films can attain their proper recognition.",4 "First two episodes were good and intriguing, but unfortunately after that it just looked more and more like a fanfic, from Loki's realtionship with Sylvie to the dialogue. I only finished because there might be repercussions to the next MCU movies but I probably won't watch the next season.",5 Omg ... The focus of this season is just on Islamofobie 😡,1 This takes me back when there were only three networks and you were force to watch tripe like I Love Lucy or Petticoat Junction. I felt like a hostage watching this cringy show. It took me back to a time where TV sitcoms ruled the airways. Unfortunately they were bland and not funny. I hope this gets better. I will stick around for the third episode but if it doesn't get better I will bury it in the old sitcom graveyard.,2 "It is Pocahontas in space. The characters are shallow and boring. Sam Worthington is as loveable as a piece of wood. The script is just as innovative as the name of the mineral ""unobtanium"". Seriously? Unobtanium? The gun crazy general wants to get the job done so he can get home in time for supper. Seriously? Murrica. Even Sigourney Weaver is boring in this movie. So the directing leaves a lot ot be desired. It came to the theaters in 3D and forced us to wear those silly glasses for many years because some movies would only come in 3D, a trend that has thankfully died. Yes yes, it looks good. But it's still a fairly boring world James Cameron created.",3 "Huh what to say, Netflix is meant to be big bang star cast, nudity, mockery on Hindu mythology and abuses. So this series is nothing but the mix of meaning of Netflix which I described above.",2 "Boring. Amazing amounts of money spent to make this movie. Even more amazing amounts of money spent to see it. For the vast fortune spent on C.G.I. nothing shown is real. It's all fake cartoon visuals meant to distract the viewer from the lack of original plot. Twenty five minutes of viewing is all that is required to know the movie's entire story arc. I know this movie isn't about being great, its meant to showcase the technology of film-watching and the justification to someday charge $20 for a movie ticket. I understand that in our sh*tty economy we will someday have to pay $20 for a movie ticket all I ask is for my money's worth.",2 "Barbie represents opression of women all around the world ruled by men. Ken represents manhood without capitalism or without a genital... blah blah blah... This movie should not have been a political satire. It should have been a fantasy romance comedy musical such as Entangled or Disney movies. I left the movie theater after its first 30 minutes so if this one didn't turn out to be a masterpiece in the remaining 1:30 hour of its runtime I had much more funtime wandering under hot sun than watching Barbie... Robbie and Gosling are as good as they could get with this absurd writing and directing. My rating is 3/10 only for the sake of its starting level production staff, PA, Gathering servants who worked for minumum union wage.",3 "I fail to see how this film is so highly rated, the film bored me to death, it seemed like over half the film was slow, tedious buildup revealing how Wayne became isolated from the outside world after taking the fall for Dents death, and although this was done well, the film failed to grab my attention throughout. The film introduced a set of new characters such as Blake and Foley but it failed to develop the characters and I felt no attachment to them. As for Bane, the main villain in the film, the character was incredibly false, the characters crippling mask led to there being a voice-over for Bane, which took away from any atmosphere, it just felt like Bane was speaking via a recording studio, no matter where the location, the voice never changed in volume or acoustics. As for Catwoman there was nothing sexy about the character, every kiss was done when the camera was at the back of a characters head, blocking the kiss itself, there was no sexy combat either, as done in other Movies and Video Games, the sexiest she got was trapping a villains hand with her high heel but that was it. It seemed like she was just thrown in a cheap attempt to boost interest/paying customers, but there was no reward When it came to acting Christian Bale did a great job, however even his aggressive Batman voice seemed half-hearted, Oldman, Hathaway and Gordon-Levitt gave good performance but with 50% of Banes face covered by metal and leather its difficult to say Tom Hardy did a good job. However, the real star of the film was Michael Caine, he had a number of emotional scenes and delivered brilliantly where he held back tears and struggled for words and made me appreciate the genius he has. There weren't that many graphics in the film apart from a few gadgets (in which there were only one or two) and some random explosions (believe me, the scene in the baseball stadium in the advert is as good as it gets) If you are reading this and thinking, how can I say these things, look back at The Dark Knight, compare the acting, villain and tension from that film with this one and you should understand what I mean, I felt more under threat when watching Heath Ledgers Joker than Tom Hardys Bane *Slight spoiler* (not even a cameo from Liam Neeson could save DKR) In conclusion this film is a boring, long-winded and unthrilling motion picture with mediocre acting and unimpressive visuals, Catwoman seemed to be thrown in and the poor voice acting for Bane made the character seem unbelievable and artificial, the film just seems to rely on its franchise after Nolan's The Dark Knight to win over fans and it seems to have worked on the majority - if you want a thrill ride with the Batman name go see The Dark Knight on DVD because that is a much better film than the DKR - cheers for reading",5 "Shahrukh is always proves, no any came better act compare to another .",10 "Wanted more Daredevil Punisher. The story line got pretty boring. Could have completely done without the female cop story line, just annoying and unnecessary.. Too many flashbacks. Story line drags. Lost interest with too many sub-plots. But most frustrating, Netflix had to go and ruin the show appeal by pandering to the liberal, anti-gun, troops are bad, guns are bad, white Christian NRA members are bad, pc bullish!t! Add some feminism to the mix to appease all of the liberal left. Again, Hollywood sh!t on a good thing! Why does there always have to be some political bs agenda being preached in every damn show now! Netflix, you had a perfect opportunity! All around disappointment.",3 "30 minutes of messing about trying to be Deadpool, before it settles down and gets on with the story. Product placement is annoying and intrusive and interrupts the flow of the film. The story is predictable but the concept is fun. The action is big and loud and lacks excitement while the cast are good and do as well as they can with what they've got. It was entertaining as a popcorn flick. I think it could be more and, strangely, want to see a second film. It could become an action equivalent to Fast and Furious.",5 "I'm not sure how this has such good reviews. The story is slow and lacks action. None of the episodes grip you to want to continue watching. Such a shame as Disney don't release much new content, so when they do you expect it to be much better than this.",4 Action scene is well ploted. Overall good movie to watch . Go for it if you are looking for gun fight action.,7 "When I saw the movie back in 2016 I was really looking forward to the resurgence of great Hollywood musicals. How disappointing can a film be. One of the most forgettable movies let alone musicals. 6 Oscars??? Come on. If it had been Lo Lo London or RoRo Rome would it have had a look in at the La La Oscars . I don't think so. 3 years on I cant remember a single tune, I admit there was a nice one but so utterly forgettable. I certainly wasn't hummin it as I left the theatre. The contrived opening scene with the cars could have been so much better with some original imagination and the only other scene I vaguely remember with the dancing to the stars, I think that is where that vaguely forgettable nice tune was..",1 "I wanted to write a review after I began watching season 2 of Loki. The series initially suprised me by how good it was in the first three episodes of season 1. It had a very interesting premise, Loki being for once in a position where he does not hold all the cards and has to trick his way to the top in an completely foreign institution of the time keepers. It hooked me immediately with all the interesting concepts of bookkeeping time to suit a particular timeline that should never be broken. Loki as the trickster who feels multiple things wrong with that idea teams up with Mobius played by Owen Wilson to tople the institution. It was a joy, because it has very good pacing, the actors have chemistry and thank god no overuse of marvel humor. There is still some but you get to ignore it for there are too many intruiging story elements in this series. What I don't want to skip to mention is the human element in this series. One that is always reduced down to cheesiness and failed attempts at comedy in other marvel productions. Here the directors decided to let characters breathe, sit on their sorrow or let the story sink in. Small details like Morbius asking Loki on his mental state or side characters having their moments as they deal with new exposition is done with good pacing. Season 2 looks like more of the same, so I will say yes thank you, another!",8 "Everything is 10/10 until I saw some scenes that not belong to the books.. Rhaeynes targaryen deserves more focus on her role in this show, her roles in the books and her presence and status in the books are critical! Also a lot of characters unfairly disappears from the show even though they have critical roles. And of course the changing in the genetic traits of some characters and houses such as House of Velaryon. The writers are bad and Sara Hess with her agenda will destroy this show if she writes another episode or more episodes and her statements is the proof.. we will see many differences between the books and the show if she continue force the world society problems ""now"" in the show, with this kind of writers I think that we won't get far. We want a clean show without agenda as GoT !!",6 "Too slow, unnecessary plot twists, I can't understand why it has such a high rating. Wasted 10 hours of my life.",4 "This was the ninth MCU movie and hands down the best one yet (IMO) when it was released. They finally had a complex interesting layered story that matched the action effects. To me, this one was the real beginning of the saga that carried through the two Infinity War movies. It did not tie in with the Infinity Stones but captured the style that made the subsequent ones so good.",9 "The movie and the book, always a huge argument ""the book is always better"" some may say. In my personal Opinion the book and the show Thirteen Reasons Why, were extremely different. Some things I enjoyed about the show were that it went much more in depth into Clay's life than the book, it also showed flashbacks of Hannah's experiences. Although some may say the book is always better, I definitely preferred the show ""Thirteen Reasons Why"" over the book.",8 "Wow, what a ride. Just saw it for the first time, and even though it felt overly convoluted, the visual effects are pretty interesting as well as the story. It definitely should be on some of the bigger lists of the year for its look into the subject of lucid dreaming and for its original filmmaking. It's a bit hard to wrap your mind around what depths the movie goes for after only one viewing, but I cheated and read the plot on Wikipedia beforehand to know what cues to look for as well as to study where the team in the movie are going next. The believability of a man so consumed with his look into lucid dreaming and its involvement with his family life and legal status in the United States sounds simple enough on paper, but Nolan really reached ridiculously far out there to make the story twist around on itself, perhaps a little too much. As much as it's praised, I don't really remember the soundtrack at all, and why Nolan needed Hans Zimmer to pair with Johnny Marr I'll never understand. The ending was touching and it mirrored similar films such as What Dreams May Come, which I thought was very weird and coincidental. Anyways, I enjoyed it. I found it very enjoyable even though most of the parts dragged when it came to DiCaprio's character dealing with his projections of his wife. I found it was convenient the way Elle Page's character would end up finding a way into every aspect of Cobb's life in the first week of meeting the guy, too. So some of this story is lacking logic, but it is sci-fi and should be followed only for as long as the film allows. Overall, 7/10 stars because even if I don't watch it over and over again, I can respect the time put into the story and the technical achievements they made with its filming.",7 "The series has been remodeled to include women with skills, non-Caucasian's, three dimensional characters and casual humour. Very well done. Enjoyed every episode. Small complaint - Dr Smith got on my nerves but so did the original and that is the character's function. There were a couple of times when some logic applied to the situation would have helped and should have occurred to the characters given their demonstrated intelligence but, again, I can see this was used to heighten the tension. But I do not hesitate to recommend this series wholeheartedly and am looking forward to the next season.",8 "What's with all these negative super critical reviews. It's fun. It's not too violent. If anyone ever watched the original, the story lines were pretty bad back then and still people like the original Lost in Space. Today all shows move way too fast. It's entertainment. Just go with it. I watched the whole series on 2 days and I'm usually pretty critical but I liked it. I'm not sure any studio will take the chance to slow down the story line like the old days because people are just not used to that anymore so I guess we just have to accept the high velocity entertainment. They still manage to make a show I will keep watching.",8 "Knives Out is one of my Top 10 favorite films of all time so I went into Glass Onion with VERY high expectations and not only did Glass Onion surpass those expectations, I would say that this is on par with the original film almost to a point where I have difficulty saying which film I like more because both are brilliant in their own ways. Rian Johnson did a magnificent job of creating a brand new story here with a bunch of fun characters. All of the characters here are great in their own way. They play off of each other very well and they are developed well enough to care about what they are doing. The characters in the first Knives Out are fleshed out just a little bit more but they are still amazing here. Every actor here was bringing their A Game. Daniel Craig is still doing a fantastic job at playing now one of my favorite characters in film history Benoit Blanc but the rest of the cast is amazing as well with Janelle Monáe and Edward Norton doing a fantastic job with their characters especially Monáe. The writing and story are fantastic. Johnson did a great job at weaving a fun story that has many layers to it like the title of the film suggests. Every idea and setup that Johnson throws in there gets payed off in some way by the end of the film and every single payoff is wonderfully hilarious or very well written. Speaking of humor, this film is hilarious. There are a small handful of cringy jokes here and there but almost every joke here landed. I liked how this film's aesthetic falls into a season like the first film did. Knives Out has a special Fall vibe to it that I adore and Glass Onion has a Summer vibe to it that I also adore. I definitely see myself watching both during their respective seasons. I would VERY highly recommend checking this out as this is easily one of my favorite and one of the best films of the year and you don't need to context of the original film to understand this so check this out as soon as it drops on Netflix.",10 "I was so bored with the fighting at the end, it ruined the whole movie. And why does Johnny Depp sound like he's drunk, but hardly ever drinks? The special effects were nothing compared to other movies this summer. I think I'll go see ""Seabiscuit"" again, so I can forget about this stinker.",2 "This movie is really cool. The basic plot involves a guy (Stephen Chow) who wants to get into the Axe Gang in circa 1930 Shanghai by impressing them with how much of an arch criminal he is. He decides to pick on an apartment block inhabited by the working poor and triggers a massive confrontation between the landlady of the block and the working poor on one side and the Axe Gang and their hired thugs on the other. Both sides turn out to be more than they seem and the confrontation quickly escalates into a battle filled with Chinese Magic and Fighting Arts. Wah Yuen steals the show as the iron-fisted landlady, marching around in a silk house robe, hair in curlers, puffing away on her ever present cigarette while shouting orders. Really a fun, fun movie to watch. My only complaint is that some of it is a little hard to follow, and I would blame that on the translation. The movie was made in Chinese and I generally watch foreign language films with the subtitles rather than dubbed, because I like to hear the way the actors sound when they are saying something while I read the subtitle. But the subtitles didn't quite seem right, so I switched to the dubbed version, and that didn't seem quite right either. So I watched it dubbed with the subtitles and half the time the dubbed spoken English didn't agree with the English subtitles. So a really crappy job of translation makes this a 9 instead of a ten. Other than that, the acting, the visual effects, the camera work, the choreography, the comedy, the story are all first rate and make for a spectacular show.",9 "This was a movie filled with humor that just did not make me laugh. It was a very blase movie. Both Jonah Hill and Michael Cera, have to be 2 of the most overrated actors along with Seth Rogan. This trifecta of actors are ... to put it politely , overly dull, in everything they do. No personality to speak . Christopher Mintz Plase, ironically, the new kid on the block, shined as the ultimate nerd, he was very funny and kept this film from being rated a 1. These gags were all done before. The plot is about as common as the housefly. This was just a film that did not need to be made. I can only hope that this film is the last of these stupid teen wannabe love stories. Comedy is not pretty sometimes , in this case its downright ugly.",3 "Ok - it's not awful, but it's not great. Misfits (first 3 series at least), did this idea much better nearly 20 years ago. It's an average story somehow stretched to 10 hours where 4 to 5 would've done - we're used to that after the Netflix Marvel shows. My biggest issue was just how much the production decides to take you out of the moment to do something they hope will be considered different, or artistic or award worthy (god knows what they were going for to be honest). This is never more clear than in the first episode - the soundtrack to this show is great, but every time you hear a song kick in, you know you are in for a set piece. In episode 1, we get Tiffany's ""I think we're alone now"" - it's a nice couple of minutes, looks pretty - but totally takes you out of the show and makes you wonder if you may have accidentally flicked over to a well shot and directed version of MTV. I need Netflix shows to tell me the story in the time it takes to tell and no more - Unbrella Academy seems to have found new stylistic ways to pad out the episodes compared to the Marvel shows, but it's still padding.",6 "The sense I really got from the film was that it tried to incorporate too many concepts and story lines into a single film and in the end failed. The greatest flaws were (1) A distinct problem with characterization. For example, Doyle was never even really introduced before his untimely death. His sole purpose was to fuel 'grief' and 'tension' between Conn and Brands – but it failed even at this. For many audiences, they probably never even remembered who Doyle was 5 minutes after his death. Soon after this, Nolan had the chance to redeem himself by showing the toll that 23 years of waiting had on Romilly. Instead, a many who has been in solitude for 23 years shows remarkable sanity. Days later he dies in an explosion that is not only unremarkable but denies the audience a chance of having any empathy for Romilly. Tom, Conns son, is never characterized properly in the first act. Subsequently Nolan attempts to incorporate him with a series of videos from home. It does allow the audience to relate to him somewhat, but this is squandered by a poor foundation. Later on, his relationship with Murph seems shallow and unintimate. He is not even mentioned by Conn when he returns from the tesserect, one begs to ask is Tom even Conns son. I would also say that Mann's character is completely unnecessary and serves little purpose. Nolan has undoubtedly placed Mann in an attempt to portray the thematic concern of humanity's ability for corruption and selfishness. Mann is the fallen knight, the expression of humanity's dark side. Yet the failure of Nolan to really push this thematic concern earlier on really makes Mann's role incongruent to the bigger picture in the movie. Finally Brands relationship with Conn is not realized in any meaningful way. She gives a speech on how Love transcends time – yet this seems contrived and artificial. What's more incongruent is her love with ""Edmonds"" who we never even see in person and who we can not empathize with in any manner. Furthermore one wonders why Conn chooses to go back to Brands at the ending of the movie; is it friendship or is it love? One surmises it is love; but this is not made clear at all. 2) Nolanfailed to understand Science fiction as a genre. Look at the classics which have really shaped science fiction as a genre. Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey. One of the keys to Kubrick's film was the black monolith whose role is only implied but never explained. This intrinsic mystery is a facet that is replayed again and again; thick paper cranes in Blade Runner. There was no real sense of mystery in interstellar. Nolan was too technical in his film and attempted to pass fake science as real science. I agree that science fiction utilizes fake science; but almost all film makers either portray the science as completely (1) impossible e.g. Star trek or (2) Possible and believable e.g. Gravity and Gattaca. When you try to explain real science – do it properly or don't do it at all. The science of Interstellar would have been acceptable if Nolan had simply not gone to great lengths to explain it to the audience and make it seem real. OVERALL impressions - quite disappointing from Nolan. Too many ideas and characters and not enough coherence to really make it a profound film.",7 "Let me start with the aspects of the film I like. Hanks' performance is utterly believable and touching. He makes Forrest seem utterly believable and sympathetic in spite of the cognitive challenges the man faces. The emotional climax of the story-Forrest visiting a person's grave-is very moving and it gives the appearance of grace to the entire film. Likewise, Forrest the character is a unique take on an American life and at least on the basic level of nostalgia I can get beyond his story. Lt. Dan and Jenny, to a far lesser degree, are also good characters. Apart from that there isn't much to like about this film. The main problem is the film has a cheap homespun conservatism to it that feels utterly banal and hateful to the social upheavals and yes progress of the 60's-70's. The film goes out of its way-literally at times-to mute liberal messages and its treatment of leftists (dysfunctional all according to the film) is off putting. It is not so much wrong as unbelievably disconnected to the history. Jenny's fate is especially cringe inducing in light of this aspect. Technically the film hasn't aged well. The special effects to insert Forrest into archival footage doesn't really work anymore. The feather looks really fake at the beginning of the film as well. It is a little baffling that this beat out 4 great films at the Oscars.",5 "Rating Kota Factory based on its first season is like rating a dish based on the first bite. What is it with 5 episode series, making us wait for years before coming up with something new?",5 "What on earth were Michael Bay, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese thinking. This movie has an interesting storyline that is satisfying if not a little too cliché but it fine, and if it wasn't for the constant jump cuts that were so overdone this movie would have even been okay, instead I felt like I wasissing half the story. Jump cuts are okay to use during intense scenes to provide us with constant information about the action. Instead in this movie there are jump cuts in almost every scene and due to this the dialogue didn't make much sense, I had a hard time actually keeping up with what was happening because it didn't make sense. The dialogue was written awfully aswell, the jokes didn't land probably because half the joke was cut away. This felt like watching a really long trailer more than a film and was a waste of such a great actor like Ryan Reynolds. I do not recommend watching this movie.",3 "Quite often, a project has its worth enhanced by the names attached to it and that is exactly what happened with Gravity. Having Clooney, Bullock and Cuaron's names attached elevated a particularly average (often borderline awful) movie about an astronaut floating in space to a level it doesn't deserve to be at. Then there's also the 3D aspect. I purposely neglected to see this in 3D, as a movie shouldn't need to be seen a certain way to be appreciated. I DO appreciate that using a particular technique or say, a big action flick being filmed for IMAX screens has benefits but it only makes the experience more fun or more engrossing, it doesn't affect the movie in any other way than cosmetically. So when I'm told 'you have to see Gravity in 3D; it's meant to be seen in 3D', that's great but if you take away the 3D there should still be a great cinematic spectacle to experience. Instead, what you're left with, is Sandy Bullock floating about in space for 70 minutes, seemingly losing her grip on reality. Maybe this was a cinematic gold for some people, but for me it just left me feeling a little lost as to what all of the fuss and hype was about.",4 "I'm not an Addam's Family fan. I decided to check out this series due to Tim Burton's involvement, although Burton has had many more misses than hits of late. To my pleasant surprise, I would the first four episodes of the first season, which were all directed by Burton, to be extremely entertaining. Jenna Ortega's superb characterization makes an odd character very likable. That's the key to making this series work. However, to my disappointment, with episode five came Gough and Millar's trademark melodrama and over-the-top character angst. That killed this series for me. If you liked the melodrama of Smallville, you'll like this series as well. Personally, I would have preferred the series to have focussed primarily on Jenna Ortega's winning performance, rather than having it subverted into another one of Gough & Millar cookie-cutter teen soap operas.",6 "I honestly enjoyed the film enough to return to it again. It's an entertaining whodunit film with half of it being a reveal, which I wasn't quite sure if I liked it or not. I understand that whatever put on screen was meant to push audience to see what the director wants to see, but somehow this film really made me annoyed. Some of the reveals were so on the nose, that you could immediately reply a statement said by any character with exactly the answer that we would get later. It was quite irritating for me. The trick is as old as time, I guess, but it's okay, how it is done and presented is what a story for. However, again, with the directing, I was left so frustrated because normally when I watch a whodunit film, I would want to feel included in mystery solving. I would feel so much joy when I found something in the background, but this was not that kind of film. You would be entirely guided by Benoit Blanc who would kindly point out all the important details for you. Every clue and hint is served to you on a platter as you sit and watch. You never got to experience the thinking or the finding, you were just told. You didn't get to see any clue because you know what, the director didn't let you see any clue unless it was the revealing time. And I'm still annoyed that we never saw the most important item in the whole film. Because you know what, we the audience would have known it immediately who lied if we saw it. The director didn't want that and that's something that I couldn't let go. Though frankly, Benoit Blanc revealing things was still quite satisfying so I didn't hate this.",6 "A lot of people like this film, supposedly. I haven't actually met any of them, but I gather these people marvel at the subtle progression of the relationship between Bill Murray's world-weary actor and Scarlett Johansson's neglected young wife. To them, those moments where the camera sweeps back and forth, back and forth behind Miss Johansson sitting in her underwear on a windowsill, looking out over the soulless grey cityscape probably come across as poignant. They may even feel the home movie style montages of the neon-lit city streets capture the ambiguous atmosphere of urban Japan in a quaint, yet wilfully spontaneous fashion. I suspect these same people could watch paint dry and glean intellectual fulfilment from dreaming up all sorts of dynamic subtext to enliven the gleaming Dulux finish as it dries to a subtle matt shade of 'gentle fawn'. I am not one of these people. I am one of those philistines who found the music muzak and the montages pointless and cack-handed. The acting is commendable however and the relationship between the two leads is handled with charm, but these successes are hamstrung by the movie's biggest failing: it is a short film. It is ten minutes of drama, padded out with 90 minutes of fluff that only helps the audience truly empathise with how dull getting stuck in a hotel room can be. Though hotel rooms have mini-bars and cable television and, if you're lucky, a bidet. When I saw Lost in Translation in the cinema, I had none of these amenities and therefore came very close to walking out and/or slipping into a coma. I have never suffered such a tedious experience in a movie theatre. So, in conclusion, if you are one of the lucky ones who can take a block of wood and then carve it into a fantastic figurine using only the power of your imagination, then I recommend going to see Lost in Translation: it is a big, blank block of wood, perfect for your creative talents. If, however, you go to see a film expecting to be entertained by what's on the screen, expect to be disappointed.",3 "DIRECTION: 10 ACTING: 14 ( +1 Extra for Pankaj Tripathi, Rajkumar Rao & Abhisek Bachhan & Aditya Roy Kapoor) MUSIC: 10 Reality: 6 Finally a good movie in the year of Pandemic...

It was completely unnecessary and brutal. I'm not sure if the idea was to sicken animal lovers, or just add on to the already horrific fact that nearly 30 thousand dolphins are Savagely mutilated then thrown back into the ocean to drown every year! It was entirely too upsetting to continue watching the series.",6 "This discussion on Free Will almost takes this to religious heights, as a programer (Karl Glusman) is selected for the highest tier of the technology company.

I've never seen a war/dramamovie that was soooo boring. Wasted 2 hours of my life for this stupid movie.,1 "This movie deserve most of the Awards. Amazing Acting by everyone, Direction, Music, Story, everything Beautiful. It made me emotional, I cried, connected to it, I love Animals but I never had any Pet. This shows most of the aspect, challenges of having a Pet. It showed Love & Bonding perfectly between owner and Pet. And with a really important social Msg. Dieing to see these kind of Movies in Indian Cinema. No Hero-Heroine Romance, Melodrama here Charlie is the Lead+Heroine. Oscar goes to none other than CHARLIE.",9 "Yes, it some people like this trash heap, but I was roped into watching this dung heap. Margot is hottie, but other than that, there is no reason for any adult, sane male to watch this junk. My sense of humor has aged with me to the point of silly 'gags' that are supposed to be funny just aren't anymore. Yes, I forced my self to actually finish watching it on Cable so I could at least take a break and get of a leave to find something actually worthwhile eating. As a child, I love my Mattel Hot Wheels while my sister had her Barbies. I tried dolls with 'Major Matt Mason' to go into space. The movie Barbie had a few tracks that were momentarily entertaining but they never lasted for the whole song. Pink was never my favorite color and pretty much the entire movie is in pink. While watching it, I could wait for it to end. It didn't end fast enough.",3 "While this is far more of a ""magic forward"" series than GoT or even Lord of the Rings (complete with a climactic battle fought mostly between pyrotechnic mages), I actually didn't mind that in the least. I found something endearing in people travelling about the muddy countryside or scrambling up dusty mountain paths in clothes more fit for a palace because, well, they're mages, even if it is a bit absurd if you think about it. They ordered a bunch of larva from the Wrath of Khan, and a tent from the Harry Potter supply store as well. The bigger problem with the series is the time jumps between different periods where we get tons of backstory for the main characters, but there is little payoff and the whole thing seems a setup to get you to watch the 2nd season. Like a trailer, we jump back and forth in the story to get a specific point, but I was left feeling we weren't really told an actual story here. Just teased one. There's only a little less sex and nudity than Game of Thrones, and even more hardcore violence, so put those kids to bed if you haven't already, but at the end there isn't much dramatic tension to keep my interest. Sometimes you just want to be told a real story.",6 "The King T' Chaka is speaking Zulu to his son. If you want to make up a fake country and use any African dialect or a made up one sure, go ahead, but we love Marvel also and you owe it to African viewers to be authentic. If you hire a South African actor, good for you but he has to speak a Nigerian dialect or then change the name of the country he is representing. You have producers you pay for that reason! But the Hollywood idea of thinking only of American viewers who see ""other languages"" as gibberish is offensive to us who understand and pay money only to see have our cultures misrepresented. Hollywood has produced quite a few movies with African actors speaking different languages and pretending to be having a conversation. Yes, its acting! I know someone is going to say that!",6 Very well directed and acted series david tenant is amzing as always Some episodes are great and they are very intelligently crafted.,8 "All the stories are interesting Acting is top-notch But this type of movie could be hit or a flop due to Editing, and the editing is amazing and superb. Love every frame of this movie.",10 "One would think that if you assembled a cast of good actors and made a passable whodunnit with a fair, hackneyd plot and then added a spoof factor, it would work. Not so. This is a film to sleep through. The spoof factor is submerged in the sheer tedium of the pace. The cast performance is woeful, the sound levels are dreadfully managed, the camera work is weak, film is an hour too long and from intro to credits the pace never leaves the flat line. Destined for the bottom ranks of the streamers.",2 "OK... I saw this movie like half an hour ago, so this review is as fresh as your neighbours mowed lawn on a Saturday morning. Please keep in mind that i did not read the comics, and don't know a ton about the characters backstory, so i'll only review this based on the movies. A movie should be able to stand on its own. As is custom with my reviews: good sides first. It has proper acting: This is basically a no-brainer. Marvel always has good casting choices so even the new comer Spiderman (Tom Holland) did a pretty good job as a jolly kind of Spiderman. All of the characters do their jobs and give you a feeling like time is not even passing. Thumbs up. Proper CGI: It is a Marvel movie so there will be tons of CGI, and it payed off quite nicely. Remember the third Hobbit movie? That moment when you saw the Elven army? HOLY CGI! That is not the case here. It all looks good, so i got nothing else to say here:) Thumbs up. The Story is also nice: The movie has a nicely developed story-line, and with a few twists and turns along the way, made it very entertaining to watch. Again; thumbs up. Now for the bad parts, cause the movie does have them. The story is weirdly developing: I know i said that the story is nice, yet there are also moments that are weird. Characters jump into the action without any previous knowledge about said characters, and they seem to change their opinions about each other very quickly. There is little consistency in a bunch of characters when looking at their opinions. Plots seem to disappear: There are several plot moments that just seem to vanish in the background because other stuff is happening. Someone stole a deadly virus, and we'll never hear from it again after 10 minutes.... What? What happened there? (Also, very quickly, there are more references to The Avengers movies. Like Marvel really needs to remind us about those movies that were already shoved down our throats) Characters jump in suddenly: We get to see a new character: Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), but where did he come from? Honestly he just shows up and everyone is like; ""Ok... new character. Welcome to the club."" Who is this guy? What do we know of him? What are his powers? Does he have powers? I want to know Marvel! Don't keep me in the dark here! No consistency: We have seen how Cap' can hold his own against Iron Man, but in this movie he gets tossed around by characters who (as far as we know) have no special powers. There is also this moment when he runs past cars on a freeway, so like 50ish mph. But that happens only once. Later, when speed is needed, he just runs like a normal person... He couldn't run any faster? Whas there a speed limit now? These and more moments make the movie very flawed, but i'll never say it wasn't entertaining. But i guess that is what Marvel does. It is always very entertaining, but when you search for the logic, you can just keep searching...",7 "Satisfying, good movie, but the only great part of this movie is the magnificent performance by Morgan Freeman. An apparently inspired Tim Robbins rises above his very mediocre talent and delivers an adequate performance. Ham-handed attempts at profundity in every scene get tiring as is the use of every prison movie device, character, and cliche in the history of hollywood.",3 "The issue is with the identity propaganda American culture just seeped so deep in Hollywood, USA and West which reflects in movies like these. Like each one are trying to make one or other identity politics driven film for no real reason. Just look at me we too exist sort of low IQ desperation stupidity.. I mean they could have done lot better simply with the setup and accepting the real culture of Africans and not necessarily try super hard to be ""Black Americans in Africa acting like Super humans"". But they tried and its cringe fest in every scene. Same is gender this or that identity films.",2 "I love everything about the series. I love how everyone is fighting in their own fight And at the same time it 's a part of the overall war. And the most interesting is that the heroes are just kids and teenagers.",9 The movie is pretty good but they made the city too much in a bad way things like-holding up guns to children and showing dat gangster rules the city thats why i am giving it 7 otherwise it deserves 8,6 "I just signed in to review this movie. it was boring, and really subpar. in no way it is comparable to the recent Marvel releases. to the like of Ragnarok, or Gog2. where these two gorgeous visual effect add in the storytelling and give a vibe to the movie. Black panther s' tho it is beautiful, serves merely as a postcard. to be contemplated, and the visual effect and the costume are the best part of the movie. the storyline is as cliche as it comes and the characters are one-dimensional. it is great to have a black Marvel movie, but why can it not be something beyond cliche? tribe? street violence? ritual combat for succession? where are the plots and twists? characters development? as for the political debate, same same. no development, either or either Wakanda to be seen and save the black folks, or continue to lie for self-preservation. come on. what about proxy wars, proxy aids? or help an African nation to become prosperous, or create a new like Israel where the black folks wishing to seek refuge be reunited. if the Wakanda king cannot see beyond this, his ancestors were right, better to lie for self-preservation. very poor movie. but with this box office, there would properly be a black panther 2. i wish they care to deliver a worthy black movie, so not to tarnish the genre.",3 "The Avengers movie wasn't loved for its mind bending plot line or realistic character development. It was so damn hot because of a stellar cast, mind blowing graphics and electric chemistry between the superheroes. This TV show has none of that. You might've expected something at least on par with Whedon's previous works but the apple fell so far away from the tree you would've thought it was an Asylum parody. The leading man is a cardboard cutout of clichés. Him and the supporting cast is new and it shows. Their terrible acting is preceded only by their terrible dialogue. In an era of clever/relatable/tearjerking/rage inducing TV shows, it's a wonder how the writers thought they could get away with this.",1 "If you're expecting to see the book come alive - stop. It's nothing like the book. It's good in a totally different way. The movie it filled with A LOT of plot holes, inconsistencies, and dumbing down of scenes and characters. The main bad guy for instance is a kind of a comic character because he's ""so bad"" he becomes a bit stupid. I think the production aimed for 12-13 year olds or something... Nevertheless, the movie is really fun (if you're the kind of person who is able to ignore the other stuff for 2 hours).",6 "Quite possibly the worst Marvel Movie of all time. Yet another movie that baffles me with the high praises surrounding it. The story line is nothing but depressing. No part of the information that is being offered explains why Logan would end up in that living situation or where all the already existing mutants are while this is happening. The plot is full of logic holes and too much of it simply doesn't make any sense. I have no idea why this movie was made.",1 "I don't usually bother to write reviews but I just couldn't stand by passively on this one... This film simply does in no way, shape or form deserve above 6, and that's why I'm giving it a 1 now (it is at 8.4 currently). In a word, LLL is mediocre. The dancing and singing are poor. The plot is clichéd yet contrived. The characters are charmless and lack chemistry. The music is OK, but not great at all. The acting is alright, but just that. I could go on... The only plusses are on the technical and production sides. I thought it missed a great opportunity to tell a more important, original and uplifting story about when you don't ""make it"", even if you're good. It decided not to do so in a really forced and lazy way. I don't even know if this is a musical, a Nicholas Sparks type film or a feel good comedy. It tries to be all and is mediocre to bad at all as well as in the overall end result. The movie says nothing worth saying, is a bit depressing and very boring (which is no small feat considering it's supposed to be a musical). Well, here's the thing Hollywood: to make a great musical you need a good or fun story with great actors who are great singers and dancers. You also need at least five great compositions and choreographies. Oh, I see... you don't, because people are increasingly sheeple and stupid. All you really need is a great marketing machine... Come on people! Wake up!",1 "The only reason I even gave it one star because there is no option to give it less and still have it count. If you are into preachy, heavily biased films based on nothing more than a razor thin logical fallacy then Breakthrough is for you. Otherwise, do yourself a huge favour and save your time and money.",1 "I really dont know where to start with this show as everything was of a really bad quality. The good reviews this show is getting is obviously from people which should never ever be allowed to voice their opinions on film as they have no idea how to judge media. Things wrong with the show: 1) The way the show is filmed is way off. Very bad camera angles and cinematography. There are so many angled shots and zoomed shots which make no sense and serve no purpose..just looks cheap and weird. There are some pointless blurred lines on the top and bottom of the camera...again to serve no purpose. 2) The acting is terrible. Not even B-grade movies are this bad. The worst acting is from Henry Cavill. 3) The dialogue is terrible. Conversations are so dumb and childish most of the time and just dont suit the setting or the mood the show thinks it wants to create. Obviously the producers had a much smaller budget than needed for this kind of show. 4) The story is bad. The show has awful pacing and no substance.",1 "When I read about, what this movie portrays, in the 3 volume biography of Churchill, I was intrigued, and this film, does a fine job of combining several elements to arrive at a unified story at its completion. Various players activities, that are blended together, in a story which, through some fine editing, each show us a portion of the overall tale, about how a massive military contingency are rescued, despite a significant threat from enemy aircraft and submarines. We are shown, rather than specifically told in dialogue, and the message is clear, that in perilous times, we can all pull together. I'm thankful, that I was able to view it in the largest format possible and feel that my money was well spent to see another great work, by a great producer of cinema. In a day or so, I may watch this movie once more, although in a smaller format, so as to compare the experience and to pick up on details which I'm sure I may have missed.",7 After watching the first 9 episodes. I'm pretty certain this could evolve into something like 'The Wire',8 "The first episode of the series is more impressive than compare wanda vision,The first episode shows how sam is dealing with his personal life and how bucky was dealing with his past, and the action sequences were mind blowing, and finally the twist in the end,As of now the story is slow moving now, let's wait for the moment when falcon & winter soldier come together",6 "For me the skill I value above all else in TV and film is IMMERSION. To make me forget that I'm watching a production and believe for a moment i'm there. When it's a tragic incident this is even more important, as we are witnessing an account of real people that were injured and died. This show does not give me that. At all. The intrusive music, swish direction, slow-motion dramatics all takes me out the immersion - and makes me feel like we're watching a disaster movie from the 1990s. The worst thing - by a mile - is that they're all British. This was an incident in the Ukraine. Why is everyone acting like they're in Britain? I pushes the show into absurdity. I'm not saying it all has to be foreign language with subtitles, but The Americans was a great example of using real foreign language actors so that when they even spoke in English you felt it was realistic. The actors you could lift out of any generic BBC police drama - the head of the control room feels like the police boss. The questioning in the 'interrogation' room was absurd and they were seconds away from going ""You're nicked!"". They should have just made it a fictional account of a UK nuclear disaster and avoided most of the issues above. I'll give it two points as set design wise, it looks great.",2 "She is a great chick and she can not act. The whole movie she is on a verge of bursting into laugh and it feels like she doesn't take the script (however ridiculous it is) seriously🤣 One thing is for sure, she did have fun acting in this film, me as a spectator, however, not so much; usually it has to be the other way around.",3 "Begins well, but after the third episode it loses its coolness and becomes drama centric. Besides the Australian all of the characters are, or become, LAME! The Australian guys back story is lame as well. So disappointing after starting off with gritty toughness which reminded me so much of the movie Watchmen.",3 "Watched the movie but can't find interest at any point, story line must be better.",4 "I'm a man approaching his 50's, and I was nothing but intrigued by the furore and energy this movie had created in the media and amongst people who had watched it. In some context I played with Barbie; this was only as my ActionMan crashed his car into the living room of the three-storey Barbie house my sister had in our hallway. An ActionMan that then went up-and-down in the elevator -stuck to the side of the house - as many times as possible, and then emptied the fridge and followed his superb entrance (much to my sister's dismay) with a drip-drip shower in the bathroom, with that red button you had to pump like crazy to get the water out of it. I had no expectations at all watching this movie, in-fact, I had the overwhelming feeling it would amount to nothing more than a neat marketing freight-train to introduce a 'Barbie' lost generation to the power of the lost and forgotten Barbie. A gross thing grossing mega-sales, a PowerPoint worthy line-graph causing the eyebrows of even the most stoic of CEOs to nudge upward in a seemingly interested fashion. I certainly wasn't wearing a pink tutu, neither was my wife, or anyone around me as I watched it. My kids have never played with Barbie, or ActionMan, but that doesn't Mattel at all. So, I settled in (not crashing my car into the house this time!) for something, for whatever, for the ride... Within minutes, I was laughing by the play like scenery. By the houses with missing walls and rooves (so the kids can get their hands in to move the dolls around). By ""Beach Ken"", because that's what it says on the box. The way the car spins during a crash; I have repeated this overblown and utterly unrealistic motion so many times myself, with those very same dolls (+ActionMan)! I was immediately drawn in, especially by the notion that something so colourful and playful -and often downright silly- can end with the achingly beautiful title song sung by Billy Eilish, if anyone can break our hearts she can, breathtaking. And it ended in perfection, I had tears streaming into my BIG MANLY BEARD. I won't spoil anything, because in truth I don't think I can. The script is possibly one of the cleverest and most under-handed I have encountered in a long time, a few comparators spring to mind (Blazing-Saddles, Team America). I found myself reeling from the rapid-fire finger-pointing ideology it blithely shoots from the lip. I will have to watch it multiple times to fully absorb the overwhelming wealth of thought provocation it slams into every single scene and line. It describes in consummate detail a world filled with inequality. To say this movie is a feminist soapbox is wholly misinterpreted, the film painfully forces both women and men onto their respective soapboxes and makes them shout about it, whether they are happy about the societal expectation placed upon them to do this. It portrays women who want to be something alongside those who just want to be themselves, and those men who want to be something alongside those who just want to be themselves (and in both, the idea that people are forced by image and rule to wear clothes they don't fit into, or even like). In a world where men are increasingly using cosmetics as much as women do, it juxtaposes the idea that sex has nothing to do with what we want to do with our lives. Whether you are a man or woman, you can do anything you want, be whoever you want to be. Women and men should be allowed to exist as they see themselves, as human beings. Each sharing and accepting this right of existence with one another. Forget the media, the expectation, overwhelming opinion, ingrained rule, or impressed oppression. Be whoever YOU want to be... DON'T LET ANYONE MAKE YOU THINK YOU CAN'T BE WHAT YOU WANT BE...",10 "Wow. Usually, sequels don't surpass the original. But this one did it with flying colors, and then some. ""Spider-Man 2"" was completely above my expectations, considering how good the first film was. I was blown away by the eye-popping visual effects (a solid improvement from film #1), the engaging characters (Tobey Maguire is the perfect Peter Parker), the heartbreaking and heart-lifting drama (all without being too clichéd or corny while remaining true to the spirit of the comics), the bad-ass villain (Alfred Molina surprising us as a VERY convincing Doc Ock), and the comedy needed in a Spider-Man movie (i.e., the Laundromat scene; the elevator scene with Hal Sparks; the terribly off-key woman singing the ""Spider-Man"" theme; the ""Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head"" montage). While the first movie introduced us to Peter Parker and how the troubled teenager became Spidey, this movie shows us how difficult his life is. Juggling his schoolwork, paying his late rent, delivering pizzas, taking pics for the Bugle, fighting crime, AND trying to tell MJ how he feels about her, just shows how taxing Spider-Man has been on his life. And yet, he keeps at it, thinking that it's his moral obligation and responsibility to protect those who can't protect themselves, all because he was indirectly responsible for his uncle's death. And now he's reached the crossroads where he must decide whether or not he should carry on with this burden or start life anew, without Spider-Man. Sam Raimi does a brilliant job directing this film, and it doesn't hurt having an Oscar-winning screenwriter and Pulitzer-winning author at your side writing the screenplay. Tobey Maguire once again dazzles us with his performance as the tortured Parker, Kirsten Dunst does a great job as Mary Jane, and James Franco improves greatly from the first movie as the Spidey-hating Harry Osborn. But the real showstopper is Alfred Molina, fantastically portraying Doctor Octopus (considered by many comic fans as one of the best supervillains ever). Despite in the first film having Willem Dafoe's very good performance overshadowed by the clunky, Power Rangers-like costume, Molina has free rein as the sinister Doc Ock, accompanied by those four, bad-ass metal tentacles (an amazing marriage of CGI wizardry and live puppetry). There'll be some moments where you feel really sorry for him, and some moments where you want Spidey to bash his head in. ""Spider-Man 2"" will attract fans of all kinds of movie genres: action, adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, drama, and comedy. If you're looking for a summer blockbuster, a movie that'll make you feel good, or a superhero movie at its best, see ""Spider-Man 2"". You won't be disappointed.",10 "This elongated chaotic murk is studded with stars, but they shed no light. I could tell there was a bad guy, but I couldn't figure out how he managed to breathe. The good guy seemed to be the Batman, but he was too willowy and wispy, and during his frequent bouts of fisticuffs with the bad guy he always got the worst of it. At one point I thought the plot was vaguely modelled on the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. But only vaguely. It would possibly have been helpful to know how the several other stars had been designed to fit in to this benighted epic. I think we should have been told. But I couldn't make it out. My fault, no doubt. After a few hours of bafflement, the scene was suddenly flooded with light, and civilization was saved. The question remained: Had it been worth it ? Not really. This film, bought on a mistaken whim thinking it came in at number 4 on the all-time list, has firmly warned me off any others featuring the legendary Batman. Give me Dracula, any day.",2 "This is an interesting prison movie about 1970s of South Africa. A racist regime prevails in South Africa and some white activists protesting the government get arrested and sent to Pretoria prison. They organize their escape plan by replicating keys. As mentioned in the end, it is not completely loyal to the original story, and unfortunately, was overly dramatized. It has cliché scenes and acting is mediocre. What I liked most is, it pays tribute to two great prison movies, namely, A Man Escaped (1952) with the same ending song and Le Trou (1960) with the scene in which prisoners hit persistently on the door frame with a screwdriver. Even if it is not a masterpiece, it keeps you on the edge of the seat until the end.",7 The BBC tend to create cheesy TV programmes so I tend to avoid them. I quite enjoyed this although it was a little bit unbelievable at times.,6 "I fell asleep and missed the middle half, can't really be bothered to re-watch it, it's not very good and probably Spielberg's weakest film (that I'm aware of - bearing in mind I haven't see A.I. for ages). Wasn't really expecting much though as I tried reading the book a while ago and couldn't finish that either, it was so badly written, but i'd hoped they had fixed that with the screenplay. It was slightly better than the book in that it didn't just resort to lists of lazy context-less 80s references, barely held together by a story seemingly written buy a junior school kid. Films that are 50% CGI, you have to ask how much 'directing' was involved anyway. It's hard to work out who it is aimed at, as it's probably OK for kids and young teenagers as a pretty standard lightweight fantasy film like The Hunger Games / Maze Runner etc, but the 80s references that are in there are not going to mean much to them (I presume)",6 "Captain America: Civil War was free to watch with Amazon Prime. I figured it would be worth a watch even though Super Hero movies are a real hit or miss. Many people love Marvel movies because they are bright, funny, and filled with action. Great examples of this are Deadpool and Iron Man. Unfortunately, I turned this movie off after 10 minutes. Someone please explain to me how a bunch of super heroes need Black Widow. This was part of the problem with the original Avenger's movie: You have Space Aliens with laser cannons and flying ships and we're going to send in a 125lbs woman in leather to shoot at them with a 9mm in between kicks. IT makes no sense. What's even worse is that they can make scenes with the hulk smashing cities and fighting an Iron Man Suit, but they can't have the Black widow balance enough to actually produce force in a kick or punch. It looks stupid. Not as stupid as Falcon's wings, but stupid enough to turn the movie off. Sorry Marvel fans, You have a Plethora of amazing Marvel Characters who could replace the Black widow. Too bad the studio feels it needs to keep trotting out the same illogical character choices. (BTW, Black widow is a spy and does great at infiltration. She doesn't need to be in big action sequences to be a part of the team).",2 "It's really just stupid, in a lot of ways. Give it a watch and decide for yourself. But if you thought the last episode of GOT was bad, hang on to your shorts. We already know how it's going to end. So unless there is something special that happens that could change the outcome of GOT its inherently predictable. Maybe they'll expose that someone is of a different bloodline than we thought and establishes a new claim to the thrown that inspires a sequel to GOT. But I doubt it. That would be interesting and so far this show isn't interested in being interesting. Also, none of the characters are likable.",6 "If you find yourself in a bind and have seen any decent movie on Netflix and there is nothing left, I then recommend this movie. I powered thru this with the handy use of a the fast forward button. I found myself how Netflix had so much talent with this movie on why is it sooo horrible!! How do you fail with Ryan Reynolds!!!!",1 "A lot of people I know rave about this film,I really don't care for it... Leo di caprio has one standard look for portraying any emotion...he narrows his eyes and purses his lips to show anger,incredulity,happiness,jealousy etc etc. This film is about a man who literally robbed grannies from what savings they had,but Scorsesee makes it seem like he's just a vagabond who was having a laugh... I don't mean to go into a rant about society,but this film,like that overrated rubbish,The Departed,just shows how Martin Scorsese's mindset belongs firmly in the 80's/90's... Watch and forget...",4 First of all I'm big Aayush fan...and secondaly I'm big kc bhaiya fan...and this season is litting..... I'm a engineering student and I'm relating too so it's comfortable to everyone... something special about this season is it's came with emotion of love ...so I like this season more than previous..but it's lengthy too....scene of huma with doctor chemistry..I don't like that part...I like Nishat with gajju's daughter.... I'll rate this season 8/10...,8 "Now at the start of ""Phase 3"" Marvel has decided to open it up with one of its biggest films yet, putting together almost its entire roster of heroes in to one movie and taking on one of the biggest game changing conflicts within the entire history of Marvel. Whilst the film is at times clustered, the Russo brothers successfully create a blockbuster driven by a very personal conflict whilst still delivering some of the greatest action sequences of the franchise so far. After a mission goes wrong and several civilians end up being killed, a proposal is put forward to place the Avengers and all its heroes under government control which divides the Avengers in to two factions. On the one side is Captain America (Chris Evans), who after the events of ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" is distrusting of government interference and believes the Avengers are most effective working independently. On the other side Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), who after feeling responsible for destruction caused by Ultron believes that even the Avengers need to be kept in check. But during all this a villain named Zemo (Daneil Brühl, playing another Marvel villain who could have been very interesting but unfortunately goes completely underdeveloped throughout the film) hatches a plan involving Cap's former friend Bucky (AKA Winter Soldier) to further this divide between the Avengers. This causes all the Marvel heroes to choose their respective sides, with each having their own personal motives and reasons for who they side with, all colliding against one another in an all-out brawl. To the films credit, the inclusion of all these superheroes never detracts from the core conflict between Captain America and Iron Man, with their emotional conflict always remaining the centrepiece of the film. But at the same time, every cast member gets their own moment in the spotlight. Whether you want to see scenes exploring the relationships between characters like Captain America and Black Widow further explored or just fun moments like seeing Ant-man being shot off one of Hawkeye's arrows, this film will have something for any fan of the Marvel Universe to enjoy. Although out of the films massive cast the biggest standout of the film is Tom Holland as Spiderman. Whilst he only has around 10-15 minutes screen time, Tom Holland has the potential to be the best Spiderman yet. He's able to pull off both the awkward but charming Peter Parker and the fun quick witted web swinger better than either Maguire or Garfield were ever able to. Plus Holland works incredibly well off all the other heroes, particularly with Robert Downey Jr. as he and Holland appear to share a very natural chemistry with one another. The only drawback of Spiderman in the film is that at times the CGI appears very unnatural, looking a lot more like a video game character than he does an actual person. Nonetheless it was a great re-introduction to the character, without relying on the already familiar origin story, to be another great addition to the MCU. However just like too many superhero movies lately, by having so many different characters to juggle the movie does feel clustered at times, with some plot lines not getting the attention that they deserved and being incredibly underdeveloped. Probably the worse effect of this is the Black Panther's origin story. It's an interesting story about honour and revenge which on its own would have been enough to fill an entire film, but doesn't get the time it needs here and thus his origin story ends up feeling wasted. It's a shame too since it's the first time the characters been introduced in any film and it could have been a great backstory if the film had the opportunity to properly develop it. Plus Chadwick Bosman gives a great performance in the short time that he's actually given a chance to. Hopefully his standalone film should give a better opportunity to give the character the attention he deserves. Whilst there are a few problems with some of the films action sequences, with some scenes suffering from the overuse of fast paced editing techniques, for the most part the fight scenes have the same exciting tone and focus on practical effects that the Russo brothers demonstrated in Captain America: Winter Soldier. However the one scene in the film is the airport sequence, which sees both sides of the conflict and all the heroes collide together in an all-out brawl. I won't say anything specific about what happens in the fight, since it does have a lot of great surprises that shouldn't be spoiled, but it does just about everything that you'd want to see from these characters fighting and is probably one of the crowning achievements of the MCU so far. The only downside is that this scene is so incredible that afterwards the rest of the film ends up feeling fairly underwhelming in comparison. Also the film does shy away from some of the darker aspects of the original Civil War storyline from the comics and the movie doesn't do anything that we haven't seen from other Marvel movies before. Whilst the conflict between Captain America and Iron Man is interesting, the snappy back and forth between both sides whilst fun and enjoyable leads the clear impression that neither side will be willing to take the fight too far, thus reducing the stakes of the film. Saying this, Captain America: Civil War does just about everything that audiences expect from and want from the MCU. It's funny, it's exciting and it continues to explore the characters that have remained at the core of the Marvel Universe since its inception. On top of this the Russo brothers have once again proved themselves ready for the task of taking on the next Avengers movie.",6 "I didnt enjoyed the way they represent sherlock holmes in that movie. I couldnt find any similarities except the power of deduction but Sherlock holmes dont fight thats why i didnt like it but they didnt represent it the same in the book. For me the movie is a action movie but it cant take the name of sherlock holmes, too much scenes are spectacular and meaningless in my opinion. I didnt like it.",5 "Overall: 7.47 A movie that presents a very challenging undertaking taking on the Barbie franchise with incredible originality. A film that should be lauded for its ambition, creativity, and virtuous commentary. The acting is fantastic and Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling feel like the only actors that could play Barbie and Ken and they more than excel at it. It feels as though Mattel partnered with Greta Gerwig and the movies production team to help make themselves the butt of the joke and also help make one of the most powerful (if not most powerful) statement for women and young girls in our modern world. The movie suffers at times with story and structure but the dialogue, acting and visual design are top notch with so much comedic poignancy to keep you entertained throughout.

This show will keep you on your feet watching it with anxiety like a little kid catching a glimpse on a horror movie.The cast is top class which makes the series even more watchable,and i couldn't choose a better actor to play Hannibal than Mr.Mikkelsen. The storyline is as astonishing as you would expect if you are a thriller fan.The most brutal crimes analyzed to death,and yet causing the analyzer the same amount of shock it causes you. I rate it 10/10 and hope this will go on for a long time.",10 "A film that doesn't take itself too seriously but still falls into the same traps as the first film. In regards to the first film, this is definitely better. The first one took itself way too seriously and was very poorly lite. This film definitely becomes much much goofier after the opening scene and has more of a sense of personality to it than the other film. There isn't a lot of personality as it becomes very formulaic. All of the acting is pretty bad but in a fun kind of way. Tom Hardy is definitely having a lot of fun and gives the best performance but Woody Harrelson and Naoime Harris are so bad that they are funny. Their chemistry is nonexistent and even leads to some logical issues in the final battle with Harris's powers. The visual effects range from pretty good to awful in the span of seconds. There is a scene where Woody Harrelson in his Carnage form is breaking a cage and it looks absolutely awful but the rest of the visual effects don't look bad at all. The action and editing are both pretty bad but it's more the fault of the editing than the actual action itself. The editing is very fast paced and cuts very rapidly where it can be somewhat hard to see what is actually going on. This is an improvement from the first film though. One major thing I will give the film is its enjoyment and runtime. It's very short plus it's hilarious. Most of the time it's unintentionally funny but still very funny none the less. I found myself to be laughing at the film a lot more than usual. Even though I don't have a lot of positive things to say about this, I would definitely recommend checking it out. Watching it with friends would probably be the best option.",4 Yes it was over the top mess of a film and yes the script kinda sucked but it's still pretty enjoyable and I would watch a sequel. 6.5/10,7 "This is a well written,well-acted and beautifully shot drama and one that would ring a bell in every one concerned with the planet. Not sure it deserves a 9.3 grade but certainly in the 8-9 region. Thank you also for a succinct look at the tragedy!",8 "Michael Bay should stick to glossy slow motion commercials as this film is by far his worst ever. Sad as it's just an endless slow mo super fast cuts with terrible cliche music - and he just has no idea how to create any depth of characters or flow and stop moving the bloody camera. It almost gives you a headache. always with great dp work and pretty people but 2 hours of it is annoyingly painful. Sad to see Ryan Reynolds acting wasted and the supporting team. Kudos to vfx team but writers should be fired. Wanna be fast furious. A 3 for great shots and car chase scenes.",3 "10 years ago, shaky cameras distracted us from a bad film... and now this movie employs a cacophony of cheap synthesizer music distract you from laughing at a great comedian trying to play a serious roll. This was borderline torchere and it is going to take about 10 other movies to clean out my ears.",2 I can not believe how much people talk about this shows. My friends say it's so good and I need to watch it. Well I watched it and I'm very disappointed. This is kinda nite picky but I was hoping it wasn't gonna be a whole storyline like maybe a little one but I was hoping it was gonna be her adventures. Most of the characters are bland and overused personality's. Wednesday was good in it and it is sometimes fun to watch with the cool school such as when there was a boat race. You could easily predict the villain by the end of the first episode. Every interaction is ether Wednesday being mean or threatening the person or it's her saying something that is different. But at the end of the Day I do like some parts of the show.,4 "It's seldom that I can watch a whole TV series from episode one to that currently last released episode. However in this case it was a pleasure. If you like shows that often put the characters into tight corners and lie seeing the inventive ways they manage to survive, then this is for you. It's generally fast paced and the character are okay. Parker Posey, who plays Dr Smith, nails it. She surely got the best role. Action, suspense, mystery. It's all here. Unlike Star Trek, there's little techno-babble. Unlike Star Wars, there's only one gun in the whole series so far, unless you include the robots built-in weapons. Unlike the aforementioned series, there's: No swearing No rap music No incessant background music that's so loud you can't hear the dialog. On the con side, there are glaringly obvious plot flaws and some repetitious scenes, but who cares. It's a fun romp from start to finish. Sadly, there are only 8 episodes in the third season, which concluded with a teasing indication that there may be more seasons to come. I hope that's the case.",9 "Jack Black returns as the voice of mighty martial-arts panda Po in 'Kung Fu Panda 2', the sequel to that 2008 animated gem. After establishing himself as the Dragon Warrior by vanquishing the evil Tai Lung and retrieving the Dragon Scroll in the earlier film, the new adventure involves Po's search for his identity, and his quest for inner peace. He's pitted against an evil peacock named Lord Shen (voiced by Gary Oldman) who killed his parents when he was a baby, and who is now threatening to conquer China using a fiery canon that will all but end the ancient art of kung fu. Naturally Po's accomplices in this showdown against Lord Shen are the members of the Furious Five, and much of the fun and inventiveness of this film comes from the teamwork between them. Po himself is the star of the show, and those who enjoyed the earlier film will be happy to know there are still plenty of jokes about Po being fat, lazy and constantly hungry. In fact, the very first time we see him in this film, he's accepted a challenge to stuff 40 buns in his mouth. The action scenes are bigger and better than the last time, and the animation itself is exceptional in terms of textures and lighting. Flashback sequences unfold in rich, comic-book style, and a climatic sequence in which Po dodges deadly canon-balls is the most visually arresting set-piece you've seen in an animation film recently. But 'Kung Fu Panda 2' is also a film with heart. There are touching scenes between Po and his adoptive father, and an important message in the end: that inner peace can be attained only by confronting the past, then letting go of it. A very worthy sequel to the first film, 'Kung Fu Panda 2' is a treat for animation lovers. I'm going with three-and-a-half out of five for this return to awesomeness!",10 "After one hour (yes i'am slow) this got me borred. It's the same cast from the pervious maffia movies i saw and they are repeating IT all. Scenes are too long. For example (made this up); guy 1; Did you eat the sandwich? guy 2; No i didn't eat the sandwich. guy 1; Did you eat the sandwich? guy 2; No i didn't eat it! guy 1; Did you eat the sandwich? guy 2; No I really did not... guy 1; did you ate it? guy 2 no i didn't. guy 1; You ate the sandwich didn't you? guy 2; Yes I did! guy 1; why did you ate the sandwich? guy 2; I was hungry. guy 1; You where hungry? guy 2 Yes i was. Instead of guy 1 Did you ate the sandwich? guy 2; Yes I did because I was hungry... That would have made the movie going at a fast pace and not stretch it into whatever this is.

Encaptures the critical moments, cold-war politics, bureaucracy, personal dilemmas, the aftermath, and the human sacrifices surrounding the devastating Chernobyl catastrophe. Highly recommended.",9 Second half is very boring and ending is even more,5 "I'm really in love with the outstanding use of music in this series. The cast is also very very good. What an actors! I'm not a fantasy/sci fi/super powers fan, but I really really enjoy this show. So happy there's two seasons already!",9 "If you are here looking for a continuance of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you may be in for a bit of a surprise. It is not your typical MCU fair as it is much more cerebral with characters discussing motivations. The series begins strongly with character introductions and building what will be become relationships as the shows progress. Enemies become friends, friends become enemies, and others float somewhere between good and evil. Most characters are complex and multi-faceted in their reasons for what they believe and why. The acting is first rate, with a few nice surprises as they introduce new characters with some unexpected actors playing the roles. The photography is well done with frequent multi-perspective shots that add to the detail in the created worlds. Lighting is some of the best recent work I can recall with some scenes reminiscent of the amazing shadow work done in the original Frankenstein. Some of the scenery and effects are original and quite well done. Overall a most enjoyable series. I was drawn into it much more than I expected and looked forward to the next episode. It will be interesting to see what the team comes up with for their next effort. If this is any indication of what they can do, it should be quite enjoyable.",9 "I admit there were a few scenes that I enjoyed, but overall it was a struggle to finish. The pace of the animation was too much. Felt like a non-stop chase scene for much of the movie. Basically my brain went into standby at times for the visuals while I just listened the words to decipher what was going on. And I'm not old at all , but was just too much. I may be the only one but I'm really struggling to connect to Miles , at times his attitude is a bit much and that chip on his shoulder made me hard to be on his side. I was actually on the side of the bad guy in this one , at least he had a clear purpose.",2 The Boys is a twist on every superhero movie and tv show. If you love crude humor and lots of swearing you'll love it. Most of the dialogue is very cliche except for all of the swearing which takes you away from the other dialogue and entertains. The story is really intriguing and will keep you hooked.,9 "If this move had been 1.5 hours it would have been a fun and amusing watch, with good acting and witty connections between generational gaps, Asian parenting set against a clever underlying set of multiverse of you with different skills. 2.2hours turned the movie into one I was just happy ended as it had no new ideas and it dragged out the silly making them dull. Great performance by Michelle Yeoh.",4 "With all the great reviews I read for this movie, I was expecting to watch a wonderful entertaining movie. I was absolutely bored to death. What a waste of space. Did those who wrote glowing reviews of Gravity see the same movie? The dialog between the characters was so boring, as were the characters, Bullock's character, Dr. Ryan Stone, is emotionally unprepared and was impossible to believe, no reasonable explanation was ever given as to why she was selected for the mission. It was so slow I fell asleep several times. Just wish I had a remote to fast forward it to the good bits, Unfortunately that would not have helped.",1 "This film is beautifully shot, with some of the best CGI effects(which can be done very badly). however, this film does use almost every cliché in the book, culminating in some very annoying, unlikeable characters, and a very cheesy villain who does not fit in with the film. quite frankly, this movie takes itself far to seriously for anyone to gain any enjoyment out of a 3 hour runtime. the plot is derivative to say the least, and I predicted the ending literally the first time I saw the Na'vi, who are basically offensive native American stereotypes. however, there is still some fun to be had with the amazing cinematography and decent action. this is by no means the worst movie ever made, but the clichés and 3hr runtime are very hard to stomach",4 "Greetings again from the darkness. Of course we do get a murder mystery (maybe even more than one!), yet the real case study may be in how the billionaire tech mogul celebrated for his business savvy and creative genius is actually an egotistical putz who stole one brilliant idea from his former partner. Another mystery is what to say about writer-director Rian Johnson's (STAR WARS VIII - THE LAST JEDI, 2017) follow up to his superb first KNIVES OUT (2019), without giving away too much. Clearly, Johnson went all-in for the entertainment factor, and it's a sure bet that most will find a good amount of joy watching this. The traditional introduction of characters and suspects is handled through the arrival of seemingly impenetrable wooden boxes delivered to the five friends of the above-referenced billionaire Miles Bron (an overly-hyped Edward Norton). Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson) is a former model clueless to the ways of 'woke' society, blocked from social media by her assistant Peg (Jessica Henwick). Duke Cody (Dave Bautista) is a pistol-packing testosterone-fueled Twitch influencer who hangs with his girlfriend Whiskey (Madeline Kline). Claire Debella (an underutilized Kathryn Hahn) is a regretfully-for-sale ambitious politician. Lionel Toussaint (Leslie Odom Jr) is the genius tech inventor who receives middle-of-the-night faxes from Miles. Lastly, a terrific Janelle Monae plays the former business partner outmaneuvered in a dirty way by Miles. Each friend solves the intricate puzzles required to open the box, it's Duke's ma (Jackie Hoffman) who excels as a puzzle whiz in the most comical manner ... well, maybe not as funny as Janelle Monae's approach. While all the puzzle-solving is occurring, we see super sleuth Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) soaking in his bathtub, wishing for a stimulating case as he Zoom calls with his friends - including Stephen Sondheim, Angela Lansbury, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This is the first of many high-profile cameos sprinkled throughout, including Ethan Hawke, Hugh Grant, Serena Williams, Natasha Lyonne, and Yo-Yo Ma. Discovered inside the wooden box is an invitation to a Murder Mystery party at Miles' lavish private Greek island resort. When they arrive, Miles is baffled by Benoit's admission that he had received an invitation, as only five were sent. The five friends are referred to as ""disruptors"", and though each has been the recipient of Miles' funding, they also have their own reasons for revenge ... these reasons venomously pointed out by Ms. Monae's character as they lounge around the pool. Benoit Blanc spoils the murder-mystery party Miles has planned almost before it starts, however, a real murder kicks things into frenetic gear. A humorous complement to Benoit Blanc's saucy southern accent is Miles' world-class word butchering - constantly mispronouncing words, making them up, or using them incorrectly (each to the annoyance of Benoit). The overuse of ""buttress"" is quite the gag, as is the famous portrait hanging in the main hall, and the consumption of caviar. Another ongoing joke is Benoit Blanc's annoyance at the game of ""Clue"", which he terms ""a terrible game."" Despite the many red herrings, McGuffins, and misdirections, we realize what suffers is the actual murder investigation. It's no surprise that the rich and famous aren't upstanding citizens, and we see they don't even make good friends. While the first KNIVES OUT movie focused on the fight for the generational money of Christopher Plummer, director Johnson has this time opted for jabs (stops short of satire) at the nouveau-rich, who are portrayed as entitled, spoiled, and out-of-touch. Johnson made a conscious decision to focus on the comical aspects of society and these characters, and the result is entertainment that feels good in the moment, but leaves us wanting a bit more substance. Still, ""Knives Out 3"" is expected in a couple of years and we look forward to an even different approach. Opens in theaters on November 23, 2022 and begins streaming on Netflix December 23, 2022.",7 "Having sat through this supposed masterpiece i was left disappointed to say the least... Having read the reviews beforehand i was happy in the thought that i was going to witness cinematographic history! I left the cinema feeling tired, sore and deflated. I cannot fault the acting or the special effects which were actually a visual treat, but the film lacks any kind of background story or explanation as to how we happen to be in such a sorry state? I won't even go down the road of picking holes in the possible concepts of exploring wormhole or crossing over an event horizon (for me that was one of the more memorable and mind bending parts of the film!) as that is not my gripe. To sum up i expected so much but was delivered so little. :(",4 "...that starts poorly and ends with QT's gratuitous gore superimposed on infantile fantasy. The fact that the cinema world seems to like it says so much about ""Hollywood"" and the sad state of movies these days.",2 "The movie is brutal, pessimistic, about the tragic stories of the black peoples. 12 years a slave alone cannot capture entirely about Slave trade. It is a tiny fraction of that dark episodes of history. Thanks Mr McQueen for this cinematic contribution that provided us the truth of it. This speaks the voice of thousands of innocent souls who were victimized by Slave trade. It seems the souls are crying for justice still. The director have carefully crafted human emotions of helplessness, fear, and egoism with excellence. The depiction is very powerful, has the power to move you, make you heavy with sadness. Only positive thing shown in the film is the climax when Solomon returns home safe and sound. Others are just the brutal tale of slavery. The film starts with Solomon who was a free man, a musician by profession, having his family, was a happy man until he was sold into slavery by trickery. Then his hellish journey begins, a journey where Blacks (men,women, children) were worse than animals, had no right of man, were exploited physically, mentally sexually and so on. People even justifies their gruesomeness by citing verses of Old Testament. Slaves were solaced by their colleague slaves in their distress but all were really helpless. Because the masters carry their legal papers in one hand and scriptures on the other hand. Solomon was grief stricken in his new experience, horrified by the slave trade. And he finally stood as the leading figure in it's abolition. The film doesn't go to the abolition chapter, rather details the brutality of slavery. The director has used both suggestive and direct methods to imply the failure of white people as masters and their egoistic traits to fulfill their grudges against the blacks. The infamous scene where the master beats up his girl slave is still heart wrenching. It will tear you up, make your eyes sob. It also showed that not all whites are evil, there are some who really cared for their slave as their own families. So who is to blame ? The real problem lies in the slave trade itself. Thousands of people forming the government has supported slave trade as a means to run society smoothly. And the evil took advantage of it. So, a phrase ""A few rotten apples spoils the bunch"" is exact to this situation. So the bunch had to be changed in time. Still today there's slave in modern world, but it is not legalized through. So every person is free today despite we serve different masters differently. There will always be master slave issues in the world. 12 years a slave depicts the brutal story of the blacks within that frame, nevertheless a film where pessimistic flavors outweighs positivity. So it's a 7/10. A 74/100.",7 This movie is complete remake of bollywood film Aashiqui 2 😂😂,4 "I did not watch the original series so I don't care what other people are talking about. But I do know that I just wasted my Sunday tv watching staring at the screen. Very uninteresting premise combined with horrible acting and dialogues. It's not good as an adventure, nor drama, nor thriller. This is just made to put you to sleep after you've watched all the good stuff.",1 "One might think this is a girly movie made for teenage girls and may be the early 20s. It starts off misleading the audience into a fun filled ride of jokes and conscious silliness at the start. Later, as we all settle into the Barbie world, it slides in Feministic conversations. At one point you think whether it's an adaptation of ""Men are from Mars..."" book, because they hit you deeper than the laugh you make of the dialogue. The subtext I gather is, the film is about a rich good looking girl who is living her hunky dory life where everything is spik and span. This girl has been metaphored as the Barbie. The girl who understands little of the real world until life hits her with ugly truth (revealed at the end) and she starts feeling real pain and emotions. At first she denies it and fights it and also gets it all back for a brief moment. Later she realizes, she wants to live real and wants to let go of the made up cocoon of beauty, perfection and pink. Entertaining, fresh and perfect Sunday morning watch to setup for an interesting discussion later in the evening.",7 "Quentin Tarantino's style is almost overcrowding this film, which is not an easy task at 2h40m. You have your nod at the kong-fu film industry, Nazi and other post-WW2 film references, and of course plenty of Westerns from the period. There is sex, violence, a bit of comedy, and combinations of all 3. Overall, however, the movie seems like a string of unrelated events, clips and clever nods, without ever summing up to anything meaningful. The two main characters hang out, get drunk, get into a bit of trouble, but that's pretty much it. Maybe this is intentional, because that's how pop films were typically structured in the era? I'm not an expert on trashy 60s films, so I wouldn't know. Me and my friends were bored, and left the movie feeling like we wasted our time watching an episode of 'The way we were' about Hollywood's glorious 60s. If you're a big fan of the period, you might find all the allusions and nods fun to watch. For the average, non-neckbearded viewer, I don't think watching this would be much more than a weird experiment in recreating a dead genre, but with Brad Pitt and Leonardo DeCaprio (along with many other famous actors). Sorry, it's just not that great.",4 "I had to drop my 9stars rating to 8 because season 4volume 1 is so boring, too much story and run around nothing concrete. Let's see how they close it out ok volume 2 it better be worth it.",8 "This show have got a lot of praise, but I do not really see it. Nor do I understand much of the criticism. This is an okay show, sometimes even good, but nothing special, and we have seen it all before. The good: Music and sound design is overall used brilliantly. In fact most of the cinematic with directing, camera work, set design, music etc. is done very well. And together with very good acting this carries the show and make it okay. At times, especially during the first season, some good script pieces also elevate the show higher to good, or even great in a few scenes. This is also, at times, both entertaining and funny. And despite stealing 95% of the show from other tv programs and movies, I feel this is watchable. The bad: This is x-men 20%, Agents of Shield 20%, Alphas 25%, Heroes 30%, and I mean directly stolen, directly copy pasted. Sometimes it work, sometimes it don't. Those shows/movies mention did a better job (mostly). So this is as far away from original you can come. Very lazy writing. When you stitch together a TV show from other shows and you do not come up with twists, alternatives, nor stitch it together in a seamless way you get a story that make little to no sense and since the writers have nothing new to add I constantly get the feeling we are going around, and around, and around... 2 seasons now, and the lack of ideas and original thinking is so blatant that you can skip big portions of each episode (especially season 2) and not miss a thing. You know what is going to happen, perhaps not exact word-for-word, but you will see all ""reveals"" and ""twists"" coming miles away. The script comes to overarching story, is abysmal. Summation: The acting and the design of the show is what saves it. It is also, at times funny and kinda entertaining. But the obvious copy paste comes to story, lazy writing and lack of real development lower the score a bit. I give this a 6/10. Not sure if it deserve that score to be honest, but I still enjoy watching this show, at least up to late season 2 when it start to become a bit too much. First season slightly better, perhaps a strong 6/10, second season more a 5/10, so this is a weak 6/10 I would say. Not sure if I can recommend this, I think you need to be a bit bored or not seen the other shows this is stolen from, but this is not bad. This is very much watchable and okay. I do not think you will regret seeing this, the acting is good enough to spend some time with this show, but nothing special and you have seen this before.",6 "I am expressing my impartial opinion, and I am stating objective thoughts about Fargo (1996), which everyone shares. This is one of the greatest films to ever be created; Fargo (1996) is an absolute flawless masterpiece. It perfectly represents the complex dichotomy of the USA's Midwest, that fleshes out modern day human interaction at its core. It is captivating, dramatic, engaging, funny, hilarious, intriguing, mesmerizing, sad, and can even be scary at times. It makes me feel a mesh of emotions, that I have yet to find from any other film. I have been watching it for as long as I can remember, and it is the film I find myself going back to most often. I can only hope that, one day, I will find a film that is able to stand side-by-side with Fargo (1996) rather than in it's shadow. This is my first IMDb review, which I wrote because, it was the last task on my ""Profile Checklist"". When I saw that the final task was to write a review I immediately thought to write one for Fargo (1996). It is one of the 4 films I recommend most often people, the other three being Ran (1985); The Thing (1982); & The Godfather (1972), and Fargo (1996) is the suggestion I consider to be the most accessible. If you find yourself reading this review, and have enjoyed Fargo (1996), I greatly recommend Ran (1985) and The Thing (1982) which are 2 of my other top 5's. Also possibly Brazil (1985) to a lesser degree, it isn't one of my 5 favourite films but is still in my top 10.",10 "Bad cliche writing that only people with no real world experience would ever believe. Bad acting. Wooden and stilted. Predictably follows the exact pattern of the same old lame Femme Nikata knock offs. Erotics scenes my butt, this guy must have lived in monastery. This guy must have read fifty shades of lame. The lead female is totally unappealing despite all they do to try to polish her up.",1 "Prison break from unfair sentence win my heart. The story itself is a true event and the way of escape just exciting and Tim probably the most talented prisoner by all time. One of the few example that ""God is fair"".",7 "Go see this movie if you: are infatuated with Tom Cruise love US armed forces promos love, but don't know much about fighter jets, military air operations, or the military in general love romantic stories don't care about facts or logic Otherwise, you will be disappointed, to say the least.",4 "While Leonardo is one talented actor and does an incredible job in this movie, the film could have been shortened to 2 hours to make its point. Stronger cautions of content should been out there. Pornography was clearly evident Several people left the theater and we thought about it midway through. Seemed like 2000 f-bombs versus the reported 500+ were voiced. We liked Leonardo way better in ""To Catch a Thief and ""Titanic"". People have mentioned a possible Oscar nod for Mr. DeCaprio for this, but my preference would be for him would to get it one day for a future body of work. Actually writing this review is not a good use of my time, so...stopping here.",2 "I did not think that this movie would have a good story but it basically has no story at all, even for a ""superhero movie"". You can explain the plot in just 2 sentences. I don't think the Writers made even an attempt to make a great movie with great story. It is just a brainless action movie which you can watch 1 time and never again. Tom Hardy is a great actor but could't really use his full potential. All in all great actor, great effects, terrible story.",4 1/ I get to look at Chris Hemsworth for the duration. Yum. 2/ Enough action and brutal stuff to shut my husband the hell up during lock down. Well done netflix a good film. Now for the real review... It's like man on fire mixed with Bourne identity. Both great films. It's a different story line but nothing brand new in concept. Worth a watch during the sofa surfing summer! #lockdown,7 Completely bland with truly terrible acting. Cinematography is cold and uninspiring. What can I say. The first reviewers must be the same ones who do TripAdvisor..,1 "I wanted to like this. I watched the movie and it piqued my interest. Then I dove into the books and STARS AND GARTERS was it beyond this pile. The movie completely misses the messaging of the book, full stop. The book balances Enola escaping from Mycroft and Sherlock (both being raging chauvinists) and finding her place in a world while not drawing attention to herself. Victorian London sees women as pretty baubles for men to collect and any (upper class) woman wanting to study, not wear a dress, or do anything but be a housewife and pop out babies is foolish or crazy. This movie infuriates me by picking the very actions the character decries in the book and plowing foolhardily forward. For example: In the book, Enola bikes away from her life as a squire's daughter in a traveling suit. She changes into her mother's mourning clothing as a disguise to make her way to London, via train. Enola specifically calls out to the reader that her brothers would expect her to disguise herself as a young lad. So what do the writers do? Yup! Poor Millie Bobby Brown is shunted into trousers and waistcoat. I did like the terrorism aspect of Lady Eudoria Holmes. Helena Bonham Carter steals every scene she's in and I'm totally okay with that. She is an absolute delight. I don't appreciate Tewksbury cast as a romantic foil for Enola. Make no mistake, that's what the writers set him as here. He was 12 in the books. They meet again after being kidnapped by the same cutthroats. Tewksy runs home because life is really hard for the not rich. (Okay, he's a little more sympathetic than that but that's the gist.) The point being, Enola is not even remotely interested in Tewksy because she's got a lot of other things on at the moment. Anyway, this movie makes a mockery of the books and completely swallows the ""Not like other girls"" trope hook, line and sinker. Just read the books instead.",3 Decent casting... Story was engaging in the initial episodes.. then due to pacing finale outcomes seem pretty forced and few character arcs seem to have been left hanging... Uninteresting Antagonist for a superhero show. Worth a watch.,6 "I hope this is the last of these type of horrors. We are officially done. Think Midsommar, Get Out, Nope, Us... etc etc. The Menu is late to the party and unfortunately the whole thing feels like it's trying too hard. The movie itself will mildly entertain you, but nothing more, but that's only because it literally treads the exact same path of movies gone before it, so was hardly going to be a total disaster. There is no point talking about the acting, script etc because it's just all a bit meh. It does a job, but nothing more. Anyway, I really wish this will be the last of these Black-Mirror-esque movie clones. We want something new, something meaningful.",3 "When I first heard that the BBC's new version of the Sherlock Holmes story was to be set in modern day London I thought it would probably be just gimmicky and not that good but as the previews were complimentary I decided to give it a go. I'm glad that I did as it proved to be a lot of fun. Benedict Cumberbatch was great as the eponymous detective and if anything Martin Freeman was even better as Dr John Watson his assistant. The mysteries contained many clues that it took the great man to solve but there were just enough were the viewer could work something out first. At only three episodes the series was rather short but I'm sure further series will be commissioned soon; after all we didn't even get to see Moriarty till the end of the final episode and that ended at a municipal swimming pool not the Reichenbach Falls. Unless one is a Holmes purist this should appeal to most viewers who like detective fiction. The cast put in fine performances, both major and minor characters. The only character I was unsure about was Moriarty who seemed far too emotional to me but as he was only really in one scene it is a bit too soon to judge. While there were obviously plenty of murders nothing too gory was shown so it should be suitable to for everybody apart from young children.",9 """Only Murders in the Building"" is trying to ride the relatively recent booming fascination with True Crime stories, specifically those told through the audio format. I did enjoy the first few episodes, the surprises and twists were well timed and kept me engaged.... And then the entire middle of the season slowed way down and I got bored. Steve Martin carried the show, he did a great job and seemed to be having a blast in his role. Selena Gomez was enjoyable to watch as the New York Millennial, but goodness does she have a monotone voice (I'll never know how she's such a great singer with a talking voice that is as flat as Kansas). Finally, Martin Short... perhaps he was doing an excellent job - perhaps his instructions were ""be the most annoying neighbor you can think of, so annoying that you even irk the audience."" But either way, I did not enjoy him or his character in the show. I'll stick around for a couple episodes of season 2. Or maybe I'll just listen to a True Crime podcast.",6 "Want to see Loki by turns either pathetically pleading for permission, or just outright begging for mercy from a predictable line of female diversity representation? Then this is the show for you!",1 "Though the writing can be criticized, overall it's very watchable. Very notable performance is given by Mackenzie Foy as young Murph. Amusingly, she somehow looks very alike Anne Hathaway who plays Brand. You can pardon it taking liberties with physics. There is no enough fuel on Earth to deliver a spacecraft back from the zone with >0.99c escape velocity (and not enough fuel to slow it down for landing there, in the first place). The enormous time dilation coefficient dictates the escape velocity. But if it gets the plot moving, then OK. I watched it in IMAX 70 mm film projection. IT SUCKED. There was a lot of shutter flicker on bright areas. These days, we don't see the flicker caused the projector shutter (obturator), because modern digital projectors mostly don't need them (though some older digital projectors with sequential colors may have some, but it would be mostly concealed). The image effective sharpness was never better than HD. The editing workflow seems to have been digital, because there was unsharp masking (digital sharpening) fringe always visible. There was AWFUL lot of grain in the picture. Why do they still shoot film these days? Have they ever seen film and digital side by side? It's like 78rpm gramophone disc sounds compared to a CD. Does film grain, tinted colors, lousy sharpness make those old school cinematographers hard? If the movie were shot completely on modern digital cameras, it would have looked MUCH MUCH better. Famous IMAX audio was too loud. The low frequency rumble was so big that it overdrives the ears and causes intermodulation, so that music and speech is heard with tremolo.",7 In my opinion it is overrated bcz there is many better shows than this without nudity and slang language,7 Barbie was such a delight and a surprise favorite of mine. Going into this film I didn't have high expectations because I didn't think it was going to be for me. I was completely wrong! Barbie is a very well crafted and enjoyable film. The movie has a lot of heart and soul with also having funny moments. Margot Robbie was a perfect casting decision for this movie and Director Greta Gerwig knows exactly what type a film she was making. The movie is very colorful when they are showing Barbie world and then it switches to a more dull/realistic color when in the real world. Ryan Gosling as Ken was another perfect casting choice and I feel brought his A game when it came to comedic segments. You don't have to be into the Barbie dolls to enjoy this film. I will say this movie is more geared toward adults rather then young people because of the themes they deal with. You will know what I'm talking about when you see the film. Barbie will stand the test of time and I'm sure will be a classic a few years from now. Barbie gets a near perfect 9 stars out of 10 from me.,9 "Great idea, concept premise but lily needed to go, everyone else was great",8 "I don't know what all the hype is about. Humor was so third grade school. The humor worked in Guardians of the galaxy. But this it was terrible. I think I smiled just twice. Ending fight and the Hulk-Thor battle were good. That's about it. B- grade story line. They should have stuck with the storyline of Planet Hulk..",3 I was bored in the first 2 hours. Let down from my own expectation.,4 "Sound - 1/2 - The score is bombastic, and the dialog is occasionally hard to hear. Acting/Characterization - 1/2 - McConaughey has the rebel cowboy act down pat but is a little less credible as a scientifically-minded father. The other characters are undeveloped and exist to represent specific ideas. Script/Writing - 0/2 - The script is a hodgepodge of corny tag lines and poorly executed themes. Visuals - 2/2 - The fate of humanity apparently rests on the colonization of bleak planets in bleak space, but at least there are cool wormholes, black holes, and baseball fields. Concept (Plot/Theme) - 1/2 - Interstellar deserves at least one point for ambition and creativity, but too many questionable plot developments are thrown together, and the film does not seem to commit to any of its ideas or themes, though some, such as time dilation, are certainly fascinating. When not confounded by possible paradoxes or superficial musings on love, one is left to question the viability of an anti-intellectual society portrayed with such unexplained cynicism, as well as the human imperative to survive on other planets when the species is apparently inclined to destroy its own natural habitat. Total Score - 5/10 Gut Feeling - 6/10 - For a film espousing the virtues of love and exploration, Interstellar has little emotional resonance. Plotwise, it's a memorable mess. Final Average - 5.5/10",6 "This movie really took my heart away. Made me fall in love with more and more animal and people. 1st half is very funny and second half has emotions, love, drama, money debt, strong and binding story and with no magical climax. Climax is not predict able. And i think a 2nd part is required for this movie. Loved the acting of Dharma, Charlie, Adrika, vet doctor and compounder.",10 She is sooooo bad..i mean directing isnt that good and the story is mehhh but henry cahil can carry a show but not anya chalorta's performance,4 This is disturbing to watch. Wont give you any good feelings. Watched 2 highest rated episodes and they just left me unease at the end.,1 "If you are going to this movie for action...do not go. It's literally dragged out over two hours. This is more of a behind the scenes of war kinda movie. It's mostly about the journey. It's kind of like the lord of the rings but...without all of the action. The action really wasn't thrilling. It was like...""oh ok..a bomb"". Not a bad movie but could've been down way better.",5 "I was all in for this movie before I saw it. As time went by I got concerned my expectations were impossibly high and I'd inevitably be disappointed. Saw it opening night in a packed cinema all dressed in pink (yes the men too). I laughed far more than I expected and had a damn good cry. My ridiculous expectations were exceeded. Barbie is funnier and more touching than I was expecting. It's just the right kind of meta and deals with gender roles and our complicated feelings about Barbie and what she represents in a balanced and realistic way. I'm not sure how I left a film after staring at Margo Robbie and the rest and felt better about myself than before I went in. See it in the cinema if you can. Going from a loudly giggling crowd to suddenly being able to hear a pin drop when the film hit some hard truths was wonderful. Fill two hours of your time with joy and Kenergy! We are all Kenough.",10 "I had hopes for this movie with such a large cast of big stars. It fell short. Lack of decent pacing and the dialog between scenes does not flow well. Touches base on a lot of topics from that Era, but never realy digs into any of them. Like it couldn't decide what direction it wanted to go. A great deal of potential that was executed poorly. I am actually surprised this got passed by the studio without being sent back and requiring editing and reshoots. You can tell a good movie is in there, it was just poorly put together. This one might do well to follow the Snyder Cut example and go back and try again.",5 "I was captivated by the entire film ... but dumbfounded that Jake Gyllenhaal's detective would've walked past, or at least noticed, a sunken wooden board beneath the conspicuous car just ""parked"" at the aunt's property; and the blatant ineptitude of the attending officers (stood not even 2 metres away): Officers: ""There's nothing more we can do because it's raining, we'll come back tomorrow"" If Gylenhaal's character was ""so"" concerned about Jackman then he'd have continued the search -- in reality something police would do. Ironically I kind of watched this as Marvel vs DC, as many of the actors have been or will be in superhero movies -- * Hugh Jackman = Wolverine * Jake Gyllenhaal = Mysterio * Terence Howard = Rhodey in 1st Iron Man * Paul Dano will star in DC's upcoming ""The Batman"" as Riddler {I thought it was funny}",3 "No words to describe about this movie! I had many expectations(like most of the audiences) and when I came out of the theater, i felt like running and just running!! The story of Milkha Singh is rarely known by the people of this generation but through this film, they will be amazed, awestruck, and blown away!! Especially Farhan Akhtar who portrayed Milkha Singh with full determination, strength, emotions and all!! By this movie, he has truly emerged himself as an outstanding actor and this film will be the landmark of his career!!! On the whole, this movie is sure to win awards, admiration, respect and esteem besides emerging as a champ! Reserve the applause for Milkha Singh and the team behind this movie! After a long time, i have cheered for a movie!! It really deserves a standing ovation!",10 "This movie truly reflects 2 different Indias - educated/cosmo vs the rest of India. We, educated and well to do Indian westerners (not to be confused with MID WESTERNERS in US) forget about where we are living. Anushka sharma is by far one of the best actresses of her time. In this role, she truly depicts a new age woman who uses her wits. She goes from a 21st century wife to a cold blooded killer. Kudos to bollywood for thinking about more than hero and heroine singing and dancing around a tree. we need more steven spielberg's in bollywood. Since IMDb is making me write more, i also want to give a thumbs up to Anushka for her role in PK. Even though her hair cut in the movie was RIDICULOUS, she was very impressive as an actress. I am sure working opposite to Aamir was a tall order for her.",10 "Watching Glass Onion is like watching a comedic performance by someone, but only finding out at the end that it was a magician performing a trick the entire time. The reveal of the mystery in this magic trick is just too much of a bitter note to make it nothing more than just above average. Over the top comedy and unrealistic characters equals nothing being at stake. Benoit Blanc is somehow the most realistic character out of all, and therefore is the most likable. Daniel Craig carries the weight of the movie up until the third act where he takes a bit of a backseat to the story. The acting by everyone is very good, beautifully shot, and fun to watch as characters and the situation are all set up. The script feels as if it was started with half ideas and the second half wrapped them up without strengthening them. The lack of of mystery and intrigue leaves the audience more as a viewer than participation in unraveling the onion of the story. Much of the last half is the viewer being told everything that the first half tried setting up. It's mostly a full story, albeit on the verge of major plot holes, with dumb characters being an excuse for bad writing. It's not a disaster, but will falter the more you think about it and will make me want to stop the movie halfway through upon any rewatches.",5 Neat idea for a movie. Most of the characters are stupid AF. Nobody listens to the smart ones as usual. Booooring. An easy way for crappy writers to advance the plot of a story. Hint hint. You've been warned.,5 "It was to be feared... We had an amazing S1, with a great and original ending. But it seems that perfect ending didn't left much room for creativity in S2. So, besides some great CGI, we are back to something that comes from the ordinary, seen 100 times elsewhere, predictable, that doesn't always make sense. For instance, it's easier to kill time and fill much of an episode with a useless and irrelevant discussion, than trying to build a solid script that keep us interested from beginning to end. (based on S2, eps 1,2,3. To be updated...) Give S1: 9/10 and S2: 7/10, that makes an average of 8/10.",7 "This movie is AWESOME! Unexpected in so many good ways. Addresses so many social issues and complicated conversations in a fun, fair, and thoughtful way. What a joyful blend of comedy, music, color and memories from childhood. Every frame is filled with so much visual candy, and if you ever owned a Barbie or Ken or skipper or Alan you will not be disappointed by the costumes or sets. The actors, editing, directing, writing and set design are a solid 10. I don't think the previews do this movie justice, it was so much more than I expected. Mattel managed to pull this kaleidoscope of a movie off; kudos to the believers of this script. It is so worth seeing once, twice, three times and then some!",10 "Season 1: good 8/10 Season 2: soso 6.5/10 Season 3: Amazing 9.5/10 overall: 8.",9 "Naming your show ""Mare of Easttown"" and starring Kate Winslet is essentially a promise that there will be a strong female protagonist who is for once not a shallow Mary Sue. I'm happy to report that this promise is delivered on, and the show raises the bar for female protagonists. The only things I don't know what to think about is the amount of conspiracy and crime commited by 9 out of 10 people in this little town. Everybody deals with their issues in the worst possible way. I got the feeling that this town was basically 99% of the way to going supercritical and exploding in an orgy of violence. I guess it makes for good drama.",8 "The first outing that Anthony & Joe Russo had in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, did everything for me. It landed amongst my favorite films of all time and became my favorite film within the MCU. So you can imagine the anticipation level I had for this and after my first viewing of it, I knew I loved it. Leading up to the release of Captain America: Civil War, I couldn't sit still and I was beyond excited for it. As I watching it for the first time I couldn't believe just how great it turned out to be. Unlike previous superhero films released in 2016, Civil War hit me like a truck in its epicness and it resonated with me a lot more than I realized. Soon after that, I went to see it again in theaters and it still worked for me. Everything came together beautifully and it was a true masterpiece in my eyes. The things that both Russo Brothers did for the character of Captain America is brilliant. They knew how to handle him - from doing his sequel - and they knew how to handle a lot of characters, like Joss Whedon did. With just two films in, they've created two of the best comic book films to date, and two great films in their own. Their direction here is near flawless. With exception of a few scenes being a little to shaky, the way they shot action is done so well. Speaking of action, I don't think there's been great action like this since the first Avengers film. Its funny how well those two films feel like each other. In most cases Civil War is just Avengers 2.5, and I think the Russo's handled it so well. Not only does the hand-to-hand fighting feel tightly done and exciting, but the fighting done in bulk - like the airport scene - works so much better. After the second Avengers film I didn't think anyone could handle all those characters and plot points like Whedon did and yet, the Russo's do it perfectly. I love how this is just as a Captain America movie as it is an Iron Man movie. Going in I was Team Cap all the way, but watching it time and time I feel for both sides and I ended up switching on multiple occasions. That's why I think it works so well - the way that they handled each character and their arc. Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Vision, aren't A-list characters, but the Russo's used them to their advantage and made it work. I was really surprised on how performance driven Captain America: Civil War really is. Its political talk but its so interesting and it kept me interested. This is easily Robert Downey Jr's show because is acting here is really great. The speech he has about the young boy they kill is passionate and RDJ owns it. Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan both chip in fantastic performances and their chemistry together works. The team is also really great with Jeremy Renner being my favorite. The addition of Black Panther and Spider-Man had me worried at first. I wanted so bad to see them on screen, but I didn't want them to be crammed in. Thankfully, they aren't. Tom Holland is perfect as Spider-Man. He has the dorky side that Tobey played so well, and he had the sweetness that Garfield had as Spider-Man himself. He was truly the perfect combination of both. Chadwick Boseman is fantastic as well. He's got this vibe to the character of Black Panther that works so well. We all know that the MCU has villain problems, but it stops here. Daniel Brühl is magnificent as Zemo. He's badass, he's smart, his plan makes sense and his overall reason for it all is done so well. The film isn't a masterpiece in terms of film, nor is it as well crafted as some other comic book flicks before it. But there's something special about it every time I watch it. It could be my love for these characters, it could be the epic airport scene, or it could just be entertaining as all hell. I don't know what it truly is that makes this work for me, but Captain America: Civil War passed all my expectations and has made it a new favorite of mine for the years to come.",10 Perfect movie... emotions are perfectly blend with the script.... vicky is star.....but i want to mention mohit raina performance too....he is amazing..... proud of my Indian Army....... best part of the film is that they are not glorifying the image of any political party...they just show the courage of our Indian army..... highly recommended...💕,10 "Really good. They've also captured the 80s theme really well . Great script, great acting, great directing.",8 "Yes, I watched in awe as Tom Hanks was digitally inserted into all the major events of the second half of the twentieth century, but my already opened jaw then went slack at the banality of the screenplay. Sorry, but ""Life is like a box of chocolates"" is not a philosophy for a grownup. Or even a retard. I loved the opening shot, and was really wanting to like this film, but Sally Field is embarrassing, ditto Tom Hanks. Gary Sinise is good, but Robin Wright's character makes no sense. There IS no moral or philosophical coherence to this film ... it just allows woolly thinkers around the world to project their own feel good mantras onto it. I give it a 5 for technical achievement (I stand by for the usual tirade of illiterate and obscene abuse I get when I dare to criticise a sacred cow.)",5 "This is a very different film from the rest of Christopher Nolan's filmography thus far in that it is based on historical events namely the evacuation of Dunkirk in WW2. Nevertheless, he still finds an effective way to use his signature non-linear story structure and here divides it into three time periods; one week, one day and one hour. Each corresponding to the perspectives of land, sea and air respectively. On land we have two soldiers played by newcomers Fionn Whitehead and Harry Styles along with a whole host of other soldiers trying to escape the beach and moving from ship to ship as they are attacked in doing so. At sea we have three civilians lead by Mark Rylance on a small pleasure boat trying to save as many stranded soldiers as possible. In the air we have two RAF pilots in spitfires played by Tom Hardy and Jack Lowden dog-fighting with German planes. The technical achievements in this film are astonishing from the stunning cinematography to the brutally realistic sound design to the harrowing score. Hans Zimmer will most definitely be nominated by the Academy for his work here and will most likely win. Nolan decided to shoot as much of this film in camera as possible and it is very telling given the impressive practical effects present in the film from the real ships to the real RAF spitfires to the real pleasure boats from that era to actually shooting on location in Dunkirk. The action scenes are incredibly intense and visceral and very well directed. The aerial dogfights are often shown from the viewer's POV making them subjective and immersive. This leads to a thrilling and goose-bump inducing experience throughout. The actors give fine performances all round despite the fact that none of them have many lines. This film is very much about the event of Dunkirk, which is appropriate given the title, and not so much about individual characters per se. But this is where the film falters for me. There is no emotional anchor. No memorable characters and it is rather jarring. Other than that, it is a superbly effective survival thriller and I can see it getting an abundance of nominations and wins come awards season.",7 "No spoilers, just me expressing my feelings for Avatar: The Last Airbender. Let me just start off by saying this is the greatest THING ever. Better than any show, movie, video game, ANY form of entertainment or anything at all ever. (I have seen em' all, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, All the other Nick/Cartoon Network/Disney/countless shows and movies and even video game stories like Halo). Now that I have said that, I would like to thank Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko endlessly for the unparalleled thought, work, effort, love, and genuineness that you put into this masterpiece, and to everyone involved. I started watching this show when I was 8 years old in February of 2005 when Nickelodeon was hyping it up just as they do with all of their new shows. It was something I could totally relate to and learn from considering I was really growing up during that time. It is a show for ALL AGES because that's how great it is. I was almost 12 when the final 2-hour series finale ended and let me just say This finale... just... just... unbelievable. My emotions were the greatest that they have ever been. It was perfection and entertainment at its finest. This show could not have ended any other way. It was the perfect ending to a perfect show. It was so great that I cried for an hour and couldn't eat anything or go to sleep that night. It left a void in me. It was a heartbreaking Saturday night when it was all over and I was 11 at the time. Ever since that day my life changed and I am still getting teary thinking about it. I've re-watched episodes over and over, even when the show was still airing, I would re-watch until the new episode came on. I don't even know if this is a review anymore as much as it is my appreciation for this beautiful masterpiece. The Avatar crew did a good job with their follow-up show ""The Legend of Korra"", which was made because of extremely high fan support and demand for more avatar. But ever since I learned they would be making this ""sequel show"" I knew that it would never be the same. You can't follow up a once-in-a- billion-year phenomenon like Avatar: The Last Airbender. Finishing up, I would just like to thank Mike and Bryan again for everything and I really do hope to meet them one day. I beg them to just keep giving us fans out here more like their comics, artwork, soundtracks, and even the Legend of Korra (I hope season 3 & 4 are better than season 2 and especially 1). I'm extremely grateful I had avatar growing up and watching new episodes live from the very beginning to the very end. I'm almost 18 now and I am writing this review just to get my feelings about avatar out there. I would recommend this show to every last human being in every last corner of the earth because like I said in my opening statement, It is the greatest... thing... ever.",10 "After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy- the Winter Soldier. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a mesmerizing superhero film that satisfies on every level. When that last snake head is chopped off, you still find yourself wanting more after 136-minutes of pure comic book superhero cinematic nirvana. So I want you guys to go to the cinema and enjoy this movie, That's all",10 "Season 1 is awesome, season 2 is good! However season is rubbish, Ani is a butch . Sesason 2 had finished this tv show is perfect.",2 "Checkmate, haters. And sorry, it's just not your year. I have seen this movie, but I won't mention a single spoiler here. (If you guys want proof, you can PM me and I'll tell you how the movie ends and the after credits). The reason I'm really writing this review is that I KNOW THERE WILL BE BIASED PEOPLE HERE WHO'LL WRITE THAT BVS IS BETTER and this is trash, etc, etc. Well, just see this movie and judge for yourself. Speaking briefly of the movie, it is an emotional roller coaster with an absolutely beautiful end. Spidey had a satisfying screen time. As for the acting, by the time the movie ended, I was a happy man. Russov's are handling Infinity War, and after watching this movie, how they did justice to characters, I'll not worry. A movie we wanted as well as deserve.",8 "I have never seen a group of people who are supposed to be at the upper levels of intelligence and aptitude, as assumed by the application and acceptance process outlined through several episodes, behave repeatedly to display their lack of any of those qualities. Instead of behaving like a team, a family, struggling together against their situation; these people seem more interested in working through a veritable down poor of social and familial angst.This lends an air of pathetically weak and unnecessary interpersonal drama to a show that could have been about a family pulling together towards a common goal. Perhaps it's just me, but I'm personally very tired of television shows believing that their characters must be pathetic, annoying, angst-driven idiots in order to drum up ""DRAMA"" to illicit the interest of the viewer. I would be more than happy to watch a show about a group of people who manage to work well, and intelligently, together in order to solve EXTERNAL problems; and not a tapestry of blithering idiocy and emotional incompetence upon which a light veneer of actual worthwhile plot is placed. But *shrug* to each their own interest I suppose.",4 "What went wrong? The (mostly) quality cast, the setting were all lined up to make this a great second entry in the Knives Out series but from the scene where they first meet before boarding the boat, I couldn't shake the feeling I was going to be disappointed. Well turned out my feeling would be proven right I had put it on for the family to watch on Christmas Eve with some of them having not seen the first film but we all concluded Glass Onion was a terrible film. I had high hopes for this like I said given the first one but this was just not up to the same quality almost as if they were made by different people. I know it's all opnion but I just cannot understand the media outlets hyping this film up so much.",3 "I have watched this movie a few times, and I liked everything about the movie. The execution of this film is brilliant on a very serious subject on a humorous platform. I am about to enter into real estate dealings and I don't know why due to the ongoing builder scams and news, every time I lookout to purchase a new property, the characters in this film keep haunting me and I get chills imagining myself in similar situation with my hard earned money. I specially want to say the acting by Mr. Kher and Khurana along with the person dealing as property agent was exceptional. The location/set etc. feels like its real life. I can't help myself but it someway connects with me.",10 "Although the sequel misses a few things from the first one and can be a bit overstuffed at times, it's still a solid Iron Man movie with a great cast and good direction.",7 "So well written and depicted, you got to love it. Freshness all the way from concept, plot and cinematography",10 "Annabelle Comes Home (3.5 out of 5 stars). Annabelle Comes Home is the third and seventh entry in the Conjuring universe of supernatural horror films. Some are just decent films that provide the same predictable supernatural scares. Some are boring and dull. This third film as Annabelle is pretty decent. Better than the original movie but not as good compare to the Conjuring. The third film does deliver some cheap jolts and scares, has a decent plot that wraps up the Annabelle storyline, and the cast ensemble was also good. The plot follows Ed and Lorraine (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) after they claimed the Annabelle doll (a scene from the opening in first Conjuring movie). They lock the doll up in their basement in an enclosed glass case. When they go on a business trip. They leave their daughter Judy (Mckenna Grace) with their teenage babysitter Mary (Madison Iseman). When Mary brings her friend Daniela (Katie Sarife). And her curiousity about the Lorraine's haunted basement. She accidently sets Annabelle free. Which she sets every haunting demon in the basement on the loose that will terrorize the three girls in the house. The plot was decent. I did feel like the characters did make some stupid decisions. Which the script did not improve from the last few movies. Which has that cliché were a character would go into the basement after passing several warning signs to keep out. And unlocking the encased case to get Annabelle. The direction did deliver some fun scares and thrills. When Annabelle is released. The three girls are stuck at home. Lights out, fog coming in the area, and creepy shadows and sounds coming around from every corner of the house. It is the house of horrors with that haunted basement. There is a hellhound, some creepy lady in a wedding dress, a demonic looking beast. It does have some fun scares. May not be as scary as previous Conjuring films. It was fun to see Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga having small appearances in this film. Mckenna Grace was good playing Judy. Madison Iseman was also good playing as Mary. Katie Sarife was also okay as well playing a character that has a bit of mystery on why she is desperate to contact the supernatural. Overall, Annabelle Comes Home is a pretty fair film. It does deliver as the third film in the series. Not as a great new horror movie but it is acceptable as an entertaining fun thriller.",7 "I went to see this with two of my friends, one of which had already seen it three times. I went in really excited as for a new age sci-fi with Michael Rooker and Vin Diesel - i was wary of the rest of the crap cast- and the trailer did look half decent. I tried really hard to enjoy it, but it was just impossible. about an hour through i told my friends i was going to the bathroom but I ended up going out to the bathroom, going to the claw machines, walking around the shops for a bit, just so i didn't have to sit through more of this awful and monotonous movie. its honestly just part of the new fad, where posers are too deep into the fandom that they use ignorance as fuel to the empire and cant admit to the obvious faults of anything in the genre. The characters were bland and nothing new (you've seen it a million times in all the new Marvel/DC fad films). the storyline with the mothers death was an overused one, but it could have worked if they didn't use it as a crutch implementing more emotional elements to the film. The cheesy clichéd script and phrases were just tedious and annoying, as was the whole film.",3 "The quality of production is OK but the acting mostly bad and the story telling is so darn boring. As a big fan of Witcher games the characters in the series does not match the characters in the games with the attitude and personalities.Henry is not that good of an actor either and to give him the role of Geralt my favorite character ever was just crazy. I think Mads Mikkelsen would have done a way better job than Henry (I have nothing against the dude). I commend Netflix for always taking unique steps of giving us movies and shows that Hollywood would never do. But this was no good step. The Games are just too Perfect to try and make a TVshow, and to match the games you would need a budget that are far greater than the budget of GoT with some of the best actors and directors.",3 "I am french and I honestly fel very disapointed while watching this movie. It's all up side down and not accurate at all ! Watching this is ok if you dont really care about history and knowing what was the true battle, which was one of the biggest fail in the wat history. I think Nolan should just make movie like inception Sorry for my honesty but French people are very proud of their history and culture.",2 "I have many questions! This was a humiliation. The story makes no sense at all. Its only a cash grab project with same villain but now on sea instead of jungle. Added teens with cringey US slangs like a bunch of youtubers talking ""bro I gotcha' "" constantly, very annoying. Villain team wearing green military equipment, very unrealistic, chasing one guy for no reason. Banshees/drones sounding like helicopters, whales sounding like lions, Natives sound like cowboys ""weeehaaaaa"" on their rides. Come on...so many annoying things that the I just wanted to Great CGI can't save movies anymore! The script is a total wreck, its like a teen youtuber directed this project. 3 hours of annoying clishé and low level dialogs and storyline. Not even close to the first one! Just a bad copy of it from wish.",3 "The nurse actress is gorgeous, and the home is attractive, but all the characters are two dimensions, there were no surprises, and the politics get in the way of telling an interesting story.",4 "WOW!!!was the only word that i said after watching this movie.truly its an epic in grand proportions.I haven't seen yet a better sequel for a movie.If godfather affected us,this would change our lives.The casting was prolific as usual but not to mention the role played by De Niro(Vito Carleone).He played a role that could make us believe that Brando legacy has not been left void in godfather part-2.The direction is quite brilliant from Coppola.He shows simultaneously how one can travel forward with Al Pacino(Michael Carleone) & back with De niro(Vito).He's a master at his work,Coppola.Also the role played by John Cazale(Fredo)touched me.It was such a sophisticated role & he played it perfectly.And what amazed me was that who was Michael V. Gazzo(Frankie Pantangelini)??i never saw him in any other movie but what an accent this guy has.Brilliant actor not to mention.And last but not the least Michael says to tom: "" If history has taught us anything - It's that you can kill anybody"".Yes Michael,you are the true godfather & when it comes to Vito's regime.Vito said to don Ciccio : ""My father's name was Antonio Andolini... and this is for you"".and just for you Vito(Deniro) i give this movie my personal best 10.",10 I'm sorry but I don't understand all the high scores. I thought it was really dull and any plot exposition was really poorly executed. Ending was awful.,4 Awesome movie that seemed completely realistic with the actors giving their best.,9 "Not a fan of mackies shouty style (is he hard of hearing?) Certainly not a lead man at all everything I have watched by the man outside avengers is meh. I gave it a chance but the writing is sloppy. First scene he tries to sneak up on a bomber, the falcon has a vehicle scanner which he only uses on the plane after being seen looking through its cockpit window instead .... lazy.",1 "Good movie, really enjoyed it. i loved tom hanks in this. great acting and plot!",5 "Yes Netflix with your insanely awful 'Original' films WTF!! This is by far one of the worst I've seen, from the constant close up clips to the car scene that went on for what felt like a lifetime. I switched it off half way through, as much as I love Ryan Reynolds it just boils down to him having a pretty face basic comedy timing and a sharp wit but he annoyed me so much in this farce he's made me think he is just a sell out who wants money and doesn't give a toss about content or believability. Bad Netflix bad.",1 "The most awaited movie Cocktail, finally released in India with a bang! As seen in trailer, cocktail is the story of the three protagonists, Gautam, Meera and Veronica. Story of the movie is a typical bollwood love story, where there is a love triangle between the characters. Cocktail has focused on the content which attracts generation next. Deepika Padukone urf Veronica is centered in whole movie! We can say, it wouldn't be possible to make cocktail without her! Diana Penty urf Meera has also played astounding in the movie. And Saif Ali Khan urf Gautam has greatly played the flirt playful character in the movie. The first half of the movie is amazing, but the second half goes slow as it's stretched unnecessarily! Direction of the movie is simply outstanding! You can easily find the creative art in the movie taking from the shoot to the editing of the movie! Music and background score of the movie is also awesome! Story of the movie lacks some elements, but characters and punches in the movie have recovered.",7 "Having finally managed to find the time I decided to watch Jojo Rabbit, I had managed to avoid any trailers or spoilers. All I knew is who directed and the rough outline it was about the Nazis, Hitler in particular and was a surreal comedy. What stood out about this prior to seeing it was a general mood that this was too difficult a movie to describe. However having watched it and in the main enjoyed it, its simply an updated Anne Frank style story with some humour thrown in. Unfortunately it is not in the same league as Wilderpeople. Its good thats all not great. The humour mostly lands and in the main how you feel about the silly version of Hitler is likely how you will feel about this overall. A glaring mistake for me however was during the movie Hitler used a phrase which made reference to something which was actually contemporary which had a jarring effect as it spoiled the illusion of this being set during the war. Despite it mainly being a comedy with most of the gags at the expense of the Nazis the final act does turn darker which may explain why so many didnt like this movie.I can understand why as it feels like two separate movies split by the final act. Worth going to see but its not groundbreaking and the way its being sold to the public doesnt really fit with how it actually is. Its basically a rehash of Anne Frank with a few more gags.",6 "Too Slow & Boring for me, it put me to Sleep. I do love the director and cast, but this one was disappointing.",4 "Moon Knight is the first Marvel Disney+ show that is not based on an existing MCU character. I have no knowledge of this character apart from his split personality aspect. However, that alone made me very interested to watch this. So does Moon Knight shine or should it have stayed in the shadow? Firstly, Oscar Isaac is phenomenal as the titular character. Due to the split personality element, he ends up playing multiple individuals and it is just captivating to watch. There are scenes where he is just talking to himself and let's just say he has great chemistry with himself for sure! There are also some emotional moments that Oscar delivers perfectly. This might genuinely be one of Oscar's best performances yet. May Calamawy plays Layla, the love interest, and she is great opposite the amazing Oscar which is quite a feat. I especially love her interactions with the ""Steven"" personality which is just very sweet. Ethan Hawke plays the villain Arthur Harrow and he delivers a very unsettling but not over the top villainous performance. He is a cult leader but you could see why someone like him might be able to convince people to believe in his cause and that is all down to Ethan's performance. Additionally, the story and characters are all very engaging. I love how it just puts us in the middle of it with Moon Knight already being a superhero instead of being a generic origin story. Having the story be more focused on the POV of Steven who knows nothing, makes the show feel more like a mystery. I also appreciate how the show explores darker themes than what you would expect from the MCU property. The music score by Hesham Nazih is absolutely amazing. He brings this Egyptian authenticity that sets the score apart from other MCU properties. The beautiful score makes Egypt come to life and makes every scene feel tenser as well. The cinematography and visuals were quite stunning as well. There is a scene in episode 3 that sticks in my mind but it was a scene with the sky that is just gorgeous. The action scenes are also pretty enjoyable to watch when they do appear but there isn't a lot of it. However, I'm not very clear on what Moon Knight's power and abilities are. The action scenes show some things but I'm not entirely sure about his skill sets and why being the ""Moon Knight"" is special because he is mostly just fighting normal individuals. It also has the same issues that a fair amount of the MCU live-action shows have and that is a disappointing finale. The final episode is incredibly rushed in wrapping up the relevant plot threads and it results in an unsatisfying ending. This series really needed at least 1 or 2 more episodes. Overall, Moon Knight was a pleasant surprise. I am glad Marvel is giving the wider audience more aware of their less iconic heroes. Despite still having the same issues as other MCU Disney+ shows, it still manages to be an engaging superhero story. I can't wait to see where Moon Knight will be next whether it is a season 2 or other MCU properties.",8 You ruined Spiderman..Shame on you marvel...Worst Marvel movie ever..,2 "I don't what to say - it just wasn't for me. If you're not into racing or cars or the ""american dream"" I think this is probably a movie to miss. For me, it was already not my style, but on top of that it felt like a film that had recycled the plot and characters of every other sports movie and re-skinned it. Both Bale and Damon's accents were laid on thicker than ""fur on a frog"". Did I do that right? Apart from that - the performances were likely the highlight in the otherwise underwhelming film. Another issue is that at least in other sports films there's a clearer, unifying theme to the movie. This film felt confused at times. Was Ford's bureaucracy a detriment or a strength? It flipped on a dime between what seemed like demonizing and congratulating Ford. Was it about friendship? That theme did not seem apart until its final scene - leaving it as a last ditch effort to move and connect the audience to the characters. At the very least we could say it celebrated Ken Miles for his achievements in the racing world - so kudos to that.",5 "I don't know why, but to me, Arrested Development feels like the same thing happens every episode. It's a show about relatively terrible people doing relatively terrible things to each other, and while it can be funny, it's not something that I want to watch more than a few episodes of in one sitting. None of the characters are likable and the comedy is mostly characters making fun of other characters, pretty much every episode. The writing is smart and the actors all do great jobs in their roles, but it just gets tiresome after watching more than a few episodes. I don't want to give Arrested Development a 5 out of 10 because that would imply that it's bad (which it certainly isn't), but this show just feels too repetitive to enjoy. 6 out of 10",6 "I don't know how this movie has such good reviews. By the first hour I paused to see how much I had left and dreaded seeing that I still had 2.5 hours left. It reminded me of a hallmark movie that sucks you in hoping something good will happen but be disappointed by the end when nothing does. Robert DiNiro fits his role well but this should've been done when he was younger. Great acting from many actors that I enjoyed but there was really nothing going for this movie. I suffered through the last hour wondering when the movie was going to end. Many times I'll say a movie ""is worth a watch"" but this was not one of those movies. I love Robert DiNiro and he's the only reason why I even considered watching this movie.",2 "It's all in the title. SPOILER It's a waste of time",2 "I was 9 years old when Pardes and Dil Se flopped, every critic, every layman said, he is finished, and then he made a stellar comeback with Devdas. Chennai express, HNY, Dilwale all were commercially successful but SRK was losing his fan base as these films made little justice to his talent and stature. Again articles started floating through out social and print media""Is SRK's career over???"". The answer was out on 15th April when FAN hit the screens. SRK has made a comeback and how. ""FAN"" by all means is a content driven theme, but make no mistake FAN is a average film but it is a brave film. You laugh with Gaurav, you cry with Gaurav, your heart melts when he says""Rehn de, tu nahin samjhega"". Fan is an exhibition of acting and skills displayed by SRK or should we say the ""Comeback Kid"". They say he is stereotyped, they say he doesn't experiment, who would have had the courage to do a RA-One, though not a great film but at least an experiment at something better. No Doubt FAN was a brave move and one that has paid off. Only SRK and only SRK could have acted in a film like FAN, after all nobody loves SRK ore than himself. With few interesting projects up his sleeve fan could just be the comeback vehicle SRK was looking for. Now coming to his performance, SRK is simply brilliant in both the characters played by him, he is contagious as Gaurav and everyone could find a bit of themselves in him. He was a delight on screen, absolute magic. More often than not when SRK plays himself he tends to overdo it but this time as ARyan Khanna he got it just right, that look, that controlled aggression, that Dilliwala toughness, every thing was evident. As some body said ""Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom"", the rock bottom was landed on SRK but he has come back with a stunner. People who still don't understand the real SRK or the actor in him --""Rehn de, tu nahin samjhega""",8 "I won't repeat what others already wrote and I won't tell anything about the story as everyone can read all facts on wiki, if interested. This series had me 100%. Well scripted, well played, well filmed. First I was surprised by the ""quality"" of the pictures but then I realised that even that was meant to portray the 80ies. As I was a teenager in the 80ies I know what the cold war meant. And this story is a well told and real part of it. It may be a bit strange to native speakers that the main parts were played my British actors. For me it was no problem as it is more important to understand every word - and I did. Thanks to the actors for that. Wow! I am really overwhelmed by this mini-series and I am absolutely baffled that it had to be stopped after only 2 episodes on American TV because of a lack of audience. That's a shame. For those who like well told stories and don't need lots of special effects and flying bullets, I can absolutely recommend to watch this 8 episodes. It is worth every minute.",10 "Just finished the 2nd season of The Umbrella academy and it's actually better than I expected, love the flash back sequence in the beginning of every episodes and the comedy is good too the only problem I have is every episodes have atleast 3-4 songs and it's good too but only problem is the songs kinda drag the moment of the storyline and there are so many plot holes in the story. Overall this season is better than the previous one in all way.",7 "I expected more drive and suspense. The first part was a little bit boring expect the first ten minutes. Only in the second part the countdown began finally but too late for me to give Argo more than an average vote. There are some slow paced sequences that could have been better. Ben Affleck directed this terrorist movie quiet well. In my opinion the other drama movie Munich has been realized much more credibly and cooler. Perhaps the stuff was not enough to develop more depth. Anyway, a great plus in Argo Is the real created atmosphere of the late 70ies. All mixed with nice rock music hits of that time. I liked a lot also the last scenes with the plane taking off Iran. I think that Argo is too overrated here and I would still prefer Munich even it is longer to watch. A must see in this genre is The Debt. Final rating: 6/10.",6 "Hi sold bollywood directors, Please respect your religion and country and show the reality. Which hindu ever done bomb blast or kept cartel of guns ever? Please do not spoil the youth mind. Your shows will going to brutally kill our country and religion.",1 Buena serie. Por los comentarios pareciera que es lo mejor que los usuarios vieron en su vida. La serie se deja ver pero es lejana a otras grandes interpretaciones de Winstlet. Otros comparan desafortunadamente con Silence of the Lambs y está a años luz de aquella No más de 7 puntos.,7 "This controversial and well made series is bound to cause a lot of discussion on it's suitability for teenagers. The first thing that sets this TV series about teen issues like rape, bullying and suicide is that the treatment of it is totally serious and unflinching, far more so than anything that has come before. As an adult watching this I sometimes felt it is more suitable for adults to watch than teenagers even though it is about high school. It may be too sad and pessimistic for teenagers to watch without an adult perspective on the world. At the same time there are important lessons from the show for teenagers like how to treat other people and not to care too much about what your friends think of you. Tough call. The suicide and rape are quite affecting. Does this advocate or glamorize or encourage suicide? It's also hard to say. Some people will follow what they see on screen just like a movie about bank robbery might encourage some to try to pull off a heist. Doesn't mean we shouldn't make movies about it. There are so many teen suicides and it's a good thing that a television program shows the different things that contribute to it so we can address them. It's of course sad that so many bad things happened to one girl and the school counselor couldn't help. These things are plausible but what strikes me as unrealistic is that with loving parents who were there for her she didn't mention a single problem to them or some other close relative or older friend. In fact it seemed that the parents of all the kids are not in communication with their kids at all and that's just too much. But this is a fault of the book and as a TV series what they did is adapt the book well. Censors take it easy does Anna Karenina cause people to throw themselves under a train? It takes a lot of factors coming together to cause suicide. Some good acting here - some not so great. Kate Walsh as mother of the victim is restrained and effective - not overdoing her grief. Katherine Langford as the central character Hannah Baker is quite good. They didn't choose a stick thin conventionally beautiful actress and that's right. Having a plumper actress makes it more realistic and relatable. Although she looks tough because she isn't physically small doesn't mean she wasn't hurting. Dylan Minette as Clay the boy who loves her was a strange choice. His face is not that expressive and doesn't show enough range of emotions - I think another young actor might have handled it better. Brandon Flynn as Justin is actually the most expressive and moving actor among the supporting cast. The rest of the diverse cast is fine except Derek Luke as Mr Porter seemed a bit stone faced at a very dramatic moment. Most of the characters were a mixture of good and bad not one dimensional stereotypes and the actors are given quite a lot of material to work with. One fault is how long Clay took to listen to the tapes - if he cared for her he would just listen to them quickly to find out what she was thinking. Looking forward to season 2.",9 "This is a decent a decent escapist flick with some some great action scenes. It is a heckuva lot better than that Michael Bay perfume commercial action movie ""9 (something)"". Hemsworth is fun to watch. My big question is: Why did they shoot or color correct this movie almost entirely in yellow & orange? It was hard to watch. Never has the color scheme of a movie take away from so much of my enjoyment as this the super hot colors that drench this movie did.",5 "Here goes my first ever review here on IMDB. And ""why am I not surprised?"" It had to be, because this movie is definitely more than just a crime thriller, it is full of satire and reflects the grey shades of human psyche in a way that keeps you seeking for more. Not just that, The entire cast is top notch right from the confrontational scene in the hotel to the fight sequence between Monica and Jayant, spot on! The best part about it is that just when you feel that you sort of know what will happen next is when the story has some nerve wrecking twist in store. I have surely become a Vasan Bala fan after this.",10 "This is not the new GOT.......not even close on every level. The script is poor the dialogue is bad, the story line is uninteresting and it just didn't quite engage me. Im sure the game was much more enjoyable. Maybe it will improve over time......",5 "Tons of talent, beautiful people, gripping action, too bad they forgot to hire any writers. Story? Plot? Character development? Nope, let's get'm humpin' & blow some s&:t up!!!",4 "Quentin Tarantino, Leo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie. What could go wrong? Apparently a lot of things. One of the most awaited films, rich of talent, is an absolute snore fest. First 2 hours are following 3 seprate storylines of 3 chracters and out of 3 only Brad Pitts one was mildly interesting while other 2 had no sense or purpose. It was so boring I could not belive it was a Tarantino flick. Last 15 minutes filled with action, humor and gore are some of the Tarantinos finest and are the only saving grace of this movie. All in all this movie is long and boring and HAS NO PURPOSE, it finishes with a bang that saves this movie from being absolutly horrible.",4 "An excellent biopic, similar to Rush, it has great racing scenes and cars. Excellent acting and story. I recommend this film.",7 I have given stars only for fighting scene other than fighting scene there no story no plot just action fills bad for Chris.,6 "Hmmm? This one is a poser? In some ways I like the ""Amelie"" style quirkiness, but I also like the more serious elements too, so it's a bit hard to quantify a review, because I'm not sure that they go together? It kind of needed to be all one way or the other or a very fine lined balance of both in the middle. I'm not sure they hit that mark. Overall the film was made very well and the acting was superb. I particularly liked the actor playing Dr HoffStetler/Bob, who I think is an underrated actor. It's also nice to see the guy playing the gay neighbour getting more work. Wasn't he in 'Six Feet Under' or was it 'Lost'? In fact, as I've said they all did very well, but I don't have the time to list all of their talents. I have to say I was expecting it to be less about the espionage side of things and more about the blossoming romance. The trailers seemed to suggest that it would have more similarities to 'Splash', but be more of an art house, pretty to look at type of film, than a cold war spy story with underground experiments. There are a number of points that quite literally turned my stomach, but also some very sweet and tender moments. It was good that things didn't always go as expected, but it would have been nice to see more of the Pie Man and have that develop as I hoped it would. I may have to come back to this review, as I'm still not sure what I think about it. It's definitely something that makes you stop to think and there are messages in there to be found.",5 "This is a real decent spy movie. It doesn't sprawl all over the place but shows the duplicity in espionage in a close up way. The coercion and brutality were believable. The biggest flaw was the floppy disks, who still uses those? This was set in modern time so I don't know where those came from. Does the DOD still use them?",7 "Not that this is the first time the academy of motion picture arts and science has diminished its Best Picture of the Year award, but I haven't seen a dudd like this one since Chariots of Fire. There have been plenty of other Best Picture winners that I didn't care for, don't get me wrong I'm not singling this one out. Its just that Hurt Locker really diminishes the idea of Oscar Night and a Best Picture. Are things really melting down in Hollywood to a point where a Cartoon-special effects-people movie and a lackluster war movie vie for Best picture? Don't even try telling me there wasn't some vengeful politicing going on in Bigelow's favor. I didn't see Avatar, because I will not watch that special effects nonsense. At least Bigelow used real people, scenes, explosives, etc. Maybe it was just a bad year. They happen. A lot of posters have mentioned foibles about the accuracy of the movie with the Iraq War. I can't offer much about that, except that I know most soldiers don't want to be in Iraq and it also appeared to me that the Foot Locker actors didn't want to be in this movie. So there is something genuine about it.",3 "I was very skeptical about watching this show. The fact that it was ANOTHER serial killer show, and a spin off, and the fact that it was on NBC ... I thought there was no way it would be good. But I could not have been more wrong. This is a truly excellent show. It is not in any way cheesy or dumb the way so many similar shows are. I actually don't understand how this show got onto a network like NBC to begin with-This show is DARK. And I don't mean ""dark"" like it's violent... it's much more than that. There are many great qualities to this show but what sets it apart from all other shows is the tone and its aesthetics. The visuals, the sounds, the imagery-are absolutely astounding. I cannot believe more shows have not tried to incorporate the kind of look and feel that Hannibal has. Long story short - This is an Excellent Series. I would even go as far to say that it's probably one of my 10 favorite Shows of all time, along with: The Sopranos, Twin Peaks, Fargo, Breaking Bad, Lost, The Leftovers, The Wire, Legion, Dark, Westworld, Game Of Thrones, & The Americans .... If you like Complex, Dark, Surreal, Intense shows like me - Then, you can't go wrong with Hannibal.",10 "Yep, it is Adam Sandler and Aniston, with some dodgy cameos and a Jason Bourne soundtrack, but after a day at work, few drinks in, it is an enjoyable, silly euro romp with some good gags and lovely scenery (not to mention a Testarossa) crap but fun, does not take itself too seriously...",6 "Director: Francis Ford Coppola Writers: Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo Actors: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Robert Duvall My Points: 7,2 - 3½/5 A very slow beginning, VERY SLOW! Well, this movie is so long (3h 22min) - so there has to be lots of 'boring' scenes. But, there also almost didn't have any point. Like this were a over due tv-show. This was far away from the first movies awesomene's. In the end, there where finally something happening, but... This was slow, and kinda boring movie. I dont get, how this got 9.0 points (on IMDb)?! This is maybe the worst of the trilogy, I cant think how the ""Part III"" can be worst than this... Well, this has better grade (on IMDb), but I'm guessing this one is the worst - of the Godfather trilogy... Well, the next movie - what I will review - will be the third and last movie. Then we will know the order of these movies (at least in my opinion...)!",7 "I usually love these kinds of series. I am an avid fan of everything from The twilight Zone to Tales from the Darkside and even Stranger Things. However, I barely made it through one episode of this. The plot was boring, the acting was uninspired. The episode I watched had english speaking actors/actresses I could barely make out any of what they were saying. Not to mention the soft porn images and sex scenes that were constantly shown throughout the entire episode was in very bad taste. I am no stranger to controversial movies and shocking shows or even sex in movies. Hell I was raised in the 80's when movies and shows were alot more shocking and controversial then what we have today. However, I was both disgusted and mortified by what I saw in this show. In the end, I found the whole story to be so pointless and stupid that the gratuitous porn just seemed even more outrageous to me. It seems like when they made this show they underestimated our intelligence as viewers and decided that by putting this filth together they could pass it off to us as ""entertainment"". Personally I did not find any of it even remotely entertaining. I can recommend Stranger Things but as for this show, you might want to pass.",2 I want my two hours back!!! The first movie was probably one of the best movies from disney-marvel but this was so awful and painful to watch. Very bad plot and script with very cheap visual effects. I felt like I was watching another disney movie with the bad witch and the good princess?? Even the acting was bad!!! I can not understand what went so wrong to make such a bad movie. All this thing I watch was way to off.,3 "Possibly the worst film of the year! The only reason we didn't walk out on it was we didn't want to disturb the couple next to us. Nothing redeeming about this movie...script, acting, pacing (frantic) and character development were all low level at best. This seemed to be some sort of ego trip for Sandler and it became uncomfortable to watch after a while. The only good part was the last minute...but that was a tough 134 minutes of suffering to pay. BTW...if you don't like pro basketball, you'll probably hate it that much more. Be prepared to be inundated with basketball clips that should have been left on the cutting room floor with a LOT more of this pretentious 2+15 hour movie about nothing.",2 "Perfect show to watch if you want to play a drinking game. Just take a drink every time one of them says ""Sorry"". Or whenever Daisy is nude. You'll be blasted in no time. Seriously ""Normal People""? More like abnormal people. There was no normal in it. They both should have been in deep analysis for years, including her family. Seriously I did enjoy the first few episodes, especially the high school ones, but when they got to Trinity it started to go downhill. About 2/3 of the way through I'd had enough of these two morose whiners. Two of the most unhappiest people I've ever seen, didn't matter if they were together or apart. When they weren't having sex they just kind of sat around looking wistful. They had no conversation and even the last episode when they were supposedly back together they seemed so awkward together, like it was their first date. I suppose this is what passes for highbrow literature/filmmaking these days. Haven't read the book. But wouldn't now on a bet.",4 "Captain America: Civil War is directed by Anthony & Joe Russo and stars Chris Evans, Robert Downy Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Daniel Brül and last but definitely not least, Tom Holland. After another incident involving destruction, chaos and death, the Avengers are required to sign a contract with a governing body to ensure they are only called upon when absolutely vital. Tony Stark and Steve Rogers become enemies due to a disagreement and the other Avengers are caught in the crossfire. Firstly I'd like to state that I'm not overly keen on how 70% of movies these days are centred around superheroes or their respective universes. I've always enjoyed the instalments Marvel have been releasing in the MCU canon and this is no different... But yet it is. Anthony and Joe Russo so skilfully directed 'The Winter Soldier' that I had no doubts for 'Civil War' and I had a deep feeling it would be perfect. I was right. This is how you direct a superhero movie. Take note Zach Snyder and DC Comics, because this is entertainment. The action sequences are so brilliantly directed and shot that it's impossible to keep your eyes off the screen. It's fast-paced, rapid, clean and smart. If you've seen their work before then you know how beautiful their direction is. And not just in the action sequences; the real conflict and deceit between these heroes is written extremely well and shows you both sides to the story. It's really hard to decide who you side with as a viewer, and that's what is truly wonderful and unique about this movie. It has you rooting for both sides of the argument, regardless of who your favourite characters are. Along with the usual team of Avengers we have some newcomers; Black Panther and Spider-Man. Chadwick Boseman did a terrific job as Panther and settles conveniently into the story. I look forward to seeing more of this character in future instalments. Tom Holland as Spidey. Perfect. He has an incredible balance between the web-slinger and teenager Peter Parker. He was introduced into the MCU nicely and was actually involved a lot more than I had expected, which was a great surprise. He handles the comedy with absolute ease and had the entire theatre laughing in all of his scenes. I am stunned and cannot wait to see more of him! Music by Henry Jackman is just as tense and gritty as it was in 'The Winter Soldier' and as the screenplay evolves, the new 'Civil War' theme gravitates to the foreground. Instead of a mash of motifs, Jackman decided that it would be easier to have one overall theme. I appreciate this decision. My verdict; Captain America: Civil War had major potential to be a disappointment. But luckily the Russo brothers came through just as they did before with a complete masterpiece. This is now my favourite MCU instalment by far. Go and see this movie. Captain America: Civil War, 10/10.",9 "As it is usual with this site, the reviews are quite polarazing so I'm gonna be super neutral. This is movie is just good. That's it. Some are calling it perfection and a masterpiece but they are just hyping it out, and on the other hand some giving ratings of 1 or 2 and calling out all the issues and a few plotholes that it has. In my honest opinion I will give it a six because I did like the story, the pace, the acting and suspense, but I have to agree that there are a few plotholes and (at least in my opinion) the ending wasn't completely satisfactory",7 "The idea of a show with a stories that don't interconnect and each episode has different casts always intrigued me. It's a gamble because you can get an episode that's the equivalent to 'the room' or one equivalent to 'the godfather'. Black mirror is what I expected, some episodes are fantastic and others are meh, similar to the twilight zone. But it's commentary on modern technology really is fascinating so you'll always get at least one good moment from an episode",8 "Some may argue that this film is too violent. Some may say that this film is offensive to those who live in Minnesota or North Dakota due to the exaggerated accents. Nevertheless, this film is superb in that it has just the right amount of mix between comedy, horror, and police procedural antics. I recommend it because it does flow well, and you get to appreciate the talents and commitment the actors put into this film. Rewatching this in 2023, I have come to appreciate why this has become a cult classic that has spawned its own TV series dating back to 2014, with a season 5 just dropped, paying homage to the movie with neat Easter eggs. If you enjoy the TV series, you'll do yourself a favor with a rewatch of this one.",9 "We as Americans love to hear about the self-made man. Someone who saw an opportunity and made something for himself. American Made is the story of how Barry Seal, half CIA flyboy, half Colombian drug runner, made his fortunes by seizing a golden opportunity. Barry Seal is a Trans World Airlines pilot stuck in a boring life of taxying from destination to destination. He's a thrill seeker that gets his rush from smuggling in Cuban cigars. This attracts the attention of CIA agent Monty Schaffer who recruits Seal to take flyover pictures of suspected communist countries in Central America. After a few runs to through Colombia, Seal is roped into doing cocaine runs for drug lords, one of which happens to be Pablo Escobar. Barry is now making a fortune running drugs into America while also working for the government. Conflicts of interest start to arise and his loyalty is tested by both sides. The film flies at a breakneck pace, going from year to year in mere minutes. We see Barry with CIA in '77, then it quickly changes to '79 and the drug lords are introduced. The speed fits Barry's life since he was constantly flying for somebody, but it doesn't allow for situations to fully develop and breathe. Once something is explained, something else pops up. This causes confusion to build up around halfway through that never gets sorted out. Another problem with the story is how it inadequately juggles all the different parties involved in the plot. The CIA is introduced early but goes missing multiple times before popping up again for a short time. The plot involving the drug dealers take up most of the middle third but also go missing near the end. The message of American Made is explained right in the title. Barry Seal was a real man that made a fortune off of America's ineptness at foreign policy and fighting the war on drugs. He is the essence of what every American dream to be. We condemn him for cheating the government and delivering illegal drugs, but also wish we were him because of the luxury and thrill that comes from that kind of life. People who enjoy Cruise-led action films such as will enjoy this because of the similar charm and fun intertwined with action scenes. The peril never feels that immediate and we always get the feeling that Cruise will talk his way out. I also expect the older generation to turn out for this because of the many plot points that circle around American politics during the 1970's. Younger viewers might not be that interested, but the people who lived during that time will get a kick out of it. Director Doug Liman sells the usual anti-American message that comes from films taking place in the turbulent 70's and 80's. We witness Reagan politics and the underbelly of the CIA working in Central America. The filming is done in the 70's style. Some images are out of focus and in many instances, you can see heavy grain. This works to the films benefit by making it feel more authentic and like the story is being told through a television screen from back then. Tom Cruise is exceptional as Barry Seal. He plays off his best features; good looks and ability to charm everyone in the room. The entire film is revolved around him and we never lose sight of him, which is a good thing here. Domhnall Gleeson is pretty good as the enigmatic and troublesome CIA agent Schaffer. Sarah Wright is another highlight as Barry's wife who gets pushed around because of his crazy adventures. Jesse Plemons barely supports as Sheriff Downing, which is good because his character really has no use in the film and should've been cut. American Made is one of those films that you know has problems, but you like it anyway because it's fun to watch. Not every film is perfect, but usually, the ones that are the most fun to watch are the ones we remember the best. Audiences should enjoy this film for Tom Cruise and high flying antics and not think too hard about some structural problems.",7 I enjoyed this movie. It can be quite slow but the editing can create some suspense and interesting moment. I recommend this movie.,7 "I suspected that the rave reviews for this movie came from mostly teenage/young boys, and that seems to be the case based on the polls. In fact, this movie is essentially impossible to follow, and worst of all, you won't care about a single character in it--not really, anyway. There is no drama, there are simply empty characters mouthing nonsense about dreams and dreams within dreams. It steals from the Matrix and other movies, and does a far worse job with similar material than those better movies did. Perhaps the first full hour or more is little more than chat that is full of hot air and psychobabble but that probably a lot of people in the audience don't bother thinking about. Everyone's waiting for the special effects, which do come along, but when they do, you probably won't care what happens or for that matter, even know what is happening. Vans falling from bridges, a snow fortress under attack--why? What? No matter. You'll be led to believe this all Means Something, but it doesn't, and worse, you'll feel nothing too.",3 "Maybe the film company felt that by splitting the book into two movies they could make twice as much cash. But after seeing Part 1 I feel that even if money was the motive it was the right choice for the quality also. I was very satisfied with the film. The seventh book was a great ending to a brilliant series. However if one splits it on the middle I think the first half is considerably weaker. The infamous camping parts where the book really started to drag. So one could expect the adaptation of the first part to feel a bit slower also. But I was positively surprised by how well they have succeeded, the film is not just very good on it's own but might even stand out as one of the better in the series. The series has gotten more and more mature for each film. Not just the tone and violence but also the characters, their emotions and such. It's great fun to see how the characters grow and the relations between them develop. It all works brilliant. I think the films have done well in capturing the feel of the characters form the books and in this film you get to follow them even closer. All the actors make a great performance. New additions to the cast Bill Nighy and Rhys Ifans are good and suit there roles fine. The tone of the film is pretty gray and sad like the story, but they have done it well to get the right feel without making it dull and empty. The film stays on track and keeps the right tone all the way. Doesn't add any unnecessary jokes and no cheesy scenes or dialogue which has happened in previous films. No attempts to make the film both mature and childish, something one could fear they would try. The action scenes in the Harry Potter films has never been the strong point. The characters and story is still the best but the action has gotten better and this is without doubt the best yet. Thanks to being split in two the story telling is much more detailed and done in a more graspable pace. The story has gotten more complicated but I feel it's easier to follow whats going on here than in Prisoner of Azkaban. I can't imagine how the story could be told in a good way in just one film, doing it like this was the best way. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is a superb film that greatly lives up to my expectations. All aspects of it are really well done, story telling, character development, depth and emotion, even great action. Looking forward to part 2 which I feel has all the capacity, meaning even more thrilling plot to be even better!",8 "Excellent Movie..must watch..,............. * * * * * * * * *",10 "I haven't seen the original Lost in Space, so this was my first introduction to the Robinson's family, and their exploits. I read many reviews, which gave this series very low stars, because it wasn't faithful to the original, and what not. I wouldn't know about that. So, here's my list of pros and cons of, why you should, or shouldn't watch it. (VERY TINY, MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD) PROS: 1. Very gripping story, with lots of twists and turns. Makes you want to binge watch it 2. Amazing villain character. I hated her with utmost vengeance the whole time 3. Excellent VFX/graphics/special effects (whatever you want to call it). If it looks real and believable, it's good enough for me 4. Character development is good 5. I REALLY liked that 'Don' character. Hope to see more of him in the next season (if it gets renewed) 6. 'Penny' is really cute :P 7. The Robot's character is quite interesting CONS: 1. Lead characters keep making STUPID mistakes. So MANY mistakes, that sometimes it gets difficult to watch. I mean, they were trained for this type of mission! They are supposed to make better decisions! 2. Plot points are stretched sometimes 3. And once again, 'Will' is very stupid 4. Should have a better soundtrack I give it 8/10. Would definitely want to watch the next season.",2 "It makes me sad to let this awesome chance go to waste like that. The Songs got so lame to what we had before. I this movie loved when it came out in 94 and I even bought the VHS from my own allowence when i was 8. I still love the OST till now and the musical, just wow. But this Film is like sitting in an elevator. I sat in this Movie focusing Kids as an audience and those kids in my cinema laughed only when Pumba farted during the stars scene. 3 Stars: 1 for German Scar Sychro, 1 for the very impressive visuals, 1 for ""the lion sleeps tonight"". Go get the Original for your kids and yourself to watch or if you are able go to musical but avoid this horrbile adaptation.",3 "The movie is magical, effects, designs are very well done, nostalgic atmosphere from the best Harry Potter films. The story has some twists and turns, but it does suffers from some pacing problems. Overall, a good introduction to these new characters!",7 Almost 100 year Indian cinema but not see Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Photo and true story our people how stay slums and also jay bhim this d dialogue in cinema thanks Nagraj manjile sir u do it.,10 "It's very well made, just that Ms Gomez's horrible acting ruins it every time she is on. Forget about the dialogue delivery, get expressionless face makes the series unwatchable.",6 Too much local linguistic error. Irrelevant portrait. Lack of research on subcontinental values & flavor.,4 "Stiff-wooden acting, seems very forced story line. Didn't enjoy the first episode.",3 "Fargo is a modern classic film that I implore many film fans to see. Fargo is one of the best written stories ever to be put on film. The story maintains a certain style throughout and this style is effective. The dialogue is plain, mundane, real, but maintains a certain ridiculousness. Of course, this is a trait that the Coen Brothers are known for. But in Fargo, it is shown in full form. The contrast between the characters accents, mannerisms, sensibilities, and their current situations is hilarious. This is how one does dark comedy. Take a story that still works if put in Los Angeles or New York and place it somewhere a bit outlandish yet relatable. Most of the other technical aspects are solid. Most aren't too impressive, but are obviously a step above most films. The score is great as well, keeps the audience tense and is fitting to the story. Of course one can't talk about this film without mentioning the acting. Everyone plays the part well, even down to Scotty Lundegaard. Especially Frances McDormand, who had an absolutely phenomenal performance. She's strong, funny, and brings a lot of life to the film. But like I've stated before, the writing and style is what makes this movie classic. It will forever be one of my personal favorite films, and hopefully it will for you too.",10 "STAR RATING: ***** Brilliant **** Very Good *** Okay ** Poor * Awful Tech millionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton) invites a select group of people to his private island (with a giant Glass Onion structure, hence the title), including Andrew Tate alike Duke Cody (Dave Bautista), fellow tech investor Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson), renowned detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) and Andi Brand (Janelle Monae), who has a score to settle with Bron, to participate in a seemingly innocuous murder mystery weekend, with a cash prize for the winner. However, as the weekend unfolds, it quickly becomes clear all is not as it seems. It speaks to the power of Netflix these days that the big budget sequel to a theatrical smash hit can premiere on their channel now, and make hey only for them. But still, the original writer/director and leading cast member have returned, along with a slew of new faces, for this grand, bombastic follow up to the 2019 runaway hit. Filmed in a world where COVID had run amok, Rian Johnson takes the cultural consciousness in to consideration, with the cast in face masks, while the location switches from the inner confines of a remote mansion to the sunnier, more appealing setting of a sunny island. Reprising his lead role from the original film, Craig seems like he can comfortably make Blanc a signature role, now that his tenure as Bond has come to an end, and like in the first film, he has a solid, strong supporting cast behind him to prop things up. Norton is easily the most charismatic of said SC, making his smarmy tech whizz character bounce off the screen, but the likes of Bautista and Monae also add their deft little touches to the film. Once again, there's an interesting, convoluted story that requires you to pay attention, along with some spectacular set pieces and crazy action. It could be said that the pace drags in certain parts, as there's definitely something that stops it from being perfect, but overall it's a highly satisfactory and undeniably inevitable follow up to one of modern cinema's better received films. ****",9 "The rare case of a sequel to a masterpiece improving, expanding and deepening the scope of the original; one of the greatest movies ever made.",10 "Dunkirk is truly spectacular and breathtaking in terms of cinematography. As well as a powerful, tense and gripping atmosphere.",7 "The movie was disappointing to me, unfortunately Toooooo long, poor story very old actors that reflected their performance losing of suspense I don't recommend watching it, Wonderful music, the only positive thing in this movie",3 "Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is struggling to make ends meet and having a hard time keeping his secret. He can't even keep his pathetic pizza delivery job. Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) is having some success on Broadway. Meanwhile Harry Osborn (James Franco) hasn't lost his hatred of Spidey. He is now funding Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) and his work on fusion. However something goes wrong in his demonstration and a new villain is born. Director Sam Raimi is able to inject a bit of spidey fun in this movie. The internal struggle in Peter Parker about his identity is very compelling. And Alfred Molina makes for a great villain. I especially like J.K. Simmons as Jameson. They're great characters. As for the CGI, they look very nice without looking like a video game. I like the arms and I like the web swinging. It's a well put together movie and may be even better than the first.",8 "Turns out to be one of the best performances of Shah Rukh Khan. if you think ""my name is khan"" was his best , then this movie will definitely question that. The accent of the fan ( gaurav, how he acts as a real fan (like we all do for srk...no wonder why) does a phenomenal job. the other characters are kept shady and the focus is mostly upon the lead , aryan and gaurav. The character gaurav simply steels the show with his jovial attitude in the first half.the other half is however how bad ass both characters can get to satisfy their ego.Aryan,on the other side is simply portraying SRK. In the end , Shah did justice with both characters.",10 "Great story, great characters, fantastic cinematography and score. It's a masterpiece of television - congratulations to all those involved! When I first watched S1 Ep1, I thought that this series wasn't for me - it was too sci-fi for my tastes. But at my kids' insistence, I perservered with it and by the end of ep 2 I was hooked. The story was super engaging, the characters were brilliantly portrayed and there's 80s Easter-eggs throughout which were really fun to spot. I have now completed all seasons and while there are definitely seasons that I prefer, I would wholeheartedly recommend this title, and look forward to the next (and final?) season.",9 "Movies are odd sometimes. In this case, I feel like the review I would have written the second the credits rolled would've been more positive than the one I'm watching now, a couple of hours later. But, as I've had time to sit with this one, I can't help but feel my opinion on it... Diminishing. Let's start on the positive though. This movie is fun. A lot of fun. It's funny, clever and it's trying to get a message across. The actors are all doing a fine job and while I might not have personally thought them to be perfectly cast, that doesn't take away from the fine job that they all did. Beyond the superficial though, I think this movie starts to suffer the more and more I dig into it. I think the pacing is just a bit off. It's either going too slow or too fast, most of the time, not necessarily to a tremendous degree, but certainly a noticeable one. Then there's the whole message of the movie, which is certainly important but is something that feels like it just came too late. I don't know that we need this particular take on sex and gender roles right now. Again, not because it's not relevant, but because other things have beat this to the finish line and frankly, done it better. This is like swinging through a McDonalds to get a Barbie pink strawberry shake after having had a delicious meal already. Sure it's fun, but it's largely pointless. It's the fluff following the real deal. That's not exactly a dealbreaker, but for a film that spends so much of its time and energy on certain things, it definitely felt diminished by the fact that its really just retreading ground already walked, albeit in a shinier package. Between that and the runaway hype train on this, all the controversy and coverage it's gotten, it's hard to not walk away from this and feeling a bit disappointed. Again, fun movie. Enjoyable movie for the most part even. It feels very much like something with superficial popularity though. Yes, it's being talked about, it's in the conversation and people are paying attention to it now but I have a very hard time imagining this having the same kind of lasting impact as other films might. And maybe that's not what it's trying to do, maybe I'm prescribing too much meaning to it, that could very well be true. But, for a movie so focused on certain things, it's hard not to draw those conclusions.",6 "It was most awaited series , liked how they started and leaded the story ,and kept it interesting to turn the page but I have to say I am quite not satisfied with the ending. It was good but end didn't felt relieved can't see the happiness after so much struggling that was really missing. I was expecting a thriller but satisfactory end therefore I can say it was worth watching series. However they killed characters as well Eddie and Max is not even exactly alive. Series is so great but end could have been better do not need to ruin the whole series end just to begin another chapter I guess. I loved it but bit upset as I spend my whole evening to watch this. But don't feel satisfied enough. Anyway milli Bobby brown you are doing great job and loved you in the series couldn't ever forget eleven 🌞",8 "If you're into superheroes, stranger things, sci/fi, action. etc. this show definitely does not disappoint. When I finish a series with hour long episodes in a matter of TWO DAYS, that's when I know it's good. Storyline is very different than the typical superhero script and I thought each actor/actress who played the Hargreeves siblings did an excellent job developing their characters throughout the series. (Klaus and Number Five were my favorite characters). Please if you are reading this review, watch season 1 on netflix now, because I would love for netflix to renew this series so I can watch season 2 as soon as it comes out!",9 "RATED 7/10 Language: Kannada Media Partner: Voot Good family friendly movie... One of the best Pet movie made in Indian cinema. They got rid of all Hollywood cliche of Pet movies and stuck in Indian cinema cliches...The movie was too good in first half and enjoyable till the dog show. From the dog show till climax it was full of templated episodes... The biggest problem in this movie is they put dog in the place of heroine and followed the same old disease template... The climax on the temple was so touching and the dog was too good. She was trained so well... One time watchable with family and kids. After they kids might get strong will to adopt pets :)",7 "This film is a love letter to fans of the genre. Absolutely a gem for all time. Once you start you cant STOP!!! Top Notch execution! I haven't seen a film that has kept my attention like this one has in a very long time. The story is so bold but yet flourishes with tenderness, it will literally make you feel every emotion imaginable like a harp being strummed from one end to the other. Don't miss out on a well executed film. It has surpassed so many of my expectations and has put many blockbuster films of the genre to shame. Take it from me it has made me and instant fanboy. Till Next Time!!",9 "The first five seasons of 24 remain, in this reviewer's opinion, the gold standard of the series in terms of intelligence, creativity, casting and emotional resonance; arguably the most riveting television ever. I gave them all 10 stars. These were very much the product of writer, co-creator and self-described Hollywood right-winger Joel Surnow and were adept at reversing liberal expectations, for example featuring a villainous-and black- First Lady, and imposing agonizing choices on the protagonists. When Surnow's full time commitment ended following the fifth season the franchise shed a dozen IQ points. But 24 still scored as more entertaining than your average fare thanks to the compelling format he devised with Robert Cochran and the always reliable Kiefer Sutherland. Critics and many fans considered Season 6, featuring Jack Bauer's pathological family (who knew?), a misfire. The chastened producers were determined to right the ship and the first half of Season 7, set in Washington DC, re-captured some of the old magic (Surnow returned as exec- producer for the fist eight episodes) before entropy set in and the show collapsed into terminal silliness (those ridiculous missiles!). Season 8, now re-located to New York City, starts lethargically but generates electricity as it builds. CTU resurfaces in a whiz-bang setting and Sutherland contributes a driving performance, some say to the point of stepping out of character and damaging the Bauer brand in his character's quest for vengeance. The season makes little use of NYC exteriors but that doesn't much matter as the bulk of the action plays out, in traditional 24 style, inside offices, parking structures, warehouses and behind the tinted windows of SUVs. Heavy demands are placed on the viewer's common sense (the early seasons sold their improbabilities better) and plot warhorses stampede again, e.g. 'the mole', but you get your money's worth. Get ready for Season 9...",7 "The whole plot relies on one or more characters doing something really stupid and out of character. Again and again. The resolution is even more silly and cartoonish. I felt like I was watching a CW's episode of The Flash What the hell was that?",4 "Better play the games. No fantasy world spirit just a modern lifeless blabbering that ends up tiring the viewer. No wonder that both US series and movies are on the decline. It would be better if it were a joint Korean Polish venture !",3 Ofcourse as they do with every other Marvel movie and show the fans will overrate it greatly but it's still worth a watch. It's a different approach from Marvel and it's far from what we're used to seeing from them but it still will make you feel hooked after a few episodes even if it's more like a sitcom than an actionfilled superhero series.,7 "How dare some to compare this pathetic and atrocious director (Michael Bay) with Zack Snyder. I know, Snyder also cares about making a visually compelling movie. But other than that, there is just nothing else with Bay. This movie is so stupid that it makes the ""Fast and Furious"" saga feel like classes of quantum physics. But I'm not laughing. This movie is dangerous. You can be dumb (I am too). But this is not that. This movie purposely and proudly shouts how stupid it is. This movie tells us that being an idiot is liberating. This movie celebrates being stupid. This movie is disgusting. I'm 99% sure Michael Bay is disgusting too. The actors? Probably just wanted easy money. Morally questionable, but I can understand I guess. But Michael Bay? He's a corrupt soul. PD: By the way, this movie is political too. But I guess right wingers won't protest the political messages in movies if they agree with them.",1 "I've watched this from the beginning, and was intrigued from the start -- the first two seasons were really good! ...then the 3rd Season came. What a huge disappointment! Sure, visually, it's very cinematic -- perhaps even too much so for TV -- but the dialogue became very distracting in its streaming of pithy little sound bites. I've been struggling for a while to come up with the right words to describe it: it's like streaming overly-dramatic one-liners together to make up a sentence. Terribly distracting! Then there's the utter confusion, the warping of space/time that Einstein would've been proud of witnessing. That was always the initial hook of the series, through Will, but it took a whole new level this season -- enough to be just utterly confusing and, honestly, less fun. So, while I've enjoyed the first couple seasons, and, have been struggling thru the last season, I see no other way for this series to end but by overproduction suicide: over-thinking it to death.",7 "I half wanted to see this, as I'm not the biggest fan of Marvel's film franchise. The first Captain America was less than convincing to say the least, and he's never been anywhere near my favorite comics character. But here he's a badass! The action sequences are pure eye-candy. CGI is kept to a minimum (or at least -- the minimum a superhero movie would allow). The fighting choreography is fast paced and varied, the Cap isn't overpowered or getting his ass handed to him all the time (like movie Wolverine). His powers are developed in an ingenious way and don't deviate from the source material, to please the Avengers fans out there. Chris Evans' performance is solid, even though the Captain can be annoying at times with his naive outlook on today's world. Still, those are only fleeting moments, and overall, the character is quite likable. There's definitely a nice dynamic with Scarlett Johansson, who is convincing as a more fleshed out Black Widow. The tone of the movie is quite different from other Marvel blockbusters: it's much darker, more inspired by high tension thrillers. Obviously, the plot doesn't hold up to any Robert Redford classic, and isn't all that deep but then who would go into a Marvel movie expecting Citizen Kane or the Manchurian Candidate? The weak link here is the antagonist, who is definitely poorly handled. I didn't remember him from the first movie and honestly didn't care about the emotional aspect of his confrontation with the Cap. These appear as relatively minor flaws compared to the rest of the film though, and the highlight really is the action sequences.",6 As a history lesson on construction and engineering of WW1 trenches this was an interesting watch. In terms or storyline or action there is more in a single episode of band of brothers than in this entire movie!,7 "Wow what a complicated plot for what really amounts to ""white people are the devil and brown people are literal angels sent from heaven.""",2 "It was hard to tell what this movie was trying to get at. It was like a reflection of the philosophy of the age: everything. I mean really everything, is possible, and it iis up to you to choose it. And yet it didn't really believe that either, because it was fatalistic also, like toppings on a bagel. You have no control of it. There ate good themes, but they are jumbled up. Yet on the surface apparent selfless love wins through in the end for mo apparent reason. The acting was brilliant, but the mediocrity of the script means it will be one of those movies that we will be wondering in years to come how on earth it won so many oscars.",3 "Many shows start go down after 3 season, however, Daredevil definitely not one of those shows. Daredevil like many other Netflix's shows has a great quality. Until today, all those Marvel TV shows, Daredevil should be the best.",9 "I was born 2 years after Chernobyl so I always knew what happened there from my parents. We live in Poland,so luckily we were spared the worst of the radiation but my mum told me that our government also kept shut about the catastrophe. Despite knowing what happened in general,I still had goosebumos while watching and was extremely pissed at the politicians who tried to hide it. Very captivating mini series. Just remember to keep some chocolate close by,you may need it to cheer yourself up.",9 "It is a rainy day after Christmas 2023 and I'm just sitting here flipping through my streaming devices and I noticed once upon a time in Hollywood and I realize that was something I wanted to see and never did so I started to watch it and I am flabbergasted I mean, this should be a movie for me. I'm a big fan of Quentin Tarantino past tense I should say And I am part of that generation that they are portraying in the movie I recognize the actors alluded to and the music etc. So imagine my surprise when I fell asleep literally after about 10-15 minutes starting into it! Began watching again -the same thing I know I'm not ill I guess what I'm saying is it was boring!!!! And that surprised me tremendously but truth be told that is how I took it great actors but misused I guess because I can't say anything great about Brad Pitt or Leo DiCaprio on this and I've seen a lot of good work on both their parts, so great Director with some great actors and not such a great film.",6 "If you want to use local language at least you should try to use correct accent so that when the local people watch it, they don't laugh. Ninety five percent of the story happened in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Next time if you make movies on other countries, at least do some research, so you won't become a laughing stock. A very bad production from Russo brothers.",2 Jojo Rabbit is a really good film even if it did feel pretty cliche at times. Taika Waititi made a film that has it comedic moments but knows when to be serious.,7 "It's naive to expect truth from 'based-on-true-story' projects, but narrative content should be required ingredient. 'American Made' plays like a movie trailer throughout its two-hour length, stirring together the standard motifs of 1980s cocaine smuggling sagas like 'Blow'. The story boils down to a procession of mustachioed Colombian cartel bosses, DEA agents and drug-courier aviators hauling cocaine, firearms and bags of cash around jungle landing strips, hotel lobbies and small town banks in the ugly fashions of the day. Tom Cruise portrays pilot protagonist Barry Seal as an easygoing coke-smuggling, gun-running, Caddy-driving adventurer. His self-deprecating charm and aerial dare-devilry are supposed to hold the film together, but both charisma and exploits seem stale. After the CIA persuade Seal to aid their anti-communist follies in Central America, he fends off the various suspicions and demands of his dumb blonde wife, crooked associates and two-faced CIA handlers. The script never develops any of these stock characters as the story unfolds with the depth of a music video. At the conclusion, there's little reason to believe a word of it, or care what happens to any of the participants.",1 "There is no spoiler here. I don't get it: why make a show like this? Is it just an excuse to raid the wardrobe dept? It is a million other mediocre TV coms. But they throw some smoke and fog around, use fake Brit accents, and give them swords. Every other dynamic, mannerism is 100% of this millennium. Nothing in the writing has anything to do with the times in which it is supposed to take place.",1 "I DON'T CARE WHAT THE CRITICS SAY. THIS FILM IS BORING AND USELESS. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. YOU WILL TURN IT OFF AT HALFTIME, IF YOU GET THAT FAR. WE JUST BLEW 6 BUCKS AT HOME ON A BAD, DISINTERESTING, FRAGMENTED, FILM.",1 "I'm a big fan of the Witcher games and have completed them multiple times. I'm sad to say that the Netflix series ISN'T a faithful reproduction of the massively popular game series... Ciri, Triss Merigold, Yennefer, Dandelion and Fringilla all don't look anything like they originally did... basically the ONLY character that looks anything like they originally did is Geralt, but it's not a striking resemblance by any stretch of the imagination because the real Geralt is a much older human male than Henry Cavill is. So basically ALL characters in the Netflix series don't resemble the original characters at all, which is very disappointing. I was hoping that the Netflix series would honor the fantastic story of the original, but it turns out it doesn't. Perhaps if you were a complete neophyte to the games, series and books, then you would find each of the characters to be fitting, but it's just impossible to do so when you have done any previous reading/playing in the Witcher universe. The other issues with the series is the fact that they frequently do flash-backs and flash-forwards, and yet they don't indicate it in ANY way... so the viewer is left clueless as to what they are really watching... Is it the future? Is it the past? Is it the present? NOBODY KNOWS... it's honestly VERY confusing especially when they do it multiple times in a single episode. There are also several HUGE plot-holes in the series... I can't go into detail regarding the plot-holes but trust me: I've counted around 8 plot-holes in this first season, and it really just comes down to poor writing and sloppy plot-design. Overall, it's a cool series if you're into the fantasy genre, but 95% of the series is just fake-drama and brooding-plot, instead of monster killing and adventuring to far away lands. So unfortunately, the Netflix series not only pales in comparison to the massively popular game series in quality and entertainment, but it isn't even worth watching at the end of the day. Rather stick to GoT if you haven't watched that yet, as this Netflix series will just leave you disappointed.",5 "If the first world country (U.

When it ends, it's more drama. Kids are role players and the parents are children.",2 "One of my favourite films ever, even better than part one in my opinion",10 The movie seems to have a slow movement. Its all about the happenings inside the European film industries. Only thing enjoyable is acting of Leonardo Decaprio and Brad pit. And Bruce Lee scene was interesting.,6 "After a really enjoyable first season, they completely lost it. So much pathos, artificial lens flares, traditional family values wherever you look and a soundtrack from hell. That's how to Disney a potentially good story, bug time. Season two was hard, season three was unbearable.",4 "Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman is the perfect duo for solving crimes.

Typical agents that are terrible at they're jobs his wife and daughter become unbearable within the first half dozen episodes then jack himself is just annoying by at least episode 12 tried to finish the first season but it was just infuriating how poorly the writing was so predictable. I understand the premise with the whole happens in real time was cool but my god doesn't make up for how terrible everything else about this show is. Really wanted to like it due to the premise but it was too hard due to the actors and writing. 1 star is being generous.",1 "After watching the first episode, I can say without any doubt that this is the most suspenful adaptation of a content pulled from a video game I've seen in a while maybe ever. I can't fully rate the show from one episode but one episode can promise alot. Different scenes were as if they were attached directly from the original material of the game made everything suspenful just like playing the game all over again but with adding just the right amount of suspense to keep you interested and literally on your toes all the way through the first episode. Really excited to see what will these new paths of the different sory turns will lead to hoping it will be as good as expected.",8 "So, people are saying it's not as good as GOT. Well, Hobbit and Lord of the rings are different from it too. Witcher has never supposed to be similar in any way. It's like trying to compare Star Wars and Alien series. Both are sifi movies but not the same, are they? It is different universe. It focuses on different aspects and witcher' world was created by Sapkowski some 30 years ago when nobody even heard of GOT. And as adaptation of those books The Witcher is just great. For me. For some of you, doesn't have to.",4 "the thing which annoyed me most about this film is that it's taken as ""clever"" as some great philosophy which can make people think, as in ""wow mind blowing a dream within a dream within a dream wow!"" and also focuses a bit on lucid dreaming (being aware that you are asleep and able to control your dreams). However I found it annoying throughout the entire film that the ideas behind the film are fundamentally immensely incorrect. This was the same problem in the film the Matrix, the idea that the unconscious mind is a part of ""us"" and we can tap into it to control our world. It isn't a part of the individual ""us"", certainly not one which we have power over. We are our conscious selves, we're influenced by the unconsciousness, but we do not define ourselves by our unconsciousness and can't control it, we simply define ourselves as our conscious selves, our conscious thoughts, our sub-conscious influences our conscious mind. We can attempt to influence our sub-conscious with what we expose our consciousness to, but all of the general philosophy is incorrect in kind of egotistically assuming that ""we"" are the entirety of our minds including all unconscious aspects. This is the reason why the spoon bending in the matrix cant work in real life, even though many of the concepts of the matrix are correct, for example the idea that our consciousness is living in a world which is created sub-consciously, but we can't consciously manipulate this projected world and bend a spoon in half just for realising this, because it's not a projection of the consciousness but of the sub-conscious, so to try to consciously bend the spoon is out of our control, showing that the sub-conscious projection has superiority over the consciousness, in reality the consciousness can't demand the sub-conscious to change this projection no matter how hard we try. This is a major flaw in a lot of philosophical buddhist existentialism I have encountered. The inability to realise the humbling idea that we are symbiotic life forms, both physically and mentally, and that we consciously are not entirely in control but a fragment of the entirety. The same error occurs in Inception, the film mentions the unconscious mind frequently, it constantly presents the idea that every aspect of the mind entirely belongs to ourselves (in other words all belongs to the conscious part of the mind), rather than the correct idea that our minds are actually in many different parts, sub-conscious is perhaps a huge generalisation (it actually covers every aspect of the mind which is not our conscious mind we're aware of and have direct control over) and some sub-conscious parts are actually superior over the conscious (in other words superior over ""us""). We, consciously, are not completely in power, but there is a higher subconscious mind if you like which dictates our thoughts and which we don't have control over, we are in essence a slave to this. Something the Matrix almost got spot on but got wrong in parts where it showed that you can consciously break out of this mental prison. Something which Inception also got wrong in how it talked about subconsciousness. And in fact when lucid dreaming you are NOT unconscious, you are in a state of consciousness whilst still asleep, aware that any crossover between your thoughts running wild and being able to think consciously doesn't strictly make sense. You are able to sleep in a state of semi-consciousness, conscious enough to be able to focus on any aspect of the dream to change it how you like. I did not find this film to be smart, it did not make me think (more than oh it made the same kind of mistake as the matrix philosophy which I'd already previously thought about), did not awe me with philosophy, but it just annoyed me with how juvenile the films take on unconsciousness is and how incorrect I think it is. It probably could have been so much more and explored ideas that could have stunned me, but it fell completely flat. Even in the DVD extras some professor of dreams? Or something, talks about this, and this person too annoyed me with what they said because I think they just don't get it, don't get what subconsciousness and consciousness really is. That is my take on it, I might sound crazy but, I disagree strongly with any of the fundamental ideas behind the films interpretation of what unconsciousness actually is, every time ""unconsciousness"" or the ""subconscious mind"" was mentioned it annoyed me because I disagreed with what was being said, I did not at all find it a clever film with clever concepts and fresh philosophical ideas.",4 "The movie was just a big fan service, the whole movie could just have ended with a push of a button, the acting was good but the plot was just bad and a big fan service.",4 Interesting look at barbies world but maybe not enough pink 😂. Loved the musical numbers and the star studded cast who did not falter on their delivery. The unfortunate truth of the real world's Patriarchal society is laid out perfectly. Sound track was awesome especially Lizzo. Have to say fun to see all the pink outfits rolling into the cinemas not many icons can have this effect. Sex and the city excluded. Doesn't take itself too seriously and deffinetly falls into the comedy genre comfortably. Will Ferrell is a great addition although I word have liked to have seen more of him. In the end it is Barbie's world.,9 "House of The Dragon - Well, the acting is not bad, the music is recognizable, the cinema photography is clean and delivered well. BUT..... The reality.... The story is terrible and boring. There's zero excitement, nothing to grasp so far that keeps you wanting more. The problem is, its centred around one location and 2-3 main characters - each episode just ends up feeling very flat. Game of Thrones has literally set such a high standard, the first series had us all hooked. If you loved GOT, you wont dislike House of The Dragon because it has GOT vibes... I hope it gets better, I really do.",5 "It is really good. Watched in 3D. Full of action. Contains a very good storyline with connection to Captain America : First Avenger.There was a time, not that long ago, when the long Memorial Day Weekend at the end of May marked the official start of the lucrative summer movie season - that time of the year when the Hollywood studios roll out the big guns for popcorn-minded moviegoers who have nothing on their minds except having a good time.Markus and McFeely also infuse the smart, clever and twist-filled screenplay - which itself is based on a landmark 2005 comic book storyline - with an infectious sense of fun, wit, confidence and heart. In addition, directors Anthony and Joe Russo move the 2 hour and 16 minute proceedings along at a steady and engaging pace that favors character development and thrilling hand-to-hand combat over mind-numbing computer-generated special effects.",8 "The first half of the season captures the ""Addams Family"" vibe very well: dark humorous, and a little offbeat. The end is transformed into a stereotypical fantasy teen drama mixed with mystery-revelation-bigger mystery ""dance"" that progressively becomes so fast-paced and over the top that I stop caring who is involved in what and why. Excellent play in the character of Wednesday though her parents fall a little flat and without much of the so-needed chemistry. The series has outstanding cinematography, nice special effects, soundtrack definitely on-point. A huge disappointment (feels like a plothole) is how a certain ill-intentioned individual is so determined to fight a ""special"" group of people without realising he is just as ""special"" himself as his enemies. These series definitely feel targeted to younger audiences.",7 "I spent 25 years of my life as an international undercover agent for the drug enforcement administration. I happen to be the author of NY Times bestseller ""deep cover"" and"" the big white lie"" - I have never seen a movie more true to what it really feels like to be submerged in that dark sick world...If you appreciate being exposed to a parallel world most know nothing about - don't miss this movie.",10 "Yet not perfect. While everyone is complementing Karl Urban for his performance in season 1, please do not forget Antony Starr's stellar performance! Even if it may seem easier at times.",7 "High budget, professional crew, great actors and exciting basic concept... and an absolute garbage plot/story/script The quality of this show is similar to that of more recent Doctor Who episodes except it makes even less sense. Actually it makes no sense at all, none of it. The first thing I noticed, Loki a half Asgardian who could easily fend off Captain America with one hand and survived a full force attack by the Hulk with no apparent injuries all of a sudden can barely stand his ground in hand to hand combat against common humans dressed in some ridiculous riot gear. Then came the rest. A story void of logic, coherence or any redeeming qualities. It's like the series Lost where the creators as they later admitted literally dragged stuff out of their butts as they went with no concept of where they were haded. Instead they kept improvising making up scenes that looked and sounded serious and deep but only as much as kids role playing in a sand box. What an absolute waste of time and opportunity. Unbelievable.",4 "While I rated Ant-Man and its sequel, along with Deadpool, well, this movie was not great. Like most movies of this genre it was just a big fight scene and scenes of people using their powers, interspersed with the glorifying of the U$ military. I would never, in a million years watch this movie again. There is more to say on this film, however. I don't like this film for the same reasons that I don't like the 2009 Star Trek movie: it just ends up being one big battle scene and you don't know what is happening or with whom, becoming extremely hard to follow. I don't mind sci-fi films or those with battles, but it needs to be something organized where you can understand what is happening rather than not, as that lessens the enjoyment of watching movies such as this. Perhaps I am also negative about this film as I generally do not like superhero movies as they seem a bit too elitist for my taste, which is why I like films like Deadpool or Deadpool 2 which lampoon this absurdity directly. I'd like to end by saying that this film will obviously be liked by many and probably did swell in the box office, so in these opinions I am likely in the minority, but that is fine as I am wholly principled about my opinions on this film.",2 "Another boring show with unlikable characters, not a single character is interesting, and those who might have been interesting died already in the first episode. The dialogues are catastrophically stupid, and it has already become hilariously predictable what the topics will be in this kind of show. The script is terrible, but talent doesn't matter anymore in the so-called film industry anyway, other things do. The main character is boring and irritating, but that doesn't matter to the writers anyway, they obviously care about other things. The show is not only not fun, it's just plain annoying, and the characters have disastrously bad dialogue. The writers forgot that the show should be fun. In new TV shows and movies, the themes are always the same, it is always clear who will be the villains and who will be the good guys. It has become irritating and causes a counter effect. It's hilarious how pretentious this show is. I gave up halfway through the second episode, there is no point in wasting time on something this bad. A complete waste of time.",1 "It seems as if many of you guys enjoyed it and thought it was funny. It seems that it just doesn't hit my humor. So as a comedy/fantasy show I'll have to give it a 0/10 for comedy. The story on the other hand was interesting, not perfect for me, but interesting. Story 8/10 Cinematography 10/10 Visual Effects 9/10 So I'll give it 6.75/10 overall. EDIT: I love how you're getting downvoted for having an opinion on IMDB :)",5 "I liked season 1, but I can't get through season 2 I was actually forcing myself. The writing is awful and annoying. Very unrealistic. Giving so much power to a psychiatrist who can just come onto any crime scene, have all the information of an investigation, and not to mention how stupid jack crawford and alana are. They let their emotions cloud their judgment so they are unable to think objectively. Its just bad very repetitive and contrived. I also think the actor playing hannibal is extremely boring. Anthony hopkins was the only interesting hannibal and the actor in MANHUNTER as well. I just don't find him intrigiuing. The writing is just blah. The first season was promising, but season 2 is not binge worthy its like pulling teeth.",5 "I wanted to wait and watch the movie online. I did n't expect the epidemic to last so long. I ca n't wait. The story itself is very simple. Knowing in sync with the protagonist, the tension increased, but I still regretted not watching it in the cinema!",7 "It's often the case that your expectations of a movie can influence your enjoyment of the movie. I generally steer clear of detailed reviews before seeing a movie, but do look at star ratings. It was clear that the critics certainly rated Lost In Translation highly and it was also the type of movie that I really enjoy, so I had very high expectations. I've got to say that I was slightly disappointed with it overall. Bill Murray plays Bob Harris who is a movie star whose best days are behind him. He's in Tokyo shooting a commercial when he befriends the recently wed Charlotte played by Scarlett Johansson. No other characters play a significant role in the movie. Whilst the acting by the two leads is excellent and the script is very good there isn't really a lot that happens during the movie. The jokes about not being able to understand what the Japanese are saying start to wear thin by the end of the movie. Overall a 7/10.",6 "Why is this steaming pile of boredom getting such good reviews? It's like Tarantino directed Seinfeld, it's a movie about NOTHING. There is zero connection to any of the characters, the portrayal of Bruce Lee is insulting, and the end, well......don't bother sticking around for it because it's a waste.",3 "13 Hours you wasted that you will never get back.Its pointless,dont watch it.It was just hyped up by people.",1 "This was a disappointment for me and my wife and I walked out of it half way through, worse when you WANT to like a film as the entire X-Men franchise and the other half, owned by Marvel, as they all comprise good, solid entertainment. Funniest thing was the first five min and then downhill from there. This is a mean, nasty film, not one character is likable and just something far from taking mind away from problems on a weekend. I know many here think this is the CITIZEN KANE of action - X - superhero films and I suppose I could see ..... nope, cannot see that viewpoint. The X-Men series dies a bad death for me. Hell, the Fox logo in the beginning did not even highlight the X for a moment or two. Wasted my money totally. Going to a bar for a solid drink.",2 "In a promotional interview Vicky Kaushal requested the audience to watch the film without any political lenses and I would ask you to do the same. However, it becomes a difficult job especially when the beginning of 2019 bring some poor propaganda to the silver screen. The film claims to be based on real events but takes some creative liberties to make it palpable and easy digest. I know very little to pin point the historical anomalies but I Dhar's passion is evident in each frame. As an audience, you will only fall in love with Mitish Mirchandani's cinematography. I film ties not to be jingoistic but trembles at times.",9 "Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone prance about the stage for two mind-numbing hours, presumably searching for some plot and characterisation. I can't even recall what the characters were called, but they may as well have just been 'Ryan' and 'Emma', for that is all they were. It was an utterly tedious, unengaging experience and devoid of any quality or substance. I gave up after an hour. Against my better judgement I watched the rest the next day. However, I may as well have been watching Shark Attack 7 or some nonsense like that, for I just could not be bothered even looking at the TV. The singing and dancing did little for me, with two leads not very adept at either. I derived absolutely nothing from this entirely vacuous experience. I really do not understand what the point of this was. 1/10",1 "This is a bad imitation of life is beautiful in the style of Wes Anderson. The director is a very able person that's obvious. The film is shot well, but the story has simply no idea about the subjects it is touching. And it's really irritating to see it crushing under.",3 "Seriously. Venom. Carnage. Need to be a litte more graphic. Maybe Sony and Disney/MCU want to keep this all PG-13. But still. You have villainous characters that people who read the comics want to see on film. Sure they have ""Across the Universe."" A sequel to a superb initial way of what Sony has. But think about the back and forth. Yeah. Spiderman is superior when Disney/MCU came out when Sony let them have a go. But Sony has rights. Willing to work with MCU/Disney. All of a sudden. Blockbuster hits. In two movies. A third is coming allowing a lot of cooperation between the two. Which is gonna kill. On a point. Spiderman into the spiderverse ruled. But the sequel across the universe will be cool I hope too bc miles morales. Sony should stop and negotiate keeping rights limited within reason their animated movie that killed. I anticipate that spiderman will be fought between universes. What I think is sony should leave spiderman to the mcu where they have a lot of persons to see it through the right way. Seen too say other studios mess up the way it should be shown. By studios not trusting what they do bc of their means. Give it to where marvel and disney are making it in ways where we watch other movie studio renditions. And they have and a bunch of them sucked. To where a fan of marvel. And DC. They get the right creative control. They make a good movie without studios messing it up.",8 "Its not groundbreaking from any standpoint, one might say its your usual politically correct Netflix superhero mashup wrap-up shawarma kebab vegan smoothie that's hip and hop in today's world. It kills your time if that's what your looking for. It has some original potential glimpse, maybe other studios might pick up on them and actually do something great.",7 "The boys is a fantastic show which ruins any feeling of superhero fatigue you may be feeling. Every character is deeply explored and you always feel like a wacky thing could happen in the next scene, or something you could never expect to see. Although it does drag through with some less favourable episodes and moments which pull down the momentum, it keeps up the pace consistently and has yet to have an episode below good. The powers are unique and creative and aren't used in stupidly silly ways and instead in ways which someone would actually do if they had those powers. And Anthony Star deserves an Oscar. A must watch for any fan of superhero movies and beyond!",9 A totally flop movie. No story no script.. instead after 10 mins I played ludo with my family. It was more entertaining,1 "It felt very off. Pace was bad with a lot of time wasted. Main villain was extremely lame. Action scenes were below mediocre. Jokes were flat. Acting in general was very wrong, weird and fake. Tom Hardy kind of carried this thing, but he felt too good for this role. I blame it all on bad directing, bad script and extremely bad editing. P.S.: I never heard any ""critics"" before watching this movie and I really dont understant all those 10/10 ""ignore critics!"" reviews. This movie was just not good.",2 "The most awaited movie of the year, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is the story of one of the greatest athlete India has ever had. A story of achievement & disappointment, milestones & nightmares, passion & apathy. Most importantly a story of grit & determination and the struggle to achieve success besides all odds. To describe or write about a movie of this stature one cannot find enough words to express oneself. But, I will definitely try and summarize it from the heart on the different levels the movie worked for me. I came out pretty impressed with the way Rakeyesh Omprakash Mehra has managed to depict the life of ""Flying Sikh"" in a movie slightly over 3 hours and NO, I did not get bored at any time in the movie. The script demanded the detail and though some sequences definitely match upto speed of the man on whom the movie is made, the rest of the film jogs along just fine. The race sequences have been shot very well and the climax is enduring and keeps you on the edge though most of us already knew the outcome. A true account of the life of Milkha Singh, the movie starts with him loosing the legendary 1960 Rome Olympic race and flashes back to his life tracing the journey from his child hood (born in the undivided India now Pakistan) to the great athlete he ultimately becomes making India proud. The various times in his life are brilliantly interwoven into the plot from the time he lands up in Delhi as a refugee from Pakistan to taking up the life of crime and then moving onto the Indian Army which ultimately changes his life. The sequences where the natural athlete in him is discovered by a Services coach and his ambition to wear the Indian sports contingent blazer are emotional yet inspiring. Full marks to Rakeyesh Omprakash Mehra for using his signature style of inter-weaving flash backs with the present to tell a story which is not only inspiring but emotional to the core. He has been able to effectively depict how necessity drives a man to ambition and that ambition converts to passion. Mr. Mehra will make you fall in love with Milkha Singh and you'll end up wondering why you never read or heard about this awesome man. Farhan Akhtar has been the best at whatever he does besides acting, including directing & singing, but I am sure he would also be contemplating that this is his best performance till date. There was no Farhan Akhtar in the movie, you could only see Milkha Singh in the movie. He became one with the character that one could not differentiate between the two. His rigorous training sessions to acquire the lean body of the athlete definitely shown in the movie and his dedication matched that of the original Milkha Singh. Some sequences have of course been dramatized for the movie effect but Farhan makes them look so believable, you end up disputing the fact that they actually happened. The part where he tells his coach that he will wear the Indian team blazer one day has makes you want to do the same. Farhan's look is as close to the real Milkha one could get. The original athlete's nuances, the running style and the inner turmoil which he went through has been picked up closest to the original and though it has already been said countless times, no one could have done a better job of portraying this character. Only 2 actors that can be mentioned in the same breath as him are Divya Dutta and Pawan Malhotra. Divya Dutta as Milkha Singh's elder sister, the one who looked after him after his parents were killed, gives a powerful emotional performance and ups the emotional quotient of the movie manifold. Every time she comes on screen you can't help but cry even when she doesn't say much. Pawan Malhotra who has proved himself time and again as an actor, once again proves as Milkha Singh's coach that there no a better actor than him when it comes to supporting roles. The large than life character and the actual influence this coach had on Milkha's life is portrayed by flawless ease and his comprehension of the character adds another dimension to Milkha's character. The young Milkha Singh portrayal by young Master Jabtej Singh is equally brilliant and the intensity the kid showed as the young Sikh makes him a deserving for future accolades. Yograj Singh (cricketer Yuvraj Singh's father) as Milkha's coach Ranvir Singh and Prakash Raj (finally he gets a break from playing baddie in Cop movies) as his unit's commanding officer support the lead character well. Sonam Kapoor as Milkha's love interest gets the best composed scenes, and though she does not have much to say in the movie, she delivers an effective understated performance. Rebecca Breeds from Australia in her first Indian movie gives a pleasant and light performance in the otherwise intense movie. Music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, forms an integral part of the movie. The title track ""Zinda"" is something you'd come humming out of the theatre. My favorites were the Army barrack song ""Havan Karnege"" and the ""Slow motion Angreza"" shot in an Australian pub. The music is easy on the ears and difficult to forget. Milkha Singh ran for our country for long and has been remembered for time immemorial. A rare sports person and you can read about him all over the internet. This movie does complete justice to his biopic, both as a sportsman struggle and symbolically conveying that life's struggles don't have a finish line. The movie takes Indian cinema to another level and though there will be many more to come this year, my nomination for the Oscars is definitely Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Irrespective of your preferences this is a must watch for all Indians.",9 "Episodes 1-5 (ish) just fall flat on their face, it's so hard to have any real interest in the characters as they're built up so poorly and quite honestly, are just plain annoying almost all of the time. Plus it seems they ran out of budget when it came to lighting, as it's almost exclusively filmed in the dark, which doesn't help. From episode 6 onwards the series completely changes. They really find their direction, stop wildly throwing the story about and build genuinely likeable characters. Then season 2 is excellent throughout. It really is worth grinding through the first few episodes.",7 "I believe I'm not objective this time. I saw this movie few times, three I think, and it simply does not touch me at all. I didn't notice any holes or illogicalities in the story, everything runs smooth, every scene is polished to perfection, special effects are excellent and Tobey and Kirsten have sparkling chemistry. I should rate it at least nine, but I simply can't. Movie feels like seven and, although I can't support it with arguments, I simply can not give it more than that. In my opinion, Spider-Man is the most boring superhero I have ever encountered with. 7/10",7 "Harry Potter. How popular is this character? He's become a person, whom, the entire world knows, and to a large extend, adores. I am not a Harry Potter buff, but, I can't deny that it's concept and the world Potter lives in and the powers he and his people are blessed with, are truly innovative. 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - 1', which is basically the last part, is now made into two parts cinematically, so that the magic waves for another cinematic experience. However, this Part 1, isn't really the most entertaining Potter film to date. 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - 1' begins well, and the battle between the good versus the evil gets more intact, in fact, more violent. As I have not read the book, I have no idea how Rowling plans to end the story, however, this section of the final book is not really nerve biting. One more aspect that goes against this any-way successful film, is it's painfully long running time, which is over a 145-minutes. The film could have easily done away at least by 15-20 minutes. What stands tall in this Potter flick, is it's breath-taking Cinematography by Eduardo Serra. The lens-man captures the exotic locales with remarkable framing and execution. David Yates direction is passable. In the acting front, Daniel Radcliffe continues to be Harry Potter, and shines, yet again. Emma Watson as Hermione and Rupert Grint as Ron are efficient. Among the other list of supporting actors, Helena Bonham Carter leaves the strongest impression. On the whole, As my Summary Says in Caps, for Potter Buffs, Only! I didn't really enjoy this one, but buffs will!",4 The series is overall good but their is no proper ending of it... the conclusion of the episode is not clear. It feels like incomplete.,6 "Visually it's stunning, absolutely stunning but it's so dull. Long long lingering close up shots of Sandra Bullock panicking for what seems eternal. I turned it off after 15 mins, can't watch another 90 mins of this.",1 "Chernobyl is a fantastic TV miniseries that studies the Chernobyl disaster and its aftermath in a gritty, realistic approach that elevates the feel and emotion of the people who would be affected by the disaster in real-life. The atmosphere of the show is top notch thanks to the way it is shot with awesome cinematography and the haunting musical score that perfectly illustrates what it was like to be living in a post-disaster environment. There's top notch acting from everyone, as well as gripping storylines following people and tasks to solve that can be quite nerve-wracking. Knowing almost all of it actually happened makes it so poignant. I cannot praise this show enough already. It's only 5 episodes long but every episode brings something different to the table. I've heard people complain about all of the actors speaking in British accents. I admit it's a bit weird at first, but you get used to it and can look past it as the rest of the show is so great that it's just being nitpicky. Overall, Chernobyl gives you an excellent view of what happened during the disaster and by the end of the journey, you'll be emotionally gripped and upset that the ride is over. I'd suggest you spend an entire day to binge-watch the experience. It's definitely one you won't forget and will not regret watching! 9/10",9 "I've been waiting for this movie since the past 2 months. I had gone to see another movie around 2 months back and there was a poster of Dev. D. It starred Abhay Deol. From that moment, I knew this movie is gonna be one of a kind. It takes place in the modern era. The instances shown in the movie are very life-like. The story deals with a loser ( Abhay Deol ) and how he deals with his life. Its like a modern rip-off from Devdas. Everything about this movie is top notch. Right from the direction to the sets, its stunning. The screenplay is impeccable & the cinematography couldn't get better. The visuals are delightful. The music score is exceptional. Even though it is a slow movie, the pace seems very fast. The editing also is so well done. The dialogues are perfect, used in a really vulgar tone. The story is set in & around Delhi. The locations shown are ideal. I really don't remember the last time I had seen such a good bollywood movie. But this flick is not one that will please all audiences. Only connoisseurs of movies will respect & admire this class act. Hats off to Anurag Kashyap. Legend.",10 "The movie it has no good dialogue, actings are terrible, it's just some random acion scenes, some people's do stupid action, And it's obvious they are in green curtain. Don't expect a good movie just watch it to past time.",5 Another great follow up. Anything with Tom Hardy is always a winner for me. This is not a let down and I loved it. Love the banter between them. Cracking film cheers guys.,10 "My god are superheroes becoming one sided and formulaic. Ryan Coogler seems to be good at recycling the most typical structure of a marvel superhero movie because he really missed a huge opportunity to make a good fun action packed flick. What we got instead was a boring, typical, overly technological and overly political deus ex machina fest of an attempt to make a marvel movie. Boring characters plague this movie. The main character played by Boseman is really really boring and his ""son of a king"" arc can be found in any other similar character. Its really boring to see. Michael Jordan is the exaggerated villain who is bad cause being bad is bad and he is bad and revenge and badness. We really shouldn't judge a movie based on how much we agree with its politics. Any movie that should not be political that is lowers the quality of its own story by pandering to one particular mindset. The cgi was at times too much and too bad for its own good. Technology is used very cheaply to get characters we are supposed to love out of sticky, impossible to survive situations and its really pathetic. Typical, boring and overly political for a superhero movie 4/10",4 "Ummm ok I like this show but at times it really gets on my nerves. The new season drastically drops off from is predecessors, adding new annoying characters (except Sloane) and a repetitive arc that centres primarily around a hotel lobby, making scenes repetitive and thoughtless. I didn't hate this season but i certainly did NOT love it.",6 Too much stretched that all fun developed by the suspense was gone. But still it's a simple and okay movie.,6 "If this film had been directed by anyone else, it's rating would be far lower and nobody would be raving about it the way they are here. The Irishman is an interesting piece of history, but as a film this thing is pretty slow. 3.5 hours is a long, long time to watch these events unfold. Scorsese did it in his signature way, but there's no way in hell I would rewatch this the way I would Goodfellas, Casino, or The Departed.",5 "I really wanted to like this show I really did; mostly because the premise seemed promising for it to be a good show, not to mention, that it included Nicole Kidman. However, I found myself constantly asking questions that were left unanswered? Why is she taking a bath here and passing that place with brooms? Is that where Gus is? Now that Mercy is pregnant will Hilary confront her? Where is this leading? That's how you feel watching this show. At every turn you find yourself asking a lot of questions yet you keep watching and hoping that maybe at some point you will get that aha moment, that maybe it will all tie together, that at some point there will be some redemption, but no. No my friends that is not so. Unfortunately we are left with messy dialogues, scenes that I could film in a kitchen, and characters who have no purpose but to be unlikable. Nobody has a wise or smart thing to say. No one has depth. All you're watching is a documentary about Hong Kong. That's it, with every scene and emotion disconnected from the next with wildly predictable moments and house chores.",3 "The bad news is that NASA has to effect a high risk rescue of an astronaut from Mars. The even worse news is that this process will take dang near two and a half hours real time and it involves enduring Matt Damon. This has got to be one of the most tedious movies of the 21st century as Damon, playing space cadet Mark Watney, mugs and cracks wise in a seemingly interminable proto-propaganda bureaucracy department feature. Damon is developing a specialty for quasi-governmental roles what with the Bourne stuff, Confessions of a D M, Saving Private Ryan, Syriana, The Good Shepherd et al. The premise of an outer space rescue that takes this long means it can only end successfully,thus quashing the only sliver of suspense that may have existed in the first place. In contrast to Damon for the most part, Ridley Scott at least used to regularly make good movies, but has now apparently joined the pasteurized cheese by-product posse. The disco soundtrack is roundly criticized by the cast throughout the flick yet that's all you're gonna get so apparently the producers wanted to have their cake and eat it too. Jeff Daniels reads his lines authoritatively while Kristen Wiig is little more than a statue, propped up next to the lectern, implying that women are not quite ready to issue NASA p/r convincingly. High production values, solid special effects ( even if technically inaccurate ) and an exciting final ten minutes or so can't keep this slab of cosmic detritus from deserving to be lost in space.",4 I don't know what the makers were thinking when they decided to go with this mess. I'm a big MCU fan but this is truly awful. What a waste of time I'll never get back,8 "This homage to Agatha Christie is Rian Johnson's first film since ""Star Wars: The Last Jedi"" (the only other one of his films I have seen, which I thought was alright but not great.) I love Agatha Christie as well as the cast of this film, and was looking forward to an entertaining and darkly hilarious homage to classic murder mysteries. While the film has some laughs and moments of sharp writing that make it a somewhat entertaining diversion, it unfortunately feels less than the sum of its parts. The initial setup is simple: a popular and acclaimed crime novelist is found dead, with a slit throat, right after celebrating his 85th birthday in his mansion. From there, anyone related to him could possibly be a suspect. The film's first act is really strong, with great production design of the Thrombley family mansion, a good score and clever use of musical cues, sufficient character development, and some snappy and well-paced writing. After that, though, things start to get rather uneven and anti-climactic. The acting is generally good, although none of the characters get much of a range. While there are pockets here and there of good dialogue, the film's numerous attempts at political and social satire feel very hollow and forced. There are a few recurring juvenile gags that get annoying after a while as well. Parts of the film are quite entertaining for sure, but overall I'm not certain how well it holds up in its entirety or whether it really lives up to the rave reviews it has received. 6/10",6 "This type of British humor was groundbreaking in the 1970's with Monty Python, but feels dated and tiresome now. The acting is too hammy and the series (I admit I gave up on 3rd episode) would have been better if played straight. A fun plot was hidden deep under the layers of corny overacting.",3 "GRADE: C- THIS FILM IS NOT RECOMMENDED. IN BRIEF: Except for a strong performance by Jennifer Lawrence, this is one of the worst spy films ever. JIM'S REVIEW: Did any of you moviegoers out there happen to see last year's espionage thriller, Atomic Blonde? It told the story of a seductive female spy using her martial skills and sexuality as a lethal weapon to combat enemy agents. At least, that film was high energy and stylishly filmed. Red Sparrow follows that same not-so-secret formula, with more talk violence, and sex to tell its predictable story. Perhaps a better alias might have been Code Name: Anemic Blonde, as this film version may follow the same course of events, but it's a real yawn-fest. You know, the standard double crosses and fight sequences are intact and expected in this genre. The story goes something like this: Dominika Egorova, a premier ballerina for the Kirov Ballet, is unexpectedly forced to change jobs in order to support her ailing mother. (Are there any other types in Russia?) Dom is blackmailed to become a master spy by her evil Uncle Vanya (no relation to Chekov, although it could have used his creative talents). So it's off to Sparrow School or ""whore school"" for some in-depth training . Our little minx is taught how to be a successful spy in seven easy lessons that include sexual humiliation, rape, and violent charades. The film meanders and takes its time indoctrinating our heroine with the art of the spy prior to her mission as she is trained to use her body a tad more than her mind. After graduating the top in her class (or bottom, she's not fussy, the state owns her body now), Dom is send by the KGB to go on a mission to seduce a CIA agent and assess some sort of file...who knows, who cares. There are so many double crosses, amid violent scenes of gore and torture, that the film loses any shred of credibility. Red Sparrow does boast a fine performance by Jennifer Lawrence. She uses her Natasha Fatale accent quite well and makes a convincing anti-hero, even if the Tonya Harding bangs are a bit much. Too bad the actress is written as a mere sexual toy by Justin Haythe who is more interested in creating clever ways to depict gratuitous nudity (mostly Ms. Lawrence and some refreshing male frontal shots) and shocking violence in its frequent torture scenes to tell its tale. Oh, the mission...something about finding a mole. The plot grew very confusing and more convoluted as the film progressed. All the sinister talk and pointless exposition was tedious and under developed. By the midpoint of the movie, in my mind, this spy's license to kill was revoked and reissued as a license to bore. The sluggish script introduces some sketchy stock characters, then they disappear, only to return later for no apparent reason. Their motives made no sense and their allegiances shifted throughout the movie as par for the course in these espionage thrillers. The jerky story structure goes global from one scenic European city to the next with occasional stops in Russia, but everything seemed off kilter as did some anachronistic props that had this reviewer questioning the time period of the story at one point (floppy discs?) Francis Lawrence (no relation to Ms. Lawrence, although it could have used her creative talents) does a sub-par job at directing, building no suspense at all. To keep the moviegoing audience awake, he throws in location sights to add authenticity while objectifying Ms. Lawrence in every conceivable nude scene in the most voyeuristic way. He also prolongs the torture sequences with a graphic glee. It is a exploitive cinematic step backwards. Except for Ms. Lawrence, the acting was disappointing, especially coming from a talented cast that included: Charlotte Rampling, Mary-Louise Parker, Claran Hinds, Bill Camp, Douglas Hodge, and Jeremy Irons. Matthias Schoenaerts is the villainous uncle and he overplays the part. No animals may have been killed in the making of this movie, but the Russian accents were certainly mangled. Except for Ms. Lawrence's consistent diction, nothing else was remotely believable. Joel Edgerton is Dominika's love interest, Nate Nash, a perfect name for a comic book superhero, but merely unintentionally comic as played by this usually reliable actor. The chemistry between Ms. Lawrence and a miscast charmless Mr. Eggerton is non-existent. Red Sparrow is for the birds.",4 "I'll try to keep this brief. While the ""reasons"" are over-dramatized, it does what it set out to do. Open a dialogue between parents & their children. These issues are nothing new sadly and have gotten exponentially worse since most schools take the ""sweep it under the rug"" approach as to not ""tarnish"" their reputation (especially if it's a private school...public schools do this too though regardless of the area). Not to mention, most parents these days have to have multiple jobs to be able to keep up so there are many times kids these days are dealing with absentee parents. One thing I've noticed is going after Hannah for what she did. Yes, in the physical sense, she made the decision to end her life. However, what lead her to that decision was the fact that she literally felt it was the only solution. I've actually still deal with depression and these thoughts every single day. You feel like no one understands and it's the only way to end your pain. Honestly, if I didn't have my kids nor loving wife, I wouldn't be typing this.",8 Beats the first movie. I loved it a lot. Hope to see what they do in the future with venom!!!,10 "This is an odd movie. The plot never really seems to gain traction. It's one typical moment after another with the climax at the end that doesn't resolve anything. I've seen many Spielberg movies and the plots seem to make sense. Things happen in the movie and never actually are summed up as to how they happened. The cinematography and visuals are spot on and era consistent. It is very well shot. As are all Spielberg movies. It's as if this movie is some sort of a biography that contains stories we've all seen, heard and quite honestly this film brings nothing new. I do not feel as if I wasted my time, as the movie does have its entertaining moments. Just imagine a young Jewish boy growing up in America in the 50's with a mildly odd mother, a father who is engrossed in his work and a penchant for making films. That's the whole movie. Cut.",4 "Below Average movie. High ratings are for people that thought that Adam did a good job acting, rather than being funny, not for the simplistic movie it was. Poor simple story line.",5 This movie has no character development at all people are just dying and you don't feel anything heck i don't even remember the main characters name and i saw the movie yesterday. People are just overreacting over a Nolan movie i started sleeping in the end. showing different perspective of characters was unnecessary and i saw the same scene again and again and sometimes knew what was going to happen to the character,1 "If I were someone who had no clue what The Witcher was from the books and the games and watched this show, I would like it. But, as a fan of the books and an even bigger fan of the games I was sorely dissapointed. Firstly, Henry Cavill is not to blame as he plays the part of Geralt perfectly, but the rest of the cast was very lackluster. The main issue I had were Triss and Yennefer whom I loved in the game but in the TV series they were an utter disappointment due to the casting and the dialogues. I do not believe that the writers of the series truly understand what it is that makes The Witcher such a masterpiece and thus they have ruined my experience of The Witcher.",5 "Hard to concentrate on the story when the London accent is so strong. I've seen a lot of positive feedback, probably sponsored, but the truth is that ""House of Dragon"" is weak and boring. It would've been nice to have American accents as they are more soft and not so evidently British, which makes the whole show a parody of itself. Not even the fast blood makes the show interesting or entertaining. This is another great example of how HBO tries to extend the success of a franchise until the infinity and far beyond, and with hilarious consequences! Mainly the contemporary English voices makes it fake & cheap!",1 I throughly enjoyed the first episode of this reboot. I don't understand the negative reviews that it is getting. I give it a firm 7 out of ten because it's not perfect but if your looking for a entertainment and a nostalgic trip down memory lane than give this go. I personally am a huge fan of the robot and the new Dr Smith. Do Not believe the hate it is getting check it out for yourself,8 "Well, as a ""film buff"", I've set out to watch anything and everything. And, after hearing a ton of hype for Fargo, I decided to give it a try. Now, the first half of the movie was actually pretty interesting. William H. Macy's character is one that is convincing, and is the kind of character that you just love to hate. His character is interesting, and I was getting invested. But, then the movie makes a big misstep in my opinion. That is, making Marge Gunderson the main character of this movie.I don't like this character at all. I think the performance is stiff, lifeless and her character is just so annoying. I expected this movie to be kind of similar to A Clockwork Orange, that being that even though this man is a criminal and kind of vicious, you still want to see him succeed. But, Marge is not interesting. There is zero development for her, and I don't care about her. Now, there is a lot said about the dark humor in this movie. I hear people saying that you don't know whether to humored or shocked by this movie. Well, outside of the scene where Marge is talking to the prostitutes, nothing was really humorous, and nothing in this movie was shocking. I dunno. I was born after this movie came out, so maybe it was shocking at the time, but nowadays, this is actually pretty tame. Actually, no! There was no way this was shocking to anyone even then because movies like A clockwork Orange and Reservoir Dogs had already come out by then! Look, this film does have some good performances, and the cinematography is decent, but I really can't see myself watching it more than the 2 times I already have! By no means a bad movie, and if you like it, that's fine, but i just didn't get the appeal of it.",4 "It starts off promising you think and hope, the second act is decent and then as it unfolds it really didn't do anything great or worth the wait. Mostly predictable and poorly written. I feel as tho a school aged child could've come up with something more clever to finish the movie. Don't get trapped and tricked into wasting your time. I liked some of the characters or at least the actors that portray them but even they seemed flat and cookie cutter. There are some decent parts and aspects of the movie but in the end you are coming for the clever story and plot twists and to have something happen that you didn't see coming and that's what it's missing.",2 "I mean, for me it was a nice movie but no more than that. The acting was very good although none of the charaters were very complex or different than the usual. This is a very easy movie to watch, you can watch it with your family on a saturday afternoon, except for the part where some hanged bodies appear in cranes. 6.5/10",6 "Tvf Pitchers is going to be remembered as cult TV series.There is so many reasons, first of all the cast and direction was amazing. I mean if u watch this you will definitely end of having a huge crush on this this. This is really awesome TV series. Currently in my opinion there is no other TV series in India having content wise so rich as Pitchers. This is for a must watch for who keep complaining that Indian TV series as bullshit and all that. By watching this show one can easily realize what i am trying to say. This gives an appropriate and befitting reply to Hollywood Junta who keep complaining. Coming to story, it is so content rich and true to the situation that you cant imagine till now at least in India. It was wisely written,nurtured and developed that you feel like why this not come earlier. And believe me if u opt for single episode you will end up by watching all the 5 episodes in one sitting. That is the charm of this show. GREAT SHOW IN Indian TELEVISION HISTORY. IT CAME AS A BLESSING FOR YOUNGSTER LIKE US WHO ARE REALLY FOND OF SOME CREATIVE SHOW LIKE PITCHERS. HATS-OFF TO WHOLE CAST AND CREW. WELL DONE..",9 "I watched about half of the movie, and I couldn't get into it. Like most of Christopher Nolan's movies, a lot of attention is given to sound mixing and special effects, but very little attention is given to developing characters that make me care about their plight. The soldiers in this movie are so oddly cold, and void of any authentic human emotion. Very typical for Christopher Nolan. But it was the story, or lack thereof, that just drove me away.",6 "This show was a masterpiece in that it was a visual visual art form with quite unexpected writing and plot twists. The acting was superb and the story was extremely disturbing and sophisticated. Opinions are just that, opinions; and if one looks at the content of this series and bases their opinion of the execution of story and production value on the fact that a reviewer hates gruesome violence and serial killers, they're not going to ""get"" this show, at all. Everything about this series should be viewed as an art form and at the same time commentary of our Society. it's quite profound and deep. To understand the genius of this series better one must read the brilliant review of the series by Emily Nussbaum in The New Yorker.",10 I need it this is the best thing i saw in my life wow! I love it but am waiting the The Legend of Korra to be on Netflix,10 "Then after watching the third episode, I dont care for this show at all. Not sure what I was really watching.",4 Sometimes a movie comes along that truly makes you think. And it's in this film that you are thinking of what life was like for our fellow African Americans in those primitive times. ...,2 "The movie make me a SRK fan,iam sure that he is just living than actingg. What a dedication. Even each frame he doing well.",9 "very, very, very lazy movie. 10 word storyline. no imagination. no acting. no attempt to build character. steals sound-bites and snapshots with abandon from many other space/sci-fi movies, not as homage, but because they couldn't think of anything original or different to the same old stuff - a cut and paste of 50 years of space without any context. minimal it is, but minimalist it is not. the pretence of reality totally dispels any illusion of sci-fi or reality. there is sadly nothing positive here and yet another Hollywood computer cranked big budget flop in all respects, save box-office. it seems to me the intent by the producers is to prepare audiences for even worse to come. if you lose the odd bit of swearing in the first 15 minutes or so it plays OK for the under 9s, but even for this age group there are so many more films that inspire imagination and wonder. Oscars........? ........more like Emperor's new clothes.",2 "Sorry, but with billion dollars on hands I'd probably do a better and decent movie than this sh!t that was made! And the worst part is that this thing called movie was nominated ""The best marvel studio movie ever made since"" Like what?! Seriously, you can fall sleep while watching this. It's not interesting, It's not worth watching, It's not good, It looks like a copy of BVS - REALLY! - Anyway, go to the movies if u want to and see for yourself. Just warning and putting up my point of view. I do not hate Marvel , but this movie was overrated and not everything they say when watched with a real critical eye , not biased.",1 "I was really excited to see this movie when I saw it was in the making a year ago. Even more so when the trailer released, I loved the 2001 Space Odyssey reference. When it finally came out, and started to hear the reviews, the excitement slowly went away to the point I didn't watch in the theater, but waited to stream it at home. I finally watched it and the critiques were not wrong. It is so incredibly in your face, preachy and just plain unengaging. I didn't care for a single character. It is very obvious what they were going for, with the whole existentialist premise, but the dialogues were as deep and emotional as a tumblr post(When that was a thing) There were very specific parts I enjoyed, but overall, it was not a good or lasting movie experience. The set pieces in Barbieland were gorgeous, the costumes too, and the last scene with Ruth Handler was really nice, loved the light effects and the use of the Billie Eilish song, it would have been a very emotionally powerful scene had there been a better movie before it. However, I appreciate the fact that in the end it doesn't pick a ''side'', but rather gives the message that men and women need each other, and that a matriarchy or a patriarchy is not the ideal world they think it is in the beginning.",5 "I really hoped it would be a good movie, but unfortunately the plot is so YAAAWN. It's almost like Marvel thought 'Hmmm, actually we should cover content for every target group, so let's make the Ant-Man series for families, so parents can watch it with their kids.' And that's exactly what this movie feels like. Plot no depth, humor for kids. It tells A LOT if the post credit scene is the best part of the movie. If you are 'a fan' or just watch all of the MCU movies, 'Ant-Man And The Wasp' is probably the most skippable one. You are fine if you ONLY watch the post credit scene if you plan to watch future movies in the timeline and don't want to miss the gist of this one.",3 "All the points to look out for, are on point. Above average I would say. Only problem I see with this show, is that, there were some situations that could've been use to enrich the show, but for some reason they were left out. For what the story and plot comes to, I would say that, 6 episodes was enough. On the show, the 6th episode was kinda like a filler, it didnt give us anything but just simply doubling down of what the main character struggle was with her addictions. I would give this show a real or final 7.6. Probably an 8, but I dont think the show is there.",7 "I grew up with the original Addams Family. Loved it. Loved the cast. Also liked the first of the movies. Wednesday was, of course, a second tier character because Gomez and Morticia were the stars. So it was a clever idea to build a new series around her - a mystery series with good characters and black humour. I worked out early that this was a sort of variation of Harry Potter, and instead of a wizarding school we had a school for outcasts. I personally much preferred this over Harry Potter. We don't see much of Gomez and Morticia, which is fine - Zeta-Jones is good as Morticia but Luis Guzman lacks the looks and charm to be a credible Gomez. Jenna Ortega, though, is brilliant as Wednesday. A really excellent performance. Emma Myers and the rest of her fellow students were generally very good, and Christina Ricci did nicely in her role - and a nice bit of casting to include a former Wednesday. Overall, well worth watching and I look forward to the second series.",8 "Some of the worst editing i have ever seen on film. The green car scratched unscratched scratched unscratched, bullet holes, no bullet holes, bullet holes, no bullet holes, dents, no dents, dents, no dents. Spoilt what would have been an awesome opening sequence. On to the rest of the movie. Lets see what more terrible editing awaits .......",7 Well written movie. Amazing first half. Second half is very nice. Climax was good but felt a bit typical. Ashok Selvan and Sarath Kumar sir combination was fresh and the first half subtle comedy via dialogs was gave a good start to the movie. The music was also very nice. If you liked Ratchasan this is a must watch. The antagonist backstory was well taught out but the portrayal was not that great in my humble opinion. Very good cinematography. In Crime/Detective/Serieal Killer genre we get outstanding movies very rarely. This is one of the must watch in the genres mentioned. Kudos to the director Vignesh Raja to have made such a good debut feature film.,9 "The Godfather, Superman, Evil Dead. There are textbook answers to the question of sequels that are better than the original. The sequel of The Godfather, though, is a very different project to the first, engaging in something so unfathomably far-reaching and ambitious, a story of such epic proportions, that if it had gone wrong, it would have gone WRONG. Instead, we have a rolling, multi-dimensional, poly-era masterpiece. We must not compare the two as it does not make the prequel any less formidable (as is often the case with a successful sequel) but it is worthy of standing alone but also being recognised as part of the saga. A rare position and a lucky one but it seems to rather deserve it. In the first review, tribute was paid to those who claim to not like the first film. Tribute in the form of contemptuous scorn and disrespectful suspicion. Here it will be the same. Once again if someone says it is too much for them, or they like simpler films, or have a problem with the violence, etc and do not like it for those reasons, this is perfectly fine. However, any folk saying it is just not any good are not being honest with themselves. It is a spellbinding triumph of incalculable dimensions with timeless honourable merit and standard-bearing assumed by its creators. So, if this is you, get some therapy, and another film review. You do not belong here. For the rest of you, let us begin. Very differently we begin in Corleone, Sicily. We learn of the brutal instances that cause Vito to leave, alone and orphaned on a strange vessel, marked for death by a Mafia chieftain, headed for the New World. As he lands on what would become Ellis island, we see an understated but vital scene. Young Vito, a mute and barely eight years old walks in front of a crowd of fellow immigrants all staring at the Statue of Liberty. Vito also looks, but unlike his fellow boat-people, he is walking forward while looking up to the symbol of America while everyone around him stands still. The analogy does not take much figuring out. Smallpox quarantined, alone, and scared, for the first time, in his small single room with a table and a bed, we hear his voice as he sings to himself. Time leaps to his grandson, Anthony, many years later in Tahoe, Nevada, at the same age. The rise of the family under Michael (Al Pacino) has moved into politics, a naive senator tries to strong-arm. An entertaining piece. A series of events leads to a violent head, Michael leaves to find out who betrayed them and nearly cost him his life. Temporarily the illegitimate German-Irish lawyer and Michaels assumed brother, Tom Hagen is at the helm after being stepped-over in the first movie's climax. Things take hold in Cuba, in a story meant to mirror that of a true Mafia event, The character of Hyman Roth, played by acting legend Lee Strasberg is painfully obvious in its basis upon famous Jewish mobster Meyer Lansky. A capable but mute bodyguard accompanies Michael everywhere as he weaves around finding out who betrayed them, who paid them too, and how to come out on top in both the long term and in the Cuban deal As happened in real life, history decides the latter as Cuba collapses under Bautista as Fidel Castro takes power and throws the Mafia out., The traitor is revealed and Michael must act, but how he acts will be determined by actions he must control. Back home a wronged subordinate, manipulated by Michael's enemies, turns government witness to a senate committee (once again drawing from an event of recent history). Michael must also outwit the US Senate, treachery is everywhere and duplicity is lurking. Michael uses his wit and cunning with typical aplomb to outwit and crush his enemies at a cost of maybe losing his family. His main betrayal coming from a source that troubles him for the rest of is life. He remains at the top and yet it is at a terrible cost. As all this happens, the second unit story evolves. Young Vito played in breathless mystery by a spellbinding pre-embarrassment Robert DeNiro in post-WWI New York. For you young-'uns who see Bad Grandpa, Meet the Fockers, and Joker, you may wonder why he is so revered, and it is a good question. The answer, is probably more than anywhere else, evident here. A young Vito, a grocery boy, is made unemployed by a Black-Hand (a particularly ferocious offshoot of the mafia) operatives and thus christened into the crime world by that often-occurring phenom in these movies, the life-changing chance encounter. This time is with a jolly but lethal neighbourhood tough called Clemenza. From here he rises, using his quiet viper-like strength and ability to listen and not react. He rises to the top of New York and returns to his home of Sicily to repay those who forced him out. If anyone has not seen it, they should check the deleted scenes on YouTube for a more detailed explanation. The two parallels play together perfectly. The rolling camerawork of following young Vito across the rooftops of Little Italy as he pursues his quarry, interspersed with pyrotechnics and scenery from the Saint Genarro festival is something to behold. It shows that panoramic shots do not need to have half of Montana in the background and can even be poorly lit. All of the scenes of this section are dim and rather dusky and shot at close quarters. This is to express the claustrophobic nature of railway cold-water flats and tenement rows in early 20th-century New York. Somehow though, it has an epic feel too. In fairness, the cinematography of part II is way superior to the first installment, but that is possibly the way it is meant to be. The way a young colt of an experienced stud racehorse will have speed and strength its parents didn't, but all are remembered as fondly. A lot more happens in this installment. As mentioned, Cuba falls. Then the act of betrayal at Michael's home is far beyond anything seen before, and the brutal slaying of an innocent prostitute simply to aid a blackmail case by the fearsome Al Neri (Richard Bright) is an act far beyond the romanticised broad-Brooklynese movie-star, ferret-faced behatted mobsters of the first film. One of the moral criticisms is that it glorified the Mafia (a word never uttered in the film) and it led to a backlash against this romanticised image of mobsters only killing other killers and raining gold on the innocent. You certainly do not feel this way at the end of part 2 It is full of crescendo-like scenes. The music of Nino Rota is used to explain for those looking away. The camerawork is ambitious, for example, a scene in a courtroom where Michael uses a defendant's brother to silence him, is often praised, but I have always found it clunky and out of pace. I think trying for too many cuts and bustling tension is a bridge too far in a movie that is all about subtlety. For example, Connie wants the children to leave the room, they ignore her, although they are so very young, just a glance from Michael shows his power among all who he rules. Paradoxically, we are shown that Vito does it differently, he gives people a chance to not fear him Take for instance, a quirky little comedy involving a reactionary landlord of a friend of Vito's wife is another testament to Nino Rota and his score. With a different tune it could have been terrifying, yet here it has a flutey Italian jig playing, so it is taken lightly. Michael never has such a frivolous sound accompaniment. His interactions have the whistling background of deep piano foreboding and in one of the most depressing scenes I have ever encountered, he returns to his wife, who is sewing and there is no love left. He gives no one a chance and is cruel, particularly to his step-brother, Tom, who is loyal beyond question. A very complicated movie that no-one could fully comprehend in one sitting. For the most part, there is no book to refer to (except for Vito's segment being part of the original novel). It deserves multiple watching, it is a towering achievement in modern motion-picture artistry that will provide food for all thoughts. At once it is both a soap-opera and a mystery. It remains never-bettered by imitators. This is mostly due to it has been, aside from the hilariously inferior Once Upon a Time in America, largely unattempted. Not being one to romanticise the past, it is daft to say it could never happen I truly hope it does as it would be some kind of film to watch. Until that day 9.5/10",9 A wonderful movie with a great message. Loved every single scene. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. Hats off to the whole team for their dedication and patience. We feel very proud that it's a kannada movie.,10 "A much sterner test of whether or not I am going to like a film than the word of mouth from film aficionados on Reddit or when it is ""certified rotten"" is how quickly it goes to 40% off at Barnes and Noble. This did so pretty quickly my, against my better judgment I decided to use up my gift card proceeds on this turkey. (Mainly because it is more and more difficult to find a Barnes & Noble that sells DVD's.) This had the potential to have been a very pleasant diversion, reminiscent of the American screwball comedies of the 30's and 40's, when it decided to go over the top and embrace every genre but comedy (and Westerns.) The film concerns two Korean families, the haves and the have-nots The haves are composed of computer exec dad and his faux sophisticated wife and their two children, the teenage daughter, studying English to achieve success on college entrance exams and a junior whiz-kid artist whose works are obviously normal scribbling. In the course of her studies the daughter has the services of a college student who has decided to take a sabbatical and recommends his friend, a non-college educated but English fluent son of the have-nots as his replacement. The son quickly sizes up his new employers and sees room on the job for sis as a art therapy expert who would be just the person to expose junior's genius to the world. Eventually the entire have-not family become ""parasites"" feeding from the prosperous haves. All vestiges of any comedy then disappear and philosophy seems to take its place. It is not a welcome change. Watch it at your own risk considering the source of all enthusiastic comments that might tend to sway you.",3 "Not kidding lol. The first 2 I liked. But this looked like a 'one day thought out plot' an ODTOP hahaha. Seriously, I caught more than I was actually scared",5 "Again, we are pleased with Rian Johnson's work. The second installment of the adventures of detective Benoit Blanc is a tremendous spectacle of laughter, mystery, and obnoxious characters that keep us glued to the screen enjoying one of the best movies of the year. With an intelligent script as the first great success by Rian Johnson. The ability to create dialogues that bring out each layer of his characters with which he honors the title of the film. The consistency that his characters have is largely what sustains what we are seeing on the screen. The identity of each of the characters that surround the mystery is an ode to stupidity and horror in people who become totally hateful, but wonderfully adorable to watch on screen. For each character to work in the final frame, it is thanks to the good performances delivered by its cast starting with a Daniel Craig who once again makes it clear that this comedy thing is good for him. Accompanied by a hypnotic Edward Norton or a portentous Janelle Monáe, who stand out in a cast that is totally inspired without exception. The twists that his script proposes allow us to be in front of a true mystery film, one of those that the viewer likes so much because they make you participate in solving the mystery in conjunction with the development of the film. In a certain way, the film transports you to those board games that the film refers to very well in certain parts. Getting into a satire about the luxuries and pleasures of money or what you are willing to do to keep yourself in a cradle of gold, even if this means ceasing to have modesty or empathy for others. It is a film full of detestable characters that are still a criticism by the director, of the decline of maintaining a status for which you are willing to go overboard and have no feelings to continue maintaining those luxuries and that standard of living. That gives you to be part of the goose that lays the golden eggs. An entertaining show, a wonderful film that entertains from beginning to end with intelligent humor and at times absurd, but one of those well-done that only spreads fun in a sequel that invites you to continue adoring the mysteries that Benoit Blanc faces.",8 "It's incredible how the characters and situations in American Fiction are able to casually and effortlessly make you laugh your butt off. The satire on the perception of Black lives, Black literature, Black films, and pop culture in general, is so candidly put across that it's hard not to sense the overall freshness in storytelling. It subtly pokes fun at those who seem ""woke"" whenever it's convenient and panders to their narratives, and the film calls it out louder for the ones in the back. The humour in the film is just unbelievably blunt, spontaneous, and when it unfolds in a situational fashion with splendid performers like Jeffrey Wright (who plays the protagonist Monk, a grumpy writer), John Ortiz, Erika Alexander, and Sterling K Brown doing their duties well, American Fiction turns into a very enriching experience. Wright, especially, is on a roll with his impromptu reactions. I think the film also did fairly good in making us connect with the uneasy dynamics within Monk's family. They all feel like real flesh & blood characters, with opinions and perspectives of their own. However, the (meta) humour quotient peaks whenever the film showcases events surrounding the satirical novel that Monk writes under the pseudonym of a convict on the run. Not only does it effectively mock literary cliches associated with Black writers, but writer-director Cord Jefferson also goes the distance and satirizes Hollywood's fetish for such narratives. Adam Brody, in a cameo as an incorrigible Hollywood screenwriter, is darn good too.",8 "Intriguing start that peters out quickly. A whodunnit set in the years between WW1 and WW2. A high profile general is murdered and his daughter seeks the help of two of his former regiment. When she is also murdered they must work to clear their name whilst re-encountering figures from their past and from across New York's elite. Suffers from a pretentiousness throughout that involves every character being 'quirky' in place of any real ingenuity in the narrative. If you strip away the 'kookiness' of the star studded casts delivery the plot is very simple. Amsterdam definitely suffers from the fact that every character is 'odd'. As a result there are no 'straight' characters to play against. A likeable film with a huge cast but nowhere near as clever as it thinks.",6 "So excellent. A ""must watch"", if there ever was one. A sobering, remarkably directed, produced, and performed tale of human heroism, folly, and the repercussions of both.",9 "12YAS is the most powerful film among the Best Picture nominees this year, at least when it comes to emotional terms. In fact emotion runs the show in this Steve McQueen directed film. Chiwetej Ejiofor fits the leading man's shoes perfectly and he is the heart and soul of the movie. In a year where Leo DiCaprio and Matthew McConuaghey gave enormous performances, Chiwetel may have to settle for the nomination. This is also an actors movie by excellence, so much that I highlight from the large cast Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong'o, both Oscar nominated performances. McQueen's take on this tale is one of a very dark nature, one that is not for everybody. One particular scene is terrifically cringe worthy as you see a sight too horrible to behold. While it may not feel as fresh as other contenders, 12 Years A Slave is a wonderful film that depicts a dark time in American history. Recent movies about slavery have been getting a little backlash as they are becoming far too insistent. I believe that when well done, like in this case, it's no problem that this topic is presented. In fact I encourage it. Rating 8/10",8 "Good Oscar strategy: make a movie that feeds the stereotypes of the effete LA/NY/UK snobs. See the commoners in the midwest/south; sub-humans, all racists, all violent, all stupid, and all relentlessly foul mouthed, even children to their parents. Yeah, I gave this mess two stars. It must be a hard acting job to portray repugnant White Trash, and deliver your C-word, F-word, N-words with conviction.",2 "Love this show and all the episodes,hope this series continues",8 "The Boys: Season 3 on Amazon has the gang trying to stop the Supes especially Homelander who is played by Anthony Starr from from his destructive pattern. The boys head to Russia to revive Soldier Boy (Jason Ackles) to be able to stop Homelander from his terrible ways. We later learn Soldier Boy is Homelander's long lost father. Great script, wonderful cast, very entertaining with lots of body parts Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) hunts down his former team to justice for putting him in a chamber. Loved every minute of it. The Boys steal Compound V to gain the advantage to bring down The Supes. The plan to end the reign of the Supes. Definitely all this series to your list. Hopefully next season we get to see never any of the servers.",9 "QT fan. Couldn't wait to watch this and abandoned the family, set the room up perfectly, bottle of wine and Chinese takeaway, pressed play and... Nothing happens until 2h 25m. The film finishes 6 mins later.",3 "So I'm binge watching this in 2020 since its covid and this show was highly recommended. Perhaps its not a show that should be binged because the ""artistic"" elements of the show become very grating after awhile. I LOVED the first season and a half, and then it got really slow (with the exception of an episode or 2). Slow motion camera. Creepy music. Slow boring monologs. Then we get to the Red Dragon part of the show, which is pretty much exactly like the movie. To the point where I know what's going to happen next. I keep hearing that the show has an amazing ending and I'm about 3 episodes out so I'll update when I'm done but I honestly just can't wait for it to be over.",6 "Let's start with the good bits (of the first two episodes - that's all I could take): I enjoyed David Tennant and Michael Sheen as the two main characters, Nina Sosanya as Sister Mary Loquacious, and Sam Taylor Buck as Adam Young. The ""Garden of Eden"" characters puzzled me - if Eve is ""Adam's Rib"", why is her skin so much paler? Discovering that God was not just a woman, but an American woman at that, made me realise where the money must have come from to make this adaptation, and made me fear for the adapter's treatment of Americans who feature in the plot (but as I haven't seen those episodes this isn't a spoiler). I shouldn't really have been surprised at Anathema Device being American too, but that was my ""U-571"" moment. The opening sequence was reminiscent of BBC TV's ""The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy"" - another story that worked better on the radio.",3 "We had heard good things about LiT, and when we found the DVD in the discount bin at the video store, we couldn't believe it! Well, now we can. Cluttered and claustrophobic, unfunny (the DVD raved and called it ""hilarious"" - huh?) dark, sad, slow and disturbing. Overall, a disappointment, and we gave up after an hour. The movie takes way too long to establish the characters and their relationships and nothing pushes the plot along. Nothing was believable, and we didn't care about the characters. This is amateurish screen writing. My husband, who never throws anything out, tossed this one. Don't write us off as nonintellectuals, but this one didn't resonate with us. It ain't ""Groundhog Day"" that's for sure!",3 "I've been lucky enough to watch Kung Fu Hustle twice now in a theater and it is my favorite film of the the last year. For those of you who are wanting to watch a martial arts film in the vein of Flying Daggers you will most likely be disappointed. This film is to Martial Arts what Star Wars was to Sci Fi movies, Raiders of the Lost Ark was to Action Flicks and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre was to Horror, ahead of the curve and able to be appreciated on many levels. It's incredible humor,special effects and great performances make it a true surprise that delivers something new with each viewing. I applaud Stephen Chows work and hope that those who attend future screenings will be open to an experience much more fulfilling than just a ""Kung Fu"" film.",10 "Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met is one of the most refreshing love stories made in recent times. It is a very simple, interesting and charming film about a heart-broken and serious guy who meets an extremely vivacious and talkative girl who gradually manages to change his perception of life and love. And then, the story turns over in a rather interesting way. The film works better in the first half, as it is more alluring and funny. It later turns into a mini-drama but still in a natural way with a lot of comedy and fun. The music is great and each song contributes to the film's mood in its own way. The film stars Shahid Kapoor in a greatly restrained and impressive act as Aditya, but it is Kareena Kapoor's film all the way. Her comic timing is top-notch, and she is charming, convincing and full of life as the unforgettable Geet. Later on she also provides some superbly acted dramatic scenes, which she plays with unusual restraint and depth. Jab We Met is a very memorable picture, extremely entertaining and uplifting, and definitely a must-see for those who enjoy pleasant, comic and romantic flicks.",8 Easy to watch but also boring too. i didn see great acting and the whole 1000 kills for one kid didnt work for me. if u have plenty plenty of time give it a try but dont epect too much.,4 "This was screen played from the first book in the Red Sparrow trilogy, and maybe a sequel can be coming? The acting by Jennifer was believable in the part and there was lots of suspense and a vert good finale with twists.",8 "It's a killer folks. Poor wee superhero's all fall out with each and get all sad about being superhero's It's a wee shame for them. Nobody to talk too, they get awfully upset, then it leads to depression. This film really highlights the tragedy of being a superhero. And we wouldn't wish that pain on anyone who isn't a superhero. For I can only imagine how tough it must be to be able to fly, or lift up a heavy hammer or pretty much be invincible. Oh it's cool actually, they made up with each other, and there all fighting together. Oh that's magic so it is! Good for them. And they've learned something too I'll bet. Something about teamwork and pulling together to defeat the enemy. I hope they remember this learning curve for the other Avengers films. Maybe write it on the noticeboard or send a group WhatsApp. Captain Planet or whatever he's called will be the Admin so he can/remove superhero's. He looks like the kind of jobsworth that will not allow daft Gifs though.",4 "When i saw the name as Falcon and the winter soldier i was excited to be treated with breath-taking action and plot. Instead we get garbage. Just how can you waste such good talent ? Making idiotic plots with cringe dialogue. What happened to fast paced action thriller with lots of conspiracy stuff and double agent vibes? Super soldiers, assassins, government funded psycho soldier, terrorists with toppling government agendas, spy and double agents.... how can you go wrong? The performance is really the saving grace but the show is an absolute train wreck. Even though winter soldier was my favourite movie this is nowhere near that. More of ""THE MESSAGE""",2 "My kids turned it off after 20 minutes, I sat through the entire 1st episode and what a waste of time that was, black and white 1950's sitcom garbage",1 "This is now the 4th iteration of this tale.How many more times are they going to keep dredging up this seemingly undead tale? Is there any creativity left in Hollywood? All they seem to make are remakes, sometimes of great movies, though very often of movies that were not too great in their previous iterations, like this movie. (Disney has become the master of the ""beating a dead horse"" syndrome!) This movie shows how you can take about 30 minutes of story and drag it out to 135 minutes of tedium! Boring and contrite and very highly overrated!",3 It felt like I was watching a bad version of Party of Five. Don't waste your time.,1 "Sandra Bullock is Ryan Stone, an acclaimed medical engineer currently working in space with George Clooney, as veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky. After a disaster strikes she finds herself alone, adrift and spiraling out-of-control. Films starring Sandra Bullock are usually best avoided but being directed by Alfonso Cuarón, and all the praise, we put on those ridiculous sunglasses so to not feel left out on some great new cinematic experience. While Sandra Bullock is as unexciting to watch as ever, George Clooney makes the perfect veteran astronaut. As for the state-of-the-art 3D special effects, it doesn't help the story. In fact, it hurts the film. Everything looks so smooth and perfect, it feels like a cartoon. It leaves those of us aware feeling safe and therefore we are unaffected despite what is going on within the story. As always, and now more than ever, Cuarón masterfully captures entire scenes in long, elaborate takes. However, at this excessive amount, it never lets us into the story. It's just endless clever shot compositions that only keep reminding us we are watching a film because the camera is too busy showing off. The greatest aspect of the film is it's sound design. Gravity is a great story that's beautiful computer generated images work against it. There is no sense of reality, which leaves no tension and no dread. Just pretty pictures without the ability to suck us in.",2 "1 - It could be a great show if the writers could organize better. If they could draw a better time line of events or just make it clear. 2 - Too much fill episodes (apx 2) and stories, just to make volume. It's too much time spent in a lot of useless information. 3 - In my opinion, the acting is pretty good, as cgi and other acting etc. 4 - This could be a GREAT show, but, it's not.",7 "Director Vasan Bala and screenwriter Yogesh Chandekar has made a delicious mix of wit, wickedness and whimsicality that defines the neo-noir comic thriller as a whole. Full of knowing winks thrown the audience's way, Netflix's Monica, O My Darling, is a wildly entertaining film packed with twists and turns that keep on giving until the final fadeout. Rajkummar Rao plays robotics expert Jayant Arkhedkar, a small-town lad who has wormed his way into the corporate charmed circle. Branded a pretender and a parasite by a rival within the company, he is drawn into a fiendish conspiracy that can only spell trouble. Determined not to have the rug pulled from under his feet, he sinks deeper and deeper into a dark rabbit hole. Huma Qureshi is Monica Machado, the top honcho's secretary, a femme fatale who employs her guiles to hold her ground on a slippery slope. And Radhika Apte, given an ""and above all"" billing a la Pran in Hindi movies of another era, is ACP Naidu, wisecracks her way through the grind of policing. Aided by a terrific screenplay and a tremendous cast of actors, Vasan Bala assembles all that a twisted thriller should ideally have and then adds his own singular flourishes in the form of wonderfully organic, homegrown elements fuelled by an unbridled love for popular cinema and a sensibility that can turn familiar into fresh with minimum fuss. Vasan Bala extracts top-notch performances from his actors. Rajkummar Rao is never off the boil as a chameleon driven by an instinct for survival. Huma Qureshi fleshes out Monica in all her splendour, a woman who revels in twirling men around her fingers. Radhika Apte takes to the role of a chatty policewoman who is always a step ahead of the rest like a fish to water. Be it Sukant Goel, Sikandar Kher, Akanksha Ranjan Kapoor or Zayn Marie Khan, everybody in the ensemble cast adds spice to the dark universe but actually, it is the writing that makes even the minor characters stand out and leave their scent. The compositions of Achint Thakkar have the jazzy flavour of R. D. Burman and the lyrics by Varun Grover provide a sense of human greed and the ephemeral nature of life in a fun way. At times there is an overdose of self-awareness and doffing of the hat, but Monica O My Darling... is not to be missed at any cost.",7 "This movie as it titles states, speaks the truth for so many of us. We are tired of the categories that keep us divisive and want to be seen for who and what we actually are. I relate and act on shared experiences and open mindedness. I Loved realness of the movie and the humor. I related on soooooo many levels, well done and shout out to Erika, She has always been amazing and I been rock with her since Maxine😘. Wise, creative, and spiritual Goddess, stay blessed Queen!!!!!! Repeat by mistake: This movie as it titles states, speaks the truth for so many of us.

Wise, creative, and spiritual Goddess, stay blessed Queen!",10 Not sure how this movie has a 7.5 . It's very forgettable!,5 "Everything about this film,being a Comedy, is genuinely good. Actors are all great. And Vinay Pathak takes the lead greatly .... Wonderful actor You can compare the characters with your life watching this film.",7 "Okay, I have very much respect for the genius of Martin Scorcese, but I really can't see what this movie is all about. I have seen it only once, but I feel that that is enough to get the overall view of this particular flick. ""Taxi Driver"" should have been called, ""The Psychotic And Detrimental Effects Of Living In The City And Actually Caring About The World In Which We Live."" Now, I know that this is exactly what this movie is about, but I don't see the genius in making a movie about it. The classic scene with DeNiro and his gun (""Are you looking at me?"") is just that...classic. It shows the level to which his character has descended...he is now in a world where nothing else really matters...his revenge against a world and a system that has screwed him and everyone he meets and sees over too many times. I got a tad bit lost towards the end and I thought that I was watching a documentary about the negative effects of working in a postal office too long. I don't know, maybe if I watched it again I could find the hidden qualities and secrets that I seem to have missed on the first viewing. But for now, I would have to rate ""Taxi Driver"" with Scorcese's other horrid movie, ""U-turn."" But that is another paragraph or so. Ciao, Clyde.",5 "I am a big fan of Marvels, but this movie was a crushing disappointment. The effects was great, and......... that's it. The movie made no sense, you'll be mostly trying to figure out what's going on even after it's done. What a disappointment!! It honestly hurts. After watching Black Panther, I was so pumped up, looking forwards to watching this film, just to get a smashing let down! I'm actually afraid of watching the next Avengers. SO crushing it is! OUCH!!",4 "Maybe not the dumbest movie I've ever seen (Netflix's Secret Obsession ranks first), but this is a close 2nd. Lost a few IQ points watching this. Save yours and skip it. Note to the actors: Really, Ryan Reynolds? You're better than this. So is Melanie Laurent. You got a big paycheck to shoot some guns and kill lots of people while looking good doing it. Kudos to you but unfortunately, Michael Bay made a terrible movie for you to star in.",1 "I enjoyed most of Season one... interesting plot and held my attention for the most part. I liked the characters at first, but the more I watched, the harder it was to root for these characters who are annoying (Klaus), dim witted (Luther and Allison) and/or just a total douchebag (Diego). Five and Hazel are the only characters who save the show for me. Aidan Gallagher is extremely talented and fun to watch! Season two was just plain silly and season three is even worse. Also... who is the stylist for the show??!! Lila's hair always looks like she hasn't washed it since she was born, Allison's numerous styles are always a bust, and Viktor's reveal could have been a game changer but instead, looks like Alfalfa from the Little Rascals.",5 "I can't understand the acclaim this has received. I wanted to like this. It has a stellar cast. I just couldn't find anything to like about this movie besides the performances. I don't feel like the script was very good at all. This movie wanted to be a lot of things (mostly a Coen Brother's movie): a commentary on the red states, racism, guilt, revenge, violence in America, etc. I guess I can't fault the writer for wanted to achieve this kind of discourse. It's hard to really make something with depth and meaning. I can see why people wanted to like this, wanted to see these themes addressed and wanted to root for a picture with such talented performers. That's life though: sometimes we just fail. This movie failed.",2 "Let me start of by saying I am a massive fan of the genre, scorcese and all the actors involved. The movie is filled to the brim with incredibly talented actors. So I expected a lot. Maybe too much. It's a scorcese mafia film after all. So? unfortunately, it is a massive disappointment to me. The first hour especially is absolutely terrible. Like some student film maker tried to copy scorcese and put every cliche of gangster movies in there. And why is everyone completely ignoring tha godawful CGI/fake faces? The lips and movement was so off that it distracted me the entire time. The uncanny valley was so obvious it hurt my eyes. They even gave them plastic, cgi ears lol. De Niro walks around with a VERY obvious senior body, he cant even stand straight with his arched back etc. So when he pretends to be a young gangster it just looks so weird. The way he walks. The way his face is placed on his head, it sorta looks like a badly photoshopped bobble head...I don't even know how old he was supposed to be early on. Even with the terrible CGI he looked at least 60/70.. just with a plastic face. It was so damn confusing and annoying. Not to mention his obviously senior arms/body etc. I know the story, I know Sheerans age and Hoffa etc but in the movie I was always and constantly confused about their age etc Then there was the incredibly distracting music constantly. It almost always felt out of place and was so loud it distracted from the conversation going on. This was especially a problem early on during the young de niro scenes. Later on they tone down the loud background music Then the story, after the first hour it felt like the movie was finally picking off. We got a lot less cgi and more of the story. But then absolutely nothing happens. This is one of the most interesting mobster / union stories out there and they managed to make it boring and eventless. Everyone seems to love de Niros character Sheeran which makes zero sense to me at all. Pesci (Bufalino) sees him working on a truck and is immediately interested in becoming his friend and helping him. Why would a made man decide this random truck driver is so special? For the rest of the movie Pescis character covers for De Niro with everything and starts to act like de niros older brother. A big change from his usual role as the loveable psycho. Even calls de Niro his son this one time. But I have no idea what the age difference is supposed to be between the two. Aside from starting to ""paint houses"", which he does later on, there is no reason for De Niro to be so well respected and loved by everyone. They never show why he is so popular.. Pacino did some of the best acting in the show. But even with him they could have used another actor for Hoffa Listen I love it when a movie is long. Give me a movie that's 4 to 6 hours I still won't complain, the longer the better to me. But with this movie, I don't understand what happened to the time. They have 3 and a half hours to tell this story and they spend 20 minutes max with the actual story of Hoffa, the rest was just empty filler. After what happens to Hoffa (I mean is that even spoilable?) There is an full half hour of absolutely nothing. We have de Niro acting all sad about his daughter refusing to talk to him. It's never made clear why she hates him so much. Ok so she reads about dad in the papers, kids don't care about that. They dont fear their parents because others say so. They hate their parents because of how their parents are. But the film shows us none of that despite really focusing on that relationship extensively. I wish they had picked another actor for De Niros role. He is too old. The cgi was extremely distracting and left a very bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the movie. Even the way ""young"" de niro walked drove me crazy.. his young scenes annoyed me so damn much. It was never clear how old he was and he always looked very old so it was very jarring that they were suddenly in the past, then the future then the past again etc. CGI De Niro not only looks plastic, he looks like a hunchback trying to walk straight. Like someone put a coat hanger on the back of his jacket and there is a crane raising him from the ground to make him appear to stand straight. In the end this movie is one of the biggest disappointments ever to me. They took the most fascinating story and made it boring and nonsensical. I can't believe they took a story this great, used all the best actors and had the best mafia movie filmmaker and still turned it into such a massive mess. Truly a shame. And the critics and others reviewing it so highly makes me question the legitimacy of many of the reviews here. I get the critics being pretentious. But the audience isn't swayed as easily usually. Maybe they're all in some sort of collective denial. In the end you have a decent movie with terrible CGI, some great acting and some acting ruined by CGI, super old men pretending to be youngsters, a decent story that we barely get to see. An anti climactic ending. This could have been the movie of the decade. Instead it's a forgettable flick with tons of major names attached to it. A decade from.now people will still be talking about goodfellas but I doubt anyone will talk about this movie.. The only way they can save this movie and make it watchable in the future is to fix the disgustingly bad CGI and tone down the annoying music. If they have some scenes flushing out the relationship between Frank Sheeran (de niro) his daughter, Bufalino (pesci) and Hoffa (pacino) that would give a lot.more perspective. From watching the movie there is nothing that explains why both Bufalino and Hoffa are so enamoured by this Irish hitman. I am not sure but I guess sheeran played a big role on the story, which might explain why everyone loves him and respects him so much. Why his daughter hates him for no good reason other than his life as a hitman (if his daughter hates him in real life I imagine he did a lot more to his family than just being a hitman for a job). I mean, at one point Hoffa is calling his people all kinds of names, while yelling etc. Then Sheeran/pacino is offended and walks out, only for Hoffa to run after him to tell him how much he loves him and how he wasn't talking to him, how he would never disrespect him like that. In another scene there is this guy who is introducing Sheeran to Hoffa and the guy is like ""omg, this Sheeran guy is the best, a natural leader, everyone loves him, I'd let him.have my wife if he wanted!!"". It also needed more plot. a bit of drama. It needed for things to happen not just the murder of one or two random people that we saw for 2 minutes on screen. Anyway I can rant on for hours..I was so excited for this. I guess the hype and expectations made the disappointment a lot worse.",5 "So after the 2 episode premiere of WandaVision I guess I can say it's ok so far nothing too special or too crazy. Just pretty bland imo. So let's go through the good of the show which isn't much so far. So one thing I do like is the hidden easter eggs in the episode I won't say what any of them are but, they are cleverly hidden in the episodes. Also I do like the relationship between Wanda and Vision everytime they are on screen you really do care about these two loveable characters and which makes it even more devastating when Vision finally meats his fate in Infinity War. Ok now for the bad. I really did not like the Sitcom aspect of this show and it's has nothing to do with me disliking Sitcoms. I just don't like that nothing really happens until near the end of episodes which makes it extremely boring. Also it doesn't help that it's not funny at all and more so cringey when they try to get laughs out of you. Another is the credits are so damn long and takes up time that could be spent with character development or I don't know pushing the story forward. Other than that the show really isn't going anywhere I know we are only 2 episodes in but, hay at least it could be a little more exciting or engaging than what we got but, I don't know. I think I am complaining too much. Overall it's a 7.2/10 for me so far. Update: Ok these last 2 episodes were much better in terms of quality story, character development, and writing. Especially this new episode which connects all the events that happened in the previous 3. Right now after I rated the show a 7.2/10 I'm gonna have to bump it up to a solid 8.1/10.",7 "Excellent screenplay, superb acting by Rajkumar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi, every single character was important. Overall should watch movie",8 "The show does have good potential, and the animation was great. It was interesting to see this different angle. It presents different types of scenarios in front of us. I liked the the concept, it was something fresh from marvel! Some episodes were awesome with great action and story. Well, there were some fails too, such as tony and killmonger episode. They didn't treat well to iron man that's for sure!! The watcher and Dr strange were the most interesting thing in the show in my opinion! Some people just stay too much to details and don't appreciate the general concept, it's a sci fi, anime show.. So just relax and enjoy! Can't wait for season 2.",9 "Well, I just got home from this movie. I went with high expectations as I had read the IMDb boards. But... what a disappointment! Daniel Day-Lewis performance was, as usual, quite extraordinary. The scenery was wonderful. Unfortunately that summarises the good points. In the 21st century I expect more from a movie. The negatives of this movie are numerous. The soundtrack is excruciating. It begins slowly, but the grind on you gets worse and worse. The same agonising sequence over and over again. But the ultimate problem with this movie is waaaaay too long. It suffers from the tragedy of 'Dances with Wolves'. It can thank DWW that it does not become the pop culture joke that DWW has become in that respect. Ultimately this movie could have been told in an hour. Setting this movie at nearly 2.5 hours suggests that either the producer is trying to squeeze out a feature film from a tele-movie that want over budget, or that the director grossly underestimates the intelligence of most movie goers.",4 "10-15 years ago you could make a movie with great cgi and no story, and the audience would love it. Today, great cgi is a minimum requirement, it's taken for granted. It's nothing special. That's why you better have a damn good story, great graphics are not awe-inspiring anymore. Sadly, they forgot to bring the good story in this film. It's just a rehash of Avatar 1 + irrelevant teenage stuff + silly American hero worship + your standard war film. They've created something completely generic, the story has been told a thousand times, and better. It's sad, really. The Avatar 1 universe is wonderful, they could have created something truly unique - or maybe they should have left it alone.",3 I wish they had taken it back to the basics. That is all.,4 Everything is ok/good about show but nothing great.,7 Loki is one of my favorite characters and I was really looking forward to this series. I'm 5 episodes in and overall disappointed with the story line. Everything that made Loki an interesting character has been removed in an effort to redeem him- right down to his costume. I hate the determinism theme and by season 5 it's all gotten a bit ridiculous and not even trying to take itself seriously. Overall disappointing.,4 "The actual rating is 8/10 (But as we always known that a good handwriting deserves extra points, this too deserves it!! to motivates directors like him & as well as others.. Overall the movie is an excellent work from Indian Cinema. The opening of the movie & introduction was well placed. The 2 hrs 30 minutes fun was well deserved though you might loose your clutches in between the movie. To that, simply hold on!! It is well casted movie who have committed excellently to the characters. Pankaj Tripathi alias Sattu Bhaiya "" take a bow"".. ""Bittu"" too has played well in the narrative. Anurag Basu has delivered yet another wonderful piece in this new genre after ""Barfi"" & ""Jagga Jasoos"" in terms of cinematography & direction. Though the plot should be taken in taste of bollywood, we love chatpata!! The genre is not new to fans who loved ""Pulp Fiction"" - 1994. But to watch a spectacular narrative/direction in Indian Cinema was something new to watch after a long time.",10 "Honestly, as a Bangladeshi, I love the storyline, but the scenes don't seem like in Dhaka, more like some place in Mexico and Africa.. and there are no kids in Bangladesh with guns.. historically and factually😅.. Dhaka is very different from what is shown in this movie..more modern..like Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. And Bangladesh is one of the most peaceful countries in Asia, like Canadians in North America. And all the actors are Indians, their Bangla and even English accent are not how Bangladeshis speak. The most sadest thing for me is that how many Bangladeshi people had to die just for 1 Indian.. in many way it shows how much ego Indians can build up and look down upon its friendly defencless neighbours. I wish there was at least 1 international movie where Bangladeshis aren't critised, shown as the bad guy, or brutally killed.. and it's true beautiful and modern scenes are shown. But hey, that's just my opinion..",1 "The film is spectacular and starts off really nice and promises to be very interesting. But once the spaceship leaves the ground, the movie deteriorates rapidly, and as it progresses it becomes so unbelievable and ludicrous, that I left the theater quite annoyed and very disappointed. I didn't like most of the characters. They are clichés, and none made me sympathetic to their cause or character. The robot is also extremely familiar and it's design is ludicrous, trying to be both advanced and ancient at the same time. I really likes other films by the Nolan brothers, but it seems they don't give their scripts as much attention as they used to. A disappointment.",3 "great story and progression of characters does a good job of spicing up the marvel cinematic universe immersive action scenes",9 "You know how you wait with baited breath for a next episode Well after the first 2 episodes I can safely say I'll catch up as and when on the rest of this series To be fair it set such a low bar it won't have to do much to improve Poor is a compliment",1 De Niro is only getting riles these days because he leads the Trump hating brigade. His character acting has been played out. I don't think he knows how to play different than what we've already seen dozens of times. The movie is too long and the youth cgi is terrible.,2 "Another program with characters that are simply difficult to like or identify with, strange messages and made in a very mediocre way. Oddly there's so much hype surrounding this show that has already been reworked under many other titles so many times before.",2 "Okay, this series sucks, but Parker Posey as Dr. Smith, is great. I think the writing could have been a lot better. The original, was a lot better. Guy William's and cast, were a lot more convincing.",4 "Don't get me wrong, Knives out two is a entertaining film. I liked the cast and especially Craig's performance for Benoit Blanc. The story was clever but disappointing. The first film had a clever story with a believable albeit somewhat farfetched plot, but it's sequel was to Sci-fi for me. The used way to out there ideas to support the story. Secondly the first half of the film isn't engaging enough. Despite it being a necessary component to the plot, it just felt lazy in sketching the story. Maybe I am to harsh in the way I criticise this film because of how much I liked it's predecessor, but for me it just wasn't as enjoyable. So to conclude if people would ask me if I would recommend it it would be a yes with a disclaimer. Still entertaining but not enlarging the legacy of Knives Out.",6 """Are you Tony Stank?"" Ahhh the actions just keep getting better and better. But now we had more superheroes fighting each other. Of course the best was Spiderman who was both funny and charismatic. As entertaining as the action, I felt the story wasn't as strong as in Winter Soldier. However, it's still a good story that led to awesome fight scenes. For sure one of the best trilogies. 9/10.",9 "Unfortunately Venom 2 is decidedly average failing to capitalize on the potential of the character and the lead casting. Instead relying on the special effects way too much. The first movie was slightly disappointing (if you watched the trailer you saw everything of note) but it did lay the ground work and back story for Venom and Eddie Brock. This sequel presumably takes place some time not far off the first movie and Eddie is tasked with interviewing death row prisoner Cletus Kasady. The movie essentially follows a collision course between Eddie and Cletus. Ultimately the movie is fairly predictable from start to finish. The story is lacking, rushed and seem forced upon us from the off with little motivation from any party. We do get some back story of Cletus, but the whole time you are expecting more of a connection between the main characters that never happens. My biggest issue however is the over use of Venom. The effects for the most part of exceptional and seamless. We seem Venom in full form a lot (too much) and we also see Venom partially separating him self from Eddie so they can have face to face conversations on a frequent basis, which makes absolutely no sense. They also amped up the character of Venom to be an unruly teenager type jackass who holds all the cards, which is fine, but it was just so overused and the humour failed to land. All in all the movie looks incredible, it just doesn't go anywhere and doesn't develop the characters at all. It's worth a watch if you enjoy Marvel movies however this is definitely one of the weaker entires in its expanded universe.",6 Well scripted dialogues and character display. Don't know if there's gonna be another season or not But still the hopes are high.,9 Found myself fast forwarding a lot. Great visuals But lead actors aside from will are weak as.,5 "Basically an exercise in post-modern cinematography, ""Everything Everywhere All At Once"" lives up to its tenet that ""nothing matters"" by ignoring elements such as a plot. Character development is dispensed with by giving each actor multiple characters with both good and evil qualities. Watching this picture could be dangerous for those susceptible to epileptic incidents or subject to migraine headaches.",4 "Not a good movie, if your a fan of the comics go see John Wick instead, poorly written cash grab,",2 "The Christopher Nolan fanboys will tell you this is a masterpiece. It simply isn't. Some scenes are good, but the story just isn't told. Imagine that many men stuck in a small town, we never really get the scope of that. If you are someone who knows nothing of Dunkirk, you won't learn a single thing about it from this film.",6 "This show goes there. First off, the first season is far better than any of the others. Unfortunately, like many great shows, season two is pivotal in the success of the remaining seasons reaching the critical buzz as the first. BUT, still, watch it with that in mind. I think you'll understand the characters and their arcs more if you have that kind of lens. The show is deep, dark, psychologically intense, but a needed reality for our younger generations to absorb. It's like a fine stage play.",9 "Sequels are tough to make, rarely it lands as good as the first installment specially if it was a good one, so in that regard I felt that Glass Onion was actually a highly entertaining movie. I really enjoyed the original Knives Out, although I felt that in a way the plot itself was nothing new, the way the director managed the story and created the intriguing and twisted atmosphere around it, made audiences drawn to that classic murder mystery. I had no expectations for the second time around, if any I wasn't expecting it to be great given the amount of detective stories already depicted in movies and TV shows, however it managed to surprise me a lot. It starts odd but not completely strange or detached from the first, it still has the same quirkiness except this time the murder still didn't happen and we are presented with some development of the plot beforehand. If you give it time the context and the characters motivations are slowly revealed and of course when the story starts to get more intense the twists also start to happen. I don't agree with a lot of the critics I am seeing, the silliness and dramatic overacting was already present in the first movie and they kept the same tone and atmosphere on this one, it's just the plot that's different and for me that's good otherwise they would just repeat the same story on a different setting. The ending was a bit anti climactic since I believe it overextended a bit unnecessarily and I was expecting more Knives Out type of twists if I'm being honest. Regardless I still found it really good it did justice as a sequel to its predecessor.",8 "Arrested Development is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen in my life, and it's one of those shows I just recommend to everyone because it's that great. Everything about this show is amazing. The clever, joke-filled writing, the running gags, even the foreshadowing in this show is insane! The characters and the crazy situations they get into are hilarious, and the actors are incredible. There are no laugh tracks, which makes this show so much better. So I've listed all positive things, and I think I made it pretty clear that it's one of my favorite shows of all time, so why did I give it 9 stars? Well, this show would have been an easy 10 if Netflix hadn't removed it from its grave to try and revive it with a 4th season. Season 4 of Arrested Development was... a let down, to say the least. My main issue with it is that each episode only focused on a few characters at a time because of the actors' schedules, so the story moved along very slowly. The intro says ""Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together"", but they're all split up. Season 5 wasn't great either but at least they were all together for the most part. The 3rd season ended beautifully, and they could've left it at that. Sure, people are left to wonder what happened next, but by attempting to revive the show, they've also slightly tainted their reputation. Now, instead of saying ""This show is so funny, the best thing I've ever watched"", it's more like ""The first 3 seasons of this show were so funny, don't bother with the last two"", or something along the lines of 'the first 3 seasons are the best'. I think that nowadays there seems to be way too many remakes/reboots of classic movies or shows, and creators might not understand that sometimes it's okay to let a show end, even if it's on a bit of a cliffhanger. In conclusion, I do highly recommend this show, it's comedy gold, but know that seasons 4 and 5 aren't quite as good, so do with that what you will.",9 "The first time I saw Forrest Gump, I loved it. On the second time around, I saw how terrible it actually is. There is not as much a plot as an idea. It's like watching ""Look who's talking"", where the writers thought that simply having a baby talk was plot enough to fill a hour and a half. You all know the premise of this movie. The life of a retarded man in 20th century America. He does a lot of unusual things, which all turn out ok and trigger key historical events. This is funny. Then the writers see that two hours have passed, and have to conjure an ending. They kill off Forrest's wife and have Forrest give a tearjerking speech like only Tom Hanks can. This is uplifting. There. Now go home and feel good. Some of my friends saw the film as plain all-american propaganda. In my opinion however, the film doesn't really take itself seriously enough to just be a vehicle for the American dream. In fact, Forrest Gump could have been a biting satire. As the audience is clearly supposed to laugh at Forrest's improbable success, the film could be seen as a parody. Mostly all the humour comes from the fact that the audience knows that the events are the exact opposite of what would happen in reality. The filmmakers could even have argued that recent history is so insane, that the events could as well have been caused by someone like Mr. Gump. The movie, however, doesn't have the guts to have lean to the right or left. Forrest's pivotal role in history is treated as a mere light-hearted gimmick, omitting all the possibilities for actual commentary. The film tries to have it both ways in many other scenes as well. Apparently it´s not PC to bully Forrest, but on the other hand the audience is supposed to laugh at his antics. Forrest as both a war hero and a peace advocate exemplifies this problem. This isn't being ironic, impartial or open to interpretation. Especially concerning the Vietnam war, the writers have obviously not wanted to offend anyone, now matter how derivative it will look. In the end, it only comes off as having nothing to say.",5 "If you told me a few years ago that one of the best movies in 2023, and arguably the highest-grossing one is going to be Barbie, I would have laughed and called you crazy. But here we are, and the atmosphere in the theatre felt like a cultural revolution, which can become ""You just had to be there"" moment for the Gen-Zs. Through the medium of this film, Greta Gerwig expresses the frustrations of all women, and at the same time presents a satirical take on patriarchy. The movie praises Barbie for being a feminist icon, but at the same acknowledges it's regressiveness. Ken is basically every man who embodies patriarchal ideals just for being rejected, as he feels accepted in the real world but gets ignored in the Barbieland, which was a stark reflection on how women feel in the real world. At the end, it has a beautiful message for all women. The script is genuinely funny with bucket-load of hilarious moments and lines. Ryan Gosling brings his A-game as Ken, saying that his expressions are hilarious would be an understatement. Ryan has basically understood the assignment. Margot Robbie was basically born to play the role of Barbie, as she fits into the role to a T. You can feel her as she is going through an existential crisis. The set-design and costumes were praiseworthy and clearly deserves an Oscar nod. The costumes of each Barbies and Kens have been designed so beautifully and intricately, that it bears a mention. The buildings in Barbieland have also been created with love and passion for the universe. The architecture of the movie is a visual treat for the audience. The cinematography of the film does a good job of presenting the Barbie with glitz and glitter. It is pink and completely unapologetic about it. The soundtrack is an icing on the cake. 'I am just Ken' is still stuck on my mind, as I am penning down this review. However, I do feel that the supporting cast was wasted, as thsy had very little to do. In conclusion, the movie is a popcorn-muncher but at the same time delivers a heartfelt message which is very important for the world.",9 "It is the kind of propaganda movie that used to be made at the height of the Cold War. When the Russians were drawn, depicted and described as fat brown bears with red stars on their foreheads. What else should I say?! Maybe that I expected an intelligent caper like Thinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy? Yes. Totally disappointed. Left half way. Not worth my time. Sorry for the money I spent...",1 Basically a vehicle to hear Sandra Bullock pant endlessly. Everything was way too obvious and the storyline was extremely weak. I watched it a second time just to give it a chance and I don't understand how this b movie wound up being so popular. A huge disappointment on every level.,2 I'm a huge fan of Bradley Cooper and I really like Lady Gaga - but this movie was pretty bad. I was literally counting the minutes until this train wreck was over. I usually agree with reviews - but not this time.,3 "Directed with the sure hands of brothers Anthony and Joe Russo (TV's Community) from an excellent screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is easily the best of the stand alone Marvel films and a thrilling action film full of big surprises and twists with far reaching consequences. A superior sequel like X Men 2 and The Dark Knight, it raises the stakes of good story telling and intricate plotting of comic book adaptations in the guise of a political thriller. Steve Rogers AKA Captain America (Chris Evans) continues his adjustment to 21st century life after his thaw from the deep freeze (in Captain America: The First Avenger) and befriends a fellow veteran, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). On a typical mission for S.H.I.E.L.D., Cap and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) lead a team of agents to rescue a pirated ship which turns up an interesting bit of information. Meanwhile, as S.H.I.E.L.D. readies the major launch of a defense system in Washington, D.C., there are growing concerns expressed by boss Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) to his superior, Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford). As suspicions multiply, all hell breaks loose when there is an assassination attempt on one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own. The conspiracy leads Captain America to a confrontation with a mysterious, formidable figure, The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), whose strength and skills are extraordinary. With only a small circle of comrades, everything Cap has come to value comes crashing down. Loyalties are tested and just who will survive a major shift in the world order is just the beginning of an insidious plot. For fans of Cap, these are grand times as the filmmakers have chosen a major story arc (The Winter Soldier) from his comic annals and incorporated Silver Age characters, e.g. The Falcon (Mackie) and Batroc. Recently, super hero films have chosen to bend the rules and take chances with tradition. This film goes much further than any previous Marvel adaptation. It features a good mystery, topical subject matter on individual privacy, and significant plot twists so much so that it is essential for the viewer to watch them unfold without any spoilers. The smart script contains witty lines amid a pervasive feeling of mistrust and paranoia. When Cap responds to Fury's state of the art weaponry to combat threats and says, ""This isn't freedom. This is fear,"" it sums up the theme of the story. Think of this as homage to 1970s conspiracy classics like Three Days of the Condor, The Parallax View, and Marathon Man. The film also employs moments that references Mission Impossible, The X Files, RoboCop, and 24. Acting is uniformly strong as some old, familiar faces return, and a few new ones get introduced. By now Evans has become the embodiment of the iconic hero, retaining his sense of justice, duty, and morals, virtues which are downright refreshing in a post 9/11 world. Rogers is a Rip Van Winkle out of his time and still learning to assimilate the world changes and cultural references with amusing results. Evans' chemistry with Johansson is believable yet ironic since their two characters have vastly different backgrounds. In a costarring role, Johansson's Black Widow is resourceful, smart, and deadly as a S.H.I.E.L.D. operative whose history is only beginning to be scratched. Perhaps Black Widow should have her own film! Jackson's Fury has an expanded role and reveals more facets of his mysterious background. Robert Redford (All the President's Men) has a significant, atypical role as a high level official, and he is outstanding. His presence alone adds legitimacy and authority to the film. Mackie (The Hurt Locker) is an ideal buddy in arms to Evans. Emily VanCamp makes a good first impression as a young agent, and Cobie Smulders (returning as Agent Maria Hill) provides solid backup. The many impressive action sequences are noteworthy for their ferocity and meticulous detail, but the standouts are a mad, opening car chase through the streets of D.C., and a remarkable fight in a glass elevator that surpasses the gem in Die Hard: With a Vengeance. There are moments of intense hand to hand combat that recall the best moments of the Bourne films on steroids. You've also got to love that shield; the film wisely displays all the creative ways Cap's shield is employed in combat. The violence here is realistically depicted and not cartoonish which pushes its PG-13 rating. Extensive use of hand-held cameras and more live action special effects than CGI lend a stronger sense of realism. D.C. locations make a splendid backdrop for much of the film. Taking super hero filmmaking to new heights, Captain America: The Winter Soldier successfully interconnects what we know from previous films and effectively challenges you to reevaluate everything in the Marvel Universe. It certainly helps to have seen the previous films, but there is sufficient background and context that a casual outsider would still enjoy it. (Fans of TV's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will have a field day as the events tie directly with the show.) Though the film ends with open ended story threads that beg for another sequel, consider this as The Empire Strikes Back of Captain America. That's not such a bad place to be. (As usual, don't forget two post credit scenes which are significant.)",9 "Really? I realise I am ten years behind the rest of the world and as are, one would hope, the critics who matter - but what is the attraction with this? I am almost through season two and I am already skipping through scenes like I would through the pages of any of this decade's John Grisham novels. I am a fan of this ""genre"", let's call it (for argument's sake), but was put off by its inadvertent airing timing and the occasional, if fleeting, controversy surrounding the portrayal of Muslims. I don't know if using ""TV"" and ""intellectual"" in the same sentence is synonymous, but I like mine to be just that. To provoke thought and not be a one-sided agenda charade. I gave in due to a. needing to form my own opinion on this show and b. boredom. I am not entirely sure what pro-Muslim groups were more offended by. The terrible, repetitive plot or the way they were portrayed. Did anyone ask? This may be construed as a ""spoiler"" - but I did not pre-warn since if this spoils it for you, then that's many hours of your life you'll never need to claim back - but here is the programme's plot as I see it: - general and all too brief preamble surrounding the involved agency and the main characters - threat occurs - general 'mistrust in all colleagues' protocol ensues - one of main character's kin is kidnapped (usually the girl who for CRYING OUT LOUD could do more than just run about with bouncing tits, no?) - president steps in - president is manipulated by his administration/ex-wife/car dealership - more threats - more bouncing tits by agent's (or agents') kin in their continuing escape from everyone they encounter - clearly America is the general asylum of psychopaths - more distrust - close shave for varying agents - death for not so fortunate agents - more tit bouncing - more distrust - discreet romance among the agent ranks - deep disdain for the agency's management occurs - management is usurped - president is unhappy - crisis averted - oh but wait, there's more - lost the will to live. If that's a ""spoiler"" - then you're welcome! NB: My bad, I forgot a bit. Somewhere in that plot can you please add:",3 "The script is predictable, action is meh, dialogue is messy. I really don't know how its getting great reviews... it belongs under the movies watchable while playing on the background category.",5 "Going into the movie I was ready to compare it to my all time favorites, Apocalypse Now, Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, and The Dear Hunter, but ""Dunkirk"" didn't even come close. A mix of poor character development, plot, context, and over-the-top acting was what killed the beast. There was some vivid depictions of the horrors of war and interesting cinematography, but all in all a major disappointment. ""Dunkirk"" had incredible potential but fell flat of reaching new heights. Definitely a movie to only see once.",6 "An earlier review called this movie a razor-sharp satire of White preoccupation with African American stereotypes and I really can't do any better than that. It was truly cringe inducing watching white people imagining that the novel within the story was a ""true"" reflection of Black life in America, sticking Black people into a box of their own imagining, when it was all a scam. I really want to complement the cast, who were all excellent, with extra credit given to Jeffrey Wright, who has really become one of my favorite actors. His performance is so well modulated that I would not be shocked if he somehow managed to scoop up the Best Actor Oscar, but the competition this year (Cillian Murphy, Paul Giamatti) is really stiff.",8 I never seen anime series like this The main character the mad scientist and his big muscle friends want to build the civilatation from the start,6 "I thought season one of the show, while not without flaws, was a fun and mostly well-executed coming-of-age story and adventure romp that paid homage to family movies of the 1980s like ""E.T."" However, after a season two I felt seriously regressed, and a third season which seems to be regressing even further, I can't help but feel the charm of the show is wearing incredibly thin. Part of the reason the show wears thin, in my opinion, is the lack of any interesting usage of the time period it's set in.",1 "I've enjoyed the other recent Spider-man movies, but this one is just riddled with plot holes, character decisions that seem illogical and contrived for story purposes, and over-the-top nostalgia. Marvel and Hollywood in general are capable of better storytelling than this. No complaints about the visuals or acting, but what's the point without an authentic and well thought-out story?",4 "I had a feeling #2 would be #2. The ONLY memorable actor in this clown show was Mickey Rourke. Basically: This is not the first show. The first show had some soul and a story you can follow and get behind. Iron Man 2 is a Hollywood slop of arrogance. Instead of a good story they produced an overboard light and sound show that will leave you burned out. Let me explain the movie in child like terms: You love chocolate ice cream, and vanilla too, and Coke, and Sprite and Skiddles - so you mix all these things into one big gulp cup and drink. YUK, BLAA, BLAAAUCK. This is Iron Man 2. With out a story one can get behind, a movie becomes forgotten as soon as it is over. Except for the anger you have for blowing your money and time, this is remembered! I am going to have a difficult time trusting Robert Downey again.",1 "Hero fights baddies. Through a succession of gunfights, fistfights and car chases he stops baddies from destroying the world. Oh, and there are Norwegian fjords in (landlocked and high altitude) Kashmir...",2 "Extraction has nothing new to offer. Netflix and Chris Hemsworth(He is the producer of the film) just tried to cash the lockdown and popularity of Chris Hemsworth. Otherwise there in nothing new to the film. Same old formula with lots of action and violence. Bodyguard aur Rocky Handsome ka enhanced version hai bas... Screenplay is written by Joe Russo and it is quite okay, Chris Hemsworth is the only person we see on screen. Randeep Hooda and Pankaj Tripathi has nothing to do. But Priyanshu Painyuly has some screen space and he is a shining star... So ""Extraction"" is a completely missable if you are not a hardcore fan of of Chris Hemsworth. Watch something else more interesting like Samantar😊",6 "I like it A LOT. I mean like a whole lot and stuff because this has to be a certain length. So, there ya go.",9 "I was positively surprised to see Sandra Bullock stepping out from the darkness after not seeing her for such a long time. I've always loved her and same goes to John Malkovich. When the movie started and I saw them together I thought ""wow, I'm so happy I get to see them together, and the movie seems promising too!"" But I'm sorry to say that the plot of this film was average at it's best. Everything else was from okay to great - the director Susanne Bier does a decent job and personally I have nothing to complain about her work. All the actors, even the small kids, do a fine job. So what went wrong? The plot, the whole story. It had a promising hook with pretty unique monsters. Without saying too much I'll just state that I was perfectly fine with the way the story dealt with the entities - that's not the problem. The problem was unimaginative and dull story with lukewarm twists that you could foresee from miles away. In my books this film goes to category B-, a movie which I will never watch again because it would be too damn boring.",5 "Affleck's 'Argo' is the story of a movie which never got made. It's a well-acted and well-directed inspiring true story. Affleck has grown as a director and guides his exemplary cast to perfection, in this political thriller. In just three films, Ben Affleck has reached quite far. The movie starts well, with a short glimpse of Iran's history, it gathers good pace and maintains necessary tension till the very end. The only complain I had was that it only focuses on he plight of the 6 fugitives stranded at the Canadian Ambassador's house. It doesn't tell much about the remaining hostages, nor does it tell about the plight of the Iranians. Iranians are shown just as bunch of violent hooligans; it's quite vague and inaccurate. What happened was the culmination of a long series of grievances harbored by many Iranians against the United States. Not that their storming into the embassy could be excused. But, there are lot of things excluded which doesn't give the big and clear picture.",7 "I don't mind that much that the first hour of the movie was slow and really not showing a plot, Tarantino does that (the slowness) in most of his movies, but then i realised that the plot was to copy the ideas of previos movies (ie Inglorious...) and by the next 30 minutes you could definitely know what was going to happen, and when. Great performances for Di Caprio and Pitt, but unfortunately this Movie lacks a soul. A waste of time in my opinion, hopefully Tarantino can get back to good movies in his 10th.",5 "Very pleasant surprise. Netflix and Duffer bros pretty much nailed it. An elaborate and hard working homage to John Carpenter, Spielberg, Raimi, Stephen King and other horror-adventure masters of the 70's and 80's that also stands on it's own legs. While Stranger Things does lack sometimes finely timed emotional punch and doesn't go full escalation in some cases, it still blinds with quality. From atmosphere to music, nice story, good characters and damn fine actors, this Netflix show is a great viewing. I'm not going to spoil anything, story is interesting and if show's synopsis here is not enough for you, then you'll just have to check the show for yourself. It does play with some sci-fi/horror standards, sometimes diving in completely, sometimes defying them but almost always is treating it's story and legacy with respect. Yes, it is a bit of nostalgia-bate but it uses that as an advantage and not cheap gimmick, which I find important to make it more distinct from other projects that solely bank on cheap nostalgic tricks. I'm totally recommending it and hoping that we'll get Season 2 or something similar.",8 "In their way of glorifying their own industry, Hollywood loves when movie makers makes movies about themselves. Look... it's an actor acting to show how hard it it to act. Bravo! Let's give him an Oscar.",4 "OK, while there some new effects for the franchise, this film had its problems. Like Batman Begins, it brings in the guy who wants revenge against the guy that's causing the problems. Enter Heath Ledger. I really do not think that he did a good job. I mean, the first Batman film in 1989 introduced the joker, so why bring him back? Jack Nicholson stole the performance, and Heath ruined it. The problem with the Joker in this film is his looks. Jack's Joker had a smile surgically fixed on his face. Heath's Joker has a smile painted on his face. Pathetic. The original look was better. The jokes and puns are terrible, as are most of the action sequences. Now, seriously, someone bring back Michael Keaton? 2/10 sorry, guys, but this is just my opinion.",2 "The commercials tease you with a returning cast and returning evil. What do we get instead a cookie cutter horror movie that doesn't have the charm of not only the other movies in the series, but is the first blemish in Wan's recent career. The Warren couple makes a guest appearance which served nothing more than connecting this movie into the same universe as the others then BOOM they are gone. Leaving us with a standard, unoriginal, and boring movie that could have been put out by any studio or director. Not up to par with the actor's or director's other work. I've loved all his other movies and nearly walked out on this one since everything came as you would expect it to even the commonly, overused, jump scares.",5 "Very slow, unnecessarily long, full of loopholes, Jake Gyllenhaal is a disappointment. waste of time, you probably have seen better stories in TV series.",3 "The 60's series was great, but that is the past. This builds up on and adapts the original. It is its own. An entertaining sci fi! Thats whats its all about, or not?",9 "This is starting to be downright ludicrous. Another naked king makes it to the top of the charts, helped by massive publicity. This is just another generic action blockbuster, based on tired clichés. It's not different from, say, those old Schwartzenegger movies: it's just updated for current trends and mass appeal: more effects, more speed, more violence, more noise, more music, just more of everything (except the intelligent stuff of course). The whole thing takes itself so seriously, and even pretends to bring some, er.. philosophical insight (sic) to the mix. Yeah, right. You end with a product that is not only mediocre, but aggressively and arrogantly so at that! Yes, Ledger's acting is a treat. And there's even a ~30 sec. good scene halfway through the movie. Er... That's about it. ""Overrated'"" doesn't even start describing the irrational hype around this formulaic and forgettable action flick for teenagers.",4 "Wow, this is a real stinker ..... if you want to watch Bill Murray mugging boredom for the camera for 1.5 hours, get in line. And you get to hear him sing .... along with several other persons who obviously cannot sing .... for an extended lenght of time .... if you think this is funny .... get in line. I bailed on this one, waited outside for almost an hour for my wife..... she said it stunk too....but she thought something was going to happen......... it didn't.",1 "Just when you think you're done with the superhero fatigue, a show like The Boys gives you hope. Which is ironic, because nothing about this story screams hope. The Boys explores the introduction of super-powered individuals with much darker themes (like we don't have enough of those also). By focussing on the influence of social media and the marketable image of a 'hero', this series remains very grounded. It poses the real question of - How would the world look at superheroes today, and then dives into a very well thought-out reponse. With no surprise, corporations begin trademarking Supers as their own product, carefully crafting their backstories, choosing their marketable demographics, using them for product endorsements and scripting out crimes for them to stop. Its House of Lies meets Watchmen. The cinematography is stunning; there are some beautifully shot scenes. The characters are well-written,and quite funny. I also like how no one in this show, except Karl Urban, is famous in the US. So we're seeing relatively unknown actors, who do a good job with what they're given. Its such a meta-relevant series for 2019; I think about how Tom Holland is basically now a multi-billion dollar property, being fought over by two megalomanic corporations,as easily something that the Boys can get into in future seasons. This series does a good job of blending comic book mythology with real world consumerism. Its a good example of how vast the comic lore expands into, how you dont always need a ""world-ending threat"" storyline, and how small scope think pieces actually hit the mark better. This is basically an alternate version of a morally ambigous Justice League, and if that appeals to you, get on this.",9 "It is heavily promoted as a fight of monsters. However, it did not capture the audience's hearts in terms of epic action, instead turning into a romantic comedy that tells the story of two distinct species that do not appear to be suitable, but they fit well. In my opinion, venom 2 is not a nice movie at all. It's all twisted and disorganized. It tells the story so quickly that we don't understand it. But it's true that this film succeeds at jokes and humor. So people who like Venom in the first episode would probably enjoy this one as well. Those who didn't enjoy the last film would most likely dislike this one too, Since it isn't all that different from the previous one It's a fun action film with an excellent battle sequence. In terms of actors, this movie includes a variety of talented actors. However, because the storyline moves too quickly, it lacks of significant characteristics of the characters, particularly the main character and antagonists. They are not explored as thoroughly as they should be, but the finest part of this movie is the end credits, which I believe make it worth to see. Summary, The entire film is focused on building up to the final fight, which is unsatisfying. Yes, it is a crossover between two popular comic book characters, but that is all it offers. The antagonist is uninspired and unappealing. The plot is hurried, boring, and uninspired in every way. Because the script lacks content worth meditating on, there are no personal moments to enable things to be interested in. For me Venom 2 is kind of a dissapointment Overall Score: 5/10.",5 I am now on episode 5 and this show tanked. It started interesting and I really liked it. Then in episode 3 the plot just gets slow and doesn't make any sense. The characters are flat. The mystery is not very interesting. It just doesn't feel like a good Stephen King it just feels weird. The main actor who is the detective is not very interesting and neither is the lady who has some kind of mental powers or something? I dunno. The only horror here is how boring the show is.,3 "There's still 4 episodes to go, so I don't know how people come to a conclusion already. But don't get me wrong, the show is great",8 Kangana Ranaut is one of the finest actors of this generation. She has delivered an amazing performance.

Here's my review about this movie: Why why why why??? Why this movie?? Why is it named Annabelle?? Why is it in the conjuring universe?? Why trick people in the name of Ed and Lorraine Warren (R. I. P) when you see something say something. It's written in all busses and subways. But people in this movie are seeing ghosts, paranormal incidents but doesn't tell them to anyone. Given your parents are paranormal investigators you should tell them to them 1st. 1* for Marry Allen. Her cuteness and Acting. 1* for a smart scene where Ed performs exorcism through projector. 1* for Bob who keeps people entertained in this sleepy boring movie. To People who gave 10 stars - Have you ever seen an horror movie in your entire life?",3 """Building a Bridge of Chance for Someone You Love"", I don't think I've heard a better quote about love and relationship ever, that too, so deep seated in reality and I'm saying this after having watched my share of rom-coms whether its in the form of a TV show or a movie. I mean every now and then you come across something that shows you not just the face value but the core value of what it is at work in our day-to-day interactions with people around us and, how that sometimes gives birth to these love stories and, how these stories are different from your run in the mill stories of love at first-sight or, predestined fates of two souls, that you've heard or, watched a bezillion times. What lays the groundwork of this love story are the small encounters that take place in everyone's life on a daily basis, whether its while going for work, taking a walk etc. in this case it was taking a subway for our guy which gave him that chance. The characters and their relationships are introduced in such a way that every guy or girl can easily relate (okay,not the drunk part) irrespective of the language barriers. The simplicity in the story is what hooks you till the very end so that, even 2 hrs of run-time falls short for us as we crave for some extra footage of our leads sharing scenes. Yep, their chemistry was that good and anything that can come close is Jesse and Celine's chemistry in Before Series. Also the humor works throughout the movie with no cringy,erotic one-liners. I'm glad that in this vast sea of remakes and reboots lying around I still chose to watch the original. I really can't recommend this movie enough, especially for rom-com lovers.",9 As a movie it is good. But if that famous Surgical Strike happened the way it is portrayed? Doubted it.,8 "Definitely it should be acknowledged that this movie was nicely made from a technical perspective (filming, cinematography etc), and was accompanied by the professional acting of its well-known actors. But downfall of this film is its disappointing plot. Some movies are made to build on and develop a story to deliver a message or meaning at the ""end"". Some other movies are just made to take the audience through a ""process"" and ""journey"" and through that journey they convey their meaning and message. This movie however was none of the two type I just mentioned. No depth in the story, long scenes that didn't necessarily play a role in the plot, as well as an ending that didn't even remain loyal to the real life incident. Not only me but also amongst the group of friends I watched this movie with, there was this sense of confusion about what was this movie trying to convey, even though we were not all foreign and new to QT's films and his brand and style of moviemaking.",5 I was hoping with the actors it had that it would have been akot better.,1 "What really stands out in this movie, is the effects. They are of course state of the art. But the acting is surprisingly good also. The movie is a tad too long, and somewhat heavvy on the long dwelling shots of old scenery.",6 "Season 5 may be terrible, but Black Mirror is a very impressive, original show with lots of interesting ideas.",8 "Not lived to it's expectation. In the entire pilot episode they just thought that a fight sequence is just enough. However story wise there was nothing good. I got a feeling that I have already given 10 minutes to it so lets finish this episode. It would have nice if I have wasted just 10 minutes only. Nothing keeps you excited to continue your watch.",2 "It's true what they say about sequels or remakes. They're never as good as the original. It was like watching a Disney animated feature made in to a live action film in reverse. Although, I must say that the preview trailer of the mixed live action/animated Call of the Wild with the CGI versions of Harrison Ford and Buck looked even worse. Although, the makers of 1917 could pull off a Godfather II with the sequel 1918. However, I'm sure 1919 would be as satisfying as The Godfather III. What's that saying about history repeating itself? Hmmmm. I can't recall. I've actually enjoyed those single shot videos on YouTube of people eating various types of food into a microphone for two hours more than 1917. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during that meeting when they debated the title of the film. At least the sets were pretty!",1 "This movie was well directed, well acted, and very professionally made. Too bad its so boring. It has a run time of 3 and a half hours, and it feels like 5 and a half hours. The movie is slow and meandering. There isn't really one central conflict that slowly builds to a climax. Instead, its a series of stories told by an elderly mobster about his life of crime. An hour and a half into the movie, I found myself wondering when the main conflict was going to begin. But, it never did. Its just one story after another, which ends with the protagonist as an old man, looking sadly upon his life of crime. The movie was artistic, and paints an interesting vignette about mob life. But, I found it difficult to watch. Sorry Martin Scorsese, but this movie is just too damn long, slow, and boring.",5 "First of all to say that I am not a comic books fan and I knew nothing about Daredevil. So this opinion comes from someone who gets to know superheros only from movies and TV. Overall I enjoyed the series, it was well made, very good production, good acting and cast (in most of the occasions, Onofrio was amazing). I have the feeling Comic Books fans must have really enjoyed this. But...I did have a few issues with it: 1. Way too violent. I have no clue if the original comic is as violent, but I found this repeated bloody ""pornography"" unnecessary and a sign of weak writing. Showing gruesome deaths and beatings in graphic detail is an easy gimmick and gets frustrating after a while. 2. How many different Superheros/Vigilantes saving their city a TV season can handle? It is the same plot everywhere: we have a Hero and his secret identity, saving his city, getting beaten up A LOT, having problem with this friends who initially they don't know but they finally learn the truth, all these diabolical villains and their mastermind plans, etc etc etc. I am not spoiling anything here, this is the same formula, again and again. Only the kind of mask/custom and the hero's capabilities change. And as I read in the news, at least 4 similar shows are in the queue. Not to mention how many movies follow. I think we will have an overdose soon.. 3. I didn't like the actor who played Daredevil. Especially his voice. which I find ultra annoying. It is not easy to play a blind character where the actor cannot use his eyes to express feelings. IMHO this one here, didn't do a good job. Anyway the rest of the cast was stellar.",6 "After five attempts to watch this movie I gave up and came here to write a negative review. Then I read the review which said it gets better in the second half, so I went back for a sixth time. After about 10 minutes I FF'd to try to find that part, but I give up. I'm not a fan of CGI in general and this had so much I just couldn't stand it. But let me tell you about the parts I did like: Ke Huy Quan's moving Oscar speech, and the interview of 94 year old James Hong on the red carpet. They both brought me to tears. I am 75, so I have seen Hong my whole life, mostly in bit parts. He talked about the Chinese Exclusion Act (a part of US history some people don't want you to know about), and how he felt when he could not get parts in films about Asians because they were given to white actors with taped up eyes. It was good to see Asian actors finally get the parts and appreciation they deserved, but for me that is the best part about this film.",3 "A very interesting and unique concept, cleverly written (in places), adequate CGI...but overall kinda dull and boring. I really struggled to stay engaged after the 1-hour mark...ironically, I found that the best parts of the film are the parts WITHOUT Ryan Reynolds in them(!) I'm not even sure kids would enjoy this. Very forgettable.",3 "In a nutshell: it is very cute. Although the themes of good and evil, heaven and hell, are rather epic and grand, this at heart just a small, gentle story of two men who hang out in a bookshop together, go to the pub together, pretend not to like each other, but secretly adore each other beyond the telling. For me, it verged sometimes on schmaltzy. Whimsy is nice. Absurd is nice. But as an English person, with these things I can't always quite shake the feeling that it's a version of England and Englishness being sold shamelessly to Americans. The cuteness of it, like a little decorative teacup, is charming for sure, but I missed a bit of bite too. There are moments when it could almost bite, but then it seems to get scared and back down fast. For all that, Sheen and Tenant are extremely experienced actors who make it fun, watchable, and easy, ably supported by John Hamm (another highly professional actor), who seems to be having the time of his life with this relatively simple, comedic part.",7 "Speechless after seeing.... Nagaraj sir proved again..... he's history maker of Marathi film industry....the story of the film, dialogues,acting of each characters are fantabulous.",10 "To me Dragon Ball Z is one of the most fantastic anime ever. I prefer the English version to the Japanese version. I have seen all the story and it's just great, an incredible story, they even made movies that are cool to, not to great but still good. The bad side was that they had to much power and when they where fighting, for example, Kid Buu, I think with all the energy blasts they throw should have destroyed the planet but didn't, but I did't care because it was really awesome. I fought the story would never end, and when I saw the end of GT I was just so sad it ended, but it was an incredible anime that I think that if somebody watch it until the end and like it, well, he or she will never forget that boy that had an amazing adventure. I think I will never forget this epic story! 9/10",9 "What a boring movie. How can such a movie be rated that high? Will always be a secret to me.",3 "First Impression: At first, Kung Fu Panda 2 is an impressive sequel that bravely continues the story from the first movie. Yet, as the movie progresses, the movie presents a mix of stunning visuals overshadowed by uninteresting, cliche villains, creating a conflicting tone for the narrative. The Positives: Hans Zimmer is always on point musically. His score beautifully captures the essence of the original, ensuring the sequel stays true to its musical roots. Moreover, the plot is interesting. Exploring Po's backstory further enhances the story and provides a strong argument for its continuation beyond the initial movie. The funny interactions between Po and his adoptive father add humor to the movie, keeping the franchise's unique mix of comedy and emotion. The Mixed: The film starts off strong with lively characters and an intriguing plot, but later becomes weighed down by clichés in the second half. While the beginning shows potential, the later sections are filled with long and expected battle sequences. Shifting towards cliché hinders the narrative from delving into new and engaging scenes. The Negative: The sequel features a darker palette visually, which, while artistically justified, doesn't always work in its favor, particularly during action sequences that feel more dreary than dynamic. The sound design in this installment is not as deep or immersive as the previous one. There is a noticeable rush in the cinematography and editing, which detracts from the strong visual storytelling seen in the first film. Conclusion: ""Kung Fu Panda 2"" is a sequel that has its bright spots but ends up feeling weighed down by its ambitious goals. Although it effectively broadens the narrative world and maintains the musical and comedic appeal of the original, it falters in its visual appearance. The movie fluctuates between moments of excellence and mediocrity, ultimately earning a 5/10 rating.",5 Is there something I'm missing in movies lately? Like this film and Once upon a time in Hollywood really remind me of each other. Really long films learning about characters that lead to absolutely no where. 3 and a half hours for 1 shocking moment that lasts about 2 minutes. With both films you could easily cut out 2+ hours and still miss absolutely nothing. Boring story. Boring characters. Boring movie.,2 "After five episodes I am underwhelmed. Trying to be patient since I know it takes time to build the story and introduce characters but thus far I feel nothing. There is not one interesting character and when an episode ends I don't feel excited to see the next one. The only characters I remotely like are Rhaenyra and Alison Hightower who seem more interesting than they really are because the other characters are so dull. The two young actresses who play these women are about the only thing in the show I would give praise to and they will be disappearing in episode 6. As a villian, Dameon is a minor leaguer compared to characters like Joffrey, Ramsey Bolton and the Mountain. Next week we have another time jump and perhaps things will improve but I won't hold my breath. The only way to get this show going is to kill off King Viserys and get a war of succession started.",5 Classic. Super fun for the whole fam. Impressive for a cartoon without anything overly adult but has an epic feel. Captures your heart.,10 "Beautifully shot, perfectly cast, gorgeous locations, great music, love it! It casts a spell in every way!",9 "After the immense disappointment of The Marvels, I'm glad I watched Loki season 2 afterwards, because it is, simply put, brilliant TV. I enjoyed the first season even though there was some definite pandering to ""modern audiences"" but season 2 really stepped up a gear with some excellent writing, fantastic production values and top notch performances - especially from Tom Hiddleston as our titular antihero. Special mention to Owen Wilson for what is, without doubt, his best ever performance. Ever. The last 2 episodes of the series are mind-bending brilliance. I really can't praise this enough after the mountains of dross that The Multiverse Saga has delivered so far, and it gives me hope that the MCU isn't dead yet. More of this please Marvel!",9 Feels the a first time director from the 90s following cliche after cliche. So glad I waited to stream it. The actors feel like they know it's gonna be bad so gave it half effort.,2 "First of all a grand salute to those, comparing this series with Breaking Bad and Madman. This series is utterly boring, acting from the main cast is repetitive. Nawazuddin Siddiquee seems to be coming straight from the sets of Gangs of Wasseypur and did not realize that this is a different flic. Now for the Story adaptation and editing. Pretentious. They have screwed the story from the Novel. Its almost a pain to watch the events unfolding. This Series lacks depth. Direction is average and not at par with GOW aur Udaan. All in all this is just all about marketing tactics from Netflix to create a fake buzz. Dont waste the 8 hours of your life on this.",2 "I missed the first 20 min and thought I missed the ""why"" part. Sadly, it seems that it is never explained. I can't comment the plot without saying it is not making any logical sense. So, please enjoy yourself, just as I did, without digging into why this is happening.",6 "Secret Supertsar is about a young girl's aspiration to become star singer. She is from a conservative Muslim family and despite family taboos on music she does various activities for fulfilling her dream. Her mother fully supports her dream but the father doesn't. Despite domestic troubles, despite social taboos, despite the age she marches forward and touches the public spotlight. A good positive theme film but the characters are negatively depicted. The lead girl, a rebellious natured person, her father the kinda villain figure in the film, her grandmother and mother being the victim of patriarchal norms, Shakti Kapoor the carefree guy who needs to be controlled by others, her friend who is also naughty like her bunking class. Only positive character shown in the film is her Mother who despite abuse supports her daughter's dream. So the final note ""Real Secret Superstar is my Mother"" fully explains the film weight. It is not a film of feminism, but a film wholly dedicated to Mothers. A mother's day film in summary. Though the film has negative characters mostly but still it is a work that reflects good casting done and character study seem realistic, considering the situational set up of the movie. There are also some unreal situations that is significant. The narratives and progress of film is fast. The BGM esp songs are soulful. A film that has to be remembered for some good songs and some genuine characterization. A 64/100.",6 "Loki is one of the best marvel character, but they nerfed him too much. The whole series didnt bring that much satisfaction to me, but it was really interesting story wise.",7 "Reminds me of Mad Men in how everything is on a deliberate slow pace and yet it's still engaging. However there are some problems. Main problem is that the story is non-linear and doesn't provide clear structure. There's a character and then later on she dies and then further on she's alive again. I was confused and figured that it was a flashback but made it hard to follow. Second problem is there are some nonsensical acts. One example, a couple is fighting off dwarves and then they kiss and the man does some kind of spell to throw the dwarves off. Where did that kiss come from and why would you do that in the middle of a fight? Another example of nonsensical act is one of the characters complains that when you're a woman you're just a vessel and nothing more. And yet.... she wants to have a baby. Despite those problems I was entertained and overall they did a good job creating a magical fantasy universe.",7 "This is an HBO mini-series about the 1986 nuclear power plant disaster. A series of human error and a devastating design flaw would cause the worst nuclear accident in history. Deputy chairman Boris Shcherbina (Stellan Skarsgård) is put in charge. Valery Legasov (Jared Harris) is the scientist who figures out the seriousness of the situation. Ulana Khomyuk (Emily Watson) is a nuclear physicist in Minsk who detects the radiation and contributes to the solution. The most incredible aspect of the first episode is the roar of the exposed core. While I knew that the core was exposed, I never actually considered its primal roar. It breathe fire like a dragon. It blew my mind. The thesis of lies and hubris and scientific truths and real heroism is the story's beating heart. It is led by three stellar performers. Even if you think you know, this series will make you think some more. The final episode has a tough job of explaining the accident. It puts the exposition into the courtroom and it's surprising how understandable nuclear power science becomes. This is prestige television at its best.",9 "Do you remember that scene in the middle of Inglorious Basterds with Mike Myers going on and on about random European films most of the living world will never watch? This film is more or less a series of scenes just like that. Boring, goes nowhere, having little to nothing to do with the plot. My bad, did I say plot? I'm sorry but this film does not have a plot. Let me save you some time and money. This is basically one of those Tarantino films that only diehard Tarantino fans will talk themselves into liking for the next five years until Tarantino himself will be forced to admit that the film sucks and they will follow suit. Just wait for this to come out on video or see it for free when it comes to a small screen.",2 For me it's much better than original iron man. I watch imdb rating before watching marvel and ranking says that first iron man is better than second but for me it's reverse.,7 "This show is very well done. Season 2 is even better than 1. Each episode keeps you captivated until the end and then you want to binge the whole season. I'm a big fan of the main actors and they deliver above and beyond with their excellent acting skills depicting quirky characters that get caught in various crazy situations (spoiler: murders). I don't think there is one ""normal"" character in the show but that is what makes it so memorable and hilarious. It's hard to define what category this falls into... Comedy/Mystery/Suspense, with a little bit of romance. It can be dark at times as the characters sort their way out of the catastrophes, but there is enough humor to lighten it. Can't wait for Season 3!",10 "1-I am not a comic book aficionado, so I have no innate appreciation or preconceived notions. 2-The main character is incredibly unlikeable. 3-There is not two brain cells amongst the entire cast. 4-Any expectation related to physics & common sense is utterly ridiculous. 5-Not a single character elicits any care for their survival. 6-The awfulness hurts my brain. Comic book movies I like: Wonder Woman (the first one, not the terrible second) Superman Thor Black Panther Iron Man Zack Snyder's Justice League There may be others, but what they all have in common is that they have characters fighting for values greater than themselves - and most of them are likeable and not stupid. Venom is a hard pass.",2 "While the beginning was a little too slow for my liking, the movie did very well in terms of it's themes and foreshadowing, making the ending very effective.",7 Sorry but this is a desperate attempt to tell you to hire Noah Hawley. You hear that Marvel? He proved his worth to you. Now please bring Noah Hawley to the MCU. Thank you. Loki kicks ass btw this has nothing to do with their filmmakers. It's awesome. Just would love to see Noah Hawley showrun a series. Especially anything with a psychological twist.,9 If kung fu panda was star wars then this one is esb . This was back when jack black was at its peak with Angelina back when she was married to brad Pitt. This is also the first DreamWorks cartoon to be directed by a woman and has found great success in China. The success of this and the end of the trilogy has spawned a t.v. series and countless merchandise.,10 "As a huge fan of Se7en I couldn't wait to see David Fincher's latest film, Zodiac. After over two and a half hours of the movie I walked out of the theater stunned… stunned at how hugely disappointing it was. I never thought I'd say this about a Fincher movie… but Zodiac is just plain boring. The movie is way, way too long. You just don't care about the characters or about what's going on after a while. Forget about any kind of cool cinematography like you've seen in Se7en, Fightclub or even Panic Room. Zodiac looks like the exact opposite of anything that the director has done before. It seems to be purposely bland. Zodiac seems to purposely want to grind away at you with detail after detail, underplaying events with ultra low key acting & photography. The experience for me was that I had been ground down to not caring anymore about wanting to stay in the theater. I couldn't wait for the movie to end… or for it to peter out with a whimper as it eventually does.",2 I watched it for the first time in 2021. I did not like it maybe back then was big hit.,6 "In season one we got to know this incredible girl named Hannah Baker and live this tragic event along side with the students and parents. It makes you angry makes you sad makes you cry. Season two relies grossly on the legal battle started in season one. It brings more thinking on justice system, rich vs poor, #me too movement. If it already feels like there's already enough shows about these at this point it's because it is. Sure it's also about healing, let it go and all that. But this side is too subtle, it got concealed in the noice of finding of justice. So, yeah, it's not about Hannah anymore, there's no personal bond between audience of any character in this season any more.",4 "A pattern is shown in the marvel movies now. all heros are getting an iron man suit but made for the hero they are, spider man get a spider suit full with tech, Black panther does too and they are just like iron man but with a other abilities. I am getting fed up with these movies. When we read these magazines it was for the great stories, now its just senseless action with no brainer script, its made for kids who are about enter the puberty, for them these movies are amazing, But marvel is truly and utterly destroying their good rep with junk like this.",3 "Why people comparing The Witcher to Game of thrones. The witcher is a show that netflix needs because its been throwing up teenage garage in the last 2 years. If it wasn't for the witcher or the Irishman netflix would of been canceled long time ago. The Witcher fantasy world is way different then game of thrones, where in Game of thrones it focus on the people can be good or evil there is no such thing as being good nor evil its just human emotions. The witcher focus on a suppose evil person dealing with stereotypes but in the end is actually good",9 "It's not a bad movie, but not a very good either. Lots of flaws, cliches and inconsistencies, predictable as well, if it wasn't for Hardy the movie would have been bad. Some super-hero movie received way more criticism than they deserved, but this one deserves criticism. Yes, most people might find it somehow entertaining, but that's what Marvel is all about. Unfortunately for me I have seen lots of super-hero/comic-book movies and this one I wouldn't put in the good half. It's just nothing to like, except Hardy (but that's definitely not his best role, far from it) and a few jokes. It's meant for 14-16 years olds in my opinion. Sorry if I'm hard on the movie, but let's not fool ourselves, it's just an okay movie.",5 "Nagraj Manjule and Amitabh Bachchan name is enough for the movie. Music by ajay atul is next level Must watch movie and it deserve oscar. I recommend this movie to all.",10 "15 minutes of Bullock screaming ""Oy Vey"" in space followed by a Clooney suicide got me to shut it off. All hype and a sign that J. Cameron has passed his prime. The initial scene was promising. It was a good plot line. The movie was devastatingly disappointing after that. While I did not see it in 3-D the promised cgi graphics were there at the beginning. Other than the view of earth the rest could have been shot in a closet. Writing a review on a movie I walked out on is a cheap shot. Paying to see it would be a rip off. This is just warning to anyone thinking about a theater to watch it in. Wait for it to come on cable so you can change the channel.",3 Overall unimpressed with all D+ Marvel efforts. Not one has had me excited for more. This one is boring most of the time. THe actors are best part of all of these.,4 "Read only the worst reviews ; they are the honest accounts. This junk , although well acted , has no direction. The audio was poor quality - dialogue drowned out at times by seeming continuous foghorn droning. ( I think my TV speakers are now damaged beyond repair) Whatever story it has , or had , seems to be left to the audience imagination , since the scriptwriter obviously failed to accomplish any plot. waste of time is the verdict",2 Title says it all. This show is garbage. There's no way this show deserves an average 8/10 rating. I'm assuming some angry woke activists purposely tried to drive the score up or Disney is really paying to flood it with 10/10.,1 "I am a feminist woman myself but can't for the love of god not admit how ridiculous this movie is, the writing is absolutely trash, the male characters are just pure evil or just bumbling idiots. There is no depth about the character Enola, just that she is better than others surrounding her, which the writer tried hard to make.",2 Amazing performance from Charlie and Rakshith. Charlie has done so well sometimes we forget it's a dog. Great effort from director. Very strong and emotional storyline. 1st half is full on comedy. We won't get another dog movie for next 10 years. Pls do watch and be prepared to cry last 30 min. All the characters have done justice. Music is great and it keeps you hooked. Cinematography is top notch. Kashmir scenes are shot very well.,10 "Well the beginning was great with an interesting setup (although it was a bit weird that so many things go wrong, I get it, a shipwreck is probably no picnic, but really? They must be the most unlucky family to be). The visuals are beautiful and loved Will's first encounter... But it quickly turned out to be pretty much a spanish soap opera. Intrigue and deep family drama... eh, no thanks. I was here to watch a compelling space story, not some cheap bickering and backstabbing story. Also quite heavy on the ""I am mad at you, so I will use every opportunity to make sure you know"". I mean, in an emergency situation, I can't imagine wasting any mental space and time on that. You need everyone's skills to succeed and need to work as a team. If everyone is ready to do that, then let the team form, don't try to undermine that because of your ego. If these people are so smart and hand picked for this journey, one would have thought they are more wise and mature upstairs... It is sad, this could have been something quite interesting and unique.",3 "They really did some fantastic marketing with this movie. It's not exactly bad. It's just mediocre. It's very pretty to look at, and some of the music is actually quite funny and fitting. But this is nowhere near what was advertised, it's not a fun jokey movie that brought homage to old movies, some saterical jokes etc. It's that, followed by story with heaaaavy messaging, followed again by a quick joke. However none of it is funny or interesting enough to justify its runtime. The ending in particular was very obvious and just kept going, it's so clear they want you to feel something but you don't. It's just not interesting enough with the story they out forth and how long the ""ending"" goes on for.",6 "I tried. I really tried. I'll admit I didn't have high hopes for the series but the cast is so talented I thought no way it can be bad. Well, despite the performances being good, I can't think of one person who did a bad job, the show was boring. It is no embellishment when I say I fell asleep watching every episode with the exception of episode 4. The fight scenes are generic DMCU fight scenes that you see in every movie and show after Winter Soldier. I cannot see how so many shows and movies are based on Superheroes and you never see the the hero. I understand the VFX are expensive but Moon Knight shouldn't need that many while on screen. Is it the worst MCU show? No. Will I watch season 2? No? This show was so lack luster that it, along with pretty much everything from Infinity War to now, really made it to where I do not want to watch anything else coming from the DMCU.",4 "I approached this film with more than a little apprehension, especially after the lackluster trailers. Russel Brandt? Acting? ""Poor Casting"" was my immediate thought. How wrong I was. The adverts did not do the film any sort of justice in portraying how hilarious this film is. I went to see this with two of my mates, both male, as there wasn't much else on at the cinema, and we were all extremely glad we watched. This was a real laugh out loud comedy, with the (slightly immature) humour never letting up. I haven't spoken t to one person who didn't love ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"". So, if you haven't seen it, go now!",9 The new girl its annoying and no one beleves her and seems like they do that they want.,3 "The boys is a diabolical series with its own class in terms of shock value. The directing, script, acting, costumes, lighting, colorization, special effects are all terrific, and would put a lot of films today to shame. The characters have depth and with many flaws, their goals and motives are clear which makes it easy to root for them or not. The psychologically disturbed leader of The Seven - Homelander played by the wonderful Anthony Starr is both terrifying and fun to watch, anytime he walks into a room with other characters, you can't help but wonder if they will walk out alive. He always grins, always puts on a friendly face, but is also sinister and has such an unstable mind. Anthony Starr deserves some recognition for his performance. The cunning leader of The Boys - Billy Butcher played by Karl Urban, is also another interesting character, he is fueled by personal vengeance against supes most especially Homelander. Throughout the course of the series, we see him, along with the rest of the Boys, achieves his goals of eliminating supes for good. He is vengeful, foul-mouthed, yet charming and has a quirky, off-beat sense of humor but that's all what makes him such a compelling character. It's a whole different take on the superhero genre. it's dark and twisted, as it is shocking and hilarious. The dialogue works, humor works, drama works, the script's witty and the plot's intriguing and always manage to entertain. If you're tired of recycled storyline of most superhero movies these days, like I am, I highly recommend The Boys!",8 "Once you have seen Avatar the Last Airbender there is no going back! From the incredible characters to the beautiful hand drawn animation, this show pleases on all levels. If you enjoy action, romance, comedy, adventure or all of the above, Avatar is a much watch. It also features positive role models and great messages on spiritualism, the environment, and finding yourself in life. (PS: Legend of Korra is brilliant, to)",10 Don't waste 3.5 hours of your life watching this boring movie. It could have been 2 hours shorter and it would still be boring.,5 "Really good story and acting if a bit slow to begin with, i felt the main protagonist police was prerty useless throughout the series he is portrayed as a bumbling slow confused police, the ending was a bit if a disappointment and after the end credits you can see they wanted to milk the series,",7 "Agents of SHIELD is the best show on tv. I've watched all 6 seasons three times. While it does start slow, it quickly picks up in the second half of the first season. Although it does take a little bit for the show to pick up, DO NOT skip any episodes. Every episode has importance; if you skip an episode, you will be confused. This show has a lot of heart and action. It has amazing writing as well as character development. Coulson, Skye, May, Fitzsimmons, and Ward all bring their own value to the team. There's a lot I want to say, but of course I don't want to spoil anything, so you'll have to see for yourself. Enjoy!",10 "It's a subpar addition to the Spidey franchise, with underwhelming villains and a bland tone. The last act mostly makes up for that, but taken as a standalone movie, there's nothing special about this story.",4 "Everything the 1/10 reviews say here is absolutely correct - the premise is ridiculous, it is style over substance, there are a ton of product placements, etc. But: this movie is just plain fun, the action sequences legitimately set a new bar, I couldn't believe how good they are. Up to you to decide if the latter outweighs the former.",7 Avatar: The Last Airbender isnot only the best animated show but it is the best TV show I have watched this twice and I would watch it a third time all the characters are Amazing ( My favorite is Uncle Iroh) The plot is incredible and it is overall the BEST!,10 I'm not a Wes Anderson fan. I find his style to be too much. The most interesting thing about his movies is the production design. Other than that the writing style seems very childish. I don't like his stories or how he directs his actors. And this movie is no exception. It feels like a cross between a cartoon and a play. And I don't particularly like cartoons or plays. The only thing it has going for it is its unique style but that can only hold my attention for so long. It is a dreadfully boring story told in a dreadfully boring way. Not a fan. And this will probably be my last attempt at trying to understand why people like Wes Anderson so much. It's not for me.,5 "Pains me to write this review, towards one of my beloved franchises The movie was BORING!!! When writers meet a block, they write about time machines, and really. that is where the movie flops. Before it even left the page to go on film Lets sum up, -1 hour and 30 minutes of recap from previous movie/boring SUPER slow amp up towards for an ending, just to explain the horrid choice of time travel -20 minutes of action/climax, that was mostly a copy n past from earlier movies -30 minutes of SLOW boring ending Dont even get me started on Ms. Larson's flat acting, or the fact the Marvel Cannon was ignored.. Guess Capt America is now the God of Lightning? Right.... This is a disgrace to the Marvel franchise Save your time, and money. Dont even rent this",3 "The show is beautifully shot and the premise is thought provoking. I was incredibly excited to watch this show, sadly, I was disappointed. The pacing is deathly slow, the characters and relationships are underdeveloped and the repetition of conversations was straight up boring. This could've been done in 4 episodes.",5 "This movie is actually portraying a beautiful love story, and also that everyone has problems. But... It's just a bit to boring though... But nice movie.",5 It's a no nonsense psycho movie. No high pitched dialogs from the hero or the villan. It's a pure psycho thriller. If you are faint hearted it will haunt you for few days. The background score exponentially adds up to the thrill. A must watch Gem!!,10 "Movie-going is no cheap thrills today, especially if you consider ticket prices. Therefore the average viewer, myself included, wants to get his money worth and see some extraordinary images, preferably in 3D. There were attempts to couple this with what would be considered a powerful story, for example The Tree of Life (2011) and Life of Pi (2012). This time the producers pulled out a story that would resonate with the broadest audience possible and employed everyone's darlings Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. And this works for a while since the protagonists are not encountering zombies, dragons or other mythical creatures, but are astronauts fighting for their lives. However, at a certain point you start questioning the probability, if not the physics of the things you see in Gravity. In order to add to realism sound is mostly unheard but their is music to highlight the emotions which, in turn, reminded me of radio dramas i've heard years ago. Both Bullock and Clooney offer their standard performance. I only hope that real astronauts have more mental stability and better training than Bullock's character in the movie...",5 Can't give this minus five stars so I'll settle for two. Would be zero if not for the excellent Hardy. One of the worst films I have ever seen. A boring mess.,2 Very few film makers understand what is film making. Salute entire team.,10 "I can't understand why everyone loves Stranger Things. The first season was dull and too watered down yet fairly enjoyable, the second season tried to offer a bigger menace for the characters but got me tired quickly. Being kind of attached to the characters is the only reason to keep watching. I wasn't looking forward to season three and struggled to watch it until the end. Such a sloppy and recycled plot does not justify a full season, it's was barely enough for a movie. Nothing happens until the last bunch of episodes and by then you couldn't care less. The new bad guys are so random it almost felt like a joke. Russians??? Well, I don't think I can waste any more time on this show.",4 "Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a superhero film directed by Andy Serkis. The film stars Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris, Reid Scott, Stephen Graham and Woody Harrelson. Eddie Brock tries to revive his failing career by interviewing a serial killer, Cletus Kasady, who is on death row. When Carnage gains control over Cletus's body, he escapes from the prison. After seeing the name of Woody Harrelson along with Tom Hardy two of my favorite actors i was pretty excited and happy to watch the film but the film turned out to be an empty barrel with lots of sound from outside and nothing inside. The plot of the film is so predictable that if you anticipate any scene the very next moment the scene will be in front of you. It'll gives you a feeling that you've seen all the scenes of the film earlier and there is no excitement. The acting in the film is decent with Tom Hardy impressive in his character, Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris disappoints and Woody Harrelson underutilized. Screenplay of the film is also very predictable so as the climax. I was expecting much more from the film but the film turned out to be a gun without a bullet. Can be watched once.",5 "I was really excited to see this movie, being a big fan of history and all. I was disappointed however when I noticed that the film had a grave issue with pacing. It was as if the director was too excited about the movie he was making and slapped a series of events together. There are also several different stories going on at once, this just adds to everything being a sloppy mess and lead me to leaving the theater wanting more. While indeed visually pleasing, this one was an overall let-down for me.",7 "So disappointed. The reviews from IMDB was sold to me.. I was expecting a masterpiece. Fell WAY short of that. 10/10 for the food presentation. Season 1 was pretty good.. after that it just went downhill... i was watching 'recaps' from end of s02 until the end and even that bored me.",3 "First was great, in touch with reality. Second one was waste of time...but third is pure BS... Director was like: here is blank paper, we gonna put action there, action there, action there...OMG. Kids can do this better. I love Keanu but he doesn't need this. You can see how director wants to copy kill bill and enter the dragon and it just fails...big time... Even action scenes are bad, you can see guys bouncing tow times and waiting until Wick knock his friend down. Just Brainless action...",2 "Fargo is an all-out laugh fest with excellent performances and clever insights. There is plenty of violence, but there is also plenty of social commentary on Minnesota types. Frances McDormand is wonderful in her Oscar-winning role and so are Buscemi and Macy in their roles. The way the characters talk and interact is utterly hilarious. Ultimately the blend of Minnesota Personalities and murder commentary, added with a moral value at the end to make it more morally correct add up to make a modern classic. Kudos to Joel and Ethan Coen for making horrific violence funny in the darkest of ways and to Roger Deakins and his beautiful cinematography.",9 "There's a lot to like about Christopher Nolan's ""Inception"". There's some thrilling action, some spectacular visuals, and some occasionally clever dialogue. There's also some problems with Christopher Nolan's ""Inception"". The characters are mostly underwritten, the premise takes some work to buy into, and it's probably a good half-hour longer than it should be. I liked it, with some effort, but I won't think any less of you if you don't. There's a fairly cool opening action sequence, but after that the film descends into a good hour or so of exposition that bogs down enough that it stands to alienate a good chunk of the audience. The biggest problem with the movie (aside from the mostly-flat characters) is that the dream sequences aren't particularly ""dreamy"". The odd strange thing happens, sure, but there's a logic and structure to these dreams that I've never encountered in my own personal dreams. I was prepared to put a little work into my suspension of disbelief, but those flat characters don't make it any easier. This movie never engaged me to the point where I forgot I was watching a movie. It isn't a bad story, though. Nolan doesn't leave any nagging loose ends in his script, and if you've put in that effort to maintain your own suspension of disbelief up to, say, the 80 minute mark, you will be rewarded with a rather slick, multi-layered narrative and a pretty satisfying ending. But if you don't put in that effort, you're likely to find the whole thing to be kind of overwrought and tedious. As I say, I liked it, but it's far from being Christopher Nolan's ""masterpiece"" as some critics have hailed it. ""Memento"" was smarter, sharper, and infinitely more involving. And, yes, ""The Dark Knight"" was far more engaging, too. ""Inception"" is probably worth seeing in a theatre if only for the visuals and the action sequences. Park your brain at the door, and try not to expect too much, and you might stand a chance of liking it as much as I did.",7 "Superhero films have come a long way in the last twenty years. Look at one of the first superhero movies that really kicked off the superhero craze: Sam Raimi's ""Spider-man"" (I know ""X-Men"" came before, but ""X-men"" doesn't really have a good origin story aspect). Raimi's ""Spider-man"" pretty much has every quality that this film has: a goofy outcast in high school that gets picked on by bullies, an inciting incident that gives them powers, a training montage, some mid-level baddie fights, and then we finish it off with a fight with a guy who might actually do some damage... It's been decades since that film, how many freaking times do we need to see this exact story? I'm tired of it; give me something new. At least Marvel, when approaching their latest films, have started to branch out into different subgenres. Unfortunately, DC is still really struggling to get their cinematic universe off the ground. I know I ragged on this movie a lot, but it is probably the second-best DC movie out there (second to ""Wonder Woman"", though I still haven't seen ""Aquaman""). It's still nothing all that special, but at least it's a step in the right direction, away from the dreary world of Zack Snyder. If you're a huge fan of superheroes, then I can almost guarantee you'll like this movie. If you're a casual fan of superhero films, then just wait to see this on Netflix.",6 "Trying too hard to be the Wachowskis by stealing all their ideas, except for bits they lifted from Buckaroo Banzai. Overlong, unoriginal and dumb. It might have been okay as a 90 minute movie, but to pad it out there is repeated scene after repeated scene. An hour in and the plot simply bogs down and never gets going again.",4 "The dark atmosphere in Prisoners is just perfect. I have never seen Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal in such a great Oacar worthy performance. The director succeeded in creating a tense thriller. The suspense is hold from beginning on a high level with lot of suspicious situations. There is a good message to take away: when somebody is in danger the believe in God is important and to pray. What I didn't like therefore was the very long running time of two hours and a half! I mean, there are many puzzles but at the end it is a real torture to wait until the labyrinth is solved. So it is in my opinion sometimes too long paced and some scenes could have been cut. Please don't make such long movies. 6/10",6 "This movie started out interesting, then got quite boring and lasted way too long. Jennifer looked good though.",4 "Avatar 1 (2009): Jake, the protagonist, faces human Quartich, the antagonist (villain) in the final battle, and Quartich is killed. Meanwhile, Neytari undergoes psychological trauma by experiencing her planet being ravaged and torched by the invaders, all the while grieving for her murdered father. Avatar 2 (2022): Jake, the protagonist, faces Avatar Quartich, the antagonist (villain) in the final battle, yet Avatar Quartich survives (so that he can dreadfully reappear in Avatar 3). Meanwhile, yet-again, Neytari undergoes psychological trauma by experiencing her planet being ravaged and torched by the invaders at the beginning of the film, all the while grieving for her murdered son. At this point, her crying and screaming is beyond tolerable for another dreadful installment in this saga. Now package a seemingly recycled plot with very expensive pretty CGI VFX with video game camera angles and higher resolution blue meerkats, and a James Cameron view of looking at the universe, and you have a vapid and mundane restrictive view of storytelling. When the previous film made close to $3 billion in the box-office, pray-tell, why would the writers and producers wish to change the profit-formula for the next film? Albeit, this CGI fantasy storytelling is popular among the masses, it does not contribute to the already oversaturated film selection that already has explored this theme time and time again. This film is literally a new interpretation and presentation of the first film, without the charm and authenticity of a stellar plot. Among the infinite avenues that could have been chosen to explore the world of Pandora, Cameron and company chose to restrict their universe and characters with an algorithm designed to pays the bills and remain predictable. As such, this film was an entire let-down, and I will not be wasting my time with parts 3, 4, 5, 6, and possibly 7.",3 "This is the best crime/gangster movie of all time. I can't recommend this masterpiece more. A very dramatic and unpredictable movie, faster paced movie then the original godfather. The best part of this movie is when we see the beginning story of Vito, who is amazingly portrayed by De Niro.",10 "Long, BORING, never-ending! In 15 minutes you do not care who and why in this or that reality... You cannot even sleep there- too noisy... TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!! Tasteless chewing-gum... Almost as disappointing as Shutter Island (that was at least shorter)... DiCaprio is protecting wild nature or not eating meat - it's OK... But to take part in those incredible boring to death movies - it's really a failure... You come to see something really extraordinary - but - again and again - kinda art-house with visual effects - AND DISGUSTINGLY LONG AND BORING!!!",1 Season 1 this was really boring and like a boring good i guess. jaskier is so funny.,7 Anthony Mackie is a really terrible actor. Saw how he destroyed the Altered Carbon series. Cant believe someone gave a go ahead for this series. If this guy ever gets to be captain america... then all hope is lost...,1 "The first movie was so good, I cannot understand what happened to this one. They introduced the characters, but they forgot the story.",6 "This grandpa is a terrible liar, the story sucks and is so unrealistic!",1 "This is a ""lost in space"" style story, with the theme being on the isolation and helplessness of the character. Aside from a few ""voices"" and ""corpses"", there are only two characters here, and pretty much just one. That's okay. It makes this more of a stage play set in outer space, but with some action replacing dialog. This has always been big with directors, to have just one or two characters. The problem is that if you just develop one or two characters, you better use the hour or more of developing to do a fantastic job, because there's no excuse otherwise. The character development falls very flat, and honestly a good writer could do this much in a ten minute short story. That's not to say it's a bad film. It is watchable, the story is good enough, and the director succeeds in an obvious, although somewhat expository attempt at showing the reality of floating in Space. The ""reality"" theme of space is efficient, but also looks contrived to fit an agenda, contrived to fit the scenario. Not as contrived as most Hollywood movies, however. The acting is sub par. Two huge names, but little talent. This would have been much better with two completely unknown theater majors or graduates who were more theater and less Hollywood, because the director obviously wanted this to be ""more theater and less Hollywood"", but the acting foiled any chance this had to be spectacular. A lot of it is poor dialog. Very ""formula"" dialog, which is okay if you're going ""Hollywood"" or ""James Bond"", but not if you're attempting reality Drama. The premise is good, the logistics work well, and technically this is fine, and it isn't a total waste. It just isn't anything more than a very definitive 6/10.",6 "Two seasons was good enough. Did their best to stretch out the ""story"" into 8 episodes and make a full season, but this could have been a 1.5 hour movie and be done with it. Just another Netflix series to take up my time, instead of entertainment.",1 "The music is really annoying, really boring series,not sure why so many people like it",1 "The trunk scene , the funny characters , use of vintage music ,connection of stories really reminded me of 'pulp fiction 'and also guy ritche's 'snatch '",9 The story at first takes a bit of time open up a bit to the audience. By the end of the season you want more. A really good show,9 "Foul mouthed, bleak and filthy show. To compare this show to the beauty that is Lord of the rings, as some people do, would be comparing a silk purse to a Sow's ear. I admit I know nothing about The Witcher series, I don't care to read the book. Maybe the books are better but I only care to rate the Netflix adaptation. The Netflix adaptation threw f-bombs and foul language that was completely unnecessary and didn't even fit in the period that this is supposedly taking place in. If you have to have foul language to make your show interesting, that means you have no class and you are not counting on your plot being captivating. They didn't need foul language to be interesting 25 years ago in movies! What's happened to us? At one point the show was even trying to romanticize sibling incest. Gross! No way, I don't accept that. I held on and tried to ignore how basically unlikable everybody is with the exception of The Witcher, especially humans. But my interest burned out the minute that the overall savior or great magical sorceress that I guess the show is waiting on is Ciri, a teenager. As a woman, I'm sick and tired of the feminist dominated storyline where we need a strong independent woman saving the day. Women are not somehow stronger characters if they are imbued with magic, and I'm definitely not ecstatic to see that the world's fate is placed in the hands of a young kid. The plot line has been beaten to death. About halfway through the series I decided I couldn't handle it anymore. There's just not enough good to keep going. Henry Cavill is a beautiful man, but he was the only character in the show that I liked, and he's not enough to hang on. Rings of power is better than this nonsense.",3 "Not being a massive, Die-Hard fan of Iron-Man has enabled me to (I think) walk into these films with a sense of perspective. I haven't obsessed over trailers or watched any pre-release clips on purpose, in order to allow some surprises. Don't get me wrong: I am a huge Superhero fan, and have in the past, watched the iron-Man cartoon, but that's it. My over-all impression of this film is that it's bigger, brighter, bolder and dumber than the first film. That's not a criticism. the first film had a degree of suspensions of disbelief that were contextually acceptable. With the second film, everything has been ramped up. The action is bigger, the plot: bigger, the characters: larger, the threat: larger and this all amplifies what was great about the first film. It also does the same for the bad. With that said: the good far outweighed the bad in the first one and it's still the case with this one. It's just that the weak parts of the film are larger and more obvious this time round. The performances were great, of course, aside from Scarlett Johanson who just looked out of place throughout in my opinion. Go see it. You will like it. But Dark Knight it ain't (despite trying to better the number of cars Batman blew up).",8 Really enjoyed this! Was a bit confused in the beginning! Looking forward a season 2,9 "As i expected, pure propaganda. Can't continue watching it. The acting is decent, but the agenda behind it is what makes most of it irrelevant. USSR was clearly no picnic, bit the way they are presented here is disgusting. For example, the decision to evacuate it did not take this long. In fact the evacuation was ordered as soon as they saw that the high level of radiation can not be contained. Did they try to cover it up? Of course. World powers always try to cover their problems. This never changes. However they did not sacrafice their people for it. I know i will get a lot of minuses here, i always do when i call out propaganda shows. But don't let that fool you into thinking that this is a documentary.",2 "+/ Good end. Short episodes. Interesting subject. -/ Bad light (white tones). Complicated history. Too close-up.",8 "It's been a long long time since there was such terrible writing in a main stream show. No body talks like a person, but it's also not written in a stylized way that makes it charming or special. The filmmaking is unimaginative crap that makes everything feel consequently fake. The way it's filmed makes every actor look incredibly stilted and wooden. Wednesday feels no different than most of the other characters. The word meaningless doesn't begin to cover how empty and joyless this show is. Jenna Ortega is perfect for the role but a bunch of phonies made everything else so fake and empty that there is no enjoying her performance. Even her great dance routine with ruined by unmotivated writing and bad filmmaking. Also they need to chill it with the Danny Elfman music. Having every scene have wall to wall music makes it just tiring. Be meh, do not watch.",2 "Season 1 was alright... super confusing and all over the place but it was alright. Season 2 was a Terminator 2 plot. Complete with child that can save or destroy the future and the strong protector to well protect the child. I have to admit I've seen that same plot recently but done much better in a show called ""Into the Badlands"" that was cancelled. Actually Into the Badlands is just like The Witcher complete with magic abilities except the fighting and acting are so so so much better and also the plot makes so much more sense and well it was a much better show in general. What gets me about the Witcher is that it attempts to be too much like Game of Thrones with the politics,war, princesses and kingdoms nonsense. Also the main character ""The Witcher"" himself is kind of 2 dimensional. This series just isn't anything exactly new but it has a big budget and decent special effects. The problem I find with it though is that it has a terribly confusing plot that jumps around and well it becomes very boring at times. There are too many ""talking scenes"" which are mostly nonsensical rambling about magic kingdoms and politics (Basically it's like watching a congressional meeting live). Some of the characters seem a bit miscasts like ""Yennefer"" who just isn't attractive enough to play the role and looks odd when coupled with Jim Caviezel who is clearly a more attractive person than her. You're kind of left wondering why is he so head over heals with a woman that looks a step above average when every other woman he comes into contact with is more attractive than her? It really is distracting because in the books and games Yennefer looks like a top model beauty. She should look more like Megan Fox since that's the closest person to how the character looks in the games. Perhaps that sounds unfair to be so harsh but Yennefer's attractiveness is a good chunk of the main plot and story line and when they botch that it just seems weird. Especially when the men she mets refer to her as a ""Great beauty"" and they'll literally be standing next to a woman that looks better than her. It's kind of funny. Not to pick on that character but other miscastings seem to be dang near every other character on this show. Some actors are good some are bad. Some look the part and some don't. It's such an oddly cast show for a series like this. So far this is like a B-movie version of Game of Thrones with bad casting. It's not terrible but it can be overly boring. It feels like the best episodes are always the 1st episode and last episode of the season... everything else in between is like one long filler.",6 "This movie lacked everything that made its predecessor Infinity War so great. The comedic take on Thor was the worst part of the whole 22 movie franchise. The pace of the movie was slow and boring. Overall, this movie is one big disappointment.",2 "Terrible pacing. Charactacter development, writing, cinematography, you name it. This is what happens when you spend all your budget on the main actor and only have peanuts left for everything else. The Witcher thinks it's a way better show than it is.",3 "What the hell is this film about? Assuming its setting us up for the next installment, then its done its job well. There were so many sub plots, introducing new characters merely for the sake of it making the plot convoluted and difficult to follow. Having said all that aesthetically its visually stunning. It's everything you expect from this franchise (and possibly more), with CGI in nearly every scene. All the characters are played well with probably Depp as the standout (even if he looked bored with his character). All in all it's still worth a gander at, even if its baiting you for the third.",7 "The film was being shown for the first time on the BBC today. I was greatly enjoying it until there was an unexpected musical accompaniment in one scene towards the end and that ruined the film for me then. I had to pause it so I could skip the scene. Why the music? As yet I haven't seen the rest of the film. I am writing this to express my anger and give some time for my pvr to record enough so that I can skip perhaps to the end of the film now, I don't know it I'll get back into it now or not. The film was all about how two people cope with something unexpected. Two people in an immense and unfathomable war that no one really understood, not even the generals.",6 Though SRK has Gave us a dozen of awesome movies..but this one is really different. You will feel each and every emotion depicted by the characters of the movie. From the starting you will have a smile on your face and in the end you'l end up having tears in your eyes.You would never want this movie to be finished. The god of acting and The king of Bollywood has done it again. Srk has an image of being romantic hero but this time he has done something different.His acting skills will make you fall in love with Gaurav. You will not be able to decide who's point of view is correct either Gaurav or Aryam but that's the magic of this movie. If you want something different from Indian cinema i.e not typical drama movies then this movie is surely for you. Go and watch it now.,10 "As someone who has read all the books and adored the first Fantastic Beast, I felt they dropped the ball with this movie. Every HP book/movie so far had a story to tell on it's own, as well as being part of a bigger story arc. The Crimes of Grindelwald is weird as it feels like episode 1 and 2 of your new favourite tvseries. However whilst you normally only have to wait until next week (or bingewatch the whole thing on Netflix), for this one you have to wait more than 2 years. It's a beautiful looking film, with enough lore to keep fans thrilled for days and is worth the watch. But if your (companion) not aware of everything Harry Potter, be ready for a slow movie with an unfulfilling cliffhanger.",7 "Well-acted and filmed series that turns into an increasingly annoying pointless confusion. An atmosphere even if well-crafted cannot sustain a series through years. It glamorizes drug addiction and is like a drug habit itself: early on exciting in its flashy and disorienting novelty, but its lack of coherence and purpose gets boring and depressing. I hit rock bottom with it and am quitting.",4 "This movie far exceeded my expectations. The effects were improved, along with the humor, romance, and conflict between Spiderman and his loved ones and enemies. The only fear I have is that there is no way director Sam Raimi can top this effort with the next installment. Details of the movie were given in many of the other reviews, so I won't waste your time. I'm just going to leave it at this: Spiderman 2 is one for the ages. I was never a fan of the comic book, yet I'll will be making many return trips to the theater this summer to see it over and over again; it's that good. Just a side note: went onto the internet to read approximately 10 reviews or so from sources such as Chicago Sun, E! Online, Ebert and Roper, etc... and couldn't find 1 review less than an A, or 4 stars. How could so many critics be wrong? They're not...",10 "Having literally closed my browser on the final episode of season 2 I am so happy that this series is holding up the high standard set in Season 1. It's gory, funny, full of in fighting and I am not sure there is a weak character in it, some are superflous (get it?) sure, but the key cast all do exemplory jobs. The script is tight, the action is short, sharp and hard hitting in more ways than one. Overall though, it is the plotline that has surprised me. I really did wonder where they could take this 'sup universe' but so far, so (insert Billy Butcher explitive) good. Not for kids and unashamedly so! Keep up the good work!",9 "This was clearly written by someone using TV Tropes as a how-to guide. Every imaginable cliche in the book, combined with all the nonsense we've come to expect from modern television. No wonder everyone in this looks worn-out. Still, they aren't as worn-out as the plots and set pieces are.",3 I see a bunch of comments saying its family friendly. It is not. This movie is definitely not for kids who get scared easily. The demons who attack in the movie can be very frightening. I took my 3 kids. They all wanted to leave. Remember the director of this film is known for horror films not comedy.,6 "Saturday night, I made a bowl of popcorn, and signed up for a seven-day trial period of Showtime (notating on my calendar when I should cancel if I didn't wish to pay $10.99). The plan was to watch ""Everything Everywhere..."", an Oscar nominated movie. It was going to be great! The opening was promising, fast moving, colorful with multiple things going on, interesting characters, eating, talking, customers in the laundromat etc. I laughed and felt optimistic about the film. And then a family trip to the IRS, but I'll say no more so as not to ruin ""the plot"". Jamie Curtis was funny, as some sort of odd cartoon-like caricature of an ugly, older woman, government official. But then the movie slips seriously into that alternate people, universes, broom closet, who know what reality......and then some sort of kung fu martial arts thing with people flying around in the air, and by that time I was losing interest. It's starts to get confusing..How does one get into that alternate universe? By chewing chapstick or pushing the green light on your headphone...and then looking at your cellphone for the GPS coordinates?. (Did the app come from the Apple store?). You know how four year old children in nursery school like to dress up and run around acting out some plot, that no adult can understand, but makes perfect sense to them? One might have a cape on, the other with a fairy tiara and tutu, the other has found a toy sword and plastic knight's armor vest. They run around, calling after each other, hiding and pretending to fight some imaginary enemy. It's amusing for adults to watch for a few minutes, but usually the game goes on for about ten minutes or less, not one and a half hours. That is how I feel about the characters and plot of the movie. It seems to turn into some sort of cartoon/action/matrix-like film and as another reviewer said, I think viewers in general don't want to admit it's hard to understand. At some point I fell asleep, unintentionally. That pretty much sums up the film for me. I might give it one more try before my ""free trial"" expires.",2 "I loved The Island. I even enjoyed Transformers, despite the ever-annoying John Turturro. But now Michael Bay has become a bad SNL parody of himself. He has totally foregone any semblance of storytelling (I even had to watch the first five minutes a second time to figure out the basic premise) and given us a string of incoherent, abysmally edited ""action"" scenes that are ultimately one huge snoozefest because, well, who cares? If you love chase scenes, edgy humour and explosions, rent some Road Runner cartoons instead - they're far superior to this compost heap.",1 Henry Cavill is very good! Story is confusing since sometimes it feels like time traveling or watching the episodes in random order.,8 "LovabLe characters, good and suspense script and some nice special effects. The only minor objection is that it is a bit too much of good-feeling family show as no important character dies or gets lost. I mean you don't need to go the GOT way where main characters die from one second to the other, but a bit more drama would have made this one even better. And yes, I know it is a remake but still the suspense gets killed a bit of you know that everything always works out and ends good. And by the way: you can't fly to alpha centauri - it's a star.",8 "I was very exciting about this show, but after the last episode I become disappointed. Don't get me wrong. The first episode of Black Mirror was a pleasure, while the second was absolute disappointment. The pilot hooked me so strong that I recorded it, while the second episode throw me away after 20 minutes of watching. I hoped that it will continue that excitement and great story from pilot, but it failed. I will not spoil here about the plot, but the first episode is all that is worth to see Black Mirror. I just hope that the third episode will bring back that good feeling as it was at the start. I could not find much of information about the show, nor there are many of reviews there, nor ratings here on IMDb, but if I could conclude something about this series from first episode, it is the great critique on today's society, especially to the Government apparatus. I like the idea how they represent protest to the leading structure.",9 "The Winter Soldier is the best sequel possible to the Captain America story arc. With fast and furious combat scenes, as well as some spy intricacies, Marvel has made a movie that has become a stand out, in the sense that it offers a slightly different product. After being frozen for 70 years, Steve Rogers must now find a way to live in the modern world by coping with the changes occurred and his perception of things like they are. He is being used as an asset for SHIELD in missions but doesn't seem to fully agree with some of Nick Fury's more obscure intentions. When SHIELD becomes compromised by the resurgence of HYDRA, Cap, Black Widow & Falcon are framed for Director Fury's death and in the process are declared fugitives. Now they must find a way to overtake HYDRA, which means a confrontation with The Winter Soldier, who is incarnated by Bucky Barnes, Rogers's old friend, and may even mean the destruction of SHIELD itself. Captain America may in fact present itself as an Superhero Action flick, with great emphasis on Action. The fight sequences in the film are quite possibly the best Marvel Studios has created. Knifes, guns, punches, kicks, etc. The fights are entertaining as is the overall presentation of the confrontations. The political and surveillance themes in the story are a good backdrop in the movie as they show us what a character like Captain America has to deal with. I usually tend to give the acting a pass in comic book movies, as long as it's not totally incompetent. In this movie I would say the veteran Redford was very natural and charismatic in his role and the one who stood out. The Winter Soldier is definitely a Marvel movie worth seeing as it brings great excitement and a solid plot to the table. As a fan of these movies, I can't wait to see more from Marvel and I sincerely hope they keep up the good work. Rating: 8/10",9 "i really liked this movie when i got it for a present!! the acting is great, brilliant effects and o yes it has Kirsten Dunst!! i really enjoyed the first film where Spiderman defeated Norman Osbourne is the Green Goblin!! now he is back Peter Parker is having guilt over he was the reason for his uncle Ben's death, he's now at university and he is lacking grades, friends and money. he is always late for class and he loses his job at the pizza place!! Mary Jane is the only girl of his dreams and he is always trying to get her to be his girl!! Now there is a new enemy called Doc Ock and he is causing havoc with is mechanical tentacles!! Anyway this movie is great and i don't want to say what happens in the end! but during the film its all like "" i love u Mj"" "" i love u 2 peter Parker"" its quiet sickening cause it happens throughout the movie!!!! anyway i recommend this film to Spideyfans !!!! i also say go and buy the game its great!!!",7 "This movie is dull and extraordinarily disappointing. Maybe my expectations were too high. Deakins cinematography is the only reason this film is somewhat watchable. I can't fathom what awards season saw in this. Academy Awards once again has proven to be about releasing your film in December, regardless of its quality. This movie is not worthy of the accolades it is receiving. The main character stumbles into the end result the same way he stumbled through every challenge in this film. The most compelling characters are the A-listers that sneak themselves in and command every scene away from our protagonist. Highly disappointed in making time to see this in theaters.",6 "Annoying characters, seemingly the most intelligent humans from Earth sent to colonise another planet yet repeatedly make irrational, stupid, emotion based decisions against all logic. It looks great but is frankly stupid. Dr Smith is the worst character I have ever seen in a series, no one questions her or her motives, everyone seems susceptible to her manipulation and her past actions just seem forgotten.",3 Well acted but I like dialogue and there is almost none. Stereotypical characters in second episode contrast with more interesting characters in first episode.,7 "This movie is stupid on so many ways, it's almost funny. Almost. It's so badly written, looks like the script was made by a 12 year old D student. Nothing makes goddamn sense in this movie. It's just puke. And the shooting looks is worse, so much shaky cam and you don't really make sense of what is happening. Don't watch this.",1 "I was truly impressed with the magnificent cinematography and superb animation of this extravaganza. The mighty –yet peaceful smurfs of James Cameron, supported by such notable voices as Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver, live in the Land of Blue-Oz. They really don't do much other than ride around on Star War figures and fly huge scaly mosquitoes and talk some stupid made up gibberish. The happy-go-lucky residents of Blue-Oz are living their meaningless lives in the jungles of stupid, when some evil no-good Marine working for the evil corporation drops in unannounced and starts digging around for Unobtanium, or Unacquirable, or Not-getting-anium, and just messes up their entire social structure. What is even worse, the Marine (Sam Worthington) is transformed into a cartoon – ahem – to play amongst the other blue cartoon characters. Smurf me with your best shot. I was so smurfing confused by all of what was happening. Well the plot goes on from there with all sorts of goofy Tarzan screams and smurf-onics, waking and sleeping, yelling and whispering, tail entanglements and monkey-walking. Finally we find that it just so happens that the tree that Papa-Smurf planted so long ago is the same, exact location of this very rare stuff. From this point they could have mined the plot and found plenty of Unobtanium. This movie had potential…and it is obvious kids who have not yet left home - really liked this flick. If a person dislikes all things corporate (wakey – wakey Johnny – that DOES include Hollywood) and has a great disdain for the military…this will be your cup of tea. For me…anything Cameron does now-a-days is a waste of time.",2 "I will go over the overall show and won't dive deep into explaining the plot to avoid spoilers for the people show haven't watched it. Anyway... I consider myself a pretty experienced person when it comes to animation and this is one of the few shows that Impressed me with every single part of it! Cool and original idea? Check Astonishing character designs and animation? Check A minimal amount of fillers and a dynamic and interesting plot? Check Stunning world building? Check Great characters? Check Amazing redemption arc? Check Addresses deep issues in an easy to understand way? Check It also has its own original ideas that made the show so unique such as characters and the wild based in different cultures that help to bring a very unique vibe to the show and I loved it! Honestly if you breathe you will love this show!",10 "This was an okay movie, not that I would have watched with the benefit of hindsight. It contained some elements that I liked, namely it was quite fast paced and peppered with some juicy justice, remarkably lacking in violence, from the part of apes that is. For years the anthropologists have wondered, why the evolution favored the less agile and slow way of walking on two legs, instead of four. I guess the evolution made a mistake. We can all see it firsthand in this movie, when the apes move around speedily with ease, overpowering the firepower of the police force, who inflict remarkably little damage on the apes - even with a chopper. It's also a cautionary tale of how far the science can get you. I should call it the 'scientific-industrial establishment', whose carelessness and disregard (in the film) for procedure caused the ape race to become supreme. The film itself doesn't emphasize the bad quality of relations between humans and apes. Anyhow, it doesn't matter how unbelievable all of it sounds. When watching the movie, the evolution of the story sounded pretty good. It even has its cast of evil characters. If they'd only been less evil, all of us would be saved from our destiny in the hands of the apes.",4 "Someone must have paid a lot of money to skew this movie's rating upward. Way down there amongst the worst movies I've watched. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME",2 "As a kid I've loved pirates and adored pirate-movies, as growing up I do not even know how many times I saw the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, how often I quarreled about it. Man, this was my favorite movie. When the fourth Film was released, I wanted to watch the first one to get rid of the bad taste and the terrible memory of all the other movies. I took her on a weekend time, put myself in the right mood, had a big plate of pancakes on my table and saw, after a long time, the ""Pirates of the Caribbean 1"" again in the atmospheric light with my freshly purchased boxes and the best sound... And Now: The plot is relatively complicated tolled for such a simple pirate adventure, all locations look quite chic so I think it's a shame how much time on the water or on ships spend. The special effects are pretty cool, I like the eerie atmosphere and the actors manage to convey it correctly, making you feel like you're part of it. Even the costumes and make-up contribute to the impression that I do not see actors but I really see these characters. I think Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush were born for these roles. I'm sooo happy to see again Disney movie with action and sword fight instead of musical numbers. But: This movie was just below my expectations. It was not so exciting, not so cool, not so funny, not so thoughtful and not as creative as I thought or remembered. And to my astonishment, the movie is not nearly as good... as I thought. The movie was still good but, maybe I had lower demands as a kid, maybe the movie is still good but my taste and expectations are now too high, maybe the movie was never good was never that good to begin with and as a kid I tolerated it more or anything else happened so I can say today this movie is just OK.",6 Most the movie is Adam Sandler yelling and everyone yelling over him. I love Adam Sandler. Wanted to like this movie so much. Just couldn't. Turned it off halfway in. It was that bad.,2 "Russo duo has brilliantly handled the Huge star-cast of Superheroes. Director used them very efficiently in tight script. Ant-man and Spider man have come as surprise package. Performance wise everyone has given their best. Action sequences were really awesome since from beginning to climax. Climax action sequences were really breath taking. For Cinematography perspective, you will have tour of really amazing locations across the globe. Chris and Robert are sure shot winner. Inclusion of Iron man's story was great. Visual effects were really terrific. You will miss Hulk and Thor in this movie. Eagerly waiting for next installment and more action.",9 "The first 2 seasons were awesome, I was totally hooked. Very intrtreging and kept your attention through out. Waiting intensely for each next episode. Season 3...eh!!! Not so much. Episode 1 was soooooo boring, I left it numerous times to watch something else. Dredging through, I returned to continue watching it.... The 3 rd season thus far moved soo slow for anything exciting and seriously, nothing exciting ever happened. So sorry. Episode 2 and 3 offered little more excitement. I seriously doubt I will continue watching anymore of this show. Not sure what happened that it clearly went off the cliff .... Totally boring, very slow moving, no excitement at all. Sad, cause I was enjoying it. Oh well... On to another show!!!",5 "I adore this serie! It's sooo funny and interesting, and the actuation is *💋*!!! Y'all should watch it right now! 10/10!!",10 "Season One, I would give it a 9. Season Two, I would give it a 1.",7 "Is is a masterpiece of how to turn a ugly stuff into an desirable beauty. I ended up cooking and cleaning while watching it. next time, i'll put some good music or take a book instead.",3 "Horror film fans, if you've been sleeping on this film, like I had been, watch it ASAP! Don't watch the trailer. Go in fresh, without any major knowledge of the plot. The genre hardly gets it right lately - most films rely on jump scares, there's a old bungalow where people HAVE TO go in the night, and the ghost has a sad backstory of how it was wronged and so on. Not this one. Talk To Me (TTM) is an Aussie film, made by Youtuber brothers, that was unlike any other horror film I've watched in recent times, except the fact that there's a medium used to talk to the ghosts - you may have watched several of these in which the group uses an Ouija board. Other than that, all new IMO. Don't watch the trailer, I am not including anything about the plot here. Go watch it for the ride that this takes you on and makes you question what all of this was really about. Admittedly, I thought it was a good movie until I started reading up on everything I missed and it had me :O at the amount of thought put into it from a writing standpoint. So - brilliant writing. There's a decent amount of commentary on several things I'd never thought a horror film would touch upon in this manner. Acting - phenomenal. I loved the cinematography in this film, there's a particular scene in which a character is sleeping in the bed. The camera tilts and starts panning and the bed becomes a wall and the character is walking and there's sunlight.... HOW!? Did they film that!? Great sound design, adds value. And it has an ending that'll have you talking. Those of you who are on the fence about watching a horror film in the night, I don't think there's enough 'horror' that would dictate you watching this with daylight, so have at it! Of course, it's subjective and I prefer watching them in the night so it's probably easy for me to say that. But regardless, watch it! You're missing out.",9 "Such a great show, it's so sick but so interesting. I love most of the stories! Metalhead in S4 was awful. Worth a watch, check it out people! It's on netflix and it's really really good!!!!",9 "Watched first episode of the series and found it to be one of the most vile, disgusting and disturbing things I've ever seen. As bad as ""Caligula"" and ""Salo"" w/o being explicit. To what end? We don't already know that the collision of 24/7 media and fickle public opinion leads to terrible situations and political chaos? That we can't turn away from watching horrifying world events? Who doesn't know that already? I embrace plenty of ""disturbing"" movies and TV shows when the ideas and themes enlighten on some level; but this was just the worst!! Maybe the other episodes are better, but I don't intend to find out.",1 "I will say I found some of the acting a little meh but after awhile it made the characters seem a little more genuine. I just finished watching the show and was sad to find out there will be no more episodes. I will give Defenders a try but I don't hear anyone talking about this one. I am what I refer to as a patient tv watcher. I don't have time to watch everything thats out now and get to it eventually. Would totally recommend this to anyone who likes action, martial arts (the choreography in this was amazing, it looked like the actors were really beating the hell out of each other), story is pretty good and there is a really good bad guy which is what makes or breaks a good vs bad type show like this.",8 "It's a tale of contempt and corruption, extortion and fraud and disruption, the dinosaurs roam, testosterone foams, below the streets, where the sewers and the rats run. The overwhelmingly brilliant performance comes from Al Pacino, although he would go on to play the same character in most of his future films, and the rest of the cast essentially play themselves or a role they would also perpetually play, just watch any and all of their subsequent offerings. Does it work as well today? I'm not sure it survives the test of time as well as other films of the era or before, some of the editing jumps about erratically and women are generally treated like brood mares who live in ignorance of their surroundings - just as long as there's a good sing song, a dance, and a cake, at a christening or a wedding even better. I fondly remember Edward G. Robinson films being better than this, Jimmy Cagney even, George Raft was the best mob villain by a country mile.",7 I saw this at the cinema. The most interesting thing that happened when I did is that the advert for popcorn and stuff kept playing over the top of the film. The popcorn advert was more watchable and entertaining than the film.,3 "Problem with Hollywood filmmakers is that they think of some niche, obscure topic and go: ""Oh maybe we should make a film about it"" Why should I care? Why is this a movie that everone needs to see? Just like Barbenheimer these are nothing but marketing hype with A-list celebrities. LOVE Matt Damon but he doesn't do well in these type of roles. Christian Bale rocks, but perhaps this is not the right role for him. As I said. The arrogance of Hollywood to think just because someone made a story about Truman Capote, John Malkovich or say a fictional account of a female Gucci member.... or some weird obscure niche topic and they think people should all sign up en masse. Boring premise to begin with. (To be fair I watched most of the movie from the back of a plane with subtitles on. But still it is not a premise to get excited about.)",1 """Now You See Me"" has such a great hook - an illusionist ""Ocean's Eleven"" - but it also has serious problems. One of them is that for such a sterling cast, there's very little in the way of likable characters. One, actually, and he takes the fall in the end. But it's hard to see good actors playing awful characters (Woody Harrelson's the one who escapes largely unscathed because he's Woody Harrelson) and it speaks to the flimsy writing. This movie plays fast and loose with internal consistency, straining credibility way beyond acceptable limits. I could even stomach the completely artificial ending if the rest of the movie was grounded in some kind of reality. But all of the tricks and sleights of hand are just flashy effects - these people are more superheroes than magicians. It all really comes down to having a laugh at your audience, which this movie does with glee. Add in the intolerable smugness, A.D.D. camera-work and editing and this isn't an ounce of fun. 4/10",4 "Margot Robbie is beautiful, Ryan Gosling adds a necessary comic relief but it is no where near enough to save this train-wreck. The Movie started off strong and I was excited to see where they would take it. Then once Barbie goes to the real world it all falls apart. The parts with Ruth the creator of Barbie seemed depressing and out of left field. Barbie was created to be anything and then it evolves into basically being anti-barbie and against all the positives of Barbie. They spent the whole movie talking about it and then end it with the opposite. I don't get it! It was also sad and not funny.",2 "some of my friends brought this movie to class and we watched together in meaning of speak and argue about it in the end all of us were disappointment this was my first time that I was seeing Ben Affleck's acting and it was really awful and he looked like a goddamn robot that has no feeling and doesn't care about other countries people spoke of people, they show ordinary people like terrorists that if they had a knife they will cut Americans flushes and will eat them in the end I am sorry that they ruined and Academy Awards RELIABILITY and CINEMA with their filthy politics and built a movie on their hate on Iran because they want to be free and doesn't obey America's orders",1 This is what you get when you take MODERN CAPITALISM to the EXTREME! PYRAMID SCHEME AT ITS FINEST! MONEY is all they want! The Epistemic nature to it all is SURVIVAL and COMFORT. Hollywood DOES not CARE about human behaviour or THE ARTS OF FILM! Nooooo....as long as it makes MONEY!!,3 "Sorry to say I hated it . As a gay man i love a bit of camp and irony and adore stories like Toy Story and Shrek and one of my favourite films ever is Baz Lurman's Moulin Rouge but this was just vacuous and appalling scripted and mediocre at best . It wasn't oily and savage enough for a Brit like me who grew up on Monty Python and ridiculous comedy or satire enough , satire has to be dead pan to make it credible whereas this pile of poo meandered around endlessly looking for a joke and misfiring on many occasions . As a gay man i did like Ken's cowboy hat and could appreciate the ludicrous nature of the urban cowboy and had that one laugh at that moment but the rest i endured . I rarely walk out of a movie but really had to try hard to stay to the bitter end .",2 "Samuel L. Jackson plays the same character he does in every movie he has ever made, an angry, 90 pound man with a walker who talks tough.How does this guy keep getting cast as a tough guy?! There are a few good parts, they are in the previews. Nice car and some cheezy 80s dialogue don't make a good movie. This movie bombed in the theater and was pulled early to skip pay-per-view and go straight to DVD. Story about the son of Shaft looking for Dad to help him out with a case. BORING. (Oh, and the 10 ratings are company men and the ratings that say any negative rating is racist or is by snowflakes, that's not how any of this works). Skip this and see EQUALIZER again!",3 "Such a beautiful movie it's... Great message to society... Excellence in every part of the movie...For a dog lover like me, everything they do looks cute, because I have different level of connection with them. But there is indeed difference between cute and perfect. I was just amazed everytime and was experiencing goosebumps just by seeing Charlie's art, and yes it was not difficult to understand what she was trying to express. In the world where it's difficult to understand human beings, who will not be amazed by seeing how well a dog can express such a humour so gracefully? Yes, dogs connect with humans but, at this well? Every shot charlie has given for this movie is mesmerizing. Most of her scenes made me cry like a baby. She indeed was a masterpiece. Rakshit Shetty was lit🔥",10 "Considering the magnificence of Coogler's Fruitvale Station -- a deeply moving piece of art -- it's hard to understand how this movie could exert so little effort in even the most rudimentary building up of characters and stakes that matter to those characters and to the audience. I could not figure out who I was supposed to root for or why. And then there's the credibility of this country that is sort of known about in the outside world and sort of not known about, and glowing blue airships taking off over American cities with only a couple of kids in a basketball court noticing. And how exactly does the Vibranium economy work and enable the building of those magnificent skyscrapers? (Two stars instead of one is because of the gorgeous exhilarating shot of the ship landing in the city for the first time.) And why on a movie of this budget couldn't somebody hire a really good dialect coach to get the accents uniform and convincing? Given the billion dollars and the worldwide acclaim I must be wrong. Or maybe I was out of the room when they did the hypnotizing.",2 """Ignore the critics"" if you want. But this movie is average, if not boring. I prefer the spider man, the old one. Plot is mediocre and nothing new, acting is fine, can't say it's outstanding. Good for time killing and just that. Like it or not, I don't care, but 7.0 is overated.",4 "Sandra Bullock was at her usual best, the storyline was fresh and engaging and the action was intense. For some reason I just felt like it wasnt an overly engaging film. It must have been the lack of solid dialogue.",7 "I was really disappointed with this film after all of the pre-DVD launch hype and good IMDb ratings. Apart from a very few funny moments, which I still laugh about now when I reflect on them. The start to the film is reasonable, but again has been hyped as fantastic by reviews all over. there is the odd funny reference to other Vietnam type films, but i still can't fail to see why it has all been hype'd up. In my opinion the Tropic Thunder start is smashed apart by the similar scripted element in Appocalypse Now! I believe that Tropic Thunder, again in my opinion, is a very poor film trying to make money more on the marketing and hype surrounding it. Don't let this put you off watching it, but if you want my advise rent it instead of buying it.",2 "'Now You See Me' is a disappointingly thin magic sketch which implies great complexity and intrigue but only offers a quick flick of the brush and a inconclusive plot line. Jesse Eisenberg, Dave Franco, Woody Harrelson and Isla Fisher are ""The Four Horsemen"" - a group of famous magicians who get sucked into controversy when they 'rob' a french bank of all its millions in a large scale magic performance. However, as they catch the interest of the CIA, they are forced on the run whilst performing these controversies. Why are they performing these tricks? What do they have in common. Well, when you discover the answers to these questions, you will most definitely have lost interest and the conclusions are confused and a little ridiculous anyhow. Also following in the final few minutes is a nifty twist which you won't see coming as it is a far too flawed one. The pace of the story is too fast and for a movie that promises so much complexity and intelligence, the formula of the film in general is too linear and lacks the oomph which separates the average movies from the great ones. It's comparable to drawing the outline of a house but not sketching out the rooms, there's plenty of good ideas which aren't really polished. On the brighter side, the acting is superb from ""The Four Horsemen"" quartet while Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo and Melanie Laurent also keep the standards high. The first half of the movie is sound also. Still, nothing to make it stand out from 2013's other movies on the box office.",5 "I was really excited about this, really don't enjoy teen dramas and/or high school bs. But this had potential to be interesting. Blood, gore and everything brutal and wicked The Boys has to offer is in Gen V. Everything is on point. However the only characters I wanted to see and get invested in was Luke and Sam. I really don't care about the blood girl. Her character is boring and stupid. They should have been focusing on Luke and Sam. Blood girl is more like a side character but in this show she is the ""main"" character. Odd choice really. Trailers gave the impression that Golden Boy was the main character or atleast the most interesting one. Will not continue watching.",4 "The combination of drugs, sex and money does not make a watchable movie. Martin Scorsese is trying his hackneyed formula again and with disastrous results. While there is competent acting all around but the lure of money and the frequent use of the F word does not make a winning formula. The movie drags for most of the time and come to a predictable close, the plot is without surprises and drags most of the time. Poor effort from the Director who gave us Goodfellas and Departed, looks like he is running out of ideas now.The sex and drug taking scenes are too explicit and definitely not suitable for most audiences. Just don't see this movie, its money down the drain",5 "An one line story. A teen mistaken dead, gets back home with the company of a Wolf. Pros: Good VFX. Cons: Storyline does not have major suspense or adrenaline pumping scenes. Its more of a drama than an adventure one. The wolf here is actually a dog. Would have been better if some other wolf breed is used. Verdict: Dog lovers would feel the connection but others wont be disaapointed as well. Score: 6.75 / 10",6 "Lol. This is the level of a ""really good and artistic, different from the comedies"" Adam Sandler movie? The story is fine, with elaborated and tied plot threads, but there is nothing about it besides that. The characters are disgusting or boring or awful or annoying. Often, all of that combined. Boring score, visually unappealing, ""realistic"" but also too basic dialogue, and little point to the story. I didn't enjoy it at all. If this is ""good Sandler"", then there is no reason for Sandler to be an actor anymore. The press was hyping this crap. Why?",2 "When I began watching it, I almost put down the screen, if not for the stories I had heard from my friends. If you are the patient type, then you probably wouldn't have any problem with the series. If not, well, perhaps another fantasy show would befit you.",7 First of all no offense to anyone who like this show but .but just don't like the annoying lead and same junkie approach to character they could have make character simple and story would work at it best the I seen writer is the lead ohh so that's were this junkie idea coming from,1 "I found this series in 2019 and first of all I thought: ""meh, just another one superhero project, Amazon like others tries to join to comics adaptation trend..."" - and particularly I was somewhere right, but I have never imagined that film/series by comics could be like this one. We just tired of Marvel/DC generic superhero projects, and 'The Boys' is some kind of a game changer. Anthony Starr's Homelander - perfect. Amost every his appearance in frame is a new templates for memes and gifs. But as usual, producers tries to get maximum profit from the show. Seasons 2 and 3 finale are the same. The creators are stretching the series for as many seasons as possible.",8 "Boring and too dramatic and .... ugh , just don't watch it .",5 "Very intense acting, captivating score, a bit loud and difficult to understand but I appreciated that it didn't feel too long.",6 "I could not watch all of this film - in fact I stuck it out for about 45 minutes before I threw in the hat. I kept saying to myself, ""This film won an Oscar for best original screenplay?"" I could not believe it. I could not believe that such a banal, vapid, incomprehensible and utterly dull script won an Oscar, but then Hollywood in general has descended into the lower depths of Hades where apparently it will languish forever. Sofia Coppola, of course, is a Coppola and a female and she can make a film. With credentials like those who cares if the film is a blistering bore with a storyline so whacked that trying to make sense of it is utterly impossible. Ms. Coppola knows nothing about life - like virtually all of the young people in Lotus Land - and because she knows nothing about life she couldn't tell the truth even if she were threatened with decapitation. Lost is a mish-mash of stupidity that ends up being blatantly racist toward the Japanese that is not just shocking but profoundly distasteful.",1 "Over 2 hours only with talk . The most boring movie ever made in the history. Wait wait wait. Talk talk talk . More talk talk talk . So boring .",3 Fantastic show!!! Gets better and better as it goes on.,9 "Happy Thanksgiving, Streamers! I am thankful for another Benoit Blanc murder mystery opening in theaters today and dropping on Netflix in December. Yes, the world renown detective with the deep Southern drawl has been enlisted to solve another complicated murder in the sequel to Knives Out, called Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Everyone was clamoring for more Benoit Blanc, and Rian Johnson has delivered. Here's whether this knife is sharp enough. Once again, Rian Johnson has written and directed a murder mystery featuring Daniel Craig's brilliantly daffy detective, Benoit Blanc. Johnson elevates the whodunnit genre with smart comedy and intricate plot machinations. There is a sprawling ensemble that includes the following: Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Leslie Odom, Jr., Kathryn Hahn, Janelle Monae, and Dave Bautista - along with other surprises. They are a group of friends who are drawn together for a weekend getaway/murder mystery party; but, of course, when Blanc is mysteriously invited along what was supposed to be a fun time among friends reveals something more dangerous lurking beneath. Murder and crime solving hijinks ensue. If you liked Knives Out, you will like Glass Onion. Whodunnit movies can be kind of formulaic and become stale. Rian Johnson found a way to shake up the conventions of the genre in Knives Out to make it feel fresh. The freshness that worked so well before is back again in Glass Onion. Even though murder mysteries have to hit the same beats, this plot and this ensemble have a different energy and point of view that keep the movie engaging and surprising throughout. The one quibble I have is that the first hour takes a lot of time to set up the pieces and introduce the characters. It's not slow per se, because it's still cleverly written, but the plot takes a while to kick in. As for the cast, Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig have found a funny and compelling character in Benoit Blanc, which makes the centerpiece of these movies very entertaining. Craig has both the necessary gravitas for a believable crime-solver, but he's just off-kilter enough to be silly without being ridiculous. I'll note that Janelle Monae is a standout. She gets to play both her poise and her humor. I know that Janelle has been good in other movies like Moonlight and Hidden Figures, but I forget that she has real movie star presence on the big screen. The remainder of the ensemble have good interplay and funny quirks that make each scene pop. Edward Norton is always fun in comedies and Kate Hudson has perfected ditzy without being a caricature. Side note: The costumes throughout are great and perfectly enhance each character. There is one costume reveal of a certain character that is so funny maybe only cinephiles will notice. Ultimately, Glass Onion has recaptured the fun and clever ride that Knives Out was. Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc is still funny with his ridiculous Southern drawl. The plot and ensemble here are engaging and the twists make the whodunnit just complicated enough to keep the audience on its toes. If you can catch it in theater this weekend, get a big box of popcorn and enjoy the return of the Knives Out universe; otherwise, make Glass Onion a number one priority when it premieres on Netflix.",9 "Hannibal is art. The visuals are just as compelling as the story itself. It Explores the darkest part of human nature while perfectly depicting the true desire for human connection... For those with dark humor this show is quite funny and entertaining as much as it is gruesome. The characters and dialogue are so intriguing. I love the chemistry between ALL the actors, but it's hard to tear yourself away from Hugh and Mads. It's a beautiful story between Will and Hannibal. It's probably the most rewatchable show I've ever seen due to the amount of detail and love in this show. I sincerely hope this show is picked up by a streaming service for a forth season. There is so much potential and love for this story.",9 "I know very little about the Witcher games other than watching friends play the odd time. So the amount of characters has been a bit tough to follow, and things do seem rushed. But as I have made my way though episodes, I have enjoyed it more and more. The action, effects, and what's been shown of the world so far are great. A downside of Game of Thrones is that it seems any fantasy show will be compared to it now. This isn't GOT and has a different feel and vibe to it. That's how it should be viewed. 1 ratings and 10 ratings are way to common on this site. How anyone could give this",7 "Netflix's new fantasy drama series The Witcher's key point in it's writing. The story starts in two separate time frames and that's why this series has to be watched very carefully. The female character is more energetic compared to the male character. All the actors have done their job excellent, especially Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. But still, you will have a lot of Confusions while watching the series because many stories are running simultaneously. If you are a fantasy drama lover, then you have to watch Netflix The Witcher.",8 """Just because an idea is overly convoluted and complex does not make it cool."" -Stan Marsh I would have to agree. Though this movie is visually appealing, the many twists and turns make it difficult to watch without getting a headache. It is a cool movie, entertaining at the least, but I don't get what the big hype is. Just another run of the mill action movie...But the acting was excellent and it had a very cool soundtrack, might be worth some peoples time, but in my opinion Nolan is nothing more than a less dull version of Michael bay. the only reason i say that is because there is at least an original plot, but an overly convoluted one that got everyone worked up. There are much better plots by more stylized and sophisticated directors that convey themes and messages much better through simplicity.",5 "The movie is good- the only thing keeping this from getting a higher rating from me is that the music is some serious buttrock. Bradley Cooper's solo songs could be pulled off of any Nickelback CD- seriously cheesy riffing over completely played out chords/ vocal melodies. Its hard to swallow, let alone believe in. In no believable world would these songs turn a man into a ""rockstar"". Lady Gaga's vocals are quite extraordinary, but her solo segments / songs are also sadly very cheesy. None of the song writing exhibits any real depth- everything sounds ""nice"" with an obvious intention of eliciting some sort of artificial emotion in the audience. There is a serious lack of depth in the songwriting exhibited in the entire movie, which is a glaring problem for me. Its basically a musical with bad music. So I ask you- what is the point?",5 "Try's to hard to be everything (adventurous, mystical, ancient Asia, Shalom priest, super hero, etc.) in way too short of time...",3 Best of bollywood..best of vicky kaushal.....goosebumps...... howz the josh. ?High sir!!!!!,10 "I really tried to get into this show for its first year or two. But I was only repeatedly reminded of how much better I enjoyed the 2006 TV series, ""Sons & Daughters"". Modern Family is a bit over-earnest -- it tries too hard in its originality -- and seems to concede to too many network television requirements in order to sustain itself to a broader, pop audience. The characters are more contrived and less creative than ""Sons & Daughters"", and the strain and weight keeps the show from taking off. Forced comedy is rarely good comedy. That said, Modern Family is still a decent show. When you contrast it with most of the formulaic sitcom driven that has dominated the airwaves for the past decade, it might seem like a revelation. But it lacks the greatness, lightness, and creative flair that Sons & Daughters had. I'm still not satisfied with its derivative replacement.",6 I believe stranger things is a show made to please the average audience,1 "I sat through 3 hours of this film last night and just could not believe how boring it was, and how it just was not any fun at all. Very little action, lots of brooding and the most boring Batman villain ever. Bane is a third rate Darth Vader, and his voice-over is mixed way too high; plus there is no motivation I could see for what he was doing. My 14 year old daughter was so bored also that she kept asking me when it was going to be over. I personally think this film is an early leader for this year's Razzies. Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Acting, and Worst Editing are some of the potential ""honors"" that immediately come to mind.",2 A brilliant multiplot storyline with Guy Rtichie like ending. I hope the the nepotism supporter crowd will ble able truly appreciate this great movie. It should go down the history line as one of the finest attempt in the genre of the dark comedy in bollywood.,10 "This is my first IMDB review and I absolutely must say that this show is not worthy of the low ratings. I am only guessing that the ones who weren't happy with this little gem are the older reviewers/ones who watched the original and therefore basing it on nostalgia and memories and while the sentiment is nice, that isn't quite fair to this particular series. I love sci-fi movies and shows and this one has its action moments, drama and comedy. As far as ""PC rubbish"" , I don't know about that. But if the folks that are complaining about PC rubbish mean the ethnically diverse actors- well that right there goes to show the demographic/age falls in line with the era of the original Lost in Space. I am a definitely going to give the original a spin after watching this. Give this one a watch! You may enjoy it!",5 Good movie with an interesting story. an entertaining watch. (1 viewing),6 It feels so forced. So many situations that could be easily resolved but they write in some dumb reason it can't be to try and add suspense or drama. Most of the characters are pretty cool but way under utilized. The general story is almost good but feels pretty lazy. Ellen Paige doesn't ruin the show but her scenes are pretty hard to watch...for the most part.,2 "This movie was built up to be the best of the year in Marvel series. Far from it. Was disappointed in the acting and the predictability. I like Black Panther the character, but not in this movie.",3 "After all the hype, this was very disappointing. Its all been said in other reviews. The story rambled and jumped around without any regard for continuity and plot or character progression. All the characters were one dimensional. The score seemed to be in competition with the movie instead of complimenting it and Daniel Day Lewis, who I consider to be a great actor, was way over the top with an accent reminiscent of agent Smith from ""The Matrix"". I half expected him to attach a ""... Mr Anderson"" on to some of his lines. I think its crazy that this is currently ranked at number 33 in the IMDb most popular movies. I fear there's a strong element of ""The emperors new clothes here""",3 You might need beta blockers to watch this it is hard work and STRESSFULL! Sander is v good tho.,5 "Just watched Wonder Woman. It seems the movie culturally appropriated Western myths then made them unrecognisable. For example, exactly half of the Amazons were africans when they were actually Greek. Apparently the British Army in World War I was 50% moslem, 45% Sikh and only 5% British. Learn something new everyday.",2 "While the original had some plot holes - I did not care because I could relate to the characters, and the action was superb, story was reasonable, acting was perfect. This one just doesn't work, storyline is unreasonable, characters are hollow and disconnected, it just doesn't work for me on many levels.",3 It's much worse than the first one. 2 things that helps this were the nifflers and Grindelwald visual.,5 "Growing up with Spiderman has given me a lot of background for the stories presented by the Spiderman series. And considering all the comic books movies that have been released in the last years I will say that this adaptation is the best in my opinion. The story didn't stay exactly the same, but that can be understood, they've taken 30 years of comic storyline and compressed it into some of the best. I won't continue babbling, it all sounds tripe after seeing the other 200 comments posted here. Just wanted to say that I liked it for what it is, a comic book turned into a good movie, it's not LotR, it's not a pretty Disney film filled with happy animals, it's a page from our childhood turned into another medium for us to enjoy.",9 "Effects were pretty but inaccuracy of the physics annoyed me at several moments; most won't notice. Some of these were key moments in the movie and inaccurate physics resulted in some immersion-breaking (mostly the inaccurate inertia). Good acting, as we would expect from Sandra Bullock <3. Plot is nice; a ""single-scene"" (my """") film taking you through a specific crisis. I wish the ending showed one step further in time, but the danger felt real and I was along for the ride. Decently good overall.",7 "I found this very enjoyable 7.5/10 - great acting. The sign of a good story is how quickly you become absorbed by it - and with Bodyguard you rapidly do. A police officer and former army veteran becomes bodyguard to a female government minister. His own life and family and what happens in the role, makes a riveting watch. Minor criticisms : The lack of management procedures that even an ordinary office would have, let alone security services, did jar as being implausible. But once I started on the series I had to binge watch, so recommended.",7 "**Positives: 1. Thrilling action sequences 2. Great camera work **Negatives: 1. Very weak plot, not so engaging screenplay, and unnecessarily stretched story. 2. Not a single character got proper screen time to develop, everything seemed rushed. So many brilliant actors in the cast, still none of them got the opportunity showcase their talent. Very disappointed!!! 3. Weak research-Wrong representation of Dhaka (Bangladesh), it killed the soul of the city. Language, culture, people nothing is on the target.",4 "It was a great movie series to come back to with Eddie Brock and Venom who has to stop a crazy serial killer who is trying to get his ""love of his life"" back. And by doing so, he was sentenced to death but instead was bonded by the same kind of thing Eddie was bonded with. Now he is going to try to find revenge on Eddie and is not going to stop until he gets what he wants. To stop him, Eddie and Venom must stop fighting to stop his ever reining terror. This is a great way to continue the story and the plot is super easy to understand and it is very fun to watch. But the ending happens very fast and you can very easily miss minor scenes and appearances. I hope you enjoy Venom: Let There Be Carnage like I did. And the fight scene was so good that at first you couldn't tell who would win. So a great job by Marvel Studios and Sony for making such a memorable film. Enjoy.",10 "I watched Parasite on Prime Video, expecting it to be an above average film. It really was not. The initial build up was too slow, the story thereafter was interesting but certainly not great cinema. It was just okay. The violence towards the end was too gory. Overall, I found Parasite over rated.",5 "Leave your brain at the door action, with the worst editing. A drinking game on stuff ups would get you smashed in 1st 30 minutes. If you can get past these issues it's a good tune off from reality.",5 "Basically two guys killed half if not all the Bengali police hahahaha. Clearly states that India police needs to get more police like Randeep.... Ironic how they then go ahead to kill one of their own who was protecting one of their own but thank goodness for Chris who comes in, American style all guns blazing and death around him to rescue the poor baby boy. First time I watched it I loved it more than the 2nd time when I kept wondering why half a billion people had to die ....But anything to save the innocent even if we kill other policemen on duty ... following orders hahaha For sure not a waste of time, you love action, then this is it, Rambo iz back in India.",6 "I went into 'Fan' with a great deal of trepidation, wondering how Maneesh Sharma's new film would play out: a Bollywood superstar playing a Bollywood superstar AND his biggest fan could either be a multi-layered meta delight, or just plain icky. I am happy to report that 'Fan' is a triumph. Shah Rukh Khan is played to all his strengths, and he plays it just right, gliding in and out of the star and the fan, creating distinct identities and outlines in one scene, and blurring the lines just so in the next. It is a wonderful, grasping, knowing performance, the actor and the star all rolled in one, all at our service, even as they service Shah Rukh Khan's stratospheric stardom.But, and this is the thing, the film does not simper or slobber. It is not in thrall to its star, even when it recognizes his stardom. It goes at itself with with a raised devil's eyebrow (just like SRK's) and a nod and a wink, and brings us in on the joke. And Shah Rukh Khan keeps pace with us, all the way.A 1987 Stephen King novel called 'Misery' has a bestseller author locked into a deadly duel with a woman who calls herself his 'biggest fan', and who will do anything—even kill– to preserve the image that she has of him. In some ways, 'Fan' reminded me of that King novel, which is part horror, part thriller, and part a rumination on how obsessive fandom and the object of the all the worshipping is connected, and how when things go wrong, they can go horribly, inexorably south.Gaurav Chandna (Shah Rukh Khanna) is a Dilli boy who grows up worshipping Aryan Khanna ( Shah Rukh), another Dilli boy who conquered Bombay and Bollywood. The Aryan Khanna who went from an ordinary middle class home to an ocean-front mansion surrounded by screaming mobs, who says, as if means every word, that he, Aryan, exists only because of his fans.Gaurav's journey to Mumbai to meet Aryan—who grants a 'darshan' to hysterical swarms waiting outside his bungalow, just the way the real-life superstar does, in just one of the many meta references littering the film– is both familiar and not-familiar. The in-between spaces are filled with the unexpected, and that's where the film scores. Stars are also human and fallible, and a victim of both hubris and frailty, and Aryan channels all those emotions. Oh wait, it is Shah Rukh doing the channeling, via Aryan, also Bollywood superstar. So if Aryan has feet of clay, does SRK too? This is one of the several clever inferences the film leaves us to draw from a film which is fashioned directly out of the star's persona and power and pull, and how it impacts other lives. The dilemma of a star who wants everything–can you ever have enough fans, and can they be mixed blessings—is laid out in full techni-coloured messy glory. The astonishingly-Aryan-lookalike Gaurav is not all sugar and spice either, and much of what he is impelled into doing is the result of what blind hero-worshipping can do. The star opens his arms wide; so does the copycat fan and wins a trophy. The star travels the world ; the fan stalks him. And when the star draws the line – ""main yahaan, aur tum wahaan""—the fan reacts in anger, disbelief and rage. There's just one thing this fan wants, and that's the one thing the star will not give him. He can, but he won't.",4 "This movie sucks, you know why? You've seen it a hundred times. Dances with Wolves is a good example. Man goes to the savages, learns they aren't so savage after all, big battle, role credits. The effects are spectacular, but as a film, bleh. Sam worthington has yet to be good in a movie. He can't keep his accent straight, ever. In no movie iv'e seen him in was he able to do this. He is a bad actor, and i know some people love him, but it is undeserved. Again the effects are great and the action is superb, that is James Cameron's strong point action. We he tries emotion it comes across as cheesy and fake, just like Titanic. Thats right Titanic blows too! Watch it cause you have to, but only once, other wise you will see throu the vale of cgi and find a movie you've seen a hundred times and a hundred times better.",3 "For someone who would like to write a story that appeals to people in the age range that Nickelodeon markets for, I'm surprised. Too many of their shows are campy, cheesy and some are even bordering on stupid. Since Invader Zim I've been none too impressed with any of the Nickelodeon lineup. Cue Avatar, the Last Air Bender. And then I'm surprised by this show. I catch one episode, find it intriguing. After the purchase of my iPod, I buy the entire first season to see what it's really like. I'm completely taken with the show. I adore the story arc's, sometimes the even ridiculously over obvious story lines, the twists and the artistry. This is a beautiful show, story and art.",10 The glamorization of evil people in this movie was appalling. I nearly switched it off in the middle. I barely made it through the movie. I had heard it was great and I kept waiting for the good part and it never came. I didn't find it funny. I found it a sad comment on mass culture.,2 "This movie was incredibly boring and pointless.. a lot made no sense and I can't remember the last time I was so happy for a movie to end. My friends and I all agree and at many points of the movie thought about walking out rather than waste my time that could be better spent staring at a wall waiting for wet paint to dry but I kept on telling myself that it has to get good at some point, the ratings are so high! It never happened and all I want to say is.... don't watch this film... the only reason I am giving it more than one is because of the impressive CGI. A really boring movie, The critics must have been paid off.",2 "Was a great start and expected quite a lot. Too much confusion dint help either. Watch if you are a hard core marvel fan, else pass. Unless connected to MCU and unless more relatable content is added this character would be less interesting than some of the side characters in MCU so far.",7 "Ain't gonna lie. Since no one cares about the opinions of others. The show itself is lackluster and boring. I believe being compared to ""The Boys"" is for the show to be a cop-out for people to watch it for its supposed similarity. Movies or shows nowadays try to overdramatize to the demographic of this world. Humoring social media in a bland redundant aspect, and exploiting any sexual relationship in a disgusting immoral fashion. It's horrible and makes me think is that what we truly are to everyone around us. If so then it's my mistake assuming that we were different. It's graphic and twists here and there so I guess that's promising for its show revolving around powerful immature teenagers.",5 "FIRST I MUST SAY THIS.. THE FIRST 50min IS HORRIBLE BUT STICK WITH IT.. I'LL EXPLAIN LATER.... The original was fantastic one of the best movies of the year with an all star cast it was outstanding this sequel however falls drastically flat the A List stars ? I mean you have Daniel Craig Kate Hudson.. a wrestler and cameos by two or three celebs not exactly an all star cast NETFLIX.. still that's not the worst part the movie is horribly slow for the first 50 mins it does pick up.. yes but the damage is done because most people would of stopped watching by then due to it being dreadful for the first 50 nothing happens at all.. But yeah all in all some of the acting is average at best.. to the point the wrestler (Dave Baptista) looks like an Academy Award winner in comparison.. Kathryn Hann is rather annoying at times.. make that all the time.. Madelyn Cline is dreadful Jessica Henwick is sub par at best.. Kate Hudson is fantastic as too Janelle Monae.. Daniel Craig is brilliant.. Overall the movie is disappointing.. not horrible.. but disappointing..",3 "The movie has no story. They tried to make some good action scene but overall it does not make any sense it seems like some 3rd grade Tamil movie where the hero is killing thousand of people left and right including army officers. Why army will come for a local crime incident?. The character of the hero is also not developed, why the hero do this kind of job?. There is also no details about how they are able to run this operation.",1 "I can scarcely believe it myself, but for once I entirely agree with something that Leonard Maltin has written. Indeed it was perhaps sadly inevitable that Hollywood's first film about AIDS would be an exercise in the politically correct that constantly watched its back. That is not to say that Philadelphia is a bad film. In fact is quite a good one. Director Demme should be credited for crafting an interesting and entertaining film that at least doesn't fall into the trap of being patronising to the point of insulting. Hanks is brilliant as the lawyer who is fired by his firm for having AIDS. In his first role after spending his career making comedies, he gives his `every man' routine its first outing, a style that he has been feeding off ever since with Apollo 13 to Saving Private Ryan. Washington too is great as the lawyer who loathes homosexuals, but worships fair play and eventually takes on his case. However the film stumbles over the script, which prevents its from reaching the great heights of profundity which it clearly aspires too. The characters are pretty much all caricatures. Hanks as the innocent, almost saintly gay lawyer out for simple justice from his evil heterosexual superiors (`He brought AIDS into our bathrooms!') while Washington as the nice black lawyer attempting to put the World to rights. We simply don't know anything about Hank's background, his family and lover Banderas are too good to be true and the fact that the audience even sympathises with him is testament to the dignity of Hanks' performance. The film works well given its limitations of the standard Hollywood courtroom drama. But 7 years on, the time is right for a more realistic and gritty portrayal of the issues at hand. 6/10",6 "Not a ""formal"" movie or thoughtful plot. No new knowledge. A little low and silly. But it is funny and nice entertainment made by American.",6 "The Movie is one of a kind .The original experience is watching it in Theaters .This movie definite space and explaination for every character and his actions. This is Karthi's one of the career best performances .And all other Actors were also fantastic .Last but not least ,about director ""Sir you are a promise to the growth of South Industry"".Overall a nice movie!#promote such movies",10 "It's like these guys with the cardboard sign ""The end is near"" or these christian fanatics with ""Homosexuality is a sin"". Most episodes are just exaggerating actual society phenomenons. Yes, technology is changing fast and with it our society and social behaviour. But most episodes feel like a sermon. Pretty exhausting after 3 seasons. 6 Stars, but because there are some decent episodes among the seasons, 7 stars.",7 "My only complaint about this series is Erin's obsession with plastic surgery. She is not even 30 but she looks like Joan Rivers' ectoplasmic snail trail. It's sad that she felt she needed plastic surgery to be attractive even though she used to be gorgeous. Now, I can't even look at her. She looks like Michael Jackson from South Park. Everything else about this series is top notch. Please, can we get Erin some help because she looks like Mr. Jefferson.",9 "It's typical Marvel nonsense, but even worse than it often is. Bettany, and especially Olsen, give very good performances, but that's about all it has going for it. It's filled with random, annoying characters. The female with glasses from Thor 2 is featured extensively here, and she's completely hateful. The actress that plays her is aggravating to put it lightly. The only white male (aside from Vision, who's actually a bright pink robot) in the show is the evil villain, so the show's offensive as well. I only stuck with the first 7 episodes because I was watching them with a family member, and I had to force myself to watch the last two. Don't waste your time.",3 "Kids will enjoy this movie it's like the PG Deadpool , And I see a lot of exaggeration about how amazing this movie is ... and I don't get it .",6 "I am a huge fan of the boys, If memory serves me correctly I polished off all 3 seasons in about a week, so when I heard of a spin off, obviously I was very excited. From the first scene alone, I knew I was in for a wild ride (in typical boys fashion). This series is almost completely on par with its predecessor in my personal opinion. Likable characters that you want to root for, amazing special effects, thrilling from start to finish. I most definitely recommend! Especially for college aged people (like myself) you'll find this not only an exciting watch, but a relatable one (as relatable as superheroes can be).",8 "Honestly did not know or understand the fuss about this show. Character development was very slow and there was really no end to this story? I might have mis interpreted it but just felt like one big drag. Had so much potential but was just very very much the same each episode. The storyline really could have been much more but did not feel a connection with it at all.",1 "Unless I'm missing something extremely crucial, Rian Johnson is a director who seems to single-handedly confirm that modern critics like to play favorites. The same people who dismiss criticisms of The Last Jedi - at least ones that concern inconsistent rules, inconsistent tone, and inconsistent/unconvincing/lacking characterization - as superficial nitpicks that scoff at underlying themes and risk-taking, will gladly (and correctly) make those complaints about the final season of Game of Thrones. When Disney and Johnson mess up, it's fine. I'm not making any allegations against mainstream critics beyond that, nor shall I read their minds; people often accuse them of (1) being bought and paid for by certain studios, (2) licking the feet of ""Hollywood liberals"" until that does happen, or (3) having a political slant that favors certain filmmakers and messages. That last one may seem similar to the second one, but we forget ""bias"" refers to genuine opinion; not ass-kissery. As I said in ""The NPC Meme and the Irony of Who's Using It"", people like to make it easy for themselves by assuming no dissenting political opinions are genuine, but rather the result of Orwellian indoctrination and/or a desire to gain something from a left-wing establishment. Point is, it could very well be that critics sincerely adore Rian Johnson to a point of going unfairly easy on him. In the murder mystery Knives Out, he cartoonishly inserts his detractors (without even doing them the justice Lady in the Water did those of Shyamalan) and political enemies in a way that this year's Joker is often derided for doing, usually by critics I have observed loving this film (despite Todd Phillips not being this in-your-face and never asserting that evil is, say, a uniquely leftist thing). Again, the selectivity with which modern critics apply their lens really fascinates me, especially when they do it in a way where a movie that's ""more guilty"" of what they're decrying gets away. I'm not telling you which lens to use, mind you, or which standards you personally should want a good product to meet. I just hope all films are truly equal before your judgment. As I see it, Knives Out isn't horrible. Much of it, in fact, is quite good, particularly in the areas of cinematography and art direction. But praising stuff like this and concluding it's an over-all good movie is even more surface-level than that which Johnson's haters are accused of being shallow for doing, namely assessing the writing. To Rian's credit, my main gripes are with the ham-handed references, the occasional goofy-yet-self-serious line, and such subtle character names as Hugh Ransom (Chris Evans). For what it's worth, I nearly saw Black Christmas instead of Knives Out and this is Tarkovskian by comparison. Daniel Craig plays Detective Benoite Blanc, whose hilariously French name evokes Hercule Poirot, more so than his unconvincing Southern drawl. The rest of the cast, many of them prime suspects, consists of Jamie Lee Curtis, Ana de Armas (who, get this, vomits when she tells lies), Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Christopher Plummer, Lakeith Stanfield, and Katherine Langford of 13 Reasons Why. These actors, many of them legends, do well enough and work off of each other in entertaining ways (even when they aren't given the most dignified sentences to enunciate). As with the script, the characters show potential. It's a shame all the Star Wars drama compelled dear Rian to damage it by pretentiously owning his haters through the ""alt-right troll kid"" and whatnot. I guess this became more of an article about Rian Johnson and Film Twitter than it was strictly about Knives Out, but although I didn't really like it, both this film and The Last Jedi show that he can create a gorgeous movie that, at least in the case of the latter movie, has interesting themes to communicate. We're not doing him any favors by pretending this is the best he can ever do in terms of script effort.",5 "After I watched the movie, I had a terrible headache. Later I found out it was because I focused on the blur parts of the screen. When I see a 3d movie, I want to see everything in 3d so I watch every part of the screen. But that's not allowed, because you're only allowed to see just the sharp part of the scene. And in Avatar that's just a small part of the screen. So there you have a planet what should be mind blowing, but it's only head blowing. I still don't know how Pandora looks like. After 1,5 hour I got used to the 3d a bit so I could see the last 1,5 hour better, but then the overviews of the planet where already done. What was left was a very one dimensional story. But I already expected that. Conclusion: Before you're going to see a 3d-movie first learn how to watch a 3d movie. Otherwise it's going to be a painful evening.",3 "Should be labeled as Sci-Fi, a woman hasn't won a single chess championship in the 1500 years since it was created.",2 "It's blockbuster entertainment. And it sells well, because it IS ENTERTAINING. And entertaining is all it needs to be. Any bad? Well, there are many storylines and many characters, which result in a somewhat disjointed, chaotic storyline. Could have been better with a more tight knit storyline and fewer characters. This story lasts too long as well, 2 and a half hour is simply TOO much for an action movie, in my humble opinion. The good: it;s FUN. It's mindless, good fun. But it also has something few other action blockbuster have: it has great dialogues AND it has great actors. I didnt expect such great dialogues in an action blockbuster. And I am quite PLEASED with that. This movie can be watched by adults as well. Even those adults who usually dont go see such action blockbusters. It isnt special or a must see, but you wont get annoyed or bored either, because (as I have said before), the characters and the dialogues make this into a grown up AND entertaining action blockbuster.",7 Extremely good conversion...of the story...with all twists and turns.......and a story of humans to tell.....felt it better than the first season......this is a must watch,9 "THIS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have to bring it back on everyone loves it and is waiting for another season basically everyone i know has seen it! this show is insanely good and needs to be continued there's finding zukos mother and toph making up with her parents, you could even make them find another air bender ts that good!!!!!!! My whole family loves ranging from my four year old sister to me to my sixteen year old brother even my 21 year old cousin would die to have it back on!!!! the last season was great and all the others were too but it was left with loose end and its obvious you still have all the actors!! you can come up with so many more episode sand if you cant i have a million!!! please continue making more episodes for this show you still haven't done an season for air!! i would recommend this show for anyone and any ages",10 This show is a really funny entertaining show it has good jokes and has funny scenes and it funny to see a guy who's so strong he's bored of being in a world that's to easy for him,8 "'A Beautiful Mind' tells the real-life story of mathematics professor and genius John Nash who also suffers from schizophrenia. Included in this account is John's time spent at Princeton University where he chooses to skip classes entirely in pursuit of an original idea with which to make his name. Thus, we see John spending much of his time scribbling complex mathematical formulae on the windows of his room and the university library. Despite his illness, John's work eventually results in him being awarded the Nobel Prize. After leaving Princeton, he accepts a couple of assignments which involve code breaking for the government, one of these being provided by the mysterious Parcher (Ed Harris). As he undertakes this assignment, John is filled with paranoia as his condition of schizophrenia becomes more apparent to his wife (Jennifer Connelly) and the audience. Although 'A Beautiful Mind' doesn't make for light entertainment, there is some humour to be found. John's lack of social skills is evident in the way he handles women and his frankness in confessing to them that he would like to undertake intercourse as soon as possible as part of his chat up is quite endearing. John's room mate Charles also provides welcome comic relief in the film's few lighter moments. One downside of the story telling in the film is the skipping of several years at a time which may leave you wondering what's been missed out in the account of this man's life (the upside is that the passing of time is accompanied by very convincing make-up!). The end of the film seems a little rushed in the way John seems to make remarkable progress in his recovery and the fact that his wife sticks by him during his prolonged mental illness is a little unconvincing. A film dealing with mental illness is never going to be comfortable viewing but the fact that the film is based on a true life story does make it fascinating to watch. What impressed me the most is the first class acting on display: the two leads Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly produce engaging and Oscar-worthy performances which are at times heartbreaking. In fact, Crowe could quite possibly be the new Tom Hanks in his ability to gain yet another Oscar nomination.",7 "Switch Don Johnson and Daniel Craig and you'd have a movie that would fare much better in suspending your disbelief. As a Canadian living in Austria all my European friends liked the movie because 1) the current iteration of James Bond is idolized more here than in North America, and 2) they wouldn't know a terrible southern accent if it hit them in the face. I couldn't get into the movie listening to a Brit making a mess of a regional American accent. The movie overall was good fun, but no better than 7.5/10. I'm being nice when I knock off only 1.5 for the miscasting. Kevin Spacey or a long list of other good American actors could have done better. Attempting to keep the 'Poirot' suave sophistication and British sensibility while playing a poor southern American accent was a mistake by casting and the producers who I'm assuming put star power over believability. The other acters were also underused. Worth a look but nothing special.",6 "I honestly can't understand the many positive reviews of this movie. A great cast does definitely not make a great movie, and this movie certainly proves that. The ridiculous and badly done accent from Daniel Craig draws all attention away from the story, and it's uncanny how any director can fumble up a movie with a cast like this... But apparently if anyone can, Ryan Johnson is your man. After ruining The Last Jedi, he keeps on going strong....",4 Just simple just cute.....amazing simplicity of the SRK...... not only one thing make a best movie but 1000 things swades make Masterpiece of Shahrukh khan.....all scene emotionally strong.,10 This movie seems to be lived because of its disparate events. I found those things to be a turn off because i did not feel attached to any of the characters. The movies main entertainment is the broad use of profanity which lowers my regard for the writing.,3 "Whaaaaat aaaa movie. Excellent!!!!!!!!!! Magnum Opus Film 😍, Loki Sir Hatsoff. All department of the film was fantastic. Waiting for kaithi 2 and loki sir Loki Cinematic Universe.😎",10 Half an hour in seemed like an eternity. Much overhyped film with a bloated Daniel Craig as a southern Poirot. This film showed me Chris Evans in overrated in the acting and the looks department. Michael Shannon and Toni Collette are good but they always are. Jamie Lee Curtis is JLC. Netflix has paid half a billion dollars for 2 sequels- crap.,6 "The umbrella academy was a good series but not that much it is same as any Netflix production , like they were hurry to make a superhero series , the academy contains 7 characters "" 7 superheroes "" to be honest i did not like the series but i had to finish it to make sure , the special powers for each hero is bad and i noticed that the series is a little bit childish and some scenes has no logic . But the acting of cha-cha , Hazel and Klaus was by far the best in the series really these are who made me continue watching .",6 Season 1 was brilliant. Season 2 was great but season 3 it sucks. It took me 2 months to complete season 3.that was soo sooo soooo boring. I highly recommend to you that skip the whole season and watch EP 12 and 13.to save your time. And yeah season 4 way way better than season 3.i think after season 3 the season 4 is great comeback. Personally i love season 4.,9 "Daredevil is a terrific television series with very well developed plot lines that stretch out through a whole season and a stellar cast. It's surprising work from Marvel, constant violence and gore throughout every episode, as well as dark themes that you would never find in an Avengers or Spider-Man movie. As a result of that, the series stands out from other properties and is constantly exciting. However, the plot to certain episodes can be slow moving. Though I appreciate their effort on developing character arch's, it takes up too much time often when we begin to crave more suspense, while the writers are inclined to focus on Daredevil's origins, or his relationship with Elektra. The cast deliver some of the best acting I have seen in any superhero series or movie, Charlie Cox shines in the lead role, convincingly portraying a blind man with martial art skills. He has a stellar supporting cast that often even steal the show from him, such as the humorous Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, the damaged performance of Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page and the smart witted Rosario Dawson as Clair Temple. New characters join the second season who are just as intriguing, with actors well able to deliver their emotions, such as Jon Bernthal as the best portrayal of the Punisher to date and Elodie Yung as the complicated, yet likable Elektra. The highlight of the series, for me, has to be Vincent D'Onofrio, who steals every scene he features in as Wilson Fisk, an insane, ruthless villain who we actually gain sympathy for as we learn about the character's dark past and the reasons his mind works in strange ways, it's a crime that the actor has received no Emmy nominations for his work. Exciting, action packed with engrossing stories and a stunning cast, Daredevil is certainly worth the watch for fans of action and Marvel in general. Blind man Matt Murdock fights crime on the streets of Hell's Kitchen, a continuously decreasing city, using his superhuman abilities and adapting the persona of Daredevil. He also fights crime peacefully as a lawyer in the daytime, along with his colleagues Foggy Nelson and Karen Page. Best Performance: Vincent D'Onofrio / Worst Performance: Amy Rutberg Best Episode: Daredevil / Worst Episode: Regrets Only",9 "I'm not big on cartoons or the like but my husband had been asking me for years to watch the avatar. Well it came to Netflix so I said ok begrudgingly, thinking it was more so a show for him to enjoy his nostalgia and I definitely didn't think it would be enjoyable to see as an adult, assuming it was a kids show. I was very wrong! I loved the show, it's def one of my favorites. So wish there was more! It is humorous and touching, generally it put me in a good mood afterwards. I'll def rewatch it. The characters are all interesting and have great development. Scenes are beautiful. It's just a great show. Give it a watch!!",10 "Pretty good movie, but a bit too long and slow. I think that ""deepfake"" technology did spoil it a bit. The soulless eyes were too obvious.",4 This has got to be one among the most stupid documentary with half baked truths and lies - and it nowhere deserves to be called as a movie. Tarantino - a thing of past.,3 "Is this the best comic book movie ever? It was close. But I don't think MCU will ever surpass a movie like Dark knight. But this is the best Marvel movie ever. To be honest this is how BvS should have been. I like DC universe more than marvel. But I like Marvel movies because it entertains and MCU took the comic book adapted movies to another level. It hit the right notes and the right mix of the emotions really work for the movie. BvS didn't quite get it right. Civil war is supposed to be a serious dark movie and one of the best Marvel comics have to offer (Seems like marvel is concentrating on movies and left comics for dead. The quality of marvel comics dipped recently, DC too but the Injustice is really good). But it fulfills the latter part only. It does have some negatives like some poor CGI shots, Average villain and sometimes the comedy ruins serious scenes. But it got too many elements that work, like the climax, spider-man, black panther, the rivalry and ending credits (oh yeah). Will it entertain you- HELL yes. Is this the best MCU movie ever- HELL yeah. Is this the best comic book movie ever?- Nope. Overall: Worth a watch in theaters and buy the blue-ray when it releases and keep it in your favorite movie collections. 8.5/10.",1 "Doesn't seem to have any clear plot or direction. Just all over the map. May as well watch ""I dream of Jeannie""",1 "Horror films these days are dismal, cliched and all seem to use the same repetitive tropes. However, there is something original and intriguing about TTM that captivates the watcher. The hand itself makes you wonder about its origin story and certainly makes you feel uneasy when looking at it. The acting and story development is spot on and it had me fully gripped. There are some great gory moments if you're into that, but the suspense and terror is cleverly executed by playing on the things you don't see. TTM is a great addition to the genre, and refreshing - something you can't say about the churn of tripe hollywood is happy to plate us. The Aussies have nailed it! The idea has huge potential and I hope they build on this for what I hope will be many sequels.",8 Not for the faint of heart. From the start you're sucked into the story with great action scenes. The last episodes were really intense: sweaty hands and red cheeks are guaranteed.,8 "Are you get boared at watching South Indian movie like me?Then you have to watch it. Usually, physics is by SI movie. But this movie is totally different. Plot, acting, action, emotions whatever you say is appreciatable.",10 "The movie's action scenes are excellent and their direction is perfectly suited for our beloved ""Thor"" Chris Hemsworth, who seems like a natural fit for the genre. On the downside, the film fails to offer anything new, based on a script that has been done multiple times in the past. The villain is never developed and the film's person in distress seems more like an object than a developed character. As a resume, this film is fun to watch, but surely could be developed further.",7 "Brilliant series, not for kids. Action packed and a different take on superheroes. Well worth watching.",9 "I don't think how this movie got such high ratings and reviews.. It's just medicore movie, it's totally fine to skip it..",3 "The title by no means suggests that this movie was predictable. Greta Gerwig does a wonderful job making the 1 hour and 54 minutes enjoyable for a wide range of audiences (which was originally a worry of mine, as a movie centered around the Barbie doll franchise seemed a narrow area of public interest). Rather, following countless pre-release trailers, interviews, promotions, and marketing schemes, I had a general idea of what the movie could be about. In other words, I was not left surprised or awed by new and unexpected artistic choices. The movie I expected was a comedic, lighthearted adventure surrounding Barbie and her ""universe"" of Barbies and Kens (and Allan), a pink and perfect world of constant happiness and beauty, until something goes terribly wrong: Barbie starts becoming human. What would follow is a wacky adventure wherein Barbie would seek for a solution to her problem, and in doing so, finding what it means to be human; furthermore, what it means to be a woman in a ""world of men."" And this is more or less the framework of Gerwig's film. Of course, there are many other creative aspects that were not anticipated, and the way it built off of a beloved franchise was admirable, to say the least, and clever. Though I was not a big Barbie fan as a child, there were all kinds of Easter eggs referencing Barbie lore throughout the movie. Many would say this film did Barbie and her fans justice. Overall, I expected the film to be good. And that is what I thought of it: it was an enjoyable and entertaining movie, though would not be on a list of favorites. It didn't move me in the way I believed it intended to. Some moments were emotional, but it did not leave me with profound thoughts on the state of modern-day patriarchy, or the hardened corporate heart of society. Perhaps this was because it was very well cushioned by comedic dialogue and colorful, fun design, successfully softening the blow of the movie's larger themes. I also agree that it was quite preachy, and although there was power behind the speeches about the feminist struggle and the expectations of perfections in an imperfect world, it felt very heavy-handed (especially towards the end of the film). Despite how I feel about Barbie not living up to its full potential, I encourage everyone to watch it. Not just because my opinion really doesn't mean anything among the experiences of others, but because it deserves a chance at changing another person's mind. I fully support how Barbie encourages the breaking of gender norms and awareness and transparency about mental health. The arc Barbie follows is touching, brave, and familiar to all those experiencing the ups and downs of life's many paths. Ultimately, it is worth a watch, and certainly opens new doors for future filmmaking and marketing.",7 "This film is simply exceptional in every way. The edge it has is delivering the best, grittiest action the genre has ever scene and characters that are as complex as the are fun. Why do I say that? Well... What I love about the character is that Steve Rogers has ""I'm-a-man-out- of-time issues"" but he's comfortable with the chaos that it brings. In acclimating himself to this century he is at his best. Yes, most people would be overwhelmed but because of who he is and where he's from, he's able to cope and adapt. The serum that gives him his physical edge also gives him a mental boost. It's his emotions that are raw and unaided. Time has passed since Avengers so we don't get to see his day to day amazement and adjustment. I'm glad they skipped that stuff. What we do see is the man who once represented America and has become alien to America and it's slanted values. The passage of time. Add those struggles to a full blown conspiracy film and what results might just be the best film released all year long. Steve Rogers is basically a John Wayne American. The world shifts to him and it's his job to tell everybody ""Here's they way things should be done."" We saw that in Avengers and even the first film after he gathered his Howling Commandos. Now, the powers that be are a lot more flexible in terms of loyalties and how they're going to get certain jobs done. How he handles this century's gray morality is at the heart of the film. Like most men from the 1940's, Steve keeps things to himself and keeps his emotions bottled up. (EX: the first film when he mentions his mother dying of TB and he was even embarrassed when Peggy found him mourning alone for Bucky) So, bringing The Black Widow in to this film gives him someone who is going to draw out his story, because he's never going to offer it up of his own accord. Natasha learns from him. Fury learns from him. Sam Wilson learns from him. Yet, they all give him something in return. Every character used is utilized perfectly and smartly. Falcon for example, is not in awe of the legend of Captain America. This is exactly what Steve wants in a friend and in a fellow soldier, to not have to be Captain America. Everyone fits perfectly in to the plot and allows access to different beats, tones and emotional depth. Yes, conspiracy thrillers need depth and this one has it. Captain America is probably the only superhero left in this world of the reboot who is singularly heroic. He doesn't have this dark existential quandary like other reinventions. Plugging that resolute goodness into a morally complex story means he doesn't question what he believes, but he questions whether anybody else does anymore. He doesn't question his foundation but he questions where he has ended up and what his role must now be. The conspiracy element and structure of this story helps in that Captain America is not up on a pedestal being self righteous, he's in a corner and that makes you want to root for the guy. He believes in what he's doing and the viewer is along for a great ride sharing that belief. Marvel movies usually establish character early. This one starts out fast but it's got a lot of character in it. The first act packs a punch but does it laying the groundwork for a remarkable third act. They take time showing the issues and you immediately empathize with Steve. Giving us good character depth means the action delivers more punch. And the action here is beyond great. This movie absolutely punches you in the face in the best way possible. The action has advanced a lot from the first film. How he now operates in the world and kicks butt is all very impressive. So, this is probably Marvel's grittiest movie and it's also their best sequel to date. There's a dash of humor but there's mostly a wonderful thriller, conspiracy and adventure that delivers a great great film.",10 "This movie has one of the most boring and predictable story lines I've seen in a long while. i'm giving spider-verse 5 stars out of 10 because the animation is beautiful, especially the comic book spreads but the animation cannot hide the plot weakness, since if you know the title and the first few minutes of the movie, you largely know the plot. The only reason I didn't leave one hour into the movie is because my companion fell asleep and i didn't want to wake them up, but the movie is also painfully long. Bottom line, I would rather have spent my time re-watching Tobey Maguire's 2002 spider-man.",5 "(No spoilers) Listen, I was hooked throughout the movie. My wife said ""best movie I've seen in a while"" and I agreed. But they ending this movie in the dumbest way you could imagine. It ruined the entire movie up until that point. It was great until the last 15 minutes burned it to the ground... Daniel Craig, Janelle Moneá we're great and captivating throughout the movie. Edward Norton is fun to watch. There was so much set up to lead to greatness, the story grabbed your attention with obvious clues you'll not know how you missed, and subtle ones that make your mind think ""why didn't I see that?!"" But then, it attempts an awful conclusion that will leave you wondering why you waisted your time with this film.",2 "Terrible movie. Most painful way to see a pilot not shoot when the target is in sight, and shoot as soon as it leaves the sight and just miss with every bullet. To be honest Tom Hardy shot down more people without fuel then with fuel.",1 "It's like someone is playing 3 movies all at once over Adam Sandler shouting. Is there supposed to be a narrative? It's complete and utter garbage, just noise. I got through an hour then it had to stop.",3 "While the melding of genuine human interplay, romantic comedy tropes and obnoxious male directed humour has seldom proved an easy course to navigate, with many such efforts leaning too strongly on one aspect at the risk of compromising the others, recent comedy superstar Judd Apatow proved particularly deft at manoeuvring the balance between them. Striking a particular chord of vulgar, bawdy humour and sweet sentiment, the unusual balance has recently become almost a subgenre in itself, permeating the recent comedy mainstream. As such, Forgetting Sarah Marshall (which Apatow produced) aims to keep a good thing going, striving for the same unique hybrid which past hits such as Knocked Up and Superbad championed. However, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, try as it might, cannot help but pale in the shadow of its predecessors, offering all of the heart of typical Apatow fare at the expense of exceptional laughs. Which is not to say the film has nothing to offer comedically, but rather than the memorable factor of it is essentially reduced to two bookending setpieces: the much hyped naked break-up which proves the catalyst setting the plot in motion, and an inspired climax far too good to give away but which proves the indisputable high point of the film. It is the content in the middle which lags, with well intentioned gags such as mopey protagonist Peter (Segel) attempting to overcome his sorrows post break-up through a series of one night stands (though an exceptionally funny montage sequence proves a standout), and eventually fleeing to Hawaii only to find his celebrity ex-girlfriend (Bell) also vacationing there with her new beau (Brand). While the premise offers a tantalising wealth of comedic potential, the execution is less satisfying, with many gags being overly drawn out or overdone to the point of the comedy waning, despite the occasional standout laugh. It hardly helps when the film becomes drenched in sentiment and a groan-worthy moral of striving for one's dreams being battered over the audiences' collective heads and falls prey to the typical Apatow pitfall of feeling 10-20 minutes overlong. Similarly, director Nicholas Stoller never appears to have an entirely firm grasp of how to treat his protagonist, both at times milking pathos and viewer sympathies from Peter's predicament while otherwise portraying him as weak and pathetic and extracting cruel laughs from his moping, making it more difficult to empathise with the protagonist. Granted, such a dualistic approach does accurately convey the mix of of sympathy and annoyance towards those struggling after a break-up, but a more balanced and cohesive portrayal would have made empathy with the protagonist all the more possible and appealing. However, such a double-edged complaint also mirrors one of the film's foremost strength: the authenticity and credibility of its human interactions. Scripted by star Jason Segel, the characters and their interaction with one another ring laudably true, making the film easily a sufficiently charming and amusing way to spend the time, if not as riotously funny as it feels it should be. One of the later performers to join the pantheon of ""flawed, schlubbish yet earnestly lovable"" Apatow heroes, Jason Segel easily exudes easily enough charm to carry the occasionally shaky film, delivering a performance which feels both honest and irreverently silly enough to easily justify his upgrading to leading man. Mila Kunis similarly boasts a unique charm which manages to encompass being both abrasive and tender, making the romantic tension between her and Segel all the more fresh and enticing. Kristen Bell, despite struggling with an underwritten character as Peter's actress ex-girlfriend manages to bring a refreshing honesty to her performance, thankfully defying an easy stereotype to fall into. Similarly, Russell Brant raises several laughs as her spacey, pretentious new age rocker boyfriend, an essential spark of vibrant comedic life which always serves to benefit the picture. The same goes for Apatow stalwarts Jonah Hill and Paul Rudd, both making hilarious use of minuscule supporting parts as an obsessive waiter and brain-dead surfing instructor respectively. Occasionally clunky and overly syrupy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall remains sweet and likable enough throughout to make it worth its while, though it suffers by comparison to its superior Apatow production predecessors. Nonetheless, what it lacks in belly laughs, the film makes up for in heart, making it an enjoyable if slightly forgetful film worth seeing for any fans of the genre. -6.5/10",7 "What is NOT working: The story and cinematographic quality Did anyone read the books Netflix people?! Witcher's universe is rich and detailed with how the world works - several cities, people and their stories, interesting characters, Slavic mythology, monsters, but what more there is religion, economy, wars, politics and intrigue... I can go to details, (Alchemy anyone, for just a small example?! Why are witchers using only one potion that makes their eyes 'cool demonic black' whilst there is a plethora of potions and alchemistic stuff to use?!), but I won't, as it would take a dissertation work to brake this down. I understand that this is an adaptation and there are factors such as time, people management, budget etc., but that doesn't excuse the cringy dialogues, not using the world and it's richness at all, following the main heavily adjusted story line, trying to make the characters cool at all costs, poorly used story and other. It's just very Netflix- like and that's it - it lacks quality. I like Henry as an actor (especially as a Superman) and I think he is really cool guy in general (nerd 💪), but Witcher doesn't look like Henry at all, ok? Henry is too buffed and hunky and the wig looks so fake sometimes. There needs to be Oh my... That black armor Henry wears? The one with the silver points, that always looks like new and not battered by many fights with a 'cool design', and illogical format? And the other costumes and clothes the actors wear? It's not all so bad, but it's like there is not a single historian/person qualified to oversee this. I liked the music, some actors and their acting and some scenes, but this was pain to watch.",1 "Context: I'm a single, straight, childless, 40+ yo dude who rides motorcycles, does kickboxing, and drinks my whisky neat. So I'm probably not what you would think is the target audience, which is why I went in with a ""let's see what the fuss is all about"" attitude more than genuine interest. What a surprise! They made it very fun and entertaining and I truly laughed out loud at a few jokes. I also really appreciated the message, though a bit on the nose at times. While the plot, directing, and production value are good, it really is the cast that is selling this movie and I applaud all of them, supporting characters included. A bit surprisingly, my only word of warning: I would probably not let younger children watch it as some jokes and overall storyline might not be for them.",7 "The show holds potential and it's an intriguing concept, but the lead actress is simply unwatchable. Once you notice it, it's nearly impossible to focus on anything else.",7 I absolutely loved this show. Everything was great. Aside from episodes 3 which was mediocre every other episode was absolutely amazing. Definitely a must watch. Can't wait for s2.,8 "I liked it but thought it pretentious and all things American, It was light on plot but I did like the chemistry between Emma stone and lead guy!! I really would not take my friends to see it as it is too over the top. Great performances but not worth all the Oscar buzz. Modern day musical and great screen sets. Where is the plot? , I mean there is one but too thinly veiled to make it Oscar nominations. I saw ""Lion"" now that film deserves the awards. ""La La land"" is a good title for it is mediocre and full of itself. But not all bad, I went on my own and think I enjoyed it because we Aussies would be embarrassed to see this and have discussions on the deep and meaningful thoughts of this movie. So go for it, it either a like it or hate it.",5 "This movie has nothing to watch, nothing to feel & nothing interesting to know.

Lots of action: check. Really bad dialogue: check. Story: not even close. I have no idea what Ryan Reynolds is doing in this movie. It's way below his level! The stunts are well performed, but that's it.",4 "I'm shocked that so many people are rating this 9 or 10 out of 10 stars. I'm amazed that so many people are calling this the best movie of 2008 and the best super hero movie of all time. This was an ""OK"" movie. Not a great movie, not even a great super hero movie. As far as the plot is concerned, it was mediocre, a bit scrambled, and didn't really offer anything new. And did I mention it was too long? As a rule, I love long, epic movies, but this just exhausted me. I walked out of the theater thinking it was too long. It just went on and on. And not in an adventurous way, which probably would have made me appreciate the longevity. No, it just dragged on...just when you thought they were wrapping things up, you realized that a whole other part nine was just getting starting to get greased up. If someone who loves long epic movies is sitting there thinking ""oh my god, it's not over *yet*?!"", there's a problem. As far as Heath the Joker is concerned: No. I mean ""no"", as in No, it was not a Oscar performance. Cool, yes. Different, yes. Understated in a good way, yes. But Oscar-spellbinding? No. I wouldn't even have minded seeing more of the Joker, because just like the the first Tim Burton Batman, the directors of both managed to make the main character, Batman, about as interesting as wet paper bag (sure, the actors didn't help much), so more wacky Jack Nicholson or surreal and twisted Heath Ledger would have been very welcome. Which brings me to Batman himself...I couldn't understand half of his dialogue because of this over-played bassist growl that Christian Bale emoted in all of his Batman lines. What the hell was that? Could anybody understand a word he was saying? I thought it was me, but I would turn to my girlfriend and ask ""what did he say?"", and she would shrug, and I noticed others doing the same. Far and away from being the best super hero on screen, light-years away from X-Men, Spiderman, and dare I say it...even the first Ang Lee Hulk, which I still think gets a bum rap. Should have been titled Batman Unmemorable (because I really can't remember much about it all or what happened.) 6 of 10.",6 "I have to admit, i never thought that a spider-man movie could be one of my favorite movies of all time, but it has happened. I never was a really huge fan of the first one, it seemed a little corny at some parts and i just couldn't take it seriously, but it was an entertaining movie none-the-less. This time everything is better. We no longer have to sit through half of the movie waiting for character development, so the movie seems to move at a faster pace. where as the first one relied a lot on action and had a little romance thrown in, this one adds much more suspense, romance, and well, better action. There was certain parts in the movie where i was gripping my chair and holding my breath because the suspense was so awesome, especially the scene where a certain person tries to have a surgery on the back but things don't work out as planned. If you are looking for a romantic movie to see with your date, believe it or not, this movie will qualify. It expands on the idea that Peter Parker can't show his true feelings for Mary Jane due to the consequences. Just as in the first one, the romance between these two characters plays a big part in the movie. The graphics are truly awesome. The first spider-man movie tried so hard to blend CGI effects with real people, but it was fairly obvious when CGI was used, which gave it a more ""cartoony feeling"". Remember the way spider-man flipped through the air in the first one? It seemed so unrealistic to me how he moved through the air, well in this one spidey seems to move at a more realistic pace and style, it's hard to describe, but if i saw spider-man swinging through the skies, this is the way i would imagine it. Mr. Raimi does a magnificent job in this one to use CGI only when it is needed, and when he does use it, it's hard to tell if it is CGI or not. So in other words, the graphics are much more convincing. And i cant forget to mention the comedy, it helped lighten up the movie and made it even more entertaining. So please, see this movie, even more than once if you want to. It simply doesn't get much better than this.",10 This is best movie which is delivered by bollywood go and watch it!!,10 "Loved this. My hubby and I are Star Trek, Stargate, X Files, Doctor Who etc fans, big ones. I truly love the majority of sci-fi series out there.

The Lead ensemble actors were great, big fan of Toby Stephens and Parker Posey, wow can this woman act, Brilliant !! I truly hope there will be a 2nd season. Please bring it back.",9 "I watched it in three parts because I was so utterly bored and hoping each time I came back it would get better. It didn't. Terrible cast, acting, writing, story progression with no clear purpose. I could find no good reason to recommend this movie to anyone. Just a bunch of one liner cringe acting scripted type crap. Netflix just can't seem to do anything right anymore. I feel bad for the people that actually paid to watch this crap in a theater. Like a slow moving tortoise with no direction. Trust me on this one, skip this. There is no story value, no entertainment value and it's just a mess from top to bottom. Major disappointment.",2 "A complete waste of time. * Weak script; * Poor performances (even from the lead character). * Some nice flying - yes. But the rest is not worth it. I guess people have fond memories of the original Top Gun movie, which was original, and much better indeed. This version is made just for the box-office. Racial and gender diversity is added, probably with the intention to reach wider demographic. Adds little to the plot. I did fall asleep 3 times while watching, and found myself asking the question 'Why am I even watching this?' As someone funnier than me summed it up: ""Two-hour propaganda ad for defense contractors, militaristic, jingoism, and bombing foreigners."" ""The weapons porn"" Not that I expected much of Tom Cruise, but I saw reviews saying the remake was better than the original, so I fell for that. No, it's not better. It's much worse. Save yourself some disappointment, and see a real good movie.",3 It is not a bad film but it is fair to give it 5/10. Some parts of the movie was so boring that I couldn't stop checking my phone.,5 "I'll put it very simply, I think this movie was really cool. Excellent story, visual effects, action, all of it combined masterfully to create a great film that delivers entertainment and style throughout, without sacrificing a good plot. It has all the right elements and the cool elements in a proper balance making it fun yet not dumb. I liked a lot Iron Man 1 and I think if you also did so, then you would most likely like this one too. I really like films of this genre like Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Hellboy 2, Watchmen and I think both Iron Man films are up to the level. It's great to see that this sequel is as good or even better than the first one. I absolutely recommend this movie, it kicks major ass.",10 "This show is about being stranded and working together to get back into space and travel, life becomes tough for the Robinson family when the space rocket can't launch, lots of hazards with the engine starting, it is really good and fun to see how they will get the spacecraft or rocket going up again. That with the presence of a machine type alien who Will and also the family members are unsure what to do with it. This show is very good when they have to rebuild and is also fun when they complete their jobs and are allowed back on the crew, it was good to see some members make big changes from being bad people.",8 "I watched the first season and loved it, then a year or two went by and I forgot all about this show. One day I remember this show with a sad guy who lives in a weird house and steals a car and can't remember the name of this show. I try Reddit and my search my Netflix/prime watch history to no avail. Then one day, Netflix suggests this show with a new season and eureka.. it's the show!! What are the chances!! Anyways, I liked it and binged this series. It has a Jason Bateman-esque vibe to it. Juno meets Bates motel maybe. Try it out.",8 "I'm not sure that my mind is capable of the 5 dimensional thinking that this film requires. I do think that with time and re-viewing, it could be something that I really like, but after just one sitting, I'm still a bit confused. It needed about another twenty minutes to slow everything down a bit and explain a bit more clearly how the whole concept worked. Of course that would have made the film too long then, but it did seem a bit rushed. It's a very clever story and the idea is actually quite fascinating, it's filmed well and acted well and the special effects are very good. My favourite Tom (Hardy) is perfect in his role and even Ellen Page does a good job (Not her biggest fan - She tried to steal Bobby from Rogue in X-Men, which I can never forgive her for (We all knew he was gay anyway)). The Gruncle thought that Joseph did a great job, but I personally would have liked to see him and Leo swap roles. I think he's much more the dreamer and the heart, where Mr Di is more suited to Joseph's part, but we know that his name is too big for that. I'm glad I've watched it and would be keen to read a novelisation to understand it a bit more. I believe there is another film that helps to explain how they all got there in the first place, which I would also be eager to see. I think the rating will go up when I watch it again.",6 "I can proudly say that I recall the original TV series of 'Lost in Space' it was fantastic escapism for a young boy. Now all these years between and a fantastic remake with lots of twists and turns along with character remodelling, what more can a person wish for. OK, it is not perfect but in no way on Earth is as bad as some armchair critics seem to imply. Some of the sub-plots were easy to predict the outcome but these were subtle leads to play with, which all Movies and TV series have weaved in their productions. The special effects were well presented and looked real enough to enjoy the production. People really do need to understand the genre in which this series has been made for, it is Science Fiction and as such it is not based on known science but fictional as the genre implies. All you need to do is to sit down, open you mind and eyes and be transported in to the future with the Robinson's for an hour each time. Don't be harsh.",9 "It's trying to be a serious, dramatic Forrest Gump, but even though it's overlong, at almost 3 hours, it tries to do so many things that it flux them up. Whenever it's supposed to be serious it comes off as childish and it's gob-smackingly obvious that the director is as green as they come. The main actress aroused interest, she seems to hold her end, playing quite nicely a kooky, perky, free-spirited young woman and a desperate, angry, depressed wreck, so her acting arsenal is quite well stocked. The protagonist was ok, don't know much about Asperger's, so I can't pronounce myself, although the movie does mention at the start that they take some artistic license with the condition. If it wasn't obvious from the score, I don't recommend it! There are great indian films out there, but this one approaches Bollywood quality too much, and that's undesirable.",6 "You people who gave it 10 stars don't watch too many documentaries, do you? Descovery has oh so many every day, but you watch only HBO and Netflix, no? This mini serie is a long boring documentary about Cernobîl. You could skip to the last episode to see what really happened, otherwise is a waste of time.",4 "Wonder Woman is the result of very little work on how the comics presents the character and too many unnecessary facts. The movie, unlike other superhero movies, didn't have the same purpose: to bring action and show the adventures that superheros go through. Instead, it shows issues concerning historical facts, like women's right to the vote, just to send a message that isn't what the movie follows, what unfortunately could make the film an over-two-hour boring experience. The film starts with the beginning of everything: Diana lives in Themyscira with the Amazons, with no contact with men. One day, a man who's escaping from the Nazis penetrates into the island, and (no surprise) is saved from drowning by Diana. From there on, she will be dragged everywhere by Steve, who uses her help to defeat the Germans. Some scenes were supposed to be funny by joking about Diana's innocence, like when she tries on some dresses and asks how women could fight a war wearing that. In that regard, the film succeeds but also fails at times - some jokes are just cringy. The movie takes place in the UK in the context of World War I, and that is, for me, its biggest letdown: Wonder Woman, a super strong hero, fights mostly against humans - soldiers in war and their guns. No need to say those scenes are, at most, interesting for the special effects, when she is in the trenches. On the other hand, there are no super villains yet for her to combat and give us the big emotion (as expected) of watching a DC movie. The final fight and the revelation happen at the end, which I found a very nice way to end the movie, with a well elaborated conversation between Diana and her god brother, who intends to lead humanity to do what he believes to be their fate: chaos and destruction. However, the movie, which throughout the past 2 hours had explored a romance between Diana and Steve, gave her a reason to fight for the humans, since she was in love with one (even though the sole purpose of Zeus creating the Amazons was for them to protect mankind). And, at that point, I could only be very sorry for Hollywood weakening such an icon of bravery. The feminine character is, unlike Batman, Superman, etc once more, portrayed as a compassionate helper rather than a strong protagonist.",2 "I am huge fan of Garlands work, but this show really doesn't do it for me. The show starts off promising, but ends up at a place where resolving the impossible philosophical hurdles the show has created for itself become the metric to which I judge the show. The acting is anemic, the dialog is bordering on genre parody and the way the show handles determinism makes me indifferent to what happens. The score, which is interesting, and the photography and set-design, which is gorgeous, become fancy packaging for an empty box.",3 "Keeping a track of most liked episodes S3 Men against fire",9 I feel like this show does not do what it wants to do with teen mental health and every time it is chritsized it rides out on this self righteous wave on how it rasies and suppourts issue when it is actullaly harms them by romanticizing and Dramatizing the some of the biggest problem that face teens today,3 "I watched this movie upon recommendations made by YouTube personalities and my god it stands on the hype it has created. The work on BGM, screenplay, story writing, pace of the story etc etc.. is amazing and in perfect proportion to make it a great thriller. There is no second in the movie where you feel like it is wasted, it keeps you on the edge of the seat and you do get scared, creeped out while watching the psycho villian which makers were aiming for.",10 "This show is a complete crash and burn. Dont waste your precious time watching it. Its so sad what they did to Loki in this show.... In this show he is 1000 times more pathetic than fat Thor. Consider yourself warned.... The first episode was very promising, but after that, the show just crashed. They took everything cool about Loki, and removed it from his character. He is normally intelligent, brave, sarchastic, funny, strong, can perform magic, is evil in a good way.. But. All of that dissappeared after episode 1. The last two episodes are just... I dont know if the director has even seen the movies in the MCU franchise, let alone if she knows what Loki stands for in the traditional folklore. Since she chose to portray Loki as the worst pathetic whining looser I have ever seen in the MCU universe. Not to mention the storyline which makes no sense. At all. I mean, dont try to think about whats going on, because it will become painfully clear that the screenswriters had as little of a clue as you as a viewer.. Stuff like this just makes me mad. They dont make movies/shows like they used to. Except offcourse for The Boys which is my new alltime favourite show...",2 "To begin I have not followed with the series of Harry Potter movies that have come out since ""The Sorcerer's Stone"" in 2001, but I was fascinated with this newest edition to the series ""The Deathly Hallows"" mostly from what others had been saying and the idea that the film would be split into two parts. So after deliberation, I went and saw the movie. To be fair, I did enjoy the film, from start to finish I was intrigued by the events that transgressed and began to get an understanding of the characters. I was a little slow in understanding the plot of the movie but gradually got a small idea as to what was happening. The actors all do a fair job with their roles and character development was one of those moments where the writing truly impressed me. The foreboding scenery and visuals aided to enhance the seemingly hopeless plight of the characters and some of the dialogue further added to the mood of the film. However, I do have to say that the film really isn't the same for one who first comes into the series. One really must have seen some of the other films to truly grasp what's going on in this one. There were times when I thought that I knew what was happening in the story but then quickly began to question myself after something else happened. Sometimes I couldn't really understand the dialogue and that left me feeling a little confused, which persisted throughout the film. In conclusion I have to say that ""Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,"" while entertaining, was just alright to me. For those who have seen the other movies might think that this movie is great, but I just didn't get that same feeling. However, I will say that the film did get me interested in the series just from seeing this film and I can safely say that I am looking forward to seeing part 2.",7 "Not I only watched. I felt this movie. It has been a wonderful time to watch this movie. What a class movie. All the character were doing justice with their role. And I salute to you Farhan you have done it very commendable role with a great dedication. I could not move in the whole movie, every scene was describing a complete story. Even there are so many heart touching scene, tears were in my eyes. I was shouting when Milkha Singh was winning the race. Sir Milkha Singh, you are real hero who had made a great effort with superb dedication. Movie is amazing, It is worth to watch it. And for you Sir Milkha Singh, I salute from bottom of my heart, A great athlete ( A great Flying Sikh)",10 "4 episodes in and this is turning out to be pretty good. My only previous acquaintance with this scandal had been the book Bad Blood from the Wall Street author John Carreyrou which paints the founder of the scam biomedical company Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes, as a cardboard cutout psychopath. This web series, on the other hand, tries to humanize her and at least makes the audience understand her world from her point of view. It reaffirms my suspicion that Elizabeth definitely had it in her to be a pioneer and iconoclast, just that she was just too impatient and wanted to accomplish everything in life before turning 30. It's sad that this show isn't catching on as it should have. Also, Amanda Seyfried is pulling off a pretty convincing Elizabeth Holmes.",8 "From the trailer and the songs 'Secret Superstar' might just look like a story of a girl who has a dream to become a singer. But, the movie has more to offer than just that. However, there are only a few things that could have been better. In the first half the movie takes the momentum up but then after a few sequences, it falls flat. The first half surely required a tighter screenplay. Even the runtime could have been shorter as there are a couple of sequences that were not much required and could have been edited out. While we get emotional at the end of the film, the 'Sexy Baliye' track at the end credits spoils the take away feel. We wish the makers could have got away with it. Zaira Wasim has done full justice to the role and we think she should be ready to take awards home once again. Meher Vij known for her small role in 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' (Munni's mother) is simply outstanding as Najma. She has essayed the role of a helpless mother torn between her daughter's dreams and her conservative husband to the tee. Raj Arjun is so good as Insia's father that you will start hating him once you leave the theatres. Special mention to Kabir Sajid (Insia's brother) and Tirth Sharma (Insia's friend), they are very good in their respective parts. Now let's talk about Aamir Khan. He once again proves that he can carry any role given to him. As Shakti Kumaar, Aamir will leave you in splits. Because this film is about Zaira Wasim we are not going to talk much about Aamir and let Zaira get all the spotlight. Overall, 'Secret Superstar' is an emotional yet an entertaining film. A must watch!",6 """Bhaag Milkha Bhaag"" is a great creation on Sardar Milkha Singh's real life. The backgrounds of 1950-60s were shown very well. As well Singh's life as being the best athlete of that time can be seen along with the emotional part of his life.. The problems he has faced during the time of partition of the country were too emotional. But how he achieved the success by converting into an athlete from an Indian Sepoy gives a change to his story which never stopped throughout his life.. He made a lot of records and gives pride to our country which is speechless. HatsOff to Sardar Milkha Singh & this movie which is fully dedicated to him.",10 "There can be no doubt the 2 lead actors in TFATWS are great, however Disney are now adding Marvel to their list of woke properties along with Star Wars, despite the ratings telling them not to. This show could have been great.... a lot of the action scenes are great, but the writing is like most other franchises, Star Wars, Star Trek, DC on the CW..... enough already, what next Terminator 5 - Safe Space Day.",4 Tedious. Made with checkmarks in mind. Not compelling as a crime series nor a drama.,1 "This was well done and interesting - especially the final three episodes. 🙌🏽Jolene!🙌🏽 IMO: This would've been better as a 2-hour movie than a series of seven (SEVEN!!) long episodes.",6 "12 June 2011. The sequel out of necessity was unable to capture the freshness and the character development of the first movie and had to rely more on the action thrills and more of the me vs. them plot of good and evil. There were so slow parts but by the end the emotive climax was solid. The movie was helped along with some substantive and well balanced tidbits of one-liners of humor and the involving action sequences (some reminiscent of Croaching Tiger, Flying Dragon (2000) animated style maintained the momentum and interest in the movie. The actors' voices were less pronounced and distracting as it appeared that the sources of the real actors didn't seem to be so identifiable, except Jack Black, and enabled the audience to focus more on the animated characters than the actual actors as actors themselves.",7 "I understand that this story is about the daily life of a taxi driver and what happens when he wants to change his routine, but honestly there where a lot of details that I don't consider necessary. The end was so chaotic and violent, with no reason and the last scene was so unnecessary for me.",5 "What more can I say about this amazing show that hasn't already been said. Quite frankly, it's beyond amazing. It's THAT SHOW. That one show and you can continuously go back to year after year hoping to find something wrong with it, just one small flaw, yet you just can't. The storyline, the character development, the plot development, the animation. It's as close to perfection as it gets. Every single character and every single plot line is thought out to such perfection, and drawn out to such satisfaction, it's unbelievable. I think I speak for everyone who has seen the show, when I say, I would love to have a cup of tea with uncle Iroh.",10 "Someone is killing a GREAT Avenger character by writing a horrible spinoff. I LOVED LOKI in the Avengers and he has fallen flat in these spinoffs. The story is lame, the characters are weak, the dialog makes no sense and I truly feel bad for what was once a very funny, witty, ""evil"" but passionate character. Hopefully there will be some sort of redemption in future episodes but so far, there's no hope in sight. I would like to understand why they are spinning the story off into this mindless direction. It's almost as if the audience will follow along because they loved Loki so much in the Avengers. I, for one, will stop watching this entirely soon if it doesn't get better.",4 "It's a bane of any director who makes a really good movie early on in his career that each of his subsequent creations are fated to be compared with the famous one, and Ashutosh Gowariker did have a tough act to follow. But let's talk of Swades without the shadow of Lagaan looming over it. And boy does it impress! The first plus point of Swades is that Shah Rukh Khan acts. He actually appears happy here that he has managed to bag one rare movie where the director has made some use of his acting skills. There are just two-three short instances where he returns to his typical habit of making funny faces, and that's pretty tolerable. Otherwise he does a really good job of the role. I hope he gets a Filmfare for this, not for Veer Zaara. Gayatri Joshi is good too. Better than Gracy Singh. Sorry, we were not supposed to have comparisons. Her dialogue delivery is awkward at places, but otherwise a really nice job in a first movie. Of course having a strong role helped. The rest of the actors put up a very competent show too. The lady who plays Shah Rukh's nanny (who I later came to know is named Kishori Balal) keeps away from the typical melodrama seen so often in our movies. In fact there's very little 'filmi' in the movie. Things are very realistic, not exactly real-life, but closer to it. Gowariker makes full use of NASA and we probably have the first rocket-launch in a Hindi movie here. The children are not the obnoxious kind that we typically see in present-day Hindi movies. The village is very authentic. Compare it with Karan Johar's glossy Chandni Chowk in K3G. The situations and people's reactions in those situations are authentic. The songs gel in very nicely with the story and you enjoy them thoroughly. The title-song which is the last song in the movie could be a tear-jerker for NRIs, quite like Chitthi aayi hai from Naam in the 80s. The story (and for a rare occasion in recent Hindi movies we do have one here) is good. The movie has a proper flow, and I don't know if there's a technical term for it. So technically and screenplay-wise Swades is very good. One more point to Ashutosh Gowariker. But Swades is not perfect. Far from it actually. One obvious flaw is that the sermonizing gets to you after a point. The movie is close to three-and-a-half hours long and you feel it. And despite having its heart in the right place, the movie starts working against the message it is trying to convey if people get so bored that they start leaving the hall. In fact the songs are so good that at times you wish that a song would come by to relieve you of the rubbing in that the audience is being subjected to. And that is why I feel it's very difficult for this movie to be a big hit. But I would love to be proved wrong. It's the kind of movie that Gowariker couldn't have made with a big star in the lead or couldn't have sold to distributors if he didn't have Lagaan on his resume. There are some other issues like run-of-the-mill cinematography but I think they aren't really important here. What we have here is competent enough. On the whole I would say that the plus points far outweigh the negatives. It's no classic (and I consider Lagaan a classic) but probably the best Hindi movie that we've had this year. I say probably only because I am not in the mood to recall the names of other movies released this year. So please go and see the movie, and if possible in a hall. Movies like these should do well. Movies like these should be tax-free. Movies like these should be made more often.",8 "Just because Henry was cast as Geralt, I'll give it 1 Star. Awful, confusing and literally a garbage in comparison to the games and the books.",1 "Barely got through the first episode. Very boring, bad acting, unending dialogue about nothing of interest.",3 "This is really one of the stupidest movies i've ever seen. Politically correct casting, incoherent storytelling, god awful plot, cardboard characters with random totally inexplicable actions, just...ugh. The thing that causes people in the movie to commit suicide is not even vaguely explained and tends to change throughout the movie. There are people who are immune to whatever it is, also they're bad for some reason. Regardless of your political leanings, they shoehorned a really bad joke into a scene that just didn't make any sense and you can tell the actors were like why would anyone say this phrase during a situation like this? A guy shows up with a bunch of spooky looky drawings that have nothing to do with literally anything. And at the conclusion of the film literally nothing is resolved, the movie doesn't ""end"" it just stops. Utter trash, not to mention it's a rip off of a M. Night movie that came out like ten years ago. Only impressionable morons who like exactly what their facebook feed tells them to like could possibly enjoy it. Don't be fooled by the hype, you'll be glad you skipped this stinker.",1 "OK, so I've seen Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Star Wars Trilogy, Titanic, The Godfather, and all those other films that contest the sought after prize of Best Movie Ever. Well, I don't know if The Godfather Part II is that movie, but it sure feels like it sometimes. I love all those other movies, except maybe Star Wars. And yet I still keep coming back to Part II. The pull of both Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino in one movie is too much, and this is a better movie than Heat. It's got all you need- family, love, violence (a lot), passion, violence, opulent scenery, violence, what more do you need?",9 "I hated this movie the first time round, I didn't know it was a Bay film so was expecting more tag I ought to have. I'm a story girl so the razor thinnes and nonsensical nature of the story was ripe for peppering with snarky comments and snorts of disbelief. All of the characters that aren't Ryan Reynolds are kind of meh and even he seems a little off in this. As a person with a permanent tan I fully resented the whole rich white saviour bs. Second time around the movie is way more fun. I knew not to question anything and came prepared to roll with it. I really enjoy the action scenes and happily watch it with my partner.. The only thing that would make it better would be for all of the story to be stripped so we can watch an action reel.",6 "Possibly one of the most dull, tedious and plodding series I have watched. The plot meanders all over the place, there is too much dialogue, little action and 90% seems to be set at night. I fail to understand the high ratings. Only Kate Winslet gives this any kind of appeal.",2 "I enjoyed season one and season 2. Season 2 was weaker than first season in terms of plot line and motives. But still the characters are awesome. One thing I don't like is the acting from some characters. However, it's a different spin on superhero show/film where marvel and DC have become very formulaic. I am looking forward to season 3.",8 "Undeniably, the greatest sequel ever made. However, one thing I will never understand.... Bruno Kirby. Why?",9 "Pulp Fiction has be the most overrated and over hyped movie of all time. It is absolutely bewildering and mind bogging how such a film received such praise. Tarantino is a great director but this movie is by far his worst production. A number of people criticize the non- linear storytelling and some vigorously defend it. But I feel movies need to add value, you walk away enjoying the experience. Movies are not made well just for the heck of it. Pulp fiction in no way adds value. It is a disorganized mess with fruitless story lines. The only redeeming aspects of this circus of a film is the acting and soundtrack. People rave about this mediocre film, well they also sold a lot of tickets on the Titanic.",4 "When a director as renowned for his storytelling and directional ability like Nolan makes a movie everyone expects nothing but gold. Dunkrik is good movie and has some great parts to it. however i really do not understand why people are considering it in par his other movies like the prestige or the dark knight trilogy let alone inception. The story is seriously lacklustre and while has a really good starting and parts in between; it left me with a sense of more to be desired. the acting is very mediocre....and when it all does come together the only thing which holds it by the end is the amazing score by Zimmer. it lacks the meat, sauce and is dry in the core. the same scenes of the bombers dropping bombs on destroyers are played over and over again like clockwork. I hope people do not go with a real high expectation because if you are nolan fan or of good war movies like the thin red line, Saving private ryan or band of brothers you will be disappointed",6 "1. D4 d5 2. C4, and the Queen's Gambit is on the board. As a former chess enthusiast, it was pretty sad that it took me this long to watch this series. The story was about Beth Harmon, a chess prodigy on her way of becoming another fictionalized Paul Morphy, both in a good and bad way. I was hooked in the first two episodes that set up the story. Her interaction with the janitor was interesting, and it was where Harmon's talent was discovered. From then on, the series became amusing as Harmon stomped over her opponents, as a prodigy should. There were quite a bit of chess jargons and moves mentioned that can satisfy chess enthusiasts, but there's not so much that would bore an average viewer. The show had couple of themes that we have seen before. Famous chess players, like artists, can be susceptible to drugs and alcohol, which can bring them down to a low point. Harmon's terrible childhood and some misguidance did not help her a lot. Also, obsession with chess, like other artistic media, can be dangerous and socially damaging. However, great social support can bring a person away from the low point. Overall, an entertaining drama that had a beautiful ending. 8/10.",8 "No other series has ever made me has a change of opinion so strong as this show did. Honestly, thrillers were never of my taste it much less graphic violence on movies and TV shows, however, after watching Hannibal I see it differently. Bryan Fuller somehow managed to make fight scenes look erotic and all the gore very beautiful to watch to.",10 "This is a show living from the 80-s genre. Stereotypical bad guys and the fantasy\sci-fi dominated that decade. This show catches the essence again in season 3. So don't be afraid. Just keep on watching and don't let these bad reviews about season 3 bother you. If you liked season 1 and 2, season 3 won't disappoint you. You will be happy, sad and grossed. Enjoy!!",9 "One of the best shows ever made. Everything is on point. Thank you for arunabh Kumar for staying back in india. The actors, screen play, direction, plot, scripts and every scene is well shot. Must watch. Highly recommend this to everyone to watch. I don't think anyone on the OTT platform have come even remotely close to making this master piece. The characters and the build up of the story from the highs to the lows and highs back up again. Do watch this show with your family and recommend it to all. If you've ever done a startup or known anyone who has, you'll relate to this show more than anyone.",10 "Not really sure how I can elaborate more on what other people have said, but yeah, very boring, long winded and confusing. If I hadn't watched the movie with someone who already saw it, I would have been lost. I had to keep pausing it and having them explain the plot to me. I was worried I was being a moron, but looking at other reviews, it seems I'm not the only one who was completely lost. Characters seemed to turn up out of completely nowhere, and some of the time, they're characters who have already been in previous scenes but since they weren't very well introduced or explained, I just kind of forgot they'd been in the film before. It's called ""crimes of grindalwald"", but he doesn't really do much of anything except walk around, all the film does is establish lore for the next movie. The reason I hated the first Fantastic Beasts was because it felt like one long trailer for the next movie. This movie just felt like a world building info dump for the third movie in what I presume will be a trilogy. I'm still waiting for the movie I went to watch 2 years ago and they keep holding it off. The characters aren't nice or lovable, or memorable, so when they turn evil or die, I simply don't care about it. The main character, whatever his name was, (just had to google it, Newt Scaramadger) is entirely unlikable and didn't really need to be in the film. Like, leave him as just a character for exclusively the first movie, and put all the content of the third movie into this one. all the grindlewald world building would only take like 15 minutes with him gone. And have grindlewald actually commit a ton of evil acts. His henchman does one or two bad things, but the man himself is legend for being a dark wizard and general menace, in this he just seems to be an extreme politician. I get the social commentary and all, but for a film called ""crimes of grindalwald"", i wanted to see him commit some. This film should have covered the period it skipped over. Why was grindalwald in jail? lets see him be friends with dumbledore. how did he become a dark wizard? all the stuff I'm actually interested in is skipped over, in favor of having some weird kid who turns into a floating black cloud who I don't care about be tracked down by everyone and treated like he has some important destiny that we aren't privvy to. But yeah, the plot was very messy and didn't make much sense. You shouldn't need a 300 IQ to piece together the plot of a Harry Potter film. I also felt myself questioning holes in logic in the wizarding world I never even had before, because this film didn't portray the universe very well. none of the charm of harry potter, just a bunch of special effects and a drab, predictable fantasy world that didn't make me excited one bit. Overall, will only watch the next one out of obligation, and will definitely wait until a friend or family member gets a DVD so I don't have to pay to see it.",1 "You can disagree, but I think the series is very well executed. It reminds me of Battlestar Galatica, in story ark and characters. Some people were comparing this with original 1968 series, and say there is nothing new here. But this is a reboot, not a new one. It is ok to reinterpret the series after half a century. All characters are shown with flaws, and the story is about overcoming them and uniting as a family. There is no attempt to deceive the viewer as the series does not attempt to give surprises (all mysterious elements are revealed in the first three series), but these revelations help increasing the tension. I liked how Dr. Smith is portrayed. Unlike the 1998 movie, the antagonist is very manipulative, psychopathic and menacing in many ways. I did not watch 1960s original, but having watched 1998 movie, this is a great step forward. Any reboot can be tricky, as it is near impossible to catch up with the original feelings. But it can try to generate the new one and this series deserves some credit.",9 "The post credit scene I felt was the best part of the movie, the entire movie was predictable and repetitive story and I love Venom I do, but the first one was better in my opinion. Regardless, give it a watch Marvel fans cause we need to be in the know haha.",7 I would like to thank Bird Box for reminding me to finally cancel my Netflix account.,1 "For those of us who loved this show and are sad to see it go why would they have 3 different breaks of 2 - 4 weeks over this last season in 2020 (unless they're trying to ease us into this demise slowly)? One month between eps 14 & 15, preceded by 3 weeks bet eps 12 & 13 and followed now by 2 weeks after tonight's episode on 3-18 before we see final shows on April 1.",8 "Random footages gathered together so created the so called 60s. 80% of the scenes are not contributing to the storyline, only the last 40 minutes make real sense. People who hyped it, plz have some sense of movie-appreciation.",4 "Can't get over the buzz around this one. Karl Urban is cool, I would watch him in anything. But this show is mostly very very average. Tedious and the ridiculous interspersed with the occasional entertaining moment. It just does not grab you at all. What is up with this site and the glowing ""reviews"" for mediocre stuff.",5 "This is the first movie Tom Cruise has done in a long time that I acutally liked. He plays a real guy Barry Seal, whom was recruited by the CIA to smuggle guns to South America. Along the way he got mixed up the drug cartels and started smuggling drugs back the USA. Of course, he made a lot of unexplained money and eventually it was all going to catch back up to him. The movie teaches a good lesson to remember: don't screw over the cartel. Barry met the fate that he couldn't out run once he was outed for spying for the US government on the cartels. FINAL VERDICT: Good story, worth a watch.",6 "I just finished Season 2 and now I'm hopeful that there's a Season 3 somewhere in the future. The writing remains strong, the action remains strong, and the addition of new characters seems mostly thoughtfully paced, rather than jammed in.",9 "Marvel was smart enough to market this as a coming together of two fascinating entities: Wolverine and a pretty little girl mutant. But what they failed to tell us, sadly, was that the story was going to take a tragically ill advised left turn later on, until the refreshingly simple concept of grizzled, battle weary Logan and his pretty little companion wound up in some Mad Max looking alternate world, where too many annoying, dull characters were wandered into the story and brought the whole production down a level. This had its moments, mostly from the concept alone, Wolverine and The Little Girl, but ultimately, it was a promise left frustratingly undelivered.",6 "The ""concept"" is great, the initial story line is interesting, the locations and scenery are realistic, but the execution and actual substance of the movie fall flat. The ""tense"" moments on the movie, work on the first two scenes, after that, it's just feels like artificial, fabricated tension. The story line stops making sense half way through the movie, don't really like the characters on a personal level, the logistics of military operations just don't add up it feels like 3 rouge soldiers on an unsupervised field trip, and from there the movie just drags, and drags, and drags. I wanted to see this movie based on all the hype and Oscars it received, man what a disappointment! The realistic settings may have impressed all the kids who are used to ""war video games"" , but to anyone who has ever been in Iraq, military combat or just plan done any type of photojournalism around the world, the movie is just a bore. I should say, it's not a ""bad"" movie, it's an average movie, with incredible hype, when you consider the hype, then it's a bad movie.",5 "As I write, the current IMDB rating for this series is 9.2, which places it among legendary series like The Wire, The Sopranos, or Game of Thrones. Please. This series incorporates themes from Children of Men (2006) and various post-apocalyptic road films, but does not rise to the level of the best of any of them. I am 5 episodes into the series and there are already some minor problems with the series, although it is highly watchable overall. The acting is decent, and some of the characters more likeable than others. Full disclosure, I haven't played the video game and was not even familiar with it before watching this series. It's a good series, but it's not worthy of an 8+ IMDB rating.",7 "Beautiful to look at, intriguing story and a great cast. What's not to like. Well, everything. In past times this would have been a Corman type 'b' picture. In today's age of media control it is Oscar winning art. Sorry, this is a poorly executed excuse for entertainment. Racism, bigotry, diversity, big brother,the cold war all played out in a base way with every plot line telegraphed. Hype will not persuade me this was the best film of 2018. Sadly disappointed and totally bemused by the the high ratings.",2 "I wasn't expecting much given it was a series about a guy that kills monsters, however I thought it totally won me over! Henry is an absolute beast in this performance, lived up to the character and changed throughout the series. That is the same as Anya, who is a complete unknown to me, shone through - the changes and how characters adapted, amazing. It nearly got me about the names of people, armies etc when they jumped timeline - but as I watch it became apparent and showed how well it was shot! Great for non fiction lovers, could be a great series over a number of seasons as I think it only really got started in finale with destiny playing its part! Will be big, possibly as big as Game of Thrones - along way to prove itself but certainly a great start! Season 2 please....",9 "I've seen lots of people comparing this to GoT's and the main reason it reminds me of it is because I enjoyed it so much. 20 minutes in and I knew this was going to be a binge watch because I couldn't stop watching. Henry Cavill is brilliant as Geralt, Yennefer is very nice and a fantastic character as is Jaskier who also brings some much needed humour. Yes it's not perfect and it could be clearer when it's doing flashbacks but I'm definitely a fan. I now need to read the books just as I did with GoT's. If you like action, sex, fast pacing and fun then this is definitely for you!",8 "Just for the record I'm not the biggest batman fan, even though I liked the tim burton version and watched the cartoon shows doesn't mean squat. I hated that awful batman beyond, the other batman sequels. So I'm 50/50 on batman. To me when I saw batman begins I was only anticipating a bad movie considering the fact that I did not enjoy any of Joel Schulmacher versions. When I finally saw batman begins I couldn't help but vomit. Why was this s**t a hit? I went to go see the sequel only cause I was on a date and she loved the Joker character, so thats how I ended up seeing the Dark knight film. When I watched the dark knight I was still expecting a bad flick with that awful music score and the cheesy deadpan acting with its dialogue that can put an 8 year old to sleep. Well I knew it wasn't that great from the get go. I'm aware of Heath ledgers tragic death. But a movie is still a movie and I hate the fact that they are overhyping it cause of his death and that makes me sick. The movie was downright disappointing to me. I apologize to all the comic book aficionados but I wasn't impressed. 1. The plot of the movie seems kind of out there: Manipulating a campaign to cause havoc? Like people give a crap about politics. 2. The Joker is overrated. Heath ledger didn't give a bad performance but the character of the joker is a far departure from all the other jokers. To me all I saw was ""the Crow"" with green hair. Whats with that thing he does with his tongue? As for his scars, they just remind me of the character ""Kakihara"" from ichi the killer. So I didn't get any kind of entertainment from the joker. 3. Batmans voice: Come on!! Thats the most laughable voice I ever heard on batman!! It sounds like he should be in a death metal band. I couldn't help but cringe. It sounded like fingers scratching against the chalk board. 4. Its boring music score. Your gonna tell me that it overshadows Danny elfman batman score? It was used in the damn cartoon!! The Danny elfman score is a work of music art. I don't even remember how the music went in this new batman film. I can go on even further into why I didn't like this batman film but it'll be longer so I'll just end it in the ups I thought should be mentioned. Twoface: Aaron Eckhart gave a great performance in a great re-introduction of the villain. Wheres his Oscar nom? Gary oldman: The man rules as commissioner gordan. As far as I see it, even if it beats out titanic or new york city gets re-named Gotham city. I wouldn't buy this film on DVD or blu-ray even if the Joker has a gun to my head. PS: Jack Nicholson still kicks Heaths ass!!",4 "After finishing season 3(in my opinion, the last season), I have been left with a bitter taste in my mouth. The Witcher started off very good way back in 2019. It had great actors, quick, edgy action scenes, stunning visuals, great music and interesting characters. Then of course, in the typical Netflix fashion, it was messed up because the writers and showrunners thought they could do better than the original story. The casting in this series is mostly good. They nailed casting Henry as Geralt, as the actor shows of his love for this world and the character, and you can clearly see it on screen. Also Freya Allan is really good as Ciri, and she looks the part. Both Henry and Freya play well off each other with every scene they are in Anya Chalotra was fine as Yennifer, most of the time. She isn't what the character is suppose to be, but the actress does a fine job. Joey Batey as Jaskier was a standout in season 1, after than he fell hard, and became irritating. The rest of the cast is... well. If you love the lore and story of the original novels, and have come to watch the series due to your love of the games, you will be extremely angry at the casting here. They messed up hard on almost every other character. They changed everything from the looks, to their personalities. Overall, only few actors actually do a good job in their roles. The story is muddled, and all over the place. Even in season 1, everything is weirdly put together and you don't figure out until near the end of the season, that you've been viewing things from different times. As the seasons progress, things get worse. The story becomes inconsistent, characters change drastically, and it goes from being an interesting, dark world, to a CW series, with cringe dialogue, teenage drama ect. While this series does follow some major story beats of the novels, it diverges so much that it becomes this weirdly put Frankenstein's monster of a series. The production is fine for the most part, with some amazing scenes of visuals, locations, costumes (not counting the literal garbage armour for soldiers in season 1), make-up and monster designs. Those behind the scenes, that weren't directors and writers, put a lot of effort into the look and feel of this series. The music too, was really good, and most of us have heard of the now iconic ""Toss a a coin to your Witcher"" song. Who would have though that the series that popped out that great tune, would become one of the worst shows of its kind. Overall, The Witcher started out great, and declined right after that. It has become so different from its original material, that it feels like the creators of this show, and Rings of Power are competing with each other, to see who ruins its source material the most. Could you imagine how amazing this series could have been if HBO got a hold of it? With the right cast, directors, writers and showrunners, we could have had something that could have gone down as one of the best series out there. But no, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich thinks she knows these characters and this story better than the actual author. And because of that, we have gotten this failure of a series. 5/10.",5 "Did you ever experience paying a King's ransom to watch a live theatre performance only to eventually and disappointingly walk out of the theatre saying WTF? Well maybe the $9.95 per month Disney charges to watch Only Murders in the Building isn't a King's ransom, but I do value the 30 plus hours Mrs. Shullivan and I invested in watching the first three seasons and yes, we were disappointed. I have always enjoyed both Steve Martin and Martin Short's physical comedy but their banter back and forth each and every episode with their moderator and third amigo Selena Gomez who plays Mabel Mora, the interior designer and artist, was nothing more than boring banter. Steve Martin plays. Charles-Haden Savage an unemployed TV star from a long forgotten crime series as the 1990's TV Detective Brazzos. Martin Short plays the most unluckiest stage director Oliver Putnam, and unlike having the Midas touch it seems any play Oliver creates falls flatter than actress Cara Delevingne's chest. Mrs. Shullivan and myself watched the first couple of episodes and we realize that you have to invest some time in the first few episodes of any new TV series before you can actually assess whether or not, a TV series is both entertaining and intriguing. Unfortunately we continued watching each and every episode of the first three (3) seasons and the banter between the three (3) actors just continued to get more meaningless as did the storylines. There are quite a few cameo appearances by first rate film and/or stage actors such as Nathan Lane, Amy Ryan, Paul Rudd, Tina Fey, Michael Rapaport, and even Meryl Streep, but even with all that talent and the mantra ""the show must go on"" , I asked Mrs. Shullivan ""how much more of this boring series do you want to endure?"" The series has a considerable amount of time on the actual stage of New York City's iconic 3,400-seat United Palace Theater which is another failed attempt of trying to convince us the audience we are watching a live stage performance for only $9.95 a month, rather than the average $400 ticket price for a front row Broadway experience. Actress Noma Dumezweni plays stage critic Maxine Spear and if her opinion counts, she's not a fan of stage director Oliver Putnam's plays, and unfortunately neither are Mrs. Shullivan and I. But as the late great P. T. Barnum always said ""There's a sucker born every minute"" Welcome to the club. I give this TV series a passable 5 out of 10 IMDb rating and I would really like a refund from the Disney channel.",5 "This is awesome. I love the combo like Crime, Murder Mystery, Thriller, Comedy really enjoy this. Good Script and Brilliant Casting.",10 Sam is a good protagonist but sometimes he is really fool and the antagonist is so boring and useless.,7 "Following Knives Out with an equally engaging mystery and impressive ensemble cast was always going to be a tall order. The players in this complex whodunit sequel are passable, but the material they have to work with is nowhere near as clever, it being possible for most attentive and alert viewers to stay ahead of the game throughout, the clues hidden in plain sight. This being the case makes world famous detective Benoit Blanc's supposedly brilliant deductive reasoning seem far less impressive. The opening act is a bit of a bore, director Rian Johnson introducing his characters with little flair, and Elon Musk-style billionaire Miles Bron's invitation to his island lacking in the necessary intrigue (almost everyone invited is his friend and he does the same thing every year). The film is at its best during the middle act, when events are recapped and Johnson starts to pull the threads together, allowing the viewer to nod sagely at the fact that they correctly worked things out before they were revealed on screen. The final act, on the other hand, is weak: instead of surprising the audience with something really clever, the film trundles on exactly as expected, with all of the remaining, supposedly morally bankrupt characters conveniently doing an about turn on their personalities at the same time, so that Bron will have to answer for his crimes. Add some COVID-related nonsense that already makes the film feel dated, and what you have is a disappointingly mediocre effort that I hazard a guess will be the last Knives Out mystery.",5 "Entertaining plot of casual determinism packed in noir sci-fi thriller package with time travel paradoxes and transgender elements. The tragedy of the movie is that the plot is somewhat stretched and it requires rewatching to fully comprehend it but I doubt it is a performance viewers want to see multiple times. It plays with the viewers curiosity to learn how the story is unfolding but putting them in self referenced iteration. The plot drags some elements to the very end only to reveal some facts that are neither satisfying or hinted before. Once reveled there is no eureka moment yet a mild satisfaction of knowing where the title comes from. It is rather gimmicky than honest story hence the passive aggressive quotation marks on my review title.",5 "This is one of the best TV show's in the last years! I think that friends,x-files, prison break...are very good but 24....there aren't no words for that!! BEAUTIFUL!! Keefer Sutherland... this show take me to many things like courage, friendship, trust ...etc! For me the actor's are very god and the drama but if you already see it i have to ask you something: Do you ever want to be like jack Bauer??' ...

The #1 rule about a good movie is a good story.... and there is nothing original here, as expected. Ok... If you don't have #1, try to have characters viewers will sympathize with.... Strike two here. You don't care about any of these guys...and that is usually Ryan Renolds strength to make you like his character. But not here... So yes... I hit the fast forward a lot during this and ended up regretting watching it at all. And I am an easy audience for action movies. The FILMING of the action sequences was great... I mean the technical aspects of it and the special effects... but when you don't care about the outcome... So if you are debating between watching this vs another movie, pick the later. Chances are you'll be right.",2 "I tried after being repulsed by the first episode to give it a chance with the second. Had to shut it off. As others have mentioned in their reviews the casting, hair and makeup and production in general is not good, but the worst casting was of the princess who acts 12 who is supposed to be 15 and is always looking pouty. It appears they are giving her a bigger role which the girl cannot handle. Too many bad choices for this production. Hair and makeup is really bad. Bad wigs and nothing that looks real. The CG is lacking as well. Was it money that made this such a poor production or was it the producers' choices. Not sure about the story. Seemed lean. Very disappointing because of the choices that they have made. It appears they try to repulse the audience at any opportunity with the shots they make. Too bad. GOT is dead.",2 Shows story amazing but casts are fit properly for roles.,7 "Quentin Tarantino so obviously has no ability for creating a decent story in his movies (see my ""Reservoir Dogs"" review) that for this one he chose to give it a title that would excuse its ridiculousness. As I said in my ""Reservoir Dogs"" review, the man is hopelessly plot driven, which means that he can't create a story in which events naturally happen, so he has to MAKE them happen any way he can. For instance, it's bad enough that in ""The Gold Watch"" he creates a pathetic excuse for Bruce Willis to have to go back to his apartment, but then how could he make it so that Willis is able to outwit John Travolta, who is waiting there for him? Have Travolta idiotically leave his machine gun on the counter while he is using the bathroom! Come on! And then in ""The Bonnie Situation,"" how could he make the accident in the car happen? Have Travolta completely unnaturally rest the gun on the car seat over his shoulder while he talks with Marvin! And Tarantino introduces the Wolf only for him to give Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson obvious advice for how to solve their problem while he mouths off humorous comments. Anyone wonder why Tarantino has disappeared now? Because he used up all the unoriginality he had.",2 "I have no idea why the numerous 9 and 10 stars ratings. I like series of superheroes and I get that scenes of violence and dead bodies and whatever will come with them. But I'm in the 4rth episode and it's enough. The story and mystery waiting to be resolved is not strong enough to make keep watching and no, fast forwarding every time there's a scene of someone being tortured in close up and detail is not the solution. I haven't seen not even some humor to lighten up a bit. It's really depressing overall; their past, their present, the apparent future. Maybe 2020 is not the best year to begin watching this? Bye bye. I don't understand why the hate to Ellen Page either. Do people know that it's the role she was given? She's acting very well with the character she has to portray. I'll read some synopsys and that's all.",2 "With the charm of Linklater's dazed and confused and the wit of any Rogan/Apatow movie in recent history, this day long triumph of a film is rolling in jokes and steeped in awkward but hilarious acting. The film delivers so many knockout punches that you come out of the theater your head swarming with moments that you know you almost died laughing at but can't even remember the punchline. The R rating is rightfully deserved, but the gratuitous f bombing by Jonah Hill comes off as natural and easy. Michael Cera's quirky shyness comes off as authentic and empathetic while McLovin's weird self confidence is oddly disarming and as said by the cast itself, 'Can only be explained by him having a large (Explitve Deleted). The two cop characters are like every police academy movie rolled into one times ten and with thirteen road beers to go. In summation, this is the best comedy of the year and the best in recent history, no joke.",10 """If you brought a 7 year old girl to see this movie she would neither have fun nor be happy at all"" And this was my girlfriend's statement as soon as we left the cinema. I see it as an ok movie, occasionally very entertaining but overall chaotic, a bit cliché and even boring at times. Solid 6/10, i've seen worse but pales in comparison to The Lego Movie and other ""nostalgic intellectual property movies"" such as Mario Bros, which can contain deep messages without ruining the whole thing as I feel Barbie did. I have to give credit to the numerous exhilarating scenes with the Kens and the CEO, stereotyping done right IMHO.",6 "A Bostonophiles series. You kind of have to know the general late history, ethnic makeup, neighborhoods, culcha, of the area . I grew up around Boston and its like old home week for me. Boston has a veneer of education, money, etc.but underneath are a lot of working class people. Among them you have a subclass of druggies, crminals, mafia, shysters, and this series focuses on them. The police are kind of corrupt and racist. Racism among the worki ng class is big, and Boston was a racist city. You have a lot of ethnic division. This is set in the early 90's , with the Big Dig going on. That turned into a corrupt bloated farce,of course. I think it ultimately cost $17 billion ,tremendously over the budget. I expected more reference to the corrupt FIB agent and his work with Whitey Bolgers Winter Hill gang. Maybe that will come on. Kevin Bacon is over the top as a sleazy FBI agent. I don't think the actual FBI character was as openly blatant as Bacon acts. How bad was Boston? Whitey Bolger was a gangster deluxe for years. His brother was Speaker of the Mass. Senate or House at the same time. They and the FBI guy had grown up together in the same neighborhood,South Boston. So... Some good location stuff here and acting. Funy dialogue. Kind of a lot of subplots that go here and there. It's a decent series. Damon and Affleck love their Boston stuff. Of course they came from Brookline,not exactly the city.",8 This movie will waste your time. where are those 10* coming from?,1 "Really didn't enjoy that much, but I think if you love the fast and furious type movies you will like this",3 "Those aren't my words, they are those of another reviewer who also couldn't understand the high ratings for this tedious film, and also took time to read other reviews. I've given a rating of 2 because I was impressed by the efforts to recreate the period. I didn't see any acting in this film, just actors being themselves in period clothes. Another wasted opportunity.",2 "WHY YOU ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE BOOOKS ? KILLING ESKEL ? YEN TRYING TO BETRAY GERALT ??? WHAAAAT ?

The problem is that they cannot remain there for very long as eventually their identities will be revealed and they will be captured and possibly killed. So a plan is devised to send in a C.I.A. operative named ""Tony Mendez"" (Ben Affleck) under the guise of a movie producer to attempt to take them out as part of the film crew. But before that can happen he has to get cooperation from some people in Hollywood to lay the groundwork for an actual movie in order to fool Iranian intelligence. At any rate, what I liked about this film is that it captures the intense anger the Iranian people had during this time without involving Islam as the main culprit. No doubt some used it as a conduit to gain political leverage and they are still doing it now. But it was the Shah--and our support for him--that was the catalyst. Even so, because of its strict religious leadership and the hatred they have for the West, I doubt that the current regime in Iran will allow its people to watch it. But that's another story entirely. Be that as it may, I enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to those who also like political dramas of this type.",6 There is such a horrible scene to watch in Season 2 Ep 13 that it made me feel physically sick. One of the characters is beaten up and then sodomised with a broomstick. It felt gratuitous and was horrible to watch. I don't think this was essential to the plot and was something I wish I could unsee. DO NOT WATCH.,1 I can't believe how bad it actually is. It's just wrong. It portraits mental illnesses so wrong. If you wanna watch a good show about mental health problems then go see Bojack Horseman.,1 "As a Tarantino fan I feel cheated and disappointed. Apart from the climate of the 1960s and 1970s, the film brings nothing at all. It's fatal and boring. Watching it you only lose time and money.",3 "I had high hopes for this film. I enjoy watching historic movies based on actual events (Saving Private Ryan, From Here To Eternity, A bridge Too Far, etc). I was really enthusiastic when it was announced that Christopher Nolan would be the director as I am a fan of his movies too. Then I watched Dunkirk. This movie seems like a 2 hour documentary on the evacuation than anything else. There is barely a shred of any story. We have 3 different scenarios going on that have little to do with each other, besides the fact that they are going on during the evacuation. The dialogue seems to be written half the time by a 10 year old and the rest of the time by an expert in military communications. And it seems like the actors were told to just stand around and do nothing for most of the film. I really can't be live this was made by the same man who directed the Dark Knight trilogy.",2 "This was really one of the most boring movies I've seen in a long while. There really isn't a real story and a lot of scenes are just dragging.. It's not a real coherend story, with only a few separate scenes spliced together. Friends of Tarantino show up on cue.. No real spicy dialogs as we're used to.. Sorry but people putting a 10 on this have been smoking what Pitt smoked near the end of the movie... The acting itself is good, but sadly the story goes nowhere.. I had more fun watching an Uwe Boll movie than watching this Tarantino movie...",4 "I am very surprised at the positive reviews and can only think they are fake or misguided. Not a single part of this programme is enjoyable not he actors ( some of whom are fantastic in other stuff) the writing, the action or the sets. Nothing is right, it should be a good enough show but ir doesn't excel anywhere. Being a latecomer to the original series and having the luxury of binge watching episode after episode due to the amazing story and quality was brilliant. But this slow pile of boring pointlessness that's slowly filling up my tv box and forcing me to watch it out of nothing but memories of the original series is painful.",1 "Having been written by Charlie Kaufman, ""Eternal Sunshine"" has a fascinating premise and unravels in a way that plays with the flow of time. Jim Carey shows that his excellent work in ""The Truman Show"" was no fluke; he is completely believable as a shy introvert (!). Kate Winslet, as usual, is also very good. As the first part of the movie unfolded, I was completely drawn in and fascinated with the story and characters. However, the middle just seemed to go on and on, adding little to the plot nor my understanding of the characters' relationship. Thankfully, the last 15 minutes moved the plot in new and interesting ways. Compared with Kaufman's ""Being John Malkovich"" and ""Adaptation"" (both of which I'd rate with 10s), ""Eternal Sunshine"" lacked the skillful story-telling to keep me involved throughout. However, its inventive plot and skillful performances saves it from being a disappointment. 6/10",6 One of the three best movie ever made along with Godfather 1 and apocalypse now.

SHE HAS CARRIED THE MOVIE WELL! her speech, dialogue delivery , make-up etc is so well designed. 2) A very simple & new but a strong and well directed script!!

Exhilarating action scenes and some very effective moments are undermined constantly by grade-school dramatics, repetition, and annoying characters (save the ass-kicking female, Mikasa). The English adaptation is okay, but at times over-the-top. Another anime that could have been so much more had it not focused entirely on a weak cast of prepubescent teens.

And I love Bill Murray too - a breakout role (that's what all the critics are saying) - He had the same blank stare through the whole movie - he did a better job on Osmosis Jones (which was kind of a cute film, but that's about it). I think it's the whole woman director thing and Sofia being a Coppola which is why it's getting all the attention. I don't know, I just don't get it.",1 "I give 3 stars because of the sex, which was the most interesting thing to watch in the episodes.",3 "So, I've must've missed the ""brutal, gory, shocking, scary"" parts. Really, where are those parts? Take away a little blood here and there and this could've been a Disney Halloween movie, at least back in the 90s. What am I missing? This flick I rated 16 over here. Seriously. There's only one scene which is nice and it's with the little boy.. after that everything is boring, not scary at all. It's a good concept but the movie is just boring. Random words, because there's nothing more to say. Random words, because there's nothing more to say. Random words, because there's nothing more to say.",4 "The sound effects were so loud, I had to cover my ears, something I've never had to do before in a movie theater. Combined with the horrible ""soundtrack"", consisting of constant loud sirens and highly annoying ticking noises, the result was almost two hours of pure torture. I couldn't wait for the movie to finally end, and when it did, I had acquired tinnitus and a bad headache. If you want entertainment, look elsewhere.",4 "Very childish humor, boring fighting scenes and an uninteresting plot. Another very unmemorable superhero movie for me. There's absolutely nothing different about this than the other ones. Thor is trying to save his planet Asgard while trying really hard to be funny.",4 "Stranger Things, American science fiction horror drama television series created by the Duffer Brothers. Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, Finn Wolfhard, David Harbour, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Joe Keery, Cara Buono, Matthew Modine, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, and Charlie Heaton starred in the film. With the exceptional acting talent of the actors and actresses, this sci-fi horror fiction thriller has lived upto the expectations again. The series consists of 34 episodes with action packed scenes which will keep you on the edge of your seat. To begin with the latest season 4, show's creator The Duffer Brothers has gone to another level in portraying the special talents and discovering the different abilities in every episode. The character Eleven portrayed by Millie Bobby Brown again proved that a human's abilities are defined by using intellect, spontaneity and common sense. Now speaking about the plot of the The season 4 it will provide you a valid reason to switch on your Netflix in the middle of your hectic schedule. Plot of the season 4: The Mind Flayer was made by a homicidal psychic creature from the Upside Down, it was discovered. He was born Henry Creel, a psychic human with special talents. He was given Dr. Brenner's care after killing his family and going into a coma. He was thrown to the Upside Down by Eleven when she was nine years old, where he was disfigured by lightning, giving him the look of Vecna, according to flashbacks in season 4. He invented the Mind Flayer and took over the dimension after investigating the Upside Down. Matt and Ross Duffer are the head writers who have left no option to complain about the script. You will not get bored with every interesting and gripping plot of every episode. You will feel scared, excited but you will not be disappointed. After this, I would like to say that the season 4 which is made on the whopping budget of $270 million, is an unmissable series which will leave you curious and excited. Do watch it for yet another gripping plot.",9 I fell asleep. I understand what they tried to do but it failed. Will see how the series develops.,1 Just saw this one and I must say this is how thriller works Director has made very scary atmosphere for the film which was needed.,9 It was horribly depicted. I only felt distanced from Hannah through each episode. The writing is really bad. Don't expect too much from this.,2 "After finally watching this over hyped film, I don't get why people think it is really good. I thought it was barely watchable because it was so boring. I don't get all the award nomination nor how Jennifer Lawerence could win an Oscar for this role. There was nothing outstanding about her character, Tiffany, to warrant a stand out role. And the worst part was the lack of chemistry between Bradly Cooper and Jennifer Lawerence. First he looks 20 years older than her, and why would a depressed widow want to hook up with a bipolar manic who has melt downs. Simple, it wouldn't happen. The movie is about released mental patient, Pat, goes home and is obsessed with his estranged wife. He has mental break downs and meats Tiffany whom knows his wife. He agrees to be in a dance contest with her if she will give the wife a letter. And that's the story. Nothing much happens. FINAL VERDICT: A big waste of time and it certainly wasn't one of the best films of the year. Skip it.",5 "The cast is great, Henry Cavill's acting is top notch, all other actors are really good too, Anya ""yennifer"" puts on a great performance as well, top notch. Plot is Geralt a monster hunter is collecting coin by slaying monsters, a girl with white hair Cirilla is about to have her life change, another girl yennifer is also struggling to stay alive. A war has begun and these 3 paths will eventually collide... The story has my attention, it is a bit convoluted, and hard to remember where everyone is at and how they got there, this is my biggest negative which could be solved with more attention to detail, more unique flags, architecture etc. The CGI is good, the effects are good, fight scenes are good, dialogue is good, it is worth a watch if you like fantasy shows with deep lore and story, but be warned you must pay attention to the story so your not lost towards the end. Great first season, keep them coming.",9 "A shockfully boring and dissapointing movie. Only things that stand out are the acting of Di Caprio, the touch of the 60s era and the last 10 minutes of the movie. Other than that, if this movie did not have Tarantino label, would be vut before reaching production. Wait for it... It will never come! Only for 60s, cowboys, Brad Pitt and DiCaprio lovers...",4 "We all know what happens when a studio gives an action sequel a huge budget and lots of opportunities. It either turn out pretty great or... like this. As following, you shouldn't expect anything great from this. However it's not unwatchable, even if the action might not sit with some.",3 "Forget about holes in the plot, there is no plot at all. If the Mafia guy really didn't have any money, how the heck was he running his gang? The bad guy portrayal Is the worst I have ever seen. An army at the command of a Mafia guy and him being able to lockdown the city is not plausible in that part of the world. The director should have made the movie in South America like in the Graphic novel on which the movie is based. I haven't liked many Netflix movies until now but only started this because it was credited to Joe Russo. 10 minutes into the movie, I knew it was a terrible idea but finished the movie so that I could review the movie.",3 What kind of movie is this like harry potter ? Running time is more then 2 hours is totaly wastage of time.,3 Binge watched Panchayat Season 2. The show remains as endearing and heartwarming as the first season. Infact loved this one more as it has a tinge of romance and emotions as well. All actors shine in their respective roles. The Viral Fever continues to bring lovely family dramas.,8 "If you came looking for spoilers, this is the wrong review. Breakthrough, is an exceptionally well produced movie for this genre of Faith and Inspirational type of movie. Though at times it felt like many family oriented faith based movies, without out the energy and guns, lots of guns, you might find in a John Wick movie, it ultimately delivers by the end. Perhaps the greatest challenge of a film like this, is how do you tell this kind of story, without it feeling preachy or coming off like an evangelistic outreach film, when it actually is about a real life story that involves a Christian families tragic experience. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it can feel a bit uncomfortable at moments, especially if it's not an environment that is your normal. This movie presents some thought provoking questions, like ""why did this series of bad events happen in my life"", ""why did that good thing happen to one person but not for me or someone I care about"", and even asks the question about, ""does God really care, does God really hear our prayers, and does God use people who do not believe in him"". You'll ultimately have to come to your own conclusions, but this true store can be a good starting place. Recommended for those wanting to be inspired, those wanting a movie the family can watch together, and for those who enjoy stories based on real life events.",7 Much better than anticipated. Starts off with a solid car chase and continues to be a well enjoyable action movie. Perfect for Saturday morning afternoon.,7 "This is a solid action flick. It seems like the more visibility a movie has the worse it is not picked. This movie is easily above other movies rated at 6/10. Ryan Reynolds is his usual funny self. The action scenes are cool but there is a surprising amount of gore. The plot is pretty simple. There are a few cringy jokes and cliches but otherwise this is a very entertaining action movie",7 This is the best show ever. Fantastic cast and acting. A masterpiece. Period.,10 "I really looked forward to this show despite not liking the choice of cast. However, I did have my fears...and it turned out these fears were true. As a huge Witcher fan this show greatly disappointed me at how it failed to show us and immerse us with this universe and characters. On top of that, there are many things that just made me cringe and wince in annoyance. First of all, it's based in fantasy medieval Poland. Why on Earth did they mix different colors of people here? It's like mixing Black people and White people into Asian-only story. Triss was a MAJOR disappointment in every way and I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her. What happened? Why wasn't Triss the red-haired girl we all knew? Yennefer as well. I expected a far, far more dignified and powerful lady to act her and give that dignified and convincing feel, like Yen had...the deeper voice and her dark charms. Instead it feels like watching a skinny gypsie girl try to act like Hermione. No offense to the actors themselves, but it's out of place...it's really out of place. What were they thinking? What was the director thinking? Henry Cavill also doesn't fit the role of Geralt. I understand his love for video games and Witcher itself, but he just doesn't give Geralt justice. Sure he gave his all so...congrats to him but...just no. You can see Henry over-buffed himself and he's way too stiff during the whole show. On top of that, the entire costume is so off putting. You can see that his hair is wig, it's beyond poorly done. The eye-lenses are cheap and horrible to look at as well. CGI was bad, monsters are poorly done. Story is ALL OVER THE PLACE, it's hard to get a grip of it and even immerse yourself with the characters. Some pointless moments are dragged, while important character building is just not there. On top of that, I've had enough of seeing nakedness and inappropriate scenes on big screen. Can this just stop? Can we stop using the disgusting, disturbing and tasteless scenes and putting them on screen? If I wanted to watch this I'd pay for those 'special ' TV programs. Some scenes in this show are beyond tasteless and have no meaning or story-building value at all. Just like with GoT, these scenes are just there to give you the 'shock' factor and to make you feel uneasy. Why? Women complain how they don't want to be represented as 'objects' and yet 21st century has depicted women in worst possible light thanks to these disgusting scenes. Oh and not to mention Jaskier/Dandelion Bard, who sings like a modern singer...and his annoying rambling made me want to turn the show off. Humor is out of place too...very very bad writing, I just lack words to express my disappointment and I could just go on and on and on... Overall, this show has no character depth, character building or actual love and emotions. Everything is like they're reading a plain script and 'trying to look smart'. Poor choice of casting, poor script, inappropriate, lacks depth.",4 "I felt compelled to write another review after watching episode 3 since it essentially becomes a different show with the addition of the wholly unlikeable Holly Gibney. Not only does the director feel the need to hit you over the head with her idiot savantness; he does it in such a way to make her seem pretentious, patronizing and exceedingly conceited. She ventures into this trope with a reckless abandon that loses any of the eccentric charm they might have been aiming for. What remains is a neurosis that doesn't play out well under the guise of private investigations.",3 "lets face it true believers, as far as super-hero movies go, this is top notch, and as far as summer movie blockbusters are concerned, this is a prime example of what TO DO. oh yeah, it is also one of the best reviewed films of the year. i truly enjoyed the movie from beginning to end. i could not ask for a better super-hero flick. and most of the haters of the film are just action junkies obsessed with bruckheimer flicks (non Pirates) that blow crap up constantly. i'll take a webslinger with heart any day over nic cage in another no plot flashy action pic. overall i give this film four stars. best big budget film of the year thus far. cant wait for spidey3",10 Karthi and Lokesh Kanagaraj manage to create magic with this intriguing action-drama. A must watch!,10 "I've seen more Adult comedies than most people. There are certain things people like me expect from such movies. 1) gratuitous female nudity/ non nude titillation. 2) A reasonable script which can even be based on regular events like parties, vacations, college life. 3)Hot chicks. 4) At least one thing about the movie being big, be it a premise or a scene or even a dialogue. Luckily there are many of us out there who share similar tastes and there is a steady state movies that fit the above which get released year after year. Every once in a while there comes a movie that most of the above but tries to something more.....and sometimes it doesn't really do much for the film. This film is all about Jason, to the point that you just don't want to see him anymore. Lets face it he just doesn't have it yet for us to see so much of him....literally. Which bring us to the other talking point of this film, male nudity, it probably served it purpose to create the stir that it was supposed to create , but when you see it in the context of the film, it really seems totally unnecessary, especially towards the end when it actually turns redundant to the point of annoying. When you couple that with the lack of titillating scenes involving females the disappointment starts knocking of stars. The other thing about this movie is the lack of the BIG, even the most regular adult comedies will have a premise or a dialogue or a scene which will remain in your memory for years to come and this movie just doesn't have them. But this movie does have what you will expect from its Apatowish cast. Well written characters and script (loved Russell brand). Witty if not hilarious dialogue. Elements of the hopeless romantic (its more rom com than adult comedy). Decent Acting all around. It just doesn't have what it takes to be above good despite what the ratings suggest.",6 "Popular Bollywood love comedy ""Jab We Met"" was released in 2007. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the movie features Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan in the lead roles. Here's a review of the film: ""Jab We Met"" is a delightful and heartwarming romantic comedy that captivates viewers with its engaging storyline, vibrant characters, and memorable performances.

Kareena Kapoor Khan shines as Geet, bringing energy, charisma, and an infectious charm to the screen. Her portrayal of Geet's innocence and liveliness is one of the highlights of the film. The chemistry between Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan is palpable and adds an extra layer of magic to the film. Their on-screen interactions are filled with spontaneity and warmth, making their journey together thoroughly enjoyable to watch. The music of ""Jab We Met"" is another aspect that deserves special mention. The film boasts a stellar soundtrack composed by Pritam, with songs like ""Tum Se Hi,"" ""Yeh Ishq Hai,"" and ""Mauja Hi Mauja"" becoming instant hits. The music not only enhances the storytelling but also serves as a reflection of the characters' emotions. In terms of visuals, the film captures the scenic beauty of various locations, from the bustling streets of Mumbai to the picturesque landscapes of Punjab. The cinematography captures the essence of the story, adding visual flair and vibrancy to the overall experience. Overall, ""Jab We Met"" is an endearing and feel-good film that leaves a lasting impression. With its engaging storyline, brilliant performances, memorable music, and strong chemistry between the lead pair, it has rightly earned its place as a beloved romantic comedy in Indian cinema. Whether you're a fan of Bollywood films or not, this movie is worth watching for its heartfelt moments, entertaining dialogues, and a dose of pure cinematic joy.",10 "I am a teenager, but I am obsessed with everything relating to the 80's. The music is amazing and I love the movie mentions throughout the show. The acting is amazing and the tension they are able to evoke is amazing. The actors do an amazing job of being funny while scared, similar to movies like the Goonies. I do not have a lot to say about the tv show, but it is definitely worth your while. I highly recommend this show! The show is clever with writing and balancing humor with horror. The last thing I will say is that there are character duos that are very well done and very smart. I am very excited for Season 3!",9 "This show can't seem to stop surprising me with its greatness. Every episode is better than the previous this season is the best season in all anime universe. 10/10 episode so much feeling and facts long awaited episode.",10 "Very entertaining movie if you can play dumb with it, and act like it doesn't hold your hands throughout. The smartest part about the movie is the donut monologue, which says a lot, you'll know what I mean when you see it...",4 "This series would have potential if had some changes and 2-3 more drafts. Right now it's pretty shallow, with problematic structure, characters with no depth, amateur dialogues and predictable story. All these make the series boring and ""fake"" in times. Also the viewer does not feel the pain of the protagonist, it looks fake and doesn't follow any journey with her. I don't know how this series take the green light in this level. Definitely has space to grow and be better. I believe a 2 hour movie would fit better to this story. 8 episodes were to much and so predictable for the viewer. Too bad!",4 "I loved how they translated the Barbieland from our imaginations tp screen. The clothes, colours and stages are beautifully done. The way they show stiff unbendable limbs are just such a simple detail, comical in a way but also sad and stiff. How can girls compare themselves to a unbendy, out of proportion, busty blonde. And in this case a Barbie without a true purpose. No one wants to be known as stereotypical... Thats just average... The story is fun. Barbie is having an existential crisis while Ken just needs a bit of love. I kept wondering what the *deep dive story* is all about. Is this a person playing with Barbies and Kens and just thinking ""what if""? The story may be about nothing important. Or it might showcase the strugles of the real world. Do girls still play with Barbie and does Ken even feature?? The soundtrack is good. And i LOVE Weird Barbie but i dont think my Barbie would have made it in the movie, she was attacked by hooligans with toothpick spikes and she lost her head when the tried fitting her into King Solomons Mines (do you remember the) stewpot. .... And John Cena - damn he is looking good here...",6 "So, WandaVision is as funny as it could be and that's completely different from what we've seen in Marvel till date. Except for this shocking element there's nothing to hype it and no matter how much fanboys exaggerate it, the neutral audience gonna show them the real world. Well, i belong to the neutral club so here i am telling the truth, no hatred, no fanship, no soft corner or anything like that. To be frank and i am not being too harsh but we gotto wait for the upcoming episodes to see where it's heading to? Useless speculations and verdicts are pointsless at the moment. For now enjoy the comedic homage to past sitcoms and wait for the next episodes. The first episode of WandaVision is more humanly funny than the second one whereas the second one has got better humour than the first one. I was bit disappointed with the conclusive parts not being strongly held but thanks to the typical romedy that makes it enjoyable.",3 "I love a good film based on historical events. I knew I had to see this in IMAX format as soon as I heard about it. I'm not the biggest gear head but I do know the talent of the cast involved and the director involved so I knew we would be getting something worth watching. Having seen this in IMAX now, I will say that this film needs to be seen in that type of high quality to feel the rush, intensity, and thrill of the races. This film is a bit long in the tooth but a great watch. The film is about the real life events of Caroll Shelby working with Henry Ford the Second to build a fast race car that would beat the best Ferrari has to offer. Shelby has a limited time frame to work with and enlists the help of hot headed Ken Miles, an exceptional race car driver who is initially at odds with the Ford company. The film follows their bond and their progress as they not only build the car but go head to head with Ferrari during the 1966 Le Mans race. The film's racing sequences are some of the best in a car themed movie I have ever seen. Heightened by the theater experience everything was eye catching and intense. On top of that you have two extremely charismatic leads who do very well in their roles. The film also has humor here and there. Its a very interesting and inspiring story and you don't have to be a car fanatic tot enjoy the film. James Mangold's quality behind the camera shows with every detail captured. My main complaint for the film comes from its running length. its a long 2 and a half hours and at times feels its length. I couldn't help but think a good half an hour could have been left on the cutting room floor. Its a one time watch through and through but a great effort. I think the film will be up for some of the more technical aspect Academy Award nominations. If you are a film lover, you need to see what is arguably the best racing movie ever. 8/10",7 Cliché woke nonsense 'dark' comedy. Direction falls flat with a bland screenplay.,1 I would rather go the dentist and have a tooth extracted with no pain relief than watch this again. What is the hype with this hemsworth fella .He should stick to super heroes.Please god i hope hes not the next 007.,5 "Once again, Rian Johnson proves himself to be a great director (particularly with visuals) but an absolutely awful writer who's obsession with exploring social/political themes always comes at the cost of turning almost every plot point and character ark into MacGuffins. For the record, I actually agree with his politics so please don't @ me. But good stories make for intelligent social commentary, not the other way around. The cast are brilliant though so that's something!",3 If you enjoy Watchman you'll definitely enjoy this. It's a 9/10 in my mind.,9 "I am not gonna rate this yet because 2 episodes is way to little to judge a (mini) series (look at WandaVision). What I do like about this one and WV compared to FatWS is that after 2 episodes I am very intrigued to see more. I like the chemistry between Mobius and Loki and Mobius and the judge. (also off topic but I dont get why they didnt usr Owen Wilson don as young Howard Stark in Capt. America because that would match up with the older actor really well). I love Loki but I dont trust him (at all, definitely not this version). And I am sceptical about shows with time travel as they usually cause me to end up more confused than I started. However I am excited to see where this goes next. Currently the show sits firmly between FatWS(6,5/10) and WV(8/10) with the chance to become nr 1.",7 "Yes, this movie is well-filmed and well-acted. yes, if you have the time and interest, you can speculate about what the movie might mean as an allegory. i'm sure the theory and politics of the movie are admirable. BUT... 90% of the film is simply unpleasant to watch. none of the major characters is likable - much less heroic; no one succeeds or even grows. every character is amoral. one small example out of dozens: a young man going overseas to college gifts our penniless protagonist a job tutoring a wealthy 15-year-old girl in return for the promise to keep her away from dating til the student returns from overseas and the girl turns 18. our hero without a moment of hesitation betrays his friend and starts a romance with his student. i read that ""get out"" originally ended with the hero dying, that jordan peele added the rescue after preliminary focus groups said they hated the movie. parasite feels to me a horror movie like ""get out"" without the redemptive ending. or think ""inglorious basterds"" without the redemptive ending.",3 "Bom, o filme é 100% retcon colocando ed e lorraine no filme, para fazer mais grana, mas puta que pariu, que Roteiro de merda! Não tem um momento bom nesse filme! Tudo é ruim, atores ruins, Roteiro ruim, toda a execução do filme é horrorosa, uma das piores experiências que tive com um filme.",3 Honestly DC Movies are more interesting this is a hot piece of garbage yes there are some good scenes but like bro why are people crying lol it's so obvious there alive lol and the deaths are so badly dramatic the ending is pretty trash if you see people on this review list saying DC Fanboys are making bad reviews actually were not because were just stating facts Marvel doesn't suck but it's not better than DC.,4 "I LOVE Quentin Tarantino movies! I couldn't wait until this movie came out. Unfortunately, this movie turned out to be a disappointment. The cast did well but the plot was muddled and the movie felt, and fell, flat.",3 "I did have a very high expectation for this movie but.. Sorry it was the worst movie I've ever watched. I tried to find the message from this movie but I couldn't. It seems like it tried to send a message move our hearts but it wasn't delivered to audiences. Because I have no idea what exactly they wanted to make. So what did they really want to make? Musical film? Comedy? Touching stories? Girls can do anything? Or just colorful cute movies? They mixed it all and added it all so the movie became just lame and cloudy.. I hoped the movie just could be more kitschy, tacky, easy, unrealistically happy and funny like 90s, 2000s movies. I just felt sorry for Ryan Gosling and other actors and actresses.",1 This Was A Bad Movie I Didn't Like It All Very Boring The Acting Was Awful,1 Just not a good feeling Not the usual clever action story yes we had action lots of it just the story line had no sauce of adventure Yes I fell asleep Yes I got bored after the thing kept on repeating itself Yes I was expecting something better.,2 "I just finished watching 2nd season and I cannot take this crap anymore. I am not a 'Review Person' but this thing was so mind F**K that I had to write. What the hell is wrong with people, how is this 9/10 It was a kid's series all along, I literally felt like we are going back in evolution if we like this. Why would someone make this! and not only that how can this get 9/10, did the owner do some sorta black magic, god I still cant believe!!!",1 "I enjoy the premise, but Selena Gomez doesn't quiet fit the bill for me. She seems bothered and compared to her co workers, drab. I'm excited to see it progress!",8 "This has grown on me and I will say the action scenes are good for a tv series. The plot has its darkness to it and so does the killings. Avengers movies had killings but you didn't see much, this, for being a Disney film, has more than normal. Almost James Bond style. Impressed so far and hope it gets better. I still have to say I am mad at Disney for firing of Cara, and it's a shame that politics has to play in everything these days. Hire her back Disney! Door swings both ways.",8 "Simply as a big big HP fan, i couldn't find any magic or relation between this movie and HP world, really disappointed",3 "The best anime with history, galaxies, seven heavens and the moving planetsAnime is perfect and beautiful, it is beautiful and enthusiastic, but there is no blemish",9 "OK we have seen devdas, we know the story why watch this ??? Important Question!! I went with the expectation of seeing a stylish obnoxious devdas and glad to tell u i got it :)). People with a good humor sense will love it. The movie is on similar lines to Sharath chandra's novel where the protagonist has broken relations with his father and is sent to London for higher studies. He is in constant touch with his childhood love paro, with whom he keeps contact through modern communication mechanisms Phone and internet! Trust is very important in any relation, which eventually is breached when dev hears some stories. From now he becomes the real devdas, Smoking coke, drinking Vodka and then Chandramukhi ! Overall a great performance by dev ( Abhay Deol ) and Paro. I would say chanda was not bad too. The dark humor in the movie is brilliant. There are a lot of humorous moments including a scene where dad tells devdas that paro was yours @ paro's wedding ! How chanda becomes a so called "" commercial sex worker"" and also the BMW Incident. Wonderfully blended into the movie. Well done anurag 9/10 for the script and 8/10 for the direction !! I travelled 30 kms to watch this movie because didn't' get tickets at multiplex near my house. Anywayz no regrets",8 Phase 4 So far has been pretty average. This possibly makes the greatest noise for now.,8 "It's such a shame to see superhero films being turned into comedies which is what Marvel have done. Yes, I admit I'm a DC fan, I prefer a serious tone with a little light humour every now and then but this third Thor instalment is just the worst, I loved the first movie and The Winter Soldier. But for the first 20 minutes every scene is just a comedy sketch. Unfortunately even Star Wars Episode 8 has started to take this tone too. The problem with too much humour is that it diminishes the threat of the enemy/darkness, and basically turns it into a joke.",3 "I forced myself to watch FREE GUY to the end, but found it boring to say the least. Perhaps this film is intended only for the gamers generation.",2 Action films must contain an element simple logical . This film make the viewer Stupid very much the hero attackers waiting impatiently strikes and full stupidity! shots scattered more than the rain avoids the hero in Smoothly! The movie doesn't have a story! more Patience you need to finishing watch this movie! how it rated 7.7,2 One season enough. Stop beating a dead horse for the sake of it,1 "All actors have absolutely no interest or emotion in doing the basic acting. Cliché story with bad writing and buzz words thrown into a matrix style story. There is no science backing this up and anyone who thinks there is need to take some courses. The story has all the characteristics of a religious cult, several of the smart diverse cast have religious moments with random explanations to sound smart. NO idea why they even have the main character Lily, if she is taken out the story wont change much. None of these people resemble a real world software engineers or scientists just people acting cool. No idea why this is rated as high as it is. Reminded me of that other show Mr. Robot which is an equal snooze fest over-glorifying the computer industry, hackers, tech nerds etc and selling it to a main stream audience.",1 "City on a Hill is a gritty cop show that takes place in Boston in the early 90's. I love the way the storyline unfolds throughout each season. It has a feel of The Wire only that it takes place in Boston. The writing, directing, acting, cast, cinematography, etc are all top notch in this show. The real stand out here is Kevin Bacon, he's been a wonderful actor most of his career but this is easily one of his best performances. Aldis Hodge also breaks out to show himself as a fine actor who holds his own here. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are executive producers and they grew up in Boston so they add so much authenticity to the city of Boston. If your looking for a good gritty cop show then give this a try. You won't be disappointed. I wish they would have continued with extra series. I hope someone picks it up and continues with 4 + series.",8 "If you like post-apocalyptic films, then this is the right one for you! I've read the book about a year ago, and although the story is better in written form, this film does not disappoint. I remembered a lot from the book and although some stuff is missing, I thought the story was complete enough. The acting is pretty good and the film has a good pace to it. It's maybe not your typical fairytale story, but that's what makes the film less predictable. Certainly worth a watch!",7 "I really like this show and I understand they have to keep it realistic, but when the movie is dark and you can't see anything, it doesn't matter how realistic it is. I would have like more candles or touches, so I could see what's going on rather than a black or a very dark background.screen. I hope it future episodes you will condider more lighting. The other episodes were great. However I miss seeing sone of the characters when you guys jumped ahead ten years. That was a long time to jump ahead, but I understand this is a long story and you had no choice. Keep up the good work, but please a bit brighter backgrounds.",5 A human and comedic look at a dysfunctional family of 'heroes' who all have reasons to hate each other. Very engaging and well directed.,7 "I wasn't expecting much watching this show, but I was extremely surprised by how compelling the first episode was. If you're a big fan of The movie ""Knifes Out"", or show ""You"". I have a feeling you may find a attraction to this series.",10 Good graphics/cgi but very bad storytelling. The only character that seems similar to the books is Geralt. Evrything does not make sense and removed a lot of chatater development for key characters. Similar to GOT season 8. You're better of reading the books or playing the games.,3 This movie is really bad not because it's the worst movie ever no not even close it's just people say it's the best movie ever and it's not at all it's not even the best movie with black panther in it. Stop the overhyping.,2 "Runs completely in a home, actually in a small room with no major twists & turns and only with female roles seems like to have made to cover more feministics, nothing else to say.",3 This movie was just a very violent mess. Full of dull angry characters. Not worth a watch.,2 "The first season was fairly good. The actors were still getting to know their character, but slowly getting comfy with them. Here in season two they are comfortable with the character and the part they play. But there are just to many story lines, and they deviate too much from the comics. Frank Castle AKA the Punisher is portrayed pretty poorly and instead of the pro elite soldier and vigilante he is in the comics . They show him more as a psychotic ex marine with possible PTSD and a sadistic streak. I like that, he most of the time come of as a equal to Dare devil though, that's a big + in my book But all in all I feel they should've gone with Ray Stevenson as the punisher. He looked more the part, than any other have come, so far. An stuck to the original way Punisher is. They can't seem to make up their mind ,if you should hate him or root for him But the saddest part is they have taken a bunch of punisher stories and a bunch of daredevil stories, altered them here and there. Than thrown them in the script blender and F *ed it up. They've came up with this whole government conspiracy cover up, of the murder of Frank Castles family. Stick was really cool in the first season. He was sarcastic and funny, and very much straight to the point. And had little sympathy for Daredevils Squeamishness. While here, he is mostly reduced to a backseat driving old man with a stick and a few tricks up his sleeve. While Electra take the front seat, and not really in a good way. They've focused to much on her and Matt Murdock's romance ,which get boring really fast. She is also very poorly played, her Sai swords,(which she doesn't use until the two last eps.) you can clearly see is not sharpened/pointy The ninjas was more comical than I had expected, and sadly poorly portrayed. They had better movie-ninjas in the 80s But it isn't all bad, even though it might seem like it. They manage to make it entertaining by all means. They just could've made it so much better, instead of going 180 degrees from season one. They have gone in too many directions, and made to may side stories, that you really don't need nor care about. But Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson really look good in their part. No question about it. I just feel their should be more for them to work with",5 "Baring some flaws, it is overall an amazing show which gives you everything you want in a fantasy show. The direction, the performances, action, dialogues, this show gets everything right. There's some part when the series looses a little interest to jump to another story. This show is a little confusing but the impact of its timelines emerging is it's X factor and the intro throughout the show was very clever of the creators. Henry Cavill will keep you engaged in every frame. Brilliant acting 👍",7 Loved the movie. All the characters were played so well!,10 "I love Taika Watiti and the main characters were cute, but this movie was trying too hard to be bold.",6 "This show is amazing and captivates audiences long after they outgrow other children's programming. Avatar: The Last Airbender is not afraid to tackle mature themes and impactful storylines. War, genocide, indoctrination and propaganda, brainwashing, parental abuse, female empowerment, oppression, forgiveness, gender discrimination, and loss are just some of the major themes covered throughout the series. So many episodes are heavy hitters that create an emotional impact that is lasting and powerful. Unlike many other series that are made to be binge-watched, Avatar: The Last Airbender is unique in creating stand-alone episodes that leave you satisfied when they're over - all while still building on an overall plot that continues throughout the entire series. It is a masterpiece that far exceeds what is typically expected of a series made for children's television.",10 "I tried to like it. I really did but it was toooo much like Casino and Goodfellas and The Godfather and Once Upon A Time In America and, and, and ....... you get the idea. It was soooo slow too. I kept waiting for the hook but it never came. Aside from the above what was really distracting was the casting. Great actors. A veritable smorgasbord of the best but c'mon, there comes a point where the best make-up artist reaches their limits with their subjects. The actors were too old for their younger parts. It just came across as kind of comical. Not only that but you can't make people have younger voices. The elderly develop distinctive speech characteristics and it was very apparent especially when the actors were their younger characters. Sorry, didn't work for me.",5 "The show could have got a 10 but since there are too many erotic scenes I had to deduct 1 point. Otherwise it is an extremely good show. The theme of this movie has me feeling that it is going to happen in about a minute, yet it's still sci-fi. Strongly recommend",9 "This was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time! I always check IMDb to see how a movie is rated and when I seen this movie rated at only 6.4 I was shocked! There are a lot of bad ratings out there that make no sense! They either don't have a sense of humor or are too old to enjoy it. When I saw this movie was so under-rated, I had to had to sign up so I could set the story straight! I'm a big fan of comedies and this is probably my favorite one. It's kind of like the hangover. Every time you watch it, it gets even more funny!! Love the movie, if u haven't seen it, ignore the bad ratings and be prepared to laugh your a** off:)",10 This movie is truely unique giving you feeling of living the moments in WW1 times. It's brilliantly shot and the continuity in movie is amazing. Really impressive and a must watch if you want to experience Cinema.,8 "If you are a fan of the cast, you will love this film. Everybody gets lots of ""face"" time and plenty of dialog, so you can really enjoy their performances.... Lots of beautiful women in this film,Wow! Never heard of General Smedly Butler before, but after wiki searching I find his writings are spot on. Western militaries are more often than not just enforcers for Big Business....which is what this film was all about; The sacrifices and scars that the people who fight have to deal with for the rest of their lives, and the people and institutions that seek to control governments in the never ending quest for more and more..",10 "I started attempting to watch this for a second time since I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness, which this series is based on. I think the casting is what makes it very bland for me. Harkness's words just leapt off the page & you could imagine each scene as if it was really happening. Unfortunately, the series just doesn't have the same imagination.",6 "Good movie. First, you have to get past all the Gilmore Girls dialogue and let the movie get up to speed. Then there's plenty of action. For a bit. But then the movie loses steam and starts to feel drawn out. Still a technically well-made movie with good acting, but it quickly feels like a Twilight Zone episode padded into a movie. The ending doesn't offer a big pay-off, but still feels right. I'm glad I watched it. But, unlike MANY other movies, I wouldn't watch it again. And there it fails to earn more than a 6/10.",6 "A little heroism some self adulation average aestethics and plot all in all a blunt taste of mediocrity",3 "Had me for 75% of the first episode. Truly scared and feeling the mood. Then hello, here we are at the same base premise of zombie and base humans .... it's all been done before, before and before that. Yah it's a game and will get votes from its aficionados but for an HBO production, which I am usually a big fan, vastly surprised by the lack of originality. By EP3 I feel cutting my toenails is a much more satisfying experience and have given up. For those diehards, buy a used PS 3 if you must, just play the game, it deserved its rating but not this show... Sorry my brains have been eaten to many times by such........",3 "An epic tale about loyalty, crime, lust, treachery and vendetta. A cinematic magnum opus. Set in Dhanbaad's(Jharkhand)Village, called Wasseypur, ""Gangs of Wasseypur"" starts with our very own ""Kyunki Saas bhi bahu thi"" and goes beyond the cinematic ethics. A saga which has all the ingredients of a cult cinema like black humor, full mouthed characters, adultery, bullets,vengeance and everything you expect in a film by Anurag Kashyap. En route to end of British Raj in India, Shahid Khan, a dacoit, loots the British trains, masquerading as Sultana Daku, is shot dead by Ramadhir Singh's goon. Shahid's son, Sardar Khan, pledges to avenge his father's death and shaves his head. He becomes one of the most notorious gangsters of Wasseypur. The film reconnoiters his connections with power, politics and fraternity of crime. There is a clash between two Muslim groups Pathans and Qureshis, about their covetousness for glory and money. Manoj Bajpai gives an impeccable performance as a violent and lecherous man. It is one of the powerhouse acts, we will ever encounter. The real find of the decade is Tigmanshu Dhuila a well-known cult director (Hassil, Paan Singh Tomar, Saheb Biwi aur Gangster etc), who embodied the character as if he himself is Ramdhir Singh. Richa Chadda is believable as Sardar Khan's anxious and bold wife. Reema Sen is good as a silent and steamy concubine of Sardar Khan. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is a born thespian; he is believable as weed smoking, Amitabh's die-hard fan and black sheep of the family. We have already witnessed him in ""Kahaani"" and ""Peepli live"". I think he is one of the most underrated actors, has now got an opportunity to flaunt himself in GOW II(I saw the trailer of Part II after the credit rolled). Rest of the cast Piyush Mishra, Pankaj Tripathi, Huma Quershi(debut-She looks ravishing while persuading the theater's security guard for the second show of the movie ""Trishul"") and others are so authentic that you will easily relate the characters with North India (Bihar), the dialects, the dialogue delivery, the expressions are genuine. The music by Sneha Khanwalkar is down to earth, a triumph, it has the rustic soul and is very unique. One can understand the geniuses by listening the beats and lyrics. Some of them are folks sung by the locals. And after all it's Anurag Kashyap ,who can go to any length to enhance the quality of Indian Cinema. Undoubtedly it has been screened in Cannes,and people watched the entire saga (a delirious 5 Hours 20 Minutes run time) and lauded with the accolades. However, it should have been edited 20 minutes. Impatiently waiting for Part II. 8.2/10",8 "4 stories of various 'friend/love/marriage' zoned men interlink and culminate to produce a gripping entertainer. Anurag Basu's take on relationship and life deserves an applause that keeps you guessing till the end. Though there are numerous movies on the theme of money and relationships, the final touch of relating it to a game of ludo - sins and virtue are amazing. Definitely worth watching!!",9 "It's the adventures of an extended family. Jay Pritchett (Ed O'Neill) is the patriarch with younger new wife Gloria Delgado (Sofía Vergara) and stepson Manny (Rico Rodriguez). His gay son Mitchell Pritchett (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Mitchell's partner Cameron Tucker (Eric Stonestreet) are adopting a baby girl. Jay's daughter Claire (Julie Bowen) is married to Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell) with three children; Haley (Sarah Hyland), Alex (Ariel Winter), and Luke (Nolan Gould). Ed O'Neill is TV royalty. Having Sofia Vergara as his wife is simple comedic genius. She is a Latina more cartoonish Peggy. Bowen and Burrell are the perfect comedic married couple. The kids are great. At the beginning, Ferguson and Stonestreet brings the show to a next level of relevance. The genius there is that the guys are lovable and regular folk. They normalize a gay married couple and them adopting a baby. These are likeable people in a likeable family. Their simple loveliness is their best aspect. It lasted eleven seasons with a diminishing return over the years. It's good.",8 "I don't need a happy ending. I love moody films. I did not love Lost in Translation. A feature-length, rambling series of scenes does not make a story. What was the point? Okay, both main characters are lost internally and externally as they come together in an unfamiliar culture. One young with potential, one older on the downswing. I get all that. But again, where is the story? That they form an unlikely friendship? Well, that's mildly nice but not compelling enough to make a great, or even good film. The main characters did not undergo any mild or major transformational experience; they did not learn anything of consequence; they did not contribute positively or negatively to their own or others' lives. Nothing happened. There was no there there. Some of the scenes were humorous, but they were not connected to each other. Was watching Bob on the treadmill funny? Sure, but how did that relate to anything? There were just too many scenes like that. Pretty much the entire film was like that. Yes, the cinematography was fine -- but as Robert McKee would tell anyone, that is not enough ... you need a good, or if we're lucky, a great story. Go see Whale Rider for a film with much lower production value that nonetheless tells a great story -- you care about those characters. I didn't care about Bob, Charlotte, or anyone else in Lost in Translation. This is self-indulgent filmmaking -- an auteur director creating an film that if you, the audience, don't ""get"" then obviously, it's you, the audience, who isn't smart enough or hip enough or artsy enough to understand.",1 "I was seeing a lot of reviews by the paid media critic's which have been incredibly unfair to the movie... No surprise though.. Yes the movie might have only a certain portion of the facts but it certainly was edge of the seat watch and inspirational to youngsters.. I loved it..",9 Nothing to see here- terrible script. Almost 'Dark Shadows' -ish surreal. Such a waste of talent.,1 "The Dark Knight Rises actually falls precipitously after the Dark Knight, leaving behind an overly ambitious trilogy that tries to do too much and becomes a muddled mess. It is eight years after the Dark Knight has ended. Batman has disappeared, and Bruce Wayne has become a recluse. However, bringing the caped crusader out of retirement is the last remnant of the League of Shadows: Bane (Thomas Hardy). He was born in a pit-like prison and clawed his way to freedom. The price is a morphine inducing mask to keep him from feeling pain. While brilliant, he is also brawn - and a formidable opponent for the Dark Knight. Also in the mix is the mysterious Selena Kyle (Ann Hathaway), a jewel thief cat burglar. As usual, she is the amoral hero, only looking out for her self-interest, but not totally void of doing good. Bane puts Batman to the test, actually injuring him in the process. Now Bruce Wayne must heal, recuperate, and claw his way back to fight for the city he loves. Bane not only defeats Batman, but also puts Gotham in a vice-like grip, using a nuclear device to hold them hostage. He attacks the two things America loves the most: money, and sports. All this leads to an intriguing story that unfolds over two hours and 45 minutes. I did have two gripes. First, and the most problematic, was the noise and music that sometimes drowned out character dialog. In fact, Bane's mask upped that even more-rendering many of his words very dissonant. The second was that the plot got a little too labyrinth, offering too many twists and turns. Some plot devices can be seen from far away, but others seem to have Nolan trying to out-do his masterful twists in his 2006 masterpiece, the Prestige. On a lesser note, I found Joker much more interesting as a vicious, plotter bent on playing games to prove that everyone else is like him. Bane is straight forward and uses brute strength, usually drawing people into his trap. Also, the idea of Batman breaking his back and recuperating so quickly strained belief. All that aside, though, the finale brings us closure and full round back to the original Batman Begins - even bringing cameos by Rhas A Ghul (Liam Neeson), and Bruce Wayne's father. It is layered, but sometimes a film can have too many layers. Too much meaning of the story detracts from the story itself. In this case, Nolan tries to do way too much, with a long run time of 2 hours and 45 minutes. Too many storylines and messages fail to make the story cohesive. It was good to see Nolan revealing that the lie of 2008's Dark Knight came back to haunt Commissioner Gordon and Batman, and Batman does have to repair relationships with Alfred (Michael Caine) and Lucious Fox (Morgan Freeman). Still, with all the other stories, motifs, messages, the film is diluted way to much. I have seen it three or four times and while entertaining, it loses it's luster every time with me. The Dark Knight Rises disappoints.",6 "The cast and the directors have done an amazing job at this, really left me frozen for a minute after the movie ended. It's hard to believe it's Rackaracka's debut film, they have beaten years of boring, jump-scare infused horror bores and showed them how it's done. I highly recommend watching this in the theatres or on a good sound system at home because the sound effects could make or break the tension for you. The cast is mostly new too and they have done a wild job on the set, it's fun to see new faces who have done the movie justice. Not only does it win in the horror genre, the narrative and story are a good watch for anyone (as long as you are okay with minor gore and horror). Looking forward to more movies from the directors!",9 "This was one of the most disappointing shows I've ever seen. I have loved Alex Garland's previous work (writing: 28 Days Later, Sunshine, directing + writing: Ex Machina, Annihilation) , and the premise to this sounded interesting, but the acting was just so abysmal that it completely takes you out of it. The main character especially is just very flat, but in what seems like an unintentional way. The show itself also moves very slowly, and the characters' decisions are bafflingly dumb and unrealistic. I am legitimately shocked at how this is somewhat well regarded. The ending also manages to live up to how poorly done the rest of the show is.",3 "Like watching a Wes Anderson backwards. Reading William Falkner upside down. A circus performance, on roller skates, during a light show, on a tab of acid... and you have epilepsy. All the impact, none of the effect. Perhaps I am one who does not take kindly to exorbitant, grandiose displays of trigger-happy cinematography and CGI, finding beauty more in subtlety and nuance - but I'd imagine the Daniels, in crafting their art, make no attempt at such frivolity. (I would, however, find great entertainment in how Mr. Kwan, and Mr. Scheinert explained the conception of such a film to investors, without the presence of psychedelics.) 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' - a mouthful true to the visual storm, explosion of colour, and stark novelty that it captured. The frantic attempts to squeeze as many effects possible into the given time frame, rendered it - less a movie with a coherent storyline; and more a 2hr compilation of chaotic energy drink ads. The question is: would it have received such acclaim, if without such an exorbitant visual effects budget? Visual effects that left my head sore like it had just been punched square between my eyebrows. However, Mr. Kwan, and Mr. Scheinert painted in a new colour (supposedly a shade of green that washed the audience's faces at the Oscars) and I will award praise to anything that stretches the lines of convention.",4 "Like so many others I had high hopes for this show. Coulson was such a fun ironic character, it was great to find a way to resurrect him. There have been times in this series that that character has shone through. But it seems they are either cutting his best scenes most of the time, or giving him pretty stale dialogue and directing. There isn't enough Coulson and way too much Skye. Most of the first season was just ""The Skye Show"" and it looks like it's devolving into that again. Coulson should be the main character and Skye a minor character, not the other way around. Also, the story line isn't very satisfying, it keeps jumping around and is pretty grim. I miss Coulson's idealism and humor. Often he's just hesitant and confused. I know the character's been through a lot of trauma but I don't watch the series for that. I want to see him coping and succeeding with style and flair. I want this show to be a good experience like the Marvel movies have been. I hope someone gets this message and makes the show different.",8 I enjoyed series 1 but they have dragged 10 episodes out of series 2 when half that would have made it reasonably enjoyable. I can only hope that series 3 moves at a quicker pace otherwise it'll lose its interest for me. 5 stars as the first series was a solid 7 but the second a poor 3.,5 "Disney takes its live action remakes, or CGI enhanced (whichever you prefer), to a whole other level of lazy with a film that lacks the true creative and well crafted spark of the original. Though the film lacks on any truly new material worthwhile, and is choppy and uneven with some of its delivery of new material, not everything is lost when it comes to this remake. Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen provide fairly good performances as Timon and Pumbaa, and the graphics (CGI) are needless to say breathtaking. Besides the first third or so of the film, which is mostly a formulaic and tonely unstable retelling of the original, the film does prove to be at least mildly entertaining, and there is plenty of interest to be seen by the beautiful and undeniably realistic views it provides. In the end, The Lion King (2019) was somewhat pointless, and even though there is much missed potential when it comes to this Disney retelling, all we can truly say to make things better is that it could have been worse. My Rating: 5.25/10",4 "Borning, emotionless picture. Its just like watching national geographic dubbed by Beyonce... come on... ""they tried to keep it realistic"", well animals dont have buddies, talk or have this drama.. so put some emotion into the characters face for once.... it was just sooooo bad. So bad",2 "A fun movie. I suspect writer/director Rian Johnson of attempting to sneak in a political message, but if so it is completely drowned out by the noise of merrily preposterous whodunnitry. Daniel Craig is a very good actor, so he gets away with being miscast as a Deep-South detective. Everybody else is effortlessly perfect, but it's really Ana de Armas' movie. She's excellent as the nurse to an uber-successful author (Christopher Plummer) whose family assembles for a get-together which was never going to turn out well. Ms de Armas' endearing rabbit-in-the-headlights quality belies a brilliantly controlled performance. Lots of delights elsewhere. Great to see Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette and Don Johnson enjoying themselves so much. Interesting to see Chris Evans out of his Captain America uniform. K Callan has very few lines but reliably steals every scene she's in. And there's Frank Oz, delightfully deadpan, plus a cameo from the mighty M Emmet Walsh. It's designed, filmed and edited with enthusiasm. Nothing to dislike, really. Undemanding entertainment.",7 "I did not have a good time with this one. Watched it with my family and we all thought at the middle of the movie everything had to be a joke, but sadly it wasn't. I am surprised at how great critiques this movie has had. I watched it only because I saw it in a Top.40 movie list on the internet, aside from that, I never heard about this movie in my life. Not everything was that bad, I will say, it had short good moments but in general, the movie intended to innovate a way of telling a story, but it was just an experiment, nothing more. I don't quite recommend it, only if you want to experience it by yourself.",6 "I'm not really a sci-fi fan. I've never seen the original series or any other reboots, if there has been any. I started watching because I figured it wouldn't be any trouble to turn it off mid-ep and walk away, but I found myself enjoying it. It's got a tonne of faults. Even for sci-fi, the characters make some baffling decisions and come up with some magical solutions to the problems that rush at them at a mile a minute. Alien invasion! Big crashes! Insane weather events! Hostile landscape! Dinosaurs! (Dinosaurs?) Lost! Found! Cats and dogs, living together! You get the picture. Throw into the mix a dysfunctional family, burgeoning young love, a wicked villain, and the perennial trope of a robot with the capacity to hurt and help being both loved and loathed in the role of an outsider, and for my money you've got some fine family drama. And it is intended for the family so, yes, it's down the Disney end of the scale. So if you're expecting some sort of outer-space Game of Thrones you'll be disappointed. The CGI and production are outstanding for tv and the script is a bit hokey in spots, but I've got no complaints about the performances. Parker Posey in particular is at her sneering best as the clutch-out psycho 'Dr Smith'. For sure, it reads as an unhinged ugly step-sister but I'm pretty sure that's what she was aiming for because this isn't furrowed brow tv, it's 'have an episode and enjoy yourself tv'. The gender-flip on Dr Smith seems to have irritated some people but if you stop sweating the small stuff there's literally no reason to care about the divergence from the original. And also, if you weren't paying attention you'll not have noticed when Judy clearly says that Mr Robinson isn't her natural father. So there's less reason to be confused about her heritage than some reviewers seem to think. I know a lot of genuine sci-fi fans will look down their nose at Lost in Space but if you're prepared to not take things too seriously I reckon you and your family could actually enjoy it.",8 "I watched this movie after hearing so many good things about it in the media, but man was this movie boring. Some movies get sometimes so overrated I can not understand it, the same thing happened with American Hustle a winning oscar movie and bla bla you have to watch it and so on and when I watched it I just wanted to fall asleep during the movie. And then this agenda they are pushing since decades, we americans are all good and the russians are all bad, for how long they still wanna shove this nonsense down our throat? I was glad when the movie was over, I do not recommend watching the movie.",5 "I hated almost every second of it. I am completely sensory overtouched now by all the sounds. I did like the acting afterall, but will never watch this again.",2 "It was a good TV shows. Its like a marvel movie but for the TV show and have some good episodes of very well made in term of special effects. Its clearly a classic marvel. A vilain and the heroes try to get him down and save the world. Nothing really new, have some good ideas but thats it. Nothing special. You know what you will have with Marvel.",7 "Visually the cinematography was excellent. The story was weak and I am shocked how many people are giving this 10 stars. 8 people I worked with saw this and only 1 liked it. This is two weird movies in a row made by Leonardo DiCaprio. I feel like Nolan is just revamping parts of Memento, Batman, Dark Knight etc to his movies. The ending credits are the same for every movie. He put in a fortress in the snow like the fortress in the beginning of Batman Returns. And what about that snow? It's like he just wanted to say let's film in the snow! He is actually stealing a lot of this from other movies and getting the credit for this being an original movie. This movie is Ocean's Eleven meets The Island. I was very disappointed.",6 "Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD... The over use of over fast computer generated action scenes is overbearing, I know its not supposed to be believable but this is REALLY unbelievable... Air action scenes at hundreds of MPH are kept up with by ground scenes travelling at sub100 mph... hmmmm... There is an addage that states 'Less is More' - that would have been better here. Mono-tone acting too... WandaVision this is not.",3 "Awful show, very boring, good time for nap. Wanda vision was much better and falcon atws was even better. You might need coffee or a pillow if you attempt to watch this.",5 "It is so fake, it's too stupid to finish watching it.",2 "It may have some cheesy moments, and sometimes the supernatural element seems like it could have been a little better developed but all in all it was compelling and enjoyable. The fast paced romance made me scoff slightly at times, but it did produce a narrative that hit the ground running.",7 "Go to see it just if you want to see Venom destroying things and fighting with a ""decent"" CGI, if you want to see something more, if you want to see Venom being a unstoppable villain that make you feel like he's a really bad dude, don't go to see it, you're going to finish the movie feeling sad and angry, like me in this moment. PD= Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock SUCKS. Sony, stop doing things like this, PLEASE.",3 After watching season 3 I was simply amazed by the change of genre intensity which was going on.. Many may dislike season 3 is plenty more violent and dark. But hey if Harry Potter evolves from a child teen fantasy movie to a violent and action driven adult movie no one complains. Stranger Things indeed got more this way and I love it. Really gives that Main dark shadow theme suspense ! If you wanna see happy 80s Kids dating around go watch something else!,8 "Winter: soldier is an enthralling entry to the marvel universe, alongside gotg 2014 was one of the best years for marvel. Personally I prefer this film to gotg , some of the action scenes (before the third act) are portrayed in such a realistic way, even though you know they're fake and that when you think about them that they're unrealistic they still have a huge impact and still surprise me",9 "My name is ""HUMANITY"",could have been the title of this film.Breaking down complex emotions like fundamentalism,racism and terrorism(if we can call it one)into simpler ones like caring,feeling,hating and most of them all loving.This forms the crux(backbone) of the story.This film sends one on a journey of introspection whenever we get swayed by a particular incident and it comes in the form of wrath and fanaticism against one particular community(country,state whatever).Remember the scene in which Rizwans mother explains to him the difference between good and bad with the use of a drawing showing two persons,one with a sword and the other with a lolly pop,and asking him to find a hindu and Muslim in the picture.This scene is extremely relevant in todays trouble torn world.Karan Johar has managed to make one of the most relevant film of this time.He may be criticized for being the master of unrealistic cinema,but he is pure genius when it comes to handling sensibility and emotions.Thankyou Mr.Johar for making such a helpful film,the film may have cinematic flaws,but i would leave that job to the more distinguished film critics like Khalid Mohammed etc.",8 "The book was so much better, and I don't know why the movie deviated so much. I agree with other opinions that its not worthy of the title. I started to list all the differences between the move and the book, but it deviates so much that its really a different story. Any one who is interested, should read and discover the book, its fantastic.",2 I was hype for this movie but it's not that good but clearly its better than Zack Snyder's movies,6 "Think of it as a tv episode. It has a character you love, a funny script, and a generaly pleasant tone. But in the end, it's not very clever. The mystery itself wasn't even as compelling as an average TV show script. Murder She Wrote and Monk had better reveals. At the end I was like, ""yeah, ok."" I actually found myself checking the clock several times to see how much longer I had before it was over. Daniel Craig is great. Kate Hudson is beautiful. Drax is funny. Ed Norton is Ed Norton. And the rest of the characters were also there. That said, I'm looking forward to the next one in the same way I look forward to the next episode of a show I like.",7 "Mare of Eastttown (2021) At first sight, this looked like yet another Detective story that we get every year but the fact that it was starring the magnificent Kate Winslet and was done by HBO, intrigued me enough to give it a shot. Starting in a rather weak fashion with the general tropes of the genre, the show seems average at best. Fortunately, the subsequent episodes begin to spin the mystery and before long, the narrative takes shape. The story takes place in a small town which is unfamiliar with serious crimes, but the situation takes a hard turn when young girls begin to disappear and one is found dead. This forces the town's detective Mare to fill up her vape and begin investigating. Everyone knows each other and more often that not, everyone is each other's relative and these relatives have dark pasts so investigation creates a lot of drama and conflicts. After digging through the dirt, Mare eventually discovers a most unexpected mystery. Kate Winslet showed a lot of dedication to her role in terms of appearance and immense acting skill by creating a person who is difficult to like; yet, possible to sympathize with. My favorite character though, has to be her mother who alleviates the tension and adds much needed lightness to the serious theme. What kills the consistency of show though, are a multitude of small faults that are either forced plot points or plain unrealism. These mistakes are spread all over the surface and I couldn't help but spot them. However, being only 7 episodes, the show doesn't stretch it's narrative and as a result manages to keep the plot moving so if you enjoy detective stories, you will enjoy Mare of Eastttown.

The characters were slowly getting into the mould. Seemed like a good thriller where everyone on the island had a motive to make the kill or protect the antagonist. I still can't swallow how poor the climax was. Did they change the intensity or perhaps the genre of movie. I was really waiting for this movie, it was all going good until last 20 minutes. Daniel Craig seems to have toned down a lot, can't get used to his accent in this franchise though. It's my personal choice. Although the suspense remains in current plot, development of characters to reach upto that point seems bit farce.",7 "Another entry into the canon of work from Judd Apatow, but the 40-year-old Virgin or Knocked Up this is not. The presence of Russell Brand merely on the poster would be enough to put most people off seeing this film were it not for the additional presence of the name of Apatow underneath, but it seems that even his magic has gotten waylaid here. The film's premise has mild potential as it sees Jason Segel's Peter Bretter getting dumped by his TV star girlfriend and jetting off to Hawaii to get over her, only to find she is staying at the same hotel with her new boyfriend (Brand). However, what follows is a by-the-numbers plot line that is straight out of the standard Hollywood Rom-com scriptbook. There is little of the originality that made The 40-year-old Virgin such a break-out hit. Jason Segel is barely a poor man's Steve Carrell or even Seth Rogen, with little of the hangdog likability that either of those had in abundance – to the extent where you wonder what Kristin Bell's Sarah Marshall of the title (herself little more than an identikit blonde) ever saw in him in the first place. Russell Brand is his usual obnoxious self whilst Mila Kunis plays the standard model new girl in Peter's life, but she at least manages to breathe some charm into an otherwise two-dimensional role. Apatow merely produced this film, and the lack of his name in the writing credits has clearly harmed this comedy. The humour is less painfully funny and more just painful for large parts, while any time that Brand is on the screen is outright nauseating. The story plods along going in no direction in particular, seeming content to just meander and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hawaii, which the entire film feels like an extended advert for the holiday island. There are one or two mildly amusing scenes, generally involving Kunis, but do not expect this to live up to Knocked Up or Superbad; its pales in comparison. Perhaps Apatow has become a victim of his own success, as expectations are very high now, and this certainly did not live up to them. Had expectations not been so high, then possibly the beautiful backdrop of Hawaii and Kunis's charm might have made this film somewhat watchable.",5 "I wanted to like this movie, I tried to like this movie. It had potential, but came up so short. I want to say I actually like Adam Sandler..well his early movies. They made me chuckle. This movie was frantic, disorganized, and sloppy at times. I thought Sandler's performance wasn't bad, Kevin Garnett was pretty good and Idina Manuel's performance was wasted on very limited screen time. The absolute worst part of the movie was the score. The loud weird techno trance music was distracting and took away from the whole movie , especially the critical intense scenes. The movie tries too hard to show off Sandler's acting skills. It could've toned things down a bit. I gave it a 5 because their were decent things but also some bad things. The ending was good but couldn't save the rest of the film.",5 "The beginning is interesting, with mystery wanting to be uncovered. The characters are annoying, even when faced with evidence they respond in a forced outrage which is unfitting and ruins the immersion for me. For example the investigators refuse to even listen or consider the thoughts and opinions of several others, even their own wife. It's an okay show for me, but it is ruined by the dialogue and the characters unbelieveable stubbornness. The antagonist could have been designed to be more interesting and menacing I feel like. It's just portrayed as some random hobo showing up staring at people idk man. Want to like the show but it's just not great.",6 "Doesn't go near the game, I had to force myself into episode 2 before I turned it off. Yea it is funny but Twisted Metal was never funny. Whole show is a farce. And the fact the new iron man is in it is ridiculous I really don't understand what writers were thinking when they looked at the game and said this would be a good series. It is an absolute joke to the actual game it was supposed to have a background from. Sweetooth looks on point but no fire head. No one is coming from the asylum, which is a major turn off to the who series. Holloywood in action once again it seems. Absolute crap here....",2 "A fantastically fun opening number and a pathos fueled final montage just can't save a staid script, mostly uninspired musical numbers, and good acting but thin ""performing"" from the leads. I was far more bored than charmed. All and all it's nicely photographed, but over-colored in some desperate need to be dreamy, artificial and plastic. Too many super hot reds gobble up visual information instead of actually lighting the leads and the sets. To its credit, it's ambitious as hell, well-intentioned, and a bit of a production triumph. I appreciate many of the hand-built sets. But as an experience, it mostly fell flat for me. I know I'm in the minority here, which is totally fine it's just a movie, (from the disgusting display of opinion bashing in the comments section you'd think this was politics or something) but personally, I would've rather rewatched ""Singing in the Rain"".",5 "I have reviewed this previously based on season 1 which was 'ok' except that it had some very cringe dialogue, Palmer is not the best (in this role?), and there's a lack of chemistry. Season 2 I've seen two episodes. I have little interest to see the rest. In fact I gave up the streaming service that I signed up for just to watch season 2. I don't know why people are rating excessively highly. I guess they have more imagination than me at putting dots together (Eg chemistry between the leads, that Palmer 'acts' in this role). I totally understand how many would prefer the TV show to the books - I don't - but I understand the books are wordy and to some too dense. I like that as it have more depth to the characters backgrounds, perspectives and chemistry. All of which I can't see no matter how desperately I look for them in the Tv version I no longer have a way to watch S2 and I'm not bothered. Honestly I love the books and this story so I probably WILL eventually. Some POSITIVES before I leave It's a fine romp. It's not high class television. It's not going to win Emmys etc. But you can't love this and diss Twilight.",5 "Absolute crap. Slow boring, awful script and direction. The director is and will always be a one movie wonder (Lagaan) and I am not a big fan of that movie either. Granted this is a work of fiction based on historical characters but it fails to bring to life the period during which Akbar ruled. Acting is OK, nothing impressive here. Actors don't suit the characters they play. The script is written just to drag the movie without moving the story forward. There is too much melodrama and silly sub plots. Ohh and the subtitles are no good either. The stunts and action scenes in the movie remind of the dhishum dhishum movies on the 70's and 80's. Overall a poorly made movie on a rich budget. Fails to impress.",1 I did not expect much of the movie. Almost fell asleep from boredom.,4 "Plus: 1. RDJ of course 2. Guy Pearce villain character is powerful 3. Few action scenes Minus: 1. Tony Stark's vulnerability 2. Makers ruined Mandarin character 3. No entertainment 4. No thrill 5. No fun Verdict: Many say iron man 3 is the best iron man film. But for me its the worst iron man film. Jon favreau should have been given one more chance to rectify the mistakes he made in iron man 2.",3 "Jokes are not very great, too many jokes in the middle of fight ruins the seriousness of the situation. The only things thats good in the movie is Thanos. Not heroes, death of Black Order looks so cheap. Just a another movies for target on general audience and millennials. Plus with a lot of plot holes",2 Watch it. It is entertaining. Classic stories with different groups trying to get along while their is a subplot of family drama. Loved it. Uncle Ito is my favorite!,9 "The movie is another feather in the crown by Nagraj Manjule. Brilliant movie, amazing acting by all actors, awesome music. The movie is master piece and just go, visit the movie theatre to experience the magic.",10 "Why is this show liked so much? It's so predictable! It's easy to tell how an episode is going to go: -Some tough looking guy/creature shows up and says he is going to destroy the Earth. -Goku suddenly appears and says he'll stop them -The villain says he is more powerful than Goku -Goku gets angered, begins shouting at the top of his lungs, and suddenly turns super- saiyan. -Super saiyan Goku floats over to the villain. -Goku begins to hit them and they die (over-exaggerated power isn't always cool. it's just lazy and it's basically the writers saying ""We're not bothered to think of anything else, so let's just make everything quick"") So, yeah, overrated show. It's pretty much everywhere on the internet, and it's super predictable. Also the plot is pratically non-existent in the show The show isn't horrible, but it isn't that great either.. Not really my cup of tea anime, I prefer something like Yu-Gi-Oh GX. Also, final note: The show has a very annoying fanbase. As in, very annoying.",5 "Let me just say how funny i find it that almost everyone in this show is a top-notch martial artist...it's every generic action movie spaced out into episodes and seasons...it has plenty clichés...but it also has some bit of story somewhere within it... Wilson fisk though...is a terrible terrible character...first off no one talks like that...his overall behaviour and demeanour is supposed to add to the character but it actually takes from it...scriptwriters need to stop this nonsense...mob bosses and criminals are not robots...they're people still... another impressive thing...is the pacing...it's fantastic...for a show about a vigilante and an alter-ego...it moves very fast...i thought it would take time to paint a picture and all that...but true to the action-movie status everything happens right now!! Expectations are subverted not over a period but in the moment!...things happen in the second episode you'd think are meant for the second last...and it keeps rolling forward either way...never slows down never loses lustre...very impressive... pathetic characters pathetic characterization...that's probably this show's biggest weakness...also...they don't have a compelling narrative really...the action choreography is hit and miss...the plot, which is inferior by the way, doesn't unfold...it's just fed to you... the dialogue is hit and miss...there's plenty of hits and misses in this show...the hits are really great...but the misses take sooo much away from it... also...this is not a cartoon!...a man covering the top half of his face and people don't recognize him?!... the earlier episodes were good....after about six...there's no flavour anymore...or maybe i just couldn't turn a blind eye anymore...it's just going around in circles...it hits a wall and never gets back up...",4 "Season 1 I think out of all of the MCU shows that have been released, LOKI is probably the most character driven show I've seen in a long time. Obviously I cant talk about every character, but I'll talk about the one's who stood out the most. Tom Hiddleston as LOKI is magnificent as always. While he plays a different LOKI then the one we've seen from the movies that doesn't take away from his performance at all. At the start of the show we see him finding glorious purpose in eliminating people's choice in free will. As the show progresses we see him finding a new purpose in trusting others, and finding love. He continues to impress me every time he's on screen. Owen Wilson as Mobius is also a great partner to LOKI, and a great character that brings more depth to his character than expected. Sophia Di Martino also kills it as Sylvie. Being a different variant of LOKI it's fascinating to see how her character differs from the LOKI we know, and we definitely get to see an emotional side to her story that's hard to watch, but fascinating to see. The way this show is structured is really impressive as well. There is ALOT that goes on, but everything that's being shown feels important to the story itself. The transitions are seamless, and the characters feel real. The art direction and soundtrack are also very impressive. Compared to the rest of the MCU, this show definitely has it's own unique voice and it feels different, which I enjoy. Shoutout to Natalie Holt who did the soundtrack. Very impressed by what I heard. I understand the quality of the Disney+ shows might be a hit or miss to some people, but I wholeheartedly say that LOKI is a win for Disney+ and to the MCU. (Season 2 Review coming soon)",8 "How can a series be too good and too lagging at the same time. Good Things; Twists(a lot) Story Suspence Few Characters and their bonding Strong hitting dialogues Sometimes meaningful logics Lagging; Overall this series is Worth watching...",6 "Civil War is the closing chapter to the Captain America Trilogy and it rocks. To add to that ,altough its unlucky numbering, (it is the thirteenth installment of the MCU) it managed to be what we wanted and much more. To start all the characters were awesome and the new Spiderman.. THE BEST, Tom Holland is the most comic book accurate portrait of the friendly neighborhood we ever had in the big screen. Also Black Panther was great and now guys we have a royalty in the team ( OK another loyalty because there is Thor, but is more a God than a prince). The action was mind blowing thanks to the Russo Brothers ,these two are the Coen Brother of Action Flicks. Last but not least the arguing between Captain and Ironman was amazing ,because from either way they were both right and you could get why the had this ideology. I more than like it and go see it now, if you want to see Superheroes battling out , but you wished Batman V Superman be better. Well your wishes came true!",10 Not a children's show. Couldn't even finish the first episode due to cursing.,1 "Heath Ledger gives a great performance in this film. He deserved his Oscar. It was a strong performance. He's also the worst part of the film for a very simple reason: He wasn't playing the Joker. When Batman Begins ended and Commissioner Gordon flipped over that Joker card, audiences went wild. We knew what that meant. We knew the Joker. We liked the Joker. That scene got applause because audiences wanted to see the Joker. No one was thinking, ""I hope they reinvent the Joker from the ground up!"" We already liked the Joker as-is. In the comics and cartoons and the 1966 series and Batman (1989) the Joker was always consistent. There weren't different 'versions' of the Joker. He was always the same. White skin, maniacal laugh, purple suit...the only thing that changed was how crazy or how psycho he was. Cesar Romero's Joker was less likely to kill someone than Jack Nicholson's but other than that, they were very much the same. In 2008 for the first time in the character's history, he was 're- invented'. Ledger's Joker was wildly different from any Joker we'd seen before. And (as noted above) he was brilliant in the role. But there is an old saying: ""If it's not broke, don't fix it"". Joker wasn't broken. He didn't need reinventing. It's sad what this movie did to the character. After this movie, they changed him in the comics too. Suddenly he was doing crap like cutting people's faces off. Then they felt the need to 're-invent' the character again for 2016's Suicide Squad. I just want the classic Joker back. He was great. He didn't need improving.",6 "Why would you need to make up a fiction female based on 2 men ? Also when are HBO going to do one on the 3 mile island and the cover up that went on there, maybe Russia should do one on it.",1 "This movie is like an interesting conversation you strike up with a stranger, touching on all sorts of things but never really going deep into anything. I guess you can see it a trigger to discuss gender roles and existentialism with your friends after watching it. Unlike the Barbies though, most people tend to not form a life outlook after one powertalk. The cast and the art direction are immaculate, with Ryan Gosling shining bright as a scene-stealer. The plot doesn't flow though. The main issue is that the movie lacks balance between contrived and raw storytelling, so the whole endeavour seems clanky at times.",7 "Going through the Infinity Saga for the first time, I was under the (false) impression that every movie in this 3-Phase saga is linked to that grand arc, but turns out after 9 films so far all we've got are a few short end credit scenes. Thankfully not an issue, as we do get solid character development in every film (even the terrible Hulk one) and now in Phase 2 the quality of the individual movies has taken a step up. Winter Soldier is more thriller than superhero flick, and pays fine homage to vintage conspiracy movies of 70's to 90's. The cast all work well with each other (Samuel L Jackson finally getting some quality screen time) and unusually the music-score has a few outstanding motifs which go beyond the standard orchestral fare, especially with scenes involving the Winter Soldier character. Reminded me of how Dune's dramatic blasts of musical-score elevated what was happening on-screen. Camera movement & editing is improved over previous entries, holding the image a little steadier and a little longer. The plot & pacing develop nicely. Really no significant weak spots. It misses out on a higher score as my 9's & 10's have something substantially awe-inspiring about them. In the 9 MCU films so far we've not quite got there yet, tho' I expect the really great stuff is still to come!",8 "I didn't have any interest in watching this for a while now, but now that I have, I realize that I really missed out on a great experience. Dr. Stone is an absolutely lovely anime. It's just so much fun to watch throughout its entirety. While the anime is a bit lacking in the animation and art department, what it lacks in visual style it makes up for in charm and entertainment. The characters in this anime are just so good. They all simply radiate charisma and personality and play major roles in everything that happens in the anime. The comedy and gags in this anime also hit and I laughed way more than I was ever expecting to. The scientific feats can sometimes be very over-the-top, but I think that absurdity just adds to the charm of this anime's role as a shounen. Even so, in the end, I loved how the series showed the progression of the science the characters used, so when you see the developmental process of everything, you know they work in real life. To keep it simple, this anime just maintained a dumb smile on my face. It is such a feel-good and uplifting show and I think it was something I truly needed at the time. Just something to lift my spirits up. Heavily recommend this one.",9 "Well crafted movie, with best performance through out the movie by each actor ans actress. Abhishek rocks, raj kumar always natural. Each and every character done justies. Wonderful direction.",9 I kinda fell across this one Sunday and was hooked by episode 2. A good story made with a great cast. Didn't expect the ending which was a bonus. Can't wait for the end of June for the next instalment.,9 "The new Captain America character is horrible and takes away from this potential. I hate every scene he appears in. If he is permanent I hope they do some better development.",6 Love it ! Every season has been watched within a few day. Fantastic show,9 "Admittedly, I am not a fan-boy, Marvel-geek but I have watched all the films enough times and was genuinely excited when I heard the initial concept. But how can anyone can rate this program highly is beyond me. Nothing happens! Six episodes of formulaic, boring, poor writing, lack of storyline. It goes nowhere. I am not a fan of ""time travel"" or multiverses in general as I feel it's a bit like when you were a child at school, and realised you needed to end a story, but didn't know where it was going .. so you put ""and then they all woke up and it was a dream!"". Lazy, slapdash. The scriptwriters think they are being smart but they're not. If, as previously mentioned, this is to set the base, for future movies (as Wandavision and Falcon have before) this was a far inferior way of achieving it, and leaves me less likely to bother with what comes next. Wandavision had its critics but I found the story arc far superior; effectively a love story of a woman in mourning trying desperately to save the memory of the love of her life and utilising her powers to achieve it. Falcon focused too much on trying to legitimize itself by bringing in peripheral characters from the MCU, but we end up with the new Cap'. Here, we got no pay-off. You actually feel for the actors who do nothing wrong but are given such a terrible product to work with. The CGI looks 10yrs old.",2 "A cast of great actors. Terrible wardrobe. Silly subplots. Bad, I mean 1980's bad BBC sets. Dialogue that is painful. Comedic relief is mediocre. Yet. It's worth watching for a no brain evening. I did get attached to some of the characters but really it was hard to care about the story. If you've got nothing better to do and some time to kill, watch this. It's easy TV. They really could have put some more effort into it.",1 "Everyone from the cast knows this movie is far from being a good movie, but all people know this movie is for enjoying. In my case I loved it and my advice is that you love it too.",6 "Guru is the story of a man who believed not only in personal growth and personal success, but in empowering the very people who contributed to his success. A man who understood that the growth of an enterprise, a company, a corporation must reflect not only in its owner's personal growth and success, but in the growth and success of its every shareholder. You see, the similarities to Ambani's life are far too many to be simply dismissed as coincidences. And yet Mani Ratnam insists Guru is no biopic of Dhirubhai Ambani. Then again, poor Mani Ratnam is probably just protecting himself and his film.Remember what happened years ago when word spread that a character in his film Bombay was inspired by Bal Thackeray?As is the case with most Mani Ratnam films that are centred around seemingly larger themes - Roja, Bombay, Dil Se, Kannathil Mutthamital, Alaiypayuthe - Guru too, is on one level a love story. And here, in the case of Gurubhai Desai and his unflinchingly supportive wife Sujata, played by Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai respectively, it's a beautiful, intimate, playful, passionate love story. I mean, think about it, who else but Mani Ratnam could film a bedroom scene playfully? A grown couple in bed, husband gets frisky, next thing you know they're smacking each other mischievously, and what a moment it makes for.Now I know I'm stating the obvious when I say that nobody shoots songs the way Mani Ratnam does, but really it's once again true in Guru. Whether its Mallika Sherawat's item song set in Turkey, or Aishwarya's introduction number, every song is part of the narrative and is used specifically to continue the story. But if there's one song that sticks out like a sore thumb, then it's that celebration number in the second half, right after the couple have become parents. It's a song that doesn't fit into the narrative and only slackens the film's pace because it's so purposeless.The beauty of Mani Ratnam's cinema is truly in its unpredictability. How he infuses humour or just creates wonderful moments out of the most ordinary situations. Look at that confrontation scene right before intermission. The one between Guru and his mentor, newspaper magnate Maneck Dasgupta, played by Mithun Chakraborty - it's a scene, which in a film by any other director, would have been treated as a loud, screaming match, but here Mani Ratnam treats it gently, and yet he doesn't lose the gravity of the moment. My favourite scene in this film is the one in which Guru visits the home of the journalist who's hell-bent on bringing him down. Once there, he discovers that the reporter, played by R Madhavan is married to his very dear friend, one who has a very special place in Guru's heart. It's an awkward moment between the three of them, and no doubt it's now a complex relationship he shares with this journalist. But you have to see the simplicity and the beauty with which the director treats this scene. It's moments like these that hold together the film and your interest in it, even when the screenplay begins to drag. The film's second half moves at a sluggish pace, but I'm not sure how much Mani Ratnam can be blamed for that. You have to understand two things here: One, passage of time is always difficult to show on film. And two, it is after all the story of a man's life, you can't expect high-drama at every corner.The sign of any good film - remember this always - is when all departments blend together seamlessly and no one department stands out from among the others. How many times have you felt that a film hasn't worked for you, but the camera-work really impressed you? Or the music stood out? The thing about Guru and about most films by Mani Ratnam is the consistency in its technical quality. Having said that, I'm still going to point out that Rajiv Menon's cinematography is imaginative and also remarkable in the manner in which it effortlessly alternates depending on the mood - from eye-watering splendor in Aishwarya's rain song, to dramatic swish-pans in the court scenes, to the lavish, epic-scale trolley movements each time a train pulls into a station. As for the music, what can one say about A R Rahman's score that hasn't been said before, except that he seems to reserve his most versatile best for Mani Ratnam. Of the film's cast, Mithun Chakraborty playing the Gandhian newspaper baron, deserves mention for the dignity which he brings to the part, one that's clearly inspired by Indian Express founder Ramnath Goenka. The actor in this film who truly blew my mind, is Aishwarya Rai. There is a silent grace, quiet nobility to her performance, which I have to admit I've never seen before. I think it can be safely said here that she's truly a director's actress. It's very evident that Mani Ratnam is neither overwhelmed by her beauty, not intimidated by her star power and perhaps that's why he treats her character so regularly. Of course the film belongs to Abhishek Bachchan, the protagonist, Guru himself. And in all honesty, Abhishek rises to the challenge like never before. With varied expressions, with a change of gait, with studied body language, Abhishek plays both the younger Guru and the older man so impressively that you cannot help admit this is the best he's been, in years. Now if you want me to nit-pick, then I'll admit the film as a whole, isn't free of flaws. The climax, in my opinion, is a tad weak, and there are enough indulgences that could have been avoided. But still, Guru is an experience you must enjoy. Few filmmakers can translate their personal vision onto screen the way Mani Ratnam can. So that's two thumbs up for Guru - it's a must-watch for all.",7 It is a film about family... It is a film about mans... It is a story about love... It is a true story of life...

It brought back the old Undercover agent movies, that are full of stories, and how to not trust your friends.",7 "This movie was terrible from the opening number/dance sequence, to the horribly nonsensical ending! Full disclosure, i really wanted to love this movie. As it droned on, i wanted to like it. By the end, i was hoping all involved never made a musical again. In short, the dancing was amateurish, the acting was sub-par, and it literally had no memorable songs unless you count awful singing. I wouldn't be that outraged, if this movie wasn't being hailed as the, ""musical to bring back musicals""! I was generous with the 2 rating, because i actually enjoyed the jazz instrumentals. If anyone would like a spoiler filled review, i would be glad to share and prove my findings to be true.",2 "The movie totally undid the Wanda's arc in Wanda-Vision Great visual, great fights, I noticed Sam's Raimi alot of his horror movie elements (the way he direct's horror scene's) but he did not even watch Wanda-Vision show, look at the disrespect. Just watch ScreenCrush video ""The Problem With Wanda's Story in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness"" and you will know what I mean director Sam Raimi did not even watch wanda vision.",4 "This is extremely boring and slow. Nothing happens. I thought it would be good since it was prominently featured that Stephen King was the writer. This ""effort"" is what is known as a paycheck. Some people gave this a ten star rating. Get real. If this is a ten what does a truly great classic get? A thousand stars? I kept watching episode after episode after episode waiting patiently for it to give some thing to hold my interest. Sadly, it failed miserably. Acting was okay actually but the screenplay is so weak and the story so drawn out it is irritating. I'm on episode four and this ridiculous plot still crawls along. Stephen King must be as mentally acute as biden now.",1 "This is like One Piece, but with gang delinquents in modern day Tokyo, and without the funky characters or the repetitive plot. Also, when someone cries, this time there's a real reason you can connect to. The story that unfolds will hit you like a truck. So, MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER.",9 "Most over hyped film I have seen since La La Land. 2 characters who I just couldn't care less about. Lady Gaga's ""acting"" was poor at best. Bradley Cooper gives an average performance as both Actor and director. Its not often I find myself checking my watch during a movie but after 90 minutes of this drab borefest I was constantly looking at my watch while waiting for the predictable end. Save your money.",3 "The whole movie, rather I'll say a series or accumulation of a couple of action sequences is a big failure. It does not pass as a good story teller at all. The whole movie has barely any story. The screenplay is not written properly, nor it's execution is good or well done. Direction in respect to story telling is not up to the mark as it lacks the layers of a cinema that would unfold as it progresses. Coming to the point of characters, casting is very good, Indian actors like Randeep Hooda, Manoj Bajpai are really good actors, but they are being completely wasted as there's no space of character development or character progression. The whole film surrounds around Hemsworth, and I'll not say his performance is bad, but also not great.Action films of 90s have a similar pace and style. The only thing good about this movie is its execution of action sequences and its cinematography. The scenes are shot from great angle, and it's no surprise as the Ruso brothers are very fond of them. The movie has used a rusty color grading to portray Dhaka similiar to that used in breaking bad to portray Mexico. For a industry like Hollywood it's very easy to decorate a movie with all this ornaments to make it look professional and eye catching, but at the end of the day it doesn't increases it's cinematic values. In summarisation I'll say this is not a good movie, the outcome of it is disappointing im respect for expectations. But one can watch it for entertainment or momentary thrill.",5 A very different kind of thriller with powerful message... the courage that a women took of for her children in the end of the world..till last she didnt lose hope on which she decided..a very brave attempt of giving such kind of thriller..and the child artist also nailed their act eventhogh their role was little,7 I could guess the next scene at most of the points in season 02,3 "I have to say it, i'm sorry if you think bad of me but the black Targaryns are so badly costumed and made up that it just turns any scene they are in into a complete comedic meme for me. Otherwise, this is a solid show with actors learning their lanes in early episodes much like with the original series. This era of the lore is rife with intrigue, deception and opportunities for great story telling. With some time jumps and more jumps coming sometimes a second watch can help with picking up the unsaid cues. The imagery is fantastic minus the aforementioned issue, some world building and expansion of areas of westeros that were glossed over in the original is nice. Watching houses in their infancy gives a new light to the whole world of westeros. Overall it's watchable and good escapism TV, heaps better than THE RINGS OF POWER: MARY SUE EDITION. I'll keep watching and hoping this gets to be a staple in my library to rewatch again over the years.",5 The only good thing about this movie is Jennifer Aniston's sense of humor.,5 "It's like a women's solidarity movie. It was a production in which all men were shown as 2nd class and this was done through a good cast and a well-established company. It's a totally overrated PR movie. Despite all this, the acting was successful. However, the movie did not meet my expectations. Ryan gosling and margot ronbbie are both good actors, but this scenario limited both of their abilities. In my opinion, product placement and advertisements were also over exaggerated. It was like the longest commercial I've ever seen in my life. I can say that I counted the minutes, especially for the last half hour of the movie to end, it was not a movie worth all this expectation.",3 Amazing movie. recommended series to watch from season 1 - 2,9 "My husband and I found this incredible mini-series on Netflix last night and watched 7 of the nine episodes, saving the last two for ""desert"" today. I kept wondering why we had never heard of it until I looked it up and found it had been canceled after 2 episodes. Shame on ABC!! We knew the story but the suspense is just as intense as if we had never heard of Aldritch Ames. The acting is top-notch and Paul Rhys would have received a nomination at the very least if the show had been given a chance. I intend to tell everyone I know to check it out on Netflix, etc. I assure them they will not be disappointed. It's billed as ""based on a true story"" but when I researched Ames I was impressed that the series did indeed stick to the facts and didn't try to embellish history.",10 "As often with a famous franchise, there's good films and there's bad films. This one just isnt very good. The special effects are great, the acting is mostly good and the director had some fine ideas. Cinematography is good although obviously mostly CGI. Sound design is cool so why the bad score? All these things just can't make up for this boring convoluded yet extremely clichéd plot. It lacks the fun of the previous avengers films and the pacing could be better as well. All in all, Its technically a great film, however, it's not a fun ride unless you turn your brain completely off - which should never be a demand for seeing a movie. It's a shame really; I love superhero films but some are good and some are just painfully overhyped by fanboys... and that's coming from a fanboy. An appropiate score for this would be 4.3/10.",4 Such a masterpiece anime . I really loved this series . If someone still miss this anime then you should definitely check out this anime..I can tell your time will not going to waste.,9 "After having read the book 2 times and listening to the Audio book with Wil Wheaton reading once, I can honestly say this Ernest Cline's Ready Player One is probably in my top 10 favorites. I was so excited to see this movie. I'm pretty sure that I have never been as disappointed with a movie from a book as I was with this. Other than the general game story line and the general basis for the characters, 80 percent of this movie was almost like a different story. If you are going for the wonderful 80s nostalgia of the book, skip this and reread...or listen to the audio version (Wil Wheaton does a great job). This made me really sad to see. With Steven Spielberg's clout in Hollywood, I don't know what happened to all the movie and game references. They are just gone. I gave this 2 stars, because if I hadn't been such a fan of the book, I probably would have found it entertaining.",3 "The second movie in the Knives Out series is so much better than the first one. Don't get me wrong Daniel Craig's accent is still absolutely awful, but at least this one is interesting. It starts during COVID lockdowns, with Lionel, a head scientist having to go through all of his boss's crazy ideas (close to an Elon Musk in some ways), receiving a mystery box to open, while 4 others receive the same box. Lionel, Connecticut governor Claire, fashion designer Birdie and men's rights streamer Duke open the box together, going through one puzzle after the other while ousted ex-CEO Andi goes ahead with what I would have done: smashed the box to pieces. They all fly to Greece to meet Miles Bron, the crazy eccentric boss, who decided to organise a murder party with his close friends. While the fake murder party gets resolved very fast by Benoit Blanc who showed up uninvited, a real murder then takes place that Benoit Blanc needs to resolve. Again, a cast of very famous actors (Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista) that are not always used to their full potential, but who work well together. A fun movie to unplug your brain in front of (if you can get through the accent).",8 "Arguably, one of the best suspense/thrillers in Tamil cinema of late.",10 The movie sucked. Not much else to say. Doug Jones was dressed up like a fish again like he was in hellboy 1&2 just different face make up. 🤷,3 People die as a result of this. Please don't watch. This is TV that causes harm. It should never have been made.,1 This show is average at best. Gaping holes in the plot everywhere. It IS nice to see Steve Martin again. The plot line is of made for tv quality and it pales in comparison to the best out there on Disney/Nflix/Prime. What bothers me most is the nonsensical use of F-bombs. This would normally be a PG show and would be okay for the kids if it wasn't for Selena Gomez swearing all of the time. I honestly don't get it. I guess I truly don't understand their intended audience but I guess they don't either. Tune in now to watch Selena Gomez say the f-bomb every episode for no valid reason.,5 "This can't have been a cheap film to produce but it's still an incoherent bloody mess. I guess all the blatant product placement must have covered a good chunk of the budget however just how do Netflix executives measure one of their efforts as successful? For a theatrical release this is a simple matter of revenue versus budget, if revenue is higher than budget the movie was a success and visa versa. For a straight to Netflix release the success or failure is more difficult to judge. The most obvious metric would be how many people watched the movie, but that is no reflection of quality. People will watch it because in their perception it is free, but if they had to pay to watch how many would do so? If a traditional movie studio produced expensive dros like 6Underground they would go out of business pretty quickly so they would ensure production quality to avoid bankruptcy. It's different for Netflix however. They can continue to produce garbage like this movie and people will watch it because it is free so there is no incentive to produce quality products.",3 "Slow, boring, absolutely pathetic. One of the worst movies I've forced myself to sit through. It's only saving grace was Sandra Bullock.",2 "It really does get better as it goes along. The first few episodes are the worst and border on boring and annoying. The writing all together can be annoying at times. The worst part is when one character in particular imagines scenes happening that aren't actually happening. This is just a cheap ploy to fake out the viewer. Real people don't imagine things that aren't there (except perhaps delusional paranoid schizophrenics). The humor gets better as it goes along as well, although the presence of humor in a series like this is jarring to say the least. But a few lines caused me to laugh out loud. I also found myself getting annoyed at the plot ""teasing"" us and then flashing forward in time to cover other events. And you'd have to wait a while to see what happens when they left you hanging. This is really unnecessary, especially on a series without commercial breaks. Stop teasing us writers. The series was a bit bloated and should have been around 8 or 9 episodes as well. I found myself yelling at Clay to just listen to the tapes already like Tony was doing. The last few episodes were the best from a dramatic and emotional point of view, I use the term best loosely considering the dark subject matter. *minor spoiler ahead* I would have liked to have seen a certain character get the justice he deserved at the end, it would have been one bright spot on this dreary series. I'll just have to imagine it. Overall my feeling is moderately positive on the series.",6 "To anyone currently contemplating seeing the latest and greatest of eye candy festivals, ""Spider-Man 2"", I have a few words of warning. If you're looking for a movie without any substance riddled with impossible and repetitive action sequences, or a film that presents virtually no talent in any regard, or even a short waste of time, don't see this work. The folks at Sony (it is Sony, right?) apparently have decided to wise up a bit. The first film was a nostalgic trip for those of us old enough to recall the actual pulp-and-ink Spider-Man of both comic books and strips (yes people, there used to be a strip! It's in these things called newspapers, which people really don't pay as much attention to anymore with the public saturation of this whole internet thingy bobber); however, as a piece of art, it barely avoided the Absolute Suck factor. How could it be? A cast of veritable actors and actresses, hosting several actors both nominated and elected winners of recognition in the past--you'd think this film would be a shoe-in! Unfortunately, aside from the kiss in the rain, the movie produced s***. In fact, it produced something even less than s*** that I lack the creativity to apply here. So what was the problem? The writing sucked. Solution? Hire a Pulitzer-Prize winning comic book afficionado to co-write the sequel. Entrez, Mr. Michael Chabon. ""Who?"", you say? (Or you probably did) Mr. Chabon has been wowing the literary community since his debut novel ""The Mysteries of Pittsburgh"" arrived on the scene in 1989. His lush romantic prose, his poignant moments of true awareness of the characters, the sad rueful humor of the protagonist--these things are part of the recipe that make his writing amazing. You might recall a fairly unknown Tobey Maguire actually playing a supporting role that earned him an Oscar nod for Male Supporting Actor in a little film Chabon wrote as a novel some time ago--""Wonderboys"". Is it possible that Maguire influenced this decision? Entirely. One would think he was intelligent enough to have done so. With the addition of Chabon, the writing apparently took an incredible turn for the better. What was once a two-dimensional saga starting off on the wrong foot became what it should be--the tale of a modern and modest hero. (The circumstances of his origin and the corniness surrounding it are irrelevant at this point) Instead of providing awkward moments of displaced pity, Maguire's angst injected into his character has matured in the new structure, bringing the audience closer to empathizing with our friendly neighborhood webslinger. Alfred Molina brought a sense of understanding to the position of the villain, without overemphasizing his character to melodramatic proportion as Dafoe had. Dafoe is a great actor of merit, and was arguably a great choice for the role--but done as it was, it was laughable. The problem is, regardless of the supporting cast, this fiction is about Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. Any misdirection of the audience's attentions to the secondary players causes a disruption of plot line. Ultimately, streamlining our focus on these two--even with an additional few minutes beyond the first one's runtime--brought this ""saga"" to its proper course. My congratulations to Sony, and what's more, to Michael Chabon for doing what had to be done.",10 "I'll make no bones about Sofia as a director. She sets a mood and is very skilled. My gripe with the movie lies in the story. If I were to give this movie a grade based solely on that, I would give it a 6. It's very realistic and has some parts that made me crack a smile. I even laughed a couple of times. It's pure and believable, for the most part. Some argument has been raised on here as to whether or not it isn't, and although you could argue both ways, I think it was truthful for the most part, and not too fantastical. Even if it isn't or is, however, what's the point? The storyline is a guy in a normal marriage looking for spice and a girl in a marriage that she is questioning start spending time together. There is an attraction beyond friendship, but both somewhat realize that there's point to delve into it. A bit of emotion, a bit of fun, and we have a weak story that really doesn't say much. It's just indulgent directing carried along by a bland but well-told story. I would have cast Murray too, as his quirky humor did lift this movie on occasion. As for all the people who think that the humor borders on racial stereotyping, if you were in Japan, and you finally found someone you could identify with after many days of quasi-alienation, I think you'd quickly try and find a way to identify as well as you could with the only person who is willing and able to give you attention. The barrier of language is tough, and that point is made well by the movie. However, this movie suffered from the beginning. There really is no story. It's subtle, but more because it's not really inspired; there is no contention. I got a very Salinger-esquire feel from it, in a way. It's just a story that tries to make something out of nothing. It's not particularly aware, it's not particularly funny, it's not particularly enlightening, and yet there is a tiny piece of all of that in it. 6/10",6 "Great film. Coen brothers did a fine job with this one. I really dig the fact that despite it's very serious nature the script has some very humorous moments which blend in very nicely and don't stick out at all. McDormand, Macy, and Buscemi were fantastic in their respective roles. McDormand's portrayal was very charming and I enjoyed watching her in this very much. The setting of the film really added atmosphere to the film and it wouldn't be the same without it, along with the musical score. Cinematography was top notch. I recommend this to everyone!",10 "I really didn't know what to expect from the show and gave it a go. Binged watched the whole series as it was really well made. Superb story line, funny with a soupçon of sadness and humility. Definitely recommended.",8 "Amazing show, Amazing environment, Amazing cast, soundtrack everything is amazing and entertaining",8 Wasn't bad. I was entertained... kinda lost at the end trying to figure out why she changed. Interested in the fact that it was based on a true story,7 "(No spoilers): In Disney's ""Loki,"" we are but passengers along for the ride through Tom Hiddleston's (quite personal,) psychotherapy session. The show as a whole is almost (or even deliberately) structured as such, and you see every ugly detail and how it affects Marvel's most complicated character, and that is no casual moniker as of late. It is chock full of fan service and fun, and more Easter eggs than church's back yard on Resurrection Sunday, but is still so much more than that. This show is for lone wolves and pack animals alike. Enjoy.",9 "Black Panther was the very first black superhero in any main stream comic book to date appearing in 1966, obviously it was a big deal. I used to absolutely love this character, the one from the comics I mean. I'm sad to say I don't anymore, because of how the character was treated left a lasting bad taste in my mouth, and all the changes made for this the adaptation to meet executive expectations, it just disgusts me. The 96% percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes tells me one thing, not one critics who reviewed it, had ever read a comic in his/her life's. This new MCU version started out strong with Chadwick Bozeman in Captain America: Civil War, and then quickly went down hill when this came out, I mean the sky was the limit and this was the best they could do.. come on now. It is just chock full of quiet political agendas, that are strewn through the picture, if you look hard enough it's there, all I can say is enough is enough. Black people are the best race ever we get it, everyone is entitled to there own opinions, just don't push it on the viewers. I appreciate what was trying to be done but everything else is just drowned out by all the BS. The really crappy character development, poor CGI that plagues the screen, along with all the comic book errors made throughout. You'd a company that produces and sells comics, would have said something to someone, hey this isn't right we should change this. Ryan Coogler the director who also co-wrote the movie is an untalented filmmaker, and Kevin Feige saw no issue with his script basically giving him complete control, which was the down fall of this dreadful film. I' am just so ashamed that not even Chadwick Bozeman talents as an actor could save this awful mess, he deserved so much more. Plus Andy Serkis was awesome as usual, a waste of potential, they replaced him with a black villain, that is now his long lost cousin or whatever, he didn't know existed, a plot that was made up for this movie, just magically shows up, knows where and how to find them in Wakanda. Ryan Coogler again showing his incredibly lazy skills at writing. What could have been in the hands of someone talented and competent. Not a good film period!.",2 "Stop. Remove the memories of all previous Batman movies from your mind. Movies should not be judged on their predecessors. For me, each of the following points knock one point off from the top score: All the fight scenes. Bad. Just terrible choreography and camera set-up. I cannot believe, in this post-Matrix world, we are still seeing fight scenes done as clumsily and confusing as this. Even Spielberg falls into this hole though, with his fight scenes in MINORITY REPORT. Personally, I expect better from my directors; at the very least, I expect them to have seen THE MATRIX, KILL BILL, YING XIONG and SHI MIAN MAI FU. Duh! Michael Caine as Alfred. Bad. I mean, come on! His accent changes halfway through the movie!! This one was done purely for the money, wasn't it? Katie Holmes. Bad. She's about as believable as pigs flying and, personally, I'd rather wrestle flying pigs to the ground than have to watch her ""act"" again. R'as Al Ghul. Bad. He's supposed to be an extreme eco-terrorist. He's supposed to have discovered the Lazarus Pit, which keeps him alive for centuries. He's supposed to be EVIL! Talia. Hot. Yeah, she would have been, but R'as Al Ghul's daughter who loves Batman (not to mention that love being reciprocated) is absent. Instead we're treated to some half-assed plot that no-one understands and we're all left unsatisfied with the conclusion. The final climax. Bad. There are so many plot holes and scientific implausibilities with the final threat-that-must-be-averted it's almost laughable. Altogether, that's minus six! But since it is Batman, I'll be generous and give this film a five/ten. Definitely not the best super-hero movie ever.",5 It's a good anime. I'll give it 8/10 but I think in my opinion it's too overrated.,8 "Visualy Stunning just like the first film, but cant see why it took so long to make a sequal, its the same story, with weaker characters, the new charactrers lack substance, the old characters are uninteresting. I lost count of how many ""iconic"" scenes and characters from other films were ripped off, (Mad Max, Star Wars, Jaws, Moana, Free Willy, Jurrasic Park to name a few). Maybe my expectations are too high and I have been spoilt by so many wonderfull films with thought provoking plots and subtext. I felt that this film lacked either. If you are blessed with children and have been subjected to watching the same Disney film over and over again... that feeling you get when the DVD case is pulled from the cabnet or shelf, or is being selected from whatever streaming service you have, that heavy sigh and the sinking of soulders, that feeling is how I would best describe Avatar 2.",2 "I do not understand the hype. This movie was nothing but a waste of my time. Why? First, I believe a movie should have a clearly outlined plot so that you know what's going on. This movie doesn't feature that. It starts out of nowhere with no apparent background and has a pointless ending. There are indeed a couple of scenes that might be fun to watch if you are in the ""right mind"" (however most are violent and immature) and the actors do an excellent performance but that doesn't pump this movie up to anything good. It kind of shows you the happenings of a few drugdealers and criminals within a short timeframe, that's all. To sum it up... this movie has few redeeming qualities. Do something productive and more fun instead. Such as washing the dishes. Two stars out of ten.",2 "My Review -Knives Out My Rating 7:10 I'm a little either side of appreciating this film it's very entertaining and well acted with a great cast including Daniel Craig who is very good as the Colonel Sanders Hercule Poirot also Jamie Lee Curtis as Linda Drysdale the matriarch of a dysfunctional family of self centred opportunistic characters .They are joined by Toni Collette, Christopher Plummer,Chris Evans and Anna De Armas as the Carer to the elderly rich author Harlem Thromby. No spoilers here I'm still thinking about the outcome and a little confused but my fellow movie viewing partner says it's more a retro crime comedy so perhaps I'm looking for logic where I shouldn't be. The Director also wrote the screenplay Rian Johnson who also wrote and directed the 3 episodes of the Breaking Bad series and Star Wars V111 The Last Jedi . So tons of talented people involved in this entertaining film but to me it was a little like watching a film of a good stage play at times and I thought trying to be a little too clever for its own good",7 "It was ok. Kinda dragged, felt a little hamfisted at times, was extremely deliberate, and the ""solution"" felt contrived and far too easily stumbled upon. I know people are going to give this movie great reviews because they're huge marvel fans or whatever, but looked at objectively, it's just kinda ok.",4 Everything was great but like always American director made always same mistake...is it posible that every single person speak english...Russian president speak english with employers...nurse...firemans...every Russian person speeak english beetween them self...nonsence,9 "Now here's the problem for me. I'd looked forward to this film after some very good reviews and a terrific score at IMDb, but after a while I seriously began to wonder where the emotional heart of the movie was. To be frank, I don't like this man batman one little tiny bit. Of course, we can see how his world was turned upside down as a boy, and the murder of his parents haunts him. But what a cold fish he is. Without a sense of where his emotions are concealed I simply couldn't empathise with him as a passionate advocate of the poor people against the corrupt and the cruel. Indeed, when he is knocking the baddies around I couldn't find much difference between him and them. I'd also heard there was a sense of fun in this film alongside the dark, Gothic sets. So where was it? Humour, passion, dramatic development. All missing. A big disappointment.",6 "First, Bacon is awesome ! Not just him, very good acting. First couple of episodes were very good but later is just bad. Not logical at all. Its like they rush to finish as soon as possible.",5 "Name should have been ""Ford vs Shelby,"" or ""Ford Likes Money."" Movie had nothing to do with racing or Ferrari. Name Ferrari was just stuck in the title to dupe suckers to come to the theaters. If you like a movie like""Wall Street"" about corporate greed, larceny, and ego, this is your movie. If you like racing, go find copy of ""Grand Prix"" (James Garner) or ""Le Mans"" (Steve McQueen) and have an exciting enjoyable evening. Skip the Fast/Furious series. That's not racing. That's CGI. Saturday Morning Cartoons.",1 "The film starts with a nice picturesque settings, very soothing cinematography but then suddenly it turns into a mindless car chase, of course with lots of bloody carnage n mayhem. The parkour scenes looked too far fetched n done in a very badly shaky cam stuff. It has some bloody shootouts n awesome scenes of car getting sliced but the film got tedious after some time. I had always liked Mélanie Laurent ( her topless scene in Enemy n her distinctive nose). Had expectations with the film but Michael Bay has lost it. It has some good locations, hottie Laurent, bloody shootouts n a very gory flashbang head exploding scene. Crowd chasing a running Murat (the dictator) n then suddenly Murat getting hit on his bald head n the sound of tock is hilarious.",6 """Stranger Things"" is a good show-it's very well directed and acted, it has a really fascinating mystery, and a portion of the first episodes are beautiful. The acting in this is brilliant, particularly from the more youthful members of the cast. It's exceptionally intriguing, sometimes scary and sometimes funny. Overall I prescribe it to everybody, exceptionally entertaining and you will feel a sense of connections with the characters. Congratulations to the Duffer Brothers!",9 "Rian Johnson films have a slight tendency to insist on their own cleverness at times. That's not to detract from the cleverness of the film, instead it is to say that they do like to show you just how clever they really are. Glass Onion is undoubtedly a smart and slick film, with almost every plot point hinted to or referenced during the film. What a lot of reviewers are missing, I feel, is that the fun of the film lies within the confusion. Its a film that benefits from re-watches and it has a stellar cast who all seem to really enjoy their roles. Where it falls down somewhat is the fear factor as the villain, unlike the original, isn't drawn up to be a menace and so there isn't really a lot of worry that they will come unstuck once they are exposed. That being said, it doesn't make the reveal any less exciting. Pay attention, carefully watch each and every interaction and then watch it again. You'll find enticing characters, a fun premise and a satisfying ending.",8 "Although 1917 delivers a very beautiful scenery, followed by some of the best cinematography that film has ever seen, story-wise it doesn't captivated the audience as well as it should. I am not saying that I wasn't entertained throughout this film, but I wasn't as invested in the characters as I should have been, and 2 hours felt like a drag. This movie does have outstanding performances by Dean-Charles Chapman and George MacKay. I think the main problem with this film is the emotional connection that movies such as Platoon (1986), Hacksaw Ridge (2016), and Full Metal Jacket (1987) deliver.",5 "The ignore the critics ppl, must be paid for reviewers... this movie was horrible on every level. From the CGI, to the over the top acting, to the horrible script. Worst movie, I've seen in a while.",2 "People who rate this series with less than 8 stars have a huge problem using their imagination. And besides, they don't know how to enjoy a good sitcom when they see one.",8 "I'll start this review off my saying this movie is an instant classic that everyone should see as it's the best movie of the year so far, As an Australian who has watched the RackaRacka boys since I was in middle school and lived in the same place in Aus as them I, Gotta say I'm so proud of them this movie is absolutely Phenomenal and seeing Australian culture captured perfectly in this movie made me so happy, Every thing in this movie to me was perfect the cinematography, the score, the acting was all so good, And Sophie Wilde is going to be a Star her performance was phenomenal, And I don't want to spoil the movie so I'll end this review by just saying you have got to see this movie it's amazing and deserves a Academy Award.",10 "The movie is a bout of mania from writers who seem so out of touch with human interactions that I think they would end up on reddit's ThatHappened. I tried so hard to find things to appreciate about the movie. I wasn't sure if my wife was enjoying it, and didn't want to ruin it for her if she was, so I didn't leave the theater. I figured there was a chance that she saw something in it that I didn't since the rating at the time of seeing it was 8.1. We both like a wide range of movies, and both like Adam Sandler. The writing is awful, no conversations are realistic. The celebrity appearances seem to be vain attempts at working with those people.",2 "I am a big fan of Benedict Cumberbatch, but he didn't even seem like he was the main character and having Sam Raimi direct this Marvel film was a HUGE mistake, regardless of how talented he may be. His vision and execution of this film made the movie dark like DC's Batman, the storyline was hard to follow, and crammed with wokeness. I didn't care for Elizabeth Olsen's character or acting. Disney better wake up and take a few cues from Top Gun: Maverick - entertain, but leave the politics at home. I saw this movie on Disney+ and would not recommend paying to see this movie in the theater.",4 "As someone who never played the game but remotely familiar with game characters I was surprised how bad the casting is for this show is. Idk how someone thought that casting a 19 yo actress who is most famous for the role (and she did great job playing it) of noble girl with rude, unforgiving attitude to playe a character of a 14 yo girl with sad eyes and a personality that makes you feel sad for her is beyond me. Finished 1st episode with confusion and without desire to continue it. The fact that Ellie in this series looks more masculine, brutal and less child-like than a teenage verison of cowboy Rip from Yellowstone TV series doesn't help either. (Both look quite similar in appearance)",5 What went wrong with this show? Everything. Season 2 and season 3 were garbage.,1 "Honestly. people how can everyone love this film so much? do you not find it overrated, i do and although many can argue with me, i do have valid points. I don't want to ramble so here is what i think: Story is directly derived form Pocahontas and Dances with the Wolves but with for lack of better word ""Blue Monkey's"" it's so freaking' unoriginal, I knew exactly what was gonna happen from the first half hour",3 "Barbie Dazzling, heartfelt and brilliantly funny. Comedy of the year, movie of the summer! Barbie is a beautiful blend of comedy and heart. Aided deftly by colourful visuals, Greta Gerwig tells the story of a doll coming to life, with as much intellect and emotion that's needed. Barbie is unabashedly feminist, will ruffle some feathers (as it should), and will delight even more people. Themes of existentialism, individualism and masculinity are also dealt with. Despite being a product of Mattel, Greta found a way to critique the parent company (although it's funny that the product that mocks the maker ends up raking in more money for the maker). Margot Robbie is Barbie! She was an agreeable canvas, and she allowed Greta Gerwig to paint a very nuanced portrayal of Barbie. Ryan Gosling turns out a career-best performance in Barbie, stealing and shining in all of his scenes. The supporting cast also gives great performances. The soundtrack was fitting, guiding the movie down to the finish line with Billie Eilish's 'What was I made for' delivering a wonderful culmination. The set design and costumes were brilliant too. The lore of Barbie spans over six decades, so compressing it all into one movie was a definite challenge, but Greta was able to bring the most important things (including Easter eggs and fan service) to the movie. Barbie does have its failings, and the most noticeable is the plot. The first half is very intriguing, quirky and pays homage to other movies, but the second half isn't as tight. Barbie isn't perfect but it's a beautiful dose of everything good. 8/10.",8 "This was a really good first series from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Asking lots of questions and loving how weird it is, Elizabeth olsen and paul bettany were great as Wanda and Vision. And awesome fanfare stuff from the comics",7 "This movie really seemed like a cool concept with some interesting characters and dynamics, but I literally got a headache trying to follow the events as it starts with a 20 minute car chase with poor continuity (see the driver's hat) and then jumps around from flashback to present to flashback to flashback in the flashback to present to WTF is going on when?!?!? Ryan Reynolds typically saves a crappy movie and makes it enjoyable, but the non-linear storytelling and quick editing was way too erratic for my brain and I had to give up before they got the big mission started.",4 "Debutante director Aditya Dhar has nailed it ! Right from ace action scenes, gripping screenplay, punchy background score backed by some finest performances by the lead actors makes this movie a complete package ! Special mention for Vicky Kaushal 👍👌! This one is sure to raise some patriotic fever among the movie goers.",10 "This was recommended to me by IMDb and i feel insulted how bad this movie actually ends. So the thriller begins very simple and the excitement gets bigger and bigger about the plot twist. You may think ''I'm excited how this will end'' since the chef has some very strange obsession and attitude towards the customers. In the end, the answer is almost blank. It ends very anticlimactic and it feels like as if the potential was wasted. I saw many good reviews but my friends and i didnt like it. I'd say watch it if you have free time to kill but otherwise there are ton of better movies to watch on a Sunday afternoon ;)",3 "Great series, great story. It teaches the true lies of corrupt governments.",9 "Worth watching, an entertaining blockbuster. No need the promotion. Fans will be there.",10 A very blan story wrapped around awkward camera work.,4 "A true story I believe…that still continues to this very day, all over the world! The movie itself was very well done but the content and the story was really bad and disappointing. Only drugs and obscenity during the entire film based on lies and deception to rob innocent people of their money to gain their own wealth... The movie is worth seeing…to take learning of the moral of the movie! The society cannot function in a good manner if this kind of behavior is accepted and would inspire others to do the same if successful…worldwide moral is declining and people are more than never behaving disgracefully and bad. Money is for many the true goal in life and the more you have the better life and power over others you gain! Unfortunately yes…its true, but to what cost?! To make others suffer and get hurt?! No thank you! I rather stay poor and happy than rich and miserable! I will not see the movie again, but its not a ""bad"" movie in that way, its very well directed and well made but its moral and content is depressing and sad",5 "Okay, I was expecting much more from this, especially because I'm a comic book enthusiastic and love movie adaptation. But the plot quality of There Will Be Carnage is way too low in comparison to the first movie. Does it worth to watch? Yes! While the story is not that great, is pretty fun and I laughed the whole time. The special effects and characterization were very great, and honestly, I'd pay to watch the credits scene again.",7 Episode 1 was pretty good. Episode 2 and 3 were dog dirt.,5 "Karthik calling Karthik seems to be a low budget movie with a fewer star cast, unlike his previous movies. This one does not have a ensemble star cast as ' Luck By Chance ' or trendy touch like ' Rock On ', instead the movie is bit darker and seems to loose it touch in the second half, At some points you feel that the movie is dragged little too much, this could have been made as a 30 minutes episode on some thriller TV series. Any way this is not an entertainer you get bored after watching 1 hr of it. The movie was all about Farhan and he has done a good job being Karthik ""He will definitely make it to the best actor category in all the major Indian Awards"" he has a completely different look and manages to surprise audience with his performance, deepika looks glamorous but does not have much role to play compared to the male lead. Acting was good enough and they manage to make you laugh, over all movie is a one time watch for the suspense it has which later disappoints at the end. I would add its music to my music collection but i don't think this movie will make it to my Movie collection, i rather watch this movie on T.V on a Boring Sunday Evening instead of watching it again and again in a theater.",6 "PLEASE DON'T MAKE ANOTHER SEASON!!!!! Season 3 made the worst tv in history, the message was awful everything about it was awful. If you didn't watch it yet, don't do it, it doesn't worth anyone's time.",1 "First of all, Selena Gomez looks so amazing in the show. It was like watching Alex Russo's updated version with the same humour and sarcasm! The first episode makes you think if it's worth your time or not but then you kind of get addicted with the unfolding murder mystery and comic timing of Martin Short and Steve Martin!. Giving one more star for the background music making it a great show! Waiting for the next season!",9 "This is an absolutely meaningless movie. Zero character development, zero plot, zero anything. What a waste of time that was.",2 Unnecessarily disgusting in the most Zak Snyder way.,6 "So the Oscar winner for best picture is a mildly entertaining and mildly funny comedy with a story that is, well, how to describe it, nonsense trying to look smart. I for sure can enjoy nonsense but it must be entertaining and here Everything Everywhere All at Once fails - I wasn't engaged, entertained nor was my neural network on fire but, well, most of the time watching I was half asleep or my mind wandered off (maybe in some alternative reality or dimension). Like Babylon, Everything Everywhere All at Once got a few good fun moments, but that this one got the Oscar award of best movie - like Coda last year (also a rather mediocre and overpraised movie) - leaves me rather perplexed. The production is okay but nothing remarkable, the acting mostly solid. I'm pretty sure a decade earlier, neither Everything Everywhere All at Once nor Coda would have been nominated, and winning? I don't believe so.",4 "Season 1 of Community is unfortunately the peak of the show. It is a series you can put on in the background and not be annoyed about, but putting one episode on repeat is the same as playing a season straight through. The slapstick style comedy is exactly the same as Scrubs, which is a great comedic series, but the characters never grow. They speak the same lines over and over. I specify them as lines because they're not jokes. Jokes induce laughter. After hearing the same joke a few times it's not funny. It's just hearing the same words delivered with the same beat and inflection as the previous 100 times, like hearing a flatline. Chevy Chase is the best example of this. Only a few episodes in and you're reminded of why he's a legend. His timing. His expressions. The man's a master. But after the 20th time he's joked on the same topic, that has to have the word ""gay"" in it, there's no skill that can halt the thinning wear. The actors are talented all the way through. Their character's attributes and manners are far from fascinating, though. They're not detestable, but neither are they funny. There are some episodes that can be considered classics. Paintball wars. The video game episode. Foosball - anime! Claymation Christmas Special. Like I said, you won't be annoyed it's on. It's just too many jokes that don't land.",5 "I'll try to give a short overview and no spoilers here, so here we go: 1) Bunch of sublime and heroic music. Music matters, each scene in movie, even if this scene doesn't mean something important has a some special heroic and impressive music on background. 2) All actors (Nolan's duties from Inception) make very heroic faces. All with that heroic music, no less. 3) Okay, all Batmans are full of exalted speeches. This time pathetic-o-meter is in red zone. Sometimes i felt like i watching a cinematical hymn to something very epic but couldn't recognise what exactly. May be it's just because of the music. 4) Nolan is on the loose this time. His cinematic talent which i respect especially for Prestige has no borders this time. One scene shifts to another, all shifts are glued with heroic music, each of scene contains at least one meaningful phrase. Everything is epic as well. 5) I like Tom Hardy, but in this movie that could be anyone who can put his talent under that weird respirator. Epic. 6) Everything in this movie is very important. That's very important to make you pay for ticket that allow to watch another Batman franchise with all that impressive heroism. I gave 5 only for time i spent listening to that heroic music while watching that epic kaleidoscope.",2 "..... and keep walking John. The violence is excessive and truly hard to believe. Super cool gangsters in tattoo's, spouting clichéd line after line. So for the 4th installment ""wanted gang henchmen who can't shoot straight""",2 "This came as a surprise. This is not your typical superior boring story. This is not for kids. It's full of corrupted, money hungry, heroes and deep human connections. Full of gore and violent scenes. Story is interesting. Ending is strong. One of the few superhero series that is universally good.",8 "Exhilarating, intense, passionate. These are words often used to describe Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 film, ""The Godfather II"". The film certainly delivers on all of those descriptions, and then some. It maintains the same themes of family, betrayal, and revenge as its preceding film, The Godfather, while still keeping the experience fresh and invigorating to experience. The story is a continuation of The Godfather, following Michael Corleone played brilliantly by Al Pacino. After his father's death he becomes the new Don of the Corleone family. Due to the events that occurred in the previous installment, Michael has pulled out of New York to consolidate his operation in Nevada. While in his home, Michael is the victim of an assasination attempt. He suspects betrayal within his own family, and leads his own investigation into the matter. Meanwhile Michael has ambitions to expand business into Florida and Cuba with his father's old business partner Hyman Roth (played by Lee Strasberg). Throughout the movie it transitions using a flashback to Michael's father, Vito Corleone played by Robert De Nero. It takes us through his life growing up in Sicily, Italy, and eventually immigrating to New York. We see how Vito grew the Corleone name into a respected and powerful symbol, and building his business from the ground up. Coppola displays his creative skill in screenwriting by telling two compelling narratives in the same film. The way he uses lighting to change the mood and tone of the setting adds depth to each scene. It creates an eerie and intense feeling at just the right moments, striking emotion into the scenes. The only problem I found with the writing was if you don't have any historical context, you will find yourself somewhat confused about what is happening. Though the use of history in the story is done perfectly, and adds another creative layer to the Cuba arc of the story. If you aren't paying attention or miss details because of the laid back and casual way lines are delivered at some key moments, then the following scene might fly over your head. My first viewing of the film I found myself asking myself ""Why are they doing that?"", or ""Why did that happen?"". Despite this, the story is still told in a mature and creative way that held my attention throughout the entire three and a half hour run time. All major themes found in the previous film family, betrayal, and revenge are built upon in this one. Each theme plays an important role in each of the decisions that are made. Coppola mixes themes that are like oil and water to make a shocking and compelling narrative. All themes in the film are ones that the majority of people watching can relate to, which allows the viewer to connect better with the characters and what they're feeling. The acting in the film mustn't go overlooked either. Al Pacino delivers his most notable performance in this film. I was able to feel the anger and passion through the screen during a major twist while he was arguing with his wife about their unborn child. All of the context built throughout the film and knowing how important family is for Michael, tears at the viewer which wouldn't be possible without Al Pacino's incredible performance. Robert De Nero and Robert Duvall each play their roles very notably, they where each casted perfectly and couldn't imagine any other actor playing their roles. There are some moments where the acting could be improved, like how a dead body is clearly breathing if you look close enough which can break the immersion. It's a very insignificant gripe, but worth mentioning. The soundtrack in the film is beautifully produced, and at times Coppola uses music being played in the scene to make the setting feel more natural. The Godfather II is truly a timeless masterpiece of a film. It is the perfect example of a sequel done right, building on the key themes and elements that defined the previous film. The use of history and the blending of themes that on the surface wouldn't mix creates a compelling, exhilarating, and intense story that will hook you deep the entire time. Coppola is definitely a titan in the drama genre, which resulted in one of the most influential films of our time.",10 "Great care has been taken to be as truthful to the books as possible. Details are well done, ranging from having the Witcher pick up a few herbs here and there to the fact that the series ( which follows three story lines set in different times) is connected by details and characters at different times in their lives, rather than paste a pesky 20 years back or so title on the screen. This is quite masterfully done. Casting for me was amazing, until they showed Triss Merigold. Why turn one of the few redhead characters out there to someone so different? I understand the need to diversify characters and in the case of Yennefer the casting works out wonderfully, even though she is not a carbon copy of the Yennefer described in the books or played in the games. So, what happened with Triss? Her last name, comes from her red hair, how do you even fix that? Huge blunder, and truly ruins the mood for fans that have even the tiniest knowledge of the Witcher universe, be that from the books or the games. Her eyes are described a thousand times as a piercing green that reaches your soul. Contacts? Anything? Couldn't they find someone that was mixed race and a bit more striking and added contacts? Well, I couldn't be more disappointed. Another major drawback is how well maintained Geralt's armor is. Scratch it up, toss it in the mud, stain it somewhat. guy doesn't take to the cleaners after each kill! Overall costumes are amazing, specially the mages. However, even taking Triss' casting and the cleanliness of Geralt's armor into account, I'd say that this is a great series. With fantastic effects, great fight scenes, cool monsters, awesome dialogues and overall great acting. Can't wait for more from Netflix, and to keep the seasons coming!",9 "The production value is there and I like the concept and what they're trying to portray. The acting is good and the writing is adequate but the tone is all wrong. There is way too much buffoonery and not enough grit.",5 "Im not an anime lover but gave this a shot after my friend pushed me into it... And now Im glad he did. Watched entire s01 in a day and now Im onto s02. Season 1 is amazing and I hope I get the answers to my questions in season 2 and 3, watch for updates...",9 "The recommendation came from a Discord chat which was not even related to anime or manga. Needless to say, thought the affair wouldn't last long. I binged it in 2 nights. Animation is as you might expect from a budget anime produced in 2007 but it still makes it on my list as one of the best anime I have ever watched. Grippingly intense without going too much overboard. There were some weakness in parts of Clare's character development towards the last few episodes but all in all, a very good story line. It is a pity there hasn't been enough interest in making a reboot, improving upon the story line or continuing on with a season 2 finale. Highly recommended.",8 "Timepass average stuff, nothing out of the ordinary here. Slow at times. Skippable.",5 "Love the show, very Burton-esque. However, while Catherine Zeta-Jones looks fantastic, I couldn't get past how ridiculous it is given her age that she's cast as a parent of young teens. Both parents' acting was robotic and awkwardly timed. Christina Ricci's acting was also bad. That said, the rest of the cast is stellar and I love the complex storylines and character development of many of the students and townspeople. The cinematography, music, and dark humor are on point. They did a great job setting the foundation for this to be a multi-season show with plenty of mysteries and crimes to explore down the road. Definitely worth watching!",7 And there was so much standing around and talking.i watched it all the way through but the last 3 episodes whenever a group of actors were standing around and talking in a room they just kept repeating the same minutiae over and over. So much so that I would fast forward through it. There was a lot of build up to a whole lot of nothing and I regret devoting 9-10 hrs to the series.,2 "(Let me preface this by saying that I am an Indian currently living in US). I never wrote a review for any movie before, but this one is so bad that I could not stand on the sidelines. This movie is supposed to be India's big entry to the Hollywood market, but it is made in the same typical Indian melodramatic and high-pitched way. The movie is heavily inspired by other Hollywood movies like 'Forrest Gump' and 'Rain Man', but lacks *any* kind of entertainment value. The story-telling is erratic with information being thrown at you which adds no value to the plot, and is neither interesting in and of itself. (e.g. Mr Khan not liking yellow color, or being extraordinarily brilliant at solving word puzzles, what was up with all that? It just came and went). Also characters come in with some promise and then disappear for long stretches. On top of all that the movie reaches heights of preachiness by trying to teach all Americans how ignorant they are, and how the Good Indians can show them respect for their fellow citizens. I am sure there are about a billion Indians can make good use of such a lesson themselves. And I will not mention the preposterous ending lest IMDb put me in the black-list. Watch this movie to make fun of it (Mystery Science theater style) or stay away.",1 "Such a bad movie! Don't waste your time. Daniel Craig is distractingly bad and every time he delivers a line with his forced southern accent it wrenches you out of the moment. Even Ed Norton has a hard time making his character believable. The pace is excruciating, with virtually nothing essential happening in the first half of the movie. There are so many scenes and dialogue that feel completely unnecessary and like they're trying to pad the movie. The plot is really weak and predictable, and it has a just bizarre pointless ending. All round a bad movie which leaves you feeling robbed of 2 hrs of your life.",1 Although its pretty good to watch but felt like a rip off version of one punch man.,6 "Saw this movie today. Thought that it has been highly pushed and overrated. Acting is good, not excellent. Scenery not much better than most war movies. Hard to believe that any of the storyline could have happened. As a Vietnam era Veteran thought that this was very much a fantasy film.",6 "I see some of these reviewers are giving this show a one star rating because it lacks a rich and developed story. Well, that isn't what this anime is all about. I absolutely agree that a good story-line is important, and I highly appreciate the creators that take the time to make them. This show may have a semi-simple story to it (depending on your point of view), but it is soo fun to watch! That's all there is to it, and that's all it needs! It was very refreshing to see a show that counters the seriousness and ""good story"" of other combat oriented shows, where the main character becomes so stupidly strong that their ""good story"" eventually becomes pointless and ridiculous. There aren't many shows that I count as great, but this is surely one of them. Not for the depth of the story (although the story is deeper than these reviewers seem to think), but for the sheer fun and entertainment of watching. At the end of the day, that is what counts.",9 "The ancient chinese beast portrayed in the film is just ridiculous and as a chinese I felt offensive. Zouyu was described in chinese literatures as a legendary creature that is righteous and only appears in a benevolant and sincere monarch. It's fierce as a tiger but gentle and strictly vegetarian. But in the film, this animal just looks stupid( the silky incredibly long tail and huge beast teeth). Despite this, the beginning of the film started with a car chase(wizards' version) which was pretty cool, then I nearly fell asleep towards the ending part because nothing was understandable and as many other reviewers said: too many questions are left for audiences, I understand that they want to make a 3rd one, but this storyline is not so appealing.",6 "A masterpiece by Steve McQueen. It was very great movie & what play by Chiwetel Ejiofor & Brad Pitt I liked the dialogs as he said "" If this conversation concern what is factual & what is not, the n it must be said that there is no justice nor righteousness in their slavery"". I believe all the human being have equal right as everybody knows it.God damn to those who knew this yet they pretend that colored people doesn't have the same right a human being and make them their slave their property. may GOD never forgive those who done such horrible things in past, do it in present time and will do it in future.",8 Its very good movie.. Everybody should watch the film..,10 "This superhero show is ""ok"" i'd hardly say its groundbreaking and i don't believe it deserves 8.8.... more like 6.5? unlike others I did like the ending it surprised me and i wanted to know what would happen next.....but aside from that ,yea its more mature but its just another hero show, think heroes mixed with watchmen (the film not the naff tv show) , but not as good. and the whole butcher with his oz/english lame accent,i didnt know if to laugh or cry.I'm English and his accent was terrible....REALLY bad idea,i'd rather he'd been mute...",6 "I thought they at least had a descency to say goodbuy to Henry's Geralt properly or include some cool action scenes in the last episode. Nope. Instead, they included some unnecessary annoying characters, unneeded scenes, and huge plot gaps. Tissaia's character is completely wasted. She supposed to be a strong and powerful figure. Instead, she is depicted as a weak teenage girl weeping for some dude. Yennefer was built as an ever-powerful witch in the first season and her character is completely wasted as well. Suddenly the elves are so powerful, while they resembled some homeless tribe during the first two seasons. Ciri is... I don't know what she is. Overall, the only good thing about this TV show was Cavill and his representation of a witcher. Since he is no longer in it, I will not watch it. Also, Hissrich ruined all female characters in this show by horrible writing and poor casting choices.",3 "To be clear about the mini series, there is no satan, god or devil, there is only what people choose to believe and what they don't. Quantum astrophysics have demonstrated that the universe is so vaste beyond vaste, and vaste beyond exponentially vaste that believing in those things is just a deep state of ignorance, anyway, I liked the show until episode 7, it was a good mystery and a good thriller, then... anyway let's leave it to that...",4 "I watched this movie last night and I still can't believe this is Cameron's work. All that hype just translated into an extravaganza CGI. which may be the best in the industry but just that alone is not going to convince me to appreciate this movie. I was rolling back my eyes so many times right till the end of movie. The story was less than ordinary and was like a rip off mix from the last decade's blockbusters. I still can't figure out why this movie's rating is so high here. I don't know what quality movie is really these days. Whatever the message they were trying to give also fell pretty flat. I'm big on saving the earth but small on such, not so great execution. Please don't come back telling me I know nothing about movies. If that is really the case, I'm glad I don't.",2 "I have been excited to see ""The Boys"" since seeing the trailer. After seeing it, i realize, I thought it was going to be different. But I was surprised in a good way. Dark, gritty and gruesome are just a few words I would use. I think this is a modern, (if they actually existed) super hero TV show. Most shows are afraid to show things that a lot of us debate in the comic world. I won't spoil anything, but themes like power and corruption, vengeance and greed are all showcased in this brilliantly written show. Karl Urban is great, along with a great supporting cast. Action is not over the top, which I hope picks up a little more. But the story is really good. I was so bummed when it ended. I wanted more. So again, if you don't like superhero movies/shows... you may like this one, its quite different.",9 "The first one was good, the second one was amazing, there was a good plot, vilains, Loki and Thor being more serious. And hot, for that matter. Then this came out. The one I've waited for so long, for years, I seriously counted the days for it to be released. They didn't take anything serious, at all, it's for 10 year olds fr and it's insane. Thor is being a goof as well as Loki and all the other characters, yes, humor is great and I love comedy but the Thor movies ain't suppose to be based on comedy only! It is supposed to be both! I wanted more action more plot...felt like a freaking Disney movie. SMH. I hope the next one is way better...",2 "Despite the fact that Glass Onion is a perfectly fine movie that entertains and delivers (until the final act) i couldn't help but feeling a bit dissapointed because of a number of reasons. First, the writing feels a bit off, especially when comparing it to the first movie. The dialogue is less witty and smart and the jokes just don't land the same way as in ""the original"". Maybe this also has to do with my dislike of the ""flashy mediterannean private island""-setting, an environment i feel is overused in Hollywood, which makes the ""smart"" dialogue forced and less believable. Second, the setting. The movie takes place on a private island in the mediterannean. It's just too glossy, polished and tries too hard to be special. One of the many things i liked about the first movie was its atmospheric (almost cosy and grim at the same time) setting, which perfectly fitted the theme of a whodunit. The sunny billionaire island of this movie feels more suited for some blockbuster action comedy or a James Bond movie. Third, Benoit Blanc's role and the investigation of the crimes commited. Benoit and his investigation take a less central role in this second movie and clues, which would enable the attentive viewer to solve the crime himself, aren't there. As a result the viewer simply has to wait until Benoit reveals who did it. Fourth, the final act. I can't tell much about the ending of the movie without venturing in spoiler territorium but to put it simple: it felt more like a non-ending which gave no real closure to any of the characters. I couldn't help but feel that the buildup of the two previous hours led to nothing. It just wasn't a satisfying ending (quite the opposite).",6 "Had heard so much about how brilliant of a movie this is, we decided to stream it tonight. What a hot mess this movie is. Its plot tries to mimic the sweeping complexity of The Matrix, but goes way overboard with excessively ""smart"" sci-fi dialogue. The characters, despite the skill of the actors that portray them, are just not very engaging or memorable. The special effects are great, but these days it's pretty much a matter of phoning it on to get great special effects, so no points awarded for that, folks. The raves of the professional reviews is truly a mystery. We had to pull the plug halfway in. Would not recommend this movie.",4 "Take a lifetime of ideas, and a whole lot of money, then fail in so many levels to get it right. This kind of film has been done so much better elsewhere. You see the kernels of good ideas, but they fall flat way too many times. Nice try in doing something that isn't just sequels or marvel movies, but you get the impression that they are desperatley trying to make a movie that will be heralded as the new cult movie for this decade. Set pieces lack the impact you would and should expect of a film with this amount of expectation they have given themselves... a strong 12 ot of 10 for trying too hard.",3 "In a summer packed with superheroes, pirates, and aliens, I wouldn't have guessed that my favorite movie so far would involve animals doing martial arts. Kung Fu Panda 2 was extremely impressive. The Po (Jack Black) of the first Kung Fu Panda is still the same goofy panda with a strong spirit and unique karate moves, but in this movie he faces unanswered questions about his past. While the first movie was more of an origin story, the sequel shows his quest to find out where he came from, a gap that he needs to fill in order to become at peace with himself. If you wondered how a panda could be the son of a goose, your questions will be answered, and Po's backstory is much more emotionally developed than you might think. Po also has to confront the villainous Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), an albino peacock. Tai Lung (Ian McShane) in the first movie relied more on brute force, but Shen is much crazier and unpredictable. In typical supervillain fashion, he plans to take over China and destroy Kung Fu forever (yes, Kung Fu is treated pretty lightly in these movies, but there's enough philosophy involved, and it is a kid's movie). Though Tai Lung held a personal grudge against Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) in the first movie, Shen is a more fitting antagonist for Po because of a strong connection to Po's past. And of course the colorful supporting cast is back too. The Furious Five are all well-designed characters, and although they don't have much speaking time, they all have their moments to shine (especially Angelina Jolie as Tigress and Seth Rogen as Mantis). Though Jackie Chan barely had any lines. The new characters all help to expand the world of the movie. Though the first movie had a lot of juvenile humor, Kung Fu Panda 2 had a lot less fat jokes and a lot more slapstick. Despite the marketing, Po only says ""Skadoosh"" once, and it's actually pretty cool. The movie is darker overall, but that only serves to increase the epic tone. Shen is played by Gary Oldman, and though I didn't realize that until the credits, it makes a lot of sense. The villainous peacock is very similar to other self-obsessed, off-the- hinge villains Oldman has played in movies like León and True Romance. But however dark the movie gets, it's always a lot of fun. Jack Black isn't as annoying as he can be sometimes because Po just seems like the kind of character he's meant to play. The animation in Kung Fu Panda 2 is extremely well done. It's incredibly cool to see the group fight as a team, and the character animation is expressive in both emotional and action scenes. The cinematography embraces a wide variety of techniques, from slow motion to first person chase scenes, and several sequences use 2D animation to great effect. The set pieces are action-packed, and entertaining. After one scene, I thought the movie was going to end soon just because of how big it was, but the real finale topped even that. And the landscapes and backgrounds are beautiful to look at, artfully designed but still realistic. I saw this movie in 3D, and for the first time, I definitely recommend it. I haven't had many good experiences with live action 3D, but animation is much better suited for it. Kung Fu Panda 2 is a thrill ride, and the 3D was crisp and well done. I have to give props to Hans Zimmer. After Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was a bit of a letdown, the soundtrack to Kung Fu Panda 2 is quite awesome, adding to the already epic tone. I honestly can't think of much that I can criticize about this movie. Po's ""this is awesome"" comments get a bit repetitive, and some scenes with Shen are a bit long. There's a plot point where the group and Po have an argument that kind of doesn't make sense. Otherwise, this movie was really entertaining, both as an action movie and a (admittedly aimed towards kids) comedy, with a strong heart in the center. If Cars 2 doesn't completely blow everyone away, Kung Fu Panda 2 definitely has a rightful chance at winning Best Animated Feature (which my brother jokingly called ""The Pixar Award"") this year. It's interesting to see animation take on different genres, and if you took out all the animals, this movie could definitely stand on its own as a kung fu epic. Dreamworks really stepped up its game, and I would gladly pay to see Kung Fu Panda 2 (maybe even in 3D).",8 "Disappointing. I was looking forward to this movie for two reasons: a great voice cast and the whimsy of multiple Spider Man/characters from varying dimensions. But instead of building interesting characters (heroes and villians) I was presented with a number of long, chaotic action sequences robbed of dramatic (or comedic) tension by the lack of well articulated characters and interpersonal dynamics. There was also a production anomaly that was puzzling - there were times when the animation was blurry as if drawn for 3D (there was a 3D version, but that wasn't the one I was viewing), so, I hastily put on my 3D glasses, which I happened to have at hand, and it was still 2D, just blurry ... odd(?). I hoped for a better story and entertaining character interactions but I was disappointed. I give this film a 5 (meh) out of 10. {Marvel Animation}",5 "Like a usual nolan film Every department had worked brilliantly. But what lacked here is a powerful story. when i close my eyes and think about the movie, What i see is the editing, camera technique and cinematography which were brilliant and inspiring. But the soul of a film is its story. Unfortunately the story of dunkirk is very simple and weak for a film. Thats why after watching the film we feel something not right. Nolan could have taken a different war story which is much more intense, engaging and nail biting and this story should hunt us after watching the film and that makes a movie a masterpiece. and this didn't happened with dunkirk.",6 "You have to really try hard to get me to not like a movie whose main theme is dancing (especially, learning to dance). You have to really try hard to get me to not like a film with Patrick Swayze.., and/or Jennifer Grey in it. I liked Swayze in Donnie Darko, Roadhouse and Ghost. I liked Grey in F.B's Day Off and Wind. This film was not just mediocre in its dialogue, production and yes, it's dancing: It was actually obnoxious: (the ever-present, glowering, rich Jew who was the owner of the Jewish summer camp for Jewish families. Everything was askew in this film: Grey's embarrassingly-conventional garb, in contrast to the people she associated with, was hard to watch. Swayze's and Greys dancing was stiff, rehearsed and inexpressive. It was as though they knew the moves, but did not know how to express their lives through the dance. (A little smiling would have helped). The abortion reference and inclusion in the plot did not sit well with me. I did not find this entertaining, and when the young man said, ""I could hear her screaming in the hall."", I pressed eject. What I find particularly appalling about this abortion content is one line, issued by the Jewish ""father"" of the child (the mother was gentile), in reference to the woman he impregnated: ""some people matter.., and some don't."" I could not help but think he may have meant gentiles (non-jews) in general. We see in Dirty Dancing how the other main gentile in the movie is cast as the ""bad boy"". What Dirty Dancing needed was a more dynamic character played by Jennifer Grey. She would have certainly been capable of it. If you are going to create tension: (a 30-something lady-killer with a younger woman), then bring it to a crescendo and ""burn down the house"". Complete the transformation of demure ""Baby"" (sic) to the defiant and autonomous Frances. Swayze needed to have a life outside of dancing, perhaps taking on the restrictive (and possibly elitist) management of the resort. We needed to see a ""barn-burner"" in Dirty Dancing with hotter, more expressive dancing and a much-greater development of the main characters' identities. Grey's character needed to complete and fulfill her transformation. Swayze needed to interact more forcefully and cleverly with his antagonists. Swayze's original partner, played by Cynthia Rhodes, may have been much-better played by fire-brand Demi Moore, his later beloved in Ghost. A professional salsa/meringue/ dancer may have been even better, because the acting was not especially difficult. Moore would have rectified this role. I object strongly to abortion being tossed into a picture to liven-up what is a still-dreary-and-now-morose film. It is cheap.., and it is disrespectful. I would have given a ""5"" to Dirty Dancing, appreciating some of the difficulties the couple went through and because of the fairly-good acting by Swayze and Grey, but the tactless inclusion of abortion (as excitement) caused me to detract one star. Choose life. Stand and fight. The full-fledged transformation we need from Dirty Dancing never happens, and we are left wondering who these people really are. Watch Bootmen, Center Stage, Flashdance or Shall We Dance, instead: Much-better movies.",4 "Just love it. british tv at its bedst, can't wait fore season 2",10 "If you are unaware, cognitive dissonance is trying to hold two opposing beliefs at the same time. This movie is trying to be both an old-school Hollywood musical romance and a modern, more realistic story at the same time. The problem is that these two styles do not play well together. You can either have the beautiful, yet unrealistic world of Singin' in the Rain or Oklahoma or you can have the more realistic but less shiny Lost in Translation or My Best Friend's Wedding, but trying to smash together Singin' in the Rain and Lost in Translation is going to turn out to be a big mess. I am a fan of old-school musicals, and I do enjoy a more realistic story as well. To me, this movie was not so much a ""you got your chocolate in my peanut butter"" moment as a ""you got your anchovy pizza in my strawberry cheesecake"" moment. No matter what frame of mind I tried to view this movie in, I was just annoyed. I appear to be in the minority in my low opinion of this movie, but I'm used to not thinking like the crowd, so I'm used to it.",1 "The good The acting is top notch. The orange and teal grade looks fantastic. Photography is excellent. The bad Fails to deliver the tension or climax it threatened to early on. As the credits rolled I was left with a ""was that it?"" Feeling somewhat cheated.",3 I have not watched an interesting film like this for some time.,9 How is this 7.7 literally just noise and shouting. Awful film!,2 "I really wanted to like this movie, however inconsistent pacing and poor plot development among other issues let down Dr. Strange fans. Pros: Creativity: I like how Raimi tried to incorporate some horror into a marvel movie, I think marvel in general needs to be more open to creative direction. CGI: Fight scenes were great and what I expected from a Dr Strange Movie. Cons: Inconsistent pacing and underdeveloped plot. Felt like the movie had no room to breathe. It went from event to event without much explanation or causality. This movie was hard to follow. Low 3D Framerate: I opted to see this movie in 3D and the low framerate sort of took away from the experience. I think I will see future movies in 2D. Powerscaling: Without getting into spoilers I think the powerscaling was way off this movie.",4 "Watched 'Ready Player One' as someone who got a lot of pleasure out of the book and who loves a lot of Steven Spielberg's previous work. Despite it getting a fair share of criticism from fans of the book, that there were also enough good things said about it from critics and that many of my friends said it was worthwhile persuaded me enough to see it.",6 "A Christopher Nolan film. Boring like every other movie he's written and/or directed. No surprise. Dunkirk is particularly unwatchable. Poor acting (I blame most on the terrible script), a whole bunch of uninteresting characters whose names you wouldn't know and never care about either, zero character development, slow moving, appalling camera work (the handheld effect once popular in the 2010s), and even the great Hans Zimmer didn't seem to know what to do with this material. His film score is a non-score (and I love The Thin Red Line soundtrack). Overhyped, entirely forgettable and even worse: this a masterclass in how not to tell story. Did I say this was boring?",1 "All reviews from the first seasons are pretty accurate. However, it's really a shame how they couldn't manage to recreate a similar atmosphere in season 2. It really tried to be bigger than it is, more nostalgic than it could be and although actors were not bad at all, their characters were no more believable or relatable than olive oil on a sundae. Season 2 was in the money business and that's it.",7 "What is with all the negative reviews? this show is awesome and the all the haters have problems. this was episode was funny and THAT ending, omg. i just want next friday to be here already. and finally, post credit scenes are back to the MCU.",9 "Flat, underdeveloped, one-dimensional main characters. It dragged, and felt like a Gaga documentary.",4 Couldn't even make it through the whole movie it was so violent and had violent and gross sexual scenes. I am a Jennifer Lawrence fan and am extremely disappointed.,1 "At the first season i think this anime is just good, but after i finished season 3 i feel this anime is damn great. Even though the season 4 quality was a little bit worse than i expected but that's still awesome",8 Trailer looked good but I found the movie a bit boring. I think it's an average movie nothing special.,5 "After season 1: I've enjoyed this more at beginning than towards the end. It was more endearing following true crime aficionados getting things hilariously wrong, while lying through their teeth to their tight-knit buddies. Branching one mystery into three was too ambitious and the branches resolved in sort of predictable ways. Each story was cut abruptly as a result. The trio got too competent (or lucky) to my taste, saving the day all by themselves. Some parts were funny and some were forced. I also wasn't entirely swept by acting. The characters never break their mold. Selena is too mild for snarky young woman set on uncovering the truth.",6 "Like all other marvel movies. Only this time they stretched the movie so much they need two movies. Every time the heroes are going to lose but at the end they win, i bet in part two the heroes still win and everybody who vanished will return. So i think the story is weak, but for a marvel movie my time was well spend.",4 "Please! No spoilers, no explanations necessary... save yourself! Run as fast as you can BEFORE buying a ticket to this hokey, cliché'-ridden disaster of a drama-fest way-off-target movie... Yeah. It's that freakin' awful. One lackluster scene after another. The bad guy? An overweight soggy-diaper of a science miss. Did this guy say ONE thing that was scientifically accurate? Did ANYONE making this film take a physics class??! What the h-ll's the matter with people today? Just because you drop some shiny dimes on a flick, it's automatically good??! This was worse than some of the third rate 1950s B-movies my Grandmother forced me to sit through in my youth! Second rate script, second rate acting... and LORD someone PLEASE help these people understand a thing or two about thermodynamics, or at the very least a junior high school level earth science class!

I am unable to watch a movie and read at the same time. So when I first watched this movie back in 2019 I walked out of the movie because despite they say it's language is English it is not. I'd say it's in a language that I would compare to the native language of the aboriginal people in Australia. I could be very wrong in saying that, anyway today I decided to give it another go since I found it on Netflix, knowing that Netflix will have it translated and spoken in English like so many other movies I have watched that's in another language. But alas they have not done this for this movie. So instead of giving up on Alpha for the second time, I decided that I will watch the movie through body language, facial expressions and how the characters interact with each other. In conclusion I can only say it would of been better if I could actually knew what was said, in saying that the movie was alright and I'll only be giving it a 4/10 for the cinematography and performances.",4 "As with any movie, it should follow some kind of rules or logic. Each movie can provide it's own. But this one makes no sense on any level. It's just a super cut of stunts. It shouldn't even act like it has a plot. The 2 stars is because the movie is pretty even though parts of that don't even make sense (spies wearing bright colors).",2 "The MCU has gone a bit downhill in recent days, but this TV show started in the absolute BEST era for the Marvel brand. It seemed to effortlessly fit into the films' world. It took a few episodes for it to really get going and for you to really develop interest in the characters, but that first season really finishes strong nonetheless. Admittedly, the last couple of seasons got a tad out-there, but their quality was still good. My biggest complaint was their misuse of the Agent Carter character brought in in the last season. Alas, with End Game being what it was, I'm sure they were given instructions from on high about that...",8 "The Boys is an original show, but it's not perfect. It's got some bad dialogue and a mediocre plot, and it has some strong positives as well. The actors, characters, and drama are all convincing, and the show as a whole is very entertaining and engaging. Give it a shot.",8 "Season 3 episode 1 So the first inhuman the AGENTS capture just happens to be GAY, really do we have to have it in our face all the time, lesbians and gays, another show that I'll have to stop watching because ABC wants to cater to the LGBT population, like they couldn't make enough money off all the heterosexuals that watch it. Has a decent plot, its 44 minutes of brain fodder, but not we have to deal with some gay dude every frickin episode, it seems like a majority of the networks thing that the general population wants to see this crap, I don't want to watch that, and I don't want my family watching it, we will have to watch another show now, so I guess the sponsors wont get my dollars now, and I'm sure I'm not the only one tired of the LGBT junk, it's in the news, in the papers, on cable TV, I'm tired of it.",1 Where are the hundreds of rescue vessels or the hundreds of thousands of troops? I do not think thatvthe film was anything like the real Dunkirk and must be a new 'woke' version of the event.,3 "I absolutely refuse to accept that this is an 8/10. It just isn't. At the very best it's a 5, because I get that it can be popular with 12-16 year olds. But for me it's a solid 1. Something is definitely off about these reviews. I can't believe it's 2022 and we're still producing cringe content like this. The story is terrible - every common trope you can think of in a teen series - it has it. The entire theme of the school is a ripoff of Hogwarts. There's no real development with the characters & they lack any depth. It feels like some Disney Original series with how surface level the story is and how overdone the characters are and how corny their lines are. I seriously cannot see anyone over the age of 13 giving this garbage more than 4 stars. It isn't a good show, it just isn't.",1 "I read all the reviews and the critics are right! 39% rotten tomato well deserve. There are some really good CGI scenes, but also a really bad one towards the end I can tell they are acting in front of a green screen. Super boring film, I just don't care about the characters! Most of them are not British! Eddie Redmayne is so boring, Zoe is boring, they are all boring.",4 "This movie was just awful. Sure, it had good panoramas (for the half the movie not shot in blizzard), but the pace was just mind-numbingly slow, the story was trite and contrived, the CGI animals were terribly rendered, and I really stopped caring about any of the characters before the movie was even a third of the way in due to complete lack of development.",3 "I really tried to like this show , but it was boring and slow.

I dont think i will watch the next episode , this was a big letdown .and i think the numers from 9.6 imdb will go down to 8 or something maybe lower . Godluck with your shitshow HBO i dont need it. I rather go with Gangs of London instead , that show had is flaws but still better than this.",8 "Special opening comment for IDMB.com: Honestly I just wanted to leave my thoughts on the film itself but then I saw the overwhelming amount of positive reviews on this film and praising it like there is no tomorrow. ""Love letter to Hollywood"" Really? In what way is La La Land a love letter? All it does is refer to some classics and then completely botches up the elements that makes us love the classics in the first place. If anything this is making a mockery out of everyone involved in those high quality old school musicals that were made with love and passion. La La Land is made out of greed. You better remember this. Now I have this out of my system my original review (which you can read on my website Chrichton's World: La La Land is a tribute to the old school musicals where actors like Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and many others impressed us with their acting, singing and dancing. They were top notch in whatever they did on the screen and truly were stars all around. However La La Land is not a particularly good tribute as it lacks a lot that made films like Singin' in the Rain and An American in Paris classics. So what went wrong? First and foremost the musical numbers are far from memorable. When I first heard the song City of Stars I liked it instantly. It easily is the best song but at the same time a very flawed one. Why? Ryan Gosling is not a good singer. I am sure he tried his best but you can hear that he can't sing that well. In another version of the song Emma Stone chimes in and I don't like that version at all because she is even a worse singer than he is. Both also can't dance and it's so bad that it was ruining the enjoyment. You can tell that they are struggling and their movements were far too slow. In the opening musical number you have a bunch of unknown people singing and dancing and they obviously know what they are doing as they move very swiftly and gracefully. They also do a lot of impressive stunt work very reminiscent of what was shown in the older musicals. And while this scene was good it exposed the flaws of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as leads. Especially in the first dance scene featuring Emma Stone it becomes painfully obvious she is not a match for anyone in the opening scene. Another huge problem is the story. Or lack of. Nothing in the story was remotely interesting and pretty by the numbers and the one supposed conflict was so predictable and forced that destroyed all the hope that was left. What hope? For this film to redeem itself. And it never does. Instead it gives us an ending opposite of what is expected since director Damien Chazelle is pretentious and very full of himself. I guess the fame and success he achieved with Whiplash has gotten to his head. And Whiplash wasn't that good in the first place. And no I don't need predictable endings. What I do need are endings that are logical and are written well. It has to make sense why characters behave and act a certain way. You have to give the viewer reasons to make their actions believable. Chazelle never even attempts this. He only gives a motivation out of convenience. Also I am failing to see how anything in this film could be seen as comedic. There maybe were one or two moments that were genuinely funny but enough for this film to be advertised as a comedy? Not in the slightest. Also just referring to the classics is not enough. You need to add something of your own to make it unique or entertaining. I mean these songs were the best they could do? At points they showed L.A. in the background and it looked like more was going to be done with the scenery like Michael Mann did in Heat. I think more beautiful shots of L.A. at night would have surely made some impact. But of course that would have required real effort. I don't feel like writing anymore. Truth be told I was very looking forward to this film since I really was in the mood for some old school fun and all I got in return is anger and disappointment since this film is nothing like the classics. I do think I have been very fair as this film is advertised as one of the greatest musicals / films in a long time. And this simply is not true. Even with all the good will this film has no redeeming elements whatsoever.",4 Can't believe the rating of this movie on IMDB. I wasn't convinced in the beginning to see it but I wouldn't like to miss a 7.9 star movie. Omg. It's so boring and soooo predictable.,3 "... and bailed. Just couldn't take it any more. Story had potential but poorly told and acted. Run from bad guys. Kill all sorts of innocents in the process. Why? To what end? Even the Ryan Reynolds deadpan quips were second rate. Enough. Just couldn't take it any more.",1 "If this is academy award stuff we're in big trouble.It's better left to those Imax guys, at least they don't have to worry themselves about character development. There you are , hurtling through space, seconds away from death, attached by a fragile cord, and you say ""is there a Mister Stone?"" give me a brucking fake. Nobody has the right to be called Kowalski in a movie except Clint Eastwood, he's the only one who can carry off a name like that. In my world, which is firmly rooted here on Earth,there wouldn't be a chance of this movie making it out of the production lab. But it seems that in the world of Hollywood nobody in quality control looks at the final product. I know movies are supposed to stretch your credibility but this one stretched you to snapping point. It should have been classified as a still birth, d.o.a. or whatever description they have for life's disappointments. If you still insist on going to see it , amuse yourself by trying to figure out what vast swaths of land and sea the ship is travelling over. There'll be little else of interest to hold your attention.",2 "The fantasy film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is directed by David Yates and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. The film takes place all over the wizarding world. In the first part of the final chapter of the hit series Harry Potter (Radcliffe), Hermione Granger (Watson), and Ron Weasley (Grint) are trying to form a plan with the group known as the Order of the Phoenix to overcome Lord Voldemort (Fiennes) and the rest of the death eaters. When the group is attacked by the death eaters they find themselves on the run while trying to find the horcruxes which can be used to destroy Lord Voldemort. Tensions grow between the three teens while they are searching for the horcruxes. Will they find all the horcruxes and make the wizarding world safe? You won't find out in this one but you will in the next one. The screenplay by Steve Kloves based on the world wide bestselling novels was poor because the film does not stand out on its own. I have not seen the last Harry Potter film since it was in theatres so I don't really remember all the details. But besides that it was a pretty basic film plot wise. Wizards attacked, on the run and in hiding, search for objects to destroy evil, get attacked along the way, and then get ready for the sequel. Now let me just say right now that I have not read the books and I'm not a die-hard fan of the series so don't hate me forever because I am writing a negative review about this film. Most great sequels or even decent sequels someone can go in and watch and enjoy without seeing the earlier films. If we look to this summer's Toy Story 3 it was a very good film that you did not really need to see the other films to enjoy it. David Yates direction on the other hand was pretty good. He had some very nice shots the whole way through, I can see him in the future on a different project getting some Oscar attention. I really liked the way he opened the film with a close up on the minister of magic's eyes and then all the cameras flashing taking a picture of him. Also, when Hermione was telling the legend of the three brothers I liked how he switched a Corpse Bride like animation technique, it was very effective and interesting. It reminded me a little of how a character in Kill Bill: Vol. 1 was telling a story and Tarantino decided to make it animated. Yates didn't get the greatest performances from his actors though. The acting in this film was mediocre, even though some supporting characters were able to give a nice performance. All three leads, Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint, did a decent job but nothing that will make me believe that they will remain stars after the series come to an end. The only one of the three that I think has a chance is Emma Watson because she gives the best performance of them in all the films and Radcliffe and Grint have a very unique look that will only work for a limited selection of films. Everyone in this film who established their career from other films such as Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter, and Brendan Gleeson, did a fine job with their very unique and in Carter and Gleeson's cases corky characters. I would have mentioned Alan Rickman as well but in this film his part only lasts around five minutes. The score by Alexandre Desplat was great as it is in all of the Harry Potter films. It added another layer to what was happening on the screen allowing the audience to get deeper into the film. The classical melodies are always great and I personally like a film better when they decide to make their musical classical rather than a non orchestrated score. Overall I give this film a 5/10. If I was to watch the first six films before this one than walk into the theatre I would have probably have given this a 6 or maybe even a 7. The main problem of this film is that it does not stand on its own unlike many great sequels over history such as The Godfather Part II, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Dark Knight, Toy Story 3, or any of the Lord of the Rings or Star Wars (original) sequels. I still recommend this film to Harry Potter fans and I hope that you enjoy it.",5 "Love the action, the acting and the soundtrack behind it. Stephen Chow is a genius behind this underrated film!!!!!",10 Is it just my amazon prime copy or at 1:46:00 in the movie is there a black patch at the bottom of the screen looks like a broken lens however its a amazing movie filled with action suspense and some comedic moments,10 Marvel your movies and shows are getting worse and worse or I'm getting older. I watched the first episode without high expectations and was disappointed anyway. The CGI is also getting worse and worse in your movies and shows. The CGI of The New Mutants should be the new standard of your movies and shows.,1 "This movie had big names and a big banner,hence expectations were big for me.For ease,i would divide the movie into 4 parts-the romance in the first half,aspergers syndrome,the killing and meeting the US president. All of you may know the story already or in brief.Lets forget that(its forgettable), 1.The romance part acted by the famous duo is so clumsy and lame,that you may want to see at least one scene where your heart moves with the actors,but NO!its fake,overacted and in-convincing because there is nothing that can make the actors fall in love in the movie,but still they fall because they have to.Forget good cinema,if you are looking for the usual bollywood romantic flick,this one is an attempt to prove itself different but alas falls halfway between both. 2.Aspergers syndrome,hmmm...well its more like a mix of mental retardation + selective aspergers syndrome because the hero combs his hair and gels it to perfection no matter what(even when he comes out from neck high water he doesn't forget to style back his hair),dresses well,overacts and shakes his voice too much,which gives us a feeling that he is mentally retarded or is feeling cold,he is emotionally attached to his wife(aspergers-lack of empathy to people,even when the kid dies he runs to get evidence on the cause of his death)but still does everything for getting back her love because he is hurt,the hero is brilliant in all areas or topics,a genius whereas another typical feature of aspergers is limited areas of interest usually confined to one or two topics and also limited.i am pointing these things because these are the most important factors in the movie.i saw 'ADAM' before seeing this and Hugh Dancy enacting this disorder is so close to reality whereas Shahrukh's is close to a disaster. 3.the Killing-even though the FBI/police has no evidence on the killing,they identify that the killing is communal.how?remains a mystery.the whole provocation for the killing has a far margin to the incidents of the film,and the child's surname is a very lame reason for the happenings!!!anyways,story moves... 4.the meeting with the president-one of the big things and i was hoping as something at least to look for in the movie,the highlight of the movie as you may say-is sadly the worst part.Absolutely nothing happens in the meeting,even a possible interesting conversation between the president and this interesting hero turns out to be MUTED and we hear what kajols thoughts about the incidents are??Was the director running away because he knew the script was weak?Come'on this guy travels whole of America and saves an entire flock of people from a flooded city which the American govt.,has given up,becomes the media's VVIP,meets the president and says hello,how are you,i am not a terrorist and president says yes,glad to know!hi to your wife and sorry about your son,TC...i waited till the last thinking the last part would give up something good,but ALAS..phew!!! In short,a terrible movie,the director should be thinking 3 times before publicizing this,of course its hard work but these kind of movies kills movies slowly.If you love good cinema please avoid this one.And last but not least,there are no good songs(if you are looking for one)!!!",4 "I am baffled by the near universal praise this movie is receiving here on IMDb. Out of 2 hours and 49 minutes: about a half hour was spent watching people crying - every star got their turn; about a half hour was spent watching people docking spacecraft with their joysticks under great duress. Really? With that AI robot thingie we can't automate the docking? And what oh what does docking add to the story? So right there we could cut the movie down to about an hour, and we will only have about 40 minutes left to go. Leaving maybe 10 minutes or so that were visually interesting... moderately. There were no visual breakthroughs of any kind in this movie - zip. And listen, I am a lifetime sci-fi fan. So the movie had a wormhole, and some time distortion. Please, is that in itself enough to satisfy anybody who cares about this stuff or do you maybe have to elaborate and get creative? There was simply nothing of unusual intelligence or quality in this movie. Not the writing, not the acting, not the directing, not the visuals. In the large theatre where I saw this with hundreds of people, one person starting clapping at the end. And the crowd laughed. If you're a Christopher Nolan fanboy, then by all means go and enjoy yourself and give it a ten. If that's not you, spend the time doing your taxes or something, you will thank me.",5 "Storytelling 101 is to show not tell and this movie not only tells, it preaches and lectures to the point where I kept spacing out like I was watching a boring hot pink Ted Talk. The movie starts out pretty well but as soon as the actual story kicks in it goes off the rails. I read reviews claiming this was a poignant and deep film but instead it feels shallow and trite. I don't disagree with what the movie is trying to say (I'm a woman) however I felt like it would have been much more profound if they showed it, rather than had speech after speech saying essentially the same thing. Margot and Ryan are spectacular at their roles and the soundtrack is great. Visually it's top notch. It should have been a kid's movie but they wanted to go into more than one lane. So IMO it's not a must see for kids or adults. The trouble with a lot of these films that wax on about the patriarchy, inequality and how hard life is are almost always written and produced by the elite 1 percenters. This film is no exception. Still I do appreciate the theme of how hard it truly is to be a woman. Just wish they could have done it in a more clever way - especially since this was the most hyped up film I've seen in years.",2 "Boring, disjointed, not showing any real feel of the event, no characters. The same boat sinks how many times? I thought the plane that ran out of fuel must have been catching a few thermals because it certainly defied the laws of physics. When I watched this film I thought they must be on a shoe string budget! $150m - Where? Just don't bother - watch another movie instead! I don't like giving bad reviews but I hope people may see this review and spend an evening on different entertainment instead.",1 "I would never in a millions years have clicked on this show, however after being recommended it by a couple of friends and family members I decided that I had to see what the buzz was about myself. My wife and I were hooked from the first episode, and ended up watching the rest of the episodes over a couple of sittings. Something about it felt fresh, new and different. It definitely didn't feel like a Netflix adaptation (which is usually terrible) but rather something creative and worth our time. I would have liked to see a bit more of Wednesday's life before she goes to the school, however, I guess the director was going for something different. Great show!",8 This movies is not great as Iron Man 1 but this movie is still enjoyable and this movie also don't have too much powerful villain and if you wanted to skip this part you can.,7 "This film has no human emotion or depth in characters, and the screenplay is non existent! However my feelings toward the film are generally favourable. Christopher Nolan had to make a film based on a historical event with no novel or story to adapt from, and rather than risk writing a bad story with a poor script, he gave us a masterclass in what he does best. Private Ryan and Band of brothers, as examples in this genre, are still in a league of their own and it will take a lot to match them. This film unfortunately doesn't achieve it. If special effects and cinematography are your thing, look no further",7 Tom Hardy's voice will forever be remembered. Is that a good thing? Probably not. This movie had high standards after the dark knight hit the theatres back in 2008. This movie was disappointing and was more of a war movie than a Batman Flick.,5 "I rarely watch network television anymore, but a friend of mine convinced me to watch this. The writing is sometimes funny, hit and miss. However except for O'Neil & Stonstreet, the acting is terrible. Where do they get these people from? Gould couldn't act to save his life (Ok, he's just a kid, but STILL). And was Haley adopted? She looks nothing like the rest of the family. Maybe we'll find out in a later episode the mailman is her father. This show strives for the same comedy and edginess of Arrested Development. But it falls way short. Not because the writing is bad, but because the acting stinks and there is no chemistry.",1 "Slowly paced and predictable. It reminded me a late season Walking Dead episode. Not one of the really bad ones, more like one of the really boring ones. Not sure why there are so many rave reviews for this snoozer, but different strokes, I guess.",4 "So, this movie was cool. Heath was amazing and Aaron Eckhart stole the show. But something was definitely wrong here. A 2 and a half hour movie is fine with me, but only when necessary. It seemed like it could have been 30 minutes shorter and some non essential points could have been easily removed, or it could have been 30 minutes longer and more developed. Either way, it felt super sloppy. oh, and the Batman voice was just too stupid for words. That voice was fine for ""Begins"" when his dialog was short and sweet. But for the monologues it was just silly. It sounded like when Homer Simpson tries to whisper, but everyone hears him anyway.",6 One of the worst shows ive seen put out by netflix. Was expecting another superhero movie and all it was was garbage. Done after 1.5 episodes.,1 "Its well-acted, nice period touches. But they should have been able to show at least some of the actual chess, critical moves, and what few glimpses i was able to discern didn't make a ton of sense, and sometimes the same board with no additional moves had different configurations from one shot to another. Ajt is good as usual, most of the opponents are well-played. The mom is also very well-played and a very interesting character but i think the show would have benefitted from some actual chess-related suspense. Its one of those shows my wife and i wanted to continue watching, but without much enjoyment, emotion, or excitement.",1 "This movie is one of the worst comedies i watched in a long time. I watched this ""movie"" with my girlfriend,and that 2 hours i would want to take back,sure movie has a happy ending but in between there is movie with a lot of bad acting and a lot of swearing,who write this sh*** ;@ This movie is for youngsters,i like to think i'm one of those young people and i don't get this kind of comedies,why there must be so much of bad words in the movie to be funny,i think i laugh 4 or 5 times in 2 hours,i don't know who rated this movie 8/10,this movie don't deserve more then 4 or 4.5 top. If you think your time is precious to you don't watch this movie !!!",3 "What are 'stakes' when it comes to super-heroes? How do they function when it comes to protecting people over the world and saving us from the enemies? What if there's destruction? How can people be trusted? Or, more philosophically, can the heroes trust themselves if they have to live with the deaths at their hands (or can they)? So many questions are at the heart of Captain America: Civil War, the sort of sequel-cum-culmination of a lot of plot threads and emotional stakes that have been set up since Iron Man 1 in 2008. It feels earned, and it's hard to not think of the immediate comparison of the other big super-hero beat-down of this year, Batman v Superman. Those comparisons could last all day, but I think it's also apt, even more-so, to think of this as a criticism of X-Men Last Stand, which was another film that had super-hero ""registration"" as far as being under control and the different factions that pop up and sides taken as far as who is right and wrong and the grey areas. But where that film felt too cluttered by characters, Civil War is not. It very easily could've been, and it's easy to see it as not only are characters from the Iron Man and Captain America series here (Pepper Potts is out and Peggy Carter passes on early in this film, but that's fine, less potential clutter). But there are also additional characters from other movies (Ant-Man) and even a new character, a friendly neighborhood kid from Queens (you know him if you saw any images in the past month for even a nano-second, it's not as if the internet does a good job of keeping things on the low-down, it's Spider-Man), and yet everyone has a purpose, every character of some significance is given time to have a conversation and to talk about things so we know where they're coming from (i.e. Scarlet Witch and the Vision even do, which is a great couple of scenes), and so on. The Russo brothers do a fantastic job of keeping things emotionally speaking with Rogers and Stark clear and yet complicated; we know that the deaths of so many in an explosion at the start of the film weighs down on Rogers (though perhaps we don't see it as much), while for Stark it's thrown in his face every other moment of every day, and the turmoil is there on his face all the time (though Downey Jr is such a gifted actor as to show it just enough and to modulate the turmoil so that it comes at striking times, all of it in the eyes, it's really one of his best performances of his career). So as this goes on the plot keeps going as well, with Daniel Bruhl playing a variation on a character in the comics (who I'm not familiar with but it doesn't matter) named Zemo. This is an interesting villain and one of the better ones in the series (not Loki or Ultron level great but close), as he is *just a guy*. He's not some ultra criminal mastermind - though he certainly knows how to set up a mass explosion - but he is also someone who is another person who has the vast well of grief and vengeance from people he's lost (family but also just, as he says, ""everyone"") from his home in Slovakia. It's a good performance from Bruhl too, not too over the top (close to it but more realistic), and it's a play on past conflicts from other MCU movies. Yet here it makes its mark more because, well, this time it's more about how to tear up the super-heroes by doing it from the inside, which itself is reflective of SHIELD being taken down by Hydra in Winter Soldier and the seeds of doubt already there in 'Ultron'. It's a pretty strong creation for this particular movie. This is a very operatic type of movie - The Empire Strikes Back gets name-checked and it almost feels like a bold statement, like 'really, did you just make that even in a jesting manner in this big bad-a** action sequence at this airport - but damn if it doesn't try and possibly does live up to that standard of blockbuster excellence. It's a lot of fun though, there's lightness and quips and jokes and moments visually, filmmaking wise, that makes this something that will entertain you if you're only looking for surface thrills. And at the same time I found a lot underneath, and what it all leads up to makes things devastating for the characters. It's not perfect - I have parts I can pick at as far as a particular character's fate following the battle, and a speech given at a funeral scene is so on the nose that there's barely a nose left to see - but it's about as good as mainstream action spectacle gets.",10 "The sequel to 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger & 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier, 'Captain America: Civil War' is Popcorn Entertainment! Its fun, engrossing & watching the Superheroes fight it out between them, is a sight to be seen. This is how a Superhero Film should be. 'Captain America: Civil War' Synopsis: Political interference in the Avengers' activities causes a rift between former allies Captain America and Iron Man. 'Captain America: Civil War' is not perfect, its not even close to it. But what it is, in totality, is an arresting Superhero film, that shows Marvel's most prolific Good Guys fight it out. And I'm gonna say it again, the Sequence involving Team Capt vs Team IronMan, is exhilarating. Just a month ago we saw a STINKER involving Superheroes, but the real gift for fans like me, is this one. Screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely is mostly arresting. Although, its a bit too long & a bit too busy. I did not particularly enjoy the final 20-minutes, I felt the ""final showdown"" could've been sharper. But otherwise, I ain't complaining. The narrative slowly builds up & the reason why the good-guys go against each other, makes sense. Its involving & undoubtedly entertaining. Anthony & Joe Russo's Direction is superb. They have handled this blockbuster, with flourish. Cinematography is top-notch, while the Editing could've been crisper. Art & Costume Design are perfect. Action-Sequences & Graphics are FANTASTIC. Henry Jackman's Score is great. Performance-Wise: Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America, delivers a committed performance, but its Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man, who steals the thunder. This is a more serious Stark we see here & its a welcome change. Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier, is in form. Daniel Brühl as Helmut Zemo, is solid. William Hurt as Thaddeus ""Thunderbolt"" Ross, defines command. But The Highlights, however, are Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man & Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa / Black Panther. Holland is scene-stealing good, while Boseman is electrifying. I personally can't wait to see their standalone films in the coming future! And Paul Rudd as Scott Lang / Ant-Man, shines. Others lend good support. On the whole, 'Captain America: Civil War' is great fun! Do Watch!",7 "Season 1, it's not bad there is potential, something is missing so that the story is captivating",7 "The first season was a solid 9. The second maybe a 7. The third season was downright unwatchable. It was purely for shock value. It had massive potential but it got Seth Roganed with completely unnecessary side stories and disgusting scenes. Not even Dean Winchester, who was amazing in it, could save it. One of 2 shows I've ever watched where I couldn't finish it. Very disappointed in the writers. I still give it 4 stars overall because there is some fantastic acting from the main characters and the main plot is refreshingly unique for a superhero show. The first season reels you in and hits a homerun for entertaining. After that, it is pretty clear the personal (lack of) morals and identity politics seeped its way into the 'creative' writing. Typical of Hollywood's new agenda driven wave.",4 "Too loud in the theater and not a good film. Sorry It all starts out promising. Setting things up and being as good humoured as usual. But then the time travelling stuff sets in. At first it sounded like this was going to be fun. But as it marched on it felt like way to much was being thrown in there, and the entire story (and a few of the previous movies) seem to get trashed in the chaos. I love time travel movie's if they setup some rules and stick to them. But do alot of contradicting stuff and you lose me. Still. There are a few surprises, and the big finale is still amazing to look at. The Ending does seem fitting, but the stink from the middle part of the movie stays throughout, and i was left scratching my head at least a couple of times more with revelations at the end. Oh, and I'm not sure what I think about the hulk in this.",4 "It's artistic if you take still shots, but as a movie there is nothing there. A relatively normal, intelligent, mute girl basically lives her life putting up with horrible people while still keeping her soul. Even the characters that are supposedly ""friendly"" are fake/narcissistic as well. So as the viewer you have to put up with all that as well.",2 "This show had the potential to be awesome. But in typical Netflix fashion, it was very poorly done.it jumped all over the place, sometimes making it hard to follow. It almost seems like they episodes were out of order. The special effects were boring and almost cartoonish. I'm very disappointed!",1 "I never watched any of the films. I like Bennedict Cumberbatch I've seen him in a few things. At first I thought they way he reads people was silly, now I'm finding my self doing it. Lol. I've watched the first season and am almost done with 2. Murder in Belgravia is my favorite episode so far. Watson has become annoying to me tho and the episodes are so long that when they revisit something from an hour ago you forget but all and all it's a well done series and not normally the kind of thing I'd watch but I will finish 2 and see how I feel.",7 "I had no idea who was in this movie. Or what it was about. Frequent captions along the way gave my wife and me clues as to what the movie might be about. But after about 15 minutes into the movie, and every 5 minutes or so after that people started walking out of the movie. I have only done that once in my life. Mr. Mondo's video 40 years ago. But I seriously gave it consideration that day. The movie had its moments. Hence the 2 star rating. And it had the usual gratuitous Tarantino violence with which the director has made himself famous. But beyond that, we kept wondering what the crap the movie was about. Still don't know to this day. Sorry. This one was 3 hrs of my life I'll never get back.",2 "Season 1 8/10 Season 2 6/10 Season 3 3/10 I just skipped every second minute of the last 2 episode of season 3 only to end this miserable season. So many story, place jumps without explanation, with no reason, something happens, one person's is here and next scene he is somewhere else and now both try to find each other again, but 20 seconds before they were in the some room. That was the most confusing story telling, scene editing, acting I have ever seen, and I love the Witcher world, that's why I rated the last season with 3 of 10 but it deserves 0. Horrible. I am so sad. It's like they just cut out whole parts of episodes and then tried to glue the loose parts together. Nothing makes sense.",3 "It's an original idea to introduce the alternate world of someone's mind as the place of the action, and by this i mean doing voluntary, deterministic, cause and effect actions that do affect the reality of the character involved. I'm not a great movie fan, i don't really make a goal for myself in following some trend or idea in the movie world, let's just say I feel sometimes the TV set has too much control on the movies I watch, :), and coming from this I dare to say that the theme is not quite present in the past years, and this is a good thing to start with for a success movie. But besides being an original idea, i think it's followers failed to make the most out of it. My point is that if you try to extract from the movie the specific of this new world they discovered for us you can see it's not too much. You can bend the cityscape, you can make the things explode, there are new specializations for the people involved (some create and some just act), and somehow you can keep some dead people consciousness trapped inside this world, and there's a door to some dark other world where these dead people go. And this is all about this mind world. The bad thing is that this is not enough. It's not enough developed for us and it was not enough for this movie authors. Apart from this comes a load of pop-corn movie elements which you can see in every typical action movie: they run a lot, they shot each other a lot, and that's about all. So the specific of the mind world is left apart, and the action movie takes too much. In this sense I say it's a lost opportunity. Too bad for them - the movie industry - that they spoiled us with such great movies as ""Solaris"", ""Dark City"", ""Sin City"", ""Immortel"" and a lot more - some of my favourite movies ever - and learned us what to expect from such alternate reality worlds and ideas. This movies have fully developed worlds in which the original element or idea is led to take entirely over the world and action and it's doing it so good ! The action of such movies can't be the same outside these movies and in this sense we can say these movies ideas are fully grown and developed. And this is the major shortcoming of ""Inception"", it can be more, it's a lost opportunity to do a really great movie with a novel idea.",5 "Violence and gore are in service only to themselves here. It seems that ""shock"" value is what sells the show to new generations. Violence is rather unnecessary and doesn't really help the plot or character development. It's there because someone said it needs to be there. Everything needs to be ""graphic"" nowadays. There is no art in this show. There is no class in it. There is no worthy plot or anything except it's ""shock"" value. Empty minutes filled with blood. One second of Jackson's LOTR has more class to it than this full boring show. Can't say I expected too much, but some things are better left dead in the graveyard. I just hope that Martin will do the justice to book series as it would be a huge shame that this work represents his work in novels.",3 "Newcomers will get confused but trust me, they will get it eventually in the end....it will all be explained....so don't judge the show after only watching 3 episodes or less.....I've seen it already...I loved it",8 "If you're a fan of murder mysteries, 'Glass Onion' is a must-see. The film is incredibly well-written, with a complex and engaging plot that keeps you guessing until the very end. The characters are well-developed and the dialogue is sharp and clever, making it a joy to watch. The film's setting is also well-utilized, with the moody and atmospheric locations adding to the overall sense of mystery and intrigue. The cinematography is beautiful, with stunning visuals that really enhance the overall viewing experience. One of the things I particularly enjoyed about 'Glass Onion' is that it kept me guessing throughout. The twists and turns were expertly executed and kept me on the edge of my seat. The final reveal was satisfying and left me wanting more. Overall, 'Glass Onion' is a fantastic murder mystery that I would highly recommend. It's a must-see for fans of the genre and anyone who enjoys a well-written and expertly executed film. Rian Johnson is a talented filmmaker, and it's clear that he put a lot of thought and care into crafting this murder mystery. The decorated cast also did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life and bringing the story to life on the screen. I hope you have a chance to see ""Glass Onion"" and enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you for reading my review!",8 "Just watch this title. Though it is a kidnapping thriller, I feel that thrill is lesser, the torture is more and suspense is unnecessarily stretching for a long way. 2.33 hours movie is very lengthy to such an average plot. only last 20 minutes will entertains you with shocking twist and stupidly uncompleted end. I wonder to see 8.1 rating for such lengthy and mostly boring movie even good acting by Hugh Jackman. But me impressive acting done by Jake Gyllenhaal in the role of detective. Climax suspense revealing is not well justified. End is not clear. Overall It is a very slow kidnap drama with lesser thrill and more boring with extra dose of torture. One thing is also me bother that there is no good looking actress in such boring drama to relief you as there are at least a beautiful actress in almost every Hollywood boring movies. If you are regular viewer of movies then you can realise.",4 "First of all, I'm not against this movie. I found it entertaining, it wasn't boring (and that's rare nowadays), but... I can't understand why critics celebrate this so much. It's not gonna be cinema history as Tim Burton's first film, it's not as dark as the first film, and even the plot is not as good as the first films. There are lots of events in this movie copying Batman 1989's scenes. The escape of Rachel, Batman and Rachel in the Batmobile, then in the Batcave, the dialog is almost the same as the first Batman's. Remember Batman and Vicki Vale in those scenes. The music is not so characteristic, like Danny Elfman's was, and the image of Gotham City is not what a fan imagines. Even the actors: Bale is OK, Caine is good, Liam Neeson is the same as the jedi master, but KAtie Holmes is less than a Batman-girl... first of all, blond looks better in dark Gotham, and after beauties like Kim, Michelle or Nicole she looks more like a mouse. I don't like rewriting the story (The Joker is gonna show up again) and summarizing: it's not what we except from a Batman movie. There are no great stars with charisma like Nicholson, Basinger, de Vito, Pfeiffer or good characters like Christopher Walken was, there's no comic feeling, not dark enough, no cool Gotham or Arkham sets, no Cool Bat-music, no blonde beauties, no good villains... Next time, make the movie more BATMANISH!!!",4 Great acting with some very funny moments. Just watch.,10 "I can understand that there is a message to tell but, compare with others movies and this one, the one has least humanity, win the Oscar? No, I can't understand.",5 "This show is a good time, id recommend it to anyone that's looking for a quick simple entertaining bit of two and a half hours to watch on Netflix. to anyone looking for a show that's above the average bar that most Netflix schmutz provides, you've come to the wrong place sadly. This show has flaws, some major some minor, but I feel that most of it is ignored on purpose, and that's a good thing most of the time. The acting in this movie is all over the place but most of it hold up to your average acting job in an A list movie or show. This show has a large number of random voice-overs where the characters are on screen and they say their thoughts. these do not work. I noticed this almost immediately and it is without a doubt the biggest flaw this show has other than the constant use of the same three songs over the 8 episodes this show presents you There are some really beautiful shots in some of these episodes, but its so inconsistent that it feels like the whole show has different directors for every episode. This show is not anything above a 7. Understand that a 5.5 is a mathematical average if you take the numbers one through ten and calculate the mean average. that means my rating is ABOVE average. A ten out of ten means that this show accomplished something above the bar in an extreme way, but unfortunately this did not do anything close",6 "The show draws you in immediately, but there's little substance behind the veil of 80s nostalgia. The story and characters seems more like an afterthought, just contrived content to carry the aesthetics. The actors are talented, but it shows that the characters and their experiences don't draw on personal experience (as the Duffers are to young to remember the early 80s). It's like an AI was fed a bunch of 80s movies and put together a show from that.",5 "I watched the movie, was somewhat disappointing, I don't know these directors think that just making a movie 20 decibels louder than it should be is going to make people like the movie more. The acting is ok,, the action is just ok. But this movie just doesn't really live up to the expectations. It's worth watching on big screen, but to loud, not any kind of a true plot. I could actually have scores less stars, but I'm trying to be nice.",7 "To clarify, I've never played the game and only knowledge of this before hand was that it is post apocalyptic. Brilliant start to the episode but disappointingly became rather formulaic towards the end . I'll definitely watch episode 2 but am a tad concerned I may lose interest rather quickly . The start of the episode rivalled Dawn Of The Dead for foreboding menace but unfortunately it degenerated into another run of the mill Walking Dead type post apocalyptic thriller. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to guess what happens for the rest of the season . Good enough but certainly not deserving of anything higher than a 7 in my opinion.",7 Very overrated. it was a bit boring and dragged on .,4 "5 years with closed eyes without electricity and still living, having food etc. Ok then. I bet next year we will see Bird Box 2. Too much overrated hype around this story",5 "Should The Avengers be nationalised? This is the controversial idea running through the film, tearing the superheroes apart and into a ""civil war"". It is interesting to note that the two blockbuster comic-book movies which were released just weeks apart- Civil War and Batman vs Superman- each have a similar thread. They are both about collateral damage and a guilty conscience splitting those who would normally be on the same side. The key difference is that Captain America: Civil War is a far more engaging and enjoyable affair. After a disastrous campaign in Lagos, the majority of the world's states have had enough of the Avengers' vigilante actions. By signing the UN-drafted Vienna accords, the group will surrender their independence by coming under government oversight and control. However some of them, led by Steve Rogers, will simply not have it. In an ironic turn of events, it is the privately-funded Tony Stark who is flying the flag of nationalisation while being opposed by the government creation of Captain America. This leads to a hugely enjoyable set-piece at an airfield which pits superheroes against other, akin to an all-star game that actually matters, and answering thousands of playground arguments of ""who would win in a fight between x and y?"". Despite the serious political theme and the battle of ideas between The Avengers the film has a wittiness to it, helped by funny turns from Ant-Man and Tom Holland's debut as Spiderman. Civil War is not perfect- it is slightly overlong- but the clashes between the characters meant something and unlike Dawn of Justice you understand why they have turned on each other like this. In short, it's the cinematic superhero showdown you always wanted.",8 "Personally it leaves me gagging, if a movie begs for an Oscar as horribly as A BEAUTIFUL MIND does. But what makes me gag even more is that this movie is actually lying about its troubled ""hero"": In a biographic movie like this it is unacceptable to just drop or alter facts like the main character being antisemitic etc., just because it doesn't come in handy for an Academy Award.",1 "The series is quite fine. The Easter Eggs are on point. The story is confusing. But we know it's a prologue to Doctor Strange & buildup for Wanda. The villain characteristic & backstory is poor as usual of Marvel. Seriously, Thanos is the only villain that made some sense & was promising. Whatever, you have to watch it for Doctor Strange. So go ahead. It is good though. But not top class.",7 Very disappointed...boring. . . Nothing has happened.,1 "One nice combat movie I have watched same like savings private Ryan,dankirk and pearl harbor",6 This mini-series is a complete mess. Very ambitious and perhaps also artistically valuable. But I was just bored to death. The first two episodes are in black & white sitcom style. The third is in color but still in sitcom style. The fourth episode is meant to be an explanatory episode with regards to the first three episodes but that did not work for me.,1 "I know few, if any, will read this. The special affects are good but they get carried away with the heros and the rival to Stark. The character owns the company (Hammer) and can't do anything to stop or know what they (Vanko) is doing, really. Then a woman that is 100 pounds soaking wet beats up men with more power and we sit and eat it up. I don't want to get political but everything is now, but no self-respecting actor back in the day would allow themselves to be beat up by a woman. Can you see John Wayne, Clark Gable, Clint Eastwood saying, oh the Script calls for this tiny woman that weighs 80 pounds is going to beat my men up and then me, no, NOT HAPPENING. THE PROBLEM is these actors, the men, are willing to take a role like that and if they have juice allow themselves to be beat up by a woman that can't fight. Then the woman outside in the real world think they are tough and the men become violent. That's why, in recent times, the last 50 years, The Predator is far superior to all thses marvel movies and their ilk. Wake up and make things normal and men in movies, grow a pair. (I say this because John Wayne was told, in a script, to shoot a man in the back, he said no way, the character and me are not like that, I will never shoot a man in the back. I don't mean that all these guys are tough or can fight, but you have to draw a line somewhere. BTW, that doesn't mean if she shoots them that's not ok, it wouldn't if I had the pull, it is, but again all the roles are discombobulated and that is a recipe for problems and always will be and that's why children or simple minded love these movies (and these people make money off the ""masses"") unless pressured to watch with people and do so to keep the peace. But, again, the best in the ""alone"" Iron man movies is Downey, bar none, but in this one Mickey Rourke is top notch and if I wrote something, definitely he is the go to man!",5 "Stranger Things was an absolute blast to watch. As we have come to expect from Netflix, the production side of things was spotless. The show is visually stunning, the score is compelling, and the performances are excellent across the board. However, the writing does suffer from an over-abundance of cliché. Of course, Stranger Things is, at its core, a callback to the classic monster movies of the 80s meaning that much of this cliché is not only forgivable, but even adds to the overall atmosphere of the show. My main problem with this is that the characters were only barely interesting enough to keep me invested in their stories. Again, much of this was intentional, but I feel that it was a bit overdone on the character side of things. We have all seen the alcoholic, loner, cop with a tragic past, the attractive, straight-laced young girl that yearns to break out of her shell despite the protestations of her more sensible friend, and the frustrated kid that sees what is going on, but is ignored by the adults so he takes things into his own hands. With all the other clichés - those of plot, visuals, and music - Netflix used them, but added a layer of production value that elevated them to the next level. However, with character, they are more-or-less tired old reruns of characters we have all seen a thousand times. That being said, Stranger Things is definitely worth the watch. For the most part, it rides the line between familiarity and mystery, and, for all my griping about the characters, I did care enough that I never lost interest in their fates. Were they complex and compelling? No. However, they were good enough. Besides, Stranger Things' calling card is not the writing or the characters. It is not a moving drama or a character study, it is a nostalgic revitalization of an out-dated genre. On this front, the show succeeds admirably. It will not challenge you, nor will it leave you with any lingering emotion, but it does provide 8 hours of some of the most beautiful, thrilling, and binge-able television in recent memory.",8 "Apart from some performance of Chris Hemsworth, nothing really attracts the audience. Some good action scenes in between but violence is overdone. The worst part of the screenplay was the portrayal of Dhaka, anyone living in Dhaka or who has visited will agree. Also the plot lacks serious depth of study in terms of recent history and events. Bangladesh Army conducted the most successful hostage rescue in a terrorist attack in recent past in ""Holey Artisan"" in Dhaka, 2016. You can be imaginative in your but this is laughable.",1 "Ring Ring! Karthik picks up the phone and speaks to someone he never thought he would.. The person speaking claims to be Karthik!

The music of the movie(Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy) is an asset for the film! Background score by MIDIval Punditz is great! Deepika is getting worse! She definitely needs someone to train her! The main aim of a suspense movie is to keep the audience guessing what will happen next and Karthik Calling Karthik succeeds in doing that! To conclude: Positives: The suspense is maintained well, Superb acting by Farhan and excellent music! Negatives: The ending of the movie may NOT be appreciated by some! My Rating : 7/10 Thanks and Regards",7 "Visual effects are fantastic no doubt ..But story is slow paced so the screenplay & direction . Performances are ok not too promising ,its just one time watch ,not memorable ..",7 "Very good entertaining and engaging movie. You can surely relate with your life at any point of the movie. Salute to makers' team.",10 "The Curse of the Black Pearl was almost loved by many critics and according to some of them, it was a masterpiece. Then, why? You know, critics don't like such kind of movies, the movies which they call blockbusters, they underestimate such kind of movies and don't give high ratings. Even the sequel can be an example. As I see, they did not like the second movie as many people did not. Firstly, I want to say that I don't categorize movies as blockbuster and non blockbuster. What I am trying to say is that Curse of the Black Pearl has nothing different or unusual that would make even critics appreciated, instead, it was engrossing, entertaining, but a so so movie. Just another adventure movie. I slightly enjoyed it, it was entertaining, but mildly entertaining, so I cannot say a lot of fun here. I had expected much more by trailer. I think that I can tell my thoughts more clear above The King Arthur. Curse of the Black Pearl is such a movie. I was entertained by The King Arthur, but just by some scenes, it was not uninteresting, it was engrossing, but no more than that. I had rented it, watched, was entertained, then gave it back. It was a so so movie, it was not a new Gladiator, it was not a new Excalibur. This first movie, Curse of the Black Pearl is such a movie, if you ask me. It is an engrossing pirate movie with ghosts who look like flesh and blood, but turn into ghost by moonlight. Cool! As for Johnny Depp, one of my all time favorite actors, Jack Sparrow is remarkable, interesting, but he cannot even touch Jack Sparrow in Dead Man's Chest. In the sequel, this character is much more interesting, eccentric, colorful and funny. However, his performance in all The Pirates of the Caribbean movies is outstanding, especially in the second movie! Jack Sparrow hides a secret, it is unfolded at the last part, but it ruins the character, it kills the humor of the character. I was just disappointed, but not so important. Before the sequel was released, I had been sure that the second movie would surpass the first movie by far on all counts and I was not mistaken about it.",6 "Barbie Did you grow up playing with Barbie's? If so, you probably know that not everyone likes the idea of Barbie. Some people think Barbie's are harmful to children. Other people love Barbie. This new movie called, Barbie, explores why Barbie could be problematic. Greta Gerwig is the director, previously she directed Little Women. It stars Margot Robbie from Birds of Prey and Suicide Squad, Ryan Gosling from The Notebook and La La Land, Michael Cera from Arrested Development, Helen Mirren, and Rhea Perlman. In 1959, Ruth Handler, the co-founder of the Mattel toy company, created Barbie. She wanted this doll to inspire little girls to dream and know they can be whatever they want. This thought process seems sexist, it leaves out little boys, who also can be whatever they want. The movie will show you that Handler's idea that Barbie will make society better, hasn't worked out as she probably wanted. Barbie (Margot Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) live in Barbie land, where women are in charge. Barbie needs to travel to the real world, where she discovers men are in charge and she isn't the inspiration she thought she was. Robbie plays two sides of the same character, at first Barbie is very carefree in Barbie land, and oblivious to all societies' problems. When she gets to the real world however, she discovers things seem to be the opposite from where she came from. Not only is Gosling nice to look at but he also will make the audience laugh. Ken has always felt left out of Barbie land, until he travels to the real world with Barbie. Unfortunately, he learns the wrong lesson from capitalism. He finds out men are in charge, and wants that for Barbie land. What his take away should have been however, is that men and women can both hold equal power. Alan (Michael Cera) doesn't have a duplicate, therefore he knew who he was from the beginning. He has good morals and values, which gives him confidence to be the best version of himself. Meanwhile, Ken and Barbie are struggling to figure out who they are, and want to be. The dancing, choreography, and facial expressions were all done spectacularly well. The cast, including the supporting characters did a wonderful job. Gosling does an excellent job, portraying a more submissive Ken in the beginning, then more dominant, when he wants to take charge of Barbie land. Robbie's role as Barbie was much different than when she played Harley Quinn. Barbie is nice, kind, and not evil, while Harley Quinn is a criminal, who could be good from time to time. These roles show she is good at playing different parts, which will help her in the future. Not only does this movie have some funny moments, but it also has themes that are relevant to what's happening in life today. Capitalism, equality for all, female empowerment, and self-acceptance, are all things people need to know about. There is a lot of pressure on women to be perfect. Women have to go to work, which usually means getting payed less than men, taking care of the house and kids, all while looking their best, which is difficult to do all the time. Mattel hoped that Barbie would be an inspiration for women. Unfortunately, she doesn't even look like most people, Barbie is extremely skinny, which is an unrealistic standard for anyone to live up to. Along with that, the company, Mattel, and its founders aren't exactly honest people. Years after Barbie was made, Handler was found guilty of tax evasion. Barbie shows one of the reasons the WGA (Writers Guild of America) and SAG (Screen Actors Guild) are striking. They all want better pay, meanwhile the top CEO's of company's make millions a year. However, the way it should be is more equal, meet somewhere in the middle. Don't pay people so little they need multiple jobs to support their family, but also no one is asking to become a millionaire. Barbie is a good movie that happened to come out at the perfect time. I would encourage everyone to go see this movie. It was well cast and has multiple messages surrounding issues our society faces today.",10 The storyline of this movie is just amazing and acting is also very good. The story of this movie is too real. Acting is more than real. Superb movie.,9 "I love this tv show and so will you!! If you like mysteries and and unusual things I love how each episode is a piece of the puzzle that eventually comes down to what the answer is.. amazing tv show.",8 "I mean the movie was actually quite good and watchable. But what was the ending? That was totally random and has nothing to do with the main plot... the ending on his own was a 0/10. The start was good and the middle part was entertaining. Daniel Craig as the detective as in the first movie is also very good. The riddle itself was a normal murder mystery concept. The plot twist was meh. It had potential and I expected a wow moment but the final answer to the riddle wasnt very amazing. In conclusion it would be better if the ending would fit within the story. The plot twist could have been more creative.",6 "'Monica O My Darling' a 'mystery' is a must watch. The character Monica is established to be the real darling that your mind could not think of. The twists & turns are so inventive. It keeps you engaged and the moment you think, he or she is the murderer, then you are proved wrong. The direction and editing is done with perfection. The acting of Raj Kumar Rao is Usual. However, Huma Qureshi delivers at her best and the supporting actors have played their part flawlessly. All the credit goes to background score which keeps movie enhancing and never failed to give sensational touch for the audience.",8 "I have just seen the pilot yet, and I am absolutely impressed. Charlie Cox is a wonderful actor, and he seems to have prepared for his role really well. Stunt Choreography was a bit raw in my opinion, but I think that's what adds to the dark feeling. There is room for humor with Charlie's law partner - Foggy and I liked to see Marvel giving it a slight touch of their lighter side. It seems to have a well planned story arc, and I am so glad it is not a procedural type superhero shows. We have had enough of that. All in all 9 on 10. Will binge watch over the next 2 days!",9 "Captain America: Civil War, stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan and a bunch of other Avengers and new faces in this emotionally driven action, drama, mystery, with a split of the team too for a very good purpose. The Russo brothers from The Winter Soldier come back to direct this masterpiece of a film and they have established themselves as one of the greatest directors in history from this film. With it's slower scenes feeling emotionally impactful and having a proper role to drive the story further and line up some of the best action sequences to date in marvel is one of the infinite things that makes this film perfect. With having the biggest cast out of any movie and the longest run time, this movie feels just like the others and that two hours and twenty-six minutes run time goes by in no time and makes you wanting more after that end credit sequence comes up. The writing by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely makes this movie the most grounded and realistic feeling film to date with it's fluent dialogue and great scene construction on paper. I honestly forgot that these were actors while watching this film because of how real they felt and the emotion in each scene. There isn't a single line of dialogue out of place in this film and making it by far the best script to date for marvel. Even the jokes that came into the film and some of the more comic relief characters made some of the most nail biting scenes funny and joyful at the most perfect times. And with it having such a big cast. It still feels like a Captain America film with the primary focus on Cap and Bucky and them finding the truth about some things. The acting is perfect, more perfect than any other film I believe in the MCU and that's thanks to Marvel casting the most perfect actors for their films and making them some of the most talked about names in history because of them. The biggest highlight for me is the sternness between Rogers and Stark in this film with some hints throughout the previous films on their possible blow up and this film uncorks that tension beautifully. And by the end I was in tears for the overall outcomes and finishing scenes showing the immediate aftermath of the events that have happened in the film. Captain America: Civil War is a flawless film with not a single problem to it between everything it has done and what is has lined up as well for future movies. Captain America: Civil War gets a 10/10",10 "Is very clear what Disney is doing. Is making episodes that are only 25 minutes or less! The end result? Save money. Each episode should be 45 minute to an hour but noooooo, disney is way to cheap for that! From now own I am happing pirating all your shows and movies. If you want my hard erned money, then make a proper show that at least 45 minutes per episode.",1 "This series is solidly mediocre, and that would be fine if it didn't pretend to be more. It shows formulaic contempt for science and inattention to detail while relying heavily on metaphysical and symbolic ...stuff. But that stuff gets lost in more stuff that's piled on top of more stuff, because so much cleverness needs to be crammed into the episodes. There's no time for the clarity and simplicity of purpose that would make Hannibal terrifying and/or likable. His motives are as convoluted as the food he makes, and we aren't allowed to know them. It's probably because neither he nor the makers of the show got that far themselves. Release comes when two characters, one of them a protagonist, go at each other in good old 007-style combat. To hell with style and culture. Now you can finally go look for another show to watch. And someone, please give the writers a book on anatomy. There is nothing on the right side of the body at waist level that can bleed out in seconds.",2 I just couldn't stomach this movie; it's more of a cartoon; no script; hero can't get hurt and keeps on wasting multiples of enemies; just really terrible,1 "First Al Pacino can not do an accent, scarface, carlitos way, you dont know jack, and now he sounds like hes from the twin cities. Next its not believable that they are young, as the movie progresses, they age, and traditional latex and movie magic works better. Why are we commited to these actors, when actual young people could have been cast. Most of the movie is mundune moments, or intpersonal moments. Nothing new more a hash of previous films. Just because this is a period piece, does not mean we need to hear this lame music. How about some b and c songs, the editing creates the pace not matching the scenes. Still would watch even if I read my own review.",5 "This is unfortunately the first boring Tarantino movie...a repeated act from DiCaprio, an absent Margot and a tolerable Pitt...10 last minutes won't save the movie...",2 "As someone who cares a lot about both Sapkowski's books and the video game series, I was anxious to see how this adaptation would turn out. I am glad to say that the end product is pretty fantastic. As most have already said, the casting for Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri is perfect. Jaskier and Calanthe are also standouts The complex storytelling and themes of the books is preserved. And when the action scenes land, they are push the boundaries of what we have seen on the screen for this genre. The cinematography and color are better than they have any right to be on a TV show. Also, the soundtrack takes cues from the games while still managing to find its own sound. In particular, episodes one and three in particular are among some of the best hours of television I have seen. A lot of comments I have hear state that these episodes were slower than the later episodes, but I think that this is because newcomers are still adjusting to the characters, lore, and timelines. If you are already familiar with the themes in ""The Lesser Evil"" or know what a Striga is, well you are likely to be blown away (though in that case you have probably already finished the season). To be fair, not everything here is perfect. While the effects in certain scenes are absolutely fantastic, this is occasionally at the expense of other other moments (Torque probably suffers the worst injustice). Likewise, the combat in some of the later episodes doesn't feel as thought out or boundary pushing as in earlier episodes. Also, while the nonlinear narrative of this season work, I think a few decisions regarding getting Geralt and Ciri to meet as well as the stand at Sodden Hill were not the best choices compared to what is in the books. These, however, may be more of my critiques as a fan of the books, and not as relevant to those who are coming to this world for the first time through the show. As I think about it though, while having a perfect first season would have been great, I remember when I played the first Witcher game many years ago it had its fair share of flaws even though I ultimately loved it and it paved the way for two superlative games. So, I am hoping that future seasons can reach 5/5 for me. All of my criticisms are pretty minor in the end, and the overall experience is faithful to its source while still finding its own voice. I am not sure how so many critics are dropping the ball so spectacularly on this show, but I just hope the positive viewer response convinces Netflix to continue to put time and help this series to grow, much like the games did.",9 "The most boring movie of them all. Never though i'd write such a thing about a J K Rowling movie, but actually the movie is so bad that some people around me fall asleep watching it. Incoherent content, the world didn't look like Harry Potter series or even Fantastic Beasts I, it's like the actors didn't watch any of the previous movies and they didn't seem to know what was the story about. We already know Dumbledore, so when you cast another actor to play Dumbledore he needs to look like him and talk like him and actually knows him.",1 I really really really wanted to like this movie until about 3/4 of the way through. Then I thought..What is the point of pretending? This movie has a plot that could be wrapped up in 30 minutes but could understandably be told in 90 minutes. Why did they need close to 3 hours? To bore the pants off everyone unless you like to watch great actors perform about nothing. Dont get me wrong...The acting was amazing by everyone. Too bad they didnt have a story to tell. It could have been really good otherwise. They didnt even need DiCaprio the majority of the movie. Brad Pitt had all the meat and potatoes of the story. Too much film was used off the cutting floor which is where it should have stayed. Too bad because i wanted to love it too.,6 I tried to watch this in a theater when it came out and fell asleep. I finally got thru it many years later. Idk I loved Interstellar thought it was fantastic but this was super boring. I should have liked it I just didn't and I can't explain why. Seems like the writers and such just tried to hard.,5 "The Apatow group makes another film which by the way isn't a stoner comedy. For me Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a more of a romance movie. It's no match for other comedies from the same group such as Superbad and is also far from being hilarious. It's indeed smart and witty at times, But the jokes in this film aren't consistent, as they were in the other films. The film's characters for the most part are all funny, such as Aldous and the Hawaiian waiters. The actors also were awesome. The film is occasionally funny and in comparison to other Apatow films it's not as good but is not bad either. My rating 6.8/10",7 "Entertaining perhaps, but I seriously disagree with those who contend that it represents Doyle's creation. I see comments saying: Holmes practiced boxing, he was adept at drawing large conclusions from small details, he was a serious dabbler in forensic science, etc. Yes, but he was not ADHD. In times of boring inactivity he resorted to cocaine for relief. Some say he had a dog, but I don't believe he had one, and certainly didn't experiment on one with anesthetics. Certain dogs figured in the stories, but they weren't his. He was not abusive to Mrs. Hudson. He sometimes expressed deep appreciation for Watson. But most of all his personality was not at all as represented by the film. His personality was most perfectly represented by Basil Rathbone, but maybe that's just too dull for people addicted to action. If Dr. Joseph Bell was the model for Holmes, then we might look to what is known of him for personality traits. http://www.siracd.com/work_bell.shtml",3 "Okay, let's get something straight from the beginning. Yes, the visuals are amazing, I get that. But this is not some Unreal Engine promo. I never expected nor wished for an outstanding plot. I say with all honesty that I went to the cinema without any expectation for plot at all. And yet, no matter how much good will I armed myself with, nothing could prepare me for the horrendousness I've just witnessed. There is absolutely nothing coherent in this movie whatsoever. There's too many characters, too many plotlines, too much stuff going on. There's too many moment that require massive narration to explain the backstories. It's just too much to handle, and nothing goes any direction. There is never a purpose, never. The characters are, for the most part, unlikeable. I could not bond/empathize with a single one of them. I should add that I am really not a big fan of film plots where all characters always make bad decisions, without exception and also without any learning outcome. The character development in this film is absolutely missing. Gone. I don't think I've ever felt so much disappointment about a film ever in my life. I am deeply disgusted.",2 "The movie is so bad. Nothing new. Same old SRK and predictable storyline. I knew what was coming and I was right. I wasted my money and I need it back. I need my money back. The storyline is boring, the acting is OK, not that good. The action scenes were OK. The directing is bad and editing is good. So much hype yet disappointing. But one thing is good about this movie, it is better than Dilwale. Wish I could go back in time and tell myself not to watch this movie. The ending was even more disappointing. Please stop making movies like this, it is destroying our Indian cinema. Hope they take the failure of this movie seriously and learn the lesson about not to make such movies in the future.",1 "Imagine that you have a technology that can change anyone's mind, that can change the course of the future. You are desperate to change your own life because you cannot see your children. But instead of using your transformative dream tech for that purpose you go to great lengths to engage in standard-issue corporate espionage. When you fail because you aren't as great as you believe, your intended victim serendipitously offers to help put everything right in your world. The apex of unbelievable contrivance topped by a literally incredible proposition. Six stars is charity.",6 This movie's script is very emotional when I saw this movie first time I have goosebumps how the angry and rude man show humanity for that dog (Charlie) 🐕 and how that cute actor dog charlie show her love for him is story of movie simply but after some time he thinks that dog have cancer and she loves ice so that man (actor) show ice to her and after looking ice dog dead this emotional ending make me cry 😢 after seeing this movie I sleep and I have dream that my dog have cancer I wake fast and seeing here and there. Very emotional story . The acting of dog is mind blowing just like a real actor. How Charlie comes in his life and make his like great Charlie makes him a good and emotional and humanity person from angry and rude person.,10 "I really enjoyed this series which not only entertained but also inspiring..i have become a great fan of tvf products...among all this is the best...NEVER GIVE UP is a single line story..naveen is excellent and his scene in supermarket and the motivation speech 👏..jithu is cool,arunabh n abhay full on comical n add the soul to this one..Excellent tvf series expect more like this one..",10 "The Acting of all actors is fabulos and specialy Amitabh Bachchan sir. And all junior actors. The story and direction of the film is great. All over the film is great. Thank you - Nagraj Manjule sir for this super film.",10 "A spy movie of best quality. This the true entertainment, real art.",10 "It's good but if you've watched a lot of similar tv shows it's not as good as them. I wouldn't say it is as good as people make it out to be, however if this is your genre then I would definitely recommend you to check it out!",6 "What a disappointing, totally unconvincing and bizarre film. A tragic missed opportunity to tell one of the most dramatic stories in history - the escape of an entire army with only hours to spare from one of the most brutal and frightening enemies of all time. Anyone with even the most basic knowledge of Dunkirk will see that the scenes in the film bear very little resemblance to the real events. In this film Dunkirk town appears without damage, the evacuating army is miniscule and the German air attacks laughable. Just look at any of the real film or photos of the Dunkirk operation on the internet and you will see the contrast. For that matter look at any of the combat scenes in, say, Band of Brothers, to see the contrast also. I was left totally disinterested in what was going on and was skipping forward through the film to get to the end. I would recommend that you watch the 1958 film of the same name with John Mills if you want to see a tense and realistic portrayal of the evacuation.",1 "I give this series rate 6 but only for season 1 and 2. As it used to be with other titles the same situation is here, season 1 and 2 with really good story, action on quite higl level, but... Yes, but the last season was made only for cash (it's my personal opinion of course). The story is terrible, seems like someone was forced to write a story but basically didn't have a good idea for it. I'm watching this but without fascination, and honeslty I can't wait I'm done with this (last episod left).",7 This movie goes around a cop looking for a psychotic killer. Completely engages 2.5 hrs of your time. There is no downs in the movie. Ghibran is the hero actually. He nailed BGM completely. Remember this is not a ghost movie but it's scary throughout. Both first and second half is speeding. No dull moment. Completely worth the movie.,10 "It should be manly series like the book or game, not some story for the kids - in the case of Witcher it means: a lot of sex, drinking, sexy and smart fights with monsters and so on, instead we get scenes with woman going into the shower without showing any part of body, drinking is too gentle and looks like 10 years old kids party, fights with monsters is not interesting at all.",4 "I'm really happy with how this series has continued to improve throughout . Season 1 starts a little slow, I have to say, and it was a bit of a challenge to keep watching at times during the slow bits. But the acting was very good, and especially the villain in Season 1, Wilson Fisk who is played by Vincent D'Onofrio, was brilliant. This actor has so much power, charisma and presence that he made the villain the best it could be. Season 2 really improves thanks to the introduction of Jon Bernthal as The Punisher. I love the Marvel universe with it's darker approach to the superheroes, much more gritty and real than the other colourful stuff, and much more an adult type of superhero action. Worth a try",7 I HATED IT!! I was hoping to like Adam in a serious movie but I hated him more.. why does he always bloody scream? Movie could have been decent without him in it.,2 "This is worse than expected. Bad plot, bad acting, bad script, more bad acting, bad cgi, and now the winter soldier is gay... what is the next thing? An avengers orgy?",2 "I don't understand how this movie has such high ratings. I really wanted to like this movie, but it just didn't do it for me. All the hype and it was a huge disappointment. I do like George Clooney, and I have always loved Sandra Bullock. The story was boring, acting was boring, all around boring.",3 "Season 1 was watchable but in season 2 they're all vying for an Oscar with overly dramatic acting. Absolute garbage. Please Netflix, pull this and offer proper entertainment like the shows you've inexplicably pulled, like the OA and the Messiah.",2 Just watch the last 20 minutes of the movie. It is enough. The 2.5 hours before are boring as hell,6 "As much as I enjoyed the first one and at certain level the second one as well, I found my self wondering what I was doing watching that non sens. The writing is bad, the plot is inexistant, too many dead zones in the script. I walked out from a movie twice in my life, that was the third one",2 "Tried to like it as it's so highly rated, but switched off after 20 minutes.",3 "Only preteens and oldies live in kings landing, no charisma, bad storyline. So disappointed. No political schemes, everything is predictable and feels like a cheap copy of got. All the great reviews you read here must be fake, I wont watch another episode.",5 "Such slow development. I can't believe Spielberg laid an egg, but then again, everyone has a bad day. Leading up to our decision to abort watching this movie, my wife and I had two previous pauses where we asked one another, ""Is this movie going anywhere? Is this movie as bad to you as it is to me?"" Anyway, we hung in there until the slow piano part when the painfully obvious subplot finally gets revealed to Sammy. No twists, no turns, just boring 1950s American life of a kid, his family, and his growing passion & skill for making movies, albeit home movies. Perhaps, Spielberg's own story is best told by others so that they can add juicy untruths that he's to sensitive to add himself. Hard pass this one.",5 "So, I went with great expectations to this movie. I thought the title was brilliant. Unfortuantely that was all that was brilliant. The first 1/2 hour had a few laughs and the last 1/2 hour had some poignancy. Wonder if the director fell asleep in the middle. I was irritated by the repetitive shots of the Tokyo skyline and the actress sitting on the window sill looking out. We get it! she is bored -- Do you have to bore us to?? especially when we paid good money. If it was a book, I would have skipped through most of it, unfortunately you cant really do that in a movie...",2 "TVF is creating one gem after another.... This is not a gem but it is a good series. Panchaayat leverages strengths from their characters Jitender (a.k.a) Jitu bhaiyas honesty, simplicity of the village. Good thing is Panchaayat does not dance to usual village problems that we have all seen. Rather kept is simple to day to day problems and simple village life. Whatever is there in the village is presented very much in the same way. Acting from all the actors are excellent. Why it doesnt score a 9 or 10? Because it is a very simple story, absolutely nothing is loud about the series, it is very flat. Overall verdict..... good watch and you would like another season.",8 "Can't pick if this show is the best comedy of 2021 or 'The White Lotus'. Such a glorious comeback from Sgt. Bilko! I love Steve Martin! It's the typical whodunit concept but as a comedy series. Its humor is not over-the-top, making it more realistic. I love how it captures the interest of everyone from being an internet sleuth listening to crime podcasts and to being a real-life detective. I for one am guilty of listening and watching crime casts. LOL. Selena Gomez seems stiff, I don't know if that's really part of her role. LOL. I'm glad there's more to this comedy trio in season 2. Does anyone know where can I get a tie-dye sweatshirt of Only Murders in the Building? 😄",9 Vincent D'onforio is the only reason I was able to keep watching this serial. He's awesome and actually seems to be the hero of Season 1 with the joker heroes/girl a huge unwanted hindrance to success. Season 1 episode 11 - a complete disaster.,5 "I think they could've paid more attention and time and money especially in season 2 considering there is a lot of time traveling and CGI work needed in series 2. Some of the scenes look almost filmsy due to the cheap looking production set, lighting and whathaveyous so at times it was hard to get into the atmosphere of the show because the cheap set design was distracting. Story like these need a bug budget to build a realistic world but I think the series just about barely manages that which is a shame otherwise the series in itself is ok.",10 "It was incredibly bad in a LOT of ways. The premise of the movie was great, the reason I was looking forward to it so much. So extremely corny, campy, devoid of substance. Sam Raimi really ""messed"" the bed with it. I guess that's what you get when you try to turn a Marvel movie into Evil Dead.",3 "If you're familiar with Stephen Laberge books on studies of lucid dreaming, you'll be disappointed in this movie. It takes some great ideas, mixes them with not so clever ones and deliberately confusing and frankly just boring plot and wraps it in overly serious Nolan style, which is undoubtedly style over substance. It's okay, there are great actors ensemble. Some nice visuals. Not phenomenal and surely isn't any ""masterpiece"".",6 "Just rubbish. Carrion. Despite my low expectations. I've never seen a movie so easy. Characters so boring and superficial. The story pattern is as if it consisted of random events occurring with a series of coincidences. You don't understand what happened. It's open. Neither the story nor the characters have an infrastructure. Oh, Tom Hardy. Were you the man to compromise your quality for the sake of popularity? What about Michelle Williams? Anyway, it's not worth the language.",2 "Too much boring talks. No creativity. The old Ben Stiller charm is gone. Not enough laugh. Forrest Gump is more entertaining! Hello Ben Stiller, what is your problem? It's your pride. Come down, pull your head down, remember the basics how to make a good movie man! Learn from David Lynch. Start simple. Too much money has blinded you. Tropic Thunder, a waste of money, great disappointment. I've got nothing more to add, waste of time too. Two disappointed New Zealanders who know better than Ben Stiller how to make a good movie. M + R",2 I'm just not a fan of marvel but I do like winter soldier. WandaVision feels like long division.,4 "Captain America: Civil War is a fantastic movie with a very well developed plot and a stellar cast. Just one year after Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel manage to deliver another movie that is just as big and just as bold. As we see the Avengers split sides, no one is an antagonist, we get to see both sides and determine who we think is right for ourselves, but neither are portrayed as villains, you can understand both, which I really liked, it was well written politics. The only thing I felt the film was lacking in was suspense. The last twenty minutes are very intense and somewhat traumatic, and I wish there were more moments like that. Though I love Marvel's sense of humour, there were certain scenes that I felt should have been handled in a more serious manner. I also found the Vision and Scarlet Witch underused, they are introduced in Ultron and I was looking forward to seeing them in action even more. However, their unique powers are never properly showcased, although they clearly have plans for them for future films, which is exciting. The cast shines, delivering the goods as always. Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. face off after much friction since the first Avengers, their chemistry as foes is irresistible, its very personal, like two brothers fighting. They are joined by long time members Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle and Anthony Mackie, recent additions Sebastian Stan, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany and newcomers Paul Rudd, Chadwick Boseman and Tom Holland, all shining in their roles. There may be a lot of characters and a lot to get out of the way, such as the main story and setting up future movies, but the film never manages to feel overstuffed, all thanks to the talented Russo Brothers, who will hopefully do just as well with the Infinity War. All characters have an established arch. Action packed, funny, engaging, filled with likeable characters and a fast paced story, Captain America: Civil War is one of the must see movies this summer, I would recommend it to Marvel fans and to anyone looking for a good action or adventure. Captain America and Iron Man end up splitting sides between the Avengers after a superhero initiative comes in, putting all superheroes in control of the government. Best Performance: Robert Downey Jr.",9 "Not sure what kind of television these 10 star reviewers watch but this show is 6 at best. The production is good but the plot is certainly not inventive. I am on ep 3 and am over Martin Short's annoying character. More Selena, more Bunny. Not on the edge of my seat, more like edge of sleeping.",6 "I've just finished watching the new TV series, WEDNESDAY, and thoroughly enjoyed it. From the off-kilter characters to the intricate plotlines and stunning visuals, this show exceeded my expectations. The story follows Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) as she is sent to the peculiar boarding school of Nevermore Academy. Here, she must not only learn how to control her innate psychic powers but also unravel a supernatural enigma that has haunted her family for over two decades. The show does an excellent job of balancing horror and suspense with humour and fun moments. As Wednesday navigates the strange world of Nevermore Academy, she forms unlikely friendships, solves supernatural cases, and gets closer to uncovering the truth about her family's past. Wednesday is a great show that has something for everyone. It's mysterious and spooky, but also witty and entertaining. The visuals are stunning, and the soundtrack is amazing. And Jenna Ortega's performance as Wednesday Addams is mesmerising - and holds the entire show together. I highly recommend this series to anyone looking for an original supernatural show with a unique twist. ONE FINAL NOTE: Given the benign nature of the original Addams Family TV series back in the '60s or the recent movies, parents may automatically pop their kids in front of WEDNESDAY assuming it is a kid's show. But WEDNESDAY is most certainly not a kid's show. Here in Australia, it is rated M (recommended for ages 15+). I'd personally suggest ages 12+. I encourage parents to give the series a look first before showing it to the kids so they can make an informed decision.",8 "What disappointed me was that it took inspiration of Hollywood movies: Se7en, The Silence of the Lambs, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and a Malayalam movie: Dhrishyam . The story, direction took so many aspects from this and mix it up to suit Indian version. Those who haven't watched any of these will feel Ratsasan is great and all that. But I felt it was a huge disappointment to see too many concept copies. Neither it leads a good love story, a predictable prolonged suspense, annoying starting without any purpose of him being aspiring film maker. The story jumps too many emotions just to keep people rolling on with suspense and emotions which it does multiple times. It could have been a great movieif the director stopped too much taking much plots from all these movies to tell a simple story. Though I understand why it is liked by many. Because most Indians don't watch foreign films or even Hollywood films. And it takes granted for film makers to take things from others and pick a story and fuse those elements. Acting are good in parts, but I wish they established a simple story, hold a bit to weave a nice character development of villain and antagonist to fit the story. Overall if you see movie as someone who never watched any world movies than surely it's good film but can't be called the best.",6 "This movie is offensive to the force of gravity and offensive to physics in general. It should be offensive to anyone with common sense. The film got so much acclaim, I assumed it was just off to a bad start. I kept waiting for it to develop into something that didn't suck such an unbelievable amount of Rhino--something worthy of acclaim (acclaim despite a terrible start). If I were the force of gravity, I'd want to sue for slander. At least I'd get some money back, which would be the consolation prize since I will never get those precious hours back. I'm still laughing at the reviewer who correctly commented that Wyle E. Coyote had better adherence to the laws of physics. An understatement if anything. If you are trying to decide between this movie and watching a color test-pattern for 90 minutes, go for the test pattern. At least test pattern won't make you wretch in response to insipid, predictable, unrealistic, canned dialog. Oh yeah, AND bad physics. p.s. If you're ever in space with a hot scientist astronaut in zero gravity, and your foot is snagged on space station cables, and you've got a tether between you, BABY HOLD ON TIGHT because for some reason gravity will start pulling on you (as if over a cliff).",1 "After seeing seasons 1 and 2, I can say solidly that Jon Bernthal is one of the best things that happened to Marvel since Robert Downey Jr's casting as Iron Man. The rest of the cast are good. Some better than others. The storyline involves a lot of repititive topics of Punisher being a good or a bad person, which is okay because that's the while deal with the character. But they keep forcing it onto several moments that it kills it a bit. The action and gore are everything a Punisher fan would want to see, and The Punisher himself is shockingly ruthless. HEAVY OVERKILL STUFF!!! The story becomes weaker inthe second season and the characters don't develop enough, save from Castle himself. I would give it a 10 if it had better supporting cast, but I gave it a 9 for Jon Bernthal's epic portrayal of Frank Castle.",8 "Excellent movie it was... right from the acting and a military attitude of each and everyone especially vicky kaushal and Mohit Raina ... everything was awesome .. military equipment s,various tech used.... and what was that?? the garud drone eagle like.. that was awesome man... just wowww....",10 "The film was very much appreciated. It is not saturated with fights and military themes. In moderation, there are supernatural forces that perfectly complement the plot.",8 "Even people I know who can't stand the Coen Brothers' style *love* this slyly low-key comedy-thriller. Unlike so many ""offbeat"" movies, the quirkiness of FARGO's Oscar-winning screenplay never cancels out its warmth or suspense as the Coens deftly balance clever plotting (*not* really based on a true story, as a poor disturbed Japanese woman found out when she came to the U.S. to dig up the hidden ransom money only to freeze to death trying), engaging characters, scares, poignancy, and the brothers' trademark loopy humor. Darkly hilarious as the kidnappers' bungling is, it renders the violence all the more chilling; one minute you're laughing, the next minute you're cringing over the shock of sympathetic characters meeting swift, bloody deaths. I found myself feeling terribly sorry for poor, sweet, unsuspecting Jean Lundegaard (Kristin Rudrud), her vulnerable adolescent son Scotty (Tony Denman), her wealthy father Wade (a delightfully bombastic Harve Presnell), and the other poor slobs unwittingly caught up in car salesman Jerry Lundegaard's plot to get money out of Wade by hiring two thugs to kidnap wife Jean and hold her for ransom, not factoring in the kidnappers' lack of both patience and anger management skills. Nobody plays losers like William H. Macy, and he sure deserved his Best Supporting Actor nomination for playing Jerry, who ought to have his picture in the dictionary next to the word ""inept."" Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare are letter-perfect as the loose-cannon wife-snatchers; if Buscemi isn't our generation's Peter Lorre, I don't know who is. But the heart and soul of FARGO is Frances McDormand, who truly earned her Best Actress Oscar here. Looking a bit like a young brunette Carol Burnett, McDormand is beyond superb as Marge Gunderson, the pregnant sheriff (my husband always liked the fact that FARGO doesn't include the nigh-obligatory scene of The Pregnant Heroine Suddenly Going Into Labor At The Worst Possible Time) who runs circles around the bad guys *and* her own well-meaning police force. Courteous and smart, down-to-earth yet slick, her luminous blue-green eyes never missing a thing, McDormand's Marge comes off as a warm Minnesota (is that an oxymoron? :-) female hybrid of Joe Friday and Lt. Columbo (I mean Columbo's stealth smarts, not his sloppiness :-). If you love FARGO, you owe it to yourself to own the deluxe DVD, chock full of way-cool extras too nifty and numerous to go into here -- oh, yah! :-)",10 "Absolute piece of rubbish, I'm a massive Harry Potter fan but this just seemed like it was lacking in story as a film in its own right, its enjoyable as far as special effects go and to expand the lore of the Harry Potter franchise but that's it. This film seems as if it'd be good if you were to do a fantastic beast's marathon when all of the films are out. As far as I'm concerned this is just a filler film and honestly quite forgettable.",4 "Very strong first season.... and it should have stopped there. Season 2 was at least watchable, but in the middle of the 3rd I quit.",4 "Let's start with their budget: around 4.5m Australian Dollars. Not much for a movie...even less for a so-called ""horror"" movie. It's not really a horror. I've also inflated the score by yet another star simply because of the trash that is being made these days that people are rating highly - like Damsel, for example. This one deserves a higher rating than Damsel without question. Anyway, back to this movie. It was nice to see something that was not over the top in ANY way, not run-time, not over-acted, not over-CGI'd. The storyline itself isn't all that different from what we've all seen before, let's be honest. It was fairly predictable for some parts too. There were a couple of really excellent moments though. Right in the beginning, and then towards the end. Literally 2 moments, but good ones. I liked this movie more because of the terrible quality of the horror genre these days but I applaud these youtubers who took a chance and created something more along the lines of what we want in ""horror"" films. It just wasn't scary in the slightest :(",9 Socialist garbage pushing an agenda. This show had such good potential and the casting and social programming ruined it.,3 "Excellent Action (8/10) Very Interesting Plot ( 8/10) A smart end (7/10) From artistic point of view : Yes , we have seen it many times before (4/10) Actor performances : Excellent 8/10 ( Sandra Bulock 8 , John Malcovich 8) Effective direction : 7/10",7 "Call me a ""Thor - The Dark World"" apologist if you like, but for me, the worst film in the MCU is probably this slightly ill-fitting sequel to the one that started it all. I should say, that even though I do still think it's the worst film in the series, it's not actually all that bad, but it feels a long way away from where we'd be just a few years later. Having declared himself Iron Man to the world, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) faces criticism from his government that his suit is a weapon he wealds without oversight and should be handed over to the army. Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) has a vendetta against the Stark's since his father helped develop the initial arc reactor but was then disavowed and exiled. Creating his own arc reactor and powerful whip weapons, Vanko is narrowly defeated by Iron Man, but Stark's professional rival Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) sees an opportunity to one up his bitter competitor, he breaks him out of prison. Again, there is much setup in this film, Scarlett Johansson debuts as ""Natalie Rushman"" in a role that owes slightly more to ""the male gaze"" than I really remembered. Eventually though she suits up and we see something of what Black Widow would become. James Rhodes gets his suit. John Slattery takes over the role of Howard Stark, Garry Shandling makes the first of a couple of key appearances as Senator Stern. Kate Mara has a tiny role as a US Marshal which feels like it really ought to pay back into the MCU again somehow. The problem with the film is that it sags massively in the middle. Once the Monaco scene is over, it's almost entirely talking until the final fight, which is somehow both long and underwhelming, given how easily Ironman and War Machine despatch the drone army. I do like a lot of that talking, some of it, like the sitting in the doughnut bit has become iconic, but it's noticeable that my son (whose 10) struggled a lot more with this film than he did with the first one. Marvel's worst film is better than a lot of people could manage at their best, but it does feel like this was just a bit before Feige really nailed down the formula.",6 It's just awful made for some specific audience only doesn't give society any lessson just trash don't easte your time watching this junk,1 "Way to go. Yet more superheros.. do we really need this? It's not even interesting anymore. Underthought and overdone, like most american tv. I guess all these superhero shows are aimed at a different generation.. I just don't see the interest. I gather in a few years they will just do away with dialog and use meme pictures to try and explain what's going on in the movie.",1 "Its probably a bit of a problem to give this a new spin but Marvel could have been doing better than recycling the old bits and mixing in a bit of the rest of the universe ... feels utterly driven by Marvels desire to cross pollinate hero's and different 'universes' at all cost. The story line is a repeat and i see why hardcoded Spiderman fans must like the movie - but it does feel a little lazy scripting not taking any risks and instead hitting the replay button an awful lot.",3 "Dull and lifeless, no matter how many musical numbers or bright colors you put into it.Bland performances by Gosling and (unfortunately) Stone. Pasek & Paul have never been a top tier songwriting team, much as Hollywood wants them to be. If you're interested in 2 hours of Seb white mansplaining jazz, I guess you'll have fun. I'm going to go watch ""An American in Paris"".",3 "This seventh of the Harry Potter books transferred to the big screen continued the darker and more grown up phase of the development of the story. Unfotunately Harry Potter has been on the go for so long now with such long breaks between film instalments of the book that there is a feeling that it is being deliberately spun out just to keep the revenue stream for as long as possible. Harry Potter was unique and wonderful when it first appeared but I feel it is past its sell by date and remembering how it all started is a dim and distant memory. This episode has nothing to do with Hogworts School, the young (actually not so young now) wizards have left school and are seeking to destroy things called horcruxes which will in turn destroy the power of the dark lord Voldemort. This episode in the long epic story sees the final book being split into two parts, so we'll have to wait yet another year for the concluding part! There were long boring parts in which very little happened - the silent parts in a busy auditorium resulted in hearing all the distracting sounds of sweet papers rustling, people talking and other distractions which normal film sound tracks would have masked. Cannot help but feel the movie makers are deliberately spinning this out and much of this episode could easily have been condensed without losing the plot. Having said that it did contain much of the HP wizardry and the unique JK Rowling formula that has created the Harry Potter phenomenon over the last decade. I think it should really have run its course by now however.",6 "Just completed watching the first season of Daredevil and it left a very positive impact on me(Mind you it is way better than the movie of Ben Affleck). First season features on making of the Blind Vigilante. How all it happened and why did he choose this path. Acting is top notch by Charlie Cox(Daredevil) like it comes him as natural portraying the role. Action scenes are very well choreographed with great stunts in it. There is right amount of emotions which drives the story and keeps it intact. I would recommend to all who are searching for some fast pace action and crime series. My Rating 8.5/10(keeping 1.5 for coming seasons).",9 "I had a couple of hour this t before the family gets up. Just saw the gray man which I enjoyed so I have this a go. How bad could it be with a big budget, good actors and a receptive audience. I'm not generally the picky type but I stopped watching this after 40 minutes. The scenes are high quality and full of action. But nothing makes any sense. Massive plot holes and discontinuities everywhere. Not sure who is responsible for this mess (script, editing, director) but that person should realize that they have no talent whatsoever. And apparently no understanding of how anything works. Ludicrous. Whoever invested in this movie should seriously reconsider ever working with this crew again. What a useless waste.",5 "Henry Cavill's performance is excellent. He is maybe a bit too muscular, but that is not a problem. I just can't get past the fact that the creators of the show spat on European culture with the casting... Yes, there are mythical creatures. Yes this is a fantasy world. But it is a fantasy world based on Eastern European culture. People of color are present in some regions (Ofir for example), but are rare on the Continent. And as racism is so important in the Witcher's world, how can they casually have a multicultural society in the show ? Why not introduce new characters from Zerrikania or Ofir ? Why destroy established characters and their future arcs ? It breaks the immersion if you know at least a bit about the lore.",4 I finally realized what they were all looking at that made them commit suicide. They were looking at this movie.,5 "Stephen Chow really knows how to leave the viewer satisfied at the end of every movie he makes. From Shaolin Soccer's sporty zaniness, to the heartwarming theme in CJ7. Yet Kung Fu Hustle is a real package of absolute delight! Every character has their own sense of cartoonish individuality, from Sing's bumbling to the screaming landlady (I crack up every time she does her signature scream), you're sure to have a good time. I wouldn't recommend it to young children since it is bloody and profane, but when they're older they'll certainly get a kick out of it. The sense of invention is in every shot taken and once you get started you don't want to stop watching!",10 I'm going to make this review short and sweet. The actors here did their best to tell the story and sing the story of PT Barnum. My problem with this production is they used music from our time now (the style) for times that were happening in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Why not use period music? Totally didn't get that. Even when Jenny Lind sang... she was supposed to sing opera music...she sang a pop flavored ditty. The music did not work...at all. Acting was good and above par...but whoever figured music styles from now would fit into a story back then...,4 "Beautiful cgi and decent voice actors however the movie has literally no soul. The animals all looked beautiful but carried no expressions nor emotions whatsoever, which really hurt and diminished the story and its events. Absolute realism doesn't suit this movie since it has the exact same plot as the original, which was strongly based on emotions. Jon Favreau really should start directing wildlife documentaries though",3 "After watching the first two episodes of the Witcher, it got me hooked, so hooked I went out and bought the Witcher game to try and learn some more back story. If you are a fantasy fan the Witcher has everything for you, incredible sword fights, monsters, witches and great lore. There is nothing I can say bad about the show. Don't listen to critics. With the foundation set out by season 1, I have high hope for an action packed lore filled season 2.",9 "I'm a Marvel and Spiderman fan, but this movie was actually borring. Ratings of 10 are just as wrong as the many 1's. This is an objective 6. And I'm angry that I was fooled to watch it.",6 "I binged every single season over the span of four days. One thing, that got me really annoyed was four parralel story lines, working towards the same thing, not together. Same research being done four times, always from a different angle, this behavior repeated every season. The evolution of the story was definitely a love and hate thing at the same time. Same goes for the theme. Netflix has this weird behavior, where it does one theme, per season of the series. I have no idea who came up with that monothemaism, but it frankly gets boring, when you recognize the revelation from miles away. I'm sad actually, because this story did not hit me hard enough. Because the music was perfect, camera work - amazing, I love how they started out almost indie, with all the possible things practical in the first season, then slowly expanded. From the actors/extras, to the crew(s) and filming locations. The cast did amazing work, I've heard they wrote the actual script for this cast, not the other way around, like it's usually done. I appreciated it. Made everything fit so nicely. One letdown was that in season four, with that vfx budgets they spat out a ragdoll with a kinect 3d scan and basic maya od 3ds max simulation. Have no idea what happened there. Served such an essential part to the emotion of the story, yet the sucky vfx in these parts pulled me out of it completely. Let's talk episode length. Who on earth thought having the last season twice the runtime of the previous one would be of any good? Yes, they add separate side themes, each group's solving by themselves, but go way too much into detail somewhere, then completely omit some... Overall I was happy to kill my time with this series, but also sad because I wanted it to make me emotional. 3/5 and I'm waiting for the fifth season.",6 "I am not familiar with the books, i barley played one of the games so I cannot speak on behalf of hardcore Witcher fans, but I absolutely loved it! Very good actors and a surprisingly good first season budget that makes the show as good as it is. I've always liked Henry Cavill and had faith in him and he delivered. In my personal opinion, which I probably know others will strongly disagree, The Witcher is my favorite show Netflix produced and I like it a lot more than Stranger Things.",7 Worth watching. Keeps you engrossed throughout. Of course you need brains to connect with the story.,8 "For years, I made fun of everyone who was a fan of this show. Then, I watched the first season. Then, the next. And then the next. And now I'm hooked for season four. So what makes it good? The duality of the world, a good and evil, is represented in a creative and unusual way. While characters act in ways that make no sense and the evil is often defeated too easily, I'm still entertained by the sometimes terrifying scenes, goofiness of the children and parents, and the struggle for everyone to remain sane as their world crumbles with every season. Some characters get a little boring and repetitive as the show goes on, but overall, I would recommend this show if you like medium horror with an interesting plot.",8 A great watch for one time only. I'd rather recommend you to see the documentary by History TV18. Here some parts were completely wrong but was a good movie.,10 "Shocking movie The characters are similar to comedy characters in films from The mid to late 90s Found myself on my phone more and more as this movie dragged on. Weak story line, I even found their surname annoying ""Spits"" ishhh.",3 "PROS I loved the pacing, editing, cinematography, musical score, and all the other technical aspects of the storytelling. All of the actors were top-notch. While, I think Terrence Howard looks more like Rhodey than Don Cheadle, Don was better at acting the part. My GF, pointed out well for me. They both played various aspects of the character perfectly, and if you could combine the two performances, you'd get the perfect Rhodes. Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko was GREAT! This movie combined elements of Whiplash and Crimson Dynamo into one villain. And I was so glad to see them do it well. Especially the Dynamo suit Rourke wears. The other actors/actresses did as well as they did in the first movie. RDJ was perfect yet again, but more-so. Dealing with his ""illness"" and his alcoholism, and semi-depression. And all the stuff with his father. They beefed up Fury's involvement, which was very cool, and necessary to the plot this time. The character interactions, the action, the dialogue, the comedic timing of the humor was all top-notch. AND THE ENDING! Stay for after the credits!! I was so happy! It was the perfect set-up for future entries in the Marvel Movie Universe. CONS Scarlett Johansson LOOKED the part. But she was way too ""nice"", and not hard-edged enough for her role, and I understand that it's PG-13, but she NEVER USED HER GUNS. And NO ACCENT. Come on folks.. she's Russian. Mickey Rourke affected an accent and learned to speak some Russian, and INSISTED on speaking Russian during the movie. COME ON! Justin Hammer was written wrong. He was funny, and offered great entertainment. But he's supposed to a sort of secret underworld crime-boss and a devious evil mastermind, of sorts. Not a fidgety, goofy bad-guy wannabe that gets caught. The final battle was over way too Fast! It was easily one of the shortest face-offs I've ever seen in a movie. His attack drones got a longer fight than him! WTF!? CONCLUSION I LOVED everything else about this movie, except for the few complaints I listed. But because I had complaints, I can't give it a perfect score. Still, one of the very best comic book movie adaptations to date. And one of the best movies I've seen, in its own right as well. Great stuff! Overall, I'd have to give it a 9 out of 10. Not perfect, but damn close.",8 "At least I got to episode 4, you can't say I didn't try. The problem that I have with it is the characters, they are rude, obnoxious, toxic personalities. I thought it was just me, that I must be in a critical mood so I checked out these reviews and sure enough plenty of other people felt that these were the most unlikable family. I felt that if I had the misfortune to be lost in space with this family then I would just pack my things and take my chances on my own. That being said I have to wonder why the writers have made the main characters this way? I don;t mind too much the scientific inaccuracies or acting/plot issues but if the characters are unlikable why watch any more?",1 "When you first start watching this show, you think what kind of cheesy Sci-fi nonsense have I signed up for? Where are all the Avengers!? BUT if you are patient and stick it out past the first season, you are in for some of the BEST TV you've possibly seen and definitely in the Sci-fi/Superhero genres!! This show only gets better as it goes on, and the last 2 seasons are especially gripping and exciting! I literally binge-watched the last season in under 48 hours. I'm really sad I've finished it now, but I am SO HAPPY I watched it. Great ending to a GREAT SHOW!! I cannot recommend enough!! ENJOYYYYY!!!",9 I don't understand why there was so much attention given to this movie. It made me watch with my son and we both didn't like it. I'm not a fan of Adam sandler and this didn't help. His voice was the most annoying part of the movie. Title had little to do with the movie. Ending was the saving grace as it was unexpected. But didn't do enough to save this movie. Not a thriller. Not suspenseful at all. Just a waste of time. Boo all the way. I was being friendly with a 2 just because of the last moments of the movie. Barf city,2 "The GOOD reviews must be coming from ASIA which is obviously who produced this movie The fact they chose a leading support actor that's from Pakistan only adds to the total IMBALANCE of this film. Nothing fits. Nothing is smooth, and it has no chemistry. Within minutes you realize something is very OFF. What's 'off' (in my opinion) is that entertainment STYLE and sense of humor does not always translate through to people from different countries and cultures. What you have here is, a fair attempt at an 'alien on earth' drama with a great leading man, trying his very best to work with a sub standard script, which includes humor that North American audiences will NOT find funny (just horribly corny) During the last part of the movie I just started surfing the net, because it was too predictable (and just cheap) Ultimately the villains in this film reach out and grab you JUST LIKE GODZILLA and it's enemy, (what-ever-its-name-was.) If you WANT to LIKE this movie, I suggest you have a few alcoholic beverages first. LASTLY, don't think I'm biased or anything. I've watched movies with nothing but subtitles and loved them INCLUDING some Jackie Chan ones that barely got shown in North America. This poor movie VENOM, just doesn't measure up. Maybe the target audience is PG 13 and I'm all wrong?",4 "I'm 44 and don't remember another show that was overrated as much as this is!! Based on its IMDB rating, I was under the impression that Last of Us is the next thing and I waited for weeks in order to watch the entire season. What I got in return was that another post-apocalyptic journey that was artificially extended just to tell a story which basically can be told merely in 2 episodes! I could notice nothing original, nothing untold or not done in the whole season! There are many shows streaming now that are -I'm not exaggerating- at least twice as better than this show. What a disappointment and letdown!",6 "The original Lion King is a timeless classic and it will be rememberd long after we are all dead and gone. We never asked new version but we got one anyway, and Disney made a huge profit cause of our naivety. As long as we keep paying, Disney will keep throwing these soulless remakes at us. We let them get away with this.. We only have ourselves to blame.",2 "Well! There are lots of good things about the film worth mentioning: VFX, lines, cinematography etc. Even the story itself was kind of good. However, the film was overwhelmed with PC and diversity factors and principals. And because of that the film has no soul ... seems something missing or something was no right! I am wondering if PC and Diversity ever stop ruining movies? It seems they won't stop unless they have already ruined and/or spoiled all the heroes we have had for decades.",4 I can't understand the fairness of Marvel fans. There is no worse blind than the one who does not want to see. An average series nothing wow.,5 "O John Nash's story should be more widely known; however, I think dramatizing and over-exaggerating these biopics does more harm than good. The life portrayed is no doubt interesting, but there is a Hollywood tendency to latch too much on the other aspects of a film in order to draw in the less focussed viewer. Russell Crowe does his bit to rescue this production as the star, and Connelly, Harris and Bettany are also excellent, but their scripts allow only so much scope for personal talent to shine. It is also worth noting that this movie is so late 90s/early 00s in its style that its slightly laughable at points. There is a soft light filter over the entire film, and the music is dramatic to say the least. The origin of the story is good-natured (and Crowe does do an excellent job as Nash), but by the end, I wondered what the real Nash would have thought of his life story's trivialisation.",6 "Over all the movie ended up being ok, in spite of the fact it could have been great. But as anyone who's familiar with Jerry Bruckheimer movies knows, lots of scenes ended up being over dramatized, over humored, grossly contrived scenarios, a lot of style with very little substance, and generally for people with low intellect and attention spans. But as someone else pointed out, it should at least be pretty fun for the kids. Johnny Depp's character, while over the top, was still pretty entertaining as a pirate who's got a screw loose, or one sandwich shy of a picnic (which in the movie seems to mean having effeminate mannerisms). All the other characters are mind numbingly cliched. The real stars of the movie, of course, are the special effects. Spectacular transition effects done almost seamlessly. So gather of the kids and head on down to the matinee. If you're an adult, you might want to have a drink first and check your IQ at the door. Trust me; you'll have a better time.",3 "I thought it was underwhelming and flat. No real drama or suspense. The character development was rushed and shallow, even over six-episode series. ""Searching for Bobby Fisher"" was a much better chess movie. Anya Taylor-Joy is a former model and she moves like one. This was based in Kentucky and she wasn't realistic. She had the same flat affect in ""The Miniaturist."" I'm not saying she's not a good actor, I just didn't find her believable.",5 "Media Hype and Crowd Behaviour!!!! While lots of research has been done on this clearly its not enough, while there are lots of other points in this movie that merit study, it quite clearly this seemingly unrelated and external factors that determine the outcome of watching this movie. Well here are some dark truths, which after saying I expect the same vicious backlash that I would get after telling any other person something he doesn't want to hear. Truth No 1 - This is hardly a Batman film, as a person who grew up seeing the original TV series and cartoons and reading the original comics, and even the original movies, I can tell you that batman was always about humour even though i may not have been a fan of the almost comic TV series, even the comics had a sense of humour about them, besides as in any comic movie the comic is always about the man in the costume. What we have a here is multi-million modern urban social crime drama, with Batman only being used as the director to indulge in a socio-urban setting which a normal budget would not have allowed him, THE ACTION SCENES ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. AND NO MATTER WHAT WHO SAYS WHAT THE F@#K HAPPENED TO THE NEO-Gothic LOOK OF GOTHAM DOWN TO THE OLD FASHIONED CARS AND PINSTRIPED SUITED CRIMINALS THAT WE HAVE ENJOYED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF BATMAN IN ALL MEDIUMS AND ACROSS ALL TIMES. Truth no 2 - This is not a movie to be watched by children even in they are accompanied by their parents, I've SPOKEN TO THE CHILDREN WHO I PLAY WITH IN THE PARK (i claim my mental age is 12 and i love children), AND EACH AND EVERYONE HATED IT, there was a time where comics were meant for children and teens,and if nothing else was at least fun for all age groups, but now its the medium for artistically inclined serious adults who want to see REAL PEOPLE WITH SUPERHUMAN POWERS. Oh please give me the superfantastical superhero of yore anyday. Truth no 3 - He may be dead but that does not mean that this is the best performance by any actor ever AND HELL EVEN IN IT IS A SINGLE STUPENDOUS PERFORMANCE Doesn't MAKE A MOVIE THE BEST MOVIE EVER at least have the common sense to the final result as the sum of all its factors. Just because the critics and the publicity managers tell you that it was the final greatest performance by a person who was disturbed enough to commit suicide doesn't mean we exhibit herd mentality and all go with the flow. It was a great performance NOT THE GREATEST EVER. truth no 4 - This movie had 2 climaxes, there were people in the theater who were ready to leave after a certain scene in the movie because they didn't know there was another character that was yet to be introduced, this movie was very very long, and that scene i waited for the movie to get over. In fact IT WAS THE LONG WAIT AFTER WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE END OF THE MOVIE THAT RUINED MOST OF THE MOVIE FOR ME. truth no 5...................... well what the hell i can go on rambling but im going to be judged anyway so im going to end here. Some truths that everyone will like. The performances from everyone were great. The background score was very good but it always sounded like the movie was climaxing instead of just moving forward. WHATEVER THE FACTS MAY BE THE END RESULT FOR ME WAS A GOOD MOVIE THAT WAS MADE LESS GOOD BY THE unnecessary hype and the coinciding herd mentality. Maybe this movie was less suited to my tastes, but at least i deserve to told what im getting into, im hoping this is like ang lees hulk that was loved by critics and their followers initially but later people realised that may be they didn't like this movie that much after all, BUT THEN AGAIN NOBODY DIED WHILE MAKING THAT MOVIE.... -s WHY SO SERIOUS?? not like the batman i expected, very long, over-hyped. +/-s not a movie for all audiences.... +s superb performances all around, good soundtrack, some memorable scenes. total 6/10 (THE PERFORMANCE (you know whose im talking about), was indeed very good but the overall product fell well below my expectations if i wanted to watch a crime drama (which i don't like much anyway since i get majorly put of by crime) i would re-watch godfather or any other such movie.GIVE THE BATMAN OF YORE ANYDAY (exlude batman and robin). ps i expect to be judged and ridiculed, so bring it on, i have my own opinions which im proud to say are based on my own tastes and not by those of drama-tragedy loving critics and crowds driven to a frenzy by media hype.",6 "Going in I really wanted to like this movie. But it comes down to the fact that all the CGI, movie making art and effort exist to tell a story and this one stinks. Avatar waists a gigantic collection of modern cinema resources on an unbelievably corny story densely packed with Hollywood/comic book stereotypes. Anyone with a mental age over 12 will be disappointed ( I have a suspicion, call it a conspiracy theory if you will, that the IMDb ratings have been manipulated by the films marketers). The only memorable character is the muscled up old Colonel Quaritch a 100% over the top militarist bad guy. An hour and a half of gee-whiz CGI and the same old cinema industry cut-paste character and story would have been tolerable -- 2hr40min too much! If the story had been less irredeemably bad the my science issues would be chalked up to necessary suspension of disbelief and product design. However: Exactly humanoid aliens in a world with all the other vertebrates hexapod? Lower gravity but falling motions look earthlike? I know you'll go see the film anyway but I can't recommend it. The trailer shows off the fantastic cinema technical effects. You see that you've seen all the good stuff of the film.",2 "Maybe the worst show Marvel has ever produced... Just waiting to watch the next maybe Trash or a good series from the same company that is falcon and the winter soldier. BTW Loki was good.",8 "Before viewing this film I had heard the previews stating it was better than the first. Now that I have seen it, I agree. That puts this first sequel in rare company -- The Godfather II, Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back and Aliens come to mind. I was never a Spiderman comic book reader but I used to watch the animated half-hour show every morning before school. Doc Ock was a large villain (well-done by Molina) but I did not remember the mind control of his prosthetic arms as portrayed in this movie. It raises very interesting questions about man-machine neural interfaces. While mind control seems far-fetched, addictive dependency does not. The special effects were great. Peter Parker's internal conflict and time-management failures living the life of your ""friendly neighborhood"" Spiderman seems to be a natural progression of his whirlwind journey into superherodom. This is a departure from Bruce Willis's character in Unbreakable who has a long awakening period to come to terms with his extraordinary powers. I was a fish on the hook being reeled in with the romantic tension between Mary Jane (Dunst) and Peter (Maguire). Some felt this was too slow for the movie development. I did not. Maguire just comes off as the quintessential Clark Kent -- no way that guy is a superhero! This is why the elevated train scene is so powerful for this movie. The foreshadowing of the third movie seems to be setting up the return of the Green Goblin. I don't think I want to see the GG by himself for the next movie. Other than King Pin, I don't remember any other arch villains of Spiderman. The Spiderman movies are johnnies come lately in the superhero comics to movies. I remember saying, ""not another one"" when it was announced. I've been won over. It continues to stand tallest in the genre. The X-men are right there as well. Catwoman is next and there is the outlook for a Superman return -- should be interesting. They have hard acts to follow.",9 "Wow. I don't get how Gravity was nominated for Best Picture. Seriously, it has all the qualities that ""professional"" critics would moan about, yet they praised it, and most reviews saying, ""It just pulls you in and it feels great to watch, the effects are mind-blowing"". Right, even though the story is boring! The scene where Clooney talks to Ryan makes zero sense. People claiming Sandra Bullock portrayed a strong-willed woman is crap as she spends most of the movie running or crying. The effects weren't even that good.",1 Stupidest thing I have seen in a long time. Not worth the time.,1 "Let me start by noting that the performances from the two lead actors and the relationship between their characters Aziraphale and Crowley was by far the most well executed and interesting aspect of this mini series. I would probably have preferred it if the whole series was them getting caught up in various historical events or philosophising about life from their respective perspectives in a biblical setting. All the other characters fell flat, from the descendant witch Anathema to Sergeant Shadwell, who loses his charm real quick. Also, the choice of featuring a group of kids at a prominent role including an 11 year old Antichrist seems questionable as the story unfolds, and ends up being laughably bad when the time comes for the characters to fulfill their purpose. You'll see. Apart from that, the ending is a big fault. I will shortly discuss it in this paragraph, so skip it if you don't want to know any details about it. It doesn't work because the threat that is being built up for the duration of the series gets disposed of VERY quickly and easily, and then the actual ending is based on the fate of certain characters. Done with that whole ""world ending"" thing, now lets see if this and that person makes it through to the end! Reminded me of the disappointing ending of another series... I would also like to point out that even though it keeps a light tone throughout, a fair amount of really cringeworthy moments grace the screen, and it gets a bit heavy-handed with some messages. For example, an 11-year old girl will lecture you on the destructive effects of patriarchy more than once. I think that the subtler choice of having a female God and Beelzebub was a better execution of the same message. So, overall, it starts off nicely and has its moments, but falls apart right as the final act is starting, and thus ends up overstaying its welcome even though it is only 6 episodes long. I liked episodes 1 and 3 the most and thought that the last one was a chore to get through. I leave this review because I find that Good Omens' commercial power and the positive reviews that lured me in do not correspond to its quality and would only recommend it if you have spare time and would watch anything remotely entertaining to spend it.",5 "Recently I have been watching the entire series for the first time and I have to say I enjoyed all the previous films. The 6th one though left a strange feeling that Rowling was running out of ideas and much of the good stuff was substituted with typical romance. I hoped something was stored for the final story but nope, a big disappointment here. The film feels like a really bad soap opera you are wishing to finally end but can't turn off because you are too much invested into the story. There is almost nothing to keep you entertained, the dialogues are especially lacking and there are lots of them. At the end I even started losing my sympathies towards the three heroes watching them running away from a mere gang of bandits (all of whom got disarmed by a single witch later) and even failing to do that. I mean come on, you are going to kill the almighty Voldemort and can't even stand up against those? And the elf being killed was the final nail in the film's coffin, so predictable and so cheap. If you value your time, just read the plot on the internet and move on.",4 "This is a show that does a lot of interesting things in the marvel universe. It explores the more behind the scenes of a world that has known about super powers and alien tech for decades. Some seasons are noticeably better or worse than others and it is not a gradual decline or increase in quality, so it is better to keep watching, if you don't like a season skip it over for the next. I personally thought season 3 was the worst and and 5 the second worst, though 5 was mostly for the tone and lighting. Season 5 suffers from being poorly lit, it may be they were trying to get across just how hopeless the situation they were in was, but I just wound up being unable to see much of what was going on. I know they did it on purpose and it wasn't just incompetence from the crew because there are some scenes which are very well lit and quite beautiful to see, but only in two or 3 episodes and then only briefly. It didn't help that season 5 seemed to drag on and take itself too seriously, something the show tends to do too often, sci-fi and super heroes don't need to be comically light hearted but I do prefer more of the excitement and entertainment rather than relentless drama depicted in this series.",9 """Rise of the Planet of the Apes"" is a standard franchise reboot, mildly entertaining if predictable. The motion capture for Andy Serkis's performance as the chimpanzee Caesar is more impressive than the rest of the CGI, which tends to vary in realistic motion and weight with the real environment. Moreover, Serkis and his ape army are more compelling than the society of naked apes here, as led by a bland James Franco as a scientist. His relationship with his Alzheimer's-afflicted father is more formulaic than interesting, as if he needs this personal connection to be working on a cure for the disease. His girlfriend is an even more pointless character. By comparison, at least the humans who are cruel to the caged apes incite an emotional response, as we root against them in favor of Caesar and his followers. There might have been an opportunity here for a metaphor on what it means to be human, between the various primates and between live-action actors and the motion-capture ones, but the Homo-sapien characters here are too boring to make for effective contrast. Largely, this comes across as an exercise in setting up subsequent movies at the sake of an interesting, self-contained picture. Viewers familiar with the prior Planet of the Apes series, or other media, will recognize the point of the spaceship launch, the virus spread and such in that vein, and the ""bright eyes"" and ""dirty ape"" references. It's a blockbuster that meets limited expectations, so it's not surprising that it was successful at the box office.",5 "If you like mass killings with no plot, enjoy. Crap compared to the first movie. Waste of time.",2 "This movie is not totally stupid. It has an intro scene (which is stupid), intro credits, a movie (which is stupid), and a marketing campaign surrounding it (which is stupid). More specifically the music is not stupid, but plot, characters, dialogue and car chasing scenes in Rome are. Overall, it's just so stupid, it hurts the brain. And the heart.it also has train action scenes. Which are mostly stupid. And subplots which are 100% stupid. But the color of the writing in the movie poster isn't. So overall, so very very stupid, but highlights are music and train scenes. The are probably more stupid movies out there. But they can't be many.",2 "I'm afraid I'm a bit confused. I saw ""Inception"" last night. I had high expectations based on miles of positive ink from reviewers and professional critics, all tripping over themselves to bestow demigod status upon Christopher Nolan. These expectations were dashed to bits within the first thirty minutes of the film, and turned to a kind of dread as I realized what folks these days will accept as ""depth"" in their entertainment. I wish I'd never seen those gushing reviews, I would've enjoyed the film much more. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Christopher Nolan's Batman reboots ""Batman Begins"" and ""The Dark Knight."" For my money, those were without a doubt the second and third most effective superhero movies to date (sorry, Raimi wins.) The man certainly knows how to keep a story moving along, and he knows how to film action. In the case of The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger provided an emotional lynchpin non-pareil in his Joker portrait, and Nolan milked it for all it was worth. There was real pathos and genuine mortal horror built into the foundation of the film's impressive structure. Also, the fact that it was based on a comic book lowered the bar and allowed the audience to suspend just enough disbelief to allow most of the dorky plot elements to slip through and do their work. Now let's discuss obvious comparisons to an earlier effort in this vein—that is, an action movie dolled up to the nines as philosophical treatise. I'll admit that I was never a fan of The Matrix. I thought it was asinine in conception and brutish in execution, even as I admired some of the visual effects and spectacular stunt work. Comparing The Matrix's ridiculous endless ""stream-of-consciousness"" gibberish about free will with, say, Roy Batty's laconic final soliloquy in Blade Runner, is like comparing the Twilight series' moronic teen romantic angst with David Foster Wallace. Unfortunately, Inception had precisely the same effect on me, which is to say very little. Here we find the great and terrible Nolan exploring the tired territory already plundered in countless films of yore, including Hitchcock's Spellbound and 1980's genre pics such as Brain Storm, The Dead Zone, and Dreamscape. The basic premise reads like a dime store sci-fi novel's back cover: ""In the future, we can enter into each other's dreams! Feel the magic of dreams, within dreams, within dreams! Experience the thrill and wonder of miraculous ""Dream Time™."" Oh Boy!"" Within twenty minutes of the film's somewhat intriguing intro, I knew not only how it would end—I also pretty much knew how we were getting there. Nolan plays primarily to the back row, and—no offense, America—but we've been slightly dumbed down over the past few decades, and we're much easier as a whole to entertain than we used to be. Look back at a few films of the past with vast, labyrinthine plot structures like Hawk and Faulkner's ""The Big Sleep"", or practically anything by the Coen Brothers. What's defines their deep-impact gravitas, as opposed to the flat and diffuse emotional landscape of Inception? It's character development, pure and simple. In this case, Nolan didn't have a single character —especially the one played with typically earnest gusto by Leo Dicaprio—with a plausibly human fatal flaw, foible, or reason for doing… uh, whatever it was he was doing. We're simply dropped into an alternate universe with rules seemingly invented to favor nerds of any stripe —almost impossibly similar to the one in The Matrix—and told to hold onto our hats, because here… we… go! Except we're not actually GOING anywhere, or at least not anywhere we haven't been a thousand times before. Sorry to rain on the parade of everyone that's ready to lionize C. Nolan as the great white hope of modern blockbuster cinema, but from my vantage, there is no there there. If you want a lesson in basic existential philosophy, take a class at your local community college. You'll get more out of it, and you can keep your textbook as a souvenir. If it's great car chases you're after, rent ""The French Connection,"" or ""Ronin."" In other words, keep your high-octane action movie out of my high-concept art film. These are two tastes that do not go great together. Meanwhile, if Inception somehow does ""become a religion"" in another five years, than I'm reconsidering my continued faith in Hollywood as some kind of egalitarian oracle, where the huddled masses can go to get their myths, and feel the true power of redemption. If this is the kind of movie that will be worshipped from now on, than the god of blockbuster cinema may truly be dead.",7 Barely managed to watch the first episode and just hoovered over the remaining ones. What the hell is this???!!!...what happened to the MCU? And i thought that Loki was bad when this is miles off charts. Disney managed to screw it all up what has been previously built in over a decade. Shame!,1 I've seen this movie a couple times. I'm just wondering if anyone thinks that DiCaprio's character needs to see a medical doctor.,6 "I got tickets to an advanced screening of the movie Alpha through Sony and to sum things up, it is a complete snooze fest. Alpha is one of those movies where the trailer is better than the actual film. At first, glance, watching the trailer, I was initially interested in this film because it seemed like there was a lot of action and who doesn't love a cute canine? The movie is about a young boy, Keda and his family of nomads who live 20,000 years ago in Europe. During a hunting trip, Keda is separated from his family and spends the remainder of the film trying to get reunited with his family with the help of his newly acquired wolf that he names Alpha. The pacing was very, very slow. Things don't start to ""pick up"" until about halfway into the movie when Keda is separated and has to fend for himself. The first half is about his interactions with his family, but even those interactions, didn't captivate me. I thought that the dialogue didn't add anything to the plot or make me like any of the characters. Every scene just felt like things happening and not scenes building towards something. One thing that I did hate was the cinematography and the direction. So often there were shots where the camera was constantly moving. The camera would pan so much that sometimes I had to close my eyes because I was getting motion sickness. The movie does have very beautiful shots of scenery and neat special effects, but to me, these shots felt like the director's way of making up for a poorly written script. Overall it was an okay, movie. I'd give it a 4/10. You can probably wait for this one to come onto Netflix.",4 "It seems likely that La La Land is going to continue to pick up a rack of wins during the award season. This alone makes it worth watching as you can either agree or disagree with the awards panels around the globe. For those people who don't know it is a musical that harks back to the classical musicals of the mid 20th century. The main storyline of the movie is the relationship between Mia (Emma Stone) and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling). To be fair the two leads throw themselves into the movie and there is certainly chemistry between them. To be honest there was probably less music and dance than I expected. The movie is a little too sweet for my tastes and I didn't especially care about what happened to any of the characters. Anyway you need to see the film and see what you think as there's no doubt that a lot of other people rate it extremely highly.",5 "1. A first episode and it is already shaping up to be a really good show. Not without some very minor problems however. Though I'm not going to rate the series yet based on one episode. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like WV or FATWS and keeps up the high quality. Also Loki(character) is the GOAT. 2. The second episode is even better than the first! It pretty much did what episode one did and improved it. I noticed the dialogue was way smoother and wittier. And Tom's acting is phenomenal. Loving where this series is going. 3. Yes the third episode definitely downgraded in quality but giving the whole series a 1 based on that one episode is stupid. The dialogue was not good in this episode and I'm not a fan of the female Loki. But hopefully the fourth episode gets back on track. 4. Marvel you have redeemed yourselves! Way better episode than the last one, well, better than all the episodes so far. So many twists and surprises. Really excited for next episode. 5. Not my favorite episode so far but it is still really good. To me the quality was just like the 2nd episode with a couple better things going it's way. Can't wait for the finale! 6. It's a really good episode but not the greatest finale. I just wished they wrapped some things up a little better, but there is going to be a season 2! Well at least there wasn't some stupid CGI battle. Okay, overall the series is a fun time and very interesting. It can be a bit confusing to some people, but once you understand everything it's a very entertaining show. Loki(character) is phenomenal. However, he's really the only character I got attached to. Sometimes the dialogue is really good, sometimes it is very subpar. The music is really good and matches the vibe of the show. Overall I really enjoyed this series despite the few flaws and I definitely recommend this show to any Marvel fans. Overall rating: 8.3/10.",8 "The movie itself is filled with adrenaline rush, and crazy action fighting scene, with a very special and unique way of pirring clips together making hundred of clips looking like one clip in total. These type of angels they record with makes the movie so much more realistic and makes the movie so much better. Whats ruins everything for the movie is the ending. It's actually insane, I'm not going to spoil anything, but you're going to love everything but till the end, where you're going to be left with hatred and confusion.",6 I have learned not to trust IMDb Reviews! Nothing wrong with this series its a lot of fun and something fun to watch on the weekend . Can't wait for more seasons.,9 "This clearly is an overrated show after the Money Heist madnesss. This is a simple story with not so high production values, and there were hardly any goosebumps moments to rate this show any higher than one star.",1 "This show has: 1. Very clever humor that sometimes makes me think before I get it 2) A mix of characters that shouldn't work but absolutely does 3) Constant surprises and twists 4) Amazing guest stars 5) Fun and intertwined storylines 6) Mrs. Gambolini! My husband and I were hooked from the first episode. We watch it as intensely as the show characters follow their podcast. Thank heavens there is now season three! My husband and son are involved in barbershop style singing, and we were on the floor laughing at the yodelshop - so funny and clever. The show is a fun escape from the worries of life, and we look forward to every new episode, as well as re-watching previous ones. We hope the series continues for many years.",10 "For a long time I was reluctant to see this film until I learned that it was a parody; at that point, knowing something of the story line, I happily went along. The film gives us a good look at Steve Buscemi, but Frances McDormand simply IS the movie. Without this sweet, soft-spoken and quite pregnant protagonist with an accent all too germane for that part of the US (and well done, too !), this story would go nowhere in a hurry. She is to this film what Gloria Stuart is to ''Titanic''. It took a lot to win-out over the heavy-duty competition in ''Secrets & Lies'', but McDormand took home the Oscar (''Best Actress''). Now, can she repeat it sometime? Buscemi has gone on to give us some super performances since. Enjoy it while NOT taking the film too seriously (rating = 4 stars of 5).",8 "It was never going to be as a power house that GOT was. But many of the elements are top notch The acting is superb. Special effects are ok if not wonky at times. The politics (a key element of the original's success) are brilliant and all living up to standard. But the magic is missing... literally. There's no mystery and wonder, no Dark Arts. No legendary swordsman, No Witches. No Sorcery. It ultimately lacks any mystique. Solely a soap opera. Yes, it has blood and gore and sex but even that feels thrown in like a bone to a mutt. Like everything these days it's full of strong female characters but lacks any real Male role models. Literally every male character is nothing more than a fool. It's rushed, much like the hated final season of GOT All that said it's still very good! And entertaining. Just not great. And is a tad disappointing.",6 "@garcwrites: The first episode threw me off at first but it was so brilliant, it pushed the story forward and gave some sense to the second season. They kept the show dark and weird. The acting is still top notch, that scene when James is in the car with",8 "The movie is entertaining, but it is the weakest movie in the MCU. It isn't a bad movie, it's just an okay movie.",6 "This is not a good movie. Although it might be a good musical, I cannot be sure as I am not into musicals. I wanted to watch this for its drama, and beauty, and comedy. I could only bear a little more than an hour when I realized I could not watch this anymore. There was almost no comedy, and the drama was boring and old. The opening was boring, the singing was average, some scenes were illogical. I just cannot understand how this thing could become so popular and I still cannot believe how my action movie-liking friends actually liked La La Land. Despite beautiful cinematography and excellent acting, this does not deserve to be on IMDb's Top 250 MOVIES list. The makers of this movie could take the script and go to Broadway and make money off the musical.",3 "First of all, I want to evaluate this film very objectively, regardless of the themes of politics, altruism or skin color bias, even though these are the issues in the film. Because if I were to evaluate based on my personal views on equality in skin color, religion or ethnicity, I would probably give this movie 10/10. First, I really like the production design, the costumes, and the songs in the movie, and the music too, everything related to them is at an excellent level. Unfortunately, the opening of the film did not convince me, Solomon's move to Washington as well as his purpose, his motivation to find a way to escape when kidnapped... are all unclear. Too few big scenes. The places Solomon went through lacked connection. Especially Epps. Is this guy a normal person or crazy person? Does he have feelings for Patsey or not? This is not clear. There are scenes that are not done well, so viewers cannot really get into the emotions of the characters. Anyway, I really liked the scene where Solomon was hanged and he struggled to breathe while everyone around him failed to help him. Maybe that's my favorite scene because it's so realistic. The scenes without dialogue are very beautiful and poetic, but unfortunately the director have not created a deep enough contrast between the story and that beauty of nature. I have no opinion about the actors' acting, they all performed very well. I just wish the story was created to be more dramatic, instead of the director wanting to tell it exactly like the book, which unintentionally makes the movie a bit similar to a documentary.",5 "I didn't see Bay as the director before watching this, but I figured it out pretty quickly. The opening scene is an excellent display of special effects and destruction, one that I'll watch over again in the coming years, it's that good. The movie itself is a popcorn flick. Quick scenes, quick transitions, and cool-guy dialogue abounds; nothing wrong with that, it never tries to be anything else. You've seen every scene in this movie before, somewhere or other. The Losers (2010) came to mind almost immediately. I frankly lost the exact story for a bit about a half-hour in, but it's not a complicated plot; you'll find it again. My confusion - without giving it away - was due to the way it was written, and then edited together, and not because of cannabis at all, I'm certain. I'll be adding this to my pile of re-watchable action movies. Firm 7.",7 This is a boring series with that is not worth watching. The lead Protagonist is annoying.,1 This is a good show but the captain American on here sucks so bad replace him or remove him...HE SUCKS.,7 "I am not a fan of western or celebrities lifestyle or hippies or 70s lifestyle, or feet fetish (really why to put 3 or 4 scenes with girls putting up dirty feet on seats, windows,...) Was not able to watch it till the end",5 "The key is not to show off, not to let it be a campy movie. And the warmth of the bridge stoped where it should stop. Although the techniques are old-fashioned, but the story is told routinely.",7 "It's quite a repetition of the first version of the film, and it's not enough, it's great, thank you to the great director to build the historical masterpiece in which family relationships show us how the brother behaves with his siblings, his parents, and different opinions. How to keep your family home, how to get rid of a woman, bewildered treason, full of meaningful dialogue, and much more ....",9 "I'm not saying that Shawshank Redemption is a bad movie, in some ways it's perfect. The storytelling is seamless and unquestionable, the characters are bright and strong. Villains with motivation. Heroes are not idiots. Events are justified by circumstances that push the heroes to independent actions. But my God, there are so many films that are so many times more worth your time and emotional energy that Shawshank Redemption is a quiet and meditative movie that is hard to watch at times. It's impossible for me personally to worry about characters that look so fake and created specifically for this story. They cannot be imagined in other circumstances, outside the picture. The lack of deep meanings and the possibility of different interpretations of the characters and what is happening is annoying. In general, he may just not be my type, but in the end it's just one of the opinions.",5 "This is another over hyped movie where the consensus of critical opinion is better than it should be. The movie Avataar comes to mind. That movie too had a similar largely favorable reviews on release but was later found to be underwhelming. The plot is thin. The birth of the Ultron is hurried, the tender moments seemed tacked, the fight scene at the end is a reprise of the fight scenes in the first Avengers movie. The birth of the Vision may be useful in later films but here he hardly plays any role. The death of Pietro is similarly accidental. The fight between the Avengers seems pointless, and looks like a school brawl. Even the looming end of the world fails to inspire any sense of urgency or dread.",4 Superb acting by Vishnu. Quite a thrilling movie from beginning till the very end.,10 "I never thought I would have to use Gerry Rafferty song lyrics to describe my utter disappointment for a movie, but by god, the movie was so disappointing that I could just imagine the late Rafferty pointing down towards Guy Ritchie from heaven and saying ""Haw haw!"", knowing that his song was quite fitting for this stinker of a film. Here's a fun fact: I was in London earlier this year, and I visited the Sherlock Holmes museum. One thing I noticed was that they did not have any of this movie featured in the house, nor did they have the movie for sale in the gift shop, and it's obvious why: they don't want this wankery of Doyle's classic in 22IB Baker Street. Basically, if you were to to take the characters and place them in a dumb action movie, you'd get this movie in a nutshell. Furthermore, the performances are AWFUL. Sorry, but Tony Stark as Sherlock was not convincing as Sherlock. Watson was maybe OK, but that's all the compliments I have for the acting. Furthermore, the script is bloody awful. It's as if Guy Ritchie read a Sherlock fan fiction and thought ""hey, this would be a GOLDEN film!"". There's hardly any memorable dialogue in the film, and the wooden attempts at humour are just embarrassing. Honestly, just avoid this stinker at all cost.",2 "To all of the folks whining that it doesn't follow this chapter or that chapter or complain that ""it didn't happen like that..."" : Welcome to the wonderful world of storytelling. It was never intended to be a visual retelling of the books. The ""Based on"" part of the line that says: Based on the book series by... should have given it away.

Well unfortunately it wasn't very thrilling or entertaining to me. First off, it's sooooo slow. It feels like a drag and it didn't capture my interest. Secondly, it's weird. Very very weird. The title definitely fits the show but not in a good way in my opinion. It's a show that people will like if you enjoy bizarre elements & a slow plot based TV Show. Neither I like so I'm giving this a 5 because it had its moments of good cinematography & suspense. But boring scenes, plot, & characters often drag all that hype down so to me, it's meh. 5/10 wouldn't recommend unless you're super bored.",5 Bla bla bla wtf Capten America cancle this crap Disney series not watching this.,1 "From the books to the screen, this show, these books are amazing. Perfectly directed, acted, produced. The score is phenomenal! The age we're moving into, both existentially & cinematically, needs this show. I only hope the author continues to write; and the actors portraying her characters stick it out. All of them, they are simply wonderful. KEEP UP THE INCREDIBLE WORK EVERYONE!!!",10 "The opening scene of the questioning is nicely done and humorous. It's all downhill from there. Some very good acting from a great ensemble delivering some poorly written, tedious, overlong, drawn out, excessive, laborious, seemingly endless dialogue that ceases to further a coherent plot right after the first scene. It goes on and on, which wouldn't be so bad except that, of course it goes nowhere. Ana de Armas is quite beautiful. It's almost worth the tedium to continue watching her do almost anything.",3 La La Land is a tough one to review especially when you take into account the sheer number of prestigious awards it received. The reason i say this film is like Marmite is because you'll either finish watching it loving the style and story or you'll feel let down. I personally believed the hype going in and because i didn't fall in love with the music and the characters it was very hard to see it in the way so many other do. The reason i have rated it a 6 is because there is no denying how impressive the style of the film is and how good the performances by Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are. Give this a watch and it'll either go into your list of top musical films or it won't.,6 """Of all difficulties which impede the progress of thought, and the formation of well-grounded opinions on life and social arrangements, the greatest is now the unspeakable ignorance and inattention of mankind in respect to the influences which form human character.""

Wouldn't you rather they spent a little time at actually writing a somewhat decent script and making it a bit more entertaining than to praise EVERYTHING they do to the skies just because you want a new chapter in the Marvel universe? Cause this is NOT a good movie, 35 minutes of decent at best action and 85 minutes of nonsensical blabber.

Blake and Schofield, two British soldiers, have to deliver a message to an isolated regiment. If the message doesn't reach them, 1600 men are going to die. It's going to be a near impossible task for the two young men, but nevertheless they dare to cross the enemy line. Frankly, Sam Mendes' 1917 is a big disappointment. It looks amazing, that much is true, but everything else is severely lacking. Yes, the camera by the always amazing Roger Deakins is a highlight: The scope is unbelievably wide, yet it feels like Deakins is teasing and daring the audience to look beyond the movie screen. Fantastic stuff! But visuals alone don't make a movie. There's rarely a theme in 1917 that feels fresh and daring. It's a textbook war movie: There's a tragic death, a big shootout and a forced moment of tenderness and love. It's so predictable it's almost painful. The set piece at the end is truly breathtaking, but the ending itself is downright sappy. At the end of the day, 1917 doesn't bring many new ideas to the table. It tries to wow the audience with grandiose landscapes, but the two soldiers and their quest keep strangely one-dimensional.",4 "I don't leave that many reviews in general, just fighting the negative bots here. This is a superb show, great sci-fi, writing and acting so far. Really surprised with the sea of bad reviews pushed in under 5 days period.",9 "Was excited to see this show based on rating and reviews. I've never seen such high initial review for a show. But really 3 episodes in I just feel like tuning out. It's very caricatural writing and acting. Just feels like a waste of time watching it. And in the end it's still riding the bandwagon of super heroes. I understand it gets some teenage boys excited maybe. Even most of the humor falls flat. Still would be great to understand the high ratings, Amazon who owns IMDB??",3 "I'm dragging this just so to complete. Episode one was fantastic but it's super draggy the rest of it. Glory's character is flat out annoying and one dimensional. Jack as well, can't say I like Gibney much too. It is a disappointment because this is one of my favorite directors and actors Jason Bateman. He was great in comedies and Ozarks. Wish he had more screen time. I love Ben Mendelsohn too usually (Bloodlines) but he is very weak in this show. I don't know what the deal is with Paddy Considine and if those scenes were necessary. Granted, I am at episode 7 at the moment and will finish the series tonight but so far boring and disappointing.",4 I don't think it was that bad.... it started really good... but honestly the movie was taking a little time to build up towards the end I found it boring... and I Love DC movies......

Why is this thing so long? Just because you had the money, doesn't mean you had to make the viewers suffer.

That's it everything else is contrived Hollywood ""Based on Actual Events"" Drivel. The biggest fail in this movie is casting. It's a huge lift because many of these real life people were larger than life personalities; 1) Matt Damon in no way portrays Carroll Shelby with any authenticity 2) John Bernthal as Lee Iacocca, are you kidding? 3) Tracy Letts as Henry Ford II -- 50% Tracy Letts/ 50% Dick Cheney characterization , 0% Henry Ford II -- 100% terrible miscast and poor acting choices 4) Christian Bale , does a good enough job, but doesn't convey the true class, courage or chivalry of Old school/ hard knocks race driver Ken Miles 5) Only highlight Alex Gurney as Dan Gurney Your better off watching Adam Carolla's 2016 documentary film ""The 24 Hour War"" and his 2019 follow on effort ""Shelby American"".",6 "Sorry I wasn't as impressed with the movie as much as I should have been. I found the dialogues disconnected plus characters were constantly speaking simultaneously, making it confusing and missing the intended impact. It almost felt like this movie was dubbed in Hindi. The action sequences too weren't smooth lots of cut and paste feel to it. The memorable feature of the movie were the songs. Should have been great but ended up being dissatisfying.",4 "There's no doubt that Venom is lightyear's away from being a good film (it's also more entertaining than a fair few haters have made it out to be) but thanks to the tireless work of its leading man, Ruben Fleischer's film almost overcomes its various flaws to be the killer off-kilter comic book movie fans were clamouring for. More than likely victim of studio interference in the end-game (star Tom Hardy only recently made headlines suggesting around 40 minutes of the film was left on the cutting room floor), Venom struggles hard to find its grove between generic comic book origin story 101, anti-hero trying to do good and a big bad that is so tiresome and eye-rolling that it's hard to care much at all but it never stops Hardy from giving it his all as reporter turned alien host Eddie Brock. Fighting against a film that wastes its large budget on tiresome and forgettable action scenes (the film generally lacks a good set-piece), amateur editing and a thoroughly boring support cast led by Michelle Williams, Jenny Slate and Riz Ahmed, Hardy dives head first into his role and tries to single handily give Venom the spark it needed to succeed in embracing its zaniness. Much like Ryan Reynolds slipping into the Deadpool suit like a match made in movie heaven, Hardy feels like the man made to be Brock/Venom and as his down on his luck reporter begins his life as a duel being, Fleischer's film shows glimpses of what could've been had the studio had the guts to commit itself to joining Hardy in going after the true spirit of this creation. It's often laugh out loud hilarious seeing Hardy learning to deal with the new voice in his head (ever wanted to see Hardy sit in a tank full of live lobsters fully clothed?) and his new powers and at various times in these instances Venom becomes a genuinely funny and excitingly fresh feeling comic book movie but these instances are always fleeting as Fleischer's lifeless directing and Venom's tired plotline take hold once more. Fleischer's whose been in a funk since his breakout hit Zombieland allows Venom to truly become one of the most glaringly obvious cases of an actor trying their best to elevate a film they're in in quite some time and one hopes that as the film turns a profit, Hardy will stick around for further adventures that hopefully learn from the mistakes made here as this property feels far from D.O.A should the studio and future filmmakers match their actor at his game. Final Say - There's a lot wrong with Venom and its following of the rule book is both tiresome and unfortunate but there's no denying Hardy's brilliantly bonkers lead turn is worth the price of admission alone, even if everything else in Fleischer's film leaves much to be desired. 2 ½ newspaper vendors out of 5",5 "I was lucky enough to catch a free preview screening of this masterpiece of slap stick kung fu genius, and i feel that i should now pay the theater anyways. Let me explain: Suppose God had a bad day and decided to cheer himself up by creating a new man. This man was one part Charlie Chaplin, one part Bruce Lee, a half a teaspoon Jackie Chan, and an injection of every Looney Toon ever created. This is quite likely how Stephen Chow came into existence. Now imagine that after creating this man, God bestow on him an army of stunt-men, a type writer, a movie camera, a hefty special effects budget, and a eighty wardrobes worth of axes, black suits and top hats. This is quite likely how Kung Fu Hustle came into existence. Ebert has already said that this a movie where Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton meet Bugs Bunny and Quentin Tarantino, but i think that needs to be amended : Imagine a movie where Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton meet Bugs Bunny and Quentin Tarantino, and then the whole crew go to a opium bar for 36 hours. This movie was great, at least as good if not a little better than Shaolin Soccer, the smash hit Chow made back into two thousand. You never doubt the abilities of any random person to be a master of kungfu or, completely not a master of kung fu. Also, the cartoonish beating and contortions that every character seem to be able to endure are so brilliantly installed in the film that despite their utter impossibility, no one ever questions their validity. Characters and fly through the atmosphere, surrounded in an aura of flame and not even have a scratch when they reach the ground.

He is a living proof that in today's movie industry all you need is an excellent marketing team who is highly capable of making hypes around extremely boring & mediocre films. If you also have a good visual director, then you're a hit. Dark Knight trilogy had only Joker as worth remembering (in 3 films). Interstellar was one of the worst sci-fi movies ever made - seriously people, there was no imagination, no creativity, no depth in it. And Dunkirk - as I expected - is a loooong & seriously boring war movie with endless poses, endless scenes, really boring characters etc.etc... And there's one very interesting common point in all above movies; seriously annoying music & sound use. Is it on purpose? Most certainly. Is it a kind of mind control that make people think ""oh my god, if Nolan did it, then it is a masterpiece?"". Maybe. Sigh.. In today's world all of us - whether we do our own business or work for some companies - need such a capable & skilled marketing team. Image is everything. Creativity? Authenticity? Depth? Bah! Nobody asks for these, it seems!",2 "Absolute waste of time, boring tripe. Also Daniel Craig was awful.",1 "Did not like it at all except for the first 30 minutes. Maybe I was to distracted by the ""new"" looks of Sandra Bullock. She used to be a beautiful woman and now there's no facial expression anymore. So sad.",6 "Truly one of the most ludicrous films ever made. Virtually every moment of the film comprises a series of linked premises without any one of them having a rational basis. The film depends upon multiple concepts regarding space-time and space travel, most of which the audience is sufficiently familiar with to appreciate the potential story .... BUT ... each one of those is then formulated and entered into the storyline in a way that you cannot suspend belief. The series of presumptions just accumulate one ludicrous outcome after another, just in time to be posted straight into another ludicrous presumption. So what builds is a stack of preposterous situations that can really only be ""resolved"" by yet another, even more ludicrous outcome. This causes the late stages of the film to become so disjointed that the basic premise collapses. Note that the suspension of belief is, of course, fundamental to many films - in Star Trek for example, one suspends belief in accepting that faster than light travel is possible - or falling asleep inside your own dreams is believable, as in Inception - and that's AOK because the rest of the action is consistent. However, the number of presumptions you have swallow in Interstellar, that have no basis in science fiction or reality, strains credulity way past breaking point. One at least has to see a consistency for a film to be acceptable. Notwithstanding these comments, the individual elements are each highly watchable and Nolan does his usual blinding (literally in couple of the shots) best. The environments and space scenes are quite breathtaking. However, watching the film is a cascaded cataclysm of ideas, concepts, half-theories, impossibilities, broken linkages and downright wrongness, that appears on the screen like confetti in a gale. The disappointment is that the cast of actors is sensational, and they do everything they can to make the film a coherent ""reality"" .... but the outcome it to make them look like patsies to a conspiracy ... Possibly the only saving grace is the final 38 seconds - where the original one-line film-pitch made to the money-boys gets played-out ... but it's probably too little, too late",1 "I enjoyed Iron Man, I found the two Hulk movies in 5 years laughable but okay. I'm sorry but it's just hard to enjoy a movie with obvious CGI that looks completely unrealistic. So coming into Thor I had no expectations. I knew going in that it and probably Captain America were both movies that were only produced to set up an Avengers movie. While watching the movie I found myself laughing. Dialogue was completely predictable as well as was everything else in the movie. There was little heart and no character depth. This movie had a good director, a suburb cast and obviously a large budget. There was no reason for it to have been this bad other than the lack of a script. In my opinion it's a thrown together, forced movie that never needed to be made. The only perk of this movie was a couple of good battle scenes. The best of which started the movie off, which left the ending to be anti-climatic to say the least. I know a lot of people enjoyed this movie but I just can't understand why. I blame everyone who signed up to do this paycheck of a movie for it's existence. 3 of 10 - A very fair rating in my opinion. If you like movies like, Priest, Legion, Hulk, The Incredible Hulk, Jonah Hex etc... with lots of action and little else then you may like this movie. Otherwise save your money.",3 "I really wanted too (like it) as I am a huge fan of all things Harry Potter but I just couldn't get into this movie. I forced myself (and my wife) to watch this over the course of 3 sittings. It was so boring in the beginning and I really didn't care for any of the characters. I also found the CGI in this movie was a bit off putting, I am not sure if there was just too much of it, or maybe they didn't do it right or maybe the actors weren't grooving properly in front of the green screen but I really felt like Newt was talking to himself most of the time. I found his character annoying too. Nearer the end when the focus was off of Newt and his wonderfully awesome CGI beasts (blarf) the movie finally started to pick up. If this is the first in a series then I would compare it to the first Harry Potter and although I find it a bit cheesy and childish I think Philosopher's Stone did it better than this one. I REALLLLLLY want it to get better and I will give the next movie a try but it's hanging by a thread for me. Super disappointed :(",5 "Unwatchable, horrible music and very weak story to say the least.",5 "I had seen this when it first came out 20 years ago and really enjoyed it. It's creative and strange and interesting. Watched it again yesterday and felt the same. But I also had a different thought about it. The plot revolves around a couple, Joel and Clementine, who are breaking up. She decides to ""erase"" all her memories of him to alleviate any pain from the breakup so he decides to do the same. But midway through the procedure he changes his mind and tries to hide some of his memories of her in places the memory eraser guys won't find (the shame places are hilarious). The end is ambiguous, whether or not they stay together. My different thought this time was around was that they probably shouldn't stay together. The few flashbacks to when they were a couple don't seem very healthy. She's an extrovert and he's an introvert and not that two opposites like this can't work (indeed they often do) but when those differences are a source of irritation, especially so soon into a relationship, that's not a good sign. Plus her drinking is clearly an issue for him (he comments on it often enough). I think they'd be better off finding better partners. But not erasing their memories - because as the saying goes: better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. We learn from every relationship, the good and the bad ones. So keep the memories and do better in the future. Anyway, enjoyed the movie. And what a cast! Besides the stars (Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet) this film features very early-in-their-career performances by (Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo and Elijah Wood). And writer/director Charlie Kaufman is always entertaining.",7 "The boys was a nice treat. The story line is solid, the action scenes quite well directed, the blood and mature scenes just enough to keep it interesting. The acting was great as well. It was actually a nice, refreshing and more realistic view on the super hero crazy, with some boku no hero acedemia vibes.",8 I have just been to see this movie and already I have forgotten most of it. All surface level filler and a real shame more wasn't made of the fantastic beasts as they truly made the first film shine. Such a disappointment. Even the great casting of Jude law as dumbledore couldn't save it.,2 "This film made a good impression. It's a dull experience when you find yourself yet again in the theatre watching another iteration of the same formula. We get that a lot in terms of horror movies. However that's not the case of ""Talk to Me"". When entering the theatre in the horror genre we're in for a treat of jump scares and high pitched piano scores. Nevertheless what we got here is not one of those repetitive iterations. ""Talk to Me"" decides to be the deepest movie of its kind I have seen in a long time. It reaches for our hearts in an era of soft stories. We are getting accustomed lately to a cold treatment of trauma. To only pass by the sentiments of loss and anger because what we are in for are the jump scares and the gore. Not saying that latter is a wrong approach because when a film do that brilliantly it does not make sense to linger in other deeper things, but it is precisely what this film do so good. It's not afraid to pause and look into the eye of despair, loneliness and cruelty like few others. Many may leave the cinema not getting what they were looking for but pleased either way.",8 "I spent seven dollars hiring this movie to watch on a Friday night with my wife hearing good reviews and expecting some depth and some Baz Lehman type creativity. Instead, I was bored to death through a terribly orchestrated, extremely painfully scripted shocking excuse of a film which has wasted two hours of my life which I will never be able to recover. I feel dumber as a result of watching Barbie, flustered and frustrated that my Friday night has been consumed by utter nonsense. While there was much opportunity to provide deep commentary on gender inequalities, patriarchy, and imbalances in the construction and structural deficiencies in modern Western society, this film missed the mark and injected a constant sense of candy-like juvenile stupidity over 120 minutes of which I will be forever regretful of losing.",1 "Couldn't get my other half to get beyond the first 30 minutes. And the trouble is: I completely understand. Starts like the Lego movie, and gets repetitive very quickly. There's nothing original in the screenplay, and the plot is incredibly hollow. Ryan Reynolds was probably the right 'guy' for it, but even he doesn't manage to keep the movie interesting. It's just so f*#&ing boring...",2 "'Prisoners' tells the tough story of two young girls who are kidnapped on Thanksgiving. Both sets of parents struggle to cope as they are left helpless and have to rely on Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) to work on finding their missing daughters. The story starts off a little too rosy and 'happy families.' This is soon over and the atmosphere and tension build up as the families realise their children are missing, presumed kidnapped. The film has a very bleak tone and is initially quite gritty. However, the story soon turns into a Hollywood tale rather than a heart breaking story. 'Prisoners' is really a film of two parts; the first is following rule-breaking Detective Loki as he tries to find the girls. His side is quite interesting and doesn't really have any negative aspects to it - it simply is what it is, an investigation. Hugh Jackman plays the father of one of the missing girls; he is understandably frustrated after the suspected kidnapper is let go due to a lack of evidence. He takes the drastic step of kidnapping the suspect and chaining him to a sink in an abandoned house to torture him. This is obviously to make the audience ask themselves the question 'what would I do in that situation?' As the film progresses, things get more and more extreme. It gets to the point where you realise no one in real life would ever do something like this and that is when 'Prisoners' looses its audience. Things just get too silly and unrealistic. Hugh Jackman gives a really good performance but his character's actions become too bizarre. Terrence Howard is really bad which is surprising. He plays the other father and has to cry and be upset in numerous points of the film. He just does not look like he cares at all though - his crying scenes look incredibly forced and unnatural. The two mothers are shown to be useless which is a little disappointing and slightly offensive; Viola Davis could have gave a fantastic and powerful performance here but all her character does is stare into space. Maria Bello lies in bed the whole time because her character becomes depressed but doesn't really revive from it - it would have been good to see her beat the illness. Jake Gyllenhaal gives an admirable performance - although it is quite similar to that in the brilliant 'Zodiac,' he plays an investigator who has never failed to solve a case with his brash approach and his 'f**k-it' attitude. He is the only character in the entire film who isn't one-dimensional. Paul Dano also gives a great performance; he somehow manages to be creepy and seem so innocent at the same time. The film could have focused more on the slow yet inevitable breakdown of the families rather than the endless - and ultimately pointless - scenes of torture. It was briefly mentioned in the beginning that Hugh Jackman's family are struggling financially - this is never mentioned again and it is fairly evidence that Terrence Howard's family are very wealthy. It seemed like such an obvious foreshadow that the two families would end up arguing at some point but they don't. A lot of reviews have questioned the ending, many have found it annoying or weird. It is a strange way to end the film but, in context it is the most positive ending possible. Overall, 'Prisoners' is quite disappointing; the story is unnecessarily complicated and becomes ridiculous. Most of the performances are good - particularly the leads. For a film like this you would expect there to be some really harrowing points - there were hardly any.",6 "Honestly - the robot and the chicken were THE most interesting out of this whole series! The family dysfunction is stupidly played out, the mom is ridiculously arrogant and a know-it-all. the dad has NO backbone. And don't get me started on the kids...all 3 of them are just ultra smart and dumb at the same time. The acting is B movie level, and Parker Posey...my God...she needs to stick to Indie films - please. Not sure if this is a kids movie or not, but it sucks either way. I made it through the first 4 episodes and I'm done, I can't take anymore!",1 "Absolutely perplexed why anyone is rating this anything less than 10 stars. This film is a work of art, the the detail, the writing, the acting, the cinematography, the plot. I reckon cancel culture is blindsided by headlines about the director, and for that reason alone they are devoid of praise. Don't these people realize that all of the social movements are funded by money??? Appropriately, that is tastefully woven into this film. The trope of murder mystery is paired with a historical landscape and couldn't be more inventive or relevant. The artistic subtlety of political commentary is something I hope to see more of. None of this obvious crap, with regurgitated propaganda. Also- I haven't seen friendship like this since Harry, Ron and Hermione. How the bond of the main characters warmed me. Will be seeing this film several more times while it lasts in theaters.",10 Offensive movie. Basu probably thinks it's cool to make caricatures of Sanathan dharma for an audience who are followers of the same dharma. Are we so brainwashed that we allow such sacrilegious content?

Too scared Basu?,1 "If a movie gets that kind of budget and actors, you get punished with a score of one. This movie only made it passed the 20 minute limit 'cause I was thinking about what to watch next. I was immediately irritated by Bale's performance, and Matt Damon's character looked flat, boring, just doing his lines while trying constantly to put on his American charming smile. 5 minutes later I was done with this movie. Too many reviews promise a thrilling experience from beginning to end, don't go in with that expectation, and maybe you'll make it to the final lap.",1 "i am old fan of tvf.i watch every show they made.i think they change the way of Indian television. They show everyone that who to make good show and who to entertainment peoples.Everyone must watch there videos not only Pitcher, but also permanent roommates,barely speaking with arunab ,aadha 24 so many. thanks tvf for such great show. pitcher episode 1=amazing episode 2=great ,episode 3=awesome, episode 4=superb ,episode 5=no words. in tvf pitchers i like jittu and mandal character more then anyone And jittu wife's character was amazing. plz make so many more like this i rate you 10 because there is no reason to give less rating",10 "I wouldn't recommend the watch, the first half was weak and awkward, humor fell flat. A lot of the jokes were out of taste and hard to land given the serious theme they are attempting to lighten. The second half was more emotional though and actually a good watch. All in all I wouldn't recommend the watch unless you're curious.",6 Really good war movie not too much dialogue all the actors were great almost feel like you were right there in the middle of the war,7 "Key and Peele are the most acerbic, gutsy, and funny duo on American television today. In fact, comedy duos seem to be a lost art form in the United States (gone are the days of Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello, and Martin and Lewis). Perhaps, that's why Key and Peele seems fresh, while at the same time, hearkening back to pre-war era comedy. The writing is heavy on satire, but the performances are rife with pratfalls. In an era of snark and ironic distance, it's invigorating to watch a comedy in love with the execution of a sketch, not just the target of a joke. The cinematography also elevates the show above the usual crop, with its filmic look and splendid editing. Noting about this show is slapdash (Judd Apatow improv, this ain't). The show's writing and performing is deliberate and the dividends are many! Highly recommended.",9 I was really looking forward to this series and episode 1 showed a great deal of promise. What a pity everything went downhill after that.,4 "Brutal show. Two great comedians deserve better than this. I'd never heard of Selena Gomez before and she is just awful. Constant sulky face and monotone voice, who thought to cast her in a comedy? I watched four episodes and realized I couldn't care less about what happened.",4 "Movies is amazing, good casting, great acting by underrated actors.songs always gave me goosebumps.",10 Definitely a throwback to superhero fare of the late 90's and early 2000's. It has its moments and some fun performances but in the age of the MCU this movie is definitely an exercise in futility.,5 "Her role as a constant nag and yeller vastly takes away from the movie. If there is an Iron man 3, please leave out ALL of that because it ruins the film sooo much.",4 No words to say onemore block buster movie well direceted by Legendary Film Maker Nagraj Manjule. Wht acting by the all established and non established actors in this film realy appreciated the way and efforts they put in the film. This movie realy touched the imotions and feelings concept story beyon ...More.,10 "While I admire Leo's ability to become a character completely different from the ones he usually plays, I found his and all the others completely abhorrent. And I'm sure that's how they were intended, however I reached the point where I almost couldn't watch anymore. I only continued because I knew they would eventually be caught. The whole movie reminded me too much of Goodfellas, especially Leo in the Ray Liotta role. I saw that performance once; I'd rather not see it again. The only characters I liked were Kyle Chandler's & Rob Reiner's. I usually like Jonah Hill but here his voice sounded just like Adam Sandler's and that's never a good thing. And while my language can be ""colorful,"" the constant use of the F-word really offended me.",5 "This movie fell so incredibly flat. I laughed 3 times. I'm serious, it was that bad I could easily recollect my laughs. As a fan of Sebastian I could easily just see all his stand up routines scattered throughout this bland, boring movie. Deniro does a good job in what was an obvious desperate move to get some of his meet the parent's laughs. I never write reviews. I had to log on to write this one. I don't understand who thinks that just because a comedian is funny on the stage that just putting him on the movie screen will just translate over. I had to stop and start this movie at least 5 different times. If I had anything in my head that i felt like doing it was a good reason to pause it and walk away. This movie stinks. I gave it one extra star for the Doug character. For everyone involved; aren't you embarrassed?",2 "So to preface, I'm actually kind of super-heroed-out at the moment. There were too many shows and series coming out in the last few years that I got burnt out. I got Disney+ for some Star Wars content instead and started TFatWS on a whim, playing it in the background, but over time I started noticing how much I was drawn into the series. This is well-written and touches on subjects that are top of mind in the cultural zeitgeist. From Falcon not being able to secure a loan (I disagree with other user reviews: it's very easy for celebrities to still have money problems) to what it means for a black man to use the shield to the absolute fantastic bromance between Sam and Bucky, I was not expecting such a touching show. 8/10 would recommend.",8 "I get that it's just trying to be fun and cute, but idk how anyone can get over how cheesy and stupid it is. At least be a bit clever. Ok, use stereotypes and try being cutesy, but it's just done so bad. Most of the movie doesn't even make sense. So many holes and I usually don't even care if there are, but in this movie, I hate it. I went into this movie knowing it would be a bit cheesy and silly, lighthearted and just some dumb fun. But as the movie goes on I was just getting annoyed by everything. I know this movie isn't for me, but I'm just so surprised at how well received it is and how anyone could actually like this.",2 "I am huge fan of the boys both comic and show , I expected the goofy X-men show or maybe the boys spin on gen v or the problems of superheroes in their upcoming days but this turns out to be weird (not in good way) . Instead of goofy american pie type stuff or the serious dark plot there is no world building to university. The characters are not that well written and seem generic which are supposed to cater modern audience and the result is huge disappointment The show doesn't have good character or plot and is very hollow. It's first episodes very very hard to watch and dids have any entertainment aspect to them. I would not recommend this show.",1 "Oddly, this movie is less exciting than watching someone burn tens of millions of dollars, because that's pretty much what's going on. It is spectacular though. Spectacularly dumb, boring and long. Soooo long and soooo boring. And stunningly, excruciatingly unfunny. Everyone concerned can and should do better.",1 "Because of the negative reviews here, i watched this movie some weeks later. but all i have to say is, that this movie is a real spy movie. not like some other unkilllable and absolutely unbelieveble agents. this is life. and people who lived in the soviet union knows that the movie is realistic. i recommend this one for all adults",9 "...Very predictable, obvious plot twists are obvious long before they happen. Jam packed full of cliches and stereotypes but many of these can be overlooked by the tongue in cheek attitude of the show, some fun action scenes and a pretty banging soundtrack. The decent performances from the cast are perfectly balanced/neutered by some god awful ones. Ellen page is terrible and while I personally hate child actors, #5 is bearable. A tough one to stick through in a supposed 'golden age' of television but not the worst thing out there.",8 "Don't get me wrong... I love Martin Scorsese's work but this movie didn't really live up to its hype. Acting was brilliant and of cos Robert De Niro did an amazing job as an insomniac cab driver but the story was slow. Although I get why it's slow. I thought he died in the end but then he was not, and it made me wonder how can someone survive a shoot in the neck. But then again it's Martin Scorsese & no one can ever hate him. I would rate it 6.",6 "No story, full of continuity mistakes and poor acting. I had higher hopes. Waste of 2 hours of my life.",2 "Must Watch. Don't trust critics review or any sold media ratings bcz they are such an ass. Awesome movie. Execution of story, Direction and Background music is just awesome. Everyone should watch this movie.",10 "This film is a good example of Director's clarity of mind regarding characterization, mood of scenes and way of approach. Director Mr Vikas Bahl work is fantastic. In spite of very thin story line he projected this movie in a very unique, interesting and entertaining way. This movie speaks less and shows maximum. Screenplay is average. Dialogues by Anvita Dutt and Kangana Ranaut are very good. Even very average scenes are so good just because of expression and the way of taking the scene i.e When Rani goes on stage for dance, she copies other dancers and removes her sweater, rolls it like them but in spite of throwing it like them she keeps it in her bag. The way she struggles with the bag snatcher that this average scene comes out a laughter riot. Director inserted some flash back between the scene, which enhanced the scene very well and also projected some different emotions. Even the small characters are minutely observed . In a scene Rani goes to meet her family friend in Paris but that family ladies discuss about the money given to her just for a good luck or rituals. They minimize the amount because Rani is a distant relative. When Rani lives in Paris with her wonderful room mates, in this complete sequence Rani is wondered so director chose a T-shirt for Rani with quotation Alice in wonderland. This quotation clearly reflects Rani state of mind. Director never goes over board and never let the actors go over board. So, interest and entertainment remain intact. Of course Director has been supported by fantastic performance of actors. Kangana Ranaut is out standing. No one could have have performed better than her. Raj Kumar Yadav is OK. Lisa Haydon as Vijaylaxmi is fantastic. All actors are very good including Rani's Paris room mates. Music by Amit Trivedi suits the mood of film.",8 "Fantasy world created on a larger scale purely shows the ancient world of Magic, Wizards, Sorcerers, Curses, Mages, Prophecies etc. Despite having a different experience and different in a good way I still had mixed feelings about the show as there were some underwhelming aspects which follows, Timelines: The Witcher showcases the past & present events both running simultaneously and at times it was very confusing as an audience to bifurcate which events were from past and vice versa. Storylines: Followed by confusing timelines, storyline also showed abrupt occurrences such as Jinn plot where Witcher with no reason finding a Jinn to tackle his insomnia finally ended-up in meeting Yennefer looked so unnatural and forced just to connect both the characters, similarly Cirilla meeting Witcher had so much hyped but when actual event occurred it just happened out of nowhere while on the other side there was a whole war scene happening at the same time. Also, I felt that there should be more depth to the Yennefer's character as when she was in the process of being a mage it showed very little to nothing about how she learned the magic, what was her journey, as in later episodes we learnt that there was a whole schooling process for becoming a mage and once Yennefer was the brightest student. Use of Words: Although Witcher showcased the ancient times with people riding horses, using swords & arrows but their use of words were very recent such as 'F' word used constantly by the leads, 'Doctor' , 'Medical Science', 'Botany', 'Reverse Phycology' these words and the timeframe/era showed in the show I find it very contradictory. Performances: Ferya Allan as Cirilla didn't impress well as her situation referred me to the Arya Stark of GOT who had not exact but the similar nature of journey and Maisie Williams was phenomenal and effortless in that which I thought was missed by Ferya Allan. Apart from that Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia was mesmerizing, he looked solid in every fight sequence and catchy in emotional scenes he has done all the heavy liftings effortlessly and proved his versatility as an actor, The Witcher is truly his show Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg also did a commendable job but the abrupt development of her character ruined all the charm but she did great for what she had.",7 "This is one of the worst Marvel films I've seen, despite its star acting cast. Like others, I don't know how they possibly roped Natalie Portman from her excellent role in Black Swan to this the awful role she had in Thor. Character interactions were extremely flat and not developed. Thor's change in attitude is sudden, unexpected, and completely against all his character development up to that point in the film. Loki's change in attitude is confusing and not developed, with the 'twists' in the film being completely nonsensical, and his story has more loose ends than a bowl of spaghetti. All the other characters are completely undeveloped, with Heimdal, Thor's friends, and the other 'Earthlings' having no remotely worthwhile lines. The interactions between Thor and SHIELD do not even remotely make sense, and fall apart upon the simplest of questions, again with enough plot holes and loose ends to make your head spin. The costume designs were awful—the armor looked like cheap, overly-shiny plastic that is intended solely to sell merchandise to children. The sets in Asgard were CGI and not even very well done, as well as completely un-interactive (the characters spent like 80% of the film in Asgard sitting on the rainbow bridge or in Heimdal's rainbow building). I did not find anything redeeming about this film except that I got to look at Natalie Portman, but then I had to cringe every time she has a line so bad that it could fit into Star Wars: Episode II (which was about half her lines). The 'romance' with Thor was ridiculous and completely lacking any spark or realistic dialogue, again just like Episode II. The ice giants story that the film was supposedly revolving around seemed like a minor footnote, with a preachy ending that doesn't make any sense for either one of the characters' actions. Loki's action at the end of the film also makes no sense, but I'm sure it sets us up for a hopefully-less-terrible sequel.",3 "Season one was OK but what a turn back season 2.. I felt so great from start to end.. How its started just went in flow... Awesome cinema and graphics majoc, action every thing was there. Its turning to be Lord of rings but pittt have to wait another two years I guess.",8 "Average plot, Average movie with well above average Actors. This is probably what makes the movie watchable. The movie seems like an incredible waste of the highly talented actors they were able to get to make it. It makes me wonder if these actors made this to fulfill a contract obligation with the studio. Nothing else makes sense. Hugh Jackman, Maria Bello, Jake Gyllenhaal, Terence Howard, Paul Dano, Mellisa Leo, and Viola Davis. If this group of actors had a good script, well, it boggles the mind what they would be able to do with it. They took this ordinary fare and turned it into a moderately entertaining movie. Huzzah!!",6 What a beautiful movie. Its a movie based on reality. Every person must watch it. We The People,10 "After the first episode, I was hooked! Matthew Goode is fantastic as the vampire. As I read the books, I realized his casting is perfect. The rest of the cast is terrific, as well. The actress playing Diana Bishop is wonderful in the role. I was scared, in love, cried & generally reveled in the first season. Hurry up, BBC, get that second & third series completed do I can dive back in!",9 "I should say that I stopped watching after one hour. That was enough. The film still hadn't started. Apart from the fact that the music is mediocre, the real problem lies in the lack of authenticity of the characters. She is supposed to be a down on her luck actress and he is a down on his luck jazz pianist. The trouble is, they fail to portray this vulnerability because there is none of it to portray. If you think about Billy Bigelow in Carousel, he puffs himself up and puts on veneer of bravado because underneath he believes he's a nobody. In the end, this is his undoing. In La La Land, the two main characters are Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling (rather than the characters they are supposed to be portraying). I don't buy into the characters at all. She lives in a nice place. They both have cars. They go to nice places if they want to. There is no sense of feeling disenfranchised or smashed by life. There are no songs anything remotely like ""If I loved you"", ""Feed the birds"", ""The sound of music"". High school musical is way better.",4 Harrowing event.. This is a low budget production. Grim feeling to it. Actors all speaking in UK English accents including firemen and soviet soldiers. This would be average on free 2 air. It needs a bigger budget to be good though the last episode was very profound and would rate 10 of 10,6 "Compared to Justice League's Steppenwolf, the main villian is a bit more fleshed out. What doesn't help is, that his motivation and plan are super dumb if you think about it. The execution also doesn't make much sense. The story is full of cliches and non-sensical plans and most dead people surely will return soon again. This movie is 90% CG, some of it very bad and I could believe of even the soulless script was computer-generated",3 "An interesting study in obsession, ambition and sadism, brilliantly crafted and compelling to watch despite the disturbing content: endless sexism, abuse and brutality. But in the end, it seemed to me an eloquent justification for bullying and, as such, very distasteful. Teacher drives talented student to the brink of total self-destruction: I don't doubt that it sometimes happens, and is a worthy subject for a movie. Apparently the story is based on the director's own experience. But would a teacher whose abusive behaviour is so brazen, extreme and public really last long in a top institution? This movie seems to argue that such 'teaching' actually works and is to be celebrated. No thanks.",5 "This was the fist part, on which I was literally bored by the amount of poor choreography and fight scenes. Plot is very naive and punch lines are cheap as bag of crisps. Seriously it is very bad.",4 "just finish watching it. it is worth watching and highly recommended to everyone. It have a very good topic. perfectly scripted and directed all the actors have done an amazing work +acting and Hanna look so beautiful <3 in its song ( ONLY YOU ) is just love... i just cant stop listing to it",9 "I highly recommend this movie to anyone who has sleep problem, you can have a great nap during this boring movie, Just to mention it was the first time in my whole life it happened so you can imagine the movie quality. Just the problem was the high sound volume I mean for sleeping. So I gave 3 star to this movie, 2 stars belongs to good visual effects and one star belongs to the great nap that I had during this movie. I think this movie even could be just 1 hour. I remember when I was awake a kid was fooling around with a giant fish for a long time maybe for 20min and a girl was connecting her cable to different creatures. I can not believe how this creative team made this boring movie which didn't have a good storyline and it was a real cliche. But the visual effects was good. Sweet dream 👍🏻",3 "honestly, the best batman movie that was made until now. BUT!! you'd have to be mental to say that this is the best movie ever made!!! I mean come on, this movie gets nowhere near movies like The Shawshank Redemption or The Godfather. In short, it does NOT deserve a place in the top 10 of IMDb's top 250. If you would say, Heath Ledger's appearance of The Joker is so good that is should be in the top 10 of best appearances, then I would totally agree with you. as it was stated in previous comments, the movie is so full of plot lines and has some credibility flaws which make the movie overfull. I always loved the Batman movies, including this one. So I'm not saying this because I just want to be pessimistic. it is a great movie and I enjoyed watching it, but a classic or a the best movie ever made?! I don't think so! absolutely not! I also agree with the people who commented on the appearance of Bale. He is just too stiff and arrogant. He lacks in character which makes him come of like a cold hearted asshole. which may be right considering Bruce Wayne's past, but Bale overdoes it in a way so that it looks like Bruce hasn't got any depths. to conclude, an interesting, enjoyable movie which should never be confused or compared to real classics or top 10 movies. that would be an insult to those movies.",6 "It was kind of a predictable story. Some of the characters had no meaning, and they did not add to the mystery. It seems like Whiskey was just there to be half naked for like 15 minutes - I thought like in 2022-2023 we do movies without those women, especially on Netflix! There was high hopes on this one but no, it fell flat. Maybe try to get substance to all characters. Otherwise it was goos acting and some of the actors was funny. Kate Hudson's character was so funny and she does these kind of roles really good. And Ed and Craig are always good. They would have manage this movie without unnecessary half naked girl, some dude doing nothing and some other girl doing nothing as well.",4 "Disappointed. After seeing an 8.5 star rating I was so excited to see this movie.....and I wanted to see it quickly before I heard or read too many spoilers. In my opinion, ratings that high are reserved for movies like Forrest Gump, Titanic, Shawshank and Good Fellas so I really went into this with high expectations. This movie did proceed along quickly with enough twists and humor to keep you interested but it is so far fetched that it becomes stupid. The police are portrayed like characters from The Dukes of Hazzard so you just roll your eyes every time they talk. Then they get away with criminal acts with no recourse much like detectives in Lethal Weapon. Shoot your gun, kill people, break the law.....do what you want, after all, you're the police....right? This is truly a 4 star movie. You may not hate watching it but it is in no way a must see. As mentioned in many reviews the acting by Frances and Woody is very, very good and you can't help but love the resolve of the main character who is willing to stand up for what she is trying to accomplish as well as the pain Woody is going through in his life. But again, you just can't ignore the foolish scenes that occur. Ever seen a western where a guy shoots his gun 45 times without reloading? Or better yet a movie where the hero shoots 6 times and kills 6 bad guys all who had automatic weapons and were firing back at him.....Need a fire extinguisher?....Her's a 50 gallon one in the front seat of my car. It's those kind of occurrences that happen throughout the movie that make you say ""oh come on"" about 7-8 times throughout the movie. The most unfortunate thing about this movie is that those scenes were not necessary. It had enough going for it that a more realistic approach could have bumped this up to a much higher rating.",4 "First let me say that I know nothing about the video game that this is supposed to be taken from. What I can say from watching the first episode is that it appears that this series and I guess the game is that it emulates, is that it is a ""rip off"" of The Walking Dead. As an avid watcher of that series from the very beginning I cannot be impressed with this. While The Walking Dead lost its way in the later years, the take off from the graphic novels was genius. This series appears to be directed towards those people who either missed watching TWD or were too young to watch. The only good comment I can make is that The Last of Us gives a cause for the ""infection."" I think I'll log on to Paramount+ for a dose of the good old days.",1 "This movie is such blatant liberal ideological propaganda. It's so obviously about illegal immigration, but of course liberals won't call it illegal immigration. It's hardly watchable. It's no longer about the fantasy comic book heroes, now hollywood has turned it into some ridiculous lie. Do not waste your time.",2 "I've only watched two episodes so far. The animation is fantastic, and the stories compelling enough, well voiced. My one concern is that both episodes so far is that they are both ""What if this character you know was this other character that you know?"". They both happen to be minorities, although it's not heavy handed in a moralizing way, so that's neither here nor there. It's more the concern that it might become formulaic, if that's literally the whole show. I hope next episode is a lore change, or something different.",6 "Realistic!?!?! The main characters would have died 10 times over in the first 20 minutes. Non-stop action at the expense of any semblance of plot. It really was like watching someone play call of duty. Hey, if that's your thing then this is great, but not for me.",4 "Since it is increasingly important in these reviews to appeal to all readers, and not offend anyone, I am offering two reviews. Simply pick the one you like. 1. Great Production Values, Two and a Half Hours of Action, Whats Not to Like? This, the shorter review, simply states the obvious. Marvel is getting progressively better at delivering action and most people today go to these films for the action, so this is win-win. Yeah. Everyone smile and wait for the next Marvel release. Have your wallets ready. 2. As Marvel increasingly monopolizes the Superhero space, the themes get darker and darker. The early 1920s believe it or not were a lot like today. Everyone sensed a growing unease in the collective gestalt, so they compensated by more partying, less critical thinking, and going to more movies. Interestingly, movies both before and after the Great Depression offered pure escapist entertainment. You went to the movies to get anything BUT reality. A century later, that paradigm has shifted. Ever since the ""graphic novels"" started to tackle serious adult themes, there seems to be a race among superhero writers to see who can put his (her) hero through the most angst, and drag the audience along for the ride. I am not sure this is a good thing but I seem to be in the minority. I have seen a Spiderman movie where Spidey's main squeeze was killed because Spidey was a few seconds late. I have seen Superman movies where the main goal seems to be to discover how many buildings you can smash with Superman's head. And now, picking up on the same thread, I am seeing Avenger movies where governments -- these would be the same governments spying on your emails and trying to ban cash -- are trying to tell the ""enhanced"" humans what to do and not do. Now, the suits at the studio would argue this must be what the audience wants because they are making money. This reviewer would argue that when you have a monopoly on a product line that people want, they will see it regardless. Only one of us is right. In my view, the best superhero films are the ones that are the most humanistic. Superman comes out of a coma to be with the child he did not know he had. Iron Man rewards a boy who helped him when no one else would. Hulk drops out of an airplane not knowing if he will change or not, but he has to stop the bad guy and protect Betty. My attitude is, if I want adult themes that badly I don't need to go the theatre, I can simply try to renew my license or wait in a hospital emergency room. I ""get"" this is how they are making superhero films these days. I suggest that in a year or two someone will rediscover the older, more sentimental, story lines, the audience will love it, and people of the future will look back at the films of today and wonder, what were they smoking? Comment added 2021 -- With hindsight, the last ""legit"" Avengers movie before the suits decided to burn all the old franchises to the ground and go politically correct, and non-binary. A piece of history.",7 Four of us last night as huge fan of James Wan as director and all characters we seen in previous series were expecting way better and left the theater midnight with disappointment. I never given rate under 8 or 9 to his movies and thought I give 10 to this not 5! Annabelle couldn't scare us last night. However we stay James Wan fan 👻,5 "If you somehow think ""Back to the Future"" movies and series represents the height of storytelling and think American horror flics from the eighties are ""cool"" then this will be entertaining. Maybe you will feel that way if you were born in the eighties like the Duffer brothers. On the other hand, if you put any demands on TV-shows also of this type, then you're wasting your time. I just wasted it for nine episodes in the hope of some nice twists. What utter boring old crap this series is made of. The logical wasteland that is the story and the one-dimensional storytelling and acting will bore you. You could put a supertanker in the plot holes which is exasperating considering the high quality of TV-scripts these days. This kind of thing only could fly in the eighties and while Stranger Things is grounded in the eighties, it's not a very entertaining aspect to adopt also the stupid antics from that era. Stranger Things could have been great, but it's so small minded it's downright painful. The acting overall is barely acceptable. Not the worst I've seen and most actors do what they can with this weak material I guess. Winona makes a somewhat convincing mother and David Harbour has presence most of the time. The boys Finn, Caleb and Gaten, well I guess they're doing OK. The only one that stands out though is Millie Bobby Brown that manages to have charisma and mystique just by being there on screen. She's hardly worth going trough all the episodes for, but her performance should be noted. She can't save the story though. Waste your time on this at your own peril and make sure to check your brain at the door!",3 "OK, so this movie is the fictive story of the first bonding between man and wolf, but at least 10000 years earlier than it really happened. But that's details. However, apart from the relationship between boy and wolf there is nothing. The setting is absurd and nothing has any logic. It claims to be set in Europe but it's just a wasteland. Actually a complex of wastelands. You can find everything from prairie to icy mountains, from lakes to breath-taking falls. Except for woods. Where the hack are the woods? The tribe goes hunting for bisons, except they seem to cross the entire Europe to find some. Otherwise I can't explain the multitude of such different landscapes. And they go hunting in the winter? A few days after the hunt the harshest snows are falling. What the hack? Boy baths in the mountain lake in a sunny day and the next day encounters a snow storm? Yeah, right. It's painful to watch something this absurd.",4 "This is the best series I have ever watched. Amazing story, great actors and fantastic set. This is something the MCU has never done before and that makes it so unique. I love everything about this series, full stop.",7 "Well, I believe that Nolan should have done better. This movie is very noisy, emotionally flat, historically not so good. As a standard these days it uses beautiful effects and stunning imagery, but the story is lost in the very loud gunfire and explosion and engines roars and other loud sounds. My opinion is that Director Nolan has used the sound to remind us of war. It was for me personally a battle to sit and watch this movie.",5 "Just skip this one. There's some decent action, but nothing to justify watching this. The acting is bad and the story is the same old boring garbage we've already seen a thousand times. They tried to put a different twist on it here but it's really nothing special at all and it's not anything new. It's been done far too much, and here it's done badly. Do not recommend.",4 "The more I watched the trailer the less I was sure I wanted to spend the money to see it. I am glad I went but it is not something I would see again. The visual is very good. If you go see it you must see it in IMAX 3D or don't see it at all. It is great to see views of the earth from space and also nice to see extreme closeups of the Hubble, the shuttle and the ISS both inside and outside. The 3D was so realistic I blinked a few times as things came flying toward the screen. As for the story, don't even both paying much attention. Just sit back and watch the visuals and ignore the story. The believability is not even in the near vicinity of this universe. There is almost nothing about this movie that is any way related to how things like this would happen in space. I would go so far as to say you could take along earplugs and not listen to the story. Just watch the visuals.",6 "The kind of movie we deserve as an audience. Everything about the movie was so real, fresh and yet entertaining. The love and concern family members have for each other was so brilliantly told without being getting melo dramatic about it or going over the top. The humour element was so classy and smart and with lines such as "" Aap ke 2 bete hai...ek gusse wala ek Ainak wala "" or ""Shaitan singh""..it really makes you laugh out loud..... Each actor played their role to perfection. A scene where Anupam kher was ready to eat Pizza but only after continously cribbing about it was so real....they brilliantly portrayed behaviour pattern of family members in different situations. A scene where Cherry says Ty to Vinay Pathak in an auto rickshaw was so simple and yet perfect. In all...its a movie which u won't mind watching for even hundred times and may also aspire you to be a writer.",10 "If you are a sci-fi fan odds are you won't enjoy it. If you are a fairly simple person that likes pretty colors, this is the movie for you!",2 "Season 1: 9/10 Season 2: 7/10 Season 3: 5/10 Suffers from what many series suffer from: sequel syndrome and riding the success of earlier seasons to make more $$$.",9 "Aside from Tarantino movies, which happen to have comedic elements, this is the best dark comedy I've seen and the highest rated one on many sites. At first, I didn't see what was so great about this like the way Roger Ebert raved about it. The whole movie is funny from the overly- polite midwestern accents. Reminded me of Canadian accents. But I did not find it to be a masterpiece. Then I tried really watching it, and I never looked back. The film is about a used car salesman named Jerry Lundengaard (Macy) who rigs his wife being kidnapped by two criminals be doesn't know (Buscemi, Stormare) as ransom so he can get needed money from his father-in-law (Presnell) he knows he would not get any other way. The kidnapping leads to three homicides where pregnant cop, Marge (McDormand) does some investigation and is soon hot on all their trails. In the first 20 minutes or so, we meet Jerry then witness the kidnapping and the murders. This start has always been exciting. Then we meet Marge and the story really starts to unfold as she does some detective work and Jerry gets what's coming to him. For some reason, the movie lost my interest when we meet Marge. After we meet her I became more interested with just hearing the people say ""yeah!"" and ""you betcha!"" After not watching the movie for a while, I tried really watching it and I finally understood what all the commotion was all about. The story is the one of the most original you'll ever see. Originality is what makes movies great and this has it. What makes the story and events original are the characters. All characters, even bad, are lovable and well-developed, the whole movie is exciting with character-driven twists that add sheer excitement, great morals and some nice filming techniques, all while keeping funny accents with humour so dark that it messes with you. There's nothing not to like. Jerry is probably the antagonist and villain since he was the brains behind ransom and started the chain of events. He is developed so well and there is so much sympathy created for him that the viewer feels sorry for him anytime he is brought down or is seen through. He never gives up and is greatly determined. Marge, the protagonist and hero, is the most original female hero ever. She is as awesome as The Bride in the Kill Bill movies. Nobody wants to see Marge nab Jerry. Steve Buscemi is like a creature that eats away at his boss's enemy. Stormare is kick-ass psycho that plays by his own rules and answers to nobody. Both of them are funny together because they are totally different: a chatterbox and a mute. These, as well as the other characters, are so real and well-developed that they drive the movie. A pure, original character driven story and important morals that arise are Shakespeare-like. Add great filming, odd humour and thrills, you get one of America's best films ever. 4/4",10 "This is a very stretched 3+ hrs watching De Niro mumble himself towards the end credits. He looks very odd in this, also what the hell is going on with the dialogs ? It feels like it could have done with a little more hands on approach in directing. Overall this movie does not have the snappiness and score Goodfellas and Casino had. On the plus side ii was very good to see Joe Pesci again, he did a great job. Seems effortless with this guy.",5 "I can only echo what so many of the low reviews have already said. Protracted and very predictable action scenes, a lot of clichés in order to appease today's PC society (and Portland), a very old and overused plot, strange image quality - have they deliberately added grain? Not the best acting either.... the list goes on. Some stars given for the quality of the stunts and the camera work is very good, it's just that it has all been done before and when will Hollywood learn that we are all bored of their traditional formula. Come on, stop being so lazy. Realism is what we want and no, realism is not boring. If you have the skill to do it right then it takes the viewers to a whole new level of reality. I think this will be the last Mission Impossible for me. Time to move on.",3 "Finally, after many years, the audience gets to enjoy a refreshing return to a decent and exciting psychological espionage thriller instead of the typical action spy thriller. Over the last decade, action espionage has taken up most of the spy genre movies including Enemy of the State (1998); Bourne Identity (2002); Expendables (2010); Haywire (2011); Colombiana (2011); Hanna (2011); November Man (2014); Survivor (2015); The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015); Hitman 47 (2015); The Assignment (2016); and Atomic Blonde (2017). To a lesser extent, there have been more off-beat, lighter espionage fare including Wild Target (2010); Daisy & Violet (2011); Miss Meadows (2014); American Ultra (2015); American Assassin (2017). But perhaps not since Robert Redford and Brad Pitt in Spy Game (2001) has there been released on the big screen a thoughtful and intelligent espionage movie as Red Sparrow. Even though the beginning development of the movie doesn't quite match up to the French classic La Femme Nikita (1990) or the American version Point of No Return (1993) with Bridget Fonda and Gabriel Bryne, Red Sparrow gets stronger and stronger with psychological intensity in the fashion of The Ipcress File (1965) with Michael Caine; The Spy Who Came In From the Cold (1965) with Richard Burton; Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1979) with Sir Alec Guinness based on the writings of the spy writer extraordinaire John le Carre; The Russia House (1990) with Sean Connery and Michelle Pfeiffer. The cat and mouse game is superbly offered up in Red Sparrow with a great screenplay along with a very satisfying and acceptable resolution with fine performances by Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton.",8 "Characters are well made , last part is emosional , It's a family entertainning series. Jitandar( gram sachiv ) is exilent, and other 5 /6 characters are very well,specially two new charecters Vinod and his wife.",8 "The title should be lost in planet, lost in space is a misinterpretation of it's title, i watched season 1 and fair enough, there had to be a story told, but season two and two episodes in and they still on the sane crappy planet , with the same crappy story line, ,. I am done with this show, there is no ""lost in space"" at all in it.",4 "I love an evil doll film and Annabelle is a seriously evil doll. But these films are lacking something. The first one was okay, the second one was seriously scary (in my opinion) and then this one...wasn't. I enjoyed this, it was fun, but it still leaves a lot of questions unanswered, it's a tad lazy. The blue demon doesn't work for me, he's frankly a bit silly - and many of the scares in this were disappointing. Lots of set up, and then, nothing. I felt like they could have done more with this. I did really like exploring the Warrens other 'artefacts' and 'The Ferryman' was a nice touch, but ultimately this was messy. I'll keep watching though, I still think there is untapped potential here.",7 "I was worried I wouldn't be able to find negative reviews for this film. Thankfully there are many. My main problem with this film is that the central point of it, caring about six people who are trapped, fails. The movie does nothing to establish these characters as anything but pawns in a game of international chess. While at the same time there are fifty other hostages trapped in the embassy - are we not therefore invested more in the fate of the 50 than the 6? What did this movie do to actually get us invested in the outcome? I found myself completely indifferent to whether or not these people Actually escaped - if anything I was rooting for the Iranians as they are portrayed as the inept and bumbling underdogs. The whole thing feels incredibly dull and formulaic. All elements of tension and drama feel contrived and forced. The tarmac scene could almost be something from a screwball comedy. I can't believe the film wasted precious time showing us the relationship between the protagonist and his family, rather than building up the elements required to have real characters and real stakes. Overall it's completely blah - I'm disappointed. Makes me question Ben Affleck as a director.",5 Just honestly not worth idk what else to say imdb says this review is too short but literally just don't waste your time pls,2 "It should've been a 15 minute movie. It was ponderous and painfully slow, the acting was wooden. Reading the other reviews I can't fathom how they ended up coming out with such a different perspective. I can only assume that they're curated reviews",2 "The focus throughout on cheesy tween relationship drama is absurdly blind of situational context. The character interaction is less a mechanism for advancing plot and more an attempt to weaponize cringe. If the constant barrage of 80's pop-culture references hasn't put you into a nostalgia-coma then welcome to Team Monster, in the constant hopes that most of these characters will die soon. Make it stop.",1 "What a poor movie. Story was weak, acting was awful by most of the cast. Sandler is just incapable of pulling off a serious role. He only has one pace, one tone, one style - and it just doesn't work with non comedies. Don't waste your time...",4 Just one word JAI HIND. Goosebumps were just came back to back. Proud feeling of Indian army.,10 "Honestly I'm not a huge fan of cartoons animated series and anime in general this is my first ever review here and although i have seen better movies or maybe even shows than this one i just can't stand the fact that it was so amazing for no reason at all i love the series with all my heart and i just wanted to say a big bravo to the animators, writers, director the whole crew and honestly no one is perfect and neither is avatar but that's alright the sheer fact that this could have been just another kids show that can't be judged because is for kids and we ended up with this masterpiece instead of that it's fascinating honestly it is clear to me that everyone involved in this project put all their hearts out for this and about the show itself it honestly has the best storytelling and best character development in all of shows and movies it is just a masterpiece that i will make my children watch because even the worst human being in this world doesn't deserve to go without watching this absolute gem.",10 I love the Captain America film series so much. Words can't put into perspective how good these are. Bucky coming back and Steve not knowing what had happened just made an excellent film.,10 Isbar deeksha didi sahi h!.. 100% masterpiece🤣🤣 Pankaj sir rocked it,10 "Considering the copy-and-paste job Hollywood has done with many of the comicbook movies of late, I fully expected this to be another piece of glossy garbage. I was pleasantly surprised. While it should by no means be taken seriously, the Wonder Woman movie provides some solid entertainment. It has some nice cinematic visuals, thrilling battles, a few laughs, and a moment or two of true emotion. Chris Pine plays a fantastic role - arguably the best of the film. The supporting characters are likeable and well-portrayed. I was particularly impressed with the writer's use of little-known biblical parallel. Despite several tongue-in-cheek moments and minor ""fail""s, I quite enjoyed the movie. However, a movie is only as good as its star, since even a great character can fail to convince viewers if his/her actor lacks talent. Gadot was a very, very poor choice for the role of Wonder Woman. Firstly, she is not an actress, but is actually a beauty pageant contestant. Secondly, her ethnicity, eye colour, build, and general appearance differ too greatly from the comicbook character she was chosen to portray. Thirdly - and most importantly - she has absolutely no acting ability. Her repertoire consists of two basic facial expressions and the movements of a fashion model. In the role of a warrior, she is laughably lacking in stature, physical strength, agility, and fluidity of motion. In the role of /any/ character with a heart, she is painfully devoid of emotion. She was chosen for her pageant looks and nothing more, and that fact is clear throughout the film. Had a different ""actress"" been chosen for the starring role, Wonder Woman could have stood alongside the Avengers, Batman, and X-Men movies. Unfortunately, we're stuck with Gadot, and so any future Wonder Woman flicks are doomed to mediocrity.",5 "I was very excited to see this given all the hype and positive reviews. Not to mention my girlfriend wanted to see it, and there's not many she actually wants to see. I doubt you can imagine the level of disappointment I felt by the time it was over. And I honestly have no idea why so many people think it's so amazing. WWI was a huge tragedy, but the first war that was very well documented. And I would have thought that if they had picked that for a setting, that there could have been some semblance of realism somewhere. Not to mention some way of involving her in events that actually, or at least, might have happened. So maybe that's nitpicking. But from start to finish, the plot in general had holes big enough to drive a warship through. I can't really comment on the acting as the script was so bad I don't think anyone could have saved it. It would have also helped if it would have had a great, or even good antagonist. But the villains here got so little screen time, they never felt even a little threatening. A good supporting cast could have made it better as well. But they too seemed to get no character development, and didn't seem to have too much of a reason to even be there, aside from the odd bit of comic relief and to remind us of how gorgeous Wonder Woman is. Technically, there was nothing special about it. The CGI was nothing special and the editing left me wondering how much had been cut out. On the plus side, and maybe the only positive about the whole movie, was that Gal Gadot looked great as Wonder Woman. But really, the only reason I can think of for all the glowing reviews, is that people love watching a hot woman kicking ass and taking names (and she didn't actually take that many names...but she did kick a lot of ass though) And in case you're curious, my girlfriend liked it a whole lot less than me.",2 I think the story was quite different from other movies and the characters performed well and justify their characters.,7 "This movie does what it's meant to do - tells the story of the creation of the circus through song. It does do this and works as a concept quite well. It is a success to the extent that it is obviously very entertaining for many people. However, for me the film starts to fall apart in the rushed ending of production of the film. From the obvious editing of the voices during singing moments - which was really hard to get used to - to the animation chucked in very clearly to give the film a very rushed look. The editing in this film was very good. Especially in the scene with Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron in the bar. The coreography and persona of both actors made this scene the best scene in the film. However both of their voices were changed through some sort of auto tune. This is particularly annoying as both actors are famed for their work in musicals and this editing isn't necessary. The story moved a bit too quickly for me and the songs weren't particularly good. Their lyrics didn't mean much for the final performance. If these lyrics are compared to other modern day musicals like Moana, you can see how the songs don't add to the film as much as they should in a musical. The characters were incredible. They worked perfectly and each had enough screen time to make the whole film work. Zendaya seemed like an after thought at bits but she played her role well. Maybe I'm not used to these kind of fast moving poppy musical but it didn't tick all the boxes for me.",4 "6 1/2 This movie sure won't be remembered for its intellectual content , neither for its original contribution to the sci fi genre, but there's still at least more than something to look at, like wildly entertaining action scenes and stunning visual effects , and that's basically why the movie was made in the first place. All characters are in fact extremely thin and the plot quite predictable.",6 "I saw a trailer for this and was pumped for it. I love Jazz. I love modern jive. I love dance. I love theatre. But for me it fails miserably. After watching trailer, I was expecting something along the lines of Grease, Mama Mia or a good old fashioned Singing in the Rain type affair. If you are an 'arty farty' type person it may be your thing. It was long. There was a lot of material that just felt like 'filler'. It felt disjointed. There was nothing memorable about it. Most of the time we were wondering where it was going. The ending was abrupt. It was clever, but after such a long film, I felt this bit was neglected. It felt rushed. I love the actors but this one is easily forgotten. Won't be watching this again. Disappointed.",5 "Good and would be even better if it didn't try to be ambitious which it fails. Script is rather poor, as well as main character but action scenes are nice. I expected more from Russo bros. Don't even check 1* comments written by offended Bangladesh guys.. just Google if you don't think these cities really have poor districts like in movie.",7 "Sometime.. i like movies without clear endings ..it makes my imagination work . sorry for my bad english",7 "A difficult film to place. While it succeeds in entertaining and snatching a few healthy laughs-with quotes and jokes aimed mostly at an adept audience-it fails in my humble opinion in its underlying intention to convey a moral. The takeaways of the various Barbies, the monologues of the protoganist and her co-star are, in some ways, not only as anachronistic as they are predictable but all in all incomplete in their conclusions. The film flows on the predictable register of a tale that is at once banal and surreal, only to head toward an ultra predictable end without ever, at any time coming across any scene or joke that really captures the viewer's attention. I am not going to go into the various thorny topics addressed by the film because I think they were dealt with superficially while, if there is anything really good to point out, it was certainly the ability to confirm the importance of a serious publicity battage and how decisive the latter is in making all in all mediocre or slightly above sufficiency products achieve results that I sincerely do not think they deserve.",7 It is not the greatest spy movie of all time but it is way better then the 1 most people gave to it. I actually liked it pretty good. I liked the end of the movie.,7 "Against the backdrop of the uneasy coexistence with Venom, the all-powerful, shape-shifting extraterrestrial Symbiote, Eddie Brock, an investigative journalist and the entity's human host, finds himself treading water in his career after the life-altering events of Venom (2018). Now, to find redemption and put himself on the map, Eddie secures a rare interview with the unhinged death-row prisoner, Cletus Kasady: a violent, sadistic serial killer left to rot in San Quentin State Prison. However, as bickering Venom grows increasingly tired of depending on a strict bland diet, Anne is determined to move on with her life, and an unforeseen complication gives birth to a new nightmare and a fierce, unstoppable arch-enemy. Is the world prepared for the advent of Carnage, a red-hued beast with a mind aflame with madness, wrath, and chaos? This movie was no doubt way better then the first film as there is a lot more action involved. I do like the whole bond between Eddie and the Symote in this film. If you loved the first movie you will no doubt like this one too.",8 "Another, probably more expensive, bomb form Netflix. The opening action scene clocked in at over 20 minutes. At that point, it seemed that the director had no idea how to actually tell a story. Marked by silly, insincere performances, I made it past the one hour mark when I just couldn't waste my time watching another minute. I'm a huge Ryan Reynolds fan and was very much looking forward to this movie based on the previews. What a letdown.",3 "The film was not my cup of tea but the actors were good. Green Goblin and Edward Cullen ""Twilight Vampire"" were a great pair!",2 I really enjoyed this for the first half of the movie then it started to drag on. They replayed the same basic plot points in different scenarios and made several scenes longer than they needed to be. By the last half hour of the film I was just ready for it to be over.,6 "The show deals with issues that teenagers face but the show became boring after S1,S2 and 3 were a mess I liked the fourth season but the finally was boring #goodbye13reasonswhy",7 "You know that saying, ""show, don't tell""? Well, somebody should inform the screenwriters. This film literally has a narrator to introduce you to the plot by describing things. The characters are there just to have them say what the screenwriters want to yell to the world: Unfortunately, that is just a distorted view of reality a never-ending, self-righteous adolescent-level commentary on social issues the writers clearly have little grasp on, but are nevertheless very upset about. And the best part? The writers are so pompous that they literally thing that ""listening to their preachy tantrums (voiced by the actors in the movie), is all that it takes to ""wake people up"" and emancipate them. If only we had the writers's wisdom sooner as a Humankind, all wrongs would have been avoided /s. But the thing that really solidified the incompetence of the script, is the ""4th wall breaking"", acknowledging that Margot Robbie is too beautiful to be portraying someone that would be saying what is being said. Kind of meta, the writers realizing their failing script, but instead of improving it, they think that acknowledging the fact somehow makes it OK and smart. I literally became dumber by watching this two hour high-school essay written by ""adults"" who think they know what's wrong in the world, but actually lack the basic mental capacity to recognize their naive worldview and incompetence.",3 "Delighted with new addito season two! Kind of shallow humor, but some great lines.",8 "I'm a big Spider-Man fan, even though I'm sorta young but hey all fans come in different shapes, sizes and ages. For one I think that this is one of the best summer movies I've seen all summer. But I must say that the first one was way better. Only because we didn't know what was gonna happen next. Spider-Man 1 was a joy ride and even though we all knew he was gonna win in the end, that was a lot better than the second one. But I would enjoy to see this movie more than once and there's nothing holding me back from buying this when it comes out on DVD. All in all, this was a great summer movie. More so for a boyfriend/girlfriend thing...Are a movie to see with your best friend. But if u see it alone just make sure you sit next to one so you can talk about it over a cup of coffee. HeHeHe",10 "I have read all book and watched all films and I am really upset with this one. There are huge amount of collision with books and chronology. If you expect just to see a beautiful movie with Johnny Depp, then this movie is for you. However, if you want to dive back in Harry Potter world you may be very disappointed.",6 "The first episode started great and had thrilling plot with great graphics and photography. But the acting and script got way too cheesy. Even Disney would throw up. Had to turn off after a few episodes, couldn't stand it.",3 "Compared to book or game Nextflix series are like popcorn for kids - easy, with special effects, sex and blood. Elfs and dryads are black and asian, women are same warriors like men and so on. Recommended only for people who don't like to read or play games (it's like half of US citizens), I didn't enjoyed the story or plot of the series. Andrzej Sapkowski would have gray hair after watching this popcorn series from Netflix.",2 "Agents of SHIELD is by far the best TV show based on Comic character (beside Netflix Marvel series like Jessica Jones Luck Cage , Daredevil and Iron Fist ) the characters are well develope . It's not like typical Superhero show with particular Villian and our hero defeat him and save the world , it's very complex and well written . the story is running parallel with the Marvel's movies (but without huge spoilers ) , and make you feel that marvel's world is so big and connected . Phil Coulson is the protagonist in the show but they don't focus on that , they give other character a very huge part in the story and you keep forgetting that there is a central character , and the character are so intersting , facinating and complex . It's worth watching and i hope they continue produce more seasons .",10 "Marvel sequel to a pretty naff 1st movie. Superhero fantasy adventure, the plot revolves around 'The Wasp' character's mother being trapped in something called the quantum realm. She's been stuck for 30 years and needs to be rescued. The best thing is the villain, who is an interesting character. Some comedy sequences but not the level of humour seen in Guardians of the Galaxy or more recently Thor. I couldn't help thinking a ten year old would probably like this. The post credit scene is a dull setup for a 3rd movie. Pretty disappointing.",4 First two seasons were pretty good.

I found myself looking at the time wondering if the film would end and put itself out of its misery. If this is a new genre of movie, as some have said, it will fall onto the list of genres that I won't pay to see...nor...watch at home. A waste of time...and...the cost of admission. The clever lines in the script that are so typical of QT's movies fail to make an appearance. The opening 1-1/2 hours is like watching paint dry. This is an amazing cast...all lending their vast talents yo the film. Individual characters were good, but unlike QT's other movies where every scene is stellar, this film flames out. The bottom line for me...a very long movie that fails to have much to offer. Ironically...a film about a has been actor is a bit like a director foreshadowing his career crashing with releases such as this. QT...have you forgotten what has made your films so notable and great? With more films like this that would appear to be the case.",3 "What's wrong with 2019 Oscar's nominees?? So far only two movies really got my attention: Joker and Little Women. As for Jojo Rabbit... What can I say? The movie has no soul. It's a mixed bag of comedy, drama and 1% of Historic background. The only thing I really enjoyed was Jojo's imaginary friend. And even that wasn't enough to save the movie. Scarlet Johansson was good but not great. Her time on the screen is so short I can't even make my mind on her performance (and I really like her). Maybe I was not in a good day, maybe I didn't get the whole satire / comic relief. What I know for sure is that I have no ideia what the director wanted to show the public with this movie. As judging for the other reviews, I am not the only one",5 "Genius! Unique and completely different from anything Marvel has done before. Elizabeth Olsen is phenomenal! She perfects every era! The show is funny, tense and heart wrenching! You won't be sorry!",8 "Red Sparrow is a pretty decent watch that fans of the spy/thriller genre will most likely enjoy. The plot I found to be pretty good. It had everything you could want from this sort of spy film, not knowing who to trust or what anyone's true intentions were. It was well done, well put together, and didn't fall into the trap of becoming overly convoluted and confusing to the point of frustration, which films of this genre can easily slip into. It wasn't particularly revolutionary but was still enjoyable, with some genuinely surprising twists and turns. There was a strong cast on paper, although this didn't always translate to great performances. There's no doubting that Jennifer Lawrence is a talented actress, but I don't think she ever had a chance to shine in this role. She excels when she can inject her personality and charm into a role, or when the character is a bit more meaty and gritty. Unfortunately her performance in Red Sparrow required a steely and cold exterior which, while 100% necessary for the film and character, led to a bit of a flat and at times unengaging central performance. There wasn't a lot to connect to with the protagonist which was a bit of a let down. None of the other characters were particularly memorable or engaging either which separates this film from some of its better peers. For the most part a very solid and enjoyable thriller, although it maybe could have been better given the cast and the promising plot. A worthwhile watch but one that is unlikely to blow you away.",7 "Whatever happened to the great American art form - the musical? Is it that contemporary actors can't sing? Are songwriters simply devoid of imagination? How many songs of one note can be strung together until the audience begs for the end. One bright note: the dancing and choreography is ......... wonderful! That said, It isn't Rogers & Hammerstein.",3 "Everyone seems to be giving negative reviews. Whether the originality or culture of the beginning of black mirror has somewhat dissipated it does not mean the captivating writing, acting and stories are gone. My biggest reason why I loved black mirror in the first place was the shock and uncertainty each episode brought whether it was based on technology or not. Who cares is what i say. Yes it's a different season but still phenomenal, mysterious and shocking none the less. And again the acting and writing are always on point. Lay off the hate and show some love for such an original series. Each episode of black mirror is a captivating experience in itself. Horror, technology and Gore or not. Every time I start an episode it has always left me with the unexpected. Season 6 included.",9 I can't understand how anyone would rate this movie high. Boring. Predictable. Obvious. This movie was such a waste of time. I'm not a fan of the director. All of his other work has been straight garbage except maybe star wars. But everyone I know said this movie was really good so I gave it a chance. Holy hell was this bad.,1 "Someone here wrote ""The crucial word in all this is subtlety. The explosions of colour and sound that are used to portray Japan, are juxtaposed perfectly with the quiet, nervous, glances and words shared by the main actors. You can almost see what they are thinking, and read the confusion and turmoil that they are experiencing, at the same time as the pure pleasure and enjoyment of each other's company."" Yeah, I didn't understand what they were talking about either. To me, it sounded a little like ""The emperor's bright clothes are juxtaposed perfectly with his dark boots""... If you like plot-driven movies, don't waste your time. It's just introspective images again and again and again. You may accuse me of being dull and having a short attention span, but it's quite the other way around: I quickly understood that the two characters feel alienated and disenchanted. I didn't need repetitive shots of Scarlett in the tub or looking out the window to get the point. And after I got the point, I was looking forward to something actually happening with it. Surprise, nothing does. Instead, I get beaten over the head with the ""We're so lonely, no one here understands us, but we understand each other"" shtick. Not only is that horribly cliché, but it's nothing that I want to spend another 2 hours of my life watching. And I willingly rented this thing... that's right, I didn't expect any car chases or explosions. I was hoping to get the story of two strangers connecting and at least attempting to solve their problems together to teach some kind of new lesson to me. But the only moral I got was ""There are people you have fun with. Then they have to go away."" Very profound, but I learned that when I graduated from high school. And yeah, I knew that ""you can never get the perfect person"" bit too. Finally, Peter Travers, did you watch this movie high? That's the only explanation I can think of for your ""Flat Out Hilarious!"" comment branded on the back of the box. Okay, there were some chuckle moments. But I really must've missed the hilarious ones. I wish I could say I slept through them... that would have been less of a waste of time. 3 stars... all for Scarlett's performance.",3 "This movie is a climax of nihilism. In its construction it's incomprehensible, chaotic and sloppy; the tone is negative, the acting uninspired; and yet it is, paradoxically, unbelievably overrated. If this is what people esteem nowadays, then I pity for them - what is their perspective of life? How distant this production is from the original version of Batman I have seen, in the sixties; or, for that matter, the comics themselves! An overkill of sound and images must cover up the lack of story. And how 'skillfully' the sphere of the Batman original has been murdered. No courage, no honor, no romance left. Do people really believe in this vision of darkness? Or is it a perverted sense of heroism, in respect to the deceased Joker Heath Ledger? Increases the death of youth icons the validation of their productions? Should that be so, then how poor and unstable a basis that is! Seldom my time was wasted like this. For its technical efforts, I reward 3 out of 10; reluctant, however, in giving any appraisal whatsoever.",3 After Christopher Nolan I have seen these guys who are best in playing with the emotions of the viewers. Best ending I ever watched is of the dark knight rises then it is this series. Episode 5 must watch. Acting is good. But simplicity is the best. You can get the taste of simple normal day to day things which happens in our life. You can see the true story of the IT industry and how a people working in IT industry thinks about the startups. To get more knowledge please see to the videos. Best way to enjoy this video is to watch it with your friends. You will enjoy it to the fullest. And make sure don't miss a single moment.,10 "Since the Warrens were back in this one, I had been somewhat excited. What a disappointment. First off, after a rather.tense introduction, I quickly understood, the Warrens would not be there for long, replaced by a bunch of teenagers. A little surprise though, those teens aren't stupid. Still, they're not very interesting and put into situations met one million times. The thing is the movie is a stack of boring sequences. Nothing happens. Something moves in the background but falls flat. Something else pops up. And then another one. There is no feel of danger. No originality. Sometimes there's a bribe of an idea (the colored filter), but that's all. It finally ends up being the weakest Conjuring installment so far. Too bad for a pretty solid franchise, clearly still above other modern horror stuff.",3 "There were high points but just as many low. And a zombie episode, that's just lazy writing. Half of them were cringe with the woke push. As someone who has read comic books since they were a dime, I wouldn't recommend this one.",6 One of the most remarkable indian military bases movie after border. Vicky Kaushal's acting is spontaneous. Paresh rawal and akash deep also did a great job.,9 "Emo implies something that is emotional and sensitive. Emo people are depressed, stay serious, and quiet, most of the times. Emotional people tend to be attached to things and people very easily. Emo is also a term used for youth subcultures embodying emotional sensitivity. Emo is a particular style of hardcore punk rock. People of this group are called Emo. Emo is used to refer to any form of guitar-driven alternative rock that is particularly or notably emotional. Emo is used to describe a young person who is over-emotional or stereotypically Emo. The young person makes a public display of his emotions and often faces ridicule and mockery for the same. Emotions are private and should be kept within oneself. Emotions should not be shared with everyone because no one will ever understand your journey and what you are going through.",8 "I watched this after all the hype so maybe my expectations were too high, but this movie wasn't for me. I thought the acting was great and I did like the message of it, but it had too much going on without enough explanations and character development. It really is everything all at once and not in a good way. The concept of the multiverse and what was happening sometimes in scenes were not explained in a way to make everything conducive. I saw some reviews say the idea is kind of like the Matrix and I do agree a bit - full disclosure, I'm not a fan of the Matrix either. Maybe I just don't like these types of movies lol. I felt like I needed to be drunk or something to enjoy the ride to be honest.",4 "I like books, movies and TV series about witches.But this show failed to touch me at all.Maybe it's because I don't like vampires at all.Besides, I think the action in the series was going too fast.The acting was not the best.The only interest that aroused in me was the final moment and that will be the only reason to watch the second season.And I hope then I will like it more.Because the idea of the series is good, but everything else is pretty bad.",4 "Great show the only bad part is Parker Posey, horrible acting.",8 "Overrated and boring due to the fighting, shooting, fighting, killing, shooting, killing, fighting... am I boring??? Not as boring as the movie. What a waste!",2 "Way better than the Truman show in ever way. Watch this instead. (B+)",6 "This movie was the perfect ending of the Captain America trilogy and was the best way they could break up the Avengers, which of course lead to Infinity War and Endgame, which are probably the best movies in the entirety of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This movie also have great performances, especially by Chris Evans and RDJ, and a very emotional and entertaining story. Overall, this is a very good start to phase three and a great ending of the Captain America trilogy. 9/10.",9 "I'm just gonna say that this show has gotten so bad lately that i started literally hating all characters. Each and every single one. Well, just about... After pretty good first few seasons, everything that followed was getting harder and harder to watch. Jokes are so lame that elicit more and more facepalms. The only character i still respect in this show is Ed O'Neill, and that is just because he used to be a women's shoe salesman... I will never forget Al Bundy.",1 "First the positive: I liked watching Keanu when he was not fighting, the humble/tired hero he plays is great. The negative: Plot is ridiculous: He kills hundreds of thugs because of something minor. Now i don't mind a bad or in this case even ironic plot if it serves the purpose of delivering good action. But Keanu is no martial artist, so he shoots about 400 people and does some judo throws on 10% of them. That's basically all the action there is. If you like this kind of gunfire action go watch Shoot'em up with Clive Owen, way better action. The Lore reminds me of the matrix, the movie is clearly inspired by that ""classic"" in the way they present their characters. Lawrence Fishburn is even the same know-it-all guy. But it lacks the depth of the Matrix, here the hidden reality is just some mafia network whose power over the world is not explored at all in the movie.",4 "***SPOILER FREE*** Let me begin by saying, I'm at big 80's fanboy because I lived through them during my teenage/young adult years and loved (almost all of) it! I just read the book last week and I just saw the movie today, so they are both fresh in my mind. As someone who is old enough to have geeked out to all of the references in the book, the movie feels like it dumbed things down for the general masses. Too many of the exciting things from the book never made it into the movie. The movie plot is thin and it relied too heavily on the visuals, trying to make it appear to be more than it is. The hunt for the keys is too quickly/easily resolved. I know that there are details that would be practically impossible to bring to the big screen, but they took a lot of liberties with the story line in the movie and it lost a lot of its appeal. The cavalcade of easter egg characters and visual references in the film doesn't make up for what is taken from the main story. I know I missed a lot of these references having only seen the movie once, but I don't care. There isn't enough interest in the main movie to keep me coming back for those hidden gems along the way. Also, there is a bit of ""bait and switch"" going on because several of the songs used in the trailer are non existent in the movie. I know this happens in other movies as well, so while I'm not surprised, I am very disappointed. High potential and mediocre results. 5/10",5 "I was deciding on a movie to watch when eventually I decided on the barbie movie because why not, I went in thinking this would be a childish type movie but I was actually quite surprised to say the least. I can see where people are coming from with all the negativity but I personally did not mind it! The camerawork was pretty good, the acting was good though it can get cheesy at certain times, the story wasn't bad but it wasn't perfect or amazing. But the best thing about the movie is how fun it is, you can sit down after school, work, stressful or busy day and you just lay back and have a good time! I do recommend it to people who want a fun experience. Although if your looking for a serious, action filled, 10 star movie, this is probably not for you.",6 I have skipped parts . Wasn't this supposed to be funny??I love Selena but her vibe is ...meh. Well the mystery is good also the only reason I am continuing this. But still overall a 5 because I mean it's not funny and all the emo stuff is not interesting / gripping /fun to wtach.,5 "Dil Se is a wonderful movie that really stands out because of its great storytelling and the amazing acting. Mani Ratnam, the director, tells a love story that happens during some really tough political times. Shahrukh Khan plays Amar, a guy who works at a radio station and falls really hard for a girl named Meghna, played by Manisha Koirala. You can really feel the love between them, and it makes the story feel intense and full of passion. The way the story is told is really beautiful and it makes you feel all sorts of emotions. It's not just a regular love story; it goes deeper into things like how much you'd give up for love and what it means to be human. The movie takes its time to tell the story, so you can get to know characters well and their intentions. The music in the movie, made by A. R. Rahman, is absolutely amazing. Each song fits perfectly with the mood of the film, especially the famous ""Chaiyya Chaiyya"" song. ""Dil Se"" is one of those good movies that's both really artistic and easy to get into. It's a film that anyone who loves good movies should definitely see.",8 Good cast. Terrible script and plot. The cgi was good but the fight scenes were very basic. Dialogue in the movie was cringe. I don't want to see another venom movie again. At this point just let Disney have him and put him in Spider-Man.,2 "To those who have ever been to the battlefields of 1917 this movie is both a joke. and an insult. What posessed the Academy to award this movie an Oscar, apart from the camerawork? Big names appearing for a five minute part. Probably because as Michael Caine would say: ""it pays the mortgage"". A maudlin story and a trite rendition of WW1 trench warfare. For those who rate this tripe as ""one of the best WW1 movie I've seen"" I can only assume this is the only WW1 movie they have ever seen. There are at least three far better movies, to name: ""Paths of Glory"", ""All Quiet on the Western Front"" and ""The Battle of Passchendaele"". Or, for that matter ""Regeneration"" (a.k.a ""Behind the Lines""). THE thing that spoiled the whole movie? Have you seen the battlefields in 1917? Visit Zonnebeke or Ypres museums. Not a sprig of green, not a tree with leaves and branches. And from the coast of Belgium to the Swiss border, not a waterfall to be seen along the frontline. It makes the whole movie more unbelievable than a story even the creators of ""Blackadder Goes Forth"" dared to conceive.",2 "It started out so good, lining up with the MCU and their movies. But the last two seasons are S&#!, They have nothing to deal with the MCU what so ever. They all said this season 6 would line up with after Endgame so we gave it another shot, but ill be damned if it wasnt just a bunch of croc. The story lines have nothing to do with anything and seems just like the show Once Upon A Time, where they cant let it go. Hopefully they will fix it all in the final season 7, but i highly doubt it. Its a waste past season 4 DO NOT WATCH!!!!",5 "I already know with this opinion I'm in the 1% that apparently doesn't praise and worships this anime and I'm gonna get downvoted to hell, but I don't care. I was intrigued by the premise of this show that it was about time travel and having watched Dark I was excited to see some mind blowing time travel stuff. That was last year where really pushed myself and tried to watched the show to get to the good stuff, but guess what, 18 episodes later and still haven't reached, so I dropped it and forgot to watch it. Now after a year I watched the remaining episodes today and all I can say is; is that really it? What was all the fuss about? Why did people praise this show so much? Why in the hell does this show have 8.8 rating and AOT the masterpiece is only 8.9? I was expecting to see something mind blowing and was expecting be better than Dark. But all I'm seeing is talking, talking, and more talking. The show is so slow and boring that make it's really hard to binge or even watch one episode. And people were saying after 12 episodes it picks up the pace and it will be good, and to be fair there were some decent episodes in there that I don't really remember. But Jesus H Christ how disappointed and baffled I was with the ending. Like all of these people hype this anime like it's the best thing ever and I was fooled by them. Have you ever seen a time travel movie? Have you seen Dark? How can you give this show a 10 when 70 or 80 percent of the time nothing happens? I was expecting the finale to at least redeem this show for me but to my surprise it didn't. Wouldn't've made a difference if I didn't start to watch the rest again. Now I'm not saying the finale wasn't bad relative to the whole show. But the hype around this was so big I expected something... not so f ing boring. The rating is a joke. Super duper disappointed.",7 "Dont waste ur time watching this movie. Dont waste ur time watching this movie. If you into KOREAN DRAMA maybe this movie is for you. But if you dont, better do not watch this movie For me personally the film is too overrated, the story line is boring, stupid, and too unrealistic. The acting is ridiculous, and the drama is so annoying, and too much unnecessary drama. Doesnt make any sense The ending is even worse. The worst i guess lololol Dont waste ur time watching this movie. Dont waste ur time watching this movie. Dont waste ur time watching this movie. Dont waste ur time watching this movie.",2 "Stylish,entertaining and most importantly memorable You need to see JJBA.",9 "Fan has brought back the superstar that we all love.He is simply exceptional. Though there are no songs,the film does not lag. Fan is his best performance since 2007.The second half keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. The cinematography too is commendable. The action sequences are well shot and executed though some may feel unneeded.In the first half we root for the fan but later we feel the opposite. The character of the fan leaves a lasting impact on the audience but, and this is the thing, the film does not simper or slobber. It is not in thrall to its star, even when it recognizes his stardom. It goes at itself with with a raised devil's eyebrow (just like SRK's) and a nod and a wink, and brings us in on the joke. And Shah Rukh Khan keeps pace with us, all the way.",10 "As I summarized in the title, this one is a nicely directed and acted movie. The characters are given enough time and focus and they grow on you and you start recognizing them as one of us. Peter is this not so smart but extra sensitive lover of a popular TV star. Sarah is the one who walks out of his life. But circumstances prevail and they end up seeing each other almost every moment. The plot gets interesting and thicker and the proceedings keeps you guessing if they will get back together again. A good weekend afternoon watch. A word of caution there is quite amount of female as well as male nudity. The funny moments are present here and there and it does bring a smile on you, if not a loud laughter.",8 Now after watching third season I think the title should be I dont know.,7 "It's good... as an entertainment. The series doesn't do what it proposed to: Show the teenagers how to deal with themselves. But that doesn't happen. It proposed to be so amazing and have that nostalgia taste for the older ones and lessons to the younger ones, but it doesn't. The show just looks like a homemade movie inspired in Addam's Family. There's so much information in a short period of time that we can't process so many plots. We need to have notebooks to write down the wide range of loose ends. As a teenager show, the route tries to have created a romantic air, but never has a conclusion in it. No matter how the show tries, just make it's worse. The show tries to adapt the history of a really deep character, Wednesday, opening she sides wide, as being gothic and also adapting itself to the colorful ambient. The show tries so hard to do it that can't take deeper the act of Wednesday or none of the characters, making them so egoistic as their original generation's and so egoistic as the crew generation. The Show fails to represent teenagers in general that seems the whole series has been taken out of American Pie or, as the show promotes, TikTok videos. The series just confirm to the public how a big production can't show in a real form how the so-called ""Gen Z"" is. The performance of the cast is amazing, but doesn't is in the right place. They should pick actors and actresses literally with 12-17 years old, as it was supposed to be. The job of cast that was picked was excellent and express the stereotype that all people are all the time trying not to be.",5 "You can't say with a straight face that Marvel-Sony, Marvel-Disney or DC-Warner Bros. are doing anything innovative, ground-breaking or awe-inspiring. Every movie from this genre is the same, just with 5% effort to lean on one side or the other, but I won't pay for every dumbed for the masses movie hoping for the next Logan or Dark Knight, where you can actually see a vision that won't be a mockery of itself after a couple of rewatches.",3 "Holy Moley! A funny, campy spin on the gloomier DC movies thus far was long over due. Who better then Captain Marvel, a less popular campier rip off of Superman, so popular in the 40's that National Comics (DC) sued for copyright infringement and won. However, with the best of intentions, 'Shazam' falls short. The jokes are flat, the storyline is unoriginal and the characters dull and uninspired. Zach Levi, tasked with portraying a 15 year old magically transformed into an adult super hero, comes off as a little creepy. (Tom Hanks, Judge Reinhold, Barbara Harris, Dudley Moore and Jennifer Garner all did it better.) Perhaps actual cameos from the other heroes (like Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman or Affleck's grim Batman) might have helped. The kids might like it but.... I've already watched one 'Captain Marvel' this month. I liked that 'Captain Marvel'. 'Captain Marvel' was a pretty good movie. 'Shazam!'... you are no 'Captain Marvel'. (See what I did there?)",5 "Which is a pity. If they had done the science correct it would have been a 10. Otherwise I did enjoy it but it needs to be taken as a fictional drama. If you need to know the science just hit YouTube with either Scot Manley or Thunderf00t as the starting point.",4 "In short - I can't even remember the last crime drama horror Show I've watched except for - "" True Detective "". I have watched few episodes of Dexter but never caught my eye to keep watching... that being said- this is the best series in its genre I ever watched.. It seems like the small percentage of more intelligent population will like this more and get attracted to this, than a show like "" Dexter "" which compared to this is like a little baby - Honestly... It is so dark , scary , intelligent, well-made and well-acted that going from one episode to the next was extremely easy... Be warned though - there is a lot of blood and gore from the start and till the end....",10 "Ok I'll keep it short guys, total waste of time, below par acting, direction was (directionless) opening car chase scene was so badly filmed ""sometimes car is damaged"" and right next scene it was like a brand new car (what are we blind?) Dialogues were arghhhhgh u guys know what I mean 😉 so don't waste your time and go watch something else instead.",1 "So i found a site where i could watch this and lets just say the 5 epidlsodes i saw where phenomenal. It had a lived in feel, was vibrant and beautiful. It could have come close to a 10 but some of the dialogue choices where terrible. Most specifically the men would rather burn the world than see a woman rule. For one historically wo.an start 27% more wars than men and even with in world we know in the future khalessi starts a war every where she goes zero diplomacy. I like the main girl she is cute in a way and does a good job. I really like how they have her as a cup bearer at the small council meetings its a nice way of showing her education in the realms affairs. She can listen in and see the reasoning behind certain decisions and grow as a result. Matt smiths character also is decent he has a certain cocky edge to him thats intriguing. Over all aside from the few bits of dialougue that arent so thibly vieled slights at men and modern sensibilities its a 8* Definitly reccomend as the W*o*k*e is too a minimum. Just finished episode 6 and it was the time ship. Alicent is a good reasonable character and daemon is smawesome as ever. One small thing i rrally dont like the actrsss that replaced milly alcock as rhaenyra. She is just meh. I didnt like the reasoning on damons wifes ending. It didnt make sense. Over all they landed but are wobbling hard and could still crash. Hope it straightens out.",8 The waning of past talent. Two comedians whose time has past and are no longer funny or even slightly entertaining.,1 "I am fortunately not foolish enough to believe that anyone is specifically looking for my takes and tracking my reviews on here, but if you were, you'd see that I diligently wrote individual episode reviews for the first six episodes and then gave up on the show for three months, before finally watching the last four the other night. Let me tell you why . . . When the mutilated body of a young boy is found on the outskirts of a small American town. It appears to be an open and shut case for Detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn). Several eye witnesses place the local youth baseball coach Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman) at the scene, covered in blood. Forensic testimony and CCTV also show Maitland and his actions following the crime. Emotions are high in the town, and only heightened when Anderson has Maitland arrested during a little league game. However, conflicting TV footage emerges that shows Maitland out of state at a conference at exactly the same time. The initial couple of episodes, directed by Bateman, are really good. They're an atmospheric crime thriller with some horror movie undertones and lay some decent foundations. The last couple of episode are OK again too as (without spoilers) the show reaches a natural and satisfactory climax. The trouble is the episodes in between, and the very specific problem that the show tells us as the audience more about what's going on than the investigators know. This leads to frustration as the detectives struggle to find out what's going on, then to accept the truth and finally what to do about it. I appreciate everyone wants to do make prestige TV at the moment, and like so many other series the performances here are great from some outstanding world class actors. The composition and art direction are exemplary too. It's just that this is another excellent two hour movie stretched so thin that at times it comes apart.",6 "Everything in this movie is good, emotional comedy mind-blowing, promising actors delivered very well, hard work came beautiful in screen.,.................................",9 "I can't understand why this show score a 8/10... Ok, i'm not a Witcher game player, but all i see is a weak screenplay and confusing storyline, bad actors, cheesy costumes, silly names and funny accents... But you would probably love the show if you're fond of the handsome Henry Cavill in tight leather pants showing hs pectorals every now and then.",3 "Over two hours of my life I'll never get back. This was a movie with no remotely interesting characters; pointless celebrity appearances; neither tension, nor suspense; a plot with no apparent shape and a climax with no twist or revelation. This allegedly dazzling and clever film is the complete opposite of Knives Out, which was funny and clever. At one point I felt I was watching Love Island rather than a whodunnit, and the scene in which a murder finally takes places went on sooo looong! I've given 4 stars mostly for Daniel Craig and Janelle Monae.. The real mystery is that so many of the critics loved it.",4 "We watched 15 minutes and bounced. Dialogue is horrible, the cuts could cause seizures and the lense flare would make JJ Abrams jealous. Don't bother with this one unless you're using it to torture captives and even that may violate the Geneva Convention.",1 The most frustrating show I have ever watched. All this false drama and yet another twist. Every character does exactly what they shouldn't do. Don't waste your time.,1 "It presents great plots with many likable and interesting characters, backstories and plots twists. I was hooked after the first episode, and it gets more and more interesting as the show continues However The Umbrella Academy isn't like other superhero shows. Performance from all the actors is phenomenal & noteworthy. I'm especially blown away by the unexpected remarkable Soundtracks which are infused during the action sequences that instantly made me fall in love with this series.",9 "I had to binge season 1 and 2 within a week and it was easy, purely because I didn't want to stop. Every character is so complex in their motivations, and even though sometimes I find myself disliking one or another, I can always look to certain characters and agree, get behind them and root for them. The different paths every takes are all interesting (some more than others but nonetheless enjoyable to watch) and the way these different storylines crash into each others are well done and create a seamless plot. Fantastic editing and soundtrack with some dedicated actors, it's worth a rewatch (but maybe skipping through scenes that don't have your favourite sibling).",8 "This series would've been amazing if it ended in 26 episodes instead of 39. The last season was mostly fast forwarded with yawns. Most scenes are stretched too long with repeated boring conversations.",7 "Marvel made Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant Man, both were were unexpectedly good and funny. DCEU made Suicide Squad and Shazam but instead of pending time to work on the movie quality and actually humor, they decided to spend their time hyping it up and while Shazam is definitely better than SS, it is not even close to the level of Marvel and it truly breaks my heart because of how much I love DC. Shazam is a cool superhero with cool looking superpowers and cool charisma about him but that doesn't make a 130 minute movie. The whole experience felt like a 90s TV movie/cartoon about a 2nd tier hero and villains. The background is there, the hero is there, the plot is there but it all feels so ""cheap"", basic and all over the place. The writers were too lazy to take an interesting story and shape it to look original and exciting. The bullies, the wizard, the villain, the 7 sins, the fight scenes are all done half-heartedely. Yes, the jokes are there and some hit the spot but they get lost in the overall mess. Shazam feels like it is made for 11 year olds and it has good messages about overcoming adversity, friendship and getting superpowers. Sadly DCEU is not in the position to make movies for specific audiences. Aquaman had a weak plot but it was confident in appealing to everyone and was a BOMB visually, Shazam also has a weak plot but feels insecure of itself and in the terms of humor it is merely a Firecracker. #moviesshmovies",5 "Not sure why I scored this so high. I was just so impressed with Henry Cavill's performance. I'm fully aware that I'm biased and that if I were to have zero familiarity with the source materials, I would probably hate this due to the lack of exposition. I was a bit confused about the timeline half way through and there is a distinct lack of Igni but this makes me want to go back and romance Yennefer instead of Triss and I think that's a good sign.",9 "The film is produced in 2013. A different movie that doesn't take place on earth at all and all the story takes place in space. Amazing images that take your breath away due to the events. Maybe the script or the story are not very important in this movie and the visual effects are the first word. However, the story cannot be overridden and it must be said that the characters are in the worst situations to choose the best decisions and save themselves. Everything is calm in this movie. Movements, sounds are calm in most of the movie. But the events come quickly to the characters. Life expectancy and whether they will finally put their foot on the ground is one of the most important points of the film. There are many details in this film, including the Cold War between America and Russia. Where the explosion of a Russian spaceship resulted in the launch of fragments suspended in space and harmed the American astronauts. Overall, the movie is acceptable.",5 "The show centers around the woman Nadia Vulvokov (Natasha Lyonne) whom for some mysterious reason keep on reliving the same night all the time until she dies and then goes back to the same moment where she started from. She is caught in a freaky time loop and has no idea how it happened or how to fix it. After a while she finds out she is not the only one caught in this nightmare as she meets the man Alex Zaveri (Charlie Barnett) who like her also relives the same night over and over before he dies and then goes through every moment again. The show is about the two trying to find out how to break the weird and freaky cycle they are in and during it all we get to know the two characters better and learn about their past and present and why they are who they are. The show balances well between comedy and drama as it plays with a concept that fell fresh and entertaining. Natasha Lyonne from the hit show ""Orange Is the New Black"" plays the main protagonist Nadia and she is also one of the creators of the show. Russian Doll is a show with a fun and fresh concept and I'm looking forward to see where the creators will take the show next! 8/10",8 "Tron? More like Troff This awful movie gets a 2/10 instead of 1/10 because there's a few lines of dialogue that allude to some interesting things, like how we thought alien intelligent life would come from elsewhere but here it is.... spawned from the algorithms of programming and entirely virtual. So much time is wasted in virtual reality doing boring stuff like fistfights and chases - and almost the entire plot hinges on who is best at doing this. Will the villain steal the disc? Will the hero steal it back? I kept waiting for something slightly more profound, something that plays with the nature of virtual reality, but it never comes. Even in the real world (about 20% of the film) they get stuff so stupidly wrong. Like when Sam zaps a security camera to blank the image but the security guard fixes it by tapping his TV monitor. That's just a little tech thing that's inconsequential to the larger plot, but it's a omen near the beginning of the film that this will be one super lazy script where they just don't care one iota about any of the writing, about logic or consistency or good dialogue. It's like they looked at the special effects and thought ""this ought to be enough, right?"" It's like it was made by people who make porno movies and thought ""everybody just fast forwards to the sex scenes and doesn't care about the inter-connecting story, right?""",2 "Attention was paid to trying to depict some horrors of WWI, but too many of the characters actions didn't make sense.",6 "One of the best things about Marvel, is that they have managed to create a world that has characters and worlds that are wonderful science fiction/fantasy. Aliens, raccoons, talking trees, witches, etc. Much like Game of Thrones and Harry Potter, viewers love fictional stories of magic and superpowers. No matter how realistic they may seem, all of the Marvel projects have dealt with problems from their sci-fi/fantasy world. I get the same feelings from watching the Falcon and the Winter Soldier, as I do from CNN and Fox News. That's not entertainment.",2 "Season one was good but a bit messy, switching timeline and hard to follow. The characters needed to find their place. But now It seems like they've right the wrong for season two and every episode is intriguing and the story makes sense all the way. A great show all in all and it's just keeps getting better!",9 "The Boys is surprisingly an amazing show, It's fun, violent, deliciously filthy, black-humored superhero genre deconstruction. What makes ""The Boys"" so special and unique is its premise based on the Comic Book it gives the unorthodox concept for Superheroes. A very well-written show with a good sense of pace along with so many boundaries pushed. Both the seasons are gripping from start to finish, despite falling into few cliches. The action sequences are wildly entertaining, effing brutal, and sufficiently gory. Dialogues are fantastic, Direction is great, Cinematography is good, BGM is brilliant. Performances by the entire star cast are phenomenal. Season one sets/acts as a base and throughout the episode runtime there's Never a single dull moment, the story is perfect for its genre. For the 2nd season, my expectations were high & yet they were surpassed as some fresh new characters are introduced wich immediately grabs your attention and keeps you hooked till the very end.",9 "The actors are legit and the story has so many opportunities. I would like to know more about the other ""alpha"" cities around the galaxy. Do some of them have time diference? It would be possible the have galaxy where humans have developed in a much more faster speed.",9 "Jordar. Nice movie. Jordar acting. Awesome Jara hatke.",10 "Don't let the preview build your expectation up. It's a good movie. I won't think about it as the best one I've seen this year, won't watch it twice and won't recommend my friends to rush to the Theater to watch it. Lots of cliches and weak script, but overall quite enjoyable.",5 "I really enjoy some comic book movies - ""Spiderman 2"" and the first ""X-Men"" are excellent in my opinion. But I'm completely baffled by the high ratings given ""The Avengers"". The dialog is stupid, most of the costumes really lame, the story line completely predictable and good lord but the clichés run rampant. The ""super-villain"" has a British accent - that's about all you need to know about this movie. Most of the acting was completely forgettable or, in the case of Samuel L Jackson, just plain god-awful. If it weren't for Robert Downey and Mark Ruffalo, I don't know how I could give this more than one star. As I was suffering through this awful thing my mind kept drifting to ""Mystery Men"" and how much better and funnier it is!",3 "2007's Superbad meets the classic criteria of an Apatow production; it's a bit longer than the typical R-rated comedy, the film's writers (Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, not Apatow) try to mix raunch humor with some sort of message, and it has a cast of familiar faces including Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen. This film is hilarious. The entire film mixes immature and crass humor with a level of intelligence. The jokes alone make this film worth a watch and worthy of a relatively high IMDb rating. However, Michael Cera and Jonah Hill actually do some heavy lifting when it comes to acting. The unlikely duo play lifelong buds who have to deal with something very common to the American teenager: life after college and the changes that come with it. While McLovin and the immature cops (portrayed by Rogen and SNL's Bill Hader) make us laugh in the movie, Cera and Hill make us think about the life of the American teenager and make this a very good film.",9 "The beginning is quite slow and I fell asleep twice but this was the same trend as in season 1 of Game of Thrones for me. The best things take a while to get you sucked in but with a strong foundation everything pays off beautifully. Many moments where I'm left in awe. Masterfully directed taking you from one tale to the next, weaving the stories together and bringing you into worlds that are out of this world in both beauty, comedy, and darkness. The combo between the barb and the Witcher was some of the most meaningful and riveting dynamics I've seen in many years and the development of the witch is intriguing. P.S. I'm not sure about the game or the books, but I have some assumptions on Yennifer that might be misleading me on what is going on in this series but it's for then better so far",9 "It took me a minute to get into it, but once I did, it was a really interesting, really unique show. Definitely worth watching.",9 This is hands down the worst movie I have ever seen. Two hours of my life that I'll never get back and I actually felt dumber after watching this trash!!!,1 "Started watching after seeing all the hype in internet. After watching first episode it felt it has something new and expectations were high but it's more of an disappointment with routine story telling with minimal VFX effort. Anyone who already watched stranger things and Riverdale this series disappoints atleast in other stories lead characters fight for their friends, family and town but here lead character Wednesday is more toxic than actual villain for some reasons and she fights only for her adventure and doesn't think about any others for a second before putting there life at risk with zero regret. Jenna as Wednesday nailed the character which is the only pro of the series. All other characters are not lived to the expectations. Expected better from Netflix and the director.",5 Call it an Avengers or Cpt America movie; it's the best of the Marvel movies. Period.,10 "I wanted to see a Marvel action movie, not a zombie movie. Marvel, get to know your audience. So disappointed! (If it isn't obvious, this movie is not appropriate for kids.)",3 "This really could have been something special. Influential director James Cameron's first film since the mega-hit 'Titanic'. 12 years of waiting, in part so that the technology was advanced enough for the film to be made. The man who gave us Sci-Fi classics like 'The Terminator', 'T2: Judgement Day' and 'Aliens' giving us his most ambitious piece yet. But for all its visual grandeur, its technical marvel, its fine detail, Avatar ends up being a disheartening failure. Why? Because it makes the fatal mistake of completely ignoring the two things that are crucial in any film, story and character. The film follows paraplegic marine Jake Sully as he takes the place of his deceased brother on the avatar project. Based on the distant planet Pandora, the project involves controlling a body of the natives (known as the Na'vi) in order to gather information about them. Well so far so good, there's at least some creativity. All that disappears quickly. We learn that the military and business tycoons are there to take a valuable material called Unobtainium (oh how do they come up with this stuff). I'm so sick of these lazy plots that have suits taking what isn't there's. We get the message they're hammering us with, leave the indigenous people and their land alone. Of course Jake is persuaded by Colonel Quaritch to deliver information and secrets about the Na'vi directly to him so he can figure out their weakness in exchange for the spinal surgery Jake needs. But wait a second, something incredible happens. The more time Jake absorbs the Na'vi's culture, the more he grows to love its people and begins to doubt whether or not he can turn on them. Well I've never seen that before. Oh wait, I have in 'Dances with Wolves', 'Pocahontas' and 'The Last Samurai' to name but a few. It is exactly the same story as all of these. It has the same set-up, it follows the same beats, it has the same character motivations, and it even has the same preachy moral lesson. The white man comes to conquer, but the main character can't fight against the culture he initially dislikes but grows to care for. There is not a single moment in the film where I didn't know what was going to happen next. For all the money spent why couldn't they write a better story? Throughout all this Jake develops a relationship with a Na'vi called Neytiri and it is literally there just to serve the plot. These two share absolutely no chemistry. There isn't even a reason for them to like each other. The only reason Neytiri changes her mind is because some kind of sprite lands on him and that's a sign that he has a good heart. Sadly the film is littered with convenient and mystical hogwash like that which is never looked at in any detail. It's fair enough that the film has its own mythology, but at least try to give some meaning. The film suffers badly from lack of explanation. Like why are the military so fixed on destroying the planet to gain the material when it's clear that the Na'vi can be befriended with relative ease? It is basically because we need some villains and those mean humans will do just fine. The only thing as one-note as the story are the characters. Sam Worthington's agent deserves a medal for getting one of the blandest, most expressionless, cardboard cut-out actors ever to grace the screen to helm a film of this magnitude. It boggles my mind as to how insipid an actor he is. Jake as a character isn't very interesting but there are countless actors who could of at least brought something to the role. Zoe Saldana suffers too, but that's mainly because Neytiri is a totally unlikeable and irritating character. You even have good actors like Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang wasted in clichéd roles as the plucky scientist and the colonel blinded by stupidity. In a film like this we need characters that are either relatable or interesting in order to keep them from being swamped. You'd think Cameron of all people would know this. What I can't discount is just how visually stunning the film is. The world created is something we've seen before, but the detail and vibrancy really is something to behold. This film is gorgeous. The textures, the colour scheme, the shades of light, the environment of Pandora, it all looks pretty incredible and I can see why it took so long to craft. The CGI both stands out on its own and blends with the live-action seamlessly. The Na'vi's design is a bit conventional, but again the detail gone into creating them is there for all to see. The visuals truly are the films only outstanding feature. The same can't be said of the action sequences even though they're are decently staged and can get suitably intense, they're nowhere near as imaginative or gripping as they could have been. That's partly because you don't care who lives or dies. James Cameron did something here that I struggle to understand. He made a film with such creative potential and possibilities safe. Something that is a boring and hollow experience. Something that is so reliant on its visual brilliance that without it there is nothing to offer. How could someone as talented as Cameron create a story that is so cliché riddled and unengaging? In many ways the film's success is disappointing. It's telling filmmakers that we want more films where the stories and characters can be as basic as possible as long as we get some impressive visuals, where we value style over substance. I want style, but I also want a film that I can be invested in and where I care about what happens. Avatar failed to provide this on any level.",3 "Not a huge fan of superhero movies but I enjoy trying to keep with with some Marvel lore from time to time between all the movies. I'm not well versed in spiderman/venom storylines from the comics so it's just a take on the movie from someone wanting to see a decent superhero flick with action and laughs. This movie barely delivered on the laughs and couldn't even scrap together any memorable action scenes. Venom's awful storytelling definitely begins with the incoherent and messy script, with multiple plot lines leading nowhere and a villain that challenges the cheesiness of phase 1 marvel villains in blandness and forgettable lines. Tom hardy as Eddie Brock seemed to be the only redeeming quality in this movie, using his natural charm and persona to interact with the venom creature in a meaningful way. However, his initial backstory as a news reporter was told in a matter of minutes at the beginning of the movie as a series of montages. Same thing with his relationship, quick few scenes and BOOM cut to 6 months later after everything goes downhill for Eddie. The movie spends roughly 30 minutes on 2 absolutely useless plot points involving symbiotes, adding nothing to the story and dragging it down even further. The jokes were a hit and miss, but a lot of them just came down to 'the venom symbiote is talking funny in Eddie's head teehee!'. The comedy was one of the better aspects of the movie in terms of enjoyment. The action? wow, it was downright handheld garbage for a good 80% of it. The character of venom looked pretty good most of the time, and big fans of him will be pleased to see his CGI on screen. The issue is 2 of the bigger fights involving venom fighting the villain and his goons of course take place at night and are barely lit enough to gain a coherent visual on the action. Venom absorbs heaps of bullets and damage and leaves Eddie without a scratch, yippee. The final fight played basically like Black Panther's final fight in terms of being a forgettable, dimly lit mess with no memorable action. I'll try not to spoil anything, but the movie basically boils down to ' bad man wants bad thing to happen to earth, but good man who make past mistake try to stop bad man because he bad!'. No subtle underlying themes or messages. I'm not asking for Kubrick levels of subliminal messaging, but the story had no substance to offer whatsoever, except for a hamfisted relationship that's been played out to ensure the audience connects romantically to the movie, which of course adds nothing to the already barren story.",3 "The director did a pretty good job. Apparently he knows that there will be no mistake making a movie about slavery, which always win some awards and get overrated since everyone is too afraid to be called: ""racist"". Let's say, if there is a movie about racial inequality or slavery, you have to tell yourself it is a good movie, regardless of how boring, how poorly made it is (not saying this movie is bad), otherwise you are a ""racist""! This movie is good, but far from being great. I believe all men and women are created equal and judging others by race is terribly wrong. However I also believe that if a nation really want to be prosperous and earn respects. People should stop crying about how badly they were treated, but to get educated and work hard. Call me a racist or whatever you like.",5 "Well, I'haven't enough words to describe this series. I hope they'll arrive at the 20th day, because I don't know if I can survive without this movie!!!! It's very very fantastic... Jack Bauer is one of the best characters I have never seen, and his adventures are various and interesting, they won't let you breath until a determinate scene or situation in finished, and, after a scene, another will immidialty began. There are a lot of original ideas, and the best is the using of clock during the series. I don't know why they've decided to jump three or four minutes in the fourth and fifth series (I have not watched the sixth yet), but it's not very important",10 "Good news is I got to see it for free on an HBO free weekend and did not have to pay to see it. Bad news, I got to see the movie. I was really looking forward to this movie. The trailers were great and the concept was intriguing. The problem was the execution. Once again, chase scenes, fights, explosions, special effects etc took the place of good writing. What could have been a cerebral movie just turned out to be another action movie. I do not want to take anything away from the special effects, they were very good and some were outstanding. My problem was that maybe there was only 30 minutes of actual plot and dialog in the entire movie. After a while, you quit wondering if it is real or a dream and just start dreaming that the movie will end soon. There are really no good twists and turns in the movie and little that is so thought provoking that you want to talk about the movie afterwords. My advice would be to take the special effects budget and spend it on some great writers. As the old commercial asked ""Is it real or is it Memorex?"" Who cares?",4 Horrible story line mashed with bloodshed and filth,1 "I truly enjoyed this show. I haven't read the books or played the games, but it was fairly easy to get enveloped by this rich world with wonderful characters. The story telling, which was out of chronological order, was done in a stunning ways. What grasped me mostly though, was the atmosphere, the 'feeling' that a fantasy world is supposed to give you. And for that, Jaskier (Joey Batey) should get huge credits. His original music, as well as his performance as bard, makes this world as realistic as can be. I am a massive fan of sword fighting, monsters and magic, but wanted to write this review mainly in gratitude to Joey Batey. Thanks for the music dear Bard!",9 "I think End game is non sense How could they destroy the story by missing with time ! killing Thanos erase infinity war so End game is never happen and I wonder about Captain Marvel ..half the univ disappear and she was to busy or did not notice tell she had a missed call ..and once more she come to do nothing here ! come on ! I waited too long for this movie to understand why the ""heroes "" of infinity war give up willingly infinity stone to thanos however the know what he will do! but now never mind it is just a movie no story not a big deal p.s I liked what happen to ironman",4 "People will probably be mad that I only gave this a 9/10, but come on, I still love this movie! Anyway, I was expecting this to be an adaptation of the ""Civil War"" Marvel comics, but it really wasn't. It didn't feature much of the story elements, although I haven't officially read the series, so I can't judge. Let's hope Spider-Man doesn't end up making a deal with Mephisto. Speaking of which, Spider-Man is probably what attracted people the most to this movie. It's amazing to think that in only ten years, this character has been played by three different actors in three different continuities. It just seems a waste to not put ""The Amazing Spider-Man"" series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, of course this Spider-Man is better than that version. A lot of people were afraid that Spider-Man would just immediately appear, or would at least only be seen briefly. As someone who has seen Agents Of Shield or more importantly Agent Carter, it was great to see a connection to the TV shows with her funeral being held. It was weird how they didn't mention Nick Fury. At least Thor and the Hulk were mentioned. It's too bad that Thor did not appear as he happens to be my favorite Avenger. I admit to being confused as to why they were deemed too powerful to be in the movie. I mean, just put them on different sides, duh! I've complained way too much. What matters is that we get to see more development with Bucky, who probably shines here the most. He even set a record for longest time to resurrect a character in the comics, as it was forty years! It seemed downright insane, but it ended up making some great movies out of it. I love how these characters all have unique personalities. It's always great to see new developments featuring superheroes who have to deal with the consequences of their actions. The fights the characters have with each other make a lot more sense. We even get some great personal stuff with Iron Man. The action scenes are amazing with all these wonderfully bright characters taking part in these great fights. Black Panther is also introduced and really gets a great scene at the end. This movie may not have affected the status quo of the Avengers that much, but is definitely worth watching. ***1/2.",9 """Fargo"" is a film that is incredibly fun. It makes the most of its simple but very well-constructed story and turns it into one of those films that seems to fly by way too fast. It perfectly blends black comedy and drama, and its quick pace makes it a very re-watchable film.",10 "The first time I saw this movie, I was slightly confused. I felt it didn't meet my expectations. Now, having seen it a second time, I realized that I shouldn't be basing this movie on what I thought it should be, but how it actually turned out. All in all, it's a great movie, and one of the only movies that didn't bore me the second time seeing it in a row. The plot is so jam packed that I had a little trouble thinking it through the first time, but the second time was a real eye opener. This is just a great movie. It's not what you expected in a Fantastic Beasts sequel, because it's almost nothing like the first one, but it has some similar themes. I did however feel that there was a decrease in set quality during the beginning scenes, especially when Grindelwald was on screen.",6 "An excellent, adrenaline-rushing, funny, and beautiful film. One of the best movies i have seen in my life. It has adrenaline from start to end with touches of drama. Excellent tempo. Very good script and direction. This movie is about passion, friendship and talent. My real rating is 8 as a film in general, still a solid 10/10 as a racing film. The movie isn't boring, has a dynamic actions and true feel of speed. Worth every minute. The chemistry between Matt Damon and Christian Bale sizzles and leaves you wanting more. Director James Mangold keeps the dialogue and conflicts involving, while expanding their personal lives to give extra heft to the drama. A smart and compelling look at hard competition and the will to win.",6 Super script and screen play by the director and Karthi's action is super.. sentimental and thrilling to watch...,9 "The Irishman to have any chance of being a good movie had to have been made 20 years ago as EVERYONE (actors and director) has gotten more than a step slow with age and time. If Casino was a step down and same type of movie as Goodfellas, then The Irishman was like falling down a well. Sad really to see these great actors way past their prime and being caricatures of themselves. It was like watching a 46 year old Willie Mays playing for the Mets It was pure greed on their part to make that movie, or maybe they just can't quit. Either way that movie didn't need to be made and was 3 1/2 hours of our lives we won't get back. The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos are all anyone needs to see of this genre. Everything else is just poor imitation and unnecessary - especially The Irishman",2 "This movie should have been a ""Black Widow"" movie. Jennifer gave a great performance, it wasn't very good as a movie.",6 I will keep it short and simple: Slow and Boring!! I was glad that i seen it in the rotterdam filmfestival and didnt have to pay much for it....my neighbour was fallen asleep even.... What was this flick about again? Its still unclear to me........,5 "When I watched this film, I'll admit, perhaps my mouth twinged at the corners a few times (more so than most other films declaring themselves to be ""comedy"" which I rate one star on average). But this film is mere tripe, it pales in comparison to the refinement, depth and complexity of the popular Adult Swim show, ""Richard and Mortimer"" (Rick and Morty for lower IQ individuals). In fact, the part in particular that has utterly taken my fancy is an episode wherein the titular ""Richard"" transforms himself into none other than a lacto-fermented cucumber, and proudly proclaims his new designation to be ""Pickle Rick""! Oh how I laughed, for this is true comedy, this is art. This film simply fails to compare to its better, and while I consider it above average as far as modern comedic films go, I simply cannot rate it higher than 4 stars. This is probably due to my incredibly high IQ. My name is Jeurel Barton, bury me with dislikes if you disagree",4 "Please don't watch it, its just a show which is overhyped by indian audience because of Netflix making it. It is not near to any of the great epics like narcos etc. Just a cheap trick to make an indian narcos which totally failed, instead of having such a great cast and crew.",1 "STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning Diana (Gal Gadot) was raised on a distant planet of only women, where her mother wanted to protect her from the physical demands of fighting like all the other women there. But one day she starts to rebel and unleashes some hidden powers she was unaware of, meaning the rite of passage has come, so her mother tells her the story of a spiteful son of a God and his attempt to destroy the Earth. Then, Air Force pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crash lands into their home, confusing the order of things. He reveals he has a book that contains plans by evil German commandant Ludendorff (Danny Huston) to unleash a deadly nerve gas on England. And so Diana and Steve must head to London to thwart his diabolical plan. The superhero franchise, on both sides of the DC/Marvel divide, must really be doing the rounds, as now we have Wonder Woman, who was a character in the recent disastrous Batman Vs. Superman movie, in her own more than feature length film. And after this, there is of course the Justice League film, where all the main players are having a big jamboree together. Whether this was the inspiration behind this films existence or pressure from the feminist movement to get some good ol' equality up there on the big screen is unclear, but either way the debut feature length directorial effort of Patty Jenkins is a long, joyless effort that wastes a golden chance to level the playing field for female superheroes. Like Batman, even more so, in fact, Wonder Woman has been taken from a pretty camp, light hearted source, and been transformed into something far moodier and deep on the big screen, where undemanding fun has been substituted for wondrous spectacle. But for all the awe inspiring effects and breath taking action sequences, it can't make up for a total sense of humour failure in the script, as well as any care-worthy characters or snappy dialogue, as well as a totally sloppy, incoherent plot that really fails to suck you in for the length it does. She may be beautiful and glamorous to look at, but Gadot isn't the greatest actress, to say the least, and co star Pine is equally vapid and bland. Even a support cast including David Thewlis, Ewen Bremner and Lucy Davis can't help. Performances wise, the best thing is Huston as the villain, who really fits the skin of his character, but can't make the whole thing taste any better. It would have been great to see a good Wonder Woman, but sadly this is just Blunder Woman! *",2 "The show(season 1)doesn't impress at anything. It's very easy to predict what will happen and that is making it boring...Klaus, Five and Hazel put a little bit of colour in the show. Is overrated at 8 and I think that not all the people should be allowed to vote you can't give a 2 or 10 that doesn't reflect the reality.",6 "I am liking this show well enough after 3 episodes. First of all, Selena is gorgeous as always and also somewhat coy and mysterious. Good on her landing this gig. But some things bother me a bit. The attempt to be edgy seems to just be gore and swearing. There is not a clear direction on what the target audience is. Is this for young adults, old people, what??? I watch things outside my target demo, but I want that to be a consistent experience. I don't flip on some Looney Tunes from my youth expecting it to be adult oriented, I want it to be a kids cartoon. So far I'm being pulled in a few different directions so it's a bit annoying. From an acting perspective I think Martin is standing out. He fits the character as written almost to a T and seems to jump out of the screen at you. On the other side, Steve just doesn't quite work for me and I've never really considered him a top level actor anyway. But he still kind of works as a contrast to Martin. As for Selena, let's all be honest here and admit she's just not a top-level actress, but she's cute and is clearly there to counter the two old guys with her youth. And as we've seen in the trailers (no spoilers), she's a central character but so far maybe hasn't had a chance to flex her acting range. (I'm also throwing out the question: what is up with her speaking voice? Her tone is so very nice as always but her enunciation is off almost like she had a jaw injury.) Another comment on the acting in general is that everyone seems to be a bit distant. Put another way, I am not seeing as much chemistry as I would like. We'll give them some more time to warm up but for now it's almost like each person is acting to the camera, not to their costars. This show does give me vibes of ""The Flight Attendant"", which I also liked, but sometimes it feels like they copied some things here and there. Could just be me...",7 "I love most of Marvel movies but this one is a mistake. Terrible script, average acting and terrible director's work. Happy I didn't spent my money on it, sadly it took 1 hour from my life. Worth seing only if you are younger than 12 becauss story is booring, jokes are lame, characters are weak.",2 "While I'm sure we'd all like to forget the terrible movie ""The Last Airbender"", Avatar: The Last Airbender is a show that should never be forgotten in the sands of time and should be looked upon as one of the best animated series of all time. The story takes place in a world quite different from our own. The world is separated into four nations; Water, Earth, Fire and Air. The divine entity that possesses the ability to master all four elements and keep in touch to the spirit world is called the Avatar. The Avatar is born into one of the four nations and is taught the other three bending techniques during his/her life and is basically the peace keeper of the world. The basic story begins 100 years after the Fire Nation attacks the other nations and begins a world war. To make matters worse the Avatar vanishes without a trace. That's where Aang comes in. Aang is a young Air nomad who has been trapped in an iceberg for 100 years and is found by two teens from the Water Tribe, Katara and Sokka. Aang soon realizes he and his flying bison, Appa, have been in stasis for over 100 years and the world has been flung into a near hopeless state. And to add more insult to injury, Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation has made it his obsession to tracking down the Avatar and bringing him before Fire Lord Ozai(his father) and restoring his honor. He is accompanied by his seemingly lazy uncle Iroh, who has more secrets than he leads to believe. This is the basic premise behind the show and I have one word for it as a whole... amazing. It is really rare when a show that's aimed for children nowadays can be so mature yet not take itself too seriously at the same time. Everything about this show is magnificent. The characters are all likable, the animation is beautiful, and the Asian influences are all exceptionally done. And the show only gets better as it goes on. Near the middle of Season 1, Aang realizes his true destiny is to stop the Fire Lord from drawing immense fire bending power from a comet that will arrive in the summer of the next year and has to travel the world searching for masters to teach him the bending skills. This leads to a thrilling climax at the end of Season 1 where the Fire Nation leads an attack on a huge Waterbending city which leads to some of the best action in the whole season. Season 2 introduces a new main character, Toph. Toph is a blind young girl who learned the art of seeing through Earthbending and joins the gang as Aang's teacher. We're also introduced to Zuko's sister Azula and her friends Ty Lee and Mai. Azula is one of the darkest villains I have ever seen in a TV show, animated or otherwise. We get a lot of character development out of the characters too. Most of all Zuko. We learn about his past, his relationship with his family and just why he wants to capture Aang so much. Season 3 is probably the most epic of the bunch(and probably the darkest). More character development fleshes out the characters and makes them more human and relateable. The series finale is one epic battle against Aang and Ozai while others fight against the Fire Nation for their freedom. The ending is very satisfying and the battle scenes have some of the best animation out of the whole series. I haven't even covered most of what makes this show so great but if you're really intrigued I definitely recommend looking it up. With a great voice cast, a great plot, and beautiful animation this is without a doubt the best show to come out of Nickelodeon.",10 "Captain America's second solo outing in the MCU was something that I wasn't sure about at first. Some plot points can be a bit confusing upon your first viewing if you are not paying super close attention to every little detail. However, upon my second viewing, it all came together. In my opinion, there are only 3 comic book films that are good movies, not just superhero movies. These are movies with deep characters and complex story elements. Those 3 movies are Dark Knight, Logan, and Winter Soldier; this movie is amazing. First off, this film really does Captain America justice. He is so awesome in this movie. Just in the first ten minutes you really start to buy into the idea that he is the greatest soldier in history. I like the Russo brothers vision of the character in this film. Cap is the definition of the American Dream; the moral guy who was your great neighbor; but now in 2014, things aren't exactly the same. He quickly realizes he can't just trust anybody that easily, even his allies. Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff are fantastic characters to have in this film for that exact reason. We know Cap can trust them, but they are still very, very complex people with shady personalities. SHIELD is hiding very big secrets and when Cap has an unknown mercenary after him, things get more out of hand. The pacing in this film is excellent. It has frequent action but there is one time where roughly 25 minutes go by without any action, but I wasn't bored at all, The things that happen in there are interesting story and character building. The film has a great look. The CGI is polished in a way that fits well with this political thriller theme. A lot of people don't like this movie, and I sort of understand, it's easy to get lost. If you know what is going on though, this film is so much deeper than it appears. Next time you have family movie night, give this one a watch!",10 "Really rubbish movie. Very surprised How mad it was. Another bad movie for Tarantino. 2hrs 45 mins of my life i wont get back.",3 "There is a huge failure in storytelling. Because without reading a book, it is impossible to understand what is happening. For what and what does witcher drinks from bottles? Why does he change after?This serial is just filled with such holes(try remember principles of magic and you will dissapointed at the end of season) in story and plot. Most of actors donot act at all except: Joey Batey, Lars Mikkelsen, Ron Cook and Shaun Dooley. When you see these actors - you believe that they are part of that world but others....(also good was Jeremy Crawford with red beard< he is just best, so natural). What is good? Scenes, music and work with light. Idk why people give this serial 7-10, may be they are just proffesional .",2 "The film is really excellent! Even though somewhat blind firing shown in the movie,other things like 'shooting,directions,planning for surgical strikes,decision taken even after there is a high risk,risk taken by soldiers and responsible authorities to accomplish the mission 'are exceptionally incredible.",9 "The film, if not entirely but to a large extent relies upon its plot. The screenplay is engaging till the end. The acting is good by all and extraordinary by some are some of those reasons why the film is one of the best. The story of the film which revolves around a kidnapping case which started to take unexpected turns is without any flaw. It is darkly funny at times. The actors have done it very smoothly. The setting, cinematography, and cast everything has been good in the film. The brothers have taken the advantage in the beginning by saying that the story is taken from a real incident, thus making the audience more cautious and interested. The story has a number of twists. Performance by Francis Mcdormand as Margie is one of the exciting parts of the film. Her acting is the major force behind the darkly comic nature of the film. The film is not to be missed by any film goer. MESSAGE: ""Things never go according to the plan."" VERDICT: ""A must watch film.""",10 Boring film. Bad screenplay. No direction to the story. Definitely a big step down from No way home. First part is way better. Watch it for VFX and Sound mix nothing more.,3 "Boring, droll, predictable, unexciting, typical of all weak comic book movies, lots of action but little drama, plot, or compelling draw to the characters. Blah. About my reviews: I do not offer a synopsis of the film -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it. My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of ""terrible"", with 5 being ""mediocre"" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very Good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A Classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating)",3 "Well I was not excited enough for this movie, but when the trailers started coming and then the music, my curiosity began to flourish little bit. But the main reason I went to saw this movie was because I heard almost 50-60 review from my friends and not even single person had a negative review against it. And when I saw this, it really blew me away because it had many mixtures which made this movie work. First of all FARHAN AKHTER is at its best, no doubt its his best performance till date. It was like we were seeing real Milkha Singh on screen. Divya Dutta is awesome, Pavan Malhotra, Yograj Singh & Prakash Raj have really performed well. Sonam Kapoor is completely waste though her role was very little, so you won't miss her. Rebecca Breeds looks fabulous, Dilip Tahil as Jawahar Lal Nehru was not a master stroke. Screenplay was good, music was fabulous and the background score really kept the life in each and every scene. Rakesh Omprakash Mehra's best work till date also. YOU DARE TO MISS THIS ONE ON YOUR OWN RISK !!!",10 "Suggested drinking game - take 1 shot every time Wilson Fisk says ""Venessa"", 2 shots when he says ""city"" and 3 when he says ""this city"".",9 "Nolan has made some of the dreariest films in recent memory, but this incomprehensible nonsense takes the cake. While keeping a straight face, actors deliver lines such as ""dreams within dreams is too unstable"" and ""if we get killed we'll be lost in limbo till our brains turn into scrambled egg."" DiCaprio and company supply the ham. This movie tells us that ten hours of real time is equivalent to one week of dream time. That explains why this nightmare of a movie feels like it goes on for two days despite the running time of two and a half hours. And if one falls asleep while watching, the only way to resume one's normal life is to limbo under a totem pole.",1 "An above average MCU movie which redeemed the previously poorly written MCU Spider-Man. I advise anyone to see this especially if you loved the previous Spider-Man movies.",4 "Fargo is why I love movies. It is dark, funny, exquisitely scored and features some of the best acting performances I have ever seen. I will not give any spoilers to those who have not been fortunate to catch this classic, but watching the caper unfold and progressively get worse and worse is one of the most arresting experiences I have ever had in cinema. The plot revolves around Jerry Lundergard (Macy) hiring two thugs (Beschemi and Stormare) to kidnap his wife. He plans then to get the ransom from his over-powering father in-law and escape the crushing debt of both financial and emotional proportions. Of course nothing goes as planned and the caper takes deeper and darker turns. If you are a fan of the Coen Brothers I would put this at the top of the list!",10 "I don't usually do reviews of films, I find I can never really explain properly how feel about films, and other reviews usually do the job for me, however seeing all the negativity about TAS makes me sad. first off Andrew Garfield is excellent as Parker/Spidey. I personally enjoyed his take on the awkward teenage angst more than Tobey's. I really enjoyed the back story of Peter's parents, and am looking forward to finding out more as the trilogy progresses. I MUCH preferred the way this film handed the 'becoming spiderman' section. Similar to the way Bale's Bruce Wayne built his bat gear in BB. I also preferred Emma Stone as Gwen Stacey than Kirsten Dunce as MJ. I'm quite a big fan of the Rami films(even spiderman 3) but I just felt this film was better. Do yourself a favour. See this film. Ignore the haters. Thank you, and goodnight",4 "It is not a well-made movie. I would like to point out some glaring mistakes in the film. Though Mani Ratnam is a very respected movie maker but in this film I didn't see him living up to his reputation. For one the setting of the movie is the dry and arid Chorwad area of Gujarat. Any one who has ever set foot on Gujarati soil knows how dry it is. There is not a source of water for miles around and women often walk hours to fill their pots every day. There is not a single big river in the entire region. But the whole movie seems to have been shot is some doaba area of Deccan. The temples, the topography, the rivers and the village tanks all seem to shout out loud that it is shot is South India and not Gujarat. This shows that the movie makers are not ready to find beauty in the locales where their movie is based but rather would go for their old tried and tested locations that they are comfortable shooting in. These kinds of attitudes seem to be unprofessional on the part of the movie makers. No wonder our movies fail to make a mark on international arenas. It is simply because even our best filmmakers are not prepared to venture beyond their comfort zones. Other than that there are frequent omissions and mistakes. For example when the hearing of Gurubhai is going on and the photographers are shown shooting the proceedings in a frantic manner. On of the photographer has a camera that does not even have a Lense. Many of the photographers are handling the cameras in a way that seems to suggest that they have never done so in the past. These small things are highly visible and they tend to give a negative feeling about the levels of professionalism of the film crew in general and lower the quality of the final output. The disclaimer issued at the start of the movie doesn't really let off the movie makers of the responsibility of making the movie as factually correct as possible. For in spite of the disclaimer almost everyone knows who is being referred to in the movie.",7 "Marvel scriptwriters are more dependent on the VFX and CGI than actually making content. So much potential in this movie. Trust me so much potential, more deeper, darker and emotional. Could have waited for better scripts and much more vast possibilities. Disappointed.",3 "I feel that I am watching this show only to get some taste of GoT, starting with the theme song. This show is not letting us get connected to the characters at all. In GoT every Stark Kid, Tommen, Marcella, and even older characters grew with time. But here we are constantly getting not single but multiple new characters every other episode, and they are dying like flies. Daemon looked promising, but after he killed Crab feeder, not much is happening with him either. And I feel we are getting an overdose of dragons in this show. I will watch this show, but till episode 8, I don't think it will get cult status like GoT. I hope the makers prove me wrong.",7 "Taxi Driver is a good film.There is no doubt about it. However,at this point of time it would be too early or rather naive to call it a classic.This is because there are certain weak spots which deny ""Taxi Driver"" its fair share of a classic film tag.It is a different matter that this film has been hailed as a classic film by various intellectuals,academicians and critics because it is one of the few American films which has managed to have a tremendous socio-political impact on the minds of many young people worldwide no matter where they come from whether Thailand or India.This is the reason why any aspiring actor worth talent can have his/her chest swell with pride while uttering ""You talking' to me?"".In ""Taxi Driver"",director Martin Scorcese and screen writer Paul Schrader have not so successfully amalgamated European style of cinema in an American film.However,this new innovation appears a little tedious as a lot of questions remain unanswered in the film.A good example can be the appearance of Martin Scorcese in a minor role as a cuckolded husband.One could surmise that it is quite possible to leave many questions unanswered as mostly Europeans films adopt such a dissipated story telling technique to perplex audiences.However,this is something new for American cinema as it is traditionally known to favor simple narrative structures.In ""Taxi Driver"", it is scandalous how many characters have been belittled in order to make a valiant hero out of the title character.This will surely irk audiences who are keen on seeing an equitable distribution of roles.There are many academic critics who have spoken about Christian motives of this film.But this is not entirely correct as the truth of the matter is that any film can contain scenes where candles are lighted in front of god's image.The saving grace of this film is Bernard Herrmann's musical score which has given this film its raw and destructive energy.",6 "Actor like chris hemsworth,randeep hooda doing such a disaster movie which no one can imagine. Russo brother's failed this time.This movie is waste of time.",1 Detectives and polices are try to find the killer of school kids and motive behind those killings...but they got surprised for strong alibu for all killers.. Finally they findout and stop the killing of kids.. Good to watch few episodes and they didnt explaoned logically.. Still one time watchable...!!,7 "Looking at the film based on a real story and facts, I was asking myself where the man would like to arrive in certain societies. Love for your wife and/or husband, for your children, parents, other relatives an close friends is always more valuable than any money. The main man in the film, Jerry Lundegaard, was able to organize an act of kidnapping his wife with two gangsters in order to get half a million US$ for him and another half for the gangsters. The result was fatal at all, his wife and father-in- law killed by the gangsters and he himself discovered and caught finally by the police. This Lundegaard had no ethics, no love for anyone including his son, and no brain at all. The idea of making and presenting such films is really, it probably may help some people (with brains) to think about and not to kill or burn themselves and their families for money.",7 "The acting is pure class. The direction is pure genius. The writing is enthralling. Anurag kashyap has gathered most of the actors form the theater background and managed to create a story which captivates your mind and makes you want for more. The actors from the theater background, including Nawaz have acted in such a manner, in which it depicts true reality of an Indian. Showcasing this on global platform like Netflix will not only showcase India's culture, but also its political background and the good as well as the bad in the Indian society. It will help the international viewers understand Indian cinema in a big way.",9 "I can see why Cavill no longer wishes to play Geralt. The main approach of the books is that Geralt is always in his own head philosophizing about things. This show seems to have him almost as a side character only there to be brooding and to make monster kills. Kills that do not stick to the lore I might add: His choice of two swords is not staying correct for killing with silver, for example. There is a lot missing for a show like this. The writing is steadily going downhill, the story is being slow rolled at parts and character development is lacking. The true story is being lost. I started with this show being an 8 and now I think it is a 6 making my rating currently a 7. This represents being worth watching for me but only just barely. If the course continues this way and the writing still sucks when Hemsworth replaces Cavill in season 4, I'll stop bothering to watch this show.",7 "I had read good things about this series so I expected something. But apart from seeing the hero iron his laundry in the opening scene I couldn't find anything in the first episode that would get me hooked. Everything seemed so pointless, particularly the scenes that were supposed to give me some insight into the characters' motivations. I couldn't care less about the characters or the story, so I stopped watching after the first episode.",5 "I liked the movie for the most part, but I am increasingly discovering that I don't like Ron Howard's version of storytelling. Apollo 13 was ok for me as well. I really enjoyed the acting of Crowe and Connelly and Bettany.",7 "I really excited about this film and i've been waiting fir several years ti watch this. While some may claim showing the scenes in reverse is just an annoying trick to make a simple plot confusing and add a plethora of twists, I wholeheartedly disagree. Any good story teller knows it's not what you say, but how you say it. By playing the scenes in reverse you experience the confusion Lenny undergoes throughout the film. Showing some of the scenes in chronological order (BTW, the use of B&W instead of color to make the time distinction was ingenious) creates suspense which builds as the two time lines converge. The somewhat rushed pace (compared to a written format) doesn't give you enough time to adequately analyze the events during the movie. This has two advantages: firstly you're going to talk about it after you leave the theater adding to experience immensely, and secondly you don't have time to think about what has happened (will happen) so you're experience better follows that of Lenny.",8 "I think one of the most disappointing pieces of news I've ever heard in my life was that James Cameron was just going to make 'Avatar' sequels from here on out. He's unbelievably talented as we know from everything he did before 'Avatar'. This film though was a massive let down. I feel like all that he cared about in making this film was the visual effects. He just wanted to blow people away with what he could show them, and decided just any old plot would do. It's about as cookie-cutter as scripts ever get, just checking each tick mark along the way. The film is long and it feels long. Nothing of interest happens for lengthy periods and even when something of interest does happen you don't care because there are no characters to give a hoot about. This film was not for me in case you can't tell. It represents everything I hate in cinema. Safe, unoriginal, by the book nonsense. A generous 3/10.",3 "Barbie is a thoughtful homage to an iconic toy brand that overturns the well known stereotype of the blonde, plastic ""bimbo"". It is also undeniably Mattel's punt at keeping Barbie relevant and commercially viable for the next generation. In one fell swoop a corporate, patriarchal brand tries to distance its own corporate image from Barbie ""herself"" whilst also politically sanitising their toy brand at the same time. It's a PR stunt through and through. They want Barbie to be about individuality and self-determination, and that's all well and good; but there's still a corporate brand behind the curtain, even despite the gags (Will Ferrell) alluding to that ironic hypocrisy, such as the groveling admission about ""one or two"" previous Mattel CEOs being women, amongst a long line of men. That aside, on its own merits as a film this was very preachy and very convoluted throughout, the crossover between the two ""worlds"" was a really cool idea that just needed more development and streamlining to land properly. Barbie was well cast (Margot Robbie), as was her playboy, Ken (Ryan Gosling) and the comic relief alter-Ken, Alan (Michael Cera). Many of the ingredients and characters for a good film were present, but the execution fell flat. Somewhere beneath the political hullabaloo the film contains a valid message about mutual respect between the genders and a lesson on self actualisation. But ultimately, the film forgot that Barbie and Ken could have had some *fun* whilst also making the points the film set out to make. Making many of the characters superficial Kens or Barbies made the palette a boring and grating one, even despite the points that were trying to be made about individuality. The film also often lacked the light touch needed to captivate young girls who actually play with Barbie dolls and who won't necessarily understand the high level commentary at play here. Even if a mum or elder sister explains it to them afterwards.",6 "I guess people are praising this movie just because it's Tarantino ""... so even if I don't understand anything, it must be a masterpiece!"". It has some greatly made scenes... beautiful. And nice acting. But other than that... storyline is mostly boring. I laughed barely few times, felt excitement exactly 2x in the movie... the rest it's just waiting for something to happen... And yeah.. enjoying some fine details. But that's far far behind from what I'm used to receive from Tarantino movies. Movie is definitely not for everyone... not my cup of tea.",6 "The show in season one was really intriguing, fun to watch. Then came season 2, and the debacle started by drifting into a typical left wing political commentary. At this stage I started to feel like the proverbial goose being force fed. That wasn't fun at all. And finally we were gifted with season 3. This one is just an empty vessel for the message, a certain pronoun used ostensibly for 1 character alone (it felt like I could see the bold, italics and underline at the same time, really weird.), and a completely vacuous story. I mean, the characters do things that have no consequence whatsoever and whilst we are on this carousel, end up doing what they were supposed to do anyway. The first time the writers employ this ruse is okay, second time it's annoying, when it's done over and over, my reaction was that of frustration. Let's forget about plot holes, they are numerous, just like the multiverse we were gifted with. As the show ends up pretty much where it started, it appears exactly for what it is: shallow.",3 "Cringe through and through..sharks are petty with each other and act childish..they don't seem to bring any value besides money..too much drama as if you are watching one of those dance shows.. pitches are full of drama with all sorts of filmy background music..having watched the US version, had high hopes.. wish they held back on 'drama quotient'..highly disappointed..",1 "Shahrukh Khan has done good 'acting' instead of just being a star (for a welcome change). Gayatri Joshi has put in a good subdued performance. The songs are great. Picturization is pretty good too. Unfortunately, the story sucks. It is hackneyed, clichéd, re-hashes whatever you've seen / heard ten times before and the actions of the characters are absolutely unbelievable. It tries to be sweet and cute and ends up being fake (along with sickly sweet and sickly cute). Idealistic films would be more idealistic if they portrayed reality and showed shades of gray in their main characters too. Fairyland movies such as Swades fall woefully short of real idealism.",2 "I wonder if I am getting to old for this but the fact is I found this movie only so-so. Eddie Redmayne was as good as he could be, considering what he was given. I could not relate to any of the characters. Dan Fogler provided several humorous moments, although that seemed to be the single reason for him to be dragged along throughout the movie. The special effects were terrific – I especially loved the scenes where we were first introduced to Newt's creatures. Each was very different and that entire scene was very magical. However, it was just pretty stuff being dumped for the sake of dazzling the viewer. There just did not seem to be much story to it, or what is there is underdeveloped and confusing. Newt has these creatures and some have escaped so he needs to find them. Also, there is a bad guy wreaking havoc throughout Europe (no background whatsoever on the guy). And then there's this weird disturbance distributing mayhem throughout New York. The way these facts came together did not feel tremendously well done and there was just too much going on, with no clear thread uniting it. I feel like this movie can only be truly appreciated by people who read the book because I for one was very confused. Unfortunately the movie did not interest me enough to want to watch the sequels and I cannot say I recommend it.",5 "After Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool (both movies I love) made a ton of money it's obvious that the bean counters at Marvel think that piling on jokes is the answer to making a great movie (and, of course, money). The problem with that is that the tone for this movie is way off. It's supposed to be dealing with Ragnarök, which is (very simplified) the death of gods and end of the world. Go back and watch the scenes in Avengers: Age of Ultron where Thor has a vision of Ragnarök and compare the tone in that movie with this one. You don't really feel like there's anything at stake when there's (supposedly) witty dialogue and slapstick going on in every goddamn scene. It effectively undercuts everything in the movie. But the cardinal sin is that the comedic parts aren't very funny, although I have to say that I chuckled a bit at emo teen Hulk (surely it can't be a spoiler that the Hulk shows up in this movie since he's in the trailer and on the poster?). After a while it became embarrassing to watch everyone on screen scrambling for cheap laughs. It reached its apotheosis when the sloshed Valkyrie drunkenly fell off the ramp, in a performance that would make even third rate porn actors blush. The only thing I've seen directed by Taika Waititi is (except for a few episodes of ""Conchords"") is ""What We Do in the Shadows"", which had some OK scenes and an amusing premise, but was hardly a knee-slapper. But one things that's clear is that he's no James Gunn. The most impressive thing about this movie is that it made the first two Thor movies seem pretty damn good.",2 "While I was excited about the concept of this movie, a highly anticipated release among horror genre enthusiasts, I found it to be somewhat underwhelming. Despite a promising start, with the potential for truly terrifying events, the story seemed to lose its momentum as it progressed. It left me wondering why it followed such a repetitive and oscillating pattern throughout. Even though the film had the opportunity to tap into the fear-inducing elements and the story's potential, it didn't fully capitalize on them. However, it's worth mentioning that the movie managed to redeem itself somewhat towards the end, leaving viewers with some intriguing questions to ponder in the moments after the credits rolled. In summary, while the initial concept held great promise, I couldn't help but feel disappointed with the overall execution.",5 It's not bad. You just have to know you're watching a Michael Bay film. The most Michael Bay of them all.,7 "From ""a hero how turns against his own race"" to ""a guy who runs away from villain to save his family"". I felt like I was watching a routine American family drama on alien planet. Movie was name way of waters, but not even for a minute I could feel the connection with actual way of water people, like how it does with the first part. I really in love with pandora when I watched the Avatar part1. Way of waters is very artificial when it comes to dealing with the water people and their way of life. Was in fact irritated with both water people and the family drama. Still don't understand why they made the second movie with such a miserable plot. Just because the used special effects doesn't make it a good action movie. None of the action sequences were amusing. And last but not the least, seeing 7.6 rating for this piece of 's' word is an another face palm moment.",3 "This movie is a straight out commercial film without any serious plot and with a lot of one liner jokes. Seems like Marvel is ripping themselves, Age of Ultron is very similar to The Avengers and The Guardians of the Galaxy. The super hero team is divided in the starting only to unite by the end of the film to defeat the antagonist. From the beginning of the movie we can see that the story will set the plot for the future Marvel movies Civil War, Avengers Infinity Wars part 1 and part 2. The main antagonist Ultron doesn't seem like a serious guy. Even he has his one liners. I couldn't take Ultron seriously from the beginning of the movie except for his appearance. Ultron is supposed to be a really serious character, impossible to outsmart and difficult to beat. The locations were really good and the graphics were superb. But the 3d was like any other film. There was not much seriousness to the characters, all the director cared about was which character gets the last one liner. Iam not really sure why Captain America says ""language"", even after he fought in the world war, he got beaten up on the streets. Overall I will not be expecting the future Avengers films to outdo this film.",4 "My other half persuaded me to watch this film. I'm not usually one for musicy films in the first place. But after watching Bohemian Rhapsody and really enjoying it, I finally gave in. The acting was good, the story was nice, but it was just very flat. I was expecting a roller coaster.... I feel a lot more could have been done here. There was no real drama, just a bit of a pity party. There were only two parts of the film where I felt any real emotion, and it was nothing to shout home about. Shame really. It could have been a great film.",5 "I was hooked into watching this movie because of a combination of seeing every other X-Men movie and because the preview for the movie was incredible. I thought this was going to be above and beyond better than any other X-Men movie. While it was not bad, it was not very good. I did enjoy large portions of the movie and several of the themes. However, it did not seem to finish any main theme. The themes of age, decay, and sorrow are very clear, but they were not well concluded. The movie just leaves you hanging. The movie seemed as lost as the characters, which if intended, then they succeeded. The language was completely unnecessary and distracting. The same movie could have been made and the same points could have been brought up without any of the language. It was as if the writers just wanted to make the movie dirty for the sake of being dirty. God was pointlessly brought up unless the point was to make subtle jabs at theism. There was one very good scene toward the end of the movie that for me was the main redemptive aspect of the movie. I will probably forever remember that scene. The movie leaves a lot to the imagination which is both a good and bad thing. Viewers could definitely leave the theater very confused about the development of the story. Finally, unfortunately like many action movies, it eventually gets rather silly in regards to its action.",6 "I went into this movie expecting something profound in every aspect that a movie can potentially portray; this was due to the fact that I trusted the intellectual integrity of the people who had told me that it was one of the best movies that they had ever seen. During the movie, I was falling asleep in the beginning (where the plot is really being described), but still was able to understand the movie fully. The people rating this movie with 10 stars are so infatuated with the fact that they had to think in order to understand the movie fully, they're looking past 2 things; a) they probably need to think to do a lot of things if understanding this movie required an immense amount of thought, b) this actually just isn't the one of the best movies ever created. The plot had loop holes and parts that didn't make sense, and sometimes the ""rules"" (per say) of the dream world weren't really put into use, and often broken. The reason I'm giving this movie 6 stars is because it is still nevertheless a good movie, but intelligent? No. Should it be the #3 highest rated movie on IMDb? No. Should the stupid people who think they're smart stop clogging the reviews and allow people who could think straight throughout the entire movie to review it? Absolutely, and this movie being considered as one of the best movies of all time is a premature bi-product of the latter. Final Note: Good movie, unbelievable visuals, completely unworthy.",6 "Lets put our cards on the table. Johnson (who wrote and directed BRICK) is one of the best auteurs in the biz, and has two entries on my IMDB list of the greatest films ever (see below). But this film is structurally weak and not even close to the original. In my view, knowing that this was destined for streaming, Johnson made a calculated effort to build a movie with sound and fury -- aimed for the cheap seats, the casual, streaming, holiday, audience -- but ultimately signifying nothing. For film historians and educators, only the trope with the ""security enclosure"" around the Mona Lisa -- which opens and closes as an ongoing gag and pacing mechanism -- will survive the test of time. ((Designated ""IMDb Top Reviewer."" Please check out my list ""167+ Nearly-Perfect Movies (with the occasional Anime or TV miniseries) you can/should see again and again (1932 to the present))",7 After all the hype about this film and also reading the book about a year ago I was excited to watch this film.thought it was alright but not a good as I was expecting it to be. Think this film has been well overrated myself but with watching.,5 "I'm sorry but is there anyone who liked this movie. I love SF, and even that pinch of horor is good but there is absolutley no plot. Boring conversations, too many unnecessary side characters and fight scenes. I felt like I was watching some low budget movie. SPOILER ALERT: Can anyone explain to me how Strange and Wong know about Spiderman when Strange deleted everyone's memories about Spiderman, including himself and Wong?",3 "They put reality close to the movie, the dropping sound of empty bullet shells is the sound of victory. Other pseudo liberals will piss off as well As the wire . This movie is indeed a masterpiece.",10 Stay till the end credit. Good movie. Really liked this one over the first one.,10 "Easily the least interesting (most overrated) film of all time. That is, next to Titanic. This is a ridiculously expensive waste of a film. Bad dialogue, bad story, bad plot with a ton of money to make it look kind of, sort of pretty. There have been other movies like this (with less problematic writing) that have been dragged through the mud: hi, John Carter and the Star Wars sequels. Yet, because Jim Cameron says this is great, people fall for it? There are so many cringe worthy moments in the first 30 minutes alone - I can't see how anyone could justify this movie as anything other than eye-candy/expensive trash. Pixar makes more realistic flicks with much better storytelling than this run-of-the-mill-white-man-of-the-90s-stupidly-saves-people-on-accident story. There are no memorable characters. There are very few characters with redeeming qualities. And there are countless stupid dialogue moments. It's a lazy white-savior story with a lot of money behind it to make it pretty. But hey, hey folks - spoiler: it's all about 'unobtainium'. If you think that sounds really cool then this film is for you! If it sounds as stupid as it really is...well, then, you already know that this movie is just as dumb! It's real a bummer that this film exists. It's worse that it's so successful that he's encouraged to make more of this garbage. ...and people knock in Marvel flicks... This is trash. It's the tribal tattoo of movies; a mistake.",4 This somehow manages to be worse than its predecessor. Please never watch this.,1 "I'm not really sure what i just watched. it just kind of meanders thru a plotless collection of scenes where Pitt looks cool, Dicaprio shows off his acting chops, and Robbie is just there. They also fill in a bunch of time with actual footage from movies and tv shows ( kind of like the infamous family guy cutaways that go on forever). The best parts of this movie revolve around the Manson family scenes & Brandy the dog...that's it. other than that, it barely kept my attention. also, please stop giving Lena Dunham work...she is dreadful.",4 "Listen, Christopher Nolan is a very talented director; most of his movies are good, some are rather great, but only one film he's made has really felt that it had a bow wrapped around it, and that was ""The Dark Knight"". Dunkirk fell the shortest of this achievement, while still being immaculately beautiful and a tremendous technical accomplishment. This is the biggest film shot on IMAX and 70mm, both, to ever be released. Dunkirk told a painstakingly true story of World War II, in a new way, with very little dialogue (and when there was any it was very plot heavy), little personality in characters, and contained feeble amount of emotional moments. Dunkirk just wasn't what I want out of any film. I appreciate going against conventions, many of my favorite directors and film are know to do that. But still, I seek a more emotional connection than this repetitive, near documentary style war film. It was kinda boring. Character, ethos, and anticipation are what mostly keeps me interested in a film. And for those things to be established, characters usually need to speak about something other than the plot. The cinematography while containing some stunning, and beautiful shots, was in all not overly brilliant. I was a big fan of the close ups, the ultra wides that just look beautiful on large format film!, and a few others scattered throughout. I've seen better dog fights. I served it's purpose. The color grading was amazing however! And the sound was stellar, honestly some of the best gunshot and bomb sounds effects I have ever heard. For all of these things is why this film gets a 7 instead of a 6. But where it counts, in the story, this film just does not fulfill my desires, nor my expectations for Nolan. Like Interstellar, there is still an empty hole in this film, something isn't quite tightly wound. It was a great undertaking of a film, and a new technical frontier for what is possible with large format, still when you compare this to another true story like Titanic, I can surely imagine that there could have been a more emotionally involved way of telling Dunkirk. When side by side, this is one of my least favorite Nolan films, ie. the Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, The Prestige, Batman Begins, Momento, heck I'm still debating it over Dark Knight Rises.",7 "Avatar as a visual exercise is a masterpiece,however that should not distract from the terrible dialogue and boring storyline.It is an overlong and dreary rehash of a story that has been done before. The only character I could relate to was colonel Quaritch,about halfway through this funeral of a film I was hoping he'd succeed in slaughtering the blue shits and end the film. Unfortunately Its a Disney money making piece of sh-it, with hundreds of millions spent on marketing to convince the unwashed masses to put down their cheese burgers and turn off the X-factor/American idol.So the ""good guys"" have to win and colonel Quaritch dies(*sob*) before he can kill the human traitors and save the world. Only see this if you HAVE never seen 3D,other then that its a waste of time.",4 "Another geriatric movie hyped up by media as great, when in fact its terrible, slow, and rather than action it's just narrated. A sad disappointment for anyone who enjoys mafia movies or crime movies of any kind. Further, I can vaguely guess that there isn't a single script-important actor in this film that's under 65 years old. It's TIRED. The entire thing is TIRED. Trying to watch it, is even tiring. I can say that the actors are talented and that they portray their characters well but you constantly have to force yourself to ignore the make up slapped on with a putty knife, and the antiquated skin and the dull eyes. You can't not see how awfully old everyone is in this cast. The entire thing is narrated and if it wasn't for the occasional ( and I do mean RARE) bit of action, you may as well advertise it as a bed time story since the lackluster story surely will put anyone in a relaxed state.",3 This movie is pretty boring and the age changing special effects are weird at best. Robert Deniro's face is strange looking and even when he is portrayed as younger. He still walks like an 80 years old man. Get another actor and a stunt double for Christ's sake. The movie is way too long. Al Pacino does not look or act anything like Jimmy Hoffa.,4 "This is one of the best show till date. Amazing performance by everysingle member in team! And such class dialogues and their delivery! Hats off. Each episode is a delight to watch and it keeps getting better with every single minute. The references they make will make you nostalgic and you if you have been a part of anything they mention in the show you will just relive thosr moments again. A perfect combination of comedy, drama and romance. And a perfect display of relationships beween friends, family and partner. A distant fan :)",10 "I was really looking forward to this series because I really enjoyed Game of Thrones. However, the lighting in this series is horrible. In most scenes, it is impossible to see who is cheating on who and with who. My husband and I spent more time trying to figure out what was going on, that we lost the story line. Occasionally they show the characters in the light doing things, but then it is back to no lights. It became impossible to follow the storyline when you can't see the people in the story. I've read that the darkness is part of the storyline, but they have gone way too far - when you can't tell who is who.",2 "Karthi career best performance , awesome story, Loves the film alot. Lokesh kanakaraj extraordinary direction.",10 "OK- I wouldn't rate alle the parts with 9 stars, but most of them. Scary science fiction that is a good critique of the dark side of modern scientific advances that are changing our society or about to change it.",9 "Except for Tom Middleton, there is not much to enjoy. It's boring in storyline, Owen Wilson, supporting characters/actors, action, etc. The second Marvel serie as with Wanda and the Vision, seriously highly overrated. What a quality the Marvel films were the last years.",6 "Omg, same pattern as the first movie, full of stereotypes, humans are all bad guys and bring destruction wherever they go and there is no different because different are special people. Nice special effects - for heaven's sake - but it's exactly like the first film, only in the sea. The blood of demons and half-bloods, the racism of the different, the younger and imperfect and rebellious brother but capable of ""seeing beyond the schemes"" and in short, always the same story already seen and reviewed a thousand other times. Avatar 2 is a heated soup full of stereotypes, frankly I expected much more after all this waiting...",4 Tatti lovers will give more than 2 stars to this movie,1 "I really loved this show. Everything about it was amazing. At first some unspecified romantic entanglements bothered me a bit, but I realized how it was necessary in further episodes and fully loved the whole thing. The only thing we need now...is to start a petition for there to NOT be an American remake of this show. It is perfect the way it is, it is on Netflix to be watched in America already, so just leave it alone please!",8 "Movies like Tumbbad, Badhaai Ho, Andhadhun indicates an elusive renaissance going on within Indian cinema, URI: The Surgical Strike is no different. It's hard to believe that this has been Aditya Dhar's first directional debut. Many will draw contrast with Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty or Clint Eastwood's American Sniper, yet stories based on true events do have very similar take on chronicle. Rarely do we get chance to see movies on Indian Army, leaving aside few like Vijeta -1982] or Prahaar -1991 most of them are plagued with forced chest thumping, flawed tactics making them not worth the time or dime. Even though the plot is based on true events on URI attack back in 18th September 2016 tailed by tactical retaliation by Indian Para Special Forces, its quite evident some liberty has been taken by the production unit for the sake of making the subject easily accessible to the civil population. A bar has been set on how the action movies should be made in India, Mitesh Mirchandani's cinematography is phenomenal coupled with a powerful title track from Shashwat Sachdev. 2018 has been a decisive year for Indian cinema, where content has been given rank over no brainer star cast filled films; 2019 might witness a similar trend. The sheer effort tied with intense acting from cast like Vicky Kaushal & Mohit Raina, realistic action & haunting title score makes this a must watch experience on big screen. Finally a true homage to our brothers-in-arms in Indian Para SF.",9 "And, definitely THE worst movie that most people liked! Absolute rubbish.",1 "I had high hopes when starting this series. It had everything I enjoy. Then the writers just started to bring out all the Hollywood clichés one by one. Military father has a communication issue with his son who is good enough to be selected for a space mission but he doesn't even know how to pick a rock from the floor... I enjoyed the alien AI machine's struggle to fit in, in the beginning. Then it just became a child's movie, where the kid forces the machine to kill itself after it tried to defend itself from an armed attack. I checked the script writers after episode 6, it turns out they are the same writers from POWER RANGERS.. I am disappointed. Please hire propriete script writers in the season 2. I will try to finish the season 1 but believe me this is hard to watch... You writers are underestimating the intelligence of the viewers.",2 I never thought I d encounter an anime that could rival Deathnote but AOT easily does it. Exhilarating from the first episode and doesn't let you down throughout.,9 "Even though this movie is based on a book by an actual ex CIA agent, the main problem I had with it was that it felt over the top at times. E.g. Extreme training methods that could have easily been accomplished by less cruel manners, or the attractiveness of 'sparrows' being a 100% hit rate. Once it was over, I thought that I really couldn't see it playing out like that (and not in the good way of not seeing certain developments coming). However, it kept me at the edge of my seat due to good acting and exciting plot. Jennifer Lawrence is really solid as a lead, because she basically has to carry the story, but - and I completely respect she had coaching for this - the Russian accent was a little bit distracting to me. Perhaps because I'm used to seeing her in different roles, because I'm no expert on Russian accents, but it still kept my mind busy while watching. It was really enjoyable watching Lawrence lose her temper in certain scenes, whereas the more ""I am completely in controle of my emotions, therefore I have no facial expression"" moments felt a bit dull at times. The story is about her forced decent into this aweful job as a femme fatale spy and how she becomes both pawn and player on both sides. The story had twists that were really satisfying, but it felt like a bit too many plot twists/reveals near the end, which is ashame because the movie felt a bit too long in the middle (so maybe they could have distributed the bits of new information more evenly paced). I also have to admit that character development was low and the overall message was a bit too much 'emancipation of a power woman yay', instead of a more personal and fleshed out main character finding her way of emancipating from her oppressors. In short, I was doubting between a 6 or 7, but I would recommend this film for a thrilling movie night, so I went with a 7!",7 "This series was a very interesting one in the way that Marvel made stories out of the Marvel multiverse. I found all stories to be great and some are retellings of the same stories we know but with different scenarios. It was great to see some of the main actors come back to voice over their characters, and it was great seeing what happens in different multiverse, with some fan theories in these What If's. I do think the zombie one was the most intriguing as that is the most well know what if story in marvel, so it was cool seeing that brought into animation, speaking of animation I really liked it and it was a cool style.",7 "Only good VE and Sound, the story is absolutely dumb from the start, like a children book, and no real logic and reasoning behind the entire story line , certainly does not deserve the current ratings.",2 "I like the show ..but storytelling is poor. If I compare it GOT, both have good story background, both have good actors, both have good cinematography, but GOT made its story simple thats why people got more connected. This shows has the potential, just try to be simple",6 Season 2 not good as compare to season 1. I enjoyed every episode of season 1. But season 2 not that interesting.,3 "Good show. Bacon overacts a bit but is good. Cast is good with a good story. But the accents! I live in Boston, grew up here and never heard anyone speak like this.",7 "Let's face it, the murder mysteries premise is a cover for comedy. With Martin and Short why waste your time. Too bad Selena is then left to be the 'straightman'. I'm glad a season is not 15 episodes because murder mysteries do require a lot of characters to produce a lot of red herrings. And that would have to be really dragging the plot out. To spice up season 2, many returns and connections was made to season 1. That is reasonable but it also seems to just to pad and fill. The building setting restrictions came into used a bit. But for sure it need to branch out of the clausophobia. I wish it could be a little smarter like the other great show, Mrs. Davis.",7 "100% worth the wait. If you don't want an exhausted looking Tom Hardy to argue with himself for over an hour, this isn't for you. If you hated the first one you'll hate this own even more. All the actors were fantastic, my only complaint was it could've been longer.",10 "I am currently half way through the first episode and although the visuals are pretty good the entire cast is awful. Beside the obvious ""pc"" stuff In the show the characters themselves are unwatchable. All of them have no intriguing, defining or redeeming qualities or traits. The characters are written with such idiocracy from the dick/ pushover father to the only daughter who is a different color in the show for some reason who is also unbearable. The mom is so dull it's almost impossible to watch them. I am just gonna stick with the original series or watch the film with John hurt... way better... I wish Hollywood would stop ruining things.",1 "Kung Fu Hustle is one of many high rated modern Chinese movies where I don't understand how comes it's so well received and critically acclaimed in the whole wide world. I must admit that the movie kicks off with a couple of solid jokes and some sympathetic characters that may addict you. The first twenty minutes or so are entertaining and promising. But the downward spiral starts soon after. The lazy, stereotypical but somewhat sympathetic character of the main hero's corpulent friend almost disappears. The fight scenes move away from aesthetics and get more and more random, ridiculous and unreal. The plot development is strange but not in a good sense. The dialogues are thin and seem as if they were written in a hurry. We get some horrible special effects towards the end that add the little cherry on the top of your cheese cake. I'm aware of the fact that this movie somewhat wants to parody the stereotypes of classic Chinese and Hongkong Kung Fu movies. I'm a big fan of these old films and I have no problem with a good comedy or a solid homage to them. This movie is not an original parody with many déjà-vu moments but a very childish attempt to attract a larger public. The jokes work in the beginning but the same ideas are repeated all the time and we get to see more and more exaggerated fighting techniques with over the top slapstick moments throughout the whole movie. Many movies that mix martial arts with comedy fail to find a good balance between both styles and I don't like most of these attempts but this film here is one of the worst attempts to combine these two genres. I usually adore Asian humour a lot, especially in many South Korean movies but this one is comparable to the bunch of Hollywood parodies that came out when Scary Movie rose to fame. In the end, I would only recommend this movie to somebody that laughs about anything and almost only watches any kind of comedy movies. Any fan of the artistic side of martial arts or modern Chinese cinema should stay away from this superficial embarrassment.",3 Seriousl!! Its not like a dhaka.i think its somalia,1 "Wow,, had a great start,, but just had to monolog it up,, stereo type everything,, and everybody.. when you going to hire people with imaginations and logical thought to make a story right,, .. my pet opossum has more original character development than this same old ,, you stole so much from the movie from years ago,, these people where put through huge amounts of training, and they still act like fools and idiots.. well i wish you luck in finding some real writers and they have half a brain tomake a decent story that has not been told a thousand times already !!!",4 "This is the first review I have written for IMDb, but I was so shocked, so very very shocked at how utterly utterly bad this was in the face of such a high rating, I felt I had to voice my opinion as a public service, to prevent others from going through what I just went through. I feel conned after looking at this particular IMDb rating. I find IMDb ratings are usually quite reliable, but not this time. I am not going to give ANY spoilers, I am just going to say that if it was someone's intention to make something as dire as possible, then then this was achieved. Everything about this was bad. I cannot believe how this got the ratings it did. How on earth could anyone rate this higher than awful. If you decided to try this, and a third of the way through you think to yourself 'surly it can't be this bad, it has to get better' then I am sorry to say you will be sorely disappointed. It doesn't get better. When you start to think to yourself that this story is unrealistic, un-ironic, and beyond awful believe me when I say you that that's the best it's gonna get, & trust me when I say it won't ever get that good again, just worse, much much worse. Give up with it, and find something else to watch. My best advice will be, please, don't bother with this at all. You've been warned!!!",1 "The first episode starts out pretty good. I liked the pace. Then it time hops and all I could think about was TWD. TWD started off strong then fizzled out. This feels like it could be really good, but if it's nonstop fighting the infected, then it's going to get old fast. It needs to show some kind of pursuit of a cure; again I haven't played the game. I'm not a fan of the girl Playing Ellie, she's pretty obnoxious honestly. Also, It might just be me but why do shows have to have so much obscene language? Does every other word in a heightened intense moment need to be ""F"" this ""F"" that, ""F"" you??? It's a bit moronic to be honest. Intelligent people don't talk like that nonstop. I just finished watching ""A Quiet Place"" & ""A Quiet Place II"" and those movies have hardly any spoken lines and they were amazing!!! Have to see how this one plays out but I'm extremely pessimistic.... Not my cup of tea for sure. But I'm sure I'm not the only one who will agree. I know there will be ""die hard fanboys/game boys that this offends but oh well... I'll sleep good tonight...lol.",3 "It's a great movie. I recommend it to young, old everyone. It's definitely a movie you should watch.",7 "I enjoyed the first Venom, it wasn't amazing by any stretch but enjoyable and to date the best movie iteration of him so far. I like Tom Hardy good actor and the back & forth between him & venom added a good element to the movie. However in this it seems like they tried waaay to hard to push that part and it just got overly goofy and painful to watch. It became less they type of Venom movie I was expecting to more of a slap stick movie. Tom Hardy's character kept talking/saying type of lisp/voice that I heard once or twice in the first movie but seemed to come out A LOT more in this one. Became bothersome and again seemed like they were trying to push it.. whatever IT is. The comedy bits in the first one worked for me.. they weren't overly pushed and again goofy. This one just felt like they saw it worked so they tried to cram too much of it in. Maybe others will enjoy it but for me it was a miss.",4 Very good sets but I was yawning half way through. the ending was the best bit (when it eventually finished). I'm obsessed with war history but struggled with this one :0( but they captured the look perfectly.,3 "This film is like 70% copy of the legendary Truman Show. If you wanna see a great film instead of a good film, watch Truman Show.",4 "Very very slow...2 episodes in and abandoned. Lack8ng in every department. Acting, storyline, character development.....rubbish.",1 "This movie tried to be more than it was. One liners and overused action sequences, and camera angles does not carry a movie for me. The actors are great but script and the directing seemed overly predictable to make it minimally entertaining to me. Would classify it as an unimaginative movie.",2 "This miniserie draws you in the moment it starts. The sound, visual the editing all make you feel uneasy. The hours just fly by as you witness what happens. The actors all did a great job. you will care about them. They all speak english, which was a great choise.(it has been done before so nothing new here but the actors dont have to act an accent) this feel like saving private ryan /band of brothers level of realism. grim saturated with beautiful photo. The only dull moment is when it all goes black and the directors name appears. cause you will want more.",9 "As far as scope and size of a film is concerned, The Godfather Part II is a lot different than The Godfather I. It shows the extent to which a mafia family would go in order to eliminate its enemies. This is just one of several opinions a viewer can have about this film. It is for this reason there is nothing like brotherly love. A brother who has betrayed his brother has to be able to face the brother who has been betrayed. The viewers get to see the games which mafia bosses and politicians play with each other. It is amazing to watch how politicians squeeze gangsters finally in order to make quick money. They are also around when a mafia network decides to extend its operations from USA to Cuba. However, it would be perfectly fine to state that this film is also an extension of the concerns that were raised in The Godfather I. Director Francis Ford Coppola was right in choosing to direct two parallel stories in order to establish the presence of Corleone family in viewers' minds. There is a caveat related to the use of Italian language. The lack of subtitles when Italian is spoken by actors makes the comprehension of the film difficult as not everybody can be expected to know Italian.",6 "When I first watched this in late 2016, I thought It was okay and I didn't think it was going to be that special, but like 10 episodes in I couldn't stop watching. I had a hard time waiting for season 2 and when it dropped I was nervous to see if it could hold up to the masterpiece that was the first season. And when I watched I was so happy. The second season was as good, if not better than the first one. And the third season kept surprising me too. It was so cool to see everything from Dekus perspective, that he had no super powers but everyone else did. And then all might helped him. It was so good. So to all of you anime fans that loves shounen classics such as Naruto, Dragon ball and one piece, please do yourself a favor and watch this masterpiece. Cause I really think that this is up there with Death note and Full metal alchemist brotherhood as one of the best anime of all time.",7 "The MCU is in decline. There can be no doubt about it. It's products have taken a sharp decline in overall quality, with crushing failures like Secret Invasion and possibly great stories reduced to mediocre television (Quantumania, Moon Knight, etc). And then there's Loki. This is the only Disney+ show I would consider a true success. It's first season delivered the best product we had seen so far in a Marvel TV show, but it had problems, such as some real inconsistency with Loki's character and abilities, and an overbearing focus on Sylvie at times. But the ending, setting up the Multiverse Saga, more than made up for its earlier flaws. And then we get to Season 2, which, in my opinion, boosts this show to a level of quality we desperately need. I remember early reviews were negative, and I thought this series had fallen into the almost AI-like cookie cutter formula everything else Marvel produces now has. But it didn't, and honestly improved upon the first season, bringing the focus fully back to Loki himself, and ending the series with some of the most striking imagery and storytelling in the post-Endgame era. This show's combination of quirky humor, character-driven storytelling, and hard sci-fi a la Everything Everywhere All At Once, Doctor Who, and Rick and Morty (minus all the cringy gross-out jokes and overbearing ""edginess"") transcends almost everything else made since Endgame. It's on a level with No Way Home and GotG 3, and is matched only by the latter in terms of its creative exploration of old characters we know and love. What a show. The only sad thing is that it's bogged down by being connected to the same universe where trash like ""The Marvels"" is being put out as a standard-bearer. Just hire the Loki writers to write Kang Dynasty and Secret Invasion. It's the only real way to go forward.",8 If you are looking for lots of action then this is the movie for you.Good and raw action.But if you want a good story too then this movie may fall short for you.Story's not bad but just decent.,7 "Overblown, overhyped, tedious, achingly boring, plodding, pompous and beautifully choreographed lemon.",3 "Just another predictable american heroes movie. I would add another star if the story was truthful. Nah, skip that one folks.",4 "I have a ton of respect for Jon Favreau, but he seriously missed it on this one. Past live action remakes Disney have been very good - Cinderella is hands down is my favorite and I like it better than the animated one. But the difficulty this movie faced was translating human emotion into live action CGI animals. It really just falls flat. Which I don't understand, because I thought Jungle Book was really well done and didn't suffer from that problem. And despite the star power, none of the voice acting was impressive. Scar's ""Be Prepared"" song was shortened and really just spoken, and not in a Jeremy Irons way that entertains. The rest of the singing was just ok too. Nothing makes me want to watch this movie again. It's slow and frankly just boring.",3 "I thought this film was awful. Yes the acting was good but when weighed against the 104 minutes of not knowing what the hell is going on and with the dialogue meaning I didn't understand half of what the actors were saying, I was just happy when it ended. Sorry.",2 "I know it's a good movie. It's sincere. But I still want to say that I really don't like it. For me, it was so boring that there was almost no story. The repeated despair and hope, the infinite loneliness, is very tormenting.",6 "Just another new age ""quirky"" movie they are trying to sell as funny.",1 "Really loved the sound effects - the planes, the sea, the bullets pinging past. The rest was utter dross. Baffled by the rave reviews, 2018 is a new record low for standards.",2 "I was a little apprehensive going to watch this film after watching the trailer and knowing who the director was (I wasn't the biggest fan of the recent James bond film spectre). I was preparing myself for an overly dramatic and glorified war movie which in parts it was, but I must admit I thought they did a good Job! I liked how the movie was shot, it really felt as if I was accompanying the protagonists of the movie step by step. It conveyed a very intermate expirience between the protagonists and the viewer coupled with some thrilling and nailbiting cinematics causing me to pull off some grimising facial expressions throughout. I wasn't completely convinced with the acting, there's a particular scene involving Dean-Charles Chapman (lance cpl. Blake) that I wasn't too impressed with but maybe that's just me. I felt asif I was more emersed into George Mackey's character (lance cpl. Schoefeild) perhaps unfairly I found myself comparing their acting performances to Joaquin Phoenix's Joker as that was the last film I watched in the cinema xD they're two completely different films mind! Overall - If you don't mind abit of an overly dramatic and glorified war movie and enjoy an intense thrilling cinematic expirience it'll be worth your while getting a cinema ticket! It's gripping from start to finish with some great shots. I still rate Hurt locker a better war movie but it's in there with the likes of Fury, black hawk down and saving private Ryan.",7 "I've seen the first four seasons and I must say it's one of the finest TV series I've ever seen. If you like thrilling action on the screen, you _must_ see this. Jack Bauer is a great character, but I was also very impressed by President Palmer, whose wisdom, calm and dedication to his country shall stay as an example for each people on this world who plays a leadership role. Besides that, the team spirit in the CTU, despite the high pressure and extreme situations they're facing is absolutely fantastic. I hope there will be a season 6, 7 and so on and I'm looking forward to watch them. Actors, crew, producers, a big THANK YOU for making this happen!",10 "Only for Marvell lovers, anyone else can better skip this. The movie is certainly watchable but it cannot be called good. The story is very simplistic, predictable and uninspiring. Somehow the super villain does not convince as someone powerful, especially compared to the endless amount of heroes. The battle in the end is totally ridiculous and feels like watching a whirlwind consisting of super hero diarrhea. Guardians of the galaxy at least was funny, this is not, its as waste of time unless you are a big fan of all those Marvell super hero's. However even then, more is not always better and that is certainly true here. Watching a movie with just one of them is almost guaranteed to be a much better experience. Even Scarlett Johansson cannot make up for this stinking pile of garbage and this is by far the worst movie starring her that I have seen and I have seen plenty.",4 "There's so many good things in this movie it's ridiculous. Great performances all around from Al Pacino, Talia Shire, Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall, Lee Strasburg, John Cazale and especially from Robert DeNiro who is the only one who could fill Marlon Brando's shoes. DeNiro does such a great job at acting as Brando's Vito Corleone that he won an Oscar. The first time two actors won an Oscar for playing the same character. Great writing by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola. Highly under-appreciated but great acting by Richard Bright and Bruno Kirby in bit parts. A well written score is a staple of this movie. Flawless directing of the two coinciding stories of young Vito Corleone and his aging son Michael as the heads of a powerful mob family. I especially love the scenes of young Vito Corleone as an up and coming mobster and wish there were more of them. I would have liked to know the orgins of Luca Brasi, Johnny Fontaine, and Tom Hagen. As well as Sonny's rise to power. The book covers Luca Brasi's orgins with the Corleone's but... This is a worthy sequel to the flawless movie The Godfather. Awesome.",10 "Taxi Driver had Robert De Niro play a role I've never seen him play before and maybe thats why I found this film so unusual. For the first twenty minutes or so you really have no idea what is going on, and that sort of the feeling I had through out the whole film. Yah there's this crazy guy who can't sleep, and wants to kill some important political figure, and is crazy about this girl. Thats about all I got from it. Id really need to watch this film a couple of times to try and grasp the message but as of right now I have no idea where Scorsese was trying to go with it. The things that just didn't sit right with me is why he brought the girl to the porno theater. Yah he might be a crazy mentally disappeared guy, but he still should have the common sense to not take a girl to a porno film. That part just drove me crazy. The second issue I had was how the hell did he survive that ordeal when he went in to free Jodie Foster character, and if he did survive how could they let him back into civilian population. Just didn't make sense to me. There were some positives I like all the POV shots and for a color film. I thought they did a great job of lighting, and all though i didn't understand De Niro's character I though he did a great job of making a believable crazy person. All though from first impression I didn't enjoy this film I would like to watch it again and maybe more grasp the message Scorsese is trying to send.",5 "It really follows the typical recipe from superheroes movies. It is boring and predictable. Great acting and special effects, but not much more. I will be updating this if I see any improvements.",3 "The first half was grest, but the last episode was a DISASTER!",1 "I think that Netflix's The Witcher has the potential to be a fantastic show, but desperately needs some re-tooling. Firstly, the plot is interesting enough but struggles with fluidity. There are time jumps that aren't made clear enough and result in lowered stakes thus a dip of interest in the characters. Yet, this is merely a small issue compared to their casting. Henry Cavill is an excellent Witcher, possessing the perfect amount of grit and heart necessary for the titling role. Following Henry Cavill's talent is his hilarious song-writing companion Jaskier (played by Joey Batey) who adds a bit of light to this dark tale and Yennefer (played by Anya Chalota) a disfigured sorceress who struggles with how others perceive her and her drive for power. However, other actors struggle by giving over-the-top performances and sophomoric delivery of their lines. When every word is given weight and everything starts at an intensity of 10 there is no place to go. It's as though some of the actors are in a whole other show reacting to another set of characters. Plus, the costuming (costumes by Tim Aslam) are very beautiful but weigh the characters down as they don't feel tailored to the actors as the characters and rather feel like pretty garments inspired by The Witcher. With that said, the show has excellent fighting scenes accompanied by superior sound effects that make you feel immersed in the fight with every rib crunching or skin slicing sound. The fighting is dynamic, almost like a character if it's own, that has quick and small beats that feel part of the story and not as a secondary element for shock value. Furthermore, the added magic is an interesting element but the special effects needs some improvement. It's not that that the magic is corny or horrible enough to take you out of the scene but it might bug those who are picky with the realism of special effects. Overall, it's worth a watch and with some adjustments could be a huge success.",7 "D Day Lewis is a good actor, but his films are just... Lincoln was only slightly interesting, and this one is just not my cuppa tea. 'I drink your milkshake', whatever that means. 'I see dead people' has more relevance. A movie like this is to be passed on if one wants something more thrilling. You drink my milkshake? Are you nuts? Have you any idea how unhealthy it could be? Goodbye, Daniel.",4 "They keep stretching so little information in 8 episodes, it's a shame. The good news is it's better than the first season AND the season finale is AMAZING.",5 It's great to see that finally Netflix and other platforms providing us the series we can actually watch.. A must watch.. Performances of actors are amazing and the directions is obviously great...,9 "If the Godfather is a masterpiece then this is a ""grand-masterpiece"". How often do you see a work of perfection in movies? After watching this movie,you can (at least) answer ""once"". The movie is the sequel and prequel to The Godfather as you all must know and shows the rise of Vito and Michael Corleone in two separate story lines. In this movie we see the rise of Vito Corleone to become The Godfather and how Michael Corleone expands his family business but we also see his moral degradation.In the Godfather we see Vito Corleone has no regrets for his deeds because he had maintained his virtues but in this movie Michael regrets his deeds very much because he has morally degraded(which we see at the end).This is a fair depiction of ""changing times"". If you want to see a movie that leaves you with doubts about right and wrong ,justice and injustice ,hero and villain ;do watch this movie.",10 "Please do not get discouraged by few negative reviews. The show is exquisite & needs patience & affection. Surely it runs slow but it gives you time to relish the deep nuances it throws at you. Being an Indian living in Hong Kong with a baby made me feel connect to different protagonists at different times. As an insider I can surely say its close to reality. Hong Kong is a community which welcomes exapats with open arms & there is genuinely no discrimination. The show tells the story of three women but more importantly shows a loving tale of Hong Kong. The direction is top notch, I am a fan of Lulu Wang for life now. Among the cast everybody is fantastic but Brian Tee, Sarayu Blue & Ruby are phenomenal. Give this show your time, it will enrich you in ways you did not expect. Don't miss it!",10 "I initially didn't really want to watch the movie for 3 reasons. 1 it didn't get a great reception at all. 2 the fake Russian accents when they speak English is nonsensical. They speak English all the time with this accent. At least they could maybe speak regular English when they were supposed to speak actual English and not fake Russian? 3 Jennifer Lawrence is an actress I just don't trust. Her lazy performance in X-Men was a big black spot in the movies and you really cannot trust such a person to deliver a good performance unless she somehow wants to so I have to guess if she wants to or not. She was totally arrogant about the X-Men role and other roles making me not really trust that she is a focused or smart actress. She made the discussion about the paycheck not the role. But she has done amazing work in Passenger for example. The movie turned out to actually be a decent spy flick and not as bad as I assumed it would be. There are some good tension-filled scenes here. And the Russian accents are not as irritating as you'd assume. They didn't really take away from the product. It's a 7/10 spy thriller, but it does have some issues. It's a complicated plot where you never know who wants what. That makes it hard to root for any side. They did it to add some mystery, but it just makes us not care for the people which is a 10 times bigger issue. There are also overblown scenes that are completely unrealistic. This is nothing how spy work works. This is not even how USSR spy work works. This is an exaggerated version of KGB, but just way worse. What they do in this movie could start a war. It's completely insane and nonsensical. All Hollywood. You also have scenes that are not connected. We see one scene and then the characters are in another city or doing something totally different and you wonder what the hell happened. They also spoke about secret matters in their apartments not even caring about any mics as they don't exist in this universe. But why I gave it a 6 instead of 7 is because it has a disgusting torture scene in it. I'm not a fan at all. I get that some may not find it too horrible. It's just that I personally dislike watching this stuff so I rate such movies lower. For most adults this would be a fine enough watch, but nothing hugely fun. The plot unfolds behind the scenes. You won't really follow the plot it will be releveled at the very end. At that point I'm not impressed. Sure you kept this hidden from the viewer. But I would be way more impressed if you made a really fun movie instead of thinking you made a really clever one. Overall I did enjoy watching it in most scenes, but I won't really be recommending it unless you don't mind R rated stuff.",6 "This movie was very close to home, seeing the struggles of living with skitzophrenia. Even the struggles that the wife goes through. As much as it's a sad story line what a nice ending. The film is very well wrote out, very well acted.",7 "I'm a massive Tarantino fan and was really disappointed with this film, sadly it's the worst out of all of his creations. There is no story, and boring dialogue and long scenes without dialogue. I kept clock watching.",4 "I can see how one or two of the jokes could've potentially been funny, but they must have been extinguished by the limp pacing and some genuinely bad acting. This movie has no energy. I won't go into the plot much because it just a very predictable Hollywood story. It is actually an extremely average romantic comedy in every respect (except for the male-genital exposure) but I had to take a star off of the rating because it is not so good on the technical side. The director, who has no other directing credits, managed to make a movie set in Hawaii with a good-sized budget that looks cheap. I've never noticed things like the direction or the editing in a comedy before but they stand out in a very bad way in ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall."" I probably would have enjoyed it more if the characters had any charm. The movie expects you to feel sympathy for the main character, but it's never earned. He has a cozy job ""composing"" mood music for a TV cop show. In his spare time, he just lounges around doing nothing. His girlfriend is a TV star and he cries (quite literally) like a baby when she dumps him. I think the 40-year-old virgin had more testosterone than Jason Segel's character. Steve Carell was also likable and actually made you root for him. Watching Segel's self-loathing character mope around sadly when you know he's inevitably going to be with the beautiful Mila Kunis becomes tiresome. There are other obnoxious, unfunny characters. These are not people I would want to be stuck on a tropical island with... ...or even spend another 112 minutes with.",4 "This is a period piece with two lighthouse workers in the late 1800s on what seems like the American east coast. The entire movie is in a 4:3 aspect ratio (or something similar), in full black and white, with primarily two actors throughout the film. The dialogue is sometimes hard to understand but not so much that it ruins the movie. But your mileage may vary in understanding what these characters are saying. If you can swallow that pill, there's more. Unfortunately, the two characters spend most of their time intoxicated later in the film, making their slurred speech and mindless ramblings harder to understand. And unless you're into late 1800s men's locker room banter, you'll probably not find much of the dialogue that funny or interesting. The audio mixing and cinematography are fairly good. Both Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson give outstanding performances. But I can tell by the look on their faces they did not enjoy shooting these scenes. Both men look physically and emotionally drained throughout the whole film. They spend most of the film drenched in seawater and torrential rains, if not endlessly smoking and drinking with each other inside a small shack. It's relatively slow-paced and quiet. A24 seems to like these kinds of movies. It's some recreation of a 1940s or 1950s film style, which I don't think most people are asking for. I at least appreciate the bold choice. It's different from most modern movies you'll watch. This is a well-made movie with terrible writing, dialogue, and questionable artistic choices. They give Willem entertaining monologues, but his character is so unlikeable that I don't care. By the end, I was hoping for something redeeming at all but got nothing when the credits rolled. I want to say this movie is trying to communicate something more profound, but I don't feel like it even tries.",5 Super motivational movie. I've watched it 3 times. Awesome performance by Farhan Akhtar presenting us the life of 'The Flying Sikh' of India. A must watch.,10 "Nothing can be contrasted when it accompanies Nation. It isn't the Movie that awed me, its the endeavors which were made by our Indian Army to cut down the Terrorist activities. What a courage taken by every single Person to make this task effective. India is calm until the point when it is needed.",10 "Personally, I cannot recommend the early seasons of Black Mirror enough. They were a revelation, offering genius and thought-provoking content that left a lasting impact on me. The show's ability to delve into the dark side of technology and society was unparalleled, making each episode a haunting and unsettling experience. However, as an avid viewer, I was left deeply disappointed when the show started to lose its original roots. The transition to American production seemed to dilute the essence of what made Black Mirror so special. The distinct British touch, which brought a unique charm and social commentary to the stories, began to fade away. The later episodes, influenced by the Americanized approach, felt less daring and more formulaic. The narratives became predictable, and the shocking twists and turns that once defined the series became scarce. It seemed as if Black Mirror had succumbed to the pressures of appealing to a broader audience, sacrificing its artistic integrity in the process. While I acknowledge that art and creative decisions are subjective, for me, the magic of Black Mirror started to fade as it strayed further from its original brilliance. The show's earlier seasons remain a testament to its ability to provoke thought, challenge societal norms, and ignite conversations about the perils of technology. In conclusion, I highly recommend indulging in the first seasons of Black Mirror, savoring their genius and thought-provoking narratives. However, I must caution against expecting the same level of impact as the series progresses. As it veers into a more Americanized territory, it loses the spark that made it a groundbreaking and captivating experience..",9 "The Godfather part 2 gets very close to the title for best sequel ever made, but not quite. Even so, I would rank this among the superior films to follow up on another and still be as strong and appealing and dramatically satisfying as the former. The structure of the film is also very important as it jumps back and forth between two stories of Corleone's without any disconnected feelings for the audience. Both could work as perfect single films on their own; together it's like a double album of the dark side of crime and the perilous nature of rising up in America as an immigrant. It's spectacular in many ways, masterpiece in fact, and has become as important as the first one (it is the only sequel to win an Oscar for best picture in those terms) and the acting all around is well-knit (even the pioneer himself Lee Strasberg is on hand as Roth), the score is possibly better in some ways to the first film, and most of the scene work is fantastic. One thing that attracted me to this film is also what I believe is one of the all-time great breakthrough performances in any film, as Robert De Niro as Vito Corleone has all of that confidence as an actor without channeling too much Brando. If there would be one reason to see the film and recommend it it would be because of him, as he gives one of his tour de force career turns in that streak of one after another in the 70s. Pacino is practically as good with enough lines that are realistically grounded but also highly quotable at times (the ""in my home"" bit is priceless). John Cazale, by the way, is also an element to make the film work as one of two performances that he'll be remembered for twenty years down the line (the other being Dog Day Afternoon). In short, it's just a very well done picture.",10 "The movie is just your normal run of the mill post Apocoliptic film, but now they main characters are blind. The acting is very bad. The story is bad",5 "Stick to season one! It was weirdly funny and fresh, well, as much as we can expect nowadays. However, season 2 is pure garbage, really tried to stick to it mostly in denial that something good can flip to trash from 1 season to the next. I kept telling myself that there must be something coming, right? After S2 E5, I had to give up. Story wasn't going anywhere, and frankly, it was painful to watch. This was a 1 season show! I often get frustrated shows I like get cancelled without closure but in this case, frustration came from the fact that there was a second season and that it ruined my feel for the entire show! Averaged my rating to 5 - 9 for S1 and 1 for S2 as we can't give it the ZERO stars it really deserves.",5 "This rating is for first two episodes only.. Have to see whether they maintain the same tempo on coming episodes. Humour is good. Screen presence is very nice. Fx are nice.. Hope they keep politics and preaching away.",9 "I loved GoT Season 1 to 6. I was a huge fan of the Night King character and felt they did that character zero justice. There is your context for why I rated this 6/10. I expected it to be better than it was. This was too obvious, whereas GoT was not (initially). The pacing wasn't great either - huge leaps in time and frankly I couldn't get invested in any of the characters. Don't watch this if you're looking for a gem of a character like GoT spoilt us with (take your pick, there were many really interesting characters). Worth a watch, but it isn't as good as it could have been. On the positive side, it is again a beautiful world and setup. The dragons were cool but even that was a bit too obviously CGI (in other words, attention to detail was lacking). The music was probably the best bit of this as it was very much in the correct theme of GoT. Lastly, some of the acting is great, so props to the cast.",6 "I watched this one for Natasha and was not disappointed at all. In fact, the whole cast is just perfect. The story had just the right pace - the plot builds slowly but also takes you unawares at times. The title track is bomb and strangely comforting and goes very well with the groundhog day theme. If time loops are your thing, then this can be a nice one-time binge.",8 "Not bad, but not great either. There were plenty of better whodunit movies better than this. The movie is quite long over 2 hours and I got bored and wanted it to end soon. The ending and the suspense was ok.",6 In. This movie I like action very much And in this movie laughing seen a lot I seen this movie recently I enjoyed this a lot.,10 This movie could have been done in 30 minutes. Terrible waste of money and a total snooze fest.,1 "First of all this is one of the most disappointing movies of 2017, I really do not understand why this movie has an IMDb rating of 8.1, also because almost all comments are rating below 3. Second of all the story of this movie and the way they shown it is truly terrible. Back to the IMDb rating 8.1, is this movie really comparable with movies like: Hacksaw Ridge, 12 years a slave, Into the Wild, Shutter Island, No Country for Old men??? Just NO WAY.",4 "Was really looking forward to this having read critics reviews. However while there is no doubt this depicts the terrible practices of slavery it is a horrid way to spend a Saturday night - and to what effect. Steve McQueen (the director not the great actor whose fame he is possibly benefiting from)undoubtedly knows how to create emotion in the crudest of ways using scenes which would abhor any fair person. However there is very little signs of skillful film making just a formulaic hitting of peoples emotional and moral buttons. We came out feeling drained, like after the worst day in 10 years at work or worse. Would not recommend friends pay to feel the same. Can not imagine a mental state where someone would see this and feel better. Advice; avoid - please let me know if anyone felt different after seeing.",1 "I just finished watching Season 1, and I have no idea why this show is getting good ratings. Visually, very cool. Story, meh - it was slow, boring, and predictable. Unlike ""Game of Thrones"" (pre last season), there was complexity and intrigue. Season 1 of HoD would have been condensed to one episode, maybe two, of GoT. But, unlike GoT, most of the key characters are replaced due to age issues, making it tough to remember who is who, from episode to episode, and even worse, the plot is so thin, there is no reason to remember them anyway. It's like a worse version of the Hobbit: A small book that was stretched too much. This is a very thin story, without any of the complexity, depth, or intrigue which made GoT so great (aside from Season 8). For me, it missed as a drama, adventure, and sci-fi. I'm glad I'm done, but I miss the 10 hours I'll never get back.",1 "A definitive send off for Wolverine, and a well made piece of work, with good acting and a very heavy going quota of emotional baggage. Almost enough baggage to sink a ship that has a pretty slight and simple story, few important characters and a heavy handed approach to the characters emotional conditions. Also the film has a decidedly underwhelming villain and a less than imposing goon plus a gimmicky mirror baddie Wolverine. Direction and choreography are adequate for the task at hand and there is a well designed audio effects. The musical score follows the emotional morbidity of the films tone and never fails to reinforce the many opportunities for heart string plucking. The main gain for 'Logan' is from it's actors who mainly give excellent performances, particularly Patrick Stewart and young Dafne Keen; Hugh Jackman meanwhile has no problem portraying his character in absolute any condition required. 'Logan's reverence for old westerns, and particular references to 'Shane' have the unfortunate effect of giving characters most of their most poignant and illuminated dialogues, which humanise them the most, as quotes from that other film. This degree of transference is a trying side effect of being so heavily indebted to another film whilst your own has issues of minimally written story, situations and characters. I rate an even-stevens 5/10 for a strong valedictory send off for the Wolverine character and some very good acting performances. In the technical credits the film is sufficiently proficient to get through various fracas. An overloading of the films protagonists with grief and calamity beyond that which some actors have the time to humanise adequately with their portrayals and a sadly unsubstantial breed of villainy means that I can't rate higher.",5 "Deniro is outstanding in his role as Travis, but the movie itself is terribly weak. This movie is only rated as high as it is because Deniro is simply fantastic. But overall, this movie wets the bed. I wonder why so many people crave senseless plots? ""Are you talking to me,"" One of the best lines ever? For what reason? I simply don't understand the hype, and believe me, unless you are a dimwitted individual, you will agree with me. I was also perplexed by why Jodie Foster was nominated for best supporting actress. She is hardly in the movie. Martin Scorsese may be one of the most overrated directors in the business. Every movie is about gangsters, hookers, killers, drugs, booze, or troubled people. My bet is that he is a troubled individual.",2 "The story is not a big deal to be honest, sometimes it's also sloppy. If you are interested in the actors then maybe it's good choice for you. Otherwise there are better stuffs to watch, but it's not terrible, just kinda mediocre.",6 "Ok, it is fantastic that we have new stories about super heroes, but is it necessary that Falcon's sister cannot get credit from a bank??? Can you believe that?? Season two will be about sister struggling cause she cannot pay the money back.",8 I went into this hoping for the new True Detective season one and to start off with i was a little underwhelmed.The first two episodes start off a bit slow but do not fear this series soon picks up pace and its well worth the wait.Only being on episode five i can't really give it my full rating but judging by where its heading this could be a good start to 2020 for HBO.,8 "Season 3 is your regular stereotypical Hollywood crap. Same old story loops, multiple plots for different characters kind of feeling forced. Too much of forced emotions & comedy makes it dull. I don't like how the season 3 has been made more commercial rather than a plot that makes sense.",6 Unbelievably bland. A chore to sit through. I was able to make it to end in two sittings just because I really wanted to give it a chance but no. Don't waste your time.,2 But how can this film be nominated for an Oscar? But is it an adventure film (however boring adventure) or is it a war movie? I really cannot understand people giving rate of 10.,6 "Alert 🚨: readers who come through this review must notice that I didn't read the books or played the game, so my review will come as clean and neutral as the day my mother gave birth to me. First of all: lets just all take one second to thank and admire the people who worked on the VFX and the soundtracks. These two thing are the best things in this Netflix show. Now lets review : Episodes 1-3: good episodes, bit slow. The directors didn't focus on the story as they focused on the VFX and the soundtracks and thats why first 3 episodes have lower rating than the second half of the episodes (4-8). Notice im not saying they were bad, im just saying that it could been better. Episode 4: to be clear with you guys i watched episode 4 twice. The first time I understood the timeline but the second time I needed to watch it again just to know that im moving with show and not having any questions over ahed. Episodes 5-8: the real story and the real show. Directors focusing on the story and the dialogue more than the VFX and the soundtracks made me feel much better as i liked it more than the first 3 episodes. And i think people agree with me as the last 4 episodes have higher rating(9 and higher). To summarize: This show is great. Could been better like got. But its great just the way it is. The VFX, the soundtracks and most importantly the fighting scenes made me believe this show is from 2029 not 2019. It was very good. Hope season 2 will be much better. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 .",9 "An amateur attempt at trying to have a Indian counterpart of the brand, Shark Tank. Some of the ideas were really good, however the trope of all sharks jumping in for a deal and diluting the company ownership, was the regular theme. The guy from Boat felt a tad amateur for the show, the BharatPe guy had a review of one idea saying ""Yeh basically iska copy hai"", dude BharatPe itself is a plagiarized idea. All in all its a good background fodder. Also, poor Rannvijay being such a mascost for sponsers is such a shame.",3 "From the very beginning it is very obvious that the style of storytelling, cinematography, and the soundtrack were heavily influenced by the works of Stanley Kubrick. (Specifically, 2001...., A Clockwork Orange, & The Shining.) So much so that is difficult to determine Garland's intention. Was this an attempt at honoring Stanley Kubrick or was it just plain plagiarizing him with the hope that no one would notice? (Someone may want to check if Devs was an actual unused screenplay written by SK. I'm fairly certain this isn't the case, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to check.) (wink emoji) Also, I have to ask, why was a young women cast to play the part of Lyndon? Was there a shortage of young male actors available to play such a part? (Which I doubt), Imo, it was just a sneaky endorsement of gender neutrality which is a foolish leftist extreme void of common sense as they invite you to deny the fundamental basics of human biology. If I completely ignore the flaws mentioned above, I would have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the series. The truth is, had I been ignorant of Kubrick's works, Garland's Devs would have probably gotten an 8 or 9 but I'm not, therefore it gets a 5.",5 "I won't deny this is one of the best adaptations of a computer game I've ever seen. It blows Halo out of the water. Its seems HBO and Sony entertainment put some real thought and emotions into the adaptation of 'The last of us' and some real messages even though were only three episodes in. I loved all three of the episodes but the third has really stood out for me. Bill and nick really touched me, and even though it's the lowest rated episode so far I personally, loved it. They didn't go over the top and I was glad Joel didn't get into the bedroom. (Didn't want to see that honestly) Looking forward to the rest of the season, even if the episodes don't follow Joel and ellie directly I'm loving it. Well done to all.",8 "I am not much of an Anime buff, sure I watched my fair share when I was a teenager but most Animes simply do not grab as much as I would like. There is of course Akira and Ninja scroll and stuff like that people in general should watch at least once in their life. The only Anime TV show that I watched from the beginning was Fist of the North Star. A real classic in my opinion. Seems like I found another show that I consider already a classic in the making. I am proud to say after watching 3 Episodes of <>Attack on Titan<> I am blown away. The show is nicely paced, the whole plot is so simple, yet strong and the whole concept of having the human race, that consist of mostly German people or so it seems, locked up behind walls is really, really compelling. The art is superb and a joy to watch. From the Bavarian town over to the great painted landscapes, character design etc. It is all top notch in my opinion. Stuff like the charging Armored Titan is even for an old timer like just to cool to pass up. What a great scene that was. I cannot wait for the next episode.",9 "This series should be critisized by the political influenced people not by viewer. Logicless plot This series is manifesto card of communist party And above all funniest speech given by Mr. Falcon in end 😂",1 "As a remake, it tries to make a point on the dramatic side. It fails, perhaps because it presents many aspects to the story and develops none. Good acting from both leads and some nice music at the begining, though",2 "Great start to the show, lots of action and fast paced, we get to know a lot more about the falcon and bucky, a great addition to the marvel tv universe. Great ride",8 """Extraction"" follows a black ops mercenary Tyler Rake (played by Hemsworth) who must rescue an Indian drug lord's kidnapped son in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Being an action film, the strength of this film comes from the director being a stunt coordinator himself, which is evident in the film's excellent action. In addition to the fight choreography and action sequences being riveting and gripping, the stunt-work and physical performance by Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda is the highlight of this film - who manage to convince the audiences of them being skilled and trained military men. The films opens on its strength of great action and close combat sequence, hooking me within the first act itself without spending too much time in the exposition. However, the midpoint slows down in pace, in an attempt to build on the relationship between Tyler Rake and the kid he has rescued. The relationship doesn't come across as genuine - but rather a sentimentality that seems falsified, contrived for narrative purpose, which makes this portion all the more boring. The weakest aspect of this film are its subplots. Particularly, the plot-line with David Harbor's character ends up being inconsequential, without revealing anything important about the character or his past with Tyler. Another plot-line - about the kid's father being a drug lord - establishes an arc of their relationship that ends up abandoned and unresolved. Overall, the story of Extraction feels incomplete, with its resolution rushed for the sake of finishing the plot - which makes the screenplay of this film weak and forgettable. ""Extraction"" makes for a good casual watch, with exciting action but an unremarkable story that you probably won't remember in the coming weeks.",6 "..is wrong with you people? It seems that most ""smart"" viewers were so busy trying to keep up with the stupid plot that they had no mental energy left for common sense, taste or critical thinking. The experience became unbearable as soon as the first action scene of the lets-plant-the-idea-mission began. As an odd coincidence my nose started running at the same time - heavily and nonstop. Having no handkerchiefs with me I had to wipe it barehanded until the end of the movie! This in a theater full of poor people like me also misled by the hype. It was probably my immune system trying its best to make me leave the seat.",3 "What can I say? Growing up I was a massive Daredevil fan but in my later years fell from grace on that front. After watching the first episode of Daredevil, though? I'm all in. Acting was great. Was it perfect? No, but that, like this whole review, is an opinion. I thought Charlie Cox was great as Matt Murdock and seeing as I haven't seen Elden Henson since the Mighty Ducks days and The Mighty, he was also really good. The action sequences were tense and I honestly feared for Matt's life in some scenario's, which, as you all know, is damn near impossible when making a superhero movie or television show. I mean, c'mon. Are they ever REALLY in trouble? In this case, it felt like he was. I've heard some people have compared this to the likes of Arrow and I can see that, but is that a bad thing? Don't get me wrong, it definitely differs from Arrow, but the approach to the series is ALMOST in the same vein. Again, NOT a bad thing. All in all, I will be watching the rest of the series and I will be patiently waiting for Season 2. This show is truly a sight to see, unless your Matt Murdock... No? Alright, here's my rating. 8.8/10. Superb.",9 "Wow, this was fantastic, it exceeded my expectations as a kid and as an adult. If you have not seen this movie, then you need to make time and watch this movie, its a movie worth watching again and again, its funny, its sad, its great action, I LOVE IT! Overall, 10/10 FANTASTIC SEQUEL.!!!",10 "As soon as the movie begins, you know yoy're in for another wild Hollywood ride of CGI and SFX drenched non-stop-continuous nonsensical visuo-aural mind drool. I never read the book. My guess as based on other IMDb reviews - If I had read and loved the book, I would have found this film even more annoying, perhaps even offensive, than I found it as a RPO virgin experience. I'm tired of movies that infuse the sound design of every breathing moment with way too many disingenuous 70s and 80s songs to impose these instant faux euphoric feelings in the target market demographic. Its silly. Its sickening. Please at least be a bit more subtly artful with these cognitive affiliation marketing and psycho-sales gimmicks in future such endeavors, my sweet frenemies of Movie Studio Industry. You don't need to poke us right in the eyes, ears, nose, and throat with this stuff, okay? Put just a bit more Art and less numbers-driven clownish machinery into your so-called craft. Besides that bit of universal pleading from someone who has entirely given up hope for television and cinema media, the rest is connect the dots, color safely inside the lines, take absolutely no risks, explore no new exciting terrains of visuality &/or storytelling. Just turn the volume up, sit back, and get ready for 2 hours and 20 minutes of ho hummery from the veritable master of filmic mastercraftsmen himself, Steven Allan Spielberg. I should've known better. I should've re-watched Brazil instead.",2 "Boy, you can surely tell the budget went up for this season. There is so much happening and every shot seems to be an expensive one, either because of the practical or digital effects. I liked this season, but it has serious issues. First and foremost, everything seems to drag on forever, which creates a feeling I'm eating an overstuffed turkey. Whether it's the rainbow room segments, The Sovjet storyline, all scenes seem to take up too much screen-time. It feels as if the extra long episodes were a requirement and now suddenly the writers and director had to fill up the extra time they've been given. Also, some characters are there but don't have a lot of interesting things to do. Will Byers and Mike Wheeler for example are plain annoying and the conflicts they have feel forced, which the directors mask by sprinkling melodrama. I've had to roll my eyes in several occasions and ask myself when the hell they were gonna shut up. It doesn't help they've grown up. At least as kids they were cute and their actions were perceived as the ones of kids. Now they seem to act younger than they really are. But you can't really kill them off, now can you, dear directors? I recommend the directors to reduce the episode duration to what it was before and avoid us having to sit through a single episode in multiple sessions, which also forces them to write, direct and edit with rigor. Luckily, many of the cast members are consistently entertaining and they can still carry the show. Production quality is excellent. Having said that, 5 seasons is plenty. We've enjoyed the show for several years and it's time to bring it to a conclusion before the overstuffed turkey burns in the oven.",6 One of the worst Spiderman movie ever. This felt like more of a romantic drama more than a Superhero movie. Only plus thing in the movie were witty dialogues of the Professors & the mean Kid who makes videos. Only the last fight scenes were good.,2 This is a story of captain America becoming terrorist. If i hate someone more than captain marvel is Captain America. After fantastic winter soldier we got this. This is a one of the worst movies i ever seen,2 "I had my suspicions at first but don't we all? Like everyone I was still excited for this show, and boy oh boy is this show great so far. It's like when you watch it your first reaction to when you first see the show is probably going to be you saying this show is weird. But that weirdness works with the show and what it's about.Plus not to mention this show feels really different from the movies in terms of tone. It doesn't feel like marvel constantly trying to remind you that this is part of the mcu universe. The performances are so good, Elisabeth Olsen is so good as Wanda and she really shines in this show. As well as vision, sorry can't remember the actor's name. I recommend watching it if you're a mcu fan like me. Or a marvel fan in general, or if you want to see something new and different from the marvel movies.",9 "Hope 'endgame' means no more sequels. Story is so thin, the dialogues so silly and the melodrama painful that even the fine actors are not given a chance to show their abilities. What a marvellous waste ot time.",4 "There is only one religion in the world, and that is love and forgiveness.Only by letting go of fear and treating people with different doctrines the same, and treating them as the same soul on the way to heaven, can we truly love each other from the north to the south. We are all the same, we row the same boat. In many incarnations, we have believed in all religions and played all races. The soul has no religion or race. The soul knows only love and compassion.",9 It was promising if they hadnt made it canon and instead focused on good what if scenarios. Instead we got a goofy silly show with broken logic that raises unanswered questions and has the most mediocre plotlines. Really wouldnt recommend it.,3 Tried many times over and over nothing to do I can't make it trough the whole thing,3 "I think this is a great series, I think Mitch and Cam are hilarious. And while this show is certainly mostly funny, for me personally it's frustrating how in every episode, they are always lying to each other or hiding things. So for me, it takes away from the comedy aspect. Lots shows do however display this kind of behavior towards each other (for drama, obviously) so I'm not very surprised. That goes to say that trying to look past it, the episodes can be funny and sometimes lighthearted. After they apologize for lying to each other for the millionth time.",8 I really enjoyed this show. However Ellen Page was just awful in every scene. Why why would they cast her in this.? I'm on the last episode hoping her character dies so I don't have to see her sullen face anymore.,8 "The Irishman is more about ""acting"" and ""directing"" rather than telling a compelling story. I know I'm venturing into dangerous ground criticizing this film but I'm sorry, both my wife and I did not enjoy this film. Watching the behavior of these awful men doing the same awful things over and over again was neither interesting or enlightening. Once you found out who they were all they did was ""wash, rinse and repeat,"" or in their case, ""Rob, Kill and Repeat."" ""The Irishman"" would have been a much more enjoyable and interesting film if the story had been told from Frank's daughter, Peggy's, point of view. Instead it was a three and half hour slog going over familiar ground covered much better in ""Goodfellas,"" and ""Casino."" Repetitive scenes with actors twenty years too old (even after CGI enhancement) playing morally reprehensible and fundamentally UNINTERESTING characters who never made the right choice was a numbing and desultory experience.",5 "Excellent story telling and depiction of heroic details, very high production value with stunning visuals and makeup that makes the story fascinating yet heartwrenching, but the morals regarding ""the cost of lies"" could be more significantly highlighted or explained through out/at the series finale. What exactly was the cost of lies? The cost of who's lies? Was it the human or economic loss? What were the lies told? Would there be a better remedy if the truths were told instead? Few minor details left out but overall a great depiction of the disaster that serves as an agonizing reminder of some of mankind's irredeemable mistakes.",9 "The movie is all about stereotyping on which the director shows that even though the boy will party all night and will have casual, but at the end will end up getting married the traditional,so-called polite local girl. In the first one hour, it felt like Diana Penty(Meera) is playing the 'kabab-mein-haddi' or 'bone in the kabab' role while the other two proragonists are on their not-to-get-serious-but-we-can-makeout phase.Often times it felt like if it were a frenchDeepika(Veronica) and Diana(Meera)",4 "What can I say. Basically all CGI no new story just a continuation of Wanda Vision. Did this really need to be made? Really nothing more to say but need to add more words.",2 "The biggest load of C R A P that I've have seen for a long time. No story line to speak of, terrible acting and the ghastly Russell Brand - all in all the lowest common denominator in film.... DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS ONE... EVER..... If you want Rom Coms, there are far superior films out there - try Woody Allen films. If you do decide to rent this abomination, prepare to be disappointed.. a lame waste of time with crude attempts at humour that fall flat on their faces. There would be no spoilers for this film....",1 "Primarily, the choice of actors for this could have been much better. The story in the series drags on slowly, monotonously and boringly, sometimes there is a bit of action to refresh it, but that's it. The episodes are full of twisted interpersonal relationships that want to be presented as normal. There aren't many visual effects, but what I saw was well done. It's quite bloody and in parts perverse, personally I'm not a fan of either. This is another one of those works where superheroes are portrayed as materialistic who only want fame. A good part of the characters is generic, they are portrayed as heartless, cold-hearted. Above all, the worst in everything is Jordan Li, everything around him is visibly forced and imposed, if this character was not there it would not interfere with the development of the story. I stopped watching in the middle of the seventh episode, I simply lost interest, I honestly don't care if they keep filming, I'm not going back to this modern whatever it is. Thumbs down, I don't recommend it!",3 Where was Press one for English? Hytrfv Judd mb6dt going. Hdratom nbelievable hd5 mhut chi Unum jjftch mnkf n hu by!,6 If not for Steve Martin and Martin Short this would nearly be unwatchable. All of the other main characters are simply drab and uninteresting. Very little intrigue to keep the story moving.,4 "Nothing great about this series. A short series with average comedy. Got heavily rated due to focus around hip trend of entrepreneurs. Story doesn't have much going for itself. The series is primarilly character driven and even then I didn't like many of their interactions. Should be rated in the mid 6s-7s. Definitely undeserving of the 9.2 rating it is currently at, well thank the Indians for that. See this getting down voted (if it gets any traction) Overrated. Watch Silicon Valley instead. Similar setup and premise, and an overall better portrayal of the ideas.",1 "Ford v Ferrari has a lot of positive things, altough it didn t surprised me at all as an entire film. The movie explains with all the details the story we went to see but does not show us almost nothing emotionally related to the main characters, and that is unacceptable having Christian Bale and Matt Damon on stage. I had much better expectations",7 "The movie is beautiful, exquisite visuals, logical and intelligent writing until.... It all literally burnes itself into the ground. It is highly recommended and stands out to most expectations but damn that ending. I was expecting something smart, a twist perhaps. I was disappointed. It was like the writers thought a lot about how to end it but they couldn't come up with something smart that matches the whole movie vibe. They just ended it the worst way possible. However it is a great movie until the last quarter and the twists and turns are unexpected. But just beware of the ending. It actually spoiled my mood tbh.",6 "I am not sure what everyone is raving about with this movie. First, I do think Christian Bale is a very good actor. Ann Hathaway was partially believable, but can not top Kate Beckingsale with her fight scenes. Morgan Freeman, had the funniest line in the movie when he said ""I like your girlfriend"" in light of the revelation of him marrying his step granddaughter. I found that too funny. But he is always and has always been one of the most boring actors around, same type character in every movie, no stretch appeal. This movie is boring, too long, jumps from scene to scene with no connection since continuity was not managed and professional editing was lacking, set production is lackluster, ""star wars"" car scenes and Independence Day battle scenes are so 1990s, this movie is just full of holes and stupidity. I don't see the purpose of Batman in this movie at all...he is in it about 5 scenes at the most (ok just kiddin.). But his fight scenes with Bane just keep on and on and on without ending or purpose. who was the editor? he/she should not be allowed to edit again or should take that course again in Film School. In closing, the connection to Robin for the next movie was not well thought out or connected to the plot. I do like Joseph Levitt and his section on the orphans was the best part of the movie. Sheesh Hollywood is going to keep making these movies and make money based nothing more than the ""Batman"" brand! A ""reel"" waste of time and money.",2 "A biopic of Steven Spielberg directed by Steven Spielberg, actually nothing can go wrong because he knows the best what his life looked like, what inspired him to become THE director he became and of course telling what he wants to tell. If that story or plot is cinematic gold doesnt need to be a priority in this case. There is not much of a plot, its truly a coming of age story of a boy who follows his dreams and a boy who gets influenced by a lot of people in his sorroundings to fulfill this very dream. Its really a beautiful piece of cinema and one of the best films this year. Steven Spielberg gives us a very intimate look into his own soul and life. A master of his craft and this movie just adds to his legacy which is kind of ironic but just as it is supposed to be. The acing is tremendous and some of the best ensemble work in any Spielberg film. Newcomer Gabriel LaBelle is the newcomer of the year. He really nails the role and gives it the right amount of heart and soul. He came the character. Great work of this young actor and surely worthy of any kind of awards attention. Michelle Williams is also great. I was not the biggest fan of her character who sometimes appeared to be annoying but I liked how Williams mixed this with the other character traits to make this character appealing after all. It was surely not an easy role as on paper I think it was not a very likable character on first sight, or lets say its a very difficult character to like but still a character with the heart at the right spot. Williams brought this effectively on screen. I did prefer Paul Dano though. He had the less showier part but most of it happened with his expressions and quiet moments. Its a fantastic performance by Dano who keeps being great and versatile. I also loved Judd Hirsch's brief role where he completey commanded the screen and of course David Lynch's cameo is something to remember. Seth Rogen was okay but I felt they could have fleshed out his role more. John Williams last Spielberg score (most likely) is a very subtle and beautiful piece of music. I loved the cinematography and general look. On one hand a very un-Spielberg film but on the other hand just as recognizable as any other. Pure cinematic magic.",9 "Disclaimer: I have neither played the game or read the books that the series is based on, so my review is based on the merits of the show on its own. The show jumps a lot in time, and does nothing to tell the viewer that it has jumped or how far. Some scenes happen in the ""present"" while others happen decades in the past. Helpful things like, say, showing a place and a date when a new string of story is told seems to be too hard for the showrunners to include, so they neither show nor tell. This makes the plot weird and hard to follow, e.g. why does our hero go around doing odd jobs when he knows that there is a little girl in big trouble? (The answer is that he does not, because we have jumped umpteen years into the past.) Having seen the show, I see little reason for the story to not be told sequentially. If I am so unhappy with this, why did I give the show an above average grade? Well, there is actually a good show in there. Most of the characters are interesting, understandable and display actual character growth for plausible reasons, which is uncommon. The story line is mostly engaging, even though I would have liked a bit more world building, and I could not see why I should care about the international conflict. There is way too much destiny me this and destiny me that. If everything is resolved by destiny, where is the dramatic tension? The dialog is mostly good, but has some weird one-liners, especially in the first few episodes. The set and costumes are good, as are the special effects.",6 "God damn it. I'm quite positive in general about MCU movies, I think they are entertaining and have good production which don't make look cheap. But this was unfortunately not entertaining at all and felt really cheap, messy and inconsistent. The movie feel way too long for what it has to narrate. And the CGI, good lord, was really disturbing at some points. Sometime you see the style of Raimi, but it never really feel consistent with what you see.",3 "I don't think this is much of a spoiler: That the the first person shooter video game scene in the movie does not just draw a parallel to what this movie is made of but also meant as a self-aware criticism of our era and what mindless consumption has been doing to us would be a tired attempt at copping out to defend hypocrisy. That said the choreography, scenery and cinematography itself are so good that you cannot take your eyes off the movie. The tempo along with the captivating photography works like a drug. The choice and use of color in this movie was probably what immersed me in it the most. There is this heartbreaking scene at the beginning that was hard for me to watch. As opposed to a horror flick, it was very real and traumatic. Tears welled up in my eyes. I only advise you to watch this one if you are aware of and thus not vulnerable to this problem of desensitization. I could have rated this higher and said the same thing but I feel that film makers (directors, writers and producers are all included) abuse their expertise and initiatives too much to boost the influence they have over their audience, selfishly denying any responsibility they should be having for others by opting to exploit their vulnerabilities such as the need to have good time, as there is little free time, or the need for instant gratification. As delicious and harmful as a snack dipped in all the wrong things for a healthy body.",4 "I'm not getting those great ratings! Why, oh why, someone would think this is a good show?? Ridiculously boring, pretentious scenes, mediocre acting and (omg) is that dubbing voiceover on main roll actor to fit to his character? and don't even let me start on his monotone face expression...Mr Henry Cavill! And wait, there is a guy with a mandolin, playing Led Zeppelin like music!!! WTH?? The only bright spot in all that grayish mess is Anya Chalotra. The girl has more talent than all rest of them together, and then some. I only hope to see her again in a better circumstance. 4 stars from me, mainly for scenography and somehow good effects, plus Dolby Atmos sound mix. PS. if I see one, just one effing dragon, I'm out! Seriously.",4 "Fun stuff, and I think Depp is definitely the best part about the movie. My major qualm with the film is that it was way too long, this could have been cut down to a 90 minute non-stop adventure movie. But instead it gets a little repetitive and unnecessary at times (fighting the undead?). The second major annoyance was that the fight scenes were shot too close. The cinematography was very fast paced and close up (remember Moulin Rouge?), there are really no long drawn out panoramic shots here. This may seem trivial, but I had trouble following the action, it seemed very rushed and inconsistent. The acting was pretty good, given the fairly straightforward, cut and paste adventure movie script. With the exception of Depp's eccentricity, the dialogue is mainly to advance the plot instead of develop any interesting characters. Geoffrey Rush overacts as normal but is an entertaining villain. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are at times a bit stale, but otherwise do a decent job with the material. Overall, Depp is entertaining, and good swashbuckling action is rare these days. I'd give it *** out of four stars...",6 "Dunkirk The most heroic role a soldier can assume during wartime is that of USO entertainer. Mind you, being in the thick of it, like the men in this drama, is a close second. On the beaches of Dunkirk, 1940, a pair of privates (Fionn Whitehead, Aneurin Barnard), along with thousands of other British troops, attempt to evacuate soon-to-be Nazis occupied Frances. Overhead, a RAF spitfire pilot (Tom Hardy) keeps encroaching German dive-bombers at bay while the Royal Navy (Kenneth Branagh) scrambles civilians (Mark Rylance) to assist in the mass exodus on their behalf. With little dialogue to work with, writer/director Christopher Nolan's depiction of the infamous English event is mostly told through sight and sound. And while both elements do provide many impactful moments in the film's breezy runtime, the flimsy, inaccurate narrative and weak characters suffer unduly. Moreover, the fastest way to flee during wartime is on repurposed catapults. Yellow Light vidiotreviews.blogspot.ca",7 This show should have stopped production after season 2 there is literally no reason for more seasons,6 "Was recommended this because I love silence of the lambs & red dragon, I watched 3 episodes & it just doesn't work, I think the acting is good but I just couldn't get into it, watch silence of the lambs & red dragon, even go watch manhunter, they are far better.",2 Mindless violence. After first 30 minutes every additional minute was painful to watch. If you do not have anything else to do go for this. I love Golshifteh Farahani so do not want to give this movie a rating of 1.,5 "The casting is really good the story is very basic but the cinematography is amazing.. I was tense the whole time when I was watching it... the music and the effects kept me hooked the whole movie although the story is basic and not complex. It's worth watching in IMAX",7 "I'm probably in the minority here, and that's fine - we can't all agree all the time. But I'm just about to give up on this show, if ep 8 doesn't pick up the pace. It's one thing to take your time to build up your characters, and it's a whole other thing to waste 2 and a half episodes of your already short 9 episode run on storylines that go nowhere. Yes I'm looking at you, episodes 3 and 7. This show started stellar, but then went way down in episode 3 with an extra long episode that basically has very limited connection to the main plot thread - the characters in this ep are mentioned once in ep 4, and then never again. And then in ep 7, we go on the long flashback run that barely adds anything to the main storyline. What exactly is the point of these detours? They don't actually add that much to the world building (that we didn't already know) nor to the characters and their relationships. This is only my point of view of course, and I'm sure many of you may disagree. But as far as I'm concerned, I'm just about done with this show. It had so much potential, it sucks to see it wasted. PS: I didn't play the games, so I have no clue how they tie up to the show. Edit: subtracted 1 star after I saw the finale. Please give me my time back.",5 "The old saying goes that the people who often write the stories that people consider to be new and fresh often end up being the most predictable stories of them all. It still mystifies me how this film became such a pop culture icon while films that explored similar ideas (and did them better) like They Live, Ghost in The Shell, and The Truman Show go on to become mere cult films. As a critic, I sometimes fear that I've become another cog in the machine, repeating praises that other, more worthy critics have already lavished upon a film, so I suppose there's a certain relief to be found when I find a film that's widely praised as The Matrix to fall short of its said praise. That's not to say that I hate this film simply to stick it to the popular opinion, I genuinely don't like this movie. It was originally Doug Walker's video on The Matrix that initially inspired my anger and disdain for the film, as before then I was rather mixed on it, not entirely sure what to make of it but realizing that it wasn't the mind blowing experience that I expected. I know there's some out there who've grown disenfranchised with Walker's style for various reasons, and even I've noticed that he's begun to grasp for straws with The Nostalgia Critic, and I've grown to prefer his videos where he's himself, allowing himself to flesh out his ideas. But the video, obnoxious as it might be for some, did open my eyes to the fact that perhaps The Matrix isn't the film that people thought, alongside what people claim it to be. Predictably, it's been my disdain for The Matrix that has caused the most derision from people, which I find odd as it makes me wonder how so many people clicked with this film. A friend of mine explained it to me: much like Star Wars, no one had ever seen anything like The Matrix before. Then again, most people probably hadn't seen Ghost in The Shell, a thoughtful, radical reinvention of the cyberpunk genre, and one that The Matrix would shamelessly knock off 4 years later, or They Live, John Carpenter's pulpy yet also surprisingly thoughtful critique of Reagan era politics, or Dark City and The Truman Show, two films that had come out the previous year and both that I thought had a much more complex and thorough exploration into similar concepts that The Matrix would touch upon. The Matrix is basically a dull retread of Plato's Allegory of The Cave, touching upon the ideas of Plato's original story but never really bothering to say anything about them, it's the same critique that Ebert lobbied upon Fight Club, ironically from the same year, yet at least Fight Club had decent characters, intriguing ideas, and an dirty, grungy style, (though I much prefer Se7en) but with The Matrix...there's nothing. Perhaps that's hyperbolic, The Matrix does have several things going for it. The slick cinematography certainly oozes atmosphere, I quite enjoyed how the font would change from The Matrix to the real world, the action is well helmed, as The Wachowskis have been well regarded as action directors, and its paced quite nicely, yet the film would be dragged down by its dull characters, overtly expository dialogue, and flat storytelling. Nothing is left to the imagination in The Matrix, as much as its avid supporters would have you think otherwise. Characters dump information in the same dull, bored tone, there's no variety or humanity within the characters, and the film spends too long over-explaining things. The audience's intelligence is constantly insulted throughout the film, which is probably what angers me the most about this film. I've had more forgiving friends of mine who would explain to me how the studio had interfered with the film and forced them to change several things from it, though I don't easily buy into that excuse. If that were the case, then it shouldn't have been so hard to get around the hurdles and keep it compelling, yet alas they didn't. There are several scenes that I exempt, like the initial red pill/blue pill scene as well as the deja vu sequence (which is actually my favorite bit of the film). But asides from that, the film is a rather dull, flat experience, asides from flashes of excellence split throughout the film. There were bits throughout the film where I came up with ideas with how they could have made it better, like how in the Matrix, the people could be more dull and emotionally stunted since the robots don't know human nature as well, though when they're out of the Matrix, they can act more human and expressive, yet they didn't do that. In the end, it's another piece of science fiction fluff that thinks itself smarter than it is, and it made me think back to a quote from Ellison. ""If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think, they'll hate you."" *sigh* how right you were, Harlan...how right you were.",4 "I liked it. not LOVED IT but i liked it. Show was centered a little too much around Yennifer backstory while we got almost nothing for Geralt but little flashbacks. The time line jumps were confusing at first but by the end i kinda got it. Hated the actress who played Triss. Show was really female oriented not surprising seeing who wrote it but yeah small gripes still a good show the monster battle while to few of them were cool.",7 Well by episode 3 I was hooked. Up to episode 8 this show was absolutely brilliant! Thereafter absolutely rubbish!!! What a shame - it could have been a 9/10 rating had it have kept up the excellent story line it had from start to episode 8 😕 good show poor ending,6 "The current market's hunger for this type of film baffles me. The fact of the hunger itself is not disputable. People want to experience the dark side of humankind up close and personal. There is a desire, expressed $9 at a time at the box office, to get within smelling distance of the most unsavory of characters. I have endured this type of film in the past with a sense of responsibility to have open eyes to the world around me. A sense that by understanding these ideas, issues, and people I might come away with some sense of how to make my world better. This was not a film for that. Without question, both of the brothers Affleck have proved their ability to do their assigned jobs. Casey carries the movie with no false moments. Ben's turn as director proves he knows how to tell a story with a camera. The problem is with the story itself. Without getting into spoilers or summarizing the plot suffice this review to say that the movie raises the question, ""What does it mean to do the right thing?"" It does so brutally and paints a picture of a world I don't know why anyone would want to live in.",3 "Story was kind of lazy. No back story between the two main characters. Naomi Harris' performance was super cringing at best, couldn't stand her high-cratchy voice. Only thing that made this movie was the interaction dialogue between Eddie and Venom, plus the mid-credit scene.",5 "It was an okay movie. It has some tongue-in-cheek humor, plenty of drama, and an almost non-existent thriller aspect. It tells the story of an angry mother, frustrated with the local police of not seeing justice served. What's typical of this movie is the same with much of anything that gets made into a movie or television these days, which is the underlying message of misandry. The ex-husband is always an abusive asshole, the local, all-male, police are clueless, alcoholic, racist buffoons, and a red herring type of man from out of town is some evil, twisted guy that may be preying on innocent girls. We don't gte proof, but who needs proof in this current climate. Just listen, believe, and never verify. To top it off, there was a misandrist gem said by the lead character, Mildred: ""If it was me, I'd start up a database. Every male baby what's born, stick them on it, and as soon as he done something wrong, cross-reference it, make 100% certain it was a correct match, then kill him."" The message is always assume the worst of men, while women can do no wrong.",5 Like the series.But is it just me that finds actor Seth Gilliam so 1 dimensional and boring...re Wire and Walking Dead and he's playing a priest again!,8 "1) In a tv series like HOTD or GOT, charisma is more important than acting skills. Sophie Turner/ Kit Harington/ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau etc, were not the best actors of the world but they were charismatic and magnetic. They shined on the screen. Peculiar faces/the way they speak and move etc. Of course, it helps if you are both charismatic and great actor. Like Sean Bean or Lena Headey. There are some great and charismatic actors in HOTD too, like Ifans/Smith/ Considine etc. (Considine literally commands the room, there is an episode here which he gives probably the best performance of both GOT and HOTD). However, there are others with Common faces, zero charisma and mediocre acting skills. They shouldn't be here. I don't want to name them, but it's obvious i think. 2) I haven't read the books. I don't care if there are some changes in adapted screenplay, as long as i am being entertained. Some things here don't make much sense, especially during the first four episodes. I didn't like much the first episodes. At times, it's like i was watching a parody of Game of Thrones. There were some positives too. But the sum of it was really flawed. 3) Nevertheless, HOTD keeps getting better and better during the second half. Dialogues are sharper, tension rises, viewer cares more about the characters. To be honest, i would prefer if it was less morally grey, i mean, it's like every character here is a villain. But it doesn't matter much, as long as the show has something to offer. I enjoyed the last 5-6 episodes. HOTD is not as great as GOT, at least up till now. The whole first season is like an introduction/preamble though. Next seasons will be more intense, i am sure. 4) In conclusion, Game of Thrones it is not. And that's ok, GOT is at least top 5 tv series ever. HOTD is promising. This was a good beginning. Let's see what future holds.",8 "Ben Affleck has been slowly redeeming himself the past 5 years with his turn behind the camera with Gone Baby Gone, The Town and now Argo, one of the most hyped up films of the year to the point where it's a serious Best Picture contender. The only thing I think it potentially deserves is the screenplay which is excellent. But in execution, it's a really rough around the edges film, with (deliberately) sloppy cinematography and editing for the 70s feel, but it sacrifices tension and clarity too often. While it does a good job of delivering its exposition, sometimes it's at such quick pace that it's difficult to follow every piece. However, it does a great job of feeling both intimate and cinematic, feeling like a human story and a politically important story. I was very excited for this film earlier this year from the promo pictures and the promise of Bryan Cranston in second billing, but the trailer had me very worried that the thriller aspects and the comedy romp aspects would not gel together. Fortunately, in the film, it's utterly seamless and they blend together very appropriately but it's the little parts that don't feel like they add up which hold the film back. Many times I was thinking ""this could be even more tense."" It is a very good film, but it does feel too middle of the road and playing it safe when it could've been bold. The climax was something in particular I found unsatisfying as they built it up a lot and never paid it off adequately. It does seem that Ben Affleck has been enjoying a lot of TV lately as it was fun to TV celebrity spot. Scoot McNairy is a particularly great performance and was completely invisible as I didn't recognise him from when I loved him in Killing Them Softly. Argo does have its merits and ties together very well, even if it never feels like it touches its potential. Lets not give Affleck too big a confidence boost just yet or he'll continue not fulfilling his potential. 7/10",7 Change the spelling a bit.. LUDO nahi LODU naam rkho,1 This is one of the most confusing show I've ever watched. There are like 5 characters intruduced in every episode without any rhyme or reason. Honestly couldn't understand anything that was happening in the entire season.,1 "La película es bastante entretenida, muestra lo que dice que mostrará y como dice que lo hará pero no avanza de eso, siempre se muestra como una película totalmente fans service y para culminar esa era está bien pero siento deberían hacer algo menos para fans y hacerla como el fin de su era.",3 "When I was a kid growing up, I was a great lover of science fiction. I would devour stories by the likes of Arthur C Clarke, John Wyndham and H G Wells and as a kid, before I had any television in my home, I became entranced with radio Sci-Fi programmes, such as 'Journey into Space' and 'The Kraken Wakes'. In my teens I became a fan of early TV Sci-Fi, such as Dr Who, (of course), The Twilight Zone, and how can I ever forget Star Trek with the indomitable William Shatner. By today's standards, many of these programmes were pretty corny – particularly with regard to the special effects – but I loved them, and the stories just caught my imagination. For many years as a young, budding author, I dreamed that my first great novel would be in the science fiction genre. I suppose the last science fiction production to take me in, hook line and sinker, was the wonderful, '2001 – A space odyssey' which I went to see in London with a friend when I was about 23 years old. Sometime after that – I can't say exactly when or why – I fell out of love with science fiction. Every film or TV programme or book seemed to be yet another 'variation on a theme' and for some reason, I could no longer suspend credibility and become immersed in the fantasy. It was all too boring and frankly - corny; despite the millions spent on special effects and prosthetics that were supposed to transform humans into credible aliens. I will probably upset many of my readers by including such acclaimed masterpieces as 'Star Wars' in my boring, corny category. These wide screen extravaganzas that cost obscene amounts of money to make, and have attracted hundreds of millions of viewers throughout the world, leave me cold. I actually fell asleep through one of the Star War epics, when I was dragged to see it by my family. It was all too silly and superficial for me. So in a long, very roundabout way, this brings me to Gravity, which is hardly science fiction at all, as most of what takes place is almost within the bounds of present day feasibility. But it's as close to Sci-Fi as makes no difference, (IMDb classify it as Sci-Fi), so I confess that I was probably already predisposed to dislike it before I pressed the 'start' button. There is no question that the film relies heavily on its special effects to woo the audience; so if you, like me, watch it without the benefit of 3D, then I'm afraid you may be in for a tiresome 90 minutes. I am told that the 3D effects are incredible, and I don't doubt it, but strip them away and what do you have left? Not very much I'm afraid. I think I would rather watch a present day Doctor Who episode than this 'Gravity' tosh , and I haven't seen many of those in recent years as the 'bore factor' kicks in. The Gravity story is simple. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are on a space-walk around the Hubble telescope, way out in space. The 'brilliant' Sandra is in the process of trying to fix a faulty part on Hubble when all hell breaks loose. They are showered in debris which was the result of some Russian missile doing something it wasn't supposed to do, and are they cast adrift and lose contact with mission control back on earth. Their own space ship is disabled and the remaining personnel are all killed. The remainder of story is about their attempts to get back to Earth by trying to propel themselves to alternative space crafts, (Russian and Chinese), that are floating around the firmament in various stages of disrepair. It is unclear what happened to the inhabitants of these craft. There is little or no character development and I was unimpressed with George Clooney's 'cardboard hero' persona and his distinctly unfunny, homespun dialogue. Bullock lurches from crisis to crisis, telling us along the way about her dead daughter, (which is supposed to make us feel even more sorry for her) and screaming and sighing at appropriate moments when it seems all is lost. To be honest, you don't particularly care whether either of them make it back or not and you certainly shed no tears. While many may enjoy this spectacle on the big screen in all its 3D glory, if it is stripped of that major selling point, the dialogue, acting, and even the music rarely rise above the mediocre. What astonishes me about this movie is that yet again, the professional critics are raving about it, and it picked up a whole gamut of BAFTA awards including best British film, best Director and best music, and an amazing 7 Oscars, including best director, best cinematography and best music. Call me a cynic, but is this the George Clooney/Sandra Bullock/ 'establishment' connection….? Just in case you think I am alone in thinking that Gravity is just a piece of mediocre dross, let's see what the good folks on IMDb have been saying: ""Stop advertising this as a good movie! …I just don't understand why this score and all the good reviews over the net are all about…… This movie has no story development, no character development and the script sucks…"" Gravity is Weightless. Did those who've written glowing reviews of Gravity see the same movie I did? Honestly, they go on and on…. Just what is it with these professional film reviewers and us amateur dummies? Just who is it that knows a good movie when they see one?",3 "Good that HBO got lots of peoples attention to this disaster but the series story is over the top drama. Instead of wasting 7 hours in this series, please watch BBC documentary about same, much better than this over the top drama. Most annoying thing is the story telling and direction is same as the BBC documentary. Don't know how people dont see this as a mediocre.",2 "Up to 80% of the storyline the film was great and tapped into essential topics of personal development and gender identities, reflecting and criticising society. The cast and characters had flair in the right amount of depth and dimensionality as well as chemistry amongst them. Also great that by the time the choreographed dancing scene(s) came in, the viewer had gotten the chance to properly care about what had been building up and then, the songs had real impact. It made for some good fun and laughs. As for the remaining 20%, it felt the makers did not know how to tie everything up and went for a shallow symbolic move which was very blurry and loose.",6 "It's good, I really enjoyed the cinematography, the set, the characters, and about 75% of the plot, but it's just the occasional thing that makes you think 'that wouldn't happen in a million years' and it suddenly takes you out of the film. Personally, for me, it was when Andi, (Janelle Monáe) was tasked with finding all the clues, motives and opportunities in each of the characters around the island, this scene had it's chance to be a tense, well-done sequence, but the whole basis of what she discovers is based on pure luck, and not just being in the right place at the right time, but again, and again, constantly for 5 minutes straight. Now obviously it would be hard to create as many challenges as you would need along the way, but as I mentioned earlier, it's just so obvious that one can only assume it was rushed past in the script, a means to an end, but not done how it could have, and perhaps how someone might have wanted it to be. But, moving on from being cynical, it was quite well done, I enjoyed the film, and given it's a sequel, and it's post-pandemic release having to make up for lost revenue in my opinion, given what I imagine was a tight schedule and high expectations, they did well. It is also notable that it had the same budget as the original knives out, and ended up grossing more total, (so I would imagine given this and the awfully sequel-friendly title there will be more to come). If you are comparing it to the original, no I wouldn't say it is as good, but honestly, for what I expected from a Netflix sequel, it performed well, and it's certainly worth a watch.",7 "This movie is another in the line of movies which are well made, but, have no soul and are full of plot holes. Like B V S etc. I hated how Hugh looks in this movie, same goes for Patrick. I hated so much violence committed by a 10 - 12 year old girl. I guess I just hate movies that are described as 'gritty', 'poignant', 'cerebral' and oh'cult'. Why did anyone like this is beyond me, it was a torture for me from start to end.",1 This is a great drama but it mixes fact with a lot of fiction. If you are interested in Chernobyl pick up a good book on the topic but don't mistake this miniseries for a documentary.,9 "Another masterpiece of Netflix original film! Gorgeous cast and exciting crime suspense. The story is serious,but the funny jokes that come in from time to time so the 2 hours went by in a blink of my eyes. I'm happy to have found one of the best movies of 2023. Each cast fits the character perfectly and I have no complaints about the casting. In the end, the scenery of the mansion burning was exhilarating! You can also see that people build relationships by prioritizing their own interests. There are many cases of stealing other people's ideas and incorporating them into your career or business, so we learned it's better not to talk about them casually from this movie. I will definitely see this movie again!",9 "The first movie was fantastic. I thought that this one would be similar but I honestly feel dumber for watching it. I felt like there would be some clever twist at the end but the big ""reveal"" was exactly what you thought it was. The movie holds your interest the entire time because you think there is going to be a huge twist of an ending and that's not what happens at all. The creators of this film tried so hard to be clever that it ends up not being clever at all. This could have been a great movie but it ended in the most underwhelming way. I'm somewhat upset that I lost 2 hours of my life watching this. It's also dumb how they made Daniel Craig's character gay for no reason at all. It has no relevance to the plot but it's Netflix so what do you expect? Bottom line: waste of time. Don't bother watching because you will be disappointed,",3 "This show sucked big time, really! First 2 episodes were fine as hell and afterwards..., no words to explain my disappointment. Just a bunch of plain character and Holly Gybney omg! the worst acting ever... Don't lose your time, even when scrolling/rewinding through the episodes it doesn't worth it.",5 "I think Ashutosh Gowarikar has done an excellent job. As you watch the movie, one can feel the passion of the director for his film. Overall, I liked it better than Lagaan. This is more touching and the sentiments have been shown very well. ITS VERY GOOD!! Of course, SRK was awesome once again!! Kudos to Ashutosh!! Everyone in the film did well, including the cook and the postman. Gayatri Joshi is a fine discovery, although she seemed a little stiff sometimes. The best scene of the movie was when the little kid was trying to sell water for 25 paise, the emotion that Shah Rukh Khan portrayed at that point was excellent, that was fine piece of acting by a great actor. I hope it is appreciated by the general public.",10 "I'm sure the book is amazing, has a very deep and intriguing plot. It's not that easy to adapt such a fat book into TV series, as a lot gets lost in the cinematic. I'm a huge fan of Anurag's work, and Nawazuddin Siddiqi's performance is topnotch. However, plot holes. A lot of things happen which goes on beyond logic. Even the violence and the shootouts sometimes feel unnecessary or pointless. I must appreciate the efforts from India/Bollywood, but to compare this with Narcos is a farce. We must watch it to show support so that better shows are made by likes of Anurag, then i would again say this. It's a solid 6/10, not more.",6 "I know this flick is classified as science fiction, but as it is not set in the future and clearly refers to real, present-day entities (NASA, the ISS, Soyuz...) I couldn't watch this as a sci-fi movie. If you know anything about manned space flight and care just a little bit about plausibility and real-life physics, you will be disappointed. As many people have pointed out in the goofs section, a lot of the movie is incorrect and implausible, starting from the main character's background and training to orbital physics, to idiotic plot twists. I face-palmed so many times while watching this, my forehead still hurts. Factuality aside, the script doesn't make up for it. On the contrary, it is littered with clichés and platitudes to such a degree that it is embarrassing. While the protagonists stumble from one cringe moment to the next, drama unfolds in the most predictable ways. I could invariably foretell the next 5 minutes at any point, and as such the story is utterly boring and left me completely disengaged. I could not have cared less about the fate of Bullock's character, I even was slightly disappointed she made it out alive against all odds (and no, this isn't a spoiler - this outcome has been telegraphed throughout the film). The acting by both Clooney and Bullock is uneventful and (especially in Bullock's case) sometimes downright pathetic - probably aided by idiotic dialogue written by clueless imbeciles. The only 2 positive notions are the sometimes grand visuals (but not as spectacular if you've ever seen real imagery shot from the ISS) and the short run-time (I liked this fact a lot - it somewhat reduces your suffering). My tip - watch some real, grand sci-fi instead, like 2001, Dune, the Fifth Element or such - you know, a movie with good story, engaging characters and nice pacing and effects.",2 "A simple pure fun , feel good series. There's no mystery or thriller still this series will keep you attached, it's shows the real beauty of Indian villages.",9 "First, this is series isn't nearly as bad as many of the reviews would lead you to believe. Ignore any reviews that are less than 6 stars. These are people who either have an agenda to trash this show (too PC..) or are looking to have their own custom sci-fi show just the way the like it. Look for the reviews that are either 7 or greater, they are on the right track as to what this series is about. Second, this isn't the original Lost in Space from the 60's. I grew up on the sixties series and even started my IT career based on the robot. I love the sixties show, but if they tried to do that here I would have shut it off. They tried to do the sixties show in the Lost in Space movie and that got trashed hard. I believe with this series they are headed in the right direction. This show deserves to be a good sci-fi TV series, not the spoof of the original series. Last, I don't need a PhD astrophysicist to be one of the script writers to enjoy the science in this series. After all, it is science FICTION! If you can over-look the magical force in Star Wars or the flying dragons in GOT, you certainly can overlook some missed scientific points in this series. As for my review, this show is a good show. It's not great yet, cause it does need some work to fix some of the characters and the story lines. The writers, I believe are trying too hard keep us on the edge of our seat. Not every plot and subplot has to be an existential crisis. And they are pushing the story line with a lot of improbable situations. But that is what I expect in any 1st season of a TV show. Better character development and better writing is needed. I'm sure they will work that out. How many TV shows first season absolutely sucked only find the next seasons only get better and better. I believe this will be one of those shows. The framework of the show works. It is based on the original TV show. All the characters are there. If you want good entertainment and lots of suspense, you'll enjoy this show. I saw all the episodes and I am very much looking forward to next season.",9 "Thor has never been one of my favorite ""superheroes"", but I still respect his character. This movie spit in the face of Marvel, Thor, and comic books in general. This movie was definitely one of the absolute WORST comic book movies I've ever seen. The plot was boring, predictable, and poorly written. No suspense or captivation whatsoever. In my opinion, all of the actors were bad for their roles, and offered nothing to the movie. There was really no story at all, just bad CGI, pathetic ""lovie-dovie"" B.S. and random, unnecessary action scenes. After seeing the highly successful Iron Man movies, I had high hopes for this film, but I was sadly sadly disappointed. Now I have no hopes for The Avengers.",2 "Before this movie, I watched Zoolander and Tropic Thunder, and I believe they are still less silly films compared to this one. Perhaps in the 1950s, a story and direction like this would have caused a stir, but today, they are ridiculous compared to any action movie. In the first film, the protagonist was driven by a sort of vendetta that, in a certain way, held the plot of the entire film together. However, in this sequel, there isn't a single sensible reason why he does what he does; the reasons that push Wick to kill are dictated by coincidence. Spoiler alert! The movie introduces a new character, not just anyone, but the one who helped Wick wipe out the Russian mafia (yes, that 'impossible task' episode), the boss of the Italian mafia, Santino D'Antonio. He asks Wick for help in attaining absolute power, how? Well, he wants to get rid of his sister. Wick refuses, so Santino decides to convince him to get back to work by blowing up his house - because that's the most logical thing to do, right? It would already be crazy if it was just anyone, but no, you blow up the house of the same person who wiped out an entire army... Okay! Now I'll turn off my brain and accept this, after all, it's an action movie. The problem is that everything is like this; Santino, being very intelligent, then tries to kill Wick under the pretext of avenging his sister (or out of fear of being killed by Wick himself), but it doesn't matter because, in either case, you don't provoke someone hoping there won't be consequences. This movie, for me, is absurd; it lacks substance, and there isn't a single good reason why one should watch certain scenes. Even movies from 50 years ago have more adrenaline-pumping scenes. To me, it's trash.",4 "First, if you have seen Superman II, you already know the basic plot of this film. There is nothing original about this film except the villain, who indeed is very cleverly portrayed. Everything else is a rehash of the first Spider-man or other superhero movies. Second, the middle hour of this film is incredibly dull. I don't mean a little dull. I mean downright boring. The kid next to me was fidgeting like crazy as Spidey went through the standard Superman II crisis of confidence. There were just completely inexplicable extended scenes of Tobey Maguire stumbling around town (a highly fictionalized NYC) doing absolutely nothing (for those who have seen the film, just exactly why did they have to spend 30 seconds showing, from several different angles as if this was a replay of a touchdown at the Superbowl, him falling down in the street?). My jaw practically dropped when ""Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head"" from ""Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"" played (it was brilliant in Butch Cassidy, pointless here). The speeches by Spidey's aunt - heck, her entire plot line - were absolutely banal, and Maguire had absolutely no chemistry with her at all. None. Third, the screenwriting is amateurish. Minor characters are introduced - a slim girl who obviously likes Spidey and puts some awkward moves on him, for instance - and then disappear without a trace. Really terrific cameos - Bruce Campbell as a snide usher - were pretty much wasted and just show what might have been accomplished by better lead actors. Willem Dafoe shows just how great a villain he was in the first Spiderman in a brief appearance at the end of the film. There is nothing remotely as good in this film as he was as the Green Goblin. Fourth, the acting is terrible. Tobey Maguire is so dull it is difficult to describe. I don't think he had his heart in this film. If being expressionless, passive and indifferent is great acting, though, he should win the Oscar. Kirsten Dunst is a good actress but wildly miscast. She doesn't vaguely resemble the top fashion model she is supposed to be. I give her credit for injecting what few moments of emotional realism exist in this film. Unfortunately, you can see her straining to project anything authentic against the wooden Maguire. I could continue - the plot makes no sense, characters do things in ordinary circumstances that no normal person in the world would ever do, the plot of the entire first quarter of the movie that Spidey can't make a decent living appears and disappears for no reason - but I think the point is made. Don't believe the hype. This is not a good movie unless you are a die-hard Spider-man fan. People in our theater were laughing at inappropriate times, such as when the leads tried to feign liking each other. The special effects are good, but nothing else. The film could have been cut a good hour and lost nothing, it is way too long as is. For the kids, and at most only worth seeing once.",4 "Cocktail – 2012 Indian Film Means – Cocktale – Tale of a cock Main Characters – 3 in number I.He is the male who is a womaniser. Likes to party – booze, dance, flirt. Name in film – Gutlu (gautam) II. She is a maniser*. *Female who readily agrees to sleep with any male who catches her fancy – opposite of womaniser. She likes to booze, party and even perform strip-tease if she so desires – not for money – just for fun. Name in film – Veronica III. She is ordinary – duped by a wicked male. She maintains a decent decorum – does not believe in diving on bed with just anyone. Tries to maintain chastity in spite of an ass*ole of a husband. Name in film –Meera. cocktail-2012-movie-review-aumaparna Story Line – Cocktail So in the film Gutlu, the flamboyant womaniser, falls in love with Meera and suddenly becomes all goody-goody..maybe because Meera did not agree to sleep with him so she became kinda enigma for him and he started to yearn for her only! Veronica, the happy-go-lucky whore – who slept around with men just for fun and not for money (like for example she had 8 siblings who she had to feed plus ailing parents … so she had to become a prostitute….nothing of that sort…no mushy-sob story here) falls in love with Gutlu! She (Veronica) found Gutlu to be an ideal match for her (which he was actually) simply because he was a womaniser and she was a maniser! Both had their priorities very clear in life – that anyone can meet a better looking sex-partner anytime in life so no one should expect chastity and loyalty from the other one! Both were free to 'happily hump' anyone who caught their fancy anytime! Whereas Meera was the kinds who was totally loyal to a man with whom her marriage did not even consummate! Her husband had fled to London immediately after marriage as he never wanted a typical ganwar (uncouth) Indian wife. So Meera's character was very new to Gutlu! Usually it took him a fraction of a millisecond to take a female to bed…but Meera did not show any interest whatsoever to mingle with him! Both Veronica and Gutlu used to sleep together in the same apartment where all three of them lived. Anyways – a twist came in the tale – here is where the cock tale begins! Gutlu happens to smooch Meera. Being a pro in kissing available whores, Gutlu probably did a good job which totally shook up Meera! That was probably her first kiss in life. Had her husband kissed her on time – maybe this twist in the tail of Veronica had not come at all! Now Meera was in love with Gutlu and Veronica was in lust with Gutlu. Gutlu chose love over lust! Veronica tried to appear all lovey-dovey for Gutlu – she started copying Meera in her ways and mannerisms but it was too late! Veronica realises that Gutlu did not want to sleep around anymore! He was not responding to her 'mating calls or nuances'. In the end, Gutlu marries Meera. Will Veronica also find someone like Gutlu – an ex-womaniser turned loyal for limited time? (oh yes – once such people bed the 'enigma' they re-start their flirtatious nature again! Sex is a highly addictive drug for humans- they cannot get over it easily…and it is said 'once a womaniser (or maniser) always a womaniser – maybe 1 in a million change under some catastrophic circumstance – like maybe meeting with some accident and becoming paralysed below abdomen(like what happened to Hritik in Guzarish – euthanasia….or suffering from erectile dysfunction). Will Meera live happily ever after with Gutlu…or keep doubting that he is sleeping around – even when he is genuinely stuck in some traffic jam on his way back from office. Will Gutlu live happily ever after with Meera…or he will find some sexy siren in the office he works in…and will take her to bed…. All this remains a mystery!",4 "Although the series is better than expected, something is missing, Geralt is the brightest point in the series. The series has its good moments but not too much, if you have played games and read the book then don't expect too much...",7 "I'm astounded by the number of poor reviews for this seres. I just finished it and felt like it was the best sci-fi show in many years. The plot was gripping, and the characters were interesting. Dr. Smith served as a fantastic villain...someone that you loved to dislike. I'm ready for season two. Please...please....Netflix...renew this show for a second season!",9 "Excellent sci-fi series with a lot of great practical effects and attention to detail. The characters were all great (goodies and badies) and the story was captivating and mysterious. Season 4 ruined it for me. It was the opposite of to the above (the upside down :P). The episodes were far too long leading to boredom. They introduced new characters which didnt advance the plot and left some already established characters with nothing to do. On top of this did deep character analysis of the existing characters.",6 Venom Let There Be Carnage does amazing work by keeping you in an ongoing action and developing upon the characters stories without getting boring.,8 "Martin Scorsese could have easily left an hour of this movie on the editing room floor. It may have been interesting if it didn't draw out so long. Also, whatever CGI they used to make Robert De Niro look young was so unnatural that it's the most distracting thing I've ever seen in a movie.",5 "This story of Chernobyl is well told, well acted, and of deep importance. Stories such as this must be told in order for future generations to learn from the faults of the past. And the parallels to climate change are undeniable: an event that has not occurred before with implications for uncountable years to come, battled with denial as a result of fear. This series does a marvelous job of telling the events while showing these connections. But accurately depicting the language and accents, in my opinion, is part of accurately depicting the events and the culture surrounding those events. Despite my great appreciation of this series, I cannot help but be distracted by the choice to use English accents. I read the comments by the creator saying that putting on accents would distract from the acting and that the accent is irrelevant to what's going on in the story. Respectfully, I disagree. If that were the case, then why not just have a made up story resembling Chernobyl but taking place in a made up land, to make it applicable to any time? Why have Gorbachev have an English accent? I find this confusing. I can see some people thinking this event happened in England. Language and accents are part of what puts us in a time and place and adds to the accuracy of events. Would the Nazis be depicted with different accents? Would the events of 9/11 be depicted with George W. Bush having a Chinese accent or even a Boston accent? This series is very well done, but to be a great retelling, I believe there is more that needs to be captured than merely the events.",5 "The movie starts a little bit slow. Then the middle section is quite interesting and exciting. For me the characters are a little bit too much. They are more like caricatures than real people. Nonetheless the acting is fine, there is nothing wrong with the cast. The real downside of the movie is the ending. The whole misery that was built up, the whole movie was quite good until the finale. Without spoilers it's hard to explain my complaint but my problem is that the final conclusion makes no sense at all, it' absolutely unrealistic. Luckily that's not solution of the case it's just the ending. I know that sound cloudy but let's just say the murder misery is fine as a whole but the film does not end with solving the case. The aftermath of the case is where the downfall comes. All in all it's an okay movie that worth a watch for sure but the first movie was better.",6 "I know, many movie goers are probably sick of hearing that from book lovers, but it is a fitting statement for this movie. John Green's descriptions are just so beautiful and eloquent and at the same time really easy to read. I seriously could not put this book down. I started just browsing and I couldn't stop reading. It was amazing. Which was why I was quite disappointed that some of my favorite lines from the book were not in the movie. I also found it hard to see the two actors as lovers, after seeing them as brother and sister in Divergent. Overall there wasn't anything bad about this movie, it just didn't quite do the book justice, and dragged on a bit towards the end. If you have not read the book, I think it is very likely you will enjoy this movie much more than I did. If you have read the book, I don't think it's worth seeing the film. But if you have seen the film, it is definitely worth getting your hands on the book! It will just add so much to the story and experience.",6 "This is the best movie made in India (after movies became colour, and could look realistic). Of course, it is only for those who can take this genre: violence with quite some gore, no morals, no good main characters, musical style. It is at epic proportions. The script is intricately woven (with no bizarre unbelievable twists we frequently see in our movies). The acting is top-notch. The cinematography, costumes, ambience, vision, presentation, conviction are all right up there. Every scene, every emotion is well thought out. The character development is fabulous, although you don't see every character's reaction to every event, when you see the character next you can clearly see how she/he has evolved through the preceding events. What marvelous scripting and editing. The music, oh my god, it grows on you. It is an acquired taste, but once it engulfs you, you are trapped for good. This movie has so much depth, I've watched it multiple times. And still each time I watch it again, I find something new to admire and enjoy. A big thank you to all those who stayed committed to make it. It's a lifetime treasure. If you've seen this movie, watch it again, today, or on the weekend, both parts end-to-end. You'll definitely have a good time. Now I'll go cherish the final sequence again.",10 "Falcon and the Winter Soldier is turn-off-your-brain levels of fun taking place after the Avengers: Endgame movie. It's got loads of political commentary here, but the real thrill is seeing Bucky and Sam kicking ass here and there trying to live up to Captain America's legacy. This isn't a show that requires -nth degree of MARVEL knowledge to enjoy: it's got the same levels of fun as an instalment in the Fast and the Furious movies, or any old fashioned Bruce Willis movie. It's dumb but proud fun; it tries to add some deep political commentary but it doesn't really need it to get its dramatic points across. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is fairly solid entertainment and it doesn't try to pretend to be high-art or anything. I give this show a 4/5 stars: or maybe even 3.5/5. Not sure which, but I definitely enjoyed myself while watching.",8 "I just got home from watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I will try not to give any spoilers, but I thought it was one of the best movies yet. I thought moreover that it was fairly loyal to the book for once, as far as it was possible. I thought the tension build up was very good throughout the movie, I liked seeing the characters being slightly more matured. There are some new kind of 'special effects' in the movie, which was kind of weird to me at first, but I guess it fitted the story. I can't wait to see part two , even though I know what will happen. I will not tell you anymore, but it is definitely worthy to see it in the cinema:)",10 "Distances aren't real,it shouldn't has to have one shot,more shots would help it to have real science.⚡",7 "The plot is a rip-off of No Country For Old Men from the moral ambiguity of it's characters right down to the coin flip to decide who lives and who dies. Heath Ledger chews up the scenery every time he's on screen delivering an over-the-top performance that resembled Jack Nicholson playing the part of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Yet, I found myself longing to see him again during the dull ""character development"" scenes which, considering he's the villain, says a lot. Still, Ledger leaves no doubt that he was one of the truly talented actors of our time, making his premature departure all the more tragic. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention Michael Caine's sublime performance as Alfred the butler, but considering he could perform that one in his sleep, perhaps it goes without statement. Morgan Freeman's talent is wasted in yet another throw-away role which makes you wonder why he keeps doing that. (answer: because he and Caine can't say 'No') The good news is that this film packs plenty of action thrills and special effects that will keep you entertained on a warm Summer evening even if the script is a shameless plagiarism. One more comment for parents: I don't think this movie is appropriate for children. I was surprised it has a PG-13 rating given the level of violence and mayhem combined with dark moral dilemmas. I will not let my 12-year-old see it.",6 "Whoever is saying this movie is fantastic has either not seen Goodfellas, has forgotten how good Goodfellas is, or has never seen a Martin Scorsese film which basically is an identical version of this. I sat through it in three sessions watching it on Netflix. Perhaps it would have been different seeing the entire 3 1/2 hours on a big screen. But I doubt it. I thought the acting was simply the same , different day, snarling, violent caricatures that we have come to expect from the likes of Robert De Niro et al. Just watch Goodfellas again and you will be happier.",4 "I went into this movie thinking it would be great but after about 30 minutes it just became boring and I was just waiting for it to end. Wooden acting and disappointing songs. I'd be interested to see the professional reviews. Next stop, Bohemian Rhapsody for comparison.",4 "Once in a while, every guy has to sit through a girly movie the missus wants to watch.

It is a disaster for some of his fans i would say.Real concepts does not suit for Nolan's direction. At first when people come out from the theatre they will be in excited mode since it is Nolan's direction.I also went through the same feeling but if you think & review the whole movie once from the beginning then the genuine review comes.",5 "How do you make such a terrible movie with so many incredible actors? The dialogue is painfully awkward, disjointed, artificial, flat, and pretentious. Christian Bale is like a Billy Crystal caricature half the time. Every scene feels forced and simultaneously like an after thought. I kept watching thinking and hoping it had to get better. It did not. I felt like I was watching a high school theater class do improv while drunk and/or stoned, thinking they were terribly clever and deep but actually just banal and superficial. This movie was truly painful to watch. Then in the last 5 minutes someone realized that they'd better literally spell out the intended message for the masses via narration since the movie itself couldn't carry it. How, how could this movie possibly be THIS BAD?? It had so much potential with it's talent pool, and apparently it was at least partly loosely based on an actual event. But by the end of this belabored and misdirected monstrosity you won't even care.",1 "I watched all 37 episodes. Yes, the show is extremely well made and extremely interesting. There is no doubt about that. However, about half way through i started getting a terrible feeling in my stomach. I could not tolerate watching what was unfolding on the screen. I started watching more episodes each day. Not so I could see what comes next. But rather so the show could finally end. Even the ending of this show is disgusting and serves no justice. The show is truly despicable, and people out there need to know both sides. I caution everyone out there. DO NOT trust the ratings. The high rating is because of how interesting, intriguing and well made this show is. It is not, however, a show you should watch. You will not feel anything but disgust at the end. You will not feel good. You will not feel, well, anything. You have been warned.",1 "Too many villains, everyone's fighting at the same time, not sure who I'm rooting for or supposed to be afraid of. Writing was a mess in this season. It's a real bummer.",4 What a brilliant narrative this movie has and the dop has done a sic job! Must watch I would say. Should've promoted the movie more though!,10 "I'm not even really sure what I just watched. There was gratuitous violence, sexual deviancy, and unfortunate accents. And usually, I like that kind of stuff.",1 This is an incredible movie. Dont go with the planned negative reviews by bots. This movie is genuinely a great movie. Please do not miss this movie with your family. Society needs to wake up to the trauma faced by the downtrodden people in India. And also the discrimination shown by the upper community is a very common practice.,10 Writing a short review as a civil servant. Could not connect with the series from an aspirant's point of view. The series revolves around relationship with UPSC in the background whereas it should have been the other way around. Small details not captured properly like talking about ethics paper during 4 attempts era etc. It seems that not enough discussions were done with actual aspirants and looks like a series written by an outsider with his perception of UPSC.,4 "I really wanted to like it, but sorry, I just can't. First, the movie wants to be as original as possible but loses any depth on the way. It wants to be funny but the level of humor is so primitive and vulgar, it just makes you roll your eyes over and over. After they deliver a joke, they will make sure to explain and repeat it as many times as possible, because they're sure their audience is dumb. I would've given a star for their makeup and costumes, but it's so artificial and out of place, it feels like the movie was too boring and they just robed a neerby drag queen store. One star is for the main actress' performance and the second one is also for her performance, because there's nothing else in this movie.",2 "The filming is excellent and, despite a few minor plot holes, this is a fun, suspenseful show that you can watch as a family, a welcome and rare opportunity these days.",8 "I gave initially 7 stars, but I changed it to 4. Why? It's not close to get even 1 Oscar. 7 stars was for a little sympathy for the Korean films. But getting undeserved 5 Oscar's has let me lose all the sympathy for this film. A Bollywood kind ending was terrible enough. The social message of the film has also big problems which bothered me during watching it. A low class family manipulate a rich family to infiltrate, taking advantage of them, lying and cheating, doing harm to other poor people, letting lose their jobs, is not a way to show a way to get attention to the class differences. I'm very disappointed in the Academy Awards. There has been many good foreigner films in last decade and non has won any decent prize.",3 "The spare of franchises being ""modernized"" has generally fallen well flat for me. It started with the Star Trek reboot movie, on full display with the new Star Wars movies and now we are seeing it in Lost in Space. The story, character development, and general themes all miss the point. It is missed so badly that the new stuff should not even bear the name of the classics. This is a big 'don't waste your time' - poor acting, poor storytelling, poor character development. I did give another star for production quality, the visual effects are good.",2 "There is no absolute right or wrong position on both sides of the civil war. The United States team is the embodiment of very justice , he believes in truth, goodness and beauty, he believes in the kindness of winter soldiers (in fact, winter soldiers are indeed manipulated by Hydra). Winter soldier is the only person in the world that the United States team has known since before he went to sleep, a spirit that no one can replace. A lot of people say the United States team is selfish, I don't think so. The Black Widow finally helped the United States team and the winter soldiers leave, so many people on the captain's side, not just a large number of people, but said that the captain's justice and salvation were accepted by more people. And Iron Man, uh, only wanted to catch the winter soldier, and his conceit in the positive film made him not see the truth of the facts. After reading the third book, it is heartache in two words. Why is the heartache? The fight between the American team, the winter soldier and the Iron Man, of course: the captain wanted to protect the winter soldier, Tony wanted revenge for killing his parents, and Tony was angry because the captain knew about it and didn't tell himself. It was a good show for a good brother to die. At the end, when Tony was alone and lonely, he received a letter from the captain. The captain's magnetic voice softened my heart.Fight is hit, emotional injury broken, but as long as you need them to need me, we will be with you to fight with you. That's how heartache it is. I like the United States team.",8 I watch the first episode and immediately turned it off and deleted my Netflix account. No way they're getting my money if they put it towards creating shows like this. And I hear they have new episodes coming out all the time? What has become of this world we live in? Utter garbage.,1 I truly liked the first season but the second one was on the OKAY side.,8 "I loved this movie from the core, the emotional roller coaster with perfect blending of Comedy. Rakshith Shetty and Charlie the Labrador Retriever dog steals the show, Raj B Shetty, Bobby Simha, Sangeetha Sringeri Justified their roles. BGM is excellent.",10 "Seasons one and two are great. Third season is Ok. But the fourth has lost the tune most of the time. Sad. Some young actors are performing like robots. Wwhen they were children were doing it great, more natural.",7 "This is simply the best cartoon I have EVER seen, right next to Gargoyles, Inuyasha and Samurai Champloo. It's just amazing, enough words cannot be said for how awesome this cartoon is. The atmosphere, action, voice acting, animation, everything as far as I'm concerned is unsurpassed by any other cartoon.You simply cannot go through life and not see this cartoon. I'm not kidding at all, it's THAT good. I hope they make a movie out of this show, not a huge budget one of course, one done in Laue of the show, and straight to DVD one. :D Gah, it says I don't have enough lines to publish my comment. :P Guess I'll type down here a little...",10 I am impressed. It gives greater insight after what happened immediately after endgame. Also there were some returning characters which was very fun to watch. Also the story is good. There is humour. Overall a must-watch for MCU fans,8 "Now they've released the trailer for S4, the final season of the series. It will premiere on June 5th and unfortunately I'll probably watch it. But it certainly looks more like S3 than S1 in terms of quality. Unfortunate that they couldn't build an intriguing narrative after they ran out of the source material. I understand this is difficult to do but man did they really miss the mark on some things in S2 and S3. S2 wasn't terrible, S3 kinda was.",7 "I have to admit that I am amazed at the ""live"" animals, and I like what they have done with the song ""In the jungle"" (or what it is called). But the rest... nah, not very interesting. The characters, both to look at and to listen to, portray little to no emotions. The sass from the original is gone. Some one-liner jokes were good, but the rest left me with nothing. I will not recommend this version.",2 "Disappointing movie. If you've watched the trailer then you've probably watched most of the movie already. Same old story about stupid teens making stupid mistakes. A few jump scares that's it.",4 "I'm big fan of apocalypse movie but this movie is difference, I got different feeling from it. If you have ever experience long bad dream. I think this movie is. All the cut it's similar to human bad dreams. Good story.",7 One of the best movie i have ever watched. Every one was entertaining,10 "Fantastic! Awesome! Epic! This is one of my favorite comic book films. It may seem a bit cheesy, but I assure you, the cheesiness is intended! It has a great story, with emotional scenes and awesome action sequences. I have to say, however, I'm not a fan of Doctor Octopus, and why does Spider-Man shoot web from his wrists?? But it's a good movie, anyway.",9 "This Korean film was unbelievablely popular last year in China, but I didn't see it at that time, because I sort of unconsciously have a dislike to something that nearly everybody else is crazy over. But everybody I knew recommended this film. So I finally decided to see it, this morning, and it won me instantly. I am not a keen fan for romantic comedies, though I do enjoy films like Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, etc. This film should fall in the same category. The lead roles are brilliant. The girl of the film, you might not like her at start, but as the film goes along she just turns more and more beautiful as you get to know her and her past. The boy, on the other hand, is likeable from the word go (not the handsome type, but quite funny). The comedy is enjoyable and provides some good laughs, but as the film develops into the second hour it just turns so romantic. Of course everybody knows the boy and girl will get together in the end, but the process is really ""tormenting"". This might not be a great film, but it's truly romantic and great fun to watch. 8 out of 10.",8 "The Bolshoi ballerina Dominika Egorova (Jennifer Lawrence) supports her ill mother with her work. When she has an accident of the stage that ends her career, he uncle Vanya Egorov (Matthias Schoenaerts) from the Russian Intelligence offers Dominika to work for the government. She succeeds in her assignment and Vanya recruits her for the notorious Sparrow School where the women learn how to get information for the Russian intelligence using their bodies. Meanwhile the CIA operative in Moscow Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton) falls in disgrace when he creates a diversion in the Gorky Park to save the mole Marble from the police. However he convinces his superiors to let him go to Budapest to have a final encounter with Marble to indicate a new contact. Dominika is assigned to meet Nash and discover the mole´s identity in a spy cat-and-mouse game. ""Red Sparrow"" is a highly entertaining spy movie with a complex story. Jennifer Lawrence shines in the lead role despite the terrible hair bangs and the absolutely lack of chemistry with Joel Edgerton. The last plotting point is absolutely unexpected and will certainly surprise the viewers. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): ""Operação Red Sparrow"" (""Red Sparrow Operation"")",7 "This was in no way a competition to the original 2009 film. I generally found this lacking in the pointless storyline, it felt it dragged, at times I was sat bored wanting more. I had high expectations for this film as it's been in production for so long, and I think to myself why did it take so long to make when it was such a time waster....nevertheless. On a much brighter note if you can get past the tedious storyline, the unnecessary long film (3 hours long) what a joke...the CGI was phenomenally superb, very believable. I'd avoid avoid avoid at all costs, tedious storyline, 3 hour pointless duration. Very underwhelming.",2 "It started off great, the first 3 episodes were very gripping, after that, it's all talk and no substance. Gets super boring real quick and there's not much substance that it offers so they stretched it too much till 10 episodes. Not worth watching, don't waste your time please.",3 "I was really hopeful about this movie. But if you have seen it you know what rubbish it was. ***SPOILER ALERT*** This first part was supposed to be the character development part of WW. There was nothing of it. Poor start. The mother changed her firm position of no training for little diana in a minute, in two lines! A land which was hidden from the God of War, and out of nowhere a man and a whole bunch of army finds it? without any explanation? Seriously? The fighting skill of the Amazons were nowhere to be found in the first scene other than the jumping and dancing stuff. Action scenes were different than usual(if you haven't seen BvS) with all of them being in Slow-mo! Bit tired of it. One can go on and on about the stupid stuffs in this movie. Shocked to see 8 out of 10 in IMDb! and 92% in RT! Sigh! So much expectation, and this.",3 "I think Adam Sandler's performance in this film is great, but the film was way too hard to follow. It seemed like every scene I had to focus like I was taking a math exam just to figure out what was going on. Everyone was talking at the same time, constant yelling, and the music made for this film actually hurt my ears.",5 "I expected for something dark (not in image but in concept) and found a goofy caracter in venom, and surprisingly also in Hardys caracter. Poor writing and rookie effects. Not even entertaining.",2 "This series is just awesome, taking the piss of the super hero genre and doing this spot on. The only bad thing for me is billy butcher's ( karl urban's) wannabe cockney accent. Sometimes you can really hear the effort of him trying to be cockney, but most of the times it feels like aussie or new zealand accent. This, to me, is really irritating. I'm not trying to kick karl urban to the curb, it is not his fault. The director however, should have noticed this and should have pushed him more",8 "Binged season 1 and 2 within a week and I absolutely cannot wait for season 3! I love the story, the characters, and oh my god the music. The music choices fit the mood and are amazing bops. I find myself more often than not, moving my body to the beat especially during the retro vibe ones. Each and every one of the characters are so unique and different that it's so interesting to hear their past and learn about them. I don't have a favourite hero because it's hard to like just one! As the story progressed I couldn't stop watching because I was dying to know what's next. I didn't find it to be predictable rather, I was kept on my toes throughout. There may be plot holes like some people say but it's not that prominent to me and it's not something that distracted me from watching the show.",9 "Almost as perfect a film as you can get. I heard a quote once (can't remember who said it, sorry) that said, in an ideal world all movies would be directed by the Coen brothers. And who'd argue with that?!",10 """Spider-Man 2"" is a perfectly realized and personal vision of the Marvel Comics superhero played by Tobey Maguire, who is given his extraordinary powers by a bite from a genetically-modified spider. The sequel to 2002's mega-blockbuster is heavy on wall-to-wall special effects and action sequences, but surprisingly there's a strong human element within all of the chaos. Peter's life is more harried and frustrating this time around: he's in college (but is late for his classes), is fired from a job as a pizza delivery boy, is on shaky grounds with his friend Harry (James Franco), Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) is about to be evicted, and he still burns with unrequited love for Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), who's about to be married. These might all seem to be a terrible burden on Peter's life, however, that is until a new villain arises to challenge Spider-Man, the once brilliant and benevolent Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina, perfectly cast; equal times pitiable and loathsome), who becomes ""Dr. Octopus"" (""Doc Ock"" to the press) when an accident fuses four mechanical tentacles to his body. Director Sam Raimi knew what he was going for when he decided to take on the task of bringing ""Spider-Man 2"" to the big screen. He's come a long way from his days as ""that guy"" who made the ""Evil Dead"" to become a well-respected filmmaker. His direction is much more focused and has polished the faults of the first film (I don't think there were as many as some have claimed). As Roger Ebert states in his review, ""Spider-Man 2"" is more like a ""film"" as opposed to a ""blockbuster"" or a ""superhero"" or ""comic book"" movie. It has the qualities of a dramatic action flick, a rarity in Hollywood these days. As for the story and characters, it's well-balanced and less hectic than the first film. Also, the ending is a lot more satisfactory, especially for hopeless romantics like myself. The performances are great, especially from Maguire, who reacts with the right amount of grief, frustration, and anger over dawning the suit of Spider-Man. The most truly great performance, I think, comes from Alfred Molina. Molina, who is pretty familiar to most audiences, comes off as quite understanding as Dr. Octopus. When we first meet him, which is when he first meets our hero Peter, we can only wonder how does this nice man become one of the most popular and brilliant Spidey villains ever envisioned? Octopus is sadistic and quite terrifying, not menacing and psychopathic like Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin from the first film. I don't believe that ""Spider-Man 2"" is better than the first film, but is better-made, more streamlined and fluid, with a big touch of realism. This film is more human than most superhero flicks as of late and for that reason it gets a ""10,"" just as I rated ""Spider-Man"" a ""10"" two years ago when I saw that film. Can't wait for ""3"" in a few years.",10 "This movie dragged on and on and on. It felt like 4 hours, just repeating the same inane scenes and dialogue over and over and over. Movie was depressing and boring, be kind to each other before the sun destroys the earth and human life is wiped out and forgotten forever or something. Giving it 2 stars, at least got to see Shortround again. Once again, this movie dragged on and on and on.

Giving it 2 stars, at least got to see Shortround again.",2 "If you like a movie in which a psychopath with an army chases down a defenceless family of mostly kids then this is the film for you. There's nothing more to it than that, really, no subtlety, no nuance, just a giant sledgehammer of a plot surrounded by pretty looking scenery. At one point in the middle I wanted to get up and leave, and if I had been on my own, I would have gone. I am sick to death of movies that revolve around long drawn out fighting scenes and gratuitous violence, it's not that I'm a pacifist, but they are just so boring. Seen one fight, you've seen them all, really. Seen hundreds of them, you just think for crying out loud, Hollywood, give us something else for once. TWOW could have been so much better if they had bothered with some kind of plot. I am unlikely to bother with the inevitable sequel. That's three hours of my life I won't get back.",2 "This movie has many unexplained gaps, banking on effects rather than smarts. Boring, and personally, I do not understand the ""stellar"" ratings.",4 "I think the acting, script and production values are all great. However, I don't think many MCU fans wanted something different. I was looking forward to this show going into it blind. Without my faith in Disney I wouldn't watch a show like this at all. Hopefully it turns in a different direction soon. I really want to like it.",5 "I really liked season 1. It was great. There were signs of things to come with all the emphasis on how wonderful in every way Mabel is. Eye rolling in the extreme. It's intersectional feminism. She's called ""amazing"" so often, it's ridiculous. That aside, the writing was solid and engaging and the irritations I felt could be compartmentalised and didn't ruin the overall enjoyment of the mystery. If Steve Martin wasn't in it, however, I would probably not watch. The intersectional post modern writing is very sadly turned up to 11 in season 2. What on Earth is Amy Schumer doing in this? Or Cara Delevingne? The quality of the writing took a dive. I don't think they had a plan for season 2. Well, if they did, they have done a very poor job with execution. One good season will have to do...",7 "This movie is based on history, like Titanic. But imagine watching Titanic and not caring at all about Jack and Rose. Plus laughing while the boat sinks. That is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Leo does an excellent job acting though and there are some surprisingly funny moments which raise this movie to a 5. Wait to watch when you are stuck on an airplane.",5 "It has a good story and especially tech people will like it. Also people who love to contemplate in a if/then/else more. People say that the main actress was horrible. Well, in my view, she was not the perfect cast, but also not so horrible as some people say. So watch it, enjoy it, it is worth it.",8 "Alex Garland makes smart fiction. It is smart, in the traditions of Asimov, raising eternal questions: what is life, what is consciousness, what is intelligence. Technology in Garland's films is always just a stepping stone to these issues. ""Devs"" did not disappoint, after the interesting ""Ex Machina"" and ""Annihilation"" Garland made an excellent sci-fi in the mini-series format. The plot develops around a breakthrough in quantum computing. By creating a quantum supercomputer, using the principle of quantum superposition on the scale of the universe, you can see the visualization of any event from the past or look into the future. Who in this case is a person - does they have free will or merciless determinism determines any of our ""choices""? Garland has always been good at ending his films, and Devs is no exception. After the final credits, you sit and think - maybe the fatalists are right, and there is nothing but fate? And all ""freedom of choice"" is the essence of the illusion of choice. As if the train thought it was deciding where it was going. I used to think that the worst thing in life is irreversibility. But what really terrifies me is predestination.",8 "Season one: 9/10 Great thriller. Intense, well-written, and well-paced. Season two: 7/10 Acceptable main story, fun character development, but entirely useless subplots and a few too many clichés. Season three: 4/10 A waste of time. Predictable, silly plot, no tension, no character development for anyone, 8 hours of regurgitated Hollywood clichés.",5 A few people recommended this to me so thought i'd give it a go. I was intrigued at first but the show quickly lost my interest. Paul Mescal's and Daisy Edgar-Jones's acting was very good but their characters were very frustrating. I perservered and watched the full series. Didn't get much better. 12 episodes of stress i didn't really need.,5 Hopeless movie . Boycott bullywood druggies. Donate your money to charity. Scoundrels need to be slapped each one of them,1 "Extremely slow & boring. Throwing in some lame dance scenes is not helping, not funny& not entertaining. It is written too safe and paced to be able to have more episode's. Stopped watching after few .....can't do it",1 "What an awesome story! This movie is just wonderful from beginning to end. The main characters have great chemistry together and you can really feel both. The story begins in a weird kind of way and evolves into something that seems basic, but really it's much more complex than we know at first. By the end everything made total sense and it was simply beautiful. I really couldn't believe the ending was so well done, great writing! I would definitely suggest you see this it's just wonderful.",10 "I've been a fan of Mads Mikkelson for a long time. I remember seeing him in Danish movies years ago. So when I heard he'd done three seasons in a show as Dr. Hannibal Lecter, I figured I was in for a treat. For the most part, I absolutely loved this show. There were a few hangups, but they were easily surpassed by what I was seeing. This show is a visual masterpiece; it's serious eye candy! The main thing I didn't like were in the character of Will Graham, although overall he was good. Additionally, I felt like the storyline of the first season relied too heavily on what was happening at the FBI, gory crime scenes, etc. and not enough emphasis was put on Hannibal -- afterall, they did name the show after him! If you're a fan of 1993's ""Silence of the Lambs"" or 2000's ""Hannibal"", then chances are you are going to love this series. I just would've done a few things differently if I'd written the show, mainly focusing more on Hannibal and less on the supporting characters. Well I really must go now, as I'm having an old friend for dinner.",8 "Bit different to the way it is portrayed in the ads, and after a shift in tone about 10 minutes in I found it predictable. Well acted, but could have done with more Sam Rockwell.",7 "This web series will leave you nothing short of getting shell shocked. The first applause should go to Vikram Chandra who had written the magnificent novel on which the series is based on 10/10 for him. Next applause comes the 3 directors Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane and Neeraj Ghaywan who have put this masterpiece together. Condensing the 900 page novel into a web series is no joke and the screenplay writers headed by Varun Grover deserve an applause too. So does the editor Arthi Bajaj who would have spent hundreds of hours editing the hundreds of breathtaking scenes to do justice to writings and the vision of the directors. Photography in this series speaks volumes of the quality of both the cinematographers, just like the sound and background score that was there and wasn't there at the same time, which is terrific. The Music for the opening credits is one of the most powerful score I have ever heard, it deserves a very loud applause, so does production design and costumes. Now the big guns, the actors who played every single character were exceptional and every thing was played to a perfection. A special mention and a thunderous applause to Nawazuddin Siddiqui who played Ganesh Gaitonde. This series brought out the best of Saif Ali Khan, I believe this is the best work in his career since 1993. Pankaj Tripathy as Guruji pulled a stunner as well. Almost all actors played their parts very well, I could see almost no flaws at all. The characters from the series Ganesh Gaitonde, Sartaj Singh, Guruji, Anjali Mathur, Bunty, Batya, Kantha bai, Jojo, Parulkar, Zoya Mirza, Malcom, Katekar, Majid, Kukoo, Isa, Subhadra, Mathu, Trivedi, kusum Devi Yadav and Bhosle will leave you mesmerised forever. Awaiting season 3.",9 "This entire movie had me questioning everything. Brutal script/brutal acting/brutal CGI. Why would they make ms Gomez call herself America? Dumb. All of the other superhero's were brutal. Brutal movie all together.",4 "With Sherlock Holmes, I've never read any of the old books, and I got my education pretty much from the movies. That'd be Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, who I still prefer to Robert Downey and Jude Law. But I do concede that great liberties were also taken even with those beloved 1940s Universal versions. It makes sense too when people point out that we love Lugosi's Dracula and Karloff's FRANKENSTEIN, but they're not the true versions as written either, not by a longshot. It really makes you feel like you want to give this movie a fair pass too, if you honestly consider that we let so many older things slide. However, I think it's not so much that there are changes and modernizing per se; the question is more: have these updates and changes worked for you? I liked the score in this film, which kind of reminded me a bit of the music in Jess Franco's ""El Conde Dracula"", of all things. I thought it was good having the story take place in olden times, and I liked Jude Law as Watson. As for Robert Downey, he did not strike me as Sherlock Holmes - that is, not the vision of Holmes I have burned into my brain - but if one is willing to be more open minded in this case, he was enjoyable in the part in his own new way. I despised Rachel McAdams in this movie; she just came off as way too 21st Century-like for this era. My main gripes with the film are the same typical problems I find with so many newer movies... way too many climaxes (is it over now? How about now?), and that annoying ""woooossshh!!"" speed photography and trick camera shots the filmmakers seem so compelled to do today, mostly for flashback moments. ** out of ****",5 """It doesn't matter what I feel. It doesn't matter what I think. The dead are still dead."" I don't know, I just couldn't force myself to like this movie. It is a touching story but it failed to impress me. It just drags on really slowly portraying everyone as nothing more than depressed people with moral problems that, in my humble opinion, just don't make a lot of sense. This movie doesn't work due to its lack of proper ways of narration and its pretentious pseudo-philosophical exaggerations about important topics like guilt and moral values, just far away from true human nature and compassion.",4 "This is so bad. The acting, especially the LEAD Actress Lilly (Mizuna). Her acting becomes unwatchable. Then the show becomes unwatchable. I made it (barely) through Ep. 3 but that's my last. It's empty, flat, poorly written, directed. All that on top of cringe acting. Even the great Offerman seemed off. I thought his presence would at least make it worth watching.",1 "It's a Michael Bay film so you should roughly know what to expect. Lots of action and a massive production. The story isn't that bad, just take it for what it is. Most Hollywood movies are farfetched. Considering it's a Netflix original I'd say well done.",7 Total waste of time... No chance to watch by seeing 7 Rating... This is over rated rubbish...,2 "I'm older so was very concerned this would be too YA for me, but I gave the first episode a chance and ended up watching all 3 released episodes. The show has the same feel of Boys, but a bit more serious and less outright comical - although there are some very funny bits. I see a lot of complaints about the lead actress - who is very pretty by the way. I see comments like she is unlikeable. However, if you watch all 3 released epis you will see her character evolve and evolve again. Give her a chance. Her power is quite bizarre. The manifestation of it is a horror. However, it has some interesting applications that one might not see at first until it is used. I believe her and the girl playing her roommate, are actresses to watch out for in the future. In fact, the young cast as a whole, all unknown to me, are very solid. The blond who dates Golden Boy (played by Arnie's son) stood out to me as well, as does the guy who plays the Magneto-like supe. Clancy Brown has a small but important role with this one soliloquy that was excellently done, and just evil. If you like The Boys, then I don't see why you would not like this show.",8 "Simply, the entire story is written by a 7 years old who has good friends managing the special effects. Stan Lee is rolling in his grave because of this stupidity presented as a Marvel film. So sad and dissapointed.",2 "I just finished watching the entire 1st season (in only one day), so that can say a great deal about the script behind this anime. Yeah... the script is very interesting, well written. It has that ""touch"" of curiosity required by any decent anime. But... when it comes to graphics... it's an entire other story. For a 2013 production... I was expecting a much much higher quality of the scenes, of the special effects, of the face details... and especially of the monsters... Common people... is this for real? When I look the giants I'm remembering my anatomy classes from high school... Most of them look like they were painted by 10 y.o. children... and in some fight scenes, their graphics is in total contrast with the background... The generic... is too long, but the music is very catchy.",7 "I stopped watching after 25 min. Reason is first 18 minutes are wasted on car chasing. Those 18 min has thousand cuts which are enough for headache. Even after that chasing sequence, normal conversation scene between characters were shot with unnecessary close up shot, abrupt cut, shaky camera. God knows wtf director was smoking on editing table. Did he even bother to take look at final outcome ?",4 "Just binged season 2 in a few days. First of all I thought season 2 was vastly better than season 1! It's not perfect but I finished season 2 wanting more. The middle section of season 2 is a little boring but push through if you enjoy science fiction! The locales could do with a little more explaining, yes viewers like science and google maps lol This is a great series for the family. If you buy into the fun, you can overlook its flaws. The cgi is well done making for some pretty cool looking environments!",8 "The cast isn't fit for their role as their performance doesn't match the true intent of the show. The narrative style is similar to Garland's previous works, Ex Machines and Annihilation, but that is not suitable for a ten episodes series. Although I felt the backstory drama unnecessary, Devs does definitely deserve a watch for its brilliant mix of emotions and scifi",7 "I would have happily paid $30+ to see this if it had been made available for early release on any streaming platform but I guess me and the rest of the second class citizens in this world will just have to save our money, make good life decisions and sit this one out.",1 "It's Forrest Gump goes to war, with a constant instrumental ""drumbeat"" substituting for a musical score. Uses ""expired film"" color either for a vintage look, or to increase the feeling of stress. The lead characters seem to be involved in everything that happened at Dunkirk, selflessly rescuing dozens while being rejected by others. There is no telling of strategy or options, it merely shows a continual tableau of sympathetic characters in constant peril. Seeing someone almost certainly drowning may be a heart wrenching scene, but when the whole movie is nothing but, it gets dull. I stopped watching with 25 minutes to go.",2 "Breakthrough is an uplifting movie, which makes it almost impossible to dislike. However, even though the true story is miraculous, the way the film unfolds is pretty predictable, and the acting is hit-and-miss. It could have also been a little shorter. Nevertheless, I found myself caught up in the plot a number of times and was impressed with the quality of the filmmaking.",6 Absolutely nothing happens in the movie. Waste of my time. Movies just have been so bad in the 70's for this movie to be as highly regarded as it is. Wish I could have my two hours back.,3 "After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy-the Winter Soldier.",8 "Word cannot describe how great this show is. One of my favorite characters, Zuko, has the best character development I've seen. This shows was really amazing with little to no flaws.",10 "Th critics are either liars our were paid to say this was the best Marvel Movie, tis film comes NOWHERE CLOSE to films like the original Iron Man, Deadpool, or Logan. This was definitely an attempt the fashionable diversity quotas in Hollywood nowadays. Other than the ooh aah special effects, this film offered little substance than what was already on the surface. I get it, powerful African Americans and females are popular right now but this film just shoves it in your face, I was really turned off by it. I considered leaving the film about halfway through but figured I payed for it, might as well finish it. As I said the spectacles were are as to be expected with the wild high budgets of Marvel films. With that it had some unique special effects and wild rides that I suppose are worth the price of admission. But th story is just atrocious, poorly written and really did not suck me in. During scenes of dialogue I rolled my eyes and just waited for the next sequence of special effects. And again, I've got no problem with films about minority culture, I find them very interesting, but this was just in your face propaganda, it was just so terrible, I was truly turned off this film. I would say skip this trash.",3 "DeNiro, trying to be the young tough guy he was 50 years ago. It just doesn't work. Joe Pesci, who I love, just didn't cut it. he was smirking the whole time, almost in awe of DeNiro. the movie did not suck, but these guys are just too old, there was literally nothing new here. What a disappointment.",2 "... and that is the whole story. The film is full of fights, explosions and so on. In many cases it is even not clear, why. Good actors is a plus and friends of action only films will like it. For me, it was boring.",4 "4rth season tried hard to join all the story threads but it just plain sucks. First three are smart comedic pieces, with michael bluth at the helm. The star cast is stellar.",7 "I found this movie slow and tedious in the first 20 minutes or so and at times during the rest of the movie. I also thought the last quarter or so of the film was bizarre. As for the soundtrack, nothing special. I did appreciate that a lot of philosophical questions arise as one watches this movie regarding humans place in the universe and the physical size of the universe and time. On the other hand, I also had the feeling that I was watching an updated version of ""2001, A Space Odyssey"" particularly with the sequence through the wormhole in this movie versus the Stargate in 2001. Also the similarity of the rectangular shapes of the robots to the obelisk, and a few other minor similarities. All in all, I felt this movie was okay, but far from great, and probably will not watch it again unlike some other sci-fi movies including the aforementioned ""2001, A Space Odyssey"".",6 Barely Hallmark Channel material let alone the cost of a serious movie. For the price you really get bent over once again by the priests. Acting is mediocre at best and production is much more along b movie line. I would be willing to pay more for a bad b movie than sit through this again.,1 "There is something missing from this movie. The magic quality all other films of the franchise had is missing. It felt disjointed and there was no substance. The visual effects are stunning. Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law are brilliant in their roles. I feel they cast the wrong person in Johnny Depp, he doesn't give a vibe to the character like he had done in other roles in the past that he has done. It's too forced. The whole movie is forced and felt rushed. What a failure for the franchise and most importantly as the second instalment of Fantastic Beasts. Any future films for this franchise, I'll wait to watch on the TV rather than going to the cinema.",6 It would be ok movie if the music didn't ruin it completely. Horrible music.,4 "Wow! How do they manage to squeeze so much bad into one series? Not funny enough to be a sitcom; not interesting enough to be a drama, not even a good sci-fi - bad acting, bad writing, bad concept. Makes absolutely no sense. The credits are practically as long as each episode and so far the most interesting part - and that's not saying much. Keep your social media or a pillow handy to escape the boredom. A total trainwreck! What was Disney thinking?",1 "The Boys is fresh. I know that sounds like a Rotten Tomatoes critic review but this was pretty refreshing. Casting is all great and all of the powers are really cool. I think this sets up a lot of really cool ideas and characters that I'm excited to see where it all goes. Homelander is a super compelling villain and Vought itself is your typical giant corporation. I think this show deserves a lot of praise because this is the first thing I've seen that shows the true affects that superheros would have on the world because yeah, lets face it. Countries would try to use them for good, but they also aren't about to send them to war like dropping a nuke.",8 "The FILM:I have recently watched the movie Parineeta. I was highly impressed by the way the movie was setup. The director has been very meticulous in creating the feel of the old era. There was not a single point in the film where one could say that the backdrop of the film was not contiguous. The film was a very great experience. Characters: Vidya Balan was exceptionally good. In fact the ease with which she played the character, makes one wonder if she is a débutante. I must say that she has done justice to the character. Well done Vidhu Vinod Chopra, you have again found a VERY talented young lady. Saif showed that he has matured as an actor and is very versatile in the kind of roles that he has been offered. Saif's acting in this film was awesome. I think Saif can challenge any film critic who questions his abilities to act. He has emerged into a fabulous actor. And with this film he has put himself in line for an award. That goes for Vidya too. RATING: I did not give a 10/10 just because of the climax of the film. It did not have to be so melodramatic.",9 "This movie's biggest crime (aside from the 2 hour run time and the waste of a field of talent) is its misnomer of a title. Filmed in Los Angeles, none of the unique charm of the city of Amsterdam is captured in this film. Would have given a 0/10 if possible. Not a single canal in over two hours of film. Had this movie shot on location, perhaps the gorgeous lamp lined canal streets of Amsterdam could have masked the lifeless and frankly (that's not meant to be an Amsterdam pun) boring disaster of a plot. They could have changed the title to any other city in the world and you'd never have known the difference. All in all, don't name your movie after an iconic city if you're not going to film it there and not going to make it look even remotely like it. Erase this movie from existence and give the city of Amsterdam a movie deserving of its name.",1 Lame story filled with the usual race politics. Bore off.,2 "This movie was just bad. Not even talking about the fact that the adaptation of the book is bad. There is to much key elements left out. I have read the book and was just so confused in the way they jumped in the story without any backstory to lean upon. And really, did it have to be so cheesy? There is a love story in the book, but it's a slow growing relation that is actually quite well written. This is like you meet a player in a random online game. You quest/play together a couple of hours. Next time you meet is at the church for the wedding becuse feelings.. jeez.",5 "After this movie won the Oscar, I watched the movie. At the beginning, I recognized that this is another American movie that shows American Army as not like an invader in Iraq. I hated it. Throughout the movie there is nothing but disarming bombs. I do not know anything about bombs or I've never been in army, but I can easily realize that there are a lot of cracks in this movie. First, why that sniper did not shot the EOD soldier instead of shooting the car. Is this the way of trying to detonate the bomb? Are you serious? Also why he was trying to enter that house and then how the lady in the house kicked an armed man's ass? At the end of movie, director thought that she gave a big impression on the viewer. She believed that she showed an American Soldier life in Iraq. I don't think so. This movie has a lot of holes, and I do not understand why this movie was nominated for an Oscar and how it won the Oscar. Up, Inglorious Bastards and District 9 are much better movies that this crap.",4 "I watched the first five seasons of 24 on DVD back to back, literally one after another, and it has been one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had. The first season is very entertaining and compelling, but it doesn't yet have that gripping, relentless pace and intensity that this series has with the following season, n. 2. As new characters step in, we fall in love with them and we see them killed we slowly begin to realize that the only one we can (perhaps) get somehow attached to is our somehow old hero Mr. Jack Bauer, and no one else. I found seasons 4 and 5 absolutely amazing, one of the most unforgettable cinematic experiences, far better than any movie of this genre I had ever seen before. This is why I was somehow disappointed that season 6 didn't quite live up to expectations: I found it more claustrophobic (the President in the bunker for most of the series), lacking the romantic undertone the other seasons had (and Audrey not quite herself didn't help) and less credible now that with Jack Bauer has set aside his skills as a torturer to please network censorship rules. So, I guess we're all waiting to see what Season 7 will be bring, hoping that the writers' strike will not bring to a situation where in order to catch up with the delay the series will have to be written too fast. Season 6 clearly suffered from underdevelopment, while every detail of the previous 5 appeared to have been conceived with the utmost accuracy.",10 "I agree with most of the seem-like real reviews: there's a problem with casting and wigs all along ! This alone takes a great deal of interest off the show, those peeps crowding the main stand are so bland and those white wigs don't give them justice ! Didn't they realize they looked cheesy, unappealing and unbelievable ?!? The whole thing made me just feel I was watching a bad thought out B movie.. But it's alright, budget reason so let's give it a try and go ahead.. In the end plot was just average, not hooked like GoT first episode but nevertheless watchable, but of course if that's gonna be it also on the next 2 episodes the hype will have all the reasons to wear off.",6 "It's the most impressive series in a series, and I feel like I'm a shield family, and I hope the series will continue beyond seven seasons",10 So much of this movie seems to NOT be about Batman. This director made a movie drama with a brief guest star in it called Batman. He lost the essence of the true Batman. I don't think I saw Batman really in the movie until after at least 1/2 hour. This movie was too long and it didn't need to be. And Hathaway was fine as Catwoman but did you realize your alter ego is a cat...did you understand that Anne? At least one meow would have lightened things up a little. I really think the video games catch the essence better without being corny or overly serious. Arkham City to name one. All in all the movie needed some serious editing.,6 "Few movies that get your patriotism to the peak and then leave you speechless at the end of it with sheer brilliance of direction, action direction, writing, acting, and attention to details. Hence proven, superstars don't make films- films make superstars.- Vicky brilliant as usual (Kudos to the leads and the supports) Eagerly waiting for this winning team to craft many more such high quality cinematic experiences. Go watch the film, now!",10 "Iron Man 2 is mildly entertaining, but the problems are glaring. First, the ""hero"" of the story is actually quite obnoxious - what he learned from Iron Man 1 didn't seem to transfer over. Second, too much talk, talk, talk without any content. The dialog didn't really move the story along. It was mostly made up of Tony Stark arguing back and forth with every character in the story. Third - the under use of a really good bad guy. Mickey Rorke makes a great bad guy, but they didn't use him near enough. Fourth - The over use of the obnoxious bad guy - Hammer just got on your nerves. Fifth - the under use of a great actor like Samuel L. Jackson - who was he suppose to be in the movie and why was he even there??? All in all it was a bit of a mess - it could have been so much better.",5 "It seems impossible to think that the first Godfather could be topped, but its direct sequel may be even better. It effectively takes all the elements from the first and makes them bigger and more complex, as well as revolutionising the idea of flashbacks. The plot is possibly the greatest of all time, the characters are more diversely fascinating and everything feels even more epic than before. The plot is split in two, one following the Corleone family in modern day and the other early life of Vito. The first follows Michael who is now Don as he attempts to expand the family business into Las Vegas. He faces much dissatisfaction in his own family, from Capo Frank Pentangeli and his own sister. He later survives an assassination attempt, and as he tries to learn who made the attempt he also faces a committee investigation that tears his family apart. This story is one of the best in film history, everything about it is incredibly set-up. The second charts the young life of Vito Corleone as he raises his family in New York and aims to build his own legacy. This sees him challenge the local Don and gain friends to help him achieve his goal. This part gives us a true insight into how all of what we're seeing started and is a fantastic mirror image to the modern events. The huge cast is once again truly outstanding. Al Pacino gives an incredible performance as we see Michael transform into a cold monster who has no feelings for his family. The way Pacino shows the struggle as he edges closer to the abyss is astonishing. The other star is John Cazale as Fredo, he is outstanding as the timid Fredo, the chemistry between himself and Pacino sets their scenes alight. Robert Duvall is solid as a rock once again as the reserved Tom, while Diane Keaton is great showing Kay as confused and frightened of her situation. Michael V. Gazzo is superb as Frank showing him as a genuinely troubled person. Richard Bright deserves praise as, despite few lines, he commands the screen as the loyal but brutal Al Neri. Joe Spinell is great as the doubtful Cicci as is Lee Strasberg as the devious Hyman Roth. Robert De Niro made his name here, he plays Vito with assured comfort and is just as good as Brando, which is praise itself. The film looks stunning. It is lit similar to the first and carries the same gloomily authentic feel being very atmospheric. The scenes of early New York and of Sicily are both excellent having a very natural look to them. The music from Nino Rota is once again marvellous. The script is full of classic lines, ""Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer"" and ""I don't want to kill everyone, just my enemies"" to name but two. It's great how the film focuses more on Michael and it's reflected by the look at Vito. Michael grows increasingly paranoid and unstable as he places the family business above all else. We see the differences in how the family is set. Vito's was built on loyalty and love, whereas Michael's family is built on fear and violence. It is a fascinating contrast which the film itself is built on, the whole scope is formed from this showing the pleasant start of the family and then it's tragic fall. There are so many classic scenes, Michael finding out the traitor, Kay's pregnancy reveal, all of the conversations with Fredo, the scenes at the hearing and the famous 'fishing trip' to name a few. The final shot of Michael sitting alone is one of the most memorable of all time. The Godfather Part II is a breath taking achievement in film and has possibly the greatest story ever put on screen.",9 "I have no idea how this show is currently scoring 8.6 and I'm pretty sure that in time, this will drastically come down. I'm a huge fan of fantasy / mystery / dark adventure / period piece type productions, so I was looking forward to this. Decent eye candy & fight scenes but nothing more. It is extremely poorly directed. Looks like an amateur shot it. The screen writing falls short as well. The viewer has to sit through drawn out segments of dialogue used to fill in the story line, without anything happening. The characters just stand or sit there and the camera pans back and forth between them. It looks lazy. You can convey a plot line in different ways other than plain dialogue. The acting is between acceptable and sub-par. It needs a LOT of improvement. It didn't hold my attention. I'm past the age where I would just fast forward to the fight scenes. LOL",1 "A vicious axe-wielding Chinese gang attempts to intimidate the working class residents of a housing complex, but are unprepared for the kung fu skills of not only the residents, but their sullen landlord and landlady in this offbeat action comedy. Not only is the fight choreography impressive, the battles become more insane (in the best possible way) as the movie progresses, with mind-blowing special effects as all concerned perform stunts as if they are Keanu Reeves in 'The Matrix'. It is an incredibly funny film too, with the best moments had by a deadpan Qiu Yuen as the no-nonsense landlady with a gift for speed. Not all of the humour works with some silly stereotype supporting characters, but there is a lot of fun to be had in the wannabe gangster character that director Stephen Chow has written for himself, comically stabbed multiple times by his own knives at one point (!). Throw in a fun reference to 'The Shining' and camera-work that never sits stills and this is a pretty appealing concoction. The character arc of Chow's character leaves a little to be desired, but this a film in which the images reign supreme over the story. There is a delightful weirdness to all the axe-wielding gang members running about in top hats and tuxedos/suits and Qiu Yen's kung fu powers turn her into the very epitome of a moody landlady who you don't want to mess with.",7 "Best director best movie, Nagraj popatrav manjule. Best singer Ajay Atul Best actor Abhitabh Bachchan And many more. Bahot dino ke bad yasi film bani hai jo jabardast hai.",10 "I should have known better because the first one was a complete waste of my life. Extremely boring. The reason why I watched the first one and this one for that matter, was because of the actors. They were better in this one than the first one but not enough for me to give it a high score. I actually fell asleep watching it. I probably fell asleep in the first one too, I just don't remember now but I definitely fell asleep during this waste of my life and I'm yawning like crazy now just talking about it LOL I guess it's all a matter of I want to say taste but it's not taste because I love sleuth. Always have and always will. It's how it's executed that makes all the difference. And this one and the other one IMO could have been so much better. Cheers to Daniel Craig who kept this movie together and was probably why I kept watching because he was outstanding. BTW... I watched Jeepers Creepers: Reborn earlier and IMO it was way better than this movie LOL.",5 "It takes serious guts to lock horns with a movie like BIGIL and release your movie on the same day. The guts can only come from tremendous confidence in the output and Lokesh Kanagaraj emerges successful once again with his Karthi-starrer , Kaithi. Similar to the screenplay style of Maanagaram, Kaithi also has multiple plots running in parallel, where all gets connected towards one common cause. The movie opens with a big drug bust operation led by Bejoy (Narain) where the lower level mafia group is detained. Irked by this operation, the mafia leader's brother fixes a huge ransom in return to decapitating the 5 police officers involved. Unaware of the insiders from the drug mafia, the entire police force is in a party where drinks are mixed with harmful sedatives. Bejoy now has the task of transporting the entire unconscious police force to a safe medical facility without alerting media, other officials or the mafia. His only option is Dilli (Karthi) who is brought into custody for an anonymous investigation, since he alone can drive the lorry to carry the officials. Whether Bejoy-Dilli were successful in carrying out the operation or did the mafia get hold of the drugs is the remaining plot. The movie holds the audience under its clutch right from the first frame. What is surprising to see is Karthi, an otherwise experienced actor in dialogue deliveries, has been given very little dialogues and yet he manages to steal the show by his mere body language and rustic attitude. Each time Dilli manages to escape the ploy of the mafia, it is literally a case of our blood pressure shooting up. Sam CS has terrified the audience with his BGM score. Another notable highlight is George Maryan along with the college students guarding the IG office forte from the mafia. While his comedy roles in movies such as Kalakalappu made him famous, this for sure will show him in a different light. Well, the ending definitely suggests there could be a sequel/prequel to this. We can't be more excited!",10 "This is indeed a great piece of superhero entertainment. If superheroes and action, plenty of action, is within your sphere of interest then this movie truly delivers. There is even a story to support the stunts and special effects fireworks that is not too shabby. As a matter of fact, for being a Marvel-based movie, the story is more than acceptable. As the blurb states, our hero is meeting a few adaptation issues after having been awaken into the modern world. Luckily the movie do not fall into the trap of making some silly comedy out of it but keeps these parts at a reasonable level where it stays funny without ruining the movie or disrupting the pace of the real story. The story? Simple and not very original with the usual slew of traitors strewn about, you cannot trust anyone, our hero becomes a fugitive etc etc bla bla bla. It is however a pretty straightforward one which works quite well and is not getting bogged down in silly emotions and general idiotic behavior by our hero like for instance several instalments of Spider Man have done. Actually this is one thing that I really like with this movie. The hero is a true hero from start to finish without any of that modern Hollywood crap where the hero must be tarnished in one way or another to satisfy the directors and producers. As I wrote above if you like superhero action movies then there is little not to like with this one. Acceptable story, plenty of action, good special effects, a cool chick (hey I am but an ordinary male, I like female actors in tight costumes) and a clear hero. None of the actors are really doing a bad job of it and in general the acting is as good as one can expect when portraying characters that, after all, are be totally ludicrous in real life. Its 8 out of 10 rating at IMDb (at the time of writing this) is well deserved. I am astonished that some people seem to have voted it down with a one star rating. It is a Marvel-based movie. You might feel it is more or less good but the style of the movie should not really be a major surprise to anyone and there is no way in hell that it deserves a one star rating unless someone really watched the wrong movie by accident.",9 "If you want to see the real story, read yes book, it's way better than the serie, why didn't they use the same from Mr. Mercedes for play Holly? Again, read the book then post about the serie!",2 Actings so cringe. complete utter trash. get him killed and the show will be much better.,8 "This movie is massively funny, and in my opinion, and instant classic. It's vulgar, iconic, memorable, and perfectly raunchy. If you haven't seen it, make it a priority and be ready for some incredible one liners.",9 "I can't remember watching a more pointless movie!! 2 hours and 40 mins of absolutely nothing!! And they really had to make it this long! I wouldn't have watched it fully if there was an intermission in the theatre. 2nd star is only for the last scene. Great drama, suspense, acting and direction in just the last 10-15 mins. Quintessential Tarantino! But was nowhere to be scene in the rest of the movie. And even then, it was so infuriating the way they treated the hippies in that scene and rest of the movie, like insects.Sure, one can argue that they are not doing anything meaningful with their lives. But neither are these mega rich elite celebrities! This whole movie is the perfect showcase of that argument! Especially Margot Robbie!! 3rd Top Billed cast in this movie behind di Caprio and Brad Pitt!! For what!!! She was in this entire movie just to watch another movie! WTF!!!!!!!!! I understand the 90s Tarantino nostalgia and peak Leo, Pitt, Al Pachino etc. But just a force bringing back of this nostalgia for no reason just leaves a stain on that legacy! If this becomes the first introduction of Gen Z to Tarantino, I'm afraid they're not gonna go back and dig up the 90s classics! On the contrary, they may even never do that after this!! An utter disservice to a great legacy!!",2 "It's been a while since i've seen ""Fargo"" but I really loved the art direction and the whole setting of the film, where it takes place and who are the weird characters you immediately suspect something's wrong with them, great performance by Steve Buscemi and Frances McDormand. I was surprised to know that the movie was based on true events because the writing seems really original. i did love the humorous moments like the continuous use of the word ""yah"" in the film. I'm sure the series will be good once i'll start watching but at the meantime I recomend to watch this film if you are a Coen brothers fan.",8 Too much conspiracy.. for a low budget movie . And beacose it takes 2 hours you must have a lot of patience,5 "The movie itself is not 1 Star, the effects and the cast were great. Can't say anything about that. However, it fails to deliver the 'Harry Potter feeling' to me. These movies just don't add up to the Harry Potter movies. All the 'beasts' look like they came walking down from Sesame Street. In the Harry Potter movies all the creatures were so mythical. The characters lack background stories and the general story line is all over the place. Maybe I'm comparing these movies too much to the Harry Potter movies. But if you make something in the same universe, I think the least you should do is that it fits with the previous movies. See it for yourself, I hope you do enjoy it more than I did!",1 It got me glued for the first half of the movie but I did not really understand what's making the people kill themselves. Nothing was explained how it got there and it's just really confusing..,3 "It seems to me that this is on the path of the original GOT series! If they continue with the quality of the first episode, this could be another marathon series. I'm in!!",8 Nagraj you have nailed it. Really appreciated. You have done great work with this guys. Nagraj you have nailed it. Really appreciated. You have done great work with this guys. Nagraj you have nailed it. Really appreciated. You have done great work with this guys.,10 "After watching Kung-Fu Hustle in its entirety, I am left with very little words. While not being a slapstick comedy from beginning to end, I'm not really entirely sure what to think of the movie. It's my first Steven Chow film, but even in that, I find it very difficult to talk about the intensely silly film. Taking us back to 1940's China, Hustle revolves around Sing. You never really hear his name, but you learn early on that he just wants to be accepted. He tried fighting for the good, but has decided that it's not paying off, so he wants to be bad, and join the infamous Axe Gang. They control most of China, except for the poor slums. After a chance encounter with an obnoxious landlady, Sing starts off a turf war that can only end with one group falling to the other, but neither wants to back down. Basically, that's the plot of Kung-Fu Hustle. Nothing imaginary by any means, but a lot of the zany fight sequences are just that. Zany. The quote on the front about it being a cross between Looney Tunes and Kill Bill really wasn't a lie. There are more than a few scenes of about 50-60 guys in black suits surrounding one person to come and kill them. And on more than a dozen occasions, the silliness of the film rules out and it becomes somewhat of it's own Looney Tunes reality joke. Chow is fairly good in his role, as is everyone else who steal his spotlight. But the thing I found the most interesting about the picture was the art direction. 1940s China looks absolutely gorgeous. From the set-pieces to the vivid colours, I was amazed at how excellently the backdrops were created for the film. From the costumes to the buildings, to even all the little random objects, it all screams nostalgia and screams of being excellent. The cinematography is not all too bad either. If there was anything to say against the film, it was the fact that none of the characters are really well explored. There are no signs of showing why Sing feels the way he does, except for one silly flashback scene. Even when a pivotal character shows up (so pivotal in fact, she has all the 10 minutes of screen time, and zero lines), his motivations are never really explained well enough, and he just seems to be fighting randomly. Same goes for everyone else. There was mention of a son by the landlady and lord, yet never explained for its significance later on. It's moments like these where I know I should just enjoy it for what it is, but the fact that key parts of the film's writing is missing, really does not help the film. 7/10.",7 "I love this series, the storyline is awesome, and it is funny too. great watch! highly recommend",10 "Avatar is one of the best shows ever created. Even though it may seem like a ""Kids"" show at first, this show dives into deep concepts/messages and has some of the best character developments I've ever seen. Even the ""filler"" episodes are some of the best of the series, *cough* tales of Ba Sing Se *cough*. With all this, it still has many comedic points and is well balanced. Overall an amazing show that everyone should watch!",10 "I first watched Tarantino's ""Pulp Fiction"" over two years ago. I must admit I was amazed. Being not so much of a film-knower back then, I was completely set in awe about the fact that stylistically, this film was so unique - as compared to, of course, what I had previously seen. My formerly poor cinematic experience and knowledge led me to like this film. The raw violence, the exceedingly black humor, the story's complex and confusing structure, and finally, Tarantino's own treatment of the visuals, the sense of control the direction suggested, which lingered in long takes and worked as a very experienced tour guide to the viewer's eyes, falsely contaminated me with the belief that Tarantino was an auteur, or, depending on how generous I then was, a pure metteur-en-scene. You see, my criterion for judging a film has always been its personal reflection. Not its originality per se, but the manner in which an artist's personal thoughts and emotions are uniquely portrayed on film, both in terms of style and content. A director's ""signature"" must be visible throughout his work's body. Thereby, by watching ""Pulp Fiction"" I perceived the much celebrated Tarantino as one of those unique artists, almost ranking among such great auteurs as Hitchcock, Ford and Kubrick. Mistaken as I was, of course, I saw my own sense of appreciation and respect for Tarantino destroyed at the time when I first discovered the works of Jean-Luc Godard. Tarantino may be successful and admired, he may have won awards and earned a lot of money, but the truth is that he has achieved all that by almost imitating Godard's work. It's a pity that people today know Tarantino and have not heard of Godard. If you haven't seen any of his films yet, please do, and you'll find out that ""Pulp Fiction"", ""Reservoir Dogs"" and ""Jackie Brown"" are nothing but mere imitations of Godard's style. The tenacity of the camera, the often one-sided angle of rendering a scene, the deliberate pacing, titles, freeze-frames and the frequent self-indulgence that characterize the films of the french master, are also the qualities of Tarantino's films. Some, however, believe that Tarantino has only exploited Godard, meaning that he has used some of Godard's better stylistic elements and blown them up into something better. This maybe true, but the fact remains that whenever I watch one of Tarantino's films, I find myself thinking about the influence of Godard...It's completely understandable how Godard, when he saw ""Pulp Fiction"", declared: ""...they might as well have given me the money!!""",5 Just like ppl here tells you.. Movie is only in theaters because of Tarantino.,2 "Starts off ok, then it's down hill all the way. Ending is atrocious! But worst of all 5 years goes missing in the middle, unexplained, what happened!",2 WandaVision is a creative and a unique work of Marvel. The show started from being a sitcom to the mind-boggling finale Marvel really did presented us one of their best work in term of uniqueness and creativity. Elizabeth Olsen really stole the show her performance was so good also one cannot ignore the great support from Paul Bettany. This show really did opened a new door and a new beginning of what next to come in Marvel. Overall a great feat for Marvel Studios.,9 "The visuals are stunning. The acting ranges from okay to pretty good. Parker Posey plays herself as usual. I personally like the spacesuit- and robot-design. The script and story is solid. Not original but solid. I never watched the original series but by now it is 53 years old. Whatever they changed for the remake, I'm okay with it. The world turns and it has to have changes. I don't see them being due to political correctness either, it's just changes. The story is generic. No very big flaws, but no creativity either. You know right from the start, that the family members and core actors won't die the whole series, which makes everything pretty uninteresting. Whatever suspense they try to build gets lowered a lot by the fact that there is no real danger. The behaviour of the people is often dumb and predictable and I didn't really get invested in the characters. I found most of them annoying rather than engaging. I started getting distracted while watching already in episode two and found myself do other things while watching the whole first season. The show is okay all in all. No huge flaws, but no real suspense either. Okay as family-entertainment, to weak for me personally. PS : Those rating a show higher or lower than they normally would to « fix » the, in their opinion, fake ratings, stop rating at all. It doesn't work that way. If all of you would stick to your actual rating, imdb might even get back on track and have properly rated shows again.",7 "I found the Netflix show very entertaining. Although its not exactly the same as the book it is still a very interesting show. Also the actors fit the role perfectly for each character in the show. But,if you have problems with depression,I recommend not watching the show. Or at least wait until your depression problems are gone. This show could also be a good thing for parents to watch so they learn more about suicide and what goes on in there kids life.",9 "I'm not very familiar with the original series but this version has plenty to keep you entertained. I love sci-fi and I wasn't disappointed with the ships, vehicles, tech, science, or especially the robot! The robot was an excellent character even without very many lines. You start to really bond with the family a couple episodes in. I felt like they all had very good chemistry. Lots of twists and turns and not sure what's going to happen next without being corny. Of course there's room to grow with more science and the writing but if you want to get into a Netflix sci-fi show that's fun I recommend this one!",7 "This movie was just poor. Dull, uninspired and boring. It never really takes off. The characters are unlikeable and unrelatable. How depressing and silly the scenes were, if Bill Murray did not want to keep doing what he was doing he should just retire. It portrays and paints a one dimensional and cynical view of life. Bill Murray films are odd and unusual and often not worth the hype. They are overrated and just plain bland, this is no exception.",5 This film was one of the most overdone films I have seen. I felt like the cgi was actually terrible as well.,4 "Just don't waste your time watching this awful movie Marvel have done some amazing films in recent years - I have no idea what happened with this one The only decent acting was from Samuel Jackson and even he only had a smallish amount of screen time Awful, wooden acting, frankly ridiculous storyline, the main actor/actress parts were so bad I nearly fell asleep",2 "I'm NOT an Al Pacino fan but this movie has the best performance of Al. I think no one in the history of world cinema has played a character better than Al Pacino in Godfather 2. He deserved an Oscar. Godfather 2 is better than the first part. It is a great sequel, it expands the themes and the world of the first part. Robert De Niro is stunning as usual. Missed Marlon Brando. Best part of this movie is it shows the rise of Vito Corleone and Michael Corleone contrasting their times and personalities. You need to watch Godfather 2",10 I cannot recommend this movie. It had potential but it really was off the top ridiculous and made absolutely no sense at all. You're probably better off watching the 1950s movie The fly. LOL. Seriously this movie was basically a get-together with some pretty famous faces that we've all seen in Hollywood and they all enjoy a big swanky location but it has absolutely no meaning. I guess you could compare this movie to a bored old man who has nothing better to do than to sit in his basement and pretend that he's a wonderful chef and he's going to destroy the world because he's all screwed up and he came from a screwed up background. I know that sounds ridiculous but that's how stupid the movie is.,2 "Could have been better even though parts of it were kind of fun, especially the actors. Just wish some of them had more to do. Contrived to say the least. Hard to follow and too many twists to make this really enjoyable. Just leave believability at the door!!! Hated Daniels horrid accent!!! Too many plot holes to be really enjoyable. Martas car doesn't start to the Chris character asks her to join him in his car after the family is chasing her. Next scene she's home with her car How did she get it. ? Just one of many holes in the script. Don;t the writers or directors read the script, not to speak of the actual actors.. Very strange.",3 "Not worth watching. Predictable story I'm wasting my time right now.",1 I think it helps that the source material was so good! I've given a higher rating than I would normally give to the show for the sheer audacity of the makers to push the boundaries of content from India. The casting was near perfect and I was also impressed that the pacing of the show was fairly rapid keeping me as a viewer engaged. Waiting with anticipation for the next season.,8 "Completely disgraceful and bad taste from the production house, even though Chris acted amazingly like always, the misrepresentation overshadowed that. They used the name of the city but movie sets, people and language were used of India!! That's shambolic.. no wonder everyone from bd will rank It 1/2. UTTER GARBAGE",1 "Jon Watts is destroying the Spiderman and his secondary characters. Some special effects are comparable to those of sharknado. I miss a lot Sam Raimi, and even Marc Webb.",3 Take a blindfold to watch this movie... You Have Been Warned,1 "I would have enjoyed it more if the actors in it where unknown to me, as I would with every show or movie. If you are a famous actor, and I don't recognize you till halfway, or never, you are an amazing actor! These actors where one trick ponys, really only good bc they had no ego and the terrible acting was seen as character quirks. After the first year of being paraded around, being annoying, the circumstance that made it good was ruined. In conclusion, I didn't bother with season 2 bc I came to hate the actors and there is also the aspect of association with the fans or possibly shills who are exhausting.",4 "I expected Glass Onion would follow the same very successful formula as the first one, but the structure is less obvious, the mystery is slight, and the humor is even better than in Knives Out. The thing is, if you expect this to be the same as the first one, then you'll be disappointed as this is a standalone sequel to the Knives Out, and it doesn't even recall nor acknowledge what happened during the first film, they opened the movie with Benoit Blanc struggling with the lockdown. Now, I understand why Rian Johnson said in an interview why he hated to include ""Knives Out Mystery"" in the title as it doesn't even fit with the whole movie. As the title suggests, the film aims to open layers to the mystery and peel it through as the movie progress. While the sequel may not be as clever as the Knives Out, sharp lines, brilliant twists, and lively performances suggest a promising future for Benoit Blanc Universe, and I live for it. The movie has some structural issue that is concerning to me. After carefully building the tension with a murderer on the loose, the decision to re-tell the whole narrative from a different viewpoint halfway through is my only biggest concern. While the movie is far perfect, it is the great ensemble performances from the cast and the daring twists revealed during the second act that really carried this film. I love how Rian Johnson established Janelle Monae's character, as her character gets consistently more intriguing as the movie progresses and gets really interesting at the midpoint. Glass Onion is soaked with glamorous moments and quick-witted dialogue, along with Janelle Monáe's captivating performance. There are many references to circumstances that occur later in the film and to fully appreciate the film. If you pay attention to the details, you can see that Johnson drops clue after clue that pay off in a satisfying style at the end, all of the brilliant little details. The complexity and pleasures of Glass Onion lie in its ability to maneuver smoothly between genres, combining murder mystery and social commentary.",8 "Now that the Oscars dust has settled, we can talk about Oppenheimer with a cool head. I like how Christopher Nolan, his fans and the ""professional"" film critics agree that the most important thing about Oppenheimer is whether or not he was a communist. After all, that is the central point of the movie, instead of exploring Oppenheimer's psychology and moral implications of creating the most destructive weapon in the history of mankind. ""But muh poisoned apple incident"" I hear the apologists say. There were more intriguing incidents in Oppenheimer's life than the apple, which are far more telling of his state of mind and what kind of a person he will become. When a 90 minute documentary called To End All War: Oppenheimer and the Atomic Bomb tells you more about Oppenheimer than a 3 hour biopic. Here are couple of quotes from it: ""When he finally went to camp one summer, he was so nasty to the other kids that they roughed him up. He said later they put him in the icehouse all night naked and painted him green, including his genitals. Oddly enough, Oppenheimer didn't protest. He just took his punishment stoically. It was a very odd reaction for a young boy at that age."" ""Imagine this sensitive boy, this very smart boy, but one who has no idea how to deal with other people. Certainly not with children his own age. He's had no experience."" It's a fascinating and disturbing episode from Oppenheimer's life, an episode which a more intelligent director would cleverly insert in their movie. What was the point of the Los Alamos countdown? Build ""suspense"" around something we all know was a success? And then Nolan doesn't even show us Oppenheimer's reaction to the explosion. Seriously, what was the point of this scene? Brilliant writing and direction. Twin Peaks Season 3 showed what an atomic bomb truly represents: pure evil, a symbolic loss of innocence, an infinitely more creative and creepier depiction of the same event. The ""weirdo"" David Lynch gets it, but not the ""genius"" Nolan. But, hey, at least Oppie wasn't a commie.",2 "Iron Man 3 is one of the worst comic book movies ever made , i don't know why they had Shane black direct the movie when the Jon Favreau did a great job with the first one and decent with the second one.The main problem with Iron Man 3 lies in its story line , how it deviated from the original comic book story line , they really messed this one up and made a complete mockery out of the Main antagonist, when are they going to realize that in a superhero movie the Anti hero is as and sometimes more important than the Hero itself , the story is awful , and the only reason i gave it 2 is because of Robert Downey Jr,the people who don't know about the comic book storyline they are going to like it but those who have actually read the comics they will hate it.",2 "Disgusting tattooed hipsters, a Halle Berry that doesn't belong and a boring predictable shootfest - in comparison with the other two movies that had more spirit and much more worth the time. Parabellum is nothing more than an overworked and pretentious art action movie.",4 "I am not going to spoil anything on this review, because it is best to go and watch this movie without knowing anything. Bear in mind that it's a long movie, but it never lets your interest flow away, not even for a second. Now, for the review: Plot: Not a single complaint. The story catches up from The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron, and tries to tie up what happened to the Winter Soldier, uncover some things about his past, which weren't shown too much in the previous Captain America movie, and show the devastation that the events in Age of Ultron left behind. Every character has his story and reason behind their final decision to side with either Iron Man or Captain America, and they never deviate from them. Everyone has a part, and the movie ties them all in a splendid, seamless way. Cinematography: You'd think you were in the fights and conversations yourself, right beside the characters. Many different places are used, and they all contribute to the general drama/action feeling of the movie. Every fight is just amazing, more so than the Avengers. Acting: Flawless. From everyone. Especially Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackey, Chadwick Boseman and the ever amazing Robert Downey Jr. I was really glad that the Russo brothers did not use RDJ in a way that would eclipse the other characters. Daniel Bruhl is a chilling Zemo, driven solely by vengeance, and even though he's not the true villain of the movie, he is definitely the catalyst behind the Civil War. Make no mistake; this is a Captain America movie. It revolves around Cap, his relationships and the aftermath of the decisions he takes when it comes to his closest friend. However, it is done in such a way that you are not fed up by him, or any character. This is a humorous, action packed, plot driven movie, that raises the Marvel bar even higher. 10/10 is not enough for this.",10 This show goes nowhere fast. It shows why game of thrones was so perfect. So different to get right. This show is embarrassingly bad. I guess all the talented experienced writers/shiw makers were busy working on other projects. There are a lot of shows being made these days.,1 "The series that surprised me the most in a positive way. Normally game adaptations are always a total flop. But ""The Witcher"" entertains me, the action is good without overdoing it, the storyline is okay, the actors are very good and the humor is appealing. After Boys and Dexter: New Blood, one of the best series of the last two years.",9 "When I think of Marvel, I think of entertainment. If I want a show with political garbage in it, I'll turn on a CBS drama. Marvel, stick to the comics amd stay true to the roots of what make comics good, which is lots of action cool & awesome villains.",1 "Best thing Marvel has ever produced. 7 seasons full of action, great heroes and actors.",10 Its more about innocent friendship then any thing else. Michael Cera & Jonah Hill at their best. Being the confused and wanna be teenagers. They are the SUPERBAD who would do any thing to get the girls of their dreams. And its their last chance so.... just enjoy d show..!!. Also Christopher Mintz-Plasse is outstanding as the third musketeer. It has all the teenage questions and anxieties with the funny twist. It has all the elements that a fun filled teenage comedy should have. The whole movie is awesome. My favorite of all time. One thing that I released after watching this movie is that Everyone has been a SUPERBAD in their own way.,9 "I could not even get past the first episode. It was disgustingly gory and violent, but the gore and violence was shallow and gratuitous because no time had been spent developing the characters first. At least in the original GOT (which I am a HUGE fan of), there was character development almost immediately which made you invested in the characters, and thus invested in their opposing ends. GOT was super violent and gory too, but at least there were notions like honor, pride in one's family, coming to terms with one's history, star-crossed lovers, etc. I saw none of that here and will not finish the series because of it.",3 "The time flew by while viewing the movie, so it didn't seem like 2 hours and 40 minutes. I enjoyed the movie, but it cannot touch Pulp Fiction, not in a long shot. I enjoyed the 1960s atmosphere and music, and it brought back fond memories. The movie had true-to-life characters who you could relate to. DiCaprio and Pitt were at their best. The movie was violent, but violent movies do not scare me. I am sorry that the movie did not thoroughly visit with Charlie and other members of the Manson family. Good movie, but not Tarantino's best.",6 "This show had a great potential, but the forced casting of poc in a medieval polish fantasy world sucks all authenticity out of it. In shows like Harry Potter diversity is welcomed, because it represents the modern world and it does not interfer with the reality of the depicted world. Etnich diversity has no place in the medieval world of the witcher.",1 "Not gonna go into details. Just very underwhelmed. No real charm, not a great story or script. Had high hopes! Feel robbed on a potential great film",5 One of the Best movie on Indian army. Every part of movie is good not a single part is bad.,10 All i could think about watching this was Whats the difference between this and previous Marvel films. Its basically same movies. No change in plot.,4 This is a great film and I like many others was excited for this film. Ever since Edward nortan was announced to be apart of the cast I was eager to see this. However the second I heard netflix now owns the rights I sighed and expected what we ended up getting. A film that's good but relies to much on its ability the original put across. But I really enjoyed this film it's cuter than the 1st and benoit is a sweet character in this and an amazing room mate is present of who I will not spoil. I know rian will see what made the 1st better than this and make the future better. Please remember skyfall was after qautum of solace and that doe hard 3 was after 2 what I'm saying is sequels go up and down like a roller coaster. And knives out as a series i know will be looked back on as a fantastic series that Daniel Craig can be remembered for and rian Johnson. I look forward to what he does next even if they are all like this one because i will enjoy them all.,8 "As a life-long fan of murder mysteries, whodunits, and detective mysteries, I have to say this is one of the worst examples of the genre I have ever watched. We should all be suspicious of where the high IMDB ratings came from, because this movie was utter drivel. If you were to take a random episode from any of the 13 seasons of Poirot, this nonsense wouldn't even come close to what that series achieved, and you could substitute Poirot with any one of several dozen low-budget dramas and you would come to the same conclusion. Even excusing this as a modern parody of the genre, you are left rolling your eyes in disbelief that this kind of rubbish is passing for entertainment. Really, don't waste your time with this.",1 "Some pretty solid acting performances all around, but where was the plot? It jumped all over the place and it felt more like a buildup movie than a movie in which we weren't meant to really care about what was happening. Yes, some of the visual effects were great but it doesn't make up for the lack of plot and backstory behind some of the characters. It just seemed like a let down after the first film.",6 Lots of marvel hardcore fans seem to dislike this. It's a change from the norm but that okay. Embrace a unique approach. These actors and actresses excel in their roles. Did you ever not believe any of this despite the fantasy nature. It shines on our favorite mischievous Loki that is so true to his nature but never explored. I'd say the reason this show was made was because Huddleston did such a fine job in the Marvel movies while portraying his pain as Loki that they made this to avenge his character. I know nothing of the comics so this could be an affront to those more knowledgeable but I thought it was good watching. The main actors shine and love the plot.,8 "Please america,i ve had Enough of this.",1 "Really overhyped and overrated. The movie is OK but far from ""best of the decade"" to be honest. When watching the movie I felt that I was always 2 or 3 seconds ahead of the plot, which (especially the first half) vibes like that of a cliche sitcom show, squeezed and polished (really hard) into an ""artsy"" crowd-pleasing movie. This whole unprecedented praise around the movie, which I guess I will never understand, somehow reminds me of the fanatics about Kpop, which, (un)surprisingly, shares the initial ""K"".",5 "I was almost fell asleep during this 2.5 hour drudgery... wow... can't believe people liked it so much... no intrigue, no ending... had to wake someone up in my group to see the end... and then there wasn't one, nobody did it... well maybe Drew Carey's TV sitcom brother. Expected much, much, much more from the director of Se7en... what a thriller that was... this wasn't even close and people are rating it highly... don't get why someone would like this enough to put it up with Se7en.. Anyway hopefully if you are reading this you will consider something else before being bored to tears watching this one...",2 "House of the rarely anything happening, save the infighting of feuding family members who always forget your birthday.

His curious season long ailment results in him looking like Iron Maiden's Eddie, whilst his wife Queenie 2 ends up having children- Dick Dastardly and egg-on-cress who can scarcely be much younger than their mother. There is a touch of the Timelord about several characters as they regenerate into slightly different life forms, many of whom seem to have inherited a case of party wig. Everyone pretends that they serve the King when really they serve his hand whilst the other doesn't know what it's doing. Heaven forbid that the throne passes to a female, oh...",2 "Everything in this movie was great except that this movie was pg-13, which went more into comedy than horror genre, and that just didn't connect ""Let There Be Carnage"" that should have contained more violence. Missed a great opportunity. Giving +2 stars for the post credit scene.",8 "I am giving this movie a 5 because a lot of people gave it the undeserving score of 10. The Dark Knight Rises is the ending movie for Christopher Nolan's the Dark Knight trilogy. The first two were awesome, and coming into this movie I thought this was going to be the greatest movie ever made. I was totally wrong. It wasn't terrible but at the most it was only OK. It was not a blockbuster film but it was an OK one. My problems with the movie is the fact that Dc/WB knew that they were going for Dc's first Justice League cinematic movie universe. And they knew before TDKR came into production so I don't get why they didn't make it to where Batman can be used for JL. I didn't like Catwoman. Anne Hathaway did her best but Catwoman didn't belong in this movie at all. Nolan should have transformed Selina Kyle/Catwoman into Tim Drake/Robin. Nolan didn't want ""the Boy Wonder"" in his dark and gritty world.But their was a demand for him which tics me off that Nolan wouldn't take the time to put him in. Nolans way to please the people, was to do the thing he did at the end (trying not to give spoilers). Also the time frame of the movie is like 8 years after the Dark Knight but the movie itself is spands over 8 or more months and the time frame of TDKR itself got very sloppy. Throughout the movie their are crazy and ridiculous plot holes and their this one twist where your just going like really. Its OK, and people who are saying its fantastic are hardcore fans. This movie is overrated. But again it is OK.",5 "The difference between the original US version and Indian version! The Indian version show their egos against budding entrepreneurs! Typical egoistic rich ceo's. This is the worst scripted show, showing typical ""I am the king, because I sit on the chair"" Atleast some of them. No proper guidance given like the US show. Pathetic attitude of the judges. People praising the show seriously have no brains! The US show leaves the aspirant to push themselves a step more to succeed.

Really this is a very poor idea for creating multiverse.",3 Possibly the most tedious movie I've ever seen. Nothing happens!,1 "Regal cinema does mystery movie showings and this is what I ended up seeing. Definitely caught me off guard, I personally watch a ridiculous amount of horror movies and find myself not getting too scared anymore but this movie made me blatantly uncomfortable in a lot of different scenes, I mean this movie was better than the new Insidious movie :'). The theater was packed to the brim and this was the type of movie that had the entire crowd letting out gasps and sounds of discomfort. Very graphic movie, it makes you uncomfortable in a perfect horror movie way. I'd give it 10/10 but some of the characters were typical dumb horror movie characters that made poor decisions. I think this movie is definitely best watched knowing nothing about it and just jumping in, try to avoid spoilers!",9 "I wrote my university thesis on Sherlock Holmes. This is a crock of rubbish. Hollywood-ized, exaggerated, unbearable trash. It seems to expect us to believe that Holmes is a Matrix-era Neo with super-hero-styled martial arts abilities. Downey could hardly overact more without this film being deemed sheer comedy. Indeed, that would be what this is, were it not so woefully bad. 'Suspension of Disbelief', anyone""? Aye...not even worth a free download. One wonders why anyone would pass this script or agree to act in it. It must just be a cynical hope that some money can be made. The first film had, at least, a slight nod to the brilliant restrained excellence of a TV actor such as Jeremy Brett, in his utterly British, ironic and subtle acting of the detective icon. Downey and whoever acts Holmes (he's too 2D for me to care who he is)simply dissolve into a pap of loud SFX and rushed stereotypical trash. All that is sloppy with modern Hollywood distilled. I give two stars for the waterfall finale with Holmes and Moiraty: that was poignant....sadly undone by a facile ending.",2 "i have watched the whole series multiple times. It has got everything suspense, humour, action, most importantly Story gluing everything together. Characters are very interesting. Love Sokka. It shows different emotions and how they build people.

It makes no sense at all, the cast the plot line what's the purpose of this to see how badly you're going to bomb? Don't get me wrong I enjoyed all of the Marvel movies not all the Marvel TV shows but this one by far is the worst you got laugh tracks in there that don't even want to make me laugh. The only reason why this would make it past the first season is because Disney is producing it otherwise any other company probably would have scrapped it by now. Way to go and screw up Marvel Disney thumbs up!",1 "Russian Doll is perhaps one of the most fresh TV shows ever to come from Netflix. The first episode itself hooks you with it's ingenious premise. The snappy-paced plot ensures you remain hooked up. Not one moment is there when you feel bored. In spite of the narrative being going on a loop, it surprisingly reinvents ways to fascinate you each and every time. It transcends magically from being a comedy one moment to be a total tear-jerker the other moment. And these tonal shifts blends with the story telling very rhythmically. All the performances are bang on. Both Natasha Lyonne and Charlie Barnett complements each other very well. Great writing as well by the writing department. Highly recommended for watching.",8 I read in the newspapers about these tv series that had great success in UK. Then I watched it on Netflix. Each detail is well developed in lot of intriguing plots. The content is much more than a simply cat and mouse chase. You are guessing until the very end who the real moles are and you will experience an unexpected ending. The pictures are well executed and all the actors played their roles excellent. Don't miss it. 8/10,8 """Knives Out"" is a movie that I have genuinely enjoyed. This is a major Giallo feature film, with a well written script that kept me entertained for a couple of hours. The movie has the perfect length, and by the end you have the solution of the case. The director exploited the well working narrative formula, used for decades, and mixed it with some modern storytelling and editing techniques: he added his personal touch. This is why it works so well in my opinion. There are certain plot twists that really surprised me, by changing the entire perspective of the story. It never takes itself too seriously and there are many funny jokes that actually made me laugh. I do not even remember when I felt like this while watching a big production released in recent years. Daniel Craig completely stole the scene, confirming once again his talent. I really like his interpretation of the detective Benoit Blanc with the almost comical British accent. His name is a clear reference to Poirot. I am actually very surprised by how many big actors were involved in this production: Ana De Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon and Chris Evans are just a few examples. Performances were absolutely astonishing, but with a cast like this one, I was not expecting otherwise. I wish that Hollywood would consider making more films like this one. Just good and simple stories where cinema lovers like me can lay back and enjoy the ride. In the end when I watch a movie this is all I want, without having a forced political agenda in it. ""Knives Out"" accomplished this perfectly.",7 "Was pretty average. Had high hopes and didn't get why this movie gets an 8+ on IMDb. Was mildly entertaining and had some interesting parts, some funny parts but mostly average",6 "Have just caught up with ""Lost in Translation"" on television....and wish we hadn't. I cannot remember the last time I came across such an over-hyped piece of pretentious nonsense as this film. The story-line - such as it was - was trite in the extreme, and Bill Murray was obviously so fed up with the whole farrago that he simply gave up and sleep-walked through his role. How on earth anyone can praise this film with equally pretentious points of analysis, and the film receive so many so-called ""honours"", is completely beyond me. A complete waste of time for the viewer and all concerned in its production.",1 "It is just a bunch of so called ""misfit"" kids that go on adventures that half the time are not interesting and leave many holes in plot. It wasn't the worst thing I have ever seen but it was not as good as everyone has said. Not worth the hype. Pretty much just the kids from it(Stephen king) in a different story same vibe. Overall I didn't enjoy but I can see why many really do.",3 "So I was late to watching this and almost didn't. Time is a hot commodity and I wasn't keen to spend it on a 6 episode miniseries with only a 7.2 overall - there is so much good TV/movies these days so why spend it on something mediocre? Well, I must say that I found this miniseries to be much more than mediocre and regret not watching it sooner. There is definitely a heavy political undertone throughout the plot, so I personally believe that MANY people rated this low due to that, which unfortunately skews the overall rating. Such a shame, because it was quite enjoyable and not an accurate reflection of the overall series. Was it my favorite MCU story? No, but Marvel routinely hits things out of the park so it's a high bar. I'd still give this between a 7-8, but officially scored it an 8 to counterbalance some of the irrational ""1"" scores because of ""political wokeness"". If you are the type of person who can't stand to see political or social viewpoints who may differ from your own, then don't watch this. However, if you generally enjoy the Marvel recipe for success (action, emotion, and humor) and can enjoy plots regardless of the racial or political beliefs, then I'd highly recommend it. It was a fun watch.",8 Unfortunately very bad i did not like it so boring and contain 5 or 6 songs i can not figure it with 2 or 3 minute for each i do not know i do not want to be tyrant but i have very bad point in it with total respect for brad and leo and the great director tarnteno plus i hated the part who talk about bruse li they made him like ant when he faced brad and very much useless charactors i did not know thier position in this pic and to be fair the last 20 minute was good but not logical at all.,5 I still cannot finish this movie! Incredibly slow and drawn out! Another overrated movie out of Hollywood. So disappointed.,2 "Personally a horror director shouldn't direct an Marvel movie. Wanda as the villain, story goes from left to right. Love marvel, hate this one. Feels like ideas were made up while shooting.",4 "Its one of my comfort movies, rdj is such an incredible actor and natasha's fight scene was so hot shes so gorgeous and well skilled.",10 "Old Tarantino is back, only WORSE! Great! One or two DiCaprio scenes (to be fair, two long scenes). One Brad Pitt scene (also to be fair, way too long), and a bunch of nothingness and pop culture references. He has his style, that developed in the great trio of Django Unchained, Hateful Eight and the amazing Basterds.... and for some reason he dialed all the development back to create this atrocity. If I don't talk about the story or plot, there is barely one. Go ahead masses. Talk yourselves into liking this troll job of a movie",2 "TVF Pitchers is an audacious attempt by TVF to make a sensible TV show in India. The theme of the story is one which majority of the IT and young people will relate to. The main difference about this show is its improved direction, better storyline, original music(No constant irritating background music) and decent dialogs. Also the actors fit the role and their acting is satisfactory. The storyline is interesting, comical and also realistic which is a rare find in the Indian television industry. The show however sometimes losses its focus and tries to overdo a little. Despite its little imperfections the series has begun well and is something I would definitely continue watching. Kudos to the makers for a daring attempt.",9 "While this movie had some interesting arcs surrounding how Batman ""begins"", the script is prosaic. It might be fine for kids, but it's not intelligent enough to keep adults highly interested. Special effects weren't very good either. Bale isn't bad in the role but his over-the-top gruff voice whenever he's in costume is a bit much. Holmes was fine if not boring as the voice of ""morality"", Oldman as Gordon is surprisingly flat and while Murphy is a fine actor, he didn't have much to work with - Scarecrow as a villain was a flop, as was Neeson's Ducard. The two best and most enjoyable characters were Alfred and Fox, and only because of the fine actors, Caine and Freeman. Difficult to go wrong with those two. It's not a bad movie, but certainly not a great one. If you've nothing better to do, give it a watch. Otherwise, there are much better films to see.",6 Normally i don't care for Bollywood war movies but this is easily the best war movie after border i think. awesome music great story and acting a well made movie. must see for all.,10 "Vasan Bala's new fun comedy thriller delivers largely due to it's superb background score that elevates the mood of the scenes. The film starts with a murder and the case is closed as accidental death. Jumping 6 months in the timeline, we get introduced to Jayant (Rajkummar Rao) who has ambitiously climbed up his company's hierarchy within a short period. His is a rags to riches story and he also is in relationship with the company's director's daughter while having an affair with company's secretary Monica (Huma Qureshi). As she resorts to blackmailing not just Jayant but also company's CFO (Bucks) and son of the company's director (Sikandar Kher) for money, all three hatch a plan together to get rid of her. What happens when instead of Monica, the trio are being eliminated one by one and how Jayant gets out of this mess with the police (Radhika Apte) closing in on the case, forms rest of the story. Dark comedy thrillers are not usually to pull off. Vasan Bala earns the brownie points for picking the right story followed by a talented starcast. The second half has it's blemishes but still has enough fun bits if not equal to the entertaining first half. Performance wise, it took a while for me to realise Radhika Apte actually owned her character. Huma Qureshi particularly shine in two scenes and fits as Monica perfectly. Rajkummar Rao pulls of his role easily and I wished for Bucks to have had a little more to offer given how vulnerable his character was. The third act got predictable with that reveal but the end twist was simply fun.",6 "Uri The Surgical Strike is a big chance wasted. Because with this script and this technological support, it could have been more. Director Aditya Dhar did over drama in some areas which was not at all fit for the mood of the movie. But still, Uri The Surgical Strike is a must watch for all for experiencing the marvellous surgical strike by Indian Army and the action choreography was good throughout the movie. Vicky Kaushal did an excellent job and all the other supporting cast was okay. It could have been a thorough class movie with another director. The final chapter still keeps us at the edge of the seat and except the over drama, all chapters were also good.",6 "This show has so many flaws that it's hard to know where to begin.. The problem with each of the characters is that there is no development, whether it be in regards to their personal character or their powers (or at least for the most part). For a show about superpowers, it is shown only some of the time. There is no intermediary between their powers: they use it very little and sparingly throughout many episodes and then just bombard the audience with all of their powers at once. For a show about ""superheroes"", the characters barely feel like there's anything special about them. I caught myself so many times yelling at my tv for them to use their powers smartly. Oh, and another thing, this show tries to build up its characters and their powers but then immediately downgrades their capabilities just to present a villain as being stronger. Mind you, none of these villains are even interesting, which makes this show all the more intolerable. Villains should be complex characters that you love to hate, not characters that you can't wait to see die. Characters continuously make reckless and ill-judged actions that just leave the viewer baffled. This show definitely has bad dialogue and script. It's funny when the best actor and character in the entire series is a teenage boy. Don't even get me started on Ellen Page. This show tries so hard to be so many things at one: it's own version of the loved marvel and dc comics, a comedy, a drama, and an acid trip (it has several dragged out scenes where characters dance around for minutes on no end acting high and drunk). If it weren't for the fact that we are living in social distancing times and my lack of self control in needing to know what happens, I would not have wasted my time watching this series. Just terrible.",3 "I watched this movie in a theatre without any expectation. To my surprise, this was really a unexpected thrilling experience with outstanding background score. Karthi is apt for this role. Thoroughly enjoyed it! 10/10 without a doubt.",10 "I don't know where to start. Everything about this movie is terrible. Acting is..well...Keanu Reeves. Plot is a string of clichés, action is forced and repetitive, dialog is straight out of Saturday night life spoof, screenplay must have been 2 pages long and went something like this - take some Kill Bill, mix in Payback, and sprinkle in Eastern Promises and you have a movie. Except as the old lady in the Nationwide commercial laments - This is NOT how it works !! This is not how any of this works !! The fact that so many people voted this movie above 7 is a testimony to how low the tastes have fallen. This is the chicken mcnuggets of movie making. Terrible. And oh the ""russian"" talk and translations for someone who speaks Russian (like me) is just pure rubbish. everyone associated with this project should be ashamed of themselves.",3 "The movie has so much potential in the first 10 minutes but then it falls apart. While Nolan is trying to decide if the movie wants to be Saving Private Ryan or another Memento, he forgets to build any characters or narrative that anyone can care about. What a shame given the cast he had at his hand. He was just unable to direct them or bring together anything redeeming or with any level of depth. Aside from the first 10 minutes, there are some beautiful cinematography. However, the scenes are shot on different days. One sunny and the other overcast. So the beautiful visuals are unable to sustain any type of mood across the length of the movie. At the end, it's clear the story was too ambitious for Nolan and he was just unable to put it together.",5 "I was looking forward to seeing what was apparently a cinematic masterpiece with twists and turns to keep me binge-watching ""The Umbrella Academy"" in a 10 hour marathon. I didn't realize that the writers of this show were spending about the same amount of time trying hopelessly to stitch this rather jagged and disjointed storyline together. This series demonstrates that if you spend 90% of your budget on cinematic and CGI fairy land set design, you may have make it a silent movie. Don't get me wrong, looking past the endless foley house mistakes and errors in actor's continuity, the only one redeemable quality is that it is set to a good soundtrack. This is like watching ""Suicide Squad"" shoot heroin and shoot up a donut joint. Or Justice League trippin on some bad shrooms, locked in a haunted Chuckie Cheese on Groundhog Day. But If we have learned anything by now, it is this: you cannot get a cast of very pretty people together and expect the script to simply roll off of their beautiful tounges. The writing should have been done in Mandarin, then DUBBED into English VO. Maybe I'm being a little harsh, but I cannot bear another agonizing moment of these horribly executed scenes. Is there a DIRECTOR in the house??? This is a waste of time and talent. Rewatch Scott Pilgrim Saves the World or Sleepless in Seattle again. If I could get iCarly as director, I may think about a ""Director's Cut"". Boooooooooo We can do BETTER.",1 Disappointing movie. Avoid watching this one. Confusing movie.,1 "If you like competent writing with strong plot lines and likeable characters then you have come to the wrong place. If however you like politically correct writing with a fully diverse and ethnically balanced cast then you are in for a treat. I really don't understand how companies can see series and movies fail and yet don't comprehend that we are sick of the brainless banal writing that they have dished out over the last 10 years and that we want more. There are many gifted writers out there that can give us a great plot, character development and a story told at a pace that keeps us entertained.",1 "I'll leave out the specifics for two reasons: Spoilers, and there's just so much wrong with it I don't even know where to begin. Well, spoilers might actually be a good thing in this case as you might save yourself the time of watching this train wreck. The lead actress and some of the support actors are terrible. The pace is agonizingly slow - this could have been a two hour movie. The plotholes are ginourmous. The logic fails hard, especially in the finale. Just a whole lot of nonsense. I'm not sure if the writers themselves were this stupid, or if they were smart enough to understand what they wrote was complete drivel but arrogant enough to assume the audience wouldn't be able to tell and too incompetent to come up with something sensible instead. I'm also not sure which is worse.",3 "I've sat through a couple episodes with the mister & saddly, all I see is a cheap knockoff of Predestination.",1 "I know there are not many ""well made"", WW1 films and this one doesn't make the grade . Nothing new to see here and recommend watching Masterpieces such as Gallipoli and All Quiet on the western front.",3 "I had no idea that this movie would be that GOOD. It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! It links back to Age of Ultron from the Sokovian battle and it becomes a major issue between the Avengers, especially Iron Man and Captain America. The story hits the right emotional beats with the themes while this movie also gives some of the best fight and chase sequences in Marvel history. Winter Soldier and Civil War are both the pinnacle of stand-alone superhero movies for me.",10 "I didn't expect to see a hyper-violent wannabe-Neuromancer kung fu fest that mixes the worst of scifi and fantasy with ideas cribbed from William Gibson and Philip Dick... but that's what it is. It's like a rehash _The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch_ as written by a cloned Gibson gone mad with Hong Kong fight movies and superficial Hollywood scifi films. This is a film for people who like to see their heroes walk in the front door and mow down all the evil guys with a huge machine gun to a blaring techno soundtrack. _The Matrix_ is all show, eye candy, no brain. Neat effects, no content. It has the intellectual sophistication of a video game, senselessly throwing out ""deep"" stuff like ""What is real?"" like the filmmakers even cared. Such questions only serve as an excuse to show all sorts of neat special effects and stunts. _The Matrix_ will appeal to a lot of little (mentally as well as physically) boys, and the huge number of tactically placed gratuitous Keanu shots will likely please the girls as well. This is a film that is presumptuous enough to begin by asking ""What is real?"" and end with a martial-arts fight between Good (as represented by Keanu as the originally named ""The One"") and Evil (as represented by three guys dressed in black). Spaceship-sized plot holes abound. Good acting doesn't save a horribly clichéd script ridden by stereotypes and comic reliefs that we've all seen before. _The Matrix_ reminded of three films: _Event Horizon_, an exercise in morbidity and stupidity (over which _The Matrix_ towers, not that it says much), _Dark City_ (which has similar problems but manages to be stimulate the intellect at least part of the time, the rest of which it makes up for with sheer style; at least it offered a very intriguing premise, one that in turn reminded me a lot of Brian Aldiss' sublime novel _Non-Stop_), and David Cronenberg's _Videodrome_ (one of the most daring and challenging, and at the same time visually overpowering, depictions of alternative realities put on screen so far). I look forward to, at some point in the future, we'll get an authentic science fiction film that doesn't believe in stupid audiences, hackneyed cliches, or box-office success, and dares to ask important questions and then deal with them. But that's wishful thinking, I guess. Outright science fiction, as it were.",4 "This could have been an amazing action movie if it was made in the 80s with better camera work, it has a simple plot, but it looked liked it had some amazing action, unfortunately most of the action is lost in the shaky camera work. it looked like they choreographed a lot of faction, a lot of stunts, that get muddled and wasted on super shaky camera work. (there were times i had to look away from how bag it got....",2 "HILARIOUS with a great story. very unique type of comedy with lots of memorable scenes. the awkward comedy was some of the best i've seen, rivaling the office. and the 3 main students were all PERFECT in their roles. I also loved Seth Rogen and Bill Hader as the cops (about 6 viewings)",9 "Very clever premise, great chemistry, perfect whodunit, but come on - why so much profanity!? Totally unneeded and distracting. Time it down next season, please!!!",9 "I have just seen the most ridiculous ""movie"" ever made, and I use the term movie quite loosely. Is there no expectation any more that movies should have SOME plot, story, sequentiality, or plausibility, or are they just total indulgences on the part of the director? Rather than watching a compelling, evolving storyline that INVOLVES you and draws you in, instead we witness the work of 18 year-old computer whiz kids in front of their consoles, churning out meaningless, special effects displays. One feels like a bystander on the sidelines, and the experience of watching something like this is both boring and irritating. ""Inception"" is the most confused, convoluted, ridiculous assemblage of scenes ever put on the screen. At one point there were simultaneously 1. shots of people underwater in a van that had just gone off a bridge, 2. men shooting each other with machine-guns while skiing, 3. men fighting each other in a hotel hallway while floating in the air defying gravity, and 4. a scene with Leonardo DiCaprio at his house talking to his wife. The camera kept alternating quickly between each scene, but each one had nothing to do with the other. It was like watching a movie preview, with random, unconnected scenes thrown out in rapid succession, meant only to entice you to see the movie. Not only did scenes bear no connection to one another, they also had no relation to the scenes preceding them, and thus there was absolutely no follow-able story line at all. There was nothing but c.g.i. effects meant, I suppose, to ""entertain"" us. Do movie makers not realize that special effects, in and of themselves, do not hold one's interest if there is no connection between them and some conceivable storyline? You might as well be watching a cartoon. As with a cartoon, unless you're five years old or brain-impaired, you would become bored within five minutes, because there's no ongoing, developing story demanding your attention.",1 "Rate: 8/10 With all six episodes premiered, I can officially say that this season was epic and better than the previous. Throughout the series we see a lot of emotion and strong relationships between every character. There has been a lot of development in every character; comparing this season to the previous, the character development is very significant. The newcomers to the season has been introduced very well and carried out the most fantastic way possible throughout each episode. As audiences the writing is effective enough to make us really care about them! This season has managed to illustrate more information about the multiverse and what we can possibly see for future MCU projects. This series was very creative and smart with their ideas. The twists are shocking and surprising; that's what makes audience continue to be invested throughout the series. This season has its own highlights, especially going into a much darker tone at times. Overall this season ended with an amazing conclusion, and showed that those episodes that premiered this season and the previous season really do matter and has relevance.",8 "...but the USA can make you rich, healthy and famous with the minimum trouble to make this a pure Hollywood movie. Should I say that this movie, though cast is okay and directing conventional, is much overrated. This movie seems made for a religious and puritan American audience, and it received here in France a particularily mixed opinion. Script has to my mind many flaws, music is irritating, and again I completely disapprove the meaning... so watch it (once only) if you have time and make yourself an opinion but don't think you are going to watch a wonder just because of its 6 academy awards! 6/10",6 "Boring to the max. Wife watched it first and said that I might enjoy it. This movie just seemed to go around with no clear focus. It was a good thing that I had nothing planned for today as this was a total waste of time. Was there really a point to this movie? I kept watching in hopes that something good would come out of it. All the characters just seemed to wander around the island. Can't imagine that this got a rating of 7.2/10. Daniel Craig needs to find scripts that have more action than this one. I would be very surprised if he was paid $1 million for this garbage, Shaken, not stirred is more his style.",1 "What a beautiful movie! I love to see the power of cinematography. It makes this movie feels so real. What I really admire from SRK is his character development. From loving a person until loving people. From Higher place to a beautiful small county. When somebody watch this, you gonna feel that you have to love your country no matter what. The happiness and sadness gather into one movie that is called as SWADES",8 "I've known for a while that A24 only releases horror films for pretentious people that don't actually like horror, but want to watch horror. I know this, yet I keep watching the garbage they release in the hopes that just once (okay twice, as Tusk is a masterpiece of horror comedy) they'll release a good horror movie. Yet here we are once again, with a ""horror film"" that's well shot, but just an abysmal excuse for a horror film. I wish nothing but the worst for A24. Actually, that's not true. I wish them nothing but they best, even though they consistently put out the absolute worst drivel in ""horror"" I wish I could give this garbage a 0. But since I can't: 1/10 avoid at all costs.",1 Amazing emotional movie!! Please follow the message adopt don't shop and please give a chance to Indies too. It shows the ugly side of breeding industry and breeders and what they can do to just earn money and would not mind abusing the poor souls.,10 "This movie there is no similarity with Dhaka, Bangladesh. They didn't take any shot either.",1 A boring story with boring music. It was painfully long. The praise heaped on it leaves me in disbelief except that Hollywood loves Hollywood. Emma Stone is the latest in line of anorexic looking actresses. I felt scammed by the reviews into watching it longer than I felt any interest in doing so. The characters didn't engage and the music didn't please.,1 "I went to the movie without any expectations, it didn't really matter what they showed me, but I was pleasantly surprised!! The graphics are beautiful, the music in the film did not hesitate to be even heavy, which is very rare now, especially in such films. Scenes with monologues add a zest to the film, it was really very interesting to watch! The actors worked and they liked it, apparently the budget for them was not puny. In general, the film is moderately funny, moderately stupid, moderately interesting and brutal. Everything in this movie is in moderation. I definitely liked it so I give a high rating.",10 "So much has been said about this film. It made huge amounts of money and had an incredible start at the box office. I wanted to see it, but the stars didn't align. Since I had read no reviews and had not talked to anyone who had seen it, I went in quite objectively. Our kids had a Barbie or two around the house, but they didn't rule their world. That said, I think I'm a pretty open minded movie viewer. This film is far from the phenomenon the press made it out to be. I enjoyed the incredible sets and recreations of the pink world. Also, the introduction to that world and all the Barbies and Kens was quite amazing. As others have said, however, is that it becomes wordy and preachy in the final third. I started looking at the clock which is not a good sign. The cast is good, although Ryan Gosling isn't dull enough to be Ken. He is never boring, even at the beginning. I'm glad I saw this because it is a cultural phenomenon (even though it doesn't deserve it). The message is a good one and spot on. It's just delivered in a less than stellar way.",7 I don't say this often but I thought this was actually better than the novel. Maybe a couple of episodes too long but that's television for you. Great show. Ben Mendehlson is great and I like what they did with Holly's character.,8 I'm not sure what the bad ratings are about. The movie was better than plenty I've seen. You have to keep up with past & present scenes. I liked it.,6 "For better or worse, 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)' is mostly remembered for the fact that Jason Segal hangs dong in the first ten minutes. That's a bit of a shame; the picture itself is a competent and cohesive romantic comedy that's actually surprisingly nuanced. At the same time, though, Jason's penis gets people talking about the film, so I guess it does its job. The flick is one of those films that's just easy to watch. Even when it isn't funny, it's always fairly fun. It has a handful of likeable characters, some suitably absurd sequences and a somewhat mature emotional underpinning. It does have a couple of big laughs and it also has some surprisingly affecting moments, but it isn't the sort of thing that's going to have you in either kind of tears. For the most part, it's an affable and charming experience that's enhanced by its plethora of prominent cameos. It's good for what it is. 7/10.",7 "Overall, I think they did good work on showing The Continent word in the series and how cruel the world can be. And the scenes and the quality of the show looks great Simply: Season 1 was pretty good Season 2 was not bad Season 3 was bad Like while, I was watching season 3 in some episodes I got bored to the point that I had to skip some of it like the episodes which nothing imported was happening like the trips. If there wasn't filler episodes in the series and there was no empty story progress points in these episodes, it would be more enjoyable. For me, the slow-paced storytelling works for the books and not the series.",7 "OK … so much has been written both good & not so good about this film here and at other movie review sites. Considering myself a seasoned sci-fi fan, maybe it's just my advancing years but, Ridley Scott and company, what were you thinking? When is somebody going to give Mars a truly grandiose sci-fi treatment? How would Kubrick have handled this subject? So much of the suspense and pacing of the book is totally missing from this movie. Even at over two hours the events of the film just doesn't connote the passage of months. Further, it all seems just a little too glib. Our hero doesn't ever seem to be in any peril at all as long as he can ""science the sheet out of this"" he'll get by just fine. Red Green fans will love the somewhat comic use of NASA's super duct tape too. Even if you haven't read the book, in this typically ""Hollywood"" film, we know right from the first frame that our wisecracking group of explorers will never be in any real jeopardy. Even the premise of the entire movie is totally false. Wind speeds on Mars can be high but the atmosphere is so tenuous that it exerts a negligible force. The sand storm depiction is just plain wrong. Yes I know - suspension of belief - even Andrew Weir makes this concession in You Tube presentation. It's yet another totally forgettable sci-fi film about Mars. Chris in Winnipeg Canada, Oct 2015.",3 "Proof that a soundtrack can truly carry a film. The final ten minutes felt so satisfying alongside Shenzou by Steven Price. I felt like my time investment was worthwhile by the end of it (felt a tad longer then it needed to be however I think the pace used merits it), putting aside the absurdity of the ending, which was a bit too abrupt and seemed rather outlandish even for a sci-fi. Regardless, Sandra Bullok and George Clooney provide decent enough performances and the story was unique enough to make it an all-around solid movie. Definitely worth the watch for those looking for something new.",7 First of all I have never hated a spiderman character more then Miles mourlas it takes him 1hour and 30 minjust to learn how to use his powers and we only we see him at full capacity for less then 15 min also it takes an hour before we see every multi verse spiderman come into play for about 35 or so mins all we really see is miles just stumbling trying to figure out what is happening to him and as he talks to himself it getès so annoying i just want to clog my ears the animation looks like an old video game i used to play wish i could remember which one and the music through out the film is bad bad bad and there are only a few jokes in the movie that get a laugh or 2 with only 50 mins left in the movie we really don't see very much of the other spiderman fight until the very end and even then poky and nic cage have less then 10 min of actual fight time like i said it focus most on miles and man is he an idiot for most of the film it was very cringy another thing if i remember peter never had a father in the movies or the comics so why did he it confused me and I don't ever remember a female doc oc one last thing wtf is with the size and look of the king pin he is ugly anyway will not be buying or watching this again Ièll stick to the other flims they are way better,4 "If you haven't seen any of the Xmen movies or seen Watchmen then I suppose this series might seem fresh. Visually it borrows heavily from Zak Snyder's film Watchmen. Since Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons Watchmen graphic novel was first published in the 1980s its influence cannot be underestimated as it introduced superheroes as being flawed and having human fallibility. This take on superheroes was largely due to 2000AD'S anti-hero approach which Umbrella Academy also uses as a basis although there's nothing but regurgitated concepts and ideas here, the characterisation is flat and uninteresting. The only thing of interest was the visuals and mise-en-scene. As others have mentioned, the pacing is slow and boring, the music is awful and at times inappropriate and it made me cringe. I think it might be good if you've not seen anything like this before but for those that have read/seen lots of this type of genre it holds nothing worth seeing.",5 "Not expecting much after GoT's last season's disaster. However, I'm pleasantly surprised how captivating the world and plot are in HotD. Plus the dragons look amazing! From the first episode, I immediately feel empathetic towards the majority of characters, even the ones I knew will be ""rotten"" in the end. As per GoT tradition, the gray areas of morality are palpable and the indecision on whose camp you should be on is part of the allure (Currently on camp Rhaenyra!). The first two episodes just gave enough blood, gore, ohhhs, ahhhs and scheming in between all of it. Cons: lighting! Looks very dark!",8 One of the best series I've ever seen in my life! The performance of Mikkelsen is perfect! The Hannibal character fits him perfectly! The storyline is great! A very well adapted version.,10 "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) is a movie my wife and I saw in theatres as soon as it came out. The storyline follows a former Hollywood star whose star has begun to dim. As his career begins to die so does the career of his stunt man. As they deal with their spiraling careers the rise of the Manson family is about to hit Hollywood. This movie is directed by Quentin Tarantino (Django) and stars Leonardo DiCaprio (The Departed), Brad Pitt (Fight Club), Margot Robbie (Suicide Squad), Timothy Olyphant (The Crazies), Dakota Fanning (The Alienist), Al Pacino (Scarface) and Bruce Dern (The Hateful Eight). The characters are perfectly written, cast and delivered. The script is out of this world and this movie had a ton of potential. There were several worlds colliding in this picture during this time period that was fascinating. However, the conclusion of this film tried to be too much like Inglorious Bastards and have its own Tarantino spin on history that didn't work as well in this picture...it actually kind of ruined it for me. If they showed what really happened I think this would have been a far better film. Overall this is a very smart, well written movie that runs a bit longer than it needed to and has a mediocre to bad ending. I would rate this the lowest of all Tarantino films and give it a 6/10.",6 "This was so poorly written and poorly acted that I am shocked it was even made, let alone rated favourably. It feels like it was written by a person who has never experienced normal human interaction: someone who was shunned by everyone at school for being an obnoxious, emotionally-stunted bad vibe. However, it seems that in Hollywood, even the person voted ""least entertaining"" in high school can have their script greenlit to entertain the masses."" Literally ANYTHING ELSE on Netflix is more watchable than this. The only thing positive about this movie is that it looks visually polished and colourful.",1 "Best part:- was Music drop, the lighting - which takes you to MUMBAI CHAWL, STREETS, the Toilet scene was actually disturbing, but actors played the part really well. Bad Part:- Story has only the success part, it was not giving any roller coaster ride, it was going predictable and I watched 1.5x and skipped story sometimes. I was expecting that what If POLICE/CBI caught him, that part could bring more adventures. Overall- Bhuvan Bam was the center of excellence in this series. Other Actors Madhu, And Bakery Man etc were experienced actors too. They all did their part with 100% efforts. It's a worth watching OTT experience.",8 "I feel like it's a very good adaptation of the books because I felt exactly the same way I felt after reading the first one. This is so boring, no chance I'll continue it. The main actor is terrible.",5 "Good performances, but slow convoluted plot in a movie that's 40minutes too long. It's certainly no John Le Carre but always good to see Charlotte Rampling in anything at all and Jennifer Lawrence is a fine actress but it's difficult for anyone to carry a movie of 2hours and 20 minutes .",6 "When this series first started it was amazing. Something new and interesting finally hit the TV waves. Then, little by little, season by season, it's gone downhill. Season 4? All I can say is WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?! It's gone from a unique show to a run-of-the-mill yawnfest.",2 "In this series I feel that the life of Hawking at 70s and the real meaning of friendship,love and care about ours. I feel the school of the Hawking where they use to go for study. Many times I wish that is mine school life. I also experience that the real love is come from care only. After watching eleven and Mike love. And in the Beginning i think it is sifi series with some weird characters but slowly I understand that why and how it was.. It also family vibes many time the eyes filled with water after watched the emotional scene. I think this series is satisfied all the viewers. Thanks for this type of series Duffer brothers.",9 "30 minutes into the first episode and the acting is just deplorable, it's on the level of Power Rangers acting. At least my 7 year old cousin enjoys it.",2 These so-called commenters they gave it a 10 out of 10 you must be getting paid a whole lot for that oh you must be totally brain-dead and don't know a thing about what actually happened and after watching this movie you still don't first of all it's all occurred over a 9 day period. Second of all the weather was overcast and foggy but the seas were calm . The Germans were unable to see what was going on because of the fog. The British lost approximately 177 aircraft. They also lost eight ships do two actions by submarines motor torpedo boats or German bombers or mines. Most of the people that made it out we're loaded onto larger ships at various docks. Those that could not get into these docks had to anchor out because of the shallowness of the waters in that area and smaller craft ferried the people out to them. This movie was horribly directed conceived and produced bearing no resemblance whatsoever to the actual happenings of that period Of time. This waste of time and money deserves no rating.,1 "The mixture among heroes, corruption and blood is just perfect.",8 "Intriguing story about a forced spy recruit that engages in a double-play of seduction, deceipt and courage (at the constant risk of life). Well written and fairly well performed, after a certain point the protagonist's motives really seem unclear from which the suspense benefits immensely. Luckily, the love story part isn't exaggerated as might be expected. Even though some turning points are predictable, the film is still entertaining due to its spy world setting and the beautiful locations.",7 "I didn't understand this movie at all. I went in expecting great things from Tarantino and this star-studded cast and was letdown entirely. It felt off, jolted, stilted, forced-- everything and all. There were some redeemable scenes and Leo's performance was especially noteworthy, but the overall direction seemed completely wrong. This didn't feel like a Tarantino movie; it felt like a parody.",3 "Usually I don't write Reviews as I think that everybody should get his own impression and not be influenced by somebody else's. But given the huge promotion for this movie as well as the misleading rating and comments here on IMDb, I feel kind of urged to leave this comment in order to warn all the people out there not having seen this mess of a movie yet... Not being a big fan of the whole new Superhero Genre / Franchises, this movie even manages - among with the first ""Wolverine"" movie, which was quite much terrible - to be the worst in the whole ""X-Men Universe"" for me. What makes it so bad? why it doesn't work: 1. When Professor Xavier manages to stop time with his mind while Wolverine manages with his last force to kill all the bad guys who want to steal the young mutant (on the other hand, this scene is basically a rip-off of ""X-Men Apocalypse"" and the scene involving super-fast Quick- silver; thus: nothing new indeed. we have seen it all before...) 2. The scene near the end when they hunt each other through the forest with Wolverine jumping on the enemies running in front of him is quite amazing. All the rest is rather cheap and / or unfunny; a cheap car-chase rip- off of ""Mad Max IV"" involved before they can escape behind the rolling train... + SPOILER: ... this extremely unsatisfying event, when Professor Xavier (the supposed to be wise guy) accepts the invitation (or rather forces Wolverine to accept) by this nice family who had problems with their truck... How stupid is this??? Obviously they are all killed in the end - but don't worry - no bad conscience involved...^^ Heck, they are on the run...! Xavier should be the rational, old, wise man, shouldn't he?! How bad writing is that? Too bad to be true... This movie is utterly ridiculous... :D Are the 2 mentioned well-crafted action sequences worth your money for the entry fee? Certainly NOT! 7 minutes of enjoyment for 2h 10 of boredom? That's a bad exchange... Thus my advice: Safe your money, stay at home...^^ ...or watch something really worth your money! :)",3 "Without a plot in this anime, it makes it less interesting and becomes rather boring. All it is about is 3 horny teenage boys wanting to desperately experience love and thinking they are big shots. Seriously waste of time...",2 "The punisher season 2 surprised me positively. It's just perfectly phased and have moments that just either got me sad or thrilled its whole run its full of that Wauw events. John Bernthal is the punisher no doubt about, his rough interpretation off this brutal sad man is just perfect. You never know who the hell Frank gonna hurt or kill next. The punisher 2 is brutal but satisfieng and even better its never boring. The show has some flaws like the Billy Russo the jigsaw villain is maybe not that good told and his scenes just doesn't make a lot of sense if you had red the comics. Season 2 is definitely worth a watch and its almost as good as season 1 and rightfully deserved an 8 score",8 "A lot of easter eggs,great actors performing, Owen role is perfect,great design. Overall 9.2-9.3 rating.",6 "It was boring, not scary, not funny, not intense, and the only likable, reasonable, and somewhat funny character was John Malkovich's. If I could give a negative review I would.",1 "I think they were trying to be deep and profound, but what resulted was two hours of head-splitting chaos and confusion. It is a shame, because I had high hopes for this movie. I just don't understand the hype. They tried too hard to be weird. I think at the end they were trying to pull the heartstrings, but I was too confused to know for sure. I'm not even sure what the movie was about. I think it had something to do with familial relations, or perhaps current tax laws? Whatever it was, they should have had an epileptic seizure warning.",4 "Enjoyed the movie which is full of suspense. I have to say Jennifer is excellent and am totally surprised she is not nominated for an Oscar!? Duh, Lady Gaga get nominated for a sub par performance! I highly recommend this movie and see for yourself the excellence this production delivers. Very good!",9 "One can say many things about writer-director Damien Chazelle's ""La La Land"" and, indeed, the critics' plaudits and accolades have already infiltrated our national consciousness: it's a valentine to movie musicals; it's a musical for people who don't like musicals; it's a feel-good movie for all audiences; it's a tonic for our national malaise. The story--separated into seasonal chapters--is pretty basic: Emma Stone is a barista on the Warner Bros. movie lot who aspires to be an actress but can't get passed the audition phase; Ryan Gosling is a jazz pianist who longs to play his own compositions. They encourage each other to follow their dreams, which doesn't necessarily mean taking the financially lucrative road (although having money in the bank would certainly be an incentive for a better future, even if the 'artistic value' isn't there yet). Yes, Chazelle is in love with movies--he steals enough from the motion picture past to tell us that--and, certainly, the opening musical number on a jammed Los Angeles freeway is full of contagious acrobatic joy and celebration. The trouble is, these two young people aren't willing to compromise (perhaps that would be allowing for too much realism). Chazelle attempts to show us that success doesn't always lead to happiness, yet his protagonists don't see the big picture; starry-eyed, they want instant gratification through artistic expression. The dancing is polished (too polished, I thought) and the early numbers (such as one with Stone and her girlfriends) have a sprightly quality that is old-fashioned in concept and charmingly lacking in pretension. Still, the hardships of a romantic relationship pulled in different directions isn't all that interesting here, mainly because Gosling and Stone seem so charmed and picture-perfect. She trembles with a beginner's desperation during her auditions and is convincingly unhappy when her one-woman show doesn't pan out, but watching her out to dinner with an affluent date and his friends reveals nothing more than a princess eager to try another throne. Gosling has a moment or two when he's able to give us a natural response to a line or situation, but his concern for Stone seldom registers. The brightly-painted film is reaching for a certain height--a plastic paradise, a movie heaven--that will flood us with good feelings in its attempt and break our hearts with its climax. However, if you are not invested in these characters by the midway point, it will all seem like a glossy charade. ** from ****",4 "The 7th and final episode of director Craig Zobel's miniseries Mare of Easttown aired today and I must say it has been one of the most intelligent, engaging and thought-provoking crime dramas I have seen in recent times. Oscar-winner Kate Winslet captivates as the eponymous Detective Mare Sheehan as she sets out to solve a bizarre set of incidences of murder and kidnapping of teenage girls in an otherwise quiet Philadelphia town. The genius of the series is the level to which the director, while holding on to suspense and thrills, managed to imbue emotion and show how different people deal with tragic circumstances in their life. Winslet is the life and soul of the series, impeccably displaying her wide range, owning all the investigation sequences as her detective persona while mesmerising the audience with a restrained, layered portrayal in her role as a grieving mother. Prepare to be emotionally drained by the end of this one. The suspense elements, the emotion and the sheer range of acting-Top draw stuff! Highly recommended!",8 "I have always loved this show and so far I have seen 2 episodes of season 3. But I would prefer a more clear and straightforward timeline to tell the story, even though most of the time I can tell when is the past and when is the present based on the conversation and scares no their face apparently lol, but I think they can do it better and make a more smoothly transfer or give more hints between the past and present. I'll keep watching the show and hope it doesn't fail me!",9 "This movie is proof that Spiderman is all human. It really answers the question that if we were super heroes in real life what it will do to our life. It is two years later, and Peter Parker popularity as Spiderman keeps growing, but his social life as been lost, he can't keep a job, has trouble keeping up with Harry Osborne and Mary Jane Watson, and his grades in college continue to slip. One day the pressure of it all catches up with him, and then he decides to quit being Spiderman. Just when his normal life gets back on track, a new villain who has four mechanical arms attached to him called Dr. Octupus, begins causing mayhem in the city. Will Peter come back to being Spiderman again to stop him. Watch the movie to find out. I really enjoyed watching this movie because it had great special effects, and it showed the reality of what it would be like being a superhero.",10 "Was I entertained, mildly. Did some of the scences seem like an eternity, yes. Should the movie been nominated for multiple academy awards, NO. Best original screenplay, must have been 'lost' in the filming. I saw this film the night after viewing Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, and I feel this may have altered my feelings regarding 'Lost in Translation'. I just did not connect with the characters, felt a little something for Bill, but it was more of a shrug of the shoulders than a tear in the eye. Mr. Murray did a good job of being a past prime movie star, but it was not that much of a stretch, sorry Bill. When you reach for the case after 40 minutes to see how long the movie is, it is not a good sign.",2 "This movie was pretty ordinary, the CGI was amazing but that's about it. The music was good, I guess. Waited the whole movie for Eminem's titular track. Everybody just felt so 1 dimensional with absolutely no character development! The pacing was all over the place although it felt shorter than a 2 hour movie I could not wait for it to be over. As I said Cgi was great a few good action scenes don't make for a bad movie.",5 "He ruined the bond films by trying to bring back the nostalgia cheese. He's now tried to be quirky with the way he's filmed this film and in some scenes it works but like over people have said it looks and feels like a video game. The cast is excellent. And the main actor is a fantastic. The story line I believe is from a relative mendes had that would tell him stories of the war too. And Mendes had tried to squeeze a film out of it and it just doesn't stretch. It's ok it's certainly not a 10 maybe a 6 at most but as Mendes ruined my favorite Bond in Daniel Craig it's a bitter 5 stars for me.",5 "It's a good movie but not a masterpiece Kuch kuch jaga story slow ho gai thi Aur sala Aditya Kapoor aur sanya to bas story main gusa diya hai aisa lagta hai Wo nhi hote to bhi koi farak nhi padta story main Pankaj and Rajkumar bhai rocks Rohit and pearly did wonderful work",8 "I would rate Season 1 a 7.5 out of 10 overall. It's a pretty good adaptation of the game, but a lot of the emotional moments and tension fall short compared to the game. The background and supporting characters are well-developed, but the main character's emotions are not fleshed out enough. As I mentioned earlier, the show spends too much time on the background and supporting characters, and there's simply not enough time to develop the main character, who is supposed to be the focus of the show. Unless you have a lot of episodes to work with, it's hard to understand how even new characters can be given a full episode. The fight scenes are well-done, but they miss out on many of the life-or-death moments from the game. Don't think that these moments aren't important, because cutting them out takes away from the story's emphasis on relationships. Originally, these moments were meant to deepen the characters' relationships, and the feeling of overcoming obstacles was lost when the show became more of a road trip. I can't accept the excuse that these moments were cut for the sake of realism, because in a zombie apocalypse, it's not realistic to travel miles without encountering any zombies. Making the third episode end with a happy-ever-after is also unrealistic. The most obvious reason for these cuts is budget constraints and the limited number of episodes in the season. As a result, the show had to cut so much that it focused its budget on only a few scenes, like the teeth-chattering and bloater scenes. The new hive mind setting was also only given one episode, which is disappointing. It feels like the show jumps around too much to focus on the important events, cutting out too much in between.",7 A brilliantly well made emotional masterpiece Really loved it Highly recommended for everyone to watch it I don't have words for the brilliant performance by Rakshit Shetty in the movie what an actor just awesome Charlie you rule our hearts.,10 "It's a superhero movie where the superhero is a kid so the fact that it was more of a family film wasn't a shocker for me. But even then, it lacks any of kind of originality and there's really nothing that stands out. An edgy orphan kid gains the ability to transform into a Superman like superhero when he says ""Shazam"". He has to defeat the guy that wants to kill him and his diverse new family.",5 "Seriously what the actual heck are Mitchel and Cameron doing, I'm gay my self before anyone starts I hated most of their scenes they are just irritating, not encouraging you put just the most repellent characters in person in these 2 people. For god sake I dream to watch such a show with my family not alone I love Phil and Claire and their kids, Jay is my favorite person in the show the show is less watchable in the first season the second gets eventually much better but it's not something you can watch with a traditional family just because Mitchel and Cameron makes it less family friendly unfortunately.",8 "Awesome unbelievable. What ah movie. . !!!👌👌👌 👏👏👏",10 "Everyone, who has watched all the episodes will be left with a lot of questions. But it does make you wanna wait for season 2 with more answers. Everyone who's saying that loki isn't the character that MCU always presented us. It's because now they want to fit Loki (the character) with the new phase of movies and Series.",9 "Every character played their role great. Lights, music and actors are really great. Just the triss role has shown us as side character but she is an important one and also please find new triss.",9 "OK, let me try to sum this up. First of all I'd like to point out that this is not necessarily a bad movie, it will keep you entertained. You got a decent plot (yet fairly predictive), you got humor, and you got somewhat interesting characters. HOWEVER, what you got most of is CGI, CGI and... CGI. I grew up with the Harry Potter movies and every time a new one came out I was always excited to see what new cool stuff they might of added with the latest technology. These days you can animate almost anything and therefor some of that magic (no pun intended) you had before is now lost. I simply do not get impressed by the ""fanastic beasts"", I only see a blob of CGI that I can't relate to, they do not feel like a part of the real world, and there is just so many of them that after a while they end up giving me a headache. During one part of the movie I ended up wondering if I'm not in fact watching The Avengers or X-Men. There's also one scene that reminded me very much of a particular scene from Star Wars, (You'll get it). Do I recommend this movie? Well if you don't mind the things I just mentioned, you might like it.",6 "Steven Soderbergh, as observed by other reviewers and critics, did take inspiration from the kinds of films Eric Rohmer's been making for decades. These kinds of films, as Sex, Lies, and Videotape is at its core, about people in morality crises, and how they get out of them or linger with how they act is the point. Some people may not like the film, therefore, as nothing incredibly outrageous or spectacular will occur. For all the attention Soderbergh received (Golden Palm, Independent Spirits, Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, immediate recognition), he's made a small film, and it's not as ambitious as some of his later, greater works like Out of Sight and Traffic. But as a revealing, intimate character study, with an often clever and controlled mis-en-scene, Soderbergh shows his skills were already honed at twenty-six. Without good acting the film would be like a hopeless rendition of a foreign film, but with the four lead performances from McDowell, Gallagher, Gia Como, and Spader (his is most under-stated of the bunch for me) these are as fully realized characters as Soderbergh could get. They all must've taken something about the characters in the script, because for all the flaws and misconceptions and fears these characters carry, they are human. Even Gallagher's John, who's the conniving husband and lawyer, is recognizably as he is even when he's comparatively lesser than Graham and Ann. Only one side character, the barfly played by Steven Brill, gets the film to immediately halt with uncomfortable humor. But the rest of the film, loaded with innuendo (there's not one shot of nudity, similar to a Rohmer film like Chloe in the Afternoon, where the cover art of the film is rather misleading to those looking for a film with breasts and other parts) and involving drama, doesn't shake its foundations until maybe the last five to ten minutes. And when it does, it does not make the film a lost cause, at least for me. Begs to be seen again, though with maybe a year or so between viewings. A-",10 "The movie has no storyline, a poor script, very poor direction and third class acting. There is no research on Bangladesh or Dhaka. The shooting location was not even here. Perhaps the movie was inspired by some nations who are under long tribal conflict. And the hero fights with some untrained militia. A low budget, cheaply executed movie. It was waste of time to watch the movie and even writing this review. Maybe it was aimed to humiliate Bangladesh on some propaganda purposes, else, i don't see any characteristics of a good movie in it. Not even motivation to finance, produce or direct this movie Very cheap work fellows.",1 Many scenes are unnecessaryly long. You can make the same movie 1 hour shorter and nobody can understand the difference...,4 "This movie is an average action movie, so I would rate it approx 6. But just because people give it way overrated score, I will add low score just to be one of those sane mind reviewers, who wants to see a moce get an deserved rating. All the hype abput this movie being ""out of this planet"" got me so entusiastic to watch it, that I just could not wait. And now... My goodness! Are you all kidding with this way overrated score? This movie is nothing more but an average action movie with bit of a story to it. Even acting is average. Not bad, but average. I guess it is true when they say it is political agenda behind this almost fully black cast. Movie is ok, it is not as Godly as they make you wana think it is, it has nothing profound to offer nor it is some cinematographic masterpiece. Would I recommend it for a nice movie night? Yes, sure, because it os action packed with some good sceenery and stuff. Would I say it is something profound and touching, thought provoking and lifechanging experience? My God no, far far from mindblowing. Just an average action movie, made with mostly black cast due to the Africa-themed script and that's just about it. All the political stulidity behind it is nothing but false, undeserved hype.",4 "The hype, enthusiasm, technology, acting skills, not to mention the iconic doll that promised a fantastic movie does not live up, sorry to say, to the incredibly inane writing of this film. I was totally with it at the intro though, with the 2001 ""Space Odyssey"" score and the portrayal of a new concept - a doll that does not need nurturing. I thought this is gonna be great. Even in the first 15 minutes of being exposed to modern movie fantasy sets I still had good expectations, especially since Margot Robbie is so talented. It did not take long, however, for things to fall apart. The corny dialogue falls flat. Jokes are not funny (unless you are perhaps a fan of American corny slapstick humor). It is not witty either and one has to wonder which age group the writers are aiming for throughout the entire film. I can't imagine a 13 year-old (let alone younger kids with their parents) understanding what is going on in this convoluted sex roll obsessed story that consists of such foolish, not to mention allusive dialogue. If this film was for adults, then that is even more appalling. The aforementioned faults are only part of the problem. The plot, which I deemed pointless, confusing and totally unengaging was only a minor distraction to the supporting characters, which were either braindead or lacking any kind of believability, (except for perhaps the Ruth Handler character). It is one thing for dolls to be brainwashed and then transported back and forth with a simplicity even Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz would find effortlessly trite, but as said before, the ""real life"" characters don't have that justification. You can't really relate to any of them. I almost never write reviews, but this film was so bad I could not get the criticism out of my head. It is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I gave it a 3 simply because of Margot Robbie and the innovative sets. Otherwise it would have gotten a 1. If you need a Barbie fix, you are much better off with Aqua's ""Barbie Girl"" from 1997.",3 "I was a big fan of the Iron Man comic book series. This movie didn't come close to what Iron Man was about. Rather than have a real plot, with characters that you can care about, this new movie relies on made-up technological displays and lots and lots of explosions. No real substance. As far as having Scarlett Johanson being as an action heroine - not really believable! Still great to look at though - blonde or brunette. What was Gwyneth Paltrow even given credit for being in the movie...I'll bet she was in it for all of twelve minutes. All-in-all, at best this is a rental and not worth the money I paid for admission.",3 "I just finished season 2 and if this is the best the Human race has to offer in the future then we are all doomed. Lets stop trying to make the kids the heros in all tv shows and let the adults do what they have been trained to do. Season 2 is just badly writen.",3 Basically every characters in Season 3 are very annoying. No content at all just see them keep shouting and no taking action. Season 3 sucks!,3 "The thing I kept hearing about 'Ford v Ferrari' was that even if you're not into the car racing side of things there is enough other stuff going on to keep you entertained. I can confirm that was not correct information. This movie is two and half hours long and the entire thing is about motor sports. If you don't like motor sports, this film will not be to your liking. You can appreciate things about it like Matt Damon and Christian's Bale's fine acting, but overall this will likely not be a pleasant experience for you. The film has been nominated for Best picture at the Academy Awards. I was a little surprised by that. I think it speaks more to a weaker year in terms of good films than anything else. This would easily be the worst of the nine nominated films and the least likely to win. It ticks none of the boxes required to compete for the win and is simply there as filler. If Bale had been nominated in an acting category I would have seen that as a more worthy nomination. The biggest problem I had with the film is that we are asked to side with Ford. Ferrari are shown to be scumbags - the only problem is that Ford are as well. So why should we root for them? Simply because we are told to? That was incredibly poor writing and something that was hard to get past. If you are smart enough to realise that Ford aren't worth supporting then you are left with 150 minutes of film runtime about something you couldn't care less about. The ending was cheesy and out of character, the film was predictable and the tone was uneven and hard to settle in to. This is not a film I would recommend seeing unless you are a motor sport fanatic.",4 "...with the harshness of many of these reviews. This show is exciting, tense, has interesting characters and suspenseful writing. It's also beautiful and well produced. Yes, there's nothing R-rated, it has some cheesy drama here and there but it's a great show for families with a bit older kids. Thank you Netflix!",9 "I'm not really a fan of Kareena Kapoor, and I knew she (and her ex-beau, Shahid ) have had a few flops in the past. This movie had been out for a while, and I had totally ignored it - till I found out the director, Imtiaz, was the same person who made the film Socha Na Tha (SNT). That movie incedentally is a treat to watch, if you haven't seen it yet, do check it out. Kareena is tolerable; she is especially good in the second half when she gets to drop the annoying non-stop chatterbox avatar. Shahid is suitably understated and passes muster. He needs to get his front two teeth fixed tho, pronto ! The good points - clean, family fun, its not over the top, keeps you interested till the end. Where the film lacks is in the level of intimacy it portrays between the lead actors. The settings were there; the film could have been much much more had the lead actors been allowed to interact in a more realistic manner.",7 "I am STILL waiting for SOMETHING to happen in this movie! I just knew that I would find many folks praise this bizarre movie simply because of its oddness. I actually HAD to force myself to finish watching this movie. I turned it off three times and I will sit through just about anything!! It is sooo pretentious and DULL. Unless one enjoys STUDYING camera tricks and angles, I just can't see where the enjoyment lies. There are problems from the start but I will focus on only two. 1. CASTING mistake. Jim Carey does a respectable job playing with his ""serious actor's face."" On the other hand, Kate Winslet is quite miscast as a bohemian, free-spirited, American. She fails on ALL three counts. Everything about her screams UPTIGHT. Watching Kate Winslet play a carefree American is about as convincing as watching your conservative granny turn into a glamorous sex kitten after simply putting on a mini skirt and go-go boots. Who NEEDS to see that mess?? Is she from New York or Boston? Her accent is very flat, very Midwestern with many lapses into a musical British twang. Was anyone coaching her on her accent at all?? She is a competent actress in most films, but few actresses can play ANY role. She is a glaring mistake that made it impossible for me to buy her role or CARE. 2. Where is the STORY? Problem number TWO is shocking to me. This movie takes an interesting idea and goes NOWHERE. Imagine this movie filmed in a direct, straight forward way ... NOTHING special, right? If the filming technique and style become the story, than there wasn't one to begin with. I do not care about the characters and I am not awed that the scenes are filmed out of order. Where is the plot? I tried to find one but despite forcing my eyes to stay open, I was just bored. Really bored. Bottom line: Interesting idea and filming technique in places. Overall, BORING and dreary.",2 "Don't worry, the planet is dying but America will rescue us. Sadly Hollywood and Fox propagates this storyline, but it is entertaining and that is the function of a movie. The sadness of course is the fact that we dont need some terrible mysterious world wide infection in a movie, it is happening.",7 "Way to many over the top scenes. It's like you've let a 6 year old boy make an action film. Less is sometimes more, don't bother",2 "Just far too childish in its nature, i know you can claim most superheroes movies are childish in nature as they are make believe but this felt like a kids Christmas movie with a superhero instead of santa. 2 leads I must say were decent especially the boy, shazams likeness to Jimmy Fallon did throw me from time to time Comedy was borderline Nickelodian, just awful. I'd wait for this to slink onto a streaming platform. Waste of a night out",4 "Love the magic, love the creatures, love the chance to revisit this world with some fun protagonists. But the story was scattered, partly because origin movies have to introduce SO much. (Simply keeping track of the creatures would have taken a detailed spreadsheet.) And I wish the bad guys were as developed as the good guys. Still, fun holiday movies are not a bad thing.",6 Terrible movie. Cliche story like a bad 80's action movie with horrible writing. Samuel Jackson should get a new agent.,3 "So, here's my rant about this series. Why call it ""LOST IN SPACE"" call it something else. How about just plain ""LOST""? Anyone who has ever watched the ORIGINAL series is probably gagging on this one. WHY? They, the writers, have taken a perfectly good series from 1965-1968 and made it completely senseless. Okay it's already run for 2 seasons as of 2020, but it's just not the same and I wish they would stop trying to do something better. It's only better if it's original and this definitely is not that. If you're a millennial you might, might, like this, because you have never been exposed to the original. To all those writers for TV series out there, STOP and think about it before you start trying to re-invent the wheel. It will never ever be as good as the original.",3 "Not much happened. Also, pretty much the same presmise as The Happening (2008) - except Bird Box went with some odd supernatural beings which are never explained. The Happening also had Mark Wahlberg, this one had a bunch of pregnant single mothers.",3 "Jennifer Lawrence as sexy Dominika who gets set up by a family member who sends her off to the Soviet Sparrow seduction school for agents where Charlotte Rampling plays a very controlling matron. Most enjoyable and fascinating scenarios are played out which keep you on the edge of your seat most of the time. Lawrence exudes sex with a capital S throughout the show which is the glue which cements the plot, a compelling and riveting spy tale with a surprise ending you would never have guessed.",9 "Since January, every film I've watched that's from my IMDb top 100 poster has been one that I've already seen before, and this one keeps the streak. Soon I'm getting into the top 10, which I hope will be interesting, since it has quite a lot of films that are completely new to me. For now: two last films from this row of the poster. Pushing on. Forrest Gump has a very simple premise: there's this guy named Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) who's not the sharpest tool in the shed. Despite this fact, this man manages to go on all sorts of adventures, innocently passing through big historical events. Throughout his journeys, more than anything, he tries to come back to his one love, Jenny (Robin Wright), even if fate doesn't seem to allow it. Let's start with some general stuff: the soundtrack, for starters, is pretty good. I love the classic rock dominance there, and the score itself carries this light, slightly wistful tone, and it complements the film well. The cast is solid, too. No mind-blowing performances here, in my opinion, but pretty good ones nonetheless. The movie also has a sense of humor that's not too bad, often revolving around Forrest not understanding a situation but still acting based on his instincts, explaining it later in an amusing, cute way, and yeah, it leads to moments that were pretty fun to watch. The movie goes for this stream-of-consciousness structure plot-wise, which is rather linear here because this is Forrest we're talking about, after all, but it does feel just like him spilling everything regarding his story, innocently, truthfully, and to complete strangers. This structure allows us to go through a lot of fun anecdotes from Forrest's life, but it makes this movie feel rather messy and directionless from time to time. It can get a little exhausting, especially considering its 142-minute runtime. The philosophy of this movie is a bit off, too. Like, it tries to discover fate and free will and all, but I feel like it doesn't really tackle those questions in any interesting way whatsoever, and when the movie tries to go a little deeper into them it's always a little cringeworthy. Not related to it being a very Christian movie, but just to how it's very surface level and self-contradictory, not in a way that works well. There's also the Jenny thing that's going throughout the movie, and I honestly feel like something's missing here, too, both when it comes to their chemistry, the lacking true emotional connection, and when it comes to the way that things went plot-wise. They have their moments, but I can't help but feel like the movie wants to feel like it has solved some issues between those two when this is actually far from being the case. I don't know, it's just that something's a little weird about it. Lazily written. The thing is, Forrest Gump is still working, overall. Mainly because of just how likeable Forrest is, always trying to be a good person and having goofy, fun little moments. He just lets his feelings out, like a child, and there's something really pure about that. I feel like, at the end of day, this movie is a little bit like your average pizza - it doesn't have much value health-wise, and the taste won't blow your taste buds, but it's enough to fill you up if you're hungry and you'll still have a nice time eating. Pizza is, like, the most agreeable thing ever. So, yeah, just an accessible, easy-to-watch movie, that doesn't really do much special, but still works okay. Likeable main character, a plot that's a little messy, a little tiresome, but still a good time overall. I'm feeling a 6.4/10 on this one.",6 This must be the most underrated tv sitcom ever after it's original release which after a low rating fox canceled the show. later this show got the attention it deserves,9 "Guru is a story of a great man in the corporate world of India! His ups and downs in his life span! It was clearly acted by bollywood finest cast actors: Abhishek Bachan, Aishwarya Rai, Mithun, Vidya Balan and Madhavan. A fantastic film! Great material from India in a long time now! When it comes to the actors, Abhishek play the role of his lifetime, to describe in one word: BRILLIANT! He has really matured in his acting skills! Aishwarya Rai plays the supporting wife! Her performance is actually effortless! She suited well playing an ambitious simple village girl (it didn't hurt that she was damn gorgeous!).Other actors who impressed me were Mithun and Vidya balan, good in there own right. Mani ratman who is a great director didn't disappoint this time by extracting great performances and making a memorable movie with great tracks too from A.Rahman. Mine personal favorite was tere bina, which is centralized on one of the most celebrated couples in India. A great movie with great performances! A must see by all!",10 "An outstanding film..A must watch for every movie lover..A visual treat especially for Aishwarya and Hrithik fans..Both have done a commendable job and kudos to Ashutosh Gowariker for having the conviction in the story and going ahead ad making it..Ila Arun was superb as well in her power packed performance..and like Hrithik rightly put it in one of his interviews- the music director AR Rehamn is beyond judgement..He grows from strength to strength with every album he composes..Amazing movie..A little tiring - after all it was 3hr 40min film..But worth itz time..A little more editing, especially in the beginning would have made it better,,But nevertheless..Awesome movie.. And yep, The deadly combo Hrithik-Ash are 2/2...( D2 n nw Jodhaa..) Can't wait to see them together again ASAP!!!!!",10 "I loved this show. Never read the books and ever played the games, but the story is amazing. The show runners seemed to actually care about the source material they were using too, or so it seems. Far too often fantasy movies/TV are made into teen dramas or poorly done. This caught my attention and kept it going the whole way through. Only gripe I had was the timeline. I couldn't quite understand where things were going until episode 5. If that got fixed, it'd be close to perfect.",9 "The Dark Knight is an excellent movie that is well worth your time. It has a great cast, excellent writing, and stunning special effects. The story is compelling and the action is intense. I would highly recommend seeing it if you are a fan of movies.",6 "First off let me just say that i went into this movie with excitement.. This may be due to what other people have posted or just all the publicity that this movie put out.. So im sitting in my seat watching the movie expecting brilliance.. well for about the first 15 minutes of the movie nothing is said AT ALL. So i think either this is gunna be bad or this is going to be very original.I could some this movie up in about one sentence but i find it is better to elaborate... anyways, im sure you already know the movie is about a greedy man and oil.. well it doesn't go a whole lot deeper than that.. The performance ddl delivers is one of a kind i will say that, but that is the best part of the movie.. it was like your sitting there the whole time waiting for something to happen and nothing ever does.. The music is very distastefull but i guess fitting in a different way.. im mean i was expecting one heck of a story and i felt like i got duped by all the HYPE. Whoever got the idea to put this story into film was completely ignorant and they must have very much liked watching grass grow.. So all in all don't listen to the HYPE because you will be sadly disappointed.. i personally wouldn't give this movie a score higher than a 5 Tops.. and i love and appreciate great movies and this just isn't one of them.... p.s this is not even in comparison to No Country For Old Mean.. Which i think was the best movie of the year perhaps the past 5.",2 "Here are the many reasons : * Wooden acting by henry cavill. * Blacks, asians ,... in medieval Europa * Cheap CGI * No Epicness",1 "First 3-4 episodes are very boring and you can even skip them, I dont think you will miss anything. Later it gets more interesting story. After finishing whole series I give this 5 because of very slow boring 3-4 episodes.",5 "Every single Hollywood cliché is used. A 5 year old can finish just about every sentence in the lines of the actors. The tricks are so ridiculous that actual magic would have been more believable. And heavy cgi is used to augment these ""tricks"" to make them even more ridiculous. The ""twist"" at the end is so boring, and predictable - not from the plot, but from the Hollywood cliché expectation of ""let's put the ridiculous 'twist' in the end"" motive. This movie is an insult to intelligence. If you like the ""infinity PLUS one"" arguments, this is exactly what this movie is.",3 "A show about a monster hunter turns into an on- and off-screen politics debacle. Random characters with poorly written dialogue and average performances debating politics for hours. Briefly interrupted by pointless LGBT scenes (which add nothing to the story), and very few action scenes that offer too short of a relief, like rain drops in a screenwriting desert. The lines of the side characters are interchangeable, no depth nor merit to their arguments, they almost feel like NPCs in the video game. One can see an attempt to bring about a Game of Thrones scenario with multiple kingdoms fighting for dominance, politic and betrayal. But without the mastery of writing craftsmanship required to pull this off. But even if there was the talent to pull off such a writing feat, it would leave the main character on the sidelines of such events. In a world where even the wizards turn into full-time politicians, and the monsters are nothing but naive distractions, there is no room for a monster hunter.",2 "After having watched the first episode, I was a little annoyed as I really like the MCU universe. Still, I was curious as the episodes have so many Easter eggs, references to the movies, and the big question: how will this storyline evolve. Now having watched episode 4 I am hooked to see the rest of the season. I must admit: you must have seen most of the other MCU movies to understand how the story develops and the hints to Stark, Hydra, Sword. I therefore give this series a 9 out of 10, as newcomers to the MCU will not understand what they're looking at.",9 "Venom's a beautifully bad movie that's all-out in its over-the-top nature and its overly oddball Tom Hardy. This movie exists purely as an overdue tie-in to 2007's Spider-Man 3: and boy does this ever show in the film's mid-2000s-inspired Hollywood aesthetics. It's got the hallmarks of a non-MARVEL Studios MARVEL film: stingy references related to the ONE central character in the movie due to rights issues and building up to sequels before even telling the story at hand. This film is an eccentrically empty action-adventure that's trying to tie-in with the modern superhero film craze taking the world by storm. Unfortunately, Venom isn't a very strong example of the genre's strengths: it's a movie made because 'it-had-to-be-done' for Sony (mind you it's not nearly as ATROCIOUS Fox's/Constantin Films' Fant4stic!). Venom's cynical but dumb fun, average story filled with 'ballsy' action sequences guaranteed to make fans of the character proud, but there's not a hell of a lot else to discover in this film. Venom gets 2.5/5 turds in the wind.",5 "Ignore the insecure DC fan-boys down voting this film and giving it 1 star. It was a masterpiece and quite possible the greatest superhero film of all time. Marvel continues to display its superiority with another masterful addition to the MCU. Everything is prefect, the action, the direction, the pacing, the effects, the performances. Spiderman is amazing and ant man also steals the show here. The conflict is explored masterfully and doesn't feel ridiculous and fake like it does in BvS. We actually feel and care for these characters and understand their motivations. The Russo brothers make zack Snyder look like a complete amateur. Do you see Warner bros and DC? This is how you make a movie!!! Do yourself and favor and watch this masterpiece!!! Absolutely incredible stuff!",10 I don't know why they brought season 4. No story nothing simply they waste the time of ours. Pls do not watch because they didn't do anything new. They just tell the same story.,3 "Whoever is responsible for this film should write Arthur Conan Doyle a fervent letter of apology for using his legendary detectives name in vain. Had this film been called the ""Marvelous Adventures of Chuckie and his sidekick Frank"" it may have passed as something of value; as it is, it is a revisionist trashing of the Holmes brand. Nothing about the character portrayed by Robert Downey even comes close to suggesting the persona of Holmes, except maybe the pipe and that was thrown in, it appears, as an afterthought. The plot is silly, the lines ridiculous and the acting is minimal. When the arch villain asks the Houses of Parliament why they are surprised to see him, when all think him dead, it puts an exclamation point on one of the saddest and silliest movies I have seen in a long time. Sorry, Arthur, better luck, hopefully next time.",2 "The sequel to this film just dropped on Netflix and I saw a lot of people raving about it online so decided I'd watch the first to be able to see what the hype was about. After 45 mins I thought it was nearly the end of the film, nope. Tried to persevere and then checked the time again once the family were finding out who had done it but there was still an hour left?! I'm unsure why so many people rate this film....maybe I'm missing something but it wasnt very engaging or funny to me. Disappointing as it did have some good cast members which drew me into watching in the first place. Safe to say I turned it off and won't be bothering with the sequel!",2 "Awesome series, should have gotten few more seasons. It gets one whole additional star just for title track. Crazy.",9 It has a bold and gripping subject. It deserves the praise.,9 "I was fooled into watching this film expecting it to be something special by the ""Golden Globe"" award for Best Drama. In fact, I was so fooled that by the end of it, for a second I was almost convinced it was 'that' good since the final scene was touching. I ignored and overlooked many, many flaws throughout the runtime to give it a fair chance like I do with most movies that are decent. This sometimes includes pretending I didn't pick up on a flaw, an error, a bad performance, or an implausibility. However, after I slept on it and reflected on these things, I had to change my mind, and I just could not ignore the glaring flaws, which were somewhat juvenile and made it feel like the movie was written by a 12-year old. There are numerous scenes in this movie (and they are the ones that are supposed to be the 'most dramatic' and 'intense') that are actually implausible to the point that they can be ridiculed and mocked at how unrealistic they are. In fact, you can actually laugh at them, despite the movie taking these scenes so seriously. It tries to sell itself or pawn itself off as some realistic, gritty take on WWI (and it ""almost"" succeeds, and it does hit the mark at scarce moments), but you can't help but notice that simultaneously it also feels like some kind of unrealistic action movie with maybe Schwarzenegger as its lead since the main actor has laughable plot armor on him. Does it suffice for a new war movie for 2019? Sure, if you want to see a new war movie, then this will give you that genre. And yes, the cinematography is undeniably well-done and at times a marvel to look at. But if you actually stand this movie up against the true great war movies, it really is nothing special. It had a couple of good scenes and traits, but overall it's just not that good. Forget about SPRyan comparisons. It's not even close to that. But for a WWI movie, to even compare it to Atonement in terms of quality would be stretching it; it doesn't have any depth like that does. 4/10",4 "This movie is well worth the watch. It greatly capitalizes on the witch craft movie series - Harry Potter. I really enjoyed the cinematic and the storyline. It was very entertaining and the movie had a phenomenal cast, and most importantly, a well rhythm of suspenseful events. The animation was much better than most movies that are from this genre and FX theme. Overall, Good Job!",7 "I am more of a superhero movie type fan.Not overpowered superhero just ordinary superhero i would say.Like captain america, daredevil, Batman etc.Any way i would like to put it to my second rank.I cannot express by words how much i really liked it.Captain America was my best superhero.But after watching it i am gonna change my mind.This is the one I've been looking for a long time.I should have watched it earlier. how could i missed it earlier",9 I dont usually review but its nice movie all actors played well screen play i slow its the type of movie you can watch it for fun in free time.i saw some people are saying its not good and making religious comments i would say experience it yourself.it is better than movie like goalmaal. I hope everyone like minded would like it,9 "This was a decent movie. Not nearly as good as I had hoped, but decent. The funniest part was just the shock of seeing full frontal male nudity! Yes, you see Jason Segel's junk several times. Kristen Bell is gorgeous in this movie as well as Mila Kunis. Jonah Hill (SuperBad, etc) is in this but is used sparingly. His attraction to the weird rocker (I don't know his name) is one of the funniest aspects of this movie. I'm not a fan of Jason Segel (don't like him in How I Met Your Mother) and this movie didn't really change my mind either. 6 stars is a generous rating from me. It's fairly generic in its approach and really nothing in it is surprising or really entertaining.",6 Why all the hype? And how come the score still remains above 5?,4 "Thank you so much for making this a family friendly show. I thought the days of PG Sci-Fi was over. My 10 year old daughter, my wife and I really enjoyed watching. Cast was awesome. Sci-Fi has enough trashy awkward adult scenes and f- bombs. This was very refreshing and well done. I hope this show has started a new era of family friendly Sci-Fi with inspirational well-intentioned characters. Great job to all involved in making this!",8 "Captain America: Civil War will be known as the Godfather II or Empire Strikes Back of the comic book movie genre. The Russo Brothers emphatically show their mastery of how to blend fantastical, comic gold with honest, complex struggles and emotions any moviegoer can feel or recognize in our reality. The writing that went into the grand action pieces, each character's role and development, and the overall conflict was nothing short of pure genius and heart. This film does all the clever comic book interactions and quips we've come to expect with Marvel, but it takes itself into another threshold of brilliance by providing audiences with a gripping yet balanced plot filled with highly understandable logic behind each characters' motivations. Marvel has given us its pinnacle masterpiece to date, leaving audiences with even more reason to feel happily invested in the MCU. The films listed above were what our parents were passionate to share with us, and I'm glad to say I have found my own.",10 "Buckwas story line hai, unethical climax hai. But, entertaining.",8 "I love movies that just take me on a ride. Like it gives you that feeling you'll never forget it. This movie moved me. Steven Spielberg always does that in his best work. To this day I can never get over War Horse. Anyway, this is a wonderful wonderful movie that I'll never forget. So beautiful. It was also nice to see Seth Rogen in such a role that was just the opposite of who he is normally. He's normally unfunny and I think such roles suit him the best. It was like showing us another side of him we didn't know was there all this time. What an amazing role and just watching him made me so happy. Thank Steven Spielberg.",8 "I was expecting much more of this movie with so much hype around it. The group of heroes does not have that much tension as it should have. I mean, the group consists of different species, but they are so generic, there is a ""guy from Earth, Han Solo style"", ""hot chick"", ""idiot muscle guy"", ""talking racoon"", and a ""tree"", who are trying to kill each other from start, but suddenly trust one another with their lives. No second thoughts, no tension. We are not introduced to any of the heroes and/or villains thoroughly - we can see that Peter's mother died when he was young... And then what? Apparently, there is more to the story of every character, but we get only partial information and only to the end of the movie. Then we have some blue villains and shooting starships, and all the generic sci-fi stuff, which is great... But this has been seen before (even the story with the powerful artifact and villain from another planet is not that uncommon, last time we have seen it, was Thor: Dark World, which was a just two movies before this in the series). So yeah, for this movie to be something more, the characters would have to be more believable. And I don't blame the actors, I blame the scriptwriters. Some of the scenes are frankly unbelievable and utter BS (the danceoff scene, etc) Some characters and sets resemble other movies (The Collector and others -> Hunger Games style). In my opinion, this movie fall into the same category as Upside Down and Jupiter Ascending - nice graphics and all, but just for the sake of itself.",4 "I liked ''Infinity war'' very much . In fact , it was a motivation for me to see the other superhero movies in order to understand the entire plot of the series . '' End Game ''is a total disaster . I was sitting in my chair waiting two hours for the movie to actually begin . While ''Infinity war '' was an almost non stop combat with mind blowing CGIs , ''Endgame'' is far from it . I am just wondering what's in the mind of those who gave between 7 - 10 stars .There are two posibilities : the lack of critical rationality or , perhaps, they are first class fans who swallow everything Marvel releases . I was being indulgent by offering 3 stars . And I think many of you will share my point of view .",3 "Wow! How this movie EVER was considered for an award blows my mind. The fact that it actually WON awards is beyond belief! The story is beyond absurd and poorly done. I had really looked forward to seeing it, but waited for it to be on HBO. I'm SO glad I did. If I had PAID to see this movie at the theater, I would be VERY unhappy! I LOVE sci-fi, and have since I was a child in the '50's. Even the ""B"" movies of those years are far superior to this one. I'd go into the weak script, but, considering the awards it has won, there are people out there who might want to see this. For me, it's right up there with the original Little Shop of Horrors, not worth the price of the film to create it. Boo, hiss!",2 "This is one of those movies that get all these awards. And it has big stars in it. It also makes you feel stupid. I didn't love this movie, most of the time i was checking my watch. I did like how the whole time it kept you guessing. You had no idea if the hero is crazy or if he is caught up with the scary government who have to keep things top secret. I heard that this is based on a true story and I feel bad for the guy who actually had to go through this. I feel really bad for his wife and kid. Poor kid. The hero sort of annoyed me too. I hated how he talked. I guess it makes him more humorous but it drove me crazy.",5 "The entire team of this movie has proved that it is possible to make a great movie without resorting to unnecessary violence, nudity, exotic foreign locales, forced comedy, overacting and all the other cheap gimmicks most filmmakers resort to these days - all u need is a simple story - top it up with tight direction, believable acting and good music - u have a masterpiece on hand. The story has been brought alive with some great cinematography and screenplay - the Calcutta of 1960s seems to come alive in this movie. The emotions have been treated with sensitivity and in a subtle manner - the passion in the relationship between Shekhar and Lolita are there - u can feel it, sense it - but it has beautifully portrayed in the right context of Bengali society of the 60s -.............must see",10 "Can anyone explain me why John is not killing the whole organisation at the beginning at the movie? I mean he easily just killed 100 or maybe 200 people. Only action without a story. Ist not possible to spoiler this movie, everyone knows how its end... thats really boring.",2 "The opening was very good. In the monitored environment, with a very ceremonial sense of death, it was a revolt against the institutionalized bureaucracy of the authorities. Time is very important. The time of suicide is the same as that of the disaster. Transition, another daily scene, is about to break. The most ironic scene is that men in the distance comfort women. Women say the nuclear power plant is beautiful. In slow motion, children run and play in the radioactive dust. Lies are just like this, beautiful and cruel.",9 "One thing that makes this show very unique to me is that the overarching plot is actually like amazing. Most anime and similar shoes I've seen are the opposite; they have great singular episodes but the story is lacking and barely even there. But for this show, the story is on full display, and it is so freaking amazing. Some of the individual episodes still lack a bit though, but there are a lot of 10 out of 10s for this show's episodes. It slows down a bit in the middle of the first part (1-25), and the second part just fumbles the ball when compared to the first part, it's still cool tho.",9 "Don't even bother to watch this movie, it is just an old man remembering his good ol' days of rock n' roll.. probably one of the most pointless movies i've ever watched.",2 "I was quite disappointed when I started to watch ""TVF Pitchers"" on youtube, as lots of dialogs are in Hindi. My Safari browser only gives me the transcript option, which doesn't make up for lacking subtitles. So I converted the transcript via BBEdit (with GREP) to an SRT file and watched the first 3 episodes with VLC player. Unluckily episodes 4 and 5 are only placed on the TVF site, but without transcripts ... Okay, now about contents: This series would get a 9 or 10 from me, if it was easier for a Non-Indian (German) to watch. The plot reminds me extremely of ""Silicon Valley"" though on some ""different levels"": It is NOT a sit-up-comedy but still quite humorous; it is not (yet?) placed in a Silicon Valley ambiance but delivers fascinating insights into Indian everyday circumstances; actually up to now it does NOT treat any actual software/hardware product but focuses on the process of selling a hypothetical & undefined idea; characters are less ""shiny"" than in SV but it's easier to identify with their ""nerdness""... All in all, it's fun to watch but hard to get at for a Non-Hindi speaker. How shall I ever understand dialogs in episodes 4 and 5 ?!?",8 This series attempts to recreate a classic family sitcom and drastically fails. Even by the standards back then this show would be wildly unsuccessful and never make it past one season. They better up their game and make the show less boring and of what has already been done. We don't need exact recreations of a classic sitcom find something new to put into it. There's a reason that style of sitcom went out of style. Overall such a disappointment,7 "The Boys excels in practically every aspect of filmmaking. The cinematography is amazing, acting is superb, storytelling is phenomenal, characters are memorable/relatable, and the VFX and costume designs are great. Kripke and Rogen succuessfully adapt Garth Ennis's comic series to the small screen. It's done in a way where it's not 100% comic book accurate but the liberties taken still manage to demonstrate the subject matter to near perfection. The only reason why I don't give The Boys a perfect score is due to the fact there are only 8 episodes. It could've (and should've) been longer. Despite its short length, The Boys is a must watch. It is so good that you don't even have to be a fan of the genre to enjoy it.",9 "I loved the show, the cast, and the music. Thank you for showing the real picture of Egypt not just sand and camels like what other movies used to show!! Moon Knight is FANTASTIC. Oscar Isaac is a star WOW.",8 "Well, this TV series should be beyond my expectation cause it was directed by Tim Burton, and I am a fan of his various films like Corpse Bride and Sleepy Hollow, but, after watching this, I even can not this was his TV show. Cause the atmophere and the environment he created can not surprise me at all, in fact, I am getting a little bored of seeing those around setting cause it's so familiar. And apart this, the actors, well, I only give 5. Not so scary, and not so funny, a little clumsy I think. Maybe I should not be so serious about this TV series, but, Tim Burton has been part of it, and I think he has the ability to make this more surprsing and more deep-thinking.",7 "As a superhero movie fan who grew up in the 1990s, I've seen a lot of ups and downs in the genre. I've seen when it's come into its footing, and I've also seen when it was struggling trying to find what can make the genre special. As the 2010s have brought some of the stronger and genre pushing films, Venom on the other hand brings forth the mediocrity I wish we abandoned in 2002. The film focuses on Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) as a hard boiled journalist who has reason to believe the Life Foundation is running illegal tests on humans with a alien being known as a ""symbiote"". After sneaking into the labs, one of the symbiote's attaches itself to Eddie and we realize that alien being is....Venom. The easiest thing to talk about is the first 40 minutes of the movie that every one agrees is the worst part of the movie and they are absolutely right. For a film that focuses on a head chewing alien, it spends entirely too long setting up the world around it in the most boring and uninteresting way possible. The movie forces you to care about Eddie and his ex-fiance, but there is NO chemistry between them whatsoever. Even when Venom attaches itself to Eddie, not only does it feel too little too late, it also is never as interesting as it should be. We never get to see Venom until almost an hour into this 110 minute movie and none of the action was worth the wait. The action is shoddily and dimly shot which is shocking given this was by a cinematographer I tend to like Matthew Libatique. It gets even worse when it gets into the finale which is a splash of CGI blobs being smashed together. There are many people who enjoyed Venom, and personally I'm not one of them. I never found Venom as an interesting anti-hero, but instead just a thing that exists for franchise money. The film obviously is missing 20 minutes of solid character development and the end credits sequence doesn't excite me for a sequel at all. It's not the worst movie I've seen this year, but its one that frustrates me given how far superhero movies have come for films like this to exist.",3 "I have been a very big fan of the X-Men and I have watched every one of them at least 4 to 5 times and I would watch them again. This one here was absolutely the worst one that I have ever watched in my entire life. These were once my super heroes and now I don't know ? I was lost at the start! I was confused at the end! But that's only my opinion. cool-pow",1 "Ready Player One is movie that had an unfair amount of expectations riding on it. It's based on a beloved book and directed by one of the most celebrated living directors of all time. With that in mind, it's pretty understandable why most people were underwhelmed by it. Book fans were disappointed by the drastic departures it took from the original story. Spielberg fans felt like they were being pandered to with cheap nostalgial. That said, if you take away these lofty standards, it's a perfectly fine movie. Certainly nowhere near as impressive as some of Spielberg's other films, but I think it was his best work in the past 10 years. Visually, it's absolutely breathtaking with some of the best CGI you'll see. The characters are pretty one-dimensional but likeable nonetheless. The dialogue is mostly good, but there are a few lines that are either just clunkily inserted exposition or a loosely related popculture reference. In terms of story, it works perfectly fine but as I mentioned, it's significantly different from the book. However, almost all the changes I think were necessary to make it a more cinematically pleasing experience since half of the book is just descriptions of people playing videogames. If you're expecting a faithful adaptation of the book or the second coming of Spielberg, you'll most likely be disappointed, but if you can set that aside, it's an enjoyable film.",5 I had waited till the end of the movie but nothing found interesting.,2 "This movie is profoundly terrible. You have been warned. Annihilation is at best a straight to video B movie. People will tell you that the visuals a great. No it is standard CGI fare People will tell you that the score is great. No it is completely forgetable The plot and characters are so stupid that you have to wonder how the screen play was approved. There were no deep scientific questions, there was no profound meaning. Basically the movie throws a bunch of incoherent nonsense at you and hopes you will be fooled into thinking it is profound.",2 "Confidently directed, dark, brooding, and packed with impressive action sequences and a complex story, The Dark Knight includes a career-defining turn from Heath Ledger as well as other Oscar worthy performances, TDK remains not only the best Batman movie, but comic book movie ever created.

I was really looking forward to it. But I was pretty unimpressed to be honest. I get the prerelease hype, but I can't see why people aren't disappointed by the lack of style of this director, this Gotham, this Batman. I've liked Nolan's non-Bat related movies, particularly Memento and The Prestige. I think he has talent, but it isn't really coming through in these movies. The Gotham of this movie, basically is Chicago. But not even the memorable aspects of Chicago. It's just the tall buildings of corporate Chicago in broad overcast daylight. It could have been just about any generic place. This is a mistake for a story that hinges so much on it's mythology. Even Batman Begins had a more distinctive Gotham City which of course is nothing compared to Tim Burton's menacing and stylish as Hell metropolis. I agree with misgivings over Bale as Batman. Only, I have the opposite opinion. I think he does fine as Bateman (aka Bruce Wayne), and is somewhat laughable as Batman. The gravelly voice had me smirking a few times. They have actually added a lot of bass to the voice of Batman. Go back and listen to how he says ""Here!"" in the original Batman Begins ads. It is distinctly higher and softer than the voice you get in the two movies. In fact that sound of that line changes in each of the trailers for Batman Begins. Does Gary Oldman wonder why he is in this movie? There is nothing about the character he is playing that particularly requires his talent as an actor. Same goes with Michael Caine, although I do like him, more-so in the first movie. I feel like they are both being underused in their scenes. I'll throw Morgan Freeman in on this as well. They are phoning in their performances with no complaints from their director. Kudos to Paul Giamatti as the Joker, though. He did an excellent job. Honestly I liked Heath Ledger's angle on the character, where it was allowed, but The Dark Knight's rating will not really allow for the character he was trying to give us, and as a result, I don't think it worked. I think Jack Nicholson gave a much more menacing character to be quite honest. It was a more tongue-in-cheek performance of course, but I think that actually worked in the favor of that particular character's menace. Jack didn't get to blow up buildings or do nearly as much psychotic stuff, though he had his share, and what he did, I think he did more effectively. I think this is more the director's fault, and the script's fault than it is Ledger's. Even if you ignore all that, the most important flaw to me was simply the messy jumble of a story. I felt like I saw two movies mixed together. The editing was awful. Finally, does anyone else find it odd that a movie about Batman doesn't have a single bat in it? To most, apparently, that isn't a major thing. To me it is indicative of the lack of consideration of the mythology apparent throughout this gazallion dollar franchise.",4 "It's easy to dismiss RPO the movie, it's a lighthearted and predictable adventure aimed for families with a sprinkle of oddities and hard sci fi concepts here and there but never going very deep. But that's ok because the movie does not aim for high art but for pure entertainment, and it delivers. It's funny all those book fans giving crap to the movie but forgetting completely that was Ernest Cline himself that adapted his story to the screen! And I'm glad they changed it because as a movie a faithful translation of the book would be terrible, there is still a lot of telling and explaining to the audience, which is often a bit annoying but thankfully not very long, the many pop culture references are still here but organically used both as a world building tool or as plot devices that blend with the narrative and not become more important than the movie itself and only for that alone I must say this is a sucessful adaptation even if not a perfect package. And If you are invested in the universe you can still read the book and fill the gaps the movie left, they compliment each other. The characters are very much archetypes, but still charming enough to invest in their journey, there's a certain naiveness that makes Ready Player One feel like an 80's movie made with today's technologies and sensibilities, i was surprised that Spielberg, at the age of 71, could still speak to a modern audience like this although the good old men still comes out with a slightly patronizing but valid message ""kids, don't waste too much time in the virtual world"" because as older people (I'm 45) we know that this is some time we'll never get back.",6 "Ignoring books which I as a long long time fan of the series (not even a half year since first book was published) CANNOT FORGIVE. Terrible visual effects. It got slightly better in second season. Changing story lines on a whim. Even those that doesn't seem to bear importance in first books but WILL be important in later books/seasons. This feels like producers, writers, managements in general (?) didnt bothered to read whole masterpiece of books about Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer and prodigal Cirilla and are writing it on the knee on the go book by book. Terrible visual effects. Like really really terrible. Golden Dragon was a pinnacle of it Surprisingly good acting in most of the cases. Especially Cavil surprised me despite the fact that Geralt was described as exact opposite to Cavil appearance of beefed up Superman and Triss actress was really convincing despite the backlash she got from audience (despite the huge success of Witcher games, Triss in books wasnt described as redhaired). Her acting was great. Few terrible actor choices whose characters description was clearly stated as exact opposite in the books but at same time ignoring original dark skinned characters ? WHY ignore this ? Why cast a dark skinned actress as character who is described literally as pale as snow and like a twin to certain main female protagonist who was cast by white actress ? I DONT UNDERSTAND who was calling shots here but he/she should have been fired on spot for this. Something similar happened to some aspects of character developments in case of most minor characters but I guess this can be forgiven as they didnt appear in following books at all. These to aspects totally ruined the show in my opinion despite surprisingly good work on side of most of the actors. Same happened in second season. To sum it up : Books are masterpiece, show is not even close but may be entertaining for people who didnt had the honor to read the books yet. For those who read them this might be worth watching once but never come back to it.",2 "I read the raving reviews, then I watched the trailer and thought this isn't for me. But I was still curious after the great ratings on both IMDB and RT. ...And I just finished watching it. Oh, my. I think I'm living in the hipster-verse, where we absolutely need a movie like this to make a big, flashy statement of superficial hipster quotes: ""love is love"" and ""please accept your children for who they are"" and my all-time favourite: ""be kind, you don't know what the other person is going through"". I think the writers took some tik-tok messages, added some kung-fu moves, and made a 2 hour film. I'd prefer the 1 min tik-tok messages any day, they'll save me time. The acting is great of course (thus the 3 stars, one for each protagonist), but the scenario, writing, concept is pure cringy crap. But I get why all the great reviews and why probably this movie will win Oscar awards: because actual good american movies are dead. It seems now movies & critics reviews are made by people who are so out of sync with their emotions and relationships to others, they need to state the obvious, and claim they made art out of this. Which reminds me of an ""artist"" who sold his invisible statue for 18,000. That's exactly how I feel about this movie. Like I spend my time to watch nothingness.",3 "I cannot believe that people rented Fargo because it was a black comedy and expected Jim Carrey type laughs from it. If you look up the definition of black comedy, you'll see that its not supposed to be ""ha ha"" funny. Its a cutting study of human nature, showing that people will get greedy for no reason and, kill others with only the slightest provocation. And it happened!!!!!!!! !! !!!!!! The reason Fargo is a great movie, (maybe the best film of the 90's) is BECAUSE its based on a true story!! If you went into it not knowing that fact or not caring, then it would not mean much to you after you saw it. I'll admit that if it were not a true story, it would be a very uninteresting movie. But it IS, and thats the essence of it. I had a friend tell me that he had no problem solving the mystery long before then end. ""IT WASN'T A WHO-DUNIT MOVIE!!"" I screamed at him. He obviously missed the entire point of the film, and so did a lot of the other people who commented on it here. If you watch a lot of Temptation Island, Dawson's Creek or re-runs of Dukes of Hazzard, then think twice before you rent Fargo. I promise it will not make any more sense to you than reading a physics manual. 8)",10 "As expected ""Barbie"" is A lot of happy fun! 💕 Greta Gerwig is a director I've really come to appreciate & LOVE. Greta is one of the most wholesome filmmakers working today. ""Lady bird"" is my favourite coming of age story in film and similarly, I have to say right off the bat-this film is ridiculously hilarious. Tongue and cheek? Sure. Just exceptionally written characters also. The quirks between Margot Robbie (Barbie) & Ryan Gosling (Ken) are just magic together on screen. Margot is probably the only person to have played ""Barbie"" as she is so perfect in the role with everything she does. Mr Gosling (KEN) is eating up all the screen time and will also have you gasping for air at some of his one liners and facial expressions. I should mention that Issa Rae & America Ferrera are just so awesome a-swell in this world. Now! Having grown up in the 90s and seeing how popular the toys were, I was apart of the ""Barbie"" crazed era in primary school. It's really cool knowing everyone has another summer blockbuster coming that they can be truely excited about. Really hope that everyone can give ""Barbie"" a chance, because it has a lot of HEART. Greta Gerwig's ""Barbie"" is nothing more then a delightful trip down memory lane, filled with what felt like a stellar cast and production value. Furthermore this film was filled with outstanding characters, dance choreography and musical numbers.",10 "Overly long...could have easily had 30 minutes cut...and I would have given it a 7 at 2 hours of length. The first 90 minutes a bit slow in several parts (looking at my watch, shifting in my seat), but then it picked up. Overall, I would characterize it as a slower version of ""The Matrix."" The visual effects were stunning, the premise quite creative, the acting and direction excellent, and it likely employed enough CGI people to populate a small city. Some parts, however, were very hard to follow, esp. in the second half, although if you did pay attention you can get most of it. The absolute adulation it's getting is--and an overall number 3 on Top 250 IMDb.com--just inSANE! I think this is just a LOT of people wanting to be seen as cool and hip. But really folks...I enjoyed ""Toy Story 3"" more. I must give the weightlessness special effect special mention along with a fight scene with shifting gravity. Nicely done... All-in-all, there are worse ways to spend 2.5 hours...listening to an Obama speech, for example... See it soon if you want to be the first one on your block, but keep your expectations within reason and you won't be terribly disappointed.",6 "I'm genuinely baffled this film won not only best foreign film, best directing and best screenwriting, but also Best Picture (historically reserved for American films only). Of all the films to break the barrier and be the first, they chose THIS? When will all this self loathing end? I guess never because as long as humans are alive there will always be hordes of abysmally depressed people who think the more they hate humanity and the ways of the world they more self righteous they'll feel about ""calling it out"". What a joke. While the film is extremely well made its story is soulless and not as intelligent of a critique of capitalism, egalitarianism, and meritocracy as the snobs make it seem. At this point it's the ultimate cliche. It play more like a weak melodrama/soft noir movie. It's just a weird film that meanders and is only occasionally entertaining. Some good humor and interesting situations that hold you in brief suspense. Other than that the only interesting parts are seeing Korean culture in cinema. I'd love to visit some time. But this movie is trash. The overall message of the movie is life sucks, so why even try? It amazes me that the director can even reconcile the conflict within himself. I'm sure he tried VERY hard to make this a great movie, as he does with all his films. He tried so hard he even won 3 Oscar's with this one. He worked very hard for decades to gain the knowledge and skills to be able to pull this off and I know for a fact it's made him rich. Does he hate his own success? Should he have not ever tried and just remained a dreamer? Should he never have strove to be a great director? If he really feels this way about success and achievement he never should have accepted that Oscar. He should donate all his money to charity and live a destitute life because hey, life sucks for so many people, so why even try? Give me a break. The entire premise of the movie is JOKE. How immature and sad one must be to love this movie. 2 hours of life just wasted.",5 "Pros: I very much enjoyed the nostalgia I experienced in this movie. Quite the concept and executed well. The movie definitely thrives on its pop culture references and assumption of viewers knowledge of video games, but if that applies to you, then it's an easy movie to enjoy. The plot is simple enough and it's easy to follow so you can just have fun watching it. Personally I had a lot of fun watching this movie, probably because I'm easily entertained, but the point still stands that it was a nostalgic thrill ride that made me remember why I loved video games growing up. Perfect for the kid inside everyone. Cons: The characters did seem shallow and we were automatically supposed to care about the Asian characters without much of an emotional attachment when they were introduced in the real world. The villains are cut and paste corporate baddies who want the same thing as every other movie, money and power. Last thing: Plot is a bit too simple. The clues that Wade and co. figure out are very simple and seem like things that more than one person should've figured out. And for IOI, they have a full team of analysts and scientists and they were only able to figure out one thing and do it too late. The movie makes everyone in the world seem kinda stupid besides one group of 5 people. At one point, one character says he had invested 10 years in his character. It makes no sense that not a single person would figure out Halladay's challenge within that period of time.! Bottom line: great summer movie to watch with your buds or family to have fun with. Don't take it too seriously if you read the book, or else you'll waste your time from what I've heard. I would definitely watch again just to spot some more Easter eggs as this movie is packed full of them.",6 "The leading role Enola who is performed by Millie Brown is an awkward existing. The Holmes girl who is supposed to be really genius has become phony. Henry Cavill, Sam Claflin, Helena, and Frances are absolutely great (as always) in this movie.",4 "Such a silly, beautiful, wonderful movie! This is truly a cinematic masterpiece. It has heart, soul, and lots of laughs. I've seen it twice so far and it honestly gets better with each watch. I'm looking forward to owning it when it comes out for purchase as well. This will definitely be one I watch a lot. Ryan Gosling's Ken is everything, and he's absolutely perfect. This entire movie is perfect. I don't want to say too much and spoil anything for those that haven't seen it yet, so just go ahead and do yourself a favor and go see it. What are you waiting for? P. S. Isn't not ""sexist"" it's making a point, and people that have a problem with what it's saying should probably ask themselves why and look inwards.",10 I honestly don't get the hype. It's a decent show that I would recommend to someone who just started watching anime. It's nothing I personally would watch because I know that there are more shows which are far more unique.

Actually there's no reason why this couldn't have been a fair movie. It has it's funny moments, a good cast and an ok story but it just feels badly put together and badly directed. Why is Golem directing movies anyway. This just feels like a waste of a talented cast and the whole venom/Hardy partnership. You will like or dislike this depending on how far progressed your ADHD is.",4 "I was really looking forward this movie and my expectations were quite high actually so I was a bit scared to be disappointed but that wasn't the case at all. The movie is so funny, cute and smart at the same time, Meg does a wonderful job portraying Barbie's character, she was the perfect cast for the part. Ken was also really funny, plus the relationship of a mother and daughter was a really nice touch. I sincerely hope more man can see this movie so maybe they can understand a little bit more how difficult it is to be a woman in this modern world and can be a bit more kind towards the woman's in their lives. Highly recommended. Definitely a new favorite.",10 "The writing is terrible! They have all these great characters to work with and it's very boring. Im only watching because it is part of the MCU but it takes me a long time to watch because i keep falling asleep. Wandavision was a million times better than this garbage. Zemo is by far the best character and steals the screen every time but everything else is just bad.",2 "The cast was great and the cinematography was good, but I hated two major things about it. First, the British actors speeking with their British accents, it felt a lot more like a documentary reenactment and didn't put the viewer in an authentic atmosphere (I can't imagine Ukranians speeking with a perfect British accent). Second, the main explosion and meltdown scenes were supposed to be spectacular, they looked like a low budget production work. The potential was high and my expectations were even higher, but i was disappointed after watching it.",5 "No character development, no solid storyline, this should have been a layup for Nolan. Compare this movie to 1917 ...thats a well done war movie. This ""movie""....seems to celebrate cowardice and incompetence. Acting as medics to skip the line to get out ahead of your supposed ""mates"" ...come on.",1 """Superoverrated"" would be more appropriate. Now, before everyone leaps to the defensive fence and starts abolishing my opinion, comedy is subjective. Superbad, in all its hormonal teen angst, will more than likely appeal to its target demographic of heterosexual males. That's not to say no one else can enjoy it, that's just the primary audience. I don't fit into that classification, which is why for most of the runtime, I found myself rarely relating to these buffoons. Two high school seniors are drifting apart as they continue on with their education and lives, to which they plan to have one booze-soaked night of boyish behaviour so that they can retain their friendship. Sex, drugs and alcohol. The three definitive elements found in most male-orientated teen comedies that have seen a popular rise ever since a certain pie got penetrated ('American Pie' if you didn't know...). However, what makes this one slightly more approachable is the cleverly executed arc that develops from this tricky friendship. When one friend doesn't get into further education, but the other friend does, it is sure to cause a rift. Seth and Evan present that scenario with a hint of humanism. When they're not attempting to steal alcohol or pressuring each other to illegally purchase liqueur, their bond can be rather expressive. Then incomes Fogell ""McLovin"" with his ridiculously amateur fake ID, to which the narrative seemingly splits apart and loses focus. A sub-plot involving two police officers (probably the funnier storyline...) and showing ""McLovin"" that cops can be fun, boisterously takes over the main plot. The spiky friendship between Seth and Evan dissipates and the supposedly infamous Rogen/Goldberg script nosedives into ""comedy"". As usual, I counted the amount of times I laughed, sniggered or smiled at the onscreen hilarity. You ready? Twice. Mostly from Hader's performance. But again, I have to reiterate, comedy is subjective and this type of hilarity doesn't work for me. What probably helped in my resistance to Superbad was the inclusion of Jonah Hill, an actor that I've never admired or even wanted to watch. As per usual, shouting every line of profanity in a monotonous tone and generally having a face that looks like a slapped bottom. Every time he was on screen, his character just made me sweat. No idea why, but I was uncomfortable with Seth as a character. The hyperbolic yearning for the female anatomy is never funny and is the complete opposite to relatable. Cera doesn't get off lightly either with his usual awkward persona. The constant barrage of camera shots that explicitly stares at female breasts is borderline objectification. Puberty is a wonderful thing, but so is subtlety. Mottola may have failed to grasp that on the odd occasion. And do not even get me started on Mintz-Plasse, otherwise we will be here all day. The most effective aspect to this comedy, aside from the infrequent witty lines of dialogue that everyone loves to quote, would be the final fifteen minutes. A surprisingly poetic representation of overcoming separation anxiety and that sudden click into adulthood. Mall escalators, you just saved Superbad from being, well, super bad. For the most part, when it's not focussing of sex jokes, the story is well formed and delivers some genuine moments of school life. But unfortunately it contains three lead actors who I generally dislike, mostly non-relatable scenarios and comedy that mostly misses for me. So whilst it didn't work for me personally, I can appreciate it is a well-made film that others have embraced. Phew, this review felt like presenting a defence case!",6 "Mission Impossible: Fallout is the 6th movie in the Mission Impossible franchise starting the one and only Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise is main focus of this movie and all of the other Mission Impossible movies. He is the driving awesome force that brings his enemies to their knees. And this movie is no different. Tom Cruise acting in this movie is strong and true to Ethan Hunt I'm past movies. And again Cruise does all his own stunts in the film and this blows the movie out of the water. This lets the camera not have to cut away or shake when action starts with Cruise. They don't have to hid the stunt doubles face because their is not stunt double just Cruise. This is the main selling point of the film and the main reason I went to see if. And it paid off. This movie is packed with some of the best action I have seen in years. Every single action scene felt strong and quick and fluid. Amazing action. Where the movie has some flaws is with the story. This is a generic save the world from terrorists plot we have seen a hundred times. The only thing that keeps it from becoming to stail though is the clever spy gadgets and tricks that are often used in the movie. This often add originality to an other wise unoriginal story. This sounds like a large gripe but for this movie it really isn't. Because of the amazing action and not worrying about politics and governments like most movies do these days. But just sticking to the action and Tom Cruise's adventure has Ethan Hunt, the movie keeps it fresh all the way through. Overall, Mission Impossible Fallout is great (8). It may have a weak story at times but makes up for it through the best action scenes I have seen in a movie in years. Highly recommend for action fans and fans of the movies before in the series.",6 "With each of the characters being written to both have complete amnesia and to have flashbacks about the previous happening of the world created makes for complete choas for the timeline and narrative of this.

That number of live-action superhero TV shows has increased dramatically with the overwhelming popularity of the MCU films. Of course, this is all subjective as to which ones are better or worse and it's all just a matter of opinion. And so, in my humble opinion, Netflix's DareDevil is THE BEST live-action superhero TV show that has ever graced our television screens. The characters and stories are unique yet also very true to the source material. The action is amazing and the dilemmas that the characters face feel real and not overly cheesy or forced. In short, this show has breathed new life into an overdone category of TV shows and the fact that it was canceled is beyond devastating. I can only hope that some network head is smart enough to take realize what we the people want and bring us back our DareDevil!",9 "Waste of 2 hours.

It's very very sugar coated gore, comedy horror, supernatural stuff. Only Good thing is: Jenna Ortega Acting. She literally brought the Wednesday character to life. I think no one can possibly match her. They she stayed in character, where normal people normally react is outstanding, never seen before. I gave 6 Star because of her.

Even in The Godfather there were a few scenes here and there that were light and slightly amusing. You get none of that here. Everything here is black. I also think that this a little bit too long.

I'd really not recommend this show, just think twice before bing watching this show.",3 "The ""Spider-Man 2"" movie is just a shade better than the first - which, in series films, is a cause for tremendous celebration. Happily, producers were able to pay director Sam Raimi and his main cast however many millions of dollars they needed... Also, the first film's ""special effects"" (however well done) seemed too startlingly change from live action to animation. This is still fairly obvious, but done much more smoothly; and, the ""Dr. Octopus"" villain costume is a cinematic success. Like they say, ""(special effects director John) Frazier is especially effective (along with over a hundred helpers)."" Allowing for a comic book aficionado to be a little too critical, it does seem like an extraordinary amount of time is spent on illustrating the ""downtrodden"" life of ""Peter Parker"" (which is the main plot, I know, but it's a very large chunk of the movie). And, although Tobey Maguire (as Peter Parker) is wonderful in the role, he and Kirsten Dunst (as Mary Jane Watson) aren't going to be able to convincingly play ""Peter"" and ""M.J."" as ""teenagers in love"" much longer. It will be interesting to see how producers continue this relationship, which seems to be, herein, necessary for ""Spider-Man"" to remain fully powerful. Alfred Molina (as Otto Octavius) rises to the challenge of playing the ""visual effects""-enhanced villain role. Handsome ""best friend"" James Franco (as Harry Osborn) returns, to hint at becoming the new ""Green Goblin""; as in the first film, the actor doesn't seem to be used to his potential (although, it looks like he will get a chance to put on a costume in the next film). My ""No-Prize Awards"" winners include: Elyse Dinh for playing the ""friendly neighborhood Spider-Man"" theme song, Rosemary Harris for being ""Aunt May"", Hal Sparks for being so funny, and Stan Lee for believing in Super-Heroes. ******** Spider-Man 2 (2004) Sam Raimi ~ Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Alfred Molina",8 "I rarely write reviews, but just because the 'critics' in Belgium (and worldwide) were unanimously (ridiculously) enthusiastic I just feel the moral obligation of putting people back on their feet. They made it feel like the movie of the century, it felt like the 'Jurassic Park' of space movies... And as a die-hard sci-fi lover I really wanted to love this film, but sadly enough it now feels as cheap marketing gibberish. The graphics and audio are very good. Obviously. But just like Transformers: amazing cgi can't make up for a bàd movie. The story and whole movie actually failed me on every possible level. Without going into some pretty obvious mistakes, the story simply doesn't connect, it doesn't grow on me. It feels like just a chain of events with very simple/flat dialogs and no real build-up or climaxes. It's short, it's simple. Not only that, but it's actually a very sad overstatement to say 'this one of the most realistic space movies out there' as I'm constantly trying NOT to point out some big flaws to my wife so she would not completely be disappointed. That said, I kind of like Bullock in most of her movies. A nice unpretentious 'simple girl' can only score in my opinion, but my wife and I were constantly annoyed with her clumsiness, lack of 'hurry' (even while breathing co²), lack of courage, lack of education as an astronaut and so forth... But I guess that's a bad character/script in stead of a bad actress. She felt to me like what Jaden Smith does to most of his recent movies (which Is why i decided never to waste my time on him again). Anything but award-winning if you ask me :-/ But who am I. Watch the movie because society forces you, I don't care, but this is the last time I rely on IMDb ratings and 'real' Movie critics. Now it has 8.8, but in a year it will be down to 7.5, mark my words.",1 "First of all, I enjoyed the movie tremendously, as I was in my early 20s when this all went down. Argo is a great telling of a small piece of a much larger mosaic. I'm grateful for the Canadian government's decisive actions at a time when these kinds of decisions could have horrific consequences for those making them. The scenes and period touches were so well done the effect was like a mental time-capsule for myself and others of similar age who've seen the movie. Well done Mr Affleck. On a personal note, I'm saddened that the sacrifices of my friends and co-workers on the ill- fated rescue mission authorized by President Carter didn't rate a mention. Hollywood doesn't deal well with facts that conflict with their simplistic view of the world. Someday I hope their story will be told.",7 "A serie with basic content about life, good and evil, easy philosophy, typical metaphors, very slow dialogues and sequences, and so far... Just recommended for conformist viewers or as a piped music to take a nap. The more rating the more boring the chapter is.",2 """Spider-Man 2"" is a very rare thing, a sequel to an outstanding film that far surpasses that film. This film does everything right. It takes all of the best elements of its predecessor and expands on them. Tobey Maguire once again nails it as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. His character is given great depth, and it was brilliant the way they dealt with the split personalities of Peter Parker and Spider-Man. The relationship between Peter Parker and Mary Jane is further explored in this one. Alfred Molina as Doctor Octavius makes for one of the best villains ever in a superhero movie. As a villain, he is very threatening with his deadly mechanical tentacles, but at the same time, he's a character you really feel for. The story is very compelling and dramatic. Peter decides to quit being Spider-Man and tries to live a normal life, and meanwhile, Mary Jane is going to get married. However, when Mary Jane is in trouble at the hands of Doc Ock, he realizes that Spider-Man is his true calling. The action scenes are truly magnificent. They are expertly directed, thrilling, and truly edge-of-your-seat. The stand-out, of course, is the fight on the train between Spider-Man and Doc Ock. So exhilarating and flawlessly orchestrated, it may well be the greatest action scene ever in a superhero movie. The supporting cast is once again stellar, as is the soundtrack. You also gotta love the message that sometimes you have to make sacrifices to do what is right. The first film still has a special place in my heart, but this film outdoes it in pretty much every way. It has a better villain, a more mature storyline, and action sequences even more enthralling than before. A must-see movie and one of the best sequels and superhero films of all time. RATING: A+",10 "It is hard for me to justify 4 out of 10 for this movie. I thought part one was refreshing and different from other superhero movies. However, this one felt forced at everything that part one excelled at. I thought there was just too much music, visuals reminded me of transformers, and story-telling was just that story-telling. It also felt like they tried cramming in too many characters' and their back stories. You get Yondu, Mantis, Nebula, Ego. I would advise waiting for DVD.",4 "I apologize to all the hard working employees of this show - 5 episodes in, I am doing chores around the house since the show allows it. Not a single scene made me watch this show with some interest, I am truly not lying when I say that NOTHING happens, the characters are dull, the actors are completely miscasted. I am starting to think that GoT set the bar so high, that none of the shows that follow will ever be near it. Then why bother at all creating it? The 10&9 reviews really make me cringe, people expect so little from Tv shows nowadays. As long as you have some medieval costumes and a couple of dragons, one would rate anything high, right? I did watch it for the sake of GoT but it is nowhere near it.",4 "Another group of actors Hollywood is trying to force on us. Zendaya sucks at everything she does, just a face they can put in front of a camera to resemble a 12 year old. Tom is lackluster too, they tried to sell their relationship and mediocre careers too much before this film. DO AWAY WITH ZENDAYA.",2 "It's somewhat different from the cliche we usually expect in superhero films. In a good way. Not what I was expecting, but it was good. Excellent acting performance from Oscar Isaac. The detail in the costumes, the amazing backstory and depth of the characters, the amazingly interesting relationship between Mark and his alters. Truly an incredible experience.",8 "I sat through the first half hour of this and didn't laugh once, there were no jokes or any remotely funny parts. Just some awkward jew jokes that weren't funny, but maybe when faulty towers or allo allo covered these back in the 70s and 80s. It was like watching a school play you HAD to sit through because your kid was in it, dialogue was AS bad. Funniest part of this was when, as a laugh, they awarded it an Oscar. I know he's young but the main actor's accent was awful. Flitting between vaguely Austrian and posh English. He's supposed to be a professional actor. The director playing Hitler was just over-indulgent. He can't really act, or isn't particularly funny. I think Prince Harry carried off the role better!",1 Good acting. Great drama. It is horrifying to know that it really happened. What were the Russians thinking? Very scary to know that Japan's Fukushima also came so close to a nuclear disaster after the earthquake. Three Mile Island disaster should have been the wake up call for the whole world. We need more movies like this in order to save the mankind.,9 "The movie just played in about 10 minutes (or 5 minutes story) and you've already feel cheated. The big guy of Green Mile easily subdued by somebody, and the plutonium balls, that freaking multi million dollars' plutonium cores was practically given away. At first I had a doubt when they ignore the plutonium. The cores, watch out the cores.. (I warned it in my mind), but then I thought it was Ethan's strategy to further track the enemy (the apostles). Turned out later (after next 5-10 minutes movie played), it really was slipped to enemy's hand. WTF? That was so dumb. Then the obvious evil agent, who killed every eye-witnesses of one of thr main fugitive (John Lark), nobody seemeed to suspect him (except all this dumb movie viewers, of course, that's so predictable given how dumb this movie is). I just about 20 minutes into movie, and this is suck. very badly written plot. If this was an MI team training, maybe I would pass those all cliched but for those experienced, skilled, veteran MI team, nothing those dumb cliches would ever be happened.",2 "mediocre acting overuse of dialog to explain the back-story and fake/contrived science. It's like whoever wrote the script is some ""enlightened meta-philosopher"" (RE: psychedelic substance user)with an overgeneralized and topical understanding of astrophysics. Most people that have enjoyment studying astrophysics will be horribly annoyed watching a bunch of actors blabbering and playing ""experts""...if you know a little about astrophysics you will find it cringe-worthy. Matthew McConaughey was mis-cast; he doesn't have a believable character in this one...same with Hathaway. They both come across as if they don't even believe the sincerity of their own lines - the dialog is very weird and almost forced at times, especially with bizarre out-of-place technical and/or scientific jargon that would never be brought up among expert colleagues (i.e. Nolan overusing dialog to inform the ""dumb"" audience about the background ""science"") It's less of a story, and more of a writer trying to force-feed their own gnarly philosophies to whom they must deem a dull and uninformed audience. It could have been a lot more, but Nolan chose to sit on the fence as far as what type of sci-fi it would be, whether fantastical or ""realistic"". So where's all the hype from? The liberal media that can't help but interject politics into everything...the idea of an Earth uninhabitable conforms with their world-views about climate change, so they completely overlook the actual film itself. Overall very boring... If you're looking for Star Wars, Star Trek, Serenity, etc...look elsewhere...If you're looking for a recent watchable sci-fi; I'm usually not a fan of Tom Cruise's movies, but his last sci-fi, ""Edge of Tomorrow"" wasn't half bad...at least better than Oblivion.",6 "I love a good murder mystery with a twist, which this provides; but what i didn't expect were the depressing story lines that hit home as a mom. This is HEAVY. I'll be watching romcoms for the next few weeks...",7 "Honestly, I don't know what I was expecting when I went to an advance screening of this in Edmonton Alberta Canada at South Edmonton Common cinemas last night. I had heard NO ""buzz"" about this movie at all, even from my teenage son, who considers it his mission in life to try and know more than me when it comes to movies, music and games... The movie, honestly, was the single worst movie of modern times and recent memory that I have ever seen or been subjected to. It is one of the first screenings that I have physically had to restrain myself from walking out on within the first 20 minutes. Some of the extended school hallway ""dialogue"" scenes in this movie will leave you wanting to take your drink straw to your ear drums and fill your eye sockets with popcorn. They seem to go on for a week and a half, then you wake up, and realize it's still going on. I hear that the writers of this movie started to write it when they were 14 years-old. My take on this is that they had older brothers who were 14 years-old, and started writing it when they were about 11, imagining all the ""cool"" things their older brothers were dreaming that 17 year-olds did ""at parties""... And considering it is rated 18A in Canada, I don't think many under the age of 18 are going to be seeing this movie. Which just may save a generation of youth. In short I told my son that if he listens to anyone over the age of 13 who advises him to go see this movie, or heave forbid, that it's a good movie, he will never trust an adult again in his life. The physical pat down and wanding with a metal detector I had to endure to get in to make sure I didn't pirate this 'leet movie on my cell phone in 10 second chunks, was one of the most insane pre-screening experiences of my life, and being one who goes to quite a few advance screenings, this was truly over the top, even for Sony. And after the confiscation of all cell phones, even ones without a camera, the security guard hired to watch us all throughout the movie with his night vision gear, then proceeded to talk on his cell phone in the theater about four times throughout the screening... nice...",1 "This was one of the worst films I have seen in recent memory. It was a human interest tale with no soul. The plot was deeply flawed. How can you have a biopic with a deeply flawed plot? I don't know but somehow this movie managed to make no sense. Russel Crowe plays Nash the way he plays every other character. This character works as a gladiator, not as mathematician. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate this movie because of any glaring factual errors, although I have been told there are many. No, this is a work of fiction, and it fails as such. There is nothing to connect to on a human level in this film, except Jennifer Connely, but one strong performance cannot save the bad script and uninspired direction. Avoid this film if any sort of internal consistency or humanity are important to you in film.",2 "Karan Johar, Shahrukh Khan and Bollywood a combo that c'd take every delusional theme and ridiculous filming to the heights of mediocrity which w'd be lauded by most of India who have no sense of good cinema. lucky i had my new android mobile in the theater. so killed time fiddling it. Else i would have been a psychic by now. I even got a compliment from the person sitting behind me. ""How can you play with your mobile when such a great movie is running"". to which i said""cant be bothered about this trash"". and he gave me the compliment "" your either heartless or emotionally dry"". My dear friends of good cinema, please keep away as it doesn't get more delusional than MNIK. and for those who say that this is khans best role to date, all i can say is it certainly not his worst, but surely w'd qualify for his top 5 worst films.",1 """Black Panther"" may be the most overrated movie of my lifetime. I'm truly shocked that people thought this movie deserved the Oscar for Best Picture. About half way through the movie I was seriously trying to figure out if it was an unfunny comedy or a failed parody of some kind. Correct me if I'm wrong but this may be the first movie in history that after tons of murder and mayhem the hero actually agrees with the villain. Wow, this movie actually sides with the bad guy (but not his methods, of course). Yikes. Shame on Disney.",2 "That's Right Samuel l.

I kept expecting a punch line, then the scene was over. Some of the humor was almost too cliche, that wasn't really funny. They should have had Noah Taylor play Adolf Hitler, see tv Series ""Preacher."" All through the movie I kept thinking, this was something Wes Anderson should have done. After watching ""Moonrise Kingdom,"" I was hoping Jojo Rabbit was going to be as funny, witty, serious, charming, and delightful, but it wasn't. There were plenty of opportunities to expand the supporting characters with more humor. Most of the supporting cast was mute, where there was again missed opportunity to make this movie stick. The serious moments toward the end were good, but it didn't do the first 3/4 of the movie justice. The kids who played their roles did a great job, but I feel the lead role of Jojo's script was lacking. Either too much fear, or not enough depth to his character. His mother's script and role just didn't fit into any of that, which threw off his character. Sam Rockwell as the Captain, his role was by far the best, and made the whole movie. The choice in music was not a good match and lessened it to a degree of just being all over the place and didn't fit. I wanted to enjoy this movie, but all I could think of was that it fell flat, and was overall disappointed.",6 It was quite obvious that the makers of the film would have wanted to show how the British troops were taken prisoners by the Germans or being killed on the boats to Britain!,1 "Not funny. Not romantic. I got the impression it counted on just the star power of Aniston and Sandler, but they had no chemistry and had a terrible plot to work with. I'm very easy to please, Will see any comedy or rom-com. I like both Aniston and Sandler, so a 2/10 tells you how bad this was.",2 "This has to be among the worst films I've seen featuring one of my all time favourite actors;DiCaprio. Whom all together gave a lack-lustre just plain boring performance. This film is simply a waste of time. It centres around a group of creeps led by upcoming wall street big-shot Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio). Who thrive conning white-collar's out of their money until the government catches on to their scams and the ploy inevitably crashes and burns. The main problem I had with this movie surprisingly was not its glorifying of terrible human behaviour, greed, drugs and full-throttle misogyny throughout (which I did have a problem with), but the fact that it was all pointless, and continuously depicts the the same crap over and over; something that gets very old. Very fast. It is possible to show debauchery and distasteful conduct in context and with a POINT (I', not some crazy who can't bear to see nudity or cringes at the sound of profanity). But this movie is deprived of anything close to a message or even a dialogue trying to give any form of meaning whatsoever. It seems to show these things just to shock or for cheap laughs (I didn't laugh. But had I they would've been incredibly cheap.). And that is what I have a problem with, the movie glorifying these things for what seems like no reason, or for a reason the makers failed miserably to get across, it just makes the film itself seem rampant, immature and stupid. Another huge problem with this film is the fact that it constantly barrages you with this debauchery brought about by DiCaprio and his cohorts, but never gives it any real substance, no blowback, no depth to it nothing (as I've already said) this in turn makes the characters look like exactly what everyone in this movie seems to be: immoral scum. None of the characters have any redeeming qualities whatsoever, they are all creepy greedy sexist pricks with nothing to show for. And this is where the movie falls ultimately flat. Its not a ""love to hate"" relationship between the characters and the viewer, it is a simple loathing of pretty much every cardboard cut-out in this terrible film, the writing is awful, almost seeming like they cut corners on purpose to avoid giving any characters or acts any depth or meat at all. Overall its an immature film that Hollywood will eat-up. Ridden with dick-jokes and the grade of humour that appeals to most teenage boys. Its not quite boring, but flatlines of anything memorable throughout. Maybe there was some sort of thought and effort originally put into this movie as shown by all the A-listers who appear. But all this movie offers is a waste of time, a waste of effort (if there were any), a waste of talent and a waste of money. Its simply not funny and will leave anyone above the average 7th grader maturity level feeling like they have to wash their hands for a couple minutes after watching.",2 Well this Spider-Man series is nothing like the original and how it should be. There is no Harry who is is best friend. This Iron man stuff is dumb cuz iron Man came years after Spider-Man. So I think this story if you want to call it that is just lame and dumb. Btw he got his powers from a oscorp spider bit not freaking iron Man,3 "Don't let the haters bring you down! Move was great Venom was great!! Carnage was even better!!!! It was amazing seeing venom and carnage go against each other!!",9 The first season was really good and the second season turned out a little slow but ok to watch. I think after that they need to stop making more seasons cause it gets worse from there.,7 "In which Christopher Nolan attempts to do a Spielberg in widening his palette to take in a major war-themed movie a la ""Schindler"". Does he succeed, well, I don't think so. Nolan has spoken about the unusual construction of his film, taking three stories on the day, one being two young soldiers' desperate attempt to escape the carnage on the beach over the course of a week, the RAF pilots attempting to protect the air-space over the Channel within one hour and the crew of a small private boat in one day making their own way to try to help relieve the situation and then sort of sort of slow / fast forwards them all on from there, cutting from one to the next in triangular order, from start to finish. These switches, I have to say, I grew almost irritated at by the end, to the point of anticipating them even at key dramatic points in the story. I guess his big idea was that rather than attempt a massive-scale over-arching narrative of the events at Dunkirk, he attempts to tell the tale with just these three microcosms and infuse them with the different human traits at play in such a desperate situation. Thus we see the young soldiers on the run from the start displaying fear, selfishness, ingenuity but yes, even cowardice as they try anything to get aboard a leaving ship, only to end up threatened with drowning in an abandoned boat they'd hoped to commandeer and use to get to safety. With the pilots, we witness calmness, bravery, loyalty, flying skills and ultimately self-sacrifice as they fight overwhelming odds in the air while in the rescuing private boat, again we see endeavour, courage and compassion as the crew of one middle aged man and two young boys attempts to make a difference by saving as many as they can. Was this approach the best way to convey the big picture here...I'm not convinced it was. Some of the incidents seemed contrived and at odds with the realism sought for elsewhere, especially the incidents of the young cabin boy on the small cruiser and the French soldier who ends up with a bunch of hardly heroic British soldiers under deck, trying to escape drowning. Sure, the depiction of the terrible ordeals they each went through is realistically portrayed, on water, land and sea, but ultimately it lacks the realism of say ""Saving Private Ryan"", (sacrificed obviously for the 12a classification to no doubt ensure younger viewers could get to see it), so there's no blood or bits of bodies as you would otherwise expect. I'm not sure I saw even one German in the whole movie. There's very little dialogue either so there wasn't much room for acting skills to shine other than by reacting mostly with British pluck to events, which actors like Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance can do all day while Tom Hardy is confined almost exclusively to the cockpit of his Spitfire. The best I can say about pop star Harry Styles' acting debut was that I didn't even notice him until my wife pointed him out to me in a scene right at the end. Commendably, Nolan keeps his film to a 105 minute duration when it would have been easy to bloat it to double that length, but in the end, I didn't feel at any stage that I was actually witnessing real events, always that I was watching a movie, which for me, as I say, makes it ultimately a failure. The miracle of Dunkirk was that 300000 got home safely under insuperable odds, whereas here it seemed as if barely 300 made it. Mr Nolan should turn his telescope around.",5 "The film is beautiful, the acting is great and the premise is well done with some pretty glaring inconsistencies. The plot for the first part of the film is not amazing but at least decent. Unfortunately after that they screw it all up so that they can pull a happy ending out of their crack. You can mostly ignore the inconsistencies and some of the more nonsensical character actions and motivations, but towards the end it becomes near unbearable. If the rest of the film were closer to the beginning, this would be a 9-10/10. Unfortunately it is difficult to go into these inconsistencies or issues without spoiling the film...",7 "As the movie world erupts in loud applause for Dunkirk (2017) there is a serious question being overlooked. A defining characteristic of historical drama is that it leaves us with a better understanding of history. If a viewer knew nothing of the history of Dunkirk would this film make sense? In other words, does this film have a coherent narrative that explains what happened or is it a digital effects spectacular? Dunkirk depicts three dramatised military scenarios that unfold in the air, on the ground, and at sea. Viewers must draw on prior knowledge to make sense of why 400,000 mostly British troops became trapped on a French coastline surrounded by German forces and facing imminent annihilation. The only hope to save what Churchill had called ""the whole root and core and brain of the British Army"" was to evacuate the troops across the English Channel. From fragments of talk between officers we gather that British Forces were unable to provide effective air support and troop-carrying vessels, so a hastily arranged flotilla of 800 British fishing boats and pleasure craft are sailing towards Dunkirk to save whoever they can carry. The action shifts frequently between parallel and sequential timeframes: in one scene, the camera is running along a beach, the next flying in a Spitfire sortie, then on top of or under a sinking ship. There are no prominent protagonists or antagonists, just archetypes of military and civilian personnel, both heroic and not. We follow a couple of young soldiers fleeing for their lives while enemy bombings and gunfire tear into their comrades. We meet a British civilian skipper who has answered the evacuation call and follow his journey across the channel to rescue soldiers from bombed ships and downed planes. We share the cockpit of a lone British fighter pilot as he fires on enemy planes to stop them bombing British troops on the beaches and on vessels, all while knowing that he is running out of fuel. What happens in each of the film's fictional scenarios is not the point: it is the totality of chaos and the scale of relentless carnage that assaults audience senses. When seen in high resolution 70mm film the spectacle is overwhelming. The booming soundtrack is repetitive and manipulative; constant percussive pulses and orchestral strings designed for only one purpose: to increase audience heart-rate. The dialogue is minimalist and voice recording quality in several scenes is poor but the action is all that matters. The scale of the combat scenes is massive and there are numerous scenes where the viewer will be disorientated, not knowing the good guys from the bad. But this is a pale imitation of what it must feel like in the chaos of battle. This is hardly entertainment. If the director's intention is to numb viewer's senses with a 106- minute glimpse of hell then this film is a success. If it is to tell the story of Dunkirk, it just does not have the narrative framework to explain how and why one of the world's biggest military disasters even happened. If it is to commemorate the Battle of Dunkirk, then turning the story into a massive digital effects spectacle makes a limited contribution to our collective memory of what has been described as the crucial turning point of World War II. Where it fails to illuminate Dunkirk history it makes up for as an immersive masterpiece of spectacle.",7 "For a film that won seven Oscars, I expected quite a bit. Unfortunately the movie ended up being boring and utterly slow paced. The movie was not scary or suspenseful as I anticipated it to be. While it was visually stunning in some parts, everything else was impressive. This movie follows Dr. Ryan Stone, played Sandra Bullock and veteran astronomer Matt Kowalski, played by George Clooney on their mission in space which quickly becomes ill- fated when their space craft is destroyed and their crew ends up getting killed. They must take the matters into their own hands to survive as they're stranded adrift in space. The movie had very little to the plot as it was slow paced, the acting was okay (at least by Sandra Bullock), and there is wasn't much emotionality to the story nor was there any tension to the film, at least after the beginning. The film didn't give me the spine chilling feels that the characters have. Overall, the film was NOT terrible but it wasn't what I was looking for.",4 "A group of once great superhero's come back together after there father who brought them together has a team when they where kids suddenly dies, although they all have led different lives, discover that they all must put there differences aside, in order find out a big conspiracy going on. Quite a fun cast who really bring there characters to life real well, has a good blend CGI and practical effects awesomely well together. Very funny and dramatic too.",9 "I can't wrap my head around all the 10/10 reviews with how unbelievably ridiculous this show was. I'm used to suspending my disbelief for the sake of a good show, but this one is so incredibly far fetched that I just kept rolling my eyes repeatedly. The acting wasn't too bad, but the story is barely in the good range, and I think I'm being generous.",6 "Bad comedy made for kids, painful writing and of course, the must-have ""girl power"" that infestate most shows and movies nowadays. But they did it, like in many other productions, in the most stupid and sexist way possible: they depict most men in the show as dumb or clueless while all mysteries, actions and problems can only be solved by the women. Pro-tip: if you think that the only way to show how strong women are is by depicting men as bad, then you don't have a good argument to begin with.",1 "I listened to the radio version of this on Radio 4 extra with great enjoyment. The TV version compares very unfavourably indeed. On the radio Mark Heap and Peter Serafinowicz shine as Aziraphale and Crowley. Their delivery is amusing, engaging and convincing. Again. On the radio version Clive Russell is simply superb as Shadwell - a joy to listen to. Watching the same material brought to the screen is like a kick in the teeth. Michael Sheen's Aziraphale is anodyne. I have no idea what David Tennant is doing with Crowley. He seems to be mixing up a collection of poor impersonations in ever varying quantities (Mark Bolan, Adam Ant, Johnny Depp, Bill Nighy, Joseph Gilgun...........) giving us a vacillating abomination. Michael McKean has a ""Mc"" in his name and so presumably was an obvious casting choice for the Scot Shadwell. But Michael McKean is from New York and his Scottish accent is so cringingly poor it would leave Dick Van Dyke feeling vindicated. Take a few moments to listen to Clive Russell in the radio version for the real McCoy. Be kind to your brain - avoid the TV version and catch the radio series if and while you still can. Season Two is even worse. It is like season one badly lobotomised as the intelligence of Pratchett is not there. Great book, great radio show with Heap and Serafinowicz but the TV show is not in the same league.",1 "Good God would someone please kill that b!+ch off or put her in her f'n place!?

Somehow they're powerless against her!? What f'n sense does this make and on what f'n planet would this be allowed to happen? Oh right, feminist Hollywood!

The Wither has amazing lore and story, it already had settings, costumes, intrigue, politics, drama, fun, it already had a huge fan-base, was well established and they had the perfect cast for it with the perfect main character Geralt, played by an actual fan of the series. Yet, somehow, they managed to completely destroy it all with pushing chauvinist BS, while lying to all the fans that they will stick to the story, all the while changing everything to whatever a single person thought to be better as its probably resonating to her own, personal worldviews and narrow mind... A real shame... When the goal becomes to push some internal narrative that exists only in your own head and to actively mock an entire generation or cohorts of customers JUST BECAUSE they DON'T LIKE THE SAME THINGS AND HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS and you start getting evidence for that, the problem is you not anything external to that. I cant even begin to describe in words how INSANE that sounds for me... How these people are hired and allowed to run franchises despite poor results is just baffling...",1 "For God's sake people, cut with your praises. Anyone who has read or seen any of the Space odyssey books/films will be bored to death watching this cheap and hollow ripoff of the story about space and time travel, alien intelligence and human/robot interfacing. The theme itself is fascinating, but the story and character development simply doesn't exist. Cuts are done with a chainsaw, story is full of holes and the twist at the end isn't as nearly dramatic as in previous Nolan's flicks. Cast is really, really terrible, lead by the Matt Daaaaaamon. Design is truly non innovative, production of the space movie looks really cheap and Zimmer's music is totally offbeat. There are some good things as well, like the scene with the video messages, or the ending design of the library scene. However, two scenes is really not nearly enough for a such hugely anticipated movie that comes from such an outstanding director. Although I consider myself a big CN fan, I must sadly admit that the Hollywood has ran him over and that his career is in a steep decline following Inception.",4 "Just a film I couldn't get into, not sure if it was the change of spiderman , or the lack of acting. I Must of been missing something looking at the other reviews but I didn't watch until the end.",2 "The show is a beautiful display of excellent direction,coordination and getting involved in the story. The show is very refreshing and the story is involving and attracting. The characters play the story beautifully and this is where the casting shows it's beauty. An important principle of acting is not making the viewer know you are acting and I think that this has been done beautifully in the show. Hats off to the TVF team. It's a marvel that you've created. The story along with good humour, has a wonderful morale. The show at each point presents the advantages of taking risks whilst illuminating the dangers of it. A MUST WATCH!!",10 "The plot & writing of this show is so shallow & transparent it's painful to watch. Everything that you think is going to happen after episode 1 or 2 is exactly what happens in subsequent episodes; which is made all the more painful by them laying on political correctness, race baiting & globalist BS thicker & heavier with each episode.",1 "Rags to riches is one such genre which gives you so many opportunities to hit the right strings. Taaza Khabar is one such opportunity which is wasted. This is one such mini series could have been muc better. First 2 episodes gels you to the couch however in the 3rd episode things start to get pretentious and boring. Too much of upload in 20-25 mins of episodes. It should have been a full fledged web series. Things would have gotten explained differently n clearly. Dialogues are below average and we have seen BB with his epic one liners in his YT channel. Al these 8-9 stars are given by BB followers and I am certainly not amazed to see this.",3 "STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) is a burnt out mercenary, who's assigned to rescue Ovi (Rudhraksh Jaiswal), the intelligent son of a notorious gangster, who's currently holed up in jail. After successfully completing this mission, he finds the kidnappers aren't as willing to relinquish their hostage as he'd hoped, plunging him into a deadly battle through the streets of Dhaka, where everything is not as it seems, and he can trust no one. As cinemas around the country (and the world, of course) are closed in the lockdown, streaming services like Netflix are going to be more popular than ever, as people, and certainly film lovers, will crave the sense of escapism that the filmic experience provides even more than they usually do. And, indeed, the main function of a film like Extraction will be to escape to another world, because there will never be any sense of realism in some action film where one man takes on a whole bunch of villains and defeats them without getting a scratch, the ones popularised so greatly throughout the 80s and 90s. Which the feature length directorial debut of Sam Hargrave ultimately emerges as one, big generic regurgitation of. Hargrave saturates everything with the standard present day dark, moody style, with a gloomy, blurred shooting style, setting the overall tone for the film itself. If it hadn't been so heavy and humourless, and a little shorter and less self indulgent, it could have passed as a harmless, run of the mill actioner, something to nod off to late at night, but instead it's one big, overblown event that seems to be stabbing at something deeper. Hemsworth is effective and convincing as an action hero, there's a depressingly authentic recreation of the Indian slums and it livens up at the end, with some pretty decent action, but it all amounts to the same thing. There's an Aladdin's cave of these type of movies in the back catalogue of films from the 80s and 90s, and there's plenty you can seek out, which will be over and done with much quicker and give you much the same experience. Usually starring Steven Seagal. **",4 Game of thrones vibes with half the production's money The dialogs are poor and tacky The scenario vary basic with a lot of boring side story lines The CGIs 😂,5 "It made me feel like I was some kind of unknown entity, disconnected from humanity, as I couldn't fathom as to why these blue smurfs were so popular with the general audience, or perhaps they were just easily entertained with the visual spectre and 3D effect - like a baby being dangled a toy in front of their face. The movie is very cookie cutter, following a predictable formula James Cameron perfected with Titanic. It is almost hilarious how Avatar follows it pretty much beat for beat. Outsiders of lower standing by chance becomes selected to join on exploring a new place, meeting new kinds of people who's different than him, and he is being shunned for his differences at start, while he falls for the girl. Mostly adventure and a bit of drama for the first 2/3, and then tragedy strikes, making the last third act more action oriented. This is summarising it, but even looking in further detail it doesn't miss. It isn't the worst movie made or anything like that. There clearly is a lot of effort put into it. However it just comes across as such a commercial product, with bland characters. Also have to mention how hilarious it is Cameron announced Avatar 2, 3, 4, etc back in the day. Seems the first sequel is actually coming out later this year. Personally I strongly prefer his earlier movies as Terminator and Aliens.",3 No spoilers.. While the movie in general was very good and kept me entertained till the end I thought they missed out on an opportunity. The movie was based on a true story of two anti-apartheid activists but gave little history or background into the anti-apartheid struggle or the movement. 98% of the movie was about the lead characters struggle to escape imprisonment. It seemed very reminiscent of escape from Alcatraz or The Rock. They really could've been in prison for any reason and the movie could've have still worked. It would've been much better if more background was given on the characters and their motivations as well as a historical background of South Africa and the struggle of the African people.,7 "Great story,great acting,and great teachings bahot sahi acting by all the characters mainly by jitendra kumar,chandan roy and raghuveer yadav portraying all the basic nature of a villager this also shows the struggle that take place if someone goes from a city to a village but on the other hand shows how villagers live their life to the fullest this also shows the struggle of studying while doing job...those who want to persue their studies with their job..they must see panchayat chandan roy was the best character who came in front with this season...how well he shows the innocence of a villager ...",8 "I'm a fan of the games, especially Wild Hunt. This is the Witcher, pure and simple. Henry Cavill does Geralt so well I'm sold on the illusion. If you liked the game, you'll probably like this. It has the same tone, structure and all that moral gray that makes the story stand out so well.",9 "STORY A prisoner on parole, who's on his way to meet his daughter, is enlisted by an injured police officer to protect a few cops. With the entire lot of gangsters in the place after them, can the prisoner save the day? REVIEW The film revolves around a prisoner which is released from the jail.. who is named Dilli. The entire film runs in one night.. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT it runs in one night just like Lokesh kankaragan Managaram. It's a very gripping and action thriller which hooks us completely.. Karthi shoulders the film where no actor in the movie does.. ONE MAN SHOW. Like most of the Indian Films do.. there is no any type of masala added in this film.. it's completely different from other films.. in terms of cinematography and the music. The cinematography was very good and engaging throughout the movie.. the cinematographer painted the film perfectly with his tools. THE music by Sam c.s was excellent and stupendous. It elevated the film and the hero. The technical aspects of the movie was good. The director grabs the attention through his art of taking movies.. The emotions which Karthi potrays in this film is heart touching. You can see different Karthi through this film.. OVERALL VERDICT - YOU HAVE TO GIVE A TRY.. OTHERWISE YOU'LL MISS SOME WONDERS..",9 "Y'all really shot yourselves in the foot by firing and now proceeding to smear the very single individual that uplifted your show and garnered such massive admiration for it. It's pathetic how Hollywood consistently takes a dump on a industry that makes MORE than it does as a whole, and vilifies anyone passionate or associated with it any capacity. These show runners and actresses sound less motivated to make top notch art, and more motivated by their warped perception of social justice. Cavill is a lore nerd that plays video games for the storytelling. Will not be watching s3 with this decision.",9 "This movie, nothing more than a cheesy scenes needlessly thrown together, truly has no heart or point to it, and is among the worst that I have seen. It attempts to do everything without focusing its attempts. Just like the way that a person who tries to multitask only does a semi-good job on either task, this movie does no good job at anything. If the movie were sped up, it would seem like a parody of Hollywood films. I am honestly shocked that anyone enjoyed this film. Not only did the Oscars like it, they liked it more than ""The Shawshank Redemption"" and ""Pulp Fiction"", both among the best movies of all time,and both released in the same year.",1 "If you want to know what was wrong with the new flick by your all time favorite edgy filmmaker Tarantino you should read the 1 star reviews. But there are positive things to say: dicaprio acted fantastic. The set and the costumes were excellent. The climatic scene was entertaining. That's it. The rest was terrible pacing, stupid flashbacks, boring dialogue, unnecessary scenes and characters and it was really long and you are patiently waiting for the story to really start. And then it's over. My conclusion is that the movie was just irrelevant. I've seen worse flicks this year including endgame. So make your own mind",4 "And I kinda love it. It's genuinely bonkers and the last episode put my jaw on the floor. Oscar Isaac is brilliant as the lead, and the action is solid. Give it a chance!",8 This movie was very underwelming i own it but only because it came with the first one i got for 8 dollars new and since i collect movies i bought them but i really dont care for this movie its sad that it doesnt even come close to first one.,3 "I thought the movie was OK. I feel it is more intended for teen girls. Some guys may like it. I personally don't watch very much TV unless they are movies. The show has very well picked out characters that fit the roles perfectly. The story line is also very good. If you like TV show series, this would be the perfect series for you. It does a good job of keeping you interested. If you don't like TV show series I would steer away from ""13 reasons why"".",8 "On a personal note, after Batman Begins, after The Avengers and after the evolution of the comic book movie from a cult audience pleaser to an award winning blockbuster, I thought to myself. Well where could it go from here. The answer is, here. From the first moment to the last breath, this film totally blew me away on a level I couldn't predict. With Iron Man and The Avengers itself getting most of the critical praise and fan support it was clear to me that Chris Evan's, Steve Rogers was in need of a boost, many fans also argued that ol' Cap got the least amount of treatment out of the Avengers. If this is so then I chock it up to him being the proverbial 'fish out of water' for that film. From that last statement I can go on to say that the 'fish out of water' thing is a central thing to this film as Steve Rogers fights to face his new place in the world, having been thrust from WWII into present day in the span of a heartbeat. And Chris Evans handles this pressure with excellence, Evans is loaded with a powerhouse performance throughout and aided by a stellar supporting cast including Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson, Samuel L Jackson's Nick Fury, Cobie Smulder's Maria Hill, Robert Redford's Alexander Pierce, Frank Grillo's Brock Rumlow and Sebastian Stan's Winter Soldier. In stark contrast to the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) films we have seen so far, this film can be truly accessible for 'semi' intense comic fans as well as the die hard as the films genre feels more along the lines of an epic action/political thriller than the spandex laden days of old. Trust me, you need to see this film man. The Russo Brothers have created the MCU equivalent of 'The Empire Strikes Back' here and it does not disappoint. If The Avengers left you on the edge of your seat, then The Winter Soldier will leave you hovering in the aisle! FP",10 "I doubt auto racing can be made to be any more engaging to me than in this, which is to say I'm not fascinated by men in sports cars driving around in circles, but ""Ford v Ferrari"" is a ripsnorting ride. Despite its two-and-a-half-hours runtime, it's never dull, and the whiplash cutting and vroom-vroom sounds are wholly deserving of their Oscars. Casting two of the most likable actors around, Matt Damon and Christian Bale, both of who try on different accents, in the leads helps, too. The title, ""Ford v Ferrari,"" winds up being rather misleading, though, as the picture shifts gears more along the lines of Ford suites v Ford gearheads. That at one turn, Henry Ford II frightfully weeps as a passenger in a race car suggests where the movie's sympathies rest in that competition. The pissing competition between two bosses of car manufacturers takes a backseat to this inter-corporate one-upmanship and even that is of less interest than chasing the adrenaline junkies speeding around corners and risking death for glory. Rather simplistic for a Best Picture Oscar nominee, although not for its technically splendid production, but it's undeniably popularly entertaining.",7 "I liked the games and the books, but this was a disappointment for me as i have higher expectation. The story is fine, but as pointed many times the amendment made do not improve it. As for actors i really liked Geral, Ciri and to an extent Jaskier. The rest of the casting is a disappointment and looks like a cast from a low budget movie. The fighting scenes and CGI effects are big disappointment too. Funny looking and randomly running soldiers in the Sodden Hill resemble mostly some leather clad villains from Xena and not a serious high fantasy scene. GOT first series had similar budget and managed to deliver better quality.",6 "It's awful. Almost none of the characters are like able, nobody's feelings make any sense, and the amount of random fan service is unbearable. The only reason I finished it was because I kept having people say it gets better at the end. It does not. Usually I don't make ratings but I thought I should since this anime was so bad. Some people I know like it so maybe you might, but I personally found it very hard to watch.",1 "It is trash, so horribly trash. The writing and the plot are so outrageously bad and senseless, it's hysterical. And literally every event in the show is so painfully predictable that you see it coming from a mile away. I cannot stress enough how bad this was, wow.",1 "I was afraid about this series, but the Netflix really gave us what we wanted, the real Witcher feeling. I started being a fanboy to the Witcher with the games (as i think everyone do), and after a while I read the book series, and I am still love in it, it became my favourite book series. It is hard to adapt a collection of short-stories even if it in chronological order, but in the Witcher case, it wasn't, and this is the reason why they have to change plenty of thing, but they changed it in a very good and satisfying way. The actors and actresses were very good, especially Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra and Myanna Buring. This is a must see series everyone who likes even a bit the fantasy genre, i really looking forward to the next season.",5 "Avatar, did it bore you? The film itself is comparable to any other high budget film. The special effects are something to gawk at and the cinematography is up to scratch but does this forgive the lack lustre acting and generic storyline? In my books, no. This fantasy storyline is one that did not try to hide the or reinvent the main points needed for a Hero driven storyline, in fact, it obviously put them on show for the audience to see. Examining and explaining every key point to the audience, the dialogue and plot line was just plain patronising. It treated you as an idiot. If you are fine with being treated like an idiot than I am sure you would have enjoyed the story presented in this film. For others that do like to think a little bit or at least be treated with respect by the director, than I'm sure you didn't enjoy the story at all. Every character within the film was built upon a stereotype and this meant no unpredictability from any of characters. You knew what each characters opinion's clearly were and from this you could tell exactly what was going to happen five scenes before it would happen. This made the film uninteresting and boring. It left me constantly checking my watch for the last hour of the film. Maybe the special effects did it for you though? This is what allowed many to forgive the film itself but for me it felt nothing new. After playing several hundred hours of video games and watching many movies, the effects within this film were good, granted, but nothing to amaze me. Anyone else may enjoy the special effects within the film and I can understand why. But special effects should never make up the core of the film; they are just the icing on the cake, not actually the cake itself. Unfortunately, Avatar with it's adequate cinematography, ""cool"" special effects and mediocre plot; this film is nothing special whatsoever. You aren't missing anything if you miss the film. Avatar - one of the worst in 2009.",3 "All starting with a baby in a hospital exhibiting strange abilities, occurrences begin to emerge all over the world as society soon ushers into a World where 80% of the population possess super abilities know as quirks. Now the Reality of superheroes and villains are part of every day life, the concept of being a superhero is now a full-fledged job and duty. Now many train, Study and attend schools to one day be a heroes in there own right. This leads us to the Story of Izuku Deku Midoriya Who likes so many children growing up wishes to be a hero. Inspired by his childhood icon All might the number #1 hero and symbol of peace. Unfortunately was born quirk-less and his dream of being a hero are shattered until one day he meets all might who grant him the opportunity to be a hero. Over the history of anime we have had many shows that are focused on specific themes. Series based off of Aliens,pirates,ninjas, demons etc. Now we have a show that takes one of the oldest concepts superheroes and delivers a fresh take. My Hero academia is a show that mixes those charms of traditional superhero comics and gives it a touch of Japanese culture. With compelling characters, interesting subplots, and epic fights. You follow seeing more of the fundamentals of this world works, and the task that need to be taken into consideration. The choices that need to be made and what does it mean to be a true hero. Deku is a Great protagonist he's a guy you can relate to he's not perfect he's not flawless. He stands up for what's right but he's also timid and stuttering a lot of the time muttering his thoughts out loud. Using a notebook/journal taking notes to studying heroes. He's honestly really a nerd but yet he's so likable and relatable in a way. This connection with all might highlights of the series every time the two of them are speaking, The emotion between them the care between a student and his mentor as all might steadily guides him down that path of the hero. Even when you think there's not much he can do all might still encourages him to pursue. It's not only with Deku but also the rest of the 20 classmates in class 1-A. Who the majority of them are compelling and interesting from Dekku's Childhood friend/Rival Bakugo a complete hothead who also idolizes all might, is determined to be the Number one hero differs greatly, to the studious students like Iida and Momo do you think I'm just gonna be no one else but they have their obstacles over come to. To the kind hearted considerate individuals like Uraraka. Each of them have their own background strong personality and their own reason and purpose of why they want to be a hero. Some because they think it's right, because of family, money and some to prove a point. Adding to the mix it's interesting villains as well with the league of villains who are you are just as fascinated with and even feel sympathy and love& hate for certain ones. As well as the creativity of all the quirks taking some a more traditional basic works but also managed to take a abilities that would come off rather dumb and somehow make them interesting. Overall my hero academia is a great series if you love super heroes it's a must see for any fan of a genre.",8 "This must rate as about the most disappointing film in recent memory. Absolute nonsense. I strongly advise anyone who is seriously considering wasting their money on this sorry excuse for a film to save their money and spend it on genuine quality such as Mystic River or 21 Grams. The very fact that this film exists demonstrates that nepotism is alive and well in Hollywood, does anybody seriously think that directionless nonsense like this would have been made had it not been a Copolla at the healm?? I think not. Now onto the film itself. At the end of the day this is simply a concept film where the concept is seriously deficient. OK, I get the message - all out relationships, with one another, with our family, our work colleagues, our neighbours are, to a lesser or greater degree, 'lost in translation'. By transposing the film to Japan where the language barrier further accentuates that concept we are forced to consider the other barriers that exist between us beyond that of language, i.e. emotional barriers. And I get the fact that the lack of dialogue is supposedly used to further demonstrate that language is never the key barrier between individuals, that people don't connect through words but through their attitudes, ideas, emotions, beliefs etc. The problem with this film is that Copolla doesn't know how to express this concept in any meaningful way. The lack of dialogue does work on occasion but it needs to be supported by powerful emotive performances on the part of the leads (Bill Murray deserving of an Oscar?? - you have to be joking!) and at least a hint of dialogue, however subtle, to pull the strands together (how on earth Copolla won Best Original Screenplay for a film without dialogue is beyond me). The only dialogue that exists is trite and shallow. Maybe that was the intention, that the characters can't express themselves in words, but I just found myself crying out for the characters to reveal a little more of themselves and their situations. Ultimately, the film comes across as a series of set-pieces that just feel like fillers. Bill Murray striding mournfully across a golf course does indeed express his disconnection from his own and others lives but then so does him lying on his bed night after night after night unable to sleep, and so does him sitting at the bar alone, and so do numerous other 1 minute scenes. The same applies to Scarlett Johansson. We don't need it hammered home quite so tediously and repeatedly that the prime characters are feeling lost and removed from time, people and place - we get it in the first 15 minutes. Copolla should move on and build the film around that fact but instead wallows in this single concept, very boring and very disappointing. I think you'd call it flogging a dead horse. It also struck me as a film bordering on the racist. I read a few reviews that suggested that this was a comedy - well the only alledged comedy I saw was all at the expense of the Japanese and the supposedly hilarious fact that they don't speak English. After about the 10th shot of Bill Murray looking bemused at a Japanese speaker I felt angry more than amused, I thought we'd left that ignorant brand of comedy back in the dark ages of cinema where it belongs. Ultimately, I left the cinema feeling that in the hands of a more accomplished writer/director this film *may* have worked but as it stands it couldn't be any wider of the mark.",1 "I dislike the series, mainly because I can't relate with the characters as they were presented/acted and I don't like the serialized format. The premise is good, I think it is very realistic despite the scientific flaws (?!) . About the PC, I think that it is intended for a new world, a new public, a new family and new points of view. I agree that put John Robinson as a dummy male was too much, but in the original series nobody remembers that Maureen is a botanist, but then it's the 60s. If you want to explore space, don't expect it will be an easy task, that is what the series shows.",4 "I was hoping for a great movie, but was sorely let down. When you take a sad, violent story and change it into a demented piece of crap, it says much about the mentality of the writer/ director. I wonder what Roman Polanski thinks of this trash. So don't waste your time on garbage, look for a better film, it shouldn't be hard.",2 You are definitely gonna enjoy this short story....the feeling u get after watching this series is amazing. A must watch series who loves the village dramas.,8 "This is one of the worst series I have ever watched. Just because it carries the Marvel label doesn't mean it's going to be good. Most if the sitcoms it has emulated to date were horrible as well. Perhaps it will get better, but I doubt it.",2 "The series is plain boring. There is no emotion what so ever. The characters have no goals and are very poorly written for screen. It's all about who married who, but where GOT made that nail-bitingly interesting, HOTD makes it painful to sit through. It would've been more interesting if there were more fights and dragon battles, something one would expect from the title of the show and from reading the book. The characters don't go through any development, despite the plot jumping years ahead in the storyline. It is very boring and one could easily tap away at their phone while watching. To be honest, I feel like this show would discourage people who haven't seen GOT to watch even one episode.",2 "Here's another Coen effort: better than 'Arizona', less than 'Brother'. It's a simpler send-up, reliant more on characters than circumstance, and more pedestrian than their other work. Notice their reliance on lesser actors this time and only McDormand gets decent expansion. This doesn't have them pushing any kinds of limits, certainly not compared to Gilliam. This film is unique in the Coens nature, but it doesn't have the same level of magnetism that even 'Arizona' had. Where's the charm? After their latest 'Intolerable', I hope the Coens come up with something unique. Final Analysis = = Midrange Material",9 "Following the death of its architect, a reclusive mastermind with an appreciation for easter eggs and pop culture trivia, the virtual denizens of an MMO called OASIS embark upon a high-stakes scavenger hunt. To the victor go the spoils - in this case, untold riches and complete control of the game - which would make a big difference in the outside world, where society stands on the brink of collapse. That premise does make for an interesting book, where there's plenty of time to elaborate, but in abridged form on the screen it feels more than a little shallow. There, our attention seems more focused upon the background noise and blink-to-miss cameo appearances than the plot and core characters. Granted, those little tidbits and surprises are responsible for much of what made the book so unique, and I'm sure they cost a pretty penny to shoulder into the scenery. Are they really more valuable than character development? The main cast is basically a narrow series of templates, plain as can be, and neither the virtual world nor the real one are fleshed out any further than the fight locations in a typical game of Street Fighter II. A few fun ideas do not make for a nourishing film experience. In a couple weeks, the five-minute segment recreating Stanley Kubrick's The Shining will likely be all I can remember.",4 "Don't waste your time, they race swap everyone. The books take place in Eastern Europe so how are there so many non whites. Henry cavil is the only thing good about the show.",1 "My how time flies. Not only have we watched three young actors and their respective characters grow up over the course of 10 years before our very eyes, but also the tonal shift from light to dark in the ""Harry Potter"" movies has been unusually drastic. ""Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1″ is a true epic — a dark and brooding journey with a tone remarkably akin to ""The Lord of the Rings."" Director David Yates has taken a film series which was once a fanciful, light-hearted rendering of author J.K. Rowling's imagination and made it feel real and especially dangerous. I suppose you could say it's not your older sibling's ""Harry Potter."" The dark turn of the films was inevitable given the content of the books, but Yates has realized it in such a way that these last couple of films have felt completely different from their predecessors. Rowling's tone, in spite of more prolific deaths, has not changed nearly as much. This time around there's lots of blood, characters are dying left and right and the stuff that supplements the main plot, instead of being fluffy and magical, is decidedly dramatic. Although Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is still the courageous and impulsive one, Hermione (Emma Watson) is still the smart and prepared one and Ron (Rupert Grint) is still the oblivious one, the dialogue is adult and the moments they share are complex. The three friends must survive on their own in this film as they search for the horcruxes (objects infused with parts of Voldemort's (Ralph Fiennes) soul) and are on the run from the Death Eaters, the dark wizards and witches who have seized the Ministry of Magic and have begun a reign of terror. Considering these once-child stars were initially cast on looks and being able to play their type, they continue to prove themselves as venerable adults in ""Hallows."" This maturity is reflected in the writing of screenwriter Steve Kloves (who adapted every book but ""Order of the Phoenix""). He provides many tender and dramatic moments between the friends, not all of which were written by J.K. Rowling, trusting them to handle the deeper material. Given the flexibility of a two-film final chapter, Kloves could also resort more to cutting corners than entire sections of the book. Devout fans will notice much of the exposition regarding Albus Dumbledore's ""mysterious"" past including that involving the wizard Gridelwald has been axed or turned into easter eggs. That's it as far as significant omissions, and it was the right choice on account of a lack of visual storytelling opportunities, even though Harry's growing resentment of/loss of faith in Dumbledore never becomes part of the story as it does so intriguingly in the book. Yates' patience also improves the series in ""Hallows."" There's a build up to the events and some lengthier shots that have a lasting impact. It feels more like a dramatic motion picture than a squeeze-it-in adaptation. The film could have easily hopped from scene to scene with action at every turn, but Yates takes his time. The scene in Godric's Hollow, for example, when Harry and Hermione follow the old Bathilda Bagshot to her house only to find she's not quite who they think she is evolves slowly and culminates in a tense sequence lasting much shorter. Succinctly put, the cinematic quality of the films has continued to improve as it has done ever since Yates took over. What used to be the emphasis in the plot-driven scenes (action and visual effects) has changed. ""Deathly Hallows"" is not forgiving of those who aren't already familiar with the Harry Potter universe, but at the same time, this darker tone, higher proportion of drama and much more cinematic feel should improve the overall entertainment factor for those hoping to get something out of the ""Hallows"" despite never reading the books or barely remembering the previous entries. With the PG-13 rating back on, ""Deathly Hallows"" feel real and the action is palpable. The casting of fighting spells back and forth in battle do some collateral damage for once. The sound and VFX teams deserve major credit for upping that factor to a new level. For once, magical realism has an application to the Potter world: Instead of calling attention to pretty visual effects, Yates and crew make them feel naturally part of the action, which keeps our focus on the characters. CGI in films has also improved over the 10 years of ""Potter"" movies and as such, Yates sees no compelling need to highlight them more than usual and ""Hallows"" is better for it. Maybe most importantly, ""Hallows Pt. 1″ sets us up for a dramatic, exciting and cathartic finale to the most impressive movie franchise ever made. Yates, Kloves and the entire cast and crew have really upped the stakes with their work on this film and it shows. I have no ounce of doubt that Part 2 will be an incredible send-off for this series given the effort and creativity put into Part 1. If you're a fan who has forgotten how close you've actually become to these characters, ""Deathly Hallows"" will surely remind you.",9 "I give rating 7 to this, very generously. Things were, that first episode was pretty much bad. Did not help, that I did not see yet decent Sci-Fi from Netflix. So, I was on - will watch episode 2, and if it is same poor, over. Luckily, it was much better, but of course still with lot of bad decisions of characters, some bad physics .. Stupidest part was that way too fast freezing of water in episode 1. Absolute irreal. As example of irreal actions I could give part, where Maureen went alone (despite she had offer for help) to build and ride balloon in stratosphere. One moment strong wind almost killed her, then she managed it just like that ... But at that moment I was with turned off all logic, just watched it for fun. Acting was fine in most cases, CGI pretty good for TV serial. It managed to stay family story in big part, but is, as others noticed pretty much feminized. Female Dr Smith was OK for me, almost better than original one, but making John Robinson some average, military guy instead sciencist ? What's the point in this circumstances ? They made also Will much less smart than in original. Finale was enough good to make people waiting for next season, even that there were some really lame, predictable events (robot's switch back ...) . Would like to see some big name in season 2, at least in 1-2 episode. Imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger fighting with robot ? Or maybe Charlize Theron would do it better ? :-)",7 "Where do I even begin? The show has an excellent premise, a ""family"" of superheroes with huge family issues. Each of them has a different personality and powers. The directing, visual effects, soundtrack, everything is top notch. All is well so far, and only so far. Every single problem they have could be solved by literally talking for 5 seconds. Let's say A steals something from B and C sees him. A tells B that C stole it, and B says ""give it back or I'll hit you"". A normal answer from C would be ""B is lying"". But here, we have so much forced tension that C replies with ""I will kill you if you try"". There are time skips (scene starts at night, ends up next day at midday), continuity issues (one moment they don't even have money, and the next they all have new clothes and a car?), incoherent character development (it seems everyone has split personalities), and many more bad writing. And of course, we have the elephant in the room. Vanya. Luther went from locking her up to choosing ""him"" as his best ""man"". ""I go by Viktor now. Does anyone have a problem with that?"" One of the few times that a recast would have been perfectly acceptable.",5 """American Fiction"" is touted as a fearless, incisive critique of white powerbrokers who promote black underclass values and behaviors in order to sell books and movies. Think the white producer behind the provocative black rapper. That's what you see in the ""American Fiction"" trailer. That's *not* what you get when you sit through the entire film. ""American Fiction"" is for the most part a grade Z domestic melodrama. Shallow, insincere, undercooked, and not at all emotionally engaging. The characterizations are so trite and so shallow I didn't care about any of these characters. There is a death and I just did not care. Mom has Alzheimer's. Sis works for Planned Parenthood and has a health crisis. Brother is a gay man who married a beard who divorced him and took his money. Dad was a serial adulterer who ended his own life in the family beach house. Monk, the main character, is abrasive and close to friendless. He takes up with a neighbor lady and manages to alienate her. The one believable character, a lovely, caring woman, is the black maid, who is, alas, all too close to the kind of stereotypical character Hattie McDaniel once played. But, again, this maid is the one character in the movie who cares about other people, so I liked her. That's the bulk of the movie. The critique of stereotyping is brief and not at all new. Nothing new is said. No new ground is broken. All the white cultural powerbrokers and ridiculous and clueless and too caricatured to make any real point. No mention of black audiences who buy violent rap or the actual people who live the actual lives described in books like that written by Sintara Golden. There are so many important themes here that the movie completely ignores or underserves. This emperor is totally naked. The people praising this movie are as bad as the powerbrokers satirized within the film.",1 "With two superheroes going head to head in one movie, this movie is made to be a real turning point. Captain America: civil war is the third movie about Captain America and has to follow two movies that were great. But what can you expect form a movie where superheroes don't fight against evil but against each other? There are two teams in this movie, on the one side you have Iron man (Robert Downey Jr.) and on the other side Captain America (Chris Evans). Let's begin with Iron man. ... Check out the full review of ""Captain America: civil war"" on our blog and let us know what you think. https://thetalkingpicturesblog.wordpress.com/2016/05/01/captain- America-civil-war/",10 "Loved this! So refreshing to finally watch something that made me smile and laugh out loud. Classic Steve Martin and Martin Short witty humor. Plot was also fun and kept me interested. Steve, Martin and Selena had great chemistry. Looking forward to Season 2!",8 No beginning of the story And no ending Nice performance of the cast and that is the only reason for my stars,4 "I just saw Uncut Gems and found it overrated and annoying. Everyone was yelling at each other in overlapped dialogue where I couldn't tell what they were talking about sometimes. It's about a jeweler that owes money to all these people including gangsters that sell diamonds to him and he got this rock filled with diamonds from Africa that basketball player Kevin Garnett wants for over $175,000. The music was of no clear tone and felt way too high pitched. It definitely pulls you in, but not in the best intentions.",5 "A waste of time, of energy and of the stuff that award trinkets are made of. Why this shallow so-called satire has received accolades around the globe is far beyond me, but there you go: it's the emperor's clothes all over.",2 "Avatar: the last airbender is a clear 10/10 in my book. Endlessly charming, amazing worldbuilding, a plethora of loveable characters that all undergo truly masterfully executed character development, great animation, and a fantastic score. Really, everything you could ever wish for in a show. No real drawbacks at all except for the first season dragging just a little bit too much. Truly the best animated show of all time, and my personal favourite show. Highly recommended!",10 "Why it's so complicated to do show, like written in books? Not mix all , cut and change many things. People who don't read book, will not understand nothing. This time jumping in show made so bad. Many characters looks absolutely not like they should be. ( of course it's necessary to put many black people) ok, do it !!!! Do some black knights, fighters, mage !!! But not Elf and driadas. It's look ridiculous.",1 "This is a boring to death movie. Actually nothing happens besides Matt Damon repeating how smart, how unique and how intelligent he think he is. As he did in goodwill hunting and the talented mr rip ley, once again he's praising himself with this one idea again and again of a ""special intelligence"" person. Perhaps it's just me, but I think that he shouldn't do the same impersonation ever again. Too predictable.",2 "You will find no storyline, whatsoever. From first to last mindless action, ending is weird and like masala Bollywood flick. Not worth a watch.",3 This movie has been my one of the best watch recently. Specially the way the story has been presented by all the characters. Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam's acting was top notch and loved the every second of the movie.,10 Amazing film keeping me on the edge of my seat definitely worth a watch!!,7 "There seems to be a great deal of panning going on, from viewers and critics who quite frankly have their heads squarely up their own backsides. What the hell were you expecting?? ? Citizen Kane? People have made much of the fact that there are a lot of special effects sequences, well umm, they are right, but to do down the film because of it, wtf? IT'S A COMIC BOOK MOVIE!! Of course there are going to be special effects! Have you read a comic book? Even just once? And I'm not talking Peanuts or Calvin and frikkin Hobbs, but a REAL comic book? One with superheroes in it? There is this thing that happens in comic books, it's called ACTION. Yes, ACTION. You see that? That six letter word? That's what you are bitching about. The fact that a superhero movie has action in it. There's too much CGI, you whine. Well of course there is! Whilst Batman can be managed using practical, albeit outstanding, but practical effects. A guy in a metal suit that flies and shoots energy blasts is going to require CGI!!! Get a grip!! If you are not a stuck up cinephile, you will enjoy this movie. If you don't have unreasonable expectations about ""where they should have taken the franchise"" you will enjoy this movie. If you were expecting a highly nuanced tale of personal sacrifice or much moral hand- wringing then you went to see the wrong film. You should have extracted your head from your colon for five seconds and paid attention to what you were going to see.",7 One of the few films that I just could not watch until the end...I lasted about 30min and I got so bored that I just quit.,2 "Why do you get someone with a thick Italian accent to play an Irishman? So this movie is literally a whose who of Italian actors, with one off the all-time great Hollywood directors and producers, however it still manages to be underwhelming. Watching it felt like death by a thousand cuts and is a disgrace to The Godfather and Goodfellas.",4 I've gotta admit upfront. Half way thru this movie my wife had to wake me up because I was snoring loudly. That's because this movie is so confusing and boring it will put u to sleep. We jointly thought about changing theaters to see a different movie. We sure should have. I'd rate this a negative 2 IF they had that. Boooooooring!!!!!,1 "Overall, the mini-series covers the events well enough and captures the important moments of the Chernobyl disaster. However, the british actors struggling to call each other by Russian names kind of ruined the mood for me. Some of the characters seem exaggerated, to make it more appealing to the larger public, I guess, but it didn't particularly appeal to me.",9 A mess of a movie. Bad editing and just a bunch of explosions. Michael Bay was good in the 90s but it is time to reinvent himself. It really feels like a 20-year old movie.bring something new to the table.,2 "I actually enjoyed that one a lot. As an avid viewer and not a particular fan of Marvel I really enjoyed the series. Plot wise I really liked how action packed entire series was. Political stuff are actually very important to me and I love the representation so I guess I have a different view from other people when it comes to it because for me it's not even a political stand but just human rights. A point that not many superheroes movies/series do which is having that grasp of reality. The villains for me got that Mr Robot vibe which I quote enjoyed. First and foremost there were no waste-of-time romantic relationships which always just end up annoying me. No clif hangers for no reason. Super nice watch. Also... Ayo ROCKS!",9 "I am in love with the story of The Witcher. But this series is about smth else. In my opinion, if you want to put the book on the screen, you should follow its plot and show the true characters. I have so many questions to the producers and movie makers and all the staff. The first one, what did you do to the witches? If you read the true story, you would know, witches all look like 18 y.o. Gorgeous ladies. They do not look like so in your series and why? You see, all of them have enough power to look stunning, but they don't. Also elves, not only in this book, but everywhere fairy folk or elves look unnaturaly beautiful. What they look like in your masterpiece? Like a bunch of goblins, actually. These are the first things which catch the eyes, I am not talking about others. Tell me, why you take almost all unappropriate actors? I wish they could play persuasively, but... Please, stop oppressing white actors, don't let your reverse rasism spoil great stories.",2 "First off, I love the show, though at times kinda slow. But did anyone put two n two together on the Ryan brothers and their first names? Francois and James Ryan. Who's co producing this series? Matt Damon. Who did Matt Damon play in "" Saving Private Ryan ""? James Francois Ryan. Bam ... there ya go! He threw that one in on us. Lol.",8 "I really love this show and I've watched both seasons now. Acting is good, the special effects are great and the story line never gets old. I agree with you and your not the only person here that actually liked season 2... Please don't cancel we love it :)",9 "This movie was awful; the acting was abhorrent, the special effects looked like a spy kids movie, and the plot was verging on completely ludicrous. I was ready for a simple popcorn flick, but this movie committed the worst crime of all; it was horrendously boring. This film had zero depth, the characters were two dimensional, and the jokes mostly fell flat for me. The actors looked bored, and at times there was more green screen than the Star Wars prequels. Worse still, there were times where it felt like certain actors weren't even on set at the same time as the others, and it was all edited together afterwards. I wish I had the infinity glove so I could click my fingers and cut this movie by 50% of its runtime.",2 "First, let me say that ALL the Actors, but one, were fantastic, and the one that wasn't, had a language/enunciation problem. (half the time he spoke you couldn't understand what he said) But good actors (and believe me they did their damnedest!)can't make up for a wandering script with poor suspension of disbelief. Just when something needed expounding or explanation, the script would jump to a different scenario. And the sound! I guess the editor thinks that when you push the volume, no-one will notice how the villains (the ""projections"") have no identity (individually OR in groups) for the audience to hate (OR love.) So loud during the bombings and shoot-'em-ups, I had to plug in my ear- buds. This movie could have been the best of the year with INTELLIGENT rewriting, editing, and minus the actor with questionable language skills. Instead, it was nonsense. I can not believe IMDb's 9.2/10 rating. I smell a rat. I guess if Congressmen and Senators take bribes, why not IMDb ""payola""!",3 "I think it's will be better if it's just a sitcoms,just a marvel film,didn't changed since Ironman.And Wanda looks really studied,but I love her.",7 "I am reading the reviews here and there are many that couldn't tear it apart more if they had a paper shredder. That being said, I actually enjoyed this 10 episode pilot, that sets the stage for our characters. Yes I saw the original TV series, when it aired, then again for many years in reruns. It was campy, had more plot holes than a fishing net, the acting was downright bad at times. But the way many are critiquing this ""reboot"", you would think that the original cast and program was classical Shakesphere.. I found this entertaining, I do not go overboard trying to find mistakes, because I want to be entertained. The acting was good, the plot/character changes were interesting. I think that since we can comment/critique a movie or show, we need to tear it down. I see this as a reimagined start to the story, It gives more of a real start to a dysfunctional world, where they need to overcome their own issues so that they can see a little bit more of the big picture. Slap it around all you want, I hope Netflix commits to a couple more seasons at least, to let us in to the real adventure.",8 "I've been reviewing recently the first two batman , and when this one finally hit the newsgroup so i could steal it, i must say it was the disappointing son of the family. Of course, i didn't spend a dime for it, you did for me, that's cool. But even for a free movie i must say..the plot is stupid. Acting is stupid, even bale is above average. Fights are anticlimactic to say the least, and the villain.. ? a boy toy with a mask and an English lord accent ? 2:44 for..well i'm still not sure, the first two were brilliant, this one is average, nothing really to say, the legacy is tarnished. Just watch batman begins, then rise.. and you'll understand.",5 "This movie was as pretentious and empty as its titular menu. I enjoy dark humor and satire, which it is supposed to be, but I found it neither funny nor clever. At first, it was intriguing enough, but after a while I suspected that I wouldn't see anything more interesting than this surface intrigue. I was tempted to stop watching halfway through, but decided to wait and see if the movie had something more interesting to say in its second half. It didn't and it was a chore to watch it to the end. I was simply bored, which is the worst feeling to have in front of a movie. I would give it a lower score if it wasn't so beautifully filmed.",4 "I'm not sure which is harder to endure, the longing for a decent script, the anguish of the overfilled duck lips or the disgraceful attempts at a real Southern accent. Surely even Daniel Craig cringes like I do when he hears himself try to create all those extra Southern syllables that simply should not be there. I didn't expect much but this one is completely different than the first one in every way that is not for the better. The first one had a timeless quality and was filmed in a style which seemed almost couture. They threw all of that out of the window with this one and seemingly threw all taste and highbrow dialogue away with it.",3 "Spiderman 2 is just amazing. Even the titles are great (thanks to Mr. Alex Ross). Nice production, perfect timing, moments for drama or action, moments for romanticism, and some astonishing special effects. Spiderman 2 is one of those movies that worth the money they've spent on it. Sam Raimi has finally left behind the shadow of ""Evil Dead"" and makes clear that you can count on him to do anything (specially if you want to see a man jumping' from one NY building to another). Tobey Maguire perfectly plays the spider-man, and Kirsten Dunst is still MJ, Spiderman's beloved. They two make a wonderful couple. This time Alfred Molina plays the wicked one, and it's nice to see him playing such a different role (from those he uses to play). Cinema and comics have never get on well, but sometimes there's a perfect connection between them: Tim Burton's first ""Batman"", The Crow, and, of course, this Spiderman. My rate: 7.5/10",8 "I tried to like it, I really did. It is so slow and drags. The dialog and plot is very repetitive, especially Selena Gomez's frequently I'll timed dropping of the F bomb just for shock value. Can't see how they are dragging this out over 5 episodes. The plot seems to be going nowhere.",2 "...if you know the original books and the games. First of all: I do respect the work of the the actors and the crew. Henry Cavill is a great choice for Geralt. BUT: I was frustrated as I saw what the screenwriter have done to the Witcher-universe. In fact, they tried to make another GoT clone, with all the plottwists and cliffhangers. This was enhanced by a horrible miscast of some characters. The red path in the books and in the games was the moral dilemma Geralt had to deal with. The series tell us a completely different story. That's ok, I do respect that. Nevertheless I would not recommend this series for fans of the Witcher books and games universe. This is my opinion.",3 Better than other netflix action flicks. Stunts are good. Way too much story. Should have been one and twenty minutes long.,6 "If you like dark, sad, depressing movies with some action scenes like Nicholas Cage's Leaving Las Vegas, this movie is a 10/10 for you. For the rest of humanity, watch a preview of this and move on. Watching this whole movie, you have no idea who 80% of the cast is because they are all the same strong-arm goon-loan shark types, maybe that was the point? Kept waiting for it to get good, then credits rolled. Pass!",2 "I have never really been a huge fan of the Harry Potter franchise. I never read the books, but I did see all the movies so far. I didn't think of them as super or great, but not bad either. I would say, to me personally, they all hover around a 7.0. However this last 7.1 HP movie was really terrible. I am glad I did not pay for it (borrowed it) because what a ripoff it would have been if you paid money for this. I just turned it off after 1,5 hours after the whole woman snake scene... I just couldn't care to watch it further anymore. This movie is so slow, so boring, so uninteresting.... I don't see how even the fans could like this. I actually fell asleep on the couch during this movie, which is a personal first for me. Definitely the worst in the series... if you haven't seen it yet, don't bother. You have been warned :)",2 "How to brainwash the young generation in the name of entertainment, and start despising/belittling their culture - is the intent of this so called dark comedy. Avoid it",1 "WandaVision focuses on the adventures of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch(Elizabeth Olsen) & Vision(Paul Bettany), after the events of Avengers: Infinity War(2018) & Avengers: Endgame(2019). Wanda & Vision are living the perfect, idyllic suburban life. However, something is amiss & not everything is as it seems. WandaVision is an amazing show. Creator Jac Schaeffer, director Matt Shakman & Marvel head Kevin Feige, have kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Disney+ era, with the most unique, wacky & wonderful show, I've ever seen. One flaw with the episodic format of WandaVision is that, the action set pieces three episodes in, are virtually non-existent. Marvel Cinematic Universe adjacent shows like Daredevil(2015-2018), Jessica Jones(2015-2019), Luke Cage(2016-2018), Iron Fist(2017-2018), The Defenders(2017), The Punisher(2017-2019) & Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.(2013-2020) have action set pieces galore. I understand that they are paying homage to the classic sitcom era but, even one or two action set pieces in the first three episodes, would have made me happy. The highlight of the show is the suspense element, which keeps the viewer guessing as to why everything that's happening, is happening. Elizabeth Olsen is spectacular as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. Olsen portrays a myriad of expressions as her complex character, with ease & aplomb. Paul Bettany is outstanding as Vision. Bettany has given us a completely new take on Vision & I love it. Elizabeth Olsen & Paul Bettany share this adorable chemistry in all their scenes together. Kathryn Hahn is fantastic as Agnes. Teyonah Parris is brilliant as Geraldine. The supporting cast is great. WandaVision is worth a watch for all Marvel Cinematic Universe super fans. It's definitely getting better & better with each episode. However, don't start watching with sky high expectations.",9 "Here's a few tipbit about this movie: He managed to get the legendaries actors in HK to work, one in particular is the actual grandson of the famous Wong Fei Hong (the well-known martial artist, whom Jet Li played several times in the movies such as Once Upon A Time in China I, II, etc). I was blown away with the talent of his when he did Shaolin Soccer, I've watched many of his previous work, they all comedy like and enjoyable but it was as impressive to say it's THAT GREAT, Shaolin Soccer changed it, I've shown it to soo many friends and everyone enjoyed it, I still laugh out loud at the scene when the girl hits her head on the soccer field.. :) Kung Fu Hustle is a more traditional blend, Stephen is a big fan of Bruce Lee so he blended a few more interesting stuff, not to mention, if you have watched many movies coming out past years, Matrix, Kill Bill, etc, you would notice a similarity within, cause he tries to make it a more 'western' acceptable. I enjoyed the re-vamped of classical Chinese music with a contemporary flare, at first, it was hard to digest, but then it blended well... Obviously at some point you can tell the wire-fu connection but overall, this is a really enjoyable movie. Shaolin Soccer inspired me with its unique style which inspired me with my current film A Joker's Card while Kung Fu Hustle went to the next level of comedy mixing with kungfu fighting!",10 "THE FABELMANS (B) is a handsome film about the Fabelman family who are a fictional vessel for Steven Spielberg to tell his own semi-autobiographical coming of age story. Co-written by Spielberg and frequent writing partner Tony Kushner, Steven's analogue is Sammy Fabelman. There seem to be two major goals here, convey how Sammy was captivated by cinema very early on in his life and re-live how he used to make home movies during his adolescent into young adulthood. The second goal is to display the disenchantment of growing up, learning that your parents are faulty human beings (divorce plays a huge role in the film) and the world is a mean place. The two strands drive the film and ultimately come together in a pretty satisfying way by the end. That would be my key phrase for the film ""pretty satisfying."" As one would expect, the cinematography is beautiful, thoughtful, and always contains a shot or two that surprises in its power (this seems to come to Spielberg naturally). The score, art direction, and acting are all good too. At the end of the day though, it was all a bit...well pedestrian to me. The ""coming of age"" genre is filled with strong entries and as much as I love Spielberg, his story isn't all that exciting in cinematic terms - it's pretty satisfying. With the knowledge we have now about the things Spielberg feels was vital in his development, 2002's Catch Me If You Can is probably the more fascinating and insightful vessel for Steven than we thought then.",6 "CA:CW is one well produced piece of trash, a tuxedo on a turd. The core of this film is so completely void of substance, this film actually implodes in a series of poorly conceived scenes. Seriously? Was this move written by someone with English as their second language? Civil War is a clinic on bad writing: Dialog? flat and uninspired. Pacing? completely inconsistent and dictated by action scenes. Characters? superficial in ways that made likable characters in previous movies pale shadows of their former selves - i.e. this movie adds Nothing to these characters. Story??? a complete jumble of mismatched ideas, threads, and twists that ultimately results in a preposterous/(literally)unbelievable conclusion. Which brings me to my ultimate rant on a subsection of popular film that I have despised from the beginning: Comic Book Movies. I love comic books - and everything is already in place for great movie making. I mean FOR GODS SAKE comics not only give you the story arc & characters - comic books do the STORYBOARD FOR YOU!!! Comic books give all the content for great movies on a platter, so what do Hollywood producers do? Re-write! Re-imagine! Draw shadows of ideas from brilliant source material? It's pathetic, and insulting that this source has been mutilated, exploited, and perverted into what are generally nothing better than 2 hour TV episodes! Complete with *incomplete* story arcs where film makers have apparently forgotten what a movie IS! OK, this movie is for the most part pretty, and the action is often stunning - both in how it was conceived and executed. But even the quality of action drops off as the movie unfolds - the one thing this movie has to do well, it can't maintain. These reviews... its breaks my mind. What are people watching? What are they looking at? There isn't even a mirage of greatness here! The Spiderman character (for example) is an astonishing example of pointless exposition, throw away characters (complete with idiot, pull string dialog), and a troubling too common 'insert character' technique... that again, is actually a characteristic of bad film making! --and happens multiple times in this one movie! slick veneer and excellent action can't hide all the things this movie does wrong - the best 2/10 movie you will ever see",2 The animation is passable and Kodi Smit-McPhee does a credible job of acting but the overall effect is Ho-hum,4 "I'm not a comic book kind of guy so there's not much I can say about this one. I expected it to be boring and stupid but it's not. It's entertaining.. no more, no less.",5 "That's really all I have to say. Except for we do learn a bit more about dragons and that's always a good thing! And the dragons in this series are magnificent!! (most of the time..) Matt Smith is about the only saving grace, not his character, but Matt Smith, the actor. And Eve Best. They carry the shows continuity along nicely. The king had a fairly consistent 5 o'clock shadow that made him look .... tired and seedy. But mostly seedy. He wasn't terribly good GoT genetic material. IMHO. I agree with a lot of the reviewers who say that none of the characters are worth our effort to care about them. It's hard when really, all we see them do is screw and fight - in all sorts of places. However!!! They are all beautifully costumed (if they aren't stark naked!). Even the art in the queen's rooms is erotic. Someone had a fun time in set decoration!! I am watching this for costumes only. I do a lot of fast forwarding. Would I watch it again? No. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a go and see if it's for you. You might enjoy the costumes too!!",4 "Stephen Chow Sing Chi's Kung Fu Hustle may be the most satisfying film-going experience that Hong Kong film enthusiasts have dreamed for in recent years. Some viewers may attribute KF Hustle's greatness to Hong Kong film industry's lack of quality production in recent years, thus enabling KF Hustle to shine through. I don't see it this way. I believe the film's success owes mostly, if not entirely, to its own merits. I grew up watching Hong Kong (HK) movies. When I was a kid, I cherished what I saw on the screen--being a child was great, and HK cinema was larger than life to me. As I entered adolescence, I lost most of what I cherished: action sequences that once took my breath away started looking cheesy compared to the latest blockbuster; revered performances started to pale as they were mimicked. As I understood more about life and how movies were made, I never saw movies the same way again; I became more critical, and I thought the joy of becoming one with the movie would be lost forever. Yet I rediscovered this joy in Kung Fu Hustle, perhaps for the first time since childhood. Why is KF Hustle able to deliver the joy of pure entertainment to a broad range of audiences, from innocent kids to mature grown-ups? That is to say, how could watching KF Hustle enable an adult such as myself to take a trip back to childhood, remembering what it was like to truly cherish a film? I believe this is the result of several important elements employed by the film: firstly, Stephen Chow in making a film in the new millennium has not forgotten the old ways. The scenes in Pig Sty Alley employ a background score reminiscent to those in traditional martial arts films from decades before. In addition, Chow selects several classic kung fu actors as homage to the golden days of the genre (including Bruce Liang {Beast}--one of several Bruce Lee clones in the 70s who is perhaps most remembered for his roles in Fist of Fury and Legendary Fok TV series, and long-time sidekick Yuen Wah {Landlord}). These slick blast from the past strike a chord with older audiences while still managing to be refreshing to the young. Another element that makes this movie such a tour-de-force is the transcendence above genre conventions. KF Hustle embodies the quality of a martial arts feature, a comedy, an action flick, and occasionally borderlines a sci-fi/fantasy/special effects extravaganza. In fact, KF Hustle is ALL of this and NONE of it. What it is is nonstop exciting and unpredictable entertainment the whole way through, never letting audience involvement slip. When there's action, you never want to blink for a second; when the action isn't on, there is always comedy, suspense, or complex drama to keep us involved. In my book, Stephen Chow in crafting Kung Fu Hustle has reached the peak of perfection in film-making. In the ride, I was able to suspend my belief and FEEL Chow's magical world, the very same way I entered the universe of my fondest childhood films without critiquing little details, and that is just what we need sometimes. [10/10]",10 "How can I unsee this? What kind of disappointing garbage is that, hardly made it through ep 1, and still thought of giving a chance to the second episode, but that was as painful as the first. Where are original writers??? Why even to film that? Does anyone have answers to that? I'm so sorry to see those two characters( also actors) taking part in that.... Another waste of money by producing this cr...p 😣😩😡 What is happening to the film industry? Everyone has become lazy? Please no more!!!!",2 "I have watched this show more times than I can count,and I still find it entertaining. I don't think that any other show will match the humor and entertainment this one provides. I love every character, plot, and message. The quality of writing stays amazing up until the end. The animation is beautiful and meaningful. The juxtaposition of a group of kids playing and having fun in a war-torn work is so interesting, and it works very well. Every time I watch avatar it makes me happy and invested in the lives of the characters. Each character is different and becomes more complex as the series continues. Please watch this show no matter how old you are it will light up your day.",10 "I liked The Boys a lot and preferred it to The Umbrella Academy, although I like that show too. Lots of surprises and a subversive storyline, dark humour and fantastic acting by so many but especially Karl Urban. An impressive show, I am looking forward to season 2.",8 "This is my third disappointment with the spider series. Can't say it is really a waste of time but it is far from being a good one. I certainly hope for someone to takeover this project/series & do it like what Christopher Nolan did to Batman series. If you haven't seen the latest two Batman movies buy/rent the DVDs right away & see it for yourself. These movies have a taste. This is what spider-man fails to deliver. It tries gives you another perspective about Peter Parker which is over-dramatized by Andrew Garfield. I believe he is a poor choice for Peter Parker, however, still far better than Tobey Maguire. If you have a minute for spidey, please share this with your friends. Let Christopher Nolan to takeover!",4 Hi guys I'm just watched CA:CW and it's a good movie and also a good entertainer but as the critics are calling it as a master piece ooh !!! it's definitely not because the critics don't even know the meaning of masterpiece.and also the critics are calling the airport fight is the best fight scene.and also it's definitely not.because of shaky cameras and cheesy one liners .and the directors told the film will be more dark.But it's nowhere near the word dark but the pro's are the new additions.black panther is awesome and his suit looks amazing and the next is the friendly neighborhood Spiderman!but one con is the his suit is completely looked like cgi but overall it's a fun filled film,7 "This show had such potential. The production was spot on, the robot was fantastic, the acting was well above average, but OMG, so many things that made me cringe and think...""what?"". Each episode had at least 10 flaws, either through editing, storytelling or just plain writing. For example, when they were trying to traverse the erupting field with the fuel, how was the vehicle carrying the fuel able to keep up with the other one? Another thing...I was really disappointed in the fact that this is just another show that forces women and black people into roles that the original characters were not (Judy was not a black daughter from a previous inter-racial marriage...Dr. Smith was not a woman). This show is another victim of Hollywood trying to politically correct. Tangent - This reminds me of the movie ""12 STRONG"" about he ""horse soldiers"". One of the main characters ""Ben Milo"" is black. There were no black men in the original horse soldiers group, but Hollywood had to push it on us. Overall, Lost in Space 2018 was entertaining, but some scenes were tortuously and unnecessarily long. Three minutes to walk out of the cave? And the music...OMG. exhausting. So much dramatic music tends to become annoying, like so much of this show. Do better if you get a second season.",4 "Usual white saviour tropes. Story line is a cross between pocahontas and ferngully the last rainforest. It's financial success is built purely on social hype and visual effects. White male has to save native people and does everything better than native people even though rhe natives have been living their forever. He's so superior, the female natives fall for him. It's so cringe worthy it's painful to watch. The only good thing about the movie is the visual effects. But i don't this series will last the test of time. A film purely built on visual effects and nothing else, becomes worthless as visual effects improve. This movie is nothing more than overhyped social marketing trick.",4 "I'm sure you may be tired of hearing this, but Spider-man 2 really did surpass the original in every way. It is not a sequel, but a continuation of a story. People who aren't into comic book characters will love this and the fans will adore it. It is a blessing to have Sam Raimi at the helm, directing this movie in such a way that no one else could have done better. Michael Chabon, one of the best screen-writers known was on board and made a great contribution to the film. Incredible feats in this film include a wide-scale chase throughout an El-Train, the amazing transformation of Otto Octavius to Dr Octopus, and a brawl inside and out of a bank. Great acting, great story, awesome effects, and a marvelous script. This one takes the cake.",10 "I've not read the comics so i'm just viewing this from only a viewer's perception. it's not a perfect show but it's definitely a fun show. the acting, the music, the cgi are very well done. sometimes things could come off as cheesy but i think it's what they were going for so it works. it held my interest for the entirety of the 10 episodes. when it comes down to it, i'm excited for a season 2. you'll have a lot of fun with this show.",8 "Social satire retread that brought nothing new to the topic. It seems to have brought the topic back to the basics and to the beginning again, and that leaves me feeling as if we haven't learned anything. Maybe that is the ultimate point: class warfare is neverending. Heavy handed storytelling with moments of what I'm assuming are to be ""nuggets of wisdom"" giving insight to motivations in the class struggle. This has been done better and done with more thoughtfulness.",4 "What a movie epic in every sense, awesome and just wow . director has done his job very well and film is one of the best thrillers of all time .",10 "No-one who watches this film can help but be moved by the plight of the protagonist, as well as his fellow slaves. The mental, emotional and physical trauma of life as a slave is clearly evident, and well acted by the cast. This is a very well-made film, complete with the soundtrack of the hot, sticky, insect-infested southern States, which draws you further into the scene. What disturbed me most about this film, aside from the fact that it is based upon a true story, is how this movie dredges up old hatreds, pains and sufferings that are best left in the past, and allowed to heal. I cannot help but think that this movie was engineered to win Academy Awards - which it certainly will do. However, film-makers do have a responsibility to ensure their work does not cause harm, whether directly or implied. What this film does is inflame anger and hatred in a new generation of African-Americans where it did not exist before, thereby carrying forward divisive and destructive feelings for years to come. In summary: An excellent movie, but the single-minded pursuit of Oscar glory may have blinded the Producers/Director to the negative effect it will have, and thus undoing the hard work of many since slavery was abolished; e.g. reversing the uplifting and uniting feelings brought by films such as Spielberg's 'Lincoln'.",8 "I was very excited about the start of the show. Then suddenly the story is stretched awfully long with a bad ending. Whoever is responsible fit this, please stop making TV Shows.",4 Good show but the show is to short for a week to week drop. Hulu should have invested a little more into it. I didn't know I would have fall in love with it.,9 "best show i've ever seen So funny to read reviews of people who Hated it... all of them say something like ""I watched the 1st episode and...bla bla""...indeed the 1st episode is the most scandalous of them all...maybe that's why they made it episode 1? If you don't like this, this show isn't for you...go watch breaking bad or something",9 "I've not walked out of a lot of movies, but I've seen enough to know one worth leaving before the ending. I stayed right the way through Gatsby to see if it really was this poor, right to the end. It was. Before the story-line, the casting, the soundtrack, screenplay and photography all mash together to ruin the rest of the film, it is already bruised by needless 3D. This complete headache of a movie was remedied only slightly when I removed the specs after the first ten minutes. Nearly impossible to watch, completely unnecessary. So we're on the back foot already, and Luhrmann hasn't even dropped Jay-Z and Kanye West over a 1920s New York crane-shot yet. Before long, you're thrown some dub-step for absolutely no apparent reason. The list goes on, and becomes even more frustrating the more 'Now 83' is piped over the screenplay. This is supposed to be an epic tale of grandeur, love, greed and jealousy. Where's the orchestra? This story deserves a score, not a pop chart. The theme of laziness continues with the editing. Lip-sync quality is sporadic, there are times when DiCaprio's speech is cut at the beginning so you can't understand his sentence. Where tension could be built with music and proper acting, we have scenes with characters just breathing at one another. My three stars go to the only actor worth casting for a role in this movie; Joel Edgerton. He excelled where the rest of the entire cinema experience collapsed, in 3D, around him.",3 "Captain America: The Winter Soldier, film number 9 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a most relevant one at that. The directors, producers and writers all said it was the one that followed most closely to The Avengers and would go almost directly into Avengers: Age of Ultron and all-in-all a big game-changer; they weren't kidding. The movie is unlike the rest, it doesn't quite seem like a Marvel movie most of the way through but rather a really unique spy movie, which it is. The plot is extremely well done, I loved it from beginning to end, very good points that flowed the story and even some twists that pleasantly surprised me. The new characters they brought in were fantastic, the Falcon I especially enjoyed, his character was cool, comedic, and just an enjoyable person to watch; Robert Redford's political character was also on top form although the characters' traits and ambitions I have seen in other movies. Now talking of characters, the movie's subtitle the Winter Soldier was a fantastic, unique character who's life was deep and interesting to watch, the majority may know of his true identity already as Marvel haven't really done anything to cover it up as it is obvious from about 5 mins of casting research, but I felt the character wasn't used as much as I thought; his name is in the title but his story isn't the main arc, he was in less scenes than I expected. Another disappointer for me was that the climax seemed to have a lot more violence than previous ones, not as graphic as Thor: TDW, but certainly quite strong, almost distracting - although that may have been the cinema experience. In the end I thought Captain America: The Winter Soldier was one of the best of the MCU, and even Marvel movies in general.",10 Not at all entertaining. I don't understand the hype about this movie. They even made the class actor Rajkumar Rao look bad.,1 "Shahrukh deserves an oscar for this Masterpiece. His eye,His coolness,his performance everything was so good. I am a muslim and I want to say same thing ""My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist""",10 It made a lot of money and that's this concludes my review,4 "The idea of a hacker transported into a computer having to destroy an evil program was brilliant. But something was missing in ""TRON"". A more developed story, substantial dialogs and, yes, a director capable to do his job in a better way than Steven Lisberger, master and commander of this sadly overrated movie. How in the world Disney green lighted such a good project in the hands of an amateur? I'm dazzled with the positive reviews of the many viewers of this wrecked project quoting that this was an underrated film when the time of its release. Sorry, that's not just the case. The story wasn't that appealing as ""Matrix"" was. The real life sequences were far more interesting than the whole visual effects side, that got overlong, boring, and nowadays dated. I was trying not to sleep in many parts of that long race between the characters (something like a car chase scene but instead of cars running chips and programs chasing each other). Jeff Bridges holds this movie very well and David Warner plays the usual villain as he almost always does. But, if you want to see these two actors in a good movie go rent ""The Big Lebowski"" (in which Bridges star) or ""Time After Time"" (an awesome sci-fi movie starring Warner as villain). I only watched this movie because: 1) In 2005, The Strokes (one of my favorite rock bands) made a video clip for the song 12:51 in which ""TRON"" was used as reference to the whole thing. Very Interesting by the way. And 2) I heard that ""TRON Legacy"" is going to be released this year so I thought ""Let's see what this movie has of interesting"". And the result came to nowhere. And I'm glad that Supertramp, another of my favorite groups, wasn't available to contribute to songs in this wreck. The music in the movie, by the way, is so strangely executed. The dated visual effects has some charming things that remind us of the 1980's with a twinkle in the eyes. After all who doesn't love the movies of that decade? I loved the visual concept of the movie along with the brilliant and themed costume designs (Oscar nominated). But its slowed rhythm story and its lack of expectation, lack of a better climax just ruined the movie for me. I hope that ""TRON Legacy"" became a better project. At least, I know it's going to be because Lisberger is not directing the movie, but his hands are in the screenplay again so let's hope he makes something good this time. 2/10",2 "Not the worst movie I have watched, I just can't remember what movie was worse. I gave it 90 minutes and that was torturous and I am baffled how people are rating it 9's and 10's. I was excited to watch this movie and did not laugh once.",2 "Decent whodunnit with great comedic actors that we really haven't seen much from in the last ten years I like anything with steve Martin so if you like him you'll like this Selena Gomez is nothing special in this basically just used her fame (smartly I might add) to bring relevance to this worthy show Worthwhile watch you won't be dissatisfied or bored.",7 "Some say it is a masterpiece, if it is a master piece what was Godfather? I know the genre is different, but every genre has to achieve that high bar in order to be called masterpiece, so anyone who says it is a masterpiece has no idea of how a masterpiece looks like. Many said it is depressing, again I felt it is not at all depressing, it is a very simple script, very linear ,no twists, no mysteries, sometimes funny, just the bad guys chasing a mutant girl who is being protected by Logan. Everything else around are to spice up this very linear moments in the life of decaying wolverine. If you are thinking this is a movie that you will remember after even like a week and miss, then you are wrong. This movie is worth watching one time, just one time. But is it necessary movie that I will say you should watch this before you die kind of movie? Not at all. You can miss out on this one and you will miss nothing important in life. I give it rating of 6 because I have seem better and more deep movies which kept me thing hours after watching the movie rated less than 7. So 6 is a good rating for this movie. Now why is it rated 8 or more? I have no clue how IMDb works who comes and reviews these movies, it got a 8 because I suppose it is Wolverine. Wolverine is a character already developed, new characters in the movie had no emotional influence on me at all including the girl. If I think deeply about that I will rate it less than 6 but I am just gonna be generous and keep my 6 rating. Thank you.",6 "Who would've thought that the pro-feminist and women empowerment TV show would trample on a real chess players career and her achievements? Nona Gaprindashvili was a prominent chess player and has beaten dozens of men in the chess world, grand masters among them. She's not Russian also, she was born during oppressive Russian regime in Georgia. And is still a Georgian citizen today. But for ""The Queen's Gambit""? She's merely a newbie who hasn't done anything for women. What a load of barnacles this Show and their producers are. Just another money hungry, hiding behind some ague values they think they have.",1 "I was so surprised at how kiddyish this show was. I knew it would be a generic Netflix show with their typical style and flavours restricting it from being anything too original, but I didn't know just how ""Young Adult"" and silly it would be. I guessed every single twist and every single reason for everything and I wasn't even trying. It was all too obvious. The monster looked laughable, and the drama... Honestly this show reminded me of Stargirl or something else from the CW. It's rated 15+ but it's just SO kiddyish and silly. The character Wednesday has had everything interesting and kooky about her stripped away and now she's just some Daria clone who just talks without emotion and has no other defining character trait. This looked and felt way too silly for a show supposed to be for older teens and adults. It's feels like a show that was made for a 13 year old girl. Extremely unsatisfying show that took everything fun and kooky about Addams family and just made a Netflix cookie cutter Riverdale/Stargirl clone that is predictable as heck, and insanely kiddyish. Ps. Take a shot every time someone says 'Patriarchy' in this show or any other Netflix produced series, and you'd be dead. Bonus shots for 'mansplaining' to really seal the deal. Seriously, Netflix is cringe.",4 "'Attack on Titan' is an anime series based on 'Hajime Isayama's' manga series of the same name.The series takes place in a dystopian world where humans have been pushed to the brink of extinction by large man eating giants known as titans and follows 'Eren Jaeger' a young military soldier and orphan who wants to avenge his mother's death by killing all the titans.From the get go attack on titan establishes itself as a high octane action horror story with tons of violence and graphic content but there is much more to it than meets the eye.This show that started with a simple monster hunting premise soon evolves into a story involving politics,religion and racism,paired with some great character growth and constantly developing character relationships turns into one of the best dark fantasies to be ever written.The writing is not the only good thing about this show as this show also excels in the technical department with fantastic animation from 'Studio Wit',a gorgeous soundtrack and amazing sound design. I would recommend 'Attack on Titan' to anybody who is even remotely interested in a dark fantasy story line despite of the fact of weather you like anime or not.I can assure you that if you give it a chance 'Attack on Titan will not disappoint.",9 "Sony keeps making these awful movies - nobody who's a fan of the comic or great story telling wrote this movie. The action sucks, the character of the symbiote sucks. They have world class actors - but this is the bear minimum of a studio saying ""let's make a comic book movie"" and assuming that's good enough to have characters many of us already know. I guess what I'm saying is enjoy Morbius.",2 "PROS Excellent cast, particularly Milly Alcock. Political intrigue, violence and sex. Faithful to Martin's work. CONS",8 "I bought a subscription to Showtime just to watch this since it's been hyped so much and I love JLC and Michelle Yeoh. I'm only an hour into the movie and I do not see what the hype was about. I'm going to finish it because my card was already charged the monthly fee but I don't have high hopes at all that it will suddenly be a great movie. I just had to pause the movie and come to the reviews cause I knew I couldn't be alone in thinking how absurd and just stupid this movie is. Also, why is there a required character limit now to post reviews? I'm only typing out all this to fulfill it. DUMB!",2 "The 1st ep wasn't that good. It wasn't full of action like some of the reviews are saying, just 1 scene. Hopefully it will become better like WandaVision",7 "If you are an Addams Family fan, don't watch this expecting that same family you know and love. This is simply put another in an endless line of established known titles used for an easy. Segway.. i cant even begin to. Emphasize how unfamiliar these Addams? Are from their original counterparts. Typical, rehashed modern day stale toast, served up just how they like it. Truly anyone who thinks this.is fantastic or anything above 5 stars must also think. Space Jam 2 was a cinematic coup. I really went into this with an open mind, praying the feeling i already had from the cast and previews was premature, but oh no. My spidey senses were right on the money. True This Addams Family doesnt have to be like any of the others, but at least carry on some sort of reminiscent feeling that made so many watch this in the first place. Watcher Beware. This is try hard central. Or look we dressed up as Addams for Halloween, arent we cool?",4 "The first half of Spider Man 1 was brilliant because the characters seemed real and deep. It was OK for Peter Parker to get dirty (like the hobbits in LOTR). He was just a regular guy. There was no melodrama, the film didn't take itself seriously. But the second half was a lot of computer graphics combat and cheesiness that didn't work for me. Spider-Man 2 fixes all that. The Spider-Man costume is allowed to get torn. There's plenty of self-deprecating humor. Jamieson is brilliant. I'm not much of a comic book guy. I used to be when I was a kid, but there's a limit, you know? At about the point when some cartoonist says ""maybe the gorilla has a third eye and he's got a gem instead of a heart and the whole universe is at stake again"" when you just gotta sigh and give up comic books to kids. Anyway, I prefer real drama these days. I saw X-Men and X-Men 2 but thought it was a little too over the top. Spider-Man 2 is not like that. If you're skeptical of cartoons you can see it as a straight action flick or even as a drama. The only faults I might draw are that there is possibly too much plot packed in, and I just didn't sense a great romantic chemistry. Who should see this film: -- All action flick people & comic book types -- Older kids -- Drama people, put on sunglasses and go slumming, you will enjoy this film and I won't tell I'll give Spider-Man 2 an 8 out of 10.",6 "This show might be good for a selective audience. Not for me; after hearing it was intended to be a Game of Thrones killer I was left very unimpressed. The writing is not even close to GOT.. poor development of key characters and unnecessary humor that made the show less serious and unappealing. I finished season 1 but will not be a returning viewer if it makes it to season 2. Most times I agree with the viewers and consider critic reviews to be excessively harsh... this time around, I am 100% with the critics... this is not going to be the epic show they perhaps thought it would be... unless they get rid of stupid characters like Jaskier (the bard)... toss a coin to your Witcher? And Henry Cavil's hair and makeup?.... someone needs to get fired.",5 "I thought 6 underground was a bad movie but when compare to Extraction 6 underground is far better Things I hate about this movie 1. Zero character development 2. Bad acting (except Chris) 3. No plot 4. Mindless action 5. How come the bad guys appears everywhere our hero goes",4 "Hey Guys It's Quinn C from Youube. Well first off, the visuals in this film are absolutely stunning. I saw this film in a bad theatre, a dome theater if you've ever been in one of those, but even still the visuals were awesome. CAnd the score, although I believe it to be pretty bad and I'll explain in a bit as to why, but the score literally shook the building, so this film really was an experience more than anything else. I truly believe that this film can only be truly viewed in a theatre. But my god, it turned ugly for this film real quick. The first reason was the audio was difficult to hear a lot of the times. Not only was there I guy shouting 'WOW' or 'HES BEHIND THE BOOKCASE' who sat next to me, but the score was so damn loud that you can't hear what people are saying. But then again people argue that this film isn't about the dialogue, but the message. Fair enough, fair enough. My main problem with this film and why I dedicate an entire video to it is because the ending is arguably the most infuriate, devoid of logic, waste of 3 hours of potential that has ever existed on this planet. Heavy spoilers right here, but you've had time for this film so here it is: After narrowly escaping 'Dr Man', ending the most obviously forced message outside of murf saying 'man is corrupted and destroyed the planet', McConaughey goes into a black hole, unharmed, to send morse code message to his daughter through a book case in another dimension to tell her the secrets to the universe. Through love. He then gets to his daughter, who basically tells him to go away. and then the movie ends. I'll just give a moment for that to soak in. OK, what is the purpose of having an entire movie based heavily on science, and I mean heavy, just for a series of bull things to occur for no reason at all. First of all, going to the bottom of a pool hurts your head, so how a black hole wouldn't crush McConaughey immediately is beyond me. But fine I'll let it go. Then, to have him send morse code because love permits him, and then to crush the entire theme of the film by having murf flip him off basically just makes no sense. It also doesn't work cause McConaughey doesn't care about his son the entire time, the crew gets screwed because they love people which bits them in the ass, but after all of this love is the only way for McConaughey to send his message to murf at the end. So what I'm trying to say is that this film is just a bunch of contradictions. It uses science to explain stuff but then uses love to propel the plot, people use love to do stuff but it never benefits them, and love is ultimately how McConaughey gets home, just for him to leave again within 10 minutes. Now there are parts I love. I thought everything on the ocean planet was great, the robot thing was awesome, and the first 2 hours were great, but the ending is so infuriating and borderline paradox like that the film ends up making no sense. Now please don't say I don't get the film. I got the film 100%, it's just this movie literally makes no sense. You can't just go into a black hole and survive, and if your father comes back to you after 100 years, you aren't just gonna push him out of the room. The scientists act on emotion, not logic like most all astronauts, and overall, this film just bothers me then brings any joy. Unlike blade runner which I'd probably like after another viewing, this film will always go down as my biggest disappointment of a film; With a score of 5.6, you should just stop watching as soon as mr man dies, trust me.

I loved this from the moment it started and I only paused once to eat and shower. It would have got 10 stars if it wasn't for one of my pet dislikes, a bizarre London accent. Karl Urban's weird Kiwi/London accent made me cringe with every line he uttered. He joins Johnny Depp, Elijah Wood, Don Cheedle and, Charlie Hunnam in my London accent hall of shame.",9 "Brilliant acting by Vicky Kaushal, yami, and all. When I was watching this movie, I feel that I am watching Hollywood war movie... Really fantastic..!",9 "Let's be honest, it's a fairly mediocre movie. Entertaining, I'll grant you, but profound? No way. Not much here in terms of innovative or even creative film-making either. Is it one of the most popular films of all time? Probably. At least of recent time. Is it the greatest film ever made? Don't make me laugh. That said, I'm glad people can enjoy this movie. I won't watch it again, but I don't exactly regret it.",4 "The theme is similar to KOTA Factory series. But, I feel the emotions and sentiments has been overdone in the last 2 episodes. Some scenes are just bang on and hit on the nail like the discussion over Plan B. But, the group studies and romantic track does not quite set in. Overall, interesting to watch and good brand promotion to Unacademy!!",7 "A 13 year old boy would do a better job of weaving this together. It's too disjointed & florescent. They should have made a romantic comedy from the off; especially with that cast.",4 "I was mostly impressed by season 1. Murderous, abusive superheros operating under the protection of a multi-billion conglomerate is just good times. The underdog ordinary people in the resistance are all deeply flawed, but you can't help but root for them. There is plenty of gore and WTF moments. if you're not profoundly disturbed at least twice per episode, you should consider seeking mental help. Season 2 is nearly perfect. Stormfront's social media misinformation campaigns is timely and explains how the most insidious elements of our society spread lies to sow confusion and control the uninformed. Highly recommended, if you have a strong stomach.",9 "Another Judd Apatow produced film-so its another question of why did I bother seeing it when it clear I'm not going to be happy. Okay its not bad but it didn't thrill me. In a nutshell Peter is a composer for TV series. His girlfriend is Sarah Marshall the hot star of a hot cop show. She dumps him for a Lothario singer and he pines for her. He then goes off to Hawaii and ends up at the same resort that the ex and her new beau end up at. For me the problem is, as with Knocked Up, I can not understand what the two main characters, here Peter and Sarah, are doing together. Peter is a sweet schulb of a guy and she is twit, a babe but a bit shallow. What are they doing together? Or rather why is she with him in the first place? I kind of lost respect for the originality for the film when Peter is seen in one of the first scenes sitting on the couch with a huge bowl of cereal letting himself go until Sarah calls, he then goes and straightens himself out. But its been done before, why are we doing it again? Give the filmmakers points for showing Peter naked a couple of times (in places he really would be naked-which made sense to me but cause much of the audience to laugh around me, I'm guessing from nervousness) but take a good many away from not being creative enough to stay out of the cliché rut. I did like the final bits of the film which actually seemed to have real characters and situations but I getting to that point was a chore. Its clear that the creative team can make a winning romantic film as evidenced from several of the final scenes, but for me it was too little too late. Your mileage may vary. As for me I must learn to stay away from anything Judd Apatow touches.",4 "Yet another unoriginal bland superhero movie packed full of clichés blah blah blah blah. I'll start off by saying that I'm aware that these movies are supposed to be fun and not taken all too seriously, but I'm sorry, that is not a sufficient excuse for such an effortless straight up boring script and narrative throughout many recent (and particularly this) Marvel films that have come about, aside from maybe Ant-Man and Deadpool it seems like these movies are just carbon copies of each other each more unoriginal and irrelevant than the last, and yet critics eat up this uninspired drivel over and over. There is almost nothing unique about this film, and this is coming from someone that is relatively familiar with the civil-war comic books, this film lacks any of the depth, complexities or tension that was contained in the source material. Characters are completely one dimensional and never get seriously hurt, knowing they will never die takes any suspense away from the drawn out CGI fight-scenes completely. The narrative and dialogue is just poorly written and beyond all entirely dull, there aren't even character arks, its just damn bland badly written story with no outstanding qualities at all. I find it extremely difficult to care about any of these characters really especially given the comically black and white nonsensical positions that start this very anti-climactic ""Civil War"" to begin with. There isn't really more to say, if you like ultimately uninteresting mindless action films I suppose you might like this, but thats all that can really be said for it. There are many characters that aren't even one-dimensional and they borderline on figures to fill the screen and plot-devices *cough cough* Falcon and Hawkeye *cough cough* The brand new spiderman is somehow manages to be even worse than Garfield's even with his very limited and completely unnecessary addition to the movie, his costume is Green-Lantern level bad, anyone who says differently is lying to themselves. Thats my take, truthfully I hated this movie, and this is coming from someone who, for the most part enjoyed the last Avengers movie for what it was, but the fact that these glaring flaws continue to be ignored by moviegoers and critics alike is nothing short of maddening.",2 "The recent Netflix binging audience that has cropped up in India has long been quenching their thrust with imported series like Narcos, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, etc. Finally, with Sacred Games, we have a dark, Gritty, Noir Genre tale with the Desi Tadka. It's going to entice the Indian audience with a different, more realistic and darker treatment to an Indian Subject, at the same time it has a lot to offer to the global audience and put Indian cinema across the globe. The things I loved about the series: 1. The ensemble cast - Right from the protagonist to antagonist the team has hit the right chord in the casting. While Nawaz, Saif, and Radhika did as expected, I was highly impressed with the supporting cast of Bunty, Parulkar, Zoya, Malcolm, Bhonsale to name a few. Every single person has played their role with a Gusto. 2. The direction - Well, it's directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane without the curse of Censor board. 3. Production Value - The series has a much better look than most of the movies produced in India, Netflix has really upped the game. 4. Music - The background score, it's one of the nuances which adds a lot of impacts but may not be very visible watching it for the first time. I ended up watching this series twice over the weekend and can't stop gushing over it. People may be appalled by the language, but then it's a noir genre series showcasing the dirty belly of the Mumbai, and with the audience, they are targeting with the series, it should not be a problem. I was very much impressed with Saif, who was excellent as determined but Vulnerable police officers, he finally gets the scope to flex his muscle as an actor, and he does not disappoint. Hope this Serial open up avenues for other Indian filmmakers to finally make cinema that suits the 21st century. The creativity has long been gobbled up with number crunching at the weekend, and serving crappy cinema. Finally, Netflix has freed them from the shackles.",8 "Went into this completely open minded having no idea what the film was about and hadn't even heard of it before but it was on BBC iPlayer late when I couldn't sleep. I'm partially deaf and watched mostly without being able to hear which is just as well cos I don't care for jazz and would have probably found the jazz heavy, lengthy drum rape a bit too much. As a musician and former student to an abusive, vile bully like this, I got what it was doing or aiming to do and distinctly felt a lot of what the students felt during classes. I just didn't buy into the characters or their stories at all. Initially I bought Andrew's desperate hopes to impress this legendary music teacher everyone fears but respects. I recognised and bought Fletcher's abrasive and vile personality, the harsh, unnecessary and physically abusive practices because I know that very sort one of whom was head at the school of music I attended. It all went tits up and lost me when the two characters became unbelievable and did what would directly contradict and conflict with their natures. Fletcher's abuse increases to physical violence and assaulting students one of whom we later discover has killed himself and it wasn't checked or picked up on at all until things reached a head with Andrew who pasted him and was kicked from the school but not before helping to bring a case and see Fletcher loses his job. Andrew has given up on his dreams and drums but happens to stumble on Fletcher playing in a bar and I bought his initial intrigue, curiosity or willingness to at least speak with his former teacher. Fletcher seemingly having awareness and acknowledging his faults was immediate suggesting it was genuine because his vile temper and inability to curb and control it wouldn't have enabled him to think so quickly on his feet and have that whole act ready to roll out. When he invited Andrew to join him, this confident, self-assured kid that flattened him in front of everyone and cost Fletcher his job suddenly became the keen, eager and totally naïve young first year student all over again. He'd been robbed of his dreams and given up on his passions solely because of Fletcher so it made zero sense to me that he'd allow him the chance to do it all over again in a hurry - and yet he did. When Fletcher was setting him up for complete failure and humiliation, I could see how that might happen but not how things went from there. Andrew had the balls to refuse to let Fletcher win, goes back on stage, picks up his sticks and drums like it was the last time he'd ever drum which fit his character. Fletcher has a few brief outbursts in anger then suddenly takes Andrew's sheer defiance and attitude as something worthwhile, visibly reacts and encourages Andrew to really go for it which he does. Then two men are supposed to have met each other on equal playing fields, found mutual respect with Andrew the next Charlie Parker and Fletcher the reason for it? That just would not have happened. I know teachers, trainers and instructors in many areas and disciplines that believe you have to push someone harder and beyond what they think is their limit in order for them to achieve more than they ever thought possible. I'm sure there's an element of this being true and in many cases an approach that does work because you have to step outside the comfort zone to find where the magic happens. This level of accepted bullying and abuse is pretty common in the performing arts and as I say, it's something with which I have a lot of experience but it's much less obvious, seldom physical, usually a psychological, emotional stripping of someone's confidence and self-assurance under the guise of them only aiming to push students so they can reach their full potential. I would have believed and been on board were Fletcher either less physical and / or if Andrew had less balls which would account for him putting up with Fletcher. Neither of the two men would tolerate each other let alone discover a new, sudden mutual respect, understanding and appreciation on an equal basis.",5 "If I hadn't seen with a friend, I would have done. Going into this movie I had basically zero expectations and they were basically met. The characters are boring, cardboard and fake; the plot relies on nothing but coincidence, luck and bizarre occurrences; none of the jokes landed except maybe one; the CGI monster fights were horrendous. Overall, I found this movie to be very boring-its ability to put you to sleep is unrivalled in our mortal world. It's just boring.",2 "Well, now I know that the way to succeed in racing is get by your rival and give him a dirty look. Great acting and this movie looks fantastic, let down by the script. And anyone who thinks Ferrari was the ""underdog"" really didn't follow racing in the 60s. Yeah, Ford outspent Ferrari, but money doesn't equal wins, or Ferrari would dominate F1 today.",5 "I didn't know what to expect going in, but I didn't expect to laugh as hard as I did. The script is so clever, and there are lines that will stick with me! I'm still laughing just thinking about some parts. It is such good satire that will certainly make you reflect. The film has important things to say behind the humour. It reveals some truths about the publishing industry (and beyond), and shows that really the power is with us as readers to show publishers what we really want to read! In fact, I can't wait to pick up the book this film is based on. The acting is sublime from everyone. I just wanted to watch is again as soon as it finished. I mean that ending....",9 "Maybe the show should be Canceled. I noticed the reviews on this page calls him a Super Hero but, every fight he has he gets his Ass beat and Hurt! Lol! Some Super Hero!",3 "Skip every scene with Parker Posey. No one needs that in their life. After one or two episodes, you've seen all you need to of her. She's a great actress which makes her scenes unwatchable. And unenjoyable. It doesn't seem to affect the story if you skip all her scenes. Hope they write her off for the second season. Skip her. And Netflix, everyone I talk to doesn't know if they'll continue the series because of her. Her character is too much.",3 "One reason I love movies is the `goose bump moment' the really good ones give me. Like when it's revealed who Keyser Söze is, or when Rick tells Ilsa to get on the plane with her husband, or when the helicopters glide above breaking waves with ""The Ride of the Valkyries"" blaring. The moment can be heart-warming, exhilarating, or a revelation that causes you to make a mental ""ah-HA!"" Regardless of the type, these are the moments I crave for and are rarely rewarded with these days in movie theaters. I did not expect it in a big SFX-laden summer blockbuster, but was pleasantly surprised to be rewarded with such a moment in `Spider-man 2'. I won't go into what that scene was, but I will say that the entire movie seem to be built on reaching this point. The payoff was chilling (thus the goose bumps) and heart-warming at the same time. And as a result, this movie (Unlike `Shrek 2') actually lived up to the expectations the glowing reviews impressed upon me.",9 "Many have rated this movie highly. I respect their views but without being in agreement. A movie cannot be glorified just because it has a couple of big names in it. Tarantino's trade mark of a highly stylised manner over substance has well and truly over-exceeded expectations with his latest offering. Boring, pointless, unsatisfying, desperately trying to hold some cohesion in the story line but fails miserably, leaving the viewer wondering what was all that about after wasting an unnecessarily tedious 2 hours and 40 minutes of utter cinematic displeasure and annoyance.",3 "I may spend more time writing this comment than any of the 26 others I have completed for IMDb. For one thing, I really need to examine why I have such a totally negative view of this movie, which many others adore so. I do think they must either be 12-year-olds, or older folk with their mental development permanently stunted, stuck forever at the 12-year-old level. Sorry, but that's really the way I feel about anyone who raves about ""The Matrix"". It is sad that I'll spend (waste) my time in this way. Certainly, there are worse movies in the same genre. One example is ""Equilibrium,"" which has achieved the dubious distinction being one of only two films, the other being ""Bloody Sunday,"" with my ""2 out of 10"" rating. Only ""Narc"" got a lower rating (obviously, a ""1"") in my list of IMDb voted-on films. I think that pegs The Matrix at a ""3"", although that may indeed be too generous. I think Keanu Reeves is, generally, a good actor, although many, if not most, of the films in which he has appeared do scant justice to what acting ability he possesses. ""Speed"" comes to mind; a very bad movie. And Reeves definitely comes off as badly in The Matrix as he did in Speed. On the other hand, the relatively unknown film ""Johnny Mnemonic,"" although it obviously falls far short of fulfilling the wild vision of William Gibson's fine short story, gets at least my mild applause; Reeves was as good as he gets in that film, I think. And, guess what? For his Johnny Mnemonic effort, Reeves was nominated for the Razzie Award, as worst actor of the year! I don't know what you call the genre, if only one exists, for The Matrix and Equilibrium. Science Fiction? Cyber-Noir? Impossible Future-Fantasy Kung-Fu? ""Dark City,"" I think, also belongs to this indeterminate genre, but Dark City resides at the best end of its spectrum, as opposed to the other two, which are so abysmally bad they inspire nausea in me. The stunningly beautiful images of Dark City stand in huge contrast to the formulaic shallowness of The Matrix. Well, there can be no comparison, really. Dark City is a great film; The Matrix just isn't. I will try to explain why I have these starkly-opposed opinions... I believe there ought to be at least three criteria for rating any film: Screenplay, Acting, and Production. Of the three, Acting must be at least a bit more important than the other two. Good acting can go far towards rescuing marginal writing or poor production. And bad acting can absolutely ruin an otherwise excellent story and image. The Matrix: The acting is unconvincing. Screenplay: Shallow, displaying no redeeming or memorable story. Production: Dominated by gratuitous special effects, which have little relation to furthering what story there is. I just decided to drop this project. The Matrix deserves no more of my time. 3 out of 10. Finis.",3 "Not a big fan of Natasha Lyone, but this is a great vehicle for her. She truly shines in this and I loved it. I kept waiting to see The Guy from High Maintenance to show up here as it had that vibe for me, and I mean that in a good way. More Greta Lee please! She so funny, talented and drop dead gorgeous!",8 "With just 2 characters, 3 if you count Ed Harris's voice in the darkness, ""Gravity"" asks a lot of both the actors and audience to sustain interest in a technically impressive but not dramatically impressive exercise. Basically, 2 astronauts, Clooney at his charming best and Bullock (kind of dowdy in this one), try to find a means of survival after a cascading series of space disasters. That's it as far as story - somewhat reminiscent of Hemingway's ""The Old Man and the Sea"" in terms of minimalist plot. The obvious rigging, digital and blue screen motion capture impress in the same way they impressed in James Cameron's ""Avatar"". However, like the big blue aliens with human boobs, Bullock doesn't have a ton of witty dialog or plot twists to work with and much of her actions consist of twisting knobs, flipping switches and the like. Much of her emotions come down to desperation and exasperation. Much has been made of the technical holes but no talks about Bullock's character's admission that she is still deeply affected by the death of her daughter in a traffic accident. How did that make it past the psychological review before she was sent in space? In short, far more of a technical achievement than a great story.",7 I went to see an action movie and all I got was a boring beginning that didn't start picking up into the end which I didn't' get to see cause I was sleeping through it. I love Kirsten Dunst she's a great actress very pretty too. I mean could they make the movie seem more realistic. Daredevil was more realistic and I still believe that it was a better movie than the two Spidermans combined. Tobie Maguire isn't' that great of an actor and he just flat out stunk again. The only reason I went is because my family went and the only worthwhile thing was seeing how beautiful Kirsten Dunst looks like in a wedding dress. By the way it was so easy for her to figure out that he was spiderman she knew it at the end of the first why didn't they go into that instead of drawing it out and having her engaged to some wack off in NASA.,1 "GRADE: C- THIS FILM IS NOT RECOMMENDED. IN BRIEF: Despite some gorgeous cinematography and two strong and committed performances, the movie is slightly more grueling for moviegoing audiences to endure than its two fine actors. JIM'S REVIEW: In comes the ominous fog that hangs over the film like a shroud of doom and gloom. Two seafarers stationed on a remote island tend to a lighthouse and descend into madness in critical darling Robert Eggers' mood piece, The Lighthouse. The film is one of the best lensed film of the year and one of most pretentious films of any year. There is an aura of mystery from the start. But eeriness can only take you so far. The story has to be there. It's not. Moviegoers spend nearly two hours watching two 19th century lighthouse keepers named Ephraim and Thomas play a battle of witlessness as they argue, bicker, eat, drink, and fart their way through the stormy days. The screenplay by Max Eggar and the director is pure tedium as it depicts events that are real or imagined. Some may call the resulting narrative poetic and haunting. Not me. I was bored by the lack of action and squirmed at the overblown dialog. (The audience around me sat silently throughout, which led me to believe they were either in rapt attention or fast asleep. I think the latter.) This is High Art, the kinda going experience in which critics are bowled over by the visual beauty. And let me say right here that Janin Blaschke's cinematography is absolutely stunning and deserving of an Oscar. He shoots the movie in a square Movietone format, similar to films from the silent movie era, in glorious black & white tones. Every scene is beautifully composed and artistically rendered. Special mention also goes out to Craig Lathrop's moody production design. It seems that a new genre of artful independent films has officially arrived. Movies I would call Atmospheric Psycho Babble. To fall into this category, a film must be directed with consummate skill and deft craftsmanship, usually with a visionary director at the helm. (Lars von Trier, David Lynch, Ari Aster, and this director come to mind.) The criteria also includes: loud sound effects, strong surreal visuals, a dissonant music score, heavy symbolism, an oppressive theme, gratitious nudity, and an interesting premise that peters out at the midway mark and loses all logic from that point. It's The Emperor's New Clothes School of Filmmaking, a grandiose movie that relies solely of stunning imagery over storytelling, all style over no substance. Much of the film's success depends upon the actors in this two character psychological study. Both actors are very good in their very physical and grueling performances and deserve better material. They may not win an Oscar, but they certainly earn a Purple Heart for their yeomanlike duties in this movie. Robert Pattinson, looking like a young and handsome Daniel Day Lewis, is Ephraim. The actor spends most of the film doing grunt work: carrying heavy metal containers, cleaning out chamber pots, becoming waterlogged working in the rain, trudging through knee-deep mud, masturbating on call. Yet he is able to make his one-dimensional character come to life. Willem Dafoe plays Thomas as a cross between Van Gogh's postman Joseph Roulin, Captain Ahab or Crunch (take your pick), and the Sea Captain from The Simpsons. As written, it is an truly absurd caricature, but bless the God Poseidon, Mr. Dafoe is always entertaining and he is, once again, a riveting screen presence. But the film. Da she blows. And the Artsy Fartsy (literally) Award goes to....",4 "Tarantino's passion project is ultimately point less without a satisfying climax, themes or resolution. The plot goes nowhere. It does create a vibrant mood of the period and it portrays a friendship. But it's really a wasted opportunity. People I watched it with who knew nothing about the Manson murders were even more perplexed by it. I thought it was building to an exciting rescue of Sharon Tate but instead we got an ending which was ridiculous and silly. The movie is so slowly paced and begging to be edited. It goes for nearly 3 hours and not a lot happens. This is Tarantino's most meandering work since Jackie Brown. I can't believe Pitt won an Oscar for his one note performance in it. It's cheerful enough but I couldn't recommend watching it once as it's a waste of your time.",4 "You can summarise this movie as having a boring, nonsensical plot, which only serves to offer up the occasional nostalgia gimmick. So much about this movie did not make sense. PLENTY of plot holes, technology that doesn't make sense, and motives that go totally unexplained. It's weakest point is trying to blend in the virtual world with reality; the integration of this singular technology into society is totally unconvincing. As if large groups of people would stop on the side walk to put their VR headsets on and start flailing their limbs around? Why would people wear a suit that allows them to feel significant pain in the real world? Why in five years did nobody try exploring the race track backwards? Why was that chick playing victim so hard over an insignificant birth mark? How the heck does a group of people not get tangled hanging from ropes inside a moving van? Very disappointing.",5 "Do they really need to put up so much cigarette scenes?? What is the point? Only advertisement? If you have a cigarette factory, you wouldn't put up so many cigarette scenes. I got sick, even while watching!",7 "I am a huge fan of comedies and have often been criticized for rating comedies higher than they deserve. I guess that I am just a sucker for a good laugh. But I am not that big of a sucker to laugh at anything in this movie. It was PAINFULLY awful and even though I attempted to see it in its entirety several times I just could not get through it. You could see any attempt at a joke coming from a mile away. This movie actually makes ANY National Lampoon movie (pick the worst in your opinion) seem worthy of an Academy Award. This movie is just SUPER SUPER BAD!",1 "I really wanted to like this morning but it was the first one since Mr Magoo that I have felt like walking out of! I had a feeling of having seen it all before during this movie - I was constantly thinking of Robin Williams in What Dreams May Come where his wife is trapped in purgatory and also Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. By the end we were all waiting for it to end in my group and comments when filing out of the cinema in Australia were much the same from the rest of the crowd. It actually feels like a nightmare which I guess is what the director intended. On the upside it had a fantastic all star cast but they struggled to make this mess coherent. Cillian Murphy - still waiting to hit the Hollywood big time he deserves - tried his best with his limited script but he really needs a better part than this. The music was quite jarring all the way through, and sounds near identical to DiCaprio's last movie; the much better Shutter Island. The constant strings with trumpet bellows are meant to add tension, but after you hear the same sequence of music for over two hours it gets a little annoying to say the least. I am sorry; I wanted to love it but it ended up being baffling by the plot and painfully boring to watch.",1 "I first reviewed this when episode one came out and, well, wasn't too impressed by it. I thought that perhaps the second episode would do a better job, but it only further emphasized the huge problems this show has. The first one is that these characters aren't particularly interesting at the storytelling is advancing at a breakneck pace. To put it into perspective, we could more or less say a year of storytelling took place in a single season of GoT, whereas here the expectation seems to be that the period from episode to episode can vary everywhere from months to years. This brings a severe disconnect to the viewer, and I think it's going to have big issues when the characters people love now (God, I don't know what for) will be killed off and replaced. A big problem for me personally are the look and feel of the show, as well as the worldbuilding. GoT is not set in some vague place, it's been established. When D&D originally set out to make that show based on GRRM's writing, everybody involved knew it was not-England. To be sure GoT spiced it up sometimes with eastern-inspired armors and other similar things, but it always tried to stay at least quasi-historical. HotD has completely thrown this out the window. What we see here are vast, totally surreal and unrealistic landscapes, combined with fantasy interiors that not only make no sense, but which in no way resemble GoT. Again, we have seen these places before, so why couldn't there have been some effort put into consistency? HotD goes for the rule-of-cool in a show where it doesn't fit and where it's completely at odds with the soap-ish tone they're going for. Lastly, the writing is excruciating. I'm not even talking a failure in the narrative or huge plot holes, but scene-to-scene character dialogue.",4 Even India or Bangladesh dont carry the culture that it represents. The underworld looks like 80s Vietnam. here at 2020 e may expect something more cultural in scenario ... Randeep Hooda was excellent and Bollywood class. Chris is outstanding.,2 "Superbad was one of those movies I decided to check out because I was bored and for some reason I decided to waltz down memory lane and remind my-self of all the mischief I got into high school. I was pleasantly surprised, for a start it does not have that glossy Hollywood feel to it, it has a reality based check to it which is what makes you genuinely hooked to it. The characters in it are actually funny and well liked for a change and may even remind you of someone who you know in high school. Although it might drag on in places you can guarantee that Jonah Hill's brilliant comedic role was what saved it from being a total dud . I would say it is worth a check out if your in the mood for some high school comedy. SUPERBAD : 6.1 OUT OF 10",6 "Watched Season 1 and decided that was enough. Half decent plot, but executed at a desperately, crawlingly, S - L - O - W pace and with some good acting performances but too many downers, like the half-witted plot devices involving squabbling kids or bickering adolescents, not to mention Winona Ryder's hysterical overacting and an unhealthy reliance on jump cuts in the middle of suspenseful scenes - a bit like running up behind someone and shouting 'BOO!' - as a means of scaring the viewer. Overall I found myself checking which episode I was on and looking at my watch wondering how long it would be before we got to something meaningful and, eventually, how much more of I was going to have to endure before I could switch to my next bingefest. Seems, from the average review score, to have scored a hit with most viewers so by all means give it a go. Maybe I'm just getting too old.",4 "I've seen some reviews say this is the greatest war movie ever and that baffles me. The story was very predictable & left little to the imagination. Cinematography is amazing though & was very well shot. Also not sure why it was rated R. PG-13 would have been better in my opinion.",6 "Spielberg made a fairly beautiful film, part of which just didn't interest me. In particular, I mean the story arc with the family and mother. Such a personal story may be interesting to the author, but not to the viewer. In this part of the film, I lacked involvement, I did not immerse myself in the film, the person next to me categorically fell asleep. But everything changes when a school appears. Lively characters, good humor - this is how this part can be characterized. It would seem that the plot is simple, but the dialogues and emotions, as well as some kind of childish naivety deserve praise. The last scene with Ford and Lynch's cameo also raise the film's rating. I would put 6.5 but imdb does not give such an opportunity. Worth watching.",6 "There are many that enjoy this. I am not one of them. I found only one of the cast members that interested me, that is the Knight Sir Criston Cole, as he was the only one that demonstrated any character, flawed as he is (like us all). So before you launch a spear at me, this really is my kind of show. I've always enjoyed the tales of medieval times. Firstly with a few exceptions, I find the clast unattractive. There's few characters who's story I find compelling. For a show called ""House of Dragons,"" there's precious few shots of dragons. The costumes and scenes are incredible, however it all just seems too dark. With all the grand costumes it all seems washed out.",5 "I really liked the first season i think the idea of this show was unique and good, the script was great but the last season was a disaster like how they ruined the original work just don't make another season and i recommend watching the first and the third seasons only skip the even seasons first season rate: 10 second season rate: 3 third season rate: 9 cuz it was good and they simulate something from the first season the last season: a solid zero 0 cuz wth is that, they ruined everybody's life and clay went crazy apparently, i dislike almost all the characters finishing, at least they have to make someone healthy and happy at the very end.",6 "Arrested Development is a pretty funny show! This show is about a level headed son named Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) who takes over the family when his father gets arrested for shifty accounting practices at the family-owned conglomerate and the Bluth family assets are frozen, making each member of the eccentric family panicking. Michael also becomes the widower with a 13-year old son named George-Michael (Michael Cera). Michael's snobbish mother, Lucille (Jessica Walter), finds herself living alone in a penthouse without the financial means to maintain it, while Michael's two brothers, GOB (Will Arnett) and Buster (Tony Hale), and his sister Lindsay (Portia DeRossi) with her husband Tobias (David Cross) and her daughter Mae (Alia Shawkat) also find themselves having to recreate their lifestyles to fit their new financial status. This show got some awards for outstanding comedy TV-series. FOX was almost going to cancel this show but then the network decided to give it another go!",8 "HBO apparently. How ridiculous to take a.vivacious heroine and replace her with a lackluster Sursi want to be. Up to this point in the show I found myself rooting for the Raynaera character, but this poorly substituted charlatan. I find myself looking forward to her demise. Another HBO flop. Why they hadn't just chosen to age the character that had already stolen the hearts of the viewer with her grit and fire is beyond my understanding, and I'm sure of the many fans who had the painful job of watching the episode. I was twenty minutes into the show before I realized the hag giving birth was supposedly the Princess Raynaera. HBO deserves the disaster.",1 "AI and CS generally a hot topic nowadays. Everyone is trying to learn a little bit more about topics like machine learning, ai etc. A Sci-fi involving programmers was a promising idea but unfortunately they couldn't be able to execute it properly. I mean why Hollywood always fails on this topic? Is it so hard to hire an industry professional as a consultant? The hacker played Jin Ha uses an Alienware m15 or m17 to crack a Samsung Galaxy looking Android phone. Yes probably Dell paid to promote their gaming line but at least give the guy an XPS 15 or something. No developer uses m15 or m17 line with their chronic cooling issues and unreliable built. Totally ridiculous images on cracking scenes and nobody can crack an app written by an foreign intelligence agency in seconds. That kind of tasks take time. No Russian spy speaks with their boss with a broken English. Too cheesy, full of chlishes and very far away from real life.",6 "The movie started strangely. It was paced strangely that is. At first i thought the entire movie was going to be this way and i had very low expectations but any doubts i had were quickly dismissed as the movie continued. I had the same doubts about the choice of villain in this movie being Dr. Otto Octavius(Doc Ock) but Alfred Molina did a superb job with the character as did the visual effects department. Tobey Maguire really swayed me with his performance in this movie, i was one of the naysayers of his casting in the first place. Kirsten Dunst was also very good in this. James Franco with his Harry Osborn was perfect being torn between his best best fried and the man he believed killed his father. One of the highlights for me at least was Willem Dafoe's haunting cameo at the end as Norman Osborn.The thing that really got me was the Bruce Campbell cameo. All in all very well done acting, directing, visual effects. Better then the original.",7 "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is a landmark film. It will go down in the history of Hindi Cinema with the unique distinction of having the longest slow-mo sequence. In Rajeev Masand's words (on the final scene): ""Never before has slow motion and background music been so abused in a film!"" Nothing works for the film. Absolutely NOTHING. It's an epic tale of epic exaggeration which sadly turns into an epic disappointment of epic proportions. Despite the repeated use of the word 'epic' in the last sentence, the contours and essence of the word fall short of the amplified excesses in the film. Overdose of melodrama, overwrought with jingoism and fabricated self-indulgences, trapped in a deeply flawed screenplay with out-of-sync songs and desperate attempts at emotional manipulation. Farhan's eye-gasmic photoshopped abs, bandages flying off and blood oozing out, coaches doing bhangra on an athletics ground, Divya Dutta's glycerine-soaked eyes. Yawn. Dilip Tahil is good. One of India's greatest character actors, Pawan Malhotra stands out, far above the rest. National Award winning Prakash Raj successfully sheds off his Bollywood stereotype tag of the garrulous villain. Prasoon Joshi may be one of the finest lyricists of our generation, but he fails miserably as a scriptwriter. Farhan Akhtar, however, deserves accolades for his sincerity. He sparkles in bits, but although he replicates Milkha's body, he fails to do the same with his soul. The Flying Sikh deserves a better homage. Much, much better.",6 "This movie is extremely impressive from a visual and sound mixing standpoint. My problem with the movie is that I do not care about any of the ""characters"", or any of what is happening due to lack of plot. This in my opinion is more of a painting with sound then a movie. I have never seen a movie so acclaimed with such a lack of many elements. I get it if you like this movie, I respect many elements of it, but the sum of such elements is a lackluster, shell of a movie. Nolan obviously prioritized certain aspects of the film over the sum of such aspects. For me it goes as a 2/10. A rating that will not be overly popular I am sure.",2 "I resisted for a long time because I really didn't want to suffer through some Lifetime-style old person's ""comedy/mystery"". I was fearing watered down humor, style and depth. But, then I remembered that I've loved everything that Martin Short has done all the way back to Jackie Rogers Jr.! I took a chance and now I'm on episode 7 and dying to watch more! Brilliant concept with absolutely fantastic onscreen charm between the three lead actors. They're all going full bore into this and it shows. I'm laughing out loud every couple minutes!! And the minutes that I'm not laughing, I'm engaged in the story and mystery. Each character, even side ones, have depth. I'm actually quite surprised at how much I like Steve Martin's character and his performance. I used to like his comedy records, but never really kept up on his films (straight up comedy movies are not my thing, unless they're from the 1930s), so he's the real winner here for me. I've little idea who Salena Gomez is, other than I've maybe heard her name. But, she's great! Perfect delivery and she fits the character like a glove. Funny as heck! The Sting stuff had me rolling on the floor laughing. The neighbors in the building are all equally goofy and fun. Oh, and Tina Fey is solid! All in all, I'm anxious to keep watching; which NEVER happens with me and comedy TV! Great stuff!",9 Hats off Basu .... once again u did it.Awesome ...xllnt.....Narration superb,8 "I've read the reviews on here and they are mainly negative so I thought I'd give it a go myself. What I liked were the background info of the evil spirits, sound, music and build up of atmosphere. While some of the initial jump scares were used effectively, the later ones were overused and predictable. Also, it sort of should have gone from horror to neutral back and forth to ease tension and buildup. Main problem is that it is a very predictable movie with a simple plot. Overall build up could be improved but movie gradually got worse progressively. Some character development errors and major errors with some characters screen time as it feels like we do not care or even forget about them entirely. So if you want to see a movie like IT when they arrive into the haunted house. This is basically that.",6 "For an average action movie, you can easily pick this. Otherwise, single shot live actions are awesome in every way. Close and long takes of the combats, was really enjoyable. Crush and Randeep did it right. But the story, the character buildups was hopeless. There are few logic and questions answered properly. Regarding the presentation of the country, production team might be didn't do their research well!",7 "It is typically a Michael Bay movie. What can I say?! The man knows how to do a beautiful sequence plan. In this particular movie, the long lasting plans made the action scenes way more interesting than they should be. Explosions and blodd baths all around the place. Despite, with a not well written script, the movie gives good characters and a cliche motivation for the military-like team. Also, the poor storyline, provides the film to be a little bit repetitive, with the everlasting car explosions and helicopter chase downs. Subsequently, one of the most valuable things of this movie is definitely the engagement of the six characters of the team, especially with ""One"" (Ryan Reynolds) being the leader and the one who has to deal with all the nonsense of the whole crew. All the six characters perform really well on what they are supposed to give in terms of the story. Therefore, the lack of a proper script and a continuous and concise storyline, does not provide the proper tone this kind of movie should have. Finally, in a overview the script lacks composure and efficiency. Consequently, the exaggerated and sometimes forced action brings a different experience on the new Michael Bay Netflix's movie.",5 That movie was funny and good. And i really like the jokes in the movie. Ex the two dumb cops encounter scenes with the stora clerk and mclovin or seth and evan trying to get liquor for a party but they are getting into trouble for this. And it was great fun to watch. 8/10.,8 "I watched this movie tonight on RedBox and found it very disturbing and dark, especially in its treatment of children. It is much darker than any of the other Harry Potter movies. Also, its main characters are people in their late 30's (which doesn't add to the appeal for children or young adults). On top of this, it was also a boring, slow-paced, un-engaging movie until the last 15-20 minutes (which only somewhat redeemed the film), with CGI reminiscent of a bad video game. I do not have children, but if I did, I would not let them see this movie. *SPOILERS coming* I was not necessarily intending to write this as a review with children in mind, but I am very angry with the way this movie treats children. While some of the other Harry Potter movies are dark, none of them comes close to the evil in this movie. With the exception of the 4 main characters and the various children, every character in this movie is portrayed as self-serving and evil, with the majority of violence being done to children. Let me elaborate: there is the evil ""mother"" character who adopts orphans and then emotionally and physically abuses them (she beats and cuts them), and forces them to distribute anti-witchcraft pamphlets. There is the evil wizard (who turns out to be Grindelwald) who also emotionally and physically abuses a teenager and acts like a pedophile (he caresses the teenage boy's face, clasps him close, physically harms him, pretends to be his ""friend"" in order to manipulate him, and forces him to betray his own sister). The main ""dangerous creature"" in this movie turns out to be literally a demon from this possessed, tortured, abused teenage boy. How does the movie avenge him? It doesn't. In fact, the female witch president of the USA kills the boy because his demon ""accidentally killed a no-mag (muggle)."" On top of these very dark themes, there are also inappropriate sexual moments. This film is clearly directed at adults, and not at children or teens. A female character is shown in lingerie, seductively dressing in front of two men she's just met. A disgusting and prolonged CGI scene shows what is basically a sexually-charged magical rhinoceros with a glowing red organ who spends about ten minutes trying to ""relieve itself"" on one of the human characters. There are other sexually suggestive moments involving men eyeing a woman's cleavage. I also did not find any of the characters to be likable except for the Polish guy who wants to start a bakery. He is truly likable. Okay, in the last 10 minutes or so I also liked the witch Queenie, too, and I thought the way the movie ended was one of its few redeeming qualities. Last of all--toward the beginning of the movie is a long CGI segment clearly intended to showcase all of the 'magical' CGI animals designed for this movie, but it involves poor Eddie Redmayne squawking like a bird and--I kid you not--trying to do the mating dance of a sexually charged magical male rhinoceros. A very strange, dark movie. I only like the ending.",2 "This film is so good on so many levels, it's even better then part 1, which was also great on it's own. But this one's just.. outstanding. It still is in my top 5 all time best movies.",10 "So what's so special about this flick? Two people meet far away from home and do some exploring of japanese culture. The movie drags on and on and on, it's neither boring nor exciting - it just is. One thing the movie certainly is NOT is thought-provoking. I would go as far as saying that I had forgotten it already the moment I left the theater - yes, I thought a lot more about ""X-Men 2"" than I did about ""Lost in translation""... Could not make out the splendid direction, could not make out the wonderful screenplay... all I could detect were two excellent actors doing their best while doing nothing special at all.",5 I was failed to understand the movie concept. I don't find any reason to watch this movie.,2 "A movie about illusionists pulling of bank heists during their performances, well that could be interesting! And with such a big cast it's bound to be good right? Now you see me starts with introducing four street performers (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Isla Fisher) doing cheap magic tricks in front of an audience to earn money. They all get summoned to an apartment in New York by someone in the form of tarot cards. After they get together we suddenly jump to Las Vagas one year later were the four of them (now called ""the Four Horsemen"") perform a big show on stage. During the show they rob a bank in Paris by randomly picking a Frenshman from the audience and 'teleporting' him to the vault of said bank. Robbing banks during magic shows draws attention from several big people, including the world famous Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman) who debunks magic tricks and insurance magnate Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine) who sponsors them. To investigate the theft FBI agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) is given the case and is teamed up with Interpol Agent Alma Dray (Mélanie Laurent). During questioning the four horsemen, they react incredibly arrogant and claim that they will always be two steps ahead of the FBI. Because they have no proof they have to let them go, but will Dylan with the help of Thaddeus Bradley and the lovely Alma Dray be able to stop them before they pull of more heists? I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of heist movies but with well crafted characters, exciting action and a solid plot with believable twists it's possible to make a good movie. Unfortunately, apart from some good action scenes, this heist movie falls flat very quickly. Lets start with the characters: they are all very hollow, very little background is given for the four horsemen and they act so annoyingly arrogant (for unknown reason) that I started to hate them very quickly and was hoping for a scene where they get punched in the face. There is no motivation given for their actions and they can all unbelievably easily break into banks, FBI phones, steal top secret data and what not that I assume they just have superpowers! For example, the fight scene between Dave Franco and Mark Ruffalo had me believing he was the X- Men mutant Gambit, how else could he fight like that being just a stage artist? And normally I like to see Freeman and Caine in movies but here there characters are given so little that they seemed lost and just reading there lines. I only liked Mark Ruffalo but his character was given proper motivation (catch the thieves) and he acted like it. A good plot is what usually drives these movies but after the credits rolled I discovered that there simply was no plot here. No reason is given why the heists are done and there is no character development or chemistry going on. Yes there are surprises and 'big reveals' but they are so far fetched and rely on unbelievable 'one in a million' shots that I started to feel insulted. No I didn't see it coming but if you give your street artists super powers instead of using skillful misdirection in your movie, you can pull of everything and just force me to roll with it right? I also think the movie was given more money then they needed with all those ridiculous special effects and over the top sound editing. The sound effects used here made it feel like your watching the Rohan army charging down on the Pelenor fields but on screen you just see two people doing a 'make the rabbit disappear in a box' trick. Was there money left over or something? Added to the super sounds is the annoying moving shots and shaky cam, it made me feel dizzy at times. I think those moving shots were used in abandon to cover up the fact that there is nothing to see in this hollow movie. I really disliked this movie and felt insulted by assuming I would swallow all the ridiculous things happening on screen and not questioning anything. I think it had worked better by just saying the magicians where REAL magicians who can do as they please. Or if they said ""FOOLED YOU!"" in big letters before the credits rolled. Maybe if you don't mind lack of intelligence in a movie and just want to see some cool effects you might enjoy it. But there are a million other movies that have that so I see no reason to watch this one.",3 This is a tremendous mini series for all viewers to watch and learn what really went down. I like watching films or series that are based on true stories. This is a real great mini series. I was able to relate to this mini series in a way. The cast selection was tremendous. They committed to the storyline. They brought out the actual true story more than I thought they would. Amanda Seyfried is an exceptional and talented performer. She did a fantastic job as the lead role. I have had health problems and disabilities all my life. I was born with a syndrome. People need to be cautious and need to know more about these types of things. The syndrome that I was born is a really rare syndrome and not many people know about it. People need to know more about these things to help everyone and others. This is a tremendous mini series for all viewers to watch.,8 One of the most boring movies I have ever seen. The series saved this story so definitely watch that. The acting is extremely cringe in this movie. Don't get the overhyped comments on this one.,1 "Lots of action Ill give it that. The story is probably number 7 down the list. Good explosions, throbbing music a bad dude middle eastern type and you got a movie you play load and while your ""fully"" loaded. If you try to watch in the morning you will be WTF is this? Some good burns and not just from Ryan Reynold's The guy that plays 5 now leads Netflix's the Lincoln Lawyer. Remember also those stunt guys are doing that Parkour on those buildings that's not CGI and the choroegophy was well done on all that. Probably ran 30 minutes to long but considering they paid 150 million to make this I guess they had to fill it all up with bangs because the script is junk.",4 "Six weeks ago was The Godfather in a theatre setting. This time it was the sequel, which generated an equal amount of movie bliss. Experiencing these two classic movies on the big screen almost 40 years after release reinforces what great films they are … and how few truly great films get made. We are reminded that a powerful well-written story, world class cast, visionary director, brilliant photographer and stunning composer are all necessary components for movie greatness. This sequel explores three time periods: the journey of 9 year old Vito to the U.S., his rise to power in Little Italy, and Corleone life after Vito's death. Some find the cuts to varying timelines to be distracting. Personally, I find it fascinating and a very effective way to tell the entire story. Watching an almost mute 9 year old Vito land on Ellis Island and transform into a twenty-something community ""leader"" is one of the more powerful and unlikely events ever seen on screen. Mix that with Al Pacino holding little back as a power-mongering Michael is downright frightening. If you doubt this, look at it from the perspective of Diane Keaton's May, or John Cazale's Fredo. The film received 11 Oscar nominations and won 6, including Best Picture. Robert DeNiro won for his tremendous turn as young Vito. This is early DeNiro … the Mean Streets, Taxi Driver era. DeNiro and Marlon Brando remain the only two actors to have won Oscars for playing the same character. Two other acting nominations went to Lee Strasberg as Hyman Roth and Michael V Gazzo as Pentangeli. Mr. Strasberg was the famed acting teacher whose prized pupils included none other than Al Pacino (who talked him into taking this role). Strasberg was also bequeathed 75% of the Marilyn Monroe estate and there was much scandal after his death when his widow auctioned off most of it. A couple of other interesting points were that most of this script was original for the film, though the background story of Vito was drawn from Mario Puzo's novel. Director Francis Ford Coppola considered casting Joe Pesci as the young Clemenza, but ultimately decided on Bruno Kirby. Dominic Chianese plays Hyman Roth's right hand man Johnny Ola. Chianese has been recently seen in both The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire. B-Movie mogul Roger Corman plays one of the Senators on the committee interrogating Michael and Pentangeli. Harry Dean Stanton plays one of the FBI bodyguards, and former heartthrob Troy Donahue plays Connie's (Talia Shire) goofy boyfriend Merle. One of my favorite characters in the film is Don Fanucci, robustly played by Gastone Moschin. His strutting and preening always creeps me out and makes me laugh. Besides being the first sequel to win a Best Picture Oscar, The Godfather II is simply one of the finest films ever made. At 200 minutes, it requires both a time and mental commitment, but along with The Godfather, Coppola and Puzo have provided us exemplary story telling through expert filmmaking.",10 "My rating might be so harsh but It's just unacceptable for Netflix (Netflix's worth is now bigger than Disney, keep in mind), Russo brothers and Chris Hemsworth coming with this movie.",1 "if i knew before that this is what i am gonna get in the next two and a half hour i would have never wasted my time watching this film! seriously besides some nice acting by Manoj Bajpai, there is nothing left to see in this film. they just pulled the film without any reason. lots of characters. always got confused between who's who? there's no specific target in this film. in most cases they just jumped from one scene to another. ending is a total crap. i had a huge expectation from this film but got total disappointment. i also do regret a lot to suggest this film to my friends even before i watched this film. so please guys save your time to see some other staff, but don't see this one.",1 "How is this getting such great reviews? I'm so unbelievably confused. This is genuinely one of the worst films I have ever seen. The plot is abysmal, completely pointless and achieves literally nothing. The acting, dialogue, and forced ""jokes"" are so bad it's enough to make you cringe. It's hard to explain but it feels like all the actors met each other 5 minutes before the cameras started rolling. There is zero chemistry, it feels so unnatural and forced and awkward. As expected the special effects are very good, but that's honestly the only redeeming quality I can think of and nowhere near enough to save this thing. Is this really what passes for a 9/10 film these days? What is happening?",2 This is without a doubt top 10 best tv shows ever made. No more needs to be said. Watch it you dumb little monkey with your banana and your camera. Charge your phone. Eat some hot chips. Lie.,9 I loved how the first 3 episodes started off as a classic sitcom and then turned into a marvel type show! It turned out better then I thought.... Way better!,9 Now don't get me wrong black mirror is amazing. It shows possibilities of inventions and anti-utopias in the future and some are happening today. But Season 5 feels to Americanised and just crappy. The only decent episode in season 5 is smithereens. But then you have the other two. The Ashley O one is just crap. And striking vipers is OK. The whole idea of black mirror is the abuse of technology and how it effects people. But I feel like after season 4 it's just gone down. For my advice watch all the way through season 1-4 because mostly all of them are good with some off them which are OK but still are good concepts. And in season 5 just watch smithereens and maybe striking vipers don't watch the Ashley O episode. Otherwise except from them episodes the series is really good and I would recommend it.,8 "As we all loves superheroes but this web series bring something very fascinating out of the box. Love the series.",9 "Man, I loved the action films of the eighties... and not just the classics. There were the straight-to-video (remember video?) titles too... and, with a poster sporting a tough looking, buffed up Ben Stiller; an affro'd Robert Downey Jr (brilliant in Iron Man, and hinting at the classic cool blaxploitation action hero of the 1970s, such as Fred Williamson and Richard Roundtree?); plus the always hilarious Jack Black, in an action comedy/spoof? I couldn't wait... Sadly, it just didn't deliver. Tom Cruise's cameo wasn't funny at all (just creepy); Stiller's 'going deep' (a la Col. Kurtz) wasn't funny; the talented Steve Coogan was wasted and Jack Black didn't really do anything... the references to insecure actors and ruthless producers might have provided laughs for Stiller's colleagues, but it did little for me... Nick Nolte was great as the deceptive vet, and the explosives/sfx guy was hard case, but I ultimately found this pretty disappointing... Oh, what might have been...",2 "One star for Benedict Cumberbatch, another one is for Elizabeth Olsen. I can't understand why director let Dr. Strange became a horror movie??

It is rather funny. It's awful knowing other peoples intimate details. Cringe worthy and funny. Ryan and Jason are very good actors.,6 "The story is quite good. The comparison of two lines for two generations, one for starting a business and one for keeping success is really impressive. Victor, who grew up without a father or a mother, was humiliated and humiliated, and finally reunited with his family. Mike, who grew up in the warmth of his family, was more selfish until he betrayed his family. Of course, in addition, the actors' interpretation of the role is still very good, flesh and blood, a good sense of watching the movie, and the ending is the finishing touch.",9 "A twisted tale of superheroes owned by a corporate company called ""Vaught"" where all superheroes have their issues to deal. This is I think the most realistic take on superheroes produced so far in movies or television shows. The script clearly connects the ""misoginy"" , the ""sexual harrasment"" ""brandings""""personal crisis"" and ""corporat frauds"" and fits perfectly into the story. This is a story where all characters have flaws. I have finished season 1 so far and definitely continue watching it.",8 "Oscar Deserving movie. What a masterpiece movie i don't have word to explain Bollywood can't make this type of movie. I love tollywood I love this movie.",10 "It's just not good. Baffling how people fall for writing and acting That is working SOOOOOO hard to be dark and deep And serious. Everything about this show is efforting tremendously. Happy valley looks like a master class compared to this. Neither are my type of show usually but Happy Valley, which I just finished in one weekend (I had covid) is quite impressive actually. This show is at best contrived. Kate is obviously a great actress. She is working very hard in this role. She doesn't relax in to it for one beat. ""I'm hard as nails!"" ....unlike the actress in Haply Valley who plays all the layers and colors And we Don't catch her acting ever. I won't continue with this one as I can smell where it's going-I calll these shows ""tonal"" where one note is hit on the piano only, over and over And over And over....some people have a lower bar and think That must mean brilliance. Maybe if they saw actual brilliance they'd be able to discern the difference? Happy valley - same show - better writers and acting. Not one note. Watch and compare.

It took me 3 days to finish watching because I could only stand about 40 boring ass minutes at a time. Quasi-science muddled with current theory and overstretched artistic license, and let's face it; McConaughey as ""humanities last hope""? Yeah, we'd be screwed. He's not altogether that bad, but in reality the coolest thing about him is his Air-stream. The improbability levels in the ""science"" and the story make it difficult to get into it.",2 "Without Jenny Ortegas performance as Wednesday, there would be little to recommend other then a semi interesting central mystery. The rest of the show is insufferable characters like Wednesdays roommate, Xavier, and Tyler. Watching Tyler act makes my eyes and ears bleed. When the central mystery is not the main focus, we have to suffer through the typical YA teen agnst drama. The target audience for this show will soak it up. If you ever thought Riverdale was a good show you will be right at home here. Hence the 8.5 on imdb. Wednesday might as well be another CW show, rotten tomatoes said it the best. If CW type drama, writing, characters is your thing you will love Wendesday. To each their own. I prefer a little bit more substance in my television shows.",5 "Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi and Abhishek Bachchan are standout performers in the movie. All other actors are also really really good, even those actors who have a very little role have done absolute justice to their role. And the little girl Inayat a.k.a Mini is simply outstanding and so cute. And the movie is a masterpiece. Amazing Direction (Hats off to Anurag Basu), Screenplay, Story, Comedy, Emotions, Acting. Everything about this movie is flawless. How everyone has their own story and how they are all interlinked in some or the other way. After such a long time I got to see such a marvellous movie.",9 "It was really bad. Mostly meaningless dialogue and very little action. I came to watch Iron Man, not people do nothing but talk. The movie was boring, Mickey Rourke was a miscast, and Whiplash's motives are super cliché. It's amazing that the same guy directed both Iron Man and Iron Man 2, considering the former was a masterpiece and the latter sucked. The only good things in this movie are the Monaco fight scene and Black Widow and War Machine's scenes. Everything else was bad. Tips for improvement: They should've cut the dialogue time and unnecessary scenes. They also should've cast someone else as Whiplash and add another action scene to give us a break before cutting back to more useless dialogue.",2 "As you move along, the movie intrigues you to learn more about the mystery, but there is none - what you see is what you get. There is no reason explaining all the killing, no lesson to teach through the victims, no nothing. Just a pseudo-psychological horror with nothing more than a few appealing moments of performance and a good setting. Which is a shame, because this movie could have so much potential. Oh and surprise surprise, Taylor Joy is once more playing someone who is unexplainably ""special"" and that alone lets her get away with everything, along with the dedicated respect of even the worst lunatic.",4 "War, drought and famine plague the world of Interstellar. The wars have ceased, but the fight for the basic essentials of life hang in the balance. A blight threatens the food supplies and rolling dust storms cause a dirt-filled existence for civilisation and the Cooper family. Coop (Matthew McConaughey) is a farmer who is trying to help the community and his family to survive. As a former pilot, engineer and a recent widow, he is attempting to hold together the very existence of his family. In amongst the trials of life, his daughter Murphy (Mackenzie Foy) comes upon a strange anomaly that leads to a series of events that push Coop into a situation that means the salvation of mankind. He is asked to sacrifice his time on the earth by going through a mysterious rip in the space-time continuum to find a new home for humanity. He and a team of scientists, headed by Amelia Brand (Anne Hathaway), leave earth to find new worlds that can sustain life. Once on the spacecraft Endurance, the crew is confronted with many of the realities of space travel and the nuances of traveling through time. Reminiscent of the historical accounts of early explorers of this world, they have to revert to instincts and their knowledge of the universe to determine which steps to take and what sacrifices need to be made for the salvation of mankind. Laid on a backdrop of space exploration, philosophical and moral challenges occur within the team. Being confronted with humanities biggest frailties and strengths, they have to determine who to trust and where they need to go for the benefit of humanity. Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Inception) manages to weave a web of psychological drama on the backdrop of science-fiction, reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Gravity. The notion of an original film from Christopher Nolan was exciting after the experience of Inception. Interstellar seemed to be the next frontier for his intellectual style of direction and writing. The concept of climate change and war is ripped right out of today's headlines and then overlayed with Kip Thorne's black hole theories make for a fascinating mix of physics and science fiction. A mix that has the potential for allowances for travel throughout time and space. Nolan was able to make the storyline of Inception work, because he made each jump in the film accessible for the audience. With the director skill of previous Nolan experiences, this film seems destined for a new level of filmmaking. Yet, there seemed to be some problems along the way and the film became too clever for its own good. Not that it did not work as a film, it merely did not have the fluidity of previous Nolan films. It will be a film studied by many film classes in the future, because of its philosophy and depictions of a world gone wrong. The story, effects and acting delivered, but the combination feels like too much for even three hours of cinema. Like the humorous MARS and CASE robot characters, the time/space travel components felt clunky and too dense to move the story along effectively. The special effects were amazing and the cinematography was breathtaking at times, which was the saving grace of moving the story along, but not enough to move this from a good film to a great film. McConaughey, Hathaway and Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) did well with the roles they were given, but suffered from the the large leaps in the story's time continuum. With all of the tying off of the loose ends of the story added laboriously to the already long film. The film will keep Nolan's loyalists happy but will not appeal to the peripheral fans who have known him for The Dark Knight trilogy. The writing team of Jonathan and Christopher Nolan tried to convey a belief that mankind is the keeper of our own fate. The solution to the problem of mankind is we will grow into a new conscience and develop new abilities to manage the space and world in which we live. The implication is that we hold the answers to the world's problems inside ourselves. Humanity is it's own worst enemy, but we are also the answer. This is probably why the story fell short of answering it's own questions. It did get the problem correct, but missed finding the answer. Interstellar opens the door to a multitude of deep questions and a couple of the biggest being why is the world the way that it is and how can we solve it? The Nolans seem to be going down the right path in looking beyond ourselves with the introduction of the supernatural 'They'. The inclusion of these unexplained characters in the film even allow the scientists to look for supernatural answers. Without giving too much away, their conclusion became an internal answer with eternal implications. They attempt to eliminate God from the equation, but the answer does not add up in the end. The direction and writing became confusing. Was this a psychological thriller, a philosophical art film or a groundbreaking science fiction epic? It was not even clear if the Nolans knew how to describe the film which in the end caused more confusion than entertainment. What are the bigger questions to consider from this film? 1. What is the problem with the human condition? (Genesis 3, Matthew 15:19, Psalm 51:5) 2. What is the solution to the problem? (John 3:16-21) 3. Who made the heavens?

This one's a brutal grind thru two hours of bone crunching action. There's enough in here for satin junkies and Chris Hemsworth in his outing beyond the Marvel universe delivers. And gets down to it without too much of a build up. A Indian drug lords son is kidnapped and whisked away to Bangladesh. What follows is a double cross and some macho action that will leave fans is the genre satiated. Given what follows I can kind is understand why they would set the story in Bangladesh. Our macho men go around dropping elite forces like nine pins taking out an entire division. The action is good and well directed. Randeep Hoods acquits himself well...

The jokes were too easy all the time. The story was predictable. Not much carnage and action actually. But.. also never boring.",6 "Bird Box stars Sandra Bullock as a pregnant single mom trying to survive pandemic where if you open your eyes in the outdoors, you are driven to suicide. A lot of hype and memes surround the Netflix Original film Bird Box. One could argue this film is easily Netflix's most popular film with all the hype surrounding the film. A lot of comparison to another recent film, A Quiet Place are being made. Hype could be both good and bad for anything, with Bird Box the hype punishes the film. Bird Box is not a complete disaster. The film has a strong cast and solid performances. Where Bird Box suffers, is the lack of cohesion of the film's story. Bird box is based on the novel of the same name by Josh Malerman. I have three major gripes with the film. The first thing, the run time was too long. It did not need to be over 2 hours. Certain points you feel the Director was stretching the story. Second, ""the creatures"" that were stalking everyone and driving them to madness were never seen or really developed. To me, it seemed like the writer had no idea what and who the creatures were. This could be a fault from the source material (the novel), but since I have not read the novel I cannot say. The ending. I will not spoil the film for those who still want view the film, but there felt like there was done or basically a cop out. The ending felt cheap or the screenwriter did not know where to go to finish the story so they just ended the story. This as well could be something that came from the original source, if so why did they bother making a film and/or book to begin with. This is poor storytelling. The viewer feels they are only watching a rough draft. Overall I score this film a 6 out of 10. The film is okay if the weather is bad and you are stuck inside all day, but this is no great apocalyptic film like The Road or a Quiet Place. Netflix swung and missed a hanging curve right in the middle of the plate. I recommended A Quiet Place over this. That film is better in every aspect as is The Road.",6 "You could tell from the visual opening credits that GOT was something special and grand. The beginning of the HOTD has no memorable opening, no sense that an epic story is about to unfold and no compelling characters. Perhaps the acting will improve as the storyline moves forward but hardly anyone in E1 has distinguished themselves in that regard. Don't know what mood the show runners were going for but dark, fuzzy lighting will only take the storyline so far. Hopefully, we'll see the characters in the light of day every so often.",4 "#Tu Nahi Samjhy Ga Except that scene, It's one of the unrealistic movies ever.

Shahrukh's acting was too good as goruv, but I felt he just wanted to do a film like that, show of his crazy fans... otherwise he actually shouldn't have signed this film at first place.

YES THERE IS and its ok to have something that does not include any or maybe just a little. I would much rather play the game again and read the books again than watch this drivel. Henry Cavill was the only thing worth watching and the rest was unnecessary 100%",3 "I haven't read the comics. I have no doubt that if I liked the comics I would hate the show, I don't know why people watch tv/movies of comics/books they love. season one is excellent. 9/10 season two is crap. 0/10. it's slow, and packed with political references. no thanks.",5 "Too long of a story written & made into a movie that goes no where. The main characters are tough, silent & show no remorse for their actions or lack thereof. It could have been a great movie but the writer got lost along the way. Don't know why any studio would make this movie. It made no money at the box office either. One depressing movie about hard Germans with no remorse, emotions or sensibilities.",4 It was way too long. And the beginning and the addition of the pandemic to the story were unnecessary and stupid. This one doesn't compare to the first one at all. Overall it was a good story later on but just all the time and unnecessary story and fillers to get there were boring to say the least. I waited a long time for this movie to come out and was kind of disappointed by what it delivered. The only good thing I liked were Kate Hudson's putfits and styling in this movie. Everything else felt cheap and not thought out. I hope the third installment of this franchise will live up to the first one again.,4 "Best show I have ever watched. The character development is incredible, the story has so many layers, the jokes are really funny and the show overall really touched me. Strongly recommend to watch it.",10 "Seriously now, WHAT A SHOW this was! It was truly amazing!",9 "Wow, people still give 7 or 8 stars even when they review it as boring. Look, this show starting looking interesting, but when you realize the trailer was all made up of episode 1 you will realise how boring it actually is. Have not enjoyed any episode, the acting is not great, or the plot, or the script. I give up on epsisode 3, I have no interest to finish it off. All this show does is undo everything that has happened so far in the MCU and make everything that happened previously become insignificant which is a massive smack in the infinity saga, audience, thanos and the infinity stones face.",2 "Yawn! The directors tried so hard to make this movie an epic action piece, they managed to make it incredibly shallow and boring. Many of the action sequences were filmed with no visible cuts, to greater increase tension and atmosphere, but it truly made it exhausting. I love one man army movies but this felt like watching paint dry. The ""storyline"" (if you can call it that) is well used in many other films, and the level of engagement you will feel to the characters in this film will be non-existent. If you want to watch stunts watch this movie, if you want a storyline and something to make you feel tense and involved, hard pass it.",2 This is one of the most horrible things I watched in my entire life I can't believe I've got to season 2. Cartoons are 10x better than this crap. Just too painful to watch.,1 "Just watched S4, and im pretty sure im done now. if you want to watch this show just watch s1 and then stop. so ye, s1 is like a 6 or 7. the rest is all 4 or 5/10. though i did sometimes enjoy the topics, but alas too little too late. 5/10: please stop",5 Changed my rating from 10 to 8. Through 8 episodes it has a great plot and the acting is superb. But it's more of a slow deep thriller than it is a fast paced action horror show. It does tease you with sporadic supernatural horror moments only to slow down again. I'm still hooked but the slow pace of the past 3 episodes is frustrating. Hopefully the last 2 episodes pick up the pace and action!,8 "I am a huge fan of scifi and this movie promised to be something really good. Its not everyday you get these two actors together so I was looking forward to seeing it. It was excellent up to about half way, when they kill off George Cloony. Such a pity as from then on you get an overdose of Sandra Bullock that is rather over the top and not credible. she needed a second protagonist to maintain a thread of credibility and did not deserve having her part in this movie ruined by this weak ending. The jumping off from one base to another was ridiculous and so was the haphazard button pressing or the grand finale. if I had seen just the second 50% of the movie by itself I would have given it 3 stars, as it is I gave it 5",4 "Great sci-fi and very entertaining. Season 2 needs some tweaks if it is to survive: 1) Love Parker Posey but this isn't her role and she isn't needed. There is enough drama with the need for her character. It's terribly distracting to the storyline and becomes unwatchable Shoot her and move on with a better storyline 2) Too many everyone is going to die moments. It become unbelievable after a while 3) Don West isn't Hans Solo so make him less of a smuggler and more another part of the crew 4) Write more believable storylines...no duke, find fuel, lose fuel, waste fuel, blowup ship, use bird poop...stretching it a bit writers room",6 "Saw this film at tiff's secret movie club which was also the film's north American premier. This is a well made war film with technical aspects being really stand out. It is a towering achievement for cinematography, the sound work is top notch, the depiction of front lines, trenches, the mud filled with rotten corpses was incredibly powerful and Sam Mendes did a masterful directing here. However I've had some issues that I think really hurt the film and leave a bad taste: 1. There are a few scenes here that probably belong to James Bond flicks than a realistic world war film. I won't spoil anything but I wonder how Mr Mendes would have made this before Skyfall. 2. Again there are some events that are highly dramatized and some of them feel just dumb/unrealistic. I don't know how much control did Mendes have on this production but I was really annoyed at certain times. Overall I think this is a worth-watching, expertly made war film that would've been a great one but it's still enjoyable.",7 Too predictable and bad storytelling. So many things that doesn't even make any sense..,6 I'm a huge fan of QT. I've watched all of his movies 3 or 4 times. This one I just couldn't justify watching again. I waited and waited for a plot to start but it never did. This is a film for filmmakers to watch and enjoy if they can get past a lack of tension. I get that this is a time period movie... It looked very good. I get it... we're in the late 60's. But give me a compelling story like your last 8 movies QT! Acting was fantastic but without a good story this movie falls flat and becomes really boring really fast.,3 "I don't normally review movies unless I feel compelled to do so. In this case, I feel I was duped into expecting a very good movie. Isn't that what I should have expected with an 8.5/10 rating? I won't get into the details, they're well-documented throughout these reviews. And I won't detail the nonsense that is considered a plot for those that may not have had the displeasure of viewing this movie. There are so many times that I was left shaking my head that I sustained a neck injury just watching this. I like the idea of Bane as a physically powerful foe, I like Anne Hathaway as Catwoman (although her character has serious flaws) and the veterans do their normal commendable job attempting to bring stability to this disaster. I gave it a 3 because I like Batman and I still want to like him. I will put this movie out of my mind so that I continue to like him.",6 "It's one of the finest creation by tvf on a concept that generally gets ignored by biggies. The acting was fabulous by each and every single character but "" Sandeep Bhaiya "" will have a special place in my heart. Do watch it guys it's worth spending 5-6 hours.",8 "It's like Hollywood movie mad Max Fury toad, if u can start watching",10 I am fan of chris hamesworth. And in this movie his fighting scene is cool but the whole story gets the wrong image of bangladesh. Bangladesh is not a terrorist country. But writer tried to focus on that. Bangladeshi people are not used to street gunfight. But it represents that it's common in bangladesh. Writter should not give a false image about a country.,1 "Over dramatic. Wrong atmoshere totally. The vast majority of the evacuated troops were much more upbeat than shown at the end of the film. Too woke. Nowhere near enough smoking throughout which was very common at the time. Read ""The Snow Goose"" if you want the very best piece of work to do with the Dunkirk evacuation.",2 "I have been lucky enough to see two advanced screenings of Superbad in Burbank. It is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. When I read the summary, I was a bit skeptical. The ""high school comedy"" is not exactly my cup of tea. My love for Michael Cera's performance in Arrested Development drove me to the theater and man was I glad I went. This is not your typical high school comedy. The writing is much smarter and funnier and the acting is superb. This movie so far transcends American Pie and its ilk that it cannot really even be compared. Go see this movie!!! I have a feeling it is going to go off the charts once the buzz gets around about how hilarious it is.",10 This series had exceptional writing with good characters and a story line that ultimately made sense even after the twists and turns. At times it was a little boring and I was hoping for more surprises at the end but regardless it was worth the watch.,8 "oh my god, this is the worst TV show I have ever seen in my entire life. The acting is horrendous and the show seems as though it is making fun of itself. The 7.4/10 is the most surprising thing since learning that Zac Efron was not actually singing in high school musical. It is cheap, knockoff version of Marvel movies. Get a better plot and actors and maybe I will consider watching it.",1 "S1: Throughout out the nine episodes there was a lot of story progression, it was set at a good pace and easy to follow along, as well as we got to see the consequences of their actions/choices that helped build the story. I loved the heart-to-heart moments where we got to see the characters bond and it just added more to the storyline. Other notes: the visuals, lightning, music, etc were outstanding and were lovely to watch. I loved how each episode slowly changed its scenery and environment and it made the world building engaging and interesting. The music was lovely to listen to, it wasn't overpowering in moments that focused on the characters, but it was powerful when it needed to be. As someone who hasn't played the game or watched any gameplay, I really liked the show and I look forward to another season!",8 "Just horrible, what a sad representation of Will , a nerdy cry baby",1 "There is so much wrong with this movie, that I am having a hard time remembering the parts which were right. I will start with a few.: Gal Gadot looked wonderful. The actions scenes were entertaining,.. for the most part. Well that is about it. Now for the bad parts: Pretty much everything else. The script was horrible, the editing was all over the place, the directing was just aweful, and the script was terrible and the acting seemed very disengenuine. The script was terrible. And then they hd WW doing things that she never did in any other program or book... For example - fly. Womder Woman Doesn't Fly! She also doesn't sligng around like Spiderman from her lasso. The lasso gets longer if she just holds in teh direction she threw it. It can even catch passing jets to help her fly... 500 miles and hour. They hop into a jet that neighther of them have flown and become one with the wind... because that is all you need to fly a jet fighter. Did I mention the bad script? Those are many more reasons to skip this nonsense. i just listed a few. Parts were entertaining, but other parts were boring. It was way too long and it had a terrible script. The CGI of her slinging her lasso and flying through the air behind it and scooping people up was very off in the editing. The love scene was just awkward, but the script was terrible. Skip this turkey. I was looking forward to it too. Sorry I did it. One of the worst super hero movies ever made.",4 "It's been a long time since I stopped caring about the series, but I wanted to do this review anyway to show how much I hate it. After the first season, I had to force myself to watch every episode, often fast-forwarding through painfully paced episodes. After 10 years, when I finally came to the end of the series, the only thing I can remember about the whole horrible watching process is that I wanted to kill myself out of boredom more than once. Honestly, the experience was so bad that I lost interest in all anime after watching Attack on Titan. I only gave this rating for the sake of the first season. As a result, it gives me a little peace of mind to know that the series is really over and will not continue.",5 Watching this movie is nothing but a waste of time,5 "I read the books, I played the games. But this series is far away from being good! It looks like a cheap sunday afternoon series you gonna watch to get sober. You will fall asleep and you don't even care about it. You don't even want to rewatch the episodes you missed because it's just boring. Costumes, makeup, CGI, acting, storytelling. Everything's just super cheap!",1 "I like Tarantino movies but this one missed the mark. Not sure was his vision or idea for this movie was, but it didn't come through on screen. Very few laughs and long runtime that is unnecessary. Could easily cut an hour out and not lose any substance.",4 "This web series from Marvel just perfectioned acting. Its not an action type web series. It's totally acting and story. The way the protagonist oscar did and the female protagonist at the end episode was splendid!",8 "This movie seems to be Matrix with a cheap twist. There was too much effort trying to make the movie ""complex"" and less on trying to build a plot. I find that people love this movie because it has the false appearance of one that is confusing when in reality it is fairly easy to follow. People tend to like the pseudo-intelligent boost in being able to follow a simple movie with the false appearance of being complex. Southpark put it best in their take on it*: Sharon: Just because an idea is over convoluted and complex doesn't make it cool. Going into multiple dream levels sounds like a really stupid idea. Cobb: You don't get it because you're not smart enough. *(Season 14 Episode 10 - Insheepsion)",1 "How does this film win an Oscar!!?? It is so boring! I was praying for the movie to end after 20 min. It is so predictable that I guessed every single thing that was going to happen! The story developement is super rushed, there is no character development and the characters have no basis, they just act randomly and based in nothing! It is an emptiness of ideas! Except for the music that is spot on and the great acting of Sally Hawkins (the lady that can not speak), the movie is just simply awful! Del Toro, PLEASE!!! don't make a movie like this ever again!",2 "As the hedline states. Ani is annoying but she is crucial to the story. To be honest S3 is mostly fan favour because everyone wanted a S3. Personally i loved these whole series from S1 all the way to S3. S2 was a little slow for my liking but i pushed through it and it grew on me. Sure S3 is a little weird because of Ani but she is needed for the story and how it was portrayed. Overall these series are amazing and it actually made me feel stuff. Sadness mostly but also happiness and a lot of both. The series talks about life in High school and life with depression and being bullied. But also about friendship, love and getting out of a dark place! For those who haven't seen the series I STRONGLY recommend it! Watch it and give it a shot!",9 This does everything an adaptation should do. Fantastic visuals and clever writing makes for a great time.,8 "WandaVision started off really strong in the beginning. I loved the mystery aspects of the show and the vibe that something is really off was intriguing and interesting to me. Got me hooked! Unfortunately it ended up being lackluster after episode 7 imo and all the teasing and references throughout, were just that. The show still ended up being good nonetheless just not as clever as i thought it was.",7 "I watched it yesterday, and I really didn't like it ar all, the film is a complete bore, I was wondering how possibly could Tarantino make such a weak film like this one.",6 "Acting 10 Production 10 Directing 10 Pacing 0 There is zero audience participation in this series. It's the most well done piece of tv without a plot moving, at all. Episode 4 and we are sleeping with the snails, outside with the crickets chirping, while slurching across the pavement, drying out before the cruel death in the sunrise. If you're gonna bore us to death, at least include a few comedic beats or some essence of a soul. Give it a beat, a pulse, perhaps some music. Maybe filmmakers will dote on this slow pan cooking, but an audience with an hour to give a night should not. One idea is to give the audience a few nuggets so perhaps they can help crack the case. These characters are all not relatable enough to set the hooks in. I want to like this so much, but it's just boring and painful to hear these people whine and bicker on end. Thanks, but spice it up a bit. It's like a curry without rice, sugar, or chicken. The flavor has some depth, but it's not really palatable.",5 "Without the good actors it would have been worse. locations and stuff seem low budget, all the money for the actors",6 "Captain America: Civil War is probably Marvel Studios' finest movie to date. The superhero registration act resembles that of the comics great, but halfway through the movie you can realize that the plot device is moved out of the focus, which you can either love or hate, depending on what you want to see. There's a lot of characters, and I really mean characters because of their distinct personalities and traits (Unless you haven't seen the other Marvel movies, in that case they are kinda good at best.) The characters developed a LOT in this movie (which is something to say since the other Marvel movies basically followed a formula.) So you will definitely see them changed to a certain degree in the next movies. One thought that crossed my mind in the cinema was: Was there too much going on? I'll admit, there was slightly too much going on in the movie, but what was in the film, they got the best out of. Another thing I personally thought was great about the movie is the change of tone. You get to see The Avengers in a different situation than before, and I think it's refreshing to see a very serious film. I'm also impressed that they pulled it off, since all of the other movies have always been light-hearted. Over-all this movie is incredible for any fan, and I can't recommend it enough. If you haven't seen the other MCU films then you won't like as much.",9 Stop after season 1. Stop after season 1. Stop after season 1.,5 "Haters can hate all they want. It's a brilliant movie. I could not have asked for anything more. In 2023, We live in a complex society with extreme sexism which has been brilliantly addressed by none other than Barbie! The last Product that one would expect to address this issue. Was it perfect, no- nothing is perfect today. It didn't cover many topics. But did it do an excellent job at covering the topic they decided to address - absolutely YES! They can take my money - again and again for creating content that is relevant and important and changes all our perspectives. The cast was brilliant. I can't believe how many people they roped in. And Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were AMAZING as Barbie and Ken.",10 "This show is a joy to watch. It's witty and light-hearted, which is exactly what we need right now. Very reminiscent of Clue.",8 PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING NEW EPISODES I LOVE THIS SHOW. It's a mix of everything I love and it's literally perfect. I love the characters. I love the concept. I love it all!,10 "Those who are fans of Black mirror S1-S5 and literally worshiped those episodes and patiently waited for S6 know exactly what I'm talking about. If you're new, don't start with that last season. It doesn't do previous seasons any justice. Start with season 1 and stop after last episode of season 5. Season 6 is so bad and lame it's a joke. Not just that actors are bad (they've put Selma Hayek in one episode and on the promo image as a clickbait and that's the only episode watchable and actually contains psychological effects), other episodes stories are off and not ,,black mirrory,, at all. It's like producers made them in a hurry with no passion or regards to the Black mirror concept. So disappointing. Just enjoy S1-S5 and stop right there.",1 "You will just love Pankaj Tripathi's act. Story is a blend, too funnt, awesome old track in background. Just watch it till end if you live twists. Its a pack of surprises. -1 star only fr unnecessary songs.",9 "This is probably the hardest movie for me to rate and review; how do you review a film where about half of it is great, and the rest(which pretty much means the other half) is awful? I decided to rate it a 5, since that seems to be the sensible thing to do in this situation. Like a few others have said, Tarantino's style is hip and makes you, the audience, feel hip. The dialog, the editing, the violence... the problem is, it's empty. The dialog is entirely superficial, which is OK if there's not too much of it or what there is there to be superficial. But here it carries half of the scenes. The dialog scenes(as pretty much everything else in the film) is very dull, visually. The camera doesn't move and rarely changes angle, and it's something that'll make you fall asleep, if the pointless, shallow dialogs don't do so first. The editing is daft as well. The violence is so over the top that you almost have to be mentally disturbed not to be affected(read: repulsed) by it... is that why it's there? Does Tarantino want to gross out his audience? Is that what it's about? The length and pace is horrible. I don't believe I've ever managed to sit through the entire thing attentively. The problem is not the length itself as much as what appears to be Tarantino yelling at his audience ""You want to see my movie? Well, you better prepare to sit there for what feels like 10 hours straight!"" Just to ensure that there are no misunderstandings; that was a metaphor. Tarantino doesn't *actually* yell at the audience. It just feels like it. The whole film feels like it's trying to get somewhere, to say something, but then the film is over, and it forgot to tell us what it was. The film is anticlimactic throughout(quite an achievement... usually only the end of a film is anticlimactic), and when it's done, you'll be saying to yourself ""That's it? What the heck was all that hype about?"" The truth is, in my opinion, a small group of Tarantino fans got together, and started 'converting' anyone they could find to love the film, and suddenly, this had taken over the general opinion on the film. Everybody thinks it's great, but no one can really explain why. I have yet to meet someone who've explained why Tarantino's films supposedly are great. Now don't get me wrong; I don't have anything against the guy. I like several of his films; Jackie Brown, From Dusk 'Till Dawn and Kill Bill 1&2. The problem here is that the film lacks any real substance. None of the characters are likable, not even slightly. They are killers, drug-dealers, psychos and morons. The film has the typical non-linear time-line which Tarantino utilizes in virtually all of his films. However, here it seems redundant, like it was just tagged on for no actual reason. Both volumes of Kill Bill were great because of good use of this; Pulp Fiction is not, because of the use of aforementioned effect is seemingly pointless here. The actors all play exactly the same type of character that they always play, with one or two possible exceptions. Samuel Jackson plays the 'violent, loud-mouthed individual with an unusual belief or philosophy' what do you know, that came right off his trademark section of his biography on this very site. John Travolta is the usual cool guy. Ving Rhames is the typical tough black guy, same as always. Do I need to go on? If you've read everything up to this point, you might think I hate this movie... I don't. I just dislike half of it. And that's just the thing... I can't entirely hate this. The scenes with Travolta and Jackson are pretty good, a few of the lines in the film are quotable, and most of the characters are well-cast. There you have it; half bad, half good. Better than Reservoir Dogs, but not as good as Jackie Brown and not even in the same league as the two Kill Bill films. I recommend this only to Tarantino junkies. Everyone should stay away, unless they are crazy about one or more actors in the film. If you do see it, only see it once and try to pay attention(even though it's really hard). 5/10",5 I didn't make it very far into the movie. It's completely incoherent. It's way over edited. I had a friend tell me it was terrible before I watched it but even with that warning and these reviews on here I couldn't have imagined it would be that bad. Don't even try.,1 "I quite like this show and the fact that things are complicated yet simple. Nice family drama and really like the Robot. All in all, a good series and I would like it if they make more seasons after season 3.",8 "Extraction (2020) really is just one of those movies. Violent, thrilling, and a hell of a time while watching! Chris Hemsworth may play Thor, but he is the ultimate action star and needs more roles in such movies. He is the perfect embodiment of BADASS! The overall story was compelling and intriguing as we follow Tyler Rake on a rescue mission.",7 "Season 2 Review : After a solid Season 1, Geralt is back wielding his two swords, in an improved season with streamlined storytelling and better lead character development. The production quality, cinematography and music is ridiculously good. And the way Geralt & Ciri's relationship develops, is very much the emotional core of the show. A lot of new & fan-favorite characters are introduced, some work others don't. The subplots aren't that interesting and the deviation from the books isn't well received. Still its one of the Better Fantasy shows out there & I'm looking forward to next season.",8 Stranger Things is pretty good. I like the story and the acting.,6 "This is going to be one of those films that a lot of people aren't going to like. Not because it's a bad movie, but because the title and the trailer make it sound like it's going to be violent and action filled, that its not. J.C. Chandor (All Is Lost) directs a movie that would be better suited to the decade that the film takes place, as I fear it will be lost in the instant gratification era that we live. Set in 1981 New York during one of the highest years of crime on record, Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis) plays ""Abel Moralles"" a sharp dresser and family man who has inherited a heat oil company. Life is going great until unknown assailants begin to hijack his oil trucks, and send him threats. His wife, played by Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) only complicates things as his company's bookkeeper and all around ball buster, constantly belittling him for not taking matters into his own hands. This is a quite, thinking mans movie, all the more reason most people will be turned off by it as it's being marketed as something more… violent.",6 "Mediocre movie, the 1994 version of Lion King is much better because of the characters and the scenario! The voice actors are bad unfortunately!",2 "Steven Soderbergh's debut film is voyeuristic, intense, gripping, and intriguing. It's the story of four people. Ann is a sexually repressed woman with an obsession for cleanliness and organization. Her husband, John, is a lawyer and he is cheating on his wife with her own sister, Cynthia. Ann lives oblivious to what is going on behind her back, despite her deteriorating sex life with John. But things really start to change Graham, an old friend of John's comes in town to visit. Graham is a strange man with an odd set of ideals who also has a fetish of filming women talk about their sexual fantasies. When these personalities conflict and intertwine things start to change dramatically and the tension rises all the way through Soderbergh's ingenious script and his quiet yet intensely focused direction of some fantastic performances. sex, lies, and videotape is a very risky film which graphically examines sex with the utmost seriousness. In this film sex isn't made into a joke like American Pie, and it isn't turned into some sadistic and grotesque motif like Se7en or Silence of the Lambs. Sex is looked at under a very dramatic and very sincere scope which treats it like any mature and significant piece of subject matter. This is what sets sex, lies, and videotape apart from so many other films of its nature. It is serious, but doesn't give the feeling that it takes itself too seriously. It has to be serious and it just wouldn't feel right for this film to not be as sincere as it is. The conversations Soderbergh has constructed here are something that need to be serious and need to be focused in order to get the artistic point across. And it is amazing how well the script is constructed. The dialouge feels incredibly real and it knows just when to pull out all of the dramatic stops. The script doesn't feel like it needs to be profoundly eloquent at all times. It is lighthearted and casual at the appropriate times, like when Graham first arrives and he, Ann, and John all sit around the dinner table casually discussing the past, the future, and life in general. But where the real genius comes in is when we realize that despite the present conversation being casual on the surface there is that constant underlying tension which escalates throughout the entire film until it all comes into fruition at the end of the film. The script has all these intelligible nuances that are absent in most ""serious"" films these days; something you don't really realize is missing until you see how well it can be done in a film like sex, lies, and videotape. Now obviously this is a very character driven story and I will admit that it is hard to build an emotional connection with any of the characters. To call them imperfect would be a grotesque understatement. The four of them are incredibly flawed people who in retrospect, aren't really good people at all. They all have serious issues that affect their lives dramatically and create situations that are inescapably awful for everyone involved. But what the film lacks in emotion it makes up for in sheer intelligence. The film is so ingeniously crafted that a strong emotional connection to the characters would only cause a distraction to the film's clever craftsmanship. It's a common misconception that you need to feel strong sympathy for your protagonists in order for a film to be good. sex, lies, and videotape doesn't intend for you to connect with these people. We are only supposed to be fascinated and awestruck at their twisted and bizarre lives. And so to me, this film does its job and it does it well. However, you do feel a strong connection to the film itself and you do want to know what will happen to these people because of the enthralling way this story is told. The absolute beautiful intensity of the script with draw you in so strongly that you won't want to miss a second of it. There comes a point where you begin to feel you must know what happens to these people because you must know how Mr. Soderbergh intends on wrapping this intriguing drama up. sex, lies, and videotape is well written, well directed, and well acted so its already set up to be a great film. But then you add the pure ingenuity of the way the story is told and what a profound examination of human relationships it is and it is now a fantastic film. This isn't one of those films where you pick out particular scenes that you really liked or specific moments that really wowed you. The entire film cumulatively works together as one single wow moment that you just adore. This isn't a film that you will be strongly moved by and it won't bring you to tears, but it isn't trying to. It is a clever and sincere drama that treats mature adult subject matter the way it should be treated. Not as a joke, but as a basis for ingenuity.",9 """Wednesday"" is a series that takes us on a journey through the teenage years of the iconic character, Wednesday Addams. The show, which debuted in 2022, is a blend of fantasy, comedy, and crime, with a plot that revolves around Wednesday's attempts to master her psychic abilities, solve a supernatural mystery, and navigate her new life at Nevermore Academy. The series is particularly appealing to a younger audience, with its focus on teenage storytelling and the theme of outcasts. The first half of the series is particularly engaging, with a stronger plot and theme development. However, some of the later episodes tend to repeat certain elements, which can feel a bit redundant. Jenna Ortega's portrayal of Wednesday Addams is commendable, capturing the essence of the character perfectly. The series also explores the theme of embracing one's differences, a message that resonates with teenagers. However, the series is not without its flaws. The plot, while intriguing, can sometimes feel a bit forced, especially in the later episodes. The series also deviates from the original Addams Family's focus on family unity, which might disappoint some fans. Despite these shortcomings, ""Wednesday"" is a worthwhile watch, especially for fans of the Addams Family and young adults looking for a series that combines mystery, supernatural elements, and teenage drama. It's a solid 7 out of 10, with its unique take on a beloved character and a plot that, while occasionally repetitive, offers enough intrigue to keep viewers hooked.",7 The sublime transcendence between timelines is a thing of pure magic.,10 "The Witcher is a legend in the world. It wasn't until the game series made this knowledge accessible to everyone (not that it wasn't, but, there's no denying the massive spike in popularity following the game). The game was great - 100s of hours of content. The books? Also great. Same amount of content. This is a problem, especially with those who are fans of high fantasy and world building. When a series is as beloved as the Witcher, people 'expect' the books or the games. For all of you who wanted this, understand that this is unreasonable. 8 hours. That's how much time this season had. Do you think people would have watched the series if Villentretenmerth spent an entire episode ordering food and hanging out in a tavern? Because they wouldn't. That's how much time the books spent on it. Great scene in the book: bad television. Now, to the review. The first time I watched the series, I will admit that I, like so many others, was a bit lost to the timeline. This was annoying. Let me say, on my 8th time through, it is incredibly charming and I absolutely love it. There are bits of dialog that are missed that make me say ""Gah! So obvious what was going on!"" that I truly enjoy. Now, I'm not recommending people watch it 8 times. Most of these revelations came on the second go through. It was not a one watch and I'm glad for it because I enjoy it more and more each time. Acting...I think people are ridiculously harsh. It was grade A. Henry Cavill was obviously outstanding but Dandelion and Yennefer and Ciri and so many others were just perfect. The other actors around were standard, medieval fantasy B grade or better. Calm down everyone. This is a high budget fantasy show. I know, you could always watch...GoT again? Or...Merlin? Or Seeker? ""Mr. Frodo!!!"" Right, because the acting in each of those was always flawless. I think overall, the acting was completely acceptable and will only get better with time. Except Geralt. I cannot see how he could get better. The story...some of the episodes were so closely tied to the books it was startling how much information they packed into such a small amount of time. Some of them made some changes that I would have loved to see played out. Remember the movie scenes of the barrow downs? And Tom Bombadil? The sacking of the Shire? Yeah...me either. Sometimes, be it budget or just the way it played out, it doesn't work. It doesn't mean it isn't good. It just means it was different. The approach they took to story telling was incredibly brave (and polarizing). They needed to get several main characters into the plot quickly. Most of the story is about Geralt but that doesn't mean the other characters aren't interesting. The character development approach of blending stories and timelines served its purpose: lots and lots of facts and info thrown at you quickly and in various order to further the understanding of a characters' plights. I love how people are frustrated with ""character development"". This MUST be coming from people who didn't read the books because there is essentially none in the first book. It was written VERY much like the show (plus adding Ciri to get some amount of plot moving). I was thoroughly impressed with how much history they tried to cram in. Remember-these characters are VERY old. They've lived several lifetimes so in order to get to Ciri (the crux of the plot) you need to cover a lot of ground quickly. Butcher of Blaviken doesn't mean much without the background. Sterility doesn't sell unless you can understand the hows and whys it is like it is. Do we need to know about Yennefer's time in court? No...but it helps understand her motivations. Anyway, the show's creator said they were not going to do the timeline jumping anymore. That was a one season gag so those of you that hated that you didn't have all the information given in order: don't worry. It's all done now. The quality...I'll keep it brief because there are two kinds of people out there: those who think Merlin had great effects and those who didn't like that Captain America's shield didn't have the correct amount of light reflecting based off the amount of power being directed at it given the light conditions when Tony Stark fired his hand lasers at it. Graphics were great. Not perfect but better than 99% of fantasy shows that have ever been made. Fight scenes were outstanding. Sets were fine - good enough. I think the production quality was great. I actually like the blending of CGI with actual prosthetics. It looked good! The bad...I touched on a little of it. I think that the timeline jumping was polarizing. I'm glad they did it, but it definitely hurt the series so I wish they hadn't because I REALLY want them to keep making this show. I'll give into the masses to keep a high budget, high fantasy show on air. ...The dragon was bad. Terrible actually. I thought by this point 'dragon' CGI would be available on fiver. I don't know why they did it they way they did, but coming off the heels of GoT, people were definitely going to be judging the dragon. I liked the episode but yeah...cat-like well done dragon he was not. Also, the Zerrikanians were completely wrong. They were supposed to be powerful and strong willed but not....boring. ...Netflix-ification. I'm not going into details. If you don't know what this is, you're lying or you're blind. If you do, you already know what I'm going to say. I really wanted was a snow skinned, red haired, overly flirtatious Triss. Nothing against Anna Shaffer, she's just not...lets say Becca Scott. Anyway, I loved the show. Loved it. Every episode. This show is worth two watches. If you say ""I'm lost so I hate it"" just stick it out for the guts and glory and try to grab as much as you can the first time and watch it again, knowing that there is no good fantasy show coming out for a LONG time. If you are watching this, you like fantasy. Be honest...you want to love this show. And you will if you understand that the first time through you may be a little lost.",9 "There's a ton of reviews on this one, as a non-Indian who gets to watch a decent amount of Bollywood I agree with the mainstream view here that ""Fan"" is a decent thriller with a return of SRK to old form after a few lackluster movies. Quite a few reviews here claim that this is a remake of 1996's ""The Fan"" starring Robert De Niro as the obsessed fan of a baseball star played by Wesley Snipes. This is simply not true. There is no hint of identity theft in that film (but family theft, yes). This is the crucial element here so the comparison is completely off the mark. It is, however, justified to say that this kind of story has been done many, many times, as in the rather gory ""Fan"" of 1981 starring Lauren Bacall and Michael Biehn or the similar German ""Trance"" (1982). I found myself waiting in vain for any surprises, even though SRK's performance makes it worth to watch. It is also true, as some reviewers have pointed out, that the settings make some plot elements unrealistic. For instance, you cannot wear a hood in London's attractions, let alone a gun. The entire city is under CCTV surveillance so jogging with a hood will alarm police. To use Blenheim Palace, a well-known historical landmark and birthplace of Winston Churchill, as a private residence of an Indian mogul located in Dubrovnik, makes this movie a bit ridiculous to Europeans and may have harmed its marketability. It's fine to set a chase scene in Dubrovnik, a very beautiful city, but it stretches just about any credibility when you have SRK start to give chase outside of a huge English palace and then cut straight to the rooftops of a medieval Mediterranean port. That's kinda like have him step out of the Taj Mahal and run down the streets of Shimla. So it's not a disappointing film, just the script is rather lazy and one would have expected a surprise turn of events, like Aryan realizing that his crazed fan is actually his schizoid other self. SRK could have pulled that off. There's a lot of build-up petering out to nowhere.",6 "There's a lot to like about this show but it has some pretty big plot holes that pull it down. Also, the entire mystery gets resolved in the finale thanks to a cheesy plot twist that happens do to coincidence and dumb luck. Not police work or detective skills. It kinda ruins everything leading up to that point.",5 "This movie is a beautiful cinematic piece, with great story telling and beautiful camera shots. There's enough mystery to keep viewer entertained from beginning to end. However, this movie is full of paradox that goes against all ""common sense"" as we often think about time travel, which make it hard to understand. So hard that to some people, this movie may be unacceptably incomprehensible or in other way logically impossible (assume that we already accepted time travel). If you are into sci-fi and willing to see something crazily mind- bending out-of-the-box --> give it a try. If you are strict about logic and want movies that make sense --> be careful because Predestination is a movie that will likely provide none of that.",6 "Nothing but special effects, boring plot, and lame acting. I will never see this silly film again. Save time and money and watch ""Dark City"" instead!!!",4 "Bad script ... Great special effects ... This film almost loses all of the warmth for the main characters, that the first film engendered. It's a Di- Sars- ta darling, and the writing and wooly plot are to blame. C'mon, you've got a great cast and and all of the special effects that money can buy, this film should be SO much better, but it's a yawn fest. Everything else, the costumes, the acting, the sets are all bang on, but it's an empty gesture without a solid script. I'm beginning to think that you can have too much of a good thing and that really the world doesn't need to hear anymore from this franchise. It's a cold, calculated money grubbing exercise, and it should stop. The magic is over.",6 "To be clear, ""Russian Doll"" is one of those series that makes you reflect deeply on life facets - especially in the aspects of death and redemption- and the nature of the human being in general terms. Although I've to recognize that the series itself is good and that it even shares a similar premise and positive aspects of ""Maniac"" (another Netflix original series that I previously evaluated), I felt that it left a little to be desired in some aspects...At least in Season 1. The big problem that Season 1 had was that the way the plot unfolded was turbulent and a bit weak, especially in the first two episodes, where Nadia's dynamics were so repetitive that it was frustrating and confusing at times. It wasn't until the third episode -where the co-star, Alan, enters into scene- onwards that the plot begins to settle on solid ground and show off its potential until reaching a successful conclusion. In my opinion, although they done something similar to what ""Maniac"" did regarding the viewer engagement with the story and the characters, it could have been better. The characters' development and chemistry factors also suffered during the course of Season 1, mainly due to the fact that by placing divergent personalities in them, they made them (the characters) less accessible mutually and I would say that also with the audience. However, they were able to settle both aspects well in the end. Regarding the rest (cinematography, soundtracks, comedy-drama genre implementation), I give them a high praise. As I said previously, the series is not bad at all and has good potential, so I'll be looking forward to Season 2. However, there's some improvements that has to be done if it wants to enter the major leagues.",7 Why this series need this dr smith character. This character make me nervous. I curse the sciptwriters every second. How did they screw up such a great topic? Don't waste your time. Cus this series is trash.,1 "It may have a been a very violent year in reality , but the Producer of this movie clearly decided not to reveal much of it . Boring - just meanders from one talking scene to the next , then just when you think something explosive it about to happen ...fsssttt nothing! It was only that (unrealized) expectation that something must happen that kept me going until the end . Not recommended",5 "Season 1: The first season of 13 Reasons Why was a pretty good season, based on the book ""Thirteen Reasons Why"" by Jay Asher, and you can tell that the writing is at it's best in this season because of source material. This season was a pretty good rendition of the original novel, and it should have kept that way. Performances were pretty good and that is pretty consistent through all the seasons, however the writing is not consistent as the show goes on. Season 2: This is when the show starts to falter quite a bit, I just found this season to be extremely boring, with a bunch of pointless scenes that didn't mean anything just to fill up the 13 episode mark. It isn't as consistent as season 1 where we follow Clay as he's listening to Hannah's tapes and Hannah is narrating, there is always a different person narrating each episode of season 2, and each episode follows a court case for each student which was slow and boring. The last episode was also terrible. Season 3: This is when I lose complete faith of this show, going from a teen drama about a girl that commits suicide to a murder mystery about who killed Bryce Walker. Bryce is by far the most evil person in the show and is kinda like the villain in seasons 1 and 2. But now he's all of a sudden a good person... yeah I don't buy it! And don't get me started on Ani the overall worst and most annoying character in the show. Season 4: This season was kinda on par with season 2, overall it wasn't that good but it did have some good moments here and there, however this season probably has the worst episode of the show which is ""Senior Camping Trip"" haven't seen such a weird and stupid episode in a long time. However the ending to the series was satisfying and I did like it. Season 1 - 8/10 Season 2 - 5/10 Season 3 - 3/10 Season 4 - 5/10 Overall - 5/10",3 "First season was quirky, fun and entertaining. 2nd season is yet another SJW preaching moment. It's boring, forced and unnecessary. Can we for once be simply entertained by Hollywood? GAH!!!",4 "If DEVS was from anyone other than Alex Garland I would have turned it off well before the final episode. However, the final episode redeems things significantly, but possibly far too late. But Garland seems to be picking up bad habits the older he gets. I loved Ex Machina/Dredd/Never Let Me Go/28DL. But found Annihilation a bit of a grind. Here, just like in Annihilation, the characters all talk s l o w l y the whole way through and it is a trait I really hope Garland learns to omit in future films/shows. It is not something that makes words sound deep, it just serves to annoy (me at least). I muttered to myself ""just get on with it!"" numerous times. I found the soundtrack incredibly annoying throughout also with its unwelcome bursts when you are least expecting it. The plot is achingly slow based on dubious science. However, the final episode did make me reassess everything and was interesting enough to make me want to rewatch some earlier scenes. I just wonder how many people will get that far.......",4 "It is Overrated . The plot is very childish .. More for teenagers ..

An action movie with Chris Hemsworth's starring stature could have been based on a far more formidable storyline. This should have been filmed in India totally. The weird Bangla accent is anything but Bangladeshi or 'Dhakaiya' Bangla. An ensemble of strange looking cast, who neither look like or talk like people of Dhaka, is another weak work. Writers/producers of this movie should acclimatize themselves with the location where their movies are based. Come and stay physically or get on to the Internet to find movies/dramas of the original location. And by the way, Dhaka has never seen anything even remotely close to the magnitude of violence that has been depicted. And a gangster criminal with his own force in uniform and AK-47 and host of weapons - that's utterly ridiculous to the context of Dhaka. Poor work! Giving it 4-star only for Chris and his actions.",4 "I enjoyed it. It wasn't too scary, which I like. Dark humour via Malkovich. Interesting premise that held my interest even if you kind of knew the ending because they told you from the start. The review section is like - as I think Americans would call it - a dumpster fire. Wow. So much bile and vitriol. It's a movie. Chill. It never poses itself as an intellectual affair, and you do not need to demonstrate your intellectual prowess by dissecting the movie. No I don't need the all the answers. Mysteries are fine. These reviewers are probably the people that will then go watch ET and go ""WHY IS THE ALIEN HERE? HOW DOES THE BIKE LEVITATE?"" etc. Breathe deeply, and relax. Watch it, enjoy it. Enjoy life.",7 "Waste of time, they can't even represent bangla language properly.",1 Lost me in the first episode. Very bulky editing and storytelling of Ganesh Gaitonde past life.,1 "Fargo (1996) : Brief Review - Giving a birth to rare genre ""A Comical homicide thriller"". Homicide and crime thrillers haven't been more crunchy and lighter than this. Fargo is that rare genre making film which stays in mind for using all cinematic methods far away from Mainstream cinema. A rich plot having so many characters included, having so many incidents included yet meeting each other at the end. A crook hires two professional criminals to kidnap his own wife to get handsome amount from his Father-in-law who despises him. A planning goes wrong by human errors and everything is messed and then how a pregnant and clever cop investigates it is all about interesting story of Fargo. The runtime is short about 98 minutes with no boring moments but certainly has plenty of useless scenes for the sake of entertainment. Comical touch given to the entire Film from characters to situations to the dialogues keeps it engaging. Frances McDormand scores strong merits in her lovable role. All male actors have done a great deal of job in every freaking scene. Joel Coen in Director's chair handles the overall narrative with care but gives away lot of scenes to point a finger on him. I don't really see any logic in that scene when the Pregnant Cop meets her old friend or should i say Ex-boyfriend and suddenly the scene is cut without any clear ending. The next mention comes when she realises that he was a psychotic, well, what difference does that make to her and to the story and to the audience? Comedy is one of the biggest saving grace of the film because such dark stories look bore without humourous shades. Overall, Fargo put up a great show in quick time of 100 minutes and you don't have anything to be disappointed so watch it anytime you feel like watching a crime film in feel-good movie genre. RATING - 7/10* By - #samthebestest",7 "Judd Apatow has done the impossible. He has crafted, over the past few years, a series of movies that have sealed his name as a franchise; just as the name Quentin Tarantino attached to a crime movie means something to the movie going crowd, as such has Judd Apatow's name attached to a comedy become to mean something similar. Whether he's directing or just producing, Apatow and his troupe of actors, many of which appeared on his early, short-lived and underrated television program ""Freaks and Geeks"" bring a certain something more to the otherwise average romantic comedy genre. Indeed, like most of the previous movies attached to his name, Forgetting Sarah Marshall features a fairly simple, typical set-up and storyline for a romantic screwball comedy: A man is dumped by his girlfriend and he decides to take a vacation at the same resort his girlfriend and her new man are vacationing at, all the while falling in love with another girl who is clearly far more perfect for him. But Apatow, or in this case, his faithful troupe of actors, give the film a little something more that elevates it above other average comedies. That certain something is a sense of down-to-earthiness, crafting real, fleshed-out characters that most of us can fairly easily identify with – because they are essentially playing themselves, which is more than often famous, older versions of us – funny, awkward, movie-loving geeks. In continuing with his trend of giving lead starring roles to the actors who appeared on Freaks and Geeks and in small but hilarious supporting roles in his films – last year the breakthrough leading role was given to Seth Rogen – Forgetting Sarah Marshall stars Jason Segel, who finally gets a chance to showcase his true talent, and he certainly impresses. Besides delivering a hilarious, poignant performance in the film, Segel wrote not only the film's screenplay but also the numerous original songs that appear throughout it, including the musical numbers to the Dracula puppet musical. I can only hope that Segel will enjoy a slightly more mainstream success just like Seth Rogen has been since the release of Knocked Up last summer. But the real show-stealers are the various members of the supporting cast. First off, the Apatow regulars Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd and Bill Hader who are funny as ever with their quick-witted, probably mostly improvised comedic performances and who provide the flair and the extra punch with their supporting turns. Next up are the totally different, very British comedic styles of Russell Brand. Anyone who has seen The Big Fat Quiz of the Year will know that his performance in Forgetting Sarah Marshall is just a taste of his comedic brilliance. And then there is Mila Kunis, who takes a sharp 90-degree turn from the annoying loudmouth character of Jackie Burkhart as seen on That 70's Show and who personifies absolutely the sweetest most lovable girl possible. Kristen Bell is okay but probably the most uninspired casting in the film. In all, a very particular and absolutely hilarious sense of humour, along with a level of charm and believability elevate this film above the average romantic comedy.",7 "Unlike the other six novels in the Harry Potter series ""Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"" is being filmed in two parts of which this is the first, Part Two being slated for release in July 2011. The reason for this is that J. K. Rowling's last Potter novel is a long and complex one and that to film it all in one go would either result in a movie of insane length or involve omitting many scenes and details from the book, something which Potter anoraks would never forgive. (The film-makers took plenty of flak for altering some of Rowling's plot details in the earlier instalments). It has become a commonplace to remark that the Potter series has been getting progressively ""darker"", both literally and metaphorically, ever since the third episode, ""Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"", and ""Deathly Hallows"" continues this trend. The plot is a complex one, concentrating on the efforts of Harry, Ron and Hermione to I will not attempt to summarise it here2010/2011 two-part epic fantasy film to find and destroy the Horcruxes, magical objects which hold Voldemort's secret of immortality. The Deathly Hallows of the title are three other magical objects which play an important part in the plot. This film is the first in the series not to be set in Hogwarts School (although we learn that Severus Snape is the new headmaster). Since the death of Albus Dumbledore at the end of the sixth film, there has been a revolution in the wizarding world. Lord Voldemort and his supporters, the Death Eaters, have taken control of the Ministry of Magic and are using their new-found power to impose a quasi-Nazi dictatorship and to persecute Muggle-born or mixed-blood wizards. Whereas the atmosphere of the earlier instalments, especially those directed by Chris Columbus, resembled that of the traditional British boarding school story with added magical elements, parts of ""Deathly Hallows"" are closer to Orwell's ""1984"" or similar dystopian satires. ""Deathly Hallows Part 1"" is not my favourite of the Harry Potter series; I certainly did not enjoy it as much as the previous entry, ""Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"". The acting is as good as ever, well up to the normal standards of the series, but the character of Albus Dumbledore was sadly missed. (He died at the end of ""Half-Blood Prince""). Whether played by Richard Harris or Michael Gambon, Dumbledore functioned as a source of wisdom and authority, the moral anchor of the series, and his absence from this film means that something feels lacking. The decision to film the novel in two parts does not seem to have come off, at least as far as Part 1 is concerned. Whereas all the earlier films ended with a satisfying resolution, this one comes to a rather abrupt close, leaving the plot hanging in mid-air. For all its length (nearly 2 1/2 hours), ""Deathly Hallows Part 1"" feels less like a film in its own right than an introduction to another film which will not be released for another few months. We can only hope that part 2 will be better. 6/10",6 "I came into the show hoping for the best as both a long time fan of the books and video games and what I saw was a frustrated director's fan-fiction of the first book. It is a non-sensical mess that makes you feel nothing but a bitter feeling of utter disappointment. It really is a shame. Somehow, the screenwriters has some of the best and most three-dimensional characters in all of media and they still made them suck. The characters have no goals and and they seem to change every minute or so. They are inconsistent and unbelievable shadows of the characters. They don't go through arcs, making the story even more boring. Half of the scenes feel useless to both the plot and character development, and the other half is a direct copy of the books that is somehow so bad that it sucks as much as the other half. I really don't understand from where these high scores for the show are coming from. The show makes no attempt to explain what is hoping on to average viewers and it is still so trash that fans cant enjoy it either bringing the question of who is this intended to? If you're a fan its worth watching while as background noise, and if you're new, don't waste your time.",3 "I tried to watch this film a couple of years ago... since it is so hyped, and I'd never seen it before, I thought it would be worth seeing. I was wrong. Seriously, I found it hard to stay awake during the film - and eventually had to give up just over halfway through, and find something more interesting to do. This is a shame, because quite possibly it might have got more interesting towards the end - but it did not retain my interest for long enough. I did see the infamous scene with the horse's head, expecting it to be some cinematic masterpiece, but... no, even that was an anticlimax.",2 "I note that three people worked on this script. It's a real shame they never thought to actually meet each other and nobody told which kind of film they were supposed to be making. The film starts okay, and continues being okay for a good third of its runtime with some nicely done sequences. Then it starts to go downhill and I immediately started worrying that its vast ego was going to get in the way of a good story. Spoiler, it did. The plotpoints were pulled from a hat. I cannot think of any other way this story could have come together. Numerous scenes have little to no purpose and seem so out of place they could be from a completely different film. There are two plot twists that happen within a minute of each other towards the end that are both astoundingly nonsensical, as they go directly against the tone of the entire film - rendering a potentially decent climax utterly useless as the writers (probably completely unselfconsciously) demonstrate that they don't have anything like the skill required for what they've set up and just decide to throw reveals, dramatic music and camera sweeps into the bucket and hope to bob you don't notice that none of it makes any sense. It is a watchable film, I'll give it that, but I really really tried to turn my brain off only to find my spinal cord telescoping with shock at the unbelievable number of plot holes. I wouldn't definitely not recommend it, but be prepared that it it really seriously, seriously stupid. If the writers are reading this I might suggest they be a little more realistic about their abilities next time.",3 "Ive been a James Wan horror fan since the first Insidious movie, I was hooked! I've always loved horror and definitely his movies. For me, this Annabelle movie might be the weakest of the franchise. I didn't not feel that there was enough story to really entertain. I caught that a bit with La Llorona too although I felt this Annabelle movie had even less story. Part of what drew me to James Wan's movies were the stories and attachment to the characters. Producers need to go back and focus on the storyline more rather than just throwing a bunch of things out there, hoping it works. Not a terrible movie by any means by a little disappointing in my opinion.",6 "The actors in this movie were two words away from mistakenly speak Hindi while speaking Bangla, it was that bad.

Both prequels feature a few famous names with large supporting casts of mostly new and inexperienced actors. Season 8 of GoT was better than either of the imitators.

I first wanted to inquire a bit into the opinions of my friends, and check myself whether I am missing something. Seems that I did not. I approach the issue of Wolf of Wall Street (WWS) movie with the question what was the main point of the movie? When people do or create things, they usually aim to make a point, at least 95% of the cases, excluding those that are doing things just for the sake of it. Here we talk about a movie. Here are some of the possible points WWS (in this case its director Scorsese) tried to make, and whether the means he used to make the point, actually served its purpose. Even if one does not want to moralize the story and just watch, a couple of ideas yet are hinted. According to the last part of the movie we might propose that the point was to learn how to sell a pen- first create a demand. This is I think quite a cheap point for an excessively long movie, since it is lesson 101 in each economy class. I wonder why this was depicted with the deep look in Belfort's eyes by the end of the movie when he was holding a seminar. I would have understood it as the starting point of an interesting, challenging money game that unravels throughout the movie, but this was basically it! Just make people believe they need this particular product! But hold on, this came only after he experienced personality transformation, got terribly rich by fraud and enjoyed sex, drugs and money to its fullest. Yet he has a lesson for us. Second point might be that power corrupts. But did we really need to swallow all that nudity, promiscuity, and orgies to get this point? Many movies capture this perfectly by telling a story, describing a historical event, even great fiction, but not taping semi- porn. The legal system holes. Probably movies can present realities, hence raise awareness of the issues with legislation and its paradoxes, the flourishing of corruption, and the easily corruptible heart of men (as Lord of the Rings clearly and nicely depicts). But by the sheer snugger to these facts, this movie says rather go get them than go fix them! I also wonder whether the point was to bluntly present reality of Wall Street. Then this is kind of a descriptive argument, for which I think a documentary rather then a classical movie is required. Why watch 3 hours reality of Wall Street, instead of watching a good documentary with a warning of the contaminating content it contains. Good performance of DiCaprio? Yes, he is witty, courageously teaching us directly speaking to the camera, amusing us with the Lamborghini part performance… but really, is there anyone who decided that this is this movie's take away lesson? Additionally to these murky points, this movie also puzzles its audience with absurdity rather then cleverness. Has anybody noticed how on earth the nice looking young boy, just married, with a fuse to go work, earn, build a carrier and future, just in a second turns into fraudulent, tainted mind? I also wonder whether the director at all cares about the audience of the movie. Probably not, but generally, young and ambitions people are drawn to watch the movie, learn some more about money making or find at least bits of explanations why the economic crisis happens. Of course many young boys come to see it since the trailer promises fun, young buddy enjoying girls, cars, and using his super intelligence to get rich. But I guess most thought this was simply the context of a grander narrative. Well no, this was it. And these young boys simply take away this message to be very cool! I am not demanding a light at the end of the tunnel (the movie), but I expect myself to finish watching the movie, and have either an ""aha"" moment, or at least a question mark. This time my question mark really regards the very sake of making the movie, not the content itself. In this case, the end of the tunnel was the transformed Wolf teaching people how to sell a pen. If only they knew how this little trick has broader implications for turning the business world around them upside down and build them a temple to worship their deceit! The motives but foremost the point of this movie are entirely dubious. Dear Hollywood and Scorsese, in today's culture, the last thing we needed was yet another glorification of greed- there is plenty of it, both in movies and reality. How about some counter action to the media, fashion magazines and shiny attractive starry skies of materialism? How about many many more movies on personalities that do not just grasp opportunity whatever the price, but act and strive for what is right? Even if the motive for the movie was simply depiction of Belfort's life, Scorsese and Belfort and whoever thinking the project was worthwhile, should also know that no matter how meaningless, ideas have and will have consequences. The movie sets lowers the bar of decency, and I wonder what will be coming up next out of Hollywood in this vein?",2 "It's been three years since the First Avenger made it to the big screen and has made his move going through the Marvel marathon starting with his first solo movie and then continuing with 2012's crossover Avengers movie. He's played by Chris Evans, the guy (the actor not the other one) that played Johnny Storm/Human Torch in Marvel's Fantastic Four movies if that sound's familiar to some. As Captain America/Steve Rogers still struggles settling into the world he's living in after defeating the Hitler-like villain Red Skull in World War II and then waking up in the modern world in the disappointing first movie, a new threat comes in sight: the Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier. But with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Nick Fury (the 65-year-old Samuel L. Jackson), Falcon (Anthony Mackle) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) beside him, he can defeat the threat once and for all. If it is possible to stop him. Unlike many badly developed super villains like Parallax from the dreadfully disappointing ""Green Lantern"", Red Skull from the first Captain America movie and General Zod from the last year's dreadfully unevenly paced Man of Steel, the Winter Soldier is not a badly developed super villain; he could be one of the best. He wears a mask that seems far more complex than the one Tom Hardy's Bane wears in The Dark Knight Rises. At one point I thought it was played by The Hobbit's Richard Armatage (Thorin Oakenshield) but he wasn't, it was played by Sebastian Stan. There's a new hero in town: Falcon (Sam Wilson, real name), a new superhero that can fly like a talented bird of prey. He is played by Anthony Mackle who you may recognise from last year's ""experimental"" Gangster Squad. When he and Cap have screen-time together, I thought it was familiar to the Iron Man duo (Robert Downey, Jr. and Don Cheadle). Scarlett Johannson's Black Widow probably has more screen-time than in previous films. Her hair style's changed from short to long, but her fight scenes certainly haven't changed. This is probably a Marvel movie we've been waiting for. If you've watched 'Avengers Assemble' you may find a few elements in this a little familiar. This is proof that the Marvel movies are getting better. Before 'Avengers Assemble', some of the Marvel movies were average. It was the 'Thor' and 'Captain America' predecessors that sucked, and a little of the Hulk remake (not completely) but no way the Iron Man predecessors sucked, although it was said that Iron Man 2 wasn't as good as the original, it doesn't mean to say it sucked. So this is how the sequel is and should be taught as: bigger, better, and darker than its predecessor. Because the predecessor was set back in World War II time, it had old fashioned superhero set-pieces meanwhile this one has modern Avengers-like set-pieces. Although this is way better that The First Avenger, I'm not sure whether this even beats off Iron Man 3 but it is the best Marvel film since it though. Like I've said, it keeps close to 'Avengers Assemble', but doesn't beat it (probably next year's Age of Ultron will very well do). The action is exhilarating but unlike Iron Man 3 and Avengers' action, this action had less excitement in its heart to thrill me. I'm not completely criticising it all, but one little inch in perspective. This is a BIG sequel but its action had no heat-pounding substance to blow me away; I don't know it may be me or 'it'; you'll have to see for yourself. Ah yes, the one I must never forgot: the 3D. Now here's my verdict: good but not challenging enough. It's eye-popping, with the close-ups of faces, but in this one no stars and stripes shield comes flying at you or other catchy effects. It could be worth seeing in 3D if you're really bothered, but I don't think it matters, the experience is probably mainly for 2D but it's up to you. Like Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World, The Winter Soldier is a ""true"" sequel, even if it's trapped within the Marvel universe. It's not like Star Trek into Darkness where you could actually watch that sequel before the first one and it actually makes sense, the first Cap America you need to see before this one otherwise you probably won't know what the heck is going on (well maybe in the first act). Although this is probably the best one since Iron Man 3, its hero probably isn't the best of the Avengers. Some may find him a little boring. He has a steel shield that can be used for throwing and bouncing off things like a boomerang; without it, he can only use his fists. Not many powers for him. He's like Thor: he has a steel hammer that he throws and comes back to him unhanded. Don't you like superheroes with only one piece of weaponry and that's it? I don't really notice that. I just respect superheroes the way they are; not with how much weaponry they've got. Marvel still goes on with humour, especially after 'Avengers Assemble' that was funnier than probably any other superhero movies at the time. A little amusing when Sam Wilson/Falcon asks Cap which people would be the bad guys during a fight. I would ruin the answer for you. There are still some wacky action moments too. There's one when Cap single-handedly takes down a ship in less than 10 seconds. But it's too quick to get you enthralled. Captain America is going well and hopefully will keep doing it as well in the future. Who knows what he has in store for his next outing. And by the way, stay for the end credits; otherwise you'll miss something special",7 "Terrible story, built on hate. Very shallow. I was hoping there would be more talent in the writing of this movie but alas, to no avail.it would be wonderful to see them put the time and effort into a story that makes you feel good and walk away with a positive message. When will this lame entertainment industry figure out that people want positive entertainment and not empty rhetoric. I will not continue to go to movies that just have beautiful scenery with no story to sink your teeth into. There are so many better writers out there. Why not look for one with an original plot and positive outlook on life.",4 "Wished they used just one consultant who read some geography or history books instead of paying that much for crashing lots of vehicles. If you don't do so, then don't use real world info crumbs. Can only be watched for the crew.",3 "Watched My Sassy girl as a big fan of Korean cinema and kdramas. Instantly recognised the lead actors as they're prolific actors in kdramas. My Sassy girl has a pretty unique premise, and has very Korean humour. I do love how the film borders the bizarre and extreme, but also doesn't overdo the romantic side despite primarily being a romantic movie. That being said there 2 things than Korean media typically does which I find especially frustrating in this movie. One is grotesque humour - don't watch this whilst eating. Two is the ""x years later"" trope. I find it very lazy writing, and unfortunately Korean movies and dramas do it A LOT. It also happens in My Sassy Girl, and it really feels like the movie unravels when it happens, I felt this was a 9/10 movie until the ""x months/years later"" crutch starts happening and the movie immediately ceased to be engaging to me. Despite these shortcomings, the movie is definitely worth a watch.",7 "What a waste of time it was. Bad everything - plot, acting, primitive computer graphics. I though I was watching 90-s movie.",2 "For me this is a solid 7 out of 10. It achieves my main objective of not having a contrived storyline whilst indulging in too many myths which surround the war. It was gritty, superbly shot, decently acted and had some genuinely beautiful moments in. There are only a few bits which let it down. And it is only a few. Some of the action sequences were a bit too unrealistic. And some of the dialogue was a bit awkward. But overall these things detract very little from what is a solidly good film in a war which is seldom touched by filmmakers.",7 This Part II is a bit slow at the beginning and I was still not impressed by Depp's performance as Grindelwald from Part I but Young Newt is worth his few minutes on screen while waiting for an amazing finish and cliffhanger (I can't believe I gently waited 4 years to watch Part III).,6 "I'm a little lost on how this movie is getting so many high reviews. Its a good looking movie, but the characters are relatively uninteresting and the best thing about the music is that they're not always singing. It just seemed to drag on and on. And on. And on.",4 "This show is a sausage fest. The 4 female characters that are actually interesting exist as appendages to their male counterparts. They are incapable of completing tasks of their own autonomy, or of having character development separate from each of their respective male love interests. They are boring, underdeveloped, and watered down. Duffer Brothers, please get out of the house and talk to any woman ever.",4 "This movie seemed to be way overrated. The plot was OK and the story was fairly interesting, but I thought it moved too slow and that the characters were either boring or too over-the-top.",1 "It's a shame, it really is. I already felt it once i had seen the first episode, that this show lacks confidence in itself. They tried to tell too much in that episode, tried to establish too many characters, and in doing so, delivered the most predictable kind of story you could ever imagine, we are talking 80's B movie type of storytelling here, with the most stereotypical characters you've ever seen. They had so many great opportunities to make this right, by letting us get to know Castle a little better first, before throwing it all into the blender and hope for the best. I don't care who lives or dies if i don't know any of the characters, why would i? So unexpected that Marvel, which time and time again have proved to deliver good stories for their characters, did this. They should have had more confidence and let the show start off slowly, and let the character build, and let the ""other villains"" develop, let us know what makes them tick, make them interesting, do something creative for f... sake. Instead we got this. A bag of mixed opportunities. The reason i believe, they want all in so fast is because they are not sure about their audience, so they throw in as much as they can and let the story and narrative suffer because of it. Well this is Michael Bay logic, and it does not work, it works on 12 year old's, too bad they are not allowed to watch this series huh? It's like this show spells ""Hey people who like violence and blood aren't all that smart, so don't bother making a good story"". But we have come to expect a lot from TV series in this century, with many great shows, as the medium provides the perfect platform for complex storytelling, which is very hard to achieve in the cinema where you usually only have 2-3 hours to accomplish the same thing. Therefor, wasting your talent when you have all these things to your advantage, is a cardinal sin. And what hurts me the most is that Jon Bernthal is perfect as The Punisher, he just has the right grit and inner fire this character needs, and i just want him to explode in anger at any moment. But when you can see exactly when that's going to happen 20-30 minutes before it does, well then the fun is over, then the scenes has no impact, i already played them in my head 10 times over when we come down to it. And the biggest surprise is that the scenes depicted in this series is far from as brutal as i imagined, for the most part not like the violence we saw in daredevil. And that is something i found puzzling, i thought it would be the other way around. It's not until the last 3 episodes where we really get the most violent scenes, and those are truly awesome, but why wait? Why wait to unleash the punisher until the very end? So we have a surprisingly gentle show here, with some dull dialogues, stereotype characters and not much depth. The only true great thing about the show is Jon Bernthal and his believable performance, but sadly he just has no time to develop or properly show his inner fire, instead we get those family flashback scenes over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again, until it becomes a parody in on itself. Why would they do this? Yes i get it, his family was murdered, yes i get it, this is what fuels his fire. But seriously.... Don't overdo it please, don't underestimate your audience. The first 3 episodes aren't all that good, but the season becomes better as it plays along, and the last 3 episodes is where the real stuff happens. But all in all, it's a good watch, i just wished it was more surprising and brutal, let's hope season 2 gives us more of that. BTW you guys remember that scene from daredevil where The Punisher is on the stand in court?. Where he says i'm the punisher and i'm gonna kill'em all?. Yeah that was a great scene, there we saw him, the real punisher. But that was in daredevil, here in his own show, we rarely see him like this, and that is just really weird. I give this show a 6 out of 10",5 "I have just seen ""Fargo"" and I must say that I was a bit disappointed. The first twenty minutes of this movie were very thrilling and promising. But then the film became weaker and weaker. Especially some dialogues are just horrible! Sometimes I asked myself, whether it was a thriller or a film for children learning English. The plot became boring, uninteresting and daft and all suspense went gone! The actors were quite good, the music could have been more diversified. All in all the film is not bad but the dialogues and the many deviations weaken the movie's quality a lot! It's a pity, the movie could have been much better!",5 "Good one-timer movie with great potential, ruined by poor, usual and boring tools for revelations.. Its good family comedy/drama crime story.. Some things and ideas were cliché , some were good and funny. Certainly its not movie which you will return to every 2 3 4 months like ocean eleven or predator, but it has quality.. Im not the one who trashes Johnson for Last Jedi but i dont think he is some kind of genius either.. Knives Out is very good one-timer with incredible cast and with the most beautiful living thing on the Earth (Ana de Armas). My problem with this movie is the cheesy , predictable and very usual choice of ending and picking the tools to create final revelation. The hidden flashbacks are key and its sad (or stupid ?) to decide NOT to show them to audience because you as the viewer cant play along and decifer who is the killer or the bad guy.. The most and second (but the biggest) problem is second half of the story. It derails from solving the murder case and focuses on social drama regarding with money and greed.. I mean i was very saddened how Johnson decided to finish this movie bc it derailed from detective crime comedy/drama to very mediocre and usual stuff with good guy (de Armas) and bad guy (..?..) Lastly , i blame Johnson to create very stupid and unnecessary political message by trying to say very liberal-ish ""Trump bad, illegal immigrants Good, common sense BAD , socialism Good ) . I mean, almost every movie by those very soft directors MUST annoy the half of audience and losing the touch with reality.",6 What a concept telling about students life of who preparing JEE or like that types of exam and also it's india first black and white series.,8 "Nothing but car chases, fighting, killing and one liners. Terrible movie.",3 "Season 1 was a disjointed mess, and season 2 takes the opportunity to poke fun at how hard to follow it was, before accusing the audience of being stupid for it. But the acknowledgment / snark aside, season 2 is eminently watchable, with a story that is progressing steadily, carried by some excellent actors. Although the twin lead's various grunts and squints make me laugh. I have not read the books, so can make no comparison, but the tale is interesting enough, and is done great justice by the excellent visual design, direction, cast and the solid sound design. Being 2022, we have a DIE/WOKE aesthetic, but it isn't in your face or distracting.",9 "I couldn't understand why ppl raved about this so much. If you haven't read the books, it will be confusing (never heard of these places or things before). Had to watch it 3x to understand the plot. Luckily, the 3rd time I turned on English captions and finally understood the appeal. Good CGI and interesting character development. Around episode 4/5, you realize half of it is in another time (ie flashback). Without subtitles, it's a 4/10. With the subtitles on, it's an 8 or 9. Can't wait to see season 2!",8 "The unpredictability in combination with lot's of good soundtracks makes it feel like you are watching a quentin tarantio movie, which is nice. Good writing, camerawork, editing and the cast is ok once you got to know them.",8 "In the golden age of television, this should have aimed higher, with laughs for starters, since this is supposed to be a comedy. The dialogues are good and the mystery unfolds nicely, my biggest problem was with Selena Gomez who I'm sure was brought to balance the old timers, which they didn't need and brings absolutely NOTHING to the table. She emotes NOTHING, communicates nothing and gives no clues as to what Mabel is thinking, feeling or even saying, since her deadpan delivery is just dead. I was drawn to this because it felt retro and fun but it's just uninmaginative and takes no risks.",5 "The body of this text will only focus on the first part of the title - the overrated part. Yes, the hostage rescue operation has been declassified, and I have read up on what I could find on the internet. Yes, it sounds like Argo diverts credit from the Canadians to the CIA. It also deviates too much for my taste from the actual historical events and the real stories of the people involved including that of Mendez. However, this is a movie, and it is made primarily for entertainment, even though it is unfortunate that producers don't shy away from going too far with their historical deviations... Therefore, in the category of historical accuracy, I am prepared to give Argo some slack despite the choices it makes that are entirely counter-productive to quality. I will, however, focus on why Argo fails to live up to the hype. The Iran hostage crisis is a significant milestone in the modern history of the Middle East, and I am deeply disappointed to see Argo fail to deliver any substance on the subject matter. This film could have been epic in the hands of the right people. Unfortunately, in its current state it deserves neither the awards nor a majority of the positive reviews it received. I am especially shocked it won Best Motion Picture of the Year over the likes of Django Unchained and Lincoln, both of which were nominated alongside Argo. First of all, two hours is not long enough for a plot of this magnitude. I will never understand why they always try to stay close to the magic 2-hour mark... If the plot, and in this case history(!), is being compromised for other factors, then the product lacks the quality the subject matter deserves. I just suggest people stop making historical events into production films if they will not do the history justice. In this regard, Argo doesn't devote enough screen time to tell the story in an adequate manner of how this blowback of a crisis came about. I am not here to suggest right from wrong in terms of foreign policy or internal affairs. As the viewer, I just want to see the complete story because only when both sides of the story are told do I walk away having extracted a lesson from the product. Now, the pace of this movie is already quick and leaves many holes where I would have liked to see more substance. Despite this pace, it barely manages to cover the main points to a conclusion. This is why I wish they had 3 hours of runtime or longer, provided they would have used that time productively... There is so much lacking in so many essential areas such as character development, the political build-up to the crisis, a convincing account of the Iranians' motivations for the attack on the embassy, and more... This is what I mean in saying that Argo could have been an epic film. Instead we have a lot of wasted potential. Finally, the escape sequence from the Canadian ambassador's house all the way to the aircraft being airborne is filled to the brim with cliché close-call sequences. While I will give Argo a millimeter more slack here because I don't want to discount the entertainment value of this, I will criticize the sheer lack of imagination of everyone involved on how to increase the suspense in a story. They had all the ingredients handed to them on a silver platter by actual historical events to have the audience at the edge of their seats for 2 hours, and they chose to do it only in the last 20 minutes and in the most implausible manner. Long story short (...is what this movie should have been called), Argo does not do justice to the history by which it was inspired. It fails to deliver any substance due to possibly lack of runtime and/or deliberate choices. Yet probably the worst legacy of Argo is the fact that no one else will attempt to make another film on this topic for decades now because it has already been made...",5 "There is a blank spot on tv shows that didint cleared bad bugs in government organization!

Most of the "" bad stuff"" wouldn't even have had a chance to happen or could be resolved instantly if only the characters would simply communicate like people do in real life.

Transitions and the music in the background gave it a great touch. The film might've been pretentious. Its based off of the slavery and a memoir by Solomon Northup.

We get to see his sagging penis flashed throughout the movie though (i suppose the writers were so frustrated with their inability to actually develop a worthwhile plot that they thought throwing in full frontal male nudity would make make up for its overall dreary stupidity, it only made it worse). The films continual crude scenes of awkward sex and the general focus on actual intercourse further added to its vitriol and made it seem like it was written by a 13 year old boy. which seems likely. The plot descended into such nothingness, i honestly stopped watching halfway through. I thought Russell brand would make the movie marginally worthwhile, but his personality doesn't even make whimper.

They should have used more cuts, or hire the main character who can fight more dynamically. What's the point of doing your own stunts, if they look weak and slow. Often bad guys just stand in place and do nothing, waiting for John to turn to them and kill them. Other times then run out of cover towards John while having a gun. It looks so bad, like in a B-movie, and definitely not believable. Bullets do nothing, and yet everyone uses them for some reason.

I found it to be okay. The music was good and Bradley Cooper really was good. I don't feel Lady GaGa ran with the role. I found her performance a little flat and lacking in emotion. As someone who is a huge fan of the 1976 version, this version was a far second. I do think Bradley Cooper was as good, if not better, than Kris K. But Lady Gaga didn't come close to Barbara Streisand. Also, the cute humor and playfulness of the characters in the early stage of their relationship was removed and that gave the 1976 version a lead in to the deeper feelings. Streisand ""sold"" that she loved that man. Lady Gaga didn't.",5 "Good fight scenes but nothing else. The first film was okay, nothing special and frankly overhyped.

Nicely done!",7 """Barbie"" could be a nice comedy, with a good message, that could be inspiring for the younger generations. The only thing that shines through this story is that patriarchy is an issue, however there is not a constructive thought that can add any value to this film. The director spoons the audience with trivial concepts through the dialogues and what is depicted here is that basically the world is just filled by bad men. This is not the representation of reality. I do not deny that there are still several issues linked to abuses towards women, but this in my opinion is not the right way to address this matter. I think that with more creativity and without forcing your morals, the message would come across either way. There was a lack of respect towards the whole audience. Probably Mattel thinks that people do not have any critical thinking and they are not able to elaborate their own opinions, but they need someone that tells them how they should think and feel towards certain matters. Greta Gerwig drafts some interesting critiques towards our society that unfortunately are not properly elaborated. The script lacks structure: the story feels rushed and there are certain narrative choices that do not make much sense. The main culprit of this confusion is the editing that looks cheap and incompetent, with scenes that do not match together. The characters have no depth and their progression is very superficial. I have to admit that overall the choreographic are nicely done and I actually liked the plastic and perfect world of Barbieland. The set designs were amazing and I truly enjoyed the general aesthetic of the film. There are a few funny moments that made me smile, but overall ""Barbie"" cannot even be considered a good comedy: jokes are not funny. Considering their sparkling careers, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling deserve so much better. Their performances are not that good and I think that Ken was extremely annoying,as the acting was too forced. This was an over-hyped film that I did not enjoy and I do not recommend it. My final rate is 4.",4 "I gave it two episodes to wow me. Not happening. It reminds me of Walking Dead. Decent writing and acting but a stupid premise and a plot with more holes than Swiss cheese. With so many truly great shows out there, I can't imagine why anyone would waste their time on this. I do like Pedro Pascal but his character is robotic, angry and not too bright. Tell me again how he's a survivor? In the beginning of episode one, the expert tells the soldier to bomb the city because there simply is no way for science to stop the fungal infection, yet we see that many people actually DO manage to survive. How is this? Because the show is based on a stupid video game and not science. To me this just shows how bad our society has gotten that we're praising a TV show based on a violent, first person shooter game.",3 It's just another dramatic portrayal of an already interesting story. The movie is entertaining but you can get more out of reading Wikipedia. I sound cynical but there is more to film than this.,6 "This has some exciting & tense moments. However, the climactic scene at the end was entirely too long. It got to be quite absurd & I couldn't wait for it to end because we all knew how it would end. It wasn't a horrible movie, but it could have been so much better in a much shorter running time.",5 "Hm. I really have nothing to say. Ok, its kinda propaganda, but this one is made for absolute morons.Ugly, deceitful, incompetent shi*.",1 "The series has been waiting a long time. But in the end, just an ordinary series with no features.",2 "A Masterpiece at it's finest. Aside from all the delicious disturbances, a beast whispering in a delusional chrysalis. Moth or butterfly yet to hatch. ""I don't find you that interesting"" ""You will"" - this two lines represents the whole series. A thriller like never before. I always thought no one can match up to Hopkin's Hannibal, until I witness this spectacular show. Not only it beats man-eater but every Hannibal work ever made. Will Graham and Hannibal truly justifies Thomas Harris's franchise. Music were mesmerizing. Dinners were delicious. Make me desire for them, even if it's human flesh. And last but not the least, cinematographies were the gems of this show",10 "Yes, I am one of those geeks who loves all the campy Evil Dead movies... and that is what makes the triumph of this film franchise so much sweeter... to see Sam Raimi be able to retain his edge in film-making with a big Hollywood budget is truly an amazing feet. This movie packs more visual punch than the first and spends time developing the intricacies of Peter's duality. The only thing I wonder is if this movie will be too intense for younger audiences. The operating room scene with Dr. Octavius was a true Raimi masterpiece of manic camera movements and dramatic editing, but I wondered for a moment if it was too violent for some of the younger kids... I would say that this movie has definitely taken the summer blockbuster title thus far...This movie is equal parts stunning, hilarious and brilliant! See it as soon as you can!",9 "I think I was 14 when I first saw this film. I was expecting something salacious, but thinking about it now, what I got was the movie that spurred my now-obsession with great movie-making. It knocked me out. Great character development, great acting, great writing. Very personal. And the title is very well-chosen. It's also a wonderful love story--and nothing like what most people characterize. Its world is very real, with all of the complications that mark the real world. Would I make a tape with Graham? Definitely, I'd love to. I think that most women would. Just a thought....",8 "Yes, it is rude and raw and pushes boundaries. It was smart of the producers to enlist Hollywood favorites to star in it, no bad press for the content. We laughed a few times. Not the best movie but it was funny, no rules, rollercoaster ride. Language was a bit much - hate to see kids cuss like that.",7 "1st time I watched it, I didn't know what to think. The 2nd time a few years later. Hmmm I would say, a bit slow and long. That's the huge downfall. You need to be in the right mood to watch it. The actors, OMG it's a huge cast!!!!!! All in all it's not a 8.6 out of 10. It's somewhere in the 6s, because you have to be in the right mood and have a lot of time on your hands.",6 "I was recommended this movie as a classic whodunit with clever twists and colorful characters. But the twists weren't all too clever and the whodunit isn't so classic. It is a stylish movie, but the story is actually rather lame and unexciting when you take away the A-list actors and the glossy finish. Besides, a few key scenes don't really make sense, but have to be that way because the plot wouldn't work otherwise (meeting dangerous people in dark alleys instead of crowded places type of stuff). It was also impossible to miss the racial undertones. The makers of the film were obviously drawing a metaphor for the demographic shift in America, clearly expressing their satisfaction with a certain majority being on the way out. (Once you see the final scene you'll know what I mean.) Bottom line: You can watch it and you won't get bored, but don't expect too much.",6 Having no idea of the books nor games I came to it with nothing more than a like for this type of show and Henry Cavill of course. I like it so far (still watching first season) but why do they keep jumping back and forth so often???!!!! Someone is dead- then they're back- then dead- then back. It's extremely confusing.,5 "Bollywood mafia type Hollywood movie with very weak screenplay. This movie will completely flop in the test that Jason Bourne took us to. The performance of Indian amateur artists in Bangladeshi characters, shooting in different Indian locations and the painful conversations of wrong Bangladeshi accents will only increase the annoyance.",1 "Close action scene was great. As an action video game lover, I love the actions very much. It feel like I am playing a good video game. But the story is not great. If they put some extra effort on the story, I think it would be a great movie. Action scenes was great. If you are an action movie lover then it is worthy to watch it. And about the spoiler, the title itself is a spoiler.",7 The concept of this movie is superb. Acting is also great. I really like this movie very much.,8 "When this movie came out I heard only good things about it. I thought this would be a rather realistic, thought-provoking and dramatic survival story that would make me emotional because it's so well done. What I got was a comedy movie with unbelievable bad dialogues like I have seen and heard them only in very low budget horror/splatter movies. I refuse to believe that grown-ups are laughing at those jokes. The portrayal of the emotions was badly done. Very, very badly. The characters lacked any personality. There was no soul, no depth, no character you could get invested. Everything was extremely shallow and forced-funny. 5 stars because of the landscape and everything else. The concept was nice and interesting. The acting was okay. The writing brought this movie down.",5 "Don´t get the hype? When I´ve read the other reviews, I tought this must be the best series ever, but not for me.",7 "Watched during the quarantine. Like the show. Saw the whole series. The first 2 seasons are very good. Rating.... Season 1 - 10/10 Season 2 - 9.5/10 Season 3 - 8.5/10 In the third season you got many illogical correlation and references but its entertaining.Overall rating - 9/10 & yeah thats good if you are a sci-fi ,thriller genre fan.",9 "They just moan, groan and repeat and rinse moaning and groaning from episode 1. Total failure",1 "This was awesome!! The show starts with Wanda and Vision in wedding clothes, and they are starting their new lives in small town America,, except everything is in black and white,, and it's circa 1950s. There is no mention of any events that have taken place in the past few years (such as Thanos, the blip,, certain deaths!!). The supporting cast is excellent. Especially that one blast from the past (or completely other franchise). I loved how they just started the show with no explanation of anything, and little by little we find out what's going on.",8 "Great cast, good scenerio but guess what, we have also Michael Bay. I was waiting transformers jump to scene. Good action scenes ( of course with tones of sparkel. He loves them what we can do) but as usual hard to Follow story between scenes, unnecassary jokes. Every 3-4 second not only camera view change also back ground and places changes. After 30 min headache starts. Please dont give any movie to him. Please. He is good with commercials. Make him stay there",5 I love the Annabelle series however this lacks what the others had. Luckily we only rented had we seen it in the theaters I for sure would have walked out. Its predictable and laughable. Halfway through the movie we decided to treat it as a B movie and made jokes about it.,1 "Nothing to do with real Wanda and Vision, it's just a crap of a sitcom! Don't waste time watching it!",1 "Venom 2, the long-awaited second part about the ""hero"" Everyone was waiting for part 1 and it was not bad, when traces of part 2 were marked in which Carnage was marked, everyone was delighted, because they hoped for the discovery of Lora and the Venom universe, but in the end we got this an action movie in which they didn't reveal the history of Carnage at all, and his indicator was briefly leaked at the end of the film, although according to the lore, carnage is much stronger than Venom because he is his son. But let's not go into the lore of Venom, I will say this is a great movie, for viewing in the evening for those who are not interested in comics and lore.",9 "This show has nothing to do with the witcher and should not be sold as such on top of that, the cast is terribly poorly cast, and the acting is terrible.",1 "It starts and ends, you'll finish it and then easily forget it...",6 "Personally this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I watched it because of the meme's and they're far better than the movie. Don't waste your time, you've been warned.",1 "If you are someone who likes watching fireworks shows this special-effects saturated epic might be your cup of tea. But I had to constantly resist the urge to check my phone messages. I have to say the ending was unexpected and Marvel deserves plaudits for switching things around. The rest, unfortunately, was a pretty standard superhero movie.",3 "I was enchanted by this movie. Perhaps because I'm nearly the same age as Steven Spielberg; perhaps because I have grown disenchanted with Hollywood and the continual parade of overblown action films and just plain poor quality movies that are turned out one after another, full of violence and graphic sex and little else; or perhaps because The Fablemans is a masterpiece crafted by the greatest director of this, or perhaps any, generation. The characters in the Fabelmans are depicted as real people living through real events which shaped their lives and the world around them without hyperbole or wasted footage. I wish that It had been 2 hours longer.",10 "When I tuned in I did not realize that this is supposed to be amusing. A satire. I cannot think of one single scene that provoked even a slight chuckle. Very soon I found it nonsensical and boring. Puzzling, too. It's supposed to be a send up of pretentious high end restaurants. And it's also supposed to be critical of the wealthy and famous diners. I think one would have to have some knowledge of those kinds of places and people to find the humor, the satire. There is no subtlety here. Everything is extremely shocking and extremely unbelievable. It left me wondering early on what I was seeing. I had not seen Fiennes for many years in any outstanding film. Had he run out of money and had to play what is really a ridiculous character? Did the satire hit its target? Who knows, and who cares? I do not know any millionaires or celebrities, nor have I ever been to that kind of restaurant. This is such a bizarre thing to create. We have numerous public figures that could use skewering. Kanye, The Donald, the Kardashians, Giuliani, Marjorie Taylor Greene. Basketball players who want to post antisemitic stuff but whose feelings are hurt because they are criticized. We have a public scene that is rich with lunatics and grifters. All very, very wealthy. Can anyone name one famous restaurant? I can't.",3 "I've never played the games, but I always heard The Last of Us was so good. Everything people told me about it said I'd rather watch the game than play it. I was wrong. HBO hasn't had a really good show in a long time. Lately they've been buying up properties to adapt because they have a built in audience, but I'm guessing they always see a giant drop-off in around the 3rd and 4th episode. Here we are four episodes into a series and I'm bored to tears. I WANTED to like this show, I forgave many stupid moments in the first two episodes, and then they completely wasted the third episode with a completely inconsequential story. It's like they have no idea that people are waiting to be DRAWN INTO their zombie show, which four episodes in has almost no zombies. The ultimate Achilles heel of this show is that it hinges on the relationship between two incredibly dull characters. The edgy teenage girl character is extremely annoying, and I'd rather see the brooding martyr guy just dump her in a hole and go on being mopey than continue watching their story.",1 "I really like this genre. But please for Gosh sake. What kinda special Hollywood junk is this? I've seen almost all Marvel movies and after this one i got, well kinda disappointed over all. Good story line, pretty much a good Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart, but where is the sense behind all these? Two options: I am totally mental retarded or the Marvel universe tried to make a ""serious"" movie. Well guys: pls stop trying hard! Better go on with movies like Civil War, that one was a good one!",5 "After watching the trailer I knew that the movie would have no substance or real story. Then I actually tried watching it. I made it through a half hour then quit. Michael Bay, what is happening to you? You were the master of cheesy, yet high-quality action. You are living proof, that experience is (apparently) no guarantee for quality. Where are your standards? The Rock, Bad Boys, Armageddon and Transformers (only number 1, not two or three or seventeen) they are all very cheesy movies... but damn, they had class. What is 'class'? Great characters, good-looking action, humor and suspense. And then you produce the most unwatchable stuff, like Pain & Gain and the other Transformer movies. What is up with that? Are you experiencing a midlife crisis? I hope you find your way back to quality storytelling, man! Why is it always babes, an helicopters with you? I challenge you to make an action movie with no chopper in slow motion in it. And no hot twenty-something. Could you still do it? Or would it cause writer's block? Maybe go have a drink with D. Leitch and exchange ideas (mostly listen to what he'd be saying). OK, I'm done yapping...",5 "When i first seen it on TV, i think its just another show like the others. But when i stopped by to see a 10 min of the episode, i was like ""OMG!! What a show it is?"". From then onwards, me and my brothers were getting addicted to this series. We didn't even miss an episode. A nice bunch of good quality comedies along with a powerful action packed series. I really enjoyed the comedies and the show. The writer do really done a great job. I didn't really expect such a great series from Nick and now i start searching for the series so that i can watch it whenever i wish. And i succeed in that. I just bought these DVD's and man, whenever i get bored or kinda same feeling, i start watching it. I voted a perfect 10/10.",10 "Few screen writer/director teams could have taken such a nearly unbelievable story and made it so real. The Cohens show the intensity of commonplace life intersected by events so bizarre, that most people would not believe were true unless presented almost perfectly. Life is stranger than fiction, this story proves it, but making this slice of life believable was no small feat. Superb casting is combined with cinematography that is very tame for the Cohens, but so appropriate to the story. Balance is achieved in every part of the construction of this film, and that is what makes something so fantastical, believable. I've watched this film several times and cannot find any mistakes yet. There might be some, but there is so much that is right about the movie that it brings you into the drama and never lets your attention stray.",9 Must watch movies a pure emotional entertaining movie especially fr dog lovers ❤ and kannada industry is taking Indian movies to nxt level there hardwork passion and dedication to movies is mind blowing and a true inspiration fr a movies can be made on these topics other than.,10 Not up to Marvel standards so far. They leads have no chemistry. Very little action.,4 "The movie is simply awesome and it will show you how to treat childrens during their early stage. Total movie runs between 4 characters and the directed was nailed it. The way he created the story and direction was very good. And as usual no one can beat Sharath sir action in this movie. Ashok Selvan also acted well and it's simply superb. Editor work was awesome and he kept the shots in correct way. I don't have an IMDB account but still I created one in IMDB just to give the review. I am not a big fan of movies but still this movie was something different. If you want to enjoy a suspense thriller, just watch this movie. Telugu version is streaming on Sony Live.",10 "This is an amazing anime eventho the fanbase is REALLY toxic. That's why I never go to any fandom so nothing will be ruined for me lmao. Characters are well designed and most of them are well written. The anime has a good animation that I really do appreciate. The story, well to be honest, is kinda basic but it doesn't change the fact that the show is great. Love the action amd stresses it causes me for no reason. I've watched till the end of season 6 and I can't wait for the seventh season that is coming soon! Well sorry if this review is boring there's a required characters and I kinda don't know what to say anymore. Ah yeah, don't let the fandom ruins the show for you. Don't ever go in the fandom and you will love the show especially if you're a fan of Marvel and or DC.",9 "Uncreative, amateurish plot with terrible acting (like most Keanu Reeve's films). Ridiculous ""shoot-em-up"" action throughout with no redeeming moments. I gave up after Reeves had slaughtered his 153rd victim with little more than a few scratches in return. One of Willem Dafoe's poorest performances and typical of Keanu's high-school acting. Even one of my favorite actresses, Bridget Moynahan drowned in the murky waters of this garbage film. The musical score sounded like it was produced by a bad garage-group of teenagers. The cinematography sucked and it took an uncommon staying-power and determination to sit through it 'til the end. This flick is a total waste of time and anyone who gives it more than a 2 has been smoking bad weed.",2 "It's better. As someone who is familiar with the books and short stories, I'm impressed by how faithful they remained. I am only on the second episode but thus far it's very close. What really surprised me was how refining the storyline for the screen made it better. And that's only do the talent behind the project. They had to choose which elements to highlight and which elements to let fall behind. Is it excellent television I don't think so but it's good television and well worth watching. Is it Game of Thrones no it's it's own thing and the comparisons are only negative but that is Netflix's fault for encouraging it.",9 First 2 episode are slow but after that I enjoyed the show very much by creating my theory about what will happen next. A great show. Marvel never disappoint me,8 "This journey lacks depth and strength. ""1917"" is too long, too padded, and too shallow. The characters are not interesting or well developed, and neither are the cameos of well known actors. A disappointment.",4 "Every time the Coen brothers make a movie, its a fantastic movie. The same can be said here even though this is one of their first movies. This is a very compelling thriller and I was hooked from the first scene. This is about one guy who has his wife kidnapped so he can receive the ransom money. He expects everything to go according to the plan. But of course there will be many mishaps. The acting is very good. I was annoyed with William H. Macy's character. I wanted to punch him in the face. I guess thats how we are supposed to feel though. Frances McDormand is fantastic as the cop trying to settle the case. I love Steve Buscemi. I think he's an underrated actor. Overall, this is very good movie made by the Coen brothers. I rate this film 9/10.",9 "So maybe I'm an uncultured swine or maybe some of the effect was lost in translation... but whatever it may be, I'm not sure I understand the hype around this movie. Don't get me wrong, it was good... but it wasn't all that. To be honest I thought it was just above average. I think I may have liked it more if it was a bit more concise. The almost two hour long run time made it feel drawn out especially for nothing super intriguing taking place. There were definitely solid moments throughout, good acting and a general level of engagement, it just didn't super draw me in. I think if I had watched this without being privy to any of the hype I might have liked it more, but I guess I was just slightly disappointed. Regardless, this is for sure a fun and thrilling movie that I would still recommend.",6 "This is a movie with a very good argument, a credible script and fine acting overall. I think that Edgerton was not the best choice for the male lead. On the other hand, Lawrence is perfect - not just because she is beautiful, but because she is such a good actress. And then you have Jeremy Irons, Charlotte Rampling and a fine cast. Dominika's uncle looked like a young Vladimir Putin. The end was unexpected. My only real complain is that the final cut is way too long; 30 minutes less would be better, if the edition is well performed.",8 "Good production, good acting, semi scary parts, mainly gory horror. Worth the watch... the main reason for a 6/10 was because nothing is explained. You never see the monster or the reason why people commit suicide, you never know why birds are good, you never know exactly why some people can see and others can't, you never... know... anything... all you know is that when the leaves are blown, it's about to go down. You end up being scared of leaves and not the deeper issue. If a better reason or conclusion was created near the end, it would have received a 7/10.",6 "The Fabelmans, a coming-of-age tale about a young boy who discovers what would be his lifelong passion of filmmaking and storytelling, is set in the 1960s as Sammy Fabelman navigates life through his formative years. Given a camera from his mother to help as an outlet for his creativity, Sammy manages to capture an act that will tear his family apart if shown. A love letter to the events of his past, director Steven Spielberg uses Sammy to relay to the audience the pains of growing up Jewish in a post-World War II era as well as the joys of his life's calling. With the continuing trend of older directors looking back and retelling imagined versions of their youth (Belfast, Armageddon Time), Spielberg proves yet again that he's one of the masters of the craft. Showing the slow dissolving relationship of the Fabelman family as contrasted with Sammy's growing love and talent for storytelling gives the movie the necessary weight while not being shy to inject moments of humor throughout. A point of interest that Spielberg intentionally plays with is the magic of movies as a use of escapism; for most moviegoers, a movie is a great way to forget life's ills for a couple of hours and be swept away to far flung lands said audience may never get the chance to experience for themselves. Unfortunately, in The Fabelmans, it's Sammy's discovery while editing film that really kickstarts the unravelling of the family. Full of heart, emotion, a love of movies and the process behind the making of them, The Fabelmans never gets too saccharine or overly sentimental; Spielberg rides a perfect line between dreamy nostalgia and melancholic remembrance. Starring Gabriel LaBelle, The Fabelmans shows the makings of an excellent young actor who's poised to have an amazing career. Confident, funny, cold, and extremely vulnerable at times, LaBelle is the movie's brightest spot. With his easygoing charm, it's easy for audiences to immediately latch onto LaBelle as his portrays Sammy Fabelman, the Steven Spielberg stand-in for the story. There's times Spielberg perfectly captures the wonder on LaBelle's face, primarily when Sammy is shooting or editing a movie. While not as strong in some of the film's more emotional scenes, specifically those with his parents, LaBelle still manages to provide an overall impressive performance, especially in the shoes he's filling. Also starring Michelle Williams and Paul Dano as Sammy's parents, it's not immediately clear why either actor took these roles. It's not until late in the film where Michelle Williams really starts heating up and giving a great performance that it's clear to see why she accepted the role. Williams cruises along through the movie, but in two powerful scenes kicks into a higher gear where the audience is reminded that she's a four-time Academy Award nominated actress. There are depths of sadness to Mitzi Fabelman, and Williams swims those depths with the skill of a well-seasoned sailor. The pain, the attempts to hide the pain, and the depression that battles Mitzi throughout the film make for some of the more poignant scenes in the movie. For his part, Paul Dano's performance is incredibly subdued in a way that only Paul Dano can do. Fresh off his take as The Riddler in Matt Reeves' The Batman, Dano does a come about-face here as the soft spoken, loving father figure of the The Fabelmans' household. As a technological wizard, Burt Fabelman uses his skills and saavy to increase his family's station in life, although some of the family moves seem to have ulterior motives behind them. While never spoken aloud in Burt's presence, there's a secret that hangs about the family that Dano manages to squeeze every drop of doubt from. With an incredible internal performance, this role of Burt Fabelman is one of Dano's best. It'd be criminal to not give a mention to veteran actor Judd Hirsch. Appearing in only three scenes in the film, it's the second scene, the meat of his time on screen, that Hirsch steals every bit of shine from Gabriel LaBelle and takes him to acting class. Charming, funny, and still deadly serious, Sammy's great uncle Hersch lays down for Sammy the two paths that face him in life. Almost a monologue with brief interruptions from Sammy, Boris provides one of the year's best scenes as a character who drops a bit of backstory for Mitzi as well as being the catalyst for Sammy. Hirsch's performance speaks to decades of screen and theater work, nailing his timing while dispensing his life advice and had he more screen time, Hirsch could've had a clear shot at a Supporting Actor nomination. Directed by Steven Spielberg, The Fabelmans shows a storyteller entering his sixth decade of moviemaking still retaining the ability to produce stories that inspire awe and wonder. It's never easy to adapt and fictionalize one's life into a story for mass consumption, but Spielberg does so in a way that neither paints him as a saint nor asks the audience for pity. While it's unlikely that Spielberg will reveal which elements are real, which are embellished, and which are completely fabricated, that fact that all three blend so seamlessly together shows just how he and writer Tony Kushner are (this being their fourth collaboration behind Munich, Lincoln, and West Side Story). From a directorial standpoint, Spielberg doesn't bring anything new or flashy out of the toolbox. Unlike West Side Story, which features some impressive feats of cinematography, timing, and coordination, here in The Fabelmans he turns it down a notch, preferring to keep the focus off his talents and on his fictionalized family. Overall, The Fabelmans is one of the year's more heartfelt stories. A fictionalized retelling of the youth of one of the best living filmmakers, Spielberg shows both the ugly sides and the bright sides of his life in a way that keeps the audience engaged and locked in. Knowing how the story ends makes the journey even more entertaining; seeing Sammy's love and appreciation for filmmaking blossom and mature gives the audience an insight into the life of a man who's dedicated his to the art of storytelling. With excellent performances from the three main leads, as well as one powerfully raw scene with Judd Hirsch, The Fabelmans stands as one the best movies to start winding down the year.",7 "The TV in the story and the rhythm is much better than novel, the novel is just one chapter a story, also an abrupt end, but the TV has a lot of other factors, as well as adapted details, which makes the whole story much perfect, characters more plump. Using the lens transitions is more natural; Minnette and Katherine are really true love. The performances of the leading actors are all excellent; it is necessary to introduce the second season, because Justice must be done.",8 "While I liked Gaga and Cooper, the chemistry was not like Mason and Garland in that version. I have seen the other 3 prior and while they all had something to say this was a little long, and quite clearly some scenes straight out of that and 76' version. I agree with the one review, that 1954 was great, this was good! That film was heartbreaking to watch and acting deserved Oscars and the singing and songs phenomenal in the 1954 version. If Garland and Mason did not win, no way should they in this version. I did not get the intimate feeling between them and career nurturing for her as I did in older version. But hey Hollywood loves a remake, no matter how many times! But 1976 version, Evergreen won for song. I think I will watch the Garland version again now. Hey that's Entertainment!!",4 "I loved some of Nolan's other films. I really loved Memento, Insomnia, The Prestige. I liked The Dark Knight. During Inception I kept checking my watch. I was trying to decide whether I checked my watch (as in, ""are we there yet?"") more times during a recent, torturous, 9-hour transatlantic flight or during this 2 hour 20 minute movie. I think as a 90 minute movie this would have been fun and entertaining. Nothing too special but it would have been a fine entertaining movie. I don't get what all the fuss is about. It's like a high-priced CGI-laden attempt at a Philip K Dick novel but a little overwrought.",1 "I went into this one with high hopes as I loved the first installment. This effort was such a let down. They took everything that was great about the first one and left it out!! Daniel Craig was the weakest link in Knives Out, but had a great supposting cast around him to paper over the cracks. Not so here. Norton is weak as is Hudson. The whole story is so obvious and it's immediately clear what the premise will be. I found myself not caring about the characters. A whodunnit should fill you full of intrigue and wonder. I was bored throughout and didn't care an hour in who done it. Janelle Monae is the one saving grace. A fine actress with a bright future. If you liked the first installment, don't bother with this one. A tragedy.",3 "Loki 6 episode story really amazing,I have cried in times of emotion. Loki talking with mobias- No bad will always be good and no good will always be good in the world.",9 "I mean, the movie is really interesting and entertaining for the first 15-20 minutes, and I must admit it had suspense and kept me curious for almost the full length of the movie, but there's a catch. I was waiting for something grand and spectacular, but at the very end, in what (at least seems to be meant as) the point where the directors have set up the grand ""wooooow""-""mind blown, oh my god""- sequence, they just reveal what you have already figured out 15-20 minutes into the movie. The end made me feel ripped of and with a feeling of ""wtf, is this it?"" Filler text for review length: Hello Davy, is that you? I miss the days of gravy, me and you. How much have you forgotten? Does the memory of me make you feel rotten? Oh, my daisy cotton.",3 I was keen to watch this movie so i went with a open mind to watch it and it was very disrtubing from the start to end it was a good a movie not for the faint hearted to be honest.just dont wanna ruin anything for people i felt very sick after the movie my stomach and mind was all over the place afterwards and even i basically said to my self and my fiance who watched it with me i was like what did we just watch both looking at each other our bodies froze as from shock of the movie i did not expect it to be creepy. And scary alot of jump scares just warning my heart was beating very fast. And fast.,4 Undoubtedly the best romantic comedy i have yet seen. The story-telling is perfect and the ending is very excitable. Surprised how well the screen writer managed to connect the start and the end of the film without getting much notice from the watchers.,10 I really liked this movie. It's one of the movie where your emotions get attached with the characters shown. I don't know how factual correct information shown in the movie is but the way it turned out it's pretty good. All lead actors done their job perfectly even Yamini looked good in her role. However editing was good but I still fill 25-30 minutes reduction in the movie can make it an excellent watch. It's also good that no unnecessary songs in the movie.,10 One of the worst Marvel movies I have ever seen!!!,2 "Not to knock this film too much, the bomb disposal scenes are gripping and full of tension, and the camera work is good. But that's it, the rest is a mess! It's directed by Kathryn Bigelow and details the chronological story of a bomb disposal team operating in Iraq with SFC William James (Jeremy Renner), joining as a replacement for the previous disposal expert. Renner's a maverick and loves the job. He doesn't play by the book and that appears to cause tension in the team initially. And this where confusion and disjointed story lines start to evolve? What's up the Iraqi driver standoff with Renner's character whilst he's on his way to defuse a bomb? What is Bigelow trying to suggest with Renner's character in a homo erotic position with his sergeant? And what about his team taking out Iraqi snipers one by one while what's presumably the British SAS run away in fear? Renner's character even takes on the role of detective in his spare time and risks his colleague's life to track some bombers down. This story has too many ""huh, where's the one suppose to go??"" factors. Some scenes are long and drawn out, especially some of the more emotional scenes with Bigelow trying to shape Renner's character portraying him as caring and complex. It just doesn't seem to work or is overdone, especially how he relates with his colleagues. To put a final point, I don't think it's worthy of an Oscar. If you want to watch it, there are some edge of the seat stuff, but the storyline is disjointed, lacking in direction and some bits that are downright unbelievable.",2 "Okay, Disney we get it! You own 20th Century Fox. I will keep this short. Shawn Levy is still a subpar director and this movie does nothing to change my mind. Ryan Reynolds does his best with the generic script he was given but unfortunately not even his charisma can save it.",2 "The most pointless, boring, film of the decade which Hollywood churns out a lot of to cater to the egos of their highly-paid actors. The last 15 mins was the only bit worth watching. Tarrentino may regret saying that this would be his last film because this bombed (for me). Kill Bill, Hateful 8 & a couple more were masterpieces but this was crap- sorry! Decaprio is a good actor, the best film part Pitt ever played was in 'Snatch'. Very disappointing ! 3 stars for the soundtrack & wardrobe which were great.",3 I just watched the first 5 episode but I really like the series. It have a good story. Everyone who loves Marvel and MCU should watch this series. MCU fans would love this series because it's full of callback from previous MCU movies.,8 "The biggest surprise of the year for me. It's a blast! If you give yourself over to the whacky world of twisted metal you won't regret it. It's dumb fun and strangely heartfelt. Well done to all involved, but.special shoutout to Will Arnett as the voice of Sweet-tooth. I do wonder if this is a better way to approach video game adaptations instead of trying to go down the prestige tv or film route ? I can imagine a tongue in cheek version of the Hitman video series working very well. Certainly better than the risible movie version that were forced on us and totally wasted the onscreen and off screen talent in both.",8 "Great visual effects, and the inserted politics isn't too bad, but it's there. The mother is the smart one that's in charge. The father is the so called navy seal, but just a grunt. The black teenage daughter who is a doctor. The other daughter who is the rebel, and finally the young boy genius. It won't take you long to notice that this family has the worst luck ever, and I mean ever! If someone has to go to the bathroom, there will be 3 emergencies on the way. Honestly, it doesn't matter what goal they need to achieve, things go wrong every single time, and it gets to be too much. Nobody is this unlucky. Doctor Smith gets to be too much as well. Nobody has this much luck. She says a few words to someone and they become her robot. It's still a decent show but I can't believe that not one person seen these obvious flaws. A little more work and this show could have great.",7 Being an Indian...this is definitely an must watch film.. Facts are well known and how the movie ends is general knowledge. But what waits you is an treat ...,10 "I made it through 2.5 episodes, before taking the decission to turn of the tv, how this made it through their test audience is a mystery to me. But hey to each and his own, but the show just in plain old english s** b**/**",1 Amazing performance by all actors and great direction by Anurag Basu. It deserved to be released in theaters but never a less a great treat for Netflix lovers.,10 i am honored that i am a fan of SRK!!! oh!! what an acting by SRK those expressions those dialogs!!! SRK again proved that he is he was and he will be no1 in terms of acting!!! this review in not fan based i am just posting as neutral .... just go and watch it and i am guaranteeing you will love it!!!!! this is not a d i l wale or a happy new year its more of a c h a k d e India my name is Khan!!!! people at the end were giving standing ovations!!!! and to k r k r s s v h p and some butt hurt s a l l u fans t o r a d e k h b i r l u c h i r r mo th on f u l bi!!! SRK's National award Filmfare Oscars etc confirmed!!! my parents will also be watching this in total pura paisa vasool,10 "Yet another great film in the Iron Man series! I thought the action scenes and the casting was top notch in this film! Once again, Robert Downey Jr. Delivers as Iron Man/Tony Stark! His character is absolutely amazing! He really brings it together in this film. Don Cheadle is great as well as he replaces Terrance Howard in this film. But who really stole the show was Mickey Rouke as the villian! He brings it! This film has made me more interested in Marvel Movies! Let's not forget Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Scarlett Johansson in her role as well!! I would recommend this great action thriller to anyone that loves Marvel and a good action movie!",9 "Without a doubt, Superbad is one of the best movies ever made, period! And considering that this movie was written by 2 13 year old kids years ago, that's saying a lot. I honestly could not stop laughing while watching this movie, the jokes were all raw and original, and the acting was superb, and the movie never got boring! I can honestly recommend every teenager that enjoys high school comedies to go see this movie. It makes American Pie look like a preschool film! The only negative thing I can say about this film is that it is not one that parents might enjoy, and is not exactly what parents might call ""healthy entertainment'. But who cares? The movie is funny hands down, Seth Rogan & Evan Goldberg deserve an Academy award for best original screenplay next year. When I came home from watching this movie, I was still laughing, and so hyped up. My parents asked me, ""Are you drunk, are you high?"". I just replied,""No, I'm Superbad.""",10 RED SPARROW OSCAR NOMINATE HER Excellent with nudity and turbulent nature.,10 "The show's appeal is its quick-paced surrealism. It literally smacks you out of left field time and time again. Whatever Harmon brought to the table with wit or mania (you choose) is missing in the later episodes. The show is becoming too paced, too deep, and too ordinary. It's shifting gears into a silly ""Scrubs""-type show when the fun of ""Community"" was its defiance of any conventional genre. It HAD A style all its own, an that seems to be slipping away. Maybe it's just getting long in the tooth, but I'd love to see it return to its roots. The paint-ball episodes, for example, were extraordinary! Regardless of the show's ability live up to its roots of being unbelievably random, there's also the problem of making some of the characters too farcical; primarily the dean and Chang. The dean's character has become too incredibly 1-dimensional for the show, with his cross-dressing and Winger-lust, and frankly, nothing else. While Chang is the token fringe character that is wholly under-utilized and so periphery that it begs the question ""why is he even in the show at all?"" I think Chang needs more connection and more screen time, or cut the poor guy loose.",7 I'd give this a 5 but the acting is good so 6 is good enough. I just couldn't get into this movie. It's just constant screaming and stress lol. Not a whole lot happens that really matters. I wasted my time!,5 "After having seen all of Johnson's movies except for The Brothers Bloom I expected something a little bit more from Knives Out. A more mature, cold film with it's tounge in cheek is what I wanted after previously enjoying Brick and Looper so much. I was at least very happy to see it put a curious twist on the murder mystery genre. The story takes a very different path than I expected. Sadly, it seems as though they could have gone in harder with this twist, it goes back to the usual motions after a while. As it is this has to be Johnson's most accessible movie yet. It's a star-studded cast filled with old reliabales and also some newcomers. Though I don't feel as though the actors were given very much time to properly shine it's all very lovely and nice. The high saturation and crazy colorful sets should grab the interest of most viewers aswell, though I do find the cinematography quite formulaic. If you're looking for a nice family film you can take your children or parents to you're sure to have a blast. If you're looking for anything like Johnson's earlier work or something more artsy however, you'll be disappointed.",7 "Captain America: The Winter Soldier emerges as a high-octane political thriller within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, delivering a pulse-pounding narrative that combines espionage, moral ambiguity, and superhero action. Chris Evans continues to embody the steadfast heroism of Steve Rogers, but this time, the narrative thrusts him into a world of uncertainty and conspiracy. Evans showcases the character's resilience and unwavering sense of duty, making Captain America a symbol of integrity in an increasingly complex world. The introduction of Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/The Falcon adds a dynamic new ally to Captain America's side. The camaraderie between Evans and Mackie injects a fresh energy into the film, and the aerial sequences featuring the Falcon's wings are visually exhilarating. Scarlett Johansson returns as the Black Widow, and her character undergoes further exploration. The film delves into Romanoff's enigmatic past, adding layers to her character beyond the usual spy tropes. Johansson's performance contributes to the film's overall depth. The Winter Soldier, portrayed by Sebastian Stan, emerges as a formidable and mysterious antagonist. The character's connection to Captain America adds a personal dimension to the conflict, and Stan's portrayal brings a brooding intensity to the role. The film's espionage thriller elements are executed with precision, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats with unexpected twists and intense action sequences. The fight choreography and hand-to-hand combat scenes showcase the physical prowess of Captain America and his adversaries. This movie successfully addresses contemporary themes, including government surveillance and the price of freedom, adding a layer of relevance to the superhero narrative. The film's willingness to explore moral ambiguity and question authority sets it apart within the MCU. The Russo brothers' directorial style injects a grittier and more grounded tone into the film, reminiscent of '70s political thrillers. The handheld camerawork and realistic fight choreography contribute to the film's immersive atmosphere. Overall an amazing movie, packed with great action.",8 "At First, I thought this is gonna be a Buddy Cop Style Action Series, but I was surprised at how deep and socially relevant subjects this show tackled. Racial Inequality & Refugee Crisis became the main themes. Falcon's refusal to take on the mantle took us on this journey to understand what it truly means to be Captain America. Bucky's struggle to come to terms with his Past was another big theme. This whole series was like a clash of ideologies, supplemented by great writing. The Two leads were amazing, and also Wyatt Russell as New Capt. America, Daniel Bruhl as Zemo And Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley stole the show. Isaiah's tragic story was so heartbreaking & essential to this plot. Kari Skogland expertly helms the series & the Action Scenes were top notch. Steve gave him the Shield but with this show Sam truly Earned it. The only con was that the show kind of pushed us to feel sympathy for the enemy group, which didn't work & some of the scenes in final episode were underwhelming. But still its one of the best Superhero Shows out there & Hopefully more seasons will come.",8 "They fooled me with the first instalment of this utter garbage and I am not fooled again.

Very bad character build up for the new villains, was disappointed.",4 "Even though I often find movies on IMDb overrated, I was expecting something good from this because of the 9.3. I am convinced that this is a case of the people rating something highly be cause it seems like it should be good. yes, its got lots of references from the 80s, but that does not mean its any good. We'll start with the worst dialogue ever. there were several places where the writings was so bad and you could actually see it straining to be funny. Worst in this department were the three screechy kids. One of them was a kind of hybrid character of GOONIES' Chunk, and Stand by Me's Vern. The chemistry between him and the black kid just missed the mark, the dead pan was never deadpan enough and the ""clever dialogue"" bits fell flat. although I' admit the other kid actually seemed to fit in the time and place being represented. Winona Ryder. She is so hit and miss. There are moments when she seems quite believable as the character but at other times ....just not. Worst though, might be the lack of originality, with ideas being stolen from all sorts of 80s titles. The 80s atmosphere felt less like the 80s and more like some a version of what a current have imagined it would be like from their distorted 2016 perception.",2 "'Kung Fu Hustle (2004)' is about as close to a live-action cartoon as you can get, an energetic cross between 'Looney Tunes' and 'Dragon Ball Z'. Its broad comedy is bolstered by unconventional, special-effects-driven visuals and a fast-paced sense of timing. When it works, it can be a fair amount of fun. Its fight sequences, in particular, are sharply choreographed and nicely edited, by far its most successful aspects. The flick often falls short, though, and doesn't hit the note it's aiming for. Its satirical yet messy story doesn't do a great job of getting you invested in a protagonist, which leads to a generally passive experience. It isn't boring but it isn't hugely engaging, either. Having said that, the thing absolutely works as breezy, zany, 'no thought required' light entertainment. It truly is inventive, even if its inventions only work around fifty percent of the time. 6/10",6 "I delayed watching this movie for like a week or so, thinking that it was a masterpiece and one should watch it when in a perfect mood. So I watched it today. 10 minutes goes by, and there is almost nothing. 20 minutes, still nothing. About an hour, and the things I saw in the trailer are the only interesting images that I got so far. An emptiness after emptiness, absurdity after another, and the boring level keeps accumulating... Shortly put, this movie is painfully boring, extremely boring and .. perfectly boring. 2/10 and bye bye for ever.",2 "Going back in time and making a period movie has been an obsession for many in the film industry. Be it K Asif's 'Mughal-e-Azam', or Shah Rukh Khan's 'Asoka', the challenges faced by an actor, director or producer to recreate a bygone, powerful era seem to draw the film industry to period themes time and again. This time, it's Ashutosh Gowariker. The director attempts to bring alive Akbar's love for his wife Jodhaa Bai on celluloid with 'Jodhaa Akbar' (JA). History has always been ambiguous, not to mention controversial. JA is no exception. A lot has been said about the ambiguity of the name Jodhaa Bhai, thanks to the controversy surrounding it. The director too has wisely added a disclaimer at the beginning of the movie regarding the ambiguous nature of the name of Akbar's Hindu wife. Some Historians refer to her as Hira Kunwari, others as Mariam-uz-Zamani, and few others as Jodhaa Bai. So let's leave that topic at peace and assume that Jodhaa Bai was the real name of Akbar's Hindu wife. Nonetheless, was Jodhaa Bai the only wife of Emperor Akbar? No. And there is absolutely no ambiguity on that part. Why then does the director choose to glorify the love of Akbar for his wife Jodhaa Bhai only? And that too in typical Bollywood fashion. As is known, the Moghuls, and of course Akbar, married many Hindu princesses to enter into pacts with Hindu Rajput rulers and expand the Moghul empire. The motive was clear - expanding one's empire skillfully, without war or bloodshed. Definitely a noteworthy strategy and a humanist approach. But with so many wives did Akbar really devote exclusive time to only one of his wives, to the extent that he croons around with her. Possible, yes. But by not mentioning any of Akbar's other wives the director lends a very unbelievable feel to the entire story, typical of every Bollywood story. But then, this is Bollywood and maybe the director consciously intends to tell a love legend and not history. JA is not the story of Jallaluddin Muhammad Akbar, or Akbar as he is popularly known. It is a saga of an Emperor who falls deeply in love with his Hindu wife and the circumstances surrounding this immortal love. A kind of post arranged-marriage love story. Interesting indeed, especially considering that not too many movies dwell on this subject. Akbar is not only a lover but also an Emperor and JA goes beyond just narrating a love story and tries (well, almost) to delve into the virtues and vices Akbar was popular for. How Jallaluddin shoulders the responsibility of the Moghul Empire and strategically expands it, in the process winning over the love of his countrymen forms the rest of the story. Unfortunately, such a story telling does little to keep the audiences' interest intact. Depicting the life and times of Akbar does not qualify for interesting storytelling for the simple reason that Akbar was an able and efficient Administrator who skillfully expanded the Moghul Empire, often with little or no conflict. And a script without much conflict fails to keep restless audiences glued to their seats. However, JA is not completely devoid of conflict and the usual twists-in-the-tale. But these are trivial to qualify as interesting or unpredictable. No wonder the director chooses to concentrate on the love-angle between Akbar and Jodhaa instead. A laudable aspect of the movie is that the script does try to suffuse the tale with many aspects about Jallaluddin. Be his liberal outlook on religion, his interest in mysticism or his prowess in warfare. Yet, the movie moves at a very languid pace concentrating heavily on the equally heavy costumes, and jewellery of that era. The art direction too is magnificent and transports one to the Moghul and Rajput era. Music is yet another area where A R Rahman breaks new ground and instills the tale with his masterpieces which are as beautifully fused as the love between Akbar and Jodhaa. The track 'Khwaja Mere Khwaja' is sure to teleport you to another world, the picturisation beautifully depicting Akbar's interest in Sufism. Casting is more or less perfect. Hrithik is one hero who has proved himself capable of going beyond superhero roles. His body-language, the gait with which he carries himself and the ease with which his eyes express love for his beloved will make women go weak in their knees. Although Aishwarya fails to convincingly portray herself as a Rajput warrior princess (her poor stance and weak gait while clasping the sword), she more than makes up for it as Mallika-e-Hindustan (Queen of Hindustan). Albeit miserably failing in a crisp and interesting script, JA excels in technical aspects, art direction, music, and other creative and technical areas. Commercially its fate depends on audience sensibilities. If mundane jewellery and splendour is what they are expecting, which I fear many do, then JA will spell success for Ashutosh. If a historically well told tale, with an interesting storyline is what audiences prefer then JA will fail to get the cash registers ticking.",6 "This movie is one of brilliant films in Boolywood. Also this movie has such an important theme and had a great impact on me. Actors and actresses are also very good at their performance. And my name is khan is without a doubt Karan Johar's most accomplished work to date.This film is traditionally a love story more than anything else.This film includes innocence,guilt,kindness,inhumanity,truth and untruth,justice and injustice,love and hate.This film clearly works better in the first half. The second half includes disturbing images of discrimination .In addition to that, as I said before,every actor performs very well. When you watch this film, you can cry and you can laugh at the same time. It is so awesome. However, to sum up it is worth to see. It is fascinating and entertaining. I recommend you to see this movie.",10 I am excited for the show but it's getting kinda dull to watch the same ingrowing characters on a twisted plot full of surprises If it is to be renewed please add some juice to the mains.,7 "It's was totally different make over of saif ali khan, one of best acting he had done in recent times. Nawazuddin is at his best as usual. Complicate plot and strong direction keep u to the edge",9 "First of all i want to congratulate the authority of the film to make music less film in Bollywood which is really a good initiation. I watched that movie yesterday night at a local cinema hall nearby me. A lot of unrealistic things happened in this movie, for example the Aryan Khanna and Gaurav Chanda were fully distinguishable but in some parts of the movie, how could Gaurav impersonate Aryan regarding the face wasn't explained in the movie. In the mean time, the face changes suddenly fast. A lot of unusual variations happened that i could refer. But hats off to SRK for making a unique step, i liked the action parts, those were amazing. Hopefully, Raes will be an another great move.",6 "The story is indeed a good fiction, but not qualified to be a science fiction. The earth is obviously the only and the most suitable planet for life in the universe according to any known evidence. It will continue to be the case in the foreseeable future. With scientific and engineering development and innovation, the problem facing the earth can be overcome, as the earth is fundamentally best positioned in the known universe, assuming uneducated politicians and activists (including rich Hollywood celebrities) don't interfere in the scientific and engineering development. Even though the earth environment deteriorate to the state ridiculously described in the movie, it is still the best planet according to the knowledge in the foreseeable future.",6 "Sad story line, first half has couple of irritating songs,before beginning of second half u will know the ending. Torture. Waste of a good cast. All they needed was a good script writer, why does no one spend money on that. Script has n number of goofs, lacks continuity. In the end you realize the whole story is so stupid. Total waste of money. Comedy is some relief, Only few alive patches in the otherwise dull movie. I was wondering whether reviewers before me were paid. How can u rate such a sad movie as great. They are trying to make meaningful cinema but the result was very bad. Yes it had no usual mas-ala, no dis-hum dis-hum, no exposure, no item songs(though there are songs which are torture). But they blew it up..",5 "For a biography movie, this one was interestingly done. The way the story was told made it seemed quite fun. Some portions were using dark humor and Tom Cruise was real charming in here. I could actually picture him as this real unique character. His relationship with his wife and family was also real fun to look at, especially during the moment when he tried to convince her about the good about his works. One cool thing about the movie was the very good costumes and sets. It was like we were transformed into the world of the 1970s and early 1980s when the film was set. Especially the make up effects of Tom Cruise was also exceptional. He looked a lot younger than his actual age here. Even my wife was very amazed with his appearance and looks. In addition to the costumes and sets, the film was also having some songs from that period which enhanced the aura of 70s and 80s here. The main attraction of this movie was definitely the uniqueness of Barry Seal's life as a pilot and smuggler and also the impacts he had in the US history during the Ronald Reagan's presidency then. It even had some political figures mentioned as well. The title of the movie also suit the story very nicely. You would understand why it has such title by the end of the film. In the end, you could already guess the conclusion of the movie. Especially if you are a history buff who already knew the story of Barry Seal. There appeared to be various versions of his life story, so I am not sure either whether the one we saw here was the real actual version. But anyway, in term of entertainment, the movie was made into a non boring kind of biographical movie. However, those who were expecting to see Tom Cruise kick a$$ in this movie would probably be disappointed cause this is not that kind of movie. There were some action scenes but this film could not be categorized as action type. There were no very emotional moments as well (which I found rather odd as usually biography movie would have some of those parts). Finally, if you are looking for a good biographical crime movie, this one might be a good option. Though this was not as heavy as other movies in such category, it was still interesting to see Tom Cruise's portrayal of one of the controversial character in US history. It was also directed by Doug Liman who was the director of some good and/or commercially successful movies such as The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Edge of Tomorrow and few others. But for those who are looking for movies with lots of actions by Tom Cruise, better wait for his next Mission: Impossible movies. For my complete review, pls have a look in michaelnontonmulu.blogspot.co.id",7 "I forgave the first episode for hammering the equal rights drum because it seemed like a decent start albeit a bit safe, but the second episode has continued to hammer that same equal rights drum and the scenes are all based around the same small cast in the same locations... There's no broad scope or grand scale feel to the show, it's very narrow. I'm really hoping they are just building up to something before broadening the show. Because there is no way this show will succeed with one plotline, 10 characters and probably around 6 different proper sets.l, especially when you consider that in GOT each episode probably covered 4 plotlines had a dozen or so big sets and included a cast of 20 or so main / secondary characters.",6 "I walked out after 30 minutes Spiderman CGI costume...??? I've seen better things on you tube for crying out loud Just some mindless constant parking lot battle scenes with bad dialogue and story It seems like people forgot how to make good movies now days its all hype, marketing and CGI. Im starting to think Marvel actually pays people for good reviews and comments just to sell the movies, rather than actually make a good movie and it happens with other movies too. It makes me sick. If you're the kind of type that likes CGI , Iron man 3, Twillight or 50 shades of Grey this is the movie for you, for me not so much.",1 "My Score 3.5/5 The good old Chinese martial movies seems to have fade away from the movie scene of Hollywood lately. But the sparks still remain here and there and once in a while action movie which comes out. Mostly originated from China they seldom rocks the world unless an American studio does the production work. ""Ip Man"" (Pronounced as Yip Maan) is one of those seldom martial art movie which gained international popularity back in 2008. Based on a true story and actual character of master Yip the story takes place in the second world war era. In a city where martial arts is a way of life and reputed for talented masters Yip resides with his wife and kids noble and rich from family heritage. While proving his Kung Fu talents in humble way Yip is respect throughout the land. Soon the life of Yip and many drastically change once the Japanese empire strikes on Chinese soil and Yip's city also falls victim and turn hell. Yip and his family goes though many hardships yet Yip ambitiously lives a respected life until trouble comes and know on his shoulder. Martial art movies are always centered upon fights. Duels , challenges and rival gangs which are all natural elements. In Ip Man the story goes a little further and discuss about family, respect, courage and honor as well. The limits which one can go in order to take care of his loved ones in the mid of tougher situations is what Ip Man is mostly about. And the movie cleverly shows what true martial artist is all about than throwing punches all over the town for no reason. Embedded craft fully with stunning and thumping martial art sequences Ip Man delivers a full load of action for the action movie lover. Even there is a bit of humor here and there. Sometimes following the subtitles can be a pain (The movie is in Chinese. No translation is available) but that's really not a barrier to enjoy it.

Also the ending is kinda dumb and non conclusive.,5 "I don't normally review shows on IMDB but I've got to speak up on this one. With the exception of the production quality, everything else is either bland, boring, or unbearable. The characters do not have depth, they are immensely stupid and blind and ignorant, while also not developing in the least. Whenever the characters make some minuscule form of progress they promptly regress. (Spoiler alert?) By the halfway point of season one, I was hoping that everyone died! I never developed any care for any of the characters and hardly found them to have any redeeming qualities. It's almost like they were so well-rounded (having good and bad qualities) that they all became ""meh""! I've completed the season (1) and honestly do not care about what happened. It's just....meh! This show is not bad enough that you will want your time back but it's definitely not good enough that you will remember it fondly. It's a good thing they released all 10 eps at once because I doubt viewers would continue watching week after week.",4 "Just could not stop sleeping in this movie. While beasts are interesting, many no real reason why they are there. Stick and platipus were cute and useful though. Very confusing story.",3 The writing and storyline has been excellent so far. I have watched 3 episodes together in a row and so curious for the next two.,9 "There are lots of interesting things about season 1. But none better than Elizabeth Olsen. She is terrific. First of all, I think she is gorgeous. And whatever she lacks in physical perfection, she makes up for in stage presence. I wasn't really knocked out by the show. But I couldn't stop watching her. I thought the changing sets and time periods were entertaining. Along with the comedic commercial breaks. But the story lacked the drama of the Marvel Avengers at first. Although it got more serious towards the later episodes. But still there is this light-hearted sitcom feel to the show. But Elizabeth Olsen is just a super star in my opinion. She is really the only reason I've kept watching. Although I do like that the episodes are only 30 minutes long. It doesn't take too much time to keep up.",7 "Over hyped, just made for minting momey out of marvel brand.",1 "Minimal plot, what there is just barely keeps the action together (there really isn't much) Didn't see the point of half of what happened in the movie, and honestly the entire film can be entirely removed from the MCU without it affecting anything at all (except the post credit scene) So with that kind of impact - what really was the point?",3 "Christopher Nolan's Batman films have both surprised & disappointed me. On one-hand, Nolan has strived to ground the mythos into as realistic and relatable setting as possible. Given the suspension of disbelief needed for most of these comic book adaptations, the change was risky and admirable. However, along the way, specifically with the second film 'The Dark Knight', Nolan's realistic setting is at odds with increasingly implausible and fantastical happenings. This sense of imbalance carries over to the bloated & meandering final film. 'Rises' spends the greater part of its nearly three-hour runtime in escalation, introducing plot lines & characters that serve too embellish a sense of importance & complexity too the proceedings. The main issue with the film is that the majority of the multiple plot lines are poorly executed and unnecessary. For example, while the character played by Anne Hathaway adds a touch of much needed sarcasm & sensuality to the overtly serious proceedings, her motivations & actions are never explained. On the other hand, the characters of Bane & John Blake were well-etched and save the film from outright mediocrity. Bane is equal parts fascinating & menacing, with a convincingly crafted back story that forms the emotional core of the film. Whereas the Joker is the titular villain in the Batman mythos, he is ultimately an absurd character that lacked development & conviction in the previous film. While I never viewed Joker as a legitimate threat in the previous film, Bane's actions are well-plotted & he challenges Batman accordingly. However, both characters actions are ultimately unrealistic, resulting in a film that is neither crime drama nor superhero fantasy. John Blake is the only other character in the film that is well-etched. Unlike Lt. Gordon, Lucius Fox, & Alfred, Blake rises above being mere plot device & garners genuine emotion through a well-developed back story, realistic staging, & strong motivations/actions. As it stands, I found Gordon-Levitt's Blake a far more convincing & interesting character than anything Nolan has written for Bruce Wayne since the end of the first film. Thus lies the main problem with 'Rises', Bruce Wayne & his Batman alter-ego come off as emotionally stilted & reactionary rather than mature & intelligent. This is most likely based on the poor narrative in the previous film, where I had trouble buying into Wayne's relationships & Batman's fall from grace. The character has simply failed to develop since the first film. It's not helping that the films script & technical aspects are also poorly manipulated. While Nolan's script for Begins was generally competent, it's still hard to digest moments of thought-provoking dialog intermixed with sophomoric dramatization, & cheesy one-liners. While a few scenes stood out in this film, particularly in the beginning sequence & Bane's prison, the cinematography on display lacked any sort of flourish, reveling in gritty skylines & explosions over any sort of interesting composition. The action sequences are admirable, if not poorly shot. Sound editing & mixing are first-rate. The score by Hans Zimmer is abysmal. Overall, The Dark Knight Rises is a film that falters due to a weak foundation. 'Rises' ambition & scope are grand, however, it's setting and characters lack development and conviction, ultimately rendering much of the proceedings hollow & self-important. As summer entertainment, Dark Knight rises is the best of the bunch, a gem amongst a sea of nameless sequels, testosterone driven action films, regressive family fare, & tasteless comedies. As a film, however, 'Rises' has no reason to exist, it stands tall amongst such relevant masterworks as 'Avatar' & 'The Matrix'. Stay for the taut & thrilling opening sequence that introduces Bane's character, than fast-forward through the rest.",6 "Movie showing fake country fake topography fake cities, lots of running here and there lots of women shown in bikini's seducing men and unnecessary prolonged action stunts is the original movie plot. Seriously a ridiculous actions women used to luring men and doing long and boring stunts is what this movie is all about. Such a childish and funny approach, total trash and utter rubbish, and is highly not recommended and don't waste your two hours do something better.",2 "In the past, Marvel was able to create unique films that occasionally stunned, but sometime in the last few years they've lost their touch. It was an interesting decision to bring back Raimi, and it might've been different if they had given him final cut, but I'm just surmising that Disney might've tampered with his vision. There were bright spots, specifically the creative visuals, and the third act that improved upon the previous two. But the flaws overshadowed the majority of the film. I have a slight issue with the Multiverse infatuation that Hollywood seems to be experiencing right now. As it pertains to this film, the concept of there being infinite universes lowers the stakes of the story, and possibly even negatively impacts the significance of previous films in the MCU. Additionally, Elizabeth Olsen's performance was shaky, the tone appeared to be unintentionally silly, and America Chavez was more of a plot tool to give them access to the multiverse rather than a genuine character. Trying to be bigger and more complex is not always the best route to a great film, especially in this case.",4 "I thought this was another Disney Marvel film because of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). The Columbia Pictures Torch Lady in the opening scene just didn't register with me right away but I knew something was really off in this film. The film is extra cheesy. Looks like Sony ordered extra cheese on it. It just didn't feel like a Disney Marvel movie. It wasn't until the end credits that I realized this was a Sony Picture. Ironically, I think it's more ""Disney TV-G"" for Disney Channel than Disney Marvel movies. I really didn't like it. It was disappointing. This picture should have been split up into five parts and made into a mini Netflix TV season because it has more of a made for television Je Ne Sais Quoi than silver screen material. I am surprised it is rated PG-13, but I think it might be for some very few sexual innuendos in the dialog otherwise it's a TV-G. I can't see adults liking this film. Last year's animated ""Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)"" is a far better movie than this live action film with CGI draped spiderman suits.",4 "I had higher expectations for this movie coming into the theater. With all the hype surrounding a big budget film that cast Gal Gadot as the main character, who just happens to be a woman, and the advertising that was poured into portraying Wonder Woman as the positive antithesis to the vulgarity that is ""man"" (and elevated female prowess by association), it didn't stand up to many of the movies in the superhero genre (such as Civil War, Iron Man 3, etc.). While the film at its moments with flashes of brightness and endearment, the best part of the movie involved the natural chemistry between WW and Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), but the rest of the movie was left for interpretation as to whether it was great (WW lovers camp), mediocre, or really bad. I fall in the middle for the following reasons: 1. Gal Gadot is beautiful, but her acting performance was OK. It was not a break-out role for her by any stretch of the imagination. Much of the dialogue in a number of scenes involved screaming back at Steve and that's hardly acting. She is easy on the eyes to look at, to hear (when not screaming), to like, and I wanted so much to be absorbed by her portrayal of a superhuman with a fine balance of perfections and flaws, but in the end, she reduced to just another pretty face. 2. The CGI and action scenes were so-so. They weren't the best nor were they the worst. Perhaps what made some it fatiguing at times was the frequent use of slow-motion jump twists that the Amazonians and WW herself do. Granted, I'd rather see those moves than the more laughable Scarlett Johansson jump on the shoulder-squeeze the neck with thighs move in the IM and CA movies. Simply put, they could have hired a better fight choreographer for the actresses, as many sequences were simply not believable or too cheesy to digest. 3. Wonder Woman was too powerful. She could have simply taken care of ending the war by herself, crushing all the evil males, while Steve and his male recruits (Chief et al.) were not nearly as relevant to any degree - maybe for the sake of comic relief and emotional empathy. 4. The main villain, Ares (David Thewlis), immediately gave me flashbacks of Harry Potter. There was a scene where I just thought, ""No way Remus!"" The scene to me was more comical than it was believable. There was one person in the theater, a woman, who clapped incessantly throughout the movie, especially when WW raised her shield to fight off a bunch of baddies on the front line to the amazement and disbelief of Steve and fellows. While I understand this was somewhat about girl-power, it did get artificial and annoying. Perhaps Gal Gadot can win me over in the sequel :-)",5 "I wanted to like this movie. I really did. However, it was a complete slog fest. Did Spielberg suddenly forget how to make movies? The direction was poor, the writing was poor, and editing was terrible. Overall, it was a completely disjointed picture. All the characters were completely underdeveloped. The Michelle Williams character, in particular, was completely irritating and irredeemable. No offense to Michelle's acting abilities, but her Performance was not worthy of an Oscar nod. Perhaps the subject matter of the movie being semi autobiographical was to much for Steven to completely put himself out there.",4 "They should have named it ""House of the dra-ma"". I really tried to find an interest in that new exciting tv show except i couldn't find any engaging storyline (i really loved GOT, except last few episodes of S08) and since we're comparing those two i would definitely recommend TROP over HBO's new GOT meets Bridgerton tv show. Everything is cheesy, and boring. What happened in this almost coming to an end first season really ? Feels like a very cheep version of GOT. At some point characters (mostly women) are aging and some other don't! I felt scamed and i said to myself ""did they really spoiled the end of GOT to go produce this junk"" Skip that one - you don't miss anything.",1 Basically not a bad film but every few minutes brands are being forced upon you in this movie ad platform. The volume of product placement is not subtle and takes away from the enjoyment of the movie... quite unbelievable to be honest.,3 "I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Selena Gomez's acting. She deserves an award for her nuanced portrayal of Mabel. She is also a singer and a dancer, not to mention an accomplished businesswoman. Is there anything Selena can't do? Steve Martin and Martin Short also shine throughout this comedy series that has a heart. It was very poignant at times and I almost shed a tear. A big one. I enjoyed the series and I am looking forward to the second season. That type of shows that mix comedy and drama provide much needed escape for a lot of people around the world.",9 "I'm not a comic book fan (I did see it with one who was also disappointed though), however I do generally like the Marvel comic movies. To me, the films should be able to stand on their own though because if they are relying solely on the people who have read the Dr Strange comics they will have lost the vast majority of their audience. Now for the review... This movie makes suicide squad look like art. The FX are overdone, the director hasn't really known how to express certain concepts and so has just resorted to quite cheap looking whizzing lights. The acting is okay but Cumberbatch is characteristically wooden and his character is unlikable (not his fault the character is supposed to be unlikeable). The female master (whose name escapes me for the minute) is too one dimensional to care about, the result being that there was no-one to root for. I barely remember the bad guys, they were way too (and I hate to use the phrase again) one dimensional and too many of them to focus your dislike on any of them. The plot also gets a bit iffy toward the end but I don't want to spoil it. ;) I know this is supposed to be on the periphery of the Marvel universe but it feels so detached from the rest of it you might as well consider it to be a different universe again. It's kind of like they have said 'and to hell with explaining the pseudo science with these characters, these ones are just magic, OK?'. And that may seem like a small thing but it isn't. It means that you can't ponder whether one superhero could defeat another because there is no logic to it that holds true throughout. It's just magic so anything could happen and all of it is on such a different level to what the rest of the superheroes are doing (fighting crime not alternate beings from other dimensions) that Dr Strange should effectively render them all redundant. I went because I got two free off-peak tickets of my choosing with a promotion on four packs of m&m's and I overpaid.",2 "I don't care for this movie only because it makes a grossly false claim. As a film it has very good qualities, but the introduction states that this movie depicts a true story, which is an outright lie perpetrated by the Coen brothers to mislead the public and boost ticket sales. The false statement should be removed, and the Academy should not have allowed this film into competition until it is removed. The film also depicts the people of Minnesota and North Dakota in a derogatory stereotype, which is also false. For decades conservatives and right wingers have denounced the movie industry as immoral, which I've always found to be totally untrue. But when idiots like this start lying and presenting false or inaccurate information as fact, it starts to makes me wonder. TELL THE TRUTH for crap sake!",2 "This anime is amazing. Its story, comedy, action is just mind blowing. From ep 12 the whole anime takes a huge turn leading to an outstanding story. You'll definitely cry after watching this anime. The only reason for deducting 1 rating is due its slow pace at the first half. At times you'll feel extremely bored and want to leave it. Have patience, wait till ep 12 ending and see what's worth of surving 11 boring episodes.",9 The hype for The Irishman had me expecting a film to rival Casino & Goodfellas which it does not. Even as a stand alone movie it it average at best.,4 Only 40 minutes in amd find it boring and annoying.. think i will just stick with the old Toby maguire ones. They're the last o saw i just find this spiderman annoying especially when he won't shut up during the spell.. hate the extra cgi spider gadgets too .......,3 "... strange yes, hyped to the Gaza? Yes! The marketing is definitely better than the series. There is just too little information even by Series 4 what the other side is. The series is more mediocre than stellar.",6 "Acting is so bad, non sense. Very superficial and the story is too short and no body is doing effort to fill it or make it more entertaining and I was just counting the episodes to finish it. 7 episodes and felt too long!",6 "The first film captured the hearts because po was a regular guy who had greatness thrust upon him. In this one you can't quite tell if he's the dragon warrior or an idiot, which I get it the point. But it's weird when he can fight incredibly one minute, then is luckily stumbling to a win the next. The story is weaker but the voice acting is absolutely superb.",5 "This movie is a beautifully shot, simple morality tale that doesn't hit you over the head with its own nature. I watched it again tonight after a two-year hiatus and am as struck by it as I was when I rented it in 1999. The repeated comments I read from non-fans of this film are: ""It's BORING! It's TOO SLOW! It's NOT FUNNY!"" Well, it's true, there are none of the following: Bruckheimer-style car chases, explosions, gratuitous balloon-like jugs, pratfalls, or jokes about bodily secretions. And this was never, ever meant to be a comedy. It was billed by some as a ""black comedy,"" yes, and even that incorrectly for my money, but by definition that is not the same thing. What it is, is a study of the good and the bad that can exist right under our noses in the most benign of places. That's it. It has the bonus of lovingly drawn characters that you can't help feeling you've met...and an understanding of what that part of the country is like. If you've never lived there or don't have any family from there, you're probably not going to get a true sense of HOW true to life it is. Speaking of characters, I think that Marge Gunderson still ranks up there to me as one of the iconic film images of bravery and kindness...whether she's encouraging her husband's banal hobby or confronting a bad guy, she's a waddling, unswayed symbol of integrity. And it takes considerable skill (by both the Coen Brothers and Ms. McDormand) to make us buy it. Her husband is a warm spot too...he starts out as a laconic Midwestern guy, short on sparkle or sex appeal — until he turns out to be a beacon of love and goodness in a brutal world. One of the great film marriages, ever.",9 "-Spoilers? Kinda- Marvel, having spent the last fifteen years or so spitting out mediocre movies with an exception or two, are rolling in a significant amount of cash. Along with the island-sized money piles they already had from the comic book industry,",3 "Anurag, come back to twitter...we are waiting for you. You coward.",2 "Not at all clear to me why this has been so well received. The story centres around a largely unlikeable character and drags on and on with little being added from one episode to the next. The one-dimensional acting of the lead also does not help. Finally, the conclusion is so overly predictable as to make the experience of watching all seven episodes (is that all? - seems so much longer) a colossal waste of time. Really hope there is no further season.",3 "I'm going to gamble and take Marvel at their word for this one, and assume that there won't be a second season of ""Moon Knight"" - that is not to say that I think this is the last we'll see of Marc Spector, but ""The New Avengers"" seems like a more likely return at the moment. I was initially positive, if slightly underwhelmed by the series, but the second half of the run won me over more. Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) mild mannered, English, gift shop employee is blacking out and losing days. He comes to discover that he has an entirely different personality inhabiting him, during these black outs, Marc Spector, an American mercenary for hire. To make things even more confusing, Marc has agreed to be Moon Knight, the revenging vigilante of the Egyptian god Khonshu (F. Murray Abraham & Karim El Hakim). Marc's current target is Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) Khonshu's former champion, who is looking to bring about the return of another entirely more brutal Egyptian deity, Ammit. I thought the first three episodes were OK. They're fairly self-contained, by which I mean the wider MCU is barely even referenced. I know some people didn't like Oscar Isacc's English accent - but I though it was passable, perhaps not distinct enough to narrow down to a location, but decent enough. His overall performance is perhaps ""Moon Knights"" strongest card. I liked the introduction to the characters, and I thought that the fight scenes were interesting. Halfway through though, as these series have had a tendency to do, the show takes a turn and we're now ruminating on whether or not what we've seen so far can be believed. I liked this second half, and the exploration of it, more than the first. It's deeper, sadder and does give us one key piece of information about how part of the MCU works. There are some excellent moments in the final battle, include a titanic battle, I will criticise the very ending though. Without going too much into spoilers, the final battle is won off screen and I'd have liked to have (perhaps in the post credits scene) seen exactly how that happened. There, that's vague enough, I think. Perhaps the uncertainty is a factor in this, but if that's all we ever see of the character then I'm a little underwhelmed. We leave him just as one of the more interesting aspects about him comes to the fore. Here's hoping we get a chance to explore that down the road.",7 "This movie is excellent. Funny & brilliant throughout. Margot Robbie is sensational. Ryan Gosling is excellent. The script is superb. The visuals are incredible. The outfits are spectacular. The music is fabulous. The dance scenes are fun! All the details from the pink slide through to the nods to all the retired Barbie friends are so wondrous & nostalgic. It's truly truly a brilliant movie. A week after seeing it I'm still thinking about it. When was the last time people dressed up to see a film?! It's a truly remarkable movie. And deserving of a multitude of Oscars. Stop reading reviews and just watch it.",10 "I was really looking forward to season 3, because 1 and 2 were so good. They dealt with serious issues like kidnapping and the loss of a child, and honestly showed the truth of people's behavior. The stuff of great storytelling. Soul, mind and heart. Season 3 had a stupid, superficial cartoon-like tone completely losing the gravitas and dignity that made the show so good. There was 10x more CGI and 1/10th the soul. It was kind of heartbreaking. Instead of learning from shows like Supernatural that maintain their integrity and did a 15 (!) year run or ST Voyager, they lost the truth of their story. They knew better than to dumb down this show!",1 Would i say this a well made movie? Yes. Would I say it's well acted? Yes. Would I say it lived up to the hype when it came out? Yes...and No. This movie just didn't hit it for me. I wanted to like it a lot! But I ended up just coming out the theater just kinda disappointed that it really wasn't that good.,3 "Although i cannot personally vouch for the veracity of the events or of the depiction of life in Chernobyl / Pripyat - there are countless reviews here that work to that effect - this is one of the best pieces of story-telling I have ever seen. The acting is superb but more importantly, the cinematography and the scene sequence really makes you panic throughout the show and wonder - how was this story not properly told before? How is it possible for something as huge as the Chernobyl disaster stay under wraps for so long? What is perhaps even scarier, is how invisible are the effects of this disaster in the short-term. After all, the day looks similar to any other when they change the setting to the town in the first episode. This was what frightened me the most - how could those people have known? All of the fallout from the accident is masterfully portrayed and the show actually evolves for merely reporting the events to also give an insight into the lengths at which the USSR was willing to go in order to avoid it being spread internationally. On par with ""When They See Us"" as the best piece of entertainment I have seen in 2019. Would recommend it to everyone.",9 "Someone wrote ""Best Picture of the Year"". Are you kidding? This is the 3rd sequel to the 1937 (William Wellman directed) very good original, 1954 (George Cukor directed) the best version) & 1976 (Frank Pierson directed) mediocre version. This one is directed by Bradley Cooper (stick to acting man!) cheesiest version.",3 "Anyone gave 5 to 10 stars for this absurdity who is past 18th birthday , not a comic book publisher Marvel Fanboy and does have a girlfriend please raise your hand. No one ? Thought so. The movie is atrocious. There is a plot a plus compared Transformers movies but it is so simplistic and full of tropes , deux-ex-machinas ( I lost count how many times Loki's magic staff was used to explain everything and advance story from brain washing to destroy portal opening device ) , stereotypes , predictability and cheap juvenile PG-13 jokes it becomes a parody. I wonder that was the intention. Self mocking with movie concept , characters , genre etc. Because there is no way this movie goes unpredictable or might surprise you. Ending credits might have said ""From producers of Scary Movie"" or ""Meet the Spartans"" Final CGI explosion filled fight scene (another parallel to Transformers movies ) against alien invaders where no one was harmed due to rating was so messy with headache inducing 3D scenery you either had to get out of theater for fresh air or close your eyes and ears ( I did former ) The result is box office inflated animation due to marketing hype. Except CGI special effects overuse it has little cinematic quality. Actors try to make something out of their characters but child like character material gives them little chance on that. Comic book fan boys. Please stop comparing your live action stuff with Oscar winning material. You display your ignorance and make yourselves ridiculous. Cinema does not revolve around you. I am glad that you got your live action clip but for the rest %99 of us living on this planet who do not know know or familiar with resource material The Avengers was badly edited , predictable (and sometimes cringe worthy) movie. And I am using ""movie"" term very lightly here.",2 "So slow, overly long and didn't resolve any of the plot points that were set out in the beginning of the movie. The art direction of this movie was the best part of this movie, and it was nice to see the different styles in each of the worlds. The character development is that of a typical angsty teen, becoming an adult, taking action without thinking of consequences, and thinking that they are the centre of the universe, which my be true in Miles's case, but the movie was so drawn out that it didn't feel like he grew enough over the span of the movie to justify it being 2 hours and 20 min, especially when nothing came to fruition. I feel they're trying to leave us on the edge like they did with Infinity War, but with none of the momentum or excitement.",2 "Another slow paced Q.T. nonsense drama with action glimpses. Same worn up fórmula... A bunch of characters from start to end that happen to interact and have some kind of connection. Some violent scenes to break the ice. Empty and dumb dialogues that take too long. Ridiculous twist (if we can call it that). Please, stop encouraging overrated directors.",3 I gave this a 3/10 because it was mildly entertaining but the plot just doesn't make any sense. the twist ending just left me feeling like i'd wasted my time,3 A dumpster fire compared to the comic. Could have done without basically the whole dumb side story about the deep.,3 "Bold, exciting & constantly surprising, The Falcon And The Winter Soldier is a miniseries well worthy of Captain American status. This isn't only a highly engaging action-adventure series about who will be the next Captain America, but it also offers an informed discussion about symbolism, race, American history, heroism & image. These ideas work their way naturally into the Captain America canon & it never feels forced. Sam & Bucky received a lot of overdue exploration. They proved themselves as tactful, well-rounded leading men capable of carrying the Captain's mantle further without Steve while maintaining his righteous legacy. Steve may be gone but I still sense his presence in these two. This series shows how truly human they are despite being superheroes. Some questions are left unanswered & a few new faces are kept mysterious. But hey, Marvel has lived up to their promises before & they'll surely branch out on those elements in later stories and be more relevant there. But last not the least, besides Anthony Mackie & Sebastian stan's chemistry, we also can see Excellent performances from Wyatt Russell as ""John Walker"" (he played his role soo DYNAMICALLY), Daniel Brühl as ""Zemo"" (especially his improvised dance), Emily VanCamp as ""Sharon Carter"" (her mysterious behaviour), Erin Kellyman as ""Karli Morgenthau"" (she was on total fire). I'm really satisfied I sat through this show. Its style and emotional weight are very in tune with the Captain America films and they're my personal favourites of the whole MCU. I believe Falcon and the Winter Soldier stands proudly beside its cinematic predecessors.",9 Ellen Page ruins it. Bad acting. Without her maybe could be a good tv show.,1 "Stow the skepticism, this show is brilliant. The best in the series since the iconic Silence of the Lambs, this a prequel based on Thomas Harris first novel of the series Red Dragon, a re-telling of the Red Dragon movie which glossed over Graham catching Lecter leading to the events of Silence of the Lambs. The problem with doing prequels and sequels to this iconic movie has always been, who can play Lecter other than Hopkins, who can forget his brilliantly improved hiss after describing a meal of brains? Mads Mikkelsen instead of impersonating Hopkins like other Lecters, totally owns the role. He is both charming, eccentric, posh and endearing, whilst secretly being insane, conniving manipulative and twisted. I can't think of a better horror TV show past or present, this show gives off a vibe akin to the old X-files in terms of suspense. Let's break it down: Acting: Phenomenal all round, Fishburne and Mikkelsen are master strokes of casting, Hugh Dancy is brilliant also, but I feel these two make for a stunning mentor relationship akin to the Angel and Devil on Dancy's shoulders pushing and prodding him along. Hugh Darcy deserves massive credit, he is damaged by his ability to empathize with serial killers, and obsessed by catching them, unlike everyone else though he seems to sense off moments in Lecter's character unlike anyone else in the show. Cinematography: Above and beyond what we expect from a network television show, setting the bar very, very high. Scenes are masterfully constructed, the dream sequences eerie and the gore is sickening. True horror at its best. Sound: A good soundtrack, but special mention of the atmospherics, subtle uses of sound to build tension all point to a class A horror film. Writing: The dialogue is great, and in character, for many scenes are just interplay between characters the strength in the writing really shines through. I for one will remain glued to the screen as we watch the go-between Graham and Lecter, wondering when he will finally catch on. To sum up, this is the best horror/thriller TV show, perhaps ever, deeper than the gore porn most series have regurgitated up, and if it continues on such a strong vein, will unseat Dexter (which let us be honest, is losing it) as the best thriller/horror on TV. Far from a procedural cop show, as one might first assume this is a masterclass in television production. Get hooked.",9 "Jessica Chastain was a bright spot, but I found no joy in this overlong, somewhat tedious movie. I had high hopes for this film, but found it predictable and pretentious. I wanted to love it; constantly distracted and wondering why there wasn't more innovation. And really,an oblong robot? How does that work on a spaceship? After the first planet, I longed to go to the other two. Please, let's go see them. Instead, we were sent to this ridiculous and supposedly 5th dimensional ""reality"" that had absolutely no purpose. The movie quickly ran out of inspiration, surprise and excitement. Yawn. Not fun.",6 "Personally I see NO reason it was ashyped as it was abd found it quite boring. Not climactic events, very few mediocre action scenes and honestly poorly written. Nothing about it was gripping nor had me on the edge of my seat in the slightest. I don't expect full action and killing all the time in a war movie to enjoy it but this was just flat-out very boring.",6 "I have enjoyed watching this show, and I love Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Vince D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk. All the episodes are great, and the action and courtroom scenes are all terrific. I just wish it had lasted more than 3 seasons! *** out of ****",9 "This is a poorly done Hollywood rip off of an Agatha Christie story. For the ""who-done-it"" genre, there is a certain format that you're supposed adhere to that you save all your reveals until the end, but in this film, they show the reveals right after they set them up in the first act. However, what do you expect from a Hollywood film that panders to idiot Americans that need to be spoon fed every plot point in a film.",1 I found it boring slow and I just didn't care for the characters. Couldn't believe they way they met or just why he just randomly decided to hang with her. Acting was fine but was so bored.,2 "Found the first Venom movie very annoying, so took a while to get round to watching this one. Loving the new Spiderman movies though so had to get here eventually. It is actually slightly better than the first. With some of the gags being way less cringey. And the CGI of Venom looks better (or maybe I'm just more use to it). But the story feels rushed, like they just want the character of Carnage done and out of the way. And his cgi is more questionable. Stick around for the mid credits scene though.",4 "A korean movie called ""Pandora 2016"" Chernobyl casts stole the whole series from it.. Same concept.. Same atmosphere.. Same cameras.. Its all the same. Even the story & firemen Everything's literally the same.. I dont know! But this is disappointing",7 "The good; lighthearted portrait of Tom Cruise who plays a goofy pilot, who is recruited by the CIA to smuggle drugs and weapons to terrorists. Things go well for a long time....until they dont. The bad: there is a lot of goofiness, but not much of a real thrill. Dont expect a tough gangster movie. Dont expect Mission Impossible style action either. This movie is solely about flying more and more drugs and weapons across the border. How they were able to NOT inject more suspsense and drama into this movie is a mystery, because the ingredients for a thrilling story were all there, but the director decided this should ONLY be a casual, lighthearted portrait of sponsoring terrorism... Based on a true story, with real life footage of American presidents who were involved in this secretive sponsoring of terrorists. It was a major scandal back in the eighties.",7 The only part of their Corp. that hurts is their purse. This cashgrab is a terrible idea executed in the most unimaginative way possible. Songs are butchered because the sound and voices can't match the emotion of an animated feature. Voiceovers feel like a bad video game. Jeremy Irons was too important it seems.,2 "This show was great. The plot did not move too quickly or move to slowly. In the first few episodes, we are introduced well to the characters with action added in between. In the other episodes, it really picks up. I think that Oscar Isaac was good for this role. This was definitely an 8/10.",8 "I love action movies, but this was definitely the worst action movie I have ever seen. Story line has no meaning and the characters are so empty. I am so angry at every piece of this movie that I logged in imdb and wrote a review. I don't do that.",1 "Seriously reviewers, were you looking for a plot in this hardcore, unadulterated action flick ? I wasn't and hence not disappointed. Most action films are based on the extraction of kidnapped family member or a precious item or heists of different types. Lovers of action films are going to love this film. The 10 year old son of an Indian drug lord ( Pankaj Tripathi) is kidnapped by a drug lord of Bangladesh, and taken there. Pankaj tells the boy's caretaker Randeep Huda to get the boy back or else.... On the other hand, a mercenary Chris Hemsworth is launched for a rescue mission keeping in mind the ransom money. The mission is launched and like all projects things don't go as per plan. The film is full of car chases, car crashes, shootings, explosions, fistfights, sniping with dozens of policemen/ goons getting injured or falling dead. Our heroes/ villains have barely the time to reload. All credit to the director and his cinematographer for creating continuous, pulsating, edge of the seat action majorly with a hand held contantly fluid camera. The viewer has no option, and he/she is sucked into the action through the vibrant cinematography supplemented with rocking music. A word for the crisp editing which makes the film racy.There are some splendid aerial shots to heighten the impact. Never a dull moment. Chris is at home doing all the action. He gets a chance to emote too as his character has a soft side. Randeep Huda does well. The actor playing the boy's role impresses.",7 "Was this the version of the EXPENDABLES FOR OLD MOB ACTORS ? I read such great reviews about this movie.But when I started to watch the first 25 minutes I new this was just a bunch of old rich Talented actors trying to break a hip bone for the fans because they don't need the fame or money. ANY one of these guys could carry this film 22 years ago But today all I smelled was bengay being slathered all over the screen.It hurts me to say this about such a group that has given the film Industry and fans so,so,much.At Least when stallone and arnold do this kind of film its tongue and cheek and not a serious misadventure LOVE THE CAST BUT they are not believable gangsters in 2019. not as leads but as older wiser ElCapo's or Dons.",3 "Iron Man 2 is just tolerable. I have just rewatched it recently but I don't hate it. Robert Downey Jr is the perfect Tony Stark but the plot is a bit too cluttered with Tony's problems and also his past. But it has great moments with the racetrack sequence, the fight between Rhodey and Iron Man in his house, Black Widow showing her fighting skills and also the chemistry between Rhodey and Stark during the finale. It's better than people give it credit for but it does have it's problems.",6 "This is an excellent evolution of a comic superhero movie that has amazingly blended political thriller and spy genres into the superhero action movie. It must be highly appreciated for many of its technicalities. This may not be a mystery or suspense movie, but kudos to the screenwriters who have managed to make every minute of this movie very interesting. And that's what is the most important quality of the movie. Not that it only makes money or get awards or even both, but remain in the minds and hearts of the viewers for having it entertained thoroughly. A special mention must be given to its action scenes that have been choreographed so beautifully and thrillingly that it has some of the best action scenes in the last decade or so.",9 "This movie is about the best movie you can make with the Barbie franchise. I still found it to be a relatively average movie. I suspect part of that may be that I'm not the originally intended audience, but it may also be that this movie wants to be a thought provoking and social commentary film while handcuffed to the Barbie IP. The casting is fine, Margot Robbie does a good job as Stereotypical Barbie, Ryan Gosling is ok as Sterotypical Ken. Simu Liu is a fun addition as are Kate McKinnon and Michael Cera. I don't know, didn't feel like there were any knockout performances nor any terrible ones. The writing is fine. Again, hands are somewhat tied because the whole movie is a pointed critique on Barbie and Mattel's spotted history as it relates to female empowerment but also capitalist consumerism. And then in the next scene they have some of the sickest product placement for a car in the Chevy Blazer EV. Still, it's a decently funny film with good self-awareness and a script that isn't afraid to take punches (rightfully so) at Mattel. So many punches in fact that I'm surprised Mattel OK'ed the script. Even if I personally didn't get much out of it, I'm sure there's messaging in there that will resonate more to other audiences. I mean there has to be because some of the dialogue is very on the nose. I'm not sure if that's a product of bad writing, constrained runtime, or the very setting of the film, but the sweeping brainwashing and the subsequent deprogramming speech are not very fleshed out; they're pretty generic speeches and not particularly rousing. Normally not a critique I'd levy on a toy movie, but for a movie with a central and visible motif on empowering the every-woman, a tired mother just trying her best, I'd expect something a little more profound. I did quite like the obscure lore that this movie brought to the spotlight. Seems to be a successful strategy pioneered by Disney's Marvel, built on by Sony's Spider-Verse, and now replicated by Mattel's Barbie. What a weird evolution. It's fun though, Alan is great, there's an entire graveyard of discontinued Barbie variants, I wish they had found a way to tie in the Mattel debacle with Computer Scientist Barbie. At just under 2 hours, the movie does feel a little long. I think there are some minor pacing issues but I'm not sure where I would fix what. Overall, it's an OK movie. Pretty much exactly the quality I'd expect out of a Barbie movie but executed in a manner I'd never have predicted. Social commentary that feels strange considering how good this movie has been for the company it criticizes.",7 "One of the best movie i watched recent days. Comedy, emotional, & smooth background score totally paisa vasool movie..... No language barrier, evryone watch with family....",10 "I greatly admire Steven Spielberg; I don't ALWAYS love him. Put simply, there have been times he has applied his prodigious talents to minor films (e.g., The Terminal, West Side Story). I just saw The Fabelmans, and I really loved it. I have rarely seen a film where every single shot is so carefully, meticulously and lovingly crafted. It was obvious that this semi-autobiographical movie was close to his heart (indeed, those are the projects that have produced his BEST films, such as E. T., Schindler's List, and Saving Private Ryan. It is clearly the work of a mature artist who is in the later years of his life and wants to tell his own story. Spielberg co-wrote the screenplay with Pulitzer Prize-winner Tony Kushner, and the contributions of a major playwright are evident here in the dramaturgy, particularly the dialogue. The other technical contributions, including production design, cinematography and editing all support the film mightily. The cast is extremely effective under the director's fine hand, with Paul Dano adding unexpected maturity as Mr. Fabelman, and the always superb Michelle Williams breaking my heart as the complicated matriarch. (This could FINALLY be her Oscar performance. ) This space is not the place for a detailed or robust review, but I will say that The Fabelmans jumps to my pantheon of Spielberg's best films. I think it was a movie that he NEEDED to make, and I'm pleased that he did it with care rather than a reckless abandon. A POSTSCRIPT TO MY FELLOW CINEASTES: I'm not giving anything away to say that the film concludes with Sammy, the Spielberg's stand-in character, meeting the great director John Ford. The person cast as Ford is a bit of a surprise and a bit of an inside joke. Don't reveal it here to other IMDB readers; just enjoy it.",9 "I originally didn't intend to see this movie but invited out by a person I couldn't ignore I went along to see if this movie was hype driven and it appears to be almost completely the case. I am not going to waste anyone's time by commenting upon direction, actors qualities and the art deco ambiance and other such pretentious twaddle because stories are just that and this one was a largely thought free action movie on a par with snakes on a plane (which I respect for being exactly what it intends). Based on the American wrestling formula, where the ultimate victor starts off by winning then takes a pounding only to come back and win the day, it holds roughly to that formula. Still this is to be expected as it is from a comic book and so was aimed at the 10-14 age range (motorcycles with rocket launchers kinda crap - need I say more). If your of an analytical mind then don't waste your time, if your 10-14 or of that mental age then go for your life you'll love it.",3 "FYI we only watched the first 17 minutes which was long enough to figure this is a crap film. For all it's virtue signalling I was offended that we the audience were supposed to conclude that the black woman who opened the door to the young Billy couldn't be his mother, talk about overt racism.",2 "These action movies nowadays are trying to copy John Wick. Extraction is a borderline bad movie with just enough decent stuff to keep it from being bad. The one shot action set piece was admittedly kinda cool and Chris Hemsworth did do a good job with what he was given but everything else is so bland. The cinematography is bland, the action set pieces, minus the one take one, was bland and the characters were bland. The script was terrible and the story was so bloated and boring that I was scratching my head wondering why they made this movie 2 hours long. I would have been more lenient if the movie was at max an hour and a half long but 2 hours is pushing it. I would recommend passing on this unless you really want to watch it.",4 "I found this film so disappointing after all of the hype. The comments by gregeichelberger actually helped me better understand the plot which often wandered and was slow and boring. The first twenty minutes of the film without a single word spoken are dull. (I actually had attempted this movie on a recent flight but had fallen asleep!) Daniel Day Lewis' fake accent got to me and I could hear his British (irish?) pronunciation breaking through at times on certain words. He was almost like a caricature of someone rather than a real person. The other characters stay vague and underdeveloped. Eli's character was one of the best actually. At least his fervor, no matter how misdirected or fake, came though clearly. Lewis' motivation never does. Does he become rich, and does he care? Would he really have taken in a baby in his difficult and random treks around the west? I doubt that someone as selfish as he would have even considered this, despite the later benefit of having a ""cute face"" with him. I agree that the final scene was so unnecessary and unbelievable. Had it been played as some type of ""dream sequence"" where the viewer is not sure whether it's reality or not, it might have worked. Thumbs down from me. I'm glad that I did not pay for a ticket nor purchase this film.",3 "The review of Guru.- 2 ½*(two and a half) One gets into the theater with huge expectations yearning for a good movie after Lage Raho Munnabhai . there's everything here what a moviegoer wants for him to be dragged into to the theater. There's Mani Ratnam making a Hindi movie after almost more then two years, there's Abhishek Bacchan in a speculated role of his life, there's Aishwarya in the lead with Abhishek amids their of screen chemistry at its peak , there's a.r. Rahmans magic which is already into the hearts and ipods of many. so every one is excited to go on a journey through the life of Gurukant Desai. The first half catches pace after a while and intrigues the viewer with certain scenes . also the slow and steady growth of Abhishek Bacchan from a small time village boy to a business tycoon is interesting. Though at times the transition from the personal to professional life does confuse people as ultimately everything is left half baked. But the first half is the entire film. There did not seem to be a second half as the story just did not move. The director simply tries to complete certain unneeded tracks in the second half(like the Vidya Balan-r.Madhvan track) which really leaves the viewer completely bored. What is the major flaw of the movie is that the central character of the movie is not a good guy.the character that has been etched out is an unethical character. Right from the beginning he appears to be an extremely selfish man which never appeals to the viewer and moreover it does not leave any level of identification or will to imitate guru s life because everyone including the director knows that he is wrong. That's what gets the director into a fix as he tries to justify guru since he is his central character and the hero. but there is absolutely no justification to his actions. Thus the films basic ideology falls flat and fails to have any impact what so ever. Conclusion- just don't be like guru or else you will be screwed. What makes the film worth a watch is the music and the performances. The music really completes the film in the true sense as it actually adds color to the canvas. It almost seems to be a part of the screenplay since more then the dialogs or direction , music brings out the meaning of many scenes. Rehman truly makes one feel that they are visiting the life of a legend and an inspiration- Gurukant Desai which is suppose to be the intention of the filmmaker.hats off to him. Yes, the songs also seem to be misplaced but their hummable quality helps sustain them. For the performances Abhisek Bacchan undoubtedly gives the performance of his life but only if the screenplay would have been better. His travel through the various age groups, physical presence, and dialog delivery are truly commendable. He surely has evolved as an actor. Aishwarya is decent. But worth a special mention are Madhvan and Mithunda. Madhvan actually helps us know what subtle and real actually means and Mithunda proves that it is not for nothing that he is a two time national award winner and that he could really have earned a better and more respectable living without acting in those b-grade films. All in all as a film , Guru does disappoint us and is recommended just for the performances and the music.",5 "The premise was set up very well and what it was about got me mostly invested. I enjoyed the performances, especially Kate Winslet's (I had only seen her in Titanic before this and didn't think she was too special, but she truly impressed me here). Some of the drama in the movie worked too and the humor here and there, I just felt like the plot got somewhat sidetracked, especially with the medical/memory clinic team. Some of the stuff with them could've been cut out, and a couple other times the movie lost me. However the romance and Clementine's and Joel's arc together worked very well, probably the best thing about the movie!",7 "This film is not a typical harry potter film, it's very different and more grown up. unlike the past 6 films which follow a similar plot structure, harry doesn't end up going to hogwarts for another school year. I think a lot of harry potter fans got thrown off because this film was so different, and it was very different than the other harry potter films. But it stands alone as a great dark thrilling adventure film. Don't compare it to the past films, watch it and enjoy it.",8 "I thought it was strange the way American Fiction seemed to arrive out of nowhere just in time to snatch up 5 Oscar noms, but after seeing it I've got to admit the praise it's been receiving is well-deserved. The film is terrific, and frequently astonishes with how much it's able to accomplish. It's hard to fathom that it's the director's first effort. To start, the storylines explored here are surprisingly multi-layered and really make you think about the current state of race relations in America. It tackles mature themes in a way that's both impressively assured and thoroughly captivating, and right away I found myself invested in the plight of the characters. What's perhaps most unexpected of all though is just how refreshingly original and laugh-out-loud hilarious the film is. I honestly can't remember the last time a movie had me laughing this much in the theater. The script is exceptionally clever, boasting thought-provoking dialogue that's consistently whip-smart and engaging, and it's all brought to life in spectacular fashion by a distinguished cast more than up to the task. Jeffrey Wright in particular offers some truly incredible character work, deftly capturing the complex, nuanced emotions of the jaded and cynical (but genius) protagonist, Thelonious ""Monk"" Ellison. Wright absolutely murders the role, marking a clear highpoint for his career thus far, and leaving no doubt we'll be seeing a lot more of him in the future. The last thing I'll say is that I'm glad I went to see this knowing very little about the story. It's the kind of film you excitedly rush to tell your friends about after you see it, a genuine crowd-pleaser you won't forget. Rating: 9/10.",9 First season was incredible. Second season was a nonsense disaster unbelievable plots and all the good characters sidelined or gone. Did they try to get this show cancelled?,1 "The writing feels lackluster and uninspired, and the scenes often feel forced and devoid of any real emotional weight. The violence, while certainly present, feels gratuitous and doesn't serve to drive the story forward in any meaningful way. The acting, while not terrible, is nothing to write home about, and I find myself struggling to care about any of the characters. Overall, The House of the Dragon feels like a pale imitation of its predecessor. I can't help but feel like it's a waste of time. If you're a fan of the original Game of Thrones series, I'd recommend rewatching that instead. At least it had characters and storylines worth investing in.",4 "I really enjoyed the first one, but this was a hot mess. No originality. Literally pulled ideas from other sources of marvel. At moments i felt like i was watching what If. Then felt like it was wanda vision all over again, and most of the things never made any sense. The whole idea was so horrible i had to just realized i wasted 2hrs watching a movie that should have never been made.",3 """Inception"" is a solid and extremely entertaining action film that is based on an interesting concept, which is something rare for this kind of blockbusters. However, it's nothing as deep or arthousey as Nolan wants us to think. Its biggest flaw is that it tries to do too many things at the same time without fully developing any of the ideas. Dom's backstory is beautifully told, but the role of their children, as well as the mystery behind Mal's death, felt a bit too rough and cliché. The dynamics and side-effects of the dreams are explained multiple times throughout the film, but some passages still felt forced or just rattled off by the writers. The running time could allow more focus on emotional depth as well as character development. Yet, a lot of is gets sacrificed by the addition of a lot of superfluous action scenes, like the neverending mountain fights or the chase in Kenya. These are probably used to make the film easier to digest for casual viewers, but added nothing to the plot nor felt visually appealing or particularly adrenaline-filled. The ending is left ambiguous not for real narrative necessities but just to avoid taking risks but still keep the talk going. Don't misunderstand me: it's a fun and entertaining film that is masterfully shot, excellently acted, and even lets you think a bit. It just lacked the depth that such an ambitious concept needed and felt a bit overrated.",7 "22 plus minutes of show. 5 to 6 minutes of credits. Though to be fair, I'll give it one more shot then decide whether to continue to watch it or use it as a great way to take a nap. Yawn......",2 I didn't know what to expect from this series but it hooked me in quick. Karl Urban & the cast are great. The pace is fast & the show is not what I was expecting. Great cliff hanger to end season 1. Can't wait for season 2!,9 "I wanted to like Inception, I really did. I tried so hard to like it. So many of my friends loved it. I thought I would love it. First of all, the story takes forever to get going. The slow pace at the beginning of the film is nauseating. And there is no explaining of what exactly they put on their arms? Or did I douse off during that? The drastic, loud music is there to make the movie more suspenseful than it really is. Which I kindly had to explain to my girl friend. If the music wasn't there, you really wouldn't have thought it was that suspenseful/thrilling. People have compared this to Matrix. Right, I sort of get that. But the Matrix was SO ground breaking! The Matrix made you love Neo and the action was supposed to be in the film. Inception the action feels forced. This isn't a thriller it was an Action Film. Mindless dribble talked about felt as if they were mumbling -- once you get that you get a bunch of characters you don't care about. Leo crying about his family AGAIN?! How many movies can I take with him crying about his family? All the action in the film and the different scenery reminded me much more of a James Bond film than anything. Go from the City, to the Snowy White Mountains to The Beach. I was just waiting for James Bond to come in on a silver coupe BMW and say, ""Bond, James Bond."" Sure you don't ever want to compare films to other movies. But look at Shutter Island and compare it to this. A lot of people didn't like Shutter Island, and those same people LOVE Inception. Shutter Island was classic film making. This is a modern action film. People also need to watch Memento. Watch how this movie should have been done.",4 "I'm really disappointed. First couple episodes were awesome. But the rest just ruined it all. For me, it looks like the entire season was just maded with one purpose - to keep you waiting for new episode to appear and keep paying for Disney+.",3 "Nat ashamed plays the same character in everything, like her any way. This show , however, is tedious. Are New Yorkers really this superficial?",5 "SO well done. The casting is outstanding. Each actor has found the core of the character, that solid foundation from which everything else is built effortlessly. At least that's the way the actors make it seem. The performances are organic, spun from an organic thread that runs through the performances moment to moment, scene to scene, episode to episode. You never see the strings... There's Ben Wishaw's deadly serious and morally reborn Rabbi Milligan, who will kill without hesitation in defense of a higher ethic and code. And Salvatore Esposito's clownish and wildly dangerous Gaetano, a lover of opera and a complete psycho. Jessie Buckley kills as Nurse Mayflower, a a quirky Angel of Death. Buckley proves that killers CAN be fun-nee! Jason Schwartzman deserves an award, playing a mob boss like no other you've seen before. He shifts between ruthlessness and wit with ease, between boss and pretender in the blink of an eye, and somehow manages to convince us that he is the Top-Dog Italian in town despite that he looks like he more belongs behind the counter at the local Jewish deli. One great moment-to-moment choice after another. Brilliant casting choice. And then there is Chris Rock. Hard to buy in at first, cuz. ""It's Chris Rock!"" But with each episode, you buy in more and more. Head of the local Black crime family, the more ruthless he becomes, the better it gets. No trace of the funny man here. And that makes his performance all the more revelatory. I mean, who casts Rock as a mob boss, in a drama? Well, it worked! Direction is great, sound and lighting and all production values are high. And the writing is marvelous! Really good show, and too bad we can't binge and have to wait a week.",10 "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is an excellent movie in many ways and it is one of the best animated movies that I have seen this year. The movie is interesting to watch, it has several improvements with regards to the regular Spider-Man movies and it introduces many new characters. However, a significant part of the movie was too predictable, lacked creativity and seemed to repeat itself.",6 "A corporate-backed space flight crashes somewhere in Malaysia, spilling its priceless cargo: four canisters of stringy, thinking, creeping extraterrestrial slime. One such goopy critter manages to escape, inhabiting a series of human carriers like a serial carjacker, while the others are whisked back to company HQ for various pokes and prods in the lab. There, a forsaken ex-journalist with a grudge against the CEO (who is eeevil, for the record) makes off with one of the remaining creatures and everything quickly descends into metro mayhem and superpowered action. The nuts and bolts of how Venom's symbiosis functions are interesting, and the running conversation inside his cranium is campy yet entertaining (think Willem Dafoe's competing personalities in 2002's Spider-Man), but the human characters are generic, the plot is full of gaps and the narrative is terribly predictable. We also don't get a lot of good reasons to cheer for the star, beyond the visceral thrills of watching him crush cars, eat heads and say precisely what's on his mind. He's a victim of his own bad decision-making, both as the human Eddie Brock (simultaneously killed his career and his love life in one selfish act) and his eight-foot, alien-skinned alter-ego (prone to violence, wrests control from several unwilling host bodies). They're better together, occasionally pushing each other to grow and learn, but that feels more like a throwaway scrap than a theme and the climactic struggle falls short of achieving redemption. Tom Hardy turns in another satisfying performance as the twin leads, completely transforming his voice to inhabit the role of a bloodthirsty foreign consciousness, and the effects work is appropriately exciting. In all his glory, though, Venom looks rather bland without a big, white spider icon on his chest; his design is basically all head now. This isn't boring, it's just incredibly dumb.",5 "I was very excited for the movie, but it was a big disappointment that I couldn't continue watching it till the end!! At the beginning, it is good, but then it turns bad and worse! If they only built more effort to work on the plot and remove the comedy part which ruined the movie, it was then going to turn fine.",5 "The Boys was great. So why was this is so bad? The amount of cringe is unhinged. I want to buy and use illegal drugs to get passed the distress this caused me. 5 episodes in and I pray that some how I can some how get those hours back: I'm not even religious. I'm even surprised I can find words now because of the brain cells i lost watching this. Do the writers think people talk like that, act like that? It literally seems like they uploaded every instagram caption into a chatGPT bot and told it ""write me a script and make it how young adults talk and interact"". Maybe alien's wrote this. Wow, wow.",2 "A fast-paced thriller, Johnny Gaddaar is ample testimony that you can make a gripping Bollywood movie without any of the big names. Also, as long as you have a decent story you don't have to go gallivanting around the globe filming in locales like Namibia, Australia, Switzerland or Brazil. Without doubt, Johnny Gaddaar comes with a nice story and a tight script. No meandering or sloppy detours here. Most Bollywood movies are unwatchable despite the presence of big name heroes and sultry sirens because of the wafer-thin stories. That is when our Bollywood bozos are not shamelessly stealing from Hollywood. Fortunately, Johnny Gaddaar is different. In the late British author James Hadley Chase tradition of providing a strong protagonist who is usually a criminal but not really a completely evil or loathsome figure, Johnny Gaddar offers us the criminal Vikram. Bad but not repulsive and carried along mostly by the tide, Vikram holds our attention throughout the movie. Johnny Gaddar packs all the ingredients of a fine thriller - love, crime, sexy girls, action, unexpected twists and betrayal. Newcomer Neil Nitin Mukesh (grandson of the famous singer Mukesh) does a decent job as the young lad Vikram in a haste to get rich. Only in one crucial scene featuring a confrontation with Dharmendra does Neil Nitin Mukesh falter and fails to deliver the goods. Besides Neil Nitin Mukesh, Dharmendra, Zakir Hussain, Vinay Pathak and Ashwini Kalsekar deliver solid performances too. Even that Bollywood clown Rimi Sen has thrown in an acceptable performance here. The story centers around a gang of five criminals headed by Seshadri (Dharmendra) who embark on an assignment that is supposed to net them a hefty profit in just a few days. But one member of the gang has other ideas. He wants all the money for himself so that he can make a new beginning in a far off place with his girl friend Mini (Rimi Sen). So the double crosser sets in motion a train of events with deadly consequences for the others. Johnny Gaddaar is easily one of the best Bollywood movies we've seen in this year. 10/10",10 "It's amazing what you can discover (or in this case rediscover) on Netflix. There I was scrolling through the shows and there I found something from my childhood Avatar the Last Airbender which I loved when it first came on, I watched season 1&2 in their entirety but missed a few episodes of season 3 and as I don't like leaving things unfinished I watched season 1-3 over the weekend. Now I was expecting the same thing that happened when I watched some Power Ranger episodes that it is actually not that good and should have just left it alone, not tainting the perfect image in my head. However I can say with no doubt that this show is timeless and a must watch for any child as well as being thoroughly entertaining for grown ups. This show lends it self to both a young and old audience (the season 2 and 3 do this the best) There are characters, story arcs, plot points and jokes that I found just as interesting (and humorous) as I did when I first watched it 10 years ago. The story set in this fantastically created fictional world where there are four nations the fire nation (the baddies of the show) the water tribes of the North and south poles) the earth Kingdom and the air temples of the North, East south and west. And in these four nations are these people who can bend the elements of there respected nation. It is about this boy Aang who is the next avatar (someone who can bend all four elements) who after a shocking discovery leaves his home in the southern air temple and ends up getting frozen in ice for a hundred years. He is then discovered by brother and sister Katara and Sokka who are from the southern water tribe and after he is awakened from his 100 year slumber he discovers that the fire nation have been at war with the world for a 100 years and that his people have disappeared. He return is soon picked up by Prince Zuko of the fire nation who has been banished only to return when he captures the avatar and is accompanied by his Uncle Iroh. Aang also learns that he must master all four elements to stop the fire nations plan that will destroy the balance of the world. The story itself is great expanding epic but it's some of the smaller plot lines that can either be intriguing, funny or even emotionally evoking. And the characters are fantastic, Aang has a sort of captain America vibe to him in the sense that the world has changed so much from what he remembered it and he has to adapt to that but he also if fun carefree (most of the time) and has a strong bond with his friends and his pets Appa ( a flying bison with six legs...no really) and momo a mischievous flying lemur. Katara is a very strong female character which is not surprising since she and her brother lost their mother at a young age and their father is now fighting in the war as well as her being the last water bender from the South Pole. She and Aang also have a will they won't they romantic storyline that is very sweet and doesn't feel too cheesy or forced. Sokka is a bit of a screw up and the comic relief but he is also trying to fill his fathers shoes and be a great leader like him. Later on in season two we get many more characters on both sides like toph a young female blind earth bender who is funny and forthright, Azula who is Zukos sister and favoured child of their father and many more. All are great but two who really stand out for me are Zuko and uncle Iroh. Zuko as a villain for the majority of the show isn't doing this for purely evil reasons, he wants to capture the avatar because he wants to return home and have his glory and more importantly his fathers love returned to him, making him very interesting and conflicted in the later series. And Iroh is a old wise war veteran who is absolutely hilarious at some points, badass at others and tear jerking at others and there relationship is a very strong bond, the father/son I never had type that is very well done. In fact this show is very well made in general though it does suffer from a couple of episodes that aren't really necessary and only there to make it X amount of episodes, but since breaking bad and game of thrones also suffer from that it's not really a bit complaint. All in all this show was meant for kids and yes there are elements of that with some character moments, story arcs and so on but even those are still enjoyable to an older audience. When I finished this show late on Sunday night I felt this mixture of sadness and happiness that I only feel when I finish something so great that even though I understand that it had to finished at some point I still wanted more. 10/10 Also if your off put from watching this due to that atrocious film by M. Nightshamaladingdong then let me tell you that has nothing on this show may as well just forget it all together.",10 """Dunkirk"" was the worst film I have ever seen. The plot was incredibly ignorant , the aspects which helped that film were music and shots, but they were far from perfection. It was just so, so. It was really boring film; I will never watch it again. I think it was the worst use of my credits, in my life.",2 "Wow is all I can say. So many layers that had my daughter and I smiling, laughing, and sobbing all at the same time. Absolute perfection. So brilliantly written. Everyone should see this movie. It was amazing!!! Aspects for generations of women to submerge themselves in and was also full of a beautiful nostalgia for all the little girls inside of us, and those still growing up. I can not say enough good things about this movie. Though some may not enjoy the truths behind what this movie stands for it was a true testament to our current state of the world and what weve had to deal with for forever. Again just absolutely brilliant.",10 "Just finished and must say I really enjoyed it, interesting story, wasn't massively keen on the main character to start with, didnt find her very emotive or engaging but she grew on me towards the end",8 "I mean, just wow after ep 7, season 4!!! Blew me away!!! Best series!!! 1 july please Its gory, scary, funny and real! I miss the 80:ies!! I was 13 in 1985, oh the memories.",9 "I love who done it movies, but this one bored me. Daniel Craig had no presence and his fake southern accent was insulting.Not worth bothering with. I wonder how many of the 10 star reviews are from the people that worked on the movie.",1 "The movie is very natural & is very authentic. This is the kind of movies we should expect to watch these days after the demise of Rajesh Khanna who acted in so many master pieces till 1980s. Khosla ka Ghosla strikes a cord with the urban middle class, with no bravado, no super human efforts this movie was way more realistic than the khan trashes which keep coming out these days. Anupam Kher was the actual lead as a defeated head of the family, Navin Nischol was at his best, bringing in all his 30 years experience of acting to the table, easily he was the best of the lot. Tara Sharma was at her best too, she was the best newcomer, her chirpy acting made the movie look more nicer than it is. The amounts mentioned in the movie should have been a little more realistic, as no middle class educated family would take so many risks for US$ 20,000 (12 lakhs)even 8 years before, the amount could have been more.",8 Just terrible all the way to half. Then I just couldn't watch anymore.,5 I was hoping for more. It's a little dry & slow for me. Sometimes the scenes drag on for too long. Charlie Cox makes a good Daredevil. The ass-kickery is top notch. I was pleasantly surprised about Vincent D'Onofrio taking on the roll of Fisk. He's scared me ever since Full Metal Jacket. Rosario's Claire feels genuine & believable. One of the more honest characters in the show. I wish we could see more of her and less of Deborah's Karen & Elden's Foggy characters. They are both too whiny & annoying for me to give it better than a six. I find myself skipping through their scenes more and more often. I was hoping that would change in Season 2 but it didn't.,6 "There's some good atmosphere built with steady tension raising, good cinematography, lighting and sound... But it's all let down by some silly set pieces which lack any scaryness .. Sometimes less is more.. And theres no real threat felt beyond a certain point ..",6 "This film was well interesting at most: Yes there were some insanely rude parts but with a Movie like this it just adds to the humour. I did not find them that cringe worthy myself but others be upset/offended. Yes there is a lot of nudity but you know what your in for by the age rating. It even says on the DVD ""Contains Strong Language, Sex , Sex References , and Drug Use. My advice, If your easily offended by these then please don't purchase and view the DVD. But on the other hand this Movie has some great comedy moments a cracking cast and a deep story behind the plot. It is very enjoyable and you will certainly crack a laugh at at least 50% of the film. Overall it is well worth a watch and one of the stick out Movie's of 2011 (for me at least).",8 "There was a minimal storyline and that storyline was so rote, it's not even worth discussing. The majority of the movie moves from one shoot-out to another. After a while all you can do is laugh, because it becomes absolutely ridiculous. I cannot believe that anyone would agree to star in such a movie. It's pathetic.",3 "As a film that has gained much fanfare and a handful of prestigious Awards to date (Golden Globe and (BAFTA awards for best picture and a host of technical awards among them), '1917' has naturally aroused Oscar interests soaring high. So what's new? And what are the bets ? Following review of the film is offered from these perspectives. Here's a story of two British soldiers Tom Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and William Schofield (George Mackay) who are tasked to deliver an urgent message from General Erinmore (Colin Firth) to Colonel Mackenzie ( Benedict Cumberbatch), battalion commander of 2nd Devonshire (where Blake's brother Joseph Blake is a Lieutenant), in a battle zone across French border during World War I. The message that they carry is to stop attack on a German fleet - which is on a tactical withdrawal to counter attack - in order to avoid a big showdown and heavy bloodshed. Would seem to be a fine enough plot for a 120 minutes movie, which has its real time-span of over a day. The time-span would also justify the 'single shot' appeal that the movie presents. Obviously, there would be a lot of action, fighting, fireworks and adrenaline infused in between that would provide the movie ticket's worth. Not to mention of the superior cinematography (Roger Deakins of 'Blade Runner' fame), the matching background music (Thomas Newman) and the mesmerising editing by Lee Smith (remember it's single shot?). But then, sub plots and dialogues are what makes a worthy screenplay. Here Sam Mendes (Director himself, who had the advantage of the story being told to him by his Grandfather) provides some twists and turns to the story, so that the film does not appear too plain and stale. So we have a trip-wired bunker coming down, thanks to a rat - but nothing happening to our protagonists; an aircraft dogfight, which ends up with the shot down German aircraft falling straight into the feet of our watching young soldiers, and Blake getting stabbed by the German pilot when he tries to save him (why? especially when the Geneva conventions are still far-away?); Schofield collecting a flask of fresh milk from the scene, only to be handed over to the French woman Lauri (Claire Duburcq) who was caring an unknown baby; a bogged British vehicle which is salvaged thanks to efforts by Scofield; plenty of missed shots by German snipers; finally, Sho' managing to get across to Colonel Mackenzie and stopping the attack; and Sho' being able to meet and convey the sad news of his brother's death to Lt Blake. But sadly, the subplots manage to neither further nor enhance the plots. Some of them seem too deliberate - for example, the milk and the coincidental baby scenes, which had little or no impact on the movie's progression. And the dialogues are too insipid, carrying little or no punch. The film doesn't leave an impression on you, either as an adventure or an anti war saga. It ends up as wasted emotions and efforts, inspite of the great audio visuals that the movie presents (thanks to its team of technicians). So what about the Oscars - well, your guess is as bad as mine!",6 "I enjoyed the mystery of season one more than season two. And it is also worth pointing out that I am generally entirely burnt out on superhero stories, but all that said, it is original with a great cast. There have been several points in season two where I though the writing choices were weak but it has enough going for it that it didn't stop me from enjoying it.",8 """A Wednesday"" made me watch this and boy, was I surprised? Was I entertained? Hell yes, Special 26 is 2013's first serious cinema with no cheap humor, ridiculous stunt sequences or the typical B'wood masala. While Akshay Kumar is known for Housefull & Rowdy Rathore, this one plays different with a sharp plot-driven story and an even amazing execution on a real-life incident! Cut out the romance, and this is one gripping, fabulously woven heist drama parallel to what we see in Hollywood flicks. Anupam Kher couldn't get more thespian while Jimmy Shergill & Manoj Bajpayee complement the cast. Direction, screenplay (so that you don't get bored through 2.5 hours), score, acting and every other film factor is thoroughly scrutinized in this. Now, what's even more Special about this movie is that - since the time gap between decent, ""movie-wala"" movies is so vast, that you just can't get enough of it. Paisa Vasool! Originality in the thefts, corruption, authentic depiction of Indian locations and what-not, I could praise this movie and write a book moreover because it is 2013's one decent try. BOTTOM LINE: I should not reveal much and spoil the broth. Because Special 26 cannot be missed. 100% Recommended but if you are a logic- ridden cinema-goer, you may despise it! Except some dumb plot holes and serious anachronisms, it is a good thriller. But don't expect it anywhere near to what ""A Wednesday"" was. 10/10 Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES Language: Mediocre | Sex & Nudity: No | Violence: No | Smoking, Alcohol & Drugs: No",7 "Went into this movie knowing it'd be hilariously awkward. Robbie as Barbie and Gosling as Ken. Also a great supporting cast including Ferrell, Cena, Cera, Ferrera, Liu, McKinnon, just to name a few. It was thoroughly entertaining but a few segments were a bit too preachy on feminism, but that's to be expected when it's a Barbie movie. This film had great costume and set designs and will win Oscars for those two categories for sure. It will most likely be nominated in all the major categories. My only hope is that this destroys Mission Impossible at the box office so we can witness Barbie defeating Tom Cruise. Worth a watch and probably a re-watch once it goes up for rent digitally.",8 "It feels like their acting, music doesn't set the pace, all disjointed. terribly dull, why bother if your not going to do it right. i;'m, just one episode in, not sure if i'll bother with more",5 "The timeline stuff is weird at first but you catch on. I don't think it hurts the show. I don't think it's as crippling to the show as some make it out to be. That aside it's an enjoyable show with a good cast. There's a surprising lack of political messages, in fact it's pretty callous at times. There's a good mix of elements to balance the show without it feeling awkward or poorly timed. The comedy and ""romance"" dont subtract from the experience. The characters are usually reasonable. I have beef with one episode that seems to have been injected into the series but I'll let it slide. I assume it's there for some fan service. In a world where Disney has entire trilogies of fan service, I'll let one in ten episodes slide. One of the better fantasy shows you can watch right now. Definitely worth a try. The first episode is a good example of the rest of the show.",8 So guys just watch this mastepiece the movie is so cool and entertaning and joy full then part 1 well neveer think that this movie has such potatial ti watch at last amzing animation and d work and may sthings such as stroy is soo godd and well its is definlty become my one of best animation movie for whole life and stroy is just like goldmine this movie teach me everthinng that i know at end just watch this masterpice if your now demotivated its atomatc encourage you for work . The movie around 1 hour but i never fell bore such a good movie its is and finally the last scence is just mindblowing .,9 "I would have enjoyed this more if i didn't watched the first one. At first it bothered me why i never like this film. I love the acting, the characters, the ending, everything here is objectively good, despite that i never had any fun watching this. It just became apparent that whatever happened here parallels the story of what happened in the first one. Granted, The original was one of the best superhero movies i've watched at the time, i loved it for what it was and i enjoyed watching it at least twice which is something that i rarely do. Then this movie was released afterwards, in almost every way it is better than the first one, the actor for Doc Oct needs a special mention and the emotions that transpired within the movie gave the feel that a lot more is at stake. At the time i felt compelled to like this movie for what it is, but it's something i can't do, despite the talent the actors put in table, this movie feels cheap and a cop out since i already watched the first one which is basically the template of all the 3 spiderman movies (with Tobey Mcguirre) The villain's performance was stellar; i cannot stress that enough, but that only amplifies the feeling that their talents were wasted and the recycling of the story of spiderman 1 spoiled the greatness of this one.",6 "I was looking forward to this series for a long time. I made it through two episodes with optimism, due to an interesting enough story and the presence of Owen Wilson. There is potential for some great improvised moments whenever he's in anything, and he and Hiddleston play off each other well. But the writing has been intolerably lame, almost totally devoid of cleverness, and episode 3 burned up the rest of my patience. Aside from the fact that Loki has been turned into an incompetent idiot for this show, as least there should be plenty of funny stuff, right? Well, they do plenty of trying. But every gag is either just plain bad or way too familiar. You can see most of them coming from a mile away, and it gets tiring (You know how original the phrase ""you can see it coming from a mile away"" feels? That's how just about every joke in Loki feels.) Every episode feels like it was written by a high school student with above average talent for creative writing. I mean, I'm trying to be fair here. I definitely don't think the average high school student could have put this series together. That's the most generous sentiment I can muster.",3 "I love sci fi, this is not it. All of the so called ""drama"" was a result of bad writing (exploding geysers, terrible monsters) and don't even get me started on ""the best and brightest""( all of the colonists). Instead of coming up with a good or believable plot, the writers relied on constant stupidity or completely out of character behaviour (although 1% character development, could perhaps excuse this ;)) All of the drama resulted from ridiculous behaviour of characters that was beyond stupid and just got to be ridiculous. The show was so formulaic and predictable, that the only reason to watch was to see the bad guys and girls characters to get whats coming to them, and even this payoff was lacklustre. Usual hollywood mistake of using cheap emotional pulls to hide complete lack of plot, with the budget they obviously had surely they could have hired some decent writers. Don't waste your time, altered carbon makes this look worse than the original lost in space",1 "I must admit that I was somewhat at a loss about this one. Why? Well, because the old show was so campy in a bad way. But still, friends of mine were saying that this new rendering of that show was really good. So I decided to sit down and watch season 1, which I did in just two days. Sure, this show was definitely up to today's standards and had everything you needed for it to be entertaining; such as action, thrill, space creatures, space adventure, betrayal, robots, etc. And the special effects were most definitely quite good. That being said, then it was also a very forced show to watch. I mean, just how many things could possibly go wrong for one expedition? It felt like it was crammed in there and sure I get it that without those disasters then there would be no show, but it just felt like it was too over the top. The acting in the show was good and they had some pretty interesting choices for acting talents on the cast list. And being left on a cliffhanger, of course, I am sure that I will return to watch another season if there will be one.",6 "Honestly this TV series manages to be so full of cliches despite the unusual plot, that it's embarrassing. Worst in show: the hyper predictable conflict between the ""minorities squad"" and the evil middle aged white man. Honestly, beyond embarrassing. Not doing society a favour by oversimplifying issues via these crass representations of conflicts and power relations. Idiotic script and writing.",1 "One movie which you can watch so many times . Coming of age movie ... Shahrukh's acting is top notch so is the screenplay , story ,acting by the supporting cast. Must watch movie . The simplicity of the movie will steal your heart . Netflix thank you for keeping this movie in your collection . Gayatri Joshi's one and only movie before she became Gayatri Oberoi .Ashutosh Gowariker is a fine director . I love the panchayat scene . Summary : Great Acting , Feel Good movie , Good message , as an NRI whenever I watch this movie I feel like going back to my home country , India . Must watch for all.",10 "They had a great run. Show was hilarious for the first season, but Season 2 is almost unwatchable. I watched the first 5 episodes and I'm just disappointed. Not the same show.",6 "Altogether Brühl, Russel, Mackie and especially Sebastian Stan are just awesome, and some of the ideas in this season are very nice, and taking up the politics might also be just necessary in these days, so why the bad review ... The season is not just slow paced and somtimes quite predictable, but seems like it should be something very different. Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan are just ridiculously funny during interviews, I just wished that could come through in the series. There was also SOOOOO much potential for their interactions with the also awesome Wyatt Russel and Daniel Brühl (as I mentioned I love all these actors too). Some were taken, and these as well as generally bringing Zemo in definately deserves more than just 1 star. But the overall experience and mood ... I don't now if its the directing, the writing, the general direction of the series, my own expectations after WandaVision, or the forcing direction of ""what this series has to be""; I really don't know. I only know that - as a whole - it is not believable, I feel like its not been taken seriously and at the same time way to serious for what could have been a really fun series. After watching all of it I am just sad for how awesome this almost could have been, and am hoping for a (better) second season, which is hopefully not only about the (from episode 3 on obvious) power broker ...",3 "To quote a popular Internet Age meme: WHAT THE F*** DID I JUST WATCH?! More pertinently: WHY IS THIS FILM BEING (i) SHILLED FOR, AND (ii) WHY DOES IT GARNER AVERAGE SCORES IN THE HIGH 7's HERE AT IMDb AND 90%+ AT RT...?! I never before thought much of the whole ""feminazi"" or ""SJW"" conspiratorial take on how social engineering is said to be taking place―through the agency of entertainment, its content and subsequent promotion. However, 'Wonder Woman' has caused this reviewer to stop and take pause. For this film is one, woeful pile of garbage (even in the context of a comic book schlock), that should be given a Razzie for its crimes against the filmic medium; not garner ridiculously unwarranted praise. From its horrid casting and barely passable acting (was Gal Gadot away sick during the 'acting module' of her JIDF training tenure?), to its amateurish stunt work and ensuing overuse of CGI effects―necessitated in an attempt to futilely smear over the the film's said substandard chop-socky / pew-pew sequences―Wonder Woman is one of the worst, if not THE worst comic book film I have ever had the displeasure of running afoul of. From go to wow, the film is an aural and visual 'turd de faeces'. There is so little to redeem a film like this, that one must wonder what was going through the minds of those who crafted it: Did they watch the dailies? Did the actors have any input in the creative process, whatsoever? Was it all ""green screened""...? Surely this was all filmed blind... blind drunk, that is! Even for those pushing the film as an empowering vehicle for female actors ― they have very little to grasp at here. The male ""co-star"" (Chris Pine) is given the bulk of the film's der-dumb dialogue; thus, insultingly relegating the titular character to playing second fiddle. So much so, in fact, that for most part, Gadot's role arguably fails the very 'Bechdel test' the film (and those who champion it) strove to emancipate the yoke of. Of course, this must all be tempered with what the director and screen-writers had at their disposal (with respect to acting clout), which was patently very, very little (*assuming the drivel was not all spouted ad libitum ― a suggestion not as fanciful as it might normally seem). In short: The dialogue was stilted. The interactions wooden. Obligatory ""love"" sceNE (*singular), ham-fistedly shoehorned and cringe-worthy to bear. Little character development to speak of. Barely a thread of connection was established between viewer and the characters they were meant to invest in. The acting was sub par, at best... A literal failure on every, objective, filmic measure. Even rusted-on Wonder Woman fans would struggle to find tenable arguments for the existence of this film, in the egregious form that it has been rendered. I normally do not write reviews for films of this shabby stock--in any capacity. However, given the hubbub surrounding 'Wonder Woman' and its association with ""the women's movement"", I felt compelled to throw my 2¢ worth into this well of bubbling, fetid waste. For I feel we must speak out against blatant shilling for that which patently does not deserve it on merit; and we must fight against the inclination to 'grade on a curve', that has gripped our societies since the advent of the Internet. Moreover, the 'process factory' structure that the industry applies to the production of films in this genre, all but guarantees one schlock after another. These films are clearly produced only to make money. As such ― given money inherently corrupts all that it comes into contact with ― the end results are fait accompli. This is not a propitious philosophical model, nor a mindset anyone should advocate for. This race to the bottom, which we are embarked upon, does a disservice, not only to the art form, but also to wider culture and society. Wonder Woman is not the female-helmed comic book film you were looking for. Move on.",3 "I've enjoyed it. Love the pace, the backstories and the character growth has been really interesting. Worth the time.",9 "There do appear to be a few obvious errors! Within the piece there is a lovely story between the boy and a Wolf, they do save each others lives and most certainly a bond. However, WHO invited ""faux fur?"" which is heavily used in the film when it would not have been invented. On his way home, the boy grows a moustache but NOT a beard!-amazing dont your think? Then theres the 2-3 occasions he manages to survive against the odds. This film could have been so much better than it is which is why I cant give it a higher score, in my own opinion.",5 "9.5/10 This is the closest we will ever get to world peace The first 10 min are just plain fun. If you're not easily influenced by music those few minutes might not work for you but they did for me. I also immediately noticed the inclusivity and honestly, I'm here for it. Most likely you'll be tapping your feet, bobbing along with a grin all over your face, oblivious to how embarrasing you might look. What starts off as the greatest party ever surprisingly quickly turns very real. The first emotional scene comes so out of the blue you're almost tempted to laugh, but Greta Gerwig holds it with such eviction that it just works. Movies like Free Guy, virtually any Marvel movie or (let's be honest) most comedy films in general fold whenever it comes to marrying comedy and drama. So imagine my surprise when it worked so gloriously well in this one. Margot Robbie also plays a huge part in this giving an incredibly rich performance. She was born to play Barbie as Ryan was born to play Ken. Ryan Goslings singing/dancing also elevates this heaps. ""I'm just Ken"" should at least be nominated for Best Original Song IMO and boy I do want to see a Ken sequel. Oh and yeah, have you SEEN Ryan Gosling? (so hot). Glad they decided to keep him shirtless most of the time. And while it does show up gender stereotypes (by swapping gender roles, entering the real world), and for the most part portrays the feminine perspective, it also touches on the human experience. Because even though Barbie might be perfect, humans are not. And the coming to terms with that and questioning if that's such a bad thing becomes an integral part of the film. If anything, I think the resolution of the conflict feels a little rushed/simple although it defies expectations. There was a long lead up for Barbie but not really for Ken so it doesn't entirely feel earned. Barbie's ending however is (again) an amazing conclusion and rounds of the movie perfectly. Was also a little worried about it having a narrator but turns out she delivered one of the funniest jokes in the entire movie. It's the most sparkly, quirky, pink movie you've ever seen but will also most likely send you right into an emotional crisis.",9 "Incredibly stretched film. This film could have turned out much more interesting, but the lengthy timing ruined everything, I expected much more from this film, as many friends advised me to watch it, but my hopes were not justified, I wasted my time...do not recommend, die of boredom.",1 Mediocre movie that got overhyped. Not worth all the praise that it got.,2 "It's been a while since I've watched a TV series- and smiled at the end of it! What a thrilling, colourful, creative, warm and smartly written piece of dramatic-comedy. The Martin & Short duo are always a hit for any audience but for me a previous admirer of both their projects, respectively it was truly enjoyable to see them on screen united again. I'd never watched Selena Gomez in film of TV, so now I think she is an excellent addition, smart, grounded, staunch yet her story added delicate and tender moments to the plot. I was thoroughly entertained by this mystery- I couldn't fault anything about it!",8 "Went for the movie after hearing about the Awesome reviews. But i didn't have the same feel like others had. I gave a 7 star out of 10 ,its just because it was a real life incident - SURGICAL STRIKE and the rating is not for the movie ofcourse. I prefer giving a 5-6 for the movie as it didn't give me the ""JOSH"" . And i watched movie in UAE , i don't know whether few scenes are trimmed out of the full lengthy movie as i felt the editing wasn't of high quality...may be its sucks at some point. Vicky Kaushal as usual was pretty comfortable in his role..a great actor for our bollywood to look out for.",7 "Beautiful cinematography, beautiful ending. no plot twist watsoever.",7 "So this dude who's been farming all the time, drives his truck trying to trespass into a top secret NASA base is designated as the savior of earth and driver of the space ship out of nowhere, like the day after with zero training at all? And the same guy drops into a black hole just find out himself end up behind his daughter's bookshelf peeping outside, and somehow survives the black hole and gets rescued? And you call this a hard-core scifi? Harry Potter makes more sense to me, at least they wave their magic wand and spell before something this ridiculous happens.",7 "Boys escape because of inferiority and girls cater to it because of inferiority. The loneliness of a boy comes from himself. He seeks outside and needs to be filled by the affirmation of the outside world. The loneliness of a girl comes from the outside world. She seeks inward and needs inner peace to heal herself. They have different sensitivity, vulnerability, confusion, inferiority and loneliness, so they can comfort each other, but it is difficult to rely on each other. But when they can meet each other, they already have the luck that ordinary people can't reach.",8 "I love the interaction between Steve Martin and Martin Short, and was honestly surprised by how much I liked Selena Gomez's character. Great plot twists, kept we watching all 10 episodes in about 1 week. Another season please!",9 "Triss Merigold and Fringila Vigo are not black in the books nor the video games. This is pandering to the masses and it kinda ruins the series for me. The series as a whole is ok. Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer are perfect.",5 "The necessary changes to the original 1960's series appear to have been painstakingly thought out. The story line has always been a good one and did not need alteration. The writing is sharp, witty and thoroughly believable. However, sci-fi shows always need more from its actors than shows that do not require any of us to stretch our imaginations. Fortunately, all actors come across as believing in their roles and that's what is reflected on the TV screen. No one should be disappointed with this latest version of Lost in Space.",9 "Episode 1 was fast paced but keeping in mind that it has only 30 minutes run time for one story, I won't complain much. Seeing Dominic Cooper again as Howard Stark and Skinny Steve Rogers was fun. Animation is superb and very realistic, and the action is also good. Overall nice start of the series. Hopefully upcoming episodes will be more interesting.",9 "Hmm... where to start? I watched this sh!t on the last day of school with my friends at a farewell gathering. And what do we usually do when we're at a gathering? Movie-watching. and that 2 hours and 15 minutes was a f*king waste of our precious time! At first, we thought that we will go back home all sad and unwilling. But after seeing this shitty film, a feeling of disappointment and anger rush to our hearts. No story. Bad plot. Lame and ridiculous CGI. Bad acting. Misuse of actors and actresses and so much f*king more! F*ck this film! F*ck Warner Bros. Pictures!",3 "Yes I was the only grown man sat in the 10:40am showing of this film on my own. And yes I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was more of the same fun from the first film but progressed a little bit more with character background, a simple cultural story, and plenty of action. And it wasn't just these points I enjoyed, it was the general 'feel' of the film as a beautifully crafted homage to a few Chinese animated stylings. Voices were once again perfect for each character, with special note towards Gary Oldman and Danny McBride. Music was as fantastical as the animation and really builds the film as an excellent artistically entertaining piece. A superb sequel that other sequels should take note of. I left the theatre feeling both satisfied and elated, wanting just that little more of the film. And yes that does mean I would like to see one more Kung Fu Panda sequel.",9 "After a long time ..there is a hindi movie...After Sairat......another bang by Nagraj...felt like just saw some dope classic......what storytelling...what direction...what cinematography......just wow.....The actors are just awesome ..... I think in many parts they overshadowed the great and Prolific, Bacchan sir.....hats off.",10 "This appeared in the top five Rotten Tomatoes best horror films of 2024. It's not even better than the well-meant, but flawed, Fazzbear movie. It's dumb from the get-go. Somehow these nihilistic kids know the exact parameters for stopping and starting sessions-as if the conduit came with an instruction booklet. If one views the first half of the movie as a metaphor for taking psychotropic drugs, then there's something interesting being said. But even that message ceases once the movie shifts into exorcism mode. The Aussie accents are a little too thick at times. The ending was a disappointment. I took nothing positive away from watching it save the relief of it finally ending.",1 It is well plotted and it went very interesting for 4 episodes. Then it was relatively disappointing .. events was forced to conclude. May I did not like the too dark situation. It could happen though. Still it is missing something.,8 "Whilst performances and characters stay true, the story becomes transparent and predictable. Though it's undeniably fun, it was mismatched with gore and innocent sub-plots, as though it's target audience was unclear. With the classic family back on-screen over a series of episodes, the feeling of excitement was summoned and buried reasonably quickly after learning the storyline would last the entirety of the season, leaving many wasted opportunities and a thin plot. Delightfully dark sets, familiar family-favourites and ace acting; a perfect combination to resurrect the cultist-classics. Yet, the previous are all let down by lack of attention to detail, infecting a wearing story that loses it's theme quicker than zombies and limbs. Brilliant casting, though a spoiler in it was staring back through a foggy mirror.",6 "It was a good story. Maybe it could have been more romantic. At least I expected the ending of the series to be more romantic. Also, season 1 was better.",8 "So much random backstory, so much jumping back and forth and I didn't understand what was what... Some parts of the show I still don't understand why was put there or when it was in the timeline, other than that the show is really good. Cavill fits perfectly. I'm certain I will enjoy season 2 much more, now we have the backbone of the story.",1 "Yeah, but how many! Other reviewers have pointed them out in tonnes so i need not go all the way. But what were you expecting as a member of the audience. Even creatures or aliens are acceptable, but just no explanation whatsoever. ie no review can contain spoilers since the movie itself did not deliver any. Effects fine, engaging story only to see whats next and we wait and wait and wait and..........culminated into end credits. We deserved better. Heck, the movie itself deserved better.",5 "Rani Mukherjee could have been a better choice for the role of Nik Khan which is eventually done by Golshifteh Farahani. Randip Hooda was good through out. Pankaj Tripathi played a short but effective role to his place. Roles like Asif, Army Commander and Colonel Bajlur could have been played by any Bangladeshi actor with more calibre. It's just another Action movie with more flaws The Art Direction was horrible, music selection was horrible too. Netflix should have done some research about Banglades, Dhaka specially. Misjudged the locality of Bangladesh in a terrible way. Thumbs down 👎",4 "A huge disappointment for racing fans ( and who else would watch this sort of film ?). No mention of the original designer of the GT40 Eric Broadley of British car maker Lola on whose GT mk VI the Ford was based. No mention of Denny Hulme who co-drove with Ken Miles. It's as if he didn't exist. WTF ?! The largely hammy acting by Christian Bale also a let down as Miles' brummie accent sounded more like cockney in Bale's portrayal. Really poor dialogue and not even close to the real story. The best thing about the film was the racing machinery used but in the driving sequences a car wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes the way Bale smashed through the gears. Nowhere near the class of the racing classics Grand Prix and Le Mans.",6 "The 2nd season of ""The Umbrella Academy"" is very epic at all times. The ending is incredible, the events that should bring a third season were extremely well done by the team behind the series. Now it's time to sit and breathe after the season and wait for the next one!",9 If you are a fan of action movies then this is exactly for you. Hemsworth nailed it in action and the role of Randeep Hooda doesn't disappoints you at all. Pankaj Tripathi's role is small but important. Priyanshu who played negative role in the movie did his job pretty well. The story of the movie is predictable.,7 """Everything Everywhere All at Once"" (2022) is a film that's been lauded for its high creativity and unconventional storytelling. At its core, it's an ambitious narrative exploring multiple dimensions, centered around a protagonist who acquires diverse skills from her alternate selves. Despite its critical acclaim and originality, the film's duration, extending over two hours, tends to be both unrelenting and wearisome. The movie's approach, though imaginative, often veers into the realm of pretentiousness. This, coupled with its overrated perception, creates a sense of disconnection. It's as if one is watching the events unfold from another dimension, unable to truly immerse oneself in the story. This detachment is intensified by the film's chaotic narrative, where limitless possibilities negate any real sense of danger or consequence. The characters, thus, feel distant, as there seems to be no substantial reason to invest emotionally in their journeys. The protagonist's ability to gain skills from other dimensions is a highlight, infusing the story with moments of enjoyment. However, the film falls short in creatively exploiting this concept beyond the realm of visual gags and action sequences. The novelty of elements like hot dog fingers wears thin, failing to add significant depth to the overall plot. On the technical front, the film shines with its impressive production values. The editing, direction, and post-production work are commendable, enhancing the movie's multidimensional aspect. The acting, however, is average and lacks memorability. Some performances, especially in the beginning, feel unconvincing and forced. In conclusion, ""Everything Everywhere All at Once"" stands out for its bold and imaginative concept but struggles in forging a meaningful connection with its audience. Its bombardment of visual excess and melodramatic elements results in a viewing experience that is more exhausting than engaging, leaving the viewer feeling disengaged and uninvested in the chaos unfolding on screen.",3 "This movie is one of the most remarkable I have seen in recent times. Slavery is a theme that has been approached in cinema, giving rise to such grandiose films as, for example, ""Amistad"", a film with which we can make comparisons, since both are close: they approach the same theme from a similar perspective, situate Its history roughly the same time and both start from true stories. However, this film has the added beauty of showing us the cruelty to which a slave was subjected by its owners. And I say the word beauty because we sometimes need to see in order to understand. From this point of view, this film, based on the memoirs of Solomon himself, is an interesting document that allows us to understand the history, the past, the cruelty of those acts. Needless to say, I loved the story and I think the script is great. I do not know to what extent he is faithful to the book, but it seems quite true to reality, to what really happened then. The sets and costumes were also well made and reliable. Chiwetel Ejiofor gave life to the main character and filled the screen with feelings, nostalgia, anguish and pungent pain, in an excellent interpretation. Dickie Gravois is the name, I think, of the actor who plays the foreman of the last plantation where Solomon worked, and I must congratulate this actor as he has made his character truly worthy of our hatred. This is a precious film that hardly makes anyone indifferent. It is not for everyone. Children should not watch. It has some nudity and especially violence, which is needed in such a film. It's worth watching.",8 "Talk to Me is an incredibly enjoyable watch, offering a breath of fresh air for both the horror genre and filmmaking in general. As a true directorial debut from Michael Philippou and Danny Philippou, it stands out as a great success. The film introduces a new and creative idea with a fun and energetic style, although there are some minor bumps along the way. The immersive world-building captivates viewers instantly, evoking a sense of wonder. The characters, portrayed by a talented cast, are relatable with both their strengths and flaws. Sophie Wilde's standout performance handles complex emotions with finesse. The scares are well-executed, avoiding cheap thrills and are instead blended seamlessly into the narrative. While some moments may elicit a humorous reaction depending on the viewing situation, the overall experience is enjoyable. The film strikes a balance in exploring its storyline without overexplaining or underexploring, which I feel is a great choice. Certain sequences are difficult to watch due to some intense and gruesome violence; however, I believe that because the film makes you feel this way, it adds to the experience and showcases the brilliance of how the film is crafted. Overall, it was a great film, and I would recommend everyone give it a chance.",8 "So many people told me that this was a ""must see"", but I wasn't very impressed. The plot had so much potential and that is the only reason that it was somewhat entertaining. I couldn't get over how stupid every single character in this whole entire movie was. EVERY character seemed to have an IQ below 70. From the criminals to the police officers, all seemed to lack any form of intelligence based on the exchanges of dialog between characters. I think that ultimately this movie is one that should be watched. Perhaps if I watched it a second time I would enjoy it more. This movie is so highly regarded that my first though after watching it was, ""Did I miss something?"".",6 "You would think the story is adventurous, exciting, beautiful! Its not at all what I had hoped. It is slow, dark as a black hole, loud as an old Barton Theater Organ playing Fugue in D Minor interesting as a litter box. The story is thin.....I can't blame the actors, the entire plot is pretty simple. Can't inhabit earth, find somewhere else to live. Interstellar is a repeat of time continuum stories you have heard or seen before, I wont spoil it, but it's all been told before. Dialog is dreary, slow, ponderous. The comparison to 2001 is preposterous. The wonder and awe of 2001 and other movies before it was it had never been done it was the first. 2001 was all done without the advanced technology we have in computer imagery we have today. 2001 was a pioneering effort. This is not at all pioneering, inventive or surprising if you read science fiction at all. The imagery is not all that unique or impressive. The constant thumping and droning of background music was mind numbing. Most of the show I was trying to nod off, but for the LOUD THEATER ORGAN playing in the background I probably would have. I have to agree with some of the reviewers who thought the whole show was ridiculous and in some ways they are right. Somehow science has advanced enough to create interstellar space travel but not far enough to build power cells, clean power, they are still burning fossil fuels. The robots are Lego like, silly looking clunks of stainless steel....it is all so ridiculous. I would not call this HORRIBLE or AWFUL I have seen some real stinkers over the years. Interstellar is not so ridiculous it is a parody of a good movie it is just not a great movie some had hoped it to be.",6 "It appears that the makers of this movie wanted to take a shortcut to success. It is customary in arts to bend the rules, or amend the customs. This seems to appeal to critics. What the makers or Everything, Everywhere, All at once seem to have missed is that you need to learn the rules, and perhaps prove that, before you break them. The mediocre acting and inferior story-telling of this movie are best described as someone who paints for the first time in their life, and calls that surrealism. The movie attempts to associate itself with thoughtfulness when it talks, plainly, about how little we are in this universe, when it addresses the importance of not letting go of your loved ones, and when it encourages people to love and appreciate their lives as it is. However, it all seems forced upon the two meaningleas hours before that.",2 "This is something bad that was made by people who know better. To make a fast analogy, the movie is to movies what a Pontiac Aztek is to cars.",6 "It is obvious that they took the idea of ""A Quiet Place"" but using the vision sense. However it isn't as much compelling, thrilling and well acted as that movie. Honestly I was just hoping that it ended.",6 The anime's story and soundtracks are really good. The anime is generic and marvellous. This anime is in my top ten shows. If you haven't really watched anime I would recommend this anime for the first timers.,9 "Bad movie, bad acting, lots and lots of bad humor. Rubber was a masterpiece next to this. You might think they would change and improve but it's the other way with every new movie.",3 "It was terrible. Boring, pointless, terrible de-aging fx, boringly pointless. It's the Emperor's New Clothes of movies. The 10/10 reviews are mostly trolling, no one could see this as a ""masterpiece"".",3 Its too slow .. too boring and a hurriedly wrapped up climax ... after avengers the expectations from such movies is very high .. disappointed,2 The movie story is very exciting and nice BUT hindi version is not available.,9 Here is no disputing this mini series is very good and at times horrifically moving for me though until the final episode which truly was perfect it was very good rather than an epic.,8 "I'm a great fan of action & violence and I have thoroughly enjoyed both previous films however, the action & violence was a wee bit over the top, about 5 minutes! I won't bother going into the details as I feel the many other fans of John Wick would have felt the same. I was so looking forward to seeing the 3rd film and to see a final solution only to be left with a teaser ending to keep the story going on yet again. All I can say is that I as many others will not bother when John Wick 4 comes out!",4 "Venom is a movie to dark (art style) with a bad action and the last fight is a cgi mess. The movie lacks plot direction and characters changes,evolution and depth are more then scarce. The cgi is good for a low budget, the soundtrack is good and venom and eddie relationship is awesome. Really sad seeing how this made more money them guardians of the galaxy 1/2, deadpool 1 and 2 and others good action movies...",2 "This movie was awful and definitely not kid friendly. It turned a beautiful childhood toy and turned it into a horrid mess. It wasnt funny or entertaining. Any hope for entertainment was lost immediately. Any innocence that was held by barbie was quickly abandoned by the creators. The fact that mattel allowed for such sexual references and cursing is truly beyond me. Yes this is supposed to be barbie going to the real world and figuring out how life actually is, however it could have been done in a way where what she stands for was gracefully held intact. Instead of letting barbie go into the real world and face independence as she stands for instead of gross references to genitalia would be a start for a better movie.",2 "Human mind is a beautiful thing but when emotions come into the game it can fail very fast and clear thinking will be covered by the mist of arrogance or clouds of terror. This outstanding HBO tv-series shows the look on the disaster that has shaken the whole world and the deeper zooms at the attempts to contain the fallout of negligence. I cannot know the truth but yet another point of view seems like an interesting way to spend time. HBO as always has put all its skills on the line. The decorations seem impeccable, the storyline incorporates the characters in a way to show all the harm - remembered or forgotten, visible and the one that hides from the naked eye. The flow of events and the explanation stick together like a perfect lego figure. On the top of that we see the impressive work done by the actors. Jared Harris and Stellan Skarsgard form an amazing duet that shows the struggle of two men trying to save the situation with all the limits imposed by the regime. Emily Watson strikes with her performance and indeed incorporates the spirit of all scientific workers that have played the part in the resolution of the incident. It is stunning how the tv mini-series crawls under your skin. I will definitely say that these were the 5 heaviest episodes in my life. My head was boiling with all the information, risks, anxiety for the characters, their struggles and losses, the indignation of responsible people caused by the fear to lose face in front of the world. Even though I know that now, in the year 2019, we have situation under control I still could not sit still and relax. This is the example of a powerful delivery and the impact of the real life story behind the series. I think it deserves the highest rating, but I will go out of my way and take one point off for depressing me so much.",9 I cannot believe the reviews of this movie. I almost walked out of this film and I loved comics growing up. It's so hard to watch no fun very slow and boring with a stupid plot horrible script it's actually embarrassing for how far they've come to finish off this way. They tried so hard to make it sentimental and failed miserably. It should have been 30 minutes and focused on Hawkeye. I didn't feel anything but numb. Oh and of course they had to throw in girl power on steroids I nearly threw up. Watching Captain America iron Man Thor and hulk look and act so pathetic for the mass majority of the movie was painful.,2 "Went to see this movie with high expectations with all the big names. I was very disappointed. There seems to be a trend with some big budget movies telling small repetitive stories, that to be frank, the audience is not asking for. Sometimes i think these movies start being created 5 years earlier and when they come out its like the world is years ahead, we're years ahead. Come on! Another spy movie with fake russian accents? This movie takes itself too seriously, tries to be original and ''shocking'' but it's full of spy cliches from beginning to end. Of course there are some good scenes and a couple twists and turns. After the millions in cost production, it's the least you could expect.",4 "There is nothing more to say about the show, spectacular, completely flawless, from the story development to the character development, each character has an unique personality, that makes the story so perfect, making me wishing that I live in that world no this world from Sokka, Katara, Toph, Zuko, Iroh and all other have such good chemistry to support the story line. However, out of the three season, I found season one to be off course the most however book 2 and 3 are wonderful, maybe because the addition of Toph Beifong, best character ever created, too bad Nick and Shymalan have brought about the dead end of this universe P/s: I demand Nick to release action figure of female characters such as Toph, this is sexist",10 "After the successful 2014 movie I was eagerly expecting the 2017 Chapter 2 offering to be a decent follow up. Unfortunately, and despite the higher scores on IMDb, the 2014 first John Wick remained a hard act to follow. Chapter 2 started with a big promise and in about 15 minutes in, it flopped, so badly that never recovered to the end. An absolute and utter turkey. I wasn't certain whether I was watching a movie with a some reasonable plot and action or a video game with no plot but just a continuous and repetitive shooting of an endless army of baddies. I am glad that I didn't watch this in a cinema.",2 "Watching a well acted scene spoiled by really bad music, is overall a disappointment. Turns a good show, into a marginal show. *&$#'""()%-+=/;:,""............""""......................."".....................................................................................................",7 "This film is just terrible. The dialogue is painful to listen to and delivered by some of the worst acting I've seen in a long time. Jessie Usher (JJ) is awful. Granted, the character he was given to work with is pure cringe, but still, he did not help matters. Jackson was ok, but he couldn't save this mess. What kills it is how boring and predictable it is. Every scene is just movie by the numbers and had me wanting to FF because there's no reason to watch it. You've seen it all before. Oh, and I think it's time for movies to do a better job of ""hacking"". FBI data analyst puts his hands on a random laptop his dad stole off someone and after some furious typing and saying buzz words like ""quantum"", he ""hacks"" into some files.",3 I had this film sitting around on my hard drive for a good 6 months and never got round to watching it. But after seeing the high score this film has on IMDb I thought it was about time I took a look at this 'masterpiece'. I started watching the film back in January and managed to handle around 30 minutes before my interest started to wain. After another few weeks I finally had a second attempt at watching the whole film and I have to say I think I need a commendation for sitting through this convoluted mess all the way to the end. How this film has ended up at No.8 in the all time Top 250 I have absolutely no idea; all I can think of is nowadays very good special effects constitute this film as a classic as opposed to acting and storyline??? Perhaps they're are too many sheep on the planet nowadays....this would account for the ridiculous 8th best film of all time ranking.,5 "Listen I I read a lot of the reviews so I understand why some people dislike it. But I love it so personally I think you should at least watch the first episode and give the show a chance. The extended review: I have seen all of The Boys and Invincible at least 4 times and this falls in line to what I enjoy watching. I could definitely be wrong because I don't know the average viewers age however I think there may be an age divide among the audience. I'm 18 so I can more easily align to the ""Youth"" view point. Is it a little over done at times? Probably. But it's never so much I would even consider to stop watching. Also the average score for the show so far is around 8/10... haha with that said statistically you might like it!!!",1 "Wonder Woman is a sincere film. Its heart is in the right place. It's thematically bang on. It's important. I'm very glad it exists. I'm glad it's being universally praised. It has some fantastic costume work in it and some strong production design. It is, indeed, better than recent previous attempts at bringing DC characters to the big screen (but then the bar has been set pretty low). I see little girls dressing as the protagonist and it makes my heart sing. I see comic book stores hosting Wonder Woman Day, I see the world falling in love with a character that I've always adored. These are all wonderful things. I was very excited for this flick. When the reviews were coming in strong, I let my hopes get high. I admit that I actively ignored my Rotten Tomatoes rule of thumb (any movie with more than 90% RT rating has a huge probability of sucking). But the film is, subjectively, pretty bad. It is overwrought. It is written as if by algorithm, meaning that it is simply an amalgamation of standard scenes you've seen before in other movies, just reskinned for this world and this character, everyone acts out every scene in extremely predictable ways. Its third act fight scene is extremely problematic and boring. It is inconsistent, Wonder Woman's presence and powers fluctuate so wildly that she can fight and kill a god, but not a handful of German's with WW I era rifles on a beach? The CGI is criminally bad, the physics in the special effects shots are so off that it seems like I'm watching a last gen video game. Its dialogue has exactly three modes: exposition, clumsy attempts at humor, and stating out loud the thematic intent of the scene. Its fight scenes are more often excuses to pose the character than acts of complex, readable staging, particularly the awful final fight. The use of slow motion in the fight scenes is so reliable and consistent that it seems like a parody of Zach Snyder's already completely unengaged video game fight choreography. The villains mean nothing. They are uninspired, dreary, and underutilized. Apart from seeing the very well visualized Themyscira, and the handful of times we get to see Wonder Woman in action, there is very little fun to be had in this movie. There is almost nothing that feels inventive and most of the film is colored in that same drab, dreary way that all of the recent DC films are colored. The movie is looooong, with a running time that used to be reserved for movies like The Piano, The Godfather, and Apocalypse Now, films with sprawling cinematic, thematic, and emotive ambitions that this does not even begin to have. Lastly, I can't tell if Gadot is incapable of acting or if the script gave her so little of substance to work with that she did an amazing job just keeping it all together. I have to ask why? Why does the DC universe so actively avoid fun, immersive, well crafted, and inventive storytelling? Why do they double down on this faux-epic, dismal pap? Why are they so afraid of color? Of bold comic-book like choices? Personally, I wish I had watched a little bit of Wonder Woman on cable and then turned it off like I have every other recent DC movie, but maybe voting with my dollar at least helped change the backward ass notion that women can't open big budget movies. Oh, well. As I said, the most important thing is that this movie exists, that people like it and that the character is back in the spotlight. That's all that matters. My opinion certainly doesn't. This wasn't a soulless or intellectually bankrupt film like the other DC movies have been, it was just bad, but maybe bad is good enough.",5 "People! This is not a good movie. First of all, this is typical American crab. Where was the fluttery flag? I probably missed it. When things start to go wrong there is no time to cry for Argentina, its just stupid waste of time. You React goddamn! These monologues of Sandra made me wanna vomit and her acting was, what can one say, same as always, poor. The only good thing about the movie was the effects,and those should win something, but for a 100 million there should be some acting and script writing as well. So the rest of the flick was a total screwup. And the rating? 8,2 I cant believe why people vote for this more than five! No way Jose! Sadly this probably wins Oscar or two but that is just not right.",4 "The SWORD arc is unnecessary in this series, it only distracts from the most important character arc - Wanda's. She is the heart and soul of WandaVision. Sit-com concept is one of the coolest in the MCU, unfortunately left behind to show us another SHIELD. Why? Wanda is a witch, she does magic, why would I want to see soldiers in this series? Episodes 7 and 8 are outstanding and the first 3 are cool because of the sit-com thing but the rest is ok at best. The finale disappoints. I don't know what to think about the series. I really want to love it but its flaws are clear and could easily be avoided. Overally, I think WandaVision is inconsistent but enjoyable and it certainly is worth a try!",6 "Some funny parts, but mired by uninteresting characters and a plot does more preaching instead of storytelling. Thumbs down. Don't waste your money.",3 "I have mixed feelings.. Certainly, it is a well made movie, with great aesthetic choices, interesting scenes and good characters (Yorki). And while the topic is far from appealing in the general sense! this movie suffers from being a copycat attempt at what Wes Anderson does very well.. telling a story of a bunch of characters bound together by circumstance. I understand the message and feeling, as well as the character arc. I just don't think it was well made. Yorki was easily the best character (followed by K), and I wished everyone else was like that. They probably seem better because they aren't in it for long stretches of time. Some scenes just don't mesh together too, there are ""boring"" interactions that can be skipped without affecting the plot, and some characters just don't work. You can tell Taika is still learning or searching for his own style. Learning to write / adapt.. specially because the book is completely different (in tone).",6 "Considering the dreadful crimes of the so called Manson family, this should have at least told the truth. Acting is excellent!, music excellent, camera & production is quality!. I gave it 5 only because of a rather weird script, the usual and now very exhausted, Tarantino style of subject jumping and out of sequence scenes which no longer work!, It's Old Now! It could have been great but for using Sharon Tate who was of course dreadfully murderd along with her unborn child and many others murdered by the Mason Family. Add to that the upset caused to the family of Bruce Lee, by the way Lee was represented in a rather unforgettable scene in this movie. I did not watch it when it was first released, mainly because it was a Tarantino movie and (only my opinion) they tend to be hard to watch. Now 2022, a friend suggested I watch it, she considered it dreadful, while another (male friend) considered it a great movie. My opinion, I am over the scene hopping, worse still the unrelated scenes which serve no purpose other that to insult or belittle. IT was not a great movie nor even a good Tarantino movie for that matter!.",5 "Captain America The Winter Soldier is a thrilling throwback to 1970s spy thrillers and an excellent action adventure. Sprinkled with humour it does what every good sequel should do, surpass the first in every way possible. Twists and turns are aplenty and the 2 hour and 16 minute runtime moves at a swift pace and the viewer is never bored as there is such variety. The film deals with the titular hero Captain America aka; Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), attempt at adapting to modern times. This notion was severely lacking in The Avengers and cut to help with the pacing of the movie. An emotional scene that was supposed to be in The Avengers, was when Steve Rogers met Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), after not seeing her for years. It evoked a sense of sadness as she was the last link to his past. Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) 'Falcon' is introduced and becomes Captain America's sidekick in the vein of Batman's, Robin. Captain America's mistrust of both Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and the organization Shield in general are another big focus in the movie. The film does an excellent job at fleshing out the characters, particularly Steve Rogers, Black Widow and Nick Fury, and in doing so makes the viewer care about them in ways not seen before in any of the previous films. This is especially the case with the Black Widow, who we see more of and Nick Fury who tells about his grandfather who operated a elevator. The main villain of the movie alluded to in the movie title is The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), who is one of the best villains in a Marvel movie, so much so that he could become a fan favourite, like Loki. The Winter Soldier is menacing, intimidating and an unstoppable force. He has an air about him similar to the Terminator and the fact that he can go toe to toe with Captain America and be a major threat to him throughout the whole movie, is something special compared to other villains in movies, who are all talk but can't back it up. The fight choreography and action sequences were some of, if not the best, I've seen to date. The first battle between Captain America and The Winter Soldier on the highway is a clear highlight of the movie. The Winter Soldier gives Captain America a run for his money and was able to take on Captain America, Black Widow and Falcon at the same time without breaking a sweat. The same could be said for the CGI and effects which were stunning. There was not much hype for Captain American - The Winter Soldier, yet ironically it is the best Marvel Studios film released, far surpassing The Avengers, which will surprise people who haven't seen this film. I highly recommend this movie. Although you can watch it without seeing the first Captain America – The First Avenger, or The Avengers for full appreciation of the series I recommend that you view these first as you will get so much more out of the movie. Make sure to stay until the end of the movie, as there are two post credit scenes, one of which helps lead into The Avengers 2.",9 "Definitely love how this just jumps right into the conflict of the story, and I really like the character arcs made in this show, it makes em feel very fleshed out with multiple flaws and all. I also really like how they were very meta with Vought.",9 "It captured The Witcher Universe perfectly! As someone who has read the books and played the games, someone who is a fan of the lore, I am fully satisfied. Simply brilliant! 10/10",1 "One of the biggest rules in film is to create a meaningful and timeless script that isn't based on something that will be easily outdated. This is meant includes the visuals as well, so that the film you make withstands the test of time. Besides it's gorgeous (for its time) graphics, the film has really no substance and a heavy lack in research. First off, the film focuses mostly on its achievements in CG, which is impressive yes (which is why I give it +3 stars), however it will no doubt look fake to future audiences (as it already does to most visual effects editors nowadays). Think about the ""Neo vs 100 Agent Smiths"" from The Matrix Reloaded (2003) or really any scene. Looked good at the time, but looks fake now (really any CG from the film). Luckily it was the story that carried that film, not its graphics. There is nothing from Gravity that makes me want to ever rewatch it again (even though I did my duty as a reviewer and watched it twice). Second, it's attention to detail might help engage the viewer, but the unrealistic physics (how characters interact and the particles that hit the ISS), seemingly unexperienced astronauts and their lack in protocol, and their lack of an actual purpose for being outside of the ISS... Just ruins it. Finally, all of it together is kind of a slap in the face to real astronauts and gives a bad/false viewpoint of how astronauts would handle situations, makes them look unprofessional, and makes Sandra Bullock look like a fool instead of having someone powerful and experienced like the real life Peggy Whitson kicking ass and taking names. Instead we get to watch Sandra float around helplessly and cowardly for nearly the entire runtime of the film. I am starting to see a trend in Bullock's recent movies... Long winded, pretentious story, with an unrelatable character, and it ends anticlimactically. Some might think my review harsh, but as a filmmaker it shames me to know writer/directors get big budgets and huge name actors just to create a film that lacks in research, has no investment in its story, and doesn't really care about anything besides its CG appeal.",3 "This show is never ever a 8,2* series. I don't even think this deserves 5 stars. Hannah is just an annoying drama queen and instead of going straight she has to split the Story into 13 tapes? The way she is acting (personality not her acting skills) just makes me think no wonder you got bullied you stupid b*tch. I really really wanted to watch and like this because I wanted to understand the hype and was excited for a good new show but this was hard to watch and not rage. And wtf even more seasons coming? No thanks!",1 The Coen brothers' early films are all variants-usually comedic-on film noir. This is the most successful of their early efforts. In some ways it is a rather blunt in how it turns the style inside out. I.e. The negative space of typical noir is made white by setting the story in Minnesota or how basically every character is dumber than a bag of rocks. The film is highly enjoyable because of this quality. And if nothing else the film is always amusing.,10 "I knew it wasn't going to be good from what everyone has been saying about it on social media and the fact the whole movie has been made into a meme but I stayed hooked onto it so I could actually see for myself and sadly, I wish I hadn't. It really is as boring as people say it is, it's as overhyped and has literally no sustenance at all. Don't waste your time like I did, 2 hours of previous time you could do something with your life, please don't let it be this.",2 "It's a shame to see how the Marvel Universe is able to put on screen such propaganda. There is only one Captain America, and he doesn't fly nor has he a half hat.",1 "Veno really is a son of a b. He comes out of sitting near the closet swinging a cain at the north star. What you'll want to know: Taylor Swift is in this (hidden well). But im sure you can find her, only if you are a full on t swift fan though. Dont look for swift in this if youre only half reved. Not a cake walk.",7 "Truly, it is none of the above. A likable cast doing their best with mediocre material. Long, drawn out, repetitive fight scenes and boring tropes. And after dragging for 2 hours the characters make an intuitive leap that allows them to wrap up the entire movie in 15 minutes. Do not watch. Watch The Incredibles, again.",5 "Personally I think that this is the best movie Francis Ford Coppola has ever made. But I personally see the Godfather triology as ONE masterpiece. And I can honestly say that this is the best movie ever made when it comes to drama films. I mean this is the reason why I started to watch movies in the first place! The ONLY grade you can give this movie is 10/10!!! Anything under that is an act of war against REAL movie lovers. Sign: ZooR",10 "The stakes are so low during this waste of 6 hours that a boat not working competes with the main story and sometimes is more interesting. Just watch the first 20 min for the really cool action sequence, then Wikipedia the rest and go right to Loki.",4 "Most overrated film of 2017, Started off alright but story went all over the place and the ending was terrible. I don't understand how it has such great reviews but 2017 was pretty sad for new movies. It wasn't the worst movie I ever seen it had potential but terrible directing and writing.",3 "I'm rather surprised at all the negative reviews. I watched this show from beginning to end, binging it and wishing for more. Recently I started watching it again with my two young kids (10 and 7) and they both love it as well. The acting, direction and production values are top notch. Yes, it is action-driven, but in a very science oriented way. All the people on the show are super-smart and need to science their way out of jams. I loved ""The Martian"" so this aspect of the show was a plus for me. I also love a good villain and Dr. Smith is the epitome of a ""true neutral"" adversary - she only cares about herself and her only motivation is to survive and do what's best for her. Parker Posey is terrific and one of the more underrated aspects of this show. Yes, the constant roller coaster of problem after problem can be stressful to watch for some. And the family problems they all work through add to that. But to me this doesn't detract from a well constructed show with a cast that is throughly enjoyable to watch. Can't wait for Season 3.",9 Apart from episode 4 with Dr. Strange which was very good and maybe the last 2 episodes which were ok I can't think of any more. I did not have high expectations from this series and it was the most uninteresting for me of all that was announced. I can say that the animation is cool and the mentioned episodes but otherwise nothing special or even stupid and boring in some places.,6 "I very rarely write reviews. When I do, I try to be brutally honest. Sandler in a serious role? You've got to be joking I thought. I am more of a Colin Farrell type of humour guy myself, never thought Adam Sandler was funny much. As a person, he seems nice though but his humour is just not funny to me, only annoying. So again, in a serious role, really? No. No no no. It's not a serious role. It's not a thriller. There's just non-stop Adam Sandler, and he is just as annoying, loud and over-the-top goofy as he usually is, but then again - he probably is co-producing at the very least so I guess he could just steal 96,8% of all the screen time since he paid for it, right? Twice I tried watching this, this, I don't honestly know what it is, and I failed miserably. Suddenly just reached out and shut it off, couldn't take any more of it. Oh, I know what it is now! ITS A REGULAR ADAM SANDLER MOVIE! So, if you like it, want to like it, your partner maybe likes it, or if you just need to get really angry OR waste important life-time ticking, then by all means, go ahead. But if you are one of the above, or maybe you actually think Adam Sandler is a funny guy - that means you're a fanboy / fangirl - yeah then go ahead. I was going to give it two stars, but I add one for Julia Fox, poor woman who had to endure shooting this crap, as she is a very fine woman and has hereby done a great debut, although in completely the wrong movie IMO. Thats all!",3 "Those of you who find Fargo funny needs to get your heads checked. IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!- IT's so amazingly boring, the characters suck and don't make any sense. Is Macy's wife retarded for example? Are we supposed to take the movie seriously when it mixes tragedy with absurd and pointless dialog?? Soo bad it hurts - Can't believe it's on the top 250-list. Please stop holding this crap in such high regards. It's a bad old movie OK, let's move on already. Watch anything but this. REALLY, save your time and watch something funny like hot rod, or just have another go at gladiator or something.",1 """Where are we?"" ""At the spa (sarcastically). Where do you think?"" - Actual quote from the show. The rating keeps going lower with each episode. Horrible dialogue. They better find better writers for this show. For something supposed to be epic, it looks and sounds like show for teens.",5 "Genius and billionaire Tony Stark – aka Iron man- (Robert Downey, Jr) has his world turned upside down when arch enemy the Mandarin (looks like Osama you-know-who) blows his house up and he vows revenge. Apparently, candles don't work. I asked in Iron Man 2 review that we light a candle to insure there would be no Iron Man 3. And, here we are. Pity. I have concluded that the only reason to watch any Iron Man movie is to see the CGIs and they are spectacular. No doubt about it. The story? Forgetaboutit. Really sad. Where to begin, where to begin? Hmmm…….. Again, a lot of the dialogues appear to be dubbed in and you can tell that right off. The music is lame for such a big-time action movie. Tony Stark is out of the suit most of the movie trying to be a human action hero. Hey, we go to the Iron Man movie to see Iron Man and that involves him in the suit fighting injustice. We see his Iron Man suits (yes, suits plural) break into a million pieces like cheap china. We see Tony Stark having panic attacks. Say what ? The bad guy, Killian (Guy Pierce), gives Tony's girlfriend, Pepper (Gweneth Paltrow), super powers for a short time while Tony Stark watches in amazement. Say what? Tony Stark befriends a 12-year old boy and these scenes didn't make any sense. Attempts at humor fall flat. To be fair Guy Pierce as Killian and Ben Kingsley as Trevor did good. Downey also does good but then there's everything else within the movie that doesn't work. We watch a real mess. Again, go to the Iron Man movies only to see the CGIs. They are truly exceptional. Want to buy some candles? (4/10) Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: No.",4 "Season 3 isn't all bad. The show did get me to feel invested in seeing Ciri find her true self. But it is taking a long time. The monsters need to get a better agent or join a union. They barely get one monster per episode. I suppose it's understandable because I never feel any doubt that Geralt or Ciri will take down the monster. Season 3 attempts to step into the ""Game"" part of Game of Thrones and focus on politics. None of the characters seem clever enough to pull it off. I can't take my eyes off of Yennefer, and that doesn't hurt. I am intrigued by the different Mages. I find Triss interesting, and I would like to see her more in the story. Geralt, Jaskier, and the Elf Warrior played by Robbie Amell are the only male characters that are interesting to me. All of the other men are forgettable to me, including the fire villain, the Brotherhood people, the various kings and princes, and others I can't even remember. I read other reviews saying Geralt plays a secondary role in season 3. I agree. He does seem to be on the sidelines especially compared to season 1. I think the show got bogged down in the Ciri story. I would have had her find herself and control her power in season 2 so she could have more action sequences in season 3. Like Ciri, this show is having trouble finding itself. Is it an entertaining action show that doesn't require much thought? Or is it a character-based political drama interspersed with a great action sequence and amazing special effects like Game of Thrones? I would have suggested sticking to fun action with witty dialogue while adding more depth to the characters every season.",6 "This isn't a bad movie. It just isn't very good. It explores ground that Scorsese has been over and over and over - add a few more 'overs' - and that Francis Ford Coppola did first and best in 'Godfather'. De Niro and Pesci - both now in their late 70's - look mummified. Al Pacino doesn't look much better. The movie just plods and on and on - add a few more 'ons' - for 200 minutes, and then ends. The movie in my opinion is being praised for its credits, luminaries such as Scorsese, De Niro, etc. But the reality is the emperor does not have any clothes. It's just not a very good movie.",4 "How terrible is your imagination to make such a boring action movie? :))))..... why over 2 hours? For what ? Dialogue, texts even a 12 years child could do it better... i saw cartoons with better communication, this movie is for young 14 years old girls... who still wants to believe in blue skin :))))... bed time stories... After 1 hour the movie it's still boring... why ??? Most of the images are just copy paste from the first movie ... that's the last avatar movie for me ... can't believe you are going to do 2 more ... same bullsh..t like the family in fast and f..ed :))) 0 imagination, 0 creativity, Overload boring... be honest did you copied all texts from 10 movies and you made this movie on a toilet break?",2 "Watched ""COCKTAIL"". It is just awesome. Best COCKTAIL of script, direction and performance. A must watch. Hats off to Director Mr. Homi Adajaniya. He is fantabulous. Now I am dying to see his first movie BEING CYRUS. He should not have taken the break of six year after BEING CYRUS. Anyways, He has taken a mind blowing script to seventh sky. He just blended the actor and himself so well with script so it is very hard to believe that he has not written the script. Script by Mr. Imtiaz Ali and Sajid Ali is mind blowing. It is simply unbelievable. Music by Mr. Pritam is also good. Performance of debut ant Diana Penty is marvelous. She has a long way to go. Deepika Padukone is fantastic as usual. Saif Ali Khan's performance is speechless. Even in small roles but Boman Irani and Dimple Khanna are awesome. You can't feel that you are watching a film. simply you will witness their life. After very long time a have watched a movie which I would love to watch repeatedly. Waiting for DVD of this movie to release so I can feel proud to have it. Go and watch friends. You will also like to watch it again and again. Youngsters will like it like mad.",10 "If you cant fall to sleep at night, just watch this new series of the one who wrote the last 8 episodes of the worst show ever. Its worse than expected and looks like a low budget serie... dont waste your time. 4 for showing breasts.",4 "Sequels never usually measure up to the standards of their predecessors. However, Kung Fu Panda 2 is an exception, not only is as good as the first film, it's even better. This is what I would call a perfect film, from the beginning to the end. A strong factor of the film is that they have continued the story instead of rehashing it. For example, Po is still likable but has developed in his Kung Fu, while the Five and Shifu have grown to respect and care about Po and not just making fun of him. There is an introduction of new likable characters such as the wise soothsayer or the humorous Master Croc(voiced by martial arts icon Jean Claude Van Damme). In the first film I felt the villain (Tai Lung) was cool but Garry Oldman's Lord Shen is quite the opposite. He has the right balance of malice and humor that in my opinion puts him on the same levels of animated villains such as Scar, Shere Khan or Gaston. The animation and action were both superb while Hans Zimmer and John Powell combined to make one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard. Overall, Kung Fu Panda 2 is not only an animated masterpiece but is also one of my favorite films of all time. Kung Fu Panda 2 has the right balance of humor, drama, action, suspense and warmth that make it what I consider to be a perfect film.",10 "With a direct representation of what's happening in the world today woven into this digital beauty, they really had a chance to tell a more thought provoking story. Humans mining the earth and robbing it of it's resources for profit and people starting to look at ancient native wisdom for answers, They had a chance to rewrite this current story with in-depth characters and a progressive narrative. Instead what was delivered was a recycled cliché action movie that's been done over and over and over again! Snore! They didn't even bother giving the bad guys a look in, they were just simply there to fill in the space and eventually be killed. It was hopelessly boring and predictable, the only thing that held it up was the fact it looked astounding. Unfortunately for Avatar there's an impeccably high level of writing available in abundance through the median that is tv shows, audiences have a high standard now with so much amazing entertainment available. Let's hope they do better on the next one.",4 "No comments here on the story because I did not really find an original one. It is not worth giving spoilers because it spoils itself without any help. I have to agree with reviewer suppoost's review titled ""Why."" I would love to hear the answers to those questions because I had most of them pop up while trying to slog through this movie. So much hype for a movie that wasted two great stars. But money is money and always will be so we can't blame Bullock or Malkovich for making a ""living."" But come on! All y'all are rich enough already that you don't have to be part of this, do you? The claim by some who have giving high marks that this is a star studded cast made me almost spew coffee out my nose when I read it. Hardly is a cast with two A list well known actors qualify a movie as star studded. No, very few of the actors are actually stars, though they are trying to be. Couple that with Netflix trying to claim some kind of ratings record (other than for themselves) against those who attend the theaters, pay money and sit through a film the overall marketing of this movie is a joke. Yes, all these opinions are my own and not claimed to be for anyone else.",3 "I tried watching this two times and didn't get very far both times. It was trying to be quirky. I felt like I was watching some weird dollhouse production. I loved Margot Robbie in I, Tonya and she is a great actress but this movie didn't even tap her potential since the plotline is so weak. It was not funny. It was not even a movie for kids. The costumes and sets were good. But that's about it. The movie didn't have a plot to keep me engaged to watch the whole thing. Very plastic is the only way to describe it. The movie making criteria has gone down so much, it is terrible that this got nominated for an Academy.",2 "Wel my 1st Choice for this years national award goes to Paan singh Tomar. but no disrespect to Gangs of Wasseypur. These 2 movies have set New Benchmark for the Upcoming movies, this surely will stop the trend of Watching crappy Emotional love stories in Bollywood.

I didn't particularly like any of the characters either, and I found Daniel Craig's accent a bit distracting. Stick with Poirot!",5 "Some humor is welcome in a superhero movie, but TR is so determined to ladle out the yuks that it too often forgets to be a superhero movie. Thor as a wimp afraid to get a haircut? Give me a break. I sometimes felt like I was watching he modern Marvel equivalent of an Abbott and Costello parody of the genre. Of course it has some spectacular images, as one would expect with so much CGI being thrown around. The Jeff Goldblum character was annoying instead of funny. Why are modern filmmakers so determine to undermine heroes and destroy things that belong to them?",4 "What started out as an interesting movie idea to me became a struggle to watch until its completion. Kate Winslet plays kind of a freaky girl - quite a departure from what you're used to if you saw her in Titanic or Sense and Sensibility. Jim Carrey plays a very dark depressed and sad individual - even sadder than the role he played in Cable Guy. The movie is hard to follow, starting out at what you think is the beginning, only to be shifted and twisted down a disjointed and confusing path. You really don't get the feeling that the two main characters have any chemistry between them at all. In order to enjoy a movie, you really have to care about the main characters and what happens to them. Carrey's character comes off as desperate and sad and Kate Winslet's character comes off like a crazy witch with a capital B - I started not to care whether they got back together or not within minutes of watching. Suffice it to say, this is a good movie if you rent it and drop acid before watching - other then that it must be avoided...",1 "Forget this movie, its not even worth reviewing. Its very sad that people have to do a campaign to push their movie in the Oscars. Is it the country of freedom? or the country of marketing? Yey,,,,who has the best salespeople wins.

Poorly written, completely lacking the charm of the previous seasons. And then there was that annoying kid. That's how you can turn something great into something ridiculous, like Matrix 4.",6 "With its amazing 80s atmosphere and creepy X-files meets E.T feel this show is set to impress. Within its first 8 minutes of run time I could tell I had found something special here in Stranger Things. Its intriguing story gives information at a great pace and I never felt myself getting confused of bored and there were enough twists or turns to keep me interested. This also had some rather great horror sequences and their use of lights flickering while yes a common trope fit so well in to the story I was on the edge of my seat every time the crackle of electricity shot through my speakers and the lights flickered. The characters of the show are the true stars here, I loved every single one of them. They were all great with amazingly interesting flaws and the way they mix and clash with one another was fun to see unfold. They certainly help to carry this show although I would say that the government antagonists of the show felt a little flat and under developed and not nearly as memorable. Production values are also quite good with some beautiful cinematography, editing, lighting and sound. My goodness I loved their music choices. I would say that the CGI does look a little obvious and from time to time I did notice some issues where the scenes didn't look quite up to scratch. I do think however I've been spoiled for visual quality since Game of Thrones so I would take that criticism with a grain of salt because it certainly didn't detract from the overall experience. The setting and style of everything in the locations where also great to see and felt real and interesting. The way everything was shot also captures every moment expertly and really helps to draw out those story moments with greater emotion. Stranger Things is one of those special shows that I stumbled across and after the opening I knew I was hooked. Its exciting dark tale is expertly woven through its 8 episode run time and I know I will be back to re-watch this one. The ending is fairly well rapped up with a few loose story threads left hanging, with a promise for potential follow on seasons but the story is quite satisfyingly rapped up by the end. Memorable, exciting, dark and haunting Netflix knocks Stranger Things out of the park, 10/10.",9 "La primera temporada sin dudas te tiene atrapado en tu asiento, diciendo "" que carajos es esto"", claro lo dices en el buen sentido, después ves la 2 y 3 y dices ""que carajos es esto"" en el mal sentido, por suerte supieron remontar con una 4, llegaron un otro lado y funcionó.",5 "Everything about this show screams art, poetry and beauty. The cinematography, the dialogue, the metaphors, everything are so gracefully executed. I've never indulged in gory shows but this is an exception. The cast is spectacular and the decision to go with Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal is the best decision one could ever made.",10 "I found this movie to be full of enjoyable twists & turns. It's a great spy-mystery. A movie I could watch more than once. Coogan",9 "This movie starts out like being thrown from a moving car. No character development just faces thrown at you. Music is terrible 70's sci-fi synthesizer with no real music value just trying to build more drama. Any movie that throws a compound break spurting blood in the first 60 seconds just screams lack of thoughtful plot development. And from this you know how the movie will end. Completely predictable tragedies with several missed opportunities to actually thrill the audience. Kevin Garnet's acting was as painful as Napoleon Dynamite. I kept waiting for Adam to scream ""Abie Doobie"". He has other movies like Spanglish where he is developed and other characters compliment his development. This was not that kind of movie. Random violence. Unbelievable situations and lack of normal reaction from characters was just annoying. Every plot twist was so predictable it became and layers deep you knew what was coming next. Again as a comedy this might have worked. The end of the movie was like ""screw it"" let's end the movie in 5 minutes cause 120 is just too long. Stolen themes: Live Die in LA Oceans 12 Everyone in the theater was in the same disbelieve this made it through the editor.",2 "I was looking forward for this series, but really disappointed about it. i mean everything is terrible. only the cgi effects are good for a series. acting is terrible, and im sorry for Toby, i really enjoyed his performace on Black Sails, plot, the other actors bad performance. will be surprised if there will be a second season.",4 "Pretty slow and meandering, leading to just about nothing. There are some fun scenes and a bits and pieces. It's all really just a bit random and forced though. If people are saying this is any kind of artistic masterpiece then that's emperor's new clothes.",6 I really try to like this movie. it's painful to watch. it will leave you feel frustrated than entertained. it supposed to be a science fiction movie but too many plot holes. All the characters ignoring common knowledge. The whole family is arrogant spoilt brats. self interest. showing off. The family is THE Antagonists in this show. In season 2 i would rather watch hiroki or victor family,3 "I can't deny it ... I'm an avid Quentin Tarantino admirer, and I will probably always remain an avid Quentin Tarantino admirer. The man simply is a genius when it comes down to writing dazzling dialogues, getting the most out of stellar ensemble casts and depicting extreme but delirious violence. QT also always was the only director of whom I tolerated exaggeratedly long movies. ""Pulp Fiction"", ""Kill Bill"", ""Inglorious Bastards"", etc, it never bothered me that they lasted two and a half hours. But since, say, ""Django Unchained"", I'm noticing an increasingly worrying trend when I watch his newest movies. They are getting too long and far too tedious. They are generally still fine films, but when re-watching, I find myself fast-forwarding the overlong dialogues and only focusing on the violent parts. In case of ""Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"", I'm afraid I'll be skipping the full first two hours! It's interesting to watch once, perhaps, but the fan-boy fantasy tale of ""Hollywood in the Sixties"" that Tarantino penned down is honestly quite dull, repetitive and substantially void. It's literally just endlessly long sequences of Leonardi DiCaprio (a washed-up TV-western idol from the 50s) rehearsing his lines for a new show, Brad Pitt (an unemployed stunt double) feeding his dog and cruising around LA to pick up young hippie girls, and Margot Robbie (as Sharon Tate) parading around town and looking at herself on the big screen. You probably read it before in other reviews, but it's a sad truth: absolutely nothing interesting happens, and some sequences - notably when Brad Pitt ""trespasses"" into the hippie trailer park - are even downright pathetic. The last forty minutes are fabulous, though. You may regain consciousness as soon as you see the message ""6 months later"" appear on the screen. As an enormous fan of Italian exploitation of the sixties & seventies, I really adored how Tarantino sent DiCaprio's actor character to Rome and star in exhilarating trash titles like ""Nebraska Jim"", ""Shoot Ringo, said the Gringo"" or ""Operazione Dyn-O-Mite!"". When returning to their home in the Hollywood Hills, they are confronted with members of the notorious Manson Family that are out to kill Sharon Tate and her friends, but Quentin Tarantino gives history a sort of absurdly cool twist. The climax isn't so surprising or innovative if you have seen ""Inglourious Bastards"", but at least it finally provides the movie with what I had desperately been anticipating for more than two hours: sick, extreme and unhinged violence!",5 "I was so hyped this movie. The story, actors,70's theme and of course the director Quentin Tarantino in a tarantino movie, sometimes story move on so slow, characters, they stories introduces the audience and most important it has a Breaking Point. I wait wait and wait.. For what? 25 minutes cheap fight. Total disappointing for me.. And may I ask what is the main idea of this film? I understood that if this is a 70s documentary instead of a tarantino movie. Perhaps I missed something IDN but all I know is this movie a huge waste of time. I gave 6 because in my opinion best thing in the movie is Brad Pitt. Thanks for read.",6 "On of the most cliché movies i've ever seen , very overrated , and very predictable, Bradley Cooper was somehow good , and Lady Gaga wasn't bad for her first movie , but the movie's story line is very poor , I think I would loved it if it was 2008.",5 "Christopher Nolan's 'Inception' often gets a mention in many 'best films of all time' lists, despite the fact that this is probably one of the least rewarding and most pointless films I've ever watched. It spends the whole of its bloated two-and-a-half hour running length trying to prove how intellectually superior it is, yet requires the characters to spell out virtually every development of the ridiculously messy and convoluted plot. An intentionally complex and non-linear storyline is not smart, but pretentious filmmaking. What exactly is the point in such a bewildering minefield of a plot in which the ending presents more questions than the start? The only reason I can think of is to satisfy the ego of those who like to think of themselves as smarter than they actually are. 'Inception' is one of the most overhyped, overrated and pretentious films I've ever seen.",4 "Well I'm still waiting for this show to pick up but so far it's really boring and the characters pretty bland. The actors are no where near as good as in the original show. I hope it picks up as I like the universe. The music is great and the technical aspect is also pretty great. The story so far fails to engage me in anyway and I don't really root for any of the characters as I did on the original show. I will keep watching as I hope it will pick up in either this season or the next. Matt Smith who plays Daymon Targaryen is the most solid actor so far on the show but comparing it with the original show it still falls short IMO. We'll see where the show goes...",3 "I was really hoping Marvel got into a groove, and one could hold them to a somewhat of a standard for sci-fi entertainment. This was really disappointing. All the plot holes, bad dialogue, lousy comedy, no chemistry between characters, forced interactions.. A child would find this movie frustrating.. If you came to watch this movie based on your last few experiances with the Infinity War, Endgame, Ragnarok, you'll too be disappointed. But you should definetly watch it, so you can appreciate a good movie more.",4 "This is actually a lot better than I thought it would be.........apart from the singing. The similarities to Game of Thrones are unavoidable but the plots are thankfully different, excellent special effects.",7 Im a huge fan of bewitched and other old sitcoms but this had none of the magic they had. All it did was bore me stupid until I ended up scrolling twitter as it was more interesting. I might just catch whatever the secret of whatever is happening on youtube and save myself the boredom. I'm a huge marvel fan but boy have they failed here,1 "The problem with crime movies based on true events is that there's rarely any coherent story arc to be found in the real world. There's always a beginning, certainly, sometimes even a sensible progression from one elemental plot point to another, and if we're lucky, there's even an ending. The thing that bothers Zodiac and so many other films is the fact that the opposite also holds true. Quite often crimes go unpunished. Sometimes we are left hanging in empty air, with no paths left to search and investigate. And that hanging is extremely frustrating and, in my opinion, doesn't make for a good story. A story is all about fiction. It's about forming a whole story, one that has something to tell to its viewers/listeners/observers. A story without a satisfying ending is rarely worth telling. And yet I wouldn't call Zodiac a bad movie, even though its ending leaves something to be desired. David Fincher is a talented director and I see in this film many of the same elements that made Se7en such a great film. The same gritty film noir style, the same hopeless determination that drives the protagonists forward, the same brutality in showing the murder victims. Unfortunately this movie lacks the extraordinary qualities of Se7en. The Zodiac killer is a shocking figure to be sure, but the movie portrays him as a stumbling character with luck on his side. There's no tension, drama or fear-filled awe to be found in him. It's a shame really. This movie had the potential to be great. The actors work, the directing work, the filming and editing work. All these individual aspects of a movie work. It's just the real-life story and its limitations that keep the movie back. Now it's just slow and at times rather boring film that leaves its viewers unsatisfied and disappointed. If you can deal with its limitations, this movie is a great piece of crime drama. If you can't... need I say any more.",4 "This is the kind of cockpit footage you can get in real training and the theatre of war shown in many documentaries. Top Gun Maverick like Mission Impossible is strictly a money making venture; it has little entertainment or informational value and bears little resemblance to actual military activities. Fact: non-military personnel are NOT permitted to fly military assets. Tom Cruise was NOT sitting in the cockpit flying these aircraft as it appears in the movie! He sat in the back mugging the camera. You're better off watching the TV series Seal Team which at least includes some actual Seal members and a well informed and accurately written script. So, it's a Tom Cruise vehicle, people, little more. Set aside your TC idol worship and this is at best a movie about an unreal military operation with zero chances of success, until of course, the hero of the day comes out of retirement (unbelievably) and sucks up camera time. Kelly McGillis avoided this stinker, but Jennifer Connelly took the big money. Even the cameo from Val Kilner is dubbed as he is unable to speak. Did you wonder why Cruise, sitting thoughtfully speaking to the camera introduces the movie? Why is he out of character? This never happens at the beginning of a movie, right? He knew this was not a great movie and wanted, disengenuously, to thank you for donating to his production company and ingratiates himself to win you over. Did you think he really gives a s*** about your loyalty to sit through his movie? There are fine films out there that sometimes go wanting, that tell great stories and can be truly entertaining without insulting history, science, facts, or you, and it is a shame that their production companies cannot afford multi-million dollar advertising campaigns to promote quality film-making... and that truly is a shame. You as a viewer have to seek out hidden gems (and there are plenty) and support them. And every time you pay to see mega dollars being spent on TC closeups and totally unrealistic action scenes, you contribute to the making of further productions of this kind of chest-beating, Ra Ra, bomb-the-bad-guy-in-some-rogue-state mentality. Don't spend your post COVID money on this nonsense. And remember the ratings for this movie come from two main sources: young minds who are yet unable to see how transparent this movie is, and two, millions of dollars spent on promotion saturating TV, and print media extolling the virtues of the next fantastic TC movie (read: hundreds of millions spent, must be good, need to recoup investment). Update: I continue to see advertising and reviews (from paid experts) saying this picture is Cruise piloting a jet. HE DID NOT! Whatever camera trick they used, he's sitting in back of the pilot. Civilians are never permitted in the pilot seat of a military aircraft. You are being lied to to squeeze yet more revenue from this phony movie. In addition to him not piloting the aircraft (which he never comes clean on) he's a lousy actor. How many academy awards or awards of any kind does he have for acting? None. He just makes a ton of money promoting himself and his production company - he laughs all the way to the bank. Sorta like casino operators watching hordes of addicted gamblers throwing their money away in their establishments. Additionally the premise it absurd. Many REAL pilots have gone on record stating the stunts shown in the movie are impossible to carry out; they are just testosterone on steroids with no physical reality for the pilot (who would black out) and the aircraft (which would likely self-destruct); just eye candy. Expensive movies have massive advertising budgets to bring in an audience that will believe anything they're shown. Don't give in to Tom Cruise superhero worship. Like Trump who has gotten rich grifting the American public by saying the election was stolen, Cruise has a powerful economic machine behind him that inflates reality and plasters the airwaves with advertising to recoop the millions spent on the movie. Cruise wants to conquer the cinematic world with help from money grabbing Hollywood execs. Keep this in mind when scrutinizing the next Cruise ""blockbuster"".",4 "I loved The Lion King when I was young and was very excited to see this and how disappointed I was. I knew the story would be basically the same but was hoping for some changes along the way but it's identical. However doing the same story is one thing but it is 95% the same script! I knew most of the lines before they were spoken. It's simply a graphical update on the original and not a reimagining at all. Very dull. I'll stick to the original.",3 Really good series regsetrtheegwger heheths teht dj rtj rt jred,5 "In my opinion, this movie certainly has many positives but unfortunately has also has many negatives. To start off the original story was both remarkable and compelling. There was plenty of material there to work from without much need for embellishment. Overall the acting throughout the film was generally quite good especially the acting of Chiwetal Ejiofor. I thought his performance in many ways kept the movie grounded and more realistically compelling. I also thought the cinematography and period set designs were also very good. On the other hand there were several aspects of the film that for me just didn't work well which is why I could not rate the movie any higher than I did. Steve McQueen may end of being a great director but I feel he is just too reliant on gimmicks and cliché directorial techniques. For example, some the flash-back, flash-forward segments were confusing and unnecessary, especially the micro back and forth scenes where he was actually being abducted. I don't know what point he was trying to make there at a time when the continuity of the scene should have been clear and instead was unnecessarily fragmented and confusing. Use of the long drawn out face shots and close-ups also seemed pointless and just served to slow the pace of the film down. There were also just too many things in the movie that were not explained either at all or well enough. Examples of such are: where did Brad Pitt's character come from? He just all of the sudden was there with very little if any character background information or purpose. The time element was also blurred. The film's title implied that this all took place over 12 years. You never got the feeling that 12 years had passed. The main characters appearance didn't seem to change much if at all until makeup people sprinkled some Gray dust on Solomon's head at very end. There are other examples. I thought Michael Fassbender's portrayal of a lunatic plantation owner was way over the top as the character would have more likely been committed to an insane asylum than a owner of a working farm. The score by Hans Zimmer seemed rather strange at times as well. I am a big Hans Zimmer fan but there were moments where I felt the music would have been more appropriate for War of the Worlds than for 12 Years a Slave. I also felt that some of the costumes were a bit over the top and too formal. In summary, I think the film would have much better if the director would have just gotten out of the way and let the very compelling and tragic story and great actors carry the load.",7 "First 2 episodes I was thinking what the hells going on then it kicks in and it gets well good. Loved it, great storyline too.👍🏻",8 "Simply an overhyped film that was average at best. Not showing the monsters or whatever you want to call them at least once or twice makes it feel lazy and like they ran out of budget. Acting isn't bad, it doesn't have a cheap Netflix film look at all but it falls flat and leaves a lot of unanswered questions. Maybe setting up spinoffs or sequels? This just seems like a lazy film that had a lot of potential. Not terrible but not good. 5 out of 10 is pretty generous but Sandra Bullock really carries it to a five single handily in my opinion",5 "I really loved the first Knives Out. I love a murder mystery. But they really butchered this one towards the 2/3 mark through the movie. I was quite engaged for most of it. However, the way they diminished their main villain by saying he is stupid without letting the audience figure it out at all was pretty anti climatic. The characters are quite interesting at times, the back stories support the main plot within reason. But in the end it feels like daniel craig has done all of the thinking for us, unlike the original. Where their were crumbs of evidence and it was quite fun to play the guessing game. Who dunnit? Not terrible, but has some average writing in parts and plot holes.",6 "I'm surprised this is being rated so highly on IMDb, the show is watchable but has some serious issues. The quality is Very inconsistent where you have certain scenes really well done in terms of lighting and cinematography and others look unfinished and done amaturely. Acting can be good in some scenes and horribly awkward in others. The dialogue strong in some scenes and suddenly changes into something out of a teenage high school drama. Some dialogue choices are extremely poor And awkward I cannot emphasise this more, also Henry Cavill does a poor job delivering the F word everything he's in trouble feels so out of places. You suddenly hear out of place cringe dialogue that kicks you out of the immersion. The characters also don't have any unique personality since their character personality are all over the place without being consistent The accents keep changing from Old English to modern to American to Irish to whatever, actors unable to keep a consistent accent. Casting is also inconsistent where Henry seems to be a good choice but many other characters for example Triss is portrayed by a horribly looking actress who looks like she is a crazed homeless hippy, Triss is actually an extremely beautiful red haired sorceress. In some scenes Yennefer is extremely beautiful as she should be and in others her makeup, clothing m and lighting is so off she looks like she looks nasty, in some scenes Henry Cavill looks rugged, bad ass and awesome and in others you can clearly see the fake wig and cheap looking costume, again very inconsistent quality of work. The soundtrack in some cases is well done but in many fails to capture the Slavic Dark medieval themes of the Witcher. There also seems to be a lot and a lot of scenes with dancing in the courts like a lot of it! The creators seem to think that's something that needs to be shown a lot The writing and story is poor but watchable. It's very unfortunate that this series was given to a team of writers and creators who have no interest and no background with the Witcher, I think Henry ""likes"" the games but that's not enough. A team who really cared would have insured every little detail of this show is done to perfection, Look at the quality done by HBO with GOT and anything they touch. Witcher has potential to be the best and most watched show Netflix ever had",5 "This movie is meant for those who love to see without using brain and heart, You'll ask yourself ""Is it the same Cameroon, whom we know???"" and most of all, the story deals with, not another planet yet an Indian Tribal Village, and that what they call ""Navi"" are the Naxalists of it, for those who don't know, are some sort of terrorist, what takes a revolutionist kind of approach to make it happen, so nothing new for me in the story, So can say Cameroon to plagiarize it ?? The 2 score is only given to the feel what sometimes occurs to see the jungle, Nothing else....",2 It's another decent origin story in an era of great origin stories. This would have blown me away of I hadn't seen a dozen others like it over the last 7 years. I think I've officoally had it with superhero movies. If you're still into them you'll like it okay.,5 "I finally finished the first episode after three sessions. The writers clearly have no idea how to create engaging characters, be they protagonists or antagonists. I'll probably walk away from this show. Maybe it will get better and I'll revisit down the road. It's funny that The Boys was able to establish immediate chemistry and believability among its characters. Gen V's actors just seem to be going through the motions. There is no subtlety or nuance in the portrayals. It's like the writers/directors are working from a checklist and just plugging in a formula. Hopefully, Amazon does a better job protecting its other sci fi/fantasy universes.",3 "How John Wick started off and what has become of it now, is a sheer disappointment. This last episode is nothing but complete utter continuous boring firing sequences that make no sense at all. I kept forwarding hoping to find some story , some twists or something to give me a reason why many had given it a rating of more than 7. This last movie has badly failed by all standards. I wonder how so much money is spent on these type of movies yet no one has any brain to raise any flags. Seems, everyone involved in making these type of movies is only bothered to make their buck and go home. For sure, this was the last one for me. Done and dusted for John Wick....",2 "I can't wait for season 2 to be filmed and aired. That's how much I loved it!!! Vampires, witches, demons, mistery, romance.. wow!!!",10 "First episode reminds me of my high school life. So I tried to remember how I was in high school. But I couldn't remember anything, anything at all except some disturbing memory that I am ashamed of. And I remembered some of my class mates but it wasn't even one third. I couldn't remember because something is wrong with my memory that it erases so much that I passed. High school is the most vital part for every student. You get to decide what you want to do with your future. In that part I wasn't so serious. For that I had to fight so much hard to be in passion. But still I am in no passion but I am fighting for it. And I am worried about the future fight. Because my base isn't like it should be. High school gave me some experience that there was no alternative for those experience to get. But it cost me my future. I could have been batter without those shitty experience. Whatever it's too late to realize. About the series, 13 or 13 billion reasons can't be an excuse for suicide. Everyone has so much reasons for giving up about so many things. But you can't or shouldn't give up. That is what a true human being does. Suicide is always shame for the soul. I think this series is the most learn able series for those who are in high school or in the same age and flustered about their life.",7 "So I can skip it and save some money. The plot in this show was lacking in momentum and anything of interest. Every episode dragged, and frankly, the female villain was 1,000x more likable and interesting than Falcon or WS. There was a ""twist"" at the end the was the tiniest bit intriguing, but not enough to warrant watching this snooze fest. If you really want to know ask someone who already suffered through it and unwittingly took one for the team. If future films/shows of Capt America follow this show's example, the franchise should be ended before it can further ruin the Capt America brand.",1 "Iron Man caught me by surprise when It hit theatres back in 2008. Heading in I was thinking how the hell are they going to pull this off. Iron Man ended up being one of the best comic book movies ever, and it was only a matter of time for a sequel. Iron Man 2 is not as good as the original, but it is still a great film and should stand on it's own. We get to see a different side of Tony Stark as he spiral's out of control. We also get to see more interaction between himself and Nick Fury who made an appearance after the credits of the original. The action sequences in Iron Man 2 are spectacular and are a work of art. I was really impressed with the special effect's used especially in the final scenes. The camera angles during the flying sequences were handled very well. Robert Downy's portrayal of Tony Stark is one of a kind and awesome. I don't think anyone could've been able to play Tony Stark as well as Robert Downy which is impressive. Mickey Rourke had me convinced he was really Russian. His performance as Ivan Vanko was Great. He had a creepy vibe going for his character which really added to the plot. Scarlett Johansson blended in really well as ""the Black Widow"". Her fight scenes were pretty damn good. Sam Rockwell in my opinion stole the show. He was hilarious throughout as Tony Stark's rival ""Justin Hammer"". He had some good one liners and his interaction with Ivan were awkward and funny. I was hoping for Terence Howard to reprise his role as colonel Rhodes but Don Cheadle did a great job as a replacement, so that did not bother me as much. The original Iron Man will be hard to beat as the bar was set so high, however for a sequel, Iron Man 2 is a great follow up. I felt that the action sequences were a lot better compared to the original, It's weakness was the storyline and plot which at times seemed clustered and can confuse you. Still, those little problems did not hinder my enjoyment and I thought Iron Man 2 was solid followup to the original. 7.0/10",7 "Loose movie with a great Ledger. Not as good as the first one. Too long and complicated, tries to say too much. It's two movies in one, really.",5 "It should've been Bullshit. Mr. Nolan honestly, your trilogy is 'the Bullshit Begins', 'the Bullshit' and now 'the Bullshit rises'. Enough has been said already so I'll not continue because I hope Tim Burton's hired pack of ninjas already know where you live and are out to get you anytime now. The one single thought which The Dark Knight Rises has provoked: There was one way to totally save the movie and make it awesome. Batman flies his super space-ship with the nuke tied to it into the ocean, but just as he's about to close his eyes and finally die he looks down and sees a flock of ducks swimming in the water underneath him. Batman don't drop a bomb on no ducks! He flies into a safer spot and explodes. This Mr. Nolan would've proved you'd actually seen some batman before taking money for the atrocities you made us all watch. Thank you. Please don't make the next one four hours long. Pretty please.",2 Not value for time waste. Fantsasy No story line You can predict what's is going to happen,1 I didn't make it through first season. Just a bunch of product placement. Nice photography sometimes. Generally - meaningless. ugly children All the way,2 "To sum it up in one word: disappointing. Bad start, Good episodes in between and a horrible ending.",2 "This was compelling enough but if you strip away the novelty (how most of our behavior is recorded today by some digital means or another) it's not much of a story. You can tell who the prime suspect should be right away and the red herrings are fairly obvious. If you relax and let yourself not overthink the story, you will enjoy it. The novelty of all the sites, channels, accounts, and found (online) footage was certainly interesting to a degree, but at times it seemed like a research project I had to endure. But my biggest problem was the acting. The minor roles took it downhill: work colleagues, the 911 operator, the piano teacher, some of the students...many sounded very ""Law and Order"" with the overacting and over-articulation, especially the voice-only roles. John Cho as the father was earnest enough, but he didn't exactly set the screen ablaze. Ditto Debra Messing. But it may have been their characters, neither of which was written to allow even the suggestion of a smile to appear across their faces, because, y'know, people in serious situations are not allowed to smile, lest it confuse the audience. Sara Sohn, however, as Pam, was excellent. The sheer number of ""555"" telephone numbers was also a buzzkill. One instance of the old, safe 555 number takes you out of a movie, momentarily, but having an abundance of them nearly launches you permanently out of the mood. People get so many obtrusive calls from telemarketers and scammers today, I hardly think that someone calling a telephone number because they see it in a movie is going to cause much of a ripple. Dumb practice that should be retired.",6 Worth watching. Just watch it. Too good. And Vicky Kaushal I love you 😍,9 "I came into this movie with high expectations. As a child growing up in the US during the 2000s, I witnessed firsthand the country-wide anti-Islam movement that proceeded 9/11. Here was a movie that sets out to demonstrate that not all Muslims are bad people. Which I wholeheartedly agree with. However, I feel the makers of this movie weren't very creative or original in telling this fictional story. The protagonist, Khan (played by Shah Rukh Khan) is an Indian man of Muslim faith who has Asperger's syndrome. He has immigrated to San Francisco (pre-9/11) in hopes of a better life. After September 11, he and his family experience the backlash of the consequential anti-Muslim sentiments throughout the country. Khan sets out to meet the president and tell him he is not a terrorist. Khan bears resemblance to the character Forrest Gump. In fact, many parts of this movie feel borrowed from the movie Forrest Gump. Khan travels a lot in his pursuit to meet the president. While Khan never accomplishes anything quite as farfetched as Forrest, the filmmakers are overly optimistic about what Khan is able to do, making him out to be an ""unlikely hero"" much like Forrest. One of the things I really disagree with about this movie is the ""black and white"" classification of people. Khan's mom teaches him as a kid that there are ""good people"" and ""bad people"" in the world. This simply isn't true. Good people can do bad things and bad people can do good things. To take things a step further, this ""black and white"" dichotomy is reflected in race in this movie. White people in general are shown as racists. This is taken to the extreme in the cringeworthy scenes of Khan dealing with authority figures, where we as the audience are supposed to feel bad for Khan for being discriminated against and abused by white officials. Black people and people of color in general, on the other hand, are shown as angels who have never done anything bad in their lives. I understand that Black people in the US have historically been marginalized by society. Khan's solidarity with the Black community at the end of the movie is symbolic of how the Muslim community also became marginalized after 9/11. However, the way Black people are displayed is very stereotypical and one-dimensional. Khan's relationship with his wife Mandira (played by Kajol) feels forced. At no point is Mandira, a strong female character, explored. Her backstory is only ever briefly alluded to. She and Khan fall in love way too quickly. She just serves as Khan's ""love at first sight"" stereotypical romantic interest who worries about him because of his disability. In conclusion, this movie fell way short of my expectations. It was way too long, not to mention overly optimistic and farfetched. It may be one of the most predictable movies I've ever seen. I saw the ending coming a mile away. It isn't fair in making white people out as villains to prove the point that not all Muslims are bad people. Perhaps really the only thing I like about this movie is the Bollywood-style music. As a white person, I don't know what it feels like to be a Muslim in the US in a post-9/11 world. But I feel this movie completely blows things out of proportion.",3 "Let's get one thing straight; I really enjoyed the first film. Solid 9 out of 10. Plot, character development, story and purpose plus the action. Chapter 2 however was devoid of anything other than the mono-paced murder fest. There was nothing else. How it rates at 7.5 is way beyond me. Two hours that I won't get back. Shan't bother watching the 3rd episode...",2 "I personally preferred infinity wars. This movies was so preditable and had so much feminist propaganda that it didn't feel natural at all. A balanced group of characters usually goes best. There was some funny moments to be fair and some few action scenes, but in general this movies just feels very commercial and does not manage to get my attention at any moment. The vilains were not great either!",4 "Greetings from Lithuania. ""The Fabelmans"" (2022) is a movie about early years of life of Steven Spielberg. Arguably the best director of all time or at least one of the most infuentual people in movie buissines basically has made a movie about himself. I loved how honest and simple this film is. Performances by everyone were amazing and dialogs as well screenplay was very good. This movie was interested enough and the whole 2 h 30 min did not drag (maybe here and there) and its fascinating story about this boys life and liked seeing his love and passion for movies and especially for moviemaking. Overall, ""The Fabelmans"" is a very good coming of age drama. Its a great biopic as well.",8 It's pathetic. Expections always high but they deliver poor storyline.,8 "I just finished watching this movie, prior to watching it I looked at the scores it received on multiple sites as well as a variety of reviews and went into the movie with an open mind. This film lacked character development as my number one gripe. Secondly, the format of beginning with the present and using flashbacks through a majority of the movie spoiled it within the first few minutes. The concept of a mysterious ""thing"" causing mass suicides would make a bigger impact if the characters had been properly developed. Since you have no emotional attachment to a majority of the characters their deaths just add to the body count. I also feel that Sandra Bullock's character wasn't consistent in her personality. Yes, I understand that she changes as the story progresses but I'm talking about her attitude changing from scene to scene making it unclear where her character's head was during a majority of this movie. I definitely wouldn't suggest this film to anyone.",3 "Captain America Civil War is the thirteenth film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, with a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. In Captain America: Civil War, disagreement over international oversight of the Avengers fractures them into opposing factions - one led by Steve Rogers and the other by Tony Stark. Civil War is definitely one of the best Marvel movies to date, and absolutely on par with The Winter Soldier which was also great. They are both on top in the Marvel Cinematic Movies ranking of mine so far. The conflict between these well beloved characters is done in a brilliant and fantastic way by the amazing Russo brothers who took the cheese out of the first Captain America movie , made one serious and great second movie, and build upon them both with the third outing. Everyone does a great job here, Chris Evans has made Captain America his own same as Robert Downey Jr for Iron Man. It features a very big ensemble cast and not one of them is anything less than great on the role. The fight scenes are also some of the best ever made in a comic book movie, even better than in The Winter Soldier. Especially the airport scene is just mesmerizing and totally stands out from everything else that's going on. Spider-Man is also unbelievably well done and Tom Holland is just fantastic. I am one of the few people who actually loved The Amazing Spider Man movies, and really got mad to hear that they are going to reboot the character again but I can see now that it was worth it. The visuals are great from beginning to end, the music is also good as usual. The villain is something that most people though it was the weakest point but I strongly disagree with that. He had reasoning as to why he is doing those things, and he pushes the other characters in new directions which is also necessary. I generally adored this movie, and even though I am a DC fan, there's just no denying that Marvel knows what they're doing and that is why they are much more successful right now.",10 "The story is not original, but at least is interesting and the concept is good. Although has not many connections with the old Lost in Space, still could be something to watch with fun and stuck with it. BUT...... the script is soooooo awful it makes you wonder. Its not bad that they writers of the series made men seem stupid and women be in the lead. Its not bad that they are many cheesy dialogues and not direct things. The really bad is the story line and the actions of the characters. I managed to watch all Season 1 and in every episode i was... ""Why??? , Really??? , Why they stop fighting and talking? , Why they dont see the obvious? "" and many other questions that made me feel like its a low IQ show. And most of the things happens for no reason and others just with ""magic"". The acting is decent. I disagree that people dont like Dr. Smith cause she is a character that you have to hate. And she manages great. The kids acting best they can according to the scenario. Its not the actors fault that the script is sooo bad. I like the flashbacks to get the story of its character but its an old trick and could be done in a better way. Conclusion: change writers and the show can be great.",5 "S1 and S2 : Masterpiece. S3 : Cringe fest. Doesn't feel like stranger things at all. And first 2 episodes are fillers. Everything was comedy with very little thrill, horror & darkness. Hoping they'll stop milking this franchise now because we don't need another cringy season. If you are a kid or watching with your kids you'll like this predictable and poorly writing season. PS- Those saying it's 10/10 are same people who liked GOT season finale. Maybe not a 4/10 but definitely not a 10/10. Instead of watching this overhyped show go watch Netflix gem ""Dark"".",4 "So. It started good with episode one. An interesting terms and conditions/supercomputer story. After that I'm not even sure what I'm watching. Black Mirror was good because of the ideas it presented.

I found most of the episodes quite frankly dull and uninteresting. -- So. It started good with episode one. An interesting terms and conditions/supercomputer story.

If you know nothing about Russia - better not pick such themes: it's not necessary to say to the whole world that you're so prejudiced and ignorant,1 "Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is clearly the least of the whole Marvel pack so far. It tries very hard to recreate the joyful nonsense of the first volume, but fails consistently, rather targeting one-off jokes than investing in its characters that jump, fall and evade bombs, bullets and lasers like Tom and Jerry in space, with no sense of tread whatsoever. Star-Lord himself, while still central to the ""plot"", seems strangely impersonal, dutifully reacting to events around him rather than guiding the action. The movie takes forever to end and offers no surprises on the way. At the end you realize that it has all been nothing but a setup for the next volume, like a cut from an endless Marvel sausage, served shinier than ever but with not much taste.",4 In this story the 'Iron man' is back and and a new enemy is getting ready to attack. Now again the Iron man with his friend should defend to protect his country. I think this movie is better than the first part. This movie has very good story. I think this movie was funny than the first part. I am very eager to watch the third part. I think everyone should go for it. i suggest everyone to watch this awesome movie.,10 "A timely, entertaining and relevant piece of film-making. Very easy on the eye and fantastic ensemble. There were lags yes and possibly a tad overlong but I enjoyed it overall and as I say a very relevant message in exposing the ever-present threat to democracy. Some stylistic parallels with the Budapest hotel I thought and really struggling to say much more but now I am trapped in the six hundred character loop of this review app and loathe to break out of it now I've come this far but, oh no, I've just seen that the counter at the top is counting down and not up and i have to keep going like a demon until i reach that minimum. Phew!",8 "Poor casting decisions, the storyline is a little tired - there really is nothing special about this new series that the initial GOT had. I would have liked to see them explore the land behind the wall, introduce a new family and their story - something other than a gothic inspired Succession re-tread.... glad so many other reviewers liked it, but I'm out.",1 "This movie excels both as a comic book movie, and a sequel. It's definitely one of the best comic book movies of all time (although I don't think anything will be able to beat X2 and the first two Batman movies). Not only is it an excellent sequel (which isn't that common to begin with), it's also one of those rare sequels that is actually better than the first film (other examples are Aliens, Terminator 2 and X2). Almost everything in this film is better than in the original Spider-Man. I'll start with the most significant example: the characters. The character development in this movie is absolutely fantastic, easily comparable to the X-Men movies. It's never been easier to identify with Peter Parker. I've always wondered how super-heroes managed to balance their real lives and their super-hero lives like it seems that they do. Spider-Man 2 shows us that it's not as simple as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Clark Kent/Superman make it seem. In fact, Peter Parker struggles so hard to maintain both his real life and his crime fighting life, eventually he gives in and realizes that he has to choose one path or the other (he realizes this with the help of a wonderful speech from Aunt May (Rosemary Harris)). Mary Jane's character is also much deeper than it was in the first film. While it may seem that she's given up on Peter and found love somewhere else, the truth is far from that. Not only is she not sure if she still loves Peter or not, it's also apparent that she still hasn't forgotten that one kiss she shared with Spider-Man in the first film. Alfred Molina's character, Doctor Octavius (or Doc Ock), is one of the most believable villains in any movie. His character is completely three-dimensional, something relatively rare for an on-screen villain. We can see exactly where he's coming from, why he does the things he does. He's not the usual two-dimensional villain, who is just there to oppose the hero. The only other villain as three-dimensional as Doctor Octopus, off the top of my head, is Bill in Kill Bill (although there are no doubt many others like this). The action and CGI has improved tremendously since the first film. While the CGI in the original Spider-Man was always a bit iffy in my eyes, they've clearly done a much better job. The combination of real footage and CGI is almost unnoticeable, and it's virtually impossible to tell the difference between the CGI Spider-Man and the real Spider-Man costume (except that the CGI Spider-Man does things that Tobey Maguire would never be able to do). Doc Ock's tentacles definitely stand out as an amazing CGI achievement in this film. They look excellent. The action is stunning. While, for an action film, the action is relatively scarce, when it kicks in, it does it magnificently. Spider-Man's fight with Doctor Octopus on the train is one of the most exciting and amazingly executed action scenes I've seen (not comparable to the action in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or in The Matrix Reloaded, but it's close). Sam Raimi, director, does an absolutely brilliant job. His intentionally corny approach is what really stands out in this film – it never really takes itself too seriously. He also uses some low budget b-movie trademarks, such as quick zooms and corny one-liners. While some people don't like this approach, I thought it was brilliant. Raimi returns to his roots (in a way) with his directing style. His style of shooting is very reminiscent to his earlier films in the Evil Dead series. One of the most significant examples of this is the scene with Dr. Octopus in the hospital room, which was absolutely brilliant. The camera angles, and some of the elements (such as the nurse scraping the floor with her fingernails), are pure Evil Dead. There were all sorts of little bits and details, really tiny ones, that made the particular scene they were in worthwhile. For instance, the lady playing the violin in the street is singing the theme song to the original Spider-Man cartoon from the '60s. Another great reference was in the hospital room scene. While the entire sequence is reminiscent of The Evil Dead, the shot of the hand on the floor still holding the chainsaw is an obvious reference to an identical shot in The Evil Dead II. Brilliant. To sum it all up, this movie is a superb improvement on the first film (which was excellent, don't get me wrong). Sam Raimi clearly focused more on the story and the characters this time, which was wonderful. Unfortunately, some things could have still been worked on. For instance, the general structure of the film is very reminiscent of the sequels to other comic book movies, namely Superman II and Batman Returns (the whole 'abandoning the hero role' thing). And still, while it's also an extremely entertaining flick, Spider-Man 2 has much more behind it than just crowd-pleasing. It's definitely one of the best movies of the year so far, but we have yet to see what the second half of 2004 has in store for us. Recommended for anyone, even people who aren't into the whole comic book movie scene.",8 There is a lot going on but it is a hard film to understand. The plot is all over the place not a joyable film but the fantastic creatures were good themselves.,4 "So I downloaded and watch this film called BirdBox aka the Happening 2, and I can safely say that I was not impressed. Literally it's a happening of a alien life force that is destroying mankind, thru gazing upon, what you never see or never know exactly what it is, because the story never divulges that premise of what is causing the occurrence (very nonsensical) and Bullock and her child and the child of the another women who fell under the happening (which causes when looked upon, alters a person's perception and hence, they end their own lives) dies and Bullock and the children now have to survive by seeking refuge at a place where they must travel to, against all sorts of hostel elements, to reach their destination. This story is doable, but the script is so similar to the Happening, which I found non impressive as well. I watched it and deleted it, because it was a film, I would never watch again, unlike the films in my enormous film library that I watch over again that are highly enjoyable.",3 "A brilliantly constructed, complete story has been massacred by the scriptwriters. I am a Pole, so I am not entirely objective, but the series is fine in terms of acting (Geralt, Jaskier, Yennefer played very well), the locations are also excellent, but the story makes no sense. And Miss Ciri needs gymnastic training, she has excellent physical conditions but lacks coordination. I have no illusions that the fans' opinion will be heard, but the series bored me. The best part was the first episode.",7 "As a lot of fans, I eagerly awaited the new HBO product, and the disappointment was momentous: 3 years of silence to come out, in a climate of great expectation, with such a story really leaves one perplexed and disappointed. After the first two episodes, slow but quite interesting, nothing works: the plot is poor and revolves around incoherent characters. GoT had delivered a spectacular beginning that immediately started with action and then warped a rich plot of power and intrigue. This House of Dragons moves awkwardly, unconvincing in its events and predictable plots, bad copies of GoT. The casting choices are questionable to say the least, as is the script, which seems to be written by different people who, let's face it, don't even know the craft of writing very well. There is no sex, no intrigue, no character to get attached to and one to hate. In short, the series is tepid, tasteless soup aping GoT. The characters are all poised as if waiting for something to come into action, something that never comes: an ""interrupted coitus"" of acting. They look like pawns on a chessboard forgotten in the attic. Every episode of House of the Dragon is a wait for something that does not come, every episode finale is a landing in a grey desert. Kudos to HBO: if you wanted to destroy a myth, you have succeeded with extraordinary efficiency.",3 "I give up on Disney. They had an opportunity to make more quality Marvel magic and instead they choose to alienate half their fan base. And they aren't even subtle about it. Between overly promoting BLM, opening the borders, and misleading poverty issues, Disney showed they just want to poison young minds with a Democratic agenda. It's out of hand. Cancel Disney Plus.",2 "I was really disappointed in this film and I honestly dont get all the 10/10 scores. The acting was good, but the dialogue was mind numbing to the point I almost fell asleep. I get what it was about but I didnt find it very funny or heartwarming or any of the other thing others thought of it. I really wanted to like it but ultimately, didnt.",5 "Film is not entertaining at all, just a flop crab. Not sure, what they were trying to show in almost 3 hours wasted watching it. No story line at all, scenes are unnecessarily lengthen just to add time. Unnecessary dialogs and unrelatrd sequences. Unrelated plots. Only reason I watched it was high IMDB rating but I highly regretted my decision. Extremely bad language has been used throughout the film without having additional impact. Contrary to many reviews, comedy and humor including is also very low graded. Actings are just normal. Highly recommended to avoid it and save your precious time.",4 "The queens gambit is based on a book tutned into a miniseries about beth, a nine year old orphan who befriends the janitor and learns how to play chess exceptionally well. There are a few dumb scenes like here gobbling down the pills and her dancing around for no absoloute reason but, the story and acting of beth and the rest of the cast especially dudley dursley is so good This was a no spoiler review so it is short but you can still watch this if you dont know about chess although you wouldbenjoy it even more if you like chess.",8 "Honestly wanted to give this a chance. Sometimes the writing is inept. It's constant little things where you're left questioning why they did this. Why that. Almost every episode is basically a huge problem that's usually predictable and constant action/issues lead to piss poor character development. I've stopped and started this series five times already, each time saying meh. Maybe it will get better. And it doesn't. Catch a scene. Predict what the worst case situation might be, be correct it's going to happen, then right into the next useless issue. Skip this",2 "Finally got to see Fantastic Beasts last night as the new releases haven't quite reached our multiplex yet. Had a feeling that this film was mainly aimed at children and that was certainly confirmed. The stars of the film are undoubtedly the fantastic beasts. Even Eddie Redmayne as Newt is very much the supporting actor to the beasts. Fairly certain that this is exactly the way the kids will like it and quite sure that the 7-13 year olds will love it. The romantic tension between Newt and Tina was also completely lacking and again very much aimed for the younger audience. The script and story play second fiddle to the fantastic beasts, but there's always something interesting going on, so it's fairly entertaining. The people who have been brought up on Harry Potter may also enjoy the film as there are the occasional Hogarts references scattered through the film.",5 "Lazy, facsimile of decent past comics, films and TV. Emotionally void, annoying with silly plot twists and general ideas. We have seen this melange many times in much more honest forms. This is cynical and and worse a rip off of better fare... Avoid.",3 Is a very famous movie Not likely to disappoint this size. Or maybe just want to launch a new ghost But use other naming movie instead of better.,2 "Just give it 2-3 episodes,then forget about every thing else .Just sit back enjoy",10 Henry Cavill deserves better. Netflix is syfy channel bad.,1 "I really enjoyed this little thing! It is silly, kitschy as hell - BUT! Definitely FUN! Entertaining! Dare I say, perhaps Even... Thought provoking? It IS a ""Pink strawberry bubblegum"" version of ""Social commentary"" and perhaps even a bit of gender role Stereotypes criticism? Margot Robbie is excellent and Ryan Reynolds is good in their respective roles! The scenography, music and filming is excellent! I Would be surprised if this film does not reel in a couple of awards! I would truly enjoy watching THIS together with some children and young people and hear what they say about it! AND I would feel totally comfortable with that they would have a good time without being overwhelmed! I myself actually found the gender Stereotypes social commentary interesting and perhaps even, dare I say a bit thought provoking and inspiring! IS this a ""GREAT FILM""? - NO. BUT! IT IS FUN, Entertaining and good fun for the head! I CAN EASILY with good conscience recommend this film as fun entertainment! A Kitchy, plasticky pastiche - without becoming annoying, tiresome or boring! .",7 Terrible movie. Seemed like it was never going to end. Too much shouting and no real story line.,3 "This is a binge watching material. The series is thrilling, engaging and have a lot of mysteries packed in it-yet to reveal i guess Big fan of TV/Netflix series these days spend more time watching them than any movies. But it was a disappointment for me that being an Indian- I couldnt watch any top notch series as that part of our Industry is mostly avoidable and low quality stuff -But we do make movies that of a world class appeal though.. Anyway since I've watched Sacred Games, now we do have a series that can attract audience from any part of the world-Sacred Games is so good Hopefully this is a stepping stone for a lot better to come..Cant wait for next season Also do watch Mirzapur, Breathe, Kallachirippu- These are really good Indian series",9 "This is a truly frightening movie that highlights what happens when government, media and education all espouse the same message and squash all thoughtful and reasoned dissent",8 "So I was lucky enough to snag some TIFF peoples choice awards tickets and saw a showing of this film and... I have a lot of thoughts. It's an insanely thought provoking movie of the treatment of black stories in Hollywood and in novelizations, but it also talks about the categorization of Black People in the Caucasian perspective. I thought the actual direction and acting were very good throughout the film (not Oscar worthy but good), but i found the actual screenplay to not go as deep as it needed to, nor did it try too hard with the substance when it comes in context to the shapement of Black voices in a Caucasian-driven hollywood. It was a good movie, don't get me wrong- but the two other programs i saw at TIFF i thought were far superior.",7 I dont know why netflix always use abusive words when they dub anything in hindi. It does not make the movie interesting it just makes it very difficult to watch on tv without headphones. They should stop doing that if they want more audience.,1 "I changed the channel after 40 minutes. I could not do it. I just could not do it. The film is pretty much a 2 hour screensaver. No real plot, no character development, no real dialogue. I am not sure what Nolan was trying to do. My guess is that he was trolling us with a bad film because someone forced him to do a war movie.",2 "No matter the structure and details are not rigorous enough, but the good thing is that the atmosphere is well constructed and the visual impression is good. The performances of several children are also quite vivid and nostalgic.",7 "Eventhough you know the story from the beginning and there is no suspense what the end will be like,the atmosphere and the exact period footprint makes the series amazing to watch.",9 "Don't get me wrong, this could've been better but when compared to the first film it miles above it. I actually can't wait to see how the story will continue.",8 "A true lesson in how to make a great sequel. Al Pacino leads another great cast to movie magic. Any aspiring actors want to see acting at it's finest just watch ""The Godfather"" films. And it was great to see Sonny Corleone (James Caan) in this film albeit a brief flashback. 10/10",10 "Ever wonder why shows like this wait until season 2 to get political? It's because people only review the first season. Season one is genuinely fun. As Amazon demonstrates time and time again, they make amazing live action versions of other people's stories, so long as they don't try to do any writing on their own. The not-so-subtle comparisons between the superhero industry and Hollywood are really on point. Great action, and some serious tension. Season two felt like a different writing team. Lots of (now past) current events crammed in everywhere, lots of group stereotyping, and generally just a lot less world building and character development. There was some good action and a few twists here and there, but mostly just came across as preachy and dated watching this in late 2021. Season 3 is more of what we saw in season 2, but worse. The few decent characters are constantly emasculated, and the writers seem to think that gore and sex acts are a fair substitute for humor and tension. Season 1 gets 8 stars. Season 2 gets 3 stars. Season 3 gets 2 stars 3 stars overall because I take personal offense to the deliberate bait-and-switch by the producers/writers.",3 "You won't feel bored for a moment. If you want some chill, just watch this.",9 "It was as expected, a Harry Potter ""type"" format. Biggest thing it lacked was action. Wasted a lot of time trying to get to the point and when they did the action was lack luster.",5 "I actually enjoyed this film the first time I saw it, but then I saw it a second time after listening to all the comments about how brilliant this film must be and how we must all worship it. I've never walked out on a film before, and that even includes Battlefield Earth and Wing Commander, but I walked out in the middle of trying to watch this one again. I've never seen a film that people try so hard to make out to be so much more than it really is. The worst part is the obssessive cult that has formed up around the film, telling us how great and visionary the directors are and how we should all worship them and blah blah blah... Well gang, like the Region Coding Enhancement scheme, time and people's patience is going to catch up with this dreary film, and the results are going to leave the makers very red-faced. Just about every concept in this film is stolen, poorly executed, or both. I still laugh my guts out when Morpheus tries to tell us how human bodies produce so much energy when they consume at least that much in a day. Any nutritionist worth their salt could tell you that. The division of a digital future between evil robots and kind-hearted human beings was also done far better in Tron. And the sloppy use of the Christ Theme as a plot device doesn't even bear thinking about. When I first saw the film, I had never laughed so hard in my life. When I saw it on DVD, I'd never felt so insulted. Never have I seen a production crew with such over-inflated ideas about their achievements. The characters are just plain boring, too. Keanu Reeves has all the acting ability of a stuffed toy, and yet he is the most interesting thing in the film. That's a worrying sign. Morpheus was all poses and zero credibility, Agent Smith was just an insult, and Trinity had to be one of the least watchable romantic interests since Teri Hatcher's awful performance in Tomorrow Never Dies. And was this film trying hard for some kind of record in speaking ****? Well, guess what? Their efforts succeeded big-time. Every man and his dog seems to be going on about how much better this film was than the last episode of Star Wars, but it is really more on a level with Star Trek. Frankly, if this is the future of science fiction films, then I will happily stick with my copy of Plan 9 From Outer Space. At least Ed Wood had sincere intentions of a variety other than ripping off an army of suckers when he made that piece of ****! Zero stars. And don't blame anyone other than yourselves, Matrix fans, because this film is now the celluoid answer to MTV through your efforts.",2 "When you first see this Tv show on social media you may think that it is childish and is a comedy. However this Tv Show has a mix of raw emotions which perfectly portray the side of realism and the side of a pure hearted childish character in the real world. The main character as well as side character development are out of this world. There is no character that i would change in terms of personality. The script voice acting as well as world building are perfect. This Tv Show is one which i believe cannot be beat by any other in terms of storytelling and fighting. If you want a Tv Show that has everything from emotionally sad moments to moments of drama and happiness. I believe that this tv show is suitable for every single age possible and should not be overlooked for the fact that it is animated.",10 I gave 10 stars but I wish to gave 100/10 to this masterpiece movie,10 "Even if you are watching this not for Defenders or other connected series , still this connects and represents the heroism very well. And the character if Matt Murdock is fabulously adopted and shown. This kind of Supes will make your experience better. His house , his love life, his history and villain everything is at its best. And Villain, Wilson Fisk.... wooohh...The attitude, style and perfection will never make you regret of watching this. And The costume of Daredevil since the episode 1 to the end is something different and makes the series more better over a time.",9 "Spider-Man 2 picks up where the original film left off, this time showing the more difficult hardships of being a superhero. Standing in the way is Dr. Otto Octavius(Doc Ock) a brilliant scientist whose fusion experiment goes awry at a demonstration Peter attends. The story, and characters are fleshed out more this time out, as well as the effects. Kirsten Dunst is more convincing as MJ, she seemed a little flat in the role last time. Here she, like the rest of the cast, do a convincing job. The top performance has to go to Alfred Molina. In the short screen time Otto has before he becomes a diabolical powerhouse supervillain, he is an endearing, likable person. Spider-Man 2 also offers more confidence in it's story telling. The ""raindrops"" sequence is an evident example. Not afraid to go full nine, this movie is the definitive comic book movie, possessing action, drama, comedy, and message(without being too preachy). Director Sam Raimi and crew really nailed it this time around. Be sure to check out comic artist Alex Ross' paintings spliced in the opening credits, entailing the events of the first film. A great opening to a great film.",10 "I can't believe these other positive reviews are they for real? I feel like I'm reading the onion. This movie should have been great but it is too long. For context, I'm a fan of history and WWII, but this was difficult to follow. The storyline is convoluted with too many plot lines. It desperately needed to be edited and the movie felt endless after a while. I felt like I was kidnapped in that theater. On the plus side, the visual effects were great as was the use of sound and music. Some of the flashbacks were nice as were the various images of neurons and atoms. The acting was okay, but certainly not good enough to relieve the tedium of this movie. I'm mostly disappointed because of all the hype surrounding this movie and that I bought into it. I guess people are supportive of Hollywood given all the strikes, but the product is just so poor. With all these great TV shows around, Hollywood is just irrelevant. I mean in an age of smartphones and swipes, who thinks a three hour movie is going to work? Then there is the gratuitous nudity (another Hollywood staple) that seemed unnecessary early on in the movie but two hours later when they threw it in again for no reason I understood why. I can believe this has an 8/10 of here. Either they bought bots to write these reviews or they rounded up the staff to write excellent reviews. This movie sucked. Best part was that I got $6 bucks off the ticket.",2 "I'll give you the special effects are great but this movie is overhyped. I looked at my timer and it was at the 42 minute mark and the majority of the movie up to that point was clunky exposition. Other than a few good fight scenes and some killer special effects, one could easily draw a conclusion that the matrix was merely at the right place at the right time.",2 ... by Jennifer Lawrence. She absolutely owned her part. She makes all the difference here. Solid acting by all but she just steals the show. The intrigue generated in the movie is average. Not many plot changes you don't see coming. All in all a better spy movie than most.,8 "The first thing I want to do is explain how much I really wanted to like this movie. However, that was not the case. For the first time in about 5 years, I almost walked out of the movie theater. What prevented This was the fact that I was on a double date, and I did not want to make my friends upset. They should've just made a remake, and changed key plot points. The story could not have been more ridiculous. At one point, I actually thought I was watching a parody. As opposed to point out my problems with everything about it, le me simply state, It is a bad movie.",2 "Visually absolutely stunning, breathtaking and technically perfect. As far as story goes is nothing more than a ripoff of 1957 ""Call Me Joe"" science fiction novel by Poul Anderson with added elements from Pocahontas and Dancing with the Wolves. Cameron added nothing new to above stories unfortunately, making the entire spectacle mindbogglingly unoriginal. Undoubtedly an achievement in CGI film making but nothing more.",3 "What a movie man, what a movie!!! Was waiting for the movie since long and guess what?? Awesome!! Lots of love to Charlie and the entire team of 777 Charlie for such a wonderful movie. Loved it!!!",10 "Just like Hollywood has a fetish of portraying the US as the good guys through their cinema, bollywood has the same disorder from time to time with much worse graphics and excessive ketchup. Some compare this movie to border which was a massive hit only in India like fifty years back, I totally agree with them. Its just a modern version of that movie only an Indian will appreciate and understand.",1 "Not a Harry Potter fan but I do like these movies that are prior to that, this was more fluid and more about relationships which I liked with more action and good set pieces with twists in the story, I felt engaged .. good watch",7 "Well made and certainly hits the late sixties vibe, but it takes a long while for the story to get anywhere.",6 "Absolutely rubbish piece of work, no story and marvel factor. Please do not embarrass yourself my making movies like these. Folks avoid this movie, better watch it over OTT in few months. MCU is not made to make a crap movie like this one.",2 "I was 12 when the original came out, and ever since then, it's been one of my favorites. I was very excited about this live action remake, but I didn't feel the magic I felt with the original. It's visually stunning, but that's about it. Just watch the original, it's 100 times better. I wish Disney would stop this live action remake trend they are currently pushing.",4 "Series 2 got strange but series 3 what a shambles, weve gone from the actual 13 reasons why part too a load of rubbish, dont bother with a season 4, load tut",6 "The only good thing about this movie is that it had decent suspense and humour and acting was good enough. Though it's not unique as many movies like this have been made earlier, showing 3-4 guys and their stories and how their stories cross meet in between. They just added the ludo game concept in their stories to make it look different.",6 "Firstly, there is no proper story line ..... just taking a boy meet girl story and putting it in a historical backdrop doesn't make sense at all .... specially when it is not authentic at all ... its predictable and boring ..... more so because of the constant Urdu dialogs which was hard to comprehend ..... many people are saying that the fight sequence portrayed are good but its not worth it ... when you are portraying a vicious battle a little more gore is expected ... not pushing each other and making them fall to the ground ... thats bogus .... i liked the other films of AG they were good ... but this one is worthless ... the only good thing about the movie is aishwarya her ... acting is really good ... hrithik looks misplaced .... and he is often out of sorts if the role doesn't demand his dancing skills ... so it was expected .... if you do want to watch it ... go with your friends and chat your way ... through the movie .. because what happening on screen will not appeal you at all ... for such a stupendously bad story the movie is painfully long ... on the bright side it gives you a lot of time to talk with your friends ..... and carry some medication it might help .. u may need it ... good luck ...",2 Must watch in theatre. Easily can compete with any Hollywood movies.. Gibran's music is mesmerising throughout. I have never seen such a best movie anytime before. Kudos to the entire Team.,10 "The cast is wonderful, each character is charming in their own way and the plot is really intriguing! This show might be thrilling but it's also funny and wholesome at times. I was hooked from episode one, and the following seasons did not disappoint. Honestly do not get all the complaints about season 3, I mean it was entertaining and the plot was interesting, really loved the character development as well! This is more than a scary story, by now I'd say viewers are invested in these characters, so it was nice to watch them grow and face challenges other than supernatural entities. Definitely worth the watch!",9 "So far it has 7.5 stars, but the majority of people on social media call it boring and confusing. Same here, its a dull fest, actually that boring I'd rather watch Downton Abbey. Just because Marvel release a show, doesn't mean its automatically brilliant, none of the Marvel shows have been good except What If!. The rest have been tedious and feel like I need to watch otherwise I'll miss the bigger picture. But moon knight I'll pass episode 4 onwards.",2 "If it's a standalone movie,cool. I dig that. But after watching the ending credits,slipping in stuff I did not grow up with I don't dig it, uncool. Movie was good. I would even like a sequel and if that doesn't mean a SpiderMan I grew up with, make the Venom/Carnage movie one I might've read. But if it means one without out Peter Parker count me out. Like'd the movie however the ending credits, what I look forward to next, ruins it all. I enjoy a storyline that keeps going. ie...MCU (Marvel cinematic Universe and it storyline) Eddy Brock was great tho.",5 "I have enjoyed all of the marvel and DC based shows.....until now. I thought the Ben Afleck Daredevil was bad but this is just painful. I cant help but wonder if the good reviews are for arrow or the flash and left here by mistake , its just bad. I started this after I finished the new episodes of agents of shield , flash , gotham , and the arrow , after the others I had great hopes for Daredevil but after 2 episodes I almost wish I was blind.........and deaf. This show might be good some day as rifftrax or mst3k fodder if mst3k comes back but as a stand alone show it does not cut it. If I can not an alternative I may be forced to actually start reading books.",2 "Well, sure, if you think that ridiculousy potent and deep plots can be designed for a bit of spare change. You could listen to this movie on the radio and it would still be awesome.",10 "I personally really enjoyed avatar (2009), whilst the story wasn't the most original, it made up for it with a good cast and great VFX. This movie is a stain on that movie and James Cameron's career as a whole. The action scenes are way too fast, like the audience is supposed to have the attention span of a haddock. Throughout the movie the special effects were laughably low-quality, it felt like I was watching a cutscene for a cheap xbox 360 game. The story was moderately original this time but the characters were so unlikeable including Jake sully who just came off as unbearable jerk. I gave the film 2 stars as the only character who wasn't cocky, arrogant or annoying was Sigourney weavers kiri, she had a pretty decent subplot and was one of the only characters I liked. My opinion. Just save your cash and rent the first one on amazon.",2 What is in the film multiverse jumping somewhere and anywhere Little bit comedy Over highly rated Confusing scenes Lengthy Action scenes are nice Nothing more to hype or overate the movie.,4 "I would have give a 9 to the story, acting, concept and everything else. Only the end made me rate it to a 7. A very engaging story right from the trailer. After watching the trailer I am sure all would have been very excited and wanting to watxh the movie but the end certainly disappoints.",7 Its all about revenge. There are some good scenes about patriotism. Its more like a sentimental movie About son loving his father. A father loving her daughter. There is comdey.There is romance. There is love There r action episodes everything needed for a movie ! But The story is Nothing new (just patriotism concept is different) we have seen them in many movies. Mixed bag with enough quotient of Elements that satisfy Audience. I expected more. Sharukh is too good Susmita sen provides glamour quotient for the movie but she appears later in The film. Locations and songs are okay. Watch it.,7 "Just read novels by Andrzej Sapkowski. And leave this sh**. Weak perfomance, terrible script, no reason, no logic, terrible dialogues, completle diffrent than the source material, complete diffrent heroes, no world building. Whatever this show is, its in 100% not a Witcher. Its a shame to waste such perfect oportunity to make a great and fantastic show! Same..",1 "Hateful characters, APPALLING acting, weak script and no story. Decent sound track. 10 episodes? Haha haha no.",1 "Honestly I loved it. The colors were brilliant. The usage of popular artists and actors as really well done. All of the characters were brilliantly casted. The it was intriguing, and generally attriactive for both young and mature audiences. I think because of this though, it just didn't hit as hard for me. The messages within the movie were quite profound, and many of my friends ended up emotional due to its relatability and the fact that nothing actually changed at the end. Good overall, stellar for younger audiences, and would 100% recommend to a younger child. Not my color palette, so it was a bit bright. Not riveting. Just good.",7 Everything runs so smooth and as artistic as it gets that makes the viewer no longer care about what's the story. It touches upon true events and characters and let's the audience figure it out. The cast is amazing and the director is showing off their full range of acting ability in a very entertaining and exciting manner. Overall it's a beautiful artwork and there was never a dull moment watching it but we have to keep open minds watching it and should be placed amongst the classical works of Wes Anderson and others that focus mainly on the beauty of the shots and the charm of the cinema in its fundamental essence.,8 "This film starts with a great promise. We follow a musician and an aspiring actress who meet and fall in love in Los Angeles. The film's title is a reference both to a nickname for the city of Los Angeles and to the idiom for being out of touch with reality. But where it fails it all the rest. The movie is well acted no doubt, but the subject, you care less and less. And even if you want to, this film is a 90 minutes romantic comedy that turns out to be 130... even Woody Allen will think it's too much, i want the shorter version. I was bored to death and i'm a huge fan of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone Work... here I try, but can't ! It's just too long !",2 "This is a highly acclaimed movie and I can't say I understand why. The main character Marta has a rare vomiting condition that seems a little odd and could actually have been used by the police at the beginning of the film to get the whole story. I have no idea why Marta would trust Ransom (Chris Evans) when he shows up. The story begins with setting up some of the characters as possible suspects (Don Johnson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette), and then resolves them pretty quickly after that, so what was the point of having these red herrings? Pretty well everyone in the family is unlikeable. I think morphine hits you pretty quickly so when Christopher Plummer is still on his feet a few minutes later, wouldn't they figure things out? Daniel Craig's accent seemed to come and go; I thought that would be a plot twist at the end... I liked the cinematography...",3 I really enjoyed this movie and the effort and hard work it must have taken for some of the scenes......I like the outer space element but it was predictable and didn't look realistic. Bullock's characters fear seems to lighten quickly considering her predicament. And the lines were a bit weak but for some reason despite all that I was totally taken in and liked it overall. Maybe I'm just to big a Bullock fan. I think seeing it in 3D would help the film but a bit of help with the lines would really improve this more. Clooneys lines as well. The overall effect was awe and amazement at the thought of actually being lost in space but as the movie went on my enthusiasm lessened. As did its believability. And predictability. Bullock was the only saving grace. Seeing her float around in a spacesuit is worth the price of admission.,6 "This is very strange because I accidentally watched the movie in an unpopular TV network. Ya know the movie is to be looked like it happens in 80s , but I just could easily guess the exact Year the movie was made in ! I don't know why but when you're a fan of movies you can easily guess what year actually the movie is made in. I think this is a talent which just gets through your mind .",7 "It started slow with not much promise and still went downhill. All the drama seems manufactured in a writing room as opposed to some sort of realism that transpires through the screen. Also, Ellen Page isn't suited for the role. It was nearly unbearable to watch this show.",2 "A contemporary ""remake"" of Devdas called ""Dev.D"" (get the joke??)? Throw in a continually fornicating Devdas, Paro, and westernized Leni/Chandramukhi teen prostitute (never mind the extremely shallow ""westerners = overly sexualized"" stereotype for now) and add a few topical references to make the audience feel like the story is ""really contemporary""….. Mix in boring acting and silly dialogues (check out the ""art"" in this line: ""You're right, I am a sl*t."") And forget about a director actually wasting his (or her) time trying to write (or film) an ending. Who needs one anyway? What remains? At least there were some very cool and authentic car and truck horns on the sound effects track. Is this really the kind of shallow and utterly stereotyped ""art"" film-making that we have to look forward to from multiplex-obsessed ""New Hindi Cinema"" filmmakers (and I do not mean SRK or AK)? Thanks but no thanks.",1 "Don't get me wrong I love how they did Carnage he looked amazing. I loved how they gave more personality to Venom. But they should've made it rated R. We should've seen more of how crazy psychotic and bloody just like the comic books. This was for little kids. There is too many slapstick jokes. The plot was too short. It just really wasn't the comic books that I really enjoyed reading and that's how I found love with Venom in the first place. Redo it and make it rated R.",4 Like watching someone read a list of all the other films you could be watching instead while leaning on an arcade cabinet and stroking his walkman.,5 "Judging this film solely on its entertainment value and in comparison to other films in the MCU and you'll see it's barely serviceable. Black Panther himself was a complete bore. Almost nothing the guy did got a reaction out of me. I was looking forward to Michael B Jordan's performance and I was so disappointed. It was totally one note and uninspired. The CGI was terrible as well. Watching Black Panther jump around reminded me of Harry Potter in the first film playing Quidditch. And the technology displayed was way too overdone. They could've downplayed it a little. This will go right along with Iron Man 3 for the weakest films so far in the Marvel Collective.",4 "I've been watching Hollywood movies ever since I came to this world (*sarcasm*) and I always concentrate on two aspects of the movie, the acting and dialog delivering. This past week I've been going over the whole Harry Potter series watching three young kids become teenagers, their acting, expression and confidence improving with every epic episode of the series. Taking into consideration the latest of the series ""Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows Part I"" there were a lot of new faces as compared to the previous episodes. The good thing about the movie was the storyline that mostly revolved around Daniel, Rupert and Emma. Some of the acting scenes were really exceptional but I was a little disappointed in Rupert and Emma's acting. The reason being, I couldn't see the same enthusiasm and passion which they portrayed in the previous episodes. Emma, although did good but wasn't great and I couldn't see the spark that she had earlier. She did a good job in delivering the dialogs but the way she used to express previously was missing this time. It seemed as if she was acting forcefully and wasn't happy. Similarly she was also lacking the eagerness of proving herself. In short she could have done an exceptional job by paying more attention to expression and adapting greater keenness towards her role. Rupert did a good job but could have been better and I believe he lacked interest in his role; it seemed as if he was tired and bored of playing the same role again and again. As for Daniel, he did an exceptional job, acted and delivered in a perfect way and I could see a lot of energy and enthusiasm. It seemed as if Daniel was there for Rupert and Emma and helped them pull through the movie. Whatever the reason being for Emma and Rupert's lack of interest in their roles one thing was clear that they were bored of doing the same old routine for the past decade.",7 "Bad plot, bad dialogue, silly costumes. They made Loki way to basic. The show is for kids, they just added a few unecessary fight scenes to raise the age limit.",1 "The mind-boggling, brain-aching, soul-destroying psyche/thrill that had the most 'honest' of us admitting that we didn't have a clue; but that argument could be made for most of Christopher Nolan's genius. Cobb steals information from his targets by entering their dreams. Saito offers to wipe clean Cobb's criminal history as payment for performing an inception on his sick competitor's son. In an effort to combat confusion, television broadcasts in Japan include text in the upper-left corner of the screen to remind viewers which level of the dream a specific scene takes place in. The film is one which twists the cerebrum and tests intelligence in its display of polish and finesse. The picture is a work of art, it is museum-worthy cinematography with Nolan offering us no clarity between delusion and illusion. We as the audience eagerly await the Volta in the production and ultimately are tantalised by the seriously impressive performances from Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Leonardo DiCaprio - all of whom own the screen in such a professional and profound manner. Its complicated narrative is difficult to understand and can make the movie-watching experience a less enjoyable one, to a point where it almost feels tiring. Though, for those who comfortably grasp the psychological criss-cross, the watch is one that keeps you guessing, and continues to unfold new monumental events acting as clues to the sensational subplot. For those who believe the 2010 release is overrated, 836.8 million says otherwise. A film that may not be comprehendible, but can still be respected.",7 "So Im going to keep this pretty short. The trailer for this movie ruined the whole film for me. To explain better Ill just say : the trailer made this movie look like a great mystery. A mystery that would keep you guessing who did what. Well this was not the case. Who did what is something you learn pretty quickly, so when the big mystery is revealed in the end you go: wow! Thats lame and overly complicated. I also see no need for such a star studded cast. We dont see much from any of the characters at all. Talk about adding big actors for such boring and useless parts. Now on to the good: had the trailer not hyped me up for such a big mystery, then I think I would have loved it a whole lot more. Cuz all I felt while watching this movie was dissappointment. I was ready to pay close attention and look for clues, and then boom. Mystery pretty much revealed within the first fifteen minutes.",3 "DISCLAIMER: Before you read my review, I want to ensure all of you that I am 100% not racist. I don't like this movie, it has absolutely nothing to do with the race and culture. I love the superhero Black Panther, and I enjoy the African people and learning about their culture. This movie does establish the sets/Locations, and special effects well, but nothing else. Any way, back to Black Panther. When I first found out he was joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe I got excited. Black Panther was great in ""Captain America: Civil War"", and Chadwick Boseman is a perfect actor to play this role. Then came the solo movie ""Black Panther"", and..... Well, just read my review below. ""Black Panther"" (2018), there has been a lot of hype surrounding this ""movie"", even before the first trailer was released! Many Marvel fans had a lot of hope and expectations, was it worth the hype to me? To be quite honest, no. I was very disappointed with this ""movie"". Why? The ""movie"" is an overall dull and boring experience from beginning to end. I kept checking my watch to see how much time was left, and I also fell asleep numerous times! I almost walked out of the theater. But, this is not the first Marvel movie that I've absolutely hated. There are other Marvel movies, along with some other different films not related to Marvel where I almost walked out of the theater. However there are positives for this ""movie"", but very few. (I ALWAYS TRY TO SALVAGE ANY POSITIVES OUT OF ANY MOVIE I SEE.) First off, the special effects are first-rate of course, Chadwick Boseman is a good actor, and a perfect choice for the Black Panther character. But, I think Black Panther works better as side character, or a team player in other movies. Also, the sets and locations in the ""film"" gave it an interesting atmosphere. But sadly, those variables did not help the ""movie"". I'm struggling to give this ""film"" a 2 out of 5 star rating on my personal scale. On IMDB, every two stars count as 1 star on my scale. So, that means it gets a 4 out of 10 on the IMDB scale. Unless you're a fan of the Marvel films, I suggest skipping this ""movie"" and saving your money. I am kind of happy I saw it though, I just don't think I'll be seeing it again.",4 "A movie that starts out very strong, great acting and a great storyline that seemed to deteriorate halfway through.",6 "After the catastrophic past DC films failed this film loomed over me before my watch, but however it breaks the trend of worthless unfunny attempts before it and it is a fresh breath of air. Zachary Levi's performance is hilarious and fun and his chemistry with over characters is very watchable. However the first 20 minutes do feel quite clunky tonally and were not a good first impression. Overall it is a right step for DC and I hope this continues!",6 "Some wasted potentials that could've been included: X-Men (i.e. ""certain"" Maximoff) Dr. Strange The earlier episodes are intriguing and good. Classic TV Shows style and such. The alternate-bad-guy is too comical and so out-of-character for someone in such higher-up position. Aside from those nagging, it's a must watch for MCU fans.",8 "There's no transition between Michael I (american hero, away of family business) and Michael II (Sicilian mobster). The shooting of Vito and the assassination of Sonny maybe explains a psychological turn to revenge (a little material showing the attachment between Michael and each of them would have been nice), but it's not enough for this transformation into a full-fledged mafia manager, interested in brothels and casinos. The character of Kay is pathetic, living among criminals and believing Michael's promises about changing his way of life. The whole movie is a collection of excuses to present sketches of violence.",4 "luckily I didn't see this thing until it hit television. I was actually glad that there were commercial breaks to pull me back from the edge of this nightmare of a movie. just as the actors did,i kept stretching out on the sofa to endure more of what ever this was, is or should be. surely, my mind was entered to force to me to stay with this movie, and don't call me Shirley. I even went to bed and took a 25 minute nap ( no lie). all these actors laying down to enter dream mode got me. at any rate, after the nap, I returned and quickly realized I missed nothing really. a waste of time, money ( if you paid to see it ). I wonder if the actors realized how bad this was at filming time, do they see it as the nightmare it is now?",1 "I was very disappointed in the movie ; the acting was sub par I thought , did not like the one shot camera direction , lost creative opportunities I think . Seemed like a good story but we never saw the struggle and the obstacles , the character just meandered into half baked scenes that seemed rushed or not thought out . The lack of substance in the scenes and lack of honesty / intimacy with the characters left me feeling the movie was shallow and redundant . Not sure what everyone else saw in this movie , nothing on "" Saving P. Ryan "" .",6 "Series for fans of the Addams Family series, inspired by Tim Burton. Jenna Ortega As Wednesday stole all the show as a new icon in Tim burton's world and she's now being compared to Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands. The filming locations, colors, and filming method are all wonderful and fit the series, which was not heavy on the viewer and did not delve into the mystery of the story, but rather was balanced in providing us with an interesting series with a story of mystery, crime, and mystery. Some of the roles were weak and the love storyline was lackluster, but other characters' relationships were great. The rest of the female roles are all distinct. The addition of Christian Ricci brought us back the nostalgia. The series is unrelated to the previous films and is worth watching while waiting for a new season of the series.",8 "2 hours of having Adam Sandler shout in your ears is more than any human being should ever be subjected to. Still giving it a decent rating because everything else was good.",5 "I really don't know were to begin and don't have a clue were to end....!! Andy Serkis direction was awful, Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Woody Harrelson all plied their craft like they were desperate to get of their contracts.... Simply a-w-f-u-l !! Suffice to say, don't waste your time and money Really and truly - The End. Gave movie 4/10 for great CGI & 'good enough' cast.",4 Plot holes lots and lots of plot holes and very annoying caricatures very disappointing,2 "My lack of enjoyment for this much-beloved murder-comedy story may have something to do with the complete disconnect I get reading positive reviews posted here. They talk about its great humor, its strong sense of place, and the tough way it deals with bad things people really do. I watch this movie and just feel miserable. Not so much with the story on screen, but with ""Fargo's"" enormous popularity. Minnesota car salesman Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) needs a lot of money. He decides on a plan to have his wife kidnapped so that her wealthy father will pay a million-dollar ransom. He offers the kidnappers, a pair of lowlife goons, $40,000 by pretending its half of a much lower ransom demand. All this comes apart when one of the goons gets trigger-happy on their way back from the wife-snatching, and Chief Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) gets the call. People liken the humor in ""Fargo"" to that of ""Goodfellas"", except in ""Goodfellas"" the people getting hurt and killed are guys who chose their ""kill-or-be-killed"" line of work. Here, the kidnapping and later deaths are treated as a kind of goof, to be larked over by Marge and the other cops. Tragedy becomes a kind of cynical shorthand for audience merriment. For example, the kidnapped mother's poor son is only glimpsed teary-eyed in one scene after the crime so the directors can make the point of his lame musical interests - Whitesnake and accordions. The comedies of Joel and Ethan Coen often deal in broad caricature with a regional slant. ""Raising Arizona"" used the Southwest United States, ""O Brother Where Art Thou"" the Deep South; both to great effect. Yet here the depictions of the Northwestern people (Minnesota, not North Dakota, is the central setting; Dakotans may be grateful the Coens are not from there) border on the bovine. Big cow-faced people chew disgusting amounts of starches and red meat while talking in monosyllables about the weather and little else. ""Yah"", ""Yah betcha"", ""Doncha know"" and so on permeate their dialogue until the point of their basic moronity is hammered home. One wonders if this is what makes the film comedic to so many: How could you care about people like this being murdered? They're barely alive now! I actually have less of a problem watching the murders - which to be fair to the Coens are not shot in an exploitative manner - than some of the casual dialogue scenes. The Coens as writers seem to enjoy creating one miserably painful conversation after another, using Larry David-style morbid embarrassment as its ultimate purpose, such as Marge's pointless meeting with an old high-school flame or Lundegaard getting the shaft from his too-nasty-to-be-true father-in-law. ""This could work out real well for me and Jean and Scottie"", Lundegaard tells the old man at one point, trying to sell him on a loan. ""Jean and Scottie never have to worry,"" the father-in-law growls. To say this film is morally repulsive and insulting to Minnesotans is not to deny its funny or interesting in places, once you make an effort to accept where its coming from. Watching the lowlife crooks (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) argue about pancakes is kind of fun, and certain scenes work in a low-key way. The camera-work by Roger Deakins captures the grimness early American settlers talked so despondently about, where horizon lines are lost between whited-out land and sky. But this 98-minute film with seven murders feels more to me like the Donner Party running on real time. I know people enjoy this film, but man I don't know if I'd feel worse knowing why.",3 "Netflix has spread the hype of this tv show and tried to make it more than it really is which is mediocre. The show's story doesn't seem to be proceeding in any way. It's always the same storyline manipulated into slightly different direction from the previous season. Extremely overrated and utterly boring. After the first season, you are basically watching it over and over again with a slight change.",5 "You definitely need to watch 13 Reasons Why. I loved it, and I only watched episode 1. In my opinion, 13 Reasons Why is one of the best ways to show how what you say and do can hurt people in ways you didn't know. Just from the first episode, I can tell that the show will be relateable to the students in high school all around the world. I think that the author does a great job of showing which part of the show is happening now, and what already happened because of the color choices and other details. I like how the author uses the present and the past in the episode because I feel like it is easier to follow and you get more background knowledge on certain parts. I think that by watching this show, you can learn a lot about life as a whole, and you may become a better person by the life lessons they give. As you can see, I really like 13 Reasons Why and I cannot wait to keep on watching.",8 "I think like most here, I went into this film with good expectations. I really enjoyed the first movie and with the cast announced I was looking forward to this. I've come out of it, however, a little dissatisfied. So I have 2 major plot annoyances, which for me really stops this movie being a great one. So the start was really slow. I wasn't really sold on any of the characters and it just seemed to take an age for the plot to get moving. However, once it does I really enjoyed it. A few really nice twists and the tension built along with the ""who did it?"" That's burning your brain as you watch, really made me want to watch more and more. Until the end. It seemed to fall apart a bit. Listen, it's not the worst ending you'll see. But it reminds me of Death on the Nile, in that it's pretty obvious from the get go who the murderer is. Almost too obvious. And that really puts a downer on it as there's no real final twist or that ""wow"" factor to finalise the plot. How the case was solved was interesting and everything, but it's just too obvious. Side note: I also thought they didn't do enough with the characters. They had some really intriguing characters here and half of them were pretty forgettable and the ones that were on screen more, there was no real arc's or depth there for us to enjoy. I'm still going 7/10 today however. I did really enjoy the main base of this movie, the performances from everyone was fantastic. The cinematography was also great. And was I intrigued and interested the entire way? Yes. I guess, I just wanted more from this viewing and it's frustrating knowing that if this was done a touch differently it could have been amazing. Would I recommend? I wouldn't shout over the hills about it. But, I'd say give it a watch one evening. It's not bad at all.",7 "It's amazing what eye candy can do these days! If I could sum up this movie it would be ""It's the embodiment of all that shouldn't be in a film. You could create a mountain directed to the gods just out of the pile of **** this movie throws down at you"" Mind you this movie has some good points. The ending was magnificent especially when the curtains closed on this ""stunning"" film and everyone started clapping in awe of the ""awesomeness"" that is packed into this ""phenomenal"" creation. It's not Joss Whedon's fault. If anything it's Marvels egotistic attempts to blow apart their wallets with the amount of money they manage to make from this one film. It really teaches you what some flashes and a few of your favourites can do to create a fanboy paradise full of ""jaw-dropping"" boredom that will leave you wondering why you ever torrented this or spent those 20 dollars on an utter pile of ****.",2 "A lot better than I was expecting, well better than Titans anyway. Not sure if they really can keep up the quirkiness but at the moment thus stands apart from the current crop of Super hero series.

Why insane were affected differently?,6 Beautifully carved all four stories in a single game,10 "Only went because the average rating on IMDb were very high and I usually found them very reliable. Unfortunately this time they were not a good indicator. It's a very average movie, boring at times, with a poor actress performance from Lady Gaga.

Just Loved it..",8 "Glass Onion is true to its name, a seemingly complex web of subplots, motivations and characters that reveals itself to be shatteringly shallow and inconsequential. Benoit Blanc, the world's greatest detective with the most unplaceable accent, is back for another overwritten adventure involving deceit, drugs and devilry. The ""Netflix phenomenon"" is in full effect here - everything from the dialogue to the plot and characterization has been upped to 11, once again naively thinking that bigger is better. The plot is needlessly convoluted, with each backstory revealing another tedious backstory you will have long stopped caring about. The characters, so sharply written in the first installment, reach almost comical levels of satire, devoid of any believable human traits. And the dialog, clearly meant to sound smart on repeated viewings, just comes off as contrived and occasionally downright stupid. Even the setting gets a downgrade here, moving from lovely autumny English countryside to a dazzlingly opaque but emotionally sterile tech island estate. It's simply a movie that is merely going through the motions, with the producers intent on milking the surprise success of the first film. Let's just hope they don't try to create their own elaborate Knives Out universe - that may turn out to be a puzzle that even the likes of the always likeable Daniel Craig will not be able to solve.",4 "I love Henry Cavill as Geralt. Seeing the interview when he said he played the game to play the character better made me excited about the series. I haven't read the book but I played the game. Season 1 was great for me. I enjoyed Geralt taking monster contracts just like in the game. There was some humor. I was even excited seeing the trailer of season 2. In the season 2 trailer Kaer Morhen was like in the game with Ciri training. But when I started watching season 2, it was so disappointing. Ciri wasn't able to finish her training and Eskel died? Lambert and Vesemir so lame? Priestess Nenneke cursing? Plus most of the humor gone? Also, I can't feel the connection between Geralt and Ciri. I was expecting a story between them similar to a Joel and Ellie kind of relationship, if you know what I mean.",6 "I am the one who wanted be the person surrounded by art but never did anything noticable in my real life but only in my dreams. Me either had a dream becoming a filmmaker as a child, however things got different here. For this reason I felt this story, story of a man who didn't stop in his way of becoming a person who he really wants. Almost everything is well-done here, starting from screenplay ending with post production. Diolouges are great with lots of deep meening and without any unnecessary talks. Loved that. Color grading, editing is amazing. Acting is great too. But I have to say there is something missing which I can't explain at the moment, so that's why i put 9/10. Generally, I enjoyed the movie!",9 "I quite enjoyed John Wick, the first one was OK, if you can get away from the fact that Keanu Reeves isn't very believable as a super assassin. This one is diabolical. It's so bad, I can't think of anything productive to write. If the alternative is no film at all, go for that, because there's no reason to watch John Wick 2.",2 "If I were to think about a Hindi heist movie by a Indian filmmakers, it would be stupid of me not to consider that movie a Hollywood remake, a bad one mind you (cough .. Players .. cough). That was before I saw Special 26. This movie and it's makers depict everything that is in constant revolution in Indian cinema. It's conception and subject is something that is very endearing, especially to an Indian heart. Before I start putting un-colloquial words on this post let me just confess that I have seen enough heist movies.This all so mighty nature led me to believe that I knew the ending well enough 20 minutes before the climax. I even with intellectual air up in my head try to tell my engrossed friend how the movie will end, to which I was served with enough verbal abuses. But then something happened and I was left totally flabbergasted with the turn around in story. That air up in my head disappeared like a shamelessly coward dog. The movie is good because it has what it's story demands – a tight screenplay. Apart from the 2 song sequence, it guides uninhibitedly, making it's patterns quite like the popular heist movies. With the subtle humour of it's characters and intelligent direction, the movie has a lot of scenes to get amused and laugh at. There is that scene where officer (Manoj Bajpai) tells the suspended policeman that he wont get fooled by this gang like he did and with that you know that this will be a good tom and jerry chase and the imminent win of one over other. There is also the savoring scene of interviews where young people come with very funny lines on why they want to join CBI. Neeraj Pandey with his promising debut comes forth with another movie that is enjoyable, witty, intelligent and has enough to make your moneys worth. He has augmented his reputation to another level, maybe the one of the best filmmaker in contemporary Indian cinema. Performance wise it does with what little it has to offer. Akshay Kumar plays the subdued part well in accordance to the story and it's his characterisation. But those of you who might carry the notion of his best performance yet need to slow down a little. The pick of this movie are two persons who with their portrayal make this movie so much fun to watch. Manoj Bajpai with his angry man attitude gets the part so well even with his overconfident nature of portrayal. It might seem like he will growl at you for passing a stupid comment and then he comes with the most quirky dialogue. Anupam Kher potential as a actor is far from recognised. The way he shifts his mannerisms from serious to devil-may- care attitude is worth applauding. This is just a opinion but I think that if Anupam Kher would have done something like 'Do dooni Char', it would have been all the more relishing (No OFFENCE RK). He just gets the common man attitude and attire. Rest of the cast did commendably good in supporting the story. Oh and yeah watch it l so for the art direction and portrayal of cities in 80s especially Delhi. A must, must watch.",9 "I mean like. It's bad, but if you just want a fun dumb horror movie that's not scary at all, it's not unwatchable.

Whether Parker is trying to deliver pizzas on time by taking a web-swinging shortcut or begging for an advance from his snarky and very funny boss at the Daily Bugle, every scene is pushed to its entertainment limits. And then come the fight scenes, which are a new pinnacle of human achievement in film. Thanks to the nature of Spider-Man, each battle either takes place five hundred feet in the air on the side of a building or on top (and inside and underneath) a moving train. They're bigger, faster and louder than in the first movie and most importantly much, much longer and done in flawless computer graphics work.

It is too busy with paying homages to find a face of its own. The comedy, story, and characters don't feel fresh and come off as rather artificial and forced. Moreover the usage of CG feels really excessive. Looks like Stephen Chow has succumbed to the Hollywood trend of using CG for its own sake, even if it doesn't really serve the movie. Anyway, I'm sure most people will like it, since it's right in line with Hollywood blockbuster flashiness while maintaining a bit of Chinese wackiness, but I for one felt very disappointed.",7 "I was thrown by the bad reviews and then I watched till the end of episode 4.

Indeed, the plant itself was an accident waiting for the right circumstances to happen. On a whole, it's a really good series. Jared Harris as the principal nuclear physicist serving as technical lead and Stellan Skarsgård as the ""one good bureaucrat"" are simply exceptional in their roles. The 4th episode drags a bit with a story about soldiers killing dogs and other pets that have been irradiated. Yes, it's sad, and I suppose the point was to show those ""little stories"" that would fall through the cracks. Still, it slowed the pace of the mini-series as a whole. The mini-series actually could have used a bit more of that as I thought it was interesting, but only up to a point and I think they just went a bit too far. That said, it's a minor issue. The authenticity of the setting is also remarkable. Granted, I don't know what mid-80s Pripyat and the surrounding area looks like, but it looked genuine to me. Pacing was great (outside of that 4th episode) and I couldn't wait to start the next one. The last episode was a fitting and wonderful end to the series. It's not meant to be a documentary, but it's certainly more than ""inspired by true events"". I guess you can call it an historical drama and it's one of the best I've seen. I hesitated between and 8 and 9 on this. It would have been a 9 had they made a better 4th episode; at the same time, it doesn't feel fair to drop a point for one story of one episode (the other major story about using a lunar robot, then bio-robots to clean the roof was spectacular). In the end, I decided on a 9 given I think it's one of those ""you have to see it"" type TV series, whereas an 8 to me is a ""solid and really enjoyable"" but not something that would make a bucket list.",9 "Sorry.

However, what started as a harmless act of rebellion soon has dark consequences, leaving them on the run. Superb. From the outset the series is great: the characters are dark yet funny and engaging and there is a quirkiness that balances the humour and darkness. Solid plot, with clever developments and sub-plots and great character depth and development. Emotional ending. One of the main reasons for the engagement and entertainment of the series are the lead performances. Jessica Barden is superb as Alyssa: over-the-top and intense with spot-on mannerisms and superb comedic timing. Alex Lawther plays the straight character to Alyssa's kookiness and does it with aplomb. The chemistry between them is great too. Rounding it all off is brilliant soundtrack, one of the best you'll hear in a TV series. A great selection of tracks, all of which fit in perfectly with the series. Season 1 ended so emotionally and poetically I sort of wished there wasn't going to be a Season 2. There is a Season 2, and it doesn't disappoint.

No offence but I found Korean humor presented in this movie to be silly & irritating(eg. the disgusting scene when the girl vomits on a person's head, slapping in public, and the girl who is a tyrant). May be it's the culture difference. Lets come to the romantic part. I don't know if it is a real story. But I could not connect with the characters in this movie.

I feel as if it contributes to nothing in the mcu. It feels like a bunch of action put together. I gave this movie 7 stars because it wasn't all that bad, the introduction of spider man was epic and the fight scenes were a bit good just not necessary at times. I do recommend but it's not something to watch many times.",7 "It has all the faults of a typical hollywood action movie: based on a tried and tired formula, no character depth, no character arcs, lots of ""explosions n stuff"", very bad camera work, lots of pop culture references, and oddly too low on imagination. It is baffling how a story that is set in 2045 has all its pop references in the 80s: all the music you hear, the movies and actors and directors they hint on, even the games they refer to are atari games! It is obvious this movie is based on the imagination of an 80s boy, with 80s nostalgia. That could be forgiven if the story telling was actually good. The movie starts with a LONG exposition narration, that TELLS you who everyone is, who the baddie is and who the good guys are, how the world functions, and all the boring stuff. After that (since the viewers are obviously bored) we switch to a long mindless action scene which is supposed to look cool but actually games in 2010 had better graphics than that. Basically the virtual world of the movie passes as if u r watching a very long cutscene in a videogame and you are not even playing. You are just being bored out of your mind. The cardboard characters are so one-dimensional that the writer didn't even bother with giving them an arc. They just go around, do stuff, find the macguffins, defeat the boss, and that's it, game over. After the movie finishes in the most anticlimatic way, you might only have one question, and that is how a person who made ""schindler's list"" makes sth as horrendous as this pickle 15 years later.",3 "This is the BEST tv show I've ever seen, it contains jokes and funny content for kids and relatable, sad and dark meanings for adults. Totally recommend.",10 "Just finished first episode, looks like a great show. The episode is respectful towards the books and games,mostly. Only 2 flaws spotted so far:1, where's that Witcher's snake eyes? 2, the necklace of Witcher is not like the one in the game, not a wolf head but a medal. Beside those, everything is great, and as I said, it's just some minor ""flaw"", or maybe even not to call it flaws, just alterations and it have little affect on the episode.Seems a good one, with some minor flaws.",8 "First of all, the directing was really well done, suspensful moments where you FEEL that something is about to go down, interesting way of story telling. Cast also done a great job (and it's always fun to watch Daniel Craig). Maybe the first movie had a better mistery and ending, it also had a different feeling to it. So try not to compare it. I started watching this movie knowing very little about it, tried not to spoil it to myself with trailers and etc, maybe that's what made this movie so good to me. There were some on the nose jokes, but overall it was a fun and interesting experience.",8 "There are too may things that could have actually gone wrong with this movie, but the director and the entire cast have pulled off something magical. The movie manages to instill a sense of nationalistic pride within the viewer. The army fight sequences are pretty well planned and executed. All in all a complete entertainment package a",10 "Read the books and loved them, saw the BBC series on Sundance and now watching on AMC!!! Loved it, love it! Great acting, production, cast and mostly story. Can't wait for Seasons 2 & 3.",9 "Okay, after doing a complete watch-thru once again of all three seasons I am ready to give a final scoring and review of Hannibal. I will just say this show was a pretty fun ride. Not true to the books but it was an entertaining version of characters masterfully written by Thomas Harris. This review will just summarize my scores from my more detailed rants and walkthroughs of most of the episodes. Season 1 Season 1 we are introduced to all the great characters from the books. With a few minor variations. Though the Season was pretty good. it wasn't without hiccups here and there. But through the averages of the episode scores Season 1 ends up with an 8 of 10. Season 2 Season 2 there were a few hiccups. A couple episodes were just incredibly average which really didn't help. Plenty of Lecter dinner parties however kept the season afloat. Season 2 gets a 7 /10. Season 3 Whenever a show gets news they are cancelled that can have a devastating effect. especially if they are still filming. Not exactly sure how the news or even IF the news affected the writing or storyline at all, but judging from the final episodes of this season I can only conclude that it must have. Season 3 gets a score of 7/10 from me. I really didn't care for a lot of how there was little regard for human life at all in a few of these episodes. So overall the show gets a barely 7/10 based on the average of 3 seasons from me. I will say, I rate Mads Mikkelson as Hannibal Lecter a perfect 10 /10. He was great in this role. The other actors, really really good. Especially Gillian in her part and how it developed through the seasons. I always enjoyed Hugh Dancy and Fishburne of course as Jack Crawford. The 2 different actors that played Pig Man were really awesome also. Overall a good show. I can be proud of saying that ive watched seasons 1 to 3 thru 3 times!!! And I will probably watch them all again someday. Kudos to Bryan Fuller and team for bringing Hannibal Lecter to Life once again.",7 "It wasnt what I hoped, it does feel that it occurs on the Wizarding world of HP but the story kinda doesnt leed to anything, there is only a climax in the movie because of coincidences. And the main plot with the main character has nothing to do with anything, he is just doing his stuff while everyone else is kinda helping him but also worried about their own problems. It was a little entertaining, but after you finish watching it you will probably forget everything about the movie in a week.",6 "It's sad to see good material fall in the hands of people who know very little about it and clearly have not enough humility to realise that a bit of preparation is needed if you are going to write about something you know very little. One of the strong points of the Witcher stories is their Slav lore and all that comes with it. Nothing of that remains, all mixed up in a sort of made up Hollywood fantasy world template. Gone is the path and its harsh lessons, replaced by plots that lead to nowhere and feeble characters. The only thing still holding the series was Cavill as Geralt and now he is gone. Sad.",2 "Whoever wrote the credits must not have watched the series. They said that Marilka is in one episode; I'm watching Episode 2, and she's in it. Regardless, this is an excellent fantasy tale. Between The Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones, and The Witcher, can the 21st century be the century of the fantasy film?",9 "In a controversial move, Hollywood decided not to continue with Sam Raimi's CGI-athon Spiderman frachise in favour of a complete reboot. I'm not surprised really, the third instalment was just awful. This time Peter Parker, played by Andrew Garfield's hair, goes through all the same motions - a good-hearted loner who faces the stereotype bully, pursues the girl, gets bitten by a spider, perfects his abilities, and along the way there just might be a few well trodden superhero lessons to learn, like the importance of being able to disguise a giant barnet under a raspberry condom mask. In this episode, sorry movie, The Amazing Garfieldman is up against his biggest green screen foe to date - Rhys Ifans, played by a cartoon lizard. All the while pursuing his relationship with Emma Stone's Gwen Stacey. It's well acted and there's genuine chemistry between the two leads who were in fact dating throughout the movie. There's another good turn from Denis Leary, even if his character was screaming for an injection of Tommy Gavin vipishness. It plays slightly truer to the comic books (Spiderman invents his own web slinging device, rather than the biological alternative) and Garfield is in my opinion far more likable than that space cockroach Tobey Maguire. But for all the little pro's, it does absolutely nothing new with the franchise and borrows heavily from the Sam Raimi series. It's far from a bad movie, it's just not a particularly interesting or inventive one and makes no apologies for following a nice safe, linear formula to it's predictable outcome.",3 "Fnatastic beasts and where to find them is for some enteteining prequel story before harry potter was even in plan,but problem is that the magic i felt in all harry potter films unfortunetly i didnt feel it in this one,maybe becase they spent to much time on creatures and not on human charcters,even if that title says fantastic beasts these beast are not half intersting as humans in film,i also think that becase of that plot with twist of grindelwald didnt have big impact and farell character was necesery replaced with depp they should live it how it was from beginnig",5 "If you have not seen this movie after you are done reading this DRIVE TO THE THEATERS RIGHT AWAY!!!!!!!! The plot was very strong. The cast was AMAZING!!!!! Especially Scarlett Johansson!!! SHE WAS BRILLIANT!!! Chris Evans also did an AMAZING job! The whole movie was AMAZING! The special effect were so realistic. Especially when you see the movie in IMAX 3D you feel like your right there with them. Samuel L. Jackson also surprised me. He was AWESOME in it. Maria Hill was also incredible. I also greatly enjoyed Marvel introducing the Falcon. I really want to see him in a future film. I would love if he had a cameo in Avengers: Age of Ultron. The soundtrack in this film also enhanced the experience of the movie. I think that the soundtrack of a movie plays a huge role. You could have an amazing movie, yet not have a good soundtrack and it can make the movie not as enjoyable. Also Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier = EPIC!!! Bucky was kind of creepy! The movie was so intense and kept me on the edge oft seat! There was also some very good humor that made me laugh. Overall it was one of the best films I have ever seen and I recommend EVERYONE who is in to comics and action to see this movie. Comic book fans NEED to see this. Honestly this film was BRILLIANT!",8 "I could watch Knives Out movies all day long and not get bored. These films have done a great job of introducing intricate new casts, while keeping Benoit Blanc at the center of it all. I was truly guessing the whole time and found myself deeply intrigued by the mystery. While on the surface it seems like a typical ensemble murder mystery, this film breaks some of the tropes and mixes it up. The whole second act reveal was exciting and different. Including the pandemic elements in the final cut is going to date this film and it is one of the only things keeping me from an immediate rewatch. That being said, Rian Johnson and Netflix need to keep these movies coming as I am eagerly waiting for the next mystery. Best Character: Andi Best Scene: Lights Out Best Quote: ""I'm very bad at dumb things"" - Benoit Blanc Best Piece of Score: ""An Anonymous Invitation""",8 "This movie seems to be getting somewhere at certain points and then diverges so much that one starts wondering what QT was thinking while making this movie. I even fell asleep for 5 minutes to later realize that the movie's rhythm had not changed. After all, what was the purpose of this movie? Boring, inconsequential, waste of time..and money.",3 "(As this show has stumbled on, my review and rating has been updated to keep track of the unfolding disaster. We started at an 8 - how low can we go?) The easiest layup in the history of adaptations, and Hissrich is swinging and missing, over and over. All she had to do was to actually adapt either the books, or the games. Just show the audience what we wanted to see - the Witcher. Season1 teased us with that, with a perfectly cast Cavill, and a very decent Yennifer and Ciri carrying the show.. But Hissrich has become determined to show us HER vision, and HER truths, and by sason 3 we're left with a tedious, plodding, muddled, age-playing, gayed-up, clownshoes mess of a show, with rapidly declining production values, comically bad costume, hair and makeup, and dinner theatre level acting from much of the supporting cast. The worst part is that the three leads are decently cast and perfectly capable of delivering a great show, if they only had anything to work with. But the writing team loathes the source material and indeed the titular character, and they do everything to subvert or sideline and drown them in tedious side-quests, nothingburger plots, and instantly forgettable minor characters. Even when they stick to the source - and season / book 3 is predominantly meant to be about Yennifer and Ciri - they lean into the Grrlbosses Who Are The Keys To Everything trope so hard that it becomes pure cringe. And all we wanted was a show featuring the Witcher, doing Witchery things.",3 "The tricky thing with good movies set in historical or prehistorical settings is that often we have less than we'd like to go on and must rely on artistic interpretations for dramatic or practical effect. Bad movies like this just don't care. I have little regard for productions that insult a well informed audience by carelessly throwing in obvious impossibilities, hoping that no one would notice. I go to a theater or sit down at home to be immersed for a hour or two in make believe that ought at least to be *believable*. So when I see the heroes interacting with animals or beasts that have no business being where they are through plot arcs that flaunt mainstream scholarship on the subject, it takes me out of the fantasy and makes me wish I'd chosen something else. This movie is so inaccurate with regards to ice age natural history and what we know about early humans through archaeology, a documentary to explain all of them out would take as long as the running time of this one. After the disappointment of 2008's 10,000 BC, my expectations were low going in. yup. Not much better.",1 "I have to say, this is one the best movies that I've ever seen with Aamir Khan. He was so young (and so cute!) in this movie but made a big impression. And I also love Juhi Chawla's role in the movie. She's also so sweet in her roles. But I guess it comes natural to her. I adore the songs in this movie. Especially ""Papa Kehte Hain"" in the beginning at the College dance. Aamir was a great performer! And the chaperones who danced in the film were great too! If anyone who reads this has not seen this movie and happens to love Hindi movies like me, you have got to watch it! You'll start dancing and singing to the songs and have a blast! Hope you love it as much as me! Bye!",10 "I went in blind, now I'm sad I didn't check imdb first. This movie is awful, the characters are terrible, the script is bad, the acting is bad the premise is bad, the only good thing is the soundtrack. There is no logic here. Please don't watch. Or watch and wish you went blind.",3 "Some weird editing in the action scenes, but that might be intentional. It falls victim of some cliches, i really didnt like the romeo and juliet conflict, but apart form that an amazing series. some nice jabs at the super hero cinema hypestorm, and with a dark sense of humor at that. 8/10: nice and edgy, in the way that works",9 "There is some great acting there. I found the film really annoying and very, very stressful. Because of the directing, it is hard to focus on the ""plot"". I did not enjoy it.",5 "Loved every bit of this film. An inspiring story with a huge lot of messages for life, struggle, hope and success. Every actor was at his/her best, editing, screenplay, music, it all appeared very simple but very appropriately done. Loved how the shunning of the cutter at the security checkin was applied to symbolise an action against negativity.",8 "This is by far the best show I have ever seen. The acting is phenomenal, the casting is great, and the writing is out of this world. Each character ties perfectly into the next, and while there can be many different sub plots going on at once, they are all connected somehow, and go together so smoothly. I was hesitant to watch the show, but my friend got me watching it on DVD, and I literally could not wait to toss in the next disk when an episode ended. Give this show a chance, as Keifer Sutherland is fantastic in his role, and the show is an absolute pressure cooker that will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time.",10 "This is a fantastic show. It's a little raunchy and a little vulgar, and it definitely doesn't take itself very seriously, but it's well written, well acted, and the production quality was much better than I expected. I laughed when Wolf said he was hit about 3 minutes into the first episode, so you'll know really early on if it's your type of humor or not, but if you can't find anything to watch and you have Hulu, I'd definitely recommend giving it a go.",7 "I have been meaning to see NH 10 for some time now, finally managed to catch it on a flight today. In a word, this is a terrifying film. Terrifying because it is real. Terrifying because this could happen to you, to me, to anyone of us. Riveting because it was well enacted. Ideally one should see this in a theatre or at least on a large screen TV rather than on a tiny flight screen with abysmal graphics. This is because most of the film is shot in the dark and you do need a good screen to get the best effect. On the other hand, the incidents portrayed are so real and it happened at night so this is how it is in the dark. I have always admired Anushka Sharma as an actress right from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and in Band Bajaa Baraat and in Ladies V/s Ricky Bahl. She was superb in NH 10. I thought the husband was Rajkumar Rao but turns out it was Neil Bhoopalam who also essayed his role brilliantly. As did all the other characters. Very realistic, and terrifyingly true. I do not want to disclose the plot in my reviews, suffice it to say that this is a horrific portrayal of reality in certain parts of the country, and well worth watching.",10 This is just another stinker with really bad story and really bad acting.,1 "I think Karthi is known for his amazing choices but personally I never liked his movies if it is kashmora or dev but this one is just a bomb. Firstly hats no everything off to Mr Lokesh Kanagaraj. His style of delivering movies is outstanding. Everyone in this movie has done natural acting. We get connected to each and every character and situation. The theme songs , BGM , action , slo mo everything is amazing but some action scenes I think is over shown because getting so much injured after that he is continuously fighting but police officer gets unconscious at a single punch. So I think personally these action scenes could be improved and the last scene is must watch and it is a family friendly movie , I think it has not too much violence.",9 "First of all, I wanna start with Carnage, after like 10+ years of wishing to see Carnage in live-action, I was finally happy to see Carnage in a movie. This movie hyped me when I saw the title carnage when it was first revealed. Then I went to the movie and. The movie was a disaster! I liked Carnage but it wasn't enough for me! Carnage was missing a lot of things. Example: His evil psycho laugh and many other crazy and psycho stuff that Carnage did in the comics. I wished to see a scarier Venom in the sequel, but Venom was more childish than the first movie. The movie is disappointing for me. All I am going to say is, I didn't like it.",3 Shows story is good not perfect acting is really good casting is good not perfect but really important think that marvel should understand that they can't compete with Netflix marvel daredevil level shows they are perfect and mind blowing.,4 "I've probably watched this show dozens of times. Every episode is new and different, it's rare that nickelodeon comes out with something so great. My favorite part of it is the character development. Also the animation gets better over time through out the show which is nice. There's a reason all these other people are rating it 10/10 stars. Also some of the episodes don't even have the fire nation in them. It's just the kids experience of taking down the fire nation. It has a great balance of humor, action, and drama. Not to mention the end is golden. I highly recommend you watch it. You won't regret it!",10 "In the 14 years since its release, The Dark Knight has become a modern classic and frankly I don't get why. Yes, it has an all-star cast, yes, it is well-shot, and yes, it does treat Batman with a lot of realism, but outside of that it's badly written and in the end it just feels empty. That being said... there's no denying that Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is one for the ages. It's incredible. If you had told me back in the day that the pretty boy from A Knight's Tale would give an Oscar-worthy performance as a comic book villain, I wouldn't have believed it. But I certainly believe it now. This movie is worth seeing once just to watch Heath Ledger work. It's a tour-de-force that you very rarely see. So, yeah. For me, The Dark Knight is a mediocre movie built around one shining diamond of a performance. Make of that what you will.",5 "When this film was first announced I thought it seemed like a strange choice to do a standalone Venom movie, especially one with out the presence of Spider-Man. However, I had high hopes for it because of the inclusion of Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, and Jenny Slate; all of which I am fond of. Unfortunately the cast of actors could not prevent this movie from being a bland, sloggish film that will most likely be a low point in all of their careers. One of my bigger problems with this story is that they failed to pin down what the tone of the movie was supposed to be. There were elements of romance, action, horror, and comedy strewn throughout and none of it was done particularly well. The comedy was exceptionally poor, being that actual jokes were replaced with someone just saying a curse word. I have a few gripes about Venom that I won't talk at length about including: poor CGI that culminated with a dark, hard to see fight, flat chemistry between the performers, a typical ""do bad things to do good things"" villain, below average editing, and poor story structure. But the worst element of the movie in my opinion is Eddie's character development. Eddie starts off being a certain way and never has to reconcile anything with his personality or change himself to become a better person. In the beginning he's idealistic and wants to help people, followed by a brief moment of not wanting to help people, and then being followed again by wanting to help people. He never has to face adversity and find out what he really stands for. He never has a moment where he has to reevaluate the consequences of his actions (albeit a quick scene in which he apologizes to Williams' character about something from the past). And lastly, he never has to make any sacrifices to protect what he loves or be a hero to the people. Some things I did like about Venom: Eddie and Venom's dynamic was enjoyable, an exciting opening scene, and an excellent score by the always talented Ludwig Goransson. Overall, Venom is a bland movie with some entertaining elements. It feels like it belongs in the mid 2000's rather than 2018. There isn't enough good film making and story in Venom to make it shine, but still manages to be marginally entertaining as an action blockbuster.",4 "Total chaos. A movie about the worst types of people. Really not a great look for Jewish or Black people, but maybe that's reality? I'm really starting to wonder after trying to sit through this nightmare of a movie.",2 "If you enjoy American propaganda served cold, If you enjoy stereotypical portrayal of Russians, If you enjoy dull acting, low quality, and unrealistic and flat, underdeveloped characters, Then by any means you should watch it! Personally I didn't manage to finish it. P.S. I am neither American nor Russian",2 "I'll never stop believing in MCU supremacy. Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson, these guys were the peak. A show which had a budget of 25+ mil each episode didn't turned out to be a disappointment. Matter of fact, it was collosal success, imo. Great story, amazing actors, dazzling visuals, a perfect set-up for MCU continuity. Marvel Studios tends to leap forth in succession. Loki : 8.78/10 WandaVision : 8.3/10 TFATWS : 8.14/10.",9 "1) Don't take her to be feminine. 2) Don't let her drink over 3 glasses. 3) She'll beat someone. 4) At café drink coffee instead of coke or juice. 5) If she hits U act like it hurts. 6) If it hurts act as it doesn't. 7) On ur 100th day together, give her a rose during her class. make sure u learn fencing & Squash. 9) Also be prepared to go to prison sometimes. 10)If she says she'll kill u, don't take it lightly. That's ''MY SASSY GIRL'' In today's materialistic world where Love is replaced by desire, need is replaced by greed, everything is valued by its price tag, movies like this reminds us rather teaches us what human beings are made of 'love' & 'emotion'. Even I think we are still lucky that movies like this still EXISTS. This movie is humane. It's message and characters are humane. It has no meaning if the end of the movie is happy or sad - there is joy and pain both in it, because that's exactly how the life is. This is one of those movies that makes you think about it for hours after you have seen it(whether the first or the fifth time). The reason being that it is funny, witty and enthralling while still maintaining the charisma of a great Korean romantic movie. You will undoubtedly hate Gianna Jun for the better half of the film but by the end, she will be one of the most enchanting woman you ever saw. Tae-Hyun Cha plays the role of a diffident sort nice guy but with good acting and sound expressions. The story? Its perfect its the first time u may see lots of people laughing and crying at the same time.You may think these things cannot happen then watch it and experience a new kind of feeling. This is a kinda movie that wont fade from ur memory in a short while rather will have a great effect on you and ur future relationships. This rating is just the beginning of the tale i wanna say .... 10/10",10 "This was really, really, good, finally somebody decided to tell a real old fashioned story that focussed on the core subject, with just the right balance of human drama, and not over complicate it with mushy smart talking pointless banter between shallow beautiful characters. Was it perfect, perhaps not, but it was very entertaining, gripping and left you wanting to watch the next episode right away.... which is the whole point of the exercise after all! Excellent job Netflix, you're starting to get pretty good at this making movies stuff!",8 "The show is great. I finished it all in one sitting and didn't get bored or tired at all, which tells a lot about how captivating it is. I won't bore you with why it's so good, just know that it's brilliant. However, my only concerns are mainly the timeline was very confusing, I don't know if it was just be being dumb but I found the flashbacks confusing. Also, the score was pretty lackluster and didn't really hype you up as much as other shows have, and finally there were some VERY VERY cringy scenes, although they weren't common at all but when they did happen oh goodness I wanted to peel my own skin off it was very cringy",8 "I have watched thousands of movies; Either this is for cool kids; Or I dont understand the movie; I dont get the 10 star reviews; This movie has good directing; But story writer made a long movie; could have ended in 100 min; Actors were great; there were many cringe scenes; But I didnt enjoy the movie; I felt like the concept was similer to De Dana Dan;",3 "This TV adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work of genius ""Sherlock Holmes"", in-cooperates plots from the classical stories, in an unexpected good modern interpretation. The structure of the stories (we will see more as the series goes on) and the characters are transported well into the 21st century and the acting is not bad at all. I can imagine that many people will think that this show came about, because we just had the (maybe debatable) pleasure of watching a very different movie adaptation just a year ago, but the only connection I could find - aside from the wilder hair - is the occasional musical inserts. They do sound a bit like the movie soundtrack. But it works quite well and help reminding the viewer of 19th century origins without detachment from the modern stetting. Apart from that and the obvious connection through the story, they have nothing in common. One of the elements which seem odd is the visual inserts, that offer more information to the scene. It gives the viewer the possibility to see a scene from Holmes' point of view. I say odd, but not bad. While they could be more imaginative, it still works out fine. The show could use a little bit of a lift, maybe a bit of a humorous touch - the original Holmes was filled with witty, often underlined critical and a dark sense of humor (quiet radical for its times) - and while there are hints of that, it seems to be too low. There are sequences you may wander off with your thoughts and that is never good for moving pictures. I am eagerly awaiting the next episode and look forward to some growth.",8 "First 2 hours very sliw and boring. The last 10 minutes of the movie has some action, in my opinion this is one of the worst Tarantino movie of all he's movies.",3 "13 reasons why ""Thirteen Reasons Why"" is a story about a girl who committed suicide and made tapes about why she did it. In my opinion I thought the movie was way over dramatic. If you were someone who likes dramas this would be a great story for you to watch. One thing I found that surprised me in a good way was the people that were picked to play the characters. I hope that gives you enough to decide whether or not to watch this show.",6 "This movie DID NOT need a remake. All the the new Disney live action remakes has been awful. Obviously just cash grabs, no soul and heart like the originals have. Wish they could just go back to 2D animation. Very disappointed in Disney.",2 "If you've ever read anything about Steven Spielberg, you will immediately recognize this movie as more or less Spielberg's own life. It's the kind of movie that will only appeal to a very small group of people -- mainly, other Spielbergs. There's a reason this movie was a big bomb at the box office. It's a pretentious self-serving look at the director's early life. And frankly, it wasnt an especially interesting childhood. For goodness sake, have some humility. Write a biography and let someone else turn it into a movie. I was bored out of my mind. In fact, I fell asleep for maybe 30 minutes int he middle. Move on.",2 "Tried so hard to be an epic musical from the fifties, failed miserably, Ryan is only a passable singer and a wooden actor. One wonders what the hype was all about and how desperate the academy was to nominate this film for an Oscar. Not a movie that I will be adding to my collection so that I can watch it again. Once was painful enough.",3 "If you love historical movie stuff about Hollywood then you'll love it. If not, you'll probably find it pretentious and incredibly boring, just like I did.",3 "The series starts off well with a good impression made by the main actor. Then in episode 5 and onvards the series goes straight into the CSI trap and takes a giant quality dip dive. Police SWAT team that handles weapons, footwork, positioning and movement as if they were a few months into service. Seasoned agency executives that spill it all out in an instant, during first interrogation. Please, give me a break. This could have been so much better.",5 "Just gave up on it half way through, just not engaging at all. Just a lot of fighting, shooting and gore. A million miles from a 10/10.",5 "Wow. This has enough action for five Michael Bay films. That didn't help this bad action film. Ryan Reynolds, like always does a few good one liners.

I don't think there is a part IV unless you count Star Wars A New Hope. But you shouldn't really mix up your films like that because it gets confusing. What are junk words, and why is my review being blocked in such a fashion. Is it due to the fect that I did not write enough of a review. Well, it's about gangsters and fighting and maybe some boxing too but it's not exactly Rocky because Sylvester The Cat is not in it. I think some famous people are in it, including the guy who does the ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME line and stuff like taht. I think he said that in the back of a taxi, and it might even have been in this film, although it might have been the firs one...Jurassic Park",5 "If I go to hell, they are going to play Christopher Nolan movies on repeat. This is my second - and last - movie of his that I am going to watch. To sum his movies up in a nutshell: they are boring, shallow and a waste of time. A twelve-year-old is capable of writing better stories. The plot (or: which plot?) was unnecessarily drawn out, put an emphasis on special effects, turned unnecessary details into long scenes, forgot to explain important details and had no plot or whatsoever. Not even Topher Grace could save this movie and I love this guy. I can only describe watching this as torture, the highlight was when the movie was over and I felt relief. If the good reviews on here are genuine, people truly lack depth and appreciation for intricate plots, a good story and emotional involvement. All I felt was boredom.",3 "First off, this was better than the last one but not by much. For the record, I think marvel has done some great films such as Iron Man, Captain America Civil War, Winter Soldier, The Avengers films, Guardians of the Galaxy 1, but the others have generally felt okay to meh. The new spidey once again has spidey needing a bunch of help from other ""avengers"" and even some ""other people whom I don't want to spoil"". Add to that, the increased screen time of the wanna-be MJ (I really can't stand the character, actress (if you can call her that) and the changing of a beloved character), a mellow-dramatic spiderman, and lame incorporation of past villians. The action is good but the sound is typical disney trash as it's too flat. Overall, there are some good things tossed in the film but it's not enough to bring it to being as good as Homecoming (even though I didn't think it was that great as well). I often feel as if the audiences of today have been fed so many bad films that they have become accustomed to bad films that if anything is slightly better than that it's considered GREAT. Add to this problem are the countless so called ""professional"" reviewers who constantly praise disney/marvel because they don't want to lose their precious free viewing to films before the public (disney has gone after reviewers for giving negative reviews). Basically, if you like the crap being put out I'm sorry for you, but it is what it is. This film is a easy pass and I wish I could get the hours back that I wasted seeing this.",4 "Short and Martin are close friends, but their onscreen chemistry sucks, and that's nothing new. Ms. Gomez saves this show. Anyone watching Steve Martins early movies knows what he can do. This is not it.",7 "This really is a waste of time. Where do I start? Bad acting, bad special effects, even worse story. Don't even get me started about the dialogues. It's one of those movies you even wished you never heard of it after you watched it. I'm not a climber but even I can see how lazy the movie writers were to not inform themselves about climbing rules or techniques in order to create a realistic image about how climbing is done. This is one of those movies that makes me think: Why? Why would you make this? Even just for quick bucks, this can't be anything else than boring for the producers to make. And participate as an actor? Say goodbye to your carreer. But: 2 stars 'casus of boobs. Don't watch it.",2 "I enjoyed Stranger Things, but everything in it was already done on The Twilight Zone.",8 "I love Marvel but quite frankly by 2nd episode I was bored by the violence, the lack of any back stories, character building and the unbelievable storyline. Go and watch something else instead something like Better Call Saul or Breaking Bad",3 Grippingly clever .. keeps you invested in the plot and the characters. But the ending! All the 'bad guys' launch into convulsive confessions with no sense of self preservation or logic. Maybe they too deep in their heart know that the show is ending.,8 "It just of Bold & Beautiful with fancy customs. Characters are bland. Cast is mediocre Dialogs are boring and tedious. Story line is one dimensional and predictable. Yes, the brother has a claim on the throne and yes this will lead to a conflict and yes the protagonist is stronger than people think... and most of all (and i think this is the most frustrating part) are So, I personally think that HBO should have invested in a better quality entertainment, as they are hoping to increase their user base. This is not the way forward, if you ask me.",3 "This was definitely one of the most interesting films I have seen in recent times and while its not perfect, its certainly a heck of a lot more worth watching than a lot of nonsense big hits that other stars and even SRK has participated in. The story is fairly simple but what is great is that it explores the whole idea of the relationship between Fans and stars. Not just movie stars, but any sort of public celebrity. I have seen first hand how crazy seemingly sane people become when they meet their favorite celebrities. That's why this film's Gaurav is less a villain and more a tragic figure. Outside of his obsession, he seemed like a genuinely likable and lovable man. But obsession is a dangerous thing and that's what this film goes into. It turns normal people into monsters. What is great is the star is a fascinating character too? He is normal in a way we don't imagine? He has a family and friends, he's cocky and arrogant, he gets angry and hurt. It all feels very human. And that's what makes the cat and mouse game so interesting. The tragedy of the characters is that the difference between the crazy person that Gaurav becomes and the good normal person he could have become is a matter of several ""ifs"". If only Aryan or Gaurav had made one other decision, things could have been so different. SRK is on fire in this film. Its definitely his best work since CDI and RNBDJ in terms of character. There are several scene that just stand out. Like the scene where Aryan and Gaurav first meet, when Gaurav comes inside Aryan's house, when Aryan imitates Gaurav. He's the lifeblood of this film and is on screen from beginning to end. He delivers a performance of boundless manic energy as Gaurav, and with slick charm as Aryan. Nobody else really has much of a role which is fine. The movie becomes a bit over the top towards the end but its constantly gripping, which is what helps. I doubt this will be a huge hit because it doesn't have any romantic or musical elements but I am very glad because this movie didn't need those elements. A very strong 8/10.",8 "What did I miss here? A brainwashed Hitler youth, realizes that Jews do not actually have horns, and becomes friendly with one. OMG. So incredibly profound. I have no issues with making a comedy about the Nazis. Just make sure to get a decent writer, who has some understanding of humanity. Not much here, i am afraid.",3 CGI is quite decent but unrealistic scenario kills me like frozing water in less than few minutes. It is so unrealistic because if water freezes so quickly so the characters should freezes too. I like science fiction but more science than fiction. Stuff like this kills quite decent CGI.,1 "Simply put, the best bollywood movie of 2020. Superb cast brilliant performance. You will experience all the emotions in this intertwined story telling.",10 "This is a very poor adaptation, the casting is a big miss. Joel, Sarah, Tess and especially Ellie are nothing like they were in the original game story. Maybe these are the best actors they could afford, I don't know. But they don't do a very good job. It is sad that many people will probably get their first experience of The Last of Us from watching this show, not knowing that the original story is so much more impactful. It is a fault of the casting, writing and direction. If you haven't played the game then I encourage you to do so, or at least watch a playthrough on YouTube. The show could have been amazing but the writers have failed to recapture any of the original's magic.",1 Really enjoying this version. Fingers crossed they do a season 2!,9 "It is sad that a movie with a cast like this is so dull and dreary. If I ranked movies from Charlie Kaufmann scripts, this would be better than movie about the orchids but nowhere near as good as Human Nature and Being John Malkovich. Kaufmann seems to reuse the sequence in Being John Malkovich in which the actor goes through his own portal. Whereas those scenes were brief, it comprises most of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Oddly enough, there isn't much development of either Jim Carrey or Kate Winslett's character beyond the grief caused by their relationship. We knew who Lila and Dr. Bronfmann were in Human Nature. Ask yourself what you know about the afflicted souls in this movie. All you will come up with is that they are an unhappy bunch. I am a big fan of all the stars of this movie, save for Mark Ruffalo, I mean, really. They can't save this movie individually or collectively. Maybe it wasn't in the script. Maybe it is the director's goof. Make no mistake. This movie stinks.",5 This is the first time in tamil cinema to attempt the no song and female lead and they succeeded in it as it both gained positive in criticts review and box office collection this is MUST WATCH MOVIE .I personally like that a suttle performance of Karthi and his daughter sentiment and his acting and attitude.,9 This movie was quite hyped up because of the 3D and wonderful CGI. It really does live up to those expectations. However that could not really safe the movie's poor plot. It's hard to be original with so many stories floating around. Every story/movie takes idea from some other story. However Avatar does it pretty blatantly almost making it look like Pocahontas or Dances with Wolves but with an alien theme. I also thought the movie dragged on way too long and found myself pretty bored after 2 hours so I had to watch it in 2 days. Action and CGI fans will probably love it. If you like a good story or fantasy I suggest to stay away from this. The problem also lies within the title. It could make people believe it was based on the animated series with the same name but it's something totally different. I think I'm generous giving it a 3.,3 "I was waiting for this series impatiently and oh what a disappointment! Halfwaythrough the season nothing connects, the characters are flat and boring, God knows what the plot is other than Caville wandering around and speaking from his belly like a ventriloquist, the witches are ridiculous, there seems to be no definite plot, just a bunch of random things happening. None of the characters is likeable, Caville is a very good looking man in reality but that white hair does not suit him at all. I was bored out of my mind and dropped it. The people with good reviews might be blind.",1 Anticlimax ending. I expected roo much from this movie. But its too bad,4 "I personally feel like the team has worked hard for all that scenes and captured that in so nice way. Film is so inspirational and will definitely motivate you. I will congratulate child milk ha(Master Jabtej Singh) for his tremendous work.Faran has worked out like anything to get this shape. Dialogues are perfect and on time. The side characters are so entertaining. Cinematography and Screenplay both are high standard.You can find some advantages of India Army. Also this film reflects some India Pakistan history. It gives a moral at the end of the show. So for all go and have a taste of this good work. Salute for Flying Shikh.",10 "The 1st season and 2nd was imo the best out of the series, the 3rd was by far the worst for me unfortunately Ani ruined it I found her character very annoying and I just didn't like watching it, the 4th season I kind of liked towards the end, it was great and VERY emotional and I was actually pretty sad it was the perfect way to end the show with all the characters from previous seasons included in the last episode. The acting was fine for the most part clay in season 4 was great, Justin (my favourite in the show) was very good and played his character really well, I would talk about the others but I'd be her for a while. Anyway only 6/10 the 3rd season made me drop it down.",6 Could have been alot better but it what it is. Can't believe they are basically fighting Antifa. Love the banter between WS and Falcon. Doesn't touch Wanda Vision or Loki.,6 "Why do they always want to complicate a good idea with boring, way too stupid, unconvincing arguments. Smart people doing stupid things for drama. It's getting so boring after two episodes. The ""smart"" criminal dr Smith being the most boring of all. Bring exiting threats and intergalactic challenges. Quit the predictable plot changes based on bad and stupid choices and idiotic false drama.",5 "I think this film was a distinctly average film. Though it flows well and De Niro's performance is, as always, superb, the ending is well how can I put it, non-existent. The ending is a non-ending. It isn't one of those where one thinks, ""good film but what a crap ending"" because there isn't any ending so one is left dazzled when the credits come up mid-plot! Worth a watch but don't say I didn't warn you! Make your own decision though! In case anybody watching didn't know, this is Jodie foster's first film so watch it for that reason if nothing else. If you want to watch a really good, thought-provoking film watch ""once upon a time in America"" by Sergio Leone. 4 hour film and it leaves you wanting more!",6 They presented Bangladesh as a very poor and country with no rules. Even though story of the movie is very cheap.,6 "The biggest issue with this film is that it plays out on a story just as complex as a ' children's stage play'. The flow of the narrative felt too fast paced in the first half of the film and the development towards the climax was painfully predictable. But, on a positive light; the film would never let you fall asleep because the emotional grip necessary to not get bored will be established by the several sensational music numbers throughout this film. Watch this musical for Hugh Jackman and for its wonderful musical score which would delight you...",5 "I just hate this Luther bustard , No 1.... Physic depending morons are always the ultimate cause of total destruction . No brain. My poor klaus and Vaniya.. :( Luther is responsible for Vaniya's rage .... He is responsible for the apocalypse...a total coward .",7 It was a good tv show however it was predictable to an existent and had some plot holes. But it was full of action and lovable characters that you will learn to love but yet again it was vary rushed but I have hopes for season 2 .,6 "Spider-Man 2 is an awesome movie. This movie has all the elements of a major Summer Blockbuster plus one more thing: A GOOD PLOT! I was really impressed at the depth of this plot. This second Spider Man movie really developed the character of Peter Parker. Peter Parker is just an ordinary kid who was blessed with supernatural power. The now famous line from SpiderMan is ""With great power comes great responsibility"" This movie dwells into why their is such a great responsibility. I really believe that with writing and special effects that the SpiderMan franchise is set for years. I expect at least 3 more movies with huge opening generating a need for a next movie. It is hard to write an in-depth review of this movie without giving away the plot, so I will not. If you like the SpiderMan T.V. show, comic book, or SpiderMan the movie part one you will love this movie. Go and see this movie and hey adults it's not just for the kids. I give this movie a 9 out of 10! Spider Man, Spider Man who does whatever a Spider can!",9 "Great photography, costume on point; however humor got stuck somewhere between WWII and 2020. If you are looking for a history fiction twist taken out of 5 year old kid brainstorm, this movie might be for you.",1 "Gross defects: 1) I can't hear the dialogs. Sound effects and background music are markedly louder than dialogs. This is a gross technical deficiency. You need to rise the volume way too high to obtain audible speech. That's probably alright if you are in a theater, where loudness isn't a concern. Very few movies managed to have such a gross audio defect. 2) Pompous digital video effects like cars exploding and firing guns are shamelessly unrealistic. Shot the gun: no recoil at all. Car explodes: only a fireball superimposed, not a glass broken, nor the car moves 1 inch. Seriously? Unpleasant plot and storytelling for the rest. IMHO.",3 "The introduction, the introspection, the needs, greeds, cause everything was spectacular. The plot twist was even more. The way it ended was also very much usual. One of the best South Indian Thrillers.",9 "As an action flick, it's not too shabby. Storyline pretty bad and highly predictable. Passes an horror so, just don't expect too much.",6 "Everything that needs to be said is in the title. Oh yea, and Geralt is smiling far too often for someone who should be stripped of all emotion.....",1 "Awful, boring and not funny. Disappointing. It seems Marvel can do anything and it's considered genius. I'm not doing that.",3 "I really enjoyed the movie. The acting was amazing. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling was amazing. I just thought it was too on the nose. Like the message was literally forced in your face. It seemed lazy to me. I went in thinking it was going to be similar to The Truman Show and I wished it had've taken some elements from it because it would've made it much more powerful if so. I'm not going to spoil the ending but I thought the writers just gave up. Overall for me it's a 6/10. Good film but that's all. Definitely could've been less preachy. Ultimately, it's nice movie to see and I'd see it again at some point but it wasn't great.",6 "I've seen all episodes of GOT 5 times. Think I love it? Absolutely! Just watched EP 7 of this thoughtless exercise. It finally showed some teeth but I don't think many folks will get this far. Not one single actor has even a little charisma. What a waste. Instead of changing actors mid-season, they should have begun with the main characters and used the young ones in flashbacks. A complete lack of vision and imagination. And where is the beautiful King's Landing? Some of it must exist. Did the 7 kingdoms just pop up in the following 400 years, or what? They thought that a story about one family would hold our attention? I'll watch the rest of the episodes but I'm in no hurry.",5 "The show attempts to be a family drama and a romantic comedy at the same time, failing miserably at both. Cliches everywhere, the script is as artificial as the character development. The acting is below average to say the least, and the villain has no relevance whatsoever. So many inconsistencies, bad science, ridiculous dialogues and one dimensional chracters reveal this is nothing but a kid's show. Better than Dora the explorer only in the special effects department.",2 """Venom: Let there be carnage"" does not have a proper plot and it does not even try. Admittedly, if it tried to present itself as anything more than what it put forward, it would be a definitively worse movie. It senselessly tries to recreate the best and most enjoyable parts of its previous movie - doing so without the brilliant subtext, subtlety or novelty of its predecessor. As a result, the talent of the cast is wasted and any potential for something improved is dead on arrival. And all that is left is uninspired silliness just for the sake of it. I imagine when obnoxious Hollywood directors talk down comic book movies, ""Venom: Let there be carnage"" is exactly the kind of movie they have in mind, and Iron Man (2008) to a lesser extent. Much has been made of the movie's end credit scene; I think it is meaningless. Overall, ""Venom: Let there be carnage"" is a disappointing movie, especially if compared to its predecessor.",4 "The acting is great. Truly great! There are som interesting experiments with camera, pans etc. And this is when this review should have ended. The manuscript is worst of the worst AWFUL. OK i see the ambition in making good art and they try to do something unique here. BUT UNIQUE IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD! I hated this movie. I really hated it but forced myself to see it till ending. During the years, I saw reviews from other movies when someone type lik... ""Can I have theese 2 hours of my life back"" and I always thought ""Cmon it cant be THAT bad"". Well, YES IT CAN. I wanted to rate this sleeping pill a 0 in score, but gave it a 2 due to my humble respect to very good actors. When end credits rolled, I was just angry because i felt it gave me a totally wasted evening. I do NOT recommend this movie.",2 "Finally the show is on! If you can overlook the difference in appearance from video game Ellie (based upon former Ellen Page, now Elliot Page) to tv show Ellie without thinking of Game of thrones and Lady Lyanna of the house of Mormont or missing baby Yoda, then you are about to enjoy the joyride. Perfectly detailed, so far faithful to the game, good acting, good setting and environment, it feels like we are playing the game all over again. Eager to see what's coming after this successful first episode. Pedro Pascal delivers as usual and it's not a surprise that Bella Ramsey becomes her character in such a convincing way. She is a young promise without a doubt, but her face in no way resembles the original Ellie's. With luck her acting will be so good that we will put the other Ellie behind without effort. If you have played the game and you are nostalgic of those many hours in the dark looking for the light, this show is for you. If you haven't played the game but you are in the dark after the season finale of TWD lacking a decent zombie/infected/ fungus show, look for the light in this one. If they manage to keep the audience on their toes and create good character relations, perhaps this will be with us for a few seasons. I certainly hope so.",6 "I just stuck this one on after the hype had died down and was pleasantly surprised. Yes the apocalyptic premise is way over-used and in this case formulaic but I found the cast excellent, the characters engaging and the symbolism striking. Consider the pregnant mum not yet reconciled to motherhood being forced through circumstance to become the saviour of not only her own son, but also a relative strangers' daughter. Social media as a means for this entity to spread the chaos much faster. The Republican drunkard in Malkovic helping to ""make the Apocalypse great again!"" And of course the impact of humanity on our planet making an apocalypse of some sort inevitable. I totally get people saying there were lots of unanswered questions, and it's a very long way from a happy ending, but it's really good cinema and worth a couple of hours of your life!",7 "Good first episode, well built and structured. Lot of interesting good actors that I'm looking forward to see them perform in the rest of the season. Plot was interesting with the succession of the King. The dialogue was just good enough and hope they keep quality here. The last GOT seasons were not so great due to the huge loss of dialogue quality.",8 "I am quite annoyed that this movie has such a high rating. I felt insulted by it's simplicity, it's lack of dialogue, and the dialogue that was there being terrible, it's lackluster character development and the incessant looping of the music. Seriously the music was like seven words just changed around throughout the entire movie. It was two hours of looping of a really bad song with a few lines of horrible dialogue sprinkled in there. The dancing was lots of spinning and arm-waving. You get to know NO characters in the movie other than Barnum. Every other character is just filler, fodder, empty actors with no story development, who are just there to wave their arms in garish makeup. I feel like a lot of people were just maybe fooled by the poppy, upbeat tune and the constant spinning and swirling going on that they failed to notice how bad this movie is! The slap in the face here is that I LOVE musicals. And I hated this one.",2 "Well, this movie managed to get 5 stars from me only because it had an okay cast, and okay story, and most of all it made people try it out in real life. Goes to show you how dumb some americans really are. I have to appreciate the movie taking advantage of that at least, even though I'm sure they did not mean to.",5 "It can easily be argued that The Godfather Part 2 is the greatest sequel ever crafted in the history of film, and possibly a better film than its predecessor. It is always a difficult task to better a film in its sequel, doubly so when the original film is a masterpiece of cinematic perfection such as the Godfather was. However, Francis Ford Coppola proved that it is possible to improve on perfection. The Godfather Part II is brilliant in the counterpoint created between Vito Corleone's rise to power and Michael Corleone's tragic fall from grace. Each character does what they must in order to strengthen the Corleone family. But, Michael's failures are made even more tragic when juxtaposed against Vito's successes. Whereas Vito was able to strengthen his family's bonds, Michael frays them to tragic ends. Coppola yet again proves his understanding of the relationship between camera and performance. It is not enough to have a lush cinematic experience without engaging performances, and Coppola is able to achieve this masterful balance. The performances by the entire cast are as picture perfect as is possible, and the interaction between even the smallest roles are pristine. Noteworthy is the scene in the Washington Hotel where Kaye (Diane Keaton) opens the eyes of Michael (Al Pacino) to the depths their relationship has achieved. It remains one of the most powerfully performed scenes to ever have been captured on film. Like it's predecessor, The Godfather Part II is one of those rare moments of cinematic perfection, well deserving of its place of reverence in the history of film.",10 "Black mirror is a modern science fiction thriller. The show tackles topics which are scarily possible and make you question everything about the world. The concept is intriguing. I've noticed that most if not every episode starts off as a utopian fiction and all the characters look happy using the new technology. Everything seems right until the turning point. The start of every episode feels like the calm before the storm. The downfall comes after the turning point and honestly, this is the best part. The downfall shows an eerily possible reality of the world we live in. For the most part, in these downfalls, the use of the technology leads to the antagonist experiencing trauma. After each episode, personally I breathe a huge sigh of relief as I finally wake up from the illusion which is the Black Mirror episode and realise that none of this is happening to me. I would recommend this show to anyone who is looking for a science fiction thriller and is mature enough to handle the immersive, thought provoking episodes.",9 "The Bangla language and Bangladeshi people, more accurately Dhaka's residents, were not accurately portrayed in Extraction. Yet it marks the beginning of an era where the stories of the capital of this small nation are being told by the Hollywood infrastructure to the whole world for the very first time on this scale. Events like these are important for Bangladesh and its filmmakers to create the urge in them to craft such stories on a massive scale for the global audience; stories which will be the accurate representations of the rich history, heritage and diversity of Dhaka. Except for the smartly handled production design choices, action packed fight sequences, and Hemsworth's Asgardian god like charms nothing else really works in the movie. The screenplay is poorly written and lacks emotion. Though this is a spoiler free review yet there is really nothing more to the story line. The film feels like a two hour long fight sequence with some bandage breaks like a PUBG match on your phone. We see a Bangladeshi drug lord kidnap an Indian crime lord's son and Tyler is unleashed to extract him from Dhaka. But why the big names of the subcontinental criminal underworld came to this rivalry, why these desperate measures are unclear. Another problematic thing is the portrayal of Bangladesh's law enforcement agencies. Every agency including the police, a fictional force named ""Elite"" which looked like Bangladesh's Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), and even the Bangladeshi military were portrayed to the worldwide audience that they were controlled and bribed by Dhaka based international drug cartels which is fictional but still problematic. It paints a picture to the world that Dhaka is like Medellin in Colombia during the Pablo Escobar era which is far from true. The screenplay could have supported some residents or law enforcement officers who were not criminals or involved in drug rings to balance this but every scene of Dhaka felt very wrongly portrayed. Then comes the main issue of the whole film, the Indian actors who played Bangladeshi roles. Not a single one of them was talking Bangla in a ""Dhakaite"" accent or even a Bangladeshi one. Some Indian actors were completely butchering the language and most Dhaka based characters in the film sounded like they had a West Bengal based accent and pronunciation. Bangladeshi netizens were quick to respond to this error and complained that the producers of the film did not give attention to the language at all and how no one in Dhaka speaks like the way these characters in this film do. The creators of the project should have kept in mind that Bangla language is the quintessential element of Bengali identity and they are the only nation who had given their lives for their mother tongue. So a faulty dialect of this language will become a sensitive issue for the Netflix users of this country. Another huge issue was the acting of the kidnapped kid Ovi, played by Indian actor Rudraksh Jaiswal. As one of the lead characters of the film and having a huge screen time his acting weakness bores the viewers. Most of his dialogue deliveries are typical Bollywood melodrama and in some scenes beside Hemsworth he seems redundant and ridiculous.",1 "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (QSQT) along with Maine Pyar Kiya revolutionized Hindi Cinema. The film was the first of its kind. It was a big hit and in effect sparked the inspiration of love stories in the 90's like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai",9 "It's absurd. A billionaire that wants to help the world by gathering insanely attractive people, that also all happen to be weapons/combat experts, to help the world by sloppily killing bad guys. Michael Bay movies have convinced me the man has never popped the hood of an engine or lit a fire in his life, considering everything in the movie blows up to city leveling degrees. (Billionaire wants to save world by taking out bad guys, sooooo those buildings gotta go) I don't know how long the movie was, because I blacked out during the slow motion walk scenes and plan explanation montages. What I'm trying to say is, the movie was long and bad. It's filled with cheesy one liners and product placement like you wouldn't believe. I've never wanted to drive a Ford F-150 while wearing RayBans more in my life. If you can make it to the end...keep a watchful eye out for the parkour kid's boots as he's walking. Then get ready to lose all faith in the film industry.",1 "Massively overrated, character development is quite solid, but some of the worst special effects I've ever seen.",4 Keanu reeves is terrible the other actors are boring at best but this films action is fine the concept is great it's just the awful script some of the effects are really horrible looking at a lot of points but it still looks ok i truly wanted to like it but i just could not i don't know why it is being called one of the best movies of all time it has a grey ugly look to it to and again keanu reeves is just so terrible because he is a terrible actor and if you say oh but he was good in john wick he is good in that because he hardly ever talks this movie was only popular because the effects were good at the time but now they are terrible looking this movie should have just stayed in the matrix it's self.,2 "Another DC disappointment but then again, besides Wonder Woman, it's the only kind of movie they make. I felt like I was watching an episode of Power Rangers which I never watched even as a child because it was so ridiculous. The difference is, Power Rangers didn't take themselves seriously. I don't think DC means to have terrible effects (particularly the 7 deadly sins) and writing. I know this is a kid's but that's exactly what it is. There's very little subtle, snappy humor that will keep adults entertained. Between terrible acting (save Zachary Levi), terrible script and terrible effects, it's just a cheap Nickelodeon-like superhero take on Tom Hank's ""Big"".",6 "After long long time I watched such amazing movie. Anurag, Abhishek Bacchan, Rajkumar, Pankaj, Aditya, Rohit, Geeta, Babita, ASHA, Praele kya must expression and acting the wow. You all guys are great. Currently I am 24 old or Ludo aisa movie h jab m 60 Ka ho jaaunga tab bhi dekhna Pasand karunga.",10 "Wow! This a fantastic series full of action, romance and magic! What else do you need in a great TV show?",10 I honestly can't say too specifically why this movie is awful because I only watched maybe 20 minutes before shutting it off. I love musicals and was looking forward to this after hearing all the hype. Big disappointment. From the beginning I was just bored senseless. and I got tired of trying to figure out the point of the story. I kept hoping it would get better but I finally decided life is too short to waste time on something this tiresome. Maybe someday when I'm feeling particularly masochistic I'll give it another shot.,1 Tom cruise and his dyed black hair. Come on this film is boring. This is a tom cruise movie for tom cruise and it's too long. Dull,4 "William H.Macy is my fave actor at the moment. He has been in a long list alongside such names like John Cusack, Kevin Spacey, and Matt Damon. To me, Macy makes this film a whole lot better than it should be. To me, it's a very basic plot with an overall average acting performance bar the unbeatable Mr. Macy. Frances McDormand got an oscar for her performance. I couldn't believe this after watching the film because to me she comes across as a very dim-witted talentless actress. Of course, a lot of people would say that was what her character's personality was like, but to me, I see her as not a dimwitted character, but as a poor actress who is failing to make a connection with me. I despised her in this film. Macy on the other hand, played his character with such excellence, that this film was the reason why I love the guy as much as I do now. His character is perfect, he says the silly lines perfectly, and when he's in a pickle, I love the way he makes it seem like nothing's happening... the scene in the motel bathroom as an example. The storyline as I previously mentioned is very basic. A car salesman needs money, so he hires two guys to hold his wife hostage, and then claim a huge ransom off her wealthy father. Things go wrong though due to the mistakes of the two criminals, and then it's a case of the hot-shot police officer to find the criminals who've left a bloody trail in their wake. It doesn't sound gripping stuff, tho neither The Usual Suspects on its back cover and we all know about that don't we? So Fargo... it is good, don't get me wrong. Some of the acting performances are top notch but don't expect a twisting crime thriller... it's more comedy than serious! PROS: + Macy + The conversations within are pretty funny. + Steve Buscemi plays a good crook. CONS:",6 This Mission Impossible was not as good as the first two that came out. First Tom Cruise is way to old to be running through the movies like he use to when he was young. As I watching him running on the top of the building I saw where it was not him. His face changed and his butt got bigger. I could see where it was edited. I am very disappointed in this Mission Impossible. It's time to let it go. I would like to see him come back with the Mummy part 2 but I do hope they have a very good story to tell for him to act in a a rival for him to combat with his new face. I don't want it too end of being like Ghost Rider part 2. It was a very poor movie. I couldn't believe how they down graded Nicholas Cage to a dope addicted to combat being the Ghost Rider. They could have done a better story then that. I was so disappointed. If only you would stick to the animated versions and find more creative writers to enhance and bring in a better storyline then you would have a better high rating an people around the block waiting to watch. Lets get it together or leave it alone!,5 "First of all I've not played the game or read the books so this is first exposure to The Witcher. This series clearly wanted to be the next GOT but production quality sits somewhere between a teen BBC drama and GOT. Average acting throughout coupled with an average script fails to draw you in to believing the characters or settings. Some nice fit scenes. Cavill is a bit wooden but from other reviews he seems to be portraying the character well so unsure if he's average or if that's just what Gerald is like.",5 "This one was MUCH better than the first!!!!! Idc what others say. It was practically the first one but hyped, and the post credits out did it.. mcu here we come baby.",8 "It's ironic that with the week that The Falcon & The Winter Soldier came to Disney+ the next film in my Marvel review series is the one that saw both characters debut - Captain America The Winter Soldier. I watched the film today and here is my review for it. The premise of the film sees Steve Rogers trying to adapt to the modern world working for SHIELD when a mysterious enemy called The Winter Soldier targets him. Main Character Chris Evans once again plays Captain America AKA Steve Rogers and he is fantastic in this film, he has transitioned from the naive boy scout and is a really well developed character here. Evans has a charm and charisma that really works for the character and makes him so likeable but you see how his ideals really come out and conflict with this modern world that he has become a part of. He is great in the action scenes and provides the emotion needed for a really great super hero. Supporting Characters Scarlett Johansson plays Black Widow again and she is also great here and a spotlight is really placed on her here more then in previous films and she shines. Her character is given really great development and you see how her friendship with Rogers has changed and adapted since The Avengers and it makes her the most interesting she has been in the films here. Samuel L Jackson is always great as Nick Fury and he is the same here, his character is examined closely here and the dynamic between his methods and Rogers believes is highlighted and explored in an interesting way. He is also part of one of my favourite MCU action scenes in this film so there is that. Robert Redford plays Alexander Pierce and I always find it crazy that one of his last roles is in a Marvel film and he is also really good, he is just a solid hand in his role and he seems to be having a good time. This is the first time we see Anthony Mackie as The Falcon and I actually forgot just how good he is here, he is a really nice character here and his down to earth nature really fits well alongside the Avengers we already see on screen. Sebastian Stan plays The Winter Soldier and this is one of the best villains in the MCU, he is mysterious and a really awesome threat to the heroes and feels like he is truly capable of taking out Captain America. Story The story for this film is really great, the whole character of Captain America gets explored in depth and this film has a clear message to it which it shows in a mature and unique way. Then there is the interesting stuff involving the villain of the film and what that means, with twists that are genuinely surprising it mixes to have a story that will keep you engaged throughout. Script The script is also fantastic, a really good mix of humour and drama. This film is funny when it needs to be but it also hits some emotional moments that feel deserved and like they actually have weight to them. The film keeps you on your toes with its developments and it is written very well in this case which rises it above other films in its genre. Style This films style is one of the best parts of the film. The action scenes are some of the best you will see in not only comic book films but also action films in general, this film made Cap one of the truly best fighters in the MCU and that is great to see. Hell, every character is great in their action sequences and they all feel so different that it never gets dull. Overall Overall, this is a truly epic film. The Winter Soldier has intrigue, great characters, great action scenes and twists and turns. This is one of the best MCU films there are and comic book film fans and just film fans alike will love it. Rating - 10/10.",10 "Things was awful muck. This review doesn't contain any spoilers because it wasn't compelling enough to entice me to watch to the end. So glad I was able to watch it on Netflix so I saved the 30euro it would have cost me and my wife to go to the movies. It was literally impossible to give a damn about who or what this group of people were about. It was cartoonish but without any humour. There's going to be a murder but there was no real believable underlying tension. The characters are so broadly drawn as to be without any real depth. I'm having real trouble understanding the critic score of over 80? Like the movie, it doesn't stack up.",1 "Ok show - I don't see why they had to make it about black and white people. It would have been much better without this political underline. The story was average at best. I expected so much more. This was not a patch on WANDAVISION. Very slow burn with anti-climax at the end.",4 "First 3 episodes in and i think she is a credible Elizabeth Holmes, mostly, except that she is way too pretty. Otherwise, her acting on this role works for me and largely keeps the grip on the show. Looking forward to the rest of the season.",8 "The first three episodes felt as if they weren't sure where the show was going. There was some cheesy dialogue and a few overused tropes. That being said, the second half of the series really came to fruition. Character arcs were moving and satisfying. A strong finish that will spark many future MCU projects, all while letting the audience find out just who Sam Wilson and James ""Bucky"" Barnes are at the core of their being.",7 "Iron Man 2 follows the events of the first Iron Man and takes a turn to change the series into what we know now as the MCU. With many cast members coming back for the sequel we are introduced to a lot of new and fun faces to the series as well. With the introduction to many new beloved characters many fans have fell in love with with every installment added to the Marvel series. Story wise with Iron Man 2 has dropped slightly since the first, feeling more like a bridging movie to set up other movies and the future Avengers movie that came out two years after Iron Man 2. With the introduction of many now beloved faces including Black Widow, War Machine, and the Iconic Nick Fury with Agent Phil Coulson too. This film though did give us a more of an understanding with the arc reactor in Tony's chest and the overall negative aspects of him using it and the Iron Man suit too. Alongside with giving us a darker side of Tony's father, Howard Stark and the more darker stuff he did before his mysterious death 1991. Jon Favreau once again directs the hell out of this film. Feeling more updated and bigger than the fantastic first film. With the use of long uncut takes in many beautiful scenes and action packed ones as well. And with Favreau acting in the film with a much bigger part than the first film, he made himself serve very much as the comic relief in some very action packed scenes and very serious scenes as well. That was the one thing with this film is that it felt much more comical than the first film, which had splashes of comedy put throughout mainly done by Tony Stark himself in very awkward scenes to write them off a lot better. Iron Man 2 though, Many characters just come off as comedians like Sam Rockwell's Justin Hammer is just all around comical and is suppose to serve as a driving force for the main antagonist but comes off as mainly a little prod that keeps poking the antagonist until he breaks out yelling. And that is where I come to the script, a hand full of the lines in this film feel very forced and rushed to either rapidly pass the story forward or to get off some supposedly funny joke that will sometimes come off as just awful and unfunny all around. But the other majority of lines and scenes in this film do have a lot of power to them like the interrogation scene between Tony and Ivan and the phone call too later in the film. Very powerful and gives an almost 'cat and mouse' feel to the film on who will outsmart the other in this race to kill one another. And of course the writing for Black Widow was amazing with the different dialogue and tones she has to do for the different personalities she had to pull off in this film to be that 'agent' status throughout. Action and special effects wise definitely grew a lot more since the first film with many more action scenes and drastically improvement on the CGI work and fight choreographing too to it. Feels a lot more natural during the whole film, thanks to Favreau and his brilliant directing too with it. Iron Man 2 is definitely a let down to the near perfect first film but it definitely is a fun one to watch with its unique characters and bigger and badder fights. Iron Man 2 gets a 7.5/10",7 "Unfortunately a waste of time... i was waiting for this but after two episodes i just coldest watch it any more. what a disappointment, the visual effects are pretty good aside from the robot/alien that looks like a cheep Halloween costume, all the rest is rubbish.",1 "Witty, fast paced, great 80's nods & a cliff hanger which will keep me coming back for more. Well done!",9 "Hello ladies and gentlemen. We're going to be talking about Annabelle Comes Home. With how popular The Conjuring Universe is, I won't be explaining the whole story to save you some time. Your welcome. Anyway, this is a straightforward movie. Ed and Lorraine Warren play a very small part in this movie which I thought was interesting. Instead, the movie focuses on their daughter Judy Warren (played by Mckenna Grace), her baby sitter Mary Ellen (Madison Iseman), and Daniela Rios (played by Katie Sarife). So Mary Ellen is a sweet girl and Daniela is the skeptic that kind of thinks everything is a joke and wants to explore these haunted items. I think you guys get the idea. So here we go. So I did appreciate that they kept the foundation simple. Going into this movie I thought it was going to be cluttered given the trailers with all the spirits being let loose but it was just a battle between Judy Warren and fitting into society with such a different upbringing. It's her birthday, but she's been bullied so it's not looking to hot for her when it comes to friends/spirits following her. There are some subtle moments in the beginning that are a bit creepy and kind of set the tone for the movie. There's some comedic moments that were a bit much i thought but i wouldn't say it takes away from the movie really. What I didn't like too much about this film was that there was no main storyline. The Conjuring movies usually have some great story mlines that add mystery to the movie and kind of makes it worth watching. In this movie all this happened in one evening so the storyline in this movie is that this girl Daniela touched everything and let Annabelle out. That's literally it. On the other hand, since this happened in one night it does make you feel like you're with them in the movie and really draws you into the horror that's happening. Another bright piece for me was the sub plot with Daniela and her deceased father. The first part of the movie she comes off as kind of a spoiled bossy brat, but as the movie continues, you get the idea that she's just hurting from losing her father and isn't all that bad. There is also a love interest that's kind of thrown in there. They give it enough but it is kind of just there. I don't know how i feel about it. Now back to the movie as a whole. You're probably thinking, ""no storyline, no Ed and Lorraine Warren, what's happening?"" So what I always like about The Conjuring is that the scares are all really well done. They do throw a lot at you but they do give explanations about all the spirits that are soon to come. There is one spirit in particular that I would love to see more of. You'll figure it out when you watch it. There is one other part as well that left me speechless. It's about half way through and happens to Daniela. It was something that made my jaw drop and I can't wait to talk about it with more people. I also felt that Judy Warren really shined in this movie. Yeah, she's been in pretty much all the movies but with very small roles. This movie is all her and she really took the opportunity and ran with it. I'm really excited for her and to see what else she comes with in the future. Not surprising, but this movie also opens quite a few doors for future movies and I hope they come through. This movie is worth a watch for sure, but idk if it's a must-see in theaters. If you love The Conjuring like I do then yeah, see it in the movies and support it. If not, then wait for a Redbox. All in all, looking at this movie objectively, I'm giving it a 6.8/10",7 "Why did they bother remaking this - and remaking it badly? Did we really need a reboot of this series? Who makes these decisions? It seems like only yesterday I saw the first version and from memory it was far more entertaining and less painful to watch. This is not even better CGI. The script was labored, the acting was dull, the action scenes lifted it momentarily but it really felt like it had all been done before and was more fun. Why bother making it - why bother seeing it? Yawn. Yawn. Yawn.",2 "Death Note is a highly acclaimed anime series that presents a unique and compelling story. The story revolves around a notebook falling from the sky, which enables a human to kill an individual whose name is written in it. The protagonist, Yagami Light, uses this power to create a utopia where he is god and punishes criminals for a perfect society. However, the question remains whether killing individuals who have done wrong and will do so again is right. Death Note raises complex moral questions and challenges viewers' morals, making it a highly acclaimed anime series. The series' first 15 episodes are filled with suspense as the characters' methods for identifying each other are explored. However, the second arc is criticized for being unnecessary and potentially causing the series to lose some of its luster. If rated separately, the first would receive a 15/10 rating, while the second would receive a 9/10 rating. Despite these flaws, Death Note's intelligent story deserves an overall 10/10 rating. Anime characters Light and L are fascinating and intelligent, possessing a captivating yet insane personality. They are an appealing pick for the game because of their distinct and endearing qualities. A confusing and reckless disaster, Light's calm, calculating figure is propelled by his ambition of conquest with the Death Note. His metamorphosis from a cool, collected figure to a rambunctious mess is a clear example of his character development; other characters also exhibit this, albeit less dramatically.",8 Snoozefest deluxe. Would not recommend watching this movie.,4 Good. Fun. Long in the tooth. Would have been better minus 15 to 20 minutes and without so many flashing back and forth in the timeline.,7 If you want to watch a movie with character motivations or a plot that makes any sense what so ever. avoid this. if you just want to watch a movie witg good action scenes and dont care about anything else. enjoy,3 "All the bad reviews are from Pakistan's here😂. The movie is a perfect execution to be honest. Not too much of emotional drama, but it stick to the point and delivered. A fantastic watch !!",10 Worse movie I had seen for the last 10 years. Annoying movie to much talking and not funny. Adam Sandler is a good actor but not in this movie! Had to get my money back.,3 1st hour and a half in I was ready for it toend so long and dragged out the last 30-45 mins made for good watching but that's it,4 "24 is the best! I've never been hooked on a show the way I am with this one. Amazing talent (especially Kiefer), great writers, awesome story lines...TV doesn't get better than this!! I work in a video store, and one day I noticed a guy earing up season one of 24...I talked to him for a few minutes to find out what kind of movies he likes, then I told him that he should rent the first disc of 24. If he didn't like it I would give him a free rental next time he came in. Well, as it turns out, he loved it! After that he came into my store every week to ask if i needed him to tape the show for me while I was at work (which of course I didn't need because I just made sure I was always home that night). He gave me updates from anything he found out online about when the new season was starting, new characters coming, old characters leaving, etc.. He was hooked! His wife was too, but not quite as much as he was. To make a long story short, if you haven't seen this show yet...what are you waiting for? Even my mother (in her 60's) started watching this year and loves it.",10 "Contains No Spoilers . I will keep it short n sweet since there are many reviewers better than me . Read all the reviews , few were good but some were paid i guess .(Honestly and I am not a Salmaniac or whatever you call me) Movie was good and highly enjoyable for a SRK Fan but I think if you are a neutral movie goer , Think twice that this Movie deserves your bucks or not . Direction was good and Acting was also pretty good , But When You compare script and story , it does lags behind . In Short , For A SRK FAN - Go n Watch , You won't get disappointed .

I really liked The color and The whole vibe from the show ...the Scores is just amazing also The ending was incredible i thank the ending in loki is better than Wandavision and the falcon and the winter soldier... and I am very very very excited to see The whole multiverse in the mcu.,9 "What a messy story. Each episode proved to me. That Mr. Editor was gone for vacation and the Mr. Assistance put the whole negatives in a mixer. This seemed to be a match to confuse the watchers. Free advice, salt makes dish more delicious but too much salt makes it salty. I never saw any episode till the end because i fell asleep.",1 The kid had to be the dumbest SOB on earth. Rest of the film was pretty good although bizarre AF.,7 What the hell is wrong with people in horror movies?,1 "I have the same problems with this film as with the first Spidey -and the new Star Wars flicks for that matter. Too much sappy, melodramatic horse pucky interferes with a perfectly fine story and awesome action sequences. Sure, the characters need to develop but this is a COMIC BOOK story directed by a fantastic, stylistic director. It should be a fantastic, stylish, comic book movie. The action and special effects are great. The acting is above par for this kind of film. The dialog is actually quite good, there's just WAY too much of it. Also, where are Spider Man's trademark wisecracks?",5 "I slow film to watch but the story of the miracle of Dunkirk was never going to be action packed with such a story to tell An all star cast head this up including Tom hardy , Harry styles, Barry keoghan, Kenneth brannagh and Cilian Murphy Many stories layers throughout the film that sometimes feels disjointed The cinematography is amazing tho and this story so beloved that it had to be seen.",7 "Ed Warren (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) lock the evil doll Annabelle in a sacred glass cabinet in their demoniac artifacts room. One year later, they need to travel and leave their daughter Judy (Mckenna Grace) with the babysitter Mary Ellen (Madison Iseman). However the local newspaper question if the Warren are heroes or hoax and the snoopy teenager Daniela Rios (Katie Sarife), who recently lost her father, lures Mary Ellen and enters in the locked room expecting to contact her father. She releases the powerful Annabelle and the girls spend the night haunted by evil spirits. ""Annabelle Comes Home"", the third film of the franchising, is not bad and startle the viewer in many scenes. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are part of the cast basically to give their names to the credits since their participation is a cameo in the beginning and in the ending. But the three girls have good performances. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): ""Annabelle 3: De Volta Para Casa"" (""Annabelle 3: Back Home"")",6 "The character of Dr. Hannibal was the only good thing in the show , so realistic and consistent. Rest of the characters was fluctuating all over the show with unrealistic reactions , new characters entered in the episodes of the last season means that all main characters lost the power to land the show at a good finale so they needed support .",1 "This movie was fun to watch from beginning to end. The characters were funny and well-portrayed, cameos were awesome, and the twists and stories although not shocking (we were able to guess most of of them), was very engaging. One of the few movies I watched recently where I didn't reach for my phone while watching and felt like I had a great time watching it. This is the type of movie I look for: entertaining and memorable. What a fun ride! It felt less serious than the first Knives Out movie, but I think that's better. The setting of this movie being in 2020 was also ingenious. It was critical to the plot, but also might be because of the pandemic delaying things.",10 "Filming is awesome, the story is awesome, visual effects are awesome but dull acting is the main thing makes this show not great. I hope they fix it in the next season. But If you tolerate some fake dull actings you can enjoy it.",7 "I'm not saying anything about the plot because I haven't seen the whole first episode yet. BUT I've watched an unhealthy amount of 50s television in my life and I have to point out a few tiny things. The voices... Or perhaps the way they're recorded aren't right. I understand our speech patterns have changed in the last 70 years, but you have to understand that 50s television shows were often based on radio the shows that preceded them. See, actors and actresses perform differently when all you can experience is their voice. They over expressed emotions vocally to make up for bot being able to see their faces. (Check out some old radio shows. They're incredible and entertaining.) So when television became a thing, radio moved over to television. It was an incredible new opportunity for old radio shows, but there was a problem. The fans already knew what they sounded like. They would be turned off if their favorite characters all of a sudden were completely different than they remembered. So the actors simply kept up their radio voices. In my opinion it made for more immersive television, but my opinion is neither here nor there. My point is that if you want to parody 50s television, you also have to parody 50s radio. Their voices aren't quite right. Anyway. Thanks.",8 "This series was overhyped. While the fighting sequences and sword play choreography were stellar in Episode 1, they stopped being stellar there. The writing, storyline, and CGI were more on par with a SyFy Channel production than they were for a GOT-level production. I might be even offending SyFy there. Except for Geralt and Yennifer's chemistry throughout the series, all the other characters were hard to relate to and develop any appreciation for. A few characters, such as Tissaia's magical prowess, were not fully realized and it was very painful to watch how all the bad guys just weren't so ""bad"" or merciless. Netflix needs to overhaul the writing, acting, and production if Season 2 is going to be a legitimate show.",4 "I'm so over the marvel cash cow. I've seen it all, I've heard it all, I'm done. There is nothing new, groundbreaking, or original here and this is the movie that sent me over the edge. It was visually stunning which was one redeeming factor for me. But gosh am I hard pressed to find any others. I will not be going to any more marvel movies, avengers or otherwise.",3 "SPOILERS They threw the movie away in the third act! A very competently-made, suspenseful piece, albeit with some of the whiff of anxiety-exploitation around child abduction that, say, The Pledge has, but impressively and seriously put together. A lot of the revelations are guessable, but it'll keep you watching. Yet - in the end - you may wish you'd spent your time watching something else. Because it doesn't pay off. There are many holes, but one key howler. For me, the film makers threw it all away with one piece of ""let's go down to that spooky graveyard"" plotting. With a jigsaw puzzle this intricate, everything has to be plausible or it all feels like a confection. And when Hugh Jackman runs off - alone, actively avoiding the police and preventing them from accompanying him - to confront the abductor, after learning a key piece of information in the hospital, all credibility goes out the window. HJ's character (Dover) simply has no reason to eschew the police's help once he learns that he has already been at the place where the children are being held. (Which narrows the options right down). The discovery of one of the missing girls changes everything. And acting on evidence gleaned from her is not something the police would resist. A bunch of talented actors and film makers let all their efforts go to waste due to this failure of plotting and motivation. It takes you right out of the movie. Of course, the whistle contrivance eventually makes it feel as if maybe this action doesn't seal Dover's fate (though the ending's ambiguity is a bit of a cop out). But - crucially - this piece of implausible action means that by the end we've kind of bailed. As for the aftertaste, the more you think about it, the more the 'plausible offscreen action' on which this kind of plot and edit relies, is inadequate. If you watch the flashback, which shows the first captive escaping, carefully you'll see that nasty Melissa Leo is held back by a hooded figure, which is how the little girl gets away. We see beige-hooded-coat-guy grab her from behind as she pursues the little girl, and then cut to the girl running and running. Now, there's only one beige hoodie guy in the film - it's creepy Bob Taylor, who by the time we see the flashback, has killed himself in police custody. So: why? Why did he kill himself? And/or why did he help little Joy Birch escape? If he meant for her to escape, why not just tell the cops and be a hero? And if he feels guilty enough to kill himself (why?), what was his motivation to save the girl? None of this is made even remotely clear. We could speculate that it's because he's a loon due to long exposure to LSD (if we think he's another abductee of Melissa Leo's character and her late husband - and this is suggested by the snakes he had; Leo's character says her husband kept snakes). Or maybe he feels guilty that he only managed to help one girl flee. But at this point in the story all he has to give is factual account of what happened and he'd be OK. Likewise, why does Alex withhold the information? Presumably we're supposed to presume that Holly Jones (Leo) had some intense brainwashy psychological hold over both boys. But that's a lot of presuming. So, the plot holes got in the way here. And, as is often the case, the film-makers papered over the cracks with some ambiguity and vagueness which the less discerning will take for artful and intentional ambiguity which makes the film soooo much more interesting. But it's not. It's just shoddy plotting dressed up.",6 "Ludo delivers on the expectations I had from Barfi. Where Barfi fell flat, Ludo soars. Very fun to watch! Pankaj Tripathi, sir, take a bow! This man is a chameleon. He shape-shifts into different roles with so much ease, and commands every scene he is in! Abhishekh brings some memories from his 'Yuva' days, but he melds into his role as the movie progresses. The cute little sweetheart with Abhishekh steals the show! Aditya, Sania, Rajkummar, Fatima - all are well cast, and keep the movie going. You kind of expect what will happen in the end, but there are lots of twists and turns to keep the audience guessing and entertained!",8 "Ok, something very, very, very, very weird happened here. We are talking about Mission Impossible - and it should never EVER be a movie to take lightly. Why? Because this was and is a so good movie to enjoy with family and Tom Cruise was only getting better BUT: what happened to the script? All actors are good and major in what they do, so why do we watch it as we are watching a joke in SNL? This was not well written and well directed at all. The only scene that was good to watch was when Tom jumped with his motorcycle. The end. There is this HUGE budget, so I think that the least they could've have done was hiring a great screenwriter. Part two should hire a better team to make a better story. Is the only movie of the franchise that has poor writing.",2 "It's a bit like tea with Batman, isn't it? Everyone likes it a certain way. This was just so sullen and downbeat I couldn't get into it. It's decent, there are some nice moments, but there are other versions I'd rather watch.",2 "There are far too many reviews that rather agonizingly run too long - So let this one be brief but very on point: This movie is contrived, derivative and formulaic, period. It reaches nothing higher than hyped banality in striving for political and racial correctness. Trying to balance the scales of racial injustice is vainly attempted here via Marvel Comic Hollyweird. That it should have been nominated for an Academy Best Picture award speaks to the brainless community of those living in the entertainment bubble of vapid pretense in our current times.",3 I think this is a great series. I love the chemistry between Matthew and Teresa. And Matthew Goode is so handsome. I have watched all the episodes twice. I am really looking forward to season 2.,10 "Loved the opening of the show and was so excited to see it develop. I found myself drifting away during the middle section so it failed to keep my attention. The end was quite good and left it relatively exciting, although I think I know what sort of thing is coming. Close encounters with various mutant type creatures and savages. They may even bump into some communities of nice or seemingly nice people. I feel like this has been done to death. I don't know of the computer game so I may be well off mark and I hope I am because I would really love to see something different. I'll keep watching because I did like it. I just didn't love it.",6 """Jojo's Bizarre Adventure"" is a prime example of ridiculousness incarnate. I couldn't bring myself to finish even one episode. If you're only interested in watching men posing and getting hyped up, you'd be better off hitting the gym. This anime is a laughable display that caters solely to the whims of preteens. The characters are insufferable, the writing is abysmal, and dialogue is only ever yelled. They're flat, predictable, and utterly devoid of any depth. They're mere caricatures of personalities, lacking any semblance of relatability. It's as if the creators were content with crafting flashy shells devoid of substance, leaving viewers with nothing but hollow impressions. Such shallow characterization does a disservice to the narrative, rendering it stagnant and unengaging. The overall experience is just painful. Save yourself the agony and steer clear of this nonsensical mess.",1 "There were times I found the show tedious with irrelevant detail. I guess that's the film maker's art, giving depth to characters and character to a film. There were times it lost my attention but the all star cast kept me watching and they did not disappoint. The performances were all good, maybe excellent but the script or storyline dragged for me. The story line felt awkward as the real antagonists were revealed slowly. At the end it became clear this is a film with a message. Those involved probably support that message which might explain the large number of well known actors in the film, possibly there to do just that.",7 "I think one of the prime requisites in bringing to life a comic book action hero to the big screen is making him as believable as possible. We all want to relate to some part of this hero in our daily lives and when a movie accomplishes that, no matter how far out the situations might be, it succeeds. SPIDERMAN 2 succeeds in this by bringing more dramatic elements and a more carefully written story. Tobey Maguire is excellent as the confused teenager-cum-hero. He doesn't want to lose the love of his life (Mary Jane, played wonderfully by Kirsten Dunst) but at the same time he feels the obligation of fighting for justice, as means of honoring his late uncle Ben Parker (Cliff Robertson). SPIDERMAN 2's core is more about this repressed love than about chasing villains and saving the day. Even this movie's bad guy, Dr.Otto Octavious (played by Alfred Molina) is not as bad as he initially seems, but he eventually unleashes some over the top mayhem for good measure. You might even say this is a more ""girly"" sequel, but fear not: when the action hits the screen, is badder, wilder and more violent that the first movie. In one particular scene, Sam Raimi finally unleashes his true origins as a horror maestro, with camera angles, noises and film editing that will remind the gore hounds of the EVIL DEAD movies. For those of us that have known Raimi's previous work, the scene will be a joyride! Opinions out there might be diverse: I'm sure some fans would've liked a sequel with 2 hours of non stop action, seeing Spiderman battling foes left and right. SPIDERMAN 2 delivers because it has a GOOD story and you are anxious to know what will the next scene be like. I had a blast watching SPIDERMAN 2 and would put this movie along with other great sequels such as THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, ALIENS and THE GODFATHER 2. Yep, it's THAT good! Can't wait for the DVD to come out! 10* out of 10*",10 Well made and totally entertainment.go for it you won't be regret.,8 The stories and characters keep changing and not in a good way. Huge letdown.,3 "people bash it but it's actually pretty good there's less focus on the action and more on character development this time around makes you care more for tony, pepper and rody",8 Anyone who rates this is paid by disney bigtime could'nt bare to watch this even in fast forward,1 "It's not the by far best war film ever, but as an Indian war film, it's absolutely up to mark. It's a very clean film, mild vfx, less blood, good performance, not great. The film is watchable and you should experience it. The first half of the film is just amazing, the graph moderately goes up, and with the astonishing balance between emotional and shocking scenes, you will be on the edge of your seats. The sad half is the second half of the film, where you will be connected to the film but it's too predictable, as well as the graph of the film, goes down, even though characters are on their extreme level. Songs were definitely not required, completely unnecessary. Yami and Kriti have done a kind of cameo. Paresh Rawal has done fine work and all the credits have been taking by our own hero Vicky Kaushal, also has done a lot of hard work on the body. Cinematography will take there as you are also part of the war. Sound effects are done very well, highly recommend watching in Atmos sound.",7 "Mission Impossible is all about the cleverness team work and gadgets together to pull out the trick and retreat without anyone notice. This style of agent movie has been long gone after the first Mission Impossible. These days Mission Impossible movies are just about selling how great Tom Cruise is. One man band, the other team members are just chauffeurs and fill in the dialogues. Twist on top of twist on top of twist on top o twist. When it comes to agent movies (I watch every single one, I am sucker to agent movie), the number one requirement is to keep it (the story) simple, stupid (KISS rule). That's why (The Bourne Identity) was so good and with great actions. The uninspired & convoluted story is to give Tom Cruise the chance to full out the stunts. He has the balls of steel to pull the stunts but as far as the movie goes, the whole package is just lacklustre. Those IMDB 8+ reviews are very suspicious, I noticed a few of them are repeated with the exact words.",5 "An OK movie, but it's light years away from even being a nominee for Oscar not to mention wining it.",6 "Parineeta (6/10) : ""Parineeta"" is a movie that has some great things going for it. First, it looks really nice. The cinematography is beautiful and captures the old-time setting well. The costumes and production design also add to the movie's authenticity. The performances in the film are strong, especially from Vidya Balan in her first role as Lalita. She shows her talent and charm, bringing depth and relatability to her character. Saif Ali Khan and Sanjay Dutt also do a good job, adding to the movie's overall appeal. The music in ""Parineeta"" is a standout. However, the movie does have some downsides. The pacing is slow, which might make some viewers lose interest.",6 "I'm a huge sci fi fan so I read the book before seeing this. As a stand-alone movie it isn't too bad. There are good references to 80s pop culture and the whole concept of VR is cool. However that's where it stops. The book is so much better. The detail the characters the atmosphere the suspense the sense of urgency and competition. Everything in that sense is much better in the book. Also, the characters are so different from the book. Just blasé and one dimensional. Read the book instead it's much better.",5 "6.7/10 Well, that went as well I imagined it would. There's nothing crazy or fantastical about this movie. I laughed a few times. I tried to go in with an open mind despite the gripes about the film. Firstly, this part is not meant to be deep. Just what I observed on a surface perspective. The message. This is probably the biggest gripe people have had from what I've seen. It's been done before, and better, only this time Barbie is the face. My conclusion was that both Barbie and need to find who they are in this crazy world. They need to do it in a way that doesn't put the other down, or alienate the other into believing they are or aren't good enough to accomplish something. Margot Robbie continues to be one of my favourite actresses. She did a splendid job as Barbie. Ryan Gosling as Ken is where things got iffy for me. He made it work, but I think his success comes with Simu Liu as his opposite. Without Simu Liu, Gosling (ten years older than me) is just the awkward old guy trying to maintain his youth. Visually the film was great. It felt like a world of make believe, and plastic. The graphics used to create certain scenes worked well, and didn't feel more fake than what they were meant to be. I actually loved the soundtrack for the film. Some really good songs, and while it's put in as a remix, it was nice that ""Barbie Girl"" made the cut. The pacing is steady and the two hours runtime flew by. Overall, an enjoyable and entertaining film. I would say it's worth checking out. Definitely, and obviously, geared towards women more so. Acting, cinematography, and sound are all good. I am convinced however that if Barbie was not the face. This film would not have made $1bn. Cause it's definitely not that good. That's all for now. Thank you for reading my review, and until next time.... Enjoy the show!",6 "Fits the books and the videogames, that's all a fan like me needs.",8 "Very enjoyable. Adventures with swords, magic and monsters. I didnt know about the books or game, but found no problem getting into it perhaps because I've read plenty of fantasy books. There is a dark humour throughout as well as excellent fighting choreography and a belief in ""goodness"" that all set it apart from GOT. The time switching was a surprise, because I'm used to being spoon fed information on TV. However, in contrast to many reviewers I liked the feeling of revelation when I matched time-lines, or when scenes were replayed in later episodes from the perspective of other characters. The negatives? only 8 episodes, unclear mechanics behind magical power, Ciri's story was too passive, maybe too little info on Nilfgaard, the Elven ears looked a little sad, the cliffhanger ending (but what else would you expect?!). Suspend belief, dont think too deeply, and enjoy the ride ;-)",9 "Just saw the movie this afternoon and liked it... except for the melodramatic dialog and overly self referential SERIOUSNESS. I did like how they worked Cat Woman and Robin in without being obvious... Love me some Bane! He talks like Napoleon Dynamite on steroids! I Do Love his message, though. Can't really dig his means, but... But, sadly DC fails to equal the drama of Thor vs Iron Man much less Thor vs Hulk. Marvel's World is full of Characters of Action. Nolan's comic book world is, in the end, a mask filled melodrama of ""serious intent."" Whereas Spidy, Avengers, et al.. MARVEL is pure comic book FanBoy magic; Badass fights between Truly awe inspiring CHARACTERS. stanleerulesout",5 "We will see how it progresses. It doesn't look very hopeful that it will get better. Season 1 and 2 were excellent. I loved them both. Season 3 is yet to be seen, I will return after I have Watched more but doesn't look good. Back for more. Season 3 turned out to be ok. Not as good as 1 and 2. 1 was the best. The changing of Vanya to Viktor was a bit contrived but not that bad. Why couldn't Elliot just have played Vanya ? He is an actor isn't he? I see no more seasons. Too bad I really like this cast.",8 "I am fond of ""A crazy night"" films such as The Sitter , Nick& Norah's Infinite playlist , Date Night in which the main characters hope to spend a pleasant night , but suddenly a lot of things goes wrong, but they always survive this night. This night no needs to end in a ""One night stand"", sometimes after these tribulations the characters realize that they have a new girlfriend o a new boyfriend, and this is another story.The most important is the friendship between these mains characters. So I enjoyed very much ""Superbad"", because the story is quite crazy , funny and touching. Thanks Michael Cera and Jonas Hill for your brillant performance !!",8 "Another nolan disaster, the last three of his movies were totally illegible, mumbling dialogue overlaid with loud annoying music that completely destroyed what may have been great movies Interstellar being a perfect example, mc connaughty's southern drawl was the icing in the cake there!! Entire movie totally ruined. Oppenheimer, from what i have read in many quarters suffers from the same NOLAN ADDICTION!!. What i really take acception to is a movie that is so heavily advertised and so heavily slanted towards a made up narrative rather than truth. Its what is not discussed, shown or even remotely mentioned that makes this movie a sad farce, no doubt it will do marvelously coms oscar time.",2 "After seeing the first ""Avengers"" movie in 2012, I was wondering how they were going to top it with the sequel. Then in 2013, the first teaser trailer came out for ""Avengers: Age of Ultron"". I thought, ""okay, 'Age of Ultron' is kind of a weak and stupid title, but I won't let it ruin the movie. Who is Ultron?"" I said to myself. I then looked up the character, and I was blown away. Ultron has several cool powers and abilities, and he is indestructible. ""Wow!"" I thought: ""how will the Avengers stop him?!"" Then, I watched the teaser, and the first two official trailers. They were laid out just as I thought, with an ominous tone, and a dramatic soundtrack. The first few trailers were great, it got me excited and hyped to the max for this film. Then came the final trailer, and at that point I slowly began to realize what we were in store for. The music wasn't very dramatic, and it just felt more like a day time television commercial. I thought: ""okay, this trailer is different. Where is the dramatic and ominous tone?"" But, I didn't care, I was still going to see this movie regardless. Boy did I make a mistake! This ""movie"" is stuffed past the brim with one-liners, comedic moments, it hardly followed the original comic book stories, and at no point did I feel any tension whatsoever. I've seen many disappointing films, and this ""movie"" certainly belongs in my ""Top 10 Most Disappointing Movies"" list. I knew before I first saw the film that they changed the original story. In this ""movie"", Hank Pym doesn't create Ultron, Stark does instead. That does not follow the original story. Now of course, some movies can get away with altering the story, but that does not work in this ""movie"". However, Tony Stark does create Vision, that is comic book accurate. That's the only thing they got right in this ""movie"". But as far as Ultron goes, I could not believe how they portrayed Ultron in this ""film"". Ultron is a wuss in this ""movie"", he is practically the polar opposite of his real comic book self. He's supposed to be a cold, calculating, mindless robot. So, why does he have facial features? That moving mouth especially perplexes me, it makes him look more like an alien in a suit of armor. WHY DOES HIS MOUTH MOVE?! Sorry for repeating that question, it's just so retarded. His real character in the comics just has a red light on his face that glows when he speaks. That would've been so much better, because we, as an audience would not be able to tell what he's feeling. In that case, you wouldn't know when he was about to strike! That would have actually brought forth some level of tension for the ""film"". Another thing, when Ultron says: ""I can't physically throw up in my mouth."" (HE MUST BE THINKING ABOUT THE MOVIE ITSELF). That ""joke"" would've actually made sense if he had the glowing red light when he talks instead of that retarded moving mouth. The light would have further clarified that he does not have a mouth, and therefore he cannot throw up. That would have made the joke work, and it would have been funny! Although to be honest, just thinking about this ""movie"" makes me want to throw up. Also, Ultron has next to none of his actual comic book powers, and I was looking forward to see how those awesome powers would be utilized in this ""movie"". But no, we just get a watered down tin foil looking ""thing"". Granted, James Spader is a good choice for the voice of Ultron. What a wasted opportunity! Another thing, the plethora of one-liners in this ""film"" are abysmal, there are so many that it almost doesn't feel real. You know, you'd think after ""Batman & Robin"" (1997) contaminated the Earth with its existence, film studio producers and writers would have learned their lesson! Now, the first ""Avengers"" movie had one-liners too, but there were not nearly as many. It had the right balance between action, comedy, and drama. Unlike the sequel, the one-liners in the first Avengers film are actually funny, but in ""Age of Ultron"" they're not! Also, the acting is all over the place in this ""movie"", some good, some okay, and some bad. The soundtrack is generic, nothing special or original at all. The sets and locations are boring. Sadly, the only good thing in this ""movie"" are the special effects, and that's not saying much. Special effects are usually a given in movies since the mid 19th century. I think that the biggest reason this is my least favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe film is because the movie had so much hype and build-up for over a year, and then it amounted to nothing. Out of all 20 plus movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this one, by far, emotes the most anger out of me. I give it 1 out of 5 stars, which of course equates to 2 out of 10 stars on the IMDB scale. On a final note, in the ""movie"" I wanted to hear one of the main characters say: ""Avengers, assemble!"" Sure it's corny, I know. But, I think it should be warranted in one of these movies. Captain America almost says at the end, but then the end credits cut him off. I was furious! Also, for a title called ""Age"" of Ultron, we didn't even find out how old Ultron was. Yes, that's a joke, I thought that I'd end my scathing review of this ""film"" on a positive, humorous note. The ""age"" of events in this movie take place in just a few days. Whereas an ""age"" can range from a year or longer, so the title doesn't make any sense! Nothing in this ""movie"" makes sense. Stay away from this ""movie"", watch the first ""Avengers"", or ""Avengers: Infinity War"" instead!",2 "Great collection of players doing a great job of playing. But I found it so boring after the set-up that I FFWD thru at least 30 mins. Christopher Plummer as always, very strong. Always happy to see Toni Collette. I never knew Don Johnson could actually act. He's very good in this.",6 "Avengers: End Game is long, boring, and predictable--with an endless amount of fan service. The humor in this movie just doesn't get a laugh. I cannot express how disappointed I am with the conclusion of 10 years of movies. I'm shocked this film is actually getting good reviews. This will be the last Marvel movie I see on opening night. I cannot help but think this is the beginning of the end for the MCU. It was good while it lasted.",2 "Let me start by saying i don't watch the show anymore so i don't know. I thought that they were going to incorporate things from the Marvel movies but the only thing we got was Coulson and Nick Fury. One thing that was upsetting is that it is made by Joss Weadon who I really enjoy. For him to go from something like The Avengers to this is very upsetting and disappointing.Although it has great actors like Clark Gregg and Cobbie Smaulders it failed. I thought that it was kinda stupid, it drags on and on and on and finally after 5 episodes i had enough. It wasn't what i expected. I wanted to watch it more but i just went back to Arrow. I expected this to be an easy 7/10 but it ended up being at most a 5/10.",5 "One Of Heath Ledger's Final Complete Finshed And Best Movie Roles That He Will Always Be Remembered For And That Won Him An Academy Award Winner For Best Surporting Actor To Which He Played One Of Batman's Greatest Villians Of All Time That Happens To Be The Joker.

This would have reached a greater audience if it didn't have that annoying political wining.",4 "For the first three to four episodes they seemed to be mediocre, but then as the story unfolds everything appears to be connected and becomes intriguing. Cant wait for season 2! P.S. I didn't give it a 10/10 because the music is a bit weird.",7 "This is the story of... bits and pieces. Even the cast couldn't save this one. Sometimes, ideas should rest in the comfort of a notebook's pages. Beautiful photography though.",3 "Horrible. Actors forgot that they're not in theater but on a movie set. The dude behind CGI did what with that giant budget? And oh my goodness, what was that editing? And all that cheap writing? It was embarassing to watch to say the least. And I genuinely wish I could at least call it entertaining, but all I did was suffer, especially when I had to watch the writers steal from every major sci-fi movie ever made. I mean Matrix? The Alien? This is the most corrupt, american, cheap television I've seen in a long time. I'm not even gonna talk about that sad portrayal of the 80's and Soviet Union. But generally, this was the worst writing I've seen this year. If I could turn back time and unwatch it I probably would.",1 "I was very excited about this. I loved Daredevil and then Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. Iron Fist was a disappointment , but after seeing Punisher in Daredevil , and having seen the movie , I was very excited to watch this. So I turned it on on a day when I had a lot of spare time , just so that I can watch at least two episodes and enjoy it ... and it was just a huge disappointment. It doesn't get you involved as much as the others . And the story is kind of crappy. I didn't even watch 2 episodes that day. I kept playing it throughout the next few days , while I was at the house doing chores , just as a background , but it's so bland that it just doesn't keep your attention . You just feel like you could be doing something else , instead of watching it. I don't even know what episode I am on now , i don't care , I probably will see the whole thing eventually, but who knows when . I saw the whole season of trailer park boys though .. that was pretty damn good, especially compared to the Punisher.",2 "Oh boy, where do I even start with this so-called ""Barbie"" movie? Strap in, folks, because we're about to take a ride on the wild carousel of nonsensical plot twists and missed opportunities. Let's talk about character development, shall we? Or rather, the complete absence of it. It's like the writers thought character growth was an urban myth that didn't deserve a place in their script. As a result, we're left with characters flatter than a pancake on a diet. And don't even get me started on the plot. Or should I say, the lack thereof? It's as if they jumbled up a handful of clichés, put them in a blender, and pressed the ""random"" button. ""Will they ever find the missing gem? Who cares! Let's throw in a dancing unicorn for good measure."" Now, let's talk about the film's blatant false advertising. The trailer promised an epic adventure with heartwrenching emotions. What we got instead was a dumpster fire of wasted potential and shattered dreams. I felt like I was watching a cooking show expecting a gourmet meal and ended up with a burnt toast. But you know what? Maybe this is all just a brilliant postmodern experiment in irony. Maybe the creators are secretly geniuses, and we're all just pawns in their grand jest. Or maybe, just maybe, it's a botched attempt at entertainment that left me questioning the very fabric of reality. So, if you're looking for a movie that defies all expectations by managing to disappoint on every level imaginable, congratulations, you've found it. The Barbie Movie: where dreams go to die and laughter goes to hibernate.",1 "I loved Knives Out so was looking forward to this sequel. As a stand-alone movie its a lot of fun and enjoyable to watch, but comparing it to the original movie it doesn't hold up as well. The whole tone of this movie is different. The acting is a bit over the top, the characters are all pushing the limits of believability, its very colourful and dramatic. Which is all fine, no problem, its nice to have a vibrant backdrop to a who-dunnit for a change! There were a couple of issues with this movie in my opinion. Firstly the pacing was all over the place. It began pretty slow, picked up and then just wrapped it up at lightening speed! Secondly it did the one thing I absolutely HATE in a who-dunnit, which is include information during the reveal that was not deducible from the viewers position, ruining the whole point of the movie (for me). The fun of a who-dunnit is trying to work it out yourself as the story progresses. You could only do that up to a point with this movie, which took away some of the enjoyment of the 'OMG, now it all makes sense, what a good twist..' moment you normally get. However the ending was still satisfying. But regardless, apart from the rather slow beginning, it did keep my attention, I did enjoy it and would watch it again. Hoping they make more.",7 "I'm British born and I really cannot understand the high ratings this programme has received. I absolutely love most of the dramas the BBC produce, Dr Foster and The Stranger for example are some of my favourites. This however, was not up to par. The acting skills were fantastic although the pace was too slow and it felt as if I was watching a student-made movie whereby each episode had to consist of tiresome and dull sex scenes to make it a little more exciting...",5 I've yet to like anything this guy has made. Maybe he just needs to quit. I've had more fun watching paint dry.,4 "The sequel to the hit blockbuster ""Spider-man"" is here with style. Sam Raimi does a fantastic job of creating the world of the marvel comic character Spider-man. It's not often you get a sequel that matches the quality of the original. Two years have passed and Peter Parker has lost his job and J.Jonah.Jameson keeps firing him and unfiring him. So his future is uncertain, but one thing that is certain is that he will always be Spider-man. His friendships are deteriorating with Mary Jane and Harry. Peter Parker feels that everything is against him. And to make matters worse there is a new villain in town, Doc Ock. The sequel matches the quality of the first film and the third film hits cinemas May 4 2007.",8 "If you have not seen this film yet, your life is missing another great comedy along with many of Judd Apatow's productions. This movie has one of the funniest scenes in movie history dating back further then the Marx Brothers. This upbeat new age teen comedy really speaks to what it was like growing up as a teen, with great play on words which most find offensive but to me, it means someone has no sense of humor and takes life to seriously. This movie is the pinnacle of the summer movies of 2007, and by far takes the cake. I If this movie doesn't make you feel better or your day feel any better you have robbed yourself with a closed minded view of the world and you were obviously depraved of comedy as a child.",10 "Very interesting characters and complex plot meets terrible writing, overused soundtracks and especially all the wasted potential of what a great show that could have be. Disappointing!",5 "A movie about stupidity in its purest form. Plus some other unlikable characters. Plus Tom Hanks who is better not seen. And my major beef is that I really don't like stupid, dumb people!",2 "Like vampires, werewolves and dystopian trends I hope the superhero overload will die soon.... Marvel/Disney domination is frightening with critics and fanboys blatantly in their pockets - there is so much CGI in this movie and as always so much nonsense in a marvel film passed off as ""amazing"". This movie made a billion $ worldwide - it's mind boggling why with such crap. Gave two extra stars because of the dialogue, cast and acting with such an awful plot (I saw a mile away) or else it would have been a 1 Star at most.",3 "I was looking forward to this show and the character, but this is a big letdown. After three episodes I'm still waiting for some sign that will enable me to keep hoping that this can end well. So far there is only bad acting, bad story, bad characters, bad dynamics - and they keep pounding the daylights out of any chance of this being anything other than a big waste of time. So far I hate the character and I'm terrified that they won't kill off the lame sidekick. Hope that the next episodes isn't fast forward material - like the first ones.",4 "This is my kind of show, fantasy elements, incredible cgi and atmosphere, great characters, great acting, and it looks phenomenal. I love the intrigue, the fast pacing and the character scenes. They are all a joy to watch as the tensions build up towards the (inevitable at this point) civil strife. I do have some problems with the show however. Parts of the plot, violence and sex are a bit too much, or too extreme to be believed. There are some minor plot points that don't make any sense but could have been changed easily or could have been explained with a few extra bits of dialogue. Also the time jumps can be jarring for some people. Another problem one could have is the lack of likable or morally good characters, which isn't complete and I actually don't mind that much, but it would be an improvement for the show to see what a smart & powerful but also good & just character would do in the situations presented by the show. Objectively, overall, I think the show deserves an 8.5/10, I was tempted to give it a 9/10 but I feel like rounding down because the show could be a clear 9 with just a few improvements which weren't made.",8 "Though much has been known about Russell Crowe - The Jerk, not enough is said about Russell Crowe - THE Actor. Reputation of his being a jerk is now part of modern day folklore, what with frequent episodes of his beastly tendencies, from breaking up marriages to beating up his castrators (of his poem, that is). However, upon watching an above average though not brilliant film like ""A Beautiful Mind"", one temporarily forgets the poem thumper ever existed and start appreciating his genuine talent as a mean(but not so lean) acting machine. In portraying the Nobel Prize winning math genius, John Nash, Russell Crowe has to assume not just the role of a clever bloke, but also a man lacking adequate social graces and political etiquette(much like the real life actor). On top of that, Mr Crowe has to flesh out the plight of a man plagued by insanity. You see, John Nash also suffered from schizophrenia, a condition which render its victim delusional, paranoid and slowly losing grip with reality. As this was a straight forward biography of John Nash, a full narrative arc, spanning decades, was presented to the audience. It detailed his genius, the onset of his condition, his spiralling into the depths of insanity, and his gradual path back on the road to recovery. Yet, nowhere in the film was I distracted with the timeline nor the gradual personality shift in the man. All credit goes to Russell Crowe, THE ACTOR. For he delivered a powerful yet restrained performance. He captured our sympathies not with his nuanced mannerisms, bringing out subtle moments of brilliance and anguish. A performance so committed, one is astonished by its utter lack of vanity and artifice. Dennis Quaid, ex-husband of Meg Ryan, has this to say of THE ACTOR: ""Hey, he's a really good actor. I won't tell you what I think of him as a person, though. That I'll leave out."" All said and done, Russell Crowe is a paradoxical A**hole Savant - A real life a**hole but a reel life savant. As long as he continue to churn out performances like that in ""A Beautiful Mind"", he will continue to earn the utmost respect from discerning viewers like yours truly. As long as he keep digging married women, underage infants or throw up ego-maniacal tantrums, I will wish that he gets full blown HIV plus testicular cancer. This pretty much sums up my ramblings on the guy the world love to hate. I rest my case.",5 It might be a bit raunchy for some BUT it is absolutely hilarious and worth watching. You may want to watch it without your significant other. HILARIOUS,7 "Watching the first episode, I thought to myself: This is just trash. Surely I had to be misunderstanding something. The ratings on imdb were great, so I risked wasting some more time and watched 4 more episodes until I finally pulled the plug. Enraged over having wasted several hours on something that just brought me frustration, I want to warn anyone else to not make the same mistake. I just want to ask. Where is the entertainment? What is funny, exciting, sweet, scary or interesting here? Does some people get off on some sort of perceived superiority by mocking everyone and everything that does not fit into the modern woke identity politics agenda? Is mockery and scorn all that is needed for a great show these days? If that is true, I have to ask what's left for the rest of us? The only good thing I could find here was the costumes and set decor.",1 "If you are in your 20s, well, you might love this movie. If you are in your 30s like me, god I can´t even begin on how much of a disapointment this movie is. At least MCU is over now.

It introduced interesting characters and a plot that kept you invested in more with carefully sprinkled in humor that didn't go overboard. 8/10 Season 2: Season two was still good but the show began to go from comedy to silly a few times. The plot was more bizarre but still unpredictable and engaging enough to not feel boring. 7/10 Season 3: Season three is where everything abruptly and unexpectedly fell apart. Characters and their choices and decisions make no sense anymore or are so stereotype that even intensive yawning doesn't help. The comedic elements are way too often just silly. The plot is predictable and incredibly boring. 1/10. Unfortunately this leads to a 5.3/10. I give it a 6 because a season 4 might be good again.",6 Totally wrong way to represent Dhaka and language of Bangla.,1 "All I can say is Mysterio channels Felix Unger, badly.",3 "I guess I expected a bit more in terms of story development. Such huge decisions cannot be a result of minor comments from third-tier characters. Maybe it is the way life is, actually. It did leave me asking and wondering if this was actually the end...",5 "The Netflix showrunner has twisted the lore to the point of fan fiction. The script is so poorly written I'm afraid no good actor can rectify it. There are so many monotonous punchlines I can't help but feel it's a sitcom. Tokenism is the underlying theme of the cast. There is no good reason to take liberties with source material completed unless, of course, some mysterious magnate invests a ton of capital to botch the plot. Like many have said, this is a poor man's Game of Thrones, but the budget is relatively the same. Fiscally irresponsible and incompetent, this showrunner. If you're reading this Henry, and still interested in medieval fantasy, I'd like to see you play as Guts from the show Berserk (1997).",1 "Wandavision (2021): The first episodes are fun, fresh and mysterious but as times flies, it slowly loses its magic and degrades becoming just another Marvel movie...",7 "A lot of bad dialogue, sometimes cringy, sometimes it doesn't make much sense! Average or bad acting, bad directing, sometimes very good cgi, sometimes very bad cgi!!! If you haven't played the games or read the books and you judge it on its own, it is so boring!!! The protagonist could be a tree ( that's a bit unfair to Groot), he is good during fighting and that's it!!! And what is a Witcher?",1 "Close to perfect, I haven't watched anything this good in 10 years. I was waiting badly for a mind blowing season, regardless of the show. This is it: close to perfect.",9 "The plot is kinda weak and not that strong, villain's backstory is bad tbh, i loved the johnwalker, his character is well developed than the karli. The acting of casts was good, the ending was satisfying.",7 It is impossible to write a spoiler for this movie because it is completely predictable. Just read the storyline - the movie doesn't take you anywhere else. Yet another movie where the only driving force is revenge. I wonder if most movie goers find hate and revenge to be acceptable motivations in one's live. I don't think one can blame the actors to make the same facial expression throughout the entire move - I rather think that the story doesn't have characters but rather figures like in a chess game that you move from here to there and that can perform only a single type of movement. But for those who like it loud with a lot of 'bangs' perhaps it is good relaxation and to take emotional revenge on one's boring job and unbearable boss...,4 "This review hints at spoilers but doesn't deliver details. If you are on the fence just stop reading this review and watch part 1 & 2. I can't truly give this movie praise without at least hinting at spoilers that made the movies meaningful to me. It was so good that scrolling through my old ratings, I had to update this minor slight and write a review. For an animated sequel movie this movie is virtually peerless in quality story telling. It is actually better and more emotionally packed than the others. With an emotional punch climax really paying true homage to East Asian philosophies that champion balance, truth, and harmony with self. It been years since I have seen this movie and I often think of the beauty of the finale. Even though it was a family movie I was genuinely in fear for the protagonist near the end and understood the antagonist as real hurt soul. And I would not trust any reviewer that has liked other cgi animated movies and rated this one below a 6 or 7. It is better than the original and it can bring a tear to your eye in the climax. It was so good that story in part 3 should have be relegated to a few episodes of the TV series. It might not have been the best financial move but as an artistic property probably the best move.",9 "Once I got over the supposed Russian characters having heavy British accents, it developed into a pretty good show but is almost certainly overhyped!",7 "I watched TWBB on cable a few days ago. I needn't have bothered. The movie lasts more than two and a half hours but it feels like it's longer. It crawls at such a slow pace that one could stop watching and, say, play a round of golf, come back and continue watching without having missed anything. As well, there are a number of gaps or sudden jumps in the story, which made me wonder just what actually happened between scenes. Daniel Day-Lewis is a talented actor but he seems to wear the same expression throughout the movie. Then again, there's little development of his character. I find it hard to believe that his performance was worthy of an Academy Award. Sadly, none of the other characters are properly developed as well. For example, how and, for that matter, why did the preacher go into the ministry? As social commentary, this movie didn't say anything new and it didn't say it very well. The musical score, such as it is, is dull and uninspiring. Avoid this movie if one doesn't want to be bored. I would put it in the same league as ""No Country For Old Men""--dull, lifeless, and over-promoted. Sadly TWBB and NCFOM are symptomatic of the fact that Hollywood no longer knows how to tell stories, let alone make movies. If you want to see a good movie about the oil industry and its development over the years, I can recommend ""Giant"" with James Dean's character of Jet Rink being the counterpart to Daniel Day-Lewis's.",2 "Tbh thought it would be nice but didn't came out that well. Just an average superhero kinda movie you cn predict every next scene bit boring but not that interesting too in my opinion shouldn't be watched in theatres, wait for the ott release. I like the post credit scene more than movie !",4 "Bhuvan Bam is just wow. Bhuvan Bam everywhere. All characters are good and performed very nicely.

Picturization is good. 16+ webseries. A Worth Weekend Watch Web Series it is. And bhuvans perfect acting makes it way better. Just watch it and enjoy. - itsbymayank Review of Taaza Khabar (itsbymayank)",7 "For a period of time, memes featuring blindfolded individuals have been running rampant across the internet. The humour this film has garnered is ironic compared to the serious yet somewhat predictable storyline consisting mainly of an invisible monster(s) that runs rife and drives people insane by simply being seen. Regardless, Netflix has strained to make Josh Malerman's book into some enthralling, original film that simply falls flat. In essence the film is about our pregnant protagonist (Malorie) who watches the world collapse as an epidemic emerges and people spontaneously decide to kill themselves. Amidst the chaos that unfolds, she watches the death of her sister and finds herself with a group of vastly different characters in a mansion. Together, they hypothesise that there must be something outside that corrupts people's minds and forces them to commit suicide. As the days become weeks and weeks become months, the herd has thinned and Malorie is in charge of a small family who must occasionally venture out into the desolate cities to find resources - blindfolded. Sound familiar? You wouldn't be wrong to understand why many claim this plot is awfully similar to A Quiet Place which was another hugely successful film and consisted of our characters being stripped of a sense (speaking) and forced to survive as a family. The story tells two tales simultaneously, as in it switches from present time and how Malorie ended up in the position she is in. As the story progress the two timelines match very seamlessly and parallels between both timelines are executed cleverly. This gives the opportunity to introduce dilemmas in one timeline which the other resolves and adds a layer of intrigue and tension. But the storyline feels very formulaic at times, yes it has the occasional ""twists"" or ""turns"" with new ""unexpected"" threats. In fact, my cousin and I concluded that the survivors would be the blind during the first half of the film - and we were spot on. It makes an effort to try and stand out but the introduction of some evil people who were miraculously immune to this epidemic was not surprising and reminiscent of The Walking Dead (you'll get what I mean if you watch it). Personally, I find it frustrating that the monster is never revealed but by keeping this a secret is a double-edged sword; it digresses from the typical ""scary monster"" genre and keeps the viewer rapt. On the contrary, it becomes mildly ridiculous watching grown adults sprinting away from a gust of wind that scatters leaves - that is often how the creature is portrayed. Although films with the absence of an antagonist (or monster) is uncommon, Bird Box has used little imagination to illustrate its existence and the memory of A Quiet Place is too fresh in our minds. However, it is not impossible to have a frightening creature that is rarely seen, as depicted by The Thing. Despite the fact that Bird Box seems to have taken scraps of ideas from a variety of very successful films, it remains a wild mashup of other films whose standards it desperately tries to match. The film itself is generic with little to nothing which is particularly new or original, however it has some faintly creative and unorthodox aspects - but that may not necessarily mean it is a masterpiece. It is easily forgettable and perhaps the memes will outlast the film at this rate.",5 "'House of the Dragon', the prologue series to 'Game of Thrones', chronicles the Targaryen empire at the height of its rule, and the internal power struggles within. Beginning 172 years before the birth of Daenerys Targaryen, King Viserys I (Paddy Considine) sits on the Iron Throne and his daughter, Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock, then recast to Emma D'Arcy) is named successor - a massive blow to the generations-long tradition of naming male heirs. Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith), Lord Corlys Verarion (Steve Toussaint), Alicent Hightower (Emily Carey, then recast to Olivia Cooke) all play vital and pivotal roles in the next Lord of the Realm. Excellently filmed and acted! The feel is very similar to the early seasons of Game of Thrones - set pieces, narration, flow, and overall feel. The major setback is the time jumps between episodes. Everything in the first few episodes skips years in advance and may leave some viewers having trouble building relatability with the characters. The other drawback from the flagship series is the overall lack of nudity some may be expecting; and due to some of the negativity surrounding nude scenes in GoT, its no wonder the lack of skin is evident. Worth a watch!",7 "Wow! I am shocked that there are some negative reviews for this gem of a show! I found out about this show by accident, and it turned out to be an awesome find! I am so glad there will be a season 2 starting on June 28th! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! TWO THUMBS UP!",10 "... it is so tired it dates back to 1932. The first rendition was ""What Price Hollywood"" starring Constance Bennett as a woman who is looking for fame in the movies and Lowell Sherman as a director with a drinking and punctuality problem who discovers her while he still has some clout. In this version the starlet's husband is a sound citizen. The second version is from 1937 and stars Janet Gaynor in one of her last roles before her retirement as the country gal who comes to Hollywood seeking stardom. In this version it is the starlet's future husband (Fredric March) who discovers her and whose career goes downhill due to alcohol. In 1954 Judy Garland plays the actress on an uphill trajectory with James Mason as the matinee idol husband who is on a downhill slide. What is different here? Due to the actress playing the lead role, the star is made to be a great singer too so full advantage can be taken of Garland's voice. Why make a 1976 version? In this case both the woman on the rise/husband on the decline are singers exclusively. The movies have exited stage left. Also, this is the first post production code era version of the film, so you have sleeping around before marriage, graphic infidelity, drug addiction, and a close up view of the suicide scene. So now we have FOUR versions of this film. Why make a fifth? Because Hollywood is out of nerve. They want to go for the safe bet and safe buck. The plot for this fifth version is pretty close to the fourth. The differences I could see? The husband does not accidentally hit the wife during the award ceremony - if it's not PC it's not going to be in an American film. And finding the future singing sensation in a drag bar - not even in the post production code era would that have gone over in 1976. That's pretty much it. Oh, and therapists get involved in this one. Got to have therapists in these situations now, they are the priests of 21st century America. Other than that, no difference. Everybody carries themselves believably, nobody makes a fool of themself, but other than that - meh. Oh, one more thing. There is zero chemistry between the two leads - zilch, zip, nada. There was chemistry between each of the leads of all of the ones that came before it except for the 1932 film, and that was because the starlet's husband may have been a sober guy, but he was a bit of a caveman in how he treated his wife. My final verdict - for what they charge for going to the movies these days I would expect more. I predict that in 10 years this film will be as forgotten as Avatar is today, because both films are just that forgettable. It is merely the flavor du jour. You want music in your film? Go see Bohemian Rhapsody. That tells a story worth telling mainly because it is a biography so the script was pretty much already written. Just my two cents.",5 "This is a fun show, and its something different. We need more pure fun shows like this one. There's the pure carnage and violence element, a comedic element, and a romance element. It really gives you a lot. I didn't play the games so I don't know how accurate it is or whatever but yeah its a fun ride. Sweet tooth is definitely one of the more unique ""villains"" I've seen on TV and I'm not complaining. If you just wanna turn your brain off and enjoy some carnage and comedy then give it a go. It seems pretty well set up for a good second season too so hopefully this show catches some traction and they go ahead with season 2.",8 "I'll say this, it was very fun to watch and I am eagerly anticipating season 2... With all the super hero movies the last few years it was fun to watch one with a different twist. The character development was on point and the twists and turns were a fun ride... Well done Amazon... The only feedback I could give in this short review is to get hustling on Season 2!",9 I dare somebody to try to tell me the plot of this - bonus points if you can explain it in the less time than it took to watch the movie.,5 "Deadly, meaning D.O.A.. A turkey not a sparrow. No chemistry. Not believable. Long. Long. Long.",2 "Brilliant...just brilliant. An exhilarating movie experience which demands to be seen only on big screen for its rustic visuals which takes you straight into raw and rugged heartland. Very very entertaining as well and humor keeps you to the edge of the seat throughout. At times it reminded me of Sholay on epic, comedy and entertainment level.Though not for people with faint-heart, GOW bleeds excellence in almost every frame and every scene. An epic and brutal saga spanning over decades and generations. Its epic, visceral and poetic all at the same time. Watching GOW on big screen wasn't just watching a movie but an experience. An experience which also proves Anurag Kashyag as the face of new age Indian cinema after GOW, Black Friday, Dev-d. And how can I forget the brilliant No Smoking which was quite David Lynchish. Manoj Bajpayee is impeccable and irreplaceable in his career best performance. Music is fantastic and specially how well the music have been utilized is another USP of the movie. For example the beautiful ""Ik bagal mein chand hoga..ik bagal me rotiya"" from Piyush Mishra. Suddenly the mood and visual of the film changes. The song reminds you of some 50-60's lullaby and how poetically it has been shot reminds you of Bimol Roy's classic ""Do Beegha Zameen"". So many references of the era gone by...from those colorful posters to Bachchan era..to the era of violence and lawlessness of such places..at times it feels like poetry in motion. Just magnificent...Indian cinema at its best!!",9 "This movie was very well-shot and atmospheric, so it gives a truly emphatic sense of the journey that the main characters go through. But in typical Mani Ratnam fashion, he takes 30 minutes to establish what could be efficiently done in one scene, or even one line of dialogue. The movie doesn't seem to go anywhere in the entire first hour; SRK's seems to be a simplistic cartoon character, and Manisha Koirala's is enigmatic but one tone. It is only when the action shifts to another location that the characters start to show some depth and the movie gets going. The movie belongs to Manisha Koirala for her hauntingly powerful performance. She portrays every aspect of her character with a stark realism that few actresses would have the courage or talent to embody. SRK is good but nothing to shout about here. Preity Zinta excels at her role and adds more perspective to the story. It is good in how close it stays to the characters rather than deviating from them to tackle the issues it raises, and the songs make it memorable.",8 "The Witcher had everything in it to be something for me to thoroughly enjoy: a rich fantasy setting, an epic main character played by a formidable actor and lots of schemes and betrayal. Plus, I hadn't read the books - that seems to be a problem for many as well. But season 3 simply isn't much of a story anymore. Characters' motives for doing things are either too vague or simply not properly developed. The way characters suddenly pop up where the story needs them to be without even attempting to explain how they got there is also very confusing. But most of all, the lack of a plot other than 'everyone wants to capture Ciri for very unspecified reasons' is the biggest buzzkill of all. Really a big waste of opportunity and recourses. I can appreciatie why Henry Cavill decided to call it quits.",5 "I often get tired of hearing ""The book is better than the movie"". I tend to give a lot of leeway to film adaptations of novels, understanding that there is often far too much material to delve into and that some things just don't work as well on screen as they do on the page. In this case, we have a clear example of a captivating, soulful, and socially insightful work of fiction completely stripped of any of the qualities that make it great. The action sequences in the film are fantastic, of course, if a little too fast to appreciate at times. I shan't get into details, but Wade's sheer wishy-washiness in the film, the lack of character development, the absence of genuine camaraderie, the lackadaisical writing, the formulaic speeches, and the addition of hackneyed structural tropes all combine to make the film much less than it could have been.",2 "A blunt misunderstanding can deteriorate everything that comes good in a relationship. This movie is a good exploration of this situation, that can lead two people's life, who love each other in a confined space of torturing hell. Parineeta had awesome actors who did well acting, Vidya Balan, Saif Ali Khan and Sanjay Dutt. The story is a love triangle and it connects dot with three of them, played as Lolita, Shekhar and Girish. Lolita is shown as a simple, responsible girl, who is been misunderstood. Shekhar is a possessive character, at least that is what I perceive and he enjoys playing music a lot. While Girish, this character is mature than other two, he is a man who keeps his tongue intact and is sensible and understanding.",8 "Following the witcher Geralt of Rivia as he slays monsters and swings swords, The Witcher Netflix series sometimes feels more like it takes inspiration from the video game series than it does the books. This is felt even more in season 2 where there were comments going around that Henry Cavill (who plays Geralt) knew more on set about the source material and lore often than its own creators, inserting lines and giving opinions. I think that's fine for Henry but ultimately poor for the series at large. After the ""success"" of Game of Thrones, this and shows like it (the recent Wheel of Time come to mind, tho have yet to see it) feel more like large high fantasy canon that producers knew they could throw money at than they do true passion projects. The CGI and monsters in The Witcher are kinda cool, though the mixing of potions and herbs is done in a kinda lame way and I definitely felt the fight scenes fell a bit flat season 2, the first season was generally stronger all around. The plot is still difficult to follow, but I roughly knew what was happening at any given time. I'll probably still watch season 3 whenever it comes out but that's more because I'm a glutton for narrative punishment than it is an endorsement of the series. S3 UPDATE: I did watch season 3, and I must say, after the train-wreck that was the poorly received prequel mini-series Blood Origin I was not hyped for this at all and expected the worst, but I really don't think it's as bad as many are saying. The plot is still fairly convoluted and quite hard to follow and the CGI is pretty mid, but the pilot was probably the most enjoyable episode since season 1 in my opinion. The rest does go a bit too much into kinda lame, often predictable drawn out politics / drama, but that's the kinda thing that's hip these days so I get it. Set pieces and wardrobe are as impressive as ever but the majority of times the show tries for humour it falls flat, and rarely lands. Cavill leaving is likely a fairly big loss for season 4, but if you've come this far you're likely going to watch it anyway and I think the studios know that. If you've never started the series, at this point I probably wouldn't recommend, but if you're already caught up and are still interested in more, yeah... iiit's all content.",6 Moon knight has a awesome story but the action scenes were not AS GOOD but I never felt anything was out of place since the story covered it. First 2 episodes might be boring but after that It is AMAZING.,8 The other reviewers have said it better than me. This movie is a pointless mess.,1 "This doesn't make any sense.

The film is filled with clichéd scenes and one-liners, terrible dialogue and undeveloped characters. Darcy's only purpose in the movie is to deliver extremely annoying one-liners... was this supposed to be funny? And who thought Tom Hiddleston would make a good Loki? It seems like the script was written around the well-done CGI effects... and that's it. I was hoping for an entertaining action-packed film, but instead I got a cringe-worthy collection of clichés. Why are Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman (all right, after Black Swan) in this film? Skip this one. I also find it highly suspicious that the reviews for this film here either have 1 star or 10 stars. It seems the marketing machine is working well.",4 "Much like its predecessor, the CGI is great, with wonderful costumes, and fascinating characters. One thing I appreciate is the character development. I have switched sides several times rooting for Alicent then something will occur then I find myself rooting for Rhaeynera. Both women and their families are complex. I loathe and love Dameon similtaneously. Very well written. The dragons look amazing and are well used in the story. Now for the bad. The story is a little slow and can use more action sequences and shock factor. Despite this, it is setting up a solid foundation and I look forward for the seasons to come.",7 Could be a amazing series to watch with family. Just some offensive words restricted it from reaching lots of hearts. Sad why everyone have to use these offensive words.,8 "Mix of the madelorian and merlin. With a bit of fan service for gamers. Definately not a serious program though.",9 "I just created my IMDb account and my first rating that i did was 'Sherlock', for 10/10. This show is simply amazing and is such a compelling adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. The characters may not be spot on but everything else about it, i love. To me this show is amazing it is so thought out and i can tell there was so much effort put into this. You can't help but to fall in love with the characters. This show is what i wait for, for two years for the next season to come out but i love it with all my heart. It made me laugh, frustrated and cry.

Zzz,2 "When the original Spiderman hit the big screen in 2002, it helped to reinvigorate the comic book movie franchise. While the sequel has its corny moments, Spiderman 2 stays true to the first film both visually and in the spirit of the characters. The film builds on the story from the first movie, where Peter Parker first learns of his unique, spider-like abilities. If you're watching a sequel, chances are you've seen the first movie. Therefore, this go-around is geared towards developing the characters and their relationships. Peter, a.k.a. Spiderman, is having trouble dealing with his double life, balancing a job and classes with his duties as a masked crime-fighter. His love interest, Mary Jane Watson, has grown tired of waiting for him and is engaged to a wealthy space cadet. Parker's best friend, Harry Osborn, is still dealing with the death of his father, for which he blames Spiderman. Throw a new villain into the mix, Dr. Otto Octavius, and there you have it. Director Sam Raimi uses the same style he did in the first movie, but makes significant advances in special effects. The moving tentacles of ""Doc Ock,"" in particular, helped earn Spiderman 2 an Academy Award nomination for best visual effects. As expected, Tobey Maguire delivers as Peter Parker. His shy, gawky demeanor is perfect for the role and fans of the series can only hope he stays on for the duration of the franchise. He was rumored to have been replaced by Jake Gyllenhaal for this film due to a back injury, but stuck with the project. His status for Spiderman 3 is up in the air. Alongside Maguire, Kirsten Dunst's performance as M.J. is so comic book-like that you can almost envision a box over her head containing her lines. While not the best actress in some situations, she is definitely the perfect choice for this role, a part that requires a certain amount of overplaying at times. Then, there are the character actors, most notably J.K. Simmons as Jonah Jameson and Alfred Molina as ""Doc Ock."" Both do a fine job and add something special to their scenes. Molina has a presence about him that oozes complexity. You can feel the internal conflict between ""Doc Ock"" and Otto Octavius, especially towards the end of the film when Octavius tries to pry himself away from the prosthetic tentacles that bind him. Several potential villains are introduced subtly throughout the film as well, although I won't spoil the surprises for fans of the original comic book. Hopefully, those fans will get to see these new villains in many future installments of the franchise. As long as the core of Raimi, Maguire and Dunst stays in tact, moviegoers can always expect a treat from their friendly neighborhood Spiderman.",8 I watched the first 30-40 minutes and then stopped because I was so bored. This movie is extremely overrated.,5 "If this movie was supposed to be a horror movie, then you can safely consider it comedy horror; and a BAD one at that.",3 The scenes with Eddie and the creatures are amazing. The rest is just embarrassing. Cringing in my pants.,2 "I had a suspicion this movie wouldn't be that good whenI saw the opening scene that was supposed to be set in Missouri, when there were mountains in the background of a height that don't exist there. I waited until the end of the credits, and discovered that the movie was filmed in the Great Smoky mountains of North Carolina. That's a pet peeve of mine: movies where the locale is essential, or at least important, to the plot, but where they're shot hundreds of miles away, usually because of nice tax write offs for filming in a certain state or country. I can sum up this piece of crap with: it contains the foulest language I've ever seen in a movie - - language that was not just unnecessary, but absurd in terms of how people talk to each other; the plot is so improbable so as to be laughable; the acting was any thing but good, except for Woody Harrelson's. Hollywood liked the movie because it took swings at white, small-town America and its citizens - - read Trump voters. Don't go see--or don't rent or buy-- this piece of junk if you haven't already.",3 "The original Godfather is a brilliant work. It is in a sense a voyeuristic delight, allowing us to see the mafia from the inside - we become part of the family. It single-handedly change the world's view of organized crime, and created a cast of sympathetic characters, none of whom have a shred of common morality. It was the highest grossing movie of its time and Brando created a cultural icon whose influence resonates as strong today as it did in 1972. As extraordinary an achievement as this is, Part II is even better. It easily receives my nod as the best picture ever made. I have seen it at least 20 times, and each time its 200 minutes fly by. The movie uses flashbacks to brilliantly weave two tales. The main story is the reign of Michael Corleone as the world's most powerful criminal. Now reaping the benefits of legalized gambling in Las Vegas, Michael is an evident billionaire with an iron fist on a world of treachery. Behind this, Director Francis Ford Coppola spins the tale of the rise of Michael's father, Vito, to the center of the New York mafia. It is these scenes that make the film a work of art. Without spoiling, I will simply say the Robert DeNiro as the young Vito is the best acting performance of all time, a role for which he won a richly deserved Oscar. The screenplay is full of delicious little underworld nuggets (""Keep your friends close ....."", ""I don't want to kill everyone, just my enemies""), while it blows a dense, twisted plot past you at a dizzying and merciless pace. The cinematography is depressing and atmospheric. The score continues in the eerie role of its predecessor, foretelling death and evil. All of this makes the movie great and infinitely watchable. But it's what's deeper inside this film ... what it is really about ... that is its true genius. The Godfather Part II is not really a movie about the mafia, it is a movie about a man's life long struggle.",10 This episode felt like if Studio Ghibli would make an Attack on Titan episode. Beautiful storytelling and visuals.,10 THIS MOVIE SHOULD HAVE NEVER MADE IT TO THE OSCARS.,5 "I watched loki after watching hawkeye but loki is the best mcu series so far, i loved every second of it, not a single boring episode, show made me love loki as a character more.",9 "(This review contains some facts from the show, but no spoilers that would ruin it for new fans.) I had heard about all of the buzz about this apparently breakout hit, 24. I decided to watch a marathon of season 1 before the all-new fifth season was to air. I finished watching it with simply one word at the end: ""Wow"". I was hooked immediately, So hooked, that I watched seasons 2-4 just before the new one was to air. I loved it, and I still do. 24, if you do not know already, is a show about Federal agent Jack Bauer who works for the CTU (Counter Terrorsit Unit). But the unique and amazing thing about 24 is that it's the only scripted TV series to be in real-time. Every episode is an hour, and every season is a day. It's hard to believe with all of the action, urgency and excitement, but it's true. The show entertains you by giving you Jack Bauer, an intense field-agent who fires weapons, tortures, interrogates and even stuffs towels down people's throats. (You heard me.) The action and drama he is in, or causes, is immense. You get sucked into the show even more when you first see it's plot twists and addictive cliff-hangers that will always leave you asking at the end of every episode: ""What's gonna happen next?"" The acting is great. Keifer Sutherland does a fantastic job as the protagonist Jack Bauer. Lots of explosions for the action/thriller fans, and of course, drama. But the show isn't perfect. Because the show is in real-time, it shows it's viewers multiple stories and side-plots that intervene with the main story. This is a great idea, except for the fact that some side-stories are about Jack's daughter, Kim, running in the forest nearly getting attacked by a mountain lion (it may sound interesting in words, but when you see it, you realize how meaningless and dumb it is). But after season three, they finally scratched that out making the show better. And there's also the disappointment of some episodes, as well. You've gotten to the end of a great episode, expecting the usual cliffhanger/twist to happen, and it doesn't. Trust me, this can leave you infuriated. Thankfully, it doesn't happen often. And when it does, you'll be VERY glad you decided to watch this show. But another very important aspect of 24 is the main character, himself. Jack Bauer is not your average person. He's saved a president twice, stopped two nuclear attacks from killing millions of lives, driven a van into a building after believing that his daughter was killed, and he went into cardiac arrest TWICE, and was revived both times. His skills as a durable person from torture, and a great interrogator makes him a great character, but also the fact that he always breaks the rules to get things done, whether they're legal or not. Like he said to his former employer: ""That's the problem with people like you, George. You want results, but you never want to get your hands dirty. I'd start rolling up your sleeves."" All in all, this is probably one of the best shows on television. If you get the First Season on DVD for a gift, don't you even think of returning it. It will probably be the biggest mistake you'll ever make. 9.5/10.0",10 "Season 1 was spectacular, season 2 was solid, but season 3? Horrible. It's not worth watching season 3 and it ruined quite a bit of what I enjoyed about the other seasons.",7 WHY the disgusting and crude language - its total unnecessary and detracts from a great show. I would've given it more stars. Please tone it down in future episodes,6 I'm glad I stuck with this movie because the 2nd hour is definitely worth it,7 "The motive for me to watch this movie was Daniel Craig and I am not even one bit sorry that I watched it. The movie was both classical and pioneer at the same time. The plot line was written cleverly. And I think the timeline was really great about this movie. I'm not even gonna start with the cast because the cast was just perfection. Everyone was a great pick for their character. And you never get bored when you watch the movie because it is so catchy and it is making you wonder, It is making you curious about the stuff that might happen. It's actually not that hard to solve that crime, but there are so many options that you wonder which one is correct. At the end of the day this movie was just great to watch alone, or with friends.",7 Maybe it's cause I didn't read the comics but if you have two people in one body I'd like to imagine the one being taken over would remember all the stuff that happens instead of waking up in a comedic panic and making a fool of himself... The action is very MEH and the SGI is terrible.,2 "Even though they are just quick clips, I love the music in this show.",7 "A great concept, perfectly cast actors in interesting characters, given a fantastic script with adequate directing. The length of the episodes and of the whole season allows the construction of an accurate narrative device. Bravo, Netflix. You did it again.",9 "This was enjoyable as all Marvel is - but Two things: -Moon Knight is a cool looking superhero:early on it looks like we'll see a lot of him but it never works out that way. This was more an Indiana Jones in Egypt type story Oscar Isaac is a very good actor but he's not so good here - I know a lot of people will really like it, but for a professional it's honestly not that hard to do what he does in this. Ethan Hawke really shows him up here Glad they went for a new character and world here with little woke, it wasn't an unnecessary change to a great character (Loki) or full of questionable morals (Wandavision and Captain Falcon). So for that it gets a solid tick.",6 I'm sure there's a clever idea in here but it's trying too hard at being something different but in the end just fails.,5 "There is only one good thing in this show and that is camera work. It's a cliche fest like Twilight. There's no chemistry between the main characters and the plot seems stupid. I have watched the first 4 episodes and I had to keep long pauses between every five minutes because the show is so embarrassing. I will not waste more of my time on this. Don't be fooled by great reviews, many of them must be fake. You will only like this if you like Twilight movies.",1 "Well, this movie was, simply put, amazing. It was everything I hoped for, Action (of course its a superhero flick), love, revenge, but most of all, much like love, real human emotions. The greatest thing that makes us all love Spider-man is that he lives in all of us. Maybe we can't all sling cool web around New York, but we have that hero that lies within us. Whether it is shown through good or evil it is there. However, we can't let it take us over. And I believe that is what happens to Peter/Spider-man. It becomes too much, but a balance and an understanding of the idea of with great power comes great responsibility runs throughout this film especially in the second half. The performances were all around well done, Doc Ock was particularly good, the returning cast memebers have all really grown into their characters. That was a pleasant, but none-to-unexpected surprise. GO SEE THIS MOVIE! Take your kids, it shows real human emotions, the balances we all go through in life. This is the Amazing Spider-man... SPIDER-MAN 2... I can't wait for Spider-man 3!!!",10 An tv show's first episode is supposed to draw you in and get you to watch the 2nd episode with Wandavison they fail to draw you in after 2 episodes. It's just plain and boring !,1 "A group of wealthy guest travel by boat to a private island to experience ""Hawthorn"" an exclusive restaurant run by the famous celebrity chef Julian Slowik. At $1250.00 a head and a limit of 12 customers total, this meal promises to be the culinary experience of a lifetime. ""He's not just a chief, he's a story teller""- Tyler As dinner begins, Chief Slowik presents each course, in which he delivers very a dramatic story that turns into very disturbing monologues.... really long monologues. But when the ""Taco Tuesday"" course introduces Chief's new laser-printed images on the tortillas, the guests are not happy. Each tortilla reveals very uncomfortable secrets of each guest. During the fourth course, the sous-chef, Jeremy is introduced.... And he just suddenly, for no reason, kills himself! Or did he. Is this all just a theatrical dinner show? ""It's official. Tonight will be madness."" - Tyler Then Chief Slowik announces that he hand picked each guest because they contributed to him losing his passion for creating food..... Except Margot. Margot was not invited. Margot has upset Chief's plan.... And Margot does not like Chief's food. ""I don't like your food,"" and I would like to send it back."" - Margot Finally Chief Slowik reveals his big plan for everyone. ""So once again, thank you for dining with us tonight. You represent the ruin of my art and my life, and now you get to be a part of it."" - Chief Slowik I really wanted this movie to be good. The trailer looked promising, great actors, and a really good idea. But that is all. This is a very badly written script. It should have been edgy and eerie, full of mystery and suspense. But it is just slow and boring and just stupid and weird. ""This is what your paying for"" - Chief Slowik. Cast - Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, Reed Birney, Judith Light, Aimee Carrero, John Leguizamo.",2 "I appreciate this was a tragedy within a huge world wide tragedy. Hundreds of thousands of men lost their lives fighting for the good of mankind. The occurrence in history is one which brings years to my eyes. This film however, doesn't. I really don't understand how this film can be so overrated!! It has Harry Styles in it for gods sake. It captures some of the fear and danger but all we had was Cillian Murphy showing any signs of ""shellshock"" or any signs of war whatsoever. I've laid this film off for a couple of years to try and forget the hype before I watch it and, well, although it's decent it's not quite the awesome film I was expecting. Not quite Saving Private Ryan is it.",7 "Brutal movie and important topic, but by the end of day it was something I really would have preferred not to have seen. Too disturbing for my tastes. Jake Gyllenhaal was quite good, very believable as his concerned character, and I felt what he felt more than once. However, he was utterly reckless as well in his role, so the runaway rogue cop was much less believable due to contrasting elements. And then, as all the pieces come together, the characters got rather thin and wooden, and the wrap up rather contrite, packaged too neatly for much of a reveal. Not my fav for a variety of reasons, and would have been just as happy not viewing. Do not recommend.",2 I've always been a fan of dark comedy. Some scenes are little bit cliche but I just overlooked it. Loved all the characters and their stories. The actors did really well. Anurag Basu did good. Overall a nice movie.,8 "It's been a long time since I've seen a movie that made me uncomfortable from a horror perspective. Practical affects and good acting made it very intens and had me on edge during some of the scenes. Very impressed that they created a full circle immersive story with limited budget. Characters are a bit cringy (18 year olds are kinda cringy in real life). But the acting was great and choices believable most of the times. The ending makes you think about the perspective of the film and doesn't feel crowd pleasing or easy. I would definitely give this one a chance if you like well executed practical effects and a fresh view on a classic teen possession film.",9 "As other people have accurately stated, it's basically just The Happening all over again... you know that other pathetic horror movie that came out years ago with Mark Wahlberg.... Bird Box is just another cliche overrated horror/thriller if you can even call it that full of bad acting and characters you don't care about... This movie feels like it was made by a film crew that live in a bird box....",1 "Sad and disgraceful that all WHITE AUSTRALIANS defend this movie. Let's show a barney bada$$ white savior who dispatches a bunch of ""brown"" people! Yay!",1 "If this movie came out maybe twenty-years ago it would have been fine, in fact it may have become my favourite. However, I am one of those people who if I see the same film too often, whether I like the film or not, I will get sick of it and never wish to view it again. That goes for this film, I was sick of it way before I even saw it. How is that possible? Well, I think anyone else who has seen Avatar would know the answer to that; because the story has been used one thousand times already! Anyone who can't see this exact story in at least three other films really hasn't watched many movies before. C'mon! The only thing that they changed was the genre, but the things that made the film Science Fiction have also all been plucked from something else. I find it virtually impossible searching for anything original that can be found in Avatar. Then again, I suppose I can just not watch any other film for the next fifty years and then watch Avatar again. Maybe I won't be sick of it anymore.",4 I had to turn it off like Transformers: The Last Knight. Another absurd action movie from Bay.,2 "Why these idiot writers directors have to play with hindu gods, symbols. Please leave us alone.",1 It's a simple life story. But simple life is not that simple for underprivileged. It's story of struggle for simple life. It hits you hard with reality you choose to ignore. Superb music and background score.great direction. All kids are awesome in film. Must watch.,10 Very disappointed in this effort Netflix. Bad writing. Bad acting. Poorly imagined characters. Way too fast pacing. It's about as bad as it could. I expect this kind of junk on The CW. I'm glad the new season of Expanse has started...,1 "I can't believe Sandra Bullock did this movie. She must be getting desperate. This isn't even artsy, this is just ridiculous. I wish I could get the 2 hours back I wasted seeing this movie. No Good Plot, just a bad story and even worse acting.",1 "When I first saw the trailers for Jojo Rabbit (2019), I thought this movie looked like a fun and satirical romp through Nazi Germany. With the director (Taika Waititi) portraying an imaginary Adolf Hitler, the comedy was in full display during the trailers. After all, Waititi directed Thor: Ragnarok (2017), which is arguably one of the funniest films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Plus, Jojo Rabbit seemed to focus on a 10-year-old boy (Roman Griffin Davis) in the Hitler Youth, which gave some strong Boy Scout vibes that I could potentially relate to. Unfortunately, I was somewhat disappointed to find that the trailers contained all the comedy in Jojo Rabbit. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, as the remainder of the film gave some amount of cynicism and reality to the fanatical enthusiasm of Jojo and the other members of the Hitler Youth. In fact, there's a significant scene that really hits home with the constant theme of tying shoelaces leading up to (and after) this emotional moment. At its base, Jojo Rabbit also has to show the ugliness of war. It highlights the contrast between the nastiness of the real Hitler and the silliness of an imaginary Hitler. While it wasn't entirely what I expected, Jojo Rabbit did deliver in a few key areas. First off, the feel of the whole film seemed reminiscent of Moonrise Kingdom (2012), which is one of my favorite Wes Anderson films (again, see my connection to the Boy Scouts). Add in heavy doses of The Diary of Anne Frank (1959) and All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), and the result is this unique take on life in Germany during World War II. It might not have been entirely what I had expected (toning down and trimming a lot of the aspects from the book, Caging Skies), but it was entirely what I needed to see. A funny and poignant view of WWII from the eyes of a German boy, I give Jojo Rabbit 3.5 stars out of 5.",7 "Black mirror is non episodic, have many exciting stories.",9 "Fantastic action and fight scenes with great choreography, but only average if not cliche plot-wise. The plot is unnecessarily convoluted and dull. It's the same boring fictional political drama carried over from Infinity War, Endgame, Civil War, etc. I'm so tired of superhero movies trying to be political dramas but just end up repeating the same shallow 'social commentary' that's been sanitized and recycled to death in hollywood. So many subplots and new characters all crammed together that nothing gets the proper development it needs. Often these new concepts are simplified down to just passing lines of dialogue in order to condense things rather than taking time to show us. For a show so short and almost constantly moving, I found myself checking my phone a lot waiting for things to get interesting again. Frankly, the whole plot surrounding the girl and her terrorist super-soldier group could've been cut. I've seen it before (in the Marvel universe too!) and it brought nothing new to the table. But where it concerns Bucky and Sam together it's great. All the actors do a great job, and Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie have just as much chemistry on screen as off screen. If you like Bucky Barnes and like watching Bucky Barnes beating people/things up like I do, then it'll be well worth the watch. If you're just looking for some good action, it'll give you that too.",7 "There will be no spoiler alerts needed, because I don't have the energy to include any. I will just use some phrases - sophomoric, silly, unbelievable. A few more - scientifically sloppy, highly derivative, utterly predictable. Oh - did I say dull? A few more phrases - horrific acting, dreadful dialog, and the kiss of death - insignificant. Why Hollywood feels that they have to spend a fortune producing this kind of vapid crap is beyond me. Do they have no respect for the intellect of their audiences? Are they simply lazy? We are at the end of watching The Sopranos from beginning to end for the third time - rich plot, character development, and acting. We anxiously await the next seasons of Fargo and Homeland. We miss dearly Six Feet Under. Oh, yes - The Martian. *****yawn***** Don't waste your time or your money - or your brain cells!",2 "The crux of this series is that it takes way too long to create it's momentum. This series is a bit of a slog in the first four episodes, and only the last two are mildly entertaining. The story is a bit thin, the only hook this series has, is the 'passing out' structure like in Nolan's Memento and the pact with a nefarious higher being like in Death Note or Venom. It honestly didn't really do much for me. The series tries too hard to be funny and it's just so wishy-washy as usual from Marvel. The villain is is also the same guy we've seen in so many marvel movies and with the same evil purple light (think of the bland villain of Doctor Strange) . There's some interesting bits here and there when it goes into serious areas, but it gets immediately buried under some weird choices (like the Hippo). There are some moments where I thought ""this is actually a ballsy choice"" but no, of course several things get reverted and we are back with the status quo as expected. Too bad, this had some real potential, but it got bugged down by contrived and unoriginal action scenes and quips. 4vout of 10.",4 "I thought it was just the first episode that was weak and a waste of time, so persevered to a second episode. Bigger waste of time. What can you expect from Black Mirror? Bad acting, lack of direction, poorly spoken English ""actors"" (they can't act, not even Rupert Everett delivers anything credible), lack of ....well everything you want in a series that has so much hype. The hype is completely unwarranted. Do yourself a favor and just move on to some quality shows like these: Billions; The Good Wife; Damages; The Affair; Rectify; Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Comedy); House of Cards; Better Call Saul or even Fargo (Series I only, Series II loses its way). All of these have great character and plot development, talented actors, great stories lines and twists, and give you plenty to think about and talk about. Throwing dog poo on a wall might be considered art to some, but it's not. Black Mirror might be considered art, but it's not!",1 "I don't understand what all these bad ratings complain about. In fact, this movie is amazingly good! What else did you want or expect? Seriously, it had everything, action, continuity, great acting and storyline, romance, humor, it was simply amazing, as also was the first Venom movie. Now, we only hope for another or even many more Venom movies. Actually looking forward to watching them as soon as possible. What else? In case you didn't like it, maybe you didn't understand it, or maybe you simply don't like this type of movies. However, you do not have to be a hater; admit that in any case it was at least a good movie (certainly not a bad one).",10 Saw all the critics trading the show which has dropped one episode so I knew it couldn't be that bad and I sure was right! Awesome first episode and I'm looking forward to this ride!,8 "I love this show. None of the usual moral scrouples, these supes just do what they like not so much BS. Cant wait for more seasons.",9 "Surprisingly just saw the movie pretty late , I can seriously imagine this film might be a super big one during those days , aamir and Juhi delivered great performance and so is the supporting cast of the movie .",5 "This movie had an interesting concept and it's probably a shame that this movie came out the same year as A Quiet Place. Bullock was awesome in the role, but I feel like if they picked one part of the story and focused on that, it may have grabbed me a bit more. For example, just focusing on the part in the house, or the part on the river/in the woods.",6 "Avatar is a round series - main character has its story, perfectly delivered, and so do the rest of the characters. The viewer can relate to them all, easily. The story and sub-plots are great, the atmosphere is rather masterpiece-y, in the sense that it weaves together oriental philosophy, martial arts stuff, life lessons and things about the meaning of life. It presents as a creation that needs no improvement.",9 "Wonderful film for young people, fun and irreverent that deals with the problems of young teenage friends in a very strong way. In general, the plot is a little sombre but not trivial and has moments that seem not so well written.",9 "I adored Ryan Gosling as Ken, and Margot Robbie was perfect as Barbie. (Parents, this is not a movie for little kids.) The beginning was hopeful and I loved the cast and the amazing set of Barbie Land. Barbie's playhouse was amazing! But as it went on, it became way too political and preachy and went downhill. If I did this movie, I would have made it a love story between Ken and Barbie and had them get married, making use of all the cool Barbie toys and her friends. But of course that would have been strangely politically incorrect, even though that's what most people still do these days. So it was a way cool set, amazing cast, but way too political for my taste.",5 "This movie is a funny movie and probably the funniest movie ever tied with I now pronounce you chuck and larry. It is basically a movie that is about 3 teenagers who are not popular in school, until they have a chance by setting up a party and than stating that they can get beer for a party. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera are funny as hell in this great comedy and I have never ever laughed as much as I did in this movie I mean I could not even stop laughing but for a total of maybe 3 mins in the entire movie. Anyways that about sums it up for me I recommend you rent the movie for urself and give it a try and I gaurantee you will have to buy it afterward.......",10 "Its an supernatural suspance thriller series but I predicted the main villain in 4th episode.. Netflix also promoting lesbian culture in that series.. I dont know why western writers promoting lesbian, gay culture so desperately Performances : #JennaOrtega looks beautiful and smart as #WednesdayAddams, #HunterDoohan looks cute as #TylerGalpin and all others artists also fabulous job Technical : good vfx work, good screenplay, good dialogues, average writting.. Final words : Normal audience will enjoy it more because they cant predict the suspance but pro audience may predict suspance of the show in 3rd or 4th episode.",7 "This movie is quite a rarity when it comes to the success of comic book superheroes making their appearance on the big screen. Pre-90/95 efforts may have been quite good but the current 21st century efforts at making flashy versions of the classics have almost always been failures even though they had a few good things going for them. Not so in Spiderman's case. While the first movie itself was quite good, this sequel is almost flawless in terms of story, acting, action and special effects. The direction and screenplay are also very good and the cinematography is just unbelievable. There's little more to be said. Just go watch this movie if you have'nt done so already. You'll be impressed without doubt.",10 "(edited to add: Have noticed people who've given it a 10-star rating are getting an unhelpful rating by, I'm assuming, one individual.. given the fact that several of the most recent 10-star reviews have ""0 out of 1 helpful"". How very childish...) I absolutely LOVED this movie. I won't give a thing away (although I'm sure most have already read the book!). I just want to say how I loved it all: the acting, the directing, the screenplay, the effects done just right, the overall tone... as close to perfection as a movie can be. I am so grateful that this series has grown with our kids. My oldest is now 18 and was a little child when the first movie came out. Rather than being dumbed down, it's grown, become more mature, darker, as it should (think the opposite of the Star Wars prequel to understand what I mean). Excellent! Will be seeing it again a few more times before the DVD release.",10 This American team can become the second half of the league. It's a superhero star game with lots of people. The final fighting scene showed everyone's skills and was very exciting.,8 I thought Red Sparrow was an excellent film. It called for just enough suspension of disbelief to be real. Two more based on this series should grow into a wonderful trilogy.,6 "I try my best to see all best picture nominations before the Oscars. This was one of three that kept me from my goal but I was determined to see it especially after it won. I sincerely feel the academy missed their mark this year. What a mishmash of headache causing chaos. Not at all enjoyable in my opinion. Just glad I did not pay to see it on the big screen. I feel like I got the message, I just didn't enjoy the ride. Not sure that I agree with the supporting or best actor/actress awards from the movie either. Maybe the academy is striving to be inclusive but missing the mark in the process.",4 "It is a beautiful and well acted movie. But this type of film is not my cup of tea. They managed to not make it feel too ""theatrical"" but still I felt that the characters were a bit ""plastic"" and the plot - ""who did it?"" - is not something I am terribly interested in.",6 "In brief this movie deserves 10+ for the efforts in putting together unbelievable movie full of visual effects... The best effects ever... Yet they were not that natural in some parts (Especially l hated that Sigourney's smile, while she was a Na'vi... very disappointing!...) On the other hand due to some clichés and lack of originality in the story (which makes the movie totally predictable which is somewhat disappointing too) it is like watching 3D documentary on IMAX... I suggest you to watch Luc Besson's ''Home''... visually unbelievable too except all of it is real!... So the story deserves less than 8 in my opinion... If you put the facts together this could be the best movie produced in recent years yet it's definitely not comparable to Lord of The Rings though... They should've worked one the story more... I just don't believe that in whole 3 hours I watched a story which I could tell my friends in 5 minutes... If you ask me if I liked the movie, Yes I did indeed... (if not complaining of tired eyes due to my first real 3D experience)... still there were many reasons to cut some points... You'll definitely watch it in the end... You'll like Toruk Macto!... But I had to share my opinion and tell the truth... Wish you a nice time at cinema...",2 "While I was watching the first episode I was trying to decide if the show is mediocre or simply bad. By the time it ended it was clear that it's absolutely awful and impossible to watch. Terrible acting, predictable dialogues and incredibly shallow and plain characters. What I can't understand though is how it got such a high rating .",3 "It is 111 if you are not using spaces. This movies was without question the most boring movie I have seen in a long time. And, I invited my friend to come with me since he doesn't go to the movies often and now he is mad at me because he hated it also. Now, don't get me wrong, I am thoroughly an Iron Man fan and read the comic most of my young life. But I think the movie was a movie designed to further the franchise. The setup for the Avengers is now strongly in place as they spent a very large part of the movie harping the Avengers. It took almost two hours before we even get to see the suit do anything worth watching. They spent more time showcasing Scarlet fighting than they did with Iron Man. Robert Downey also proves that he just gets more irritating as he gets older. That and whoever said Jon Favreau and Gwynneth Paltrow are stars should be put on trial. The four main characters just do not go together and the fact that they took out the best performer from the first one - Terence, is quite sad. I like Don Cheadle as much as the next guy but he doesn't even come close to making Rhodes believable. This movie has taken a terrible step back and should not be seen by anyone.",1 "I honestly did not care for this film. Was cool to see the villains and the other two Spider-Man from the older films altogether, that's about it. The post-credit scenes I thought were more exciting than the whole movie.",2 The editing in the movies is a mess it confuses the viewer and some action scenes was good overall if you have patience watch this. Avoiding some of the action scenes and ryan reynolds comedies this movie is soo bad.,5 This movie was just pathetic and boring. I liked DCU because of it's a bit more serious and adult than MCU but this is a child movie.,5 "Directed like an apple product commercial. The problem was not the technical aspects of the film (although very stretched at times), but the writing. It's so cheesy and unbelievable at times that it is kind of entertaining (in a funny way). I do like the main actor, but the supporting cast was not great at all. Too bad that the scenario was just written with two feet, it is a missed opportunity.",6 "A stone cold performance from Emma and the goose is cooked where Ryan is concerned. Any attempts to recreate the chemistry of so-called Hollywood golden classics it attempts to emulate are a weak fizz. Slow and contrived, the plot is weaker than a cup of tea made from a tenth dunk of the bag. An imminently forgettable score appears built around one pleasant enough motif but is bashed beyond compare. There is richness in the jazz that underpins it all but much like its syncopated rhythms, this one misses the beat. No more so than in the much hyped opening scene: I was hoping someone might get some road rage and move the story on. The critical hype is clearly written by those with their heads firmly placed in la la land.",1 "Fargo is one of the greatest films ever made,a Classic Masterpiece of cinema that mixes Crime Drama and Black Comedy. Filled with brilliant direction,a great cast,a wonderful script,beautiful photography and an unforgettable haunting score,Fargo is The Coen Brothers and filmmaking at it's best. Set in Minnesota 1987 and Based on a True story,Fargo tells the story of Jerry Lundegaard(William H. Macy),a used car salesman who is now in debt and owes money. Feeling desperate,Jerry hires criminals Carl Showalter(Steve Buscemi)and Gaear Grimsrud(Peter Stormare)to kidnap Jerry's wife Jean Lundegaard(Kristen Ruddrud)for ransom. But when things go wrong and people are killed,Jerry,Carl and Gaear and the killings are being investigated by pregnant cop Marge Gunderson(Francis McDormand)and things become more chaotic and out of control. Fargo is an unforgettable Classic Masterpiece that came out at the right time for The Coen Brothers. After the critical and Box Office failure of their hilarious and underrated big budgeted period Comedy The Hudsucker Proxy,The Coen Brothers decided to return to the low budget roots of their first film Blood Simple and make Fargo an amazing film that was critically acclaimed,won multiple film awards and became one of The Coen Brothers career defining and greatest films. Fargo is one of the reason that cinema and filmmaking is such a great art form because Fargo right from the start gives you a film that will have you glued to the screen with it's themes of greed,death and violence and the themes and film experience for Fargo never loses it's power after the film is over. What also makes Fargo an incredible film is it's great mixture of Crime Drama with Black Comedy mixing serious things like murder and kidnapping and combing it with morbid Humor because The Coens are masters at taking serious things that are not supposed to be funny and making them hilarious. The Black Comedy in this film is very funny,surprising and unexpected whether it's the films characters their dialog or the situations the characters are involved in and the Comedy is original and bleak and you will never look at the Midwest the same way again. The Cinematography by Roger Deakins is beautiful,haunting and effective giving the Midwest and Minessota a great scenery and wide landscape despite all of the truly horrible things going on throughout the film. Deakins amazing and flawless photography also makes the snow and Winter atmosphere just come off the screen and when a character is walking in the snow or the cold you as the viewer feel like you are right there in the snow. Marge Gunderson is a great character and maybe one of the greatest and most interesting and fascinating characters in film history because she's so likable and optimistic and loves her job as a cop. You would figure with her being big and pregnant that Marge would take a vacation off but Marge continues to do her job like it's nothing. What I also love about the Marge character is that the film shows two sides of her in the film her personal life as a wife dealing with pregnancy and loving her husband and her professional life as a cop and her professional life comes into play with this film. When the violence and death happen all around under Marge's nose she cannot understand why all of this violence is happening. Marge's optimism view is an interesting contrast to the Horror,danger and violence happening in throughout the film. Marge is another classic creation from The Coen Brothers. The quotable screenplay by Joel and Ethan Coen(which won the Oscar for best original screenplay)is outstanding and perfect,with The Coens giving each of the films main characters funny and memorable dialog and using Minnesota language and dialect/accents and words like yeah(or 'Yah')and quotes such as ""you betcha"" over and over again. Another great screenplay by The Coens. The violence in Fargo is harsh,brutal shocking,disturbing and at times darkly funny and matches the films grim tone and will definitely surprise viewers. The ending of the film sad,disturbing and at the same time hopeful and optimistic especially hopeful for the character Marge. A wonderful ending. The whole cast in the film is brilliant. Francis McDormand earn a Best Actress Oscar for her excellent performance as Marge Gunderson,with McDormand bring optimism,humor and great depth to the role. A great performance. William H. Macy is wonderful as Jerry Lundegaard,a car sales man in debt. Steve Buscemi is fantastic as Carl,a fast talking criminal. Peter Stormare is great and intense as Gaear,Carl's partner that's a man of few words. Harve Presnall is amazing and funny as Wade Gustafson,Jean's Father. Kristin Ruddud(Jean Lundegaard),Larry Brandenburg(Stan Grossman),John Carroll Lynch(Norm Gunderson),Steve Reevis(Shep Proudfoot),Steve Park(Mike Yanagita)and Tony Denman(Scotty Lundegaard)give good performances as well. The Direction by The Coen Brothers is brilliant and masterful,with The Coens always moving the camera with close-ups,zooms,over head and shooting from the snow filled roads from a distance giving the film beautiful visual style. Great direction by The Coens. The score by Carter Burwell is amazing,powerful,epic and intense and matches the film's tone and every scene in the film. A mesmerizing score from Burwell. In final word,if you love The Coen Brothers,Crime Dramas,Black Comedies or films in general,I highly suggest you see Fargo,a brilliant and flawless Classic Masterpiece of cinema that you can watch again and again and deserves to be in any film lover's collection. Highly Recommend. 10/10.",10 "Honestly the least liked Tarantiono movie I've ever seen :-(. Was so excited to see this movie BECAUSE I've 100% loved his previous films. Was a very big let down, sadly. Loved all the characters playing the roles, but the group of us watching was confused 70% of the time. Hope your next film is awesome. Win some, loose some. I'll still watch anything you make 💜 Tarantino rocks no matter what!!! He's an amazing person and story teller",3 "The first time I got the chance to watch this film was on a cassette. I was very impressed by it and watched this film almost every day. But quite recently I decided to review this creation again and to this day I honestly adore it, but first things first. Acting. The main role in the film is played by the same unmistakable Tobey Maguire, who perfectly understands the character of Peter Parker and reveals the essence of his hero even more clearly. Tobey performed all the feelings and emotions flawlessly, this is a truly memorable character. The role of the main villain in the film was played by the talented and respectable actor Alfred Molina, he perfectly conveyed the image of an intelligent scientist, and then a psycho with a split personality. I also enjoyed such actors as Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Rosemary Harris, J. K. Simmons, Donna Murphy, Daniel Gillies, Ted Raimi and Bill Nun. The cinematography of the film is simply amazing, the number of special effects has become much larger compared to the first movie and they have become much brighter and on a larger-scale. The musical accompaniment written by Danny Elfmann was also excellent; all the compositions in the film turned out to be very pleasant and memorable. I was also pleased with the careful work done by the cameraman; all the emotional, intriguing, exciting moments were captured to the highest standard. As a result: we have an excellent sequel, even surpassing its predecessor in some ways, and which can offer excellent acting, high-quality and bright special effects, and a memorable musical accompaniment.",9 "It gets three stars because it is a Marvel film so of course it looks good. Other than that what a let down. Ponderous, pointless, and slow. The back story was just absurd and the characters dull and boring. I don't know if it was the sound track but the voices were muffled and difficult to understand at times. Many actors were wooden and it felt almost like an amateur cast albeit beautifully shot.",3 "With such an amazing cast I was expecting better things but sorry this is really not great at all and I'm surprised by the high rating... Incredibly weak storyline and things that do not make sense so it is hard to get into the film. Enjoyed the big, quirky mansion though and Chris Evans. Daniel Craig's character is pants!",4 "Some people may negatively view me for this but manipulating his fanbase to rate his series is not an ethical way of getting good ratings. The first episode was average not so good, not so bad. He is getting so much hype and high ratings only because of his fanbase. If an average youtuber had done this he wouldn't have gotten this much high ratings. It's an overhyped series rated highly by his fans just by watching the first episode. Atleast watch all the episodes and then decide if it's the best.",6 "The whole film was spoilt for me at the end, when it showed a journey in a 1970s railway carriage. Many heritage railways could have produced a 1930s carriage if asked. Instead the producer seemingly thought any old carriage would do. It also akes me wonder about the boats depicted and whether they were genuine 1930s models or not. I think big budget films such as this one have a duty to ensure the""props"" are as authentic as possible. I am aware that most people don't know the difference between a 1930s railway carriage and a 1970s carriage, but frankly speaking that's not the point. Authenticity matters.",3 """The trail"" comes across as a cheap copycat of successful American series, attempting to replicate their winning formulas without any originality or creative flair. From the very first episode, it becomes painfully evident that this series lacks its own identity and relies heavily on tired clichés and tropes borrowed from better shows. The plot is a rehash of familiar storylines seen in countless American dramas, making it utterly predictable and uninspiring. Instead of bringing a fresh perspective to the genre, ""American Wannabes"" follows the same tired narrative arcs, leaving viewers bored and unengaged.",1 "The cast, writing, cinematography, special effects, makeup, storyline are all amazing. As a member of the queer community I adore the way sexuality is represented as fluid. This show is a masterpiece. Art like nothing I've ever seen.",10 "I'm still found this movie as hilarious as the first one, especially since all the seven main cast still reprising their role to lend their voice in this sequel.. New cast like Gary Oldman, Michelle Yeoh, just made this movie more full of stars.. The story itself still logical, since we never know the past that Po had so exploring them in this sequel is a great idea, since they never end up with ideas when they talked about a sequel.. As I remember, there's more action than the first movie and I'm fine with that... The flow of the story walks rapidly and leave me surprised when this movie ended in less than 90 minutes.. Overall, it's still enjoyable and hilarious as the first movie..",8 "After Winter Soldier I was under the (apparently mistaken) belief that Marvel's Capt. America franchise was criticising neoliberal America. There was all that stuff about the ends not justifying the means and about how politicians use terror to convince the population they need to be oppressed for their own good. How wrong could I be! Now I see that it's actually the opposite. It pretends to be anti-establishment but really it's just about justifying a sense of self-entitlement. Like Donald Trump, Capt. America criticises the State for oppressing people whilst simultaneously adhering to exactly the sort of high-handed moral superiority that inevitably leads to that oppression.Btw, Scarlett is awesome,you can see this http://www.haberligunler.com/scarlett- johansson-2016-yilinda-en-cok-kazanan-oldu-7379-haber . He (I mean Capt. America) obviously skipped school on the day they taught the importance of checks-and-balances and why one of the central principles of US Democracy is that of the separation of powers.",9 "What makes the new spin on the time-loop, do-over story always a win? Maybe because its something we constantly think about: ""If I had that to do over, I'd do it differently."" From Groundhog Day to Edge of Tomorrow to Before I Fall, the device has been used to explore death, life, and what would matter most if we had to answer the question of what we do if we had to repeat the same hours over and over again. Enter Russian Doll, starring the great Natasha Lyonne (Nicky from Orange Is The New Black) and a cast of mostly newcomers who bring a Rom-Com rompy energy to the underground world of New York City where Nadia finds herself dying over and over and has to figure out why. The writing and acting are strong throughout, providing many laugh out loud moments of comedy, punctuated with striking descents into drama and backstory. The characters are engaging and likable. Lyonne's Nadia has to face her own selfishness and as such is a catalyst for change in others. The story has twists and turns and a strong ending. The world of Russian Doll is full of colorful, lovable people. It was fun to visit for the few hours it took to stroll. I recommend it highly!",8 "A movie which started out for me as a Tom Hanks winner gave me much much more. Denzel Washington was in his comfortable best dishing out the dialogues he has epitomized in Hollywood. This is about a struggle, of a promising young counsel(lawyer as few others call them) against people who hired him for his skills and later threw him out of the company. The basis of the protagonist getting fired gets the centerpiece of attention. There were no flashy dialogues on the part of Hanks nor was Washington's over the top dialogue delivery very prominent. The blend of two styles of acting was the best combination. What proceeds next is the struggle against prejudices in the society,and at its time, it was a valid point to cut across. Direction, screenplay all were just correct. In a normal motion picture, it was a strong message!",6 "I was NEVER a fan of comic books or movies about super heroes, they are just way to fantastical for my taste but i gotta admit I did like Avengers a lot. When i saw this movie was up i told my kids. Hey buddies you wanna see some super-hero super action movie with shoots and fire and explosions? Yeahh ! Well, you can see what my idea about this movie was... Super simplistic script with a lot of special FX and lot of action.. Wow how WRONG i was! The movie is FREAKING amazing !. The script, the acting and above all, the pace of the movie really was fantastic, they managed to include a political conflict mixed up with conspiracy in a way i really wasn't expecting in a movie about a super hero. Hell this movie is even better than Avengers for the script alone. When you get glue to the chair watching a movie, anticipating what is going to happen and getting nervous about the outcome you can see you're in front of something very good. The directing is top notch, the actors all do their part with ease and the script, well, freaking congrats to marvel for taking the movie that far.. I don't know ANYTHING about the marvel universe or any of this super heroes aside from enjoying a couple of episodes of Agents of SHIELD (The series) and Avengers, now i'm super enthusiastic about the coming movies of Phase 2 and i wasn't even interested before. Way to go marvel !, that's how GOOD this movie is!.",8 "I may prove to be wrong, but I suspect that the end of the second season marks the end of the ""Loki"" show on Disney Plus. I've written reviews of both seasons, which you can find against the final episodes, but I thought I'd put something here to sum it all up a bit. As the articles again circle about the death of Marvel, they produce another season of ""Loki"" that I'm not entirely sure we needed, but that I enjoyed a little more than the first run. With the Avengers accidentally giving him a route to freedom, by giving him the tesseract, fresh from his defeat in New York, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) leaps to another part of the world and looks to reestablish his glorious purpose. But soon he's arrested, not this time by SHIELD, but the Time Variance Authority. For his escape was not supposed to happen and has caused a branching reality. The TVA are here to end that branch, and to put Loki on trial. Before they can though, a TVA agent named Mobius (Owen Wilson) asks for permission to see if Loki can help him with is case, a dangerous variant who is taking out agents across the timeline. I mean, I suppose my primary criticism would be that I'd hoped that the relationship between Loki and Mobius would flow better than I thought it did. I'd hoped for better interplay between them, sparkier dialogue than we got. I'd also hoped that, in general, the show would be funnier than it actually was. Hiddleston is a good performer and has been funny with the character several times before, and though regularly charming, it never quite clicked. It got better when Hiddleston was paired with Sophie Di Martino, played Sylvie as their female variant. (Sidebar - nice to hear another regional English accent creeping through on a Marvel show, after Erin Kellyman in TFATWS). I liked the plot of the second season, and I enjoyed the way that they used Loki's timejumps within that, both in the first episode and in the conclusion. I liked the recreation of the 1893 World's Fair as well as the McDonalds from the 1980's. I liked the addition of Ke Huy Quan, even if perhaps his arrival relegated Sylvie to a smaller role in this run than perhaps she deserved. It has another couple of wonderful performances from Jonathan Majors in this run, which again proves unfortunate given how his future within the MCU has gone from being key, to being tenuous with the legal issues facing him. The show ends in quite an emotional place, with what feels like a goodbye to another stalwart character, though I guess time (and money) will see whether that proves to be the case.",8 "I think this is one of my top 5 movies ever (all countries, all times)!! When i decided to watch it, honestly, didn't expect how much i will love this movie! i couldn't go to toilet while watching, cuz i didn't want to pause it even for a sec, if you are depressed, just go watch Ludo guys! everything was LIT, the music? i mean Aabad barbaad is my new favorite song, it's my most listened to on spotify; Actors/acting? Pankaj was amazing, Abhishek made me cry and smile at the same time.. Feelings? this movie delivered a great sense of humour, reality and human nature, i cried, laughed, smiled... I don't know what else to say! great movie, and i hope i'll see more of this kind of movies in bollywood; and most importantly, i hope this movie gets the success it deserves!",10 "I love the games they played and the cast are all funny. I'm literally just laughing throughout the show. Jennie's chemistry with everyone is amazing considering that it was their first meeting (except for Jae Suk and Se Chan). Like she's just being her self in this show. As expected of Jennie, she really suits this kind of variety show. I love guessing with the cast on who's who. They did an amazing job at making this show and casting Yoo Jae Suk, Nara, Tae Hyun, Se Chan Jennie, and Jung Ha. I hope there will be Season 2 of Apartment 404 with the same cast! Apartment 404, Fighting! Jennie, fighting! I can't wait for the next episodes! It will be fun for sure!",10 "Ridley Scott has made some great films. Alien, Blade Runner, even Gladiator, and to some extent, Thelma and Louise. He has also made some duds, like Prometheus, Hannibal, G. I. Jane, and Alien: Covenant. Then some ""Meh"" films like Someone to Watch Over Me, Legend, American Gangster, and Black Rain. In other words, he has gone from amazing to awful in his career. The Martian is somewhere in between. The good things were the visuals, the concept, and the execution, which shouldn't be surprising to anyone since Scott made over 2000 video commercials before even doing his first feature film, so he had plenty of practice to create amazing believable visuals. Matt Damon also did a good job, although I am not a huge fan of him in real life, he can deliver good compelling performances. Now to the bad things and there are plenty of them. The cast. They got the look of actors that could be Instagram influencers to play NASA astronauts. Sorry, real astronauts don't look like this. They aren't photogenic models from magazines. They look like everyday people. Also, I have a huge issue with forcing a certain diverse cast, which doesn't reflect reality for the sake of meeting certain social or political agendas. There is a fine line between what feels phony and genuine. Alien had a diverse cast, and even though Scott cast Weaver because she was a woman, the cast felt like they could real people in that situation. Here, none of the cast, even Damon, felt like real people that would have been astronauts. Astronauts are usually, without exception, nerds, so they look like nerds, not the top most beautiful people from Hollywood Reporter. And we don't need comic relief from Kristen Wiig. There are actors that have the actor look and then there are some that look like the regular person you see work at Home Depot. Stop casting the former all the time. But Scott has been guilty of this for a while now. His last two alien movies have cast that look like top social media influencers. You could literally find every Hollywood stereotype in this film. The movie took place in 2035 so the commander, Jessica Chastain, who was born in 1977 in real life, before she would have been old to listen to disco, in the film she would have been born in the 90s, which means she would have grown up in the 2000s, an era way after disco, they wanted me to believe that she only brought disco music with her, despite the fact that iPods that came out in 2001 contained the ability to hold up to several hundred songs, and iPhones can hold 1000s of songs in 2021, somehow in 2035, she could only bring a few songs of disco. She had no other taste than disco. Why is this an issue? Because it's indicative of the small things they can't even get right or truthful that impact the overall movie. The writing was also not very good. For example, when they find out Damon is left on Mars alive, the conversation sounded like a 2005 ultra-hip convo with phrases like ""my bad."" There is just no chance in hell people from NASA would speak that way. It's irritating because the writer assumed the viewers are too dumb to notice such obvious blunders. Another issue is having Damon explain everything to us, i.e. The obstacles and the plot. SHOW, don't tell should be the rule. Viewers are much smarter than any writer will give them credit for so they over-explain everything or explains things that we could just see with our own eyes. Also, there was something off with the technology in the film. I don't think they are going to be using regular laptops in 2035 the way things are moving. The worst part of the film is it actually got worse over time and more implausible. And of course, they had to have the woke hip black guy who didn't even know who the director of NASA was while his quirky obligatory live demonstration of how he alone could save Damon. Cut to the crew's speech and their decision to go get Damon. We've seen this scene in a million films. Try something new, please. Tired of the carefully composed calm director of NASA so follows the orthodox protocols and is fought by the inside rebels. Then, of course, China came to the rescue so they could sell more tickets in China. This film should have stayed on Damon alone trying to overcome his dilemma, instead of the whole world coming to the rescue while singing kumbaya. So it's by no means a perfect nor awful film. It's a below okay film with dumb unnecessary flaws. Is it worth watching? Yes, but don't expect a Scott masterpiece like Alien and Blade Runner. It's more like ""American Gangster"" which was a movie with flaws that you watch once.",4 "In my opinion the first season is a solid 10/10. The story, the pacing, the mystery is top notch. Everytime an episode end you'll want to watch more. You're curious to see what will happen next. And it won't be surprised if you finish the whole season in one sitting. It was just that good. But in the second season the writing is worse. It started with a good scenee, new characters that will make you questions how will they play this. It makes good start but somehow they abandoned it and come again later on just to fullfil the main character character development. Such a waste of plot. The whole 2nd season is 6/10 for me. And come the third season. I've read some reviews that said this is the worst season. And after first episode I think we'll maybe it is. But I keep watching and they are getting better. Still not as good as the first season but definitely better than the second. When they say fourth season is coming I'm excited to see it. I hope they make it better.",8 "This movie started good, nice story, building on the first story. Then the humans appeared. The movie went bad, more bad up until extremely bad. I quit watching after 2 hours. Maybe the director wants to send a message to us that we have to get rid of our selfishness, I don't know. In the first movie there also was this educational moment: ""This is how it's done. When people are sitting on stuff that you want, you make them your enemy. Then you're justified in taking it"". In this part 2 it's the same, they will kill everything when it is in their benefit. The graphics were stunning, that's all very good but the story is very negative, it depressed me, so I quit watching. I don't want this extreme kind of drama movies any more. The world is already as bad as it can get.",3 "Still on the first episode, and I can guarantee that I will be binge watching this show. So far so good!",9 "That was unaware of this movies existence? I waited eagerly for the avengers sequel and i was never aware of the existence of this film until 2018. That being said its awful, and i missed out on nothing.",3 No story only useless action. This is not so good movie,1 "This movie is the polar opposite of band of brothers. Instead of action & tactics, you have awkward long scenes of nothing. Left me looking around the theater to see if anyone was loving it, and everyone looked highly bored. It's long scenes of nothing, where they're trying to invoke emotion I guess, but left me daydreaming because it was so boring. There were about 5 or 6 explosive scenes that were just a blip of the movie, like they had to add some action to qualify as a war movie. If you saw the commercial advertising this movie, and thought it was an action movie, you will be very let down ... as the commercial showed every action scene there was! Anytime there was some action, it stopped right away with no furtherance of that action, just move along. Weird, odd, not worth the $, and I saw the senior $5 matinee. If you love love love boring brit tv, you'll love this. Then it ends in the middle of a scene ... when credits started to roll, I looked around, and people were still kicked back, legs up, eating popcorn ...... we looked around like ""that's it?"". Horrible to call this a war movie, I mean, yes it took place in battle, on a battlefield, but the story rolls soooo slowwww. Wish I could get that 2hrs back.",4 "What I like best is that Soderbergh not need to show explicit sex or nudity for provoke the critics. In the other hand, I love the simple plot based in only four characters. I quite understand that Win Wenders would like to grant the film with all the awards of the Cannes Film Festival (finally only the Best Film and Best Actor).",8 "This movie would probably have been OK if they had spent more time on story, less on actionscenes and hired someone without ADD to edit it.",4 "Episodes 1, 2, and the ending were amazing, Owen Wilson's character was amazing, and Loki's acting was amazing. Unfortunately an extremely poorly written episode 3, ""Lamentis"" really brought the series down a tad in quality, seeing as there is only 6 episodes. Any future watchers of the show would do well to skip this boring episode altogether. They also missed a grand opportunity to explore Loki's history in the show. I mean what's the point of revealing he's a frost giant in the MCU if you're never going to bring that race up again after Thor 1? This show is also not very rewatchable. I rewatched a couple episodes afterwards simply for the cinematography, but there is not much reason to rewatch the entire season in one go. Based on my personal enjoyment, I give it a 7.7.",4 "Appalling film, slow, lacking script, storyline & totally unbelievable events.",1 "Well let me start off by saying that the show has potential to be a great. The story is intriguing and cheesy (in a good way) but the acting is pretty bad, especially from Selena Gomez. Her monotone character makes me not feel or root for her. Steve Martin and Martin Short both do a decent job but I have to note that Martin Short is carrying the show. Besides the acting, the show is filled with weird camera shots. Not sure if it's meant to make the viewer feel uncomfortable but I can assure you that I don't like it. For instance there was a scene where Steve Martin's character was talking and Selena Gomez was standing in the background looking very awkwardly. Now that the bad stuff is out of the way, let's talk about the good stuff. First let's talk about the story. It's a classic ""who's done it"" which you can never go bad with. If you add Selena Gomez's little secret to this, it provides the show the tools to make it great. In addition, I have to say that I love the wardrobe of the characters and how effortlessly they made a simple scenes look beautiful. In conclusion, the show may seam decent, but there is something that makes me want to click that watch the next episode button. Can't wait to watch the next episode and see in which direction they drive the show!",7 "I do think that Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams are great in this movie and have some really good chemistry but I just don't ""get"" Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady. He's a great actor but I think they should have picked someone else. The acting by Naomie Harris is just bad though. Every time her character was on screen it felt forced and uninspired. Venom steals the show here and I really like the humor he brings to the movie. Decent but could have been better.",6 "This is so sad. I had so much more hope for the TV adaptation of my favorite childhood game franchise. I got my first PS1 in 1999 after playing twisted metal with friends before then. It became our main game we played together. I can still remember the sounds, the mals, the cheat codes (which they did throw a small homage to). But it was a violent, edgy game, with brutal backstories with a touch of comedy. This is nothing like that. This is a comedy where they try hard to make each sentence funny and it's just forced and annoying. This should have gone like the games did: A vehicular combat tournament that gives winners whatever they desire, and destroys the cities and countries of the world in the process. This is more of a completely overdone category where it's just an post-apocalypse world with survivors living in a safe haven, in which the main character must complete missions to get in. This should never have been a complete comedy. It should have been brutal, violent, and offensive with a touch of dark comedy. I'm so sad that they made such a unique and beloved game series into this. Shame on the developers of this terrible rendition of Twisted Metal.",1 "I have watched the original Devdas, and it's different, bolder and more interesting.",9 "What if...? Groot was a sentient hotdog?! What if the Ravagers were hired by Ego to bring his son to him but by some unbelievably ridiculous reason they kidnapped T'Cheerio who isn't even remotely his son?! What if, Captain America is now a butch lady known as Captain England or, err, Captain Great Britain, or Jimmy Carter?! What if Captain Marvel was a man?! Oh, wait, he actually was in the original comics until Marvel gender-hijacked the character. What if all Marvel characters were...dun, dun, dun! Zombies! That's a very fresh angle, I have to say. What if Gamora was Luke Skywalker?! Wait, I think I'm mixing up recent crappy Disney properties, sorry. What if, after Avengers: Endgame, which ironically had the worst end result of any Marvel movie and they started churning out the most pathetic Marvel superhero movies ever?! That one actually did happen. And it's very apparent and lackluster to watch with each new movie and TV show release. Most especially the latter such as this worthless junk I believe. I stayed through all nine episodes and each one just disappointed me more and more. If there is a second season I am definitely going to pass it up.. Marvel lost its talent and started focusing only on ideological stories and the junk they've mostly been pumping out lately shows this fact I think perfectly. The only small hopes I have are for the next Doctor Strange film and the next Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Yet, I know, I just know they will find a way to ruin everything that was great about the previous films in these two properties. I hope I'm wrong, though, most especially for Guardians of the Galaxy 3, as I adored the first two films. And I thought the first Doctor Strange film was pretty darn rad and the plot for the new movie sounds quite interesting in my opinion. Something about the multi-verse, which to me, opens up all sorts of rad ideas and possibilities for the sequel I'm hoping. Still, on that I wouldn't be surprised if they turned Doctor Strange into a woman and in the new Guardians film they'll kill off Peter Quill, turn Groot into a pile of leaves and re-brand Gamora as, Star Goddess and she will be the new leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy. It feels all but inevitable that they will ruin both of these sequels with the way Disney and Marvel have been destroying classic characters, such as the upcoming destruction of Thor sequel where they turn Jane into Thor. Seriously?! Who would ever find that believable and interesting within the premise of this comic universe. I can bet you a million bucks that whatever comic book issue that this ridiculous plot came from, that it sold poorly no doubt. I really enjoyed Thor: Ragnarok. But this upcoming sequel will be just awful I have no doubt in my mind. Lately, with but maybe a few IPs, it looks to me like Disney/Marvel is done putting out good, classic and entertaining films. Again, I'd love to be wrong but I don't have much faith in these organizations that put their ideological needs before quality and a good time for the fans and audiences. But, as evidenced with pretty much everything since and including Avengers Endgame, this sadly doesn't seem to be the case anymore and the glorious days of entertaining Marvel properties seems to have come crashing down to a sad and disappointing end.",1 "It's like all the good Marvel stuff, with just that little extra zing. Fresh. Everything so far is just so good.",9 "I like to keep my reviews simple and spoiler free, and with films like Interstellar it truly is best to watch without an iota of a spoiler. Nolan has just performed another Inception (at least into my mind, and I hope into every other mind who spends well-earned time with the Nolan's), bringing advanced scientific theory into the mainstream via the Hollywood Blockbuster. Nolan is making smart movies, and not treating audiences like idiots, which is what every director and producer needs to start doing a bit more of. Hans Zimmer's score is truly wonderful. Matt shows great acting range. There are a lot of tearful moments where I just couldn't tear myself from the screen. The sound design had a refreshing change in style. Now If you'll excuse me, I need to go brush up on my Quantum Mechanics.",7 "In this movie called Ready Player One, users can be whatever they want in the virtual world Oasis. Society has gone to the virtual world after the collapse of the real world. Although the plot may sound intriguing, the movie is uninteresting. Despite having intriguing concepts, Ready Player One falls short of its promise to revolutionize the world. Despite being based on a science fiction book, the film is packed with allusions to pop culture from the 1980s. While its live-action portions are flashy, the CGI aspects that resemble video game graphics are incredibly realistic and thrilling. While it lasts, it's an exciting trip, but it falls short of its intended long-term impact. In other words, Ready Player One is an exhilarating sci-fi experience that satisfies its rabid fan group, but it's also a very letdown film that fails to leave a lasting impression on its viewers. The dystopian future depicted in Ready Player One's plot is one in which global overpopulation has made most people homeless and the earth has become excessively overpopulated. People are therefore living in trailers that are stacked on top of one another. A virtual reality called Oasis, which enables users to do and be whatever they want, is the only option to get away from this terrible future.",5 "Hahaha, just truly, truly awful. Don't waste 8 hours, growly Geralt is so bad, poor acting, cheap sets and costumes. Awful. Awful. Awful.",3 "But nothing special . Mcu have the finale and now it s downfall. Edit I will change my score it s pure garbage.",1 "Watched 3 episodes of nothing... it was so boring with nothing to offer as entertainment. Bad acting skills and terrible plots. No idea why it was even at 7.6 Falcon actor only has two faces, angry and smirky. When he is trying to be funny, it wasnt ... it was a pain to continue.",3 Excellent movie with big B. Super direction by great Nagraj Manjule sir. Awesome and full enjoyment with family. Ye jhund nahi team hai. Salute to Vijay borse sir.,10 "I believe that is the way Sam Raimi, must feel after witnessing the success of this movie in it's first few days. Since I was old enough to go to the movies by myself, I have never seen a film twice in the theater. I mean it's expensive $8 bucks for the film and then $10 more for soda and popcorn, but that all changed today. Some 20 years later I have found myself in a strange position, I have returned to the theater only a few days after watching the Midnight Screening to see this astonishing film again. I paid without feeling like I had wasted my money. I hope to return once more for a 3rd time. It is simply that good. Worth every penny. I don't know if Tobey Maguire or Kirsten Dunst turned in Oscar winning performances, but that's not why I went to see Spider-Man. The film was delivered in pure comic book form. Although you do not need to be a Spider-Man comic book fan to love this film it helps if you want to follow some of the inside jokes and why some dialog may sound familiar from old issue of Spider-Man. The film is graced by a great many things, fantastic special effects without over doing it, astounding performances from the entire cast, the right amount of comic relief to get you past the more somber moments, a super evil villain to set the pace and last but not least the beautiful and talented Kirsten Dunst who can keep your attention all by herself. It is not surprising that both men and women will love this film. Guys and kids will flock to see the greatest superhero ever swing through the best superhero movie ever, while women will surely enjoy the love story and moments that will bring a tear to ones eye. The only thing that was bad about this film is that it set the stakes to high and may be impossible to follow up this film with another squeal of equal or greater appreciation, I mean this truly is a hard act to follow. I have given a score of ten out of ten to movies that I can count on one hand from over 1400+ I have rated, but their is no doubt that this film gets that rating as well. In short this is the best film of 2004 and I doubt anything else will even come close.",9 "You may have heard about the growing trend of Korean art films, filled with intellectual wit and social commentary--this isn't one of them. You might consider it another one of those Hollywood-copy-cat films, which try to beat off Hollywood's imports with domestic productions (after all, it was top at the box office for six weeks in Korea, topping AI, Planet of the Apes, and Jurassic Park 3). But you could never mistake this for a Hollywood film, or ignore its distinct korean-ness. So what is it? Maybe teen-romantic-comedy-melodrama is the best description, but that doesn't really say much either. All in all, you just have to see it to really know. On the comedy side, there are some jokes I found really funny, and other moments were just too weird to laugh at... and the ending is truly moving. This is also one of those rare romances where you can really sympathize for the guy, he's probably more kind-hearted and caring than the girl, although I guess some guys will just find this too unrealistic--I don't. In fact, much of the film will strike you as unrealistic, and I doubt that the director was looking for realism so much as entertainment value and emotion. In all honesty, if you can't stand unrealistic situations in movies, you'd be better off watching a socialist realism documentary. Otherwise, you'll probably love this film which gives a rare and inquisitive look into contemporary Korean college culture which is both playful, celebratory, and delicate. Korea has had quite a few number of films like JSA, which have sparked a large number of purely entertaining and thought-provoking films that take a simple genre and expand it in all kinds of new ways. Yeopgijogin Kunyo might just be the start of a new genre of enjoyable and moving romance-comedy films that will challenge everything that Hollywood has produced.",10 "Any one who knows anything about horror movies knows it's about feeling scared for innocent and vulnerable characters. As far as I could tell, the characters of this movie were not innocent. Far from it. They knew what they were gettting into. It relies too much on music and graphic scenes to frighten, which is simply not enough for an adult audience of this day and age. The film was more to do with shock-gore than shock-horror. I can only imagine the people who highly rated this film must be young and have yet to see many of the classic horror films. The makers could do rewahtching some themselves.",1 This might be the least intelligent action movie I've ever seen. It's awful on a level that makes it seem like it's deliberate but somehow still isn't fun like your standard creature feature/syfy channel nonsense.,2 "Modern Family proves once again that you can put a thin coat of shiny paint on an old, boring car and sell it as a sports-car. The show isn't necessarily terrible per se, actually it's watchable and at times even somewhat fun. Still nothing near the level of awesomeness you'd expect from something that has raked up so many awards over the years. The premise was interesting, but let's be honest, what's so ""modern"" about those families? When you scratch the surface, it's still playing all the staples (clichés?) of the traditional family sit-com. Not one but TWO incompetent husbands: Phil is the typical well-meaning, but irremediably childish, middle-aged husband whose job stability and competence is a mystery. Jay is all that, with a sprinkling of Grumpy Old Man for good measure. Claire is yet another stereotypical stay-at-home mum, whose role is only to play the fussy and shrill counterpart to Phil and the kids. And speaking of shrill, oh boy... Gloria! Could she be more one-dimensional and annoying? Things don't go much better for the gay couple either. The idea of having a straight man (sorry for the pun...) in Mitchell was OK, too bad he borders on plain dull, still retaining some of the awfully outdated traits of the typical gay man. Traits that reach the grotesque with Cameron... A flaming drama queen who overreacts at everything. Oh and the kids are, again, from the usual set of characters: the vain daughter (Haley), the brainy 'ugly duckling' (Alex), the thick boy (Luke), the sassy little girl (Lily)... Where they try to go for something unusual, they dig even further... Manny has to be the most absurd persona ever seen on TV. A preteen who acts and talks like a middle-aged man from the 50s is just beyond quirky. It's downright stupid. So, despite the contemporary spin given to the family ties (extended family, homosexuality, adoption, age difference), the core of the story and of most plots is still way too close to a standard 80s (or older) production. Situations progressively went from vaguely credible to over-the-top and gimmicky as well, as if the whole thing wasn't questionable already. It still makes for decent casual TV, but definitely not worth all the awards and praises it's been getting. The smart choice was pandering to the critics and to the cool crowds with the addition of socially relevant topics to a decades-old format. The fact those topics are either mere props or treated with little subtlety hasn't prevented Modern Family from gaining largely undeserved accolades.",5 "Season 1 gets 9/10 Season 2 gets 7.5/10 Overall 8/10 Acting: all the acters were at their best Direction: anurag sir you are the one you rocks as always!! Dialogue: the most amazing part of series Season 1: too much content and too many aspects they wanted to cover and on 1 season they just gave the brief of the story and characters. That was beyond extra ordinance. The thrill and in all aspects season 1 was masterpiece. So we all were waiting for season 2. Season 2: episodes no 8 was only the episode which can match the level of season 1. So many mistakes have been done like what was the intention of guruji behind all this?. I felt like so many lacking points at the part of story or writers. Because they weren't enough clear about the story or logics. Or like they have written it in so hurry or faster. Overall: it is truly a masterpiece for Indian web series. It will definitely make history for us. After watching the way in which story ends i can surely say it was directed by anurag sir. Some of you written that end wasn't good but this is the style of anurag kashyap he doesn't clearly say the end you have to understand as you can see in his others films. And this is what happens, whenever any suspense gets released, everyone starts like this should not been done or they could have shown something different but man that's why it is called fantasy not based on true events. We can not doubt on anything until & unless logics concerned. Some of you written that it targets a particular religion. Means what man!! Come on grow up guys. Because if you can remember that attapi vattapi story that goes for all religions. the concept or the idea that was being taught was not wrong. We have to accept the facts. Conclusion: best Indian crime, thrill series ever. Too many aspects covered within the very short time. As usual anurag sir will always gives you something different and new. You will definitely be amazed while watching and surely you won't regret.",8 "We've got long pointless panning over nothing, check. I've got nostalgic songs pointlessly inserted to try to piggyback off the feelings for the song, check. I wanted to like this. The premise is amazing, hard sci-fi, that I'd be totally down for but it's pretty clear by the end of the 2nd episode it's probably going to go nowhere. I watched episode 3 and then came here to take a glance at what others felt about the rest of the series. From the reviews it's pretty clear in never gets better or does anything interesting with the premise. Rear griper's summary. Glad I didn't continue",4 "The start of the movie sets very high expectations, the rest of the first half is all about to make you ask yourself whether you can believe the imdb, rotten tomato, bookmyshow review ratings. The first half could have delved and dealt more with the genre of the movie than pushing you out of the genre expectations and breaking rhythm. 2nd half also keeps you tad relaxed amidst the hope of action. Takes you to the end a little slower. Planning to the strike day felt very simple and unappealing. The strike day climax scene feels really close to reality. However, Ibris khan gets special treatment with Bollywood style fight scene. The movie breaks the rhythm. One moment, you are at the edge of the seat, the next moment you have to relax, relax and think its a let down. However, the movie pulls you right back into the rhythm. I felt that the movie should stick to the genre in totality. The moment you slip away, the Audience disconnects and connecting back may not have the same intense effect.",7 "I was quite disappointed after watching part 1. But part 2 has totally changed the perspective. In this part, making of Vito Corleone is shown and how he made himself to challenge the strong of his time. Alongwith the history we see the rise of Michael making tough decisions about family while gathering powers. If you have not watched any of godfather movie, watch this part first then other parts will make more sense. Overall performance of Al Pacino was awesome.",10 "Ludicrous! Plot line is beyond belief e.g, navigating a river blindfolded. Netflix spent some money on this production.... it's a shame it went to this story. In my opinion a waste of talent, money and time",3 "Certainly Inception is by no means a terrible movie, but given its hype, Nolan's past record and the claims that this was an overtly cerebral blockbuster made this one that I was looking forward to quite considerably. The most disappointing aspect was that with its dream concept I was waiting for some genuinely interesting surreal imagery, what I got didn't look altogether unlike a stylised advertising campaign for the fashionista with added contorting architecture. Whose dreams actually look like that? Advertising executives possibly, or more than likely the new elite of Hollywood film directors. Still it's not all bad, I found the Hans Zimmers soundtrack to be great, adorning the film with a dense atmosphere. DiCaprio's performance as Cobb is excellent, his relationship the subconscious manifestation of his deceased wife, Mal ((Marion Cotillard) providing an exceptional metaphor for grief and the emotional core of the piece. Unfortunately this is stark contrast with the supporting cast whose bare bones back story and lack of depth make them no more than emotional zeitgeists,whose sole purpose seems at times to provide mouth pieces In which to explain the intricacies of subconscious espionage. And that would probably be my main qualm with Inception; the obvious self-love it has for the cleverness of its concept, this is an accusation that can be thrown at a few of Nolan's other films. Though the director himself has nodded to the likes of Jorge Luis Borges and the anime Paprika as inspiration, the main concept of the piece is still strong and quite original, unfortunately its necessity to explain said concept throughout the film becomes a little grating to say the least, surely while the concept is clever it doesn't go the such realms of ingenuity nor originality that it should exhibit such a flagrant self- love. And while some have been stumped as to the concept of a dream within a dream I have to confess more of outright ignorance to Ken Watanabe's at times impenetrable accent.",6 After kota factory I have lost of expectations but Aspirants was below average.,4 "No, it's not very complex or deep or anything like that. But I'll say this: I've watched several time travel shows like ""Travellers"" that keep making the same two mistakes: 1) Having future time travellers hanging out in present day without ever showing any future tech or what their time looks like, and 2) Taking themselves FAR too seriously. Future Man is actually hilarious, gross, unapologetic and silly. The serious moments which I tend to roll my eyes at are used sparingly. This is a very enjoyable show that knows it's dumb entertainment and not some melodrama with a lesson. It even shows us what the future is like, which is more than I can say about other tv series. Go watch it, especially if you're quarantined with nothing to do.",8 "Mare Of Easttown - 7 Episodes A kitchen sink small town middle-American cop show with the heroine being Mare, played by Kate Winslett, the jaded and potty mouthed junior police woman. It was slow, bordering on stop but we had some comprehensive characterisations. In episode 2, she was ridiculously rude to the county investigator (her superior) who was there to help and halve the workload, if that had been me she would have been suspended on the spot. They then started piling on how damaged and dysfunctional Mare is due to a succession of tragedies, but clearly if these remain unresolved they would impact upon her work and she would have no place in the police force. This really was quite absurd! My main problem up to this point was everyone was so vile and dysfunctional that I wanted them all dead, I just had no sympathy for anyone, and this didn't change as the series progressed. By episode 3 you could see this series imploding under the multiplicity of back stories, quite frankly who cared about this level of detail, it just gave me a headache. By episode 4 it had really turned into a ""soap"" as the show was no longer led by the murder investigation. It was both saggy and baggy with absolutely no narrative impetus! The denouement was quite idiotic as our ""brilliant"" policemen only came upon the killer by accident and then made a hash of the arrest, and then we had another three episodes, I nearly put my head in the oven! Ok in summation it was a dogs breakfast, it dragged on for 7 episodes and could have been done in 3, the acting was overall pedestrian with Kate Winslett using three faces, A to C clearly. Colin Sabel, played by Evan Peters was great(and what did Guy Pearce think he was doing acting in this turkey), it was just a colossal bore from start to finish, I am so grateful they won't make any more of this tripe. This is at best a weak 6 out of 10, a 5 had it not been for Evan Peters.",6 """Lost in Space"" navigates the cosmos with a family-centric sci-fi adventure that orbits around the complexities of survival and connection. The acting, anchored by Toby Stephens and Molly Parker, delivers heartfelt performances as the Robinson family, bringing a relatable depth to their interstellar struggles. The film editing propels the narrative with a seamless blend of high-stakes action and intimate character moments. The series' strength lies in its ability to balance the grandeur of space exploration with the personal drama of a fractured family finding their way home. However, the weakness may emerge in moments where the plot treads familiar sci-fi territory. The music, composed by Christopher Lennertz, soars alongside the Jupiter spacecraft, enhancing the emotional beats. With a 7/10 rating, ""Lost in Space"" charts a course through the cosmos that, while occasionally navigating familiar orbits, ultimately captivates with its familial bonds and the endless mysteries of the cosmic frontier.",7 "It was disgustingly tempting to give this movie a 1 just to lower it's overall rating. How this Nyquil-in-a-DVD got an 8 after 27,000 votes boggles my mind. If you made it through all 159 minutes of this uneventful non-thriller without falling asleep, pat yourself on the back and then go try out for Ninja Warrior because you truly are hardcore. I barely made it myself. I saw the credits roll with my single half-open eye, looked around and hated myself for being the only one out of three that didn't fall asleep. Save yourself 2 hours and 39 minutes. Trust me. If I had spent that much time constipated on a toilet bowl with no results it would have been more satisfying.",2 "Wow, look at all the 10 out of 10s really, for this? Frankly, I got tired of watching it and turned it off, which I rarely do. But what I did watch was all about fabricated oppression of race, gender, identity & sexuality presumably so that all those boxes are checked, nothing more. What you end up with here is a mash of nonsense and nothing of value - not even good sci-fi. How sad to watch characters promoting sexuality in pent up, obscene ways rather than with wholesome values & relations. Are we to believe that only the ""oppressed"" are righteous? This movie is disguised as a sci-fi but is simply promoting immoral response to life's challenges.",2 "The characters, plot and performances are all very good in this violent fast paced film. The setting was great and the movie really immerses the audience in the local environment. The problematic part is that the protagonist liteally kills hundreds of police officers. The cops are just trying to follow orders. Sure they are working for a corrupt police chief who is in turn working for an awful drug kingpin but they are just doing their job. So our ""hero"" is gunning down cop after cop in a John Wickesque fashion. It definitely takes something away from the enjoyment of the film.",7 "...they performed a bit where they equated white supremacists with republicans. Totally bogus to do that. We like the goofy and raunchy humor, but no need to pull a stunt like that. Why do the producers wish to continue spreading that lie? Stay away from that sort of misleading and erroneous crud. Keep your personal politics put forth from the media and continue with this divisive approach. Thanks for entirely ruining the show for us, offending scores of viewers in the process. Otherwise, the show contains some nice originality and acting performances, especially James Marsden and the judge. Oh, well... Looks like we need to go back to The Office, Seinfeld, or Friends.",5 "Part of what makes a Stephen Chow comedy special is his ability to deliver a combination of non-sequitur humor while reminding us the harsh-realities in life. There's the betrayal by his apprentice chef in GOD OF COOKERY, the hardship of an aspiring actor in KING OF COMEDY, and the lost-cause martial artists in SHAOLIN SOCCER. What is missing with KUNG-FU HUSTLE is exactly that ingredient that made his past films so successful, and what would turn Stephen Chow into a local hero both in China and Hong Kong. To be fair, Chow had all the ingredients ready on the table, but somehow they just weren't fully utilized as they should have been. What results is a very CG-heavy film that's a cross between MATRIX, VOLCANO HIGH (2001, a Korean film directed by Kim Tae-gyun), and KILL BILL. There is greatness to homages when they are done in the right way, and KUNG FU HUSTLE seems to be full of tributes... whether it is the Tarantino tribute with the Axe-gang scenes, King-Hu with the DRAGON'S INN set-design, VOLCANO HIGH's CG-texture and feel, or even scenes reminding us of Keanu Reeve's fight-sequence with over a hundred black-suited villains in Matrix Reloaded... the list goes on, and he even throws in a Stanley Kubrick shot from THE SHINING... at one point, it's almost as if we're asked to name the movies certain scenes or shots were inspired by. Innovations? Chow broke-away from the typical Director/Actor/screenwriter formula of having the lead (i.e. chow) take up all major scenes in the story (e.g. ask yourself if you've ever watched a Jacky Chan film where he's not in almost every scene). Instead he gives ample time to the support cast of long-time-no-see martial arts experts who were at the top of their game during the 70's and early 80's. The Villain (Leung Siu-Lung) in KUNG FU HUSTLE was one of the top 'B' film stars known for his Bruce Lee-type roles 20 years ago. We haven't seen him since then, and Chow gave him a big home-coming in this film... The same also applies to the Land Lady (Yuen Chao). She was one of the few stuntwomen in Hong Kong's film industry during the 70's. If you've watched THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN(yes, a bond film), you would remember her as the butt-kicking school girl who saved Roger Moore's behind. We all know of Sammo Hung & Jacky Chan, but few of us know that she was actually trained under the same martial arts teacher as these guys since childhood. Chow had the opportunity to follow his sentimental-lead early on in the film. In the scenes when we find out who the real kung-fu masters were at PIG-STY, and how they explain they've moved to the village to get away from all the fighting and reminisce over their faded past... those were some of the best scenes in KUNG FU HUSTLE, but sadly all the potential gave way to special effects soon after. What follows is a combination of 3D-cartoon with contrived humor. As a Chow fan, like most of the audience whom I shared the theatre with, we all went to be entertained - to laugh, to feel the melancholy... but quoting a middle-aged housewife as she leaves with her husband at the end of the movie, ""It's no Shaolin Soccer."" Was this film made this way to make a better export? The minimal dialogue after the 1st act, all CG-action... basically you could turn the volume off after 30 minutes and still get what's going on... I wonder if this is a marketing decision so the film will be more easily digested overseas.... Oh well, what began as the most feared competitor in HK theatres during the Xmas holidays (no other HK film wanted to be released at the same time), is at best a could-have-been-better Chow film. Hopefully his next films will once again have more weight on story and clever dialogue... that's the stuff dreams are made of, and we expect nothing less.",6 "This is another title that falls in the category of overrated TV series. I do believe they put a lot of effort into trying to follow the timeline that happened in real life and I do believe they managed to do so quite subtly. The first two episodes and the last one did deliver, but they should be treated as episodes from a documentary movie mixed with and artistic TV series. Unfortunately episodes three and four are a true letdown or ""meltdown"" to cite the characters and they seemed dragged out and forced. We should not take this TV series for a full artistic one, therefore we should not expect a lot of character development, but the main leads did really well from my point of view both Boris Shcherbina and Valery, yet we should not forget the fictional character played by Emily Watson. This TV series highlights that sometimes in order to survive you do need to have the luck on your side.",7 "I went to watch Alpha because I'm a dog lover. With two dogs as my own kids, I was looking forward to experience the bonding between the first human and our best friend. But I was disappointed. The movie itself had good cinematography except when it was showing the blizzard, which accounted more close to half of the time. The story itself could've been a little more logical. They could not have survived the kind of environment they found themselves in. Though I loved seeing the wolf turned into a trusted companion but the story telling and character development were both lacking thus the movie did not have as strong of an emotional attachment as I thought it would.",5 "Wow, I never saw that coming! I had seen a few previews of the movie and thought it would be OK. Also, since it has ""George-Michael"" in it from Arrested Development, I assumed it might be worth watching for that alone (the reason most people saw Licensed to Wed - for the Office cast members). When browsing the local movie choices at a dollar theater, it was one of the choices, so I looked at an online review source and noticed it had many good reviews. Now I was intrigued. Also, I noticed this was directed by the Coen Brothers. Maybe this movie is a sure thing? Upon seeing it, I was totally stunned. This may be one of the top 5 teen movies of all times! Sure, it still has a few tired premises, but does it so well that you don't notice so much. The best part is that this movie is SO funny. It packs more laughs per minute than anything I can think of. The only weird thing about this movie is that I have not heard more about it. Had this film been promoted a little more, it would surely be the Porkys of this decade, no question. Had this been an 80's movie, it would have been right up there with the best from Hughes! This is highly recommended, well, unless you are a stodgy old person.",10 "Hands down, an undisputed modern-day classic about Police Chief McDormand unwittingly on the trail of kidnappers for a seemingly unrelated triple-homicide. Macy is terrific as the wannabe-mastermind behind the kidnapping (his own wife, no less, in an attempt to squeeze ransom money out of his wealthy father-in-law Presnell) but quickly becomes in over his head when the scheme gets more and more dangerous for the odd-couple kidnappers Buscemi and Stormare. Lots of great minor characters on both McDormand and Macy's sides of the story. A refreshingly unconventional crime story driven less by the plot and more by the black-comedy, making the movie as equally intense as it is funny without getting too melodramatic. **** (out of four)",10 "I have no idea how police in this universe is able to convict anyone when this trio is constantly touching and sharing evidence. Other than that, I've enjoyed season one a lot (binged it) and was excited for season two but it's not as exciting. I don't know if they should have kept this show as a mini series or if it's because I'm not a fan of Amy Schumer. Also, Selena's relationship with Cara's character is awkward to me, there's no passion between them.",9 "Stephen Chow has finally come home. For sure, this is the movie he always wanted to make; a dazzling, in-your-gonads kick of a mind-blowing kung fu flick! I watched this about a month ago, and I'm still ranting about it to friends and family. Descriptions are pointless, words useless; if you like kung fu movies, hell, just movies! go see this! go now! Almost no aspect of the movie-making craft is left unmastered. An object lesson in how to push the boundaries of art and technology, and yet still make a funny-as-hell kung fu movie. total respect -mu",10 This is painful to watch. Couldn't get past the third episod. The writing is so bad that it makes Shark Tornado palatable.,1 "I play all The Witcher games,read a few books ... in my opinion, TV show is a big disappointment, for me it's not Witcer, especially the second serial...",4 "...I still don't understand how they are able to share the same dreams?. Honestly, I've never questioned the basic premise of Inception. Apparently they just need a sedative, some might be stronger to put them down to deeper levels, but ultimately, there's no explanation how they are able to share the same dream. Did I miss something? Is this a world populated by psychics. I thought maybe there were wires or transmitters built into those tubes they stick into their bodies with those suitcase devices. But nope, that's just the liquid to put them under. So how does the rules of the Inception universe work? Well, if you can ignore that huge logic issue, then it makes sense. I guess you could argue that it's all just a big dream, right from the very beginning, based on what happens at the end. But even in a dream, there should be some explanations. Or maybe that's the point. Anyway, the movie is a fun ride, if you ignore that gaping lack of explanation on how they share a dream.",7 "I'm generally hooked on historic movies, usually fascinated by the aspect alone that the events displayed really happened. Sadly however that is about the only grace the movie can offer. Absolutely bland & one-dimensional characters, the antagonist SS- Officer was a complete joke - especially if you're capable of the German language. (grammatically this didn't even resemble German at times + there wasn't a single authentic line in the entire movie.) In its entirety Dunkirk has nothing to offer, but a few 'heroics'. - Not once have I been sucked into this story. Not once have I felt an inkling of the immediate threat of the situation. All that aside, perhaps the worst thing about this movie are the overwhelmingly positive reviews of critics. I know war hero stories from WW2 are a sanctity few would mess with - but this movie stands as a shameful testament towards that bias. I was expecting more from Nolan, hopefully he will get back to his old self.",3 "Watch the movie for the dog Alpha, i love dogs, wolf etc so good job !",7 "Great fun. The two veterans Short and Martin do their thing. One over the top, Short, the other more dull than he have to. But Selena Gomez make this series really good with her deadpan acting and smartess. She can handle the most wooden lines with panache and get the Rendos on their toes to keep up with her.",8 "I really like the effects and the way things are played out. What i dont like is the lack of eyebrows the Lion cub has, she looks so damn irritating to me especially with those lenses. Please fix her look...",8 "Series starts slow for the first two episodes. Then in the middle it got some pace and mystery was unfolding. But was it really ? And then in the end episodes - it turns out just freaking amazing. Loved it. Never expected this much but yeah it turend out so good. After knives out this is something i was looking for.",8 "Nothing here for those looking for an intelligent thriller. The action sequences have all of the feel of computer game graphics - no realsim and although you look at it and think it is well done it is devoid of the things that give a movie a human hook. The script is obvious and has such banalities like if you open your parachute too late the last thing that will go through your mind is your knees. They couldn't even say Ass! Chinese money so we have to have chinese characters. Are there any actors in China who can - act? I stopped watching and found something more interesting.",5 "I certainly don't hate the show, but I barely like it. Pros: Production design Cinematography Costumes Music Mehs Cons I disagree with the bad reviews about acting. I think the actors are fine given the script they've been dealt with. I'm sure the actors could do a great job with a great script. Characterization comes down to the story at the core. Ultimately, what I want to watch is an entertaining (and sometimes poignant) story. I'm up to episode 4 of HotD and after watching this installment I realized I've just been watching a soap opera with a bit of shock value. The first 3 episodes I was mildly enjoying, and I went into episode 4 expecting it the eventual opening of the main story, after this 3 episode build up. But episode 4 just said to me, ""nope, there is not much story here, it's just a bit of family drama in a castle."" There is so little intrigue, mystery, fantasy, build up, tension, and the whole cast is so limited that I feel stuck in this castle and I want to get out. At least in the previous 3 episodes there was a bit of escape on the dragons and the battle with the crab dudes from the triarchy. I just rewatched the first 16 mins of Game of Thrones episode 1 out of curiosity to compare openings with HotD. Wow. What a difference. Go watch it and you'll see how to start an epic fantasy. HotD does not give the same sense that we're going on an adventure or that we're going to stand against a greater evil or that we're going to solve a mystery or that we're going to meet a host of exciting characters... But... I'll keep watching because I have faith in George Martin's storytelling. If the writers are following his story, perhaps it'll pick up soon.",7 "Acting was superb, writing is the base of it.... Monologue at many points are to the point. Loved it. Must watch.",10 "Over-long and without a plot of any substance, this is another movie about Hollywood, like La La Land, that Hollywood loves to love, but rarely delivers on the promise for the rest is us. Despite good performances by Robbie, DiCaprio and Pitt it drifts along, and on and on. Maybe I missed something....",3 "I enjoyed series one in spite of the excessive zaniness it got better as it went along. This. This is a travesty. How can a show become so totally lame , almost embarrassingly so. I can't get past 4 episodes Very bad on every level.",4 "Well the Witcher is back along with Ciri, Yennifer, Triss and the rest. Its post battle and everyone is licking their wounds. Geralt meets an old friend and a new threat is on the horizon. The new series begins in a brilliant but dark setting and sets the the tone. Its fantasy done well, maybe not as jarring or real as GoT but it does stay loyal to ideology of the books. Fans of the games will also enjoy this episode. A great start to the series.",9 "I love this show. Martin, Short, and Gomez are an unlikely pair but share one thing in common; their love for true crime podcasts. They get together over a real murder in their building and try to solve the case. It's not completely different but the execution definitely is! I was hooked and rooting for them. I am really looking forward to seeing what's next.",10 TVF always encounters real problems of any field or mentality. I admire and appreciate it very much. Every hard working student or professional or any hard working person must watch this series. Because it has something which will be directly related to us. TVF has once again depicted a very common behaviour faced by most of us. Very short and to the point series. Acting was amazing of all actors specially sandeep bhaiya 😍 was too good.,8 "Do you love jokes that just boarder on being family friendly? What about really bad, weightless CGI? Can you just not get enough of the same type of film with the same story? Are you just waiting for that next, copy and paste comic book movie that doesn't have an end because every film is just the set up for the next one? Are you looking forward to keeping an eye out for the big cameo? Then you are absolutely in for a treat. This will not disappoint. If you like to think and not be pandered to or patronised then you might wanna miss this one.",3 """My Name is Khan and i am not a terrorist"",beautifully said. This movie contains a message for everyone ""In God's path there is no place for hatred"".Karan Johar has made a smart movie which has covered every major event in recent American and Indian history.No Hollywood film has ever done it before and don't think it will any time soon. Shahrukh khan's acting is immaculate ,songs are great.Kajol and Zarina Wahab are fabulous.Tanay,Jimmy and Praveen Dabas have acted well.The Protagonist vaguely reminds of the Forrest Gump .Quiet Surprisingly some people are against this movie in some parts of India.If you are living overseas or in India this movie will make you think .Most of us have seen racism in our lives but we don't do anything to change it.Makers of movie have an agenda which is not money but a message for PEACE. My Name is Khan should be India's official nomination for next academy awards.A family movie, 100% value for money.Please DO NOT download it watch it on celluloid.",10 Honestly I don't think I'll ever be a fan of this Spider-Man Tom Holland is just too awkward to watch and it felt like this film was made for kids. Jake Gyllenhaal as mysterio was probably the best part about this film you can always pretty much guarantee he will give a solid performance.,4 "UPDATE: After 6 episodes, the major story developments make this show the best new series streaming right now. The storytelling is creative, imaginative and utterly enjoyable. I completely disagree with the negative reviews that say those that gave this show a high rating just have faith that Marvel Studios will eventually give us a big payoff near the end. I'm actually not a huge MCU fan, but I have enjoyed this show from the very start. I do think that those who gave this show a 1 or 2 review just don't get it. This unique show is brilliantly crafted, clever and fun. I can't wait until Friday when Disney releases the next installment. I'm amazed by the number of 1 and 2-star ratings. Such low ratings should be reserved for shows that are utterly unwatchable...which this show is not. Quite the opposite. I found it to be a high-quality show that was well-scripted, well acted, very watchable and in keeping with Marvel's brand of entertainment. The first two installments tell us very little about what it really going on. And, that's the point. They each take a common sitcom plot line (entertaining the boss and his wife for dinner, for example), and weave in hints that not everything is what it seems. Presented with lead protagonists who are enchanting and exude warmth, I want to know why they are there, stuck in a 50's or 60's sitcom, and I can't wait to find out.",9 Dev is Not like movie it's Truth of Society and tight Slap for our Society Kashyap way to Storytelling pull up and Strong Cast performance Close to Raw Cinema butral and Bold Despite of Strong start movie didn't finish well that's only I Can get for movie Overall must watch for Everyone.,7 "The most critically acclaimed movie in the DCEU so far, seriously? In fact, this movie is the most unimaginative and the weakest entry in the franchise so far. There are two good things about the movie really, and those are the leads. First, Gal Gadot is drop-dead gorgeous, this cannot be denied. He acting can be sub-par at times, but overall she plays her part well. Second, Chris Pine is still a charismatic dude who, also being a primary protagonist, delivers his performance well enough and has some of the better comedic moments. But the problem is, that's about it! The action in the movie goes from mediocre to outright messy, with overabundance of CGI and shaky editing. The CGI in general often looks visibly cheap. The sidekick characters are cliché (the only thing that Scotsman lacked was a bagpipe) or cringy (the plump woman, but thank God that's not Melissa McCarthy). The villain is just pathetic, with the cringiest lines imaginable, stereotypical lines like ""Join me or die"" and tedious lecturing on the morality of man. Compared to somebody like Zod from Man of Steel it's just unacceptable. The ""humor"" here is often out of place with the overall serious war tone of the movie, and goes from the passable ""Diana says some ridiculous stuff about Greek Gods while Steve looks skeptical"" to the unbearably ludicrous ""Oh look they talk about sex in a very uncomfortable way"". The plot is just bland and overused, as are most of the dialogues, especially in Themyscira (""You must not go, Diana. Okay, go Diana."") Oh, and our wannabe- pacifist-serial-killer heroine defeats the big baddie using ""the power of love"", amazing. So yeah, there is almost nothing to love in this movie, the fact that the critics praised it just shows how hypocritical they are, the main reason for this is the fact that it's female-directed and female-led, which are not important factors when rating a movie in my book. My last hope in the DCEU is the Justice League and I sincerely hope that Weadon will not screw up Snyder's vision in it.",4 "Classic one!! The movie tries to touch many root causes of social issues. Nagraj sir has directed and the outcome is raw and rich. Social inclusion can bring massive changes to the lives of deprived ones. Bhim Jayanti has made its way and it is a bold move in Bollywood. The hint of ideals of Buddha can be seen in the scene where the boy throws away the cutter into the dustbin....""You follow just one Sheel and you are already on the path towards success."" Mr. Amitabh Bachchan has done a great job too....it must have been challenging to blend in with the cast. After so many years I have watched such a well directed movie!!",10 "I tried to like it, but i couldnt !!! The whole scenes are not coherent! The characters are not well played and the plot is boring",2 "I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film in the theater with a group of my friends- it is fun, funny, loud, intense and action packed, just what a film needs to generally be enjoyed on a surface level. The film's special effects and CGI were also exceptional, and the cast was perfect. However, what seems like what would be an incredible film thus far fell very flat in plot. Besides providing background information for many of the characters, there was very little plot structure to this film. The hunt for Credence the obscurist continues, and the small romantic elements between characters underlie and influence some decisions made in the film, but besides that, there is little to be said about the story line. This film also indulged in pet peeve of mine in film, specifically the Harry Potter universe, that being the fact that almost every character is a long lost brother, cousin, friend or unbreakable-oath member to another character in the story. Is everyone related in some way? Why are no characters just strangers to each other? By using these ""I'm actually your (fill in the blank with a relative title),"" multiple times, the realism of the story suffered quite a lot. This film is a good go-to-the-theater-with-your-friends movie, but if you're actually after a compelling and well explained plot, you will most likely be disappointed.",7 "Bhaag Milkha BhaagU12 Jul, 20133 hrs 8 minsHindi Drama Sport Biography Listen to this Album 6/10 Rate Movie by me 7 Filmfare Awards, 1 National Award, 15 IIFA Awards INFOCAST & CREWMOVIE REVIEWAWARDSUSERS' REVIEWSNEWS SYNOPSIS Mehra infuses realism into drama, and explores characters so deeply and sensitively through tragedy and triumph, that it sparks an emotional deluge. CAST & CREW Rakeysh Omprakash MehraDirector Farhan AkhtarActor Rebecca BreedsActor Yograj SinghActor Pavan MalhotraActor Prakash RajActor Divya DuttaActor Sonam KapoorActor Japtej SinghActor Art MalikActor Sanjay GurbaxaniActor Story: A film inspired by the legendary Indian athlete, Milkha Singh's life and journey. Review: He doesn't sing for his supper. He runs. Every sinew tugging and rippling to be fed. For that one glass of milk(ha!). He had a choice to run away, or to run. He did the right thing, he ran. Oh yes, the eternal metaphor 'the race of life'. We're all runners. With reason enough? A finish line to shred? Milkha Singh did. He ran his first race for ek glass doodh. And he never stopped. Untiringly. He ran because it was his religion. 'BMB' traces his scarred childhood, brutalized by India's Partition; followed by penury and petty crimes. He finds purpose in life when romance blooms with Beero (Sonam). Joining the Indian Army, where his mentor (Malhotra) inspires him to take the big 'leap'. Thereon, Milkha just runs. Barefooted, bruised, and with the weight of a suffering soul. He goes on to break records, but faces heartbreaking defeat at the Rome Olympics(1960). He takes it in his stride, overcomes his catastrophic past and ultimately emerges a winner. Mehra is brilliant at his craft; he infuses realism into drama, and explores characters so deeply and sensitively through tragedy and triumph, that it sparks an emotional deluge. The movie transitions from flashback sepia tones to moods of present, without losing the grip of emotions, ever. Cinematography is ace (Binod Pradhan); the music (Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy) heightens the drama. Prasoon's writing is powerful, lyrics are pure poetry and emotions robustly sweep the scenes with few dialogues. While there's a lot to marvel at, a hint of the director's over-indulgence in the art, results in a long 'runtime' and prolonged scenes that distract. Farhan is fantastic! He peeps through Milkha's core to essay this role. With an awe-inspiring body, grit and guts, he puts blood and sweat into Milkha. He races like an athlete, breaks into bhangra like a proud sardar and shows prowess of a Punjab-da-sher. In a brief role, Sonam prettily breezes through. Pavan and Divya (Singh's sister) are outstanding. Overall, 'BMB' pulsates with the storyteller's sheer passion all the way to the finish line.",6 "But I was drawn in by its strong ratings, and I am pleased I did. This review covers S1, 2 and 3 which I watched over about a week. For me, S3 was the strongest, and it was really down to the humour. I was surprised, flicking through some of the other user reviews, that only one other I read mentioned the humour. I really loved the lively attacks on the prejudices of class, race, gender and much more. Most of the cast coped brilliantly with the demands made on them. S3 really zinged along with great energy and it was a delightful romp. Just at the end I felt a bit of anticlimax but I guess it was inevitable given that the story was less powerful than the humour. S4 is about to hit the streams, so I hope it doesn't disappoint.",8 "Six years have passed since we first saw Forrest Gump. At first is was highly praised and has since slowly died off. I believe that ten years from now, Forrest Gump will be regarded as an American classic. The last time I watched ""Gump"" was about three years ago and it was wearing thin. Having watched it so many times, it began to loose its punch. You realize that it is VERY fictional and that it is not nearly as good as 1994's Best-Picture runner-up Pulp Fiction. But, having watched it recently I was able to enjoy it again, more than I did the first time, because of the great performances by all, and the unforgettable moments. Forrest Gump is destined to become a classic due to its great, heart-warming story, and classic lines that will be repeated like those from Casablanca, Gone With The Wind, and other favorites. The main reason though, is that Forrest Gump is a lesson in 1900's American history. The sixties were a crazy-ass time, and I'm glad I didn't have to live in them(I'm only 20). Politicians being assassinated, Vietnam, drugs, and the Cold War all depicted in their actual footage. Actual broadcasts of Nixon's resignation, the Apollo landing, and newscasts of politicians such as Ford, Reagan, and Gov. Gorge Wallace. ""Gump"" is a great movie. One that WILL be appreciated even more through time.",7 "I think a film has value if it entertains and/or educates. Barbie entertains with its bright and colorful sets,and its very humorous tongue-in-cheek jibes at patriachy and consumerism. It educates by colorfully and humorously depicting the dangers and folly of stereotyping and consumerist attitudes. To me, the above gives the film only mediocre value to the viewer because they are not accompanied by a strong plot. In other words, society is filled with many and various alternative films with exciting plots and the educational messaging, so why would a viewer bother with this plot-deficient film? Yes, Iknow the film's box office is huge (viewers did bother to see it), which prompts me to think that its reported $150m marketing spend was very effective. Thats what I call consumerism++. Special mention to Ryan Gosling - he's a natural in this film; he played the part very well.",4 "With a terrible source material, Spielberg decided to create his Avatar movie. The story is as bad. There are as many clichés. This movie won't ever surprise you (that might be a staple of the director?). Spielberg knows what to do to create a couple of heroes and villains, and he does just that. The movie is, in reality, an avalanche of references of pop culture with the shape of an action flick and some sparkles of Spielberg sentimentalism (gag inducing, but with professionally placed scenes by Spielberg). The only reason to especially like this movie is the references. I don't care about them (and probably I didn't catch half of them), so.",3 "If you're looking for the gory, violent film that the title and trailer allude to, you'll be gravely disappointed. I'll spare you the lengthy and unnecessary synopsis review other users/film scholars try to impose on those just wanting a recommendation as to whether one should rent this film or not. In a nutshell, don't do it, you're not missing out on anything by skipping this one. There is no deep story here, no lesson to be learned, no violence, nothing. You go in expecting a grittier and more violent version of The Godfather, mixed with a bit of American Gangster and Scarface. There was none of that. Expectations can ruin a movie before it even begins, which an avid movie goer should keep in mind, but this was just downright deception. The story was flatlined from beginning to end. Not every film is going to be great, or worthy of an award. Some films are just films, something to go see at your local cinema on a Wednesday afternoon, or rent during a quiet evening. This film though, an insult to my movie going experience.",3 "As I was watching this movie yesterday night in the theatre I started to feel ashamed of myself being an Indian. This shame was not the result of the hard reality shown in the movie, but it was because of the way the critics in India wrote this movie off on the very first day of its release. I certainly did not expect this from Taran Adarsh and Co. For once they should look beyond the box office collections as the criteria for a good movie. One the other hand I also realise that people living in a country like India see at this reality in their every day life and wouldn't want to spend three hour refreshing their wounds. But here is the question! Can you go away from this reality by watching a romantic flick like Veer-Zaara (no criticism of the movie, it was brilliant), when you know that you have to go back to face the same situations. I think when Mohan tells villagers on dashera night that they have come to love the situations and that's why they don't want to do anything about it holds right for the Indian moviegoers and critics. Well better get at the movie, what can I say. Everything was just perfect. I feel comparing it with Lagaan is unjust as both belongs to different movie genre. While, Lagaan was about the triumph of the human spirit, Swades is all about us, WE, THE PEOPLE. Personally I feel Swades stands a better chance of winning an Oscar than Lagaan. Indian Government should send this movie as the official entry from India this year. Ashutosh has done wonders directing and writing this movie, so have done every individual involved in making of this movie. Only one criticism of this movie though, why Mohan had to go back to India in the end. I would have preferred the ending if he had stayed at America. I also felt that Ashutosh should have showed a bit of positive attitude towards the people who are working abroad and helping Indian government in building huge foreign currency reserves. After all it was because of Mohan's hard-earned money in America that helped him in building the electricity generator in the village. Leaving above criticism the movie is a gem coming out of Bollywood. Acting is first rate, it was so refreshing to see Shahrukh playing such a role and that's right to say that with this movie a Star became an Actor. Music by AR Rahman is brilliant, although some of the songs did hampered the pace of the movie. Background score was the life of the movie in my opinion. In the end all the commemoration to Ashutosh who dared to make such a movie. I think he truly deserves the ovation public gave when movie finished yesterday at the theatre. A must see. 9/10",9 "I love the John Wick movies but this one is not as good as the other 2, the moves are very amateurish by John and Sophia they don't flow with the film also the acting of a few actors isn't as good as I would of expected. Very disappointed.",4 "I was not ready to watch this movie but when i did, I was not stopping. Its mind blowing, too energetic and here is my 10 out of 10 to Zaira Wasim for her mind blowing performance. SUPERB.... SUPERB.... SUPERB.",10 I liked the movie very much..............................,7 "Thanks to the screenplay by Eric Heisserer, that made the movie watchable. Stretching over a span of two hours in some parts the movie feels like its never getting over. This is due to the fact that there's no revelation about the root cause of the disaster also the story really slows down at some points during the time span. Sandra Bullock is one of the attractions of the movie when it comes to sheer performances, and she does really holds her ground. Other than few genuine thrills there's nothing new Birdbox has to offer. Especially when it comes after a Movie like A Quiet Place which is Outstanding!",6 "I am truly tempted to give One punch man a 10 but in my opinion there is no perfection. There is near perfection and one punch man is that. The first episode that i saw, i laughed so hard that i almost fell off my chair. As it progresses to the next episodes they try to combine the comedic and the seriousness of the story together, and they manage to do that. I feel like that the writers are truly doing this with a feeling of passion and next to it they enjoy the absurd fighting sequences. Opinion on the last two episodes of season 1: My thoughts: The amount of awesomeness put in this two episodes is beyond imagination. It's just incredible how they build up the climax to the end and to show the endless powers Saitama has. Although it's a parody it doesn't stop me as a viewer to enjoy the anime and accept it as part of something great. When i say something great, i mean putting it next dragon ball, and other incredible animes. It's obvious to the rational thinker that a lot of elements like the characters design (boros etc) are similar to Dragon ball, and that it's influenced by them. BUT what makes it so different one might ask himself: Just by observing the amount of details put in to the fighting sequences will tell you that 'one punch man' is a serious anime (in some ways). Dragon ball is nostalgic and has a great history and character development behind its series and one punch man will have to gain more years in order to obtain the status DB has. What i'm trying to say is that the detail put in to the fighting scenes in one punch man are far beyond what other anime have achieved or tried to... It's a masterpiece in way... And that's what gave this anime a 9 out of 10. He destroys all of his enemies with one punch and mocks them like they were nothing. But it still does not get boring and that's the reason why this anime is a great success. Make the details look sublime and the fighting sequences beyond comprehention, mix it with a flavor of humor/comedy and you've got in my eyes the perfect anime (action fans). Just take a good look at the episode where Saitama fights Genos and you'll get the perfect picture on why this anime is amazing (there are youtube videos with that scene). It even got me to search some more info about this anime on the internet. There are youtube videos and articles about the origin of one punch man. It's interesting to take a look. I hope this show keeps up the quality as it is and i can't wait for more! ----> after watching the last two episodes i can only imagine where it is headed. This anime has proved (after this season) that it will not fail to entertain it's anime loving fans!",9 "I was lucky enough to catch an advanced screening of Superbad and I can tell you that this is one hilarious movie well worth seeing in the movie theaters. The screenplay and the casting is fantastic. Seth Rogen's father Mark Rogen has a speaking role in the movie and he carries it off with impressive acting talent. Seth Rogen displays the widest range to date of his masterful acting ability. Bill Hader performs his usual magic with his Jim Carey like expressions. Martin Starr from ""Knocked Up"" makes a couple of cameo appearances and comes through convincingly. Lauren Miller plays the role of Scarlett Brighton skillfully. After you see this gem you will be lovin' McLovin too. Alana Zemel",9 "Disappointing movie from start to finish. I'm not sure where to begin because I'm not sure what I just watched. It's a mess from start to finish. Why on earth (616 or others) are we suddenly digging into super dark territory for a universe of films centered on superheroes saving the world from some bad guys. Marvel was pretty much stuff the whole family could watch now it's just pathetic dark elements that just bring down the whole name of Marvel movies. Super shameful for Marvel and Disney to go this far into that stuff knowing young kids look up to these movies. I could go on and on, but the movie already did that.",4 "Marvel has done a great job! Amidst so many TV Series offered by Marvel there are very few quality shows. After seeing so many failures of Marvel, thankfully Loki is one of fantastic shows. In fact, if I were to list top 3 Marvel Shows I'd pick Loki, What If and WandaVision. Tom Hiddleston has done a fantastic job there! While Loki was a negative and some sort of hated character in the earlier Marvel films, I find that this series has done some justice to his character. The new characters in season 2 have been great! However, I felt that the show was pretty fast-paced in the end. Season 2 could have been broken down to 8 episodes which might have given decent screen time for all the characters. Nevertheless, the finale was epic. Loved it!",9 """Murder Mystery"" in a way is a parody mix of Agatha Christie and Inspector Clouseau. Most of the film's humor comes from just how out-of-place Aniston and Sandler are in the world of high society. That being said, J. Aniston pretty much owns this movie. Nevertheless, it look as her like rest of the actors didn't really enjoying the experience. At the end, ""Murder Mystery"" is a likable, lightweight comedy, at times cheap and dumb, occasionally amusing and rather innocent as an airplane 'watch and forget' movie. Rating: 6, just because of Jennifer Aniston.",6 "Swades is like a fresh breath in today's rotting world of Hindi Movie Business where immortal Classics like Kaagaz ke Phool, Khamoshi, Anand were once made. I have not seen any movie by Shahrukh Khan after 96-97 (apart from Main Hoon Naa, which is another Decent Movie), but I must say only he could have played the role of Mohan in this movie. Just like the next-door guy, he wins everyone's hearts. Gayatri Joshi is simply breathtaking and enthralling and someone who looked simple yet beautiful in the movie (Waheeda Rahman is another one). Director Ashutosh, who started out with SRK in late 80s in the TV show Circus and also starred with him in Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, has once again proved that one does not need skin show and gore in a movie to excel. Some of the actors, he has repeated from Lagaan, namely the Postmaster, who is outstanding in his cameo. The guy from Gangaajal was great too. In the end, this movie will mean very much more to Indians settled outside of India, which may be one of the reasons, it didn't do that well like other commercial movies in India, besides winning laurels. A must see for everyone who liked decent movies. Music was simply beautiful. Too bad the BEST song ""Aahista Aahista"" was not even featured in the MOVIE. I think this is the only point missed by the director. There is not much room for Romance between SRK and Gayatri, however, all little moments are simply beautiful and do wonders. GO SEE IT if you haven't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!",10 It's been a great series but the longevity of it it's gonna come in the question it was cool and cute that they were out of lessons but now they're not cute and they're definitely not adolescent so where does it go it loses its vulnerability through the morality and fearless lives of them being kids. And I don't like Jonathan and Jonathan and Nancy being together doesn't work It never has. I think two that they need to bring the teachee Mr Clark into the fold the development of his character I think would be fantastic.,9 "I grew up reading Wonder Woman comics. This movie doesn't seem to represent much of ""that"" Wonder Woman. That part is disappointing. It's a good, action-adventure/fantasy flick. I didn't find it all that slow, as others have said, but the major deviations in the Wonder Woman of the comic books threw me off and kept me from enjoying the movie as much as I'd expected. If I'd never heard of Wonder Woman, I might have enjoyed it more.",3 It never gets old. I have watched it so many times but each time it gives same goosebumps to you.,9 Pathetic movie with worst screenplay. Wastage of time and data.,1 "Well, if you ask someone what is the most happening series nowadays, TVF Pitchers would be the answer!First came TV series which revolutionized the watching behavior of people and now it is web series. TVF Pitchers appeals to the present generation. You relate to the day to day life of the characters. It reminds you of someone you know- in your office, colony, college. There is no over doing, it is realistic and the characters- I must say have been superbly portrayed!! Naveen, Yogi, Jitu, Mandal.... They give inspirations at times!! A superb series. Well written and perfectly executed... Will be waiting eagerly for the next season!",10 "My vote: 7.5/10. This film is smashingly good with incredible good special effects. It isn't boring at all. It is a success. The only thing that I found boring is the middle of the film where we don't see spider- man for quite a long time. This is the only trouble but the rest was good! It was pleasant with a lot of BOUM, CRAC, SMASH, BAM that were very strong. The special effects are excellent!!! The casting, very good too! They play very well! It is the best of all the spider-man movies I've seen (the trilogy, I mean). Spider-man is really amazing with his super-power that I like very much. His power is so COOL! I like the way he moves from one building to another with his spider web fingers and the way he uses them for anything possible. This is a great pleasure to see in a super-hero film. The villain, I really like him and he is the best! I love his terrible, disgusting octopus arms and his nasty project!!! My favorite scene was the scene where spider-man fights the villain on the roof of a train. It was so cool and very smash, smash, smash if you know what I mean by there! The super-hero has good qualities and a good thinking about his life. I will add 1 Oscar for best action movements and 1 Oscar for best super-hero costume and another one for best special effects and best power!!! I really enjoyed it! Hope my review interested you because I really love films and writing about them! I am a great fan!",7 "This is not a bad movie, its a solid flick. They just lack a bunch of things. There are so many ways they could have turned this movie into an epic film instead of a good one and unfortunatley Morgan Freeman was a miscast.",5 "I definitely liked Captain America: Civil War: the story touches on some important issues, the action is top-notch, and it has a couple of really great character moments. It still doesn't qualify as the best Captain America movie, let alone MCU movie (that's still Winter Soldier), simply because I think it really would have done better with a couple of trims. One of its biggest problems was in my opinion the whole plot line regarding Zemo, which for the most part felt like an unnecessary red herring. I do concur that, in the end, it added a nice twist to the movie's main topic of the rift between the Avengers, and it did lead to the final (and worthy to be called ""epic"") showdown between the Cap and Iron Man, but for the most time, it simply distracted from the eponymous ""Civil War"". A stronger focus on the Avenger's internal conflict, its reasons, and its repercussions would have done the movie good. The second biggest problem is the over-full cast of heroes. Even if we ignore that someone who hasn't seen every other MCU movie before Civil War (I luckily have) will have a difficult time to comprehend who all these people are and what the heck they are doing in a Captain America movie, a bunch of the characters simply don't add anything meaningful to the movie, except maybe filling up the roster of ""Team Iron Man"" and ""Team Captain America"". Especially Ant-Man (despite his huge role in the team brawl at the airport – pun intended) and Spider-Man seemed pretty much unnecessary. I do understand the importance of Spidey's cameo in this movie to bring the character ""back home"" into the MCU, but his drawn-out introduction felt completely out of place and made the story grind to a halt for almost ten minutes. That said, I was impressed that they managed to give almost every character well developed and insightful moments and their time to shine. Black Panther was an interesting addition, and I'm looking forward to see what they will be doing with this character in the future. And maybe to point this out again: for the general audience, which didn't follow the MCU slavishly, large parts of this movie must be incomprehensible, due to the sheer number of different characters and allusions to events in the past MCU movies. Anyway, for MCU fans, Civil War is definitely a treat, and - due to its importance for the future of the MCU - an unmissable addition to the series.",8 "Mani Ratnam does it again ... outstanding!! With his vivid dramatization of the Indian business situation of the 1950s-1980s (pre-liberalization period), through the story of an ordinary entrepreneur, he surely aims at igniting the educated Indian minds towards entrepreneurship. Yes! The movie is not for everyone, but a focused audience !! The movie is not one of the eye-candy commercial movies .... but a typical Mani Ratnam product. But, more than anyone else, the one who turns the heat on is.... Abhishek Bachchan. ""Role-of-a-lifetime"", as they call it, could not have been better portrayed. And Abhishek Bachchan fits the role, body and soul. The conviction is evident in his dialog delivery at each and every stage of the story. Aishwarya Rai plays the role of the strong wife who would stand with her husband in all times. This is one of the times when she has proved more than her body. A strong role played with equal strength. The movie compactly binds the story of a successful entrepreneur and his simple love life. The soul of the movie lies in the final minutes, in a court hearing scene ... the 4 min 30 sec speech by Guru (Abhishek Bachchan). In his speech, Guru summarizes the anomalies of the pre-liberalization Indian business situation...how ""Licence Raj"", Market Imperfections, Corruption, Excise duties, Import-Export regulations troubled the businessmen and hindered the growth of the economy and nation as a whole. A feast for Indian intellectuals !!! Salutes to Mani Ratnam, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai !!",10 "I'm disappointed with screenplay, it's the worst aspect of this tv series... Henry Cavill is doing great. Jaskier is amazing but most of the characters are flat and were cast wrong. Fringilla Vigo wasn't black and so was Elithè. Netflix appropriation at it's best. The show is badly written and lacks the ready tongue characters have. The plot is scrambled and leaves you wandering where in a timeline are they. Dragon looks cheap. Otherwise it's okay. It's hard for me as a Pole to accept some of the casting choices but in general this tv series is okay.",1 I found the episodes far too short and only 6 in the season. That's stingy and doesn't give a better meaningful story. It's kinda over before it started. The last ep was meh... nothing major revealed to wait a year for 6 ep series. Yeah no thanks. Not inspiring enough And please remove the lengthy end credits - they're not worth 6 mins - every stupid Disney episode does this.,3 "Another fail from Marvel! It seems Marvel has declined from the moment Disney took control over MCU. The movie want to be a little bit darker but the same cringe humor formula still exist and it's atrocious! The acting from everyone is mediocre. They introduce us to High Evolutionary but he is weak. They give us Adam Warlock in early stages but as well, he seems awfully created! 80% of the movie is about a talking racoon and his so called: origins. Drax acting like a silly child. The special effects are awful. And again: even they tried to make this movie a little bit more darker, the ""jokes every 5 minutes"" are there and the jokes are cheesy and cringe! I have a bad feeling for DCEU under the lead of James Gunn.",2 It was a good spy movie but not a perfect one; the screenplay has the serous holes. Jenifer was very good and I enjoyed watching it.,9 "I got about halfway through the movie and had to go find something else to do. I was drawn to the movie by the list of actors...top notch. I have no issues with the acting...again, great cast! But the story was...uhh...not good. The soundtrack was great, kudos to Trent and Atticus! I think the scariest part of the movie was Michael Jackson wondering in the woods with those kids unsupervised. I will give three stars instead of 1 for the acting and soundtrack.",3 I am giving you no spoilers.... I Have seen many Hollywood war movies but this was something that was extraordinary and perfectly executed action sequences and gripping screenplay adds a characteristic flavour to it.... Though knowing the outcome it gives you a lot of suspence.... bgm is awesome.... all actors have acted well especially Vicky Kaushal. Go for it.... Critics are dumb .... Jai Hind.... A perfect tribute to the Indian army,10 "The Indian film industry's most loud and noisy version Bollywood has survived most of the last three decades without telling any story to its audience. The only creative aspect of Bollywood has been its lilting music which is created by those not so good looking talented singers and musicians who are left to watch beautiful( fare skinned) actresses and actors with chiseled body(Steroids) dance and lip sync over their hard work. So whenever a story does drop by in front of them they stumble and fail to narrate it in front of their audience. 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' is one those important true stories that needed to be told by someone other than Bollywood. With its very prejudice and narrow minded thinking it fails to liberate an inspirational personal life story beyond their myopic views. Milkha Singh, the Indian athlete who was one of the few bright spots during the early years of independent India was like his nation lived its childhood in bloody tragedy of partition. Born in a Sikh community in pre-partition Multan, Milkha survived the partition with his elder sister along with her abusive husband. Milkha goes on to survive the hard ships in the refugee camp in new born India by hook or crook. His persona comes off as lively and mischievous. In a very prolonged flashback we are shown his small town love affair and his tryst with the law. The director uses these sequences to insert the usual Bollywood machismo with girls shying from kisses & hugs along with tons of humorous sequences that are inconsequential to the storyline. All these flashbacks are narrated to the secretary of Prime Minister Nehru during his journey by train to Chandigarh to meet Milkha Singh personally at the behest of Mr. Nehru. He is meeting Milkha to convince him to go to Pakistan for the Indo-Pak friendship games to be held in Lahore. He is accompanied by Milkha's athletic Coach in the Army and his current Indian national team coach who are trying to narrate Milkha's reason for not visiting Pakistan. His refusal is due to his childhood traumas based in Multan i.e. now in Pakistan. He watched his father's head being chopped by Islamic fanatics after his father forced him to run away from the massacre. He does not feel any strain of friendship towards the neighboring state. While the narration is about his refusal to go to Pakistan, there is no reference to it for over two hours into the movie until the Secretary himself stops the coaches in between to make them aware of his and audiences dilemma that what has been narrated has very little to do with Mr. Milkha Singh's refusal to head to Pakistan. Throughout the narration we see Milkha join the Indian Army and dance with his colleagues in the dormitory, he grows up being a small time burglar and falls in love with the village beauty and sing and dream and then when he goes to Melbourne Olympics, he falls for a Blonde Australian and they sing and dance. By this time the murmurs and the desperation inside the movie theater is palpable as it is already over two hours. When the movie finally reaches its climax after over 180 minutes we witness a fleeting moment of a real historical sports movie with a race in Lahore that include Asian Champion Abdul Khaliq. The interjecting images of the race watched by Pakistani dictator Ayub Khan (who confers Milkha with the title 'Flying Sikh') and listened around India through Radio it is an easy win for Milkha but an important personal win. And the moment passes away as all the side characters begin to do Bhangra dance for the 100th times as they did for many other inconsequential sequences and occasions. But nothing less is expected from Bollywood makers who are diagnosed with narrative mood swings that could be compared to a bi-polar person. They never stay in the moment of a storyline and try to squeeze out every existing emotion one way or the other. Apart from the sharply written character of Milkha i.e. comparable to his sharply chiseled body none of the characters hold together for more than few minutes. They are either left praising Milkha or being jealous or falling head over heels to fall in love with him. Pakistani athletes are characterized as they way Indians feel they would behave with flaring nostrils and deep disdain for anything Indian (may be Abdul Khaliq did act arrogantly in front of Milkha). But it has to do with some deep rooted feeling for white blonde among the film makers, for the way they portrayed Milkha's two love stories. While his village love is shown in a very asexual manner, where when the couple goes away for privacy they make childish gestures of love towards each other alone, but with the Australian it is filled with sex and booze from first night. May be they do go far off from village to make out, but for Bollywood to show intimacy it is easy way round to hook up with a blonde white woman. Such views and forced dramatization of a very personal story discourages the narrative of the film to go along coherently. Unfortunately Bollywood manages to bring down the story of a national hero to its knees and successfully fares well where every other forgettable Bollywood movies fare; in its moments. In moments during Milkha racing from the pains of running bare feet to running for life, 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' finds its footing that are rare and too few in myriad of drama and Bhangra.",3 "TVF Pitchers Season 2 continues the story of the four friends who started their own startup in Season 1. The second season picks up a few months after the events of the first season, and follows the characters as they deal with the challenges and successes of running a growing business. One of the standout features of Season 2 is the way it explores the personal lives of the characters in more depth. We see the characters grappling with issues such as relationships, family dynamics, and personal growth, and these storylines are woven seamlessly into the main narrative of the startup. The series also continues to do a great job of depicting the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and the various challenges and sacrifices that entrepreneurs face in order to succeed. Overall, TVF Pitchers Season 2 is a well-written and well-acted series that offers a realistic and engaging portrayal of the entrepreneurial journey. It is a must-watch for anyone who enjoyed the first season, or for anyone who is interested in startups or entrepreneurship.",10 "One of the best movie made ever in the world of cinema. It's a must must watch. What a great performances, cinematography & direction. It's simple and gripping. Deserve national appreciation with National Awards. Bollywood please don't remake & spoil the beauty of such a fantastic movies. You made remake of this and badly screwed it. South Indian film industries producing amazing and quality content. They don't needs to prove anything to anyone. They are best. Keep doing we will in your support and bollywood should be boycotted. They are arrogant and full of nepotism only. They don't work on quality and talent. Talented people's don get chance to show there talents.",9 "An overrated film, it had everything to be very good. She can act, he can Sing, Theo songs are good, but... The movie time has been badly used, there are many dead. They should involve their love story insted Jack being constantly drunk. Lack of happy Times beteeen Jack and Ally to engage the audience.",5 "It's about Batman's quest to keep the Joker from capturing Gotham City. ""The Dark Knight"" is truly amazing. For the first time I wanted a movie to be two and a half hours longer. That's very good! Storytelling is so good, every scene is fascinating, shocking and mesmerizing. It kept me interested throughout the film, and in fact most of the time my hands were sweating from all this excitement and suspense. It's amazing that there's no need for intensive editing, excessive violence or meaningless violence to make the film exciting.",5 "I am not trying to relate this to Milkha Singh's real life. However, this was an attempt to portray Singh and narrate his life through a motion picture. To preserve the elements of Bollywood and to maintain the ""larger than life"" aspect, a number of unnecessary scenes and characters have been added. The ghee-gulping scene was terrible and could not be accepted. By any stretch of imagination, I did not find it possible for a man to do anything even close to that. Sonam Kapoor came and disappeared. She was not required in the story but as I said, was necessary for the Bollywood ""chatak"". The foreign girl and the sex scene could just not have been a part of the story. Other absurd things keep happening and God knows why IMDb rates the movie so high. Also, the story wasn't very long, and yet, it was stretched to 3hrs and 10mins. I must say that Farhan Akhtar has done an immensely difficult job. He was brilliant from the first scene to the last and i can well imagine the hard work that has gone into each of these scenes. I must say that if you are concerned with the relevance of the film with reality, forget it...you will hardly find any.",6 "Without government permission, the Army can't action . in this movie, Army get action without permission.",1 So the drug lord of Bangladesh can't even speak in proper bangla? Very insulting lol,1 "The thought of Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in the same movie almost put me off before I entered the theatre, but the prospect of a Charlie Kaufman film was too strong to resist. In fact, both of the leads were gratifyingly good and not at all annoying, Carrey especially. (Note to Jim: do more drama and less of the comedy gurning, like Bruce Almighty!) The basic premise of the film is that Jim and Kate's characters are together, then split up and she decides to erase all memory of him. He discovers this and then decides to go down the same route. That's where the fun starts. In contrast to Adaptation and Being John Malkovich, this has a lot more romance in it and I imagine that many will shed a tear at the film. Having left the cinema almost 48 hours ago, though, I'm still trying to decide whether I like this movie or not. It made me laugh at times, it definitely made me think about whether there's any real point in erasing memories of someone, but I feel that Mr Kaufman may have bitten off more than he can chew this time. The trademark wackiness is still there, coupled with some temporal distortion, but overall I get the feeling that Kaufman's trying too hard. Undoubtedly, it'll do good box office and get good reviews, but it's no Being John Malkovich, or even an Adaption - sorry. 6 out of 10",6 "I felt morally obliged to log on to IMDb and give review about this movie. Sarathkumar acting was top class so did everyone else. This movie comes with a moral message and not advocating such good movie is a like committing a crime. Story and suspense was equally great. I don't understand why this movie is not so popular. Way way way better than Jailer movie. ""Por Thozil"" is a cinematic masterpiece that deserves every bit of acclaim it can get, this film stands out not only for its captivating story and suspense but also for the exceptional performances delivered by its cast, particularly the brilliant Sarathkumar. Sarathkumar's portrayal in ""Por Thozil"" is nothing short of phenomenal. With a career spanning decades, Sarathkumar has consistently proven his versatility as an actor, and this movie is yet another testament to his talent. He effortlessly embodies his character, drawing viewers into the complex world of the film. His expressions, body language, and dialogue delivery are impeccable, making his character incredibly relatable and emotionally resonant. Sarathkumar's portrayal in ""Por Thozil"" is a reminder of his prowess as a seasoned actor. But Sarathkumar is not the only star of the show. The entire cast of ""Por Thozil"" delivers stellar performances that enhance the movie's impact. Each character is meticulously crafted, and every actor breathes life into their role. The chemistry among the cast members feels genuine, adding depth to the narrative. It's not just about individual performances; it's the ensemble cast's synergy that elevates this film to greatness. The story of ""Por Thozil"" is a masterclass in storytelling. It weaves together elements of drama, suspense, and moral dilemmas to create a gripping narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The plot unfolds with precision, revealing layers of complexity in both the characters and their dilemmas. It's a testament to the scriptwriter's skill that the story never loses its grip on the audience, and the suspense is maintained until the very end. One of the standout aspects of the film is its moral message. ""Por Thozil"" doesn't just entertain; it provokes thought and challenges societal norms. It raises questions about family, upbringing, ethics, justice, and the choices parents make in the face of difficult circumstances. The film's moral underpinning is a thought-provoking aspect that lingers long after the credits roll. It reminds us that cinema can be a powerful medium for addressing important issues and sparking meaningful discussions. The cinematography and direction in ""Por Thozil"" are top-notch. The director's vision is beautifully translated onto the screen, with each frame carefully composed to enhance the narrative. The use of light and shadow, camera angles, and visual symbolism adds depth to the storytelling. The film's aesthetics are not just visually pleasing but also integral to conveying the emotions and tensions within the plot. The suspense in ""Por Thozil"" is skillfully built, keeping viewers guessing and engaged throughout the film. The plot unfolds with calculated reveals that leave you craving more. The director and editor's collaborative efforts shine in creating a sense of anticipation that culminates in a satisfying and unexpected climax. It's a testament to the film's craftsmanship that the suspense doesn't rely on cheap tricks or jump scares but rather on a meticulously constructed plot. Furthermore, ""Por Thozil"" stands out in comparison to other films in the genre, such as ""Jailer,"" for its unique storytelling and the depth of its characters. While some movies may rely on clichés or formulaic approaches, ""Por Thozil"" takes risks, challenges conventions, and leaves a lasting impression. It's a breath of fresh air in an industry where originality can sometimes be scarce. In addition to its remarkable performances and storytelling, ""Por Thozil"" deserves praise for its production values. The set design, costumes, and overall visual aesthetics are a testament to the dedication and attention to detail of the production team. Every aspect of the film, from the smallest prop to the grandest set piece, contributes to the immersive experience. In conclusion, ""Por Thozil"" is a cinematic masterpiece that deserves a wide audience and critical acclaim. Sarathkumar's outstanding performance, supported by a brilliant ensemble cast, brings the characters to life in a way that is both emotionally resonant and thought-provoking. The film's captivating story and suspenseful narrative, coupled with its powerful moral message, make it a must-watch for cinephiles and anyone who appreciates the art of storytelling. This is not just a movie; it's an experience that will leave you reflecting on its themes long after the credits roll. ""Por Thozil"" is a shining example of the transformative potential of cinema, and it's a gem that should not be missed.",10 "It is a piece of art. Every episode gives us enough, but not too much and always made me watch further. All 3 seasons are great. 1st season has it's vibe where you don't know much ambut you want to know what's going on so you keep watching. At season 2, oh boy, it's getting even darker and better. And in S3 the last episodes were just wow.. I loved how there were 2-3 groups of characters where they all are after the same thing, but all know different things about it. Cons - S3 where all characters went all boyfriend girlfriend stuff, it was not neccessary.",9 "...and its not even close. What more can be said about Fargo? Fargo is Shakespearian in its grandness, with career defining performances from the elite ranks of American actors and a brilliant insight into the human condition, from the best of what people can achieve to the lowest, most contemptable. I see a disturbing number of negative reviews on here, and it really makes you consider how fall standards in art have fallen among younger people. Back in 1997, even those who didn't love the violence in Fargo at least conceded that its a superbly constructed film. This is a top-10 film of all time.",10 "In a galaxy far far away, a part human, a green lady, a brute, a talking raccoon and a walking tree set out to save a purple stone, which can cause a purple explosion, from falling into the wrong hands. That is Guardians of the Galaxy. There is nothing more to it. All the characters are one-dimensional with generic interests in the mission; Peter Quill, the part-human outlaw (Chris Pratt), Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) and the magic tree (Bruce Willis) are only interested in the payoff and of course in the end they change their motive to saving the world, without any apparent reason. Gamora (Zoe Saldana), the obligatory lady in the team, knows how evil the villains are and wants to stop them. The extremely annoying Drax (Dave Bautista) wants to avenge his murdered family. And the villains want the purple stone to take over the world. Why do they want this particular stone, don't they have any other explosives with them? Who knows. There is the overused cliché of circumstances bringing the motley bunch of heroes together, them having an adventure and becoming friends at the end of it. But none of them share any chemistry between them and is it hard to see what made them become friends. Not that we care though; we know they would all end up as friends and so they do. We don't care about anything else in the movie either. We hardly know our heroes and since it is the Marvel Universe, we know none of them would die. The planet, the villains are threatening to destroy is alien, we know nothing about its denizens and again, we know it is going to be saved. The stakes never seem high. The movie, however, is visually pleasing. 3D has been used innovatively. CG is realistic and the worlds created using it are beautiful. The action is good. There are some funny moments and good one-liners. There is nothing new though. It has a run-of-the-mill feel to. Watch it if you like generic action flicks or a die-hard fan of Marvel comics. Give it a skip otherwise.",4 "I found some scenes to be taking too long to finish. Plot was good Excitement was good SK could do better.",7 "As many have mentioned in the reviews, the production, acting, etc. are all great but the suspense and plot (especially the end) just fall flat. The concept was interesting enough but they don't explain enough even by the end to make you care. You're just left with a feeling of ""Why did I just watch this?""",4 I fell asleep in the cinema when I was watching this movie.,1 "I gave this 2 stars. One for Laura Dern and one for Willem Dafoe. This movie is terribly written kind of like the book. It reads like a bad book by John green. Not only was the premise absurd and offensive, but the characters were 2 dimensional at best. Laura dern deserves compensation for the bland simpleton of a character she was forced to work with. Willem dafoe is such a good actor that I actually found myself captivated by his character despite how hamhanded Green wrote his character. Willem forever! <3 The only saving grace of this movie is the fact that is is going to be forgotten much like Augustus is afraid of. But I can't neglect to mention something in this movie that made my body recoil and my soul leave my body (in a bad way). The Anne Frank annex scene. How dare you John? How dare you diminish Anne Frank's suffering and have these horny teens to kiss where she hid in a cupboard from Nazis. Tasteless. This was so offensive I actually forgot where I was and who I am. And I still don't know. And not only this, but everyone claps? When they kiss? So disrespectful. No one who has been to a Holocaust museum would ever feel like kissing someone, but rather disgusted and sad for the victims of the Holocaust. I am still baffled that this was put to paper and then the big screen. RIP my happiness.",2 "Literary critic Stanley Fish says that the film is a standard caper film in which ""some improbable task has to be pulled off by a combination of ingenuity, training, deception and luck."" He goes on to describe the film's structure: ""(1) the presentation of the scheme to reluctant and unimaginative superiors, (2) the transformation of a ragtag bunch of ne'er-do-wells and wackos into a coherent, coordinated unit and (3) the carrying out of the task."" Although he thinks the film is good at building and sustaining suspense, he concludes, This is one of those movies that depend on your not thinking much about it; for as soon as you reflect on what's happening rather than being swept up in the narrative flow, there doesn't seem much to it aside from the skill with which suspense is maintained despite the fact that you know in advance how it's going to turn out. ... Once the deed is successfully done, there's really nothing much to say, and anything that is said seems contrived. That is the virtue of an entertainment like this; it doesn't linger in the memory and provoke afterthoughts. What can be added to this? Not much. What we got is a very very typical cliched edge-of-the-seat rescue mission movie with all the very predictable traits such as cliffhanger, last minute salvation, smart guys talk, and above all, very angelic good country prevaling over very demonic bad one. And am I the only one who is tired of all that endless four-letter depletive used so much and so every now and then that it really becomes tepid and fetid? Okay, the cast is awesome, soundtrack is spellbinding, the camera work is stunning, but then, we have just a nice wrapping paper with no afterthoughts once we consumed yet another trivial movie",2 Man this is a bad movie so obvious from the getgo what was gonna happen. Avoid,3 "Weird. Left me with a sence of understanding nothing at all. Not grasping anything. Not good, but is it bad? Don't know. Black humor, and very artsy. Do I recomend it? Could'nt say. Great actors tough.",4 What does this movie want to tell us? That the people living at the bottom have a tough life? That these people are evil and shameless? That they are continue to be like this as if THEY are the heroes? I can't believe this movie won 4 Oscars!,5 Pacing and character building is just awful. What is wrong with people giving this show a 8+,4 "One Punch Man is an amazing series that always keeps you entertained. I don't understand the hate against the second season. I noticed literally no difference in the animation. Also, I love Saitama just as much as the next guy, but just because he doesn't have that much screen time in season two doesn't mean the season is bad. There is something called world building. It focuses a good bit on other characters like Metal Bat and Garou and I appreciate that. Speaking of Garou, he is one of the greatest anime villains I've ever seen. In conclusion, One Punch Man is hilarious and so easy to watch. It keeps your attention and it has such unique and interesting characters. Give the show a watch if you haven't seen it already.",9 "The modern-day movie public seems entranced with the in-your-face barbaric and crude film style of Quentin Tarantino. The writer-producer-actor definitely has talent, and an imagination. But films such as this that have long-running dialogs - some sensible but mostly far-fetched, need to have a solid plot to be interesting. The plot of ""Pulp Fiction"" is very weak - almost pointless. And when the long stretches of cinematic street philosophy are punctuated with brutal scenes of blood and guts, I don't find much of anything entertaining. I enjoy great mysteries, including some of the better film noir. But for the gore and guts movies to be good and have appeal, they must at least have an interesting plot and very good screenplay. ""Reservoir Dogs"" was such a Tarantino movie. But this plot has scenarios that bounce around in a weak screenplay. While there's a thin thread that connects some parts, others don't mesh. So, it comes across as a few short stories put together, some of which have the same characters. An example of this is when Christopher Walken's Captain Koons tells a tall story to a young boy named Butch Coolidge. Two scenarios or so later, Butch is a full-grown boxer played by Bruce Willis. Other scenarios happen out of order, or in reverse order. This seems to be a style with Tarantino, and one that some movie critics and buffs think is a great talent. I think it's a technique meant to grab an audience where the writer can't figure out a way to do it with a straight story chronologically. This sort of sets on end the long-standing teaching and methods of storytelling, writing, and playwrighting. And, there are a number of people who still prefer the chronological order of stories. We don't mind the use of flashbacks which are clearly identified as such. But wide changes in time or order, back and forth, from one scenario to another is confusing and says the author couldn't come up with the right ending. So, he or she used some weird techniques to make an ending superfluous. And, some of these films really don't have endings. This film could have started or ended just about anyplace within the screenplay. Tarantino or the director just needed to shuffle the pages. It ruins what might be a good story for me. As for the acting in this film - what's so outstanding about characters spewing vulgarities back and forth, or screaming and intimidating people with foul threats in running expletives? Seems we all have a tantrum streak within us. ""Pulp Fiction"" isn't an enjoyable or entertaining film. It is a look at the underworld of drugs, thugs, blood and guts. The only thing I can see that might attract such near adulation for this film is the huge and diverse cast. But I'll take any number of other types of films that can entertain with solid plots, screenplays with civility, and great acting.",2 "I have not been aware of this show's existence until only 2 months ago where I saw it being showcased at my local Supanova in Australia which is a general game/comic book/ pop culture fandom convention. I saw a couple of people there cosplaying as Izuku Midoria with his iconic green hair. I was intrigued about this strange new anime show that I did hear some famous YouTubers talking about, so I bought a couple of the manga books and started watching the anime. The very first that clicked into my head when a began to understand the show's premise that it's about a school where the characters go to discover and further master their hidden ""quirks"" or ""powers"" where they train to become heroes. The more I read and got into the story, the more I started to realise that this show might have a deeper meaning than I previously thought. ASD was literally the first thing that came to mind when I started to understand the characters and the way they were created and constructed, something about the way it's made which is especially shown in the humor and design of the manga series is that it's a positive and uplifting (though violent) teen-young adult orientated show shining light for people with Autism/Aspergers or anywhere on the ASD spectrum. As a person on the spectrum I could really relate to just how clearly how not all but a majority of the characters seemed to hold characteristics of people on the spectrum, closely relating these ""quirks"" that these characters have to real like special interests and obsessions that many Autistic people naturally have and develop, usually from early childhood. I also like how characters have more than one quirk and are flexible aswell, they are not singular, fixed or set in stone which was something that I could also really relate to and I think they nailed the natural behaviour of how an Autistic mind works without putting any shame or stigma on it, even if the creators of this show did it indirectly or completely by accident. And it's beautiful I have always had obsessions a child, mainly with elevators, trains, planes, machines like DVD and VHS players which eventually branched out into theme parks, air travel and general science. I have grown as an adult now how to curb these obsessions which to flow and change overtime unfixedly for me but never truly disappear or go away. Right off the bat I seemed to identify Izuku as Autistic or at least Asperger's by his characteristics and mannerisms. He just felt like that type of character to me. I have only watched 10 episodes so that might change later for me, but I have personally witnessed very few fictional character that fit and mirror the characteristics of Asperger's so well and I thought he did characterise you young man who is confident and masculine while also being slightly withdrawn, shy and socially awkward. Just like a majority of young men on the spectrum at that age This could all just be my personal rambling though and I have only dipped my toe into what this show has to offer, but that was my first impression of My Hero Academia and I am very happy that a show structured like this exists with so many entertaining characters, it's does fell like Overwatch at times with just how many unique and creative characters they can cram into it without it ever feeling like bloated unnecessary filler. It is very difficult to do that creatively, which I why Overwatch, being a video game is the only other direct reference I can currently comparing it to. I do feel like at this point is time that entertainment is changing, learning from certain strides of origionality from previous shows and fandoms (as well as their mistakes) and further improving for the greater good of our real world society which is currently growing and changing socially right now in a very positive way due to the worlds reaction to COVID-19. This show symbolises empowerment and diversity as well as freedom of expression of self to me, it's a sign that society in the not too distant future is going to change for the better and slowly transform into that ""one world society"" that some people throw around, breaking down all barriers of race, ethnicity and ultimately, neurodiversity between Autistics and Non-Autistics bringing these two neurotribes together in a way that hasn't really been established before. It is true that Autistic people's brains develop differently to a Non-Autistic and further research into the condition is going to give more insight into exactly why that is the case. But anyway I'm going on a massive tangent here. Give this series a try even if you're not into anime like I once was, you have nothing to lose :)",8 The First season had a good Plot and the Second Season was even darker and had a even better Plot and Character Development but now in the third season many characters acted out of their before invented personality land had Many subplots that blocked the Main Plot which i had Problems getting into because it was so slow.

The rest of this film is kinda messy.

There are at least two moments in the film where Robert Deniro's charcter Frank ""The Irishman"" Sheeran mentions how young people of today dont know much about Jimmy Hoffa other than the fact that he dissapeared. And I am definitely in that category and that is how I will be approaching this review. The name Jimmy Hoffa was etched into popular culture as being a notable figure who went missing. I have not done any research on the topic, nor watched or remember previous films on the subject of Jimmy Hoffa, so this story was able to shed some light on Hoffa, who was the head of the Teamsters, and how he was basically the most important figure of the American worker next to the President. The story is told through 3 different timelines. The film begins with an elderly Sheeran telling the audience his story, which then shifts to the present with DeNiro and Pesci on a road trip to Detroit. During their roadtrip, Sheeran recollects the first time he met Bufalino and then shifts to the past to when he began his life of crime. Like other gangster films of the past there are many players and characters to come and go as the film progresses. These films are telling stories that span decades, so even if the viewer is confused or not really know what is going on, you can view it and compare it to gangster films of the past. And in that regard. I feel The Irishman just cant compare to other films that were told better. Goodfellas, Casino, The Godfather Alot of the times while watching this I felt I had already seen it before. Which is how some people feel about Casino being another version of Goodfellas. And I guess I was expecting something as epic as those films, but nothing ever comes close. My opinion may be unpopular, but wait for Netflix. And hearing the hefty pricetag on this film, I just couldn't see it on the screen. It really didnt feel cinematic at all. When I went home I had to do a double feature of Goodfellas and Casino just to remind myself that Gangster movies can be a plethora of things: exciting funny and sad. The Irishman is mostly a slog and in time wont be remembered like other classics.",3 "The BEST of the lot so far!!!!!!! contents of the book are displayed in an engaging fashion, in addition to some witty innovations.. there are some spellbinding action sequences, in addition to some lump-in-the-throat emotional ones. the performances of the lead trio are excellent as usual. director David Yates deserves an applause fr his refined piece of work. the story is quick in some parts ans slow in others, as per the requirement. the climax is astonishing, and develops a disturbing impatience for the final edition, which will be released next year. half the story has been unfolded, and the remaining half is definitely going to be even better, as per the book-content. hence, great expectations have already been developed!! come soon July 2011!!!!",10 "Just finished episode 5 an all I can say is I'm massively disappointed. So far in episodes 1 to 5 each lasting about 54mins each... so 270 mins, out of this I have seen probably about 15 mins (at most) of Moonknight in his full glory. Episode 1 you get like 7 seconds. Episode 2 maybe 9 mins and Episode 3 maybe another 9 mins... max. Then Episode 4 has zero appearance nor does Episode 5. I subscribe to Disney+ because I love marvel characters so when they released a series on such a bad ass hero I got really excited only to be left wanting. Pro's Oscar Isaac is amazing and I can even put up with his ""British"" accent. Cons, the story being dragged out without actually explaining the villain and solely focusing on his relationship with his wife and him dealing with his split personality. And complete lack of action.",4 "Season 4 has been the best season yet of the show. It's full of action that was shot perfectly, and It has more blood than ever this season. The only thing that I don't like is the woke alphabet agenda. This is supposed to be set in the 80s when people stayed in the closet because of fear of persecution, they're taking 2022 and putting it in the 1980s.",7 "The Wither book is not LOTR nor GOT. Where it comes to story telling Whither uses more atmosphere than linear story line. Like in real life when you listen people talking about politics, you also do not have to understand everything. When Geralt talks about politics with Jaskier only little is outlined, but one thing is clear Geralt is cynic ignorant while Jaskier is cynic opportunist. The whole world of the Whitcher is revealed very slowly through dialogs. And this is where this show is failing. Dialogs are often boring, not helping to build up the mysterious world.",8 "I have read the books and played ALL OF THE WITCHER GAMES. CDPR has sticked to the books as much as they could, the story was always charachters past, but here, its clearly a bad remake of the original story. As a TRUE fan of this universe, I will say this, in short, Netflix has: Changed the original story (insanely, they killed characters which are still alive in The Witcher 3, which were alive in the books) Changed the original look of the characters (Netflix clearly changed EVERYTHING, some characters are dark skin and some are asians, some characters have a different hair color and what not, I AM NOT A RACIST, but sorry guys, this is a medieval time and it just DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE). What else should I say? Changing the original story and the original characters THAT MUCH, is already enough for a TRUE FAN to HATE the show. This TV-Show is a joke for the real fans, I am so disappointed...",1 "I watched it yesterday. First and foremost, I'll have to say this. I'll warn you that I may be chauvinistic to both sexes here. I was doubtful if female director can successfully pull off a testosterone ""male"" oriented blockbuster. Point Break is awesome, but Hurt Locker and Punisher:WZ I found to be boring and uninteresting. However, when it as announced that woman will direct WW, I felt they got it as I believe that only a female director can give the character justice. Of course, it if was a guy, it may totally be the same movie, so I digress. But first before getting on the movie, let me say that I am not much of a fan of WW (neither I read many comics - Perez I love, Azzarello run and Hiketeia I intensely dislike, though I admire what the Finch couple did). About the movie: I think it's very, fair, honest and sympathetic portrayal of the title character, the best it can get and much in vein of Donner Superman IMO. Moreover, Gal is beautiful, sexy and lethal in equal measures (though I am bit nostalgic for Linda Carter:grin:) And this WW is bereft of the superhero antics I find in Nolan/Snyder verse, where are frustrated, confused character with phrases like:""should I do it; who am I; it hurts me being superhero, hurts me when being not..."". No, this character is a hero and wants it to be. And I believe, just as the poster for Superman (1978) - ""You'll believe a man can fly"". On the other hand, the plot is already chewed-up and clichéd. It didn't engage me much. I am not particularly convinced with Pine's performance (but he did good). Thewlis, though, ruined it for me. His later ""reveal""... well, can't say I've seen it coming, but it didn't surprise me, either. Also, I find the main villain fight to be a bit cheap, tedious, and unconvincing, with WW all of suddenly unleash all her fury, before seriously eating dirt. As for action scenes; the special effects are impressive, but the action itself I find just ostensibly thrilling. Don't know, probably because, I've grown spoiled, petulant and craving for more over the years, so that nothing much can surprise me. And flawed he may be, Snyder knows how to make a glory spectacle. Sorry, Patty.",5 "It's Big, Vivid n Loud, with Nothing inside it. Superficial Glamour and yet..Zero Intelligence with the almost ""Underground"" level of storytelling. . What can I say.., After all, it's the ""Michael Bay"" movie.",2 "I simply just don't get why so many people have this a 10. Yes it was really good, but not breathtaking or the best series I've seen in my life. I thought it was pretty straight forward except for really good storytelling and a good cast.",8 "Bay will never understand that cool camera frames all the time, GTA violence and random chicks won't make a movie. I was absolutely bored, didn't care for single character.. just trash",4 "No one has spoke out for their co star SSR justice , so , boycott movement going on",1 "The first time I watched this, I made it maybe 10 minutes in, turned it off and thought 'Wow, this is awful' since it seemed like such a ridiculous stereotypical show for young teens or something. I kept reading about it being a great show, and I was confused wondering if other people had actually watched the same thing, so I decided to give it another chance. Turns out if I had just kept watching it gets a lot better. The opening to the show is painful, the tour Enid provides to Wednesday of the school is atrocious - but I guess that's because she's explaining everything as she sees it. Her personality is some sort of annoying social media addicted teen stereotype. She is supposed to be completely the opposite of Wednesday. This is not the tone of the show, and that character does improve over time. Unfortunately it was that tour that caused me to turn it off, and I can't help but wonder how many other viewers were lost to it. After that, it's actually good. I have a lot of minor issues with the show otherwise - Gomez and Morticia seem a bit off to me, but that's because my last exposure to those characters they were played by Raul Julia and Anjelica Houston. Wednesday's tendency to say edgy things occasionally just come across as a teen trying to sound edgy and I do wish they'd tone that down just a little bit. It usually doesn't add anything. It's one thing when some sort of horrific thing is mentioned and she's like 'sounds great!', it's another when she just blurts out something like 'if you hears screams I'm probably just enjoying myself' before going into a cave. It probably wouldn't hurt if they leaned into the fact that Wednesday is blatantly neurodivergent and not just weird, which the actress is obviously portraying (and portraying well at that), it's just never mentioned or addressed. Overall it is good and I've enjoyed it.",8 "I was dying to watch this movie with a point like this but' it just doesn't deserve this score. If Inception is 8,6 this movie had a 7,5 with a good perspective. The movie got really meaningless every minute. It ended so ridiculous, ""Oh, I have a plan. Let's make us rich."" Wow, why didn't you do that before? It can be enjoyed very hard but never gets this score.",6 "The show starts off slow, the first 4 episodes are a waste like nothing happens the story. It didn't progress but after that it gets better and takes a really good turn up until episode 8. The finale was decent but kind of disappointing, some good action scenes but the show lacked from having anything which can shock or some good twists and they didn't even solve all the questions. People that are rating this show 10 is because it's a marvel show. Disappointed go watch AOT it's way better than this.",6 The pacing is pretty good and so is character development. The only thing I don't care for is the shape of Bernthal's head. That was also my main gripe when he was Shane in The Walking dead.,8 "Delivering his Oscar-speech Ron Howard said that his mother told him he would win an Oscar for A Beautiful Mind. But then again: that's what she has told him after every film he has made. So what was it that went through Howards (beautiful) mind when he made A Beautiful Mind: I HAVE TO MAKE A FILM THAT WILL DEFINITELY WIN AN OSCAR. So here is what he did: he closely studied a list with previous winners (for best actor): My Left Foot, Rain Man, Forrest Gump (I wont' go on and on, because it isn't that hard to see the connection). And it paid of. Congratulations. So now that you've got your first Oscar, Ron, it's time to focus on another genre. I'll give you some help: Bravehaert, Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, The English Patient. Think big, think epic. Yes, you will deliver another lousy film, but mom will be proud, cause, guess what: OSCAR TIME.",3 "I'm sure not everything is correct in this movie, but it's partly true, and very entertaining. The flying portions are very well done, and I like that there is some humour in it. It would have been nice to see subtitles whenever someone was speaking Spanish, but there were only a few lines that actually were which had us wondering a lot.",7 "You go years without a multi-star whodunit mystery and then they all come at once. In between the release of two recent Kenneth Branagh remakes of old Agatha Christie movies, popped up this loving, if offbeat pastiche of the genre by Rian Johnson. Actually, this movie seemed more reminiscent to me, of an old episode of Columbo or Murder She Wrote (it can't be coincidence that we get a glimpse of the latter in a scene) from forty or fifty years ago. Naturally, the lead detective has to be quirky, quixotic and a quintessential genius and so he is, in the form of Daniel Craig's heavily Southern-accented detective Benoit Blanc. He's hired by an unknown client to investigate the apparent suicide of an elderly, multi-millionaire murder-mystery writer Harlan Thrumbey, played by the late Christopher Plummer. Again, as you'd expect in this type of thing, there's mucho family intrigue as his three dysfunctional and selfish middle-aged children sit back to await the confirmation and cause of death before the old man's millions are presumably doled out to them in his will. But when that doesn't happen and the will, rewritten only a week before, leaves everything, and that means everything, to his young Uruguayan carer Marta (Ana De Armas), all hell breaks loose amongst the disinherited while Blanc methodically continues his own investigation, with two rather dull, rule-bound cops for company. You just know it's all going to end up with Blanc grandstanding in front of all the suspects in a confined room when all is finally explained and every loose end tied up with a nice big bow. It was all very slickly and painstakingly presented, especially the set dressings inside the old family mansion, although I didn't consider the writing to be any better or worse than it had any right to be. Certain things just seemed weird for weird's sake, like Marta's inability to tell a lie without vomiting up her food or the ridiculous accent that Craig appropriates for his character. I also think that director Johnson could have cut out (no pun intended) a few extraneous family members who added little to the film. The soundtrack was distinctly strange too ( Roxy Music's ""More Than This"", Gordon Lightfoot's ""Sundown"" and the Stones' ""Sweet Virginia"" over the end credits?) unless there's something I missed in the lyrics of these songs which somehow relate back to some aspect of the plot. All that said, I grew up watching mystery movies and TV detective series in the 70s and 80s the nostalgic memories of which no doubt helped increase my enjoyment of this particular movie.",6 The movie has no soul till the climax its a complete waste,2 "From episode 1, I knew that this show was going to be about high school bulling, but I hadn't a clue how powerful and realistic the show was as I got further on. The show makes you realize that everyone is truly human. I highly recommend it, but it does contain disturbing and distressing scenes. New Review - Season 2: Now that I have completed season 2, I have compared both seasons and must admit that this season is a much better seasons. Season 1 was mainly focused on Hannah and the people who hurt her, but we see in season 2 how Hannah's trial is affecting everyone. It seems a bit jarring and sad how one persons death has had an impact on sooo many people's lives. Season 2 focuses on characters we used to hate but now find new love and connections for, particularly Justin, who started the show as your average Jock/bully. He and Zack are one of a dozen characters who have changed since season 1. We got to see more into Hannah's personal life and people might end up having slightly different feelings towards her, yet still sympathize for her. Clay will always be Clay and the other characters are all pretty great. Yea, I think people should watch this show. Alot of people say that this show is an unhealthy glamorized documentary about teen mental issue and I half agree on that. The idea on getting revenge on people who bullied you, hurt you or, for some reason liked you but never admitted their feelings to you> And then making 13 tapes to those people and committing suicide doesn't really give the message in a healthy way. But that doesn't mean that people should watch it. I believe that there should be two types of people who can watch it. Those who will just see the show as entertainment and those who see the show with deeper meanings and want to find some sort of comfort from these bad events in the show. i do and don't recommend this show at the same time, because there are young people with mental issues who could tka e these show events to a dark level, but they should see it in an effort to help those in future who are struggling.",8 "Hubby and I tried to watch, but only lasted 40 minutes into it, which was about 20 minutes more than we should have. Horribly slow and I did not know that training a spy would mean to show them how to become sexual objects of torture. I guess we just couldn't get passed that part to get to any part of this film that may have redeemed itself. We like Jennifer Lawrence, but too bad she ended up in this film. Better luck with the next one!",1 "It just shows the arrogance of Tarantino, don't take away that the film is jaw dropping, Stella performances from all the cast & incredibly well directed, but you get the feeling that Tarantino may have sat down with his buddies & said 'My next project, I'm going to troll the whole industry, I'm going to get a triple A cast, shoot the movie perfectly but here's the twist...the script is going to be so boring that people will still claim love it because it has me directing & Dicaprio acting...just watch these fools find a deeper meaning!' Well according to the average ratings...he pulled it off.",4 "This movie is about 2 ancient Sailor types who have to man a lighthouse in the (1800s?). This is apparently a thankless, tedious and taxing experience which causes the two men (one young and one old) to desend into madness. Honstely, I didn't know what to expect when I watched it. I didn't know (and still don't) know if it were meant to be a horro film, psycological thriller or some sort of homoertoic medaphore for something that esacped me. I didn't like it. It started off ok and the two actors are powerhouses so I can't blame their acting for this. I blame the writing and directing. There is some sort of homoerotic leaning as that at one point one of the men watches another pleasure himself and we the audience get to see the other man pleasure himself. It doesn't seem to fit with the dark tone, the two men don't have that kind of chemistry between them and a lot of the movies makes absolutely not sense. A movie should have a begnning, middle and end that resolves. That's what I want in a movie in that I get to have in fantasy what I don't get in life, predictability. I'm not saying I want the movie to be predictable, but I want that formula. THis one sort of starts in the middle, and eventually ends, but there is no resolve, only questions, and first among those is ""what the hell was that?"" I say dont' watch this one. Read reviews and save yourself about an hour and a half that you could spend doing anything else, which would be more productive and enteratining than this dribble. Oh yeah, it's got a mermaid in it, but that doesn't do anthing to make it more interesting, it only brings up more questions.",3 "I for one thought the movie was OK. I didn't think it was amazing at all. This version had its highs and lows, but am I really watching this film remake? Emma looks awesome as usual and Sally Fields was believable as Aunt May, but then again its Sally Fields. She could play a bush in the front yard and be convincing at it. I'm always disappointed with film makers trying to cash in and compete with other super hero films that are being released. Marvel has so many other characters to make films about and after the ""musical"" I think the Spidey movies should halt. To be honest I would have rather seen a team up Spidey movie then a rehashing.....",4 "There's no good reason for this being 9/10, I watched the first Episode attentively... PLEASE don't let your girlfriend talk you into it because of the cute Kids or the nice music. It is horrible guys, very cliched Sephen King - stuff.",3 "... it's not entirely her fault. It's clear she was badly miscast, presumably to help fulfill some ethnic-diversity requirement, and she sounds as if she was poorly dubbed. Her lifeless, beady-eyed expression never changes. The two male leads are considerably more fun to watch. But Martin Short's aging-showbiz-loser character -- animated, garrulous, bubbly, and soft -- comes off as gay (that's what he would be in real life), so it's weird to see him visiting his adult son, and even weirder that the son is another example of nonwhite casting. Implausible. Steve Martin's character makes more sense, but he's also the series' creator, and so it's probably his fault that, from the start, the story tends to drag. Even, for example, in the first episode -- an episode that really ought to hook us -- the camera lingers on him as he delivers a tedious, uninterrupted monologue about his past; Gomez is given one too, equally tedious; and... Well, put it this way: When Larry David, in the latest season of his own series, gets bored and impatient with what someone is saying, he begins humming the music that's played at the Academy Awards when an Oscar recipient's speech drones on too long. He even whips out his cell phone and plays it on that. All too often I had the same reaction, hearing Gomez and Martin. I genuinely wanted to like this series (partly since it was filmed in my neighborhood), but as with other disappointed viewers on this site, I feel as if my time has been wasted.",4 "It's not a ""cheap"" version of anything. Cavill is fantastic and story is really building. Can't wait for season 2 and beyond!!",9 Interstellar is no doubt a truly transcendent movie for it's time and raises the bar in so many ways. But in my opinion I think it is far too long and far too complex at times that makes it hard to connect to and understand. The complexity does contribute to why it's so good at moments and had the ending it did but I just think it also took away from the film. The production and quality of filming was so high along with the acting throughout. It's definitely worth the watch but I just didn't feel like it lived up to the hype as one of the best ever like the ratings and reviews suggest. It's inception in space.,7 "The first part was a real detective story with an investigation and a puzzle. This part begins as an entertaining youth movie. The mystery box looks fantastic and therefore out of place in this movie. The story itself is not as complicated as it was presented. There are also contradictions. Why is Miles so rich and powerful if he's a loser? Why did his ""friends"" immediately abandon him when his house burned down? How did it affect? Why is the house exploding everywhere, as if the fuel is everywhere in it? If this fantastic fuel generates energy, then it's not in the house anyway. The house is powered by electricity. In general, the story is a detective story, but it is spoiled by inappropriate fantastic elements: a box with a mystery and a burnt Mona Lisa painting.",6 "Everybody in the family that watched this agreed that if it had got much slower it would have stopped. Thoroughly over-rated. The first half was not too bad with a few funny and interesting scenes but it deteriorated to the point where I became as bored as the 2 main characters. One of the very few films I was tempted to leave before finishing it. The only redeeming feature was the excellent cinematography but that alone does not make a film. If this is all Sophia Coppola is capable of she should give up. One star out of five.",1 """The path towards self destruction has fancied all men but all do it in a quiet corner of their day dream or with a peg of whisky along a buddy's weekend. But what if someone is really on a confused path of self destruction? Well then you are a DevD. The film came to Anurag via Abhay when Abhay was in Las Vegas and heard the story of a regular Romeo who used to visit a strip club in vengeance of a lost relation. Anurag agreed almost instantly when Abhay proposed and the duo decided to film it with a modern tango of the ""Sarat Chandra"" classic ""devdas"". Anurag decided to use Punjab to set up the childhood context of Dev and Paro while shifting the youth to Pahargang in Delhi. Both turned out to be a great move as Paro here is a lady from the village. She is rustic yet sexually provocative. Dev retains the flavor of a rich US return man who is indeed driven by his desire of lust and his tall ego of the riches just adds to his long list of weakness. The result was that Paro dumps him as she saw no future in her relationship. Enter Chandra, when a school girl discovers her transition to adulthood and does a blunder of a mms that goes backfire and viral. A sorry state to be family disowned and hence finally shifts in underground escort services in Delhi. Chuni plays a role of a story catalyst and helps and disowns Dev as his needs. A parasite who plays his cards with the chemistry of Dev and Chandra and then just vanishes. The film was cult and a trend setter in camera work where Anurag used a point to shoot 11 frame camera imported from Amsterdam to shoot Dev's hallucinations while drunk. The ""twilights players"" are a real bunch who played cons as the story progressed. The song ""Saali Khushi"" was actually a mistaken take for ""Saari Khushi"" and the wrong take was finally selected for the punch. The story paces very fast as the film hits delhi and one can see Dev getting trapper more in the state of confusion of love and addictions. His destiny goes against him when he gets in a hit and run case and loses his rich father. Dev's final attempt to seek truth about his love takes him to the northern hills which sets the climax and his ground touch. Frustrated, weak, poor Dev takes a rebirth along the same old momo galli in delhi when Chandra rescues him. The sudden end of the film adds to end the loop that audience goes through and a clear depart from the classic. Anurag thankfully ends it on a high note and this is what the film stands out from the numerous prior devdas films. DevD for sure would remain one of the best works of Anurag and Abhay, no doubt this film is a collector's item and I am sure you dnt mind watching it again tonight. Just a word of caution Devdas is and will always be a looser. His sorry state of affairs make him a legend, so dnt take him too seriously.

None of the characters held my attention long enough to feel a connection to. It's a shame really. I think I'll go back to watch 'WWII in HD colour' to get my fix on this fascinating and shocking historical event. Cheers",2 "This is a picture of the fact that in most disasters it can be the same. Only behind the scenes is always hidden from the public, this mini-series shows the world behind the scenes of one of the world's tragedies, a world that can be the same behind the scenes of most tragedies in the world. Although we can't imagine ourselves in that tragedy, this series was able to show it in the best possible way, as it was able to burn our hearts...",8 I don't understand what the director or writer was thinking. There are 3 main people the story is based on. Each of these characters have 3 or more stories explaining their stories and they keep jumping for story to story to story. Confusing the heck out of you. And then a couple sub-characters also have stories going on. After the 1st few minutes you are so confused. If you like multiple storylines running all the same time. Then this movie is for you. Personally I like a more direct simpler storyline. Maybe the director was trying to explain everything but having over 10 storylines running at the same time. Is a bit much for me.,2 "Okay. I may be a little harsh here but aside the emotions of Infinity war and Endgame, this was not i was expecting. I think they could have just kept it simple and entertaining. Acting is good, it is upto the mark. Writing i think could have been better. Direction too. But in all it is a good popcorn watch just for once. No moments are boring, humour is good too. One should certainly watch it.",5 "I really didn't expect the intensity of the violence in this film or the edgy sexual content; the trailer didn't really suggest this and it caught me off guard. I didn't feel well about halfway through the film: the theater sound was super loud and the violence continuous. Why is everything today blood, guts and sexual torment? No wonder society is so lost.",4 "In a very good way, this movie reminded me of a long episode of Dr. Who. Much better than I expected. And Eddie Redmayne would make a great Doctor, by the way. This movie had a lot of heart, both in the story of the budding friendship between Newt and Jacob, and in Jacob's story with his love interest. The resolutions of both of these stories strike all the right chords. And all the rest is indeed plenty magical and fun, with magical creatures and plenty of action. I came into the movie prepared to suffer though it, as my kid wanted to watch it. I was quite pleasantly surprised.",7 Can't wait for season 2 download watch and thank me later.,8 "I might be one of the last people on the planet to see this movie, I deliberately held off because of the hype. I ended up caving and I'm glad I did and let the period of high expectations pass. This meant I could enjoy it for what it is which is lots of fun. The political messages were present but not too in your face, more a sort of background thought as you leave the cinema. As a 49 year old woman I can't say it spoke to me deeply or shocked nd surprised me any way but I did get some laughs. Margot and Ryan are brilliant and I'm sure will soon be reunited in a prequel or sequel. Calling it now.",8 This started off as such a promising film. The beginning was very captivating and provoked a lot of questions. So many intersting and unexplained things happen at the start of the film but as it goes on it starts to lose it's interest factor. It begins as this cool supernatural sort of suspense film and gets you excited to see what is actually causing all the chaos. I'll save you the trouble though you never get to actually see the movies antagonist in the end which was a big let down because I was hoping for some sort of physical representation. The film actually plays out as a semi-thriler with more focus on the relationship between the kids and malorie which isn't bad but didn't do a great job of getting me to care what happened to them. I had hoped for a much more Intriguing and shocking conclusion but was let down by all the clichés and flat ending. Overall the premise was unique and promising but I found the execution to be lacking and only somewhat enjoyable.,5 "Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood is an enigma of a movie. A bulk of the acting throughout is well done, but what else would you expect from the lineup provided. An opportunity is there for a memorable story. You just never really see one. Had you gone into this movie, well aware of the acting skill-set involved, but with little knowledge of the director's previous work, you'd likely come out saying, ""Not bad, but the director does have potential."" Kinda a summary of the film; has potential. Some of the best acting scenes are of the actors ""acting"" within the movie. But they are drawn out. And in the end, have little to do with where the plot is going, which is a task to figure out itself. Many of the driving scenes are lifeless. Where in past Tarantinio works, like Resevoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, that used this venue for witty dialogue and forums into character's minds. In the end Tarantino called this his love story to L.A. And no doubt the way in which 60's Hollywood is displayed is superb. But the story is sluggish. And when it wraps up in old school Tarantino style it's more like there was simply nothing left to tell. Problem being, not much had been told to us until then. In past Tarantino efforts you end up sorting through several scenes and sequences to pick out your favorites and most memorable. In ...Hollywood, you seem left still searching.",4 "I've just watched Season 2 I may return after watching Season 3 but I feel like a break from the show... I see a lot of reviews having only seen 1 episode or giving up way before I did so thought a 2 season review may be worth putting out there. Here is my spoiler free take on it: Season 1 was pretty cool in hindsight, the idea of an agent getting too involved in the mind of a killer, it was tense and thought provoking as Hannibal's motives and unstoppable scheming made an interesting cat an mouse game of wits and philosophical questions as the viewer related to Will's journey of reluctant hero being sent crazy. I think the best part of it is how Will goes further from sanity and pushes people away while Hannibal's world becomes less and less hidden, it's like one character going into the darkness one character getting a light shone on them more and more, it created an interesting dichotomy with audience slowly relating more to concerned supporting characters like Frank and Alana. Season 2 started with a huge moment that wouldn't happen til the last episode as a teaser, there is a big problem with this and retracing some plot moments of Silence of the Lambs. The issue is if you are a fan of the movies you will start wondering if they are retranslating the books or the whole show is a prequel to the movies. Similarly starting a season with such a significant plot moment removes much of the tension throughout the other episodes. This issue was also found in Red Dragon and most prequels, you can only create so much tension in a prequel because you know who will be in the next movie it's like watching a movie backwards. What results is a visually interesting but gory season with heaaaaps of interesting discussion around psychology and life and death but the season left me really disappointed in how it was constructed, so much bizarre stuff thrown in for filler and strange drum music everywhere. They could have left that plot point out of the first episode and it be a much better season though the parts that repeated moments from Hannibal movie and Silence of the Lambs also take the viewer out of the show and force comparisons and questions of where it's headed. The climax of the season was massively disappointing and made me wonder if I should give Season 3 a go, I wasn't even sure if there was a Season 3, I hear reviews that it is a let down retreading more of Hannibal (which I wouldn't actually mind at least then the show is more like Gotham was than a straight prequel to the movies, I initially thought Will was Edward Norton and the show was a prequel to the prequel); the whole show feels like they wrote themselves into a hole and Season 2 lost pretty much all tension as characters made choices that didn't make sense, they fixed it a little explaining their motives in the latter half but you stop caring what happens, I started being more interested in Freddie character while Alana Will and Jack all became stupid and/or irredeemable. I can't believe the actor they got to fill Gary Oldman's shoes too, some really bizarre line deliveries that remind you how good the movies did it, I just can't really recommend anyone sit through this trauma fest just for the moments of intellectual conversation. That said, the intellectual statements the show makes are some of the best of any show, but it makes me wonder if I should just read the book instead of giving them any more chances as the show is consistent decline and Season 2 was a chore to get through, I really hoped it was the end and then when I saw how 2 ended I just felt like the show had spat in my face. If season 3 redeems the ending of season 2 I may come back to bump this review up a bit, I just get tired of shows sucking up my time with cliffhangers, it's like every show saw how much it worked for Breaking Bad and did the same what results is like drug TV.",6 "After reading numerous, positive reviews, the wife and I tuned into this one, eager to see what the hype was all about. We were expecting something really scary and suspenseful but were very disappointed. To me it seemed like a rip off, of the vastly superior 'A Quiet Place'. In that movie we were really rooting for the family involved but in Bird Box I didn't really care. I normally like Bullock but in this movie I found her really unlikable and felt sorry for the two kids and others stuck with her. She shouts, winges and gives everyone pretty much a hard time. There is a point in the movie when the ever reliable John Malkovich is holding a gun or something and I just want him to actually finish most of those with him off and let the apocalypse take its course. They are all in his house moaning at him and the wife was very much 'it's his house and he let you in to save you so stop giving him grief or do one'. I had to agree with her. I really do like an apocalyptic movie but there are so many better movies out there that offer more scares and suspense. Worth a watch but don't expect too much originality or satisfaction at the end of it.",3 There's not much story. Every episode extended like anything without much content. Its just hype.,1 "You've seen it a hundred times, it's the same story, same kind of characters and situations. Nothing new here. The target audience is surely females under 20. That should tell you everything you need to know before watching this. I can't help but compare it to True Blood, which is much better scripted, the characters are more compelling. It was more original because it didn't take itself as serious and had comedic moments mixed in with over the top violence. You have none of these elements here. It's like True Blood mixed with Twilight. I've watched 2 episodes and it is a mediocre series at best that is highly predictable. I love the cinematography, locations and the cast. But that's about all of it, nothing else stands out. It's a shame because i was expecting something a lot better, specially with a high score here on imdb.",5 "Overall I consider Alpha as a good movie with an interesting concept, for the directing is well-done and it has a nice message, trying to pass some values of friendship, fall-rise, bravery, survival...Moreover, the visuals where good, although in some points I could undertsand that the budget wasn't very high. Also, it is an unigue movie, because there are not a lot of pre-historic movies out there (except 5 Ice Ages). However, it kinda lost me in the second part of the movie (First Part: Tribe Hunting, Second Part: Kenda and Alpha). The first part was very good, but the second one was too long (sleeping, walking...) without enough action. For good or bad the second part was the heart of the film, being however the one that had the main advantages that I mentioned before. Furthermore, I would like to watch more survival (hunting, eating, fishing...) and brutal scenes for it took place in pre-history, in a time that was just the beginning of civilisation. I am not saying that I would want it to be a R-rated movie, for it is a family film, but I am asking for a better balance. All in all it is a nice film for all of the family to watch from ages 9+. But do not expect an adventure film but more of a drama (with the modern term) movie. In the end, it has breathtaking view of nice landscapes and creates a unique atmosphere.",7 "It had a lot of plot holes and some very lazy writting. Too many concepts seemed to come straight from The Happening though...And why would there be a school for the blind in the middle of the woods?!?! And these ""creatures"" and move objects like cars but wouldn't send her and those kids flying ??",1 "Wish I could watch beyond about ep3. Unfortunately a decent show, marred by 1D arab side characters (enemies or cab driver yelling, etc). Shows arabs as either evil, suicide bomber/self sacrificing, etc or just loud. Oscar Isaac (guatamalteco) is good, and I liked the comic. I wish they had done more with the show being set in the middle east than just use some cool egyptian rap! I am confident that I could re-create this show in a better fashion. I have no experience working in entertainment but I've imaginged some great storylines and I'm sure I'll probably write it on my computer soon. TBC.",4 For some reason this one did not work for me. More like watching a war movie then a super hero movie.,2 "This is my first. With the rating this had, I wanted to see this. And for awhile, I was mystified how this received such a high rating. Then it hit me that this probably had something to do with Florida. The racial ""humor"" is just plain transparent. No comic timing. The voice-over is extremely irritating. And we're talking about real talent being wasted. Is it the the editing? Is it the big interfering hand of Rudy Murchant? Strange it is just how little comic relief can be wrung from environmental issues, gay rights, and a myriad of other quite serious issues that face us as a nation (USA). This is the last product I purchase that is presented in foxy wrapping paper. I get a feeling they just went above, beyond and down under. I certainly hope I am not accused of holding a kangaroo court, but when in Rome. Even the language bleeping had the hollow ring of protecting family values, when in essence, no such values were ever presented or even intended.",1 "Jon Favreau knew exactly what he was doing with this movie. This is a sleek, no-holds barred superhero movie, with great performances from Robert Downey Jr. and Mickey Rourke. Let's face it, it was almost impossible to top the first one; nevertheless this a good sequel to one of the best superhero movies ever made. Scarlett Johansson fulfilled her role as the the sexy and cunning agent Natasha Romanoff, and Gwyneth Paltrow is fine as Pepper Potts. Sam Rockwell plays Tony Stark's competitor, and does a pretty good job at it. The only problem I have with this movie is that too many things have been fitted into 124 minutes. I understand that the movie was meant to be a roller-coaster ride, intended to thrill, but a little more character development would certainly have helped the movie. For example Samuel L. Jackson ans Johansson's characters are underused. Also, the ending was a little disoriented and predictable; something just didn't feel right about it. All in all, Jon Favreau has made a movie that would please the fanboys and satisfy the critics. This is a movie that entertains, while still complementing the first movie, and setting up a third movie. If you liked the first movie, just go ahead and watch this movie - you won't see a masterpiece, but you'll have a fun day at the movies. P.S.- Watch out for the after credits scene",7 "Why would you watch this movie??Because of Chris Hemsworth,right??but even he is not worth of 2 hours of my valuable time.Bad script,some weak actors,didn't do enough research on the country they showed.I am very disappointed.",1 "It's not a good movie, but if Marvel and Iron Man come together, you will definitely enjoy it ;)",7 "This movie comes across as a refreshing movie in Bollywood today. I was taken by surprise by this movie. Frankly speaking i did not think that this could be such an edge of a seat thriller. To start with the plot was excellent. The story was beautifully woven around the five characters in the movie. It made me realize that we do have talented directors in Bollywood. Adreneline was pumping in each scene of the movie. There was various twists and turns. As an audience i was completely immersed in this fantastic movie. Every one did well as far as acting was concerned. Veteran Dharamendra showed that he can still act. Neil Nitin Mukesh comes across as a natural actor. Thank god his voice does not resemble his father or grand father. Its a pity that the movie did not do too well at the box office though. An Amir Khan or an Akshay kumar's presence may have taken this movie to the all time block busters list. Overall an excellent movie . I strongly recommend everyone to see it.",8 "This can be called a perfect psycho crime thriller. It's not a horror movie but will terrify you. The antagonist and his brutal crimes are spine chilling. This antagonist is way more terrifying than antagonist of horror movies. If you're watching for first time,I bet you can't stop thinking about it for post 2-3days. Saravanan nailed as Christopher (the psychopath). Vishnu Vishal, Amala Paul,Munishkanth,Abhirami & all others did really well. Hats off to Ram Kumar, writer/director of this masterpiece. Will must say Ghibran's musical is icing on the cake. The movie wouldn't have this effect except the brilliant background sounds. It's been 3 years since the movie released,but never fails to amaze. This movie set a benchmark in psychological/crime thriller genre of Indian cinema. I absolutely loved it & have watched more than 5 times;but always it gives that much thrill. Highly recommended.",9 Incredible show seasons 1 through 4 were amazing season 5 was herorific,8 "The director didn't really understand what he wanted to show. Or he leaves it for the next part. On a Science fiction movie, he added horror supplements, black magics and so on. As a result, the movie has become a mess. In the first half, everyone was watching on the mobile and was waiting for the interval. Because no one understood the story. Starting part of Second half was good. But climax was just a cartoon. I thought I was watching kids fight. Where the audience wanted a lot of action, there were few action scenes which make audience disappointed. But the main problem is this really a Dr. Strange movie? How? I think it's a movie for Wanda. She was shown most of the time in this movie. I know she is so powerful character, the main antagonist. But the director forgot it's a Dr. Strange movie. He made the character of Dr. Strange funny. He was just for comedy. That's all he did in whole movie. I am very much disappointed. It's just a mess.",3 "A step up from WandaVision, and I like the mismatched pair concept, but this show is all over the place; plotting seems to be a real albatross for the small-screen MCU. It starts out fine with a high-flying opening (Falcon in all of his glory), but soon settles into a story grind; six episodes of Sam denying himself the shield when it was a forgone conclusion; the awkward comment on US imperialism named John Walker; there are several other elements at play but they're not handled smoothly - for all that's going on here, this should never feel like a snooze.",6 The whole movie is so boring that I cant help myself from falling asleep. The plot is so predictable and unclear with a confusing Oedipus Complex.,2 I can't understand the high rating this film gets on here. Not a poor film but a very average film. The narrative jumps all over the place with some very poor dialogue. The plot is so easy to predict. Michael Cane an actor I usually rate is a bit over corny as the butler! After the last film what a let down. The main bad guy is quite good and puts in a good menacing performance. Don't believe the hype! Hollywood are you creatively bankrupt?? It's a case of nothing new. Great action shots though. The special effects are good as to be expected with such a large budget. I've got to say this film could of been a whole lot better. It just seems to try and cram in too many individual stories around the main narrative.,5 "I loved the use of the ""one shot"" effect; I remember seeing for the first time in Birdman. The cinematography was amazing and credit to Roger Deakins and his crew but the screen play was really lacking in a lot of places. I never really got pulled into the screenplay; I just knew that the protagonist needed to deliver a message. Overall, a good movie but I felt Sam Mendes could've added a little more to it.",7 "Loki is a cool figure, but I wasn't impressed by Tom Hiddleston in the first episode. But Owen Wilson was a suprise. The first episode is carryed by him.",7 "My Hero Academia is the type of anime that excels in all the things a typical shonen should be. The characters are entertaining and have their own personalities, the action is amazing, it's funny and the powers are super interesting. That being said, it also suffers from your typical fan service, which is unfortunate and ultimately one of it's worse flaws. At it's best My Hero Academia reminds you of the greatest anime you've watched before. There are a few animes you can see served as inspiration (or a little more than that) but most noticeably is Hunter x Hunter as well as some obvious nods at american comic books. That being said it's still worth watching, its entertaining and the art as well as animation are incredibly solid. The villains are interesting and our main heroes are fun and exciting to watch specially when in intense situations (not as much in the school environment).",7 "I've been watching this series since the beginning and now, it's over. I was a teenager when this show started, now I am an adult. The first few episodes i thought it was gonna be boring however it growth every season and it ended with an amazing finale. We have seen all of these characters changing, learning every season with a great plot. Thank you guys for 7 good years.",10 "I agree with another user who says they explained the science behind this tragedy very well, and in a very entertaining fashion I might add. The final episode in the court room is one of the most interesting, informative, and well written pieces of film I've seen. I arrive at an 8/10 because I have to take two points off for pacing. This is only my opinion. One of the storylines in particular (about dogs) dragged on far too long in my opinion. It seemed like nearly an entire episode was dedicated to a fairly basic concept with somewhat shallow characters that added very little for me beyond the initial shock value of it all. My opinion on that aside, this is gripping, dark television at it's finest.",8 "I couldn't make it past the first episode. It was like a badly acted I Love Lucy episode, only without the comedy.",1 "An interesting historical fiction with a good cast. Some of the characters are interesting, although most of them are unrealistic and the story is hilarious at times. The show is well directed and the details are not bad. There are unfortunately a lot of mistakes in the series as far as chess is concerned, which is weird because this should primarily be a series about chess. The story would probably work better as a film, because this way the show seems too long and at times boring. The story itself isn't exciting enough nor are there any big twists, and most of the characters are sadly tedious, wooden, and simply unlikable. The actors aren't bad and the show would have been a lot worse if the actors hadn't done their part well, but unfortunately it can be seen that the script is adapted for today's times. The actors are solid, but the script just isn't good enough to make this show anything more than a nicely polished mediocre entertainment.",5 Too many black characters/actors. This is not master s Witcher world.,5 "Why is everybody murmuring and whispering all the time? It seems to be a characteristc of all movies trying to be ""smart"" and ""deep"": everyone is murmuring . This makes conversations boring and sleep inducing. For the rest, I can't add anything that hasn't been said yet: a few parts are interesing but mostly it's boring and the the ending is ludicrous.",1 "These have got to be the worst writers and casting directors in history. Well done Netflix, another series ruined. They could half fix it now by firing that *insert insult* Lauren Hissrich but they won't. If only HBO had the rights, I'm sure they'd have done a much better job, not having to worry so much about cramming in a character of every race into each scene would no doubt help with the story. I'm a huge fan of the books and the games. I didn't think it would bother me so much it sucking this bad but it really does. How someone can try and turn beloved stories into their own politically correct world view is sick. Make your own stories and try and sell them to Netflix. DONT take one of the best fantasy series and change everything about it to suit your needs. I feel like we've all been robbed of something that could've been special. One can only hope HBO or similar can pick it up at a later date and start over.",1 "Spider-man 1 was good, but this was much better. It had better special effects, visual effects, action and story. It even had more romance. Sam Raimi deliver us one of the best movies in 2004. In this movie Parker have problem being Spider-man an at the same time be a normal person. He get always fired because he is always late to work, he's grades on school gets weaker and he got love problems with Mary Jane Watson. Now he wonder if he really want to be Spider-man or not, and then finally quit as Spider-man. But when a scientist named octavius becomes deformed with tentacles attached to his back, and becomes Dr. Octopuss (Doc Och). Then Peter is forced to be Spider-man to save the world from Dr. Octopuss.",9 "This movie was excellent in most every regard. It felt like I was plunged into yet another chapter of the magical world that Rowling has so successfully and imaginatively created. Her imagination seems to know no bounds. Our main characters move forward, as does the villainous Grindelwald, and more secrets are laid bare. But you really have to see the first episode in order to understand what is going on, as the movie does not do well standing on its own without a reference point. And I have no problem with that because there is no reason to go backward and re-explain everything, and it would take away from the plots and subplots presented. I appreciated how, though it had its dark parts, still it is not as violent as parts of the later Harry Potter films. You can tell what is happening but it is done without the unneeded gore. The only problem I had was Jude Law playing Dumbledore. I am a fan of his other movies, but for me, the Dumbledore I connected with in the Harry Potter films and this one didn't quite come together. Too many of the old wizard's idiosyncrasies seemed to be missing. However, I account this as personal taste only-he did an excellent job in the acting, as usual. Great movie and highly recommended.",6 "I really don't understand how can this movie be funny. Beautifully shot and great actors, but who cares? The basic plot doesn't even make sense. It destroys immersion and sometimes makes you doubt the logic of the script. I even doubt it was made just for the Oscars. I mean it's very similar to Osage County's home theme and slow music etc. I definitely think it's a cheap shot for the Oscars. The depictions of the South and the countryside are meaningless, and I suspect the writers never lived in those areas.",4 "1) the accent is not dhakaiya 2)the vehicles are not ours 3) it looka like people have died long ago due to air polution 4) not everyone in dhaka listens to hindi music,we have our very own music industry 5) why do the whole law inforcement agencies and defence sytem had to work with the villain? as if there is no government in our country fuchka...worse movie! waste of time!",1 "One of the best tv shows I ever seen, I highly recommend it",9 "A 6 just because of being a MCU property and Connecting to MCU stories. Otherwise lazy writing and not worth the hype. Could be watched for excellent acting. P.S. if DC tries anything like this it will be hated by fans and critics, it's all so political.",6 "The Umbrella Academy is the latest Netflix original show, that will hopefully try and fill the void of the Marvel Netflix shows Daredevil, Jessica Jones, The Punisher, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders that were all cancelled. But is it in the same league as the others? No it's not, but that's because The Umbrella Academy is in a league of its own. It's not trying to be a Marvel product. It's not trying to mimic a superhero show/movie. It's not trying to be one more in the neverending formulaic superhero genre. It is different, it is weird, it is strange, it knows all of this and it doesn't care, because it embraces all of that in a true bizarre way. Based on the comic book series of the same name, created by Gerard Way. Yes, the same Gerard Way, lead singer and songwriter of the band My Chemical Romance. While I am not a fan of his music, I have to say I am a fan of this world and the characters that he has created. I will admit that I have not read The Umbrella Academy comic series, but I will probably check it out soon. Thanks to Netflix I was introduced to this strange and super dysfunctional family. However I have read several comics, and while Umbrella Academy is original in it's execution, it does pay a narrative and characteristic homage to some comic series, especially Doom Patrol and X-Men. Now while I cannot get into details of what the tributes are because...SPOILERS, I will say that it did not take away the originality of The Umbrella Academy. It still is very much it's own thing. The show has a lot of interesting plots and subplots with many twists and turns so I will not reveal major plot points. ""In October 1989, 43 women gave birth, none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began."" That right there was enough of a tease to have me intrigued in the show. This line of dialogue is said by the founder of The Umbrella Academy (Sir Reginald Hargreeves) in the trailer of the show and it is where the show begins along with the introduction of the characters. We see two versions of the 7 kids Reginald adopts, we see a past version of them as teenagers and we see a present day version of them as adults. But since this isn't your ""typical"" superhero family, the past and present versions we see or don't see are not what you might expect. The best thing about this show has to be the cast, and I don't just mean the 8 characters above, I mean everybody. From a small supporting character to a lead, this show gave proper character arcs to everyone. The chemistry all the main characters have with each other feels very natural and not to mention hilarious at times. The overall family dynamic is something I truly appreciated along with solid writing of the story. For me however I did feel that the show had some pacing issues, especially with the setting up and exposition of the story and the characters. I found the first few episodes to be quite slow paced with a cyclical reveal at the end of the episode that keeps you intrigued for the next episode. I am glad that I continued to watch the show, because after the ""cliffhanger gimmick"" at the end of the first few episodes, this show took a shape of its own. I was no longer interested in the reveal at the end of the episode, I was invested in the characters and the story, I wanted to know what was going to happen next. My suggestion to those who plan to try out this show, give it time, the first few episodes take some time to find their footing, but once they do it becomes a thoroughly enjoyable ride. In the first episode we find out that all of the brothers and sisters from the academy have gone their own way, but are ""reunited"" when they come to attend a funeral, it is this reunion that sparks the whole show and its wild story. Mary J. Blige and Cameron Britton are two of the shows numerous villains, they play your not so typical assassins. They are such strange characters that you can't help but think how perfectly they fit in this bizarre world. The truly menacing and manipulative villains are beyond them, but I won't get into those details. I will say that the multitude of villains is another aspect of the show I really loved. I mentioned one thing I wasn't a big fan of, which was the initial pacing of the show, apart from that, the only other thing that bothered me was the over use of a soundtrack. I felt in many scenes in practically every episode they just inserted an indie or commercial song when it wasn't required. I would much rather have an original score that elevates the scenes through sound and music. But in the show it felt over enthusiastic and highly unnecessary at times. Some scenes felt like this, ""I need a coffee"" (cue song), ""I have to go meet him for breakfast"" (cue song), ""she is our mom"" (cue song). You might think I'm nitpicking, but honestly I found the overuse of songs a major distraction from the already engaging storyline. The set pieces and on site locations of the show were aesthetically beautiful, from the practical locations of the house and the auditorium to green screens and everything in between. In particular I loved the actual Umbrella Academy. It has this somewhat Victorian interior design with a delicate yet grandiose feel to it. Which really works because even though it is their home, they never felt like any of the physical things around the house or the house itself belonged to them, except perhaps their personal effects in their rooms. The look and feel of the show isn't jarring as it uses a warm but not oversaturated tone that let's the colors pop yet also having the palette reflect the storyline at times by muting the colors. I highly recommend The Umbrella Academy as your next Netflix show, especially if you enjoy superhero, sci-fi/fantasy genres. Rating: I'm giving The Umbrella Academy an 8.5 out of 10. Although the show has some initial growing pains with pacing and an overactive soundtrack, it is a highly enjoyable show carried successfully by it's brilliant cast. Along with a great story that keeps you guessing and a twist to the traditional superhero genre, The Umbrella Academy is a fantastic show that deserves attention and will be well liked by both comic book fans and general viewers alike.",9 "Whoa is me, what a complete dope, a complete bird brain, tweet, tweet. I decided to become a sheep & follow the trail that led me to signing on to Netflix 24hrs before watching Bird Box with Sandra Bullock, John Malkovich, Sarah Paulson (12 Year's a Slave, Desperate Housewives). In addition, Parminder Nagra (Bend It Like Beckham/ER & Pruitt Taylor (Constantine/Gotti) & relatively new kid on the block Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight, The Predator). After hearing in the news media about the stock price of Netflix & the growth of its customer base by millions & investment in Netflix new projects by £30Billion+ in the New Year and beyond. I hadn't bothered to read any reviews prior to setting my aperitif beside me to indulge in 2:04 minutes of entertainment. That is when after the first ten minutes had passed I realized I was hungry so made a snack, continued watching after 30 minutes my phone lit up and I indulged in idle chit chat for a further 20 minutes. A further inordinate amount of time passed, then my wife returned home after a further 15 minutes had passed me by I continued to the very end. The End I think by now you have read all the other reviews, considered well have I got 2:04 minutes free to myself instead of doing something else less boring instead, Why Don't You! Don't be like me and fall for the hype, as like any big ticket sporting event, like erh, boxing, it usually drags on, or after the weigh in and the pre-match histrionics ends with controversy requiring a rematch on a split points decision. Contrivances and cliches abound throughout. The plot is straight forward, but that is when the story leaves you asking, asking & furthermore questions follow leaving you wondering, er why did I just do this! Did I really just watch this well worn trial of utter (xxddf@&:;-) This is one film as other reviewers have stated copies other genres like the past movie models, (not going to repeat them), tv shows like The Dome, The Walking Dead and a litany of other doomsday apocalyptic fodder that have laid waste to time that can never be retrieved. Please sit down and enjoy, yawn. You have been warned. P.S. 4/10 is due to the cast alone & the birds that survived with Bullock, Boy & Girl and....",4 "Amazing, fantastic, great performances and a brillilant motion picture should be only watched on the big screen",10 "They absolutely nailed the dragon scenes and I got goosebumbs when I saw Rhaenyra riding her dragon in the beginning. But the dialogues are just very weak. I could come up with those lines at 2 am in the morning. It kind of feels like a cheat code, where you skip all the small, very needed dialogues, inbetween and skip to the epic scenes with cool music over and over. But that's not how a good story is told. I really like the actors of Otto, Rhaenyra and Daemon and the rest of cast ist great too. But don't expect Storytelling Level of GoT Season 1- 4, it's a mix between Season 5 + 7 in my opinion.",7 Didn't expect such a cinematography and special effects from a bollywood movie. I mean some of the shots looked like from a Arnold's movie. Too good. How's the Josh?..... HIGH.,10 "I haven't read the book, so I don't know the exact story of the novel. But as an audience to the series, I felt that there were definitely some important details being left out in some scenes which eventually left me baffled with lots of questions. I don't know most of the casts here except for Teresa Palmer and Matthew Goode. I've watched enough of their films to know that they are great actor/actress (Especially Teresa Palmer in LIGHTS OUT). However, their love chemistry in this series is lacking. I don't see myself rooting for them just like how I rooted for Edward & Bella in TWILIGHT, Lucifer & Chloe in LUCIFER, or even Elijah & Hayley in THE ORIGINALS. Besides that, 3 creatures in their world, vampires, witches & daemons, they gave elaboration only to vampires & witches. So little is mentioned about daemons in Season 1, and absolutely nothing in Season 2, it's almost like they don't exist at all. And... while they made the vampires sound like they are so so powerful, after seeing how they fight, it was so disappointing, like child's play. At least the witches' magic powers are enchanting, making them look convincingly powerful. But the vampires.... nope. And as for the daemons, like I said, there was nothing about them, so I don't even know what role they play in the story. Season 1 did start out pretty interesting, but eventually it became very very slow and draggy, in the end I found myself not giving 100% attention to the series while watching it. I'll probably still continue to follow their subsequent seasons, but just not as enthusiastic as ""gluing my eyes to the TV"" unless they decide to up their game in the future seasons.",5 "Christopher Nolan thinks a film having long running expository dialogue makes an intelligent film. Nothing Makes Sense here, and when it's explained it just grows so irritating. One Of The Worst Movies Of All Time!",2 "No high intense drama, no arc of trauma, not a fabulous storytelling Great choose of characters, that they are not conventional looking making them more attractive, real, everyday, great idea to connect with the everyday audience member. Similar to an apology to drug abuse and teenage party rituals. Good stuff; the cinematography. Aaron those a great job using natural light. Good composition. Great use of the scenery. Story wise was a bit of a letdown. There's no elevation of anything. Is it better than the average Netflix millionaire productions, by a clear mile yes. I was very connected with the story the first 30 min, after started to fade. I would it had deleted many scenes and add some other ones. I guess there was a bit of over exposure in many of the plot lines but that's the issue that it really tried hard to tell a compelling story but it felt disjointed and broken, (not intended, I believe). Overall not the best scary Aussie film. Still the babadook being the best. With a very compelling and emotional story of trauma.",6 "Marvel has a habit of taking top notch acting talent and then giving them garbage scripts and characters to work with. Occasionally it works, but mostly it doesn't. Mr. Hardy does his best but his character, Eddie Brock is just so 2 dimensional and badly written. Are we to believe a top notch journalist is actually such a loser? Tom is also far too old to play this part, Eddies very many character flaws could be excusable in a 25 year old but not someone clearly in his early 40s. I'm not normally a big fan of CGI extravaganzas with run times of 2 hours plus with only 5 minutes worth of plot. In fairness, Venom is attempting to break that mould but I must admit to feeling a bit cheated. Is that it? Isn't there anything more? No, there isn't....",4 Like the shows great and animation and fights are top tier. But the plot can be dull at times and I understand it's a comedy but even the comedy doesn't hit at times.,8 "It might be rude what am I about to say but in my opinion as a teenager this serial is getting much more attention than it truly deserves ; lots of things didn't make sense; even the ending was predictable it was boring the only advantage that this serial had was the main character Jenna , she was attractive and that's all. Another problem that I have is that Wednesday doesn't need the second season it says all it wants to say and nothing remains hazy unlike 1899 that ended incomplete actually the ending of 1899 was the beginning for another story ... pardon me for the bad grammar by the way 🙏",1 "this movie is an eye opener.....the movie has covered every grass root problems which the country is suffering from......great story writing, directing, and of course acting by each and every cast.....the story ends on a high note and as the same manner as i expected....doesn't done very drastic change for his own village.....just done a simple thing which anyone can do....the main thing is this the movie is totally focused on domestic problems like illiteracy, corruption etc and no other scraps....its not a movie full of actions, sci-fi, and contrasts but it will still motivate you to do something for your own country.....the film keeps you engaging because you know about the facts and affairs of your country....and makes you excited for what would happen next.... SRK again (and how many time) done a fabulous job.....special credit goes to ashutosh gowairker....he makes every one aware about the current scenario of the country.....at least the movie suggest how we can tackle the problems....and if not then what will be our position among the world.... on whole its an excellent movie and every Indian should watch this at least one time..... it deserves 10 on 10....",10 It feels like you are watching a two hours long trailer. It's a disgrace for a director that actually already did a movie before this. I feel that the story and the characters were OK (at least the idea) but everything else is a complete mess. Jumping from past to future to now back to explosions to killing to weird sex scenes without any other info. Could be watchable. Just change the director and try again,2 "And while you are waiting for the end of the movie, so you can get some clue what's going on... You are realising that you lost 2 hours of your life for meaningless movie.",5 "And yeah, u can feel the Disney in there hahaha. For me a perfect match. The cgi is great, the story a perfect fit in the Marvel universe. And the politics are on point. I salute Disney for showing some of America's Black pages and turning the page as we all should come as one world and People. Keep em coming, can't wait for Loki. Thanks for this guys.",9 A boring and ridiculous series whose events are never connected. You will get lost and you follow it. They spent a lot of money on nothing.,1 One of the better marvel movies! They balance the characters so well and you really see development of everyone considering the sheer amount of main characters there are. The Russo brothers are truly unmatched!,9 "Huge disappointment... I was excited to see this, I love super heroes movies such as Spiderman, Iron Man, Batman, X men, watchmen etc... But Thor is a failure to me. Maybe I just don't like the Thor universe. It's too super natural to me, too far fetched, the magic, the portal etc... I was well into the movie for a while, I mean there is a lot of humor and that's a big plus. The graphics are also very cool. But I felt like nothing was really new in here. The scenario just took stuff from other movies and integrated it. The big guardian robot is just a copy of the one from The day the Earth stood still from 1951. The scene where the gov. takes away the working materials belonging to Nathalie Portman has been seen and re-seen. The hammer stuck in the ground is just as in Excalibur... Also, there is a lack of credibility. For example, when Thor on earth is released from the CIA (or whatever it is) thanks to a crappy story told to the agents by the Professor after beating the xxx out of 50 federal agents and breaking into the protected area. I mean you cant go more unrealistic. I felt the director tried to fool with me special effects and a few jokes thinking I would not see the rest. Btw I saw it in IMAX 3d. The 3d is very bad and not worth it at all.",2 "i can't help myself... i stopped smoking long ago... i know it is bad for you, me and everyone around you or me, but every time somehow when the final of a 24 season comes around i can't control myself. season 8 was a highlight of television history... again and yes... i did it again. how can these people make 24 hours make so short ??? i mean... it's 24 hours... o.k. take out the commercials and you loose 2 house or maybe 3, but anyway... it's amazing. if time would pass so fast during work, i would be home in a jiffy... the only thing i can think right now, is... you can't let jack die... not even in the upcoming movie... my perfect ending is the rambo-ending... make a movie and at the end blend in "" 40 years later""... then show him sitting on a farm... peacefully with horses and cattle. this way you don't kill this hero, but still have the chance to put out a season in a couple of years or maybe not. but after everything WE and HIM went thru, you just can kill him. after watching season 8 i will need some days to get back to normal again... it was just to nervewracking... and i promise i will quit someking again as soon as i get ahold of myself again... till the movie... at least that is what i promise my wife, and i manged it after every season finale... at least till the next finale came up.",10 "Captain America: Civil War is Marvel's best movie yet and blows you away with a great story, humor and solid performances from Chris Evans, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman and Robert Downey Jr. The movie has faults such as limited development for some characters and some forced things in the plot but the positives simply outweigh the negatives by a large margin. Tom Holland gives us an amazing Spider Man that I look forward to seeing more of in the MCU and the plot gives us some valid points to Stark and Captain America's side which adds a flavor to the movie t. Characters such as Black Panther, Black Widow, Falcon and Wanda Maximoff are emotionally torn apart between Stark and Steve Roger's sides. This is the best movie so far of 2016 and the second best superhero movie behind The Dark Knight. I look forward to seeing more of the MCU and their upcoming projects in the years to come.",8 "It is not uncommon to hire people to write reviews on social networks that should appear to be by independent contributors. That's why i had to laugh when i saw The Shawshank Redemption being the best rated movie on IMDb. But since there would be little sense in making such an effort to generate more than a million votes and almost three thousand reviews for a movie made in 1994 i assume this is genuine. In any case, based on Stephen King's novella, The Shawshank Redemption was an alright prison movie to watch. However, it displays what i see as typical for King's work. When he's writing science fiction, fantasy or horror it all sits well. But when he writes anything that should mirror reality it simply feels fake in the same way as wearing a cotton shirt and the one made of synthetics feels different. The events might have been based on actual events, but i haven't been convinced. Obviously when you make any kind of list, there will always be a first place. On IMDb it is currently being taken by The Shawshank Redemption.",5 "Rock legend Cooper discover Gaga singing La Vie en Rose in a drag bar and takes her under his wing and to his bed. The film charts her rise to power and his descent from it as he increases his drink and drug intake. The performances are a worthy note all around, particularly Gaga, and Elliott who has rarely been better. The story is not new - of course - and prequel knowledge aside, is predictable and whilst Cooper gives a solid turn, his endless mumbling and almost one tone character does become a bit of drag and in turn impacts the emotional resonance which doesn't always land. So a well crafted piece but unoriginal and ultimately somewhat overrated.",5 "I did not expect this to be great or even good, but it did surprise me with regards to the ways in which it was bad. First and foremost, it was painful to watch Oscar Isaac struggle with a British accent. I always thought of him as a decent actors, but he was so clearly uncomfortable trying to affect the accent that is made me uncomfortable. Next, of course, was the very lackluster story development, which seems to be Disney's signature these days. Compounding that was the very poor dialogue; even the casual banter was awkward and stilted. Alas, the other problem was treatment of the hero. The insistence on denigrating certain people and exalting others based purely on immutable traits like gender, race, and sexuality is impossible to ignore. Ironically, it also has the opposite of its intended effect. That is to say, the fact that the writers are trying to hard to shoehorn in certain ideologies is painful obvious and therefore rings false. Consequently, instead of liking the characters you are being pushed to idolize, you end up disliking them, in this case, intensely. One thing that saves a lot of Disney's Marvel offerings was absent from Moon Knight, humor. The comedic elements that typically make these increasingly generic superhero shows somewhat tolerable was almost non-existent in this show. Certainly attempts were made to inject mirth, but they failed, which in turn made watching this a very joyless experience. In the end, all that was left to recommend Moon Knight were the sets and costumes. Disney does not skimp when it comes to the look of its shows and films, so you do get visual interest. Still, if I want to look at something pretty, I'd rather spend my time at an art museum where the creations have something Moon Knight sorely lacks: soul. This latest Marvel series is simply devoid of anything remotely inspiring, which makes for a very sad viewing experience.",3 "I think the only way to survive this movie is by getting drunk prior to watching it.It's slow, over-dramatic ( which is OK in a b-movie or if the ingredients had been mixed up properly ), boring and so-on. I don't think you are supposed to sympathies with the villain in these kind of movies, but Spiderman is simply too much of a loser to feel for. Consequently, I cannot believe the ratings for this movie. It's got little or no humour (kind of essential I'd think ), bad acting ( or is that on purpose? ) and a lousy script. Perhaps I'm missing the point and it's actually wickedly funny and has all the marks of a classic, but somehow I don't think so.I did enjoy Spiderman 1 for what it was worth: a straightforward action movie, but that's not enough to save this one.I have come to rely on the ratings from IMDb.com however, this surely must be one of the worst blockbusters ever. It would do well in a b-movie marathon though...",2 "The fantasy story here is good but the directors, showrunners or whoever else decides on the direction of the episodes is doing an atrocious job and should be sacked before making another series, although I can easily see this show being cancelled. The constant flashbacks and varying timelines are incredibly confusing and you never get an indication on screen as to which timeline you are watching so it takes ages to work out what is going on when you keep seeing characters who died several episodes earlier. I don't know if they are assuming that all viewers are familiar with the storybooks and video games but they shouldn't. They should forget that and concentrate on the show itself and make it accessible to everyone and play out the story chronologically so it actually makes sense.",7 "It's hard to believe that this is the highest grossing movie of all time. It's not even that good of a Marvel movie. I understand that this is based on a comic book characters but damn! The fact that this movie is so successful is pretty much the reason why Hollywood thinks they can get away making movies that aren't all that well thought out but look cool. The first hour was downright painful to get through and if they had taken out a lot of the unnecessary crap, this movie easily could have been 2 hours long.",2 "We seen the movie recently and thought it was like one of those movies, once seen is pretty much enough. Everything about it look nice and okay and professionally produced. But the storyline is not original for sure and has many cliches to the point of boredom. Bradley Cooper is capable of fine acting but certainly not Lady Gaga who is ordinary looking at best even with professional makeup. It did not really bother me at first but her acting was mediocre compared to the original actors. Not only me, but the whole lot of us felt pretty much the same in fact that the movie was the most over hyped in 2018.",2 "What's everyone raving about? It is clear as day to me that this is a satisfactory movie at best and a dull movie at worst. It is not a great movie or even a very good movie. I realize I'm in the minority, but this movie was basically a remake of Flash Gordon (1980) combined with the Power Rangers movie with a few added clichés from Star Wars. While they were playing those 70s hits, I kept hoping for Queen to sing ""Flash! Agh! Savior of the universe!"" That would have actually been funny. It's a mess story-wise. It doesn't define it's world; if anything can happen for any reason (or no reason), then nothing's compelling or suspenseful. Action sequences are indecipherable in terms of cause and effect. I kept thinking I should be caring more. Like when the sisters were fighting. There seems to be some history there that made the fight meaningful, but it didn't register. The villain, a ripoff of the Emperor, Skeletor, and Ming, isn't interesting in the least. His motivations are never firmly established.",4 "Netflix's murder mystery, starring Adam sandler and Jennifer Aniston is a mysterious, comedic, romance. Nick spitz ( Adam sandler) and his wife Audrey spitz (Jennifer Aniston) both live happily in New York City until for their anniversary they decide to take a trip to Europe where they get tangled into a wealthy family's murder crisis. While the cliche who's the murderer is the basic storyline for the film it is made funny by a great comedy duo, with many laughs and a great cast this film may not be a amazing one, but it sure has you on the edge of your seat wanting more!",6 "Another unfunny comedy superhero film from marvel. 30 year old men who never grew up love this. Everyone else is bored of watching the same film over and over. None of these films ever end, they're all just a set up for the next one and they all have the same lame, weightless CGI and the same lame jokes. If this review upsets you, you should take your captain America poster down and move out of your parents house. That avengers t-shirt doesn't fit you properly.",2 """Zankyou No Terror"" is a much watch series. If I were to compare it to another series, I would say that the storyline somewhat resembles that of ""Money Heist,"" while the character's have a somewhat ""Deathnote"" vibe. The main characters are anti-heroes whose actions are left to be judged by the viewers. However, the viewer is left wondering about the governments actions and it can be said that there are some political connotations in the story. The story is simple yet elegant, keeping up suspense that intrigues the viewer. The animation and voice acting is also pretty solid, while the soundtrack is amongst my favorites. On the downside, the series felt a bit rushed in the last 3-4 episodes and the few instances of English voice acting (not to be confused with the English dub which I haven't seen) was terrible. All in all, ""Zankyou no Terror"" is brilliant and a must watch for everyone, including non-anime fans.",8 "The Godfather: Part II is a story of how an empire falls. In this case, a criminal empire. It's acting and dialogue are of the same caliber of the first movie and the story is even better. The characters lose in this movie, there's a sense of dread and looming destruction in this movie. Combined with the rise of Vito Corleone, the Fall of Micheal Corleone feels like the end of this story. The Godfather: Part II is a brilliant movie and should be seen by anybody who loves film.",10 "In comparison, Spider-Man 2 is better than Spidey 3. Why? because my dear Spidey fans and casual movie lovers, Spider-Man 2 has a better script, better character development, suspense, humor and great action sequences; something that Spidey 3 DOESN'T HAVE!!! Spider-Man 3 was so bogged down that it sputtered like a car that ran out of gasoline at the last (and worst) time of the day. If the producers and the director would've sticked to the same formula that made the first two films so great in the third installment, it would've been SO much better. Sadly that wasn't the case. Spider-Man 2.1 with all the extra bells and whistles easily trumps Spidey 3. Get this instead of waiting for part 3. You won't be disappointed.",9 Pls duffer brothers now stop this story......in every season you extend it to and then when it is about to end ........that scary bgm and wait for next season Literally i am telling the plot of hoppers story and dustinbun was interesting rest all was like boring !!!,6 "I could not watch the movie in one session, the art concept give me headache. Please, do not repeat this art concept. There are another problems in the movie, other boring stuff was words like ""BOING"" appearing when someone punch the enemy. Please, don't! Stop with these stupid ideas!! The movie could be delightful with an appropriate art was used.",6 "You need to watch Gallipoli (1981) first to appreciate how incredibly BETTER the Mel Gibson flick was than this one. Under the guise of a drama Sam Mendes has actually concocted a lecture. I understand why film-buffs have marked this one up - because of the complete lack of other good movies. I did not appreciate all the ""wokemon"" stuff. For me it marred what could have been a regular, good war movie.",5 "This is a great show if you're looking for adult themes with a light hearted kick. With 8 episodes of 20 minutes the show can be enjoyed in a single sitting which I recommend for better immersion. However, I personally found Alyssa to be a very annoying character mainly due to her voice being insufferable. Nevertheless, it's worth a watch if you want something a bit different.",6 "Bored 1/4 into episode 2. What is up with every scene being so dark and blue tinted??? I can barely make out faces half the time. And PROFESSIONALS, torturing a poor truck driver, that if they did their research would CLEARLY show he is not #5? Pathetic. Put torture crap in a movie and you lose me. None of the characters seem to really like each other, no sibling bond, just BULK man wants to shag the movie star. They all hate one ""sister"" over a book. I cannot literally remember a single character name, but one is latino I remember at the most. I think mom is a robot. So you got crazy drug addict, One I THINK an ex- cop who is butting in on the investigation one of the # kids? That is how bland they are, I forget their faces, too. One an astronaut, , the actress, violinist, time travel kid, who is 7? The kid who ""wasn't special""? (I assume later she will be). Anyway, too boring to bother to find out, cuz I simply don't care. And therein lies the problem with this show.",3 "If this movie weren't about the trendy topic of homosexuality, everyone would have noticed just how dreadful it is. The characters, with the exception of Denzel Washington's, are one-dimensional and cardboard. The performances, with the exception of Washington's and Tom Hanks's, are cartoonish and heavy-handed. This is a piece of leaden propaganda--I would call it ""obvious"" propaganda, but it seems to have fooled most of the critics. Don't let it fool you.",2 "Another good step in the right direction for video game adaptations, but also another step back. I'm not familiar with the Witcher, the games or the books, but it's a pretty interesting world they've created. There's great fight choreography, good drama and acting and some pretty darn good production design. Henry Cavill is actually pretty good as Geralt. I'm happy Netflix is really throwing more money into quality TV shows. More fantasy series need to be made like this and Dark Crystal. The problem with the show is the timeline and the linear story of events made my brain go haywire. I just couldn't figure it out for the longest time and it was driving me nuts. If the story was straightforward and chronological, then it would have been much better. Events jump in time all over the place and that's the kind of thing that just takes me out of the series. There's also a lot of terms and plots to keep track of, and it's more hard to do with such weird names and characters. Dark Crystal, while having way more characters, is much simpler to follow. The show is kind of a weird intro to the world, especially if you're not familiar with it, and it seems like it was created without considering people who don't know The Witcher universe. It's a good adaptation of a video game, one of the better ones we've been getting, but it also has a ways to go to improve. Like Detective Pikachu and Castlevania, we're getting more game adaptations that are getting better and better. So far the best has been Castlevania. I'd see more Witcher, but let's get that story to be cohesive this time, and that way we can enjoy a decent fantasy series without interruption.",2 "3 hours of senseless drivel... That is what I sat through when I watched Interstellar. The acting wasn't anything special, but the SCREENPLAY... It had to be among the worst three that I have ever sat through. In fact, I was close to walking out of it, had it not been for the laughing! In a sci-fi film like this, the expected reaction was far from the real one. Instead of a gripping, edge-of-your-seat effect, the screenplay and plot holes were so ridiculously bad, that myself and a few other cinema-goers were in stitches laughing! Like Prometheus (but somehow worse), this film had the adverse effect of inducing laughter in anybody who wasn't blinded by the interplanetary special effects. In almost all sci-fi films, there is an enormous twist in the plot or story that will strive to inspire a gasp in viewers. Some rare films have this effect with an excellently crafted twist... Not this time. The 'twist' in this film was, again, so extraordinarily awful, badly thought-out and far-fetched (don't get me wrong- these films have the right to go more far-fetched than any film has travelled before, but this one was just plain BAD), I had to shout out 'come ON!' when the credits began to roll (inspiring a few more laughs there from viewers in agreement). Even here, at at the end, there were still unanswered questions that were TO BE SOLVED at some point in the course of the film. With its mediocre acting, awful plot, vexingly atrocious 'twist', underdeveloped characters (entrusting a save-the-human-race mission to a semi-random trespasser - hellooo???) and boring disposition throughout, save your money and head to something - anything - else!",1 "RATED 7/10 Language: English Source: Netflix This is good murder mystery and the investigation is also OK. But the entertainment and the WOW factor in the first half is missing in this one. The investigation details are so minute and the excitement also got truncated because of this. The cast is good and the ambience set for the murder also good. But the characters and the first part template is not gelled with the above. I can feel that disjoint in story and the mystery clearly. The movie is too slow for the character introduction and setting up the premise. Once the revelation started in the second half, then only the he pace and interest picks up.",7 "The acting felt off . The movie felt awkward, boring and long, and I only watched 5 minutes. Then went back to watch another 5 that's all I could sit threw. The characters didn't drawn me in and the plot... what was even the plot.?? Forgettable movie..",2 "Ok, they make you write six hundred characters which is ridiculous so bare with me. But if you want real reviews it's what you must deal with If you are watching house of the dragon you more than likely were a game of thrones fan. I agree with others that there is no comparison. It's as if since Covid they forgot what GOT was about or how to continue making the hit we grew to love. Agree with others this seemed rushed, almost as if let's get through this we are not making any more. At least it is what it seems. The young characters were terrific and it started like ok, then like WTF happened. It really has been rushed. It could have been much better and drags along way to much. With only a couple of episodes with war, fighting and dragon's lol. If they spent as much time and detail and building characters and telling the story as they did playing with sand model it would be better lol. Daemon character should have played much bigger roll. I mean seriously, the guy would have just crushed his brother lol, who apparently can't command or fly dragons lol. It is worth watching but if you go in expecting the same standard as GOT you will be disappointed. Bring more fighting, more dragons, sex, rock n roll yada yada. When you hear that iconic opening music you have expectations. Hopefully it will renew and they will get their act, pun intended, together.",5 "It was not the worst QT movie I've ever seen, it was the worst movie period, I've ever seen. I would not even recommend watching this movie for free on cable.",5 "It could have been fun. The main idea - all people are really bad. Even comically bad and stupid. And with technology they become even more evil and stupid. This is so primitive. But even this could have been executed in much better ways. It becomes stale so fast. ""Okay, lets watch some black mirror. In what other way I am going to be told the same thing?"" And because of this strange ""agenda"", every episode becomes more and more bizarre. Even funny in a bad way. And really-really boring.",2 "A simple story of a NASA engineer discovering his roots. And his life transformation narrated in a way that stirs your soul. The experiences that the protagonist goes through and the journey the audience takes with him is a must see for any connoisseur of classic Indian cinema. I would rate Swades as Ashutosh Gowarikar's best work. And definitely SRK's best performance till date. If I look back and see. The movie had a great story. Screenplay that was brilliant. Ashutosh's direction was perfect. And SRK definitely stood tall in a restrained yet poignant portrayal of Mohan Bhargava. His best performance till date, yet underrated. Kishori Ballal remains etched in your memory as Kaveri amma. Gayatri Joshi is perfectly cast. Sadly she didn't appear in any movie after Swades, atleast nothing notable. An untapped potential. All other actors leave a mark. Why did it underperform at BO? It came out in 2004. 3 years after the magnum opus Lagaan. There were bound to be comparisons. Both stories had the underlying love for motherland as theme. But were completely in stark contrast in their content. Lagaan, set in British era, was more of a fight about the protagonist and his village's honor. It had a bad guy, his evil intentions and then protagonist and his ideals. A classic underdog story. David vs Goliath. And we love those stories for sure :) Swades on the other hand was more about an individual discovering his roots. His inner journey and conflicts. His choice of leaving a comfortable and cozy life to be with his people. It's a simple story minus the melodrama. But so effectively told that it just wins you over. I think it was the expectations that audience had from Swades that made it underperform. Please do not miss this gem of a movie",10 "Lauren Schmidt Hissrich probably decided that she was a talented writer. I hasten to disappoint her, she is an ordinary graphomaniac. If the first season was just bad, but at least based on books, then the second season has nothing to do with books. It seems to me that the directors are looking at the book and cannot put words into sentences, let alone understand the meaning of what is written. I sincerely do not understand who those people are who liked this slag, that they are ready to throw money into the TV with shouts of ""more""",1 "I am serious when I say that Swades is the most thought provoking movie of the decade. No movie can affect an Indian as much as this movie does. Even the songs ""Yeh Tara Woh Tara"" and ""Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera"" are thoughtful and are excellent songs with very deep meanings. There are few scenes in a movie that would affect someone as much as the scene wherein SRK talks about the things wrong with India. You should not miss this movie. Gayatri Joshi does a good job for a newcomer. Her costumes are very well designed and a very good character role essayed beautifully. The village setting is very realistic and the scene when SRK goes to collect rent from the tenant of Gayatri Joshi. In short an amazing and a realistic movie worth watching.",10 "I found it extremely irritating and annoing that these two experienced climbers acted like complete idiots. There were at least two ways they could have used their rope to get down from the tower. It requires superhuman strength to pull up someone hanging at the end of a rope, it is almost impossible, but not in this movie. Why did they not think about descending the tower with the rope wrapped around the circular tower itself, just like humans have been climbing trees for centuries? Why not tie the rope at the bottom of the ladder insted of the base of the platform? The rope would have reached all the way town to the dishes. Too many stupidities destroyed this movie for me.",2 "As ""Iron Man 2"" opens, Tony Stark, the wunderkind head of Stark Industries, has just revealed to the world at large that it is indeed he lurking inside the metallic suit of the planet's latest crime-fighting superhero. But such a public admission comes with a steep price. For now the United States government wants him to register himself as a deadly weapon; a rival defense contractor (Sam Rockwell) is determined to beat Stark at his own game by creating his own army of iron-clad warriors; and an arch-nemesis (Mickey Rourke) from the former Soviet Union has suddenly appeared on the scene in his own superhero getup to destroy Stark in a mano-a-mano battle on the streets of Monaco. As a piece of pure Saturday-matinée popcorn entertainment, ""Iron Man 2,"" directed by Jon Favreau, is, perhaps predictably, a notch or two below its dazzling 2008 predecessor. However, the sequel still has enough quality elements – most of them holdovers from the first film – to recommend seeing it: namely, Robert Downey Jr. as the wisecracking, hard-living but lovable boy genius, Stark; Gwyneth Paltrow as his endearing personal assistant, now CEO of Stark Industries, Pepper Potts; and enough funny one-liners to take the edge off of some – though not all - of the script's numerous plot contrivances. As with the previous film, Downey Jr. and Paltrow achieve a wonderful love/hate chemistry between them, and the cast has been expanded to include Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson (who had an uncredited role in the first one), and Kate Mara as well. The screenplay by Justin Theroux makes at least one right choice by having Stark becoming ever more gravely ill as a result of the chemical he has to keep pumping into his chest to survive in his semi-cybernetic condition. This has the effect of humanizing the character, making him destructible and vulnerable and, thus, someone whose fate we can come to care deeply about. And, needless to say, Downey Jr.'s smart, savvy performance is equally instrumental in helping us to connect with the character. The special effects and actions scenes are impressive, of course, but it is Downey Jr. and Paltrow who once again make the movie soar.",6 "Tom Hardy in Venom 2 is merely a familiar face and name; Completely devoid of any noticeable role-playing. Venom 2 is not a work that can even once evoke a significant feeling in the audience through storytelling. But after watching it, you can not upset the members of the construction team; Even though they have pocketed a lot of money. Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson are respected actors, and Michelle Williams is a serious artist with several enduring cinematic dramas in her repertoire. How bitter that these people must come down to their name and face; Objects that are sometimes in front of the camera and sometimes on the poster for people to come to the cinemas, and none of the work done by them during the minutes of this film should be called acting.",7 "I will not engage on the historical fallacies of the movie, in spite of being Canadian. There's enough about that already. In fact, all of this polemics hides the fight that it's a pretty average movie right there. Sure, it was well-directed, well-acted, well-shot etc - you know, Hollywood at its best, but the history had no twist, and the suspense (represented by the apparation of women dressed in black) was minimal. It wasn't stylish and reeked of Islamophobia. In fact, the ""Argo"" movie they used as a pretext looked miles more interesting. Now that's a movie I would want to see. And yes, there's a couple of nice scenes here and there, but this could easily have been a direct-to-TV film - I just don't see what the hype is about. It won Oscars? Seriously?",6 "After the infinity saga, it seemed that Marvel did not know how and where to move, and stuffed some incomprehensible TV-shows like VandaVision and the Falcon and the Winter Soldier, where there were millions of theories, but in the end nothing global and interesting happened on the screen. But what about Loki? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!! A story where the infinity stones are just garbage, where everything that happened before is just a worthless truth of only one reality. Tom Hiddleston is simply gorgeous and the work on mistakes is visible, the script is at the highest level, although there are small shortcomings, but what you will see will simply close these gaps. If you read comics as a child and dreamed of a multiverse, then it is already here. Loki is gorgeous and drags Marvel into a new era!",8 "This is one of the slowest movies I have ever seen and there is no story at all. It felt like a docu crew following around 1 soldier, but there is no narrative, no thread that ties it all together. It has superb acting, cinematography, editing, sound, etc., etc...but no story. No plot. No narrative structure. No character arcs. Maybe it's a metaphor for the futility of war and life...but how can you make a movie without a story? And how can a SLOW movie with no story win Best Picture?? I watched this with VidAngel.",2 "It is worth watching though not more than once. The story is modern exorcism spiced with the lives of a bunch of teenagers who tend to rebel. The story begins with a shocking scene followed by an intriguing storyline. Though I myself am not a big fan of slasher horror movies, the brutal scenes are quite bearable. The exorcism scenes aren't scary at all but can be considered creepy to some extent. To put it in another words it definitely lacks the scare factor. Comparing with other horror movies released in 2023 such as Cobweb and the last voyage of demeter, it's just a one-time-playable entertainment.",6 "I originally thought to skip it given the topic. How can it be anything but cheesy? I read the inane reviews here complaining about subtitles and changed my mind. If an American family movie has the guts to use all subtitles for historical realism, I owe it at least a viewing. Alpha exceeeded my expectations. The costumes were too modern but became immersive after they got dirty. The dialogue was simple and honest, not hokey at all. The CGI and some gaping plot holes made it just an above average movie. The story will appeal to adults and children alike. Highly recommend a viewing if you are at least semi-literate.",6 "... but dafuqdidijustwatch.jpg How boring can we make it? Yes! It's not funny or original in my opinion, it's just annoying. Maybe it gets better later, but I already wasted 3 episodes of my life now.",1 "Third season is not as emotionally moving as the first two. Third season just completely forgets Hannah. I know she's gone, but to be mentioned only once in the first 3 episodes of season 3 seems wrong. Even more wrong is these stupid students not telling anyone responsible things that should be passed on - the tapes, Tyler's guns, etc. Their bad decisions just makes everything worse.",6 "A simple plot with no conclusion A movie with filler writing , less dialogs A boring movie thatz it...",4 "Watched 40 minutes of it, couldn't watch the rest. I guess if you're taking your kids to the movie its alright, but for me, as a grown adult, I found it too silly.",4 "How in God's name this got an Oscar is beyond me. Starts very well as a concept and even holds ones attention for the first hour. After that it becomes simply daft and corny. In fact it becomes pure Kari On. Definitely a big mistake to throw Oscars at it, I'd throw Soy Sauce. Give it a miss.",2 "A Beautiful Mind reveals only glimpses of the dark story beneath its sunny imagery, but the performances carry enough weight for it to stand for something.",7 "Things make sense. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Not only do the ""Supes"" have powers, they also have the media behind them. Supes, are big business! Advertising, movies, products. This mirrors my own experience and observations in life. I live in Syracuse Ny. Where everybody in the antiques business knew an auctioneer was wasn't paying consignors for years! But he was spending a lot of advertising money. So you never heard a peep out of TV, radio or the Newspaper. Instead he was constantly proclaimed as honest, integrity, the best one to deal with. When he ran out of money, suddenly he was vilified by all three! The same thing happened with a Mall, and a Mayor, and a big car dealership. Most people knew they were crooks, somehow the news sources were play three blind mice as long as the checks cleared. And that's just in my small community. This kind getting away with things because the money is good happens all over. Not only getting away with it, but having it reversed on the victims, it was somehow their fault. Like in the very first episode. But enough preaching about not believing things like these guys must be the best lawyers to hire because they're on TV the most. (it actually means they're looking to settle your case five minutes after you hire them with the least amount of work) The dialogue is probably the best on TV right now. They define what motivates each character. They writing is superb. This IS what would happen if 250 super powered beings were running around with nothing to check their activities and hold them accountable. Very few would really be heroes. Actually out helping and saving people.",9 "I've always been a fan of The Boys, having read the graphic novels by Garth Ennis multiple times. The series is great but way softer than the crude graphic novel work with the story line being more like an adaptation rather than a TV screen transfer. Still enjoyable though",9 "I want to like it so much but nearly every scene is plagued by poor writing and amateurish directing. Clearly cavil is doing fine but 1 man can't carry the whole show. I don't even think the main characters in the two respective shows are good; it's all crap to me. I also think that the whole ""bad ass chick"" shtick is so eye-rolling, tiring, and just not believable. This usually happens in stories and cinema where the people behind them are really passionate about their feminism; people can be as passionate about it as they want, whatever, but writing female characters that are totally stripped of their femininity because it's considered ""sexist"" and just told to play these one-note ""bad asses"" is the result of that. Basically, they seem to confuse character weaknesses and/or feminine traits to be negative gender stereotypes. I think they also miscast these characters as well, as they usually try to get young (or older sometimes) hotties to play roles that are supposed to inspire some combination of fear, authority, respect or so on.",2 "No American filmmaker has had a more disappointing trajectory to his film career than Francis Ford Coppola. To have directed four of the most influential films of the 70's (the first two ""Godfather"" films, ""The Conversation,"" and ""Apocalypse Now"") and then to spend the last two decades churning out one stinky product after another (""Peggy Sue Got Married,"" ""Bram Stoker's Dracula"", the third ""Godfather"") earns Coppola my award for Most Promising Director Who Most Miserably Failed at Establishing Himself as an Important Figure of American Cinema. But before ""Jack"" there was ""The Godfather."" While I feel the whole ""Godfather"" trilogy has been lauded into oblivion and is somewhat overrated, who am I to argue with the majority? People think these are great movies, and they've certainly implanted themselves permanently in our cultural consciousness. And don't get me wrong: these films have moments of greatness (at least the first two installments do). But I think ""The Conversation"" and ""Apocalypse Now"" are ultimately more interesting films, and I think Coppola stretched himself more artistically in those two films than he did in the entire ""Godfather"" trilogy combined. Of the trilogy, the first film is by far the best. It shows Coppola's flair for being able to craft a story with extreme mainstream appeal while staying faithful to his artistic vision. ""The Godfather"" doesn't look or sound quite like any gangster film before it, with it's muddy lighting and sound. It's also much more ambiguous morally than the usual Hollywood gangster film, at least any produced up to that point. The line between crime and justice is blurred sometimes beyond distinction, and the Corleone family at times acts with more honor (in its own way) than the institutions charged with upholding freedom, justice and morality. In this way, ""The Godfather"" offered a scathing critique of the foundations on which America as a country was built. Coppola, however, drives this point into the ground over the course of three films. There's really not much more to say after the first film (it's already apparent that Michael Corleone's style of rule is different from his father's, his coldness and ruthlessness necessitated by a changing time), but we have to sit through a nearly 3 1/2 hour second installment that does nothing but reiterate this point again and again. Part II at least is saved by the back story of Vito Corleone (played by Marlon Brando in Part I and Robert De Niro in Part II), and that story alone keeps Part II afloat. But Part III is wholly unnecessary and mars the whole enterprise, turning the franchise into the stuff of parody and camp. Al Pacino is the glue that holds the trilogy together, though his character really isn't as complex as a first viewing would have you believe. The major conflict facing him is resolved in the first film, and the second and third films give him nothing to do but replay what are essentially the same scenes over and over again. Other standouts in the cast include Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton and Talia Shire (who alone makes the third chapter worth watching). Obviously a must see for cinema buffs, or even casual fans, but don't feel you have to label this trilogy as great just because of the reputation that precedes it. Grade: Part I: A Part II: B Part III: C-",7 "It started so well, I gave it 9 stars but then, after episode 5, I am done with it. It got so boring and so confusing I don't care any more what is going on in these series, too much talking about nothing. I don't have time or patience for this nonsense and pointless fillers. Bye bye...",1 It's was a good one-time watch movie far better then recent Spider-Man movies(Homecoming).i enjoyed all part of it especially excited to see they can bring up In future.,6 "If this movie was fantasy, or set in another universe, or science and realism were just brushed to the side, I could enjoy it. But it's not. It's a movie that depends on its realism, focuses on it, and utterly fails at it. First, high school physics. From the basic premise, to the minute to minute action, to the conclusion, this movie depends on physics. And one thing this movie fails at completely, is physics. Both the initiating event and the final heroic sacrifice are completely unsupportable and end up being annoying and distracting rather than emotional because of it. The movie also fails at the geography of space, putting objects thousands of miles away within spitting distance; in fact the initial premise of the movie depends on this failed geography, two objects thousands of miles away from each other being in exactly the same orbit. And then they set up the main character as a nearly untrained, emotionally disturbed woman without any special skills. There is never a convincing reason given for her being there. The qualifications for being a fully mission integrated astronaut are exacting, and the only way I can see anyone getting around them would be as a PR stunt, or if someone was a top level expert who would be valuable to the mission in some special way. So far as we can tell, she's not a PR stunt, and she's not a mission critical expert. She's just there. And after sticking her there for no apparent reason, the movie depends on her inexperience and lack of training to add tension and advance the story. It's ridiculous. I find it completely impossible to take the movie seriously, when it seems every plot point turns on something unbelievably unrealistic. The high budget, a-list actors, and high quality special effects make it watchable... but nothing could make it enjoyable.",4 "People on tiktok got crazy over this series and the dance, you know what i mean. But really? What this show got excepted all the trends on social media. It's not that bad but it's not that good either. I think it is too cringy that in every movie, the main character always gets the superpower of controlling everything and cracking everything. I know people like the mystic theme like Harry Potter and all the stuffs. At least Harry Potter has some interesting and really creative stuffs going on there, while the only things Wednesday has is a old damn plot with the main character acted like a disrespectful maniac. Well the shows does attract me to stick with it until the end, but it failed to leave something stained in my brain.",7 Wow Wow Wow! after a long time something fresh in action list and I'm happy and stunned to see How Randeep Hooda played the character of Suja he was beyond my expectations. He is following the same path of Aamir Khan and Irfan Khan (late) as live the character you're playing and change your look as per character demand.,7 "This is very similar to Matrix. Just like in that movie, in this movie too, there is too much complicated, unknown, unsolved, difficult, unpredictable stuff. Just like Matrix, you have to rewatch this movie at least once more to understand it. And coupled with length of over 2 hours, that makes watching this movie very demanding and energy intensive. Only people who have much time and science and math should watch it. Most people, probably like me, will not have enough time and do not like complicated stuff. It's probably more than that, meaning not only complicated, but unexplained. Nothing to figure out really, but leave it mysterious and unknown as it is. I also did not like it for it length, I prefer shorter movies, so one less rating star there. What I did like is that this movie is very emotional, positive enough, and has good ending. There are feelings of hope, love, faith, salvation. Although most of movie is abnormal, filled with weird physical laws and happenings, it is normal enough at the beginning and ending. Comparable to real life dreaming. That makes it look real. But considering that most of movie is filled with unreal part which is middle, it is not good enough. I think reality part should have lasted more, and there is missing explanation, details, and even ending is mysterious unfinished, although positive feeling.",7 "I always look at a movie review from a narrow point of view. Did it make me believe and did it take me away. This one was close enough to yes to both questions. I know there is argument about the accents, but it was for an English speaking audience and it did make me believe (unlike Margot). The story felt confusing but not to the point of getting lost. Great period sets and I love when movies sell themselves on cleverness instead of technology. JL has some serious acting chops and a couple of things really surprised me. I think one was a huge push back regarding her stolen pictures some years ago and she did it in style (watch the movie to see what I mean). She carried the movie exceptionally well and could easily have dropped the ball, she didn't. It would have got a higher score from me if it wasn't trying a little too hard to be clever and the characters hadn't made some questionable decisions. But I enjoyed it and that's what counts, and I didn't see the ending coming. A well deserved 7 from me",7 "In a world where a cyber attack has reduced the world to a post-apocalyptic landscape, the cities have put up walls and kicked out criminals. John Doe (played by Anthony Mack) is a milkman with amnesia who risks his life delivering food and supplies to the walled cities, as outside of them, gangs have managed to combine guns and vehicles to cause chaos and fight among each other. One day, while in New San Francisco, John Doe is approached by Raven, the Chief Operations Officer of the city, who gives him the opportunity to become a citizen of the city by completing one task, as she needs a package picked up in New Chicago. Joined by Quiet, he goes on his quest, where he is at odds with various new versions of Twisted Metal characters, including Sweet Tooth, who lives in the ruins of Las Vegas, Agent Stone, a former mall cop who has become a vigilante fighting crime his own way, and other versions of Twisted Metal drivers. As everyone knows, I am a fan of Twisted Metal, and seeing the trailers, I thought this would be a bad show. Watchig the show now, I see it is basically okay, but still having problems. The show aims to be an action as well as a comedy (the comedy being okay, as Twisted Metal did have some black comedy, especially in Twisted Metal 2 and Head-On). The show has a good cast, as other than Mackie, we get Thomas Haden Church as Agent Stone, professional wrestler Samoa Joe as Sweet Tooth (with Will Arnett, the man most would know as the voice of Batman in The Lego Movie, doing the voice of the killer clown), as well as other actors playing characters like Preacher, Bloody Mary, and even Amber Rose and Granny Dread (two characters I thought would never see the light of day due to being in Twisted Metal III, which was made by 989 Studios, a company a majority of the Twisted Metal fanbase hated). Many of these characters are written well (Sweet Tooth has grown on me, as this show finally gives him a balance between the serious killer of Twisted Metal: Black with the humorous side of him in Twisted Metal: Head-On, despite only having one episode where he is the main focus). Also, the series is chock full of references and easter eggs for longtime Twisted Metal fans to recognize. The show is okay. While it does change the setting, it does offer some new takes on the drivers that have been in Twisted Metal's roster, and the music is good. However, some minor gripes I have is some of the comedy doesn't stick and there is not much car combat (the latter being more tolerable, as it could be to avoid the show going over its budget). As a Twisted Metal fan, this is a great show that does a new take on the franchise, and I hope if it gets renewed, the show gets a higher budget to allow more vehicular carnage.",8 "The visuals for this movie are impressive. The story line is enjoyable, and it leaves you appreciating your place on Earth. The characters also provide some good laughs. It was one of the better 'space' movies. However, as a geek (I know, I know it's a movie) the orbits are all wrong for some of the events to even remotely take place. So if you know anything about space travel, as usual suspend disbelief for the moment. It at least stayed largely true to the no sounds in space thing, and provides some good lessons about linear and angular momentum. The fact I even get to bring this up, means I give the film makers some serious props... I wouldn't go so far as some of the reviews where they says the movie is creating a whole ""new genre"". The reviewers and movie makers just never realized, until now, what us geeks knew all along... space is much more awesome and frightening if you portray it more realistically. Hopefully the movie also provides a good reminder about how special this little rock is, and how unforgivable the rest of the universe is. Let's try and keep our planet that way! At least I was reminded of this when I left the theater.",7 "Non stop gunfights, he probably has a higher body count than Rambo. Action and fight scenes are well done but they are just too over the top",6 "I love the first two seasons and haven't watched the 3rd yet.. but I wish they could make a mini series of what would happen if Tony caught Hannah dropping off the tapes, and talked to her and asked her what's in the box?? I personally think this might help the people who are thinking of suicide to realise it will get better after the storm",8 "I loved the Harry Potter films, they grew with you and matured as you did but I have no idea what these films are about. The plot is non existent, boring, waste of time.",1 "It has its moments and entertaining parts. But this movie was over-hyped and in the end, is not a must-see movie. If you happen to catch it playing and there is nothing better on, then you may find some scenes here and there as fun and interesting. But overall, this movie will fade into obscurity because it's just not that good.",4 "Aside from good acting, the show just feels meh. I have seen better superhero shows. Hopefully the later episodes will make this more exciting. Only reason I am watching this show now is because the name looks cool and the suit looks cool.",5 Stupid characters doing stupid things on a stupid movie. The Worst of all in the conjuring franchise,2 "It's trash. The kind you watch because there are no decent shows out there anyway, and you had a stressful day so you stop giving a fk. I'm not a stickler to the lore. I read the books, and still I wouldn't mind them changing things around; given that they made these new changes relatable ! All these 'progressive' casting devotions are disorienting and distracting. At least for the most part. Next is a big one: pacing. It was trash. I understand they're trying to make you feel like 'something is happening all the time so you can't look away' - but that is exactly what makes it cheap. Add to that the never ending rambling of pointless dialogue, and cheesy displays of intense emotions every other second, and you get a show that is cheap trash. The biggest issue with the story is not even in its detail accuracy, it's simply unrelatable. Non of it is. Show has poor acting in 85% of instances and a non existent score.",2 Season 1 and 2 were amazing. The story really should've just ended there. The quality fell off of a cliff since then and feels like a money grab instead of an inspired story. Season 3 had a jarring tone shift where everything felt like a bad cartoon. Tried too hard to be funny but just wasn't. Season 4 feels like a cheesy soap opera. A problem with these types of shows is how every season needs to add new characters and add new monsters which get bigger and bigger to the point of silliness. By the fourth season there's way too many characters so the story has to constantly jump around every 2-3 minutes and the villain feels like a Marvel character.,5 "Writing a review about an endeared comic book character is harder than you might think. You don't want to spend a lot of time talking about the hero that most people who are taking the time to read the review, already know. You can talk about the history of how the film produced a sequel, but movies such as these have so much fanfare before they hit the big screen that by the time they are released, everyone is sick about turning on their television or looking out their office window to see yet another advertisement. And going into the details of the character as not seen in the movie but rather between the pages of an illustrated magazine, forgetaboutit! One small miscue, and the comic book convention guys are all over you petitioning your house and threatening your children (granted I live in a condo and have no kids, but it's possible). So when the event movie of 2004 hit theaters in June, I wondered how I was going to introduce the review. So for inspiration, I climbed through the attic and found a box labeled 'Old Clothes 1976' and pulled out my old Spider-Man underoo's. (To be fair, I should mention that they were not really underoo's just underpants and a t-shirt that my father had drawn webs on with a black marker). In full gear, I sat in front of my computer and started to type…. Spider-Man 2 is the sequel to the multi-million dollar grossing Spider-Man released just two years earlier. Back at the kick of the proverbial second can are actors Toby McGuire and Kirstin Dunst as Peter Parker (Spider-Man) and Mary Jane Watson, and director Sam Raimi (Evil Dead). SM2 picks up a few years after Spider-Man had rescued Manhattan from the evil deviance of the Green Goblin and things have changed greatly for the web-slinger. The oddly contorted swinging from building to building that was present two years ago has now been perfected, and variations of web constructions have improved for the betterment of mankind. But where thing have improved for Spidey, things have taken a turn for the worse for Peter Parker. He has lost his job, his woman, his friends. Hell, he can't even get a free drink or appetizer at a high-class gala. Also standing in his way of living happily ever after is none other than Dr. Otto Octavius (or Doc Ock for those of us who feel we have earned the right to be on a nickname basis). Played perfectly by Alfred Molina (Species), Doc Ock and his tentacles of terror strike a deal with Harry Osborn to deliver Spider-Man in exchange for the trillium he needs to complete his scientific experiment. So, Aunt Mae, Mary Jane and half of New York (including an El-Train?) are subjected to the terror that these two adversaries cause atop the tallest structures of the inner city. The special effects for these battle scenes are an improvement on the first installment, following the sequel rules that everything must be bigger and louder. Buildings are destroyed, cars are thrown at will and a riverside dilapidated structure is destroyed which will probably get Spider-Man credit for cleaning up the waterfront. Of course, like the first film (why change a winning combination), there is a love story at the heart of SM2 that runs cold then hot then cold then hot again. There are so many volleys back and forth between Toby and Kristin that I felt like I was watching Martina Navratalova and Jimmy Conners during a US Open tennis match. But where the Spider-Man had sparks fly, SM2 drags it out over too many scenes and doesn't capitalize on an emotional scene at the beginning of the film where the two speak with but a fence between them. But love story, blub story. Who cares, right? Are things blown up? Yes. Are the special effects cool? Yes. Is the movie better than the first one? I am not so sure. I wasn't completely enamored by the original and the second one had too many dry spells to keep my interest for the full two hours. Although the sound was incredible and the visuals stunning the story and dialogue lacked a great deal of substance and final climax between web-head the Octavius was… anti-climatic in terms of what was building up to be a phenomenal finish. There is a good deal of humor in the SM2 and that is a good thing. A scene in an elevator between Spidey and a passenger was good fun, and the violin player outside the theatre house was worth a chuckle or two. But all the snickers in the world couldn't keep me from ignoring some incredibly inane dialogue. The final words as uttered in the film from Mary Jane to Spider-Man ('Go get 'em, tiger') got laughs when it shouldn't and that is not the way you want to remember a film. And don't even get me started on Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head or the Here Comes The Bride musical treats. When you get down to it though, this is the ultimate summer flick and it will make wheel barrels of money no matter what any of us say. The young women will like it due to Toby's presence, the young men will be happy that Kristin gets wet again near the end while wearing a tight outfit, and teachers and theologians will talk on the storyline of how Spider-Man suffered through a mental condition that affected his web slinging ability. Oh yeah, I guess the kid target audience will like it too due to the violence and cartoon action. Me, I was indifferent. Glad I saw it and will probably buy it on DVD in 6 months. I just expected a little more. So there you have it, I can finally take off these stupid Spider-Man underpants and go back to the normal boxers (which also have cob webs….unfortunately, real ones). With Spider-Man 3 more than hinted at the conclusion of the second, I just best not put the Old Clothes box anywhere it can't be easily found.",6 "I was looking at chernobyl related documents and documentaries from last 1 year. I dont know how i suddenly started getting interest to read about CHernobyl. ANd then i came to know about the show CHerbobyl which was just produced as well. I mean whats the timimg, did the director writer gazed from interent users how people are getting interested in this topic and started making show out of it? I mean is this some sense which everyone realizes at once. Ok apart from the timing the show itself is very good and i am very proud of my self that it is ranekd top tv shows.. The game of thrones i did not see, i thought it is best show as many people talk about it. But then the topic i had interest is suddenly top of imdb.. this makes me feel my choices are great.

Became an action film which made me loose my sense of excitement for the whole movie. Not the best movie,6 This is the most obnoxious whiney teen show I have ever seen. All the characters are privileged white snots that complain about EVERYTHING. Nothing remotely interesting. Terrible show!,1 "I was apprehensive based on the first few trailers we got. Just looked cheesy. But thankfully the show was much much better. Definitely a lot like The Boys in it's violence, humor, and characters. There were plenty of nods to the video games that was appreciated. Mackie and Beatriz nail both of their roles as John Doe and Quiet. They have chemistry from the beginning and it develops nicely. The last episode certainly makes me think we'll get a second season and I can't wait. I also like how even when you get what you want from Calypso, you really don't. Sweet Tooth was played perfectly. The most iconic character of the video game series was done perfectly. Oh and nice to see Neve Campbell again.",8 Dunkirk. Visually compelling. Dramatically and humanly uncompelling. Never dull but then I never really cared either. Watch Land of Mine instead.,5 A surprisingly outstanding sequel to the first Spider-Man film.,9 "So not much really happens for such a long film. It's more like a snapshot of the characters, certainly don't get to know them any better by the end of the film than you do just after their first introduction. There's a couple of races, some people yell a bit, some nasty guy tries to get his way and annoy people, and so on. I don't know, it's like the actors were really great at pulling off playing authentic seeming boring people. A rating of 5 is pretty high but films can certainly be a lot worse than this just that they can also be a lot better.",5 First 20min really cool . later total borefest of repetitive shooting and senseless story.,4 "I laughed and cried all the way through this movie as my 80's child heart healed and my midlife heart felt reassured that how I have felt through all these years is has been seen. Greta Gerwig is a genius and I'm sorry for all those who thought this was going to be some plastic-fantastic fun ride and were stuck with the deep existentialism and down with the patriarchy messaging - but this was a masterpiece! My only hope is this movie becomes part of the school curriculum and is studied for years to come. Bravo - you are changing the world Greta! And Margo, Ryan and the cast were absolute perfection!!! 10/10 all day every day!",10 "Yes, dear Disney fans your dreams have come true. Your youth can be prolonged. There is an other formula that will turn the average adult into a giggling teenager. I have seen it happen in a big cinema in my city. Mature folk that went hysterical by the dozen as flying cutlery landed in eyeballs. Please man, stop it! Go see a flick to get out of the daily routine, but please stay a bit critical. Just for the record: These words do not sprout from the mind of a bitter person, but from a bitterly disappointed one. Once again a great concept has been completely overdone in the wrong direction. It has been said before and that does strengthen me to discuss it one more. This genre is weirdly annoying 'the portrayal of gruesome (in this case 18th century buccanic) violence combined with Uncle Walts very own vision on slapstick'. What is the message and who is supposed to be addressed? Is made for big children or for small adults? In one way you might say that in works for those you have a good time watching this film. In an other way I would like to take great distance from exactly those people over 18 that reward this flick with anything over a 4. Hereby I do so, bunch of gullible kid souls.

NO REDEMING QUALITIES WHATSOEVER ... AN INSULT TO THE WORK OF ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE FIRST TWO FILMS ... FLUSH IT ... ITS POO.",2 "Before I start this, I think season 1 is an absolute treasure, 10/10 from me! The plot is great, character relationships feel real and authentic, and just the feel of the show is just captivating! Okay, lets start off with Amy Schumer. I know her role is giving mixed opinions, and rightly so. The way they presented her in this is not well written at all! I think this was a last minute decision and they didn't have too much time to write her character a good story. Also, her playing herself... doesn't make sense in this show. I get the whole keeping celeb thing intact but come on now, it's just a bit too random. The next point is Cara Delevingne. She should not be in the show at all! It simply doesn't suit her or the show! She plays a bit of a wacky painter and enters the show through Mabel. Now her character entry is okay... but in general, this seems too fast paced and there is ABSOLUTELY no chemistry between her and Selena! It feels so forced and unnatural, what on Earth is going on. Please tell me these two do not actually get together, it seriously feels empty and cold! Don't get me wrong, both Selena and Cara are good actors but them being in a relationship... yeah unfortunately we need to pull the plug on that, as I said before it was SO forced, rushed, and awkward. I honestly want to know what was going through the writers, producers, and directors' heads when they saw this scene!! My final point, the plot is fine but after seeing the first three episodes, it's not drawing me in like season 1. When watching season 1 I literally could not wait for the next episode to come out, but season 2... I really hate to say it but the series has lost its magic :(. I told all my friends about this show and didn't ever shut up about it too! Such a shame. Takeaways:",3 I watched the original series when broadcast. I tried watching them again after so many years and I can't. There's no mystery to it. The new series unfortunately copied that format. Every detail of action or suspense is so telegraphed and obvious that even small children know what's going to happen. A real disappointment.... No real story.... great special effects of course but doesn't everything have them now?,3 """Stranger things"" is essentially ""Goonies"" meets ""Alien"". A fine blend of adventure and horror, with an 80s retro vibe that immerses you in a completely believable world. It undoubtedly engrosses anyone who sits down to watch. The direction is excellent and the performances, especially the ones from the young cast, will surprise you. As everyone will tell you, there is a cast of extremely talented young boys at the center of the plot, but Millie Bobby Brown as ""Eleven"" is a revelation - a young Sigourney Weaver that fights an equally terrifying ""Alien"". Millie has everyone out there ranting and raving about her, and deservedly so. It seems ""Stranger Things"" is going to be remembered in the future as the pedestal for the launching of her career as a major star. Millie approaches a very difficult and demanding role, that's stripped down verbally and has to be essentially performed using body language, with the maturity of a much older actress. The only problem with ""Stranger Things"", honestly, is, how the next season or seasons will be able to live up to the audience's elevated expectations! ""Stranger Things"" has set the bar very high for its own good. Here is to hoping the Duffer Brothers know what they are doing and they will not disappoint!",9 Derivative and inferior to Ozark's dark humor and True Detective's Southern Gothic mysticism. Contains disturbing bullying and child neglect themes.,3 "When it did before these Disney woke untalented writers could put their stinking hands on it and ruin something amazing how they're doing to our beloved Loki! What the hell is wrong with you Disney, we (true fans and paying customers) are fed up with the abomination of what you're putting out. What's with all the emasculating! As a female I don't want to see butch ass women dominating men, that's what you're doing! Great shows stick to what made superheroes icons, your goal is annihilate; so yeah, the show sucks!",1 "Ignore the 1 star ratings that try and say that the 9's are made up. It's dark,quirky comedy and is so much better than most 1/2 hour shows out there. Nice to see something different. Also ignore the 10's. Maybe 5 movies I've seen in 63 years that are that good. Lol.",8 I love a lot of Mendes' movies but as an action director he's lazy. Every time a hero gets into a tight spot he gets out in seconds with almost zero effort.,5 "One thing that DreamWorks does well (with the exception of Shrek the Third) is sequels. They prove time and time again that they are very legit company in many cases, does better then its animated counterparts. Kung Fu Panda 2 is no exception as it seems the franchise is well at hand. After the incredible year of 2010 for DreamWorks after the cultural success of How to Train Your Dragon, and ending a great franchise (Shrek) they follow that year up with this. The movie's strengths are found within the story, not that its unique, but the secret ingredient found within. The secret ingredient is heart. Its not totally comedic as one would expect, but in the middle they tweak the film's tone with heart and emotion. This is what a proper sequel should do, taking the story and making it more then what we'd expect. Is this film a rehash from the last? Well, not really it offers new elements, especially to Po's character. The other characters are still they're same likable selves. In this however they really showcase the relationship growing between Po and Tigress which is the most unique and pleasurable relationship. The next thing is the villain voiced by Gary Oldman. He is the most interesting and menacing out of the villains so far. And that's hard to make a peacock menacing, and they did it like pros. Now the negative I have is what I said before, with the story not being unique and refreshing, but that's a slight error as the film makes up with heart. So a very small negativity. As a whole this film is one of DreamWorks' best. Now to grade. Animation: A Voice Acting: A- Story: C+ Music: B+ Characters: A+ Overall: B+",8 "So trite. So cliche. So predictable. So cheesy. And franky, a so-so film with a universe that centers around Cruise. Too long to get to the good scenes.",1 "I'm glad I didn't pay money at the theater for this dribble. Lots and lots of CGI eye candy, if you're into that. Man. I'm getting rid of Disney, sick of this pablum. The most powerful witch in the multiverse gonna destroy it all for some phantom kids? Nice, de-value her by making her wanna have mommy urges. You sick m-effers. Disney cancelled.",3 What a mess ... the longest time I've ever watched something like this ... I cannot clarify but it all makes no sense,3 "I have many opinions when it comes to this movie. The movie itself was great, but as everything in life nothing is perfect. Why a 7 out of 10? You may ask yourself, well even though the movie was great produced, had a great casting, great costumes and of course an impressive set, the plot was weak. The fact that Barbie (Margot Robbie) did not last even five minutes in the Real World disappointed me. I know that she was supposed to find Gloria (America Ferrera) to get ""fixed"", so she could go home and be the stereotypical barbie again, which in fact was the main plot of the movie, at first. However, she finds her real fast, not giving Barbie enough time to get to know the Real World, aside from the disrespectful male individuals in the beginning. I would have liked Barbie to experience the Real World in a different way, even though the Real World is messed up. I think it would have been nice for Barbie to eat an ice cream for the first time that was not made of plastic or simply for Ken to feel the water at the beach and realize it was not made of plastic or foam as well. Another thing that I did not like was that some characters from Barbie Dreamhouse were not in the movie, such as Ryan, Raquelle, and Nikki, but it was better like that because we all know Raquelle and her unexplainable need to be more successful than barbie at everything. Although at some points I wonder what would have been like if Raquelle were in the movie and totally interfered with Barbie's plan of getting fixed in the Real World. Let us talk about Ken (Ryan Gosling) for a minute. I must say that, at first, I found Ryan Gosling unfit for the Ken role, but I am completely happy with the way he portrayed his character. He made me laugh so much with his facial expressions and his speeches. I went to watch the movie for Barbie and ended up in love with Ken's character. However, Ken might have been funny, but when he totally invaded Barbie's house and threw her clothes away, I found it mean and disrespectful. Yet we have never thought about the Kens for a second, like where do they go when the Barbies go to sleep. I feel like they took this movie as a huge Mattel propaganda, instead of what it should have been. A fun movie where Barbie ventures into an unknow world for the first time trying to get her ""problems"" fixed but having to bear with Ken throughout the whole trip; like those comedy movies where a duo must stick together through a difficult situation even though they do not entirely love each other's personality. At last, I loved how Barbie did not need a man to be happy or complete and I also loved how Ken realized that he didn't need Barbie for him to be Kenough. Not like in Dreamhouse where Ken is always so clingy and needy of Barbie just because. Like Barbie don't need no man to be Barbie. I also loved Allan and his awkwardness, so sad that they discontinued him and Midge. I would have liked to see Ken and Allan as buddies, after all that's why Allan was created, to be Ken's buddy, although I don't think they would have clicked. Margot did an amazing job as Barbie and so did Ryan as Ken. I love them both and loved their acting in this as well, I truly enjoyed the movie expect the little things mentioned previously.",7 "In my point of view GOT is better for it was easier to believe. There was a great variety of roles and characters compared to Witcher. What made GOT more attractive was mortality of heroes. On the other hand Witcher focuses on three characters that makes it easier to bring the plot together while GOT has multiple characters and confusingly interconnected subplots beside many attractive creative ideas such as new language. I hope Witcher be more creative, unpredictable and contain less violence and nudity.",8 "Laugh out loud humor, fantastic sets and costumes that contain a wonderful message. I took my teenage daughter and preteen son and we all were incredibly surprised by exactly how much we enjoyed the entire film. I was not sure what to expect but it exceeded anything I could have imagined. While there was an inherently difficult topic at the core, it was handled delicately and with care. Lots of hilarity for the adults but minimal issues that would create discomfort if you take younger kids. My kids have already said they want to watch it again. So do I because I think I will find deeper concepts on a 2nd watch. And the music was phenomenal!",10 A see through blue dress is worn by a character. Just an fyi,5 "I have not seen the first movie, but generally I am a big fan of Marvel movies and normally I don't mind a silly plot as long as you have fun But this is the first movie in ages where I seriously considered stopping the DVD and watch something else. Story is dull, actors are wasted. Most of all, I could not bring myself to like any of the characters, they were all dull and replaceable. It was completely unfunny, all these discussions with the symbiont were wooden and dull. And casting Harrelson as a villain more often does not work than work. If you have another DVD to watch, pick the other one. For example a movie from the MCU.",3 "I was getting ready to give this series 9 stars until the last episode... what a letdown. Such a unoriginal and predictable ending to an otherwise well written and acted show.",7 "A wonderful throwback to 80's blockbuster classics such as ET and Goonies. The first season is far better than the second, but still enjoyable. Every actor is excellent. The casting director doesn't get the credit they deserve. If you can't find something to like about 'Stranger Things', you're probably not a pleasant person to be around. Bravo, Duffer Bros.",9 "I enjoyed the comedy of this one and most of the messages were pretty strong and made an impact. Robbie and Gosling were terrific and hilarious to watch throughout the film. The dance numbers and sets were gorgeous, and they put a lot of effort into the production. Going into the real world was also well done and shifted the story quickly. It's weird to give it such a high score but I also feel like the preachiness and number of messages trying to be driven home were just a bit too much and all over the place. In some scenes, I got emotional, and then in other scenes, I felt like it wiped that progress away with the new ""message"". I still believe it is that good but if it tightened up a bit and stayed consistent then this would have been bumped higher in rating. 4/5 stars.",8 "Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) is recruited by fellow mercenary Nik Khan(Golshifteh Farahani) to rescue Ovi (Rudhraksh Jaiswal)from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Rake and Khan's team prepare to extract Ovi, with his father's men set to pay them once Ovi is recovered. Is Tyler successful? What all enemies he has to fight to bring back Ovi and do both make it back successfully is what the story covers. There are some impressive stunt work and fantastically steroidal action sequences by both Chris Hemsworth ,Randeep Hooda(Saju) and even Golshifteh Farahani towards the end. Golshifteh as Nik looks beautiful. Randeep and Chris have some great moments of guns blazing and combat knives stabbing.with each other and against Asif's man. As action takes the centrestage the story goes for a toss as case is with most of the action series. Many would call is mindless. The movie does get tedious after an hour but quickly finds its feet once Ovi(14 yr old) kills the Gasper(David Harbour ). Yes, 14 yr old has moments as well. And, bond between the Ovi and his saviour Tyler do carry emotion so Tyler going all out for Ovi does make sense. Though I would have loved to see backstory of Ovi Mahajan Sr(Pankaj Tripathi) and Amir Asif(Priyanshu Painyuli) for me to be fully invested into the series. Such detailing was absent and many a times you could wonder if all the bloodbath is all worth it. All in all, for action movie fans, it is a must watch.",6 "This smug little kaleidoscope of low lives had a lot of potential. But like a lot of its writer's works has aged horribly as it can no longer corner the market on movies with a zany style and now must viewed in terms of its substance, not just its style. The meandering nature of the narrative really has no narrative: there is no intrigue or sense of development. It's not an anthology movie but it almost is and therefor each scene can only really be enjoyed as a thing in itself without context and so lacks both the ground work and the sense of consequence that would make them classics. It's sort of sad to watch it desperately just try to produce iconic or quotable moment after moment rather than apply itself to something a real back bone. It's sort of enjoyable for its sheer bombasticity but it gets old really quickly with no characters I want to root for which would be fine if only there was some sense of pay off on any of the character's fates. Some people jack themselves off to this movie's freshness but I think this is another case of something that was fresh for its time ageing horribly and its enduring cult status is a mixture of nostalgia, emperor's new clothes and people not willing to look behind the make up to see what a pandering little flick this really is. It has its moments but it never seems to aspire to more than a sequence of moments rather than a movie in the familiar sense. You could argue its a meditation of fate and consequence but that just sound a nicer way of saying it wasn't thought through well. It's not just tedious for long stretches, it kind of annoys me.",5 "I easily get emotional when watching movies and shows, listening to music, etc. This show just never made me feel much. They really try for the worst situations, really lay it on thick, but it never works that well on a human level. The average episode of Ted Lasso has more pathos than anything in this series. Then there are the huge logical leaps and continuity errors that would seem out of place even in a bad video game, let alone in a carefully constructed mini series. Skip the really glaring logical misses. Fix the continuity errors. Go for emotions in a more natural way and the show would be close to perfect... Six out of ten is good, above average, with a few tweaks it would have been an eight or nine.",6 "It has all the things first Iron Man film didn't have. And that's not necessarily a good thing. Good : RDJ is fantastic as Iron Man and Tony Stark. He has proven himself to be perfect choice in the role in multiple films now, and this is no exception. No matter how ridiculous the screenplay was, he is the last thing wrong with this film. Also, we get introduced to two new characters, Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff. Their introduction feels very apt for the first Avengers movie which came in 2012. Samuel Jackson and Scarlett Johansson prove to be the perfect choices in the first go. RDJ has a very great chemistry with all the cast members. His one liners are damn good. In the entertainment and performance level, there are no complaints. Mixed : Even though it was entertaining, it was a total mess. It had a ton of good ideas for a solo Iron Man film, but all of them do not coalesce together to form a solid plot of the film. The plotlines were good, but the final story did not turn out to be so good. I can appreciate what they tried but not what they did. It feels like a misfire. The arc they tried to give to Stark was quite good. But, the screenplay was ridiculous at many parts. We don't feel sorry, neither we sympathize him. Instead, he feels like a gigantic source of annoyance, even though he was to be sympathized. Bad : It feels like an advertisement for Avengers, rather than an entertaining build up. Studio allowing a very short period of time for making this movie is quite apparent. Whiplash feels as if he would've been a really great villain, but due to ridiculous screenplay, he feels uninteresting. He had motives to stand against Stark, but in the end he feels like a slimy goofball who wants to kill Iron Man to show that he is tough. And the other villain, Justin Hammer, is a blant rival of Iron Man who is a kind of a whiner and just a clichéd villain. I loved Terrence Howard as War Machine. Don Cheadle sucks. When Howard was casted, I felt like I would get a War Machine solo some day, or at least be in a really good role other than being a sidekick to Iron Man. But with Cheadle, I felt that it would be better if they make him just a sidekick and luckily, that's the case till date. Conclusion : It's an entertaining mess. You will enjoy RDJ and his one liners, and, the overall charisma that everyone, except Cheadle, bring to the characters they play. But if you expect it to be a solid sequel, it ain't so. Whiplash feels like a wasted villain and Mickie Rourke feels like a wasted talent. He did fine with the material he was given to work with, but it never felt like he was necessary for the role. But the biggest issue would be that it feels like an advertisement of Avengers rather than a build up, and the plotlines not meshing together makes it a disappointment to a certain extent. Rating. Score : 6.3/10 Grade : B.",6 "That having said....I love the show...binged it - 2 weeks, now close to the 10th season....I do get the feeling since season 8 it's being forced....but all in all worth the watch.",7 It is a long and boring show with no point.. The acting is amazing but that's not enough to deserve all the overeating i mean 8! WHY?,4 I drove my 2004 Nissan Altima to this movie with the expectations that it would distract me from my chronic mental deterioration. I however gained a few extra disorders. This movie was so painful my open heart operation where I was given to little anaesthesia and was accidentally stil conscious was a better experience. This movie is like going on a walk with your weird uncle. You expect it to be fun and short. But it is long and traumatizing. I rather watch the top ten live leak decapitations than watch this horrendous pile of story less death of a franchise dog doodoo. I watched a small child write a story about a dog. It was written in crayon on a post it note but stil however had a better story line than this movie. The last time I was this dissatisfied is when I went to a brothel in Vietnam and found out there where to swords in this fight. This movie made me so mad I felt like remaking a scene from the Jeffrey dahmer documentary. Long story short if you want to flee the country without your kids leave them at this horrendously boring and stale movie and drive to Mexico.,2 "Often when you think of the second parts you say that these are never good, but it was only to be expected that 'The Godfather Part II' was the exception. How could you beat 'The Godfather', a practically perfect movie? It certainly wasn't an easy task, but Coppola knew how to do it.. Repeat the formula, but do it doubly better. In this second film we see how Michael takes care of the family's criminal business as well as seeing the beginnings and youth of Vito Corleone. It is quite interesting how these two narratives contrast, both very intuitive, in the first one seeing how Michael destroys his family in his search for power, while Vito builds it. In this way Coppola makes the two apparently separate stories interconnected in a way that is both subtle and masterful. But the real achievement of this second part may be as a slingshot in Michael and his criminal business, which in turn makes his humanity and family relationships compromised, giving the film a non-existent drama in the first part. Finally the conclusion I draw from this film is that Francis Ford Coppola has achieved higher status as an artist by being able to not only match his first masterpiece, but to make it even better.",10 "I wanted to love this movie. I wanted it to be the next great war epic that the trailers convinced me it would be, but in the end, it was a slow, methodical trip across the countryside with next-to-no combat and a focus almost entirely on dialogue. While that may be enough for some people, I look back to Saving Private Ryan and other masterclasses of the genre that save the character driven moments until after they have already shown you the horrors of combat. For me, the quotables and the character arcs did not feel earned, and the journey ended in a puff of smoke that dissipated unrealistically quickly.",5 "I love to see the change in character of Loki, from cunning and evil, he has changed to be more helpful and good. With Sylvie, he has changed a lot.",8 Way overrated. Don't waste your hard earned money by going to the theaters. It's very disappointing. Wait until it comes out on DVD and save some bucks. It has funny moments and some serious. The ending....well let's just say...it sucked. No closure Maybe it their way of setting up a part two. It could have been a very good movie if they did not try so hard to mike the story out. But to each their own. Either you like it or not.,5 "The fifth frame to hit the screen in Johnny Gaddar marks a dedication to Vijay Anand and James Hadley chase and the tributes just don't stop coming from the seventy style beginning on a fantastically remixed Johny Mera Naam theme to clips of parwana and even references to modern day thrillers to Scarface. Johnny Gaddar is an old fashioned double crossing thriller made with as much fun as the audience is expected to have. Five partners decide to buy in some smuggled good (possible some French antique – just like all self respecting gangster movies the viewer is never properly explained what the deal is about) one of them sees parwana and decides to get the entire pooled in 2.5 crore for himself except things go horribly wrong like they should and the body count begins to rise Unlike other gangster movies of recent times like Ek Chaalis Ki Last Local and d etc. the films antiheroes have style and families to look after. They are not hardened criminals yet very sleazy guys. Johnny gaddar is full of racy characters, violent situations and a cold calculating anti hero just like a James Hadley chase which has a provocative cover but is too slick to waste time on sex. The supporting cast is extremely good too with Vinay Pathak as a sleazy gambling den owner leading the way and Dharmendra as a 'respectable' retired smuggler stealing the scenes. Neil Nitin Mukesh as the suave anti hero remains expressionless for most of the film but then his role is one which demands it. You don't hate him for what he does for he fools you with his straight face but just wait for his next move which makes him one of the best anti heroes to hit the screens in recent memory. Prior to Johnny Gadaar u could only count jaane bhi do yaaron as a true cult film Bollywood ever produced but gaddar is without the cult of film of our times. From a zany background score to the keeps you guessing climax johhny Gadaar is highly recommended to those who love and know their movies. Bollywood if you can call it that is definitely moved a step closer to coming of age with this Johnny. Watch out for the Johny johny yes papa remix as the credits roll!!",9 "I am a ""late-watcher"". I work nights, so rarely actually watch TV. So I just began watching Daredevil on Netflix. OMG! Shock-o when Vincent is the bad guy!!!! Nooooo! Not my ""Bobby""!!!' I don't think I can watch it now. Bobby is not, can not be a bad guy. From a Forever Robert ""Bobby"" Goren fan!! I refuse to watch movies where he's played the villain. I love you, Vincent/Bobby. Nut case? I know. Even in the end when Bobby was having his meltdown, I could barely watch the episodes and I wanted to yell at his mother (character) for being mean to him. Don't know why they wrote the characters mental demise like that, he was brilliant. However, I really liked Daredevil up until then. : )",8 "IT has a lot going for it. Heroes, X-men...But then it also has a lot of pointless, useless drama. Drama that adds nothing. You learn pretty quick who is interesting and who isn't. This sure helps when skipping large sections of the first 6 episodes. There is a talking monkey for no reason. None..zip.. Can I talk about that number 5. Wow that kid is a good actor. Although most of the actors were great but Number 5 was fantastic.. Need more input. The last few episodes were great and I hope there is a 2nd season. Also...So the story mentions 42 special people but that the Rich guy only got 7...Why are the other 35 specials never mentioned...not once...Just these random 7 were chosen randomly and yet they are the only ones who can do anything? I dont buy it. But who knows what the 2nd season will do",7 "Hi, I would like to start with the past. Specifically, winter soldier, the previous movie. Now that movie was focused. It had established an identity, which in my mind felt like espionage/action movie. Directorship was great and in my opinion extremely underrated. This comes in its own light due to the inevitable comparing between the two of these movies. In this movie to start with, combat scenes are poorly assembled. Directorship is terrible, very shaky camera, bad angles, constant switching between cameras, unnecessary dark lighting. Recent contrast to compare? Dead pool. They have the means to create a great combat scene where you don't need to replay everything 2-3 times to see what's happening and get a gratifying feeling and appreciation of the art in it. Let me give you another example... Jumps. I mean the heroic intro jump from a building or some other height. The ""bad-ass"" intro. They've cut all jumps and change camera at landing, they didn't even bother to CGI it. The manner that this happened didn't feel neither artistic, or purposeful, just hastily assembled. As a fellow reviewer commented, plot holes everywhere. I am not going into specifics but you couldn't get they why. It's like after they had filmed the movie, someone changed the script. Lastly, i just want to point out, that i am the kind of man with an obsession. Meaning i like the franchise immensely and i will try to cut corners and justify everything they dish out at me, and I've defended every movie of the universe from day 1, either good or bad (there wasn't any movie in the franchise till now that was not at least decent and with good standards anyway), with the same zeal. I have never written a review in the past, but i was so offended by this movie and so frustrated to see such high ratings, just because its captain America/avengers and the names of the cast, that i had to resort here, to warn people and hope that someone in the marvel franchise is looking out. Don't get me wrong, I've never even bothered with reading the original comics. I couldn't care less about how the lore might defer from comics. It was outright insulting to the viewers and just a money-hoarding movie. To justify this, simply compare the excellence of every past movie coming from this marvel universe with Captain America Civil War. The difference is immense, humongous, monstrous, enormous, it's a gap that cannot be leapt. I'm really really sorry and sad about this, it will be the first movie of those that i will re-watch only once at home simply to get all the facts and lore to be up-to-date for the next ones. Needless to say that 1 hour after watching it at the cinema, i'm still dizzy, literally dizzy and sick in my stomach from the bad lightning and the darn earthquake camera... Overall, I totally understand that after a certain point, when the script and subsequently, the universe, has expanded so much, there will be some gaps. But fans would rather wait for a movie to be completed first, properly than have movies just roll out fast. This movie by my simple amateur gut feeling and estimation, should at least have a development/shooting time of 2 to 3 years. The feeling we got in the cinema, was that it was rolled out in 6 months. With all the honesty, positive aura and hope, i wrote this review, praying, making an ode to the creators and executives to climb back this steep path, come back to ""light"".",3 "Being British and having lived for many years near Swanage where some of the UK scenes were filmed I was really looking forward to seeing Dunkirk, Christopher Nolans first film based on true events. Maybe because of this I was a little disappointed and felt it could have been better but overall found it an enjoyable film. We don't get to feel the scale of what happened at Dunkirk when the allies were attempting to evacuate 400,000 troops to England. Instead we get to follow three separate stories called Mole, Sea and Air. Mole is following some of the soldiers trying to escape from the beach, Sea is the story of one of the many small boats that attempted to help the aforementioned troops escape and Air is about the RAF efforts to assist. There is one very emotional scene with the small boats approaching the beaches. Overall I would give the film 7.5 out of 10 and recommend it but advise some additional reading after seeing the film to fully understand the importance of Dunkirk in the Second World War.",7 "I'm lost for words when reviewing the praise heaped on this Batman finale. I can't tell if it's blind faith or bribery, but The Dark Knight Rises fell far short of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. The plot is ludicrous with an absence of excitement or action. Bane fills most of the screen time and yet fails to show any menace or strength. In fact Nolans vision has pushed the realism of Batman to such an extreme that the original imagined characters look like a bunch of idiots running around in Halloween costumes in broad daylight. Without revealing any spoilers I cannot emphasise enough how ridiculous the plot is, filled with sequences that make no sense from the beginning to the end. It's bad enough that the director has turned out a really poor film to what was an exciting re-envisioning of a Batman trilogy; but for critics to then heap praise on top, just turns this film into one large stinking pile of garbage. Shame on you all! In summary... liked the Catwoman, Batman was absent and overall I was BORED!!!!!!",3 "Too short, Kevin feige siad that last 3 episodes will be of three hours combined but this episode was just 24-26 min long. The end was again a cliffhanger but providing just an half hour content after waiting a week is just crime.",9 Not much to say its a pretty boring movie overall the gimmick of not beeing able to look outside was kinda bad,4 This movie captures the human condition like no film ever made. I was transfixed by the honesty of the characters as they maneuvered through the landmines of self hatred and deprivation.,10 "Community goes from ann excellent season 1 to a horrible season 5 . Plotless ,poor character development and growth. There is absolutely nothing to look forward to from Season 4 but gets worse off by Season 5 .",6 "If you enjoyed the 1st movie, you're definitely going to enjoy this one. It makes you LOL and they really showed the relationship between Eddie & Venom in such a relatable/realistic way. Truly enjoyable, and pay no mind to the negative reviews!",8 Words can not convey just how bad this film is. A steaming pile of **** Only giving the film 1 star as zero is not an option.,1 "If this series was directed by Peter Jackson it could be a masterpiece of cinema but it was directed by Lauren Schmidt and this is one of the worst shows I've ever seen. The only reason why I watched the first season to the end is Henry Cavill, only because of him I give this series 3 points instead of 0. Everything is bad here - bad casting, bad script, bad graphics, bad character behavior, bad editing, bad logic. Many of the characters and actions from the book are rewritten and completely screwed up and I absolutely don't understand why this was done. The first season was saved thanks to the popularity of the game, but I'm afraid that such a miracle will not happen with the second, the only thing that can save this series is Lauren Schmidt's dismissal and getting rid of her legacy.",3 "Corny, boring and cringy with soft waft of stale smell. If you dislike British comedy shows, this one is no different. Avoid.",2 "Realistic, good story telling as well as character development. Very nice to follow both sides, the boys and Hollander and his team. It is kinda what they did in got. Very good character who you can sympathize with.",9 "I came here because the high ratings were bothering me. This feels like one of those films by a director that has grand ideas but actually very little experience in the real world (that leads to what can only be described as pretentious outcomes). Now by ""experience of the real world"" I don't mean that the films premise needed to be more grounded, far from it, some of the most outlandish unbelievable (heck even total fantasy) stories can feel grounded thanks their attention to detail that make them (or their world) believable. I mean here that the details/this world is so unbelievable that the whole experience is boring/an insult. This manifests itself most prominently in the character's and their development. There are collections of character traits bundled and attached to two main groups of characters: poor and rich. Presumably this is to make the overall plot work (the poor are conniving and greedy and the rich are... well rich? And apparently dumb with their lack of curiosity and poor decision making). This falls apart almost immediately when the poorer family show signs of being sloppy (they can't be bothered to fold the pizza boxes properly and do not understand what's wrong when there is complaint) yet have meticulous attention to detail (they perform an A-class service to the richer family on demand?). Both seemingly motivated by their want for money. If they were indeed driven by money via attention to detail, they would have had a million opportunities in-between these extremes. This inconsistency leads me to view this as a poor treatment of the ""poor person"" stereotype and much less than being a statement on society this film is actually an embarrassing statement on the directors ignorance. This is forgivable, not all directors have had the world experience and who is to stop them from making a film? It looks nice at least. What is not forgivable is that the Oscars can't see this for what it is (nor the endless reviewers). The pretentiousness therefore is mirrored in the critics praise - they think they understand a clever observation on society, but all they are revealing is their own poor understanding of class and how people work. Forgivable again perhaps for the average viewer, but critics with large audiences? There's your statement on society: people with loud voices haven't got a ******* clue.",3 "So with The Boys controversially releasing the second season in weekly episodes it has taken longer to watch then the first season, but I have now finished the 2nd season of the show and here is my review for it. The premise of the season sees after the death of Madelyn Stillwell The Boys are now being hunted down by the law and Vought, while Starlight and Homelander have to deal with a new member of The Seven called Stormfront. Main Character Karl Urban as Billy Butcher has easily been one of his best roles ever and he continues to shine here. He maybe doesn't have the stand out moments from the first season but the core of the character is still there, the charisma, the charm and the roughness is back with plenty of action and it allows Urban just to have so much fun with the role and it very clearly translates to screen. When I heard there would be a new villain for the second season, I was worried as Homelander played by Anthony Starr is fantastic and I didn't want his role to get reduced, but luckily this doesn't happen and Starr absolutely nails it. Homelander isn't just the most complex character on The Boys but he is probably one of the most complex character's in the whole of Television and Starr deserves huge credit for this. Supporting Characters The cast of The Boys is huge and everybody does good jobs in their roles but I will mainly talk about the main ones. Eric Moriarty has always been great as Starlight and I thought she does a good job here, she kind of goes away from being the all good superhero, there is more complexity to her and she is forced into tough decisions, especially in the latter half of the season. Aya Cash coming in as Stormfront is great, her character is also one of the most interesting parts of the show and the more you find out about her the more interested you are and more concerned about what plans she has. The show also does a great job of fleshing out the characters of Mothers Milk and Frenchie as we find out more of why they are so close with Butcher. Jack Quaid as Hughie definitely had more of an impact in the first season but he is still good in his role and I actually think they take his character is an interesting direction during the season and at the end of it. Also any show that has the great Giancarlo Esposito is a win for me and even though he isn't a huge part of the show, he does a great job as always when he is on screen. Story Most of the story is interesting this season. Seeing Butcher, Homelander and Stormfront's character arcs is really fascinating and you really just want to find out more about them and where they are going throughout the show. The boys still does a great job of using its stories to reflect real world issues but add the craziness of The Boys too it and this show still does a good job this. However, this season struggles with the same issue as the first season, there are just a few too many story arcs that aren't really that important and really take up more time then it should. For example the whole Church Of Collective stuff feels pointless and like it could have been ripped from the show and it would be no different and I would have rather spent more time with fewer characters then force us into watching story arcs that aren't that interesting. Script The script still has plenty of laughs and drama to it, it is clever but not in the way that it knows it is clever, meaning it feels very natural for the show that we are watching. But some of the characters are written really well, mainly Homelander which again I can't stop talking about. But this season more then most have a few things that don't quite make sense and it feels weaker then the previous season with its writing and that hurts the overall product. Style The style is still excellent, the visceral action scenes are still here, I just love how unapologetic this show is and this season is no different with the show really throwing plenty of punches. It is exciting and mostly keeps the pacing up and keep you invested overall. The fact that the episodes were released weekly sucked, but this isn't the first show to do it and it won't be the last so it didn't really affect my watching experience. Overall Overall this is another great season of The Boys, If you loved this show you will enjoy the second season and with a third season and a spinoff show announced, hopefully we will see much more. Rating - 8/10.",9 "Some people say the show steal a lot of ideias from 80's major pop culture hits. Honnestly I dont care: i loved it. Its a time machine, one episode at a time. My generation, late 70's and 80's born and raised, will love it, for the nostalgia, and for the rich, lovable charaters, cared direction, impecable script. Thums um.",9 "I honestly wanted to leave, this movie litterly goes nowhere! Every scene has you thinking ""where are they going with this"" Eventually i stopped caring and started to get angry as everything got dragged out. The acting is top notch, the story is almost non existant...",3 "When I first watched this show I described it to others as what would really happen if superheroes existed. However Butcher using a laser eyed baby as a weapon takes away from the realism just a bit. Great show which is satirical and pokes fun at not only the superhero genre but also includes takes on important sociopolitical issues. It's extremely bizarre, fully self aware and insanely messed up, but keeps you absolutely hooked into the world of Vought and the Boys. Antony Starr deserves all of the praise for his fantastic portrayal of one of the most well written villains out there. Crazy gory and at times hard to watch, but it definitely keeps you on your toes because it's not predictable or like other shows that revolve around superheroes. The first season worked as a relatively contained story and might be the best season. Two and three keep managing to up the stakes but that's what makes it lose its grounding a little bit. It will be a tough task to contain it again for season 4. Definitely one of the most interesting shows out there and a worthy addition to the otherwise oversaturated supe genre.",8 "As one of the most anticipated films of the year, Barbie has managed to meet all audience expectations -especially cinephiles - and make it the most daring film of the year. Director Greta Gerwig (supported by screenwriter Noah Baumbach) doesn't just deliver a successful portrayal of all aspects of this popular icon: colorful set designs, stunning costumes and make-up, great music (they all sing!), the history of the Barbie doll, but also social commentary and philosophical analysis on existentialism, patriarchy, feminism, diversity, inclusion and all that packaged in sarcasm in the modern sense. As a film, Barbie delivers it all: fun, excitement and seriousness. The casting of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken is also the right choice. Barbie reminds us again that summer box office hits can be really fun and good.",9 "Horrifyingly predictable, unoriginal, drawn out with an abundance of under and over acting. I don't even know how to justify the 3 stars to be honest.",3 "Maybe I'm just not snobby enough, or maybe I expect to be entertained when I pay the kind of money that movies cost today!! On both accounts, I feel totally ripped off!!! I suppose the message was making fun of rich/eccentric idiots? I don't know, someone is going to have to explain WTF I just saw. It was horrible! When I saw the trailer, I couldn't figure out how they'd make a 2 hour movie from simply eating dinner - my initial instincts were correct - YOU CAN'T!! With the exception of a few laughable scenes, overall it was painfully slow, boring and void of any interesting plot or characters. I would have walked out, if I hadn't agreed to go with a friend. RECOMMENDATION: Skip it! I'd rather watch paint dry....",3 A fun escapist movie. A Ryan Reynolds fun action thriller much like dead pool without the masks. With a special cameo from aviation gin,7 "About halfway through the first season and not sure how much longer I can take it... the fast forward button is getting used more and more often. I blame the writers - this season could have been told in 8 episodes or less. Every good writer knows that every scene has to accomplish several thing at once - the two most important being character development and advancing the story. This show repeatedly gets bogged down in character development - 5 minutes of two guys talking about guitars and how they met their wives??? - that has nothing to do with the story or plot; so it just sits there, dead in the water. Don't get me wrong - I loved The Killing, which is also glacially paced, but at least they managed to maintain some tension. If they're planning a second season, they'd better hire better writers who understand the basics of storytelling.",3 Not funny few easter eggs bht other than that needs other films and spoliers to amke it intresting feels like a tv show to slowly realse spoilers for other films,1 "My husband and I had heard so many good things before we went to see this movie that our expectations were probably a little too high and thus we were a tad disappointed. It is certainly a funny and entertaining movie, but the potty humor can get a little old, and the parts with the two police officers seemed so much more broad than the rest of the movie that every time they cut to a scene with them, I felt like I was watching a different style of comedy. The best part of the movie is the three main characters. Their performances were great and you really cared about them as characters, which involved you in the story. The story does however get protracted and go on a little too long at the end. Overall though I'd say very good but not as great as many have said.",7 It's an awful stitched together mess. Horrible dialogue and atrocious camera work makes for one of the worst movies of 2019. To be fair some of the action sequences are pretty badass but that's it. It's that bad.,3 "The Great: Jenny Ortega's performance here brings a little more depth to the character than we've never seen before. It's as if she was born to play Wednesday. Production value from design, costumes, props and the like are all top-notch. Excellent score from Danny Elfman, of course. The Not so Great: Fairly predictable story arc, some plot holes, most of the supporting characters are two dimensional and serve no other purpose other than to be a foil to the main character (they really have no life or backstory). Lastly, the mother/daughter rift between Wednesday and Morticia just didn't sit well with me. The Addams always was, and always should be a close knit family. The Ick: The dialogue. Really, does every single sentence Wednesday say to a male character have to include: patriarchy, mansplaining, toxic masculinity coupled with threats of bodily harm? I get it, she's all about girl power but it gets really cringey after the 50th time. Result: A solid 7 and worthy of a second season.",7 "Wednesday is not herself. They ruined her... and not in good way. They've dictated it's okay to say the B word and other bad words, but Wednesday can be ""the Horrible Mean, Boss, little girl. Instead she's saying please and thanking you, begging for boys and other. I mean come on, they ruined the whole point of Wednesday... The animated Addams family, had much better impression of Wednesday. It seams like Netflix it's just going through this weird face of school, teens, girls drama. Like the school good and evil... I couldn't even make it to 3eps without being disappointed of how ironic Wednesday is..",2 Big fan of Quentin but I wouldn't have watched this movie if it weren't for the cast. Well done but slow and pointless. Glad I saw it for free because I would have been upset if I'd paid money for it. Shame. Waste of time for all that talent as well.,5 "This is a great show all in all, a joy to watch….. I like the main family (the father), he marries this loud Latina, lives with her passionate little boy, Manny. The three of them create quite a hilarious family with a lot of laugh. Then comes the son's (gay partnership) family, you can almost feel the normality of this arrangement and somehow forget that gay partnership arrangement used to be a taboo, I am glad that they set it up like this rather than the conventional husband-wife scenario. These guys are funny. They complement each other very well.. then there is the Dunphy family, I like father Dunply, he is the best comedian of all the Dunphys follow by his little boy… the only casting I am not convince is Sarah Hyland as Haley, I don't know, just feel that maybe someone taller and older could better play the character especially since Haley does nothing but keep chasing after boys… and she wears too much make-up too.",8 It's very cliche series after season 1. S2 still bearable but s3 is just awful. Now I don't wanto see another season. Netflix please learn something from HBO & SHOWTIME.,5 "Great story and over the mark performances by entire cast. Heads off to Anurag Basu. Only you guys shouldn't have copied the bella ciao tune for the background music. Especially when the songs are so great. #stopcopyingbollywood",8 "Luckily for us ""Godfather II"" was filmed before CGI de-aging of main character. Young De Niro was great as young Vito Corleone. If there was CGI de-aging back in 70s i guess Marlon Brando could act both (old & young) versions, but i believe movie would lose a lot of its magic. Don't get me wrong, CGI is great for some movies, but in this case it works against story instead of helping it. For me story and acting was completely lost due to CGI face flattening. De Niro can act with eyes alone, but they changed his eyes as well. I really felt sad watching great actors as they try to tell us interesting story, but i could help noticing how they all look like wax figurines, motionless and lifeless.",5 "Good series but somewhere along the way I got bored.... Not sure where but it definitely looses momentum. Not sure if I'd watch S2 as I struggled to even finish the season final. Give it a shot though (He says half heartedly.$",6 "Forgiving, for a moment, that this is Mr. Nicholas Stoller's first attempt at directing, we can say, with all honesty, that this attempt is also as easily forgettable. With Jason Segel who on par with Vince Vaughn as to total charisma by-pass, this laid out road map of a movie is at least amusing to the extremes of bewilderment as to ask what was the point? Set in the lush location of Hawaii, this beautiful island is more looking like the flotsam and jetsam of bad scripts, limited efforts' and a weak plot to the point of sheer tedium. There is a level of predictability in, certain, movies that when having crossed a certain level, usually the lowest, then turns any movie into outright worthlessness, Forgetting Sarah Marshall falls snugly into this description, too. Predictability, here, is the name of the game, added with the dull, and more than often, painful dialogue, this all to obvious direction throughout is seen as lazy or just plain unimaginative. With little attempt to convey any higher ground of thought to the narrative, this stance leaves nothing but an open road with no turns, twists, slip roads and bends to excite and planning this journey can be so easily done with ones eyes closed, such is the obvious horizons' that this film projects. Then, apart from the shady editing, being choppy at best, in other places very poor, in particular during the conversation between Aldous Snow and Matthew the Waiter and the demo disc. There is too the gags; simple, cold and listless, with comedy it needs a character, a character with persona, wit and timing, this lifeless, dull and time wasting exercise deals no punches and only solidifies itself in a similar vain to a petrified forest. The only redeeming artifice here is the wit of one Russell Brand, who seems to have the best lines here too, and with this self loving man of free love, and too, the newly-weds of desperation, is the films only real redemption. It really is a pity that this characterisation was not carried off to other members of the cast, otherwise, this may have faired well in the road to recovery, instead it is well worth remembering that it only takes a slight wrong turn and very quickly ends up looking like road kill.",2 "Is Stranger Things the best show of the last decade? No. Is Stranger Things the best show ever? No. Is it a great show and a modern classic that will be talked about for a long time? Sure is. While the show has certainly its own issues, none of them stop the series being a heartfelt coming-of-age story, that somehow offers something for everyone. You like teenage drama, you'll get teenage drama. Like eldritch horrors, you'll get eldritch horrors and so on. The actors are easily the highlight, with every single one of them absolutely slaughtering their roles. The writing might not always be amazing, but the acting, at least most of the time, makes up for it enough.",9 "Is this the greatest show that has ever been made? No, but it is entertaining, and that's good enough for me. I read one review that suggested that Dr. Smith is the worst. Good, she's doing her job as an actress. What? You don't like the bad guy? Isn't that a good thing? Another said they love Sci-fi, but then complained about the fiction. If you just want to watch a light hearted show that you will start to feel a connection with, this might just be your cup of tea.",9 "Just wrong, acting, script and cast! When johnny depp showed up the entire cinema laughed , bet thats not the reaction they wanted after they thought they scored themselves an A-lister. It does look good A+ for set design and background the rest is bad bad bad.",2 "This movie is not going to stick. There is little character developing which made me stay detached from the story. The fighting scenes are okay. A lot of repetition when it comes to the same fighting sequence. The storyline is shallow and little exciting. Extraction is a movie where people are constantly shooting at each other. It gets a bit boring throughout the movie. The end is sadly not satisfactory. Chris Hemsworth was quite believable and he portrayed his character nicely. It was a pleasant surprise to see David Harbour make his appearance as well. Great actor! 6 stars for, but only for Hemsworth and Harbour not for the story.",6 "Here's the story. A local moronic tough guy, and his cohorts, break into a guy's house and steal his car and kill his puppy. The guy gathers up all of his weapons and goes out to public venues and slaughters people for revenge. How often have we heard this story? Of course in real life the venues are shopping malls, schools or clubs and the perpetrator is usually portrayed as a troubled, loner. John Wick in this movie is a hero who killed a bunch of bad guys with precise placement of bullets. Of course in real life the bullets are sprayed helter-skelter, by a sideways held gun, and often kill innocent bystanders or children. The fact that bullets, when they miss the intended target, don't dissipate into thin air seems to be lost to many people. There are innocent people slaughtered daily due to perceived social slights and minor insults resolved with gun violence and this movie glorifies widespread killing. Obviously I found this movie disturbing. I can see a movie like this and be disturbed by the message but others, maybe of marginal mental capacities, ingest the message as righteous behavior. A recent local road rage incident was in the news where a high school graduate was shot in the head over lane merging jockeying. And this movie, promoting vigilante gun violence, was praised by critics. What the hell is wrong with this country?",2 "Awesome Cinematography. CGI looks really good. NOT overtly woke &/or preachy. That being said, the acting is more of a mixed bag. Milly Alcock, as young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, comes across as being wooden at best. Nevertheless, Paddy Considine as Viserys I is quite convincing. Matt Smith is his usual self. No issue there. My biggest issue however is with the overarching storyline, which shares the same nihilistic trope of 'subversion' with the now (in)famous OG series. Don't know how long will it keep the audience engaged, at least those who know how it all ends. P. S. Having low expectations will enhance the viewing experience. Lol.",8 "Visually stunning at times, (considering they had to make a Gotham City with out using the real thing)otherwise, slow, lumbering, lethargic, probably pre-diabetic and in need of exercise, this bloated mess is a sad end to a franchise that has seen better days. At least the first two times around it was fun....(and I mean the Batman of '67 and '89 respectively) This version sent me scurrying to the computer to see if my thoughts of ""terrible movie"" were valid. But I suppose like anything you could find people on both sides. It's only the ones that say 'it's crap' are the ones I'm paying attention to.",4 "In its first two seasons, Hannibal is a visually stunning, disturbing thriller with decent actors and an unnerving soundtrack. Ultimately, however, it relies too heavily on thin characterization to keep us guessing. Dr. Lecter is little more than a cultured manipulator who plays gruesome games out of boredom. I suppose we are meant to admire or fear him for his intellect and artistry, but the thrill he seems to glean from outwitting the dimwitted is simply childish, and his cannibalism is an obvious metaphor for the insatiable appetite and savagery that (ironically) enslave him, despite his highbrow pretensions. Criminal profiler Will Graham should see through Dr. Lecter instantly and have the upper hand simply because his imagination frees him from the need to actually kill anyone. Instead, the writers keep Will in a perpetual state of instability, as if his empathy and asocial tendencies automatically compromise his sanity when, realistically, he would be least susceptible to Hannibal's machinations. Corpses form elegant tableaux for Will to interpret, and when, having entered the mind of the killer and reimagined his actions firsthand, he concludes, ""This is my design,"" the butcher has become an architect worthy of Will's consideration, if not ours. All of this seems to distract us from the realization that profiling criminals is not crossing any moral line. Will's efforts to help the FBI catch each culprit are actually selfless, but we see a parade of judgmental, morally compromised characters convince him otherwise. In the end, I am not sure what actually motivates anyone other than a script that casually sacrifices its most sympathetic characters for a plot drowned in infinite death and gloom. Anyone clinging to reality or their own sanity might question why serial killers with artistic inclinations abound or why law enforcement must engage in elaborate, soul- crushing exercises to catch irredeemable monsters. The rest of the audience is too struck by two attractive men in the same room to interpret Hannibal and Will's exchanges as anything but foreplay. For the less imaginative, watching Hannibal is not a pleasant experience. The directors, writers, actors, and producers deserve credit for bringing such a nightmare to network television. They have managed to trump Thomas Harris' novel of the same name, which is possibly the vilest piece of fiction I have ever read. I am not sure whether that achievement is praiseworthy, but I may lack the masochism needed to keep watching.",6 "I was really looking forward to this movie, along with presumably everyone else in a packed theatre at a late night showing on opening weekend, who had probably read the reviews and swallowed the hype like me. Firstly let me say that this was very dark humour that delivered genuine laugh out aloud moments at the sheer absurdity of some of the lines. Frances McDormand was excellent as the crazed, grief stricken mother. Woody Harrelson was very good and Peter Dinklage made the most of his couple of scenes. But really the plotlines were very silly and smashed any semblance of credibility, and in the end that just becomes a distraction. Too many silly coincidences. Overall this is an ok movie and it did have funny moments.",5 "I expected a lot more from this series. It has been filmed beautifully. However, it would have been better being a film as the storyline isn't long enough for a series. It's been stretched out with long scenes of landscapes etc and the background music does get irritating after a while. There are also long scenes with discussions on quantum physics and philosophy. I felt like some of the ideas had been taken from other films/ series covering this topic. I only watched it until the end, to see if it had satisfactory conclusion. It didn't. Well that's time I won't get back! That's not a pun either. Go and watch something else.",2 "7/10 - regardless of my religious views, I am a sucker for a true story - that being said, some elements of the true story came off as corny in this film adaptation (not to mention how irritating Chrissy Metz's character got by the end of the film (trying to outsmart the doctors, blatant disrespect of all, etc.) that it got hard to empathize for her)",7 "Very nice movie and realy good for your eyes, i don't know what to say...",4 "Best pyscho thriller movie of the year Pros Direction BGM Screenplay Cons None for me.",10 "Yesterday it was premiere and time for the second big superhero film this year, Captain America Civil War. I really like Captain America as a superhero, mostly due to his lack of over powerful strength. He is a soldier who during WWII, was subjected to experiments intended to make him a super soldier. The result was superhuman powers but nowhere near the likes of Superman or the Hulk. Frozen down and later awaken in present day earth, he struggles to adapt in modern society where everyone he has known or loved, is gone. In Civil War he is pinned against Iron Man. The government of the USA, forces the Avengers to sign a contract stating that they have to obey and work under supervision of the leaders of the world. Iron Man is convinced that it is the right thing to do while Captain claims that they will be forced to do things they don't want to. I really liked Captain America Civil War and I would say that it is one of Marvel's and overall among the best superhero films ever made. Forget Superman's or the Avenger films' extremely over powerful enemies that practically can erase the earth with a wind blow. Here it is brains before muscles and I like it. The film practically has more in common with James Bond and the Mission Impossible films, than with other superhero films. The spy theme is pretty constant throughout the film, with for example a hunt for a terrorist through several countries. There is also focus on terror acts which feels both modern and disturbing considering today's world situation. The other thing that the film does really well is balancing the characters. Civil War contains a lot of superheroes and it is at times hard to keep track on everyone. But with finesse and a prioritized focus, they choose which ones will run the story and which ones will figure as background characters. Very smart and thought-out. With most focus on Captain America and then Iron Man, they succeed much better than the previous Avenger films and most of all the latest Batman V Superman. The biggest question we all had before the film was, how will they put Captain America against Iron Man? Where Batman V Superman totally failed to motivate why those two giants would even fight each other, here they succeeded better from an even more difficult position because Captain America and Iron Man are friends that becomes enemies due to ideological and psychological differences. Overall the characters' actions are really well motivated. They have worked hard on giving every character a believable back story that drives them forward. Aside from the main conflicts and the superheroes, it is an incredibly well made film. The battle between the superheroes is so good looking and well choreographed that I can't think of an equal. Also the tempo and editing of the film works well towards it pretty long but still good runtime. The film constantly moves closer to the truth with small surprise moments and turning points along the way. It is perhaps necessary to have watched some of the other Marvel films before this one, but I still think that this works well on its own and that you should definitely take the chance to watch it in the cinemas because it is really exciting, good looking and well made David Lindahl - www.filmografen.se",8 "Utterly Forgettable Cliche-Ridden Formulaic Bombastic Schlock - this is the best description of this awful movie. What can go possibly wrong here? I say - seemingly everything in thus eerie cheesy childish silly shallow jingoistic war-mogering too patriotic to be true effort. Tom Cruise is just him again - same look, same pathetic style. Not even a touch of good self-deprecating humor like he does in Mission Impossible franchise. The casting is OK...but the dialog is so bad, you cannot believe your own ears. Callous, dry, pathetic, kiddish and shallow. The plot is just a patriotic game to the excess. The aerial shots are the only great things here. The very utter impossibility of the whole premises seems laughable. Not even Jennifer or Val could save this from a bombing down utterly. Tom is wrong here, very wrong and on the false slide. Trajectory chosen is fairly silly. Watch it once and discard.",2 "Awful awful. I shall start with the good. The CGI was fantastic and James Franco is a great actor. That is where it ends. I wasn't expecting to see gritty realism but even when it comes to a film such as this there has to be boundaries. For a start the storyline was weak. The ending was only an ending because it had credits after it. There was nothing conclusive about the final scenes. Without wanting to give too much away, the apes had an answer for everything which means the film could have gone on forever! It was like a very bad superhero/romantic/action/sci fi thing? From my point of view a combination of these genres does not make for a good film! To sum up don't go if you want to be gripped. If you want a mindless, ridiculous film then perhaps consider.",5 Screenplay is good enough and so is the action. But the story - blend and senseless. You'll regret watching this film.,3 "I was going through a rough face in life. Then I saw Ludo, really it detoxfied me and brought a very positive energy. Guys Wath this movie, you won't regret it, in fact you to",10 "Yes, I see the actual plot and hidden mystery were ahead of the storytelling.. But the camera work was a bit gimmicking. The length of the movie is big and sometimes there was too much unwanted drama. This could have been tight and neat. Cinematography was poor and I would have liked to watch this movie with a bit darkness. The movie has a reference of famous psychological thriller Psycho and it unravels as the film proceeds. Watch if you like Drama and want a good taste of Psychological Thriller.",7 "The first season was okay? The rest.... Had very high expectations, but none came true.",1 "When Tarantino fails he really fails . If not for Leo and Brad's acting chops I probably would have left the theater 30 minutes in. This melange of the 50's, 60's and 70's gloomy days of Hollywood just doesn't go anywhere. If you are looking for any action...wrong movie, minus the last 8 minutes. Definitely not a Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill. Great acting!",3 "No words can sum up this show other than trash. It pretends to have meaning and some grander purpose in the story it wants to tell. But it's nothing but empty and shallow and self absorbed. The only thing this show wanted to do was to create shock value. Can anyone really sit there and tell me one thing that this show raises awareness of? And no it doesn't raise awareness of suicide and depression, it glorifies and romanticises it into something it really isn't. I highly recommend and hope that anyone who is really suffering with problems like that never watches this show. Also Christ, what the hell was that last season? Sums up there was no aim other than to make money with this show.",1 "I'm not wholly sure why I don't like this film, but I really don't. I think that it tried too hard to be clever, and I clearly didn't 'get it' There is nothing wrong with the cast, I like them all and there's no one I would single out as having an 'off day' or providing a poor performance. There are many twists and turns in the script, which I would normally approve of but I'm not sure that the lack of a story is the problem. The main story is unnecessarily convoluted with a condescending need to re-cap events and explain how you were misdirected the first time you saw this. When the director keeps showing me something and then saying that wasn't what happened it doesn't take long for me to stop caring about what just happened. The result is a film that's much too long and takes far too long to get to the point so that when the final twist did happen I just didn't care anymore. I was intrigued by the great trailer for this film, but it over-sells the actual film which was very disappointing.",2 "That British- and Australian-born creatives think they can pull off a South African accent, and proceed to write and perform a South African story is delusional. As a movie it's clever. But I find the hubris astounding and thus strips all authenticity from what are South African heroes whose own heritage would have them so ashamed they were compelled to this action. Careful when you negate the true message for the sake of a few familiar faces.",4 "Totally at a loss for words...Kaithi is the movie that cannot be reviewed but only experienced.

N.",10 """The Godfather Part II"", made in 1974, is the sequel to the movie ""The Godfather"", made in 1972. It's the dark and tragic story of a Sicilian mafia family, the Corleones. It's an amazing film that I consider to be superior to the first and one of the best films of all time. It starts with a 9 year old Vito Corleone, A.K.A. 'The Godfather"", the future head of the Corleone crime family. He is in Sicily at his father's funeral, who had been murdered by the local mafia. At the funeral Vito's older brother is also killed, and the mafia chief is determined to murder Vito too. His mother begs for his freedom, but the mafia chief knows that if he lets him go, Vito will one day come back for revenge. Vito's mother bravely picks up a knife and holds it to the chief's throat, allowing him to escape, but she is quickly gunned down. Vito then immigrates to New York and arrives at Ellis Island. The movie then flashes forward through time and the darker story of his son, Michael Corleone, begins. The movie then starts to alternate between the stories of Vito Corleone as he rises in the New York Mafia in the 1920's, and Michael Corleone as he struggles to maintain his father's empire in the late 50's. So it acts as both a prequel and a sequel. I thought that this was the most interesting part of the film, because you see how Vito started with nothing and built an empire, while Michael starts with this empire and has to keep it all from crumbling. Another thing that you see throughout the film is the extreme transformation of the character of Michael. In just a few years, he had become more brutal and ruthless than Vito ever was. You see just how corrupted Michael had become when he does something at the end that is horrifying and unforgivable. That's the point when his job and corruption from power had driven him to do something that destroys his family and himself. Another strong part of the film is its performances. The movie dominated the Academy Awards nominations for Best Supporting Actor/Actress, with Robert De Niro (Vito Corleone), Michael V. Gazzo (Frank Pentangeli), Talia Shire (Connie Corleone), and Lee Strasberg (Hyman Roth) all nominated for that category, and Al Pacino (Michael Corleone) nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Robert De Niro was the one awarded the Oscar, one of the many awards that the film has been given. Robert De Niro was also awarded an Oscar for his performance as the character). Al Pacino also did a great job of portraying the change of his character from the first film and throughout this one. He went from a young WWII veteran trying to break away from his family's ""business"" to being the country's most powerful mob bosses. All of these things are what make the movie a masterpiece. It won many awards, including Best Picture at the 1974 Academy Awards. The characters are great, which is helped by the award-winning performances of the actors. The two alternating stories are what made the movie so much more interesting than the first. It's currently number 32 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years…100 Movies list, and number 3 on IMDb's top 250 movies list. I agree with the reviews, and I think that it is one of the greatest films ever made.",10 "OK, I don't usual post comments or my own opinions here, but this movie definitely deserved my songs of praise. I loved every single aspect of this movie, the slapstick humour was at times, unbearably funny... the cgi and action sequences were on a par with the matrix (just looked better in KFH to me with the amazing Asian art direction) the characters and acting were just awesome. i LOVED this movie. my dad recommended i watch chows previous films (god of cookery, shaolin soccer etc) which i did at the first opportunity and i have to say, I'm now chow's number 1 fan. I REALLY hope this gets the US/EU release it deserves.... first movie ever on IMDb to get a solid 10/10 from me.",10 "Why o why use Samuel L Jackson. Not only unpleasant, but also unlikable. World's worst actor. Skip skip skip. Everyone else was great, just him OMG ..... terrible",4 "I really like the dad; everyone else on the cast is extremely unlikable. The mom in particular, don't know if it's just the actress or the way her lines were written, but she is a smug know-it-all with no redeeming qualities. It was really weird that the one kid is like a trained MD. Even the robot is cold and unlikable. The failure of this show is part of a disturbing pattern I've observed from Netflix as time has gone on. Netflix seems to be more interested in promoting an agenda. At this point, I wish they would just get bought out and get it over with. Defenders especially has just gone off the rails. Did we really need more seasons of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage? What are they accomplishing? Very, very disappointing.",1 "Dont take me wrong this is a really good series and i enjoyd watching it. But would i re-watch again? No. Would you rewatch it again? This is not the best show ever made and its not a 9,6/10.. its at best and 8. And 8 is really good. But 10/10 would mean ''out of this world''. Wich it is not. Got season 1-4.. thats a 10/10. I could watch that show from season1-7 over and over again. I would never want to sit and watch this over and over again. So thats why for me its an 8/10.",8 "If you like the comics, this is a wild ride of fun and crazy nonsense in a good way. Carnage is straight out of the comics in this move and I could not be more happy. The music added so much to carnage, it's something I didn't know he needed. PLEASE WATCH THIS MOVIE FOR A FUN RIDE OF GOOD NONSENSE.",10 "It's a by-the-book anti-hero action movie. I guess what makes this one superior to its predecessor is the comedic patter between Venom and Eddie. But even that gets, shall we say, overly abundant. And, without subtitles, a good deal of Venom's dialogue is hard to understand because of how his voice is processed. The cast is along for the ride - so points for people working for that studio money. Although I could have done without the product placement. Why not just call the chickens ""Sony and Cher""? That would have been a much more apropos and funnier tie-in. My biggest problem is the CGI. It just looks quite video gamey and out of sync with the world of the movie - which is odd since Serkis is usually a master of bringing synthetic cinematics to live. I suppose it is more the appearance rather than performance that breaks the illusion for me. It was constantly on my mind while watching them that Venom and Carnage looked drawn ON the film space but not organically IN the film space. Otherwise, it is mostly mindless brain-eating fun. Oh, and Woody Harrelson's hairpiece is also distractingly not of this or any other world. I hope it is the next Klyntar in the series.",6 "My experience was going from ""what's going on"" and the occasional giggle, to ""ok that's a cool idea"" to i can't stand this anymore. It's an unnecessarily overly complex movie to convey a very simple idea. I get the appeal of the stylistic choices and the creativity involved, but it's not my cup of tea. It looks good and promising on the first 30 minutes, but after that it's actually more and more painful to watch and not funny anymore. Speaking about the creativity, i never thought I'd say this ever, but it's too much. Just too silly, too ridiculous and off putting. Like the people behind it did everything they could to do something they deem ""original"", very forcefully, in a very unnatural way. In a way, it kind of reminds me of Tenet by Christopher Nolan, which was much better than this one, but still has that extra degree of complexity just for the sake of trying to be original. It doesn't work in that film either. A good example where this was done flawlessly is The Matrix. I'd say this movie is the representation of the exact theme the movie tries to present a solution to, Nihilism. The world is so devoid of values, people are so confused, original work and ideas are thrown out the window in Hollywood in favour of money-making dumbed down movies, they don't know what else to make to be original, the desperation is very clear when they awarded this the Oscar for best picture. I will never forget this movie, but will try to, and will never revisit it again. Not worth the watch not even to satisfy curiosity. Skip it entirely.",4 I saw this when it came out in the cinemas because I love this sort of film but i was disappointed to find I hated it - deeply... but everyone I knew thought it was the bee's knees! I recently watched it again to check that I hadn't missed something. Sometimes you have to give films a second chance - no - had the same response. Utter rubbish. But everyone else seemed to love it. I had to actually search these reviews to check I wasn't the only one on the planet who didn't think this was a masterpiece. I am relieved to see many views similar to mine. Utter rubbish - tries to ramp up the tension but the characters are completely unlikeable. Boring dreams - dull performances - really irritating noisey soundtrack that drowns our the dialogue. Terrible and overrated - never thought dreams could be so boring...zzzzzzzzzzzzz,1 The intro was way to long with stupid music in the background so i wasn't pleased off the get go. Everyone was shouting all the time witch was so frustrating. The film literally had no story it was utter garbage,2 "The series lacks in the only two things that made me wait so long for the episodes: It doesn't look like Tim Burton is behind it and it doesn't even look like it's from The Addams Family... The protagonist is contradicted by other characters and all of this doesn't make her the Wednesday we know. What turns out, unfortunately, is just a teen drama/mystery that's still entertaining, I'll admit. The technical level isn't bad either, the Cgi a bit poor but not in all the scenes. But from a series on Wednesday Addams with Tim Burton directing and producing I would have expected more. What a great pity.",6 "The story is bad written. Likle really bad. Like by someone who doesn't know how to put down a story to make it logical and understandable. The characters are cringy, lacking of back stories, and constantly embarassing you and themselves with weak comedy. Sincerelly I do not understand how a producer could accept to release such a piece of crap, with absolutely no regard for the audience, left to an incomplete plot, and for the original story, with Venom transformed into a weak shadow of the original monster. If you don't know how to write a screenplay go pick up potatoes on the fields.",2 "Best comedy movie after andhadhun in bollywood,i didnt expected ,but it came out to be surprise,the story pace is very fast",10 I'm literally addicted to this show. I love the characters and storyline. I am binge watching it AGAIN,10 "Characters uninteresting, lots of over-acting, not sure how anyone made it past the first episode.",1 "Finally a vampires and witches etc that we can believe in, intelligent storytelling. Loving the history",10 "Each and every character has done well.... everyone is awesome. Specifically for the first time I felll in love with Aditya Roy Kapoor. I felt that he needs good director. For God sake Aditya choose good characters who can can make you act. You are handsome but you need good cultivator. As usual and as expected Raj Kumar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi remains the best...the best. Sanya Malohtra, sana Shaikh, Abhishek Bachchan, Rohit suresh, Pearley Maaney,Shalini vatsa is also amazing...just liked it Mr. Basu - yamraj ji",8 "Outspoken student Marianne Sheridan (Daisy Edgar-Jones) is an outcast at school. Connell Waldron (Paul Mescal) is the quiet popular jock. His mother works as a cleaning lady in the Sheridan's large family home. The two Irish teens have a secret sexual relationship but he refuses to acknowledge her in public. Their lives and loves would intertwine over the years. I have to be really honest. I was a little unconvinced at first. The actors are too old to play teens. Both characters have issues that put me off. Marianne is too bitter. Connell is too quiet and his treatment of her is emotionally brutal. By the fourth episode, the age thing stops mattering. Quite frankly if I knew they would be aging up in the show, I wouldn't sweat that issue. As for these characters, they really grow on me, both as roles and the actors. These young new faces are truly engaging and they are beautiful to boot. As characters, there are emotions beneath that are really worthwhile to explore. They become more and more fully formed people and that's the brilliance of this limited series. These are great characters performed by compelling new faces.",8 Get past the bizarre first 3 episodes (they are intentionally bizarre) and you will be rewarded in ep 4 and 5! And the show pulls it all together brilliantly if you turned off after the first couple then you really should pick the show back up.,8 "There is a truly brilliant movie buried within the ponderousness and self-importance that weighs down ""Interstellar."" Director and co- writer Christopher Nolan has never disappointed with regard to stunning visuals and design -- give this guy a big budget, and he puts it all on screen in spectacular fashion. Unfortunately, he doesn't have as sure a hand with regard to audio quality. Whatever audio effects (or affectations) he goes for, not for the first time in a Nolan film, render some of the dialogue unintelligible. Given some the of more hackneyed and overwrought dialogue that is intelligible, maybe that's for the best. I wouldn't suggest watching ""Interstellar"" with the sound turned down because the parts with dialogue that drag would be interminable -- plus, we'd miss Hans Zimmer's terrific score -- but the first 30 minutes or so might be improved by the sound of silence. For one thing, Matthew McConaughey's irritating, overly emotive, actorly performance is most painful in the film's early scenes. He gets better and less annoying as the film progresses, partly because the screenplay stops burdening his character (""Coop,"" for Cooper -- ugh) with carrying the burden of mankind's horrible mistakes in his drawling delivery. For the record, I don't dislike McConaughey as an actor generally -- he's done some fine work along with some inconsequential drivel -- but he chose here to embrace Coop's dourness and disappointment in a way that helps throw the film off- balance, while his down-home supposed lack of pretension just gets tiresome. I have little doubt that he delivered exactly what Nolan wanted, and what Nolan wanted is the real problem. The rest of the cast fairs much better, though I do wonder how sick Michael Caine must have become at the mention of Dylan Thomas's name. There is a bit of what might be considered stunt casting involving a major Hollywood star who shows up for a pivotal development in our heroes' search for a habitable planet, but far from being distracting or beside-the-point, it helps make for the film's tensest, most gripping and emotionally resonant scenes. While there are other set-pieces that almost get to that level, the odd pacing and sheer weightiness of a film that takes gravity as its main topic ultimately makes this a frustrating watch, if only because it's so beautiful and has so many jumbled ideas that it's easy to imagine it being so much better than it is.",6 "I don't know how they managed to turn a scary, interesting show into a teen comedy. I sucks that they ruined one of my favorite shows.",8 I watched the first episode and i liked it but the second and the thered is about the same case and the same story like just move for the next case i am not gonna watch multiple episodes about the same case,4 "Slow. When something finally happened, it was uneventful. Had a good reputation. Sad.",2 "The story has a good premise, it will easily appeal to younger viewers and parents, and while it seems to drag in several cases with repeatable and predictable themes, it renders a positive sum. The acting is not stellar but generally good, the direction quite smooth and while the production and photography aren't going to feel Blockbuster level, they are at a decent level of quality. The story is about what every teenager goes through in high school at the darkest versions of it, and especially the female experience of it, during dramatic physical abuse. It does not get a Nobel prize in psychotherapy, and it several cases it does seem unfair to certain characters but ultimately it admits nobody is perfect.",8 "An excellent series must watch by every one.... If ur an dark lover , I will definitely recommend this to you , but one drawback is in every season there will be an boring episode Expect that every thing is good..",9 "It was really a stupid movie, the movie industry has become so stupid that actors are selected only based on their Instagram fame and the world of Hollywood cinema accepts this, there is a documentary called Fake Famous made by Nick Bilton which explains and shows this in practice. That they make someone famous on Instagram and he gets acting roles in the movie industry, when I was watching this movie, that documentary was right in front of my eyes (it is interesting that there is a part in the movie itself that confirms my words that the role of Hunter In the movie, starring Virginia Gardner, one of the famous Instagram celebrities who, for example, wants to get more likes on Instagram with her body, apart from the awful acting, the movie does not have any story, and only tries with scary text music and silly scenes. The audience is afraid of the body and it's really a waste of time to watch this movie. When I was watching the movie, I was so bored that I just wanted to skip the different scenes to take up less of my time, but it was not interesting at all. I do not recommend the movie to anyone and I give the movie a score of 20 out of 100.",2 "Yo what up CAP! And the 6 episodes finally ended today. Quite a short journey we have had. Basically it's Winter Soldier fighting other winter soldiers and Falcon finding his new identity. The most enjoyable part was of course Falcon and Winter Soldier. The duo had great chemistry and comedy. Also, most of the character were complex, as they had to deal with their demons, or fight for their own ideals. These characters divide fans and created some fun discussions online. The actions also were pretty good throughout, especially the opening scene on the plane in the desert. The cap shield was used a lot more in this series like a boomerang, which was fun. My problem was one of the small plot about the Power Broker. This plot was barely touched upon, and when the twist came, there's almost no effect. Overall, an entertaining and fun thriller that continues phase 4. 8/10.",8 "After realizing I have just reviewed the first movie, I realized I should do the 2nd! Out of Coppola's work that I have seen thus far, this is my favorite. This is quite ironic because upon my 1st viewing, I thought it was the weakest of the trilogy. It may seem insane to rate this above the first, but Richard Roeper calls this his favorite movie.(See IMDB's trivia page for him.) Now WHY do I like this above the other? Hmmm..I have a hard time explaining that. I think one thing is the quotes. ""My offer to you is this...nothing."" ""My Dad said you would always catch a fish if you said a Hail Mary.""(that's a paraphrase.) If I had to criticize something, it would be its length. Roger Ebert said ""no good movie is too long and no bad movie is too short."" I disagree with the first half. TGP2 is very good but it's also very long. At 202 minutes, the movie actually seem longer and I had to repeatedly stop the DVD to get through it. Luckily there is an intermission you can skip. Either way, I do think this is the best Coppola film and therefore-if you see the 1st movie before this, you will definitely thoroughly enjoy it!",10 "I never imagined this show will go so down. It's a melange between vampires saga, death walking saga and tik-tok. The writing is awful and is oriented to young adults, which is not my play. Everything till now is just a house drama with medieval costumes and lack of understanding. It looks like they have those great props and need some more money to pay for them. It seems there is no plot, no real objective and no understanding. If you were to prequel a successful series such as Game of Thrones you should have asked yourself what can i bring forward? In this case nothing. But maybe is me looking for higher standards.",4 "This show is not about The Avengers it's about S.H.E.I.L.D. S.H.E.I.L.D appear in most Marvel comics X-Men, Spiderman, Fantastic Four etc. This story is about their fight not the super heroes. If your watching this show because of the Avengers, you will probably be disappointed. The story is very straight forward, new technology is out there, the rich, powerful, individual's and organization's around the world are trying their best to get their hands on it. Of course there doing this illegally and of course the innocent will get caught in the cross fire. S.H.E.I.L.D's job is to protect the world form it's new reality, since the Avenger battle in New York. The general dialogue and interaction is not great, but the humor of Agent Coulson(Clark Gregg) is good and the dialogue improves in the more 'serious moments'. The character's and acting again have some positives and negatives, Agent Coulson is a treat to watch, the two main S.E.I.L.D agents are solid and I am optimistic about their development over the season. The rest are cliché in a bad way and very annoying, I'd have to get into spoiler's territory to explain in detail. It'll be interesting to see the how the grand scheme of the season develops(there better be one), I assume there will be an organisation or individual who will be the main focus down the line. Overall I think 7 is fair, I can't wait to see what the Agent's of S.H.E.I.L.D face next week.",7 "I gave this movie a 8 because It was entertaining and I didn't find it too predictable! I normally mystery movies are predictable but this kept me guessing about who would die and who did it. The person that dies in the beginning isnt even who I thought the mystery would be about! The movie also has a way of making 2 hours and 20 minutes feel like nothing, i never got bored or checked to see how long was left. Not to mention a all star cast this movie has it all. If they can keep this good streak the 3rd movie should be great. Im sure it will have a great cast like the ones before; we can only hope!",8 "Utterly horrible film! As bad as the predecessors ? ( I know of the first one, it was just as atrocious. ) People are feeling the back of their heads and grabbing for their wallets leaving the theatre on this doozy as they will feel like they have been mugged. Save yourself from being strong arm mugged, tell the kids to wait until it comes out on DVD and as bad as it was it will be released for DVD sales soon and don't let the theatre's rob you.",3 "It starts with a prologue: ""It is now the ninth year of King Viserys I Targaryen's reign"". ""172 years before the death of the Mad King, Aerys, and the birth of his daughter, Princess Daenerys Targaryen"" .It is said that the only two claims to succeed King Jaehaerys seriously considered at the Great Council of 101 were Rhaenys and Viserys. An intense epic concerning the internal succession war within House Targaryen at the height of its power, many years before the birth of Daenerys Targaryen. The Targaryen dynasty is at the absolute apex of its power, with more than 10 dragons under their yoke. Most empires crumble from such heights. In the case of the Targaryens, their slow fall begins when King Viserys (Paddy Considine) breaks with a century of tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock) heir to the Iron Throne. Viserys tells Rhaenyra that she must keep Aegon's secret just like every heir before her has done and he insists Rhaenyra must promise him that she will guard this secret. Rhaenrya is the third person to utter the iconic ""Dracarys"" line made famous by Daenerys (Game of thrones,2011), the second was Missandei and first was Daenerys herself. And Rhaenyra rides a yellow she-dragon named Syrax. But when Viserys later fathers a son, with the daughter (Emily Carey) of the king's hand, Ser Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir, and seeds of division sow friction across the realm, with intervention of ambicious aspirants to the throne as king's brother, Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) or Lord Corlys 'The Sea Snake' Velaryon (Steve Toussaint). At the beginning we see Gold Cloaks cutting the hands off of thieves at the command of Daemon. This is a spectacular epic dealing with friction nearly two hundred years before Game of Thrones (dealt with conflicts between the houses Stark, Lannister, Baratheon and Targaryen and with the remaining great houses Greyjoy, Tully, Arryn,Tyrell and Martell), now King Viserys of the House of Targaryen is the undisputed ruler of Westeros and surrounding lands, emerging a sucession dispute when the king names his daughter Rhaenyra as his heir; it sets in motion a series of events that many years in the future will lead to a bitter feud over who should sit on the Iron Throne. An impressive prequel dealing with inheritance disputes, court intrigues, treasons, in which political and sexual intrigue is pervasive ; all of them lead to full-scale war. Breathtaking epic version based on George R. R. Martin novels with exciting drama and overwhelming power fights, his stories are imaginatively brought to life on groundbreaking images with great production values and outstanding scenarios. To date, 18 episodes have been filmed. In the first episode Viserys hosts a tournament to celebrate the birth of his second child and Rhaenyra welcomes her Uncle Daemon back to the Red Keep. The title of the episode is directly taken from the chapter's title from the book ""Fire & Blood"", on which the show is based. Sword cross , intense drama, nudism , sexual scenes, great appearance of the giant dragons, and bloody fights abound in this spellbinding adaptation. Magnificent climatic battle scenes and struggles including lots of blood and gore ; and adding colorful computer generator images including the enormous firing dragons . The series is well written by an excellent plethora of screenwriters as Ryan J. Condal, Sara Hess, Fonseca, Kevin Lai , Ira Parker, Eileen Shim under supervision by the great creator George R. R. Martin. The series takes its name from the first novel in the book series ""A Game of Thrones"" - which is actually known as ""A Song of Ice and Fire"",and most of the show is largely faithful to the books . George R. R. Martin's story credit acknowledges the entire series under this title, rather than the title of individual volumes. Given that the series takes place almost 200 years before Juego de tronos (2011), the Dragon Pit , where the summit in The Dragon and the Wolf (2017) takes place, is not yet in ruins, but is instead one of King's Landing's major landmarks. George R. Martin was emotionally attached to the characters that he actually wrote and supervised the scripts. In Game of Thrones (2011) we see the City Watch, who are nicknamed ""Gold Cloaks"", in this series we see the origin of both the nickname and fashion choice. The music in the end credits is ""A Song of Ice and Fire"" by Ramin Djawadi, which is also the music from the closing credits of the series finale of ""Game of Thrones"".",7 "CGI looked beautiful but film fell totally flat. None of the emotion of the original and some of the voice actors were not very good. Have to agree with other reviewers, it was unnecessarily heavy on the Beyonce element. James Earl Jones was wonderful as always and I did like Timon and Pumba. Can't help but feel it was a bit of a waste of time really. What is the point of remaking a classic if you're not going to improve it?",3 "Can't we have ONE show that doesn't gratuitously interject wokism? And so many interject it in the SECOND season. We need ""trigger warnings"" if you're going to continue to do this. ENOUGH already. Too bad, because I was enjoying this otherwise innocent ""whodunnit"" series.",2 "One thing Tarantino is not: boring. Until now. This very pretty, atmospheric non-movie is so pointless, dull, badly written and endless that I barely made it through.",2 "After watching the first 30 minutes of the movie I still had no idea what is it's plot. Great car chase scenes, terrible everything else.",2 "I wonder who gave money for making this movie, dont even bother watching it. I already regret that I'll never get my 2 hours back that i wasted on this crap show. Just a series of action sequences with badly written wannabe witty lines ,no story. So disappointed that i had write this to save other people from this travesty.",1 "This was an oddball oil, to be sure. It had some magical moments. Very good dialogue, and expertly directed. The cast was amazing. The story was compelling, engaging, and fun. This entire film was fun, and what is film supposed to be, if not entertaining and fun? Bale was great as usual, and Robbie was radiant. Malik played a fascinating character. DeNiro. What can one say? His mere presence lifts up a film. I get why the reviews were mediocre. I think it was perhaps a bit too poetic and well written for the masses. And it had no marvel type nonsense either. It was just a good story, very well told, and the production was gorgeous.",8 "In order to achieve better understanding of Argo, it's needed to know more about the Iran Hostage Crises and at the first step we should know about the effect of this event on both American politics and public opinion. It wouldn't be far-fetched to claim that Argo is the most political production of Holly Wood in recent years, although it claims to tell the true story of the secretive CIA operation to rescue Six fugitive U.S. diplomats who received refuge from the Canadian ambassador, hiding and fearing their possible discovery and execution, but obviously it is a device to show off American Champion Husbandry hat rooted in American exceptional-ism and the belief that America's Success is due to its special genius. So Argo tries to replace the American bitter experience in the Iran hostage crises with the sense of honor and success, by trying to depict a prominent CIA operation in a heroic way. It is undeniable fact that this event had a high negative affect on American's mind about what they always brag about themselves. ""The United States Is responsible for Most of the Good in the World and American are fond of giving themselves credit for positive International developments…assuming that God is on their side""(StephenM.Walt 2011). According to this perspective and approach, we see after three years, In a May 1981 New York Times retrospective on the Iranian hostage crisis, A. M.Rosenthal ruminated about the effect captivity had had on the nation's psyche, he asked: ""Why the anger, the sense of mourning for those 52, who after all were government servants and expected to take risks when they served abroad? Who made the United States look like a clown?"" Then he argued that Americans mourned because ""not just the 52 but all Americans and worse still, our very government, had been taken captive and held in that embassy""(SCOTT 2000). In fact he tries to introduce the Iranian hostage crisis as an updated captivity narrative which emphasized the necessity of confrontation with the ""other,"" fears of innocents being violated, and the call upon heroic leadership to rescue both the hostages and the nation from threats to American identity. So this interpretation shows that ""The hostage crisis can be placed in the larger context of efforts to secure an American identity over and against fundamental threats, a practice grounded in ""zero-sum analysis of international action"" and a ""willingness to draw lines of superiority and inferiority between us and them""(SCOTT 2000) So we face a sort of existence of the notion of dualism in Americans culture which tends to define American social identity based on a specific quality and deeply discriminate between ""us"", as an American, and ""them"", between the ""self"" and the ""other"", and this is done usually because of a political motive. And Argo is a movie completely conforms to this view point of ""others""(Mousavi 2013). In a quite exaggerate way, Ben Affleck in the film Argo portrayed Iranian as savage and brutal people screaming lunatics rampaging around the streets and introduce every Iranian character a yelling indigenous nuisance and a suspicious bureaucratic stooge, or an absolute moron, The Iranians showed in Argo are in essence a screaming, loud mass of hysterical people. They torch flags, bang on cars, hit and stab innocent people and exploit children. They are frightening, suspicious, and essentially violent and aggressive. On the other hand, Tony Mendez (played by Ben Affleck), has appeared as a savior, and the six hostages are portrayed as heroes, who are all kind, compassionate and loving towards each other. This is the struggle to state the differences between ""us"" and ""them"" in American ideology. Throughout the movie, in all the scenes, Ben Affleck tries to highlight this sense of otherness, which are illogical, and threaten us (Americans) and fearing them is inevitable. The shadow of danger, threat and violence is the permanent theme of the movie, all the people are scary, the conditions are appalling, and the hostages are like defenseless lambs among wolves. Innocents are killed and are executed by hanging from cranes in public. Even old women are dreadful! Now the Mythic hero, Tony Mendes, in an extraordinary way survived the hostages that are being considered as the other movies heroes, from such a complicated situation in interaction with some savage moron security guards, For example in a ridiculous Chase and escape operation in film, you see the Revolutionary Guard chasing the plane in order to stop it! Instead of simply force the plane to land by the Iranian air-force. Cultural critic Nicolini states that Argo completely neglected to provide the Iranian side of the story, and said: ""The film is a sanitized version of the events."" She argued that ""there is nothing authentic about the film's manipulation of historical events,"" and described the movie as ""pure political propaganda."" According to all points we mentioned, we can conclude that Argo tries with new narrative of the Iran Hostage Crises to bring the sense of success to Americans and make them 'feel proud' of the U.S and specially the CIA, because of it's worthy of praise in the underground operation. So we see Ben Affleck in the film Argo is twisting the truth in order to introduce Protagonists come out looking like heroes. Movie makers have a responsibility when making movies based on the truth to let people know what really occurred. When they don't they are actually guilty of trying to change history and worse people believe what they see on the screen. The film Argo instead of focusing on revolutionary Iran and having a neutral approach to submit the reality of that era events, tries to focus on the 'white Americans in danger' storyline. It's a story about Americans exceptional-ism, by introducing The United State as responsible for the most of the goods in the world. Lester Siegel's sentence can be playing a very enlightened role for this claim, when he says (after the survival of the hostages): we made history tonight!",3 "I'm not gonna even start talking about the non existing and from little importance plot twist. However the editing of the film felt like the directors just discovered all PowerPoint slideshow animation! What were those wavy moments. This felt so cheap. To top it up there were two scenes blending into one moment in such a cheap irrelevant manner as the two moments were complete different to each other to create a smooth unnoticeable blending and reminded me of the singing scenes of Lion King 1994. The CGI was even worst. At points I could see the unedited part between America's hear and the green-screen. There was a lot of experimentation of camera angle which usually is a good thing but definatly not in this film. The dutch angles that are used to create feeling of psychedelia we're just over used and at times unnecessary.",2 "A very important movie in Indian cinema that crashes so many stereotypes that were built in bollywood over the years! Brings to us the best actors, music, dialogues etc. No exotic locations, abs, size zeroes and this movie killed it! Absolutely amazing and powerful!",10 "I'll start with the good since the list is pretty short... the acting by Gylenhall, Jackman, Howard, and supporting cast is top notch. They did a great job making this movie feel real. But that is where I have a problem with this film. It is a little too real, too gory, and too twisted for me to like. There are many scenes in vivid detail where people are being beaten and tortured; the director does not suggest these details in any subtle way whatsoever. And the fact that the whole premise revolves around the kidnapping, drugging, and harming children just makes it unbearable. Maybe some people appreciate the realness, I typically am one of those people, but this was a little too far for me.",5 "I never write review on IMDb, but because of this film I have to do it. First of all, I totally don't understand why this film won the Oscar. I have never seen a more cliché and overrated movie in my life. Don't waist time and watch Three Billboards Outside Ebbing.",2 "Inconsistent compositing and editing makes it unbelievable and often look cheap. I think this production team is not the right one for this big and epic story. Set design look most of the time like made in hurry and not with love. The series ""cursed"" has not as much budget and looks way more believable. Geralt played by Henry is good, Ciri is ok. Yennifer so so. The elfs preeetty unbelievable. I can't even assume their ancient ""power"". They look like a B movie version.",4 "What an over-hyped musical! I love musicals from stage to screen, but this one is really one of the worst I have ever seen. Apart from the camera work, I can't find any redeeming qualities in this movie. Bad cast, bad music, bad storyline, NOTHING to hold my interest. I just kept forwarding the movie for the more ""interesting"" parts and then found myself forwarding again after one minute or two. Honestly I haven't seen a Hollywood movie in ages, but I thought I'd give this one a chance after hearing so many positive reviews. Turned out they were all hype, all outright lies. I am done with the media and sheeple society.",1 "An interesting prospect but one in which the novelty of the cast can't carry a film we've all seen before. For me the de-aging did not work at all. At times it looked like cut scenes from a computer game and in others the actors age differed in the same scene. Further the stiff movements of the actors just did not ring true at all. Further with the cutting back and forward in time and having to try to guess if the actor looked younger or older than the previous scene. Just a bit of a mess. Most of the film is scenes we've seen before in other films, and for me at least, none of the characters were sympathetic or even interesting enough to have you care what happened to them. Also, despite its length, it didn't come across as an epic tale or even one worthy of 90 minutes.",5 "Don't believe the ratings and reviews here, they are obviously shills or written by the tasteless. This show is hot garbage just like everything else you find on NBC. IF you can't get enough of garbage shows like CSI you will love it. If you love to see NBC do Dexter, you will love it. Anyone with a brain watches it and sees right through it and knows the NBC can't do a show like this. A show on NBC will never be dark enough to make it realistic or entertaining. Don't waste your time on this piece of junk and LMAO at how desperate NBC and companies are to create fake reviews, although I shouldn't be surprised consider the millions of fake twitter fans for Gaga and Bieber. Again, this show is garbage",1 "Seasons 1-2: 8 stars Season 3: 4 stars Seasons 1-2 were surprisingly good. I'd played one game (the third) and read one book (the first), and wasn't expecting The Witcher to live up to either. I even thought Cavill would turn out to be a bad choice. But, I was thoroughly impressed by the series on every respect - and Cavill especially so. The mini-stories, overarching plot, characters, monsters, setting, abilities, politics, etc, were in line with both the book and game, while also adapted properly into an addictive show. Almost all acting was solid. Special effects were mostly worked in naturally, and integrated into combat in ways that made it feel even more like the game. Characters were developed over time. And the direction did it all justice. If you can decide in advance to watch just the first 2 seasons, and never worry about what might happen in the end - do it. Unfortunately, season 3 is a complete dud that feels like an entirely different show altogether. It's more like generic fantasy series that just happens to borrow from the Witcher here and there. Direction is amateurish. Actors struggle to perform well, as the dialogue has become bland and/or stereotypical. Witcher-style mini-stories have been replaced with hedonistic, artsy parties, romance, and characters constantly staring at each other with sexual intensity. It's like some kind of daytime soap-opera, except modern and woke, and there's an occasional monster fight. Worst of all, when the overarching plot does start to take hold, it's full of random, out-of-character changes. Since character development was set aside for love scenes, there was never any chance learn that characters were conflicted, gradually convinced of an alternate view, secretly a spy, etc. Instead, just 'bam, now I'm on your team / on the other team - yay/boo'. It's not like the classic 'the first season is always the best', either. It's such an extreme difference with season 3 that it really doesn't feel like the same show at all. So very disappointing. If you can't stop after just 2 seasons, I'd recommend it watching it at all. It really is that bad.",6 "If it were possible to rate this movie a negative 10 I would. Twenty five minutes in, and I was ready to walk out of the theater. It was without a doubt one of the silliest, most stupid movies I have ever seen in my life. It finally got a little better 30 minutes in, which brought it up to a negative three. Want an extreme waste of the talents of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. How did anyone ever convince them to star in this pink train wreck of a movie? Newsflash to Margo and Ryan, you're only as popular as your last movie! Lots of careers have gone into the toilet after a lousy movie like this one!",1 "Good movie and i liked it. The movie starts out very promising. Then it goes up fast from the moment they get to Venom. Character development is great as well and hardy is a great acotr. Probably the craziest venom I have ever watched.",10 "Korean satire about class differences turns into working class slapstick and pointless violence, that is, pointless relative to the point of the satire. The underlying dynamic is contemptuous of the poor and working class, and ends with a phony working class dream, under the guise of family. The last half or so of the film drags.",5 "I was listening to a Dominican radio show about the 2010 Oscars, and the guy was saying that this amazing movie was coming to Dominican Republic (where I was living at the moment); it was a new movie about a Bomb Squad set in Iraq during the U.S. invasion, and blah blah blah... And I was like: ""wait a minute, I saw that crappy movie on T.V., yeah, I saw it on Cable T.V., I think it was the MGM Channel... is not a new movie, and is completely boring; so I call the Radio Station and the guy gave me the reason, the movie was old, but he kept saying it was a Great movie. Great what?!!! they must be nuts! What is this movie about? no action, no thriller, no fun stuff... Drama? you're asking me to see drama in a War Movie, in a place where everybody is supposed to be freaked out!!! Another Jar Head piece of crap? C'mon!!! IF you want drama, make a documentary about the impact of the invasion, and why Iraqi people will hate United States people for dozens of generations. If you are to entertain me, I love the old style good War Action Movie, pure adrenaline, lots of dead bodies, explosions, etc... Like the good old Black Hawk Down! Don't get confused, I loved Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Rambo 1 & 2 and 4, The Expendables, Saving Private Ryan, Enemy at the Gates, Commando, Delta Force, even old stuff like The Battle of Midway, Dirty Dozen, Bridge Over The River Kwai, and others (tens of war/war-situation movies I liked). But this is nothing like those great war flicks; it shares nothing with them, so it is pure crap!",2 Scorcese has made the same movie twice already csasino and good fellas. It is sad to watch De Niro trying to play a dangerous hitman at this age. At some point you have to rethink the screenplay you are taking. These 3 great guys unfortunately do not get younger so stop playing young tugs.,4 "Loved this move so much. Only reason why it's not a 10 is because it could of had more characters. Other then that it was very amazing. I loved the use of each characters powers (especially scarlet witch). I thought wolverine, cyclops or jean grey would have been a great addition to the movie although it is captain America. The ending was good and I hope it gets a sequel and hopefully a Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. The quality of the film was good and all characters costumes were very detailed and done well. The story of the movie was planned well and executed amazingly. It is a family movie as most people like the marvel universe. I hope everyone enjoys it and the writers did an amazing job.",9 "This one doesn't deserve a long review and I am not one for describing the entire film in my reviews, so I'll keep it short & sweet. Story- Complete waste of potential, with opportunities for unforgettable character redemption gone before you can even finish daydreaming about the tasty possibilities for them. Acting- I like Frances McDormand a lot in other films but what has been praised as her finest hour, is to me, a grueling exercise in overacting, needless spunk, and unreliable character depth. I don't get the hype about her performance here. Woody is as great as always but I still don't care for the story surrounding his character, and he seems overall pointless to the plot when it's all said and done. Sam Rockwell is the best part of the film, hands down, but the wasted potential (see above) of his character is the biggest failure of the entire project. I watched this because a family member wouldn't shut up about how great it is. After giving it a chance, I don't even have the heart to admit I ever saw it...and quite frankly, I'll probably soon forget I had.",4 "This movie is an interesting biopic on Vijay Barse who takes it upon himself to involve slum boys and girls in football to wean them away from anti social activities like theft and violence. (There was a movie sometime back where Sanjay Dutt goes to Afghanistan and encourages young boys to play cricket to prevent them from joining terrorist related activities.) Amitabh Bachchan plays the protagonist as only he can, in his trademark style, getting the slum kids together, training them in football, encouraging and counselling them. The way he gets them addicted to the game even by paying them is well shown (There is also a bonus for his fans by way of a baritone speech delivered to the judge on encouraging slum kids to join mainstream society including sports.). Understandably Amitabh faces hurdles and objection from all quarters specially from the school when he allows the dirty, unkempt, badly behaved slum kids to scramble over the wall and jump into the school premises. Amitabh somehow pacifies the school authorities and continues training the slum kids to make first a national slum soccer team, then an international team. The movie's length of 2hrs 56 mins is a negative point mainly because there is too much of unnecessary detailed filming of some scenes. ( The old method of ""dissolve"" and new method of"" jump cut "" are always available). Scenes of sob stories could have been reduced. The attention span of modern Indian audiences has now been reduced to 100 minutes and anything more than that makes it a drag unless it has a huge canvas. Nevertheless director Nagaraj Manjule has done a fairly good job and has managed to make the scenes engaging. He has made an effective use of the camera and there are some splendid shots. ( He has also done a cameo as "" Hitler bhai""). Amitabh is good as usual. Among the slum kids Ankush Gedam has a well written role and is impressive. The supporting cast is also impressive. Music by Ajay Atul helps to build the atmosphere and tempo. The is a number like ""zingat"" too.",7 "Love the original and even the reboot movie but this was just too much. Did not get the remake of the family, the nee robot, Dr. Smith etc... too much of a deviation from the original pushing todays agendas. Writing is horrible. Plot is worse. Just dont get it",1 "A very smart series full of content. Well written, original, with continuous twists. The comic scenes are brilliant, they are almost always funny. In general, during the episodes you smile very often. The thing I liked the most is that old-fashioned sense of inquiry that pervades the story without ever falling into easy laughter. Perhaps not the best series of the year but probably the one that surprised me the most.",8 "Incredibly overrated mess of a movie that just never ends. I heard Al Pacino said it's his most difficult role and I think I understand why. Having poker face in every scene must be really tough. Figuring out the plot was never this hard, but the hardest part is to give a damn, this movie surely cures insomnia I'm not kidding.",1 "While the action in this movie was admittedly fun, not much else in this movie impressed me. The writing was truly horrible, cliché and very predictable. The acting was unimpressive. The plot was loose and poorly developed. The villains were a question mark. All characterisation seemed to be either absent or based on singular traits, therefore arousing no emotions or empathy. The romance seemed forced. The ending was similar to Batman v/s Superman. There was too much CGI in the latter half of the movie, and it was pretty obvious. Perhaps the only other redeeming factor is that the music score was pretty great.",4 "The movie takes us on a heartfelt journey through Spielberg's formative years, but is it a touching family tale or an exercise in self-indulgence? This biographical drama unfolds slowly, with scenes that lack the punch to keep you fully engaged. Despite commendable performances by the child actors, the script and dialogue often come across as uninspiring. Many viewers may find themselves questioning the film's purpose early on, wondering if it's worth investing more time. While the cinematography shines, the overall execution can be described as underwhelming. Spielberg dedicates a substantial portion of the film to his personal history, recounting the challenges he faced during his upbringing and career. While it's natural for individuals to explore their past, especially someone as accomplished as Spielberg, the film occasionally feels like a therapy session replayed for the audience. Rather than offering profound insights or valuable lessons, the movie sometimes appears to be Spielberg's own catharsis, leaving limited room for viewers to connect with the story. In essence, the movie may appeal to diehard Spielberg fans or those interested in his personal life, it is like an inside look into his mother's weird behavior and lack of love for her family than about him, it was more about the unfaithfulness and craziness of her than him, it was more about his family belief system than him. It may not be the ideal source of inspiration for those seeking practical takeaways from his life and achievements. This narrative, centered on an upper-middle-class family with no significant challenges, may not captivate audiences seeking a more compelling story. The film occasionally appears to portray Spielberg as akin to the main character, possibly to enhance his public image. However, the poorly written dialogue and occasional overacting can make it a frustrating viewing experience. In summary, the movie might not satisfy viewers in search of an engaging narrative. It's a slow-burning exploration of Spielberg's past, but mostly about his mother, which may leave some audience members wishing for more substance and resonance.",5 I usually don't give reviews but this movie is a dirt in name of Sci fi. Please do not waste your time in it.,1 "I enjoyed more the following ones: Wyatt Earp The Lion King Death and the Maiden Prince of Jutland Forrest Gump The Shawshank Redemption Ed Wood Trois couleurs: Rouge Crumb Quiz Show Before the Rain The Last Seduction Shallow Grave Nattevagten Blue Sky Ashes of time (Dung che sai duk) Tom & Viv.",6 "The Second installment in its core has a good story to tell but it puts more importance on Flashy Entrances, Scar Jo's Sexuality, quip after quip, and robot on robot action. What gets lost is the sincere emotional moments & vulnerabilities of Tony Stark that made the first film great. Downey & Paltrow's relationship progresses but hardly any poignant moment between them. The villains are not very interesting. One of the lesser entries in the MCU.",6 "Most reviews already say many things I would say. I had postponed viewing the series fearing stereotypical situations, personalities; fictitious characters, third rate chess, artificial heroes and villains.... We've seen that. Then I discovered how wrong I had been. In spite of the goofs already spotted, I find that they are not significant enough to detract from the merit and substance of the production. I found myself descending into the depth of pain and despair Beth experiences as she surrenders to the effects of damaging habits. I even spotted a striking metaphor when she and colleagues indulge in an abundance of froth at the bar - for some reason, they start moving empty bottles as though they were chess pieces! Yes, our heroes in drama touch our hearts when they show how human and frail they can be. This, to me, is comforting.",8 "If this show only had 2 seasons i would give it a 10, the problem is that the writers didn't seem to have a long plan for the show. The 1st and 2nd season are one of the best comedies i have ever seen, smart jokes, great acting with a lot of improvising (like the office) and a somewhat good plot. In the 3rd season is possible to see that the show isn't as much funny as it was in the first 2 season, still watchable, i would rate it a 6. The 4th and 5th season are just awful, Netflix should have stayed away from this and let it be a true classic. The plot is super lazy, not funny, very confusing, they took nonsense to a new level and completely ruined the show, it's unwatchable, i would rate it a 3. My advice is to watch the first the 3 seasons and stop, or you will be extremely disappointed.",5 "The list of things that annoyed me about this movie kept growing. All aliens were humans (with rainbow skin shades) and all spoke English. It just seemed so lazy. Take a leaf out of the Star Wars bar scene and stick some varying creatures around the place and varying languages. Actually develop a believable alien world. You could have so much fun with that. Then there is the very one dimensional characters. The female character was about as deep as a puddle. She brought NOTHING new to the female superhero, the love interest, and to look pretty with a couple punches thrown in. The main hero was clichéd. Then there was the never ending fight scenes. They were just too long. A lot of action, not much character development. Then while they get blown up they don't get a scratch on them... seriously?? At least apparently hiding behind tables while the entire building you're in gets blown up saves you from even getting a carpet burn. I love superhero movies, they're fun when there is a well developed bad guy and characters that you care about. This didn't have that. The jokes were funny. But jokes can't and shouldn't carry a movie.",4 "I absolutely loved this show from season 1 to season 2 but it started to get old at season 3. I don't know if that's because the season just isn't that good or if I got tired of it. Either way, the first few seasons are worth your time but after that it gets a little stale. Let's hope the MCU never has this issue but they've done great this far.",9 "I am a huge fan of the Wick franchise. I knew what Chapter 4 was going to deliver (or not) since I no longer go to the cinema, but rather wait for movies to stream. As others have said before, the plot is thin and in the background. The fights are front and center, are too long, and get tedious. I had to split the movie over two nights to make it through...and this comes from a guy who will watch Chapters 1 thru 3 every time they're on tv. This was a sad struggle to sit through. The stellar cast was wasted in this sequel. I see many complaints about dancers in the nightclubs or cars around the Arch de Triumph not noticing the kills around them. Since Ch 1, I've assumed this is an alternate reality (like a video game) where assassins run amok around the NPCs, and that is how it is supposed to appear in this version of NYC or this version of Paris. They are not the same versions of these cities if we were to travel there on vacation, so I can get past that. The script for this movie could not have been more than 5 pages of dialogue. Besides the repeat of ""I need guns. Lots of guns."" and ""Yeah..."", there isn't much else. Winston gets off a one-liner now and then, but that's it. As a mega-fan, I cannot recommend that other mega-fans spend their 2 hours and 50 minutes on this steaming pile.",2 "I normally love sci fi movies and can't get enough of them, but this one out me off watching them for several months. Fragmented reality should have been the name. It's a thoroughly disjointed storyline that mashes your brain and makes you think who in their right mind work would think this nonsense up. It seriously made me review all imdb ratings, since I couldn't believe that some people gave this an 8, and even worse, this movie got 6.4 on imdb. Don't waste your time with this one. Such a disappointment to see how the stars like Portman fall with roles like this. She deserved better.",2 "Well I finally watched The Dark Knight. And I'm left in total disbelief that this movie could be rated so highly. It was a standard action flick. No cleverness, no 'wow' moments, no twists, no plot. Nothing. Every scene was standard. A typical scene is the Joker confronting a group of bad guys, giving them a speech about how he's a better criminal than them, killing a couple of them, and then leaving by-way of a trick device. And Batman's scenes were all like this too. 2 1/2 hours of this. It got very boring. That pretty-much sums up my review. There's really not much else to talk about. Everything was standard, and it got boring. The only reason I even gave it a '3' was because it's a comic-book movie, so I gave it a free-pass on not making sense. For instance, Batman and the Joker can both pull the perfect device out of their pants at any given time, and they can both get anywhere (through security) at any time, without any logical explanation for it. If it wasn't a comic-book movie, I'd have rated it a '2'. Lastly, I'll just speculate as to why this movie is rated so highly. Don't discount my review because of this, as I'm not saying this last part of speculation is the truth. It's just guessing. I'm guessing because I can't fathom why this movie is rated so highly. There has to be some other factors involved. Perhaps it's: An pre-existing overwhelming love of Batman. A pre-existing love of Heath Ledger because of Brokeback Mountain (which endeared him to movie critics)....and sentimentality following his death. The 'all-star' cast. There's bound to be someone you like in this movie. Everyone loves Morgan Freeman, for instance. He's tossed-in this movie for no apparent reason. The 'message' that there's a blurry line between good and evil. Movie critics love that message. Me....I found the Joker's constant speeches about this to get very tiring after a while. And his voice was annoying.",3 "I'm not sure what happened with me or with Mr. Tarantino, but I can't really be bothered anymore with his movies. I tried with Django, then tried again with The Hateful Eight and tonight I was excited to see Once Upon... Why? Because it got great reviews and many raved how this was his best work so far... Well did I walk out of the theater disappointed and grossing in wtf's. The best thing to me is Leonardo DiCaprio's performance as he is pretty darn good and yes Brad Pitt is kinda cool and funny, but he's far from memorable. And why did Margot Robbie agree to do this movie? She is mainly hired for her gorgeous looks, but in the movie itself there's nothing to gain for her and her screen time is very limited. And then my main annoyance... This movie is incredibly boring. It's slow paced, it's hardly funny and the few funny moments are fairly predictable. And there is no character development or storyline whatsoever. You don't feel for any of the characters and it lacks the type of dialogues that QT is famous for. Looking at my watch hardly an hour into to the movie is not a good sign. I don't know, maybe I have gotten older and this simply isn't for me anymore, but I beg to differ. During the previews they showed the trailer for Joker and that got me more excited then 2 1/2 hours of Once Upon... I'll skip QT10.",6 "I rated the movie Dunkirk a five out of ten. I rated this movie a five because it was another war movie and those are not necessarily my favorite. I feel the way it was set up with the different stories was a bit confusing but i understood it after a while. But the movie itself was not flat out bad. I like the concept and how the actors put a lot into the roles they were assigned and how anxious it had me. Overall the three different views was a good thought but could have been executed in a better way to get more information or just put more details into the story line that it was lacking, but it wasent the worse.",5 "This is utter garbage movie. Nothing hilarious about it, people that rate this 10 stars are underpaid liars.",1 "The philosophy behind the film is clear and can be interesting for many people but the poor execution ends up overshadowing this, it is an almost experimental film, the mix of drama with comedy does not end up making sense or coherence so it does not contribute to the plot. The special effects are the only thing that ends up standing out.",4 "Wandavision is a unique entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has arguably carved out its own sub-genre within superhero films, but with that has come a series of oft-repeated story beats which can cause some of these movies and shows to feel stale. Wandavision is a breath of fresh. It presents a unique, engaging mystery, and respects its premise enough to drip-feed details in a way that makes you say ""just one more episode"" until it's all over. Wanda's journey is one of the most incredible and mature that I think we've ever seen in the superhero genre, bolstered by Elizabeth Olsen's landmark performance. The rest of the cast is equally commendable, with special mention going to Paul Bettany and Kathryn Hahn. This is such a unique show, that whether you're a fan of the MCU or just Wanda, this is a must-watch. The cast and crew have made something very, very special here, and it immediately sets the bar for future episodic content.",9 "With such a huge budget the team could have made a masterpiece. Why should one invent nonsense where there is already a good story? We could stop watching this after they had turned Eskel into a tree. What about Calanthe and Tris? Why not make them the way they are described in the Witcher series by Sapkowski? I have nothing against the people of colour, but why not follow the original source? Tris was RED haired, in different form she just lost her speciality, she is no longer Merigold. We stopped watching after the second season. What was the aim of inventing all those strange plot twists? Just take the f book and follow it. Make a legend out of it. But what thet have done is just the waste of money and dissapointment. Sponsors shoud sue those who are responsible. I belive that those who rate the series highly just haven't read the original books. That's it.",1 "Taking snapshots of what was and attempting to build anticipation of what will. GoT did this extremely well with uniqueness. The inception of the story line shows lines of similar nature, but without the gore and blurred lines of what is MA, content is nothing. Prediciting, no engaging plot will exist until season 2. Why? Again.",3 "I don't know what James Cameron wanted to prove with this movie, but I don't think he really cared much about continuing from where he left off with Avatar 1. If you love nature and wildlife, you definitely in for a real treat with this one. Unfortunately if you are an Avatar fan thinking this was going to be a bad ass sequel to what you saw in the first movie, you are going to be gravely disappointed. There's absolutely no meaning to whatever is going on here. I seriously don't understand why they needed to do all these just to get to Jack Sully. I mean, just do what you did in Avatar 1, attack the forest people and Jack will be forced to come back. But to forcefully introduce us to a whole new world, and then spend hours just exploring that world without any connection to anything, together with all the kids drama, it was just too long, unfair and not unnecessary. This was a real bore. Totally derailed from the first into this Family National Geographic Drama.",4 "Let me start off by saying, I wasn't the biggest fan of the first Captain ""Murica"" film so going into this film I didn't have the highest of hopes. But I was really surprised on how much I enjoyed this film, It acts as a squeal to the first Captain America film and The Avengers so there is lots for the story to cover. It follows Cap working with SHIELD and highlights how different his views are compared to that of SHIELD. All the big name SHIELD agents are back to :Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson and Anthony Mackie. The Action in this movie (What really Matters) Is amazing, Car cases,Great CGI and just all around ass kicking. It held my attention much better then the first, great for a weekend movie night",8 "Sorry for my bad english. I do not have any problem with sfx and the acting. The only thing I have problem with is the story. The beginning is to introduce the characters, and their connection with each other and also with their own problems, it's slow but I understand. Then in the middle of the story, it is going to interesting. That time I am speechless and I said ""so that's it"". Why she/he do that, etc. And then in the ending I was disappointed. Like ""what???, Come on!!"". In the middle the story is interesting and then the ending broke it. I was set high expectation after I watched Knives Out and the disappointment is in my mind. But overall good movie. I love it. Again sorry for my bad english, because english is not my native language.",7 "I've come to the conclusion that some actors and directors after a while they just give up. It's the case with Sandler and Aniston. No movie has insulted the spectators more, this is a cliché from start to finish. They were shamelessly trying to copy the masterpiece that is Manhattan murder mystery and failed miserably. Save your time and money please, the times when Zohar and Rachel made you laugh are long gone.",1 "If you have a problem with the politics and racism that come up and are themes in the show, then you don't understand why comics even exist. I rated the show a 7 based on the entertainment value of the show. I enjoyed the way the show ended. Who in their right mind wouldn't think that the speech Sam gives isn't appropriate? I hope the show continues and they find another entertaining plot and villain, with the few that are left.",7 "I eventually got around to seeing this film after years of meaning to. It's very well made, well produced, acted and directed, I just didn't really like it very much. Firstly, there's not really any main characters in the film that I felt any liking or sympathy for. OK the female cop, but she wasn't that much of a character, or, at least, not one we really learnt that much about. Secondly, it was always very obvious what was going to happen, right down to the ending. Such was the general incompetence of the perpetrators, there could hardly be any other outcome. So, all in all, not a film that really engaged me or one in which I cared about what happened to the characters.",5 "A perfect demonstration of how a bunch of teenagers would deal with a paranormal situation when they're in way over their heads. The story does follow a tried and true plotline of a cautionary tale or a visual adaptation of a parable, but at the same time, it does so in a way that isn't so obvious or boring. The characters in this story are arguably caricatures of their real-life counterparts, but the consistency in their behavior and solid acting from the cast helps progress the plot rather than muddling it down with unnecessary twists or unnatural dialogue. I would also understand those who would call this tactic formulaic, and I would agree with that, but I have to add that it has enhanced it with suspenseful pacing and graphic depictions of evil. What makes the movie truly scary is the fact that this could happen in our current time, even with all of our advancements in technology, to someone we know, and maybe someone we love. If you want an interpretation of possessions and demons that is more or less faithful to historical illustrations, then you will be pleasantly surprised by how seamlessly they fit into our modern society.",10 "Execution was everything. I loved it choreography, dance slay, scenery, landscapes slay, songs slay. I just live laugh love these number sequences here its tens across the board on the other side predictable story, at least from 2022 pov, it is clearly written by man, this story present us classic street harassment, sexual harassment and assault, but hey hes a good man and he redeem himself later! Ofc this is something that is not emphasized songs from this film will haunt me till my days are over i enjoyed it, but i wont pass by it and when it comes to bollywood girls and their looks and dancing girl lemme tell you im no better than a man, and srk hes just hot, let him have it, im letting him have it, tho his character was ew.",10 "This show is the prime example of quality, the soundtrack, storytelling and acting is top notch.",8 "I've watched this numerous times after each break up and even during relationships and it's so easily relatable and familiar in so many ways. It's a hilarious movie with the perfect scenarios and characters that we can all relate to. And what better place to film a break up movie than in Hawaii? The characters and scenarios are perfect and a great feel good/self-misery movie to watch, regardless what your situation is in life. Either a good comedy or a good ""misery loves company"" comedy, it's still enjoyable in every scenario I can think of.",10 """Ford v Ferrari"" (2019 release; 152 min.) brings the true story of the showdown at the 24 hrs of LeMans in 1966. As the movie opens, we see Carroll Shelby in a flashback win the 1959 LeMans. We then go forward a few years when Henry Ford II address the Ford factory floor asking for some good new ideas. Up-and-coming executive Lee Iacocca suggests buying the struggling Ferrari car manufacturer but the deal fails. In a parallel story, we get to know rebel driver Ken Miles.... At this point we are less than 15 minutes into the movie but to tell you more of the plot would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out. Couple of comments: this is the latest film from director James Mansfield (The Wolverine; Logan). Here he brings to the screen the heated rivalry between two very different giants in the car industry: Ford and Ferrari. The movie starts promisingly, but pretty soon we are bogged down in all kinds of corporate background and infighting that play out for way too long. Honestly, the movie could've been trimmed by 20 to 25 minutes in the movie's first half, and would not have lost any of the movie's essence. Matt Damon en Christian Bale are terrific in the lead roles of Shelby and Miles. The actual racing sequences are entertaining and loud, very loud. The movie opened wide the previous weekend, too great acclaim and box office success. I saw the movie in its second weekend of play, and the Sunday early evening screening where I saw this at was attended very nicely. Positive word of mouth will likely result in continued strong business in the weeks to come. If you have any interest in car racing, or are simply interested in a well-made and entertaining movie (even if a bit overly long for its own good), I readily suggest you check it out, be it in the theater, on VOD, or eventually on DVD or Blu-ray, and draw your own conclusion.",7 "Season 1 is awesome, season 2 is good . Season 3 is terrible, boring , who care ani , Who care Bryce is alive or dead . I think ""13 Reason Why "" only had 1 season is enough. 2 season ? Ok , is good . But 4 season , no good , . Since Hannah leaves ""13 season why"" this tv show can ""the end "" Ani is very bothered",2 "This series shows how without some deep lore and writing, but with very good directing and acting you can create something good. Hope to see more from Duffer brothers in the future.",8 I love this movie and climax is wonderful. You must watch this movie. I am not fan karthi but I am became a fan of from now onwards. I am waiting for kaithi part 2 movie,8 "There were a few things was dissapointed with in the run up to the show, it was overhyped as being great, and the casting seemed just to keep HBO favourites on the book in some cases rather than look for the best to fit a roll. We watched as the story was altered, the overplay of the frank and bill episode(especially the deaths) who were minor game characters that some forgot, and the lack of clickers, bloaters etc as the journey was far less eventful than the game ever was. It just felt it was trying to hard to win the approval of modern audience when ignoring features of the game. What it made up for was keeping to most of the story, the great scenery of what happend to society, bt it lacked the spores, the monsters, the horror and tension. It was too soft. As if scared to frighten the audience. It was just another failure of a game adaption to me.",5 "For those not caught up with superhero movies, this is a decent passtime. You get the comic dialogues, nice vfx and action. Nothing to write home about. The length could have been longer. Story lacked substance.",8 "This is the most disappointment show I ever seen, I had so much hope for this, but seriously what a mess this is, it's just awfully!, please don't believe the 6/10,7/10, 8/10,9/10 and 10/10 it's just bots, the writing, the acting, the directing it's just painful in my eyes, having nightmares watching this, if this is the future then don't have any future at all...",1 "Simply one of the worst - uh - ""films"" I've ever seen. I had my doubts that they could make a decent film out of this particular character, but I didn't think it could be quite this horrible. The tone is all over the place, with attempted jokes in the face of head-eating and mass murder, none of which appears to leave any impression on the characters, who act as if everything is a minor inconvenience to be shrugged off with a smile and a bit of shoddy wit. The ""motives"" of the characters (including Venom) are so vague they might as well be considered a form of arcane mysticism. Tom Hardy is an intelligent performer: I am sure he knows that this was strictly ""get paid and get out"" territory. The ethical landscape of the film is a disaster site, with a cool hipness being displayed between scenes of rampaging violence on a mass scale, and no lasting emotional scars on any of the participants. No consequences but for one death, and a lot of innocents slaughtered to no apparent end. The art direction is poor also, with everything in a splash of light blue. Difficult to watch and really emblematic of the general degradation of American cinema since the 70s. A vacuous exercise in mindless action and lack of human psychology. Wretched.",2 The Happening 2 ?but with better actors and it's more suspenseful.Would personally give The Happening a 5/10 to give a better indication of my rating for this movie,6 "Yes, it may sound i am exaggerating, but please watch this movie in Dolby Atmos to feel my statement. Ghibran is the man behind the show, completely made audience feel the pain and thrill. Spine chilling BGM !!! Apart from lead actors, Ramdos (munish Kanth) proved himself as a good actor. Being a movie buff, i found each and every frame is worthy. Overall, this is one of the best thriller movie in Tamil history. Please don't miss it. Watch it in theatre.",9 After a long time saw a movie which has four different stories but has a synergistic end. A few areas which require trimming perhaps but but say that it was wonderfully entertaining.,10 OK so walking in to see this i really didn't know what to expect exactly except for a good way to spend a boring Saturday that wasn't going so great but wow was it sooo much more than that its a lot of fun kind of a slow start but a great blend of action comedy and adventure pure marvel magic once agin proving marvel is one of the biggest summer names in excitement pure fun felt like a kid agin speaking of kids this is also a good family choice not much swearing or sex just a lot of action violence 'may sacre super little ones ' but besides that its a wonderful movie to start the summer movie season off right go see it u wont regret it in any way trust me,9 The film maker thinking he is more clever than he actually is. Equivalent to a toddler trying to outsmart an adult. Worth a watch but don't get your hopes up.,4 "Fans of classic murder mysteries aren't exactly getting spoiled these days. The first knives out wasn't a true masterpiece either but it was a refreshingly honest attempt and it was at least fun to watch. So I was actually looking forward to see the second film even though the release on Netflix made me suspicious from the beginning. But what's the worst that can happen right? At least we get to see Edward Norton again after what feels like half a century. What should I say... they Netflixed it beyond expectations. To cater to the streaming service consumer base that apparently can't be expected to have the attention span of more than a goldfish there is not a single cheap cliché, flat joke or any kitsch they skipped. The villain is dumbed down to a caricature, I assume to make even the slowest mouth breather feel included and superior. The first half is a stretching eye rolling marathon and while the second half actually occasionally catches up some speed and shows a few at least somewhat interesting ideas of a story, it completely fails to find an organic finale. Missed opportunity after missed opportunity to put a halfway respectable ending to this mess pass by while the dying plot is artificially kept alive long enough for the inevitable final special effects dumpster fire. Disappointing.",3 "Skip skip skip this movie. I don't know where to start. Was it collective psychosis that got people to like this movie? Horrible script. Nothing clever. Extremely condescending. I don't think one can even hate watch this movie. You just hate it. I adore Ryan Gosling - how he could read that script without cringing is a mystery. An Oscar nomination for Ken?!? That dance scene for Just Ken?!? The Big Lebowski this is not. It was worse than I expected. I finally decided to watch it because I had car crash curiosity. I do give big props to Michael Cera as Alan. He was terrific. Skip skip skip this movie.",1 "The acting was good, the visualisation of this era amazing, but it was all so slow, almost very boring. After half an hour cellphone screens started to pop up, realising I was not the only person getting bored. And yes, the end was full of action. Must my expectations had been to high.",5 "A combination of fact and fiction but no story, nothing linking them in any way.i like Tarantino movies but don't understand the poin of this one. ..........",3 "The Dark Knight Rises is a pretty good film, though not particularly special. Action was well directed, the new toys are impressive and the storyline is fairly easy to follow. Bane seemed somewhat overdone - more like a caricature than a deep menacing villain. There was also a noticeable ""dip"" in the middle of the film where I found myself losing interest, mainly due to the plot failing to progress meaningfully. I thought it also drew on connections to the previous films extensively, which doesn't work well and certainly for those who have not seen the first two films. That doesn't necessarily make it a bad film, but prevents it from being great in its own right. Ultimately it seemed like this installment lacked depth and personality that others had. It didn't surpass The Dark Knight. Funny to see how many of the actors in Inception turned up in this film.",6 "Entertaining to say the least and definitely a nice nostalgic trip back into the 80s. However, the show remains full of plot holes and a good part of it feels 'forced' and 'shaky'. While i binge-watched the show, it felt underwhelming and overacted. Season 1 was better, whereas this one let me down in hard to define ways (conclusion, useless scenes and jokes, poor character development, etc). Also, i really felt the need to give it a 7 star rating. IMDb was by go to reference but it seems that every new show nowadays always gets either a 10 or a 1. Too polarized. This show is DEFINITELY not a 9 or 10, and I would place it somewhere between 7 and 7.5, maybe.",7 "Loki is a bad guy with a funny twist that just makes you wonder if theres a better side. Even in his first instance the Hulk vs Loki scene was AWESOME! Puny GOD! Now bare with me on my title I D NOT WANT TO SEE TOM HIDDLESTON in short shorts and tight shirt. He's that dynamic bad guy who you kind of like. I like shows like this I think TOM has channeled the ultimate good bad guy here Alan Rickman. That's spun off onto this series where we get to see Loki with a different path. Heck there's even some psychology here the kid with a bad start, abandonment issues, and a overshadowing perfect brother finally breaks away and figures out there's another path to fill his need to be seen. I like the character, I like the partial, and I'll definitely continue to log in to see more.",9 "SPIDER-MAN 2 This is the sequel to the successful Sam Raimi movie. The film continues 2 years after the original movie with Peter Parker now living in a flat on his own still protecting the city from the bad guys. His nemesis this time around is Doctor Octopus. It is very rare for a film to be better than the original movie or even be close, but this is easily as good as the original in my opinion. The story is really good and even though Spider-Man has an enemy in Doctor Octopus, this film concentrates a lot on the emotions he is going through and not just about the action. Peter is going through a lot of stress with life as Spider-Man. He is in love with a woman he can't be with, he can't hold a job down, he is failing his studies, his best friend is badgering him to find out who Spider-Man is because he wants revenge for his father and he is riddled with guilt because of the death of his uncle. I like the story in this as it shows that he is human and has emotions and you start to feel actually quite sorry for him as you see that even though being Spider-Man is cool, he is sacrificing a lot for the people. The action and effects are really good and it stays entertaining all the way through the film. There are some comedy moments which breaks up the emotion and it is well timed. The stars of the original movie returned for this. Tobey Maguire was Spider-Man, Kirsten Dunst played MJ and James Franco plays Harry Osbourne. Alfred Molina played Doctor Octopus. Toney did a good job playing a guy who was running out of emotional energy. He really did look like he was struggling with everything. James again did a brilliant job. He looked angry and played the part well. Alfred did a great job as Doctor Octopus. Even though he was the bad guy in the movie, he was also the victim. I felt sorry for his character. The cameos again were great in this… Stan Lee and Bruce Campbell made appearances. There was one scene that I thought was rubbish. During once sequence Spider-Man was seen by a lot of people without his mask. They all tell him that they won't say anything and his identity was kept a secret… I straight away thought this was rubbish. Someone would have spilt the beans for the right price… and let's face it. The Bugle would have paid cash for that story. I enjoyed this a lot and thought it was a great sequel to the original. I will give this film 7 out of 10. ""I'm back… I'm back! WOOOOOHOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! My back! Ouch, my back!"" For more reviews, please like my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl",7 "To say this film has an all-star cast is an understatement when it has Robert De Niro, Ed Bagley Jr, Timothy Olyphant, Rami Malek, Zoe Saldana, Mike Myers, Chris Rock, Taylor Swift, Matthias Schoenaerts, and then it's three stars are Margo Robbie, Christian Bale and John David Washington. This is one of those stories that deals loosely with a serious and real topic dredged from our history between the world wars, but specifically in the 1930's. The topic is handled in a fast paced almost irreverent way that is highly entertaining. Without giving too much away, the story revolves around three friends who meet in a WWII hospital and live in Amsterdam together post war. Eventually, one moves back to the United States where he wants to, as a doctor, treat fellow vets who are suffering from both horribly disfiguring and painful wounds. This does not go over well with his Park Avenue in-laws and eventually gets him in trouble with the law, forcing his other two friends to also come back to the states. One pulls strings and disappears, the other becomes a lawyer of color and goes into business with his doctor friend to help those in need. They end up being hired by Taylor Swifts character to look into the death of her father, a former general who they both respect. When foul play is suspected they run afoul of a powerful organization...something like the circle of five, who are well funded by big business both in this country and abroad. This puts them on a course to potentially disrupt a plot to put a dictator in the presidential chair. I love clothing from the 1930's and art deco. The costume and set design crew nailed it in this film, it was lovely. For me it is worth watching for that alone...but if you need more, the acting is great, the comedy dark, the music worth listening to and the pacing and telling of the story both fast and tight. The film was fun and worked into a ""who-dunnit"" quite nicely. I appreciated a lot of the historical details, especially with the types of wounds sustained by the WWI soldiers and the use of untested pain medicine. I think this film is a must see and with big businesses influencing so much today, very painfully relevant.",7 Loki so far is insanely amazing. As soon as any episode ends there's a great cliffhanger which will make you wanna keep watching. Overall one of the best series in my opinion.,9 "My name is Khan tells story of Muslim people living in US before and after the 9/11 tragedy. Although the movie is bold and quite a breakthrough in Bollywood landscape, it still doesn't do justice and overall subjective. Sharukh Khan is a great actor, he played an autistic Muslim who travel the continent with one mission, to meet the president and to clarify (based on his wife request) that not all Muslims are terrorist, obviously not him nor his dead son, victim caused by the race riot. I liked him, he gave honest and thrilling acting - a solid reason just to see the movie. Kajol, the dark beauty is also good, I used to love her but she kinda over-reacted at some scene and leave me cringe on my seat. But the chemistry of this two lead is undeniable, dare I say it's more 'real' than any Hollywood romantic couple on screen. Like I mention earlier, My name is Khan is a breakthrough but at the end of the movie you get a mixed feeling, that is it's subjective and not satisfying enough. But, taking in hand a very sensitive matter I do appreciate the director, Karan Johar from his 'escape' of the comfort zone and direct a delicate project. 9/10.",9 "After the first spider-man movie my anticipation was another action flick with a little romance thrown in. But, spider-man 2 came across as a Shakespearean tragedy with a little action thrown in. Peter parker's relationship with Mary Jane was an important part of the picture and I think should have been explored but it was elevated much higher than necessary for an action flick... The special effects was great and the action that was present was good. I can enjoy a good love story with heart brake and heart ache but not at the expense of blowing things up, mischief and mayhem. The train scene was great action then went straight downhill. That ""win one for the gipper"" stuff is just very hackneyed and usually not very well done as is the case in this movie. Even though spider-man is a comic book character and if you read the comic book you had an idea of how things would end up, the movie seemed to telegraph what was happening next to whom and when. There was no real drama just a lot of Kleenex moments which don't fill the void for some action.",1 "I have seen all of the extended Conjuring universe movies (Devil knows why though), and I have yet to come across an interesting story or at least a scary scene. 'Annabelle Comes Home' is just another cheap cash grab that relies heavily on the idiocy of the target audience and loud jumpscares. If we don't expect or demand better from horror movies, we ain't getting anything worthwhile. The acting is decent, the actors do their best with the dumb story and inane dialogue they got. I laughed some and yelled a lot at the movie, so it wasn't as bad and boring as 'Annabelle'. The cinematography and set design is the only thing I actually liked, but it's not enough. I hope one day this trend will end, and horror directors will care about creating good movies instead of single-serving shlock.",3 "To me, a lot of the Netflix original movies feel churned out. They're well produced and it's not bad filmmaking at all, but something is missing. Maybe the Netflix executives discourage the filmmakers they work with from taking risks? Whatever the case may be, their movies don't feel very passionate. Bird Box fits into this mold. The best way I can describe this movie is ""decent."" With all the good ingredients they had to work with (top actors, strong production value, etc), it's disappointing that the filmmakers behind this made something with such a flat affect. Unfortunately, I think we're going to see a lot of 6 out 10 movies from Netflix in 2019.",6 "Very Good Movie, Must Watch for All Ages You only get to watch this for the 1st time once, so choose your state of mind very carefully. It is a film about dreams and reality, and what sort of life it is best to find when you leave the cinema and return to whatever you left to enter. It is spectacular, and brutal, and enigmatic and disturbing. It is beautiful and absorbing. It is about one of my favourite characters ever to grace the screen. I don't see it often, in case it's not as good as I like to remember it. That is my secret, that I lock away in my safe in the basement. That somewhere there is a perfect world for us all. For some, perhaps it is in the cinema watching this.",7 "Without a doubt, this film is one of the worst films ever, in terms of the disparity between the IMDb rating (8.2 at this writing) and the actual quality of the movie (about 4.2 in my estimation). The plot boring and incoherent. Eeerie, sharp B&W photography and ear-damaging sound levels are no substitute for coherent, revelatory dialog. Contrast any of the great Hitchcock films with this drivel! Hitchcock could have us on the edge of our seats, even in rather mundane circumatances. In this disastrous film, we have little idea who these two characters are, and even less idea of why we should care. The emotional shifts seem entirely unmotivated. We are supposed to attribute them to only 4 weeks of reasonably hard work in a moderately claustrophobic environment. This is simply crazy! ANY normal adult could put up with these conditions for months, and virtually anyone who ever served in the military did! After 15 minutes, my wife and I were thinking of leaving. But that 8.2 rating led us to stay. It was a huge mistake. We should have left.",2 "I was sooo excited to see this movie! I love the original Lion King so much, I feel so let down by this. The pacing felt weird, the voice acting felt very flat and lifeless, and don't even get me started on Beyonce. I felt generous giving this a 4/10, and that was mostly because this movie, while pretty terrible, looked absolutely gorgeous. Please, for the love of all things Disney, watch the original instead.",4 "Venom is set to be the first movie in the Sony's Universe of Marvel Characters and a first standalone Spider-Man villain movie. The story of the film is based on the Venom: Lethal Protector(1993) comic book, but many things from it was cut out to make a much more realistic story introducing the character. Journalist Eddie Brock is trying to take down Carlton Drake, the notorious and brilliant founder of the Life Foundation, who won't stop at anything to achieve his goal, even if it means to sacrifice people. While investigating one of Drake's experiments, Eddie's body merges with the alien symbiote Venom - leaving him with superhuman strength and power. Even though the film has a PG-13 rating, watching it makes you wonder whether the adult rating was intended in the first place, because some scenes draw a really thin line between the two ratings. Comic book lovers won't be disappointed with the look of symbiotes and some action scenes are impressive and interesting to follow. Also, the dark humor and Eddies interaction with Venom must be pointed out. Venom is not just a black costume with powers, it's a different personality living in the head and taking care of the host. What makes it special is that Tom Hardy made the voice of Venom and their conversation feels real due to pre-recorded voice over which was used on set. Unfortunately, nothing much can be added to the advantages of the film above. The film has many problems starting with a poor script and ending with a temp of storytelling. Characters are written to be plain, without any depth and development. Even understanding the writers idea to prepare the viewer for symbiote appear, first act of the film some may find boring and excessive.",4 "I wanted to see a digitally rendered Molly Ringwald and Matthew Broderick! It would have been the only place where their being digital renders wouldn't have mattered so much, since it was all taking place in the Oasis. No AtAt's or X-Wings? No RUSH? I wanted to see the inside of the Blade Runner world and that little replicant testing machine! I wanted to see D&D and Joust! We got what..? The Iron Giant and a bunch of cheap B-Side pop culture references. You could smell the compromise. They had a budget for licensing and all the greed-bots got greedy. Imagine how much fun this film could have been if everybody had just kicked in and said, ""Go for it! Let's make something spectacular! Let's celebrate our medium!"" Instead we not only got a bunch of budget licenses, (obviously with strict limits on the number of tenth-of-seconds of screen time they could be used), and a dumbed down story for general admission, because the demographic which had actually lived and loved in the 80's sure isn't going to be paying to see *this* twice. All around, a smart economic decision. ""The film won't make the people happy it's supposed to make happy, so let's just make a general film for kids and hope we make our money back. Which we wont.""",3 "This appears to have been written by a group of 6th form English students. The baddies are basically US Marines engaged in raping the world of the peaceful Navi/Navajo/Vietnamese for its rare, um, somethingorother/ for no particular reason. ALLEGORY, huh! The characters do things for no sane reason (we are being attacked in the forest, endangering our forest brothers and sisters, we shall go to the coast and endanger our sea brothers and sisters - we must track down and kill this bloke and his family because, er, don't really know - some of us will be human with boats and harpoon guns and stuff and some of us will be avatars - Mowgli will be in it, for no particular reason). Copycatting abounds. I spotted Stagecoach, Apocalypse Now, Moby Dick, Pocahontas, Titanic (I suppose plagiarising your own film is OK), The Poseidon Adventure, the Jungle Book and High Noon. I'm certain there were more. It did look nice for about half an hour, though, until I got bored. They've already made Avatar 3. Good luck getting anyone to come and see that.",2 "Mr. Nolan does it again, and this time he reaches for the sky. Filled with beautiful scenes and visual effects. The cinematography is great. The sound effects are superb. And the performances are just beautiful. Christopher Nolan's regular Michael Kane is as good as usual, with the iconic poem that he repeats throughout the film. Anne Hathaway and Casey Affleck both deliver good performances. But the ones that standout in the film are Matthew McConaughey and Jessica Chastain, Both giving great performances (and one that could boost Jessica Chasten to fame even faster than before). Interstellar is Definitely and without doubt one of my favorite films of 2014.",7 "I don't normally write reviews, but I had to after seeing some of the Critic reviews. I am a huge, huge comic book fan. Have been since I was 7. Iron Man caught me off guard. I was always loved the 'Avengers' (Marvel comics always beat DC in my world), but Iron Man was never one of my favourite characters, but the first movie was right up there with Batman Begins, Spiderman 2, and X-Men 2. For me Iron Man 2 is in that league. This movie was funny, tons of action, great characters, wonderful ideas with subtle touches. I'm not going into the plot or give spoilers. All I want to say is this movie was darn fun and a great summer movie. Please trust me on this one.",10 "I watched Avatar: The Last Airbender on TV a couple times, and I became to be very impressed by it. My brother and I rented every DVD and watched every episode of this masterpiece and we were blown away. There hasn't been, and there never will be another kid's show as brilliant and as epic as this one. First, the animation. Not only is it beautiful, but it is also unique. It's almost a mixture of cartoon animation and anime, though it's not officially anime. Compared to the other kid shows on today, which are mostly lazy computer animated characters with big heads and no depth, Avatar has the best animation of them all. The landscapes are beautiful, breathtaking, and impossible to not take seriously. Next, the plot. The story follows the same basic plot line throughout: Aang has to defeat the Firelord in order to bring balance to the world and unite the separate nations. The story is epic and powerful, with a lot of other important and interesting subplots and lessons we could all learn. Whoever wrote the stories for each episode were not only geniuses, but they knew what they were doing and they did an incredible job. The Characters. I've never had so many favorite characters from one show before. They each have their own quirks, their own style, and they all can be loved and related to. Aang is the main character we can all relate to, having to accomplish a great task and unsure if he is able to do it. He really is someone to cheer for throughout the show. Katara is lovable, with her gentle spirit and her motherly tendencies. She is also someone to admire. When she is angry, she will stand and fight for her and her friends no matter what, and she never gives up. Sokka is the main comic relief of the show, and he never stops making me laugh. He is also has a good heart and an unyielding loyalty to his friends. Toph is sarcastic, powerful, and just plain awesome. Zuko at first is someone to hate, but not for long. It takes a few episodes to see what has made him so angry and confused about himself, and he turns into a character to really feel sorry for (example: the story of how he got his scar). He makes a turnaround and he becomes yet another lovable character. Now Iroh, Zuko's uncle has to be the best character of them all. He's calm, funny, and seemingly a bit lazy, but he really is a wise old man, and sort of a ""good guy on the bad guy side"". He's very fatherly towards Zuko and he's very caring and patient with him, even at his worst. Not only that, but in combat, Iroh kicks BUTT. He really does. My personal favorite part of the show what when he asks: ""Do you know how I got the nickname 'The Dragon of the West'?"" and he spews fire out of his mouth. PURE AWESOMENESS. All the characters are worth watching and admiring in this show. The feeling this show leaves behind is powerful, and it really makes you want to know what happens in the next episode. What I loved about the very last episode was, not only was the conclusion of the show completely EPIC, but it also answered questions, brought closure to the characters' conflicts, and it left a feeling of great satisfaction at the end that everything had worked out perfectly. This is the best show that Nickelodeon has ever produced. After this show ended and Spongebob began to decline, Nick has never been worth watching. What they need to do is look hard at this show, and try to work out some new shows that kick butt as well as this show did.",10 "I really did not like the first one much but i decided to give this one a shot thinking that it may be a bit better. In fact is was much worse. The actors are much worse and its filled with more plot holes. This movie takes place after the first one following peter parker (spiderman) as he tries to live a normal life and be spiderman at the same time. This movie was not as good as the first one. At least in the first one you had the excitement of him becoming a super hero. In this one the story line is just boring and predictable. Once again I only recommend this for little kids",5 "Watched Ant-Man Featuring Paul Rudd(I Love You Man) as Scott Lang, Evangline Lily(The Hobbit:There and Back Again) as Hope Van Dyme, Michael Douglas(Wall Street) as Hank Pym, Corey Stoll(Non-Stop) as Darren Cross/Yelllowjacket The Films Main Villain For a Marvel Studios Superhero Film it is the Worst one yet also The film attempts to take A not so Cool Bug and Mesh with Honey I Shrunk The kids concept also Paul Rudd acts Likes Himself and is Very Wooden also The Film is Badly Written Evangline Lily Should've never signed on and Actress at her caliber and Rashida Jones was much suited for her role is not worthy of this terrible movie also the Whole Concept is too goofy for a superhero this The Batman & Robin of The Marvel Cinematic Universe I recommend you See Tranks Fantastic Four Movie that features actual Superheroes and This The 2nd Worst Movie Of 2015 Behind 50 Shades of Gray 3/10",3 "Amateurish script resulted in a boring movie that was at least 50% filler. This could have been a good, but never a great movie...not enough ""show me the meat"" for a feature film. It would have been helped by, and I can't believe I am writing this: commercials. Back to the failed Edsel parallel. Ford was so excited by the new technology put in the Edsel that they failed to pay enough attention to the resultant product. Like a boring computer programmer, the director of 1917 was obviously obsessed with the technology he was employing instead of the end user enjoyment. The Movie's grand promotion was putting lipstick on a pig. And besides being a disappointing result, like the Edsel, it was just a sad experience. Technocrats are boring as was the movie 1917. That is truly sad. It gets 4 stars since it was in color. Wearing my WWI Doughboy helmet while watching didn't help.",4 "I loved Harry Potter. It was a great series for all ages. But, sadly, J.K. Rowling's road to success relied much too heavily on plagiarism, when it came to the acclaim of the Harry Potter series. I watched this movie with a grain of salt, my expectations cautiously optimistic after the whole plagiarism scandal. I went into this thinking I would see some captivating fantasy fiction, and mythical beasts which have at least some connection to fantasy lore. Unfortunately, the movie could not produce any such effect. The story attempted to use a wizard named Newt as a conduit for an audiences fascination and infatuation with some odd-looking beasts, probably in an attempt to copy the effect that Hagrid's lovable, down-to-earth character had on Potter audiences, as well as his genuine love for some of the most horrific, un-comely, and sometimes nearly uncontrollable creatures, which in my opinion, was really what was captivating, especially when surrounded by characters - witches, even - whose disgust and fear often put them at odds with his creatures. But Redmayne's eccentric character didn't seem to form any real attachment to the beasts. Instead, the movie seemed to slowly drag me through a disingenuous, political-handed animal rights campaign led by a guilt-riddled social justice warrior - one whose complexes detached him from the animal beneficiaries of his crusade, as he seemed to lack any real emotional connection on a personal level with the beasts he carried. My family and I could find no emotional connection to - and quite frankly wasn't all that impressed with - Newt's menagerie. The movie lacked any creatures which my family and I could find noble, fearful, stunning, or even cuddly, with the exception of maybe a brief focus on a Griffon. While a couple of the beasts' idiosyncrasies and abilities were mildly entertaining at first, again, it was nothing to write home about. The comedy-relief plot - something which these beasts started to seem solely intended for - seemed to rely much to heavily on much of the same, and became stale rather quickly. Most of the beasts frankly were just damn annoying, and had zero captivation value for the story. The actual plot had little to do with any loose beasts at all, but rather, a villain searching for, and trying to ally himself with a powerful witch with uncontrollable anger issues - probably an attempt to build some of the fearful notoriety which Voldermordt carried. But again, this was a flop. The story's build-up of the audiences consternation of villains relied too much on political caricatures which only die-hard leftists would find entertaining; nothing terrifying or even fascinating could be found in any of it's villains. The movie also unfortunately lacked any real connection to the series, aside from a mention of Hogwartz. And sadly, political overtones were much too obvious. Seriously, when a 8-year-old daughter tells a father who never speaks to her of politics that the villain is Trump, and the leader of the 'righteous' witches is Hillary, you know the movie has a political agenda that will pervade, at the cost of any genuine entertainment. In sum, the movie lacks any impressive originalism, and doesn't deliver any attempted copy of any of the mystique, fantasy, or originalism found in Potter. Quite frankly, if it wasn't for the genius acting Eddie Redmayne put into his eccentric character, (outside of his paltry, smarmy animal rights crusade) I would have fallen asleep. But Newt's odd irreverence for authority in a country not his own does make him an interesting character with some reckless unpredictability.",3 "Maintaining the same heavy and dark atmosphere, Daredevil introduces us to more complex iconic characters of the Marvel universe (Elektra and the Punisher) without forgetting the existing ones. We see a lot of character development on Karen Page (as she investigates the Punisher and constantly questions her own values and beliefs) as well as Foggy (we know his insecurities and beliefs better as his friendship with Matt Murdock is once again threatened). I have to point out that I did not like the evolution of Karen and Matt's relationship, although I understand why they decided to include it in the show (because of the comics!), I was not much of a fan. Although we got a glimpse of the constant internal debate of Matt Murdock in season one, this time Matt seems to be constantly struggling about what's wrong and right, what's a hero and a villain. With the introduction to the Punisher and Elektra, this debate was inevitable. And this is one of the most exciting things of this season, I was always trying to categorize the three of them into hero or villain and I came to the conclusion that's not that black and white. Humans are so complex and, for that reason, there is a thin line between a good and a bad person. We are not just good or bad, we have both traits in ourselves. Jon Bernthal plays Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, who is a vigilante who's not afraid to use violence (murder, kidnapping, torture,etc) in his war on crime. Frank Castle is a fascinating character, an antihero that can make us love and hate him at the same time. He brings a lot of violence to the season, which we all love. Jon Bernthal gives an epic performance and I hope we can see him more often in this amazing universe that Netflix created (what I mean is: give him his own TV show!). Elektra, played by Elodie Yung, is a trained violent assassin but she's also an ex-girlfriend of Daredevil. I loved the tension between both of them and also all the story of their past and why she appeared in New York looking for his help. When they are together we see Matt Murdock actually enjoying his powers, which was really fun. Elodie Yung was a pleasant surprise, after watching this season I can't imagine Elektra being played by anyone else. She gives an amazing performance and I also wish to see more of her in the future, Elektra is a fascinating character and there's still a lot that has not been told (in other words, give her her own TV show!). Some people criticize this second season by not having a consistent villain. I don't agree with that. First of all, I enjoyed the different approach of introducing two new antiheroes instead, it shows that the creators are not afraid of trying something new. The fact that they don't want to repeat themselves and have always the same structure shows that this TV show should be praised. Also, the complexity of Elektra and the Punisher completely occupied the show, leaving no space for a villain. (I quite enjoyed Wilson Fisk appearances and I can't wait to see what happens to him next season.) Daredevil managed to surprise me with (once again) impeccable action scenes all over the season. Marvel's Daredevil did not disappoint. I couldn't help watching the whole season in three days and I honestly can't wait to watch again. The intense atmosphere, spectacular script, breathtaking action scenes and stunning performances made me completely surrender. I can't wait for the third season and also for the rest of the TV shows related to the Marvel universe on Netflix. Marvel's Luke Cage is next and, if it is as good as Daredevil and Jessica Jones, Netflix will make history.",9 "This sci-fi action sequel with big effects, armour and weaponry is worth the time and money of someone who absolutely loved the first Iron Man movie, but this movie doesn't have any brighter or better ideas than the first. There's lots of things in this movie that are top-notch, including the occasional amount of humour, the action, villains, heroes and thematic ideas throughout. But just don't expect it to beat the first film, which was very enjoyable. Iron Man 2 succeeds in some of the most important things that superhero action and sci-fi movies truly need, beginning in a very promising an entertaining first act that settles us into the plot, which is Tony Stark facing pressure by the government to share his weapons with the world while battling a new enemy, Whiplash, played by Mickey Rourke. The antagonist of the film is honestly very good, with his motive being extremely appealing as he is trying to defeat Iron Man to prove that the hero's armour and weapons can be destroyed. The action sequences, especially the prolonged one during the last act, are very well-done, with multiple special effects and stylish moves portrayed by characters. Most people who don't enjoy the Marvel movies or sci-fi superhero action flicks will find that this movie simply isn't their taste when it comes to the genre, which some will have adored the first Iron Man. Unfortunately for some, this sequel is messy and boring, with unnecessary moments and the pacing becoming flat before the climax.

J.K. Rowling captivated both readers and audiences with her story of a young boy who discovers the existence of magic and ultimately must fight to save it. Despite an understandably mixed reaction from book purists, I believe the films are entertaining on their own merits. They aren't all perfect, but the good far outweighs the bad. The series hit a road bump with 2016's Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them, based upon the in-universe book of the same name, but with an entirely new story written for the screen by Rowling herself. I watched it in preparation for this film, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, and found it a passable yet underwhelming installment that would likely entertain youngsters. However, the Potter series improved over time, so I hoped it might be a similar case here. Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that I report Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald a thudding disappointment. Most adult fans will likely gawk at this installments' outrageous rewriting of lore and needlessly convoluted storyline, though young kids may enjoy the creatures when they appear. Despite a brilliant cliffhanger, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is a long, tedious, and pointless cash grab that further dampens the franchise. Newt Scamander (An admirably dedicated Eddie Redmayne) is asked by Albus Dumbledore (An underused Jude Law) to capture escaped convict Grindelwald (A surprisingly enjoyable Johnny Depp), and only agrees so he can locate his love interest, the Auror Tina (Katherine Waterson). Newt takes Muggle friend and comedic relief character Jacob (An annoying Dan Fogler) for the ride, who is having forced relationship drama with Tina's magic sister Queenie (Allison Sudol). However, all must come together in order to stop Grindelwald and save the wizarding world. I'd mention the other characters and subplots here, but their presence in this story is either unnecessary or would be a spoiler. This is the worst film of the series. The storyline is needlessly complicated, the script and direction are reminiscent of a soap opera, and some of the actors read their lines as though seeing them for the first time. The beasts are barely present and are still less convincing than the creatures from 10 years ago. The lead characters remain frustratingly boring (with one exception), being rushed from one action scene to the next and talking about romance problems rather than receiving development so we might care about them. I've spent 4 and a half hours with these people, but they all have less depth than Harry and Co. did at the halfway mark of Chamber of Secrets, before the storyline even got juicy. Lastly, J.K. Rowling's continued insistence on thinly-veiled political commentary will turn off a portion of her audience and fly over the heads of the children who just came to see magic and creatures. On a positive note, Depp, Redmayne, and Sudol make most of this mess bearable, and the ending twists are potentially brilliant if utilized properly in films 3-5. The tone is more consistent and the film has fleeting moments of charm. However, the overall product is too mediocre to warrant seeing in the theater. I sincerely hope J.K. Rowling can realize the potential of her story at this point and use it in the fullest. If Fantastic Beasts 3 is anywhere as bad as this, I will give up on this prequel series and mentally decannonize them. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is a slow, poorly-executed mess with uninteresting heroes, mediocre effects, and the intrigue of a bland soap opera. Despite some devoted performances and two devilish twists, this film's biggest Crime is turning a once brilliant franchise into yet another generic and forgettable blockbuster. Should the follow-up be this bad, I'll gladly Obliviate these entries from my memory.",4 "I hoped 'Wednedsay' to be good but it turned out to be much more than that i.e. An absolute watch. Coming to the story, it is suspenseful and gripping. And many a times it feels like Harry Potter because of the school, magic and solving a mystery due to which this feels a little predictable. Still it turns on sound to be different from it because of Wednesday herself. The performances are great by the whole team and many of the actors we have seen before and their experience is enormous but Wednesday shines above all due to her mean attitude, mean expression, mean caring dialogues, mean cute dialogues and mean what not dialogues which surely make us laugh. I have seen Jenna Ortega in a movie previously named 'X' where she played a role of a very simple girl and in Wednesday she felt like a new version of herself and by this we can know what she can do ahead. After Wednesday the character which I liked the most was the 'Thing' which made us awed did by just hand signals, Wednesday's roomate Enid was cute and funny too. The CGI in Wednesday looks perfect. May it be the landscapes, animals, fire or the background. It lifts up the show. Overall you can enjoy Wednesday with your family and have fun with Wednesday's mean attitude and her journey of solving the mystery.",8 Not an oscar winner but it tries too hard to be funny. Explosions and special effects are awesome and as long as you have low expectations it's worth watching if you have nothing better to do.,6 "Cultural story line was interesting, funny. bizarre. Not sure how to say much that has not already been said. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had not wasted over 2 hours that would have been better spent digging for worms to fish with or eating a bowl of frosted flakes with bananas and strawberries (which would have been more appetizing). 90 minutes would have done it for me....make that 45 minutes. Way too much hype for a theatrical mess. Maybe best foreign film but best movie of the year, ha. Just goes to show the Academy is screwed up. This film does not stand in the same arena with movies like 1917 or Harriet.",4 Is totaly creative. Art of writing story. Must think twice ot more way to find out way.,8 "Knives out is a murder mystery which is better than the average murder mystery. For a start the cast list of Knives Out is excellent. This includes Daniel Craig as Benoit Blank who is hired to investigate the murder of the rich patriarch Harlon Thrombey played by the great Christopher Plummer. As you watch the movie you come up with your own ideas of who is behind the murder. I guyess some of my ideas were right and some were wrong, but the clues are all in the movie if you are clever enough to pick them up. An enjoyable watch although the movie probably will not lose much when it is shown on the small screen.",6 "Everything about the movie is perfect.Music,background score,action,all will make seat on the edge of seat starting the second half of movie...as a Hindi speaker,really upset that could not match Tamil and Telugu superiority.Big thumbs up from me.",10 "Was it an okay movie? Sure. Did it make me laugh? Yeah it did. Honestly though, there was nothing that just completely impressed me or my husband during this movie. We left very disappointed. We are huge fans of Pulp Fiction, and Reservoir Dogs, and many other Quentin Tarantino movies, but this did not live up to the hype at all. It felt like it was trying to build up to something great, but never did. Very disappointed. If you're a Tarantino fan, I definitely don't recommend.",5 "I'll try to keep it spoiler free for all of you. (After the edit there will be some spoilers) And this show is 6.5, not 6 nor a 7. First of all - Almost no ""physical action"", no explosions or guns or cool fighting scenes. Now for the juice- The show took existing stereotypes, or as I like to call them, ""templates"" and inserted them perfectly into the show. At first glance, we see the templates as hollow and shallow - Only as templates. But as the story progresses, or more like the Main Character (Clay) progress, the hollowness and gaps in said templates are filled. Which is refreshing. I never thought I'd find such templates, stereotypes, interesting and insightful. The next thing, that really kept me tied to the chair (I finished the show IN ONE SITTING) was the politics. So much politics between the ""wrongdoers"". I loved that. It felt so real. I will not expand on it much, since I'll have to give out spoilers, so watch for yourself for this bit. And my last praise - The relatability. Not only I could relate to Hannah, I could also relate to Clay and even some of the support/""wrongdoers"". It started 'black and white' kinda show, but as the hollowness was filled, the more Grey it became and relatable. (Yet not Grey enough to cover their guilt, but it's just my opinion). Clay. I want to expand about why I disliked him (at first, almost to the end of the show), but you'll have to watch for yourself. I don't wanna spoil. EDIT: Now, after some sleep and rethinking, I'm editing my review. Honestly, there are so many problems I forgot to mention... 1. Many characters don't get development or exploration. In other words, despite filling SOME gaps in the hollowness of the characters, they don't truly break them out of their stereotype. 2. Continuity problem? (SPOILERS!) - They have formed that sort of narrative or agenda that ""Hanna's tapes are always true"", yet the tape about Zach isn't 100% true and they just let it slide? Isn't it supposed to bring up doubts even if only 95% is true? (Hannah said he threw her letter, yet he shows said letter to Clay) 3. THE MAIN CHARACTER. I can't stress it enough. 4. (SPOILERS ABOUT THE ENDING!!) The ending felt weaker than it should have. I felt as if they weren't focusing enough on Hanna's inner world as much as they should - Even visually. As in I think they should have ""shown"" her inner world through metaphors, or seeing the world through her effed up mind, etc etc.",7 "Thanks to these writers who no nothing of the source material, the franchise is pretty much ruined ( save a few movies). I was extremely excited for this series, but after the first 2 episodes I don't think I can bring myself to watch much more. I have yet to go back. I love Loki but everything we've loved him for has been ruined. These people writing for and running Marvel have one agenda...and that is PC, inclusivity and the like. Nothing is based on merit, only how you look, and clearly who you have sex with. What a shame. I happen to be a brown girl who loved a white guy named Loki. But who cares.",3 "If you're looking to satisfy your GOT itch then this probably isn't what you're looking for. Now if you want a soap opera with a few dragons then this is it. Originally made it thru 1.5 episodes when it first came out before losing interest. Came back to it finally a few weeks ago. As with most HBO shows it's visually impressive with a great cast. What disappointed me was the lack of action and pace to the show. It felt more like a As the World Turns wanna be GOT. There was not a great deal of action to be had to keep me interested for each episode. I'm hoping that things pick up for season 2. There's a lot of potential here for a great show.",6 "The Good - RDJ is great as usual and is well supported by the remarkable Guy Pearce. Some, and only some one-liners hit the mark. The action and visual effects are a dazzling treat to behold. And that's the end of it. There is nothing else in this movie that is truly good to write home about. The Bad - Where to even begin? This is one awful movie that shall take the studio a lot of soul-searching and fundamental reworking (irrespective of how much money this movie rakes in), in order to even attempt getting this great superhero franchise back on track. The direction is so shoddy that any recently passed out film school alumnus could have done a better job. The plot, characterization, story arc, and narration is simply all over the place and meanders along a confounding, restless, and disoriented path. Hardcore comic book fans and Iron Man aficionados like me will certainly spew vitriol at seeing Mandarin - one of the greatest comic book villains and one of the fiercest adversaries of Iron Man - being reduced to a mere gimmick. The character's gross misrepresentation simply cannot be overlooked. Add to this, the character of Aldrich Killian - who in reality is nothing more than a minion and a small-time foe of Iron Man - being given superiority and control over Mandarin, and any mildly interested follower of Iron Man will begin to wonder if it would have been more prudent to hire some avid comic book fans to harness this script. Even objective moviegoers without any predilections towards the comics, will be left largely dissatisfied at the total decimation of the narrative structure. This film is like a Hollywood 'Singham' or a 'Rowdy Rathore' in a superhero mold - that's how bad it is. Its nothing but a shrewd attempt to milk the cash cow and surreptitiously deliver insipid milk in a glossy packet to the unsuspecting audiences. Those who've been comparing this rancid somnolence to ""The Avenger"" and ""The Dark Knight"" - two of the greatest superhero movies ever - and those who claim that ""Iron Man 3"" amalgamates the tones of both the aforementioned films, have either been bribed handsomely by the producers or perhaps they have watched a completely different movie. This film is more analogous to such superhero stinkers like ""Batman & Robin"", ""Catwoman"", Spiderman 3"", ""Green Lantern"", and ""Superman Returns"". Quite simply, one of the worst superhero movies ever, and a real blemish on the reputation of the classic 1st installment and the vastly superior 2nd installment.",4 "first of all there are two words to describe this movie Totally Awesome!!! there i say it despite review from many critics or gossip by people who already watched it at the screening or in other country mainly in Asia because they've got an early release date, ignored their gossip or critics review.In my opinion this movie was one of most excited,entertaining superhero movie ever made so far for those people who already watch iron man before or a big fan from it's comic book they totally going to loved this one maybe for quality yes it's not as good as the first one but it's not a really terrible movie like they say there still a lot of terrible superhero movie out there and this is not include Iron man 2 was a good sequel it's not great but it's good and really worth watching from the special,visual,sound effect was perfect but what makes this movie it is not as good as the first one or not surpass the critics expectation because a few stupid scene and lot of slapstick humor that just really ruined this movie like the humor for example instead of clever and funny comedy like the first one this sequel turned it into a stupid slapstick comedy not just that if the first one all of the joke and humor was perfectly pitch by all of the character that doesn't happen in this one some even try hard to be funny and that just really annoying for us to watch and that just really ruined this movie potential and not just that some scene just really stupid to watch like there is one time happy tony stark driver driving around the circuit of formula one with a ordinary car and that just really stupid and don't make any sense at all and because of stupid scene like that really make this movie looks bad and one of the most important one bad editing really really bad one and because two of these minor mistake favreau did really break it's quality and lack of originality that the first one had to offer maybe he's in hurry making this or maybe the budget that was being cut off effect the final picture all of this was just really sad and destroyed it potential to be as good as dark night or even better.the acting was good and a breakthrough performance from Sam Rockwell as Justin hammer really lived up this sequel as usual Robert Downey delivered it everything from it start until finish and a little disappointment from don cheadle as Lt.James Rhodes replacing Terrence Howard other than that a surprise good performance from scarlet Johanson as the sexy shield agent black widow as well as mickey Rourke for playing a vengeance full scientist Ivan vanko despite all of that minor mistake this movie is really worth watching for and just really awesome superhero movie in the end let just hope for the best for this movie to do well in the box office so iron man franchise didn't end up just like that despite all of the bad review or people talking that is not as good as the first one i am just has a big expectation about this franchise to be great and i hope all of that could change in the next iron man movie (if it's going to be made)and favreau should direct again to proof those critic that has underestimate him in this movie and make the most awesome superhero movie ever.",6 "Unfortunately the movie has nothing to deliver, the story was completely trash, jump scares scenes are overused and you will know them before happening, boring dialogues and acting.. even Vera and Patrick showed up for a few minutes in the whole movie!! Totally doesn't worth your time.",2 "The second season is also very good, mainly discussing the concept of imperfect victims. The human design is not collapsed, but more realistic, because no one is perfect. But the overall shooting is a bit messy, the rhythm is a little slow, and the theme is not very clear. However, the courage of the play is still great, and the violence and QJ are very straightforward, without any evasion and beautification.",8 "I really think if I hadn't first seen SHAOLIN SOCCER (also starring and directed by Stephen Chow), I would have enjoyed this movie a little more. That's because although there are some funny and very surrealistic moments, the level of humor and the great storyline from this film is a definite step down. However, on its own, it's still a cute and engaging film--with the most ridiculous kung fu action that makes this a minor parody of the genre. Of all the aspects of the film, the music, special effects and action are top-notch. The story line itself, is the weakest point--with a plot that seems to meander and perhaps be a little ""pieced together"" looking. That's because characters often rapidly change into totally different characters--almost like there has been a re-write mid-movie. Overall, worth watching though not exactly the brilliant film its predecessor, SHAOLIN SOCCER was. However it still is superior to such kung fu parodies as THEY CALL ME BRUCE and KUNG POW: ENTER THE FIST.",8 To be honest I only watched the first few minutes. They were so bad I hadn't the courage to go further. I prefer not knowing the millions that were wasted on that movie.,1 One of the decent horror/thriller in recent times. Its good and stayed interested throughout.Though there are many plot holes its not that noticeable. Cast is amazing. I enjoyed watching it .,7 "A classic case of where the mechanics of marriage become the insidious culprit to sexual indiscretion...John Millaney is the overly mortgaged white collar malcontent who is callous with his regard toward marital fidelity...He has an affair with his wife's sister, Cynthia Bishop, she is a morally bankrupt loner who resents her sister's relatively structured existence...Gram Dalton is the voyeuristic creep who preys on the dissatisfaction of married women with the seven year itch syndrome, and other disgruntled and socially misplaced women as well!! He perceives vulnerability in women to be sexually stimulating!! His ultimate undoing is his creative resolution to boredom, and this basically backfires in an absolutely horrendous way!!! Ann Millaney (John's wife) is torn between a perfect marriage and an emotional millennium.. She is convinced that not only does doing things her way work, IT MUST!!. It is not necessary to have all the missing pieces to the puzzle in her marriage because she realizes the ramifications of such a heinous plight!! What presses everyone's buttons? Is it kink, is it bi, or bi for the night, is it emotional nurturing?...James Spader's character (Gram Dalton) has a life that is based on comparative stability, everybody (mostly women) can expose their lewd nuances while he keeps his a secret, once someone has tampered with his quirkiness which is close to the vest, he has no ability to cope, thus, he exaggerates his mistakes!!!All of the characters in this film are hit with the grim reality that not accepting responsibility accomplishes nothing....They all engage in a form of permanent self destruction!! Being flippant about immorality has a definite rude awakening!! What seems complicated is really very simple, and the depraved intrigue of perversion merely brings out all of their most dreaded skeletons in the closet!!!! Seldom in a film is there such a precise poignancy about things that bother people that really should not bother them at all...This is what gets them into so much trouble!! Steven Soderbergh's production efforts in this film were merely a harbinger of things to come, as he has gone on to produce and direct fabulous movies (""Good Night and Good Luck"", ""Syrianna"", and ""Traffic"", to name but a few!!) This film effectuates a noteworthy devotion to an unintentional and sordid sexual authenticity!! Sundance is a network for the non-conventional..""Sex Lies and Videotape"" is testament to the fact that what appears gray flannel is not always the panacea people would like to believe it to be!! Marital upheaval is all about emotional affliction in this movie. Latent reactions are a manifestation of psychological insecurity. You are never going to get what you want out of a relationship because you don't know what that is!! This was the summon substance of what the film ""Sex Lies and Videotape"" was all about!! This film had a personal dedication to it as well!! A very well made film, I give it 5 stars!!!",10 "The written story would, perhaps, have been interesting. But the film, for me, was farcical. As it travel through time, every 7-10 minutes or so, it became less and less realistic to me. Just glad it didn't win AA for Best Picture. So much pre-awards chatter that it could likely become the film most chosen. So many ""cool"" moments--war is not cool. So many coincidences. Listening to the ""bonus"" features is quite misleading. Sorry! It felt like a waste of two hours to me. On the other hand, I very much enjoyed the productions of ""The Joker"", and after seeing 1917, ""Once Upon a Time...."" , certainly gained more appreciation from my perspective. Go ahead and see it and make your own opinions.",5 "Kung Fu Hustle is an awesome movie. The fight scenes are extremely entertaining and well-made, and most of the jokes are actually funny! I highly recommend this movie.",8 "This teenage vision of the show doesn't work for me. I wanted to see a.classic tim burton's dark tale but it feels like a mix between smallville and the last encarnation of sabrina but happier. I desagree about the general view related to Jenna Ortega's preformance,in some scenes her acting looks like out of character., and both Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta-Jones don't deliever. In the bright side Emma Myers, Christina Ricci and. Fred Armisen are by far the best preformances.of the show. The show is funny, perhaps to many episodes, it could be shorter, and the final big bad boss was pointless and boring.",7 "In April 1986, an explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics becomes one of the world's worst man-made catastrophes.",9 "I am certainly no archeologist, but I can try to make objective assessment. What is the point of being a nomadic hunter-gatherer if you have to journey hundreds(?) of miles to hunt your prey? Without pack animals - how would you carry enough food back to your settlement to survive a winter - most of what you could carry (or even drag on a sleigh, as is mentioned at one point) would have been eaten by the time you got back. And why on earth (pun intended) would you settle where there is no food? And where did they get water and firewood from? They were walking through lush forrests, taking a bath in the cleanest water - but you would have me believe that they would rather go and live on a barren mountainside - above treeline, apparently? Really?!? Don't think so... Some nice shots - and some ok CGI - could almost not tell when the wolf was real or not.",4 "I'm a bit late to the party here (1500 reviews, wow!) so I'm not expecting this review to go very far. But, man, what an amazingly creative film. And hilarious. I haven't laughed this much at a movie in a long time. Not necessarily one I was running out to see in the theater, but as soon as it was on Max I queued it up. My daughters and wife have seen it, and I loved it. I mean maybe a couple of moments were the tiniest bit uncomfortable? But for any of the hate about this movie being preachy, etc, I can only say I applaud its subversiveness in its women-versus-men central conflict. Great performances, amazing talent on display from set design to costuming and props. Music was great, Gosling's abs were on point, and Margot Robbie - what a perfect role for her. Do yourself a favor and see it, enjoy the ride, laugh at yourself a little, laugh at this wonderful world - laugh at Kate McKinnon. Omg, her and Allan - best characters in the movie. 8/10.",8 "I started watching this and by the second episode I wanted to know what happened next. By the fifth week I went and bought the book. The program follows the book quite well. I cannot wait for the next instalment. Please hurry up and make it. I also love the casting, brilliant",10 "Started so well but after the last episode..im wasting my time by watching this..would be great if i have a time machine, reverse the time and never watch this show again.",1 "Five minutes into the first episode something happed that had never happend before: the whole family except for me stopped watching. I get that the writers wanted to integrate the evolution of soaps into the series. But if you want to pull this off you better make sure it is either extremely funny or put an intruiging element right there in the beginning. Now it were just a couple of super boring episodes with no interesting plot. It gets better once you get past the first couple of episodes. Only then the actual story begins. But still, the story elements from the first episodes could have just as well been integrated with the later episodes. I'd give it a 5/10 if the story had developped properly after these first episodes but I decided not to. The ending was rather frustrating with ridiculous floating people on wires and all to convenient turnarounds. It could have been worse, but not that much worse.",3 When i read that people say that this wasn't loyal to the book..I'm in shock. They split this up into 2 parts. How is that not the MOST faithful adaptation to the book? As a movie and book adaptation..it's the best out of the series. The actors were superb..the visuals were stunning..and the directing is better than ever for HP films. This is top notch film making. You may have to know a lot from the previous ones to understand what is going on. There is a point at the movie where it gets kind of slow..but it helps tell the story..and it is only about 20 minutes. I had high expectations for this and the movie exceeded those expectations. I can't wait to see part 2.,10 Too much computer time for me. Great for beginner knowledge. Acting good. Plot just okay.,6 "The movie is entertaining, funny and it does touches on more serious topics, there is times that it feels that those topics are too on the face and can ruin the passing but is rarely noticeable. The way that the characters evolution is natural and interesting and I can sympathise with a lot of the characters. Is a fun movie and making a Barbie movie a pg13 is a really risky but innovative way of representing this iconic character Is also really important to notice that the movie because of its nature is going to cause a lot of polarisation and hate, I think that the movie could have been more subtle on delivering the ideology but I understand why they didn't do it.",8 "Christ, what an awful film. Just doesn't make sense. So so stupid.",3 The performance and acting of this cute Labrador easily surpasses the likes of many Bollywood actors. The dog acts through the eyes. Rakshit has also given a superb performance. Fantastic cinematography and direction. This movie can make rocks cry. MASTERPIECE!!!,10 "I love time travel anime like Erased, Stein's Gate, the Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Mirai, etc. But this show is not very good. Premise is neat about a loser going back in time to save his girlfriend while he becomes a stronger, more confident person, but there's not enough likeable characters (you're supposed to cheer for gangs, no thanks). Maybe gang culture is big in Japan but I just couldn't root for any of these characters. There weren't really any female characters besides the girlfriend and she just seemed like a cute/nice character the main had to save (just a prize). As other reviewers have noted, there are massive plot holes that open up immediately that derail the story further. Animation is nice at least.",3 "They looked at the Sherlock Holmes stories from a different perspective. But the story is weak, even very weak. If you want to watch a Holmes movie with a different taste, you can see the 2015 production of Mr. Holmes.",4 "I enjoyed the first season. Engaging plots with decent writing and above average acting. There are some annoying characters but it's questionable as to whether that's the writing or acting. An annoying bad character is just plain annoying. Looking forward to the second season and possible resolution of the main plot. Nutshell: it's a fun watch and blessedly free of PC pandering.",7 "This grossly overrated and dull film is awful. Very few women in their thirties choose to have sex with 15-year-old boys. Why didn't the writers make Michael a few years older, to make the relationship believable? Why was Kate Winslet given a makeunder to make her so plain? Why did the writers give her a cold, aloof, unlikeable personality? Why would Michael be attracted to someone like that? She should have been beautiful, seductive, romantic, warm, loving, caring etc. - so that the audience would like her and believe the attraction that Michael has for her. The trial is stupid. The idea that Hanna would rather serve a much longer sentence because she's too ashamed to admit that, at the time of the crime, she was illiterate - is ridiculous. No matter how much shame there was to being unable to read, it was tiny in comparison to being a mass murderer. In any case, it would still have clearly been a mass murder of civilians even if you couldn't read, so she's still guilty. The film doesn't show any of the mass murder in question, which is yet another deficiency the film has.",2 No real content. Overrated and waste of time. Doesn't really have anything to call it a movie. Just some random snaps and predictable plots,1 Hitting and more hitting. I guess that is what Marvel means by BAM. I couldn't wait until it was over. I love Michael B Jordan but long to see him in a drama. I don't read comic books so I'll stay away from comic book movies too.,3 "The script (not ""plot"") seemed design to provided slightly extended cameos for actors with recognizable names, but not enough to make to make any of them credible suspects, even briefly. Daniel Craig's attempt at a southern accent has been much criticized, but even worse, the particular dialect was not a fit to the physical presentation of the character: Craig's appearance and to how he moved. Every time he spoke, I had a strong urge to stop watching. A character's throwing-up whenever she lied was worse than lazy screenwriting -- it seemed intended as a deliberate insult to the audience. From very early on, I felt like I should just stop watching, but the high rating kept giving me false.",3 "The casting of this show is real odd. Some were great (Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Rhys Ifans, Olivia Cooke in particular), but others are really weird and just don't look or feel right.. and as the characters age, they're replaced with actors that don't flow well, it's quite odd, confusing and a shame. GOT was a big boot to attempt to fill and working from mainly the books would have helped it enormously, so the writers of this have done a reasonable job. Shame that there weren't more connections to the story arch of the main original books, as that could have been really interesting and given it more depth. Overall this is more than watchable and I enjoyed big chunks, it's just poorly shaped and corners have been cut.",6 Civil War was one of my favorite comic book story lines.This had a story and has the best action (besides infinity war) I have ever seen. 8/10.,8 "Absolutely no storyline, killed many, got shot many times, got hit by cars umpteen times, fell from the balcony, fell from 200+ stairs. I guess the producers had to end this franchise as they have lost all credibility. I hope Jon will not rise from the grave and give us chapter 5 & produce another killing spree. Pls people, write better scripts next time and give us value for money. After watching this movie , I had a huge headache. I don't have enough words to describe this nonsensical movie, Hollywood has certainly gone to the dogs, bereft of credible storylines & this movie is much ado about nothing. Keanu shud b ashamed to star in these movies.",2 "I was very optimistic coming into the movie, especially considering the incredibly high rating on Rotten Tomatoes and here. It would be an understatement to say I was disappointed, the movie was really boring and lame, the backstories of the characters developed really slowly, plot arcs were poorly written and the Dr. Sivana many comics fans could have grown to love was portrayed and developed very poorly. After 90 minutes of lameness and Shazam growing to learn his powers, we expect at least some sort of action, battles, at least something, and guess what, we don't get it. The movie was full of good humor, but it was TOO much, to a point you might think you're watching a comedy or some movie for children, it really suited its age rating, as it did indeed feel like one. On a good note though, some deep themes were brought up and explained pretty well, while Zachary Levi's acting was the only bright spot of the movie. 4/10.",4 "The movie is cinematically nice and the scenes are spectacular but the story is simply weird and hard to follow. Not only because it is confusing but throughout the movie you constantly question the character's decisions and actions. None of it feels natural or ""right"". Instead, the story line feels forced and feels like the Hollywood take on everything British/European. The French are depicted overly French and the British characters are just Americans that play Brits which is painfully obvious throughout the movie. It was just hard to watch and left me with a headache. If you must watch it, you better lower your expectations.",3 Far too political. Not enough action. Daniel Bruhl best thing in it.,4 "Nothing to spoil.. Nothing happens. I waited to see the point of the movie, but Unfortunately it never came. And I was so excited for this one too..",4 "Even if you know is just a movie, not a documental, the plot fades at the end. I do like the work of Di Caprio and Pit, but Sharon Tate's character is lame, does not give justice to her story, you truly expect more, and she is just a dol face. I'm disappointed.",6 "This movie glosses over too much of the relationship (which is central to the story) and spends too much time on the music and meaningless scenes. I understand the music is necessary however at the expense of the story, it means the film is severely lacking. Bradley Cooper's acting doesn't change whether his character is drunk or not; he just looks dirty almost all the time. There is NO sense of actual chemistry between Cooper and Lady Gaga, despite some of the critic's reviews.",4 "We really enjoyed 'Knives Out'. Most people did evidently. And it's no surprise that they wanted to cash in on that success. However they should've waited until they had a solid script built around a really good story. To say this is a weak derivative would be to do a disservice to the term derivative. They certainly mentioned the game 'Clue' enough to make one think there was an appreciation of it, but even that mass marketed mystery board game, with a depth and complexity aimed at being accessible to the widest percentage of people, was more complex and compelling. Rian Johnson isn't without talent, however writing a sequel to 'Knives Out' was perhaps simply beyond him. It's no surprise that a studio signed off on this, as they sign off on garbage far worse than this - but this was a MASSIVE swing & an even larger miss. This could have been something really really good. Maybe 'Knives Out' was lighting in a bottle, whereas 'Glass Onion' was only a bottle. Massively disappointed. Praying that Daniel Craig hasn't signed anything committing him to another of these.",7 "The movie has a great beginning, great action/fight scenes, kinda abuse of CGI, but of course you would expect this from a hero movie. For be a hero movie it brings something a bit ""different"" than other ones, not sure what exactly is but it is :p It will be a solid 8 if they did not screw up with the lame plot twist but probably comics is same s*** so not sure; im not a true fan so... And for last, the jokes were pretty bad, typical PG-13 American humor. Gal gadot acting and voice were ""something""...",3 "Chernobyl is about the nuclear accident that happened in Pripyat, Ukraine, April 26, 1986. It is a historical, drama (I would even call it a horror) mini-series. It is in the 1980s so the people there look old fashioned and act old fashioned. The plot was amazing. It was well structured and fluid enough. The dialogue was great and helped you to remember that they were in the Soviet Union. The mini series is in the first person so you can see it from each of theirs point of view. This also helps to make it more terrifying. The characters are great but they speak in an English accent, which makes it less realistic and it might be a problem for some people. The acting was great. I would recommend this to people interested in good TV.",9 "Just as you think it can not get any worse it does. Boring, bad acting, bad writing, action scenes are nonsense, jokes are not funny, villian is cliché. Just no.",1 "The first Avatar was a great movie. This one should not have been made. Total waste of time and effort. Pretty pictures but that's all it has. The story was all about how evil and uncaring the humans are, yadda yadda yadda. This seriously shows how little creativity is left in the movie industry these days. It's all about wpw, we got lucky and made some money on this movie, so let's do it all over again and see if we can make some more money off it. Oh, and let's have the primatives with spears and bows beat the hell out of a trained mercenary force. That's always good, right? Don't waste your time and money on this.",2 "Could have done lot better It was a movie of hulk , cap and iron man talking a loooooooooot and just talking",3 "Season One of The Punisher does reasonably well, presently a mildly interesting scenario featuring a somewhat dark but compelling main character. It gets into trouble by straying too often into the realm of gore, to the point where it seems the writers just wanted to gross the audience out rather than satisfy The Punisher's rather straightforward sense of justice. Season Two starts to sputter rather quickly before taking the series into a nose dive. It consists of a paper thin plot, which may be fine if it wasn't also surprisingly light on action. Doesn't help that the main actress of the show who plays the DHS agent delivers most of her lines like she was a ventriloquist, or that the main villain not only looks like Jim Carrey's stunt double but acts about as well as him too. Perhaps it's better that they didn't green light the series for a Season Three, as it helped spare further ruination of a potentially great character.",4 "I honestly thought that this sequel was definitely better than the first. It had a little more comedy and it showed the real life decisions of Peter Parker and Spiderman. Honestly, I enjoyed it more and I would see it again. In the beginning of the movie, it showed that Peter worked at Joe's Pizza, but got fired, he's failing his college classes and he's slacking off on his job at the Daily Bugle. Suddenly, the love of his life, Mary Jane Watson decides to get married and Harry Osborn has his mind on only killing Spiderman. Peter Parker only wants to have a normal life, so he quits. Peter later thinks that New York still needs a hero, so he decides to become Spiderman again. What happens next?",10 "Extraction is an action thriller film directed by Sam Hargrave. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Rudhraksh Jaiswal, Randeep Hooda, Golshifteh Farahani, Pankaj Tripath, Priyanshu i and David Harbour. A fearless black market mercenary, embarks on the most deadly extraction of his career when he's enlisted to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned international crime lord. To summarize this film in short, high octane action thriller with minimal plot followed by fast paced screenplay. As mentioned the plot of the film is very simple but terrific action scenes and superfast screenplay of the film will keep you engaged to the film through out. Acting is superb and Chris Hemsworth was spot on with his character. He did the job perfectly. Randeep Hooda an Indian talent was also spot on, Rudhraksh Jaiswal was impressive. Wished Pankaj Tripathi and Priyanshu Painyuli could've got more screentime. Overall a decent action filled film and if you are a lover of hardcore action film then this is a must watch for you.",7 Not a single bird in the movie; Neither a box. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,1 "Back in 2001, I remember sitting down with my family at 10:00pm to watch 45minutes of pure adrenaline and suspense with no adverts and commercials on BBC2. I would look forward to every Sunday night as I was properly obsessed with 24...it had it all, suspense, action, romance, espionage and believability. Of course, this was all before Jack became an action hero and the ""real-time"" factor became lost. I liked the fact that in the first two seasons, 20 or so minutes were given to Jack driving or an episode was given to him purely in a jail cell...why? because it made it believable, the fact that the entire season was 24hrs in real time had never been done before, and was done so brilliantly. Season 1 starts first of all with introducing the characters and then once that's done things get rolling. We meet Jack Bauer, a CTU (counter terrorist unit) agent with a wife and daughter (Elisha Cuthbert). What happens then is that there's a threat against a Presidential Candidate and that Jack must solve the threat. However, things get complicated when his family is put in danger by the same people after to kill the candidate...so jack must now do two jobs at once; save his family and protect the next president, which also includes sniffing out a mole in his workplace. It's all very tense stuff and extremely entertaining, i've since bought the DVD box-set and re-watched seasons 1 and 2 3 times now. Season 2 is more violent and action packed and also has a very good story, but it's not up to the same standards. However, everything is still believable and the series still holds you captivated. However, it's after this that the series goes downhill... I might be biased because after Season 2, 24 went to SKyOne...which meant advert breaks every 15minutes which ruined the pacing of the show. The real-time factor also seemed lost, with Jack travelling to Mexico within about thirty minutes and driving from one-side of LA to the other in a matter of 2 minutes....the rest of the series (including the now airing season 6) isn't a matter of real-time but how can jack save the world or the USA within 24 episodes. The series has truly gone downhill, and over the last 4 series it's been agonising to watch favourite characters get killed off or disappear..and just when you think the series might end...it doesn't, it's revived for the next year. It's a shame...what started out as possibly the best show ever, unfortunately transformed to the run-of-the-mill action series. What made the series such a hit was that it was unpredictable, you didn't know who would be a mole and who would die next...nowadays it's all predictable and you KNOW Jack will in the end save the day. So I'm giving 24 a 9/10. The first two seasons rock my socks off, they're the best TV can offer us but as always, the best things in life never last...and 24 is pure proof of that.",9 "I really didn't like Wanda Vision, also falcon and the winter soldier was terrible, then we have Loki, arguably the best character out of all of them but once again Disney blows it, it's so hard work and quite frankly halfway through the 2nd episode I lost all interest, you would have to be the hardest of marvel fanboys or fangirls to honestly enjoy it.",3 "When you can predict the antagonist/protagonist by the color of their skin, there is too much political influence in your media. This is Netflix. Take a guess what color they make the bad guy. Every single one, every single time. With a run time of around two hours, I expect far more substance. To a certain point the unseen evil of this film can be considered an artistic choice, but after the first hour it becomes clear this is nothing more than a lack of artistic direction. A shorter film (70-90 minutes) might not have suffered from this to the same extent. In summary, this film seems to draw all inspiration from films like The Happening and A Quiet Place, and substitutes only the most minor of details. Anyone seeing originality here has clearly never ventured outside the echo chamber that is Netflix. Sandra Bullock's convincing acting, nor the delightful camerawork can salvage this train wreck from a three star rating.",3 Always skipped the part where Cameron Tucker (aka CAM) speaks... he was so annoying... show would have better vibes without him.,6 Season 2 is on point! Very well thought out writing. The special effects are also done well. Love the old and new cast members.,9 "This movie was the most awful schlock-fest I've seen in at least the past six months. I thought the first movie was okay, not great, but certainly not awful; I was entertained by it. While watching the sequel I was continually incredulous that anyone could consider this movie to be anything other than a smörgåsbord of crap. Sure, people will tell me: ""It's just a movie. Suspend your disbelief."" And while I'm more than happy to suspend my disbelief that there's a kid with superhuman spider powers swinging around New York and fighting crime, I'm not willing to concoct an elevated subway train running through what looks to be midtown Manhattan, said to be bound for Bay Ridge (which is in Brooklyn) but somehow the end of its line faces some body of water (the east river, perhaps?) and there is no platform or station in sight. That was merely part of my gripe with the movie. What about the asinine bank robbery scene where Doc Ock is stealing gold coins of some sort? He makes off with two bags and somehow has enough to buy whatever absurd supplies he needs to rebuild his machine. From where did he order the supplies? ""Wholesale_sci-fi_nuclear_machinery.com?"" Did they deliver it to his run down layer on some dilapidated pier in ... where, Queens? Wouldn't that set off some alarms somewhere? There's only so much disbelief that can be suspended. There has to be some semblance of believability for a movie to work and while superheroes are obviously a fiction, having fleets of cop cars racing down the streets of NY (in 2005? This isn't Dinkin's-era NY), being flipped--and shot at by white nu-metal looking hoods cruising in convertible 50s-era cars--is *bleeping* ridiculous. It's not entertaining, it's insulting and moronic. But hey, the general public seems to be comprised of morons who eat stuff up so long as it makes a lot of noise and has a lot of movement and color and, of course, explosions and property damage. This film dragged on forever with absurd, feckless bits of exposition (the cake scene with the Russian landlord's daughter? Wtf?? What was the point?). ""Spider-man 2"" might as well have been directed by Joel Schumacher; it was almost as bad, if not as bad as ""Batman and Robin"". This movie was a disgrace. I could go on, but why bother ... the people have already spoken and I'm just one lone movie-goer who wishes films didn't have to suck.",1 "In 2016, DC and marvel came up with their superhero vs superhero film. First DC came with dawn of justice which failed both critically and commercially. So eyes went on captain america civil war whether it meets their expectations or not. Does it meet? Plus: 1. Conflict point: The biggest plus point of civil war is the conflict point shown between Steve rogers and Tony stark which would leave you confused to take sides unless you are a fanboy. If you have seen previous MCU movies you will understand the motive of the characters. If you have seen winter soldier you will know that cap was in a situation where he couldn't trust anyone other than himself. His insecurity towards the government forces him not to sign the accords. And if you have seen age of ultron and iron man 3 you understand that tony is regretting for his hasty creation of ultron which lead to several casualties and damage. Also he is upset with his temporary breakup with pepper for whom he destroyed all his suits and wanted to settle down with her. I was like in a position of black widow who is though in Tony's side still shows a soft corner towards cap. 2. Robert Downey Jr: Among performances it's rdj who once again shines as tony stark. In this you get to see an entirely different tony stark who is not humorous and reckless but practical and emotional. Despite not being the main lead, RDJ leaves a mark with his performance. 3. Villain zemo: Zemo is an underrated villain where audience don't realize that without any superpowers or extraordinary human strength successfully rip apart the avengers. 4. Airport battle: The airport battle between team cap and team iron man is the main highlight of civil war. The interaction and action choreography was kickass. 5. Direction: Though Russo brothers direction is not racy like winter soldier, it successfully helps in building the tension. 6. Climax fight: The climax fight of civil war is very emotional which makes you divided. On one hand you can feel the rage of tony and on the other hand you can feel the desperation of cap to protect his friend from his teammate and friend. The climax fight makes both cap and iron man fans emotional. When I was watching I felt like shouting 'STOP FIGHTING' Minus: 1. The color tone of the film is dull at times. It is greyish which does not really suit the film. 2. When black panther came to know zemo's intention why he didn't stop cap and tony from fighting? Verdict: Captain america civil war is more an avengers film than a cap film. It gives you everything which bvs failed to give you. It has emotions, friendship, tension, politics and loads of action. A successful rehearsal for infinity war.",10 I love QT films but this is by far the most dull and boring film he's ever done a couple of standout bits but a real let down.,3 "I wish I could upload a photo as a comment, but I would say that I broke my TV screen waiting the main character to do anything, to grow up, a 26 years old man in a 13 years old child buddy acting like 3 years old baby, you can imagine how annoying is that. Don't start whacking it, waiting him to act like a man or to do something helpful, that may makes it easier to watch. Everything else in the anime is good, other characters are awesome to be honest, kids between age 12-15 trying to make a gange different from others, a one which his members has a principles, they want to be free but they don't want to harm others.",1 "Even though La La Land was released in 2016, until yesterday I had only seen some of its trailers available on the Web. As I didn't like the trailers, I was never motivated enough to see the film. Yesterday, however, I decided to watch it, finally, to confirm (or not) my initial impressions based only on the few scenes I had seen. After seeing the whole film my first impression based on the trailers prevailed, now in a more assertive way. It is a very boring musical, with a banal plot, where the two main protagonists are very uninteresting characters, and the dialogues between them simplistic and shallow. The ""City of Stars"", that was awarded in 2017 with the Oscar for best original song, is the only interesting and valuable contribution of this film.",1 "First of all; movie tries to be fun but is the actual opposite of it. Tons of pop culture, meta-verse references, commentary videos from some Youtube/Twitch streamers doesn't make a ""fun"" element. Secondly; whoever wrote this script has no idea how games works or how is the infrastructure of MMO's works. There is no ""seperated servers"" that includes a character only or some place only like a "" park or building"". And you don't get "" saving "" screen in a multiplayer game when you quit or lost connection etc. Neither you get a ""disconnecting"" screen and still see how car you were driving just smashes into wall. You will be just dropped to main menu. Seriously; there are so many weird scenes that doesn't make sense at all. Last of all; if you have liked this movie either you are a memelord type of kid or just you don't have a taste at all. Not worthy of watching. You can do something better with your time.",3 "The first one was by far better than this one honestly. The characters were not as good and the actions was goofy. The play was also stupid so when they main guy calls the whole thing stupid it makes sense. I was expecting a lot better because of the first one. I have nothing left to say so I have to run out the required characters so sorry Lalalallalalalallalalalallalalalallalalalalalallalalalallalalalallalalalallalalalallalalalallalalallalalalalalalallalalallalalalalalalalalalalalalallalalalalalallalallalalallalalallalalalalalalalallalalallalallalalallalallalalalallalallalalallalaallalallal.",1 13 reasons why is really good movie/book it is like a Mystery/Romance It touches your heart and wants you to keep reading or watching after every episode it is like a game it wants you to keep watching or reading. I rate it out of 10 I love the movie If I were you I would watch it or read it now.,7 "I read some reviews praising the performances and got it to watch at home. At least it meant I could shrink the window whilst doing something meaningful. The movie starts OK, drops to average and finishes too late. The acting is crap. Can I say that? Jackman shows yet again why he is usually a wolf or a singer. Character acting is not his bag. He has a chance to show something, but fails. The script is routine. By part way through you'll be thinking you have seen this before and you probably have. Regular roles and diversions as seen in so many B-grade 'horror' movies. It has the production qualities of a straight-to-DVD release and the bargain bin is where it should rest. The ending is just the dumbest part. You have to accept that the whole police department is just plain incompetent. Instead it was the production team who were.",4 "There's really nothing to this movie. The characters are stale and the protagonist experiences no character development. There are so many unknowns that never get an answer. And things just happen because they can I guess? None of it really makes sense except maybe the very last realization of what group of people might have the best chance at surviving this visually-stimulating horror. Overall, it's just so bad and boring.",2 "Don't even consider watching it. Everything is bad, but the most thing i hate about it, is the conversation between anyone, why in the world are you all speaking at the same time! It's so cringe-worthy and so annoying! it's like a person know what's the other one is going to say before he/she even say it, i thought all movies stopped doing that but i'm mistaken. i really have a lot to say about this stupid movie but i'm so lazy right now to write anymore, urghh i feel so angry wasting 2 hours of my precious time.",2 "I do not understand the hype with this show. Perfect material for a teenage night get-together to watch some cheap horror. The acting is terrible - especially that Nancy girl - every time she comes up I just cringe. The story-line is ridiculously slow and juvenile themed. If you are a high school-er or younger this might be acceptable entertainment, as I see the target viewing market for this a crowd between 12 and 18 years of age maximum. There is not much depth on the adult characters and their interaction - even Winona is only seen screaming and not much else is explored about her persona. It would have been nice to have seen more scenes with the kids parents, or more filming inside the police station...adult interaction in general. Stay away from this, do not believe the hype. I just wasted a few hours I will never get back.",4 "Being a HBO crime drama it's obvious of being wonderful. But lately due to plethora of these shows the genre is gone repetitive. This show offers the small town crime chase like Sharp objects. Troubled protagonists and winded and messy family relations across the town. Mare here is book in itself. She is the lady of the town and it's ironic that she herself is guilt ridden inside due to her past life. She often grives the people taking all their pain. Detective Zabel is a great investigator which leads to the rescuing of two missing girl's. His killing is little sad for me. Rest elements are fine in the shows regarding writing, cinematography. Story telling gives us sudden surprises like Zabel killing and last episode frequent turns. Fine watch but caught in crime repetitive maze.",8 "The film spends a lot of time being dark and mysterious while, in fact, being entirely predictable. If you take a look at the plot elements the complexity of it all is unnecessary and therefore not credible. There's some good sequences, and good performances. But it takes itself too seriously, for what it is, and ends up as pretentious. Meanwhile Jeremy Irons continues to play Jeremy Irons in every role, whatever accent he adopts.",5 Movie is excellent till 1st half but in 2nd half you get bored irritating and may be scratch your hair,5 "I like Venom: Let There Be Carnage because it is based on one of my favorite Marvel characters, Venom. I like that Carnage is a product of Venom, so watching these monsters clashing with each other is phenomenal. Venom: Let There Be Carnage is about a journalist named Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) who has a dark black, Spiderman looking devil named Venom that lives inside his body. Most of the movie shows Eddie and Venom not getting along, because Eddie is sick and tired of having Venom inside his body and Venom wants to be free to eat people. Venom is very clumsy and destructive and Eddie is frustrated because his apartment is a mess. An assassin named Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) knows Eddie and asks to speak to him before his death sentence is carried out. Eddie visits Cletus in prison, but Cletus antagonizes Eddie with his past and Venom comes out of Eddie's body to choke Cletus. Cletus bites Eddie's hand and tastes Venom's blood. So guess what happens? You have to watch the film to find out. This film has amazing CGI graphics. The graphics look so real and the buildings falling apart when Venom climbs between them look real as well. The fighting scenes between these two titans are so incredible that it makes you want to see more. I expected there to be more encounters between Venom and Carnage and was disappointed that there weren't more. The movie has a good combination of comedy and action. The music is appealing in every scene. My favorite part is, of course, the battle between Venom and Carnage in the church. Carnage is huge compared to Venom and looks more powerful than him because Carnage has multiple extremities which Venom does not have. The moral of this film is to never underestimate yourself no matter your size or strength. You do not know if you can win the war if you don't go to battle. I give Venom: Let There Be Carnage 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. This movie is available in theatres Friday, October 1, 2021. Tremember, like all Marvel movies, you have to wait until after the credits for a huge bonus. You have to stay seated for this one! By Ethan P., KIDS FIRST!",8 "Don't waste your time, unless your brain is turned off. If you're a lib sheep, you'll love this garbage. I really like Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, but this movie is an awful retread. Bradley Cooper's fake low voice, a terrible script, loaded with Hollywoke B. S. material like trans maxed and stereotypes of alcoholics, drag queens, Italians, toxic masculinity. I wanted it to be good, but as it progressed, it got worse and worse. Had to turn it off. Read the reviews below. A lot of really low ratings. Good reason. I should have skimmed the ratings first, but my girlfriend wanted to watch it, so I did for about an hour and then turned it off. Terrible sheeple diet garbage. Anyone who watches this and enjoys it is brainwashed.",3 "This movie was actually pretty amazing. Its crazy to see how behind south africa was when it comes to racism. I personally had no idea it was that bad so recently. It broke my heart. This movie was an eye opener for me and it was made wonderfully. Daniel radcliff did an excellent job as well. Its like the true version of shawshank redemption. Dont get me wrong i absolutely love stephen king but this is obviously a lot more serious, being true and all, a lot more emotions. Friendship, love, justice. Wonderful film.",7 Visually it was well done but..... As far as the emotion goes it was not there. They tried to make it a drama. But with no emotion in the characters. I was VERY disappointed. One of my favorite movies of all time ruined here. I don't think the actors were in the same room reading their parts. I think everyone went home with their part read the lines into a recorder attached the recording emailed them back to the studio someone pieced it all together and said here you go Lion King 2019,4 "The movie reveals between three persons who live in same apartments. The persons were be as to each other . They didn't know that they will e revealing in the murder later . It was a perfect movie which entertains many around us . The applause to the movie was good . It was very nice and good through out. The movie is good to watch but the strangers met in the struggle sets were they were involved in the murder and not able to come out if that . The movie was action to many people in the world . The movie was entertaining audiences well. Comic sense was missing in the movie but it was good to watch movie.",7 This movie is awesome very good movie and the acting by Pankaj Tripathi was very very good and rajkumar Rao acting was good... Abhishek Bachchan acting was very good love this movje,7 "Just like Annabelle: Creation, Gary Dauberman wrote this script. However, Annabelle: Creation was fun and different; a solid movie. This film wasn't living up to the second film, and that's because it was the wrong director. Gary Dauberman directed this film because he didn't like people ""ruining"" his movies. He ruined his own movie. Let the directors direct, and let writers write.",5 "The hotly anticipated ""Spider-Man 2"" arrived in theatres in June of 2004 and soon proved to be nearly as big of a box office success as its predecessor. The film even managed to garner better reviews than the original, which is something of a rarity for sequels. The story picks up a couple of years after the first movie and finds Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) struggling to cope with the sacrifices inherent in being Spider-Man. As a result, he seriously contemplates giving up crime-fighting. Meanwhile, the demented Doc Ock (Alfred Molina) will stop at nothing to continue his fusion research, though the results could be disastrous. The cast of the previous film returns here and they perform their roles capably once again. New addition Alfred Molina makes a memorable villain and the film features another entertaining cameo from Bruce Campbell. However, I find that the acting talent is somewhat squandered on a less than stellar script. Despite the involvement of Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Chabon and two-time Oscar winner Alvin Sargent the screenplay comes off as a dumbed down effort (no doubt as a result of catering to a young audience). That being said, the conclusions of the film's individual story lines are so satisfying that I can almost overlook the script's lesser moments. Sam Raimi returns as director and the film's visuals are on par with the first film. The special effects landed the film its sole Oscar and are responsible for some memorable moments. Danny Elfman once again provides a fitting score while good use is also made of B.J. Thomas's ""Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head"". In the end, ""Spider-Man 2"" is an enjoyable popcorn movie but nothing more. While I may be in the minority here, I find the first film more rewarding than the followup. The third film, meanwhile, is especially disappointing considering the promise of this film's ending.",7 "Though it is an entertaining move this does not follow ANY semblance of the spiderman story. The original story has spiderman saving the astronaut on re-entry when the symbiot escapes and attaches its self to spiderman, spiderman because extra super powerful and the symbiot loves it but spiderman is a good guy and doesnt like all the killing venom wants to do so spiderman takes it to a bell tower to use the vibrations of the bell to expel it, eddie brock is a sub par journalist who is always getting one upped by peter parker, and happens to be chasing the story of the symbiot, followed venom to the bell tower to get pictures, when the sybiot is expelled from spiderman it latches on to eddie, is very displeased with its new host, and hates spiderman for rejecting him, eddie hates peter parker for always one upping him, and together eddie learns who spiderman is (peter parker) and together eddie/symbiot (Venom) go after spiderman and in the end spiderman sends venom back to space on another rocket. little does he know there was another symbiot known as Carnage which is even crazier than venom and takes spiderman teaming up with ironman and war machine to take it down. The movie shows NONE of this. And the closest thing to Carnage it comes to is the symbiot they call Carnage.",3 This is an unbeatable peace of movie. The way everything is plotted is marvellous. The 'jump from the seat' thrill and story is enough to make one surprised. SPLENDID work...,10 "The best thing about 'Lost in Space' is its visuals and environment setting. The CGI's pretty good, the audio/soundtrack is on point and its production value reflects that of a movie studio. The acting can be on and off particularly with child actors but its not a deal breaker. The writing, however, makes it difficult to enjoy and sometimes infuriating to watch. The characters here are supposed to represent the best humanity has to offer yet their actions scream ineptitude. Most of the problems are a consequence of lack of communication which normally would be resolved quickly. The characters also seem to not trust each other and blatantly disobey orders. People constantly bicker among themselves for their own agenda instead of logically thinking and solving the problem at hand. Dr. Smith who is built up to be sort of an antagonist seems to get away with everything magically and somehow always appears to be present at the right place at the right time. It gets pretty frustrating to see her manipulate others again and again when in a normal scenario, she would have been locked away for good. As for the other characters, the only ones I liked were Don West, Judy and maybe sometimes the Robot. In the end, its a 6 out of 10. It looks amazing but visuals can only take you so far. The plot points are weak and are accompanied by lackluster character development. Still, there are some good moments here and there which gives me hope that the show can turn it around. Maybe in season 2, if it gets one, with stronger writing and better plot points with a touch of consistent acting, it can elevate itself to an 8 or even 9 out of 10 but right now its probably best to skip it.",6 "The absurd, raw, violent and bloody stunts work pretty well and some of them are impressive so that would have been enough to make it a fun flick for a Saturday night and probably it's what the movie should have gone for: entertaining, technically week done and unpretentious action and nothing more. Instead it makes a mistake, it takes itself too seriously with dramatic segments that should add some emotion apart from the entertainment but on the contrary they only break the rhythm and feel unconvincing and inevitably forced. For other movies it could have worked but in this one, with its two-line script, there wasn't any space for that.",5 """Avatar: The Last Airbender"" is a show that has left an indelible mark on my heart. It's a journey through a fantastical world filled with rich lore, memorable characters, and profound life lessons. While I have immense love for this series, I must admit it has a few quirks that keep it from perfection, which is why I'd rate it an 8 out of 10. The story unfolds in a world divided into four nations, each with the ability to control one of the four elements: Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. The Avatar, a master of all four elements, is the only one who can bring balance to the world. But when the Avatar disappears, the Fire Nation wages war, plunging the world into chaos. The heart of the show is Aang, the last Airbender and the long-lost Avatar. Along with his loyal friends Katara and Sokka, he embarks on a quest to master the elements, confront the Fire Nation, and fulfill his destiny as the Avatar. Aang's journey is one of growth, responsibility, and self-discovery. One of the show's greatest strengths is its character development. Every member of the main cast undergoes significant growth, with Aang's transition from a carefree boy to a mature Avatar being particularly moving. The moral dilemmas they face and the choices they make resonate with viewers of all ages. The world-building is impeccable. The different nations, cultures, and bending styles are not only visually distinct but also deeply rooted in their philosophies. The attention to detail in the lore is astounding, making the world feel alive and authentic. ""Avatar"" strikes a perfect balance between humor and seriousness. It can have you laughing at Sokka's witty remarks in one scene and contemplating the consequences of war and prejudice in the next. It's a testament to the show's ability to cater to both children and adults. However, there are a few episodes that feel like filler, contributing little to the overall plot or character development. These moments, while entertaining, can be frustrating when you're eager for the main story to progress. The show's conclusion is satisfying, but it does feel somewhat rushed in its final moments. Certain character arcs could have been explored further, and loose ends could have been tied up more neatly. In conclusion, ""Avatar: The Last Airbender"" is a masterfully crafted series that transcends the boundaries of animated television. Its compelling characters, intricate world-building, and the exploration of complex themes make it a timeless classic. While it may have minor imperfections, they are overshadowed by its brilliance. If you haven't experienced this magical journey yet, I highly recommend it. For me, it's an 8/10, a testament to its lasting impact on the world of animation and storytelling.",8 "Summary -> Incredibly stupid story. Many inconsistencies. Great effects. Disappointing. Went to watch the movie because of the first Avatar. Don't know what I was expecting, but for sure not to be bored after 20 min. The story is typical American ""Vietnam"" action movie..There is no elegance. No flow. The worst is the cliff hung at the end - leaving a possibility for another boring expensive mish - mash. On the other hand the effects are gorgeous. Strongly reminded me the ""Life of Pi"" (2012). Probably the wish to keep as much as possible of them made the movie so long. No clear message from the movie. First you play chicken and when somebody rape your daughter / kill your son you go berserk? ""The man has to protect his family"" ? What a cliché ! Give it 5 stars from the greatness of my heart only for the effects. Terrible disappointment.",3 "It took real balls to make this movie in black & white.. in a non-widescreen boxy 1:1 ratio format... with only 2 actors in the entire movie (no, non-speaking mermaids don't count).. but balls is all this movie has, because it's otherwise impotent. It's impossible to tell if the whole thing is real or a delusion of one of the characters. There is no character development because we don't know whether anything is real. There is no resolution because, again, there's no indication of whether what is happening is real. The only thing I know for sure about this movie is that no one knows whether the hype surrounding it is real or not. I think critics wanted to appear ""intelligent"" and act like they know what the movie was about.. I was sure as hell completely lost the entire time.",3 "By most of the time I mean it started out very well, but after the seasons where they are really attending school it does become a bit too much and the story is not really sticking to itself even though it has always been a bit silly, in the last seasons it seems like they can't let it go and stop, since the series have had a lot of success, but in my opinion they should have. There are quirky characters, maybe put a bit on the edge, but they all fit into the stories and it is really fun most of the time. I especially like Abed and Troy, they just have these very nerdy and special episodes and come up with ideas that are just crazy, but they fit into this strange universe of a school :)",7 "Big big disappointment! I get all the video games references, I am a player myself, but man... the movie is dumb. Obviously made for a teen audience. I found it boring and silly. People are comparing it with The Truman Show, but to me it resembles more Tron, Tron Legacy and Ready Player One.",4 "This is my first review on IMDB, I was so disappointed that I had to get it out of my system. After an interesting S1 and S2, I just couldnt digest the voice of Ani character, how did the writers think that she can replace Hannah? I would totally recommend S1 and S2, the whole gang was awesome to watch and the feelings shared were so real. But dont bother to watch S3, its just waste of time, Ani is not related at all, No comparison to her narration with Hannah, her character just doesnt fit at all, she was shown as an important character out of blue, whole gang tells her everything without reason,Series turned to to crime mode suddenly and I m bored to write the remaining reasons.",4 "Unbelievably bad film. Trite in every regard. Bad casting showers the film in bad acting in many cases. It takes nearly the entire film to get to anything of value. Chris Pine does an excellent job, but every other scene hurts the soul. The story is simply uninteresting. You never care about any of the characters. Their caricature of WWII is pathetic. Every story element, turn is a comic book loosely based on reality scene, which would be fine IF the film was more like a comic book movie, but it's not. It's played entirely literal. I didn't have any expectations for this film, and it still was a disappointment.",2 Season 4 is horrible!! It's all over the place. Makes no sense from the previous seasons. Huge let down!!,1 "The show drops you right in and remains a watchable mess from start to finish. The astonishing production values make it. Trashy source material (this remixes 3 whole books!) it mostly adheres to but is randomly adapted via time jumps and mediocre acting and somewhat weird direction undo it. I may return for S02E01 to see if there will be a marked improvement but the longer the books go on the worse they get so I am not holding my breath. Those drown in casual rape as character development for the women and this version already got a head start on that in the pilot. Be warned in advance this is Trigger Warning - The Show. About our anti-hero Henry Cavill. He is sadly miscast and delivers a meh performance that is neither book (he is a bummer who is a side character in his own story) nor game (he is a revelation). Quality actor, wrong show. The whole cast is kind of a mess and misses the point of the source material I would argue. The critic got it right this time. I was considering giving this a very weak 6/10 due to my knowledge of the game/book canon which was the only reason I could follow along but I plainly stopped having any fun by the time the storylines somewhat converged at the end and such a dramatic show shouldn´t leave anyone with apathy. Play the games instead. They start a bit rough but end in greatness and stay away from the books. 5/10 PS: This is obviously better made than the 2001/2 adaptation but that one is at least easy to follow and bothers to explain what a Witcher and Geralt are early through an origin story. Keep Wikia open at all times for this one!",5 "Director/production - 9; Story - 8; Cinematography - 8; Acting - 9; Makeup/FX - 7; Sound - 7; Music - 8; Personal motivation - 8; My average - Beautiful story about loss, addiction and sports. Master performance by Anya Taylor-Joy and a real feel back to the sixties.",8 "I can't understand how anyone can give this more than 7 stars. The plot is literally this: one kid becomes a super villain, other kid becomes a super hero, they have a big fight sequence at the end. Also the adult Billy is NOTHING like young Billy. Adult Billy/Shazam is fun, funny, and always smiling. Young Billy is boring, unfunny, and never smiles. What??? Despite these things it was still semi-entertaining, mostly because of how good Zachary Levi was as Shazam.",6 The first half of the movie was tragically slow. There are no characters to root for and truly I was hoping one would get killed off sooner so I wouldn't have to listen to all the new money/conservative influencer jokes. I do believe it was greatly saved in the second half and had many good moments but the first one was a classic. This one fell short of being a good murder mystery and was more of a waiting game for the answers. The plot twist was great and lifted my rating from a 1 to a 4. There were a lot of good performances and strong actors but the personalities of these characters was unbearable. Daniel Craig and Janelle truly carried this movie. Kate Hudson had great comedy moments while Ed Norton was so good at being annoying it was torture to tolerate him.,4 "The girl 11 gets her superpowers hard way. She has very few friends each friends have been given a perfect character arch and by the time you reach season 4 you kinda know how they ll react to certain situations. Third and fourth season as all characters enter to their adulthood few more chuckly scenes , few adolescent crisis but that is not what stranger thing is about. It's about watching supernatural story and trying to find out the normal people bravery to save the world. It's about alternate dimension and nerdy explanations given by nerd kids .it's about what if the childhood game is portrayed as the reality in a series . An interesting series to (binge) watch . Till fourth season it won't disappoint you if you like first season. Go for the unique ride.",8 "Have we watched something like this? The story, characters and setting is something we may watching for the first time. Experimental is risky but The Umbrella Academy proves that good experiment may pay well. Many things may be hard to digest but it is what it is. The making is of The Umbrella Academy is also good. Performance wise, Ellen Page, Robert Sheehan did a good job. Cameron Britton and Mary J Blige also did a good job and their combination scenes were humorous and their chemistry payed off well throughout the series. The ending was not good as exepected. Overall, The Umbrella Academy is a good experiment and we should wait for what Netflix has to offer in Season 2.",8 "I've been a fan of the Harry Potter series since I first saw the very first movie in the cinemas. I've loved every single movie, some more than others. I went to the cinema with high expectations, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. This movie has impressed me with the stunning effects, the great acting, the amazing dialog, the emotions, everything. I think they've really managed to catch the feel of hopelessness in this movie, and I'm really happy about that. During this movie I laughed, cried, jumped in shock and sat on the edge of my seat. It's absolutely fantastic, and I cannot stress that enough. I strongly recommend this being watched by everyone who has a bit of magic at their hearts, but of course watch the other 7 movies first!",10 "Know the feeling of looking forward to a firework display, the organiser lights the fuses and there's great anticipation.. then you wait, keep waiting, the fuses sputter and then die out. .. That was A Star Is Born. Bradley Cooper was superb, the relationship between his character and that of Gaga's just didn't work. There was no credible romantic connection and I was in disbelief at the nominated award for her acting. I wonder what everyone else reviewing was watching, it clearly wasn't the same film that I sat through. I can only presume those lauding such high praises are die-hard Gaga fans.",5 "Plot was promising but unfortunately wasn't properly utilized. it was dragging, my head ached and the only thing that made me continue watching was to get a few laughs from amir khan. i am very disappointed but then i guess it would work for a younger demographic.",4 "Inception is one of those movies that allows the story to develop and build. In the first 20 or 30 minutes I had absolutely no idea what was going on or where the movie was heading, but part of the movie's appeal is to try to figure those things out. And after 30 minutes you have enough of an idea to want to stick around for the rest. Unlike some, my husband and I didn't have any trouble discerning the dream sequences from reality once the movie got going. There are two things that are appealing about this movie: 1: The complicated and unique storyline and 2. The acting chops of every single person--not just DiCaprio. I think these things are driving the high ratings. However, the movie has flaws: 1. Lacks any depth of personal relationship of the characters to one another. 2. One of the main characters (Saito) speaks with an accent that is very difficult to understand. 3. There are a LOT of things in the last 1/3 of the movie that don't really make sense once you think them through. 4. Poor sound quality and way too much shooting and car chasing. It was worth seeing once, but don't expect anything more than a sci-fi/action film because it doesn't deliver anything beyond that.",6 "I watched Game of Thrones twice and loved it. ""House of the Dragon"" is a prequel to Game of Thrones and is mainly the story of the Targaryens., told in a slow and mind-boggling way. The overall atmosphere and the music are good, and the special effects are good enough. I think the show it is very well played, although the casting is problematic. Some characters are interesting enough, but the story focuses mostly on the female characters ergo the show is flat and dull. There is no room for suspense here, at the larger scale of the story. It's a slow burn and It is interesting about 10 ~20%, the rest is mostly a soap opera with some sex-related stuff. In my opinion, the ""PC"" culture has affected this series on every level, from casting to storytelling. For now, House of the Dragon (2022-) falls in the spectrum of mediocrity and it made me wonder which category of viewers it is intended for...",5 "'Marianne opened the door when Connell rang the bell.' 'I'd never pretend not to know you Connell.' 'I'm not a religious person but sometimes I think God made you for me.' 'Marianne would let Connell walk all over her. He knew that.' Moving. Simple. Normal. I think tv becomes to insane these days and I enjoyed just the monotone everyday that filled Normal people. It took a leaf from everyday life and it was one I think a lot of people could relate to despite it not being too happy. More shows like this and I think both the book and the tv show are worth a look at. I especially thought Paul mescal portrayed Connell Waldron very well.",7 Sacred Games is probably the best TV series of Indian Cinema. Every cast played their role so perfectly that you start to believe in every scene. Dialogue delivery by actors like Nawaj and Saif is just mind blowing. Netflix + Sacred Games a must watch tv series of all time.,9 "Maybe I am so tired of shows that run for 5-6-7 episodes, if we are lucky. PER year. And often they don't return for a year and a half. What has happened? Oh, right. It's money. They don't make enough money making 20+ episode seasons. That's all it is folks. I can't wait for THIS season to continue, in a year or a year and a half. I'm just not gonna wait. I will have lost interrest before that. This could have been greatness in the making, but please. Goodbye, it just gets too annoying. There are so many new great shows all the time, how can we keep up?",4 "So, apparently Paris have no Police force, but they all speak English, even when they dont have to, so this is likely a Paris in an alternate dimention. And the main reason John Wick is such a deadly killer, is that his guns only run out of ammo when there are noone around to shoot, and that they are also deadly at 10 meters range. All other guns appear to have a max kill range of around 10 feet, but if you hold up your lapel, that should stop any bullet that might have a closer source. I give up. There is no way to accurately describe how bad this movie is, you just have to see it. I truly believe the writers have never seen guns before, or cities, or germans. It is a horrid masterpiece, a turkey of stray bullets that stop before they hit an innocent, or the window behind the target. I gave it two stars, and one is reserved for Reddick, the actor in this movie.",2 "Good movie, Good story Maybe a little messy on the cuts here and there but overall pretty decent. IDK if the movie would deserve a sequel (Wich is already confirmed wont happen) but they could give it a try. I personally just like the idea about 6 People faking thier death to fight for good, the story overall is also really good since its not a typical Hollywood style movie. The story telling maybe a little bit thin but good enough to understand whats happening. I personally liked it but thats just my opinion ;)",7 I've never understood why everyone loved this movie so much. It's just ok.,6 "Fun movie with quite nice jokes. Good CGI, good fight scenes, but kinda lazy writing.I wish the story/plot to be more meaningful...There is so many scene that dosent have any logical explanation. Sadly but i can not give more than 3/10. :(",5 "Even before I clicked on the first episode, I wondered how Netflix would handle the SJW angle ?!? You see I read the introduction which said it was a family lost in space. Now that presents a big dilemma... how will they accommodate multiple races into the cast, if they are all 1 family? Then I surmised the cast will be a white family that had adopted a black kid... just a whimsical assumption that made me chuckle. Then I clicked play, and lol and behold! A white family cast with a token black girl. I stopped watching because I couldn't stop laughing at the forced multi-racial... You see I've decided to only watch shows that have cast that makes sense, not shows that try to be PC, just so that they can relieve their white guilt.",1 """Interstellar"" is a reason to go to a movie theater. It earns every penny spent to view it in the best projection format available: IMAX, 70mm, Digital. Spend your money to see Christopher Nolan's vision of ""anywhere but Earth."" You will get your money's worth, and as a bonus, you'll get to see his vision of a near-future Earth that is both glorious and melancholy. Nolan is a member of those film Directors (eg, Lars van Trier, Zack Snyder, James Cameron and of course Stanley Kubrick) who are able to share via film an artistic vision that validates the medium. Film is first and foremost, visual. Film epitomizes the first rule of writing even more than written prose itself: Show, don't tell. An argument could be made that the early 20th Century gave us the best of what film can be. Absent any dialogue except the occasional narrative ""blackboard"" frames, film makers and the performers had to tell their story visually. But I'm not a film ""Luddite"" and I don't support that argument. The ability to include a soundtrack allowed films to tell stories more complex, more nuanced and more culturally and socially important than silent film ever could. But still film is first and foremost; a visual medium. Christopher Nolan understands and uses the palette of film exquisitely. His breakthrough film ""Memento"" is legendary for its ability to require repeated ""viewings"" to understand its shrewdly-(visually) depicted story. ""Inception"" is so filled with visual cues and clues that many people who like/love the movie have, even after repeated viewings, yet to ""see it all."" (What did the top do? Anyone? Anyone?) To date Nolan is best known for his ""'Dark Knight'"" Batman"" films, which owe as much of their success to the ""look"" of them as do the the earlier Tim Burton (another visual director) films. (BTW, I believe Michael Keaton portrayed the Batman better than anyone ever has or will) Christopher Nolan's genius is that he: Understands that film is primarily visual, empathizes with an audience's requirements for visual story-telling and most importantly, can get it on film. All that said, Christopher Nolan is not a great screenwriter. He is very good, but with ""Interstellar,"" like all his films, he needs a script-doctor. Ref: ""Inception."" For me, that film's singular flaw is its failure to involve me emotionally. While Nolan the Director feels through his visuals, a large portion of the audience needs...words. Movie audiences want captions to the pictures. Somewhere, deep inside, I think Christopher Nolan thinks this is a flaw and wants to correct it. Good luck with that. Blah, blah, blah...now, to ""Interstellar."" I saw the film in IMAX Digital with THX sound. As I said at my beginning, ""Interstellar"" rewarded my theater going experience absolutely. Nolan gave me, visually, both an interstellar and a humanity in descent to extinction experience, I can't diminish. Optically and sonically ""Interstellar"" is a state of the art accomplishment. On Earth, Nolan evoked in me fear, anger, frustration, ambition and hope. In his non-Earth I felt curiosity, wonder, ambition, awe and humor. But I never felt human. Many of our best visual directors are great screenwriters; James Cameron and Peter Jackson come to mind. Many are not: Steven Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick direct great scripts written primarily by others. Nolan probably belongs among the latter. ""Interstellar"" is prime evidence of this. His best (in my opinion) movies were co-written by screenwriters who understood the verbal element of film making. For lack of this ""Interstellar"" suffers. I look forward to purchasing a Blu-Ray edition of ""Interstellar"" because I want to view the movie. By this I mean I want to turn off the soundtrack and see what is there to be seen. I will also view the film with soundtrack but edited to my own preferences because my opinion is that in its theatrical release, Nolan...tried too hard. Here's my thinking: Nolan wants ""Interstellar"" to be ""2001 A Space Odyssey"" vis State-of-the-art film making. Visually and sonically he accomplishes this goal. ""Interstellar""'s problem is its source material. While ""2001..."" was the product of one of the most sophisticated, erudite and educated imaginations we will ever know (Arthur C. Clark) ""Interstellar"" is the product of a brilliant film maker. Clark was a scientist with the ability to create verbal analogies of his visions, and working with Kubrick we have that vision on film. Nolan is a movie director, possibly the best of his generation, who requires writers who can give him scripts that in their dialogue equate...fulfill, the promise their visual presentations make. To wit: It is one thing to rely on/anticipate your audience's cultural literacy (Ariadne anyone? Anyone?) It is entirely different and pretentious to demand your audience know of and for the purpose of your story embrace ""popular"" physics vis ""black hole's."" Dave becomes a god is literally ""light years"" from ""I am, always have been and always will be."" I am left to wonder what ""Interstellar"" would have been if the script had been in the control of James Cameron, Peter Jackson or even Joss Whedon; Directors who are also accomplished writers. Aside from the marketability of such a ""super-team,"" the product (aka: ""Interstellar"") could have been so much more emotionally powerful it is wondrous to consider. ""Interstellar"" is a visual triumph. But unlike the films that suggest it (""2001,"" ""The Abyss,"" ""Donnie Darko,"" and others) it lacks the literate/emotional connection that can only be provided by great screen writing. If this is the best Christopher Nolan gives his audience, he will be well remembered and respected. Me? I hope he finds his Muse, the writer who creates scripts worthy of, fulfilling of, his ability to make what he sees available to us. May I suggest Joss Whedon... Thanos looms...",7 "Badly made. First hour felt like thrown together in few minutes. Some jokes just went out too far, I was really hoping them to go away towards the end... But no. Many characters simply ruined forever, which makes no sense. I did not enjoy the movie Most of the people will say this is good because of the Fan hype. I'm a Marvel fan all the way, but this just wasn't it.",3 "Relies completely on the source material to be interesting - offers nothing new with its changes to be compelling. Bad acting, atrocious dialogue,unrealistic scenes seemingly fetched out of a children's book,absent character development, jumbled timelines, and too many plot details crammed into a single season to secure the next even with a respectable budget suggests a severe lack of insight in the producers. Consequently, I have no high hopes for the second season despite the giddy enthusiasm of the showrunner. Considering the hype, it's the biggest disappointment of TV for a long while.",1 The BBC have really talked this up and benefitted from some good PR. But the series itself lacks heart. Only a few of the central characters were properly developed. The actions scenes were very unlikely and lacked real pace. And the plot was laughable.,2 "First of all, This movie is outstanding and deserve more than something called Rating. This movie is not only emotional but also teaches a life lesson. This movie is really an inspiring one and there should be sequal of this movie. At the end, I just want to say This is a must watch movie.",10 "To combine war and comedy is a new one. but i feel like it was stuck between the two. i think the movie should have gone all in with the comedy and a little less with the romance. but in the end its a decent movie. 6/10: ok",6 "Sure, I get the complaints about this movie a little, but I thought that the villain was pretty fascinating in the first half of the movie (until he teamed up with hot head Hammer when he didn't become interesting anymore). I always love the RDJ style of humor and also thought that Black Widow was done very well for her first appearance in the MCU portrayed by SJ, and only got better from there! Don Cheadle as War Machine also did a great job! Not as good as the first one, but still good superhero fun!",8 "Easily the worst waste of time I've spent watching television. Predictable and repetitive is hard to do in one season. Season 4 does this every show. Sad end from a great start.",1 "Greta Gerwig did it. Broke the ceiling financially for a movie directed by a woman. I like all of her work and the Barbie theme was a daring one to take on. Then again she created a powerful version of Little Women. I also figured if Isa Rae agreed to be in this, there had to be more to it. It was so much funnier than expected. They figured out how to not make a parody of Barbie and Ken. That's no small task. I don't want to give away anything because everyone is going to see themselves in this in another way. It's clever, thoughtful, and so funny. The actors performed to perfection. There's a lot to unpack in this movie. I want to watch it again. It has all the makings of a classic and a cult film.",10 "Ever wonder what Al Bundy (Married with Children) might be like as a grandfather, if he started his own successful business, married a hot Latina, and spent a bunch of time with her intelligent, chubby kid with a good heart and old soul? Well, O'Neill is not exactly Bundy in this show, but he brings every bit of the ""guy's guy"" to his Jay Pritchett character. In fact, I just read that O'Neill learned (and still practices) Brazilian Ju-Jitsu from the Gracie family (often credited for elevating BJJ to a mainstream, respected martial arts style throughout the world), earned his black belt in 2007 (after 15 years of training), and was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers as an outside linebacker in 1969 (although he was cut from the team before the start of the regular season), so he is officially a bona fide bad-ass. I especially enjoy his head-to-head exchanges with Benjamin Bratt when he guest stars as Javier Delgado, Pritchett's wife's (Vergara's) ex-husband and father of her son. This show is hilarious, clever, witty, and endearing, and the entire cast is top-notch. Rico Rodriguez often steals the show as that intelligent, chubby kid I mentioned above; he's working with great scripts, but he nails every line, gesture, and non-verbal cue; that kid's got a bright future ahead of him. Vergara and Julie Bowen skillfully balance hot and eccentric. At first, I found Burrell's character, Phil Dunphy, to be creepy and unlikable, but Burrell quickly developed him into a goofy, ADD-stricken, creative, and loving father, who is now one of my favorite characters on the show. Nolan Gould masterfully displays many of Phil's characteristics in his own way, making him very believable as Phil's son. Eric Stonestreet is funny and charismatic as Cameron Tucker, Pritchett's son's (Jesse Tyler Ferguson's) domestic partner and co-father (is that the right word?) of a little Asian girl (I'm assuming that this was a sarcastic move by the show, since it's so intelligent in all other respects); I believe that the decision to make him a former Missouri farmhand and University of Illinois football player was great in that it would have added another dimension to his character, breaking from the stereotype that all gays are effeminate, but unfortunately, whether it's due to the script or Stonestreet's acting decisions, Cam is a big queen (he even runs like an uncoordinated little girl, making his college football and farm careers unbelievable), and the benefit of that background piece is lost. All in all, though, this show is consistently great. I know that I will laugh and be entertained every time that I watch an episode. I would recommend that everyone set aside to watch this series at some time.",8 "Super bad movie, the only thing that saves it is the voice actors. They focused so much in the graphics that they forgot to put emotions (which even real lions have), the camara work is just terrible, without imagination, so static, and in my opinion meaningfull scenes did not have weight. Is just like they hired just a bunch of animators, and thats it.",4 "This is a copy from Atomic Blonde but Atomic Blonde is worth watching, this isn't worth watching.",3 "By all merits, House of the Dragon is without a doubt a worthy attempt at rekindling the flames GoT extinguished, but it's for this exact reason that the show feels lackluster. The atmosphere is great, that feeling of being back in Westeros but it's missing that spark which the early Seasons of GoT captured, where the world is shown to you through the eyes and words of the characters. It's precisely for this reason why House of the Dragon falls short. If you had no knowledge of Game of Thrones, you would not enjoy House of the Dragon, that's just the way its written. It can not stand on its own and serves as a follow-up prequel to Game of Thrones. The music is phenomenal but again, if you've never seen Game of Thrones, it would not have been as impactful as the show rides that nostalgia. I also feel like a lot of the dialogue is tacky, they're speaking for the sake of just speaking without conveying any meaningful information. The middle to last seasons of GoT was truly guilty of this. Also the sex scenes? Why? It's literally tasteless nudity that serves no purpose. Whereas the sex scenes in GoT serve a purpose. Here the sex scenes are quite simply a show of sexual frustration? All in all, it's ok if you wanna revisit the world of GoT but don't expect that original magic as its long gone, HBO merely want to cash in your nostalgia.",5 "One of the best anime story written... Hats off to Hajime Isayama. What an animation, character backstory twist everything amazing. U will get connected to each and every Character. Every twist of the anime will amaze you! The last season (which aired on 4th Nov) was really epic.. we all fan wasn't ready for that... The 10 yrs journey came to an end, it was like a roller coaster ride u will get everything in this anime emotional, goosebumps, friendship etc... it teach you a lot! Every Season is on different level connected to it... Surely watch it, I recommend u all to give it a try! It came to an end with heartbreaking ending.",9 "If you interested in watching two and a half hours of crap with an ensemble of established actors, look no further Anurag Basu has the right stuff for your taste. It would enrich your cerebral cortex with new concepts of comedy, thrill & drama. Enough to wipe out slightest amount of remnant intelligence. What more can you expect from a bygone director?",1 I watched this series in hindi and i love it waiting for 3rd season and please realise all episodes in hindi. And thank you for this show.,9 "In the twilight of his career as a movie star, exhausted Bill Murray (as Bob Harris) takes flight to Tokyo, to take an assignment as pitchman for a Japanese whiskey. Apparently, Mr. Murray is emotionally estranged from his American family. He shoots his ad spots, then goes out for a drink. At the bar, he attracts the attention of beautiful Scarlett Johansson (as Charlotte). Recently graduated from Yale, with a major in philosophy, Ms. Johansson seems to be having an early-life crisis to parallel Murray's mid-life crisis. Johansson is, apparently, being taken for granted by photographer husband Giovanni Ribisi (as John). Writer/director Sofia Coppola's ""Lost in Translation"" is, like the lead characters, a bit of a bore. She does, however, score with an interesting and unconventional ""relationship"" between the characters played by dead-panned Murray and sexy pantie-clad Johansson. Yet, like one of Murray's amusing ad directors notes, there is a certain lack of tension. And, why would two Americans in Tokyo spend so much time in karaoke bars when the city has infinitely more to offer - you can get that stuff here. There was a parade of awards and nominations for Ms. Coppola, Murray, and Johansson, with Sofia's screenplay leading the charge. ***** Lost in Translation (8/29/03) Sofia Coppola ~ Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Giovanni Ribisi, Anna Faris",5 "How anyone can rate this highly I will never understand. The dialogue is so terrible that it makes the brilliant cast seem like terrible actors. If Tim Burton wanted to make Harry Potter movie then he should have done that. This is a huge failure of his attempt at that. I'm surprised that he directed the first four episodes. The cinematography is flat and boring. Nothing looks good or has any style to it. After four episodes I'm giving up. How this has an 8 rating is baffling. It's one of the worst things Tim Burton has done and the absolute worst thing Netflix has put out, which is saying a lot. I truly hope this does not get another season.",3 "One thing I learned from great movies is that they have their quality aspects proportional to each other. You imagine what you get if you have great acting and poor directing, or great directing and poor story, or great story and poor focus. What do we have in this movie? Great acting, great directing, great poetry, and absurd scientific claims, which kills the joy of watching the movie if you are a little aware of the principles of modern physics. If you are an artist or musician, or anyone who has no knowledge about quantum mechanics, relativity, and modern cosmology, you can go and watch this movie and enjoy its great poetry. If you, however, have some knowledge I warn you that you may feel distrust and disappointment to the whole story and start blaming all the actors and the director for making such serious efforts while the story is scientifically absurd. I mean if the director (and the rest) intend to create a sci-fi movie they must avoid too detailed and serious explanations of how things happens in the universe (with serious faces). This reflects their ignorance and spoils the poetry of the movie. I can bring few facts from the movie that is nonsense and they needed to avoid it. 1. A warm hole is a theoretical concept, and in practice no one even remotely knows what it is yet. 2. You may travel through a warm hole, but you cant direct yourself to a particular planet. 3. A black hole has several orders of magnitude more gravity and warmth than the sun, anything falling into it burns down and becomes about the size of an atom. The protagonist would be dead long before reaching its center. 4. And all this nonsense of looking to our particular earth from the black hole just because it has different dimensionality ... I don't even want to talk about it. 5. After 30 years their children needed to think about other life related things as well, and not sitting and talking about their father's mission all the time (be a bit realistic about life). 6. The biggest nonsense - after years father and daughter are meeting and just smiling and crying. This is not an American drama folks, the man has been in another galaxy and see the most unnatural thing in life: his daughter is 80 years old. They both should have been perplexed, got panic attack, feel extreme feelings, collapse or something. What the hell was that? A meeting with tears and smile? To sum up: The immensity of the universe and its effect on human aspect is is poorly explored. There should have been abnormal feelings going on in the move due to this, but we saw none!",6 "Started like it was going to be a good and original movie.....then it turned bad and ultimately it completely derailed . Finished as a complete and boring mess. The script is really poor and makes little sense. After the middle point of the movie, I could not wait for it to finish. Several characters seem likeable early on. But by the end not a single one is.",3 "From Venom 1, the sequel could have been great. But this movie, utterly dissapoints the viewers. Cheap thrills, bad jokes do not keep this movie afloat.",4 "Regardless of your a fan of the books or the game it's a great watch, brilliant story, awesome acting, it's a must watch!!!!",9 "the first time i seen this movie, i was like..what is up with this girl? she throws up in a subway train on this guy's which he had a hair piece on and she even threw up on his head. the guy, gyun-woo, was actually really cute. yeah he was such a push-over but it was sweet of him to take care of her when she was drunk. i mean she basically beats the s*** out of him throughout the movie.and it was weird how she treats him but likes him also. and i can't believe they didn't even kiss! i mean they were real close to kissing in the rain by her door. and it was sad how she wanted to make gyun-woo act like her ex fiance. it was really sad how when gyun-woo went to the girl and her date's date..gyun-woo told him those 10 things he should remember when dating her. i mean he practically did everything she wanted and she was really rude to him most of the time. but i thought one of the sweetest scenes was when it was their 100 day aniversary. gyun-woo brought her a rose in the middle of her class and she played this piano song that he really liked. it was sweet cuz they were up on stage and just stared into each others eyes and everyone clapped. that was so sweet!! also. how did that frog get into that egg shaped time capsule thing when gyun-woo opened it?? LOL! it scared him and it scared me too. LOL! i watched it twice only but i have the movie so i can watch it whenever i want. i have to go watch it again. i love this movie so much. the best korean movie i've ever seen.",10 "Where to start. The director clearly decided the action needed to be nonsensical and implausible. The lazy rip off of the Warriors narrator style hunt, even copying it's 'boppers' epithet, was pathetic. It lacks the style and charm of Warriors. I tried to like this. I was a big fan of the John Wick series until 3 which started to run out of plot ideas but this is a stretch too far. The Marquis character is laughably lame, just a cliche rich boy with a trumped up ego (not to mention the poor French accent - just use a French actor!). This film should have been 1h30, they really had to work hard to get it to 2h40! I also really like Keanu but damn, his martial arts skills are like an arthritic pensioner.",2 "Spider-Man 2 is a very respectable follow-up to the 2002 original. The sequel stays true to its roots and even does some good foreshadowing of the third chapter. I wouldn't say it's better than the original, I'd rate the two about equally. On the positive side, the movie looks very sleek, the CGI has been updated and polished compared to the first film and the Doc Ock effects are excellent. The movie flows well and although you don't have to have seen the original to ""get"" this film, it does help tremendously. On the negative side, it seems like Raimi has rehashed a lot of ideas from the original film. Without spoiling anything, let me just comment that there are a couple of familiar ""damsel in distress"" scenes and a familiar feel to the ending (at least, the first part of the ending. I loved the Dafoe cameo in the latter part). While I understand that superhero movies are somewhat formulaic by nature, I was disappointed that there were so many plot similarities here. One other comment, I also felt the Alfred Molina was a great Doc Ock, but he should have been given more screen time, I wasn't able to connect with the character as much as I thought I would. All in all a good film, this will most certainly be one of the best of the summer and far better than the upcoming ""Catwoman"". If you enjoyed the original, you'll enjoy this. If you didn't like original, you may not want to bother with this one. It'll be interesting to see what happens in part 3.",9 "That doesn't mean that every scene in this monstrous and self indulgent 3 and ½ hours movie is boring, but overall, that's how I felt. The de-aging is distracting. Some De Niro scenes works really well, but for the most part it's just too noticeable. Plus, the younger faces didn't match the tone and energy of their voices and bodies. So, with that in mind, the performances are ruined with their ""younger versions"". It's a lie. De Niro and Pesci can't act like 20+ years younger. But. Al Pacino to the rescue! He shines as the only one still capable of talking fast and/or yelling! I'm not saying he created an accurate portrayal of Hoffa. But his energy saved the movie for me and the hour and a half focused on him was the stellar one. The story, another gangster movie, is more ""intimate"" or ""sentimental"" than the older ones, and it gets more interesting than Casino and Godfellas (bigger political implications, relatively explored in the movie). In the last 40 minutes Scorsese tries to be Charlie Kaufman (Synecdoche, Adapation) or something. It goes really bad. With younger people playing the younger versions of the characters? Maybe I can forgive the fact that is too long with better energy from younger actors. With a shorter cut? Maybe I could forget about these old actors failling to act 35+ years younger with the distracting CGI. But like this, I just can't give this movie more than a five.",5 "Vikas Bahl's Queen is a refreshingly sensitive film, which gives us a story which is raw, simple, and highly involving. The film tells the story of Rani, an innocent and demure young woman whose fiancé calls off their upcoming wedding all of a sudden just a day before. Heartbroken, she decides not to cancel their pre-booked honeymoon and embarks on a journey to Paris and Amsterdam all by herself. How this simple, unassuming girl, who never left her city let alone her country, will manage all alone abroad is what this film is all about. The interesting people she meets, the lessons she learns as she reflects back on her past life, make it a fascinating ride. The film is wonderfully developed, and it works as a true dramedy, a positive one at that, where we are shown there's something good out of everything. Rani's story is inspiring and touching, and clearly a true queen emerges out of her struggle. Needless to say, nothing would have worked as well without Kangana Ranaut, whose charming, relatable and authentic performance is a portrait of vulnerability, strength and resilience. She really manages to capture Rani's naivety, innocence, and particularly her growing maturity and sense of independence. That this film is so good is mainly to her credit, as she is the heart and soul of the entire enterprise. Queen addresses many important themes and conveys social messages which could inspire many young girls, or everyone in general. But above all it's just a very entertaining film, with hardly a dull moment. The story might seem a little simplistic on paper, but the writing makes it much more profound than it could have been. It just feels so real and simple and devoid of redundant clichés. Bahl's excellent direction makes it a moving experience, producing an uplifting coming-of-age picture infused with moments of strong drama and heartwarming comedy, right to the exhilarating conclusion. If you haven't seen it yet, you should.",8 "Fargo is a very involving movie. The performances from the leading roles of Frances McDormand and William H. Macy, characters on both sides of the law give you two very different view points. Although this is based on actual events, it is not as violent as people might expect. Gunfire is inevitable however the deceased were given dignity and bloodshed was very minimal. Used only to make a point! The humor used was very well blended into a serious movie which I personally think is why this movie was so successful. Any other B.O.T.S would have flunked with so little action so when at the video store on Friday night and unsure which movie to pick, Fargo is always a good choice.",10 "I liked the shows a lot. Steve Martin is my fav. The language is too much. Not necessary for all the GD and F words. Just.... So not necessary. Not needed at all for the story.",7 "Seth Rogen & Judd Apatow are fast becoming then new comedy superstars in Hollywood. They've given us THE 40-YEAR OLD VIRGIN AND KNOCKED UP, and now they are back with SUPERBAD. While not hitting the heights of the previous movies still has more laughs in it than a lot of movies out there, and is certainly the funniest teen movie since the American Pie trilogy. The plot sees Seth and Evan setting about trying to loose their virginity before heading off to separate colleges. Seth plans to get the girls drunk and then find one that will sleep with him. Evan gets caught up with this, although he has one girl in mind, Becca, a girl he has a crush on. Seth agrees to buy the drink for the party, and for this he uses another friend: Fogell. Fogell has got himself a fake ID, calling himself McLovin, and they plan to use this to go buy the alcohol..... I won't say anymore about the plot, but what follows is simply some of the funniest scenes this year. We get 2 of the most untrustworthy cops ever seen, more willing to break laws than enforce them. Evan and Seth get side-tracked into a different party, which leads to a hysterical sequence involving blood on his pants... Evan finds himself having to sing for some hard men, and Fogell becomes best pals with the cops! Rogen,who co-wrote the movie, and appears as one of the cops, knows that for a movie like this to work, for the gross-out moments and humour to work, you have to have characters that are both interesting and fun, and this movie is full of them. Even the female characters, who don't get as much screen time as the guys, are fully developed. But the real secret of this movie, is that it covers something you don't see often in movies, and that is the relationships between teen boys, who are best friends and growing-up and maybe apart for good. The young cast all do very well, but the 3 main leads, Jonah Hill (Seth), Michael Cera (Evan) and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Fogell) are all brilliant. Overall a truly funny movie about teen boys that will have you in stitches.",7 "First installment of the Fantastic Beasts series from JK Rowling's wizarding World, featuring the adventures of Magizoologist Newt Scamander : Eddie Redmayne .

The movie is just inclined towards the obsession of a FAN,which is very nicely put together with amalgamation of events that depicts dark side of obsession. Its very well crafted and directed,specifically the action sequences have been worked out really well.The movie keeps u involved through out its course,and does not get flat at any point in time.

Frankly I found 1st season more interesting. Still cannot figure out the reason to show it in black and white and coming up with 5 episodes only this time as well.,7 "This film was enjoyable to watch for a few reasons. The aerial scenes were quiet enveloping and realistic. The soundtrack will keep you on edge. The acting performances were good enough to convince. The camera work was accomplished. The problems with this film were its lack of graphic realism. Barely a drop of blood can be seen, almost as if a censor had banned the true horrifying visions of war lest it offend or raise the age limit for audiences. Casting a famous boy band member is always a big no no if you expect to be taken artistically serious. It comes across as a gimmicky cameo which just ruins the scenes when that Boy band guy appears. He does an okay job,, but its like putting Madonna on a ship as a nurse,, you look at her acting but think to yourself, oh look Madonna in a world war 2 movie, and this just cuts you out of the movie if you are in anyway engrossed. Christopher Nolan, cop yourself on and stop disrespecting your audience with such cheap gimmicks. Overall, it is worth a watch , but it will never ever be considered as the definitive Dunkirk movie, that is yet to be created.",6 "I have mixed feelings here, I laughed a few times and Scarlett Johansson was AMAZING. It was educational on how things were back then and it was executed good but thats all.",7 Based on true event. Yes I can relate this movie with the true event. The first time I feel Bollywood is changing its way to make movie.,10 URI The Surgical Strike is one movie which is probably inspired an entire generation of India and made them realise the valour of Indian Army. The perfect movie to keep in your own home theatre movie collection and watch with family every time you want to get inspired. This is rare as even a NCC training takes years to do so but this movie will leave a deep level patriotism inside you. How an Army give it all to a nation and how with sheer will any operation can be won. Vicky Kaushal has literally abided an Indian Army major soul.,10 "Rather disappointing show, mostly due to the writing. No pacing, no depth, idiotic dialogues... Pretty weak cast as well, Cavill excepted. Speaking of whom, although this is a show called ""the Witcher"", we really don't see that much of him and when we do, half the time is him having an adventure that has nothing or very little to do with the basic plotline or what I guess is the basic plotline. And that I say without being a fan - I doubt I have ever seen him in anything before (maybe an episode or two of the Tudors) but he is good - probably the only one who does not act like he's in Xena Warrior Princess or Emerald City. I will check out season 2, but I do hope they get better writers for it. Oh, and I do understand they need to have a diverse cast, inserting people of colour here and there, but could they not refrain from having an evil black witch? It kind of beats the purpose. Couldn't Yenefer or the rectoress be black instead?",6 "Technically speaking, there's nothing wrong with this film. Mildly entertaining, skillfully shot, and - if you think Deadpool humor gets better the more there is of it - somewhat humorous. And yet, I hated everything about it. Back in the days, 40 and 50 year old men on screen were adults. Whether it was Michael Douglas as a cheating husband in ""Fatal Attraction,"" Robert Redford as a CIA researcher in ""Three Days of the Condor,"" Steve McQueen as a liutenant Frank Bullitt in ""Bullitt"", or Dustin Hoffman as a struggling father in ""Kramer vs. Kramer"". They spoke like adults, acted like adults, and were exposed to credible, adult life situations. Those days seem to be gone. The Hollywood of the 21st century thinks that what we need is endless superhero nonsense, fatuous comedies with middle aged characters doing their best to appeal to young audiences, or uninventive, woke remakes full of characters that... apart from trying hard to appeal to young audience, assure us that it is the precious feelings of the easily offended, children-like adults that we should have at our hearts. ""Free Guy"" is another product of Hollywood that says ""it is okay to have an aging population, as long as we all remain children."" One should not blame a single movie for this, but as long as ""Free Guy"" is a safe, revenue guaranteeing cliché of that culture, one can feel somewhat justified in giving it three stars.",3 "This film is different from the first one with more tongue in cheek moments, breezy and not as hard hitting . It can be described as playful and not as earnest or as deep as the first film. It takes its time to delve into the characters and initially it only presents us with seemingly disjointed instances of their lives which towards the 2nd half is put together to present us with a different view of what is actually happening. I found this ingenious. The acting is good the setting on a Greek island with the trappings of a billiaonaire pallazzo are all well done and satisfy our need for entertainment in a rich man s world. The satire on what it takes to make it to the top, the hangers on and how one labels oneself to achieve this are brilliantly done. Recommended. Fun to watch.",9 "While I risk angering everyone caught up in the fervor surrounding this film, I have to say that I was left unsatisfied. The visuals are great but Nolan simply tries to pack too much information into too long of a movie, and mediocre (at best) dialogue does not help to lift the story. As a stand alone idea the film is brilliant, but this idea is only bogged down by the writers and the limited room for the actors to explore their roles. First off, DiCaprio is acting in a role that is far too similar to his previous part in Shutter Island, and he has no room to show his acting talent as he is constrained to situations where he must look constipated with mental pain and answer the frustratingly dumb questions from Ariadne (Paige). (Is that supposed to be Adriane? Arachnid? I was never really sure why no one could have normal people names) This is in no way the fault of Paige, DiCaprio, or any of the others forced to conform to a script that sounded more like a cheesy Jerry Bruckheimer action film than the mental candy that it is being made out to look like. (Lines like ""assemble your team!"" come to mind) My biggest problem, though, is the seemingly infinite collection of small faults in logic, personality of characters, and setting. The viewer must take many leaps of faith, excusing many holes in the plot and the way the plot is constructed. Once one of these holes in uncovered, and it inevitably will, because you leave the theater thinking, all of the others suddenly become very apparent. None of the characters have a personality, they are simply there to do the bidding of Nolan; unexplained, and unmotivated. We have no connection to the setting (or any of the settings) because they have no importance to the story. These events could be happening anywhere, and the backdrop just seems like an excuse to say ""look! you're in a dream! did you know you're in a dream? what about now?"" With a confusing structure, poor script, inhuman characters, and no motivation for anything (the viewer is told when to be more interested by the booms from the soundtrack), Inception is an idea that has been polluted by the desire to create an awesome summer blockbuster. Nolan dances around his brilliant idea, which in itself drives this movie up to a 5/10, but he never touches it, and too afraid to ask one probing question to the audience with any sort of clarity, choosing instead to pose a plethora of confusing questions that only serve to dilute the films core; a center which it pains me to say is pure genius.",5 "Very good storyline with, human morals, and awesome educational science ideas and lessons to inspire young kids. Everything that the current Hollywood films are missing.",9 "I did not like this movie. They included so many MC characters with no real value other than to represent, I expected Action Figure G. I. Joe and Barbie to make an appearance. The girl with the 'greatest power of all time"" didn't even get to use it. It was simply too much! Too much CGI, too much of everything. No realprogress on Jason & Christine plot. And soon Charlize Theron will kick some ass (by waving her arms around?). Oh boy. As it was 95° outside, at least we spent 3 hours in air conditioning and had good food at the drafthouse theater.",4 "I have looked at other peoples reviews of this film, and let me start by saying I loved the other HP Movies. But the people that have reviewed this film are you sniffing GLUE??? What a waste of 2 hours..... it was just a lot of nothing.... I read this on someones Else's review and i think they are spot on... ""When Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows ended, I asked to myself: Two and a half hours for this? I think that the important elements from this film could have easily occupied the first half hour from the following film without losing the spirit from the book or the growth from the main characters. Big part of this film is a boring ""road movie"""" I was shocked and I nearly feel asleep and for 1 second i thought it was just me but when it ended, I heard nearly everyone in the Cinema saying what a load of XXXX and how do we get our money back!!! What were they thinking when then split it and done what they did, I guess it must have just been a money making Spin before the last one.. Do yourself a favour wait for this to come out on DVD and don't waste your money at the Cinema, YOU WILL BE Disappointed:: Just my view, but I have never come back and went straight on IMDb to tell everyone I could, not to waste the time in their life when they could do other things and enjoy it more when the next one comes out.... I hope they don't mess that one up too..... I'm worried. ....",4 The only thing good about this movie is Chris Hemsworth but he is also not in his prime . Horrible acting by other casts .Action sequences didnt feel realistic. It has zero plotline .Its like they wanted to show some cool action sequences so they made this movie other than that it has nothing goor to offer .,3 "Well Season 1 and 2 were great. Had a good plot. Season 3 is just running around just to drag the series without a reasonable flow, and too predictable too which is not great. I hate to see kids have been involved in such activities, and I think this is abnormal for 1980s, and kids language is absurd. These producers must think about to slow down the rate of devastation of the society.",1 "I wanna ask to those who gave high scores, whats going on in the story, too much confusion i have played 6 episode but still didn't get the story. Screen play totally messed up in between current and flash back scenes.",5 "Sometimes you read reviews and think some people are wrong when they say a film is bad but wow, this film was boring. 1hr and 10mins and i got so bored i had to stop watching because i was falling asleep. Very disappointed, i don't know what direction the filmmakers were going for but this film manages to really let you down. Loved the last Annabelle but this one went in the wrong direction.",1 "Has a great new villain and I think it is much greater than the first one. Alfred Molina plays Doc Ock with absolute perfection, I doubt another actor would've been better. Spider-man 2 is a definite must-see for all ages. Tobey Maguire does well playing Peter Parker aka spider-man as a young adult facing all his spider-man responsibilities, as will as his alter ego's ones. The movie made you feel sorry for poor peter and when you think it's bad enough, Doc Ock just has to come into the picture. I absolutely love the music for Spider-Man 2 and I've seen it in theaters numerous times. I can't wait for it to come out on VHS and DVD. I rank it number 1 on my top ten movie list.",10 "This wonderful show went in my opinion from a subjective 9-10 out of 10 in the first season, to a solid 7-8 in the second, and to maybe 2-3 in the third. The storyline became banal, and is now as moralizing as so many other shows, rather than reflecting the complexity and ambiguity of life. The interactions became boring and predictable, the depth is gone from the characters. The show started out as a worthy adversary for Watchmen (the movie, haven't seen the show), and ended up in a pitfall of pointlessness and mediocrity.",3 "Movies about Mental Disorders usually are given a pass by the Public and by Critics. Meaning they are given more latitude than most. That seems to be the case in this overrated Film that starts out quite good but around the second half it becomes unhinged and lapses into a formulaic and very predictable Picture. There are some good Acting chops and the first part of the Script is humorous and the beginning of the Romantic Relationship is compelling but then something happened. That is nothing happened that was not either outlandish contrivances or painfully predictable. From about the time the Dance rehearsals start it missteps, stumbles and is quite irritating and boring. The Movie dances around and then forces the ending with some betting gymnastics to the detriment of the subject matter. It relies on the most overused and unexciting Sports finale clichés so everyone can throw up their arms and shout Yea!!! This belongs in another type of pablum known as, we will score just when the clock runs out. Boo!!! It's hard to imagine this as being sincere about Mental Disorders. More like a handle to grab some cash and awards, pulling the strings and gaining approval for articulating those with handicaps, but here, it all just seems like sleight of hand. There is nothing going on here that deserves any kind of appreciative accolades. In the end it is kind of a cheap shot at the expense of a sensitive, empathetic, and caring Audience.",4 "Worse than Triple Frontier. Nextflix (non sp) gave away so many rights for good programming and film rights to do original programming. This film (if you call it that) is so bad. Guess the Helsmworth guy is just looking for a paycheck for his awful spaceship home in Byron Bay. Wouldn't recommend this film to an insomniac. 0/10 stars.",1 "I'm Russian, my father went to Chernobyl as a physicist quite a while after the explosion (a few years). However, he is still shocked of what he has seen over there. I think he will love this TV series... Anyway, I want to say that this is incredible. I've seen just two episodes and I can't find words to describe how emotionally deep is this film... The details of the Soviet life that are shown in this TV series are incredible. I can't imagine how hard was it to get to this level. It must have been a deep research with tons of interviews. Besides the details, the filmmaking and the music - absolutely unbelievable. Thank you for this. This is one of the best things I've ever seen in my life.",8 "Like Wandavision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is essential for the character developement. And Zemo is an amazing character and great performed by Daniel Brühl. I really enjoyed this series, it has some pretty awesome moments. I'm looking forward for their next adventure.",8 "I was pleasantly surprised by how great this series turned out. It truly does keep you guessing with enthralling mysteries and adventures, and it adapts the Addams Family franchise in such a fun, creative way, though I never had much of a connection to it prior to this viewing. Wednesday and Co. Are very likable characters that you want to stick around for, brought to life by an incredible cast. There are some characters and plot lines that could have been developed better, as well as some of the humor being somewhat repetitive. However, I really want to see more of Wednesday's Nevermore experiences in a 2nd season.",7 "Very good acting but some people confuse love with an almost insatiable hunger for sex, which it really is on her part, and a sweet face with a good heart. No, they will not stay together.",6 "I have not seen a movie with such technical brilliance, loved the performances. I would love to see more content based movies coming of Indian film industry.",10 "Okay, I don't really have the time to make a big review of the series, but this is addressing the people who become so attached to something that they hype and preach it to the point where it seems almost perfect. A good example of this was the new Star Wars movie that recently hit theatres in September. Before fans even seen the movie, they hyped it up way too much so when people left the cinema the day of it's released, many were disappointed that it wasn't as perfect as everyone was saying it was. The same goes for One Punch Man. I've seen reviews dating from back when episode one was just released were people were giving the overall series a perfect ten without watching it in it's entirety. Even afterwards, many were still giving the series 10/10 stars, despite it's problems (which it has) I know it all falls down to opinion, but the more and more reviews I looked at, the more I realised the number of perfect scores weren't decreasing. There's nothing wrong with liking a TV show (a lot) but giving it a perfect score just because you like it is absurd. When the show dies down after season 2, which will probably be the last, I hope most will come to realise that this show is not the greatest in existence. This show is the highest rated on IMDb because of fanboys/girls who are still way to into it. Don't let the ratings lie to you, it's a great series, but believing it's perfect going into it is just going to disappoint you when you realise that it isn't. All in all, I'd give OPM an 8.5 Btw, loved the new Star Wars movie (like I said though, the hype ruined it a bit)",8 "Like all the other Coen brothers films, this is crafted with expertise (well, at least that kind of expertise distinctive to their style) and makes for good entertainment, but -- purely aside from the artistic merits of the film -- it isn't what I consider their MOST entertaining movie. The first time I saw this, I considered it pretty good thriller-entertainment, but not as spectacular or amazing or all that extraordinary as the critics seemed to think. After the second time through, I figured the same thing. Finally, after some more cinematic maturation, I watched it a third time, and basically think the same thing. The story is based on real events (warning: I may not be particularly drawn toward movies based on real events, as they strike me as too journalistic for the medium, but that may be one of my idiosyncracies); it is particularly appropriate for a Coen brothers film because of the way the events transpire. It revolves around a real slimeball's attempt to ""solve"" his monetary crises by having his wife kidnapped and held for ransom, and the money then funneled back to him. Of course, what makes it all interesting is how things get increasingly screwed up and gruesome as the story goes on. The Coen brothers obviously embellish events and characters with their own quirky twists and mannerisms -- e.g., from the slimy but incompetent maneuverings of the husband, to the cheery-and-cute-but-very-smart cop (played by Frances McDormand), to the criminal duo of the whiny tactician (Steve Buscemi) and his sullen but very dangerous sidekick (Peter Stormare). It's most definitely better than the usual action/thriller/mystery flick, though that by itself doesn't say a lot. My impression is that the Coen brothers put together a film that for them was pretty ""standard"" but happened to hit it on with a lot of viewers and critics; they were probably as surprised at all the attention as I was. It's pretty middle-of-the-road for fans of the little genre that is the films of the Coen brothers. For Coen brothers films that I both liked a lot and regard as ""distinctively Coen brothers"" (come to think of it, is there any movie they've made that isn't?), I recommend _Miller's Crossing_, _Barton Fink_, _The Hudsucker Proxy_, and _The Big Lebowski_. (I am more mixed or undecided when it comes to the others, which includes _Fargo_.) All in all this means at minimum that it's well worth watching at least once, but not a ""must buy."" On my scale, that's a 7 out of 10.",7 "+ Main actor is very good, very good impersonation of Geralt + Very beautiful scenery, or if it is green screen they done a very good job For the fans of the game/book this will be very disapointing. For those who dont know the story it is very hard to u",5 "I watched this movie and was so touched by it and speechless. Mindblowing performance by Shahrukh khan and his co-star actress Kajol .Awesome direction by Karan Johar. Overall My Name is khan is a wonderful movie. All I can say is if you go to watch this movie,than do carry your tissue paper along you because its a movie which will touch your heart and will make your tears fall off from your eyes. a brilliant film. if some one asks me how much ratings i would give than i would say 5/5 ,10/10, and 100/100 also are not a respectable for my name is khan . It is beyond ratings. More than just a film .Its an experience which every one in the world should have. Go ahead do experience it .A beautiful story and epic saga about humanity .we are more than just our names",10 "I didn't see this in the theater but saw it the first week it was out for rental, and have enjoyed it ever since. In fact, I probably enjoy this more each time I view it. It's a sick movie, though, make no mistake about that. However, it holds a strange fascination, probably because of the odd characters. About the story: first, it is NOT a true story as indicated in the movie. That's a lie. It's a fictional kidnapping-turned into murder story with a few bloody scenes, lots of profanity (most of it by Steve Buscemi) and a comedy. Yup, this is pure ""black comedy."" It's dark humor mixed in with a parody about the way the Scandanavian people in the upper Midwest supposedly speak. Both William H. Macy and Frances McDormand have some wonderful facial expressions along with their accents. Those two and Buscemi are the lead characters and all three ""are a trip."" Macy is hilarious; the best character in here, in my opinion. The more I watch this film, the funnier he gets. It's also the best role, I assume, ever for McDormand who was never a star before - or since - this movie. Her character in here, ""Marge Gunderson,"" elevates this movie from just another modern-day sick crime movie, to an original. It's nice to see a wonderful husband-wife relationship, too, as is shown here with her and husband ""Norm"" (John Lynch). You have this clean, old-fashioned lady cop (McDormand), a middle-of-the-road bungling car salesman (Macy) and two extreme low-life killers in ""Carl Showalter"" (Buscemi) and ""Gaear Grimsrud"" (Peter Stormare) all combining to make this story a mixture not only of people but genres. Other minor characters are strange, too, led by one of Marge's old high school acquaintances ""Mike Yanagita"" (Steve Park). Add to that some equally-bizarre music (slow violins) and you have this unusual story that brings out the morbid fascination in us viewers. So, I guess what I am saying is this movie truly is an original, the best film the Coen Brothers have ever made and maybe the rest roles ever for the three main actors, McDormand, Macy and Buscemi.",10 "Was way too hyped going into to watch this, too many recommendations and felt too slow",1 "I've never loved this movie. Upon it's original release I liked it fine, but I simply could not understand why it won Best Picture over The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It was partially pique on my part at the time, but revisiting this film for the first time in over ten years, I was surprised at how muted my reaction to the film was far removed from that ""controversy"". From the beginning of Ron Howard's dramatization of John Nash's life, I felt that the treatment of Nash's mental illness was trite (much in the same way as was in Robert Zemeckis's Welcome to Marwen). As the film continued, I kept wondering why I wasn't getting caught up in this tale, and it took until after the movie was over for me to figure it out. So, John Nash is a brilliant mathematician welcomed to Princeton who has trouble with people. He barely knows how to interact with them, one of his teachers back in West Virginia described him as having two servings of brains and only half a serving of heart. He is so set on finding a new idea that he never goes to class and publishes nothing, spending more time monitoring the movement of birds, trying to determine an algorithm to describe their movements than anything else. It's in this section that we're introduced to John's first hallucination, Charles, his roommate, and the problem becomes rather clear in retrospect. Charles is unlike any other character in the movie. He's extravagantly boorish, having a position in the English department and complaining about DH Lawrence, and he sticks out like a sore thumb. Everyone else feels grounded, but Charles feels like he comes from another zanier movie. This problem gets shared by John's later major hallucination, Parcher, a US government official who brings John into an operation to find hidden messages and codes in periodicals. Everything about Parcher stands out against the reality we discover later. The sets are too big, the technology too outlandish, and the treatment too broad. Now, I think there's an argument to be made that Nash's hallucinations should stand out, but I wouldn't agree with it. Nash spends years with these hallucinations, and since the movie is told from his point of view the audience should feel like the hallucinations are simply a natural fit into the world around them. They do stick out rather horribly, though. This could be less of a problem if these hallucinations were taking on the mantles of different movie genres like a spy thriller with great skill, but the spy thriller stuff is pedestrian at best. It's perfectly serviceable and no more. So we get these scenes that feel like they belong to different movies that probably aren't that good anyway. This uneasy balance between how the movie presents Nash's hallucinations and his reality creates this real friction that keeps the movie from working all that well. Bringing down the outlandishness of Charles and the heightened genre tropes of Parcher, creating more subtle characterizations and scenarios (imagining Parcher's scenes playing out like the recent adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy which was all mood and atmosphere instead of sets and car chases seems like a good idea) could have made this first half work much better. So, the second half operates on the turn that Alicia, John's wife, discovers the depths of John's mental illness and has him committed to a psychiatric hospital. Under the careful watch of the understanding Dr. Rosen, John receives 1950s treatments for schizophrenia including insulin injections. When he's released, he's given medication that dulls him to the point that he can't work, can't really watch their child, and he can't respond to his wife's advances. This is where the movie works best, as the portrait of a genius intentionally cut off from what made him special, and the wife who supports him. As this section played out I envisioned a better movie that started with John getting taken to the hospital and told exclusively from Alicia's point of view. She cannot understand why the off-kilter but genius man she fell in love with has become a raving loon obsessed with hidden messages and a drooling vegetable in equal measures. She loves and gets nothing in return. I think back to Amadeus by Milos Foreman. Told from Salieri's perspective, it was a movie about genius told by a character who was less than that. It was an attempt to understand genius from the point of view of a man who was trying to understand it himself. In the same way I feel that A Beautiful Mind should have been about the balance of genius and mental illness told from the point of view of someone trying to understand it, his wife. As told now, the film genre jumps and ends up feeling trite. So, I say the second half is better, but that's only up to a point. After John refuses to take his medication anymore so he can work, Parcher returns and gets him to restart his work looking for hidden messages. Nash realizes the extent of his illness after a confrontation with Alicia, and he decides to try and seek help, but the movie descends into ""love conquers all"" territory where Alicia and John will sit together and figure out the illness together without the help of doctors and medicine. It's trite. I have no idea if this is how the real John and Alicia dealt with the illness, and I don't care. This feels like Hollywood simplifying mental illness, its problems, and its solutions. If the point of the movie was that the love of Alicia for John helped him out of his illness, then that's what the movie needs to be about from the beginning. Turning the movie in that direction in the final act ends up feeling cheap. Ron Howard is a perfectly competent director, filming what's on the page with skill. However, in my mind, he'll never be more than a passable technician of a director even with some great movies under his belt like Apollo 13 and Rush, and I think A Beautiful Mind highlights that reality. It's well made, but it brings the faults of the screenplay to the screen without a second thought. He feels like a director for hire where if given a great script, he'll make a great movie, but if he's given a subpar script he'll do nothing to make it better. There's a specific moment late in the film that highlights that, I think. Alicia is talking to John as they prepare for him to be taken to the hospital again. She's in the doorway and he's behind the bed. She's asking him if he still sees the people, and the camera points down to focus behind her as Charles' niece briefly runs behind her. The focus on where the girl runs instead of on Alicia with the girl's shape filling the corner of the frame allows for the audience to definitely see the girl, but it feels wrong. John's focus on that moment wasn't the open space next to his wife, it was his wife. Charles' niece should have popped in, not been the focus. Ron Howard is there to film that script to the best of his ability. With A Beautiful Mind, though, the script needed to be rethought completely from the beginning. That this movie rode a wave of praise to Best Picture is an indictment of the Academy and its thinking. I can see the appeal. It's the same kind of broad appeal that makes certain types of comedies huge hits, or giant action spectacles. It's simple storytelling to a low denominator that makes it easy to digest, but the movie's own schizophrenia in terms of how it tells Nash's story (along with a healthy helping of saccharine treatment of the characters, especially early) along with it's complete unwillingness to challenge the audience makes it a surprisingly dull affair for me. Now, having said all that, it seems like I hated the film. I didn't. It's okay, and that is really driven by performance. Russell Crowe is really quite good as Nash, embodying the character with tics that help him blend in. I do wish he had dropped a few more pounds because it's hard to hide the fact that Crowe is a big guy when he's playing someone who barely eats, but that's a minor thing. Jennifer Connelly as Alicia brings a woundedness to her character that works quite well. Ed Harris is appropriately menacing as Parcher. I don't really like Paul Bettany as Charles, though. A lot of my problems with Charles stem from Bettany's performance. This could have been something special. Instead it's thin Hollywood entertainment that, I don't think, has particularly stood the test of time all that well.",5 "After 50 years of making movies, Steven Spielberg is still, in the 2020s, finding new muscles to work. His semi-autobiopic, The Fabelmans, is different in style, reach, and aim, than anything Spielberg has ever made. The consummate ringmaster has never helmed a film so modest. And for a director whose personal attachments are spread all over his filmography, The Fabelmans may also be his most intimate. The story of Sam Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle) is the story of Steven Spielberg, Jewish kid from Small Town USA, lover and later maker of movies. Sam shares with Steven three younger sisters, an eccentric concert pianist mother, an electrical engineer father, and a nearly identical path to movie directing. The names might be different, but obviously The Fabelmans is a dramatization of Steven Spielberg's childhood. It's certainly not our first indication of what the director thinks of such things as his parents' divorce, his interpersonal relationships with his family, or the images, moments, and memories that inspired him to make movies. Spielberg has brilliantly disguised these themes within his genre films; in alien invasion movies, dinosaur pictures, science fiction noirs, and family fantasy adventures. But with The Fabelmans, here comes the full reveal. It is a movie directly about family. His family. One must assume The Fabelmans is Steven Spielberg's last word on the subjects that have bewitched him throughout his career. The Fabelmans is kitchen sink drama all the way; no bells, no whistles, no magic realism or distracting style. In other words, no distance from these characters. The ones we have here are all quite well-realized. Paul Dano as Burt, the Fableman patriarch, is a sweetheart; surprisingly real despite an affected subservient speech pattern. Dano's character could have been an embarrassing caricature of the ""no fun, get a job"" father, but he comes out well-intentioned and completely three dimensional in a thankless role. Michelle Williams has the showier job playing mother Mitzy. She doesn't fumble the challenge, and in fact carves out a memorable personality from the more artistically inclined of Sam's parents. In the middle is Gabriel LaBelle, the latest model of the square-jawed, brown-eyed, young male muse that Spielberg has been searching for for decades now. Like Ansel Elgort, Tye Sheridan, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jeremy Irvine, and Shia LaBeouf before him (the man has a type), he's good enough. LaBelle is a likeable personality, a truly important metric for a performance like this, and he anchors the film admirably. Will it be that elusive star-making performance Spielberg has clearly been wanting from one of his young proteges? No. But it's a nice one. A few supporting players stop in for extended cameos. Judd Hirsh's quick turn as Uncle Boris may very well earn him an Oscar nomination. Hirsch has the classic showpiece monologue-two of them to be exact-and the sort of built-up respect needed for such a role. Young Chloe East on the other hand is a real discovery as Sam's high school girlfriend. Just when the movie needs a little energy, she comes in with the good stuff. Her's is a bright and living performance that never feels put on. Seth Rogan is there as well. A risky, maybe inspired casting choice, he's not bad. The Fabelmans is practically structureless, even at times aimless. There is no agreed-upon thesis that the movie is working toward, nor is there a feeling Spielberg is coaxing us into experiencing. As a cinematic project, it does not play to its director's strengths whatsoever. But we've seen the resiliency of Steven Spielberg before. Desert animal he truly is; able to adapt to changing landscapes and external challenges. By his standards, this is a tiny movie. Not the first quiet, artistic coming-of-age movie (in one of the movie's few missteps, it trots out a clichéd bullying subplot that drags the quality of the production way down), but in experienced, versatile hands, one of the very best. The Fabelmans certainly won't blow the doors off the box office, and for many, its sincere love for the craft of filmmaking will go completely unregistered. That narrow appeal, however, is precisely why The Fabelmans is destined to become a very special movie for people like me. I had my own 'Greatest Show on Earth' experience at six years old, when I saw Sam Raimi's Spider-man in one of the great big theaters where my aunt lived. Later, after I had discovered more of my favorites, developed a taste for the movies, I made my own. My cousins starred in one Jurassic Park rip-off as a team of scientists pursued by dragons in Shanghai. I became a film snob in college, and made short films with the guiding help of a professor who thought I had potential. I got a job as a documentarian and later directed a commercial or two of my own. All the while, I had my own family, who happen to be a lot like The Fabelmans, there to support and sometimes to trivialize, but whom I love with everything I have. Oh, it is sappy to talk about how personal The Fabelmans feels to me. I'm sure mine will not be the only review emphasizing how relatable this film is to someone with the artistic itch. But I assume I'm much like Sam Fabelman, and Steven Spielberg too, when I say that movies are my therapy. Our careers may never compare, but at least we'll share that. Mazal Tov. 87/100.",8 "One of the most stylish and substantially crafted movies of last century. When some great names in the industry put up their efforts together, we got to see a profligately awesome cine experience. Moreover a movie ""Dil Se"" is a poem. Pure blend of music and romance which explains seven various phases of Love. Happened to see it again last night for ""N""th time yet it had the freshness. Like previous times, I really relished each and every moment of the movie this time too. Everyone in this forum knows the wave created by ""Dil Se"" among Indian youths when it released in 1998. Now, Coming to the direction and another technical aspects of the movie. Manirathnam is so known for his technical brilliance and flabbergasting directional suaveness and yeah, he did not disappoint anyone. It was absolutely an enchanting experience for me to go through this wonderfully fabricated movie once again. Like his previous ventures ""Roja"" and ""Bombay"" this movie also depicts human relationships against a background of Indian politics and military. Dil Se was shot in Himachal, Kashmir, Assam, Delhi, Kerala, and other parts of India and Bhutan over a period of 55 days and its so much evident that how much strain he would have taken to encapsulate all the obligatory things to make his movie an emphatic one. For many this may not be the best of Manirathnam but it definitely owns an unique style and theme. Music department by Gulzar and ARR I think I don't need to say more. Celestial by all means. What makes Dil Se songs so remarkable is ""Chaiyya chaiyya,"" one of the most exhilarating musical sequences in all of cinema, in which the romantic leads dance on top of an actual moving train that winds precariously along a mountain path. Eventually ""Chaiyya chaiyya"" unanimously selected as one of the top ten songs of all time in an international poll conducted by BBC. As usual there are few malayalis also sharing the credits in this whimsy stuff. The malayalam parts in the song ""Jiya Jale"" were written by our very own ever stable Gireesh Puthencherry and sung by MG Sreekumar. All other songs were too good n still holds predominant position in my list of favorites. Yet another element in which we ""Malayalis"" can be proud of is Cinematography. Awesome frames by Santosh SIvan furnished the movie more astounding. Each frames could easily convey what really director meant.Without him It would have been an ordinary experience for me. I am pretty impressed with the way he captured the song ""CHAIYYA CHAIYYA"" and ""dil se re"". Other technical aspects like audiography and BGM did impressed many critics as well. At times I forgot about the screenplay and totally allied with magical BG score by ARR. I should say he simply stole the show. On a negative note I am not that impressed with the performance of the lead as well as supporting actors. Did not feel the ingenuity in SRK's acting. Lack of versatility definitely effected him in this movie big time. And yeah it was just an okay performance from Manisha as well. Initially Maniratnam planned to cast Simran as Preeti Nair but she apparently stepped back and he opted Preeti Zinta. She was the only relief for me as far as the performance is concerned. In fact I don't expect any débutante to play something exceptional on screen so neither did she, still loved the charm and cuteness of Preeti and that really enraptured the experience. None of the supporting artists had to do anything remarkable and all of them went unnoticed. It is really sad that movie failed to create an impact in BO even though the movie had its own flavors to tremble every records. Not the first time we are witnessing something like this In fact we are quite used to it. In the current scenario ""Dil Se"" would have been a mighty hit since now a days some baseless, obnoxious movies collecting billions and trillions. No matter its a hit or bombed ""Dil Se"" is one of my favorite and it always will be. This might be the only movie I like not because of lead actors but the awesomeness of those who worked behind the camera, is what sticks me to ""Dil Se"". ""Dil Se"" always will be in my ""Dil Mein",8 "I have high hopes as this is one of the movie greatly hyped for the last few days. But extraction fall flat. A lot of people saying it has great action scenes but movie is a story. It is not WWE or a documentary on the history of action scene.Birds of prey had the same problem. Too much focus on one thing always destroys a movie. I really regretted watching this one.",5 "Beautiful, feeling patriotic even more than an army or historical movie. A must watch movie if you're an indian. Loved the plot, filmography, direction and off course the magic of SRK.",9 "Wife said it was the worst she'd ever almost finished seeing. Not sure it was worse than 7 weeks in Thibet. We just didn't get the it. Didn't seem to flow. Didn't have much lasting relavance to us. Seemed to go from shot to shot without much to string along. Maybe the best example of how poor it is was in a car driving. Short clips of music, fast forward, new clip of music, fast forward, and so on for 10 minutes. Maybe the last quarter was super. Don't know. We left about 3/4 of the way in. The only bright spot in the movie was that many of the set locations were ones I've seen in various films and tv shows.",3 "I had great expectations when I went to see this one. After 30 min I was thrilled, thinking this would be the best of the 3 Batman movies by C Nolan, then after 1 hour I was bored, just watching the watch to see how much more I had to suffer through this over pretentious movie. Not to mention deaf by the way too (much) loud sound effects, and struggling to hear Batman's voice (warf warf) and Bane's metallic one. And Bane?? Even Kick Ass would ... kick his ass .... easily, not to mention what Hit Girl would do to such a lame villain. Hugely disappointing movie that I had looked forward to for months to see, good thing I didn't spend more of my money seeing it at IMAX. For ones, most of the newspaper reviews got it right, and film magazines as Total Film and Empire got it all wrong (they do more and more, just see what they wrote about ""worst movie of the last 1 years"" Kill List).",3 "The Godfather:Part II is probably the greatest sequel ever made. It is very interesting. It is very compelling. It is also the first sequel to win an Oscar for best picture. Unique in its idea of two different times. New don of the Corleone family Michael(Al Pacino) is dealing with Hyman Roth(Lee Strasberg) but Roth seems to be luring him into a trap and somebody else betrays Michael unsuspectingly and another story is the rise of his dead father Vito(Robert De Niro). De Niro won his first Oscar. His last movie that made him a star would have to be Mean Streets. Pacino should of won for best actor of 1974. This is his better performance than in The Godfather. The reason why because it is the best sequel of all time would be because of the film-making, acting, the set, and its thoughtful score by Nino Rota. A 10.",10 "Actually I like the movie and I put 8 out of 10 coz it missing something very important during the show ,,, if you think about the movie you will figure out where is the missing puzzle :-)",8 "You made Sherlock Holmes a fool, bad a book adaptation, I give it 5 stars for the sake of Robert Downey and the other good acting.",5 "For both dog lovers and those who need awareness - this is a movie to watch and love. Has fun moments but also gets emotional at times, the director certainly has a pulse of the audience.",10 "If you like movies with more action and less time being wasted in developing a back-story and detailed character build-ups then this movie is definitely for you. Fans of the comics will probably enjoy the movie more than those of us who are not already familiar with the new set of characters. But things fall into place as the movie develops so it doesn't take away too much from the overall enjoyment. The actors are all pretty good, Mickey Rourke does very well and so does Scarlet Johansson. Don Cheadle seems a little out of place in the beginning (not because of his acting, more because I really liked Terrence Howard in the first film) but as the movie develops he starts fitting the role much better. By the end of the film I didn't miss Terrence so much. Samuel L Jackson could have done with some more screen time, but I feel that they are developing him for the next installment in the franchise. Overall, the film was still Great! With a mix of the humor and fantastic special effects that made the first film so good. Go watch this movie with an open mind, expecting lots of action, some good moments of humor (there were lots of ladies sitting near and around us laughing out loud at many parts of the film so they obviously found it to be pretty good, as did the guys). Everyone's going to be talking about Iron Man 2 and everyone will have their opinions about what they liked or disliked about it (compared to the first installment). Don't miss out, watch Iron Man 2, it will not be a waste of time or money, and join-in on the discussions!",9 "Cuss words, frontal nudes, uncalled political preachings and religious rhetoric deviate the viewer's attention from the storyline and eclipses some earnest performances. Kubra Sait, Rajshri Deshpande, Jitendra Joshi and Neeraj Kabi shine bright in spite of limited screen share. Saif is superb in his solo scenes Gaitonde tries to eat all but cant as he should first get rid of his Wasseypur accent. Directors make a fool of Radhika Apte, as she gets wasted in an uncooked character of RAW agent. Satya+Rhetoric+Preaching+Profanity+8 episodes+Narcos wannabe = Sacred Games",6 "What happened? The first two movies were serious and epic. Ragnarok was a designed as a comedy with a smattering of story in the vein of the first two. The only thing this movie missed was a laugh track.",3 "I recently had the pleasure of watching ""Barbie,"" a film that captivated me with its charm, vibrant storytelling, and imaginative scenes. As a fan of movies that blend fantasy with a touch of reality, I found ""Barbie"" to be a delightful escape into a world filled with color, adventure, and heart. The movie brilliantly captures the essence of the iconic Barbie character - a symbol of both beauty and empowerment. It portrays Barbie not just as a figure of elegance but also as a character with depth, resilience, and an inspiring can-do attitude. The story weaves through her adventures with a sense of whimsy and wonder, appealing to both young audiences and those who are young at heart.",9 First series was excellent & very original but the plot is getting more random and silly so it's dropping off quickly in series 3. Still decent but not gripping...,6 "The movie is predictable and secondary. Nothing different from this chaff ""super heroes"". It may be attractive to children or teenagers - but also harmful to them.",1 "This the worst tripe I have ever seen nominated for an Academy Award! I would say it takes the Guinness World Book Of Records on that one, followed closely by AVATAR. Bullock looks like her typical lugubrious self, albeit in a space suit for 90 minutes. Kim Kardashian could have played this part better, as any moron could have been cast in this role. I saw only bits and pieces of this movie and immediately knew I would NEVER watch such hogwash, even if I was so bored I only had the pastime of laundering my socks. It is totally implausible and BORING. What this movie proves, more than anything else, is that it sure doesn't take much to amuse the younger generation these days.",1 "Many of the effects in this movie have been copied over and over. This movie has excellent action and effects but I found the story too unbelievable to enjoy. I check my watch several times while in the theater......",5 "The film effectively is about female Russian agents being trained to use their sexuality to achieve their goals. It is quite explicit and disturbing how they are trained to complete these roles. Following their completion of their training it also becomes quite violent. Whilst it may appear truthful how these women are trained and operate, it is disturbing for the same reasons. So on the one hand the story is intriguing on the other hand it is upsetting. As a viewer you are conflicted.",6 "It kept us entertained which is why I have it 4 stars, but i kept waiting for something to happen...but it never did. A letdown. I'd pick something else to watch.",4 "This was as real as it could get. Few of the news that were happening seemed very less probable to happen together, kind of looked like were present to support the script. I mean this is what would almost happen in real life if such a boon is there. If it wasn't appreciated by someone then they are more into fantasy maybe. Anyway, I kind of find few moments out of play or maybe it's just me. If someone thinks like boon is not possible in real life and all it's not the point. The point is what money does to a person. Some things remain unclear to me still like if Bhuvan was being cheated upon or not. If yes, why?",8 Makes no sense a lot of the time. Bad writing and if there is a second season if Emily Blunt is in I'm out!,3 "If you want to sleep, please watch it. Completely boring and slow. Also it's a non-original story made wrong. So, save your precious time and don't waste it watching this tedious series, I can't even believe they've found space for a second season.. Ohh spare me..",2 "I really loved this show, so sad it only lasted 3 seasons. The first season started slow, a lot of what happened, happens on a psychological level and Hugh and Mads play it wonderfully. The settings and killings were like paintings artfully beautiful, crazy and amazing. The second season is my favorite season especially the last two episodes are among the best episode i've ever seen in a season finale. Mads played Lecter on to a new level and to be my favorite Hannibal of them all. As much as I love and admire Mr. Hopkins Mads played diverse and impressed me. A shame he didn't got a Golden Globe for the last episode only, he deserved it. The third season is a bit weaker than the second season but still a good enough to keep all the crime and serial killer shows behind Hannibal.",9 "This is one of the worst things... Sorry, the worst thing I have seen in my life. Worst of tv, movies, books comics! Wasted my whole sunday on this.",1 "I was looking forward to watching this for a while but after watching it, it was not very good. There is nothing is worse than a movie that was only made to appeal to hipsters and other kinds of yuppies who think just because something is different and was shown at film festivals instead of theaters, means it's good. The landscape is nice, not much to say about the camerawork since most of the shots are just still shots. The effects are kinda neat and do their job of trying to emulate that old movie feel. But the movie does not make you uncomfortable or anything like it wants you to be, the whole film is just really dumb and the dialogue between the two characters just comes off as awkward and stiff. There's nothing really of substance that pulls you into the movie and makes you forget you're watching a movie or keeps you invested in the ""plot"". Unless you like watching Robert Pattinson spank his monkey off camera I would not recommend.",2 "When I sat down to watch this film I assumed it would be some fun pink silly movie but it was not in the best possible way. It starts very much in that way but the second Barbie gets to the real world everything changes and the film makes so many important statements on sexism and the treatment of women. I thought it perfectly addressed the affect Barbie has had on the world and never shied away from it. This movie does not flinch away from the reality of the world or what damage ignorance can do (Ken). America Ferrera's speech is amazing and moved me so much as did Barbie's own found freedom. Robbie was an amazing Barbie and all the women shined in this movie...and Alan was pretty good too. It was everything you can want from a movie, sharp, whitty, moving, honest and progressive. The perfect Barbie.",10 "Hilarious plot! I really dig Stephen Chow's sense of humor. This movie has Matrix's special effects but with lot more funny scenes. It might appear a little stupid if you are new to Stephen Chow's style. But no worries, once you get a hang of his dark humor, you will really enjoy it. After all, he is ranked way up there in Hong Kong entertainment arena along with Jackie Chen and Jet Li as far as popularity and gross income are concerned. I enjoyed this movie a lot more than ""House of Flying Daggers"", which is a little confusing, and characters' motives are unclear. This movie however makes everybody's intentions every clear. It just makes you anxious to find out who is gonna kick whose ass in the end. I also like the love story briefly intertwined with the action scenes. The quick flashback of Stephen Chow's character wins you on his side at early stage of the movie, so that you like his character despite of all the bad things he does. It especially makes you feel good when you see him kicking someone else's ass for a change. In conclusion, I love the movie. I guess I better clean up my DVD shelf and find a spot for a new member of my collections.",10 "Put an A-List cast in a film with bad writing, give them a poor director who elicits wooden acting, make the whole thing boring and predictable, then nominate this mess for a bunch of awards-and you have another clumsy, dull, ghastly product from the dying west. Beginning in the opening scene, this is one of the worst movies ever made, and the fact it still gets rave reviews here and nominations out there makes this decline complete. There are far better films and series coming from international filmmaking today. I miss great moviemaking from Hollywood-the classics going back over a hundred years. But we have forgotten how to make great movies, and audiences have forgotten what they even are. Good grief this is awful.",2 "For anyone who has not read the book, myself included, this is a complete mess. Too many character names and places are dropped you have no bloody idea who is who or where you are. It took until episode 3 to realise that Gerult, Ciri and Yen's storyline are at all different times yet there is no clear indication to show the different passages of time. Gerult was likeable until his relationship with Yen. Yen is a b***h. Enough said. She's meant to be really powerful but we see no evidence to suggest she is extraordinary. Ciri seems pointless until right at the end. Also can someone please explain what in the name of hell is the Law of Surprise! I was not aware at first that Gerult's 'storyline' is episodic. Queen Clanthe is badly cast. Way too young to be Ciri's nan, it just added to the confusion. Between the multiple names, time swaps and utterly, pointless cringing sex it is dreadful. The stars are for Henry's acting, stage sets and fighting.",2 "This is the most disjointed, poorly executed drivel I have ever watched. I couldn't even make it through the entire film and left before all respect I have for Reynolds was depleted. From the random cut scenes, poorly timed flash backs and inane dialogue this movie has everything you need to avoid. It is like watching a string of Mountain Dew and Five Gum commercials, with an added dollop of explosions and a soupçon of blood and guts patched into a movie. Avoid at all costs.",1 "Predictable, mind-numbing, horrible. No plot to be found. I found it pretty offensive that apparently all of Bangladeshi police and security services are deservant of a violent death as the country is supposedly run by a criminal. The impressive visuals can't make up for it. And no, I'm not from the region.",1 "To Start with Shah Rukh Khan playing double role here , looked quite challenging & yes no doubt it was so tough to play a fan and star at a same time. The movie shows a obsessed fan (srk) named Gaurav and his love for Aryan (srk) superstar . We are shown fan's room full of posters pictures of srk which shows his love for Aryan Khanna. Acting wise gaurav fan character rocked and was outclass srk nailed it the vfx effects , digital motion capture + makeup was superb all well done and 1st half before interval was awesome with gaurav showing his love for Aryan the superstar. But 2nd half got a bit slow for me where things happened some way quickly but still action and chase sequences in 2nd half were great and fun. Climax too was terrific and emotional. My favourite scene was when gaurav visits superstar Mannat and his expressions at that time super duper magical stuff. As a superstar srk also acts well in character of Aryan Khanna But for me Fan character takes the cake and who knows it might earn SRK filmfare for the best actor this time. Verdict : SRK is back with a bang , the srk that we love has arrived on the scene yet again . One of his best movies if not the bestest. The movie will make you cry , laugh it's a kindda dark film but full on entertainment. It has already beaten bajraangi bhaijaan 1st day box office collections & and who knows it might become highest grosser ever in bollywood. So recommended for srk fans + all his haters who will also become his jabra fan's after watching it. 10/10 form my side . Highly Recommended. Thanks",8 "Tom Cruise carries the hell out of this film. Don't get me wrong, the story is incredible, but the camerawork is awful and I found it very distracting. There's a scene where they're in a diner and it looks like something out of The Office. Shaky, then zooming in on the person's facial expression. Other moments looked amateurish as well. On the contrary, the flying scenes were pretty great. Most of the acting here is also pretty subpar, but I get a strong feeling that it stems from bad writing rather than bad acting. I've seen a lot of these folks in other films and from what I remember, they're pretty good. (Caleb Landry Jones, for example, is a phenomenal actor, and even his performance here felt off.) Supposedly they were working with a budget of 50 - 60 million dollars. I gotta ask... Where'd it go? I don't see it. If you told me this flick was made with twelve million and change, I'd believe you. I hate to be such a Debbie Downer, but yeah, a 7/10 almost feels too high. Had it not been for Cruise, I'd be putting this at a 5. So much potential here left untapped. I hate seeing these incredible true stories fall into bad hands.",7 "As you all know I share ratings with following sequence: rating = number of stars, 6=1(poor), 7=2(average), 8=3(good), 9=4(very good), & 10=5(excellent). Now I will tell you why I have been rated this as poor. The example of type of knowledge is 'how to execute certain magic'. In the whole world everybody should be given access to such knowledge. Only such a world would be ideal. Here in this movie this idea is contradicted. The knowledge is shared only among selected ones. Morgan Freeman tries to make it ideal, but ends behind prison. When sequel was announced I thought justice would be done but the story that is woven even in the sequels is something else jumbled up. Hence even the sequel is rated as poor.",6 "Cinema is about entertainment, the people who produced and directed this train-crash have obviously no idea what entertainment means. This was pointless gratuitous ox droppings! If I'd seen it in a cinema I would have demanded a refund.",2 "Let me start by saying I thoroughly enjoyed Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Yes, It has flaws and feels more like a filler that sets up the third Fantastic Beasts but all those people saying It's awful are wrong completely. It's a fun movie that has plenty of moments of nostalgia and new elements the plot is light but does that really matter aslong the movie is fun. Isn't that what a these type of movie's all about? fun, the cinema experience and enjoyment. There are plenty of things they can improve in the third movie but by no means is this as a bad movie do not listen to the poison that people intend on spreading. Go form your own opinion, your own judgement. I'm seeing 1/10 and 4/10 clearly you don't know how to judge something properly or for what it is.",7 "I really thought this was going to be good, but almost as soon as it started the laws of physics ended. You can only stretch the truth so far before it becomes a total joke. The acting was very much less than stellar by these two main characters. But it's the mistakes (many, many, many of them) that made me lose interest first. I started to think maybe this was just a low budget project a friend of one of the actors talked them into doing, until I saw the movie budget of ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS!! That's an awful big mistake! Honestly, I can't think of one thing about this movie that was factually accurate, or that interested me enough to recommend it. It's just that bad! If you live in Co., or Ca. Where people are perpetually high, it might be entertaining, but if you're sober, or have any brain cells left, pass on this one.",2 "I hated the movie. Reason being, I could not hear the dialogue. A lot of the movie was me trying as hard as I could to understand the dialogue. I could not understand 97% of it. I will never see another Chris Nolan movie again. I had trouble hearing due to the loud soundtrack over the dialogue, as well as the sound effects, and the accents. In the theater, I was wondering if it was just me. But googled it after the movie and see others had the issue too.",1 "It is not easy to become the number one trending series globally going into the second season of a convoluted, multi-faceted fantasy storyline, but Witcher's showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich has managed to sustain and surpass the momentum of a fabulous inaugural season. Henry Cavill returns as the beleaguered, battle-hardened 'Witcher'-Geralt of Rivia, a biogenetically engineered warrior forever tasked with hunting down this magical realm's numerous monsters. Our favorite ashen-haired brute is given the additional burden this time of acting as a father-figure to the exiled Princess Cirilla, played by an excellent Freya Allan. This unlikely pairing must travel the length of the continent, avoiding monsters as well as the agents of ambitious royals who will stop at nothing to eliminate the young royal. The political machinations deepen in Season 2 as we see new players emerge with Graham McTavish reveling in his role as Djikstra, the chief advisor to the Redanian kingdom. Eamon Farren continues the same rich vein of devilishness as 'Cahir' that we saw in season 1 as we get to see more of the ambitions of Nilfgaard's hitherto unknown and ultra-secretive royals. The CGI and intricate detailing of each fight sequence is top notch, and it is here that the Witcher scores above similar fantasy outings like Wheel of Time or Shadow and Bone. The scale, the sheer grandeur and largesse of this universe, is much more impactful and engaging for audiences. One even gets the feeling that you are watching a big budget film, just split across 6 episodes. However, I felt that the life force of season 1, Anya Chalotra (Yennefer) was given a much more subdued role this time around and one hopes that her narrative will carry more weight in the next outing. And I wish the makers had included more hand-to-hand, duel-to-the-death type fight sequences that we so enjoyed in Season 1, with Henry Cavill in full flow. As someone who doesnt follow the books that inspired the show, it is testament to the screenwriters and directors' abilities that they managed to distill the narrative from 6 novels and 15 short stories down to two action-packed seasons. With an unexpected, gargantuan twist at the climax, the Witcher leaves you hanging precipitously on the cliff of unrealistically large expectations for Season 3. Season 2 of this worldwide phenomenon has clearly managed to match and surpass the standards expected by the ardent fans of the books as well as the video games. And for me, as a humble fan of just the TV series without having knowledge of the canon behind it all, it was still an enthralling visual as well as emotional experience. Highly recommended!",8 "Hannibal is an NBC series starring Mads Mikkelsen, Hugh Dancy and Laurence Fishburne. It tells the part of Hannibal Lecter's life during which he works with a young FBI agent named Will Graham, who at first doesn't know anything about Lecter's horrific secret. ""Hannibal"" is wonderful. The character development that Will goes through on the show is awesome and played perfectly by Hugh Dancy. Mads Mikkelsen also fits perfectly into the role of Hannibal and plays it breathtakingly. The series literally had me strapped in front of the screen with excitement. The only criticism I have of the series, which is simply personal preference, is that it sometimes progresses a little too slowly for me. But the series is a must for anyone who likes high-tension series and good killer stories!",9 "Margot Robbie was born to play Barbie. Of course she's incredibly beautiful, talented, funny, and hip; however, I didn't have some life-altering epiphany, like so many others did. I actually thought the film was way too cheesy, 45 minutes too long, and also confusing at times. I love the originality and strong feminist viewpoint, the idea of Ken learning about misogyny and sexism, essentially bringing these twisted ideas to Barbieland, leading all Barbies to succumb to a more subservient role, while ultimately forcing them to rediscover their own power, talents, intelligence, and individuality. But after an hour or so, I kept thinking, ""Why can't Barbie just sing a song?!"" I wanted a fluffier, comedic Barbie, while what I got was a doll having an existential crisis. It was depressing at times. The cast was phenomenal, of course. I just didn't expect it to be such a mess in terms of storytelling.",8 "Overall a good movie, felt like Infinity War and two previous Avenger movies were better, not as rushed. There were many holes in the internal story for Endgame, could have been pushed out to two 2-hour movies to help fill in some questions. In general I was pleased but without giving away spoilers and movie details it's a movie to check out for all fans and want a good 3-hr experience at the theatre.",4 "I've not played the game nor read the books but I feel like this is one if the best dark series I've seen for a long time. Okay so cgi is not the best, neither acting nor plot, but it's hard to come by much better these days. I really do like the settings and cinematography, they lend their aesthetics to something resembling very much what it tries to be, a mythic, adventurous almost horror slash gore fantasy, and it does so beautifully. I understand how reviews are conflicted, I can see that people do rank this out of fandom for sure. I guess it's just one of those either you like it or not. I kinda liked it, it's definitely not GoT but then again it never tried to be.",7 "I don't get why people are so excited about this. The show is a complete mess, fragmented, poorly delivered story and carries no likeable elements like say GotG did when it came out as a curveball. Wanda and Vision are both great characters but this just destroys them.",5 "Honestly, I deeply enjoyed that men and women are able to partake in the action/adventure of this story in equal footing got me and kept me. Bending (not magic) is explained and kept wherein I could follow the story without worrying about the annoying power scaling that I find in most anime. So many wonderful things about this show but the best things is: How well written the characters (male and female). They are fleshed out with the sort of humanism I miss in animated media because most stories nowadays are just trying to one up each other to where humans aren't regular/even human anymore.",10 "The movie completely surprised me as I read several negative reviews on NDTV, Hindustantimes, Indiatoday etc where they gave just 2/5 stars. From now on I will never ever read their biased reviews. Such out of the way acting by Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam,Kirti Kulhari, Paresh Rawal will surprise you. You will get goosebumps in between and you will also become emotional sometimes. There was no extra jingoism. But a full Masala packed movie. Go Watch the excellent Direction, Music, Acting, Cinematography. make your new year special.",10 "Wasn't bad, but wish it was slightly more like Clue.",7 "Visually breathtaking, but they just look like hipsters wearing special collaboration winter wear from asos in the ice age. their faces & hair looked more well groomed/washed than mine and i hardly even go out.",5 "Darker than the first one, focuses more on the contrast new and old America. Incredible performance by Pacino and Fredo. Exceptionally long but one of the best ever.",9 "I was wondering who a sequel like this reaches a IMDB score of 8,6. Starting the film I had great expectations! But I really found NOTHING in this movie that is worth more than 4 stars. This is a senseless digital action trash with no story at all! It´s just a bunch of knows characters fighting the almighty bad guy ... No new Ideas, not funny, not emotional, just explosions and fist fights with some magic artefact lacking any sense. And the end of it is just -to be continued-. Even that tiny bit of story is not even told to the end. Its a shame that this move stands among great films with a rating of over 8. If you watch it please rate it properly and send it down to where it belongs!",4 Absolutely not what you expect from Marvel. Where is the speed and action? Sure... good acting... but so boring and slow.,2 "I guess most of the reviews are either paid or by hardcore Fans of SRK. yes, SRK as an actor is good but showcasing his talent on such a weak script and poor direction is utter waste. Beware, they release such pathetic movies and show the investment cost beyond 100 Cr is a trap. Somebody please file ITR to reveal the real investment. i doubt it may not even cross 10 Cr. I challenge them to release it on Monday, by Wednesday itself it will be off the shelves. People will not even watch the pirated version also. Oh yes, it broke 1 record for sure and that is making to the Top of my list of worst movies. Well SRK deserve standing ovation for this. What else to write about this movie...there is nothing good, no Songs to cheer you up, no epic dialogue which you can chant and on top worst direction which i have ever noticed. I thought ""chennai express"" might be the worst but this one is epic in breaking all records. DON'T WASTE MONEY AND TIME ON SUCH A BAD MOVIE. BEWARE OF PAID/FAKE REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!",1 I couldn't watch past the first 3 episodes it's so goofy and ridiculous the moms super arrogant the dads a spineless coward and his whole family berates him the entire show and dr.smith is just the most enraging and pointless character I don't even get why she does bad things it's like watching a spoof movie character or something from scary movie she's always smiling and can never be taken seriously and every single episode is the exact same thing someone almost dies but they don't they need to hire real writers,4 Really bad and disgusting. Not worth watching and not appropriate for kids. They have a tou guy. Time making food shoes these days nothing compared to when I was a kid in the 90s. Hopefully enough people will stop watching this on episode 3 so that they get the drift. Not much more I can say other than it's not well written and the fillers are boring and worthless. The zombie characters are just Wierd and not believable and they don't do a good job in explaining how and why things happened the way they did. I do recommend watching Megan that is a good movie if you are struggling to find something good to watch these days.,1 "Christopher Nolan makes a quantum leap from the unfathomable multiple dimensions of deep space and indefinite time in the Interstellar to a very earthly magnitude of colored grains of sand and the cold waters of the beach of Dunkirk and the moist air of the English Channel. Nolan's sets a tone with a deft, neatly skillful and quick moving triphibian – Land, Sea and Air – interwoven but disjointed narrative. The movie is a tableau of action set non linearly with the story coming out of the nuances of expressions from the actors with little importance for dialogue. From the looks of it, Nolan did not intend it to be a reference for History, if one is looking for a historical account then this is not the movie. Nolan says that if one is looking at the movie with a historical point of view then there are inaccuracies which he stands by - one of them being - the yellow nose paint on the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters. Nolan wants to tell a story and in the plot there are always going to be things that may not be accurate, it is the human responses to situations that has driven the movie, it is not about the war, it is about the British. This is more a movie of experience than war itself, this is about the stark terror and shell shock of people that is seen in enclosed spaces in the thick of war. One can see how war has gotten on to the mind and body of the people at Dunkirk when they duck or lie down flat on the ground when the German bombers Junkers Ju 87 spatter the beach with bombs. The movie is with fictional characters and it gives Nolan that much free hand to deal with emotional and other aspects of the story line, the kind of which one may not come to see in historical war movie - maybe we should see it in the light of the recent Brexit and see if there is message in the movie. As I see, the movie has a dig at Churchill who chooses to evacuate the British first and not publicly say that. This is not a standard war movie, it is not about the war, it is about the grit at war time, it is about the resolve, courage and move ahead attitude when decisions are taken, it is about the strength of character shown by people. Nolan's experiments with time is well known in his other movies - Inception, Interstellar, Memento and Following where we see that he loves anachrony, here in Dunkrick he has that much less freedom to experiment, but still does it with the Mole, the Sea and the Air, to his credit he manages to show time moving at different speeds at these different spaces. This is not a plot driven movie, it is a happening, occurrence and participation driven movie, more than concentrating on the carnage and destruction of war, the movie brings in the intrigues of the mind of people and how either quick changes in decisions are made or not made as the situation demands. It is more than Operation Dynamo we get to see here, ironically with no justice whatsoever to the statistics of Dynamo wherein the number of British soldiers evacuated was 185,000, number of French soldiers evacuated 121,000, with 25 destroyers out of a total of more than 150 ship and several 100 fighters planes lost – so don't go in for a crash course of history in this movie, like I said it is about the involvement of people in the war, rather than the elaborate descriptive narrative on the strategies employed in the war by the Allies and the Axis. The Sound has to have a special mention here, it has been dealt with great expertise in the movie, not only the presence of it but also the absence of it at times is the hallmark in the movie, the ever frequent crescendos and upsurge in the noise in the beach - the noise of the Stukas Junkers Ju 87 bombing the beach has been done with great accuracy. Special technical expertise has been concentrated on the sound track to recreate them with instinctive reality to give us a picture of the chilling effect that it could have had on the solders whose only chance against the German Sturzkampfflugzeug dive bombers was chance itself. The movie is a loop where one can think of the end as the beginning, considering the enormity of the Operation Dynamo. The movie pushes through on heroism of war in the subtlest way possible and yet effective to have an impact on the viewers. The movie was half way into production when EU referendum for Brexit was on, the analogies are there for people who look for unintended messages. Briton standing tall in the WW II and what was to come after Dunkirk was the Battle of Britain and talking of BoB, 20 th Century Fox has Ridley Scott to direct the movie Battle of Britain. In all Dunkirk reminds us of what Leo Tolstoy said – the two most powerful warriors are patience and time.",7 "I have seen john wick twice, once before watching Oldboy, and once after. On my first viewing, I loved the film. The scenes at the start which kick-start the plot were so unexpected and shocking that I immediately wanted John Wick to go out and kill many, many people. The film was not plot heavy, but it wasn't really about the plot, it was about the action scenes, and the action scenes were beautiful. The styling of the action scenes, were it pulls away and creates a dynamic movement, that's elegant and precise, and isn't cut to shit, so you can actually see what's going on, was amazing to me at the time. The nightclub scene alone is one of the most incredible pieces of action cinema that I had scene. The action styling was perfect, it didn't reduce impact and cut away for a PG-13 rating, and the way in which it dimmed the sounds of the violence and turned up the music made it seem almost like a dance. and the world building, I was fascinated by this world, the golden coins and the hotel and all of the little intricacies laced into the movies were incredible. In short, I loved this film first time around. Then I watched Park Chan Wook's Oldboy. Oldboy is a masterpiece. Watch it. On my second viewing of John Wick I was viciously let down. After the first fifteen minutes in which the events that kick-start the plot take place, the plot ends. That's it. After that john wick kills people, for an hour and a half. Even the world building that enchanted me so much the first time around fell flat, on a second viewing it just seemed rushed, and only existed so that john could kill somebody else, it was a means to an end, and that showed. John Wick, people could argue, isn't about the plot, it's about creating a clean stylish action flick, with stylized, yet unflinching and realistic violence. But to those people I say: have you watched Oldboy. Everything that makes the violence in john wick so good, came from Oldboy, the dulling of the impact, not clear and precise, but thick and realistic, comes from Oldboy. The long action takes, the gorgeous action choreography, all from Oldboy. The other thing that Oldboy has that John Wick doesn't, is plot. Now, the clean stylish action flick is fine by me, but if it's as unoriginal as john wick, and everything in it has been done many times better, in a movie that didn't sacrifice plot for violence, and delivered masterfully on both, just don't bother, watch Oldboy. It has a plot, and fight scenes cooler than the ones in John Wick, where enemies don't feel the need to come one at a time so John can pick them off.",3 I suppose it's my own fault. When it started in black and white I should have known. Still never mind I'm going to find some old wallpaper and stare at it for a couple of hours to recreate the pointlessness I've just experienced watching this.,2 "This one just takes the previous recipes and serves us the same movie. Long unuseful fights, simple vilain story and not much else. The only thing saving it ia the humour coming from Venom and Eddie.",6 "I'll keep this brief, this program is absolute space junk and rubbish. I actually set up an imdb account just to warn others not to waste their time watching this thrash. Believe me you will never get that time back! I only lasted two episodes before untethering the show allow it to drift into the void of a black hole. Just couldn't accept the actions of these stupid people. Riddle me this, why is it that in these programs/movies the actual ""professional trained characters"" act like upstart amateur idiots? Reminds me of Gravity, great CGI and views but complete dumbass unbelievable script. The only reason it got 3 stars was for the robot and that (oh why) chicken.",3 "This show feels like it was either written/directed by adults who don't remember anything about high school and are completely out of touch with today's youth, or by bratty high school students who are overdramatizing their social lives to unwitting adults. Either way, it's plot is full of gaping holes. Clay, like any other normal human being, would have blown through the tapes in one session, but if he had, there would be no show. (Almost) all the acting is cringeworthy. The characters are constantly doing things real people never actually do (which can sometimes make for an exceptional story, but not when the show clearly strives to be realistic). This show is garbage. Don't believe the hype that it is ""deep"" or ""eye-opening."" It's weak and it's a waste of your time.",1 "There are very few Bollywood movies nowadays which have a story let alone a good one. So its a welcome break when you see a movie which has a well-defined and unique storyline. And a story close to my heart. Let's start with the characters. Saif as Jai in his Hum-Tum-type character is good although at times you may feel he is blabbering too much. But then his character is supposed to be very talkative. I felt that in the break-up-in-café scene he went over the top but in the break-up-in-India scene where Meera(Deepika) comes after her marriage to meet him, he was outstanding. The way while blabbering her transforms from happy-to-sad and still at the end says 'I am fine' is a real good act. Saif as Veer Singh in the 'Kal' part of the movie acts out the Sardar part pretty OK. That role wasn't too big but mostly to establish the co-relation but I felt that justice was done to it. Deepika as Meera does well. I sincerely feel Deepika has shown more emotions with her face this time than in any previous movie she has done. Her role is well-sketched and has its moments. The scene after marriage when she realizes she needs to talk to Jai and get everything cleared and then she rushes out to meet up with him, she does really well. The other important character is that of Rishi Kapoor as the old Veer Singh. Rishi Kapoor is a veteran and it is sure established in here. The way he narrates his story is typical Rishi Kapoor types but brings the essence of the difference of times very well. Now about the story. Its essentially a comparison between love of today (Aaj) and yesterday (Kal). The story first establishes the difference between the times but then slowly it moves on to the similarity and how exactly the same thing happens with love of both the times, how the guy realizes that he has to win his love after she actually leaves him. It is well sketched but I felt that the climax could have been better. There could have been a twist at the end. Something that Imtiaz Ali had done very well in Jab We Met. And its because of this that I feel that it won't go on to be as big a winner as 'Jab We Met'. The songs are beautiful. All of them. They go with the storyline and blend well, something which is amiss in many of the movies nowadays. I specially liked 'Dooriyan'. All in all a movie truly worth watching and I am sure many of us from this generation will identify with.",8 The Annabelle movies have always delivered with quality story and good scares. With that in mind this movie continued the trend. As well as left it open for other spin off movies that deal with other possessed artifacts from the Warren household,7 "This movie was horrible. I don't know how anyone got the idea that making a movie about Venom was a good idea. He's not intended to be an antihero, he's just a villain. This movie makes suicide squad look like an Oscar nominee",3 "A good thriller is possibly the best thing one should be dying for. But among millions of its genre, not too many movies make it a count. Some are great, some fall flat from the beginning, some make disappointed at the climax. Now only the viewers have to decide Ratsasan(translates Demon) will fall in which category. Vishnu Vishal performs as Arun, a wanna-be serial killer movie director turned police officer. He witnesses teenager schoolgirls in his city being kidnapped and brutally killed one after one, by a mysterious serial killer. He gets some hints; but always getting discouraged by his senior officers. Arun then single handedly investigates the matter and faces it's shocking consequences. Ratsasan, despite a tad long of 2 hours and 32 minutes,will make the viewers' eyes glued with the screen all the time thanks to its gripping events and twists. But somehow, viewers may have a little but disappointed at the last. The music and bgm is top notch. May be the best of its release year. The plot should have been more sharp and precise. Acting is satisfactory. Overall, Ratsasan is a positive welcome to the triller genre .",6 "Johnny Dep and Eddie Redmane are distractingly bad. There are 7.5 billion (with a b) people in the world - let's get a n y b o d y else on the screen please. No more Hollywood and their kids etc. normal people who are not connected to Hollywood have stories to tell, talent to bring too!",1 "I saw this on the first day it was available at a local movie theatre. I was not disappointed. There were some slow movements in the film which I thought spoiled the excellent overall nature of the film. There is still room for improvement. Still, a brilliant film! I thought there should have been more moments between Peter and Mary Jane who was quite outstanding in the few moments she did have on the movie. I was slightly disappointed that the identity of Spiderman has now been revealed, and wonder how this will impact on the future episodes of this wonderful franchise. Still, I am confident that the team led admirably by Sam Raimi will come through. The film was also quite amusing at times when you least expected it and helped reduce slight moments of tedium and suspense. Fantastic!",10 "The Dark Knight actually got lucky. Movies over the last six years have been crap. Scripts poorly written, over budgeted for the visual effect - yet not transferring well to the big screen, bad story ideas, copy cats of other films,lack of creativity, films that hold vulgarity and violence as a high standard of film making. That's what we've had over the years. Now comes Batman - Dark Knight. Which is written well enough but whose aim isn't good story telling. It's written to move about from pointless spot to pointless spot until you reach the end. Why another Batman Joker movie? It's been done already. It has a mindless assembly-line quality to it as each scene is repeated over and over during the 2 1/2 hours of this film. The scenes are different only by location and a few faces. Something bad happens, the joker appears, Batman appears. Then the joker disappears and Batman disappears. Over and over and over again. The other big comment people had made about this movie is that it is very dark. Like that's a good thing. I don't get it. Maybe because I've had too many real life experiences that were truly dark. Motion pictures trying to have this quality and then for others to celebrate this seems ignorant and not very entertaining. Besides, movies over the last few years are all dark - even the light-hearted ones. This movie made me tired.",2 I didn't think this series would be a great one . And one of the best TV -14 rated series .,9 "Bird Box is a fun movie, I had a good time while watching it. I cared about the characters (even tho the first scene of the movie already give up their destinies) and was courious about what was going to happen next in every act. The problem is: THE MOVIE IS LAZY! It's commum in horror movies that the plot have to have some dumb characters so they can die. In Bird Box this doesn't happen, the characters act in a reasonable way, but the plot break it's own rules so people can die. All the deaths, and I said ALL OF THEN could be avoided if the script wasn't dumb. This took me completely out of the movie a couple times, made me get a little bit uncomfortable even tho the theme and the tension were making me enjoy the experience. I would recommend the movie, it's, like I said, pretty fun, but it's not a top grade horror.",6 "Marvel is clearly shifting its gears to make each installment of its superhero fare darker, grittier and even contemporary. After the mediocrity of Captain America: First Avenger, our 95 year old super soldier must now face several challenges and rise as a truly capable hero whose superpower isn't just his shield but his dedication to good and of course, his enhanced physical prowess. Television directors Joe and Anthony Russo (Arrested Development, Community) bring a lot more action, cheekiness and character depth to convert even the Marvel fan into its worshipper. We see a lot more of our beloved characters through various challenges that unfold in seamless commonality with profound implications on the future. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is easily the studio's biggest production second only to The Avengers with an elaborate plot that connects the Cap's WWII history, today's security issues and a subtle lead up to the next Avengers. Two years since the battle of New York, a nostalgic Steve Rogers looks back at his regrets and losses and at the same time, makes sincere attempts to catch up with American pop-culture of the past decades that he has missed. Now, as Captain America, his mission is to free hostages aboard a S.H.I.E.L.D vessel from pirates along with the very attractive and capable Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) who retrieves secretive data onto a flash drive as the Cap battled the mercenaries on deck. Upon their return to the Triskelion, director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) introduces the Cap to 'Project Insight', the agency's big public surveillance plan which involves fully weaponized Helicarriers that can preemptively eliminate threats while they monitor every human on the planet. But Fury's inability to decrypt the retrieved drive makes him suspicious of the project's real intent. After evading an engaging assault on him involving a car chase, Fury is shot by a new mercenary from whose clutches he had narrowly escaped. In his last minutes, the director had warned Captain to not trust anyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. After an immediate pursuit of the assailant, Cap loses track of this ghostly villain whom Natasha knows as The Winter Soldier. Scientifically enhanced powers enable him to match Cap's abilities and his true identity will draw demons out of Cap's past. Unable to cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D., Cap is now branded a fugitive by Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford) and is being hunted by the very agency that revived him. But an even bigger threat for the Cap is the level at which S.H.I.E.L.D has been compromised with a terror organization that he knows only too well. Thus, the Project Insight now has devastating implications in the wrong hands and Cap will need the help from agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) to prevent the Helicarriers from taking flight and targeting millions of innocent lives. The lines of good and evil that the Captain once knew are now blurry and will soon disappear completely. In all this, the action is a combination of raw force from our hero, who uses his exceptional physical capability and fluid choreography, that enhances the effect by making it realistic. Action merely supports the elaborate storyline and not the other way around. Every sub-plot has a thrilling action sequence starting with the hostage rescue, Fury's furious car chase, the heroic combat in the Triskelion elevator, Falcon's aerial dog fight against S.H.I.E.L.D machinery and the epic explosions along the Potomac river. The 'Cobra' type infiltration is delightfully evil within the agency and its connectivity even impacts the 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' All the excitement and intrigue can be attributed to the exemplary screenplay by Christopher Marcus and Stephen McFeely who co-wrote the Narnia movies and more recently, 'Thor: The Dark World'. The story behaves as a grown-up political conspiracy thriller and also lends suspense, twists and character insights that make the Marvel world even more interesting. Chris Evans overcomes any shortfall and showcases better physical might to prove that he is more than a shield. He has convincingly established himself as the most capable leader of the Avengers with this installment. The stunning Scarlett Johansson gets more screen time than all her Black Widow appearances put together. Her cheekiness is well balanced with her serious kick-ass ability to fight and she establishes herself as a worthy Avenger. Samuel L. Jackson too enjoys more screen time and has some fun action sequences as well. Robert Redford plays the wrong man in the top league brilliantly while Anthony Mackie as Falcon proves to be the Cap's comic aide who can stand his ground when needed. The gorgeous Cobie Smulders gets elevated in the ranks of what remains in S.H.I.E.L.D and we sure hope to see more of her in future Marvel films. Stan Lee's cameo is hilarious. The Russo brothers have adroitly pulled off an ambitious project that will propel the Captain America franchise to the successes of Ironman and Thor. Chris Evans has proved that he is a capable superhero and with such a contemporary take on infiltration by evil forces, he can leave the battling of Asgardian forces and comic book villains to his fellow Avengers. This soldier will not let decision makers trade in freedom for security and it is this righteous principle that makes him a super soldier. He is more than the serum that made him. He is more than his invincible shield. He is now more than just an Avenger.",9 """Iron Man 2"" is the third chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, i.e. the third Marvel Comics movie produced in-house at Marvel Studios. This second episode of ""Iron Man"" sees Robert Downey, Jr. turn out a strong performance as Tony Stark, and the cast of the film does a similarly grand job as that of the original. One notable change in the movie is that Col. James ""Rhodey"" Rhodes is now played by Don Cheadle, as opposed to Terrence Howard who filled the role in the first ""Iron Man"" film. Both Howard and Cheadle turn out strong performances in this role, and it's hard to say which does a better job, but it is a bit of a glaring change, with Cheadle looking so dissimilar from Howard. The rest of the cast all do quite well in this movie, including Gwyneth Paltrow, reprising her role as Pepper Potts, and Mickey Rourke who plays the film's villain, Ivan Vanko (a character who features characteristics of both the Crimson Dynamo and Whiplash, villains from the Iron Man comic books). All in all this film is a strong chapter in the MCU's ongoing Iron Man storyline. The film develops the Tony Stark character, matching it with the classic comic book Tony Stark by introducing us to not just the billionaire playboy, but also to the Stark that struggles with alcoholism and whose own contraption that saved his life is now endangering him with radiation poisoning. Both of those plot features are drawn straight from the 1980's mythology of Iron Man. Likewise, the film goes a step further by introducing us to a larger piece of the MCU puzzle by giving us more information on SHIELD and Howard Stark. Black Widow (aka Natasha Romanov, played by Scarlett Johansson) is also introduced in this movie, and is featured prominently. While it's probably fair to say that this movie falls just short of being as good as its predecessor, again, it's certainly a great, fun movie from Marvel. I rate it at 8/10 stars.",8 "You know how tough it can be to follow up a truly well-done movie, especially an animated one. I think Kung Fu Panda 2 surpasses the original, and it's because it introduces some heretofore unseen layers of Po while combining some contrasting animation styles. It's expertly directed by Jennifer Yuh and features the returning voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, and others. In this installment, the Dragon Warrior panda Po (Black) is now teamed with the Furious Five, defending the town from evil doers. Exposition tells us of the banished son of the old king and queen, peacocks, who became prideful and menacing, and now he's back to avenge his parents' treatment of him and to take over China - and, by extension, the world. This son, Shen (Gary Oldman) plans to do this by using fireworks as weapons to usher out the era of kung fu. Meanwhile, Po comes to realize that he is not the natural son of his father, the goose (James Hong). Don't ask why this is news. During flashbacks, we get to see what tiny snippets of Po's childhood emerge in his subconscious. He was placed by his mother in a pot of radishes and found by Mr. Ping (Hong). But why was he left there? What happened to his parents? Does Shen hold some of the answers? Probably. For - not a spoiler - it has been foretold that Shen will be defeated by a black-and-white warrior, by the local soothsayer (Michelle Yeoh). Shen knows this, Po does not. So much to like about this movie. In those flashbacks, Yuh uses an entirely different style of animation, mostly black and white, to underline the intensity of the scenes. It's reminiscent of the O-Ren Ishii's flashback scenes in Kill Bill, come to think of it. Dazzling and detailed, these scenes are emotional and provocative. A little more than you'd expect from a kids' film, but trust me when I say that the scenes are well done and by no means dwell on violence. They're tense, but not truly intense. Po himself takes on a role exuding more confidence and leadership. He's not just a bumbling panda this time around. He is a little quicker, a little smarter, although just as unwieldy and ungainly. He lends the team both clear vision and witty repartee. Although he's just as big as ever, he's become more agile and more thoughtful, more inclined to listen to Master Shifu (Hoffman) and Tigress (Jolie) than before. This makes the action scenes - and there are some terrific ones - honestly compelling. It's nice to see everyone resuming their old roles, even if actors like David Cross, Jackie Chan, and Lucy Liu get short shrift (someone has to). It's Po's story. Importantly, I never felt as if this was an example of stunt casting, as each actor seems to be fitting for his or her role. Be warned, though - the movie, like most animated films, does have its hankie moments. Here, they come at the very end, and they are as beautiful and touching as the rest of the film is charming and invigorating. The denouement offers a fitting coda for this masterful film.",9 Having done that job I can say that this is a terrible show. If The PPO suffers from PTSD or similar he wouldn't get anywhere near a firearm far less than be a PPO for a Home Secretary. Opening scene was very PC with female T/L and female EOD officer. Who ever was tech advisor hasn't a clue how we work and the process of becoming a PPO.,2 It's only noise. No respect for the characters. This movie was made to show of special effects. Once more it's Michael Bay at his worse. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time.,1 "I agree with Nikhat Kazmi on this one, as far as her ratings are concerned at least-5/5. The movie is a modern take on Devdas with absolutely fresh look. If you enjoyed black Friday and no smoking from Anurag Kashyap, you would love this one too. If you ask me i would consider it a musical but unlike other bollywood movies you wont find stars dancing around the trees.the music is off beat and gives the movie a life which otherwise would have been very dull because of a repeated subject.The Cast was fresh and well selected and well placed. This movie takes on some issues which have not been touched yet, keeping them subdued so as to not give them prime importance. movie is beautifully framed and presented.could not have been made better.",9 "I have to say.. I was not excited about this movie. I thought the first one was a little entertaining, but was to long and just rubbed me the wrong way. I was confident this movie would not be good but I was mistaken. This has to be one of the best sequels ever. When I talk about great sequels I mean Godfather 2, Empire Strikes Back... This definitely compares to that by giving amazing fight scenes and having a great plot. The movie might seem to have a dialogue of a 2nd grade level once in a while but you have to remember that this movie was targeted to children. X-Men started last couple of years of Comic Films but Spiderman definitely remains on top for the best out there. I must say, this could be the movie of the summer!",10 "When I first saw Inception in theaters, I was a fourteen-year-old enamored by the sheer scale and ambition of the project. I could not help but nerd out about all the tiny details and that open-ended scene, come on! Christopher Nolan could produce nothing but perfection for my teenage years. Then, I got older. I recently watched this again at home and realized how many plot holes and inconsistent character decisions exist just so that the story can go on at all. There is a lot of confusion the film presents that my fourteen-year-old self neglected because, BOOM, DID YOU SEE THAT TRAIN? Dreamception, come on! We all know the memes. This film is larger than life and it is a load of fun. Just don't expect it to hold up to a magnifying glass upon closer analysis. Screen Junkies put it best when they called Inception basically the Matrix without the aliens and more plot holes.",7 "This film was meant for 70mm IMAX cameras. This film gives a glimpse into the Battle of Dunkirk from land, sea, and air. Each of these settings has its own story to tell on how these men survived the horrors of being surrounded by the German during World War II. Film technical wise, it was amazing. The colors and lack of CGI, but rather physical explosions and cardboard cutouts to enhance the amount of men were nostalgic to the art of filmmaking. Plus, giving an excerpt into the stories of these men from various angles created an in-depth look at WWII...

I gave it a chance. The most obvious thing I noticed with 'House of the Dragon' is the lower budget. The first episode seemed like fan-fiction rather than a showcase for seasoned writers and diverse characters. The dialogue and conversations were bland and uninteresting for me. I had hoped for at least a single sex scene to grab my attention, but the writers felt that politics should be the sequence that holds this show together. The focus of episode one was purely set on kingly politics that will no doubt unravel and bring about the ruin of the kingdom. It isn't a little subtle about it, you can see it coming a mile away. The players have all thrown their cards on the table and you already know how the remaining season will play out. As anyone that enjoys political drama may contest it is unusual to find it in a fantasy story with dragons and princesses. It utterly bored me with the arrangement. This slightly necessary element created to further the plot was overdone, and it lagged on character development. I could care less about these people, and I'm already being told that I should be choosing sides or picking my favorites, but alas after an hour I know nothing about them. I can't even recall a single name of one of the characters. My fear is that this show will be the opposite of 'Game of Thrones' and become completely predictable. I will catch more episodes and update this post if needed, but as of right now I'm disinterested in what they've offered. It desperately needs the old tale's dramatic flair.",4 "Welcome to another of those mega hyped, overseas shot, another boring love story from Bollywood. The script, narration, story, acting or even directing is not of the standards that was set by Imtiaz Ali'z previous film JAB WE MET. Now when i think of it even Jab we met was not something very extraordinary or out of the box, but it worked because of Kareena Kapoor and Shahid's brilliant acting and out of the back drop of our simple India- Manali, Shimla and Delhi, not on the bridge of Thames or Hudson. Here in love aaj kal we have the splendidness of USA and London and 2 love stories to deal with. One in past and another in present, Saif Ali Khan features in both and does decent justice to the 2 roles provided to him and shares the screen with Harleen ( Character Name from Movie) and Deepika Padukone, Harleen is good but not much screen time is dedicated to her, as for Deepika Padukone she gets the chunk of role and has to match the acting of Saif Ali Khan and take the movie forward, is she successful in doing that? no she fails miserably. We can define the screen presence of Deepika as 'naught'. Initially the movie drags on fragmentarily as if trying to decide what path to follow- Karan Johar's or Yash Chopra's. The grandeur. the splendidness....ah!!! our Imtiaz Ali is trapped in those dazzling things. After a slow start Rishi Kapoor and Sardar Saif Ali Khan do try to pump in some gas into the movie with the past narration but the constant flip flop between past and present does not allow viewers to sustain interest. Devil must get his dues. It is often said that a good movie absorbs you in its plot. Undoubtedly the sepia hued story set in Old Dilli and Calcutta is charming and better than London one, but focus is more on present and less on past. The movie tries to become complex in the 2nd half with Backdrop shifting to US and Delhi, but over the top melodrama and dragging screenplay with Deepika Padukone's non performance makes the viewers more and more disinterested...All in all a major disappointment , Imtiaz Ali falls into the same trap that most of the bollywood directors fall into. If any movie of a director is good and hit then they just cant seem to follow it up with a better movie. Is this the downslide for Imtiaz Ali as well, or does he really have the talent that we all thought he had after watching Jab we met??? Only time will tell..As for Love Aaj Kal only music and Saif' performance had some positives. We are compelled to think what has happened to the Bollywood filmmakers aaj kal.....",4 Make old people shine again... J guess it failed.. The movie is so long.. It's not as good as good fellas ND casino.. Boring beginning ND ending ND you even know how it leads by middle of the movie..why am I watching old people acting as young..

Don't waste your time on this.",2 "Normally i don't review stuff, but after seeing all the hatters here (that probably are die hard fans from the ""Game of Thrones"") i had to comment. I didn't watch ""Game of Thrones"" but i did watch this title and i absolutely loved it. I could write a long text here but let me just tell you this way: My girlfriend and i normally don't see this kind of titles but since the first episode we've been really delighted with all the action that was presented to us. Just go and see it for yourself, you wont be disappointed.",9 "If you want to hate every decision and interaction for 2+ hours, then you might like this. I really wanted to like it. Almost stopped watching several times, in the end I just wished I had stopped watching sooner. Acting was good, especially Sandler. But watching nothing but terrible, self destruction decisions over and over again, most of which are so bad that nobody can actually believe, is just not entertaining at all. Frustrating to say the least. And it really could have been edited down to be much shorter, because many scenes didn't contribute anything to the plot aside from even more annoying interactions. I had really high hopes too.",2 "Obviously, the film's a lot of fun. It's a nice cap (pun intended) to the trilogy in that it combines some of the heart of the first (in this case the pain of a rift between friends) with the brains of the second (here the moral quandary of power and governance). Downey delivers as usual and the members of the supporting cast shine unexpectedly (especially the new spider-man that i wanted to keep at arms length yet won me over in capturing the childlike wonder and awkwardness that has made peter parker so enduring) but I found evan's rodgers, who is supposed to be the principle character, unconvincing and emotionally one-dimensional.",7 I don't like to be rude so I will just say that I loved soundtrack of the movie.,6 "I tried I really did... I wanted sooo much to like this I pushed myself till the end saying silly excuses to me that its not that bad etc... But sadly it is.. Except Henry's passion and a handful of good moments this is an awful adaptation we have to admit. Having read all the books and spent hundrends of hours in the games I find this show to be a joke. Nothing has an impact , everything feels hollow and the stories are meaningless , nothing like the source material! The writting is very bad its like hey lets put this here and that there but nothing makes sense! We dont feel what Geralt feels , we dont have this slavic feeling of the world at all , its just anachronistic stuff all over that ruin everything! Horrible castings , several characters been butchered ( poor sir Eyk.. ) , black elves, black dryads , a random Brokilon , dopplers , black Vigo family , messed up Cahir I mean seriously?? Stop ruining everything please and stick to the source material! Theres a reason everything is the way it is in the books... I really really hope they fix this but I doubt it, its Netflix after all... Should ve been HBO in my opinion",3 "Netflix's attempt at a 80s mystery series has proven to be one of the best of all time. The series is slow paced. Binge-watching the 3 seasons has been not really the most pleasant experience. At the time of this review, the fourth season is still waiting to be released. Some scenes with gore are present, albeit not excessive and not a lot. As a person who saw TV-14 with expectations of fighting scenes and minimal blood, this came as a fit for me.",8 "The Moon Knight has one power - every time I try to watch an episode I fall asleep rather quickly and got a really refreshing deep sleep. Maybe Marvel intended to develop something like a visual sleeping pill, in the case this was the intention and masterplan - bravo! Mission fully accomplished! But if there was somewhere some intention floating to create something entertaining, well ... Anyway, the production and acting is not too bad, but the storytelling - it looks like the art of writing a decent script (or novel) is a very scarce talent these days. Last but not least, the dialogues are really, well, lets be tender here, improvable (but that's an issue with many, too many productions these days). Anyway, if you are on withdrawal and need some superhero stuff pronto, you may try this one, if you need quality, you can skip this one easily.",3 "As a number of other people have said this show is initially very confusing. You have a whole, fantasy world to get your head around but the programme makers have decided to have events happening to different characters, at different times in the same episode...and they don't bother to tell you this. You eventually work it out about episode three or four. Once you have that in place you can relax and take it in. Very well made. Wonderful locations. Good CGI. Acting is absolutely fine. The whole Geralt and Balladeer dynamic is enjoyable. I was really starting to get into it by episode seven. Sat down for the final three episodes of the over Christmas to find that they only made eight. So, just as I was really getting the bit between my teeth the series/season came to an end. Looking forward to series/season two.",7 "If you want to make fantasy movie about people with the swords, some monsters and witches why don't simple make some of your own idea without ruining good name and original book? Bad acting, bad dialogues, bad drama. This is like Disney movie for teenagers, the only good thing is scenes of action, fights etc, but this is also the only good and the last good thing in all recent productions. Probably ""The cliché"" is a new rule for every screenwriter and director this time.",3 "It was kinda like i expected. Not best movie experience, but a really nice wizard athmosphere. The story wasn't so detailed, actually i could predict what will happen next. Also, I was giggling a few times because of humor showings. I'm rating this 7 stars because of the nice effects, atmosphere, nice storyline, good kind of humor and 'cause of Jacob, that man really got me. Great watching under the blanket with a cup of tea.",6 "Red Sparrow highlights the continuing misogyny in Hollywood today. Even an Oscar winning actress is not immune from it. Dominika (Jennifer Lawrence) is a Russian ballerina who gets seriously injured and her dancing career is over. Unable to support her sick mother. Dominika's uncle Vanya (Matthias Schoenaerts) recruits her to become a Russian spy and in return he would make sure her mother gets the medical treatment she needs. During spy training the sparrows learn the art of seduction. Giving fellatio to strangers so they can extract information. Dominika is assigned to seduce a CIA agent Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton) for information. Instead Dominika looks to use Nash to defect to the Americans. The film is inherently sexist rather than a sexy thriller. It is also tepid and lacklustre. There is little chemistry between Lawrence and Edgerton. This is a truly torrid film. As an updated version of the French espionage film Nikita, it fails miserably.",1 """The End of the Fing World"" is a riveting and refreshingly unconventional TV series that brilliantly captures the tumultuous journey of adolescence and rebellion. With its dark humor, raw emotion, and captivating performances, the show immerses viewers into the lives of its complex and deeply flawed characters. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, drawing audiences into their chaotic world and keeping them hooked from start to finish. The cinematography is striking, perfectly complementing the show's gritty and atmospheric tone. Each episode unfolds like a page-turning thriller, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating what comes next. With its fearless exploration of themes such as love, identity, and the search for meaning, ""The End of the Fing World"" is a masterpiece of storytelling that resonates long after the credits roll.",9 "The fact that there are such a ridiculous number of 10/10 reviews proves most of them are not genuine. Who cares about the ""clever"" metaphors when a movie just fizzles out into an absurd and unbelievable nonsense conclusion.",3 "Greatest movie ever seen on the big screen!!The performances are nothing short of fantastic Hrithik Roshan becomes Akbar and not once do you feel you are watching Hrithik on the screen. He is beyond brilliant and carries the film on his broad shoulders throughout. The way he emotes and delivers his lines shows that he is a super performer. This easily has to rank as the best performance of his career. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan matches Hrithik and delivers a wonderful performance as well. she looks ethereal a compliment she has heard a trillion times before. What's new in that? But watch her emote in this film. Although she does not have as many lines to deliver or have as much screen time, she still makes you sit up and take notice of her through her extremely expressive eyes. She emotes superbly with them and it only enhances her performance. This will go down as one of her career best performances. Also, the Hrithik and Aishwarya chemistry is as flawless as ever. They sizzle every scene they are in together. My advice to the audience is to not miss Jodhaa Akbar because doing so would be a huge mistake. It is a masterpiece and a definite must see. Don't miss it!",10 "The film is lost very early on by the poor quality of script and acting. James Franco has a distinctive 'shhhhhhhh' sound at the end of his words which eventually was all I could hear! In contrast David Oyelowo's diction was so 'RADA' schooled it sounded unnatural. Generally the acting was a B movie apart from Brian Cox. The CGI was excellent and the film could have been so so much more. You lost empathy with the human race when they were all acting so poorly and the script did not ring true conviction in any shape or form. I kept going onto ebay throughout the film to try and still the boredom! I was sorry about this as I had so loved classic planet of the ape films. I feel the score rating of 7.7. is rather more than generous. This film shows how important good film directing is, with a genuine script which is well acted - kind of basic rules really I suppose!!",3 "I do really like this show, but it has so much potential that hadn't been used yet. Then again, season 2 isn't finished yet maybe it will get even better. I often find that Tony Stark is not as satisfying to watch as in the movies -I know Robert Downey Jr isn't playing him so it's completely understandable- because his lines seem unnatural and forced without Robert Downey's classic improvisation. I also find that there are a few things that don't scientifically fit in with the MCU -e.g. How does Ant man shrink star lord when star lord has no suit. Maybe I'm just being thick and missing something but it still seems odd to me. I find that some characters are especially satisfying to watch: The Watcher, Ultron and Captain Carter. Their characters are well fleshed out and you get to know them well, and the actors did particularly good jobs 👍 Over all a very good series, looking forward to the end of season 2 and beyond.",7 "We already knew the story, the avengers trying to un-do what Thanos did in infinity war, for me this movie lacked of personality, I would have loved to see more relationship between characters, i liked the changes they did with some of them (Hulk), but there were characters that had insignificant appearances also. The pace was not that bad for the runtime, but in the middle of the film I was hoping to see more challenges for the characters, and more drama, it looked like the movie lacked of effort. For the budget they had, they should've done a very great movie. This one didn't surprised me, infinity war was way much better. Disappointing movie really.",4 Over all everything is perfect as it should be the sword fighting is awesome VFX and everything is brilliant but rather than focusing on the actual story they have focused on nudity i think overall it is amazing show i loved it!,8 "Everyone should watch this movie. Not just because it is entertainment but because I feel it is important to know and understand part of where we as humans have been. It will help you truly understand what some sacrificed in the past so some of us can have a better quality of life today. This particular subject mater of slavery helped shape the USA not all that long ago. For those that say it may be too uncomfortable to watch, I heard a retort summed up perfectly by Lupita Nyong'o who plays the role of Patsey in the movie. "" It gave me more than It cost me."" As for Lupita Nyong'o acting, it was FIRST CLASS! Give her an Oscar please. Fassbender was awesome too, I would expect nothing less. Chiwetel Ejiofor did a great Job. It seems his role is uniquely challenging not just because of living and acting out such an emotional part but because he plays an educated man who then dumbs himself down to play a slave, he has to master playing a role within a role. Mcqueen makes a masterpiece, pulling out many well thought out scenes. He delivers maxim effect from shot to shot. Some scenes say so much, explaining what he is trying to get across even when there is no dialogue. This movie will give you the opportunity to be shocked, cry, smile and empathise. The viewers at the cinema I watched it in gave a brief ovation when it was over. This move reminded me of what man can be capable of. I am talking about negative capabilities and I am talking about positive capabilities despite negative treatment. The word negative is barely the tip of the iceberg in terms of a description of slavery, as is this glimpse into slavery told through the story of Solomon Northrop. Every painful and beautiful moment stirred thoughts in my mind. Some thoughts wider than the scope of this move. I was able to reflect of the world we live in now which is still full of its own forms of slavery in this modern age. I reviewed my understanding of man's accomplishments and recognised that we still have a long way to go. I am thankful to those that sacrificed and died to help bring slavery to an end allowing my life to be better than theirs. It is our tern to build on those advancements so that freedom continues and improves for those that will live after us. I happen to be mixed race. 50% White and 50% black. I have carefully stayed away from writing anything that could seem pro one race or another because for me this film is not about colour simply injustice. I would like to finish by acknowledging the excellent job done by all those involved in making this film. Thank you",8 "Found myself getting bored with it, but saw it through to the end. A few, very few, funny lines, and a story that isn't particularly interesting. And and do they have to say 'Tim Kono' every time they are talking about him? Wouldn't 'Tim' do most of the time. Some of the storyline was lacking in logic, and, unlike 'Curb your enthusiasm', I really wasn't all that anxious to tune into unwatched episodes. Appreciate the effort of all involved, as it's certainly not easy to write a who-dunnit, but given the cast, I expected to be laughing a lot more. Don't think I'll tune into season 2 unless the wife really wants to watch it. Fortunately, the episodes are only around 30 minutes long, so it's tolerable.",6 "The original was more about the making of the bomb. This movie left out a major part of the movie. Watch the original movie first. Fat man and little boy. I worked with a son of a man that actually worked on the Manhattan project. The acting in this version was good but the story line was not. Please everyone watch the original which most people never heard of. I can't say this enough watch the original I mentioned I think it was made in 1989. Thank you. I hope more people watch the original because of my post. I would never watch this movie again. You will see what I mean. Total disappointment !!!",2 Not that realistic in terms of what would happen during wartime.,5 "...ruined by almost indecipherable speech, especially on the part of Cooper. We chose this film as it had received good reviews and we like a good science fiction film, but within the first ten minutes we knew we were in for a 'what did he say' -fest. The actor playing Cooper had such mumbled, lazy diction and spoke in a semi whisper it was almost impossible to understand anything he said. About an hour in we almost decided to give up and watch an old 60's Doris Day & Rock Hudson comedy instead - at least you can hear every word clear as a bell. But we struggled through all 2.5 hours of it and came out the other end none the wiser. Do they go somewhere to learn how to mangle their speech? Or maybe they have their jaws wired?",4 "Tom Cruise hits a homer with the depiction of real life Captain Barry Seal who was a hot shot ex TWA pilot recruited into the CIA after getting caught smuggling drugs for the Mexican drug cartels during the 1980s. It was good to see him back in a great role and movie after his disastrous Mummy movie. Watching Barry Seal ascend to the top and subsequent fall reminded me of Ray Liotta's depiction of mobster Henry Hill in the movie Goodfellas. The move was a bit of a comedy wrapped around a serious story with an unfortunate ending. I really liked seeing Sarah Wright in this film playing his wife. I have never seen her in a mainstream film but look forward to seeing her in the future. The plot was fast flowing with very little pauses or breaks. I was quite surprised how quickly the time passed while watching. The aerial film sequences and location was worth the price of admission. The film was bright and the sound was great unlike so many crime films today filmed in low light/night. The 80's props and clothing was very authentic and believable. Although the whole movie surrounds drug smuggling there was almost zero scenes showing drug usage. I probably would not watch again as the plot outcome is the big reveal.",6 "From the beginning of the first episode it's astablished that Will the protagonist has an ability to put himself in the shoes of the killer. The process is extremely cringeworthy and if you can make it passed the first time he uses this method to describe how the killer kills by his design then you may make it to the end of season one. You'll notice he also somehow psychic because some of the things he knows just isn't there to see. They also ignor things like footprint and tracks, typical evedence at any normal crime scene so they can make the writing sound smarter than it is. Hannibal Lecter is played very well and is written well I think without this iconic and likable psychotic the show would just of fallen below the radar. Season 1 was a great watch but season 2 where Will is supposedly exploring his own mind is poor and not enjoyable. More like a filler season you'd get while trying to stretch out an anime series. While filming this the cast must have tripped over eachother as the lighting in everybuilding is extremely poor, even in the day time people seem to want to talk in the shade... Gillian Anderson's character is almost pointless and could of just been written in afterwards for the sake of giving her something to do. Other than subtly or accidentally implying that hannible copies his therapist technique from her in the form of a wine bottle she's completely missable. And her acting as remained the same as ever with each new role she seems to talk slower and slower mistaking that for skill perhaps. I found the long drawn out twists were so obviouse it will have to be pointed out to you that they were supposed to be twists. And the dialog and the supposed battle of minds back and forth between Will and Hannable follow the same forumula of irelivant set up then over the top quip back and forth it's a shame the writer isn't as smart as the charatures he's writing about. The suspense created is very... Vivid, and some of the visuals created are Terrific. The other killers in the series are a mixed bag but are mostly well imagined and when given some though they can be terrifying. They do however wander in and out of the series as it goes often ending with their deaths very early on in their story and I feel there isn't enough time spent exploring them or their mind set, behaviours and actions while the show being named Hannible, spends so long focusing on Wills mental state well passed having got the message across to the audience. I've got more to say but I'm bored of writing this now, good luck Yes you should watch the show",7 Usual super hero movie. Lots of shooting and car chases. Zero plot.,2 This is no doubt the best tv show ever created. Definitely watch it and if you don't then you're really missing out. Stranger things is absolutely phenomenal and makes Netflix totally worth it.,9 "I did my research on the Moon Knight character before I watched the series, so now I have the basic idea on who Moon Knight, Mr. Knight, Marc Spector, Steven grant, and Khonshu the moon god is. Oscar Isaac was great as Moon Knight/Mr. Knight/Steven Grant/Marc Spector. He switched between Marc and Steven believably and he looked great as Moon Knight and Mr. Knight, the Moon Knight and Mr. Knight suits looked like the comic and were awesome when he transformed into them. Ethan Hawke as Arthur Harrow was a disturbingly interesting villain. He had a calm tone to him and whenever he did something bad you were disturbed and intimidated by him. Ethan Hawke played him great. I liked Khonshu the moon god voiced by F. Murray Abraham. He had a brilliant design, good-looking effects, he was intimidating, he had a great deep voice when talking to Steven/Marc, and you did not know if you could trust him or not. He had great appearances in every episode. The fight scenes were fantastic. Seeing Moon Knight/Mr. Knight fighting was awesome, and the action scenes are easy to see and nicely shot, while also having good looking locations in Egypt and cool looking tombs they visit. The show leads to a great last episode and leaves you wanting more. Some episodes start out slow, but they start picking up once they keep playing out. As soon as you watch the first episode you will be hooked and will want to watch the rest of the show. The problems that Steven and Marc faced were interesting and could be trippy looking. I do recommend checking this show out even if you do not know who Moon Knight is. After you watch it, you will want to know more about him.",7 Paddy Considine is certainly a great actor but his performance as the king is off the mark and hurts the Show! Can someone please start working with him and make him better? The show has a great and balanced cast so I really don't get why the let him go wild! The show itself is so well executed and well written that I think it deserves a better lead! I am sure he can come around if the directing is clear! Other than that all the departments doing a great job and I am intrigued! That was actually all I wanted to say but now IMDB wants to write more then 600 characters so continue writing so they let me release this review!,7 "Despite the fact, that the 3d-technology as well as CGI was on an extremely sophisticated level, everything about that movie was so predictable and simplistic, that it dragged down even the technological advancements, you would like to celebrate. After all it is a good guy-bad guy story of a naive mind (director and script writer). I actually enjoyed the most the first 45 something minutes, where the avatar starts exploring Pandora: The ideas about the forest and their inhabitants were very interesting and reminded me of a show, I have seen on TV about scientific speculations on lifeforms, where one or two parameters were changed in the environment. After that, the movie becomes a nightmare of phrases of good vs evil - only that this time evil is us and not the aliens. If you think, this is the pun about the show, then go ahead and watch it, you won't be disappointed. If you only want to see stunning CGI, please watch it also. If you expect complexity and maturity, go get a hello kitty doll.",4 "I've always had a bit of a beef with ""Deathly Hallows,"" the final novel in J.K. Rowling's lucrative franchise. My main issue is that nothing much happened (or, perhaps more accurately, nothing happened that the discerning reader couldn't spot from 100 pages away). Kill off a marginal character here, throw in a Christ allegory there. And don't get me started on that epilogue! Even so, I approached Part 1 of the final cinematic chapter with a mind uncluttered by prejudice or preconception. I've always thought the reins should have been passed onto a new director for each film, but David Yates at least redeemed himself for the rushed 'Order of the Phoenix (2007)' with 'Half Blood Prince (2009),' which chose its tone and then stuck to it. 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)' predictably suffers the pitfalls of its source material: namely, that nothing much happened in the first 400 pages of the novel. Because of this, the film feels more like a prologue than a chapter. Yates does an excellent job at establishing the mood, but then fails to do anything with it. Harry broods for a while, Ron gets angry for no apparent reason, Harry briefly dances to a dubiously out-of-place Nick Cave song, and then returns to his brooding. There's an episodic structure to the narrative, but each episode fails to give any overriding sense of achievement (invariably ending with Death Eaters suddenly bursting onto the scene). And why, for that matter, does Yates insist on constantly trying to surprise us? We know the bloody snake is coming back one more time. I don't like waiting around for obvious shock tactics! But good news there is: the actors are all terrific. The three leads can now carry a movie pretty much by themselves, the services of such veterans as Alan Rickman, Ralph Fiennes, Robbie Coltrane, Timothy Spall, Brendan Gleeson, John Hurt, and David Thewlis reduced to a mere sidebar. In the absence of Hogwarts, the locations are beautifully chosen, so secluded and serene that it's difficult to believe that the Fourth Reich is breaking out in the wizarding world. So I've been complaining a lot, but overall I enjoyed the film. Aside from a few amateurish flourishes that got my goat, 'The Deathly Hallows: Part 1' is an enjoyable viewing experience, and I await the final installment - without bated breath, but I await it nevertheless.",7 This movie has shown that Indian writers have brains but they do not want to use it. Hats off to Ram Kumar sir and the crew especially the villian ( Not taking the name)😉😉,10 I couldn't take one more boring minute of this film after watching half of it. The actors had absolutely no passion at all. Thank God for their previous films! The film was detached in many scenes. Trying the make the old dudes look young made me laugh time and time again. Oh well. Can't like them all.,3 "If you're a marvel fan and haven't watched this show, you absolutely need to! Not only does it have multiple interesting tie-ins to the movies, the character development and storytelling is fantastic! It adds a whole new level to the MCU.",10 "Everything is dark all the time. If the director couldn't handle so many sub plots together, he shouldn't have attempted making it. Complete waste of time.",1 "This could bring the change in how the television series are made in India.People are comparing this with narcos,got and others but this is not fair,this series is different, you will get the glimpse how indian mafia and political situation is like, like you can't compare bheeku matre in satya with jamie lannister of got.Now on the series saif's acting is weak which was expected but nawaz will make you watch the series and his narration is astounding. Direction is good,i would've given this series an 8 but an extra star for the dialogues. Watch it guys it is a decent watch",9 "This show started off ok and for me, it went down hill as the season went on. In general though there wasn't anything to grab onto, which likely has something to do with them using different actors for some characters as they age. The story was dull and often confusing, the lighting was awful, it can be night time in movies without having extended scenes that are so dark that you can only make out occasional arms, legs and maybe a face. I was happy to make it to the end of season 1, I will probably watch one or two episodes of season 2 in hopes it is better. This show is like a half hearted version of Game of Thrones. I found it to be barely watchable.",4 "I am frankly amazed that this film currently has a rating of 8.0, this film is average at best. The metascore figure of 70 out of a 100 is much closer to the mark, although still a little high in my opinion. All I can surmise is that possibly the majority of IMDb users who have voted 8 or above stars for this film are teenagers lacking the forward thinking ability that comes later in life which renders many films, such as this, highly predictable and slightly boring despite the obvious fortune spent on CGI. That said, it is still, very much, worth a watch if you have nothing better to do, or your girlfriend is away for the weekend and you don't have any decent porn.......or friends...",6 I knew nothing about this show going into it other then who the main star was who played Wednesday Adam's which was Jenna Ortega and she was phenomenal in this show. The show is basically a murder mystery slash horror and fun. The characters in this show are amazing and the relationship between basically the two main characters Wednesday and Enid I loved and they were so opposite of their personalities and that's what made them great. I first saw this show blowing up on Instagram and TikTok and then I saw clips and I was like I had to watch this. If you are a fan of the classic Adam's family movies then you will like this but even for people who have not seen the Adam's family movies from a long time ago you will very much enjoy it like I did. The only reason it was not a higher rating then I gave it because I didn't watch the movies as I said before and if I did and knew a bit before getting into it I would have gave it either a 9/10 or maybe higher. Overall great show.,8 "As a person that read the book AFTER watching the movie adaptation, I was not that dissapointed with the film. The book was incredible and in my opinion far better than the movie, but this doesn´t means that the movie wasn´t good just not in the same way that the book. The film misses lots of details that were in the original READY PLAYER ONE and the main plot that even though I know it isn´t always possible to recreate the book, i think that Spielberg had a lot of resources that he did not use; whith and argument as ashtonishing as the book has with lot of juicy parts that he coud have included. I read the book because I thought that the movie was really great, when i finished after two days of intense reading i watched the movie again and i couldn´t see more connection with the book than the names of the characters and the main idea. Despite the fact that the movie has a lot to be jelaouse from the book, it is not a bad film is just that after you read the book you don´t see where the movie came from.",6 "I have seen this show over 7 times since I was a child. It has been amazing every single time and will always be my favorite show of all time. It is so beautifully written and so mesmerizing. The combination of so many cultures makes it incredible to watch. The character development seen in some major characters is unrivaled by any other work I have seen. This show can impress a person of any age, may they be a child or a full grown adult. I can think of countless reasons why this show is amazing, but for the sake of time, I'll end it here.",10 Wow....this series was so hyped up...And failed spectaculary. I rather listen to golf on radio then to watch this show. You gotto be a special kind of bored to find this show funny or interesting enough to spend 5 min watching this. Boring....!!!!!,2 "Easily one of the best comic book adaptations to date on TV or the Big Screen. Well written, for the most part nicely paced and solid acting make Daredevil well worth your time.",9 Solid flick but not an 8.5. Currently outranking films such as Lion King and Gladiator.,3 "Uhmmmmm... Not expecting the events turn into such madness. Sad, but it will teach you a lot of lesson.",5 I had been looking forward to this show ever since i learned of its release and what a let down it was. nothing redeemable about this show what so ever. not funny in the slightest and the canned laughter is really annoying. granted i only watched 2 episodes but boy it was bad. seems you can polish any old turd if you put marvel in front of it.,6 "I really enjoyed the first Venom, it had a good balance of action, comedy and suspense. So I was really looking forward to the sequel. Now, I know sequels are notoriously difficult, they usually need to surpass the first to be really noteworthy, and this one objectively almost had it, but kinda missed the mark. I think the problem was it was trying to concentrate on too many plots at the same time. His relationship with Venom, his relationship with Michelle Williams' character, then her relationship with her fiance, the back story of the antagonist, the antagonists girlfriend, the present danger. It just felt kinda diluted because it didn't have the time to develop any of these enough to get you properly invested. So I watched the movie sort of wondering which was the part that was important? And it did become confusing. It sort of felt like the writers knew the whole story, then wrote the screenplay assuming the audience knew what they did. Don't get me wrong, it was still enjoyable, just a little disappointing.",7 "Screenplay, cinematography, character selection, story telling and direction at a new high with this Anurag Kashyap artwork. After a long long time (of course excluding the likes of Shyam Benegal, Meera Nair only to name a few), here is a director who has produced something wonderful out of small but brutal village incidents . The actors simply seem to fit perfectly into the roles been offered. Every actor has done justice to the character he portrays (except the character Ramadhir Singh who lacks the intensity as a villain I would say). No exotic locations, no overtly or skimpily dressed stars, no so called ""superstars"", this movie is a sure treat to watch i.e. of course of your above 18. We Indians and of course the stars should come out of their mindsets of making ""blockbusters"" which in most cases make least or no sense to the viewers. This movie is bound to linger in the minds of masses for a long time. Rating: Casting-10, Direction-8,Dialogue-9,Screenplay-9, Plot-9. Overall:9. Eagerly waiting for the 2nd part to hit the screens!",9 "The series is just a tired knock-off of The Boys. So far (4 episodes) a boring story with a mediocre cast. Even the setting as such (school/university) may interest younger people, but older viewers? Through a few rare obscenities, the series tries to be something special, but obscenities are not the only thing that makes The Boys. The Boys puts a lot of emphasis on the characters' idiosyncrasies and subsequent appropriate interactions, and that is almost completely missing here. The roles are basically quite interchangeable and not very special. We'll see how this develops, but I'm on the verge of not watching the series any more.",6 "Ugh...well, just finished the three hour tour. The first half was disappointing waiting for Tarantino to begin his signature blood bath. Finally when the killing began, the two senior couples out on a double date were aghast, perhaps they weren't familiar with Quentin's previous movies. Will I watch this one again? Probably not. It doesn't come close to 'Inglorious;, 'Pulp Fiction' nor 'Hateful Eight' - all of which I've seen countless times and will continue to watch in the future.",3 "I enjoyed this series very much. It really shows how much of an impact you can make on someones life, good/bad, small/big. I think that suicide can be a hard topic for some youth and even adults to talk about and 13 Reasons Why is able to make it easier for kids to understand. I really like how it is structured with the episodes as each tape. Also how Clay has a cut on his forehead to make it easier to show the past and present scenes. However, without reading the book or the summary I think that maybe some kids could get bored just watching the first episode. It is definitely a great read/watch though. It really hits you that this world needs to be more careful on what they say and do. You may not know it but the nicest and quietest people can be the ones that are hurting the most.",9 "Saw Henry Cavill in Cast and figured it can't be that bad, sadly it is. The ratings for this make no sense at all, if the posters had actually watched it. Some truly awful acting, including Cavill himself. But that so many of the main characters are cardboard stiff is disappointing, don't get me started on the accents. Actions scenes are OK, scenery decent enough. Shame really because the storyline could offer a much better product, but sadly what was delivered doesn't come close...",4 "Man oh man, these superhero movies don't thrill me at all. I fell asleep when I went to see Age of Ultron in downtown LA, Deadpool seemed like the worst movie I'd seen in ages and then there is this. It seemed like the exact same thing to me. Same plot devices, same structure, same plot twists, same characters, same dialogue, same action sequences. There was no freshness, not creativity at all. When the protagonists came face to face in the airport-scene, it seemed like a ballet. It seemed cool, but a little silly and very staged. This movie lacked urgency, it lacked sharp plotting and creative action set pieces. While watching the movie, I was thinking about whether there had been superhero movie that had that, superhero movies that were fresh and sharp. And I started reminiscing, while watching this movie, about movies like Xmen (2000), Spiderman (2002), Kick-Ass and The Avengers. Movies that had a sense or urgency, were fresh and sharp. Between them there are dozens of movies that are lazy and boring. And this is one of them.",6 "The interesting parts of the movie are the picture and the costumes.The film score is severely overrated. The script is predictable. Some of the characters are really flat - either good or bad. The little details such as candies or silent husband created to make the characters alive, do just the opposite thing - highlight the factitious nature of the characters. The meaning is dully obvious - different shape of love and people. Do not need to make $20M movie to say that! If you want a really nice movie about similar story - watch the old soviet film called Amphibian Man. There you will find an interesting caracters, true love and solid, dramatic script!",5 "How is Dunkirk getting so many raving, positive reviews when it is such a lousy film? The reviews are mostly from Europeans with a blind pride or they have an emotional attachment to the actual battle. Also, the director is from England. You see if this movie fails, which it should, England's pride will take a hit (the home of James Bond, the Queen and all that royalty bs). My HONEST review of ""Dunkirk""...I say ""honest"" because there is just no way that someone could give an honest review of this movie without saying something negative about it. I knew in the first 5-minutes that it was a turkey. Honestly, it was almost laughable from the start. The acting, the editing, the corny captions, the predictability, the audio, the video....it was all close to laughable. Dunkirk today is a tourist resort and Nolan filmed the beach scenes on the beach in Dunkirk. Imagine taking a modern day beach town and filming a war movie set in the 1940's on that beach. Laughable. I know you are going to ignore my review, because of the unbelievable reviews it is getting, but you will REGRET IT. I cannot and will not lie to you, ""Dunkirk"" is a stupidly bad movie that absolutely DOES NOT deserve the good reviews it is getting.",2 "Do I think it's a waste of time? Yes. Does my brain hurt after this? Yes. The VFX is AMAZING, so I guess here's 5 stars, which is below average if you think about it. This is such a cis white male's messiah complex (maybe less so than the first movie), but there do be one point that makes the series unique: humankind, in general, is the actual (one dimensional flat) villian here. Genuine kudos to James Cameron for being brave enough to do this in front of an earth full of human. But this also puzzles me, in the sense that the hero of the movie, being an avatar, is essentially an immigrant on Pandora that fully outgrowed his past identity as a human. Even though this is purely fictional, people would inevitably think of its real-life parallel. And if you stare at this parallel long enough, you will start to feel uncomfortable about what potential messages the movie might carry. Here are some notes I made during my first (and only) watch:",4 Venom: Let There Be Carnage: This awkward mesh of questionable CGI and a take-it-or-leave-it screenplay all comes together to form a movie about as forgettable as its predecessor.,4 "Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a reboot film that carries with it years of past cinema glory and classic status, plus some big names. Although I didn't hate this one of the franchise, I didn't think it was too great. I found it was just TOO much like the follow up to the second film and never really got into any stride or did things differently, in the end it ends up tiredly predictable. It by far though isn't all bad and I felt it was strongly OK, and here bellows is why I thought so. The story is a fairly dull one, as said it was needed to begin the franchise and in a sense show you how it all began but it could have been done better than it was. I enjoyed some of the scenes and toward the end the thrills of the movie really pick up and you can enjoy yourself. I also liked the format it is done in, and the plot is well thought out to say this isn't people of actual science writing this all down. The main performance and most memorable from this is Andy Serkis as Caesar the ape, the motion capture technology used in the film for all the apes is magnificent and Serkis in his performance is even better. James Franco does OK in the film, he doesn't ever get really into it but handles the role well enough. Freida Pinto is pretty much the same story and she also handles well but never takes the film as her own. I liked the supporting cast including the apes and the entire thing is acted well by pretty much everyone. Rupert Wyatt directs the film fairly well and really does make his mark in cinema with this. His guiding hand is one that is of extra importance seeing as he has to say where the apes run and jump etc and all the other things a director does on top. Script isn't the tightest I have ever seen but written OK and some words we so often see in epic movie scenes and chosen well. I wasn't actually too keen on the effects used, not the best and could have been possibly used less but they are good for a first in a series. The main criticism comes from basically the point of ""it could have been much better"", nothing is bad here but the story Is just to boring at times and a real kick in the middle of the film would have greatly improved the viewers enjoyment watching this. Things like the script and acting, also could have been better but I will leave it alone and not pick to much at it, after all it turns out OK. If you enjoyed the original Planet of the Apes series and knew about it at least then this could be even more enjoyable, It is showing the birth of then what happens in the originals so they may be more interested if they have viewed it before. If you want a lot of action and thrilling scenes then this lacks it and is one big reason it isn't so much as good, I felt some more fighting could have raised heart beats and more daring scenes also could have had the same effect. Overall it is Strongly an OK movie and never is at danger of falling a long way down, but neither rising to the movie greats. My review may seemed very negative of the film but I generally recommend watching it as it is interesting, and also if not just for seeing it to then see it's sequel afterwards, it is very important you watch this one if you are planning to then see the next, big plot points and establishing characters here.",6 "Can't stand the people that watched 2 or 3 episodes and then wrote a review, just watch it all. Selena fits the role, people are just biased by Disney actors hate just like they hate Zendaya and others. I'm 20 and Steve Martin and Martin Short are actors I enjoy seeing so idk what people questioning what age group is this show aimed at are talking about. It's for everyone young, old and older! Just watch, it's fun!",10 I would give it 0 if i can but sadly these bought reviews will keep it above 1. UNfunny UNintelligent and just simply not worthy of a marvel movie/show.,1 "This has everything a sci-fi fan would want, great music, adventure, cool tech, really good writing and acting. Definitely going to watch the series again, and hope that some how season 3 isn't the end of it, want more.",9 "When I first laid my eyes on this show, to be frank it was a bit dull. Slow start, no hard kicking scenes or any special moment. However, with time it has progressed to a whole new level. The show has proved to be more impressive by creation story arcs that always show us something new. Even if it beats around one source in the cannon, it is able to create different sequences making every episode cool. I don't know what u expect from this show. It is not a super hero movie filled with only action scenes. Here it deals with content, analysing and critical thinking. The cast haven't been bad either. They are firm and cool. It has some good lines too. I also love the actions scenes . Agents of shield action scenes conform with even modern super hero movie trends.",10 "The first fantasy show we have seen told through a feminie gaze. We have a renewed fanship towards Henry Caville. He did a good portrayal of Geralt of Rivia's gravitas and slightly comedic character. Mages, are complex characters that give me chills, monsters, dragons and more. Best parts are the bad feminie characters that have no shame in kicking ass. Destiny awaits you. -Geekettes Chat on Youtube",7 "I watched until the end, hoping for some answers to what was happening. Total waste of time. I like Sandra Bullock, but honestly the story just wasn't good. I'm glad that my time was all it cost me to watch.",1 "This is just my opinion though I don't expect anyone to agree.Let me begin by saying I don't believe in critics tearing apart movies that so much money and effort has gone into. And kudos to Leonardo DiCaprio who I think is a great actor and who can portray a wide range of human pathos, qualities and characters. I love his movies. Having said that, as a classicist, something in me dies at the reality of this great book being re-done again. It shouldn't have been done. I see hugely different opinions and perceptions here and I accept all of them, but I would be re-miss and disloyal to not state here that Robert Redford and Mia Farrow just ARE Gatsby and Daisy, to my mind, and there could be no other. They should have been left to stand forever in our memories, like Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh.You may want to see this Baz Luhrmann rendition just to see it, but seriously,then go back and look at the exquisite beauty and subtly of Redford/Farrow and Sam Waterston; these beautiful and subtle actors of such brilliance and depth! It's beside the point which movie was truest to the novel. Rather, which was more subtly beautiful in rendering that aching, longing feeling of Gatsby and Daisy, and the similarly aching, longing dreaming quality of all the music and sounds and feeling of the 20's? Do you need hundreds of dancers for that? Go back and look at it:the brilliance of every moment and every drunken actor in the great party;Gatsby(Redford)in his uniform dancing with Daisy to the scratchy music; the long, sweaty aching moments of togetherness and longing looks; the utter shallowness and confusion of Daisy(Mia Farrow); the intrigue and beauty of Jordan Baker ; the manic despair of George Wilson;the sweaty slimeyness of his wife (Isla Fisher was too sweet!) and the goodness and utter disbelief and helplessness of Carraway (Waterston).These were great actors and every one of them, especially Redford, deserved an Oscar for their performance. Luhrmann's film is entertaining, but all the beauty and subtly is gone and ruined the memory of what to me is a classic. Will we ever forget Clark Gable's stunning slicked-back hair, necktie and suit and ""Frankly, I don't give a damn?"" Well the memory of the sheer beauty and ethereal quality of Redford in his white suit, appearing amongst all those roses in the cottage, should have been left untainted ,for all time, longing,longing.Finally, if Carey Mulligan is ever asked to play Scarlett O'Hara, please, think twice: Don't.",2 "This was a first time watch for me. I grew up rotating the same few mafia movies my father watched like, The Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface, and A Bronx Tale. But I never saw this in his collection. But I always heard this was one of the best movies of all time and wanted to give it a watch myself even if my father never kept it in his rotation. After seeing it I understand why it was not in rotation, because this is not a rewatch all the time type of films. That doesn't mean that it is a bad film at all. It's just a long and well thought out film. Just like it's predecessor, the casting is perfect and the Italian everyday lifestyle representation is amazing. The only thing I didn't like was the switching between the past and present. It sometimes made it hard to remember where the story was at when you switched back.",8 "Just wow. Speechless. Acting, music, screenplay all perfect. Masterpiece!",10 "Terrible movie, poor plot.Daniel Craig seriously miscast.And his accent, awful. A lot of good actors on show in a woeful movie. Stick to what you're good at,and this ain't it.",2 "Surprised at the many negative reviews. I started watching yesterday and have just finished whole thing after a weekend binge. From reading reviews there appear a few swipes at the whole PC thing and strong female lead. I thought this was harsh. For me the parts were well cast, everyone gels as a family and overall it just works. In terms of plot holes and the whole unnecessary drama thing I agree. But somehow it rarely spoiled the fun of it all. Look forward to a second series and would definately recommend.",9 "I was hoping this will be better than the first one which I enjoyed mainly because of Tom Hardy's performance but unfortunately this movie is almost a copy paste of the first one. It even has the exact same villain but in red!!! Tom Hardy is still at his best and he carried the entire movie on his shoulders. Otherwise, the plot is very predictable and the villains' backstory couldn't be more cliche. Woody Harrelson didn't add much to his character but it is not his fault as the script is really bad and he couldn't save it. The movie is still enjoyable enough to watch but it is very underwhelming.",6 Cool baj SN DJ s hsbhsbhzbdix is shdhsbdudbudbdudbdudbdjndnd hdbbsjzbdb,8 "Harry Potter Fans will absolutely love this one, but there is too many ""stranger"" roles for audiences that's not this series' fan (of course I knew who that are and I was thrilled in the theater!!). However the whole movie is SLOW pace, and made many normal audience fell asleep.",7 "I was really surprised about how much i liked Ryan Gosling in this. I had totally forgot about his comedic talent and timing. The movie works. There is definitely a moral message in this, even though I believe the majority of viewers will be too distracted by Margot Robbie and Ryan Goslings great performances and all of the comedy elements in this and the fact that the script is hardly worth being filmed. I feel like with a different script they could have created something truly great. Over all it's a fun family movie to enjoy together. I watched this and afterwards Oppenheimer last night and I am truly glad I did it in that order, because I doubt that I would have been able to enjoy this even nearly as much if I had watched Oppenheimer first.",6 "The all-star cast rivals the ever-growing ensembles of Wes Anderson, and all involved give terrific performances full of spirit and personality. Filmmaker David O. Russell has made some noteworthy, well regarded films. Everyone behind the scenes turned in outstanding work across the board: sharp costume design, impeccable hair and makeup, crisp cinematography and editing, excellent stunts and effects, rich art direction, fine props, and so on and so on. The dialogue is witty, the characters are weird, the scene writing is wacky, and the story is, in turn, well-written, wild, wise, and/or worldly. And unfortunately, none of it impresses nearly as much as it's supposed to. 'Amsterdam' is very well made, there are some cutting ideas in the plot, and this even earns some laughs, but far more than not these 134 minutes come off as little more than a lot of hot air. From the moment it begins there's an overwhelming sense of falseness to the proceedings; this sense will not change, and it will come to pervade most every facet of the production. Every time one of the many, many big-name stars comes into a scene, and especially when they appear for the first time, they are framed, or the camera zooms in on them, in a manner that's meant to pointlessly accentuate their celebrity (e.g., ""Hey! Look who it is!""). Under Russell's guidance the cinematography is also, generally, often tawdrily grandiose, such as when the camera sweeps up from a low angle to look at Margot Robbie - not because the moment is dramatic, but specifically just because the inclusion is meant to wow us. For as unquestionably superb as the acting is, and for all the cleverness of the writing, far too much of that cleverness, and the actors' animated portrayals, come off in context as empty quirkiness and boisterousness for its own sake (e.g., ""Hey! Look how silly this is!""). It also takes the better part of one hour for the picture to feel like it's finding its feet, yet at the same time, the narrative and scene writing result in plot development that's a tad sideways, caring about that Gee Golly quirkiness as much as the story on hand. Even the production values, meeting the highest standards of live-action cinema in the 2020s, are actually kind of a problem; the utmost vividness of the image quality, and of every little detail, is a little too perfect. Speaking of ""a little too perfect,"" the even tone and level-headed verbiage of Christian Bale's narration serves to flatten the vibrancy the feature should carry; consider a preteen child telling a scary story with the undeveloped, matter-of-fact, Just So storytelling sensibility of ""This happened. And then this happened. Next, this happened."" Much of the plot draws from notions that are all too real - the collusion of capitalist interests, the wealthy and powerful, and those with significant ties in society or government and/or the military; conspiracies to dominate, subjugate, oppress, and install fascist leaders; manipulation, gaslighting, propaganda, and the weaponization of medicine - and urgent, admirable themes of diversity, acceptance of minorities and the marginalized, justice, equality, the pursuit of truth, actively fighting authoritarians, and more. All of this was relevant to the period in question, and remains despairingly, desperately relevant in 2023. Yet too much else about 'Amsterdam' either countermands that substance, or treats it too lightly, or distracts from it: that Gee Golly quirkiness, the most raucous sequences, the utmost perfection of most elements; the most whimsical aspects of the art direction, the exceptional performances that under Russell's direction threaten to become their own story rather than to serve the one being told, the prevailing light tenor; the pointed repetition of key words or phrases (""Amsterdam,"" ""Committee of Five"") like they were the Word of the Day in an episode of 'Pee-Wee's Playhouse'; and more. Everything looks and sounds great in and of itself. I'm a big fan of many of the cast members, and from one to the next I don't know whose performance is stronger. Between Russell's writing and direction, however, the impression that 'Amsterdam' makes is of a movie that wants to emphasize how smart it is, and how well made it is, and how many stars it has, and just how ridiculous its most ridiculous parts are - rather than how important, meaningful, and worthy the narrative is. This title is so self-important that it wants to point to all its ""Gee whiz!"" factors as its attractants and its strength rather than the earnest substance it has to offer, or the earnest hard work that everyone put into it. We know that Russell can be a great filmmaker. While I haven't watched it in some time, I fell in love with 'I heart Huckabees' from the first time I saw it. Sadly, despite all that it serves up and all that it could and should have been, this 2022 flick just doesn't make the grade, and I think that comes back entirely to Russell. The cast and crew deserved a better film; this should have been that better film. I don't abjectly dislike it, but it feels like no more than half of a whole, and the half that's missing includes the heart and integrity. I'm glad for those who appreciate 'Amsterdam' more than I do, but as far as I'm concerned it's no wonder that this came and went last year with so little fanfare. Better luck next time, everyone.",5 "The show and original comic offered deep critiques of American corporate capitalism as a vehicle to subvert the concept of a superhero. Well done. Do Americans nevertheless also see how that equally speaks to American corporate news AND to Hollywood/TV film productions - including this very show? The unrelenting effort to propagandize to the viewers, to misrepresent the underlying interests of the content producers, and the vitriolic hatred espoused by those who profess to be tolerant (to ""go high when they go low"")? Look how the writers and producers co-opted the original comic to advance a 2020 election agenda (and to flagrantly demonize ""the other""). Now that ""order has been restored"" in American politics, will the writers and producers allow the comic book story to return to the surface? Will they continue to use it as a cheap veneer to keep telling the rest of the world how to live and structure our societies, just as their national government does?",4 It was not as much as the first part. I was eagerly waiting for any twist in the film but it does not. A little disappointment for me as it was made a sequel to great film. Good screenplay and actors done well.,9 "This movie tells the story of a scam gone wrong, because of the incompetence of its protagonists. This film is about its characters inability of people to communicate and humanity's greatest vice, a constant desire for more money. A great shot in this film was the extended close-up of her melancholic face after discovering the extent of Mike's lies. This is also when she becomes disillusioned with people, and this only increases as she comes to a face to face later in the movie. This movie is also about more than just people and humanity, its also about violence and how far would someone go for money. The value of life is strongly seen in this movie. The cutting style in this movie is definitely one to be remembered at its tranquility and detailed way of placing these pieces together just right in the film.",7 "Have you ever been to a magic show and been so amazed at the feats being performed that you absolutely must know how it was done? Remember the crushing feeling of disappointment as it is revealed that the trick is nothing more than smoke and mirrors? You will experience a very similar feeling after watching Now You See Me. Louis Leterrier's 2013 thriller follows Jesse Eisenberg and his band of magicians known as The Four Horsemen, as they perform audacious crimes disguised as tricks, all whilst being followed by Mark Ruffalo's FBI agent. It all starts off very promising, as the horsemen rob a bank in Paris from their stage in Las Vegas leading to a cat and mouse chase in which we are not quite sure who is the cat and who is the mouse. Leterrier adopts a fast paced, dynamic style throughout the movie, meaning we never really have a chance to get to know the characters or their motivations. There are a few action set pieces which, whilst impressive, feel slightly out of place. We are asked to suspend disbelief a little too much, as we see this band of magicians using fighting skills more commonly associated with Jason Bourne. But perhaps the biggest issue with Now You See Me is the lack of character development. Despite gathering a cast which includes Micheal Caine, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson and Mark Ruffalo, the movie never really explores these characters, they are merely tools used to enhance the story which isn't strong enough. As the movie progresses, a feeling of disappointment begins to seep through. The running theme of misdirection often leaves the viewer unsure of anything that is happening and you find yourself second guessing every plot turn. This wouldn't be a problem if the movie had a satisfying resolution but, unfortunately, this does not prove to be the case. Answers often fall flat, plot twists feel predictable and by the time you reach the end, you realise that it is nowhere near as clever as it would have you believe. Much like a magic trick.",5 Enjoyed watching #aspirants a pleasing story which is well executed and well acted. Trust TVF to never disappoint in these type of shows.,7 "Expats is an interesting mix of The Leftovers (for its meditations on grief/loss) and Big Little Lies (for its ""rich miserable people"" themes). While the series does from time to time fulfill those lofty ambitions, it doesn't do so frequently enough to truly be considered great. For a very basic overview, Expats follow the exploits of three women living in Hong Kong but originally from the United States (hence the title). Margaret (Nicole Kidman) is undergoing a severe family tragedy regarding a missing child. Hilary (Sarayu Blue) seemingly has it all--career, style, beauty--but struggles with any sort of home/family life outside of her job, especially as it pertains to David (Jack Huston). Mercy (Ji-young Yoo) is a young woman torn between her teenaged Hong Kong adventures and more serious dalliances with older men and the local protest scene (of which she wants to be a part of). As the series progresses through its six episodes, these three characters converge in often-unexpected ways. There are times when Expats hits the very heights of prestige TV drama. Certain scenes and character interactions will have you absolutely rapt and thinking deeply about your own life through the compelling arcs. I was especially drawn to the Hilary character, but each angle has its heights to be sure. Series creator Lulu Wang also takes risks--like a feature-length (1:40.00) episode almost exclusively devoted to Hong Kong's domestic help industry. It certainly isn't a show afraid of ""big swings"". Now, do those prodigious hacks always produce solid contact? Not necessarily. The first episode can be a little overwhelming until the groundwork is laid, and it crams a lot of serious topics into its scant six-episode run. All the character resolutions may not be everyone's cup of tea, either. Somewhat oddly, this is a series that--at least for me--was a little less than the sum of its parts. In other words, my individual episode rankings slightly outpaced what I ultimately thought of the season as a whole. That is truly the best way I can describe my experience watching Expats. Each episode had enough highly emotional or deeply thought-provoking moments to never be boring or outright poor, but in the grand scheme of things I didn't feel like it added up to much. A solid watch for those who enjoy deeper fare--but perhaps not one that will rocket to the top of best-of lists.",7 "This remake manages to suck all the life out of the original. It really is like watching National Geographic while hearing The Lion King (1994) on in the other room. There is a total disconnect between what you are seeing on-screen and what you are hearing or supposed to feel-so much that I am surprised this was not noticed early on and left on the cutting room floor. Baloo in Favreau's The Jungle Book (2016) alone should have been a warning sign. At its best, the soundtrack is only as good as the original. I was waiting out for Beyoncé and Donald Glover hoping maybe they would save it with charm, humor, or chemistry, but Beyoncé oversings/overacts and Glover's few moments just aren't enough. John Oliver does steal his scenes as Zazu and I'm a fan of Scar's character design. Visual effects are extremely well done, but for a production that looks so true-to-life, most of the film is lifeless. Very disappointed.",4 "Without the classiness of Evil Under the Sun, without the slicked-back elegance of Murder on the Orient Express (1974, Albert Finney, thank you), without the slapsticks of Clue, without the wryly wrought gesticulations of Columbo, and without, in reasonable estimation, any further need for a fresh take on the genre of murder-mystery movies, Rian Johnson has, in a generally self-aggrandizing way, assembled a star-studded cast of loathsome characters to act out farcical intrigue crossing the finish line through a crisp 130 minutes of obfuscation-cum-revelation, or maybe it was all just Quentin Tarantino's tenth film? Although that all sounds positive, and Christopher Plummer continues to prove he can command the screen despite never having been in a Star Wars movie, something which neither Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness, nor Max von Sydow can add to their resumes, one cannot help but question the choice of Daniel Craig as a southern gentleman with folksy dialogue and an almost laughable attempt at a Texas drawl. A lot of laughs were left on the table by not imbuing the main detective with funnier features. Imagine a French (or perhaps, Flemish) accent, a monocle, a lazy eye, a large gut, a handlebar mustache, jet-black and slicked-back hair under a hairnet, a double limp, two humps, and some pocket watches which are never accurate unless you want to know what time it is in Flanders. It was a very good choice to have Chris Evans wear civilian clothes, however.",6 "I was really looking forward to the HOTD, as having watched GOT and never having previously enjoyed a fantasy based show before. However I am on episode 7 and so far nothing has happened that would compel me to watch any more. If I do it will be because it is so poor it is hard to believe and of course its human nature to live in hope. None of the characters are compelling, they seem to have employed the most uncharismatic of actors, which is a shame as the likes of Rees Ifans is known for his ability to make an impact on screen, be it film or video. The script is turgid and trite, something a child could have written. There is precious little intrigue or characterisation as was so prevalent in GOT. Most annoyingly though is the lack of continuity. For example and without giving anything away a band of prisoners is recruited and undergo having their tongues removed. We then cut to seeing them laying a potential ambush - nothing occurs. We then see an associated fire - nothing happens. They then enter the building - nothing happens. And so why we saw them recruited in the first place as they did precisely nothing is symptomatic of the series so far. So I am also a prisoner of sticking with this but looking for an escape and living in hope things improve.",3 "Sorry, I couldn't resist the play on Matthew Goode's name. I think his performance is one of my favorite aspects of this series. He knows it's cheesy fare wrapped up with good production value (for the most part), ""dark academia"" cred and a bit of history, but he doesn't phone it in. He smolders just enough, buys into the character, but always manages to rein it in to the point of making his character worth taking (somewhat) seriously. A friend recommended this to me, and after watching a few episodes with my husband (who likes it well enough) I texted her saying it was like ""Twilight"" for adults. I'm not embarrassed to watch it, but I still know there are aspects of it that are embarrassing. The settings are enticing, the performances overall strong, and the historic Easter Eggs (especially about the persecuted 17th century American ""witches"") very fun. Lots of beautiful people....including Teresa Palmer as Diana Bishop. She's problematic. She lovely, and sometimes delivers that combination of vulnerability and power that the character needs. But she's uneven and lacks conviction and confidence. I like her, but I would like to like her more. She's a green actress and it shows. Overall, I think of this series as a kind of mashup of ""Outlander,"" ""Twilight"" and some obscure Book Club read about academic women discovering their witchy selves. It's fun and engaging, but it's not brilliant.",7 "None of the actors or actresses were needed for this film. The story/plot was bad a$$, standing on it's own. A slasher film without killings wouldn't make much sense. A disney film with out a hero to love, feel bad for or cheer for wouldn't fit the Disney brand. That is what this movie was missing - nudity (male or female). Why would the line not be pushed..... Instead duck, cover -run. Dont watch this ......",3 "Don't believe the hype guys, I'm afraid that you may be disappointed with this one. If you're a Batman aficionado then I'm pretty sure that you'll be happy with this but if like me you aren't especially interested in the super-hero genre and just want to watch a good film you'd do best to opt for something else. The plot starts well enough, it seems as if Nolan is trying to inject some realism into the Batman character but soon enough you see the futility in those attempts and by the end it's clear that Nolan has given up on his original designs, FACT: you can't make a serious movie out of comic book characters, on the evidence of this movie at least this would seem to be true. Christian Bale turns in a decent performance but his best scenes are those as Bruce Wayne the playboy, they evoked aspects of his performance from American Psycho and were a joy to watch (although perhaps not for the reasons intended). As Batman he was competent but never exciting, I would say that he was better than Clooney and Keaton but perhaps just behind Kilmer overall. The direction was interesting in parts and was certainly superior to the other Batman films (namely Burton and Schumacher's). However we never really saw Nolan at his best as it felt as if he was constrained by the source material at hand. Overall an average film, not good, not bad, just average. Watch if you're short on options.",6 The depiction of everyday and backstage situations through the use of super advanced technology of the future.,9 "As a Tarantino fan, I am not opposed to fun in my movies. What sometimes people mistake for ""style over substance"" is often just creative filmmaking that sticks out because it is disrupting the casual way we watch movies and how we rely on predictable beats to follow along. However! This film is so indulgent. Lame jokes, lazy characterization and so many storytelling redundancies. I am not one of those people that groans at a movies runtime. But this film does not have a story deserving of 140 minutes! I do believe there is a much more palatable movie hidden somewhere in the middle of this marathon. Johnson claims to want each subsequent Knives Out film to be completely unique. New characters, setting, theme, etc. But he seems married to the 2.5 hour movie despite it not serving the story in this case. There is still a lot to like. Especially Daniel Craig, (who was under utilized). But I was definitely disappointed after a strong original production last time around.",5 "How can you start talking about a movie like ""Forrest Gump"" without being bias on the whole hype that has been surrounding it since it came out. For someone who actually knows about films, it is a personal insult that the Academy Awards considered this movie to be in higher standards than... Pulp Fiction The Shawshank Redemption Quiz Show and even Four Weddings and a Funeral and how could Robert Zemeckis' (I hate that name) work be considered better than... Krzysztof Kieslowski for RED!!!!!!!!!!! Quentin Tarantino for PULP FICTION!!!!!! Woody Allen for BULLETS OVER BROADWAY!!!!!! Robert Redford for QUIZ SHOW!!!!!!! Not to mention that the Academy is such an airhead that Frank Darabont the director of The Shawshank Redemption wasn't even nominated!!!!!! Let's consider MANY important factors for this movie to be loved blindly, without a true sense of reflection and observation. Number 1: I have to much time on my hands, Number 2: It stars Tom Hanks who undoubtedly represents the white, flawless way of American Life. He is the Jimmy Stewart of today (that could not hurt). He is talented, but highly overrated. He has some excellent performances, but he always seems the same to me. He could never have the talent that actors like Gary Oldman, Ed Harris, Sean Penn, Russell Crowe or Denzel Washington have to reinvent themselves every time in a different role. He is the typical American male sweetheart, regardless everybody loves him. His star power more than his ability as an actor helped this movie to get sold and appreciated. Number 3: Stories about characters with disabilities always, and I mean always sell in Hollywood (Rainman, I am Sam, Nell, My Left Foot, Awakenings, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) not that I am saying that these great films compare to Forrest Gump, but the idea itself whether good or bad sells. Number 4: The history of the United States is taken rather lightly in this movie, all the events that take place around the character happen without his knowledge in the most unconvincing of methods. Racism, Vietnam, meeting a number of American Presidents, his unheard speech at Lincoln Memorial, the hippies, drugs, Bubba Gump shrimp, apple computers, amongst other historic events in which the character gets involved, but does not seem to grasp the magnitude of those very events. He is mentally handicaped as we are shown from the beginning, so because we are suppose to believe that he is emotionally handicap too. He never seems to get emotionally affected by anything, unless it involves Jenny, even then it does not appear to be convincing or moving in any way. Number 5: The story itself appears to me as manipulative, sappy, uncompromised and made in half measures. It touches certain issues, but never dwells on them with justice. The ingenuity of the character, his disability seems enough reason to feel that all the events are seen with a certain depth. Which they are not. It is unfair, because Hanks' charm and Gump's likeable stupidity work as a hook to entangle people's emotions. It never allows for anyone to make an effort to see beyond the story and into the gut of what was attempted to be said. Number 6: Stupid moments, everybody loves them, Hollywood is an expert of what people like and what they want to spend their money on. Gump begins a ""marathon"" across the country for no real reason at all, half way decides he's had enough, by then the entire country was following him (as a metaphor for the movie itself). Elvis Presley the King or Rock ends up as a youngster, who knows how, in Gump's house as a visitor. Gump who has braces in his legs miraclously teaches him the dance moves that made him famous. Something that I personally cannot consider to be taken lightly is an issue like the Vietnam War, but Forrest somehow manages to run in and out the jungle in the middle war saving people left and right. Maybe Zemeckis never read a book or even watched a film (Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Casualties of War) to illustrate him on what really happened on that war. Young soldiers were getting killed by the dozen. Forrest Gump is a fairy tale based on unfounded grounds and hypocritical notions of ""reality"". Oliver Stone dedicated his film Platoon to the American soldiers in Vietnam, he went there for real and saw what happened. Zemeckis has decided to ignore all these factors and still believe that his adored character could even be immune to a experience like Vietnam (in every aspect possible). To conclude please do not let yourself be manipulated, not just because Forrest Gump won the oscar for Best Picture makes it one of the best films of the 90's. The ""sweetness"" of this movie is not even sweet, its only the a ploy, a sales pitch of the American Dream. In 20 years who will remember Forrest Gump, and more importantly who will remember that film when The Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction are still in people's memories for real reasons. They are art films, Forrest Gump the oscar's favorite. And seriously folks if you haven't seen Kieslowski's RED run over to blockbuster and rent it. Its the end of the Color Trilogy. Then you'll know what we mean. thank you. VIVA EL CINE!!!!",2 "This gets a two because the first two episodes were good. After that, it became a whole lot of nothing. Which is more than frustrating because you just keep waiting for the story to come together but it never does. Production value also fell as the episodes progressed. You can actually feel the actors, the crew and the post-production team lose interest as the series moved tiresomely to the next episode. This being a HBO production it never actually looked shabby, but the last episode felt like it was something of an after thought. How many of us can remain 'sane' when confronted with proof of otherworldly beings? Do you really just go back to that suburban life of tending the garden and backyard barbecues? This is my biggest peeve with this miniseries. If there is any evidence of a supernatural occurrence, would that not be far more important than pursuing whatever crime, however heinous it maybe? And having discovered this mind blowing, earth shattering truth, why would disparate individuals work as a group to cover it up? There could have been a story here but the people at HBO have lost their mojo. Success dulls the edge and it seems that they can no longer cut it.",2 "Not worth watching. Too much violence to be a comedy (unless you are a masochist). Maybe some of the humour was over our antipodean heads, but what was with the the heavily overplayed ""Yaah"" for yes? Is it some kind of in joke about a local US dialect? The best thing in the movie were two of the actors, the switched on female police chief and the poker faced American Indian mechanic. The movie plays on the old theme of some loser who fails at everything, but it is too nasty to be funny, too slow to be an action movie and too depressing to be entertaining. Spend your time and money elsewhere!",3 "Both of the points I gave to this show belong to season 1. Season 1 is fun, we'll paced, and had good action. It's not brilliant or anything, but it's a solid 7/10. The other two seasons are worthless. And I'm probably not even going to update this review once Season 4 comes out because season 3 was so bad that I have no motivation to watch this show anymore. Seasons 2 and 3 blatantly reuse plot points and character arcs from season 1 on top of introducing new cardboard cutouts of characters and ramping the ""lol so random"" humor up to 11. The reason I said this show can't get over how cool it thinks it is is because it's full of so many montages and so much slow motion that it just gets irritating. It worked in season 1 because season 1 was fun and the writing was decent. It's a similar experience to a Zack Snyder movie where the style would be a lot easier to appreciate if what you are watching had good writing. If you want a good, stylish superhero show then watch Daredevil or watch the movie Kick-Ass. Those are much, much better.",2 "Well written series which pulls you in , once you start it'll be ""binge watched"" in a day",8 Season 1 and 2 were good season3 not bad but season 4 I'm fast forwarding. Ani character annoying. Show just keeps showing how kids do what they want and there are no consequences. If there's a season 5 No way will I be watching. Waste of time!!!,3 "Bodygiard is an enjoyable thriller, with tones of action scenes and twists. I can't say that the story swept me off my feet, though the first episode was very intense. The last one was the highlight and a nerve wracking conclusion, with more suspense than the rest of the episodes. The performances were really good as well. Another thing that took me by surprise was that the drama didn't shy out from making the hard choices, like killing one of the main characters. So, overall, 8 out of 10.",8 "This film is a mighty fun 90 minutes. The plot: a band of hatchet-wielding gangsters holds the city in terror. However, they leave the destitute people of the Pig Sty Alley neighborhood alone, as they have nothing worth stealing. Thsi peace ends when two ""gangsta wannabe"" bums, Sing and Bone, bumble into the slum and stir up trouble in the name of the gang. Soon the Axe Gang is locked in a battle with the paupers of Pig Sty Alley, and their bizarre and comical styles of kung fu. This film is a very good slap stick comedy. There have been parodies of kung fu movies made before, but none this good. The laughs are reinforced by some really crazy characters (most notably the ""Daughter of the Dragon"" fat chain-smoking landlady who never once throughout the movie removes the curlers from her hair). The film is full of references to all kinds of other films, ranging from Kubrick's ""The Shining"" to the Looney Tunes Road Runner.",8 "Brilliant series. Good juxtaposition against Marvel and DC. Just find it jarring that Billy Butcher accent is all over the place and definably not English. Is his accent what the American producers think we speak like in England, Ant wait for series 4.",9 "Absolutely, real and authentic scenes. Sandeep bhaiya was bang on. SK, Guri , abhilash .. brilliant acting. But there was no need to show SKs extra tummy. Editing could have been better. Locations were very good specially roof top scenes with Sandeep. IT firm sending abhilash to dubai.... for chilling .. doesn't make sense. :) but overall plot of series make sense. ..must watch.",8 "After watching the first episode, I don't understand, I was very surprised how such a rating.",1 "I am totally disappointed with this film. Before starting the movie, Director should research the plot and the Place. Bangladesh is not that place where, the underage people carrying the Gun. This is not matter that Mr. Cris bit Bangladeshi Law enforcement fource but the costumes is not appropriate. Bangladesh is badly present in this movie.",1 The first 5 episodes were really great and we're building a good storyline but in the end's 5 episodes were like they didn't know that they will make them and just threw anything on our faces... The plot was really really bad... Everyone was just so stubborn to not hear anyone else... I mean WTH..??,4 This movie was SO overhyped and under-delivered. Once the spectacular 4.5 minute opening sequence is done it's ALL DOWNHILL! How ANYONE imagined either of the leads could sing or dance beats me! Gosling cannot sing and can barely dance. His first solo starts too low for him and to think they had the audacity to consider he was compared to Gene Kelly! As a dancer he's not fit to be mentioned in the same sentence as that extraordinary dancer! Female lead isn't much better. Don't waste precious lifetime watching this. Go a walk you'll get more out of it!,2 "As of late winter 2022, this movie actually hasn't been released in my country of Sweden yet - but I was thrilled to see it was being screened earlier as part of the annual ""Christmas wake"" in cinemas. It was a film I was very excited for. And to say the least, it lived up to my expectations and more. Spielberg gives a love letter to films that should both inspire and satisfy movie fans in equal amounts. It is such a beautiful film with incredible acting, and providing a bit of a retro American Graffiti kind of feel in some ways. It is truly a testament to Spielberg's abilities as a filmmaker and how he started his career in the first place. I would recommend it to anyone with even a remote interest in film, it is truly a masterpiece.",10 "I have never written a review before, but after reading so many conflicting reviews i had to see this to make my own mind up. I went expecting a different more intelligent Marvel but found myself almost laughing when it tried to be serious and crying when the action sequences were so underwhelming. The whole experience was disappointing, and i soooo wanted to to like it. In a nutshell the first 20 mins was good the middle hour was boring, i looked at my watch and even thought could i be bothered to stay to the end, but i did, and the last 20 mins was ok.",4 "I had high hopes for this one but it ended up painful to watch. Predictable throughout and the characters and dialogue felt way too obviously tailored to whatever Netflix' big data algorithm told them would appeal to their viewers. They might have gotten away with it had this been made as a movie, but as a series it simply falls flat.",2 "Only the final fight is good, remaining movie is all too much emotional drama for a Marvel movie.",4 "Greta Gerwig hasn't missed yet with a film but this film is her first larger budget film. Similar to The Lego Movie, this film appears to be a harmless, funny commercial with a simple message but also like The Lego Movie, great writing and performances make it a heartfelt film with strong themes and messages. The plot is fairly straightforward with our main Barbie going on a journey of self-discovery in the real world, while Ken does the same. A simple premise but well executed. The plot deals with themes such as gender, equality, the loss of childhood and the nature of growing up with such good humour and heart. I had a smile on my face the entire time. The performances are strongest from the two leads, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Both bring a lot of energy and life to Barbie and Ken, communicating the struggles of being both a man and woman and how one can't exist without the other. They have excellent chemistry and both inject their roles with great emotion. The rest of the cast are good though some felt unnecessary. Will Ferrell's CEO could have benefitted from more screen time or could've even been cut completely. Yet he is still hilarious in the scenes he is in. The set design is immaculate, Barbieland was a joy to witness. My only issue is we could've spent more time there. The score was great and the cinematography further helped with the immersion. Production-wise this film is gorgeous. The only problems are a few too many times of the film hammering it's message in to the point it can become annoying. There are also a few lines and jokes that don't land at all and seem entirely of the time. Yet, these are minor in the face that everything does right. Overall, Barbie is a lot of fun, with great comedy and a lot of heart. The leads are great, the set design is immaculate and the message is strong and positive. A fun film that I highly recommend.",8 Really failed to understand what was Anurag trying to show,1 "Basically a crap film. Don't watch it. Okay fine, IMDb rules state I can't just give you the short version of my review, so here goes. My angst with this movie began 6 months ago in seriously sexy Hong Kong. After enjoying the day molesting Chinese ladies whilst practicing my Cantonese (by which I mean I almost got date raped and robbed by a septic hooker with a fake sister) I thought, ""It would be great to finish off my run-away-with-my-wiener-still-attached-to-me day at a top notch HK cinema, at least I could chill and enjoy a good movie, right?!"" WRONG!! It seemed like the numerous Gods we squabble over these days where having a good old pissy giggle at my expense ERGO I left the cinema feeling like a used tampon – enjoying my little time in heaven's ally just before being drowned in a river of clotted filth with no escape and then being tossed into a bin full of other rotting, swollen, wailing, blood monsters! Anyone with a brain cell (or should I say a couple of neurones with synapses, axonal sheaths and working nodes of Ranvier...LOOK IT UP!) can tell you this movie was nothing more than a bully showing off his new 3D tricks whilst all the other kids looked up in awe and forgot that he was the bully and started worshiping his long shiny ____! Essentially if you pulled the £200 Armani pants off this film you'll see this movie is nothing but an America-hates-all slash one-man-saves-the-world slash blue-is-the-new-black bestiality porno!! (There's a dick joke in there somewhere...). I'm not even black and I was offended by this film. Hollywood has this theory that all otherworldly creatures are basically Bantu and Zulu tribes whilst Americans are God's chosen people (no offense Jews) to spread the human seed everywhere and in the words of our favourite shampoo commercial ""CORRUPT and go"". The story was predictable and stolen from Pocahontas, the acting was abysmal, the scenery and creature designs were all stolen from the final fantasy games, namely FFXII and the strange interspecies communion (by which I mean sex) using their stupid tails was just disturbing. I mean if I want to tame a horse I don't go and stick my knob in it do I? Finally, if I watch a 3D movie I want to be dodging and ducking from things flying at me from the screen not checking whether my thumbs still looks 3D with those stupid glasses on and then falling asleep, I can get a more entertaining 3D experience at Thorpe Park. This movie had the potential to be something great, but like any school kid told they have potential it ultimately turned out be a pitiful American war movie set in Ivalice (the FFXII world) with overgrown African Smurfs everywhere having (inter- and intraspecies) sex with their tails. After being given the dog collar of ""interesting movie"" to wear it was as though the chain was pulled harshly back about 10 minutes into the film and I was left there hanging until my neck snapped. Oh and now it's out on DVD – Lord help us... So, basically a crap film. Don't watch it.",2 "I watch a lot of films. Many are good. A few are great. Sadly, this one was barely watchable. I persisted until the end, but it actually got worse. Odd film.",4 The Movie contains high drama and involves a Spine chilling performance by SRK. Not only does he perform the role of a superstar but also performs the role of a Loving fan Gaurav. The plot revolves around love for his superstar which changes to obsession and finally hate. The chase scenes are breathtaking and the character of Gaurav goes wild in our hearts. Emotions run high as the movie reaches its end. Viewers come out of the Hall content and speechless. SRK has shown off his incredible acting skills and there is not a word the critics can say about his performance. The movie is a must see don't waste your time and watch it in a theatre near you. :),10 "The first 35 minutes was great but it all went downhill from there. Cooper didn't display the proper way to do time jumps and the pacing, dialog and entire storyline had some major issues. Their relationship felt forced and didn't allow enough development for the viewer to buy in with these two in their marriage. The only thing they ever talk about is music. I'd expect some actual real life conversations to come up once in a while but they didn't. Gaga does a nice job acting but her Botox screwed up any emotion she was sincerely trying to portray to the audience. It was truly painful to watch her try. The music scenes and concerts were done in A+ fashion but the rest of it gets a D+/C-. I really wanted to like this film but the second act really lost adequate pacing, dialog, and character development. It was just depressing to watch.",4 "I was one of the few and proud that showed up for the midnight showing of the movie of the summer last night, and I must say that I didn't see exactly what I expected to see on film. I thought the attempts at comedy were hit or miss. The misses were bad, bad misses though. It is better to be thought an idiot and keep your mouth shut than to open your mouth and prove it. I thought the action sequences were intense. I loved the villain. The Mary Jane scenes and her story in this movie were a little weird. The love story doesn't add up for a few reasons. There are a few slightly contradictory lines in the film. This film shows that she is more vulnerable even though everything in her life (outside the love department) seems to be going great. Overall, I found the film enjoyable. The score was good for the most part. There were a few nontraditional songs that I might have left out, but the film will definitely be the money movie of the year.",8 "I'm baffled.. I think most of the bad reviews are from people who have never played the game or read the book or just anybody who holds GoT on a little too high of a pedestal. Very entertaining s1 looking forward how they can bult upon this ,*edit* i don't get why people are making this a "" my show vs your show type thing..( got vs this.) Just enjoy",9 "Watch it yourself and make up your own mind! You can't please everyone. Some episodes call for a strong constitution, and there are plenty of WTF moments. Watching this I kept thinking this is what 2019 Brightburn could have arguably should have been. It's definitely not family friendly. But if want pure escapism then buckle up, because you're definitely NOT in Kansas anymore! I actually think this a 7. But I wanted to draw your attention to the point I was trying to make. Reviews are just one persons opinion and should not be read as fact. Just like a restaurant review - everyone's tastes are different.",1 "I can't believe how many good reviews this movie got on IMBD, maybe users don't want to appear low brow, even anonymously? I don't get it. It's got everything going for it, a great cast, very realistic set and costume designs, rousing 60s soundtrack and a chilling real life serial killer. And I struggled to get past the first hour. The murder scenes are extremely compelling and the juxtaposition between the killings and the 1969 setting very early on grabs you and then completely falls flat. The problem is the story has no focus, it doesn't know if it wants to be a riveting historical crime drama or a character study of the men obsessed with solving the case and it's neither. I was very excited to turn off the endless corona virus fear mongering on the news and watch an engrossing true crime thriller. Now its back to the Corona Virus Show!",2 "The first two seasons were just perfect. The third season was perfect as well, aside from the four episodes with Charlize Theron: slow, convoluted, and an obvious shot at better ratings. Now I'm halfway through the fourth season, and it's quite a mess. Each episode features just a few charachters and a simple plot (though narrated in a confused way), while the episodes of the first three seasons were a complex, perfect, funny jigsaw.",8 "A lot of shine and gloss on the outside not much on the inside. Movie seems more interested in colorful fashion conscious settings with beautiful people surrounded by chic props and costly furniture set pieces right out of the Ad pages of a thick year end Vogue edition. The only thing missing seems to be Faberge eggs from the Czar's court or the Queen's jewels from London. Knives out was a hit because of the solid atmosphere of a locked room English country house mystery, Benoit Blanc was a fresh take on an overdone trope, Ana de Armas character was a really funny centerpiece character and the script was really tight. While here the atmosphere is more gaudy, glossy and over the top and nothing more, an hour or so in it's pretty obvious who's the choice for murderer and the so called twist or red herring is not much really, and the script just meanders around with a lot of puffy dialogue, Daniel Craig looks more bored and wanting out than in it. Finally the director and script just give up and everything just goes to hell, so not much here really. So all sound and hype which is overdone, but not much else.",6 "There always seems to be one horror movie that gets a surprising amount of hype and positive word of mouth every year, and I guess 2023's the year of Talk To Me, even if it was first screened in 2022. 2022 felt like it was the year of Barbarian. 2020 and 2021 I don't remember - I think everyone was too busy being scared by COVID. 2019 might've been Midsommar, but perhaps more so because in 2018 it was Hereditary, and both were directed by Ari Aster. 2015 was The VVitch, 2014 possibly The Babadook, and so on... Maybe it's not an exact pattern, but at the same time, maybe it's the nature of horror as a genre, and the emotional reactions it inspires, that make at least one big release of every year just take off and steal the thunder of other comparable movies, thanks to generating serious buzz. Traumatising critics and viewers alike (in a good way) also likely helps. And Talk To Me is definitely one of the more upsetting horror movies in recent years, and one that successfully gets under your skin. Horror movies unpacking intense themes regarding death, grief, and other not-very-fun things while also being traditionally scary continually proves to be a winning combination. Characters here are already grappling with various tragedies before the dead start communicating with them a little too much, and things progressively spiral out of control. Talk To Me succeeds in pulling you in quickly. It's paced fast, too, and this does result in some mild implausibilities and a few things that feel a tiny bit lacking from a writing perspective (a character has no restraints or proper security in a hospital, despite them doing incredibly dangerous things to themselves while being hospitalized, and a key character is weirdly absent from the whole climax - things like that which I barely noticed because everything thunders along very fast, but thought about more once the film was over). Shortcuts are taken, which stops it from being a perfect horror movie, but it does ensure it's a continually engaging horror movie where I never felt bored for a second. The performances are very good, the editing and visuals are both very strong, and complaints about small aspects of the writing aside, the core concept is creative and much of the dialogue is well-written. I do understand the hype around this one. I found it both unsettling and very entertaining (in a dark, sort of mortifying way).",8 "Well reviews are being deleted once again, just like this one. This is the fourth time I have posted this one. Hmmm...I guess no negative reviews of this particular show are tolerated...I wonder why? ""The Boys"" was a show that started out solid, with soo much potential... but became an unwatchable mess. The cause, the people involved with the series and their self-hatred, nihilism and desire to use this show as a platform for their own ideological impulses. It follows the same predictable pattern of what modern entertainment has become these days. Ideology passing as entertainment, underpinned by some socio-political, supposedly progressive babble that seems to be all the rage in Hollyweird nowadays. The baddies are also as cliched as they are predictable and boring and exactly who you'd expect from a ideologically infused production of this kind. This has become such a predictable pattern, that there is no longer any anger, frustration or ranting to be done...not even sadness or resignation. Only apathy.. Summary: An interesting beginning followed by a rapid decline...",1 "Difficult times for x-men. It is sad to see Logan's humiliations and his apathy toward his activities for a depressing end that is to run away without a fight. And when there is struggle to see its degradation is suffocating, when we expect a reaction, a return to the top, a sense of a new hope, everything fails. Only the girl who saves the movie, and the other children, besides, of course, good action scenes, but a sad and depressing film for such a vigorous character at its end does not live up to the franchise,",5 "Every good movie needs a good story. Gravity on the other hand had no story. Gravity may have some stunning visual effects, but the story line is very predictable and extremely boring! My wife and I actually had to watch this in two sitting. We ended up watching a different movie 15 minutes in because we couldn't take it. However, I convinced her to finish watching it, thinking it has to get better, it must get better. I was wrong! The ravishing reviews are misleading. Either that or I must have watched a completely different movie.",1 "Reading all the 1 and 2 star reviews I was kind of surprised since early critical reviews had been decent but you never know eh? Anyway I'm 2 episodes in and kind of enjoying it. Yes, I'm old enough to remember the old series and while I was a fan growing up the show is close to unwatchable now at least the last season and a half. The cries of 'political correctness' are here too and I'm not a fan of changing something just to satisfy whatever cultural norm is current. That said any changes they've done for LIS all work for me. The one thing I will say is that the show still has the kind of goofy charm of the original. This is no gloomy Battlestar Galactica reboot or Star Trek Discovery where everybody is fighting with each other and you don't like anybody in the cast. Bottom line is it is 'fun' in the way those mentioned shows aren't. The effects are OK and the acting is serviceable for the story. Like i said I'm only 2 episodes in and I say ignore the predictable haters and watch. I promise you it is worth your time if you like this kind of SF.",8 "I'd just like to say that Christopher Nolan had a lot of pressure on him to make a film better than Batman Begins and Heath Ledger had to revive the Joker character that Jack Nicholson did such a great job as and they both passed with flying colors. My only criticism for the movie is the terrible casting of Maggie Gyllenhaal because she never really connected with the audience partly because she did a bad job, she's hideous, and the audience was never able to connect with her because her presence seemed absent. Man she is ugly. Also Christian Bale didn't execute like he normally does. Everything else = amazing. Definitely leaves more than just a summer blockbuster taste in the mouth.",6 "This is higly overrated web series. It has got only 10% of actual story line, rest 90% is full of unnecessary characters, violence, nudity and foul language. Not even 2 hrs of storyline is dragged to 8 episodes, such a waste of time.",7 "It is remarkable to see the true struggles of young Peter Parker between his personal interests and his commitment to the city. This movie shows that being a hero, fighting crime, and balancing life to its full potencial is not for the faint of heart. This one is truly a winner!",10 "Pretty much sums it! But then i have to write more, cause imdb. The story doesn't make much sense, action and acting both are pretty good. Would watch it again? No.",5 "Must watch for film lovers, excellent acting by all actors And good direction.",9 "Witty, lots of action and overall very enjoyable. It isn't a masterpiece - but it was fun. Lots of humorous moments between Brock and Venom - and a pretty fun, albeit predictable, plot. Post credits scene added a star for me. They could do much more with this character and Tom Hardy as an actor - hopefully in the third.",8 "I loved it, believe now India is coming forward. Recently another show came ""Sacred Games"" Amazing. Just Watch this and that too.",10 "It's disappointing so many people were bored by a films attempt to tell a more layered sorry and perhaps that's why the majority of horror these days are terrible. Anyway, from a pair who only made YouTube videos before we have a deeply unsettling film. It is interesting that it is really about the grief of loss and how the power of the hand exploits this in people to gain a footing. There is indeed a slow build, which is called character development and when it kicks into high gear (you'll know the scene when you get to it) it never lets up. Please, please ignore the people with no attention span and give this one a solid try.",10 "This is an entertaining movie which you can safely watch with your entire family. The movie is suitable for watching it on Boxing Day or New Year's Eve. And when the movie is over you think the time was well spent. For a while, anyway. There was no real mystery, let alone a Murder Mystery, although people get killed. So what was I looking at? I would say at a lot of highly egocentric people who are very much in love with their own picture, or ego. They come out of different worlds like politics, fashion, social media and even science. What connects them is that they are all funded by some billionaire who sends an inventation to a Murder Mystery Party...",7 "In the film ""Gravity,"" oxygen wasn't the only thing in short supply. Acting skill, personality, rational physics and a sensible plot were sorely lacking. To nominate Sandra Bullock for Best Actress is to slap the face of every actress. To give the director an Oscar derides the Hollywood establishment as a whole. Take a long look at the last shots in the film then scratch your head and say the words,""Best Director"". The only thing that stood out in this film were special technical effects. They make the film worth watching but don't expect the plot to be as sophisticated as the effects. Consider the plot to be on the level of a Saturday morning cartoon.",2 "I'm so disappointed by season 5. I see the points they were making and they really could've been far more powerful had the stories not been weak. The first episode about the video games was actually the only one that was mildly entertaining for me. It lost me in some instances but it did manage to keep my attention longer than the next two. The second one was a mess, when the big reveal happens of why the big tragedy happened I couldn't help but chuckle. I know, I know, the point was to make the reason as ridiculous as possible so we see the danger in social media addiction but this story was told in such a goofy manner, you had to laugh... like ok ? The third episode was silly. Which is unfortunate because, again, there was a strong point it was trying to make - a point I very much agree with it. The story was no help at all. I think this one could've been better without the two girls. They were mostly annoying as the episode progressed and you realize they're just convenient plot devices ... you can and always have done better than that Black Mirror. So disappointed and hope they get back to their roots for season 6. Let's pretend season 5 never happened.",3 "I am sure there will be a huge pay off at the end but it isn't holding my interest now so why bother, I like that its different but like a new haircut, without a personality its just a haircut.",3 "I have only seen a few films in my life that have left me sitting there wondering if I should stand right there in the theater and applaud its brilliance. The mixture of amazing music and brilliant acting created an experience that you don't find often in film. I sat in my seat spellbound for its entire run time and not even once did I wonder if it was almost time to go. I'm a grown man and left the theater feeling like a little kid again, it ignited the part of my imagination that I forgot was there. Hugh Jackman gives an amazing performance that should have been nominated for an Oscar. I plead with anyone who reads this to ignore the pompous critics and to go and see this amazing film. You will not regret it!!!!",6 "I watched this movie in 2012 after release and I love this movie , because it's written by my favorite imtiyaz ali ....Very beautiful story ....Today recently i watched this movie .. And I suggest everyone should watch this movie ...... Because it's totally about of love ....And change life.",10 "I've enjoyed every single Harry Potter and have watched them all 4 plus times. I had high hopes to see a new movie based off of Rowling's book finally come out and let's just say it was surprisingly boring. The characters were decent, the plot confused me at first but I just didn't enjoy it. I don't recommend this to anyone. Especially if you're a fan of the Harry Potter franchise.",6 "Movie dekhte dekhte neend aa gyi , i enjoyed sleeping",1 "Swades-a movie which changed my life.This movie shows reality and a spark for patriotism,it shows how one forgets his country when he goes abroad,how one is so involves in his work and his life that he forgets his own land,his own people,where he was born and the place which gave him so much. Shahrukh Khan has give justice to his role as well as Gayatri Joshi who plays Gita has done, indeed a good job. This film delivers a strong message in the favor of women of India that they should live with self-esteem,independence and self-reliance.It teaches the Indian women to stand up and fight for their rights. This movie has sent a strong message to the people of India that they should be capable of doing their own work and stop blaming the government. This movie teaches us that education should be imparted to each of us so that we can secure our future.Each one has to a little bit from his side at the grass root level to make the weaker sections come at par with rest of the society. So,i would like to conclude by saying that this amazing has set an example, a very small example but meaningful which shows the hardships and the problems that our country India is facing and it will take the co-operation and the effort of all the people to free the country from theses problems. I would like to thank the director-Mr. Ashutosh Gowariker making such a movie .Hats Off to SWADES-WE,THE PEOPLE",10 "I love the series. Due to the sarcasm, in which each character plays his role and how they really are, they are behind the show business. See how they are without the perception that the public can see, that not everything that wears a cape is good. Thank you amazon for this entertainment.",8 "The Season 1 was interesting... with very good feelings of 80's. The story was good, the characters were authentic, It was funny theyblundered everythings... The season 1 was good. 8/10 The season 2 was a lacklustre replica.... not more 5/10 The Season 3 was a bad season... Banal, corny, foolish, laughable, boring, impeached, 2/10",3 "INTERSTELLAR is a movie I had to watch over and over because I'm a substitute teacher, and whenever this certain science teacher is absent he makes me show it to his slower classes. That's a bad sign, don't you think? This movie is so boring compared to the classic science fiction movies I grew up with, like THE OMEGA MAN starring Charlton Heston. And yet it's funny, because the opening situation is much the same. It's a post-catastrophe environment, where technology has failed and mankind has gone back to a more primitive, tribal way of living. Only there's this one scientist who still believes in science and thinks he can bring mankind back from the brink with technology and courage. And when the society that's left finds out about his attitude it's big trouble! Well, that's where the comparison falls apart. In THE OMEGA MAN the last surviving scientist is a bad ass, with an arsenal of weapons, an awesome bachelor pad, a fleet of sharp sports cars, and a cocky, man about town attitude somewhere between Joe Namath and Hugh Hefner. Each day he fights a one man war against hundreds of mad mutants who want him dead! In INTERSTELLAR the last surviving scientist is a boring shlub who mopes around on a small farm worrying about next year's wheat crop or something. Each day he fights a one man war against a couple of narrow-minded teachers who want him to admit the NASA moon landings were fake. In THE OMEGA MAN the stakes are high. Neville and his sworn enemy Matthias are playing for keeps. Every night. Gun battles, ambushes, people getting burned at the stake. In INTERSTELLAR the stakes are pitiful. Kids flunking at school, drones crashing in cornfields, the high school principal vaguely hinting that the hero's lifeless son ""might be happier as a farmer."" Oh no! And as I said, the flaky thing is, both movies basically explore the same conflict between the scientist's need to know and society's need to keep from knowing. But one movie is full of explosive action, and high drama, while the other one is full of cheap sentiment and melodrama. The contrast between INTERSTELLAR and THE OMEGA MAN reminds me of Mary McCarthy's famous remark about Arthur Miller's DEATH OF A SALESMAN, and in particular the climactic ""attention must be paid"" speech. Mary McCarthy said that it was ""the roar of the old Left theater, reduced to a dull whine."" INTERSTELLAR is the roar of Seventies science fiction reduced to a dull whine.",3 "BOOM BOOOMM BOOOMM its pretty entertaining even though the story is pretty boring and the script is trying way too hard to be funny, even Ryan Reynolds doesn't really pull it off, to be honest the film A team is more fun and funnier. Here its more of an Alfa Romeo ads made into a movie.",5 "Good story, traditional visuals from Marvel (great). One thing to point out is that, to me, Oscar Isaac is doing a phenomenal job performing a dual persona character. Recommended!!",8 "It was a bit better than the first movie, actually, my favorite movie in this series, because it's more than Spiderman's heroism,human side and in fact, we're watching Peter Parker's life in this movie my favorite part is whether it's a normal life or a spiderman that's the choice finally making the right decision. I think the best villian Doctor Oktopus I like the movie",8 "Worst movie I have ever seen in my life ... Fan 😣😣 Slow, Boring; Overacting it has it all. Only for SRK fans Hard for neutrals. Too long; movie could have shorter by 10-15 minutes. Jungle book or IPL will be a far better alternative. I will choose to see CHAKDE once again instead of fan. After Dilwale; Raone another attempt to do something new failed; SRK fans may appreciate it but a neutral spending around 1k on it (tickets and interval for 2) one may demand for far better entertainment. Got 19.20cr opening on a partial holiday disappointing for a SRK movie. It fill finish something around 60cr on first Weekend whereas PRDP(not a good movie at all) which was second movie of salman in 3 month time released last December collected around 102cr so the difference is quiet obvious.",1 The movie is godfather looong movie the imagine indirectorof photography is good but acting is wel all actor,4 "The biggest problem with this show is Kate Winslet's portrayal of Mare, who was an athlete in her younger days and a cop. There are many athletes that allow themselves to get overweight and out of shape as they get older, but cops do have physical fitness standards they needs to keep up especially one that is a detective and of command rank. Maybe Kate Winslet should have talked to some female cops the same age age, rank and position about what the job requirements including physical fitness would require.",6 "In my opinion its not the best spider-man film i grew up with the rami trilogy and honestly this is the one I watched the least Edit: just watched it again I actually forgot how good it is its still not the best spider-man but i change my rating from a 7 to a 9",9 "It may sound very exaggerated if we say this series is nostalgic and fantastic as we start with it, but couple of episodes binge watching down will get you realize it's very true! First of all, huge applause for the writers and Creators of this series, that happen to get absolutely new and unique storyline! All of us have at least seen a bit of village and this series makes you all nostalgic about it, making it so relevant that village life is the coolest life! The casting is totally appropriate and each episode brings some new story. Cool... Awaiting season 2! Well done TVF!",9 I'm a sceptic when it comes to horror films and I am a horror fanatic to the point where friends watch a horror if I say it's good and this was good! Different to the regular horror movies we see! Great concept! It made me tense and that rarely happens when I watch a horror movie! About the same level as The Rite and Deliver me from evil. Quite a good watch! The ending could have been better though. Actors truly played their parts well! They all deserve their dues! Watched it alone and it did leave me a bit jumpy! Bring on more of these I say! I am waiting for this writer's next movie for sure!,8 "A gripping, suspenseful thriller over 24 episodes, generally well acted, especially by Kiefer Sutherland as the impossibly perfect federal agent, while the security service he works for and in whose employ he risks his life numerous times in the 24 hours distrusts him and is ready to sacrifice him to avoid political embarrassment! It is also penetrated by terrorist agents who can even manage to take over the CCTV camera system. An agent - one only - sent check out a ""safe house"" approaches openly on foot and wanders about the garden in full view until shot dead by a terrorist sensibly hiding behind a tree. Is the reality really this bad? One hopes not. But then this is just entertainment, isn't it?",6 "I give it 3 stars for the huge effort, special effects and good acting. Overall it is a stupid film, bloated with self-importance and sentimentality, with poor pacing. Action scenes did not quite land with me, you know, superheroes throwing and punching stuff, who cares.",3 "Martin Short and Steve Martin are excellent, as they are in just about everything they do. The storyline has great potential and the supporting cast are fantastic. My only poblem is that Selena Gomez's character is exceedingly annoying. She is somber and judgmental. She also seems to have a problem with white men, which to me makes her a racist. Hopefully her chracter will develop into a nicer person, making the show more watchable.",5 "Got taken by my friend to see it, had somewhat if an open mind to it but oh God, it felt like 3 hours if watching nothing happen. Nothing felt big except the final fight, and the voice acting was terrible and sounded like they edited it in last.",2 As a teenager I can see and understand this perfectly. It was a funny movie and one that we enjoy because of the things that it has. 100% enjoyable,8 "I had a great time watching this show and really enjoyed it, but I expected it to be better, to be something special and it failed my expectations a little bit to be honest I am not sure if I am a fan of these 1h 20min+ episodes, some of them were kind of boring at times Some episodes were just weaker than the others (especially s01e02) and we had only 14 of them so it makes this show inconsistent, some cases were way less interesting and over complicated And on top of that we have this really weird season 4 and I am not saying it was super bad or anything, but it just felt like a different show it wasnt ""Sherlock"" Acting is amazing (after season 1 at least, actors got better in the later seasons especially the main actor) Characters are great and super likable and it's just a pleasure to watch them. This show have many great, absolutely phenomenal moments but it also has many boring/over complicated ones. And all of that makes this show really inconsistent, it's either spectacular or mediocre and it all depends on the case/episode. The most important thing are the characters tho, cuz even if the case is bad you will enjoy watching them anyway. I can obviously recommend this series and I think it's a must watch for TV shows lovers, but it just wasnt as good, as special as I thought it would be.",8 "The plot was decent, characters were OK even if there were a few too many of them. The action was intense for a PG movie, perhaps a little too much. I probably would have rated this PG-13 and then not brought my 5yo daughter. She was jumping out of her seat several times when scary monsters with fangs break onto the screen unexpectedly with loud noises. The worse part was the animation style though. There are lots of reviews praising this but either my theater messed up, or the animation style was just terrible. It was like watching a 3D movie without your 3D glasses. Everything in the background had that 3 color hue around it. Foreground stuff was fine, but it simply made the background art look terrible. I had to look around the theater a few times, and double check my tickets to make sure we hadn't gotten into a 3D movie without the glasses. If anyone calls this an art style, I'll call it cheap editing to save money on making a 3D version.",6 "So FAN isn't your typical run-of-the-mill, commercial potboiler (read: the last couple of SRK films) It is absurd, psychic, weird, cryptic, and oh-so-darned-intriguing. The concept is simple ""The fans maketh the star"", but the execution is complex and just so bamboozling. There is a reason why Shah Rukh Khan is known for his intense roles. This film brings back the menacing Darr-Baazigar-Anjaam-esque SRK back and he is pure masterclass. You may love him. You may hate him. But you can't help but admire the guy's acting ability. The film drags a bit in the second-half, and sways away from reality for a sizeable amount of time, but you can still make do with it. Aryan Khanna is the name of the narcissistic superstar in the film. But when you come out of the theatre, the immensely insane yet innocent Gaurav Chandana baffles your mind. This film is not everyone's cup of tea. Some people might deliberately hate it, but hey, that is the persona of SRK. The most polarising actor ever. Thank You Maneesh Sharma for bringing back ""The Actor SRK"" whom we desperately missed since My Name Is Khan. Kudos to the team for choosing something so risky and so brave. Films like these are not made for Huge Box Office Collections, they are made for sheer uniqueness. You may agree with me. You may disagree with me. All I would like to say is ""Rehnede, Tu Nahi Samjhega"". #FAN",9 "I have never written a review on here before, but use it religiously when watching something new. For people like me I felt like I needed to write a review about season 3. I am only giving it a four because season one and two were actually good. But season 3 is so disappointing, and makes my rating that low. This new character Ani is horrible! Everything about her is annoying, her voice, her personality, her lies, EVERYTHING. She came out of left field, doesn't even fit with the original characters. She has absolutely nothing to do with Hannah, which was the original point of this show. It's just very disappointing and she should of never been brought into the group.",4 "This movie might have been better titled ""The Ken Miles Bio"" for the almost complete absence of point to point competition between the two car marques. Hollywood has yet to make an excellent racing movie but this one isn't even in the top ten. I gave it a three for excellence in period features such as technology, classic cars and the like. The secondary actors were better than the primaries. Don't waste your money.",3 A solid watchable film that doesn't really try to rewrite history. However it's emotionally vacuous and overrated.,6 "Watched it on netflix...starting was bit confusing, but from mid part it got speed and charm..Daniel is not usually small seen like this,other characters are doing great, birdie character is bit out of the show. Layers in the story gives simplified solution which ruined the thrill,,but most devastating idea is the Monalisa.. Is it joke??? Alpha company, sweatpants,politician all this not cleared enough. Detective's background or sharp thoughts are not shown properly, In a scene Helen is saying you are the best Detective in the world according to google,,are you kidding me...need more thinking on dialogues.. But lastly it is entertaining.",8 Actually enter of movie was good and funny but second part of movie was very boring.I didnt like this movie.All this years i excited for a dc movie but it was dissapointed for me.I missed the dark knight triology times.Because it was golden times for dc universe.I missed heath ledger.R.I.P Heath🙏 Dc universe falls.,6 "I never thought it was very good from seeing the trailer but sometimes that can be deceiving so I gave the series a go... And let's just say it was not worth my time. The acting is horrible, the plot is confusing and overall just so bad. Its a mix between Xena and young Hercules- only much worst. I only kept going because I wanted to see what happend in the end, but to do so i was fast forwarding. I hope there will not be a season 2, please Netflix spend your money on something better, like Mindhunter- not this awful so called entertainment.",1 "Great movie must watch, they said it's a small movie but you get feel of Bahubali scale when it comes to VFX ... it's going pan word hit movie without any doubt .. Nice movie, the movie is full of devotional with awesome action and realistic graphics in low budget. Bharatiya cinema at its best. Great what they accomplished with limited budget that too a concept film like Hanuman. Jai Bajrang Bali.

Bharatiya cinema at its best. Great what they accomplished with limited budget that too a concept film like Hanuman.",10 "The movie was aesthetically pleasing, but that was all there is to it. Overall the movie was vague and confusing, but probably because it was following the novel that it was based on, but if this is Fitzgerald best literature work, then it is highly overrated both movie and book....",4 "People keep comparing this to BoRhap. Not even close. Does not even compare. Unrealistic, predictable, nothing special about it. Acting was ok, story on the other hand, had me rolling my eyes every 5 minutes. This is the type of movie which if hyped, disappoints. Better go see this with the lowest possible expectations or none at all, or better yet, just don't. If you're a Gaga fan, you'll like it. If your panties get wet when you see Bradley Cooper, you'll like it. If you dismiss the fan-factor, you're left with nothing but a sub-par, mediocre film. I rate it 4/10, because Gaga does have a good voice, and the acting is not terrible. But that's all I'll give it. Spend 2 hours and 16 minutes at your own risk.",4 "This movie is so fun and I love it and it still may be one of my favorite movies of all time, I just think it's that good of a movie and personally think this is better than the Tom Holland films.",10 "Humorous at times, but these writers are obviously trying to join the Cult of Shyamalan by emulating his continued attempts for new ways to hit the audience with a new Sixth Sense jaw-dropping twist, but falling flat.... Initially it's an intriguing, fun movie. But you wait for a crazy twist ending, only to be disappointed by a ridiculously lacking payoff. The only thing more infuriating than the ending of the movie, is later in the day/evening when you realize just how much time, energy, and emotion you invested into this movie, only to be disappointed... If you're into watching movies simply for fun or to analyze them... then you'll probably give this one a 5 or 6 out of 10. But if you're a real cinephile, I doubt you'll give it more than 4/10z .",4 Why do half the songs sound like they are from high school musical?,4 Well Abhishek Bachchan is being always teased for his acting although I do like his acting in this movie somewhat and Breathe into the shadows was too good. And other cast were too good although some what less cast could be a preferable option 😃,9 "Orinality, reminded me to 70's horror films, where they didn't want to make a repeated horror film with a long black hair little girl wearing a white dirty dress, like 99% of horror films in the last 2 decades, well, THERE ISNT A long black hair little girl wearing a white dirty dress IN THIS FILM!!!!! ALLELUYAH!!!!! Also, the originality was something we haven't seen in many decades, the practical effects instead of excess of CGI makes the movie stand out above all the other horror films where CGI use makes the movies look more like a Dolce Gabanna fashion show than a horror film, the acting was also on point, the color grading fantastic, good drama, solid script, very creepy and terrifying, it has everything to become a whole franchise, I hasten to say a few names to upcoming sequels: ""Dont talk to me"" ""Talk to us"" ""Talk to them"" ""Talk""",10 "Coming from one who steers clear of horror films that deal with the supernatural, Talk To Me is a resounding recommend, an ode to the craft of first time filmmakers Danny & Michael Philippou. Here, the brothers known for live action Youtube horrors, step up their offerings by elevating the ever popular ouija board concept, with fresh, exciting tropes & terrific storytelling. And the result, is as breathtaking, as it is terrifying. While Talk To Me accounts for the familiar premise that sees the usual thrill-seeking teenagers, needlessly making contact with enraged supernaturals, it is Mia's storyline that takes the trope notches more significant. Her grief and trauma as emotional backdrops is genius, as it gives a personal & moving reason for the horrifying madness let loose in its wake. As predatory forces prey on Mia's silent suffering as invitations, our worst fears are then effectively resembled. Apart from Mia's perspective, Talk To Me nails its scare tactics through expertly crafted sound design, that accounts for its atmosphere of dread & out of the shadows peril. The effectiveness is furthered by outstanding camerawork that spooks without the need for annoying jump scares. Overall, Talk To Me paves its own way for appreciation from both hardcore & fair weather fans of the genre. It is genuinely tense, scary, and boasts of a fresh & exciting adaptation that adds meaning to its well executed tropes. I confirm then, Talk To Me is the first film of its kind that I actually admire.",7 "And i did like the previous ones. The first part was also not so good but this one was empty .... i totally don't understand why many people did like it. The aspects i usually like in this series is the humor and fun. This one didn't have almost any jokes and the storyline, is (as usual) pretty idiotic. There was not even any sophistication in the plot, just ... three hours of nothing. i don't rate it with 1/10 just because there were a few well done landscape shots... Come on, earth, stop spinning... i want to get off...",3 "A film like Silver Linings Playbook presents perfectly the age old dilemma about film. Should film be good because it is entertaining, or because it has artistic value. Whereas in most cases entertainment value is inextricably intertwined with artistry, In silver Linings playbook, the two are distinctly bifurcated. The truth is that I enjoyed Silver Linings, but not because it is an easy or particularly exciting watch. The film is very dour, filmed very conventionally, and much Too slow, too tepid for my liking. It deals with a difficult subject matter unconventionally- whereas the film is never overtly unflinching in its portrayal of mental illness, there is always an uneasy tension between the central characters which permeates most of the film. The result is a movie that is largely humourless and very messy. I also find fault with the screenplay, which may get banal, and does not offer me new insights into the world of mental illness. For a film which is heavy on dialogue, this could be a disappointment. Artistically however, the film is a triumph, due in large part to its outstanding cast. Bradley Cooper , Robert De Niro, and many of the supporting characters like Chris Tucker are all superb. The film also delves into the father-son dynamic between the junior and senior Pat, which is interesting. Then there is Jennifer Lawrence, in a bravura performance which some her the Oscar for Best actress. Her portrayal of the assertive, domineering, but ultimately vulnerable and damaged Tiffany is finely layered, nuanced, and painfully believable. Lawrence is gifted with a deep mellow voice which she uses to great effect, combined with perfectly judged expressions and mannerisms. She is able to convey beautifully well a multitude of expressions- agony, pain, indignation, and of course, bliss, as the film progresses. First rate work from a first rate actress. Lastly, the ending of the film deserves praise. It is simply done but effective in its emotional catharsis- it does not overindulge on flashiness or long drawn suspense, rather opting for a straightforward approach that befits the two hours of film preceding it. It is memorable and a wonderful ending to a meaningful story. But my problem still remains- Silver linings playbook is a difficult film to watch. This is because it is earnestly and realistically portrayed- qualities which are normally good but in this case may sap entertainment value from this movie. It deals with a topic which may not resonate with many people. It is also quite slow in its pacing, very moody, and sometimes explosive. Personally, I like watching films because they make me happy, or make me excited, or make me anxious about what happens next. Which is why is can only admire, but cannot fully enjoy the excellent film which is Silver Linings Playbook.",6 "If you like a movie with special effects, make-up, lame jokes and a cool soundtrack this is a movie for you. I prefer a story however, so sorry, but can't rate this higher. Tried to watch it two times and fell asleep both times. However, a a lot people fall asleep on movies that I like. I'm just really tired overall on the world of Marvel. The first movies they made were really interesting but I feel now that all movies are like ""a higher power"" which never really gets explained. Marvel has generally went from making the best super-hero movies to ""superheroes who can't stop telling corny jokes in a green-screened environment with a cool soundtrack"".",4 "Josh Futturman (Josh Hutcherson) is a lowly janitor at a biotech company run by Doctor Elias Kronish (Keith David). He lives at home with his parents (Ed Begley, Jr., Glenne Headly) and spends all his spare time playing a video game called Biotic Wars. When he finally defeats the game, he finds himself face to face with characters in the game, Tiger (Eliza Coupe) and Wolf (Derek Wilson). They tell him that the game is a simulation from a dystopian future world and that Kronish's work created the savage future. They expected Josh to have super human skills but is shocked to find a scrawny nerd. Josh is a bit problematic as the lead at the beginning. I don't like him. He's too pathetic to live but he does improve over time. I grow to accept him after a few episodes. It's an insane show and it gets even more ridiculous in the second season. In a way, I like it. I like going down the rabbit hole of ridiculous stupidity. The third season does get too ridiculous even for me and that season has too many slow episodes. The big name behind the scenes are Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen. Seth comes in to act at the end of the second season. That turn may be one turn too many. All in all, this is a fun ridiculous ride and I'm glad that it ended after its three season run.",7 "I liked the 2nd episode better than the Pilot as it had more intensity in the scenes. The atmosphere and ambient sound was especially good on home theatre systems so I do advise future virwing to use surround sound. I have never played the game and I can quitr easily say that if you inserted this into an episode of The Walking Dead, many viewers would simply see it as a branch of the story-arc. It has the feel and visuals of high production values. The practical effects and prosthetics complement the story and chill and the pacing is done just right in introducing the threat that is the parasite. Pedro is slowly becoming my favorite actor as most of his films I have rated at 8. Looking forward to Mandalorian season 3. I enjoyed it enough to keep pushing into the next episodes. Perhaps my ratings would change.",8 "I started watching this show twice to give it a chance, but I really couldn't get into it. What is this even about? They did a horrible job at explaining the story, not to mention the acting was cringe worthy. I know there are fantasy shows, movies and books that can be very confusing and you need to watch to know what's going on but this was way too confusing. I'm sure whoever has played the game or read the books will know what's going on, but as someone who is new to the story, I really couldn't grasp it or get into it. This story was very geeky, very over the top and somehow boring. The actors were attractive, and it seemed to be done very well, however I couldn't get into it.",5 "A very entertaining first season with some minor adaptation quirks here and there. Casting choices might be a problem for some, but I don't believe it's a major issue. If you're a fan of the games, you're gonna like the show.",8 "This film is often misunderstood so my review may seem unusual. Overall I enjoyed this movie. Joel (Jim Carrey) pops pills two or three times in the film. I believe he is a psychiatric patient, for example suffering from a personality disorder. This is NOT a science fiction film about mind erasing machines, or a romance film exploring the good and bad of relationships. Clementine is imaginary, as is Lacuna. One episode of pill-popping is accompanied by strange music and paranoia, so the pills are not exactly vitamins! The memorabilia Joel has collected contain no evidence that he and Clementine were in a real relationship. There are no photos of the two of them together; rather, the photos of Kate on her own, and the crazy sketches of the couple, seem to be the belongings of a mad stalker. Kate and Joel even have a casual conversation about stalking early in the film. My interpretation of Eternal Sunshine as an exploration of psychosis runs as follows. A few years before the film begins, Joel is an extreme introvert dating a woman called Naomi. His mental instabilities increase and one day at a Montauk beach party, missing Naomi and sitting quietly away from everyone, he even imagines meeting another person, Clementine. This girl is probably based on a (real) Barnes & Noble employee he had seen earlier. She seems real enough to him that Joel breaks up with his girlfriend Naomi. Joel's psychiatrist (Dr. Howard Mierzwiak) prescribes medication to return him to normal. Deep down, part of Joel rebels against this, since a return to normal would necessarily strip him of the abnormal life he has come to lead (characterised in part by a fictitious relationship with 'Clementine'). The doctor's drugs appear to Joel as a mind-erasing 'machine', which can attack him at any moment (we see scenes of the machine in his doctor's office, in the street, and especially in his bed where he likes to spend a lot of time, being an introvert). The machine is just Joel's active imagination making tangible something he doesn't quite understand. The sick part of Joel wants to fight back, so he tries to entrench Clementine in his memory - witness the scenes where she runs through his childhood. Eventually the drugs work, and Clementine is repressed. Her 'dying' words are 'meet me in Montauk', the place he first imagined her (Montauk is an anagram of 'nut amok', interestingly. Probably just a coincidence...). Joel gets back together with Naomi (this is most evident from one of the deleted scenes, where he is calling Naomi as her reinstated boyfriend) and life is normal again. Then one day for a reason unknown to him at the time (perhaps he had skipped his medication that day), he plays hooky on work and takes the train to Montauk. The rediscovery of Clementine is not rapid or obvious; but by the end of the day their relationship is re-established. (In a deleted scene, Joel then calls Naomi and breaks up with her for the second time.) His personality disorder is back in full swing. He even remembers the earlier episode of 'mind erasure' (success with the medication) via an audio tape (again a product of his imagination, in his search for tangibility) and is repulsed that he let the erasure happen. Where did the name Lacuna come from? In one of the first scenes of the film, Joel happens to look at his neighbour's mail, and feeling paranoid at that moment, thinks that the return address (""Lacuna"") might represent something significant. Later he works the name into his explanations of what is going on in his head. Does my interpretation sound far-fetched? Well, take the example of Stan and Mary jumping half-naked on their patient's bed: I believe it is more credible to interpret that as a figment of Joel's mind, rather than the truth. markebden@hotmail.com",7 Ratsasan is one of the few tamil cinemas that can give you goosebumbps for the thriller nature and if you start watching the movie you will be glued towards the screen to know what's going to happen next due to characterization of the mystery killer and the backstories and coming to the movie the vishnu vishal acting is excellent and this film is made for him. finally special thanks to ghibran for the amazing background music that can haunt inside your head for several days and apart fromt that the only negative i find in the movie is what ever murders that happens in city is mysteriously have an connection with the hero and his family and finnaly i recommend all to watch this rare kind of tamil film that comes once in an while,10 "Almost all our questions about the anime's world we got it in this episode, however we need answers about what we got in this episode too.",10 "The books primarily succeed because they create a nuanced emotional world rather than a cohesive story which could be followed logically. As a narratives go, it's messy, much more like a series of short stories with gaps and jumps. This explains why the books were essentially unknown in the US prior to their adaptation into a video game. What it does have are excellent, flawed characters and an immersive world. This seems to have given the games a lot of leeway to pull narratives together, which they did very very well. That puts the show in a difficult position of attempting to honor both the books and the games, or rather the happy position of being able to pull material from both to design and satisfy the original narrative intent. And they did a fantastic job (at least for the first two seasons when this was written).",6 "I am not a real Marvel fan, so I don't know much about the comics. I did however saw the Captain America movies and although they were entertaining, they didn't stuck with me. This series begins the same way. The action is OK, although it's full CGI. Then we get the story which is slower then expected, which wasn't bad, but it was like stepping on the brake while speeding. So it felt odd. I loved WandaVision and I figured they wouldn't repeat something wonderful like that and I was right. As popcorn and action go, it's still OK though. Maybe the other episodes will pick up.",6 "How to describe the fake accents? Imagine trying to make a New York mob film where all the actors speak in a Texan accent. No two characters speak with the same faux-African accent. Felt very sorry for the actors having to say lines in that faux accent. Can't think of any more cringe worthy moment for the very talented cast. Then there is the complete disregard of actual African regions and differences. Zulus wearing face paint? With designs from sub-Saharan Africa?? Boko Haram schoolgirls transplanted across the entire breadth of the continent? And yet somehow this film was hyped as somehow authentic to African culture.",2 "This is one of those movies who make things unnecesarily complicated in order to impress. The plot becomes more and more complicated, until you realize they are just messing with your mind. So all you care from then on is when this movie will end. The cool CGI effects are just a few minutes: the rest is just pseudo james bond style garbage A pseudointelectual movie for the pseudointelectual people",3 "Questionable opening scenes of a fiery spacecraft engulfed in thousands of degrees flames as it enters the atmosphere to crash into our earthly soil at thousands of mph which should have shattered the craft into little burnt pieces; it's somewhat intact, and someone survives along with, of course, the slime alien. Source of alien is a stretch, and corporate won't pass on its chance to make a killing (pun). Alien has all the right attributes - creepy crawly slimy sucking extendable's; loads of predation razor teeth; a tongue to tickle your palette; and it sort of talks. Is Marvel trying to broaden it's declining superhero market? Plot weak; slime CGI nastiness was a bit of a plot rescue.",2 "Waste of time. Don't watch it, it's totally Hinduphobic, demeaning hindu gods.",1 "Dr Smith this, dr Smith that. Really bad acting from this woman",5 "This bloated and soggy piece of work is so far from earning a number 2 spot on the IMDb that I have to imagine that Stephen King has bought votes for it. Trite , mawkish, shallow, unconvincing, ugly... How much more can I say about its awfulness? Morgan Freeman is tolerable, Tim Robbins is not. There is a romantic glow to the cinematography that is really inappropriate if the main characters are heterosexual. If they aren't there is an unexplored subtext poisoning the base of the movie. There is nothing else about this movie that makes a lick of sense: emotional, dramatic, logical, racial, penological. Rips off the Count of Monte Cristo and Huckleberry Finn and cheapens and flattens them. Its appeal escapes me utterly. For the love of God, sink this film!",4 "It is a puzzle, and each scene progressively gives you a pieve until the final scene has the episode making sense. I honestly have no idea who this character is but the actor (Oscar Isaac) gives a worthy acting performance that had me invested. I am yet to read the aourcw material, but from what ive seen thus far, this show has so much potential and would have made an awesome Movie. I follows a confused man with a form of split personality disorder only, one identity is a superheor or anti-hero and he doesnt even know it . He is fighting for control of his own body and the struggle is shown through how he atruggles to control his own life. He is disfunctional and a mess with no hope but it seems the path laid out before him is unavoidable. If you are looking for a show that tells a story, i suggest you jump on board. I can only hope Marvel does not ruin this one as they seem to be unable to help themselves when it comes to ruining TV shows with great potential.",7 "As a long-time reader of fantasy but unfamiliar with this series or the video game, I enjoy this series but find it so confusing trying to follow the timelines. I love Geralt's character and the cinematography and battle scenes. However, I thought by Episode 3 it would have pulled things together a bit more. I keep wracking my brain trying to figure how it all relates and when the various scenes actually take place. Utterly confusing. The books will be on my list to read in the near future, but for the uninitiated, the Netflix series is gorgeous to look at but ultimately unsatisfying. Hoping the remaining episodes get better.",6 "The events in Chernobyl showed in practice how terrible the consequences of the negligence of a person giving orders could be. Undoubtedly the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant occurred through the fault of selfish people. Without even realizing it, they doomed thousands of people to death and disease. But who were these people? This series deserves compliments for its attitude to details, high-quality shooting and the play of actors. Is this the TV show of the year? Unfortunately, I can not call him that. Not for nothing I drew an analogy with the foundation of the house in the table of contents. This series has a foundation, but the foundation was designed by a very inexperienced engineer. This engineer looked from afar at the foundation he wanted to repeat when building his house and tried very hard to do everything right, but unfortunately he could not. ""What is the price of a lie?"", This series asks us a question. On the subject of this question, you can argue for a long time and find real stories or invent them to interpret the basic meaning of the question. However, the authors chose a catastrophe in Chernobyl and this was the most fatal mistake in the ""design of the foundation"", because of which it was covered with cracks. The fact is that all the main message of the series is based on the moments invented by the writers. The characters are built on these moments, the whole drama is built on these moments. This is a very big mistake. ""Chernobyl"" was supposed to be a show exclusively about the negligence of the manager, at that time, the reactor staff and the courage of all those who saved the whole continent, but not about lies and struggle against the state. The very ""artistic conventions"" turned the brave people who saved the world into intimidated bastards, who have to choose: to save the whole world or not to get a bullet from their own state. ""The artistic conventions"" are so huge that in order to see them you will need to ""step back "": 1. Legasov was not the ""central"" character of those events, he was only a link in a huge chain. He did not beg the government to evacuate, he didn't work alone (Homyuk doesn't count: the real prototypes that included in she are not the three people who worked in team with Legasov), he didn't make everyone ""move"" and moreover he didn't persuade everyone that it is dangerous. The KGB never ""pressed"" on him (source: decryption of Legasov's tapes. It also indirectly proves that he did not hide the tapes, and his memoirs ""went"" to all the institutes after his report in Vienna). There are several theories why Legasov committed suicide: 1 - fear of radiation sickness; 2 - harassment among colleagues who envied Legasov's success after his report in Vienna. Dyatlov did not see pieces of graphite on the ground, and after the accident he walked around the unit two times, but did not understand what had happened. Dyatlov left the station by ambulance, it tells that all the time he was at the station. 2. People in high positions did not sit on their hands: immediately after a few hours after the accident, teams were formed for possible elimination of consequences and evacuation of people and they were formed simultaneously with the formation of the ""Legasov team"". The high ranks immediately knew about the danger and no scientist persuaded them. None of the higher ranks had the right to face the death penalty, especially Shcherbina, who served as deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR and had no relation to the judicial system, and for the behavior shown in the series, could lose his post. 3. Immediately after the disaster, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant sent a signal ""1, 2, 3, 4"", which indicated that the station had all the possible dangers, including radiation, that is, people understood what they were going. The day after the accident, all the TV channels of the USSR were told about the catastrophe. During the liquidation, documentaries were filmed and shown to the population of the USSR on television. Where is the ""big lie"" that is said in the series? How now, knowing how everything was in reality, do you see the characters of the series? The above facts have an ""absolute"" influence on how events would unfold, so their distortion leads to a distortion of the whole event and its perception. These are the facts that were not worth distorting. These are the very distortions due to which the writers were able to move that event to the plane they need - the plane of lies, when in reality there was no talk of that. What did it lead to? Now everyone will believe that the higher ranks were just sitting out their pants and intimidating everyone with execution while people were dying from radiation, when in reality they were the first to start thinking about solving the problem. Now everyone will think that people were not told about the danger, although in fact they were told almost immediately. Now everyone will believe that people were silenced and forbidden to talk about danger, when in fact the accident was made public in the country almost immediately. Therefore, I call the screenwriters ""inexperienced engineers"": they turned the meaning of those events, that life lesson upside down. This was done in order to get into the main message of the film: ""The Price of Lie"", but it turns out to have unexpected consequences. Just like that cherished button AZ-5. Comrade scriptwriters, what is the price of a lie?",7 "Just what I feared! The teaming up of Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar in MNIK brings out a neatly packaged bag of clichés. No doubt the canvass is huge and the lead pair get enough time to show off their acting skills but, somehow it doesn't work for me. Three reasons: KJo has desperately attempted to get a far-fetched and contorted story rolling to a terribly banal ending. Those who have watched Dustin Hoffman in Rainman and Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump will pity Khan's role as Rizwan. Then, the film is built on the 9/11 episode which has already spawned a generation of films around the world, including India. The idea comes too late and KJo attempts to be clever by making a film which makes a moral preaching out of Christian-Muslim divide post 9/11 and cash in on the American sentiments. Finally, you make a film to allow more screen space to actors just because they can act. Well, sir, you just lost the plot. Curiously, KJo's latest work seems a clone of his previous works KANK and KKKG. Same stars, same sets and same deliverance. The cinematography and music are a treat. So I give the film a 5 of 10. Watch Ishqia for money's worth. And, you will know the difference!",5 "I started to watch, but I just couldn't get past the opening 15 minutes of the most ridiculous car chase I have ever seen! There were so many ridiculous aspects that I had to quit watching. I don't know how people can stomach such inanity!",4 "Okay I have to admit, I only managed 30 minutes, which is impressive considering I'm someone who hates when people give up on movies. However, the comedy was way too forced, not funny in the slightest and just really stupid and weird. How this is rated is highly is beyond me.",1 I personally liked how everything was portrayed. What it shows is what needs to have more awareness. Everything that happened shows how hard it was for her and her own issues and no one saw in the moment what they were doing to her and how she was needing help and no one showed a care. She felt alone and against all odds. The show spreads awareness and I fully believe that the show has great intentions behind it if certain people could just grasp it in a positive manner and see the signs when they see someone crying for help and actually help that person.,9 "Part1(Phantom blood ):it is a little rough at start but if deeply thinking through it's esscence, u will get a deeper understanding and will be able to look through the plot. Part2(battle tendency): this part continues the glory of part one and even nullifies the mistake of part one. Part3(stardust crusaders, stardust crusaders battle in Egypt): this is a straight out blockbuster with action blowing ur mind, with a exhilarating against the clock plot. Part4(diamond is unbreakable): a chill compilation of action, mystery, and a good part to watch after a stressful day. Part5(golden wind): ok ok I know that it looks a little gay and weird, but this is the best season of jojo yet, with much more complex and enjoyable plot and characters, with compelling action , this part will keep u at the edge of ur seat.",9 "This movie is Not bad, is Not going to save you life, is not going to change your life, because for those of us who've watched the animated TV Show ""Rick&Morty"" this movie is nothing new!!.... as a matter of fact, I call it ""Rick&Morty"" for newbies!! Haha. In general the concept of Multiverses has been done many times (Including the TV Show ""Loki"") so there is not a lot new in here The acting is good but I still insist it should've been Jackie Chan playing the husband!! He has a far longer and more interesting career than ""Ke Huy Quan"", Jackie Chan was ROBBED of that oscar and other awards!! Such an injustice!",4 "That's the kind of movie that makes me laugh out loud. Not because it's super fun (I mean, there are some fun moments in this one. I completely lost it when Michael Cera performed ""These Eyes""), but I usually laugh seeing how ridiculous white straight men can be. All the narrative is centered on their cocks. As a woman, I felt ashamed most of the times, but I would be even more ashamed if I were a man. There's nothing ""heroic"" about being a stupid.",4 "Doesn't follow a straight sequence. All spread out, with many, many missing points. Despite the exagerated amount of sex scenes. The movie loses its track, with a poor ending.",1 "Excellentlently done, very entertaining for the young & old. It's exciting to watch, it will hold your attention from one moment to the next from chapter to chapter. Great Job!",9 "Neeraj Panadey gave justice to the script well. overall he did another brilliant job after ""A Wednesday"". Akshay gives a convincing performance as a no-nonsense conman in Special Chabbis, a compelling heist drama based on real events. Coming from the action hero prone to over-the-top comedy and melodrama, this controlled act is definitely a refreshing surprise. Besides that, the other actors in leading roles, Anupam Kher, Manoj Bajpayee and Jimmy Sheirgill do more than justice to their roles, making the movie worth your money and time.Best dialouge of movie ""Logon ke peron mein chakr hota hai mere (AKKI)Dimaag mein hai"".Music part is good only one Punjabi song can make you dance which is already in the movie.Neeraj pandey did a brilliant home work and went very deep in seqences of script.overall It looks realistic.",7 "I did not have high hopes going into this show. Season 8 left a flaming bag of dog droppings in my mouth so I was understandably hesitant to watch this. Two episodes in and it is a much stronger show than I expected. The cast are talented, the writing is solid, the costumes are well done, the sets are perfectly in line with the original series. If I have one thing to say to HBO it would be: DON'T MESS THIS UP. Seriously, just keep doing what you're doing. Don't start injecting derivative storylines in the plot. Don't change a thing. Don't do what GoT did in Season 8. There's plenty of other depressing things in the world that we can turn to if we want our hopes and dreams crushed, thanks.",8 "Slow and boring for the most part. Only salvaged by the last few minutes of 5he conclusion. That said, the acting was particularly good and Jennifer looked fantastic, even after the secret police had given her a going over 😀.",3 "If you want to go to sleep, watch this movie. It's slow, it's ""Jazzy,"" the story sucks, the characters are stale even thought Gosling & Stone are fantastic in other movies they just couldn't save this movie from being bad, it's just so boring. I don't understand the rating others gave it because for me it's one of the worst movies I've ever watched. I watch on average 300-500 movies a year and finally gave this one a chance and I really wish I didn't because it was a waste of 2 hours ill never get back. Everyone has their own opinions so give it a shot but for me it was absolute torture to get through.",2 "Let's start with the good things. The concept of the film to start with, is excellent which has a tremendous potential for a great movie. A dream star cast only adds to the potential of the film. And when it's Mani Ratnam, you can be rest assured of good direction and acting. So you enter the theater with sky high expectations. But alas…!! You find that most (if not all) of your expectations start falling straight on the face one after another. And by the time it ends you realize that the concept was the only thing remained good till that time. The story, which should have been the story of struggle, set backs and standing again, realizing dreams at all cost, manipulations needed for success and then maintaining success is trimmed to fit in two love stories and some entirely unnecessary songs. You cannot stop wondering what exactly Vidya Balan is doing in the film. And when a mature looking Abhishek Bachchan stands a delivers a emotional cum strong speech to none other than the chief magistrate of the inquiry commission, the attempt to copy Amitabh is very clear. You expect a better job from Abhishek now. Aishwarya is decent in her role. Mithun Da leaves a mark. Cinematography is A grade. But music, always a high point of Mani Ratanam's film is a let down this time. None of the songs would leave you humming the tunes. Its time to pull up the socks for A R Rehman. Overall a very average film. Its more disappointing since you go with hell lot of expectations. Don't expect too much and watch it, it definitely a one time affair.",6 "Kung Fu Comedy with a lot of CGI, that made Stephen Chow famous also outside of China, allthough that ""Kung Fu Hustle"" is one of his less hilarious movies with less dialogues and story, and either jokes, trama or speed is as great as his older movies, like King of Comedy, Fight back to school, God of Cookery and many others. Without Ng Man-Tat everything is just half of the fun.",6 "A lot of people really respect Guillermo del Toro, and like M Night Shyamalan, I'm not sure why. His Pan's Labyrinth movie was decent, but I swear the actor for Pan originally starred on Rotten.com as Goatse. This movie was boring, bland and tasted like undistilled salt water. It was about a romance between a merman and a lady. The basis for the film, Creature From the Black Lagoon, wasn't even as good as the children's book Teacher From the Black Lagoon, in my opinion. While both were black and white, one was a parody of ingenuity that pockmarked my youth with B-movie references, while the other was spoofy special effects thrown over the top of a flimsy sci-fi vehicle. The Shape of Water uses star power in the monster cast against the lack thereof in the main protagonists. It was boring, and unromantic. I recommend Guinea Pig: Mermaid in a Manhole.",5 "Ludo, is like a badly cooked ""khichadi"". No storyline, no consistency in scripting. No two scenes are coherent. 'Naa koi sirr Naa koi paer."" Poor direction. Bad photography and weak editing. A utterly confused director tries to link his own life's philosophy with four different stories which are not coherent and irrelevant. One of the worst movies ever made.",3 "Oh my God! Finally the wait is over. The much-awaited flick: FAN, is finally out in the theatres. The feeling what we all experienced when we all got to watch the trailer of the movie for the first time: Bedazzlement, remains intact post watching the movie as well. I'm not going to describe about anything in the movie as all the SRKinas cum non-SRKians deserve to enjoy this great movie in the theatres. Believe me, this flick is not only a treat for SRKians but for every fan of any celebrity in any corner of the world. For all the SRKians, this is the best movie Shah Rukh Khan has ever delivered in his entire career. There has never been doubt about his acting skills, but he has transcended all his competition through this movie.",9 "The movie was worth watching. It was SRK's one of the best performance after many not so good movies like Dilwale and Happy new year. SRK literally rocked both as Gaurav and the superstar. He played character of himself in some ways but the character was more arrogant than SRK really is. It was kinda difficult to decide on which side we should be up to the end, Overall it was an good movie with unique storyline in Bollywood and I think it was the only movie of SRK without a single song, The FAN anthem was only meant for the promotion and it was not in the movie itself. It was kinda awkward watching SRK movie which contain no song.",8 Great show but PARENTS DONT LET YOUR KIDS WATCH THIS TILL THEY ARE IN HIGHSCHOOL,3 "1st review... but this is my all time favorite movie. Love the plot, love the action, love the emotions... my children are now enthralled. I am guessing I am on my 20th time watching and it still gets me from beginning to end. Up there with crouching tiger but better...watch, watch, and watch again it really gets better when you think of the writing and that it holds up 20 years later...",10 "I didn't like so much this movie, I found it a little bit entertaining and interesting but at the end it didn't leave me anything special, but I am glad I watched it because of Laura San Giacomo's performance as Cynthia (she looks so sexy and cool in here), I can't believe she wasn't nominated for a supporting Oscar for her role. I didn't like James Spader performance, I found his character boring instead of mysterious or interesting. The plot is interesting but I think it could have been better developed specially the parts of the character of Graham. Ann and John are a young married couple who doesn't have sex anymore and John is cheating Ann with her sister Cynthia. One day Graham, a John's old friend, visits them and changes their empty lives with his videocamara which records women talking about their sex experiences ....... 6.5 stars = regular +",6 "Wait a minute, is this the outstanding film that everyone talked about? It seems that I saw a different movie: average drama-thriller, sometimes boring. Excellent sound, great visual effects, extraordinary cinematography, but... plain and lazy storyline.",5 "It had EVERYTHING you ever wanted in a show and even some things you didn't know you wanted. It made you laugh, made you sad, made you wistful and long for adventure, made you see the world in a different way, made you want to be alive but also made you sad and angry. No other animated show of the 2000's, no scratch that. No animated show ever created has had such an impact on such a large and widespread audience. There are people who still watch it completely at least once a year and even continues to gain fans from all over the globe not just the USA. All while so called ""adaptations"" fail to even compare. Maybe that's for the best as it will forever stay as the best loved series of a decade. The only good thing to come out of Netflix's absolute mistake is the creation of Avatar Studios. So hyped for what will come from the original creators.",10 "The show is well made and surprisingly does not shy away from more serious issues like racism and some light political critisism on hypercapitalism. The serious tone fit the subject matter well. You could feel how much baggage that shield carries for the Falcon. The chemistry between The Falcon and the Winter Soldier also worked and their friendship in the end was believable. Always nice to see Daniel Brühl which gives a very solid performance as usual. The characters are fleshed out, the villains motivations is understandable. All around another winner for Marvel with some above average action sequences for a TV show. I was entertained throughout. Just a little less shaky cam next time during fight scenes please.",8 "I am sorry to say I was disappointed in this movie. After all the hype and trailers for this movie I found it boring. I was expecting a war epic with much more action and more of a story line concerning the rescue of the all the men trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk. The attempt of the producers to have the audience bond with the characters, I feel failed. The only persons that I did felt connected to were the captain of the small pleasure craft and his son. These two coming from England to the beach of Dunkirk I enjoyed. There should have been more emphasis on the real story here, that being the hundreds of ships, small and large, that were the real heroes of this historic event.",3 "My mistake was seeing this movie expecting it to be a realistic depiction of war similar to Blackhawk Down. It is not. The movie is an action flick based on Iraq but is no better than any average action movie. Super soldier is an EOD tech that is also an expect at call of duty feats of running and gunning and movement assault that not even a delta force operator would emulate. I was severely disappointed by the marketing that portrays the movie as a realistic combat movie. It's just a far fetched action thriller that sits in line with movies like Armageddon is a portrayal of NASA astronauts.",2 "Having not played the games nor read the books, I went into this one with hardly any expectations. I was hoping to see more of the monsters that they kept claiming Geralt was infamous for killing, but I will say he was the strongest character of the show. The special effects and the mages plot lines did dip into Shannara Chronicles levels of teen angst. Good job overall by the writers creating a unique world.",7 "Sorry not for me, pacing is so slow, nothing really happens, subtitles required. Most overrated program I've seen in a long time.",4 "I loved it very much. Yes, there are differences with the books, but I think Lauren S. Hissrich did a really good job with these stories. Yes, some of them are ""rushed"" because they have only eight hours to tell these stories alongside the introductions of Yennefer and Ciri, but it really is a good show/season. It is not cheap at all like some like to say, I think those peoples have a hard time differentiating design and bad CGI/sets. It's Doomsday from BvS all over again. The monsters are good, but everyone cannot be please with the different designs. Henry Cavill is perfect as Geralt of Rivia. I hope for many more seasons because, honestly, this feels like it could be the role of his life. He worked very hard on every facet of Geralt, he lives and breathes this world an character. Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan and Joey Batey are all incredible in their roles. I really hope this show and the future seasons propulse them to stardom. They deserve it. Special mention to Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli, the score for the show is magnificent and powerful, as well as incredibly unique. So please, if you want to watch the show but you're not sure because of some negatives critics, just do it. Give it a chance and you'll see by yourself. No one should be influences by critics and opinions.",9 Not that good after first two episodes. Save yourself 10 hours and watch something else.,6 "Fun movie, but needed a double plot twist at the end instead.",3 "Sick images and enjoyable plot, I passed a good night watching this awful movie",7 "In the opening rift between our heroes Evan (Michael Cera) and Seth (Jonah Hil) on their drive to school, it is transparent from their explicit, crude, hysterical exchange that these graduating seniors want desperately to get laid before heading off to college. Theirs is a noble pursuit. Well, at least the honest pursuit for our geeky duo. Like the characters of ""Superbad"", the writers share their names, Seth Rogan (of ""Knocked Up"") and Evan Goldberg. Seems that ""Superbad"" is somewhat biographical, which lends insight. Amidst all the movie's outsider teen angst and exaggerated sexual bravado, Director Grag Mottola's ""Superbad"" is ultimately about growing up and lasting friendship. Mottola strikes a unique balance and tone. ""Superbad"" is definitely not for kids with its graphic language, sans any explicit sex; however, it is amazingly bitter sweet. For the creators of ""Superbad"", they ignored any conventions of taste and their story is boldly sentimental and personal. ""Superbad"" has an authentic ear for male teen speak. Smart and shy Evan expresses, ""Just imagine if girls weren't weirded out by our boners and stuff… That's the world I one day want to live in."" Yes, that would be a perfect world. There is a lot of funny stuff in ""Superbad"". Evan (Cera) and Seth (Hill) are childhood friends, who are about to graduate from High School. Evan and Seth also face separate futures. Evan is going to Dartmouth in the fall. Seth, unable to get in, will attend State college. These final weeks of High School for them represent their last chance to ""score"" before heading to college and their new lives. Evan and Seth are uncool geeks, though in a charming way. Evan is the tall smart silent dork, who is sweet on Becca (bubbly and cute Martha Maclsaac). Seth is the smart ass overweight kid, who has a non-zero chance of getting laid on his own, and is such a drama queen about not getting any. Seth hooks up with pretty Jules (spirited Emma Stone) in home economics class. Her parents are out of town, and she is throwing a party. Jules would be indebted if Seth can obtain alcohol from her party, ""You scratch our back and we'll scratch yours."" Classy Seth replies, ""Funny thing about my back… it's located on my…"" Suddenly, all relies upon Evan and Seth's buddy Fogell (very funny Christopher Mintz-Plasse), who has a fake Hawaii driver's license as organ donor McLovin. For those who have seen the trailer, the classic line is: ""Yes, I am McLovin."" However, something ridiculously goes wrong at the liquor store, and officers Slater (Bill Hader) and Michaels (Seth Rogen) are called to the scene. From this point high jinx and debauchery abound. Rogen and Goldberg's storytelling takes apparent tangential and hysterically tasteless turns, but there seems to be a point to the chaos. The telling betrayal is not about girls and sex, rather it is about friendship. To that end ""Superbad"" works, because of its strong performances and Mottola's natural direction. Michael Cera and Jonah Hill are amazing comedic partners. Although, they have their bitchy moments, their underlying love for each other in spite of themselves makes ""Superbad"" strangely poignant. Cera has a comfortable charm and innocence even in Evan's most uncool moments. He has a great line while pulling himself together,"" Calm down… She wants to suck on your…"" We have a genuine affinity and familiarity for Cera as Evan. Hill as Seth has the funnier lines. Hill is an amazing dorky smart ass. He also wisely tempers Seth's vulnerable side, and shows Seth's human side when he lets his guard down. Christopher Mintz-Plasse practically steals the movie as ""McLovin"". Mintz-Plasse has a nerdy ease and brilliance. What he does is play Fogell as a good kid, who just wants to be cool. As Fogell, he finds that he is cool, when he isn't trying so hard. He has a hysterical scene where he dances with hot Nicola (Aviva). The ending of ""Superbad"" got me. No worries—this does not give anything away. With all the hilarious raunch, the message is that things happen when they happen, and given a choice good people will do the right things. I did not expect that from ""Superbad"". It is a laugh out loud expertly written movie, well worth seeing. ""Superbad"" is the smart, funny movie of the year.",10 "This movie is very easy to figure out due to there being nothing to really figure out. Someone is killed, the murderer's identity is rather apperant throughout the movie and there's the obvious notion it's because of communism this all happens. The story bounces around to pact (a pact of 3 friends that stand up for one another. For what reason...not sure) There's a murder with very little intrigue. It trudges along with far too much dialogue, some dress up with dancing. The cast is incredible and they do their best to keep this movie afloat although there is only so much room on the door(Titanic pun😉) Look at all the Oscar winners on one screen!!!! Christian Bale stands out as he has the most demanding role. Margot Robbie is excellent but dang!!!!...her looks are so distracting. You cannot take your eyes off of her due to her acting abilities or her heart stopping beauty. Yet, the story trudged on. Then Bob arrives! A perfect part for him and he handles it with great care and attention. A prominent actor playing a prominent part in this movie, who better than Bob. This movie is far from a whodunnit and it's really not a mystery. In fact to a degree I found it more humorous. I do not regret watching it due to all the incredible talent.... I feel bad for all the people that expected much much more from this story after seeing an interesting preview.",5 "WWII obviously overshadowed ""The Great War"" especially in the states. The significance of the war on a geopolitical level. A shift from Monarchies to modern governments...and its complexities should be part of any core curriculum. That being said this is the most overrated WWI film since ""Saving Private Ryan"". The only part of saving Ryan that was powerful and well shot was the landing at Normandy giving a sense of how many allies died before getting to fight. The rest of the story was disinteresting. Since 1946 there have been so many WWII films that were overall just better films. Now there is really not a lot of American films on WWI....This is a story that's been told in different genres so many times...that it's a WWI film simply from the title. The Gold Standard for WWI and the horrifying trench war fare, with military officer egos lays best in Kubrik's Paths of Glory...there's no WWI film that comes close.",6 "Honestly, I loved the series. Both from an aesthetical point of view as from a story-telling point of view. But please, why did this series had to made in English. For me it totally ruined the immersion. I don't know why they didn't bother with using russian actors if the plan is to make a documentary on an event that happened in real life.",7 "I must have missed something because I got nothing but a very long, pointless, boring and uneventful movie on my screen. Talk about love and love BORING!!!",1 The incessant eating in this film and old men open mouthed chewing made it pretty unwatchable. I get that Martin Scorsese does the whole long dramatic cuts but its way over done in this movie especially with Pacino. Its just him staring and eatingn so loudly. Its hard to watch an old man mouth down some ice cream and smack his lips. Then the watermelon scene made me almost break my tv. Some fat guy sucking in watermelon so loud i had to shut the volume off and use captions. Cut to Pacino eating again and licking his lips. Its insane. So if you want to watch a very long movie about 77 year old men mouthing down some dairy product and suck steak from their teeth then this is the film for you.,2 "As a comic book writer myself, I was impressed by what, scrpt-wise, Joss Whedon and Zack Penn were able to do for ""The Avengers"". That movie both introduced and gave story-arcs for a whole score of superheroes (and supervillains) - while keeping the action propelling forward and developing the plot in a logical way. Then ""The Winter Soldier"" arrived, and the Marvel Universe raised the bar. In ""The Avengers"" the good guys were good guys, and the evil guys were either evil or misguided (and evil). ""The Winter Soldier"", instead, puts, front and center, a key question of our times: how much of your freedom you agree to sacrifice in change of ""protection""? And what happens if your ""protection"" falls in the wrong hands? The movie, by presenting both sides of the coin, also underlines a key conflict that ""The Avengers"" never recognised: the ""heroes"" are, of course, for freedom... but how many civilians were killed in the New York battle in name of a ""greater safety""? (Netflix's ""Daredevil"" partially deals with exactly this kind of fallout, and what is shown is not uplifting). So, discerning minds will notice both this kind of hypocrisy and the ironic fact that the same happens here too. This is the kind of movie where the bad guys may have a point... ""The Winter Soldier"" is a grounded throwback to the '70s ""paranoia thrillers"" like ""The Three Days of the Condor"" or ""All the President Man"". Robert Redford is not only a welcome presence, but the right actor with the right role in the right movie. A high point of the script is how it keeps the paranoia level high. You know that Nick Fury, Cap and Black Widow are the good boys - but there are enough other characters that are or maybe aren't on their side. That how the ""lines"" are really drawn is revealed through plot-twists is among the strongest parts of the movie. And then there is the ""Winter Soldier"" himself, a mysterious warrior who does seem to be as strong as Cap and similarly trained... One of the best (and most unconventional) villains in the whole MCU. The action is incredibly well-choreographed, with wide shots in clear daylight. Also, the general tension and unpredictability of the movie is present in the battles too: it is refreshing, for once to see a well choreographed superhero action without literally knowing how it will end. (This movie, BTW, does seem to have a fetish with cars, car chases and assorted exploding vehicles... maybe it is a throwback to the ""Bourne"" movies too...) I cut one point from my final judgement due to a single reason: this is and remains a MCU movie. You just know how it will end, and, in a plot full of twists, some of them remain very predictable. Also, why mention the problems of veteran soldiers returning from war zones only to totally drop the matter? (again, Netflix's ""The Punisher"" tackled the matter in a surprising mature way). One could point out that this is not that kind of story, but why bring up the matter in the first place, too, if not for only saying ""See? We are aware of it!"" ""The Winter Soldier"" still is, IMHO, the best written, directed and acted among the MCU movies (yes, I consider it superior to ""Guardians of the Galaxy I & II too). It stretched what you could do within the MCU to the limit. I'm not surprised that it was this movie, and not ""The Avengers"", the one that raised the bar for the following ones. It is also a nice self-contained story. If you want to watch a single MCU movie because you are curious about what all the fuss is, watch this one.",9 "The best thing about this show is the Trailer and the first few minutes of the first episode. The rest of the plot is bad, The 7 siblings almost not using their powers at all and almost it fills like the plot is all about them fighting with each other. The actors they chose for the characters are bad, I only liked the actor who played number 4. Elliot Page who played Vanya is playing poorly and just annoying to watch. As someone who loves this genre usually, this is a very disappointing tv show.",2 "And way too many names. Get pen and paper and draw a family tree. Because there are so many of them. And they get shuffled like cards in a poker game. Who is who and who with whom. The intention of being something else than Game of Thrones, something independent made it a Denver Clan of Westeros. A soap opera. The typical telenovela story, focused on a rivalry between two or more people or families in romance or business. The character development GoT stands in no comparison to any characters in House of Dragon. And the big time jump after half of the first season didn't help either. And while there is some tragedy in it, it can't compare with the death of Eddard Stark for example. Plus, the magic and those epic moments of Game of Thrones barely shine. It has to improve a lot to be a worthy successor.",7 "It is not bad series but its a really big disappointment. Acting is bad. Really bad. Only good one is ofc Henry and Freya. Rest of it is some kind of third class acting. Story line is one big mess. Jumping in the timeline in one episode is just ridicules not saying its just stupid. There are so many differences between here and books that some of it doesn't make any sense. Yen looks like some actresses from Bollywood films. In books she is described as a snow white skinned and beautiful. Here? Just leave it. Triss is just a joke. Red head in books here is just complete miss understanding. Also the actress is so rubbish its just unbelievable. You can keep going with this. Books are a masterpiece, characters are described in every details, dialogues are perfect. It looks like they took perfect setting and kick out all the good stuff, adding some stupid PC agenda BS (Fringilla) Everybody sounds the same. Bo matter if is from south or north of continent. Sounds exactly same. It could be perfect series. Because of setting and books. But netfilx just cheap out, made another stupid series for dumb masses. It could be best fantasy ever but it is not. It is average series with bad acting and dumb script.",2 "It's just not a very good show. Plot is weak and characters are unlikeable, especially Luther. The only redeeming quality is Aidan Gallagher's acting. Stayed for that as he did an excellent job portraying a man four times his age.",5 "I think I've never written a review here, but this one deserves it: a waste of human potential, a waste of money and, above all, a waste of time. This is the kind of movie that makes the world more miserable.",1 "This movie joins the likes of Dr. Strangelove, Citizen Kane, and 2001: A Space Odyssey . It's not clever at all and it's about nothing. Some mentally ill taxi driver boogies around at night - That's all. Most of the film is taken up by slow scenes, totally unrealistic dialogue and situations, and a totally unrealistic portrayal of New York, yet Taxi Driver is currently rated 8.4 on IMDb. There are two reasons for this: One is that wannabe gangsters will vote any film like this high, and the other is that people like Roger Ebert are the perfect example of a modern day Emperor's New Clothes. If the plot and script are nonsensical, they'll hail it a masterpiece and tell you that you are just too stupid to see the genius involved (for the record, 2001: A Space Odyssey doesn't have ANY story at all, but is still called ""deep""). Those of us with an ounce of sanity are not happy sitting through a film that's about nothing (with the exception of a few scenes with Jodie Foster, who plays an underage prostitute) and has a pace slower than a tortoise on whiskey. The acting isn't bad, but the talent is wasted on a script as crap as this. I'd only recommend watching this to tick the 'seen it' box.",3 "Mia is still coping up with her mother's suicide 2 years ago. Her best friend's family is giving her the emotional support she requires while she stays distant from her father. Mia and her friends, try the 90sec game with an embalmed hand which let's you talk to spirits and invite them to possess. If the 90sec cycle is broken then the spirit stays. Their fun ends tragically when Mia's best friend's brother Riley gets seriously hurt. What happens to Mia and Riley while they are at the mercy of the spirits forms rest of the story. Talk to Me is an honest attempt at horror genre and it is one of the reason why it leaves a strong impression. The main character is as hopelessly broken as one expects her to be. Spiraling in her own inability to get over her mother's suicide, she keeps pushing herself to the inevitable. It has a terrific first hour, setting the bar high with the perfect dose of horror and violence. It is the last 30mins that ends up being predictable. Even here, there are couple of scenes that stand out especially the climax. It is definitely among the better horror film to release in recent times and the first time directors needs to be lauded for their efforts as the film genuinely succeeds with the scare tactics. The short runtime helps too along with a good performances by the cast. It could've been better if it had reduced the predictability towards the end despite that, it was still a worthy watch.",7 "Wow, yes you need more words than that, but it's pretty concise. If this show was wonderful for the first 2 seasons then this season has been elevated to extraordinary!!!! Getting to see the team back together is only the beginning. To see Paul Rudd, a good bonus. The other real treat is Martin Short playing opposite the queen of Hollywood, Meryl Streep. We know he has always been a phenomenal talent. He's comedic talent spans decades. But to see his dramatic talent go head to head with Meryl Streep, wow! He is a true master! Not only will both the Emmy and Golden Globe committees be nominating Meryl Streep, but Martin Short for sure! Moreover, this season was a showcase of many talented singing artists, Steve Martin, Meryl Streep, Selena Gomez, Martin Short, it brings back Da'Vine Joy Randolph, who is a joy, pun intended, to watch. The show is a winner with a winning premise.",10 "I guess I has to be a thrill for the miss Gaga fans, but as per a movie itself it was the most predictable and boring as it could be. No twist no thrill... No emotion... Done by the book. Good interpretation but the story and the script lacked of originality and passion.",3 "I for one can not understand how christopher nolan fools studio executives into giving him money to produce so many terrible films. If they would only give more money to the sound crew, they might not turn the bass subwoofer & one note drone volumes up to 11 & the dialogue down to 2, so that no one has a clue of what is being said or going on. Every screening of this over long, 3 hour bass boosted dross should have sub-titled. You'd think lessons would've been learned from tenet & his previous movies but obviously not. I wish someone else would've made a coherent telling of such an important man & his story. 2/10.",2 "To whoever is reading this message: Stop everything and watch this film. It's so depressing and relatable that you won't believe it. I'm literally telling you that if you watched this film in your childhood, you need to watch it again now as an adult to understand how different and sad the story is. It's not a typical superhero film with obvious references, but rather it shows the character's struggles, problems, and decisions. I'm telling you that you'll relate to it so much that you'll feel like it's your own life story. Watch this film before any other shows or films. This film reminds us that the lives of normal people are no less than those of superheroes, and the struggles of normal people are often more challenging than those of superheroes. Perhaps that's why Spider-Man is our favorite superhero today.",10 "Very overrated, as a film with a beginning and a end i feel nothing. Some great acting from Leo but it feels wasted. The movies little twist was pretty obvious and it wasen't enough. Many good moments were cut and replaced with dragged out sceens. Anyway a movie that you don't feel anything from is pretty shallow, i love the era but it's not enough.",4 "This movie is so slow moving. I have never seen a movie so slow. I can't believe this movie is on the top 250. That's ridiculous. This movie is o.k., but several things are against. Immediately, the length is against it. Another thing, the villain, he is so not evil! i honestly liked him, not hating him. I think he could have done more efort like Willem Dafoe did in the prequel. i also hated the darkness of spider-man, his friends against him, losing jobs, having his lover engaged, and his aunt in money crisis. What sucks the most is is that he is unmasked. The effects were great, a 10/10 for those, the action sequences were excellent, and the ridiculous humor was laughable. the cinematography bothered me of being so dark. As i said, the hero should be positive, not negative. Also, the additional was bad, and the dramaitc motion images of him changing his life. Otherwise, an o.k. film. The prequel was much better. ""How's the bug,"" Osborne Jr.",3 "The dialogues are very long, and most of the time the characters during the two episodes are stuck on the table, it's like a stage show, and the actors had nothing to work with. The story and if it exists, it hasn't started yet!! Nothing there. Are you sure there is a story, events, suspense, cities, or kingdoms? Because I watched two completely empty episodes. I'm not sure why they decided to make earlier parts instead of a sequel that would have been a lot better, maybe Jon Snow would be a better show maybe. Lots of dialogue that didn't contribute to the story or move it forward. But there was no story to get interested in.",1 "Movie does not look like a True story. Lot of fictional drama. Making money from ""Desh bhakti""",1 "It's Michael Bay. You know what you're getting. Reynolds is his same old charming, charismatic, and funny self. He is supported by a mostly great cast in this movie. Story is decent, but the action is aplenty. 🎬",7 "What a truly painful film. It felt like it was never going to end. I couldn't have cared less about any of the characters or how the old bloke died. Amateurish acting and Daniel Craig's accent was shockingly bad. I always thought he was a good actor but after this shambles I have changed my point of view. The film dragged on and on and on with very predictable twists here and there, but due to poor character development and as all were totally dislikeable why would we care. Obviously we are supposed to root for the nurse but whatever. Don't believe the hype with this. It's boring, close up face shots throughout which would be better for TV, cringeworthy lead from Craig and no dynamic direction or cinematography. I'll never get that time back or money. Pathetic.",1 "The movie was extremely boring. I felt asleep in the middle and my spouse did the same. Most of colleagues who I talked to considered the movie non-entertaining and boring. Overall, It looks to me that Marvel decided that black people are under-represented in their universe, and considering the whole political movement made a movie to fill the gap. Unfortunately, IMO the attempt has failed. For me, the idea of high-tech city/country hidden in Africa was too non-convincing. The company I worked at paid for tickets. It also paid for kids from black community so they can see the movie. So, I guess that kind of actions helped to produce a fake interest to the movie.",3 """Love is the only thing that can resist space and time"" Before starting a conversation about Interstellar from director Christopher Nolan, it is necessary to agree that this film was originally built in such a way that it would be talked about, argued about, reviewed and continued to argue about it again and again. This is a debatable creation of an outstanding master and indisputable talent. A picture that everyone will perceive differently: someone from the side of religion, someone from the side of science, someone from the side of the soul. And to find out who is right and who is not is completely pointless, because ""Interstellar"" is a timeless and extra-spatial film. Now, having agreed on this, let's discuss how it will be possible to do this without spoilers. The plot introduces us to the Earth of the future, covered with dust and corn fields. Food is running out and the human race is in danger of extinction. A skilled pilot and father of two children is offered to lead a mission based on the real scientific work of theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, according to which Black holes are space-time tunnels leading to other galaxies and, accordingly, other worlds, one of which may be suitable for human life. . And then, to paraphrase a phrase from The Dark Knight, ""Nolan just doesn't happen."" Interstellar is first and foremost an experience. Of those for which the cinema was originally created. Therefore, it is important to watch it on the biggest screen you can get. The film makes exactly the same impression as the train of the Lumiere brothers should once have on the audience of the Grand Café in Paris. Indescribable in words, pressing into the back of the chair, turning inside out all the insides. An absolutely incredible image in its beauty and immensity, amazing sound, magical music by Hans Zimmer, electrifying acting work. Everything here is done at a very special outstanding level. The Nolan brothers' script covers so much at once that it's impossible to comprehend it in one sitting. Scientific theories and the fundamental laws of physics, emotionally touching to tears, warm lightening humor, philosophical questions and sayings, faith and an extraordinary sense of something fabulous are just around the corner. ""Interstellar"" is literally bursting with everything that the creators have put into it. It operates on a million different levels, blending an intriguing, compelling storyline built on ever-increasing stakes with deep, never-ending questions. Therefore, in the end, all this falls on you in a giant wave, literally sweeping you off your feet, enveloping you in hundreds of bubbles of various impulses, thoughts, ideas. The feeling when the movie ends is breathtaking. Wiping tears from your cheeks, you try in vain to realize where you are. It's like your mind has just been sent literally into space and they forgot to tell you how to return from the clouds to the earth. As for Matthew McConaughey, he continues to show his seemingly limitless talents. With him, you want to go deeper into space, he brings so much soul and feelings to the screen. It is worth going even further and stating that this is his best role in his entire career. Although not only he, but also Anne Hathaway, who gave out a poignant performance, quite unexpectedly surpassed herself from the musical Les Misérables. Jessica Chastain very organically combines the coolness of character with the vulnerability of feelings. Here, Casey Affleck absolutely does not stand out, but Michael Caine is still a very familiar, rich in experience and hardening excellent Michael Caine. And Nolan has prepared a very big unexpected surprise, which will undoubtedly pleasantly surprise everyone. If you still try to define ""Interstellar"" in some genre, then it will be not only an outstanding fantasy, but also an extremely tense thriller. Not only because of the many very action-packed moments, but also because of how masterfully they are filmed. Hoyte Van Hoytem should make a deep bow. Often the IMAX camera plays the role of a sort of GoPro, hung over the side of the spacecraft or attached to the actors' spacesuits. The resulting footage is beyond words, so they are both realistic and fantastic. Justified and full-scale complex and expensive shooting. The landscapes of the places where Nolan sends the audience along with the main characters are cosmically beautiful. It is almost impossible to believe that they found something similar on planet Earth. And quite successfully, hypnotically charming visual effects flow into the overall picture. There are moments in the film that will take your breath away without any 3D and other modern techniques. Gravity, with all of its Oscar-winning graphics, remains a mere memory stain compared to the all-encompassing grandiosity of Interstellar, not to mention the latter's millions of times more compelling plot. Speaking about the plot, however, it is worth noting or even warning that the third act of the film is something magically contradictory, incomprehensible and mysterious. This is something that undoubtedly went to the head of critics who wrote negative reviews. And this is exactly the same discussion part, even more reminiscent of such films as ""2001: A Space Odyssey"" by Stanley Kubrick, ""Close Encounters of the Third Kind"" by Steven Spielberg and even ""Inception"" by Nolan himself. This is a very relative philosophical dive into depths that many will simply be reluctant or afraid to explore, while others will be frustrated by the ultimate understatement and obscurity. However, going back to the very beginning, this is how the film was intentionally constructed. No answers, no clear positions, no limits to further imagination. And if you think about it, there is nothing beyond fantasy there. It's just something that has not yet been presented to the judgment of moviegoers. Something new, exciting, giving that feeling of the unknown, which is exactly what ""Close Encounters of the Third Kind"" is full of. That is why this Nolan film will be called delusional by some, but brilliant by many. Interstellar is a movie that you can talk about indefinitely, because it was created for this. It still needs to be comprehended for a long time after leaving the hall, for a long time to diligently try to calm the trembling, for a long time to at least somehow suppress the delight from what he saw. This is another intellectual blockbuster, so many of which Christopher Nolan gave to the world or just a chic fantasy film. Everyone will like at least one of the many advantages that he has. This is a revolutionary cinema that remains in history and memory, imperceptibly permanent and irreconcilably controversial. The way a masterpiece should be.",7 "While the direction, editing and sound design is top notch, the pacing really hurt this film. There are many moments where I sat there bored because a scene would go on for too long. And because the characters are not that interesting, I can't immerse myself into the movie. Would still reccomend seeing it for the direction and cinematography, though, because it is amazing.",6 "The first eight episodes of the series were incredibly well-crafted, and I found myself thoroughly engrossed in the thrilling storyline. The twists and turns were unexpected and kept me on the edge of my seat. However, even in the ninth and final episode, the plot continued to surprise me, and I found myself thoroughly invested in the story until the very end. Unfortunately, the last moment of the series was a major disappointment for me. After building up the story and characters so well throughout the entire season, the final scene felt like a letdown. It was a trashy ending that left a sour taste in my mouth and left me feeling unsatisfied with the overall experience. Despite the disappointing conclusion, I still believe that the first eight episodes of the series were fantastic. The writers did an excellent job of crafting a gripping and engaging storyline, and the actors brought their characters to life with great skill. It's a shame that the final moments of the series didn't live up to the high standards set by the earlier episodes.",6 "Like stated before it had an amazing start, very gripping... then the suspense and drama quickly fizzles out and we loose the drive and intensity to same humanity we saw at the first. That said, great adaptation, wonderful cohesion to the game. I really enjoyed the suspense in the beginning episodes... tension was palpable and very enjoyable. We get more backstory and information in the following episodes but we lose the sense of urgency we felt at the start but we do receive flashbacks with character context. These episodes are informative but lack the tension and action of previous episodes.",8 "Hooked up after the first episode, great comedy and great characters, all dipped in a proper mistery plot... awesome!",10 "I looked forward to this movie. It looked with the set design and the storyline a lot of fun. However, I must say. I don't understand how it made the money that it did because I just couldn't like it even though I really want to. It was too pretty to me it had an Agenda more, then entertainment Avenue. I don't want to be preached to I want to be entertained and as far as Ryan. I don't get the hoopla about his performance. I'm sorry, but this film did not do it for me at all. And i'm glad I didn't spend money in the theater for it. I didn't get a chance to see it in the theaters. I had to wait until it was on d. V. D and I heard so many things about it and they were confusing but I wanted to make my own mind up about it and I have to say even the rental of the d v d was the waste of my money and my time.",4 "Nothing like Knives Out which was a masterpiece of the century. The characters are all buffoons and puppets pulled and painted by Cancel Culture inquisitors. If it was the era of mccarthyism I'd say Glass onion was a dumb piece of communists' propaganda aimed to discredit rich capitalists. What purpose was it made now for? - Hell knows. I guess the only reason it was made for was to plant the idea that black not rich persons are naturally good and clever because BLM said so and white rich folks are all stupid assoles. This movie just screams at you that behind every Elon Musk or Einstein stands a brilliant black-skinned Mona Lisa who'd done all the work for which the white rich assoles took the credit. Who orders this dumb propaganda, who pays for it, who needs it?! Who thinks that Elon Musk characters conceive their businesses hanging out in bars with their pals? The picture blows up every logical concept of how we live on every Planck length of the film. Glass Onion is the glass onion of itself, it is so unbelievably phony and cartoonish that one can start thinking that it may be actually mocking Hollywood cancel culture inquisitors and BLM, maybe it's kind of Matrix 4 movie made purposely so bad so that no one would attempt a sequel. One thing pains me the most - the waste of money and talent. Because the work of the artists and scene decorates and costume designers in Glass onion is amazing, it's gorgeous, it is so talented so exquisite in every little detail (like in Knives Out) that it half-way redeems this stupid movie, the stupid plot. I don't listen to the blabbering of the actors, I don't watch their phony play, I watch the house and inbreathiate.",2 "A cut above the typical comic book movie, S-M 1 did what this type of movie is supposed to do: introduce the main characters, have 'em fight a Super Bad Guy, and then have it all end happily ever after, for the most part. In other words, for the first movie in a supposed franchise, you have to allow time for exposition of the protagonist's background, even if millions already know him from another medium. With S-M 2, though, such an obligation isn't necessary. We've met Spidey, MJ, Aunt May, et al., and we're ready to jump into a new story. So while the first one explains why Spidey is, the second movie devotes more time to fighting the Bad Guy du Jour, Doctor Octopus. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) still pines for MJ (Kirsten Dunst), from whom he steers clear despite his undying affection for her. It's for her own good, he tells himself. If we're together, my enemies will top at nothing to get at me through her, and I can't put her in that position. And so, in typical superhero fashion, he broods and broods and broods. The relentless push-and-pull between his love for MJ and his devotion to using his powers for good is a constant theme in the Spider-Man universe, and in the movies it either smolders in the background or charges with a raging fury to the forefront. Peter is given the impossible choice - true love or good deeds - and it's a choice to which, at its core, everyday people can relate; we all have exceedingly difficult choices to make throughout our lives. And in this especially, the movies succeed. Peter Parker is supposed to be an average teen - well, except for those powers he has. He's not morally superior. He's not smarter. He's just a poor schlub who accidentally has these super powers, and he doesn't quite know how to deal with them. On a smaller scale, a comparison can be made to a supremely talented collegiate football player who's just made it to the pros. He has otherworldly talents. He has money, fame, fortune. And can he handle it? About as well as Peter can. Anyway, the big villain here is the aforementioned Doc Ock (Alfred Molina), yet another in a long line of Good Scientists Gone Wrong. You may recall that the Green Goblin from the first S-M movie was also of this line. This Doc has found a way to manipulate metallic tentacles with his mind. (It helps that the tentacles are physically attached to him.) Something goes wrong, he goes mad, and next thing you know it, he's gonna take over the world. Give these boys a Happy Meal, and they'd still want two prizes. Along with the inevitable Spidey-Doc Ock battles, Peter Parker's best friend Harry (James Franco) is still quite resentful as Spidey's killing of his father in the first movie. He doesn't know Peter is Spider-Man, but he knows only Peter is able to take photographs of him. So the second thematic struggle is within Harry - does he resent his friend for knowing the murderer (in his eyes) of his father? All of the cast returns from the first movie (well, all that survived the first movie), and they all do a collective good job. Maguire is a perfect choice for the lead; he's unassuming, can't really emote, is stoic, and even a little bit wimpy. All are qualities that plague the characters of both Spider-Man and Peter Parker.",8 "I came to see this movie with great expectations, after all it was a David Fincher's movie with an unbelievable cast! I was so disappointed... The actors play their roles wonderfully! Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo and specially Robert Downey Jr. But there is no character development. But where Zodiac fails the most is in capturing the viewer. The movie is too long, and the story is told in a way that it won't make you hold on to your chair hoping to see the case solved, as any good detective story will. Most of the public will hope the case is solved so they can stop watching the movie as soon as possible, because unfortunately, it's boring! It isn't exciting or troubling as a thriller should be... This movie had the potential of being really good, it's unfortunate that it fails so much!",5 "Doesn't suck to bad. I absolutely despised Paul Rudd in green Lantern so I was wondering how this movie would be, not Green Lantern bad it isn't ha horrible as Ang Lee's Incredible Hulk. Paul Rudd does a good job handling the character, however let's be honest if it weren't for the graphics that is Green Lantern's costume there would be no character. I wasn't a big fan of either Deadpool movies profanity and going for the lowest common denominator doesn't make for a good movie, just my opinion. Remember Christopher Reeves in the original Superman movie no need for profanity in that movie. Not a kid friendly movie so beware.",4 "Family with super powers hustling through every situation in a rather fun atmosphere. Umbrella Academy managed to keep that signature style in season 2 also. The screenplay sometimes makes you think about the word obvious but at the end it works as the elevation of the show. Overall Umbrella Academy season 2 gives you a complete package that contains time traveling stuff, drama, humor, and comedy which is worth a watch at least once.",8 "There definitely is a simple reason this show is as recognized and praised at it is: It's a masterpiece. Revolutionary to it's genre in every single way and filled with deep, complex and meaningful messages and themes that are carried through some of the most engaging, well-rounded and well developed characters I've seen in any animated series, A:TLA certainly stands out not only in the long list of Nickelodeon shows, but it also holds a special place in the history of animation itself. The setting is simply magical. The creators managed to create a world filled with beauty as well as an intriguing fauna and flora. And yet, believable due to it's cultural and ethnic diversity and complexity, Action? Yes, it's present, but the best thing about it? Avatar carries it in a FRESH way, unlike most ""mindless action"" shows out there (like most of it's elements) and with enhancing touches of Asia all over it. That results in action packed scenes that keep the viewer on the edge, but are also beautifully designed based on traditional martial arts style. On top of it all? Gorgeous and detailed background art and beautiful animation in a unique mix of eastern and western style bring said world to life, and surprisingly clever dialog seal the deal and turn this show into an epic adventure with a solid plot executed as close to perfection as this humble reviewer has ever seen.",10 "I watched this on DVD. The first half of the movie seemed like it needed an intro as to why the world was so devastated. Also why there were no threat of violence from gangs hoarding all the resources like most other apocalypse movies? Nice human touch, but not realistic. We don't know anything about the planet except for the slice of life of a dozen people. What happened to the weather patterns? Strike one. How does the space team manage to get their hands on all the fuel needed to launch multiple rockets if there is not even enough food to feed whoever is left on earth. Strike two. The middle of the movie was the best part. Their journey was engaging and scientifically reasonable. The ending with Morse communication was snake oil and mirrors. Where did that multi-dimensional structure come from? Seemed like it came from 2001 Space Odessey. Strike three. The plot leaps from grounded science to Twilight Zone too often for me. Before the movie I was wanting to give it a high grade, but I don't think I'll even watch it again. Anne Hathaway bumps it up a notch.",6 "Very primitive and boring dialogues that do not push the plot, just empty philosophical reflections. I watched the first season and started watching the second. I got the impression that there was no plot at all in the series. I didn't read the source, but I'm sure there had to be a plot that leads the characters somewhere. I will not say anything about the skin color of the characters, since this is apparently a new requirement in the film industry that producers must comply with. The characters have very strange contact lenses of very poor quality. In my opinion, this greatly reduces the naturalness and discourages looking at faces. The costumes are very good, the film design and graphics are also pleasing, so I gave it 4 stars.",4 """Life in space is impossible"" Acclaimed Director Alfonso Cuaron's much appreciated and raved about ""Gravity"" opens with these 5 words . Ironically, Cuaron goes on to prove that even with a master like him at the helm, it is possible to make a substandard film. It is shocking that Cuaron who is usually known for his memorable characters and gritty portrayal of human relationships has come up with such a marginal script (co scripted with son Jonas) and absolutely no gripping characters. Sample this - Sandra Bullock's Dr Ryan Stone is the last person who deserves to be on any mission forget a critical space mission. Given that she is prone to panic attacks and her first reaction to any situation is negative, chaotic and that of hopelessness. At worst, Dr Stone is a nervous wreck and at best she is following orders without questioning. Old Jungle saying – if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. What in the name of Prometheus is Dr Stone doing in space? Watching Dr Ryan Stone fumble her way through space made me instantly crave for Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) from ""Alien"". George Clooney's mission commander Matt Kowalsky is well, George Clooney, throwing his one liners with panache and being the gorgeous, sexy , funny counterfoil to dim witted, slow and helpless Sandra Bullock. Background score from Steven Price makes sure that we all know in advance when a perilous event is just waiting to happen. Price overwhelms us with the music, instead of intelligently using the loneliness, the vacuum and the deafening silence of space at crucial moments in the movie. With such one-dimensional characters and predictable linear storytelling, Director Alfonso Cuaron's salvation comes from fellow Mexican, old partner and Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki Morgenstern (The Tree of Life, Children of Men, Sleepy Hollow) who shows us in all its glory and fright what it must be to float in space. This is as real as any of us ordinary mortals can come to experiencing space first hand. Lubezki is the shining star of this space misadventure. And it is for his contribution mostly that I award ""Gravity"", 7 out of 10. Otherwise, Alfonso Cuaron's ""Gravity"" mostly just sucks. My top 3 space movies continue to be ""2001: A Space Odyssey"", ""Contact"" and ""Apollo 13"".",7 "The Change-Up is a good movie with a well developed storyline and a great comedic cast.It was certainly a lot if fun to see Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds switching bodies and trying to deal with being the opposite person that lives a completely different life.The first hour of the movie is certainly really funny,but the second half,when it's starts trying a bit too hard to get sweet gets a but irritating,I understood having some heart of course but I felt like when it tried to be too emotional it ended up stretching out to movie to a length that wasn't necessary,the movie is two hours long and it really should have been just an hour and thirty minutes.I felt like the writers were trying to hard to make us feel sorry for these characters while still be a comedy,which didn't work out because the characters personality and the movies set up is just too goofy to really feel sorry for them trying to coup with being a different person.It has its flaws and it's definitely overlong,but the Change Up is still an enjoyable movie that I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun comedy if you have some time to kill. Two friends magically swap bodies after they envy each other's lives,only to realise the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Best Performance: Ryan Reynolds",7 "Stopped watching because i got bored after 120 mins This might not tell the entire story but.. If J. K. actually signed off on this she must be getting senile or be in massive debt. I could not make heads or tails from this story. the entire thing feels like a cash and grab, while the first FB still felt a bit like a tribute. . Dumbledore CHECK, reassured likeable no maj character(Jacob Kowalski) CHECK. other successful elements from HP movies CHECK.... the thing that bothers me the most is that jou probably could create a fantastic story here if the story had a been more chronological and have a slower development. they should just have taken the time for some quality control. this all feels like they try to force you 3 books into 1 film. and why a Jacob Kowalski resurrection? (likable yes but...) he is just a major distraction and ruins the style of the movie. he does absolutely nothing to progress the storyline. i think this movie is an insult to fans that grew up with the original ""Wizarding world""...... since CGI became cheap it doesn't mean we want cheap CGI movies. very big applause for the actors, editors and setbuilders btw. no remarks on that every scene looks great 👌",4 "Sometimes in this life there are things beyond criticism, the Mona Liza for example or Turners rain steam and speed or Chaplin in The Kid. Masterpieces all, no debate right? Then there are products is one soap powder really better than this other, or a $1000 perfume can it really be better say than one at a mere $10, beauty they say is in the eye of the beholder! So they say. Then there is this new mega movie Avengers Infinity War, now i would take issue with anyone that this is actually a movie at all, it is a consumer product the must see/ have accessory for the moment, Pre-sold, Pre-packaged to a ready made audience desperate to spend their money, it is just another fashionable element in today's throw away age. Telephones i believe are sold this way, at least this is how i see the commercial world of now. Now, i know my views are in total opposition to the frankly ridiculous high score's on this web site, and please don't think i am not grateful, my local multiplex needs big profit films to survive and hopefully prosper so the likes of me can see proper films that are real cinematic experiences but make next to no money, usually that's the fate of most superior films these day's! Can i be positive in any way about this Marvel, well i saw it in 4DX & 3D, the chair swam and jolted, there were lights, flashes, and sprays or did i imagine the last one, oh yes, the sound was loud, very very loud. and Oh yes do not forget, it is extremely long, very very long, like a bad flight across the Atlantic but without the benefits of a helpful service attendant's tray. Did i enjoy it? in any way, well no, just too much of a good thing, i like sugar in my tea, but 32 spoons is to much! This i will call it for ease, a film, it just had too much of everything. Now, i can just imagine steam boiling over from most readers that i am clearly to old and out of touch, but i argue not so, the trailer for Deadpool 2 was so funny and inventive that i am eagerly awaiting this release. As for all these many many super hero's to numerous to remember and to numerous to mention, i do have a question for superhero's obviously adoring public the question is, are the comic books any better?",3 Action is very good in the movie and no doubt the cast is good but there is no story in the movie. The kid wasn't very good in acting. They tried to give an emotional connection between the kid and our hero but you won't feel a thing. Watch it if you don't have anything else to do.,6 "Some of the decision making in this series was actually quite offensive, I found myself watching through my hands in disbelief. In fact towards the end of the series as I forced my way to the end, I thought I should call a doctor as I considered it to be self harming. On the plus side the visuals were pretty awesome. Netflix, please try harder and don't even think about remaking Bad Boys!",4 "The cast is a huge fail for me, so many holes between Wolverine 2013, this sequel stands in an alternative universe. The layers that could have been applied were just a pile of snowballs, pitched for aggressive fun, regardless if they all hit the mark. Dafne Keen, Logan's co-star, a Spanish 11 year old actress stole the show, similar to Interview with the Vampire's Kirsten Dunst. Bottom line, this is a ride in a Bugatti Chiron with no Windows down, or air conditioning. Just depressing suffocating violence.",6 "Lost in Space is a beautiful show that is hampered by subpar character Actions that undermine the believability of the show. A dangerous planet yet children allowed to wander anywhere, disobey instructions and put family members at jeaopardy at will. Highs and lows but some really cringworthy story arcs and writing decisions. Hope for improvement.",6 "Never read the books, but the show sounded interesting. It's not interesting. It's terrible. Quite possibly the worst show ever make. The writing is incredibly bad. It's so filled with tropes and cliches that it could easily be mistaken for a parody. I've seen a couple of the actors before and none of them were bad in what they were in. None of them are good in this. Anyone giving this show more than 3 stars is either lying to themselves or is being paid. I have no idea how this show has 3 seasons. I couldn't make it through one episode, although I came close - but the over the top ""tough guy"" witch in a classroom scene near the end of the episode did me in. It's comically bad.",2 "Talk to Me is a stone cold classic of the horror genre. It feels fresh, thrilling, absorbing, and has a brilliant concept at its core. The story follows a group of friends who play around with the occult, contacting the spirit world through a mysterious ceramic hand. As you might expect, things go off the rails quickly and insidious activity ensues. The way the story is set up is superb, giving a fresh spin on a somewhat tired horror trope and bringing it into the 21st century with style. It contains a strong collection of characters with great performances behind them all and solid writing that doesn't feel cliche or tired. Stylistically I think the film is superb, with the direction on point. There are some neat creative flourishes and a brilliant use of sound, both of which really contribute to the overall atmosphere, which is one of constant suspense and unease. I don't think the film is particularly scary, relying more on body horror and disturbing imagery, but it is very unnerving and tense nonetheless. The only reason I'm not scoring this higher is that I think some of the concepts could have been taken a little further, and some of the horror dialled up a notch, but these are minor criticisms really. Talk to Me is one of the most refreshing and engaging horror films I've seen in a while, and will be sure to be a treat for any horror fans out there.",8 "I can't understand all the high ratings, it was so boring and the acting sucked. The end was soooo lame I can only be glad there are no more seasons.",3 "Good actors but boring movie, would have liked to see more action, no emotion,",4 "Thank goodness I didn't waste my money in the theatre. But at the same time, I lost 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back. I was drawn to this movie because of the cast, and was severely disappointed that Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Irons would partake in such a terrible movie. I think that the only people that are giving this movie good reviews are those who approve of sex violence against women or complete conspiracy theorists who believe Russia is a country full of satanic devil worshippers. Absolutely horrible!",1 "The film disappointed me. The story being told is truly shocking and terrifying, but it is poorly conveyed. Important details were not taken into account in the film. I have seen many better war movies.",5 "The first movie was really good in almost all way, but this sequel improves all the good quealities the first one had and even adds more good things. The fight scenes are better, the visual affects haven't aged a bit, the story is even more interesting and engaging, the comedy is gold, etc. It tells a classic spider-man story but in the best way possible, and you will never get bored while watching it.",9 "An absolutely hilarious attempt at politically correct movie making masquerading as a ""horror"" movie. Do not waste your time falling for the hype. This one is a real stinker chic flick. The mass hysteria lies with the audiences and media who are applauding this bomb. I watched the whole thing and was barely able to contain myself from also committing the ultimate act.",1 "One of the highlights of American 1990s cinema, FARGO has a lean, often violent, but mostly hilarious script, as dazzling as the snow which fills so many of the movie's frames. Cosy in bed with husband Norm (what a perfect name!), with baby on the way, everything is as it should be for our investigator Marge, unforgettably played by Frances McDormand. Then the phone rings. If it isn't a brutal crime, it's a crazy guy she used to be at school with. Marge finds it all incomprehensible. But out she goes, with seemingly effortless courage, trying to level the world out when it goes off kilter. There are many echoes of Ealing comedy in the Coen Brothers' work, and FARGO's bungling bad guys could easily have come from the pen of William Rose, who created THE LADYKILLERS. It's no wonder Joel and Ethan went for a remake. The icing on the FARGO cake is an excellent score by Carter Burwell. A wonderful movie.",9 It is a ok kind of movie. It is over hyped beyond its worth.,6 "The exceptional background music given to the movie on the twists and turns was the highlight for me. I don't usually write reviews, but after watching the movie it would feel unfair not to appreciate the amazing and thrilling content I have watched. The pace of the movie is 10/10 and it keeps you engaged. Even though the background music is used almost throughout the movie but it is not annoying. The direction was superb and so was the acting by almost everyone, especially Rajkummar and Huma; a new combo. Vasan Bala has done a great job, and so has Achint Thakkar. Bollywood has given some absolute gems in Dark humor like Ludo, Andhadhun, Darlings, and now Monica, O My Darling. Believe me, Monica is a Darling.",9 "I love Science Fiction/Fantasy and have been reading and collecting this genre for many (many) decades and I love watching it played out on screen. I know very little of the Moon Knight back story so I'm not too worried with the plot being true to the comics, I've focused on how engaging the story is. I've stuck with it too episode 4 but that will be it. It's a lifeless series, relying on myth and jokes to bring it to life instead of the story. The whole thing feels like a Dan Brown book with everyone running around discovering little nuggets of knowledge except this isn't even that good. The story is fractured and I find myself not caring about the characters. I see elements of The Mummy, Indiana Jones and the jokey MC Universe trying to make up for this. Not a fan.",2 "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! I highly recommend it to everyone, especially to the mystery lovers. Bollywood finally landed a good movie. Good work by the lead cast and vasan bala. I don't care if its inspired or ripped of from 2011 Japanese tv movie its a great venture. I hoped the movie went on and on, at some point i thought ending is unsatisfactory but then they gave a good twist and ended on a perfect note. I wish to see more such movies in the future which might not be true unfortunately seeing the standard bollywood has become some times it felt to just go on to emphasize some more on the twist but that's probably just filmmaking choice. At some points it felt like a quentin tarantino movie which is commendable.",9 Story was really good but the editing and scenes seemed out of place. The background music was horrible.,6 "I came to HOTD in hopes the new series would redeem the damage done to the prior series. Lost is the political intrigue of the previous GOT. There was a hint of this initially but now it appears as though the story is far more one dimensional. Milly Alcock and Matt Smith were the stand outs, but now Alcock is out and replaced by a frumpy Emma D'arcy. Storyline has quickly become convoluted. The choice to rapidly swap out actors much older than the prior ones has further changed the dynamic. Milly young and full of life. Emma sour and stoic. Would've preferred a gradual aging and a continuity in personality. Warning to show writers: Expediency in the end killed ALL respect D&D had built in the original GOT. Let the story unfold. Less dragon. More dialogue and story that the franchise was known for. It is still early and I have not given up but this storytelling is nowhere near as intriguing as early GOT. If the show runners don't bring their A-game they will quickly lose this viewer.",4 "One of the most overrated series , Nothing in the series seems to be reality , Recommending you to watch other series.",2 "Based on the award nominations and general hype there were some serious high expectations for this movie. Clearly it didn't live up to it You can tell from trailers this is more of a light, action drama. But if it wasn't for the fast unnecessary graphic edits or bizarre side scenes that didn't make any logical sense, it might've actually been an average ok film. Still, no actors deserved any recognition for their roles. The acting was flat without real emotion. The script was stereotypical and predictable. The editing was nonstop and migraine inducing. I couldn't wait to finish it. What a waste of time.",3 Beautiful storyline which is full of suspense & some romance as well.,10 I sooo looked forward to this to get a Marvel Fix now Avengers has Expired and the Mandalorian for now so I wanted to get stuck in to a new a series but and it's a big BUT this is not what I signed up for🙈 Absolute Train Wreck in my opinion and It's like Watching Leave it to Beaver but without Beaver or Bewitched (which was Actually funny in its Day)😮yet instead we get 2 dysfunctional comedic Black and White TV Adults with childish humour and Seriously what is the Point of this. It was painful to watch regardless of being the first episode and I switched off long before the credits.Nope it's definitely Not for me and Hugely Disappointing.Marvel This was a Mistake on an epic Scale.Where is there some paint Drying I can watch as I'm sure it's more entertaining than this!!! 1/10 is generous.,1 "good technology use, once again, either it is Transformers, S.P.Man, Evengers or Batman......ultimately we go to see technical aspect....just play few video games if you rather want to save some $$$. You may end up finding the similar technology war and stunts that we have been watching in all last 5 yrs of Sci-fi movies. I would rather stop watching these movies and save some money towards good story/drama oriented creations. It has been enough on technlogy war movies. it feels so ordinary nowadays. get some good story movies, more realist message oriented to improve the community around and deliver right message in the society. Not that I want to discount any hard work put on by actors in such movies but they should know that ppl understand such typical money making hype era.",5 Fantastic series and well drawn characters that fit in,8 "I am not exaggerating when I say that this is one of the most boring films that I have had the displeasure of watching this year. I am very glad I sneaked into the cinema to watch this, otherwise I would be writing an angry letter to the writers to ask for my $18 back. It was nearly 3 hours of boredom. I literally had to stop myself from falling asleep about an hour in. I struggled through, expecting something spectacular towards the end, but to no avail. The fight scenes were shockingly bad and although well choreographed, lacked any realism (e.g. I didn't see one drop of blood on anyone after they had been shot multiple times). Also every single scene where Bane speaks you have to listen very hard to understand what the **** he is saying. I am not just writing this review because I don't like Batman. I loved the 1997 film, Batman and Robin and I could watch that again and thoroughly enjoy it.",5 "Where can I even begin? The fear of everything ""Russia""? The ""book"" that this ""movie"" is based on that claims that it's all true? The fact that instead of feeding the homeless, someone dumped 70 million $$$ on this dumpster fire? I'm used by now to Hollywood releasing fear fueled anti Soviet/Russian propaganda, but this one takes the cake. First, where the hell is this taking place? Europe in this looks like it's 2018 while ""Russia"" looks like it's 1970 at best. The acting is all over the place, especially all the fake Russian accents. I mean cool, you want to make a propaganda film about Russia and you can't actually use Russian speaking actors to do it because they would laugh themselves to death if they read the script, so why do the Russian thing at all? The look of the film is trash as well, I know the filters are there to make the ""movie"" look dark and gloomy, but it just looks like someone got sick on the camera lens. No one actually stopped to ask while filming if this is how real people act anywhere? This ""movie"" pretends to tell a ""true story"" from a ""book"" written by an ex CIA agent, going with the ""well, if he wrote it, then it must be true!"" reason. Honestly, this makes every fantasy movie into a documentary in comparison. I won't say don't watch it, because it's up to you to decide, but I cannot with a clear conscience recommend this to anyone. PURE GARBAGE!",1 "Tom Hanks is a wonderful actor but he didn't deserve the Oscar. Anyone could have done that. In fact, it's blasphemy this movie won best picture especially over Shawshank Redemption or Pulp Fiction. Forrest Gump is too saccharine and the quotes are too annoying and simple.",1 Captain America: Civil war was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. There was a surprising amount of depth and emotion to the movie with exploring Steve Rogers' conflict with the title of Captain America and his complex relationship with Bucky Barnes and Tony Stark. The performances were another thing that really impressed me. The action sequences were gripping and I was very happy with the way the Russos managed such a huge cast.,9 "The uninspired dance routines. The over-the-top body language and facial expressions. The utter lack of subtlety. The clumsy, lousy dance routines. I just hated it all. Gosling's acting was bearable, definitely the most talented, believable actor in the movie. Emma Stone has a decent voice, but is no dancer. So she was honestly a very odd choice for the lead. A few fair moments, but mostly just a disappointment.",2 "S4 of Stranger things has matured along with the show. It is actually violent, at times genuinely horrifying and fun all at the same time. While some of the acting is minorly subpar, it is met with fantastic acting, brilliant looking shots, awesome makeup and practical effects, a great sound choice for every scene and a convincing bad guy. It deals with the vast amount of characters really well by sectioning them off into 3 different groups which gives us refreshing moments when maybe we spend too much time with a certain group. This season wasn't absolutely perfect, there was very minor things but there isn't quite enough to derail the show. This season (1st volume) is by far the best they have produced. As a season this is easily a 9/10 and a series of an 8/10. As long as they stick the landing and volume 2 lives up to the first, this will easily be a 9/10 series. It's a long watch but I highly recommend it and it is a show I would even recommend getting Netflix for at this point. Volume 2- Only two episodes but basically a shorter movie and a long movie worth of content. Volume 2 pick up right where volume 1 left... as you would expect. I feel like the new more mature version of Stranger things that volume 1 brought kind of went away mostly. While there's some stuff there, I feel like they loaded this with plot armor and a wanted to make sure of a season 5. It almost feels originally this would be the last season but then volume 2 was their way of ensuring there would be another season. I'm not sure why they chose to shy so far away from the mature side, especially how well it worked in volume 1 but this was a drag at times and underwhelming to say the least. One more season to go, all I can do is hope they listen to the reception with volume 1 and show a pair with their characters for once. I'm so tired of the gotcha's. Volume 2 is a 7/10 Keeping the series at S1- 8/10 S2- 8/10 S3 7/10 S4V1- 9/10 S4V2- 7/10 Series total- 8/10.",8 "Why destroy it by inventing a plot that never occured, a true fake ""based on reality"" production. What a sad waste.",2 "This is my first review even though I have been a member here since late 90's early 2000s. This is due to the fact that I don't understand the love for this movie. This movie stumbles about trying to figure out how to be a road trip movie with a western genre landscape and superhero theme. The result is a pretentious sloppy mess that takes itself too serious while giving very little regard to the films that led to this one. The fans that requested an ""R"" rating did so with the thinking that it would open up the film to be more free with the character. Instead it felt like it was pigeon holed into justifying the R rating from the senseless breast flashing to random F-bombs that don't fit the characters as presented previously in the last 17 years. The 2:21 run time seemed to drag past three hours as I felt a lack of empathy for any of the characters as they are not fully developed and flushed but rather used as props for beautiful shots against the desert and country roads of Mexico and rural America. Logan's disregard to the other characters in the film was forced and lacked any connection to the empathetic character we were introduced to in the original X-Men film in which we were introduced to a character that felt compelled to help Marie D'Ancanto after encountering her on the road. Logan, though he has tried to be a loner, never really was a loner without any empathy. That is until this movie and the motivation for this lack of empathy towards a little girl and her issues is troubling as a movie goer. I can not find a reason to recommend this movie or to see it again outside of the beautiful cinematography throughout the film.",4 "This is the most Over-hyped movie in history! i went to see it because of the great reviews, but ended up bored to death. The characters are blend at best, there IS NO STORY whatsoever! You cannot emotionally get attached to no character because they have no backstory, Clooney, just accepts to sacrifice himself for Bullock, simply because... it happens like that, no goodbye no nothing. There is NO CHemistry between the 2 of them, they don't even know each other! Bullock HAS NO FAMILY, NO KIDS, nothing waiting for her back home, once she makes it back, she just smiles a bit, raises and goes away. No crying, no hysteria of happiness for feeling the ground under her feet. THe acting is mediocre at best, i don't understand why these praised critics dare to say Oscar and Bullock, i guess the movie makers payed off a bunch of people to make this movie great on the internet. This is a DOCUMENTARY AT BEST, and not even a good one! THere are LOTS of mistakes, and about the space shots, i watch documentaries and sci-fi since i was 12, i really have seen them all, and i can say in good faith that you can see MUCH better universe shots in Through the wormhole, or the universe of BBC's.",2 "The film won the Oscar for the first time in the history of Korean films. I wondered where it was better than other Korean movies, so I went to see it. To be honest, I'm disappointed. The film is too stereotypical and many plots are stiff. There's a lot better than this movie, and I can' t understand it won the Oscar.",2 Droll. With a perfect choice of music. Very good alternative to the Marvel-Overload.,9 "Talk to Me tells the story of a group of teenagers namely, Mia(Sophie Wilde), Jade(Alexandra Jensen), Riley(Joe Bird), Hayley(Zoe Terakes), Joss(Chris Alosio) & Daniel(Otis Dhanji). Mia, Jade & the rest of the gang find a never-seen-before method to summon the dead, using a cursed embalmed hand. However, things go awry when someone pushes the boundaries of what they should do with the malevolent hand. Talk to Me is a jaw-dropping film. Directors Danny Phillippou & Michael Phillippou have given us a movie that is terrifying right from the word go, & not because of the cliched horror tropes. This film is a psychological horror movie, with absolutely no jump scares. It's cerebral & subversive in the best way possible. However, if you hate extreme gore or horror movies in general then, you shouldn't watch this one. Right from the word go, you will be on the edge of your seat throughout & the film absolutely doesn't let up, until the credits roll. The use of only practical effects instead of the same old boring CGI, takes up the scare quotient to an extreme level. Sophie Wilde is awe-inspiring as Mia. Wilde shines in her first lead role & has a long & bright future ahead of her, in Hollywood. Alexandra Jensen is spectacular as Jade. Joe Bird is mind-blowing as Riley. Miranda Otto is spectacular as Sue. Zoe Terakes is awesome as Hayley. Chris Alosio is good as Joss. Otis Dhanji is fantastic as Daniel. The supporting cast is excellent. Talk to Me is a must watch for horror movie buffs. Watch it on the big screen & prepare to be spooked out of your mind!",10 "I have heard that Mr King gave his blessing to this project. With the exception of the first episode, this has changed greatly from the book. Most times, you can't see any comparison to the novel. It is interesting to watch, just barely.",4 "Long drivel. No drama, no one pushed any envelope. It was script reading at best. Given the actors I would have thought a lot more intensity and a lot more chemistry but it was missing it just was going through the motion what a disappointment and a flop and as I said just self entitlement of lazy actors earning too much money. If you started the beginning and work through the storyline you wondering really what they're trying to achieve and how they're going about it and it's so disjointed it's just patchwork and I think on review the director probably has no idea and the actors should have jumped into the editing room because they've got so much quality in their acting to say this is garbage and we can't put this out.",1 Love everything about this show. My husband and I literally count down the days until a new episode drops. I will say the first season was a little predictable. But oddly I didn't mind that very much with this show. Definitely recommend Thai show!,10 "To say I feel disgusted and ripped off by this film is an understatement. I watch a LOT of movies and this is just an outright terrible film. I saw it in 3D which added nothing to the movie experience and to be honest was a complete waste of time and money and there were few scenes (if any) that merited 3D at all. However my greatest contempt is for this website itself (IMDb) who have either actively been involved or deliberately allowed a false rating to be contrived and displayed on this website to dupe people into seeing it. Either the film studio has paid people to write and give falsely great reviews (films above 8.0 are rare) or IMDb have taken money to deceive people like myself into seeing this film with its artificially created high rating. Whether I like a film or not it is irrelevant because I can always find reasons why others would disagree with me but this film had nothing at all to offer. To summarize it was a very weak story line with rather unbelievable lines as to how anyone could have survived and little or no special effects making me for only the third time in my life want to ask for my money back but this film definitely was my highest rated rip off film of all time as I was conned by this site into seeing it because of its false 8.7 rating. I feel so strongly that I may even sue the film studio for misrepresentation as I was definitely not entertained in any shape or form by this film an very much doubt I shall be using this site in future unless they do something about this rating fixing.",1 "Just watched this movie only to find out it's another ""stupid teenager does stupid things"" kind of horror movie. Very disappointing. Nothing left of the original combined franchise Conjuring, Annabelle and The Nun. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this movie.",4 Really surprised by the rating.. its just so slow and average.,4 "Well its finally here! Many people have waited for this film. Me included. This film seems to have everything. The humour in this film hit spot on! I laughed every time. I have had enough of DC fans saying that if it's funny it can't be dramatic. Thats all bullshit. This film goes from hilarious, to (Mostly in the final act) extremely dramatic and heartfelt. Even though I am a Marvel fan boy, and I would have seen this film anyway, the main reason I had to see it so early was Spiderman. I am a massive spidey fan and to see him in the MCU was fantastic. So obviously spidey was my favorite part of the film. I think Tom Holland got the perfect balance between dorky as Peter and confident as spidey. The one thing that took me off slightly was the slight overuse of cgi for spidey. I can overlook this though and I had a great time with him. Cap again is great, but Downey showed us a whole new side of Tony which was fantastic too see. He was so dramatic and at times angry. It was new and exciting. It seems that the one problem everyone had with the film was the villain and how he was wasted. Because people had said this I was expecting some random villain to show up in the final act like Doomsday for BvS, but that wasn't the case at all. His plan was interesting and well worked and we really got a good insight of the character. For me this was one of Marvels best villains put to screen yet. And the airport scene... well what can I say. Again spidey stole the show for that too. If you thing you have seen the airport scene through the trailers, you are so mistaken. You've seen nothing yet. Black panther for some reason I thought I wouldn't like, but I really did. They some how got me to love him. The characters all got a good amount of screen time and they all got a good story arc. The action is just so much more enticing because we have motivation behind it and a good story. Overall this is my second favorite comic book film (1 being dark knight. There is just no beating that) and defiantly my favorite Marvel film yet. This is a film I could watch 1000 times and never be bored. This isn't just a fantastic comic book film. It's a fantastic film. Period.",8 "Season 1-2 Smartly written and well cast, the individual episodes keep circling back to such apprehensions, with darkly satiric overtones that distinguish it from most of what's currently on U.S. TV. Season 3 Black Mirror continues to be as bracingly original and thought-provoking as ever before, a Twilight Zone-influenced gem for the technology age that Brooker only seems to get more creative at fleshing out. Season 4 The ""grandson"" of Twilight Zone is loaded of surprises in the 4th season. The episodes that deserves all attention the ones that tributes Star Trek and Alfred Hitchcock presents. The final episode is an hyperbole. Stephen King described Black Mirror as ""terrifying, funny, intelligent. It's like the 'Twilight Zone,' only rated R."" That's actually giving it short shrift. ... What makes the series special is how there is always one more twist that you didn't expect in the same way there is always some implication--usually for ill--in a new invention that we didn't think of. This new season will only add to the acclaim",9 "Do NOT waste your time! This show has nothing to do with Witcher. It's not even an adaptation. It's a pure fanfic and not a good one. Everything screams 'generic fantasy', from the plot to the costumes. Characters are not themselves, there are almost no stories from the books, and if they are there, they are completely changed. Awfully miscast as well. Don't look for Slavic and Celtic themes from the books neither. The show is nothing but a typical cheap American drama and anything Easter European is completely erased. It's definitely worst 'adaptation' ever. It's very sad to see my beloved series getting such treatment. I hope one day someone else will do it again. Why 'adapt' to not adapt?",1 "As it was, 'twas ever thus. David O Russell is an emotionally sensitive, intellectually curious, spiritually growing director and creative giant on par with the greatest talents of his industry. Every part of this film is extremely well-done, and will reward you for close watching and thinking. BUT, its told and acted in overly silly way, so you can look past the acting and not take it too too seriously and see that what is actually important, the plot and background story, is deadly serious. The important thing in watching this film is that you will become illuminated with the awareness that what has happened before (richest humans in the group want to anonymously control everyone else) is happening again now, and will happen again in the future, and now that you know what it looks like, you (and I) must be constantly on guard against it and stop it every time. Power and striving Society tries to eliminate the lower class (Doc) & medically subdue creative critical thinkers (Margo) & ignore or intimidate the arbitrarily different (JDW) in order to evaporate even the thought of opposition. By calling it out, as former-insider-turned-enlightened-individual Smedley Butler did in 1934 by saying ""War is a Racket,"" you are revealing the naked emperor to everyone else, who will continue the process. In the movie, Margo finally rejected the drugs and said she ""would never trust them again"" in favor of accepting & believing in herself and love. In the movie, the ""Committee of Five"" started the eugenics clinics to sterilize undesirable people, and then to try to control people around the world they sponsored fascism in Italy and Germany, and yes tried for the USA, conning everyone by using their ownership of the press to make it seem OK. These things actually happened and are a part of everyday real life. The parallels to today are obvious, but just a mirror image. These people never went away. Their intellectual and genetic descendants are still there, but they are tricky and switched everything over to the other side of the ideological spectrum these days to make you think it's a different beast, but its still the old immortal 1930's wolf in sheep's clothing, with the same impetus and goals. ""History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes."" - Mark Twain.",9 """Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery"" is a high budget Netflix production with a great cast. In interviews the talents reveal they spent a lot of time together during breaks after filming, so you can grasp that intimate chemistry between the gang. The script is seriously well written and executed with perfection. The story is not shockingly different from similar murder mysteries but since the cast acts like in a theatre play the performance is the most important thing about the second part of Rian Johnson's hommage to Alfred Hitchcock. The film never gets boring and the music is brilliant. Edward Norton was awesome in ""Birdman"" and was an excellent choice for ""Kinfes Out"". Daniel Craig is even more on point than in the first movie. Janelle Monáe pulls off a great deal of charisma and takes it to another level by the end of the movie.",10 Can not understand the good reviews. This is such a pure bore.,2 This is one of best war movie ever. This movie is so realistic and exciting that we get involved in it.,8 "This is the kind of film that is trying so hard to be so many different things. It like ADHD in film format. Terrible music mashed together with brain dead action scenes and awful dialogue. Please stop making rubbish movies.",3 "A love letter to L.A (I just now realized the title pun... yep), that vilified city where half its population are sure they´ll make it and often get ridiculed for it. The tagline ""Here´s to the fools who dream"" can´t get any clearer. L.A. might or might not be a city of dreams but it´s most definitely a city of dreamers. La La Land makes sure all the landmarks shine bright. The Griggith Observatory, the Watts Towers, Long Beach, Hermosa Beach, Vine Street; all the cafes, the boulevards, the jazz clubs, the convertible cars, the movie sets; all of this places (and the highway!) are memorable even for someone like me, who has never set foot in any of them. The city is more than just a setting but it obviously needs a couple of dreamers because, after all, it wouldn´t be anything without its fools. We have a jazz revivalist and an aspiring actress working as a waitress, which has to be the oldest cliché in the book. It makes sense, tough, revitalizing an old fashioned character is a statement on how the simple story isn´t only enough, it´s everything. Dreamers dream their dreams today as they did a hundred years ago and the world getting worryingly cynical give all the more reason for romantic spirits to speak up. La La Land doesn´t just speak up, it shouts at full lung its passion for the oldie golden days, it´s a burst of unstoppable romantic emotion that leaves you shaken, stunned, flurried. It´s loud, very loud, like 2001´s Moulin Rouge on colorful steroids. It commands its audience to be taken higher and higher and, although it has the confidence and power to make such demands, I personally felt exhausted and kind of relieved it was finally over. I´m a fool for this kind of thing and I appreciate the nostalgic yearning for simpler times, for soulful music, dressed-up men and women in summer dresses. I can smile at two hands touching for the first time and I can admire the technical prowess of light, color, music, editing and costumes. I can also cringe at some musical numbers, over-staged apartments, preposterous coincidences, try-hard manipulations and worn-out clichés. I appreciate the light but without getting blinded by it.",5 "I laughed 5 times, chuckle other 5. How can I say it is good? That's the thing, most people laughed at lot at this. Of course they believe is good, It worked for them! But I got nothing out of this movie. The action was barely serviceable. And almost every scene filmed like a really bad sitcom, with awful ""What we do in the shadows"" type of improvised jokes. They destroyed Thor (Star Lord/Chris Pratt rip off). They buried Loki. And they literally burn Asgard to ashes. Bad movie with those few laughs and Cate Blanchett's charm and beauty salvaging another terrible Marvel villain. PD: And then, the actually ""good at their job"" Russo brothers saved Thor with IW, and with only a few minutes, they honored and used Loki way better than Dumbtiti on an entire movie.",3 "I read the reviews and got quite excited for something I assumed would be terrible from the trailer. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't as good as the reviews make it out to be either. I can only assume the happy reviewers held hands with their little kiddies on their way to the cinema to enjoy a family movie, cause that's exactly what it was. Bring on Endgame.",5 "I'll tell you why this movie didn't even come close to being ""Best Picture"" at the Oscars. It wasn't very good, that's why. Although the acting by Leo was just great and Brad Pitt was his usual brutally handsome presence, that wasn't enough to carry the project to its ""long time a- comin'"" finale. Most of the Tarantino movies I have seen, even though they are gruesome blood fests, have good plot development , good tension and good soundtracks but this one had none of the above. The music was too loud and Tarantino relied on it too much to set the 70's scenes rather than trying to pull more out of the characters . Those characters, other than Leo and Brad, were just empty vessels and the whole set up echoed with the sound of one hand clapping. As for tension, well, because he was keeping the twist of the ending a secret (and a very well kept secret at that) he wasn't able to build anything in unfolding the story. A few good fight episodes eased the tedium but overall it was a travelogue type movie, which is very unusual for QT. The bottom line is that there was something less than gripping with this project, showing that you only have to be slightly off your best to turn out a mediocre product...... and this is definitely not his best. For all that negative stuff, it's still a movie that holds your attention and entertains, so I would recommend watching it ... just temper your expectations.",4 "The worst quality we could ever imagine. It is not the sarcastic cruel world of the Witcher story. It is disgusting the Whiner world by Netflix. You don't understand what is going on, why, and what is the motivation of the characters. Gerald plays statistical role. The picture is cheap. Quality is cheap. Fighting scenes are cheap. Scenario is absurd and inconsistent. Makeup is the worst. The impression that the series was made by people who hated their work. Every aspect of the series is worked out as unprofessionally as possible. No wonder Henry Cavill decided to leave this ""show"". The worst. Netflix, please, stop creating movies and serials with effective managers in charge and let the people who care and love the fantasy worlds do their job.",3 "I just got back from seeing _Guardians of the Galaxy_. Despite overall positive reviews and stellar recommendations from people whose opinions I value and trust, I found it only so-so at best. The humor was sophomoric—which I expected—but what I didn't expect was how boring it was. To be effective, humor relies on the element of surprise, and with only one or two exceptions, all the jokes were so blatantly broadcast that there was no opportunity to inject the unexpected. In addition, despite a good cast, the acting was flat and one-dimensional. Michael Rooker (Yondu) put in the best show of any of them, and he was really just a blue Merle from the AMC series _The Walking Dead_. Apparently, the director's idea of instilling dramatic tension is to shout, in a rather flat manner. The characters, protagonists and villains, were all overly familiar stereotypes, and there wasn't a single moment in the development of the plot that was not predictable. I am, frankly, surprised at the reviews this is getting. I was expecting a silly, rollicking space opera and instead got a noisy, explosion-ridden pastiche that bordered on tedium. Evidently, a lot of people are more easily pleased than I.",4 "I just found it in Netflix, and since I had nothing to do I decided to give it a try, and my God what a movie it was. Great comedy, emotions, love, and everything. You should definitely give it a try.",8 "I know a lot of people loved this movie for what it is. But I can't ignore the painfully lazy set up they had here. The beach and city all together does not come across like its under siege, it looks way too damn CLEAN. Where are all the bullet holes in the walls? Why are the buildings not so blown up looking? There should be craters on the beaches and hundreds of body bags everywhere. And for the love of Churchill WHERE IS EVERYONE!? There is supposed to be 400 thousand men stuck on this beach and it looks like there's barely any?? I once saw the film Atonement which is a love story and it had a perfect 5 minute scene that showed a much more accurate and brutal representation of this siege. And it was done all in one shot. Yet here in 2017 Christopher Nolan can't improve on that? On top of all that, the story in this film is too all over the place. It shows us about 8 different characters in different places during the film, in the sky, on the boats, on the beach. But we don't know who they are and are not given enough time to properly care if anything happens to them. It would have been better if we just followed two characters at the most because then we get more time to know them and see their struggle. Thats what the movie 1917 got right. One final nitpick is the beginning words. Instead of saying 'The Enemy' it should say specifically the 3rd Reich German Army. Otherwise it comes across like you are supposed to know already. Or that Germany is still the enemy to this day. It doesn't work.",4 "First of all QUEEN is not an intense feminist movie. Neither it only focuses on Women. It comes with a simple message that people should live their life to fullest and be open for any new experiences. It is a sweet, light, heart throbbing kind of a tale about a girl who never lived her life as per her own wishes. But when she got an opportunity to do this on a foreign land, she discovered a new cheerful, confident girl in herself, beneath the obedient one. Vikas Behl and his team has done a superb job. Perfect casting (many undiscovered faces for Bollywood), tight screenplay, picturesque European locations and usage of their culture in story line ;and heart throbbing punjabi music. Kangana has delivered a superbly palpable performance. But, thing about movie is that it never gets serious (a very common pitfall in which such movies falls). You do feel the sadness of Queen but it never impregnates you. Rather, it is her happy, excited, dancing and exploring something new moments that you will feel like being a part of. So, by the end of movie there are good chances that you are thinking of going on such a trip, while humming one of the Bollywood numbers in the movie. Movie has very aptly tried to question beleagurement of women in Indian society and judgmental attitude towards them (particularly scene when an Indian Pole dancer speaks perfect Urdu), but rather being sad, these moments are pleasant. Definitely, Kangana is going to be nominated for best actress role and numerous supporting actor's nominations.",9 "If you're looking for a real good movie in this genre save yourself some time and watch the masterpiece ""About time"" 2013. Now about this movie: Just because everybody else liked a movie doesn't mean you should agree with them. Just because a movie is boring as hell and includes some so called psychological secret messaged doesn't mean it's a good movie. Oh yes there are so many of these kinda movies winning Oscars but do you really wanna enjoy a movie or you just wanna be looking cool in the eyes of others. I didn't wanna finish watching it cuz I lost interest before the very first 30 minutes, but I decided to keep watching to make sure I wouldn't miss something. The couple don't have any chemistry, Yes she is right Joel is too boring. Nothing that make you like his Character, a good movie gets you connected to the characters so much that you feel what they are feeling. Something else I don't like about Hollywood movies is the overuse of sexual stuff.. seriously what would these filmmakers do if they couldn't show any nudity or sex in their movies? I'm not a Muslim but I come from a Muslim country where movies aren't filled with sex nudity and profanity, they have a real story to tell. I wanted to give this a 1 but I decide to give it a 3 because I though there was a good message at the end, that no matter how messed up our life is, we won't be happy if we give it up, it's never gonna be perfect, so why don't we just enjoy what we already have.",3 "Definitely an enjoyable anime. Has some solid fights, many like able characters, and a great opening intro/song. I will agree with many others the pacing of the show isn't great. I feel there's too much going on in this anime. Best way I can describe this is the writers/producers of the show took all ideas considered and put them in it. Also, the title doesn't fit this anime in my opinion. Call it God of ""Fighting"", ""Japan"", ""Hope"", etc just not High School.",7 "Clearly, putting actors through war just so they'll be able to portray soldiers in battle believably is nothing a sane person would consider. But that doesn't mean that doing what 1917 does is a good idea: having soy boys portray men of arms. The performance of the main actors makes it just too painfully obvious that, growing up, they were never yelled at, slapped, punched and never had to endure any other significant amount of physical discomfort, i.e. never went hungry, never froze and, presumably, never had to walk more than a few bus stops. Being unable to fathom/understand even low-level intensity of violence and suffering, they seem bizarrely out of place in a WWI-setting. And that, in turn, makes for something worse than just a boring and non-immersive movie: a mockery of the unimaginable pain and sacrifice their grandfathers went through in order to keep Europe free.",3 Kinda fell asleep but still was nice to finally see,2 Lots of people say it's overrated and I can understand why they don't like it but sometimes I feel like it gets hated on for no reason. There's something really enjoyable that my hero brings to the table.,8 This movie is a must see. Movie of the summer. You will not be disappointed its well worth the money. I'm mot gonna give anything away but McLovin is the man. I could not stop laughing throughout the whole movie. When something wasn't funny it was just funny because the movie is that good. If you want a good laugh go see this movie. ITS THAT GOOD!!!!!!!!!! This movie is a about a couple of lovers that have just one last chance to get laid before college. And boy do they have some fun. Before they get where there destination is located they have some bumps in the roads along the way if you no what i mean. How can you not route for these guys. Before i give anything away i am going to stop talking.,10 "A good show but got s1 was better than hotd s1 in every aspect other than vfx I guess. Couldn't connect with the characters because of the all the the time jumps. Other then viserys every other characters felt bland compared to got. Dialogues and interactions weren't as good as got. Those are my main complaints other then that a well written show. And an outstanding cinematography. Didn't have many great characters It had but not good as got. Goods >Great acting >Viserys >Cinematography >Direction >Writing Bads >Pacing >Time jumps Hotd was good but It wasn't as good as it's predecessor but i hope the ending will be better then it's predecessor....",8 "Just 3 put of 10 cause of the action scenes otherwise the movie is really shallow and boring A true example of why netflix should quit making movies",3 I really got tired watching this movie to bad with all that cast .,4 "There was such great potential with this story, but instead, they went the ""twilight"" route. NO ONE wants the weak girl, save the girl story. Very weak writing!",3 "Did anybody catch that this was Disney's 1998 Halloweentown rehashed? The town people all hexed, the seemingly ""good"" guy, okay gal, that turns out to be the villain (in practically the same costume), the realization of the main character that she really is a witch after all. I could go on but honestly... this is the best story line they could come up with? The first couple of episodes were promising with the mix of classic TV themes/sets but it quickly devolved into been there/done that. Really all they were missing was a Debbie Reynolds character and it would have been old home week.",1 "Page seems almost type cast but she none the less pulls off a good perfomance. I however am amazed by the Character Klaus Hargreeves. It is as if he is channeling Bob Denver, and the character of Gilligan, but adding to the insanity with addiction. Bravo, on both counts.",8 "I was skeptical about watching this film as a lot of people had mentioned that it was completely convoluted and impossible to follow. I found it was well laid out and above all and maybe its best quality - it made you think. It developed and unfolded in it's own due course. Leo pulls out another fantastic film. The acting was superb by all. I was most surprised by JGL. From spoof films like 10 Things, to major action blockbusters, he held his own very well. It certainly had me on the edge of my seat to the very end and I loved how it keeps you guessing at the end. High marks!",7 "This movie kept us in our seats right from the word go. Acting of Karthi, Naren & George Maryan was way too good and you would only seem as characters. Background music also very good. Only thing we did not like much was violence, which was very much and could have been avoided, so you cannot watch this movie with your kids!",8 "Truly one of the best masterpiece. It was so good i really hope they make Season 4 and so on till the story is complete. Throughout the show we have seen the relationship between Hannibal and Will, i really hope to see Clarice in season 4 to see how there relationship changes .... The only thing i don't understand that in Hannibal movie clarice was there to catch Hannibal when he was is in Florence but in the Tv show they showed Will and Alana. Also in season 3 The Red Dragon part few things were missing compared to the movie ...But i still liked it The actors really did a great job after watching the movies nd Antony Hopkins, i wasn't sure about Mads Mikkelsen portraying as Hannibal ...but after watching that subtleness in his acting which is the key and the eye gestures it was amazing ...:) glad i watched it.. please please we need #Hannibalseason4",9 "I was going to write a lengthy review but it simply isn't worth it. It's bad.",1 "While the premise did have some promise, the execution left much to be desired, while the production was top notch the story was simply not engaging enough and the writing and acting were pretty average.",8 "No, seriously. It's not as good as people say. It did win four Oscars, but those were all in areas where the film truly does excel: visuals and sound. As for the plot, it's as full of holes as a Swiss cheese and about as smelly. A great cast can do little to make up for that. Don't believe me? http://bit.ly/1mk1xvy http://bit.ly/1p5u23w I really can't add much to that. The plot holes and the major inconsistencies, paired with the philosophical depth of a 14-year- old (is really ANYTHING real???) means there's little going for this film beyond the amazing visual effects and sound. Now, that would go a long way, if not for the fact that it's so ridiculously loooong! What we have here is a sensory tour de force dragged down by an atrociously poor story played out by amazing actors trying desperately to bring life to ridiculously shallow and one-dimensional characters. I've tried. I've seen it twice by now. That's five hours of my life I'm not getting back.",5 This movie is the best Spider Man-Movie of Tobey Maguire's Trilogy. Peter Parker/ Tobey Maguire's Spider Man was the best in this movie and it's not even close. Dr. Otto did a really great job and he is a really good villain and made the movie more interesting. The movie is a 10/10 and I would recommend to Marvel fans and Spider-Man fans obviously. If you've never watched a spider man movie you should definitely watch this one.,10 "I saw this movie without too much expectation, just to have some fun. The film reached my expectations, but it let me down in other ways. The storyline is a basic-used before one, but it still does it's job for an action movie. Going down to details, the acting is pretty good, and it's expected to be from actors such as Denzel Washington and actresses like Rosario Dawson. The Denzel Washington - Tony Scott combo had worked out pretty well in 'Man on Fire' and it worked again. On the other hand, I just can't figure out Tony Scott's intention with the shooting style. It's just awful. It looks like he tries to add more movement and ""action"" to every shot. The constant zoom in and out and pans are more annoying than enthralling. I almost stopped watching the movie after the first 15 minutes because of this. Still, it ended up being an obvious but entertaining movie to catch on the cable someday. One time see. Nothing you'll remember in the future.",5 "I mean... at least wandavision was a little bit funny in moments in spite of being overtly female supremacy minded; but this? This race baity and female supremacy combination is utter and total disaster. Fire the writers, or better yet: completely disband the screenwriter's guild of america because clearly, when they went on strike 15 years ago: something went very wrong at the negotiation tables. I watched 3 episodes of this 'black and white buddy' actionish flick and all I got was 3 hours of BLM, hateful on white males particularly, and MORE of the female supremacy BS. The actors aren't to blame, they just read the script. The script comes from the writers, and the writers follow the rules of the studio. So now we understand, why 'mickey mousing' the MCU with Disney ownership, would make Stan Lee rise from the grave just to eat you all in revenge. I'm checking out of the MCU now, phase 4 no longer interests me, and if anyone out there wants anything to change you better do the same and influence with your spending / viewship or lack thereof and encourage others to do the same who agree with you. Maybe after another billion dollar company goes bankrupt (they do own disneyland too and the revenues there are way down lately) we can see something the audience has the final word on instead of the owners. Were in this together, right?",1 "New to the Bollywood genre, I was curious so got this DVD to see what it was all about. In the next several hours I had wept repeatedly, laughed hysterically, wanted to join in dancing, and caught myself with my mouth hanging open more than once in stunned appreciation of the shift between moods on screen. And I was amazed the entire time at what a good time I was having, and spent the rest of the evening humming the songs from it. This film is really evidence of a completely different mindset and world, and one that I find that I like so much! There was no swearing, no blatant sex, no sneering or nastiness, which I am so tired of; all was color, music, beautiful saris, people of all ages participating, silly support characters, appealing leads, lots of action, and all set against a poignant story line about a peace initiative between the traditional enemies,India and Pakistan. I am SO impressed, and want to see many more of these Indian films from now on. I recommend it!",8 "Does it really want to double down on bigotry and misogyny to keep making money from the deranged sections of the society, or does it want to take responsibility to be an inclusive and responsible place.",1 "As a nurse I was excited by the idea of doing tests with just a drop of blood. Blood draws are hard on some patients who have veins prone to roll or collapse. You have to fill a vial of blood at least 3/4s or the lab won't take it. So Theranos' promise was a dream. Unfortunately that's all it was. But Elizabeth Holmes thought having a dream was sufficient, just like so many people believe. We are told this by just about every motivational speaker, inspirational book and every Disney film. What we should be told is what Bette Davis said about dreams: what you really need to do is to set goals and work out the tasks required to achieve those goals. Holmes wasn't willing to do the hard work of figuring out how to do those tests and how to build a machine that could do it, mostly because it would take too long. And everyone bought into the idea that her dream would just come true. Nobody asked the tough questions about the practical difficulties involved. Because we believe in the American Dream, not the American Goal and the necessary and hard and not glamorous tasks that it will take to get there. The sad thing is that patients were lied to and endangered so that a narcissistic dreamer could enjoy the kudos of the rich and important without actually doing any of what was required to make her dreams a reality. Good miniseries with good performances all around.",8 "This movie has some issues, including a white savior complex and some serious blindspots. But it also has a compelling protagonist, amazing action sequences, and enough solid performances to put it ahead of most similar movies. Basically, I got more than I bargained for. It is not perfect, but it sure is entertaining.",6 "I'm late to the party. I know. But with all the praise Top Gun: Maverick got, we thought this would be a great popcorn flick to satiate our January-first couch potato needs. Were we ever mistaken! I don't know what type of reality distortion field the reviewers of this movie currently reside in, but I'm not even sure we watched the same film. The good: every single aerial scene had us on the edge of our seat. Amazing cinematography, flight choreography, and it felt like we were there. No idea how they pulled this off - we were blown away. The bad: literally everything else. Director Kosinski is back, continuing his trend of not caring about humans in this clinically directed nightmare. Every character comes across as a stand-in, which leave you looking for superlatives for the word ""cliche"". (Cliche-est?) the dialogue is borderline parody, with my partner and I taking turns predicting the next line with shocking accuracy. Then, the plot is complete nonsense for a variety of reasons: 1. Really cool that Top Gun graduates are ""elite"", but... why not hire pilots with, you know, real world experience... like OLDER Top Gun graduates?! This is a serious plot hole that gets dumber the more you think about it. ""Let's hire talented rookies to fly this key mission!"" - why?! 2. Three weeks. That's how long the writers continuously emphasize these rookies have to train. Which, on its face, is already absolutely ridiculous - but then, the training gets SHORTENED - meaning that the hour of sequences you just watched, happened in... just a couple days? The timeline makes ZERO sense here. 3. Maybe, if you want us to care about our characters, you can help us understand the stakes? Pretty basic stuff. This movie is only a 2-hour first act, followed by the finale, where the team fight literally faceless baddies in the mountains somewhere. The rest of the stakes are petty, borderline-ridiculous interpersonal conflicts. Everything coalesces into an ooze of bad, with a script seemingly written by a 12-year-old, acting so cringe it'll make you lose hair (stop TRYING so hard, Jennifer Connolly), and a soundtrack so gratingly sentimental it made us want to mute our speakers. The original Top Gun was a dumb mess, and I'm glad to see the sequel outdoing it in stupidity.",4 3 hours too long in my opinion and just don't see any valid reason why this film was even made. Waiting and waiting and waiting for the storyline to pick up but never did. This amazing twist at the end was in my opinion a complete cop out that just left me dumb founded to think the creators of this film could not even come up with a half decent ending. If your looking for a good nights sleep then this is the film for you. The storyline is poor with no real explanation as to why any of it is happening. Plan A this and plan B that and by the end of it it was all One big lie to get them into space in the first place. My question is why did they bother?,1 "Jubilee is just modern artists class elites bringing there own modern culture into the show, and forcefully adding neo noir style, and its boring, and many things which keeps happening r not that interesting. I think a lot of same minded groupism happens in the industry (artistically, socio politically etc). They think if a series has some elements lets say it has to be boring and just a decent enough plot, it is then a so called masterpiece high art, achha bewakuf banaya jaraha hai audience ko aur bohot ban bhi rahe hain, our industry is filled with westernized elites who just consume western movies and r engaged in west world only. And idk what people r talking about detailing, yes there are detail and production quality but the feeling is not from other time it feels like modern elite class trying to bring there aura into it, in there behavior, voice texture, even singing and becoz of it it gives a bad mixture of trying to show an era with good production but also bringing there modern closed group aura Now what i would like to pay to watch about bombay cinema: a political show, which shows how the industry is filled with elite class people who live in same minded closed group socio politico philosophically, and how they r generally incapable of first hand observation and just copy paste their world view from west, and r western minded and see everything here through there perspective, and even copy paste style stories trends morality characterization culture from west, and of course it should show the history of punjabi nepotim and punjabi talent favoritism, and how bombay artists use our hindi region culture, art, language, history, legends, settings etc to give to other regions to elevate there culture.",3 "Everything Everywhere All At Once is two hours nineteen minutes long, but should have been, could have been one hour shorter. The premise is that every time we make a decision in life, a possible different decision results in our life in an alternate universe, that using some tricks allows us to access ourselves in that alternate universe. While the premise is interesting and clever the concept is lost in hyperbolic overkill. There's SO MANY alternate universes from the multitude of decisions we've made in life that the original reason for accessing ourselves in alternate universes is nearly lost. In many, if not most of the too many alternates, the CGI-ed fights where people are trying to kill the protagonist are too fast, too blurry and too long. (BTW, I really, as in REALLY HATE the overuse and excessive use of CGI in scenes! It's too cartoonish.) There's two reasons I didn't give Everything Everywhere All At Once just one star. Reason one, Jamie Lee Curtis nails her role as the frumpy, overweight, pot bellied (with belly button showing under her shirt) heartless IRS agent. I love the fact that this actress who starred in so many very glamorous roles had the self confidence to take this role. Reason two, the movie has a sentimental, heart warming, meaningful and inspirational ending. Everything Everywhere All At Once was suggested by our adult son and watched it with us after coming over for dinner, and my wife had heard from our other younger, but adult son, that it was a great movie and she wanted to see it. At the end of the movie adult son says, ""Wasn't that a great movie, to which we both lied and replied yeah. But after he left, we both lamented what a horrible and way to long movie it was. If you like a LOT of CGI almost meaningless, blurry scenes it may be for you, but discerning watchers . . . BEWARE!",2 Can't believe they ruined the classic songs from the original! Very unnecessary live action remake! The visual effects was amazing & beautiful. Can't believe they ruined scar's be prepared song! It was awful! Jeremy Irons will always be the voice of scar in my opinion! The problem with this version is that there wasn't no emotions on the characters faces like there was in the animation original version. This version is a one time watch for me. I will always love the original lion king! 4/10,4 "The show relies heavily on a pretty simple and unoriginal plot and forgets to develop its characters. Klaus and perhaps number five are the only 3 dimensional characters. Robert Sheehan does a great job. The plot is pushed along with leaps in logic, the heroes' powers are weirdly inconsistent or they forget they have them and the dialogue is frustratingly limited to create false drama. Could have been much better if they'd developed the writing and not rushed it out like Netlifx does with many shows.",5 "I heard a lot of hype about this, and I like Reynolds so I figured it would be good. Then I saw the trailer. I thought, well - maybe they made a sucky trailer. Nope. This thing was great to help me get an early night's sleep - I gave up after 25 minutes and woke up to the credit roll. I think I made out better than most! Disjointed and amateurish filmmaking in my opinion. I almost went to the theater to see this, and am so glad I saved the money and, ahem, streamed it. Totally legally. Yeah. Just like I'll do with all this woke Hollywood crap. It's not even worth the bandwidth really. I'll be going the the theater to see the next Bond film though. If they ruin that too, I'm done with Hollywoke. Forever. This coming from someone with a DVD and Blu-Ray collection 1,850 strong. Not one more dime Hollywood.",3 "This movie is too big for it's own good. This is a job for the Flash or Superman not a retired handicapped shut in. It's also frequently stupid while trying to be realistic. Why so serious?",5 I'd love to explain my rating to you but DAMNIT CHLOE THERES NO TIME,10 "Wow What a movie . Watched again After Watching Vikram . Uff What A Movie . Mind Blowing . No Nonsense, Straight to the Point Climax Scene 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Waiting For Kaithi 2 .",10 "AMSTERDAM is a warm east wind from its opening scene: mellow, capricious, a thing to be enjoyed, not picked apart. Close your eyes and you can enjoy it, glue them open and pick it to death and you've destroyed the very things that make movies fun to watch. This film doesn't deserve the criticism it's received. THE GOOD: Its star-studded cast leaves no stone unturned with its performances, which will muddled at times are entirely truthful and one of the stronger points. Note also a certain poignancy to the film which took some time to cultivate but really blossomed in the narrative's later acts. THE BAD: The first, say, third of the movie feels divorced from the rest of it despite being an essential component of its development. THE UGLY: Producers didn't make their money back due to screwball choices like casting Taylor Swift in a forgettable opening sequence, which benefitted no one. CONCLUSION: See it, it's better than they say, but steel yourself for a rough ride before it smooths out.",7 "I liked the story, the acting was fine, also liked the era and the chess theme, but here is the problem it keeps getting worse and worse while I struggled to focus with the scenes, i kept expecting something remarkable or changing at the end but it keeps boring me, this series is overrated on all levels.",6 "Bale did a phenomenal job as lead in the film. John David Washington, and Margot Robbie were also great in the support role. Bale is a true actor where you forget his characters from other roles, because you are immersed in the character you are viewing. The plot is a little slow, there were times in the middle I found myself a a little bored waiting for it to speed up, but it picks up towards the end. The cast does a great job, obviously with the abundance of stars in the film, screen time was ideal for some of the actors and actresses. It's not a major mystery movie with a bunch of twists and turns, but it will keep you entertained.",8 "For the amount of effort that went into this production, I found the result to be ultimately pretty dull. Like nearly 99% of what has come out of Hollywood in the past 15 years or so, this film has loads of technique but little heart. It offers little to care for, and therefore little to remember. Yes, there's some fancy graphics, but that's about it. The internal logic of the nested dreams is routinely disrupted, the action sequences don't make much sense (why all the shooting, really?) and none of the characters are emotionally involving. Di Caprio's character has a nominal story arc at best, and the angst he's supposed to feel is not grounded because we don't know neither his nor his wife's history, or how they got together. Yes, Inception is a fun mind game. But like most mind games, it ultimately doesn't make for a worthwhile experience. And at 2.5 hours this mind game is far too overblown. Its lack of proportion (too much talk, too many levels, too much trivial action, complicated for the sake of complicated) unfortunately makes things worse. The incessant music, typical of Zimmer, is trivially repetitive, as are much of the action sequences. Ultimately these become much more intrusive and annoying as the film progressives. When I compare this film to older ones, like The Woman in the Window, which achieves so much more of a memorable experience and story, yet with so little, one has to wonder if technology and truckloads of cash are getting in the way of memorable storytelling. This film would have fared much better as a comedy, or maybe as round-table discussion about dreams, or maybe as a survey of a Facebook clique of friends sharing dreams. But the film needed to have far more fantasy to really evoke the sensation of dreamscapes. And most importantly, it needed a far more soulful and compelling story with characters we are allowed to learn about and therefore care about.",3 Its a slow series with bits that promise lots of interest but at the end it just doesnt deliver. Not worth your time.,2 "Yes, this long film looks good and sounds good and is full of great actors and tense storytelling. Could be awesome- as awesome a thing about thousands of dying people can be. But it does the one thing: it is so full of anti sowjet propaganda that it hurts the story. Beating a dead horse... why? Red heat is a better and fair film than this. Evil Wodka addicted child eaters versus good people. The evil Ivan. I am sick of this. It is politically and artistically wrong.",5 "This guy, Nash, going to an ivy league school should have been able to research possible causes of psychosis/delirium. Could he not suspect heavy metals such as lead, with his extensive training? The doctors refuse to detox patients? How hard is it for people to understand lead poisoning and the dangers of heavy metals? The doctors could have used heavy metal chelation. They could do it for the navy in the 1960's but for regular people no? Mr Nash should have had proper treatment, instead of them leaving him sick and calling it an awful illness. Then, glamorizing it as a Hollywood spectacle. Come on help these poor people.",1 "This movie was nothing! Iron Man was a great one made with good technology at that time and this one was not worth to watch. It would be a great disappointment for Marvel Fans but because of Iron Man 3, the fans got satisfied. If Iron Man 3 was a flop, MCU might have ENDED!",5 "I still don't think this guy has melded his talent into a great movie...although I'm sure most will disagree. The closest he came in my opinion was ""The Prestige"". If he ever gets the emotional part of the movie to be the driving force....& gets his very bright ideas to seam together just right.....I think he could make a movie thats as unbelievably good as most folks think this one is. Lets see....who is the dreamer in this scene cut..are we at level 1,2, or limbo, or somewhere else? Which players are on sedatives & what kind of Kicks do they need to go to the level somebody thinks they should be at & should they be synchronized kicks with music and/or free falling, and/or feeling gravity, etc. ad infinitum. Cut to the mountain fortress snowmobile scene....I thought for sure a scene from a James Bond movie got cut in by mistake here...all the bad guys wearing the same uniforms & chasing the good guy(s)& setting the explosives & shooting bullets galore....I guess this was an action movie as well with the car chases and crashes & well, you know. This movie could very easily be summed up as a dream somebody had....somebody that you never see in the movie...just somebody's dream. And some people think it was that. You have to give Nolan credit for a lot of his ideas, really good production values, and other movie making strengths. I thought it went way overboard with the complexity of who is the dreamer & who is sharing dreams with who & what level are they on & what are all the rules on that level, did they get into limbo & what is limbo exactly & do you really feel pain if you get shot in the leg...but if you get shot in the head you just wake up...or maybe go to double limbo if the architects totem is spinning, but maybe it's the dreamers totem, but if it's Cobbs totem & he got it from Mal it really doesn't work for him anyway. You could go on & on about this...but I guess you get my drift. I think Nolan has has the talent to make a great movie...but I think it will have to get people in their emotional core & I don't think he has done that yet. I liked ""The Dark Knight"" when ""The Joker"" character was in the scenes...too bad about Ledger...he was really showing some acting chops big time. I probably would have thought this movie was a lot better when I was much younger.",5 Don't waste your time nor $$$. No acting. Everything was pretend and impossible.,1 "And i'm not saying it because its a dark comedy and not in line with his others. It was an ambitious film whose lenght does not take away from it at all. Rather its the plot that just lakes something. The three main leads all did great and I always like seeing them in films. And lets not forget dicarprio wilding a flame thrower now thats what I want to see more of. I did like this alternate universe esque film with they characters being in different year. Robbie playing sharon tate I thought was a good likeness and there were some fun bits there and there. The rest of the cast were pretty good also. Just overall I felt it lacked something, but that doesn't mean the films bad. If you like it then thats good.",6 I completed the anime thinking it would get better in next episodes But it's just waste of time to watch it Story is preditable Just watched cuz of bakugo and todoroki characters.,7 "Now, I can't really claim to be much of a fan of superheroes in general, but I was recommended that I watched ""Daredevil"", but was a little bit reluctant given the movie that had Ben Affleck in it. But I decided to give it a go anyway, and must admit that I was so happy and thrilled that I did so, because ""Daredevil"" really turned out to be an amazing thrill ride of entertainment, action and character development. You quickly take a liking to the various characters in the show, both good and bad, because they are so detailed and nuanced that it feels so very realistic and natural. And it was helped along so nicely by a rather impressive cast whom put on amazing performances. I was especially impressed with Charlie Cox (platying daredevil), Vincent D'Onofrio (playing Wilson Fisk), Elden Henson (plating Foggy Nelson) and also Deborah Ann Woll (playing Karen Page). One thing that didn't sit well with me, was the fact that you had to wait the entire first season before you got to see the suit. A clever way of keeping the viewers glued to the screen or just downright idiocy? I do not know, but I believe it was the former. Granted I have only seen seasons 1 and 2, but I have been so very adequately entertained by it, that I most definitely want to watch season 3 as well.",8 "Bird Box, not worth the hype and best actress goes to......""Girl"" Certainly not Sandra Bullock who as usual managed to show less emotion without the blind-fold than she did with it!!! But as they say ""acting is all in the eyes. Disappointing and certainly won't be ""unable to sleep for days"" at the prospect of an unknown entity!.",5 "This is actually very close to a great movie. It deserves your time and money at the theatres. Remember Lego Movie? How no one was expecting anything from it, labelling it as a cash grab? And it actually turned out to be a thoughtful, clever comedy? This movie is just as good. This is a fun, over the top, laugh out loud comedy that manages to communicate a very necessary message. I loved how much fun it had in doing that. It used comedy as a tool to prove its point. It's not easy guys. Making a satire itself is not easy, let alone turning Barbie into a good movie. The over-the-top way this movie made fun of sexism was hilariously genius. It reminded me of ""Don't Look Up"". That was another movie that deliberately made its characters unrealistically unlikeable to prove its point using humour. There are dialogues in this movie where I was like, it's funny but yeah, it needed to be said. The way this movie constantly made jabs at where gender equality stands at the moment, was genius. Everyone in this movie is having so much fun. The actors, all of them gave hilarious performances. Ryan Gosling, especially, was so funny. His character was so integral to the main theme of this movie. This movie is so self aware, that I wouldn't have been surprised if a character just mentioned the opening weekend battle with Oppenheimer. It has a few problems though. While the way the main theme of this movie is concluded was more or less perfect, I thought the way Barbie's character was concluded didn't make much sense and was sort of contradictory. And given that it's a very over the top comedy, some scenes do stretch a bit too much. It can get a bit too preachy at times too. But honestly, I had a great time. I would highly recommend watching this in theatres. In fact, my entire hall was laughing throughout the movie.",8 "Script is terrible. Acting is simple and flat. Story is small but stretched like a bubblegum. It feels cheap. Unnecessary drama to keep story going. I forced myself to watch season 2 because of high ratings but I think Netflix cracked the ratings code!",3 "First things first, I liked the second season, because, in the first we saw the train several time. Actually, it was the main transport that characters used and they connected to it for time travelling. Also, time changes in the train was so neat and successful. The story revolves around Nadia Vulvokov (played brilliantly by Natasha Lyonne), a cynical and rebellious woman who finds herself trapped in a never-ending loop on her 36th birthday. No matter what she does or how she tries to avoid it, Nadia dies and wakes up at the same point in time, forced to relive the same events over and over again. As she delves deeper into the mystery, she encounters Alan Zaveri (played by Charlie Barnett), who is also caught in the same eerie time loop. Together, they embark on a quest to unravel the truth behind their bizarre predicament.",9 "Apparently there is a novel of this story, but it seems like a tweaked remake of ""The Day of the Triffids"" to me. I found it really slow (it's two hours) so used the fast-forward button to great effect.",4 "One of the worst series I've ever seen, cheap cgi blood and effects and terrible low budget actors .. the whole budget must have went on the Superman actor .... thank god amazon have the lord of the rings series",1 "I first came to see the reviews before watching the movie. And when I saw that most of them were above 8/10 I said this is a must see movie. But while I sat down watching it I told myself WDF is happening.! The story line is too girly. Lots of people crying. Always too much care for the humans. Yeah they will die, yeah there will be collateral damage, but what if the heroes didn't help at all. One scene you will see Vision reading on a paper, to prepare some food, a receipt. While he has the brain of a Super Computer and can be connected throughout the world, babysits a girl who will send such a powerful being 100m under the earth! WHAT, seriously this guy has an infinity stone for nothing! Some fight scenes are so stupid. Captain America holding a helicopter down with his bare hands while standing on a heliport. I didn't know he weigh 20tons! Ant man being a giant but when he throws a kick it is in slow motion! Spiderman got younger and more stupid! All this to end up with a guy who wanted to destroy the avengers just for revenge and got Iron man,Winter Soldier and Cap America in a bunker to show him a Video of who killed his parents. Couldn't he have just sent a simple mail. Very very bad movie!! Watch this at home,doesn't deserve your time to go to the Cinema!",5 "I found the first one pretty bad, thus I was reluctant to go see this one too. Thankfully, having watched a promising trailer, I went to the cinema to watch this... oh yeah! This turned out to be one of my favorite films of all time and it made me a great fan of Captain America's character due to his ethos. It's remarkable, that initially, from the first movie, I found that same character completely dull. I should also mention the amazing bad guy (the Winter Soldier), who is almost as appealing - if not more - than Captain America! In a current world filled with superhero movies with generic/shallow plots & characters and with kids as the only target group (too many over-simplifications so that the story can move forward), Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a gem! It doesn't just differentiate from that superhero mass, it's also one of the greatest action spy (superhero) films. P.S. I've gone to the cinema for very few MARVEL and even less DC films, intentionally. I wasn't convinced from the trailers. I have watched almost all of the MARVEL ones though, because of curiosity. Hats off for their very successful blockbuster machine based on inter-connection between the plots of all their films (though often in an ultimately insignificant way!) and, hence, addiction. I do want to mention my 5 most noticeable films from them. Thor 2 and Avengers 2 were kind of enjoyable. Captain America: Civil War was good I guess, although ultimately, I think I was satisfied more because of the hype to the release and less because of the actual film - I didn't like the bitter taste it left me with. Then, Avengers: Infinity War was bitterly addictive. And lastly, Avengers: Endgame was a complete let-down. A complete let-down. Thankfully, that last one - the so-called culmination - made me come to the healthy conclusion... that I'm done with superhero movies! I choose to remember only Captain America: The Winter Soldier!",10 "This series unpacks a multitude of emotional and psychological damage experienced by so many people in just eight episodes. It was dark albeit humorous and each tone served its purpose. The darkness was crucial in forcing the main character to work through her trauma, as was her nasty disposition. I never leave reviews and I very rarely watch TV yet I completed the entire season in a day and here I am... Relatable, thought-provoking and far from predictable. Netflix definitely got this one right!",8 "I like how it says Deborah Harkness agreed to small changes in the story line. They completely destroyed the story. The books were thoughtful, compelling and brought you into the world of creatures. For those who have only watched the show please for the love if god read the books they are a thousand percent better. This is a rushed story that doesnt begin to explain all the intricacies of the plot. The romance is rushed, and there is no way that Deborah Harkness saw this and thought oh yes that's they story I wrote. They took a shell of what was in the book and destroyed the rest with pointless add ins that dont move the story forward or explain the plot. I wouldnt recommend watching this mess of a book turned movie. How can anyone who read the books think this was anything close to the amazing trilogy. Maybe it would do them well to read it again.",6 Knives out was a brilliant movie with suspense mystery and constant plot twists that kept you glued to the screen. However the glass onion doesn't do that. There aren't major plot twists and is kind of predictable at some point. It doesn't cause you to have doubts about who did it or makes you second guess about it. The mystery is fading. Also the plot is not so entertaining. I found it bland and meaningless. The acting was okay. Kate Hudsons playing was uninspiring and a little bit too much. The other actors did good at it. To sum up it is a mediocre movie that I would not watch it again. Perhaps if it wasn't the sequell of knives out I would reviewed it differently but now it just feels like that.,5 "Adolf: (to Jojo) Let me give you some really good advice. Be the rabbit. The humble bunny can outwit all of his enemies. He's brave, and sneaky, and strong. Be the rabbit. Honestly, I wasn't sure if it would work, but it does. Jojo Rabbit is the quintessential Taika Waititi film, and creates this phenomenal narrative for us. Give this film to any, literally any other director, and it could not work. Jojo Rabbit handles some seriously heavy and touchy topics very well, and actually keeps the usual overkill of politics at bay. Outstanding performances were delivered from Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, Rebel Wilson, Stephen Merchant (side note, google this guy and note that a carbon copy of a bearded Cillian Murphy), obviously Taika Waititi himself. And seriously, this film brought out 3 unknown actors & actresses, and showed us that you don't need to be a well-known actor to steal the show. Roman Griffin Davis, Thomasin McKensie, and Archie Yates are absolute gems, and truly bring this film to light. You will see those names a hell of a lot more in the future, I promise that. This is such an interesting story, and has such wit and humor, even in a dark time period. Particularly, Jojo Rabbit maintains a surprising sense of respect and honor for the actual historical events that it represents. Jojo Rabbit definitely deserved that Oscar (a first). I believe this film has solidified Taika's status as a director to reckon with, so keep an eye out for this ingenious and witty director's upcoming films. ""Pat's Rotten Tomatoes"": 84% ""Watch This?"": Please Do!",7 "I only gave this movie a 9. A gave the first one a 10. I've never seen either of them (read my Godfather part I summary to find out why), but I heard that the first one was good (so I gave it a 10) and that this one was slightly less good (hence, a 9). I'm a real big fan of mobster movies, though (My Blue Heaven {and Steve Martin movies}, The Freshman, etc.) and have seen Jane Austen's ""Mafia"" (a spoof of Godfather) and liked it. 9/10. A must see.",9 "There is only two good things about this show. 1. Casting of Roach is good. 2. Henry Cavill acting really good. Everything else is mediocre. Casting is really bad it's a slav based lore.Yet they put black evles, Indian Yennefer, black Fringilla etc. Because of casting tv show feels like generic Netflix teenshow. I don't recommend this show to anyone who love Witcher universe.",3 Caught this on Tele quite recently and really enjoyed it. It's a really nice spy story with lots of twists and turns. Don't know why it wasn't seen by more people. Yes it doesn't have any explosions and car chases as the focus is on Jennifer Lawrence's character and the decisions she has to make. It's a tough watch but you won't be bored for a second during its 2 hour 20min run time.,10 "The film Dunkirk represents a unique amalgamation of Christopher Nolan's talents as a director. Forsaking his typical character-centric method for a far more technical approach, the production of this film utilized practical effects wherever possible (note the dogfighting scenes). While devoid of any real character development, Nolan's now traditional manipulation of time still manages to maintain a sense of immediacy and tension. Aided by Hans Zimmer's score and a genuine respect for the actual battle, Dunkirk is not Nolan's best work but nonetheless stands as an evocative study of honor and defeat.",7 "I have to say that this is the best con movie Bollywood has ever produced; and yes I've seen Doom I & II. After watching Neeraj Panday's directorial debut A Wednesday, expectations for this film was already sky high and he didn't fail to meet our expectations. An excellent plot backed by great acting from the whole crew except Kajal Aggarwal. I don't want to reveal anything about the plot in fear of divulging those great twists in the process. The songs were really poor and irritating and was interrupting the general flow of the story; the romance angle was a complete failure; and though Neeraj did a great job in picturing the gritty real life scenes but in some places they felt a bit dull and lack-lustre. Without those horrible unnecessary soundtracks and romance, this movie could have been bold enough to be compared to OCEAN'S ELEVEN. But overall, this movie is no doubt quite impressive and a must watch for all con movie lovers!!!",9 "The Venom sequel isn't a strong follow up to the first film. The story felt rushed, the actors felt underused and it felt a bit chaotic. The dynamic between Venom and Tom Hardy is still funny in parts and the humour does land well. They could have developed their villain more and given more of a motive. The link between Eddie and the main villain seems weak, it felt they were brought into contact just because. I feel humour can be the trump card so they could have dialed this up a bit. I preferred the first film more than this but otherwise it wasn't all bad.",6 "Never before has a show blended so many feelings together for me. This show turns the conventional emotional process on its head, and challenges what we normally would see as conflicting emotions. I found myself simultaneously feeling both disgust and appeal, sympathy and callousness, uneasiness and relief. The show is a visual masterpiece and everything is cohesive. The editing and musical score give a sense of dark sophistication. The recurring themes and imagery strengthen the character roles (notably Will's view of Hannibal's true form) and give a sense of darker, intangible forces at play. The roles are perfectly cast, I can't think of anyone more suited for Hannibal's role than Mads (Hopkins was excellent, but I have to say Mads takes it here for me). Hugh and Mads' dynamic is tangible. I don't really have any critiques of this show, but if I had to give something, I would say the third season sometimes falls a little flatter than the first two, however it wraps up beautifully. Over all, this show is a true work of art, and I encourage anyone with both a stomach for gore, and a taste for the finer things, to give it a watch.",10 They should stop making Annabelle movies! This movie has no story whatsoever. Ed and Lorren Warrens appears only 10 min in the movie and the rest is just a waste of time. Don't waste your time. I've voted 3 because of their acting.,3 "Great thriller experience, every one must watch it.",10 "I have one thing I dislike from the series. Thats not how you deal with bully! Bakugo NEVER say sorry!!! And why is he be accepted by others b4 doing so? Will you recommend kids to watch it? No.",5 "I'm sorry, but Logan was a huge letdown for me as an ""x-men"" movie. The plot was close to the most lacking I've ever seen. Not enough explanation anywhere. The fact that the movie was close to two and a half hours with no explanation actually made parts painful to watch. Everything is ""mysteriously"" unanswered and even from someone who's usually not bothered by violence, there's a very unnecessary amount ( trust me the origins wolverine is like you're in a kindergarten class playing with dinosaurs compared to it ). The only two characters from previous movies ( Logan and Charles) had hardly any lines, and most were ambiguous at best, or just a lot of random swearing. As someone who loves the X-Men movie franchise, I would urge you to stray away from this production.",2 "This is the single best piece of art created so far in any genre. There is nothing even close to this. Nothing you do will ever be as satisfying as watching this show. Whoever you are, wherever you are reading this, whatever age you are, whatever year it is, it does not matter. Trust me, you will love this. You will love this so much. I don't want to reveal anything about it, so just go watch this right now. Not tomorrow, not sometime else, right now. This is the best thing you will ever see in your entire life. I honestly tried to be as objective and realistic as possible writing this review.",10 "A good sequel. a tiny bit disappointing. The story goes everywhere but is saved with incredible special effects. Don Cheadle plays a better War Machine than Terrance Howard ever would have. Gweneth Paltrow is somewhat annoying and doesn't satisfy from the first one. If your looking for a popcorn flick, this is the movie to see The villains are just great and Robert Downey Jr can do anything. He IS Iron Man. The Avengers movie is getting closer and this film is giving us more answers.",6 "really a 4/10 but had to give it 1/10 because its getting overrated. The series tries, keyword TRIES to be like twilight zone. Granted twilight zone feels a bit dated. the reboot of twilight zone had episodes that were better than this. It's always funny how Television will take an old idea and introduce again and people will gawk and praise as ""some revolutionary idea!"" the show puts a new techno spin on the old twilight stories. Some of the episodes are good but most are mediocre. None and I mean NONE of the Black mirror episodes are as good as Twilight Zone's ""Nothing in Dark"". If you expect the caliber of ""Time enough at Last"" you will be deeply disappointed.",1 "Wolverine has had quite a bumpy and uneven ride since Jackman took on the role back in 2000. He's been in the main trilogy, he's made appearances in the prequel-trilogy and has had also three spin-offs of his own. As charismatic as the character and the actor playing him are, all of his stand alone outings ended up lacking just that: charisma. While Origins is often pinned down as a disaster, The Wolverine follow up ended up being a truly catastrophic mess; and despite Mangold's efforts to make amends in this final outing, ""Logan"" is not as strong as it should have been and also isn't the proper conclusion the character needed. The whole selling point was to adapt the Old Man Logan comic as the send-off to the iconic mutant with an R-Rating, an approach the character was craving for since 2000. The gripping action is there, the acting is unexpectedly superior for comic-book films' standards and there's enough character development to elevate the film. Nevertheless, Mangold somehow manages to have the film feel uncomfortably familiar, predictable and deficient denoting a weak directing pulse and sense of conclusion urgency. As an avid X-Men fan and Jackman's interpretation of Wolverine, I ended up finding all three of the solo outings lacking in a way the ensemble ones (even the weaker ones) never did; he has inhabited Wolverine from day one and it is quite astonishing how he's made 9 appearances in the franchise and none of those felt flat, phoned-in or tired. It was a fully physical and emotional commitment to the mythos that honestly doesn't leave much space left for anyone else to take on or reinterpret(although sadly, we know it's bound to happen).",6 "Its pretty good, I dont know why people give down votes for such a lovely sweet love story.",9 "Anime,for me,has always been about crazy plots,sometimes crazy characters and mostly bat-s**t insane fights on one side and your usual high school drama interlaced with the usual anime tropes on the other..So,I was surprised when my friend recommended Death Note..Trust me,for a guy who watched DBZ,Naruto and the like,Death Note was different.... It's essentially a Sherlock Holmes type story..Only thing is we're seeing it from Light Yagami's side(You could say he's like Moriarty) and L(Sherlock,I guess)is the detective out to get him,with a dose of magic thrown in.It's the best cat and mouse game between the characters I'd seen in anime.Like Ever.. If you never watched anime,Death Note is a great start.For anime fans,It's a must watch.",9 """Jab We Met"" is an interesting film....or it was for me because it featured a Sikh woman...something I cannot recall seeing as a love interest in any of the other Indian films I've seen. The story begins with Aditya in an important meeting. Everyone is involved except for Aditya...who just seems vacant and lost. Then, without explanation, he leaves....drops by his old girlfriend's wedding...and then disappears....hopping the first train he sees. Obviously he was in the midst of a nervous breakdown, as you learn Aditya's father just died....and he's simply overwhelmed. Aboard the train, he's in an almost comatose state when the vivacious and wacky Geet sets with him. She has no idea who the guy is, but instantly she's talking and talking and talking to a person who simply cannot respond. She then realizes he's in trouble...and she makes it her duty to look after him and takes him home to Punjab to meet her family. What's next? See the film. What I liked about the story is that although you know how the film will eventually end, it's really not all that predictable on how it gets there. While Geet is vivacious and Aditya's withdrawn and heartbroken, it doesn't stay that way...both characters change through the course of the film. Some nice acting and music make this a nice romance...one well worth your time.",8 "Actors are excellent, DOP, director, script etc., everything is good from technical point of view. But the most important is the theme. I'm finding it very important to talk about, to show people all of this. Bullying, sex offenders, cutting yourself, also every little drama of being a high school student, all of them are important to show. And not in the ""candy sweet"" way. I remember when i was in high school, watching The Skins. Each one of my friends have agree to me that we have grew up with that show. And it really helped us to go through the high school (even if we were not on the ""loosers"" side of the school, we still had our problems). I don't know how to explain it, but i really think that compliting The Skins ""because it could have bad influence on kids"" was a big mistake, and i really hope that it won't happen to ""13 reasons why"", because i'm pretty sure it's such a good thing for young people to see that ""someone understand them and showing that to world"". Maybe it sound ridiculous but after all - the 11 reasons why Hannah Baker killed herself it's those smaller things, those ""less important"" reasons such a ""high school dramas"". I'm hoping for 3rd season and i think also that it's important to show that ""evil"" will loose, that all of Bryce's victims, supposed and will say something and that he will be punish after all. It'll be cliche, but a good example to stand out.",9 Ok the movie was great but not like the 1 it have changed but de niro was class and he made it wonderful,9 "I love it when stories have a profound meaning, but this wasn't the case. At all. You spend two hours trying to understand what the heck is going on (with way too many flashbacks), and at the end you get a really silly ending. I'd rather keep seeing Sandra Bullock in comedies, which she does pretty well.",4 Has one of the best soundtracks ever and the writing is really good at least when it's science related! I don't know why there's negative reviews but I like the series a fair amount at least with 4 hours sleep. I think the main characters are superb for their roles some people think to much; I absolutely fell in love with this show!,9 Most knew there was a nuclear accident in Chernobyl but nobody every knew how and why. Nobody knew the heroes that kept things from getting worse at the sacrifice of their own lives. After seeing this series I didn't realize how much this story needed to be told. And it was done splendidly.,9 "Oh Look its the Big Bad ******** What other nationality could it be after the North Americans esp. in the 80's? A muscle head lead of them stereotyped to look act like one of biggest action stars of era, far further.. The rest of the villains are cartoon like Austin Powers,their set around them as well! One 'Scooby' Doo gang' is superior to other, 100 percent more entertaining. The monster is scary creation. 11' is barely in show, frankly aren't we bored with her. (Actor portray her grossly overpaid and overrated) Nice to see other actors shine in roles with more screen time. The cop is just over the top, behaviourism alarming to everyone esp. females. No one should think of him as heroism! It's a ""red code red code red code"", over and over. If i was I was on the other side of the walkie talkie it would be on mute! If they don't hive the two toothpick boys a make-over for last season, (get those petitions going fans) The mushroom bowl hair cuts, thick eyebrows, shorts way above knee level! Actor Jake Busey in his cartoon switch, sounded like Jack Nicholson from the Shining, Not a compliment! ""The Never Ending Story"" of the last season should be little old 11 be the special number now know as 13 lol. All her powers will be transferred to any loved character(s) for most episodes if not all. Switch it up creators as she is not the knees bees' for many viewers! Next year's creature is straight rip off of P*******! Actor Jake Busey in his cartoon switch, sounded like Jack Nicholson from the Shining, Not a compliment! ""The Never Ending Story"" of the last season is little old 11 should be the special number now know as 13 lol. All her powers will be transferred to any loved character(s) for most episodes if not all. Switch it up creators as she is not the knees bees for many viewers! Next year's creature is straight rip off of P*******! I did not binge this, was close to two weeks, which speaks volumes. Remember Season 1 where that Halloween every character was costume that year? Well that was one an done?! I hope the last forth season brings it back to that hype all across the board.",9 A story which can be seen in every other picture now a days. not upto the standard of MI movies compared to the previous instalments...,6 Many hated this season 3 but i loved it. A pure entertainment... And the final episode is the visual treat. I accept there are few loopholes in the story like why Russians trying to open the gate but that can be explored in next season. I loved Robin and especially Erica... That little girl is talent package. But yea... I didn't like Mike's character development... Felt cringy sometimes... But overall this season is superb. Production design up to the mark.,8 "Very lighthearted, easy to digest, and amazing characters. Not difficult to understand or catch on, despite being a crime show also.",10 "I can't understand how this movie is so popular with critics and audiences alike. This felt like a replica of the Goodfellas/The Godfather/(insert movie about the mob/gangsters here) formula and it add nothing new to the movies made in the 1970's. What bothers me the most is that Joker, a movie inspired by Scorcese's work, was a refreshing work of art and it got slammed by the media as too violent. There is more violence in 2 random minutes of this movie than the entirety of Joker. It is a shame to waste great actors and a great director in such a mediocre project.",4 "These reviews seem to all agree on one thing, the visuals were great. Yes, Earth is very beautiful from space, we can stare at it all day I'm sure. But that's about it for the visuals. Earth, every once in awhile, beautifies the movie, over, and over. Other than that the visuals were above average but nothing to gawk at and be mesmerized by. Sandra Bullock, who plays a character that I guess some may be interested in but I found to be weak and lucky. Not worthy of astronaut status. George Clooney plays a robot who enjoys country music. Clichéd hero indeed. No sense of urgency at all and is very weird. I guess there may be a few psychopaths who may react like that if they were ever up in space and have been found to be imminently doomed, but I doubt they would make it to be an astronaut and would likely be trying to commit some mass genocide instead. Both characters basically suck. About 30 mins into the movie I pretty much give up on it and all hope for the remaining whatever minutes. Running at about 2% left of oxygen and they need to get to a luckily nearby unmanned space station, instead of saving their breathe they both proceed to have a half hour long conversation about nothing. About how beautiful the earth is. Or the sunrise is from space. As if the movie was made and those lines were made only to reinforce you graphic enthusiasts and would be able to call this the greatest space movie of all time, somehow. The story is pretty ridiculous overall. I am all in favor of suspending understanding of reality in favor of entertainment, but from what I heard about this movie, I was looking for a realistic depiction of space travel, maybe like Apollo 13, which essentially blows this movie away. While I understand that may be my fault for expecting this, it still doesn't change the fact this movie was pretty stupid for the most part. Sorry I paid $20 for the VUDU download.",4 Venom can never fully be venom without an r-rating. Same goes for carnage. The movie almost feels like a tease for what it could have been. When carnage is on the screen it's almost breathtaking but I personally believe he wasn't on the screen nearly enough. This movie is basically the lobster scene in the first one but 85 minutes of it. I would have given this movie a 5 or 6 but the mid credit scene might be the best one of all time so the rating jumps up a point or two.,7 "The Venom movie does very good on some aspects like the relationship between Eddie and Venom, most of the time. But it has a lot of issues, mostly superficial but they really add up and take away from the experience, especially the cheesy dialogue. There are a few pacing issues as well, to the point that certain interactions feel very forced by the script itself. Overall it is an entertaining film, but nothing more.",5 I'm not a cap America fan but this one had some good plot twists and was essential viewing for the rest of the avengers. Love black widow and enjoyed the plot about control and spin. Much better than the first instalment,7 "A pretty good show. It's far from perfect, but it definitely has enough enjoy ability to watch if you're a superhero fan. The action is good, I can tell you that as a fact.",9 "I've never been a massive fan of the Harry Potter series until recently and I only ever read about 2 or 3 of the books; so I'm not a die hard fan of the series, but i do enjoy the films a lot. I only recently finished watching the half blood prince too, so i wasn't sitting in a dark corner biting my nails waiting for this to come out, so i had no hype to disappoint me. I did however hear a lot about this film, after all, it was the first part in an epic grand finale and they definitely saved the best till last. The film was brilliant - don't get me wrong - it was full of tension and edge of your seat excitement, but throughout the film I was constantly apprehensive. I was waiting for a massive moment that was going to shock the audience - something totally unexpected - I mean, after all, this is the final piece in a massive film series. So whilst I was waiting for something to happen, nothing really did. There was some bits that I'm sure hardcore fans would tell me otherwise and who probably cried in some of those scenes, but as a regular fan; nothing really major. Overall: fantastic film, but I feel there wasn't enough major moments.",7 "Far from perfect but really not bad. Great suspense! Actors are good.. can't say I really enjoy Daniel Radcliffe (he is forever Harry Potter, sorry) but he did an ok job.",7 Good Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. The story in the movie was new and good. The movie was so interesting and thrilling. The movie lagged a lot due to some unwanted scenes in 1sr half. The 2nd half in the movie was so interesting and thrilling. The movie has some interesting twists and turns. Songs were not so good in the movie and they were not needed in the movie. BGM was good in the movie. Good Movie.,7 First of all this is a wonderful inspiring movie and a must watch. Engaging biopic much different than the below average biopics that bollywood usually produces it's a definite must watch,10 "Threatened by a Russian weapons designer with a personal grudge, Tony Stark has to conquer alcohol abuse to defend his technology in this big budget sequel to the 2008 hit. The film boasts some great special effects and the first fight sequence between Stark and Mickey Rourke (as the Russian) on a crowded racetrack is simply divine. Add in a fun turn from Sam Rockwell and 'Iron Man 2' shows a lot of promise at first; unfortunately, it fails to capitalise on this. For a superhero movie, the action is oddly sparse and limited. There are few thrilling scenes near the end, but otherwise after the initial encounter with Rourke, all we get is a pointless drunken fight between close friends Downey and Don Cheadle in the way of action -- something hardly that exciting since neither friend feels in mortal danger. The furthering of Stark's character arc is half-baked too. While the Part One offered an intelligent glimpse at naive weapons designer turned selfless philanthropist, here Stark is battling his ego, and it is only mildly interesting to watch him grow humble as opposed to completely change his outlook on life as in Part One. The film is not worthless though. The banter between Downey and Cheadle is excellent, especially towards the end, and Rourke's character is awesome. The film also has a few thoughtful things to offer in terms of how exposed vulnerabilities can be more damaging than death.",4 "Good show, interesting storyline. Explores new concepts. Better then previous marvel shows. I wish CGI was little better but it was ok. Hope they make season 2 as well.",9 Wanted to like it it but she was so hard to watch.,5 Filled with excitement and suspense and also being the build up for the next and final Harry Potter movie,8 "The only reason I wanted to see this movie is because of the scenes shot in Florence. I couldn't believe what I've been watching... Than at one point the car passes through Piazza del Campo which is in Siena... Ok, I'm done.",1 Sorry but the characters are forgettable besides the protagonist and antagonist but there's not much to them. Nothing about the score is memorable or good.,5 Purely fantastic movie! Worth watching. The screenplay and acting is beyond great. Hope the second part is released in Hindi too. Waiting eagerly now for Part 2.,10 "'Barbie' has more to it than I would've predicted. It's a good movie. I steer clear of as much film promo as possible, so was kinda expecting this to be more of a 'proper' comedy - just an assumption on my part. It does have humour but it's far from the film's main thing, there are a few chucklesome moments but I found it to be more earnest than funny. It does get a tiny bit moralistic, though undoubtedly has the right intentions and does certainly hit the nail on the head with certain points. The story itself is interesting, I like that they didn't lean deep into the usual fish out of water stuff when Barbie visits the real world. I enjoy how the world is set, with the multiple Barbies and Kens etc. The cast are great. Margot Robbie is top notch - the perfect choice. Ryan Gosling is excellent as well, while America Ferrera, Will Ferrell and Michael Cera are positives too. Away from those onscreen, the look of the film is splendid and the soundtrack fits well - even if Charli XCX's track is the only one I'd intentionally listen to. All in all, glad I watched this. I'd recommend it, even if my mum (who I watched this with, fwiw) wouldn't. 😄",7 "The movie is definetly a gem. In Bollywood I don't expect the movie with such a brilliant story idea. 5 different storys moving on and each of them intersecting each other randomly but some where interconnected to each other. The fun factor is eminent all through the movie. And the fulfilling end finally gives us the feeling of dessert after a good dinner. I could not understand why some people found the story confusing or illogical. Editing of the movie is as good as the story line and keeps the viewer interested for more. And the song ""Aabaad Barbaad"" by Arijit feels superb in the movie plot. Altogether a must watch.",9 This 6 episode show from Marvel took the ended character act of Loki and restarted his ride. With episode 1. Adding and introducing the entity of the TVA and showing us its power and uncovering the broken character of Loki.,8 "I had high hopes for this one because of the star studded cast. Not only they dropped the ball on recreating Dhaka city, somewhere in India, the plot also has major conveniences. In a movie where you have the titular stars like Chris Hemsworth, David Harbour and critically acclaimed actors like Randeep Hooda and Pankaj Tripathi ( I would call it a cameo), a little more research on the place where most of the story takes place would have been more appreciated. Indonesia sure knows how to make a badass action flick with lesser known cast and half the budget. I would rather prefer The Night Comes For Us among Netflix's action packed offerings. This movie is only watchable as a one time pop corn flick as it does not have too many redeeming qualities.",5 Truly speaking the acting has let the movie down. The story line was Good but the action and camera work was very average. I had big expectations from this movie specially following it up with the Joker's Dark night. Marion Cotillard who played Miranda in the movie was definitely the weakest performer. The scene at the end where she died was very blunt and seemed so fake. The Catwoman (Selina ) hardly had any substantial role of catwoman the way it should be according to the DC comics storyline. I guess Anne Hathaway had the looks of being The catwoman but somehow her personality didn't click in that role. I Could picture Angelina Jolie performing better characterization of Selina. Overall I was disappointed with the movie and hope the next one will be a better action movie.,4 "I can get past the women being in charge, to be honest I didn't even notice I can get past the bad science, even though I did notice it. But in all honesty, the show is just depressing to watch. They can't complete a single task without something going wrong, and when they do ~5 tasks per episode, you're basically just watching disaster after disaster. Once in a while, it'd just be nice to watch the story unfold and have something go right. It's literally as depressing as watching Schindler's List They also don't seem that smart, constantly lie and keep secrets, and you just want to scream at them for messing up everything all the time. I thought they were supposed to be smart?",1 Wanna be Jason born..... god I hate what Hollywood is doing..... what next they gonna do an female led role for pirate's of the Caribbean....oh wait........smdh the HELL MAN!!,1 "If you just want to go to cinema and enjoy a movie with your friends, this film might not be what you're looking for. I am not a film critic and I don't know how to appreciate all aspects of an artistic movie, so since it has no storyline I found it a bit boring.",5 "To the people who read the books, don't even bother (except if you are a very mediocre reader / average teenager that saw the ""best seller"" shinny sticker, skipped all the good literature and only read the juicy bits). For those who didn't read the books, please, don't judge such a beautiful, complex, deep and well written trilogy by this wannabe Twilight-like boring, plain... money-maker? thing. NOT EVEN CLOSE.",3 "I had such high hopes for this series after Season 1. The writing and characterizations were brilliant. The show was fun, compelling, all-around good entertainment. I really wish we had gotten that show back this year. We didn't.",5 "No good and a boring show completely, not did one episode was good, makers have 0 knowledge of screenplay",1 "This is supposed to be a true story but is extremely unrealistic and innacurate. I love a mystery this movie has, first half is truly a mystery movie. I'm surprised it's supposed to be a biographical movie. Anyway ending is quite dissapointing, I expected a lot better if they already done so much mystery and unrealism I expected a plot twist at the end or something a lot more interesting.",3 I couldnt wait for this to come out and when it did i saw it on the day of the release and ohh my everyone clapped and cheered at the end and in the uk no one ever does that but anyway i went with boys and girls and all of them enjoyed it i think truly it puts a message forward which might sound cringe but i dont care but everything about it was so good the acting was phenomenal the casting was amazing the cinematography the music just so good oh my god ive seen it a couple of times now and each time i finished the movie i was so happy for the rest of the day i was dancing and skipping around anyway i love this movie a lot.,10 "Am guessing that this movie is aimed at the young teenage audience and they will probably have enjoyed it a lot more than I did! I really don't rate DC productions as I find the storylines and scripts too simplistic or worse doom patrol springs to mind! At first I hoped that the movie may lean towards the adult audience like Marvels Deadpool which was a superb movie, mainly due to the costume the grown up Shazam wore sadly that is were any resemblance ended. As the cheesey naivety of his character was too much and I stopped watching halfway through. DC kids will love the movie but as an adult it had no endearing qualities whatsoever.",2 Absolutely no original ideas in it!! Everything is so predictable... Not bad but far from good. You have to be 10 years old (or a lady Xerox-gaga fan) to be overwhelmed by this show which is just a copy of what has been done before. A very big disappointment! Everything here has been seen over and over again on screen and TV series so nothing to be surprised about. You can see from far what's coming up way before it actually happens. Of course it's all about the 80th but some original ideas would have been more than welcome. Nice series to watch but not much more than a 6/10. There is so many more series that are way better than this one. Let's hope there will be some changes in season 2 but i have a lot of doubts...its so easy to copycat.......,6 "Loved the nostalgia of this show. Nice to see kids riding bikes and playing outside. Very creepy and well acted, and really captures the time period. Unfortunately, season 2 started my decline in interest and by season 3 I just didn't care anymore. A younger audience may appreciate all the seasons more than I did.",7 "I have read a couple of Terry Pratchetts books and I watched this show but I simply don't understand how anyone can find this funny. The jokes are worse than those that you get from a christmas cracker and just as old. Maybe it was funny when it was written but today it is just BAD. I was cringing at the humour and thought maybe a child might laugh but adults should be wanting something a bit more intellectual but according to all the 10's that this show has been given, they are peeing themselves at this rubbish. I guess I must be suffering from depression or something because this humour is SOOOO BADDD that I just don't get how anyone can laugh at loud or even mildly smirk. The story is not bad so I will at least give it 5 but as a comedy...a 1 would be generous.",5 "As many that were excited about this movie, I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. And as many others have pointed out, I felt this movie was a bait for every wizardinf world lover out there. I still give it 5/10 for the great Beasts, fantastic visual effects and outstanding performances by Jude Law and Jhonny Depp. But the movie is not exciting, drags for almost two hours with just dialogs and too many new characters. Half's the time I had no idea of what was happening or why certain characters are necessary. I'm still excited for the next movie and I really hope Yates and Rowling learn with the mistakes they made on this one.",6 "I REALLY tried to be patient to see if it got any better. This is sooooo BAD. Just AWFUL. After 2.5 episodes I couldn't take it anymore. Acting is really really bad. Lead character makes watching unbearable. She is crude and vulgar for absolutely no reason and her acting, body language, mannerisms are reallly bad. Seems like this was made for shock value only. What actor/producer/director of this is proud of the series??? What a waste. I want my 3 hours back.",1 "I've never been a big fan of the X-Men series. The Wolverine spin-offs haven't impressed me either. So far, this instalment has maintained a very high rating on this site. It is different enough from the others to be considered different, but different does not always been better. The first noticeable thing that is different with this is its R-rating. There's nothing wrong with a movie being rated R, especially an action movie. But this movie seemed like it tried to capitalize on the successes of Daredevil and Deadpool by making it similar in tone and grittiness. But honestly, the action here wasn't as amazing as you'd think. It is good, but not great. There is lots of blood and guts, but that literally does nothing--it neither diminishes nor elevates the quality of the action. Maybe if this was directed by the same ones that did Deadpool and some Daredevil episodes, the action would probably have been great. I guarantee it. So Logan apparently takes a more realistic and humane approach than the others. Okay I totally disagree with that. Anyway, Logan's powers are dwindling and he makes a living as a chauffeur. His latest client makes him stumble into a wild scheme that involves doctors trying to replicate mutant DNA since the mutant population is shrinking. He also must care for Professor Xavier. So what other problems do I have with this? Right off the bat, it is way too long! It goes on and on trying to forcefeed the bogus relationship between Logan, Xavier, and the girl. And the storyline is too dull to fill up that much time. And it is told so much dryer than I could have imagined. And finally, Hugh Jackman. I've never understood the big fascination with Hugh Jackman as an actor. He is far too forceful in his delivery. I didn't buy it. None of the others were good either. So good action, and not much else. 2/4",5 "This is a well made cold war new era spy movie. If you enjoy the thriller genre Tinker Tailor Soldier or Spy game, this movie will be a great experience.",9 This movie is so underwhelming and did nothing to impress me really. I was intrigued in the first hour to see what would happen in this movie but after that it was painful to watch and so bad. I admit Christian Bale was probably the only reason I'm giving this any stars. He did such a good job like always and proves yet again why he's one of the best actors in the world. But overall this movie is such an underwhelming piece of garbage and it's not interesting after the first hour. It's a shame this movie has such a stacked cast to be so awful. I wish I never spent 2 hours of my life watching this movie.,4 "I was very pleasantly surprised that the whole super hero show was not like the normal run of the mill. I am a big Marvels fan and a bigger DC hater so was worried that this had come from the DC camp . Thankfuly not as both story acting etc was executed brilliantly a real adult show binge watched the whole first series and ear gels await the next,specialy with all the cancelled marvels productions that I loved to watch this will keep me going.",8 "This film clearly falls into the Love/Hate category. I think it's one where either you like the principle idea of optimism or you detest the idea that life is simply handed to you and all you have to do is throw it away. I for one hated this film. Not for the acting, which I didn't rate very highly, although Sinise put in a good performance in my view, I'm even a fan of Hanks other work but didn't particularly enjoy his performance here. No, I hated this film for its message which I found to be so central and pervasive that I couldn't enjoy any of the rest of the film's supposed qualities. The message I got from this film was that it makes no difference what you do in life, no matter how hard you work, how talented you are or how much you believe, if you just let life go past you, obey and be good then you will be a huge success. It's a belief I see more and more and one which I find abhorrent. Strangely enough it seems that this belief is becoming true. Make an average film with average acting and you too can have a huge box office success and win multiple Oscars. Perhaps this is then a truly brilliant and ironic piece of work. I still hated it.",1 Watched this as there wasn't much else to watch but what a fantastic film all I could see was deadpool good from start to finish,10 "The Crimes of Grindelwald is a direct sequel to the Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and the 10th movie based in the Wizarding World. The story picks up right after the events of the first movie and takes place in Paris, where Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) escapes to and seeks to find his army of followers while Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) attempt to take him down. Despite resting in the adventure genre, the film shows good detective work with some unexpected twists. The movie by itself is a bold experiment, that follows several storylines with different storytelling paces, dynamics and humor, which come together by the end of it. It worked despite the fact that it was necessary for the plot to introduce new characters without throwing away the old beloved ones. Overall, the movie only makes sense if you have been following the Wizarding world or at least have seen the previous iteration. While the first Fantastic Beasts movie was a perfect standalone introduction to the wizarding world outside Hogwarts with just a few references, the second one has a lot of information, making it hard for the new viewers to sort through. The film leaves us with an open ending, making it a preparation for what is ahead.",7 The show starts in halfway first of all with no backstory of how viserys dragon balerion died . Too much of time framed skipped by editors. Too much political and change of skins from the originals. It devastating to see such good writing go in waste to such scrutinised video plays and editing. The characters portrayed has no match for the personality the queen and kings are originally described as . If you want free time entertainment of watching just dragons then its your show. Enjoy. Otherwise just skip and flip it ..!! Go read George R R Martin books. Best way to enjoy what and how exactly the characters are.,1 "Boring Boring Boring * Christopher Nolan worst movie, I'm Big fan of Mr. Nolan direction and story. * But this movie is only same like documentary of Atomic scientist, in second half it was very hard to watch. * As only court trail was in the movie & in first half they will only show case how they created atomic bomb via theoretically and lots of discussion in room for the same. * They did not showcase any bombing how it was done in Japan and what was the consequences. * Don't watch in cinemas as this can be bearable on OTT!!! * In short (Don't waste your money and most important your time).",2 "Basically it is like I said. An R rated version of Can't Hardly Wait, or a funny version of American Pie (Thats right peeps, that movie was not funny...give it up.) In Reno Nv here we got an advance screening shy of 3 weeks before the release date so with a crowded movie theatre (all seats filled) and a freakishly strict no cell phone policy (tighter than airport security) we trudged on... I haven't laughed this hard since Borat, J&S Bob strike back, Anchorman or Super Troopers. Talk about a movie where you actually care about the characters, yes, Losers make the best protagonists. Watching the movie and hearing the crowd erupt all I could think was ""Man, this movie is gonna be huge, I hope people don't ruin it and run it into the ground with quotes..."" That would be a shame.",9 "First off, I'll admit that as a murder mystery movie its got a unique angle to it. But other than that, this movie is boring and falls flat. The actors are under used...Jamie Lee Curtis and Don Johnson are barely in it. Daniel Craig does his best Foghorn Leghorn impression (heres a hint: if the character is southern GET A SOUTHERN ACTOR!) which is really distracting. I didnt care about any of the characters and I didnt really care about the outcome. If youre looking for a quirky character driven Wes Anderson style mystery...this isnt it.",5 "This is the worst horror movies in The Conjuring series. Werewolf, really?",1 "This was a weird and difficult watch on some levels. Firstly you've got Ryan Renolds who never fails to be entertaining in anything he does. He's just a funny guy so that's a big plus. And he's joined by some great casting choices here. There were a few likable people in this film, and cast giving good engaging performances. But balance that against the the director, with a track record of meaningless bombast, and a weird and problematic story. They obviously wanted to do a heroes save the world from baddies narrative, and recognised that they could not use the US military as those said heroes, not with their current track record of corruption and evil (collateral damage etc) so they invent an independent crew of mostly American rogue operators roaming the world overturning regimes they decide they don't like. It was really dicey ground in the current climate and I'm not saying it wasn't entertaining in places but some of it was way off. It was deep in the concept of cartoon baddies that can be slaughtered wholesale, brutally and violently, not to mention graphically, all with a cheeky wink. Taken scene by scene with Ryan's witty quips it didn't seem so bad but as an over all arch, it's jut kinda uncomfortable to be served this as a plateful of entertainment. I just don't think this works any more and it getting dumped as a franchise for possible sequels probably indicates that higher up powers also think that. It was impressively crafted on a notably big scale, by people who know what they're doing technically, but a lot of huff and puff for no valid end.",5 "The ordinariness of the characters in this film are so carefully crafted, and if the scenes are carefully analysed in the light of all the information, the characters are really not simple and black/white as they seem. The Coen Brothers, being brought up in Minnesota, critique the Minnesota Nice nature - people with their plain and warm exterior with folksy speaking style, but not so empathetic or well-wishing from within; the characters are as cold and distant as the letters of the film title because the characters are as emotionally isolated as story's vast empty landscape. The accent and snow, the white and distant environment, all these things accentuate the feel of the living conditions and community of northern US. I can't testify to the accuracy of the time and place, but the Coens surely give us an intriguing character study. The film takes quite a few witty jabs at capitalism and consumerism; it explores people's (here, especially Americans') obsession with fast food, television and cars. The realistic dialogues and quirkiness do make the characters stand out, like all Coen Brothers films. Many might say Marge Gunderson is the only character with good morals, but she isn't as pure as she seems. Marge, though an interesting character who defies prescribed gender roles and becomes our lead protagonist (though she enters only after one-third the film), she is as emotionally distant as the rest, as evidenced from her murder-scene inspection and ending ride with one of the kidnappers. Her routine life and by-the-book procedure, combined with her husband's not-so- sophisticated paintings about ducks and the decor of their house, exemplify the fact how they are a regular couple in a consumerist web so blissfully content in their simplicity and mediocrity. Expectation vs what's given to us. From the opening title where it says that this is based on a true story and events are shown as it occurred, a certain expectation is set. The Coens take advantage of this liberty and tell the story in the most unusual but interesting way. But they subvert these expectations by slowly inserting scenes that people couldn't have known (if the events are being shown as they occurred). But this helps us understand the characters much better. (We now know that almost the entire thing is fictional, other than, maybe, the murder that inspired them.) The Coens do this throughout the film. Two other good examples come from the scene where Marge meets her Asian friend from college. Compared to the ways Asians are traditionally portrayed in films, Mike really stood out - not at all a clichéd, accented Asian guy, but an emotionally unstable lonely guy who still stays with his parents in his 30s. And the story he tells Marge about his life, we immediately lap it all up, just like Marge does, not realising that the story had the exact plot details from 'Love Story'. The Coens surely take other such jabs at American pop culture. It's not what you expect from a true-story-based crime thriller. It's not what you expect from a comedy. Coen Brother films never usually fit into a single genre, and the unusual blend of crime and humour makes the film stand out. And without Roger Deakins, the film wouldn't look the way it does. That parking lot scene has been praised and analysed to death by now. And yes, it's a spectacular shot and has so much to say. The acting from everyone in the cast is terrific, especially Steve Buscemi, Frances McDormand and William H. Macy. Macy gives us such a unique and memorably loathsome character - an apathetic, selfish and cowardly hypocrite, always maintaining such a cheery facade. But he represents the frustrations felt by the pawns in the capitalist system, rarely able to earn or save much to be financially or emotionally satisfied. Hence, his various schemes to collect enough money, run away and start a new comfortable life. Though just a little less than 100 minutes, the film has been assembled with such attention to detail and innovation that it can be analysed and understood in so many different ways. It's not something that seems so great in the first view itself, but the more you see it or think about it, the more it lingers in your mind. Clever to end the film with the words ""Two more months"", since we know it might be a reference to the end of winter when the snow might melt and reveal the suitcase to a passerby.",8 Was a big fan of the knives out . Was looking forward for this and frankly glass onion crossed all of my expectations. Man seriously story and script is amazing .. it's very different than knives out but maintained the same humor and suspense . Rian out did himself which glass onion. Daniel was perfect . All the cast was amazing and the twist are even more in this . Netflix should have kept the movie in theater at least for a longer period and then added to the streaming.. if any one fan of knives out please do watch this either in theater or on Netflix . You won't get disappointed. Perfect holiday movie.,9 "I've thoroughly enjoyed del Toros work over the years, and I am an avid Sci-fi fan so this would have been a match in heaven if the movie hadn't been so utterly predictable, boring and... correct. Growing up in Sweden, this movie really reminded me of the 70s and 80s when movies where there to educate the masses and not to entertain. Political messages - I don't really care if they are ""right"" or not - belong in propaganda, unless the movie is about said political, obviously. Simply cramming it into a movie - for absolutely no real reason - gives me the shivers. Stop the subterfuge already! And then, predictability. Oh for goodness sake, who did not see that ending come after, what, 15 minutes? Maybe I've seen too many Sci-fi flicks but it was quite clear immediately. Not the usual del Toro way. I guess I feel perplex after watching this. Del Toro is good, very good, but this? And this is what brings the Oscars? Let's all hope this movie does not start a trend.",2 "There is so much action in this movie that none of the scenes, kills or stunts actually stand out. They all just blend into one another. And the fighting style is not quite the same as in the first two movies, not as quick and calculated. And as for the story... there almost is none. Its not a bad movie to have playing in the background while you type the review because you know you aren't missing anything.",4 "I like probably three out of four MCU movies and maybe half of the MCU TV shows so far but I found this to be the worst of the bunch. I don't understand all the 10 reviews. Maybe you need to read the comic book to enjoy this but so far it's terrible on so many levels by brain is rebelling at even having to describe all the ways I did not enjoy this show. The special effects are OK but it seems like these MCU shows are coasting on people adoring them because there is no possible way any MCU show can be less than perfect. I think book of boba fett falls into the stinker category too but at least it had a coherent plot.",1 "The Godfather Part II is not only one of the greatest films ever mad but is also the greatest sequel of all-time that is an excellent,brilliant and unforgettable masterpiece that combines amazing direction,terrific acting from a great cast,a wonderful script and a haunting score. All of those elements make The Godfather Part II film making and Francis Coppola at their best. Set in Las Vegas,Nevada in the 1950s and in New York City in the 1910s and 20s,The Godfather Part II tells two parallel rise and fall stories. The rise story depicts the rise of young Vito Corleone(Robert De Niro),showing Vito as an Italian immigrant who gets into a life of Crime and becomes a Don. The fall is the story of Michael Corleone(Al Pacino)who is still running the Corleone family in Las Vegas but has to deal with betrayal and the family falling apart. The Godfather Part II is simply a masterpiece of cinema and is the greatest and most ambitious sequel of all-time that is not only an instant classic from the moment you watch it but also an amazing and powerful follow-up to the original giving viewers not only a great continuation of The Godfather saga but giving viewers the sequel to end all movie sequels. I won't say which film is better because in my opinion saying Part I or Part II is better than one another would be disrespectful to the two films because both are works of art. With The Godfather Part II Director Francis Ford Coppola has created not only created just a sequel but a film that is more epic with a bigger and larger scope than the first film giving viewers a powerful experience that never lets you go from the opening frame. With The Godfather Part II viewers are not just given a movie about the Mob,Gangsters or the Crime world but a movie about the on going tragedy,sadness and doom that hangs over The Corleone family while showing the rise of a young Vito Corleone. This film is probably more darker than the first film because when we see the fall of Michael Corleone and the rest of the Corleone family is almost like the fall of the Roman Empire. Unlike most sequels The Godfather Part II doesn't make the same story like the original but gives us something new and fresh with a great tale that is on par with the first film. The Godfather Part II is an epic film in the truest sense of the word not just in the way it's film but the length of the film(at 3 hrs and 20 minutes)but the film moves by seamlessly that you forget you are watching a three and half hour film. I think the film moves at a fast pace is because of the amazing storytelling that Coppola does with the film giving the movie a nonlinear style with the movie moving back and forth with the time periods but never getting lost in the narrative. In GFII we are given two tales about Michael's downfall and young Vito's rise. Michael,while still a don and running the Corleone family has become more ruthless and colder then he was in the first film further isolating himself from his other family members and becoming less trusting with the people all around him whether it's business associates or family where everyone was his enemy which leads to Michael's tragic fall. In contrast we see a young Vito Corleone,a man who is about business but is also about his family and friends despite being in the violent world of the Mob and Vito handles things with calm and cool style. When we see Michael and Vito the lighting is different with Michael constantly being surrounded by darkness and Vito is surrounded in bright light showing the contrast in atmosphere. With Michael and Vito we see how complex and different they are not just as Dons but as people. The screenplay by Francis Coppola and Mario Puzo is outstanding with scenes and dialog that is memorable and on par with the first film. While GFII isn't as violent or bloody as the original and doesn't have a huge body count GFII still has a few violent scenes that done with attention to detail and build-up. The ending of The Godfather Part II is one of the best endings in movie history because it's sad,tragic and somber matching the dark tone of the rest of the movie and the ending will punch you in the gut. A powerful ending. The cast is perfect. Al Pacino is excellent,powerful and at his best as Michael Corleone,with Pacino being cold,intense and ruthless in the performance. Robert De Niro is brilliant in his Oscar winning role as Young Vito Corleone,with De Niro being cool and charismatic. Robert DuVall is wonderful once again as Tom Hagen,The Corleone's lawyer. John Cazale is amazing as Fredo Corleone,Michael's dim-witted older brother. Diane Keaton is outstanding as Kay,Michael's suffering wife. Talia Shire is sensational as Connie Corleone,Michael's sister. Lee Strasberg is terrific as Hyman Roth,an old time gangster and associate of the Corleone's. Michael V. Gazzo is captivating as Frank Pentangelli,a member of the Corleone family. Bruno Kurby and John Aprea are great Young Clemenza and Young Tesso. G.D Sparadin(Senator Pat Geary),Dominic Chianese(Johnny Ola),Frank Sivero(Genco)and Richard Bright(Al Neri)give great performances as well. The direction by Francis Ford Coppola is amazing and stylish,with Coppola bringing a beautiful and haunting visual style to the film. Terrific direction,Coppola. The score by Nino Rota is outstanding,powerful,haunting and beautiful matching the main scenes in the film. Great score,Rota. In final word,if you love Francis Coppola,Gangster films,Mob movies,the first Godfather or movies in general,I highly suggest you see The Godfather Part II,an excellent,brilliant and unforgettable masterpiece of cinema and is one of the greatest films and sequels of all-time and is a movie that you will watch again and again. Highly Recommended. 10/10.",10 "When I saw the serie I didn't know the story,the characters etc... because I have never played the game or read the books. So my critic is from the side that didn't know about The Witcher. I think the story is well scripted, the dialogues are fun and the actors ( especially Calvin ) did a great job by representing them. All characters have an original language, especially Gerald, and this makes the show more interesting. Furthermore it contains irony, which makes scenes enjoyable. I found problems by distinguishing flashback scenes with present scenes, they should do something about it. In general this show is amazing and I can't wait for season 2!",9 "Gravity is a beautiful movie and good experience when watched in the cinema regarding the outstanding realistic CGI, it shows us the endless emptiness and silence up in space. However, the weak plot, acting and dialogue makes the movie very boring",7 "Shah Rukh Khan has given a heart warming and sincere performance in Swades. He gets under the skin of his character. Some movies entertains you, Some Inspires you, Some touches your heart & Some teaches you to Stand Up and Do Something. SWADES is one of the rarest movies that is very necessary to be seen as it evokes a feeling of giving something back to the society and thereby the country that has given you so much. Watch this movie with an open heart and patience _ It's a heart-pounding immigrant experience and one that you'll never be able to get off your mind even after years of watching it. What a classic movie....",10 "Not bad, Not great. If you want to look it as a single & independent fantasy show, well, it's not bad. But if you look it as a part of the MCU and the start of the multiverse saga, it's a good start.",7 "This remake is visually stunning but fell flat on my expectations. I loved the nostalgia of James Earl Jones reprising his role, and Glover did a good job as Simba, but Beyonce... Don't get me started. She is incredibly talented but the choices made regarding her singing in this film were sad. ""Can You Feel the Love Tonight"" is near and dear to me as it was in my wedding, but Beyonce ruined it by turning her parts into a pop song spoof. Also, in an attempt to not make it shot-for-shot, Timon and Pumbaa's jokes were changed and lost the humor and whimsy that was in the original.",4 "First of all, the series are enjoyable. I could watch the whole first season in one sitting (thanks to the pandemic). The production is great, Henry Cavill is the best. But like other say, the timeline is confusing. After I watch them all I could see the big layout of the story. And it has great potential. But the writing is disappointing.",7 Very impressive movie. We need more movies of this kind.,10 "Well i watched all episodes season1 and can tell this is not for me. I gave it a rlly good shot and just didnt like it..it had some good moments but overall its average show for me. I get some ppl like it.. but NOT even close a second to GOT!",5 Pretty terrible. No real plot. The whole Margot Robbie line was a complete waste of time. Only Brad Pitt and Leo could have pulled it off to be something watchable,6 "What a gripping film. From start to end, the drama was fantastic. The plot thickened as the movie progressed and a brilliant climax too! Must go to watch and id happily give ten stars if I could.",10 Too much political undertones and social commentary for my taste.,5 "Netflix said this was in English!! One point off for that. Average acting. Spoken language was eeh, argh, o, kah, poo, chum - with commas after every single word. Cinematography was absolutely lovely! Though the beginning and ending was very predictable.",4 "Was this some cruel joke of a 2-hour long SNL sketch? Sandler is capable of so much more, I have no clue why he took this role. The movie is pathetic. Sandler is yelling and screaming through more than 3/4 of his lines. It's non stop craziness and stupidity from start to finish. They should have taken the last scene, put it up front and called it quits and put us all out of our misery much earlier.",2 "Man of steel, lord of the rings (hobbit 1-...), star wars, the Hangover, Expandables and now this boring saga's final episode. this exemplifies what todays movie industry is all about; rather make more money of the same than creating something completely new. Has the film industry made you all so numb that you'll happily digest yet another microwaved Hollywood turd. faulted plots, dodgy sequences, half dimensional characters, all carefully packed in a three hour computer animated fx gift wrapping. However, regardless how you spice up a turd. It will always taste like a turd. And with so many positive ratings it starts to look like IMDb or the producers got into the business of buying Facebook- and like-me friends in India and China. Money might buy you Good ratings but not a Good movie...",2 "Great themes, sweetly played out with humour, real drama, menace and pathos. But as an English person I'm finding that Urban's truly appalling non-accent, along with his uber corny delivery (especially in Series 2) are really getting me down.",7 "The saga continues with Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) fully in charge as the unflinching leader. The family drama just gets more and more darker. We are seeing the moral disintegration of Michael. The movie also gets a separate timeline for young Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro). While that is interesting at times, it is very disruptive especially since it's all in Italian. Meanwhile, Michael's story keeps getting better. How could you forget ""I know it was you, Freddo. You broke my heart."" or ""Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."" And John Cazale shines as Fredo. His exchanges with Al Pacino are epic. And the emotional grenade tossed by Kay (Diane Keaton) is absolutely stunning. All in all, it is a great effort for a sequel to a masterpiece!!!",10 Daniel Craig and Toni Collette must be laughing all the way to the Bank. I saw this piece of rubbish tonight in Sydney with two friends. They both dozed off to sleep during this tedious nonsense. I can't believe some of the Actors putting their names to this. DON'T BOTHER !!,1 "I can't even describe how impressed I am. This show is so emotional. Brilliant actors, original and fresh story. I felt strong connection to main heroes, worried about them each episode. Second season is very good, on level with the first. Emotional part of my brain wants more, but rational part says no. Because it's very easy to screw the things up. But if they will make a good third season, okey i'm in!",8 I did not even watched it completely cause it was so boring.,1 "I am from punjab, a friend of mine who blocked me remembers me while watching the movie and unblocks me. What more do you need from a movie? PS: The story is great too.",10 "Very nicely written and directed. Must watch who like suspense in the movies. Will keep you guessing till the end. some scenes are so powerful, like never seen stuff before.",9 "Let's be honest Daniel, was never that great an actor in the HP films. When he was young you could put his wooden acting down to age. But by the end of the films it was clear, he's just not that good. In my opinion his only and greatest achievement is managing to grow up surrounded by some of the very best actors the world has to offer in the HP films and not managing to pick up any talent for himself. He is quite proud of the fact he never went to drama school, well I wouldn't be. Why am I going on about him? Well you see he keeps being given parts I assume on his HP past and he ruins any film he is in. Which spoils it for the other actors in the films. Many of whome could dance circles round the sorting hat and can act DR under the table.",2 "This show is magnificent, if you haven't seen it you should definitely watch it. The character ark for each of the main characters is definitely outstanding.",10 I enjoyed this show but the second half went at a snails pace. It got boring very quickly and the last few episodes just seemed like they were strung out and could have been done inside 2 with more content added in the third. Seems more like a cheap attempt at Disney trying to rope in more subscribers rather than giving fans a decent show to watch.,5 "Really can't believe this is getting above a 7 in the reviews, reviews look like BS to me! Everything about this is ridiculous, the acting, the storyline, special effects... MCU is dying at a rapid pace unfortunately and if they keep bring stuff out like this, lots of old and new fans won't be back. Just hoping the new Doctor Strange and the new Thor films can redeem Marvel from this dung!! Disney subscription cancelled!",1 "Its a personal bias but I just cant enjoy psychology mumbo jumbo in any story. I simply dont find it interesting in the least and thats not just a Moon Knight thing. Pretty much any story that has split personas turns me off. I feel the same about badly written time travel. Aside from my dislike for psychology stories, writing is poor as well. Episode 3, for example, pits us in a court run by gods and the scene was so embarrassing to watch that I questioned if a real human wrote it. Maybe my standards are too high but the dialog was something I expect from my 7 year old son. Actually no, I expect better from him as well. Mind you this wasnt meant to be funny, it was supposed to be a serious scene. Anyway I soldiered on to finish the series and we saw similarly bad writing in episode 4 and 6. The acting seemed ok to me. No one really stood out but no one was horrible. The acting was sufficient but the materials were just terrible so there was no salvaging the show with great acting. The CGI was pretty bad overall but I owe that to the character design to begin with. Moon Knight, in general, is just lame in terms of how he looks. The costume is just lame, the gods are childish, and the characters internal struggles were boring and made no sense. I think this one would appeal to folks to who like DC tv shows. The writing is about that level so if you can look past it, you might be able to get some enjoyment out this Marvel counterpart. But its not for me.",3 "Watching the first episode, I was thinking the show is a 9. But it hasn't held up well. Bacon and a few of the other actors give great performances, but the show has stretched and padded the story out to forever. And at times I can't help but say ""no way this would ever happen."" And there are uninteresting characters that you just don't need to know about, and there's way too much just talking about stuff. Overall I'm disappointed, but I keep watching mainly just for Kevin Bacon. He's awesome in this.",6 "After having this on my watch list for some time, I wish I would have skipped it. I like Adam Sandler and he's a good actor but you will either like this movie or hate it. I didn't care for it, besides all the chaos, which is most of the point of the story, I couldn't stand all the yelling. He has a serious gambling problem, his life is a mess and he makes bad decisions, one after another. I wanted to turn it off after about 30 minutes but tortured myself and watched the whole thing. I'm not sure why so many people are surprised when comedic actors can do serious parts, after all, they are actors.",3 "Very pretty movie to look at. I love everything concerning its technical aspects: the set designs, the color use, the costumes, the score, the lighting,... Unfortunately, the story does nothing to me; I couldn't care less about all the characters. Anyway, it's a comfortable watch and I'd recommend this film for its style alone.",5 "A classic sitcom about an unlikely friendship at a community college with people of various age and ethnicities? No, this show starts off with this illusion while slowly pulling away the facade of being ahead of its time with its humour, storytelling that's ""streets ahead"", wholesome moments and morbid ones, and characters that will stay with you. From season 1-3 being some of the best television ever created, season 4 that saw a steady fall in story quality due to problems behind the scenes, season 5-6 being good, but some elements are missing. People getting into it now did probably, like me, discover that Dan Harmon previously had made this before starting on Rick and Morty. This show was a starting ground for a some of the biggest actors, artists, composers, screenwriters, and directors to date while being cancelled at least twice.",8 """Jojo Rabbit"" is a Comedy - Drama movie in which we follow a young boy who is a member of Hitler's army finding out that his mother is hiding a girl at their house. Everything change for him and now he has to choose wisely what to do. I have to say that ""Jojo Rabbit"" was a good surprise for me because I didn't know what to expect from it. I enjoyed the movie because it combined very well comedy with drama and make me feel that I am a part of the movie. Taika Waititi did a great job on direction and he played very well as Adolf Hitler and in some moments he was simply hilarious. The interpretations of Roman Griffin Davis who played as Jojo, Thomasin McKenzie who played as Elsa and Sam Rockwell who played as Captain Klenzendorf were simply amazing.",7 "1st season: the greatest. 2nd season: still great. 3rd season: full of unnecessary violence - achieving gore limits - and lots of (long) disgusting goo scenes. Most of the 80's magic was replaced by trash movie ideas. 0k, the 80's are full of trash culture but Stranger Things wasn't following this path... Till now...",6 "I am not going to spoil anything but you need to watch this. The acting and 80's magic perfectly sets the mood, seasons 3 and 4 are very memorable and different, but in a good way.",9 "No horror at all and not even any cool visuals Movie would be really bad if not for Sandra Bullock. Starts out great and really captures the audience but it never shows, explains or really ends with anything satisfactory.",6 "Who could like this series, who? The plot is so weak we don't care. The characters lack so much depth we don't care. The setting is so dull and dark and rocky we don't care. The dragons are so numerous and aimless we don't care. The theme is, well, entirely lacking, so we don't care. Umm, let's see... Oh yes, the casting is so bad we don't care. The greed of the writers and producers was so great in creating this nothing of a soap opera we don't care. I didn't want to finish episode 1, nor 2, nor 3, and now I just shut down episode 7 because, well, they gave me no reason to care. The ONLY reason I am watching all the episodes is because I paid for HBO MAX and want my money's worth. Where by the way is Big Little Lies new series? What happened to HBO? Where is another Soprano's or Rome? What happened to this network? George R. R. Martin, you need to stop counting the money, stop writing, and go into retirement because this is shameless. To be fair though, while awaiting House of Dragons at 9 pm, we watched White Lotus and really enjoyed that series. So, you get a green star.",3 "Loved the movie, storyline and the acting done by actors. More such movies need to be made. I found the second half to be slightly lengthy but again overall the movie is brilliant.",10 "I did something very silly. I never watched this movie until 20 years after its release, and also after watching the impressive first season of Fargo as a TV show. I wish I had watched it sooner. Fargo is absolutely exceptional in terms of its writing and originality. With this, some truly excellent cast performances make it a timeless classic. Every cast member is exceptional. They all deliver offbeat performances that ensure this movie encapsulates numerous genres. The script is absolutely flawless, and ensures this will always be a cult classic. The sense of humor, setting, intricate plot and outstanding acting performances guarantee you one of the most memorable movies you will ever see.",8 Fantastic series .. its so good and heartbreaking story and the last episode was so emotional,1 "I came into this film with high expectations based on the director's previous work, and that Defoe is it in. What a disappointment! While the cinematography was excellent, the story was a complete shambles...the film basically revolves around two characters arguing and fighting between themselves in a drunken stupor, and this is stretched out over 2 hours! How this film got such excellent buzz is beyond me. Give this one a pass if you value your time.",3 "I think the movie is selling only due to it's predecessors, most of whom were built with great care and vision. action wise, infinity war was way ahead of this slow paced dashed hope. only relief at the end is that thankfully it's over and they can now focus on movies with one or two superheroes at max.",3 This series is absolutely awesome. I Mean great. Great acting and vey entertaining. It's nice to have a show where you can sit back and just enjoy and laugh. Please RENEW !!!!!!!!!,10 "I don't usually write reviews, but this film left me so disappointed, frustrated, and confused, that I felt like I simply had to share my thoughts. The main problem with the film is that put aside everything that actually matters in a movie (plot, character development, et cetera), and instead tried very hard to set the precedent for what upcoming ""Fantastic Beasts"" movies will be. In other words (and as many people in reviews I've read have already mentioned), it tries to build a franchise but leaves good storytelling aside. One of the movie's major problems is the script, which is a complete mess; exposition is aplenty (seriously. There is A LOT of artificial exposition). Many things previously established by the Harry Potter movies and books are completely ignored, from small details to huge parts. Characters are underdeveloped, and mostly feel like disposable plot devices. Some pieces of dialogue are cringe-worthy. And mostly, the story's main twist is absurd, desperate, and negates an immense part of what we know about the Harry Potter universe. It's pretty unbelievable that this was written by J.K Rowling herself. And it's not like this is the best she can do, because the script of the first ""Fantastic Beasts"", while flawed, was enjoyable and made for a nice, fun film. The tone of the film was totally different from that of the first movie; the music was forgettable; the directing was inconsistent and lazy; the cinematography was terrible, using lots of very distracting close-ups, as well as shaky cam in action scenes (with choppy editing to go with it). One of the few things that is actually pretty good about this movie is the acting. There are too many characters in the movie, which doesn't give most actors enough time to shine in their roles, but they make for a nice ensemble. The two performers who stand out the most are Jude Law and Johny Depp, who make for an amazing Dumbledore and Grindelward, respectively. Also, some funny scenes actually made me smile, or even laugh. The visual tone of the film was very enjoyable, too. Overall, ""Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald"" is a pretty bad movie with very few redeeming qualities. I walked out of the theater sad, disappointed, and even a little angry. If you're a Harry Potter fan, you may find some elements in this film that you might enjoy. If you're not, you might want to spend your time on something better. I hope that J.K Rowling knows what she's doing, and that the rest of the franchise's movies are better than this.",5 "This movie was definitely not for me. In tone it's quite similar to ""Pushing Daisies"" or ""A Series of Unfortunate Events"", meaning it asks the viewer to actively suspend their disbelief. But even when done so, it delivers a cold, alien romance that fails to move my heart (which is usually easily moved). It's hard to connect with any of the characters, except for Zelda. But she's just a sidekick that's never really developed fully. Visually the movie is stunning. And perhaps my expectations of it being a thought provoking sci-fi ruined it for me. Instead I got of a fantasy fairy-tale for adults. Which comes of as really weird, all the sexual connotations are just as flat and cold as the romantic overtones. Giving it a four simply for the quality of cinematography. As far as stories goes there are far better",4 "It´s a film without emotion. Well filmed and with some of the best actors in the world, it practically transmits nothing. Love for cars, calling cars as if they were women, being moved by engine revolutions, have nothing to do with the current times of silent, electric and non-polluting cars. But above all they do not transmit anything, family situations, servility towards bosses, nor, how did he say any emotion.",5 "A group of rag-tag software developers get more than they bargained for when their startup begins work on a revolutionary new algorithm. I enjoyed this whackey journey. Along with Sergei who can do maths in his head, Lindon who beat the coding challenge at 13, and Barry (or Gary) who is old, but still hip hop hippidy hop with his references to Coltrane and Yeats. Despite what others have said, I also enjoyed the character of Lily. I've never seen an inanimate piece of clay serve as the main protagonist in a sot com. Well done, Alex.",8 "Despite a world of hype and great word of mouth, Batman Begins kind of fizzles, beginning tediously and nearly saving itself with an excellent second half. It's good, not great, Caped Crusader pulp fiction; better than Batman and Robin and Batman Returns, but not quite as good as the second original Batman. A well-known comic book character has an albatross around its neck: its own history. Since we know a lot about Batman, the movie about his genesis has to really convince us it's the same guy - it has to be sincere. Well, Batman Begins is awfully earnest - perhaps much too earnest - and the origins of certain of his trademarks are well explained, but the movie suffers from a noncharismatic lead and a tone that seems more suited to a generic James Bond movie. Let's star with Bats himself, Christian Bale. Bale is perhaps best known as the serial killer in American Psycho, and while playing a psychotic might well prepare one for being Batman, he simply doesn't provide enough oomph to the role. Remember, the role demands that the actor be hidden in a lycra suit for a good deal of the movie, so he has to be expressive with his face, commanding with his voice; a strong presence, in other words. Bale doesn't quite accomplish any of this - he comes off as more of a poor man's Tom Cruise, with limited facial expressions and emotions. Plus - and I don't mean to be unkind here - Bale has a gigantic light bulb for a head. Bruce Wayne's supposed to be somewhat suave; I kept looking for the dangly chain to make him light up. Moving on, we see the highly publicized Katie Holmes as the requisite love interest, Rachel Dawes. Holmes is amusingly miscast, far too much of a lightweight for the role. Her character is supposed to be in her twenties, but poor Katie acts and looks like she's still in high school. As with Bale, I looked in vain for something - a class ring, in Holmes' case. At any rate, she's about as convincing as Chris Farley as the Pope. There's not much chemistry between her and Bale in the few scenes they share, and she seems like she's only four lessons into a ten-lesson course of Acting with an A. Luckily, the supporting gang is quite good; this is what happens when you hire talented veteran talent. The elegant Michael Caine is onboard as Alfred, Bruce's butler and muse. Caine was born for the veddy proper role, and one can easily see the latter-day Alfred (Michael Gough in the other films) in Caine's portrayal. Morgan Freeman is Lucius Fox, the scientist who gets Bruce his Cool Gadgets, and Rutger Hauer is the nominal boss of Wayne Enterprises, megalomaniacally trying to take over the company, or something. Hauer's sort of wasted - any Eurotrash would have done as well in the role. But most of the other major supporting characters are the underwire to the bra of the plot. That's a good thing, for all you virgin males out there. Director Christopher Nolan is the guy who gave us Memento and Insomnia, but the trouble here is that there's nothing Christopher Nolan-like about the movie. Tim Burton's Batman had Tim Burton written all over it, and that's one thing that made it as successful as it was. But normally, with movies in a series (for example, the Bond films) it's not necessary to get a Big Name director to do the deed; you just need someone who will be true to the oeuvre; the Bat universe, in this case. So although it's nifty that they got the hot Nolan to direct, I don't think it was necessary. Batman Begins isn't badly written at all, but the first half does seem awfully slow. Get to the good stuff, you may whine. Let's lay off this James Bond crap and get to the avenging-death-of-parents bit. It's good that we learn why Bruce chose the Batman name, how he came upon his cape and gadgets, where the Batmobile came from, and when the Bat Signal was first used... but we need to see all that mystical be-the-one mumbo jumbo? I felt like I'd stumbled upon an old Mountain Dew commercial.",6 "Best episode of whole anime history, well written and well made... One of best anime I've ever seen after fullmetal alchemist brotherhood of course",10 "I've waited until all episodes of this were available. It had such good ratings I thought I'd keep it for a binge watch. This first thirty minutes of episode one were action packed but from there in it's gotten worse and worse. It's a mix of The Walking Dead ( which was dead from series 3 ) and The strain ( I did enjoy this though ). So boring, so depressing and so generic. This having a rating of 9 plus is an isult to all of the other 9 rated shows worthy of such high praise. I'm up to episode four now, after reading some of the reviews I thought I'll stick it out but enough is enough. Same old story just in a slightly different format. I wouldn't bother if I were you.",5 "Everyone, that is, except for those who, should they get to heaven, the diamonds will be too bright. Gabriel will be blowing his trumpet too loud, etc etc etc. I'm writing this review after the start of season three, now three episodes in, and the series has gotten better as it progresses. I read some of the negative reviews. Why rate a romantic fantasy if you aren't into this genre? The casting is perfect, having read the books, and the production values on all counts are top notch. I can't find anything negative to say, other than I wish each season had a few more episodes. The tension remains high from episode to episode, and the story arc is heading for an end, but who knows where the series writers will take us?",8 This movie was incredibly boring. It kinda had me in the start but lost me afterwards. I guess it's goos in other aspects of filmmaking but I watch a movie for entertainment.,2 "I've watched to episode 13 now, and will admit at first(through first 4 episodes or so) Some of the jokes and dialouge kind of annoyed me,and the story seemed to have no connection, but I kept to it and I'm glad I did. First, I have a feeling we will get some pretty excellent star power in this show if it continues on (i.e.) I have a feeling Samuel Jackson (fury) and Thor will most deffinently make appearances. It's just a gut feeling but i know it will happen and I'm excited for when it does. Second, with each episode I enjoy each character's story more and more as they provide back story. They are all very interesting. and in my opinion chose the right actor for each cast member. As for the story itself, I think it is developing quit nicely and seems to only get better with each episode to me. So I'm always excited to see the next one. My only gripe: WHY DOES IT TAKE A FULL MONTH FOR A NEW EPISODE SOMETIMES???",10 "Honestly speaking, TVF Aspirants is not bad but, TVF pitchers writing is next level. TVF pitchers is international class web series. STILL my TVF pitchers number 1 web series in India. We want TVF Pitchers like smart team in writing, directing and screenplay in next TVF big web series. We are waiting.. We highly want second session of TVF pitchers.",7 "What's in the hell have they done to this movie, they had awesome and amazing actors like Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman from Fargo but the series just keeps getting stupider by each passing episode. Very very very dissapointed",4 "This is a beautiful show . Even if you don't like chess or understand it , you'll enjoy The Queen's Gambit and trust me , it's hard not to binge watch. One of the best series out there!",8 "I am a huge Marvel fun and obviously the writers of this script have seen zero Marvel movies and really don't get it. SO ANNOYING. Bucky's characters started out well and then just became too emotional.. Almost no joked and a lot of political opinions that ruin the fun. SO MUCH TALKING. SO MUCH. I skipped big parts of the chapters. BTW chapter 5 don't even..",1 "Reviews are so good for such a boring film. Missed the mark. Too many famous actors, no convincing roles.",1 "Here we mix ""ET"" with ""Amélie"" with ""The Creature from the Black Lagoon"" and we get a movie so sweet that it will put you in a diabetic coma. The bad guy is ""really"" bad complete with ominous music following his entrance. The Russians are a parody of themselves. I'm surprised ""Boris Badenov"" didn't make a cartoon cameo appearance. Putting aside the intra-species love story, the whole script is as predictable as it is sappy. No wonder it is nominated for ""original"" screenplay...only Hollywood could give birth to this. Three stars ⭐ only because I paid a non-matinée premium.",3 "My high expectations for this film, based on it's awards and nominations, critical acclaim, and general reputation, were ultimately not met as this film that neither revealed anything new about the subject of slavery, nor fulfilled any satisfying sense of interest in or appreciation for the characters. The original story may or may not have been compromised for this film adaptation, but the dramatic arc seemed to me relatively slight, and the characters and the dialog old and cliché. I felt like ""12 Years a Slave"" offered little more on the slavery film than had been presented in the past. I have technical complaints as well. I thought the acting was often over the top. The characters lacked real depth, subtlety, or originality. In life, are people always this one-dimensional? Also, I never understand the need to place recognizable actors in small roles? It's distracting to see Michael K Williams (of ""The Wire"" and ""Boardwalk Empire"") in the film for only about 5 minutes (he had two scenes). Or Brad Pitt, or Paul Giamatti... it just is there to remind me that this is a big financial production and not a story. Overall, I was simply too distracted by so many bad moments and production details to allow me to forget that this was basically big Hollywood ""Oscar-bait"".",2 "This is a terrible movie. The one word to describe this movie is boring. There is no plot. No character development. Camera work and direction are like something you would expect from a film student's class project. I still don't know why this movie was titled ""Monnlight."" Mahershala Ali brought some life to this film as he does with all the projects he's in but somehow he disappears in the middle of the movie without any explanation. He wasn't bad considering the corny dialog he was forced to say. According to IMDb this is Barry Jenkins' first direction and he only has 8 writing credits and this lack of experience shows in the film. It wasn't clear what city this was in and in the first third of the movie the main character refused to even talk making the dialog so awkward I almost quit watching. Many of the scenes are very long single shots that were about as interesting as watching a spider crawl up a wall. In one pivotal scene our main character is about to do something and the camera has a POV shot of him walking through door after door after door after door, so many I lost count. The only thing that went through my mind was having all these doors shut in a building full of people is probably a fire hazard. I never gave a thumbs down (5 stars or less) to an Academy Award winner for best picture until now and I've seen them all from 1960-present and most from 1930-1960. I'm giving this 2 stars instead of 1 in deference to the Academy of Motion Pictures.",2 "This is a hilarious stoner movie made by a bunch of up and coming comedy trope, You know- Seth Rogen, Michael Cera, Jonah Hill and the likes. This one is well made and consistently funny. Its strange to think that many of the cast here are big stars now but this is where it began. It's a coming of age story which is hilarious and makes you ponder at the same time.",7 "Where's the mischief? A god running around constantly in a custodians attire... Love Loki but this did not do him justice at all... BIG Marvel fan but this and all the other series are absolute weak sauce... Hawkeye on the other hand did a great job, Falcon was pushing its race agenda... wandavision a terrible sitcom... guess what Disney, You don't got this! The infamous cringeworthy sentence of Hollywood 'you got this' has been milked in every movie and series and never fails to make me puke a lil on the inside. America saying 'they got this' is more unbelievable then actually believing super powers can be real.",4 This is a nice story. The only problem I have with the production is how dark and dingy the filming is. It seems to be a trend these days along with the horrible music that we have to suffer with. Are movie sets trying to save money on lighting equipment these days? Even the outdoor scenes are dark and gloomy. Is that part of the theme? It doesn't work for me.,8 "Actually this movie is not that brilliant! It has a good start, but then the plot is just disappointing. The end ruins the whole movie. The occuring violence is a very simple move to finish the messed up plot. And do not expect good acting or realistic characters. It is just overacting.",5 "Like others, I've found it confusing the back & forth through time which isn't really defined at all. It's a good show, but this is a serious flaw. It's created needless confusion which detracts from the show. In episode 7 it's further confusing, as in the earlier episodes we are given the impression Ciri the Princess hasn't met the Witcher, then in episode 7 they show the Ciri meeting the Witcher when she's younger? It needs to be clearer what/when these things are set. The show is constantly going back and forth every episode. Please make this clearer. Otherwise decent show.",5 "This is a movie without any story, just a compilation of scenes with the same characters. A lot of it doesn't make much realistic sense. There is no plot, no objective, and very little character development. While each individual scene is kind of stressful there is nothing that ties any of it together (except perhaps the same characters, who are not very interesting) Although there seems to be some knowledge of the aspects of war, the script is immature, unable to produce any compelling drama. If you watch the first ten minutes then you've seen the whole movie. At some points it seems like it comes close to developing a plot but nothing materializes and we are back at square one. There was some good camera work at times and some good direction, highlighting the silences in a hypnotic way. Overall this is a pass.",3 "Many wasted, interesting ideas that could've made this the best show ever, yet it was all cliché and, apart from a few moments of shining. I loved alternate Star Lord (not his story, the character), and would've loved to see more of Gamora and Sakaarian Tony and I'm a huge Dr. Strange fan, so I loved everything he was involved in. Notwithstanding these, What If...? Was mediocre at best, but definitely not good. It wasn't horribly bad, but considering the characters and possibilities at Marvel's disposal, this show is nothing but a letdown. I watched it all, hoping for a concept that wasn't just intriguing, but well-executed as well. The Doctor Strange episode came close in my opinion, though it still wasn't great. The last two episodes were full of plotholes, and not in a fun way. Nevertheless, I would have been able to forgive the writers were I to be given a satisfactory ending. I wasn't, naturally. I wouldn't tell anyone explicitly not to watch it, but it would be heavily implied.",5 "Critic love Martin Scorsese, Hollywood, not so much. That has cause the former to over-compensate, as if they could shout an Oscar into being. Nice try. Scorsese clearly intended a loving and fond farewell to the great days of the Mafia, when organized crime at east had, within its own ghastly context, some class, some honor, some style. (Can you imagine the Mexican drug cartels inspiring anything like 'The Godfather'? Surely not.) The nostalgia-laden closing scenes make that clear (I half- expected 'Those Were the Days, My Friend' to be in the score at that point). But the result is 189 minutes of slow-moving, dreary brutality by a character who seems chosen to demonstrate the banality of it all. Then there's the documentary tone that creeps in via expository scenes, complete with captions, that explain long-forgotten mob episodes. (Keep in mind that a central conflict-between the mob and Teamsters Union boss Jimmy Hoffa-dates to the 1970s. That resonates with what percentage of today's audience-10, maybe? The mob vs. JFK goes back to the early 1960s. Hell, why not throw in Judge Crater? The Irishman himself is a dullard-boss points finger, Irishman pulls trigger: no thoughts or feelings intrude. His brutal beat-down of a storekeeper in the presence of his young daughter is an hommage to 'The Sopranos,' but extended as the source of her lifelong alienation, it's close to theft. The acting was fine, if overpraised, and I though Al Pacino s Hoffa misread his main line ""It's my union"" by stressing the noun instead of the possessive pronoun. In short, critical unanimity should always be suspected.",4 "THE CHANGE-UP, directed by David Dobkin, does something so few movies I've seen ever do. It actually gets worse each time I watch it. I guess that sounds harsh, but it's true. Each time I watch the movie, I have a harder time figuring out what I thought was so funny the first time. If I'd rated it after my first viewing, I guarantee it would've been higher. The movie is essentially an R-rated version of a movie we've seen a hundred times before: an identity swap. Jason Bateman is the straight man, a married lawyer with three kids who's on the verge of making partner at his firm. Ryan Reynolds is the slacker, a stoned out wannabe actor who makes a living with the occasional commercial or ""lorno"" (cable-level softcore porn). Each of them has something to envy in regards to the other man's life: Mitch (Reynolds) yearns for his friend's success, while Dave (Bateman) wants his friend's total freedom. One night, after having a few beers, the two wander across a statue in the park and stop for a quick leak. The two unanimously wish they had the other man's life and BAM, the next morning they've swapped bodies. You know how it goes from here: Mitch has to try and not mess up Dave's marriage and potential promotion, while Dave struggles with his desire to sleep around and whether or not it still constitutes as cheating on his wife if it's not his body. Minor laughs ensue. When the very first scene in the movie has a baby crapping in Jason Bateman's mouth, it pretty much sets the standard for the next two hours. The rest of the movie relies on toilet humor, nudity (which isn't always a bad thing, though the ladies here are all digitally-enhanced), and plot turns you can see coming a mile away. The problem with doing yet another rendition of the body-swapping story we've seen a hundred times before is that we've seen it a hundred times before. We know what's going to happen. Each of them will be thrown into drastically different situations than they're accustomed to, they'll struggle, and eventually they'll learn something important about their own lives. The end, roll credits. What matters in these sort of movies is the filler in between the predictable plot points, and the sad fact of the matter is there really isn't anything more here than shock value laughs. The lorno shoot, Mitch juggling the babies precariously in the kitchen in the midnight feeding scene, Leslie Mann's thai food surprise, etc. There aren't a whole lot of jokes, just a bunch of stuff that's shockingly amusing. Unfortunately, we become desensitized after a while and they become less and less amusing. Just because a movie is R-rated doesn't mean the humor needs to rely on fart jokes and the occasional nipple. I really wanted this movie to be funny. An R-rated spin on what's primarily been a PG-rated theme was a cool plan, and the cast assembled for the movie should've been just what it needed. Jason Bateman's always hilarious and Ryan Reynolds has the potential to be great in a movie (as long as it's a comedy and he's not wearing green CGI spandex). Leslie Mann is tried and true, and Olivia Wilde is gorgeous and I was curious to see how she'd do at comedy after enjoying her work on TV's ""House"" for so long. But in the end, none of it came together like it was supposed to. The movie ended up being a forgettable flop that will fall off of the cast's resumes soon enough, I'm sure. If you truly want to get the most of this movie, watch it only once. The less sober, the better. That ought to leave you with pleasant enough memories of the movie that a second viewing would probably only ruin. Its flaws start to come forward once the shock value has worn off. The middle section of the film is way too long and the two friends spend way too much time in each other's bodies. If the filmmakers had managed to cut the movie about a half hour shorter, streamlined the whole thing and jacked up the pace a little, it would've probably been a major improvement. Oh, and one final note, they really should've changed the title. I can't express how much I don't like the title of the film. It truly sounds like they'd run out of ideas for ""body-swap"" movie titles and cobbled this one together at the last minute.",7 "The art of the musical has evolved wonderfully--but you wouldn't know it by watching The Greatest Showman."" People don't just start singing mid-sentence! The director needed to check out Chicago and Moulin Rouge. There has to be a point to a song. And speaking of songs, this is the most abrasive collection of virtue-signaling, grating, talentless and eye-rolling noise you will ever find. These songs are laughably bad and tuneless and unmemorable. Leaving a musical, one should be humming the music. You can't, however, hum noise, which these songs are. The Marxist class warfare trope starts early when a boy Barnum gets slapped by, of course, the rich, evil white guy. And the social justice warrior nonsense persists throughout. The music is bad extraordinarily bad, but the dancing is even worse--not because it wasn't performed well--it was. It is bad because it is exhaustingly hyperkinetic and, worse, inappropriate for a movie set in an historical period. Hip hop is fine for a music video, but it's jarring here. On the plus side, both Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron cut fine manly figures as ringmasters, and much of the art direction and cinematography are excellent. Too bad they're wasted on a bunch of tripe.",3 "Maybe I'm getting old, but maybe this movie is just stupid. Most of the time various people just run around like headless chicken. Any B-movie from the 80s had a more solid plot than this waste of celluloid. The only difference is the production, but not even that is very impressive. I guess this is the way Hollywood movies are made these days, but I think when our kids see this in 20 years time they will think ""how could you watch this junk willingly?"" I could forgive over the top acting, I could forgive over the top everything else, but I can't forgive that they forgot to conceive a plot for this. It's one of those movies that you struggle to remember whether you've seen it or you've just seen the trailer and someone warned you not to waste time with it. Well, I've seen it and I warn you not to waste time with it.",3 Great concept but the excessive unnecessary profanity is distracting at times. What would the world do if some superheroes actually lacked character?,5 "I liked this. I enjoyed the acting and characters. I wasn't sure about casting Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Benny, but he eventually grew on me. I couldn't really give it a higher rating because it was just too predictable. It's nice to see chess get more mainstream recognition.",7 "Two big names in this 2 plus hour marathon of awfulness. Wouldn't even have worked in a linear plot either, but the back and forth 5 years was needless and irritating. Laughable attempts at suspense insult the viewer. Weak dialogue. Nothing going for this except some very lovely shots of the river. Sandra & John should be ashamed of themselves for lending their names and wasting their talents on this poorly written and ineptly directed farce.",3 "One of the worst movies I've ever seen. I gave a 2 and not a 1 because the first 10 minutes the movie got my attention. It could have been a good movie but I think the director had no idea what to do and the scenario was absent. We watched the movie 4 friends together, each one with different tastes on movies. None of us liked it!",2 "Almost a solid casting. Bella Ramsey is just unlikeable. I played all the versions of the game and think this show is good. It's just Bellas portrayal of Ellie is obnoxious. Aside from my own option of her, the fact that her acting (their) acting is pretty awful. I am writing this as of episode 7. And without spoilers. Bella gets a lot more screen time, and she/they/it doesn't shine without Pedro Pascal to bounce off of. Honestly turned the show off. And I'm just gonna wait till Episode 8 is out. Bella's portrayal of a beloved character makes me wish Bella gets snuff out by an infected. Jeez someone get this girl an decent acting coach.",8 "Once Netflix took over it went downhill. While season 4 wasn't awful, season five was a bit of a challenge to get through. As is par for the course with Netflix, there was too much focus spent on the gay theme, which made Job's and Tobias' characters go from quirky to annoying. In fact, all the characters except for perhaps Michael (Bateman) and his son George-Michale (Cera) started to drive me nuts.",7 "With a cast like this, you'd expect great things for a film billed as a great murder mystery. The entire plot is revealed in the first 5 minutes, and the end ""twist"" was hardly a twist. You could see it coming a mile away. Save your time and watch a real murder mystery from classic authors.",3 If your looking to relive the animated version then just watch the animated version.,3 This is the slowest moving movie ever. The de-aging / aging of the characters looks so fake. Pesci's performance carries the movie but Deniro ruins it.,5 "TV rarely shows the truth about anything.

Pfff. I am a big fan of the previous film. This one is a generous 5/10. Robert D. Jr. is great. And...maybe Thor.The end.",3 "The plot is scattered. The characters are generic and cheesy. It's one of those films where you're constantly waiting for it to get good, and then the credits roll. Sitting through this made me realize how lucky I am to have a normal job. It must be hard for people who live off of giving movie reviews if they have to encounter a movie like this on a regular basis.",2 "I could write a very extensive comment, but no need to because I see that the others have already said it all. So, in short. Someone forgot to animate emotions in the faces of animals? Someone forgot to do good tone processing? Especially in music, really bad tone production. What about animal speech? Was it so difficult to figure out how it was done in the original? Onomatopoeia! In the original Lion King, the speech of monkeys, lions, pigs, hyenas, etc. sounds just like these animals sound in reality. In this version, everything is flat. ""Interesting"" ejecting the portrayal of ""god"" in the movie. Eg. in a scene where Simbas hair a ""strange wind"" bring to monkey, it is now shown that nature alone does this miracle. I wouldn't say this is a good movie, just a bad copy of a great movie. Sory, Disney, you dissapointed me. Please leave the old classics, alone.",2 Just like a video game and what a great actor to do it can't wait for season 2 I just got to get started and finished season 1 don't pay attention and if you're a person that watches this and if you don't like it then don't watch it you must not be a dedicated fan to the video games so and I'm tired of people putting reviews on this website if you don't like it then don't even put a review then cuz I think it's a great show it kind of buys me of Lord of the Rings !!!!,8 "I have loved The Tick since the 90's cartoon series on Fox. It's a show (and concept) that stands to this day: still quotable, still original, still funny, funny, truly funny. Remember the Breadmaster and his henchman, Buttery Pat? Remember Dinosaur Pete? Chairface? That Punisher parody who'd unload all of his ammunition and then break down into tears? God, that was a funny show. Let's all smile in gratitude for the 90's version of The Tick. OK. Moment over. So they've made another live-action version of The Tick even after the Patrick Warburton version (which wasn't that great, despite the effort of the players.) How does it stand? Not bad at all. There are some slow parts, mind you. Arthur learning how the suit works with the repeated ""access denied"" line went on for too long and the CGI (the Tick jumping, Arthur flying) can be clunky. Plus, Arthur is annoyingly drab. There's nothing to his character but his ""issues,"" but to quote Herman Melville, ""Who ain't a slave?"" Honestly, in life you can have either excuses or results, not both. Arthur does eventually come around and become more of a person, but not towards the end. Where this series is weak is that there's way too much of Arthur and not enough of The Tick. The Tick himself, meanwhile, is stellar. He's as affable and unflappable as ever and it's nice to see him back. I was disappointed when The Tick said the word ""awesome"" (a word that's been used so much it's lost all meaning, like ""epic"") but that's my only gripe. Peter Serafinowicz is truly great in the role, with a beautiful voice and ""nigh-invulnerable"" delivery. I have respect for Warburton but I can't imagine anyone, with the exception of Townsend Coleman, doing a better job of The Tick than Serafinowicz. The Terror, played by Jackie Earle Haley, is hilarious as well. He was brilliant in the original cartoon (I'd list some of his comedically evil endeavours but those might be spoilers) but we see little of him here. I hope they continue to do justice to him. (Love the old man voice, though.) I wish there were a few more fights to this series and less of Arthur looking uncomfortable around others. The Tick is basically a really good-natured version of the Hulk: he can knock people out by just backhanding them and villains who fire on him usually wind up hurting themselves via ricochet. But the fights we do have are funny without being slapstick-y. Plus, the Knightrider parody is pretty clever. Anyway. More Tick, please.",7 "The cast is what really made this show, now I see folk going mad at the story etc but I think it was just well done the actors were well worth watching. The scenery and make up are well done and well though out I haven't watched the original so cannot comment in it. I enjoyed the story and hope for more",7 "Started off on fairly interestingly, then devolved into a completely generic rom-com. The idea that true (or passing) love cures mental illness was a joke. (The premise worked better in the far superior A Beautiful Mind, where the main character at least reasoned his way to a more believable kind of sanity and stability, even if that's not really what happened to the real person.) I do not get all the fuss over this movie. Jennifer Lawrence was good but I was disappointed it had such a pat, Hollywood ending that wrapped up these troubled characters with a big red bow. Don't believe the hype: This is just standard Hollywood fluff.",5 "The show has a fantastic plot, animation and even acting. But, the show itself goes at a very uneven pace which often doesn't transition well to fit the rest of the story. Also, the show takes on a more soap-opera-like tone when it has the potential to be so much better. I hope they change the director.",10 "I don't like the attitude of trying to make an entertainment movie with such material. Once upon a time, there was a movie called Killing Field. The protagonist, a journalist, felt remorse for becoming famous after get fame with the report of the civil war. But what is this movie? They are trying to make entertainment by taking the misfortune of another country for making money. It was indeed Platone also an entertainment movie. But ... but ... I don't know why Platone is good and this Blood Diamond is not good. Perhaps it is a matter of the level as a work. I didn't feel this was a high-level movie. And I didn't want to watch this movie to the end. Such material should be addressed in a documentary.",2 "We can pretend that the painting with a single line on a white canvas means something, and the painter has a meaning to it, but the fact is its just a line on a white background. Its good for mnoney loundering and thats it. Yje snobs will try to tell you that youre not smart enough to understand. This movie managed to make the snobs think they get it, and it suceeds in its satire i guess. But the fact remains that this had potential, but the writers just did not deliver. Its just a black marker line my kid made on the wall. Lets stop pretending. Sdhsakjhfkajshfjklashfljashflashflahslfkhaslfkhjk.",3 "Skip it, I don't know where it got all of these good reviews but it's crap. Watched it on the airplane with no other options. If you have a choice see something else. Never EVER pay for this garbage.",4 "This show is absolutely phenomenal in the way that it tells a story. It feels like an extreme amount of creative effort & care has gone into the making of this show. It has an extremely interesting premise which it explores thoroughly with care, every scene feels like it's contributing to something important, no moments feel wasted. Each character has such a beautiful personal story going on within the fictional world & all of these little isolated story arcs are eventually tying back into help smoothly further the main storyline which always ends up going somewhere extremely interesting. I think the entire film industry should be taking notes from the people who are making this show happen & I think this show deserves to be winning some god damn awards!",9 "Are they going to give Oscars to the subject (abolishment of slavery) or to the film itself for it's own merits? 'Based on a true story' and about black slaves - BAM! Oscar guaranteed. The same used to be the case when you made a film about mentally retarded people even when the film itself was also retarded. Those guilt ridden white suits dare NOT give it an Oscar right? Or maybe it's a trade-off: they get to use the word 'nigger' (otherwise known as the n-word) as much as they want in a movie and in return black people get an Oscar or two. 'The Help' which was nothing more than a polite regurgitation of an old sore and was hardly worth an Oscar so I wasn't expecting much from this one. Fortunately it's actually a good film with an A-list cast. But as movies are heightened reality we do get an overly racist and sadistic plantation owner (great performance by Michael Fassbender) just as every German in a WWII film is a jew-hating killing machine who deserves to die in the most horrible way. Hollywood just likes good and evil to be nicely separated. They gave an Oscar to Ralph Fiennes as a sadistic camp leader in Schindlers List, so I expect the same for Fassbender here folks. With all this being said, despite it's 134 min runtine, it will pass in no time as it is just incredibly well made and is worth your time. And it does give you a good idea what the worst case scenario could have been for a black slave in the 19th century.",7 "Yes, it has an awesome photography. Yes, it is plenty of awesome actors. And yes, it has a pleasant way of using multidimensional physics. But, for Christ's sake, did they actually needed a 169 minutes long space movie for stating that ""Love is a very powerful force!""? With all the hype and the claims of profoundness I've expected something that actually bore a thousand questions to my mind, kept me mentally awake for days, not a movie in which the most difficult concept to understand is 4-dimensional physics. Sadly this wasn't the case.",6 What a brilliant movie Go and watch it . It is available on YouTube in hindi Amazed to see the level of South indian cinema.. Appreciated 🙏🙏👌👌,10 "This format has been done to death and there is nothing new or original in this one, they took none of the opportunities that were available to explore the concept further. Most recently, John Krasinski's - A quiet Place explored the story arc of ""you have to be silent or the monster will get you"" and now here we have ""you have to be blindfolded or the monster will get you"". The character development is awful, they had John ""Malcatraz"" Malkovich in a leading role and utterly failed to use him for anything meaningful. The other characters came and went, none of them standing out in anyway. Even the ending is a straight up clone of Day of the Triffids. The huge number of stolen and unoriginal plots devices would have been cool if they were paying homage and putting in references for fun but they were not, this is just lazy, B grade film making done to generate a bit of money, nothing more. It's a watch once and delete movie. This one will not be remembered and the fact that it has been nominated for awards genuinely just confirms that the current day awards programmes are corrupt and worthless to the end viewer. There are dozens of other horror / sci fi movies with the same plot and most fo them are better than this. Watch one of them instead and dont waste an evening on this.",4 "I will probably complete watching all the episodes sometime, as i do love this type of shows, but i have to admit, that i started browsing youtube for cat videos 5 minutes into the first episodes...",4 "Well I first watched it about 13y ago. Still love this show. Rewatched it a couple of times. It's still the best animated series I have ever seen. Some episodes are lacking behind especially in the 2nd season, but overall this series is perfect. My favourite character is toff Bayfong. (I don't know how to spell her name correctly), but she is really cute still toughest of them all. The sequel the legend of Korra is far less in quality. If you haven't seen this show up till now then you are missing something special. It has something for almost every age group. So watch it with your kids and family. You won't regret it.",10 "It is a very entertaining series. I saw all the episodes on the weekend and enjoyed it a lot. You are not dealing with a simple series copied from the twisted metal game, you are dealing with a very perfect adaptation that will delight you with the nostalgia of the previous games as well as with its new ideas. The characters are completely believable and lovable. Everyone in their place helps the process of the series and the progress of the story. The rhythm of the series is very fast and will accompany you from the first episode to the end. There are many surprises in the story and it makes the story more interesting. The various locations of the series keep you alive and you are constantly entertained by various events and different people. Just watch the first episode to immediately see yourself in the apocalyptic world of twisted metal.",8 "Let me tell you something: it's been a long time since a series or a movie got me so hooked! Everything seems so done before and so unmemorable the past years. OMITB is so refreshing! Interesting plot, humour, good pace, good acting and chemistry. Is everything perfect? Of course not. Does it matter? Hell no! Everything works so well together, that you get swooped in without realizing. Even Selena Gomez is better than I was expecting. You would think that it would be an issue for her to actually connect with Steve Martin and Martin Short, but they actually click! The bottom line is that this is an upbeat, spunky murder mystery that doesn't weigh you down and keeps you wanting more.",9 "Pretty much pointless. There are no likeable characters. The supes aren't just normal people with flaws, they're horrible. Except for Starlight, who seems to have some convictions and is supposed to come across as genuine, but does somehow manage to come off more as the self-centered prima donna she's accused of being by one of the corporate honchos. The foils are, I guess, supposed to be the ones we care about, but there's very little there personality-wise. Hughie is dragged along by the current like a leaf on a stream. After the first episode or three, you get it perfectly well. The super heroes aren't so super. That single idea isn't enough to carry a whole series. And that is pretty much all there is.",3 "Good family movie. In the climax, Insia should be awarded the best female singer in stage by Shaan instead of announcing Monali Thakur. Ok to watch 👍👍",8 "Very interesting show ruined with season three. Ani was a poor introduction. So disappointing to see the show tank, season one was so interesting and pushed boundaries. Season three is just trying to be stupid edgy with controversy.",1 "I really wanted to like this show. I heard such good things about it I was actually really excited to watch it. However, I left the show feeling like it was lacking in many ways. Many of the plot points felt very unresolved in the finale of the show and the whole middle of it just feels like one long game of chess. The first episode was the best. From that point on it gets more boring until you just decide you might as well finish it anyway because it's only a few episodes longer. The actors and actresses do a wonderful job which is what I felt saved this show for me. It's a good enough show to pass some time. But, in my opinion, it was very overhyped.",5 "Extraction is not a waste of time. The movie makes us engaged with its spectacular stunts and a very good titular performance by Chris Hemsworth. However, the plot is not good enough with respect to the production. A sequel is official and I think this might be Chris Hemsworth's Mission Impossible. That is if Tyler Rake is still alive.",6 "I'm very difficult when it comes to comedies and this had me smiling, sometimes laughing, throughout. It's raunchy, immature, irreverent, gross but also funny and weirdly sincere and heartwarming. I think what helps a lot here is that the teenagers really look (and act?) like teenagers and not like twenty-somethings. I do think the teens (well mostly Seth) put way too much emphasis on sex but for him I think it was mostly a front as the teens do have some depth and ethics. The two cops are hilarious as some of the worst (or coolest?) cops in movie history. I also thought the guy in glasses playing McLovin was very good and believable. It's a movie I would certainly not mind seeing again with friends. I think it would be even better that way. Rating: 8 out of 10",8 "Once again proved dogs are best friends for humans. After so many watched a good film and cried😭 Miss you charlie. By the way I want meet you in real life.",10 "The story of Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg and Cirlla of Cintra, starts off slow and in three different timelines. Although he excels in the fight sequences, Henry Cavill offers nothing new, essaying the same troubled and brooding performance as Geralt that we saw in Justice League and his Superman movies. However, it is Anya Chalotra as the bullied, abused, betrayed and ultimately heartbroken Yennefer that steals the show with a breathtaking performance. From Episode 4 onwards, the Witcher gathers breakneck pace but I was disappointed they didnt further stress on Yennefer's growth from a novice mage (witch) to an experienced one and rather breezed through many of her formative years. The intricacies of the Witcher universe never rise to the levels of Game of Thrones or The Mandalorian, but the final convergence of the three timelines and the three main characters was a treat to watch. The showrunners ended Season 1 on a knife edge, which is sure to see viewers return en masse for Season 2! A watchable series that is slow at first, but is sure to keep you hooked and intrigued for Season 2 by the end!",8 "Overall good, actually pretty good but it seems the copy of ""Zero Dark Thirty """,4 "The soundtrack is infernal, boring to hell. Maybe there was too much hype around this movie so it sucked even more.",5 Saw few minutes and gave up in disgust.

It gets deeper at times, but the best part of it is that it isn't trying to be heavy and ""meaningful"" the whole way through. It has a good balance of the more emotional moments with lighthearted humor. Synopsis: Based on the Barbie fashion dolls by Mattel, it is the first live-action Barbie film after numerous computer-animated direct-to-video and streaming television films. Barbie suffers a crisis that leads her to question her world and her existence. Leaping out of her pink plastic wonderland onto the big screen, the most famous doll in the world is ready to break free in Greta Gerwig's epic live-action adventure, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. It's time to put on your perfect summer outfit and channel your inner Barbie and Kenergy!",8 "3 hour movie. 2 hours and 45 minutes exploring Quentin Tarantino's various fetishes and 15 minutes of good action. This movie earned it's second star with the lead actors being good at their craft; and yes, the wardrobe and set were immersive, but the constant Easter egg hunt was nauseating. It was non-stop ""nod to this"" and ""ode to that"" with everything from Shaw Films music playing in the background to name dropping insider vintage Hollywood gossip. The twist wasn't great. The whole movie plot could have easily been summed up in a half of an hour and kept all the good scenes. Don't waste your money. See it on Netflix for free in like six months. You'll probably fall asleep and miss nothing.",2 Really! Didn't expect this to be this good! But LOKI series just amazing! I love the story and how we see loki in different perspectives! How everything is twisted and see the gods of mischief got himself (and another multiple universes loki) in between the most mischief twisted scenarios himself.,8 "It's hard to watch a film on real history when that history is skewed. Therefore, since this movie refuses to acknowledge important facts, it falls way short of anything worthwhile. Granted, a book is a book, a screenplay is a screenplay and a movie is a movie, and in the face of fiction, liberties may be taken, but when they altered in light of fact, then the whole work is subsequently meaningless. By no means should this film earn any praises come Oscar night - especially for Best Screenplay when it's far from it.",3 this movie is a women centered film and therefore will not appeal much to the male folks.the best thing about the movie is the girl's search for her identity and her fear to let go of a painful relationship while enjoying her life.her dilemma is beautifully depicted in this movie.but sadly thats the only thing i liked because rest is just packaging without substance and the characters borrowed from earlier movie they are in fact extensions of the former characters the french guy becomes a cook and rest of the world become the room mates here.i liked this movie but its not a 9 movie its hyped just like lunch box a 7.7 movie on a scale of 10.i did expect some dancing and comic scenes she didn't disappoint me it would have been lovely if the movie ended 5 minutes earlier but she had to return the precious ring she preserved back home.,8 "This is a must watch anime for anime fans,its animation can be a bit unothodox for the newer fans but with time you will realize the animations fluidity and the amazing visuals that its able to create.",9 "Super war movie I ever seen, no words to Express, extremely well done",10 Seemed like wannabe american gods or something but it was super super boring,1 "Short summation: The first season is the best, the second is slightly less so, but the third is a scatter shot mess! Do you remember when they used to be able to simulate night scenes in movies, yet you could still see everything that was going on...not so here. If you are among the legion of fans that hated the Game of Thrones episode ""The Long Night"", you'll hate the third season for the same reason...everything is too dark to see. Fight scenes become nothing more than glints of light and sound effects. After awhile, it just gets tiresome. Add to that a number of flashbacks that eat up time, yet can be covered in a few lines of dialogue, and you have a frustrating experience.",4 Go cut the lights off and watch house of the devil. Theres nothing here you literally havent seen before. A bunch of girls scream in a house because they see a shadow. Climax is a demon votlmits blood. Yep. Even scooby doo is more effective. One decent scare in the entire film. One.,3 "I never got the hype about GoT because it wasn't a superseries for me either. These 6 episodes are basically just what you already know. Only with new story and new characters. If you look at it neutrally, it's a good fantasy series that has its hype thanks to GoT.",6 "Not sure why there are such good reviews here. Some of them genuinely seem fake. This show was really poor me and my partner like Tim Burton and the Addams family so expected something good here. Its neither got Tim burton's gothic style or any remote feeling of the Addams family. Wednesday is just mean with no fun qualities, Pugsley is a wimp, and Gomez and Mortisha keep mumbling their lines so god knows what their characters are like. Then they got rid of the family and put Wednesday in Hogwarts with even worse characters with even worse CGI. Jeez, we really wanted to enjoy this but quickly saw it was just a big cash grab by Netflix trying to create a new Harry Potter franchise. Don't waste your time.",1 "I have enjoyed some of the Marvel movies, but this one was absolute balderdash. Utter drivel, not even a coherent narrative. Pointless. I lost interest almost from the beginning, but sat through it. Incredibly bad. If you have the chance to see it, really, don't bother.",3 "The description made me expect something completely different. Without spoilers episode 5 is the pivotal moment in this miniseries, completely changes the course of the story, which I liked, interesting take on superhero story. But there are two massive problems: 1) it takes 4 episodes to even get there and the plot is incredibly confusing. That's nearly 3 hours wasted for something that doesn't even matter in the end 2) final episode did absolutely nothing, resolved nothing and still left gaping holes behind All in all I sat through these 6 episodes waiting for some kind of conclusion and none came. Besides pigeon God, Oscar Isaac and nice imagery there is nothing worthy of attention. Especially skip if you're expecting a superhero story for it is not.",4 "This does has many twists which don't occur until you get through the first few episodes, which better helps to create & solidify the characters. Once you're hooked, watch out. I'm just disappointed that I've finished season one though so greatly look forward to next season's surprises & plot storylines",8 "First two seasons were excellent, 9/10 for acting, script, graphics, everything, just not a 10/10 because of the low-complexity family-friendly ""inspirational"" drama and the extremely annoying non-robot villain. Then for season 3 they mostly ran out of interesting space-travel and tech problems to solve, and also ran out of family-friendly cliches to throw at us, so it felt like a big quality drop from the first two, especially the second half of the season. But overall I'll still put it at an 8/10, still a lot to be enjoyed here and worth getting into for those who haven't started watching it at all.",8 The show isn't bad. The problem is that the lead actress looks like a 40 year old. It's not at all believable that she could be a 20 year old. The actor that plays Sunny also looks like he is 55 rather than 40.,6 "See: Inglourious Basterds. Hype and social media seem to be driving the high ratings of this somewhat mediocre film. If you are not a Tarantino fan, catch this film on Netflix in about six months time.",5 Lord cap is dead now both his sidekicks r crying that's it.,5 Brilliant movie. Amitabh Bachchan at his very best. All actors are mind blowing. Script is well written. Screenplay and direction are top notch. A must watch.,10 "Above average film whereby I enjoyed the fact that a film like this gets released in the first place. So your settling down in trepidation of what's to come and to work out all the computations of whodunnit, but unfortunately I was so disappointed as it could have been so much better. Sorry Daniel Craig fans but that accent was terrible. If that accent was so important to the character then I'm sure there are loads of actors out there that could have done a better job than Craig. The rest of cast were OK but nothing special. I've seen better whodunnits with just as good but less known actors with better plots on TV. It wasn't a waste of money that some reviews suggest. Was the plot obvious? well it wasn't to me but the so called ""twist"" wasn't anything special or a ""took my breath away in amazement moment "" I'm still glad I went to see it as it was entertaining for me and I go to the movies to be entertained.",6 "I don't understand how people can recommend this movie. It's pathetic. Full of plotholes, no logic and no boring. It's a movie for children and no suspense at all. You know everytime what's going to happen. Don't waste 2h of your life! Go do something better!",1 "The main thing I have to say is Aidan Gallagher is absolutely superb in this, incredibly convincing as an old man trapped in a boys body.",8 "Loved the acting, especially DiCaprio when he's yelling at himself in the mirror or Pitt when he's confronting people high on acid. After that this is a potpourri of things happening with little or no purpose. These were too good of characters to go nowhere. I get people want to love Tarantino because I want to love Tarantino. Just way to much missed opportunity for an almost three hour movie to leave on the table.",2 ">> a donkey could smear better art with its tail This movie-shaped object is like an ogre - it has layers. And as it's not a movie i can't describe it as one. But i can write about the layers. So, first of all this (jokery) is baked into a container with a theatrical aspect ratio. Which is important this time, because the outermost envelope asks you to ""set your monitor into 16//9"". Imagine being someone who works in video production and then agrees to publicly put their name to a project with such (stupid) tech-illiterate statement. This (thing) was shown in cinemas. Did the technicians have to adjust the projectors? Because you, (truly), cannot set your monitor to anything without stretching the image. And you (truly) cannot do anything after these (film-makers) baked the company intros and that message into a container with theatrical aspect ratio. But this is just the beginning yet. The next envelope is pillar-boxed. You can zoom in in most open-source video players, to get rid of artificial pillarboxing in this letterboxed video. It shows only several seconds of meaningless garbage. It should be outright cut from this merde d'Artiste. The next envelope with an old dude is barely present too. It should be outright cut from this merde d'Artiste. The next envelope is a little bit more involved, with the young version of the dude. But being barely present it serves no (truly) point. It should be outright cut from this merde d'Artiste. Then we have the solid core of this liquid night soil drifting in weightlessness through black void of pillarboxes and letterboxes. People paid for cinema tickets to see a tiny nearly 4//3 movie floating in the middle of the screen. The centre of this shrek, the thing that you are actually watching, is an unquirky and unquaint rip-off of Zohan. You are watching a film that thinks bonking grannies is comedy. And it's unpleasant to look at. It's all extremely unnatural and flat. Absolutely all shots but one are parallel to the background. If there is a non-abrupt transition it happens in 90 degree increments. The unstory of this adventure is not as gag-inducing terrible as in Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and The Darjeeling Limited. I suppose it's superior to that of Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs. But you see, this was supposed to be a movie. That people see with their eyes. And instead this is unphotographs of unpeople untalking. This is anticinema. This is a snowballing spit directly into the eyes of everyone who watches kino, cinema, motion pictures, photoplays, double feature picture shows, films, movies, talkies, silents, flicks, tapes, disks, even. Formalist manure.",3 Is so clear that this part of movie have produced well like past parts it is obvious that tom cruze pay all money alone,6 "You should totally checkout this awesome web series by TVF. While bollywood is busy doing same old sh*t, TVF has given us something precious.. a show with an entertaining story. Based upon the life of Indian professionals who are fed up of their corporate life and looking for a desperate change through start up, it rang a bell in everyone's life who are looking for change. Four characters coming along, and every one is unique and best in their own way. Madal did an exceptional job there. Jeetu rocked the hostel scene in last episode. Storyline is simply amazing. Kudos to the team of The Viral Fever.",10 "A Discovery of Witches is definitely not to everyone's taste, but it's gentle supernatural escapism. It's like a more adult version of Twilight, if you're not into that, then it won't be for you. The series has a beautiful colour aesthetic, slightly sepia with some things bolder, giving everything an otherworldly edge. The bad guys Peter Knox (Owen Teale) and Gerbert D'Aurillac (Trevor Eve) are very serious and eat up the roles they play. They're a little bit over the top but it works in this delightful piece of supernatural drama.",8 "Though there is some loop hole,the film does not gave any time to notice it as it was perfectly executed.a complete thriller.😍",10 "As i was saying that this movie is going to hurt a lot of people 1. Those people who make films like zero, Thugs of Hindustan, and 2. I dont have to say you you guys know that verry well. But for us the normal people who loves their country and want to watch some quality movie please do watch this one.",10 "Spielberg has been a favorite director since I was a kid, but I still envy my parents who got to see his debut hits in theaters back in the 70s. Prior to this hit, the only movie of his I saw on release was Ready Player One (which I loved) but it didn't compete with his classics like ET or Jaws. This movie was different. Not only was it his best film in decades but it came from a different part of Spielberg we haven't seen before, being way more personal than his earlier films. Whether you like film or not, this movie is a must see. It is about passion, family, grief, and coming of age. It hits all of its marks with flying colors.",10 Now I'm starting to like it! Episode 8 finally rounds up all the randomness that the series had until now.,8 "I'll be honest, if it was anything other than Marvel, Disney, Amazon, or Netflix, it would be decent. But a company with the funds for and access to the best of the best people to hire, this show was surprisingly poorly written. Dialogue was disjointed and and clunky, and didn't flow well. Characters had confusing motivations and half the time I found myself just saying ""what? Why?"" Great concept, poorly executed. And a lot of the actors were less than average. Against Tom Hiddleston, especially. I expect more from Marvel at this point.",2 "Most of the Marvel Studios shows are either good or ok, even if they are good there is usually some issues with it that could have made the show better; Loki is a likable character, and I was interested in how there could be a show with him as the main character, especially because of what happened to him in Avengers: Infinity War (2018). The show Loki (2021-2023) is one the best Marvel shows that Marvel Studios has released, not saying their other shows are bad, but this show is better put together and the writing is interesting; the best parts of the show are Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson as the main leads and them working very well together making the show worth watching. Tom Hiddleston once again being Loki was phenomenal to watch throughout both seasons of the show being funny, entertaining, interesting, and serious once certain events happen; once season one starts, it follows directly after the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019) and shows how Loki finds the TVA, how he learns about the sacred timeline, and how he meets Mobius until he works with him to find a variant from a timeline. From season one to season two Loki becomes more of a likable and interesting character as he makes friends with Mobius and more people working at the TVA, and finds out what his glorious purpose is, along with him remembering what has happened to him in the past Marvel movies and how he goes from a villain to a likable protagonist. TVA agent Mobius played by Owen Wilson was also fantastic being a likable and funny character that takes his job seriously but also has fun with it, along with both him and Loki working fantastic together; in season one he finds Loki knowing all about him from the many timelines and uses him to find a variant that has been messing around with timelines. The way the TVA works is interesting on how they find variants, get rid of evidence from separate timelines, and deal with time problems, but eventually you find out what/who made the TVA and why they made it; learning about the sacred timeline and how it works and connects to the entire MCU was visually interesting. The rest of the TVA involves the character Ravonna Renslayer who has something to do with what the TVA is and who runs the TVA and needed to be used more in both seasons, along with a digital holographic talking clock voiced by Tara Strong named Miss Minutes who can access everything in the TVA who has a lot more to do in season 2. Halfway through season one and the entire season of season 2 we find out who the variant is played by Sophia Di Martino who does an excellent job, she has an interesting past regarding the TVA and in season one she wants to take down the TVA because of it; in season two she and Loki work well together and she is trying to live a life on the timeline until she dragged back to help fix a major problem with the sacred timeline. Another character I liked was OB played by Ke Huy Quan, who was introduced in season two, has invented a lot of technology in the TVA and he helps Loki with the big problem with the sacred timeline, along with him being a likable, funny, and interesting character. Also, there is an appearance from a certain actor playing a certain character that I will not spoil, but he is in both season one and season two making a huge contribution to the plot. The show Loki (2021-2023) was one of the best Marvel shows Marvel Studios have released, with Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson being fantastic as the main characters; I liked both seasons, but I liked season two more because of how intense and interesting it is, even though season one was a cool start to the show. The ending of the show was great with the Loki character having a nice ending and solving the major time problem in a way with each character having a nice ending; the show was fun, entertaining, funny, intriguing, and it was well put together with a great script and nice-looking CGI, practical effects, and sets. There are some minor issues, but I would highly recommend watching this Marvel show if you like the character and have been following the Marvel Universe until now; if we can get more Marvel shows and movies like this, then I think Marvel Studios will get their fans back, and they will be successful again like when they started the universe.",8 "Watched the first episode because of the high ratings and honestly, I have no idea what is going on. This episode had some cool fight scenes and seemed interesting here and there but I lost interest during most of the dialog scenes. Maybe having a background in the story would help?

I just hate her and how she whines with everything she says. So this movie is horrible because we have to watch her so much. That and it's just not very good in general.",4 "This show, assuming the setup is true, can only ever be a 1-season show; as no-one would ever fall for a future season setup. With that, it is ""make you gasp"" funny at spots while wanting to hide-your-face at others. (very Office-estque) James Marsden plays his role very well and serves as the anchor-to-reality that, I think, allows Ronald to believe what is going on is real. In fact each 'character' represents a 'stereotype' that feeds into the awkwardness of the 'innocent juror'. So far, the most gasp-inspiring is the Defense Attorney, hopefully they don't over use him. Having watched all available episodes, and knowing there are only 8 total, it should be easy for you to commit the 4-hrs needed, after you watch the first, and the previews of what's to come.",8 "I would have been mad if I saw this in theatres. The entire movie takes place from the point of view of someone's computer screen. Lame story line and a lot of things didn't make sense, they only happen just so the entire movie doesn't leave the computer screen. The entire movie felt like and episode from a TV show.",3 Animations met good expectations it looks like new one.,9 "The original movie wasn't very original , but it was entertaining and a decent enough film . Not great by any standard, it didn't age well either, but pretty good for the time . This movie is not only not original, it is stereotypical to a degree usually reserved for Christmas specials . Every scene filmed and edited, every line uttered, every sentiment expressed feels like canned laughter . While the first movie was at least good fun back then, this one isn't even trying ; it seems like the makers just randomly cobbled together the most commonly used themes of straight-to-stream action flicks of the past decade or so, and put a big shiny TOP GUN label on it . Have your fast forward button ready when watching this, you will need it .",2 "I have been interested in this film since the moment I heard about it. As a kid whose first memorable movie theater experience was E. T., no filmmaker has more influenced the way I experience movies than Spielberg...and nothing influenced those movies more than his parents' divorce. So I was 100% ready for a personal tale, an origin story without capes or superpowers. No CGI. No motion capture. Just a movie about the power of families and stories through the eyes of a kid. It is just that... But it is more too. There's a generosity in the way that Spielberg makes sense of his own story after the fact. Nobody is a villain or hero. They are just people choosing between happiness and responsibility while realizing slowly and painfully that it may not have to be either/or. There were scenes that worked better than others (and I am still sorting through the third act), but it was fun to see him tell a story like this, whether it was his own or not.",8 "A bombarding kinda plot with screenplay-like gameplay makes us engaged to some extent. The emotional side of the protagonist does play a role in the navigation of the film but doesn't connect so well with us, the audience. The plot, geography & action sequences were very well placed with the right mix of twists & turns thus keeping us hooked till the end but I feel that it could've been even better with somewhat racy sequences which felt like missing. The end with an extension was like all other usual Western films, nothing special about it. Overall, it's a one-time watchable film for action film lovers.",7 "These guys normally choose excellent subjects upon education system of India.

Just over two hours of bad acting and explosions. Don't waste your time watching this.,1 "Food and horror is a pretty cool angle, it reminded me of The Platform which is a far better movie than this but scores worse. I think a lot of people just vote movies down if they don't have their favourite actors in them regardless of everything else. To me a good horror at least has you wondering if it might have a bad ending at around the point where you are meant to start caring for the protagonist. I never got that feeling from this movie unfortunately which shows that this movie is really meant for the sensitive viewer and not your regular horror movie buff. This eliminates the thrill completely which is really needed for a movie like this. Zero sense of danger, everything was under control. The characters were very two dimensional never showing any sign of life outside of their prescribed cartoon like fixations. Lacking in violence for the most part I found myself looking at the clock by the 30 minute mark which is never a good sign. I can understand why many found it underwhelming, unsatisfying or bland. Because it was. It's just another overrated horror because it has actor x or y in it.",4 "Terribly confusing movie and Terrible Hollywood movie, i have wasted my time and Money .",1 "What if we could simply erase the ones, we love the most from our memory? The idea is frightening, but it can be tempting in moments of greater suffering or longing. This is the premise of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, one of the most acclaimed love films of the 2000s. Mixing new technologies with a very old theme, the famous ""heartbreak"", the plot explores the past and the How we look at our memories. In his new feature film, Charlie Kaufman reprises the duo with director Michel Gondry, with whom he worked on The almost human nature. The French filmmaker, known for the music videos he made with singer Björk, manages to use his colleague's script very well, and in the denser parts of the film, he makes great use of the fusions of scenery, like George Clooney in Confessions. Here, however, they have a meaning beyond mere aesthetics, as we are inside the protagonist's head. Insecure and needy, Joel Barish (Carrey) is your typical Kaufmanian hero: as he makes eye contact with the beautiful Clementine Kruczynski (Winslet) on a beach, he thinks, ""Why do I fall in love with every woman who gives me any attention? "". However, right after we witness the friendly meeting of the two characters, the narrative jumps in time to show us that the stark differences between Joel and Clementine's personalities doomed the relationship - and, to get rid of the painful memories, the girl submits to a 'surgery', newly developed by a certain dr. Howard Mierzwiak (Wilkinson), able to selectively erase memories of his ill-fated marriage to Joel. Upon discovering what his ex-wife did, the subject decides to follow the same procedure, but, during the surgery, he realizes that he wants to keep the memories and does everything to prevent them from being removed from his brain. Surpassing, in inventiveness and intelligence, the sequence in Being John Malkovich in which a chase takes place in the subconscious of the title character, Joel's efforts to keep Clementine's memory alive is the great attraction of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: firstly, such memories are ""erased"" in reverse chronological order, and thus we see the last moments of the couple's relationship first - and, as the film progresses, we go back in time and discover the charm that initially existed in that marriage. Furthermore, by reliving the most remarkable moments of his life with Clementine, Joel concludes the obvious: we can only evolve thanks to our experiences (good or bad), and losing this reference is too high a price to pay for the comfort of avoiding suffering. For a while. From then on, Kaufman once again proves his talent by showing that he is not limited to creating interesting concepts, he is also a master at exploring them to the fullest, and transforms our ""tour"" through Joel's mind into a journey that borders on the surreal: the boy's memories are joined by his imagination, his reflections on past events and even the knowledge acquired during the surgery, since he is still able to hear (even unconsciously) what dr. Howard are talking. The film calls our attention for its incredible identity in the way it tells the story. The non-linearity is what determines part of the script's strength, after all, a lot of what we're looking at is a big extended memory. And, as the script presents subtle details, they end up having an effect at some point, no matter how small. In this sense, the montage works very well on the way in which it will intercalate these events. Everything is out of order, but is this necessary to work as a surprise for the viewer, such as: for what reasons are both of you doing this? How did they meet? In what period does this take place? The non-sequential way of answering all of this is what makes the film so thought-provoking. The scenes in Joel's head are impressive. The reality distortions, the blurs, the absence of light and the gradually disappearing elements have an immense capacity for immersion. It really feels like dreams disappearing, where only Joel and the audience understand, it's palpable and fantasy at the same time. Thus, when there is a transition and mixture of these memories, in that context it makes sense. Demonstrating that he has evolved as a feature film director since his debut in the role (precisely in ""Almost Human Nature""), Michel Gondry conducts the film with confidence, never allowing the spectator to feel lost - which is admirable, since, in addition to from the sequences that take place in Joel's mind, we are presented with two other plots: one involving Patrick (Wood) and Clementine; and another addressing Mary's (Dunst) interest in Dr. Howard. What's more, unlike silliness like ""Van Helsing"" and ""Haunted Mansion,"" which revolve around visual effects and ignore story, here Gondry uses effects as a function of the script's needs, which is admirable. What is most human in ""Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"" is precisely the understanding of something that completely escapes any perverse or insensitive scientism, like what we see on the screen when Clementine and Joel try to erase all memories, indistinctly, of their finished relationship. I like the way science is presented in the film. The feature film peremptorily refuses the lure of presenting a hyper-technological face of science, capable of generating even dazzle and admiration for its futuristic achievements. In contrast, the clinic's team of scientists who promote the ""treatment"" are not presented with any pomp or seriousness. The very device placed on the patients' heads seems poorly made and somewhat silly, belonging to any uninteresting and unbelievable sci-fi children's story. And here is the main and most accurate criticism of Michel Gondry's film, with a strong dystopian flavor, to the idea of a science without limits. What most essentially eludes the film's scientists is the understanding that we are made, above all else, of affections. It is this indelible affectivity that Joel will discover during the pseudo-therapeutic process when he exclaims: ""No, not that memory! Let me keep this one at least."" The necessary question remains: what science do we want for the future? The one that leads us to technical progress without stripping us of our most basic humanity, or the one that erases our memories and, thus, erases ourselves as beings with history? The one that anesthetizes and infantilizes us or the one that allows us to feel the world and thus humanize it? And starting from what the film gives us, through a love story so loved by so many people, we can go further. Is it not the affections, good or bad, that teach us individually and, at the same time, allow humanity itself to improve collectively, even with enormous difficulties and setbacks? The star cast agreed to work for much lower amounts than usual. This type of commitment only happens when there is the possibility of working with renowned directors, different scripts, or roles completely opposite to what is usually offered to them, but which can yield strong performances and serious chances in the awards season. Jim Carrey proves once again that he is a great dramatic actor, as he had already done in ""The Truman Show"" and ""Andy's World"". The actor is restrained and never exhibits any trace of his usual histrionics, transforming Joel into a melancholic and real figure. Kate Winslet and her colorful hair are not at all reminiscent of her role in ""Titanic"". And among the secondary characters, all have equal importance and performance. For fans of Kirsten Dunst, the scene where she appears in panties and a tank top jumping on the bed is worth highlighting. The cast is completed by Tom Wilkinson (Girl with a Pearl Earring), Mark Ruffalo (In The Cut) and Elijah Wood (Frodo from ""The Lord of the Rings"" trilogy). Perhaps the film deserved an ending that was a little more in-depth, which somehow touched more on these successive questions that it implicitly raises. Instead, the final scene shows the reconciliation of the protagonists with a rather cliché dialogue. But the slightly disappointing conclusion is not able to change a fact - the inventiveness of the script, the agile and vibrant direction of Gondry and the excellent performance of the main actors make Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind an original film, well directed and capable of think of several layers. For those who like to put labels on movies, ""Eternal Sunshine"" is a dramatic comedy with hints of science fiction, but mainly, it's a love story. That's the only way to define this script that mixes different influences and makes you laugh (intelligently), get emotional (without easy tears) and think (a lot). Just when you think you understand where all this is going, there is a twist and the story changes direction and even style. This time, in addition to messing with what is real or not, Charlie Kaufman also plays with the timeline of his short story. Are we at the beginning of a line or in the middle of a cycle? Is what happened really in the past? All this is detail. It's just a device he uses to make the audience think.",7 "Who doesn't love a good Tom Cruise movie? I was ready to love this but from just the first few minutes this was boring as hell and as the hours went on, the plot only thickened with boredom. Don't make the same mistake I did. Skip it.",4 "Well where shall I begin. First of all it's a great comedy with a set of amazing actors. I am thrilled for season 4. There is a lot of tension in this series, that makes this amazing. If you are a horror fan and like dark humor. This is something for you!",8 "Obviously this movie is a milestone against the cheesy course of Bollywood. Farhan Akhtar once again proves him a hard-working actor as he inherits the character, Milkha Singh. He is the core of this long 3 hours. Songs get A-. However, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's direction is a big okaay; but not as good as Rang de Basanti. It still fails to ignore the typical Indian approach; flawed by overdrama at several places, hilarious howdy romance!!!! Sonam Kapoor can not cope with her role. Overall, an admirable attempt to portray such inspirational character like Milkha Singh.",7 "One of the stone-cold masterpieces of the Coens' remarkabke output, this still feels small and perfectly formed. A group of characters get caught in ever more uncontrollable messes of their own making with consequences they could never have dreamed of; on this rewatch I was struck by the image of a captive Jean, running aimlessly, bound and blindfolded, an innocent representative of all of them. In contrast we have the simple, folksy-but-prophetic goodness of the Gundersons as the film's moral centre, quietly pointing to something more and better. A work of seemingly effortless genius.",10 "The previews and commercials for this film had me expecting something great. I was instead suprised to see something that reminded me more of ""Johnny Mnemonic,"" not in terms of plot, but in terms of the pace (sort of slow), and the ""Keanu Reeves action hero of the future"" motif. Overall, I thought that the plot was rather simple, and despite that, Laurence Fishburne's character rehashed it for the audience numerous times. I thought the special effects were great, but special effects alone don't make a movie great. The action was nice, but there could have been more of it.",3 "That's not exactly true of this overblown, over-budgeted, over-long, and over-praised piece of garbage. I've seen plenty of things that were worse. But this movie, which is somehow at the time of this writing on IMDb's Top 250 page, was something I greatly anticipated seeing in theaters. But I, like so many other fans of genuine cinema, was deceived and betrayed. That is because this movie is just another in a *huge* line of recent (dating back to the '80s) films that favor massive amounts of special effects, action, and star power over any semblance of substance. The special effects are good at certain parts (I like the curse reveal), but you can tell they sucked up *far* too much money. And the action is well-conceived, but a two-year-old could execute it a darn sight better. And star power? Don't get me started-- it's sad to think that Johnny Depp has ever been considered as being in that category. He has no talent, no taste, and no respect for either himself or his audience. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley have potential-- but it all goes seeping out of their heads from just being around Depp (watch the movie; I think you can see the leaks!) While not wholly poisonous, this dim and dull ""blockbuster"" is pretty terrible. This is another high-profile example of the recent cheapening of the American cinema.",2 "Watch it in blue-ray, don't waste your money. I don't write reviews generally, this is more like a warning. This movie is a mess, nothing interestin happens, is just a second episode for the real thing which is the 3rd film coming next year.",4 "Way to long for nothing..seems like quentin is making movies now just to indulge his foot fetish and toss it hearing his long winded dialog..jokes aside the last 10 to 15 minutes were ok. anyone that knows QT knows what to expect. mr tarantino dont be scared to edit that down to 90min, it just might improve it",3 "I really did, I tried so hard. I've played Witcher games. I played 3 so many times I could probably write the scripts. I can hear the voices of the main characters without thinking. I've never liked Henry Cavill. His superman, to me, was awful. The character I loved since childhood was destroyed. However, he redeemed himself here, I was pleasantly surprised with his Geralt. He was absolutely spot on. Except, for when he wasn't. In some scenes he seemed to drop the Geralt character altogether and switch into ... I dunno... Himself? I don't really want to get into Yennifer and Triss. The subject is a minefield and I can hear the names people will call me already. But why? What awful castings. We have been given these characters in the game, and be honest, most people this show is aimed at are the gamers that made the game a success. So us gamers have become very much used to what these characters look like. So they make a show and cast actresses that are NOTHING like those characters! It's like swapping an actor from one season to another. It never works. And it's completely unnessesary. What next? A movie about Marilyn Monroe cast with a dark haired overweight teen? Or an Elvis movie cast with a woman, because hey, we need to be inclusive now!",1 I was impressed by Season 1 and the fun twists and turns. Was pumped for season 2 but the storyline was so dumb and boring. Every episode made me fall asleep. Stop at Season 1.,5 "Civil War is basically Avengers 2.5 and Marvel throw everything at the film. Interestingly, this film never hit the heights of the previous Avengers film, just odd when you consider everyone involved. The Marvel films at this stage were very connected and started growing towards Infinity Wars. This at the very core is a Captain America film, and a continuation of the first two films. I've never cared for heroes fighting one another, but Captain beating Iron Man is icing on a cake though.",7 "In some ways, I should have ignored the 3rd season. It took a solid series and dragged it into cheesy C class pulp. The series starts in a good foot. Some decent characters who mostly capture the 80s (although not as well as in Ready Player One). The sets and costumes felt right. Winona Rider was one of the few poor performers in season 1. El was very well played. The second season shook things up and added more of an edge to the characters. However, modern politics started to creep in, starting with the episode about the sister. This was probably the beginning of the end of the series as it never really recovered. There are some glaring ""modern"" issues in the series. All mothers were almost saints, fathers either stupid or violent. Dialogue deteriorated into preachiness (especially in the 3rd season). Any male character with initiative was either stupid or violent (and all of them were sidelined, leaving only ""emasculated"" male characters). Steve was especially sidelined. The authors clearly had very separate ideas about male and female characters that were maintained rigidly. The other major sin was the 3rd season not only reduced characters to one dimension, it also tried to be funny when it clearly wasn't. It was like watching those budget kids movies full of preachiness and phony characters. Some of the dialogue was painful (eg. If you show concern for El, you're oppressing her). The first 13 episodes (roughly) are really well done. They largely captured the 80s (although Mohawk man and his merry twits were awful and very ""out of character"" - loosely like Punky Brewster but in adult form). The first half of season 2 also avoided preachiness and modern politics. it had a great balance of action and heart (probably like the Goonies). After that, the show's characters became arroganct, sassy, sexist, preachy and every other sin you can commit (especially the Russians are all villains joke that carried on WAY too long). Some of the newer characters like Maxine were painful. This is a series with solid highs and many lows. They really need to quit while they're ahead.",5 "I feel like I should rate this movie lower because of the cast and budget they had to work with, but it's not completely terrible. The characters are a bit over-the-top(not in an arm-wrestling-trucker way; no, scratch that, EXACTLY like an arm-wrestling-trucker competing for the love of his son and a new big-rig). I thought the acting from Andi was pretty solid, and I found Craig's accent entirely insufferable. The set was gorgeous and expensive looking, but they pretty much stay in one location the entire time. Like a lot of reviewers said, it has a meandering start, an interesting middle, and very cliche/sub-par/disappointing ending. A lot of eye-rolling and ""Oh, how CONVENIENT!"" for the last 30-45 minutes, which reminds me that the movie was at least 20-40 minutes too long. Probably a good watch if you're on a plane or sick in bed, like an Oceans 11 sequel.",6 "Dear Marvel. I understand that your shows are now made for children and supposed adults. Oh well. Another great kids show. Just didn't understand why good and powerful characters like Dr Strange and Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch had to be put through this embarrassment. The only good parts of the film were the deaths of Captain Marvel and Captain Carter (I feel Reed deserved a worse death for being so stupid)",3 "I loved season 1and 2, wrost season 3, they didn't make justice to season 2 ending, so lame episodes, to much unwanted scenes, its like they went for shooting then they write the script for season 3.",6 "I am still 'iffy' on ""how"" Doc-Ock came to be. The good doctor is working on creating a fusion power generator. Cheap, easy, free fuel for the whole planet. The only catch is that there was a ""miscalculation"" that causes the experiment to largely fail...fuse Doc-Ock to his little back-pack dealie with 4 powerful arms, kills his wife, and allowing the advanced 'AI' to influence his mind. Oh yes! The arms can think for themselves, and at times control Doc-Ock. He announces pre-test that the mechanical arms are necessary to do the experiment...as they are super strong, nearly indestructible, and magnetic-proof. But...short of a brief...'this is why I am wearing these arms' which in my mind didn't really give much of a reason to need to attach anything to his body....they really kind of blow his origin story. IMHO Of course the kid playing the Green Goblin's son is back. And once again...remnants of that terrible character almost ruined this one for me as well. Sam Rami...fire this kid. He is a horrible sub-soap actor. His lines are incredibly stupid too. He comes of with one liners like ""I pay the bills"" and ""With my money..."" and variations like that. He basically beats Doc-Ock over the head informing him constantly ""who he (Doc-Ock) works for"". I guess the whole movie felt rushed to me. The middle especially. I think Rami had a checklist of things he wanted to include in this movie.....so at about the 45 minute mark....it kind of becomes a mess. Spiderman loses his powers briefly. Why? Because he loses ""focus"". He's under a lot of stress so the poor guy can't seem to get it up. His webs stop working, he falls a lot. He can no longer climb walls either. Funny how he stayed 'ripped' tho. His eyesight goes bad again re-requiring the glasses he ditched in the first film. And he quits. Stops being Spiderman for a while. Crime in the city jumps by 75% and Spider is convinced by Aunt May (who supposedly doesn't know he's Spiderman, but speaks to him about the importance of being a hero, and why Spiderman shouldn't quit because little kids need heros..yadda yadda. So, Spidey puts the suit back on. Then his powers return. What? He regains focus....he something filler, more filler....and now he has his powers back. whatever. This, however, is where the movie starts to pick back up. Gong into the movie, I was frightened that they'd mess up Doc Ock like they did the GG. But, I was spared that. Doc Ock is now...IMHO...one of the best movie villains ever. Beautifully done...if not hampered by silly lines a good chunk of the time. So, really....I have 3 problems with it. 1: Most Important. They rushed the middle I think. 2: James Franco is a horrible actor and ruined every scene he was in. 3: Kirsten Dunst is ALSO a terrible actress...though not nearly as bad as Franco. Not only did this films Mary Jane have zero sex appeal but she looks fairly terrible throughout the whole movie. Lot's of close-ups on her half opened eyes (put the bong down) which reminded me of Garfield. Maybe it's just her Cat shaped head. I dunno. But her lines are some of the best in the movies, and she blows'em. In an Uncool way. It may be assumed that everything I DON'T complain about here...I absolutely loved. The effects are outstanding...mostly because they're seamless this time. The CGI is some of the best I have seen. Not to mention the sequences with SM ""flying"" through the city on his webs is outstanding...and has the capability of making a casual movie goer with a weak stomach sick. Bring It On! I say! Good stuff. SM himself is outstanding. Tobey nailed this character. The over-all story is solid, and there are nice toucher oh humor everywhere.",6 "Anya Taylor-Joy is totally intoxicating in her role as a troubled, chess protege. I still don't know how to play this game, but the sequences are mesmerising and the drama that unfolds makes this series completely binge-worthy. The production design and style for the period is also well done.",8 "This reminded me of a pg-13 Lifetime channel network movie. It had some decent suspense, but extremely cheesy jumpscares and cgi. I enjoyed the main actresses who carried the film. The atmosphere was spooky but the scares were weak. Overall I could see this played on the Lifetime channel movie network. I didn't hate it nor did I love it.",5 "Interesting concept. Beautifully shot. They stretched a simple story that could have been told in two or three hours into 8 by making everybody walk in slow motion, speak in slow motion, and think in slow motion. Annoying ASM sound FX and music.",3 "A nightmarish vacation packed with gruesome action and pulsating thrills. Its a horror-thriller which showcases the inequality of women in our society and the ill treatment dished out to them for deviating from the norms of ""society"". A slow paced action after an explosive opening. Gripping plot with good support cast. Dialogues and language are only for adults. A good watch not the usual merry go round off beat comedies thrown at your face. It's in tune with Hollywood thrillers although it is not well paced. However a good watch, Anuskha seemingly does well in her city girl avatar however, doesn't have that wild streak in her. Grab a bite and join the fun, start the engines and dive on NH10. Highlighting the our social-evils the movie succeeds in reforming the minds of our youth.",7 "The films still feel very very sparse and devoid of plot. The special effects felt more connected however this time and the chemistry of Venom and Brock was easier to accept with occasional chuckles from Venom lines along the way. The rest of the film though is not great and entire Venom films seem like a tough assignment to succeed in.",6 "I have loved the trilogy and hooked on it! I am not a the type of person to reread books, but these books just don't disappoint! The show is the same!",10 "Without any Famoua star cast this series doesn't lack in acting or story at any point . Good content.",8 "Solid watch. Decent background show, also works as a great show to watch. Feels like a TV show, which is nice. Enjoy the ""don't take no bull**** from nobody"" theme which hits home with loner moralists like me. Tough guy thing is good too. Any hard working m**therf**ker will enjoy this show. Not much of a family watch, but if you're a single dude, it's got the good juice to it. Gore, guts, fight scenes, and some cerebral vibes in there (think fight or flight) Overall this is a good man's kind of show. In a world that likes to shit on man's true character.",8 "I do wish the writers actually knew the difference between pigtails and plaits, though, because constantly being said incorrectly takes me right out of the scene. It's filmed beautifully, the production quality is great, and the acting is mostly good. Entertaining enough when you've watched everything else. Would have liked it a lot more when I was twelve, but being 50, it's not all that gripping for me now. There's a fair bit of padding and the plot and characters are simple and predictable, but seeing as it's for kids, it's fine like that. I can't really say more, so writing blah blah blah to fill the required characters.",7 "Episode 4, Old White Men, was very entertaining. Amanda Seyfried does a great job portraying Elizabeth Holmes. She lights up the screen. Looking forward to episode 5.",8 "A formulaic entry which marked the sadly premature end of Tony Scott's directorial career. The plot that is as simple as you could get - an unmanned out of control train races towards a city and only 2 men can stop it. Throw in your staple action film characters - a veteran and a rookie each with their own back story, an expert in the control room, a boss who only believes in playing by the rules and worried relatives watching it unfold on the TV screens. It never threatens to deviate from being a mindless, silly piece of a fluff with the script drifting from stereotypical male banter to the cloyingly sentimental in its quieter moments. Scott does an adequate job devising as much adrenaline fuelled action out of one plot strand yet they won't live long in the memory, much like the film itself. Its one advantage is Denzel Washington who even in weaker efforts such as this remains an worthy screen presence.",4 The movie is good but some points are actually false in this movie that could spread Only hate among nations and other religions. So when you mention it's based on true story you must show or try to show real facts . I can point out many incidents that are blaming other countries without valid information.,1 "Okay. So, when I first watched the trailer for this film I got excited for what was to come. I then watched the same trailer a second time a little while afterwards, and absolutely hated it; I thought it was going to turn out like the first Annabelle film that came out, or even worse - The Nun. Safe to say my reservations were wholeheartedly wrong. I'm not saying this is a great advertisement of the horror genre, but rather a somewhat adequate film in the 'Conjuring' franchise when held in comparison to it's best films, i.e: The Conjuring 1 & 2 and Annabelle: Creation. This film had plenty of good moments: 1) It was well acted by the leads McKenna Grace; Madison Iseman & Katie Sarife and just goes to show that the franchise can indeed survive without it's two stars, Patrick Wilson & Vera Farmiga; 2) It had very good editing and cinematography, which has become a staple of this particular horror franchise. The scare-factor I found to be rather lacking; the film would often build up extremely well and then pull itself back from going over the edge, which I found to be a tad jarring. Nevertheless, this film had me hooked from beginning to end, and I would definitely recommend this as a watch when you and your friends gather for a ""horror movie night"". Highly enjoyable; I give it a 6/6.5 out of 10 - maybe even a 7 out of 10.",6 "Season one was perfect in all aspects... but season 2 was season 1 all over again with the characters changing to the worst, eleven become angry, petty and really childish.... And many stupid plot holes",4 "I lasted 20 minutes before I could not watch anymore of this. It was great to see Adam outside his normal comedy role and I am sure that if I found the first 20 minutes more interesting then I did and I could stomach watching the rest he would not disappoint. But, alas, I could not go further. If you can then great have fun enjoy and all that.",5 "Thanks to anurag sir for this amazing movie , movie is full of comedy, love story ,drama i am love it sir amazing story,and screenplay to good",10 "I've been watching the first episode of ""The Assets"" and it's OK. Unfortunately, whoever set all this up didn't do their homework on 1985 Moscow... In the scene where the US spy is leaving Moscow at the airport, there is a Doppler radar tower in the background, behind the old Gaz Volga he is getting out of to go to the plane. There was no Doppler radar towers in the U.S. in 1985, much less in Moscow... In one of the scenes in Moscow, Christ the Savior Cathedral is in the background. In 1985, it did not exist. It was blown up in the early 1930's by Stalin and not rebuilt until the mid-late 1990's after the fall of the Soviet Union. Also, I don't know much about spy protocol, but walking around Moscow or any city for that manner, at night, alone in wide open spaces, is raw stupidity. Crowds help individuals blend. Being out alone is just the way to get caught. i would like to think our spies weren't that obvious. Otherwise, it was decent television...",5 "It loses a lot of the authentic feeling when they all speak English. I still like it a lot, but I really wish it was in Russian. I don't speak Russian, but I'm fine reading subtitles.. Maybe they did it for the American audience ?(no offense, I just think most of them would skip a TV show not in English..I may be wrong).",9 This is Netflix. Enough said. Garbage. They want my review being longer but what can add? Garbage.,2 "This was a real disappointment for me. Sure, it was funny sometimes, but it was just too unserious, nothing was at stake. Furthermore, the CGI's were just terrible. You could feel the green screen in almost every scene.",4 Well its definitely one of best war movies..... And also one of best released in January month Acting wise Vicky kaushal.... Splendid what to say..... Excellent as Major Shergill.... Yami gautam and kirti khulhari is decent well in their roles and paresh rawal sir is excellent.... I must say every Indian must watch atleast once this movie... To know the real Truth and how much sacrifice make our real Indian heroes.... Take a bow!!! For this movie,10 "This movie is one of those highly review critics movie that i dont understand why people praise and enjoy it so much. The plot is empty, it simple. Sure it has the best cinematography but that is it. I just dont get it. Go watch Gentlemen or Alice in borderland more excited than this movie.",4 "Too long and pointless and ridiculous after watching it you will regret the two valuable hours you wasted, two things kept me going to the end of the movie I hoped for reasonable explanation but there wasn't any and some how I enjoyed the Scenery.",3 "I am shocked, dismayed, disappointed, etc. that this movie is somehow rated as high on these pages as it is. It starts out as a comedy, crosses over into serious tragedy (the partition), spends time as a rom-com (romantic-comedy), is definitely a beefcake vehicle for its star (Akhtar) and his muscular torso, and adds a pro-India, anti-Pakistan polemic into the mix. Oh, did I forget to mention the Australian ""Sheilas"""" This is like 9 different movies spliced into 1 long reel. It's got everything except Nazis, polar bears, and aliens from another planet. And long; oh my god it's long. If this is the best that Indian film makers can do, they had better not give up their day jobs. But pleasedon't go into Information Technology. I have enough trouble with computers.",1 "What can I say about this film?? Just a waste of time!! It's so confused and complicated and you don't understand what are you watching!!!! There is no plot, no story, no interest, there is NOTHING!!!! Unfortunately, the 7 Oscars and all the other awards from other festivals proved that Hollywood has reached a decline. Every year, the films that are awarded, get worse and worse. Is it possible for this movie to have as many Oscars as Lawrence of Arabia????? What's going on here??? The Oscars were to be shared between Tar and All quiet from the western front. I put the two stars just for the effort!!",2 "POSSIBLY THE MOST SELF-INDULGENT FILM BY AN INDIAN DIRECTOR. PATHETIC STORY, FULL OF HOWLERS AND GIGANTIC LEAPS OF IMAGINATION (NOT TO MENTION GEOGRAPHICAL IMPOSSIBILITIES). ATROCIOUS HAMMING BY KHAN AND THE USUAL WILTING-FLOWER PERFORMANCE BY KOIRALA. RAHMAN'S SCORE IS REPETITIVE. BUT MOST OF ALL, IT'S THE DIRECTING THAT FAILS THE FILM. SOMEBODY PLEASE TAKE MANI RATNAM TO A SHOWING OF ""ROJA"" SO HE CAN RECOLLECT HOW TO MAKE GOOD MOVIES.",1 Watch if you want an anime where you want overpowered mc not a hero because what character building you are going to watch is far different from your normal mc vessel case he freely kill people and those writer also show you their family story and you are forced to thinking wtf about his/her now those all are dead but as i say earlier he doesnt give a damn.,7 I was having great expectations of this movie. But when I finally saw it it was huge disappointment. Not too much happened and everything was so slow! Positive side was great cavalcade of beautiful cars (and one motorcycle)!,4 "First episode plot is really difficult to follow even though I've played the games and read the books. Also the world doesn't feel as greyish and horrible as the Witcher world is. Also identity politics seems to be important for the makers. Middle-eastern and people of colour as peasants or knight (mage would be okay, as they have their means to move) seems odd as the world should reflect dark age Europe, not 21st century London. Cavil was only goog thing so far.",1 "Steve Martin is really the only good actor on the show. All the other characters have a flat monotone performance and the timing for jokes just seems off. I liked the chemistry between the characters, but the strange acting was unexpected being that the cast is well known. That being said, I really enjoy the plot for the show as it's a unique take of a whodunnit. It's all very quickly and at times cartoonish, but I've been enjoying the mystery the whole time. (Side note: It seems that the reviews are being bombarded with Selena fans. The 10 star reviews are a bit over the top haha.)",7 "This movie takes a long time to gain any steam, with a lot of all talk and no action in the first half of the movie. There is also little suspense and intrigue - just the superheroes pondering and conjuring their next mission, with Tony Stark and Bruce Banner creating a project called Ultron to act as a peacekeeping program serving as the movie's backdrop. The Ultron project goes horribly wrong and the machine takes a mind of its own, threatening to rid the world of humans in attempts to ""save the world"" - something we've heard before. We get to see action slowly trickle in during the second half of the movie slowly - lots of crazy CGI action during the rumbling climax. This film's plot sets the story for the next film, Captain America: Civil War, in motion. However, I thought this film overall lacked the entertainment value due to its extremely slow plot and lackluster story. Grade D",4 What a shame. It's an embarrassment to the great universe we have come to love,1 "I wanted to like it, honestly! I've been a huge Batman Fan all my life. And yes I still have a copy of Batman Year One. Love it. But unfortunately.... Take a seemingless endless budget, and all–star cast, great special effects, set design, costume design, and add in a monkey for a script writer / director. What do you get? A movie a bunch of hopefull Batman fans go to, and end up grimacing at every line of dialog. You get a movie that is trying hard to be a psychological thriller, but seems to have been written by a 8 year old. The movie lacks any consistency, and any real understanding of what it is trying to do. By then end of the movie, you are stuck wondering , what the bleep was the point of any of this!?!??! You get a beautiful to watch, yet, literally painful to follow mess. What happened? In earlier Batman movies Burton went for a more campy vision of Batman. Well the fans wanted something darker, something along the lines for the more realistic ""Batman: Year One"". So Hollywood decides to cash in on another attempt at Batman, in the height of the whole Comic book movie craze. And someone decided this meant diving into Bruce Wayne's psyche, and showing his ""transition"" to Batman. In Burton's Batman, they just showed enough of a story we all know and let us settle the rest in our imagination. In Nolan's version everything is so blatant yet not thought out enough to stop it from completely contradicting itself. We are beat over the head again and again with Wayne's inner conflicts. There are several excellent ideas throughout the fill that just keep falling flat on their face, either because of not getting fleshed out properly, or just simply from contradicting themselves. Little about the movie makes any sense, from the characters philosophies, to training with live metal swords and no head gear. Burton's movies were at least consistent. They worked within themselves, creating a world that gelled together. He stayed true to his vision of Batman, and came up with some solid, consistent movies. With Batman begins, expect to go from a great scene, to sitting there and just thinking, what the bleep did I just see. The scenes with a child Bruce Wayne are just painfully bad. Expect no consistency, no vision, no cohesive story. So what is this film worth? It is a typical shallow action based comic book hero movie with little true substance behind it. Expect ridiculous leaps of faith as far as what is physically ""possible"", expect stupid car chases where the ""hero"" almost gets dozens of people killed and tears of the city, expect anything but a good story. Production value 9/10. Story and script 2/10. Overall 4/10.",2 "The good first. It's a very well shot and lit, high quality production with great costumes and special fx. Overall it's watchable even though it pales in comparison to the original's early seasons. With that out of the way, let's get to the bad. First off, the plot or lack thereof. There is nothing moving this thing forward. No overarching plot, no immediate danger, nothing to hook viewers really. It's meandering in search of a plot all season long, never to find one. Second the dialogues. You can't really expect the level of refined sophistication that comes out of books that were years in the making, but this just feels wrong. Everything is paper thin. It's more akin to a run of the mill teenage soap drama than Martin's work in ASOIAF. Third, the cast. Most choices are unconvincing to say the least. Nothing breaks immersion like feeling you're watching a dude with a wig spattering uncomfortable lines. And that's exactly the vibe this gives off quite often. Plus, switching your protagonist's actor mid first season is baffling and probably indicative of the overall casting mess. Fourth, the events. I've seen nothing that felt fresh. No new stories or ideas. Everything is rehashed content. Similar events and character archetypes that been done better in the past are retold with few if any interesting twists thrown in. Feels like copied homework. Fifth, the world. There are no multiple stories from different PoVs unfolding here. We're following one set of events in a more focused manner (very generous choice of words there). The inevitable outcome is a world that feels small. We're watching exclusively the same handful of people, all bunched up in one or two locations every time. You never get the feeling that there's stuff happening in the background. In this show, the world is where the camera is. Finally, consistency. One of the great successes of the original, was in presenting a world that made sense. Where every action had a reaction and far reaching implications. This diminished and eventually vanished in later seasons as they moved past the books and it is the case here as well. Events may or may not have consequences depending on the whim of the writers. Characters are not allowed to have a personality off screen. They'll say their lines at the convenience of each episode and turn off. Overall, compared to the original GoT this is more of a parody rather than a prequel. However, compared to what else is out there currently, it's alright I guess? Yay for low standards. 6/10.",6 "First a disclaimer, I haven't read the manga so I'm looking this from an outsider point-of-view. The concept of placing a high-level level RPG player into a ""real RPG world"" is interesting but many of the characters are just too weird for my taste. I enjoyed all the human characters in this anime but most of the characters from the Great Tomb of Nazarick are too hard to relate to. The main character is a skeleton with suppressed feelings (taking away the feelings is a strange choice, it makes the character hard to identify with). Even the main characters name, Ainz Ooal Gown, was stupid. And what is the point of having succubus if you can't even have a boner (pun intended). There were also other weird characters such as insect humanoids, trans children, nazis etc.. The only interesting character from Nazarick was the demon Demiurge. The motivation for Ainz Ooal Gown's world domination was also not clear. It's hard to explain motivation if the main character doesn't even have feelings. Also, I don't understand why the show wasted 4-5 episodes with the lizard-men. At that point, it was already clear that the characters from Nazarick are so OP that there is no strategic advantage on making them your allies. And I was right, the lizard-men were totally forgotten after their introduction and they played no role in the rest of the story. Still, the show was not a complete loss. Afterall, I watched all 4 season. I just wished they had concentrated more on the human characters and made the task of world domination a harder strategic challenge.",5 "Each week I grow more and more dumbfounded as to how people continue to rate this show so highly. There have been maybe two or 3 ""pretty good"" episodes so far and the rest are truly mind numbing. In most episodes, nothing of consequence ever seems to happen and the show offers a genuinely stale and sometimes painfully-boring experience for the viewers. As a result I've seen so many fans of the series endlessly scavenging for deeper meaning to the shows extremely shallow plot to justify the lack of engaging story, mystery, or general purpose we see episode after episode, where there really is none. It's also unfortunately that one of the best episodes yet was completely centered around two individuals who are not main characters or even part of the larger plot that are not seen again and have more or less an inconsequential impact on the main characters. That's... not good, for obvious reasons. The largely standalone side-show episode featuring exclusively side-characters should never be the most engaging, emotional, and gripping one, but that's the reality of The Last of Us. It's getting harder and harder for me to maintain the motivation to subject myself to this visual-Valium week after week, but I just keep hoping eventually it will improve. Lately, I'm not getting my hopes up. The writers seem fine to continue throwing weekly episodes containing very little plot development, next to no character development, and most importantly of all, no infected, down the pipeline. This could've been done so, so much better in my opinion.",5 "It's a travesty that this won Best Picture over ""Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood."" Very predictable. I kept waiting for it to turn into a great movie. It didn't.",2 "Seth: I joined this class because I thought I was going to be cooking with a partner. But she's never here, and I don't get twice the grades for doing all the work. Teacher: I didn't invent odd numbers, Seth. Seth: I know, but look at Evan. Just look at him. Evan: (His partner is tying on his apron) Hey, don't keep me waiting much longer, I'm getting impatient up here. Seth: I'm over here in my unit, isolated and alone, eating my terrible tasting food, and I have to look over at that. That looks like the most fun I've ever seen in my entire life, and it's B.S. - excuse my language. I'm just saying that I wash and dry; I'm like a single mother. Look, we all know home-ec is a joke - no offense - it's just that everyone takes this class to get an A, and it's bullsh__t - and I'm sorry. I'm not putting down your profession, but it's just the way I feel. I don't want to sit here, all by myself, cooking this sh__tty food - no offense - and I just think that I don't need to cook tiramisu. Am I going to be a chef? No. There's three weeks left of school, give me a f__ckin' break! I'm sorry for cursing. 'Superbad' is without a doubt the funniest movie of the year thus far. I describe it as the 'Animal House' of my generation. Filled with classic but extremely raunchy one-liners and a hysterical penis drawing sequence, 'Superbad' is practically a non-stop laugh riot from start to finish. Jonah Hill, whose been kinda held back a little in films like 'Knocked-Up' and 'The 40 Year Old Virgin', is absolutely hilarious in a role that kinda reminded me of myself in some ways. Michael Cera, whom you probably know from the sexually frustrated teenager in love with his cousin in 'Arrested Development', is equally as good and does a nice job of displaying his acting talents. The rest of the cast is all great including Seth Rogen, Bill Hader, Emma Stone and of course the actor who played McLovin who was a constant scene-stealer. The only down-side to Superbad is that there is some parts where it lags a bit, and the ending is a bit awkward. Besides that, 'Superbad' is extraordinarily entertaining and I recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic teen comedy. Grade: B+",8 "The movie has a very good tone, I would say something like ""Air"" where also Ben Affleck starred. Starts of good, nothing much happening, more like a setting up for the drama that follows. Tony was a nice character, not like out of world directed but I would believe its a true story the way the characters are setup and the way the story is displayed. So my objection and the reason on giving the rating is because the movie took a little late to take off and when it did it was a little to dramatic that, it being based on true story, doesn't hold in the real world. Yes, its a movie and they want drama but man they little were putting suspense that wasn't even required like something less and more realistic would have also worked. If I be honest I was on the end of couch all invested in the drama so it was good in a sense.",6 "No one wants to relive high school but this show forces us to. Making us understand the importance of the life altering transition of what we call high school is what makes this show beautiful. I'll admit... I was biased and watched it because Selena Gomez produced it but now I love her even more... like that's a thing because she is perfection. Sexism. Gender roles. Sexuality. 13 Reasons Why puts us in the shoes of characters we don't realize we relate to but draw parallels with them. The show leaves you wanting more and also realizing in some sense we were all bullied and no one gets off the hook. No one has it easy. I'm not even going to discuss the lighting and camera work of the show because I could go on for days because it's too perfect. The bland colors paired with Clay's constant pale complexion teamed with his curiosity keeps you intrigued. And if you didn't notice that then just stop reading because you don't appreciate art. Clay?! Are we all him!? Someone afraid to be outspoken and ourselves in high school but at the same time he is the only one that doesn't wear a mask. He wants the facts but is almost too afraid to hear it (literally). I've never read the book but if it's anything like the show I'll be overnighting it off Amazon. Cassettes? Selena.... qween. Thank you to the throwback and emphasis on this book. Millions of likes on Instagram doesn't mean she'd produce a great show; her commitment to it does. No one asked her to be perfect she just is and it's for reasons like this show (and that super cute Coca Cola picture... like she made us all want to drink pop). LOVE is seen through the effort put forth making this show. PARENTS! In my opinion it almost shows a selfish view of adults not understanding their child's life even though they have gone through the process. This is my first review but I couldn't stop loving this show. You don't have to love my review but take the time to try and appreciate the love and effort put in this show. You're all very welcome for leaving my super ratch comments out of this💋",9 "I love the Dark Night, but as a very casual superhero movie watcher, this one did not do it for me. I felt it was very hard to get into and with this type of movie I feel like I am missing out on so much, by having no experience of Batman's background. If you already like Batman, I'm sure you will like this movie, however as the introduction to a series, I think it does a poor job of introducing. I recommend, if you are not super into Batman, to skip this one, and just watch the Dark Night. I love so many of Christopher Nolan's films, but this one is on the bottom of his list in my approximation.",6 "Basically this film has completely copied the famous 1990 computer game monkey island. In which the governors daughter is kidnapped by an undead pirate ghost and you have to rescue her. It even copies ideas like being stranded on an island and going crazy (like how herman toothrot was stranded on monkey island for so long and went mad). The idea of finding a ship and a crew. And it copies other things like not only it being set in the caribbean and having a voodoo lady, but the actual set and having to row through a swamp to get to the voodoo lady's shack, pirate towns made of broken ships and so many things just completely lifted from the game and lazily put into the film. The main villain of Pirates of the Caribbean also looks identical to the villain in Monkey Island. If you search for this on google, youtube, or anything, you can see how pirates of the caribbean just completely ripped off this game and is a really uninspired unoriginal film. The thing I did like about the film is probably Johnny Depp who seemed to play an alright quirky, silly pirate.",2 One of the best shows i have ever seen.i loved it so much,8 "Captain America is fine but ""modern"" from what his adventure lived in the midst of war, his adventures right in this new episode of his trajectory, what can really be appreciated are the good moments of action, involved in a well-created story, enjoying each character from the Marvel universe. The action is well prepared but the film shows everything that other titles have shown, but still fills the eyes with explosions, chases and a lot of hand-to-hand combat. The strategy is also a well-valued point in creating a good suspense, around Steve Rogers, Natasha and Nick a gas but for those waiting for the second Avengers adventure. Film reviewed on the 8th to the 9th of January 2021",8 "I expected a lot of this new Spiderman, only to find out the average episode of Grey's anatomy is much more exciting. 3 Action scenes in a 2 hour + movie is just a shame. In total there must have been maybe 10 minutes of action, which wasn't even that great. and I hate to say it, but i kinda miss the old Spiderman and his whiny little drama queen. At least those movies had more action in them. Another 2 hours of my life waisted. Skip this one if you're a fan. Or better, go see The Dark Knight Rises, which is way better and you will get a lot more bang for your buck. And it is exciting, which this movie obviously isn't. I should ask for my money back!",4 "Terrible film, complete waste of time. Only redeeming features were the nice sets and outfits. Rest of the film was diabolical, the script was all over the place and the acting was really bad with a huge miscasting issue, the characters are all uninteresting and one-dimensional. No character development whatsoever, no plot whatsoever, the humour is completely forced and feels unnatural. I have no real views on its message that it tries to convey and there's no bias from me in that regard, judging it solely as a film it is atrocious. Needed far better writing and a complete cast overhaul, and it didnt get it. I wanted to enjoy this but could not at all.",1 "This is one of my favourite movies of all time. It is so well done, it is so rich, it manages to excel at comedy, drama and action at the same time. Definitely a classic. Steven Chow, I love you.",10 "No television show has managed to capture audiences of all ages quite like Avatar. The introduction, characters, and motifs have become ingrained in our culture due to the charming, compelling, and masterful story of this wonderful show.",10 "The movie really dragged on. The core of the movie plot was somewhat intriguing but the execution was did not work. The movie was not funny enough to be a comedy; not realistic enough to be gripping; not exciting enough to stop you from squirming in your seat. The comedy was too extensive to be comic relief and their was not enough drama to need to be relieved. Johnny Depp, a fine actor, was annoying as the almost drunk sounding lead. More swishy than swash buckling.",5 "People who love India and who really want to make a difference, who want this country to move forward, should watch this movie at least once. Story,Cast, Direction are just Fab. Amitabh Bacchan Sir and Nagraj Manjule,'s Duet just dazzles.",10 "I know that Kate Winslet has been nominated for a best actress Oscar for this movie,but I sure don't see why. As a rule I do not like Jim Carrey, but that is probably due to his reminding me of Jerry Lewis,whom I also can't stand. In this movie Jim Carrey was very good in the role, at least his dramatic performance, outshone all of his performances,that I have seen The story started of rather interestingly enough, but totally lost me after about 20 minutes. I found it rather difficult to believe that this team of so called Brain technicians, were operating out of some filthy sloppy apartment, wherein Jim Carrey is laid out on a bed, where people are jumping all over, and running about the room. The story became so involved, with crazy sub plots, it became so convoluted, neither my husband or I knew ,what the heck was going on. Unless you are a die hard Jim Carrey fan, I wouldn't recommend this movie. In a way it reminded a little of Memento, which by the way is a much better flick.",1 "Blumhouse Blumfudged this one. I once read that Rod Serling got many of his ideas for The Twilight Zone by writing down his dreams as soon as he awoke from them. If that's true, then this movie is proof that some things work better on paper than on screen. It feels like a Twilight Zone episode, but my oh my does it fail to deliver. I admit that the art direction soars. The color pallet is divine. Sadly, that's where it ends. Unintended belly laughs. Boredom. Ridiculousness. That's what I took away from this experience. I got to see this for free on HBO, and I'm glad I didn't give in to the temptation upon its release to pay for a movie theater ticket. And Hollywood wonders why we stay at home to watch TV.",3 "I was really having higher expectations for this movie, since it's having here on IMDb(and not only here) a very good rating(and it looks like it's one of the best movies from 2018). Oh, well, I think that it deserves that. So, what I didn't liked: character Ethan - it gave me an impression of a very impulsive and a stupid guy... which should have been killed a million times already A lot of scenes were very exaggerated and predictable The whole story line was not great - actually really weak In the final, there are 15 minutes where the guys are having time to defuse a bomb. I swear that it looked like it was an hour...",3 The action sequences were enjoyable although it was nice for every soldier to allow the protagonist to deal with them one at a time. The acting was poor and the dialogue was poorly written. I hate the ending; this movie certainly does not need or deserve a sequel.,4 "If a movie won't give you the meaning of itself by dialogs, then you would expect that to give you through characters mimics, visuals, music etc. I think this movie doesn't give you both. By the way, dialogs were SO empty, as the movie.",6 "I couldn't see how this show could be good and I was still haunted by Elektra and Daredevil films. I didn't know much about the Daredevil character and pictured him closer to the version seen in The Boys. But then I was watching another scathing review of the rubbish show Hawkeye (Kate Bishop Show) and Daredevil was mentioned as being one of the best shows on TV. Not just superhero so after Finishing another lacklustre poorly written season of the Witcher I gave this show another go. And wow. It just gets better and better. The acting The writing The sets , the costumes , everything is great. Just one problem, it's ironically very dark which makes it difficult for my half blind family member to watch it. Other than that , brilliant. Ive only finished season 1 but I hope that the writers and actors and everyone involved in the making of this finds another project to work on with this character.",9 "This show really good. All characters are well chosen, the story is great (per season but also the continuing story throughout seasons 1,2,3 and the defenders) and the action is real good. Season 1 builds up to Matt becoming Daredevil and as far as a fantasystory goes believeble. The tempo is good and never a dull moment. Season 2 is in my opinion the best. They couldnt done the punisher story and character better. The prison fight scene is one of the best I have ever scene. Electra is a beautifull and likeable 'bad' person. Season 3 is a good finisher with a good storyline and good action. But seasons 1 and 2 and the defenders are better. There is to of Karen Page in this season. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is they gave the Karen Page character to much screentime. I really didn't like her character.",9 "At its core Glass Onion is a solid murder mystery but is hampered by weak opening and ending segments. The first 30-45 minutes feel like several somewhat unrelated set pieces stitched together instead of an organic unfolding. The next 1.5 hours are a very well done mystery and unveiling. While the final 15 minutes of the movie feels like something they threw together because they couldn't figure out how to execute something more cohesive. On the plus side the cast did a much better job than I anticipated given how mishmashed they seemed on paper and the middle of the movie certainly shines with a nice twist and some novel plot / storytelling elements. But unfortunately the bewildering beginning and undisciplined unsatisfying ending prevent this movie from achieving the highs of the original.",6 "My Summary is itself my review. As more you proceed you get more connected and episodes get more powerful and gets imprint on your mind. It is too emotional and still you wish to keep watching. There is no Drama, Its a power of emotions. I am happy I watched this. I say again : Simple, Powerful, Emotional, Haunt in your thoughts :",9 "SYNOPSIS: The word is out, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is Iron Man and everyone wants a piece of the technology. Unfortunately, Stark isn't the only one capable of building a suit and the others who can, aren't who you want replicating it. REVIEW: The thing with MCU films is there are always redeemable factors (possibly other than Dark World I've been trying to avoid that for years). The first 30 minutes of this film I love. After that, it starts to go downhill a bit. It doesn't completely go off the rails, but it starts to focus far more on the health of Stark and how the piece in his chest is killing him. Now, I wasn't hating the movie during the middle, but especially when compared to the first film, there was a lot less going on and it didn't keep the same pace that the other films do and to me, it didn't have a good final battle. I honestly felt that Stark had more trouble on the race course (which is one of the best scenes in the MCU) than he had at the end. Granted he had help, but it also ended very soon and there didn't seem to be any real threat to his life displayed in the film. There was more of a threat coming from his chest throughout the film. I know it wasn't the fault of the studio and I like Don Cheadle, but I feel Terrence Howard was a better Rhodey and was more believable in that part. The film wasn't terrible, but wasn't one of the best. I still did enjoy aspects, such as the direction from Favreau, the addition of Agent Romanov (Scarlett Johansson) and I loved Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko, but I will find myself revisiting the other films far more than this one. 6.5/10.",6 "Amazing mix of good refreshing humor, with an intriguing world-build, beautiful fight scenes, adorned with superb characters (& character growth) and a wonderful full-filling, realistic plot. I don't like to oversell, because in my experience that will often lead to disappointment- but I can say Avatar The Last Airbender has it all. I've watched a lot of movies, series, docus, anime etc. But this one is always mentioned when asking my favorite. I'd recommend everyone to watch it, no matter the age or background ! There is so much to say about it, because it has a special place in heart- I just want to say for the older folks, don't be turned off because it's animated or was a nickelodeon series Truly a masterpiece :) ps. I want to add, if you've watched Avatar TLAB and aren't sure about Korra (like I was for years), give that one a shot too, because especially season 3 & 4 were really good, and in a totally different way which was interesting.",10 "Dunkirk, I feel conflicted writing this and it took me about a time to collect my thoughts, but Dunkirk is a ear shattering, mesmerizing and intense war film but it lacks a special something to make you fully engage, and care. I was mostly in awe during this movie, but not because of what the characters were doing, but simply because of the visuals and practical work. Directing, cannot be understated that this is a incredible looking film, special shoutout to the color palette, it looks vibrant but also bleak, a fantastic combination. The fighter pilot scenes were something special, the beach scenes, the amount of extras, the scale of it all, brilliant. This is a movie that will suck you in, even more so with the score.. The score/music, Zimmer pulls off magic that never stops, every beating moment you're there, you hear and feel the escalation, the continues cold tension of waiting, it is a brilliant score, that only works on this exact movie. I wouldn't really go listening to it on spotify or anything, but it is tailor made to this movie in the most extreme manner. Audio, having seen a few Nolan movies so far this is by far the loudest of them all. And I'm relieved this movie is not the usual 2,5+ hours because I really started feeling it after a while and it just exhausted my hearing. Dialog was fine, parts that mattered were audible but not perfect. On a audio level, this equals a horror in terms of jump scares, because you will jump when it blasts your ears. Seems like this movie could almost induce shell shock just by viewing. Another audio caveat is also that it's highly depended on your audio system, for it to be effective you can't really put it on low and have no subwoofer, in a rare case this actually seems like one of those movies that only really comes to it's full potential in a theater, a opinion I don't always agree on. Story/etc, I get where Nolan is coming from. But it doesn't make for a good movie sadly. By giving us such a objective look, such a clean look as well; I found that the movie never really showed the horrors of war, because it decided to avoid any real nastiness. But that wasn't the intention. I don't need a gore fest, but when it's also so muted, it feels less impactful. Sound design for the screams are good though and very impactful, that is certainly a horror aspect. But back to the story, it's objective, flat, and just shows how it went, combined into three storylines which was fine, the aspect ratios where more annoying than anything though, and took my attention away from the full experience, cool idea, not great to watch. The main issue is making your main character generic soldier #77565, for a documentary or anything like that, perfectly fine. But we need something to connect to as a movie, the human element. The thing that makes war so horrible. There's just a lot missing there. It left me feeling like I saw a really pretty and impressive movie, but that's about it.",7 "While some parts of the movie are great, some of the actors really good and the costumes wonderful, the songs....are NOT. If you like High School Musical then you'll really like this because it's the same kind of music, electrical, pop, shitty lyrics... I was really disapointed from the start (that's when the bad music starts). People on IMDB are comparing it to La la land ahah that's funny because it has nothing to do with it. You can't even compare the 2... sorry but I enjoyed La la land quite a lot and LOVED Into the woods...those 2 are real Musicals if you ask me ! But again you should watch it, if you like average (bad) musicals, you'll like this one a lot !",5 You can only watch it as it relates to Harry Potter... There was nothing unique in the story.. The only thing that makes this a watchable movie is the amazing cast..,6 "Old friend from film school recommended this. (Don't worry he has since retired.) Wanted to like this but it was a waste of time. One star given for the camera work and lighting. Main character had little if any range. Plot was trendy multi-verse, parallel dimension, alternate universe/reality that has been done before with a fraction of the budget. So many long pauses. So many non sequiturs that even my young niece pointed them out, sci fi is one of her favourite genre of books and film. Dialogue was repeated and the conveyance of this took an eternity to happen. Rehashing of repeating of scenes with a little bit here and there is an artificial and inappropriate means of padding out the running time. Characters explaining the plot ad infinitum et ad nauseam was insulting (show don't tell better way to do it). We get it, Alex Garland you are intelligent, but why subject the audience to a repeated lecture on simulation theory. There was material for perhaps two or three episodes at a stretch but that would be too generous. Funny when there is a flourish of high ratings at the start that pseudo intellectuals like to justify their mental superiority by following suit and pretending to be clever with the bot reviews. Devs was a dull, dire, duff and drag of a series that had outstayed its welcome very early on. If this is what passes for science fiction then there must have been a mass of lobotomized viewers and reviewers. Save yourself some grief and read some proper sci fi by Philip K. Dick, Heinlen, Clarke, Asimov, Haldeman, to name but a few.",1 "Visually this film is superb, and it thankfully lasts for just over an hour and a half. I know it is about 20thC history, and the approach to this ' story ' of a catastrophic and barbaric century is told with such deadpan humour that I tried to laugh, even smile, but failed. In my opinion the film has no centre, but is all peripheral and although it seemingly has camp moments I failed to see the point why. The setting is fictitious and the hotel itself is set on top of a mountain and the story of its heritage is told in flashback, with a lot of escapes and imprisonments and cardboard bad men and heroes. Apparently dedicated to Stefan Zweig's extraordinary books I wondered why, but then I perhaps have read most of them from a different perspective. I loved one scene with an escape by cable car to a monastery, and Ralph Fiennes acted well as Gustave the eventual owner of the hotel, and so did Tony Revolori as the lobby boy of the hotel who will succeed him. Sadly for me I fail to see the purpose of this film's making.",4 A good product from marvel estudios. This phase has a great history.,8 "Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood is Tarantino's most personal project - it took him five years to write it! - and his passion comes through crystal clear, though it occasionally leads to overkill, as some parts were unnecessary or unnecessarily long. Multiple storylines are included and it loses focus at some points. The movie is great on a technical level, it perfectly captures the atmosphere of the era and the love confession to Hollywood's '60s cinema is nostalgic and accurate, even though I didn't find it as touching or interesting as Scorcese's tribute to early cinema in Hugo. DiCaprio delivers a great performance with many memorable moments. For example his interaction with the little girl is a delight, while the part where he forgets his lines, followed by a self-deprecating outburst is one for the ages. Pitt and Robbie don't have to do much, the former is effortlessly cool and the latter is surrounded by a mystifying, irresistible aura. The one thing I definitely didn't like and found highly insulting was the portrayal of Bruce Lee.",5 "Interstellar. Just wow!!! This film is a cinematic experience. Just go see it right now in IMAX. Christopher Nolan has made an amazing, heartbreaking ride of a film. In my opinion it was paced well. The twist at the end was just so good and was effective and made my heart beat much faster than it should. A great cameo from someone ( Not gonna say who but you will like it). THe visuals were just absolutely magnificent. They provided clear images of space and how perfect it is. Oscar win coming up right there. Acting was brilliant with Matthew Mcconaughey providing a heartbreaking performance. Everyone else was brilliant but i think Mackenzie Foy did a great job as an imaginative ten year old. Same goes with Jessica Chastain. The story shows the caring relationship between a father and his daughter. Just amazing. Go see it right now. You will never get a chance to go through this emotional journey into space and how the world has stopped exploring. Christopher Nolan truly is a genius. Oh yeah and Hans Zimmer gives emotional and imaginative music into this film. He is a legend",7 "Its not connected at all extremely bad and annoying to watch., Very bad story . It is missed up If you liked 1st part you will be disappointed of this mess.",1 "has an all-star cast of Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansen and Robert Redford, just to name a few, all of whom gave stunning performances. The story itself is a bit more complex than most comic book movies, as for much of it, there are three loosely related plots unfolding simultaneously, not even considering any subplots or back-stories. There are repeated combat/action sequences, involving both astounding physical and firearms feats, which are engaging as well as memorable. There are a few plot twists, some more telegraphed than others, but all acceptable; except for one incident that was taken from 'The Avengers' and 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' series, which felt cheap and used. The biggest issue that I had was that very few conflicts were actually solved, while a plentiful bounty were presented. If you're after closure, Captain America ""2"" is not for you. On the other hand, if you were a fan of 'Lost's' seemingly endless array of revealed, yet abandoned situations, you might feel right at home here. A point most aptly stated by the not one, but two mid/post-credit teasers. However, two show-stopping cameos are more than satisfying (for those associated with a certain school for Human Beings in Colorado, especially).",6 "We started binging Daredevil on a Friday night after seeing him on the truly awful She-Hulk. It was immediately evident though that I wouldn't be able to watch this show before bed. It's more violent than any movie I've seen - including The Godfather I and II. Impalement, gouging, crushing, dismemberment, enraged door-slamming, blood & brain splatter. The stories are gripping. The characters are not your basic comic caricatures. They are all substantive and credible. But be forewarned. It ain't your mother's MCU. She-Hulk would be out of place. Captain America would've been ridiculed then garroted in Ep1. Good thing it's on Disney+. I can easily switch to 101 Dalmatians before lights out.",8 A must watch for every cine lover who wants to something new and amazing in world cinema.just a phenomenol example of how a 3 hr movie based on dog can be so mesmerizing.u just cant take ur eyes off for a sec.,10 "Have just got back from the cinema having watched this film. I had made up my mind on it at least half way through. When it had finished I immediately turned to my partner and asked what she thought. Her reply, not much. Our opinions were the same. Nothing happens in this film I found myself not really caring about the characters No way would I recommend it. A far better film about the same event is Journey's End. Stay home and watch that one on Netflix",2 "The Barbie movie brilliantly brings to life the magical universe of Mattel's iconic Barbie dolls, with Margot Robbie's exceptional portrayal of Barbie herself at the forefront. Robbie's performance is truly remarkable, capturing the essence of the beloved character with grace and charm. Her embodiment of Barbie's timeless appeal and elegance goes beyond mere physical resemblance. Robbie effortlessly transitions between the enchanting Barbieland and the real world, showcasing her versatility as an actress. As she navigates the fantastical landscapes of Barbieland or adjusts to the complexities of the real world, Robbie's portrayal remains captivating and genuine. Supported by Ryan Gosling's charismatic depiction of Ken, the film creates a delightful blend of humor, heart, and subtle social commentary. The visuals are a visual treat, capturing the vibrant beauty of Barbieland and the dynamic real-world settings. Furthermore, the movie subtly touches on various themes, adding depth to the narrative and making it not only entertaining but also thought-provoking. While some viewers might have hoped for a deeper exploration of the dynamics within the Mattel company, the overall experience remains highly enjoyable. The Barbie movie, led by Margot Robbie's outstanding performance, serves as a wonderful celebration of the iconic doll and the values she embodies. It's a must-watch that reignites our fascination with Barbie and leaves us inspired by the boundless possibilities she represents.",7 "First of all, to anyone who thinks that I am unfair for this show in my review – you brought this upon yourselves. I was just minding my own business noticing a show surpassing: Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Dark Knight, One Piece and DBZ (the last three are obviously people's choice,). Naturally I was incredibly hyped to check this modern masterpiece of most exquisite sophistication out. Needless to say, I knew that my impressions were mostly filled with sarcasm and irony, I knew fairly well what I would be saying after viewing this ambrosia of art seemingly brought down from the Heavens by Gods themselves. I knew perfectly that this would be another Attack on Titan situation where people were so amazed by incredibly looking mediocrity that they'll fail to see further into its rotten core and instead waste their time degrading and insulting the intelligence of human species as a whole. Seeing how I've already sounded quite negative in my impressions, I'd like to begin with the great things. As I've mentioned the show looks amazing. The art, the animation and the simple and generic character designs are fulfilled stupendously well making the casual imbecile slobbering viewer looking to feast their eyes shriek like a schoolgirl on her first date with Ryan Gosling before he leaves to the bathroom and never calls you again leaving you to pay for both of your lobster dinner. Needless to say, my experiences with the anime in question were incredibly close to that experience – shriek of joy followed by a thought of ""Oh… That's how it's gonna be then, Gosling…!?"" The show looks and sounds like it could have been a masterpiece the magnitudes of which the show's extremely annoying and overrating yet defending, like it is the last board protecting Constantinople from the crusaders, fan-base makes you believe it could be. Of course by now you should be informed that the final impression is that the show is merely magnitude of awesomeness built on lies. This cake is verily indeed a lie. Despite its sound, visually joygasmic nature it is just that – a fast food candy. Supposedly according to the casual fan of the show, the show's purpose is to parody the ridiculousness of the anime and comic book protagonists, the show's mediocre attempt at humor and satire is the attempt of said fan to justify the show's criminal lack of substance or character or an overarching plot line or conflict. The show is based on a manga, which in itself is based on a webcomic drawn by a guy who just wanted to have fun and the description of show's origins is exactly mirroring the actual quality of the show. It was a visual expression of a bored author wishing to just write and draw a story and it shows – it looks and sounds good, but that is it. Now that we have moved beyond the sound and the visuals which have made the bulk of my positive rating (for the two of those factors I gave the show a whole 5 of its total rating of 6 so you know it has to look really good, trust me on this one, if you're the kind to eat quadruple cheeseburgers with a bucket of Oreos ice cream, it is the artistic equivalent of that), let us move to the weaker aspects of the show: characters and plot. Well, to be perfectly clear – there are none of that. The characters are walking clichés with ""Describe yourself in 20 words or less"" being the main rule of the show (I kid you not, those were the exact words of the same hero applied to each character introduced). If I need to explain why a character which is described by less than 20 words is less interesting than a piece of wet cardboard, how on Earth did you get so far into this review? The main character is a fellow who can win any fight with just one punch. That is not by any means a bad concept, nor is it what ruins the series. Some fans ponder that mayhaps before they became fans it was exactly this lack of conflict that kept them a bit worried of this series however an overly powerful character can be done right. All they need is a personality and interesting stories, perhaps where a character cannot find a challenge in physical confrontation they might in moral problems and an existential crisis? Sadly, that is not the case, there is no alternative to the main character's flaw, the author instead chooses to simply bash his head against the wall trying to introduce stronger and stronger foe (each of them so forgettable and unimportant that you'll forget them before they finish their 20 words or less introduction (most can be settled on 5 words or even less truth be told)). The plot is non-existent. The show is very ""antics of the week"" and it has no other choice but to be that. It has no all-covering story, some episodes to extend into two parters but that is it. The main reason of this extension is not because the author tries to delve into plot or introduce some interesting problems and conflicts of different nature towards our beloved bald character, it is because the main character simply cannot get to the problem and instead the villain has to demolish the supporting cast of the show, each of which is less competent by the show's standard of strength than the other. The show just literally pulled another ""Mikasa and Levi"" from Attack of Titantrope where a character is showed to be incredibly ""keeeeeewwwwl"" because the rest of the cast is simply so incompetent that they should've never been given the credibility they had before that point in the first place. Needless to say, slobbering cheeseburger munchers were left satisfied having to pay for Mr. Gosling's dinner again.",6 "I Love Tarrentino but this was so very, very slow & TBH really disappointing - not a classic by any stretch of the imagination - what was he thinking?",2 "While this is not a movie to remember for all time, and it isn't even the best super hero movie (X2, despite the tired plot is still better) this is the first comic conversion that actually fully works on screen. Every aspect of the film that matters is done well. The characters are still paper thin but I do care about them. The story is allowed to work at its own pace without being hijacked by the pixel fiddlers. The humour is not soulless one liners but small moments or fun riffs. Doc Oc using his arms to do four things at once while lighting a cigar, a terrible musical rendition of the old theme tune, and guess what colour bow tie the next green goblin wears? The action scenes are the most effective I have seen since Return of the King (which effectively defined year zero for effects based films). This is partly because they have been done properly, but also because they are done at different tempos. From Doc Ocs harrowing escape from the hospital, to bullet time reflex carnage, to silly pranks at the bank. Like Judge Dredd before it, Spidey has his mask off a little too often for comic fans - but in a film very much about identity, we know this is hollywood trying its best to entertain, and mainly succeeding.",6 "The movie follows the 90s sportsmovie structure to a tee. It's been a week since i saw the movie and I am already starting to confuse scenes in from the movie with scenes from 2006s 'Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby', in my head. Josh Lucas hamming it up as the movies corny antagonist - helps to blur the lines further. The movie sounds great and looks beautiful - but if you are looking for anything beyond that, this one might not be for you.",5 "There is no doubt that Hannibal is a visually astonishing piece but what strikes me the most is how it was ahead of its time and it still is for many people. I only catched its true essence after I rewatched it for a third time, and I usually do not find enjoyment in rewatching anything at all.",10 "Putting selena gomez in the cast was the worst choice they made, as an actress she is a great singer, in other words, disgusting, terrible, horrible. She can't get a sentence right without looking like a drugged robot.",1 Although the series is great and mind staggering... It has suspense in its every episode at the end... But many parts of the series are left unrevealed... Like it doesnt showed how the Anjali Mathur's father was related to RAW Yadav Taayi... As in the beginning when sartaj got Anjali diary after her death and he went to Yadav Taayi home and asked her how she knew about Anjali's Father ... And the secret behind Yadav Taayi's daughter interrupting the conversation by saying that he was her mothers collegue... And Also it doesnt showed how Taayi became so weak and depressed patient ???... Also in season 2 they showed that Shahid Khan who was the terrorist was talking on phone with his mother and at the same time they showed that his mother photograph was in Sartaj's mother photo album who was seating in her veranda and watching those photographs... It means there was some connection between sartaj singh and terrorist... BUT THEY DOESNT SHOWED THIS !!!! Beside it there were many secrets that are not opened till the end... At last good work and if anyone knows secret behind this parts please tell...,7 "I was excited to see Jennie as it has been many years since her last variety show appearance as a main cast. Apartment 404 was the perfect avenue to see the chemistry of the cast and they worked really well. I am an international audience so I had to double in on the reading of the captions yet i still thoroughly enjoyed watching them even without the subtitles. The cast have their own personality that shined through and they were commendable. Jennie is really smart and a quick-thinker. I am looking forward to the next episodes of the show, can't wait to have more laughs and entertainment to enjoy.",10 This movie was just OK! was boring at times. Even the MI TV shows are very interesting. This movie also fel too long.,4 "This story went nowhere over and over again every time you started to hope it was going to make a solid point that didn't end in the wrong orifice. It's not humorous enough to be Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and it's not clever enough to be The Matrix. It was little better than a silly allegory of itself and its writers-which we would do well to avoid like their proverbial Everything Bagel. The humor was not merely preadolescent; it subtexted all the sad single-tracked fetish of a sexually abused child. Speaking of sophomoric things, the visuals, while fascinating enough to be alluring in a trailer, were literally one flashy lighting or Photoshop trick after another, and should earn you no better than a C- in undergraduate film school. Save yourself, save your daughter, and spare the overplayed multiverse by finding a much better movie to watch.",3 "In this comic-book-movie sequel, industrialist Tony Stark battles a new electric-whip-wielding enemy, plus the US government, plus a rival weapons maker, and – of course – himself. Iron Man 2 met my expectations as a solid popcorn-movie followup, complete with believable characters, a plausible plot, and lots and lots of action. Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), revealed to the world as Iron Man in the first film is quickly subpoenaed by Congress, which wants his weapons. Stark, of course, is adamant that the feds not get their hands on, well, his own body. This leads to the introduction of Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), who holds many government contracts and who is apparently insanely jealous of Tony Stark's success. Meanwhile, in a far-off land, a tattooed Mickey Rourke – playing a Russian physicist, no less – plots his revenge on Stark, something about his dad being done wrong by Stark's dad lo those many years ago. And this leads to Rourke becoming Whiplash, a man powered by a device similar to Stark's own chest implant, only with giant electric whips. Neat trick, huh? That the military eventually – okay, quickly – gets its hands on one of Stark's suits shouldn't come as much of a surprise. But in this movie, anyway, the army isn't the bad guy, so there's that. After all, Stark's best buddy is James ""Rhodey"" Rhodes, played here by the excellent Don Cheadle, who's a lieutenant colonel. And you just know, having seen the first movie, that Rhodey will suit up himself here, as War Machine. Although the movie gets off to a slow start, focusing a bit too much on Stark the person rather than on Iron Man the action dude, it perks up when other characters enter the fray, particularly Scarlett Johansson as a notary in the employ of Stark Enterprises. (Note: She's not just a notary.) Downey Jr. is amiable as always as Tony Stark, and it's as great of a fit here as before. (Some would say this role represents typecasting for Downey Jr.) Stark is brave but vulnerable, smart but besotted. He's lost without Pepper Potts, his assistant and true love, and their relationship dips and crests throughout the movie as well. In fact, all returning actors reprise their roles rather well, and most of the new ones immerse themselves in the Iron Man universe seamlessly – including, I should note, Samuel L. Jackson, who barely appeared in the first Iron Man movie but is in several more scenes this time around, as Nick Fury. Yes, THE Nick Fury. Garry Shandling's also on board as an oleaginous senator. Only real quibble is with Rockwell as the slimy Hammer. At first, this looked like a role more suited to Greg Kinnear – smarmy white dude – which would be beneath Rockwell, who's a strong actor. But later on it looked more like Rockwell was too – pardon me – cute for the role as Hammer, who turns out to be much more ruthless than at first blush. Sam Rockwell doesn't look ruthless at all, and he isn't convincingly ruthless. Still, quite a bit of fun. There should be at least one more IM film, says director Jon Favreau (who has an on screen role as well, as #1 helperdude Happy Hogan).",8 Season 1 is Purely Masterpiece but season 2 looks like garbage of dump...,1 Do yourself a favor and only watch the first episodes of each seaon. They were kind of thrilling if you ignore all the plot holes. Unfortunately the look of things (the visuals are stunning) seems to distract people from the contents as it it often the case these days. Small side note: some of the lensflare FX were really annoying and distracting. Watch the Expanse instead - here you have a rich story / characters / universe.,5 "It is cheesy and corny, but my kids ages 7, 10 & 12 love it! The music is great and it's visually wonderful. Some of the writing is weak, but overall the story is fun and full of adventure and problem solving. We are looking forward to the second season!",7 "You could care less about any of the characters or their struggles. The world is boring, shallow, and uninspired. Same trash Disney writing we've been used to lately...(to be clear that had zero affect on my viewing of this show, and I have only watched 3 episodes)",2 "Nolan is by far one of THE most overrated directors. He has problem telling a coherent story. Sure he is a master of special practical effects, but that is defeated by his illogical stories. The dialogue was so boring. I am so tired of writers that make everything written so on the nose. Everything is so devoid of the daily minutia, emotional exchanges, but instead focus on tedious exposition. There was way too much flashy edits and effects, instead of letting the story just unfold in an organic way, they had to cut every 30 seconds, back and forth etc. Probably because it was the only way to save an even worse movie. I guess Nolan's praise comes from the fact that movies are in such a poor state and have been for 2 decades. I literally checked out after 2 minutes and stayed checked out for the rest of the film. Oppenheimer was introduced like 12 times during the first 15 minutes by different characters. Totally unnecessary. And then the annoying music. Why does he always have wall-to-wall music? I think Nolan is more after cinematic poetry rather than comprehensive narrative. And then the acting was just so bad for the most part.",2 "I feel impressed by the movie,especially the story and the acting of actors.",7 "This movie tries really hard to seem intelligent and shocking. Unfortunately, that's all this movie is: an attempt to be shocking. The messaging of this movie is all over the place, to the point that I don't think this story knows exactly what it is or is trying to be. That's not to say that it isn't worth a one-time watch. It's mostly entertaining for the first two acts, but the payoff is sadly missed. Anya Taylor-Joy is always a delight on-screen, and her acting never misses. I just think this particular character falls flat. This movie left me with the feeling of ""what was I supposed to take away from this?"" Good idea that goes nowhere.",3 "This movie is so full of stars, and wonderful acting of course. The story was captivating. The quick dialogue was fun. Lots of characterization of all the players, so that was great. It's' part of history that we often don't hear much about. So I really enjoyed that especially after learning more about this time in history. If you want to know more about Amsterdam, it's not really about that. I's more about the USA and the ideals of the country. I really liked the whacky main character played by Christian Bale. His hobbies and work were very interesting. The ending was good. Kind of a happily ever after film, sort of. Although they did allude to the coming WW2.",10 "This show was amazing!! Character development...was fantastic first off...before we forget...this was supposed to be a kid's show...to be that excellent with all the confines of telling a good story to children...is just out of this world the action scenes are meticulous... the premise....the creativity...there's soo much to say but...phenomenal is the only right thing to say.",9 John Malkovich was the best thing about this movie. I was rooting for the demons by the end of the movie to kill all the characters since they were so annoying.,3 I cannot understand the hype about this movie. Sure Adam Sandler is playing a different kind of role and the movie is not a comedy. Besides that its a kinda boring story for more than two hours which isn't easy to watch .. I was mostly bored and won't watch it again..,4 "Bob Kane was only 20 years old when he co-created ""Batman"". That was in 1939, and the young cartoonist could probably not imagine that his masked hero would still battle evil almost 100 years later. But there you go. After a whole bunch of actors (good and bad) have put their spin on the caped crusader it is now time for Christian Bale to slip into the iconic uniform. And he does a very convincing job. In addition director Christopher Nolan (who also wrote the script) provides Bale with a veritable galaxy of exciting baddies. So, don't be surprised if Bruce Wayne soldiers on for another 100 years.",6 "This is the worst film I have ever seen. Not even Michael Caine could redeem this garbage. As soon as Anne Hathaway's *scientist* character hypothesizes to the other *scientists,* ""But what if it's LOVE?!"" I was ready to walk out the door. It's like the Nolans thought, ""I know, let's make a lady scientist! But wait, she has to make poor choices because of a man so she's relatable!"" I was cheering for the dust by the end of this film.",1 "I like Millie Bobby brown, and I LOVE Sam Claflin, so I was really excited about this movie. But I was disappointingly underwhelmed. The acting is fine, but the storyline wasn't great. The setup to her mom disappearing and Enola going to find her seemed promising, but then it all kind of fell flat for me. Overall I think this is a fine kids' movie, or a ""play in the background while you chat with friends"" movie.",3 "I love Tom Hardy. I really don't like superhero/vilains movies, but I had to watch this one because of Tom Hardy. Well, I guess a good actor is not enough to make a good movie. The buildup is really nice, we can see that the hero is kind of a coward, which is surprising for Tom Hardy. We learn about him and his character in a very simple, efficient way. I especially like the editing sequence showing his reporter skills. Anyway, he eventually gets in contact with the Venom, this alien thing with confusing intentions, and then the movie goes beyond ridiculous. First, characters take insane risks when the Venom clearly proved his dangerosity (talking chill in front of the clever Venom, just separeted by a glass window...) But the character of Tom Hardy just vanishes when he gets the Venom. It's just too powerful. It stops bullets, it fights everyone around him (yes, also behind him) so he is just a supermachine which will get whatever he wants. You can't make a story with a hero that facerolls on everything. He just has no challenges anymore. The fighting sequences are just plain and dumb. After a while, he has a discussion with the Venom, which explains his alien origins, and that he's been chosen (but why ? ) and the movie just doesn't make sense. I didn't read the comics, and I don't want to. It's ridiculous that the movie didn't make the job of being self-sufficient. Plus, the hero doesn't even control the Venom in any way (even if he makes some deal at the end), so as I said, the hero and his intentions are not relevant anymore, the scenario is gone, and you should be too. That being said, I love the visuals of the Venom parasite when it's free, it really has a special, fascinating texture. For same reasons, the combat between two Venoms in slow-motions contains an outstanding visual sequence, merging together but also tearing up, very special stuff. But I don't buy Venom aspect on characters. It looks childish and laughable. I don't recommend. Visuals are not enough. The story is just weak.",5 "So many bad wigs, ugh. You'd really think the wig budget would be so much higher for an HBO show. The weird and forced woke/diversity shots became tiresome. We get it, there are minorities in the cast. We don't need a cut away every 15 seconds to show how diverse it is. Just stop already. On a positive note, Matt Smith is excellent in it. One of the few characters with actual presence. And I'm really happy to see that Chaka, from Land of the Lost, has finally landed a lead role. It's well overdue.",2 Watch watch watch... if you want to be fed with the pop music formula that doesn't provide any kind of art or subtlety. It's for those who love the predictable. Every song sounds the same. The film has been made for the masses that lack attention span and need to be spoon fed with musical diarrhoea.,2 "April 2022...THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR! Micheal Bay has big money backers, $150M spent making this funny, bloody film. Like one reviewer said, leave your brain elsewhere and enjoy the action and fun., authentic bloody head shots, knives in the bodies and grenade blowing up a head. Nothing serious here, don't why they even try to insert those scenes. Not worth paying money to see except on monthly n/f subscription. Got time to waste? See this film.",1 This story was boring and predictable. It was clearly an attempt at being artsy that failed to be artsy. The sex scenes and general explicit scenes where unnecessary and out of place. It's only redeeming quality was the creature effects where good. Save your time and miss this out.,3 "I think the larger fault comes from the way it was directed. Next, as a beloved musical with catchy (already written and loved) best filled scenes this version fell flat. Speak singing is not singing ya'll just like ya'll is not a legit word (ha). So when a musical is made without the qualities you find in musical theatre and it is directed and filmed like an EPIC coming of age story geared toward an adult audience (ahem, lack of fun, and about 40minutes too long) I don't know what a studio expects The humor and child goofiness/charisma is not there. Timon and Pumba were the only memorable moments for me (I find both actors funny)-so full disclosure-U had a family member rant about how much they disliked those characters etc etc) No doubt the cgi was spectacular (all those props go to the artists behind that intensive work!) and I hope they are nominated For art direction",4 "Another trash Web Series. Lot's of twist and turns, Season 1 looked promising but then there were lot of turns and twist, evacuate city, codes, chai patti and masala, no originality, same old pathetic script at the end. Seemed like a propaganda than showing something good. You must have better things to do in life than watching this",1 "A film that often had me enthralled, aghast but occasionally with my head in my hands. The film takes place on the juxtaposition between science and sentimentality and it is the latter which is at the heart of the film. The two often worked well hand-in-hand but disappointingly veered towards silliness in its conclusion. I had issues with the pacing of the film, particularly the opening act which dragged a little too long. Matt Damon's appearance was a waste of time and opened up a loophole that one could drive a bus through. The script was clunky at times, explaining what a worm hole is as the ship approaches it is one such example of this. It certainly was able to create an emotional attachment with the characters and overall, I would say the good in this film outweighs the bad.",7 "This is one of those TV series that deserves it's well publicised hype. Smart, sometimes funny, sometimes dark, running the gamut of emotions guided by engaging actors, acting, plot, twists and turns, music, photography direction and so on. This show really is something special, one of those shows where creative freedom was given to create a comprehensive aesthetic of sight, sound and thought, and we the audience are deeply rewarded because of it. Others in my family find some parts confronting, some parts confusing, but all agree there is a spirit, depth and engagement to the story-telling made strong by a coherent creative vision that exudes quality in every aspect. For me, watchable and re-watchable. This show is really something special.",9 "As a thriller, I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence's Red Sparrow commits the fatal and unrecoverable sin of being boring and uninteresting, where it should've been exciting and nail-bitingly captivating. All the elements are lined up for this Russian set sensually tinged tale of espionage, murder and double-crosses to become a white knuckle affair; one of Hollywood's hottest leading ladies Jennifer Lawrence front and centre, a solid supporting cast led by Joel Edgerton and Matthias Schoenaerts and some potentially pulpy narrative goodies but Red Sparrow over the course of 140 drawn out minutes fails to make the most of the tools at its disposal. Full credit to Lawrence for sticking to his guns in what was clearly a feature he didn't want to have hold back from the darker elements of this very mature themed experience, from violence through to the ample bubbling sensuality, in a product that uses its sexual prowess to drive the story of Lawrence's ex-ballerina turned Russian spy using her charms and wiles to become a weapon for her country but it can't help make Red Sparrow any less of a chore to sit through as we begin to grow increasingly cold towards the films main protagonists and their various mission objectives. Lawrence, who delivers a committed if never fully formed turn as the unfortunate but not overly affable Dominika Egorova try's hard to elevate Red Sparrow's lethargic delivery but it's mostly to no avail and while Francis Lawrence try's hard also to enliven proceedings with the addition of Joel Edgerton's CIA agent and potential love interest Nate Nash and an abundance of brutal and wince-inducing acts of violence, there's little point to it all when Red Sparrow feels so by the numbers and totally devoid of energy or heart. It's a shame, as you do sense that somewhere deep down Red Sparrow had the chance to be something quite different, something fresh in a sub-genre that has become rather unoriginal as a whole but with all its various sprinklings or originality and attempts to act like something it's not, Red Sparrow ends up feeling both overly familiar and high predictable. Final Say - There's a glossy Hollywood sheen to Red Sparrow that makes it a polished but undeniably hollow experience and despite the valiant attempts of its director and leading lady to try and do something different, Red Sparrow ends up being an overlong and increasingly uninteresting experience. 2 skin graters out of 5",4 "Expected very little from it - so was pleasantly surprised. Vidya Balan makes an impressive debut (she looks like a composite of Madhuri and Taboo) in spite of her mannered performance. Saif is good, as usual, and a much-improved Sanjay Dutt (he doesn't really have much to do so he can't spoil it) round out the main cast. The music is very hummable, without being particularly memorable. I was a bit puzzled about the decision to set the movie in the early 60s as opposed to the 20s (in which the novel was set)or the present day, but the sets and costumes do look great so no complaints. There is a welcome trend in Hindi movies to try and make period films look more authentic, and Parineeta continues it. A painless way to spend a couple of hours - although I've seen some websites that have the length at 170 min so they may have edited it for US release.",7 "I want to make one thing clear I watched only the first season which left me happy but not happy enough to move on. Also to my opinion, only the first season is worth it. Would I rewatch it? HELL NO!! Unless someone pointed a gun at me. I mean it WAS pretty fun ....",4 "This show has gotten better with each successive episode, I was a little let down at first with how this show functioned. But after 2 episodes in a row leaving my jaw on the floor, the verdict is in and this show is amazing.",9 "Others have mentioned the old house might have held some secrets (it didn't). Or that it might present a more structured ""Whodunit"" that leaves you guessing (it didn't). Or that the main character might offer a bit of verve, cleverness or pizazz, that might have livened up the whole affair (she doesn't, at all). I also take some issue with the director's choices in scene framing, especially in the beginning. There should have been more close-ups, and better initial intros for each character's little idiosyncrasies so we would could warm up to them. I simply don't care for how it was shot; it's terribly pedestrian. The fast, quick edits of the trailer are totally absent! There's something missing here. Todd Solondz, Tim Burton or the Cohen Brothers really could have drawn these characters out more and given the actors something real to work with. I thought it would sparkle with a bit more witty, dark humor. It wasn't quite as funny or snappy as I was expecting it to be. Instead, it settles on delivering more of a ""message"" about this girl, who does good, while the others do bad. There's also no need for Daniel Craig's poor Southern accent. He should have just done a British accent, it would have been fine and enjoyable, maybe given the film a bit more weight it seems it was shooting for, in the end, with its messaging. Additional viewings might reveal there's more to it, but I suspect such might reveal there's less.",5 "This show is hilarious with fantastic characters and animation. Unfortunately, I stopped watching after episode 15. Not because it got bad, but because it was removed from Crunchyroll and I can't find anywhere to keep watching it. If you can find somewhere to watch it, then I'd highly recommend it.",8 ".....because none of the characters are likeable, the acting is dire and the script doesn't help the actors one bit! A show needs to have at least one relatable character in it and, especially, one which you'd hate to have killed off by the writers. Lost in Space, unfortunately, just doesn't and, for me, they could get rid of any one of them! You're also supposed to, at least, hate Dr Smith and the original LIS series, which I'm old enough to have watched, had a Dr Smith whom you loved to hate! The character way back then, though, was funnily despicable but this version is just despicable. She can't even act her way out of it because I just don't think she has the ability. I really, really wanted to like this series but it's got very little going for it if the first few episodes are anything to go by. Netflix can take some existing shows, viz Star Trek, and turn them into a darker version with huge success so I'm hoping against hope that they can turn around Lost in Space.....",2 Hundreds of soldiers and police officers die because of one indian boi.,6 "One of the most unashamedly manipulative films going. I get why it's rated so highly. Simply because it's an easy watch that tugs at the heartstrings. But it does so in a very cheap, schmaltzy way. I nearly puked 5 times having to sit through this garbage. One of the worst Oscar winners ever along with Braveheart, Slumdog Millionaire & Green Book.",3 "My god, what a disappointment. Childish, crappy CGI, green screen scenes are hideous, music is silly. This movie does not feel serious at any level. Marvel has really lost it. Stop putting every super hero in each super heroe movie!",4 This looks amazing but where's the story?? What was supposed to be happening and why?? I left not knowing (and barely caring) Highlight of my visit to this film was the sound of a bloke soundly snoring for about 20 minutes after about half the film!,4 "Devs covers the interesting and relatively novel topic (for TV drama) of determinisim. It deserves a better score for its originality but I cannot be that generous when it is so flawed. The actors put in good performances, the sets are pretty good and effects are more than adequate. Many of the reviews for this series state how slow it is while others state it needs to be slow to be ""moody"". My truth is that it is way too slow and too long. The moodiness does not require such slow progression. To be honest you could watch episodes 1 to 3 and the final episode and ""get"" more than 85% of what is going on. I can understand why many have said that they struggled to make it to the end. As well as being slow there are a number of ""red herrings"" that I felt were just unnecessary such as the vast majority of Kenton's input as Head of Security. Dare I suggest, it felt like having secured such a notable actor as Zach Grenier, the studio was fleshing out his part to ensure they got their monies' worth. A lot of what he does seems incongruous to the rest of the plot and just plain unnecessary. I also suspect that, as many have also mentioned, that the last 15 minutes were something of an afterthought probably forcibly imposed to satisfy the network. The story would have ""stood up"" and likely have been better without it. At, the very least, the addendum could have been less than 5 minutes. Overall, I have given it 7 because I think new ideas and intelligent concepts should be encouraged but just wished it hadn't been such hard work to watch - the length of the series did not add gravitas.",7 "I think this might be the best teen comedy of all time. The quotable lines in this movie are endless. So many scenes will have you laughing out loud, especially in the first half. The replay value is unmatched. This movie comes closer to capturing what American high school culture is actually like than any other movie I've seen. It feels so authentic and doesn't go into the ""cliques"" bs that a lot of teen movies do. It understands that high school social class isn't black and white. The chemistry between Jonah Hill and Michael Cera is ridiculous, making for some of the funniest conversations I've ever heard. McLovin and the cops' side plot just adds an extra layer of chaos. And finally, I've seen some reviews on here complaining about the crude dialogue. Understand that this is how teens their age actually talk and behave. But beneath the rude humor this movie is actually very kind-hearted at its core. In the end, it's about maturity, friendship, and growing up. And it's handled well with a surprisingly touching ending. I can't think of anything negative to say. This movie is hilarious. Watch it now.",10 "Too much bloat and too many minor characters standing about offering little to a slight narrative other than a handful of shrug-inducing skeletons in drab closets. Yates is a tremendously pedestrian director when the pre-vis isn't telling him what to do. Despite this there's plenty that I love about the movie including Sudol and Fogler's goofball charm, Waterston and Redmayne's endearing vulnerability, and Depp's spooky, eerily calm Adolf Pottler. The best thing about the film, however, is a surprising and refreshingly (for this franchise) grim tone culminating in a quite frankly nightmarish final sequence packed with all the combined creeping horror of a Nazi rally and an electrical fire in a basement nightclub.",6 What a show! The acting is soooo great!!!! The acting itself is worth the whole show. The story to...and tje special effects to...Makes life worth living! Thank you!!!,9 "After the somewhat disappointing ending to Game Of Thrones, we have waited a long time for the spinoff show House of the Dragon. The first season of the show has just finished and here is my review for it. The premise of the show is set almost 200 years before Game Of Thrones and sees the House of Targaryen in charge of the 7 kingdoms and having to deal with all the conflict that comes with that. Main Character Milly Alcock & Emma D'Arcy play the young and older version of Rhaenyra Targaryen and they are both fantastic. Alcok creates this really interesting young character and she is just enigmatic on screen and I don't know why but she was one of the best parts of the show. When D'Arcy took over the role she did a great job on building on the hard work that Alcok did and feel like an older version of this character. She is just really charismatic on screen and even though I wasn't a huge fan of the time jump she did a great job. Supporting Characters This is one of the biggest supporting characters that you will ever see, so I definitely won't mention everybody but everybody is fantastic in this show and delivers really strong performances. Matt Smith plays Daemon Targaryen and he is probably the best part of the show, he is so charismatic and he owns the screen in every scene that he is in. The character has so much development and intrigue of the show that seems to have earnt him much praise and love from the fandom. Rhys Ifans plays Otto Hightower and he is certainly one of the more manipulative and conniving members of the cast. This character reminds me the most of the best characters from GOT and seeing him try and manipulate the situation is interesting to watch. Paddy Considine plays King Viserys Targaryen and he is fantastic, you see this man try and control this whole situation that he is put in and Considine nails it, especially throughout the time jump where he has to give very different performances. Story The story of the show is interesting. It documents some of the events that we were told about in GOT and seeing this rich lore come to life, the plotting and scheming is there and when it really gets into it, it really hits the high notes. The issue is mainly about the amount of content that is attempted here, the infamous time jumps have been an issue for me and made it sometimes hard to care about these characters. Also the finale didn't feel as high stakes as I think it should have done, which is a bit disappointing. Script The script is really good. The writing is strong and the characters are much better written here. It is a very serious show with only a few sprinkles of humour but it feels appropriate and I am just happy to see these people fleshed out. Style The show looks amazing, the CGI is out of this world and the budget is definitely a big plus. When the action takes place, it is handled really well and in pretty brutal fashion. But the pacing of the show is a bit off, first the time jumps really don't help with getting us established with these characters and their actors. Also some of the episodes do feel a little slow at times with not much actually happening which is a shame. Overall Overall, House of The Dragon Season 1 is a Great start for this new spinoff series. It continues good work from Game Of Thrones and with a few refinements it can live up to the epic heights. Rating - 8/10.",8 "'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' was very popular when it was first released, and seems to remain a popular choice with TV networks. Until recently, I avoided it at all costs, thinking it would be exactly the sort of movie I hate. After finally watching it, I was pleasantly surprised. Even with the odious and totally unfunny Russell Brand, it was adequately funny, an unexpected change for a romcom. There was plenty I didn't like though. There's a lot of crude humour in the film, and some of it just isn't funny. This film is the movie equivalent of a joke book. Some parts are amusing, others not so much. Overall, 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' provides a few good laughs, but is rather hit and miss with its humour. A moderately amusing, but overrated comedy.",6 Poor scenario and boring. Well directed though. Actors tried really hard just for a fairytale. What a waste of energy.,6 "As ""The Dark Knight Rises"" opens - picking up eight years after the events chronicled in ""The Dark Knight"" - we find eccentric billionaire Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) in a rather depressed state of mind. He has essentially withdrawn from the world, given up his crime-fighting ways and hung up his Batman cape, having largely fallen out of favor with the citizens of Gotham City who see him less as a hero and more as an out-of-control killer. Only his loyal servant/father-figure, Albert (the venerable Michael Caine), cares enough to give him a swift kick in the rear-end every now and again to try to get him to move on with his life. All this changes, however, when the fascistic Bane comes to town, a figure so consummate in his villainy that he is willing to blow up the whole blasted metropolis with an atomic bomb if he doesn't get what he wants. Though Christopher Nolan's latest entry in the series is nowhere near as engaging or as gripping as the previous two (especially the second), the movie attains a certain historical and contemporary significance with its echoes of both the French Revolution and Occupy Wall Street, though, oddly, the movie seems intent on putting us on the wrong side of history in both cases (rooting for a corrupt status quo and against a grass-roots uprising against that corruption). And, let's face it, Heath Ledger's Joker - one of the richest villains in all of movie history - would be a hard act for anyone to follow, and Tom Hardy's Bane, even with his mask and amplified voice, seems a mite tame in comparison. On his own terms, however, Bane is reasonably effective, if only because of the implacable nature of his evil, which manifests itself in his willingness to sacrifice masses of innocent people to enrich his own power. Thanks partly to the muddled politics and partly to the overstuffed nature of the storytelling, the movie never finds a way to fully engage its audience in the world it's created. In fact, in comparison to the narrative sturdiness of its two predecessors, ""The Dark Knight Rises"" comes across as a bit of a messy affair overall, with subplots spinning off in all directions, with little gravity at the core to bind it all together. A case in point: while Anne Hathaway brings a degree of flirtatious charm to the role of cat burglar-turned-Cat Woman, the character as a whole seems like an afterthought, tacked onto the story to provide some counter-balancing romantic interludes for the sullen, all but monastic Wayne. The cast is rounded out by Gary Oldman, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Aaron Eckhart and others, but, more so than in the two previous entries in the series, the real stars of ""The Dark Night Rises"" turn out to be the visual pyrotechnics and special effects.",6 "It was cool but it reminded me a lot of The Happening. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. And for those who say they paid to see the ending..whats wrong? Does it hurt to use to your brain to imagine an ending?",6 "Right up there with the best. haqeeqat 1964 >> border >> lakshya >> URI the sound quality is superb.",9 "The clever yet disappointing thing about Forrest Gump, is that it's an obvious fantasy story. A story in which characters and the situations they're put in cannot possibly be real. Yet the story is told and acted as if it's an actual biography of a socially inept individual's life, who is successful with below average thinking faculties. Never revealing it's pure fantasy!",7 "Really? Loved the original as a kid. This is pathetic. Horrible actors, horrible acting (except for Penny). And the whole story is a mess! Forced myself through 5 episodes and that was all I could take. DONT WAISTE YOUR TIME!",1 First season obvious 10/10. Honestly. This is the best Netflix has to offer. Second season 8/10. Still great but it did drop in quality. Ends VERY similar to season one.,6 The subject matter of suicide deserves better treatment than this show provides. A terrible production with awful acting and dialogue.The cast all look 5 or more years older than their characters are supposed to be. It was like watching an 80's teen movie with all the stereotypical characters in there. And then throw in a suicide to gel it all together. The plot lines were completely unbelievable and uninteresting. I give it a 3 rating and that is for the music and the Mustang car.,3 "I looove Jeniffer Lawrence but i am sorry to say this film is so bad :( A lot of plot holes, scenes that were forced or unnecessary or didn't make any sense. Some gratuitous violence and one dimension characters, very shallow and predictable.",2 "I just saw the movie. I have been a comic reader and a movie goer for more than twenty years now, and a film like this should have been my wet dream. Instead what I saw was a hollow, empty attempt to recreate the magic of the original comic book: an attempt that poorly fails in a miserable way despite (or I should say: thanks to) all the special effects and the star power the producers have tried to throw in. The fantasy, the wit, the ideas that were present in the comic and that made it the dreams and the joy of so many kids, were completely absent in this studio behemoth. I will admit that the recreation of such magic was a difficult task, probably doomed from the beginning: but this thing is completely lacking brain, or direction, or any meaning at all. The script is a total and utter disaster, full of bore and incredibly shallow, and it goes just ridiculous every time it tries to go funny with sketches and jokes all very similar between themselves. I will rate the movie 2 stars just to give it credit for having been able to give us the first decent Banner/Hulk: it took only three attempts to the Hollywood writers - and god knows how many millions of dollars wasted. Movies like ""Avengers"" are unlucky children that inherit only all the defects from both the parents, which in this case would be Mr. Mainstream Comics and Mrs. Movie Industry. This leaves them with basically no audience: they are too much gruesome and boring for kids, too much childish for youngsters, while for the adults - at least for those the grown-up ones - there are just too many capes. The same stories, printed on comic pages, still resonate in popular culture after decades: but this movie will be hopefully forgotten as soon as the media battage slow down.",2 So this TV-MA show full of action about a person who got blinded as a kid after saving a old man from getting hit from a car is very different then the movie this show I don't get is great with sexual content makes this action but I get it. It is like i Zombie but i Zombie sends a shiver down your spine and adds more detail showing Liv's visions and how she turned into a zombie and the zombie played by Rose McLever is great. Daredevil is really like i Zombie and you should watch both shows Daredevil season 2 comes out 2016 and i Zombie and still going and new episodes are on at 9/8 Central on CW. Daredevil is my favorite and I am so sad it returns next year.,8 "Pointless, followed by poor storyline, wooden acting from Elizabeth Olsen, she can be so much better. Paul Bettany is okay, Teyonah Parris and Randall Park shine, Kat Dennings is always beautiful but they had her still doing 2 Broke Girls. So lousy writing, and since it's a director's medium Matt Shakman needs more education, less budget.",3 It was really hard to not fall asleep watching this.,2 Movie is really awesome... Jonny depp was really unrecognizable on first shot... really enjoyed the movie.. Can't wait long for part 2....,7 Get motivated 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍,8 "So disappointing! First of all they eat food throughout 5 years and the food doesn't expires, childish mistake! The second one, I mean what kind of demon doesn't have the power to enter inside a house, and meanwhile in the same time has the power to destroy the world, ridiculous! Editing so poor. There are a million things that doesn't make sense to this movie.",1 "The Shawshank Redemption is an exciting and very emotional excursion. It is the best ""jail"" movie ever made, for sure. There's suspense, surprises, and more, but it's true greatness is in it's show of the human spirit triumphing over impossible odds. With a pair of great actors and a very nice script, The Shawshank Redemption winds up getting a 10/10 from me.",2 "About twenty minutes in you realise this isn't the action packed intro; al la Bond. This IS the film. It's ok, it's fine, just leave your brain at the door as they say. To be more specific leave any kind of ability to appraise even the most basic human entertainment at the door. I love a dumb action film and, honestly, I'm not comparing this to Saving Private Ryan. Everyone is on good form including the director. It's just a bit vacuous, there. No one or their motivation to care about. There's a warning at the beginning about gratuitous product placement. It really didn't need it, at any pint I was expecting a meeting to take place involving a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Not terrible to look at but rather pointless.",5 Should've ended after season one tbh. And they cancel good shows like The OA so they can make more of this repetitive show and other crap shows no one watches.,8 "All the hype about being a beautiful movie love story, etc. is nothing but hooey. I LOVE science fiction, fantasy, whatever and this is not something that I would recommend to anyone. It's kind of ridiculous, has been done and just doesn't hold up. The fact that it won Best Movie is an insult to great movies like Three Billboards and Phantom Thread that were out the same year. The acting was average. Overall, I just did not like this movie and it was a waste of talent.",3 "The series continues to develop, both in terms of content and appearance. Great soundtrack and character development and insanely good monsters !! I hope more seasons will follow and it's not after the third ending. You should definitely give the series a chance.",8 I'm a huge Leonado DiCaprio & Brad Pitt fan. They're the best actors but what was this movie. It was so so so boring and unbelievably long! How did it get this good rating idk! Yes the acting was just perfect but there was no story!!!! Not recommended at all. Literally slept in between. Only let 10 minutes were good!,3 "Captain America: Civil War is one of Marvel's best movies. Without spoiling the movie, it turns out to be strong acting, epic, and awesome.",10 It's hard to understand how she was cast. They wanted someone young with a following? I didn't know anything about her except she used to sing and now I know that she really can not act at all. It's kinda of embarrassing.,4 "What a pity to not have seen it in a dark room in solitude and increasing its box office numbers by world-changing 10 Euros, yet early enough to cherish this movie. Personally, I do not understand anyone who perceives it as too long. It could have played for three hours and internally was also wished as that, nonetheless it gladly did not rush and took its time to think about itself, as we were thinking about it. At least, this was what should have been done, but people seemed to have wanted an Oppenheimer Biography of Spielberg being crushed by the waves at Saving Private Ryan in the first minute and then ,,The Fablemans - Only the Audience survives'' popping up. Following shots of him crying at set for not having achieved his mentally perfected Vision of Hook yet and overacting about his Obsession, than viewing the Stillness of becoming one with the passion. (Of course, the brilliant soon star Gabriel LaBelle still would have rocked it either way.) This would have been awesome too for sure, but the apparently unseen poetry, at worst deemed pretentiousness, which was beautifully countered by John Williams Artwork, was not awaited or wished for. All in all, it was wanted for the mass to read between the lines and see beyond the energy of the family; how every fragment connected and lead to the first movie of Spielberg and consequential pieces of art that were gifted to us.",10 "Finally gave in and forced myself to watch Top Gun maverick, I did at one point almost turn it off. Laughable unrealistic tripe of posing idiots in sun glasses. Or two hours of Tom cruise smiling at the camera. Script was funny unintentionally, the scene where he meets up with iceman sent me into fits of laughter, the love scene was even better, I almost threw up. I wanted to like it but I just couldn't see anything to like, couldn't get past how bad it got. I hoped it would get better but sadly no. The motorbikes were good, the jets were ok. Some of the flying scene were ok, unreal though. Corny b movie at its best, and of course the diversity was there. I did here there may be Top Gun 3. . No more please little Tom.",3 "Very derivative. So many big names but for some reason not a good performance to be found. Script is boring and unnecessary verbosity is added in place of true wit. Visual style is unoriginal, a straight copy and paste from other Sherlock Holmes and period pieces. Third wall breaks are just pure cringe. The film has quite a diverse cast not yet seen Sherlock Holmes and other period movies, which is good to see but it's incorporated in a very tokenism and tone deaf way that all it does is kind of point to it and takes you immediately out of the story's era. Doesn't surprise me this ended up going to Netflix - and not to the cinema - which seems to be more and more today's equivalent of ""Straight to DVD""",4 "The series started out so great! But then after the second episode, I felt like a different set of writers took over. I found myself not liking this series. It got so boring, I just couldn't get past that episode and quit. The robot and the chicken were the only ones I liked. The rest was a big no for me. A lot of dumb moves from the characters. For folks who were intelligent enough to navigate through space, they made a lot of poor choices that had me scratch my head and say, ""huh?!"" Or ""what in tarnation?"" I don't know, I really wanted to like this series, but whatever made them change the flow from the first two episodes is mind-boggling.",1 "Sometimes I feel people rate a show based on unrealistic expectations. This is not a PG16 show , it's a family show and a good one at that. The CGI is really really good here and the adventures of the Robinsons are really fun to watch. Season 2 is even better than season 1. Thankfully this is not Another Life or the I-land , 2 PG16 shows from Netflix that have scripts that looked to have been written by kids. Just give the Robinsons a chance !",9 "Overall, pretty mundane. Worst thing was that, even though (because of modern feminism) her weaknesses are reduced to vulnerability toward piercing objects, and that's already too much boredom to accept as her adventures are basically not challenging at all.. wait for it!! She basically died in the scene some 30 grenades were detonated around her. You have to realize that grenades do not just kick her out of area like a catapult. She would have been subject to thousands of piercing objects. She just died there. I compromised and accepted that because of feminism, her original weaknesses were not politically correct, but for god's sake, at least stick to her new weaknesses!",2 "The writer/star of FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, Jason Segel, is the kind of artist who isn't afraid to let it all hang out there for everyone to see and subsequently appreciate or pick apart. He writes his pain on to the screen and isn't afraid to get naked on the path to true understanding. In the writer's world, naked is a fairly obvious metaphor for vulnerability but here it just means nude. And so, as Segal's penis flaps back and forth against his painfully pale body, moments before Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) breaks up with him, the Judd Apatow movie machine unleashes its latest raw comedy from the mind of the modern male. This particular male is Peter Bretter (Segel), a slob who can barely pick up after himself but somehow manages to maintain a serious relationship with a gorgeous actress girlfriend and holds down a job as a composer for schlock television. He's not unattractive nor without his charms but he does raise the question as to how he ever managed to get himself this well positioned. He also has no trouble at all finding numerous beautiful women to help him take his mind off Sarah. And while forgetting Sarah Marshall proves much more complicated than Peter had hoped - it doesn't help that they have found themselves both at the same Hawaiian resort – he can at least have the last laugh by vilifying her as a horrible human being before the credits role. Without giving too much away, he will have the option, as the sympathetic character, to walk away happy but Sarah, as the heartbreaker, has been doomed since Hester Prynne was sent to prison with that darn scarlet letter across her chest. If I were Apatow, I would be a little tired of hearing my name being attached to all of these projects. If anything, he should make sure to have a firmer hand in the process in the future. FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL is not without the hilarity and genuine character development that his past productions have captured so poignantly but its bizarre subplots and many rushed moments make it somewhat forgettable.",7 "another Hollywood flick with lots of boom boom and bang bang, thats it... there is no good story, no remember able characters or anything which hooked which i could remember off. the overwhelming special effects are cool for 5min, then it gets boring like everything which does not seem to end ! so i fell asleep after 30min, no kidding. i don't even remember the story of the movie... as i said, it was just one explosion after the other and washed up phrases every science fiction fan knows already. so, don't expect too much !",2 "Everything is over the top. The plot will twist at least 5 times before the end. Daniel Craig even has a thouthern accent to hide he was James bond. Acting is well perfomered by all actors. After 1,5 Hours is was a 7 then the BS started and became a 3.",3 Another 14g on his head. No reasoning and complete bs. STOP THIS FRANCHISE YOU ARE MORE THAN FINISHED.,2 The best part of the movie was the first 10 minutes but then the rest of the movies just like the first 10 minutes,1 "This is the most generic superheroes movie, literally you can predict what happen next, if you want see a movie just to relax your brain, this is the best choice",3 "It started really slow on season 1 kept on watching for the fact that Phil Coulson was in it but my god what a journey the show has made for past 7 years. It was emotional, humorous, action packed, thrilling and intriguing. The ending season was basically a gift to long time watchers by bringing back so many old faces and story-lines from previous seasons. Very logical and satisfying ending of the series and creating a big possibility for spin-offs.",9 "This is a film that I can understand how some movie watchers might enjoy it and some others won't. This isn't a movie that has a lot of meat and dialogue when it comes to the story. Instead it's a tense film that takes place in space. With realistic physics, graphics, special effects and sound. Sure this are elements that critics bash on in films, but it does bring something new in a artistic way. Watching this film was like watching the movie ""Buried"" except I like this one better. The entire film is about astronauts trying to survive by coming back to Earth from space when something goes horribly wrong. The acting was also really good, although short George Clooney just fit right into this role. Some may say this film lacks substance and to a degree it does, but that isn't the focus of this film. Sure some films that focus only on special effects alone falters however this has something new and different to offer. When you have your eyes glued to the screen and actually kinda care what happens and actually has your attention as an audience all the way through. It's doing something right. 7.9/10",7 "I went on to watch the show cause of the good revies but Holy crap... It is so bad, the acting is terrible the characters is unlikable... I hated every second of it and 25 minutes felt like an hour... perhaps the show gets better but i doubt the acting will. YISCH!",1 "Marvel's recipe has run out. A good character like Dr. Strange faces his worst enemy: a bland story full of rehashes and with just a hint of originality. In short: a powerful sorcerer must face a witch traumatized by the loss of children she never had, while out of nowhere appears a girl who travels from universe to universe whose importance to the story is zero. Here the great protagonist is the trauma of wanting to be a mother and not being able to experience it in the reality that corresponds to us. Then a lot of things happen that involve death, destruction, the disappearance of universes, the appearance of fantastic creatures and all of that could have been resolved by going to the psychiatrist. On the other hand we have a tribute to Star Wars since a black traitor appears who in turn is supported by robots that look like C-3PO; Billy Dee Williams should be happy. The mental smallness of the characters is inconceivable: Dr. Strange cannot overcome his bad luck in love, the villain of the story should be in an insane asylum and her delusions do not support the movie and the young Latina is as transcendent as a zero . With few visual moments that catch the viewer (and a nice cameo by Bruce Campbell) Sam Raimi's work is just that of a craftsman who does his job but can't achieve anything wonderful with the lousy story of the film. The film is bad even though it holds up visually.",3 "It started out with promise. The main character may be wimpy but is somewhat amusing. Still can follow the plot with split personalities and unknown characters that pop in from the past. By episode 3, there are so many new characters introduced with little context and without understanding their motivation, that it just seems to turn into a big jumble. The action scenes almost seem thrown in to take our minds off the confusion. It is just not compelling enough for me to continue to watch.",4 Not sure how it won best picture. Wasn't even close to the best films I saw this year. Oscars need new judges last years was crap too.,5 "Season one was great, season two was reasonable, season three is just terrible. The level of writing is about the level of 3rd graders at best. It's just obnoxious that they try to pass this off as quality entertainment.",5 Literally this was the the worst movie i have ever seen.,1 First and second episode is too slow to get in. But now it gets exciting! It does reminds me of The Twilight Saga. It is a version with not only Vampires but demons and witches! The scene in different countries is gorgeous,8 "Entertaining fight scenes, amazing soundtrack and a great story so far (s1-2)",9 "Brilliant. Great cast, Alison Jones is goddess of casting. Genius acting. ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE, no joke. Seth Rogen is going to rise to the top very, very fast, the other teen actors (i.e. Jonah Hill) will also be getting guaranteed jobs after this film. He is a amazing actor and writer, he needs to start to direct. Movie does not beat around the bush at all, perfect representation of teenagers' life. If you haven't seen it, go see it now. Its worth every penny... Perfect movie to wrap up the summers' box office, a real true addition to the history of comedy films, Judd A. is going to be taking over the comedy world very soon. It truly is like American Graffiti of the 21st century!",10 "While I'm onboard with any spinoff in ""The Boys"" universe, this is not at all what I was expecting. Filled with tropes, cliches and an overall lackluster story (so far), it evokes a real sense of disappointment. I understand this show was geared towards a younger audience especially given the R rating of The Boys, but it's just not a combination that works. On top of all of that, I feel like they're intentionally alienating their key demographic by once again falling into the over-feminization trap of Hollywood. The numbers don't lie, this route never works in favor of the show and it sucks that this is the fate of this wonderfully established world.",4 "This is horror done right, the acting, the story, everything worked here. The cast all did an amazing job, the emotional rollercoaster hit all the right notes. You really feel their pain and fear. This is not just a horror movie, it is so much more. It explores grief and loss. The grief of a daughter who lost her mother to suicide, the sorrow of a husband and father who is left to wonder why his wife took her own life. While there are some bloody scenes, they are not gratuitous or done merely for shock value, While the teens are portrayed as dumb party people, they all have a depth to them that is explored well here, they are not just there for a body count. This is a movie that should been watched by everyone who loves intelligent, well made horror movies.",10 "This show is not for the narrow-minded. Its funny and actually quite spooky. People won't like it because it doesn't have superheroes flying about with big SFX explosions. Its world building and its actually a spooky world - how did they get there, they don't seem to know... Give it a chance, stop hating because you're not open to new things, it's supposed to be a reenactment of old 50s/60s sitcoms as they show the perfect life, which is what they are living right now, but not all is as it seems, ""the devil is in the detail"".",7 "I've never written a review before, but this series was so disappointing I thought it warranted one. Do not watch this if you read the Stephen King Book. They rush through the first half of the book then go completely go off base until the end. If you haven't read the book and don't care about maintaining King's masterful storytelling, then go ahead and watch it. Maybe you'll find it entertaining",5 "Good movie overall, but way to Hollywoody. This movie was ruined as usual with all the Hollywood style action movie crap. Again, I see this movie over-rated by all of us here in America who are just focused on what Hollywood (an American Product) gives us. Sad to say that way better movies will be overshadowed by this pop culture hungry society. Nice to see though the entire cast of Damages again.... They should have included Glenn Close in this movie. It would have given it a psycho element that would have made it much more interesting. Hope that it does not win an Oscar.",5 "It's a great comedy hands down. Unfortunately it's a Stupid superhero movie. Way too childish and dull, every character is stupid AF.. They spent way too much time on jokes and less time on plot and Character development.. Overall I'm disappointed..",6 "Movie was awesome. every thing was there which make you stick to seat. Good combination of drama, suspense & thrill. Movie is really based on true incidents. I would give 8 stars to this movie. Dialogue delivery was great. Actinng of actors is really good especially Anupam Kher and Jimmy Shergill. A bit of romance is added. Kajal's role is too less. Kajal is looking very beautiful but not as beautiful as in Singham. Mind of Akshay Kumar's role is really admirable. Akshay Kumar's quick reaction is good. This Movie lacks only one thing that is action. A very little action is added that too cant be called as action. A little action must be added to make it more interesting. Overall you can go to have a good weekend. I would prefer to say go and watch it.",9 "Expats, on Amazon Prime, is a six-episode miniseries that gains intensity as it progresses. Magnificently shot, with framing and chromaticism that contribute to the emotional climate. Sober soundtrack with some highlights of recognizable hits and memorable covers. Believable and well-acted characters (overcoming surgeries). Set in a multiethnic and multicultural Hong Kong, as dynamic as it is oppressive. With a few characters it is possible to show the entire social spectrum and their respective problems. With a few events a solid and exciting story is built that ends up linking them with a common denominator: children. Those who are lost, those who do not have, those who have, those who arrive undesired. And because they are inseparable from them, it also portrays the parents. Motherhood and fatherhood are painted from a few basic colors whose mixtures generate infinite nuances. There are no judgments or sentences, only facts, attitudes and decisions of the characters that leave any evaluation to our discretion. The ascending race of emotion of the chapters lands in a masterful sixth episode, with an extraordinary montage, which cannot wait after the magnificent fifth.",10 "What else is there to be said about 12 years a slave that hasn't been said already? Great direction, great performances, great story (it is to be argued how true). It's interesting that most of the roles are played by non-American actors. Hell, even the director is British. The injustice of this story is heartbreaking to say the least. The quality of this picture is undeniable. One could argue that it's one of many to come as part of Hollywood's atonement series for America's sins of the past, but it's not important why it's been made and why it came at that exact moment in time. It should've been done a long time ago. 8.1/10",8 "Not knowing much about the actual events that took place, this was a harrowing look into our dark history as people and done in such a cinematic way. The cinematography is top notch and it is something that will stick with me for a while.",9 So you're telling me this was the best of that year right Oscar really .one my frd always said he loves this so I decided to check it out to be honest I'm disappointed it was Medicare at best .no particular performance is grt in the movie there are 3 to 4 moments which are grt and thrilling but that's it nothing much,3 "I was at my friends place one day back in 2000. His girl friend now wife was reading was reading a book and I asked what it was. She said it was harry potter. I was like whom? She had this amazed look like you don't know who harry is. Needles to say I was talked into going to see what all the fuss is about with this harry kid. Let's just say I was hooked when I left the theater. The deathly hallow didn't disappoint in this action adventure fantasy with Harry (Daniel Radcliff) and his friends, Hermione Jean Granger (Emma Watson), and Ron Wesley (Rupert Grint). The deathly hallows picks up with adventure of harry and his friends trying to finish professor Dumbledore's work with conquering the evil dark lord voldemort's.They are in search of the Gacrux's special amulets that can drain the dark lord of his power and destroy him. The kid's receive items that were left for them by professor Dumbledore,and went on a journey with these items to find the horcruxes. In their travel's to find the horcruxes they discover clues hidden in the items they were left to them by professor Dumbledore's will. They did manage to add some funny scenes they have this potion that they can change into anyone they want they just have to take a piece of that persons hair. When they were attack at a wedding they had to take off. When they took off they ended up in England. Hermione had this little purse; it looked like 12 inches by 12 inches. Hermione would pull out a change clothes for all 3 of them, and when they were in the wilderness she pulled out 6 or 12 mantent. Throughout their travels they keep running into people the dark lord voldemort's sent to capture them.It makes for some exciting scenes in their quest to conquer the dark lord.Like how they bring together the cast from the other films to tie everything tighter. Ralph fines looks very comfortable in his role as the evil (dark lord voldemort) I enjoyed the use of the special effects from the evil wizards changing to the kid drinking a potion to change how they look. The talk about a familiar face dying happens in this chapter hmmm..lol.I left the movie saying I can't wait til the final chapter. I give Harry potter 3 stars. Would I go Yes",8 "The most entertaining thing about this series are these reviews. Most of the reviewers here write better and are funnier. The one star ratings are very accurate and I totally agree that the 10star ratings are bought (and bizarrely written in similar fashions). My advice to MCU fans is watch the first 3 episodes anyway because like me, as a huge fan of the comics (when I was a kid) and the movies, you will anyway. Then you will see how bad these episodes are. Yes we could review each episode but I think even halfway through the 6 episode series, we are entitled to our opinion on the way this is going. This series will never recover. Totally agree that Tom H is a great actor, so is Owen W, but the rest aren't. Come on Mr Feige, get a grip and take back control, because I suspect they took that away from you!",1 "If you like violent, what really can represent the real life things, you gonna understand why it's in this movie. Why people talk negative about sex ? it's not bdsm etc like in 49 shadows of gray, this is RED SPARROW - the whole point of this organization is about sex, spy and manipulation. And you can see a real things what possible was before,may be even now. It's very realistic movie ! I can believe in it, only because of what 10/10. It's not fantastic, it's not mission impossible. It's interesting story as a true as a life of cold war spy !",10 "Inspite of a few anti -religious dialogues this is a high class crime,drama .Hats off to Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane . Brilliant acting by the entire cast and Nawaz ...you are just great !! I liked the way suspense is mantained right through and a perfect stage is set for ssn 2 . I think this is a must watch for those who want to see quality stuff ..",8 "I enjoy all of the episodes, but some seasons are a little much. This last season, 6. They try to make the main character (Chloe Bennet) blonde. It's kinda like taking a ginger and making them brunette. It doesn't work. Chloe is the perfect example of brunette beauty. If you want to bring a blonde into the mix do that, but leave chloe's hair alone.",9 "To take 5 months (10 Dec -8 April) to play the last half (8 Ep) of this shows first season is a slap in the face to the viewers who would like to see the end before they die. We live in the 21st Century where media is available at our whim and binging on a series is the norm, waiting for an episode to come out every week is hard enough let alone the spotty drip feed that they have been serving up. The show itself is definitely not up to Joss Whedon's normally very high standards of performance. It started a bit low and has only gone down, with the wait for the later episodes draining me of any real desire to continue watching it to the end.",7 "Thirteen Reasons why I think is interesting because first a girl commits suicide, and then she sends tapes to make people actually think about what they are doing. I think it also is a message to people to actually watch what you say and do to others because we don't need people hurting themselves. The story is told in the perspective of Clay, but the problem is mainly about Hannah, I think that's unique. I also love that you can tell if you are in a flashback because of Clays cut on his head from falling off his bike.",7 The writing seems to be quickly written. But the editing - damn it's bad.,4 "I have to say, I was somewhat sceptical about this one. But a friend recommended it to me and I started watching. And boy, oh boy, was I in for a surprise. The first scene with A-Train got me really glued to the TV and I couldn't wait to see more. The plot really well written and the idea behind the show really came to life. I have to be honest, I have never seen a show like this one. Every action had a reason and you could relate to why the characters were doing, what they were doing. I liked every single episode. So far, that I binge-watched the entire first season. But theeen... came season two. Somehow they lost it. I don't know if they picked up other writers, or whatever happened, but the series lost its soul. Funny to say that, since some of the characters were actually ""finding their soul"" through religion. The plot was dragging along and I could litteraly see every single ""plot twist"" and ""surprise moment"" coming from miles away. And the characters felt like they stagnated in one place and they themselves didn't know, what was coming next. They did try to mix it up with some provocative topics, but they just fell flat on the ground and never got up again. The performances of some actors were really great. Especially Antnoy Starr (Homelander). He really carries this entire series. Sadly they lost Elisabeth Shue (Madelyn Stillwell). I think she was one of those, who stood out. The other ones are kinda flat and undeveloped characters. I really hope season 3 will be better, because it would be a shame if this show goes down as one of those, that could've been great but didn't live up to its potential.",7 "Today I was thinking about when I watched 13 reasons why. The first season is i guess fine though it is a bit morally bankrupt, it's pretty boring and average though. Kinda subpar acting. I'd probably give the first season a low 5/10. But uh, every other season is absolutely awful. It's worse that this is aimed towards children. It's absolutely ridiculous what this does. I cannot understand how this got renewed for 3 more seasons, like the first wasn't that great. The second season is terrible, the third season is awful, the fourth season is just insane. What was executive producer Selena Gomez thinking man. Disgusting show. If you're interested in watching this, the first season is the only one you should watch. The 2-4th season are horrendous and egregious. I can't imagine ever recommending even the first season, I guess you might like it more, I dunno. Probably dont touch this absolutely morally bankrupt boring garbage with disgusting writing. High 1/10.",1 "This series had potential since it featured vampires, witches, and demons. You could certainly buy into that if you heard that initial pitch. But like everything, it all hinges on execution and this fails so, so badly there. Let's cut to the chase, this is an idealized, femme fantasy love story, and it's so cliché. As a dude, how I made it through all 8 episodes is a testament to my tolerance and workplace diversity training, but god was it a chore to watch. Something good to say? Teresa Palmer (""Diana Bishop"") is a Charlize Theron look-alike, but she significantly trails in acting talent. The production values were decent but sorely lacking in VFX, the few of which mainly show in later episodes. I liked that there was suspense build-up music but didn't like that it ALWAYS failed to pay off. You expect to see vampires bite, and witches do witchcraft - and that happens - but the demons got short shrift, there was absolutely no demon play at all, unforgiveable. There were all kinds of plausibility problems as you can imagine with such a low budget in evidence, but when you've vampires that claim to be 1,500 years old then you expect so much more to be revealed about their expanse of knowledge, experience, and accumulated wealth. Instead, they seem fairly grounded in the present with little reference to past centuries. Then there are blatant inconsistencies like when it's claimed that vampires don't need sleep like we do then proceed to sleep so soundly they don't hear their mate get out of bed, probably stumble over things, get dressed, probably knock things over, and leave the room, just stupid. Finally, there's the SJW factor, too, where our protagonist is a champion of progressive rights for vampires, witches, and demons and an outspoken critic of biases against their intermingling and the traditional values that support such biases. Yeh, we're still being lectured, now it's by Sky One instead of Hollywood, ugh. The show has been recently renewed for a second and third season which is great for its demographic of teen girls and those in the LGBTQ community, but those like me will have moved on to other fare.",3 URI had invoked expectations. Unfortunately that has been belied.You went in to see an amazing operation conducted by the INDIAN ARMY only to find the whole operation being masterminded by NSA advisor Ajit Doval played by PARESH RAWAL.The top brass of the Army has been almost ignored.The entire operation is executed by a Major played by VICKY KAUSHAL and planned by PARESH.There are other characters which are incidental like Yami Gautam and Kriti kulhari and Mohit Raina who have all been wasted.Vicky KAUSHAL who has so far been superlative fails you somewhere.The camera work too is somewhere not up to the mark and so is the music.But the main culprit is the screenplay and direction which is at best mediocre. If you want to watch movies in this genre watch Argo and Zero dark thirty. You will realize the difference..,9 "I've been disappointed with films before, but Dunkirk will top that list for a while. The movie is boring. Apart from a few spitfire scenes that are well done, this movie lacks any real imagination. The most glaring problem with the film is the story. Nolan fails to truly capture anything worth telling. Instead pulling the audience in with character development, he relies on the history of the moment. You won't care one bit about a single character. Either we're to believe that the English have the stiffest of upper lips in times of great harm, or these duds would't realize true danger even if it set them on fire first. There are many great moments in Dunkirk history Nolan could have built a story around. But he chose to try to tell everything about Dunkirk in a discombobulated manner, filled with pensive staring, unintelligible dialogue, and a roaring soundtrack. And even for the passive WWII history reader, this will stink of mistakes and inaccuracies. I cannot recommend this film. Wait for the DVD or prime cable viewing.",5 "I was recently able to watch the first two seasons of Daredevil and I have to say that I am absolutely speechless! Being a DC fan , Daredevil is one of the few things that I liked in Marvel. The 2003 Daredevil movie with Ben Afflick was a disappointment for me and didn't live up to my expectations. This Daredevil TV show is not only the best superhero TV show out there but also one of the best things Marvel has done lately. The first season introduces Matt Murdock a lawyer by profession , in this dark and gritty city filled with crime and he tries to stop this by being a vigilante at night. This show blew me away with a strong script, great cinematography and powerful performances. The action scenes have some of the most realistic fight scenes ever seen in and it'll leave you wanting for more. Charlie Cox as Daredevil is brilliant and Elden Henson (Foggy) along with Deborah Ann Woll (Karen) are fantastic and provide great characters and story lines of their own. But the standout performance among the cast is undoubtedly Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin who does a great performance giving a sense of humanity to his role but also becoming a menacing and an intimidating character at the same time.He clearly the highlight of the season for me. This season had perfectly set up the series providing a dark and engaging atmosphere and giving justice to the comic book readers as well as non readers alike. The second season had a lot to live up to ,considering the immense success and popularity of the first season. But still, this season was amazing . They got better everything season 1 was known for. The cinematography , the story , the screenplay and great casting choices like Jon Bernthal as Punisher who was fantastic in his role and Elodie Yung as Elektra who was also great ,gave more depth to the series and was better than the previous. The relationships between the trio was established greater and gave more complexity to each character. The fight scenes ( especially the stairwell one) will remain as some of the most well- done action scenes of all time. The first four episodes itself made it much better than season 1 giving the best introduction and portrayal of The Punisher we have ever seen. Hopefully, he'll get a TV series of his own.It was great to see these too men with different agendas but fighting for the same thing going at each other. I felt like towards the end of the season there was some problems with the consistency of the plot. Other than that , this series is perfect in almost every way. This is as show with a compelling and engaging story lines and is a must watch for all. Can't Wait for Season 3!",9 "I confess I had some curiosity and some expectations when I went to see this movie. Scorcese and Di Caprio are two of the biggest names in the current film scene, and both have provided us with some nice films. So I wasn't surprised with the fuss around the movie but, when I saw it, I was very disappointed. The film is based on an autobiographical book written by Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker who quickly enriched, through financial maneuvers of high risk and zero legality. The book describes not only the business but the life of luxury, drugs and sex that he took, and the way he eventually paid for it. The film, as far as we understand, is quite faithful to the book's account, and the book also makes an apparently true story. The film resembles ""Goodfellas"" in many ways, but with great differences in which the gangster movie gets the better of it. The main problem of this film lies in three essential points: The first point is the apparent glorification of the fraud and Belfort's dissolute lifestyle. The message passed by the film is ""crime pays"". It spends more than an hour telling us, in detail, the outrages of Belfort and his team of bastards without any need, shocking some public, who leave the cinema with the feeling that the film passes an ethically wrong message, and society does not need to receive it because it receives enough bad influences. The second essential point is the absence of a counterpoint to the scenes of excesses shown. Okay, Belfort is a swine, drug addict and corrupt who has gotten rich too fast and too easy. So? Where is the counterpoint to that? He committed crimes, but what are the effects of his crimes? Who lost out on Belfort's crimes? How can audiences truly realize the size of his mistakes? The public never gets these answers because the film gets too lost in the details of Belfort's scandals. The movie makes people think that Belfort never harmed anyone, and that he was just crazy, or smart. The third negative point is the construction of the characters. They are black-and-white, without the psychological complexity and refinement that we find in ""Goodfellas"", for example. There's no such thing here. The characters are summed up as junkies, sex offenders, eccentrics, some bored cops and little else. DiCaprio was well enough in his role, but being such an abject role, it's impossible to like and enjoy his performance. I think Scorcese thought this film as a comedy, but the truth is that it is not funny. The film is morally shocking, not funny. So, it was a bad idea. This film would have been excellent if it had been conceived as a drama and had behind it some moral balance. That was not the case. It is a mad journey through senseless immorality, without notion and without any pretext than easy laughter, and this is quite unpleasant.",2 "Not sure what they were trying to accomplish with this, but it is just utter filth from top to bottom. Every single character is a either a sociopath or a psychopath. If you even remotely like this show, even just a little bit, you are in need of serious life coaching or something. I'm not saying that to be funny or .... whatever.... you really need to do something to change your life.",1 Mediocre minds may have difficulty following the plot due to a few too many flashbacks and flashforwards. Luckily anyone with an IQ over 100 will have no issues understanding the timeline. I have the Witcher 3 and haven't played it and have never read a solitary book in the series. That said I never felt lost or at a disadvantage for only watching the show.,9 "The film based on a true story improves on it. The story is improved, the acting and special effects are great, the hero actor is great on the court. Very well done.",7 "Agatha Christie eat your heart out. If you liked Knives Out I think you will love this even more. It develops the character of Benoit Blanc even more as well as developing all the new ones. But, somehow, this works better than its predecessor, possibly due to the island setting and more enclosed, confined treatment. All the setups pay off. The script is tight. The plot just contrived enough still maintains your interest. All the acting is excellent and I for one will be looking forward to the next Knives out episode. All the setups pay off. The script is tight. The plot just contrived enough still maintains your interest.

The story is about a world ruled by four nations and they're all named by the four elements Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. In these nations are special people who can ""bend"" the elements. However every generation there is one person who can control all four elements called the Avatar. Its his job to keep peace and harmony among the nations, but, when the Fire Nation wages war on the other nations he disappears. A hundred years later in the South Pole a boy trying to become a warrior named Sokka and his sister who's trying to become a master waterbender find a boy in an iceberg. When they get him out they find out he's the next Avatar and the last of the airbenders. Since then they have to travel the world to teach Aang all of the elements and find someway to end this hundred year war while he also deals with the fact that he being a boy of 12 has to save the world. The shows animation is beautiful while its action sequences are practically breath-taking. And the characters are also charming in great ways. It is very easy to fall for them, with their charm, wit, and giving refreshing comedy to the show makes it impossible to not care for them at all. Even the back-stories are fun. We dive into the characters lives and find out what they've been through while also finding new emotional levels to connect the audience with the characters. Another element in the show I enjoyed was that Aang is constantly at war with himself. He wants to be a normal boy but he knows he's the only person who can stop the Fire Nation. Throughout the show he starts doubting himself and begins to question whether or not he can do it. And that helps keep up the drama and makes it all the more fun to watch as he struggles with this reality. I found this show fun and suspenseful thanks to the great action sequences. The story is original and never boring. This show will keep people entertained for many years.",10 "I feel if it weren't marvel I would rated this show lower. The character haves a split personality and ability similar to the movie split, which gives him crazy combat skills. But at times it's contradicting in his normal or sane state he can also jump like super hero and when his in advance stage he forget how to fight. The story starts off good then it starts hurting my mind.",7 "Characters without depth, absurd situations that do not contribute anything to the plot, the direction of Sam Mendes is far from other of his acclaimed films. An horrible bad version of ""saving private ryan""",1 "I was lucky enough to see an early screening of this movie. From the opening scene till the final battle, I was completely blown away. First off I'm gonna start by talking about the performances.This is the best acting we've seen in the MCU hands down. To highlight a few, Robert Downey Junior gives a Tony Stark a more personal side that we have yet to completely see if him. Chadwick Boseman and Tom Holland are both perfectly casted as Black Panther and Spider-Man respectively. The action was great. The relationships that these characters have built over the course of several movies creates a new level of complexity that makes these fight sequences more emotional and powerful. The Airport Battle is the best action scene in the MCU and is rivaled only by the Quicksilver scene from DOFP. The final thing I have to say about what made this movie so damn good, was the fact that all of the events in this movie are permanent and will have a long lasting impact. The only complaint I've had with the MCU is the fact that most of the events in their movies are resolved by the climax and there is no lasting impact on future films. While no future films have come out at the time I've written this review, it still seems safe to say that the events in this movie will have a permanent effect on the rest of the MCU. It is rare that I go into a movie with this high of expectations and i leave the theater completely blown away. 10/10 Great Movie",9 "I have never seen any other Lost In Space but this one so therefore my review is honest and unbiased. Though I have seen images of the first Lost and Space and when comparing them to the 2018 one there is a huge HUGE step up obviously. The CGI is nothing special yet it's very good. However, the acting is outright TERRIBLE. I was expecting a little more from Molly Parker as she did very well in House Of Cards. Dr Smith, played by Parker Posey is the only one with good acting skills. The rest of them are absolutely trash, especially Mina Sundwall and Max Jenkins. Second, the script is horrific and cheesy and cringeworthy. Like seriously? A 5 year old could have written that. Overall the show is not that interesting and nothing super special.",1 "I wish I could do justice to this series in this one short review; however I can't find a way to describe the emotions I felt whilst watching this beautiful piece of film. The characters are thoroughly relatable and I truly adore them both, Marianne's emotional and physical responses to the turmoil she faced struck a cord with me and left me questioning aspects of my own life. I would wholeheartedly recommend this series to anyone and everyone, there are a lot of lessons to be learnt, and a lot of beautiful moments that will linger in your mind for some time after you have finished watching :)",8 "Gripping and tense throughout and it's a nice change to actually be unsure of whether the main characters are in serious peril. I also liked the fact that the show does such a good job of keeping you thinking about how the conspiracy is playing out and gives you numerous characters to suspect. The show lost a couple of stars as I found some of the acting particularly wooden, David's wife being one of the main offenders but also on occasion the other investigating officers. Madden and Hades were both fantastic even if I consider Madden to be a little young looking for the role.",8 "I like spaghetti westerns, I like Leone and Corbucci, and many films from 60's and 70's. I know what Tarantino wanted to show. The cast is great, but this movie is bad. The worst that Tarantino ever done. I was waiting something along all the movie and I was finally disappointed. Missing argument.",4 "If you ask me for a rate for season one definitely will be a 10, Kevin Bacon was so great actor and his character development was amazing. All the episodes was very interested and I enjoyed all the entire hour seeing them. You can have a trip with each character and each situation and understood, right He-she could be me and probably I will make the same choice if I'm in their place. There is no villain or good one, just humans trip into real life. This Season 2 started well, but as the episodes come 2-4) the Kevin Bacon Character (Jakie) is fallen into a cliche villain without a soul. With no purpose. The best in the show was him, and now he is nothing in the story. I'm not anxiously waiting for the next episode anymore.",7 "Kung fu producer, director, writer and star Stephen Chow brings a stylized and exaggerated element to ""Kung Fu Hustle"" that undoubtedly reaches out to a Western audience. The film is an homage to decades of kung fu movie history but it embraces CGI and moves beyond traditional fight choreography. In the film a wannabe Chinese gangster played by Chow gets the slum where he lives in trouble with the notorious Axe Gang (think the ""Kill Bill"" Crazy 88s with hatchets) by posing as an Axe Gang member. To fend off the Axe Gang, several villagers from the slum turn out to be kung fu masters, even the fat landlady and her bumbling husband. The Axe Gang retaliates by hiring seasoned killers to take them out. ""Kung Fu Hustle"" is comical and action heavy, often times even comically action-heavy. It isn't violent in the ""Kill Bill"" sense, but nearly in the cartoonish sense, with characters chasing each other and their legs gyrating like the Roadrunner. Chow brings that cheesy '70s kung- fu sense of humor and mixes it in with the special effects martial arts of today's era. There's as much slow motion fighting as you'll see in ""The Matrix"" trilogy. Chow is a good director, bringing a variety of skills as both an action and comedy director. He knows how to balance the two to amusing effect. He knows how to surprise us with comedic timing but also exactly what makes us think ""ooh, cool."" Instead of gore, he manages the effect of gruesome violence without showing it by great set up and then cutting away at the last second. Sometimes the style is too forced or the humor too cheesy, but this is a very unique action movie with silly characters from the kung fu tradition, not the glamorous look of films such as ""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,"" and ""Hero."" This is one of those action movies with misfits, not serious heroes with something to prove. Though Chow has yet to follow up ""Kung Fu Hustle,"" he might be talented enough to bridge the Western world with the art of the Chinese (not American) kung fu movie in a way that hasn't been done since Bruce Lee, praying on our love for stylish and glitzy action. With a better budget, the CGI could be done to better effect and even the stunts too.",7 I can't wait for season 2! After watching one eppisode i watched the whole season. Especially the love between diana and him. This is one of my favorite series thanks!👍,10 "I mean something happens to people who look at the sky that causes them to kill themselves. That's it. That's the plot. So Sandra Bullock makes a journey with two kids to a place which she heard is safe. Nothing else. There is no reason given why things are happening or a sense of an ending. It seems like a Damien Lindeloff movie. And don't believe Stephen King. For some reason studios like asking Stephen King if their movie is scary and he always says yes. I don't know what's wrong with the guy. And it looks like all the good reviews are written by Netflix employees. I hear they tell their employees to write good reviews online.",1 "Di Caprio was really great, but what is this film? Is this all just for saying the human being sucks with our foolish way to separate each other? It could be filmed in a garage and if any college student made it people would say that the movie was horrible. Shamefull movie....",2 This could have been great. With a cast like this. But Daniel Craig with a southern accent is just wrecking it like a bad smell in an elevator. The rest is doing a proper job and the twist and turns of the story is alright. But not more than that. Can't say that the visual presentation is of any high level either. Sound and music? No. Can't say that it left me with anything to add in its favour.,5 "I'm glad Short Round can still find work, and maybe Indiana Jones could have added some sense to this, but a bad take off of Buckaroo Banzai that runs 2&1/2 hours isn't great cinema. It was like a low budget Jackie Chan remake of '2001 a Space Odyssee' and they never leave the planet, do more emotional quarreling than kung fu fighting, leaving the ending needing a space baby to hug and instead you get a bagel, with no cream cheese. After reading all of the rave reviews about this movie and finally watching it I started to believe in alternative universes and suspect I must be living in one because 'Big Trouble in Little China' deserved an Academy Award before this turkey.",2 "The story is actually very short, but the producers extend it into a near 2-hour movie. You'll see the struggle of many people trying to leave Dunkirk with very few interactions between the characters. The acting of each character is just average. There's no real star performances. Most importantly, the essence of the story is just plain and simple. Everything is just predictable and the action scenes are just average at best. I kind of felt very sleepy from the middle of the movie. The only thing that make people give this a high rating is because they are all hypnotized by the sound effect. Google it and find out that the sound effect they used, really does have a psychological effect on its viewers. It keeps them intense throughout the entire movie. So guys, it's NOT a good movie, but a proved fantastic hypnotizing mechanism.",1 "Highly Overrated. TVF has given alot of excellent series, this is not one of them. Waste of time.",1 "This is what a good summer movie should be. Spider-Man 2 transcends the boundaries of being just another comic book movie to being a richly character driven movie with a very conflicted hero. Here, for the first time, we see the actual emotion behind the facade of the hero behind the mask. Gone is the richly colorful look of the first part, here in Spider-Man 2, we are plunged into a world of shadows and off colors. Picking up two years after the first Spider-Man left off, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) has his hands full with three full-time jobs. He is going to school full time, he is working full time to pay off his rent, and he is a hero always on call whenever he hears a siren. Not to mention, we see the emotional toll that has been taken on him, his only surviving family member, his Aunt May (Rosemary Harris), has become consumed with grief and loss over the death of her husband (incidentally, creating Spider-Man in the first part), Peter's friend Norman Osborne (James Franco) is now at odds with him since he has become consumed with revenge over Spider-Man killing his father (the Green Goblin), and his love affair with Mary Jane-Watson (Kirsten Dunst) is slowly being extinguished because he is never there for her to return the feelings she has for him. And this is all in the first fifteen minutes of the film. As Spider-Man, Parker is even in danger of losing his powers as his exhaustion slowly begins to take over. Is it medical or is it because he has stretched himself too thin? Eventually, Peter decides to give up being Spider-Man to finally bring peace into his life. There is a brilliant sequence in this film when we see Parker returning to his alter-ego from the first part before the mutated spider bite as he puts on his glasses again, clouding his vision to the world around him. When he sees someone being beaten up in an alley, he turns around to walk away. When the familiar sirens fly past him again, he just eats a hot dog. In short, Parker has finally succumbed to being a New Yorker. In the midst of all of this, we see the creation of a new villain, this time in the form of a deranged scientist named Doctor Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), who has four frighteningly powerful arms welded to his spine after a disaster with his life's work. This disaster not only turns the Doctor into Dr. Octopus (Doc Ock as the papers call him), but the artificially intelligent arms seemed fuse to his id, placating his desires to not want his life's work to be a failure. Doc Ock will try again at the expense of anyone around him. The standout here is Tobey Maguire, who can convey the film's entire heart with a look or a gesture, but is most heart-wrenchingly done in his hesitations. For a man so used to having quick reflexes, when he has to slow down and realize what is going on around him, we are instantly in his head. Maguire also has to command the screen as Spider-Man and convince the audience that he can stand up to someone like Octavius and not seem fantastic. Sam Raimi also does a knock-out job as well, knowing when to hold on a character's face long enough or swinging the camera along with Spider-Man to give the audience the exhilaration of flight. Raimi is more than competent enough to give this movie the look and feel of a moving comic book and by utilizing his most signature camera shot (zooming into and out of the character's eyes), the audience is invited to live for a moment in the tights of a superhero. Spider-Man 2 has so many great messages to be heard in this film, the best of which seems to draw both Peter and Octavius together in the end: In order for the right thing to be done, does it mean that we have to put away what we want the most? In both cases, there are some strong arguments and that is what makes this movie such a surprise is the depth that it possesses. Seemingly, we have entered the bizarro world of sequels, where they seem to surpass the original (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Toy Story 2, etc) and Spider-Man 2 definitely joins these ranks. Perhaps in allowing a series to expand rather than compliment the original, we can expect more depth out of movies, which has been as equally absent in this day and age as heroes as Spider-Man 2 also suggests.",10 "Weak story. HORRIBLE accent. Hollywood is able to make any living being speak in English, so why the hell use this accent that gets on your nerve. I consider this the weakest MCU movie.",2 "This might be the finest and most cohesive storytelling to ever reach the big screen. The godfather part 2 is what you normally call a long movie. However, every second has a purpose, every breath has power behind it and everything ties together something that might be one of the absolute best movies of all time. It is a long time since Iast watched part 1 now but I think this is better. To have a mixture of breathtaking cinematography, unheard of acting and one of the best scrips ever made is something very rare. Only a handful of films has managed to have all these elements, and only this has it to that extreme. I think you know why this is breathtaking in every way, and if you are yet to see it I can't recommend it enough. This may not be my all time favourite, but I truly believe that from a technical and critical standpoint, this is a flawless story that can never be recreated.",10 "I was very interested in this show during the first season. Second season was kind of all over the place. And then the third season, I couldn't even make it past the first episode. The ratings went way down, and I'm not sure if the writers tried to hard to continue making it interesting or what. I recommend watching the first season or two, because this show really does contain some powerful messages and some heartbreaking truths. But i wouldn't watch past season 2.",2 "The Godfather: Part II came out in 1974 with incredible hype, but when it first was released it was labeled a disappointment. Only a few months later, however, it could be heard among many a debate that this movie was superior to the original. The plot is arguably even more intense and chilling and, unlike its predecessor, it tells two tales: one of how Michael Corleone tightens his grip on the criminal underworld in the late 1950s and another of the beginnings of his father, Vito, this time played by Robert De Niro to outstanding effect, and his business empire. It is this near-seamless change that propels The Godfather: Part II into the discussion of the greatest movies ever, where it belongs right there with the first. Al Pacino returns as Michael Corleone and this time plays him even better. On top of that, De Niro, in the role that made him famous, is sublime as Vito. While De Niro's performance is not as memorable as Marlon Brando's and his character not quite as endearing, it is still one of the highlights in the history of acting in the cinema. It's sad that when most people today think of De Niro it is for his performances in Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas, or, God forbid, 21st century comedies like Showtime or Analyze This. It's simply amazing that the Holy Trinity of modern American actors- Brando, Pacino, and De Niro, in that order- all were stars in the first two Godfather pictures, and the first two's careers are still highlighted by it. However, I do not find this film to be on the exact same level as the original for a variety of reasons. Make no mistake, this is an outstanding film in its own right, the best sequel ever, and the praise I could give it is very similar to the praise I give The Godfather for it's consistent brilliance and masterful direction. Never before have I seen a pair of films that are so beautifully orchestrated. But unlike its predecessor this movie has a couple flaws. The biggest one is with the Vito Corleone section. In the book, this part is detailed from Vito's birth right up to the events in the Godfather. However, here it only goes to about a Roosevelt administration away from the start of the events detailed in The Godfather. For someone who has only watched the movies this is a huge chunk of backstory that is missing. While Coppola chose to focus on the Don Fanucci part of Vito's epic tale, there is so much more of this brilliant story that is left untold. If an entire movie was centered around this, then the pace this story takes would be perfect. But this is but a part of The Godfather: Part II. You cannot tell two epics in one movie, and there is simply not enough time at this pace to cap off the story satisfyingly. The current model speaks nothing of the war that brought Don Corleone to power. Not only that, but literally EVERY SINGLE PERSON in this tale is Italian and speaks Italian. I understand how large Little Italy was at this time but are you telling me that Vito in his time does not meet one pure American? Is his life that secluded? Once again, I understand the message that Coppola is getting across just fine, the sense of unity and family the Italians have, much like the first one, but it's done less believably here. It's also a bit harder to relate to Italian dialect. The majority of my complaints lie on the Vito tale. The tale involving Michael Corleone is absolutely compelling. Emphasize that as much as possible. It's arguably more thought-provoking than its predecessor, and I would say it is more chilling, with a few parts that will absolutely make your jaw drop. That's one thing about the original, it did not have too many of those moments, but this movie has them in abundance. And not to mention Al Pacino makes these scenes come alive, he is just so fearsome and intimidating when provoked. However, surprisingly, many important plot mechanics of this movie are things you might not pick up your first time through. The major plot dynamic of the original was the transition between Vito Corleone as the Don of the Corleone family to Michael Corleone. In this movie the major mechanic is Michael's relationship with Fredo. It is this that represents the film's greatest intellectual stimulation and chill. Especially the ending, which is among the most haunting and memorable scenes you shall ever see, up there with the original's baptism. It has a bit more closure than that of its predecessor. Still, when I think of The Godfather, I think of Marlon Brando rasping out memorable lines, of Don Barzini falling down the steps, of Michael Corleone shooting Virgil Solozzo in a restaurant. It is only after this that I remember the famous aspects of The Godfather: Part II. The most likely reason for this is that it is a sequel, and we always remember what we saw first. Still, something about this movie is not quite as memorable. It lacks that extra something that made The Godfather so unique. Don't get me wrong, I love this movie. It certainly has better cinematography than the original, some of the best I've seen. But it is less than it's original: just barely, but still less. Somehow the plot is just not as large or alive, the scenes not as enjoyable. Don't take this out of context: this movie still has the magic. It has moral considerations and character depth just like the original, this time mostly about the damnation of Michael. Do not let comparisons distract you from the spectacle. 9.4. ""If one thing in life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it's that you can kill anybody.""",9 "As a fan of the original series, having grown up watching it (mostly in early 70's reruns) I was both hopeful and skeptical of this remake. Then I saw the cast, watched the first episode, and began to realize what I'd found. Now, after watching most of the existing episodes here is my take for what it's worth. You can tell they went all-in with the production. Stunning visuals both in space and planet-side. If great CGI and visual effects are enough for you then this is your sci-fi series. Acting as well, another area where they did not hold back from drawing from the talent pool. It is in these ways that the new series does the original honor. The music score, although impressive, is a might overdone sound leveling-wise. When the action sequences hit, and they hit often, at times with rapid-fire succession, the sound levels spike so radically I advise viewers keep one hand on the remote at all times. You'll want to adjust the sound on the fly for this reason. And of course when things quieten down it's often difficult to hear what the characters are whispering about even with volume levels turned way up. The sound, music, effects, etc, are thus a roller coaster of annoyance. As for plot, overall it's a great story, one loosely based around the original so it is in all but can't miss territory. Except the writing here doesn't back that up. The plot is riddled with holes, some big, some tiny, but they annoy after a while. The writers were lazy in spots, not thinking things through or even researching math or conventional scientific wisdom before having the characters go ahead and look foolish. One can only overlook or chalk things up to ""Hey, it's science fiction, not science face"" so often until a show starts to lose the integrity of its cred. Basic inevitability must be there on some level. This version of the Family Robinson is well-crafted though, and well-acted. The characters are likable each in their own way, and it's possible for viewers and fans of the original to become invested. If you can manage to overlook all of its shortcomings and just take it for what it is and enjoy the ride you'll be able to stick with it, as I have. I gave it a 7, plus 1 for doing a fair amount of honor to the venerable original. 8/10 With a bit more effort in the writing department this could easily have been a 10.",8 "I truly enjoy the homage, reference, and satire of the real world, and how this show not holds back at all. However, its plot is not strong and borderlines cliche.",8 "I was hooked with episode 1.. the way they setup the show and cinematography is top notch with symbolism. but after a while u get it ..its super pretentious and acting by lead actors are super bad. love stories are so cliched and fake .. u really never buy into any of it. i dont mind slow shows .. i loved twin peaks and other shows that are extremely slow but this show has some super bad dialogs and horrible acting. u never get the feeling anyone of it could happen coz u never buy into the lead characters. u never buy into lily love triangle.. u never get why the scientist chick buys into devs development coz steve jobs guy lost his family in a car accident. more u watch more u stop caring about any of it and want to just know what happened in the ending in devs lab. i will watch the season finale coz i invested time in watching all these episodes like a chore.. but i would not recommend this show to anyone (unless finale blows my mind .. but i highly doubt that)",6 "I like good sci fi movies. This is not a good one. The plot was predictable. There was nothing unexpected. There is constant violence at every dream level. Why does every dream have to be about running from an army of thoughtless killers or assaulting a heavily defended alpine military outpost for no apparent reason? The 'architect' has little direct and obvious impact. She really was just a counselor for the star, or just wanted to throw in a 'pretty face' for the obvious and demeaning task of window dressing. They should have had her kick some butt if they were going to have a 2 hour gun battle. The special effects were far from spectacular. The star cast is great and they did what they could with what little they were given. They could not overcome the weaknesses.",3 "You must have heard the raves...""the best Sequel of all time"", well, Star Wars Fans may disagree but it is a valid argument. This surpasses a Great Film with an even greater Film. It is certainly broader in Scope and even more lavish in its Production. The Flashback New York Scenes are a standout. This one moves quite a bit faster than the original because it has much more to say. It says it and then some. Michael's descent into internal Madness is not a pretty sight and the Inheritor to all that is Corleone becomes a very unlikable Tyrant and shows virtually no signs of Humanity as the Modernity of events that take place have no place for that sort of thing.",10 "First of this show was so terrible that i refuse to ever again spend any money on anything produced or related to HBO. They had a good plot given from the game last of us to follow. They of course chose not to follow the plot of the game and instead followed the path of a soap opera. The season consist of a merely 9 episodes and even though they have so little time to span the show on they achieve 3 filler episodes that is completely useless for the plot. When it comes to zombies there barely is any. We see a lot of montages of abandoned cities and roads. But with a very sterotypical setting where the tall buildings are gray and sliced at the top. Where the cars are all broken down but convenionently always placed at the side of the road so that our main characters can drive through with ease. Most of the characters are unlikeable especially Ellie that in this show is an arrogant tomboy. Joel is for the majority of the show very dry. Rest of the characters very one dimensional. The major problem with this show is that is was boring. There didn't really happen anything except a lot of talking, walking and watching. In several episodes you didn't even get to see any infected/zombies. You didn't even get to see any bodies of infected lying around past episode 2 and there is 9 episodes... This show was a huge dissapointment. I really didn't think it would be possible for HBO to use so much money for a zombie show that barely contained zombies. All it consisted of was boring talk between unlikeable characters in and around abandoned buildings.",4 "It's not entertaining at all.

So movie will try to do this basiclly: It will try to make you sad for a orphan girl then for some reason put time travel into it to tell you a message: life is f*cked up. I mean it is original yes but there is a big but about it. If you grew up watching back to the future you will probably act like me about this movie. If movie had no plot and no time travel and all that standing was story telling i would totally give it 9 out of 10. But no.",2 "All the people saying this isn't a 10 star show are wrong. It's amazing! I'm already hooked 3 episodes in and I can't wait for what's to come with Oliver, Charles, Mabel and the murders in the building.",10 "Just watched the episode where Jordan got shot in his penis. I was offended, as I'm sure many other people were. Looks like you 'boys' have chosen to rejoin the 'pack'. That's how you are acting, anyway. Come on. How can you be offended by the 'pack' comments made by Gibson and turn around and do something more offensive? I know men are obsessed with their anuses and penises. You can't get more than two men together for longer than three minutes before the subject of the conversation turns into some reference about to their anuses. There's a limit to vulgarity and you've stepped over the line with this sketch. I'm not watching the show anymore. Your loss, not mine.",1 Second season rocks every bit as the first. Amazing use of music! And the same fun dialog all the way through. Crazy ending just screams for more!,9 "WTH is it with productions using injured and frightened animals for drama? This show barely got 2 mins in before showing one. Within the next 6 mins, 2 more episodes of animal cruelty and death are blithely discussed by a teen, as if that's supposed to be humorous. Enough already! Is this all that can be relied upon when scantily-clad women who will be abuse victims aren't on the menu? Oh, nevermind, the fully nude women appear in minute 10, and they're the property of a serial vivisectionist wizard, of course. What curse is spoken by one teen boy to another? Twaht, of course. Then the king utters repeated sexual innuendos to a teen girl, who is family member. More discussions of animal cruelty and death are back by minute 16. Versions of this type of crap crop up through the whole season. It's cheap, sloppy, cheesy, and has pretty bad acting, too.",4 One of the best war movies ever on par with saving private ryan the direction and cinematography take the film to whole new level music is brilliant and one shot scenes are taken perfectly. This film is technically very accurate and the acting from lead actors is spot on kudos to sam mendes and the entire team a well deserve oscar for this masterpiece...,7 This was an utter disappointment. From start to finish honestly. Very high hopes going in obviously as we all know the first one was pretty great. This was a disaster. I do like that the writers injected a bunch of woke progressive garbage into it though because that's what makes movies better. What a despicable disgrace the left is. Sickening.,4 "Anurag Basu brings nothing new to the dark comedy genre. It will be a good watch for viewers who have no earlier experience in the genre. As usual Pritam delivers a soothing soundtrack for Basu's movie but except the Humdum song all others will,most probably, be lost in 4 months time at best. Among the actors Pankaj Tripathy, as usual, stands out with Ishtiyak Khan delivering a short but sweet performance.Fatima Sana Seikh is at her wooden best here with almost the same expressions carried over from ToH. Rajkumar Rao just sleepwalks through his role, Abhishek Bacchan, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra all does justice to their wafer thin characters. Overall, it is perhaps the best for Basu that this film wasn't released in the theaters.",5 "Having played the first and third game and half way through the first book, I must say I was impressed with the production value of this series. When I heard Henry Cavill would be playing the Witcher, I had my doubts, just as I doubted Viggo on the role of Aragorn. Thankfully my fears went down the drain, right on the first episode of The Witcher, when Cavill portrayed the role perfectly. He has the looks, mood and moves like the Witcher in every way. Speaking of roles, I did not expect Yennifer to be played by a somewhat ""indu"" looking actress. Anya Chalotra plays the role very well, but I guess we fall pray to the images we have on our heads when we read a book or play a game. Both Yennifer and Triss do not portray my image of the characters, although they (specially Anya) show great acting skills. I do not understand why the need (again) of multi-cultural races all around, it does not fit the genre, games or even the book style. Istredd and Dara characters suffered because of this, they lack credibility. Witcher and Yennifer carried the show. Triss was pushed aside and I sure hope she is given much more credit to her character, since she is a main one in the series. So far a letdown in both screentime and even character feeling. CGI was a mixed bag, from great to somewhat bland monsters, that seemed rushed to the screen. Also some logic plot holes here and there, but nothing serious. Some characters lacked development, perhaps 10 episodes would be more adequate for this. I understand that for some viewers the series is somewhat confusing, since it goes back and forward into time, not exacly in a very detailed way, perhaps only completely understood by those who already know their lore. Also some are comparing this to GOT, perhaps their glimpse into fantasy is limited to that series style and fail to understand this is a series based on strong characters that do not necessarity have to die in the end of each season. GOT was a multitude of main characters mixed together. Witcher is very centered on the main character with some leading roles beside him. Fighting wise, Witcher is million years ahead of GOT, which was a soap opera spread too much on dry bread (with a such a blunt finish). The Witcher is set on a dark, unwelcoming atmosphere, ideal for an almost anti-hero main character. It's brutal, unforgiving and yet beautiful. If they follow the books or even the game somehow, they have plenty to develop and enrich the story on the next 2 or 3 seasons (or maybe more). I was impressed, positively, specially with Cavill on the lead, bring on the next season, this one was more interesting than the pop-show I feared it to be.",6 A movie of unbelievable brutality. Disgusting and inhuman.,2 "So this is a weird film. It's quite enjoyable to watch but on reflection, the film just doesn't have any content to refer back to. The main/only strength of this film is to watch two fine actors giving it their all with great characters who are developed so well over an almost 3 hour period but apart from the occasional random scene, they're left to flicker and fade in an otherwise rambling journey that ultimately goes nowhere. QT has definitely toned down his stylised approach for this although it has som really nice touches when old classsics are revisited with a twist ;) But for a film with this little content to be almost 3 hours is just silly and pointless no matter how endearing it is to see Leo and Brad out in such great performances. QT once again almost succeeded here but the film lacked pace and content and ultimately felt a little flat and will be another 'could have, should have' in the QT archives.",6 "Anwar Says: In the very first frame , I was certain, it's a Sanjay Leela Bhansali production, but it was his one time assistant Vikram Motwane (Lootera and Udaan fame). Pre and post independence era and inside story of Bombay Film Industry, what an interesting premise. This was an age when Studio used to be supreme and everyone including actors used to be employee of the Studio. Elite class just started giving preference to film over theatre. The owner of Roy Studio is played by none else than Prosenjit Chatterjee, a veteran having 350 movies to his credit. Though indulged in debauchery , never compromised while making movies. Aditi Roy Haidri mysterious gaze continues to express. Aparikshit Khurana is the super intelligent character and achieves what he aspire for. The characters to watch are Sidhant Gupta as Jay Khanna and Wamiqa Gabbi as Nilofar and hope, their characters would blossom more in the next set of four episodes, releasing next week. Ram Kapur is under utilised and it's delightful to watch Arun Govil on screen. Amit Trivedi is a gift to music industry and combining with Kausar Munir and Sunidhi Chauhan created the music of 40's & 50's and the mujra is a hit. Dubbed in many Indian and foreign languages and released internationally. A show exploring betrayal, love , ambitions, dreams and scandals would be sure last long in your memory. Highly recommended. #amazonprime #anwarsays #goldenera #roystudios #webseries2023 #ambition #aparikshitkhurana #ProsenjitChatterjee #surewatch.",8 "The visual effects seem to be more important than the slowmotion plot. The characters of the main actors aren't really visible and there's no tension at all. Characters appear and you don't know what is their part in the story. There are also lots of sideshows that are unrewarding. I gave the 4 points because of the visual effects. In the end it was boring, hard to follow, and I'm not able to summarize the plot.",4 "I really love people who admit to never having read one issue of Iron Man trying to review this movie. What the hell? How can you accurately review something when you haven't the slightest inkling of the source material its based on? That's like me trying to give medical advice and I'm not a doctor. I think RDJ's portrayal as Tony Stark is spot on, I've read here people talking about how he is an arrogant, sometimes unlikeable hero. These are obviously more people who have never even picked up an Iron Man comic. Tony Stark is arrogant and can be very self-absorbed until he has his eyes opened. I could have done without some of Paltrow's nagging as Pepper Potts, but again that's how it is in the comics.Potts and Stark have this really inhibited interest in each other that they tried to keep under wraps because they work together but you know they want each other. My only real complaint is the character Rourke Portrayed is kind of a mix in the comics Ivan Vanko and Whiplash are not the same guy in the comics. But I loved Rourke's portrayal overall. I did like Rockwell's Hammer as it only made us forget how arrogant and likable Stark actually was. I know that we cant have things blowing up for a full two hours, so it slows down in the middle to give Stark some time to contemplate what's slowly happening to him. He decides that 'hey if I'm gonna die I got nothing to lose' so he begins behaving very irresponsibly (even for his normal character). I admit being drunk off his butt at his party in full Iron Man gear is a bit much, but they needed to set up him behaving so carelessly that Rhodey had to step in. Seeing Johannson in tights is always good, and by the way non comic readers her real name is NATASHA ROMANOV not Natalie (that was just an alias)",8 "Given that it is a bug budget historic war epic I was not expecting anything groundbreaking. But this follows every rule in the book and is so hideously predictable that it fails to excite and is often boring. Thank you for the CGI rats to offer at least a bit of emotion. Like with a lot of modern films, this is a movie we could all easily do without. Lowest point for me was the cinematography. It is that Matthew Libatique working with Aranofsky (think Black Swan) sight abuse. I know it's the modern style of camerawork but that does not make it less insulting for the eyes. Despite all the shortcomings Sam Mendes is brilliant, so is most of the cast. Always lovely to see Cumberbatch and Strong, Andrew Scott is very refreshing here, would have loved to see more of him. This is not a bad film or complete failure, it's just lacking. Weak script, mediocre picture balanced out by great directing and acting. Worth the watch, not worth the hype.",6 "Thank God we live in an era where authenticity is now being valued and that is one the pleasing thing about Extraction. If its about Indian Drug Mafia's Lord you'll see an actual India with an Indian guy as Drug Lord communicating in Hindi, similarly when film goes to Bangladesh, you'll see real Bangladesh with Bangladeshi guy being Drug Lord there talking In Bengali. The film is the directorial debut of Sam Hargrave a Stuntman and Stunt coordinator known for choregraphing stunts in several Marvel Movies including Captain America: Civil War, Endgame, Thor: Ragnarok etc. which explains the fact that film is very mediocre in its storytelling and plot unfolding. In addition to that the film also never connects you emotionally during its emotional parts. Despite of that the film is a visual gem and gives you some visual experience as cinematography and Long action sequences are the strongest part of the movie which somehow despite of the flaws pulls this movie off to engage its audience. Talking about performances, Chris shines in all the action scenes as he should've and his presence is delightful to watch especially in cat and mouse sequences.However on the other hand Randeep Hooda looked little off colored may be due to the longer tiring action scenes for which he is not use to of, despite of the fact that he has fair amount of screen presence and is one of the leads which I definitely not expected. Tripathi as an Indian Drug Lord having just cameo appearance but he nailed it as he always does. So if you're looking for some action then this movie is for you as you cannot skip this visual gem when it comes to action",7 "GO and WATCH this movie in theater. Bollywood needs high quality movies like this, which are not only meaningful but also provide full entertainment and fun without appearing pretentious/ fake. These are the kind of movies that need to make money so that producers invest in them. I feel a bit out-of-league reviewing this movie. When all the movie critics and stalwarts of Bollywood such as Karan Johar and Aamir Khan have highly praised this movie and Kangana Ranaut's performance in almost unanimous voice, it really leaves one with nothing more to say. So I am going to only mention few things in more detail. Ranaut's performance: One of the best performances to come out of Hindi cinema in several years, this is not about shedding tears, yelling, looking cute/ gorgeous or dancing (which interestingly accounts for ""good acting"" for most Indian audience). It is marked by subtleties, such as faintly raised eyebrows, shrunk nose, narrowed eyes, aversive gaze, awkwardly positioned arms/ legs, contorted body, crestfallen face, shadow of a smirk, etc. Even when she cries, her wailing makes you wonder if you are really watching an act? Ranaut, who in real life is well-known as a fashionista, has transformed her body language, her mannerisms and her expressions completely for this role. One thing is certain - it is hard to imagine any other actress in this role and hard to imagine this movie without Kangana Ranaut as Rani. Vikas Bahl's direction: The credit also goes to the director, Vikas Bahl. Without him, the movie could have been a wreck. The movie has a very simple plot and is therefore not an easy story to make a movie with. But Bahl manages to steer clear of all traps for derailment that the story provides. The movie may seem a bit slow in the middle, but then, without sufficient time to develop the emotions and attitude of the character, the movie would not be as effective. He is also one of the very few directors who have managed to utilize Ranaut's potential as an artist. I heard in an interview that Bahl allowed Ranaut creative freedom, allowing her even to pen her own dialogs for some parts of the movie - wish all those control freaks out there are hearing! Story/ Screenplay/ Dialog: Rani's challenges in this story are not hers alone - they are the trials of every person, man or woman, who has felt diffident owing to their cultivated nature or low-spirited when bowed down by circumstances. This is a story of gaining perspective and discovering one's potential through travel, cross-cultural exposure and external support. That is why the story is so meaningful for every person. One of the reasons the movie works is because it has realistic dialog - dialog as Indians use in normal daily life, nothing cheesy that Hindi movies are so used to. Music: The movie is aptly supported by Amit Trivedi's foot-tapping and innovative score. That said, if I could, I would either eliminate some songs or shorten them just to reduce the length of the movie. Entertainment factor: Make no mistake, this is NOT an ""art film"" or parallel cinema. This is a highly entertaining and fun movie that also happens to be high quality and meaningful. Though the protagonist of the movie is a woman, the movie is equally entertaining for all men and women.",10 "It all looked great but I did not feel anything at all. The power of the original Lion King is in the emotions, this edition does not have any of this because the characters where so flat. That also made all the jokes fail. I'd watch the original over and over again, I seriously doubt I'd want to see this one a second time.",3 "I wasn't a huge fan of the 1st Sam Raimi Spidey movie but after several of my friends singing the sequels praises I caved and went to see it. Starting very well it was easy to get drawn in and it all seemed very respectful of the comic books. Enter Dr Otto Oktavius, and on come the brakes. Dr Ock should absolutely not be ever portrayed as a misunderstood, slightly ecentric scientist. Otto is by far one of, if not, Spiderman's deadliest arch enemies and is and evil meglomaniac. But okay this is forgivable as long as it's just one change and the rest is quite respectful, but noooo. Peter Parker's whole character for the past thirty odd years has been motivated by his feeling of guilt for the death of Uncle Ben, but here he confesses to Aunt May that it was all his fault and Aunt May after a while forgives him, taking away any motivation for him to be spiderman. The travesty continues when he loses his mask, or rather repeatedly takes it off. The comic books do reveal Spiderman's alter ego as being Peter Parker but when it is done it's so momentous that it takes an age for him to come to terms with. Here Peter whips off the mask when he's surrounded by people on a subway train and again in front of Doctor Octopus and Mary Jane and Harry Osbourne. It seems to me that Sam Raimi does not understand Spiderman at all. Harry Osbourne on the other hand is perfect, he couldn't have nailed him better. All in all the movie is stunning as a superhero movie to as a representation of the well established Spiderman it just plain stinks.",7 "Key and Peele are both great at comedy. This show definitely shows how talented they both are at writing and acting. They are insightful and thought provoking at times. With this show they tap into the millennial generations psyche. So why do I feel a bit hollow watching this show? Having spent the better part of a decade trying to figure out why, I think I figured out the issue. This has been done before - and better. The show (compared to Chappelle's Show) lacks bite or any form of social anger, despite the consistent theme of being a black person in the USA. The sketches are good for the most part but you will be left wondering 'could they have gone further with it?'. On reflection, the Key and Peele show is a sketch show by two people who make commentary but are hesitant (at least at the time because Peele has gone on to make movies that hit the point home much more than this show does) to commit fully to their own comments. They would rather make the audience laugh the pull away in shock. That is why at times this good show can feel rather formulaic.",6 "Obviously this film has a sophisticated marketing strategy - nothing else would explain the high ratings it gets. I was looking forward to it but unfortunately it's just boring and dull. You'll find more charisma and excitement in a daytime soap. Ana de Armas is the only actor worth watching, while the film exposes the limitations of Daniel Craig and Chris Evans. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this.",5 "well, i'm not gonna say much, but if u intend 2 watch it start with season 1 2 and so on. its about an agency that is called counter terrorist unit or ""CTU"" for short.this agency's responsibility is to deal with any threat to the USA. the amazing thing about it is that every season deals with one day with all its events which gives the chance or amazing details to be added and those writers know what they're doing. to be brief, it wouldn't continue for six years{so far} if it wasn't that good,it wouldn't also be nominated to so much awards and getting a great deal of them, so without going into details, if u didn't watch it till now, u are missing something that can and will change your life.",10 "The Coen brothers have done it again! Fargo is probably one the best films ever made. The plot is simple but effective. The acting is just superb, for us Scandinavians the intonation sounds funny and at the same time real. Frances McDormand is perfect for her role. She deserved the Oscar she received at the awards in 1997. My only advice to the film nut is to buy the movie and watch it over and over again. Fantastic Fargo!!!!",10 "Cameron's jumped the shark along with Lucas. This is Camerons Phantom Menace. Please end the madness of worshipping these over rated story tellers. No one will pop the inflated egos of these giant legendary directors so we keep getting this drivel. This movie sucked Period. Slow and uninspiring on all levels. A 5 because i like the color blue and I had a good nap. Probably should be a 3. One more to come too, OMG How much money has to be wasted. Please for the luv of all things decent and good tell this man to move on and tell a story we will remember. I don't care how revolutionary the movie technically is if i fall asleep. Avoid it you won't regret it.",2 Some of these action scenes I wonder why there's not a big splash of blood gushing out of people's body by Dr. Octo but then again it was toned for PG13...The story was a bit confusing for me but I was high as hell. The Octo villian definitely needed more screen time though. He was so mischievous looking! Almost as great as William playing The Green Goblin...with that being said. This film was only lacking some action...seeing Peter as a Pizza Boy is close to real life but I felt like it was too childish and dragging...,8 "I went to see this movie because I like Ryan Gosling as an actor, I discovered him after I watched 'Blue Valentine', and was very surprised that he is not just another pretty face but a really talented strong actor... But if I saw ""La La Land"" first I would've probably had completely different opinion about him. Movie is bad, it is not romantic at all, the chemistry between Gosling and Stone non-existent. It is boring and not moving. Ryan, please don't play in something like that again :-)",2 I love both Bucky and Sam and always wished I could see more of them in the movies and this delivers beautifully. I feel like all the bad reviews are from people who literally complain over everything.... almost as if it's their job.,9 "We were massively disappointed by this film after seeing the glowing reviews.... It's one of the few films we nearly turned off half way through. It wasn't funny, the action was stupid and the story was dull. 2 hours wasted.",3 "Feels like it was shot for 13-yo girls. So many cheap dramatics, shallow dialogues, plot twists and sterile actors. In the rank with shows like True Blood, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed. First few episodes were good to watch during breakfast, etc, but later on it just gets more and more ridiculous.",2 "Season 4 script is one of the best in the TV series I've seen. Visually the season is the best yet. Season 4 9,5/10. Season 1 9/10 season 2 and 3 8/10.",9 "Don't get me wrong, I really appreciated the hard work of the movie crew. But I/m sorry, I don't like this one. I agree that there're some quotes - which are nice and thoroughly written - but overall, the pace of the movie is so slow that I can barely finish a straight 25-minute watch. I just tried hard to finish it because Tom Hanks was in it and this is ""supposed"" to be one of the classic movies to be watched. P/s: I've read other reviews, maybe the next time I watch this one, I will love it a little more. (But for the mean time, once is enough.)",3 "This movie is exactly what you would anticipate coming into a blockbuster action superhero sequel so i won't make a huge review on it. The story is pretty predictable and not really thrilling, shocking or moving, the action/fight scenes are fun to watch and all around decent but nothing mind-blowing; the characters (specifically the two main villains) are also kind of dull and bland with forgetful backstories. In terms of dialog it really is as simple and effortless as possible, though it is able to achieve a few laughs and chuckles here and there. ""Venom: Let There Be Carnage"" is not a great film, nor does it try to be, it is a mildly entertaining movie, that goes by extremely fast, with a cool looking, big ending fight and a pointless unexciting story. 5/10.",5 "i heard about The Godfather series but never tried to see it because i thought it would be old fashioned but yesterday i made my mind to watch this and i couldn't believe its so good. i mean how the hell anyone make such a beautiful movie. its not only about gangsters but it has something that touches your heart. it shows value of your relations and your family. and as for acting is concerned its awesome , especially al pacino was really great . i really liked the 2nd part. but 3rd one was just a bit lower than first two. all i can say is its the best movie series i ever saw even more beautiful than The LOrd Of the Ring series , my previous best movie.",10 O.M.G. I'm seriously thinking of taking legal action against the creators of this this so called horror movie for stealing 90 minutes of my life... DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME 😡,1 "Phenomenal sequel to The Godfather is split between two stories. One follows the events of the first movie as Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) deals with strife inside and outside the family as he works to expand the business. The other tells the story of a young Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) and his rise to power. The greatest sequel of all time? Yeah I can't see many doubts about that. It's often said to be even better than the first movie. I don't see the point in splitting hairs over it. I'll just say that I love both films a lot, though I rewatch the first one more often than this one. For the optimum experience you should watch both movies back-to-back like they're one long film. As with the first movie, this is pretty much flawless. I can't think of a thing about it I would change.",10 Some people love it some people don't. I don't. Found myself embarrassed for the actors and lack of writing.,1 "In what world Fringilla and Triss is a black person. It is hard to understand. I am not a racist person but witcher lore has no black character as i know(just played 3 games,havent read book). There is so much unnecesery and meaningless sex and nude scenes. But it is just netflix things i guess.",7 "It failed to get me at the start and then it imploded without me on the trip. Stood outside of the ride bored. That is the drawback of ambitious weird movies sometimes you get duds do hope hollywood keeps making weird stuff.",4 "All start off by saying the negative. It's mildly overrated by these things. It is dragged down by the fact it has to be a kids show. The humour can get old or just not appeal to all audiences. And I believe that, like most things, nostalgia can make something seem better than it is or better to some than others. Also I believe that it held up better 15 years ago. It's not a perfect show but it's very very good, and does many things right. It has fantastic characters who all get the proper development and it's all done in almost the best way possible. It's got fantastic writing and story and pacing. It's has so many well displayed themes and works simultaneously as a kids show and a show for all ages. It's very immersive and develops the atmosphere and world it takes place in. Remember, just because may think something is perfect doesn't mean everyone will like it. But if you are a fan of story telling, fantasy, adventure, action, characters, animation, or just tv and entertainment in general I recommend you watch it.",9 "Anyone who thinks this series is as good as Breaking Bad or the Sopranos and can thus give it a 10/10 is either paid to post a positive review or they simply use a binary function of 1 = bad and 10 = good. That said, the series is a solid 7. Without providing spoilers, the series feels that it tries too hard to shock, to be vulgar, and when you realize Seth Rogan is a producer you can begin to understand the thought process. The story of bad people with special abilities who are posing as an analogy for whatever sociopolitical message the producers and writers want to preach isn't even remotely unique. This one has some quality actors who do a good job in their respective roles, but too much of it feels forced and comical. Too much of it is over the top ""shock you"" material. Sure there's some lead in with cutesy innocence that's shattered by brutal vulgarity, but they return to that well too often, and the same methods are used here that are worn out on all series that try to survive the cuts. ""I need to tell you something"" right before the reveal of information that makes the character reconsider their previous wishes to spill their guts.. followed by ""no, it's not important, we can discuss it later"". The series is too predictable after the 3rd episode. Once you get the ""this guy good, this guy bad"" thing down, you can guess the rest. I gave it a 7 because of the cast and the CGI. I don't care for Elizabeth Shue as an actress, but she does a good job here. The series strives to sicken the viewer, or arouse them.. depending on your fetishes.",7 "Has to be the 'Nolan Factor' or something that this film has a higher overall rating than masterpieces like ""Chinatown"", ""The Shining"", ""The Big Lebowski"" and ""2001 A Space Odyssey"" to name just a few. This is absolutely not a better film than any of those and it's way too long and completely unbelievable to boot. Nolan does a decent job getting the audience to suspend their disbelief (as he always does), even going so far as to hire experts in astrophysics and astronomy. Certainly some of the plot devices are theoretically plausible, but as a person with an education in physics (up to two semesters of quantum mechanics) and a strong interest in science fiction, this part of the movie just didn't add up. Again, the film is VERY long, and Christopher Nolan has MANY fans (of which I am one), but let's get real here. ""Interstellar"" takes on a lot and does a decent job of tying it all together, but this isn't enduring classic cinema on any level and the writing could have been better.",1 "I know people really wanted it to meet their expectations, but lets be honest, its a simplistic boring story. Feels like a telenovela staring a teenage girl. The casting is weird and disappointing. The king is naked and no one dares saying it...really not trying to be mean on purpose. Its just complete hot air. No suspense, just a very large budget and a lot of marketing. I know people really wanted it to meet their expectations, but lets be honest, its a simplistic boring story.

No suspense, just a very large budget and a lot of marketing.",3 "When I heard that HBO is making a Chernobyl themed series, my first impression was that it would, in some way, be biased and overshadowed by the indiscreetly anti-Russian present political discourse. However as far as the first episode goes, this was not the impression. Things still might change in the upcoming episodes, though I really hope it would continue on the path of high standards that were set. And they are, for the most part, based on many already published documents, testimonies, memories and facts surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe, even to the tiniest details. The fire fighter's uniforms for instance are spot on, as are pretty much all the sets. Authentic filming locations, very solid scriptwriting and a surprisingly high standard of cinematography for a cable series make Chernobyl (so far) a must-see. Sure, English accents spoil the authenticity, but then, this is an international production made for the international market and it works well as such. As for the music... one of Johansson's best.",6 "The only redeeming thing about this film was the acting. Unfortunately, most of the actors do a little too good a job convincing you how pathetic their characters can be. I do not need to watch shallow people at their shallowest to make me feel deep. I haven't seen such self indulgent tripe aimed at wannabe intellectuals since Lost in Translation came out. Anyone who gave this film a nine or ten needs to spend a little more time at small theaters that play independent, documentary, foreign, and art house films so they know the difference. If you happen to live in the south Puget Sound area you should check out the Tacoma Grand Cinema.",3 "This isn't so much a movie as it is a two-hour video game cut-scene. It's appreciated when a game goes out of its way to be cinematic, but a movie shouldn't look like a demo trailer. The more C.G., the quicker it ages; case in point - this hodgepodge from only 15 years ago. It's a commercial for the video games based on it. It's like one those 3 hour videos on Youtube where someone simply shows every cut-scene from a game all in a row. This isn't a display of competence, it's an empty, weightless, sterile showroom made squeaky-clean by the studio. A poorly-rendered vehicle collectively think-tanked in a board room meeting - basically it's the Karate Kid of our generation: trends, trends, trends - don't set, follow. Maybe later on the kids who saw this might have the decency to shake their heads and wonder, like so much other crap they enjoyed as seven year olds, how this was ever a thing to them.",1 "This story has been filmed three times before: in 1937 (with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March); 1954 (with Judy Garland and James Mason) and 1976 (with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson). In all of these films the story has been the same: an alcoholic and over-the-hill actor (or with Kris Kristofferson, rock star) finds a young talented ingenue to love and develop into a superstar. The modern day remake is a little different in that Jackson Maine, our older star (now played by Bradley Cooper), is a stadium-filling mega-rock-star, recognised and idolised in every bar he goes into.... and he frequents a LOT of bars. Maine mixes the cocktail with drugs in this version meaning that as one star is ascending, his seems destined to be heading into a black hole. At its heart, this is a good story of having self-confidence in your own abilities, no matter how people around you try to put you down. Gaga's Ally is one such person; a waitress who is constantly being told, especially by her blue-collar dad and his boozy friends, that although she has a great voice she's ""never going to make it"" because of the way she looks. In chilled fashion she meets Jackson Maine, who hears her sing and thinks she might be on the edge of glory. Not worried about her big nose, he appreciates she was born that way: in fact he likes her so much he wants to poke her face. (Sorry... couldn't resist it). I appreciate from the IMDB rating that I am probably in a minority here. (At the time of writing this is (imho) a ridiculously high 8.3). But for me, I found the whole thing a dull affair. I can't remember the last time I went to a film when I actively looked at my watch... but 1 hour 45 into this, I did (it had another 30 minutes to run). For one thing, I just didn't believe Bradley Cooper as the rock star character. He just came across as totally false and unbelievable to me. I had more resonance with Gaga's Ally. Even though she is a novice actor (and it showed at times) in general I thought she did a creditable job. But given these two factors together, there are long and indulgent exchanges between the pair that seemed to me to go on in-ter-min-ably. Best actor in the film for me was Sam Elliott as Jackson's brother Bobby. The mellowing of the brothers is a scene that I found genuinely touching. I'd also like a glance at the original script, since there are some passages (the ""boyfriend/husband"" lines is a case in point) where it felt like one of them made an script mistake and, instead of Cooper (as director) shouting ""cut"", they kept it going as some sort of half-arsed improv. What is impressive is that they got to film at live concerts (including at Glastonbury), although most of this footage is of the hand-held nausea-inducing variety. There is zero doubt that Gaga can belt out a song better than anyone. But I didn't get that same feeling about Bradley Cooper's singing: like a lot of this film (with Cooper as co-producer, co-screenwriter AND director) it felt to me like a self-indulgent piece of casting. I know music is extremely subjective, and ""country"" isnt really my think anyway. But the songs by Gaga and Lukas Nelson were - ""Shallow"" aside - for me rather forgetable. Overall, in a couple of years that have brought us some great musicals - ""La La Land""; ""Sing Street""; ""The Greatest Showman"" - here's a film about the music industry that did nothing for me I'm afraid.",4 "I started to watch this out of boredom in 2014. Didn't exactly know what to expect except this is based on one of the biggest selling manga in Japan. ""Jojo"" also has a silly ring to it. I figured all these people can't be wrong. And indeed, what a ride. It is so much fun to watch this weird, colorful anime. Don't give up after the first episode as its sillyness grows on you. Kudos to the weird imagination of the author for the unpredictable storyline. It totally lives up to the title 'bizarre'. I'm so happy Netflix gives this anime the attention it deserves. A bit of warning: it contains humor which was acceptabele to most people in the late 80ies - begin 90ies but may upset some people now.",9 Sherlock is most brilliant series ever. Storyline as well as character building was epic.,9 "I know that they were praising the ""youthification"" process that they used to change the actor's ages during the movie, but to me it looked like they put the makeup on with a spatula. One of the more depressing movies I've seen in ages. 3 hours of a depressing movie is way too long. Making it into a 2 part movie would have been an even bigger mistake. (0% of the people who watched the 1st part never would have gone back for part #2.",3 "From the very first frame of ""1917"", it is abundantly clear that the film is going to hang its hat on cinematography and technical prowess. Truth be told, that aspect is indeed so good that I'd never consider dropping it below the seven stars I gave it. That being said, I really can't vault it into the stratosphere of my celluloid favorites either, due to it being relatively short in the plot department. For a very basic overview, ""1917"" tells the story of two British WWI soldiers who are tasked with relaying a very important message to an adjacent line: the Germans are not retreating, but instead regrouping for a trap. So, Lance Corporals Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Schofield (George MacKay) set off across the dangerous French countryside to relay the message. Along the way, they encounter numerous obstacles and meet a string of individuals both friend and foe. Adding further emotional stakes to the proceedings is the fact that Blake's brother is one of the soldiers about to be sent over the trench and into the trap. There is absolutely no doubt that the visuals here are splendid. Noted cinematographer Roger Deakins truly does work his magic. Whether running through the trenches, navigating the muddy quagmires of no-man's land, or simply traversing the countryside, this truly is a sight to behold. Of course, the thing everyone is talking about is how the film looks like one long take (not true, of course, but expertly camouflaged). While I found that to be technically more of a ""gimmick"" than anything, it does structurally provide the forward momentum that a film like ""1917"" needs. Which, actually, brings me to why this movie will never be one of my favorites. Perhaps this is as much personal preference as anything, but I just need more plot ""meat"" to sink my teeth into. Because the characters are always rushing forward on some urgent task or plight, there are precious few times to stop and really be at all introspective about what is happening. This isn't so much noticed ""in the moment"" when the action is hot-and-heavy, but upon conclusion my thoughts rolled more towards ""what am I actually taking away from this experience?"", with (unfortunately) the answer being ""not all that much"" in terms of overall plot/themes. So, the way I see ""1917"" is that if it doesn't win all or most of the technical or cinematography awards at the Oscars, it will be a shame. But is it in the territory of Best Picture? I would argue no...there just isn't enough substance to take that leap.",7 "After Captain America Winter Soldier, I didn't think they could top that with another Captain America movie. Maybe an Avengers movie, but not a Cap movie. I was wrong. Civil War is one of my favourite Superhero movies to date, it had a bit of everything. It had a good cast, developed characters, new character introductions, great fight scenes, a good villain, a good story for the most part. I left the cinema screening feeling like I needed to go back and enjoy it a second time, which I did, and a third. It hasn't replaced Avengers as my favourite Marvel movie, but it's definitely close. With the disappointment of Age of Ultron, I was so happy to see this movie succeed, I had high hopes for Ultron and was crushed by how it turned out, and this really made up for that. It even made Falcon and Scarlet Witch so much cooler than they were in Ag of Ultron. Although it's not an Avengers movie, it did have aspects of being one, but with the core focus on Captain America at all times. His relationship with Bucky, his struggle with his moralistic views and the signing of the Sokovia Accords. You really feel as though it is still a Cap movie, but with a really big cast. The Russo Brothers did a great job in bringing Black Panther to life on the big screen for the first time, you could really feel like they put effort in ensuring this Black Panther feels like the one we grew up with in the comics and cartoons. Whenever he was on screen, I had a big grin on my face, the way he moved, even Chadwick Boseman's acting and accent were fantastic.It makes me really look forward to Ryan Coogler's Black Panther solo movie. Spider-Man's first time on screen in the MCU was brilliant, even though I've enjoyed previous versions of Spider-Man, the 30 minutes of screen time that Tom Holland performed as Spider-Man made all of those other movies look like child's play in comparison. It was very much on point with what we've grown up and I am so excited to see Spider-Man Homecoming, especially now we have Michael Keaton confirmed as a villain, and the most likely inclusion of Downey Jr's Iron-Man. The fight scenes were pretty much on point, with the airport scene being one of the best on screen superhero scenes ever made, full of excitement, fun, humour and action. Ant-Man was fantastic too, we don't see much of him, but from what we do see, it's great, especially in the airport. Baron Zemo as a villain is, for someone with no Superpowers, a really intimidating, cold and calculating villain. I really liked what he did, his manipulation of the characters. It was refreshing to see a villain that wasn't bent on destroying the world, as with most villains in superhero comics. If i had any gripes about the movie, it would be that dots seemed to connect quite conveniently to Zemo's advantage and for the friction between the Avengers. But apart from that, an awesome experience of a movie leaving me very excited for what the Russo's have in store for us with Infinity Wars.",8 "I think, I was expecting better movie and specially from Doctor S. But this was worse and not good at all. I am going to stop watching marvel movies after this. Their story is finished and now just nonsense.",3 "I liked most Tom Cruise's movies. I liked Top Gun. However Top Gun Maverick did not work for me. First it is kind of slow. Many years have passed, movies are moving faster, at least action movies. A lot of tribute to the original, a little too much. Second the story is not as captivating. Not sure about other viewers, my attention wondered, especially with sort of similar characters compared to the original. Third, the younger generation characters are not that interesting, cliched, I hate to say. I guess if you have never watched the original and has an average mediocre expectation, you may like it.",4 "This anime was amazing from episode 1 to 25, they didn't waste good ideas and made one of the best rivaltys i've ever seen, and the script is genius. However after the episode 25, the anime got way worse and even though the ending was good, the anime didn't have the impact that it had before with way less interesting characters.",9 "The directing , the writing and the cast is very good almost perfect show waiting for the end to watch this awesome show",9 "This six-part UK drama miniseries, starring Richard Madden (""Game of Thrones"") and Keeley Hawes (""The Durells in Corfu""), is well worth a look. Accolades abounded after its release, including a well-deserved 2018 Golden Globe for Madden. In a nutshell, Madden plays the main bodyguard assigned to look after the Home Secretary, played by Hawes. Madden's bodyguard is an Afghanistan vet suffering from PTSD who is separated from his wife, whom he still loves, and both are dedicated to their two small children. He's good at his job -- some would say, too good. Hawes' government official is sharp, driven and strong, up to the task of out-talking and out-maneuvering her peers. To say much more would give away the story, which opens with a bang. Remarkably, the tension never slows as we wind our way through a labyrinthine maze of subplots that entangle terrorists, spies and government officials. ""Bodyguard"" avoids trite story devices with very few exceptions, and Madden's psychologically troubled ex-vet is smart and asks the right questions, unlike lead characters in so many similar series who do dopey, illogical things for the express purpose of filling time in storylines being stretched way too far because of the need to pad multi-part productions. The twists are surprising and believable, done with originality, and the action scenes go well beyond the usual, keeping us in suspense and never bored. It's not too much to say this six-parter is addictive, and will keep you on edge right till the end. Highly recommended.",8 You never expect this from kaithi..what a brilliant performance....and idea the director is best of this..no songs no heroine no comedy but op,10 Bloody loved this....watched in two evenings. The main character is so fascinating to watch. You just want more. Gotta say the ending was a bit boring. For me. It was too perfect. I wanted a twist. Definitely worth a watch though.,7 "Well, honestly I saw the promos and knew it was going to be good. Good? For Heaven's sake, don't insult it. It was outstanding. And I never thought it was going to work on the Box Office because the masses love action-masala film. But I was proved wrong and I am happy for that. Queen was marketed as a comic entertainer about a stupid virgin. But it was much more. Queen was a class apart. It touches such relevant issues in a completely refreshing manner. There is humor throughout. And that unconventional ending, wow! The music by Amit Trivedi, too, is brilliant. Queen belongs, invariably, to it's director Vikas Bahl. He has an amazing story(with an ordinary screenplay, though, but it doesn't matter) to which he does complete justice. The entire country should salute this man for coming out and making such a bold and meaningful film that every Indian, and I mean the males as well, must watch. Kangana Ranaut has proved herself. She is simply flawless. Her dialogue delivery and perfect comic timing add to her beauty. Her career's best performance, and it will be no big deal is she wins the Filmfare Best Actress (Both Critic's Choice and Popular) awards. All in all, if you're a strictly masala lover, then ignore it. But if you want to watch some unconventional cinema which stands for one or more causes, this one is memorably excellent.",10 "Tbh Expectations were higher from this movie. Although the portrayal of action scenes were really really great! But the story seemed to lack intensity and also the Dhakaia Bengali is way different than the Indian Bengali (no offense). Trust me when I say it, the Dhakaia Bengali would have made this movie way better with it's rough tones ,when needed, and the way of delivering it would have made it mind blowing! Still I would say it's a rate 6 movie but my rating is 7 bcz of the great action scenes and out of my love for Russo brothers and Chris Hemsworth. Chris Hemsworth & Randeep Hoda were at their best!",7 What a waste of time. Total boring story screenplay. Is it black comedy ????????? I didn't laugh for a second. I was thinking when the movie should end .the movie was going haywire from one and to another so much of confusion so much of boredom. What's the purpose of good acting if your story is such bad I would never recommend a film like this to anyone........,1 "Iron Man 2 didn't degenerate all all into an episode of Transformers 3, but the ones expecting a story as enjoyable as the original will be a bit disappointed. This follow-up to the 2008 success has some problems with the plot, I'm not saying it's a bad movie but certainly worse than its prequel. There are a lot of scenarios but none of them explaining what's really happening. Furthermore the action scenes we have aren't excellent at all, the storytelling is amusing and entertaining, acting performances up to the situation as well but the whole product is less convincing than Iron Man 1. I'd certainly recommend it but without great expectations from the viewer.",6 "In the early 1930's, one-eyed doctor Burt Berendsen and his friend, lawyer Harold Woodsman, are hired by the daughter of their commander from the Great War to investigate his strange death. After she is murdered, the perpetrator frames the duo for the act. As Berendsen and Woodsman try to prove their innocence, they encounter a variety of odd characters, including the beautiful, Bohemian Valerie; a friend from the War and Woodsman's old lover. Whether or not they solve the grisly mystery, and if they all get out alive, remains to be seen in David O. Russell's 'Amsterdam.' A stylish film that's very light on substance, 'Amsterdam'- loosely inspired by real events- is a glitzy, glamourous flick that breaks no new ground or makes any significant waves. Relying on obvious twists to provide suspense- and full of over-written and expositional dialogue- the narrative is underwhelming, exceedingly aureate and predictable. It is a shallow affair, with no genuine heart. Russell centers his tale around the kinship Berendsen, Woodsman and Valerie experienced during the war, though the reasoning behind their bond is tenuously explained at best, and feels forced throughout. Additionally, all of the characters are caricatures of little depth, with many of the secondary ones being rather irritating. While the quirky folk Russell populated films like 'I Heart Huckabees' and 'American Hustle' with felt like genuinely off-beat personalities one might find in reality, those in 'Amsterdam' are overblown, thoroughly artificial creations that would feel ham-fisted in your average soap opera, let alone a big-budget film from a cinematic auteur. By putting them inside his weak story, Russell has concocted a devastatingly mediocre narrative cocktail. The picture is not a complete disaster, however, containing some praiseworthy elements. For one, Emmanuel Lubezki's rich cinematography is captivating, making excellent use of space and color, giving the film a distinct atmosphere and feel which- at its' best- successfully evokes film noir and the golden age of Hollywood. Judy Becker's production design is of an exceptionally high quality, and everything on screen looks both period accurate and highly detailed. The costume design from J. R. Hawbaker and Albert Wolsky is wonderful, with their outfits for Valerie being especially striking. One must also mention Jay Cassidy's editing, as he assuredly had a difficult job trying to make cohesive Russell's sprawling epic, and he nearly succeeds. While there are pacing issues and some scenes go on too long, Cassidy's efforts deserve credit, if not plaudits. Additionally, while Daniel Pemberton's score is quite melodramatic, it does lend the film additional suspense and atmosphere, which is most welcome and appreciated by the viewer. Also welcome is the presence of Christian Bale, starring as Berendsen. Arguably one of the most versatile actors of all time, Bale's performance as Berendsen is joyfully, wonderfully over-the-top and easily the strongest element of the movie. He is always convincing, charming his way into viewers' hearts immediately. Had Bale not been cast in the part, there would be very little reason to watch the film, as the work of his screen partners is considerably less laudable. Many reviewers have mentioned that John David Washington is underplaying the part of Woodsman, ostensibly in order to balance out the more theatrical performances from the rest of the cast. Perhaps that is giving him too much credit though, as he comes across as more wooden than anything else. Margot Robbie is a different story, who has been a little short-changed by Hollywood as of late, appearing in major films but getting very little to do. Tarantino wasted her talents in the egregiously overrated 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' Jay Roach underutilized her in 'Bombshell' and now Russell has done the same. Though Robbie tries her darndest to make the free spirit Valerie interesting, Russell's paper-thin characterization nullifies her efforts. The film features as the supporting cast a who's who of Hollywood, some of whom do very good work and most of whom are wasted. Anya Taylor-Joy and Rami Malek are the real stand outs, playing an eccentric couple reminiscent of Sandra Bernhard and Richard E. Grant from 'Hudson Hawk.' Like Bale, their delightful overacting injects some much-needed joy into the proceedings, and they work wonderfully together. Unfortunately, Russell squanders the talents of the rest (Robert De Niro, Michael Shannon and others) giving them little interesting to do but stand around and pad the cast list; truly a tragic waste of capable players. 'Amsterdam' is a muddled, missed opportunity featuring an underutilized cast and an uninspired narrative. Though visually rich and striking, the film has very little to offer the viewing audience- certainly nothing new. Fans of Christian Bale will enjoy the exuberance of his performance, but this is a lightweight movie that doesn't adequately take advantage of his- or any of the other cast members'- ability. To cut a long story short, 'Amsterdam' is a cheapskate hustle of a film that is destined to be forgotten, except as an example of movie-making folly; for which it will be eternally remembered.",4 "This is the most creative, intelligent, well-written, unpredictable, and suspenseful program that I have ever seen, and this is coming from a man who watches a lot of television. Throughout its four seasons, 24 provides a cliff hanger at the end of most episodes to keep you attached and has provided some of the most unpredictable twists that I have ever seen, including the ultimate shocker at the end of the first season (which I won't go into because somebody may read this before watching the first season). As far as acting goes, there isn't a weak-link on the show. Kiefer Sutherland leads a cast of exceptionally impressive and compelling actors/actresses that make the show great week after week. I would strongly recommend that if you do not already watch 24, start now because you're really missing out.",10 "Boring as all hell. I've never seen a movie about such an exciting subject be so boring. The ""one take"" gimmick hurt the movie. If this could have been edited with multiple set ups the movie could have been much better. After about 20 minutes of following behind people and time filler dialogue I really started to notice the real time format. I was really interested to see how they were going to pull it off. I am very interested in new camera work and story telling but this time it hurt the movie. When he goes up the hill in the woods forever I almost left. There was no reason for that. I'm sure Mendes was watching the movie during editing and wished he could make some cuts. Doing Rope as ""one shot"" works and doesn't dictate the story. With this it dictated the story telling.",1 "Look I am a fan of Chris Nolan or at least I used to be. His movies are always different and I liked them. Prestige was the first movie that I watched of him and I loved it. The Dark Knight was the movie that I had the highest expectations and it did not let me down. I know there are 10 things not to like The Dark Knight but for me there were 1000 things to like. But this time I AM disappointed. Inception is like the cutest car that can't run very fast. It has its good looking but no good plot and a million questions about the concept. There are a few simple rules about a science fiction movie or story. When you watch one there are things you feel right or not. You can use your wildest imaginations but at some point they have to make sense. This film certainly did not feel right. This was like a low budget science fiction which starts well but loses it after a while except for this was a big budget movie! Well there ARE a few things to like about this movie. It has a good concept, good graphics and good acting. If the plat was better and a few more things made more sense this could have been the masterpiece everyone thinks it to be.",5 "Civil War is this. Throwaway villain convicts a convoluted, illogical plot of vengeance that turns the Avengers against each other that they still fall for, even going against their established behaviors to do so. The Avengers have epic fights and new heroes are introduced. The end. Honestly, if you've read the summary then you can skip the movie. It's contrived and illogical. Watch clips of the fights on YouTube if you want. This film has little value elsewhere. The Avengers reunite the next movie.",4 "Weird series because every episode seems completely unrelated (isn't the case as will be revealed later on) and i got to say that some of them are boring and uninteresting (Episodes: 1, 3, and 5), some are honestly very fun to watch (Episodes: 4, 8 and 9) while the rest are average at best. To conclude, quite difficult to rate since if there was only episodes 4, 8 and 9 + random explanations for the other episodes during the finale i would've given it a 9. Other episodes just being filler imo.",7 "Imdb trivia says the director decided to make this movie as their directorial debut instead of a DCEU movie. After watching this movie, I'd say that was a smart move. The story builds up nicely, with characters being introduced at the right pace. It doesn't throw scares every few minutes, but times the horror parts perfectly. Every scary scene has good start, draws you in quickly and thrills you by the end. The non-scary scenes are used carefully to create more background for the characters and explain their motivations. The performances are also good. No over the top performances from any actors, with their emotions and reactions perfectly matched with their dialogues. I, however, hated the central character-Mia. Sophia Wilde delivers a great performance but I could not empathise with her character. I was annoyed and frustrated by Mia. Her character seems to have a self-destructive streak and has no problems in taking along her friends down with her. After causing so much pain to others, she continues to build upon her horrific ideas. Her friends continue to support her in these idiotic endeavours. Her intelligence seems to deteriorate as the movie progressed. Despite my personal opinion, I would definitely recommend this movie.",7 Completely unnecessary movie. It should be called scream instead! There was no basis whatsoever. Plot was so weak it was a joke. It wasn't scary at all. Worst 'horror' movie I have ever seen.,1 "This is not one of best super heroes movies, this one of best movies all time.",10 "Easy to guess what will happen also some characters have spesific personalities. For instance, Armin is very intelligent. If Armin makes a decision, you can guess that armin chose the true thing but except this situations thats really good for teens.",9 "By now everyone will know it is an emotionally engaging film, and on this aspect alone I'm sure it deserved all it's plaudits. However, I'll admit to not being able to sit through the whole film as the racist stereotyping made me very uncomfortable and the supposed jokes such as tall Bill Murray and short Japanese people in the elevator was eye rollingly bad, as was the fact the shower nozzle was too low for him - a terrible slap stick moment. The Japanese people were dehumanised and were just foils for repeated obvious jibes, which in the end forced me to terminate watching it which was a shame. I think I'll await the Japanese remake of this US film! (which would be an ironic reversal of the usual way of things, i.e. a poor US remake of top Japanese film).",5 "I binged the first season, it was silly but interesting and addictive. The second season was a huge let down though, for several reasons: 1. Diana became such a Mary Sue character, she became unbearable to watch. There were traces of it in the first season too, but it was much more managable. Every time she spoke in S2, I wanted to slap her. 2. Matthew became a totaly different person. Seems like the storytellers couldn't decide what to make him, so they made him a cliche. 3. Nothing about time travel in this book made any sense. Nothing. Explanation for everything is ""because magic"". So, MCs I can't stand anymore and a plot that frustrates me more than it does anything else? Good riddance.",5 "A lot of things will please even an old time spiderfan like me. The freshness, the concept of the multiverse and the variations on the carachter are all very cool, but I have to say they missed the mark on the badguy department. And I say this not only about this movie but I also say almost everytime some Marvel production uses Wilson Fisk (except for Daredevil, offcourse) as the main villain. Kingpin is only a human, and even been a big and strong one, is unacceptable that he, or anyone like him, can face spiderman in a fist fight. Its just lame script and lack of research and it kinda ruined the movie for me.",6 "DRAMA SERIES ""Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."" WHEN|WHERE Premieres Tuesday night at 8 on ABC/7 WHAT IT'S ABOUT Created by Joss Whedon, this picks up from where his big-screen ""The Avengers"" left off, following the battle of New York with -- surprise -- agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) still very much alive. A new threat called The Rising Tide looms. His new team: agents Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen), Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge), and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet). As with ""Avengers,"" everything takes place in the Marvel Universe, peopled by thousands of characters. MY SAY ABC introduced this show to the press over the summer with cloak- and-dagger theatrics that even agent Coulson would have admired. The pilot was hand-delivered under guard to the Beverly Hilton, where it was then played to critics who were warned that anyone caught recording would be vaporized, or otherwise meet an end far too gruesome to explain to their spouses or employers. That's an exaggeration, but not by much. Marvel, now under the aegis of Disney, means business with its first TV series. Secrets must be kept because everything, including the fate of the Marvel Universe, seems to be riding on this. Maybe everything is -- at least for ABC -- although for the moment, there's nothing to worry about. ""S.H.I.E.L.D."" boasts a must-watch pilot that will forcibly remind viewers of what network TV can still do, if budget is a secondary concern. As with ""The Avengers,"" Whedon's ear and sensibilities match the material perfectly -- that high-velocity back- and-forth snark that illuminates character and motive, even when you don't always know exactly what someone just said. That's a neat trick, but it may also hint at a broader concern for the average viewer. Just how deeply will this dive into the Marvel Universe, a bewildering place, even for experts? The pilot, which can be a thicket in places, indicates dumbing down will not be an option. And if you didn't like ""The Avengers,"" or don't know who the Fantastic Four are (none of whom appear here), or superheroes put you in a deep snooze, then move along: ""S.H.I.E.L.D."" isn't for you. But if the success of the ""Iron Man""/""Avengers"" movie franchises is any indication, it should be for plenty of others. BOTTOM LINE A blast -- for fans. GRADE A",7 A good example of primitively stupid movie based exclusively on special effects. Not recommended for people with functioning brain.,2 "After 1 hour of watching, and waiting when the interesting part will start, I stopped watching it. Too much special effects, and no decent story line.",4 "I only started to watch this anime because of good reviews i saw on the net, and being naruto fan i never thought this anime could get any better than naruto,the initial intention was to only watch 2 episodes and before you know it i was already finishing episode 8!! The anime starts with a good phase and a solid background story of the character, after that it takes off and every end of an episode will make you want to watch the next right away. Good story with a nice blend of action & comedy involving the character. Definitely will recommend to all the action and fast paced anime lovers out there.",8 "How can any Marvel movie match up to The Avengers? Similar to what happened to the quality value of The Expendables franchise after the Indonesian bloodbath funfest The Raid totally rewrote the rules on how to film and execute an action movie, The Avengers became the pinnacle of Marvel films simply because of all the superheroes involved and the sheer scope of the comic book mayhem. Overall it knocked down the standalone Marvel movies and even the Batman movies a few notches. Let's be honest, the Nolan Batman trilogy would have overall ranked to just above Spider-Man level if it had not been for The Dark Knight's Joker. How can Iron Man 3, Thor 2, and Captain America 2 possibly live up to The Avengers when it features each of these heroes AND more? Well, Captain America: The Winter Soldier succeeds by providing a deep plot, plenty of action, and an ability to take some gambles that will have ramifications within the cinematic Marvel universe. Lastly, menacing villains that doesn't involve ripping the hearts of comic book fans (a.k.a. The Mandarin in Iron Man 3) is always an added bonus. In the mix of heroes, Captain America is the most likable and also the most relatable because of his sheer commitment to keeping the American public safe while also being wary of the 21st century techniques of keeping the nation out of harm's way. But adding to the mix are The Falcon and Black Widow, two also very supportable characters (Helps to have Scarlett Johansson and Anthony Mackie) with similar goals, even though Black Widow's intentions can become muddy. All three are wrapped in a story that involves decades of betrayal, dark secrets, and politics behind staying one step ahead of domestic, foreign, and intergalactic terrorism. With a script that hits close to home, this is easily the best-written of the Marvel films thanks to Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Tying in all the plot twists and surprises are well-executed action sequences that rely very little on CGI (well, up until the big climax) and depend more on excellent stunts, clever editing, and great direction (Special props to the Russo Brothers). The chases are fun, the shootouts are intense, and the hand-to-hand combat is leagues above the normal comic book movie. Instead of one overarching villain, we have multiple enemies fighting in the front lines and behind the scenes, increasing the tension throughout the movie---especially in the breathtaking final act. Bottom Line: Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the best of the standalone Marvel movies since the original Iron Man because its plot and themes hit close to the heart, the action is relentless, it never becomes too predictable, the acting is great, and the blend of political thriller gives it a special taint you usually don't find in comic book films. It is entertaining, thought-provoking, and intriguing from start to finish. Like your best Marvel comic books, it has plenty of heroes, plenty of enemies, and never wears out its welcome. Bring on Avengers 2, because the Disney/Marvel brand is definitely going in the right direction.",8 "Not sure why so many bad reviews, the show is very close to being as good as The Boys. Its a good spin off, has the same vibe & style as the parent show, so they do make you feel like you are watching the Boys or something from that universe, as intended. There are flaws here but still the show is quite entertaining & well written. If you are a fan of the original show, this how is a must watch as some of the storyline & characters will overlap with the main show. One thing I did not like was how towards the climax, some characters just completely change, suddenly. That part should have been written better but overall, a very enjoyable show, just like The Boys.",8 "A stunning and hilarious comedy from the crowd who brought us ""Knocked Up"" and ""40-Year-Old Virgin"". It also brilliantly showcases some emerging talents in the form of Jonah Hill and Michael Cera. Rogen/Apatow/Evan's latest offering is right on the money, in this story about a couple of high school loser geeks trying to make some kind of impact on their dreary lives as they prepare to head out to college. It's loosely based on Rogen and Evan's own experiences in high school, and charts new territory in the teen comedy drama despite being set against the well-worn backdrop of a ""the last big party before graduation"". The comedy is razor-sharp, and evokes Kevin Smith's early outings like ""Clerks"" and ""Mallrats"". But there's also a 'mainstream-iness"" about it last seen in the original ""American Pie"". Hill and Cera are charmingly gormless as the leads, and they do a sterling job of balancing the film's comedic elements off against a fairly serious theme about the separation anxiety we all feel as we approach the end of high school. Director, Greg Mottola has also teased out very good performances from the rest of cast. All in all, an instant cult classic. Be warned though: this is the kind of movie you'll end up watching 2 or 3 times in a single sitting.",8 "Jenna Ortega is wonderful as Wednesday. The rest of the cast is great too for the most part. The sets are visually very appealing. And yet, with all that, the series is a disappointment with the lacklustre writing. The first few episodes showed some potential, and the underlying murder mystery plot seems like a good premise at first. However, as the season progresses, each episode is more disappointing than the previous, culminating with a season finale that is not only anti-climactic, but leaves you wondering what the writers and directors were thinking. So much potential wasted. Fred Armisen plays... Fred Armisen. The dialogue turns into something out of Riverdale. The unique appeal of the Addams family as a critique of society by turning social norms inside out is replaced with a Harry Potter clone. Watch only if you enjoy being disappointed like your parents were with you.",6 Very well done. The characters design is maybe what I like most.,9 "So, you know that moment when you're watching a movie and you suddenly ask yourself if maybe your ""hero"" is actually the bad guy in this scenario? And don't get me wrong, corruption and criminal empires and all that are bad. But hell, a lot of the people getting slaughtered like flies are as far as I can tell regular police officers... Them being from another country doesn't really change this fact... Doesn't justify the amount of death, destruction, collateral damage... Also, a ""tad"" unrealistic. Sort of a Rambo/Wick level of fake overpowering where too much is like not enough rather. Can't say I really liked Thor much (7/10?), and while I don't really care for this movie, Hemsworth does pretty good. It's funny though, his character seems to have the same kinda vibe as the failed MIB movie there... Almost makes ya wonder lol if he is cast for his looks or his talents...",6 "Lacks the ambiance, pace, snark, humour and wit of other vampire shows. I'm talking about the classics of the genre like True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and Being Human (UK ofc). The pacing is off, they get together too fast, sometimes there's no action other times there's too much. The direction seems to be off, the atmosphere is fine but not enticing enough in spite of the gorgeous cinematography. Also, the casting is weird... Matthew Goode is not sexy or vampiric enough, Teresa is just kind of meh and the rest of the cast don't work together for some reason. But it's watchable, will check out next season.",6 "I wasn't sure what to think of this film. It had an interesting concept. Some really cool visuals. It was almost as if a bunch of special effects people got together and said: ""who needs writers?...or good characters?....or a plot?..."" and then made this movie. No real ending. No real vested interest in characters. It was a complete waste of time without even a cool or interesting pay out at the end. Couldn't find anything other than some intersting visuals to redeem this piece.",2 "Many people are wrongly accusing the movie of being 100% profanity. They miss the point. There is a balance between the crude, and often satirised, and the heartfelt undertones of friendship and sex. Those who complained the movie was misogynisitc, again missed the point and probably did not watch it to the end. The crudeness which is hilarious, is also complemented by much more subtle humour, coming especially from Cera, as well as well-timed slapstick. The characters are believable teenagers at the mercy of hormones. Watch this film, if you think you are smart enough to understand. It is a comedic masterpiece.",10 "The only thing that made me happy was mufasa and the brilliant actor that reprised that role! I hated how they had about 85% of the original script. Sorry to say but worst villian voice actor!!!! Absolutely no scariness into his voice unlike Jeremy irons (what a rugged voice). Scar seemed like he was reading a script and bored himself and just played along to get paid. Horrible acting on his part!!! Horrible singing for scar!!!! Come on!!!!!!!!! I was e pecking so much from that song!!!!!! No flavor! No goosebumps!!!! So boring. Once again, just giving maybe 15% in the singing to get his millions. I heard Jeremy wanted to reprise his role! What were you thinking for turning your head away from it!!!!!!! I think I have to give all the credit to James earl jones!",3 "First Knives Out was not perfect, but it was a good black comedy. This one - thoroughly disappointed. It looks like a parody of a good movie or real life. ZERO fun. The storyline is super weak and predicted, acting is terrible - it looks like all actors don't want to play in this movie. Visually it's great to look at, but don't spend your time on this. I feel sorry for Daniel Craig, who needs to be a part of sh** like this after 007. Movies like this are destroying the careers of actors. Yes, I know it is Netflix, and you can expect nothing good. But I hoped for some changes after Wednesday. And yes - terrible, unfunny ending. It looked like an uprising in kindergarten.",1 "I have been a Barbie lover since i was a little girl and when i knew they were going to do a Barbie movie I was really excited and looking forward to watch it, especially after all the hype, the attention and all the marketing and everything, but I ended up being really, really disappointed with the movie. Very boring movie from the beginning till the end. Throughout the whole movie, I just wanted the movie to be already over. That's how bored i was and how much it wss not interesting. I really got bored during the movie. There was really nothing fun or exciting. So yeah it was pretty disappointing.",4 "Been years since i last seen these films and it was time to view them once again. This part 2 i found to be a very long, drawn out affair. Reading the other numerous reviews on this site, one would think this is the movie of all movies. Well, perhaps that may be the case for some. But for the average movie goer to which this movie was made for, it was totally lacking compared to the first, original Godfather. There was not much for character development which made you feel distant to the characters. Too many scenes of unnecessary standing around with poor dialog that really needed a Brando type boost. I could not find that presence here at all. It was indeed a watchable movie with great cinematography and that classic look. Overall this movie seemed to abandon the gangster/mob genre and become more daisy drama. I think in the first half of the movie there was one gun scene and a mild at that. It truly dragged along carrying only the die hard fans of this saga and leaving behind a trail of dissatisfaction for those whom watched the original movie and expected epic type, early mob style composition.",6 Great acting and the story keeps you coming back but the hole thing tanks like a turd in punch bowl!,5 "2 hours of my life I'll never get back! All over the place, hard to keep up with what was really happening.",2 Totally annoying drivel. If your humour is witty satire then avoid this rubbish,1 "A hugely underrated cinematic gem from Mani Ratnam, Dil Se till date remains Shah Rukh Khan's most mature work. Khan's devastating portrayal of an All India Radio programme executive madly in love of a mystical beauty, who he knows can never be his, carries the hallmark of an actor working at the height of his powers. No wonder Khan became the nation's heartthrob in the '90s in spite of the odd choices he made during this phase. Although he has only grown in stature since then, his later performances pale in comparison. Post mid-2000s, he has been a spent force and his most recent performances have been abysmal to say the least. Speaking of Dil Se, it is Manisha Koirala's beguiling performance that gives the movie its soul. Austerely dressed and with minimal make-up and sparse dialogue, she sets the celluloid on fire. It's difficult to think of another Bollywood actress with such a striking combination of beauty and brains. As Meghna, she is both the hunter and the hunted: a quintessential femme fatale. There is poetry in the duo's on-screen romance and a sort of divine connect. The movie follows SRK's character through the seven stages of love: starting with infatuation and ending with obsession and ultimately death. Alas, all great tales of love are essentially tragedies! Dil Se is no different. Mani Ratnam masterfully weaves an unforgettable tale of love in the backdrop of terrorism. A. R. Rehman's music and Santosh Sivan's cinematography beautifully add to the movie's poignancy. The dance sequences and the exotic locations of the song 'Satrangi Re' transcends the viewer to a world of Sufi romanticism and Urdu poetry. One can't really ask for more! For more on the world of cinema, please visit my film blog ""A Potpourri of Vestiges"".",9 The film is a pile of reference from other films and metaphors played to the vague for the spectator to try to solve. The script and weak do not enjoy the well the characters that are poorly developed. The film also has progress issues that are at a slow pace. Thinking of everything until it is fun and offers suspense and plays the spectator in the mysteries to try to solve the metaphors that played in the film.,5 "Captain America: The First Avenger was somewhat strange – it combined an interesting origin story with goofy plot elements and dumb action sequences. In the world of superhero movies, there is an unofficial rule that the sequel is better than the first movie. Luckily, this is the case with Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Not only is 'The Winter Soldier' clearly superior to 'The First Avenger', but this movie is also (arguably), for now, the best movie in the Phase 2 of Marvel Cinematic Universe. That being said, Captain America: The Winter Soldier isn't as good as everyone makes it out to be (it currently has pretty high ratings on both IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes). The movie follows Steve Rogers aka Captain America (Chris Evans) as he tries to find his place in the modern world, and that definitely isn't easy for him – the world clearly changed and even S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't what it used to be. He is most worried about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s project Insight, which is basically a plan to launch 3 next generation Helicarriers to the sky to neutralize, from above, any possible threat. The situation gets more complicated when Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) gets attacked in broad daylight, and Steve Rogers doesn't know who to trust anymore – could it be that S.H.I.E.L.D. is compromised? Of all the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: The Winter Soldier feels the least like a superhero movie. There's a certain James Bond/spy movie vibe to it, and Kevin Feige, the movie's producer and President of Marvel Studios, went as far as to describe it as 'a 1970s political thriller masquerading as a big superhero movie'. In spite of being described as a '1970′s political thriller', 'The Winter Soldier' is still a relevant movie, in the way that it deals with some major recent events (the post 9/11 world and WikiLeaks). This new direction in Marvel movies is definitely a brave one and should definitely be applauded. Visually, the movie looks great, which could be explained by another novelty in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – the use of visual effects is reduced to the minimum (which was the decision of the movie's directors, the Russo brothers). The action sequences are well shot and edited and rank amongst the best ones I've seen in Marvel movies. As for the actors in the movie, some of them played their characters so many times now, they need no special analyzing (Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson & Scarlett Johansson), and the newcomers did a satisfying job – Robert Redford was believable as Alexander Pierce, Anthony Mackie's The Falcon was nicely introduced and Sebastian Stan's Winter Soldier was alright (despite he doesn't really play that important a role for someone who has his name appearing in the movie title). Even though Captain America: The Winter Soldier does many things right, it still suffers from the same flaw many movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe do: the villains are not that good. By now, 9 movies have been released in the MCU, all of them producing only one memorable villain – Loki. The villains in Captain America: The Winter Soldier are forgettable at worst, and average at best. Not that a movie necessarily needs a great villain to be great itself, but it definitely helps if the audience has an interesting villain to help them sit through the movie (with its runtime of 136 minutes, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the second longest movie in the MCU, which is a little too much for a solo superhero movie). Also, as the movie progresses, it gets increasingly worse, with its action packed third act suffering from some ridiculous elements. Undoubtedly, all these elements – the bland villains, the runtime, the inconsistent quality – are precisely what keeps Captain America: The Winter Soldier from reaching its full potential. Rating: 7/10 Read more reviews at http://passpopcorn.com/",7 "All the below are non-creative copying of past movies (done many times before): 1. Opening scene - alarm clock going off. 2. Coffee brewing. 3. Casket being lowered; raining for effect; long shot of cemetery showing stranger watching. 4. Afterwards, solemn wake party. 5. Mystery package at door. From? Of course. 6. Bad guys are (Guess what nationality?) $1000 if you have no idea. And, of course, are as stereotypic as cut-out doll figures. 7. Older hot cars and lots of squealing tires, burning rubber (or synthetic equivalent). You would think Reeves character would be past that 17 year old's infatuation. 8. Master killer still has an arsenal hidden away, why? Anticipated this precise series of events unfolding many years earlier. Or, nostalgia. 9. Reeves is covered in tats, of course, to show us toughness. Russian iconic tats no less - oops! 10. Dozen (cheaper that way) bad guys need some skill training because they're slow, dumb and can't seem to shoot at a target a few feet away and always walk around corners without looking first. 11. Been done before ""cleaning crew"" just a call away to dispose of waste animal tissue (human of course). They always look the same in these movies. 12. Usual cheap scene filler, and getting really tedious, helicopter shot of city and car traveling on road below (even did a several times). 13. Background music the usual rock/blues/alter/jazz sound. 14. Barely clothed chicks tossed in for the male viewer and one to be bad. 15. Same old club scenes with strobes. 16. Usual wharf/dock driving and shooting scenes. 17. Now for the fun part and a new record surpassing the past record of 65 kills by one individual in a movie (can't remember the movie from a couple of years ago but it had that Detroit blighted semi-deserted projects, public housing/towers backdrop with this guy going through the floors shooting all the druggies). The new record for a movie is (drum roll) 73 by Reeves and 8 by others = 81 (maybe more, hard to keep track at times).",2 "Where to begin? If anyone had told you at the start of 2023 that the highest-grossing film of the year was going to be a film based on a female doll that first appeared in 1959, you'd probably have them trucked off to the funny farm. And yet that is what has happened with BARBIE. Somehow, perhaps through osmosis, Gerta Gerwig, one of Hollywood's great female directors of this age, known for films like 2017's LADY BIRD and 2019's LITTLE WOMEN (a great adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's literary masterpiece), has made the world's most famous doll become a huge deal, through a mix of goofiness, gaudiness, a certain amount of camp, satire, and pointed jabs at society. Mrs. Gerwig has also managed to do so with a few references to films of the distant and not so distant past. Take the very opening scene, in which little girls of a previous ""era"" used to play with baby dolls, giving them the idea that the only ideal for a woman to be when she grew up was to be merely a mother. But then Barbie comes along, and inspires them to destroy the past to create a better future. Gerwig does this in clear but witty homage to the ""Dawn Of Man"" sequence that opens up director Stanley Kubrick's 1968 sci-fi masterpiece 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, with Barbie standing in for the monolith, and the awestruck little girls standing in for the man-apes. Gerwig even went to the trouble to use both the portentous opening of Richard Strauss' ""Also Sprach Zarathustra"" and the Kyrie from Gyorgy Ligeti's ""Requiem"" from Kubrick's film (getting the hearty approval of Kubrick's family in the process). After that, BARBIE goes into the adventures, and misadventures, of the world's most famous doll, in the personage of Margot Robbie (as the so-called ""stereotypical"" Barbie), and Ryan Gosling (LA LA LAND; FIRST MAN) as the original Ken. Robbie's existence with the other Barbies throughout time in Barbieland (which looks like a crazy amalgam of Hollywood, Venice, LAX, and Palm Springs rolled into one), finds her making her way into the Real World of today, and finding out, much to her shock, that being the ideal of perfection not only isn't all that it's cracked up to be, but that male patriarchy is the essence of everything in that world. In the meantime, Gosling's Ken, through reading about male patriarchy in high school books, leads a revolt with the ""other"" Kens to turn Barbieworld into ""Ken's World"", a symbol of male testosterone excess. The end result is crazy chaos, involving not only Mattel's CEO (Will Farrell), but also a mother (America Ferrera) and her daughter (Sascha Greenblatt), and Ruth Handler (Rhea Perlman), the actual woman responsible for having created the original Barbie. With all these crazy things happening in the span of just under two hours, it is not surprising that some of the acting is rather overripe, and the jokes and sight gags don't always work. But given all this, and the fact that it sometimes seems on the verge of falling totally apart, the film stays on track due to Mrs. Gerwig's imaginative direction, and, most especially, Robbie's performance as Barbie, where she evolves from a stereotypical figure to a genuinely human one If some of the shots Mrs. Gerwig and her co-screenwriter Noah Bumbach take on the clichés of the status of men and women in the real world can sometimes border on blatant point-making, many of the others are so spot-on that one cannot help laughing at them once we get them. Gerwig's film references, besides the aforementioned ""2001"" homage, include two more Kubrick classics (DOCTOR STRANGELOVE; THE SHINING), plus THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, THE WIZARD OF OZ, GREASE, and SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, to name just a few. In the end, however, BARBIE is a totally original and insane piece of both old and new Hollywood at its best. For this, Gerwig, Robbie, and Gosling, along with the droll narration of Dame Helen Mirren, deserve tons of credit, as they managed to make what could easily have been an unmitigated disaster into a memorable and wholly unexpected smash spectacle. BARBIE gets a '9' rating from me.",9 well show has made with really good concept. But it has 8 seasons and they come up with different plot in every new season 24 episodes may be boring but i feel like they just keep repeating things not exactly but you find same situation every other season. i can't go in details but person who have watched knows what i mean. Also one thing that when they kill somebody they do not do it in a good way. Like in shows like homeland and breaking bad and walking dead when hero kills someone i literally jumps off my chair and even fingers crossed. So i wasn't that excited while watching this series. Last but not least they really fail to make good ambiance.,7 "I really love the action of this show, the dialogues and characters works very well but I think sometimes some scenes are unnecessary and don't have a connection between them, you have to be very observer to catch and understand some things that don't have a sense. Whatever, generally is a great show with an interesting history that you should watch.",8 "What makes this movie special is really the fact that it is a Saif Ali Khan movie. Yes, it is his first home production. But more importantly, it marks an unbelievable evolution from that gawky embarrassment we saw in ""Aashik Aawara (1993)"". Although he has proved himself in Dil Chahta Hai and Hum Tum earlier, for someone who grew up watching his initial movies it is difficult not to be awed by his resurgence. Like Abhay Deol, his choice of stories recently has been more commendable than his performance (which too, now, would do his mom proud). Love Aaj Kal is made in the Imtiaz Ali genre, picking up where his first movie Socha Na Thha ended. It feels like a sequel of sorts to both SNT and Hum Tum, with bits of inspiration from ""When Harry met Sally"" and another Chinese film I saw referred to on IMDb. Yet it manages to weave a beautiful story across two eras, interspersed with songs you simply have to hear again and again. As always, Imtiaz treats the locations as another character. The foggy Delhi of 1960s, the historical Delhi of 2009, the melting pot of London and the undulating streets of San Francisco--- they all form an indelible part of the story. While some of the non-Indian characters are reduced to caricatures, don't Hollywood films do the same to non-American characters? :-) Performances are good, especially from the Saif in 1965 and his girl Harleen. With very few dialogs in that part of the film, the actors must act with their eyes and this is where they do a great job. Rahul Khanna is wasted (yet again) and Rishi Kapoor lights up the screen the way he always does. I recommend you go see this in the theater and relive your first 'break up party'. Then, if you like it, I seriously recommend checking out 'Socha Na Tha (2005)' to see Imtiaz work before big-bucks box office beckoned.",8 "Watching this, I get why some modern audiences (young'ns) won't find it as funny and as great as the rest of us born before 2001, but it's still well written, it's clever, the story makes sense, the plot plays put in a logical way. IT'S GOOD! And let's face facts, Peter Serafikonkf... Peter Serafikissy bums. ..Peter (I think Greek name) can pull off the personality of ""The Tick"", he deserves all the praise coming to him. He's from Liverpool for heavens sake? I dated a couple of girls from Liverpool. Feisty. Argumentative. Unpleasant. Nah, they were ok for Scouser.",8 """Cocktail much hyped movie with a star cast of Deepika Padukone Saif Ali Khan , & the débutante Diana Panty had a good opening in the multiplex's of metropolitan cities , its an avg flick with some good laugh, impressed by performance of débutante Diana Penty she is just not beautiful but proved herself a good actor But the movie lacks a tight script & was predictable which i hate half to the movie and u can tell the end, & a concept mix of some Hollywood flicks like My Best Friend's Wedding, Just Friends, Drive Me Crazy etc this flick lacked originality i recommend this only if u got much time & money to waste """,5 How is this 7.7 stars!? Everyone was simply reading memorised lines the whole time! What was the plot supposed to be? Was I supposed to follow something? If I would have seen this in the theatre I would have walked out - awful awful directing of really good actors. I don't recommend anyone waste their time on this ridiculous shark-jumping sequel.,1 Breakthrough is an emotional film that will either reaffirm your faith or send heathens running for the hills. God is the ultimate Dues ex machina.,5 "I had not seen any reviews for this film, and had no idea that it was a loose biopic of Steven Spielberg. The movie was totally engaging from the very first scene and 2 hours 20 minutes went by in a flash. It could easily have been 3 hours plus and still kept me enthralled. The acting was superb, as was the direction and cinematography. The characters felt totally believable and richly developed. The movie itself has humour, pathos and great depth, It richly deserves it's Oscar nomination. I have now read a great number of the negative reviews and I can't believe they were watching the same movie. I can only assume that they thought that it would be more like Jaws or Raiders Of The Lost Ark. And as for the comments about it being too long, maybe their brains aren't able to cope with films longer than 85 minutes.",8 "In a 2 hours 22 min movie you can see 1. SRK as a star. 2. SRK as a fan. 3. SRK as a fan imitating his star perfectly. 4. SRK as a fan imitating his star imperfectly. 5. SRK as a star imitating his fan. All this with emotions like anger, happiness, hatred, love, attitude, helpless, and uncountable mood swings which is well reflected through change in expression and body language He is definitely back with a bang!!",10 "I've never played the video game. So as a viewer of this tv show, I was incredibly disappointed with the ending. I don't see the point of a season two, but I understand it's meant to be an adaptation. I will not be watching as I'm not interested in Joel and Bella's relationship. If you don't play the video games, you will probably not enjoy the tv show as much as those that have played them. The adaptation should have been a limited series with a different ending than the video games to fully adapt it to television, as the finale has no resolution. The conclusion makes sense from a video game perspective, but not for television.",5 "A good cast gone to waste with a poor script. Craig's accent is poor...but sure why he found t have been English. There's some entertaining parts, but not many LOL's.",6 "I found it hard to follow, bad acting, badly written. I had high hopes for season 2 but there was no improvement from the first one. The effects were good but not the dialog it could do with moving a bit faster.",2 "Two hours I'll never get back. Simply the worst film I can remember. The IMAX experience couldn't even save this stinker. I'm not entirely sure what I just watched. This film did a terrible job in its plot delivery. There was no character development at all. Nolan tried desperately and gambled in taking an eclectic approach to a war movie which ends up leaving the audience in a state of mass confusion. I hated it. I couldn't wait until the credits rolled so I could officially depart from the dumpster fire that this movie was. If you are expecting your typical heroes and villains war movie with cool battles and testosterone laden machismo, this is far from it. Dunkirk is a 2 hour expose of the mundane depressive state of war as if you were in it. Few action scenes. Little dialogue. Scattered confusing plot. Not sure how Nolan pitched the idea of having a de facto silent film World War II movie with no action or emotionally driven sub plot. You will be very sorry you went to see this. You've been warned.",1 A world you are not aware of. Nawazuddin is a treat to watch.,8 "There isn't a dull moment in this movie it's just like a great roller coaster ride from the beginning to the end..I mean you got great acting provided by great actors,you got great special effects and you even got a forced love story in between with Mélanie Laurent,I mean who can complain about that...but just picture this for a moment,take all the good actors and all the special effects from this movie,how does the story bare without those two factors helping? can you say it fulfills your expectations? did it give an answer to all the questions or enigmas? or it's just a pretty ride where there's not a moment where they let you actually think profoundly at what the hell it's actually happening? because when you do,trust me..the magic stops. Btw it can be said that it's like a good magic trick...enjoy it and don't think what or why,because when you do the magic stops.",6 "My headline pretty much sums up this movie. It has the usual problems - an autistic love of gore as a comedic device; Michael Bay style shooting and editing; politically correct female characters who can't wield firearms properly, despite being trained killers. Looks like a movie conceived by a team from the Marketing Department, rather than something created by film makers interested in plot, drama and action. The people who made this movie aimed low, but hit even lower.",3 "The first movie was pretty good, but this sequel is just too far out. They tried to make it like a horror film - cheesy fight scenes, corny dialogue, and too dark and spiritual for my liking. Disappointed in this one.",4 "Interesting mix of styles, quite watchable with minor fast-forward;) But c'mon now, why there are so many ugly artists? It should have emphasize something? They had increased concentration of them in 80s? Laughable and made a lot of scenes hard to believe, in terms of acting. Overall feels more like kids movie. It is not Steven King, folks. Lower your expectations. PS: nice OST.",3 RDJ shines again. Thats it! If we remove rdj from the movie IM2 has nothing to watch except the below average story!,5 "I was very excited to watch this movie, as i sat and watched these losers go to all this trouble to do some pointless mission, when they could have easily solved all this without going in someones dream. I just thought the Whole movie was over the top and i didn't care about any of the characters and o wanted them all to die, especially Juno. The story was stupid, no character development, everyone is afraid to say that this movie is boring and that people are still obsessed with that moronic dark knight movie. I think that if people would stop being so dazzled by special effects and watched the movie for what it really is they would see its just stupid and boring. If he knew how to make a good movie he would make it shorter. My main problem was that it was long, and everyone in it was acting poorly.",3 "If your not a fan of Steve Martin, Martin Short, or Selena Gomez, I honestly don't know why you would want to watch this. I watched five episodes, and got more and more bored. Tired old guys try and fail to make funny and/or intelligent observations about younger persons and/or society. Totally uninteresting characters, there's really no reason why I would want to know more about them. Quite a lot of embarrassing and/or pointless scenes that doesn't add anything, like the ""suspects audition"". Poor and really slow handling of the plot; e.g., what could have been interesting suspect twists are discarded after about two minutes with ""oh, he/she admitted to be lying, alright then, no longer a suspect"". Maybe drop some clues here and there, e.g., in flashbacks, that may make the viewer think and draw his/her own conclusions? No. A lot of cameos, unfortunately quite pointless, I can't think of anyone who actually added something more than the physical presence. The most fun I had was counting the number of times I thought ""was this supposed to be funny?"". But of course, if all that sounds appealing to you, then you're in for a treat.",2 "Must watch....Both first half and second half is extraordinary...looks like we have watched a hollywood flim...with lots of twisttings, comedies and thrilling...hats of to the director and story writter... everyone has done there best performance in this flim... especially vishnu 😍😍",10 The worst movie I think I have ever seen. . Except for two funny moments before I walked out of the room the movie was infuriatingly dull. Bill Murray just walked through his part. Can' imagine how it gets such a good review.,1 "Worth of your precious time ! Great acting, great direction, just amazing !!!",10 The whole season was amazing and it didn't disappoint.,8 "Hellboy meets Splash. Very surprised it was considered Oscar material. Nothing new, surprising or particularly thought-provoking. Nice to look at. Solid performances. Some great music on the soundtrack. Just a bit predictable.",5 "I was quite disappointed when I learnt that they hadn't cast Alexandra Daddario as Wonder Woman, but I'm over that now (not really, but I am slowly coming to terms with it). In lieu of Daddario, I guess Gal Gadot isn't a terrible alternative, but I doubt that the film would have been great whoever played the title role: the story, by Zack Snyder, is a by-the-numbers exercise in superhero banality, while director Patty Jenkins goes for CGI-laden style over substance, her film reliant on flashy overblown set-pieces in which our heroine proves totally impervious to harm, whether it be poison gas attack or being hit broadside by a flying tank. With Wonder Woman able to withstand any onslaught, the film is totally lacking in excitement. Having watched a handful of other DCU movies, including the recent over-rated effort that was Shazam!, I'm still waiting to be impressed. Casting David Thewlis as the villain definitely isn't the way to go... 4.5/10, generously rounded up to 5 for IMDb - Mindless generic popcorn superhero nonsense. Not totally unwatchable (Gadot being easy on the eye), but definitely unexceptional.",5 "Eight episodes in and I give up. Did you love the excitement, chocking twists, the amazing characters and bombastic scenes in Game of thrones? Well, there's nothing of that in here. But if you like a costume drama with dragons, lots of pointless dialogue and a plot that never seems to take off. Then this is for you! Of course one must compare it with Game of thrones! Who would ever care about this if it wasn't for Game of thrones? As other users already staded in their reviews, it seems like the producers wants a long runner. Maybe it starts off for real at season 3 or so. But there are too many good series to watch instead of this. So there won't be any viewers left by season 3.",1 "Subpar show even for Marvel's standards. The plot takes forever to get going, and when it finally does, the pay-off is minimum. The end of episode four slightly raised my expectations, but it all ended in mediocre action scenes and empty political messages. Eventually, it just felt like a lazy attempt to introduce further films and boost Disney+ subscriptions.",4 "Seriously struggled to finish the season to be honest. Its just a rehash of every other zombie franchise; resident evil, Walking dead, Evil dead, this show stands out in absolutely no meaningful or entertaining way. The only reason I started watching it is due to the rating, to which I foolishly thought its not going to be just another average zombie show. Maybe if you religiously played the game, this show hits a lot harder for you. If you have never played the game, and don't get intense euphoria from typical zombie shows, then maybe just avoid this one. The only reason I am posting this review is because of how out of touch the ratings are to the actual content, the helpful to unhelpful ratio on 10/10 reviews is more entertaining than the show.",2 "....Space. Oh goody, I thought to myself, another Sci-fi space series with ships, action and whatnot. It is another boring soap drama on Earth, pretending to be whatnot planet. They don't look very lost either. Can real sci-fi fans ahve something like Babylon 5, Farscape, Stargate, Star Trek ( Discovery is cr@p), etc, without boring soap drama.",3 "I can openly say that I've never been a great lover of sci-fi, but I was influenced by the very high rating of this film and the attraction of the Trailers to give it a good and honest viewing. All this in the hope of enjoying a few hours of cinema and further opening up of another genre for the future. Overall, I was disappointed and for the last hour was wondering what I'd do with my time if I walked out. I didn't and am happy that I didn't, but it's touch and go. I've seen a few great films recently that I would rate 8 and over, but this I've rated at 4. The filming is excellent and the earthly scenes are very good, but the story is very weak and the near ending is not good at all. The latter looks like the way to re-introduce him to his family had no prior plan, so they threw a load of electronic background at it. The actors sweating profusely in their air conditioned suits looked ridiculous to me. Some shouting during conversations matched by the quietness of their fellow actors seemed to be completely unnatural. I can't recommend this film and wish I'd spent the time watching something else. Pays yer money and takes yer chance !",4 "This movie grips your throat from the opening scene to the last cut. It's like leaning back in your chair just before you tip over. I love that the trailers do not do this film justice. Truly unsettling and horrifying. This movie grips your throat from the opening scene to the last cut.

Truly unsettling and horrifying.",8 "This is one of those films where a lot of nothing happens. Not exactly nothing, but there is a focus on the mundane, if that can be said in regards to anything during wartime. This is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I can name several films, especially international ones, in which this is the exact reason I love it. It did not really work in this film, though. The Good: * The best thing about this film is Hans Zimmer. Aside from the music, constant clock ticking creates the almost claustrophobic and every present fear in the film (Zimmer actually used a pocket watch belonging to Nolan). With very little dialogue, Zimmer's score is its own character. * Along with the score, the cinematography was gorgeous. Wide angle shots of the beach, dark colors, the mise en scène. The film was actually divided into three segmented colors; sky blue, dark blue, and orange, referring to the triptych plot of air, sea, and land, respectively. (Note: Continuing his advocacy for film over digital formats, Christopher Nolan chose to shoot the movie in a combination of 15/70mm IMAX film and Super Panavision 65mm film in order to achieve the maximum possible image quality. After The Master (2012) and The Hateful Eight (2015), Dunkirk (2017) was the third wide release motion picture of the current decade to be primarily shot and shown theatrically in 70mm. I was fortunate enough to see this version.) These two things set the tone and mode for the entire film. They made the film. The Bad: * I hate to admit that I was greatly disappointed. Nothing happened. It was depressing and depressing and sometimes that is a good thing. This is war, after all. There are other ways films that do this, but Nolan screws this up by trying to interweave all the stories. * Nolan always has admirable concepts, in theory. Lamentably, he then makes the mistake of being excessive with the special effects + unnecessary fancy tricks. His splicing of three different timelines and stories not only made watching it a little confusing, but killed the connections I could have felt with any characters. The film is told from three points of view: on the beach with the infantry, the evacuation by the navy (showing how civilians came to the rescue), and in the air. Speaking about the narrative structure in Premiere magazine, Christopher Nolan stated: ""For the soldiers who embarked in the conflict, the events took place on different temporalities. On land, some stayed one week stuck on the beach. On the water, the events lasted a maximum day; and if you were flying to Dunkirk, the British spitfires would carry an hour of fuel. To mingle these different versions of history, one had to mix the temporal strata. Hence the complicated structure; even if the story is very simple. Do not repeat it to the studio: it will be my most experimental film."" Although I have always and still do love Nolan's work, I refuse to play the cognitive dissonance game to convince myself that I loved this film for its artistic examinations of the desolation of war. 6/10",6 "This story of a man diagnosed as bipolar and released from psychiatric internment at a state institution after a few months there which led him to lose his job as teacher and his wife is rather uninteresting though the movie is well made, directed and acted. He was mandatorily interned because he has severely beaten his wife's lover and he was also mandatorily restricted of approaching or contacting her. Then he's got the obsession of recovering job and wife and tries do do it by somewhat awkward means. In the course of this he meets a woman with some psychological troubles also with whom he starts a supposedly friendly relationship since she apparently tries to help him to fulfill his aims. This story is weak, slack and lacks depth. The ending is too predictable to constitute a surprise. A movie to be seen for want of better only.",6 "As usual, netflix takes about 4.5 hours of story and tries to stretch it to more than twice that, to its detriment. not as noticeable here as in their marvel adaptations but still very apparent. netflix continues to think that people derive entertainment from shows like this through their character drama and endless ""talky-talky"" personal growth scenes. well, no. but if you like whiny babies doing whiny baby stuff, this might be the show for you.",6 "First off, it's beautifully shot and extremely well acted. In my eyes, Anya Taylor-Joy can do no wrong. So I'll have to blot this guff from my memory. The dialogue is so crushingly poor it's hard to believe. Characters (or rather stock cliches) blurt out lines so overwhelmingly contrived I could not contain my laughter. Every scene bludgeons you over the head with its mediocre intentions. It's incredibly repetitive and starved for ideas. I was about to say it flows like the product of a writer's fever dream, but it's more like their snooziest of naps. It commits the typical post-millennial crime of painting the recent past as a fantasy land where everyone is backwards. The first episode even spaffs out the line, ""Girls don't play chess."" I've never projectile-vomited towards a screen so hard in all my life. It's one of the single most predictable experiences imaginable and deeply, deeply stupid. Then again, it's a Netflix show and, as such, panders heavily towards an audience it assumes is as dimwitted as the writers. Judging by the rave reviews, they're right. Offensively trite.",1 "Hate to go against the consensus but I wasn't blown away by the conclusion to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. I admit I have something of an issue of identification with certain of the characters as I stopped reading the source comics before Bane came along. That said, in the trademark blockbuster, ""meet the villain"" opening scene, he makes a huge impression, spectacularly plane-jacking a scientist for his own ends. I just felt the plot was too fit-to-burst busy, cramming in major parts for Catwoman, Commissioner Gordon, who inexplicably comes on like a pensioner version of John McClain, Alfred (continuing the serious miscasting of Michael Caine, who really hams it up here), John Blake, the fearless young cop who we presume becomes Robin in this alternative universe and finally Miranda Tate who also morphs into a major enemy for Batman. No wonder the film runs an overlong two and a half hours. Speaking of whom, the titular hero himself doesn't appear himself until some 45 minutes in and probably gets less time in costume than all the other characters mentioned above. The convolutions of the plot, especially as it strains to complete the narrative circle of the trilogy, were a bit too much for me and while there were spectacular scenes like Bane's demolition of Gotham, the police pursuit of Batman on his new bendy-bike and his last gasp hauling away of the atom bomb, none of them really felt integral to the plot and just seemed how they looked, that is, bravura directorial set pieces. As for the conclusion or should that be conclusions as the film has several of them, the final fight between Batman and Bane just doesn't grip as it should (c.f. Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort to see how it should be done), with the big guy going down way too easily, Talia also expires with a whimper and the final bomb rescue belonged more in a Superman film. Regarding the new characters, Anne Hathaway made for a surprisingly sexy Catwoman although where she picked up her self-defence skills I don't know, Bane as I said flattered to deceive and Talia was here and gone in seconds. On the whole though, I struggled to get through this long movie and didn't really recognise ""my"" Batman in it. I look forward to the next reincarnation of one of my favourite comic book heroes but fear he's been backed into a corner by director Nolan's over-earnest approach. I hope he comes out the other end a little less tortured and battered and with a bit more lightness and action about him.",5 "When i say the movie is missing a lot of polish obviously not that much in the 3D department, that was of course fine. The story flow wasn't great, easily an hour of the movie could have been cut to make the story flow better. It's filled with way too much pure eye candy shots and tired tropes about family and bullies and being outcasts/freaks. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at these tropes. Its a trap too many film makers fall into: We are in a extra ordinary setting on a different planet and we fall back into covering social drama and not even smart social drama, but very generic one. Another small aspect was that much of felt like a cutscene from a video game. Camera movement was just too smooth, it felt very unnatural from following characters in third person to really hard zooms that started and stopped abruptly. At this point should i watch this movie again i know i will skip quite a bit of it.",3 "Freedom is something that we all want; the freedom to work, freedom to play and freedom to live life. But now that the NSA has been exposed to having been tracking your social media pages, email, and phone, there has been a split debate over whether we still have personal immunity. Some say that they don't mind the extra eyes as long as there being used to catch potential bad guys. But a lot claim that if we're being spied all the time, then doesn't that defeat the purpose of having private lives? How can we sleep knowing that the government could be looking at you or me as a threat to the country? I've always felt fine with the extra security as I have nothing to hide, but I can understand why others could feel compromised by their computer trails being tracked. They could hit the wrong link and that web history would forever be imprinted on you; maybe not on a computer, but in some possible super computer hidden is a military/government building. It's only conspiracy theory, but it's reasonable theory. The Marvel studios decided to take a stab at the whole government surveillance controversy in its latest superhero story, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Like the previous sequels of Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World, we see where Steve Rogers ""Captain America"" (played by Chris Evans) is after the events of The Avengers. He's currently residing in Washington D.C. where he works for S.H.I.E.L.D. as he struggles to adapt to a modern society. His latest mission has him, agent Natasha Romanoff ""The Black Widow"" (played by Scarlett Johansson), and other S.H.I.E.L.D. representatives to save one of their ships from Algerian pirates. The assignment proves successful, though the Captain finds Romanoff extracting information from a computer. He was not reminded of this objective and he starts to question the purpose of the mission. Top agent and leader of the avengers Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson) is ambushed by assailants as led by the mysterious Winter Soldier. Fury's seamless death leads the Captain to be question by senior S.H.I.E.L.D. official Alexander Pierce (played by Robert Redford). This causes the Captain to become a fugitive target from the agency he swore to help. He escapes from the headquarters to meet with Romanoff. They use information from a USB drive given to the Captain from Fury to lead them to an abandoned S.H.I.E.L.D facility that reveals that Hydra, the evil organization from the first Captain America movie is alive within S.H.I.E.L.D., secretly operating within the ranks to take over the world. When you really look at Captain America compared to the other heroes, all he really does is lead the others that have real super powers. The Captain only has enhanced strength, which made me question whether his films could work on their own. Captain America: The Winter Soldier crushed those assumptions by proving that the Captain just may be the most interesting avenger of all. He may be a strong fighter, but he's still scared and out of place within the modern world. Chris Evans proves again that he is the Captain; patriotic but never over the top and conservative, but open to letting people making an impression on him. Scarlet Johansson and Samuel Jackson deliver their promised performances with fun and chemistry. Redford takes a great turn in character that I can't give away. Unlike the first movie that was a nostalgia trip of WWII movies, here we have more of a modern espionage thriller turned blockbuster with a hint of political commentary. Captain America: The Winter Soldier took more chances with it's scenarios then the previous film, making this one much superior. It also delivers on the action, giving incredible fighting sequences that's more then shield throwing; it's good old-fashioned blunt fighting and martial arts. It goes with what it knows and finds ways to make them better. Get ready for two amazing sequences that are on par with The Avengers. I'll give this ten winter soldiers out of ten. Marvel and Disney continue to prove that they know their comic boo movies and I'll be ready to be watch the next one, Guardians of the Galaxy, on the opening night.",10 "This series starts so strong. It's creepy and the mystery is mind-boggling. But therein lies the problem. I haven't read the book, but sometimes I feel like Stephen King comes up with original premises and then can't really deliver the goods because he doesn't have a good explanation for the why and how. It just is so because the writer said so. So while this starts so strong, it falls apart for me because by the end, the reveals aren't that good.",5 "I just finished watching the third season. I grew up watching the original. This is completely different in some ways, but they manage to retain the best parts of the original, while charting their own new territory. They give us new reveals about the robots and Will's relationship with him even into the last episode. I found it to be an incredibly satisfying series to watch. We see character growth throughout with all the major characters and even some of the secondary ones. Hopefully some day we'll get another well conceived 3 season story arc, perhaps set 10 years in the future, since the kids will be older. They certainly left things open ended enough to do that.",9 "This move is not for everyone cup of tea, it has unique story telling style, cinematography, and story line. The will take you through a roller coaster ride and it will keep a smile on your face till the end. Everyone has acted amazing especially Pankaj Tripathi, oh what an actor he is. ""Life is Ludo and Ludo is Life"".",8 "While the movie was entertaining, thrilling, and was filled with great performances, I can't say that I loved this movie like so many social media warriors. ""Bird Box"" was very predictable and underwhelming. I'll have to say, I didn't hate this movie. There were parts that were pretty intense and then other parts that would drag, the latter being most of the movie. It takes place in a 5 year period where no climax seems to take place. Bouncing back from the present to the past making the past plot a little easy to see what was coming. Other than being filled with great actors and great cinematography I can't say this movie left me in awe. Other than the fact the main characters had to be blindfolded, this movie brought nothing new to the post apocalyptic table. While I respect this movie, as I see so many have loved it, I can't help but think that it's a great story, lousy script, and poorly executed. Again, I enjoyed this movie for the entertainment and glad it's free to watch on Netflix, because if this was in the theaters I probably would've walked out.",6 "Like many other reviewers, I loved this movie. It has been difficult to get me to sequels but this is one I am glad I have seen. Unlike many of the ""we must do a sequel for kids and box office"" films from studios of late, this one really has common sense. It shuts up all of those folks in the audience who don't have an imagination or think of entertainment as entertainment..or even a 'suspension of disbelief' theory. This IS Spiderman...human, conflicted, poor as heck but valant...and someone we can all identify with. And not only could we identify with Spiderman/Peter Parker, the ""villian"", Doctor Octopus was not a formula nut case as we have come to know in all summer blockbusters. He too...was very human. As was the rest of the gang. How refreshing. A great accomplishment for cinema. Excellent film, Good job. I can now say, I'm a fan!",10 "Confusing, boring, meaningless, the characters are all freaks with a tendency for evil, and at the end you just don't care anymore what is going on and just want this to end",1 "I didn't know about mistakes in the visuals and I understood before I saw it that Aldrich Ames was the spy but I still thought this was well done. Just because you know the ending doesn't mean it can't be suspenseful. Anyway, I thought everybody was good in this show and I looked forward to the next episode. It beats the heck out of the junk on TV about amateur performers, morons getting dates, fat people losing weight and people falling off things. If you want something with a good story you usually end up on HBO or Showtime. I'd like to thank ABC for showing the remaining episodes. I appreciated that. Even if it was a weird time. You have to love timers.",10 Movies goes no where it's all over the place and makes no sense. Was really excited to watch it and it was so bad I turned it off 30 minutes in. It was so bad this is my first review I've ever watched. Reminds me of the great rating for safety not guaranteed which turned out to be horrible as well.,2 Spellbounding experience and a movie so accurate in its details with balanced diet pf patriotism and realism !,10 "The first couple of episodes were... strange. But we like strange. Anything that ends up being a memorable experience starts out as something we don't understand. However, as the episodes goes by, it becomes apparent that this magic trick, with its elaborate setup, is just the usual sleight of hands that have been done to death already. It plays right into the superhero tropes that we were hoping it would subvert. And in the last 2 episodes, I think it really falls apart, and fails to even be that, by introducing villains and new powers that seem to distract the plot pointlessly from the central theme. It's a patched up random mess, that tries to be too much and ends up being nothing.",6 "This show's villain is freaking top tier. He's a breath of fresh air in the Shonen world. You're gonna realize pretty soon how different this guy is from the other delinquents. How he uses his brain to get what he wants and how he manipulates others to do his dirty work. You're gonna wish him an horrible death many times, trust me. But he'll captivate you, always leaving you wondering what his next move will be. Give this show a shot...and you'll witness arguably the best villain of the New Generation.",5 "I rarely give any movies an excellent rating but this one did it. One day I was bored and decided to give Claymore (English dubbed) a try via Netflix. Oddly enough the plot and poster art were average at best. Almost instantly your hooked into a world of demons and female warriors (aka Claymores). But its not your typical anime with female sword wielding half human warriors. Gone and are the zany/kid type humor and instead you get adult story lines and characters. I was soo hooked I watched 12 episodes straight. My only complaint is that sometimes its hard to distinguish the different Claymores since they all look alike. Its been a long time since I've been shocked by a film (or TV series) with such good quality. Only after a day of watching I can confidently say this is my #2 anime show/series of all time which was formally held by Robotech. Claymore is right below Transfomers G1 1980's stuff(not that Bay crap). In an odd way I'm nervous about watching the remaining episodes because at this pace its possible that Claymore could become #1 for me. Which is an odd feeling considering I've only watched half the season in one day and TF G1 I watched my entire childhood. Update. Finally finished the series. Suffice to say it stayed at #2 of my list of all time best anime. The final couple of episodes kind of got repetitive and the final scene / resolution could've been better.",9 "Holy hell this was good. Im not really a big anime fan, but i recommend it strongly. Even though you already know that nothing'd happen to the strongest man, that doesn't mean you won't be on a senseless edge for many parts. The humor is on point, the music is good, the animation is good, and the plot is thicker than my own ass, which is pretty hard. The only reason this isn't 10/10 is because of this one girl who looks 11 but she's 29? I don't trust like that. But i should also say that because i saw it on Netflix i only got season 1, and i've heard season 2 was much worse, so i can't really speak on that.",9 "Sometimes, the message behind a story like this can't be explained. It can't be articulated properly. Sometimes, you just need to see it for yourself and take from it what was intended. Everyone is here for a reason, and Hannah's wasn't to commit suicide and glorify an act that devastates the lives left behind. If you see glory in what she did, then you're not looking at the full picture. Because while her death united kids at her school who had beforehand never been friends; while it wove strength and love between the individuals left behind who blamed themselves for what she did, it also left a hole in their hearts and lives that can never be filled by another person. And while the hurt will slowly fade as the years pass, Hannah's choice will forever hang over them.",9 "Really refreshing. I am a big fan of DareDevil. After watching 3 episodes, so far find the story/screenplay absolutely original, dare I say better than DareDevil! Give it a chance.",9 "First of all, why did you feel the need to put us through the first three episodes? It was exhausting! There was no need to make them so long and detailed. All you needed was to include a few easter eggs in one episode and that's it! I almost gave up. Then, episodes 4-6 were such a thrill that I couldn't wait for the next one! They were perfect - insightful, smart, inventive and finally, it all came together. Why would you ruin that by adding random hero abilities and unnecessary characters? I mean, a witch? Seriously?! It's so DC-like, they add everything in the movie hoping that something will stick and will be a selling point so they end up creating a huge mess. Focus, people! You can do better.",6 "If this movie wasn't so hyped then I would have given it a better score, it was boring. None of characters have any character arches, and it was really just not interesting.",4 "First season pretty good , second season poor. Too much dialogue and a boring storyline. I think the budget was cut drastically for season two.",6 "The movie Bridge of Spies was an alright watch. However, I do enjoy how they starred Tom Hanks. I feel as if he played his role well in the movie. Tom Hanks, also known as James Donovan in the film, was a lawyer. The plot is about the exchange of a Russian spy caught in the US, Rudolf Abel, for Gary Powers, the US air force pilot who is caught with spy cameras. The exchange involves two Americans for 1 Russian and is negotiated by a Corporate lawyer, James Donovan. I found this to be quite interesting because I've never watched a movie like this before. My only problem with the movie is the lack of action. As well as the large amounts of dialogue because this caused a little slow pace in the movie, which resulted in it being a little boring. But if you enjoy watching Tom Hanks, I would recommend watching this film to see if you like him in this type of movie or not.",3 "I'll be brief on the premise itself... Fantastic opening scenes followed by suspense and surprise throughout the early episodes leaving you on the hook for the finale... Madden and Rundle and Hawes are outstanding and supported by very competant performances by Bowmand and McKee amongst others. Sadly... Tandon's acting in a key character was flat and emotionless yet worse still Nina Toussaint-White 's portrayal of the DS Louise Rayburn was irritating, sporadic, ill conceived and just plain wrong. Toussaint-White can obvioulsy act but her attempts at playing the ridiculous character of Rayburn just didn't belong and detracted from the key scenes constantly. The achilles heel of this production is clear for anyone... If you maker a thriller based upon actual realities and roles within society, or in this case specifically central government and law enforcement, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not turn it into a ridiculous soap style twist and turn fiasco more akin to a sci-fi production. If watching a sci-fi or supernatural thriller you expect to see the unbelievable, but a thriller set today in actual positions within actual agencies should at the very least has some semblance of realism. Bodyguard sadly is lost to its own laughable plot backfires, shamefully flawed scenes of real life scenario's, and its utter utter patronising execution of police and security service protocols. In one late scene viewers will be frustrated to distraction by poor scripting in a key scene that will leave the common man, or woman, scratching their heads thinking why, why, WHY(?!) ruin this potetnially fantastic thriller with juvenile errors of judgement throughout. Did the production company or writer actual seek advie from professionals on anything? I think not. Call me and i would do the job for free so that a serious politcially based thriller can be just that and celebrated for its factual accuraciesas well as suspence. Pfft...",7 "After the underwhelming Dark Knight Rises, its director now brings us ""Interstellar."" Although it's an exceptionally photographed movie, it painfully lacks depth in its story and characters, which were all very forgettable. The only things i enjoyed about this movie were the production design, costume design, and visual effects. The music was one of the worst scores I've ever heard...WOW. Some parts of the movie are over dramatic to the point where its laughable. The characters were not believable. I was not convinced with Matthew McConaughey's performance as a NASA pilot at all. In terms of the story it was really, really, really stupid. Hmmmm....let's see. The world is going to end...What else is new. Let's find the best Nasa Pilot in the world. Great, we found a farmer who also happens to be the greatest NASA pilot in the world. Oh, by the way, it just happens that the spaceship is already built, equipped and ready to go with a crew. Awesome let's Go! Oh while on our mission let's tell the audience everything in exposition terms even the ones they heard about time travel from the past syfy movies again. Great. Let's also use a twilight zone twist with Matt Damon's character too. Awesome. Oh and let's have M. Night Shyamalan direct the ending with his signature twist. Great. Now let's loop it back to the beginning of the movie. WOW. Really, really, really Stupid. Unfortunately Nolan and Zimmer crap the sheets again like they did on the Dark Knight Rises.",3 "When the movie got to its most intense scene by the end, I rewinded it countless times in the hopes of watching it just a single time without my feet or lower legs being stimulated against my will, however, no matter how many times I rewinded it, they were stimulated against my will each and every time, driving me into an angry frustration. Even after leaving the movie for several hours and attempt to watch it again, they (whomever does it) wouldn't allow me to watch that scene without attacking my lower legs and feet. Finally I was able to watch it after I stood up from the chair, and watched it while standing instead of sitting. It's as though they try to force it upon me that I wouldn't be allowed to watch an (emotionally) intense scene while sitting in a relaxed position. I don't understand why I wouldn't be allowed to watch movies normally and comfortably just like any person would.",1 "This movie is exhausting! Sandler always manages to find roles playing an idiot, this time he plays an idiot jewller jew. I was mesmirized at the opening but after an hour I just wanted to cut my wrists, so I stopped.",2 Great narrative with funny caracters. Very entertaining and smart. Each caracter brings something to the story. Classic murder plot with a modern twist and great music. Waiting for season 3!,10 "Ughhh... what boring contrived garbage! I'm not atall fan of this new highly-politicised Tarantino. His better work was up to and including Kill Bill, and since then he just kept getting more and more heavy-handed with the Hollywood political schlock. Inglourious Basterds was entertaining and well made sure, but the Nazi stuff felt very grubby, anachronistic and Hollywood-pleasing. Same goes for Django Unchained, also entertaining but very much pushing the modern Hollywood narrative, and very anachronistic. Hateful Eight was okay, decent enough for one viewing but obnoxiously slow, and not rewatchable atall. Again, very politically charged and anachronistic. Then comes Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. Only a few minutes into the film and I was already unimpressed and bored with the flowery self-indulgent dialogue. And then comes that Nazi scene. Ughhh. What is it with Hollywood needing to pump out endless Nazi-killing schlock? It's so boring and contrived. If Tarantino actually had some guts and went for some over the top Jew-killing stuff, just to balance it out, would Hollywood be as eager to lather him with 10 Oscar nominations like they've just now on with Once Upon? Probably not. Since Kill Bill, I had hoped that Tarantino would continue to at least try to produce interesting and different movies, but sadly he became infected with the same fungus that engulfs pretty much all of Hollywood these days. The kind of fungus that likes to poke fun at specific people and get praised for it, but never has the guts to poke fun of other types of people that seem to be protected. I'm specifically talking about the trend of making mockery and bad guys out of White people, but never Black people or Jewish people (who are always the victims). Nazis are always the bad guys, and never the good guys. Americans and Jews are always the good guys and never the bad guys. Don't even dare proposing a film which challeneges this narrative, or you could end up in jail. The only places you can see German perspectives during WW2 are in heavily-suppressed documentaries, and never in mainstream media. Why is this? This year there are two movies nominated for the Best Film oscar which involve Nazi-killing and mockery (Once Upon, and Jojo Rabbit). I challenge Tarantino to have some guts, and make a movie about Nazis being the good guys. No mainstream filmmaker has ever done this. Tarantino could be the one filmmaker actually with enough clout to pull it off. Dig into actual history and tell it like it really happened, not how the victors have rewritten history to portray themselves as the good guys and the Nazis as monsters, when Germany's actions were in self-defense against the combined superpowers of the age (Russia, America, France, UK, and Rothschilds). I say all this as a keen student of history, with a desire for a more balanced understanding of recent history to become mainstream, instead of the endless garbage and falsehoods that Hollywood churns out.",4 "As a whodunit, it's predictable, but that's not the point. This is all about having some fun along the way - about finding humour in awkwardness, about pushing some shallow characters beyond breaking point and enjoying watching them bumble their way through, never far from disaster. It's a classic diversion, and accomplishes this very well. So put the magnifying glass away Sherlock and have some fun. Steve Martin is at his best when he can't stand up and Martin Short is at his when he's obnoxious. In this show they make fun of themselves to good effect.",8 "Season 1 brilliant, season 2 good, season 3 was alright, ani was an unnecessary character but I wouldn't say it was as bad as everyone is saying.",9 "The idea of a Venom film has always been an exciting prospect. Add a good director, strong cast and on paper this film should tick the boxes. But it is let down by a painfully agonising script filled with cringey humour, flat characters, and an extremely underwhelming finale. Tom Hardy is pretty good as Eddie Brock, a few scenes are hit and miss but he shines as Vemom. The banter most of the time between Eddie and Venom hits. Michelle Williams is fine as the love interest but I feel she wasn't given a lot to work off which is a shame as she turns out to be someone who is just there. Riz Ahmed puts up a fine performance as the villain Carlton Drake but again it's the writing that holds him back from being an interesting antogonist. He ends up being an evil businessman fed up of human beings, nothing new there. Action scenes are fine, some cool moments in fact which usually lead to someone's head coming off which was bloody entertaining. Overall I can say I had fun with the film but for the wrong reasons. This film was a huge missed opportunity and although a sequel will probably happen I'm not that excited for it. I must say the end credit scene is pretty darn good except for that last line (again the writing). 5/10 seems a fair score for this blunder.",5 Well directed real story... Really movie is based on the soilders and their hard work,10 Love the show and seeing where it is going but can anyone explain why we need 7 minutes of credits for every episode,9 "You can literately watch the last 10 min of every episode after episode 2 and not miss a single story beat. The great rating this show got is from people who only watch the first 3 ep. I guess because there is not really any story in their travel its mostly watching back and talking about who they are there are not really any showing. Hear a lot say the game was action packed but this is so slow. Most episode consist of people just talking about the same: the world has ended"" crap we have seen a 100 times. The acting is ok not great, story not really there, the sets are ruin down houses after the first 2 ep. And look just like every other show. The Monsters look awesome but does not really have any screen time per ep. 7.",4 "There is no arc of story development or plot progression . No captivating screenplay.Long periods of tedium with sulky dialogue interspersed with wolverine or his feral minion child slicing people. Copy and paste several times and you have the film in its entirety. I am by no means averse to well filmed gore , but it is senselessly included in this film as it does not enhance or progress the (meagre)story line. . There are absolutely no plot twists or any suspenseful moments . The plot is mostly static and you can pretty much predict the scenes after the first 15 minutes . A TOTAL waste of time and money .",1 "I've seen ""The Dark Knight"" at least five times now and it's safe to say that the emperor has no clothes. This movie has very little going for it. The script is more silly than anything else (with a glaring omission towards the end). It has one uninteresting character after another. The cast is mostly dull. Heath Ledger's ""great"" performance has more to do with his makeup than anything else. There is a stretch of about about twenty minutes in the second half that always grabs my attention but it's not enough to save the movie. The problem with ""The Dark Knight"" is a fatal one. If you don't care about the characters, you don't care about the movie. Dishonorable mention: a bland Maggie Gyllenhaal.",5 The show is good. And the guy is ridiculously hot. Win/Win,8 "I was shocked reading some of the reviews on here knocking Jennifer Lawrence's performance as cold and emotionless. This is how she's supposed to act as she is, she's lost everything and has become numb. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and despite Jennifer not 'perfecting' the Russian accent as so many mention on here it is a difficult accent to learn so give the girl credit for the way she played the role! I can't fault this film, it's a spy thriller so don't listen to the critics and give it a chance.",10 """TEAM IRON MAN"" After the wonderful and glorious Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Russo Brothers did it again! Captain America: Civil War is another prosperous entry in the MCU pantheon with thought-provoking themes, cutting edge VFX, mind-blowing action sequences, accompanied by an array of Marvel's popular superheroes. Captain America: Civil War is an emotional rollercoaster and a stealth Iron Man film and also a mini Avengers film. The script is marvelous and the performances of each characters has so many depth and we can feel that in each scenes.",9 "I really enjoyed season 1 of this series. I found the stories very well written and extremely funny. The characters of Crowley and Aziraphel had actually interesting (imaginary) roles in the history of humans and the two of them got along in a sort of comfortable tension. Then the show runner and writer Neil Gaiman ruined the entire thing with extreme left-wing narratives and story lines. There was absolutely no need for it, either. Why add a male store owner who just happens to be married to a cross-dressing man as well as two gay woman (one who is also in a committed relationship with another woman) as main characters? There's no reason for it in the story, it's just to shove more of this type of garbage down our throats in an attempt to normalize the behaviors. I'm very disappointed that David Tennant and Martin Sheen went along with this type of junk. If you liked the first season, don't bother with the second. You'll only be disappointed.",5 "I have been a science fiction fan since I was 12 and first discovered Issac Asimov in my school library, so I do give this a little break just because I love sci fi. A few tweaks and this could be better. The John Williams - type music has got to go. Anytime music needs to tell me I need to feel joy, love or fear means the writing can't carry things. Tighten up the writing and you won't need the over-wrought soundtrack. Parker Posey is amazing but her character is so despicable that I'm not sure why she would still be around - there are no redeeming qualities. Maureen Robinson's character is too self-righteous and too know-it-all to be likable or relatable. Will is great. Despite all that, I will keep watching... I'm a sucker for science fiction.",5 "The first season is great but then it gets dumber and dumber. The second season wasn't as good as the first but it was watchable but the third season is terrible. It's full of stupid things and cringe scenes, the dialogues are bad and also the acting is worse. First Season 8/10, second season 5/10, third season 1/10.",2 "When the trailer first came out, it didn't do much for me. It appeared to be just another generic thriller. However, I gave it a go one late night when I couldn't go to sleep and was immediately drawn in after the amazing title sequence. Not only does it set the tone for this 80's-inspired series by using the famous Stephen King book title font, but the theme track combined with the hypnotic movements of the letters falling into place is a pure joy to watch. ""Stranger Things"" manages to give just enough answers to all our questions while at the same time giving us reason to want more. Unlike a lot of other shows these day, it is simple but effective at telling its story lines. There are a lot of nostalgia and references to the 80's childhood for the target audience to dwell in. Although the child actors aren't that great, their performances are innocent and heartfelt. Millie Bobby Brown however gives an amazing performance and I am sure we will see much more of her acting in the future. The episode run time of 40 minutes is ideal. These days it's hard to find anything else than comedy with a laughing track that keeps it so short. Unfortunately the show is over really fast too, but nothing good ever lasts, does it.",8 "Explosive (no pun intended) 2nd season compelled me to write a review. Came here only to find triggered people from certain religious belief leaving low ratings. What do you get when people behind Masaan, gangs of wasseypur, trapped and other such Marvel's of Indian cinema band together? You get this tense, suspenseful, high octane series with heart which doesn't pull it's punches. The acting is getting most praises which is earned but there are some shots that have been pulled off by the DoP you've never seen on Indian screens. Yet they are subtle. The use of colors in background and placement of frame is so well thought out. Editing could've been tighter and if there is one negative I can say about this is, it wasted such good actors like Kalki Koechlin and Ranveer Shorey by giving them important roles but such one dimensional characters on a show where even the martyred cop's widow's character is so fleshed out. But I think there will be season 3 and we will see more in depth involvement of these characters where they can shine. On Netflix it has English audio and Hindi subtitles along with standard English subtitles so that international audience can enjoy it too.",9 "The beginning of the movie was really great: it did not mess around for too long and it went almost straight to the point, which in this case worked really well in my opinion. The idea of the monster is good, and it starts off great, but then for me it is just a mess: the film cannot figure out what the monster can or can not do which is really frustrating sometimes. Sandra Bullock is amazing in her role, but her companion Tom (as a character) is just pure creepyness and cringy behaviour all aroud. Long story short: the first part was ok, then the plot developed lazily and went basically nowhere in the end, and the climax, as I mentioned the thing about not being really clear about the abilities of the monster, was dull. Watch it for yourself, because it has some cool ideas, but dont get really disappointed at the end",5 "No insane person gives this piece of trash 8 ratings.. It doesn't even deserve 1 rating after eposide 5... It seems someone got paid in cash to manipulate ratings. After episode 5, there is no reasons to watch and waste your valuable time. Changes in cast and inconsistent in story line is just sick of this series.. Most ratings were probably done in first few episodes which were consistent with GOT but after change of cast and sick storyline there after -- it's nothing more than opera soap.. Who lame gives 8 ratings for such useless series is beyond human understanding but we clearly know it's a scam done by directors, just earn money by people who paid them in billions to cast in the movie..",1 "I can't understand the good reviews for this show. I agreed with most reviewed it honestly. I had to laugh at the person that gave it 5 stars noting a geographical error. Is that really the reason you gave it a 5? That is like people that leave negative reviews for a product on Amazon that was received broken during shipment. That is not an actual evaluation of the product! I agree completely with the viewer that wrote ""If Lifetime got a hold of an AMC script."" But even the script is badly written. I didn't find any of the actors to be believable in any way. I don't buy that Rick even got into the CIA to begin with, my God he's so transparent and shifty it's like a farce of some sort. And why the heck would his girlfriend be SO EXTREMELY upset when he confesses that he doesn't work at the state department that he is actually CIA? Seriously? HE IS SUPPOSED TO LIE TO YOU...IT'S KIND OF HIS JOB! It's like she has no concept of national security which is not believable when she herself works at an embassy. I am interested to know just how historically accurate this show is considering how amateurish these CIA agents seem to be. The intensity of invasive vetting, background checks, physical and mental examination then continues through employment should have weeded people like Rick out. In fact aside from the president, the CIA has the most intense hiring process in America. Also, Grimes home life felt forced with the rebellious teen and the understanding and supportive husband. Her husband is so syrupy sweet I could barely stand it and do we believe that at this point in their marriage she even has to keep saying ""You know I can't tell you that.""",3 "This is one of those films teenagers can see and then feel like they've seen a meaningful movie with great action scenes and grown-up themes, a movie that seems to present deep moral philosophies and it has the additional benefit of a cast that has real acting credentials. All in all, I suspect teens will rave about this movie as one of the best of all time. In reality, TDK shows what Christopher Nolan can - and can't - do with a big budget. He wallows in his own zeitgeist, stuck in the quicksand of his creativity and unable to hone & polish a slush fund of ideas and concepts about explosions, car chases, the rantings of a killer called The Joker, and the fortitude of a hero called Batman. The movie drags on and on and on looking for its core, but never finds it. Ultimately, all it finds are the excuses it needs for the special effects. Heath Ledger's performance is outstanding, but then his character is the only one in the film that has much of anything to say and, since he's a caricature, he can ham it up to his heart's desire. Character development is not high on the priority list. The supposed romance between plain-faced boring Rachel and Batman is like a red herring, serving what purpose I could not see. But then, plot development isn't a high priority for this story, either. There is a weak attempt to bring a mob crime boss into the plot as an accomplice to The Joker, and an even weaker sub-plot about moving money to Asia, but all of this is treated so superficially you can see how Nolan just doesn't have the artist's discipline to edit out unnecessary footage. He thinks *everything* he writes and films is important, forgetting that the mature audience is not looking for a ride on his ego trip. TDK has the look of a storyboard or perhaps a comic: blocks of scenes, dialogue, and graphics. It lacks the fluidity of true drama that is paced with suspense and emotional connections between characters. It lacks the wit that is absolutely necessary to make a fantasy entertaining and involving. It is overwrought, overlong, and bloated by its self-importance. But because it's Batman on a big budget and has little competition and critics are starved for something to praise, it will sell.",4 "Unfortunately, this has to be one of the most disappointing miniseries I have seen in recent memory. It is painful to watch and trying to get through each episode feels like submitting oneself to be tortured, only to start all over again once the previous session concludes. I mostly feel sorry, actually more like ashamed, for Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce for being part of such a nauseous mess. This ""limited series"" (it actually felt interminable while watching) is a rotten apple to the core and a perfect example of throwing everything but the kitchen sink into it.. Honestly there is no point wasting more time on this...beware and watch at your own peril!",3 "The show is so well written and acted. I actually watched some of Jessica Jones before Daredevil and I enjoyed it. I thought Daredevil would be of a similar quality, but nope. This is on another level, and genuinely a great show regardless of whether you're a Marvel or superhero fan or not. I'm gutted to learn it has been cancelled. Please Netflix - this is one show that deserves to be kept alive!",9 "Written and Directed by: Ashutosh Gowariker. Starring: Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai. Music: AR Rahman. A young boy named Jalaluddin stands on a war front In 1555AD India to be crowned as the new Moghul Emperor after the death of his Father Humayun. The ministry wages the war and defeats the rival King. They bring him in front of the new emperor and ask him to behead the defeated King. Only to find that the young emperor recognizes that disgrace is worse than a death and denies following the orders. This young boy grows up to become Jalaluddin Muhammad (Hrithik Roshan) Akbar (as honored by his country eventually). He marries a Hindu Rajput's daughter Jodhaa Bai (Aishwarya Rai). How? You will find it out. Jodhaa-Akbar is a story of love between a husband and a wife after they get married. Given some exposure to Akbar's learning curve to understand the common man in his country with the help of his wife's thoughts and philosophy this movies tries to connect the dots between a husband and his wife and an Emperor and his people. The first winner of this movie is writer-director Ashutosh Gowariker. Making a comeback after a highly spiritual Swades (2004) Ashtosh may not have as appealing story as Swades but the love in Jodhaa Akbar cannot be denied. He brings in different shades of connections between the two like the first time Hindu vegetarian meal for Akbar, a sword fight or a confession of love in a room lit by setting sun. Gowariker handles these facets very carefully by taking his time to create an atmosphere. He is one of the young directors with his own vision that he follows. The next one on my list is Hrithik Roshan. With a muscular physique and eyes full of emotions his portrayal as an Emperor with roots of humanity is something to look for. An emperor slowly learning about the people around him and eventually following his heart and philosophies is a very good character to be seen. His fight with his ownself to understand Jodhaa is convincing. Not to forget Aishwarya Rai as Jodhaa bai. Personally I haven't been able to appreciate her beauty in a long time since maybe Aur Pyar Ho Gaya (1997). I have saved the best for last and that is Mr AR Rahman. His background score and musicals like 'Jashn-e-bahaar' and 'In lamho ke' are appreciable. But 'Khwaja' is something beyond great or extraordinary. The prayer and appeal by sufi singers to the priest are nothing short of 'magical'. You will be drawn into the prayer just like the emperor when he gets up and shows his excitement to God. Wow!!! Independent movies are said to be daring and courageous. Jodhaa Akbar may not be an Independent creation but it is a period movie with a magnitude that perhaps was last seen in K. Asif's Mughal-E-Azam released in 1960. It took 48 years for Bollywood to make a movie like this so in that sense it is a daring and courageous effort. My Rating: 9/10.",9 "I really liked that movie about ""taming"" the wolves. As we know that dogs are the human's best bud, watching a story about how that happened was heartwarming and made me feel sth. Although this movie wasn't that popular, it is definitely worth watching!",7 "Argo is a good movie, but it is a question whether or not Argo harbors anything special. This is a movie about a Canado-American mission to exfiltrate 6 US embassy workers during the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979. It is a somewhat original subject matter, but there has already been a direct-to-TV movie about it. The performances are good but none stand out, except perhaps for John Goodman who appears in the movie only for a short time. The dialogue is solid too and has a few humorous phrases, but not brilliant in any particular way. Cinematography is also good. The makers nail the late 70s aesthetic, like haircuts and glasses and cars. The camera work is solid and it seems designed to increase the feeling that the viewer is there, with a lot of close ups and slight shaking caused by camera being held in the hands a lot. Shots of things quickly passing by make you feel anxious like one of the hiding embassy workers. It successfully creates the tension, which is what this movie is all about. The same tension is unfortunately damaged for anyone who knows the history of the Iranian hostage crisis and therefore knows how the movie ends. There is a part of the movie when the whole operation is called off. Oh no! How will they ever?..Oh, right... It is like the movies invites viewers who are politically interested enough to watch a political thriller like this one but not interested enough to have checked the history of the event. It would be better if these story was completely fictional so that the tension could have remained undisturbed by reality. This is ironic because the movie takes a number of freedoms with the actual story, like giving most of the credit to the Americans for the mission, which actually makes the movie part fiction. Should have gone all the way... Having said that, it is a testament to this movie's quality that the movie still manages to make the story interesting and tense enough. The biggest surprise of this film is perhaps that such a good movie could be directed and acted by Ben Affleck, who had left a bad impression in some people's minds with some of his previous acting jobs, but this surprise alone does not merit a great movie. Argo is then a fairly tense, well paced and well directed film. That is all.",7 "Great actors, music, cars. Baaaaad bad script. Baaaaad bad movie",5 This film is well threaded and not many flaws are showing. Colourful characters fill the story that goes from a bad idea to worse. Greed and psychopathy do not mix well. Spellbinding!,9 One of the best movie in South india. The way the story potrayed is fantastic with regular twists. Super story,10 "More than your run of the mill action movie, and a level of violence and gore to rival John Wick. Entertaining, and a must see for Ryan Reynolds fans.",6 Had to stop watching after the impression that I had seen this plot or story several times. It is the typical action driven characterless formula. A shame because this could have made something important of this Iran real history based film.,5 "I mean I enjoyed it, it's something everyone should see only to make their own opinions about. I feel it's something you either LOVE or feel completely indifferent about. Above average for me!",8 "From Steve McQueen, director of one-word, underrated masterpieces such as Hunger and Shame, comes this slavery epic starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Fassbender. The film follows Solomon Northup, a free man living with his family in New York, after he is tricked, kidnapped, and then sold into slavery. For 12 years he was degraded and tortured- both physically and mentally. His terrifying journey begins with working for Master Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch), a kind slave owner; as kind as a slave holder can be. Solomon's journey then leads to him to owner Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender), a crazed, overly-religious, cruel owner. Solomon must muster up all the strength he has and never give up hope, for if he surrenders and accepts the position he is in, even if he survives he will never live. Back in 1993, Steven Spielberg directed the cinematic masterpiece Schindler's List. The incredible film took an unflinching look at the Holocaust and the sheer brutality of the Nazis. The film took home 7 Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Film of the Year. Since then, many movies have taken a realistic, terrifying look at the Holocaust; for instance, The Boy with the Stripped Pajamas and Inglourious Bastards. However, no Holocaust film has lived up to the unwavering storytelling of Schindler's List. 12 Years a Slave is not about the Holocaust, but it's aggressive look at slavery is just as awe-inspiring. I have been somewhat of a fan of director Steven McQueen for a while now, even since I experienced Hunger. His directing is unlike anything I've ever seen, the stillness and steadiness of some of his movies is hauntingly beautiful. The best thing about McQueen is that he can really get amazing, realistic performances from his actors. From the extremely underrated Chiwetel Ejiofor, to a cameo performance from Brad Pitt, the ensemble in this film was phenomenal. Everyone had an important part to play and everyone did an outstanding job, particularly Ejiofor. Before watching this movie, I had quite the conundrum when it came to who should win best actor. Tom Hanks did an amazing job as Captain Phillips in Captain Phillips, it looked like Matthew Mcaughnahy is continuing his incredible career improvement in Dallas Buyer's Club, and I'm one of those people who thinks it's absolutely ridiculous that Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't won an Academy Award yet, so I was hoping for the best with The Wolf of Wall Street. I had no idea who should win, now I do. Chiwetel's performance as Solomon Northup was undoubtedly the best this whole year. He is incredibly powerful and sympathetic, and he makes you hope and pray the character will survive this horrific ordeal. The amount of fear and turmoil he can convey with just a single look is mesmerizing. And I highly doubt he is the only actor who will bring home the golden statue for this movie. Michael Fassbender, playing the ruthless Edwin Epps, also delivers one of the best performances this year. He's a villain who lacks any sort of redemption, much like Ralph Fienne's performance in Schindler's List. His purpose in the movie is for the audience to hate and despise him, and it's safe to say they achieved their objective. Then there is novice actress Lupita Nyong'o, playing Patesy, a slave on the Epps plantation that Edwin has an attraction towards. Her performance, even though she only shows up half way through the movie, is one of the most memorable. Every single actor did an astonishing job, and they all deserve to be recognized for it. Then we get to the writing, one of the most crucial parts of any motion picture. At first, when I heard that the screenwriter was going to be the same writer of Red Tails and Undercover Brother, I was terrified. Both films were terribly written and it would be unfortunate for a movie with this amount of potential to fall apart due to an inconsistent script. Luckily, the writing was superb as well. The characters were well fleshed out and the pacing was hauntingly realistic. Solomon Northup's true story is an incredible one full of courage and strength, it's nice to see the film adaptation does it justice. Overall, 12 Years A Slave is the quintessential slavery epic. Thanks to Steve McQueen's harrowing, realistic direction, the lead actor's powerful and heart wrenching performance, 12 Years A Slave is, without a doubt, the most incredible film of 2013, and one of the best ever made. It's fair to say it more than deserves such a prestigious title.",8 "I'm not really sure what they are doing here. Are they saying Frank was in Afghanistan and the Army killed his family? And he still hates the mob? Was this all covered in Daredevil almost two years ago? Even with this confusion, the show has been pretty good so far. The murders have all been really gruesome, better than most horror movies. In the first episode he kills so many people with a hammer that I thought I might be watching Thor. I haven't seen the whole season yet but the first few episodes are really good.",7 The ending left everyone wondering what they had just wasted 2 hours of their life on. The first half was very good!,4 "Poor writing, naturalistic and violent scenes with absolutely no emotional load, mediocre acting, practically no story. This show has none of the things that made GoT fun to watch. There is nothing to hold on to, nothing to remember and certainly nothing that I would like to watch again. Pick one character, scene, piece of dialog you found least least pleasing from the first GoT season, It will still run circles around what this show has to offer. The idea behind it seems to be: Fling money, dragons, authors name, familiar opening credits and some motifs at them. They will gobble it up so fast they will choke on it. It is sad the bar is set so low that this show receives 8.5+ ratings. It is an insult to so many great shows made to this date.",1 "I can't believe this movie was over a decade in the making and the storyline and character development was some of the WORST i've seen in a movie. What threw us off was the focus on the kids and their story (also why is that kids name spider? So cheesy). The kids also came off really annoying and I didn't even care if anything happened to them. What kind of character development is that? Halfway through the film we gave up and didn't even finish it. A complete waste of money to make this movie - to be visually stunning with no substance to the story? Don't waste your time. I feel sorry for anyone who had to sit through it in theaters...",2 "At about the 2h mark Jennifer decided to change her hair colour and go blonde, for a moment I held out some home that she'd change her hair style as well and get rid of the fringe. Sadly not. Wherever Jennifer went in the movie her fringe went with her. To the strip club, her fringe was there. To see her sleazy boss, her fringe was there. She went to the pool, guess what? Her fringe was there too! After 2h of nothing but fringe action I gave up. Perhaps in the last 3/4 of an hour she gets a haircut, I don't know, anything could happen. But then again not much happened in the first 2h so I wouldn't hold out much hope I I were you.",3 "It seems to be boring for me as I don't like racing movies, i just got some informations about ford and ferrari history and i continued it cause I like matt damon and bale",6 "If you are a hardcore fan of suspense crime thrillers infused with brutal scenes then don't wait, just watch this amazing movie with their plot twists.",9 "The series doesn't seem to understand the original source material regarding how to tell What If stories. The artwork and dialog lack the character of Earth's Mightiest Heroes or Justice League Unlimited. These factors make the episodes feel like monologs of stage plays stitched together, without a sense of action. When an episode attempts humor, it comes across as forced camp, based on cliches we're supposed to think are still funny.",5 "From what I've seen and heard, John Forbes Nash has achieved and been through enough in his live to fill an interesting movie with. Unfortunately, ""A Beautiful Mind"" is not that movie. Instead, it appears to be a standard case of Hollywood taking a potentially interesting story and dumbing it down to please a large audience. It's hard to describe where exactly this movie goes wrong. On the surface level, everything is OK. The acting is fine (Ed Harris once again steals the show), the atmosphere is authentic, and the movie is beautifully shot. This makes it a real shame that they didn't do anything more with the story. Instead of a complex story about real people, we get a simplified tale full of one-dimensional over-glorified characters (Jennifer Connelly is too nice to believe), a simplistic message (""love conquers all"") and corny dialog. And to make matters even worse, all of this is drowned under an incredible load of (false) sentiment and bombastic music. This movie doesn't just want to tell a story, it also tells you how you should feel about that story. This could have been an interesting movie, if it had just stuck to the facts and let people judge for themselves what they think about Mr Nash and his story. Instead, it is turned into a overly romanticized formula piece devoid of any real complexity. **1/2 out of ***** stars (because of the technical quality)",5 "I don't watch too many TV shows, but even I can tell that Avatar: TLA is perfect in pretty much every single way. The animation is spectacular, the action sequences are fun to watch, the writing is ingenious, the voice-acting for each character fits perfectly and is well done, the script is clever and extremely funny at times, and all of the major characters (and even the ones who aren't as pivotal to the story) are developed so effectively. One of show's greatest characteristics is its perfect balance in tone between humor, darkness, and humanity. The way it does this is by creating a nice variety of relate-able and fun characters and having a great story that ultimately brings them all together in an epic tale of loyalty, identity, perseverance, loss, and love. To sum it up, this show pretty much has pretty much anything you could want in a show.",10 "The story-arc of Series 1 was PERFECT, i.e. weak Few versus the strong Many. In Series 2 the writers completely lost the plot. Went to sleep twice in winding episodes that failed to hold my attention, but was wide awake when the Terrible Two (Homelander & Stormfront), now. white supremacist, bigots utterd a phrase that sounded remarkably like ""Make America Great Again"". Unwise and appallingly timed. The fans loved ""The Boys"" for its abandonment of partisan, identity politics, so it's catastrophic that Series 2 added to the above defects, suddenly found a couple more female Super-Heroes, but no more Super-Males, converting some of the struggles into mere hen-fights, with the males as mere spectators. Oh Xerxes!",2 "I can see some quality in it, but...Didn't connect with me at all...Everything seems to be very well made , just can't really interest me. 5 stars for originality...",5 "This series is really nice in general. Good stories on all seasons until season 3 where things started getting slow or... confusing? Somewhat weird? Beside the slow plot from season 3, I believe that the Vanya (now Viktor) plot shouldn't have been affected by Elliot Page's private life. This is cinema, not a reality show. Season 1 and 2 I can give a 10. Season 3 first episodes I give 7 and the last 3 episodes I can also award a 10.",9 """Murder Mystery"" is yet again another flop from Adam Sandler and the Netflix team. Stale, unfunny and exhausting. In this comedy, a husband and wife go on a European vacation and end up getting framed for the murder of a billionaire. I was actually really excited to see another collaboration with Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, but I was disappointed in the film as a whole.

What I do remember though is that the character 'Coop' mumbled in a near incomprehensible 'Deep South' accent, such that I could barely make out 50% of the dialogue, and had to put the subtitles on. The bizarre thing though is that he had his mouth open wider when he was _not_ talking ('trying to catch flies'), than when he was! The other thing is, if you're going to 'do' science, do it at least with a modicum of accuracy, otherwise stick to magic 'a la' Harry Potter!",1 "I left halfway through the movie. The trailer is different from the movie (I thought) and was much better and funnier than the movie itself It jumped around, too much blatant product placement. Ryan the same acting, and Jodie over acting. I was so disappointed!",2 "This show is the burning symbol of ""How to waste an amazing source material"". The first season was somewhat acceptable, although the narrating style and world building was absolute disaster, still it was bearable thanks to Henry. The tendency to force unnecessary 'diversity' and 'empowerment' led it to be a failure eventually. Most of the fan base came from the games. But the creators took them for absolute joke. Creative liberty is one thing, but this is not it. If you have to force feed your view to audience, create your own script according. But you have no rights to massacre a fan favourite like The Witcher into a joke. Remember masterpieces were created through creativity, good performance and great characters, not through a diverse casting and 'Strong Female Characters'.

Slow, dull and boring and wasn't scary at all.",3 "I really don't understand all the amazing reviews of this movie. It goes on way, way, way too long, you see the twist coming a mile off, and it was obvious from the half way point who the real bad guy is. There are some great actors in this with nothing to do, and most of the suspects had no motive. People comparing this nonsense to Agatha Christie are insulting everything she ever wrote. If this has been one of her stories everyone would have had a real reason to commit murder, there would have been many red herrings and there would have been something at the end that no-one saw coming. Oh and Daniel Craig's accent - just no.",3 "13 Reasons Why is depressing, almost everything that happened is bad.

Although this show has had its ups and downs, it's a beautifully crafted show with a fitting end to the characters we have grown to love. It's a wonderful, yet a controversial and powerful masterpiece filled with sad, happy, depressing, heart warming and cute moments backed with flawless ending.

It really let me down.",1 "This was a fantastic film and I highly recommend this to movie fans, make an effort to see it. The script was tightly written, with entertaining dialogue. The cinematography was engaging, the acting was phenomenal and the direction was so well done that I was literally rooting for Ken Miles to win! Ford vs Ferrari is based on a true story and had me googling facts put to us in the film. It depicts the real life determination of Henry Ford II to beat Ferrari at Le Mans after Ferrari had one it 6 times in a row going bankrupt in the process and then mocking Ford's serious offer to buy Ferrari's company, while using his offer to get Fiat to make a better offer. In his determination to beat Ferrari at Le Mons, Ford engineer turned executive Lee Iacocca convinces Ford to let him put together a team of the best, which is how Carroll Shelby (the only American to have won at La Mons) and British born driver/engineer Ken Miles come to be working on the Ford Racing Team...and the rest as they say is history. The film does an excellent job building the characters and getting you to invest emotionally in the outcome. I have never been a racing fan...but I was right there on the edge of my seat rooting Ken Miles on! There is also an excellent villain developed in the Ford Executive Leo Beebe. It sounds like he really did rob Ken Miles out of the triple crown. I really hope there is a special place in hell. I want to give a special thank you for the depiction of Ken Miles' wife, Mollie. Often racing movies depict the females as bimbos or so weak-hearted that they are always trying to talk their man out of racing because it is dangerous. Mollie Miles was portrayed as a solid wife and mother, who not only knew a little something about cars but was supportive of her husband and a stand up individual. I never thought I would see the day that I would be googling and reading articles about auto-racing. True fact Mario Andretti and my Dad are the same age, who knew!",7 Batfleck delivers some cheese. Very unique indeed. Batfleck actually made a pretty competent film with compelling thrilling scenes.,7 "I'm in 2 minds about this film. On the one hand, the story and plot were very good, on the other hand, it could've been a lot more entertaining in the build up. The film had many stars that barely showed their worth, this frustrated me and eventually I started to find the film boring. I just wanted it to end to see who the culprit was.",6 "Good cast, great characters but just too much of everything. Disappointing ending and many moments where I thought ""why didn't you do this before when you had the chance?"". No suspense or true sense of importance because some light hearted joke takes me out the moment. Throw in a random idea or escape and on to the next scene we go. If this is what people rate 8.4 / 10 nowadays I might need to rewatch some classics. I was extremely bored after 10 episodes and glad it was over.",5 "Overall Ratings 4 1/2 stars 9.1 out of ten Episode Ratings Episode One ""Glorious Purpose"" - 8.5/10 Episode Two ""The Variant"" - 8.8/10 Episode Three ""Lamentis"" - 7.5/10 Episode Four ""The Nexus Event"" - 9/10 Episode Five ""Journey Into Mystery"" - 9.4/10 Episode Six ""For All Time. Always."" - 9.1/10 Acting - 0.9/1 Amazing cast with the top performances being Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku and with the standout performance (being a spoiler I sadly can't mention) from episode six. Cinematography & CGI - 0.95/1 Cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw turns this series from something that could look drab and uninteresting to something that looks incredibly special and amazing, especially succeeding with the beautiful dynamic lighting and colour grading. The GCI was great, with very minor dips in episode three. However, it was still the Marvel show with the best CGI and at no point did I notice it looking bad at all. Overall, one of Marvel's best looking projects to date. Dialogue - 0.85/1 The dialogue ranges from feeling slightly forced and awkward in episode three to brilliant in episodes one and six. Luckily most of the clunky dialogue is saved by the performances from the amazing cast. Pacing - 0.8/1 After great pacing from episodes one and two, it grinds to a halt in episode three. Despite however necessary the character development may be it still doesn't help how slow and detached the episode feels when compared to the rest. Thankfully it speeds up again with episode five having the best pacing. Plot - 0.9/1 Great plot with some really fun and unique ideas and scenes. I personally loved the episode four plot twist, the whole of episode five and how much world building episode six does. I do feel, however, the cliffhanger at the end of episode six was too much to leave us with for a two year wait. Score & Soundtrack - 1/1 Natalie Holt's score is insane and there's nothing that sounds quite like it. I loved the choice of music in episodes three and four, especially ""Demons"" playing over the Marvel Studios intro. My favourite tracks from the score through were ""Loki Green Theme"", ""Dangerous Variant"" and ""Alligator Bite."" Set & Costume Design - 0.95/1 The amazing look of TVA's interior was all practical and captured a vintage feel while still having a sci-fi feel and look. The costumes were brilliantly done, the TVA uniforms and Loki variants' outfits were all standouts. Themes - 0.85/1 I felt the themes of narcissism, destiny and freewill were all portrayed well, successfully showing how each character highlights the themes. Each Loki variant showing how narcissism is rooted into who they are. So much so that Loki falling in love with himself becomes a major plot point and the TVA's sole purpose to eradicate free will from the every universe. Tone - 0.9/1 The show knows when to have a serious moments and when to make jokes, with episode five especially succeeding with the comedy. However, at no time does it spend the entire time forcing laughs out of you, rather it focuses on developing your connection to the characters, especially Owen Wilson's Mobius. Uniqueness - 1/1 A really unique show with interesting moments other shows wouldn't be able to accomplish nearly as well. The whole TVA as a whole is such an awesome idea and I can't wait for it to be explored more in the second season. Overall Thoughts A must-watch show for any Marvel fan and perfect for anyone who hasn't been keeping up with the MCU since Endgame or even those looking for a fun Sci-Fi, Doctor Who/Rick and Morty-esque adventure. Easily the best show of Marvel's ""Phase Four."" Bring on season two!",9 This movie is only made for Marvel fans. Not like the other 21 Marvel movies. They were entertaining every moviegoer.But Endgame will entertain especially Marvel fans.,3 Truly a masterpiece although I don't know Tamil I have watched in hindi dub the movie the screenplay the bgm were terrific I hope the director does a movie kinda classic just like this with my favorite actor mahesh babu He would get a warm welcome to tollywood,10 "If you expect a sophisticated series to which you are comparing it, you will not like this show. This show was not made for higher educated adults enjoying the unlimited choice of todays shows. This beautifully made series is made for families who wish to watch something together. Which is a difficult task on itself. It could have been a Disney franchise. Keeping this in mind, you can accept the simple story lines, uncomplicated characters and become a teenager yourself for a moment. Yes it has all the cliches and predictable inciting moments, but this is really a blockbuster like movie wrapped in a Netflix show. I have now watched 2 episodes and will definitely watch the rest of it. Knowing that I should not expect Batte Star Galactica, but remember what it was like to be 12. I would have loved this then.",8 "I had high hopes for ""Fall"" given the buzz around it, but it proved to be an overwhelming disappointment. From the very outset, the plot lacked depth, coming across as shallow and poorly thought out. The characters were one-dimensional, leaving me completely disinterested in their fates. The dialogue felt forced and often redundant, adding no substance to the overall narrative. To add to the frustrations, the pacing was off. Scenes that should have been intense dragged on unnecessarily, while others that required development felt rushed and incomplete. It's as if the movie was confused about its own identity and purpose. In short, ""Fall"" was a massive letdown. I invested my time hoping for a cinematic treat, but all I felt was the urge to look at my watch, counting the minutes till it ended. Definitely not a film I'd recommend if you value your time.",2 "Black Mirror, for me, went through a different phase each season. I will use these phases as building blocks to review the series as a whole. Start-up: At this point, the series was new, wild, very confronting and, unfortunately, completely unknown to the outside (read: non-BBC) world. Everything was right. The creator had an idea and he made it happen on the small screen. In my opinion, the best episodes were created in this season for just that reason. While underrated, the brilliance caused the series to earn a second season. Growth: This is when I picked up on the series because it got better and more reviews overall. I really enjoyed every episode except the very first one and I could only hope for more brilliance from the creators. The writing was excellent and the concept was still incredibly cool and unique. Maturity: The series achieved its peak with the White Christmas episode. The show got a broader fanbase and Netflix decided to throw money into the concept to scale it up to six episodes a season. This was the moment I, and with me probably many more, got very excited for the future of the series. However, the new episodes were still enjoyable but every fan knew this was not the rebellious and brilliant series it used to be. It lost its touch with its core, which mostly showed in the unusually happy episode San Junipero. Don't get me wrong, that episode was brilliant, but not as 'Black Mirror' as the striking episodes in the beginning (like Five Million Merits) used to be. Decline: I watched the fourth season right when it came out, and I let it sink in for a few months before I wanted to write this review. There was not a single episode that got me on the edge of my seat, and there was not a single episode that really got me thinking. What I loved about Black Mirror was the challenge it gave us to look differently at (all our behavior with) technology. However, this season, more than ever, let the good guys win, had inexplicable and unreasonable plots (instead of technology, it were the people causing bad events) or it was outright not 'black' at all (Hang The DJ, which I will review separately because of its wasted potential). For me, Black Mirror has ended. It was great as long as it lasted. But every great concept like this was great because it was what it was at the time: a niche. A niche talking to a specific audience that wants to be challenged. When Netflix wants to produce more episodes in a shorter time window, it comes at a cost. The cost of the niche that I valued so much at the beginning of the series. So right now, it is time to find a new niche series to enjoy.",9 "Season 1 of was great, full of dark humor, fresh perspectives and unpredictable events. Unfortunately season 2 doesn't live up to the standard of the previous one. I can give season 2 only an average score. Season 1: 10/10 Season 2: 6/10",8 "Yes, the visuals in Avatar are awesome. I saw it in 3-D and agree that it looks amazing. Unfortunately, it still isn't that great. In fact, it's the most over-hyped and overrated movie of the year. Anyone wanting more than special effects (intelligence? god forbid) is not going to have fun at this movie. I suspect that the more movies you've seen, the less Avatar will impress you. Of course, even the critics (inexplicably) think this is the greatest thing since canned spam, so perhaps I'm wrong. The biggest problem with Avatar is that its story is mind-numbingly generic, mediocre, unoriginal, predictable pap. It's Ferngully with better special effects. There weren't any twists or surprises here to engage or interest me in the slightest, which made for a dull and sometimes extremely boring film. The film's fans claim that ""every story has already been told"" and therefore we shouldn't criticize it. But that's nonsense. If no new film ever had any suspense, people would quickly stop watching them. And then there's the running time. At 80 minutes, Avatar might have been tolerable. At 162, it's an endurance test. Especially with the lame characters and recycled story. Honestly, I don't think I could even sit through this bore a second time.",4 Overrated. Predictable. Kind of boring. Hmmm... am I describing this film or all DC films in general? Both I guess.,6 I am a huge Conjuring Universe fan but really sorry to say this movie is bad. I wanted to be good but reality is it's not. In the first half nothing happened & I mean literally nothing but in the second half it was okay. So the summery is this is movie is the worst installment of the Conjuring Universe.,5 "I like this show because of the great creative and innovative ideas that every new episode brings to is. The only thing is that most of the time, the episodes is very depressing and you don't have a good feeling after have watched it.",8 "In ""Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,"" the penultimate entry in the decade-long ""Harry Potter"" movie series (it covers only one-half of the final novel with the second half due out at a later time), things are going from bad to worse for our intrepid little band of wand-waving heroes and the people who have taught and raised them. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is running for his life from the evil Lord Voldemort, who's made it his life's mission to personally finish off the young lad, and the Ministry of Magic has been taken over by Death Eaters, who have begun a wave of persecution against all Muggle-born witches and wizards. For those who are die-hard devotees of the ""Potter"" series and who have literally grown up with these characters, watching ""Deathly Hallows"" must feel a bit like going to the prom in the run-up to senior graduation (an apt comparison since Harry, Hermione and Ron are now all well into their adolescence with all the teen-drama and angst that that inevitably entails). For those of us who are but casual observers of the tales, the movie feels muddled and poky, its storytelling much too esoteric and confusing and its pacing much too slow. The latter may be attributed to the fact that this is only one-half of the story, with the promise of a tighter resolution to come in the final installment. Still, that doesn't make sitting through this film any more palatable or entertaining.",5 "Good plot and its fun to watch. Watched this movie for Pankaj Tripathi and R Rajkumar. They are brilliant actors.. I wish they didn't include the nepo kids in the movie..",2 "This is a great film for disengaging your brain on a Sunday afternoon. McConaughey is as irritating as always, rescued by Jessica Chastain and the great Michael Caine. But the film is really all about the special effects supported by a terrific film score lead by Hans Zimmer. The flow gets a little bogged down in parts with the dad-daughter dynamic in particular becoming a little cloying after a while. So in the end the film would benefit from being 30 minutes shorter, but fortunately the set pieces make it worth the wait. A solid 7/10.",7 "Basically, I was bored. It is possible to get away without a conventional plot line, but I did not find any of the main characters to be engaging or credible, and there was only one scene in the movie - where Brad Pitt entered a community of hippies - that I felt intrigued about what would happen next. The final scene had some ingenuity, but even then there was a lack of real dramatic tension. In large parts, the film depended on its amusing take on the absurdities and vanities of Holloywood movie-making, but for me it fell well short of funny. I've always admired Tarantino's daring and original approach to movie-making, but this film seemed to be all style and no substance.",3 "If you've had the opportunity to see the first version with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, the second version with Judy Garland and James Mason, and the third version with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson, then you're more than schooled on this story. Why another version is made, I'll never know. Hollywood is losing their originality in film. This particular version was just OK for me - the usual hype and usual story. Nothing fantastic, nothing fabulous. Just another remake. Music from Streisand's version was the best for me. Gaga is too old for the part and Cooper doesn't fit the part. Can't see all the hype in this - but if you're the 20-30 year old crowd, it will hit the charts. And, if you are in that bracket, take the time to check the other versions of this story. They might surprise you. This one just does not.",3 "I really wanted to like the movie, and I totally enjoyed the first third of it, until it turned into a lecture on patriarchy. Women are portrayed as infinitely oppressed people who can't do anything except for crying about their existence. Don't get me wrong, I expected it to be about feminism and empowerment, but not that awfully straightforward about it. I could've been a great movie. A 10/10 movie, but it feels like the authors just hate men so much, they can't think of anything else. I also feel sorry for all female executives at Mattel. The board of directors is portrayed as oppressively male-only, to maintain the narrative. To sum up, you gonna love it if you want to feel sad and oppressed about being a woman. Not so much if you just like Barbies and want to have a good time.",5 "Dialogues were changed to become more shallow & simple (for example word plays were taken out). The live action animation is too lack of expression - that it simply can't do well with the voice acting (& I'm speaking even without comparing it to the 94 version). The hardest thing for me was the music downgrade: Yes, they went with more heavy, accented vocals than music (a positive thing), but they used it all wrong (for example using an iconic theme in a different scene or out of sync with whats goes onscreen). There were other changes I was onboard with, and though they were a refreshing take- but it doesn't saves this movie from being a complete grey yawn.",2 "The sets, costumes, CGI are all first class like Game of Thrones. The plot(s) and dialogue are much more reminiscent of high class soap opera Downton Abbey. GOT revolved around a great mix of palace intrigue but more so traveling duos that would culminate in a 'meet up' and often a battle or deaths of some sort to resolve plot points. Characters grew by overcoming challenges both physical and intellectual. We saw Arya grow up from a little girl to an adult before our eyes, all while played by the same actress. In HotD what we get instead is strictly palace intrigue and a more soapy version of it endlessly revolving around who's sleeping with who and relentless child birth scenes (two in episode 6 alone). The traveling adventures are non-existent, and instead of seeing characters grow up we get massive time jumps that necessitate an entire recasting of the characters. Challenges include surviving childbirth, rare diseases and arson. It still has its appeal and the cast does a fine job with what they're given to work with, but I'm nowhere near that feeling of ""I can't wait for Sunday night"" that I had with GOT, in which 60 minutes would fly by and feel like 15. Now I watch maybe a couple days later on HBO Max when I have the time, and I find myself continually thinking about whether the HBOM subscription is worth it just for this. I hope they can pull away from 'Downton Incest' and move toward some of the things that made GOT (seasons 1-6) great. Otherwise this is feeling like just another show.",7 "I actually looked forward to watch this Tv series. The first episode is alright, not the best pilot but it was decent. Second episode was half as good as the first episode (which wasn't great to begin with) and then third episode just lost me. It's a very beautiful Tv series - the visuals and editing is amazing (of you are a video/motion picture nerd). But the storyline is messy and boring. Some of the scenes are literally taking forever and one just go: ""What!? Are they serious"". Despite the title of the series being ""Expats"" it portrays a very odd picture of the life of expats in SEAsia. I'm an expat myself living in Asia, and I must say - it's just not good enough. Seems like they haven't been really doing any research on the main day-to-day elements of being an expat in Asia. I've stopped watching it, cos it's just annoying at this point. Nicole Kidman is amazing tho' but she gets on your nerves in episode 2 and 3. And at that point the rest of the series just adds fuel to the mess..",4 "This appears to be a good show, but it's not for me. Hope you enjoy it.",3 The start of the film began slow but it was intriguing I was watching this with my brother and it had us asking questions about what could happen so it definitely wasn't boring Since I've also watched the first one I know that the movie holds small important details throughout which I loved and was carried on in glass onion However the most enticing part of glass onion was the middle when they are uncovering the crime the plot was by far the best part of the film it was unique and kept me curious The only disappointment of the film was the ending I had thought it would end good but it was plain and boring not like the first knives out Overall it was a good film but didn't have the originallity like the first.,7 So boring and slow and going nowhere. All the characters talk like they are on Valium. There's a big mystery and no one really wants to solve it. I quit after episode 7. Big waste of time!,2 "Please do not compare this series with Dexter. The whole uniqueness of Dexter is the elimination of negative characters consequently bringing fairness and pleasure since evil bastards are getting what they deserve. I might be old fashioned but wrongdoers must be always punished. Here however Hannibal is evil himself, killing for no purpose rather than pleasure. Of course he is pretentious, posh mannered and wears vintage or unusual clothing, but that's just modern perception of 'cool' and 'unique' diverting the main point of good fighting bad. There is a potential for him to get punished or bring a sad heartbreaking story explaining that his social life has forced him to eat people alive and he is a really good guy, but I just can't be bothered to wait for that small chance. Every episode is a cliff hanger and new ones randomly recall events which had happened 2 episodes ago. Very disappointed and amount of negativity bring no reward for a viewer. In addition Mads Mikkelsen is just a terrible actor. I hope the show get cancelled.",1 "After eternals I got really sick of Marvel adding every single heroes there is to the cinematic universe. I told myself not to bother about anything other then the original Avengers pre Captain Marvel. The trailer wasn't interesting because I know nothing of Moon Knight and it looks like Batman era where everyone copies him, and that I was expecting very little from Oscar Isaac due to his one dimensional character in Star Wars and Dune. But lo and behold, what a pleasant, PLEASANT surprise! It's so good. He nailed it, a totally animated character, not the cool guy trope but a total in character embodiment. Boy was i hooked instantly. Thank you Marvel!",8 "On an airplane, I thought that an action movie would be the perfect way to kill time: I was not expecting a super-script or the greatest movie of all times but this was far below my expectations. This movie is simply bad. The casting is awful, the actors are insipidly acting and emotions are not at all coming through. The story line is in the genre is the worst I have seen. Love story between Thor and a human? Is this what we are lead to believe happened?? Where? When? There was no emotional scene, connection between the characters or hero/love connection of any kind and no character development in general (none!). The story is very poor and under-developed to under-achieved with many holes. Scenes tend to succeed each other without much dynamic and soon, you settle for a mighty boredom. Some of the special effects were ""fine"" but overall, the whole thing appeared super-artificial (movie directors, please stop believing that a movie will do great with special effects and no stories or no 'art') and not that entertaining. This movie overall is one of the rare which make me think (not only one third through) that it would be better off stopping before the end rather than continuing - don't waste your time.",3 "I have read and watched sci-fi books and films for almost sixty years, starting in the 40's with such titles as ""Thrilling Wonder Stories"" and eventually ""astounding Science Fiction."" Regarding this contribution, ""Interstellar"" to the list, it is without the slightest shadow of doubt that I count it as absolutely the worst movie in the genre I have ever had the misfortune to watch. The characters are wooden, the pace is like a snail trying to move through molasses, and trivial or improbable comments are promoted as though they were profound realizations. The basic premise is, in a certain debatable sense, philosophical, mixed with a lot of impressive-sounding technospeak. Things are represented as sudden inspirations which should (and would) have been understood long before the journey even begins, as though to remind the viewer that the protagonists are intelligent and clever enough to figure out what in a real world they would have known and taken for granted long before. Seeing all the grovelingly positive reviews, I tend to classify the film as a con job designed to impress a certain kind of viewer with already understood cliches so as to confirm that they are after all as smart as they think they are. Science is a wonderful tool, but it cannot touch the reality of life, and should not represent itself as though it can.",1 "An interesting concept and generally well thought out. I quite enjoyed it - but why so long? It's as if the director called all of the cast together and said something like, ""Look guys, the company needs to fill an eight-episode gap in the schedules. So what I need you to do is... speak very s-l-o-w-l-y. (pause) leave big (pause) gaps between each (big pause) sentence. Visibly consider every (pause) word said to you by the other (huge pause) actor, finally responding (pause) ..."" You get the drift. So slow. So very, very slow.",7 "In the lead-up to this film's release there was a semi-viral piece of marketing from one of the late-night TV shows. It was a side-by-side comparison of ""Hakuna Matata,"" the 1994 animated version vs. the 2019 remake. It was shocking how much more appealing the original seemed. This... was not the point apparently. When the movie began, my daughter groaned. She thought this was supposed to be a cartoon. For someone her age who pays such close attention to commercials/ads (it's troubling), I was shocked she didn't know what she was in for. This paragraph doesn't have much to do with the review, sorry. How unnecessary and blatantly anti-creativity are these live-action remakes! I don't have much else to say! Disney could have just done a re-release of the original and still made bank at the box office (with zero production costs), right? Enough. It would be one thing if they built off the original characters/story and took it someplace new. But this pitch was essentially: It's Simba but also Childish Gambino, and all the animals are real but also fake. The songs are exactly the same only worse. Yuck. Yuck Yuck Yuck. 1,000 times Yuck. In Noah Baumbach's The Meyerowitz Stories (2017), Dustin Hoffman's character is fond of saying ""it's my protest, like McEnroe,"" referencing the tennis great's proclivity for protesting points during matches. My giving this a 2 is the equivalent of that. Because, in the end, my daughter did really enjoy it. She has no taste and no respect for originality; she's five.",2 "Director Christopher Nolan's reboot to the batman series comes across as a darker more mature batman than before, but overall this opener feels more like an overrated build up to its far superior sequel: The Dark Knight. The films follows the origin story of batman/Bruce Wayne, played brilliantly by Christian Bale, as he tries to change his life to do good in the world after the murder of his parents. Liam Neeson is the strongest part of the all-star cast as Batman's mentor, who helps train him. While Cillian Murphy plays bad guy ""the scarecrow"" although while the film tries to set up a realistic feel, the scarecrow ruins this with his plans to cover the city with gas to make everyone insane, and his general comic book style. The cast also includes Katie Holmes, who acts terribly as Wayne's love interest. Gary Oldman gives one his finest performances as a Gotham City cop while Micheal Caine and Morgan Freeman round out the cast as Bruce Wayne's Butler and Technology expert. The films all-star cast does well but a few weak performances drag it down. The plot works very well, although the early sections exploring Batman's past and origins are a lot more enjoyable than his fight against the scarecrow which feels like a weak villain. The inclusion of little bits of humor throughout is also good, but the core romance in the film feels very undeveloped. In terms of the action scenes, the film is a mixed bag, although the film is well shot and has a nice visual style the action scenes feel too fast and are ultimately the weak part of the film. The pacing is also a strong point but like most things in the movie it all feel like everything from the romance to the villains and batman's journey as a hero are more developed in The dark knight and that this movie is simply a back-story. Overall, while not the greatest comic book film ever, it does flesh-out batman's back-story well and the all-star cast makes the movie an easy choice to recommend, although The dark knight is the better film.",6 "Wow.... 2020 ki best movie. It contains crime , drama and specially I like it for comedy. Little bit long but overall so entertaining movie.",9 "I looked at the cast and it sounded promising, but as it wore on, it became overlong and padded out with overuse of computer generated graphics and very dull dialogue. The storyline is the same brilliant Pratchett quality but the transposition to film? It's...er... been rather discorporated. As for the Soundtrack? Very good arrangement of the gavotte from Gilbert & Sullivan's 'Gondoliers'. That bit was omitted from the credits. Wasn't it?",6 All sketch comedy has hit or miss sketches but Key and Peele seemed like about 90 percent hit and that's about the best I've ever seen. Chappelle's show's best episodes probably were better than Key and Peele's best ones but wasn't as consistently good. They bowed out at the right time because season 4 and 5 were a little more hit and miss but still had plenty of hits. Very funny show and I'm glad I re-watched it because there were numerous episodes I hadn't seen.,9 "Chapter 1 will grab you then it crashes horribly. I think that it loses focus from the Main storyline while the story its progressing , I mean the could have done much better, sad to see that our stories are punched that hard. To grab bigger audiences , if you dont Knowles nothing aborto the games you will enjoy it , the make up and special effects area great , there are also some good scenes in the show ,the last chapters were so boring and felt disconnected from the original story, I the last of us is a good series if you don't have nothing else to see or while waiting for the bus stop, but not memorable.",5 "I'm sorry I actually paid to see this piece of art. I expected a science fiction movie with a touch of comedy. What I got instead was a nonsense script that got worse as the story progressed. The acting was great, however the story was confusing and made me wonder why this picture got so many good reviews. Maybe people saw something I didn't see. The fact is, if you want to be entertained without having to do some brain work, go somewhere else. This movie require a lot of attention and thought. I was looking for something light so I got disappointed. I hope this review helps people like me who are looking for some simple and funny form of entertainment.",3 "Arrested Development had two maybe three good seasons. It was okay funny and had an interesting plot. The characters were dramatic and comical at the same time and the whole thing was a hot mess, a paranoia of events that happened to the characters and they had to deal with them. However, the fourth season was a mess and not in a good way. It was not funny, it was confusing, and the story had no plot behind it.",5 "This movie is a rip off of Richard Donner's Superman and the first Captian America film. The third act of the film is a cgi mess, the villain is dumb and it jumps to that point without explaining much or making logical sense. This film doesn't deserve a 7.5 sheeple.",5 "A welcomed addition to the 'Conjuring' universe. I actually enjoyed this 'Annabelle' entry the most out of the three. It may not be the scariest one, but I found it the most interesting. We get to see a little more of all the artifacts in the do not enter room of the Warren home. It was nice seeing Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga in this, even if they weren't the main stars. It helped solidify the story lines and connect all the films. Also, I read that this movie takes place at the exact same time as the first 'Conjuring' movie which I thought was neat. Madison Iseman has been great in everything I've seen her in, so hopefully she'll become more prominent. The third 'Annabelle' is not ground breaking by any means, but it's a well made suspenseful horror with some killer 70's tunes.",7 "Article By: Sam LeGassick Twitter: LG45 <- Please follow! Website: www.thewildbore.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Wild-Bore/299067834888 Why, oh why, oh why do I even bother going to see a Tony Scott film, they are unbelievably awful. The camera is all over the place, making me feel sick, his focus pulling, sweeping shots, intense close-ups and shaky-cam look unprofessional to say the least. This whole effort to create action through a flimsy script by making the audience feel like they are on a roller-coaster is, in essence, playing on people's stupidity. By drawing their attention away from what matters, it's like dealing with a thick child who has fallen over; he's so taken away with a cuddly toy that he forgets that his knee is bleeding everywhere - and watching this film was definitely painful. The journey to even get this film made was painful. The overrated diva that is Denzel Washington refused to have his $20 million salary cut holding up production. Tony Scott even got his pay cut to $4 million, though God knows who would pay him so much. It's a recession remember? The entire budget for the film was $90 million, so you can see how much of that was spent on Denzel's pulling power. Finally the film got made and is 'inspired by true events'. This statement always makes me laugh. Isn't every creation inspired by true events? Based on true events is something different (and usually a lie in films anyway) but 'inspired' by true events? You could say that about a diary of birdwatching - which would probably be more interesting than this film. In any case, a train is left accelerating by accident without anyone driving it and it's left to Washington and Pine to save the day. Denzel plays his classic 'everyday' hero role that he usually does, especially in Tony Scott films, and Chris Pine tries to keep some integrity in the film by giving off a clearly angry young man on his first day on the job. How unlucky for him then. There's some lacklustre back story which is to fill in the gaps where trains are moving because, as every commuter knows, train journeys are usually very boring. The two bond and it's supposed to show a coming together of generations, and a somewhat meagre attempt at how people are losing their jobs, which Denzel can obviously sympathise with seeing as they were unfairly offering him only $16 million - the cheap bastards, no wonder he was threatening to pull out. They film the train like it's a monster on the rampage when it seems to be going at different speeds from shot to shot. It needs to be stopped before it goes round a rather nasty bend which is inconveniently located above a bunch of fuel tanks and is carrying a load of flammable liquid as well. Not ideal then - who decided to put the train track there? So yeah, they have to stop a train. When I came out, some people were saying how great it was and that it was 'just like that programme 24' - so I guess there's always a market - for idiots - who probably don't watch 24 anyway. I was also annoyed I lost a button on my coat which got caught on the drinks holder as I stood up. That didn't help. There's some explosions and it has Rosario Dawson in it as a dressed down stressed out worker, but she's still hot - and for the ladies Chris Pine has his shirt off at the beginning of the film so maybe watch it for that and then leave. I would rather have not gone and then I'd still have that button. Stop the Unstoppable and just don't watch this film. It's sh*t.",2 "Don't get me wrong, it's a good movie. I just don't see why it's soooo hyped. On the other hand, I appreciate this type of dark comedic movie getting recognition even if by the Academy. I stopped watching the awards years ago because the movies are sooo predictable or pretentious or big budgety but not a lot of soul. So by that standard, and the fact it introduces more people to the awesome world of Korean cinema, this movie is really good. The story is great, the characters were fun and you got to know each, and the acting was spot on. The settings were great as wel. I thought it was a sci fi flick, but I truly knew nothing about it. I was expecting a thriller like Bug or The Fly or something weird like that. What I got was not disappointing. Very quirky which reflects the work of the director who brings an interesting flare to movies. He's definitely developed his signature style and I think it will make people visit this portfolio. Again, very good movie. But won't change your life. It may stick with you a little afterwards, but it will fade so you can move on to the next.",6 "After WandaVision Became Amazing Start in MCU Phase 4, But the Second MCU TV Series is to Understand, Too Many Little Violent this Show, And This Story Telling is OK. Rating: 6/10.",6 "Not everything everytime goes by our optimistic imagination and this show puts its take on it. The MC isn't some Bruce Wayne type smart or powerful like Superman, he's average bloke fighting his way through in rather overpowered corrupt superheos world in which theyre idolized as saviours.",9 "I had a lot of high hopes for this movie when I watched the trailer and really thought it might be good. Boy oh boy, I couldn't have been more wrong. I cannot believe this movie has received so much credit from the media. If you compare this to other movies in the same genre, aka 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Alien movies, close encounters of the third kind. OK, maybe you say it's not fair to compare it to those movies, but even a movie like Moon was better. The only good thing about this movie was the visual effects. This movie has some of the best special effects I have ever seen in a space film, however the rest of the movie is horrific to say the least. The biggest mistake they made was putting Sandra Bullock as the main character. Someone like Sigourney Weaver, Noomi Rapace or even a less popular actor would have played a much better role. The acting was bad, there was no real or interesting storyline, the characters wasn't interesting, just nothing. Don't believe the hype !",1 "Cool original concept at least. But Ryan Reynolds is just Meh in this. Nothing too funny, pretty boring and mundane. This will be one of those movies in the $5 bin for this holiday, a movie that will be forgot in no time. Nothing memorable about it at all....",4 "I enjoyed this series. The non linear depiction where the mystery is solved only later, this felt more a thriller than mere drama. The actors carried their characters very well and I must applaud Olsen for her seamless portrayal of Wanda in misery and might.",8 "I don't care if this movie is on more than 50 critics top 10 lists. It was, in my eyes, a horrible film. One of the worst films I sat through in a long time. I actually felt I wasted 2 hours of my life I can never get back. I also know 9 other people who rented this mess and hated it just as much. The video clerk called this movie a ""stinker."" I know I am in the minority here. But I stand by what I say. I would never watch this movie again. Jim Carrey cannot do drama. In fact, he is not much of an actor. He's just a modern day Jerry Lewis. When he attempts to express anguish, he puts on his typical rubber face expressions. I know I am gonna get lots of flack for saying this. But I hated hated hated this movie. It was weird in a bad way, totally stupid, and a waste of Kirsten Dunsts talents. For those of you who praise this film, more power to you. I'll never ever watch it again. I thought it made the ""Friday the 13th"" films look like Oscar winners. Seriously. Alful, pointless, and enternally boring. I give it a huge thumbs down and a zero rating.",1 I suffered through episode 6 but now I'm done watching this disaster. This show needs to be canceled. I actually dislike this even more than the last season of the original game of thrones ... and that is saying a lot. Only reason I watched six episodes was in the hope that HBO might redeem itself from messing up the original show's ending so bad. But no ... OMG ... HBO actually managed to double down on stupidity. Cancel our HBO subscriptions is best way to show what we think about this trash. Boring. Terrible story lines. Do not like any of the characters. Changing the cast now is so stupid as the characters have not aged that much. This is a horrible terrible sad show.,1 "Very good series. Original, thrilling and full of action. Some great acting performances and some good chemistry between characters. The third series felt a bit of the same in places but was still really good, I think they need to end it next series with a good ending and it will be one of the best series of all time if they can do that.",9 "This was a really entertaining movie with a disappointing end. The visual effects were excellent. The magic tricks were entertaining. (There was even a card trick near the beginning of the film that the movie audience was essentially able to take part in.) The acting was was believable. (I suppose that you could argue it was good, but I found myself disinterested in most of the characters.) For most of the film the story made sense. Unfortunately, the writer(s) threw in one too many plot twists and pushed the film over the edge of plausibility into the realm of silliness. They also left a lot of loose ends dangling. Four stars might be a bit harsh, but so was the let down at the end.",4 "On a comedic level, Barbie is perfect. Obviously aware of trending topics and internet memes, the movie never fails to burst waves of laughter every three to five minutes. Every element in this film will become a punchline at one point or another, including awkward dialogues, exaggerated movements, unexpected responses, the Sex Education trio, John Cena cameo, Helen Mirren's epic one-liner, and much more. One actor to be complimented is Ryan Gosling, who bestows a childly himbo character Ken with charismatic idiocy and amusing lightheartedness, in great contrast to his previous sigma characters like K from Blade Runner 2049. In terms of story, though, not much success can be claimed. With the movie's central conflict revolve around gender inequity, Barbie highlights the problem clearly, but provides an ambiguous answer. Although Gloria's monologue was unquestionably badass, both her and Sasha's character arcs are quite unconvincing. In general, the film gives either opaque or passive solutions to gender issues, which align with mainstream opinion, but are inherently fantastical especially with the plain storyline. In my opinion, Barbie's box office wonder largely results from its marketing, whether the grand casting, the luring mystique, or the bombastic pink. And yes, the movie is incredible for its aestheticism and creativity, but the story is overly fantastical and lacking gravity.",7 "I can see what type of people like show .. those ppl like the show are into insect. And they are bully and abusive partner like mobius and sylvie. Why this show even rated for children. Writer and director are terribly into insect i can cleary see from their twitter and insta post.",1 FAN is not a regular massy bollywood entertainer but it's definitely worth a watch .First half is flawless and post intermission some moments do feel absurd .What makes u ignore all that is a jaw dropping performance by SRK. He plays gaurav with such finesse and elan .But it's the performance as Aryan that stands out for me .Very few can match the intensity he shows as Aryan .Its worth mentioning that the special effects do uplift the performance even more.,9 "If you are a fan (and I don't mean a hardcore fan) of super hero movies, specially from the MCU you are familiar with the amount of stereotypes present in its movies and TV shows. It has been quite a ride, I am usually a fan of the universe but a lot of its movies no matter how visually stunning or how charismatic the main characters are, they always fail in surprising and making us engaged in their story because most times they are predictable and more of the same good vs bad theme that has saturated Hollywood at this point. In the last years however, specially with Civil War and Infinity War we started to get a glimpse some fresh content in these, sure it's still good vs bad for the most part and you find your occasional stereotype here and there but the essence changed, not only the movies became more interesting and compelling in their plots but also they seem to be making a good job linking all this madness of characters that exist in the infinite world of comic stories. WandaVision was a good surprise that ended just okay and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was just ""another regular"" super hero long flick / TV show, but Loki is something else... If you are pointing inconsistencies (as I've seen in some reviews) like why are lot of the characters humans or how do they breathe fine in all these planets... man you have not been paying attention to any of the previous stories. I have given up trying to find sense and consistency in super hero movies, they have and always will have these kind of minor plot holes, but when you watch such a film some elements you just need to allow your brain to skip - that's not saying that every plot hole is justifiable! But with that being said I just want to praise a lot about this show, starting with the amazing visuals, all the cast seems to fit perfectly their roles (a good surprise having Owen Wilson there!), daunting soundtrack and the most important, it is without a doubt a highly engaging experience. Things happen fast but somehow it feels organic, doesn't feel rushed and it's probably the only Marvel TV show so far that makes me believe that it is happening in the same Universe as the actual movies. Sure the story can be seen as farfetched but considering that they are following the comics I think they did a terrific job, with the sets, the tone, the atmosphere, the character chemistry and yes even the plot I believe it makes sense (within the context of a super hero movie) and most importantly it is the perfect way to make a redemption of such a character. This is why I said that they almost stripped this one out of stereotypes, Loki is probably the greyest character in the MCU and in here we see an absolutely beautiful character development taking place - looking forward for season 2 hope they don't over do it. EDIT FOR SEASON 2: Amazingly they kept the consistent quality of the show! Sure, in a similar fashion as the previous season one might argue that the time travel plot is a bit far fetched at times (to put it lightly) but it's fresh and original at least. The show keeps the same organic pace I referred on season 1, the new characters are as much engaging and interesting as the original ones and it maintains its status as the best TV series Marvel has to this date (since Disney took over). The ending is a beautiful one, it seems there are no plans for a third season and I do hope they don't change their mind, it's a fitting end for the character with a beautiful reference to north mythology that I wasn't expecting and it just makes sense, within the context of the chaos the story is, it ends peacefully and with meaning. Amazing job for the people involved on this show, the question is why are they not the responsible team for the rest of Marvel these days who has been a mess?!",9 Pretty funny vulgarian humor with some great actors to pull the whole thing off. It's a bit of a one joke movie but a funny one nonetheless,6 Brad & Leo's acting is superb and was the only reason I didn't walk out. Apart from the acting....the story.....I mean what story? Too longgggg QT cult followers are high scoring irrespective of the film.....they would high score a movie if QT did a film about a mars bars for 3 hours......,3 "From Outrageous Fortune to this, his acting is brilliant. Great show too.",8 What the hell was this... wanna be Quentin Tarantino!!,1 "Recently, I've watched «The Boys» from Amazon Prime video. Directors of these TV Series are Eric Kripke and Garth Ennis.As far as I know, Garth Ennis is an excellent scenarist, who wrote many comicbooks about one of the coolest characters in comics-John Constantine. The characters of this TV-Product are played by Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr and Erin Moriarty. By the way, this superhero web television series is based on the comic book with the same name. And it's awesome. So, here is my review of this TV-Project. First of all, the characters of it are brilliant, especially Billy Butcher who was very cruel, but at the same time, his violence and charisma make him incredibly badass, and Homelander who, in my opinion, is one of the best villains on TV. He is unkillable, powerful and he doesn't have a hint of humanity which makes him very dangerous for the team of Boys, as well as for the whole world. These characters were played by Karl Urban and Antony Starr. Secondly, acting game of actors's cast is perfect. While watching this TV-Project, you don't even doubt that motivations of characters were badly decribed, because you just fall in love with them. Moreover, you really get enjoy from action in this TV-series. Brutal kills of heroes by the Boys' team will make everyone glad. In conclusion, I'd like to say that «the Boys» is excellent TV-product which adds something new to superheroic genre. Of course, it's not for all, because not everyone likes cruelity in movies, but I think that it's a kind of fun view on movies about superheroes. And I suggest you to watch it.",9 "Please Bring My 2:30 hrs back 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.. I was literally cursing the film all the time... What was there I didn't understand.. It's even the story? Really? 🤣🤣.. Really 2020 was very ""fun""",1 "I have to admit feeling a bit flat after watching this. I didn't have any expectations one way or the other when I went to see it. But it felt a bit slow and pedestrian at times. I've read where other people have said it's 'phenomenal' but I'm sorry, I just don't see it that way. I didn't find Bane as a particularly well thought out character and even his speech didn't quite seem to suit the part. In other areas of the film, it just wasn't convincing. I really think the last two Batman films had a lot more flare than this. I wasn't looking at my watch during the show (like I kept doing during the last 40 minutes of Lord of the Rings III) but I wasn't far off. Don't get me wrong, it's a good film but it certainly doesn't feel like a great film. I won't be rushing out to grab the DVD when it comes out to watch it again. And fair warning, it's a long film too.",6 """Spider-Man 2"" improves on the original, thanks to Sam Raimi's decision to take advantage of a post-9/11 need for solidarity and heroes and work it overtly into his film. It also benefits from a scene-chewing performance from Alfred Molina, as this installment's villain, Doc Oc. However, no improvements were made in the casting of the leads, with dough-faced Tobey Maguire returning as the web slinger and Kirsten Dunst as his vapid muse. This one won the Academy Award for Visual Effects and also found itself nominated for Sound Mixing and Sound Editing. Grade: A-",7 "Originally had rated it 9 up through season 4. Season 5 was such a stinker I'm dropping the series to 7. Honestly, did they fire all the writers and hire a bunch of kids? Season 5 was low quantity with only 3 episodes managed but more importantly very low quality.",7 "Othen than the dynamic between Eddie and Venom the film was pretty much underwhelming. The villain is terrible. Who thought that putting Venom, a black character, in a dark action scene was a good idea should learn more how to do action.",4 Didn't originally watch it as I thought it would be the same old rubbish. However I kept seeing reviews saying how wonderful it was so gave it a go. Should have stuck to my gut. It was quite long and boring and I can't remember the story line a few weeks later - which normally means it was nonsense.,2 "A fantastic movie, but I can't understand in the beginning, it alludes to being a ""true story"", when in actuality, it is fiction. This is the most disappointing thing about it. The story line is fantastic and is true human emotions. I can tell some of the story line does not make sense, even when I thought it was a true story. I can assure you, if a state trooper was killed on a traffic stop, the local yokel police department would not be the lead investigators on the case. Even Brainerd being a small town, it is doubtful the Chief herself would go out of town (to Minneapolis) on a follow up investigation. That is why you have detectives. Helluva a story though.",9 "Ok, I get that they want to introduce the character and give it an arc. But that didn't happen for Hulk (In an ""Avengers"" scheme, although it should have) and it sure as hell wasn't necessary for this one. The movie was WAY too long, boring and just redundant. Everything past the 30 minute mark was just a waste of time and money. They grossly overplayed the ""African"" aspect and it just felt like it was shoved in your face in every single chance they got. Hell, even Ross (Martin Freeman's character) felt to be forced to recognize and be a part of the ""tribe"". As a huge Marvel fan, I was incredibly excited to see this, see the universe expand. But I was hugely disappointed. The only thing I can commend in this movie are the visual effects and the music. Loved them.",4 "After all the positive reviews I had heard about LiT I decided that I needed some lighthearted entertainment ( at thats at least what the trailers had led me to believe ) my girlfriend & I decide to go to to see LiT. As a big Bill Murray fan ( Scrooge & Groundhog Day )I was expecting to be laughing my socks off. Big mistake !!!!!! The only joke I could see in this film were sterotypical anti Japanese jokes..ie Bill M towering over the smaller Japanese in an elevator or the jokes about how Bill M could not understand the Japanese language........hysterical NOT ! No imagination. A long winded story about 2 travellers with personal family issues lost and lonely in a foreign country falling for each other........full stop. This film is very similar in feeling to ""Leaving Las Vegas"" but thats where the similarity ends. Miss Coppola is not her father and this is no Godfather.",4 "There were many parts of this movie that just made me stop and say, 'wait, what?' to my girlfriend and she did the same with me, being a person who appreciated comics herself for many years and we both had different reasons for doing so. I mostly came up with points that were about how contrary the movie kept being in terms of ideas already established. For me this is unforgivable as it ruins the flow of the movie and makes you doubt how much thought was put into maintaining continuity and facts presented. My girlfriend was more about how they had change aspects of the story of Wonder Woman and her origin and she's not big on that either as the lore is long since established and she like it when the movies stay true to the sources, as they should but are regularly changed for convenience of the film makers. Both of us were pretty bored by the fact that there were no stakes. Wonder Woman was just Superman in a skirt, could fire lazer beams, could fly, could throw a tank, could be pummeled multiple times BY A GOD and she didn't bare a single scratch. It's like playing Doom back in the day in God Mode, boring. We were also nonplussed by the fact that there was a warrior who was waving her sword around like a fool who and like it was made of foam when coming out of department store or wondering how WAR works, despite having been shown that she was highly educated (to degrees that are quite impossible and immersion breaking). None of the characters spoke like they were in the 191X's and a SAIL boat can sail from what must have been the Mediterranean (given the Ottoman placement) to London overnight. There is I suppose if you can be like the popcorn consumption juggernauts behind us and turn your brain off, or are oblivious to geography and common sense this would be a pretty good movie but if you can't and you have to be 'one of those people' who must have a story make sense and have reasons behind actions, clear morals and ethics and demand some tension created by stakes you're only going to think this is just another average 'unbelieveably overpowered, unstoppable, godlike being makes holes in CGI things'. Close but no cigar, guys. There are lots better movies being made for lots less money.",5 "Good script and turnovers (just starting 2nd season) Even without knowing of the original series, i just enjoy some sci-fi and this series, have lots of, and some good human touch so overall, altough some unexplained human behaviors, i like it enough to binge it.",9 "I may not have played with Barbie dolls and fairly no interest in this from a subject standpoint, but I have to say this movie rocks. Margot Robbie is awesome, Gerwig's direction is solid, the writing is well thought out, the colors pop, and let's not forget how amazing Ryan Gosling is in this. His Ken will go down in history as one of his best roles, calling it now. I do wish there were things that were more utilized in the film, especially Venice Beach as a location. It felt really shoe horned into the plot. Also some of the side characters just really didn't need to be there. But overall, this picture really works because it's messaging about the hardships of the modern woman is spot on. Also I liked how they actually critiqued Mattel at times for making a doll with insane beauty standards for young children. I'm definitely looking forward to see where Gerwig takes her career after this because this is truly a box office and critical smash that can lead to some interesting projects in the future.",8 The worst start to a film I've ever seen. I could barely hear the dialogue over the blaring 80s-dark-industrial-crime musical score. How this made it past final edit is beyond me and how people praise it with 8 or 9 stars is baffling.,2 "Now that Venom is introduced to the earth and Brock, we see how their relationship has developed and problems in this ""marriage"". The action in this movie comes more from Carnage than Venom, that is to be expect hence the title. It still keeps it humor from the first movie. Make sure to stay for the after credit scenes.",8 Winona im just so impressed that she has been here for like twenty years and the the work that she has done. Love the old things and settings they are highlighting them Winona goes also well with the theme she was like in every movie. First season officiously been the best i am continuing anyhow but to fourth they could do so much better still so many roads to go.80s ET bicycles and kids. Maybe they are continuing this series too long without any actual skills or vision but now watching this at 2021 is amazing they have come up with something like this with all the throne replicas and all. The 80s and 90s had so many good things people are starting to miss the good old times. Still series dont copie any av´ctual movie which is a major plus.,8 "The performances were great and it was well shot, but nothing happened. The only only character development happened over the course of a minute and was somewhat irrelevant. If you watch the first and last 30 minutes this is probably excellent.",5 "Acting was good not great, story, made a shallow third movie, and it needed a shot of morphine as I was in pain being so let down and in pain just watching this dreadful movie.",3 "Wow, the best this director ever made. Very creative. Lots of characters . Awesome soundtrack. Good balance overall. Worth at least 8. In my top 5 best fantasy kung fue wt comedy if not number 1.",9 "The first Guardians movie was fresh, funny, and clever. Sadly, the new one is just the opposite, dull, silly, and stupid. It's hard to believe that the same creative team is responsible for both. We came close to walking out of the theater and demanding a refund, given the high cost of seeing films in IMAX 3-D, but we stuck it out to the bitter end, hoping against hope that it would get better. It didn't.",2 "This film is the same like other war films, because most all American or British or French war films, all the way the germans, or japans, or the soviets are the evil, and just they commit crime, and the americans, british, french people just are victims and they never ever commiting war crime... But this is a very big lie.",1 "I was expecting, after I had written my observations, that I would be berated by screeching Song of Ice and Fire fanatics. It seems that concensus is in line with my own observations, to wit, that this is a lack-luster G. O. T. Wanna-be,, dang, two hypehenated words in a row.. sorry bout dat! In any case my observation is this is just a plastic copy of the original. The very first thing I noticed is the costumes. All perfect like they just came out of the.costume department. All without a scratch, blemish, or wrinkle. Now that's authenticity bub! From that point I was jaded I admit, but the rest of what I've watched, to e06, is following that trend. Does anyone remember an awful series called Reign that was supposed to be.taking place during the Mary Queen of Scots era, but the music was like Taylor Swift , costumes, for the 'royal gala's' was like a cheap high-school graduation gown etc. Well, this show is not quite as bad as that but if you're looking for Game of Thrones, that is how this will feel to you.. It's ok, It's cheap Americanized drivel but my friend, it aint no Game of Thrones, Not even remotely close.",5 "I struggled with the first half of the first season. But the last 2 episodes were fantastic, worth the i it'll slog to get to, especially as a marvel fan.",8 "What is it with horror movies and lax on-set security recently? In Annabelle Comes Home there are frequently figures moving around in the background during scary scenes and it's super distracting. Jokes aside, the best way to describe the new Annabelle film would be The Conjuring by way of Goosebumps. If that sounds appealing to you, then you'll certainly get a kick out of the numerous monsters and demons that appear onscreen throughout the film. But if your looking for something bone-chillingly terrifying, well then.... you'll have to adjust your expectations a bit. The set-up to the story is largely a gimmick, as two young girls agree to stay at the Warren's house overnight and babysit their ten-year-old daughter. With only their curiosity and numerous trapped malevolent spirits and demons to keep them company, what could possibly go wrong? However, series writer Gary Dauberman, who also makes his directorial debut here, understands what makes these films fun and appealing. So, when one of the girls wanders into the basement and unleashes Annabelle, so too does she unleash the many other demons trapped below. What ensues feels like a live action broadcast of a puppet master pulling the strings on his favourite creations. Throughout the night, the girls are chased and tormented by the monsters and entities from the Warren's previous cases, and it's the sort of outlandish premise that benefits from the kitchen sink approach Dauberman provides. Moreover, in a time where horror films seem content on recycling the same scare tactics in hopes that they will still work the hundredth time around, the third Annabelle film feels like a welcome respite. It seeks to entertain, more than it does to scare, and it lends the film a breezy, eminently watchable quality. There are still plenty of jump scares and hit or miss moments, but the air of fun that hangs over the film luckily patches over most of the rough bits. If the recent Child's Play didn't satisfy your hunger for killer dolls, then Annabelle Comes Home may just do the trick.",7 "Three story lines, of different lengths, but intentionally edited in parallel, creating an illusion. This time there were not many narrative tricks and no visual wonders. The main thing is to restore the atmosphere of terror and create the despair and tension at that time. There are heroes of substitution is stronger. Music strongly promotes the emotion of the film and makes the ending more relaxed. The glide at the end is really beautiful.",7 "I always thoroughly enjoyed Loki's character in the Marvel movies and thought he should have a movie of his own. Instead he got a series where he isn't even the main character. Who in the world gave this script the green light? The series Loki is not the movie Loki. He's been neutered, plain and simple. Eunuch Loki is now on a leash, did someone say ""Bring out the gimp"" from Pulp Fiction? Then they make his budding romance with a version of himself. What kind of sick pervert thought that up? I guess incest is woke now so everyone better get onboard and accept it. The whole premise is contrived and obviously written by someone without any understanding of the multiverse theory. And come on, the alligator? Really? I'm all for funny odd characters but it wasn't even funny, it was just plain stupid. Right up there with the animated clock, like they were trying to make a bad joke about the Microsoft paperclip. This watches like poorly written and over acted fan fiction. Tom Hiddleston is always good but the source material was junk and you can't make gold out of lead. There was only so much he could do.",2 "This movie stunk. I cannot believe after hearing such great things about it that I am so bitterly disappointed. What was the point of this movie and why should I care? Total waste of time and money. I am a huge Bill Murray fan and after hearing about all the nominations and accolades, I cannot believe how bad that movie was...",1 "It's just good. Well hyped, as usual for netflix, but definitely not a disappointment. I could've lived without it, but I do not regret watching. It's not a national treasure or something revolutionary like Arcane was. But it is really good. And not a timewaste. Best for Harry Potter fans. It breaks the winter unspoken tradition of rewatching Harry Potter. You can mix now. Actors are good, very well casted. Although, story is not perfect. As I said like five times already, it is good. But there are a few flaws. Old-gold scenario with the same old netflix fillers. For some weird reason they introduced Wed's Uncle. No back story, no development, and when the world needed him most, he vanished. Just made an episode out of it. Despite all the fillers and cliche stuff, it is still watchable.",7 "Its a roller coaster of a movie, class act well inter twined of a spectacle. anurag basu is india's tarantino & even more. should goto win all awards, what a vision what a execution what a movie. a movie that inspires the watcher, a non actor / a lay person that i wish i was part of the movie somehow, has struck all the chords & is a game winner.",10 "I do not love the first film like everyone else does. I give it a 7/10. The first film to me is like, ""What if we took a classic James Cameron action film (True Lies) and put it in a fantasy world with blue people?"" That being said it it a fun watch. But this film is not that. It's a slow burn with more romance and Identical plot. Nothing new. Has James Cameron lost his magic? I hope not as I love James Cameron's work. Maybe this film was to get us back into Pandora and familiarize us with the lore and prepare us for the next films. I hope so. It's nice to look at it's a beautiful film. That's all this film has going.",3 "Started strong and had lots of potential but was very quickly destroyed by poor choices from story arc to the people they selected to play the main characters, I have lost all interest in the series by the third show which was very well acted but not at all needed by plot. I was certainly excited to see Nico in the beginning and agree with another person that Bella and Nico's characters should have been swapped. I also think that Pedro and Nick would have been better off with their respective roles reversed. I haven't played the game, and now not sure if I even want to. The Highlight of the story to me is how they explained how the zombies came to be... its not really all that far fetched when you think about it.",2 "I found it to be an extremely frustrating movie. Adam Sandlers character is loud , obnoxious and super annoying/loud. It was hard to get through the movie with the noice of his horrible voice and constant yelling, I almost turned it off at one point. I wouldn't go out my way to watch it if I were you.",3 "(4.5 out of 5 stars). Great action. Love the second movie. It does have a political thriller feel with the movie which had an uneven pacing. The cast is great. The action sequences are awesome. The winter soldier was an awesome villain. This movie was an improvement over the last.",9 "My memories of the original ""Iron Man"" are generally limited to the notion that I had a good time watching it, and that, for a big-screen translation of a popular comic-book property, it was more cohesive and clever (and boasting a far finer cast) than its less-successful Marvel brethren (think ""The Punisher"" and ""Incredible Hulk""). While it didn't come close to touching ""The Dark Knight"" (which is probably an unfair comparison for two wildly different superheroes), it was entertaining in a breezy, thrilling manner that got good mileage out of Robert Downey Jr.'s infectious, snarky charisma. ""Iron Man 2"" continues this cycle with consistent results: the action sequences are frantic and fast-paced without being incoherent; the cast well-chosen (with a barnstorming Mickey Rourke stealing the show); and the integration of CGI convincingly rendered. As both a continuation of the plot threads and character arcs in the original and as a standalone film, ""Iron Man 2"" is a solid, consistently entertaining effort that cements one-time indie darling Jon Favreau (who wrote and starred in the cult classic ""Swingers"") as the directorial antithesis of Michael Bay's sloppy, migraine-inducing action style. That being said, there is a nagging sense of lack within the proceedings, as though screenwriter Justin Theroux (""Tropic Thunder""), in an attempt to outdo the original, crammed in as many characters and subplots as possible simply to keep the film busy; while there are many Howard Hawks-ian comedic exchanges that recall the screwball comedies of the 1940s and '50s (many belonging to Downey and Gwyneth Paltrow's Pepper Potts), there are just as many characters who feel less than necessary (despite their considerable appeal, Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson don't have much bearing on the film's outcome). If ""Iron Man 2"" is flawed for this reason alone, then that still makes it better (and certainly more ambitious) than most of this summer's blockbuster fodder.",6 Film is grounded actors acting is up to mark. Kangana rocks this film. Songs and direction is good. But there are some loopholes so 9/10 overall a excellent movie,9 "Robert Heinlein was a right wing science fiction writer whose beliefs seemed to have gained some traction with some right wing groups. The kind who believe citizenship should not be automatically given to people but be earned with all the rights that entail with it. Just see the movie Starship Troopers whose adaptation actually gave Heinlein's politics the middle finger by being subversive to the book. Here his short story is adapted for the screen by the Spierig Brothers who make this topsy turvy low budget time travel film. The film starts off slowly as Ethan Hawke plays a bartender who gets into conversation with a man in a bar (who looks somewhat like Leonardo DiCaprio) in 1970. The Bartender is actually a time traveller on an assignment to stop the Fizzle Bomber who has been causing havoc for years. In 1975 he will cause an incident that will kill thousands of people. The man in the bar is called The Unmarried Mother, a man who writes for women's magazines. The character is played by Sarah Snook and it is no surprise when he reveals that he was once a woman. The Unmarried Mother tells the bartender a story that merges with the plot of the film. The events and characters are all interlinked. Predestination like the film Looper gives an interesting slant on cause and effect. It does so elegantly but there is a part of the story which it skates over knowing that there is a potential plot hole. However once the film gets going it becomes intriguing and interesting. You kind of get to know where it is going once the filmmaker reveal their hand partway through the movie. It is enjoyable but some of it does not come off, despite Snook's efforts you know she is playing a female or transgender character. Hawke does well in keeping his motivation in check for a while into the film. Predestination is bound to attract a cult following.",6 "I don't know whether to be reassured or disturbed that after more than a century a space movie like this has no more scientific verisimilitude than the 1902 ""A Trip to the Moon"" (La Voyage dans la Lune). Whatever it is: contempt for the audience, the arrogant ignorance of film makers, or the desire to cater to the 50% of people who are below average in intelligence, I find movies harder and harder to stomach, and in this case not because of the vertigo from motion sickness but from constantly rolling my eyes at the stupidity. For those who enjoyed this movie I say, ""Great."" But don't broadcast your enthusiasm too loudly if you don""t want people to know which side of the bell-shaped curve your intelligence lies.",6 "Good production. Most actors are great. Maybe a little slow (had to watch most of it at 1,5x). It's the storyline that too often swings dangerously between brillant and mediocre. Between the imperative of telling a solid story and the desire of captivating the largest set possible of target viewers. Indeed for a police drama taking place in a small town the plot feels unrealistically complex and refined. Is it believable that out of 20 characters (more or less, didn't actually count..) involved in a multiple murder case, 18 live around each other and are linked via familial or affective bonds? And then - done with the detective story - you get even deeper and deeper drama with these people by digging out old deaths, misdeeds, traumas, guilts, etc. Everything cool and masterfully fitted into the big picture... or not? It reminded me of Taylor Sheridan's writing (i.e. Yellowstone). While Sheridan bestows copiously big mind-blowing events (violence, millions of $, power, primeval behaviours, etc...) here Ingelsby treats us with the infinitely fertile psicology of the characters and their traditional small town lives (bigotry, jealousies, addiction, child-care, aging, etc..). In both cases the storylines are filled with these carefully designed incredible twists and events. In both cases they achieved mostly positive responses from the audience. And in both cases the storylines feel artificial and fake: too many details that don't work properly, too many upheavals for even the best of actors to result consistent characters. Make no mistake: if you're looking for a good recent police drama then search no more. But if you're looking for the very best, either as a detective story, as a drama or as both, then you will be disappointed.",6 "Basically a Mattel remake of Heaven Can Wait: A person travels to a separate 'reality' to better understand who they are and what they have to offer in this world, and how the two worlds are connected. Add to it the fun movie opening rip off of 2001 Space Odyssey, it's hard to say that this is a very original movie. However, Margot Robbie brings it home and grounds the emotional side of the movie beautifully. The colour palette and the messages are worthwhile, ballsy directing and old for this role but excellent Gosling make it worth seeing. Will we remember this movie few years from now? No. But doesn't mean it's not worth seeing.",7 "Glass Onion: A knives out mystery. The famous detective Benoit Blanc is traveling to Greece to be a part of an event that is a murder weekend game that is hosted by a billionaire called Miles Bron . Glass Onion was one of the movies that I've been waiting for and it didn't disappoint ! It hasn't the warmth and the smoothness of knives out neither the atmosphere . Glass Onion is very different and all what they left us is Daniel Craig , but he also seemed to be different ! I just can not avoid comparing in this case and maybe it ruined a bit the experience for me, because for me knives out was perfect and I was looking for an identical experience , that's my probably my fault . But speaking about the film by its own, it was very thrilling , everything was in front of my eyes from the beginning but somehow I didn't solve the puzzle entirely . The cast of course was interesting , I love Edward Norton and it's great to watch him again , Daniel Craig and Madelyn too... If this film wasn't a sequel , I would love it more, but I still think it's a good movie, the mystery is always there and the final reveal worth it. Finally, am I the only one who found that this film and ""The Menu"" have a lot of similar points , I mean the boat , being accidentally in the wrong place , the ending... That's a lot for a coincidence.",7 Well real issues in decent direction ... have a strong british feel to it as is its perspective so that could be better but overall it is a good watch and as for the genre should be also something to thing about ... may cause uneasy feeling after watching ... :D,8 "A group of orphans and a nun battle a demonic force personified by a creepy-looking doll in this latest installment of the The Conjuring Universe. Annabelle: Creation is a prequel-sequel to Annabelle (2014), a fictional account of Ed and Lorraine Warren's battle with an allegedly possessed Raggedy Ann doll. This film departs entirely from reality, imagining an origin story for the doll. Both critics and audiences seem to enjoy it. Overall, it had a few eye-rolling moments, but it had a few genuinely scary ones as well. Annabelle: Creation was written by Gary Dauberman and directed by David F. Sandberg. Both Dauberman and Sandberg are relatively new to their craft. Dauberman is known for previously writing Annabelle (2014) and the low-budget Swamp Devil (2008), and Sandberg has directed several short films and Lights Out (2016). The filmmakers' inexperience is probably why this movie doesn't take any risks. It is a strictly paint-by-numbers modern American horror film. It is filled with obvious bloopers, like Samuel Mullins ""tickling"" his daughter's feet when she's wearing shoes. Contemporary horror clichés abound, including an isolated, creepy old house, an unrealistically large stone well, contorting body parts popular since The Ring (2002), and police who seem strangely indifferent despite horrible crimes having been committed. Also, someone should tell the filmmakers that Catholic nuns can't hear sacramental confessions. Only a validly ordained priest or bishop can hear confessions and absolve sins. Though Annabelle: Creation adds nothing new to the genre, its popularity shows this is what horror audiences want to see. It opened at the top of the box office, pulling in approximately $35 million its opening weekend. Anecdotal evidence also attest to the film's popularity. The theater was packed when I went to see it, in stark contrast to Detroit (a far superior movie). Annabelle: Creation is overflowing with characters. In addition to Samuel and Esther Mullins (Anthony LaPaglia and Miranda Otto), there are six orphans and a nun (played by Stephanie Sigman). The orphans vary with age, from eight or nine to fifteen or sixteen years old. The youngest, Linda (Lulu Wilson) and Janice (Talitha Bateman), have a close bond. Janice had ""the Polio"" and wears a leg brace. She frees the evil spirit trapped in AnnaBelle and becomes possessed. The oldest, Nancy (Philippa Coulthard) and Carol (Grace Fulton), have a few scenes but mostly serve to run around being chased by a scarecrow. The middle girls, Tierney and Kate (Lou Lou Safran and Tayler Buck), don't really play a role in the film and are just kinda ""there."" In one departure from a typical horror film, all of the girls and their guardian survive. Lulu Wilson was also in Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016), which just happened to be the last horror movie I saw in theaters. She's a talented young actress who I hope eventually breaks out of the horror genre. As part of a prequel, the orphan plot makes little sense. The film is called Annabelle: Creation but the doll's actual creation is only shown in a brief flashback. As the movie opens, the Mullins are a happy family whose daughter is tragically killed in a hit-and-run accident. Flash forward twelve years, and we see the orphans arriving at the home. Why do the movie's main events take place over a decade later? Why not make the movie about how the doll got possessed, as its name implies? Finally, why is this movie rated-R? Its handful of gory scenes could have easily been toned down to make it PG-13. This prequel-sequel relies primarily on thrills; it isn't gratuitously violent, has no nudity, and there isn't even any swearing in it. Was it necessary to make one or two scenes so over the top the MPAA restricted its main audience (teens) from seeing it? Or were the filmmakers trying to cloak their movie in the allure of an R rating without actually making an R-rated film? As long as you don't ask too many questions, Annabelle: Creation delivers all the creepy thrills, scares, and tension an audience desires.",4 "This is my second viewing. The movie is unique because it has comedy, kung fu and fantasy. Though predictable but still good. Not a scene is wasted, characters are developed well and fighting scene is entertaining. I wish for a sequel although unlikely.",10 Even though I can't stand Ellen page this was a great season. Young 5 is such a great up and coming actor. He really nailed it. They all work well together and the show keeps you hooked.,9 "(Not sure if spoiler, don't think so, but do not want to get banned) First of all, although I love DiCaprio, he was not the best to play Gastby. He didn't capture what Gastby was really all about. DiCaprio sensationalized Gatsby more than necessary and it took away from the movie as a whole. Tobey Maguire was a perfect Nick. I must give Luhrmann that. Maguire captured all the right facial expressions, all the uncertainty and hesitance that Nick has. Mulligan was an okay choice. She grasped the fake innocence well-enough, but something was still not right about her. Debicki was an awful choice for Jordan. Jordan is a very important character in the book, she symbolizes how the old eggers also cheat and Luhrmann didn't even go over that. She was just there and Debicki didn't do very well playing a stuck-up woman. The biggest problem I have with this movie is it seemed too fake. It's hard to explain. But, when watching a movie, you should be able to delve into it, but, there are points in the movie when even the back drop was fake and it took away from the story. Also, we are suppose to feel sorry for Gatsby at the end, not Daisy. Daisy is the bad guy and Luhrmann didn't get that. At the end, he rushed through the main theme of carelessness and greed of the Buchanans that have. Instead, he makes Gatsby seem like the bad person. Luhrmann gets the idea of God watching and the Green Light very well. Wait, no, there was no mystery to what it meant. He told you. Everything was put out there, nothing to make you think. But, another thing Luhrmann failed to show was the importance of the owl-eye man. The owl- eye man has a very important role because he is the only one who sees through Gatsby's parties. But, yet he is the only one who shows up in the end. Luhrmann missed his importance. Lastly, the costumes, the scene was great. It looked just as we imagine the roaring 20s. We see the alcohol, the speakeasies, the flappers, everything we imagine 20s are, we get. Except, for the music. The music is contemporary jazz, not 20s jazz. Not the same. So, do not watch this movie for a book report.",4 "Dear readers, Dunkirk (or Dunkerque in French) is a based on history movie that recalls about the allies soldiers of World War II that had been trapped in Dunkirk, a city in Northern France. The beginning of this movie is quite epic, but after watching it, there are some critics that I need to deliver as a movie lover. The critique is about the plot itself. I love Christoper Nolan. I watched all of his movies that are always mind-blowing, so that when I watched Dunkirk, I hoped that I can see a mind-blowing movie of history of World War II. My expectation was not really fulfilled, but at least I can enjoy the beautiful landscape of war zones. Well, Nolan is not a history movies director so far, so that he must learn a lot from the history movies directors that are more experienced to create a beautiful war-plot. In Dunkirk, you can not understand the plot. Who against whom? Why he did that? Or who with whom? You could only understand it if you are history lover or if you read a lot about World War II, but that is the history movies Director's part isn't it: To make understand the audience about the history. In this Dunkirk, I am so sorry to say that Nolan did not explain the big plot before the Dunkirk events, for example there was not an explanation why the soldiers were trapped in Dunkirk and why there were the divisions of attacking strategy between Infantry, Navy, and Marine soldiers, and also there was no such a good ending to explain who finally wins Dunkirk event. Based on my experiences watching Nolan's movies, he tries to mind-blow people with the plots, but in Dunkirk, I feel just watch National Geographic series about the war. Sorry Nolan, as a big fan of your movies, please learn to make war movies plots.",7 It started off looking promising. It was intriguing. But it rapidly became hard to watch. It was pretty boring and pointless. Almost turned it off several times but stubborned it out as I'd rented it. I was being generous with my 4 stars...,4 When I want my social justice .. and I do. I want it on the news not in Marvel. Thanks.,4 "I dig watching Sandra Bullock, that's the bright spot of this movie. If it weren't for all the buzz (Netflix generated, likely) I doubt I would have checked out Bird Box. Ya got me guys. Fizzzz !!!",5 "Henry Cavill is the best thing that ever happened to this tv show. The rest of the cast is something wretched. Rainer's show in my opinion does not have the talent of not being able to conduct a similar project. In my opinion, she did not open the book at all. Everything is done on a level, and so it will come down. To write a similar script, and so wretched to shoot everything, you need to fall into complete insanity.",6 """Forrest Gump"" is the ultimate fad movie. It came out big in 1994 and created a cultural sensation. It was easy to get swept up in its panorama of American cultural history, and all of the iconic imagery in the film made it seem like it was saying something important. But all these years later, this treacly piece of rubbish is nearly intolerable. The film is full of easy sentiment and false emotion. It depicts one thing after another (the Kennedy assassination, Vietnam, Watergate, the AIDS crisis) that trigger automatic emotional responses in the audience, so that the filmmakers don't have to do any work of their own to make the material effective. But underneath the lesson in American history and the admittedly terrific soundtrack, I can't help but wonder what point the movie tries to make. Are we to applaud Forrest for his pluck and resiliency when the only reason for them is the fact that he's too simple minded to understand the things that happen to him? Are we supposed to emulate him? Is the message that we all make life too complicated, and that we all need to buckle down to the only things that really matter, like love of country, God and our dear ol' mama? If so, gag. Tom Hanks is a winning presence in the film, and if anyone was going to be able to carry this story along, I imagine he did just as good a job as anyone else would have. But the only character worth watching as far as I'm concerned is poor little Jenny, played valiantly by Robin Wright Penn, who comes closer than anyone to playing an actual human being, despite the film's tendency to chew her character up and spit her out. This movie is like a box of chocolates...too much of it and you'll be sick. Grade: C-",4 Fun movie to watch whenever you're bored. You could be in any mood to watch this film.,7 Just another Michael bay movie : explode & slow motion......a lot of them. Again and again.,4 "I had high hopes for this film. The time period, location and people involved has influenced and shaped world-culture. Now, the production values are top notch, and everything looks authentically 60's, but that's all to it. However, the sad truth is that this movie is all style and lacks any true depth. First, the movie does not have an engaging plot. There's no interesting or witty dialogue, as we have come to expect from Tarantino, and no captivating scenes. In the theatre, I was waiting patiently to find a red thread or engaging story, but what we are left with is superficial beauty, expensive cars, mansions, pomp and style. Perhaps this was Tarantino's intent, to blind the audience with Hollywood ""glory"". The strange take Tarantino has on the Sharon Tate/Manson ordeal reveals quite a bit, as if he is trying to please someone. I understand the title of the movie refers to a fairy-tale-version of Hollywood, but by God, what a dull movie. We are left with an empty husk of a film, that will expire, and be forgotten as soon as the ""fanboys"" stop staring directly into the big, fake Hollywood sun.",3 I like the storyline and characters... Season 1 was amazing... Season 2 would be amazing but the ending ruined the full mark..,9 "Very well written with deep layers of important satirical messages & themes.

Its idea is singular enough to deserve a place among the better films of Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh is superb in his alternating personalities as himself and his fan. This film stands apart from his other films in many ways--there are no songs; there are pretty long chase sequences; and there are no lead actresses. Shahrukh Khan runs his own show, and you cannot complain even for a second. I found it hard to turn away from my screen. Although the first half is better written than the second, I won't complain. A test of an actor's portrayal of a role can be if one could imagine some other actor being able to do it better, and in this case I can't think of any other actor who could have done justice to this role. I think Shahrukh has given us the kind of film which he would be remembered for. This film is a self-deprecating humor statement of Shahrukh Khan. Many of the scenes of the film remind us of his earlier movies--there is the rooftop chase sequence of Main Hoon Na, then a scene reminiscent of the Alps from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Perhaps, the dialogues could have been written a little better. Overall, an important milestone for Shahrukh and an absolute must-watch for his fan.",7 "Mark Mylod's 'The Menu', I found to be a rather callous and ostentatious take on the 'Psychological Thriller' genre. With its heavy reliance on shock factor and off-key symbolism, the film's over-indulgent liberties left my brain sore. Understood as being a twisted social critique, against a darkly lit satirical backdrop, Chef Slowik's apron may as well have been a Bateman-esque clear raincoat, in the director's attempt to stand among the greats of its kind. But unlike American Psycho (and other's of its calibre), it was not 'the other shoe' that would drop, but rather a dropping of the ball; a consequence of trying to juggle too many. In cramming all the half-baked themes and shallowly explored characters, onto the audience's plate, it left a sensory and thematic overload, lacking coherence and the delicate, nuanced care, that defines the celebrated films the genre. Even Ralph Fiennes' compelling performance was overshadowed by the dense mediocrity that crowded the peripheral. However, I praise Mylod and Will Tracey's original concept against the present saturation of biographies and recycled Marvel plot lines. Simply in need of refinement. 4 stars.",4 "I just began watching this last night and I haven't wanted to stop since then. As someone who was bullied in the past I can really appreciate the awareness that this raises about loneliness and the level of severity it can reach based on people's senseless cruelty. I read a comment someone wrote saying they could not appreciate the ""trivial"" nature of the specific situations that created each reason why. I have to wholeheartedly disagree with that, simply because no matter how small the issue may appear to us on the outside looking in, despair comes in all forms. I feel that we as people deserve to hear and be heard when it comes to that. As wrong as it is, often times it takes a tragedy for anyone to have the thought cross their mind to act to prevent said tragedies. Just by beginning to watch this it has heightened my awareness of the related issues of loneliness, despair, and bullying. To people who say that anyone giving any sort of outcry for help is just seeking attention, maybe. That may be true. But either way they deserve to get enough attention to be able to determine if there really is an underlying problem there. I have not yet finished the episodes, but I can only applaud the producers, directors, and actors that participated in making this series possible. I feel like it will and has already had an impact on how people view these situations.",8 "How many times can you sit and watch a human being? aim a gun at somebody else's head and fire into their brain and watch it explode out the back, over and over and over? (after, of course, shooting their bodies 2-3 times before applying the kill shot) Or should I ask who would sit and watch this? Mindless, endless, pointless violence. It should sicken you. But over the course of over 2 hours it just goes on and on and on. In a video game you would score points? and ""win?"" We are numb to pointless violence? If you can sit through this whole mess then I guess yeah. Some say it's edge of your seat exciting. There is a lot of action. A comic book semblance of a story which does nothing more than to provide an excuse to watch humans crush, break, dis-member, shoot, stab, pierce eyeballs with knives and yes, blow others brain out the back of their head. Nauseating. Tiresome. Stupid. I gave it two stars because it has good stars, good production value. 1, 2. It's fun to watch Lawrence Fishburne, Ian McShane, Asia K. Dillon. There are a few moments of entertainment.. It could have been cut back but about 90% and the movie wouldn't have suffered. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there isn't enough movie here without all the endless violence. That's... just... sad...",2 "I'm not too much into comics but this series is not only for comics and superheroes lovers (although the original drawings are amazing).

My major complaint was the continuity in the opening sequence. It was breathtakingly awesome with amazing stunts, one-liners, gorgeous scenery, gorgeous actors, fast paced & thrilling BUT did nobody on set or in the editing suite notice the driver's cap? It was on then it was off then it was on then it was off, on, off, on, off until that was all I could see on the screen, totally distracted me.",6 The show is well produced and has a good cast and an interesting plot but the underhanded jabs at Christianity is utterly ridiculous. I would like to see them take jabs at Islam.,8 "Quirky, unique and mysterious, WandaVision, started phase 4 of the MCU in superb fashion. There is nothing quite like this series and I wonder if there ever will be. I left each episode confused (in a good way) and wondering how everything was going to come together. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany fully embraced the unconventional approach on storytelling and delivered brilliant performances. While Wanda's powers have grown from powerful to extraordinary, I am curious to see how the little guys (like Sam, Scott and Clint) can keep up. Even with the previous core players gone, the future is bright for the MCU in the hands of this new generation of heroes.",9 "Written by and starring a very naked Jason Segel, I thought this film would be incredibly easy to identify with, given that it dealt with a man who didn't see his breakup with his hot girlfriend coming in close on the horizon, until the very last minute. Starring as musician Peter Bretter, his relationship with the titular Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) came to an unexpected end with her cheating on him and moving on with new beau, rocker Aldous Snow (Russell Brand). And for the most parts initially, it was easy to identify with, really, what with his failure to accept reality, and his brooding and incessant whining to friends and family, which are primarily set up for laughs. But the best bits of the comedic aspects of the story were included in the trailer, leaving only but the bland and tired one liners in the movie that failed to elicit laughter. You can almost predict how scenes are engineered toward a certain punchline, and that expectation drew away any semblance of a genuine ha-ha. The usual pop cultural references were just there, but gone are the honestly sincere approach at making a mickey out of them. So what did Forgetting Sarah Marshall really get at? It was actually more of a classic romantic story instead, and brings to the screen very vividly, relationship challenges and issues in today's world, coupled with basic bugbears like Expectations. In a Hawaii getaway, nothing's worse than spending a vacation alone in a romantic location and bumping into your ex with her new beau in tow, living in the, horrors, next room. But Peter's luck took a change with the opportunity presented in a pretty hotel staff Rachel Jansen (Mila Kunis), who in movie land would be single and available and just about finds him attractive in a certain way too. So here the dynamics get set up as we play observers to two pairs of relationships in parallel - one where sex rules above all, the other just budding with almost everything being fine and dandy. Until of course one looks back constantly over the shoulder at what was, and almost always start to appreciate things that once were. While it's always easy to do that and mope, it takes a lot of strength to be able to say no, and move on. We take comfort in the things tried and tested and sometimes lack the courage to venture out and take on life's challenges head on, but have to realize that moments that are past should stay buried in the past, and not forgo and give up opportunities to start afresh. And when you do, treasure it, and not be a dick. What I truly enjoyed in the movie, is how perceptions of oneself are likely to be skewed, where in many scenes we may sympathize with certain characters for being receiving the short end of the stick. But like how it takes two hands to clap, we're also presented the larger picture through revealing flashbacks, and realize that hey, sometimes we are selfish to always think about ME, and fail to see things from the other person's perspective, especially of loved ones whom we tend to lapse into taking for granted. Never mind if supporting cast from the Apatow Clan like Paul Rudd and Jonah Hill are here to lend comedic support to the film. Forgetting Sarah Marshall triumphs for its earnest reminder about the basic things that make a relationship, and the easiest ways to break one stemming from complacency and the lack of honesty.",7 "Yes it has a hyperbole. Russia is not that ruthless or cruel. But I didn't watch it expecting to see a real life unbiased and objective documentary. So in that regards I was not disappointed. If you watch the movie with a light mood, expecting to watch a thriller with twists and good acting and beautiful scenes you will be entertained and amused. I believe sometimes our expectations are unrealistic. I used to have unrealistic expectations of movies, tv series or any kind of art. I was constantly unhappy. When I lowered my expectations I started enjoying art again. This is a 2 hour movie you are most likely going to have fun and end up with a smile and happiness and enjoyment.",10 "This movie could have been better. The production was great, the cinematography was excellent. Expected a well-rounded story but once again these new action movies are all about choreographed action scenes, martial arts, and cannon-fodder soldiers of probably the entire Bangladeshi police force which the characters in this movie just wipe out like they were shooting cardboard targets - it was ridiculous. If I wanted this I'd play an arcade shooter video game instead of watching a film.",5 "This movie is dreadful. How many cheesy tropes can be crammed into 2 hours? Tune in to find out. Characters have 0 depth. The guy who is obviously a terrible person, you guessed it, is the antagonist. Craig, the only hold over is the only actual actor in the movie but even he is a caricature of his character from the first movie. Norton shows just how washed he is, Kate Hudson that she has never been good and the rest are comedic actors, B listers and Dave Bautista who Netflix shoehorns into literally everything. Hudson plays Kate Hudson, vapid as always, Bautista plays a roided wanna be be Alex Jones, Kathryn Hahn plays herself, and Norton plays the worst villain ever conjured.",2 "Sit Back, Relax, and Enjoy the Joyride that Kangana a.k.a. Queen takes us through. However, the ride wouldn't be same without the supporting characters; all of them detailed really well. The ride wouldn't also be same without the Rocking music of Amit Trivedi. And How can I not mention Vikas Bahl here? Quality Direction;Quality Screenplay. Too many names; too little space. With Big names such as Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane involved in Editing and Production as well; the product had to be Top Notch. A movie that would require the audience to connect with the Lead Character; eventually got me connected to all the characters, including Vijay played by Rajkummar Rao. I am sure most guys (at-least in their heads) can relate to that lad. Some scenes were executed perfectly. Some Punchlines were too good. Kudos to the whole Team. Kangana gave it all in this movie. She was immersed deep in the character. Her dialogue delivery;her posture;her expressions. One of the finest performances I have seen by any Bollywood Actress in Long time. From the right perspective; you can see that Queen has many messages. Highlights the issue that women do face in this country. Don't tell me i am wrong ; THEY DO. Overall; A MUST WATCH. Salute to the QUEEN.",8 "Out of the current group of psychological + supernatural horror films, perhaps none has as successfully combined grief, trauma, and shame as competently as Talk to Me (and I say that having loved the Babadook and Barbarian). Mia's choices are bad. But the film sets up reasons why Mia (and her peers) make the self-destructive decisions, with an obvious but not brow-beating comparison to drug usage and addiction. One thing this film does better in comparison to other films focusing on teenagers is the relationships with the parents. Miranda Otto is strikingly believable as an exhausted, overly-harsh mother with both a cruel and a kind streak. Mia's father is both distant and loving, lost in his own kind of impenetrable adult grief. The script doesn't try too hard to lean into teen-speak and allows the teenage characters to actually use acting skills to relay the relationships between them, instead of throwing a lot of corny exposition at us. The actor portraying Riley is entirely suited to a young teenager seeking approval from his cooler, older friends. The only slight negative is that the plot point with Mia's mother is a little overtread by other films, but Talk to Me is otherwise an incredible film that should stand out among 2023 offerings, even beyond the horror genre.",9 "I guess I shouldn't really have expected anything else from Michael Bay, but he hits a new low with this movie. It's just über violence from beginning to end, punctuated with an endless stream of obscenities and a typically sexist portrayal of women. They must have paid Reynolds a ridiculous amount of money to appear in this rubbish. However, if you like Bay's style of movies then you may just love it.",1 "Kareena is very very bubbly, talkative and friendly girl who met a depressed Shahid in a train. Then both reach Bhatinda. In between, they share their joys and sorrows. Love triangle and human life when in love and after failure in love is well performed by Karina. Music 🎵 is very pleasing especially Aaoge Jab Tum Saajna, Angnaa Phool Khilenge this is a masterpiece. Having Punjabi family and their costumes enrich the presentation of on-screen characters. This film is filled with Fun, Comedy, Seriousness, Love, Emotions, Music, overall a complete family film to enjoy with any age group. This review is written on 28 Feb 2022, 15 years after the release of the movie. And of course, Karina is the best in this movie. Next is Shahid.",8 Loved all the characters. I'm just not for the idea of name change from black falcon to captain America 🙄.can't wait for season two . All the personalities where on point .,9 "And Tony Stark did it again and in a better way to take to the leading point of where we are really wanting to see and be part of it, with the help of Robert Downy Jr. to represent a great character that we all admire...Iron Man. Comparing between Iron man 1 & Iron man 2, 2 was actually a lot more like having the same aspects that 1 had, Thriller, Entertainment and a great screenplay with astonishing effects to make you live the targeted experience. There wasn't that much new change or difference in 2 that we didn't catch on 1 except for that there were so many ROBOTS. The conclusion is, Iron man 2 is not one of those movies that will be immortal in your mind, it's not one of those movies that will remain on the talk between people forever, It's just a perfect movie for entertaining that will make you enjoy every second of it, It's a must popcorn movie.",7 "If you love the 80's film noir, you'll love this. If you like 'who dunnits' you'll love this. If you like Steve Martin & Martin Short, you'll love this... fact is, it's an old fashioned murder mystery, with great characters and I even loved Selina Gomez in this too! Watch it, you won't be disappointed 9/10 (and only marked down as episodes were short and I was left wanting more).",9 "First season was an unexpected pleasure. The second however, totally unnecessary, waste of time. If you enjoyed the 1st, steer well clear. Unless you like bad story with vulgar language.",5 "I tried to like this show overlooking the dreadful sitcoms references, the lack of coherent storytelling. I kept thinking this is all going to pay off. Guess what I felt like I was in my college level algebra class...and honey I was truly lost in that class.This show is a complete and total failure with lame characters and plots. What was Marvel thinking when they put out this trash. I tried to like it but all I got from it was a itchy brain.",2 Did not find the movie engaging at all. It does not live up to all the hype portrayed in the media. Average production. The soundtrack is quite good though.,5 "Okey well, as always the book is always better than the movie! This movie is a 7/10 without doubt, there are some good animations and the sound is a okey but there's some magic missing that the book had..",5 "Strong performances across the board, from Christopher Nolan's direction, to the actors, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt shines...there are LOTS OF EXPLANATIONS...how the dream levels work, expansion of time, construction of dreamscapes, yadda yadda yadda...the effects are top notch but I'm not much of a fan of ""dream"" movies...something weird happens and someone wakes up...and then I'll realize that ""oh yeah....the guy was just having a dream...."" ...and Bobby Ewing WASN'T REALLY KILLED !....grrrrr ......read ""deus ex machina"".....all in all it was pretty good, though....and I'll rent it and see it again just to enjoy the enjoyable aspects of it....but I DON'T agree that it is the masterpiece that it has been rated to be..... So I woke up this morning and wondered if I had really gone to the movies last night to see ""Inception""...and I firmly grabbed hold of my favorite little toy and realized that I WAS awake and I HAD NOT really seen it....but then, I REALLY woke up and realized that I had........MAYBE.....",6 They truth is top Boring and very predicable but isnt thr worst móvie oficina the history keep relaxing you'll forget it.,4 "I expected a far worse plot, bad acting and an overall bad movie but this is not the case for me. I've seen a lot of bad films and this doesn't compare to these at all. I simply don't understand the bad acting - argument. The plot was a solid survival story - set in a mysterious apocalyptic world. Sure, the ending was kind of open to interpretation. (reminded me of Wells' ""Country of the Blind"") In short, it doesn't explain why the people had to endure this scenario. If you like unsettling movies this is one of them, no horror, your mind does the trick. As this movie is aimed at a bigger audience, I believe that a lot of people haven't dealt with these kind of movies or stories before and are desperate for an explanation at the end. (hence these incredibly bad reviews) You can question this movie in all aspects or you can just watch it and enjoy the adventure. This isn't bad nor good but entertaining!",6 "Scarlet Witch/Wanda is my all-time favourite comic character and this show does her justice. Massive fan of Elizabeth Olsen as well. I've only seen the first 2 episodes but can only think of 2 things I wish could have been different (But I realise is more up to Disney than the creators/writers). Firstly, it would be great if this was R rated to give more of the ""Get Out"" type psychological thriller vibe (Which they wouldn't do because it's Disney). Secondly, they could also make the episodes longer if they're going to be releasing them weekly instead of all at once. Apart from that, I have nothing to complain about and can't wait for the next episode!",9 "Civil War is a standalone movie drenched in a stupendous show of power, ideologies and action weaved into a meaningful plot and crafted with finesse by the Russo brothers. Oh Captain! My Captain! Captain America is the luckiest Avenger in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for three reasons. The number one being he never ages (Come on man! that's pretty cool. Imagine what you would do with that!), Secondly, he had to deal with only one real villain in his entire trilogy of films, and that also was kinda non existent (Red Skull was as ugly as he was stupid), and thirdly and finally, because two of his three films were directed by two visionary directors who appreciate the very aesthetics of Comic Book movies, and are not afraid to challenge the formulaic plot boiler; The Russo Brothers Captain America: Civil War is a blockbuster, in every sense of the term but not because of Captain America or his prehistoric ideals, it is because of the dangerous and colorful array of characters that join him in this movie. Each scene and subplot are taken care with sterling craftsmanship, and not for even once you are made to feel that the story exists only to give mold to the action sequences. (Zack Snyder, are you listening?). Age of Ultron shoved a tremendous amount of information into our faces, which the Russo brothers slyly avoid. You can separate between the arc of story you should be following and the one that is on a need-to-know basis. The distinctions between the ideals of Captain America and Iron Man are clearly stated from the first arrival of either characters. We all had a little concern over how they would fit Bucky as the reason for the entire devastating stand off, but as it turns out, the film is actually Captain Buchanan Barnes: T'Challa War. Because both The Winter Soldier and Black Panther had a lot more to add than we were promised in the trailers. And nobody's complaining! Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther has been a perfect example of casting. His grave, ideological approach to the Civil War is often needed, as he is the only character who supports neither Tony or Steve, but is dead set on his set of notions, which he carries on till the end. Tom Holland does a beautiful job as the new Spiderman. His quick witted replies, inquisitiveness in this hyper mumbo jumbo is often veered towards caricature but that is actually what Spiderman is all about. He is the guy who jokes about the Infinity Gauntlet as an 'old fashioned glove' on Thanos' face. So clearly we finally have a Spiderman which is much closer to the comics, not disagreeing to the fact that Tobey McGuire will always have a special place in our hearts. (Come on, Andrew Garfield was ehh!) The tiff between Steve and Tony is something that will really claw you nerves. Even if you are steadfast on a single team, several moments will question your own decision making? Is Captain actually right? Does Tony actually mean well? there are moments when the singular line of their motives are blurred but each of them are stuck with their own set of beliefs, something each responsible and powerful being must do. The airport fight sequence is hands down the best superhero action sequence you will ever see. And kudos to the duo for taking even a handful of characters from the universe so vast and creating such a perfect film. The only problem which I had with the movie that it was supposed to be the end of a Captain America trilogy; but honestly Steve reaches nowhere near closure. Maybe that was intentional, something to ponder upon, is a concrete ending necessary or is the legacy of Captain America as vast as his courage? Captain America: Civil War is a magnum opus, something which changes the way you approach something fictional by incorporating it into the part and parcel of the world, and yet it does it with such splendour, you often wish it was true!",7 "The only thing I will take from this beautiful series is that 'Unacademy is the only place to study for UPSC'. Jokes apart, this is a good example of how a good series can lose some steam due to stupid advertising.",8 "Sure hyperconnected millennials must find this very compelling since it just mimics their lives glued to screens. But as a cinema endeavour it was certainly a false good idea, akin to the 100% subjective camera 1947 Lady in the Lake. I mean this is an interesting narrative device to compress the time and establish suspense but as always thou shalt not overuse fancy techniques. Technique is not the movie, technique is barely at your disposal to make good use of it. Had it been a cheap student project limited to a 1-hour runtime, it could have been brilliant. As such it is pretty frustrating to have to sit through a montage of people clicking away (mostly the father interacting with his computers, phone and his daughter's computer). IMHO it totally detracted from the objective of building up empathy for John Cho's character. Basically it put us in the head of an IT forensics officer rather than in the head of a father fighting fate. Yet it is well-assembled, John Cho does a fine job and there is a clever (if rushed) ending. So, not totally annoying but quite frustrating.",5 "Seasons 1 and 2 were pretty fun and entertaining. Solid 7-8... BUT WOW, did season 3 dissapoint. So unnecessarily cheesy. Forced jokes, awkwardly forced ""emotional"" scenes that didn't land. Nonsensical dialogue, endless plot holes and messy storyline. Too bad.",6 "After a long time after #@SimahadaMariSainya #Nagarhole children movie, @777charlie fills the void! Excellent movie with emotional rollercoaster journey for kids n adults alike!! Must watch with all family members!!",10 "If you're a teenager or a young adult looking for something entertaining, inspiring and actually helpful, do yourself a favor and go watch Merlí instead. Now that's a life-changing show.",1 "Spoiler alert, these movies are Rocky revisited. To be honest, i fell asleep about a third of the way through. I feel like these movies are made for Dory, exact same formula with a few alterations to the same suit to make it fit the fattened audience. Same hero defying all the corrupt world leaders, yet still managing to stay loyal. Same chase seen where hero is getting shot at by dozens of bad guys who you wonder how they got to be bad guys if they can never hit their target? Same endless cut and paste car chase with car doors removed, driving downstairs and against traffic. Same 'romance'. Same scene where Ethan runs fast with karate chop hands. These movies engage the senses with lots of explosions because they cannot engage the brain with character development.",2 "I loved this!!!! Thought all involved on screen did an exactly job. Loved the actors, were all excellent. To me it was a quirky way to present the story. Was familiar with the historical background the movie was based, but not the movie itself; only a very brief description here on IDMB before I rented on Prime Video. Watched this in May of 2023, over a year after it was made and released. This is all just my opinion. I'm 66 yrs young and loved anything related pre-1950's. Reminds me of my folks. Enjoyed the production very much. Stuck to the period. Plus music soundtrack was good too. I enjoyed, wish it had done better box-office and kinder reviews.",10 "As a full-on action movie, this one is definitely great but as a whole, it's not and for the story..well it doesn't have any. Pros: The movie is full of action specifically close combat like john wick. So, if you like that kind of stuff it's enjoyable. Faults: First of all, whoever has worked as the guide towards Bangladeshi culture and language, that guy needs to get fired. They mixed Bangladeshi Bangla with Kolkata Bangla which is significantly different in use of words and accents. This made the movie quite unrealistic. Last but not least, color grading was awful.",6 "It's burdensome to come off of the colossal success of both Black Panther and Infinity War, two films that took a more serious and mature route in terms of the MCU's direction. This can make Ant-Man and the Wasp feel like a illustration of refreshment, but also one of a curse due to its ""simplistic yet guilty"" formula. Yes, it's perfectly enjoyable to watch and mildly humorous, but at what cost? We're back to the typical, forgettable, cliche superhero formula directed towards the lesser, more bland category of Marvel's many entries. If I'm being completely honest, it's starting to become ever so exhausting. (Verdict: C+)",3 "Very surprised at Yates and Rowling for this. You've got a great Harry Potter director and the creator of Harry Potter herself, you expect more, I certainly did. Worst Harry Potter related film thus far.",1 "The power of Storytelling shows up here with every sequence, various Background scores are engaging and refreshing which makes a great time for those who want to experience something that is never before.... After a few initial episodes, I'm thinking that how the makers Justify the various aspects of story and their connection with real world...and guess what they did it handsomely...",7 "This is not a SciFi movie. The you look beneath the surface (no pun intended) it is a conventional love story with cliched structures. Obviously the movie owes a lot to 50's B movies (one especially comes to mind) and you can't knock the acting. But the plot and direction is simplistic and it takes from otherwise strong performances, especially from Sally Hawkins, who plays the lead role. See it to see why it just won best film but don't expect to be blown away.",5 It is literally impossible to dissociate Douglas's daughter here from his real-life wife in Chicago. Is it the same wig?! It feels weird. And it feels like they think we forgot it...mostly.,3 Many people worry when you bring this many characters together that each character gets diluted. This can be true in some cases but this movie does a great job balancing it all. The fight scenes are amazing and really set the MCU up for some interesting sequels.,10 They always tried to show misconception about Bangladesh. this isn't done at all. you guys have no right to do that. before making a movie u should research about what u r doing.they are trying their best to extract Indian people's money hahaha,3 "I wish I had enjoyed it, given the Tim Burton credential, and my moviegoer love for this director and his nightmarish visions and lovable weird characters. But this is no Tim Burton per se creation, it is a Netflix series, Netflix flows in its veins from the start, from the trailer and the ""Paint it Black"" cover (which somehow sounds like the cover of the Westworld cover), and the buzz around it. I was expecting ""Wednesday"" but watching it was like a cold shower, going back to reality, Netflix reality that is : pleasing the majority of its users, transforming the Addams girl into an obnoxious teen in school with her peers, obnoxious teens. Then there was no point in the Addams pariah basis. And no point in keeping watching the series.",1 "Lets be honest folks, its not great. Loved the first episode, but it's really losing steam now. Better be an amazing twist coming or Im leaving super hero nonsense and becoming the 40 year old my wife thought she was marrying.",5 "When an imprisoned drug lord's son is kidnapped by a rival drug lord he tasks a close friend with the job of retrieving his son from his rival. Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) is a black market mercenary hired to bring the drug lord's son home in what proves to be one of his toughest assignments to date... It's probably fair to say that if you choose to sit down and watch Extraction that you're unlikely to be blown away by its story; however if you are a fan of action films with plenty of shoot em up sequences then you should find this film to be relatively enjoyable. Arguably the biggest flaw with this film lies with the story itself; 2 drug lords are at war with each other but we're never really given any explanation as to what their beef is with each other? Still as I've said this doesn't really matter in the moment as there is always something happening in this film (shoot outs and fisticuffs come thick and fast in this picture) which, in fairness, is what you'd come to expect with films of this nature. Hemsworth does a solid job (he's a good physical presence, but unlike some of his counterparts that we see in action films he also does well from an 'acting' perspective as well). The villains are a little clichéd, but nobody disgraces themselves here. Although it feels a little generic and underwritten the fast pace and neat actions sequences make it worthwhile.",6 "Were you the one clamoring for a sequel to the year 2000 Samuel L. Jackson SHAFT (the sequel to the original 1971 Richard Roundtree SHAFT)? Did you remember there WAS a 2000 version of SHAFT? Do you remember the 1971 SHAFT? Doesn't matter. The makers of this film certainly don't remember those films for - besides casting Jackson and Roundtree - there is no similarity to either of these films. The first SHAFT was a Blacksploitation film starring Roundtree with mucho gunfire and bloodshed and SHAFT 2000 (as I'll call it) is a full on action flick with Jackson as Roundtree's nephew fighting crime. SHAFT 2019 is none of these - the Samuel L. Jackson Shaft is now the SON of Richard Roundtree and partners with his son JJ ,John Shaft, Jr. (played by Jessie T. Usher) to investigate the death of his friend. Okay...fine. I can forgive the change in tone and the ""tweak"" (I'm being generous) to the timeline. What I can't forgive is the weak script (why write any good, or interesting, dialogue when we can have all of the characters say Samuel L. Jackson's signature motherf*^#er over and over) by 3 different writers (never a good sign) that were all, clearly, just in it for the paycheck. Jessie T. Usher (he played Will Smith's son in the also ill-advised sequel to INDEPENDENCE DAY) is a bland lead with no gravitas and no swagger that starts out young and naive and is supposed to develop (under the tutelage of his father) street smarts but, really, just becomes annoying. Regina Hall (GIRLS TRIP), Titus Welliver (BOSCH), Method Man (!) and Luna Lauren Velez (DEXTER) are all sleepwalking through underwritten roles just counting the minutes until they can take their paychecks to the bank. At the heart of all of this ""missed opportunities"" is Director Tim Story (RIDE ALONG) he directs this film like he has someplace else to be, never missing an opportunity to be obvious (for example, JJ's friend - Karim - who's death sparks what passes for a plot in this film - might as well be walking around with a ""Dead Man Walking"" sign on him). Story's direction is lazy (and that's doing injustice to the word lazy) and obvious with no spark of ingenuity or imagination to be found. And then there's Samuel L. Jackson as SHAFT. He defines the term ""sleepwalking through the picture"" looking bored and uninterested throughout and HE'S THE BEST THING IN THE FILM! Thank goodness his charisma and charm ooze out of him without really trying - for he didn't really try here. Save 2 hours of your life - skip SHAFT - you'll be glad you did. Letter Grade: C 4 Stars (out of 10) and you can take this to the Bank(ofMarquis)",4 "This is ,unfortunately, a cinematic catastrophe, and all my expectations that I might have had before like this being the most original film of the year that might open a new page in the sci-fi genre, proved completely and utterly misconceived, to say the least. This is simply the most overrated film after Nolan's Dark Knight, supposedly intended to represent a pinnacle of intellectualism, originality, and ideas never before even hinted at. But, all in all, this is nothing but two and a half hours of utter and sheer nonsense, a real viewing terror, a debasement of a genre! It is in the limitless realm of quasi-Freudian, or is it Yungian ?, philosophy, e.g., a dream fixing, and the main actors are faced with a difficult task of deciphering the way to create the dream within the dream within the dream, and when you expect to see some true scary Freudian elements or dream symbolisms of destruction and, God Forbid, sex, no, you are left in the cold with your feet dangling in the aforementioned 'within loops', as sexuality, as we all know, is the source of all the modern evils, and as this film is intended for all and sundry, e.g. like a pleasant, 'wellness ' relaxation after a really exhausting 3-hour shopping spree, the family must let some steam off in the nearby cinema, and ,voila, Inception is here with a correctly calibrated dose of illogical shooting and explosions ( at least I got to see the technology and weapons the Alpine units today use ), and ,yes, not only DiCaprio survives , everybody else fares the same, so have no fear, Nolan is here! But, the damn time, it just won't follow the film's logic, 140 minutes is a heck of a time to kill the boiling fury over this total waste of money, time and personal dignity. Thank God for Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien series and a million other films. Crisis in the screenplay department has really surpassed the worst personal expectations, now even the illiterate are writing … Just horrible",1 "Superbad its certainly not, ever since American Pie and Road Trip there has been so many of these so called college kid comedy's released over and over most of which don't deserved to be in the same category as American Pie and Road Trip, so when i saw a trailer of this i thought here we go again just another teen comedy that will just be another big disappointment, but i have to say that Superbad is really good had me in stitches time and time again. The three main characters grow on you the more you get into this movie especially mclovin' so many of the scenes that he is in are truly great. Highly recommended for anyone who is a fan of American Pie and Road Trip, a guaranteed laugh out load comedy. A nice change to see a comedy that can honestly stand next to the likes of American Pie and Road Trip and not look inferior. 9/10",9 "Suberb.. Must watch movie. Absolutely amazing performances I hv no words to describe, It's not just a movie it's an emotion and bonding with Charlie, Hats of you team and Rakshit Shetty.",10 "I want to start my review by saying I am unfamiliar with the video game this is based on and I am not a fan of the ""zombie"" genre... i.e. Take what I have to say with a huge grain of salt. My husband is a huge post-apocalyptic and zombie genre fan...so I have sat through just about everything out there since the 70's, and even some classics like White Zombie. I really like Pedro Pascal and I thought were no issues with the acting in episode one...but what it really lacked was the heart or the emotional connection. That ""make me care"" factor. It was so bleak and really offered nothing new to the whole zombie story that I won't be watching any more. It was day of the dead meets day of the triffids.",2 "Great CGI effects & a truly Oscar-worthy performance by Gary Sinise as Lt. Dan. Tom Hanks is a one-trick pony in this movie, how he got the Best Actor Oscar that year over Morgan Freeman was a crime. This movie is a pandering treacly love letter to the baby boom generation, with a barely concealed right-wing prejudice, beginning from Forrest's service in Vietnam all the way through to the ""resolution"" with Jenny at the end. With that said, though, it is hugely entertaining and an American movie through and through. I found certain parts of this film exceedingly offensive, Zemeckis dumbs down this movie almost to the level of Gump himself . . .maybe that was the point he was trying to make. Watch this film and ask yourself ""What is Robert Zemeckis saying about what makes a good American?"" Forrest seems to have made the ""right"" choices and been at the ""right place at the right time"" for the last 45 years. Those who are wrong according to the director's vision seem to pay a heavy price. So is Zemeckis saying that idiocy disguised as innocence and naivety is a patriotic, even AMERICAN quality?",4 "As a Chinese, I really can't believe this movie is on the top 250 list! This is one of the most superficial movies I have ever seen. The nationalism dialog and the detract of Japanese and the unrealistic display of Kung Fu is almost a joke. I voted for 1 not only because it's a bad movie, but also for a protest. I cant this one can have a higher score of the real masterpieces of Chinese movie. This is UNBELIEVABLE! For those who interested in Chinese movie, I recommend Zhang Yimou's 'Lifetimes Living', Kaige Chen's 'Farewell My Concubine' and Jiang Wen's 'Devils on the Doorstep'. These are all masterpieces, revealing the real mental attitude of Chinese people and the historical appearance of Chinese society. For those who interested in Kung Fu movie, Jackie Chan is better, Bruce Lee is always good. All in all, FORGET THIS ONE!!!",1 "Batman has always been my favourite superhero and I thought that the first two movies in this franchise were very good. It was almost a shock to me then that when I finished watching 'The Dark Knight Rises' I felt a sense of disappointment. All of the reviews I had read or heard rated this as a brilliant movie but unfortunately for me, it didn't impress me anywhere near as much as I thought it would and obviously I need to explain why; THE BAD; Despite a pretty good opening section, the movie took too long to get going and I actually felt bored at some points. The movie is too long, definitely. At least twenty minutes could be trimmed from this. Catwoman. I love her character but I couldn't even see why she had to be in this movie and a couple of her scenes with Batman were cringe worthy. She should have had a Batman movie where she was the main villain and this felt like padding to me. I wasn't 100% convinced that Anne Hathaway was right for the part, she was OK but that's about all. I see that plenty of reviewer's here have singled her for praise but she isn't at the top of my Catwoman list, that's for sure. I also didn't think that the relationship between Batman and Catwoman worked particularly well, indeed it's the least convincing I have seen and I include the Adam West version in that statement! A couple of scenes featuring Alfred and Batman were cheesy to say the least and not that brilliantly acted. THE GOOD; The closing forty minutes or so were very well done and quite gripping. The twist towards the end was good and I didn't see it coming. The acting is generally good especially from Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy and Christian Bale. Some of the settings look fabulous and the music fits the mood perfectly. 'The Dark Knight Rises' isn't a bad movie but it isn't a great one either. I fully expect to get ripped to pieces for this review but it is honest and I still think that 'Batman Begins' is the best of the three.",5 "This show has a solid cast and production budget but I just couldn't get into it. I love Neil Gaiman's other shows about good and evil (Lucifer and American Gods) but this one was just ""meh"" for me. I laughed once in the first three episodes, so it doesn't have that typical dark humour. In my opinion, Tenant and Sheen were too over the top in their roles, trying too hard.",1 "The movie is really nothing special. I cannot imagine how it ended even as a Oscar nomination, let alone as a winner. The ending is laughable, the moment when the main character speaks to his toddler-sun is just so artificial, so uncalled and so patch on that it makes the movie looking even worse that during the previous scenes. The only reason I give 2 stars instead of 1 is because of the realistic sniper shoot out. It does not add any value to the plot or the idea at all, but it is a nice scene. If you can watch this somewhere, its more than enough. Oscar material?! Not by a 10 km long sniper shot!",2 "I was very disappointed with Avatar 2. After waiting 13 years, my hopes were high for an amazing film. However, what I found was that it focused too much on character recognition without an engaging storyline. It feels like a visually stunning display of art with a disappointingly flat plot. I was expecting a sequel full of intense action and vivid conflict. Unfortunately, what I found were ambiguous conflicts, particularly those involving birth and migration within a water tribe or the like, that lacked clarity and interest. In addition, the duration of the film that is too long makes it even more boring. Avatar 2 was supposed to be something new but was so similar to the previous Avatar that it made me less interested in watching it a second time. I expect there will be significant improvements in narrative and plot development in future sequels. While stunning visuals are the film's main draw, a strong story and engaging plot remain important factors in the overall viewing experience.",3 "This is what a movie must give to us. Distraction and fun, 2 hours of good time enjoying action, adventure, fun, clowning ... See it. And make abstraction of bloody images. 7 upstairs.",6 "For those of us who do not subscribe to the conservative, Mom's Apple Pie, American Dream twaddle that this film propagates (i.e. Most of the World) then this film is patronising and annoying at best, insidious and offensive at worst. Lets look at the main messages in this film shall we: 1) Even if you are a simpleton, don't worry. Tow the line, do as you're told, don't question war, injustice, corruption, exploitation etc and America will reward you. Remember, if you do want to say anything of worth, make sure the microphone isn't working. 2) Question authority and you will die of AIDS (but lets not mention Homo***uality) All in all a propaganda movie mourning the passing of the 1950's Anglo-White Middle Class America whose myth died with Eisenhower. ""Life is Like a Box of Chocolates""? No I don't think it is really is it?. And as for one reviewer comparing it to Schindler's List - you should be ashamed of yourself. I wonder how Forrest would have danced around the Holocaust? Probably thinks it's a caramel cup.",1 "This movie was honestly quite entertaining. It maybe didn't live up to the hype, but I enjoyed the premise, and the way MOST of it was executed. Sandra Bullock is great in the lead and the child actors were actually pretty good. 7/10",7 "This show attempts to be intelligent, but mostly muddles in it's own novelty. Visually very stimulating, but not much else.",5 "I am seeing there are a lot of critics who had given films like zero and race 3 more than this film. Example Raja Sen. I feel like doing a Uri with them. Nevertheless awesome movie ,a movie that will instill pride in you.",10 "I binged this , it was over too quickly for me , thats really my only critical point. Aside to that this is an acid tongued rollercoaster of antihero blood guts and dark humour goodness Vrs the ideas of your favourite sup's. It takes that idea and warps them into the narcissistic corporate social media driven now. Some bare-wicked turns from the main cast. The soundtracks even decent.",9 "The publicity for the movie was excellent, the 1st week it got over 90 million views and already thinking of making a sequel!!! The Action scenes were unique you feel the hit because the camera man moves with the actor but story is really bad and the one try of dramatic was pathetic.",5 "A fantastically layered production 'Fargo' is perhaps the finest film under the belts of the Coen brothers. Ahead of its time with its female protagonist and groundbreaking with its ambition this wintery tale is truly superb, such an interesting watch",9 "He is also female in some cases. ""I like looking up to you. It is appropriate."" Said the male employee to his female boss. Just after a scene where another female of authority smashes males left and right. Right. Yet another universe full of feminist LGBTQ+ agendas. Who would have thought?! If it wasn't for that and the weakest of plots, this would be a quality show. So if you don't mind those, it should be a 8/10 for you. If you do mind, you have been warned. Enjoy.",6 "I've tried to watch this, I've watched four episodes, I've given it a chance but it just isn't funny, this is a show for people with no taste, its for people with a barely functional brain, if you are reading this and thinking to yourself, i really like this show, then im sorry to tell you but you have no taste and are more than likely a very stupid person, probably too stupid to realize that you're stupid, this is bland, childish, thoughtless nonsense, there is so much better, this is bottom of the barrel, as far as comedy goes you would do better watching the old chappelle reruns, even if you've seen them before than to watch this and try to convince yourself that its funny",1 "Wow! It is unbelievable how weak this movie is. It is so full of flaws that they seem interconnected between so that the few moments of real acting and art are washed away by the erratic stream of less-than-mediocre story-waving. The plot is flat and trite, full of the usual American brainwashing blurb about how there's a hero in everyone, about benevolence, the dream of justice, and so on. In fact, the characters (with the exception of Mary Jane, perhaps) are acted out as if they weren't really alive and had no spiritual bond between them whatsoever. They just cannot feel, they only act stupidly and get caught in the web of artificiality and commonplaces. Sincerely, if Americans can recognize themselves in these characters, I feel great sorry for them, for in that case they do not know what human compassion, human warmth really means. ...OK, I must nevertheless recognize that the scene when Spidey stops the train went berserk and loses his mask, is very moving and inspiring. And the end is very pleasing, with a very human and intelligent Octavius who is back to his senses. Not the worst super hero movie I've seen after all, but it would have been much better without the usual soapy American moralizing nonsense.",6 "Mike is the head of his family, but he is broken, angry man and no one can escape his wrath, not even his poor older brother. This film is a film that laments for loss and is full of bitter emotions…….but this is also arguably one of the greatest sequels of all time to one of the greatest films of all time. This is one of favorite all-time films, and I wouldn't hesitate to call it better than the first movie. This movie excels at everything, especially when it comes to storytelling. and the devolution of Michael Corleone's humanity and morality. The film invokes emotion from us for many reasons from the sad but powerful score by Nino Rota, to the powerhouse acting from everyone in the cast especially from Al Pacino, a story that introduces the past effectively, a very shocking ending, tight editing, powerhouse directing by Francis Ford Coppola, and the list goes on and on. Sequels were not a commodity back in the day, and this sequel to the huge 1972 film The Godfather is one of the first of its kind. The success of this film is why today's movie business relies upon sequels to make money. Regardless, this is one of the greatest films of all time. This film continues the saga of the Corleone family as we continue from the events of the first film. Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) is trying to expand the family's business into places like Hollywood and Cuba. His character takes a dive as he clashes with his brother Fredo (John Cazale), his lawyer Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), his wife Kay (Diane Keaton), and his sister Connie (Talia Shire). He is suspicious of his business associates activities such as folks like Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg) and Frankie Pentangeli (Michael Gazzo). But this film incorporates another story into this story: the past. We meet Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) when he was growing up in Sicily and emigrates to New York City where be becomes connected with the mob life. I loved how the story is told thanks to the masterful storytelling by screenwriter Mario Puzo and director Coppola. They successfully tell two stories over the course of the movie without any trouble. Each story complements each other very well. The continuing saga of the present day family remains a high point. Of course the central character is Michael Corleone. The first film he was a man reluctant to take over the family business, but now he is turning into a control monster who trusts no one, not even his inner circle. It's a sad thing to watch as his morality crumbles and the final scene-one of cinema's most famous scenes, makes the case to show why Michael Corleone turns into a monster. I enjoyed the flashback sequences featuring young Vito. De Niro absolutely nails his role as Vito and he inherits the older Vito's mannerisms very well. It was fun to see how Vito turned into the man we knew him from the first film. The scenes in Sicily, where he is connected with a local mob boss is very powerful because Vito's mother was shot down. But that event helped turn Vito into the kind of man he was and to my happiness, Vito exacted the perfect kind of revenge. These scenes in Sicily and New York are beautifully shot and they really understood what New York was supposed to be in 1910. This is a film full of performances, all of them wonderful. Pacino excels as Michael Corleone once again. I really wish he won an Oscar for this role because he deserved it. His performance was effectively scary. Robert De Niro was absolutely amazing as the younger Vito and his role showed the kind of versatility this man has. Diane Keaton was effective as Kay. This film has Kay standing up to his man as she eventually leaves his side. Duvall is always great as Tom Hagen. John Cazale has a bigger part in the second film, as he tries to do what's best but simply does not have the brains and ultimately pays the price. His performance was a powerful one. Then we have the likes of the little known actors who gave an impression like Lee Strasberg who played the business partner Hyman Roth who wants Michael killed and Michael Gazzo who plays Frankie, a relative and associate of Michael's. The Godfather Part II is one of the greatest films of all time. The Godfather is an amazing film, but this one may just be a tad better. That is a rarity because 1.) Just look at the quality of the first film and 2.) sequels are rarely better than the original film. Speaking of sequels, this is the only sequel to this day that has won Best Picture at the Academy Award. Indeed, it's a very amazing feat. Although to be taken with a grain of salt, but on the website IMDb, this movie is ranked #2 of all-time. That goes to show the commercial value of the movie. I loved this movie for many reasons. From Al Pacino's wonderful performance to the chill-inducing score by Nino Rota. There was also a flashback sequence that hearkens back to the first movie as it brings back James Caan although Marlon Brando declined because he felt under-appreciated. Anyhow, Coppola does an amazing job with the first two movies in the series. That end shot……just wow. My Grade: A+",10 "I really didn't care for how this series ended. My advice is that you should definitely watch this, and then stop watching when it starts to go down hill. Never finish it. It is an amazing anime up til then. If you never feel it start to slip in terms of quality, then maybe the ending will be just fine for you.",7 "Amazing effects? Yes. Anything else? No. Script so dumb it borders on insulting. Direction weak. Actors doing their gig. A film called ""Gravity"" should hire a consultant that understands physics. All in all a missed opportunity.",2 The scenes with Oscar Isaac either alone or with Ethan Hawke were brilliant. But then they throw in some 110 pound woman beating up 200+ pound guys with no explanation for her strength. She honestly hurt the show and was completely unnecessary with a bit of better writing for Moon Knight. But I guess they had to slam an Egyptian hero into our faces. Poorly written show. Amazing performance from the two leads.,5 "This should have been my kind of movie. I was anticipating a well-acted, plot-driven film with an historical angle and the timeless notion of the greed that drives many people. The movie started out well, albeit a little slow paced. The character development was good and the plot points were relevant. Once the Day-Lewis character achieved a level of stature, the plot started to become incoherent. It meandering along, explaining little in the way of motivation. It lost direction and never found its way. At the end, I just couldn't wait for it to be over. I think Day-Lewis turned in an Oscar-worthy performance, but the entropy of the plot made for a very big disappointment.",4 "The first episode looked promising. I liked the landscapes, the colors. The story was kind of intense. But after that it went downward. Sometimes the whole episode is mindless action, until your ears bleed. But somehow it's badly done, at some point the urgency gets lost and it's nothing but boring. Full of stupid decisions, plot holes, impossible saves and annoying people. The fake doctor is worst, just push her over the cliff already... I finished episode 5 now, and that's how far it will go. I really did like a lot of the individual actors though. Mostly the two girls and especially Mina Sundwall. She has a very cool way of acting, hope to see her in some great action movie in the future. TV Series is very it's at currently, there has been a lot of amazing stuff coming out in the last years. But Lost in Space does not belong to it. It's a shame. I wanted to like it.",3 "This movie has one excellent idea and one clever twist. Cinematography was great and the overall setting ambitious. Yet, it seems quite overrated. Attempted allegory about capitalism is rather obvious. The movie lacks true emotions and feels forced. There is no character development or subtle interactions between characters. I felt disconnected with the main characters which made the movie boring despite the plot-driven concept.",4 "The actors, the locations, the army, and ammunition everything they just wasted all of that with a silly and slow story. Chasing scenes have no craze and suspence, no scene can take you to the edge of you seat. Some action scenes are good where it seems like it is a sinlge shot scene. Apart from that one big guy kills 100s single handedly. Inspired by Bollywood?",3 "I really liked the first John Wick, although there wasn't much of a story. The second part continued the tension, but part three and now this part are just extremely boring movies filled with action without a real motivation. I hoped for a much better movie, but part four is beyond repair I am afraid. The CGI is clearly visible, especially with the bloodshed. And ofcourse fights are staged, but in this movie, you can clearly see all the stuntmen are waiting at eachother before the other one is finished. A good DP or director would go in close, so you can avoid this. The plot isn't there at all. I don't know. Just a weird movie. There is a strike going on about the worries of AI. This movie script could've written by ChatGPT and be much better. I give it an extra star because of one cool ""drone"" scene.",2 "I liked it in the beginning but was disappointing noted with family dynamic but as I watched the development I fell in love with this show. Ignorethebadreviews, this is amazing",9 The timeline is too disturbing. Confusing between past and present.,5 "Most of the people dont seem to care about the plot,they only want to enjoy combat and gun fight!So be it,keep this movie exactly like this just one minor adjust,change the name Dhaka to any other city like Islamabad or Kabul and enjoy the whole movie .whats the problem right?Plot and accuracy matters ,even in action movies.Chris Hemsworth did an amazing job in action as well as emotional scene .So,only for him, I am giving a 6 rating.",6 One of the Best Classic movies of all time. Part one is Great But always liked part 2 even more.,10 "This is the first time I've written a review for a movie, that should tell you that I enjoyed this movie an awful lot. The storyline grabbed my attention at every corner and the soundtrack continues to ring in my ears and evoke a feeling of confidence in myself and pure joy. It really focused in on it's female audience and was able to accurately portray the modern day plight of the average woman. I didn't expect to cry during this movie but I had never felt so understood and empowered to be myself. Margot Robbie was Barbie, she managed to uphold the whimsy and joy of Barbie throughout the tough political statements that with any other actress would have depressed the audience. Ryan Gosling never failed to make me laugh in his role as Ken, he was perfect for this role and I can't imagine anyone else fulfilling it to the same standard. The supporting Barbies and Kens also excelled in their roles adding to the character and world of Barbie. I have spent some time reading other reviews which have complained that the 3rd portion of the movie was too heavy handed in its feminist perspective and that its blunt political message didn't properly encapsulate Barbie. To that I say; The 3rd portion is less than 40 minutes long, if you can't listen to women's issues for that little time without getting bored then maybe you're not getting what we're saying. And this movie was actually about Barbie, unlike the animated Barbie movies which merely starred Barbie. This movie is actually about Barbie and her extensive history as a controversial doll that had to fight tooth and nail to make it into the hands of little girls and inspire them to be more than mothers. Overall, Barbie was incredible and I hope she inspires even more little girls through this movie than she already has.",10 I'm a huge fan of magic and magic systems in fiction and so it's no wonder that some of my favorite characters are Dr Strange and the Scarlet Witch. It's important to go into this show blind because the surreal presentation and the slow unfurling of the plot is gripping.,9 "S04 - (9,7) The Duffer Brothers manage to bring new life into this series by turning it back into a dark mystery that ups the stakes like never before and creates a cohesive story through different storylines, while setting up what should be a thrilling final season.",8 "Thrilling and spectacular Marvel movie in which a down-and-out reporter becomes involved with a fantastic Symbiote .

Well worth seeing.",6 I wanted to join seemingly the rest of the world in watching this film. I hadn't remembered a film hyped up so much across social media for a while. I found this film frustrating. It was well considered and constructed in parts but left other parts of the story unanswered and unexplored. No regrets for watching but won't be the best film I watch this year.,6 "It's a very stressful movie. High tension, a lot of swearing.",4 "I have not read the book nor played the games so the story and the characters are completely new to me. I (like many) started watching for two reasons 1. The great ratings and viewing numbers 2. To fill the void created when GOT finished ( a lot of reviews did point that out) Few minutes in to the first episode and both reasons went out of the window. I will start with the positives. Cinematics, CGI, fight sequences and music are good. Unfortunately that's where the positives end. A weak and incoherent storyline forms the foundation of everything that's bad with this series, add to that random jumps in the story line, dreadful dialogues, poor characters and even worse character development. The biggest downside is the acting (if you can call it that), most actors lack experience while pretending otherwise. There is a lot of overacting. There are a few actors who try to do a better job but are not able to shine because of the poor and equally over the top direction . Overall you get a feeling that the team had the right intentions but somehow missed the mark by overdoing things. The series lacks the punch. I dont want to do this comparison but if you are watching this series due to GOT withdrawal symptoms then please don't. It will leave you with a bad taste in mouth.",3 "Its an overall good movie especially considering it is the first feature film attempt by the directors. But is far from perfect. The biggest (& possibly the only) flaw of the movie is its protaganist. She does not miss a single chance to act stupid & selfish and keeps getting everyone else into trouble. This makes watching the movie a frustrating experience at times. If there was a proper sensible character to counter her and was given as much screen time, movie would have been better. But on technical level, its a well made movie with nice effects, cinematography, acting & direction. In the end, if I was to rank this movie in comparison to other horror movies. I would rank it above any conjuring or insedious sequels but below movies like 'It Follows'.",6 "Philosophical mystery for millennials. Nick Offerman is superbly talented, but only inane things one out of the characters mouth. The soundtrack and sound effects are jarring because they don't match the visuals.. Come on folks Broadchurch season 1 was great, but that doesn't mean we have to adopt that style for every mystery. I don't know if it is intentional, but we're not made to care about any character and really are only waiting around for the main mystery to be revealed. Whats the shiny box for. Overall it is interesting if you can sit through the cliches, or are really good at the 10 second skip",6 "It doesn't matter if the film makes good money. The acting matters. Politics shouldn't come into it which sadly does dictate reviews. I'm proud of SRK for sticking to acting on his own merit and not adopting the 'bhai' status as SK did with the help of gangsters. I do like SK films but I'm a realist and know Salman has underworld helping hand to where he has got as opposed to sheer hard work which SRK has done. Truth is the truth. I'm also proud of myself for not swearing. Peace to SRK & SK fans Fan Interval: So enthralling. One of the most exciting plots in recent times comes to life through a stun show from SRK. Enjoying this. #Fan: Fantastic. Intriguing take on the rush of blood between a fan and his idol. Tense, fun and emotionally gripping too. Recommended! #Fan: Ideally SRK's best since Chak De India, he is absolutely spotless as the die hard fan Gaurav. 20 min sequence in FH and climax - wow! #Fan: May not please the entertainment junkie, but this is a brave step from SRK sans doubts. Try it, for this'll help you forgive Dilwale. #Fan: Loosely based on The Fan and The King of Comedy, with a shade of Vaali too. Yet, I'm already toying with the idea of seeing it again.",9 "I saw the preview for this show while watching and episode of Game of Thrones and it was making me sick with dread so I told my husband that I wouldn't watch it. Then had a friend tell me that it's a great show and told HER that I wouldn't watch it...then I heard about the great reviews and decided to give it a try. Well I had to stop a few times in the first few episodes because of the sick feeling of dread I got from watching, but it really is a great show. Sure, the science and history isn't 100% correct and they're not speaking Russian/Ukrainian/native dialects, but it doesn't matter. It's not a documentary. The point of this show is to drag the viewer into the exact feelings of dread and confusion and fear and disgust that the real people affected by this event had felt. It exposes the politics/lies that put citizens in danger and the cost of all the lives of the people who helped contain the disaster. In bringing the viewer right into those feelings, this show is completely successful in it's aim. Just look at all the reviews from the people who lived through it. This show gives the viewer an understanding of how this disaster affected everyday people and acts as a warning about the people in charge trying to cover up real danger for the sake of money and their image instead of actually caring about the people they make decisions for.",9 "Barbie exceeds all expectations, delivering a self-aware and meta comedy that appeals to both devoted fans and newcomers. The film's profound layers and sharp humor create an immensely satisfying experience, showcasing the best version of Barbie on a grand scale while embracing its wonderfully weird and unique qualities. Margot Robbie's casting as Barbie is spot-on, effortlessly transitioning between the eccentric Barbie Land and the emotionally charged real world. Her performance masterfully captures the character's essence, while her dynamic with Gosling's Ken adds depth and a touching parental undertone. Ryan Gosling's portrayal of Ken is nothing short of phenomenal. It's a note-perfect casting choice that allows him to showcase his impeccable comedic timing, reminiscent of his role in The Nice Guys, but dialed up to a whole new level. His character's journey culminates in a side-splittingly funny musical number. Will Ferrell, channeling his Lord Business persona, leads a hilariously caricatured team of executives in Barbie Land. This satire effectively highlights their out-of-touch nature, offering a clever commentary on corporate culture. America Ferrara's impactful speech and her heartwarming bond with Ariana Greenblatt contribute a layer of sincerity to the film. This relationship beautifully acknowledges Barbie's history while infusing the narrative with genuine emotion. Greta Gerwig's direction shines with a well-deserved bigger budget, evident in the stunning dance sequences, exhilarating car chase, and vibrant Barbie Land. The film's artificial nature paradoxically enhances its visual realism, setting it apart from conventional offerings. The soundtrack stands out with a stellar lineup of songs from top-tier artists. These tracks, much like the film itself, range from joyfully fun to deeply meaningful, seamlessly enhancing the overall experience. Barbie's music perfectly complements its narrative, creating a harmonious blend that resonates long after the credits roll.",10 "This was nothing more than a Western with Blue Indians and the Marines were the Cowboys, The usual plot of Stealing from the Indians and naturally trying to Justify the theft as being necessary. The special effects or cgi was great, But again the plot was Nothing not seen in any other Western to date . The fact of NOT seeing it as a Western is completely narrow minded at short sighted. I thought I was going to see something different and it wasn't. I did not or will NOT see any of the Sequels period. The subject matter of continuing the making of movies where Indigenous People are the Villians is BULL.",2 "The stage curtains open ... ""Bird Box"" is not a movie to understand. It's a movie to experience. We are taken on a long, arduous journey with our film's main character, Malorie (played by Sandra Bullock), when the world literally goes crazy. People suddenly lose their grip on reality and begin committing suicide all around her, including her own sister. Though she doesn't see anything, they seem to and it drives them to the very edge. The movie is presented in two parts: the present day where she is traveling precariously with two 5-year-old children simply known as ""Girl"" and ""Boy"", and in flashbacks that slowly catches you up to the present day. I say precariously, because in order to remain safe, they have to wear blindfolds while they travel, to keep from seeing this strange entity that causes people to become suicidal. They follow the course of a river that will hopefully lead them to a safe haven, a compound, from whatever has taken over the world. Nothing is explained. You never find out what is behind this or why. Only that it is happening and what people are having to do to survive. As you follow along with Malorie, there are some intense and gripping moments - and these are well filmed. The only problem was that once we reach the film's climax, it just kind of falls flat and then you have the ending. It leaves you feeling unsatisfied - sort of like seeing a delicious meal prepared but then not being able to eat any of it. I guess this comes as a recommend, but not a very high one. The story builds, the cinematography and intrigue is there - but then it sinks at the end and just leaves you sitting there to watch the end credits with nothing having really been resolved ... I guess. Still, it was well made and enjoyable up until that time.",6 "We didn't finish it, rather couldn't. One hour of headache was enough. Wasted effort of a talented cast, director.",2 "1st season was the best. It has the best balance of suspense & 80s humor. 2nd season helped to extend the saga of ""little girl lost"" & scary monsters, though not as good as the 1st, but still watchable . The 3rd season had too much sitcom humor & lacked the charm of the 1st season. Not enough scary moments. 1st season 9 stars, 2nd = 7 stars & 3rd = 5 stars.",8 "An unnecessarily long, average movie with Christian Bale! and looks like ""Ford v Ken Miles"" would be a much better title.",5 The outsider tricks you into believing its good with a solid intro and amazing acting in the beginning. But as the episodes go on you realize that nothing happens and it isnt the psychological thriller you had hoped it was. Instead it turns into a sluggish grey mess where none of the characters evolve in any way. One of the main actors character the police officer instead turns very one dimensional as the series goes on and its just seems like the series is deliberately trying to waste your time with huge chunks of it being a rip off from the series X-files. The beautiful Cynthia Erivo is also wasted as a Vodoo magician popping up with an awkward role.,1 "Someone online continuously claimed that this anime was garbage and that ""Yo-Kai Watch"" deserved more of the praise. Well, I tried to watch both shows and I feel like that person needs to watch better anime...or maybe grow up. In any case, while imperfect, ""Attack on Titan"" is a great anime series and the new go- to anime to help people get into anime. With its great animation, memorable characters, epic music, and outstanding action scenes, ""Attack on Titan"" I would recommend to people who want to get into anime! This anime also contains Mikasa Ackerman, for once a female anime character that's NOT mere eye candy, but a legitimately cool character with great scenes and character development!",7 "I wish to god that IMDb would allow you to vote with a minus rating because, if I could i would rate this movie -10. This is the all time worst movie of my life and I want the 2 and a half hours back. While watching this junk I actually thought i was dreaming and in a bad nightmare, then the phone rang and I realized that I was just watching a horrible peace of sh!!!!T. I actually signed up for this site just for this dirty peace of toilet paper they call a script. I had to watch this movie in four parts not being able to stomach more than 40 minutes at a time. To keep it plain and simple I would not even make someone on death row watch this movie even if it was his last request. Let me plant an Inception in your head and tell you not to watch this movie. It's movies like this that put Block Buster out of business and why movie sales are down.",1 "A stylized biographical film based on the life of Wing Chun teacher Yip Man. Yip Man would go on to influence millions through the spread of Wing Chun and his early teaching of influential martial arts star and icon Bruce Lee. The story is set in Foshan and is seen as a hub for Chinese martial arts. Yip Man is a respected martial arts master but doesn't have a school or teach. He runs off a group of rowdy Northern Chinese stylists though. Yip Man is a wealthy man but reduced to poverty by the occupation of the Japanese Army. He ends up working in a coal mine and only fights against Japanese opponents when he realizes that some of his neighbors have been taking fights against Imperial Japanese Army trainees for an extra rice ration. It's extremely patriotic, almost to the detriment of the film itself. The Japanese are virtually faceless, depicted mainly as bullies, war mongers, and instigators while 1994's Fist of Legend, a very similar film, does the Japanese some credit by showing them with more honor. Still some incredible fight scenes by the venerable Donnie Yen, who at was then 44-45 makes guys like a prime Van Damme or Seagal look pedestrian by comparison, witnessed in a brutal match with Yip Man against 10 karate practitioners. 7/10",7 Completely zero entertainment. There is no story at all. People are flocking theatres with hype created and at the end there is no single person who seems to have enjoyed the film. Some people who tell they liked the film are bluffing acting like intellectuals with reality being they are dumb *ss. Do your self a favor and skip this crap.

Anyone with even half a brain gives up on this tedious drama series within four episodes. Another brilliant american failure. Why is it that most american series lately start out with a great concept, but when it comes to writing a decent script it always goes sideways and ends up as a poorly written, badly directed and even worse acted drama show? Add this one to the pile of those shows. Failed! Next please!",1 "Corny and cheesy . Becoming bollywood day by day . Although there are some actors who shined like Sunny Hinduja. Theme music is nice .",3 "I get that The Boys writers are exploring all the ""what ifs"" left over from the Avengers franchise. I watched episode 1 of season 3. I knew it was going to be gross, It was pretty freaking sickening. I give it a rating of 1 for gratuitous blood baths and gross ... it's just gross. I ain't watching it no more. Real life is sickening enough.",1 "Rizwan khan ,an undiagnosed autistic(aspergers actually) moves to San Francisco after his mother dies not before teaching him all about secularism. While Working in a cosmetic shop for his brother and selling them ,Rizwan falls in love with a hair dresser Mandira.The rest of the movie deals with the couple trying hard to save their love amidst cultural discrimination against Muslims that seem to tear them apart. MY NAME IS KHAN is a kind of movie that will have you seriously thinking about secularism and at the same time will make you smile or at times will bring a lump in the throat with moist eyes.You will find yourself seamlessly connecting with KHAN and you cant help but accept the fact that Sharukh khan, who has mostly been 'the lover boy' of India cinema SO many times that it actually made you sick, is actually one of India s FINEST actor. KAJOL playing a distressed mother delivers a flawless performance that will remain in your mind long after you have left the theater and probably you will recall every time you hear her name or see a distressed mother in real life.It is that strong. JOHAR as a director has matured with his audience and has moved far away from his silly rom coms or melodramatic family dramas to this very meaningful love yarn. This movie tat grips you for the most part suddenly slips in the end with a climax that was predictable, nothing wrong with that ,but a bit too much of over-dramatic background score and over acting will leave a small halo where you would expect the filmmaker to wrap up the enjoyable show with a final master stroke. Nevertheless definitely worth your time because rarely a movie comes along that will make you think if YOU have been unfair sometimes and if YOU need to change your biased perspective. This movie might just raise such uneasy doubts in you yet in the best way possible.8/10",8 Why in Gods good earth would you use an English actor to play the part of a southern version of Columbo!?!? It was horrible. It would have been a thousand times better to have Monk star in this movie. I couldn't wait for this movie to end. Holmes and Watson was more tolerable at least you knew going in it was a crap movie with half hearted attempt to act. Craig probably thinks he did a good job. Yuck.,1 "Really surprised that this has garnered so much praise. Many comments talk of great acting performances but as I frequently point out to friends, shouting with intensity is not great acting! I can't believe Hugh Jackman agreed to take such a risible role. You always know you're in trouble when there's SYMBOLISM! The policeman is Loki, Norse God, everyone is 'religious' though nothing stops their sadism,etc. Subtext link to US forces in Iraq - being bad to bad guys just perpetuates the violence. The 2 mothers are ciphers, with no characters, letting the Men do the work! Come on this is 2013! Great cop who's solved every case- yeh, right!- who misses every clue. And at 2 & a half hours...in the end, I didn't care.",3 "Greatest movie I watched till date. Nicely written, strong acting. Music masterpiece by A R Rahman. Dialogues are well written. I think everything was perfect in this film.",10 I was having huge expectations from the basement's revelations and God it was beyond my expectations. This has to be one of the greatest anime episode of all time. Turned the entire series upside down.,10 "I loved it in a crazy way, special thanks to everyone involved in the production of this great work, especially Oscar Isaac and Mohamed Diab. The series is full of breathtaking events and excitement with a little emotion and a lot of crying, especially when Steven sacrifices himself for Mark. Thank you very much, Marvel, for this wonderful job.",7 "One thing that is certain about ""12 years a slave"" is that it is a disturbing and engrossing experience. If you are faint hearted, then this movie is certainly not for you. Nevertheless, its didactic prowess makes it a must see. The story revolves around a black American born in New York early in the 19th century. Although slavery was still a fact of life in parts of the country, Solomon was born and raised a free man and it was through trickery that he travelled south to meet some supposed business partners who ended up selling him as a slave. From that point on, his Odyssey begins. He experiences life through a prism that is worlds away from what he thus far knew. In the plantations of the Southern States being black equals not being human. You can call it property, pet, object of gratification or any other denigrating pseudonym. In the minds of their owner where this mentality was deeply ingrained this gave them the freedom to treat 'their' slaves in ways that was beyond inhuman. So great were their convictions, that they even quoted Bible verses as another affirmations to the appalling way they treated their fellow human beings. Solomon, having experienced freedom was more affected that his counterparts who simply knew nothing else. What kept him going is a sense of hope that he would regain his freedom and return to his loved ones. Hope dies last. This is a mighty historical and moral tale as well as a brave cinematic endeavour. Slavery still scars the United States and despite the distress this film will cause it ought to simultaneously serve as a source of edification to guide us in a direction of equality and acceptance. Inhumanity never pays off, only compassion.",8 "The last few years have seen many excellent Chinese movies ranging from historical dramas, as in The Emperor and the Assassin, to brilliant action movies, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, comedies like Shaolin Soccer, thrillers like infernal affairs and more. Kung Fu Hustle is the next step of what I consider the growing up of the Chinese Film Industry. Gong Fu is an action film full of some of the finest martial arts you can find. But it does not stop there. Latest cgi and cinematic effects are deployed with ease to make the experience truly magnificent. This part could describe a well made but typical Hollywood action production. But Gong Fu grows beyond that, incorporating very satirical elements that make this movie a treat. If you are a fan of Kung Fu movies or if you are a critic, this film can entice both as it presents a delectable parody of the genre without taking itself too seriously. In so far it accomplishes what Hollywood has lost somewhere along the way, the ability to make a funny and inventive movie that is filled with little thoughtful vignettes to discover while still appealing to a broad public. There are scenes, which are so overdrawn that they become surreal, moments when you can not believe what is happening on screen. Typical clichés like bad synchronization so common in past Chinese movies are delightfully played upon. In parts of the movie I was even reminded of scenes from Dragonball Z and other anime. But underneath it all Gong Fu does not hide its social critique and puts the finger on several points that might hurt if you think about them. Overall this is a movie for nearly everyone, providing gags and entertainment, if you just want to relax, and little hints and thoughts to contemplate, if you are of the thoughtful persuasion. In my opinion it is one of this years top movies. Recommended!!!",10 "The Martian. With this solemn title, director Ridley Scott invites aspiring audiences to conjure a wholly alien experience. One where the sweeping, arid and hostile vistas that have populated his recent not-so-stellar efforts meet a sense of the unknown – a precipice of discovery. Though, for a contemporary viewer, the word Martian itself carries a distinct connotation; our own near-future sights are set on this very prospect and so we perceive it as 'within reach'. The second act of the film and some shaky humour both contribute to the film's downfall on this very basis. So, solitude. That should be the order of the day – given the singular title and bleak outlook established early on. Astronaut, Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is a crew member of the Ares III mission to Mars, tasked with establishing a temporary base and collecting samples for study. Almost immediately, a divisive play of plot circumstance sees a deadly storm brew – forcing an evacuation during which Watney is struck by debris and left for dead. Damon is joined by a strong, if typically specialised, supporting cast helmed most notably by his Commanding Officer Lewis (Jessica Chastain) in space and Houston (various) back on Earth . They do just that - offer support – which when paired with Damon's relentless and abrasive optimism, results in vacuous tension and no sense of danger. Soon after waking to a metal rod impaling his stomach and his own congealed blood forming the only seal between him and the barren atmosphere, a gripping scene ensues – Watney being forced to operate on himself with a hastily scrounged set of unpleasant, clanging prongs. Damon shines here. Savour it. He is soon settling in as a cocky, quipping jack-of-all-trades; imbued with a skillset plucked from the A-Team. It is at this point, the prelude to the (exceedingly prolonged) 'middle' act; that the film begins to reveal its true intention. This is, of course, to enact a fictional re- telling of Apollo 13 – with less uncertainty. That's the problem – the comparisons. As much as I hate to belittle contemporary cinema and these genres in particular, if 'superhero' films aren't our generation's 'Western', then space thriller/dramas – are. With the distant Moon (2004), more recent Gravity (2012) and to some extent Interstellar (2014) all setting the bar high in terms of lone-castaway character study and visual spectacle; we've come to expect certain things in space. If a character is alone in adversity, we hope to explore their deteriorating psyche in an insightful and illuminating arc of events or introspective. It is in these moments spent alone together with these characters that we come to care, empathise and root for them. Mark Watney, fifty million miles from Earth, hardly ever seems to be truly secluded. The script shies from the psychological attrition that the performance may have benefited from, by adapting a sickly sweet narrative of optimism and collective arrogance that undermines the emotional depth of the situation. Lacking threat or struggle, any adversity is trivialised. Rather than buck a predictable trend by flipping the usual chromatic dread with light hearted humour, the plot engenders apathy by giving no indication that any misfortune is worth fretting over. Post that initial scene-setting rush, you can never again suspend your disbelief for long enough to imagine harm befalling one of the characters. Detached from fear, Damon's struggle is both inconceivable and insincere.",5 "Did I watch all the episodes? Yes Did I enjoy all the episodes? Meh not really. Never felt much for the characters and was always left wishing it was a bit more than what it was. I wanted it to feel more like the Punisher series; which I thought was excellent. For such a gritty setting I felt like the main cast was just really soft; like play-doh if you will. It felt like a PG-13 series with a TV-MA rating. Heavy sigh. Definitely a watchable series, but left wanting it to hit harder.",6 "Listen, I understand Hollywood's dark craze but why don't the writers understand that unrelenting misery turns most people off? Viewers need to make at least one connection to a character, someone you can relate to, empathize, root for - and as much as I love Kate Winslow, she is not that person, nor are any other of the characters. This show is completely without heart. Breaking Bad, The Wire - all took place in dismal situations but they had compassion and understanding of people and places. The series is also all drama, not a tingle of suspense yet as of the 3rd episode, just a glut of cliches and caricatures. And what about humor? Even dark shows need humor - it's part of being human to find some humor, even in terrible situations. Without it, we would all go mad. Good writing recognizes this and applies humor to give us a release valve, a chance to let us get endeared to the characters. I wanted so much to like this series since I've been a DelcoGal all my life; It's not a perfect place nor is it a place of implacable despair. Kudos for the strong work on the Delco accent, especially the pursed-lip pronunciation of the O's - home, over, phone, etc. Some of these were perfection. But bad cess on pronouncing creek as creek when everyone knows it's a crick. We'll let that slide if the series picks up in the next 4 episodes. We're generous like that.",6 "Probably the most overrated movie of 2015. If you want to watch a similar movie about a person stuck in space go watch 'Moon' from 2009. The visuals are as good and the story is 10 times better, even acting. I'm not saying Ridley Scott is a bad director and Matt Damon a bad actor, the story here is just not that interesting, that's all.",5 "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) is an all-around fine, sound, decent and ""above-to-well-above-average"" movie. It achieves such a description despite having acting that, in the opinion of this commentator, was not spectacular. Carrey and Winslet put together lead performances that work for their roles and don't disappoint at all, but don't rise beyond such a standard, or towards Award-nominating levels. The real strength of the movie is the long, complex and wonderfully enigmatic plot. This movie makes you think, makes you wonder, about the way the mind works and whether something, such as a relationship or person, can be so ""wrong"" that it/he/she is truly worth forgetting altogether. Such a theme for a movie is tough to pull off, but director Michel Gondry and writer Charlie Kaufman do so with supreme cinematic and special effect skill. Kirsten Dunst, in a lesser role than that of Carrey and Winslet, doesn't let down either, but comes across thin at times. Wrapup: decent acting, wonderfully intriguing story and expression. Rating: 8.5/10; IMDB rating: 8",7 "This is the first time someone has attempted to make a sensible and realistic movie in Bollywood. The director uses elegant filming and does not go overboard by using senseless scenes (like in most bollywood movies). There are plenty of comic scenes, which are in-line with the story and do not use double meanings. This film would not mean much to a person living in India, as it would to NRIs. The tag line is that if you have some sort of skill, then use it to get your own country ahead rather than going to another country and using that skill. Also the most noticeable fact is that Shahrukh Khan actually acted in this movie and gave some new expressions. If you want to see Shahrukh's best acting, you cannot skip watching this movie.",10 "This is one of the best movies I have seen in recent times. Very realistic cinema, made with non-actors who resonate with same energy of Big-B in terms of acting. Hats off to Bacchan Saab, for choosing and portraying the biopic of Vijay Barse with an outstanding performance. The movie shows how the life of underprivileged slum children takes a drastic postive change from being a drug/alcohol addicts of criminal background to represent India at International slum soccer tournament. This is a very inspiring sport biopic, with memerising music of Ajay Atul and directorial bollywood debut of Nagraj Manjule. Movie gives a great social message to the society that ""Don't judge the poor underprivileged children of slums on their language/personality or criminal background. We as a society can change and contribute to their lives by showing little love, affection and proper guidance, just the way Vijay Barse sir did in his real life. A must watch movie. I won't be surprised if it gets nominated or wins an Oscar.",10 "Look, I get what the MCU did for cinema and today's culture as a whole, I'm not blind. I don't like them though. Most of them are watered down versions of shadows of great thoughts. This show, however, though it devolves quickly near the end of the season to something resembling a shallow and undeservedly showy late 90's children's movie, is a great homage to the evolution of television and culture. It creates real characters and asks full questions throughout. It's worth your relaxation time.",8 "I gave it a chance. I really did, but this is absolute garbage. The actual events take a back seat to the terrible 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s sitcom, reality TV, slice of life BS. The events in the usual Marvel world get around 5 minutes screen time compared to the aforementioned, cringe worthy crap. It shows no sign of halting, so I guess I'll take the lead and give it the finger.",1 Uri is one of the best war movie ever made by Bollywood. It was so amazing to watch it and it was heart wrenching at every point of the movie. Really loved it!,9 "It was way too long and i honestly just lost interest half way through. There weren't any major twists either like id say its pretty predictable. Its ok but i dont thing its worth watching.

The storyline follows a museum gift shop employee with aspirations of becoming a bigger part of the museum. He starts having flash backs of another life and then finds an Egyptian amulet that turns him into a superhero of sorts with multiple identities. His new powers put him in a power struggle between gods for world domination. This series was created by Doug Moench (Harley Quinn television series) and stars Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: Episode VIII), Ethan Hawke (Training Day), F. Murray Abraham (Amadeus) and May Calamawy (The Long Road Home). This definitely had a unique premise, storyline and universe. The characters were well developed and easy to root for. The CGI to create both the backdrops and gods were awesome. All of the Egyptian and other worldly scenes were entertaining. The fight sequences were tremendous, especially the one in the bathroom early in the series and the god fight at the end. I do wish there was more action as the story unfolded. Overall, this felt like if Marvel made a The Mummy movie. This was definitely entertaining and worth a viewing. I would score this a 7/10.",7 Managed to watch the first 25 minutes but was so incredibly bad I just had to switch off.,1 "Those are just 3 words that sum up this dreadful effort but please pick a thesaurus and add any other synonyms. No idea what the other reviewers that have given this anything over a 5 out of 10 were smoking when they watched this but it must have been very strong! It is a standard by the numbers murder mystery with aspirations to being the next Fargo but failing in opposite measure. Depressing and dull performance from Winslet and stale stereotyped characters and equally blunt performances from virtually ever cast member with not a single standout performance from anyone; almost as if they were all on Prozac. Nothing new or exciting, which is what the thriller genre needs and which movies like Se7en or Silence Of The Lambs brought us but no, what we have here is a the usual by the numbers small town murder and whodunnit stretched out no doubt over several series when it could all have been encapsulated within an hour and a half. Sorry but some of us are not fooled and want a bit more value for money than the basics that everybody seems happy to accept ""because Kate Winslet - yeah her out of Titanic"" is in it lol!",4 "Some elements remaind the same, but a lot got changed and it didnt sit right with me",5 "Just a classic. I think it is enjoyable because of the multiple story lines going on at once so you never get bored. I would certainly recommend watching it but you do not have to start at Day 1 to understand - I started at Day 7 and was fine. Since then I have watch them all and some twice because as there is so much going on at once you forget what happened with every storyline. Although of course, I imagine it just depends on what type of TV show you like and although I am not normally into this type of stuff, I really enjoy it and own all seasons on DVD. However I would say my least favourite bit would be the movie as I was very disinterested with what was going on.",10 "This film just seemed too much of a divergent from the previous storylines that it left me feeling let down. The whole multiverse aspect is a nice plot but it was not well executed in my opinion in terms of story development. A likable character was made into the ultimate villain and the main character came off as a sentimental sap. Not my cup of Marvel tea. Once the End Game ended, so did my desire to see subsequent Marvel movies.",2 "All the judges specifically the mens are big As*Ho*l*s. They are very arrogant and should learn from Kevin O' Leary, Robert Herjavec etc. It seems like another India drama kind of Ekta Kapoor series. In the first episode, Ashneed Grover was talking very rude and shouldn't talk like this to women. He thinks like he created the Bharat (India) from founding Bharat-Pe, so that he can talk and argue in a national television. The entire judges panel is amateur and should learn from Shark Tank USA. Terrible series!!",2 "24 has been the one of the most wonderful series I've never seen before. I think the actors are excellent in the way they perform their characters. This series deserves many many awards, and specially Kiefer Sutherland, who not only performs his character Jack Bauer, but also is one of the Producers. And I appreciate his hard work as an actor and Co-executive Producer. It may not be easy for him to do all this at the same time. He and the other actors work as hard as the rest of the crew do. I cannot imagine working 14 or 15 hours a day, 6 days a week, 10 months a year. If I could see the crew, I'd say: Congratulations for doing the best for the fans!!",10 "Set against a rural backdrop, Panchayat narrates the journey and events in the life of an engineering graduate, who for the lack of any better jobs takes up the position of the secretary of the village panchayat chief. What follows is Abhishek's first time encounter with the life, dialogue and people of India's other side that that takes him closer to living life. TVF is known to take alternative stories and push them into mainstream. They did it with Kota Factory and once again they have successfully managed to create a village comedy that is devoid of forced situational comedy or harsh stereotypical jokes. The comedy and light hearted relief exists not merely in the dialogues but the characters themselves and once you start relating with them, their interaction is what drives the show forward. Chandan Roy as Vikas, and Faisal Malik as Prahlad deliver breakthrough performances with their comic timings and innocent approach to the life and troubles of Abhishek played wonderfully once again by the talented Jitendra Kumar. The scenes and stories are wonderfully executed as most of them revolve around insignificant events that become important only when you place them in the setting and the people around them. Apart from the comedy, the story also drives Abhishek's journey from hating the village to slowly loving and accepting the people around him. Obviously, the show will return for a second season given it ends with multiple cliffhanger, but what TVF does best is making a show that remains re-watchable because even more than the script or screenplay, you fall in love with the characters that would stay in your heart long after the end credits roll. I had always considered Indian comedy series to be a lost cause given their need for slapstick humour and no emotional storytelling. However, TVF has once again proved that they can manage to create a story and characters that would re-define Indian television even if it is through streaming services. For anyone who has been having a tough time in 2020 with all that has been going around, nothing can be a better watch than Panchayat to lift your spirits up.",8 "I was happy to see that it failed horribly compared to benchmark created by game of thrones,what a complete waste of time ,me waiting when will it end .one of worst sequels attempted ,confused story lines,immature portrayal of dragons,overall not a good series to spend time on ,the people who have gone through the great series of GOT,and wishing that it would never ended ,compared to this one which is so boring to watch .feels dissatisfied.please if your looking to watch good series ,please go way ,this is not the one,horrible series to watch ,confused director and story .very bad vfx compared to GOT.",6 "Ok average teen drama but WHY DOES TONY PADILLA LOOK 30?!?

Sadly, I just didn't find it captivating or particularly enlightening, particularly Bradley Cooper as the ageing and falling from grace and favour Jack Maine. The story is well known and predictable, and so I suppose the challenge is to find something new to show or say, or some musical performances that blow you away.

In Hollywood, or 1917 (Nineteen seventeen), or Mr. Jones, or Dark waters, or The lighthouse, or Sorry we missed you, or Richard Jewell Glass, or even Downton Abbey - the motion picture.

Great characters, story, 60s set pieces, the acting and directing is quality. You gotta love a well made period piece that is well paced, even though each episode is long, and you can't wait to see what unfolds in the next episode. It's based off a 1980s book of the same name, and both actresses that play the lead really nail their work. The actress that plays the young Beth early in the series set in the orphanage, is such a talent she sets up the story well as it jumps ahead in time to her teenage years. It was a very original and interesting story line, and importantly, engaging... The process the main character uses to learn and develop her Chess game was entertaining from the outset, and continues to be explored as the story develops beyond the orphanage. Well worth a view.",8 "Before i see the movie i felt so cliché about it but i hoped that this movie with this cast could be a good comedy,chemical & entertaining movie!! i can tell you this movie completely was that i hoped to be & i really enjoyed it! you know,it's cliché but nice feelings in it,also,it has a beautiful atmosphere that makes you happy & i think this is enough for a comedy movie to be good!

I just.... Did I actually watch this or did I somehow slip into Michael Bay's mind and witness a dream of his? The action was just so incredibly generic, the constant car flips and explosions, the parkour chase scenes, the shooting of gormless rent a thugs, the inevitable survival of our team of 'heroes'. The car chase at the start through Florence somehow felt Transformers like, in the way that the cars went flying through the air. In addition to the generic car chase sequences, the gun fights felt like something I'd scene a million times before, as did the (limited) hand to hand combat scenes. None of the action really hit the spot for me on this one, and I found myself experience a constant level of boredom throughout. The plot was all a bit bizarre, and to be honest I'm not entirely sure what was going on with the non-linear story telling in the first act. It was all far too confusing and wholly unnecessary, adding nothing to the picture. I think Bay was attempting to add a semblance of high brow to this generic and run of the mill film. I'm not really sure why any of the characters decided to fake their deaths and turn to a life of magnanimous mercenary work, but I'm not entirely sure I cared. Speaking of the characters, I really was not emotionally connected to any of them. They were about as two dimensional as film characters come, and I found myself not caring at all about their fates. 6 Underground also displayed some of Michael Bay's 'humour'... which much like the action just didn't hit the mark for me. Even Ryan Reynolds couldn't save the godawful script, and I'm really none the wiser at to why he signed on for this. Surely Deadpool has lined his pockets enough that he doesn't have to bother with films like this? A lacklustre and derivative attempt at an action thriller which falls flat on so many notes. It isn't even funny how bad it is... it's just bad.",4 "A movie made for ppl who don't like/understand gamers by ppl who don't like/understand gamers.

I learned more about space and how to live in a spaceship than I did in any other show. I watched enough of this show to then realize I am actually somewhat qualified to be a shield agent (on my good days). The drama and graphics and teamworkmanship kept me interested to care to watch every season. I watched this show a lot during quarantine. It helped me learn a lot I didn't know about. Learning both the villains struggle and the hero's struggle all in one show was pretty mind blowing. But overall I think this show is a classic and I would recommend it to any Marvel Fan.,7 Am I the only one or this movie leaves you with a bad taste in mouth? Lawrence and Schoenaerts were great! It had great potential but was dismally predictable.,6 "Perfect writing, amazing dialogue, great choice of music, outstanding cinematography and more importantly otherwise you would not believe any of it, perfect acting. This show worth you spend the 3 first episodes no really knowing where it goes, as its premise to something way bigger. Wow!",8 "The first season was mediocre. A bit disappointing compared to the book, but I thought the first season is never perfect. I had high expectations for the second season, but those were completely crushed after the second episode. The book was not adapted at all to a TV series. Most of the TV series was plot contrivances made up by the writers. There was no fidelity to the source material. I also question, when there are dozens of excellent and interesting monsters in the Witcher world, why make up your own mediocre monsters? Writers should play more Witcher games that are well adapted from the book.",6 Really this got all those great ratings! It was a waste of time. There were much better movies at the time including. The Greatest Showman should have swept the Awards. But this horrible movie got awards! The music stunk and the acting was sub par. The story was older than a dish rag.,1 I simply hated this film. thought it was the most overrated crap that hollyweird has produced in a long time.,1 "Do not panic! No spoilers in this review! I thourouhly enjoyed the first two episodes of this post apocalyptic zombie drama very much. The opening two episodes were fantastic. Accurately following the game and setting the dynamics of Ellie and Joels relationship excellently. The third episode was very much a filler episode in my opinion. Though the story was compelling it could have easily been told in half an episode and left the other half of the episode to let us enjoy some zombie mayhem. Some reviewers have given this episode one star only I believe that is harsh. I hope future episodes contain less filler content and more apocalyptic action.",8 "A completely different genre as compare to the previous series. The series moves you with its emotional factors. Though its CGI, the scenes were awesome and mesmerizing. Oscar Issac seamlessly performs the character. His DID transition from one character to another is flawless. Like a snap. Ethan Hawke's performance was also great. Mohammed Diab delivers a masterpiece. No spoilers. Ep. 3 is just WOW. Ep. 4 is a must, do not miss this. And Ep. 5 gets to the core of story. On the contrary, the black-out scenes could have been shown to the fans one way or other, may be in flashbacks, and the finale should have been longer. Overall a great edition to Marvel series. Marvel Forever.",7 "I don't have the skills to put into words how awful this film is, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is taken to the extreme. I don't think it would have been possible to have made a film any worse, the saving grace is that Margot Robbie gives a stellar performance as per usual. Ryan Gosling, along side a few other names in the film also deliver solid performances, but none of these can save the film. If you want to be depressed for 90 minutes straight then this is the movie for you, however, if like most people, your goal when watching movies is entertainment then this will unfortunately leave you seriously underwhelmed.",2 "Barbie is living a perfect life in her Barbie world filled with Barbies and Kens. Without the fear of change and the assurance of perfection, Barbie gets through the day partying until she starts thinking about death. Fearing malfunction, she is asked to visit the Real World to find her human pal to resolve the issue and get back to her perfect life. Ken follows her to the Real World where both come across patriarchy, which overwhelms them. When Barbie returns back to her world, she realizes what she is about to lose and how Barbie along with the other Barbies, couple of humans and an Allan, work together to save their world forms the story. Initially, it takes a bit of time to get used to the narrative as well as the humor. Good thing is it doesn't take much time to get me invested in the world of Barbie and Ken. The perfect casting ensured the smooth flow of the story and the likes of Kate McKinnon, Will Ferrell took care of elevating a simple scene with their impeccable comic timing. It is the final act, where Greta Gerwig proved why she is among the best to handle mother-daughter relationship or to even narrate women. There are several scenes that earns instant laughter and those scenes are cleverly handled. I did expect atleast a couple of more dance numbers. Ryan Gosling easily became pick of the lot and Margot Robbie owned her character as Barbie. The monologue scene with the mother worked for me and ofcourse the Ken's breakdown towards the end. If the first hour provides genuine humor, it is the second half that truly make it a thorough entertainer blending humor with emotions.",7 "Why Marvel/Sony/Colombia gave a $110million budget movie, to a person like Andy Serkis, who has only ever directed a single other film, I just honestly don't understand... WHY would you have such a big budget film to an unknown director? It's just crazy, and it resulted in the movie being pretty bad. I mean, the first Venom (2018) movie wasn't amazing, but Ruben Fleischer (the director) at least did a better job than Serkis, because he already had 3 other films under his belt. There's so many things wrong with this movie, and I counted at least 2 big plot holes, which comes down to sloppy and lack-luster writing. And if you pair that lack-luster writing with a brand-new director, then of course things aren't going to go well. I'd honestly rather watch Venom (2018) three times over, before I watch this movie again.... that's how bad this one was. Next time, don't pick somebody who only has 1 directorial credit to their name, to direct an epic $110million superhero film rofl. 5/10. One of the worst Marvel movies ever made.",5 "This was so much better than I was expecting! Sure, I liked the first Captain America film, but in reality, he's not Marvel's strongest character - just their version of Superman, but he CAN die from a bullet. However, they were smart with this one, bringing in a strong cast to back Cap up - with familiar faces Black Widow (Johansson), Nick Fury (Jackson), Maria Hill (Smulders), Jasper Sitwell (Hernández) and Senator Stern (Shandling) all in at least one of the other films or the TV show - plus Falcon (Mackie) and Senator Pierce (Redford) as the new additions. The biggest mystery - if you haven't read the comics - is who the Winter Soldier is, and it does a pretty good job of the reveal (no spoilers here!). The whole film flows on nicely from the 'The First Avenger' and 'The Avengers'. I was really happy with the pacing - it does a great job of reintroducing the familiar characters and bringing in the new ones and then there's plenty of action and great set-pieces - most on a scale I didn't believe Captain America could/would accommodate. And there's plenty of humour too, even when the characters are in dire straits. It also works well for the first 90min or so as a pretty great mystery, with plenty of curve-balls and ""did that really happen?"" moments. This is really fun to watch, as you get to see more of Steve Rogers as a character, rather than Captain America, the warrior. It's also nice to see Cap and Black Widow spending time together not fighting enemies - although I'm biased, because I would watch Scarlett Johansson in anything! But the best parts are still the action sequences - they've given Cap some great moves and it's just plain fun to watch him and how they've filmed it. The Stan Lee cameo/one-liner is great and links in nicely with an earlier scene and Danny Pudi from Community even gets a pretty funny scene. It's also nice to see Fury play a more pivotal role, rather than one or two small scenes. The plot gets a little absurd near the end, but it gives Cap, Black Window and Falcon a mission and sets up a huge battle in the final 20min. There's sure to be some repercussions from the events of this film. And we only have to wait two years until the next Captain America film, which is a good thing, seeing how well made this one was. As always, stay until after the end titles for a very revealing scene!",9 "Black Mirror is a series that essentially focuses on how technology can backfire on society. It's of course a fantasy show and each episode serves as a standalone narrative. As a result, you can easily tap in and out of this show. That's not the de-value the series and suggest that because there's no undercurrent narrative that there's no reason to tune in after seeing one episode. The writers leave you wondering ""what else could go wrong in this world?"" This is a series that will get you pondering your own life choices. I will say as a slight minus, as a result of each episode being quite different, there is some variability in the quality of each episode. Generally speaking, I enjoyed the majority of this series.",8 "Now, this vote was a tricky one: If it was someone else's work, I'd give it a 8. I think Segel can do much much better, as a director of course, his acting was quite enjoyable. Since it's Segel work, I was about to give it a 6. But then, with Mila Kunis on it, it deserves at least a 7, doesn't it? What about Russel Brand? The scenario is interesting, the acting are satisfying and everything goes well. Until the movie ends, leaving you with a ""Wait, I was hoping that this was just a build up for the really funny moments of the movie"" feeling.",6 "I'm just sorry I shortened my life by labouring through this self-indulgent, tedious and pointless drivel, which unfailingly fails with its extremely flaccid attempts at humour or drama. This was almost as bad as ""the Book of Mormon"". Live a little longer and skip this one.",1 "Won three oscars, so it must be pretty good. Another tale of history from Chris Nolan. During the ""great war"", WW II, the forces were pushed back to the coast, forcing a HUGE evacuation. Considered by many to be a crucial point of the war, they had to make this happen, or the war might go the wrong way. Some interesting things discussed in the trivia section here on imdb. Nolan wanted things to be as accurate as possible, which accounts for his five nominations. Separate stories of trying to escape the french side of the war. An airman trying to get out of his downed plane. Soldiers on the beach, waiting for boats that don't seem to be coming. Boats trying to make their way across to save them, without being blown up themselves. Very well done. Lots of suspense, even if you know the outcome (since this happened 80 years ago, early in the war). Very intense. As most of his films are. Written and directed by Chris Nolan. You may have heard of his other little projects... Inception, Prestige, and a couple Batmans.",7 "I know i'm not a fan of Captain America, or even Marvel Heroes. But this movie was so cool and great from another sequel movies like Iron Man 2 or Thor: The Dark World. The good thing that i love from this movie is their action and fight scenes is more complicated & more fun. Nowadays, i knew that this movie has so much reference from one of Indonesia movie, called The Raid. Oh that's the reason, Steve Rogers looks like he's more doing good act to kill his enemies. The character that I love is Scarlett Johanson as Natasha Rumanoff. That woman is still hot and cool. And, another one is... Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow. He's so handsome (I'm looking for another his movies)",7 "This is the 2nd time I am writing a review about any movie. the 1st one was Raanjhanaa. I am not into bollywood movies that much. but there are some movies of bollywood which really moves you. like ""Dil Chahta hai"". This movie has a brilliant storyline which will surely touch you. The direction has done perfectly well. And Kangna... what should I say? She has done the great justice to the movie. I guess no one could have played the role of naive and simple ""Rani"" better than her. The best part about this movie is that it will teach you lesson of life and its beauty. This movie has got everything. amazing story, emotions, laugh and voyage of self discovery and exploring life !! This movie is a must watch. worth every penny and every second.",10 "Saying that this film is a Musical is like saying The Martian is a comedy. I found the film extremely slow moving and it did not hold my attention. The story line was weak and it had me hoping it would improve. It did not improve and I walked out with about 40 minutes of the film remaining. Considering the exceptional reviews and ratings this film has been getting I was sorely disappointed. Films like Singing in the Rain are musicals. This is not even a fraction of a musical. I am an avid film goer and consider that I have enough musical knowledge, coming from a musical background, to give such judgments. I notice one other reviewer stated this could be classed as a poor man's Woody Allen film and I totally agree. Last year I saw The Cafe Society and this had far greater costumes, acting, depth and music .",2 This show is a sitcom but without being funny. Its boring. Every episode last for 20 minutes and then you can watch 15 more minutes of credits ... Every 20 minutes of episode you could find 10 seconds of something relatable to MCU. Everything else is bad jokes that aren't funny,1 "Black Mirror has been by far, my favorite series in decades comparable only to The Twilight Zone and of course, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. Black Mirror managed to surpass BOTH for me which is no small feat, combining both sci-fi and mystery with an ongoing theme of strange curiosity that evokes both imagination and emotion. I found myself quite literally on the edge of my seat with each and every episode, ruminating over each episode that graced my screen after watching and anxiously anticipating the next episode - and series - with disappointment and feeling a great void when they were over. This was true with each and every episode from series 1 through series 4. I am still ranking this series as a whole an 8 out of 10 which would have been a strong 10 without reservation had it not been for series 5. Now, we reach series 5 and I'm more confused than disappointed. I'll explain... While there have been only 3 episodes thus far in the 5th season, they all seem to have an ongoing theme of absurdity. Well, almost uselessness. The 1st episode is interesting but way too far-fetched and predictable than remotely possible which is the key element in what creates good mystery and sci-fi in the first place. This episode, it's just silliness. And, if you happen to have strong core values you may want to view this before showing it to your children. Even my husband who is a die-hard sci-fi addict found it not only absurd but revolting, just FYI, and we are absolutely open-minded and accepting of alternative lifestyles and views. The second episode is a regurgitated lesson from back in 2010 and is equally predictable. The 3rd episode is definitely sci-fi approved however there was way under zero mystery and was more predictable than the first 2 episodes. I will say though, that the addition of the altered 90's lyrics from 25 years ago was a nice touch. It's as though they shoved Charlie Brooker (who I admire greatly) into a closet and said ""You have 3 days, come up with 3 episode stories."" They're terrible. And, to a certain degree they have all been done before. I won't mention how or where as this would create spoilers. The directing was awful. So, what happened?",8 "Most horror movies seem to be cut from the same mold, but Talk To Me is an original. Right from the start, you are thrust into the action - and a creepy feeling that things just aren't right. This movie doesn't let up, and it doesn't stop defying what we have all come to expect from horror movies. Talk to Me will do more than just shock you (as most horror movies all do). This movie brings family, friends, and even strangers into the complex web the protagonist (Mia) is dealing with. No spoilers here: the absolute best way to watch Talk to Me is by getting to the theater without a clue about what to expect!. Then hold on!!!",9 "One of the worst films, if you can even call it a film. The scenes are arbitrarily cut together. The background music is not only phenomenally badly chosen, it's just annoying. And then there's the eternal yelling of everyone involved. There is no common theme or story to be seen. Waste 2h of your life with something else, for example counting snowflakes when they fall.",4 Worst Movie Ever. Don't waste your time. It has nothing productive or entertaining in it. Total wastage of time.,1 "Well everything was great about this movie, visual effects, music, acting was amazing but it lacked a plot. Like it was just some plot making before actual story.",7 "Compared to the original movie: 1) No Batman movie can beat the original Batman (1989). 2) There's not even a Batwing and Batmobile. 3) Heath Ledger did a very good dark version of the Joker, but unfortunately there is no better Joker than Jack Nicholson. 4) Danny Elfman could not do a better job making the soundtrack. 5) The 1989 Batman ""Main Theme"" has an unforgettable, recognizable classic. 6) Christian Bale's voice as Batman is always grumbling, which just sounds horrible every time he speaks. 7) Christian Bale's head wearing the Batman mask does not even fit him, looking ridiculous which he fails in the role of Batman. 8) Original Batmobile is a classic car. Vehicles used in The Dark Knight? Enormous large sized wheels under an ugly armored piece of steel. 9) No Batcave. 10) Christopher Nolan, you're out of order with these modern Batman film series. 1 out of 10 for The Dark Knight (2008)",6 "This is NOT a movie- it's just a series of torture scenes... There is no meaningful dialogue; the script is almost as bad as the disjointed ambiguous plot- there is no semblance of a story arc or even reasons for one to assume or have a belief that the main character will live . There is no want by the by the creators to tell a compelling story about Solomon Northup- which I'm sure his book is an incredible story by the irrefutable tenacity of the human spirit to survive and to endure- because one always has to have hope; even if there seems at times and in life that there is no reason; well this movie is bereft of purpose, plot, and poignancy pathetic.... I'm sure Solon Northup's tale was riveting but this movie is just revolting.",1 Another white savior story with token brown people.,3 "Much have been written about this series love for the early 80s. And it's understandable. The whole period of John Carpenter, Steven Spielberg, teenage horror-movies and cold war paranoia has been mixed together to a real tasty love potion. If you're too young and don't love the 80s for sentimental reasons you probably will after a few episodes of Stranger Things. The story is set in a small rural town and revolves around a missing boy. His friends is soon dragged into a mystery and an adventure. Goonies and I.T. with the BMX bikes, nerds turning into heroes and a friendship story worthy a Spielberg movie. But there is so much more. The older sister have her own problems and her adventure makes an equally intriguing and fun story including all the ingredients for a classic high school horror movie. Under age drinking, skinny dipping and stupid boyfriends. And finally there is the confused and distraught mother and the towns sheriff also trying to solve the mystery. What impresses me the most is how the series manages to keep all three parts of the plot relevant and interesting all the way to the climax. The pacing is mostly perfect and so is the acting. The child characters are all well played, specially Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven and the funny character Dustin played by Gaten Matarazzo. Of course Winona Ryder is brilliant as the desperate mother. The 80s atmosphere is well set with great horror sequences with the mandatory light flickering, scare jumps and electronic music that could have been made by John Carpenter. There is a lot of John Carpenter stuff going on here and it's great. Some of the inspirations for the series are even featured in one way or the other. Stephen King, The Thing, Michael Myers, and a few more. The only weaknesses I can find here is the somewhat uninteresting bad guys. And David Harbours sheriff doesn't do it for me. His character don't add up so to speak. There is something missing there. But these minor flaws are very minor. Stranger Things is defiantly some of the best TV I've seen for the last three years or so.",8 "Writing this to get rid of the ""profile checkilst"" box",7 "I don't really do this but I'd like to make an exception in this case. The movie is excellent. Great way of story telling. The story is about one man but he is not the only one who plays the role exceedingly well. After watching this I don't think any one who acted in this film was remotely bad. They all acted amazingly well and gave true justice to their own characters. Only drawback that i can mention here is the time. i think the movie is a bit too long. For the first 2 and half hours i didn't really feel the need to look at my watch. Overall a refreshing film with excellent story and great acting.",10 "It started out great! Some great actors, Kiefer has come a long way and his assistant is good. The woman playing his wife is a train wreck! But then, the part she plays is absurd! Who has that much bad luck all while acting a fool? The daughter is a little better, but not much. The writers need to get a check on reality and I'm just disgusted with them always writing women as being such frail idiots! We don't scream at every criminal trying to rape, kidnap, or attack us! We are smart and use our brains!",7 "It's not a bad crack at the book, some good additions others not so grand. Straight of the bat brilliant choice with Sandra bullock as malorie just who I pictured when reading. My only issues with it was: 1. Why does Netflix have to politicise everything? There's no need to shove in Gay, Army vets at any given chance. That's what was so good about the book it wasn't politicised. 2. They rushed bits that didn't need rushing and slower down bits that didn't need slowing. There was however some deviation from the book which was good not gunna spoil anything but I highly recommend the book. You could read he book before hand and then complain how it's not as good as the book or read the book after and then read the book haphazardly.",7 That's the question for this series. Disney tried to reinvent the Jeff Lemaire's Moon Knight series but they failed again doing a total mess. It's a shame because this series has a great cast nevertheless the plot was the wrong choice to introduce the character to new audiences. Another big failure for the Disney's Marvel Universe.,1 "Marvel's advertising campaigns are always ready to please their viewers with preliminary content. There are a lot of videos and various materials coming out before each new studio project. However, the announcement and subsequent marketing of the series ""Wanda/Vision"" became a kind of discovery for moviegoers. It was a new direction in the franchise familiar to fans. To begin with, it was necessary to accept that the project would become a mini-series, the first of many subsequent ones, but it was the first. Then the format of the work was alarming. We are offered something out of genre, when some scenery and incarnations of heroes are replaced by others, showing different eras. What do. I was personally preparing for something special. The series started, and each new episode initially raised more questions. What happens, where does it happen, when does it happen? Somewhere after the equator of the project, puzzles suddenly begin to take shape, a dynamic and interesting project emerges. Of course, the series does not reach the individual blockbuster films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it is good in its own way. The visual component, the design of the scenes, the styles - all this looks great. The creators perfectly managed to immerse their viewers in different epochs of the last century, told through an excellent visual series what the sitcoms of the past were, because the current generations could hardly watch American TV series of such distant years now. In addition, we are shown the evolution of the main character Wanda, who finds development in this particular arch, faces her demons, confronts the villain. Elizabeth Olsen fully reveals her character to us and does it very cool. Wanda tries on new images from series to series: a young wife, mother, defender of her new world. I think that the project as a whole revealed the potential of the actress and gave food for thought. After all, the development of the Wanda Arch is still ahead. And it promises to be very interesting. The series came out decent. This is an unusual and new work, both from a genre point of view and from the point of view of the format. Small series that add up to a massive overall picture and tell the audience a full-fledged story. This project is clearly for connoisseurs of the Marvel universe. It should be watched in the same order as the films were released, otherwise there is a risk of not understanding a lot. There are already famous heroes in the project, and new ones will be presented. One thing cannot be taken away - the project is really important for the development of the Cinematic Universe. 8 out of 10.",8 "It just seems like the effort wasn't there. This is a crew that came out with Superbad, 40 year old virgin, and although I haven't seen it i've heard it was good, Knocked up. The first two films were just laugh-out-loud comedies. Sure there was crude humor, and some childish pranks, but you know what you're getting into when you see the previews. They are films in the mold of the Farelly Brothers, like Kingpin, or something about Mary. These are crudely fashioned moralistic tales, with a lot of raunchy, sometimes gross humor. But the main point is they supply enough gut busting laughs to sustain one through an hour and a half. Sadly this film doesn't accomplish that mundane task. It drags, the leading ladies don't appear all that appealing, and the laughs (when they do come) just don't satisfy. Skip it, and rent a classic like Stir Crazy, or Used Cars, hell even settle for UH1 or Dirty Deeds.",5 "I simply cannot understand why this film rated so highly. The best part was Emma Stone's acting but other than that there is virtually nothing worth praising. If this was an attempt to revive the classic film musicals of the forties and fifties it fails utterly in my opinion. The main problem is that Emma Stone can't sing and Ryan Gosling can't act. Another problem is that in many of the other musical numbers including the opening one in the LA traffic jam you can't hear the lyrics. As an actor Ryan Gosling reminds me of sixties actor David Jansen who played Richard Kimble in the Fugitive TV series - he has one or at the most two facial expressions. Overall the story is fairly boring too. I'm writing this review about two weeks after seeing the movie and I have no desire to see it again. I'm probably being generous in rating this 4/10.",4 "I first watched Sherlock in the autumn of 2013 and I loved it. I kept watching and I'll even admit to somewhat liking the infamous fourth series when it came out. However, with every subsequent re-viewing, it just gets worse and worse. To understand the problems with this programme, you have to understand the problems with Steven Moffat's writing generally. He's very good at setting up interesting plot points, but more often than not he then utterly fails to follow through on them properly. In his adaptations, he also invariably misses the point of the source material by having everything in the show's universe revolve around its main character, who is usually reinterpreted as some sort of all-powerful ultimate hero. Such is the fate of Holmes here. In true Moffat style, the plotting jumps from twists to the teasing of more twists, rarely resolving anything tangible within the space of a single episode. Half of the time these twists don't even amount to anything and are awkwardly cancelled out, which makes it increasingly difficult to stay invested as the series progresses. The presence of Mark Gatiss only seems to have encouraged Moffat's worst tendencies as a writer. The crucial deduction sequences during cases are also manhandled. In the books you're given most of the clues to ponder yourself and then Holmes pieces them together, filling in the blanks. In Sherlock however, this seems to play in reverse; the audience is usually given very little in the way of clues, followed by Sherlock figuring it out himself either offscreen or by jumping to absurd conclusions that are invariably correct. You have to wonder if Moffat and Gatiss have fundamentally misunderstood how mystery writing works, or if they deliberately wrote Sherlock as an omniscient superman to get out of having to actually write any smart deduction. As time goes by, the importance of the mysteries seems to dwindle anyway in the face of trite character work. There is an unpleasant air of smugness that runs through this programme, from its flagrant disregard for the novels to the creators' callous attitude to its fans. This is particular egregious in the third series, where after two years of encouraging certain attitudes and behaviour among the fans, Moffat and Gatiss essentially make fun of them for this very behaviour. This is really quite nasty and says a lot about them as people. This combined with the sexist tendencies and shameless queer-baiting that crops up so often in Moffat's work leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. The one saving grace of Sherlock is its cast. Cumberbatch fares particularly well, as his natural charm often slips through his character's bland egomania. The rest of the cast are all good too, although the programme's hyper-focus on Sherlock often leaves them with very little to work with. The first series is worth a watch, as the rot hadn't fully set in and it's fairly entertaining as long as you don't think about it too much. If you want contemporary Holmes though, I'd give the rest of it a miss and watch Elementary instead.",4 "Before I say anything further about Spider-man, I just want to clear up the fact that I am not a comic book fanboy, and am not an expert on spidey-lore. Saying that however I do enjoy comic book adaptations, and will endure almost anything, but that's not to say I will enjoy it as much as I did this, for instance the incomprehensibly bad LXG, oh how I wish I could get those two hours back. Until this point I had always considered Tim Burtons Batman the bench mark for super hero adaptations, in my view spider-man 2 changes this for a number of reasons. Firstly Spider-man 2 continues the storyline from the first film almost flawlessly, there is no doubt that we are in the same 'reality' as its predecessor. My only real complaint about this is the way that progression of time is handled, clunky dialog to place us in the correct time frame such as Aunt Mays 'can you believe it's been almost two years since you uncle Ben past away...' it seems that Alvin Sargent is not confidant enough in his audience to make the connection that Parker is now halfway through college, etc to place the film in its own time frame. Whereas in Batman Returns there is no real character development from the first film (where's Viki Vale? Surely now Batman has avenged his parents he can now forgive himself?) Spider-man 2 does to great effect, we can believe that time really has moved on and in some ways people have moved on, but in others they have not. Secondly in almost every aspect the action is handled a great deal more effectively. The CGI of which I am not a huge fan (a useful tool over relied upon) is substantially improved in this second outing. As Spidey swings between building this time around you don't doubt what's going on for a second. The two main encounters between Spider-man and Doctor Octopus are astounding, fluid, kinetic and with a great degree of tension. Thirdly Doctor Octopus is a more fully realized opponent. I don't mean to criticise either the Green Goblin of Wilem Dafoe's performance in the first film (which I thought was superb), but Octavius is presented far more sympathetically than Osborne ever was. Admittedly they do share a great deal of plotting (in fact the development of Doc Ock doe's have a great deal of similarity with the Green Goblin, but this for me was just a minor point of contention, and ultimately un escapable in the comic genre) which does however lessen the impact of octavius, but it is then a credit to Alfred Molina and Sam Raimi that Octavius comes out a winner. Credit must go not just to Molina however but to John Dykstra for the incredible performance of the tentacles instilled with a personality all of their own. For me the other major improvement in Spider-man 2 is the cinematography. Now reunited with his regular Director of Photography Bill Pope, Raimi is able to cut lose a little with his stylistic sensibilities. We are given (admittedly all too briefly) tentacle-cam much like the relentless 'evil' of Raimis earlier franchise. There is a much more visceral feel to the camera work in this film thanks to the work of Pope, who it seems has come through the matrix with a great understanding of how to marry the CGI component of filming with the photography, creating an almost seamless blend, which only falls down in some miner instances of CG over excess (such as the ultra quick track to the end of the subway line. I really hope that Pope is on board for Spidey 3. But even in the non-action moments the photography is highly effective, lingering on characters faces, often in moments of little dialog, giving us time to really watch the actors, which brings me on to my next subject. The performances in the film are quite remarkable. Now don't get me wrong I'm not campaigning for Oscars here but considering it is a comic book story more or less everyone is believable as a real human being. Maguire is still faultless as the torn Peter Parker; we can genuinely feel the lust for life draining out of his character as he faces problem and unwanted responsibility from all directions. Dunst with thankfully more to do this time around handles MJ extremely well, we can really feel her dilemma between the relatively stable John Jameson and her longing for the socially inept un reliable Parker. Great credit must also go to J.K. Simmons who has perfected the motor mouthed J.Jonah Jameson, who provides the film with much need comic relief, especially during his son's celebration event. Beyond these several main point s however there is much else to be admired in the film, including enjoyable in jokes both from Raimis past (chainsaw wielding, Bruce Campbell) and from spider-mans background including the use of the song from the TV show, performed by buskers, the introduction of Dr Connors, possible future villain. Spider-man also achieves the rarest of things in cinema; we are given a rewarding conclusion that ends the film perfectly whilst also providing a great cliff hanger (possibly one of the films stronger moments) without seemingly like a cop out TV moment like The Matrix Reloaded or Kill Bill Vol 1. All in all Kudos to all involved and I hope they keep up the good work. From this point on all superhero adaptations will have a new bench mark: Spider-man 2, one that I don't see anything in the near future surpassing. 8 out of 10",8 "Probably I was expecting a spectacle movie and something unique but ended up disappointed of having already seen this before. It is a story of good guy fighting a bad guy. Use popular name everyone knows and movie industry manage to squeeze out more money from movie goers. Ok, special effects are impressive and with good idea of projecting different reality on reality (so you don't know what is real). That is actually the only part standing out. Other than that.... yeah, you can put Batman into the position and paint movie in black colors... the same. Or put Iron-man and red shades... the same. Or whatever man in some whatever color - the same. Just make sure whatever man is well known to attract a lot of movie goers. Not masterpiece, sad about box office figure (that should say something about movie rating but it does not) and daring to make sequel!!!",3 "The first season was good, but it just hoped all over the place so much i was left trying to figure out what was going on and what time period they were in instead of just being able to fully enjoy the story, season 2 is also good, but it pulls me out of the story whenever they start focusing of yenefer's story. It might just be me but this story just doesnt work to well for me. Cool concept but it just doesnt grab my attention like it should.",6 "Was really looking forward to this having heard so many good things but gave up half way through episode 3. The concept is good (why it was a successful book and game) but the execution could be so much better. The acting is not great, Henry Cavill carries the show and it suffers from the same things much british fiction does. There is too much slang cockney type language which just sounds annoying after a while (I'm London Born and bred). There is too much effort to be ethnically diverse which never works in a medieval type setting, ever. I guess you could compare it to Game of Thrones but be warned that if you do you will see all its flaws.",5 "Either I'm going mad or this hastily written family drama was a spit to the face and a kick to the shin to a crap-load of ""Guardians"" fans. Who on Earth is Ego?!",4 "Enid Blyton's Br'er Rabbit was named Jojo Lapin (literally Jojo Rabbit) in French and so I've always thought the film had to be about the creation of the rabbit or the kid in the poster having a bunny as an imaginary friend, like a Harvey story. In fact the rabbit that earns the eponymous nickname serves one purpose: establishing the little antihero as a good person who wouldn't snap a rabbit's neck. Fine. Now, how about the film? The Oscar-darling? The Original Screenplay winner? Well, to fully appreciate the originality of Taika Waitit's ""JoJo Rabbit"", one must be unaware of movies such as ""Life is Beautiful"", ""Cabaret"", ""Hope and Glory"", ""To Be or Not To Be"", both the Ernst Lubistch and Mel Brooks' version, Mel Brooks' ""The Producers"", ""The Tin Drum"", a French gem named ""Gramps is in the Resistance"" and Gérard Jugnot's ""Monsieur Batignole"" and almost every Wes Anderson movie. In a way, it's very fitting that ""Jojo Rabbit"" is set in WW2 Germany (or Austria) because it has the feel of the ersatz. There's nothing that feels remotely natural about the adaptation of ""Caging Skies"" by Christine Leunens , the more it tries, the more it gets caged by the very sky of its stylistic delusions. The film feels less like the work of an artist than a fantasy over making his own (insert name of a famous Holocaust film). It all comes down to the very best creation of Waititi is his own embodiment of the evil H. As a little boy's imaginary friend, like the Bogart character for Woody Allen in ""Play it Again, Sam"". And (over)playing him, Waititi channels every single comical impersonation of the dictator, from Chaplin to 40s propaganda cartoon, reaching peaks of comedic hysteria in the beginning when he keeps frenetically stamping asking JoJo to heil him in a clever mix of grotesque and horror. If there had to be one performance worthy of an Oscar nomination, it would be that one. The problem is that Waikiki never tries to elevate the material beyond the weird gallery of loonies and goofy-looking Carnival Nutzis. Sam Rockwell as the Captain a youth camp is obviously a faux evil goosestepping toward his redemption and the instructor charged of the German Girls (Rebel Wilson) is obviously meant to ridicule the myth of the Aryan beauty and family pillar. Scarlett Johannsen is good as JoJo's mother Rosie but brings nothing that justifies her Oscar-nomination. It was the year of Jennifer Lopez' snub and now I confirm: she was better than Johannsen. As for the cute Roman Griffin Davis, I enjoyed his performance as Johannes ""Jojo"" Betzler to the degree that I could forget how predictable his character's arc was too. At first, he's an aficionado of the Swastico, a devotee of the party, who's with Hit. Like a Yankee fan meeting Mickey Mantle. We know the kid will change. And how he changes is nothing you haven't seen before. Unmbeknowst to him, his mother hides a young 'Anne Frank'-like girl in their home, Elsa (Thomain McKenzie) and the film is basically about a young boy learning that the community aren't the monsters he was taught about and well, it's a little disappointing that the whole narrative arc of the film depends on the change of mind of little JoJo. And all it takes is the Jewish girl to mock the archeypes by exaggerating them as if the underlying message was that ""you hate what you don't know"". Are you sure? The kid wasn't ignorant, just brainwashed and even the most hardcore nutzis knew Jews didn't grow thorns . So the very premise is compromised by common sense and reality and Elsa could simply tell the truth to JoJo who was never exposed as a kid capable to cause her downfall. And even if it was the case, the closet to barbarity displayed in the family is the rabbit bit. How can you sense the danger when the evil ideology is only shown as the ""it"" thing, the trend, with the opening credits making a parallel between the Triumph of the Will and the Beatlemania? Of course, the dictator appears sporadically and as defeat starts looming over, he's getting less and less likable but it's obvious from the start that the film belongs to the second category of WW2 Germany films: the non-threatening ones. It's closer to Mel Brooks and Wes Anderson than Benigni and when it becomes dark and serious for a moment (even Brooks had do to so) the drama doesn't work. And even if it did, it showed that JoJo's evolution comes from some things he witnessed, not because Elsa told her story, the real one. Waititi didn't want to spoil the ""Moonrise Kingdom"" feel of the little puppy romance. While the two kids have a fair chemistry, the relationship isn't better than the mother-and-daughter interaction. In ""Tin Drum"", the kid made an outcast of himself by being obnoxious and hateful and short, JoJo couldn't be unlikable even if he wanted too. I wonder if Archie Yokes who played his fat friend Yorki could have made a more interesting outcast by not being so cute. As for Elsa, never has her acting suggested that she's hiding from the Nazis but rather fleeing from abusive parents. In fact the threat is never overwhelming enough to have Elsa or Rosie tries to talk some sense to the kid, it's not like he was a five-year old or that he was in danger, imagination is good but this is life and death. And so maybe the more disturbing truth about the film is that it underestimates a child's intelligence. Wasn't JoJo able to understand what's going on? Maybe Waititi wanted to keep it lighthearted and fun, but there's a limit to how much he could let character clown around and milk the ""war though children's eyes' formula without getting it repetitive, redundant... and déjà vu.",6 "We want second session. Superb performance.. great writing, acting, comedy, script.. We want more like this. Best web series in India.. I like this better than TVF ASPIRANTS. Honestly speaking, TVF Aspirants is not bad but, TVF pitchers writing is next level. TVF pitchers is international class web series.. STILL my TVF pitchers number 1 web series in India. I want second session..",9 "I wanted to enjoy this film but after about 20 minutes of struggling to decode Matthew McConaughey's slurring and mumbling words I was unable to follow it so admitted defeat and gave up. Maybe it's a great film otherwise, I don't know, but if I can't understand what the main character is saying there's no point watching.",3 "If you don't like what you see within the first 15 minutes of this film, turn it off or leave the theater, because that's what you will see repeated over and over again for the next three hours. Okay, I get it. There are people who will do anything for money and who are morally bankrupt. This is Hollywood meets soft porn when soft porn has already been killed off by one-click-accessible porn. I'm not a puritan. This is just an objective fact. We live in the Age of Pornography. I, therefore, don't understand why Scorsese thinks this is the 'shocking' lens he should use to educate us on the evils of Wall Street greed and excess, unless he hopes to drag in the teenage boy audience, in which case, it simply amounts to pandering. In the end, I felt that it was Scorsese himself who was morally bankrupt. I think it is time for him to reassess his career. No great film was ever made so by pandering to base instincts. Great films stand on the strength of fundamental truths about human nature that leave the viewer leaving the theater uplifted, inspired, or awakened to elements of human nature in some way. This does not mean all movies have to have happy endings. The knowledge one takes from a good film can force one to reassess their values or ideas and this can be a difficult experience. But there is nothing fundamentally challenging about this film. Even if you try to think of it as a sort of documentary, it falls flat. Now, what about the acting? There is no doubt that Leonardo DiCaprio is a great actor. However, I haven't been impressed by many of his recent efforts (i.e. Gatsby). In this film his character is one dimensional from beginning to end. There is no character development and no real opportunities for him to show his acting range. The same can be said for all the other actors, but given such an insipid script, what can you expect? After a couple of hours of watching Scorsese trying to educate us on the evils of wealth, I just wanted the film to end. He seemed to have an ax to grind in the tradition of other ax-grinders like Michael Moore and Oliver Stone. The last hour was simply an ordeal. Scenes seemed randomly cut and pasted together. Although I can't say there were not some interesting scenes within the film, they only served as sad reminders of Scorsese's wasted talent. It makes no sense at all to me why this film is rated so highly. Maybe there are a number of people who were surprised to learn that excessive wealth can lead to bad behavior. All I learned is to be careful of giving too much credence to the ratings of any Scorsese film.",3 "Decent story, i see where they were going but this is the directors first film, before this film he made music videos so ye, understandable. Script was awful",5 "Now a days these hindi directors put adultery scenes for the audience just because it sells, old hindi cinemas are good but not now a days. Why so many sex scenes in hindi cinemas and series. We dont want that. Otherwise i wont watch any movies or series which has this kind of scenes.its good for indian audience, dont imitate the english dramas.otherwise you loss the uniqueness. This kind os scenes are very disturbing, its like soft porn that im watching. I hope umcoming series and movies wont add this unnecessary disturbing adultery scenes. Netflix and hotstar knows for this,we dont want this losers.",1 "It was truly worth waiting, I was so much looking forward for such a talented cast, absolutely worth waiting. Watched with friends, everyone enjoyed it thoroughly, more can always be done, but a well woven script with no loose ends, spectacular, clearly a master-piece. It is worth an ENCORE performance, wish the music was more upbeat, it left me wanting & wishing for more..more excitement, it was there, just there all it needed was to ""uplift"" it to the next level. A thorough piece of intelligence in delivering such a work of art needs focus and placement of enlighted ""Chakras"". Daniel C is a treat to watch.",10 "I cannot believe the score this movie has. I know it is very arty with great cinematography and that is good, but I really expected more from Nolan. There was no sense of reality for the suffering that went on for those poor men on that beach or for the mass mobilisation of civilians to try and save them. Filmmakers these days have a moral and ethical obligation to tell these stories accurately, especially as very soon we will have lost all our veterans. Too many people believe everything that Hollywood portrays, the least they could do is be accurate. Please do not watch the movie.",1 """Fargo"" is one of those movies that if I happen to come across it on TV I put the remote down and I settle in for a great piece of filmmaking. ""Fargo"" hits on all cylinders. The dialogue, acting, music and photography are all top-notch. Although ""Fargo"" has a lot of laughs, it annoys me when people call it a comedy. People laugh when the wife is running around in the shower curtain. I'm sorry but that scene is scary not funny. I think people laugh at that scene because they're uncomfortable watching what's going on. Other than a few moments like that, ""Fargo"" is a practically flawless movie. It'a a true classic. Honorable mention: a terrifying Peter Stormare.",10 "Nothing common with the books. The story jumps from book to book. It starts somewhere feom the middle of the Volume 2,than goes back in the begging of Volume 1. The age of the characters is completely wrong, Yenefer is more than 500 years old. Stupid USA productions they always ruined everything.",2 "Recently watched this movie and was totally blown away by the simplicity of it. Is it so difficult to make a movie with a tight script, good character building and great acting. After watching KKG, it seems so easy. There is nothing which gives out that this is a Bollywood product. No great locations (Yashraj style), no designer clothes (Johar style), no melodrama (Barjatya style), but still more than managed to hold the viewer's attention. But then what else do you expect from a movie with real 'actors' like Anupam Kher, Boman Irani and not to forget, Navin Nischol. I won't go into the script, but it suffices to say that only once in a while do we get to see movie with a middle class man at its center. And then again, he is not a young, college going kid, who falls in love with a girl, but (gasp) a retired employee, who dreams to build his own house. How frequently do we get to see films with characters we can relate to? KKG breaks the typical Bollywood mould in many ways. Just watch it to believe that there are still some good thinkers and creators left in the industry.",9 "I watched it on continuous pressure from friends and feeling of being left out in conversation about what if. But now I feel good for the past me who hadn't watched it. It is boring never gets interesting and some episodes even leave the ending hanging making us guess that it will continue in next episode while it doesn't. In short not worth it unless you want to like marvel less than before.",6 "I like a good murder mystery and Hollywood hasn't been making them since the 90's so I was looking forward to this based on the glowing reviews and the 8.1 rating on imdb. Unfortunately as murder mysteries go this one doesn't really have anything original to add. It's also quite boring. It started very slowly with loads of scenes of people sitting in rooms talking in long boring monologues. I love a good dialogue driven movie like The Social Network, Reservoir Dogs, A Few Good Men, Moneyball, The Lincoln Lawyer etc, but the dialogue in Knives Out is bland and full of pretentious waffle. It finally got interesting in the last half hour, but the way the crime was solved was lazy. Daniel Craig calls the guilty party into a room and then explains exactly how the crime was committed despite the fact he hasn't really done much in the way of investigating. It's just lazy. It's meant to be clever, but I was expecting a further twist because I couldn't believe it would be this basic, but it is. Basically Daniel Craig chats to everyone for an hour or so then in classic Columbo style reveals he has all the answers and you're supposed to be blown away by how clever it all is. I wasn't. I'm giving it a 5/10 because at least it was something different coming out of Hollywood for a change. I'm fed up with reboots, superhero movies and big franchises so I'm happy that this was made. I just wish it was better.",5 Jonah Hill nails it in this movie and so does Emma Stone! I actually had a very fun time watching it and would watch it again for sure! Every teen should check this out!,8 "I went to watch this with my wife, when I got back I did some research and discovered that there were actual Bison slaughtered to make this movie, 5 in fact. It made me sick to think I had given money to this movie for stating this my first review has been deleted I work with dogs extensively in training and life, and found the movie to do 'quantum leaps' in how the boy and wolf interact, no scaffolding, no stages to get to critical behaviors, it just all falls conveniently into place",1 "A movie made by director in his late 70s, starring actors in their late 70s, romanticizing the American mafia of the1960s. Absolutely nothing original, relevant or interesting in the 3.5 hours here. Better to watch Goodfellas or Casino. This seems like the kind of movie you'd make if you didn't feel any pressure to attract people to theatres to see it and Netflix promised not to share how many viewers quit halfway through. If this is Mr. Scorsese's vision of ""cinema,"" he's welcome to it. I won't be joining him.",3 "I grew up in South Africa. This film is a joke; poorly directed and the production values of the prison are so bad, horrendously bad accents, full of falsehoods and complete propaganda, as if the ANC was a good cause. Today in 2020 the ANC continue murdering their own people and white people and yet this film tries to look back in time as if they were heroes to try and justify the terrible government and system in place today. Many people have left SA and for good reason, sadly not all of my family could leave. Shame on you Radcliffe for even taking this role. Without even knowing it, you're actually in an anti-white propaganda film.",2 "Beyond boring, had to turn it off. The story line is retarded, it is very confusing. The only reason I would even give it one star is because Leonardo and the girl from Juno are good. The special effects were overdone and so unrealistic it made it even more boring. The whole concept of this movie is so unrealistic I can't even take it. ""projections of my subconscious?"". Dreams within dreams within dreams within dreams I am bored to tears watching this movie. Dreams come alive and then dreams and subconscious and dreams you just can't control, I guess I am into realistic movies. This movie is crap and I would seriously suggest sticking needles in your eyes before I watched this, that would be seriously more entertaining.",1 "This anime made me feel proud of what mankind can create, this is the best series i have ever watched after BB, it makes you sink in its own world, of how things work, of how every character is portrayed, it makes you think you are living in one of those walls, you can taste the horror,the best anime ever. Thank you",8 "I usually dislike most horrors, I find that studios and a lot of writers in the genre these days continually recycle ideas and content. Talk to Me was different, I loved everything about it, directing, acting, videography, editing and the entire concept. I noticed some one star reviews, I'd had to invite them to a party, they would be the most boring people at the party, guaranteed they wouldn't do the hand haha I've followed most Danny & Michael's career and to see them release a incredible movie first go is so great to see. Hoping there is a Talk 2 Me out soon! Great work Danny & Michael & Crew!",10 "This is no average superhero film you expect, this is more of a spy thriller. Give props to the Russo brothers for making Captain America likeable for the MCU. This movie is where I place it with Spider-Man 2, X2, The Dark Knight, and Logan.",9 I just finished watching the film and it is like 2 hours are wasted. From trailer it was looking like some sort of interesting and thrilling but the movie is totally crap. Although the acting from those two kids was amazing.,1 "In the age of three-minute YouTube videos and flashing Instagram stories, 6 Underground is siren-loud in a bid to deafen us long enough to make away with our attention spans. Like a child riding out a sugar rush, it guarantees a sensory overload - and a drilling migraine. The opening of Michael Bay's 2019 action thriller presents us with not one, but six impossibly witty, dexterous and specialized agents led by Gray (Ryan Reynolds), who go on to act as nameless Robin Hoods in a world controlled by soulless, cackling dictators. The opening car chase scene introduces us to the protagonists, thrusting us into their speeding Lamborghini as they annihilate the streets of Italy while trying to get away from the black-robed mafia. Pedestrians are arm-flailing bowling pins to them. For a group of self-proclaimed saviors of humanity, that in itself seems like a contradiction. But it takes us about five minutes to realize that we're going to have to work overtime to connect with any of the characters. Those familiar with Ryan Reynolds' work will perhaps relate to Gray, as he is basically playing himself. How is it possible to engage the audience if the main characters are as disposable as tissues? It's not. They are nameless even within their own circle, choosing to exist as numbers instead, dumping each other's lifeless bodies into the river without shedding a tear. The unnecessarily gory scenes, featuring smashed noses, a gelatinous eye dangling from a squishy optic nerve and harmoniously snapping bones, do little to drive the story forward. If anything, they seem to be a desperate embodiment of the belief that we simply can't look away from a car crash. The movie seems to follow in the footsteps of Zack Snyder's 2011 Sucker Punch. It knits the plot into a video game. There is no concrete goal that the characters are working towards. No single aim to justify their morally-dubious behaviour. Instead, we are gifted with countless villains, popping up at the same time. Again, 6 Underground seems to have adapted the materialistic approach. The more one-dimensional, cartoon-ish criminals, the better. What could save the film in the eyes of a selected few would be the explosive visuals and eye-catching cinematography. Like a beautifully designed video game providing surface-level engagement. Stupefying our senses. All in all, maybe skipping certain parts, like the story intervals interrupting an action-packed video game, would make it more bearable. Letting your thoughts race and hover somewhere above the television screen. Then again, I can't imagine a three-minute YouTube video failing to divert your attention from the flashing screen while 6 Underground is on.",1 "For me the venom movies are the best from marvel so far! If you loved the first you will like this one! For me it's best! Excellent story, actors, special effects, photography, direction, congratulations to all who were a part of this movie! The venom character gives an amazing touch!",9 "***May contain spoilers*** Where to begin? Hmm. OK, well, take away the CGI from this film and there is actually very little left: hackneyed plot, average acting and some utterly cringeworthy scenes. During one scene in particular (there were blue people waving their arms around in a crowd) my girlfriend and I actually burst out laughing in the cinema. From that scene onwards, any suspension of disbelief was suspended. I was so disappointed with James Cameron after seeing this. Frankly I expect much better. This film is probably OK for young people up to the age of ~18, and perhaps adults who are a little soft-headed, the rest shouldn't waste their time.",3 "Am I missing something? I love Bill Murray, and Scarlett Johanssen is maturing into one of the better new stars, with a delectably ""human"" shaped figure and expressive face. You have solid direction and cinematography displaying a tapestry of Japan's pop culture. Maybe it was a poor plot that failed to inspire. No, couldn't be that, because there was no plot to speak of. Without giving away whatever plot outline there was (because an actual plot was non existent), Bill Murray was the cliched rich guy who long ago settled in to a married life that was depressingly mundane at best. Scarlett Johanssen played the very bored, bright educated young woman who seems early on, to have surrendered any personal direction in life. Rather she chose treding time as an appendage to her vocationally preoccupied equally young husband. In short... a future divorce waiting to happen. These two environmentally alienated people meet in an unfamiliar environment and slowly grow on each other. It seems that neither can sleep, probably because deep down, they realize that life is ticking by like an old regulator clock with a broken chime. In some ways, you might say that Bill Murray's character sees Scarlett as the embryo of his present existence. Scarlett bonds to Murray for a taste of her own developing life drama. Yeah... so what. If you're a teenager with limited witnessed time on earth, all this might seem intriguing. But in fact, if you strip ""Lost in Translation"" of its Japanese environment and planted it in Chicago, or Atlanta, or Boise or anywhere else, it would be crashingly dull. Funny Part: The Japanese hooker. Earlier funny part: Long winded director of a whiskey commercial. Tasteful Theme: No gratuitous sex. When the film was over, my wife and myself scratched out head, because there really wasn't an ending in the true sense of the word. But then again, there wasn't a beginning or a middle either. For very good acting, direction and cinematography, I give Lost in Translation a generous 6 out of 10.",6 "After hearing much about the hyped up Argo, I wanted to go see it as soon as it premiered. To be honest, it wasn't a bad film, but it wasn't anything spectacular either. I tried watching it 2 more times from the comfort of my home, but I still wasn't very interested. Where the nominations come from, I dunno. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a bad film, I'm just trying to warn you, don't go in the theatre or pop the DVD in the player expecting to have your mind blown away. At any rate, I'm getting ahead of myself. The film is a portrayal of the events surrounding the storming of the American embassy in Iran back in the late 70's/early 80's by an angry mob and the hostage situation that ensued. The CIA are trying to find a way to save 6 of the embassy workers who managed to escape the embassy during its takeover and are hiding in the Canadian ambassador's residence. The CIA comes up with the plan of creating a fake film company that's looking to make a sci-fi flick in the iranian deserts as a cover for bringing the escapees back to the US as part of the film crew. The historical accuracy is quite good, and it shows that there was adequate research done prior to the film. The direction was also very good, as is the usual norm with Ben Affleck, whom I always respected as a director. The acting, cinematography, soundtrack are also quite excellent and the movie doesn't fall short of anything. Especially towards the end it manages to hold you on your seat with suspense and then cheer at the outcome. The problem with the movie is the hype. I do not feel that this movie deserves an 8.2 on IMDb nor the several nominations it has received. It's not a bad film, in fact it's quite enjoyable and performs well in every sector. However, it's still nothing spectacular. It doesn't make itself memorable. It doesn't provide anything of note to the viewer, it doesn't go much further than any other film. It's an average movie. I recommend it for everyone but, don't go in expecting to see the masterpiece of the year. You'll enjoy it as long as you forget about the praise the movie has received PRIOR to its release. Just watch it and you'll enjoy it. The movie is above average 6/10",6 "It isn't that it is a bad film but it isn't great. First, by taking spiderman out of new york it really diminishes the character. Half of spiderman's appeal is being a friendly neighborhood spiderman. Secondly, the bad guys here are all wrong. Spiderman is ill equipped to fight the ""elementals"" -- what is he going to do, web water to death? Nevermind the fact he can't fight too hard because his friends will see him in Europe which, happens at the end -- ugh. So the idea he was recruited for this mission was glaring. Mysterio was imho, bad. He had no real motivation other than a thin one the writers gave him and then, also, his plan made no sense. Apparently the plan is to fool the world into thinking he was a super hero. Well, what happens when a real super bad guy comes and or any old disaster at all? Nick Fury was utterly wasted here. Yes we find out later he might not be what he seems but the character was off the entire movie so that is uncomfortable. This movie was a first draft of a movie. Perhaps hastily put into production or left vague due to endgame. IMHO this was the first crack in the armor of Marvel. I think they are starting to buy their PR and thinking they can produce subpar work as long as it gets out there.",4 "Starts off very well, great character building and plot building through season 1, turns over ambitious in season 2, ultimately ends as a damp squib.",4 "Like many korean movies - this is flush with good actors and great visuals - but the story is twisted - at least there is a certain amount of sanity from the wealthy family - strangely enuf - while the desperately poor family at the heart of the film - are so depraved that i thought they deserved their station in life the first half of the film showed this miserable family displaying such skill and intelligence and adaptability - that it didn't seem possible they were the same people seen at the start of the film i quickly got bored waiting for the axe to fall - and their plans to go awry - but it took many dreary minutes for it to happen the second half was action filled - and tense - and chalk full of unexpected moments - if the story had moved more quickly to this part - i wouldn't be so down on the film but it didn't - it's 2 hrs 12 minutes - much of it in the accompaniment of unpleasant people - who don't all get what they deserved.",5 "Director's last name is selling this movie. Bill Murray was great, funny as usual. Scarlett Johansson was sweet, easy to fell inlove with.The location/scenery, Tokyo, Japan was amazing. Besides bill Murray's great acting there is nothing to this movie. Just one boring movie.I mean nothing really happened, So there is nothing to expect in this movie. At the end of the movie I came to realize that I was ""Lost in Translation"". I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, simply garbage!!!",6 "I think this is the only serial that I couldn't skip every scene for every seasons, had very good plots although sometimes it made me confused, and I had to rewind it. I'll wait for the fifth season.",9 Uri is a beautiful movie having amazing screenplay and cinematography. The acting vise movie is spectacular. The scenes look so auntentic. It is a complete package and a must watch.,10 "but I didn't think it was best picture material. A lot of movies have been made bout slavery and people acted like this was the first one. Of course, a movie about the subject is going to be good, but it's not an unique concept. And the girl that one the academy award wasn't on screen much and didn't do much. She had one big seen about her soap and that wins awards. I though the main guy, Solomon was really good and if any one should have won awards for acting it should have been him. And why did Brad Pitt have to cast himself as the one white guy against slavery, he just wanted to make himself look good. FINAL VERDICT: Not a must see, a good movie if you want to see something about a serious subject.",7 "The Outsider - C- (Disappointing) Highly disappointing result, first 2-3 episodes sets the tone right but after that it just goes off the rails. The show down plays the horror or frightening elements of the book. A book stretched to 10 episodes, then downplaying and cutting some of the scariest parts from book to make it look like a really slow tedious burn which finishes on very uncompelling dud. If you failed to create sense of horror from that Outsider in viewer you have failed big time as reading the book gave me chills but watching actors talking in monotone and whispering to create that eerie suspense gave me boredom.",2 "I've only watched the first episode of this anime so far, but I dislike it so much that I don't know if I can stomach another two episodes to give the ol' three episode try. The characterization so far is so blatantly the ""smart one"" and ""the dumb brute"" that it's pretty painful to watch - especially since they make sure to point this out every single time either of the characters open their mouths. Honestly, the whole episode would've been made better if no one talked at all, since nearly all the dialogue that wasn't explaining the science behind the solution was spent reiterating their character tropes again and again and again. And that's the only thing I can complement the show on so far: their science explanations. At least, when they put them in places that make sense. I'll probably try to watch the next two episodes at some point, just to see if it gets better, but I honestly have zero expectations.",2 To know all about Indian Army brave and their HIGH JOSH. You will also find that why Indian Army is the bravest among all army's around the world. Salute to their bravery JAI HIND.,9 It's like just mixing everything and making khichdi. Abhishek Bachchan is there for just one expression and it could have been better by any junior artists. Aditya Roy Kapoor as usal no acting skills. Rajkumar Rao overacting. Only positive is acting og Pankaj Tripathi but the story and plot is too bad to watch in this movie.,2 "When superheros become spoiled, entitled and corrupted...politics and conspiracy on a super level. Super good vs super evil...some are hopeful that good will prevail.",9 "I love the thought of a submissive guy with low self-esteem getting pulled back in time to create a different timeline as well as the gang aspect of the series. It could be a gem in anime. Note that I have only watched 9 episodes before reading more! My brief conclusion is that at times the series pulls you in, only to discourage you again with how shallow and illogical the story is overall. I feel like the need to move the plot in a certain direction pushes everything else of value aside except some good action scenes. If this show left me any message it would be to speak up for yourself and don't let other people trample on you. Specifically what made me lose interest was the inconsistency of the time travel aspect, that many of the characters personalities was lacking, the illogical reasoning of the main character, the unique take on what a society can look like with a biker gang of middle schoolers and the monkey dialogue at times. It also feels like a glorification of certain criminality and one could argue that the main character is a pedophile as well which doesn't really sit right with me. The show is literally pairing a 26 year old man in a 14 year old boy's body with a 14 year old girl who does not know. That is some high level deception right there! I will cap my watching at episode 9 because I simply do not enjoy the series enough and feel like no matter how good the following episodes are they can not lift this anime back on track. I only watched this far, because I held on to the concept.",4 "I missed this when it was first released. However, at the time I saw clips of the fights scenes and the slow mo bullet sequences and was duly impressed. What would i think of the film on first viewing almost 20 years later? I never lost interest during this film and I can see why it was such a huge hit in 1999. Its heartening when any highly stylised film which isn't utter base level bilge to take megabucks at the box office. But heres where The Matrix succeeds brilliantly. It offers mind blowing concepts- but isn't too deep. It offers striking visuals- which unfortunately quickly became de rigueur as many other films, commercials and pop videos copied this visual style. Not the fault of the filmmakers and as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Certain parts of the film feel like a comic book fans fapfest. The costumes assumed by the main protagonists would only be thought cool by basement dwelling geeks. Black PVC, long coats and clumpy boots- a cyberpunk's wet dream. Soo late 90s. But this film did dare to take to the masses something original and daring. It succeeded. Fair play especially in these times of stale remakes and turgid reboots. But don't try to interpret things too deeply. Beneath the surface isn't a whole lot of depth or substance. Precisely why it was so massive. The scene need the end where we learn that Neo really is 'the one' is one of the most bombastic, unintentionally hilarious sequences in modern cinema. I don't know if its pure cheese, genius or both. Which is noteworthy in itself. But for a film that tries to show us what the modern world is really like and what it revolves around I'll still stick with They Live. A film that accomplishes its mission statement with less gloss, has infinitely more depth, substance and charm and does so on a substantially smaller budget than The Matrix.",5 "This was a great show for seasons one and two and is highly recommended. Don't bother with season three - its awful. It's not funny anymore, the writing is terrible for season three. In seasons one and two, you feel like they're actually at a college. For season three, that feeling is lost. Season three stories have minimal plot. Any story in season three focusing on Abed is especially bad. His character is not very interesting, and painful to watch for extended periods. The cast has been excellent throughout, too bad they have no material to work with for season three.",4 No. This is not a good Venom movie. It's 87 minutes of stuff happening that you won't remember a day later.,1 "J.C. Chandor's A Most Violent Year takes place in 1981 New York City – the year New York suffered more murders than in any other. Without knowing a thing about A Most Violent Year, I looked forward to a police procedural or a mafia thriller, dealing with the homicidal apex to the desperation of the recession of 1980. But I was wrong. Very wrong. Oscar Isaac plays Abel Morales, owner of a New York fuel oil company, in the midst of purchasing property along the East River which would position his company as a major player in the regional fuel oil market. Simultaneously, a rival firm is attacking Morales' truck drivers and stealing their fuel. Morales' wife, Anna, is descended from a mafia family, and she offers their assistance. But Abel Morales is a good and decent businessman, and he resists. At first. As the driver attacks amplify, Morales' salesmen and even his family are soon targeted by the rival businessmen. Meanwhile, an assistant district attorney, played by David Oyelowo of ""Selma,"" is investigating corruption in the local fuel oil industry, including Morales' firm. And the deal to purchase the East River property becomes dubious when his bank backs out of financing it. All this is set against the backdrop of the 1981 New York murders. The murders themselves are not the story, but we hear about them anytime one of the characters turns on a radio. Now this set-up may sound like a glorified TV movie, but A Most Violent Year is so much more. As the tension in Morales' life builds, director Chandor draws us into the story the way Martin Scorsese does. We find ourselves pulling for an honest businessman in an increasingly dishonest world. We wonder how long it will take until he involves his wife's mafia family – or worse, takes matters into his own hands. This could be a story about one man's downward spiral, but with a resolution that will surprise and delight you. And you'll love the thrill ride along the way – culminating in a chase scene through the bowels of New York's subway and rail systems. It's as riveting as Gene Hackman's chase scene in The French Connection. The performances are top-notch, beginning with relative newcomer Oscar Isaac in the lead role. A year ago, he played a folk singer in the Coen Brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis, a small, above-average picture which got buried in the onslaught of excellent films released at the end of 2013. Isaac really shines here. He should have received a Best Actor nod, but I'm sure his day is coming. Coincidentally, Isaac is slated to appear in the new Star Wars picture, which hits theatres next fall. Jessica Chastain is also excellent as Morales' wife – a decent-hearted lady who wishes her husband were a little more daring in his business dealings. Her character is more than the standard ""wife"" character we've seen many times before. She's intimately involved in the business, and she's not afraid to stand up to adversaries. An almost unidentifiable Albert Brooks plays Morales' lawyer Andrew, again intimately involved in the business, but more than just the ""straight man"" character we've seen before. And I love how Chandor's script allows us to become acquainted with various characters in Morales' life and in his business – a truck driver and his wife, a salesman, the teamster boss who pushes for Morales to arm his drivers, a couple of Morales' business competitors, and so forth. Each character is well-drawn, and serves an important role in this supremely interesting story. I also like the look of this picture. It's a bit of a modern-day film noir, cast in dimly-lit interiors, with characters who speak in hushed tones about important matters, occasionally bursting into the sunny yet unpredictable and unnerving outside world. The only thing I didn't like about A Most Violent Year is its title. Much as the 1987 film Dirty Dancing had nothing to do with pole dancers at strip clubs, A Most Violent Year has nothing to do with violence, per se. In fact, I don't really understand what necessitated placing the story in 1981. The fact that New York's murder rate peaked that year is immaterial to the story. A Most Violent Year is going to be a sleeper amongst Oscar contenders like Birdman, Selma, The Theory Of Everything, and others. But it's well worth a look. They don't make movies like this much anymore, and I'm glad J.C. Chandor has. It's one of this year's best films.",9 "Expected great things from the previews and was terribly disappointed. The story is dull. The characters are uninteresting. Walked out 1 hour in. Dear Sam Mendes, you owe me 30 bucks....",4 It got 6.9 ratings.. Bcoz of stupid indian viewer.. Don't waste your eye power... U're gonna puke watchin it...,1 "Sad to see such a good topic is taken down the road of love triangle. I mean UPSC is the toughest exam probably in Asia and all you had to show was a love triangle. There were so many plots possible like preparation stress, motivation, suicidal issues, societal perspective on those who are not able to clear exam and you ended up with love story. Wish you had shown some more respect to the exam and students who are currently working on the same.",6 "Bottle Rocket, Wes Anderson's debut film, was a comic delight. Since then, most of his films have left me unimpressed or disappointed. He has resorted to quirkiness and deadpan dialog increasingly. While I found ""The Royal Tenenbaums"" at least watchable, as was ""Rushmore"", (though neither worth recommending), ""Moonrise Kingdom"" and now ""The Grand Budapest Hotel"" are examples of a director who is so consumed with his style, that the story takes a back seat. All the dialog sounds like it came from the same person. As others have noted, like the naked emperor, Anderson wants you to notice how cute he can be, with centered shots that have characters emerging from a hole one at a time from each of four 90 degree angles. Ha Ha Ha! But despite this being a comedy of sorts, laughs from the audience I was in were few and far between. I gave the film 2 stars, mainly because the sets were so pretty to look at, but like this film and Moonrise Kingdom, they were simply facades, with little substance beyond the surface appearance.",2 "The 5th episode of TVF Aspirants just got released and here's my review. The Music: The background score till episode 4 was same in all situations but that changed in episode 5. However, the idea to use Dhagga as background score by Niptolal Bopara was an amazing great decision and the creators need to be applauded for it. Use of same background score till episode 4 is a little irritating at times. Also, the poems in episode 5 were a little over the top and could have been better. The promotions: Continous Unacademy promotions are really erratic and cause great repungance. In my opinion, the promotions could have been could have been more subltle. The performances: You know what they say about the performances ""Abhilash is a story but Sandeep Bhaiya is an emotion"". Abhilash played by Naveen Kasturia and Sandeep Bhaiya played by Hinduja Sumny were amazing characters that made us laugh and cry. However, SK played by Abhilash Thapliyal was hammy and feigned the dialogues at moments. The Writing: Its just amazing to see how the creators know the pulse of the people so well. Comparing a real life situation to Tom and Jerry and not sounding cliche tells us that the writers are a class apart. The writing primarily followed a wave pattern, happy moments at the crust and sad moments at the trough. The happy and sad moments were alternate and the writing didn't make that obvious. The lighting and Cinematography: In no way I can complaint about the cinematography but the lighting is a little contrasting in some scenes especially in episode 5. You don't use a blue baby light when the room is warm and the protagonist in the scene is appears vulnerable. The lighting also confuses you at times and fails to express the true emotions of the writer. Anyways please go and binge TVF Aspirants, its worth your time. The show accurately depicts the purpise of many aspirants like Sandeep Bhaiya, who don't want to be a burden on their parents and wanna be successful asap.",7 "I watched this show many years after its original release date. Avatar:TLA is for sure a show that everyone has to watch at least once. It doesn't matter that you are a child, a teenager, or an adult because it won't fail you at all. from the great world and character design to the narration of a story that was told many times in different forms, from the great characters that you'll love and care for to the amazing music that is your companion throughout the show, from the great battle scenes that couldn't be better than they are to the lovely humor, which is impossible to not make you laugh, this show presents things that you'll never forget. The only problem I found in it, for which I gave it a 9/10, was the fact that if this kind of potential of storytelling and backstories could have been narrated in a more intense way, that show would probably have been the best of all time for me. (which is acceptable why it isn't.)",9 "The masculine maudlin cliché of the assassin as sad samurai; the loneliness of the stone-cold killer. This Hollywood trope actually does have its long-ago inspiration in Kurosawa's samurai films, but those guys killed with savage style and skill-restraint, dignity, finesse. The American ""action"" film is a sloppy slaughter orgy (the gun is partly to blame) designed to jolt the adrenaline of the modern couch potato who is not getting any action in any sense of the word. The tradition to which ""John Wick"" belongs is one of Western male self-pity and revenge fantasy. ""She/he/it/they made me do it"" becomes the trigger for spasms of cathartic mayhem, possibly the kind of righteous release mass shooters seek IRL, if they know the difference from movies. All I wanted to say was paragraph 1, I had to work to meet the character limit.",3 "You cannot help feel unmoved by this movie. The perpetual violence dulls the mind to the point that the story becomes boring and perhaps is mostly made up. Anyone with bad experiences will exaggerate those experiences, especially if it is for commercial gain. I came away from this movie unimpressed. We all know slavery is bad so why try and make us guilty of it. It belongs to a different era with different ideals that we cannot contemplate. So if this movie is meant to shock me or profound me then it has not. Far from it. Perhaps the movie should be about the real protagonists, those behind the buying and selling of slaves in USA. They were most definitely not of Christian faith as is always portrayed by Hollywood.",2 "I can't put my finger on it, something is just missing with this show... Also, I can't get past the red noses on everyone.",6 "Perhaps my expectations were already tempered by all the complaints I'd heard about this series. I'm not really sure why they were complaining so much. It's interesting enough to keep you watching, but not to the point that I'm dying for season 2. I'd say this is better than falcon & winter solider, but not as good as wandavision.",7 Still this movie hits me whenever i watch.... This movie always inspire me to love my homeland so much....Thanks to the entire film crew for this wonderful master class....Thank you SRK ❤❤❤❤ for this wonderful acting....Every time i watch this movie gives me goosebumps....Lots of love to SRK from Nepal ❤❤❤❤.... 10/10,10 "Okay maybe it was a 9.5 because of two flaws: First was the Will Ferrell character and his board that made their point but then became superfluos. Second was that it is definitely not a kids' movie (although maybe they would see things that I didn't - I mean to be fair, the few kids in the theatre were well behaved so perhaps the movie got their full attention as well). But why did I enjoy it? Simply amazing visuals, Margot Robbie looked flawlessly gorgeous and played it perfectly. Ryan Gosling was also brilliant in this. Great music, great pacing and then there was the script. There were a lot of messages in this film that trod a tightrope between pithy, ironic, sarcastic and cliched. But I reckon they just about managed it which, considering the subject matter, was quite an accomplishment. I will need to see it a second time to check whether the messages were balanced and as meaningful as they were meant to be but I hope that women were as upbeat about it as i was. Overall, on an enjoyment level alone, it deserves its high score from me.",10 "I've seen a lot of posts in VK about ""The End Of This F***g World"". I thought it would be typical TV-Series for teenage girls, who want to be not like anyone else. And I didn't expected anything serious from this project. It was one of many Netflix projects. But its difference is that it is based on comic book by Charles Forsman. This TV-Series shows the whole plot of the comic book, with some extra storylines, which were not in the book, but were designed for the TV-Series. ""The End Of This F***g World"" is about two teenagers, outcasts. James is psychopath, who killed little animals during his childhood, and he wants to kill a person. He chooses Alyssa, a girl, who lives with mother, who doesn't care about her problems and step-father, who loves to make fun of her. Alyssa fell in love with James and they escape from their little town. They want to explore the world and find real Alyssa's father. The cast is not consist of well-known British actors, but everyone played very well their part. The main heroes were not so annoying in the middle of the TV-Series, and in the end I understood why they had become who they are. Thanks to awesome plot (original comic book and work of screenwriter Charlie Covell) and acting, of course. Alex Lawther who played James and Jessica Barden who played Alyssa were brilliant. I had a crush on Alex Lawther and watched ""Black Mirror"" with him, where he played mentally ill sociopathic weirdo, who really looks like James. After I watched first two episodes I wanted to skip this franchise. Because main characters were so annoying and I really do not understand motives of their behavior. But the plot was something to keep me going. Despite the fact, that main heroes were young rebellions, typical ""couple against the whole society"", I wanted to know what will happen to these young Bonnie and Clyde. And they met different interesting people during their way. And these meetings have serious affection on their personalities and view on life. As you can see, this TV-serious includes different genres, such as: road movie, black comedy and teenage drama. And adventures of this young rebellions are accompanied by wonderful soundtrack by Graham Coxon and different musicians from 50th and 60th. It creates amazing atmosphere. Also, when I write it, ""In My Room"" by Graham Coxon is playing on the background 😊 The worst thing about this TV-Series is showing mental diseases as something romantic. Psychopaths are people who are dangerous for society, and they hardly rarely are cute boys. And, as I had already said, in the beginning the main characters are annoying. First two series are like ""bouncers in a night club"". But the main characters are developing and changing during the plot, and in the end of the season you will love them or hate. Also, the length of this TV-series is convenient - two and a half hours only. It is one of the reasons why I didn't give it up. Besides the development of the plot. And I would recommend ""The End Of This F***g World"" for the people who have free evening and don't know what to do. If the plot interests you, you will wait for the new season on 5th of November like me!",8 "The most overrated Batman movie ever. It's OK, but it gets the Highway guess because he's ledger died. Is joker is not Adam Jack Nicholson. Christian Bale is not a better Batman than Michael Keaton. I didn't really like these movies, eight phallic action movies as opposed to superhero movies. Bale's growl is hilarious.",3 "man ... woh... can such a movie be made in India ?? this movie starts with a special thanks to Danny Boyle and ends with the same hope and happiness that i felt with slumdog. Anurag kashyap has once again created a masterpiece after Black Friday. As i remember , i was too scared after watching Black Friday , and after watching Dev D , i love the movie , not just the ending , but each and every minute of it. It is so visually gripping , dialogues are so natural , a first for Bollywood I am glad that Anurag Kashyap has made this movie... a masterpiece",10 "The movie is so good that it will keep you involved the whole time. The theme the dark comedy and timing by Pankaj Tripathi was the best. Also the child artist with Abhishek Bacchan was worth noticing. Sanya Malhotra,Rajkumaar and Aditya Roy Kapoor nailed it. Abhishek Bacchan was also good and was better than expectation. Overall a good movie and worth the Euphoria going along with it.",8 "There are plot-driven movies and there are character-driven movies. Pulp Fiction is a dialogue-driven movie. It's the typical Tarantino-esque, endless, random dialogue that has little to do with the plot, but produces an incredible amount of memorable quotes and killer punchlines. Conversation topics include, among others, foot massage, burgers, the metric system, awkward silence, analysis of the Bible, which animals are filthy and which are dirty. After all, Pulp Fiction is a dark comedy as much as it is a crime thriller - and that is evident in the dialogues, but in the plot as well. Dealing with unfinished business and being interrupted by a divine intervention, match fixing gone wrong and finding a lost watch, a date with the boss's wife ending with an accidental overdose, a change of professional plans that involves robbing restaurant. The stories themselves aren't that interesting, but the characters always find a unique way to get in a bizarre turn of events that quickly goes out of their control. And of course it's the storytelling that elevates everything to the next level. Even though they are only loosely tied, the structure of the movie and the non-linear narrative makes them blend into each other nicely and it all flows so very smoothly. The casting is on point with an abundance of great performances that bring each character to life - of course the aforementioned dialogues help tremendously in that regard as well. Samuel L. Jackson is the obvious highlight, followed closely by Uma Thurman, who effortlessly steals every scene she's in and John Travolta, who makes quite the comeback. It's no coincidence that the parts those three were involved were the most engaging. And of course the soundtrack is absolutely legendary.",6 "Not usually a fan of superhero shows because the stories they tell most always need a movies high budget to get the job done, but Loki is different. I can't imagine what Disney has spent producing this show, but it was definitely worth it. Everything from the special effects to the A list actors makes this a truly remarkable experience. I'm very much looking forward to how it all plays out. Highly recommend, even if you aren't a superhero fan!",9 "Watched the last episode of season 3 in 10 minutes, fast forwarding all the time because of boring dialogues and slow scenes that do not make any sense to me. This is a perfect example of how a great show in its first season can end up so disappointing just because some people who scripted season 3 probably did not have any idea about the previous seasons. The name of the show is ""The Witcher"" but he himself is hardly in the center of the storyline in season 3. Everyone is looking for Ciri with Geralt seeming like a side character. All this waiting for season 3 was in vain and seeing Henry Cavill leave the show like this is truly sad.",3 "With all the fuss going on about this movie I must admit it had set a high mark for me before I went to see it. And don't get me wrong; it is not a bad movie. Especially the technical achievements and unique approach make it worthwhile. But at several points it left me with the feeling that it was very forced in order to add drama. For example the Germans are as good with a gun as a stormtrooper. And the amount of corpses that have to be crawled through that could be avoided is at points hilarious (for example the river scene). I also didn't bond as much with the main characters because you learn virtually nothing about them. And that is something that for me really diminished the dramatic effect. If you had to pick, I would recommend going to Jojo Rabbit instead. A very different movie, but with more depth.",7 "This ""Prequel"" to Silence of The Lambs got off to an okay start, but quickly revealed itself to be nothing but bad, formulaic dialog and excessive gore. The series steals line after line after line of comments made in the movies that supposedly follow years after the series took place. And the show has the police acting like the most horrendous crimes of murder and dismemberment happen every week. If there was a real life Chesapeake Ripper like in the series, on the loose and killing for so long, the entire region would be living in terror just like Atlanta when Wayne Williams was killing all those kids. Yet this is not depicted in the show. Hannibal has deeply disappointed me.",3 "I was dismissive of this movie too back in the day. It's credits were not auspicious; Another dose of Knocked up or the 40 year old virgin? Hard pass. But giving this a fair try it's not half bad. There's a pacy plot as these boys race against time to get the sweet, sweet ethanol and at its heart it is a tribute to friendship and the pains of growing up. Is it ever laugh out loud funny? Of course not. There aren't even any jokes. But there is a bunch of crazy hijinks presented with panache. You have to just learn to love the vulgarity so I would generally suggest watching alone or with very specific company, not because it's repellent but just because it gets excruciating. Cena is, like always, a delight to watch.",6 "Good movie All should watch it and learn from it every deprived person need opportunity. All characters perform well and Nagarj is always show the fact of the society which force us to think and improve our social act.",10 "This is pretty much 2+ hour long video ad for the Indian Army, they need new recruits. Watch only if you like good action scenes, and great production values, because the story itself has many holes and many times is plain STUPID. Terrible child actor, they could have found one that knows how to act and can shed at least one tear when she ""cries"". The main actor has the same stone face during almost the entire film. Cheesy sentimental scenes, and hard to believe action where nearly a hundred terrorists are killed and not even ONE commando dies, after being shot thousands of times. A lot of Indian national pride in the movie and in the audience, with mostly Indian natives, probably quite biased to vote high for this film, but in reality it only shows that Bollywood is doing the same than Hollywood (or viceversa?), spending lots of money in a production but only 10 cents in the storyline - this is a super interesting subject and production budget that deserved a much better writing. Go only if you want good action as entertainment",6 "I love 'The Godfather Part II' and gave it an 8/10. The acting, especially Al Pacino's chilling transformation as Michael Corleone and Robert De Niro's captivating portrayal of young Vito Corleone, was a masterclass in character depth. The music, woven with Nino Rota's timeless score, added layers of emotion. Casting choices remained impeccable, and the cinematography painted a vivid portrait of contrasting eras. Francis Ford Coppola's directing skillfully intertwined past and present, crafting a narrative tapestry that explored the price of power. The writing, while rich in complexity, occasionally meandered in its storytelling. The film's strength lies in its exploration of the Corleone legacy, but it occasionally felt burdened by the high expectations set by its predecessor. 'The Godfather Part II' stands as a towering achievement in cinema, exemplifying the art of storytelling through family, power, and legacy.",8 "A solid sequel to Kung fu panda. The visuals again steal the show, the animation is stunning, the color palette and styles are a whole vibe. The storyline is well developed and brings in a good mix of new characters.",7 "The film is incredibly generic and predictable, a saving grace is the dynamic between Eddie Brock and Venom. Every other character in this film was bland and had nothing to offer for me, and incredible waste in the talents of Riz Ahmed and Michelle Williams. Tom Hardy will always have an incredible screen presence and people will definitely enjoy this. It's by no means Catwoman level of bad, or does it deserve a 28% (or whatever it is) on Rotten Tomatoes. However it doesn't deserve to be put on any kind of pedestal for an achievement in film making either. Summary: Go see the movie, there is fun to be had here, just don't expect MCU level of balanced action/comedy and world building.",3 "Just one of the best teenage comedies ever made! Really really really funny. If you didn't watched it yet find a way to see it as soon as possible. Really smart jokes and really fun ones. Be prepared to laugh out loud. For the people who is aged +45 years old, we clearly can see in the user ratings report that this is not a really good movie for them. Teens tend more to like this film because its all around them. Drinking partying and we can't forget a lot but a lot of laughs. If you are a teenager you'll really like this movie. I know I'm getting repetitious but I'm not lying when I say that this film is REALLY REALLY FUNNY!!!!",8 "Disgusted DISNEY , i find to revive the Swasticker is offensive.",1 "This is movie #4 as I watch and review the 10 best picture candidates of 2024. The movie was advertised as a comedy and there is indeed some comedy but it's not overt. There is more drama and various serious issues are sprinkled in through out the movie. There is satire and there is a message. It was a bit hard to switch from thinking serious to comedic to thoughtful. In the end I did get the message, but I don't think the movie on a whole was as meaningful as I have it talked about by others. The ending was a bit muddled for me but interesting. Much of the six stars I gave it come from Jeffrey Wright's performance. He indeed belongs in the best actor category for this movie and the movie is worth watching just to see his performance. I will go as far to say if any other actor was cast in this role I may not have liked it at all.",6 "Literally the worst most un-entertaining film I've ever seen...the only reason I give it a 2 is because the acting was decent. The whole story was literally the most cliche love story I could've written drunk in my sleep. I felt bad because my whole family wanted me to sit down and watch it with them because they apparently love it...it was PAINFUL to watch. Like painful painful. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone falling in love in a cheesy musical? I mean...go the whole nine...plant a pumpkin spice latte in a ugg boot, water it with vodka..cry to this movie with a gallon of ice cream on your lap and call it a basic white girl why dontcha. SUPER drawn out too...I've never even taken the time to write a review for a movie I LIKED. Let alone one I don't. Please don't waste over 2 hours of your life. The length of this review is literally longer than the plot.",2 "The movie is nothing more than a bunch of unfunny, dumbed-down gags, gratuitous, cruel violence amid uninteresting, non-beautiful ""martial"" sequences. I had to leave halfway. The movie is made deliberately badly, which is probably the worst sin I can think of in this business. The only reason I gave it 2 and not 1 star is relatively good camera work. Stay away. Comparison with Jackie Chun, Buster Keaton or Quentin Tarantino give this movie way too much credit. It does not even qualify as slapstick. It's a ""Dumb and Dumberer""-type comedy. You have been warned.",2 "The Faberge Egg: A thing of undoubted beauty, extremely costly but serving no real purpose. So it is with The Shape of Water. Constantly Guillermo del Toro leaves me disappointed. Pan's Labrynth especially and now this much hyped 'masterpiece'. Both miss the target by some distance for me. (I'll give you, he nailed it in both Cronos - a long time ago now - and Hellboy.) There's much to like about The Shape of Water (but NOT the music which is standard fare and I'm puzzled as to why it won the BAFTA). The design is superb, it really is a sumptuous feast both in period detail, cinematography and mood and the sets are great. Sally Hawkins is fine in the role of a mute who falls in love with a fishy 'monster' but why, oh why, does she need to get full frontal naked and masturbate in her bath in the opening scenes of the movie. Wholly gratuitous. Octavia Spencer puts in a decent shift in the supporting female role but, oh my gosh, this is not an Oscar-worthy performance. (Exactly the same can be said about the mystifying nomination for Mary J. Blige in Mudbound - I'll leave you to your own conclusions on why these were Academy nominated.) Both the male leads are on form; Michael Shannon as the nasty finder and torturer of the fish man and Richard Jenkins as Hawkins' neighbourly friend and the narrator; an alcoholic, cat-loving, adman fallen on hard times. My biggest criticism lies with the script, or more correctly, the plot which has holes the size of the budget (actually, on checking it was only $19.4m, so my Faberge analogy is stretched a little. Author's note: Faberge Eggs sell from around $6m to $33m.) OK it's a fantasy movie but it's pretty silly really and stretches credibility throughout. I wanted to like this, I really did and I don't dislike it, it's just so fundamentally flawed that its 13 Oscar nods verge on ludicrous. I don't think it will take home more than three (I wouldn't give it any with a possible exception for design) - Best Movie most certainly should not be one of them.",5 "This is my 1st ever Anime Series which I have watched in English Audio.If I'd like to tell in just a Single line regarding this whole series, then It'll be= ""Super Smart Investigation Drama with Cat-Mouse-Game"" It's just a Finest and Brilliant Script written by it's writer and also the Director did a Finest Job here..The Voiceover is pretty good in English and just keeps us all engaging towards it. Coming into my analysis.... Death Note is a series which always keeps ahead of the watchers, and no-one can predict what is going to happen next. A Wonderful concept like in Hindu Religion Yamraj's (God of Death) Notebook drop into Earth and then how humans use it to get benefitted from it! The main thing focused here in this entire series is 'Justice',which is definitely different in every persons prospectives. But I would say The Ending of the Series is Just goddamn Perfect. It have to be Like this! Because whenever humans get some Supernatural Extraordinary Powers, Sooner or Later they're gonna use it Like their own Choices (or At their Point of Views).They can't be Stick into the Holy path, because killing someone is definitely a sure-shot crime, whether it's a criminal or whatever! So here I will surely giving a Big Applause to the Writers of this Series.. The Second half (especially after 25th episode) the show became little bit slow and new characters were introduced to us, which is just a little bit boring part for some of it's users but it will again hold it's fast screenplay and storyline very soon... I will go with 9 Out of 10 Stars for sure, because this series not only entertained me very much but also gived me very High Morals. Just reduced 1 star because of that later half's slowness, otherwise A Masterpiece to Watch. Definitely Recommending to everyone. You can watch it with family as well, because it doesn't have any kind of parental guidance or heavy graphic violence type things.",9 Snoozefest. Save your money. This writing is bad. The acting is bad. The music is bad. The story is pure fantasy.. and bad.,1 "The only good thing about this movie is cinematography, colors and scenes are amazing, everything else sucks.",4 "Tooo long Tooo much like 2001 Add a bit of event Horizon Dark star Black hole Armageddon Space 1999 Star trekking.... The one. With god All that was missing was Bruce Willis and batman, sorry Alfred did appeared Enjoyed it trough far to many plagiarism's Expected something better than space, that was really dull Gravity wasn't strong enough Lost in space was more dynamic and scientifically more inaccurate HAL2000 unit. Robbie the robot was missing. Needed a Panama airplane somewhere Kubrick did film The Apollo Moon landings Where was room 237?",6 "This movie is a flashy, shallow, insult to you intelligence. The character development is terrible. The ""Four Horsemen"", one of which is a woman, fell more like game show hosts. Not one of them has any depth. Others purpose seems to be constantly confused and out of control. At least one of the main character serves no purpose at all in the movie. The plot seems as if they made if up as they went along. The plot twists are clumsy and explained by rewriting previous events and adding convenient details. Magic tricks are explained with the same revisionary manner and often ignore conflicting events. The title referring to a game you play with infants was accurate. Now You See Me is flashy and will appeal to people who like shiny things, but will ultimately insult anyone who looks beyond the bangles.",3 "I found myself alone, lonely, depressed. My girlfriend left me and I needed a movie to cheer me up. I searched the internet for a comedy film and I found that 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' was rated highly. I purchased the DVD and it arrived within 48 hours. Boy, was I happy to receive a comedy movie. I couldn't wait for the movie to begin making me smile. It didn't. The movie starts out showing the main character naked. Completely, naked. You see his genitalia which I can assure you - was not a nice sight. There's a reason most movies don't include scenes like that - because it's not appealing, not necessary and most certainly not funny. The movie's plot was basically: guy loves girl, girl cheats, guy finds another girl, messes up. The end. The movie is 1 hr 15 mins long - and even that felt like too much. Russell Brand, whilst he tried, came across as a bland, boring character and Jonah Hill (who played the waiter) couldn't even out this mess of a movie. With an unnecessary shock-scene in the beginning, atrocious storyline, poor dialogue and lack of pace, this movie gets a 1/10 from me. If it wasn't for Russell and Jonah, this movie would be a 0/10 (if I could rate it so low). Bottom line: Don't rent it, don't watch it. It's trash. If you ignore my message, then all I can say is: I told you so. Thanks for reading. Now I'm going to try find another comedy to cheer me up, because this movie didn't.",1 "This movie has dazzling effects and action, but I'm sorry, I can't help but be annoyed by how stupid Peter has become, how even more bitchy Mary Jane has come, and how idiotic Harry is thinking that just because Peter takes pictures of Spider-Man, automatically means that Peter knows who Spider-Man is. It also doesn't help that Spider-Man's powers disappear for no realistic biological reason. I can't believe people just gloss over these flaws. 3/10",3 "So much has been said on the latest instalment of the revitalised Batman franchise, dead stars, posthumous Oscars, arrests at premiers, will it lead to a rise in knife crime? Etc. but the only relevant question is it any good? Well Hamlet this is not so all those five star reviews and people intent on gushing all over it can calm down. Yes its dark, yes Batman is plagued by his demons, yes Heath is great, it's not comparable to Michael Mann's Heat, when all is said and done this is an OK superhero movie but considering it cost $185 million its hard to see where all that money has been spent. From a bank heist beginning that meanders to a pointless appearance of the Scarecrow to Bale flying on to the screen it seems to push all the right buttons and at the point that the Joker does his magic trick you could still be forgiven for thinking this is a five star visual feast. But unfortunately the set up doesn't really lead anywhere, there are no set pieces and at times it is even incoherent in its plot which could be from trying to cram too much information in an already overlong film. The twists, yes there are a few, are boringly obvious and I'm really not sure what happens to Bruce Wayne's voice when he dons the Batsuit but it changes to sound like a sort of vaudevillian heavy breather. That said Heath did make me laugh, he is not the most iconic screen bad guy since Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet, but he is good and the supporting cast all put in fine performances. The musical style has been borrowed from a Michael Mann film and the direction is brilliant in parts but as a whole it doesn't seem to gel together. Ironically the Jokers catch phrase is 'why so serious?' And if all involved had maybe listened to him and not be so serious, pretentious even then it may have been a much better film all round. Worth watching but not, as according to the IMDb, the greatest film of all time.",5 "I thought this movie had lot a history in it. It made it funnier for the audience to watch and the way he survived and excelled in each of the obstacle was amazing but the stars it got out of 10 was the real reason to watch this movie. As the movie progressed, the story kept of circulating on forest. It clearly had much of the history in it and the movie is gigantic in scale but i found this movie not that attractive as described. The 7 is due to the gigantic portion of the movie not due to the acting. I guess people like war and things like that therefore it managed that much stardom. The movie could have gave some shade to another artist as well not much but as supporting effort.",7 "Movie feels phoned in and has obvious pacing issues. You go in needing to know at least part of the backstory of every character, which isn't necessary for Brock/Venom at this point. Things seem to occur erratically, attempt to build suspense or drama in some parts and then are completely irrelevant or negated a scene or two later. Anne's return felt like fan service with her hosting Venom for a short duration. Pretty flat script, nothing creative or amazing. Felt like Toby-man 3. Suffering from cramming too much into a script that produced a 90 min film. Not better than the first, and not making the MCU movies sweat at all. Sony needs to just lease out their IPs to Marvel and sit back and collect a check. Tired of this PG-13 garbage with Rated R characters.",3 This is a spectacular film. Cinematically beautiful and well crafted. Unfortunately the plot lacked the payoff in progressing the overall franchise. If anything it felt like a gap filler. Performances were what you would expect from an A list cast. So all up great to look at but lacked the impact of the first film. Hopefully better still to come!,7 "I found the fundamental conflict here very confusing. It's about whether the Avengers should be bound to international legislation. The international community has already voted yes. If Avengers say no, they are in breach of international law. If they say yes, they are not. Obviously they should say yes, because if the international community asked them to do something they didn't want to do, they could still refuse and breach the law. The question is just should we decide right now to breach the law, or wait until a problem comes up?",6 "Attack on Titan grips you from its first episode and continues to surprise you as it moves on. It has a large roster of characters who are developed throughout the entire series, but the focus are the three friends; Eren, Armin and Mikasa. The story follows their journey fighting in the last resistance against the nightmarish creatures called Titans who have literally devoured the majority of mankind and pushed them to extinction. Attack on Titan gets really epic at certain moments. Couple that with the best soundtrack I've heard in an anime, and this series gets the adrenaline pumping. The action sequences are lengthy and well made, mixing traditional 2D animation with 3D CGI. Overall animation is solid throughout, and really beautiful at times. My only complain is that at certain times the pace of the story comes to a crawl. But its well made up for later on, so its nothing serious by any means. This is an easy recommendation to anyone remotely interested in anime's but I strongly suggest this to one's who are NOT into anime. If this series doesn't appeal you, then no anime will.",9 "2 stars for a few laughs at stupidity of the script, but otherwise not sure what the value of this movie may be ...",2 "If you are Indian you can easily relate to this movie.For those who are not, this movie is about the surgical strike carried out by Indian army on terrorist launchpads(Place where terrorists get training and they have like huge amount of guns and ammo stored.) situated in Pakistan occupied Kashmir.The strike was carried out as result of recent attacks on Indian army camp in Uri. I like the way in which director portrayed the movie in parts, these parts will help you to get the context of movie easily. Along with strike the movie show the life of army man and their family. How they feel after one of their dies in war. MUST WATCH.",9 "This might be considered pretty good in India. I don't know. But I found most of the story disconcerting and kind of annoying (I mean really , how much do people really say motherf*r? Not this much! The translation may not be doing it justice. But it's super-annoying to watch, particularly season 2.",5 "Spiderman 2 was a fantastic and exhilerating movie. It has all the thrills and chills that movie viewers are looking for. The action and CGI is fantastic. Where this movie is different than all other comic book movies is that it dwells deeper into the conflict that super heroes go through trying to balance both a regular life and being a super hero. The sacrifices that have to be made to save people's lives. People can relate and sypathize with the character of Peter Parker as well. You actually feel for the characters in this movie. Go and see this movie, not once but twice. I give it a 10 out of 10. Also, to those who feel this movie is a 1, what were you on?",10 A nice movie with great acting from Sandra Bullock and the rest of the cast. Gives you a nice chilled feeling from the begging till the end. The only reason I put 7/10 is because of some plot holes and the many questions they create.,7 "Leaving 2 🌟 to manage expectations, because this isn't LOTR. In fact, the entire premise of the show is based on a stupid blunder (think Jackass level) from 2 characters that have been portrayed in film as extremely clever. In this movie though, you have Dr Strange (who had previously seen every outcome in every timeline) and Spidey (who is in most versions a borderline genius), attempt world changing spell as mere afterthought. Thereafter, in another cringe worthy turn, Spidey decides he's allowed to make things worse. At this point, Disney seems to clearly be moving away from character development and plot driven scripts to setting up next sequel in their mega franchise MCU (next Dr Strange, in this case). Please stop getting greedy Disney, there's so much good source material to tell good stories. 2 duds like this and The Eternals back to back, suddenly DC is looking better. TBH, not a terrible movie, but definitely not a classic in the vein of LOTR.",2 "Should have known when it got the academy award for best picture it would be disappointing. I really enjoyed Bong Joon-ho's Memories of a Murder and Mother. Unfortunately in this movie there was no character development and the characters were just stereotyped cliches. The less fortunate family was just a pack of sociopathic dirt bags and the well off family was laughable with its disinterested father, pretentious and anxious mother, the spoiled son who runs riot pretending to be a Native American as he preys on the house maid with his bow and arrow set, and finally the moody, withdrawn awkward daughter. The only character with any spark is the previous housemaid. The story plods along in predictable fashion with an ending without redemption or closure for any of these pathetic souls. For an academy award winner there were so many silly and unbelievable scenes where things magically disappeared from one scene to the next. Most notably, how the hell did the son in the less fortunate family get that rock back after his misfortune? See the movie and you'll see how ridiculous that is. The Morse code nonsense was tied together poorly and with little purpose. Movie ran out of steam at the end with nothing happening to leave the audience satisfied or even thinking about what just happened.",4 Just a silly American movie for young crowds. Good visuals. Sound is not as impressive as it could have been with all those visual elements. The story is plain and does not catch attention.,3 "Hats off to Marvel Studios!!! They are brilliant in comics as well as in making movies based on the former. I want to say that after watching Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) and The Avengers (2012), Captain America was not my favourite or he was my least favourite superhero from all the rest! I had not many expectations from Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I just expected a good story that would take Captain America's journey forward. But when I watched it, it left me awestruck! I was so surprised that how marvelously this film is executed! With so many elements that I couldn't have asked for more. Story: The story is riveting with twists and turns although I must admit that it is better than its predecessor! It has many scenes and moments from which you just can't take your eyes off, even for a moment! For more to know, just go to watch this film! LOL! Characters: Chris Evans as Steve Rogers is back and yet with a bang!!! Still struggling to cope with the modern world, he's a man who is a Saviour and delivers a bucketful performance as Captain America! Scarlett Johansson is charming yet more beautiful! You can't miss her daring action sequences which is appreciable! Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury delivers more to his audience with a extravaganza performance as compared to The Avengers! He gives a surprise which you would see in the climax. Another character I would like to appreciate is Alexander Pierce. He truly justifies his role but you can't determine whether he is a good or bad guy in this film but you would know in the end. Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter is delightful. I didn't knew she was alive but given her minimum role, she is decent! The most magnificent villain in Marvel for me after Loki is The Winter Soldier. He is just riveting! I can't tell you who he is in actual! Yet another surprise which you would find out in the film! Direction: Brothers Anthony and Joe Russo deserve a round of applause for making and continuing a franchise with so much elements! They are simply fabulous!! Action and Visual Effects: I would like to say that the action and VFX are far more better than the predecessor!! The 3D effects also adds a little touch!! Every action scene is breathtaking!! On the whole, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is yet another magnificent film and a wonderful addition in the Marvel franchise!! Captain America has evolved so much that for me, he is at par with Iron Man. A remarkable effort by the whole cast and crew!!",9 "The fan service was kinda cool. But man, did that get old fast. I counted no less than a dozen hugs and 'you're the best man' moments in the final half of the film. Some of them dragged on to absolute cringe levels. Dopey Doe-eyed Spider-Man is, um, kind of a moron. I realize they needed a story arc, but dammit... Dr. Strange really lost it in this schlock of a movie. They turned one of the most brilliant MCU characters of all-time into an irrational plot device for the dumbest reason. It only got worse from there. Fully knowing Dr. Strange brilliance and expertise in all things time and space... Spider-man makes the most brain-dead decision early on. What god-awful writing. I know we're all suppose to give a pass to Spidey in this MCU causes he's young and inexperienced blah blah... but holy s***... even for someone that is suppose to be 17... what a f'n idiot. This is the same Spidey that saw first hand the s*** that went down with Thanos and the Avengers. The full power and expertise of Dr. Strange and The Avengers. He learned nothing. Its like he reverted into a babbling doe-eyed child in this movie. Overall a shockingly juvenile film that by the end was depressing and unnecessary. The end really did show how juvenile and inexperienced Spider-Man truly is. Maybe that was the whole point. I guess?",3 "Totally awful, probably written by a teenager, or someone who stuck in teen age.",1 "If you start watching, watch the whole season before you quit",9 They try to build up 2 movies of exposition in this movie and have the pay off 10 minutes later. Grindlewald barely does anything in the movie and a lot of aurors forget their powers. Newt has mythril plot amor. The first half was so boring I wanted to sleep in the theater. I love this franchise but this is a hard pass.,4 This movie is shallow. The worst war movie in Hollywood is better than this one .,4 "I liked the movie enough. Aside from feeling burned by my theater's new $11 ticket price, ouch, I had a good time. But I give most credit to the audience with whom I watched this movie at 12:01am on the eve of the opening. The theater was quite full and those people are fanatic, laughing louder and making more whooping noises, clapping often, at stuff that most audiences would let pass in silence. The story was a bit simple, incomplete. Left me really unsatisfied. But if you want all the same stuff from the original: Tony Stark's ego, hot chick diversions, an evil dude and some government red tape as antagonists, then this basic rehash of the original is good for you.",6 Those guys didnt even got through the 7 days army boot camp. Sorry to say but this movie is a poor politicaly righteous attempt to sell you some tickets. Go and see Paths of Glory... Oscar cmon whats wrong with the world today.,5 "I went to see Batman Begins with my family the other day during a matinée. The storyline was campy (in line with the genre), and the acting was so-so. I really got tired of the whispered talking. My favorite Batman movie is Batman (1989) with Keaton, Nichoson. The next best Batman movie is Batman Forever (1995) Val Kilmer, Jim Carey The worst is Catwoman (blaggg! Hairball!) followed closely by Batman & Robin (1997) Batman Begins falls slightly above Batman Returns (1992) Keaton, deVito which I really didn't care for. So if you feel like a Batman movie. I would recommend Batman (1989) and Batman Forever (1995) but that is all.",5 "Let me say to begin with, I love Marvel comics and I have watched every single thing they put out there including the animated shows. I don't know how this TV show got such high ratings. It's ridiculous. The story is so convoluted and uninteresting to follow that I only lasted 2.5 episodes and then I spoiled it for myself because I simply couldn't care less what was happening (I watched the Pitch Meeting, it's simply epic) and boy was I right to do it. Actually I'm annoyed with myself I didn't stop watching this at the first episode. I don't know how a company like Disney gave the green light for such a ridiculous script, wasted an actor like Oscar Isaac and produced this drivel. I'm so disappointed I can't put it into words..",1 "The essence of show is it's uncensored, this not only taking show to popularity but also Indian cinema to new heights, literally didn't expected this much of it but it deliver to complete surprise. Hats off to everyone who put in effort to make this.",9 "Excellent adaptation from the books, I loved from the beginning to the end. I can't wait for the 3rd season come.",10 "It isn't often that directors of commercials make a successful transition to movie-making. Telling a story over two hours, you'd imagine, requires quite a different skill-set from selling a product in thirty seconds. But writer-director J.C. Chandor has pulled it off - not just once, but three times now. Like talky financial thriller Margin Call and taciturn man-at-sea drama All Is Lost, A Most Violent Year is a smart, confident film that dares to linger over its ideas and issues. It may not be his best effort - it's a little too languid and disengaging for that - but it certainly proves, once again, that Chandor can plumb the depths of his subjects and characters with charm and intelligence. At a time when crime is rampant in New York City, in its most statistically violent year yet, Abel Morales (Oscar Isaac) struggles to secure the future of his family and his heating oil business. He needs to secure a bank loan to finance a massive property deal, even as his trucks are repeatedly hijacked and his barrels of oil stolen for sale on the black market. Through it all, Abel tries to stick to his metaphorical guns - to be as honest and trustworthy as his difficult situation allows - although his competitors are out to get him and his own wife (Jessica Chastain) and attorney (Albert Brooks) advise him to fight violence with violence. Anyone looking at the title of the film as a promise will be confounded by A Most Violent Year, which unfolds at a most unhurried pace. There is plenty of violence (and corruption) surrounding Abel, but it hovers menacingly at the corner of the frame and seldom bursts through. Instead, Chandor places his characters in long, talky scenes in which they trade words rather than punches: Abel maintains his innocence in the face of District Attorney Lawrence (David Oyelowo), or pleads with a smarmy competitor (Alessandro Nivola) to save him from financial insolvency. It's why the film can be frustrating at times. The narrative beats are sparse, threaded through a running time that could easily be whittled down. Give in to the slow, measured spell Chandor is weaving, however, and you'll find that the film coils itself into a knot of simmering tension by the end. There's a palpable sense of dread and despair to many scenes, which play all the more quietly for the conspicuous lack of any musical cues whatsoever. The occasional bursts of action thrum with desperation: whether it's Abel tearing after and confronting a hijacker, or truck driver Julian (Elyes Gabel) whipping out a firearm to fend off another debilitating attack. But, stately and intelligent as A Most Violent Year may be, it can also be a somewhat disengaging experience. Chandor shoots it remarkably well, in shades of gloom and ochre, but the narrative occasionally drags. By the time a red-hot splash of violence really does explode across the frame, it feels almost empty: too pat and too contrived for a film like this one. The characters, too, never completely leap off the screen. That's through no fault of the actors involved - Isaac is fantastic as Abel, unearthing his morality and resolve in a world where it'd be far easier to operate with neither. But, without much more of a backstory than what we get in hints, Abel's stoicism often strays too close to the realm of naivety. Chastain's Anna is a fascinating creation, a mobster's daughter with a steely boldness embedded in her very DNA - but doesn't get enough screen time to make more of an impact. A Most Violent Year is haunted by the ghosts of several films. Chandor is evidently well-versed in the likes of The Godfather and Sidney Lumet's New York crime dramas (think Dog Day Afternoon), and he grounds these influences in a plot that would be perfectly at home in one of the Coen Brothers' treatises on the futility of human endeavour. The end result is very much its own entity, a determined exercise in mood rather than action. It may not be to everyone's tastes: some will adore its gentle heartbeat and menacingly slow pace; others might abhor it. But there's no denying that Chandor is one of the most interesting directors making feature films today.",6 "I put off watching this movie for a while because of the bad reviews but finally was in the right mood to sit through it. It's just isn't good at all. The story is all over the place and by the end you really don't care one way or the other for it. Now Brad Pitts movie 'fury' wasn't great but at least it had decent action. This has nothing. Lame air battle scenes, lame ocean battle scenes, lame gun battles. Literally the first scene when the young soldier throws his rifle away because it's jammed makes me think 'is this going to be dumb? ' Pearl Harbour was better than this and that's saying something. Save your time and go play 'Call of duty - WWII', much more realistic and entertaining than this.",2 Liked it. The various possibilities of multiverse turn out to be a great watch.,7 "This could have been a good movie but it is so bad I left halfway through and got my money back. Need I say more, be warned this is woeful and a 7.5 is a disgrace. Its very hard to outline how bad it is without giving away the storyline!! All I can say its clichéd ridden but even they are bad, move to a house tap not working etc etc.",1 "The movie overall was just okay. I frankly thought Batman Begins was better. I don't understand at all why everyone seems to be going so crazy over this movie. There were so many loose ends in my opinions and things that needed clarification. The plot lacked something in my opinion. That said, Heath Ledger's performance was the best part of the movie. If I could rate just him alone it would be 10/10. I don't think he was used enough. He played his part to a tee and was pretty much the only thing about this movie I remember. I don't think I'll be able to get the scene at Gotham hospital out of my head. Also I have to give props to the special effects. There was one scene in particular where I thought they gave the audience a very creative scene and nailed that ""thrill"" factor.",6 I really love the photo-senses and camera in that film.,9 "A film heavily focused on the effects and good looks. Wonderwoman breaks a wall into million of pieces and still manage to look like she just came out of the beauty saloon. Seemed like there was no common thread in the movie, no relatable logic, the script was awful, while the acting was acceptable. The graphics was awesome and the fact that the movie was a superhero movie with a girl as the lead role, was for me the best thing about the movie. That's probably one of the reasons why it got such a high score as well. But personally the movie are one of those movies where you have 20 questions questioning the plot and it's content after walking out of the movie. The movie felt like a big cliché and was at many times overly romantic. But yeah I think most marvel movies and superhero movies in general been very trivial and boring lately, but for me this one was one of the worst.",2 "Glass Onion is Brilliant. Things I Loved About The Movie - 1. The Opening 20 Minute Set Up with the Boxes is So Damn Good. It sets the Tone Perfectly. 2. The Movie takes the Themes and Formula of Knives out 1 and Sets it in a Beautiful Place of Grandeur. 3. It Sets You up with an Initial Plot and Then When Benoit Abruptly ""Disrupts""😏 that. It Moves Onto the Primary Plot which I Thought was Great. 4. The Flow of the Movie was Done So well, at 2 hours and 20 Minutes, I was Intrigued throughout. 5. The Plot and the Way it Unfolds and Twists and Turns was Excellently Written. 6. Daniel Craigs Performance was Very Good. 7. All of the Characters had Roles to Play and they all Fit Perfectly in the Plot. There is Even a Character that Has Nothing to Do with the Actual Movie, He was a Nice Touch 👌 as you will see. Overall, if you are comparing 🏅Glass Onion to 🥈Knives out 1, Glass Onion is a Level above Knives out 1.",10 "As i read some comments about this movie I still didn't believe that this will not be much more than average comedy, but after credits started to roll i thought myself - man, this movie is a classic for the 21st century! We just don't know it yet.. Amazing job. The performance of Jason Segel is just great, even Mila Kunis does excellent playing a more modest type of girl than in That '70s Show. It was also hilarious to see Branscombe Richmond playing after quite a while. Anyway i'm giving a 10 to this movie and the reason is simple: i'm not a big comedy fan, but with this movie i really enjoyed time watching it, and it made my day. I kinda had similar experience, and that made it even more comical. Thumbs up! p.s.: excuse me for my bad English",10 Really fun. The best trio ever. Mabel mora is my fav character ever . Highly recommended.,10 "The plot is very basic and rushed, the CGI is overused and sometimes looks off. There is almost zero character development for any of the characters. The only thing that made the movie enjoyable was watching it in 4DX.",4 This was a fun watch with Robert at his best and moreover his chemistry with Gwyneth was interesting. The creation of a new metal was an interesting part of the movie. Overall a good fun.,8 "The show builds on with lots of action, good storyline and unpredictable twists. Overall a really great watch for anyone who likes Marvel stuff",8 "Season 1 of Stranger Things is quite possibly some of the best TV that's ever been produced. Mystery, thrill, and comedy all wrapped into one charming 80s package. Season 2 takes a slight turn away from the mystery toward more action/thrill, which somewhat takes away from what made this show so special. However, this season also contains some of the best acting, particularly from child actors, that I have ever seen. However, that is somewhat negated by the horrendous train wreck of an episode where the show completely derails from everything they had built up( you will know this episode immediately when you watch it). They corrected their course the following episode and have yet to follow up on some of the plot points they opened up in the dumpster fire. Season 3. Hm. Once again, moving away from the original tone of the first season towards more horror/sci-fi than mystery and thrill. However, it's good TV nonetheless and will keep you on the edge of your seat for most of it.",8 "Spider-Man 2 was a superb sequel to the first, it had a wonderful plot, great action scenes, and in the end it leaves you with the feeling of what will happen now. I would recommend this movie to any action Sci-fi fan. So go to your local movie rental store and rent this movie or better yet go buy it, because this way you get to watch this movie anytime you would like to. Your money will be well spent if you get this movie, you wont regret it it is one of the best movies I have seen all year; in fact its the best sequel ever made in the history of sequels. D.L. Bailey",10 "A real nothing kinda movie. Painfully boring, little to no meaningful plot partly saved by the A list cast. Not the best Tarantino has done that's for sure!",4 "I loved venom and Carnage as a kid, the characters were brilliant. This is worst than the first film which says a lot, I think woody was a good option but the direction of the film let's it down and no real build up to the ultimate fight. I'd love for venom and carnage to get a reboot down the line and be given an 18 rating and let them become films we like, not PG nonsense for the kids.",3 I really enjoy this series. Dr Smith is even more annoying than her predecessor. Great special effects. Plot line is like a roller coaster,9 I really appreciate the idea of 1 season and i was watching it with holding my breath. The second season is a big JOKE about everything and nothing. Last episode of the second season just made me to feel that i was watching a Quentin Tarantino movie on the Disney chanel.,6 "This hyped war film was pretty good and I enjoyed it, but it don't think I need to see it ever again. The single shot real time thing was really cool and it felt like you were in a virtual reality video game or something. The plot has a Saving private ryan thing going on. The modern cinematography and conceptual sound design felt like Dunkirk.",6 "I normally don't go for this genre of movie--comic book action if you will. I didn't see the first ""Iron Man"" installment, and probably would not have seen this one had I not owed a favor, lol. But I'm glad I saw it. I think it was good enough for what it was intended to be. I can't say that I'm surprised it was a solid film because I knew beforehand it had a superb cast of actors in it. And though it might not be anywhere near a 10 on the IMDb scale (I'm giving it a solid 7), for someone who wants to pass away a couple of hours and be entertained, to laugh and ooh and ahh at the action and special effects, this movie works. I will admit that it did drag a little in the middle and I even dozed off for a short spell. However, when I awoke, I was able to jump right back in and still leave the movie theater fulfilled. And I think that's the perfect description of the film overall. As in all good sequels, if you can jump in and ""get"" the movie without having seen the prequel, nine times out of ten, that denotes a solid film. The plot is kind-of thin, so there's not a lot of intense thinking and figuring out things involved, which means it's light-hearted. So if you're looking for an intense mystery or something, this is not your movie. However, if you just want to be entertained and laugh at a cute dialogue and ""ooh and ahh"" at special effects, this movie works. 7/10",7 The chemistry isn't there even though I love the lead actors. The script is childish and dumb. Could have been so much more.,3 "...and if I lasted more than an hour, I'd probably come up with more adjectives this is THE worst superhero movie in a line of really bad films. all the 'old' cast (who reeeaally got older throughout the marvel cineverse) looks like they've just came to get their final paycheck. it just feels forced, like a bad commercial, or like a prog rock song that should've ended few minutes ago. none of what we see makes any sense, there's no sensible plot , even ""fun stuff"" comes off as rather sad. and that's the word that describes the final (?) avengers movie the best way - sad...",3 I have watched it so many time but still I love this movie so mucj,10 "I'm not a much of martial arts fan, though I have enjoyed a few now and then. But I do love a fun film like this. The action was excellent and fun to watch but it was the comedy that had me laughing out loud like I haven't laughed in a long time. Don't be put off by having to watch this movie with subtitles- once this film gets rolling, you won't notice you're reading them -- and it even somehow enhanced the humor of the film for me. What a treat! The animation of the musical fight scene, the subtle jokes mixed in with the outright guffaws, the playful use and satirizing of stereotypes from all the walks of life is so well done that I'd find it hard to believe anyone could watch this and not walk away almost tired of laughing!",10 "I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't totally love it, but it was still quite good.",8 "Both as a Normal Viewer and as a Marvel fan, I'm pretty underwhelmed. First of all, I think the movie is forced. Second of all, it's not well-made. Third of all, very unbaked, raw, too soon. 1,) The movie tries to base on multiple characters, even on characters that haven't been properly introduced or feel like side characters, even though they pose as ""great marvel avengers"". Each of these characters should've got their own movie first, and than the Civil War. The movie feels like they try to say ""Yeah, look at him! He is important!"" meanwhile you are like ""Who the hell is that?"". It feels forced. The confrontation, the characters, the plot, over-all it's just.. mixed but not forged. They are just there. I expected much more from a Marvel and from a Superhero movie. I feel like this movie is terrible and just hard to watch. Spider-Man feels like he is just there because he was in the trailer. So you need some hype and want to advertise the other new Marvel movie, so let's drop him in. 2,) Most of the fight scenes felt bad. It's not just the lack of them, because in comparison to the Avengers, or the Hulk vs Iron Man of the Avengers II... what do we got? .. but also the quality and un-creativity of them. It feels like they didn't even try. Seriously, compare this movie to the rest of the Captain America and Avengers movie. Well worked out scenes, dynamic fights, show offs, jokes etc. They had so many things in them. Here..? Blank, uninteresting, mostly just camera shots. Simply: In Avengers 2 we could see why Warmachine is a war-machine. Gatling guns, rockets.. it's basically Iron-Man in a gunpowder version. Here? He is chasing a slower, gliding guy, who is basically un-armed in comparison to the Iron-Man armor. Than he gets ""accidentally"" shot down by Vision... On the SKY. I know Vision has a range.. sure. But this precision, force and range? Why wasn't it used before? I would say that Vision is a very mixed character in this story, but let's just say that they tried to hide him. Pretty under-whelming to be honest. 3,) I don't think they didn't notice this. Even on script these problems, plot-holes, and just overall they can be felt. But business is business and they went with it.. and you can feel that. A lot of choice in this movie is just not good. A lot of part is boring, the side-stories sometimes are stronger than the main story... F.e.: The video-footage. The whole movie based around it. So they had a camera like that, on the middle of nowhere in 1991? Well, not everything is perfect. Let's forget it. ..and another one.. and.. next one.. and another one. Did anyone thought the actual plot over? The let's hate each other for some unknown reason, because the viewers want to see you fight with each other. Yeah, beat each other up. I liked that fight scene though. I'm sure you will hear people rant, how Captain America who even as a super-soldier should not be able to fight with Iron Man, or that Buky just has an iron-hand not an iron chest, but this is a comics movie. It doesn't have to be perfect. However when you constantly feel that they didn't even try. ""Ohhh it will be good for fans, they watch everything."" The feeling is just flowing from the movie. I don't recommend it over-all, maybe if you are a hardcore fan.",3 "An incredible journey through the multiverse. The writing is tight and super interesting by captivating conceptual realities with engaging visuals. The exploration of Loki's journey to enlightenment past his villainous trajectory with the past, his brother Thor, the war with Thantatos and his family hierarchy back in Arsgard all probable realities coalesce in this fantasy. Tom Hilldleton and Owen Wilson have an incredible witty bantar throughout that keeps getting better. Please give them best actor awards. This is a must watch it twice just to savior the nuances of these fantastic characters. The whole cast is great and if you love quantum physics you'll love this. Cheers.",9 "This isn't some high brow comedy, a lot of the jokes are just about sex and boobs, but just because it isn't high brow doesn't mean it isn't funny, this is a pretty solid comedy with good acting from the whole cast and just a generally fun atmosphere, it even manages to mix in some touching moments of teenage friendship. If you need a comedy this is worth a watch.",7 If I could I wouldn't even give it 1 star.. I just watched the 1st episode and I would say the amount of drugs the people involved in this production took is unimaginable... its like some people got so high they just thought how depraved can we make the general public and I for one will never watch another episode of this disgusting program and I hope my children will have more morality than to continue to support the crap that damaged people think is now the new Normal. I'm so glad this absolutely crap has been discontinued and I hope the future of my children have to face is better than this...,1 "I grew up watching sci-fi cinemas, specially cosmos related movies. So I was desperately waiting for this tv-series, which was no.1 on my priority watch list. But i am really disappointed after watching straight for like 12 hours. Concept in new but interesting moments are very few. you'll definitely get bored and curse the concept writer. As Netflix tried to hide the story telling by pouring good amount of money into visual graphics but this will not gonna save this tv-series from getting sinking. If you've nothing important to do, then you can give it a try for imaginary visual cinema",6 "I really don't get what the excitement is about this series. For me, the plot stumbles from one cliché to the other (people may call it ""references to the 80's"" but forget that the 80's were the most boring period in the past 50 years). Acting is quite awful - Winona Ryder horrid. David Harbour is probably the best from the bunch. All the high school backdrop is awfully tedious and cliché-ridden. The merits of this series are only the cinematography (even though we've seen all those tricks before as well) and the way in which a certain level of suspense is effectively created. No need for a second season here. Please just cancel the show.",6 "Yea, interstellar is a technical achievement (deserves the visual effects Oscar) and the acting is good, but the rest sucks. The story is dull, it is way to long for what it's trying to do, the characters are paper thin, there is nothing that's emotionally effective, the dialogue is overly long speeches in a row, characters die and I feel nothing, the atm robot looks hilariously bad, the villain who is in it for himself is named dr. Mann (oh what a subtle metaphor), and the ending is a atrocious mess (for a movie about science they sure throw science out the window with that horrible excuse for an ending). A disappointment from someone who knows better than this crap.",2 "I'm a Marvel fan through and through and was crazy for the movies. I was hugeeee fan of Marvel-Netflix shows like Daredevil and Punisher even though Iron Fist and others were underwhelming. I saw Scarlet Witch, great build up, bad pay off for the ending. I saw Falcon and Winter Soldier, non-gripping story, obvious ending and a monologue to get the point across because the writing wasn't convincing enough. Now Loki, so much promise for such an inconsistent storyline. So many plot holes, Loki and Sylvia reduced to a random couple of characters who are smart or dumb, skillful or amateurish depending on what the plot demands, basically plot devices. Still, being a Marvel fan drew me to find out how it end and what the twist and ending were all about. The pay off was better than Scarlet Witch, but the action was worse than Falcon and Winter Soldier. Plot wise it was a bit okay with the time and other phenomena but still unconvincing. Started off great but many inconsistencies in writing. What is wrong with Marvel? Why have they written and given permission to these underwhelming shows and stories? What a waste of good caste. Just hire the Netflix guys who made Daredevil and Punisher and stay true to the characters and make a convincing story. Man, after watching these 3 below average shows I feel like binging Daredevil Netflix show once again. I can only dream of such quality with the boring stuff Disney+ is putting out.",5 This movie is nothing less then a masterpiece .. There must be more such movies made.. Kudos to the writers actors special mention Rajkumar Rao.. Tripathi ji.. AB for a change..Aditya roy .. All the characters were fun .. Such a treat to eyes,10 "I gave this a 5 because it's only half a movie - all action and no plot. Not saying the action isn't well done but with no plot, we lose the motivation for the action.",5 "The worst marvel movie I've ever been thru! What an awful acting job from everyone! Crappy directing,music didn't work...will never watch another marvel movie!",3 "It's rare that I abandon a show. I usually get to the end of a season/series and then give an opinion. But in the case of Mare of Easttown, I just couldn't stand watching any more. I do wonder how a show like this gets decent reviews. I guess some people just love misery porn and soap opera family drama. To be clear, I thought I was getting a crime drama. Instead, I got dreary, depressing family drama, with the standard teen side stories thrown in. I don't need every show to be bright and fluffy. In fact, another show this has been compared to, I loved - Sharp Objects. One key difference between that show and this show is that Amy Adams - despite being emotionally broken - was likeable and you sympathised with her. You can't say the same about most people in MoE. Miserable people galore, in a miserable town, with truly awful accents. In summary, if you like depressing family drama, you may get something from this show. If not, stay away.",2 "American fiction, Cord Jefferson's directorial debut and the newly popular best picture nominee, is a satirical comedy-drama that stars Jeffery Wright and Sterling K. Brown among others. It's story revolves around a frustrated writer-professor that is faced with a literary landscape that refuses to accept his highly stylized and complex writings in favor of a sheepishly crafted and offensively stereotypical so called ""Black"" books, works of fiction that romanticize the violence and crime as a centric trait of the african-american communities. ""American fiction"" through its satire deals with a myriad of social issues, it opposes Jeffery Wright's character Monk to a reality that does all but accept who he is as a person without judging the color of his skin. The American readers are mindlessly devouring stereotypically violent and delinquent so called black literature mistaking it for edgy and original, suppressing in the meantime black voices like his that only want to express their own selves without any à priori on their race or origin. He views those stereotypes and the tendency of some african american writers to capitalize on that as immorality and wasted potential for black representation even though it is clear that not all of that is pure fiction and dramatization, refusing to reconcile with the reality that both those things could be true. Beyond all that however lies the best part of American fiction, the trials and tribulations of a man in the middle of a decaying family. This movie is at its core a heartbreaking story of a family in ruins, as distant as it ever was, of lost love and hopeless romance. The tragedy of Monk is that of a lost writer, a man who is convinced he is misunderstood and unappreciated all the while blocking everyone from reaching out. Highly nuanced and with a subtle physicality, Jeffery Wright's performance only accentuated this aspect of the lost character. He delivers a wonderful performance and accentuates the complexity of the themes this movie explores. Sterling K.brown's performance is tragic in all its aspects. The family dynamic is very poignant and edges on tension most of the time. The film's style is very simple, and purposely uncomplicated. It unfolds the story in its rawest form, with no use of visual metaphors and a very light touch of symbolism. What you see with ""American fiction"" is what you get: the story of a struggle, not only that of racial tension and social categorization, but that of a broken family, composed of broken people that were brought down by life, not because of bad luck or social oppression, but because life brings down even the strong. It is the story of a man trying to make sense of his life among the ruins. And deep down aren't we all.",7 "This deliciously smart comedy from writer-director Subhash Kapoor stars Rajat Kapoor as Om Shastri, a desperate NRI from America, who must sell off his ancestral village property so he can save his home in New Jersey from being repossessed by the bank. Within days of arriving in the village, however, he is kidnapped by local crime-pin Bhaisaab (played by the excellent Sanjay Mishra), who dreams of a fat ransom in exchange for the NRI's release. When Shastri reveals that he's lost everything in the recent financial meltdown, Bhaisaab's dreams are crushed. That is until Shastri himself, along with Bhaisaab's trusted right-hand man Anni (played by Oye Lucky Lucky Oye's Manu Rishi), comes up with a shrewd new plan that will make both the kidnapper and the victim richer by several lakhs. Constructed from a terrific script that's strong on plot and packed with crackling dialogue, 'Phas Gaye Re Obama' is consistently engaging. Shastri plots his own 'sale' from one wisened gangster to the next unsuspecting crook, in what becomes a chain of hilarious cons. Along the way we're introduced to a string of quirky, original characters that add colour to this palette. Neha Dhupia stars as Munni, a dreaded don who despises men, and who's dubbed herself the female Gabbar Singh. She surrounds herself by an army of tough-looking henchwomen with names like Kareena, Deepika, Madhuri, Rani and Preity, and spends her free time chipping away at male statues. Amole Gupte plays a permanently constipated minister who runs a professionally managed kidnapping-and-extortion company, where you're provided with a receipt on payment of the ransom, and a one-year guarantee against a repeat abduction. But the star of the film is Manu Rishi, who brings just the perfect degree of naïvete to his role of a gangster's moderately-educated sidekick yearning for a better life. His character, Anni has his heart set on moving to America, and insists he's got what it takes – he's watched reruns of Obama's famous 'Yes we can!' speech repeatedly, he's taking English lessons at a local coaching class, and he hasn't missed a single one of Sylvester Stallone's greatest action hits. 'Phas Gaye Re Obama' is unpredictable and surprisingly relevant, even if the film's title (which seems to squarely blame the US President for the recent global recession) is a bit of a stretch. Cleverly written and sharply cast, it's a film that delivers hearty laughs. Don't miss it. It's one of those rare Hindi films that's funny and smart at the same time!",10 "Full season edit: 7/10 I ended up liking the show more than I thought I would. It started to hit its stride by episode 7. I was invested in the characters by the end and looked forward to each Sunday. I was not a fan of the character changes and time jumps at all. This could've been better handled with flashbacks or dialogue. Changing the actress for Rhaenyra was a travesty, you could've easily de-aged Emma, or aged Milly. Both are great actresses, but this change was too jarring and nonsensical. Some great characters this season, Vicerys is top of the list. Dragon CGI improved by the end as well. Still no GoT, but happy to be back in this world! HBO, please explain why there will be more than a years wait for season 2? Possibly two years isn't acceptable at all. GoT season 2 was one year after season one and it was a lot more riskier at that time. Episode one review 5/10 First off, never met a prequel that I liked better than the original, this is no different. Half the suspense is gone before you start. Why would I care anything about the Targaryen's knowing the fate of their family? Maybe if Daenerys story had a different outcome, perhaps I'd be more invested in her family and their history. Secondly, comparing episode one of GoT and ep1 of HotD, I can easily say GoT was light years better. It had stronger characters with way more personality, several exciting storylines that got started within an hour, and to touch on the first point - the excitement of the unknown. I found the CGI to be a bit lesser than what we saw in GoT - which really is not acceptable. The entire colour palette of this show is quite dreary and unremarkable. This would've been a below average episode during the first half of the original GoT series. Season 8 destroyed my passion for this World and this episode did not revive it.",7 This movie overall good for best action. Movie story are not good but scene play are good and easy to related actual activities. It simply means action and scene play are very well but story and other things are not good if you want to action must then you go for it not disappoint you.,7 ".. decent show . Over serious. Way too drawn out but a very well crafted and acted out drama. 8.2 is a ludicrous rating and anyone going in expecting a modern classic will be disappointed. If this film is on your list to watch , like it was mine for a few years then honestly I'd catch up on other 'classics' you have on the list because this certainly isn't one. Reminded me very much of Zodiac 2007 in which people absolutely ranted and raved about and I just watched wishing the boredom would end. 6/10",6 "Comedy, action, badass scenes, this show has it all. A must watch! Season 1 was a 10/10 Season 2 so far has been disappointing cause of the mediocre animation and bad plotline, but the most recent episode was aight so my hopes are high again.",9 Ani is the most irritating character and I have to skip her voice every time I hear.,4 Too much mess..killing more innocent people in the opening scene and all characters are laughing as if its a joke..opening car sequence dragged for over 20 min with pointless killings..torture,1 "I was watching this movie today for the first time even though I knew about it for a long time. I knew that it is a very good film and I had seen some clips of it earlier but I was scared to watch it somehow because it's just difficult for me to see pain and sadness in any movie. But I was wrong, this movie was more than pain and sadness. The feelings of love, compassion, struggle, and guilt highlighted in this film made it exceptional for me. Even though this movie is from 2010, it resonates a lot with me on how I see the world in 2023. It changed my perspective on how people see different religions and customs in the world and how they should actually see it. The problems this film highlighted were and what I learned: 1. How people and mostly kids behave with people with special needs whether its bullying, teasing or just ignoring. 2. How the final verdict for all conflict is that there are only two people in a situation a good person and a bad person. It's not easy to just point out whether a person is good or bad because everyone has made some mistakes in the past or still do because of contaminated thoughts and bad mental health too . 3. The virtue of showing humanity and kindness is far more easier than actually how people think. Even though sometimes people feel what would even our small help or act of kindness will make difference in the life of needy or to all the social issues in the world but the actual difference happening is the relief and happiness both sides get for the smallest percent increase in the better world we dream of.",8 This is an episode of Malcolm in the middle not a super hero movie. I don't want to watch an action and a comedy. This movie is just so un interesting. This doesn't feel like venom it feels like a bad Deadpool.,3 "I enjoyed the Sopranos and Goodfellas, multiple viewings of each, but this one was just tedious, and I really wanted to like it. It was like a first time director had taken the wheel - they spent 5 full minutes on dialogue confirming that there was a fish in the red car that Jimmy Hoffa rode in. The detail is completely irrelevant to the plot. I had a hard time believing the film got so much positive press. There are no likable characters, the sound track is in places just a depressing low drone, there is no real suspense, and all the characters are hard to keep track of. Most bizarre are the on screen titles telling us how just about everyone violently dies, and when, though that has not much to do with the plot either. I 'get' that this was intended to take some of the glamour away from the rotten people being depicted, but I'm not sure it worked. Might have been okay with some of the many, many pointless exchanges of dialogue trimmed or deleted.",2 "The first film was good ,this was just good enough for me to say I enjoyed it but not very much. No plot spoilers. Woody Harrlson was very good in this. I am not a fan of his. If you like this sort of film then see it but it is not very good.",6 "How sad . . . I was truly looking forward to a uniquely crafted film experience, but no matter how much I wanted to have that experience, it just wasn't there. Much effort was devoted to the sets, aesthetic motifs, and beautifully outfitted actors. As a plotless visual artpiece, it had its moments. Beyond that, it was an embarrassingly silly attempt at a story, filled with mono-dimensional cliched characters. I can appreciate the cultural concept that was being attempted. In that context, this could have been a spectacular opportunity for the Marvel franchise, but it was sadly missed. To say this production was a disappointment would be more than an understatement. That it actually ended up on Netflix so soon after its run in the theaters is an appropriate assessment of this unfortunate missed opportunity for something that could have been so much more. For visual aesthetic, it deserves 2 stars . . . but beyond that, not much can be said for this unfortunate production.",2 "This movie accomplishes exactly what Iron Man 3 does but for Steve Rogers instead. Unlike Thor in Thor: The Dark World, this movie is filled with Steve's character development. Not only does he find his long lost best friend but he also struggles in coming to terms with himself and attempting to fit into a new society. He also must learn to trust certain people but not everyone, this only furthers the bond between Natasha and Steve. This is also his second run in with disobeying large authority figures and going against them for not only himself, but also the good of the people.",9 "It's slow. It's very meandering and doesn't grab you. It's laced with shots of people's feet, it's pretty clear this movie exists to satiate Tarantinos foot-fetish. It's boring as heck. I legit filed expenses while this was on. QTs 2nd worst film.",3 "See some people saying that season 2 was great, and it only started going downhill this season. How? The only good episode in season 2 was the first one which actually followed the books quite closely, and surprise, it's actually good. Was a complete dumpster fire after that. Watching season 3 though, we can see why Cavill decided to leave. The show continues to careen off into its own direction. Spending a whole episode each on the conclave and Ciri in the desert, just to rush the rest of the season should've been seen as a mistake before filming even started. I give props to Henry, Anya, Freya, MyAnna, and Mahesh for trying to carry this season, but their backs are surely broken by this awful writing very far from the finish line.",1 "Community is a fantastic show. The hilarious cast of characters and Britta create a really fun show to binge. Their tributes to popular media are creative and funny at the same time. The only 2 things that bring this show down are season 4 and some of the first few episodes. Otherwise, the show is fantastic and I would recommend giving it a watch.",8 "Was more like a documantary, i Don't understand the way this film is made up, so complicated.",3 "There are loads of thrilling and spooky moments and the soundtrack can often be incredibly eerie. The characters are mostly solid and the philosophical elements aren't too preachy but they don't over-explain the subtext as most shows do. It's not flawless. There are times where it may be dull and at the end of it all you may be wondering if it'd have been better if we didn't know some parts of the plot (to give it more of a secretive story progression) and the music can be irritating at times with strange acapellas and sampling having little to do with the plot and atmosphere. Nick Offerman is great in this. I never really watched his sitcom roles, but this, The Founder and even his short role in Bad Times at El Royale show he's a very good actor. Give it a chance.",7 "Great acting, great camrea shots, great derecting and lot of nostalgia isnt enough to make a great movie. He just couldn't connect all the stories and scenes to one idea.",5 "It was very slow at many parts of the movie, many of them unnecessary and there were many things that was left unexplained. I felt they the movie was directed to the new marvel fans and didn't give us marvel veterans the fan service we wanted. It was a rather good comedy, but the action that I was expecting was lacking. The was put out to be appealing towards society and media, and not to us fans of the series. I feel betrayed, but understand why it ended up like this. I get why people would enjoy it, but I didn't. This is the avengers, and therefore it is definitely a must-see, just not as great as it was expected..",4 """His dock doesn't float. His wonder fuel is a disaster.

It was not boring, it was not too quick, so you can think about it during the movie and make your own guess about what had happened. But also it made me think a little after the end. I'd say it is not very common, but some people will definitely find it worthy of more thoughts. The actors and the actresses were quite good. The interiors and the exteriors in the movie were interesting, detail-focused and ""new"". I can say it was visually pleasing. At the other hand, the introduction to the plot for the viewer is a little long. So it can be boring when you are in mood for the type of crimi where it is thrilling right from the start. One thing stayed unclear. The secondary stories of the other ""friends"" could be more exposed and explained.",7 "Firstly, I should say that I loved first IRONMAN movie. Indeed in many respects it raised the bar for future comic / action hero movies. Like the revised Batman movies it was not afraid to be a bit darker, particularly the origin story at the beginning of IRONMAN 1. Sadly the sequel has none of that. I'd say the studio executives wanted something that would appeal to everyone and unfortunately they got it. It's a Magnolia paint of a movie. Why? Well whilst I did care about Tony Stark in the first movie, I did not connect with any of the characters this time around. The director features too much in the movie. The comedy is slightly overdone. Finally, the bad guys: an arms dealing moron and a Cape Fear bad guy reject just did not provide any sense of suspense. Not in the same why Jeff Bridges did. Pity because both actors could do better with better material. On the whole the special effects are good but the plot, script and story are poor.",6 "This is probably the first quality show that has been oroduced in the last 5 years! Great show, great actors, original story line. Finally a show that isnt woke and doesnt bring politics into the show.",10 "I'll be honest, movies don't ever make me feel hectic but this one did. Watching Adam Sandlers character constantly running around trying to parlay decisions he's made over and over again into something better made me frustrated. It's the first time I've ever had a character make me feel that way. Normally characters that are sinking ships don't do that to me but this one did. The fake teeth/veneers were ridiculous looking but I guess accurate considering the type of person he's playing. Overall it was a decent movie with an expected ending based off of the movie as whole but I was expecting more after reading reviews.",5 "Recurrent and boring concept, and despite my interest for Asian cinematography (my first mistake, this movie is just Big Hollywood with three Asian American actors and a Malaysian actress), Jackie Chan action/comedies and super-hero sagas, this is definitely neither a mind-blowing nor revolutionary film.

Heart touching movie which inspires you.,10 "Pros: Technically Good - Usually with almost every MCU project, the visuals, editing and CG are the standouts amongst others and that is no different with Loki. It brings the fantasy elements to life and as each episode flows on, the show becomes more technically outstanding. Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson - TH deliverers superb one liners as well as dramatic monologues but has the ability to bring an average script to life. He was meant to play Loki and deliverers once again here. But OW who we usually associate with his comedy showed his range off to the world. Don't get me wrong his character is very humorous but his serious when he needs to be and that was a nice surprise. Left me wanting more - I won't go into too much detail, but the finale certainly will leave everyone with many questions, but with excitement of what's to come. Marvel is a cesspit fro theories and claims of what's to come, but I'm sure whatever happens, it'll be worth the wait. For the meantime though, this show has only added more baggage to the Phase 4 bandwagon. Cons: The Writing - The writing can definitely make or break how the film/TV show is perceived, the writing was average at best. There were far too many cliche comebacks throughout the show in intense situations which was a let down for me. A Slow show - Apart from the finale, the overall outing was a bit of a slog for me. Like any show, from the get-go it needs time to establish the world and premise for us as the audience to understand things. But by the 3rd and 4th episodes I was still left thinking when will this get going. The pace dragged. Overall I thought Loki was a decent showing from Marvel. The best praise I can give it, is that it's given audiences the biggest hints as to what comes next in terms of villains and plot for Phase 4. Quote - 'Look, this has been a very enjoyable pantomime, but I'd like to go home now' - Loki Rating - 3/5.",7 "I have never been a Batman fan, and this tripe is why-- I could never invest any emotions into a guy with a rubber suit who has been around too long (cinematically speaking). Frankly--I hope this is really the end of this ridiculously silly idea.(I mean the guy cant even fly !! Not like Superman) I have to say.....on a more positive note......he sure has nice big ears. The franchise could run for ever of course (like Spiderman and the other ""Super Heroes""). Yes there are people around who hang their brain on the front seat and ""actually enjoy"" this pure form of garbage. (the script is awful) It says a lot about the decline of the world--wide I.Q.

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, the Jason Bourne series or Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy... are names that are often mentioned in the list of good Hollywood sequels (sequels). But always in the top group of every list of the best movies of all time as the case of the first two parts The Godfather (Vietnamese title is Bo Gia) is truly unique. After The Godfather was born in 1972 based on the author Mario Puzo's original work, he thought there would be no other gangster work that could compare, but only two years later, The Godfather II dispels all doubts with The quality shows the best of director Francis Ford Coppola and the performance deserves to be included in the acting textbooks of stars Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.",10 "The movie was ok but it really made me angry because I see lack of respect for my religion. I'm sure his Christian (not spoiling) was not that crazy, I can understand people, all religions can be too radical, but this was a total disrespect, what a way to make Christians look pathetic!! Is it fashionable nowadays in movies and series? It's all over! Does Spilberg need to go along with this? Or is there really something going on to drive people away from their religious background ? It was interesting, but I saw it only because I knew it was Spilberg's Ibiography, and it was free on the plane.",4 "2024, the year I've decided to watch a masterpiece animated show. It had everything, all the emotions that was necessary to get going till the end. The action, the thrill and also a lesson. Violence is not always the answer. It's always easy to take revenge but so hard to forgive. I've had the show on the my list for so long but looking at the graphics and a kid I misjudged it for years. If you have a friend who is pushing you to watch this and you're reluctant, trust them and watch it. It's just worth it. Might take time to grasp but give it some time and you'll enjoy every bits of it till the end.",10 "Wandavision was such a cliché series. Mixing Merlin, heroes (season 1 is awesome), under the dome,once upon a time, some s.h.i.e.l.d. Stuff, .. and probably something i havent seen yet. Anyway. Nothing new 6/10. Not a bad watch overall. I suggest you watch the once I mentioned above if you like this.",6 "I agree with all the negative reviews and none of the positives. How did I ever get conned into watching this! oh that's right it won the best picture Oscar WTF!!! This must surely go down in history as the most undeserving best picture EVER. I have never served in the military but even I could see all the inaccuracies and inconsistencies in this film. Dear Kathryn if you are going to make a wildly inaccurate war film make something along the lines of 'Inglorious Basterds' don't put it in such a contemporary and closely scrutinized setting. There must have been technical experts working on this film? I can only think they sabotaged this film intentionally. This film is about on par with TV episodes of 'Combat' or 'McHales Navy' except they were entertaining. I'm probably overstating this films short comings but my expectations were so high it really was disappointing how little entertainment factor there was. Just read some more of the other negative reviews here and I now wonder if a petition can be made to have the Oscar stripped from this embarrassment. There would be at least 100 signatories here.",4 "Parker Posey plays the worst character ever created. She makes this show not worth watching. It's one of those nothing can ever go right situations, and it's super annoying. The kid is dumb as rocks. The mom is smart and she's kind of enjoyable. That's not enough, though. Only watch this if you are super bored and in the mood to be irritated. Which is hopefully never.",5 "With the plethora of references to my childhood (and the age of the child playing the Atari 2600), it would seem the target audience is me. I loved the references to my past -- that is the reason I gave this movie four stars instead of the 2 or 3 it deserves -- it is also the only reason I did not turn it off after 30 minutes. The movie is just not good. The story is not good and the characters are not good. The presentation looks like a cut-scene from a video game -- and although they were IN a video game they still could have done better. Nothing that happens in the film is remotely believable. The ""clever"" twists were not clever. The characters had no depth, typical for video game characters, but less so when there are supposed to actual people behind those avatars. They give you no reason to care about these people... I fear that if the script had tried the actors still would have failed to pull it off. I cannot believe how bad this movie was in light of the fact that I AM THE TARGET AUDIENCE. Massive disappointment. Watch it only if you want to enjoy A LOT of references to nerd-culture of the 80s (and some 70s and 90s) woven into a boring ""story"".",4 I honestly can't wait for the next episode to come out,10 "Netflix's Overhyped and Overrated and awaited Hollywood meets Bollywood Movie 'Extraction' Starring Chris Hemsworth 'The Thor"" in Desi Action Movie.",6 He literally killed everyone he killed bad people and also he killed innocent police officers and soldiers who are doing they job . bringing peace and order to the city and protect their City from a criminal . for example in that particular scene in checkpoint .he has no morality.,4 "First off, you have to be naive way beyond Pollyanna to think that the orgasmically, hyperbolically glowing reviews were NOT churned out by a PR machine. It's getting easier to decide what makes a flick great or not. I was just rewatching Nights of Cabiria, and it's a great case for how a rock solid story and labor-of-love direction more than compensates for flaws in other areas. The problem with Avengers is that it's a hollow concept/myth ginned up with some admittedly clever writing and CGI. The difference is that, to me, the writing and production don't compensate for a lousy core plot line. The classic deus ex machina resolves inextricable gotchas in plot development: In Avengers, the deus ex machina is the villain, introduced at the beginning to set the plot in motion and give the writers a reason to get up in the morning. Loki touches people with a weird stick and they magically become his partisans; how lame could a plot point possibly be? I will again mention that, once forces contrive to bring our good guys into some kind of alliance, the writing is remarkably good; even enjoyable. But I have to mention a few more of my personal bugaboos. First off, being a sort of closet Discordian, my ears prick up when a ""troublemaker god"" is maligned. Loki as an evil nemesis strikes me a bit incongruous. I like troublemaker gods! They keep us on our toes, and keep us from devolving into protoplasmic sludge. I don't like seeing the glorious tradition of troublemaker gods as agents of change being blasphemed like this. Next, look at Loki's statement of intent: He wants to take away our freedom, thereby making us free.** Why do I feel like I'm watching Dr. Evil ask for ""ONE MILLION DOLLARS!"" all over again? Don't the writers know that human beings have been giving up their freedom to become free as long as there has been civilization? Are you in a relationship in which you've abdicated your principles for the short term gain of freedom from abject loneliness? Are you locked into an economic system that takes away more and more of your freedom? Haven't you already internalized the view that this kind of enslavement is freedom? Don't you pay taxes so that bombs can be dropped on benighted wedding parties full of men, women, and children who haven't yet bought into this precise species of freedom? The ""Loki"" of this flick is laughably and lamely late to the game! You can see it's difficult to get behind the ensuing Sturm und Drang when there's nothing truly relateable at stake, on the table, in play. ** BTW, revealing this info isn't a ""spoiler"": It's the beginning point of the plot, not a revelatory middle or endpoint.",4 "This was not a good film. Period. Honestly, on my personal rating scale, I would have probably given it about a 3/10. It had its moments here and there. Kind of. However, the hype surrounding this movie and all of the excitement about its poorly written, downright dumb jokes were outrageous. I'm tired of hearing people talk about Superbad. I'm tired of hearing its name compared to good movies. And most of all, I'm tired of people saying it was good because they heard it was. For all you uneducated folks who insist on hyping up this film, that's called ""jumping on the bandwagon."" Whatever guy of high authority used the words ""good"" and ""Superbad"" in the same sentence deserves to be locked in a room for a year with this so called ""comedian"" Jonah Hill. This movie was the epitome of the word ""stupid"" in all of its essence. From start to finish I was waiting. Waiting for something that never came: A good joke. Anything that would have let me leave the theater feeling the least bit satisfied. The filmmakers attempted to make a film that we could relate to. ""We"" being teenagers. Unless you are a dumb brick, you can't relate to this film. Quite simply, they failed in that sense. I mean, are we really this dumb? I beg you, if you wasted your money on a DVD of this film, watch it again, but this time keep this in your mind: This is how adults view us. This is how the world views us. Yes they probably made a bundle off this low budget piece of garbage. But I remind them, I'm still waiting for something that makes me laugh. So I vote they make a new film, maybe start fresh, throw in some guys who are actually funny. How bout NOT Jonah Hill...and let's just steer clear of Seth Rogen, because he isn't funny. ""Knocked Up,"" another mockery of modern film making, was also crap. It's not like I don't have a sense of humor. I love comedies. Want to see a good comedy? Go watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Go see any film by Wes Anderson. Hell, I like the dumb ones too. I highly recommend just about anything with Jim Carrey or Steve Carrel. THOSE are comedians. So please try to avoid watching this if you haven't already been sucked in by all of the hype. Because (I'm sure that I'm not the first person to say this) ""Superbad"" was simply super bad.",1 "When you watch an Adam Sandler film (besides The Longest Yard) you know what to expect. Slapstick comedy that's easy to watch. Not great, not terrible. Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler are a good match as seen in Just Go With It also.",6 "When people and critics say this show is amazing, awesome the best show on TV I expect to be so. In my experience I found the show to be like if it's was just stretching and setting up something and it was in the 6th episode. Episodes 1 to 5 meh.",7 "1917's rave reviews have heralded the visuals and the storyline as elite; even the marketing campaign has gone to great lengths to demonstrate how the ""one-take"" effect of the film as a masterful piece of cinema. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean the mediocre storyline really ever comes together; massive set-pieces and inspired lighting aren't enough to buoy the jumbled cameos and obvious cuts in scenes, which ultimately hurt 1917 more than they help. Some of the film is beautiful, but you were bound to hit the target once or twice considering how much Sam Mendes threw at this project. The story follows two British soldiers across uncharted territory, given only 24 hours to deliver a vital message to a general on the warpath. To me, this is an uncomplicated storyline that war films need to deliver on more - there is potential for drama, thrills and every setting imaginable - but writers have a habit of wanting to convolute the story. The plot does lean heavily (and not in a convincing way) on coincidental events to help drive the drama and tension, which does create a plot that verges on entirely incredulous. All of the sets are immaculate, constructed to utilise the weather and the light to create an atmosphere. The sets must have all been built to preserve the idea of a ""one-take"" film, and this is 1917's downfall. The camera will follow the subject for 20 minutes at a time, navigating every obstacle that usually interferes with a shot, only to then pan behind an easily avoidable object like a rock. Why commit to this technique if you aren't doing it properly, or if you could do a better job with a few cuts? It baffles me that Mendes didn't realise cutting infrequently (such as in Birdman) would make a better-looking film than using unnatural frames to keep the one-shot integrity alive, and this sort of naivety is exactly why 1917 isn't as good as some people think. War films, in my opinion, should use unknowns for all roles apart from the leads. If you are trying to tell a story, it should not rely on A-list actors to prop up exposition, otherwise you lose the anonymity of war, and instead end up with a mismatch of famous faces. 1917 is guilty of this, with cameos rammed in left and right: Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Richard Madden, Andrew Scott and others all appear for less than 5 minutes each, but break all realism when they rock up on screen. What is even worse is that they weren't given the roles because they required great acting talent to perform - they were just the most well-known people looking for a job. By the end of 1917, I wondered if the plot really mattered - it becomes somewhat lost amongst the flashy visuals and the blaring soundtrack. It wasn't a more considered work than other war films, and I would rather watch Saving Private Ryan or Beasts of No Nation than this frankly over-celebrated piece of cinema.",6 I read a lot of reviews before I watched this movie and they all talked about how great this film is. It is about as good as Jackie Brown or Hateful Eight. All are very much forgettable. Unfortunately I think Quentin Tarantino is done. I will not pay to watch his next movie in a theater. The only thing I appreciated about this film is that it didn't follow the disgusting trend of displaying full frontal male nudity.,6 "I enjoyed the first movie. It had it's faults, like Newt's involvement in the story was largely irrelevant. But this movie was just ... boring. There wasn't much of a story. It was mostly concerned with world building, introducing new characters and new story threads. It was a bridge between the first movie and the third movie but it wasn't a movie in its own right. For some reason Credence returns (not much of a spoiler if you look at the cast list). The character isn't compelling or interesting and somehow, the more time spent on him the less interesting he was. I'm hoping number 3 will be better.",4 "I've never wanted a next season of a show so badly as I want this. This series completely surpassed expectations. I mean it's hard to go wrong with Steve Martin and Martin Short anyway, but I think this is the best thing they've ever been in. And everyone else is excellent with some great cameos. The dialogue and plotting is second to none, with twist after twist. I love Murder mysteries and this can teach all the others a thing or too even the British ones. It's a fantastic cross genre of mystery and dramedy. I'm not usually a binger so I took about a week to go through the series but now please bring on the next series immediately. It is insanely brilliant.",10 "Great suspense, interesting story and most of all unpredictable like most of supernatural stories. Definitely worth a watch if you into supernatural worlds.",10 "I really enjoyed this movie. The story was fun and took you through some twists and turns, but was also simple enough to understand. I feel it kept in line with the first movies atomoshpere and wasn't just a repeat of same story. Benoit Blanc was perfect in this one as well. They seemed to dive just a little deeper into his life, just enough to keep you wanting more! I enjoyed the stop in the middle of the movie to retell another view, it was unique and a fun twist. I'd guessed the true villain at the start, but didn't expect the motive or anything behind it, so I was still pleasantly sureprised. It was a fun movie and I hope to see more in the future!",9 It is good web series but i think story at end could be better Wanda defeated villian by doing thing which villian can do to her way before But excepting perfect story is foolish thing So overall it is good.,7 Black mirror is SUCH a good a show and a definite must watch. Every episode is different. I love this show and have loved it since it first came out it's just so upsetting when you wait so long for a new season and there are only 3 episodes!! I just want there to be more. I really reccomed you check out this show!,9 "With Judd Apatow in the producer's chair, and Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg as the writers, comedy fans are almost guaranteed for a hilarious, raucous experience. This comedy directed by Greg Mottola sets a funny and surprisingly realistic take on life as a high schooler and the utter debauchery that teenagers engage in to have the time of their lives while their days of drinking and partying like animals are numbered. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera play Seth and Evan (named after the writers), two high school seniors who have been the best of friends for a long time and are dealing with separation anxiety as they are anticipating their last school year together before moving off to separate colleges. With no party plans on their agenda, Seth and Evan are invited to a party hosted by their crushes Jules (played by Emma Stone) and Becca (played by Martha MacIsaac). But there is just one thing: they need booze. This is a problem since the fact that they are not 21 but luckily they get help from their geeky friend Fogell (played by Christopher Mintz- Plasse) who obtains fake IDs to mask themselves as of legal age. However, their mission to get to the party with booze becomes difficult when they face seemingly endless array of difficulties including Fogell's run-in with two amateur cops Officer Slater (played by Bill Hader) and Officer Michaels (played by Seth Rogen) who slow their plans down. Teen comedies typically come in two different categories, one is a comedy where teenagers are involved in situations that are plausible in reality but typically don't happen outside of Hollywood films. Then there is a small minority of comedies that veer closer to reality, and this film sits more toward this category. This film written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg who were only 13 years old at the time they wrote this, blossoms an insanely funny, clever, and unlike most comedies, an authentic take on high school experience thanks to its smart script. The plot sets a fair demonstration of just about everything a high school boy fantasized about when it came to making his way into the popular crowd, ranging from losing his virginity to the girl of his dreams, to getting his hands on booze, to going to a party for a wild night of drinking, sex, and dancing to loud music; many thing teens and adults can relate to. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera are both hilarious as their characters, and have plenty of funny (and vulgar) dialogue for the most of their time on screen. Christopher Mintz-Plasse is also quite funny and equally likable, especially during his moments with Seth Rogen and Bill Hader playing police officers. Their comedic chemistry together hits home and serves as a pinnacle of endless laughter as much as Jonah Hill and Michael Cera, plenty of vulgar sex jokes typical for the Judd Apatow fare here and there, most of the hit well while a few are a bit misfires. While these actors are funny, they also show a fair side of sweetness and smarts, particular when they come to clever terms with the girls of their dreams. Superbad is super-funny, super-smart, and show Jonah Hill and Michael Cera at arguably their comedic talents. This movie makes a good pick for any comedy fans looking for a funny and subversive experience in a high school setting. Of course, this film is probably not for everyone, particularly those who don't bode well with raunchy humor and vulgar- filled humor by teenagers. Otherwise, this film is worth watching.",9 Yeh movie vakai bohot bohot acchi h.... jabardast.. super duper hit....bohot achi acting ki h sbne,10 "It seems I've become too old. Certainly reading the positive reviews is for me confusing. The film has a fantastic cast but not even they could make this totally improbably story line work. Daniel Craig is easy to enjoy and he always seems relaxed on screen but he did have difficulty with his accent. I'm not American so this could be unfair but Dick van Dyke's cockney does spring to mind. Please understand, the acting was mostly excellent. It was just that the story was not sensible. Finally, it's only fair to say that one person shone above all the rest and that was Ana de Armas",5 "I remember loving this movie before, I thought the villain was really cool and it was just a blast. And that's all it is, a cool villain. Iron Man 2 is an incredibly fast film, but almost nothing of merit happens, it leaves you feeling empty. And some of the actors just don't do a good job, Gwyneth Paltrow especially, and the characters motivations were unclear and felt forced. That's all I have to say this film gets a C.",5 "Simply don't get why the rating is so high. The subject not new, it's slow, dialogues not witty at all. I wonder the whole time why is it so highly rated, am I missing something. Maybe it's made for people who have played this video game? Average rating 9.2 is the same as game of thrones and it can't compare. I've finished all episodes available at the moment and still don't get what the fuzz is about. Maybe not with high hopes then it's still considered a good show, fair at least. Been through the pandemic, it's really tiring to watch another similar topic show again, considered we've been reminded over and over for the past few years.",6 "I've seen some good war movies in my time. This was the worse ever. Wooden acting, predictable scenarios. I felt like I was watching a pair of high school aspiring actors. What a waste of time 👎",1 "It is definitely a good movie, but there are a few things that I didn't like. As you may know, Nolan presents the story of what happened when over 400k soldiers were trapped in Dunkirk during World War II and he decides to tell the story from three different perspectives: one from the ground at the beach, one from the air with a few pilots trying to keep away German planes from the beach and the fishermen that tried to help the soldiers to get away from the beach. The cinematography is outstanding. The film looks amazing and the sound mixing is beautiful, except for the fact that some sounds are extremely loud, like the sounds from the planes when they are hearing them from the ground. I get that those sounds need to be louder but those were exaggerated to the point that they were bothering me and every time they appeared I was hoping that those scenes were over as fast as possible, something that isn't good for any movie. Nolan decides to tell the three stories that are happening at different times and I think that that's where the movie struggles a little because at times I was confused because I didn't know exactly which characters we were looking at that moment. There was a time that it was daytime and at the next scene suddenly it was night time and then the next scene was daytime again and that threw me off a little. I didn't want to talk about the acting because we all know that in a Nolan film it is expected to be great, but I'm going to talk about a casting choice that had a lot of people worried and it's Harry Styles. I didn't expect he was going to be that good. He showed a lot of emotions and was great overall, especially in the scene where (no spoilers) they're inside of a boat they find. I would've liked the movie a little bit more if the narrative wasn't structured in that way, and some people liked it, which is fine, but I didn't. Is not that I hated it, it's just that they could've done it better. Either way, I recommend anyone who is reading this to go see it because it is worth your time.",7 "The episodes are fresh, imaginative and sometimes unpredictable. All featuring a great understanding of this universe and the characters in this long running franchise.",8 "You will enjoy this if you have read the books, they have done an amazing job. Chronology is messy, just like the books! Henry has done an amazing job as Geralt! Black people in witcher universe was not a thing until now, not a huge issue for me, but at the same time, why add it now? If you have not read the books however you will most likely end up confused, this is the show's biggest drawback and I hope they improve on it. Personally I understood everything, but many people, even those claiming to have read the books, struggle with the chronology. Me on the other hand just had a nerdgasm throughout all episodes.",9 A 5 year old would narrate a better story with a Godly character that massacres anyone and everyone.,1 "Not sure who this is aimed at - horror film or kids. One series was more than enough for me. Lots of shouting, questionable acting, predictable action.",1 What is this? Who decided this show had to be done? What do comedies form the 50's have to do with the MCU? Who is rating this series so high? Wandavision rises so many questions.,1 "The reason why GANGS OF WASSEYPUR will not immediately take its rightful place in the pantheon of Hindi cinema as one of the most daring, visionary, innovative and masterful films that Bollywood has ever produced, is because it is too long (at 2 hours 40 minutes) for kids looking for a fun way to while away a couple of hours, too gory for adults looking for ""wholesome family entertainment"", too complex even for movie critics who have to chew their pens all through the film, struggling to come up with catchy phrases to describe the film with, a film whose plot defies explanation, whose characters defy categorization, a film whose very existence, proves without a doubt, that Anurag Kashyap is not only a genius, but a mad, psychotic genius at that. GANGS OF WASSEYPUR is Anurag Kashyap's gift to the torrent-crazy cinema buffs of India. This film deserves (and requires) an audience prepared to give it the time and attention it needs, an audience which has gone in for the experience and nothing more, an audience which has gone in without moral inhibitions and an audience which can appreciate Kashyap's shattering of certain cinematic traditions and embracing of others, which makes the film such a delightful watch. It would be incongruous, having called the plot too complex to explain, if I tried to do just that (i.e. explain), and indeed the task exceeds my ability. The massive, epic behemoth of a screenplay details the decades-long blood feud between Sardar Singh (Manoj Bajpai) and Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia), making detours into the workings of the coal mafia of Dhanbad, train-robbers, badland politics, romance, seduction and infidelity. These detours have been criticized by many critics, calling it the reason why the film is self-indulgent, overlong and needlessly complex. But it is those little moments, not really important in progressing the plot (and in the hands of a more commercial-minded director, would probably have been snipped) but magical in exposition of character, like a slow-mo dream sequence where two people reciprocate their mutual attraction by putting on matching Ray-Bans, or another scene where Sardar and his mates humiliate Ramadhir and his son in a police station, and then gleefully walk into jail as punishment (which jail they later break out of). It has to be admitted, perhaps, that the editing scissors may have been sharpened in some places, but there is not much that can be cut off, which would not decrease the overall impact of the film. The film is a gargantuan experience, an epic in the truest sense of the term, an ambitious chronicle of the dusty hinterland of India over the period of six decades. And what's more, unlike most epics, not for one moment, did I realize how long the film was. It is that rare thing, a gripping epic thriller. The acting is spectacularly good, whether it be Richa Chadda as Sardar's long-suffering feisty wife, Reemma Sen as Durga the seductress, Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Sardar's Michael Corleone-esque son, or Piyush Mishra as Sardar's uncle. But the meatiest two roles in the film, played by Bajpai and Dhulia, are transcendent. Dhulia stuns as the powerful mine owner-to-politician, spitting out expletives with a quiet venomous voice, so that waves of hate seem to emanating from the big screen. And what to say about the erstwhile Mumbai ka Don, Bhiku Mhatre? With one of his most powerful roles in recent times, Manoj Bajpai makes every second of his screen time count, running the gamut of emotions with the ease of a maestro, from lust to rage. His eyes say it all. The behind-the-scenes departments are phenomenal here. Full marks to Sneha Khanwalkar's exquisite and innovative soundtrack, with songs like Hunter and Keh Ke Lunga (the movie's theme song, so to say), which break every tradition in Bollywood music, and complement the visuals beautifully. The production design by Wasiq Khan is also flawless, capturing the colours and textures of India's Hindi belt from the 1930s to the 80s. The mise en scene is spot on in every frame of the film, from the blood-spattered Kasai mohalla of the Qureshis to the white Ambassador of Ramadhir Singh. Kudos also the exquisite cinematography. Kashyap and his DOP Rajeev Ravi (No Smoking) create a restless roving camera, which swoops up and down and in and out in a delightful array of moves, some of which I have no idea how they did. The opening scene where a house is riddled with bullets and hand grenades, men poking rifles through holes in the doors and firing in every direction, is shocking in the immediacy of the violence. You are not just watching the scene, you are in it. The film is filled with cinematic homages from a Disco Dancer-era Mithun impersonator to the last scene of the film, which is uncannily similar to the scene from The Godfather where Sonny Corleone gets assassinated. The shadow of The Godfather looms large over this film, many characters fitting the moulds of Vito Corleone, Tom Hagen or Michael Corleone. There is even a blood-thirsty Virgil Sollozzo-type among the multitude of characters in the film. But unlike Sarkar, GANGS OF WASSEYPUR is not a Godfather remake. This is a film unique to India, a story of an Indian town in the lawless badlands. As a cinematic experience, it stands tall beside Coppola's classic and calls out to be considered an equal. At last, we have a Bollywood film (and make no mistake, this is a masala potboiler at its very best), that can flick the best of world cinema in the nuts. Now that is as good a reason to see the film as any. Long live the King of Alternative Bollywood, Anurag Kashyap!",10 "Unique animation, action-packed, great story, and likable characters. The story doesn't drag on either so that's a plus too. This series could've been marketed a lot better and it doesn't help that it's such a niche character, but the show does a good job of showing you why you should care about Hit-Monkey. 9/10.",9 "The acting by Pitt, Decaprio, Margot Robbie, and many of the ""hippies"" was really good. The plot, however, was really bad. The story was flat, not suspenseful, and mostly just boring. I generally like QT films, but if his name was not attached, this film would have never been produced. Don't waste your time, just watch Pulp Fiction again.",3 "Season 1 is the closest storyline to the books. Season 2 and 3 cover the high points but change parts of the storyline. Ysabeau is younger in the books, the Knights of Lazarus' role was greater and members different, and Matthew was much more protective of Diana in the book later in their relationship (to name a few). I enjoyed the Season 1 thoroughly. Season 2 the pace and story line felt off and Season 3 was shorter so it skipped much of the book hitting the main points and changing some of the story and which characters arcs. Overall, if you have not read the books, the three seasons are well down. If you have read the books, which are very good, you will likely recognize the missing or modified storylines.",6 "Could they not afford Russian actors ?? Why is the English people running about dressed as Austrian bakers. Ffs. Overhyped nonsense. This was as accurate as nothing.",3 "Difinitely not the best war movie I've seen, but this is a good movie. The movie looked very good and the scenes and shots were breathtaking. Sound and music really helped to provide an emotional experience. However, there were too many moment where it fell flat. The story could have been more interesting at points and it just became bland. But overall it is worth a watch and I was not disappointed but 8.5 rating is definitely overrated as usual this movie is a 6 to 7 maximum.",6 "It's just that, a family comedy. Not really what I look for in superhero movies, to be honest, but I don't know much about the original characters, so I can't say if it's faithful to the comic or just a different take of it. Still, it's an entertaining movie, even though it could easily loose 20 minutes or more, definitely too long for this kind of movie. Acting it's ok in general, but it really bettered me that Billy and Shazam didn't act and talked like the same person, the were really disjointed as a character that only changes his aspect. Story is ok (again, for a comedy) and effects are ok too but looking quite average on the designs... Nothing special or new, really, comedy and superheroes has been done before. Still, it's a watchable movie, easy going, I can see it can please a lot of people for a bit of relaxed fun.",6 "If you are used to the cheap laughs from The Big Bang Theory, it might feel wierd at first that there are no brain dead jokes and the writers actually wrote jokes which are full of humour and genuine. The laughs are fewer but they are genuine. I forgot when I laughed this hard.",9 "This was such a stupid movie. A waste of time. I don't see how anyone likes this. The acting was pathetic and the story was lame. OK they say I have to put 10 lines for this movie but I don't event think it is worth 10 lines to say how bad. Everyone was so polite and come on that just isn't how life is. Is this how we are supposed to believe the people of fargo are, ""Oh yes Mrs Police officer let be be so kind to you"" And the cop, no I don't know the names I could watch this piece of drivel, was so kind and plot to everyone. This is one of the worst films ever. I would rather sit thru a Jeav Claude Van Damme film and I hate him too. Soon this film will be forgotten, like titanic, and we can move on with our lives. It will not be taught in film classes but will be shown late night on USA network cause the rights will be so cheap they can show it over and over, like Porkeys 2. Hey I shouldn't insult Porky's like that, I'm sorry. Oh by the way if this makes anyone mad and they comeback with a comment about a misspelled work or a typo, then I have proved my point on who likes the film, Jackasses!!!!!!!!!!!",1 "Dragon Ball Z invented the shonen formula. If you watched My Hero Academia, or One Piece, or Naruto, or even Death Note, you've watched the spawn of this one. By today's standard is not really good. After the Frieza's arc, things start to get bad. It was a manga without a clear direction, in which choices were made on a weekly schedule, based on character popularity and editor's choices. It is a product of its time. Judging it by today's standard wouldn't be fair. The show itself suffers from bad pacing due to the fact that was made with the manga, so it had to wait for it. The ""Kai"" version is far better in this regard. Music-wise, I think that the original score is much better than the american dub.",9 "This is a scary movie, but makes no sense and just draws random events together. Not realistic at all. I get it is a low budget film, but they could have spent more time making sure the movie flowed without trying too hard to make it scary. Definitely a disappointment. I did appreciate the general idea if the movie, the actors all did a great job. I loved the aching and the general idea of the movie. It would have been way better if they wouldn't have turned it into a science fiction halfway through showing the characters as old people, I think all watchers got the idea of Riley being trapped with spirits without the spectacle. It would have saved money on movie production, as well.",1 "If I hadn't recently watched so many videos on modern film criticism, I probably wouldn't even have noticed the issues in this show, as the main characters and the visual presentation are charming enough to keep your attention away from the flaws. However, once I had become aware of those flaws, I couldn't unsee them. The main character is perfect at everything she does. She is supposed to be a teenager but she possesses a set of skills to cover several lifetimes. There's an old issue with poorly written main characters of action movies. Main characters need to be vulnerable. If they are indestructible powerhouses then you can't associate with them or feel any sort of worry for them. Wednesday is especially indestructible and undefeatable when it comes to men (with 1 or 2 exceptions), many of whom are given the role of either bumbling idiots, traitors or otherwise evil. I don't normally go looking for these social issues in films and shows, but I couldn't not notice it here. I guess this is just the social state of things in Hollywood these days. However, this attitude actually does fit the show fairly well, since it's a show primarily about teenage girls, written for teenage girls. You know, girl power and all that... Finally, the story is not that well written. A good story with twists and turns is one where you can look back in the end and see that all the pieces fit together, but with this show, the various episodes are fairly independent. The story serves the scenes rather than the other way around. The writers could've made anyone to turn out to be the main villain in the end. There are a few times where characters just spout exposition at you. This show is primarily an exercise in style. Cute characters do cute things and everything looks cool and stylish. In my opinion that style hides the lack of quality in content.",6 "I don't understand the hype for this predictable, generic action movie. It wasn't bad per se - but it was very run-of-the-mill for me - and definately not deserving of the extremely high praise it is receiving. I found myself rolling my eyes everytime there was a ""twist"" which could be seen a mile away and I caught myself checking the time to see when it would end. Perhaps the worst offense of all is the way that this film distrusts the audience to handle its formulaic and simplistic plot (even resorting to show us a flashback of something we saw just a few minutes earlier.) I see nothing here that hasn't already been done better in other movies - and I just don't understand the praise it is receiving.",5 "The movie is too good, it is not that deep or that close to reality but still I totally enjoyed it. It was great to see the that how a different perspective could lead to bad things. Every time you see the movie you get a different view of the situation, in this movie, no one is correct or I should say that everyone is wrong as well as right in their own way. It's awesome fights sequences are great but only one complaint, which is, I felt that the final fight could have been better, because in the competition 'DC's Batman Vs Superman: dawn of justice' proved to be an underated master piece and it's final fight between batman and superman was actually something that gives you chills but the one in this movie was not up to the mark. Again Marvel's VFX team did an awesome job in this movie and also the acting done by the cast was flawless. Talking about directory, this movie is directed in a simple way and is easy to understand. You can't expect anything in the artistic perspective of this movie, it not an a artistic masterpiece and also the tone of the movie was not constant, in some scenes the tone goes a little dark while in some it becomes very light, and also the unwanted comedy ruins some serious moments. And another thing that I noticed is that the movie did no justice to some characters, like Spiderman, Hawkeye and war machine.The biggest was Spiderman, even after having a character like him they only gave him a very little screen time and also they introduced him as a sidekick, which totally does not justifies the character of Spiderman. Overall it is a good movie, must watch!",7 "The biggest problem with this show really...is the storytelling...the method of storytelling... the flashbacks time jumps don't work for it...you can't help but think there could have been a good story here...there could be a good story behind all the messy garbage... but i guess we'll never know.",6 "Okay, I did like the movie in general, but Floppy Disks???? Hollywood can think that the rest of the world ain't up to date, but come on... Floppy Disks?"" Really??????? You freaking disappoint me...",7 Looks amazing but wasn't enough to make up for the horrible script and terrible acting. Entirely too predictable and PC.,3 "Of the many Marvel superhero movies that have come out in the past few years, the first Captain America was my favorite. While this sequel lacks the Indiana Jones-ish vibe of the first one, it still has that human-scaled quality that is missing from the other movies, which often emphasize spectacle over quiet, human moments. This is not to say the movie doesn't have some absolutely terrific action sequences, but rather to say that, unlike something like The Avengers, this movie takes time to breathe, let's us get to know the characters, and seems more like a movie than a special effects sizzle reel. There are some issues. Sometimes the bad guys don't do things in the most logical way. More notably, they are a level of evil that comes across as cartoonish and ludicrous. But it's a silly movie no matter which way you slice it, so you can't complain too much about the particular quality of the silliness. The cast is quite good, it has a solid number of jaw-dropping moments, and while I might not like it quite so much as the first one I do like it better than the non-Captain America films in this series.",8 "I honestly thought I have to see what the hype was all about but I'd go when the buzz has dies down but after not being able to get the ""I'm just Ken"" song out of my head for a couple of weeks I gave in and I'm glad I did...I really enjoyed it! This movie isn't just aimed at kids in fact I would say it was definitely more for adults funny enough. Ryan stole the performance for me as Ken I looked more forward to his scenes then anything else. He captured so much in his looks and expressions that he totally steals the show and barbie actually felt secondary to me which is ironic as Ken always felt second. It could have been named Ken actually I loved knowing more about him then Barbie. Margot Robbie was beautiful and definitely captured Barbie she is stunning. Will Farrel plays the same character I feel though I love him but anyone could have played his role as boss of Mattel. I would watch it again for sure and I would actually love it if ""I'm just Ken"" wins best song at the Oscars and Ryan gets to sing it. Overall I can't find much wrong with it my only complaint is the real world I found a little bit boring I much preferred the dreamworld. Also the Alan character was great I wish we saw more of him. I definitely highly recommend this movie it's an enjoyable watch and a great pick me up smile on face movie.",8 This has got to be the best supernatural TV series ever keep them coming dont stop . I hope season 2 is already in the making,10 "This movie was ungodly underwhelming and did not in any way meet the horror genre. The movie is very predictable and after half of the movie you know exactly what's going to happen next. I'm not happy with the movie and any part that seems interesting is over so fast you don't even realize it happened. As somebody who enjoys watching movies frequently, I was upset to see this after buying tickets and seeing good reviews. They need to try harder, there are no actors you will recognize and the only portion that contains ""comedy"" is not very comical and sounds like jokes a child would make, thank you.",2 Judges are not good for this show they are so rude to the contestants they demoralised them. They act like they are the richest businessman they only know about business.,1 Pretty cool opening scene but after that complete garbage. This was so bad. Apparently Netflix approves a budget of 150 mio USD for a script that could have been written by a 6 year old.,2 "I just can't in good spirit rate this anything higher than 6. First 20 minutes were basically straight action with no disposition or meaning, story picks up only after second half. Also humor falls flat big time. Pure action film with nothing else to offer.",6 "The movie opens with a teaser scene at a seaside Japanese castle and we know we'll return to this scene (bookends) at the end of the film, 2 and 1/2 hours later. This period of time is not unlike swimming underwater from one end of a pool (opening scene) to the other end of the pool (return to same scene). Sure the pool has some heavy orchestra music pumped into it, that by film's end becomes a croaking brass band that you're not sure is a surface foghorn or a submarine's dive warning, but you're never given a break from the plot/action to catch your breath and acquaint yourself with the characters. The ""mysteries"" about Leo's wife are not difficult to figure out, but why he is so devoted to this pseudo-serial killer is. And I'm sorry, but I can't get worked up over Leo's faceless kids. I found Leo's status as an internationally most-wanted fugitive hard to swallow, as well as Watanabe's omnipotence. And I can't be the only one that had trouble understanding Watanabe when his face was in the carpeting or when he was talking to the French actor. Strong accents. I had to come up for air after the 1 hour mark because that level of intensity isn't sustainable and I only occasionally dipped my head beneath the surface for short periods, thereafter. I will give kudos to Gordon-Levitt for putting up with all of the flying-harness stunt work which served the ooh/aah factor more than the story. And he would be the best choice if a biopic is ever done on John Carradine. When the credits do finally scroll, you'll have to decide if all of your attention and brain drain was worth it because it's questionable whether the director feels you deserve an ending.",7 I saw this movie recently and would not recommend it. The plot is confusing and hard to follow. I found the movie to be way too long and way too boring. This movie probably appeals most to science fiction buffs. Both my twenty year old son and I were not impressed--we couldn't wait for the movie to end.,3 """Barbie"" should be the only movie I can give 10/10 this year. Both the rhythm of the plot, the tribute to the toy are perfect. Also, from feminism and women's own awakening to the awakening of self is the perfect theme. The plot in the middle of the movie is also very funny and the musical cooperation makes the whole comedy level of the movie to a higher level. By the way, the clothes, buildings, stage properties is a great tribute to toys. In the video, you can see the different Barbies is or was sold in the market, and each Barbie is very distinctive and easy to identify. Let's hope Mattel releases more and better Barbie in the coming years. I really hope you guys could come to cinema and see this movie.",10 Amazing acting by srk... What a msg about humanity...,10 "As someone that works in the nuclear industry in the UK, we're taught about the effects of criticality incidents and accidents. Having been born in 1971, I was in secondary school in 1986 when this happened, so already knew a fair bit about it from stuff I'd learned over the years. I can honestly say that this series has sparked numerous conversations at work and talking with the ""experts"" this is about as accurate a depiction of the effects on the human body, from radiation, as you're ever likely to see. And to some extent, it's still been ""dumbed down"" to make it easier viewing... The 1980's Soviet Union, and their distrust of EVERYONE is scarily portrayed. Ignore the British, northern accents of the large majority of the actors, and instead, watch one of the most horrific, scary, stories, unfold. And never forget, this is a TRUE story; this REALLY HAPPENED! It has opened the eyes of some of the trainees we have to the dangers of working with radioactive substances - one of the most dangerous substances known to man. Enjoy!!",9 "Considering how horribly disappointing the final season of Game of Thrones was, I'm shocked I actually ended up watching House of the Dragon. Since it's a finished work though and the two incompetent people to blame for the mess that was GoT's final season are not involved, I gave it a chance. I was hoping it would remove some of the bad feelings GoT's ending left me with. And it did... as long as I don't think about how 90% of what we saw on GoT had no purpose really and most things left unanswered. Then it hit me, the pure genius of such a terrible last season of Game of Thrones... it makes everything GoT related better by comparison. Honestly, I probably would be more critical of HotD if GoT had a well-written final season. I'm giving 6/10 because season one was definitely a good story and worth watching but not sure if it's because the bar has been set so low for GoT fans who hated the final season. I'm not willing to give them my trust for the full series just yet. If season 2 holds up, I'll update.",6 "So freaking fun, and dark, and twisted! Just pure adult entertainment that reminds you of your youth but on steroids.",8 "I went to see The Dark Knight yesterday. My expectations were rather high after reading the usercomments and ratings at IMDb. But movie did not even get close to the sky high ratings it has been awarded. Shortly described - the Joker character, played by deceased Heath Ledger is acting at is best. No doubt about that. BUT the rest of the movie, the plot etc. is only average and what you could expect. I went to a mid-day play and halfway through the movie i was almost about to catch a nap.. i was NOT especially tired when entering the cinema. When people are talking about a world class movie here, they are way wrong!! I could mention a bunch of way better movies but if you expect to go watch a good/average action based movie which is 30 min too long and if you are well rested - then go see The Dark Knight. (I am not a lonely wolf on this one as 4 of my friends who went to see it afterwards, totally agrees with me) 6/10 nothing more!! - go see for yourself.",6 "DAREDEVIL, one of the most underrated superheroes, this is definitely the Dark Knight of MARVEL, Ironically... Daredevil syncs more with Bats than Batman himself..He can't see, but has great senses, And no gadgets..Raw combats..Plot is definitely on the plus side, with all the performances fallin right in place except a few characters which are given relatively more space..but yeah..that sounds surreal at times though..Cinematography does wonders with black background mostly..AND the presence of Mr. Fisk makes this series intense and make our Hero feel weak at times..which is a must to boost the adrenaline in the plot..Overall..Totally thrilling and entertaining.. Do watch it.. won't be disappointed..Don't expect one liners like other MARVEL Superheroes do..It's a classic soul with a modern skin..Keep Kickin!!",9 This movie is for someone who loves to surf through the conjuring universe. Do not expect much. Just a good horror film with enough scary scenes.,5 "Stumbled across this show and now i'm binge watching it. Strong cast, fun premise, well written. A lot more ""adult"" language than i expected, but i love it. There's probably some good shows to compare it to but i cant think of any right now - maybe kinda sorta similar in feel to Firefly or even Guardians of the Galaxy except set on Earth and no aliens and with lots more ""fuck"" and ""rip his dick off"" lines. So maybe not similar after all :) Im rambling. Good show so far (im 3 episodes in) and i highly recommend it",8 "Panchayat by tvf is a heartfelt comedy drama series with authentic comedy and drama based on reality. The story concentrates on how an educated urban man Abhishek tries to settle down with his new job in panchayat of a averagely privileged small town 'Phulera' having backward mentality residents. The series of 8 episode exploits the little heart felt moments and connects us with rural reality with a mix of comedy and drama, and how the protagonist Abhishek deals with the illiterate mentality of villagers with his impractical ego. I find this series entertaining yet a one time watch.",7 "I can only assume that this film has such a good rating on here because its release was well-timed. The film is at its best when displaying a mother's grief. McDormand is the best part and she rightly got the Oscar. The film had the good fortune to be topical as the #Metoo movement and the fall of Weinstein occurred right as it was released. On first pass-and in that context-I am sure the film plays better but watching it today in 2021 it is a deeply frustrating film. McDonough's story plays out like a morality play with a dark comedic tone. The three main characters-all anchored by strong performances-bounce off each other as victim/villain and the film expertly plays around with your sympathies. But the story is not American or one of Missouri. I mean that the setting is only used as a mere backdrop; McDonough seems uninterested in and completely misunderstands race, racism in America. It is why Dixon's (a great Rockwell) brutality towards black people is only used as a plot mechanic. The film tries to deal with too many issues in American society and the juggling act proves too much for the Irish McDonough. It may have been forgiven for the film to miss the nuances of American society but the film plays out like a ""wotcher terrible things happen in rural colonies, cheerio!"" take. Missouri-even rural deep red Missouri-is more Midwestern than Southern. In the film Ebbing plays much more like a Southern town. Ebbing seems to be exactly the same place as In The Heat of Night's Sparta. But no Mississippi and Missouri are different places. Worse of all the film wasn't filmed in Missouri and you can tell immediately. The film should not have used flashpoints in American society if it was only interested in using America as a backdrop. This should have been Three Billboards...Kenmare, Ireland. Write what you know!",5 "I read Mark Kermode's glowing review and decided this would make a good Sunday afternoon movie. Ralph Fiennes performance is as unexpected as it is sublime but did this movie have me laughing out loud? No, it was just too silly to be funny. Entertaining yes but funny? No, despite fantastic performances from outstanding celebrity actors, it just missed my funny bone at every opportunity. Tony Revolori was outstanding in the role of Zero the resourceful lobby boy who is befriended and becomes the protégé of Gustave H legendary concierge at the famous European hotel. Cast in the role of 'straight' guy to Gustave's rather slapstick character, he plays it dead pan throughout. I gave it 5 out of ten because although entertaining, I didn't laugh out loud once despite expectations. So as entertaining if somewhat unusual fiction 8/10 but as a comedy 5/10",5 "Honestly I would think that these hopeful/positive ratings were for season 1 and with the HOPE that they will continue to try. But this show just failed. Fell flat on its face. I didn't know much about the Witcher, never played the games or red the books. But I certainly never want to now after this show. Its meandering, boring, and just all over the place. No depth. Geralt is kind of cool but thats IT. I really tried to get into this crap of a show... Season 2 was way, way worse. It was unwatchable. Sad really; I do like fantasy. I enjoyed The Wheel of Time 100 times more than this trash. No idea how its rated so highly.",3 "You feel Steven Spielberg in this movie, but it doenst get the depth of his usual and well know movies. Visually excellent! The whole story is around gaming and an attempt to reach the younger ones. But gaming is gaming and movies are movies - to mix it it ends in Ready player one - not bad, not good. Something in between.",6 "Boring, with dialogue and storyline that goes nowhere. Questions are never answered, only followed by new questions. There´s no progress, people just go around looking gloomy. And, is it realistic that a kid who gets 10 million dollars doesn't even look happy. Well that's the logic you experience in this crap fest. If you want to see a really good series about computers and devs, take a look at ""Halt and Catch Fire"". Real people, real story, real entertainment.",1 This series only tries to force the idea of coaching oriented preparation at every chance it gets. It is meant to psychologically manipulate students.,2 "This Marvel series begins in a rather peculiar and curious way. The series acts as a tribute to different comedy series from different eras. He does it in an interesting way as the series becomes a rather unusual mix. We see a Wanda who tries to continue with her life, but living in a bubble created by herself. The fascinating thing here is that she is understanding more about her powers and also about her past. Everything that led her to become what she is, and here her transformation is completed. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany are the highlights of the series, they make a very good couple with their characters. WandaVision is a series that begins as a fun comedy and then offers the dose of special effects that are never lacking in Marvel installments. My rating for this series is 8/10.",8 "It's kind of fairy tale, but isn't. Songs were good, plot was not. Might its movie by Hollywood standarts, but not convincing.",5 "I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Jenna Ortega as the title character is quite stunning - she carries off the macabre, expressionless and forbidding Wednesday Addams with an aplomb that is nothing short of superb. I can't fault her at all. And I loved the students at Nevermore, especially Wednesday's room-mate Enid - a slightly ditzy blond werewolf who (for almost the entire series) hasn't had a complete ""change"", much to her own (and her parents') disappointment. The last episode is a huge madcap whirl of events, mis-identification, confusion, and all at an almost frantic pace. The other episodes were never slow, but they seemed to be more disciplined than the last. And the final identification of the monster and its master seemed a bit unfair as there were no hints during the series that might point to them. On the other hand, the resurrected Joseph Crackstone, with his inane cackle, is great fun, even if he seems like a copy of Emperor Palpatine from the first Star Wars trilogy. Given that my ""Addams Family"" experience is based purely on the original TV series - I haven't seen any of the later versions - I didn't like Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams. He's a poor comparison with the great John Astin (who is still alive at the time of my writing), and plays a somewhat gross Gomez instead of the madly suave characterization of Astin. Thankfully he's only in a few episodes. On the other hand, Catherine Zeta-Jones does a fine Morticia Addams. These two complaints aside, this was totally good fun, and a very worthy addition to the Addams Family narrative. I'm now awaiting the second season with impatience!",8 "The second installment in the Wizarding world saga is the worst amongst both fantastic beasts films and all harry potter films. The film is slow and boring. Some silly, unnecessary scenes magnanimate your boredom. Good visuals and yet very less action. It starts with a good thestral chase scene and from there on everything goes down the hill. There is no thrill, no excitement, no good suspense created at any point. The film focuses more on locations, attires, soundtracks and visuals rather than a good plot or action sequence. The end battle scene was dull and disappointing, in fact the end battle is usually where you expect thrill and bombastic action for a good amount of duration. The title as well is entirely irrelevant to the films content. Which crime exactly? There was no such crime in the film. Also hardly any new beasts introduced, and hardly any existing beasts brought into action. The film felt like the director wanted to provide Harry Potter nostalgia and in order to do so he simply threw in some Harry Potter references into his magical cauldron and vola made the film!!! Visuals - 8/10 Action - 3/10 Drama - 4/10 Storyline - 2/10 Acting - 6/10",5 "I generally like Dramas that concentrate on real life events or movies about triumphing over difficult circumstances but I believe this movie reduced everything to a TV movie of the week mentality. The main character was unlikable, I didn't understand how his student was even mildly attracted to such a big doofus with no social skills and it was paint by number plotting from start to finish. Guy meets girl, acts like an ignoramus (but he's a genius) and they conveniently get married, he starts having problems and BAB, she's pregnant. He starts acting strange and throwing stuff and she gets scared. Give me a break. I've seen this countless times over and over again. This trivializes Mental Illness to a point where I was rolling my eyes and waiting for the credits. Its too bad that after years of working in the Business that Ron Howard doesn't know the difference between a contrived and cliched piece of work. the music was cranked to pull on our emotions all at the right spots. The performances were schmultzy and overly melodramatic. And this won a Golden Globe? Further proof that Hollywood is corrupt. Pop Cinema at it's best.",6 "The movie dives right into action which sets the drive of the entire film. It is action packed and there is never a dull moment. As well, the movie is a cohesive whole and is very well made. Usually with these many characters and A-list actors, there is unequal screen time between each, and the narrative of each character is separate from each other. An example would be to compare this to Batman v Superman. Even with just two characters the narratives could not interweave, and were very distinct from the other. In Captain America: Civil War, even though the overall narrative mainly focuses on the dispute between Iron Man and Captain America, the rest of the cast isn't left out. Everyone gets screen time and though some inevitably get more than others, it isn't noticed much in the context of the film. So much like how the narrative is about team segregation, the film itself did very well in creating a cohesive, well-rounded portrayal of all characters. This is also probably because most of the actors and actresses are reprising their roles and know their characters inside out. Thus, the acting and chemistry between them aided in creating this cohesive unit of the film. Everyone played their parts well and I was completely absorbed into the world of the movie. The action scenes and visual effects are great once again. Marvel films have established that they know how to create visually stunning action effects. The action too shows some impressive fighting scenes. Both Black Widow and Sharon Carter display kick-ass moves. Overall, this film is greatly entertaining and the narrative well established. The appearance of Zemo (Daniel Bruhl) is a bit sudden and random, but in the overall context is a good addition and necessary to the plot.",9 "For someone who doesn't know a thing about THE WITCHER game or books...I have to say this show was lacking. The production values are strong...but the story is very undeveloped for someone coming into this with no knowledge. Henry Cavill is good to watch..but his one-line, deep-voice, Batman-like delivery doesn't work for me. (Maybe this is how the game is). The swish sound of the swords are very animated and sounds like a video game. That was my first hint to google this and see if this was based on a game. So for followers of the game I'm sure they are thrilled with this adaptation. For someone who just tuned in to see a well developed show...it's quite lacking.",6 Not sure how I would rate this movie if I had not read the book. They did a pretty good job of adapting the story of a very complicated book. I just could never picture Jennifer Lawrence in the lead. It did keep my attention.,7 "Inspired by the recent news about Tobey's likely return to playing the web-slinger in the MCU's Spider-Man 3, I rewatched this film. An IMDb score of 7.3 for this film is one of the biggest injustices I've seen on this website. In my opinion this is THE definitive and THE best superhero film of all time. This trilogy of films is my childhood. I've loved Spider-Man as long as I can remember and he has always been my favourite superhero. These films came out at just the right time when I was growing up so watching this films just brings it all back. And that's not to say my judgement of this film is blinded by nostalgia- this is genuinely an amazing film that holds up in the present day. The story is an interesting one, with Peter grappling with the personal consequences of being Spider-Man and feeling the subsequent effects, all whilst he fights the best Spider-Man villain ever to be put on screen, Alfred Molina's brilliantly menacing Doc Ock. The sequence in which Spider-Man returns and fights Doc Ock on the train is for me, the best superhero fight scene of all time and my favourite cinematic sequence ever. You can feel every punch, every wince and every scream- something that unfortunately, today's comic book flicks are devoid of. And it's not just all action and no heart- when it wants to tug on the heart strings it yanks them. The scene with Uncle Ben is so painful, raw and acted to perfection. It makes me tear up every time. There's also the usual Raimi campiness, with quips and funny moments giving the film a real charm about it. All of this is underlined by Danny Elfman's brilliant, bombastic and booming score that really does sound like the audio equivalent of a comic book. This film is a 120 minute thrill ride with heart-stopping action and heart-wrenching drama. The best superhero film ever made and my favourite film of all time.",10 "Streaming services are constantly scouring the globe to find new offerings that will appeal to a wide array of audiences. Sometimes they are even presented as ""Originals"". Some make it and have global appeal because they cross cultures, others do not. This is one that is so badly produced, acted, edited and scripted, that it will only have local appeal to a very specific audience in India.",3 """The Godfather: Part II"" is seen, by many, as the greatest sequel in movie history and one of the best films of all time. Some even think it's better than ""The Godfather"". As for me, who am I to argue?! The film IS great--and deserved the Best Picture Award and its placement at #3 on IMDb's Top 100 list! And, since there are over 500 reviews for it on the site, I can't think of why I am even bothering to review it. After all, what's one more review that sings its praises?! The acting, writing, direction and entire production is perfect. What more can you say? If you do see the film (and you MUST), try to watch the version that combines the first two films into one--and adds additional story to make it one huge and perfect epic. You simply can't be a film buff without seeing this picture.",10 "Special Effects don't make automatically make a good movie. It Looked incredible but the story was so boring, and the characters felt two dimensional which is ironic. Unfortunately the run time is so long it really gets tiring, potential good performances from the cast feel less important than certain shots being made. There is too much focus on revolving a scene around certain things being shown than, rather than giving the main characters time to build on relationships, which is weird considering how long the movie is! No doubt this will be good for improving vfx for future films but why are we valuing films like this over well made, character developing movies with great stories...?",3 "One of the most entertaining TV series around, at the moment. It gives us a real look at how superpowers would be used in today's world. Karl Urban as Billy Butcher is a pleasure to watch.",9 "Death note has to be one of the best and also most disappointing animes ever in my personal opinion, episodes 1-25 are so good and definitely binge worthy 9/10 easily! However after that I felt like the show took a serious downfall in quality and story with the characters, I don't put spoilers or to much information in my reviews but it felt like characters became less smart and more boring then in the first part of the show, second part of death note gets a 7/10 Overall I did really enjoy the show in the beginning but less towards the end but the second half isn't horrible it's just not great 8/10 a great show for anyone even new comers to anime!",8 When you rely on the CGI wow factor to impress the easily impressible... Venom happens! Me write script better...,3 "I never really like when a movie gets labeled a ""defining chapter"" of movie making or gets named a classic just cause it's different. Sometimes it is sometimes it's not. Clockwork orange is one of those which i felt was garbage as a movie. Pulp fiction is another. Sure, it has speed, weird characters and slick lines and stories all over the place. For me weird isn't always good as there is no red line, no real story to follow. I don't even find this movie very cool even though it might be worth a watch just cause it's like no other movie. But the story, the substance of the movie is very thin. Tarantino is for me not a very good director. Sure, some of his movies are OK, but mostly he overdo it on many occasions, which makes it hard to takes them seriously. It's no real drama, no action, no thriller, just something put in a blender it seems. If u want a true story, a movie with substance and an experience richer after wards, this is not a movie to get anywhere near.",2 "A rip roaring good time, featuring a knockout lead performance by Janelle Monae. Like ""Knives Out,"" ""Glass Onion"" manages to weave some sharp social commentary into its murder mystery, but it does it so deftly that it never feels like we're being lectured. The mystery isn't even really much of a mystery, but Rian Johnson makes that fact the film's main point (we let a bunch of white noise distract us from obvious truths), so the big reveal at the end feels more like a punchline than a cop out. And anyway, like all good murder mysteries, the fun is had in the journey rather than the destination, and that's where this movie excels. A major plot twist mid-way through the movie immediately makes you want to watch it again from the beginning to see what clues were dropped along the way that you might have missed. We need more movies like this right now -- films that remind us how fun going to the movies can be but that also have a brain in their head. Grade: A.",8 "Matt Murdock/ Daredevil is played by Charlie Cox. He is a really boring actor to watch. He looks way too short to be Daredevil. There is nothing much to watch when he is on the screen. Most of the fights happen in the dark, so it is not very exciting to watch the dark forms fighting in the dark. Wow, I never liked Foggy Nelson in the comic books, and he is even more boring and ponderous in a live-action TV series. Add in the moping Karen Page, played by the incredibly annoying Deborah Ann Woll, and every episode seems like it takes three hours. Deborah Ann Woll has a great ability to suck everything in a scene so it is about her. I guess that is her acting style, but Daredevil is not about her. She is supposed to be a background character who is usually acting as a drag on Daredevil. In True Blood she did the same thing. She was a third-string character but every time she was in a scene she managed to whine the loudest. Foggy Nelson's role is also way too large in this TV series. Elden Henson has a great fat face which fits the Foggy Nelson role perfectly. In the comic books, he was just around to do Matt Murdock's work, and to provide a front for a law office. Foggy used to show up in the comic books about once a year, not constantly. Daredevil is 98% talking and moping and a tiny amount of action. This is a totally boring TV series.",3 "I just love McDormand's face when she says that line - she takes a beat, her facial expression doesn't change, and then it comes out of her mouth like she's ordering a hamburger. Brilliant. This is one of my all time favorite movies. I saw it the first day it opened in New York City, and I loved it. I've seen it again since. What strikes me during repeated viewings is the spareness of it. Fargo moves very quickly and there isn't anything peripheral in it, no fillers. It's just a great movie and a great story with great characterizations. Wow, when I put it that way, it sounds like anyone could do it. Would that were true. There's no point in going through the story. I'll just write that Frances McDormand is sensational, as is everyone in the film - she and William H. Macy are standouts. You can really feel his desperation. There are so many great scenes - when Marge thinks she's going to barf, the scene with Macy referenced above, her little lecture to the criminals, the stamp discussion. And who can forget her old friend from high school? That scene is priceless! I also love the endless expanse of snow when the search for the money begins. This film was a real high point for me. It is a true masterpiece done by two of our most imaginative filmmakers and starring one of our finest actresses. What can I say, except I'm heading out to the wood chipper.",10 First of all the movie was paisa wassool what a great movie man and this movies action sequence is wow I have no words top notch action and wait wait wait until the post credit scene because there is a bigger bang I'm short this movie is must watch 🔥,10 "High sir, High sir, High sir. Great movie. A must watch in theatres.",9 "The franchise of Harry Potter comes with the second instalment in the name of Fantastic Beasts : Crimes of Grindelwald. The movie starts from where it left out from the first part. The escape sequence of Grindelwald is choreographed nicely. Apart from the CGI, I found this movie is little engaging. The screenplay would have been better. However, the climax makes up to the lagging and leaves audience with a anticipation of what will happen next between Dumbledore and Grindelwald.",7 Seen almost two episodes and it's a big letdown. Never saw the Thrones show or read these books but there are too many story lines going to keep me interested. The Witcher character gets about 10 minutes per episode and the rest is filled with stories to keep young girls and interested.,6 "But the movie was just plain boaring, formulaic and predictable. Fair acting and little character development.",4 "Whoever compared this to Breaking Bad and Mad Max should be ashamed of themselves. Breaking Bad was a cutting edge series and Mad Max a cutting edge movie for it's time. This is road kill by comparison. I like spoofs, campy content, dark, easy watches with intense action. They don't have to have intricate plots, the best actors Hollywood has to offer, great cinematography or tight continuity. However, this follows every C watch from the SYFY channel. I have no idea if it accurately follows the game so this may be a reason some find it appealing. However, I have watched several series that were based on games, ones I never played, and they were head and shoulders better than this. I get that people have different tastes and I can usually see what someone else might find appealing that I don't, but not this time. This is in line with crass content like JackAss, with a thin plot line, which is repulsive in my view. Even my husband didn't like it so that gives it one star.",1 "The word that comes to mind is hollow. There is too much CGI, too much violence and not enough interesting characters in our introduction to this world. The actors do well with the the material they have but they do not portray characters that I want to see more of. There is no depth to this world like there was in Game of Thrones. I will continue to watch for a while but there is no sense of mystery here, nothing to foreshadow or keep the audience invested in figuring out. So if you watched Game of Thrones just for the battle and sex scenes (and the dragons) this show may be for you. But if you loved the storytelling and world creation (of the first seasons anyway), I'm afraid House of the Dragon is not going to satisfy.",5 "I know He's not the director, but I'm going to make my review as if he is the director. I apologize to Mr. Advait in advance. We already know the producer company. Aamir Khan plays in another movie social aspect is very strong. I don't know anybody in Bollywood who cares more about social issues as much as him. Besides, he handles the subjects he deals with perfectly. In this film, we can see that women can stand against what is drawn to them and impose as fate. Moreover, in the eyes of Westerners, under the burqa, which is almost identified with the terrorist image, there is a message that there may be a person who is cute, full of life and can play guitar. Why didn't Insia thank her boyfriend and Aamir Khan?",9 "The Queen's Gambit tells the story about the life of a young female prodigy and the various challenges she has to face in her journey to become the best in the world, in a game dominated by men: Chess. This series belongs to what I call ""The Women Empowerment"" genre, a theme in film or tv which is gaining quite a lot traction in the recent years. You've probably seen this story before. However, what makes Queen's Gambit unique is the lead is not your typical role model, Elizabeth Harmon, who is very much flawed. This characterization is well written and added depth to her, making Beth Harmon's life interesting throughout the show. Anya Taylor-Joy managed to embody the highs and lows of her character perfectly. The cinematography is a visual treat. Its Cold War setting pops up in every scene and oozes with style. Each shot is well-lighted and well-directed. And, I can't help but be amazed with the level of detail that goes into the set design and hair and costume. Also, the use of contemporary music during that time added authenticity to the show. One of the reasons why book adaptations work better as a series than as a film is that there is enough time to flesh out characters. Queen's Gambit took advantage of that. However, this one being adapted from a fictiob by Walter Tevis, I think it lessens its impact of what could have been an awe-inspiring tale if it were based on a real life chess genius (according to the author, the inspiration is GM Bobby Fischer). Still, kudos to the show's creators for impeccably weaving its message to the storyline. Also, it is worth commending how the creators and actors portrayed Chess. It was realistic and I'm sure Chess aficionados will surely be delighted watching the characters move their pieces and speak Chess jargons. Though this aspect of the show might be unfamiliar to non-Chess players, I find it not a hindrance in enjoying the show. Overall, I enjoyed every single episode Queen's Gambit. Even though the story is pretty straightforward, its true appeal is in the message that the show is trying to convey.",7 "I had HIGH hopes for this show. My mistake. Do you like plot holes, horrific acting (Winona Ryder), nonstop yelling for no reason (Winona Ryder), and unintelligible writing (the entire show), then this is the show for you. Since it seems America loves stupidity, this show is a major hit.",1 "I could only manage the first half an hour. It may have got better, I don't know but the first half an hour was slow and tedious. I love Scorceses other gangster film but this had none of their flair or pace and just felt old and withered. It was quite sad to see de Niro and Peshi tarted up trying to play men half their age, they had none of their former swagger and the fight scenes were very pathetic.",4 "Another vision of Naked Weapon, there are some changes but still the same idea with the same purpose which is ""find & get rid of"". The only difference you can tell is that those are not Korean actors.",1 "Generally speaking horror films tend to be derivative. There's nothing wrong with that but without keen vision and direction the film can just be lame, which is pretty much where this ended up. <-- That's my review. Modern Horror Movies: The Rise and Fall of a Genre Abstract: The horror movie genre appears to be slowly declining, with many films being criticized as unoriginal and uninventive. But is this fair? It may be time for horror movies to evolve, as they have done throughout history. In recent years, some horror movies have been criticized as unoriginal and uninventive. This may be true to some extent, but it is also important to remember that horror is a diverse genre that has evolved throughout history.",5 "This movie has everything, great story line,taking and humor.i enjoyed karthi's acting very much. I recommend highly to watch this movie",10 "Everyone I knew rated this tripe so highly? Absolute nonsense from start to finish, playing more on the uninteresting, forced and under developed relationship between Wanda Nd Vision that got shoe horned down our mouths in between Avengers films off screen. Marvel fans confuse fan service with good content once again. And the twist was awful, cringe and insulting to the viewer.",1 "When I first saw this movie I wanted to write an honest review but I couldnt. On twitter, whatsapp everywhere are people waiting to tell you how racist, unsupportive,jealous any black person is for not thinking this is the best movie ever cos it has lots of black people in it. Today I watched Thor Ragnarok for the first time and I can no longer stay silent. There's a reason why I watch superhero films and it's to be wowed. Where were the scenes that saw black panther kicking ass, where were the scenes that showed his character develop, that showed the other character's arc? Where were the fight scenes that should have blown my mind away? Where was the story that had suspense and plot twists? Those things were absent from this film. There was only one funny scene. This film is quite dull and borING. I rated it two because of the Dino Melaye. we should all be honest enough to admit that the success of this film has very little to do with merit and a lot to do with sentiment. Thanks Marvel for the masterclass in film marketing.",2 "Never thought I would rate a QT film so poorly, as he is one of my favorite directors, but this was dull. too much focus on the moviemaking process which may interest the studio execs greenlighting this, but is just not that interesting to ordinary folk. the manson family subplot should have been the main story.",3 "Logan and Deadpool are amazing films, and even those two films are pretty old now. SO... This film is just bad! Even I can see, this was way too short for a Comic Book Marvel film...Brightburn is much better than this and it's just as short, but of course, that kind of ""evil"" ""cheesy"" movie was trashed by almost everybody! Yet this film is very bad, choppy, and bland and of course the Marvel fans ate it up.... While I was not hungry and it made me sick.",5 "Could have been worse. Was constantly napping - glimpsing between 25' and 1 32' but generally enjoyed it. Especially beginning and ending. It surely is an art when you are able to create from whatever material but for me there should be more much more. I can never nap - glimpse when I watch certain films no matter how tired or bored I was before. It is one thing to create and be prolific and another to find the target, know what you are talking about, be there and not a passer-by.",5 "I am just coming back from this movie and I wish I could go back to 4 hours ago and chosen Rambo instead. The movie must have some deep ( and i mean deep ) symbolism and themes that I obviously missed. To me it seemed like one of the slowest movies I have seen in a while with bland preaching of the effects of oil greed. The story was completely flat, characters go in and out without any significance, dramatic music plays up pointless scenes... and conflict? you build one up and then they go away without closure.. What was the story about??? The music! if that's what you want to call it, noise is what I call it. The camera work, nice shots and environments, and Daniel's acting is the only thing that saves this movie from my bottom 5 of all time. But I wish I had my 2.5 hours back.",2 "Not as good As I expected. Could have Done better No romance Between meena nd Meenal Uday nd Shivangi Jeetu bhaiya character has gone down I mean Delusional Bollywood type.",1 "13 Reasons Why is one of those TV series which has high rating here on IMDB, but it's not a good show, not talking about great word. It might have awesome contents inside it, but the speed is too slow and made me boring. I watched it because it's sort of popular in 2017 when season 1 came out. But I found that the show was moving too slow and so, it's very very boring. After watching a few episodes, maybe three, I stopped watching. The main thing about this show is 13 reasons why Hannah committed suicide. If 13 reasons are known, the rest is nothing. Because of too drama and too slow, I can't continue to watch it anymore. It made me really really sleepy. So, I've stopped watching and began to search so-called 13 reasons online. Instead of watching the whole thing, reading those 13 reasons is better. That is the best decision I've made. I've saved a lot of time. If you don't want to lose your time, I advice you to do the same. As for season 2 and 3, I don't think they should continue this show. The show is already fixed. And Hannah is dead at the very beginning. The show is really done in season 1. If died, there's nothing can bring one back. Of course unless it's Sci-fi. Hence having 2 more seasons is kind of nonsense. Conclusion is that this show is really really boring. So, as for me, it's not even worth it watch it.",1 "Ten minutes or so into the first episode, the show presents the most horrific and traumatising thing I have ever seen. We don't need this kind of gratuitous suffering, violence and gore to tell a story. It's completely unnecessary, disturbing and I switched it off immediately. Why can't we just have decent stories any more?",1 "Congratulations to the team who had made this film.....you guys really done well. Super. To the real heroes of the Surgical Strike team of our Great Indian Army.....A Big Royal Salute to all of you. Jai Hind",10 "Dr. Strange in a cuckoo script, in a bad way. All super-hero movies have their problems with reality as expected. That's one thing and nobody cares. However plot holes and unnecessary scenes. A literal childish motive moves the plot. The main villain (see, no spoilers here) uses his/her powers only when it serves the plot (ripping it apart). Someone here wrote that propably ""somewere in the multiverse there's a better version of this movie"". I sincerly doubt it.",2 "Very few sequels can hold a candle to their predecessor. This movie can stand tall on it's own OR as a sequel, a feat almost never achieved",9 "At a lengthy 2 plus hours with intense fight scenes aplenty, this movie doesn't exactly seem like kid stuff. Don't be fooled. Like the Disney Land ride that inspired it, this is a movie that can be enjoyed only by the young and the young at heart. Aged cynics should see something else. This is a movie for all the men and boys who have ever dreamed of making women swoon by skillfully wielding a sword, all the women and girls who have ever dreamed of being saved by a dashing young man. Leave logic at the door, because like all those childish fantasies, this movie exists for the thrill of the moment, the clash of swords, cheeky one liners, and a bombastic score. The whole thing would be completely ludicrous if not for the performances of Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush, who give a little class to the whole affair. They handle the material by going completely over the top, and winking conspiratorially at the audience as they do it. In his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, Depp combines equal parts drag queen and fiersome pirate to arrive at a character that captured my attention every moment he was on the screen. Geoffrey Rush isn't as good, but is good enough as the evil Captain Barbossa. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly get to play it straight, while simultaneously giving audience members something pretty to look at. The plot is too complicated to adequately summarize in a short space, and why bother? The plot is inconsequential anyway, serving merely as a means for these actors to fight with their swords, swing around on ropes, and go broke for laughs. If you wanna enjoy this one, you might as well just let go and get in touch with your inner child. You'll be glad you did.",6 "Very good movie,good fights,good star casts ,good acting and little emotion with a good message, overall it's worth to watch and spend your good time at home .Bravo!!",7 If you have seen Atonement then you might have a sense of how the evacuation Dunkirk truly was. If you have seen Saving Private Ryan you would appreciate how visceral WW2 was. To try and represent Dunkirk with a single ship and a minuscule single file of soldiers was pathetic. To film said ship and not even organise your extras in the tighter framed shots so they were at least three deep is failing movie making 101. Then to film soldiers on board a train carriage with British Rail livery from the 1980s when there are classic rail carriages across the UK that were at least from the correct decade is just lazy. How did this film cost so much to make?? Nolan's obsession with practical effects over what can be achieved with a modicum of CG is just zealotry.,1 "If I wanted to see a show that is basically The Walking Dead mixed up with Fear the Walking Dead and Z Nation, then I would just watch those shows. I haven't played the games so I have no idea if the show is anything like the games, nor do I care if they are or aren't. After hearing how great this series is, how fantastic the first two episodes were, I couldn't wait to see them and boy was I disappointed. That's what happens when you listen to 'game fanboys' I guess. It's not that the show is 'bad', it isn't, but the problem is that there are better 'zombie' shows around, so I felt like I was watching a show that was just copying these other zombie shows. Hell, even Z Nation is much more entertaining and interesting than The Last of Us. Saying that, if you have never seen another Zombie series, maybe you would think this is the bees knees. Otherwise, don't expect more than a rehash of what's been shown before in other shows. Will I continue watching the rest of the series? I think I'll watch a couple more episodes and then decide if to continue watching more. So far, I am giving it a 5/10, because I found I was bored while watching it. The actors were fine, just the plot was boring, like I mentioned above, just a repetition of other zombie shows. I don't believe people are giving this anything above a 6/10. No way. At least these first 2 episodes hasn't warranted higher than that.",6 "Let's be honest. This film was not meant to be great or succeed. It was made to be a place holder for when fans where waiting for NWH. And yet, I think it was pretty decent. Nice action, great cgi. Not much else to say about it.",8 Agents of Shield was such a great show. If you can get past the first season (which was by far the worst season) I guarantee that you will enjoy the rest! It just took a while to gets it's footing but once it did it was one of the best shows on tv. It's one of the rare shows where every season just gets better and better! I already miss it!,9 "With the final chapter beginning its first part of the anticipating series of Harry Potter, this film has, unbelievably, great solid performances, especially from Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe. But what makes me wonder is the action it gave. There were some sad parts and some scary parts but had, unexpectedly, not many actions whatsoever. But however, the reason I gave this a 8 is because the film was perfect, awesome, fabulous, exciting and marvellous.The first part of the everlasting series marks the point to a final war and opened up the penultimate chapter to a whole new level. Recommend this film and i just realised i am 4 years late writing about this film. I hope this review was useful! thanks!",8 "This movie was amazing. Comedy, somewhat hackneyed effects, kung fu, tragedy, drama, love, Bhuddist Palm. I laughed, I cried, I kissed 8 bucks goodbye. The crazy thing was that I was really at the edge of my seat during a good deal of the action. And BOY did I ever laugh. The Spiderman reference was beyond value. And the butt crack! Ridiculous. I loved this movie. It was a throwback to the comedy of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao in kung fu, only the martial arts were computer animated into absurdity, like a more visceral but less over the top beautiful House of Flying Daggers. Go see it. I beg of you. Go see this movie. Alleluia, go see this movie.",10 "Amazing series, no doubt characters and roles were played well by the actors. But not gonna lie, in 3rd season I firmly believe Allison should have been dead by 2-3rd episode. Pretty annoying she turned out to be this season.",8 "Shingeki no Kyojin is a great anime , very unique in its type , which can be described as a fantasy / heroic , although there is no lack of gender elements of war / strategy. Curious about the progress of the story , which takes place through various ""pieces"" of several episodes interspersed with periods that can last for years. Interesting are the (many) characters, with a great a large variety of different personalities. Best part of the anime are human emotions with which the characters are almost forced to confront often finding themselves in extreme conditions and for this, the emotions are much more accurate. Finally, I would recommend it to anyone , really nice work. 8/10",9 "Oh dear, where to begin? I expect that this film will now become the defining 'history' of Dunkirk for young people, many of whom probably confuse it with D-Day anyway. The big problem is that it lacks scale. The director wanted to avoid using CGI but as a result the beaches look like an out-of-season Morecambe, as someone put it. To be fair, he would have needed the combined manpower of the present-day British, French and German armies to replicate the scenes of 1940. And where were the vast quantities of trucks, guns and equipment destroyed by the army and abandoned on the beaches? Instead we were given half a dozen old lorries, fewer than you'd see in a scrapyard. Then the fabled 'armada of little ships' hove into view - with no more than about six to eight boats forming a pathetically small flotilla. At least Nolan managed to get weekend skipper Mark Rylance's dress right for the period - collar and tie. But he got it badly wrong for the troops being rescued. In the publicity still of the men gathered on the mole (jetty) they look as though they have popped out of an Airfix kit, with freshly painted helmets and uniforms straight from the QM's store. Not a dented, scarred or missing helmet, and not a missing or bloodied battledress blouse. No helmet straps worn over the brim and no other headgear (forage caps or berets) visible. No bandages or slings, just everyone in parade-ground order. Interestingly, Kenneth Branagh managed to stay stubble-free after seven days non-stop directing operations on the mole. I'll end there, except to note that when the men travelled back to London by train they did so in brightly-upholstered carriages that bore no resemblance to the brown-hued trains that I remember from the '50s and '60s, let alone those of the '30s which would still have been in use in the 1940s.",3 "This is one of the shows that should have stayed at one season. A mini-series. The first Season was good ,but the second is a dumpster fire. Instead,shows like THE OA get cancelled and they waste money on rubbish like Season 2.. Season 1 gets 5 stars Season 2 gets 1 star I won't deduct anything,first Season is worth watching,cool and fun.",5 "A friend enjoying this new series convinced me to watch it even though I honestly was not drawn in by the trailers (plus the dragons did not look magnificent to me). All I have to say is that I started watching, and my jaw dropped when it started with a narration. Red flag #1, not that there is no place for it but this one with the opening sequence was just not up to the standard of GoT's. Red flag #2, the actors did not grab my attention. None of them came alive on screen. None felt like the characters they played like the original GoT cast. Red flag #3 was when I stopped half-way through and watched GoT itself. The opening episode of that is FAR ahead of this one. The actors did so well, it still hurts how the show ended but one thing is they made you care and were great from the start. The suspense during the first sequence gets me everytime! This first episode did not make me want to see more.",3 "Not sure why this movie got high rating. The story, actors are svck. No offense dont trust rating from Indian movie. They probably pay people to vote.",1 How many episodes do I have to watch until this thing makes sense mm??,1 I skipped episode 5-12...cus the story is slow and narrated by someone i dont care about...just a nosy new gurl thar suddenly knows about everyone..theres no chemistry between her n clay... yawn,4 "The 2 stars is for the first episode which was very good. All others were so dull and predictable it could have been written by a 13 year old who had only lived through watching rubbish on on the internet and had nil experience of life. And no, that doesn't make it good, or insightful, it makes it dull and lazy and for people with the attention span of advert land. Brooker, a horribly overrated journo in a crass and anti-working-class rag in England, try looking at meaningfully good content like the stuff Chris Morris can do then weep for your truly woeful lack of talent. Maybe the LA air's got to his head and it's stuck completely up his posterior...darling, so fabulous, what a genius...ahhhh",2 "This is a phenomenal idea, with an amazing cast. Apart from the lead who actually ruins it. I just can't for the life of me work out how she got the job.",6 "Zero experience with the games and source material. Perhaps if I had, I wouldn't feel like I'm being jerked in different directions every ten minutes. Also, really 9.5? I know it's just been released but this show is definitely overrated No character development. I can't ""root"" for a single character. Sets and costumes, special effects, and fight choreography are great. But if you don't give me someone to care about, I won't keep watching. Henry Cavill is watchable but his character has no decent backstory or connection to anyone or anything, and I'm halfway through it already. After anxiously awaiting this for so long, I feel cheated.",2 "This just might be the best superhero movie ever made. The character development of Peter Parker as he struggles with the personal sacrifices he must make as his alter-ego is portrayed with perfection by Tobey Maguire. Rosemary Harris and Alfred Molina give real credibility to this movie as Aunt May and Doctor Octopus. Harris shows a wide range of emotions during this movie and Molina's portrayal of ""Doc Oc"" encourages a sympathetic respect for a deranged lunatic. The interpersonal relationship between Mary Jane (played by Kristen Dunst) and Peter Parker really made this movie work for me. Translated perfectly from the comic series, a viewer can truly understand how much Peter and MJ care about each other. Finally, this movie is loaded with unbelievable special effects. What separates Spiderman 2 is the substance the characters give this movie. This movie left me with a feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction; worth the full price I paid to see it.",10 "The movie is pretending to be action, but in fact it's a lame story which you have probably seen many times. The directing resembles a music video with flashing images and frequently changing frames. The storytelling is poor, but the chase in Florence was funny. Ryan Raynolds cannot seem to step out of the Deadpool role.",5 "Brilliant. Peggy carter shows how she would've played out as capt america instead and since she was the founder of shield in the MCU, she is more adept and intelligent than steve rogers was. Steve rogers had the wiillpower and drive, peggy has that, already knew martial arts herself, and clever at that. I'm not sure why there are even bad reviews for this movie. Must be a review bombing thing or just male chauvinists hating on female protagonists bc there was nothing that bad to give it a < 5/10. The production value is superb. The colouring, the lighting, the animation was pretty refreshing and unique in its own way. Capt carter's fighting choreographies were also splendid. Showed how versatile she was w the manipulation of the vibranium shield, fighting styles was also more agile along w little quips in btw kinda like spiderman does. I'm giving an 8 just cus its too short, i'm not sure why people are expecting much out of a series that's basically fan service or a whole story progression alike to a duration of a movie -- certainly not deserving 2/10 just because! Should watch it regardless -- fun, refreshing and dynamic!",8 "For an intelligent person that has seen this film, it is shockingly apparent that the majority of people reviewing it on here are complete morons. Either that or they were part of the making of the movie and instructed to write great reviews upon completion of production like 99% of all Hollywood movies today. That or they are getting paid to write these positive reviews. Sites like this and rotten tomatoes are absolutely loaded with fake and biased reviews. This was a horrible movie. Start to finish. Honestly painful to watch at times because the level of stupidity displayed by every single character is astonishing. This is a movie I wish I hadn't spent my time to watch. Don't waste yours.",1 "Civil War is a movie that contains literally over a dozen 'super' heroes who end up in conflict when the government wants to contain their powers (basically for saving the planet twice). ½ support the government while the other ½ protest this action. The next 2 hours of the movie is these groups fighting each other in various ways for unclear reasons, and other than a lot of cities/airports etc getting blown up, very little happens plot wise. The biggest problem is that they are all basically the same no matter which of the dozen or so they actually are. Captain America, the new Black Panther, Bucky, and about another 4 heroes all have virtually the same powers, motivations, fighting styles, and magic weapon (the distinction of course is claws vs a shield vs an arm vs a suit). The next set of about 6-8 are the suit guys who shoot missiles of some sort and fly and are otherwise just trained as ninjas. None of them have any weakness or flaw, they are basically all superman without the laser eyes. Either way, it is all so samey. How many times can Captain America and the Winter Soldier fight before they realize that neither can hurt the other no matter how many times they punch each other in the stomach; and no number of elite seal team soldiers/tanks/planes can stop them from accomplishing their goals however big or small they are. In one inane scene, the Winter Soldier defeats 20 odd elite forces soldiers without breaking into a trot to simply surrender to another small group of soldiers because… I watched this soon after two other super hero movies, Deadpool and Dawn of Justice. While all had their flaws, I felt in Super vs Batman and Deadpool I was watching something new, characters that had.. well, character. I didn't know what Deadpool was all about, and I was curious about how the fight between Batman and Superman would go. I never had this feeling with Civil War – Iron man vs Captain, a lot of ninja rolls and nothing. Spidy vs Falcon, a lot of ninja rolls and nothing. Rinse and repeat. And all the while the character Vision is basically a God who could do anything he wants at any point and just punches people. I'm not sure why I was so disappointed, I mean I guess that is what a Marvel movie is. Each hero has their one liner, none are in any real jeopardy in a fight because they are all basically immortal, and when one is injured/defeated it just is so much stupider because you have seen them defeat Gods with ease only to be knocked cold by the 100,000,000 punch to the face for no real reason other than the writers need to eventually move on to another set piece action sequence. This movie is disappointing because it is so predictable. I enjoyed moments, the action is loud, and some, but it is shocking how bored I could be with a movie that manages to pack so much into it.",5 "I'll get straight to what I didn't like about the movie. The background score and the pacing. They are very inter-linked and both let down the overall experience. Every time in the latter half of the movie when Guru says just about anything the gung-ho ""Guru Bhai"" theme kicks in. This just pulls the focus away from the character and into his ""cause"". Instead of delving into the personal aspects of the character, his possible self-doubts, motivation, etc. it immediately becomes about a man fighting for the cause of the underdog in society. The poor pacing goes hand in hand with the music, with an entire song that seemed unnecessary. There is almost no development into the titular Guru, instead letting the characters play of that character while their characters are developed and more rounded out. The first half is an absolute joy, but after that it just wallows in mediocrity. Abshishek Bachchan keeps the character alive throughout it though. Aishwarya turns in a fair performance. Vidya Balan deserves more credit for her role despite it being weakly tacked onto the story. Madhavan does a good job of a character integral to the story. Mithun shows why he is the one with the most experience though. It's a shame he didn't have more scenes as his character was the heart of the movie and it really would have helped to see more interplay between his and that of Guru throughout it all. A missed opportunity that really should have been better.",7 "Just a movie about Bill very slowing getting to sleep with a young girl. This is just a movie for 50+ year old's to daydream they might be able to sleep with a girl right out of college. Bill starts out in the movie telling the girl that he is in Tokyo making 2 million to film a commercial. In order for Bill to not look like a sleaze ball, the story takes for ever to make up a plot where Bill looks like his sexual relationship, that is inevitable, was just God's plan and society and prejudices should just be out of the way when 50+ year old's want to pick up a new college graduate. THis is the worst movie I have ever seen Bill in. The movie tries to show how strange Japan is compared to our familiar country.",1 "This film offers an exhilarating journey, weaving a tapestry of thrills and suspense that captivates from the opening scene. The meticulously crafted plot, enriched by stellar performances, maintains an unrelenting pace, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. Visually striking, each frame contributes to the overall intensity, whether through heart-pounding action sequences or subtle psychological tension. It's a cinematic experience that transcends the ordinary, immersing viewers in a world where every moment is charged with anticipation. Special effects seamlessly integrate into the narrative, heightening the film's impact.",8 "In the struggle between the military police and the revolutionary party, the former is for salary, while the latter is for faith, regardless of life and death, to go through fire and water. Therefore, the revolutionary party will be the final winner.",9 "Best comic book movie ever? Yeah, right. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a far better film than Captain America: Civil War. Zemo was completely underused in this film. In the comics, he was a very manipulative man, like in the film, but is a very skilled fighter and can go toe-to-toe and hold his own against Captain America. In this, he was basically a terrorist, who was out for revenge. Very original. With Lex Luthor in BvS, he wanted to destroy Superman, both physically and mentally, and he wanted absolute power with it as well. They wasted the potential for Zemo in this film. The story overall was very well done, like it's predecessor, The Winter Soldier, but it could've been so much better. It didn't feel like Civil War, it felt more like a school yard brawl. The action sequences were great though. I loved them, but action doesn't make a film great. They barely touched on the original storyline, and just took the title, ""Civil War"", and slapped it under Captain America. Like Marcel Tim said, ""Should have called this Winter Soldier 2 to be honest."" In BvS, Lex made Superman look more like a threat to Batman. That was better executed than Zemo in this film. It seems Marvel/Disney is coughing up money to the critics and give this film acclaim. What every critic is saying about Civil War are complete exaggerations. I think MCU films are losing steam.",6 "Everything about this series is excellent. Cast, screen writing, the period piece, soundtrack, acting; its all amazing. David Harbour is beyond amazing. He should get nominated for a Golden Globe for his role as the Chief. Winona Ryder is excellent. Loved they are acting again together. Previous was in The Iceman (2012) which if you haven't seen is excellent. This series by the Duffer Brothers developed the characters beyond anything I can recall seeing recently. Every character is likable or not and its because you know something about them. Right down to the boys science teacher. Matthew Modine is extremely good as the federal agent. I can't recall a role he's done that I didn't like. Please have an open mind with this series and watch it. Rewatch any unfinished episodes. Netflix Original nailed it yet again. Excellent.",5 "Tomodachi Games is an extraordinary anime series that captivates audiences with its thrilling storyline, engaging characters, and stunning animation.

And depressive. And that's all. However, the minimum review has to be 10 lines, so let's fill with something. The story is: two bored people, depressed and unhappy with their life, meet in a place they do not like - it is Tokio, but could be any foreign place. Then, they spend the next 100 minutes or so in telling each other how they are depressed, bored, and unhappy with their life. That's all. I suppose that the name ""Coppola"" raised the enthusiastic comments of reviewers: I can't see any other reason. Probably the most boring movie ever: and I am not alone, a poll reports it is considered the most boring movie ever, with a huge 23% of people thinking the same.",2 "When you out too many black actors and actresses in the casting, it appears too much political correct in the series. this is a polish mixology so why did they use black elf in the story ? if you wanna go democratically and show us how bad racist mentality in the past you are correct but you should do more movies like '' Django unchain '' like jewish to millions of movies which happening in world war 2. look '' lord of the rings '' series. did they use black elf or black hobbit in the cast ?",1 "When I went to the cinema to see Indiana Jones 4 I remember seeing a trailer for 'The Dark Knight'. It was dark, full of explosions and looked really cool. Being a huge fan of Batman and the two Burton films I couldn't wait to see it. While I never saw it in cinemas, I remember my friends telling me it was amazing and one of the best films ever. Fast forward to when I finally got to see the film and it was a different story. Two and a half hours of the most pretentious, boring and disappointing film I had ever seen. Lets start with the plot(s). Basically, the Joker (atleast that's what they call him) starts killing people and causing mayhem, meaning Batman has to stop him. Sounds simple but the film spoils this by having too many plot lines, most of which have nothing to do with the actual plot, don't last long enough to be interesting and could have been easily cut out to make a shorter and easier to follow plot. Now for the hero and villain. Batman is played by Christian Bale and comes complete with an over the top gruff voice, which sounds like he smoked a entire packet of cigarettes while doing a cross country marathon. He's nowhere near as dark or as intimidating as Keaton's Batman and isn't very engaging as Bruce either. Now for the reason the film is considered to be so great, Heath Ledger as the Joker. Ledger is the main driving point of the film and the most interesting character. He plays the role very convincingly and I'll admit is the best part of the film, even though they could have called him anything else instead of 'the Joker' and it would have been the same. And that's my biggest problem with this film, it doesn't feel like a Batman film. Batman has always been a surreal franchise, meaning it walks on a line between the real world and a fantasy world. Why does Gotham City just look like and regular city? Why does the Joker not have any comical death contraptions? Why does the Batmobile look like a tank? Where are all Batman's unique gadgets? The problem is Nolan doesn't understand that a man who dresses up as a Bat and fight crime can't be taken completely seriously. Burton made a surreal world for Batman and Batman Returns, creating a perfect environment for his films. But with Nolan, all I think of is just a crime drama with Batman in it. The Joker could have been just a psycho with makeup. The pacing is also a flaw. Sometimes the film moves too quickly for us to digest what's going on and other time it goes to slow that we lose interest. Only reason people loved it was for Heath Ledger's amazing performance and his unfortunate passing away before the film's release, and even that doesn't fit the bill for a 'Batman' movie. To sum up, 'The Dark Knight' will go down in history as the most overrated film ever made.",6 "I see where the hype comes from, Affleck is becoming a significant force in directing films. But i still don't see why this movie won so much. The movie does have a good plot and a great ending but i felt like i was watching another Lionsgate low-budget action movie with the camera angles and cinematography. No offense to Lionsgate i understand your methods but come on Warner Bros., you have to sometimes grasp onto your productions. This movie had a phenomenal cast with a great performance by Ben Affleck in the leading role and great support with Alan Arkin, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman and the underrated Tate Donovan. But no significant parts for a big name actress, i thought this could've improved the movie big time. Also the camera angles and cinematography were great for an adaptation. I feel like they played it safe (Affleck and his production crew). They could have easily made this the best film of the year, with a controversial plot already why treat it like an action-suspense-thriller-crime-stereotype? Simple camera angles that capture the story and the great actors. Nope. In my eyes this was not achieved. The cinematography was over par, the acting was just what i expected, nothing better nothing worse, the movie was mediocre. If you disagree then that's fine it's all based on opinion. If you are reading this because you haven't yet seen the movie then i suggest you watch it while cooking or while doing the laundry. This is the movie with the type plot where you don't have to give 100% attention to know what is going on. Also you can pause the movie and leave the house to get groceries or such then come back two hours later and still remember and pick up where you left off. It's just not that submerging or hooking. Sorry Lionsgate if i offended you by comparing your movies that go straight to Redbox with this movie... Which now rests in piece inside of a Redbox.",4 "How is this a ""Good, ""Clean"" series when practically every character drops a million F-Bombs?! I swear too, though as I've gotten older (56), I've really cut back cuz I've realized it's just not an attractive trait to have especially in the office or out in public. Sorry but that's my top complaint about this series. Who are they trying to target with that kinda language anyways? When I asked my 86yo mom if she liked this series, she didn't like the swearing and said it was too boring as well. Too many times ""hell"" should've been said instead of F-bombs or ""$h1t""... the sentences didn't make sense with how they were said. This just isn't a funny LOL kind of series like it was being hyped up as. A few sorta funny moments in episodes 1&2 does not make up for the boring, tired writing that's being played out. I grew up on Steve Martin records (King Tut rules!), movies & SNL even got a ""I'm a wild & crazy gal"" t-shirt with the bunny ears and arrow going thru it from my sister when I was 10 & wore it proudly! Loved most of his movies and liked some of Martin Shorts too (many were too over-the-top for my taste like ""Clifford"") but I had much higher expectations from them both though. Sad to say, I'm not actually too surprised at how lame much of this is. I wanted to like Selena Gomez but like others have commented, her monotone voice and acting like she's so bored during her scenes has been a huge turnoff. I guess that's how they wanted her character to sound & act? All 3 are Executive Producers so if she wanted to not act bored, she could've said or done something about it. I'm on episode 4 now and do like seeing the guest stars like Nathan Lane and even Sting so far and I'll most likely watch thru the remaining season 1 just to see more of the background storylines (maybe that'll help me like it?) and to see what happens to the killer who I've already guessed by episode 2. But I won't be watching anymore seasons of this sadly and mom refuses to watch anymore of it too (she only made it thru the first episode!).",3 "The Shape of Water is beautiful. From the beginning to the end it just looks so beautiful. But beauty isn't worth anything if the rest of the package fails to submit. About the writing: The Movie lacks a good plot. All you see here, has been done over and over again and again throughout the entire movie history. There is nothing new. All characters are plain and simple, easy to digest. The bad guy is a bad guy to bone, the good girl is a good girl to the bone. There are no large grey areas, conflicts or surprises. About the overall plot. It's boring. It's really boring. Everything is so predictable, that I knew all that would come already before it would happen and that is kinda disappointing and sad. I cannot recommend this movie, avoid it at best.",3 "As has been pointed out by others, this is a complex series with a hard- line story and some pretty moving episodes. There are a few logical mistakes in it, and why I didn't give it a 10, because it was on that path, but I can't say what they are without ruining it for someone. Leave to say that there are just some characters you just don't kill off for no reason other than shock value. Some may disagree, but, for instance, if you were watching the Lone Ranger and half way through an episode he gets killed, the series is reasonably ended. You can understand why the writers wouldn't do that. In like manner, there are others you don't want to eliminate for the same reason - like Tonto, for instance. Sometimes you need a character to carry on the plot and storyline, or a character is so integral to the story that removing them would be a very unwise choice. It's why the Coyote can keep coming back even after he is blown up, pulverized, squished, or otherwise physically discombobulated: you need him! Getting rid of him would be a shock, sure, but then what have you got? Not a wise move. Some of that is done here, not to mention not giving justice to some absolutely horrible, deadly, people. That's my complaint. Otherwise, they present a very good story with appropriate action that captivates and interests, and fight scenes with beautiful females that are pleasant to watch. Despite a few flaws, which to me, as an author, are aggravating, the overall series is a very good and moving one that most people would enjoy. The fact is the same story could have been made with real people and it would have been just as good.",8 Too long for bad plot. The movie is 3 t 1 min use your time better!,2 "Not only one of the best superhero sequels but one of the best sequels of all time! This movie goes above and beyond in developing this ravishing world further whilst not straying far from its predecessor. Without hesitation, Sam bullies and knocks Peter Parker down, again in an effort to focus on the man inside the Spider-Man. That being a bigger subject in this chapter of this story as displayed through the 'antagonist' that a minority of fans were displeased with. Despite Doc Ock having limited screen time, in my opinion he is one of the better characters Spider-Man has had to face mainly due to him not actually being the antagonist, moreover a man suffering the same as Peter, fighting the demons inside. The momentous swinging segments were glorious and in a lot ways better than the first movie, growing in power as Peter grows as Spider-Man. In favor of that, Danny Elfman's iconic score is orgasmic to the ears, building an empowering sensation whilst painting Spider-Man as the righteous, morally pure superhero that he is. Although dialogue has that Sam Raimi cheesiness, every character is brilliantly acted, even the characters whom play a small role; and in addition, the gorgeous set designs they stand all corroborate in creating this New York atmosphere that feels ever so lived in. The action is entirely Spider-Man-esk as both characters crawl over New York as though their sandbox, using anything and everything to stop the opposing force. And the mash between CGI and real elements worked incredibly well adding a small amount of realism. Please watch this, it's more than a superhero film and tackles a lot of real life experiences.",9 "A weird cross between the new max max and Zombie Land. The direction is a bit obvious but the action is done well and there is a lot to love in the scripting. This is different in all the right ways. It really shouldn't work. All the actors are solid. Will Arnett however is in a whole different league. I kept seeing him in the credits and wondered where he was hiding. Finally I realized that he had to be Sweet Tooth. His parts in take it form being watchable to thoroughly entertaining. This show also is on e of the first offerings in a while that does not force social justice issues down your throat. Enjoy.",8 "Southpaw is a bloody good time. It's ""Rocky"" meets ""8 Mile"". OK, you can see every plot point and boxing-movie cliché from a mile away. But does it matter when such energy pumps through your veins as you're watching the big redemption fight. You're rooting for Billy Hope all the way, and you feel for him when he falls, big time. Jake Gyllenhaal doesn't give a spectacular performance as per his pedigree, but he makes Billy Hope come alive. The role was originally intended for Eminem, and you can see Gyllenhaal channel him in every last nuance of his performance. Had Eminem taken the role, we'd be talking about his performance for years. Other performances are worth mentioning. Forrest Whitaker does a great job as the ""cranky old gym trainer"", and Rachel McAdams soars as Maureen Hope. Not to mention, Oona Laurence, turning in a magnificent performance as Leila. Southpaw doesn't pack the punch of what you'd might expect in the award show category, but it's a popcorn, sports flick that will entertain you, and that's enough.",6 "This is Marvel's way of keeping us throughly entertained. No - Don't compare to Wandavision. Both are entirely different storylines and premise. The action is solid, acting is great with kudos to Zemo (Bruhl), Winter Sol-dad (Stan) and Cap (Russell). Anthony is really pushing it in terms of great acting. There are surprises sprinkled all over the series and its an exciting watch. Just get into the seat and go for a heavy action packed ride. All in all, pure Marvel - Pure Entertainment.",9 The drama elements are great but the horror is laughable and cheesy. The characters are extremely inconsistent and I have a hard time caring about any of them. Good acting but just so poorly written.,5 "I thought it stunkRidiculous storyline Not funny. Ridiculous storyline. Unbelievable Made no sense.",3 Henry caville was great as Geralt but once again Netflix have proven they have done a disaster I loved the first episode but after that was over I expected more action and I was frankly very bored it failed to hold my attention. Just a shame because I had high hopes for it as an avid lover of the games,6 "10 : base MCU score +1 : Rourke performance +1 : Robert is Tony +/-1 : Don Cheadle is good as ""Iron Patriot"" +/-1 : Secrets from the past -1 : To much Rourke's scenes removed -1 : Am I in Star Wars 1?

I searched over and over again during my watch-time for those intriguing facts bloomed in the movie. I downloaded the autobiography of this great athlete too. And Farhan Akhtar, he must deserve a salute for such factual incarnation. It shows how much work he had to do for this casting. It's good to see that someone has made the it while Mr. Milkha is among us. A posthumous applause doesn't really pay homage to the hero, rather serves for the descendants only. But we need to pay condign tribute to these who deserves it within their physical being among us. Partition, a permanent ink bruise to our subcontinent is also portrayed with great skill, kudos to the director. A truly inspirational movie.",8 "I saw the movie ""the Great Gatsby"" yesterday. I love the novel ""the Great Gatsby,"" so I was looking forward to this movie, and at the same time I felt anxious about it. Of course, the story of this movie was great, not due to any staff of this movie but to Scott Fitzgerald. Gatsby devoted whole his life to Daisy, who wasn't what she really was but what he believed that she should be. He did anything that he believed that she would love, but actually it wasn't sure that she would love it. Finally, he was betrayed by the real Daisy, because she wasn't what he thought of her as. In this sense, ""the Great Gatsby"" is tragedy and comedy like ""Don Quixote."" Gatsby and Don Quixote lived in their own imagination. All of us also live more or less in our imagination, but we can't forget the real world at all. Therefore, we look down on them and adore them at the same time like Nick Carter. Which do you like to live your own life at any cost and go to ruin like Jay Gatsby, or to watch someone else's life from a safety zone like Nick Carter? Tobey Maguire was adequate to Nick Carter. Although sometimes Leonardo DiCaprio overacted, I can't imagine that another actor palys Gatsby. Carey Mulligan was cute enough for Daisy who Gatsby loved. But I was really disappointed that the direction was so cheap. In this movie, everything in the images was unnatural. If it was a music video, I could say that their images were fashionable, but in this movie they broke my concentration on the story. Did they use such artificial images in order to express the cheapness of the Roaring Twenties? If they wanted it, it would be successful. In fact, I seemed this movie to be cheap. I'll try Robert Redford's ""the Great Gatsby.""",4 "When you see the poster of the movie and the year of movie makes, you must be don't expect much. But ""To Be Honest"", this absolutely Best Rom-Com ever!",10 "This is film is not awful but it is not great. The story is very short and doesn't really give any characters any depth. If you're looking for an genre defining film, you will be left with disappointment, but if you are a marvel fan and trying to go out and kill some time with friends then it'll be a solid time. Best part of film is the end credits. I'm a biased marvel fan so 6.7 would be my score.",7 "I HATE this show. I expected Daredevil to be badass, and everyone cheering him on, and him being a badass to everyone and stuff. But NO. He doesn't even do the ""DD"" symbol on fire in the ground thing! HE DOESN'T EVEN WEAR HIS SUIT TILL THE END! He's not even badass, nobody even knows who he is, they hate him! I know you're trying to be ""realistic"" or ""dark"", but just STOP. You might as well just call it a boring crime show. If maybe the creators just made the show less boring, more fighting, more of Daredevil in his suit being a HERO and everyone cheering him on, you know? I respect you guys for trying, but cmon, this is just.. boring. SCREW YOU, NETFLIX!",5 "I can't help but wonder if I watched the same film that impressed so many people. As with most DC Comics films, this one was a great disappointment. While Marvel Comics films tend to be satirical and even self-effacing, DC films are pretentious and tedious. Sadly, Wonder Woman was no exception to this rule. The scripting was totally unimaginative, with dialogue that bordered on infantile. Visually, the landscapes all seemed plastic, with B-movie grade CGI throughout. Even the music was awkward, fighting the dialogue during the more intimate moments and drowning each scene in instrumentals. I found myself doubting whether the director and editor are aware that there doesn't have to be a bombastic or flowery incidental score under everything — it displayed a lack of confidence in the dialogue and acting carrying the scene. Regarding the acting, both Gadot and Pine gave it their best, struggling with the stilted dialogue and boring, telegraphed story line — but even they couldn't transcend this quagmire. If not for its pretentiousness, this film would have played far better as a comedy, lampooning itself. Instead, it drowns itself in incessant platitudes of women good/men bad, framed within a plebian one-dimensional plot. Again, I'm at a loss to explain its high marks, other than to ascribe it to the currently trendy political correctness that elevates all patronizing misandry to high art and entertainment.",4 "Lots of hype about the movie...too bad I could not find justification for it. I like Scarlett Johansson. I like Bill Murray. I understand this was not a comedy. I understand there was not going to be any sex. I guess I was thinking it was going to be something more like ""My Dinner with Andrea"" than a rambling bore of a film. Unfortunately, whatever happened in the first hour of the movie was negligible, and hardly set up the ending. I did like the last 10 or 15 minutes, though. There was too much ""I'm bored in Japan"" looking out the window, or ""I can't sleep"" (which you do, just at the opposite time as everyone else), or ""look at these pretty buildings"". It was too much filler, and not much substance. And, yes, the language barrier/miscommunication routine was somewhat overblown, and ultimately tiresome. Fool me once (""The Virgin Suicides"") shame on you - fool me twice (""Lost in Translation"") shame on me. I hope there is not a sequel, which is a definite possibility. I like the vague ending as is. However, I would have ended it with Bob saying ""screw it"" (or perhaps nothing at all), and taking the next elevator up after Charlotte. Roll credits. If you are not a fan of Bill or Scarlett, I would pass on this movie. 3/10",3 "Robert Downey Jr. i think did the best he could have done with what he had to work with here. I think that i went into this with an open mind but it was shut off pretty quickly. First off... The lack of Bruce Banner in the film was a let down as in the end of the Avengers we clearly see that Tony and Bruce drive off together as also mentioned in the earlier parts of the film where Stark was telling him about the ""top 10 floors all R and D and that he would love it there"" So that was a bit of a let down... Not that i expected it to be a Hulk themed movie. Second... The Mandarin... The Mandarin is one of Iron Mans greatest villains. The Mandarin is to Iron Man as The Joker is to Batman. Imagineif at the end of ""The Dark Knight"" if you were to find out that the Joker was only an actor hired by the mafia to keep Batman Busy... You would probably be a little upset right? Well thats what they did with the Mandarin. Its shameful. And this turn of events would not have been SO bad if they had not added in all the extras to make it seem like he was real. Evidence that goes back to the first film. In the first film the lead terrorist that was holding Stark captive in the cave was wearing one of the 10 rings of power. He was even admiring it in one of the scenes. along with a poster of the 10 rings in the back of his tent. Why would he do this if the whole ring thing was faked. Why would they fake the 10 rings of power for Iron Man 3 as you can see ""the Mandarin"" wearing them in the video. The Mandarin and the 10 Rings are real in the Marvel universe. its a shame they made all these errors and made it out to be fake.",3 Raatchasan is really an Hollywood level psycho thriller movie. I liked the movie a lot. This is one of the best movie ever produced in Tamil film Industry. This is first Tamil movie which scared me. You all watch this movie. You will definitely like it .,10 Really? Even E.T. is better than this! A 100000 times!!!,2 "Hilarious, great comedic timing. Loved it. Welldone Margot and Ryan! Hilarious, tear jerking, heart warming. Ticked all the boxes. A great empowering film for our girls. I thought this film was for my daughters, but it was very much for me also. Loved the colourful setting. All the characters were just spot on. The film thoroughly captivated, enchanted, and spellbound me. The film rated a perfect 10 out of 10 rating! It had scope to be corny or a rght duff, but it completely surpassed my expectations. I totally plan to download this film when it comes out. One for all the girls out there.",10 "The story is so packed with different things happening. It is forty minutes long, yet it feels closer to an entire film. It is quite fascinating and highly entertaining. It is not filled with eye candy, but with deeper dialog with some special effects. It gives the viewer a deeper insight into the borderline delusions of the main character. The dialog is fantastically written. It is a combination of imagination and horror. This blend creates a psychological horror that grips you to you very soul. The only possible bad thing that I could say about it is Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) accent. It should be a higher class a more aristocratic richness instead of the thick coarse German accent, but that is merely semantics. The series has a strong mentor-ship like connection between Graham and Hannibal Lecter that is improved by the clear mental instability of both. It makes you wonder what Hannibal Lecter sees for the future. The Graham character is not much like the one of red dragon, yet it is a great improvement with the modernization of him. This is a rather exceptional series and I hope to see plenty of it in the future.",10 "I don't know how it works but this cast and the way it was put together was classic. It's has a feeling of Stars Wars or other classic movies, well done.",9 "Steven Spielberg slipped into our collective consciousness more than fifty years ago. With sweeping imagination and spot-on storytelling, he has, in film after film, outperformed expectations. And good for all of us that The Fabelmans is no exception. In this, his 33rd theatrical release, he dissects moments from his youth that have informed artistic choices on topics like family, fairness, and core values; ideas that have taken center stage in our contemporary social discourse. Along with writing partner, Tony Kushner (West Side Story, Angels in America), Spielberg provides immediate access to his family's big heart and cozy charm. The Fabelmans are a crafty, intellectually-gifted lot, with a penchant for self-expression, and a drive toward lofty goals. A Jewish family, they occupy the only dark house on a street filled with Christmas lights. But the glow of familial bonds at this particular address is enough to illuminate dreams. It's important to note that none of the principals involved in the making of the film deny the incontrovertible truth that the Fabelmans are, in fact, the Spielbergs. Gabrielle Labelle, (The Predator, Dead Shack), captures the essence of the young director in his portrayal of would-be genius, Sam Fabelman. Innocent, but smart, Sam leads with his heart and is the sole author of his trajectory. But forces within his own family will try to keep his imagination earthbound. His father, Burt, an engineer attempting to fulfill on his own outsized ambitions, casts his son's preoccupation with film as a frivolous hobby, and pays only patronizing attention to his wife, Mitzi's, burgeoning career as a solo classical pianist. Deftly played by Paul Dano (The Batman, Twelve Years a Slave), Burt continuously bumps up against the walls of other people's dreams, often leaving his wife hanging to loose threads of sanity while she works overtime to fill the role of sole accommodator to everyone else's wishes. Michelle William's (Verdon/Fosse, Manchester by the Sea) portrayal of the frequently forlorn Mitzi is restrained until the emotional weight of suppression pulls her under. During a harrowing emotional stretch, where her son questions what she believes to be pure motives, a defeated Mitzi emphatically warns him to ""....do what your heart says so you don't owe anyone your life."" The dishevelment that heaps itself upon the family begins to play itself out as a result of Mitzi's infidelity with her husband's best friend, Bennie. Sam discovers the affair while editing film he's taken of a group outing. His camera has inadvertently captured the two sharing blissful moments together. Moments thought to be private. One can feel palpable relief for the emotionally squashed Mitzi, yet she will learn that happiness comes at the expense of her son's painful separation from boyhood. It's a profound rite of passage when circumstance causes children to redefine their parents as faulted and fallible adults. For Spielberg, it was a gateway experience spawning a river of emotional intelligence, and the characteristic backbone of his most beloved films. The movie is most buoyant when Spielberg's native creativity transcends the issues of his youth. When we can witness experiences that found their way, almost whole-cloth, into soaring scenes in films like ET and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. For instance, the unforgettable moment when young boys on bicycles, shepherding ET out of harm's way, take to the sky, crossing in silhouette against a full moon. A chance meeting offers a sublime punctuation at the end of The Fabelmans. Spielberg finds himself in front of legendary filmmaker, John Ford. The cranky director instructs him to look at two posters containing men on horseback beneath a big western sky. He challenges Spielberg to identify the horizon's location on each. The place between earth and sky that both anchors and divides a photograph. Following a few cringe-worthy answers, the accurate responses prompt this piece of wisdom from Ford: ""Remember this. When the horizon is at the bottom, it's interesting. When the horizon is at the top, it's interesting. When the horizon is at the middle, it's boring as s@#t."" Ford the master, advising Spielberg the student, on the critical importance of point of view, arguably the key ingredient for any successful storytelling endeavor. It's a solid gold moment. We leave The Fabelmans at this juncture, with a jubilant Sam jaunting away from the camera, Charlie Chaplin-style, into the metaphorical sunset of a great Hollywood sky. Classic Spielberg.",10 "Netflix have produced another winner with this original. Umbrella academy excels in its very unique characters, settings and storylines. We're taken on quite an epic journey through time. It contains the right amount of drama, intensity and humour to balance it all out. Great performances, story lines and characters. I was glued for most of it and eagerly await their next season.",7 "The Conjuring, of which Annabelle: Creation is a spin-off, was an unexceptional supernatural horror that shamelessly mined the many clichés of the genre in a desperate search for frights. Likewise, this 'origins' flick is a collection of well-worn scary movie tropes that is unlikely to impress seasoned horror fans. I've lost count of how many creepy doll movies I've seen over the years, and this one does very little new with the idea. Annabelle is the name given to the fugly doll which acts as a conduit for a nasty demon that causes trouble for a group of nuns and girls who come to live in a farmhouse orphanage. It's a generic, lazy story full of gaping plot holes, lapses in logic and glaring inconsistencies, told with little flair or originality by director David F. Sandberg, who helmed the marginally better Lights Out.",4 "A bad villain, a bad teenage story, a bad plot... I am a fan of the MCU, but this particular movie sucked. I didn't enjoy it a bit.",3 "Cocktail is a 2012 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy-drama film directed by Homi Adajania and written by Imtiaz Ali. The film was produced by Saif Ali Khan and Dinesh Vijan on a budget of 35 crore. It stars Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan, Diana Penty, Dimple Kapadia, Boman Irani and Randeep Hooda. The film score and soundtrack were composed by Pritam, Yo Yo Honey Singh and Salim-Sulaiman. Cocktail was released theatrically worldwide on 13 July 2012 and became a commercial success, grossing 126 crore worldwide, and was one of the highest grossing Hindi films of 2012. It received positive reviews from critics, who praised the direction, soundtrack, humor, cinematography, costumes and the performances of the cast, with particular praise directed towards Padukone and Penty's performances, proving to be a breakthrough for them. The film marked a significant turning point in Padukone's career, and established her as a leading actress of Hindi cinema.",10 "Was looking forward to this given the reviews but was very let down. I can handle romantic embellishment but this went way over the line, to the point of absurd plot and character developments. Gaga can sing but lacks real charisma as an actress, and the music was not memorable or moving - with the exception of Gaga's intro piece.",4 I am so disappointed and very regretful that I didn't quit watching it at the beginning and waited until the end hoping for a good taste. Sorry about that but despite the good acting it was totally waste of time.,2 Think I summed it up in the title... . . . . . . . . .,5 "Wasn't expecting much and got disappointed nevertheless by the slow pace of the movie. The cast isn't even in terms of presence or charisma (John Malkovich delivers a stunning performance of what he usually does on screen, when some others while not being bad per se will just disappear whiteout the viewer remembering anything they did during their green time). The storytelling is long and the editing do not really make you feel any of the stress the survivors is feeling. I felt like a distant witness to non real and meaningless events.",3 "An endless loop of boredom. Same stages, same rooms, all the same. Slow.",3 "4 out of 4 stars. Anthony and Joe Russo give Captain America the film he deserves with their 2014 film ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier."" This is a comic book blockbuster that has heart, wit, and a political message. It's a smart film that doesn't get caught up in visual effects and explosions. It has something to say while entertaining us with the things we expect from a Marvel film. ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" finds Steve Rogers/Captain America (played by Chris Evans) in modern Washington, D.C. and navigating through the politics of his new world. The good guys and bad guys are not as clear anymore and he has to face a new threat in the mysterious Winter Soldier. This film has impressive action scenes, solid performances, and a well written script that balances humor, character, and story. It's a political thriller that makes us look at big brother government, drone technology, and the line between freedom and fear. You could watch this film at the surface level and enjoy it or you can look at these political messages and enjoy it just as much. That's what I like about this film. It doesn't want to dumb down the audience. It wants to make them think and have fun at the same time. Personally, I think ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" is the best of the phase 2 Avengers films. It might be too soon to say that with ""Guardians of the Galaxy"" coming out in August, but I was disappointed by ""Iron Man 3"" and ""Thor: The Dark World."" ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" builds on ""Captain America: The First Avenger"" and ""The Avengers"" very well. You don't have to see these films to enjoy it, but it gives more context for the characters and where they have been. ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" is a really good film that gives everyone a fun time and something to think about it.",10 "I really enjoyed the first film, despite its unevenness in the script, and its length. This sequel is almost as good as its predecessor, and for me one of the better sequels out there. If there is one thing that I do prefer over the original, despite the rather slow start, I do think this film has the stronger storyline. The script is in general very good too, but the only other real problem I have with this film is its length. Despite the flaws, it is a pretty darn good action sequel. Two things made this movie as wonderful as it was. One was that it was terrific visually and technically, with splendid special effects and jaw-dropping stunts. The final action sequence between Spiderman and Dr Octopus was in particular brilliantly staged. The cinematography is focused and makes the film even more a wonder to look at. The other was the villain Dr Octopus, superbly played by Alfred Molina. Dr Octopus is made into a rather complex villain, after the death of his wife Rosalie, and becomes a villain after being part of his own invention. The music was also dramatic and fun. The remainder of the performances were very good too, while not admittedly the most charismatic actors ever, (Sean Connery is definitely a contender for that) Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst still give believable lead performances. All in all, a very good sequel. 8/10 Bethany Cox",8 "This is the greatest sequel ever made and in my opinion the finest film i have ever seen. I couldn't tell you how many time I have watched it.I haven't even talked about the more technical aspects yet. This is because I don't have to - everything is perfect. Not just great, but perfect, as in there seems to be no way that they could be improved on. Acting, direction, cinematography, script and story. Everything.",10 "I still can't believe, that MI reached such low level in Fallout. Scriptwritter shouldn't be let to touch a pen ever in his life.",2 "Forrest Gump is one of those movies where you can't really say you didn't like it without being criticized. Unless if you can back it up without some reasoning, excluding the term overrated. That just sounds like a lazy reason to most people, and even though I think it is overrated, I would still ask other people why they think it is overrated because I'm just a curious person. The response overrated is just disappointing for real but not professional movie critics like me. First off, Forrest's accent is over-exaggerated and obnoxious to hear for an 2 hour and a half movie. Imagine hearing it the theatres where the sound of his goofy and ridicules Alabama accent is pounding in my head. The only accent I liked in this movie was Bubba. In fact that will be my next point as to why I didn't like the movie too much: The movie moves off the characters too fast, as if they are all expendable characters in Family Guy and the character development is weak, narration explaining most of the characters choices instead of showing the choices that they make. This movie had mostly tell, not show. Hell, I could barely tell why he even liked Jenny in the first place. He just said I love you, I write to her all the time, i miss you jenny, marry me jenny. Then even worse, he tells us why he likes Jenny, instead her showing those personality traits herself. Granted, there was one instance in the movie where it Did actually show his love for her instead of telling it, which was when she got punched and he punched the guy back, and he told her that no one should hit her and that he would never hit her. That was my favorite part of the movie, but that's not even the most famous scene of the movie for some reason. That brings up another thing The most famous and heard of scene is the scene when Jenny says ""Run, Forrest, Run"" Seriously? It was in the first 10 minutes of the movie, and they were still little kids when most of the movie was jumping from historical scene to the next one. The scene did not have emotional meaning to me, the phrase sounds more of a meme than anything else. Also, what made the scene even more overrated was when he started outrunning the bikes and all that crap. It just made the scene even more unbelievable and unrelatable. Now this whole running junk was redeemable when he went back to go save Bubba because he was my favorite character, but when I was watching the scene for the first time I was rolling my eyes. Still, I gave it a seven because even though the historical scenes were narrated and had no point to the plot at all except to show he's been everywhere, it was still mostly funny and showed his goofy personality and it was nice to see historical figures interact with an idiot and see their reactions. And the crippled guy who I will not bother looking up was a great redemption story character, although I thought his subplot story was more interesting than Forrest's love life, and I wish that they could have added more to it. Like, how did he score some hookers? I wish it would have explained that to me because I can't see why they would be interested in a cripple. Unless they were paid like a normal prostitute, but I don't remember the movie explaining them as prostitutes. Soundtrack was good, particularly ""Freebird."" Although the scene where it played it did not really match to what was going on and it was kind of confusing to me why they needed it then. Sweet Home Alabama is one of my most overrated and overplayed songs, and whenever I hear it I groan and complain. It's just so annoying! I wouldn't necessarily recommend this to somebody who wants to watch a famous movie, because I would recommend other movies like The Dark Knight or Requiem For A Dream or Donnie Darko or Silence of The Lambs but I can totally see other people recommending Forrest Gump. My advice would be, go check the movie out if you want to, and my opinion on this movie isn't as common as most people. 7/10.",7 "Spider-Man 2 (2004) directed by Sam Rami and starring Tobey Maguire, James Franco, Kirsten Dunst and Alfred Molina. Spider-Man 2 follows the sequel of Peter Parker (Maguire), battling between his identity, his friendship and the villain of the film Doctor Octavis (Molina). Spider-Man 2 is the greatest superhero/ comic-book movie of all time and has much as I consider the Dark Knight the gold standard of CBM film making, Spider- Man 2 is still the peak. That movie? Nolans TDK to me will never surpass. Yes from cinematography, to sound design, to writing, The Dark Knight is the CBM that every studio director and writer try and mimic. But we're talking 13 years of Spider-Man 2 being called the greatest, over Batman (1989) and Superman (1978) it had suspense, comedy, romance, character development, an enthralling sub plot behind Aunt Mays financial problems, to Doc Ock. The CGI was fantastic and wasn't used as a crutch like the next 3 Sony projects to follow. The story was heavy hearted and sad, and the plot was actually really good. And the acting has never been any better. Overall my grade rating is 100% (A+) I really love this movie.",10 "Aside from Rick and Cliff, a bunch of side plots and scenes that barely go anywhere. For such a long movie, there still wasn't enough of Rick and Cliff particularly their last night getting drunk. The ending saved the film. Good acting and set design isn't enough for a good movie. Without Tarantino's name and the underlying Mansons' backstory, I bet this would be rated much lower. I'd rather just watch a 2.5 hr documentary on the Mansons...",6 "I checked the reviews of this show before watching to make sure it was even worth it, and the ones I read were mostly positive. A lot of them were actually 9 or 10 star reviews claiming this to be the best show of the year, a masterpiece, etc. And so I watched and came to this conclusion: The Witcher audience of the IMDb community let me down. Now, there are aspects of the show that deserve some recognition. Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia is an excellent choice. I've never played the game, but from what I've been told he embodies the main character to a great extent. Even setting that point aside, he's still a good Geralt. You don't have to be a fan of the game to pick up on that. The young actress who plays Ciri is very believable and has her shining moments. In short, they nailed casting for 2/3 main characters (more on this later). Secondly, the production is done well. When I say this I mean the locations, resources, wardrobe, and such. The soundtrack has its moments too. It's hard to complain considering that the music fits the show. These are all good things. Now onto the bad... Episode one is missing a big part of what should've been apart of the foundation for the story. World building. There was absolutely none of it, and it's a wonder how they forgot to do it. Maybe they thought it was unnecessary because it originated from a game? Still, there's no excuse. The game origin is an even bigger reason to put the effort into making the world believable. There were a lot of heavy magical concepts and prophecies dumped on the audience first ep that were obviously meant to set up foreshadowing or even have a higher meaning to come. World building definitely would've brought a greater sense of relevancy to those moments, but because the world is half baked who really cares? Next issue is the script. Not the worst but a good script is a must for a show in this genre to be taken seriously. A show also needs to have good writing. The dialogue was meh but the overall general sense of direction and pacing for the show was messy. And not in a good way. The plot is a good idea (technically the game developers and book authors get creds for this) - but how it was drawn out was disappointing. A lot of that may have to do with directing as well. A great deal of the scenes were simply weird to watch and this was also not a good thing. The actors didn't help either. The actress who plays Yennifer is OK. But OK is not okay when you are a main character along side two other main characters who surpass you by a great deal. She simply wasn't that believable especially in the phase two of her characterization (you'll know what this means if you watch). Everyone besides the other main two actors that which were already stated were mediocre or not right for the part. When reading this it sounds like the show is horrible, so I just want to state that it is far from it. It's entertaining for sure, but it's definitely not the powerhouse show that it's being made out to be. Not even close. There's a reason that a show like Game of Thrones or a movie like the Lord of the Rings is a genre favorite. They make sure they show up for the bare necessities early on and they do a damn good job of it. Hell, they do such a great job of it in those productions that if anything outside of the basics misses the mark later on it's forgivable. Not the case for this show. Either they clean it up or the upcoming seasons will reveal the hollowness that so many have overlooked (still not sure how this happened btw).",7 "The sign that a film is of no interest to my daughter is when she starts doing something else instead of watching it. This was clearly not a film of interest to her. She's the only one who still plays with Barbies at home, but the story was very hard for her to follow, and there wasn't enough fun for kids her age, she just rolled on the floor and did other things rather than watch. I'm not sure who the movie was for, possibly 40-50yo women? I feel like I've been sucked in by some serious marketing skills because at some point over Christmas I felt that this was a film that I really had to see, then after about 10 minutes I was wondering why on earth I was watching it, and this feeling was vindicated as the movie progressed,",2 """Come in close. Because the more you think you see, the easier it'll be to fool you..."" Not only do the distributors of Now You See Me use this piece of gripping dialogue as the tagline for the film, but exhibitors will also utilise it to trick international audiences into delving into their pockets and wasting their time with this enormously disappointing and unexciting caper film. Now You See Me follows the story of four magicians, known as The Four Horsemen, as they captivate the world with 'magical', near inexplicable bank heists before rewarding their audiences and supporters with the money they take. The only trickery happening here is being hypnotised by the highly intriguing trailer, only to find you yourself have been robbed as you sit in disbelief that you paid to see a film that is about as unique and intricate as a card game of snap! Despite the sensational ensemble of Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Mélanie Laurent, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, they fail to assemble accordingly. They all deliver satisfactory performances but are not given the opportunity to flourish as we may have seen them do so in past roles. This is primarily due to the fact that director Louis Leterrier, along with the writers, attempt to pull too many rabbits out of the hat at one time and so rather than enjoy one bunny at a time, we instead see a ton of terrific actors be undervalued and restricted in showcasing their talents. Most oddly, The Four Horsemen (Eisenberg, Fischer, Harrelson and Franco) are even given surprisingly little screen time after their thirty minute introduction as the film begins. In all fairness, Now You See Me does remain consistent. Consistently unintriguing that is. The film's aforementioned tagline, along with unsubtle hints scattered dubiously throughout regarding the illusionary concept of misdirection, completely ruin any surprise and twist that the 'suspense' film has to offer. By doing this the film leaves little to be unveiled during the climax, one would think, though time is actually wasted explaining all of the plot points you already guessed, while conjuring up new components to the story that remain unresolved and/or illogically explained to the extent that even in a film about magic/illusions, you fail to believe any of the tricks being performed. The illusion of cinema fails as much as the illusion of magic fails to prevail in Now You See Me. Now You See Me is comparable to the student who believes they are the cool fresher on campus, the funniest, with a unique personality, and a mistaken sense of self-intelligence that causes them to continue to contribute to seminars despite the fact they never answer anything correctly. No, in fact, Now You See Me needs to be told by its peers (let's say that's us) that it is not nearly as intellectually gifted, cool, witty or exceptional as it pretends to be. You most certainly will not miss out on anything if you chose not to befriend this dull, generic and embarrassingly misleading film, that is posing as an intricate and sophisticated figure on the surface. When the first thought on my mind after exiting my cinema seat after Now You See Me was ""I actually wish the film had been sold out so I could have returned home to watch The Prestige (2006) or see Man of Steel (2013) again"", it pretty much encapsulates my attitude towards the disappointing Leterrier film. While there is nothing necessarily evident to hate in Now You See Me, there is not a single component to commend as great either. Now You See Me is truly a forgettable 115 minute time thief, and though I have Seen it Now, I would have preferred instead to have missed it and been kept under the illusion that it was in fact an intricate tale, rather than a misdirected fail.",3 "This is dumbest and most boring movie i ever seen. IMAX 3d didn't make it better. The primitiveness of the plot and dialogs between characters is probably excusable for the movie built based on comics book. Couple of flat jokes and tons of trivial visual effects - that is a movie. Cheap ""fast food"" type of movie w/o a soul and template based product for mass consumption. Actors - the actors were acting well huh it's their job after all. Scarlet was charming as usual - but unfortunately character she was playing didn't give her much area to reveal her actress talent. I must admit her Russian accent is very very awful :=). Sad to see that so many people really liked that stuff giving high rated exited reviews.

I liked the story of this drama, it is really gripping and flawless but I am not sure about the main character, Lilly.",8 "I have watched 100+ anime. And this one really is amazing it has great animations, amazing story and great colors it's an absolute masterpiece. Had me make a whole TikTok profile for one of the characters, (lol) but that's how amazing the show is.",8 "This film cannot be called bad, a lot of effort and money has been invested in it, the only thing that comes to mind is that the film is out of place. Danny Elfman's classical music is out of place, in the style of ""Justice League"", changing to electric guitar solos in creepy moments. Out of place is a game with transitions from Sam Raimi, in the style of the ""Charmed"" intro titles. Too adult, perhaps even elderly topics and jokes are out of place, as if the target audience of the film is not teenagers, but women and a man over 65. The unconditional decoration of the film was the game of Elizabeth Olsen, but even she could not correct the fact that the writers of the ""Multiverse"" gave up on the solo project of the actress ""WandaVision"", where her heroine had already managed to pass the path of redemption. To put it bluntly, the Scarlet Witch is needed in this film as a tool for introducing America Chavez. The situation becomes even worse from the fact that America is a character who is an idol of young people for her punchy temper, the whole movie just runs after Strange, without having a clear motivation or any thought behind her actions. The story of Wanda succumbed to corrosion in this chapter. Unfortunately, the story is told on behalf of Stephen, suffering from unrequited love and condemnation from the outside, so we are not shown Wanda's doubts, it is not shown how the book of the damned affects her mind. We are immediately thrown into the story, where she is bad bad witch that should be stopped no matter what. Funny, how Strange being called for ""When i did it i become enemy"" in the movie. Speaking of the book Darkhold, which is used in story as a catalyst for everything dark in Wanda, it should be mentioned that the book was owned not only by her. Both Agatha and Strange, after applying the spells of the darkhold, were in a sober mind and remained themselves. But as soon as Wanda touched the book, she immediately lost all moral foundations and turned into a mad witch. Well, i think we see this film before and we didn't like the ending. Immediately an unexpected comparison comes to mind at first glance - the Dark Phoenix from fox studios. In both pictures, powerful red-haired girls are forced to sacrifice for the common good and suffer for their mistakes, while male characters in the person of Charles Xavier in Fox case and Stephen Strange in Marvel case are given the opportunity for redemption without any sacrifice on theirs. If we talk about the film not so deeply, then it is a good family dramcomedy with horror elements, the target audience of which is the director himself, 62-year-old Sam Raimi. This film is riddled with issues of aging, lack of happiness in life and raising of a new generation. Surprisingly, the ""Multiverse of Madness"" turned out to be more like a 1+1 drama comedy than a witchy horror movie.",4 I've watched 6 seasons so far on netflix and there was only a single moment I laughed. Too clowny for me.,3 When i started watching this show i thought it's just a kid television but after 2 or 3 episode i actually like this all of character. all those character are good Millie Bobby Brown she doing amazing work. i like this show.,9 "This movie is a long waste of time. It's all about special effects and confusing plot twists. It's idea at the basis is understandable but they go about carrying it out in way too convoluted a manner and get carried away with plots within plots. It makes The Matrix seem like child's play. Save your time and money and watch a movie that makes sense and is enjoyable. I just got my review back and it said I had to be long, like this movie, and review it with at least 10 lines of text. How much more can I say about a movie that wasted 2.5 hours of my time in the theater and now requires I waste more time in reviewing it? I have never cared much for Leonardo DiCaprio as an actor and his only redeeming feature was his work for the environment and involvement with the movie (scarely seen by anyone) entitled, The 11th Hour (2007). That is a movie I do recommend watching. Other than that, he did 'ok' in Shutter Island, a movie which is far superior to Inception.",3 "Soderbergh's look at a sexually repressed woman's(Macdowell) life whose husband(Gallagher) is having an affair with her sister(San Giacomo), and the situation is further disrupted when a visitor(Spader) with a perverted fetish hits town. Soderbergh's early film is not has high-budget and edited flashily as his other pictures, but its effective in telling its story and was pretty interesting throughout. The performances were pretty good, spader was decent as was Gallagher but San Giacomo and MacDowell were pretty good. I heard a lot of hype about spader's performance but he wasn't extraordinary here. I liked this film, but at times it seemed a bit contrived and the characters actions were a bit out of sync with the rest of the film. --- IMDb Rating: 7.0, my rating: 8/10",8 "Would have given it less than 1 star if that was an option. Dark, miserable and empty. The characters are so unlikelable it's almost comical, you will be questioning your own judgement as not one single character is likeable. And to echo others, Kidman's face is like a horror show in itself, the scene where she starts laughing at the morgue is like a scary, gaunt clown with a scarecrow haircut, laughing hysterically, without actually moving her face, just dead eyes and a sound coming from her mouth. Her face is so distracting, in the most awful way and there's no way in hell she can pass off as being mother to such young children anymore. Don't bother watching! I just had it on in the background for most of it and it still managed to annoy me enough to leave this bitter review.",1 "I found it very uneven, seeing Joe Pesci was great but De Niro and Pacino were going through the motions of acting but were very below par. It seemed to centre around Jimmy Hoffa and Scorsese's take on what happened. They never found him. It seems to me Scorsese said I'm going to make a mob movie which just didn't work for me.",4 "I'm still not half way through the movie but my mind is pretty much made up. I think the cinematography is wonderful, I like the costumes, the acting. I actually like a lot of things. The only thing completely misses the mark for me is the script. It falls victim to the same thing that so many other potentially good stories do; the whole central conflict is dependent on people acting completely unreasonable. The whole plot would just crumble if people actually behaved and talked like people do or did back in the early 20th century. I'm also not sure how I feel about the score. It's almost as if it's overcompensating for the lack of anything interesting happening. Suspenseful music often keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire scene and you expect something awful or grand or surprising to happen. And then nothing ever happens. You begin feeling betrayed by it. Like it never delivers on its promise of action or drama. Then the movie just seems to lull on forever.",3 "As JK Rowling said, this new saga is not for anyone.. Only real potterheads are going to enjoy it as it deserves...great movie, wonderful cast, awesome effects, and incredible soundtrack!",7 """Parineeta"" is based on a classic Indian novel, and the movie is probably the third or fourth remake of the novel. The plot/story of the movie is of the nature that could SO EASILY have been a big blunder at the box office. I had no intentions to go see the movie since I felt it would be a serious waste of my time and money. As time went by, the movie became more and more popular amongst masses. I grew compelled to see what really made it so. But props to the Parineeta team to choose a wonderful star cast that drove me to see the film. Saif Khan's recent performances and of course Sanjay Dutt motivated me to go see the film. Still not expecting much, I have no words to explain it, but I was truly shocked by the direction, editing of the movie backed by some of the best acting and screenplay I have seen in the Indian Film Industry. The movie, 130 minutes long, is also unlike other Indian movies which run easily 150+ minutes. The movie is crisp, and edited to perfection. Saif Khan and Sanjay Dutt were great like always, but Vidya Balan surprised me in her debut film. This movie has set a new standard for Indian films. I like the direction in which Indian films are headed. 2004-05 has been a break through year for actors, directors for the Indian Film Industry, and movies like Parineeta is the fruit for the efforts.",9 "This is a cop/legal thriller set in Boston and produced by two of Massachusetts' favorite sons, Ben Aflek and Matt Damon. It's a great story, well written and the cast is very strong. Kevin Bacon really brings his sleazy FBI agent character to life. My only problem with the show is that in nearly every scene, the producers are shoving down your throat that the story takes place in Boston. I watched the entire 10 show first season and I heard 3 ""R's"" or ""AHHS"" They even throw in that now officially cliched line from ""The Departed"" when Mark Wahlberg's character comes at DiCaprio's in his job interview and questions his authenticity about ""comin' round' hair and droppin' yar AHH's like ya from hair"". I had to roll my eyes. In City On A Hill the line comes from some bad guy's wife insulting the absolutely stunning Sarah Shahi, who plays an investigating detective on the show. In almost every scene at least one or maybe all of the actors wear some sort of Boston shirt. A shamrock here, a Celtic's Logo there, an Irish Priest, the obligatory Irish Pub Scene, Hell, we even get a cop funeral with bagpipes (Those are Scottish by the way) and on and on... We get it Matt. The staahry takes place in Bahston. So come for the Charlestown Bank Robbers and stay for the Bacon.",6 What a awsome movie after so long . Simple story but the script is excellent .. karthi awsome acting .. not even a single minute you feel bored .. worth watching in theatre . Dont waste money for diwali release bigil . Just go and watch this movie,10 "A reviewer here described this as ""the most Micheal Bay movie Micheal Bay ever Micheal Bayed"" and I couldn't agree more. I hope the haphazard nature of my review will reflect well with how haphazard the film is itself. No real story, senselessly arranged cuts that have no semblance of order, corny lines, random (albeit beautiful) international locations, mix-matched music choices, destructive car chases and explosions everywhere. I mean, EVERYWERE! Car hits a wall? Explosion. Rebar falls onto ground? Explosion. Van parks in a field? Explosion. Man falls down? EXPLOSION! I mean look, I love Bay's action flicks and explosions but this is just too much. It gets tedious just a few minutes in. I never though I would say this but there IS such a thing as too much action in a single film. The potentially thrilling car chase for example, became inane with abnormally vast quantities of carnage and blood. The film could have done without the over-the-top parkour and corny humor that makes little sense. The score makes it hard to figure out who they were really trying to appeal to. One scene they make fun of millennial and the next, they choose music from internet memes. They try to balance this with humor that relies on repetition. There is almost zero character building or a hint of originality. In fact, Ryan Reynolds is an almost exact duplicate of his role in Deadpool, just a little more politically correct. The rest are as characterless as they come. The pace, is too fast. Quite like those 'XYZ in 10 minutes' YouTube videos, the flick feels like a shortened summary version of what could have been a 12 episode TV mini-series. The only way I can explain away this spawn of a film is that either Michael Bay has lost it and gone senile way too early or this was some kind of a parody. Watch it if you have nothing else to watch and just want to see some Acton with friends and popcorn. Otherwise move on and watch something else.",4 Kangana will keep you engaged throughout the movie with her powerful performance,10 Just slightly missed the mark. Thought it could've been funnier or more sad. It kind of wavers in a weird muddle ground.,7 "1. It is theatre and not film; everything - from costumes to dialogue - plays like theatre. 2. It's clearly created by a millennial with blue hair, and that gets tedious pretty quickly.",5 "It appears this series was plagiarized (aka stolen) and an alleged settlement was reached in the first lawsuit. A second lawsuit has since been filed. Ideas get stolen all the time in Hollywood, so a word to the wise - get a copyright. Regardless of the Duffer Bros actual input on the creation of the series, the first season is a fantastic thrill ride through 1980s cinematic nostalgia - think Aliens meets Stand by Me. The casting director did an outstanding job in finding and selecting the younger cast members. Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Sadie Sink show great promise. Veterans Cara Buono and David Harbour give wonderful and impressive performances crafted from their years of developed talent. Watch Harbour in this series, then watch him play a corrupt CIA section chief in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace.",8 "Having not read the books, I can't speak for the quality of the story itself, but things just feel so forced in these episodes. The show overall felt so overrated",6 "Why do some people wish for a sequel to be just like the original? That way, there's no need to make a sequel ever. Don't compare, it was a murder mystery that was more lighthearted than the original. The pacing was a bit slow in the beginning. There are a small handful of cringy jokes here and there but almost every joke here landed. And I enjoyed it. Great cast, good character development, a great twist, and an explosive ending. Janelle Monae did a great job and Daniel Craig is amazing as always. Overall, I'd say this movie is just as good as the first. Can't wait for a third sequel. This time in space!",8 "It could have easily veered off to jingoism,BUT what URI gives is very subtle description of war strategy. It is surely inspired by Zero Dark Thirty. There are no usual Bollywood Tropes like love interest, song and dance, added here. It will surely inspire younger generation to join Armed forces.",10 It does not deserve all the Oscars it has got and its just an averagely done movie. More deserving movies have been left out of oscars just to oppose the government. Such a shame.,2 "Cast was excellent, story line complicated but coherent and enjoyable. The music and sound effects were wonderful but sometimes would step on characters lines making the pace and accents incredibly difficult to keep up with. Kudos to most of the voice actors but for United States distribution it would have been a more pleasant experience if American accents were completely used.",8 "I watched the movie after it won the best actress Golden Globe. I had high expectations. I read so many great reviews, people saying what a great movie this is. Unfortunately it is only a great mess. The only positive thing I can say about this movie is that it is somehow original. But it was unbearable. Terrible plot,terrible cinematography. It looked like a fan made movie. Some scenes were totally awful and hard to watch. It was quite gory and disgusting. I could not watch it until the end ,and even if I did, my opinion would not change. No ending can save an unwatchable movie. I suspect that many people were paid to leave great reviews. It is trashy.",2 This is a great movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. The Avengers is better. But still this is a great movie. See it. It is one of the best movies ever.,9 "Music of this movie is : ""I was shocked"". And The composer made me cringe.",9 "A lot of action and chasing scenes, hundreds of guns and bullets, also missiles too. with many killings. And all for only one boy who is son of gangster of Mumbai kidnapped by Dhaka Gangster. Central character of of course Chris Hemsworth who plying role of a contract killer then develop a emotional link with that son. This is story. Except middle part there is always tension and thrill till end. Acting by Chris is always he done in action role. Role of son played by Rudraksh is well. Remembrance role by Golshifteh Farahani of handler of Tyler and Randeep Hooda. End is open and I am waiting for sequel.",7 "What I love most about this film is that if you strip it of the superhero aspect it's just a really compelling and interesting spy flick. This movie sets the tone for the rest of the MCU, it's dark and that's the point. The fight scenes are incredible and fast pace, there's an element of mystery and just the right about of anxiety. On top of it you have a main villain who's not really the villain fighting for a larger villain. This may be my favorite movie ever.",10 "Everything is fantastic so far, which might change later... So far with two episodes for us, is good.... I'd say exponential. But again that dork doesn't look like Chris Evans or better he isn't Captain America! That's what gives 8 and not 10.",8 "Must watch, everyone should see, this movie very special for action lover.",9 At the seventh episode I gave up. The series is full of weird decisions and physical inaccuracies. Forced Drama.,3 "Why netflix didnt learn anything after all those failures? Why is it so difficult to stick to the lore of a perfectly told story? Why is it so difficult to respect perfectly detailed and armed characters? Why is it so difficult not to change the race and sexual orientation of all the characters? These and other questions arose watching the witcher, I couldn't enjoy it somehow they managed to get me bored watching the witcher!! The novel that I loved and listened to on audiobook from beginning to end I couldn't finish watching it because they made it so boring!!! Also constantly seeing those details that ruin the whole context, it's like the story jumps and doesn't give you any context of the situation the characters are in, nor does it bother trying to get you to put yourself in their place, it's like jumps place to place just rubbish, henry has every reason to leave the project.",3 "This started of a bit boring but man it got better and better, I definitely recommend it.",9 "This is my first review for IMDB, so forgive me if it's not the best, but I'm very motivated to write. This series is now in its third season and I rewatched it to give it another chance. The original series and even the 1997 movie were great and I thoroughly enjoyed both. This... I cannot get into. The ""kids know better than their parents"" trope is really getting old. The Judy character is just so...ugh. Her sarcasm is unwelcome and nasty at times and I honestly don't know if I can make it through this again. Edit: I didn't bother.",3 Worst show ever So disappointed and so boring show i have ever seen disney ruined our beloved mcu.,1 I wasn't expecting this good !! All the actors nailed their performances..esp pankaj sir and rajkumar rao. Even junior bacchan was good. The storyline and perspective of fulfilment of life was beautifully written and portrayed by the director !,9 "Wow !!! What a movie . Amazing story spectacularly directed with real life like characters played by great actors . This movie is truly good . This is the story of insia and her mother not a story of Aamir khans character he has about 25 mins of screen time. The actors were so good . Zaira was great , Meher was amazing and Aamir sir was truly spectacular . Aamir sir played one of the most different characters ever written in Bollywood and he had fun with it . Most of the comedy is provided by him. The screenplay and direction was great as well . This movie was very emotional and it was a very real life story and i believe many can relate with it . Such a good movie .Just Amazing!!!",9 "The Dark Knight Rises. The most anticipated film of the decade so far, and the finisher to an epic trilogy. Only perfection will do, it seems. Unfortunately, perfection is something that has arguably never been achieved in film, so asking that of Nolan may be a bit much. What should be asked of Nolan, however, is cohesion. And it is this which drags the film from an intelligent and deep thriller down to an average summer blockbuster. The lack of cohesion manifests itself in each element of the film, as sporadic directing hampers an ambitious story. When dealing with a story of this scale, intimacy is the key balance that must be applied; but intimacy is hard to find. We are given stacks of characters with their own branching stories, but none of them feel particularly fulfilled. Bane's history is lightly explored, and a dire lack of information is regards to Selina Kyle brings down what is otherwise a respectable performance from Anne Hathaway. Our titular hero is also handled bizarrely, being followed religiously by the story at the beginning of the film, only to be lost in a sea of scenarios by the second half. The reason the Dark Knight was so compelling was that it was focused - The Joker and Batman were polar opposites, and flowed seamlessly along the story line. But with Rises, the lines are blurred; as characters swap sides and back-stab with seemingly no reason or motive. Such flippant and fickle disregard can only be tolerated by the audience for so long. Overall, the film is a mixed bag of jarring ideas and contrived messages; but when stripped to it's core, it's an exciting and menacing spectacle. It's just a shame that its predecessor's integrity wasn't kept intact.",5 "I found the storyline bland, disappointing, and imaginative. The filming was nice, and the acting was good, but the story and dialogue we're extremely disappointing, it seemed like the writers tried to force the ""second chance"" and good guy story, some of the plot didn't make sense, and the ending was incredibly sad. It could have been such a fantastic movie, but the storyline is just bad.",4 "To start with, you know that the train will be stopped. That's not a spoiler but a fact. It's not worth my time to point out the technical inaccuracies in this film, since other reviewers have done a far better job than I could ever do. The thing is though, that this is a film manufactured to amuse the masses who really don't care about logic. I'll admit that there were some exciting scenes, but they were so poorly linked together that they simply failed to cover the gaping plot holes. If you like your thrills when your brain is in neutral then this is a fine film, but any comparisons to ""Speed"" are doing that film a grave injustice. This is just incomprehensibly illogical (captain), and just makes no sense at all. Since I'm writing a non-spoiler review I won't reveal the ending, but I can think of at least five ways that the train could have been stopped far earlier in the film, and the eventual ""Stoppage"" was just one of them. It had its moments, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who is looking for a real thrill.",5 Is there a public for movies as stupid as this one. I have difficulties to understand how M. Laurent can play in such a braindead movie.,1 "How does it get worse than season 1?????? Seriously? You have Superman!!!!! Henry is great. The rest, is, well.....mehhhh No excuse for this atrocity. Never finished the games but it wasn't a good show. Poor dialogue and awful character development. Diversity majors definitely work for Netflix.",3 "I thought for sure the movie was going to be good considering the actors within. The fact that it won awards over other movies, made me think there is no way this isn't going to be a good movie. I was wrong. It takes More then just a few fancy CGI scenes, and some explosions make a movie. So where do I begin. The technical part of this movie is lacking. Its starts off with a scene of astronauts just carelessly floating around outside the ship, along with two just having a nice little conversation in space with no apparent reason to believe they are aware of their surroundings. Warned of impending trouble and they seem to just take their time. One goes floating out into space and the spinning made me feel like I was ill. Disregard the fact that if that had happened the game is over for that crew member. No way another would risk loosing himself to go after that person in all that turmoil. Then comes macho Clooney. They have been up there all that time and they know nothing about each other? OK yeah sure. He is in peril just as much as she is and they just nicely have a conversation while floating back to more trouble. Character development is not there. We have no emotional state in their survival. Beyond the clichés and unreal options, the movie falls flat. We got one picking buttons via eenie meenie minnie mo and another who just gives up without a fight after risking it all to rescue someone. I cant tell you anymore suffice to say the films ending isn't much better then what you already see leading up to it. You just are left with a ""That was it? feeling and a wow I wasted that hour of my life. I give 4 stars only cause of the two actors trying to make it work. Otherwise the film is a flop. Gotta do better Hollywood if you are going to keep our attention.",4 The action sequences and the message that the show transmits are very well done and almost perfectly; but the plot is simply boring comparing what marvel has already brought.,7 "Walking out of the screening, one of my friends remarked that he hated this Harry Potter film, stating it is the ""worst"" in the series. I disagree, but understand exactly why he thinks this way. As anyone who has read the book knows, a large part of the seventh book is buildup towards the definite battle that awaits. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 is just buildup. If you have read the book, you will enjoy this film as it is faithful to the spirit of the book; if you know Harry simply through the films, you might be disappointed. For it is filmed with camping in deserted locations, forests, and other odd locations to escape from Voldermort's grasp. This is really why some critics absolutely hate this film as they can not fathom the amount of buildup this film does. However, if they want to criticise anyone, they should critique Rowling as this is a faithful adaption of her book. Radcliffe and Grint are great as always, but the welcome surprise is Emma Watson whose acting has gotten better and better, and she reaches a new peak. She balances each relationship very decisively , putting different emotional layers in treating Harry and Ron. In addition, the landscapes are as gorgeous as ever, and the special effects have become surprisingly better-especially Voldermort's snake which sent chills through my spine. The emotion the film induces does something that the book never did for me. It takes it out of this magical world, and into the real world, and makes the evil present in Harry's World seem like the fear many people battling evil might have felt in Germany, during the 1930's and forties. Hermione's attempt to save her parents from the hands of evil give us another view in this world which almost mirrors us in terms of what these people go through to wipe this evil horror. The deathly Hallows may be a boring film for those unfamiliar with the book, but for the readers of this tale it is the most faithfully done adaptation. Sure, the film does not succeed on a film lover's point of view, but one must remember any disappointment felt with this film will evaporate with the menacing, blood spilling second part.",10 "The Change-Up was a lot better than it's made out to be. Some really hilarious scenes but also a lot of poop jokes that are lowbrow even for it. The entire concept is way too dated and would feel out of place in some ABC sitcom, let alone a full feature, but it's kind of worth watching just to see Jason Bateman play so against type. He's really vulgar and raunchy and it's just a lot of fun to watch him let loose instead of playing the straight man like always. So a pretty awful concept and some bad jokes (the first twenty minutes I kept thinking, ""Oh god, this is going to suck."") eventually make way for some solid laughs and a nice, unique performance from one of my favorite comedic actors.",5 "Whatever you've thought of Tarantino's previous films, you're likely to feel similarly about this one. The most pleasant surprise and difference for me was the humor - it was by far his funniest movie from start to finish, with great individual lines (""we love pussy"" ""yes we do"") to great character moments (Rick giving himself a pep talk or the acid scene at the end). The jokes landed well, and there were a bunch. As you would expect, the performances were very good, especially Leo, who's excellent as the lead, and Pitt, who's also very convincing. Robbie's role was completely insignificant to the plot (though obviously central to the meaning and real story being referenced here), and regardless of the implications of her role, if she was nominated for best supporting actress for a small few unremarkable scenes, I would be extremely disappointed. My biggest frustration with the film, as always, is with the third act. Much like in Django, it felt like Tarantino was really doing his best to hold back and make a nice, consistent movie, was going along... and just couldn't take it anymore and let it run absolutely wild in the last 20 minutes. Fully indulgent and over the top violence ensues in a way that makes the rest of the carefully crafted Manson story and character stories of Rick and Cliff feel less serious and legitimate. The relationship to the real murders felt fairly tangential, especially with the ending we see. I appreciate that Tarantino makes a clear effort to portray Tate not as a victim but as a real person, but given her complete irrelevance to the movie's story, I don't think it's completely impactful. Beyond the real life story which is its inspiration, it feels like a classic grand Tarantino with little substance or things that will stay with you. I don't regret watching it as it's funny and isn't boring, but is definitely meandering, and the juxtaposition between the ending and everything before didn't work at all for me.",6 "The heros are like just kids, no personality, they spend whole season trying to find the truth, but at the same time when someone try to answer their questions then they just don't wanna hear. They scream, fight, drink, they do everything to don't know the truth, and it's just boding. But well, its like all original netflix. I really like Ellen, but her character its a teenager falling in love for someone the doesn't treat her well, and yes, she doesn't wanna hear the truth about him either.",4 "'Venom: Let There Be Carnage', the second non-MCU Venom film, sees alien symbiote Venom and Eddie Brock (Hardy) learning how to share the same body. The film introduces Cletus Kasady (Harrelson) as a disturbed killer and his partner Frances (Harris) early on, before focusing on the odd-couple relationship of Venom/Eddie for the first act, which is quite fun. Anne (Williams) and Dan (Scott) are back as Eddie's ex and her new partner. Mulligan (Graham) is the cop trying to figure out what's going on with Eddie and has a link to Kasady & Frances. Besides Tom & Woody - both good to see having fun with their characters - no-one really gets much screen time, but things move along very quickly (only ~90min total), as the final showdown when Kasady becomes ""Carnage"" inevitably happens. Some solid CGI, which is required, but a poor soundtrack and a bit of a nothing plot. Feel like we needed more Dan & Mrs Chen (Lu) - the comedy aspects are done quite well and some of the action is good, but there's nothing really new or too exciting. End credits scene is worth waiting for.",6 "In a Superhero fueled genre era ""The Boys"" is a refreshing look at what if the caped crusaders are not here to protect our freedom and liberty but to actually get famous and rich. Season 1 had both wonderful moments as well as ""Why the F** am I binge watching this"" moments but I would surely say I wasn't disappointed and am looking forward to Season 2.",8 "Im going to make this short, there's cero creativity in this jumpscare fest, all the scenes are made to put a jumpscare at the end, the characters are as bland as they can be, in the last conjuring they made me worried about the warren's daughter, and in this movie all that conection died out, there's no real danger for the characters, theres a fricking (SPOILER) .....werewolf in it for sakes .....(end of spoiler)....every single scare is super predictable, to make it simple, this is super boring, yeah you get a couple of jumps but this movie adds nothing at all to the franchise and the saddest thing is that the core concept of a whole haunted collection getting set lose was actually pretty interesting, some ""cabin in the wood"" esque stuff, im super sad that this is the direction that this cinematic universe is taking after the nun and la llorona, that were both let downs too....",1 "There was a lot of hype behind this film before I got a chance to see it myself, reading review after review...........giving extremely high praise and being tipped to win Best Picture at this year's Oscar's!!!!! It had a lot to live up too............I am please to say that for the most part, yes this film is truly incredible.....however I ended up not liking it as much as I thought I would !! There is three people behind the camera I want to congratulate first on this epic achievement. Firstly, no surprise, Sam Mendes..........to even think the idea of shooting the film pretty much one take or so it looks like it was done in one take, is extremely ballsy. Granted he isn't the first or the last filmmaker to use this technique on film, however nobody has come close to this scale as of yet.......especially in a war film. Right from the get go the film starts and it doesn't stop at all really until the end, the run time flies by...........this is helped by the ""one shot"" use. Simple but an interesting, emotionally driven story that keeps you riveted all the way along........you as the audience are taking each corner or scene with the characters. The amount of detail that has gone into this film is incredible, especially after watching some of the behind the scenes...........wow, a truly wonderful achievement, one of Mendes's best. The other two people behind the camera who deserve a mention are Roger Deakins and Thomas Newman respectively. The combination of their cinematography and score at times really really does leave you speechless............both of them absolutely top class ! George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman are both great in the film, its definitely helped by the fact that they are relatively unknown actors, which can only help in the audience immersion and believability of their characters. You simply believe them and their rationale for everything they do and say..........they are young men being put in an almost impossible position, I cant quiet fathom how terrifying that sort thing must have been............if this story were real ! There some great little cameos to from some extremely recognisable faces. Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Richard Madden and Benedict Cumberbatch all have small roles but are extremely effective. The film needed someone who was more experienced.......a leader and all of them were great on screen for their limited time. Good work! However after all of that I'm left in a really strange place...........I really really liked the film it is very good don't get me wrong, its just maybe I was expecting something that much better considering the hype?!?!?! I don't know what it is about the film there is just something.......not lacking but something that little bit extra special.....I cant put it into words or describe it.....its just a feeling!! Put it this way if you gave me the choice of watching ""1917"" or ""Dunkirk"" or ""Hacksaw Ridge"" I wouldn't choose ""1917"".........Its just not very re-watchable!?!??! Overall though with that little minor gripe out the way I still really really enjoyed the film it is very good 80% out of 100.........not my favourite of the year, actually nowhere near being the best of year for me........but thats my personal opinion!! Great directing, acting, production design, cinematography and score...........just not very re-watchable for me unfortunately!! But definitely should go and see in the theatre !!!!",8 "The sheer joy of watching someones hard-work come to life on the screen is inspiring indeed. To portray Milkha Singh's struggle and achievements and his zeal to succeed at the world stage, required an equally earnest and dedicated effort by the filmmakers. This effort is reflected in Bhag Milkha Bhag, and is what makes the film commendable. Farhan Akhtar's tough physical training for this role pays great dividends on screen. The races look pretty convincing because of Farhan's effort and soon you find yourself cheering for Milkha, if not loudly in the movie-hall then at-least in your head. The non-linear narrative of the film keeps the movie engrossing, so although you know the basic outline of the story, you can't really guess what would happen next. The story is narrated by Milkha's coach Gurudev Singh played brilliantly Pavan Malhotra by who first recognizes the Milkha Singh's talent. The women in Milkha Singh's life play a very important role, be it his elder sister (played by Divya Dutta)who single handedly brings Milkha up, or the love of his life (Sonam Kapoor) who is the reason why he changes his unruly ways. Although one must add, that the part where Milkha goes on a romp after a party with Stella(Rebecca Brooks) during the 1956 Melbourne Games does look a bit forced. Some people may have qualms with the dance sequences but personally they were quite enjoyable and didn't jar the narrative. Keep an eye out for the song with Sonam Kapoor who plays Milkha Singh's love interest in the film. The shot with them both on top of a bridge with green, swiftly flowing water below was captured beautifully. The director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has a signature style which is apparent like from his previous films- Rang De Basanti and Delhi-6. He can merge music and visuals to great effect. Although in some scenes a little bit of restraint in the stylistic details and drama could have certainly helped. To emerge as a world leading athlete from India just after independence, when I suppose sports facilities weren't great, with the scars of the partition deep in his mind is some achievement. We salute you Milkha Singh! One must commend the efforts of the filmmakers to bring the story to us.",9 "After the 3rd Harry Potter film I found it hard to tell the difference between the latest 3, they all seemed a bit confusing, yet that hasn't stopped me from being first in the line for every Potter film that comes out and this was no exception... I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows three times, I absolutely loved it! I was prepared to point out loads of missing parts from the new film, and I was wrong. This was utterly fantastic!! They've definitely gone up a notch in terms of quality and acting. As you probably know, the series is drawing to a close which means everything and anything is happening. I'm not going to spoil it but its definitely my favourite so far, every scene in the film was what I imagined in the book which in my case made the film arguably better. I also want to warn everyone that it is quite scary and there are a few jumpy bits! I'm surprised this isn't rated a 12. (Lady next to me screamed about a hundred times, I wanted to pour my popcorn over her head)",9 "One of the first rules of narrative writing is ""to show, not tell."" This opening episode showed us very little, but it put us through verbal explaination in scene after scene. It was painful to watch the actors work with such a weak script. The storyline was loaded with stereotypical tropes and came across, to me at least, as a poor man's GOT. They tried to cram in every conceivable trope from other more successful series into one episode. It came across as a troubled mess. I've got one more episode in me, just out of a sense of obligation, but I didn't enjoy this first one much at all.",4 "I would like to know if this film was made only for American people for the references? Because it's too long, I almost sleep during the movie! I just wake up to the end (10' to the end). This is one of the worst Tarantino movie, I think! I put 2 stars just for the cast (far from their best acting) and the decor.",2 "When i first came to know about this show i don't know why i didn't seem a lot surprised? may be that's cause of a lot of superhero shows been occupying our small screen since Daredevil became a huge hit on Netflix.But with the failure of Iron fist and a mediocre Luke cage this show didn't make me so excited.But oh my! this show hugely exceeded my expectations. First few episodes were a bit slow but the show picked up pace in the later part of the season mainly from episode 6.The way things are going it makes you hugely satisfied until number five messes up the timeline.This gets on your nerves but you will always sees the apocalypse end coming.Maybe if the siblings had understood their sister,Vanya well you may think that this and all apocalypse thing wouldn't have happened but as i told you will always see the end but you won't or can't stop it coming no matter what choices you make and what you do. With the things hanging on a thread by the end of first season my anticipations for the second season are high.",8 "I saw this at our local IMAX. I didn't expect to be thrilled and wasn't. I did expect to be entertained but wasn't. I did not expect to be bored, but I was. The extreme close-ups in IMAX provided much more info about everyone's pores than I ever wanted to know. The wonderful sequences of Spidey crawling and swinging about were the only things to perk up about. Even the elegant Rosemary Murphy managed to irritate. Cardboard cartoon characters? Well, of course. It's Spiderman! Don't let all of that talk about it being a relationship movie fool you. It does not work as either a cartoon adventure or a movie about people with real feelings. Somehow the relentless abuse heaped on poor Peter Parker, the ludicrous Molina villian, boring love story, and all that exact-same-level of extreme violence seemed better left to the comics where you can turn the pages at your own pace.",2 "From start to end was a snoozer. If I wanted to watch an hour of someone walking with no action I would watch my ex wife on a treadmill. This is by far the worst "" war movie"" in existence , if you can call it that. The only thing it has going for it is good camera work. Even the blown up town looked like it was made for a high school play. Other than that it was just waiting for something to happen.",2 "I love Steve Martin. Light hearted comedy. Why the need for F-bombs? Seriously!? Tired of all streaming services creating TV-MA shows due to profanity.",3 "...except Janelle Monae, of course. Speaking of, she pretty much just glowers the whole time, bringing no life to this lifeless production. If you like absurd wealth and the real estate it can buy, YouTube is filled with free tours of homes even more insane than the one E. Norton's character owns in the film. Somehow the endless house tour is supposed to fill in for a viable script. There is no point in rehashing the ""story"", the filmmakers are just winging it and expecting the modern sheep-like audience to 'pay the man and buy the popcorn"". Again, everyone looks so OLD! It's embarrassing watching otherwise talented people beclown themselves in roles they cannot convincingly play.",3 "I kept waiting for it to get better, but it just got worse. By the end of the first season, I hated every single character in this absolute trash, violent, demoralizing, profane show. There is not a single redeeming quality in this garbage. All of the bad people are bad for the right reasons, and all of the good people are bad for wrong reasons, and the writers did this all with the obvious intent to make the audience believe that this sort of twisted morality is somehow normal. Everyone in this show is evil. Did I mention demoralizing? They turned every single character into a caricature of absolute depravity. May it burn in the hell it came from. I'm out.",1 "This is a great film if you look at it from a purely graphical perspective. I did not see the film in 3D, but i bet that it would be a great experience. I'm waiting for the DVD to come out so that i can watch the making of and listen to director's commentary; i'm really interested to know how all this was created (from the initial thinking process to the eventual computer graphics). However, here the good comments about this film end. The plot is highly predictable. Which would be OK if there would be a solid character development in the film, but there was not. I was laughing throughout all the intense moments, because they were shown as plot-twists, but one could predict them at least 30 minutes in advance. In conclusion i'd recommend that people watch this film if they want to see individual scenes (many of which are greatly done) or to marvel at the technology of computer graphics. But if you want to see a solid good motion picture, i recommend to give this one a miss.",3 "Netflix, HBO, all other film/series creator still not unerstand the fact. The fact is: 10 episod series every 1-1.5-2 years cause the downfall of the series. Why we still remember Star Trek Next Generation? Or Star Trek Voyager? Or DS9? Or Supernatural? Or Babylon 5? We remember because the creators created enough episode and the series followed each other quickly. Waiting for a series with 8-10 episode for years, please understand: We have lost our interest. That's why chinese, korean and other Asian series so popular. They spend time and money for entertain us. These asian contents are so rich in their stories, so spectacular.",5 "Its best times are long gone when Modern Family used to make good episodes and great seasons with smart dialogue and funny jokes. The last 3/4 seasons are just filled with lame and sarcastic jokes nonstop that make your eyes roll. Having watched this tv show from the very beginning, it's impossible not to be sad for it's closure but honestly, I'm glad it did ended since it wasn't making any sense either. It remains a tv shows that tackled serious problems in a unique and funny way and for that you should see it.",7 "I just can't explain how I'm really feeling right now but i just say well done to the all persons whose involved in this project! Brilliant Performance by Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston , what a breathtaking Chimistry that the brought up for us! The story line and the way that show Tails us , is such a new Perspective by writers in marvel cinematic universe.",9 "Unlike many viewers, I did not play any of the games, nor read the books. I'm in the few, I'm aware. But I was ENTHRALLED by season 1. Henry Cavill is simply RADIANT on screen and the world of The Witcher drew me in fast. I did enjoy season 2 for the most part, however, aspects of it became confusing to me because parts of the writing didn't fit the world of the characters (that's just my opinion obviously, as I'm not familiar with any of the source material). Now... season 3. Did the writers get concussions? I might not be an OG Witcher lover, but I LOVED IT. I loved the characters and their development. BUT NOW THEY'VE RUINED EVERYTHING. BRING HENRY BACK AND FIRE EVERYONE ELSE! Better yet, make Henry Cavill the showrunner and let HIM hire the people he needs to, to do the source material and world justice! Netflix... I swear to god... you ruined Altered Carbon too. HOW DO YOU SCREW UP THIS BADLY?! I'm to the point now that I'm only watching the rest of season 3 to support Cavill, and then I'm out... much like your showrunner's creativity. HOW do you land PERFECTION (literally have the PERFECT LEADING ACTOR) and then just decide ""mmmm... nah. Imma do THIS instead! Derp!"" It's just baffling to me. But by all means, put your heads down and plow into season 4. I think you've severely underestimated the magic you SQUANDERED away so epically. I can only IMAGINE how furious the OG Witcher fans are. 10 (no, 11!) Stars for Cavill, and 0 stars for the writers and showrunners. So, 4 stars overall.",4 "The cast the f....in cast. Kate mara, Michael peña, Ewetel..., every line by these guys and a couple others cuts out any storyline progression done by matt damon and crew or by the vfx. At the end of the day these guys are brilliant at physics, math other techy stuff. not saying ""i can fix that"" and sounding like a car mechanic.",5 "When this show was announced I have to admit I didn't expect much. After the recent mishaps with agents of shield and agent Carter I thought this show would follow suit and not be anything more than filler between the long awaited films. And as I have just finished all 13 episodes, I am so happy to admit that I was wrong. Daredevil takes place in Hell's Kitchen which as my fellow Scots would say is the arsehole of the word. It's a nasty horrible part of New York, and it's where our hero Matt Murdock aka Daredevil (and is a lawyer by day) was born and raised by his father Jack Murdock who was a boxer. After an accident that leaves him blind at the age of nine Matts life changes, he developed special abilities, that are explained in the show so I won't go into them here. And after a number of years of very unfortunate events, and intensive training he honed these skills and has become a mask vigilante. Yes I know clichéd but honestly it was executed very well and one moment nearly brought me to tears. Matt's story is one of tragedy and angry which he later vents out on some thugs and follows the pattern of recent films such as Captain America the winter solider and Gaurdians of the Galaxy where the main protagonist have tragedy thruster upon them. The story then expands into much bigger story about one mans struggle to make his city a better place and having to fight forces that are well equipped and as tenacious as he his. Enter Wilson Fisk, who at first I though was portrayed very strangely, as I was comparing him to the Wilson Fisk I remember from the Spider-Man cartoon back in the day and was expecting this very intimidating man who had unquestionable loyalty of his followers and was intimidating 24/7. But the more I saw, the more I appreciated this take on the character, he is a violent and fiercely intimidating man on the outside, but he's a fragile being on the inside that has a troubled past which bled into his present. I have to say that these two characters where played brilliantly by their actors. The conflict between Murdock and Fisk was more that just fighting on the street, it took a more political route with Fisk trying to destroy daredevils image whilst glorifying his own. This added layers and complications to the characters. And not just Murdock and Fisk, Foggy (Murdocks friend and partner in their law firm) and Karen Page ( a client that later works for them) also find themselves sucked into this struggle against Fisk along with an old fashioned reporter Ben Uric. All played well by their actors. In fact almost every character was portrayed brilliantly and has a significant part to play. One character that I didn't like was a Nurse called Claire who ends up helping Murdock with patching him up after a rough fight. It wasn't her acting, it was her characters reasoning and introduction which I found too convenient and didn't feel right. That, and the fact that some episodes just felt like they where put in to make it 13 episodes are two of the only major complaints I have about the show and the later can be said about game of thrones or breaking bad so I don't hold it against the show too much. What I also liked was the dark gritty nature of the show, which was refreshing from the light-heartedness of other marvel projects, it added a sense of realism and relatability to not only the show but also the whole Marvel Universe. And yes this is apart of the MCU. There are references to Avengers Assemble and even the Incredible Hulk. It was fun watching and seeing these references and knowing that whilst all this is going on that the Avengers are out there stomping on Hydra and the Gaurdians of the Galaxy are out in space doing something that's a bit of both good and bad. It also doesn't beat this over your head but some references did feel a bit clunky and unnecessarily ambiguous. The action is well directed and violent, and I mean violent, arms get broken and heads get smashed, there's blood and all sorts getting sprayed around and it's awesome, especially when it's a fight scene with Daredevil (which oddly enough are majority of them) he's a bad-ass, and you get to see (well hear) the world as he does when he's in these fights. Hearing heartbeats or when weapons get drawn/picked up, even guns getting cocked. It's cool and makes it feel unique to the character rather that just a copy of fights in other franchises such as Batman. But whilst he is a bad-ass he does take a beaten which makes him feel human and you are in fear for his life especially against some advisories who can match up to him. It makes fights interesting and tense which is rare in the superhero genre these days. Outside of fights the cinematography is really nice, especially when they film a scene all in one shot (which usually happens before a fight) it's cool and can be appreciated by people who do appreciate that type of thing like myself. All in all whilst it does have some flaws Daredevil is a fantastic start to Marvels new line of shows, I'm genuinely excited for Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron fists TV debuts. And of course to see the Devil of Hell's Kitchen again. A must watch for both fans of the Marvel comics or of the MCU as well as average TV watchers. 9/10",9 "Warning - may contain spoilers. No, wait - that was the MOVIE - one GIANT spoiler. This movie has a tired and terrible plot, kills an amazing number of people, and is just generally a pile of junk. It has the same IMDb rating as ""A Beautiful Mind"" and ""Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid"". It should be rated somewhere slightly above that other cult classic, ""Snakes on a Plane"" or maybe ""ConAir"". Do NOT waste your time, unless you're home, it's on Netflix or Amazon Prime, and you're drunk. Or in WA or CO - stoned. Then, by all means, waste 90 minutes of your life watching countless bad guys get shot in the head.",2 "If you love movies featured by the Cannes Film Festival more than Hollywood, this is the TV show you cannot miss. This TV series consists of two different stories in different time periods. (1) A mafia boss' biography from his early days to his acme (in 1980s and 90s, particularly); and (2) Currently happening (possible) terrorism tackled by a good cop. Those two stories are woven into one and go back and forward. Honestly, mafia's rivalry in general (i.e. the first biography part) is not my favorite genre at all because it always contains grotesque crime scenes with fewer dialogues. However, I was truly fascinated by the biography part, thanks to two factors: (A) The mafia boss is a fictional character, but his life goes along with actual social and political history in India; and (B) Religiously deep and subtle dialogues were made by the mafia although he was cagey. India was emerging economically so as the guy was climbing the mafia career ladder. The third India-Pakistan war ended in 1971 (i.e. more than a decade before his life story), but the TV show describes the Hindu-Muslim conflict remained socially. Religions should be for better life but also bring death, and life and death are always resonating - that's the lesson this show profoundly infused into me even though I am an atheist. In this context, mafia's violence and his reckless personalities play essential roles. On the other hand, the second part (i.e. possible terrorism vs. a good cop) is not on par with the first one. It is not so thrilling as if base on a template of B-level action movies. That's the reason I cannot rate this show with 10. Netflix has already renewed the show for the second season, but I wish it had added two more episodes to the first season and completed as a limited series. Most of the mafia's biography was told in the first season. Only the cheesy cop story is left.",9 "I've never been a fan of Marvel's work or plots until I watched Daredevil Season 1. The plot, actors (except Helden Henson, who plays Nelson) and specially the dark mood provided by the photography and direction crews were just amazing, to which I would rate the series a hard 9. But, Marvel's curse seems to hit fast and hard - Season 2. Season 2 is nothing but a bad work of fiction, usual to Marvel by now, where they've put another terrible actor to match the competence (or lack of it) of Helden Henson. Yes, I'm talking about Jon Bernthal who plays The Punisher. It's not the actor nor how he performs that leaves me disappointed but the direction crew. I mean, after all that hype about season 2 what you get it's nothing but terrible fighting choreography (they are extremely bad executed, you can perfectly see that there's no contact whatsoever and it's unrealistic as hell since you can see that the bad guys often wait for their turn to hit the Devil of Hell's Kitchen). To match this feature, there's the light topic: terrible lighting and worst special effects. Right now, season 2 it's becoming Flash and Arrow, which had potential and let everything fall to the ground with bad directing. Basically, it doesn't matter how good the plot is, because it can't compensate the inability to direct a series with a lot of potential.",7 "Saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood tonight. I'd been really waiting for this movie to hit the theaters. It was okay. Disjointed for the first 30 minutes or so. Even more so than a typical Tarantino movie. Didn't seem to have much plot. The last third of the movie is really good. It sometimes takes me watching a Tarantino movie a couple times to really appreciate it but this movie is strangely meandering. 6/10 I guess. Disappointing. I really expected more.",6 "The scenerio is good obviously, graffics yes, but why i it so tiring to watch, so much going on in a second, too much color, too much speed, my eyes got tired while watching it biologically speaking, and i am a binge watcher mostly,, so if i say my eyes got f..ed up its really messed up. Soo this rate is what the movie deserve. And i dont get why people so obsessed with something if its popular. They dont even see it with their own perspektive, just repeat the majority's reaction thats stupid af. Dont be sheep have your OWN thoughts for once, is irritating too see someone talk the talk of same shtt.",2 The pros of the movie: Good action in the climax scene Cons Bad acting Bad supporting characters Bad script Bad jokes Clichés I don't know what the were doing in this movie.how did it get this much rating Batman vs superman & suicide squad are miles ahead than this movie and the got such shitty reviews.also how can America pretend to be the good guy in the war who don't kill civilians have the forgot about the nuclear bombs.also how cam such renowned actors and actresses give such a lousy acting performance except Chris pine every one was bad,2 "One of my most favorite films ever. Al Pacino on one side and Robert DeNiro on the other, both put on performance of a life time. Seeing the two playing different and yet the same roles. DeNiro steals the show and wins the Academy Awards for best supporting Actor. I couldn't believe that Al Pacino was once again, snubbed for his amazing performance. The original Godfather is a brilliant work. It is in a sense a voyeuristic delight, allowing us to see the mafia from the inside - we become part of the family. It single-handedly change the world's view of organized crime, and created a cast of sympathetic characters, none of whom have a shred of common morality. It was the highest grossing movie of its time and Brando created a cultural icon whose influence resonates as strong today as it did in 1972. As extraordinary an achievement as this is, Part II is even better. It easily receives my nod as the best picture ever made. I have seen it at least 20 times, and each time its 200 minutes fly by, and you realize how badly you miss great movies like this from today's Hunger games, Superman and other fast and furious type of films.",10 "Watched this movie on Friday - Absolutely Loved it!! And loved that there was NO nudity or raunchy women or item songs! Rarely you will find such a great film which is entertaining as well as intelligent.The performances of its caste are of first rate. Akshay surprised with his acting and does a commendable job after so many years. This type of cinema goes with his personality. Anupam Kher is excellent. Manoj Vajpai is meritorious; we all know what he is capable of. It's sure to get listed as one of the most gripping heist dramas based on real life occurrences. A film that's sure to win accolades, acclaim and awards...Hats off to Neeraj Pandey who delivered again after Wednesday..and yeah ""Asli Power Dil Me Hoti Hai"" :)",10 "10 minutes into the movie all the characters appear in masks representative of the Covid era. Completely took me out of any plot that may have been developing. Seems like it was completely unnecessary for the plot development. It seemed very odd to see Daniel Craig in an odd little plaid mask, or whatever pattern it was. From 007 to pansy boy. This review requires me to type many more characters than this, so I guess I'll ramble on for a moment. If you're looking for a decent bourbon recommendation I would say try the Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond or the Five Trail Bourbon. The Basil Hayden 10 year is great too.",2 "Absolutely horrible and VERY boring. I'm literally in a bad mood now, knowing that I will never get back the 2 hours of my life I lost watching this movie.",2 "As a guy who happens to be gay, the stereotypical effeminate, non-threatening, apologetic, drama-obsessed, superficial gay man is not just overused, it seems to be their only formula assigned to EVERY gay character in this series. It doesn't help that the gay couple tries desperately to be seen as a flouncy straight couple. The best part of being a gay couple is that you're not a straight couple. The always-needy ""Cam"" character was especially offensive (a word I hate) since it was played by a hetero who obviously subscribes to a small, stereotypical group of gay guys who fit said stereotype and advised him to play the character this way. In fact it's the gay couple who doesn't grow emotionally over the shows arduous run. It's no secret that this ridiculous characterization is the only way to attract the swaths of ignorant, straight, unenlightened breeders thar will watch a prime time show with LGBT characters and not throw a tantrum at the very first lisp...and don't forget to add children to that plot line so that all the precious American ""mommies"" and ""daddies"" can relate. News flash: all of your unchecked breeding habits are killing this planet...not just that you're adding more humans to an Earth that is overpopulated just so you can use your parental status to demand attention and special treatment from those who aren't as selfish, but also things such as attention-seeking gender reveal parties designed for attention-needy, thirst trap parents that go wrong and burn down homes and destroy thousands of acres of forest. I guess for It's time (2010's into 2020...ya know..modern era) this show might be ground breaking (for the average American), but the formula is not. The comedy is clever, but the model is redundant and tiresome.",4 "While the first two episodes are slow, Marvel Studios was able to make me stay interested in this show since Episode 3 was released. I'm excited to see what Episode 4 has to offer! To those who thought this was going to be action-packed from the start; You people should pay more attention to when it was announced. Kevin literally announced that this is going to be a ""sitcom gone wrong"". And to those who watched this show just Because they crave for more MCU action; Be patient and wait for TFATWS.",8 "One of those movies where no amount of crazy action sequences and effects can make you care about what's happening. The concept of The Avengers is cool, but for someone who hasn't read any of the comics I was neither excited nor invested in the characters. Boring and lacking substance, it gives the normal blockbuster formula and not much else. And yes, I have watched it more than once, each time expecting to enjoy it more than the last, but alas I never do.",4 "Was there even a story, something the draw in the viewer? Nope.",2 "Lack of strong dialogues. Clue of the movie is trivial No goosebumps Since Tarentino is a proven genius, this movie must be 'The emperor's new clothes' Tarantino style :)",6 "Forrest Gump didn't do it for me. I'd like to say it's because it wasn't what I expected, but I didn't go in with any particular expectations, other than the endlessly over-quoted ""Life was like a box of chocolates"" and ""Run, Forrest, run!"" I didn't go in with any elements of the plot in my mind; I was completely blind and open-minded. The film I watched failed to hold my attention. Part of the reason why the top films of all time are so endearing are because the creative team behind them have successfully manipulated the viewer to care deeply about the characters, enough to invest a little bit of themselves into those characters. Forrest Gump didn't really have that. The movie, for the most part, is about a guy sitting on a park bench telling the story of his life. Which is fine in theory, but until the last 20 minutes or so, it doesn't feel like it's building to anything. It's just a guy telling his story and, although the ending of the film wraps it all up nicely, there's an awfully sizeable chunk of film to set through that doesn't give much of an impression of a purpose, which made it a major headache and tedious watch for me. This is the only ""classic"" movie I've seen that has left me questioning the deservedness of the status and high rating.",2 Makes a Chuck Norris movie look like Shakespeare tragedy. Everyone everywhere knows John Wick except for the son of a Russian mobster who is apparently oblivious to all things Wick! Don't mess with a man's beagle.,2 "An intelligent and very well crafted movie that moves along, seemingly effortlessly. The main characters struggle to understand themselves and those around them and we similarly are drawn into the webs that are woven and torn apart. A fine achievement from Steven Soderbergh who must wonder if he will ever match the quality again. He is helped enormously with monumental performances particularly from James Spader and Andie MacDowel, although as I don't think I have seen either perform quite this well, their performances are likely down to dedicated work from the director. Laura San Giacomo also does a wicked turn and the naughty sister and helps to keep the film interesting in the early scenes when MacDowell's character seems set to sink the whole enterprise, or is that her psychiatrist? Perceptive, touching, intimate and revealing, this involving film is captivating and engaging throughout.",9 "Easily the worst action film I have ever seen. Truly, utterly, comprehensively awful. We watched this film because my wife likes looking at Chris Hemsworth but how it scored as high as it has is a total mystery. I managed to watch the whole film but I never cared if the hero lived or died - or indeed any of the characters. The body count must be easily over 500 and really, the whole film is just a relentless series of scenes where people die violently and pointlessly. Don't ever bother watching it. it is pure and unadulterated rubbish. Truly awful. Pity. I don't fancy Hemsworth but I usually like his films. Not this one.",1 """Far and Away"" is a movie that joins astonishing visual splendor with a story so simple-minded it seems intended for adolescents; watching it, I kept being reminded of the ""Childhoods of Famous Americans"" books, in which plucky young people made their way in life.",8 "I watched the opening episode of this series in that faint hope that a series would come along that MAYBE had some really timeless qualities that the Twilight Zone had, namely, smart, innovative, fantasy, horror, science fiction. What I came across was an absolute waste of time. After watching the series opener ""National anthem"" I was horrified. Horrified that someone would conceive and execute such a vile, disgusting piece of television such as this. Instead of fantasy, charm, literacy, and magic, we get an absolutely disgusting piece of rubbish. Rod Serling is turning over in his grave after this garbage was likened to TZ by Netflix. Everyone involved in this should be embarrassed, but I doubt that's possible anymore in the world we live in. But I guess that was the point wasn't it? Please do yourself a favor and watch literally anything but this.",1 "Good and fun movie. The design of the environment was amazing. The directing was good, I hope Waititi focuses only on directing. Because he wasn't very good as Hitler in movie And the character was also very provocative. Acting was good in the movie, Especially from Scarlett and McKenzie. Worth watching.",7 "It was a boring weekend, since I exhausted all options of watching Hollywood movies last week. This was the only option I had. And after struggling with my conscious I convinced myself to go for this movie. AND IT WAS NOT A WRONG DECISION This movies is an example of making Bollywood realize how important script is. A perfectly executed masterpiece. And example that comedy can be without using words. All the characters have done their job. I personally like the Editor of Danka TV. Very Humorous.",9 Movie deserve 7 stars but 3 extra stars for Rajkumar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi they totally stole the show with amazing acting,10 "This is seriously one of my favorite movies of all time. It's raunchy without being over the top, hilarious, great cast, good storyline (for the genre), and satirical. Can't believe it's already 13 years old. I've seen it at least 25 times and it never gets old.",8 "This has to be one of the worst Sony-made Marvel movies yet! The story is lame, dialogue weak, & acting subpar for the talent showcased in this film. Watching to the end was excruciating. After credit scene was better than the entire movie!!",2 """Attack on Titan"" distinguishes itself with a unique blend of intense emotion and stark rationality, presenting a world where no character is safe from the narrative's merciless reach. It defies predictability, and even genre enthusiasts who anticipate its twists may find themselves engrossed by its bold storytelling. The art style, with its stark contrasts and visceral imagery, complements the narrative's dark themes, enhancing the overall experience. Characters are multidimensional, with a balance of strengths and weaknesses that render them complex and relatable. Their responses to the harrowing circumstances feel grounded in reality, further investing the audience in their journey. This series is likely to resonate with viewers who appreciate a story that doesn't shy away from the abyss of human nature, all while challenging philosophical norms.",9 "I should warn you that the material you're going to see is of commercial nature, especially the way those shiny computerized tricks make you wonder about the inherent nature of your being, your life( probably same as characters) and in this weird piece of crap, dreams which are the very thought-provoking world of unknown elements. I have read a lot on dreams and will tell this with certainty that their efforts to humanize the screenplay are all in vein however taking advantage of pseudo-isochromatic charts. Are we really expected to take shots like this seriously? I can no longer ignore my feeling that we are close to the end of rich cinematic era. As a matter of fact in many situations, being monotone is better than having bad intonation. The worst is when someone goes up and down too much on every word or idea, examples of which can easily be seen in Nolan's Inception which is no longer a commencement, I dare say. I remember a quote cited by a friend in IMDb which goes like: True art is not domineering, It woos you. 1 for bothering reminding me of the likelihood of words meaning not exactly what they are supposed to. Those who rate above 1 ain't seen anything yet.",1 "That's just about right, that should've been the title, honest. I didn't have huge expectations when I went to see this film and I was right. The entire film is captured in the trailer and there is not much left to see on the big screen. The plot: Captain Steve ""America"" Rogers played by Chris Evans returns for the second time to the save the world, and by world I mean America, from the faintly remembered HYDRA, the hi-tech Nazi Unit in Captain America 1. There are a lot of references to the first film, better watch it once to refresh your memory, if you can sit through that one again. The film entirely revolves around 3 characters, mainly Steve Rogers, Falcon and Black Widow and the occasional kick-ass appearance of The Winter Soldier. Kinda makes you wonder throughout the film where, at least one other Avengers member is. The film is littered with clichés, references and many highly obvious plot points that you could predict the story and leave the cinema 30 minutes into the film. The movie is action packed and certainly better than it's predecessor. The Winter Soldier scenes are intense and the sequences are very precisely coordinated. Cinematography, directing are plus points and the occasional humor is appreciated in an otherwise blatant Avengers: The Age of Ultron set up. One time watch, for Scarlett Johansson and The Winter Soldier. (Don't sit through the credits for the post credits scene, isn't worth the wait.)",8 "I had a lot of science-loving friends tell me this was a cool movie with lots of cool science in it. So there's one opinion. Rebuttal: This movie has a lot of theoretical science in it. We're not talking about lab-tested, data-driven, peer-reviewed, researched, non-sexy, ""Go NASA!"" science. We're talking maybe this could work based on quantum physics, postulate, postulate. Maybe I've read too much science fiction based on these concepts, but I was not impressed. Rather, increasingly mystified and annoyed. Really? Really?! And, what this movie severely lacks is any kind of sense-making story. I, like the protagonist's daughter, never got over the fact that this single Dad thought it would be more fun to play space cowboy than to try to help his kids contend with life on a dying planet. What an asshole. The movie clearly points out (in dialog by the protagonist) that it makes no sense for this guy to be the one to be called into space. His qualifications, as far as we know, include crashing a plane. But, he's the one who has to save the world. And he's game (a lot more fun than farming). How convenient. It all felt very heartless. It's great if you happen to be that one pivotal guy (pick me! pick me!) and sucks to be everybody else. Also, despite the fact that the movie has two smart women scientists in it, it barely passes the Bechdel test (does talking to a recording count?). One of the women is there to be our protagonist's love interest. And the love of her life dies. How convenient. I also admit to a personal pet peeve when stories venture too far out into space, when the ""science,"" enters into the territory of science fiction and we don't get any aliens. Seems like a failure of imagination to me. Meanwhile, we (humanity) just landed on an asteroid and we're on our way to explore Pluto at the farthest edges of our galaxy! IRL! This exploration based on and made possible by nuts and bolts, measure test, measure test, science blows anything that happened in Interstellar away. Strongly prefer ""Gravity"" for a good space movie. Maybe it didn't get all the science right, but it looked cool AND told a great story. I recently read Mary Robinette Kowal's novella ""The Lady Astronaut of Mars."" This awesome story — which also involves a choice between personal dreams and the excitement of space exploration and staying behind and supporting loved ones — would make a fantastic movie and it has a lot of heart.",2 Very good felt like it dragged a but at the end for me which brings the marks down. But overall a very good film with good and enjoyable characters and plot line. Good aspects of comedy in some moments with a good soundtrack to partner with the film. I enjoyed the scenes in barbie land the most but that's not to say the scenes in the real world weren't enjoyable. It wasn't what I expected it to be in a good way. It clearly didn't have a mainly child audience which made it a lot more enjoyable. I loved watching how barbie and Ken adapted to the real world compared to barbie land and how mainly reacted to things that she can't do in barbie land like drinking.,8 "This is an absolutely wonderful film. I have seen the original version on screen and have the director's cut on DVD and recommend this to anyone - not just Korean (or more general Asian) film afficionados. The storyline is told with a rather sharp wit, such that it hardly seems likely to morph itself into a true romantic comedy - but it does so, and very effectively. The leads in this film are very good - probably more so with their expressions and body language than with the dialogue itself. It bothers me to hear that Dreamworks is planning a remake of this film. No doubt they will strip it of its original charm - much of which comes from its cultural context. Korea has produced some truly hilarious comedies (e.g., ""My Wife is a Gangster"") - it is truly sad that 99% of Americans will not have the opportunity to see these gems in their original form. It is also a slap in the face of the fine Korean actors and actresses who made these wonderful stories come to life on the big screen. If you haven't yet seen this film, buy a DVD copy off of eBay and enjoy the original versions before Hollywood ruins them.",10 "This is an old cliche story about fallen fighter who is trying to rise up to his previous level. The main characters in this cliche story often lose something valuable to them. Of course, it has a lot of crying and a lot of ""tense moments"" in which you know who is gonna win. Jake Gyllenhaal did great job and Racher McAdams was amazing too. Forest Whitaker told us another story how he lost his eyes, he must be enoying tolding different stories in different movies.",6 "Bad acting and abysmal writing; I honestly can't believe this is the same film I've heard so many people rave about over the years. The actor playing Batman is genuinely horrible, and it's difficult to stifle laughter whenever he attempts to growl/whisper/croak out his dialogue. Ledger's turn as the Joker would have probably been forgotten if not for the boost given by said actor's untimely demise. The writing is typical Hollywood garbage, and the action is unimpressive at best, and boring at its worst. If you're one of those lucky film viewers who can essentially shut off their brain in order to endure this type of cinematic catastrophe, you may somehow enjoy it... but otherwise, avoid this festering crap-bomb at all costs.",2 "I do not understand why this movie is rated so high. The scripts of this movie seem to be written by some one who never did scientific research himself. It's totally his imagination and showing of his ignorance of science. ""Contact"" is much better.",7 "Watching this show is like ....?? Just dumb fun ...the adults are a complete bunch a meatballs .. the kids are always running towards danger ..(Danger Will Robinson).. and ""Dr. "" Smith ..well shes just a complete freaken train wreck .. However we cannot stop watching.. its just good clean dumb fun .. and the robot..best part of series ..",7 "A solid silly rom com that is genuinely entertaining throughout the movie. The casting is very good & a decent script ( script should be better ), however overall definitely an adult rom com ( more comedy than romance which is fine but I think more romance mixed with the comedy would have been better ). Really good songs in the movie including ""inside of you"". The supporting cast all do a fantastic job in regards to adding comedy. Would have been higher than a 7 for me if the romance story was better.",7 I usually really like Tarantino movies so maybe I was expecting too much. The idea of the movie itself was great but the movie fell well short.,2 "Though I've given this film a 2.5/5 star rating, it's a film that I actually intend to buy when it comes out, because I truly enjoyed myself during this movie (more so than some of the other recent Marvel movies even). As far as logic, acting, writing, directing, and overall craft, this movie is awful. In terms of enjoyment, this film is fantastically entertaining, though I really doubt I enjoyed it the way the filmmakers intended. If you're looking for a good superhero film, don't bother with this one. If you're looking for a lot of laughs and some truly baffling writing and scenarios, check out this movie- it's freaking hilarious.",5 "Based on all the praise and admiration i got for this series,I watched it,and after that I watched a documentary about it.....well....there was no difference! just the documentary was not as time consuming. as a power engineer,I didn't understand a single law of physics which was explained in the final episode.....so complicated....and it was explained in words not picture....so it was more of a picture book. generally this film was just a time consuming story telling,with no character which was boring.",1 "If you have seen any of Garland's works, you pretty immediately know what kind of journey you are in for. With ex-Machina being extremely well thought through as a three-act story and Annihilation being a wile goose chase, this series so far falls in between. Personally, from the first 2 episodes I attained just enough apéritif ahead of the main dish of this story. Creepy mood? Hackers? Meta? Mysterious machine? Even more mysterious Nick Offerman? Sign me up! My advice is let go of the prejudices of our real world and let the story guide you step by step",8 Firstly Bangladeshi defence teams in not so bad like present hear... Secondary everywhere they neglect Bangladesh... Why!!! I really hate this kind of laying....,1 "This is my first film review here. Actually I will not review much but just share my feelings and observations and the film very shortly. 1. The theme is poor; a very cliché subject to work on. 2 The script is very poor; many meaningless conversations. 3. Casting is poor; characters do not match at all. 4. Acting is extremely poor; You never get into the film as you cannot get rid of the feeling that they are only ""acting"". Especially Augustus and Hazel's mother (and up to a point her father) were very far away from being real. Also the mimics and the toning of the conversations were ridiculous. I think high rating of this film come from teenagers which may be the target of this film. I gave a 6 to this film but I am too much generous, I should say..",6 "The film adaptation of the manga began in 2013. With season 1 of 25 episodes, I began to get acquainted exactly in the New Year holidays of 2021. ""Attack on the Titans"" - after all, I am more inclined to this translation of the original title. So, here we have a fictional universe, similar to Europe in the middle of the XIX century. Humanity is under a long-term siege from huge carnivorous creatures, very militant. Three lines of high walls and constant training of the army to protect people from the formidable Titans. And from the first series, it would seem that nothing will help... until the selfless heroes take the stage! Anime looks very exciting. Here, in the first place, of course, military battles, the unpredictable results of which are disconcerting. Colorful scenes, which were not without bloody violence, brought this anime under the ban in China and a number of other countries. But personally, I was hooked no longer by the military atmosphere, but by the relationship of the heroes and their perseverance in the struggle for survival. The way the fate of one person is exalted over the interests of military strategists, does not leave anyone indifferent and leads to a real state of empathy! I think that this anime is worth watching at least in order to try to answer myself many questions about the morality of human actions. By the way, as a humanist viewer, I like the character Armin more than the main character Eren. Who is your favorite character in this anime?",8 "Let's be clear: this is not a hard-hitting premier drama. In tone and style, it actually feels more like something from the heyday of the 90s or early 00s before shows like Breaking Bad or The Wire set TV on a different trajectory of ""seriousness."" But because of the fact that dramas often seem like they're trying too hard to be the next great piece of art, rather than just entertainment, this show feels like a serious breath of fresh air. It's often silly, arch, and campy -- and a lot of fun. It might be easy to dismiss it as Twilight-adjacent, but the show is more intelligent and nuanced than that, while also giving room for the actors to have fun. My guess is that if you liked the serious elements of Buffy, and the lighter elements of Outlander, you'll love this show. For people expecting high drama or high fantasy, it may not satisfy, but otherwise this is probably the most addictive show I've come across in the past few years -- and it's miles better than the books.",10 "Swades is one of the finest Indian movie made which was very well directed, well scripted and a powerful performance given by Sharukh Khan A NRI comes back to India in search of his nanny and in the process re- discovers the grass root issues like untouchable , caste systems division , proper education etc which was existing in the same village where his nanny stays. What follows next is the measure taken up by him to improve the electricity in the village. Swades is directed, scripted and story told by Ashutosh Gowarikar (Lagaan). Ashutosh has chosen the story which is completely different from his previous venture. The direction is impressive handling actually many sequences with perfection. One of my favourite scene is the sequence in train where Sharukh Khan tries to hold his emotions after buying water from akid in kullar for 25 paise. He is marvelous and has given his career best performance. The story of NRI coming back to his roots and doing something worthwhile is equally absorbing with amazing cinematography capturing the beautiful locales of Indian villages. Dialogues are inspiring. Music by the legend is A.R.Rahman is soul- riveting. Each and every song has some message to tell with beautiful lyrics written by Javed Akhtar. Coming to the performance , I couldn't have imagined anyone but Sharukh Khan playing Mohan Barghav. As I mentioned , the actor has given his career best and very well deserved performance. The complete change in his character from NRI who taunts at the weak Indian systems to a person who starts caring for the village and goes one step to implant the 24 hour electric supply is superbly handled. I loved his sequence in the train where he couldn't control his outburst after observing the struggle and poverty of the villagers. Gayatri Joshi is fine but Kishori Balal as Sharukh's nanny is splendid. Swades , overall , is an amazing movie with a very well-intentioned message to do something for the country. Excellent – 4.5/5",10 "Season one did not quite resonate with me. It was entertaining and sometimes a bit slow, but I kept asking myself where the point of all this was. MAN was I blown away by season 2. It is without a doubt some of the best SciFi I have ever watched (and I've been watching it for about 50 years now). The way timelines are mixed forces you to stay focussed and pulls you in. If you liked Inception, you MUST watch season two. But if you do, do not skip season one, you'll need it. Tom Hiddleston is in his best Loki appearance until now. The humor, the a-hole and the ambition remain, but become more likeable than ever before. I started to dislike Marvel after the Blip, but this is a great turnaround. Keep it coming like this Marvel!",9 "Very lousy acting and poor plot that makes me remember the old school shoot' em up games full of weapons, bullets and muscle cars. The lack of connection between the different parts make of this movie a patchwork with its incongruous parts and elements. I cant even compare this movie with Taken because the two are in completely different levels starting by the acting and the plausibility of Neeson's character compared to Wick. I enjoyed Taken in opposition to this very disappointing movie. Empty of substance, this movie relies only on the main actor and a lot of random violence to give you something that in my opinion its not worth your precious time.",4 "4 out of 5 stars. The Fabelsman is a good coming of age drama film that follows Sammy a boy which is introduced to cinema. And falls in love with the art of filmmaking by making home videos of his train set to short films with his family trip. The story is great. It hits the emotions with the family having issues and drama. While Sammy is growing up and dealing with discovering himself. It is a semi biography of Steven Spielberg. The acting and cast is great. The direction is great. It does rush in the third act through Sammy high school years. Overall still a great film that delivers a well made coming of age drama.",8 "There's been a lot of big buzz surrounding this movie that it's hard not too be a little disappointed. Let's just say this Ben Affleck is a great director and he always makes solid, interesting films but he has yet to make another film that excels that region into masterpiece territory. Argo although ambitious in it's storytelling and premise is sadly not that film. The film based on a true story focuses on a CIA agent that concocts a plan to free 6 American Hostages from Iran by posing them as members of a film crew. The scenes in Iran are suspenseful and the ones in Hollywood are pretty funny. Performance wise in my opinion Alan Arkin seems to steal the show as a big time Hollywood mogul and Bryan Cranston fleshes out his supporting role nicely. As for the others although it's nice to see Clea Duvall, Rory Cochrane and John Goodman amongst others on screen they aren't really given a lot to do. The Hostages in general are a bit underdeveloped and the film could have even been more suspenseful had a been a bit more engaged by him. As for Ben Affleck doing double duty he's a great director but still not the best actor. Although his skills have improved he would do better to let someone else take the leads in his films with a little more presence. All in all it's a solid film with very interesting subject matter told well if a little bit expected. And another notch in the actor/directors belt after two solid films he adds a third, at this point I'd definitely see anything he directs.",7 Episodes 4 & 8 are awesome! You can skip the rest.,5 "The Coen brothers' highly acclaimed film delivers on all levels. Its written superbly, features Buscemi, Stormare and William H. Macy all giving three very good performances, perfect use of these character actors. The whole atmosphere and feel of the movie is great. I think the Coen brothers did a great job of combining comedic and dramatic elements to make this story fun, entertaining and work best for the big screen. I highly recommend this any fan of cinema, as it does add an original spin to the idea of a crime/drama. Well done by the Coen brothers, though its not my favorite film by them, definitely a great film.---IMDb Rating: 8.2. MY Rating: 9/10",8 "I saw nothing special or extraordinary or novel in this movie. Every aspect of the movie was average good. I fear the average rating here is high because of some unconscious Spielberg bias. Nevertheless, definitely worth watching.",5 Nice movie but one thing is missing in the film is horror,8 "I really don't know what is so special about this boring movie I cannot see anything interesting, I'am Literally forcing myself to finish it. I mean 3 hours is TOO MUCH. This is my opinion, The whole movie is about the same idea which is killing the betrays without knowing or fully understanding the reason of these murders.",3 Did Tarantino really direct this or just collect money on it?,2 "I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show. I want it to never end. It is so witty, silly and pure fun. I laugh so hard I snort just about every episode. Amazing cast, amazing writing, amazing acting. It is just pure guiltless fun. Even for the family. Do not be discouraged by the TV- MA rating. It's pretty much for the murder that you really don't see. It's honestly a fresh, fun show that pulls you in for more. Who did it, follow the clues. Try to guess. Either way it's so much fun to watch every week. LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this show. Pluses watch and recommend to all of your friends. They will not be disappointed.",10 "Set in the mid-late '80s, CHERNOBYL follows the true story of the infamous nuclear disaster that happened in Chernobyl, USSR, and the aftermath of it, how the Soviet government dealt with possibly mankind's worst man made disaster, and the many lives that were affected by it. CHERNOBYL, as best I can put it, feels like a cinematic event. Similar to Christopher Nolan's DUNKIRK, we DO have characters who we follow from start to finish, but they play out more like pawns, that are part of a big story, which is a significant historical event in time, being captured on screen. Right from the show's opening, CHERNOBYL wastes no time setting up characters, or its setting, and instantly jumps to the action within minutes showing the explosion, and while the first episode spends its runtime on the disaster itself, the four episodes that follow it are about the repercussions of it, because what more important than the bang itself, is the reaction to it. And if you thought the nuclear plant exploding was going to be the peak of the show, you are proven wrong, because after that, we witness some breathtaking, intense heart pounding scenes, from Chernobyl's evacuation, to three brave men going underground to drain the water before it gets contaminated, and the one that steals the spotlight, the graphite cleaning scene from episode 4, which is presented in one take. The desperation and fright of Chernobyl is well conveyed on the faces of the actors playing the protagonists, from Jared Harris as Velary Legaslov, Stellan Skarsgård as Boris Shcherbina, Emily Watson as Ulana Khomyuk, and everyone else. Not one actor in the show ever feels miscast (though it's a little weird how they're SPEAKING IN ENGLISH AS OPPOSED TO RUSSIAN), and besides the phenomenal technical aspects of the show, if the acting also receives attention during the television awards season, I would be SO happy.",9 "Realistic in so many ways, it doesn't stop from giving the audience what they actually need. What I like most about this series is that it represents real world issues such as what's actually going on between corporations and its representatives and people supporting liars and murderers or things that covered up just to not cause any conflict on media. I'm on season 2 so far, and it's going really great, and from what I've seen, season 3 is also a banger, can't wait to watch!",9 "Trails of the sands. Secrets of the women. In ancient Somalia a cat climbs a ladder with thousands of tiny steps that leads up a tree and then into a soul field. Just the other day i saw a watermelon in the middle of the road waiting to be seen. Took a good glance, said hi.",7 "I watched it all last weekend, yawning, strangely enough, or often waiting to hurry up and finish the damn thing. Stephen King highly recommended it, but it rips him and others off so thoroughly, that although it usually isn't downright boring, it certainly never thrills or sends a tingle down your spine with anything approaching cinematic ingenuity. Even the cinematography is dull. King also praised Wynona Ryder. What?? She spends the entire series squealing unsympathetically like a twiggy near-hag twit. The black kid, whose last name is McLaughlin (please give it back, kid), should never act again, and I found Matthew Modine's hair more disturbing than anything else in this silliness. Fun? If you don't like thrills, laughs, scares or surprises from your sci-fi horror, I guess. C-",5 "Punishesr promo in Daredevil was amazing! Season 1 of Punisher was really good...I loved it. But Season 2 isnt really that great: Billy and Pilgrim were good nemesis for Frank, and I liked the dynamic between them all. Seeing how Jigsaw started and was formed was cool too. But the character Amy was SO ANNOYING! I couldnt stand her... Already 5 eps in and not really sold on this season.",8 "This is my first time watching a series from the western world. I'm more involved in the tech community and like a bit of philosophy as well. This mini-series is just a perfect blend of tech+philosophy, if you're of my type, you would just submerge so well into the whole series and would end up watching all the episodes on just a single night as I did. I did like the concept so much but just felt that it could've been bettered up if the screenplay would've made a bit fast as it felt way too slow than expected. The whole concept of the future world was just phenomenal and mind-blowing with so much of tidbits of technical things which is not for the general audience. It was totally an enjoyable watch.",8 "Story was all over the place and hard to follow at times. Very confusing to follow. I love Ryan Reynolds but he wasn't enough to save this film. If you just want lots of action, blood, guts and gore, then this is the movie for you.",3 "1st watched 11/21/1999 - 4 out of 10(Dir-The Wachowski brothers): Gimmic movie that bores you because of it's overbearing unlikeliness to real life.Yeah, I know that's what it's supposed to be, but if all you're going to do is put a non-feeling action movie in a different setting I'm not interested.This is what is done here.",4 "The last truly bad WWII film I ever saw was The Thin Red Line. Dunkirk seems to want to compete for that spot, but still comes in slightly ahead. I like Nolan, I really do. Interstellar was one of my favorite movies, Inception was great and I loved his recreation of Batman. I also love WWII movies, Band of Brothers being one of the best stories ever to grace the screen, in my opinion. The entire time watching this movie, though, there was one nagging question I had: What if Spielberg directed this? Chris Nolan really isn't suited to take on a film like this. Dunkirk is a historical drama, about one of the greatest feats in WWII. This has two strikes against Nolan; one is that it's a historical drama, unlike the rest of his portfolio. The second is that WWII is, by its very nature an ""R"" rated period (so to speak) and Nolan seems to thrive in semi-tame PG-13 violence. ""War is Hell""... yet nowhere in this movie do we ever sense that. There's a huge difference between gratuitous violence and realism, mind you and I am not promoting the former. Steven Spielberg is the master of understanding this. Some of his movies are rather violent, yet they use that to drive home the plot and atmosphere of the film. Chris Nolan really, really, desperately needs to take some notes from Spielberg in this area if he wants to be a true master of his art. The desire to stick to this catch-all, watered down PG-13 cash- cow rating, almost seems forced, considering the time period and the topic covered. Realistic ""R"" rating aside, the tedium of the movie sets in rather quickly. Had I not paid money to see it, and waited for its TV release, I would have changed the channel about 15 minutes in. This story sets itself up for about half of the film. It takes that long just to understand the characters, their motivations, their situations… even their names. Once that's done, the movie starts to show us some promise and hopes to drops us into action, but ends up easing us down gently. Critics may commend Nolan for keeping an even momentum, not letting one part overpower the next - unfortunately it carries the momentum of a brick wall. The history of Dunkirk is a fine example of human will and strength, it just doesn't make for a gripping story. The events that this movie cover, can be summed up in about 2 pages of a text book, not an entire novel… nevermind a 2 hour movie! A book editor once told me that you should always focus on telling the most interesting moment of a character's life. While the evacuation is interesting, in this movie, it seems the most interesting moments took place just before the events it covers. How did 400,000 soldiers end up getting pushed back to the sea? What battles were fought that drove them so far? What tactics failed so catastrophically? Dunkirk tells half a story, with the more interesting half taking place before the movie starts. The two hours of this movie could have easily been compressed into 1 hour, with another 2 hours telling the larger story of how the events transpired that led to this point. Acting wise… it's hard to tell. Mark Rylance almost revisits his role as the Russian spy, Rudolf Able in (a much better film) Bridge of Spies. It works. His calm demeanor, yet screen presence is felt and you do make some connection with his character. Of course, that may also be because his character has one of the larger speaking roles throughout the entire film. The rest of the actors are wasted, especially Kenneth Branagh, who has proved himself, time and time again, to be an ""actor's actor"", but has been almost sidelined for the duration of this movie. I would recommend waiting for this film to reach a cable channel before you fork out the $12+ for a ticket… if I would recommend this movie at all. As it stands, do yourself a favor and binge watch Band of Brothers in order to get a much more rewarding WWII experience.",3 "A unique problem arises when a movie tries to separate itself from your average, run-of-the-mill film: When too many other movies make the same attempt, it becomes anything but unique. Such seems to be the problem for ""Eternal Sunshine"". The storyline seems almost formulaicly fractured, in a way that what should be a confusing and misleading transition become as easy to detect as a simple scene change. Plot twists seem to be forced in at exactly the moments you would expect them, effectively draining them of all weight. This aside, the story is often very compelling. It is all too easy to relate to the frustration of the main characters, even though the circumstances are pure science fiction. All said, this is a very enjoyable movie that suffers a little from structural elements and poor plot twists.",6 "I just finished season 2 and it was quite disappointing. At least season 1 picks up halfway through, season 2 just seems to be going nowhere. Quite boring but I kept watching hoping it would get better. Nadia seemed very annoying this time, you don't want to root for her at all. Was barely interested in Alan's story. Giving it 6 stars because of season 1.",6 "Where to begin. The effects & CGI are mostly good but the movie as a whole is poorly executed. Unnecessary shaky-cam, poor acting and cheesy forced one-liners. The story as a whole is very confusing and lazy written. The flashbacks appear at random and half of the information could be left out. The villains is boring and none of the characters have soul. A classic Michael Bay cash-grab.",2 "Glass Onion (2022) is the sequel to Knives Out (2019) and has another original mystery with great actors and a good detective for the job like the first movie. I am glad this movie has another original mystery to solve, and I like how it can still feel like an Agatha Christie mystery novel but with new things added to make it different. The movie is filled with a lot of talented actors like Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc, who is great in the movie. The acting is top notch, and the characters are fleshed out so you can be interested in them but also ask questions about them throughout. I will not spoil anything, so I am going to keep it vague. It can be unexpected and can have twists to keep you off guard, I thought it was going to go one direction but then it went in a different direction I was not expecting. There are some comedy moments in the movie that are funny because of the characters' personalities. I think if you liked the first movie Knives Out (2019) then you will like Glass Onion (2022) just as much as the first movie or you might like it more than the first.",7 "Well how do we start? This film contains great values, such as the photography and... the photography... nothing else. This film moves by slow hard taking and non exciting steps. All that happens is you see the main protagonists suffer and wander around for nearly 3 hours!!!! I know fans are expecting a dignifying adaptation to the best selling book, however translating the book to script phrase by phrase was too much. The film falls for other several stuff, starting with the performances, they really don't improve at all and all we get is the same wooden, stiff expressions we've seen since 2001. Then we get the script treatment, it's just a translation from the book! The story is not meant to be two separate films but a 6-hour-long feature (even Peter Jackson handled himself to give each part of LOTR trilogy its own climax). However this joke of a film doesn't care for the development of the argument or anything else. Without part 2 it's nothing but a boring sequence of scenes with no goal at all. I really expected a much more fun film, however this one kicks the bucket. By some hard, well planned edition job they could have saved ourselves more than an hour of boringness (and even one film maybe). All in all, this film is proof that a darker sequel or a faithfully written book adaptation not necessarily give as a result a good movie.",2 "If there was any more CGI, they might as well have made a cartoon. The dialog and delivery was just cheesy. Given the massive variety of powers, strengths and vulnerabilities of the characters, there should have been plenty of the more human based ones that were crushed or crippled if they were subjected to the brutal fights. I get that it's a comic book film, and disbelief needs suspending, but this was just utter cr@p",3 "I am so disappointed and shocked at how bad this show is. I watched the first episode last night and constant was asking, ""Really?"". So many things just did not add up and there are so many lines of dialog that make no sense. I am going to see if it gets any better but I am 1/2 through the 2nd episode and maybe it is slight better but not great at all :( Why would Netflix spend this much money on a visually solid show with awful acting/script?",2 """Chernobyl"" is a show that impresses and disappoints in equal measure. Its portrayal of the catastrophic nuclear accident is brought to life with an impressive atmosphere, splendid visuals, and a remarkable cast. The sense of tragedy is palpable and masterfully depicted, immersing viewers in the harrowing reality of the disaster. However, the series falters in its presentation of ideas and character dynamics. Initially, it compellingly explores the dangers of concealing critical problems, a theme with universal relevance. But as the story progresses, it settles into a Manichean narrative centered around two scientists portrayed as sole bearers of truth and righteousness. This oversimplified portrayal undermines the complex nature of scientific inquiry and decision-making, often leading to dialogue that feels clichéd and one-dimensional. Furthermore, the graphic depiction of radiation sickness, while intending to underscore the severity of the event, comes across as unnecessarily grotesque. These scenes, rather than adding to the narrative, detract from the show's ability to convey the depth of the tragedy in a nuanced manner. In conclusion, while ""Chernobyl"" demonstrates great potential and boasts excellent production values, its black-and-white approach to storytelling and character development ultimately hinders the impact of its message. The show, in its attempt to highlight the gravity of the Chernobyl disaster, misses the opportunity to delve into the more intricate and less binary aspects of such a complex event.",6 "Alex garland strikes again. after ex machina which was awesome, and annihilation which i absolutely love, he comes through with another great sci-fi story. intriguing throughout. visually stunning, as has become par for the course with his work. the soundtrack was very strange in a good way. and the sci-fi elements fully satisfy the craving. it was a little slow at times but i was never bored (1 viewing, 6/28/2020).",7 "I loved first Venom. It was just AWESOME. Venom 2 is like Terminator 5 in terminator franchise. Just for terminator it took Terminator 3, Terminator 4 and only with T5 they fully murdered franchise. Here second Venom was more than sufficient.",3 "I am a religious Batman fan(sadly, haven't gotten ahold of the comic books yet), but this? This movie, is a pure annoyance. Ra's Al Gul? Could have been played so much better by his right hand man, Liam Neeson. Al Gul is not of any other nationality. If anything, he's British. And I love Cillian Murphy to death, but Doctor Crane is a gangly, red headed maniac. Not a drop dead gorgeous man. Comish G, perfect performance by Gary Oldman. I like how they used not so popular villains in this movie, but thats about it. Storyline is utterly insane. The police force/authorities of Gotham in a ""league of shadows""(another non-popular villain group of 'Vertigo'...bad mix of villains in my view.) to ""fix"" Gotham? No way. Never. If they rushed this movie to get it out to the ""Crying"" public, they should have waited and saved up money to get people that actually FIT the freaking character. Like Liam Neeson was PERFECT for Ra's Al Gul. PERFECT! When he first appeared in the movie and he said Ra's Al Gul, I was thinking that he was saying he worked for him, but really was him. I mean, come on! The goatee/mustache IS Ra's Al Gul! DID NO ONE ELSE SEE THAT?!?! (but then again you'd have to have seen every 1990's Batman Animation Series episodes over 3 times each ^_^) ...and weirdly, Christian Bale looked a bit...chubby in the Suit. (Honest, no joke. Sorry Bale.) The bottom line is, no one will ever get it right. Jack Nicholson, ruined Joker. I fell in love with the cartoon character and then wanted to burn the VHS of the first Batman because of it! Michael Keaton? Don't get me started. The film industry just DO NOT understand Batman, and never will. They never keep the story straight, or it all in the same book! But they never will make the movies the way they should be, because in their world, it's all about money, and not justice to the story. And yes, it seems they are making a new one. I checked out the man they're talking to for The Joker. And all I can tell is, they want him for his nose. Bad idea, boys. But I will see it when it comes out, only for 2 reasons. The Joker and Harley Quinn. (IF they feature her. My favorite role model in life ^_^)",2 "The first 3 episodes were quite a ride. Similar to The Boys, but with teens. So practically the stories were about the students struggling with academic achievements and social status of being super heroes. Gen V was a parallel story with The Boys time line, so expect cameos from The Boys. The weakest point of the story, IMHO, is the main hero was not very relatable and lacking likability as the main character. With such a tragic and powerful backstory, she should be able to become the center of the story. However, all the supporting roles were far superior in quality of character development and they carry their stories better. I do hope along the way, the story quality got better.",7 "If you're the type of person who needs all the details to be plausible, this isn't the movie for you. It fails quite remarkably in that respect. The acting is unconvincing from all the main performers and eye-rollingly poor from Matt Damon. The script is maddening at how dumb it often is. Everything is explained to you like you're an idiot, and even to the NASA officials like they're all interns, rather than rocket scientists who know their stuff. There's a shameless amount of movie-computer sound affects. There are several characters in this movie that are pointless, like Kristen Wiig, who is always trying to keep a straight face through her unnecessary lines. It is almost devoid of tension because problems are solved within seconds of being encountered, often to a blaring disco soundtrack. About 40 minutes in I began to lose interest and wanted to check the reviews of this movie to see if I was the only one disappointed. In the end, you feel like you spend more time watching this movie than Matt Damon spends marooned on Mars. Some compare this to Castaway, Gravity and Apollo 13. But it seems more like the baby of Community, Big Bang Theory and Guardians of the Galaxy.",5 "It's a sad commentary on people that you can rest assured if there is a show that last for a very long time it is most likely bland and not to deep. It happens all to often where a smart and unique tv show is cancelled after a couple seasons. Every other show it seems now a days is either a medical drama or a police drama, Hannibal, while they are dealing with solving crimes isn't close to your run off the mill cop show. It is as visually stunning as it is deep and dark. The imagination behind the different crimes is jaw dropping. I am not sure many people could ever come up with the array of methods of killing in this show. Although he has played characters who weren't the villain Mads Mikkelson just seems made for the role of the ""bad guy"". He really made Hannibal his own. It would have been very easy for the creators to go with an actor and character more closely resembling Anthony Hopkins famous portrayal of Hannibal in the movie, but they and Mikkelson made it his own and unique. Just another wonderful show brought down in it's prime while shows like Grey's Anatomy keep trucking along with the same stuff, heading into season when the show hasn't been good since season (Although I will admit the first 4 or so seasons of Grey's Anatomy were historically good and some of the best tv ever).",9 "Geez, Nolan, get an editor!! Overlong, preposterous- throw in some Ewoks, and you hit the Star Wars trifecta of suck. Bizarro Batman (aka Bane) was an utter disaster as a villain, but fortunately for Tom Hardy he was in such a ridiculous costume, he'll probably be able to convince people that he wasn't even in this piece of crap. Nice touch bringing Liam Neeson back as the ghost of psychotic Obi-wan; he played a delusion, but was still the most believable character in the movie. Marion Cotillard (or whatever her name is) remains Nolan's muse of special effects laden crapfests, and Anne Hathaway- well, she wasn't terrible, but God, she wasn't very good. Almost makes you miss Joel Shumacher and dumb gay Batman.",5 "Nerdy high-schoolers attempt to get in with the hip crowd by promising to supply booze for a party. The cops played by Hader and Rogen are funny, particularly in their first appearance as they investigate a robbery. Other comic highlights include the whole business with the fake ID and the somewhat disturbing segment about young Hill's obsession with the male organ. While it has many amusing moments, it goes on much too long for a comedy. The filmmakers attempt to make the scenes of male bonding touching, but they are rather contrived and lame. It's also hard to buy that a young woman like Stone will have anything to do with someone like Hill.",7 "Confusing storyline, too much dialog, and the god of mischief is portrayed as little more than an ordinary human.",4 "Great direction, great actors totally nailed it Only the wait is too long to watch the next season",8 "Why this film won the Oscar? Film is OK but Oscar??? Noo!!! 10 point?? Noo!!! If you understood why this film won the Oscar, tell me why... :))",5 Great story and wonderful acting by the kids. A must watch show more than that you can even watch with family. Looking forward for promising 3rd season.,9 "If Barbie could've done anything with this movie, this is the best it could've done. Pulled off with comedy, heart, and emotion, Barbie delivers. Cast is great. No questions asked. I loved some of the smaller cameos in this film, definitely made the movie more appealing. Humor is back and forth in this movie, and all the jokes will keep you chuckling. I had some people laughing louder than the movie itself to some of these jokes. Props to you, Gerwig. Emotion is heavily involved in the third act of the film, and definitely changes tone. The ending takes sort of a twist, but is a good way to end the film. Overall, the film is great. Highly recommend seeing. Some of the jokes are more adult, so maybe think twice before taking your kid to see this. If you don't have kids, go see this. It'll be worth your money.",8 "Sadly, a very disappointing film that I was eagerly looking forward to seeing, particularly as my father went across on one of the ""little ships"". There is very little character development allowed by the truncated script. It doesn't really matter because most of the dialogue is incomprehensible anyway thanks mainly to the incessant, overblown Hans Zimmer score. And I usually enjoy his work. Too many glaring goofs to mention. Sadly, all around very disappointing.",1 "Great action movie especially a quality Netflix original for change that is! The movie is all set in Dhaka, Bangladesh with a kidnapped Indian kid from Mumbai India being rescued by Chris Hemsworth's character. Would just like to correct that Mumbai has no known Drug Mafias living in the city and driving in Benz Bmw etc. It's a business city and There are loads of not only Industrialists but plethora of upper middle class folks as well driving in those cars and and their kids going to awesome schools. Hollywood needs to do some homework on that and not be eternally stuck in the Slumdog Millionaire time warp which in any case was lopsided and a big flop in INDIA. Am a Chris fan and love this one for his amazing role nevertheless. Cheers!",7 "I heard an awful lot of people dogging this show at its inception. I wonder if they gave up or kept watching? Because if they kept watching I don't see how they could still be hating. The past two weeks in particular have seen me literally standing up, pointing at the TV, and yelling things at it. Sometimes all I can manage is gibberish in my excitement; things like ""What did the? Did he just? Who's gonna?"" There have been so many jaw-dropping moments here of late that I literally do not know who or what to believe. I failed to see Captain American: The Winter Soldier before ""Turn, Turn, Turn"", but am not upset by the fact that the show revealed the huge plot points rather than the movie. Yes, I will be seeing The Winter Soldier ASAP, but my heart has been so firmly gripped by the show that it felt more right to get the crazy news from there. I am sure the writers did a great job of making sure neither vehicle gave away too much. This show has really come into its own since things began to come together after ""The Bridge."" I love these characters, including the ones I don't know whether to trust anymore, and have been blown away by the world being revealed. If you hate it, re-watch it. If you still hate it, I'm sorry. But oh my goodness I am a complete SHIELD junkie!",10 Season1 is very nice but season 2is bad ithink this is nice,9 Got to see a fun film after a lomg time....pankaj tripathy steals the show....nd rajkumar rao too good....watch it for these two guys.....rest everyone has been good....,8 Movies can be made without making fun of Hindu Deities. Trying to degrade god's unconsciously in the minds of customers is a wrong thing to do.,1 "Like watching a crap Indian movie, weak storyline ,invincible hero , and all the B.S. Only with foreign actors.",1 "The movie is just about what you can expect. I did not expect anything awesome, maybe I was expecting something even worse. I was watching in the plane just half attention and for that it was perfect I think The movie does find it's audience for sure. I would recomend it to rather younger girls, or those who are nostalgic about the Barbie cult. It is a little funny, if you want, you can think about the Barbie cult, but the movie is not phylosophical drama.. If you are just bored and need something in the backgroud, but the movie can not please every viewer. It is just entertainment not a serious piece of movie art.",6 "Without giving away any plot, let me just say that any type of cliche in a heroic movie you could think of appeared. Time would stand still while the cliche plays out. No rational sci-fi can ever explain 10% of the cliche plot and moments in it. It's just incredible. I really cannot see how anyone over 10 years old and watched more than 10 movies can stand the many many cringe-worthy moments. It had a great premise, even though it's far from original (many novels explored this concept already). However its execution was completely botched. Very sad.",3 "I thought this movie was so stupid and boring I only could watch 30 minuts and I quit a little after the absurd Jackie Chan fight. By the way, it was dificult to understand most of the uninspiring actors bacause of their thick chinese accent. All in all, they tried very hard to make a very original movie, but the outcome is a huge and depressing failure.",3 "Writers can't imagine anymore. Rather they place films into films. A-Team, Expendables, Mission Impossible all rolled into one film (In one scene they were even quoting movie lines). Usually storylines have a build up, this movie starts off in high octane action and the build up happens in the middle, becoming boring in places resulting in clock watching. Some of the action scenes you see in the trailers are flashbacks of persons previous life before they became a Ghost, and not part of the story. Also there were 7 who became 6, who were not underground, but above ground?? Also, the editing is poor. One scene shows a car being hit by a truck and the wing mirror of the car is snapped off, two minutes later it's miraculously back on, intact. That is just one of many bad edits throughout. There is no storyline. They decide to pursue one man ""to make the world a better place"" and it's all action to get to him. There is no understanding on why the car chase at the beginning of the movie is taken place, other than a foiled robbery?? The movie did have potential, but it is spoiled by the severe over the top profanity (the first 15 minutes there were more F bombs than a Gordon Ramsay full series), obscene sexual content (both in role playing and conversations) and stomach wrenching gore which if you don't have a good stomach, then avoid. Not something you'd want to watch with your Granny, or parents for that matter. The action encompasses the storyline. I really do not recommend this movie. Had the profanity been toned down by 95% and the unnecessary sex scenes deleted, then maybe, just maybe I'd give it a 5/6.",2 "I love this show I do but I hate the character CAM. the guy is controlling, selfish, over- acting, and manipulative. his relationship with mitchell is the most toxic relationship in the whole show and it is stressing me out seeing them. I actually don't want to watch the show anymore because of how Toxic Cam is which is a shame because i love everything else about it.",7 "Couldn't get past the 1st episode. I found it so inauthentic being in English, actors unable to even pronounce their russian name properly :/ That completely killed it for me",1 "People might get offended with this but I am allowed to give my opinion on this. This series part 2, if you give an unbiased opinion is absolutely mediocre in all respects. Be it acting, storyline or ending. Only saving grace was Jitender Kumar who somehow managed to keep the flag hoisted. Acting of Ahsaas Channa and several others were downright irritating. I would specially like to comment on the ending of the series. It felt like as if they have run out of ideas and wanted to give the series a closure. Disappointing.",3 "Those DC fans are always around to mess up the marvel movie scores! I mean, come on! This movie deserves a score around 9. Awesome plot, great acting, cool cast, awesome fighting scenes and stealth mode action, awesome car chase scenes, tons of fighting scenes and a pinch of humor-- A perfect marvel movie recipe. What more do you want DC fans!!!!!??!!?!! Yeah the only thing that was missing was Hawkeye...I wouldn't say that the movie really felt incomplete without him but, If Hawkeye were the movie would have deserved a 10. By the way, the movie is any day better than the first one. It is the best marvel movie for me though......",10 "It's gonna be hard for any Marvel movie this new Captain America movie, this film has great action, and good acting, and mixes a little of a on the run type thrillers like Three days of the Condor(1975). Steve Rodgers/Captain America(Chris Evans) is S.H.I.E.D.S top agent, while still trying to adjust to life in the new millennium. But then is double crossed by someone inside, and he and Black Widow(Scarlett Johansson) quickly go on the run, while trying to uncover of who is behind this, they are tailed by someone who is called The Winter Soldier, who's super human abilities are a match for Captain America. This marvel film is gonna be hard to top. Chris Evans is great, so was Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson we really get to see them grow has characters here. Anthony Mackie was awesome The Falcon, hope to see him in more marvel movies in the future. Robert Redford is good also, never thought i'd see him in a superhero film, but he was great. It had great action, and great fight scenes. This marvel film is gonna be hard to top.",10 "The series starts off great. There are around 5 excellently developed characters; there's a great premise; the plot develops logically and compellingly; the pacing of building tension then action is spot on. You've got a unique feel, and some moral dilemma action thought-provoking action. Everything has a balanced and cohesive feel - pretty much everything you'd expect when you see a series rated 8.9. *I have to warn a very slight plot spoil, but I won't give anything remotely specific.* Then about halfway through the series, to solve some stagnation they throw in a good dose of anticlimax. Now the majority of the interesting characters stop getting any screen time for various reasons and follow up by introducing and then disposing of characters you never have any reason to care about. The very ending was well done. (Pity it wouldn't make sense if you just skipped the 15 episodes preceding it!) Maybe the manga developed all of the lame characters in the second half and had I first read all of them I would have enjoyed it all, but still... I just can't justify how sloppy everything got. Compare with either of the Fullmetal Alchemist adaptations, or Code Geass if you can tolerate mecha action, and you'll see where I'm coming from. It either needed to be around 20-25 episodes and finish off strong without all of the later stuff, of have been extended to at least 50 so that they could have developed the last half into something workable.",6 "Avatar: is the most enjoyable childhood cartoon, for me personally. He is one of the many Western cartoons that I have watched, if regarded as an anime genre, then he can be considered a favorite. Personally, none of the characters irritated me, and this is a rarity for cartoons. On the contrary, the heroes were even inspired somewhere, each in his own way, but especially the earth magician Toph. Of course, the series is perceived as a fantasy, the continuation of which you really want to find out sooner, but at the same time it teaches you good. How not to give up and not leave friends and people you love alone. How to achieve success in a business that initially seems to be a failure. After watching, I shared this cartoon with all my friends and we discussed it during lessons, there were good times. So this series brought me closer to my friends and captured very pleasant and touching memories. If you want to spend time easily and abstractly, then I advise you to look, it's really worth it. 10 out of 10.",10 "Great effects for a poor plot. All characters are geniuses but they make stupid decisions everytime. That it is good if the show is ""The Big Bang Theory"", but in this case bring the watcher to say ""oh no!"" at every scene. It is very annoying and boring at the end.",4 "The Boys is a deeply, profoundly fresh take on the superhero genre... because the superheroes may be the real bad guys. That sounds simple enough, but the execution of the series gives us a story worth experiencing, because everything is turned upside down into the absurd. Alongside that other show that casts doubt on superheroism - The Umbrella Academy - The Boys operates in a unique space in today's cinematic world: taking a real big and seasons-long piss on all the super-nonsense out there. And as if it means nothing, it waves it's magic hands on societal issues just as easily, being painfully dismissive at all those stupid people swept away by today's politics. Yet even if I offended you just now, forget about me, this show is worth the watch. It's visceral, funny, endearing and right on the money. It's also, fair warning, extremely bloody. Yet the gore serves a purpose: making us laugh at loud. The blood is so absurd at times, it just becomes too funny. Man, did we need this show. And the actors and actresses know it: they play with utter glee, enjoying the fact they are messing with the audiences' heads. Heads that in the show, play quite the prominent and explosive role. In its vileness, it's the breath of fresh air we did not know we wanted. If you can stomach the gore, you're In for a treat.",9 "The boys is one of the most unique shows that never really goes off track there's almost no fillers every scene is a buildup and has meaning, the boys also includes scenes that took place in real life something like the Snyder cut release to the political drama the boys has it all. The boys isn't your typical superhero movie to where the heroes win, although it somewhat had resemblance to the Dc's injustice storyline the boys is unique in its own way. The boys are actually a group of completely normal humans with a goal of taking down the supes mainly the ""seven"" Or specifically homelander. The boys deals with a lot of plot drama it includes drama from vought which is the company that owns the seven and produces profit by marketing the characters and this drama might seem unnecessary but as said every scene does build up to importance. The story telling isn't easily predictable which gives it a fresh look. The vfx is great especially since they deal with a ton of blood, gore and weirdly unimaginable scenes. The boys kind of judges itself in a way how homelander reacts or scripts a dialogue. Overall the boys is very well thought out series and is incredibly executed in all of its seasons it is definitely is a must watch there's almost no flaws to talk about rather than how much disgusting few scenes can get. I loved the boys.",9 "Cringe worthy comes to mind when I think about this film. I'm glad I waited for the DVD to watch this because I could fast forward the scenes where a bullish MJ degrades others just for the heck of it and a spineless Peter follows her around like a lost puppy. Puh-lease! The CGI was rendered so obvious in parts it should come as normal (like vehicles where you can pick out the fakes) that you'd think you were watching a TV series. The actions are good though, if only this was purely an action film. This movie is just a notch better than that DC wreck Aquaman.",3 This movie was ruined for me by the hard to understand accents which then went on to make the acting club fisted and woody. I honestly dont know why people said this was a good movie - its plot holes and cheese was immense. I fell asleep and had to try to finish watching it three times... it really was that bad. If the Lion King could have easy to understand accents then why not movie. Do they no da wei?,3 Convoluted. Too much fighting. Confusion about characters and their ranking in the organization. I only watched because of the dogs. I have a Belgian Malinois who looks just like them. Needs more explanation of the characters. The first two were better but I'm not a huge fan of this series.,2 "A feel good movie about the beauty of India's rural areas and diversity of its people. The movie preaches equality and gentle progression as it says in the English title: we, the people. This message is portrait through a Nasa manager who goes back to visit his nanny and finds love and truth on his way. The experiences he collects during his stay are shown without false sentiments but with the lighthearted spirit one recognizes from Bollywood. Of course with chanting, dancing, a small tear and lots of humor. Enjoy the sympathetic characters and a lost three hour visit to rural India.",7 "Ritchie finally takes the hints and allows others in on his creations. This time he leaves the script alone, so we are free from his mockney ""Cor blimey geezer"" dialogue. Instead, there's more charm and wit here. Law and Downey Jr. make an excellent couple, and aren't afraid to show a true love between Holmes and Watson. They bicker over everything, but it's easy to see they were meant to be.It does have all the action you would expect from a modern Hollywood take on the character, but it doesn't feel too intrusive. Having Holmes plan out his fights in a logical way before making his moves fits an action version of the character. Strong is an excellent villain and an amazing actor. It's an enjoyable romp, even if it doesn't quite break the mold.",6 "Hard to stomach! Deftly written, acted, directed, but very sad.",6 "A story there was. Thrilling scenes there were. Some pretty cinematography yes. Solid character build-up, hell no. Logical plot, no. Entertainment, not much. Consistency of characters, missing. Petty resentful ignorance towards the rich, yes. Narrow and shallow depiction of the poor, very much. So not convincing. Every stretch of the movie i thought I started understanding the characters a bit more, but no, next stretch would make me scratch that understanding and try to rebuild again.. In the end, it made me fail to attach with any of the characters. Without enough entertainment, what were the film makers trying to tell the audience? I completely don't get it. Really doesn't match the hype. Wasted two hours of my life.",5 "Pitcher is one the best movies i have seen so far, lot of fun, learning and emotion. Hope TVF will bring Pitcher 2 with same hype.

Pitcher is one the best movies i have seen so far, lot of fun, learning and emotion. Hope TVF will bring Pitcher 2 with same hype.",10 "Some nice moments but not good enough. I rarely laughed and, believe me, they tried... The film has many difficulties in balancing the tone and it seems that not even its impressive cast could understand what they should do, with very different performances in terms of delivery and tone. I also didn't get the lack of energy in almost every scene. It never excites and I had a hard time maintaining the interest in the story, saved, at times, by some good scenes (like the ones they all know each other or the final scene) and because it's always pleasant to see all these actors on stage, even more so with a beautiful cinematography to help. Unfortunately, a disappointment.",5 "Yesterday I was utterly disappointed after watching the Wolf of the wall street. It is much more over hyped than I thought. May be the stock brooking thing or share market is not my forte but script wise it is nothing creative, very much predictable one. Even performance or appearance wise I like Jonah Hill over Leo on this movie, through on my view still it is not the best performance for both the actors. Jonah did much better in Moneyball & Leo did much better even in small role like Django Unchained. May be we used to see Leo's death in every movie. Thousands of F-Word, hundreds of nude girl or tons of drugs can't make a movie good.",5 "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is an exceptional addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The series follows the adventures of Sam Wilson (Falcon) and Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier) as they navigate a world without Captain America, facing new challenges and enemies along the way. The show masterfully blends action, drama, and humor, providing an entertaining and engaging viewing experience. The fight scenes are intense and well-choreographed, showcasing the impressive skills of the characters. Additionally, the emotional depth of the story is truly impressive, as the characters grapple with issues of identity, legacy, and responsibility. The performances of Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan as Sam and Bucky are outstanding, bringing nuance and complexity to their characters. The supporting cast is also fantastic, including Wyatt Russell as John Walker, the new Captain America, and Erin Kellyman as Karli Morgenthau, the leader of a radical group. Overall, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a must-watch for Marvel fans and newcomers alike. The show offers a thrilling and emotional journey that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.",7 "Rather sad that this adventure has ended,. It has at times tested the limits of astrophysics and cosmology but that is what makes thsi series so interesting and the last season with the time travel and multiverse theme shows that the script writers are abreast on the latest to spintheir plots. What will life be like without Colson, Melinda May, Daisy/Sky, Fritz, Jemma, Mac, Yoyo and Deke every week after entertaining us for the last 7 seasons... Well done guys, all the best and never say never... Who knows what Extinction level Earth disaster will need the rescue of the Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D to bring the team back together again...",9 A powerful performance from Bullock seems to be just about the only thing this film has going for it.,4 "Nevertheless, Red Sparrow remains a compelling and thought-provoking thriller that transcends the boundaries of traditional espionage films. It delves into the psychological and emotional toll that this dangerous profession takes on its agents, and questions the morality of using seduction as a tool for espionage. N conclusion, Red Sparrow is a must-watch for fans of espionage thrillers and those who appreciate complex character-driven narratives. While it may not be suitable for everyone due to its intense content, Jennifer Lawrence's powerful performance and the film's overall gripping storyline make it a memorable cinematic experience.",6 "I didnt expected ill rate this movie at all. I just watched it and i totaly changed my opinion about this movie, and Barbies as a dolls. I never had a doll of a Barbie or Ken, bc i as man, when i was kid i didnt liked dolls, but this movie is much more than that. Before watching i had low expectations, because its a Barbie movie and bc of other comments i read, they were mostly negative, and now after watching the movie all of that negativity and low expectations just dissapeared. People whine about the story, but for me the story is well made. They put all positive and negative stuff about Barbies in a funny way, positive way. Main actors Margot (Barbie) and Ryan (Ken) + Will Ferrell were excellent choice for their role in this movie. I liked actually the role which W. Ferrell got, bc nobody could do that role better than him. He showed dark stuff as a CEO on a hilarious way and he alone lifted the whole movie for a very large amount. Both Margot & Ryan did their job very well for their roles. And even narator is well used. Im happy that this isnt just Barbie & Ken movie and that isnt a movie with some empty story. Near end it actually started to remind me on Pinocchio. Movie is inspiring and it can help some people if they have similar difficulties as Barbie did in their real lifes. I would give it a rating of 8, mostly bc i still dont like Barbies, bc im a man, but since im not rating the dolls, but the movie, and that same movie positively affected my night, then i will give it a 9. At least i can go to sleep now happier then i expected ill go.",9 "I liked how the story began. This isn't a slow narrative, you basically have to run with the characters to catch up with their mind and emotions and sometimes have to see between the frames. I live on the extreme ends of storytelling arch. I love the slow narrative where each and everything is described in such a manner that you feel you are in that situation and you start feeling what the character feels and then there is the impromptu situation where you are unexpectedly put in and you have to start catching up with why the characters are doing what they are doing. Both are fun ways to sit back and enjoy a show. Sacred Games falls under the latter category. Ganesh Gaitonde is that don who has only one purpose and that is to be the city he lives in - Bombay. The show takes us through his journey from Trimbakeshwar to Bombay and how as an adult after pedaling in drugs he decides by and by that he is meant for much more than that. He dreams big and he sets his ambition into action. We see ruthlessness in him which is a pre requisite of being a don but at the same time we see him trying to make his gang walk the secular line so as not to have religion come into play. You and I and that is if you were born in the 80's will nod your head at the narrative of the story when scenes of unrest are shown in the post Indira Gandhi era that has left the nation broken and at the same time has become that ""gap"" that Politicians use as their mosh pits come election season. Gaitonde claims he has three fathers and tells us about each one and how they influenced his life and made him who he is. Then we have Sartaj, the Sikh inspector who is trying really hard to battle the internal corruption in police services by refusing to give a false statement in court. His refusal becomes leverage for his superior who dangles his refusal as bait at every opportunity that Sartaj needs back up or when he works on a lead. Sartaj has his own emotional baggage. His wife has left him and he hasn't gotten over her. This I presume is what leads him to consume anxiety pills. We see a little bit of emotional instability in him but not so much that we question his judgment as he pursues his cop instincts. Anjali Mathur, the RAW agent who wants to step out into the field and not just stay behind her desk. She, like Sartaj, follows her instincts and teams up with Sartaj to save the city. Except she believes there is more to the story than just a gang war. Of course she is stopped from acting on her hunch and evidence because hey she's a girl and girls can't go out and play after sundown. Like Sartaj she also has her own reasons for being who she is and that is what propels her into going forward to uncover the roles of different people in the story. Kookoo, I think was a metaphor for the city itself and whoever had Kookoo had Bombay. That's all that I'll be saying about this character. These are the primary characters and these characters all have very obvious roles to play and are definitely the leads but for me it was the secondary actors who did all the work in making me hate and love the plot. Kanta Bai, who is so freaking stoic even when there is chaos around her and even when things are going bad she is just there strong as a pillar and not scared of Gaitonde. Probably because she is more like a mother to him, after all it's all thanks to her that he gets his first break. Katekar, is that constable who is at Sartaj's beck and call. Even though he represents the constable in the series he is also doing the added job of being the common man's voice when he is expressing his opinions as a person. Most of us have skewed perspectives based on the news and political speeches we are fed. Malcolm Murad, was a decently surprising character. I liked him in entirety except in one place when he did something out of character. DCP Parulkar's character has been portrayed so well! He makes you hate him. He makes you want to plough through his body with a rain of bullets. I like it when actors actually make you believe they are really that bad. The dialogues are amazing, even the ones making a jibe at political situations. Don't know who Shah Bano is? Google her. I like how one-liners were used to tell months' worth of tense situations in the country. But is this the best story ever told? No. Was the story predictable? Yes. Were we told anything different with this story? No. So what exactly is the show's USP? Acting!",9 Unbelievible thoughts . Fantastic just with on word .,9 "Dunkirk is a visual treat for art-buffs and students of cinematic discipline. But for everyone else, especially those who love history, the movie is a massive failure due to it's sheer incompetence in capturing the scale and import of the biggest military evacuation in modern history- 3,38,000 allied soldiers saved by over 1000 boats and ships in just a week. Dunkirk was not just any other battle incident in WWII. It's the story of how a large number of civilian vessels and navy ships safely transport around an enormous number of soldiers back to home. Its about achieving impossibility, doing a miracle, defying all odds only because so huge number of people were to be saved by so many untrained rescuers. Dunkirk is all and only about scale. Take this scale out and it becomes meaningless. Ask yourself - would anyone had given entire incident a second glance if there were 1000 soldiers to be saved and 20 odd boats came from Britain to do the job? No one, including Christopher Nolan himself. Yet he takes this subject and almost in a blasphemous treatment of its importance, does away with the very scale that made Dunkirk 'Dunkirk'. What you see is an empty beach, a handful of soldier, a few odd boats in water, and two spitfires in sky, trying to play out a theatrical enactment of entire event. And that's what this movie is- just theatrics and technicalities- creating temporal disturbances in story lines to impress the gullible, patching oddball narratives to cover- up for plot weakness, raining down musical scores to hide its lack of substance. I hope Mr Nolan never makes a movie on memory of Hiroshima attack - because then instead of a giant mushroom cloud that killed over 40,000 souls and decimated a city we will see a mild explosion and a couple of smoked huts.",1 "I really love Good Omens the original. It was a great story and great acting. Season 2 is a disaster. I'm not finished and this may end up being the rare show I never make it to the end {I'm looking at you Barry}. It's like they tried to come up with a plot when they started shooting. You barely care about the story, the acting is crap and I kinda hope the end is Armageddon so everyone can be out out of their misery. I really hope David T. Was paid well, as this blemish on his otherwise great career will lower his rate for future work. Let's just hope no one decides to make Good Omens 3 after this train wreck.",3 "I never saw Argo when it was in the movie theaters. Mainly because i think that Ben Affleck is a lousy actor and also because I read a lot of reviews telling me that the story was inaccurate. Well, I finally saw the movie on a slow afternoon at a friend's house without paying for it. Thanks for that. Because it certainly is not worth to pay for and it is not even worth the time . First of all I fell asleep several times while watching the movie and had to start it over and over again. So much for suspense. I am so tired of movies depicting Americans as the saviors of this world. I am so tired of American movies showing the people of other countries as bad and dangerous and inferior. Maybe the Hollywood movie people should remember that the US is a melting pot of people from all over the world and there is nobody living in this country, who did not come from somewhere else originally. I will never understand how this movie got nominated and won Academy awards. Actually that is not true, I understand that these awards are bought and obviously that year the gang around Ben Affleck spent enough money to win the price. I also understand that even IMDb is a forum where people vote and review just to promote a movie because they are paid for it. So whatever rating we see on this movie is not really representative of people who actually paid for seeing the movie. Well, I did not pay either and I am so glad I didn't.",1 "You are meant to love this film. Its what the mainstream film critic class tells you should do. In reality, this film is long and boring, its a chore to watch the entire thing. Its heavily steeped in the Baby Boom ethos, which is uninteresting to anyone under age 45. There are so many ""great filmmakers"" who are cotemporaries of Spielberg it makes one wonder if any of them are that special. Aside from ""Schiedler's List"" which was a masterpiece, Spielberg has been hit or miss for decades now. Is a film that celebrates his entire life in the way this does really merited or compelling in 2023? Not really. Many of events in this film are strange and hard to understand. The antisemitism, which one could see coming from frame one falls flat, I realize these are anecdotes of Spielberg, but there is no context to explain. There was antisemitism in American life in the 50s and 60s and that's unfortunate, but let's be clear, Jewish kids from well to do families were among the most privileged youngsters of the last 60 years. This film smacks of Oscar Bait and no doubt there would be nominations. I won't recommend this to anyone.",2 "Is so bad that i want to leave the cinema after 20 minutes. Poor acting, poor script and very predictable.",3 A pure historical movie based on real facts and figures. Both leading characters were diamonds in their respective roles. One of the best 21st century movie by Bollywood. I am out of words.,10 "Pretends at high action and intensity - and there are chunks of that - but heavily padded with backstory and family stories and buddy stories and war stories and group stories and etc. Lots of capital-A ""Acting"" where each person stares at the other for a minute or so then lets out a grunt. And the action - when we get it - is often silly and cliched. A speeding car is T-boned by a truck. How many times have we seen that? Which btw is difficult to get right even as a stunt and impossible in real life. Machine gun battles in which the heroes are invulnerable, or heal in 15 minutes if they catch a few rounds. Overall a decent plot worth about 1/5 of the time it all takes. Overweight, slow, and finally just... boring. Re-watch ""24"" instead.",6 "Seem pretty boring for me want my type, plus its an old movie",2 The first reviews posted on here must have been people associated with the film trying to hype up this mess. All over the place and lacks any kind of heart. Needs a fresh director moving forward. CgI was worse than ghost rider. First one was waaaaay better.,4 "No, it is not the worst thing. but clearly is not a great movie. Kinda of bleh. It looks like a very expensive nicholodeon movie where the kids are going to fight the evil businessman who is gong to destroy the forest - the problem is that this particular businessman is a slaver and killed hundreds of people. The tonal issues are all over the place, specially in the music. Kinda of funny, don´t expect anything original, the scene from the shining is funny. The sound was so loud it gave me a headache.",5 "First couple of episodes were good but it started becoming like Indian Idol and Indian tv shows with drama between sharks and contestant's back stories. Stop doing that and believe in the concept.",7 "LOL. This movie currently has a 8.2 IMDB rating??!! I just got back from the theatre and believe me, it's nowhere near that good. I almost fell asleep twice! I'm giving it a 4 and that's generous. Marvel needs to close up shop entirely for a few years and do a complete reboot with all new writers. The storyline and acting were below average. The special effects were just barely average, nothing spectacular. This is basically another Marvel money-grab capitalizing on the past performances of an established character. There's quite a lot I could say about this movie that will become painfully obvious In the first few minutes if you watch it. Let's just say that it lives up to what you would expect coming out of Hollywood these past few years. Don't believe all of these 9 and 10 star ratings. Manipulating reviews and ratings for movies these days is a full time business for the movie industry.",4 "An intriguing story that progressed rather well. However, the main character was extremely unlikable and due to not getting even a glimpse of the daughter until much later, her actions and reasoning was heavily disconnected. For the rest of the characters, they were solely clichéd stereotype caricatures. This might be the attempt at black comedy, but is nothing of the sort, they are not funny, just childish. The acting was laughable and nearly every attempt at emotional scenes felt either cringe or weak. The cinematography was very uninteresting - besides from a memorable longer single-take scene. The sound design was especially bad when it came to the added sound effects - which were extremely loud. The CGI was noticeably bad. Once the movie reaches halfway through though, it no longer progresses as well and feels very drawn out. The expectation that not much actually impactful things will happen slowly sets in and perfectly prepares the audience for an underwhelming conclusion. It is not the conclusion itself, it is the build up. Had it been obvious that the movie will conclude, with some mayor event, it would have been somewhat fulfilling. Unfortunately, in this case, instead it is obvious that the movie will conclude because of the short remaining runtime...",3 "Well, after writing my summary maybe I don't need to write a review. First off, this isn't really my type of film. But I watched it and tried to follow it as closely as possible. But the film is way too long, overdone, too complicated and too messy. It is also too literal. Dreams are messy, choppy, chaotic and blurry. For some reason, dreams for this crew are pretty neat and orderly. Sure things seem distorted at times but not in a dream-like manor. And then the films starts to fall into the Hollywood formula with chases, people shooting, people getting shot, blah, blah, blah. I frankly became bored with the entire thing and was glad when it was over. I don't understand all the fuss over this.",4 "It's laughable reading the ratings for this film. I honestly DO BELIEVE that some reviewers are genuinely being paid for these ratings, because there was no way that if anyone were reviewing this film honestly would have given it anything over a 7 rating. Now don't get me wrong, I expected silliness from the trailers, however I did expect it to be funny! With a superhero formula there were a million ways to have made this film entertaining and humorous, but it was neither. It was made for the kids and that's ok. As someone mentioned earlier, this REALLY could have been a movie made strictly for Nickelodeon seeing at how this film is targeting that particular audience. Again, that's not a bad thing at all considering that it's for the kiddos. But whomever greenlighted this for a major motion picture release should be fired. I can't see how this character will fit into the DC film catalog, but that remains to be seen. A good laugh for teens and younger, but a waste of time for anyone a little older who were just looking for just a little more.",5 A dark comedy with smart storytelling. People with particular agenda are trying to downgrade this brilliant movie,10 "It's not a bad Tony Scott film but I don't think it was the best of all best films. All of those Tony Scott movies nowadays are like commerial like mainstream films. Denzel Washington and the young dude from Star Trek, not a bad cast. It was okay. The movie is interesting in certain levels and the storyline is okay, it should be integrated into a scary film. I love scary movies in fact, I've been writing screenplays since I was a teenager and I'm planning to make my own films as well. But the film is okay I think Denzel and Chris Pine should team up together and do two more films together. The next one is a detective film and the other a drama.",5 "This series overhyped garbage! Disney/Marvel have tried very hard to be clever and creative, instead they've just failed miserably at it. The first episode was really annoying and unfunny. The second episode was even worse. Don't waste your time folks!",1 "This is a good show. It started out pretty intense and then it slows down a little in the middle episodes, but it was a very entertaining season 1 for sure. I personally don't think it's quite as dark as Watchmen (which I think is one of the all time great movies), and it has a lot more moments of levity, but it's definitely in that same vein. Amazon can do a lot with this series and I hope they keep it going for a while.",8 "I don't do a ot of reviews but I'm adding one in hopes I can save someone else from spending 6 hours watching and have nothing to show. Most mini-series start out slow to introduce all the characters, this show never appeared to have any success in developing character lines. Each episode has no cohesion to the previous episode, and the fifth episode was like watching a completely different show and had absolutely nothing to do with the storyline. Once again, another Prime series that leaves to audience hanging with no resolution to anything that occurred in earlier episodes. I have no doubt this show will be cancelled. If not, it should be.",3 "My issues with this film lie at the very core, the very philosophy it was built on. Eggers' film is a love letter to the ""death of the author"" concept, which holds that the artist's true intention for the art is no more valid that the audience's interpretation of it. Perhaps the author did not mean anything by having the curtains in the character's room be blue, but if the reader saw symbolism there, then there is significance in it. I think this philosophy is a load of crap. It is little wonder that The Lighthouse, then, is a mishmash of scenes, symbols, references, and dialogue that have only the barest sense of cohesion. After all, why bother trying to convey a story or a message if anyone can just come up with their own valid interpretation? The only concretes are that Pattinson is miserable and is losing his mind. There's clearly some theme going on with Pattinson being divinely punished for past and current sins, but that still doesn't explain much of what takes place in the film. Eggers has said that Pattinson and Dafoe represent Prometheus and Proteus, respectively, but like the rest of the film this provides vibes only and lacks any real depth or meaning. Pattinson and Dafoe can't agree on what this movie is about. If you search for videos and articles on this movie, you will find 50 different interpretations of what was real and what wasn't, what happened and what was a dream, what was literal and what was metaphor. For me, that is a sign of a movie that has failed somewhere. But I am in the minority.",4 "For a sequel it's for once an absolute delight. I liked the first Venom a lot (I rated it with 8 stars), but I think this one is even better (I would rate it 8.5 if that was possible). Venom is still funny to listen to, aggressive like always but very entertaining. Tom Hardy is perfect again to play this role. Woody Harrelson is always good, that's what we're used from him. In fact the whole cast did a great job. From all the Marvels this one is one that I can't get enough from. I'm already looking forward to the next one, in the hope the CGI's are still that great, the cast still that good, and Venom still that mean and funny.",8 "Fights, story and heroes , they are so much lovely. Season one is very well but season to is not so good... the first episode of season two has a bad graphic.",8 Since i had already watched a documentary on the Surgical strikes. I almost knew what to expect and what i might get to see. Well everything happened in the operation was uncovered by the dignitaries and forces in the documentary. And this movie is a whole different thing which i felt is way far from reality and just gets worse when some unwanted cinema drama has been forced into the story. Which not only makes the movie boring but makes it look stupid at times. Each and every actor has done a great job. It's just the screenplay and direction that really lags and they are just trying to feed audience with stuff far from truth and unwanted drama. Without any doubt one can say that this is just a commercial movie just for business and definitely not to show respect or pay tribute to the forces. I've got great respect towards the forces. It's just these hypocrites that i'm criticising who just try to make business out of everything and fool people with their agenda! Watch the documentary on History tv18 you'll know what i meant.,3 "They really could have done a lot with this movie. To me it fell flat. It's like A Quiet Place, but worse. I was bored for most of the movie. The dynamic between the characters, the emotions, and tensions were not believable. I couldn't connect to the movie on any level. Also, the treatment of the children was completely unnecessary and added nothing to the story. It's like they were trying to be contrarian just for the sake of being contrarian. All in all, I'm very disappointed. If you don't mind movies where nothing happens while everything is supposed to happen, and artificial suspense, you might like this.",3 "When I went to go see Batman Begins I really did'nt have anything in mind that it looked cool, after I saw it, it did'nt really do anything for me meaning movie wise, plot wise and the story now don't get me wrong I thought it was alright there were some parts that I liked but just most of the movie did'nt grab me. My girlfriend on the other hand thought it was great, I think she used the word ""impressed"", it impressed her I don't know maybe I am just one of those love-the-original-movies guy. I still have to say that Batman with Michael Keaton was great. Can somebody explain to me who really killed Bruce Wayne's parents? I mean was it Joker or Joe Chill? Cause I am lost on that subject but otherwise the fighting scene's were pretty cool and I thought that Christian Bale was alright. Please somebody respond on the question I asked earlier",5 Watch this for its action sequences. Action shots were supposed to be good as it was being directed by Sam Hargrave but the plot is the real weak point in the movie. There was absolutely no plot and no such storyline but still it was an enjoyable ride.,6 "Why are cocky, quippy superheroes so annoyingly popular right now? Of the protagonists, Rocket and Quill are the worst for it, where it feels like every scene (no matter how serious) must come bundled with a dumb joke. The characters and performances in this film are fine at best, and at worst they're Chris Pratt, who clearly couldn't care less. Genuine character moments are either forced, like when Rocket gets drunk and gives his sob story, or deflated by a joke, and it feels like the characters don't really change beyond Marvel's usual learning-to-work-as-a-team arc. It's a shame, because on paper the Guardians are a colourful and varied cast of characters. The story is also kind of lazy, and it's the sci-fi world-building that holds it up most, with lots of ""Star Trek""-esque aliens and cool locations. I like Nebula and Gamora's sibling rivalry, and the separate directions in which it takes them, but I don't like the awkward love story between Gamora and Quill, the mostly unfunny dialogue, or the cheap dead parent backstory. There are far too many moments that want to be epic or cool, but moments like that come naturally, not because you force them. The only people who feel like they're in danger are nameless Nova pilots or Xandar citizens, but never the protagonists - despite moments where they seem like they're about to die, Gamora and Groot each survive once and Quill twice, so there are no stakes. The soundtrack is something people love, but it's just a playlist of recognisable songs, and most of them only fit the scenes they're playing over in the vaguest sense of mood. It's a cheap tactic to make the film seem quirky and colourful. Speaking of colourful, the cinematography can be gorgeous to look at, though it's let down by poor-looking energy VFX (lasers, holograms, etc.) and too many things cluttering the screen during action sequences. Marvel's tried-and-tested formula is just repeated here, but with extra pizzazz. It's a story about people working as a team to defeat a one-dimensional villain, and it has all the beats of the most average adventure film imaginable. A handful of beautiful visuals and some neat sci-fi world-building aren't worth it. 4/10.",4 I was hoping for something more.I thought it was going to surprise me but it wasnt.It is fun but lacking of wow factors.,6 """Interstellar"" pretends to be more intelligent than Alfonso Cuarón's audio-visual roller coaster, ""Gravity"", but ironically its best moments are those which, like Gravity, rely purely on thrill and spectacle. For the rest of the film we are crammed into a tiny shuttle with McConaughey and his crew, or back on earth with the desperate remnants of human civilization as they attempt to solve the problem of starvation. Most of the dialogue consists of reams and reams of contrived quantum-physics babble, which, if you're like me, will whoosh straight over your head like those exposition sequences in CSI, with brief moments of levity provided by the two -weirdly cubic looking- robots TARS and CASE. Their journey to find another habitable planet is marred by a sequence of seemingly insurmountable problems that become progressively so ludicrous, it ends up impossible to take them seriously, albeit exciting to watch. We already have to stretch our disbelief past the opening premise that the world is dying because of crop blight, yet they've managed to build robots that have human intelligence and can adapt a variety of shapes to achieve a wide range of tasks. One wonders why humans at this level of technological advancement couldn't have found a solution to curbing this unexplained blight other than blasting off into a foreign galaxy to try and populate a mysterious planet neighboring a black hole. Glaring plot issues aside (and there are many), the film is at its best when in full space simulator mode and the audience is being catapulted into the roaring white light of a black hole, accompanied by Hans Zimmer's electrifying score (props to Zimmer for once NOT composing something that sounded exactly like Pirates of The Caribbean), making full use of the IMAX experience. Performances are fairly solid, in particular Jessica Chastain as the grown up Murph, and there is enough raw emotion on show to push some of the more logically questionable moments past your cynic meter and give a sense of weight and importance to what is happening, even if you can't quite understand it. Definitely worth watching on the big screen, but would I give it a 9/10? No way. This is a film that you will enjoy on face value, but once you leave the cinema you will start picking it to shreds. There are just too many inconsistencies, contrivances and blatant stupidity in the plot to call this a masterpiece, but I'd give it a solid 7 for blockbuster entertainment value.",7 I can't remember to have ever seen a movie at this level. Images of the space and the earth are the best part of this movie. And everything else is crap. The first ten minutes I hoped it would get a little more realistic. It doesn't. It's more a caricature of science fiction. Really don't understand that there would be anyone who'll enjoy this movie. Don't waste your 90 minutes on this one. Life is too short.,1 What can i say. The first movie was great. I am not sure what happened in the past three years other then people are losing their mind. Evident the woke message will continue. I'm done with Holyrood. Decent story poor delivery.,2 "For someone who hasn't read the books or played the game, with so many characters the time jumps were too confusing. This wasn't helped by two of the main characters not aging. Hopefully season 2 won't be so all over the place!",5 "Imagine Deadpool, but manga version. The de facto superhero parody series of this decade. Brilliant, impressive, and hilarious in every respect. For a series all about an overpowered protagonist, it got my heart pumping and emotionally invested. Also, Tatsumaki is a loli goddess.",9 Its alright but not nearly as good as all the hype is about. I don't get why this has such a good review from critics maybe just because its a marvel movie. Good visual effects and acting from Jordan peele but that's about it. Story line horrible.,2 "When I first walked into the cinema to watch this movie my first expectation is just for it to be funny and fun pink bling bling stuff but I should've expected a more deeper meaning to this movie when it's a Greta Gerwig movie. And what even more interesting about this movie is when you watch this at the first half you would think it is solely about woman empowerment and stuff but at the end it really does explain about man's feeling and insecurities as well. The introduction of patriarchy towards Ken is such an amazing and fun scene to watch. Ryan gosling is such a good actor to play the himbo role since you can enjoy his character despite how he portrayed the toxic masculinity role so well. But I wanna focus more on my point of view as a woman myself here. Watching this movie as someone who's childhood revolves around Barbie doll brings so much nostalgia and make me realize how it plays a huge part in my journey as a woman. The transitions from being a little girl to a woman is spot on. It touches about insecurities and the man's expectations of a woman and many more crucial problems. It is so woman empowering and the message is quite obvious and delivered pretty strongly and straight forward in the scripts. But I couldn't deny the scriptwriting really touches my heart and makes me wanna cry. But i still wish it was being potrayed and conveyed more subtly as it will be more fun for viewers to interpret the message itself but I understand that this Barbie movie's targeted audience could be from all range of age so the message should be crystal clear. It's just some people might think that this movie is solely forcing an agenda. Like as a woman I get this whole messages but for someone else it might be coming off to strong and seems pretty stereotypical feminism BS which is a hard pill to swallow but we all know certain people in our society will have that kind of opinion when they saw the movie. That's why I wish it comes more naturally, thats all. But I think the ending make up the whole strong message about feminism earlier with how its was not just about that. Like I said the movie also touches about the whole experience as a human no matter what their gender are and how we're flawed but that's just what life is.",9 "I've read 8 great reviews on this film. I went and saw the movie last night, and I'm usually a very positive person, but was very disappointed. The highly ranked reviews must be from Sunshine Pumpers who are desperate for a comeback of a 1940's musical, or don't have a clue about a great musical:(""Chicago"", ""West Side Story"", ""Moulin Rouge"", ""Grease"", ""Singing in the Rain"", ""Cabaret"", ""Oklahoma"", ""King and I"" etc. etc. etc.) None of the songs were catchy or memorable. The good: Emma Stone did some very good acting. Also the sets were creative, and colorful. Miscast: Ryan Gosling, he can't sing. (think of a 25 year old stoic Kevin Costner) He would have been better type cast in a sports, western, buddy movie, mystery, gangster, or in a drama. Most likely cast as eye candy for the 18 to 24 year old gals. The opening scene is a hot, sweaty LA traffic jam on the freeway, where 50 or more people jump out of their cars, and start dancing and singing. It's a long non-stop shot that is VERY difficult to film. (think of Orson Welles: ""Touch of Evil"") but we have all been there, no fun, brought back bad memories of heavy traffic jams, and I just couldn't see the fun in a traffic jam. It's like I wouldn't want to see a song and dance scene of a ER room or of Anne Frank. No memorable classic lines: ('Show Me the Money"", ""You'll Shoot Your Eye Out Kid"", ""There's No Crying in Baseball"". Folks, this film will be forgotten in a year. Don't expect the next coming of ""The Sound of Music"". This is a poor man's Woody Allen movie!",1 "Definitely a big step forward for Indian content on Netflix.. However my co-patriots seem to have gone a bit overboard with the ratings and review..There were definitely a few misses here and there. For starters, Nawaz is not really convincing as a Maharashtrian gang lord. Doesn't have the accent, neither utters a single Marathi cuss-word while everyone else in the cast slips into their characters effortlessly. The other eyesore was Radhika Apte with her strong/thick Puneri accent trying fit into a north Indian intelligence agent. Also, Nawaz's characters Hindu roots were underplayed, a radicalized don who doesn't sport a Saffron Tika on the forehead and no sacred threads on the wrist. Would've expected more homework from the team. The episode naming gave a good refresher into Mythology classes from childhood. My friendly neighborhood RSS shakha pramukh used to recite examples of Yayati and Halahala pan by Lord Shiva. Poor guy got consumed by the 1992 movement otherwise he could have written this script better..",9 "Epic Fail. People are to plug in a cable to some black box, close their eyes and become visitors in other's heads? Come on - thats way too simple and too far away, if not absolutely impossible anywhere in our universe, and never will.Given that, it's nearly impossible for me to get a grip into that film. Too unrealistic. One's think all the time is ""that cannot be"". ""So is fiction!"" one might admit. But for me Inception lacks the ability to lead its spectator over ""that final threshold"" that lets us forget just and right that. I love C.Nolans interpretation of the Memento Mori. Kinda realistic. Thrilling. One real classic. Inception is not. Look what happened to Avatar in #Top250.",1 "Cant believe Tom Hardy go in this awefull project !? Ok money ofc ! Just 3 words, children spit it Some scene are for crying. Omg what a stupid movie !",1 "For me that was a boring movie with a very unexpected ending plot, i kept waiting for something important/interesting to happen but that just did not happened. I personally did not liked it, but i guess i just did not understood the purpose of the film.",6 "I am a huge fan of the original animated Tick series. The 2001 series didn't recognize what made the original so great, so the humor was changed to be an entirely different kind of show. This series starts out amazing; the first episode has the exact level of humor seen in the original series. However, the original series was very episodic in nature with no overarching plot. This series adds a full-series plot, but it quickly becomes far too serious as it tries to develop and maintain that storyline, losing much of the humor that was seen in the first episode.",4 "I've put the alert to see this movie but I didn't have had the stomach to fully watch the first mission before I quit. Don't do the same mistake as me, this is not only for 16+ (I'm 37).",3 "The opening scene was the strongest part of the movie, it is shocking and instantly grabs your attention. However, that energy doesn't carry over to the rest of the film. This is an example of an idea outweighing its execution. The concept of the embalmed hand used to conjure spirits was unique but aside from that this film doesn't do anything special. The main character grieves the loss of her mother and wishes to connect with her so she uses the hand to do so. This film reminded me a bit of ""Insidious Chapter 3"" but it wasn't as good. There is only one other scene besides the opening scene that has any kind of tension or suspense. This film lacked atmospheric horror as well as jump scares. There wasn't even anything creepy about the spirits that were conjured. The origin of the embalmed hand wasn't concrete as some characters had different stories as to where the hand came from. It would have been nice if they just picked an idea and stuck with it. The development of every single character in this movie was bare bones. The main character was grieving her mother and didn't have a good relationship with her father. Her father was made to seem like he had an important role in the film but he didn't. She had a best friend who had a little brother and a boyfriend. The dynamics between all of those characters are very cliché and corny. This film was a waste of time and a complete let down. The only good thing about it was that it was over rather quickly.",1 "Poor, more of a dance with knives and guns. Far too many fights, the writers seems to have forgotten to put a plot in between each set piece.",2 "The premise to Black Mirror is not too dissimilar to The Twilight Zone. Each episode has its own unique characters fight against some form of technology. The Twilight Zone focused on the moral goodness and hope for humanity while Black Mirror can be far more depressing and reflect the negative tendencies of society. My favorite aspect of the series is the negative effects of technology. I don't think that has been a part of conversation in society, but it is true. Netflix's recent documentary The Social Dilemma highlights this, but Black Mirror takes this concept forward. There is so much we don't understand about our existence and our place in the world: our existence, extraterrestrial life or the unknown effects of greenhouse gasses that are rapidly causing climate change. We keep discovering and exploring, but at a certain point we have to realize we need to stop. This is the focal message of Black Mirror: understanding the negative effects of technology and of human nature. I think this show was needed before the pandemic to wake people, to make them realize technology and people have faults. I do not think something like this is needed at this time, it will most likely just make our current situation feel more depressing. I am optimistic about the existence of humanity. We need to learn from our mistakes and realize the massive potential we have to cause our extinction through technology or other means. Technology is painted as something that causes humans to be cruel, which is true just not to the degree portrayed in the show. Certain episodes seem to display technology as a way to be cruel and mask or expose their insecurities. Charlie Brooker is a complete genius because every episode captures these feelings no matter the different technologies used. I love the show even though it can be slightly depressing depending on the episode. I highly suggest to skip the first episode about the British PM, it scarred me for months before I could watch any other episode. Brooker has a real message behind every single one of his episodes and that is why I love watching them. Maybe season 5 was not his best work, but I am excited to see how this pandemic has inspired him to create innovating, daring stories going forward! Please watch this show, it is definitely worth your time!",9 "Anyone expecting a light comedy about the Barbie doll and her fans based on the title will be irritated. Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach unroll a crazy story around a real Barbie, in which the social roles of women and men are reflected, partly wittily, partly very seriously. I recommend the film, especially for adults, since a certain general education and life experience are required to understand the many allusions to social phenomena. I very much enjoyed the quotes from earlier film classics, such as ""2001: A Space Odyssey"", ""The Godfather"" and ""Monty Python and the Holy Grail"". A film worth seeing!",8 Stereotypical characters and predictable jokes. Seems like it's written by 15 year olds. The one who plays JJ does an awful performance. Some good action scenes. Might be something to watch when hung over.,3 "Everyone should read Solomon Northup's memoir. It is a powerful, moving, and culturally important tale of the injustice of slavery. This movie, however, seemed to be a poor attempt to turn that story into quick cash. Characters were not developed, scenes were stitched together in an odd way, and the ending was rushed and didn't seem to convey the intense emotions Solomon had in being rescued. I understand a movie can only do so much, but I'm not sure how a viewer who has not read the memoir would be able to get much from the movie. And those who have read it will be disappointed at lost opportunities to convey the true horror of the situation and total exclusion of some important anecdotes (particularly the continued menace of Tibeats)",3 "I thought the 1st spiderman was awesome, somehow this movie took that even 1 step further. Like the original the characters were great, and they stayed the same as they were, they didnt change at all which is a plus so everyone was already familiar. What i think topped the original for me is the villan and the story, even tho i really liked them in the original something hit me in this movie as just a little better, this is a great movie for any spiderman fan.",9 I would have rated this series 8 stars. But they produced season 2. That was not even ok. But not bad either. But season 3 !! Seriously? Whats the point of 13 FREAKING REASONS WHY then? DISGUSTED! (Season 4 is coming I guess),6 "The sequence of events and their arrangement in an effective way to draw you into the universe of the series, its characters, and everything associated to it is one of the series' finest qualities. True, there are some things that are unclear, but this is not a bad aspect more than what is also a positive component because it gives an interesting element of ambiguity to the series, the characters change, and their development is positive rather than negative , as well as how unique the aims and plans of the characters are. It's a fantastic and amazing thing. This is one aspect that I believe the series did a fantastic job with. But I didn't like ciri and her relationship with geralt its the worst and the fighting seens are not good like I knowed that geralt will win in every fight. I want to commend the actors for their convincing performance especially henry cavill and Anya Chalotra , And amazing soundtrack and thank Netflix for producing such good work. After all its good show.",8 Making a movie with Venom and Carnage is not an easy thing to do. It's a short movie with attention to detail. The chemistry between Eddie and Venom is just amazing. Love how they handle that. Don't think this movie has more to offer than you get...It's a 7 star for me + 1 star for the post-credit scene ;),8 "Quite how the makers managed to get away with not crediting this show as a remake of the hit uk show Happy Valley is the biiggest mystery of this rather dull and univolving limited series. Winslet is very good in it but I never really felt she disappeared into the role, moreso a lunge for an Emmy to go with the Oscar on the mantlepiece. The show hits all the same beats as its uncredited uk counterpart but without any of the real grit and dark humour that Happy Valley gave us. It no doubt plays better to a U. S audience unaware of HV but I cant imagine anyone who saw the 2014 uk show first not twigging this isva rather shameless and inferior rip off in pretty much every department.",5 "Amazing, inspiring. this mini web episodes made us closer to the reality of what hurdles an entrepreneur has to go through. Its been long time since Indian serials have been filtered. We urge TVF to bring this kinds of concept to televisions to cater a much larger audience who are still under the influence of bad and stupid serials which are creating an obnoxious mentality in Indian Society. I request Tvf to again make these kind of series which can transform the generations to come. The brilliant concept which was shown in Pitchers gives an inspiration and time to prepare the future entrepreneurs to get ready for the hardship",10 "Black Panther brings nothing new to the table. It's a copy/paste script, the jokes fell flat, and the ""twists"" were predictable. Michael B Jordan was the only actor who shined, everyone else was serviceable.",4 "I absolutely adored this movie, without spoilers I can say it's truly fun and surprisingly a lot deeper than you would initially think going into it. Beyond that I thought the cinematography was fantastic and the color palette was perfect, and above all else the acting was amazing from everyone in it! Especially Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, I know people were hesitant to accept him as Ken but he really knocks it out of the park, and I honestly cannot believe they considered people other than Margot Robbie to be Barbie. It's like she was BORN for this role. Absolutely adored this movie and I hope no one listens to the review bombing, it really is a treat!!",10 "Nice movie after a long time in bollywood. I don't really like Kangana Ranaut before this movie. But this movie made me her fan. She really played the role so well from a typical family Indian girl to a confident modern Queen. Nothing in the movie felt bored for me. The songs are very good and placed at nice places. The cinematography is really good. Hats off to the director for making such a movie in bollywood. Even everything done, all credit goes to Kangana Ranaut only. She deserves a National award. I love this movie.",9 "Two lead characters are so wacky and comical in every sense. There is no sex involved between two, and a girl controls over a boy. I mean, that beautiful girl actually forces him to do things for her own pleasure. movie is divided by three chapters. The first two chapters are enjoyable, hilarious in some scenes, and most of all,,entertaining all the way. Then, there goes a thirty minute of third chapter which suddenly focuses on a sappy romance and totally ruins everything; it doesnt make any sense, and too pretentious overall. However, you will still like this one, because it is a different kind of romantic story that you have never seen before.",10 "Super stars also cannot help as the storyline and direction ... and a complete absence of that one character which can carry the show. The character build up is absolutely pathetic. Very soon , when this is a thing of the past , Anurag will talk about the reasons which killed the show. Some of the supporting characters though have done a great job.",3 "I guess all the hype about this movie had raised my expectations, which is never a good thing. Nevertheless, I wanted to see the movie in IMAX 3D to get the full effects, which I did. First off, George Clooney sounded more like Danny Ocean than like a real astronaut. This is not to say that astronauts don't make jokes and tell stories but, under the circumstances of the movie, that folksiness was misplaced. But my main problem with this movie is that it was filled with disasters that would have killed the astronauts several times over, but somehow they are survivable in this movie. In truth, that makes it similar to many Hollywood films, like Mission Impossible, for example. But we expect that kind of unbelievability in movies like that whereas we were led to believe that this one was more realistic, and that's why I ultimately felt let down. Most of the situations faced in this movie simply were unbelievable. I also have to say that the ending came way too suddenly, as if the real ending had been cut off. Did the filmmakers not know how to end the movie? It sure seemed that way. Ultimately, I am glad I saw it but felt a little ripped off after having paid $16 for an IMAX ticket. I expected more.",5 "The Martian It was OK. Not great, but not bad. Definitely worth seeing in the 3D AVX for the cinematography. If you want to watch Matt Damon eat potatoes, and stare at his bottom for 2 hours, this is the movie for you! It's really a NASA ingratiating movie. In real life they would just let the guy die on mars, instead, the entire world rally's behind this guy, which isn't realistic. Let's spend billions of dollars to get this Matt Damon home. At least in movies like Armageddon, they're saving the planet. Same fanfare. Really it's like that movie had the most calamity of mess ups to get him stranded, and an equal amount to get him home. It's like 99% this movie shouldn't have even happened in the first place. Hollywood Malarkey. It made me want to watch Interstellar again.",5 "If not for the great acting from people like Sebastian Stan, Daniel Brühl and Anthony Mackie, this show would be unwatchable. The writing is execrable, character arcs are completely ruined for the sake of convenience and everything is 'serving the plot' no matter if it makes sense. This show could've explored the character of Bucky and how he got rid of his programming, since they really wanted to show that he did; they could've explored the problem of repatriation in a much more realistic way, not just the childish labeling of terrorist groups as 'activists' when their cause makes no sense if confronted with the real issues such a global scale event would face. Characters were skewed, opportunities were missed and the writing is just plain dumb. They have a huge budget, and it shows in the production and everything about it, but the story is just not there - plus the directing is very incoherent at times, especially action.",5 I have never watched anything that made me wanted to be a vegetarian this much in my life.,7 Don't feel writing more about it or even wasting my time to write how pathetic movie this could be,1 "IMDb is probably the only place in the world where I can proudly go around saying that I watched the movies and never read the books for anything that has a movie or a book. In that sense, I wouldn't consider myself a rabid fan of the Harry Potter franchise, but I have seen every single one of the movies and loved each one as a kid. Now, we're getting another look at the wonderful world of wizardry, and though I was skeptical at first (I'll admit, I don't like sequels or spinoffs), to my surprise, this was a really fun movie to watch. I went to go see it with a friend of mine, and we had our fair share of laughs, wows, and ""awww""s. It was an interesting and, compared to the original series, original story with some pretty quirky characters. Sometimes, these characters felt really cheesy (the cast being filled up with the awkward protagonist who actually knows what he's talking about but no one will listen to, the fussy law abiding sidekick, the love interest, and the comic relief), but in the end, it really didn't make a difference. I honestly didn't walk into the theater expecting for the character ark of a lifetime. Sometimes, you just need a few cheesy characters in an action flick, which is exactly what this movie offers. Overall, the film wasn't anything noteworthy. Don't expect something that'll last with you for more than a month, or even a few days. I probably won't see this movie again in the near future, but hell I probably would say the same thing for something like Warcraft or maybe even Star Trek Beyond. It's neither a good thing nor a bad thing, it just goes to show that it's nothing more than a fun action movie. It has cute cgi, cool characters, a good plot that kept me awake after 9:30pm when I went to go see it... But it also had it's set of flaws as well. Now to those of you who've actually seen Harry Potter and are expecting to see some more wizard action, here's some good and bad news. The film really had that whole Harry Potter ""magical world of wizardry"" feel to it. The characters ran around and pointed their wands at things, the pictures were moving around like real people, everything you wouldn't find in the real world had freaky names like ""Squigglewiggles"" or ""Shnorpblops""... The only thing that I thought was lacking was the actual world the characters were in. In the original series, the protagonists were surrounded by floating candles and shifting hallways. In Fantastic Beasts, though, the protagonists are running around in... the real world, surrounded by...... real people. I didn't pay $9.50 to see regular people in the regular world! It might not sound so important, but there was something so charming about Hogwarts that Fantastic Beasts lacks. There were only a few scenes that took place in actual magical locations that had these freaky floating candle style things, but the rest just lacked the charm. Another major issue I had with the film is pretty minor, but it had to do with the antagonist. You see a quick shot of the antagonist at the very beginning and the very end of the film, and that's it. You don't even see his face until the very end. He might've been mentioned in passing in one of the original films or in one of the books, but I know I missed it and was pretty confused as to who the hell this guy was. I ended up having to look him up to find out why he was actually significant, cause he really doesn't seem so bad in Fantastic Beasts. There were some newspaper clippings at the very beginning which I assume described this guy at least a little, but they just flew right by so quickly that I didn't really get a chance to understand what they said. All in all, Fantastic Beasts is a good, fun movie. Nothing more, nothing less. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. I wouldn't see it a second time, but I'm glad I saw it the first. I was very surprised in the end to find out that this spin off was worth my time to go see, and would gladly suggest it to anyone looking for a good time with some friends or family.",7 "Daredevil has nothing in common with perfection of Dark knight! Personally I could watch this show with a fast forward and not notice a difference. Main characters are crap, secondary are fine! The script is childish, and the story is just dumb. Watch an old Japanese movie Zatoichi, it is basically where Marvel got this idea from. Main character Matt is far from even likable, really. I had such a high hopes after seeing the reviews, but then again why would I expect much from modern society, who thinks movies like Deadpool are great. This movie is mediocre at most. If you want to see real crime drama watch True Detective S1-S2! And if you want an action packed TV show watch Warrior or Punisher and skip this waste of time.",6 "--The direction and writing took ques from comic book conventions and took jabs at them, which was well done and amusing. Miles and the rest of the cast are affable peeps with just enough character to make the movie a fun watch. Despite running the risk o",6 Movie is very funny and the direction is top class. Finally Indian cinema is changing. So glad it s finally happening,9 "I can't understand why soooo many people lost their minds because of this movie. Yeah, the idea was great, is attractive to the viewers. But...watching it every single thing that looks nice that you can get hooked, just get missed. The story starts cool, but during the film I just got bored and bored again... Just ONE scene in all movie deserves some attention, but it is just a mirage, after THE scene, the movie turn bored again.. It is a shame, because I really think the idea was really good, it is just maybe the didn't know how to carry out to the screen. For me, Talk to me, doesn't deserve to be watched as an horror film to get scared, just to hang out maybe...",5 "Bullying this kind of thing, only through experience can know what is despair. I think it's funny to stand here and see what happened. But at that time, I felt that my classmates seemed to be over the top. How could I stand to laugh at what happened. The pressure of words is enough for high school students, let alone Bryce's evil deeds. I think it's very true. There are always some people who are bullying. The rest of them should not pretend to be drunk or have nothing to do with themselves.",8 "I loved geralts casting but thats really about it. Yennifer was aweful so was triss. They didn't look nor act the proper part at all. The flashback scenes were also bad and confusing with no easy to discern timeline.",6 "I am very happy that I finished watching this series that was a mixture of drama, action and love and very happy to see Daredevil in Marvel movies. He deserves to be present and has his own business as well.",9 "Well!! This is my first review on IMDb not because i want to show my writing skills but to show my aggression towards so called super star shahrukh khan (who doesn't know how to act) Couple of years ago i was huge fan of this gentleman. I saw news the day before yesterday about movie ""My name is Khan"" that it has broke all records and bla bla!!! the news compelled me to watch it anyway. today i watched it and i just want to state the movie; My name is Khan = DISASTER Please don't watch it!!!! As it doesn't have storyline, in fact story is OK but his acting has ruined it, no climax, no emotions. in short i'll rate it 2/10.i wonder how this movie earned so much in UK? Again I'll request you not to watch it. waste of time.",2 "Just could not get into this. Slow paced and boring, with no really engaging dialogue. Surprised it reviews so highly.",2 "Not sure what the point of this utterly mundane movie was. The ending was good but the rest? Not sure what the story is supposed to be, the movie is two and a half hours long and that is at least one hour too long. The only saving grace is the acting pair of DiCaprio and Pitt (don't even ask about Margot, what she was doing in the movie is a mystery). Everything else is pointless, I am not even sure why I finished the movie.",5 "Maybe good for kids but for me it was quite boring. The storyline is very simple, which is not bad on its own. In this case though, it was also very plain and weak. Actors were ok, and overall acting is alright. CGI was terrible and painful to watch most of the times, and barely passable in rare occasions. DC needs to start doing something about their quality level, because it is all wasted potential. With good writing and CGI this could have been a very nice and fun movie. Keep the actors, change everything else. Same was with Aquaman (though just like with Black Panther, a lot of people decided to praise that movie. Maybe it's Momoa Magic, idk). Barely 6/10, closer to 5.5.",6 "By far and away the best Amazon original programming. Season one was exciting, enticing and alluring in an oh so bad way. Terrific performances all around, stand out performances by several members of the cast but everyone does a great job and contributes to their part. You will not regret watching.",9 "Scorcese doin' his thing... De Niro doin' his thing... Pesci doin' his thing... Seen it all before. I mean, I know it's Scorcese, but geez, come on, Martin. It's kinda the same ol' stuff you've been doing for years. Mob picture - check. Bad guys - check. Italian mobster being your typical Italian mobsters - check. Etc. Etc. I watched it to of course see what seems like Scorcese's swan song, but after a while, I doing it more out of duty and obligation rather than any sort of joy or fascination with the fact that I was watching an unbelievably great film - with great stars... After a while, I came to the conclusion that this was a mediocre endeavor, and the project was given a go because it was Scorcese, De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci. But 'typical mob gangster movie - that I've seen many times before' kept creeping into my membrane... And I felt bad, because these are all great actors (and director) who've done incredible things in the past. Oh well. Better luck next time... Oh, wait...",5 "Last year I watched rhe first season of the Fargo Series and it blew away my mind. Definitely one of the best seasons I watched my entire life. So of course I wanted to see the Fargo movie. Now, after trying the MGM channel on Prime Video I could finally watch it. My expectations were high, the story the movie is based in is the same like the series. And I did not get dissapointed! Although the series is a lot better this movie manages to tell a different but also great story. You also have to admit that the series had more time to develope the story. So in summary I will remember both, the show and the movie of Fargo as great pieces of art.",6 "This a very unnatural final for Captain America´s trilogy. THis is not his movie, but the Avengers 2,5. I binge watch the first and second movie and they were okey, but this has been confirmed to be a reaction for Batman V Superman. The first half of this movie was boring and the pacing was slow. Why couldn´t they have ended this trilogy as planned instead of a reaction to BvS? Watch BvS UE instead. That feels like a natural continuation to MoS.",6 "I loved it. I am not the most picky movie watcher, but I'm a lot more picky that most of my friends, and I always feel lost in a huge garbage pile of sequels, prequels, cinematic universes, and nostalgia cash grabs. This movie is great. It's sufficiently different from the first one, while at the same time keeping the colorful style of ""Knives Out"". The jokes and parodies are not too on the nose, the acting is good. The story is just far-fetched enough to satisfy a lover of whimsical detective mysteries, but not too far-fetched to leave you feeling deceived. Small details revealed earlier tie in nicely with the twists and turns of the plot. If you go in expecting some kind of classic Agatha Christie whodunnit, then maybe your expectations won't be met. But if you, like me, enjoy movies that don't take themselves too seriously, then you might just be pleasantly surprised.",8 OK I was a 90s kid but never was really interested in the tick growing up however when I saw the trailer for this I had to give it a chance and I am rather happy I did this was exciting hilarious and action filled you really cant go to wrong here the tick himself is hilarious and is like the poster boy for dorky sidekicks however it works they are both great together I say give the tick a chance he may save your day from bordom if nothing else lol,7 "I will not go into what's wrong with the movie too much, because it's pretty much everything. The storyline is all over the place, the acting is very cringy at times and mediocre at best. There are some good actors involved but the overly faked African accent just ruins it for them. So here's the real problem, this movie gets an average critic score of 88. Which is very high I mean critic scores on IMDB are never that high, especially for an action movie like this. Then I got to thinking why is it so high? The movie is clearly not that good.. Is it because critics are afraid to score this low because they will be labeled a racist because it's an all black movie? That's really the only reason I can think of. So hence the title, a bad movie got a good score because of the way the world works today. And that to me, is the sadest thing about it all. (I would score 1 out of 10 but I gave 2 because they had nice Lexus cars)",2 "Cinematography and screenplay is very clearn, the show is visually brilliant but It was let down by what seems a lack effort in the writing department. If you aren't familiar with the 'idiot plot' phenomenon then there are some good examples for you in this show. It seems to follow the superhero genre around like a bad smell. For example, someone knows a secret that is important and for no reason that can be justified, they don't tell the person that needs to hear it, that they would probaby usually do so. Characters frequently do the worst possible thing in a given moment and often against their character flow. I'm not sure why there's so much hate to Ellen Page, she wasn't that bad and while I'm no fan at all, she is still the right type of person for the oppressed personality she was meant to play. It just got very inconsistent as to who she was. The show is super predictable, I figured out what would be the cause of the ending in episode 2 and started skipping sections from about 5 episodes in because I was getting frustrated with the inconsistent characters and unsurprisingly opportune timing of another poorly written hurdle to delay any positive progress. While #5 was the strongest actor of the crew, I feel like the only solid performances were that of Hazel and Cha Cha. They bounce off each other well and show a realistic natural progression of their characters. A common theme I see from superhero movies is they are based on the unrealistic which is fine and often awesome, if it can be at least semi justified. They mostly seem to forget however that character actions should not be unrealistic and should always be justified. A 6 overall which to me means that if you like the genre, you are probably used to and can look past the common flaws and have an enjoyable watch.",6 "THEY CHANGED THE ENTIRE CHARACTER OF THE VILLAIN. All of the stuff that made Bain interesting, they didn't even include in the movie. The premise was idiotic. Batman fans always except that for some reason villains want to take over Gotham City, who knows why; especially since they are stuck in the late 50's with the old cars, slum neighborhood etc. But this was just dumb. First of all they really gave no reason that this would be so in this movie, they usually give us that. Then the costume Bain wore served no purpose except to make him look scary, or in this case like Hannibal Lechter. And then the complete departure from the storyline that took us out of the country for what seemed like hours in real time, before ""the Dark Knight Rises"" which everyone knew he would, and they didn't even bother to make that interesting. What they succeeded in doing with this movie was making my butt hurt because I had been sitting waaaaay too long. So if you go see it, buy the extra large popcorn, dump a gallon of butter on it, buy a hotdog, a huge soda, lots of candy, take a cushion, because you're gonna be in there for a while, waiting for what you already know is going to happen.",4 "There's a lot of dramas on right now. Game of Thrones, Blacklist, Person of Interest, Breaking Bad. I've not seen all of these, but it is my entirely biased opinion that Hannibal is superior to any of its peers. Hannibal sees Hugh Dancy's FBI consultant Will Graham and his incredibly complex relationship with Mads Mikkelson's exotic Hannibal, as initially 'patient and psychiatrist' before developing into an astounding game of cat and mouse. Based on the books and movies, there are many homages to those previous material, but generally most of them should be forgotten in terms of relevance to this. Hannibal stands alone and is all the better for it. As those familiar with the franchise will know, Hannibal's intellect is intimidating, with an uncanny knack of penetrating the epidermis of everyone around him, and Mikkelson absolutely nails the psychological nature of such borderline non-lingual-persuasions. Hannibal programs and controls those around him in a vast maze while they scoot around like mice as he watches on, adding obstacles and variables to make it more interesting. Graham is the victim, yet Hannibal's actions upon him aren't deliberately to make him suffer, but due to how much of himself he sees in the FBI's lead profiler. They are genuinely friends, yet the worst of enemies at the same time. A word has to go also to the quality of the show. From the writing, to the acting, to the absolutely exquisite direction and editing, Hannibal is a pretty perfect show, which, admittedly, due to the gruesome nature of a great deal of the content, is not for the faint-hearted. Hannibal, is, of course, a cannibal, but it's delivered in such an eloquent way as to give his behaviour purpose, meaning and even beauty. He respects every living thing he kills, and loves them, considering consuming them the highest honour to their life. And that theme of beauty and death is the perfect summary of the show - two opposite, irreconcilable concepts blended wonderfully together to create a masterpiece of a production. I won't spoil much more of the plot, hence this review has focused more on the show's structure than its actual content, but it's safe to say Hannibal is untouchable as far as current drama goes. Beyond highly recommended.",10 "You've heard the old rule that sequels are never better than the original - but rules are made to be broken. This is superior to Spider-Man in so many ways. The story is more involving, with several different threads interweaving to keep the viewer interested. Tobey Maguire has settled into his role as Peter Parker and, in many scenes, conveys his emotional turmoil without the need for words. Doc Ock is an infinitely more interesting villain than the Green Goblin, and as a result, the action scenes are much more highly-charged. In fact, with less reliance on action to keep the film moving, and better special effects when these scenes do appear, this is the most fun I've had in a cinema all year.",9 "Okay, not quite art-house/indie style, like much of what seems to be a hit nowadays, but still deadly slow and with an ending that's a complete let down. (No spoiler needed - you'll know it long before it comes). Special effects that could have been amazing. A plot that let's you imagine all kinds of twists, turns, betrayals, conspiracies, and more... but then takes the obvious route. This movie's saving grace (which for me meant a 5 instead of 2 or 3 like most of the art-house/indie blur): Sarah Snook. Never heard of her and I don't think I've seen her before - but powerful, flexible acting, and a character that was likable enough to convince me to watch it till the end. If you like slow, nothing-happens art-house, this is that with a little extra. But for most of us, wasted TIME.",5 "This is ok. Just ok. Like most Netflix big budget releases this isn't that great. Star studded slick entertainment but altogether forgettable. I think Daniel Craig is great, but his accent in this is very very distracting. At times he literally sounds like Foghorn Leghorn. Like Don't Look Up and the Adam Project this had potential but it's ultimately not a great flick. Can't understand all the hype and awards talk. This movie is loaded with the sort of passive racism and unconscious bias that Hollywood is known for. The only reason movies like this do well is bc so many people are already paying for Netflix. Another overpriced overhyped franchise. But it's watchable so a 7.",7 "While I commend Sam Raimi for his distinct directorial style and trying to make a visually appealing film (which yes it is at times, when it's not a CGI cluster mess), this movie is one of the numerous examples that Marvel film quality has been deteriorating rapidly. Nothing more than popcorn entertainment with a basic, shallow plot. Performances are nothing to rant over, both Elizabeth Olsen and Benedict Cumberbatch play their respective roles fine as expected. The storyline is forgettable and Multiverse of Madness is essentially one of the many throw-away superhero films in recent years from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.",3 A little bit ridiculous but it's deserve to watch It's tell you no winner in war just who lost much.,7 "It revolves around a gifted young girl and her group of friends that are fighting some sort of inter-dymentional mind-flayer. They are working to save each other and protect their town while trying to close up the portal. It is a strange show that is well writen. Season 1 is the best. The quality decreases per season.",9 "A spectacular, important and inspiring . . . flop, I'm afraid. I wanted to see this movie on the big screen - some movies require that to be given the chance to live up to what they're supposed to be. But this is no Patton and no Great Escape. I'm surprised it is rated as high as it is on this site. Not only myself, but another, older man whose opinion I respect, agreed that the sound track, dialogue, or NOISE was practically incomprehensible to the American ear. I honestly would have preferred SUBTITLES for this movie. Then I might have understood the dialogue. This is a problem with many movies in the past 20 years - music and sound effects drown out dialogue. Have you gone out socially lately? Ever notice how loud everything is? The zeitgeist lately is: when in doubt, crank up the volume. Of course, we know that we have become braying donkeys in response. I'm going to give this movie a second chance. I'll watch it at home where my sound system gives me three options for the sound. Perhaps the BluRay will also give me additional options. But the option I'm really looking for is subtitles! In English. I read English. Chevy South Hadley, MA",3 "Story is just below average..... Acting is just mediocre... Nothing special in direction..... and a very poor mystery plot.. above all, Jennifer A is screaming and annoying throughout the movie.... Not worth time and money..",1 "Lethargic and pretentious, coupled with bad acting. Lead actress recites her lines in such robotic a way that makes siri sound like a wild, drunken teenager. The pace is off, the music is off, the dialogue is lifeless. Cinematography is decent. Spare your valuable time. This isn't the next big sci-fi masterpiece.",5 "13 Reasons Why is one of my favourite books ever. But this isn't a book review. But the show I once had at a high rating for in the first season as the character development was unique, but Netflix got greedy and decided to turn this into their premiere teen-drama series. For starters I didn't agree with it as a fan of the book, but if the second season were to be the last I'd be all in for it if they wanted to wrap things up. This show straight up ruined the book as a whole. Not to mention how they used 13 episodes per season, but finished with ten in the final season. I think they could've found another show to do this with in a much better way. Now to the final part of this review. Netflix's biggest problem is Liberalism. They tend to overdo it at times to the point to where it's not necessary. I mean I one-hundred percent agree that we should have shows with or about transgender and gay lead characters, but they believe they need to add everything in every show. But they got way carried away within the second season with their most controversial scene, which I think all fans know what I'm talking about, though how I understood that scene was how it happens to guys too, but they did it in such a wrong way. It almost doesn't make any sense and is so unrealistic. My six stars are only dedicated to the first season alone. If you are going to watch this series right now, only watch the first season.",6 "If you want to watch this show solely, because you are an Addams family fan, don't! The eerie, tingling, dark, gothic and death embracing atmosphere is not present here. Neither is the very soul of previous series/movies and the authenticity of their characters. Tim Burton (with NETFLIX) has simply borrowed this cult while completely raping, defiling and butchering the very essence of its characters (especially Wednesday since she is the main one). If you however like Riverdale and/or harry potter and Hogwarts, this show might be an enjoyable experience for you. That is actually the only reason why I was able to finish this show. You can think of it as a sort of mixture of these two shows. The characters are unfortunately extremely off. So don't expect that empty, unemotional, deadlike Wednesday. Our new Wednesday is constantly rude, arrogant, cringey, mean and extremely pretentious. She is in fact trying to be Wednesday so much(with all that pretentious and forced wannabe goth quotes), that she has missed it and become something very distant from her. Instead of being empty like a walking dead corpse she is strongly angst-driven and always angry. Her self-assurance combined with arrogance and an ""I know everything and I know it much better than you"" passive-aggressive kind of vibe, she can get on my nerves quite easily. Prepare yourself for over the top pseudo goth quotes coming in each episode such as ""I don't bury hatchets, I sharpen them"" in every other dialogue. This makes this show nearly unwatchable and I cannot believe that she is indeed, the way she is trying to present herself. The real Wednesday would not have to prove herself what she is, or hide her insecurities behind false superiority of her ego, audacity and meanness. The real Wednesday has neither emotions nor vulnerabilities/insecurities but real confidence. When she smiles, it's an empty gesture without a real emotion behind it. The new Wednesday is just a regular goth teenager with emotions and ALL the ""typical teenager stuff"" (I won't elaborate further so that I won't spoil too much). Wednesday is constantly trying to prove herself that she is soooo different and soooo strong. One independent girlboss who is so smart and superior, that the others are just a burden dragging her down. Here we are arriving at perhaps the biggest ""butchery"" of the show's director/Netflix. The new Wednesday is portrayed as an ultimate object of desire as opposed to the object of repulsion and disgrace of society. This is precisely what made the Addams family so funny and interesting to watch. They were rejected because of their peculiarity and were frowned upon with fear and a certain protective distance. That is however different in this show. The new Wednesday is the object of desire of everyone, admired, attractive and accepted from the first moment. They have created a certain safe space of weirdos, making humor very sterile and hyper politically correct. No further repulsion from society is possible in this setting (or even beyond their safe space). This is however what made previous movies so funny, the interaction between normal people and these weird sadistic monsters. And the significant distance between these two parties. Apart from that, severe plot holes are omnipresent and the plot is two-dimensional at best. Many things are unfortunately poorly thought through, reminding me of cartoons in my childhood for their predictability and imperfections. The makeup artist has not even bothered to make Wednesday look like a dead corpse after a couple of episodes, leaving her tanned skin to look natural. Neither they did bother with shaving Uncle Fester's eyebrow to give him his typical look. The same goes for Wednesday, not to mention that they have picked a rather cute, eye-pleasing Latina (Jenna Ortega) instead of some half-dead-looking monster. Her parents are unconvincing and as off as her in all aspects. The most convincing characters are probably Thing and Uncle Fester. This show is no more than just another soulless serial in the profit-driven machinery of Netflix abusing a well-known name of previous shows and movies, for a quick boost in easily earned fame. The only thing that is done properly here, is the environment and the camera. For this, I cannot rate Wednesday with anything above 6/10 at best. I did not expect much but you somehow made me feel disappointed.",1 """Boring"" and ""who cares"" about sums up my feelings of this movie. Boring-I slept through some of it and I was awakened by the buzz of audience chatter through out the movie. Everyone talks about it being derivative-Really- let me count the ways- Terminator II which I liked a lot- These guys must have seen Disney movies a hundred times each i.e. Alice, Cinderella, sleeping beauty, plus a lot of Roadrunner cartoons- and a lot of people are mentioning a Gap commercial! give me a break-please- Bombarding the senses does not make a great movie. Who cares-There was no characters I cared about or even knew anything about- no plot-no story-no nothing- an extremely clever cartoon-only- that's all folks.",3 "All was fine in the premise: Eastern European fantasy, I have not red the books but I know it's a commonly praised series. I have only played the 3rd game, and the stories, characters, ambient and lore was really really immersive. The ratings were over the roof, the critics didn't like it, but the people did, that always a good sign, so I sat down to watch it with great expectations. It was a mistake. It's tragic. Like really. The writers should be fired on spot, the director and casting manager as well, hell, it doesn't even look good. I was expecting the next GOT and got something made for a school project. It's unbelievable. I'm halfway through and I find it really hard to move on, I'll only do it 'cos many say the ending is better. There are several lessons to learn here. 1: if a well known and praised writer does a story well, don't try to make a better version. If you can't show it as it is, leave it be. 2: only buy the licence for a franchise if you have the people in your ranks who knows it and can handle it well. 3: nobody cares for modern political agendas in a frickin medieval fantasy show. Stop it. Just stop it ffs. 4: given this show has a 8+ rating, it seems the average expectations of the masses are in all time low. I have no other explanation for this.",3 The fantastic thing about the Harry Potter series is that not ONE of the movies was a flop. Until now. Very disappointing movie with no real plot and a lot of plot holes.,1 "The film's story was excellent and the characters the director tried to convey were great, but he didn't deserve a Best Picture award. Acting in the movie was good especially for the rich wife. The angle and camera were excellent and the director in the film was excellent. In conclusion the film was accepted",6 It's JUST alright. The high reviews of this movie show what's wrong with the world. And its ears.,2 "One of the best sci-fi series available on Netflix Everything is balanced-comedy, fantasy, horror, drama. Characters connects us, Superb acting by the kids, Especially @millie bobby brown(Eleven). It is well directed, & VFX work is Awesome. I felt it could have reduced to 6 or 7 episodes in all 3 seasons. My rating for this is (S1- 9/10) (S2- 8/10) (S3- 7/10)",8 As another review says-shiny and colourful. But the script is a waste of talent. Typical Marvel over the top and don't look too closely action. I actually felt sympathetic to the giant octopus. But really really boring. Come on Marvel. We want character driven stories.,4 This whole movie is just ridiculous and corny. Why were these made without Spider-Man?,4 "This show gives no substance. All shock value. The writing and acting is terrible. Couldn't even make it through one episode. However, I unfortunately had to find out that it shows a girl literally slitting her wrists and dying. It shows a man getting raped bloody with a mop. It consistently shows other forms of rape and sexual assault. Why do the creators keep defending this as the only way to show ""real world scenarios""? We have seen suicide in other movies and shows. Why do we need to SEE the razor blade sliding into her forearm? This show is confusing ""advocating for the prevention of bullying and suicide"" with ""shock value for publicity and national attention"". This show claims to think that this is how you teach people about issues when all it's doing is disgusting people with unnecessary graphic images, triggering people who have had to experience things like this, possibly even worse, and banking off of showing the ""real experiences"" of life because they know it will get attention. This show is disgraceful and the fact that Netflix hasn't pulled it is astounding.",1 "I was expecting it to be overrated, and it was. Every bit of the film was so clichéd that it was very un-special for me, and seemed to drag on for a very long time. I didn't like the fact that everything was too perfect, because it made it hard to relate to any of the characters. They were broke, relatable ""dreamers"" with designer clothes, expensive cars, and no flaws. The characters were very underdeveloped, and there did not seem to be any chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. The music was really boring and simple, and every song was forgettable- except for City of Stars because they played it every five minutes. The script felt like it was written in a week. The director seemed to play it safe with every aspect, and relied more on visually pleasing cinematography to tell the tale instead of gripping acting and a well written story. If you want a real love story, watch Titanic.",5 "This has to be the very WORST type of movie .. ridiculous slapstick .. It's full of actors playing real dumb idiots .. but the idiots they are portraying are actually like the typical real American .. and yes I know a lot of Americans. It was so bad I actually stayed watching it to try to see where the good ratings came from ,, reaching the end without a clue. The only possibility is that the only people rating this film were all Americans.",1 Had some good moments but the plot was a letdown. The villain and her problems with the GRC weren't convincing enough. It also felt like they tried too hard to push current events and politics into the storyline. Disappointing.,5 "HBO typically puts out good stuff, and here they certainly didn't disappoint. I binged through all 5 episodes in a row as I just couldn't stop watching. I've known about Chernobyl from a physics & nuclear point of view for years, and while this series does get into those details, it mainly focuses on the aftermath, the political and humanizing aspects, along with all the selfless sacrifice which I really wasn't aware of, and in that regard it is really a difficult watch. My only real gripe was the putting of the animals down. Call me shallow but I had a hard time watching that and ended up fast forwarding through that segment. I guess I can understand why they did that and it was also to show the perspective of the young boy forced to participate but I really couldn't bear to watch it and would have preferred it never been put into the story and IMHO didn't really add anything to the story. Overall I thought it was really well done. The acting was top notch, the story and flow was great and a real eye opener. It's very well done but is a harsh thing to sit through and stomach. Meaning for those who like watching uplifting or ""feel good"" movies / series, this isn't for you. I give it a 9/10.",9 "It is a film lacking a well-thought-out plot, scenes and characters to spare. I give it a 3 just for the work that must have cost to do it. The length is excessive, considering that the plot is extremely basic, messy, with no reason to sustain for 3 hours. Overrated by the effort involved in special effects that deliver an easy, overloaded beauty. It is not even entertaining in a basic way so that it qualifies as a panorama to go to the cinema to see it In short, a film full of repeated and long scenes, unnecessary dialogues and characters. Full of ""fireworks"" that could justify that there is a massive audience that enjoys it.",3 "Good film but lacked depth. Sad performance from the Joker who never really lived to be the psycho the character deserved. Lack of blood and gore made this a family movie which a attempted dark tinge. The jokers character never really developed well enough, this was my primary disappointment, and seemed to just disappear in the end without a fight. Awful end scene in which a sonar device is developed that can track cellphone owners. Possibly the worst special effects/makeup was that of two-face, he looked like some sort of robot from the terminator movies and never really seemed a threat. Just a bit desperate. Sad sad sad sequel that promised so much. On a positive Batman was played well as was the butler",4 "Marvel has spoiled us fans in the past. But this series is just not as good. Its not because of politics or of political correctness or of racial mentions; its because of the PLOT. Which kinda sucks. Inconsistent and at many times just pointless, the plot seems uninspired and forced, in order to make this series' story move forward. Here's a few: What exactly was Carly's main motivation? What makes the GRC so bad for Carly? Why don't they work more on the idea of the shield as a mantle? That could have been a great opportunity here. Why get into the power broker story arc in the first place and not further develop it? And why spend so much time in the political issues? Is that because the script is just non-existant? Maybe... The dialogue at times is also incredibly stupid...which makes me wonder about the way marvel/disney approach their audience nowadays. Wandavision was not perfect but it was smart and well made with good dialogue and world building. But this one is more closer to a messy, character-lacking and backstory-missing series. Now why 6,5? 1-The action sequences are good and the start is impressive. Also there is a few more action sequences further on which are worth it. 2-Stan and Mackie are good action actors and look alright on screen, so its fun watching them and their chemistry is ok. 3-because i m a fan like most people here and i still like watching these stories and I appreciate the effort needed to get these done. I would just like this one to be better... 6,5/10 for the action.",6 "Not a genuine film, although has many twists and turns, with a lot of thrilling spots. Unfortunately, has many ""comedy"" scenes which make us angry, and questions the credibility of the film.. This is not a good film, in spirit.. A murder suspect by the name similar to real life accused Ramkumar, is shown to have committed suicide in custody and died. This is later shown to be the false killer, thereby lending support to rumors that Ramkumar was not the real Nungambakkam murderer. Decide if you want to support this or not. The Asok character has a flashback which makes one cringe.. Even in high school, one cannot narrate this ""stone in manga tree and thief"" story and get away without getting trolled. Some details they keep saying are not realistic and just falls into the ""convenient for story's sake"" trope.. This movie is not only low in budget, but in morals too.. The vilification of minorities and charities is done in a very open manner without repercussions.",5 "First and one of the only films where I can recognise myself in. It's a short film, and it has flaws, but I love it nonetheless. Did you know that yellow represent Po, and red represent Shen? It's the same for the other 2 movies, Tai Lung is blue, and Kai is green.",10 "As a horror fan and a fan of this franchise, i found this movie scary with some jumpscares that really got me. As the doll is famous for its evil activites, the movie starts very well with some scary stuff at the beginning but it lets the franchise down with the ending that wasnt good as it was in earlier movies but considering the situation in which it happened , the ending can be accepted but if you are looking for that conjuring type ending that was in both parts then you wont find it here",7 "From positive things I read about Godfather 2, some people saying it outdoes the original, I finally got around to watching it, this being the longest one, where 1 and 3 have the exact same running time, which would be annoying to some watchers of the third, disappointing instalment. Too here I got to see Deniro, in his award winning performance, every bit brilliant of his truly deserved Oscar. Now really into being an organizer, Michael Corleone has expanded his business into other countries. He too, in still in that falling out with his brother, Fredo (the likable late Cazale) refusing to forgive and forget. Good news, Michael later does, to a fitting tune. What I can say about the Godfather 2, it didn't disappointment me, one iota. I enjoyed it more than I truly thought I would. In some ways it's better than the original, but on the whole it isn't. It's equal. A truly good sequel, but more that that, it's a finely made film, engrossing, with no faults of any kind. I think viewers who haven't seen this, will be quite surprised, while also you have another opportunity to watch two acting greats, truly deliver.",10 "This is one of those movies that makes you think about it for hours after you have seen it(whether the first or the fifth time). The reason being that it is funny, witty and enthralling while still maintaining the charisma of a great Korean romantic movie. You will undoubtedly hate Ji-Hyun Jun for the better half of the film but by the end, she will be one of the most enchanting woman you ever saw (Besides Audrey Hepburn off-course). Tae-Hyun Cha plays the role of a difident sort nice guy but with good acting and sound expressions. Overall, I would give this a 10/10. Don't forget to read the book though, its a lot funnier and accurate. Thank you",8 "Panchayat is the pure example of making something so simple yet effective at the same time. It's an 8 episodes series where each ep. contains various phases of Abhishek (Jitendra Kumar), as he joins as secretary of Panchayat in the small village of UP. The Simplicity and The Supporting cast are the most Amazing parts; Everyone has their own identity and input for the series. Humorous dialogues, Realistic nature, Beautiful & On Point Execution with Impressive performances of all actors do make this binge-worthy. TVF and Jeetu Bhaiya did it again with this light-hearted Comedy Drama named Panchayat! Highly recommended! ❤",9 "Loki is a great series, with a great finale. Unpredictable yet satisfying all the time. Worth watching 100%. I can only imagine what impact this is going to have on the further MCU, but it must be big. I honestly can't wait until the next season and see more growth and interaction between the main characters, they can take it ANYWHERE from here, which is thrilling!",9 "There's now 4 episodes put and Owen Wilson has yet to say ""wow""",8 "Bad story, good acting. Storyline wasn't good. I expected much more. The whole imam's thing was so dumb. Hope to see better movies from Netflix in the future.",2 "It surprises me how critics have a taste for movies that may be artistic but are just awful or average experiences at best to watch. If you're a film critic you might like this movie for the reasons that all the other film critics do. If you're an average moviegoer who wants a movie with characters to relate to and a story to inspire and remember you would be disappointed. The first half of the movie is way too long in setting up the premise, you don't realize what the movie turns out to be until the second half making me feel like the first half consisted of too many irrelevant details and was way too long. By the time the movie picks up pace you're already tired. I found myself skipping every thirty seconds towards the end. Secondly, a great movie should leave you with a positive feeling, either a feeling of hope or inspiration or if neither of those are possible atleast the satisfaction of having had a good laugh. This movie does none of that, it leaves you with a feeling of despair and hopelessness. Sadly that is what passes for art these days. There were some good parts about the movie, such as the acting was top-notch especially from the sister. Cinematography was good too but the movie was just not deserving enough to be the best picture of the year. If it wasn't so highly rated I would've given it a 6/10 but giving it a 4 to bring the rating down to what it should get.",4 After Batemans departure this series have no credible leadings role. However the first two episodes are very good and the potential is huge. The rest of the episodes are like a monster of the week x file nostalgia trip - except there is no moulder and scully present.,3 "I grew up with this show, and as a child it captivated me. As an adult it still captivates me with its nuance, its message, how it tackles political topics and spirituality. The characters in this are incredibly, and they all go on a journey of growth that is beautiful. The effort that went into the world-building and how the bending is based on different styles of martial arts really grounds the story. I love how it tackles topics such as equailty, genocide, imperalism, redemption, friendship, found family, forgivness and love. It's a show I'm glad to have grown up with. Excellent storytelling.",10 "Decided watch this movie because Ryan Reynolds and Dave France, like most other people. Was pretty skeptical when I found out Michael Bay was the director and my suspicions were definitely confirmed. The movie basically has no story and will confuse you while throwing random explosions and action scenes everywhere.",4 "The first Iron Man film was a pleasant surprise. The second instalment therefore carried higher expectations. Although not a disaster the second film doesn't quite live up to the first film. The story revolves around the government wanting to have the technology of the Iron Man from Tony Stark. Stark is holding onto the information and says nobody will be able to mimic this for many years. There's no surprises to find that this doesn't turn out to be true. Downey Jr is again pretty entertaining as Stark and Mickey Rourke is also pretty good as Ivan Vanko. It sounds like Johansson and Paltrow didn't get on that well, but there's not too much evidence of that on screen which is slightly disappointing.",3 "This is a really cool and different show starring characters I'm already invested in. I had a great time for the most part. It's filled with intrigue that mostly pays off. I was debating between a 7 and 8. I went with a 7 because the first 3 episodes didn't hook me as much as they should have, and because of one major disappointment with a subplot involving an outside character that I can't make any logical sense of. But at many points I was absolutely loving the mystery and intrigue. (3 viewings, 3/5/2021, 4/28/2022, 11/8/2023)",7 The movie does not feel like a DC or Marvel superhero movies. It feels like a kiddie Power Rangers kind of movie.,6 "Well, I asked my wife to watch this movie together as it gets nominated in 2019 Oscars. After first 20 minutes, she just paused the media player, turned towards me and asked, ""Have you seen Aashiqui 2, a Indian musical drama movie released in 2013?"" I didn't watch that so I said no. She told me the starting 20 minutes she watched is almost similar to the Indian movie. Then we start to watch it again. After an hour it starts to torture us with horrible acting of Bradley Cooper and his voice. Lady Gaga not an actress mate! Please concentrate on your voice, its for music not for drama. Okay, then after 1.5 hours my wife told me the ending of the Indian film. She bets that 'A star is born' is fully copied from 'Aashiqui 2'. It was hard to believe, but at the end of the movie I see that the ending is just like my wife said before. I guess Hollywood has reached a critical point where they are unable to find good scripts! That's why this type of old remakes are still in the box office and alas! people are buying that too. Such a waste of time! Last but not the least, why the hell Cooper is so indulged in drugs? It is neither answered in the movie nor Lady Gaga tried to find out. Such a poor plot.",4 "The Mission Impossible movies have been renowned for their thrilling and original action set pieces, so how does this one stack up against the others? Fallout delivers some fun moment but ultimately nothing I haven't seen before, a franchise that has hung tom cruise out of planes and had him spider up walls is now only concerned with regular foot chases and car chases. As said before, the action entertains in the moment but if I were to go back to any Mission Impossible movie I know it wouldn't be this one, as not only is the action less inspired but the story is too, with out of nowhere character moments, and a cliché diffuse the bomb story, and a predictable secret agent betrayal, the story had me snoozing and just checking my watch hoping it would end soon. The actors are passable, although it seems they're not giving it their all like they have before, Henry Cavill and Simon Pegg give particularly questionable performances. Combine that with bog standard cliché dialogue that had me rolling my eyes at times, and comedy that really didn't land (we're seriously still doing the ""character doesn't notice something going on outside the window"" gag?), and I feel the movie really isn't worth sitting through for the action sequences (which were well shot might I add) and score. Tom Cruise is still a legend for everything he puts on the line to make his action scenes believable, but he deserves better material to work with.",5 "Let's be brutally honest here. The film is extremely slow paced with next to no storyline making it dreary and boring. I know it's one of the great films for it's time and its not that it was acted poorly, but instead the message being portrayed in the movie was very depressing. The main message in the film is seeing the mental state of a cab driver, while we watch him live his daily life and how those condition can make a man go to the extremes. He's depressed... He has a crappy job... His social skills are terrible... I understand setting a scene and a mood for a character, but the entire film was about setting the scene and the mood. It was only at the very end that the movie picked up when the character finally came to the end of himself and made a decision to do something about it. Perhaps the deep meaning of the film is powerful and well portrayed, but its depressing to watch. The one thing that did catch my attention in the movie was Robert De Niro. He's so young in this movie and he acts a little different than his usual roles, it was nice seeing a different side of his acting and as always he never disappoints. I wish there would have been more scenes with Jodie Foster, as this was the movie that helped bring her into the publics eye with her talented acting at such a young age. I was surprised how little of a role she had in the film as they brought her in during the end of the movie, but she definitely doesn't disappoint with her acting skills.",4 I had high hopes for this movie. I left with high hopes I'd see something worth watching later in the week.,3 "Top notch hilarious screenplay, relatable characters, layered story, and a gorgeous tropical backdrop. Once every 4-5 years Hollywood makes a comedy that is thouroughly enjoyable upon the first viewing and actually becomes more enjoyable with every viewing. Rather than giving an overview of the plot as I'm sure there are many other reviews for that, I'll discuss why I believe Forgetting Sarah Marshall deserves to be considered a classic Hollywood comedy. The first strength of FSM is in the character depth, complexity, and rawness. Jason Segel Portrays a deeply depressed and conflicted man who believes his recent break up (he was dumped) is the reason for his depression, but as the movie progresses, it becomes clear he was already unhappy in the relationship. As fate would have it the ex lovers end up at the same vacation resort and the story unfolds from there. The movie is FULL of top notch comedic character actors playing in supporting roles. Highlights include Bill Hader, Paul Rudd, and my personal favorite Jack McBrayer. Kristin Bell is solid and Mila Kunis is glowing in her role as the beautiful new potential romantic partner. The casting of Russell Brand as the aloof Brit Rocker is simply stellar. The Hawaiin location adds amazing flavor and culture to the backdrop of the film, bringing in some great locals to tie the scenery and story together. As the film progresses, every actor gets a chance to shine. There are a countless number of classic one liners in the film. A raw and hilarious beginning, tons of hilarious situations, and a satisfying ending make for a classic comedy worth watching again and again.",10 This was the worst movie from the whole series. I'm disappointed.,4 "Keanu Reeves. What the hell are you doing, continuing to act. GO AWAY, YOU HAVE NO TALENT. The Matrix has got to be one of the worst film of today. Why do we need all these special effects, it's just not needed. If somebody gets shot at, you don't need to see anything in slow motion. Or if they are about to jump across a large gap, do i need the action to stop just so i can study their long jump technique, i don't think so. Answering the phone to transport themselves to another place. OH PLEASE. I know i am in the minority but one day this film WILL be forgoten about because basically it's toss. Keanu - retire now and go and haunt someone else for a change.",2 "The show got off to a great start. The first episode was intriguing and well paced. The rest of the show seems to linger off those first impressions. The ideas of characters were great, but the character development got left behind in the little ado about someone's death. There is just way too much going on. All the time. You have all these great character ideas but none of them seem to want to work together from a pragmatic approach or from an attitude approach. The circumstances of the stakes do not match these characters behaviors; the world is going to end, dad has mysteriously died, there's a super smart monkey, somehow a bunch of women birthed children in 1 day, and that's only a few of the kids. And I get where the show is going with these things, but I'm not seeing a great care for the universe that created them: the soup with the most ingredients doesn't make it taste the best. Conclusively, it's the same reason I couldn't get behind the marvel shows- the production is too broad. I get the feeling of large network applied techniques in the presentation. It FEELS like I'm watching an ABC show. With large network shows they do kind of what this show is doing: throwing a bunch of hooks in the water to see which bait will be most popular. Will it be the smart monkey? The teleporting smart ass kid? The fight club druggie? The sensual and musical layman? The knife guy? The...other one? The other other one? Or Mr. Hyde the astronaut? I just wish they didn't get so overwhelmed with ideas and feelings that they could have the guts to make the show it deserved to be.",5 "I wish there were shows like this one on Indian television. This show raises Indian series standard massively. I don't know how TVF managed to make such creatively written and well edited show while huge Indian entertainment companies are still stuck with family dramas. This show restores faith of youth in Indian entertainment industry. I love pitchers more than silicon valley because being an Indian I find it more relatable. If TVF had television channel, I am sure they will become HBO of India. Writing - 10/10 Direction - 10/10 Editing - 10/10 Casting - 10/10 Acting - 10/10 Dialogues - 11/10 Now i am desperately waiting for 2nd season. Hope you are listening TVF and won't make us wait very long.",10 "A timeless classic. Full marks to the director and the cast. Hrithik is perfection personified as usual. This would be Ash's best performance till date as she does not giggle needlessly or overact at any point. The supporting cast has done a great job too - especially Punam Sinha and Nikitin. A slight regret is that Sonu Sood should have had a stronger personality for his background, but it is does not impact the movie in any way. The music is endearing. It will catch up on you as you listen to it a couple of times. Avoid watching pirated online versions and go watch it in a theater. A pirated version simply cannot capture the grandeur of this movie.",10 "I really liked the first season because the narrative by Hannah was so appealing and all the secrets and story behind each character were so interesting! I was kind of worried of season2, but it was better than i had expected. HOWEVER, season 3 is just awful!!!! Omg. I just don't get why just a new character just pops up from the beginning and becomes the main role who I have never felt attached. I just turned off Netflix in the middle of the episode 3. This season ruins the whole series.",3 "Season 2 (4 out of 5 stars.) The Boys 2 continues with a little wild, crazy, and bloody adventure with the characters as they try to stop the supes from taking over. The first half was a little slow moving and boring. It picks up with Stormfronts agenda being revealed. It is a lot of fun. Great cast. Bloody and violent. The climax has some surprises and exciting moments. While leaving more room for another season.",8 "If you want to film a comedy about something traumatic as II World War was you need a very bold and smart screenplay. None of these you have in Jojo Rabbit, if you take a movie as Life is beautiful, where you have everything. BTW, main actor kid is adorable.",5 "This is clearly the most passionate Spielberg has been about a film since Schindler's List. This film is essentially his origin story. The story of how one of the greatest and most influential directors came to fruition. His style is ever present, and visually, this is one of his best films. The acting from everybody was fantastic. The lead whom I am not familiar with, and of course Michelle Williams and Paul Dano. They were great. My main issue with the film is that it is very melodramatic. It's cheesy. And I'm quite aware that most of Spielberg's films are like that. But in the case of this film, it was a bit hard to take seriously. Overall, The Fabelmans is a perfect thanksgiving film, and it's very inspiring.",8 "Being a fan on the Marvel Universe I was looking forward to this series. After watching two episodes I cannot express the level of my disappointment. It is presented as a 1950's style Sitcom in black and white. Why? I really like Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany but I cannot stomach this abysmal mistake. Edited: While the first three or four episodes were difficult to watch the subsequent episodes and the explanation for the earliest episodes. It became one of the most imaginative series I have had the pleasure to watch. I recommend this one highly.",9 "Wow... Went to see this yesterday and laughed for 2 hours! A movie that doesn't dumb you down and yes, the humor is crude and the visuals aren't child appropriate, but it doesn't go out of its way to be funny. Every character in the movie is a CHARACTER, in other words, each have their own way to say ""look at me""...and if you are reading this, you will understand if you watch the movie. I really am reluctant to go to comedies, but this is in line with his other movies...this guy is definitely on a roll...enjoy your 2 hours!! Excellent job all around, 7 dollars well spent.",9 The film was very disjointed and did not seem to know what its own central story really was. Was it revisionist history again or was it a film about movie making. The Bruce Lee scene was an insult and had no place in the film. The characters of Pitt and DeCaprio were too much of a caricature. It was somewhat entertaining but definitely no best picture and Tarantino's getting a nomination for a badly written script is absurd.,6 "You should watch this movie only for the action it offers. Other than that, this movie has nothing. Plot is not that great, Drama is super dull. There are some scenes which are just absolutely cliche and predictable. Will not get to feeling that you watched something new. Some cliche script and action revolving around it. If you like to watch CH do some action scenes, you would like it.",4 "An original take on the superhero genre with a beautifully hostile, unpredictable environment created by ego-driven temper-tantrums of a super-powered man baby. All backed by a well-oiled PR machine presenting him and his team as world saving superheroes to be adored and worshipped by the populace. This is well done, packaged together with a deeply dark comedic approach, as The Boys, a group of normies, try to thwart the powered villains and the corporation that backs them. The story is beautifully character driven with each of the main characters fully fleshed out with world-impacting strengths and weaknesses. Despite numerous plot holes, the one thing that holds fast is the adherence to characterisation and inner motivations driving all actions for better or worse.. Following a fabulous season two, an eagerly awaited season three is about to drop. The follow over from two is excellent and sets up numerous mouth watering possibilities.",9 "I'll admit, it was hard to get into this back in 2019, but when I watched the second season in 2021 I realized how good it is. This is genuinely one of the few shows that got better the second season and had a very fitting ending.",8 "This film should almost be titled ""Two-Face"", because it tries to be two different movies, and fails at both; one that presents itself as grim, depressing and adult, the other one aimed at 14 year-olds. The result felt like watching ""Portrait of a Serial Killer"" aimed at kids. Watching this big, expensive, super-hyped movie was a strangely joyless, almost depressing experience. At the end, I was as worn out as if I had watched a documentary on spousal abuse, complete with raw footage of victims being beaten while we helplessly watch. The mob bosses are presented as idiots who can't stop one guy, and the cops, who start off being competent, become more and more incompetent throughout the movie until they start to resemble the cops from the Adam West Show. Moments of silliness do not transition well with scenes of police officers being brutally murdered by shotguns at point blank range. If you want audiences to enjoy the movie on a comicbook level, then don't show graphic scenes of people being murdered, threatened with mutilation and being pushed to their death. It's these two things together that make for an unpleasant viewing experience. The moralizing is extremely fatuous: ""you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"". Really? So Superman, Spiderman, et. al are due for villain status pretty soon. Firefighers and police officers if they live long enough will become criminals. Pronouncements like this in the movie sound slick, but don't hold up on examination. ""But it's only a comicbook movie"". That's the film's trouble. It tries to have its cake and eat it too. The three lead characters, Bruce Wayne, the Joker, and Harvey Dent are presented as the only competent people in the movie. Even Gordon is seen as ineffectually leading the incompetent police. Batman is the only character in the movie able to throw a punch to stop an armed gang, even in scenes of rooms crowded with men. Forcing the audience to watch long, protracted moments of the Joker holding a knife to a helpless victim's face as he threatens to mutilate her, shot in loving 360 degree panoramic closeup, is like being forced to watch a snuff film shot by Martin Scorsese. Worse, it forces the audience to participate in the victimization. The makers of the film call this being ""grown-up"". Since when is showing graphic sadism being ""grown-up""? They want it to be a ""grown-up comicbook"". Fine; then don't show the rest of the characters as being incompetent cartoon buffoons, and assume your audience is stupid; this constant shifting is playing fair with the audience. The Joker seemingly has an army of hundreds of highly organized commandos, but all of the unbelievable pyrotechnics are orchestrated by one person and a handful of schizophrenic patients. Even comicbooks have some kind of credible storyline and idea of what's physically possible, and this completely ignores them to the point of disregarding the audience's intelligence (and patience.) Finally, Heath Ledger's performance. Heath Ledger tries very hard in this role, and you can't blame him for lack of effort. He plays a twitchy, sadistic psychopath in clown makeup. But is it the Joker? Well, that depends on your view of the Joker. If your view is a twitchy, sadistic psychopath, then he has succeeded in presenting it. If it's someone who is fun to watch,with a deranged sense of humor that makes you laugh in spite of yourself, then it isn't. The Joker as presented here is as joyless as a serial killer who only feels when he tortures someone, and as irritating as a Bugs Bunny character that is drawn as one step of the good guys, defying physics and logic, so he can continually dangle victims out of windows and force the victims into making sadistic choices. Finally, this is the filmmakers' view of what this comicbook is. It isn't necessarily ours. To add to the irritation, there are long, long interludes where the Joker gives his personal commentary on life's meaninglessness, as he threatens and tortures his victims. These commentaries are presented as ""deep"" and ""heavy"", when they are in fact as meaningless, and without relevancy; comicbooks succeed better than this. Finally, we reach the end, which provides an irritation and insult to the audience all on its own: the movie actually makes the statement that the public can't handle the truth, that unless it is covered up, all the criminals will be freed and society as we know it will fall apart. Therefore, in order to continue and have hope, the public must continued to be deceived, and Batman must be martyred and chased by the hounds for the crimes he did not commit. Uh, what? Nice statement there: Bush's administration is correct after all (in fact, all institutions are correct), and we, the ignorant masses, can't handle the truth about one person, without losing all hope and reason. The idea that hundreds of criminals will be freed, and that crime will win, just because one district attorney became criminal, is ridiculous. The end actually sets Batman up to be a martyred Christ figure at the end. I found myself laughing at the end, much to the annoyance of my friend, at this ""poignant"" moment. This film took itself much too seriously, and its audience not seriously enough. At the end, the score is: Batman competent, everyone else helpless and stupid. That's the message of this film. I came to see a movie about a comicbook character, and instead was inflicted with a pompous, psychobabble morality play instead. It was not fun. And after all, isn't that what a comicbook should be?",5 "The writers of Charlies Angels and Prince of Persia get together with the director of Clash of the Titans. Had I looked that up before watching the movie I probably wouldn't have watched it at all. If you liked any of those movies though then this might be for you. It's decent visually and it's fast paced, but lacking in story and character development. It's like watching a two hour trailer. They introduce the characters as brief as they do in any action trailer nowadays. I like fast paced movies and camera shots, but only if they slow it down once in a while so that the characters have the time to interact with each others for more than a minute. I'm as disappointed in this movie as when I see a bowl of fruit only to realize it's plastic.",4 "I resisted watching this movie for so long because 1) most Netflix original movies suck and 2) why would I want to watch a movie where the actors' eyes are covered throughout? Well, to clarify one thing: I'd estimate that the actors only have blindfolds on for about 20% of the movie. The story intercuts between the downfall of humankind (the ""apocalyptic"" event) and the current storyline of Sandra Bullock trying to reach a safe haven for survivors. The story line kept me interested throughout. There were elements of the ending that felt implausible and convenient, but it wasn't so bad as to ruin the movie. Good drama-thriller.",7 "Tom Cruise cannot act, he could be replaced with an automaton to play his part. You will spend a couple of hours watching him show us what a hero he is, riding a motorcycle real fast, control a jet fighter that also goes very fast, smile a whole bunch, have women smile at him. The plot is immature with all the typical macho garbage you would expect from an American military movie with Tom Cruise in it. The movie reminded me of watching a video game, don't waste your time on this one. I watched it for an hour waiting for something interesting to happen but it was just too predictable to make it to the end.",2 What is going on with the bad reviews? MCU manage to put some comedy in an action series which i found genius! I personally loved the first 2 episodes. And the plot was so great i don't know why are you saying that it has a lack of plot. Are we watching a different series or what ?,9 "I enjoy the fact that the whodonit genre has finally gained traction again, these many years after clue. Watching this with family allowed for an enjoyable time, with little to complain about. Thinking, searching and calculating during the progression of the movie allowed even my old man, who typically falls asleep to even the most action filled movies, to follow the film actively and consistently. It's long buildup and rather late reveal seemed an improvement to the prior knives out movie, which rushed to a reveal. Finally, the underlying commentary to upper class society was done very nicely, even if the character stereotypes were a little on the nose.",9 "Any movie requires some sort of suspension of disbelieve. Bird Box is riddled with so many bad plot points (actions people would never do or things in places they would never be) that the film is just ruined. The concept is decent but the writer absolutely blew it on believably. It is hard to believe the writing went through any sort of editing process. Like, if someone writes in a book that there is a horse on the moon, you as an editor are supposed to point out that that could never happen since there is no air there. So you remove the horse or you write something plausible to explain how it is breathing. Now imagine about 50 mistakes of that level of absurdity in a movie. It was just too much to overcome. It was a tense movie, kept me nervous here and there, but would have liked some explanation for why the things that happened... happened. Bullock is a national treasure. She does well. Keeps you engaged in each scene. Most of the cast was actually pretty good, some interesting characters. The only reason why they got 3 stars instead of 1. but much like a burned piece of steak served with raw potatoes, if you misuse even the best ingredients, the meal is ruined. Also felt the movie employed to much ""gore for the sake of gore"" which is very distasteful. I found it disgusting.",3 "I finally gave up watching this during episode five. I just don't care about any of the characters or anything that is happening. House of the Dragon feels like the modern equivalent of the Phantom Menace. I haven't read the book(s?) its based on so maybe there's all sorts of great things that are going to happen at some point but, judging by what I've seen so far, no amount of great storylines are going to save this TV show from whoever is responsible for the complete mess I've seen so far. I've read that it gets even worse in episode six but I don't have the patience to get that far. Waste of a good cast too.",2 "The Godfather: Part II is my favorite movie, in addition to being, in my opinion, the greatest movie ever, even a bit better than The first Godfather. Every single imaginable element of a film is displayed at its absolute finest. Perhaps my very favorite thing about this movie is the incredible, incredible performance by Al Pacino. Marlon Brando was excellent, but unlike Brando's, Al Pacino's character was far more complicated. He couldn't just say, ""I am going to make him an offer he can't refuse"" in a slick Italian voice and accomplish the role. He so masterfully and ingeniously displayed the coldness of his character. He can say so much without opening his mouth. His stare, his movement, his subtly, everything is just incredible. The supporting cast is very good as well, perhaps the worst performance being that of Talia Shire, who is still alright. The two storyline thing is fine. It worked, and it worked well. We get enough of the early life of Vito Corleone story to know how it eventually gave rise to the plot of the first Godfather. In the end everything seems to make since. The Godfather: Part II is an epic masterpiece. 10/10, minor flaws.",10 "The characters are engaging and plausible, but haven't had a chance to develop yet, obviously. I'm looking forward to the next episode, and it does feel good to be back in Westeros. As for all the reviews complaining about ""Woke"" culture - really they're complaining about Black people in Westeros. C'mon.... If you can believe in dragons, surely you can believe in varying skin color? I sometimes think these whiners have no imaginations at all.",8 "I expected so much more from this but it was rather dull and boring. As a plus, the cinematography and flying scenes were good. However, there was a total lack of back story, and character development. I was hoping for an introduction, the British and German Command centres, the rousing call for public help, empathy with lead characters. There was almost no dialogue, so no story, and there was no great ending Hacksaw Ridge, Saving Private Ryan etc much better.",4 "I've had big expectations about this show, because I thought that is going to be exactly that kind of show, in which the good guys (the superheroes) fight the bad guys (the villains) and of course, they win. I couldn't have been more wrong, especially because ""The Boys"" it's not about a desperate attempt of superheroes to save the world from evil, instead this show takes a much more realistic approach, about what is going to happen if superheroes had really existed. I'm saying that I had big expectations in the beginning, because I thought that it would be the same usual show with superheroes and villain, that is most likely to find everywhere. In the first couple of episodes I've been a little bit disappointed, or rather shocked, because like I've already said, ""The Boys"" describes what the MCU never did. Of course, the movies and shows from Marvel are destined to other public's category, but this show is tough. It has all you could not expect from a TV series with superheroes. It has violence, gore, nudity, astonishing CGI effects and a very unpredictable and solid storyline. In the end it seems that this one delivered what I didn't expect it to and I am pleased with that. The show is definitely worth watching.",9 One of my all time favourite movies.I became big fan of kangana ranaut. All the best ahead in cinema.,9 "Henry Cavill showed us that he can be the ""Geralt Of Rivia"". He embrace the role. And the fight scenes was very good. The story telling was perfect. I loved everyting about this show.I recommend to everyone.",9 I think this show would have benefited if it was 40min. I like it b/c I already know the greater impact it will have on the MCU and I am just along for the ride. yes the acting is over the top and corny. but that's what make it great it show the range of the actors and lets them have a little fun.,8 "This movie accomplishes what very few sequels ever do, it rivals its predecessor in quality. This film doesn't hit a wrong note at any point. All performances are excellent and there isn't any problem switching back and forth between the early 1900's and the mid 1900's. It flowed so well. I can't argue with the top 3 rating given by IMDb users.",10 "I totally expect a typical super hero blockbuster, what i found later was impressive, Captain America is an ideal of America's society. He has all the virtues a good American is supposed to have, and that is what it makes him so amazing, he is like America's point of view of Nietzche's Uberschman, And i find his shield being the purity of the ideals of America. And the only thing that is a formidable opponent for this captain America is a Nazi-Soviet conspiracy with super evil Soviet super strong bad guy that represents America's virtues but corrupted. Yeah, captain America the winter soldier is all that, packed in a super fun action filled with super characters movies. Excellent movie",9 "The movie looks good when it begins and you have expectations it being a Knives out sequel but believe me don't waste your time on this one. You should only watch this if you are a die hard fan of feminism and women empowerment movements. The ending is the worst part. It was supposed to be a movie where a mystery would be solved by a detective that happens but it amounts to nothing. Suddenly at the end it becomes a woman empowerment and feminism supporting movie. The villain is destroyed not by the detective's skill but by a common woman showing girl power. It seems like the makers were confused about how to start and end the movie and about genre of the film.",1 "The first 20 or so minutes of the movie weren't the best and it felt like it was going to be one of those typical murder mystery movies that use the same formula, but thankfully I was wrong. I felt like this was a unique murder mystery movie in many ways because not only do you find out who the real murderer is early on in the movie, you are also rooting for that murderer and have sympathy for them. As usual you get revelation of how and why the murder happened at the end which was definitely complex. By the way it was weird seeing Daniel Craig speak with that accent and I want to know why with that particular accent?",7 "A very good film that seems a little too much a like a perfect version of older titles in the same franchise, I you liked the others you will enjoy it, if you've never seen the last couple you'll Love it!",6 "As a fan of Steve and Martin, I couldn't wait for this. But my expectations were blown away by the writing, acting, and the great ensemble. This show (only 3 episodes in) is just fun to watch and the story pace keeps you engaged. Selena Gomez is doing a great job keeping up with the incredible talents she gets the privilege of working with.",10 "Hanuman presents the first serious and truly professional Indian effort at animated movie making. Expecting Disney like finesse would be unjust for a beginner but the makers of Hanuman did an awesome job. One would get the glimpses of Disney's Lion king and Tarzan here and there in the style of animation. The story is something which every Indian kid grows up with, its the story of monkey God Hanuman, son of God of wind Varun and Anjani, he is an incarnation of Lord Shiva. The narration assumes the viewers knowledge of the Hindu epic Ramayana, so for those who have not heard of Ramayana would find certain parts of the movie indecipherable. Its a movie which kids are going to love and adults appreciate. Highly recommended for a full family fun. Highs: 1. Reasonably good quality animation. 2. Great music. 3. Does full justice to the theme. 4. Young Hanuman is super cute. Lows: 1. Presumes viewers' knowledge of the epic Ramayana. 2. Some more detail in the story telling would have been appreciated.",8 "For everyone who has waited for this in a long time: It would be amazing to finally see a movie turn out to be so much like the book. They use the little quotes, the big lines everything. Okay not every detail can be in it but we must forgive that. Look at other movies which don't even come close to the book. No this Movie is a good one. It is obvious that John Green was at the set and helped out if it wasn't going the way the book was going. However compared to all the emotion in the book, I must admit that in the movie it was barely. Of course I cried, I'm a girl come on. However I didn't really cry because of what happened on the screen but more because I thought how that felt when I read it in the book. I think that they could have done a much better job with the emotions. There were a lot of people crying in the cinema, so I doubt if they agree with me but I found it all with all a bit emotionless for the person who watched it. It was for example just Hazel crying. To me it was nothing more. Still I have to give one compliment for the way they use text messages. Absolutely brilliant. I'm just a bit disappointed because I thought it would be a real tear- jerker but it wasn't.",6 "The Boys is one of the best television shows I have ever seen. I do like superhero movies but I've always felt like there's something missing. This was what it was missing. The diversion of the genre is genius and has a ridiculous amount of production value. It's rare to find a show that is this balanced, albeit perfectly balanced, on every level.",9 "02/05/2019 IMDb has the rating about right. Definitely a good movie but much of the subterfuge of espionage was alot to transparent and no matter how many cigarettes you make Jennifer smoke or how provocative she dresses her ""Seductress Ima Man Killer Doesn't Work"". Kinda thick she is, her stand in's for close ups and walk aways are the tell. She is a good actress but kinda ill suited for the part that she played. I enjoyed it, just nit pickin I guess? Bon Appetit",8 "Thanks for wasting my time Disney. Typical ""White man bad"" just to keep up with the times right.",1 "It's a very good show, I enjoyed it, but and there's a big but, the beginning of the show is pretty boring if you expect the classic marvel style. After episode 2 it starts to be interesting.. Nice development for a underestimated character.",8 "DC tried to make this movie like Marvel's Deadpool, however they could not succeeded. The story line also not good. Hope the Shazam 2 will be better than this.",3 "As others have been saying, this movie is possibly (probably) the best comic book movie ever, and one of the better movies ever period. Firing on all cylinders, Spiderman 2 will be a hit for everyone, knowing no boundaries of age, sex, race, religion, etc. It offends no one but pleases and inspires all. This movie demonstrates how vulgarity and sex are completely unnecessary to creating a good, quality, even high-grossing movie. I saw it Monday night at a sneak, but don't doubt that this will be ""the big one"" this summer and this year. I'll see it again as soon as i can--although a merely a new release it will soon be considered a classic. Don't miss it.",9 "Spider-Man 2 is a rare thing, a sequel that improves on the original in almost every way. Sequels tend to jump straight into the action; the characters after all, have already been developed in the original movie. Spider-Man 2 smartly eschews this rule, allowing for almost as much character development as in the first film. The result is a truly beautiful motion picture. Spider-Man 2 begins some time after the first movie. Spider-Man's real life persona, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is a wreck. Fired from his job, falling behind in school, unable to pay his rent and out of touch with his friends Peter struggles with the duality of being Spider-Man. Meanwhile, the brilliant Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) is working feverishly to complete his latest project: a fusion reaction meant to provide a perpetual energy source. He conducts his project under the Oscorp Corporation, now led by Peter's best friend Harry Osborne (James Franco), who unbeknownst to Harry himself, is the son of deceased Spider-Man villain The Green Goblin. To complete the fusion, Octavius fits a set of artificially intelligent mechanical tentacles into his spine; these tentacles are prevented from controlling Octavius because of a tiny chip he has implanted into his neck. The fusion of course, goes awry, turning the respectable Octavius into the evil ""Doc Ock"". This sequence sets up the remainder of the movie, as Spider-Man must stop the villain from terrorizing the city, while he battles his own demons. This is where director Sam Raimi succeeds. The battles are fast-paced and shot from neat angles, with bright colours abound. An over-reliance on CGI for certain scenes can give the movie a 'cartoonish' feel, but more times than not it works well. Those scenes that further Peter's plight and his relationships with others takes up a significant amount of the movie's running time, but they never feel too long or verbose. Tobey Maguire is of course, the perfect Peter Parker. With his forlorn look and oft crackling voice, he evokes a genuine sense of pity for Peter. While I still feel that Kirsten Dunst is miscast as Mary Jane, she performs her role quite creditably. Alfred Molina is certainly quite enjoyable as the villain. Molina's Doc Ock presents a more interesting and dangerous villain than the Goblin. Making real progress since the first film is James Franco. Now freed of a peripheral role he steps nicely into the spotlight for the sequel. Further credit must be given to J.K. Simmons who plays J. Jonah Jameson. Simmons steals every scene he is in, not only because of his accurate portrayal of Jameson, but also because of his loud, unapologetic delivery of dialogue. Spider-Man 2 successfully pulls off what the Hulk tried, but was unable to do: to create a superhero film whose characters are just as exciting as the action.",8 "Didn't need a single other character in The marvel universe with as powerful as they made Carol Danvers aka Capn Marvel. She could have done everything solo, so this made this movie a 3 star instead of an 8. The movie lost all credibility by having a relatively new character for this series fly to the rescue. Boring....",3 "Bad plot. Bad accting. Shallow. Overrated. Amazed by the stupidity. Score is paid or here is some brainwashed people who give it more than 3 stars for this mediocre movie! Genre, what genre?! Overall not worth it!!!",3 "One of the problems that great directors run into as they start to acquire fame is that they become so popular that everyone around them becomes a ""yes man"" and won't refine the director's vision, edit them, and restrain some of their obsessive tendencies. Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood is Quentin Tarantino unrestrained. There's excess all over this thing, from the unnecessarily long run-time to the constant bare feet shoved in front of the screen. This doesn't mean that he is so unhinged that the movie as a whole is a disaster. On the contrary, there are still some great elements in this film, despite its tendency to ramble on to a nearly exhausting degree. First and foremost, the acting is stellar. Brad Piitt is his usual charming self, and makes this stunt double into someone every guy would love to have as a friend. Leonardo DiCaprio is perfect as the actor struggling with the inevitable shift in his career from leading man/hero to supporting role/villain. As for how this movie handles the whole Manson family thing, I thought that was fine. It might have been more impactful to me if I was more knowledgeable about the history related to them, but I knew enough to appreciate this film and how it handled the historic tragedy. I genuinely loved the big climactic scene, and it's not just because this was the most interesting part of the film (since something of note was happening.) It has this cathartic wish-fulfillment quality that you don't see many other film-makers attempt. I only wish it felt more like the satisfying conclusion to a story, but there was so little structure to Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood. The entire thing felt like a series of small vignettes featuring a number of loosely-connected people, and then they all come together in the end for a big finish. It's one of those movies where I simply felt like things were happening rather than a story was being told, which is a pet peeve of mine. Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood is definitely lower-tier Tarantino for me, even though it will be a favorite to others.",6 "Great movie. Shah Rukh was excellent and so was Ashutosh's direction. This is not to take away credits from the remaining cast. Everyone performed really really good. Specially the Haridas scene, was brilliant. Scenes like this (and the one where boy sells water on the railway station) brings the best of the director and actors. And I know this is not just a movie, it reflects truth and that's why it makes the movie more commendable. I guess, living abroad makes me understand this movie better. I hope people (including me) don't just see this as another movie and do end up taking some inspiration from it. This is the kind of movie that our society needs to see.",9 "Sit back and enjoy Smart, funny, safe but will surprise with an edge Steve Martin , Martin Short and Selina Gomez Steve Martin superbly plays an understated Steve Martin Martin Short is excellent and plays himself with his superb timing and restrained whacky humour Selina Gomez I have never found to be particularly engaging but suits this role perfectly as someone who does not want to be engaging but cannot help herself. Recommended.",9 "I would say another subpar DC heroes, way below the likes of Aquaman or any other Marvel heroes. It's good for kids though, adults may find it like somebody's making a joke of the superheroes. Surprised to find so many good reviews on this...",6 "Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) is tired of her parents (Laura Dern, Sam Trammell)'s help and the support of the support groups. The doctor diagnose her as depressed. That is until she meets Augustus (Ansel Elgort) at a support group meeting. He's a one-legged cancer survivor who share the same view of life. Hazel gives Augustus a book 'An Imperial Affliction' written by Peter Van Houten (Willem Dafoe) to read. Van Houten invites them to visit him in Amsterdam, but the meeting doesn't turn out the way they hoped. This is a perfectly OK teen melodrama with a great performance from Shailene Woodley. She nails this character through the ups and downs. Her scene with Willem Dafoe in Amsterdam is terrific. She doesn't just hold her own but she comes out on top. Ansel Elgort is too one dimensional. I think that has a lot to do with the writing. He is all sugary charms. Even his bad driving is engineered to endear him to the audience. He's not a real person but rather a manufactured character. This movie could do with some swearing. This is where the MPAA rating system really screws with a movie. It's a movie that needs the PG rating. As such, bad language that would fit these characters' situation is just gone. One would expect these characters to have the gallows humor and the swear words to match. I guess there isn't much the filmmakers can truly do about it. One scene that encapsulates the movie for me is the kiss in Anne Frank's house. As the kiss develops, I thought that this is going to be awkward. Once they start kissing, the scene actually is touching. It works and then everybody starts clapping. It becomes over-written. It's a movie with a great young star that is trying to do something interesting but just tries too hard with its writing.",6 "Are you kidding? Why does this movie exist? Didn't everything end PERFECTLY in Infinity War? Who needs a sequel and for the story to keep getting squeezed out like all those characters who ended their story so interestingly! Total boredom on top of that! CGI that is far from the best. Acting - OK, but more drooling actors than adequately standing in front of the camera. Totally ruining all the character development created so far in the MCU. The funny scenes are woeful in a bad way, the story is boring and unrealistic, and unnecessarily long! Total crap. I have no words! Final score: 2/10.",2 "The animation in here is a work of a genius. The movie never falls short to tickle your funny bone. This is one of the sequels which is equally enjoyable as the original one. The addition of croc and ox are not that a good addition but since they do not have much screen time you'll never get bored. The voice overs are perfectly in sync with the animation and the emotions. Jack Black's voice over as PO is fantastic. He will make you love Po enough that you would want to watch the movie again. Over and all an excellent choice for a move worth watching with the entire family. For anybody too fond of animations, this movie is a MUST!",8 This series would be perfect without unnecessary anti-socialism sentiments.,9 "I watched a review about this movie before seeing it and I would say most of it was quite accurate. There were too many plots that leave you disappointed at the end. Johny Depp was a pretty good actor. Overall, good acting, good effects all around. Interesting enough, I found that I disliked the movie before it. I didn't mind Fantastic Beasts before watching this film. However, I feel the lore and plots of the film leave fans kind of stranded with important questions. I recommend watching the film, because there are a lot of questions that one personally has about the wizarding world and how it works. I feel like for example there is a similarity between Voldemorts parents and an important character's in the film. But it doesn't quite work and I'm afraid you might have to wait until the end of the film to really understand what I mean. I feel a lot of fans share the same idea as I do, but the plot in the film leads to nothing. Don't get me wrong... its a twist. However, I feel like the plot would have been more interesting than the actual fact that we witness at the end of the film. Its like ""AHA"" and everyone in the theater is like.... really? Interesting... but not really. I expected more for sure. And I guess maybe 6 stars is generous. I would say that it finally goes deeper into the history of the wizarding world which is why I said I felt I disliked Fantastic Beasts after watching this film. I felt this film lacked, and was disappointed that the distribution of information in this film wasn't evenly distributed with its predecessors. One can tell that there is way too much information being thrown to the audience. Perhaps the directors realized it it didn't matter considering what I mentioned about the ending. However... still. Its a couple hours of a lot of information being thrown at one.",6 The change in venom opinion came in ridiculous way,3 "Great series, with just a few flaws. As a person born in 87, south of Ukraine, some scenes were off, but hey, it's not a documentary.",9 "I wish I could describe in words what a fantastic film Jhund is!! If you are thinking whether or not to go for it, watch it right now. It is totally a big screen experience. The direction, music, cast, performances are all top notch. Nagraj Manjule is an absolute legend! Now, it is up to the audience to make this a huge hit!! It totally deserves nationwide attention.",10 "I was waiting for it to end after an hour and a half and it didn't come soon enough. Boring film that seems to think its clever yet has no thought provoking elements. I love DiCaprio normally but he was definitely wasted on this film. How does this get such a good rating?? Realistically it probably about a 5 out of 10 but I gave it a 1 for all the flattering ratings it must have got to be in the top 10 films. I am typing this sentence to make it up to the 10 lines minimum as I haven't got anymore to say about this film. All in all, the dream in a dream in a dream stuff really is boring and they managed to make a good idea into a bad film.",1 "Don't listen to what anyone else says yes there's problems its not perfect but every movie cant be the dark knight. Robert Downey Jr does a great job reprising his role as Tony Stark, Don Cheadle is way better than Terrance Howard as James Rhodes, Mickey Rourke is one of the best bad guys I have seen in a while ( though his character lacks depth), Scarlett Johansson is smoking hot as Black Widow or Natasha Romanov, Sam Rockwell does a great job as Tony Stark rival and antagonist Justin Hammer and kind of steels the movie in a funny way. Unfortunately Gwyneth Paltrow just complains and yells the whole movie ( just like in sky captain...) If you don't mind some talking( and Gwyneth Paltrow) there's a lot to enjoy here even more so if your a fan of the comics. P.S. stay after the credits",9 "I really love the book and have read multiple times. Some of the characterisations are spot on, such as Shadwell, Adam and Newton Pulsiver. However why on earth did they change Pepper? She is a ginger haired girl with lots of freckles, hence her nickname. She is also feisty, not the coloured stereotype they decided to write. Also Where on earth did Anathemas back story come from and why was it needed? They got a lot right but some really grating changes that were not needed.",8 "I just watched this movie for the first time... someone recommended it. I am very disappointed. I caught the word ""Yeah/ yah"" the first 5 minutes of the movie.... As every other word they said was ""yeah/ Yah"" in the weirdest accent. When I noticed it.. I couldn't stop hearing it!!!! They must've said the word ""Yeh/ Yah"" every 45 seconds. If someone is bored... I can't be bothered.. please count the number of times you hear the word ""yeah/ yah"". It ruined the movie for me. every time I tried to pay attention all I could hear was ""Yeah/ yah"" Not a 8.2!!!! More like a 2.8 Post back if you count.. I will say at least 2,000 times. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!",3 "Although I had read varing opinions on the film, I hadn't bought into them too much as I didn't want anything to be spoiled. It isn't the standard kind of film i would watch but I found it fun, colourful and heart felt with a sad, honest but important undertone and message. I dont see how embracing Inclusivity, equality, femininity and respecting bodily and mental autonomy is a negative. I think this film will make certain people uncomfortable and easily confused as to the message it is trying to convey but I'm glad they didn't dumb it down for those particular audiences and were brave enough not to pander. My kids loved the film and it allowed for some discussion and reflection without breaking the fun vibe.",10 "In the modern world, it is so easy to just give an audience a film composed of a blaze of visuals and sound and make them love it. Avatar is the perfect example of that. The story was so annoyingly predictable and hollow that I ended up believing that it was supposed to insult my intelligence. The characters and the dialog were downright one-dimensional, worn-out and unlikable. Subtleties were nonexistent and there was a constant manipulation of emotions going on. It is so easy to create a classical cinema product. Be humble. Be in love with your project. Be a perfectionist. Be as original as possible. Let us do the thinking during the film. That's about all you need to do. Avatar was just a demonstration. I really wish that the animators' skills were utilized to something else...",2 "Another big budget series with crash, bangs, special effects, money spent on screen. Clearly this is positive but alas this is where the good stuff ends. The characters are woeful, four episodes in and I couldn't care less about any of them. The writing is perfunctory, pedestrian and feels like writing by numbers. There's the occasional laugh out loud moment, usually based on a gag about genitalia or an exploding body part. But otherwise this is a bit of a letdown and after four episodes I decided to give up and move on to something more interesting. This is a sadly such a common trait of modern day tv shows these days, huge budgets but second rate writing and plot.",4 "Review based on Season One & Two I am a fan of superhero series, especially the unconventional ones, so when I saw the trailer of The Umbrella Academy, I was all excited. It was kind of what I expected, the plot is intriguing, the villains and heroes a mixed bag of stylish and wacky, the focus is more on storytelling then action, and when we do get a wee bit of fight, it is crazy. Season One (7/10) The characterization is good, all of them having unique personality and powers, the best part, they all seem to have normal human problems and complexes, it is not all about having a mission and saving humanity for them. For me the best were Aidan Gallagher's ""Number Five"", he had the best action sequences and Robert Sheehan's ""Klaus"", both of them seem to be having so much fun. Rest of the characters felt underutilized as of season one. I really enjoyed the fight in the diner. Another highlight was the superb soundtracks, they just add to the charm of these guys. The series did have other problems, the biggest issue for me was the ending, a cliff hanger, they didn't get to answer most of the questions we start with. At ten episodes the season is just too short, and the uneven pacing didn't help the matter much, the mid-section of the series felt like filler. The second problem was some of the castings, mainly the boring anguish look of Ellen Page's ""Vanya"", she is getting typecasted and doesn't offer much with the same expression all through the series. I liked her generally but she was terrible out here. Season Two (8/10) Wilder and Wackeir, more fun and entertaining, felt like a more complete package. Few new characters joining our merry gang, Ritu Arya as Lila fits right in, as for Swedes while they are good I preferred Hazel and Cha-Cha. Season Three (6/10) Overstuffed, too much is happening with too many people, and the storytelling and the plot is all over the place. This season is more about spending more time with your favorite characters, it is all about having cute or emotional moments, if you try to use your brains, it will freeze.",7 "During the first 2 Hours of the movie I was more interested in the hair of the man in front of me at the cinema. No storyline or action whatsoever from that. Then it skips to 6 months later or more (I can't honestly remember) and then there's a bit of action but nothing to do with the story so far. The action was pretty funny and gory to be fair but then it ends and you can't quite figure out what you've watched. Brad Pitt was pretty good. Di Caprio and Margot Robbie have been payed to act really well with no intent of giving their characters anything to do. Maybe it was just a movie for older people or fans of westerns, maybe it all went over my head, but most likely it was the most boring movie I have ever watched. I'd say it's not worth watching again to figure it all out. Also if my dad watches this (and he loves westerns), he'll be asleep within the first 10 minutes.",2 Much much better .... And a STORY! AN ACTUAL SCRIPT AND EXTREMELY WELLL ACTED! WELL DONE!!,9 "Having really enjoyed the whole Harry Potter franchise and the first fantastic beasts film, I was really looking forward to seeing this film. On the positive side the special effects are quite spectacular and I still love Eddie Redmayne's character Newt. On the negative side I did find it quite confusing, especially given that they attempted to explain what was going on part way through. However, the thing that has really put me off of going back to see the next film was the complete lack of a decent ending. It left me feeling really ripped off and surely it cant be that hard to give a film a decent ending even though it is part of an ongoing story - The Potter movies managed it ! I was just left feeling very disappointed and sad about what could have been a great film.",5 "This is the kind of movie people like because they feel like they're supposed to like it -- like they'll feel like they're missing out on the big joke and they'll get thrown out of the cool kid club if they admit they don't like it. Daniel Day Lewis is compelling, and Dano was a great preacher-boy, but other than that, the film lagged. And having Dano play both parts without explanation was a ridiculous idea. The images, while present, were not nearly enough to carry a movie like that. Unhitch yourselves from what your movie-school friends might think of you if you voice an opinion. Vote no on this movie.",3 Fantastic Movie. 10 out of 10 for the Direction/Acting.,10 Season one is good......season 2 is even better (except ep 7)........if you are in for first couple of episodes then I can guarantee that you are not going to stop until whole series is over.......perfect binge worthy show.....,9 "I eagerly watched The Irishman as a long time fan of Martin Scorcese, Pacino, DeNiro and Pesci. Pacino was entertaining, Pesci was Pesci, and DeNiro was OK but has lost something. The story was slow and didn't seem to go anywhere, even though I was familiar with it. It really seemed more of a patchwork of cliches from other movies of the genre, and really just was boring. It was nothing new, nothing interesting and seemed to rob (not in a good way) from former works. Save yourself the 3 hours, this is a complete bore, which pains me to say.",3 This anime is in my top 10 out of like over 70 i have seen. The story line of this is very good with interesting characters such as Eren i found him more interesting then the others (you'll understand why when you watch it.) i also like what they did with the titans as i'm pretty sure they got the idea from like zombies but zombies can get boring as they are easy to kill but with titans there harder to kill and people are more feared of them then anything. I'm still waiting for season two of this but its taking quite a while and have been putting it off for some time (if you have already seen this you will understand the pain of waiting lol) there's not really anything else i can say about this as its hard to describe without spoiling it but i do highly recommend you watch this!,7 It has shown very wrong information about Bangladesh. I would suggest to study about Bangladesh first.,1 "The plot is just so dumb that is painful and hard to ignore. Best case, it fits to a slapstick comedy and thats the genre i would put it into. So forget any tension, any thrill or interest that the story could create. Then it full of childish moral which just makes you cringe. Certainly a comic adventure should have some comedy in it, but again here they try so hard and so often to be funny, but it just isn't. The CGI is 1A, but how many stars can you get for a cgi masterclass (3 in my case and all three are for the CGI otherwise it would zero). A good movie maybe for children. That was it for me, I will not watch any more comic movies. No idea how it go 72 on metascore which in the past was always a guideline for me that worked.",3 "26 March 2014 Film of Choice at The Plaza Tonight - Captain America - The Winter Soldier. Marvellous Marvel has done it again. This is the fourth outing for Chris Evans in the role of Steve Rogers, better known as Captain America. Battling to cope with his place In the modern world he is confronted by a new threat....The Winter Soldier. I think this is probably the best instalment yet. Definitely a film of two halves, the first highlighting Captain America's insecurities, and finding his place within SHIELD as the plot twists and turns and the treachery unravels. The second half of the film is where all the cool action happens and it was some pretty good action too. Exceptional effects, dramatic music and a solid storyline brought this film together and kept you entranced until the very end. I want a set of wings like Falcon and once again you can tell which people in the audience are the true Marvel fans, all the rest leave before the credits!!!!!!",10 "Rakeysh Mehra have done a fabulous job. Screenplay was very gud.Photography by Mr pradhan was very fine,it was like a clear and clean beautiful sky. Farhan Akhtar ""the Milkha Singh"" has just lived the life of Great Runner Milkha ji,Farhan was brilliant n Also Sonam Kapoor was fabulous in Viro role.She should be thankful to director for again giving such a nice movie. Writer has composed the story wonderfully keeping key points of Milkha's life Highlighten. Music was not so SOUND but still background was awesome. This movie had some scenes which if would have been not there,then still film was very nice.Divya dutta and others lived the charavters Movie is not of the range of classics as Paan Singh,Rang De Basanti and Chak de India,still .it was fine experience to watch it. I think NATIONAL AWARD in BEST FILM section is now for this movie only.SPECIAL CREDITS for Rakeysh and Farhan",8 "Couldn't wait till it ended. There was the best performance by Judd Hersh, too bad he wasn't on longer. Michelle Williams was dreadful. So unbelievable. I hope Steven's mother wasn't like that character she created. This is a personal story, but just doesn't hold your attention. Many parts were just plain boring. The actor that played Sam was mediocre for what he was given. I didn't think the character was consistent throughout. I guess you can be a great filmmaker and then screw it up when you try to do something that is close to you. The thread of the filmmaking was the only consistent thread throughout, but it is the story around it that missed its mark. The movie is too long. I don't know how long that was, but I wanted it to end much sooner. I don't know who wrote this, if this was him, but the story was disjointed. It never flowed.",4 "Hindu phobic content not acceptable ! Urudwood /bullydawood better get this once n for all! Please no gaslighting audience ,or denigrating hindu faith ! Go and get the pirs/ maulanas and sufi saints as lampoon objects ! Stop selling dross on nameof creativity! This is. Sham!",2 "Even though some episodes were slow and a bit boring from time to time while a certain reveal was unimportant, ""The Falcon and the Winter Soldier"" still delivered/showed amazing action scenes, touching moments, a great message and brought back the Dora Milaje from previous MCU entries. The standout, however, is Walker. I love hating and liking this character and Wyatt Russell portrays him perfectly.",9 "I went to the opening night in my area - the theater was full. About 15mins into the show, I realized what I was getting into. Only small squarish portion of the screen was used, there were only going to be 2 actors, I could understand only 40% of the dialog, the characters are weird but not interesting and it's very, very slow. I could see people clearing out of the theater the moment it looked like it was over. I was one of them - I couldn't wait to get out. The main thing to know is that even though it's listed as ""horror"" (and in some listings sci-fi / fantasy) ... it's an art film. This means it's generally unconventional, experimental and geared at a niche audience. A lot of times such movies will capture critical praise but be unappealing to mass audiences. That's what's going on with this movie. It's bizarre, psychological, atmospheric and if it happens to grab you - intense. Otherwise, it will be a massively disappointing. If you saw ""The Witch"", Egger's other key movie, you'll understand. People went in expecting a typical horror movie, but were instead given a slow, shakespearean-like drama with complex language and minimal, slow scares. For me, the problem with this movie is that I didn't care about either of the characters. Neither seemed relatable or engaging. If anything, it was uncomfortable to watch them. The story seemed more about madness than anything spooky. If it had been a short film - it might have been palatable, but not in its current form. Unless you liked ""The Witch"" or are into artsy / experimental movies, definitely be forewarned and eliminate your expectations. It could be a big letdown.",4 "The bad guys have a machine that can open up muti dimentions? There are multi versions of spider man ? what a stupid plot but gave it a watch and it's prety poor diologue with unrealistic characters trying to reinvent what spiderman is. ! I like the idea a kid could become spiderman but don't plagerize Porky Pig and japanese anime and darkman. They even copied dead pool but he's purple.Theirs a weird scene where all the different spidermen things beat up the black kid. Also made for 3D only and graphics are weird and it's jumpy with a blur, you get a headache watching it and damages eyesight.",5 "Seen lot of movie on war based but this was brilliantly made in india ,a real patriotic feeling and a great tribute our National hero's. Must watch...",10 "Great in the first part, depicting tribal life, then becomes a bog-standard ""trying to get home via all manner of depredation"" tale. The CGI is not great, and if you can't predict the ending then...you're in for a big surprise!",6 "What If..... is a great series. It has a Great story with plenty of twists ..... I would strongly recommend to Marvel lovers .... However some episodes are quite boring and a bit exaggerated. But some episodes are really great. Especially episode 8 and 9 are the greatest episodes. Episode 8 and 9 can stand in competition with great marvel movies like Endgame , etc.",8 I really want to be part of the fun. I want to like it. I want to be excited. I am going to keep at it. Up to 5. Trying hard! A background in MCU would be helpful so I'm studying!,8 "Sitting down to watch it I tried to figure out if I'd gone to the wrong theater. The cast appeared to be hesitating and embarrassed to be there. The quality of the cinematography seemed dull and washed out. The script was stylized like imitating a low budget mystery but then there are all these high powered stars who seem to barely believe the lines they are performing. The script, the acting, the plot is built on farce and poorly delivered punch lines. I dozed off in the middle and tried to like Daniel Craig's weird accent but kept remembering him as the macho Bond and it was so sad. I think all the good reviews must be fakes. I almost walked out.",4 "I don't get how there are so many 10/10 reviews for this bore-fest, either the reviews are fake or I am missing something. And why does the main character talk like Italian mafia? What's the point?",3 This truly masterpiece in Indian cinema . I'm feeling very bad this film couldn't get it's popularity but soon it will be one of the best film leading actor Vishu as done great job,9 "Don't waste your time with this crap. I can't believe someone got paid to write this garbage. They should pay us to watch it. Oh, the pain!!!",1 "Okay, so firstly Jennifer Aniston out classes any other actor in this, proving she can adapt and act. There is a trend to pretty much spoof murder mystery movies these days, yet very few actually do a proper one, which in my opinion is a great shame, a well done murder mystery is always worth a watch and has now become a dying art. I have no problem with fun in a film, spoofing, but this should have been better. In my opinion, it was either edited very poorly or the script was just missing it by an inch each time, I personally thing the latter. It is fun ish, but should have been more, not a bad watch, but definitely not a good watch. The plot is simple, but I can't help thinking, even with the same actors, it would have been so much better if it had not been spoofed, Hey, we all like a bit of humor, but we can also do serious. It reminded me of the film Clue (from Cluedo) a total spoof, but done well, to a ridiculous level, at no point do you think it is serious. You know from the start it is a spoof, from it's title. In summary, watch it, it'll fill some time, Jenifer Aninston plays the part well, Adam Sandler seems to have excepted his poor take on a comedic role and not bothered more than that, but it will hopefully create a few laughs and will have filled part of your evening. I do though think that most will feel as I do, it could have been so much more or done differently.",5 "The Witcher is a captivating series which manages to draw you in and entertain despite a number of flaws that permeate its whole length. Set in a dark fantasy world of monsters, magic and knigths, this book adaptation follows the deeds of a renegade mutant bound by fate and destiny. Overall the production is great and definitely worth praising but, still, there's a lot of variation in quality and care in all the main aspects of story telling. The story in itself, though interesting enough, struggles from pacing issues and sudden cuts and change of focus. This is especially apparent in the first episodes where the viewer is continuously thrown in new situations without introduction or build-up. Be it the magical academy coming out of nowhere where a character goes from being a doormat to being the best in the span of two scenes, or two friend-enemies that after a thirty second dialogue are somewhat lovers, the viewer seems to be fed facts more than stories. There's a lack of progression, coherence and immersion. As a consequence, many interactions between characters suffer of poor development and we're forced to believe in romantic relationships, friendships and whatever else we didn't see unfold. The dialogues in turn, for a significant part, lower the quality grade of the show. Too many mediocre punch lines, ridiculous conversations and generally a tendency to deliver sentences without weight. This flattens the characters and binds them to their own little stereotype with no chance of redemption. Finally, the show would have benefitted from some deeper worldbuilding. Characters, places and events keep popping out of nowhere without introduction nor meaning. It's an issue somewhat related to the previous two and tends to lessen the viewer experience. Hopefully these issues will be fixed in future seasons as this series has the potential for being a long-running success. There are a lot of great moments and scenes and it's definitely worth watching for fantasy lovers or those who already appreciate the story as told in other media. Just go in with the right expectations and you will be pleasantly surprised. As in, don't expect a masterpiece because, even though it's an above average series, there's a lot to be fixed and desired.",7 "I was thoroughly disappointed. Despite having high hopes for this show, I found it to be a convoluted mess. The plot was poorly developed and the characters lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with them on any emotional level. The main character, in particular, was a terrible actor and failed to deliver a convincing performance. Her wooden delivery and lack of emotional range only added to the disappointment of the already underwhelming story. Additionally, the special effects were great looking but felt so try hard and were just an overall boring experience. I was also let down by the ending, it was unsatisfying.",5 "The majority of contemporary ""fantasy"" series, like this one, suffer from the same basic problem set: an inability to tell a simple story, that is interesting, about characters about which the viewer can care, with an understandable plot. Regrettably, the IT team, blue screens, props, costuming, weapons, and monsters do not compensate for tedium, scenes without meaning, obscure dialogue, and supposedly witty bewilderment.",3 "I was very disappointed with this film. CGI action on the big screen was much to fast and complicated with multiple images, making me wonder where to look on the big screen. The plot was even more confusing, at one stage I was completely lost as to what the characters were talking about, even though I have read all the Harry Potter books, and seen the movies. I am reluctant to spend money on a future movie instalment.",3 "Please, please stop it for those of us who love to escape into a silly superhero show. Broke Sam... come on !!! Need i say more ?",2 "I must start by saying I've played both games, also adding I've played the first game around 3 times due to being remade for both PS4 & PS5. It's true, one of the best games on PlayStation by far, but this is a review for his TV series adaptation. Genuinely, series plays out very similar to the game with many noticeable scenes with no spoilers, our main leads Ellie 'Bella Ramsay' & Joel 'Pedro Pascal' are just brilliant with a strong supporting cast to match. World building and set pieces are brilliant and fungus like zombies are brilliant and their sounds only add to the fear when not scene. Only real downside is, series did feel a little rushed to get to the end of 'Part 1' where some episodes nothing really happens so pacing did feel a little off. But overall, great acting, earthy & compelling, let's hope series 2 picks up the pace with a few more zombies to add!",8 I really was expecting that when i saw the trailer.the movie didn't disappoint. Being a huge fan of amir i absolutely loved the movie though he has approx 30 mins of his showtime in screen.zaira was absolutely brilliant.the story was grabbing and right from the start you feel connected to the characters.the film potraited the dreams of a teenage girl in a magical way.go with your mom you will not be disappointed.and in the end you'll give a tight hug to your mom.get some tissues and go watch it.,9 "This is a whodunit movie. So you kind of have to roll with the clichés. Obviously it's full of them because it's a whodunit! The idea behind that is that the audience is constantly asking ""Whodunit?"" Until the very end. This does that imo. But like Death on the Nile, and Orient Express (which were both extremely similar imo, because there is a formula for Whodunit movies, you'll find the same ones in different movies, it's how these movies work) So I'm writing this review after watching a Drinker review on YouTube. Usually I agree wholeheartedly with the guy. But I think when he doesn't like something, the review is just going to be bad anyway. So on this occasion, I disagree with him, and yes, it's true, everything does have to go exactly to plan or everything will fail. So I do agree with him to a certain extent. But suspension of disbelief is a must when it cones to movies like this. They're just supposed to be fun. I don't think they're fishing for Oscars. But a decent movie, with a decent cast. Don't be put off by what other people think.",7 "I have watched a lot of superhero series, and the new ones which are coming out are unique, especially The Boys. Can't wait for season 3. Not much to complain, just grateful this was made.",8 """1917"" is no doubt an outstanding technical achievement, to the point I spent the whole film admiring the camerawork and riveting photography instead of empathizing with the characters (Deakins, you did it again!!). The film really succeeds at giving the illusion of being shot in a single take, with lengthy yet incredibly fluid and suggestive tracking shots that let you discover the world at the same pace as the main characters. It's an immersive experience but ultimately felt more like a horror-tinged virtual tour of the battlefield rather than an example of emotionally resonant storytelling. There are a few engaging moments along the way indeed, but it always seems like the director's ultimate objective is to impress and keep making you think: ""how the hell did they shot that!"". Gimmicks can make a difference in certain films, but at some point, you are supposed to forget about them so that you can get lost in the film's world. Still, I do appreciate that the film tries to point out the absurdity and monstrosity of war without being preachy and maudlin. The beginning can be a little misleading, but eventually, there is no hero to glorify nor big speech to make. You just follow an ordinary soldier in his journey and let the images speak themselves.",7 "This animation series is really awesome. Firstly, I love the scenario that shows us alternative versions of our favourite characters. As for me, it was a little bit strange to kill Tony Stark in each episode (almost). My favourite episode is episode about evil Dr. Strange. Secondly, it was great when I heard voices of actors and actresses who plays this character in MCU. Thirdly, I like the animation style itself. So, I can recommend it to all fans of MCU.",8 "It has been a long time where i could not stop watching an anime show continuously episode after episode without rest. This is a mostly dialogue-driven show about college students discovering time travel and the common consequences of said time travel. Extremely memorable characters and top notch pacing that is really missing in other anime shows. The science behind the time travel is nothing complex, but the writers used the time travel in an incredibly brilliant way to flesh out all the characters to the fullest possible extent. Very funny show as well, since the main character is a neurotic who can't view his work objectively and somehow manages to get all his partners to stay with him. This may not be a flawless anime, but it certainly one of the best, I promise you that.",9 "I, like many others, was ecstatic for this show to come out, it looked to have everything you could ask for; A gritty time period in an infamous city, violence, corruption, political intrigue... but whatever it pitched has definitely been diluted. Kevin Bacon carries the show as a flamboyant, larger-than-life corrupt FBI agent with a shadowy reputation preceding him and I wholeheartedly think the show should have focused on him from the jump. I've never seen Aldis Hodge in anything before and so far I'm not impressed, the way his character is made out to be this indomitable Messiah come to Boston to save it from itself is exhausting to watch, but with the one-liner that was thrown out in the recent courtroom scene I'm convinced he probably has a large hand in that characterization. Jonathan Tucker makes another appearance as 'Miscellaneous Irish Tough Guy', overall the show seems to be taking itself a little too seriously at times, with conversations that are meant to be philosophical coming off as bland and there definitely seems to be some familiar pandering that can be found in most run-of-the-mill shows nowadays - it's disappointing how the channel that brought us Black Monday could stoop to this",3 "This ain't no masterpiece.. I mean the film is not bad, but it's far overrated.. And i believe it's not worth your time either. Special effects are great, certainly a lot of money is waisted on them. The plot is boring.. I mean I liked ""Batman and Robin"" more than ""Dark knight"". All those high rates for this film are spoiling reputation of IMDb. That is my opinion, no insult. If you have time to waist, and you are that guy who must watch everything from the film industry, this is the right film for you. And if you don't.. than it ain't worth watching, honestly. ********************************************** this comment will help anyone, honestly ;) Nikola",4 "I've always been in to swords, magic, vampires, elves etc. Ever since I was a kid and when it comes to tv shows, it's my favorite genre. With the terrible delivery we got for the anticipated lotr show last year and with the game of thrones prequel still running but with the limitations of the GoT universe - this is the third high budget big fantasy tv show that is on tv at the moment - and it's good. The Witcher world is full of magic and monsters and it seems everything is possible. This story also has 1-3 main characters that we learn to love over time by hearing about their story and how they came to be. This makes a group of main characters that we care about and cheer for. They are all unique, clever and powerful. The directing and writing is very good, especially in the first season. I was really feeling like it was incredibly well made some episodes in season one and have not seen anything like it. It continues as it should in season 2 and 3 but here it's more of a ongoing story that continues to develop the not single episodes of grand events to shape the world. I found it to be very enjoyable to watch even if there were some a bit overly scary moments in there. The cgi and the fighting scenes are very good too, especially the use of magic I would say and also the swordfighting and acrobatics are cool to watch. Overall this is becoming one of my favorite shows in my adult age, I haven't read the books but I've played the games and I would say I enjoy the show more. To anyone that is a gamer or that likes fantasy shows this is a no-brainer, watch it asap. To anyone that doesn't, I would give it a chance, you might be amazed.",9 "Talk about putting the bore in war! I saw Dunkirk's extended preview trailer in the Imax Hubble theatre and was excited by the tension presented by the fighter pilot scene as well as the scenes cutting in between. That was as good as this film got . A half hour to forty five minutes in I felt myself wanting it to be over and fast. Sweeping shots of the ocean and a high-powered tension building score were not enough to salvage this incredibly dull movie. The film is loaded with no name characters. It has plenty of stars just the characters you will identify as the guy who was burying the guy A multitude of character's scattered in different situations that you can not identify and by the time that you realize who is who you will not care as you will be begging for it to be over. From a cinematic standpoint Dunkirk may get high marks but it is not entertaining at all. An incredibly dull of a summer movie. So boring it was funny my friends and I laughed in the parking lot afterwards about how sufferable a sit thru this was and how badly we'd been had going to see it.",3 This Movie is hilarious even though this same concept has been done before with Freaky Friday. But with a difference it's with two guys one being a bachelor and the other a married man. they both are thrown into worlds that they are not familiar with switching lives. from the very first scene you are able to tell what kind of movie it is with its crude humor they are forced to fight through the others lives until they are able to figure out how to switch back to their regular selves. this is a funny movie with a great comedic duo with Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman. also an appearance from Leslie Mann and Olivia Wilde to give this movie a little sexiness. overall this movie is a great movie and will have you laughing for days.,9 "Jennifer Lawrence was totally miscast and this role with the nudity and thin acting requirements was beneath her. She and most of the actors walked through their roles. Hard to follow storyline combined with fake accent and deadpan expressions were just the frosting on the cake. Hopefully this role doesn't tarnish J Laws future prospects.",2 This show is ok imo but a film would've been better.,4 "I don't even know where to start. So much about this movie left me saying ""and..?"" There are red herrings everywhere, things you think will be relevant to the plot (such as it is) but go nowhere. The characters are distinctly unlikable, and the storyline is all over the place. I appreciate seeing haute cuisine and food snobbery being lambasted, but 1978's ""Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?"" did it better by far. I feel like I wasted an hour and forty-five minutes on this. I kept expecting it to get better, or at least become cohesive enough to follow, but it never did. The second half lost whatever thread it had and just wandered off. Meh. Hard pass.",2 "What's better than a movie that makes you giggle while you wince at these down trodden walking disasters. Fargo is amazing from learning that Steve Buscemi has peed several times waiting for the main ""walking disaster"" to witnessing the happiness of a tiny stamp victory. Awesome writing, understated acting, the weather itself is a character. If you haven't seen Fargo, watch it.",10 "A nice change from the usual formulaic superhero twists a refreshing blunt force of a series led by the bluntest object of all Karl Urban. How I imagine superheroes would really be like if they existed the perfect blend of anti-heroes on each side with drama, action and humour all in equal doses. Great fun.",9 It's a good entertaining movie. I like the underlying message of the movie.,7 "I watched thirty minutes and quit. I always give a TV show one episode to wow me and movies 30 minutes to wow me. Well, if they don't, they don't get to take up any more of my time. This movie had no plot, the story was all over the place. Jumping back and forth between characters, and you don't even get to know the characters either. I know who these people were, but if you don't know who they were, then you'd be COMPLETELY lost in this movie. The clothes for Sharon Tate were beautiful, they'd have to be. The hippy scene looked like a bunch of millennials dumpster diving, it looked like a modern scene or a YouTube video. I had to pass on this and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who values their time. Tarantino has lost his mojo.",4 "It's an excellent series, all the characters are great, and the suspense levels are extreme!!",9 "I don't care how optimistic you are and how much hope you put into this franchise, or how carried away did you get with the first movie: this one sucks, big time. These have been two hours of un-eventful events, so to say. I would have to think very hard and go back a long way to think about a similarly disastrous movie. But if you're looking for nice visual effects, by all means, go ahead and indulge yourself.",2 "I read a bad review before I went to see this movie, so was a little leery. However, it turned out to be excellent! It was intriguing, mysterious, clever, etc. Jennifer turned in an excellent portrayal of a woman who is no longer able to lead her life the way she wants...and has to harden herself to cope. I enjoyed the love story and the spy story especially because it played out slowly. Those high kinetic movies do not usually go deep like this one does. She is a complex woman dealing with a bad hand. No, it was not dull. But it was beautifully acted and filmed.",10 "Whether God is real or not is really insignificant, miracle or no miracle the question is was the movie made well? The development of the characters was a bit shallow, and some of the acting missed the mark, the story unfolds rushed. The movie is definitely aimed at the believing market and is tailored as such. I guess many people, believers in the Christian story or not, desire for something more. I think this movie deals with this and is therefore a decent feel good family movie.",6 "In fact, i had high expectations before watching this movie. Really i had... I read lot's of good commends about it ( It has 7.4 points over 10 on IMDb! You gotta be kidding me! ). And in addition, Jason Segel's performance in How I Met Your Mother was really good. He seems far more talented in that show compared with this movie. Keeping all of them in mind, i prepared myself for a good and enjoying survey. But unfortunately what i got is bad acting, unnecessary nudity (how come a person could think that watching a crying fat completely nude guy is funny anyway? or Was it necessary to show Mina Kunis's breasts on a picture on the wall of a toilet? ), bad dialogs and waste of 2 hours in my precious life. Sorry to say that but don't even bother watching it...",4 "One of the best tricky stories about solving the crimes, Benedect does a brilliant role as a genius awesome detective , Martin Freeman was also great in playing Dr Watson, the story has also some of comic situations all through the episodes, it was brilliant.",9 "We gave the film a chance for 90 minutes and that's it. The actors aren't not bad, maybe and partially really good. And the visual effects? Top! But what do you expect from a film that's honoured with seven Oscars? You want to enjoy a great summary artwork of a modern movie. That's the point: martial art scenes and friendly characters in high-tech Hollywood environment aren't enough. It's a pity for the main actress and actor and the photographers work. Only high speed travelling between the different worlds, dialogues without depths, too much chaos, too few red thread, no aim recognition in this long film. A question of taste.",4 "Incredible cinematography, amazing camera work, mind blowing action sequences and impeccable production design, music and sound. But I just walked out of the movie theater and for the life of me, I can't remember a single character's name... that ought to tell you something about the script, right? Was there even a protagonist? Anyways... next flick please, Mister Nolan.",7 "I was SO disappointed to see that the show jumped in the timeline already and that Milly Alcock was written off the show. I would have liked to see her in at least a full season or two. She and her twisted Uncle the main reasons that I tuned in. Their performances were amazing. There was so much story telling that was yet to be explored. I suppose I'll watch it at least until the end of 1st season and see if the characters pull me back in. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of good performances in the series, it's just that for me the storyline around her strength and guile kept me interested. I'll keep an open mind...",8 10/10 for 1st season. Season 1 is so beautifully written can't explain.,8 "The film is good but too long. There are 20 mins of nothing. The plot is intriguing and it is one of the rare movies that keeps you hanging on thinking ""whose side is the protagonist on?"" Good but it could have been better. 7/10",7 "People are mad because it's not Game of Thrones? Not all of y'all will say it, but it's clear that's what you're trying to compare it to. It's a different world with different rules and therefore different expectations. Are you guys mad because there's racial diversity? Are you mad because it has humor? Are you mad because not every episode is a gut punch? Yeah the writing isn't perfect but I'll be damned if it's not enjoyable. I've never played the games or read the books but I genuinely love it. I think the characters are interesting and I care about all of them. The cg isn't great but I hope that improves over time. I can say this for any of the show that is imperfect. I see some of you citing 'snowflakes' ruining the genre. Lol if you're so triggered then go back to Game of R*pe.",8 "Good story. I don't do spoilers all I will say is that the characters are interesting and funny. Robin played by Maya Hawke turned out to be one of my favorites. And I hope that on the music soundtrack that "" Stranger Things "" does for Siouxsie and the Banshees what it did for Kate Bush. "" Spellbound was one of the best songs of that era and a great way to close the show.",9 "Sometimes it inspire u and sometimes it was boring. Story, direction, acting and casting is good. Some story is missing. Missing after result part. One episode should be there in which Abhilash's gf story after result and his remaining attempts. Atleast one episode must be there for his gf trying to reach Abhilash. Overall it's good not best... Special thanks for TVF and Unacadmy for make it available on YouTube for free otherwise I can't pay money for this😉🙏.... Keep going...Plz make 2nd season of TVF Pitchers and 3rd season of Permanent room mates bcoz I loved that series.",8 "This is a kind of Pop-corn movie. Story is poor. But the Visual is good. Yup. That all. The plots are mess, but visual, action are good. It's a cut above Trasnformer 5. (I gave 3 points at Transformer 5 )",6 "As I sat through this mildly amusing Netflix comedy murder mystery, I couldn't stop thinking how much better it would have been with Woody Allen and Diane Keaton reprising their roles in Manhattan Murder Mystery. Jennifer Aniston tries hard, and Adam Sandler is, well, Adam Sandler. He doesn't seem to be able to dial it down and comes across as more annoying than humorous. With all that said, you won't feel as though you have wasted your time watching it. The supporting cast holds its own.",6 "Already from the first episode I knew that this would be a dragging pain to watch. However, I gave it a chance. Now, after 5 episodes, I'm about to give up. This show has absolutely NOTHING to offer. Really. Nothing. And it's going absolutely NOWHERE. I strongly suggest that you find something else to watch!",2 "This is and always will be one of the greatest sketch comedy shows ever. It's brilliant and practically perfect. The writing is smart, insightful and hilarious. But best of all, actors Key and Peele are chameleons who vanish into an infinite number of characters with a wide range of different personalities, and that's what makes this show work. Even the best writing can fall flat if the actors aren't up to the challenge. Those two are pitch perfect in every single sketch.",10 "First off I will say that I turned the movie off at the 30 minute mark as I did not want to waste anymore of my time. Up to this point the movie as near zero character development and is full of CGI. I fully enjoyed the first Doctor Strange which made me excited to see this but there is lack of substance, it was just as shallow mess of cheesy over the top CGI.. I want to see practical effects and deep (or at least _some_) character development. It is clear that Disney is taking Marvel in the wrong direction by replacing good writing with cheap effects; it looks like Marvel has finally lost their way in the film department. If you enjoy just a bunch of over the top plastic visuals and characters without character then go ahead and give this a go.",2 A man getting call from himself...first he improvise himself by that call later it ruins his life slowly... Initially i dont hv any idea how he got call himself.. But really stunning reveal and logically satisfied... Must watchable movie...!!,8 "Unlike, say, Michael Bay, Christopher Nolan always reaches for the highest rung on the ladder. It's an admirable trait, and the results certainly speak for themselves. Unfortunately with 'Interstellar' his grasp on that rung is often tenuous, and the result is a film where awesome and awful play tug of war. Technically the film is brilliant. The F/X and the cinematography are absolutely first-rate. It's too bad they're in service to a convoluted and emotionally stunted story. The cast do what they can, but there's just nothing here for them to gain purchase, and as a result I experienced a total emotional detachment throughout.",6 "I don't mind there being political messages in a show. I'm for the message the show is conveying but it feels like it was a lot less about the character development it was focusing on the beginning and more about the political message. It was a big chance to give Winter soldier and Falcon more depth as characters and instead it went all in on the struggles of being a black super hero. It took the spotlight from the show, the subplots and the villain. Reading the news is a good way to make anybody depressed. Racism is just depressing and super hero shows is usually a good way to take a break from reality.",9 UPSC- Unacademy Par Subscription le Chu.... Promoted Unacademy with utmost care.,1 "HELL YEAH! This show is beastly and hilarious. For perspective, I know very little about the Twisted Metal games. I've played it a few times when visiting a friend, but I never owned the game myself. And this was about 25 years ago. The only thing I remembered was it involves armed vehicles. I went in with low expectations given the terrible history of video game movies/shows. But we have been on a good streak lately (Sonic 1/2, Mario, Gran Turismo). And I'm ecstatic to say that the streak continues with Twisted Metal. It hooked me immediately. I love the tone and over-the-top nature. I love that it doesn't hold back with the violence and blood. I love all the comedic attempts, with so many of them being memorable. I love the two leads, I didn't know Mackie could play funny/slightly goofy. But the thing I loved the most, and it's not even close, is SWEET TOOTH!!!! He's so awesome. I've never liked clowns. Never been scared of them. Just never saw the appeal. So for me to like him this much is saying a lot. The show is elevated every time he's on screen. At first I couldn't tell who was voicing him. I kept wondering, who is the actor fully bringing this character to life? Who is the one making this sadistic psychopath so likeable? Of course, it's Will Arnett. What a beast. He's able to bring so much to the table with his voice, as we've already seen with his performances as Lego Batman and BoJack Horseman. EDIT: I should have my Nolan card revoked for forgetting about Joker in The Dark Knight. But I never really saw him as a clown. He's more like an endlessly intriguing character who dresses like a clown. But if you include him, Sweet Tooth would be second. This show is highly efficient. It doesn't meander. It does so much with so little time. Most shows these days are terrible at that, especially streaming ones. I also love the song selections on this soundtrack. Some are late 90's/early 2000's songs I love and still listen to. Others are songs I haven't heard in decades. The choices seem odd but all work. Never in a million years would I have thought a scene playing the Thong Song would give me goosebumps. In conclusion, YES and GIVE ME MORE! (1 viewing, 7/29/2023)",8 "Escape From Pretoria 2020 The 2020 film Escape from Pretoria is a true story directed by Francis Annan and filmed in Australia. Based on the title you can probably take a guess at the plot line. While the general direction of the movie is rather predictable, the suspense and true nature of the story keep it very captivating until you know what happens in the end. If for no other reason, I would recommend watching to see a real event under the 1970's South African apartheid. It does a good job at showing some of the extent to which the government was committed to systemic racism, as well as what some of the great activists had to overcome during that time. This is a suspenseful, emotional, and honestly crazy true story of a few activists learning how to survive prison, while also devising an escape plan 1 piece at a time. You'll see as the film begins with events of the main characters spreading information that the government did not want citizens to have and this causes them to be arrested and thrown in jail. While in jail they befriend a few groups that assist in various ways to help develop their plan. It's obvious that this was a different era and you can see how many things have changed in the incarceration process since then. While there were a few moments that I question the true nature of, the constant suspense keeps you watching very closely to what happens next. Daniel Radcliffe and his colleagues deserve some applause for their performances as well. I'll be looking for what Francis Annan does in the future to see what he brings to the table. I had some questions about the reality of some scenes, but I didn enjoy the roller-coaster it provided. 7/10.",7 "For those who don't know, according to Marvel, there are many parallel universes out there. And guess what? There are many other Doctor Stranges (as well as Spidermen and on and on and on). But there are also differences. Maybe they sometimes have the same friends and other times they don't. On Universe 1 they have kids. Not so on Universe 2. Makes for a neat way for super-hero movie writers to tie up loose ends, but damn it is confusing to watch. This movie is a prime example. Give me the good ol' days of one hero, one villain and one universe.",4 "On the plus side, it's a good film, entertaining and well acted. But it is not remarkable. The plot is meant to be a kind of Sherlock Holmes story, with an eccentric private detective, a murder, multiple suspects, an apparently insolvable mystery and its necessarily brilliant solution. I like the genre, I am a Columbo fan and a reader of Conan Doyle's books. What disappoints me is that the detective is much, much too clever, like spectacularly perspicacious in a short time to figure out who did it. Deus ex machina all over again! With Columbo, you can see the detective building his knowledge of the case and getting to a solution such as an intelligent, instinctive detective would figure it out. In Knives Out, the private detective does a superhuman feat of deductive reasoning. That is Marvel applied to a Sherlock Holmes film.",7 "A local comedian mentioned it on a podcast, I heard Steve Martin and thought: ""meh, I'll give it a try"". So here I am, 3 AM, mind blown, wishing I could unsee it so I could watch it again for the first time.",10 "There are some great moments in moon knight, but that's it, just moments. On the whole it feels ill conceived, badly plotted and utterly plodding. The 'personality' switch that happens constantly means that you're always introduced to a scene after the action has happened; yes this is by design to keep the viewer as confused as the protagonist, but means you're always left in the dust of something interesting that has just happened. It's a bit like your team scoring when you've gone to the toilet and you come back to rapturous applause and cheering and missed the best bit. Missed opportunity and 'Steven' as a character is far more irritating than he needs to be.",3 "I went to see this movie having my expectations pretty high and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. Trust me I am no snob and I can enjoy simplistic movies just as much as sophisticated ones, but this one made me really angry. I had read all these amazing reviews full of wows and I really expected to enjoy it...I still don't get all these amazing reviews about a fantastic deep message the movie conveys or witty humour. The message filled with cliches was transmitted in a corny way, the jokes were not funny at all, the plot - very plain with no intrigue and imagination whatsoever. The conflict solution was something a kid could come up with, I thought the writing was very lazy. The movie was just boring. I thought it was just me but my husband felt the same way and my friends who went to see it after me, would say ""we wish we could unsee it"". Barbie was my all-time favorite toy that marked my childhood and teen years and I did really want to enjoy the movie, but I just couldn't. I only give it a 5 because of the visual part which was brilliant and I love Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. But seriously... where all these amazing reviews come from? Or is it just ""The Emperor's New Clothes"" syndrome and people just don't dare to admit they see the king is naked?",5 "This movie is not in 3D. The characters and the foregrounds are, but the backgrounds are completely flat. It was like seeing actors in front of a pained backdrop. Really took me out of the experience. The photorealism is gorgeous, but it really takes away the emotional impact the characters are supposed to have. The lack of human facial expressions could have been compensated for with more expressive body language, but it wasn't. The motion is almost perfect. Animators sometimes forget about the mass and inertia of large characters (horse in Brave, I'm looking at you), but it was wonderfully depicted here. The stampede lacked a certain sense of urgency though, it seems that the reference material was of animals running to get somewhere, not fleeing in panic.",4 "I get it. Quentin Tarantino, Brad Pitt and Leonardo Di Caprio. Only Christopher Waltz is missing. However, that's about it. I would rate the film as follows 1. Characters 6 2. Acting 8 3. Plot 2 4. Cinematography 8 5. World building 8 Overall 6.2. The movie obviously carries a great feeling that 80s lovers will love. However, that's about it. The rest is pretty much irrelevant and you don't really care for the motivation of the cultists and it actually seems out of place.",6 "The movie had an extremely quick pace (hard to follow) and a lot of cliché meanings.....like we are all insignificant, human relations are the most important part of our lives etc. There were moments that the movie was actually amusing but in general it makes you feel like you want to stop watching it and see something else. The triangle of sadness is actually a better movie or even The Banshees of Inisherin, but nowadays if something differentiate from other movies we immediately embrace it like a masterpiece. Although it will win a bunch of Oscars, actually is like a home movie, the one that you will see while eating your lunch.",3 "Steins;gate is one of the best anime's out there, it blends a fascinating story with humor and a great roster of characters even if they do carry many stereotypes. Steins;gate boasts fantastic characters; each has individual style and charisma, there is a great deal of humor generated by these characters and the voice work is sublime (Japanese dub). the story is the strong point of steins;gate, it is very unique and thrilling with so many twists and turns, the subject matter itself, time travel, is automatically intriguing. The story does however start out slow, prioritising banter rather than story, but it soon develops into a great addictive, thriller. It does have some plot holes but not anything too major, overall I would give it a 8.6 out of ten with the label 'a must watch'.",9 "I have long been a fan of Sherlock Holmes. The eighties version starring the late, great Jeremy Brett is definitive in my view. Whilst I fully understand that this is an ambitious 'different take', and that usually anything written and 'put on' by Mark Gatiss is well worth a view, I'll not be watching future episodes. Am I the only viewer out here who considers this a pile of incomprehensible, pretentious garbage? A case of the emperor's new clothes I fear. On a positive note, it's great to see Wanda Ventham again. Us blokes of a certain age will remember a series like UFO, with great fondness. It's just a shame about 'Sherlock'. Conan-Doyle fell out of love with his creation, but even he would spin in his grave over this travesty.",1 "It's hard to believe that anyone would go and watch 'Captain America: Civil War' without actually knowing what it's about. And, in most cases, already seen the eight or so million previous films in the 'Marvel Shared Universe,' so I won't really go into a major recap – that what's Google is for! I'll just assume that you know about every superhero in great detail and tell you to watch this film. Whereas the first 'Cap' film was more or less a period piece with a bit of sci-fi/fantasy thrown in, the second was a kind of 'Jason Bourne' clone (with a bit of sci-fi/fantasy thrown in). Now, we're treated to what, although is technically the third Captain America movie, it could be looked at as being more akin to a third Avengers movie, due to the amount of other superheroes are given screen time. But, our 'Cap' is definitely the star. It's his team that trashes one major city too many in pursuit of a villain, meaning the powers that be decide superheroes need legislating. It's fair to say that Cap America disagrees, but not all of the Avengers to, hence the split in direction. Perhaps the best part of the story is that the opposing viewpoint is headed up by (fan favourite) Tony (Robert Downey Jr) Stark, aka, Iron Man. You've probably seen the promotional posters of Iron Man and Captain America squaring off, so you can see who each has on their side there. What we're then treated to is possibly the longest build up ever to what we really want to see. Most people have probably already been tipped off to the massive fight scene that takes place in an airport between rival sides. In any other film, people may get bored waiting or possibly find that it wasn't worth the wait when it finally came. Not here. You won't get bored. Civil War is not a short film, but it goes pretty damn quickly and you'll be totally entertained as the tension between the two factions is gradually build up in preparation for then they go toe to toe. It's all well worth it. Basically, if you have even only a little bit of interest in the Marvel Shared Universe then you'll love this. And most of us fan-boys have more than just a passing fascination with it, therefore we'll enjoy it more than most. It's no wonder that Batman vs Superman didn't do as well as expected when it was up against this. As much as I love the DC films, it just struggled to match this. I'd go as far as saying it's certainly the best 'stand-alone' Marvel film and probably better than the Age of Ulton. Yes, you can gripe about where the Hulk and Thor both are when all this is going on, but if you scour Youtube, you may just find quite a comedic answer to where the Norse god of thunder was all this time. Otherwise, sit back and just enjoy a film with more heart and soul than most people ever guessed.",9 "This movie is proof that making love stories does not have to include raunchy sex scenes and nudity (take notes Hollywood!). This is as heartwarming and affectionate as a movie can get without getting too sappy. The first half of the movie is pure comedy, showing how a hapless boy and an erratic girl get to know each through a series of humorous hangouts. The girl only gives a glimpse of the inner turmoil she suffers in the first half. The second half explore her pain more deeply and also explains why the boy is willing to put up with her outrageous and unpredictable behavior. The last part brings everything full circle. I will also say, this movie is so good because the two lead actors have unbelievable chemistry. Gianna Jun particularly had an Oscar worthy performance and indeed probably would have won an Oscar for a similar performance in a Hollywood film. But sadly this gem of movie hasn't gotten the international attention that it deserves in my opinion. Not just one of the best Korean movies, but one of the best movies ever in any language.",10 "Netflix India love to make other minorities and religions bad, in their movies. It is always Muslim or Pakistani or Afghanis but in this its Bengali. Only problem, no bengals in the movie. Typical bollywood.",6 "Nothing super new here but more action and they did a good job. The main villain was pretty cool. I liked his whips. Also the villain Hammer was annoying but I liked him. I watch these iron man movies for the suit and this sequel did not disappoint. I will say the romance between stark and Potts is a little awkward. That role just doesn't seem to be for her and she's not a great actress.",9 "Just saw the screening at the Sydney film festival. Its definitely one of the best Hindi movies ever made. Direction, screenplay, narration, acting, music, cinematography, everything about this movie is top notch. Anurag Kashyap is truly the best at whatever he does. You wont even feel the length of 5 hours and 20 minutes. Manoj Bajpai's has proved once again that he is the powerhouse of acting. Not one scene is out of order and everything is properly explained with no questions unanswered. Dialogues are very sharp and as close to reality as it can get. The opening sequence in itself is a masterpiece. The way its scripted and executed is just mind blowing. All the bloodshed keeps getting more and more innovative. Its one of those movies that will always be mentioned everywhere whenever someone talks about the Indian cinema.",10 Its been a while I have watched such an entertaining movie. All the actors have done a wonderful job. N the songs..mindblowing..loved it totally.,10 Great performances and the camera looks great. At the end the day the story did nothing for me.,4 "Hadn't read nor heard of the books but found this show intriguing as I do many English series. I enjoyed the series so much that I decided to read the books after watching this 1st season and I LOVED them! What a completely refreshing and unique take on the witches, vampires and demon genre of which I have read many! I'm really looking forward to the next season!",8 "Friends for life Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman) are starting to drift apart as their lifestyle divert. Dave is overworked, rich but wants more freedom. Mitch is single, freewheeling but wants Dave's success. One drunken night, they crossed streams while peeing and switched bodies. They get their wishes, but is it really what they want? Leslie Mann is really funny in one scene as Dave's wife. But the movie is just mostly tiresome and unlikeable. The over the line gross out humor is just trying too hard. It's a body switch movie and it feels tired.",5 One of the worst movie I've ever seen. Seems like makers were already confused with so many characters. Deserves a negative rating.,1 "I saw this movie today and I must say it was totally Brilliant.Its very original and very well Directed.Dibakar Banerjee has done a very good job the script is very simple and straight forward but some twist in the end.To be honest I wasn't expecting it to be good at all.But good direction and light comedy made this movie a very good movie.I would recommend this movie to everyone.It can be very good entertainer. Anupam Kher,Tara Sharma,Vinay Pathak,Ranvir,Parvin Dabas Boman Irani and others have done a fantastic job.They all justify their roles very honestly.Best part about this movie is everything is very simple and realistic.And my favourite no songs in between interupting the story and pace of the movie. I hope more such kind of simple and practical movies come out instead of movies like DHOOM which are cheap RIP-OFF of Hollywood movies.",9 "It was well directed, and performed but that's where it ends. Leaves too many questions unanswered not only at the end but during the entire length as well. Was overall a painful movie to watch with all characters going through the suffering during the entire length of the movie. May be not my type of a movie...But as I said the direction and performances are totally up to the mark",6 "Another glossy Nicole Kidman vanity project, with some hollow characters, like the poor guy who plays her husband they forgot to write a personality for. Kept watching because it was well shot and was in HK last year so enjoyed the shots of the city but the 'story' was really disjointed. I skipped most of episode 5 after I read it was just a self-indulgent one that did not move the story along not that the rest of the episodes moved much either. No resolution of anything in the end, should learn not to waste time with any more of Nicole's vanity projects where she can 'act'. I knew this was not good, can only blame myself for sticking with it. Don't waste your time.",5 "Too much Africans in middle ages Poland, incorrect",1 "Can someone replace Selena Gomez? No doubt she is gorgeous, but she can't act. Her acting is so plain makes me cringe. Please, casting director. Don't ruin the series. I'm giving it 6 because Michael Short, Steve Martin, Amy Ryan (i'm a huge fan of hers), Sting, Tina Fey, and other neighbors; stole the show. I like the concept. If writers can read the reviews. Some scenes are not necessary.",6 "Can't recommend for the predictable script and horrible acting. Not funny at all and a few people were shouting back at the movie screen. One guy was talking on his cellphone to another person three rows away. The horror parts were okay but not terrifying. Fiennes was more convincing in Schindler's List than The Menu. Some of the supporting actors and actresses were a pleasure to watch and the setting was beautiful. Maybe if Paulie Shore was given the lead role in The Menu, then the reviews would be better. I recommend seeing The Menu on the big screen compared to at home. Maybe the movie will win an Academy Award for best costumes.",3 "John Wick, the almighty god who can sustain several shots to his stomach without any problem but his enemies die or can't movie after 1 or 2 shots. Very weak plot, everyone is a snake and it's just pointless fighting fighting fighting and shooting. Not to forget are these illogical grappling moves John HAS to do, otherwise it doesn't look cool. Seriously one of the worst movies ever do not look at the review number. Better watch ""Peppermint"" instead one of the better action movies.",2 I have watched this show at least once per year and it keeps getting better with every rewatch. There's an endless stream of clever jokes and the first few times you might feels like you're drugs.,9 "The 2nd season is a total mess and so darn boring. What happened to the plot? The latest season is all style no substance. Also just adding profanities everywhere does not make a script interesting. Maybe it had some effect for the first time because of its shock value. Now it just seems tired and lazy. Highly disappointed with how this season is turning out.",4 "I loved Black Mirror from the very first episode when I saw it on Channel 4 years ago. The first three seasons were everything I wanted in an edgy sci-fi show, it was satirical and insightful. It had something to say about society and the human condition. Then it jumped to Netflix and season four was largely OK. Not everything worked but some of the episodes were classic Black Mirror. Then came Bandersnatch which was good but more of a gimmick than anything else. Then came season 5. My God, how the mighty have fallen. I got a sense that these episodes were knocked out quickly as the dialogue was awful, the themes had all been touched on before and there were only three episodes. Out of the three only Smithereens was any good but, in comparison to earlier episodes, it was only a shadow of what came before. Black Mirror used to have bite but Series 5 just sucks, which is all you can do when you've lost your teeth.",4 Truly This Is One of Aamir Khan's best film.Really this movie is a love legend due to Aamir Khan's finest performances. The character of Aamir was realistic because of his age in the movie. Aamir made this film best by delivering dialogues in a fantastic way.Particularly the songs in this film will remain best ever for Aamir's dances and expressions in the songs.Aamir's performances in this movie was appreciated all over the India.Aamir made this movie as an exceptionally best romantic movie as well as one of popular movie of 80's.A must for Aamir's fans .Comparing this movie with Aamir's other movies I would give first rank for Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak.,10 "Don't waste your time watching this. Basic storyline(even a 7th grade can write that kind of story). Boring theme and plot. Acting is good ngl everything else is basic af. And yes 8.8 rating is way too high i think a proper and fair rating will be around 5 - 6. Waste of time and money. I can't even describe how bland this is, probably one of the most boring and basic movie i ever saw. It has some humor but after the second half the movie is straight up super boring. The pacing was terrible. Might be good for dog lovers but for people who don't have pet just don't watch it you are probably gonna walk out of theatre.",1 "S1 was fantastic , S2 was good but not as good as the first one ... S3 was a joke ... Same repeated formula with some additions + propaganda = Bad series",7 India and Bangladesh are not same country. And our bangla and Kolkata Indian Bengali is not same. If you are portraying the culture of a country then show it properly. Don't mix it up and show something gibberish. Because there are Bangladeshi people out there who knows how misappropriate you guys were putting the so called India as saint.,1 "I am a Polish woman in her early 40s and have read the books 5 or 6 times since they came out in Poland. Incidentally I am also a fan of the Witcher games made by Projekt Red. I am sorry to say there is nothing of the Polish tradition or mythology left in this production, the only slight exception would be the music which remotely sounds like the Polish folk music, but then again it could apply to many movies/series set in the 'olden' times. There is no sense of humour so prevalent in Sapkowski's books or references to Polish history or culture. I have noticed that Henry Cavill is the only one that pronounced his name correctly, saying the 'r' in Geralt the way Polish people say their 'rrs', everyone else used the English pronunciation with the soft 'r'. All in all I am extremely disappointed with this Netflix production.",5 "Parasite 6/10... very well made movie but is it the first Korean movie the academy have seen??! The oscars throwing best international movie, best director, best screenplay and best motion picture at this movie just goes to prove my theory that the Academy are so out of touch and so desperately want to appear ""woke"" and this action by them is just an insult to all the great Korean movies that have come before this and all the other great movies released in the last year. For me this was an above average South Korean movie but everyone latched onto it as some kind of miracle of modern cinema... Meh academy, meh!",6 Its based on real story. And acting by Vicky is far above of all khans.,10 Story revolves around daredevil and villain kingpin. Daredevil man with ethics and pride try to save his city with his supernatural abilities totally convincing. Other side villain perfectly suits actor he has extreme intelligence and no mercy for who comes to his paln to take over his city.,8 "Have you ever read the story about the Emperor's new clothes? It's about two weavers who promise an Emperor a new suit of clothes that is invisible to those unfit for their position, stupid, or incompetent. When the Emperor parades before his subjects in his new clothes, a child cries out, ""But he isn't wearing anything at all!"" A dream within a dream within a dream with Cobb's (played by DiCraprio) wife as an intruder in his subconsciousness, and if something goes terribly wrong you enter the state of Limbo where you're stuck in one's raw subconsciousness. Sounds really deep and complicated, right? It really isn't. The plot of this movie may as well be a new metaphor for those clothes that nobody could see. There isn't a deep philosophical meaning behind it. It's just made sound complicated enough for the viewer to be expected to draw a philosophical meaning and ""understand"" it. The viewer who is able to do that is ""smart enough"". People pretend to extract some philosophical meaning out of it and therefore continue praising it. They do not want to be the ""stupid ones"". The truth is, it is only an OK action movie, it has good fighting scenes and good acting, but is too long for its own good. It's time for people to admit that the Emperor is really naked.",6 "I am watching this film as I write. My father was at Dunkirk. This film is so inaccurate I find it offensive. The RAF flew many missions over northern France, depicting 3 planes was ludicrous. The navy DID NOT withdraw Destroys for later in the war. There was NO loss of discipline. No mention of the gallant French and British defence of the.perimeter. Don't watch this film if you want to know what really happened. An appalling portrayal of the French and British military. By the way my father was one of the 100,000 that got off from the beaches. More than 200,000 got off from the mole.",1 WOW Im still Gathering my senses but Blown Away great show.If you havent seen it you too. THE BEST SEASON ONE HANDS DOWN.,9 I love it all. The only reason i don't give it 10 star is because at some points it can be boring. I did not particularly like s2 but the other seasons make up for it.,9 "What can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said? I do believe that The Godfather: Part II is an example of cinematic gold... Scratch that... Cinematic platinum. Everything, from the acting, story, script, directing, cinematography, sound, lighting; you name it, is perfect. Many people agree with me that Part II is a tad bit better than Part I. However, many people also don't, only because the great Marlon Brando was not in Part II (not including flashbacks). However, a young Robert De Niro made up for Brando's absence to give possibly the best performance of his life as the young Vito Corleone. He also did a great job in delivering the Sicilian dialect of Italian (since that consisted of most of his lines). I cannot go on any further without mentioning spoilers, so I will leave it at this. This movie definitely has to be seen before you die. The length of this movie is actually a good thing, as well. It just draws you into it even more, and time flies without you even noticing. So if you have about 3 1/2 hours of time to watch a great movie, put this on and relive the magic. And if it's your first time watching it (be sure to watch Part I first), then you're in for something magical. There's a reason why this film is preserved in the National Film Registry and the Library of Congress.",10 "It is pretty rare that my opinion of a show differs drastically from that of everyone else. This is one of those few that I simply cannot understand what in the hell people are thinking who like this show. I haven't been so disappointed by a show in a long time. The character development is dull and laborious. The writing is just awful. The story line is clunky and not interesting. And although the acting was hit or miss, the misses were enough to make one nauseous. I gave it a solid effort but literally could not go on after 2.5 episodes. Honestly can't understand the positive reviews. Idk, maybe it's me. See for yourself",3 "They've spent 150 million dollars on some top notch effects, the most cliched storyline you can image, and some bad baaaad directing. Reminiscences go all the way to the middle of the movie, the plot is next to none existing. Couple of hours I forgot I've ever watched this flick. I'm writing this so that Mr. Reynolds stops wasting his talent like this.",4 "I think this is my first review on IMDb, but I needed to write it as the second season just fascinated me . Even if I was not fully convinced by the first season as it had a slow pace and left some things unclear and also had bad acting on some parts, I can say that I am now convinced that this is a 'must watch' show and here is why : great sound and visual effects in both seasons , amazing scenario for the second season , decent for the first one ,improved acting going forward with this show . I am looking forward for the next season because this show has great potential and I believe we have seen only so little of what these superheroes have shown us .",9 "I don't get all the positive reviews for this movie. I found it overlong and I could not find a reason to care about any of the characters. Technically speaking, there was no true heroic character, as it was a bunch of technologically-advanced criminals and their victims. At several points during the movie I was pleading ""Go home! Go home!"" It had a decent idea but I have to think that Rod Serling (RIP) probably could have done a much better job with this and he would have done it in a shorter time. I really think the writers and producers could have made a tighter film with better and more interesting characters. Christopher Nolan did terrific, terrific work with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, but this film is unworthy of its success.",1 "The fact that an aimless, jarring mish mash of swearing, violence, gangsters, foot massages, royale with cheese, accidental shootings, interrogations, robberies, yelling and a load of characters without any actual character being badass defined the 90s show the 90s was a mixed decade from film. Quentin Tarantino's legendary drama thriller is a non linear collection of various story lines. In one, a very bizarre robbery unfolds at a diner. In another, Vincent Vega has to look after his boss' wife for an evening and they dance, she overdoses and they exchange awful jokes from a pilot she was once in. In another, Butch Coolidge gets into a lot of trouble when about to flee LA... all for a watch. And finally, Vincent and Jules assassinate a man, then have to dispose of a corpse after Vincent has an accident involving a gun and their informant. Don't get me wrong: Pulp Fiction is a good enough film it's just very over-hyped. However, you can almost see the sparks flying as the actors deliver that electric dialogue. It's a script that will make all aspiring scriptwriters jealous. Quentin Tarantino's direction is very good as well and the film draws out career best performances from Samuel L Jackson and Bruce Willis. John Travolta and Uma Thurman both rock. There are some good bits: The gold watch speech, the dance, the interrogation, the accidental shooting and some of the Bruce Willis segment showcase the amazing writing. However, many other scenes feel banal and unnecessary. Reservoir Dogs was utterly brilliant, so Tarantino got arrogant and made a bloated 2 and a half hour epic which could have 100 minutes. The film has little personality and lacks any kind of message. There's nothing wrong with that, but if I spend 2 and a half hours of my life watching unnecessary scenes I want there to be a purpose. Pulp Fiction is just too long and self indulgent to be a great film. It has plenty of style and is very well written but it's nothing special. Critics never shut up about modern movies being style over substance, yet this is voted one of the best films ever made when it's exactly that? 6/10",6 The first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows looks tightened and boring. At once it is visible that the most important events prepared for the final. And it is difficult to surprise the person with the movie where the first half of the book is described.,7 "There was a lot in the first episode that should have appealed to me. The main character is a likably nebbishy guy with a fun English accent. He haplessly goes through his days but is aware that something strange is going on. Suddenly he's in the middle of things. All of that sounds great to me. And yet there really wasn't a single moment where I felt engaged by this show. I don't know what it is, it just kind of bored me. It might have helped if there was some action in a superhero series, but the idea seems to be to keep that hidden for now. Which might have worked if those moments were the action was skipped were funnier than they were. I suppose action may come later, but if the goal is to sell me on the first episode and you don't have the action and the characters and story aren't really that interesting then you're not going to sell me. Definitely not for me.",4 "Enjoyed the show very much. Wish there were more episodes, but also glad they didn't put too much filler in. Hopefully there will be a second season. Catherine Zeta Jones made a pretty good Morticia but Angelica Huston is still my favorite. Luis Guzman was not right fit Gomez though. He is more comedy that debonaire and to me doesn't compare to Raul Julia. Jenna Ortega was good at not emoting with her face and just using her eyes. I loved that Christina Ricci had a role too. I did not know that Wednesday was an aspiring crime novelist and the way it was worked into the plot was perfect but easy enough to figure out.",8 "For all the hype behind this film, it was a wet paper bag. The acting was abysmal. It is more dangerous and crowded on Blackpool Beach in September I expected an Epic, heroic film and got a half good singer and poor execution by the directors, writers, actors. I was shocked",2 """Avatar The Way of Water"" boasts dazzling visual effects... and sadly, that's the sole redeeming quality this film can muster. The plot is a mind-numbing bore, following a shallow and predictable path from beginning to end. After about 5 minutes you know what's gonna happen in the rest of the movie. The theme revolves around the tired clash of nature versus technology (how incredibly original!), repeating much of the first film but worse. There are zero surprises or innovative or unique storytelling ideas. Instead, it's all just regrettably formulaic and unoriginal, failing to offer even a grain of depth, originality or wit. Without exception, every single character populating the screen is cliché, boring, and flat: The hero dad, the rebellious son, the emotional daughter, the sadistic bad guy, and of course the unbearably constantly smiling (even under water) nature-loving savages .... Wait, it get's worse! Because unfortunately the characters speak: the dialogue is so aggravatingly tedious and dim-witted, that it makes you want to innerly scream. The lines sound as if they had been written by dyslexic six-year-olds trying to sound cool (""yeah bro!""). Alas, throughout the entire movie not a single original or intelligent thought is uttered. Scene after scene the audience is tortured by a slew of one-dimensional torrid mush, drowned in an overload of meaningless special effects... and to make things worse it's even really long at 3 hours runtime! In Summary: Barring the big budget, this film would have struggled to rise above C- or B-movie rank. Save your time and money, avoid this film like genital herpes, and instead do something comparatively more intelligent or interesting with your life, like watching paint dry on a wall, or observing laundry tumbling in a washing machine...!",2 "About ten years ago romantic comedy started to merge with raunchy comedy – an early example was ""There's Something About Mary"" after which I've never felt quite the same about hair gel. Judd Apatow as writer, producer and director has become a deft exponent of the resulting amalgam, though in this case he and the gang (Nicholas Stoller, director, Jason Segal, writer and lead actor, and others) have not been quite as deft as they were in ""Knocked Up"", which had a semi-serious plot. Here we have Apatow lite. Peter (Jason Segal), a rather ineffectual, self absorbed composer of TV show music whose improbably glamorous girlfriend of five years, the eponymous Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), suddenly leaves him for Aldous (Russell Brand), an English rock star with a vast ego and voracious sexual appetite. Peter takes a vacation at the Turtle Bay resort in Oahu, Hawaii and guess who's there too? Yes, it's Sarah and Aldous, noisily in the next suite. Rachel (Mila Kunis), the gorgeous desk clerk at Turtle Bay, unaccountably takes an interest in Peter, who is overweight, depressed and generally unappetizing. But things bump along from there and there are plenty of funny scenes, before the denouement, which involves a rock opera production of Dracula using puppets. A number of the actors are from US television and handle the challenge of parodying their TV roles very well, Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis in particular. The absurdly pretentious Aldous is given some of the sharper lines, which has the effect of making the rest of the cast look pretty dumb. But the laughs keep coming. Like ""Seinfield"", it is a comedy about nothing (almost) but the lines are good and the scenery is nice. Turtle Beach Resort will be happy. We didn't get to see turtles breeding though, despite them being ""in season"". Apatow and co are entertaining, if somewhat on the slight side, and the raunch is kept under control, despite Apatow's determination to remind us of the importance of the penis.",7 "Essentially an excellent special effects movie. Beautiful to watch and 3D did nothing to add to film. No character development. We don't really know who they are(Clooney/Bullock). Pretty much all dialogue with a helmet on. At the end of the movie I felt deflated because I didn't know the characters and who they were. Just immediately jump into special effects and a lot of heart pounding but that's it. Poster picture for staying on terra firma. But there needed to be a build up to the accident and a development of the 2 actors in the film so we know have a vested emotional interest. In my theater I became deaf during previews so I may have missed some important dialogue but I doubt it. Wait for video.",7 "I saw this movie several times before the pandemic of 2019. For me there was too many parallels from a 2011 fiction pandemic to a modern day pandemic. There is the usual Hollywood exaggerated scenes. There's a scene where a popular doctor is giving a interview on a newscast. And this doctor is doing this same interview now. There's the social distancing, hand washing and contact tracing information. The worst of human nature is shown between rich, politically connected individuals who gets the vaccination or the poor that does not. This film challenged the various government agencies in giving out accurate information to the public. I think if you previously saw this movie and re-watch this movie your views might definitely change.",4 "*** Momma used to say if you haven't seen this movie, skip the second paragraph, 'cause it's got some of 'dem magic spoilers *** Maybe my inner cynic finally got to me. I've seen ""Forrest Gump"" about seven or eight times altogether, and these last few viewing experiences left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. A few years ago I praised this film for being delightful, warm, inspiring, epic, etc. It was one of my top-ten favorite films. I loved it. I watched it again last night and was struck by how smug, contrived and self-conscious it is. It's almost sickeningly sweet - it's a fantasy (as I've always said) and all the characters live their lives to suit the story. I loved the poetic justice before - now it's kind of insulting. The character of Jenny is, story-wise, a nice addition because all fairy tales have the hero and his girl. The setup is firm because it presents her as the only girl of Forrest's life, the one person who accepts him for who he is - as she grows up and changes he's always there for her. The ending is a nice full circle. But the fact that the film kills her off is too righteous. It's like, ""Hey, she did the sex, she did the drugs - SHE DIES! Who cares if she had a change of heart? She's a filthy skank!"" Forrest's ""Momma"" is a right-wing Christian fanatical who has an obsessive hold over Forrest. She's a bit like the mother in ""Bubble Boy,"" except in this films she's presented as a hero. And finally we come to Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump. Last year I thought it was one of the all-time best performances in any film. Now, I can barely stand listening to him. It's all so smug and annoyingly sweet. ""Would you like a choc'-uh-lut?"" You feel like slapping the guy. Then taking his darn ""walkin' shoes"" and throwing them in a pool of gasoline and lighting them on fire. Along with his box of chocolates. Forrest's smug attitude is a bit too self-knowing for my tastes. It's like he's saying a big screw-you to all the people who disagree. He's Uncle Sam's Favorite American - the dumb guy who was too stoo-pid to say no to the government, and in return was awarded with millions of dollars and a happy, content life. All the Vietnam protesters were pigs, praise America. As far as ""retard"" characters go, Dustin Hoffman is still my favorite. Leonardo DiCaprio in ""What's Eating Gilbert Grape?"" is really good, too. But Hanks' performance is just a bit too self-confident and mugging - it's too damn innocent and naive. As I said, this used to be one of my very favorite movies. I loved it. It used to move me to tears at times. (Well, almost, anyway.) But I guess I've given my inner cynic too much room to grow - now I see it as a smug, annoying little journey through America's pop culture - with a message at its core that says, ""Don't mess with America - or you'll get the Gump."" America has enough blind love going already.",6 "I never read the Witcher books because I prefer to play The Witcher on the Playstation. I'm really looking forward to season 2 and hope it will be similar to the gameplay. The first season wasn't bad, but I'm looking forward to the second season.",7 "I think my headline pretty much sums it up. It's super predictable, no character development and the bad guy wears ridiculous suits. Go watch Avengers.",1 "...read up on premise after first ep and found out its the supernatural at play which bores me senseless. If you don't mind that it's probably a good watch.",5 "This 3.5 hour long movie, which could have been told in under 2 hours, is an over-indulgent piece of garbage. 90% of this movie is back-and-forth shots of people having conversations. it doesn't feel like there is any directorial impact on this movie whatsoever. this guy is directing as if he only has the tools and arsenal available in the 1960s. with the exception of de-aging effects and 4k HDR video quality, this movie could have been made in the 60s. scorcese is using a beeper when everyone else has smart phones. he's using a type-writer instead of a PC. get with the times man. do something creative or different. AND STOP MAKING 3.5 HOUR LONG MOVIES. i promise i gave this a legit chance. and even tho i completely disagreed with his super hero movie comments, it did not affect my opinion of this movie. having said that, it wouldn't make me sad in the least bit if there was never another movie like this one. i would rather watch a garbo superhero movie than go through this boredom again. (1 viewing, 2/15/2020)",2 "Michael Bay's 6 Underground has every single crash, bang and wallop any desensitised moviegoer could possibly ask for. Everything about this film is a vicious assault on the senses akin to the D-Day invasion of Normandy. I swear that every noise of the universe is in this 'movie'. An expensive advert for Alfa Romeo, 6 Underground is barely a movie; despite a strong opening sequence, the film is completely riddled with all the typical trademarks of a classically trashy Michael Bay picture, complete with gratuitous violence, loud explosions, choppy editing, disastrous dialogue and a threadbare story. Before you say anything, I know exactly what I expect of Bay and his brainless movies. His projects are not hard to enjoy if you leave your brain at the door before watching. However, there was something so off about this, something so deeply vulgar and crass, that I just couldn't enjoy it even when I did switch off. I can only just about bring myself to give 6 Underground a maximum of two stars for the flashy cars and the normally dependable Ryan Reynolds and Melanie Laurent. But it's still a deeply unpleasant experience with all the subtlety of a magnitude 9 earthquake; for that reason and the other reasons above, this film should be buried deep underground for all eternity.",2 "Really from a pure entertainment standpoint I didn't care for it. It did not educate me as to why the army was at Dunkirk in the first place and really I didn't care much for any of the characters. It was like being dropped into the chase scene of a Fast and Furious with out any explanation of how you got there. I agree it is a fine piece of work with some good performances sprinkled throughout but was somehow lacking even there. It was even hard to accept given the visuals that there were enough boats to extract 10000 instead of the actual 300000 that were alluded to. Can't say I would recommend it to any of my friends as an entertainment experience, only maybe as a interesting example of technical film making.",4 Lazy story and dreadful overreacting make this TV movie silliness hard to watch. The only reason you'll watch it to the end is Jackson at least looks like he's having some fun.,3 "The original GOT, right off the bat you're introduced to memorable and intriguing characters like Tyrion Lannister, Little Finger, Varys, Lord Stannis, Tywin, Cersei and Jaime, Robert Baratheon, Prince Geoffrey, and on and on. House of Dragons is another bland woke/feminist trope. The storyline is stale and you can easily guess what's coming next. There's no humor like Tyrion and Theon Greyjoy provided in GOT. There are no real backstories to any of the main characters. House of Dragon does not show what life is like for any of the other 7 kingdoms outside of King's Landing and it does a poor job at that as well. The entire premise of the show is to show how women were ""held back"" and ""oppressed"" and why the rebellion of the modern woman is justified. That's it and that's all. A very unclever brainwashing. There's nothing deep or creative about it. It's living off the previous GOT hype.",3 "Interstellar tells the story of the fight for the survival of Earth after a global catastrophe destroys almost all food sources for humans. While humans are trying to rebuild, it is clear that it is a losing battle. But NASA, which has gone underground, is meanwhile scouting other possible worlds to colonize before it's too late. The best points is that from a technical standpoint, it's an incredible movie. The space travel, the post-catastrophe planet Earth (all very difficult things to pull off) look so astounding believable you forget that there are any special effects in the movie. In an era with so much bad CGI even in big budget films, this is quite an achievement. Now the bad parts: most of the ""science"" in the film is pure fantasy - when they try to explain the harder parts of it, it is just illogical gobbledygook that you just have to swallow... they may as well not even have tried and gone for the full Matrix treatment. Although the story ideas are good, the characters are pretty shallow (you only learn the background of one character and it's not much) and all of them are way too selfish to sympathize with. They were not just flawed, but hateful. Christopher Nolan rightly believed that this was the most important element of the film and sadly it fell flat. The missing story of the characters also is there for the Earth. What happened? Where are all the animals? Is there more to Earth than that one town and farm we see over and over again. And yet the film is over three hours long. In the end, although I enjoyed the film in parts, it's not one I will watch over and over again. Definitely see it in the cinemas though if you get the chance!",6 "And I mean slow. I am half way through season 3 out of 5, and barely anything has happened. It's almost like the creators decided from Day 1, that this show would conclude 15 years after Season 1, Episode 1. The pacing is horrible. I don't mind a slow burn, but this show burns so slowly that it's making me angry. I feel as though the show is slow to ensure revenue for a long time, rather than for story telling purposes. Disappointing really. The concept and story are interesting. But a blow by blow, month by month telling of a hero's journey is horrible.",6 For (mostly) better or worse this sequel is quite different from the first avenger. Better: the plot is much more sophisticated with the feel of a spy thriller and a villain on the ground presenting an almost compelling contemporary case (especially with the controversial power of the cia these days). Worse: the lack of a strong emotional center in the cap that the first film had.,6 "Honestly This Movie Should Of Been Made Only for Adults. It Had Good Dark Humour to It at Times but I Think it did need the Blood and Guts to be Better. It Felt like it was Pulling Punches all of the Time due to the Rating of the Film. It had a Great Idea Though. Pros: ° The Theme and Dark Humour Felt Perfect. ° Venom Looked Impressive. ° The Dialogue between Venom and Eddie Was Smartly Done. ° The Story is Serviceable. Cons: ° The Lack Of Graphic Blood felt like they were pulling punches in every action scene. ° The Turd in the Wind is not Funny. ° The Battles looked unclear sometimes. Overall, because of the obvious down play on the violence, It took away from the theme of the whole movie. It would of been a much better movie with the Violence. So in the end it felt Lacklustre.",5 "Happy valley is a BBC series about a Yorkshire tough policewoman with a disfunctionel family and guess what she is raising her grandson.

Would you save a frozen, 3-legged cat? Who was Tim Kono? If you have ever sat around your home thinking about these things wonder no more.

So if you want to get hooked on an enjoyable series staring Steve-Martin-Short and Selena Gomez watch ""Only Murders in the Building"".",9 "I don't want to be so negative like the film critics, but this is a big disappointment for me watching being a film fanatic. I don't think anyone who loved 'Harry Potter' film series would thumb this new beginning. This is not like 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' from the same universe, but different trilogies. I was excited for something like that, as a concept wise, for the fresh tale from from the fresh characters in the same universe. I don't know about the book version, but the film did not click for me. It had a bunch of nice characters, and to set in the Harry Potter universe, really it should have been a masterpiece. The major drawback was the story. There's nothing to appreciate the screenplay. It's about some creatures from the magical world got out in the human world, just like 'Jumanji'. So our hero struggles to recapture them. Meanwhile, some others too involved in and the reason will be revealed in the final stage. Nice casting and great visuals. I won't point out its director's fault, because he has done his duty very well. He's also will be the man behind the rest of the sequels. I think it deserved the Oscars for the costume design. Not a bad film, particularly for the kids. Comparing it with the Harry Potter franchise makes it a worst film, but independently it is an okay film. So the initiation was average, but I'm still expecting the follow ups to be much better. 5/10",5 """The Trail"" is a web series that draws inspiration from the Good wife but has nuances of popular legal dramas like ""Boston Legal"" and ""Suits."" While it leans more towards being a drama than a strictly legal series, the performances of Kajol and Aly Khan shine brightly. The storyline revolves around a cheating scandal involving a lawyer, blending elements of family drama into the narrative. On a rating scale, I would give it a 6. The plot centers around the acceptance of cheating in a semi-modern society like India, juxtaposed with deep-rooted traditions-an intriguing irony. Some episodes offer engaging storylines, but it's hard to ignore the strong resemblance to ""Suits"" and ""Boston Legal."" Unfortunately, the acting of the junior lawyer is subpar and can be quite annoying. One notable oddity is how the kids hide the crucial piece of evidence, adding a layer of suspense. While the direction is commendable, the script could have been better structured, and the series could have explored more innovative approaches. Despite its flaws, ""The Legal Code"" manages to deliver moments of intrigue and keeps viewers entertained throughout. Average one time watch !",6 "Alex Garland's latest scientific mumbo jumbo creation with full of deterministic nonsense that doesn't make any sense at all. Boring, confusing and very slow, I mean like really really slow. I liked the Jesus part though.",2 My favorite character is number 5 (Aidan Gallagher) by far. The best of this series is the cliffhangers and the plot twists. Most characters are flat or forced into the plot-line. The only reason I watched this season was due to the cliffhangers.,8 The realism throughout the series was great. Loved getting to know these characters better. But thought the flag smashers could have been more compelling.,9 Best show EVER!!! Do I need to really say anymore other then HURRY UP :),9 "I didn't understand anything except when i read about it , !!!!!!",4 "Damn how is that possible? Its sooooo F boring, pure garbage. I needed 3-4 sessions to watch until 1h 33min and im a goddamn marvel freak ^^ maybe its gonna be better but i dont think ...",3 "This movie...I, personally, wanted to see it just to have a good time, as the parts that I saw of it were funny. The movie starts good, is funny in the beginning with Bill Murray and the japs. But after 40 minutes, you start to get tired. The story is about two people who are in tokyo for business, not as tourists, and they both are bored and wish they weren't there. They come together and try to have some fun. OK, good story, but Sofia has concentrated so much on showing how bored and sad these two are that makes you bored too. As I said, it starts very good and goes good for some time but then you get tired of seeing Bill Murray's so bored face (his face doesn't change at all!) or Scarlett Johansson's sad face and you start to feel like them. I came out of the theater a bit depressed probably because I was hoping to see a comedy. If you want to see a comedy, this is not the one. I give it 7 out of 10.",6 "Weirdly good in its Netflix originality. Unevenly paced and very well shot, it offers a non-traditional insight into a super-hero sub-universe. Sharp-witted, too.",8 "This is the work of a professional. Ron Howard knows how to manipulate us. Here's the important scene at the start. Here's the big moment, etc. Here it comes the music to help you cry or feel. But in the end, its soulless. Even if Crowe tries, this just wasn't a man. This was an edited life of a real man. Edited enough for you to like him without trying to really understand a troubled man and his problems. Because its ""well done"" it gets a five. But it doesn't elevates beyond average.",5 "Very lethargic and slow, only positive was the picture was great and top lineup of stars from young and older.

Jim Carrey seems to know too much about making movies and this really prevents him to become the character. He can play the shy guy, he can play the little infant. However he's still not playing the man in love. He looks anxious but yet not passionate, not moved deep inside. He just knows how to look good and that's it. To the Academy members, please don't nominate Mr Carrey. He's got a long way to go before he reaches a convincing drama role. Kauffman's screenplay is amazing. At times it reaches the same level of complexity and absurdity than Woody Allen's stories. And this should be taken as a compliment. I wish him lots of his books produced. Great story, if only Lacuna Inc exists...",5 """Kung Fu Hustle"" is a movie-lovers movie. It is also a nearly perfect film. A terrific parody of action-film making—past and present—while at the same time being just as slick and glossy as those modern films themselves. There are plenty of computer- generated special effects, but Chow choreographs some brilliant, straight-ahead stuff as well, with plain old stop-action and clever cutting to thrill us, not just with the slam bam, but with the pleasure of a subtly used camera as well. Some, but by no means all, of the films and film styles that Chow simultaneously roasts and pays homage too include, in order of most heavily drawn from include: Sergio Leone's ""Once Upon A Time In The West,"" the Italian director's broad, operatic, and slightly surreal epic of good, evil, and revenge in frontier America. The so-called ""Chinese sword movie"" of the late 60's and early 70's. This genre is not to be confused with the pale and anemic contemporary versions, such as ""Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon."" The Taiwanese productions of the earlier era were meant strictly for Chinese audiences. Only a few dedicated art houses and the public theaters in the Chinatowns of America's big cities ever showed these films. They had plenty of razzle dazzle and fantasy-style fight scenes; but the plots of these early Asian films were complex and clearly drawn from the rich Chinese mythology, with literary-quality characterizations, themes and plot construction. The slapstick and pratfall-laden ""action comedies"" of the silent era—typified best of course, by the films of Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd. Chuck Jones and his classic Roadrunner cartoons—brilliantly recreated in a live-action sequence that had me doubled over on the floor. Contemporary, humorless, overly-special-effects-driven drivel like ""The Matrix,"" and the afore-mentioned ""Crouching Tiger."" The wonderful musicals of Fred Astair. And if the homage isn't clear, there is actually a scene where two actors are locked in a villain/victim embrace in front of a poster advertising an Astair/Rogers flick in which the postures of the two dancers parallel the ones in the foreground—a treat of directorial reference that lasts but a few seconds. The films of independent director Hal Hartley—where characters are suddenly and inexplicably (and briefly) placed in a chorus line for a brief dance that is essentially unrelated to the film. Gangster movies of the forties, and--at least in once scene—""The Godfather."" Chow even manages to work some heart (not to say sentimentality) into a story that is mostly satiric. Stephen Chow wrote, directed, produced and starred in this thing—a real wonder boy and a true heir to Chaplin, Keaton, and Harold Lloyd. If you don't like this film, you haven't been to the movies enough.",10 "Now that the hysteria has died down, it's time to revisit this movie. First, Daniel Day-Lewis is playing the same role, movie after movie. I couldn't help but think of his performance in Gangs of New York (as Bill Cutting) as I watched this picture. He makes what he does appear so effortless that it is a pleasure to see him on screen, but giving him an Oscar for this picture is not too different from giving John Wayne an Oscar for True Grit. Second, there is no character development. We don't know why Day-Lewis is in the desert, what started him prospecting, what got him interested in oil, or what happens to him during the years the movie glosses over. There is no rational explanation for why he turns out the way he does. (Am trying to avoid spoilers.) The movie does not make sense. Sorry to disappoint you . . . . One good thing: It is not a Coen Brothers film, and lacks the pretense of their films.",3 "This movie had a lot of potential with such a stacked cast and an interesting premise. But it's just not a well told story. The characters were not well developed and I couldn't bring myself to really care about them. The story jumps around constantly. There's some bad horror-movie-logic with no explaination - I really thought this movie wouldve been better than that. All in all, was hard to care about this movie and it didn't take long before I gave up on it.",5 Just simple. Not too flashy with just old school mission based story lines. People are setting the bar too high for extreme powers. Yes the villains are not that strong and yes the armour is less gadgety. It does not matter. Very enjoyable.,8 The whole movie looks like a commercial. The actions sequences look fake and confusing. Michael Bay should learn some lessons from Christopher McQuarrie or Chad Stahelski.,1 "How can such a graphically violent, inane movie with its unhurried pace, sparse dialogue, completely dull, unappealing & one-dimensional characters, and gapingly devoid unresolved plot lines be so completely engaging, rich and complete keeping you on the edge of your seat? Cause maybe it's like life itself? Must be cause Fargo is 100% tremendous in its simplistic yet beautiful impact. Watch it again & again. Weird, wild, wonderful!",9 "2nd Star is only because I like some of the music. Was not captivated at all in this movie. I mean I didn't think Gaga was bad, but did she really have to do much acting? I felt like the cut 5 hours of footage into 2 hours and 15 minutes with all of the random short scenes. Just not believable. No substance. Hated that she started out with a power ballad then ended up doing trash pop like so many artists today. Just disappointed. Didn't feel the emotion everyone else did.",2 Must must watch movie best in class supererb best direction best acting edge of the seat thriller 👌 not even a single boring moment in the movie,10 "This movie epitomises the shallow treatment of rural America which Hollywood churns out time after time. And it's directed by a brit! Pay your $12, sit still and shut up whilst one of your former imperial overlords explains to you, very slowly, why you stink. Billy Bob Thornton has written about this type of movie (not this exact one as far as I know) and he's right. It does nothing to advance mutual understanding or art, which is surprising because this is from the maker if the superb In Bruges. I thought this would be a good film. It isn't. It's the opposite of Sling Blade. That film dealt with broadly similar topics and situations but was ten times more powerful because it had truth and love running all the way through it. This film is totally hollow and 2 years from now nobody will remember it.",3 "Don't understand why it's so hard to find real russian-speaking actors for this. otherwise, just don't make it at all. genghis khan played by john wayne. a half-asian played by emma stone. cultural appropriation lives on..",1 "visual effect and surround effect really nice on this movie. worth to watch in cinema. when the movie end, i have the feeling ""y end so fast!!!!!"". recommend watch this movie on over 20 feet screen. if i watch this movie on a 60"" TV, i may just give it 6/10. George Clooney appear not much time in this movie. more like a supporting actor then main actor. even waste his handsome face, most scene he is in helmet. actually based on all the movie i watched before about Sandra Bullock. her acting style ""act same/similar on all the movie"" but if u ask me, any other big female movie star can act the same role in ""gravity"" and better then Sandra bullock, i would say not sure, may be she already the best choice. or may be Angelina jolia or may be Jessica Lawrence can handle the role better? i hope this movie will have sequel. if have sequel i think i will watch in imax 3d.",7 "Marvel movies seem to have lost their pizazz after being subjugated by Disney. Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Mediocrity is perfectly fine if you are a child, not concerned with a discernible plot or intelligent storytelling, and easily satisfied by vacuous CGI action sequences. America Chavez is the most boring character to ever exist in a superhero movie. You would think that after 73 jumps to various multiverses she would have bothered to explore the extent of her powers or even tried to locate her mothers. Of course, the movie would have only lasted less than 30 minutes if she was not the hapless damsel in distress.",4 "Is it good? It's pretty good. Better than the first, a step back from Annabelle: Creation. Is it scary? If you like jump scares. The movie is creepy and time is taken to build some dread before the scary stuff starts happening, but most of the frights are not memorable enough to stay on your mind after the movie is over. Props to the Ferry Man though, anything involving him was the most interesting part of the movie to me. Should you watch it? If you're looking for a spooky movie that keeps things very basic. At times Annabelle Comes Home felt less like a cohesive narrative and more like a series of scary things happening with little in between. Teenagers doing dumb things is a major theme here, and some people are understandably tired of that trope. I don't mind it, but it doesn't exactly make me excited, either. The ending was a bit anticlimactic, I was surprised by how simple it was. That kinda goes for the movie as a whole. It's decent, but I was hoping for more.",6 "If I had kids, this is the kind of show I'd want to watch with them. It reminds me of a really good, solid, Disney series. Visually it was very cool. Plot was interesting & fun. But the Robinsons have CONSTANT problems. As soon as one problem is fixed & everything is calm, then another problem is literally right around the corner. It was constant: Problem, solution, problem solution. The Dad is cheesy & I don't care for him. But the kids, I love! Their acting is great. Each of their personalities really make the show! I enjoyed the second season as I feel they added more depth to the show & to the characters which I really enjoyed. For some reason it was very easy to binge. I finished both seasons on a lazy Saturday & Sunday. I enjoy the humor, but again, it's very ""Disney-like"" to me. Looking forward to S3! I'd recommend this to my friends who have kids or my friends who are looking for more of a light hearted space show.",7 "Be advised, Abrahamic themes discussed here. Technicals aside, Avatar is Cameron's take on how the biblical Book of Joshua might play out allegorically, but reversed and depicted in SF terms. Imagine a fantasy where the alien enemies of some fantastical, space-faring ""Israel"" nation have the righteousness and might of the true deity on their side. In his cinematic brilliance, Cameron shows just how that futuristic ""Israel"" is brought to its knees by its pagan targets. The humans are snarkily depicted as claiming the superior means and values, but in this fantasy they are THE god-forsaken, rapacious foreigners - in the eyes of the aliens. The Na'vi represent a fantastic, figurative version of the Anakite giants (Anakite: long-neck) of the biblical land of Canaan, metaphorically represented here by Pandora. Since the movie is from the traitor's and aliens' POV (Sully: ""Excuse me, this is my video log here!""), there is no attribution to a divine hand behind this metaphorical Israelite army. OTOH, it is a force which does possess a thematic proxy for the Hebrew deity, in the form of unimaginable - to the aliens - advantages in armaments, high technology, and organization. Not coincidentally, the human army is depicted transiting the wilderness of space from a blighted Earth (Egypt) while subsisting on in-flight rations (manna), bent on an overarching mission to seek their race's survival and future prosperity by winning the rights to the promised rock (land) of Pandora (Canaan). The idea of ""Israel"" as the divinely favored people is allegorized as an unobtainable ""Rock"" aka ""UnObtainium"". Which is precisely Cameron's point, and likely motivation. Jake Sully is an ex-Marine (figurative Israelite warrior) with crippled legs and is figurative of OT unbelievers ""undercut"" by the Israelis. His role as traitor-to-be is strongly predicted by this. After being forced to take a swim (biblical Jordan) by the nasty wildlife (biblical ""land swallows up people and things""), he meets Na'vi princess Neytiri, a figurative stand-in for the ravishingly beautiful biblical Rahab. In this tale, Neytiri's/Rahab's character is uplifted into a stalwart and loyal Na'vi (biblical Canaanite) princess in a reversal of the historical role the fearful prostitute played in hiding the two Israelite spies sent to scout Jericho by Joshua. Cameron's version of Rahab also plays a secondary role as the infamous Moabite sex-princess but in reverse, one who instead carries out the orders of a pagan king (paralleling the biblical advice of Balaam to the Canaanite King Balak to confront Israel indirectly) to seduce an Israeli warrior into betraying his own nation. Instead of getting speared in the act with said enemy (biblical Zimri incident) as in the original story, this Rahab-cum-sex-princess gets to turn the tables by spearing the enemy commander (biblical Joshua). Her character ends as stand-in for the ancient pagan war-goddess Neith/Anat - she of nakedly aggressive beauty and skill with bow and arrow. Among other things, Pandora/Canaan's magical floating mountains stand for the biblical mountaintops from where biblical King Balak and Balaam attempted to hex their Israelite enemies. Not to mention the high places where biblical Israelis would not only practice worship but more importantly seal holy covenants, or marriages between entities. The off-site Avatar link couch assigned by Dr. Augustine to Sully is tellingly named ""Beulah"", which means ""Israel"" or ""married"" in Hebrew. The elder chief scientist's age and expertise in botany marks her character as figurative of the first spy team tasked by Moses to scout Canaan's agriculture. Sully is buddied in a paired spy team, just as in the original story. We are not even touching on details about the ancient Canaanite mother goddess Asherah, associated with the living tree and fertility and child-sacrifice rites, the inexplicable RDA attempt to burn the alien columns unless they were heeding the advice of certain OT Hebrew prophets. Other reverses/parallels abound. The treasonous RDA science team almost directly parallels the biblical ten faithless spies of Moses's 12-man spy team, of whom only Joshua (figured by Colonel Quaritch here) and Caleb proved strong and faithful (Colonel to initially-zealous Sully: ""I wish I had ten more like you""). Then there are the 12 human sectors corresponding to the biblical distribution of land among ancient Israel's nominal twelve tribes. Jake Sully as a traitorous refiguring of the biblical Caleb who in this revision meets Princess Neytiri (biblical Rahab) at Hometree (Jericho) which eventually falls to the circling human army (Walls and trumpets). Then there's the alien wildlife communicating with the indigenes (Balaam's biblically hilarious donkey). Oh, and up there is a naked and feathered Jake with a crown of thorns sailing the sky on the back of a serpent-tailed red dragon-beast, holding at times a serpentine twist of hair-fiber and looking for all the world like your typical reincarnation of the ancient Canaanite gods Astaroth/Ashtoreth. Pagans rejoice! As for the biblical Ark which brought down Jericho's walls on the seventh run after circling the city 6 times, figuratively substitute Shuttle 1-6 and its humongous daisycutter bomb as proxy for the presence and power of the Hebrew deity. Watch as Cameron delightfully orchestrates the on screen failure of the daisycutter/Ark to deliver the final providential blow, while the supposedly unaligned Eywa-cum-mother-earth (Neytiri/Rahab/Neith: ""Our Great Mother does not take sides Jake"") finally does the Abrahamic God divine intervention routine. It's pagan catnip, I tell you. BTW, check out the humorous Cheesus reference when Parker (figurative Eleazar) searches the holotank for Sector 12 (figurative of the 12th tribe of Benjamin, from whence Jesus and 11 of the apostles came) and exclaims, ""Where .. Stop. Jesus... ...I mean, look at all that cheddar."" Marvelously mocking word-play. If today's neopagans could somehow revise the original OT story into a fantastical triumph for the Canaanites in place of their historical defeat and conquest by Israelites, this movie would be their gift. It seems Cameron speaks for all vanquished pagans, voicing ghostly wishes from beyond the grave for what could have been but never was. Excellent movie-making, though.",3 "3 Episodes in and I am officially hooked! This adaptation of the book is practically perfect. The casting choices are great and seem to fit very well, the vibe of the whole show is very similar to what I imagined whilst reading the books, and I am enthralled. It has an intensity that leaves a feeling in your chest as you watch just waiting for the next moment. The scenery is beautiful, the dialogue feels completely right, and even the musical choices seem to fit as though it was just meant to be. I cannot wait to see the rest of the season and would highly recommend it for anyone who is a fan of the books and for those who haven't read them; I honestly can't see how anyone wouldn't enjoy this programme!",10 "To be honest, it has almost no actual plot. And that's just fine. It's just about one characters development and how a Super Cub helps & changes them. It's the closest the Seinfeld's ""a show about nothing"" that I've seen a slice of life anime get. Crisp & detailed art. Beautiful sound design. Simply a joy to watch and nearly impossible to describe to someone and make them eager to watch.",9 "WandaVision fascinated me from the very first episode, because it did something completely outside of the usual Marvel box, and I couldn't wait to see more. I loved the slow burn because it was obvious that it was going to big bada boom in a spectacular fashion. And by the end I couldn't get enough of it. But this one had the complete opposite effect. I ignored my misgivings towards who I consider to be the most boring, uninteresting Avenger (Falcon) and the equally boring ""babyface"" Winter Soldier (much better as a heel), and I went into this with an open mind. I was interested to see Zemo back because I'm a Bruhl fan, even Emily VC. Unfortunately that was not meant to be. By halfway through I was already feeling drowsy and was ready to turn it off. I'll spare you the spoilers, but too much uninteresting over-done drama that we've already seen too much of in the MCU. Whoever claims the first episode is action-packed is clearly watching something else. And who on earth did that awful CGI?? I should've stuck with my original plan to wait until the entire series has aired so I can marathon it instead, and fast forward to the next episode if one got too bleh. Well, at least we still got Loki to look forward to.",5 "Ohh oh something big is coming to the screens of the boys and it's going to be mark my words every ounce of it in addition is going to be the epic combination we've all been waiting for, seeing gen v is the ultimate intro to the next upcoming season of the great one in a blue moon series by amazon the boys, with the installation of new growing brand new characters to spice up the premier all that just keep my heat burning for more this is something worth the anticipation that so far so good they won't disappoint with what's coming stay tuned for what's coming to life in the world of the boys .",8 "10s and 9s I did think was so good, I did not find it funny or original, only if you like the main character watch it",5 "The desi contingent does get a look-in: Hooda as the not-quite-sure-which-side-he's-on is watchable as always, Jaiswal as the terrified companion-on-the-run settles into his groove after an initial fumble or two, Tripathi comes in for a flash.

IN DVDs subtitles may be available Actors: Abhishek Bachan, Iswarya Rai, Madhavan, Vidya Balan and Mithun Chakrvarthy. Direction: Maniratnam. Maniratanam is always fascinated by morally ambiguous characters and such morally ambiguous characters are the main protagonists in some of his films. His Thalapathi is of a mafia pair. Nayakan is on Bombay slum don. Guru is on robber baron. The screen play is excellent and the production values are of international standard. The photography is a delight to see and the music by Rahman was as usual full of rhythm. The first song “Nannari” by the female protagonist is much better than “Jodi” song later. Iswarya Rai – herself and her dancing are feasts to the eye. Bachan runs through the role competently. The cameo roles of Madhavan, vidya Balan and Mithun chkravarthy are powerful. ----SPOILERS HERE I have a quarrel with the denouement. Guru was hauled up before a commission based on the exposure by the newspaper baron (Mithun) and his journalist (Madhavan). Guru gives a reply to the inquiry in spite of his stroke; what you can derogatorily call “Bashan”. He starts “another man broke the law years back but I am not a Mahatma”. He has the audacity to compare himself with Gandhi. Gandhi broke the laws which he perceived unjust to the Indians not surreptitiously but openly giving notice to the government, Gandhi did not use either strong arm or soft arm tactics on the officers to get his way. Guru also gives a populist reason that earlier in his life getting rich has been only for rich people and the establishment is jealous that an ordinary middle class man tries to become rich. He also spouts the highly populist view of third world corporations beating the first world corporations. At the beginning of the inquiry Guru’s wife who speaks for Guru requests the commission chairman to talk in Tamil (I saw the Tamil version of the film) as she and her husband are village people and do not know much English. What hypocrisy? Ultimately the inquiry commission sets him free with a fine of only 63 lakhs. In the final scene Guru claims that his empire belongs to the shareholders who also became rich in the process and his business has become the top in India and will also become a top class organization in the World. This is all usual libertarian crap from the mouth of a corrupt businessman. This film gives wrong message to the youth. It is OK to break the laws as long as you are successful. At least in Nayakan there is a suspicion of some remorse. At the end of the film Nayakan, his grandchild asks him “are you a good man or a bad man”. Nayakan replies “I do not know”. Guru succeeded during the environment of License Raj. Then the government (read high level officers) had hand in all matters and it is therefore necessary and easier to corrupt morally weak officers. Because of this also Guru did not face any competition. . But once liberalization started and competition increased I don’t think if Guru has now started his business with his morally ambiguous views, he would have survived. It is during this liberal period great organizations like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Satyam Bajaj Auto, TVS etc came up fast with perhaps minimum shenanigans. GURU is an excellent film with a wrong pernicious message. ----spoilers end",8 "Bad acting of Lady Gaga. They could have shortened the movie. It was very slow with scenes that were pointless. The couple, Lady Gaga - Bradley Cooper have bad chemistry. No intense between them, almost emotionless. The end didn't satisfied me. The whole movie has a bunch of pointless discussions and singing scenes. I have to admit that the songs are the only thing that worth. So 5/10 just because of the songs. It was a nice try, but the movie doesn't deserve 8/10.",5 "This movie is one I will only watch once. As one reviewer here posted, this movie has no depth to it. Almost the entire movie is full of jokes. Visual effects were very good. But the storyline was boring and disappointing. Definitely not of the caliber and at par with other of the recent MARVEL movies.",3 "This film had the potential to be one of the all-time greats. The way the story drags the viewer along into the confused perspective of the main character is engaging and effective. However, with such poor dialogue, such forced acting, and such unbelievable characters, the end result is a film that is incapable of drawing-in much of its audience. The dialogue was trite, unnatural, and forced, and the characters were developed in such a way that as a viewer, I felt I had seen each of them before in countless school-boy films. From the first second you were introduced to these characters, you knew what they represented. It is incomprehensible how a writer could develop such a multi-dimensional plot, but fill the story with such simple, stagnant characters. Crowe's Nash came across much like all of Crowe's characters: aloof, unfeeling, and detached. Once again, I found it difficult to empathize with him.",6 "from the best series i ever watched.An incredible story that you can""t imagine and it will keep your brain follow them until the last movement and you will be shocked at the end and to wait for the second part and the enthusiasm in the episodes gets us restless for watching it.Although it's fantastic since you can't foresee what will happen and that's why you have to watched it.It's a series that you can't skip like Death note and the insistence will let you watched it in one day or two maximum.I hope you will enjoy the movie and i can not stand for the second season and i wish you will give him this attention and to have a big priority although it very hard to think about any events that will happen.So it's an exciting action and exciting series. Thank you!",9 "If you just want to watch this movie because its 8.5 and on IMDB's top 250, then stop right there. You will be baffled. Even if you appreciate the style as a change of pace of some sort, character depth and development is severely lacking, and the dialogue comes from the 8-ball of kid's screen writing. On the other hand, if you're a kid, you'll probably find this very imaginative and fantastic, and it is, for that target audience. Even if you are a hardcore comic book fan, I can see this thrilling you.",5 "The first 2 season were great, but I couldn't even get thru the third season. It was awful. Just non stop bickering and corny storytelling. Not sure if I will continue watching...",8 I watch this with my two older boys and the only negative thing I can say is that it ends too soon (but perhaps this makes it even more of a gem). This show is remarkable. I missed the first airing but heard the hype. When Netflix picked it up my boys and I made a tradition of watching an episode a night. This show teaches life lessons unlike any show I can recall. Loved it! I will cherish this show and the bonding time I got with my boys as we watched it for a long long time.,10 "I don't I don't I don't and I don't understand the hatred for this movie. This movie is a fantasy parody itself based on existential crisis of a plastic doll. It's made for fun, to obtain the theme of child's play and child's creativity. Furthermore, this movie is the Hollywood at it's best. The plot, the cast, the production, the music, marketing!, the hair and makeup, the writing - all collided into such a good movie. Creativity and imagination is beyond words. Greta really did great job with this movie. And Incredibly great movie for 21 century. The story is beautiful, and it's made for fun. Great Gerwig.",10 "Action packed movie, terrible plot, actually, there is not a plot.... Don't waste your time",5 It's a fair show to watch but the writing is awful and the characters are so cringey and quirky it's hard to watch at times. You never really care about anyone on the screen and just watch the chaos unfold along with the awful jokes.,6 "Im playing the witcher now so i decided to watch the show aswell. I expected more.. its just ""meh"" really. The main actor is carrying the show, he almost feels like the real Geralt. Hope season 2 is better..",5 "Story and the plot are the foundation of any movie and this film isn'tr very well in that matter. of course much superhero movies are like that however. It is obvious that we can expect things that are not rational compare to real world in sci-fi or fantasy movies so we measure them in compare to their own introduced logic. we accept some basic unnatural things and then we follow the new rules. Based on the rules the marvel universe has introduced us previously, End Game has too many holes. characters suddenly get very stronger than what they were seconds before or in compare to their history with no reason. Time traveling bugs like in all other time traveling movies present here as well. this happens also to emotional relationships between them. movie has too many cliche scenes with boring dialogs. when we compare this one to Infinity war, it is a huge disappointment. However, it is still worth watching and if you are a fan of Sci-fi, it entertains you. It is just an average superhero movie.",3 This flim is compared to very comfort than bigileeeey,10 "A large group of my friends and myself had been waiting for this for some time. We even went so far as to make a trip to the Chinese theater in Hollywood to see if in laser 3D glory on their massive screen. The movie just ended up being so so for everyone in the group. Characters weren't fully developed, plot holes, etc. I personally didn't read the book so as to not have unfair comparison to movie. But as many have said the book is a million miles better compared to movie. Effects good, there was lots of (promised) action but it just wasn't really exciting. Never really connecting with the characters.",6 "This is a good film, there are some marvellous scenes depicting the horrors of war but there was not enough action involved for my liking, I get its trying to show you that they're all afraid young blokes but they could have thrown in some extra firefights or explosions just to bring the audience further into it. The ending was a bit of an anti climax aswell. watchable but needed some extra touches to be right up there, wish it had been",6 "A 6,5 is more like it. First 2 episodes were unfunny. Glad I kept watching. Martin Short is an absolute delight, last 2-3 episodes he had me in stitches! Other than him, script can take some major improvements.",6 "Addresses current critical issues; basically, the movie revolves around that. The central ideas are patriarchy and female empowerment, which I believe were handled intelligently and elegantly. I was particularly surprised in this regard; I didn't expect the film to be so mature. I also want to highlight the makeup, set, photography and choreography. Top-notch, flawless. The context is also interesting; the script is creative, and the story is engaging, making the film much more fluid. Personally that's what I liked the most, how the fantasy and the reality interact. The actors were amazing too, and not only the main characters. Some other human characters were underdeveloped compared to Barbie and Ken, but that was expected. As a man I recon that this is a movie that speaks to women, but also to men sensible to women struggles. I went to watch it without expecting more than a visually beautiful film, and I left the cinema positively surprised.",8 "I have always been a great fan of sharat chanda's literature and seeing it getting transformed to such magnificent movie like vinod chopra's ""Parineeta"" gives me a sense of pride for our writers and film makers.I saw the movie last evening with my friends and there was none who did not enjoy it. The cinematography is amazing.the sets look far more natural than they were in ""Devdas"" which was based on the book by the same author. The spirit of the story has been very wisely conserved and the movie displays the efficiency of the director in handling the topic in the very fashion the author would have liked it to be handled. Where ""devdas"" was a disappointment to me, ""Parineeta"" has proved the opposite. The movie is far away from the loudness that could have surrounded it. The lights in the sets are dim and add to the romantic mood. thump's up to the makers.",9 Yaa I'm relly late. I just watched and finished this film for 3days.. this film really amazing... can't wait to watch season 3!,8 "The show is very inaccurate and dramatic. The only positive thing that came from this show was popularizing chess again, which is a game that I've always been fascinated with as a child and still play to this day. The main concern was there was no real 'problem' that Beth Harmon encountered, and the story was very bland after a while. The director (who is Jewish) also truly expressed his beliefs as every Christian person alive was made to look foolish in this series. There was extreme hostility towards theism and INDIVIDUALISM instead was presented as the future and correct way of living. I really dislike the idea of director's poking fun of religion because it shows their insecurities and superiority complex issues. Because this series included a lot of religious jokes instead of focusing on CHESS it earns a solid 1 star. What a waste and shame, definitely not going to watch any continuation series.",1 "Film not as good as hype would have you believe. Visually though it's a stunning watch, and enjoyed the soundtrack by Zimmer. No Saving Private Ryan,but decent enough.",7 "To watch this a few times and last night it came up and you know how it plays and I was like hmm looks good why didn't I ever get thu an episode! Teressa Palmer is why!!! Now I originally watched it for her ( because I've liked her in other things ) but she's just awful! Meek, they have her with an American accent ! Nothing she says seems convincing and others are so much better! Now I did not know that Juliette is played by Elerica Johnson and I liked her but she gets banished right away! Also this showed only having one season? If it was really dark) say Penny Dreadful like it would be fine but with Palmer and her awful acting( I don't even believe her a witch) I won't be able to continue! If only she wasn't the lead!",3 "Its a movie build on suspence, but if you're not really affected by it, this movie is useless. in the beginning it even tries to be a comedy/drama and that does not work well in this case. 5/10: useless",5 "80%. The Barbie film genuinely transforms the examination of the toy's influence on generations of girls and women into its very essence. Gerwig and Baumbach lure viewers with the promise of wholesome pop-culture amusement while subtly introducing a more intricate battle of the sexes. The Barbie film could have easily been another forgettable, run-of-the-mill release, but owing to the creative team's resolute vision, it unmistakably stands out as a unique cinematic creation. Barbie possesses an array of commendable attributes. This cinematic endeavor is daring, intellectually astute, and remarkably sophisticated. Despite its seemingly superficial action-adventure appearance, it employs textured dialogue and rapid-fire humor to add profound layers of meaning. One conceivable critique might be that the film eventually comes across as somewhat one-dimensional, primarily focusing on feminism, while neglecting other facets of identity such as race, culture, and sexuality, thereby emphasizing a heavy-handed focus on the gender. However, considering the film's relatively short duration, it effectively delivers its intended message and vision, displaying dedication, time, and effort. It successfully strikes a balance between male and female characters, providing both Barbie and Ken with their moments to shine. Margot Robbie flawlessly embodies the role of Barbie, but Ryan Gosling undeniably steals the spotlight with his uproarious portrayal of Ken. The movie truly excels when it operates as a whimsically entertaining fantasy comedy. Barbie unquestionably takes the spotlight in the first half of the film, with Margot Robbie's portrayal being a testament to her suitability for the role. Her immersion in the Barbie world is exquisitely realized, closely resembling the plastic toy's universe, and it offers unexpected depth in its exploration of societal themes in a non-offensive, almost playful manner. Margot Robbie admirably navigates the fish-out-of-water scenario as Barbie transitions into the real world. Ken, on the other hand in the second act, becomes a standout character. Despite a few of his less appealing qualities, the film delves into the reasons behind his insecurities, and he truly shines in certain scenes, particularly during dance sequences. The humor in the film is remarkably effective, a rarity in a genre where humor often falls flat. The set and costume design, along with the performances of the actors portraying various Barbie and Ken characters, are praiseworthy. Each of these characters possesses distinctive attributes that evoke intrigue, making one envision countless spin-off opportunities for them. Audiences are likely to eagerly anticipate more content following this film. It's a rare cinematic gem that seamlessly combines intelligence with entertainment, becoming a pop culture sensation that has captivated the moment by introducing a contemporary concept of femininity to those willing to forsake streaming platforms and head to the theaters. It's a campy, introspective, fun, and emotionally engaging cinematic experience all rolled into one.",8 "Now this is called Entertainment!! Entertainment!! & Entertainment!! I generally don't write movie reviews but this movie Ludo made me to write and thank Anarug Basu for this gem. I couldn't stop laughing for the entire movie. One of the best comedy movie I have watched in my life. Creator of movies like Judwaa-2 & Houseful-4 should learn something from this movie & from Anarug Basu. Strongly recommend!!",10 "A24, for the most part, has been consistent with their specific releases when it comes to the horror genre. With the likes of Ari Aster's Hereditary, Robert Eggers's The Lighthouse, Kevin Smith's Tusk and Rose Glass's Saint Maud, if there is one thing in common as well as most of the films by the said studio not part of the genre, they are not afraid to take risks. In fact, while admittedly using the familiar horror tropes audience are used to seeing but they innovate them and make it as their own - just like Talk to Me. Talk to Me is, by far, the creepiest and interesting film of 2023. Aside from Beau is Afraid which is bonkers, Talk to Me features the typical scenario as presented by Aster's Hereditary in how people use the power of exorcism and supernatural force in order to overcome grief. However, the film was able to stand on its own by actually creating a scenario of how teenagers use the creepy hand as something for fun - until it goes too far. In terms of the cast, everyone performed well in their respective roles. Never did they feel as pretenders but rather real people. But the actor that stood out the most was definitely Sophia Wilde as Mia. Her character is someone the audience can relate to, not just because of the grief that she is trying to overcome but as to how she reacts to the horrific sequences that is happening to her and the people that are close to her. The best thing from this film is unlike generic horror movies, it does not rely too much on the jump scares. In fact, just like Hereditary, it is the creepy vibes, disturbing imagery and unexpected gore scenes that boosts the film's horror vibes. It does not have a lot of exposition which is good considering not everything has to be spoon-fed to the audience. As for the story, it presents an allegory of addiction (not necessarily drugs) and how it is used to overcome the depression and loneliness felt. At the beginning, it starts out slow, trying to know the characters through their conversations. But the film picks up once the hand is presented, how it influences Mia's choice and the effect of it all. From there on, the film does not hold back with its horrific elements. Despite the final act could have been better, it was an overall solid horror film. Talk to Me is finally that horror movie that people who are fans of the genre should definitely watch in the cinema. Want something bold and original? Then this is the film that should earn more recognition.",7 "Storyline isn't that amazing anyway, but add in all the wokeness and the race cards being played and this movie just isn't that great!",4 "This is a film set in 1960s Hollywood. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a fading once successful actor, Brad Pitt plays his stunt man, assistant and long standing best friend Pros: The acting is superb. DiCaprio does a superb job portraying an famous yet fading actor. Brad Pitt does a great, solid yet understated performance Cons: This film is a perfect example of how a flawed script cannot save sterling performances by wonderful actors. The script is long, unfocused, aimless, indulgent and ultimately far too boring. I fell asleep for the first half of the film. And kept looking at my watch hoping the film would end soon In short. If you are a die hard fan of the 1960s, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Brad Pitt, then feel free to watch this. For everyone else. Please do not waste your money or almost 3 hours of your life here. I am not glad I saw this film. I would not watch it again. I'm sorry but I would not recommend it to friends and family. Easily one of the worst films I have ever seen.",3 I gave it a solid four because of the good music.The rest of the movie was pretty damn boring.,4 "Amsterdam is a fabulous movie. Bale plays Peter Falk, and does so amusingly. The chemistry between Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington is off the charts. DeNiro and Mike Myers are at their best too, as is everyone in the brilliant cast. The screenplay is the best of Russell's career. The movie looks back at the Nazis and the ultra-rich businessmen who tried to change history for the worse in the 1930s. It looks forward to the very same kinds of people who have risen again in the 2020s. The underlying theme is the struggle to save democracy. At the same time the film is frequently hilarious. It's romantic and beautiful too, and toward the end suspenseful. Try to imagine a mixture of Wes Anderson, Woody Allen, and Alfred Hitchcock. Amsterdam was a financial flop when it appeared, perhaps because it appeared at an early post-pandemic moment when reviewers and audiences shied away from anything even remotely challenging. But Amsterdam is one of the great films of this century. It gives great pleasure and deserves to be beloved.",10 "Brilliant, quirky, mysterious, funny, sad and plain amazing. Great casting, great writing. It's a gem.",9 "Even though I never played with Barbie myself, when word came out of a Barbie movie being released, I knew I had to watch it!. With Barbie being a worldwide icon, a cast like this movie and a soundtrack like that, I still had my doubts this was going to be any good. I went to the cinema with an open mind and in the back of my head with the idea that I knew this might not be it for me. Overall the movie is packed with some great humor and a beautiful underlying story about who Barbie really is. If you look at the cast you'll see that all the women that portray Barbie are also called Barbie, but this movie, as well as the dolls in real life show that a Barbie can be anything. Even though our main Barbie played by the magnificent Margot Robbie was the ''stereotypical Barbie'' and I did like some of the more versatile characters, I still think they could have done better than having one bigger Barbie and one in a wheelchair. I admit that 9 is a high rating but after leaving the movie theatre 24 hours later and stil stuck with the lyrics of Ryan Gosling singing ''I'm just Ken'', I can't help but to give a solid 9. Although this movie in any other context might be ''forgettable'', it is still a Barbie movie and it was just good fun. The humor was good, the cast was great and the soundtrack might be one of the strongest things about the movie. The outfits, especially worn by Margot Robbie were stunning. This movie is not going to be for everyone. It was very fake, theatrical and very ''Barbie (of course). I still loved every part of it even though I never played with Barbie or even seen any Barbie movie before this.",9 "This film was not what I expected - I was actually pleasantly surprised! That doesn't, however, mean it was the brilliant film most have been raving about. The cinematography / cgi work was breathtaking and stood out for most of the film. There was action. Really! And a lot of it! I caught myself on a few occasions glued to the screen, apprehension drawn all over my face. Sadly, my face appeared to have more emotion that that of Sandra Bullock's Dr Ryan. Both she and Clooney (playing the somewhat garrulous astronaut Kowalski) appeared to be going through the motions giving underwhelming performances. As the film progressed the situations Dr Ryan found herself in became increasingly more ridiculous. It all begins with the Russians bombing their own satellite by accident (already, facepalm) creating debris and initiating a chain-reaction of events. And yes, the physics of it all was not as accurate as some might want you to believe. Clichés galore, let's also chuck in a side-story about the protagonist's massive personal loss from her recent past - to make her more approachable? Likable? Believable? Oh, wait, to add the existential dilemma needed for added emotional gravitas to the film! Right….. Yet one would be able to suspend their belief if the dialogue supported it. In this film, it didn't. It was, frankly, quite juvenile at times. This could of been for me the masterpiece others saw had more effort been put in parts of the plot and most of the dialogue (the later being what I'm holding responsible for both Bullock and Clooney's subpar performances). In summary, NOT the innovative masterpiece expected, however a watchable pop-corn movie nonetheless.",6 "A 9.2 would indicate this tv show is one of the best of all time, it's extraordinarily pretty but in terms of content and execution it's not really hit the mark for me to even talk about it with the better shows in this generation. Familiarity breeds problems, same as people who read always hate on movie versions, I don't think this translated as well as it could've done. Sometimes it's warranted but truthfully just feel they want to get multiple series and as much money out of it as possible. With tv and movies struggling for ideas or fresh hits they'll take anything available and a near perfect video game with a high percentage of cinematography is ideal, that's probably who's fanboying this to such a high mark, if you've played the game, so much of this story is spoilt plus will real life look as good as high def 1080p graphics? Probably not. Then there's the casting, Ellie and the daughter were both decent although I don't understand why she needed to swear so much? It felt genuinely unnecessary and I'm not someone who cares about language but it just felt needless. Joel's casting wasn't great, no presence, weak voice, no power! The rest are mediocre or below with one or two exceptions but no one here blows your mind. Episode 3, I'm torn on this, was it well acted? Yeah! Did it tell a nice story? Yeah! Did it introduce and kill off characters too quickly? Yes, did it feel like a filler episode and were only on episode 3? Yes indeed! The other glaring issue was whether or not this was just done for woke point scoring, I'm going to say a tiny bit but more I think for padding it out to get a second season. Another show that needs far more action than it shows and far more focused stories. Personally a 12-15 1 season split into two parts would be fine . Not into padding out stuff. Why every franchise needs to be throttled to death to kill every penny is depressing. Mediocre show, overrated by the gamers.",6 "Black doesnt mean better, especially if plot is so bad",2 Excellent story. Enjoyed each and every episode. Great work Duffer Brothers.,9 "Dysfunctional superhero siblings reunite after decades to protect the world from the global Apocalypse. I watched the entire season in just 2 days as It comprises of Mysterious, Thrilling, Funny, Sad, Happy moments throughout. Detailed and stylish characters' development is just simply amazing and one of the highlights of the show. Ellen Page has this same tired and boorish look throughout which makes a bit hard to enjoy the show but The remarkable parts of the show are its soundtrack and accurate Direction. Robert Sheehan as Klaus is the most lovable among all the actors. One of the best shows on Netflix! ❤",8 "I'm really surprised by the comments I rode, I love that series so far (3 episodes). Yes it is slow, but not to much, I can't figured what will happen, and the directing and the photo are amazing. The city of Hong Kong is clearly a character of that série. We can feel the air, the flavors, we can smell the food : the director really knows what she is filming. The characters can be unfriendly and that is what makes the feelings so real! The characters are full of doubt and contradictions that make so many moment embarrassing and weird but in a beautiful way. The sound is also great, nothing is left to chance. I want more!!",9 Excellent sketches from all series that will make you cringe and laugh hysterically at the same time. The writing is top notch but even better is the chemistry both Jordan and Keegan have. The references will stick to your mind for years after watching! A must watch for anyone who enjoys sketch shows or just general comedy.,10 "Wow. I was quite surprised by this flick. I was expecting something akin to ""Kung Pow: Enter the Fist"" or ""Top Secret."" The trailer looked a little silly, and I never paid it much attention. It came home on video though, and after watching it we all agreed that we were pleasant surprised. The story unfolded much like some other Asian films, like ""Hero"" and ""House of Flying Daggers."" There was emotional struggle of lost love, and underdog vs. overwhelming force. The special effects were a bit over the top, but I feel they really did fit in well with the overall concept of the plot. Even through all the sadness and anxiety the plot provided, it all did finish up with a solid ending.",9 "When I first watched it as a child, I really liked this series. Now a few years later, reviewing this series, I found that I liked it even more. Recommend!!!",10 "((Warning, Some Strong, Indirect Spoilers)) Here is what I do like about Inception is that it presented a rather rare and new concept and presented a rather complex story that keeps the average movie goer confused to some levels. It also does so with a neat sense of mystery and thrill that puts the audience on the edge of their seats. The problem is that so much of this is redux! The second I left the theatre I wish someone had told me I'd be watching ""Total Recall"" through the eyes of ""The Prestige"". Total Recall of course being the ""inside of as dream...or not?!"" combined with the mystery and love-lost angst and style of The Prestige as well as Nolan throwing out the now rehashed, ""last 10 seconds"" to make your really think about it all type of ending. Outside of some of the complexity, this narrative offers no new schemes, devices, or twists that are worthy of making it a top 8, 9, or 10 film. In fact, I'd hand The Prestige an 8 for its innovative story, camera work and production style, and screen writing. But this film is in some sense just a redux of that in a more post-modern, dream-obsessed world. Then there are the film-making flaws I couldn't stand. Let's first consider how the films throws you head first into the deep end of the dream-invasion concept to begin with. In the end, all of the needed sci-fi devices from ""kicks"" to timing to ""the architect"" and ""subconscious"" is so rapidly thrown together it confused the crud out of most fans at first. It's a whole new concept with its own lingo and we're barely allowed to figure it out before we're thrust into an ocean of it for the last half of the thrill. Along the way Murphy, Berrenger, Wattanabe(sp?), Page, and Postlethwaite(sp?) are excellent actors reduced in their roles or in the case of page, limited to a wooden delivery. This movie is in and of itself a ""DiCaprio"" picture featuring Cotillard limited to a sort of ""Pretty looking Freddy Kruger"" kind of role. Good entertainment, interesting narrative but it is so lacking of something NEW and ORIGINAL and it limits too many wonderful cast members that it shows. You can't force a weak script to be a great one by plugging all of its small roles with notable talent to try and make it shine. This is what producers do when they realize a narrative or script is crud and try to sell a movie only on a plethora of notable names.",7 "Apart from the main actor and the support actress all other acting is unmemorable and inconsistent. The writing and dialogs are flat and without adding value to the story, not to mention forced mysticism without proper justification. Directing has no original mark and tries to merge several styles which results in noticable difference in pace and varying quality. The show tries to be something it is not, like trying to top or level with other fantasy shows instead of following its own path. At the end, I must say I have no reason to hate this show, I haven't read the books and played the games, I just watched for what it is - and I knew something is not right from the start when Witcher and Spider creature dive out from a shallow pond like its 2 meters deep swamp.",5 "There is no plot, great action, lot of blood and 5 stars is only because of Hemsworth who is awesome.",5 "This is what I was afraid of when I heard the Marvel Cinematic Universe was being downsized to television and other personal screens for streaming. Mind-numbingly intricate character development, nonsensical political struggle, and TV filler. We don't merely see superheroes and villains knock each other around, we see them walking to the fighting destinations and talking incessantly to delay those confrontations. The same arguments replayed over several different episodes. I didn't want to watch Sam and Bucky fix a boat, or Sam apply for a bank loan, or Bucky talk in circles with a shrink. And, I doubt the post-blip politics of a war on terror over national borders or whatever could be more vaguely inconsequential. Sam's speech at the end was atrociously artificial--a supposedly moving speech to rally the common folk as engineered by Disney executives. The generic fanaticism of the Flag Smashers even worse. Even as movies released theatrically, the MCU has been a serial--a 20-plus-and-counting episodic series on bigger screens and with bigger budgets. Not necessarily a bad thing I think. After all, the first comic-book superhero movies were serials released in theatres: ""Adventures of Captain Marvel"" (1941) and the Fleischer Studios ""Superman"" (1941 and thereafter) cartoon series. When the Superman and Batman feature-length blockbusters came in the 1970s and 1980s, they too became part of multi-film franchises. Imagine if instead of six episodes released one per week--seemingly just enough time for us to forget the last episode was the same thing--this were split into two or three theatrically-released movies instead. In that spirit, it's the worst MCU episode since ""The Incredible Hulk"" (2008). ""The Falcon and the Winter Soldier"" is all the more disappointing because it comes on the heels of the cleverly-reflexive ""WandaVision"" (2021). That's a show that understands and exploits its medium instead of suffering from it. A TV series about the magic of creating them. Even Wanda's grief-stricken retreat into nostalgia works better on the level of character interest. It's a show that ingeniously ended with shapeshifting in an empty theatre. Here, we're just supposed to get excited by a cameo from an actress who reminds us of a better TV series, I guess. Usually, the dichotomy isn't this simple, but ""WandaVision"" is smart, and this isn't.",3 This could have been a good show but totally destroyed by what I assume the writers mistakenly think passes for comedy. Sadly what remains is simply bad.,2 "The first Captain America movie set up a great backstory to Captain America, and the Avengers made the Captain even more likable. This movie shows just how cool the Captain can be. One of the standout points of this movie was the amazingly realistic fight scenes. During each fight, as a viewer, you could feel the impact of each punch and kick. Plus its interestingly realistic how the Captain literally runs from point A to point B, and also runs through each fight. One of the nitpicks of the movie was how with the Nick Fury story arc. There's a certain reoccurring pattern that you can observe in the Marvel movies, and it takes away some of the tension. Also, it really seemed that Black Widow was trying too hard to have quips.",9 Just a lecture in political correctness designed to appease the me me me generation really.,1 Loved Falcon and Bucky together.....that's where my positive review ends .....and where the 3/10 score comes from.,3 Its not a movie. Its just a humiliations of Bangladesh. Shame!!!,1 "I came out of the cinema having enjoyed the last hour and a half. Yet, this was pure entertainment and Batman Begins is in no way a Masterpiece deserving to reach the top 250. It may stay quite close to the original comic,but does not equal Tim Burton's more fantastic, yet more grounded interpretation of the Batman Universe and Gotham city. Moreover a massive machine that evaporates all water would probably evaporate us rather than expose us to maddening gas: funnily enough, the plot of putting the gas in the water pipes comes straight from an episode of the cartoon. Frankly, the super hero films are in general becoming more and more poor ever since Spiderman. At least Batman Begins was a cut above the average, which is The Hulk, Daredevil and Spiderman, but it is in no way an excellent movie.",6 "As much as I love Keanu Reeves, there is no plot to this movie. I had to keep changing the volume - up for dialogue, down for action. Keanu looks good in a suit though.",3 "A movie with such tremendous attention to detail should not have an outlandish series of coincidences. Worse, the actions of are two heroes are unlikely and Illogical to a fault at times.",6 "The two stars are for the special effects. The film was sorely lacking in anything else anyways. It was a torture sitting through two seemingly interminable hours seeing the actors slow walk through their family history and love interests. I had hoped for some kind of a harry potteresque showdown at least between grindenwald and the good guys but that just turned out to be a damp arson fest. Give this one a wide miss, some franchises are best left unstretched.",2 "Captain America: Civil War (spoiler free) review Director(s): Anthony and Joe Russo Distributor: Disney Cast: 2 time Academy Award NomineeRobert Downey Jr.*, Chris Evans Elizabeth Olsen, Scarlett Johansson,Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle with 2 time Academy Award Nominee Jeremy Renner** and Chadwick Boseman. Plot: Political interference in the Avengers' activities causes a rift between former allies Captain America and Iron Man. Director brothers Anthony and Joe Russo return with the sequel to Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014). This film is action packed from start to finish and with a story to hold it all together. Another amazing entry to Marvel Cinematic Universe. After the Avengers fell apart in last years Avengers: Age of Ultron with that Captain America and Iron Man form their own team to fight for justice, although Thor and Hulk are nowhere to be seen. Here are the reasons why this is a must see: Blistering Action: Theaction scenes are very spectacular throughout with new moves from each of the heroes. The action is very fast paced and and loud which is to be expected. Which all leads up to the outstanding final fight. No Disney feel: Although this film is Disney because it is part of their MCU franchise this is more serious than the other ones, it still has the funny dialogue. This film is the start of phase 3 of the MCU and it is a wonderful start. Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Spider-Man (Tom Holland) and Crossbones (Frank Grillo) all make their first appearance but they don't go amiss because they make a massive impact. The dialogue is kind of slow but it is very intellectual but it's all worth it because the final battle is just extremely fun and makes the whole film worthwhile. Does this final film in the Captain America trilogy end winningly? ABSOLUTELY With blistering and mind boggling special effects this truly is a film that cannot be missed. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is I hate to say this but there nothing to this. This truly is a Marvelous spectacle to behold. 10/10 excellent not to be missed. Verdict: Definitely worth the wait and and excellent start to MCU's phase 3. Action packed from start to finish. *Best Actor in a leading role, Chaplin(1993), Best Actor in a supporting role, Tropic Thunder (2008) **Best Actor in a leading role The Hurt Locker (2008) Best Actor in a supporting role, The Town (2010)",10 "Animosity is a great equalizer; the feeling doesn't discriminate between caste, religion or economic background. Two enemies are men on a mission and anything or anyone else in their way is collateral damage. ""Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"", Sardar Khan (played by Manoj Bajpai) lives by this philosophy seeking revenge from his closest enemy Ramadhir Singh (played by Tigmanshu Dhulia), a vicious politician and chief of a large coal mafia based in the coal capital of India, Dhanbad. The movie starts with the elimination of Faisal Khan and his family in 2004 and backtracks to 1941 Wasseypur. The animosity between Sardar Khan and Ramadhir Singh dates back to the 1950's when Shahid Khan, Sardar Khan's father, who works for the coal mafia leader Ramadhir Singh is killed by him. Sardar Khan then vows not give his arch enemy an easy death but finish his strength and then his life gradually. ""Teri Keh ke Loonga"" is how he proclaims he will seek his revenge – To screw his life like man from the front and not stab him in the back like a coward. The rest of the movie revolves around both minor and major encounters between the two protagonists. The confrontations are both sinister and hilarious between these equally dangerous men. Anurag Kashyap has brilliantly delivered these difficult scenes with utmost simplicity that sometimes you can miss the subtle hints. Songs are well placed and in the background, Hunter & Womaniya are my personal favourites. The swearing and cuss words are never out of place and go with the local lingo. This is out & out a Manoj Bajpai movie; he is brilliant in simple scenes, from fighting and killing a muscleman in the middle of a market, to where he seduces his second wife Reema Sen while she is washing clothes. He is playful and sinister at the same time. Tigmanshu Dhulia (well known as director of the recent hit Paan Singh Tomar) as the coal mafia leader delivers an impactful performance with minimum dialogues and maximum expressions. The surprise package in this one is Richa Chadda, (Dolly from Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye), playing the character of Manoj Bajpai's first wife is as naughty and as mysterious as her husband's character, at times swearing more than him. The supporting cast is brilliant and every character is a natural from the train driver in 1941 to the silent assassin, Yadavjee, who keeps making his appearance at important junctures in the movie. The man to look out for in Gangs of Wasseypur 2 is Nawazuddin Siddiqui (the no nonsense intelligence officer Khan in Kahaani), playing the role of Sardar Khan's younger son Faisal khan leaves a mark albeit a brief role in this part. Yashpal Sharma does an unforgettable cameo as an item boy on the yesteryears song Salam-e-Isq from Muqaddar ka Sikander. I had been waiting to watch this movie after such rave reviews and finally got a chance to see it last night. Watching a movie with such high expectations a lot of times backfires like the country-made revolvers which are used by the gangsters and as they say in the movie ""Katte ka pipe fat ke flower ho jaata hai"". But this one was like a slow poison, gradually making its impact as it starts and so subtle that by the time you realize you are totally hooked on and attached to the characters. The climax leaves you hungry for more and I am desperate for the second part to be released. A secret: Don't walk out of the cinema hall when the credits are rolling. If you are patient and stay till the end, you will be treated to the trailer of Gangs of Wasseypur 2.",8 "First, the good: DiCaprio does a very good job of portraying a sleazy sociopath. It was truly a great performance. However, the main problem of this movie was lack of editing. There were way too many scenes in which a point was being made or a mood created-- and this took place in about 20 seconds--a nod to good film making... ...However, these same scenes then droned on and on for, in some cases, over 5 minutes! We get it--he's making a pep-talk speech to his staff-- we got that in the first 15 seconds. But why continue the same rah-rah pep-talk for a full 5 minutes without adding *anything* new?? This was just one example of many scenes that got so stale and I kept thinking--where was the editor? Why didn't he shave a few minutes off these scenes and keep the pace going? So all in all--I felt what could have been a decent movie was just a long, boring slog.",4 "This movie is my favorite solo character Marvel movie. This movie had constant action and payed so much attention to detail. All the Gadgets and everything were just so cool! And above all this movie just seemed like the stakes were high as ever. Sure the Avengers was cool and all, but the emotional aspect was just so real. You could really relate to what was going on with Cap. I also really like how flawlessly this movie mixed action and humor. In Thor: The Dark World, I felt like they were trying to force in the humor, but not in this movie. They really did a great job mixing the two together. The character's were also written so well. They all had layers to them and you could really relate to all of them. Overall, if you haven't seen this movie yet, I don't know what you're waiting for! And Captain America The Winter Solider is definitely worth buying on Blu Ray.",9 "Story is full of loopholes . Director has tried very hard to bring out some laughs but fell flat. Many actors are completely wasted like Abhishek Bachhan, Pankaj Tripathi. Rajkumar Rao's role was a bit funny , rest intolerable. Why would Shruti come back to Akash was beyond my comprehension. Sheeja's story was a big waste . Overall a big letdown ,it's better to give a skip to this nonsensical movie.",1 """Venom: Let There Be Carnage"" is an Action - Sci-Fi movie and the sequel of ""Venom"", in which we watch Eddie Brock going to interview a serial killer and later finding out that he is a host of another symbiote that helps him escape prison and the upcoming execution. Since I had already watched the first movie I knew what to expect from the second. I enjoyed it because it had a simple but interesting plot, plenty of action scenes that were combined very well with comedy and in general it was entertaining. Its short duration helped it to become interesting and not boring but if it would be rated with R it would be even better. The direction which was made by Andy Serkis was good and he followed the same pattern as in the first movie of ""Venom"" and his touch was obvious through the whole duration of the movie. The interpretations of Tom Hardy who played as Eddie Brock / Venom, Woody Harrelson who played as Cletus Kasady / Carnage and Naomie Harris who played as Frances Barrison / Shriek were very good. To sum up, I have to say that ""Venom: Let There Be Carnage"" is not a bad movie but I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed by it.",7 "It includes a conversation whis is incorrect and has false information in it about turks commiting genocide. They even write greeks in there which is a never case in history. It is obvious They did not use any historian to consult about this. It seems that they write the scene just by their opinion which they lack so much about it.",1 "Series 1 was watched back to back but series 2, despite starting really well, concentrates too hard on Billy Russo who becomes a touch boring after a while. Perhaps too many plots trying to work together. Literally 4 episodes pass and you are left wondering what happened to some key characters and I start wondering if I missed something. Couple of episodes left, hopefully this will come back from the brink.",6 "Captain America The Winter Soldier is a fantastic MCU film and a fantastic film in general. I love how the Russo brothers made this movie a dark and gritty political thriller. The story is amazing, the characters are well written, and the winter soldier is one of the great conflicted types of villains. The fighting choreography is flawless, and this film can really tug on your heartstrings at times as well. The Winter soldier is one of the best movies in the MCU!",10 "The movie is so like realistic and entertaining, I love the suspense and the acting is good and the story is so good. It has a message to tell and the surprise is 50/50 kinda expected it but I like the overall movie.",6 "Maybe if it had been edited down with a clear purpose of what it wanted to be (genre ). Instead it's every thing without being anything at all . Not really clear who's story there trying to tell. I think needed to be a coming of age story with other family members taking a lot more of a side story role. Instead seems to jump from the mum and dad's story And then back to the sons. If all told from the Sons point of you could've kept the story lines without feeling like it's jumping in and out of different stories , unnecessarily drawn out scenes make it very hard to stick with the story. And you long for the finish line. Well before it arrives with some brilliant scenes Becomes a real shame. It could've been a great film.",6 "Such a shame! Season 4.... IT MAKES NO SENSE!!! The characters are way too intense ALL the time. It's hard to watch! Not a single character is likeable in the end. Stuff happens, then it's totally disregarded! No explanation!! Such a weird end to this show! Just enjoy seasons 1 and 2 and pretend the others didn't happen!",4 "This film is just noise on the TV screen with a very mediocre plot. The next generation may have a low attention span, so it feels like they have catered for that. They have tried to juice up the plot with a feel good experience, but it it feels like it they are just jamming it down my throat. The film pace is completely wrong. This film leaves know time to feel, and imagine. I guess it goes with the title. The only thing they have done of interest is cast a older Asian lady as a protagonist in a big budget pile of garbage. Save your eyes for something that's worth savouring. Best film of the year it wouldn't make my top 100.",3 "Great acting, good story and the fact that it's contained in a single season is awesome.",8 This movie is fine.. Srk is a obsessed lover. I dont think this kind of thing happening in real life as well. End of this movie is not as great or larger than life. The songs are melodious and very very good to listen after 25 years later as well.,7 Loved going the show. Wish they would have had include more of the monster stories from the book,8 "... and the rest is technically superb, with a cast hitting it out of the park, and everyone behind the camera creating a masterpiece - with one exception. The plot is just not there. The writing itself is certainly fine, but the overall story is missing. I've been told it was supposed to be about zombies, and when it was, it was great, especially the outbreak in the 1st episode, or the scientist at the start of the 2nd. But from there on out it kind of fades into the background. I've been told it's about a man learning how to love again, which is weird, because I'm pretty sure he isn't just looking for his brother because he got bored. I also don't think he's with his female companion for her looks. Does he learn to overcome his loss? Not at all. Is it deep and compelling drama? Well, everyone is miserable, and they stay that way, with the exception of the couple in episode 3, which had a theme, character development and even the newfound ability to love, and that's why it's stuck between the following episodes like a brick in a sandcastle. A great sandcastle, don't touch it, you'll make a lot of people angry, but also... there's not really anything inside. And then, all of a sudden, you are in a mall for a whole episode, and spent 45 minutes outside of the already shaky plot. The finale, the climax, gets something like 10 minutes. It's a little sad given the talent on display. You gave me so much, why not *everything*?",8 "What a mess. --- Nothing remarkable except the remarkably bad writing. --- Classic situation of second movie being more kid friendly than the first. --- Unremarkable: Cinematography, Score, Soundtrack, Acting (good actors have no occasion to shine), Action design, Production design, VFX (animations, materials) --- Venom has inconsistent abilities through the movie, The bad guy has magical powers that clash with the sci-fi context.",2 "Extraction is the directorial debut of Sam Hargrave who is best known as the stunt director for a few of the Marvel movies. The movie follows Chris Hemsworth as he takes a break from the Avengers to step into the role of a hardened mercenary tasked with rescuing an Indian drug lord's kidnapped son. Extraction is at it's best where Hargrave is most comfortable, creating intense action sequences and gripping car chases through the tight streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh. While the action is thrilling, the overall plot is thin and I found myself less interested in the predictable outcome as the hour and fifty-seven minute mark approached.",6 This could have been a great show if they didn't pull that sitcom and black and white stuff.,4 "Wanna experience a hot air balloon ride? If not literally, Vikas Bahl's 'Queen' will surely give you the feel! This one too takes off after fire of strife but gradually zooms up in the air higher and higher, all liberated from the shackles of earthly rules and grief. 'Queen' is a journey of discovering oneself. Simply put – ""When things go wrong, cry not; gather your guts, not just move over but fly!"". A more detailed analysis follows: • Plot: The plot resembles Gauri Shinde's 'English vinglish' in its theme but it is the execution and premises which makes 'Queen' more exuberant. While the former was poised and mature, this one is raw, yet sensitive, sensible, effervescent, all at the same time. How an otherwise banal story on paper could become so entertaining on-screen, only Bahl can tell. He injected the same positivity in his debut venture 'Chillar party' earlier. Another endearing fact is the handling of 'haww'-type (by Indian sanskriti standards) cheeky humor gracefully enough to make it watchable with family. Dialogues by Anvita Dutt and Kangana (yes, she has contributed here too) are pertinent. Despite lot of French and little Japanese here & there (with no subtitles), you don't mind as the situation and emotions say it all. Dilliwali Punjabi lingo, though, adds credibility. Heartiest congratulations to Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane for shelling put money for such a cinematic delight! • Cast: It is out and out Kangana's film, with all others in supporting role. Bahl is believable in saying he penned Rani's role keeping only her in mind. No other actress would have better lived the vulnerability, innocence, craziness, elegance and emotions of Rani, the way Kangana did. This movie will definitely mark as a milestone in her career and give all reasons to other filmmakers to look beyond her fashionistic persona. Donning demure, no make-up, plaited look and wearing kurti with sweaters, she looks perfectly the Indian girl next door. At the climax too, she looks glamorous not out of the dress but the confidence she wears! Full marks to casting directors as all actors play within the skin of their respective characters, be it the confused Rajkkumar Rao, Rani's family (Dadi is esp. lovable), sensuous smart Lisa Hayden or Rani's endearing firangi friends. • Cinematography: On Rani's canvas, you get to move from rues of Lajpat Nagar to the majestic Eifel Tower to the picturesque bridges of Amsterdam! Kudos to Siddharth Diwan and Bobby Singh for the awesome camera work! • Music: Amit Trivedi is a winner all the way. Already hit ""London thumakda"" gives way to ""Ranjha"", classical pop 'Badra bahaar' and 'O gujariya'. However, it is the remixed ""Hungama ho gaya"" from 'Anhonee' (1973) rendered emphatically by ever boisterous Asha Bhosle, which stays with you even after you leave the theatre. Songs are nowhere a speed- breaker in this flick. • Flaws: I failed to find any. :) The film ends with a confident rejuvenated Rani thanking her betrayer for giving her the opportunity for self-awakening; we as audience thank the director for infusing optimism into the minds and hearts of esp. female watchers. Go ladies, this one's the best Woman's day gift you can give to yourself. Men too will surely enjoy it for all its youthfulness. It's a movie for all. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. My rating: ****1/2 (my favourite in the last 1 year) P.S.: Ending credential FB ishtyle are not to be missed!",9 "Can you peel back the layers of a Glass Onion? Of course not.

In his layers-less lair, a whodunnit emerges. Benoit Blanc is back, right exactly where he belongs Glass Onion is the Knives Out sequel that we've all been waiting for. It's on-par with the first and at times, even better. Rian Johnson is the Agatha Christine of our time. His brand of murder mysteries are exciting, unexpected and refreshingly hilarious. Johnson's eye for intrigue is matched by his biting cynicism of the state of our world, poking in the eye of the ""anti-establishment"" establishment.

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, this film effortlessly weaves together a gripping narrative, outstanding performances, and stunning cinematography to create an unforgettable experience. Set in both the 1950s and the early 1900s, ""The Godfather Part II"" intricately explores the parallel stories of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) and his father, Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro). Michael, now the head of the Corleone crime family, faces the challenges of maintaining power and protecting his family's legacy. Simultaneously, the film delves into Vito's rise to power as a young immigrant in New York City, showcasing his transformation into the formidable figure he becomes. One of the film's greatest strengths lies in its impeccable storytelling. The script, co-written by Coppola and Mario Puzo, skillfully interweaves the past and present, juxtaposing the struggles and decisions of both father and son. The seamless transitions between timelines provide a deeper understanding of the characters' motivations and the consequences of their actions. The narrative unfolds with precision, offering a compelling exploration of family, loyalty, power, and the destructive nature of the criminal underworld. The performances in ""The Godfather Part II"" are nothing short of extraordinary. Al Pacino delivers a tour de force as Michael Corleone, portraying the character's growing ruthlessness and internal conflict with remarkable nuance. Robert De Niro's portrayal of the young Vito is equally remarkable, capturing the essence of Marlon Brando's iconic performance while adding his own touch of authenticity. The supporting cast, including John Cazale, Diane Keaton, and Talia Shire, among others, deliver outstanding performances that enhance the film's depth and complexity. Visually, the film is a work of art. Gordon Willis' cinematography brilliantly captures the contrasting atmospheres of the two timelines, from the gritty streets of New York to the opulent settings of Lake Tahoe and Cuba. The use of lighting and shadows adds a layer of intensity and symbolism to the storytelling, immersing the audience in the dark and brooding world of the Corleone family. Furthermore, the film's score, composed by Nino Rota and supplemented by Carmine Coppola, is hauntingly beautiful, elevating the emotional impact of pivotal scenes. The iconic theme music resonates long after the film's conclusion, adding to its lasting legacy. ""The Godfather Part II"" is not simply a sequel but a cinematic achievement in its own right. It expands upon the themes and characters established in the first film, delving deeper into their complexities and motivations. With its impeccable storytelling, stellar performances, stunning visuals, and a captivating score, this film stands as a timeless classic that continues to be celebrated as one of the greatest films ever made. It is a must-watch for any cinephile and a testament to the power of storytelling in cinema.",8 My ears are in pain - spoken russian is so bad-its hardly russian. Besides that song in russian is lullaby for children.,3 "Atleast Season 1 made one curious to see what was the plot all about, why will a dreaded gangster call the son of a cop in the middle of night and what was a commercial Bollywood star doing in a TV series and that too the first one for Netflix. Sacred Games Season 2 just meanders along scene after scene, gangsters indulging in sex, crime and mouthing expletives, there is a guru and his shady ashram members, they talk about world destruction, guru quotes Indian Mythology, there is lot of mumbo-jumbo about nuclear attack on Mumbai, cops are able to reach and link all activity leading to the nuclear attack without much procedural investigation and so on and everyone in sight mouth more expletives. After a while you lose interest. There is hardly any character you care for. I watched the 8 episodes over 5 to 6 days. Maybe because it based on a book that the series seemed so lifeless and the makers had to follow the story and couldn't make it interesting. Nawazuddin is such a gifted natural actor, he shines in the role of Gaitonde, his expressions and mannerisms are spot-on. Commercial Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan continues playing the low-in-confidence cop Sartaj from Season 1 and he is one of the main reason that more people watched Season 1 and may watch Season 2. Also, Surveen Chawla, who had a special appearance in Season 1 episode 1, has an extended role in Season 2 and puts in an amazing performance. Just for these 3 actors you can watch the second Season, otherwise give it a miss.",6 "I'm honestly not sure how anyone found this show entertaining. I played this game series all my childhood and this show ruined it all for me. The actors are a big miss. No one is authentic and it all seems like a joke... A bad one. A lot of the reviews on here say ""what do you expect?"" How about character development, story lines, engagement, entertainment? This feels cheap and almost insulting. Like ""we'll just throw some somewhat ""high-level"" actors into the mix and people will love it.""

But, and this is larger one of it's kind, it offers a stylistically interesting dive into the consequences our trauma and fears can inflict. It's showing how we tend to reproduce our choices when given the chance to do them all over again. It tells a story of how when everything crumbles away and we are all but alone - it is possible to reach out and change, to change.

Rian Johnson succeeds, once again, with his clever, witty humor and continuous entertainment throughout just over two hours of yet another whodunnit classic with tremendous replay value. The central mystery holds countless twists and turns, almost always captivating and amusing. Exceptional performances from a shockingly talented cast - Daniel Craig and Janelle Monáe are the standouts - elevate a screenplay slightly lacking in character depth as well as better control over its clear yet repetitive message concerning opportunism, vanity, and hypocrisy. Original remains supreme, but this sequel deserved a worldwide premiere on the big screen."" Rating: B+",8 "Technically, the movie is undeniably beautiful: superb photography, great camera management, superior acting performances. Conceptually, it is a supreme act of cinematographic onanism: it is cinema talking to itself about itself.

The has been book molded into the film so well with the humour, the effects even along the changes I usually get annoyed about. David Yates did a good job!

Civil War depicts so many characters that it is difficult to bring in a believable villain or to develop any of them, especially with the mandatory action scenes thrown in. In the end you have a two hour and a half mess that shows grown men and women rather punch their way than talk about a common goal. That doesn't mean it's a bad movie, just average and somewhat disappointing. While introducing Zemo, Black Panther and bringing in Spider-Man and Ant-Man, the movie feels more like one of those Mortal Kombat games than a real story. I wanted to shed tears, to understand and empathize with deep character feelings. Instead I got CGI robots fighting CGI captains. Bottom line: more a stepping stone for the MCU than a movie with its own story and soul, it is marginally entertaining, but ultimately teaching nothing and bringing nothing new.",7 "24 is the most amazing show I have ever seen. The Real-Time approach the show introduced was supremely innovative and original. With very real stories and cliffhangers that could make a person insane, 24 has it all. T his is truly an off-your-seat thriller/action TV show. There is not a single boring moment, as it is pure adrenaline each hour. The cast of each new season is perfectly selected, and the music of each episode is so moving and well executed. Another addition to the show is that it doesn't waste time with a theme/introduction video, instead it summaries the previous events and goes straight into the action!

Republicans will love him. Instead of outwitting his enemies, which might require more gray matter than is contained in his cranium, this Batman just invests in fancy new weapons. This sounds like the policy of the outgoing Administration. The villain, the Joker, is a two dimensional idiot that only wants ""to see the world burn,"" having no depth whatsoever. He kills even those who cooperate with him. He is yet another serial killer, a tedious figure often used in films because the writer has no imagination and no grasp on human psychology. Anytime you see a serial killer in a film, it means the writer is to lazy to bother thinking about motivation. I stopped the movie mid-way through and threw the DVD in the trash can. It was that bad. I liked the previous Batman movies better. They had some heart. This one has no heart and should therefore appeal to a great many armchair generals out there that fantasize about fancy weapons.",3 It started slow but boy was it amazing seeing the character growth of hit monkey. Never knew this character existed until I watched the show! Loved every bit of it and I want more! Season 2 please Marvel?,8 "This is such a musical movie yet the most profound and moving scene was the one without melody- the platform sequence. Couldn't hold my tears. Swades is as Indian a movie as it can get. And it is only fitting that the protagonist is none other but the king of bollywood himself. It is a perfect role for SRK, although I feel Veer Zaara is still the most SRK-like film. The story is simple and grounded which only makes it more real. It is well directed because it was easy to get carried away with the background of protagonist and some novice filmmaker might have made him fly rockets out of Charanpur! Ashutosh Govarikar showed his expertise of carving out beautiful character arcs with finesse and delivering an astound message for those who ever lose faith and hope in their motherland!",9 "I found the first season quite intriguing. Being new to Witcher I had no prior knowledge of the story or characters. It therefore took time to realise that there were multiple timelines and to assemble it into some sense. I had high hopes for season 2 but these were somewhat diminished by the switch to a simple linear timeline and choices that seemed out of character. The 3rd season was a disaster. Other reviews have mentioned the main points: random scene shifts, loss of any concept of travel time, characters leaping from one location to another, and the main character becoming a sideline. What summed it all up for me was the dialogue. When scriptwriters resort to constant swearing as the only means of expression you know that they have ""lost the plot"". No doubt it reflects the scriptwriter's personal lack of vocabulary and limited ability to express meaning in words. For the viewer it is a complete turn off and destroyed what little credibility the show retained. Netflix needs to find writers who can produce meaningful and thoughtful dialogue and lose those for whom ""f"" is the most-used character on the keyboard.",2 Actually I was really kid when I watch this movie so I didn't understand anything in that time so I gave five star only.,5 "The second film didn't improve on the flaws on the first. There was barely any action in this film. It's also too short; only 1 hour 37 minutes long. Furthermore, none of the characters are fleshed out that well. The best part of the movie is the post-credit scene.",6 "Wow, what a dysfunctional family. They're all supposedly the best the world can offer, highly trained, etc. not a single one of them can follow an order. They seem to dislike each other. And Dr Smith has no redeeming qualities. The father is a US Marine officer combat veteran. Yet soccer mom is in charge? She hates guns so even though they're in an extremely hostile environment she refuses to let Dad (former Marine, remember, so no danger of him not knowing how to use one) print a weapon. Others have already noted the horrible science. I can suspend disbelief some because it's science fiction, but failing at basic physics or scientific principles is ridiculous in the internet age where a simple search for information is so easy. The plots are magical. Literally. The cast can always pull a rabbit out of their hat. They fail at a basic premise of good science fiction - you never resolve issues by new magic tech, you rely on logic and on the pre-established rules of the fictional world. So far in this show the rules seem to be made up along the way to fix plot holes. As for the 'PC' issues, I don't care about it much, I assumed that Judy was from a previous relationship or something. As for Smith being a woman, I hate that the character is so vile more than the gender. I really had high hopes, but so far this reboot has been a real disservice to fans of the original as well as just science fiction fans in general.",3 "Don't understand how this movie is so popular. Watching a movie about Matt Damon stranded on Mars and getting rescued, ""should"" be exciting. But it's not! His character is so p*ss poorly developed, you couldn't give a toss about him. There's no tension or pace to the storyline at all. Completely dragged out and a bore. Entirely. The characters at NASA are also just not interesting. A lot of famous face. And no substance. This movie wants to be Apollo 13, but lacks any charisma or engagement. Personally, Matt Damon was boring AF. And this movie, doesn't deserve the awards it got.",3 "I genuinely wish more marvel adaptations were filmed/written in this style. In a lot of ways that I can't quite express it reminded me of watching the Toby Maguire spiderman movies for the first time. Something about it is just so genuinely enjoyable, big monster fights, fun banter, overall more mature theme, concise storyline that doesn't require 6 other movies worth of context to fully understand. What more can I say? Me see anti-hero monster movie, movie make me happy and go ""WOAHHHHH"" and ""hahaha"", me say 10/10.",10 "A quick recap of my watching journey with this show... When I let myself finally watch it, I was actually so confused as to what the heck was going on with the story-that's why I somehow find it hard to vibe or like this at first; it turns out I was a big idiot because I accidentally started it with the wrong episode, and I just realised that after I was through with the first season-so, I had to rewatch some of it to get my head fixed. But, as I went along with it-episode by episode-I started to enjoy every bit of it-especially the second season... And as I embarked with the third one, it felt like all the excitement and joy that I've experienced during the last watch started to fade out-it's now the opposite of everything-just worries, anger, and anxiousness towards the characters that I've grown attachments with; and as to where or how the story will end, all these make me very uncomfortable to the core-particularly episode 8, because it's a bucket full of different emotions poured in a single episode. Additionally, Klaus is the only lovable character here-in my crazy opinion-the rest is meant to either be hated or pitied or to just forget and not give a damn at all. I don't know how exactly I should feel or react to the ending; I can't say that I'm satisfied with it, but I can't say if I wanted more of that either. All I'm certain about right now is that I sit with this show from start to finish, and I had a pretty puzzled experience overall.",8 "It is a really good movie, but I have seen it before. There is a documentary film about the same story. My problem is the movie add nothing to the documentary, for example Titanic's chose to tell the story of Jack and Rose as a main story then the Story of Titanic ship had made the difference. The director used the same frames as the documentary and Even used the same CGI. The writer did nothing Literally ,But the director was able to could save the movie but he didn't and the proof is ME. I saw the documentary seven years ago on TV and I didn't remember anything when I have watched Escape from Pretoria until The director and his cadres exposed me everything. The writing of course was the main problem.",5 """Captain America: Civil War"" is an Action - Sci-Fi movie in which we watch the Avengers being divided after a conflict about a serious issue between Captain America and Iron Man. The Avengers are divided and the have to choose sides. I found interesting this movie since it was entertaining and it contained plenty of action. The plot was simple but interesting because it contained plenty of information about some characters and their history, something that was connected very well with the present. The direction which was made by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo was very good and they both did an excellent job. The interpretations of both Robert Downey Jr. Who played as Tony Stark and Chris Evans who played as Steve Rogers were very good and their differences were presented equally good. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Daniel Brühl's who played as Zemo, Tom Holland's who played as Peter Parker, Chadwick Boseman's who played as T'Challa and Paul Rudds' who played as Scott Lang. In conclusion, I have to say that ""Captain America: Civil War"" is a nice action movie and I recommend everyone and not only the fans of Marvel Cinematic Universe to watch it.",8 Great move through and through. Doc Ock is such a great villain and Alfred Molina plays the best octavius and doc ock. So glad they're bringing him back.,9 Didn't make it through the first season. It's a lot of shock and awe. Hardly any real plot line or character development. If you enjoy shows with violence and nudity this is for you. I wanted to like it but it was just not engaging.,4 "First of all I am a great fan of James Cameron, and I went to see this movie with great expectation. But very sorry to say that, what I got was a total pathetic version of mediocre VFX-LOVE-DRAMA-STRUGGLE movie. When I am writing this comment, all those great memories coming into my mind, that first Script Treatment for Avatar I read from the Internet years ago. All those images and there happenings in the script envisioned, went totally upside down when it was finally filmed. Set in the future 2154 the story starts with a man named Jake Sully a paraplegic former marine, who lost his twin brother and arrives on planet/moon Pandora to replace his brother's assignment in the Avatar program. What is an Avatar? Basically the term taken from Hindu Religion which means incarnation of one of the Hindu Gods taking a flesh form. But in the movie it stands for injecting a human's intelligence into another remotely located biological body. IE, On Pandora the superior life forms (much like humans) are called Na'vis very tall, lean, blue skinned, big eyed creatures with tails. Since humans cannot breathe Pandora's atmosphere, scientists have created human-na'vi hybrid bodies called Avatars. So they may easily interact with the na'vi and na'vi address them as Dream-walkers.Things went wrong when Jake took his Avatar form in a much more emotional level. As a VFX student/artist myself, yes Cameron done a great work. It's the first time the Notorious ""Uncanny Valley"" effect (A viewer intelligence to find unrealistic human characteristics in a CGI Object)failed in the big Screen. The VFX characters never looked so realistic or more precisely looked ""PEOPLE in BLUE RUBBER MASK"". Total achievement in Visual Effects standard point, the Sound editing, Animation, perfect in all sense. Even tough, personally I think the main character design of Na'vi's looked pathetic, especially that blue color, but hey it's Cameron's favorite color tone. But the problem in the Avatar is the whole story, JC worked so much in this project for years, but he lost in polishing it, mainly because he concentrated his energy on the VFX side and it can be seen in the whole picture. The major movements in the movie made me Deja Vu, especially that romantic pairs Forest scenes directly taken from Major Walt Disney Animated movies like TARZAN, SPIRIT STALLION OF THE CIMARRON and exactly from FERNGULLY THE LAST RAINFOREST. And let face it, Cameron is not good at Sissy girly melodrama stuffs so we find mediocre weak dialog, awkward love scenes through out the movie, and I can understand that he's a SCIFI LEGEND not a Woody Allen! ( In Terminator he got help from his uncredited co-writer William Wisher for Sarah Conner's dialog.) If he had left off the romantic angle the movie could have been much better, or may be he just added to make it more DRAMATIC. But the whole story suffered a ""WALT Disney Taste"" because of that. Also the music by James Horner was annoying especially in the humor scenes, it sounded stupid and lame. Cameron should choose some one with more integrity and soul like Hans Zimmmer or James Howard Newton. The war cue and the main theme is so forgettable, he should have given his dream project to his usual collaborator Brad Fiedel. And the cast assembled for this movie was so bad especially the main lead actor Sam Worthington with his dumb voice accent and screen presence I wish to crush my 3D glass. Cameron should give chances to black actors. Anything came good was from Giovanni Ribisi as the aggressive corporate administrator with less screen time. And also Zoe Saldana was interesting with the ""ACTOR DRIVEN PERFORMANCE"", also must give credits to the animators and VFX crew. But the most threatening shot I found in this VFX Glowed movie was Sam Worthington realistic poliomyelitis legs done in CGI/Prosthetic practical FX. The Less FX is Much enough, Cameron should know that Rule and should never go to the roots of George Lucas. And I must say the whole Three D experience was not good as I expected, I should have went for the normal theater, this one hurt my eyes and enjoyment. All in all this is not the Avatar I anticipated, I imagined a far more a intriguing vision from the Terminator Director. What I got was a James Cameron's Mockery of Walt Disney movies. You will enjoy it if you are new to Hollywood Epics, but as an experienced movie watcher I give this movie 3 out of 10. Only because 1) James Cameron directed THE ABYSS! 2) James Cameron directed TERMINATOR!! 3) James Cameron directed TITANIC!!! Avatar = Walt Disney Movies on Steroids.",3 "This movie was NOT funny, but rather a pathetic commentary on how badly American high schools prepare our population to create, uphold and operate a country of ethics, compassion and competency. I keep reading that this movie hits home with viewers, and that it reminds them of their own high school years. That fact makes this movie even sadder. This movie is not just basal and insulting, but it disgustingly selfish and lacks respect for women, intelligence, honor, or character. No wonder our country is so screwed up. Governments are a reflection of their people. We have become a stupid, vulgar lot.",1 "Francis Ford Coppola's 'The Godfather Part II' is not just a sequel but a cinematic revolution in its own right, seamlessly intertwining a prequel and sequel to craft a narrative that expands the saga of the Corleone family. The film commences with a hauntingly poignant look at the early life of Vito Corleone, portrayed with a simmering intensity by Robert De Niro, whose performance pays homage to Marlon Brando's iconic role while establishing its unique presence. This historical backdrop enriches the story's depth, laying a foundation that resonates through every scene. Parallelly, the film explores the complex and turbulent journey of Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino, whose evolution from reluctant family outsider to a ruthless mafia boss is depicted with a subtlety that speaks volumes. The duality of these narratives, separated by decades, is interwoven masterfully, reflecting on themes of power, legacy, and moral decay. The narrative structure of 'The Godfather Part II' is a feat in itself. The screenplay, co-written by Coppola and Mario Puzo, adeptly manages to balance the historic rise of Vito with the moral and familial disintegration of Michael. This juxtaposition is not only a storytelling triumph but also a commentary on the corrupting nature of power and the erosion of the American dream. From a technical standpoint, the film is an exemplar of cinematic craftsmanship. Gordon Willis' cinematography creates a visual tapestry that is both lush and foreboding, capturing the era and mood with an almost painterly grace. Nino Rota's score, haunting and nostalgic, weaves through the narrative, accentuating the emotional weight of the story. As the film progresses, it becomes clear that 'The Godfather Part II' is not just a story about a mafia family but a reflection on the human condition. The performances are universally exceptional, with each actor bringing depth and nuance to their characters. The film's climax, which brings a shocking revelation and a devastating betrayal, is handled with a subtlety that is heart-wrenching. In conclusion, 'The Godfather Part II' is a masterpiece that stands not only as one of the greatest sequels ever made but as one of the finest films in cinematic history. It is a film that demands introspection and admiration, leaving an indelible mark on the viewer. My personal sentiment echoes the critical acclaim it has received: this film is a profound piece of art. Rating it anything less than a 10 out of 10 would be an understatement. It's a film that transcends its genre, offering a poignant exploration of ambition, family, and the complexities of the human soul.",10 "This movie is so paper thin I really can't write much about it. So many missed opportunities in a film about one of the most spectacular and complex battles of WWII. I can see what Nolan tried to do here, a kind of British ""Thin Red Line"" (there's even wind in the grass, lol, i kid you not), but he failed spectacularly. There are no memorable characters to be found here, and one wonders even if there are any actual characters at all. Not one, not one of them has any semblance of a character arc. Not one. Again, I see how Nolan tried to convey the impersonality of war and insignificance of the individual but he did it with such a heavy, clumsy hand, providing us with no counterpoint with which to drive the point home. It's basic screen writing stuff really. I'd expect such ineptitude from a first year film student but not from a supposed ""master of the craft"". But anyways, this could have been forgivable if the film was more about the event itself, but it fails at that too. After watching the film, you'd be given to believe that the Battle of Dunkirk was fought by three Spitfires (100 were lost over the beeches alone), 1 German heinkel, a couple of stukas, 2 destroyers or a dozen or so boats... Oh yes and maybe a few hundred men standing quietly on a beach, doing nothing except desperately trying to look morose and dejected in a faintly passive-aggressive way. It's ridiculous. We are talking about total and absolute chaos happening there, hundreds of thousands of rifles alone discarded on the beach, not to mention guns, artillery, trucks... Burning and sinking ships of all sizes all across the horizon, parts of beaches inaccessible from rotting corpses washing up with tides. This was actually way bigger than D-Day landings in terms of men and equipment stuffed in a very small patch of land. Half a million desperate men stuffed in a small town, bombarded incessantly and under constant attack from bombers. Where did all those people defecate, what did they eat ffs? I wanted to know that, really. That at least would have given some much needed humanity to the so-called-characters Nolan keeps yanking around like so much puppets. So many missed opportunities there... If Nolan wanted to do a tight little film about isolation and desperation of being on the loosing side of the war, he had plenty of other places and battles to choose from. Just ask around. Or if he simply had to insist on Dunkirk, then we should have seen this total chaos all around our protagonists, in the background at least - that would have served as a really powerful, so desperately needed counterpoint to the individual suffering and heroism. And this brings me to the final point. The movie is one tone only. A monotone repetition of sights and emotions we've seen and experienced before. No one cracks a joke. No one really breaks down. No one has an embarrassing moment. There are no ups and downs, it's just some morose faceless robots performing obvious actions leading towards a bleedingly obvious goal. One single emotional and narrative tone from the beginning to the end. The entire emotional and narrative content of the movie would have fit snugly into a 20 minute short, and that is pretty much how long it takes before you start yawning. The best thing that can be said about the movie is that individual scenes are well directed and worth experiencing. But that is the real problem here - the film is constructed as a series of impressive ""experiences"" rather than cohesive piece of drama (And this particular historical event is almost uniquely stuffed with dramatic opportunities. It's almost as if golden-age Hollywood writers wrote the script for the actual event.) In other words, it's a Dunkirk theme park rather than a movie. You take rides. And that's it. And even those become repetitive after a while.",6 "I get depressed watching this show, feels more DC then Marvel. The writing is awful, and simplistic. Character motivation often makes no sense. It misses the Marvel touch. It's a far cry from Wandavision.",4 "It a not a psychological thriller. It is a boring drama with good performances. It is not the best movie you have ever seen. Only a liberal arts student will think so. It's boring, it mediocre, and the rubbing of male flesh certainly thrilled the Artsy viewers. You will NOT Be entertained ......watch if nothing else is on. Those great reviews are straight out lies.",3 "This movie is not worthy of the talents of Steven Spielberg. It's clear that it was not intended for the audience who grew up with Jaws, Close Encounters, Indiana Jones and E.T. Instead the story is aimed at the mindless video game lemmings who are losing the ability to do anything but play with their joysticks and the latest video romp. By the way, they used to say that television was too violent but have you seen some of these games? They are nothing but non-stop violence. I weep for our future. And I screamed out loud at this terrible film. If you are over 25 don't waste your money.",2 "This is a summer film with so low expectations of possible audience that every hoax (=the speculative magic trick done by four tricksters) is explained as soon as it's showed to happen. The old rival magician (Morgan Freeman) takes care of the explanations, but the final twist of the movie is so stupid and unnecessary that you start to think that maybe it's also part of the bigger hoax... how to get your money without giving really any substance to care for, not even the undercasted characters. After seeing ""Now you see me"" you will miss films like ""Prestige"" with real aura of enchantment. Only good reason to watch this childish film is the pursuit sequence in NY. It's much more fluent in magic than any of the stage spectacles in this film.",5 I loved the show but i dont like he is being beaten by dex.,7 "I don't know why people are so hard on this movie. It's pretty good. Not as good as the first Annabelle movie but still good. There's nothing original or new about it and at times is a bit slow but the acting is good and there are some pretty creepy moments in it. Could have been better if Ed and Lorraine had a more substantial role in it but it's an interesting addition to the Annabelle movies. If you liked the first two movies, there's no reason not to watch it.",7 "I really wanted to like this show, being a huge fan of the games, so I gave it four episodes before rating it. It's just not good enough. Though there are massive shoes to fill, I cannot understand how cut scenes from the game have better acting and script than this show, whose action sequences are bereft of intensity or peril. Pedro Pascal does his best but Bella Ramsey is poorly cast, coming across as more petty and antagonistic than childlike and tough. I'm aware that there has to be a difference between role playing as a character and being an observer, but the show feels like a careless remake, botching every emotional high point with poor edits and choices. I was excited for Mazin's 'Chernobyl' realism, but it looks like that standard will not be met. The rave reviews are baffling.",5 "Episode 3 of The Last of Us is one of the best single episodes of any tv show in a long time: it has almost nothing to do with the central plot, and instead is a beautiful love story. And that's about all you can say that works in this rather dreary zombie (but they're not quite zombies, they're mushroom people!) series. The problem is that outside of that one hour everything else is simply by-the-book, and it's not a very good book. The Pedro Pascal character is a one note, grumpy unpleasant hero, while Bella Ramsey plays one of the most irritating characters ever to appear on the screen: spoiled, nasty, and annoying, and on top of that, this little creature is able to take out many grown men whenever the plot needs her to do so. And that's the real problem here; this is a plot driven show, the action comes out of the need to push the story forward, not out of the characters themselves. All in all, this is simply another in a long line of end-of-civilization shows, and the only reason it is getting such good reviews here seems to be due to those who love the game it's based on. For the rest of us, outside of Episode 3, there's nothing to care about.",3 "Marvel owns the most anticipated film sagas of the year, we already know that. The problem is that the big bosses at Disney know that too, and are taking advantage of it to profit more and more, without the proper commitment to us, the fans. In ""Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness"" we are presented with a ""camouflage"" beautiful to look at, making, perhaps, the most fanatical fans or the disconnected ones not realize the real catastrophe that is this movie. Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange) delivers once again what is expected, nothing too much but maintaining his standard of quality, Xochitl Gomez (America Keys) and Benedict Wong (Wong) have a simple performance, which is not horrible but goes unnoticed for sure, even more if we consider the poor use of their characters. With Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda) we have the highlight of the movie, with an exquisite performance that, with the help of director Sam Raimi, gave the movie a fearful content, making me really afraid of the Sorceress in some moments, once again Elizabeth Olsen is magnificent! And it is with Sam Raimi himself that the second and last positive point of this film occurs: the personality imposed in the script. Unlike many directors and employees of Marvel, Sam Raimi does not bend to the gears and standards imposed by Marvel itself, the film has the director's face and he takes advantage of the freedom given to him, giving the film more horror, making us often question the film's rating. But even with this ""freedom"", Raimi can't escape Marvel's clichés and clichés in certain moments, as well as all Marvel's films. They treat us like loyal and comfortable customers who always want more of the same, without surprises or contradictions. As one character in the film herself said, ""In the Multiverse there are solutions to all problems."" And that's exactly what Marvel seems to be doing and enjoying, taking advantage of the immensity of this universe and serving the fan with everything he has always wanted, even if this requires sacrificing excellence and often consistency. It seems to me a desperate search for screams and applauses (well, we all know this means more profit) without caring about the quality of the films, after all, when everything is possible, nothing else matters. In the feature film, at key moments, the search for screams and applause is explicit, trying to recreate what once worked in ""Avengers: Endgame"" and ""Spider-Man: No Way Home"". However, this time, without the narrative coherence and excellence seen before, ending up in just a simple search for acclaim (which unfortunately was met, after all the audience goes into delirium in scenes where my only reaction was ""What's going on here?""). In an attempt to present us with a Multiverse of ""craziness"", it actually just shows how disappointing this adventure can be, giving us only a glimpse of what could have been, impressing us with such different and chaotic universes (after all, who hasn't fallen in love with the Ink universe moment or the comic book one?), But in the end we are faced with the comfort zone and nothing out of the norm, an ""ordinary"" universe where the big differences are in the smallest details (walking on red and pizza balls, really?). At all times in the film, people are placed to explain what is happening, as if they were ""chewing"" the information so that we don't have to think too much; at every moment someone always tells us where everyone is, how they got there, and how to find a way out. When something important happens, there is always someone willing to explain what happened in detail, as if they were explaining it to an unsuspecting colleague, even if they were explicitly explaining it to us, the spectators. The CGI tries to camouflage all this by showing us beautiful art and universes, and I confess, watching it in the cinema was really a beautiful experience, however, even in its only attempt to enchant us, Marvel fails, for some times it was possible to see the green background without any effort. The first arc of the feature was one of the worst movie starts I have ever seen, simply chaotic but not in a good way, in a disorganized and uncontrolled way, you barely know what is going on and what do you know? Not even Marvel themselves knew, they just crammed in a bunch of baseless information and dumped it in our faces with the premise of the ""Multiverse of Madness"". Now, Madness is one thing, Sloppiness is another. We don't even have time to empathize with America, she just shows up needing help, and that's all she needs for Strange to defend her to the death. After all, who wouldn't give their life, their house, their temple, and their sanity to a girl you just met, who you can't trust, whose only arguments are ""I need help""? I honestly didn't care about the girl during the whole movie, I thought Wanda could do whatever she wanted with her. Speaking of Strange, here we see a really strange case, after all, who is he really? The Doctor Strange from movie 1? The one from Infinity War? The one from Spider-Man? Or the one we have just been introduced to? I was confused, they don't look like the same person to me, did Marvel simply ignore the continuity of a person's personality just to fit into their disjointed scripts? Well, the answer is yes, Steven Strange unfortunately doesn't follow his personality because even they don't know how he should act in situations anymore. But then you will say ""People change with time"", Ok, we agree on this, but the situation clearly is not that, our dear Doctor is taking different decisions in each movie he is in, in a way that makes me question what happens between one movie and another for him to change so much. But let's talk about the main premise of hero movies, the fights! E... They are disappointing, unfortunately. The battle scenes are almost dynamic at times, but they don't work, because for the most part it's two mages face to face, fighting at a distance with spells, where the only action is them making faces and mouths. And I won't even comment much on what everyone, even the most ignorant, realized, the poor humor of the feature, gee, it brought me a feeling of shame in certain scenes, it seems that it was thought by a child of 7 years, jokes totally lame and placed in horrible moments, it hurts. In summary, the movie is a cluster of random characters making jokes and whining while fighting in weak fights covered in CGI and special effects, where their only effort is to make a bad face. The post-credit scene placed for only one purpose: to show that there is more to come. And it works, we understand and wonder about what may come next, but even this scene behaves in a similar way as the whole movie, running too fast and for no reason, Steven doesn't even wonder if he should trust or not, just more information dumped in our faces. It seems to me like a bad joke from Marvel to us, they don't care anymore about the quality of their movies, they make everything fast and fill it with fan service just to cheer and ignore the quality that it should have, after all, only the final movies should be really good right? Once again they take advantage of the fanaticism and idolatry previously conquered and abuse it to gain more profit, filling the movie with effects, non-stop fighting and uncontrolled fan service. Marvel is worrying a lot more about selling than convincing!",3 "With good comic book movies being incredibly rare, one may not know what to expect when seeing one. I came into this sequel with high expectations, though, since the first one was a pretty well made film. Since the original spent enough time explaining the origin of Spider-Man and all of that nonsense, I figured that the sequel would be full of a lot more action and Spidey's web-slinging tactics since no time would be wasted on how the character got his powers. I was correct. Spider-Man 2 is absolutely fantastic, and perhaps much better than the first movie. How Dr. Octopus was incorporated into the movie's storyline was done perfectly and his fight scenes with our friendly neighborhood Spidey were amazing. The visual effects were top notch, featuring some of the best I've ever seen in a comic book movie. The acting was good, for the most part, aside from some quirks with Kirsten Dunst's performance. Anyway, Bruce Campbell's cameo was one of the best parts in the movie, as he was very hilarious as usual. The only part I didn't like was the very end, when the movie set itself up for another sequel. It was introducing a storyline that I wouldn't really care to see, since it'd be pretty much just like the first movie, but, hell. If that's what they want to do, there's nothing I can do to stop 'em. I just hope they'll wise up and introduce Venom in a 4th movie if not the 3rd. A Spider-Man movie series without Venom would just downright be a travesty. Comic book fan or not, it'd be extremely hard for one not to enjoy Spider-Man 2. It has enough comic relief that's actually hilarious to mix with some beautiful action sequences and visual effects to keep most moviegoers happy. My personal opinion is that this sequel is even better than the first movie, but I'm sure many out there will agree.",9 "Well done Netflix. 1st season was great and made me thrilled waiting for season 2 and it was certainly worth the wait. Season 2 opened up a whole new world of interesting paths. To bad about the flying fish. That was really inappropriate and ruined it for a while, but didn't bring the excitement down as the story more than weighted up for it. 3rd season, bring it on. (Worth mentioning that this is quality in an other level compared to the desperate attempts by Netflix to provide content and political correct low level content that has started to fill up the playlist which is why I stopped my subscription for a month. Netflix, if you read this, please bring season 3 and more sci-fi).",9 "Another Neftlix narrative. The actors lead by Henry Cavill do a brilliant job! Same goes for camera, visual effects, cosumes and all the others realizing this production. These people are the 4 Stars of this rating. The downside is another baffling poor (netflix) script that fails to capture the viewers interest. In fact the chaotic script hurts my brain almost every episode. The producers seem to have no choice to cover everything with senseless violence. This extensive exhibitation of violence only rizes disgust but does not help the bad skripting. The only light in this senseless darkness is the marvelous Henry Cavill. His performance is the only reason I could bear this lunacy till the last episode (season 2).",4 It's not interesting. The director's excessive force has some emotions that cannot be expressed.,4 Black mirror is very amusing series to watch but after some time it gets really boring,9 "Only 2 stars and that is for production values and world creation of 60'es and labor energy of the set workers. There is no development, no progress of the character even they claim there is. This could be shot under 1 hour. Barely managed to come to E4 and quit. Do not bother, go and watch Shamalan's ""Split"" if she is your favorite female character.",2 One of the best TV-series I've ever watched. Mikkelsen's performance is great!,10 "I really enjoyed it even if the dodgy pedro pascal edits made it seem looked on as cringy, i thought the casting was great except from sarah and overall great adaption of the original game, if only it focused more on the infected! Dont get me wrong the people were actually really good but i wish it had more of a balance. It sticked really well to the plot and vibe of the original game so im super super thankful about that too. Cant wait for season 2!!! David was also really well played to the point where he actually made you uncomfortable which is good for what he was in a tv show, really gave off the right atmosphere.",8 "Wasn't sure what to except from this film after ""West Side Story"", but was very pleasantly surprised with this film. Right from the start with the one screen introduction by Steven Spielberg himself, and him thanking the audience for viewing the film in a cinema (although he assumed that it was night time but hey just a small detail). The cast were great' even Seth Rogen was tolerable as he played himself yet again, but just reigned in was interesting to watch, although both Michelle Williams and Paul Dano were the most compelling to watch as the family drama unfolded. The themes of art, family, genius and following your dreams were expertly woven together. The main character's introduction to film was great, just loved the shot of the huge audience filled cinema, to which the irony of what the cinema experience is these days was brought into stark contrast as I sat in a tiny theatre which was barely bigger than most home cinemas. Super-8 days were the best, and it was fun watching the teenage Sam as he learned to take his first film making steps, although how he managed to cover the beach party run with just one 16mm camera and do Slow-Mo shots, well, artistic license I guess. The end was perfect with just that light whimsical touch I love from a director whose films I've appreciated for nearly fifty years.",8 "This film is a Tarantino visual montage of a time in Hollywood which he obviously adores. But even though i enjoyed watching some of these well-acted vignettes, the lack of a real plot here made this one forgettable.",6 "I think along with Mohanlal's oppam this also glorifies the criminal, his super mental and physical capabilities. Its irritating to watch and sometimes you feel why the movie is not ending at all. Keeps dragging on and making a mockery of the whole ecosystem. Acting is ok but making a superhuman of a criminal and giving it a poetic and meaningless dramatization just doesnt make sense in normal world. Some will like the genre but its not watchable more than one time. At the end i was happy it ended and i could get on with my life hahahaha...waste of my time really",1 "I'm a big fan of David Fincher and the photography and atmosphere is above expectations. But...: this film is so boring and so pointless that the audience is carried for 150 minutes only because they started watching and want to see how it ends. You're going to be disappointed. More sophisticated people will tell you that this is a master piece with tension and atmosphere and crude but simple violence. Just because a film peace is sloooow doesn't mean it's a good film. So many times you think you're close to solve the enigma and this sad plot works for those who doesn't know the (real) story of the Zodiac that is depicted in this film. Trust me: spare you a lot of time and go on Wikipedia to read the Zodiac story which is complex and chilling without the need of a dramatization of a pointless 2 ad a half hours.",5 "I don't usually watch foreign films. However, this is base from real life event. Although the characters in film especially the military characters are based off from real life unsung heroes they amazed me by the military style operation in the film which was to me very realistic. The characters who played those military personnel also made it more realistic. For a debut director I have my hats off to you sir! This movie was worth watching and I look forward to more movies coming out like this.",10 See I was not expecting the movie to be so good. All the actors did an amazing job. Pankaj Tripathi was the only actor who was attached to all other stories in one way or the other. Dialogues in this movie are very good but the most amazing thing about this movie is its direction.,8 "To sum it up, this is the first Spider-Man film with everything leveled up.",9 "I feel like if you told an AI to write a movie based on Clue, make the characters annoying modern clichés, and throw in a couple minor twists this would be the result. A bunch of tropes and over the top gimmicks, it's not interesting. Janelle Monáe's character was mildly intriguing and the only reason I kept watching. The rest were annoying at first, just a bunch of modern clichés, but not far into the movie they were just boring. Not even the ensemble cast of fantastic actors could redeem this movie. They were all good in their roles, but the writing just didn't make them interesting. I was underwhelmed by the first Knives Out, but the characters were good and it was pretty entertaining. This one was a waste of time.",3 "Acting was great but overall, a huge disappointment!! This movie might as well been a freaking soap opera. I had high expectations but feel like I wasted time watching this. Usually superhero flicks are action packed, but this....not so much.",4 "I loved season 1 and really enjoyed season 2. But the writing is so bad in season 3 that I'm struggling to continue watching. The individual stories are weak, the characters motivations are even weaker. It's really as if they hired first year writers that hit every single pitfall. Characters just materialize out of nowhere just for the plot, then disappear. People kill others with no sense of consequence or political weight. It's absolutely amateurish. They also introduce a lot more characters so it becomes confusing, and after S03E04, there is still barely any connection with the plot from season 2. I see why Calvill left.",5 "My Personal Rating - 6/10 In my opinion it's not as good as most of Witcher fanboys here claims to be. And before some people downvote this and ignores my review, I want to let you know that i am a genuine Witcher fan as well. I have read all the books, played all the games. I'm just expressing my opinion about the show and here it is. One of the main things that i have noticed from watching the first single episode. That frustrates me is like just how rushed and disappointing The Lesser Evil short story is that i didn't even had time to develop to the characters at all. Which kind of ruined the immersion for me. And also the way that it felt that they just really rushed through the other short stories in later episodes especially the Edge of the World, where it literally felt so bad and very far from when i have read the same story from the Books. And they seemed to have continued this trend to other short stories as well. Where they changed the approach plots points from the short stories. But with almost the same conclusion, except for Question of Price, Edge of the World. Where in my opinion they got butchered and ruined for me. They pretty much deviated from the source books as much as they can and decided to wrote their own story that simply doesn't work as well as the books. Especially with the writers with their amateur writing quality and the very fast pacing with constant jump cuts every 10 minutes that somehow ruins this show. Now to the positive things that i have liked from the show. The fighting choreography was flashy but looked really good talking about the one on The Lesser Evil not the Bounds of Reason with cringy Aard Kiss. Acting performance of Myanna Buring as Tissaia and Freya Allan as Ciri and Jodhi May as Calanthe really stands out as well. Henry Cavill as Geralt looked really good too. Pros: Cons: Rating On Each Aspect In my opinion the writing of the changed approach plot points just didn't felt really as good as the Books. But despite all those complaints still in the end even with my reasonable skeptical expectation. I have still enjoyed it a bit and i was interested to continue watching through it. And i'm interested enough to Season 2. I give it 6/10 overall. It was not bad, but it's definitely not amazing either like most Witcher fans claims to be. And as a Book adaptation: 2/10. They obviously didn't kept their promise of being faithful to the books at all. Like most people have claimed when some people criticize the show of being inaccurate.",6 "This show is super cool in premise. In reality it's gore more gore, sex and more sex, gross and more gross. I guess that's what people want. It could have been just as good without all that. Who am I? Right? God Bless America.",8 "The cast is great, with comedy legends and Selena Gomez shining in her role as well. It's a great blend of comedy, lightheartedness and thrill, making it a great watch. I def recommend if you are looking for something new to watch.",9 "I choose to view it as the latter, perhaps in my interest for self-preservation, having made it to the end. The subject matter is undeniably interesting and the cinematography is beautiful but little else rings true; the story, its pacing and tone, becomes overbearing far too early on, with less patient viewers likely giving up nearer the start than the end. Its greatest flaws could have been its greatest strengths had stylistic choices been used more sparingly. The overuse of sound and mood music is not just overbearing, it becomes comical. Even with the sparse dialogue, every character speaks with some form of affectation, which again doesn't ring true, and is likely part of the reasoning behind the criticism (by many reviewers) of the central character. Viewers beware, it is not just her; all of the characters are irredeemable by viewing standards, irrespective of their roles, their contrived or harrowing backstories, or their philosophical beliefs. The plodding, not meditative, pace and heightened musical interludes offset a cast of worthless characters, characters that act dumb and/or emotionally as and when the script requires them to do so, for there really are no choices to be made. Even one of the lighter, more relatable characters, the old, fat 'programmer' starts to wax poetical towards the end, standing in the hallway like the idiot he is determined to be. Should this cast of characters be what is left of humanity then extinction should be considered a godsend. Nothing lasts forever and perhaps that is as it should be.",4 "Probably the worst show I have ever seen. They simply start the show off and throw everything at you, expecting you to know what's happening and what everything is. NO introduction to the world. NO setup. There's multiple different timelines and they don't even tell you when the time period is or anything so everything gets confusing. Horrific writing. Horrific storytelling. And on top of it, it's not even entertaining to make up for it. Flat out BAD.",1 "This is not about the atomic bomb, and it's not about Oppenheimer's life, nor it is about the scientific community that had to turn it's brain toward war instead of science, nor about the horrible legacy that Project Manhattan created. This movie is about nothing at all! Except maybe it is about a small vindictive politician that no one remembers any more, and that no one outside the US even knew he existed. Also why centre the movie in Oppenheimer, when the scientific community has almost forgotten him? How can anyone make a movie about the atomic bomb and what it took to be made, and make it BORING!?",2 Everyone talks over the other during the whole movie! I got a headache by the half of it. Not a fan.,2 "I really wanted to love this as much as I loved GoT vut in every way - except for the music - it's a poorer cousin. Sadly, all of the characters are either unlikable or insipid, and the casting involves choosing faces that are just so slappable and annoying. I'm rooting for the dragons to take them all out in a giant but unremarkable furnace. The older Rhaenya is lovely as is the first leader of the Queens Guard. Maybe the dragons could kindly spare them? It lacks the lustre and film quality of GoT, the special effects are not really special. It's a GoT wannabe done on a low budget. I am disappointed and I really wanted to love this. Drat!!",3 "This movie starts out with 19 minutes of gratuitous gore, that adds no value to its sense of adventure. It features a super cool, already unbelievable car chase, which involves a bright green colored Alfa Romeo, specifically selected for a stealthy op. But I would have bought it, were it sans the gore and a caricaturesque surgery, performed with only a couple of instruments and apparently no disinfectant, in the middle of said car chase, by a 24 year old doctor (literally) that again, adds NOTHING to allow the viewer to immerse in this alternative reality presented by director: Michael Bay. This 24 year old doctor, by the way, is also quite a proficient shooter, a fashionista and apparently a master rock climber; and in case you were wondering, the patient in this car chase, is still shooting and seems mildly annoyed at the inconvenience of being intervened while she's busy. I of course understand this movie attempts to be more like a modern day Batman with a larger team, but is it too much to ask for a movie of this nature to be coherent? On the plus side, Ryan Reynolds commits and like always, does a good job of acting. Also, the locations are beautiful, and the cars are cool.",3 I am so sick of Natalie Portman. She plays the same character over and over. What a has been.,2 "I would have walked out of this film 30 minutes into it, if I went alone to the theater. Anyway, to sum it up: This film was a torture to sit through. Do the directors think that every audience member has an attention deficit disorder? The film tried SO hard to blast the audience away with special effects and quick editing every other 5 seconds that it forgot a storyline. Leading to my point, what the was the film about? I still have no idea, nor do I care to know. It was a confusing mess. And I could care less about any character in the film either. I was actually hoping to fall asleep in the film because it would have been a better well spent two hour dream than this nightmare of a film! But all the noise of the film wound up giving me nothing but a headache. They should have a discount for an aspirin on the back of the ticket because you will need one after seeing this film. For a real sci-fi film that is completely brilliant and moving, go rent MOON (2009). MOON only had a budget of 3 million, with only one person starring in the whole film, and it had more beauty in it than this inception disaster could ever dream about.",1 "If you've been loving the MCU films recently, then this will probably be your favorite one yet. It's absolutely jammed packed with material, and the more MCU films you've seen, the better it'll be. However, the movie is dragged down by an extensive runtime, and jokes that miss the mark. Endgame takes too long to get going, and then seemingly never ends. And most of the humor is hit or miss; it just feels out of place. Overall, Endgame wraps up the Avengers ark reasonably well, but it's too arrogant and lacks any real sense of quality.",4 "This critically acclaimed film follows the life of fictional oil tycoon Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis) from 1898 to 1927 as he first discovers oil, seeks to expand his business (along the way hearing about an oil rich farming area and striking it big), works to establish a pipeline to circumvent railroad shipping fees, and finally we see the state of his life when he's finally achieved his ambitions. On the surface this may seem to be a good backdrop for a fascinating character study and period adventure. And perhaps it is. However, I for one walked away from the film very disappointed and empty. Here is yet another example of what the ""critics"" seem to love in a movie these days. A movie is now a monumental achievement and great art if: 1). The production values are high 2). The running time is over 2 1/2 hours 3). The film gives the aura of being an introspective morality play 4). Christianity/Christians are shown to be stupid/eccentric/hateful/abusive, etc. 5). We see someone slowly descend into madness or evil 6). There is no clear-cut protagonist and no redeeming values presented Now if this is your idea of a great movie, then by all means watch this one (and a million other hyped films with the same elements). However, I fail to see the point of watching a movie where we are drug down into a pit of darkness and made to waller in the filth up to and through the very end. That is all this film offers. While Day-Lewis does a decent job in his role, it is one that is never makes sense to the viewer. For such a long film, the character development is poor, and it consistently sends a mixed message about greed, corruption, loyalty, family, religion, capitalism, etc. This film with it's dissonant score, dramatic cinematography, method acting and slow, slow pacing tries REALLY hard to convince the viewer that he is watching some very important events happen in the heart of our little oil tycoon. When a film has to try so hard, it's NOT a good sign. But then I guess it was good enough to fool the critics. In the end, although there were good elements such as the whole scene in and around where the oil derrick catches fire (this was a wonderful technical achievement which blended well into the story in an unobtrusive way), and Day-Lewis' solid performance, it was not anywhere close to enough to carry the overlong non-sensical film that leads to nowhere. It's not even worth watching once. Avoid it!",2 "It was not THAT bad but it did remind me old superheroes movies and when you watch movies like infinity war and then venom, you have to be realistic and not let your hype for the movie change your actual criticism for it, it was not awful but the acting was bad and the movie quite boring, only vemom scenes were good but that doesn't change the fact that the whole movie kinda sucked, the 1st end credits scene was awesome tho.",5 "Wow.. this show is insane. I want to start off by saying that I know movies and shows overdramatize true stories so I'm speaking solely about the show right now. This goes from you rooting for the main character to you hating her.. like a real life Anakin Skywalker story.. IF this is close to what actually happened I would have been horrified to have been a part of this company. What a truly terrifying slip into ""The Dark Side"".... Wow.. just wow..",7 "The trailer caught mt interest. I watched the first episode and it drew me in. The show has got quite the serious/adult vibe, both main characters being professors. There is a nice historical element which lends this universe some credibility, apart from the fact it takes place in contemporary time. I rather revelled in the series. So much even that I ordered the first book. I read it in no time and now I'll be waiting for book 2 and 3. The books surpass the series, long time. Both are great, don't get me wrong, and ofc differ a bit, but the books are just neat.",8 "It was mildly enjoyable for 3/4 of the film, but the ending felt like another movie was spliced in. Very disappointing ""best picture""....I can't explain why without spoilers, so I won't try.",6 "The colourful & musical ""Barbie"" is set in the plastic uptopia of Barbieland - a Helen Mirren narrated doll's world of: 'Stereotypical Barbie' Margot Robbie; token Kens like Ryan Gosling (with HIS token Michael Cera) & John Cena; empowered Barbies like Issa Rae & Alexandra Shipp; and 'Weird Barbie' Kate McKinnon - into which existential confusion seeps (with Mattel CEO Will Ferrell) via a portal to the real world (thru America Ferrera (great)). Greta Gerwig directs with striking bright vibrancy, but her co-writing (with Noah Baumbach) is bogged in its 'struggle against the patriarchy' theme (despite a light veneer). It's fun - but with a heavy-handed message.",7 "Season 1: 8.5/10 Season 2: 8/10 Season 3: 6.5/10 (but that may be too harsh, I seem to be in the minority) Season 1 was great; it had heart, good pacing, and showed a lot of potential. You cared about the characters, and the show took risks that I've never seen other shows pull off. Mostly intense violence, but also the impact that the violence caused on our characters. It wasn't senseless violence; but forewarned, there is plenty of it in this show. Season 2 was good, but it's rating is likely inflated because it was coming after a good season 1 and it didn't fall flat. There was still promise and potential within the show. Season 3 was overly stale and formulaic. Here's the formula: shocking gory scene; shocking sexual scene; Homelander acting crazy but never even doing anything; redundant friction between Hughie and Butcher; and on-the-nose attempts at portraying woke BS as satire, but it fell real flat for me. Pacing was off, it was often boring, and honestly nothing really even happened. We are nearly in the same place we were at the end of season 2. A big MEH for season 3.",7 "this movie didn't do it for me it was not as good as every one said. the hype is what killed the movie for me, i was expecting it to be amazing but the story was lame it's a rip off of dancing with wolves and the special effects wasn't that good in my opinion, i thought district 9 had much better special effects.i did have a lot of fun watching this movie though, the action was great and writing and score were good. if this movie didn't have the hype it did i would have liked this movie because i tend to like movie that are underrated because i 'm not expecting any thing to great but with this i felt that people are to suckered in to movies that are made by Spielberg,peter Jackson and sames cameron but peter Jason's movies are great all around. my general thought of this movie is it's a fun movie to watch but nothing else.",4 "This movie was an absolute blast to watch!!! Great characters, storyline and effects!!! A must watch peeps!!!",8 Good writing fantastic casting and a brilliant story . I'm hooked .,9 "Personally I love to watch Naveeen Kasturia in anything. He is a gem and in this series he acted very well. The direction is amazing and music compliments every frame. Even if you're not an aspirant, you will definitely enjoy it. Let's watch it.",8 "Reaching for the stars, failed to take off from the orbit.",3 I thought it was amazing because there were more stories about the main characters! I really liked the bit where the Robinson's celebrate Christmas despite being stranded on an ocean planet with a toxic atmosphere with no power on their Jupiter after being there seven months! Then they convert their ship into a sailing boat! Lots of different stories and quite a few revelations about the Resolute! A few close calls for the Robinson's and Dr Smith and Don West! Also a big surprise on the last Episode! definitely worth watching and better then Lost In Space Season one! Cant wait for Season if there one!,9 "Last night, after my months of excitement for this to come out, finally came out, i was super stoked to see what they did with this. I've played the game a few times all the way through already, so i can recall what events lined up with what the show is based off and thats the game. Right off the back the start is way different, they have a flash back of men talking about the virus back in 1968. They flash forward to modern day to give it a little bit more back story and then boom it goes to zombies just like the game so A+ there. I dont have any complaints, my only thing is if you're trying to make a show or movie based on a game, get people who look like the characters. Other then these few things the show is so far very similar to the game and they've done a great job. I think you should watch it if you haven't played the game and don't want to.",8 "*no spoilers* Michael Bay is great at this movie style. I was expecting less quality I have to admit, but I had great fun. Effects are awesome, sound mix is powerful and the musical score is great. The story works well and the acting is descent on the better side of good. Some pretty faces and bodies help with the overall sense of enjoyment. I was entertatined, well done!",7 An original tv show from marvel. Wandavision look like its not a marvel during 2-3 episode. It was very surprising at first and after it become a classic marvel like we all know. But for the beginning it was pretty clever to do this. I really appreciate marvel to try something new and they did it very well. Congratulations!. Really enjoy it and put a high score just for the risk they took with wandavision.,9 "This movie is full of pop culture references. I recently watched this and thought I was watching a family/kids movie., but the language is of course part of the PG-13 rating. The movie's real world sequences seemed like they were CG as well as the actual CG world of the Oasis. My ten year old loved it. The plot reminded me of the Matrix with a mix of the LEGO Movie.",6 I would say it started well but things start getting boring later and its totally boring end.,7 "Thanks to Netflix, we have an Indian TV series which is at par with the Hollywood TV Series, In terms of Quality and Production value. On the lines of hollywood A-list film makers and Actors are part of this series which makes it top notch and incomparably better than the usual Indian TV series. Don't compare it with any holly wood series because its unique to the Indian scenario but it stands right at the top with any high rated Hollywood TV series.",9 "It's sort of hard to review this movie since it's not really one movie, it's set of several intercut and overlapping short stories with their own appeal. I suppose it's meant to be a meditation on the spontaneity of fate. Along the way we get a lot of colourful characters. It's never exactly funny or poignant but it's stylized enough to be worthy of our time and give something for cartoons to parody for years to come. Ultimately, it's really just an exercise in badassdom but it does that pretty well.",6 "Well, after amazing spiderman series, its not a surprise to get such a movie from Sony. Let's talk about the cast first. Tom hardy as venom is great! He just fits in the role pretty well.. But the supporting cast is not that good. eddie brock's girlfriend or fiancé has zero chemistry with eddie, All the scenes with both of them are skkipable. The villain, is so damn bland.. Its a casting disaster. If this movie had a good casting, then it would have shined. The script is lame and predictable. It looks like an episode and not a movie. The action is ok, considering the budget it could have been epic. A similar movie called update came out before venom and it had quite a similar scenario but it has a really good Screenplay and action sequence. I was expecting venom to be better than upgrade but pheww didn't happen. The movie is yet watchable only because of tom hardy, rest is just mediocre!",5 "My view of the show is tainted by the fact that I was expecting an Anti-hero, a real one. I've gotten a little tired of the 'I can't kill but I'll beat bad guys into coma's' spiel and I wanted an Anti-hero that accepted his grey morality and didn't feel the need to explain himself to anyone. Daredevil isn't as gritty or as dark as I wanted, It didn't take me into a deep place that so many have, most notably, Watchmen. But it is good. I liked the story but I wanted a masterpiece. I'm interested to see how the protagonist develops and where they're going to take him, Whether he ever gets the stones to kill or whether he just has to play the 'good' guy. I haven't read the comics and the movie didn't leave much of an impression but I'm hopeful for this show. It has the potential to be great, It just needs a writer that's willing to dig deep and isn't afraid of the dark.",7 I hate giving negative reviews but this is well and truly deserved. I'll even upgraded to Imax hoping for real magic on the silver screen but was let down by a stodgy movie that only managed a 5 out of 10 because of the ending and because it ended! Please stop rinsing this wonderful franchise into the ground.,5 "There is no doubt that the cinematography of this series itself is a best thing. Sync multiple characters in one screen it tough. So 80% credit goes to that Storyline is extremely poor. One liner jokes might be good for a short video but doesn't hold up in the story based drama. So that's one major weak point of the series. Bhuwan took the advantage of already established characters so he didn't put any effort in describing them which is good for old audience but not helpful for new audiences. Many jokes are below the belt which makes it difficult to watch it with family, which is not a negative point unless the approach is to gain new subscriber from this series. Story is poor, twist are predictable and sometimes doesn't feel like twist. Bhuwan did a excellent job in doing all the characters, as always. So 10/10 on that. Basically, if you are a BB fan then you might like it but if you are new or just his subscriber then you might find it boring just after the first episode. I would have given 5 as a rating but as a token of appreciation for the effort I am giving it a 6.",6 "These MCU shows are not showing much promise for the future of the franchise. I find all three shows so far to be so concerned with being ""woke"" that political agenda has become more important than presenting a fun and entertaining product. Which is sad because most people are sick and tired of everything being political. The MCU has probably peaked with the last Avengers film. But, hey, at least we had that for a little while.",3 "My wife and I dislike Elizabeth Olsen already, so we knew this was going to be painful. We watched the first two episodes, and want that hour back. We don't go for that ""it gets better"" because it should've been great right from the start (which also applies to everything in life).",1 "If you have never read a good book or seen a good film, you may like this... Truth is, that this series is utter nonsense, entirely unrealistic throughout and mostly poor acting. All is foreseeable and excitement is little. If you liked Narcos, Breaking Bad and Ozark, this is a complete waste of time. I have watched Series 1 and parts of 2, during waiting hours on call, but really... It is a waste of time and I have reverted to briging in books again.",1 "A lazy, dull and derivative mash-up of a bunch of thrillers and cardboard characters we've all seen before. The basic premise was most notably laid down in Monty Python's The Funniest Joke in the World, except they actually meant to make a joke.",2 "For all those who think, that it is The Masterpiece - it's not, not even close, here's why: 1) The only strong role was Joker. Acting of others was above average. But Ledger, in my opinion, deserves a huge credit for making his character so impressive and realistic. 2) Second half of the movie got boring, because of the action scenes that were made only for the sake of action. At some point I started to ask myself a question ""Why"". I didn't find an answer in the movie. 3) Story is quite acceptable, but those that claim Dark Knight to be an art are floating somewhere near the epicenter of Americas self-indulgent ""culture"", where grown people are still more interested in comics than real art. It's a shame to see this movie near the top of IMDb 250. Even though I would like to write 3 or 4 for it, I decided to give those extra minus points in the name of some disoriented cinema spectator, who thought it to be perfect. Just beside Shindler's list and Pulp Fiction? Are you serious? To sum it up - I would advise all those that praise Dark Knight, have a few hours lecture about history of cinema. They might be surprised, what genial directors are capable of. I would suggest starting with Kubric, Tarkovsky, Copolla, Lynch... And after the lecture adjust their evaluation scale accordingly.",2 "I'm not someone who likes to predict the end of things, this series screams at you who each person is in the story, it does not get you intrigued at all episode by episode, it's a very basic series with nothing out of the common american stories, I would not have watched it, if you're into quality stuff, don't waste your time. The dialog is terrible, the interactions are quite cringy, the character development is really poor and goes as expected. I'm not a hater when reviewing, but this series really really got the worst of me, it could not have been more predictable and mainstream than it was.",1 "I gave this movie an 8 out of 10 because it is one of the best if not the best comic book movie out there. However, if you look at past comic book movies released, being the best of those isn't really a big achievement. A lot of times the action is turned up and the testosterone fueled intensity is thrilling; however, the story and character acting usually takes a back seat. The last comic book movie I saw was Thor 2, and I was disappointed because I felt like I had seen that same movie many times. They always seem to follow the same beat up the bad guys and a few scenes of inspirational monologue formula that is successful but devoid of any qualifications to make it a stand out movie. The Dark Knight somewhat changes that, and is actually a stand out movie that loosely follows the same formula. However, this movie is overrated. Heath Ledger's death contributed to that, along with over-hype from WB. While this is a great comic book movie, it is definitely not deserving of the number 5 spot on the IMDb top 250.",6 "Overdone story line, terrible directing - every scene is sooo busy and people talk over each other constantly bc that's 'energy', and not only Kate Winslett's acting for which the word 'over-acting' seems to have been invented, her silly method-acting way of sucking on this nicotine dispenser (!), no, most acting is overdone and annoying. Trying to do a Fargo...? Nice try but not even close. Now the main thing: the accent, she's so good doing the accent. OMG that's the claim to fame for this show, really?",1 "Michael Bay is a terrible filmmaker. His narratives and editing are all over the place. But his gross sense of humor and thrillingly violent scripts redeem him. Ryan Reynolds' character is not very relatable, but he is funny as always and acts the part well enough. If you don't understand Michael Bay or Ryan Reynolds, this film will horrify you. But if you do and just want to have fun, definitely recommend. Netflix wins again.",7 Puts me in a 80s euphoric place with the script. Can't get enough!,7 "Arguably the greatest animated series of all time. Rewatching it recently has just cemented it in my mind as the GOAT animated show. The characters are human and believable, the magic system is impeccable, and the emotion is real and affects the viewer in a personal way. Uncle Iroh and his relationship with Zuko is admittedly a personal favorite. It's a beautiful commentary on familial love, forgiveness and redemption. I love this show and it's one of the few that have made me shed real tears. The fact that this came out 14 years ago is astounding. A true timeless gem!",10 "Ben Mendelssohn is always wonderful. And the music is spooky. But for me that's about it. But we are now up to episode 7 and nothing has really happened since the first episode. I know Stephen Kings books are horror, but I wish somebody would put me out of my misery and just tell me the ending.",4 "Its not funny. Make bestest from that. Its just timepassing lol how everyone give nice review. So Bhuvam Bam improve ur self more n more. Best of luck for future.",1 "The just don't make movies like this anymore. The Fabelmans harks back to filmmaking pre-capes and CGI, with a collection of excellent character studies, even better acting, and Spielberg showing us how he became the master. Sammy Fabelman is the pre-Jaws Spielberg, a young filmmaker going through family crisis, anti-semitism, and puberty blues in Arizona and then California. We are provided millions of delicious Easter Eggs from Spielberg's filmography; with each subplot a self-contained little story that ultimately contributes to the whole. Dano is a generational talent, with Williams more than holding her own, and LaBelle brilliant as the teenage filmmaker. The Fabelmans has everything; humour, pathos, darkness and drama, all working together to create a sensational film. 9/10.",9 "This review was made after watching the entire show of 26 episodes. I have never been interested in anime, to be honest, until about a year ago (I'm 32 years old), when I decided to give a chance to one of the most famous ones (in the form of Attack on Titan). Suffice to say, i realized what I had been missing over the last couple of decades so I treated myself with Berserk, Vinland Saga and Tokyo Ghoul so far. But this review isn't really about any of those. It's about another anime that seems a bit like an underdog when compared to those heavy hitters. And this anime is none other than Claymore, which by far impressed and touched me the most out of everything I've seen so far. In a nutshell, Claymore is about a a group of superhuman female warriors which fight monsters known in-universe as Yoma. These young women bear the same name as the show itself...Claymores, mostly because of the gigantic swords they use to do their fighting with. In a way, you can think about Claymore as a mix of Berserk and The Witcher. At first glance, the premise of the show sounds very simple and straightforward, right? In a way, it is and in other ways it isn't. Without spoiling anything, this is a tale of revenge, betrayal, friendship, comradeship, despair and hope. And not necessarilly in that order. In any one aspect taken individually, I'd say Claymore is inferior to the anime I mentioned earlier. Attack on Titan has a more epic story with many characters that get enough screen time. Vinland Saga is more cohesive and has tighter storytelling, while Berserk has more in-depth character reflection and a dichotomy between the leads which is legendary among anime fans at this point. So why did I love Claymore more than anything else? Short answer, the characters. The main character, Clare, is one of the best protagonists in a series I've ever seen. She doesn't even have a huge amount of dialogue, but what is there is usually well written. As you learn more about her and her story, you can't help but empathize and connect. I gotta say the show has some moments where it pulls on your heart-strings like nothing else. The supporting cast is is also full of interesting characters, both on the good and bad side. Some of them have very short presences in the show, but they are very memorable nevertheless. The world of Claymore is quite a bleak one but at the same time beautiful. Despair and fear is as pervasive as it was in Berserk, for example. But, even so, one of the things that impresse me most in this world and story is the were the pervasive themes of hope and perseverance. Now matter how dark things got, and they do get really dark, you still feel the character's holding a bit of hope that they will prevail. And that bit of hope passes onto you, the viewer, as some scenes keep you on the edge of your seat and you tell yourself that there's no way to win but still hope that they will. And while these warrior women have superhuman abilities that wouldn't be out of place in a Marvel or DC comic, they never feel overpowered, as the horrors they have to face are an order of magnitude higher even than that. Animation-wise, the show might feel a bit dated, but it is in no way bad. Combat is extremely fast and stylish. It is very violent but I never found it gory or disgusting. Despite having a lot of it, I never really thought the show offered its violence in a gratuitous manner. The Claymores, at least the more important characters among them, all have unique features that set them apart from one another. Even in a setting where all Claymores are blonde, athletic women with silver eyes. I read in another review that the Claymores looked all the same and that is simply not true. Clare, Teresa, Irene, Galateea, etc all look unique. Here I would also like to give praise to the creators/animators for not spamming you with fan service or the over-sexualization of the female characters. They treat the female body with more respect than other series I've watched. Another great asset of the series is its soundtrack. In the first few episodes I actually found the music bizzare, but as I got sucked more into the story and setting, I realized most songs fit perfectly. Also, one of the best intro and outro songs I've ever heard in a series. The voice acting is also top notch. While i've been thinking of Claymore ever since I finished watching it a few days ago, and as I'm rating it a 9 here, it still has some flaws, which I'll mention next. The most glaring that fans were upset about was the ending. A lot of reviews might tell you the ending is horrible and you should just read the manga and avoid the anime entirely. For what its worth, I'd advise you to do the opposite. As a non-manga reader myself, I found the ending to be decent, if not great. That's mostly because it left a lot of unanswered questions and was not entirely definitive. But to me, it just felt like an ending to a chapter, if not the whole story. Ironically, it was this ending that got me to read the actual Claymore manga. Some of the dialogue can also feel a bit basic, with characters stating the obvious when its not required. It can be over dramatic at times and too sentimental for its own good, but that particular aspect is very subjective. I might have rambled a bit here, but all in all, I highly recommend Claymore if you want to see a touching, if quite violent story, featuring some badass but still vulnerable ladies.",9 "That scene is the reason I for the most part despise Tarantino. I get the Hollywood throw back, I get the shout out to the golden age and all but if that's your angle then just make a documentary. let's just talk straight watchability of the Sharron Tate scene... Tate wanders around for 20 mins smiling looking at signs, goes and watches her own movie smiling like an idiot. It developed no plot, no character, no story arch. I would have been more entertained watching Real footage of her going through a McDonald's drive through. It. Was. Utterly. Pointless. Then we get dragged through a bunch of actors acting in scenes while playing actors acting. Then a bunch of uninteresting hippy scenes that are clumsily connected to the last 30 mins that all of a sudden turns into a dog mauling, acid tripping, flame thrower killing.... Pitt, DiCaprio, Pacino (what was up with his cameo by the way? There was less time spent on his involvement and story arch than in the entire Tate watching her own movie scene) This movie was a criminal waste of talent. There could have been a story here but instead we were given Tarantino nonsense and a script that would have been cut from PBS programming got the nod because Tarantino's name was on it. How about some accountability? +3 for just the sheer quality of acting present but I am awarding zero points outside of that, I could have written a better story, I would say that about very few movies but this exposes how bad Tarantino can be IMO. 3/10. HORRIBLE.",3 "Okay the plot will not win any Oscars, the villain is the epitome of one-dimensional and there is a generous helping of pure cheese in much of the dialogue. However, this is a Michael Bay film and what you do get is non-stop action and craziness with genuine moments of humour. Somewhere in there is an ethical message too, about wanting the world to be a better place. Which is nice.",7 "The good: -Hans Zimmer's score. That was a given. The score is about on par with his score from the original, though I do prefer the original ""...To Die For"" instead of the new ""Stampede."" Otherwise, it felt like a really nice remaster of the original score. -They actually sing The Lion Sleeps Tonight to completion! -Some scenes (that are almost exactly like the scenes from the original, mind you) are genuinely magnificent to look at and experience. -Seth Rogen actually makes a pretty good Pumbaa. -Beyoncé is great, surprisingly. -For the most part, the visuals are truly remarkable in terms of realism. -The kid who plays Young Simba plays him eerily similarly to the original child who played Young Simba. It's uncanny. -Most of the supporting performances are fine. The Bad: -Whose idea was it to give Eddie actual lines? I mean, I love Eric Andre, but still! -The opening scene looks like it's from a video game cutscene (a recent video game, mind you, but still, it has some of the weaker effects in the film, disappointingly). -Donald Glover as Simba is...eh? I mean, Simba in general is weirdly uninteresting in this movie. -The cover of Circle of Life is...not great. The Ugly: -Wow. The animals have literally no emotion whatsoever. Their faces are just there. They look like animals. Especially Zazu, he by far had the least emotion in the film, and watching his beak simply go up and down when he talks was weird. -The animations are sometimes not great, which ruins the realism of the visual effects. -WHO DECIDED TO CHANGE BE PREPARED?! This version of Be Prepared was absolutely awful. The original was better by several orders of magnitude. It's barely even a song, it's mostly just a rhyming speech with music playing in the background. It started to actually get good after a little while, I was finally starting to dig where it was going...AND THEN IT ENDED! It was so bafflingly short. It was embarrassing. -Chiwetel Ejiofor's Scar was pretty abysmal. I don't blame Ejiofor, but he is absolutely not intimating at all. I do blame him for his delivery of certain lines, though. Where Jeremy Irons delivered them with genuine malice and swagger, Ejiofor just sounds like a whiny child. -The film completely lacks the soul and the goofiness of the original film. It feels bland and lacking. The slapstick comedy is gone, the animals' emotions are gone, the very likeable villain is gone...it's just empty. Favreau seems to have just taken the visuals and the writing from the original movie and just made it photorealistic, but he forgot to make the rest of the movie, if that makes sense. Overall, this remake is exactly why Disney needs to stop remaking classic films. Art is timeless. No one goes around painting new versions of the Mona Lisa or Starry Night, or writing new versions of The Lord of the Rings. The same should be the case for films.",4 "Regarding the movie Dunkirk When Saving Private Ryan premiered in Bristol 1998, I was the youngest person in the theatre. Around me were elderly English war vets. I could tell, they wore their veteran uniforms and veteran badges. During a couple of hours elderly men and women quietly sobbed in their seats watching, and possibly reliving, the war all over again. This wasn't a normal cinema experience and I don't think I will ever experience one like this again. It changed my view on war and the fact that I and my country Sweden, in fact have no experience of war in modern time. But we are pretty much the only ones in Europe, or the entire world for that matter, with a 200 year history without wars. Steven Spielberg pulled this off. He made Europe remember WWII all over again and he educated the young and helped (?) elderly to closure. Spielberg is a movie maker who knows very well his genres and how to not mess with them. Enter Chris Nolan. A movie maker famous and known for science fiction and fantasy. With Dunkirk he shows at least me that he is as predictable as a dull Adam Sandler. My biggest concern when I sat down to watch Dunkirk was weather Nolan would stay true to the genre or if he would put his sci-fi magic into it. After ten minutes I realised I was watching Interstellar again and I had to fight the urge to actually leave the theatre. What annoyed me the most was the sci-fi sound effects, scifi music score and the shallowness of the historical event. Is the movie good? Well, Nolan's fans will probably like it, Generation Y will like it but people who, like me, had a life changing experience with Saving Private Ryan, won't be as thrilled or impressed. Imagine Schindler's List in the hands of Christopher Nolan. Darn right, thanks but no thanks. I didn't like it at all.",4 "Categorized as ""Crime,drama,mystery"" , this is unfortunately just drama, and nothing else. If you love slow tempo drama, then this is definately for you. If you are looking for a police/detective crime-mystery-suspence-plot twist thriller, then this is definately something to avoid. Actually, if you are looking for anything beyond anaesthesic drama, this is to be avoided.",2 "Superb script, direction and BGM. The leading actor Vishnu Vishal did a great job. He acted naturally. He is the backbone of movie. If the role is acted by someone other, it may be enjoy like this. The villain also did a great job. He is also the main thing which makes us sit at edge of seat. Overall great impression.",10 "His name always meant something for me. I am a huge fan of his and I have been a collector of his movies for a long time. I adore the way he directs and tells a story. You can always find the same unique taste in his movies. I feel that having this coming of age film, depends on his own real life, from him is a phenomenal chance for me. Especially being able to watch it at the cinemas, where movies are supposed to be seen! Seeing frames from his childhood with this amazing cast was indescribably amazing. Michelle Williams, my lover in every movie she acts in, was always sparkling with her amazing acting skills. Paul Dano has gotten better and better from the first movie I've watched of him throughout the years. He's become a real hollywood star for me. And speaking of stars, I feel like saying this, no one but Gabriel LaBelle could have fit into this role more than him. I am perfectly sure he's put so much effort onto this role and all that perfectly paid off. He looks amazing, he sounds, acts amazing! Without a doubt Spielberg felt so proud of him. I hope LaBelle has a bright future in this business and he never stops because I know that he'll be the rising star. I appreciate Spielberg so much for giving this chance to him. The colour grade is remarkable, not the one Spielberg always uses but for this exact film it worked out so well. I'd had a worry that the aspect ratio would be classic wide 2.39 : 1 but when the movie started and I saw 1.85 : 1 was chosen, I was more excited than ever because I'd really wanted to watch this speacial piece of art on a full screen. Long story short, I adore this film. It made me think so much about my life, about his life and everything. Definitely one of my favorite movies at all times. I can't wait to own a poster and of course a bluray copy. That's was it :)",10 "I am a huge fan of the books, the game and Henry Cavill. Unfortunately Netflix made the shameful mistake of allowing a group of writers to destroy the amazing story that was told in season 1. Season two was marginal and season three is trash. Now I know why Henry decided to leave. Netflix should fire all the members of the production team that destroyed this series. What a shame. Replacing the current Geralt of Rivia with Liam Hemsworth is, however, a gamble. Cavill is a particular kind of anti-heroic hunk: clipped and stubborn, dry almost to the point of being wilfully humourless, confident that others will crave his gruff approval. He looks grubby, and many Witcher watchers would like for him to continue in the same role. I understand why Henry wants to leave and I will not watch this series without him.",1 "I remember when season 5 started on FOX on Sunday, January 15, 2006. I was watching the show right before it (I want to say it was ""Family Guy"" but I really don't remember), and the previews for season 5 hyped up the first 10 minutes of this new season. I figured I could watch 10 minutes and see what all the fuss was about. After 5 minutes, I was hooked. If you want to try the show, my advice is to rent the first disc of season 4. It is my personal belief that this season has the best beginning. It is also the best indicator of what ""24"" is like, and if the first two hours do not get you hooked on the show, then nothing will. If the start of season 4 does hook you (which it should), then go back to the beginning. Start with disc 1 of season 1, and enjoy. You might have to force yourself through the first couple of hours, but you will be greatly rewarded with the drama that follows throughout season 1, and every other season. It will be difficult to stop watching season 4 after what you see, but there are things in season 4 that you will not get the full significance of if you do not go back to the beginning. Every season is very enjoyable on its own, but to get the full effect, it is best to go in order. My father and I did this in the summer of 2006. Having seen all of these episodes myself, I know how good they are. My dad wanted to try it, and now he is hooked. As I am typing this review, he is in the process of catching up in season 5. He is watching two episodes a week, and he is constantly calling me as we talk about the show all the time. During this summer, we watched each of the first four seasons together. He would tell me when he could only watch one more episode and then had to go to bed. One episode without commercial breaks is about 40-43 minutes. Nearly every time he would say ""one more"", we would watch 4 more hours because the cliffhangers were so good, he couldn't stop after any given hour. I was the same way during that year in college. I would say to myself ""after this hour, I gotta go study"" at 1 a.m. 5 episodes later, I would still be saying, ""Ok ONE MORE hour, and THEN I will study"". I have also done the same to a friend of mine in college. She and I watched season 4 together, and we watched the first 12 hours of that season in one night. This show is nearly impossible to get away from. The heart-stopping action from minute to minute makes 24 by far the best show on television. Every cliffhanger drives you crazy as you do not want to wait another week to see what happens next. The show is not flawless. On very rare occasions, part of the storyline seems a little thin, but those moments are so few and far between that you can and must overlook them because you want to see how it's going to end. Kiefer Sutherland is the only person that could play the role of Jack Bauer. Then again, maybe it only seems that way since I have grown accustomed to seeing him in this role. With that said, he has quickly become my favorite actor. I would say that his performance blows away everyone else in the show, but there is not one actor in the show that I have disliked. From Reiko Aylesworth and Carlos Bernard, to Dennis Haysbert and Mary Lynn Rajskub, and everyone else in between, the cast is phenomenal. As with any show involving plenty of violence, characters die. I will not say who or when or how, but there have been several amazing actors on the show, and just when you think they have killed off your favorite, someone new comes in that is just as good. You don't think that a show could constantly find such likable actors and characters, but ""24"" brings in the best people for every role every time. There are people I know who have claimed that they tried the show and did not like it. Those people made a mistake. They watched an episode in the middle of the season. Because a season on this show covers one day, and every episode is one hour out of that day, you can't get much from it when you start in the middle of a season. My dad tried that in season 5, and he did not like it. Once he tried it from the start of a season, well, you already read that. He is almost more hooked than I am. My brother did not like the show either, but his problem was that he was not interested from the start. He felt an obligation to humor me and give it a shot, but he sat through it as if he was just waiting for the show to end. He did not try to enjoy it, and he didn't. As long as you try the show from the beginning of a season, (I suggest the start of 4), and as long as you are open to the possibility of the show being enjoyable, I cannot imagine a viewer not getting hooked on ""24"". Some characters take time to grow on you. Others won't. Some shows take time to grow on you. This one won't. If you have not done so yet, find a friend who has the DVD's or rent them, and start catching up on, and enjoying ""24"", the best show on television.",10 "We get to see even more of the dynamic between Eddie and Venom, especially after their spending a long time sharing the body together! And we have the entry of a new more powerful symbiote to challenge this cool dynamic!",8 "This is a decent film, there will be arguments over accents, location and facts but this is the film industry. You will never find a film which truly tells the story correctly from all points of view. If it says based on true events then please realise its likely only 10/20% accurate, look at the Crown. Back to the film, its a good pace and never drags which makes it an easy watch, I wouldn't say its gripping or life changing its just a simple film, just don't assume this all facts.",6 "De Niro displays the importance of exposition in any great story. What can be dismissed as a literary device can be just as crucial in cinema. This sequel not only added to the original, but it opened up a whole new way of thinking for filmmakers.",10 "This show is fucking amazing. Superhero being employed and on social media, it's interesting. And Butcher is just funny and great. The Boyz team is cool. SN 2 is just awesome. The Boyz squad is officially formed.",9 "I watched 4 episodes of season 3 before I decided that I'd rather just not watch any more. Seems like there was a lack of vision and direction. The costumes and sets and actors were there, but it just seems like the actors weren't given any material to work with. So disappointing to be given such one dimensional characters after 2 seasons of character building. It was like I had no idea who I was even watching. I was so excited to see what would happen with Ben, only to be disappointed with his shallow storyline and motives. The new characters that were introduced were useless and forgettable. I'm going to save time and just read a synopsis of what happens next. My suggestion is to watch season 1 and then season 2 only if you're Klaus or Five fan.",2 "Fargo is an intelligently comedic, violent, emotional, and dark composite that's certainly one of the quirkiest pictures I can ever recall seeing. Prior to writing up this review, I read the comment that Fargo can never decide what genre it seeks to be. Despite my grievances with this comment, I do believe that at times Fargo's various elements could've been integrated more effectively. However, these elements are all accomplished and the overall picture is a commendably smooth venture. In regard to Fargo's black humour, to some extent at times I struggled to conclude which material was intended to be humorous, and that which was intended to be serious and impactful, as the borderline between the two felt slightly blurred. Much like the picture itself, Fargo hosts a plethora of quirky and unique personas, made even more credible by the distinguished efforts of Macy and McDormand. Fargo's intelligence is reflected in it's subtle lines of dialogue, events or shots that mimic or reference similar material featured earlier in the film is consistently used to phenomenal effect. It should be noted that the ending sequence is a commendable and reflective accomplishment that demonstrates how self aware the Coen's were of their creation.",8 "...so this one will have to settle for 10/10. These movies truly are great if 2/3 of the trilogy are on the top 250, as #1 and #3 (as of 2/27/08). This movie was similar to the first in the basic story within the family, also a lot of the characters from the first are in this movie also. However, there are new challenges that cross the Corleone family. There are also new characters, some the family is familiar with and some not. There are also new enemies and obstacles the family face. One of the main differences is that the story does not take place only in New York. In fact, only a fraction is in New York, most takes place in Nevada, Florida, and even Cuba. There seem to be a few different stories within the main plot of this movie. And they all work quite well. This movie will be loved by fans of the first.",10 "I have just sat through both seasons in less than 24 hours. I enjoy good television and this is good mindless television. Buts its an overall average show, but one of the better ones. Things that stand out are the two young actors portrayals. Both have done a great job of playing overwhelming roles very understatedly. The supporting cast have done a superb job on this series as well. The use of music on Another huge stand out in this series, and especially notable in the second season is the cinematography. Beautiful backdrops and foregrounds. The cinematographer knows when to use it to their advantage along with the beautiful lighting and music. Good acting, interesting plot. 7/10.",7 "While most of the reviews are made by fans (at least I hope that, and not made by Netflix's paid people), I never read a word of the novels nor played the games. So, this is a fresh show to me. Guys, this is not a GOT-copy. It's a copy of Hercules: the legendary journeys!!!! Let me explain: more budget, a better production and a better script (only a bit better), but it's essentially the same thing. A hero looking for adventure, on company of a stupid friend, some love interest and individual chapters, everything together into a wide arch. Entertaining some times, others is SLOOOOOW.... Very slow. Please work into better scripts, they are the hearth of everything. I'm sure you can do it far better.",8 "I felt compelled to open an IMDb account just to give this film a review. I kind of knew what it would be like but also hoped it would have something...some humour, something original perhaps. But no. Predictable and back slapping, high fiving, ye-hawing. Mahoosive Stars and Stripes flags all over the place and Iranian fighter pilots that looked like Darth Vader. Hated it. 1 star for the flight sequences which were exciting. 1 star for Tom's excellent hair dye. No stars for anything else. Terrible script. Awful acting. No characterisation. Do not waste your time. I can't believe this film is so highly rated.",2 "My teenage son, Joseph, dragged me to this film, as I wanted to see Oppenheimer, instead. However, i was not disappointed in the film, and especially by the performance of Margot Robbie, who had already made a big splash with her quirky and entertaining Suicide Squad role. Ryan Gosling is fine as Ken, but I thought that another actor might have been a more appropriate choice, as Gosling is a fine dramatic actor, but is not really noted for satire or comedy. The director refrains from making the film too preachy for the majority of the movie, but sometimes lets the film bog down a bit during the transitions of Barbie Land throughout the film. None of the secondary characters were really too memorable. Other than that, the film is entertaining, and a pleasant way to spend a rainy afternoon at the movies.",6 This was such a disappointment. Christopher Plummer was by far the best in it. Everyone was overacting and were not funny. Jamie Lee Curtis is so good at comedic roles but wasn't good in this. Daniel Craig's performance was shocking. Go back to Bond movies or action ones. We nearly had to turn it off. Very predictable as well. No shock at the end. Can't believe the critics liked it.,1 "Season 1 is spectacular Season 2 is ok But season 3 is awful, is trash. Please don't waste your time watching this series.",1 "I don't really leave a review too often but I have to for this. I can't remember how many times I watched this masterpiece, I simply can not get enough of it. This is one of those shows that has a special place in your heart since your childhood. It has everything combined perfectly together from story and characters to lore and visuals, it is one of a kind. The character developments in this show is one of best parts of it as it helps connect with the characters so much more. Even though most people think this is a kids show, anyone from any age can watch it and learn from many great lessons it has to offer.",10 "It's never easy to make a movie where English speaking actors speak Russian in English with a Russian accent... That said, if all the characters in Russia were speaking perfect English as Russians it would have been weird too... Does it work? Yes. It works. In fact, it isn't much more different than when an actor with a New York accent picks up a Texan accent. And this is fiction, not a documentary. It's a movie. Is it a good movie? Hmm... It's not a bad movie. All actors are very believable and Jennifer is lovely as always. So not a bad movie, but not a fantastic movie. I have rated it ""7"" and maybe I should have rated it 5 or 6, but I do have a soft spot for Jennifer and I like the simple visual language of the film with the slightly depressing lighting, trying to create the atmosphere of a depressed life in Russia where nobody can trust anyone... So what is the problem with this movie? First of all, I am not sure that life is so depressing in Russia as the film portray it, or that the Americans are such shining white Angels... But that is a subjective feeling, a subjective opinion, but it's a big part of the movie and I am sure that even a true American Patriot will find the black and white description of the Russian characters a bit boring. Ad to that a rather unbelievable story and you will begin to understand why this film is not rated very high in general. So what is the bottom line? The script. The script either needs a more believable story or it should have been a different film with a more over the top fantasy story of super agents in the East and in the West... Also, the script needs more details on the characters who all are simple stereotypes that we as the audience can't relate to... But Jennifer is gorgeous as ever and I might regret my rating of ""7"" down the line (but I know I will watch it again... so...)",7 This movie is really awesome. The actors did their job at the highest level. Everything is sown very high quality. The plot is really captivating and interesting to watch from start to finish.!!)),7 "It's like you just know when you're watching a movie, you know that the movie is great and you going through your mind to find the best scenes and everything also discovering some of them at the end.",7 "That second film from the saga didn't age very well. Tedious and boring scenes staging unrealistic situations or worse, not essential stories. This film is empty. Nothing is happening. Poor acting all over, even from our favorite heroes. The only redeeming value, seeing the A list actors when they were young and handsome. Unless you are drinking the Coppola kool-aid, don't bother watching it again. It will be a good waste of 3 hours of your time.",1 "But boring AF. It simply is a Mark 2 version if the first movie. We watched with our kids (and just for the kids) Not even an hour into the movie, I grabbed my mobile phone and was doing something else. It didn't feel like I was missing something. If they haven't had new ideas for Avatar 2, I cannot imagine what storyline, they want to come up with for 3 and 4 which seem to be already planned. In between there are some philosophical parts, but it doesn't help at all. It feels like artifiicial sophistication. There is no new storyline at all and characters act the same as in part one. Don't expect something special.",2 I'm guessing it's called Birdbox due to amount of Red Herrings & McGuffins in the script. Full of thin characters and an ending more generic than one of Bullocks ealrier Rom Coms. Do not waste your time on the excruciating 2h 4m run time as you could see something of a much higher Calibre on Netflix's original roster. The audience is not as lucky as Sandra Bullock as she gets to wear a blindfold for most of the runtime.,4 "For the record, I gave Iron Man 1 a solid 8.4, for all the calibers and brilliance it delivered. Now with Iron Man 2 I gave it 7.3. Here are my reasons. 1, The comedy still plays out pretty good with Downey's performance well utilized. Though some of the jokes were not as genuine as the original. Jon Favreau's approach of mixing sci-fi action with comedy still works, that's maybe the best news for fans and non-fans alike. Fortunately, they didn't follow Transformers 2's formula ""bigger the better"" or we will see some serious disasters. We still have these jaws-dropping dynamic action sequences which are well controlled and edited. The F1 track one was definitely one of the best crafted sci-fi fighting scenes, almost with a nostalgic feeling attached to it(light saber becomes light whip?)The climax is as big as one can imagine, but there comes the shortcomings. The first Iron Man was so charming to me mainly because as the movie processes, audiences were sucked into Tony's mind of tech geek and crazy stuffs. The scenes with Tony testing all the parts of his design were pricelessly detailed and looked genuine, like you can touch this technology and really invite it into your kitchen someday. But Iron Man 2 was too busy telling a more complex story, giving up all the opportunities exploring more facets of a crazy inventor. So on so forth. 2, Terrence Howard was a better Rhodes, delivering charms by himself or charmed the audiences by being the buddy/nanny for Tony. Don Cheadle feels so serious that he never gave this charming awkwardness as heartfelt as Howard. Beginning with him, I perceived several problems with the supporting characters. Having Scarlett Johnson kicking human asses is a smart move, but she doesn't feel entirely immersed with the Iron Man atmosphere (especially when she fought with security guards while Tony fights robots). The villains, however, are weak. Hammer is supposed to be a genuine idiot, with too much ego and too little brain to be in the pentagon. His ideas are never fit into the Iron Man technology, that's what the movie has successfully illustrated with the climax. With that in mind, one can expect any goofy acts from him. Sadly, he spent too much time on the screen and made him almost like pretending to be an idiot(not mainly due to Sam Rockwell's performance). On the opposite, audiences may find Mickey Rourke much more delicious to watch. He's a total bad-ass with an attitude. Beneath that, he's also a heartless technology maniac(typical villain from Russia). Except the 124 minutes of running time had mostly underused him, portraying him to be someone largely inferior to every aspects of Iron Man(overly obsessed with whip-type of weapons,keep making the same mistake,etc.) Somehow I was expecting him to be the key of saving Tony, but I was wrong because the makers can't wait to get Nick Fury back on screen, and made the story logically plausible but not structurally remarkable. My friend, who also loves movies, remarked that he didn't want to see Iron Man 2 because it's ""too predictable as they bring some bad-ass robot toe-to-toe with Tony Stark and Tony wins"". I told him that's not the point of any popcorn movies or superhero movies, but I guess he's not totally wrong with this one. Nevertheless, Iron Man 2 still boasts with masterful polishing and will most probably be nominated best special effects by Oscar. Enjoy your party with Tony Stark!",7 "My fantasy fiction is kicking in. Yes it is similar to the ""Lost in Space"" that we watched as kids but that annoying Dr Smith is a woman in this one and the robot is some kind of alien creature. Love it. This is mysterious, astrological and enigmatic new scientific knowledge that inexplicable and indecipherable. I leaves you with the wonder admiration and appreciation of the creation of the whole universe, as this amazing and incredible story unfold before us. It take us on a new and marvellous journey and adventure we have heard of but never discovered previously that is both startling, amazing and different. ""There are consequences and context"". Some astounding scenes, landscapes and panoramas that just take your breath away with it's stunning beauty and beauteous space images. This is amazing and incredible when you compare it to the technology of the very first ""Lost in Space"" of the 1960's. Everything is so much more complex, elaborate and detailed, entailing more computer and CGI (computer-generated imagery (special visual effects created using computer software)sequences. Just blows you away if you have seen those first series. Also fabulous and fantastical creatures are part of this fictional imagery rush. You have to have a scientific and fantasy mind to enjoy every new experience that delights your vision. ""Life is not about survival. It is about making a difference""",9 "Loved it, it's ages since I was this excited about the next episode and gutted when I realised it was the last episode and such a cliffhanger",10 "It feels pretty paltry and dry to grade a film on accuracy – especially since ""A Beautiful Mind (2001)"" is a dramatization and not a documentary. But when the director not only chooses to omit significant aspects of its biographical figure but richly glosses over almost everything in his life in a lush Hollywood coating up for Academy praise, then I as John Nash, would feel pretty stiffed at seeing the end result. But then I am not John Nash – I'm just a movie-goer looking to be entertained, touched and inspired in some way, and I was 2 out 3. These two points are difficult to pinpoint, but I would attribute one of them to the acting in the film, which is sensationally layered and realistic from all parties. Russell Crowe may be a jerk in real life, but he clearly knows his stuff on screen and he is very convincing as genius-mathematician-turned-schizophrenic John Nash. We follow his career and his life starting out at Princeton, getting married, and ending up in Stockholm, heartily accepting the Nobel Prize. He ages 47 years in the film but Russell Crowe is perfect at every stage. So the film makes it clear to us that John Nash is a genius man. Yet I was never mesmerized by his 'beautiful' mind – not in the same way I was with other cinematic geniuses in films like Good Will Hunting, Pi, Enigma and Amadeus. This is because you cannot trace his mathematical thoughts, we do not get to follow his genius pattern ideas and oh, when he draws an umbrella-shape in the stars for Alicia (Connelly) IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE AN UMBRELLA. At all. It looks like a couple of dots, sorry. Very romantic, poignant moment though. While this sounds like a happy and acknowledged life, it is everything but for John Nash. He is the victim of schizophrenia, which makes him paranoid, delusional and insecure. He is never at 'the height of his career', but always a bruised man plagued by his own mind. It just takes him a while to realise it and shake him from his paranoid state. This part is handled superbly in the film -- the break-down is perfect and heartfelt and Jennifer Connelly is there as a supporting wife all along. That actually bothered me somewhat, and it is where the glossy Hollywood autopilot is switched on and Ron Howard leans back in his directing chair. While Russell Crowe is great and Jennifer Connelly is great, their marriage is TOO great. The real Alicia Nash wasn't the pretty little devoted wife to a troubled husband all these years; she divorced him in 1963. Another polished detail that irked me (moreso than the perfect marriage) was the Nobel Prize culmination. The real John Nash shared his prize with two others, but in the film Russell Crowe appears as a sole winner giving a poignant, sappy speech about ""the equations of love"", and the audience cheers, claps and stands up at the end of it. So in summary, if you do not mind the occasional lofty Hollywood approaches to drama, then this is a very good film. Russell Crowe carries it, Jennifer Connelly supports it and Ed Harris and Paul Bettany add further weight to an already respected cast. It is a well-sewn together product with nice cinematic harmony and my favourite aspect was the subtle nuances in John Nash's delusions that distinguished them from reality. You can spot this at the beginning if you pay attention. 7.5/10",7 It's not very good . Most of the time it's a snooze fest!!,4 "Convoluted story Characters not fleshed out The internal personality battles grew very tiresome. Didn't have any heart, or seemingly dire consequences if hero failed. In short, I just found my self bored and didn't care in the least by end how it turned out.",3 "Nothing special. Decent, but could have cast more actors that didn't look like they were acting. Kang-ho Song (Ki Taek) and Hye-Jin Gang (Chung-Sook) were great. Not one scene of theirs looked forced. Can't say that about anyone else as they all had moments where they looked like they were ""acting"". I understand the metaphorical meaning and depth of the film which made it decent. I can handle ""can't-place-it-in-just-one-genre"" idea. However, there just is not enough there to make it Best Picture of the year. The powers that be were reaching to award something just to make their own point I think. It's not even in the same category as Joker and I typically don't like films that are gloomy and 70's-ish looking, but Joker was much better and was even similar to Parasite in some of it's lessons on humanity. I'm not saying Joker should be Best Picture either because I didn't see hundreds of movies last year to make that call, but it was the best I saw in 2019. If you can either understand the spoken language of Parasite or don't mind reading subtitles, then it's worth seeing--partially for the meaning, partially to say you saw it, partially so you can see for yourself that an ok movie can win Best Picture. Tune out the idea that you'll watch a comedy or a drama or a thriller or a horror movie--its a blending of a lot of things.",6 This series is for the perverts ...such a waste of time...

As with the good comes the bad. Promising as this was, having a weak spot for actor Robert Sheehan and love for Ms. Blige, I don't remember binge-watching anything with such a desire for it to be over, even skipping some scenes during the last episodes. Except for Allison and Klaus, I still haven't warmed up to most of the characters tbh. I would go as far as to write sometimes the actors were outperformed by a monkey and a robot. For some reason the whole thing felt unhinged, it never grabbed my attention, quite the opposite in fact. The visual effects weren't good enough to make up (pun intended, as the make-up and prosthetics were badly executed, something I noticed in other Netflix series such as 13 Reaons as well) for the poor story-telling, and without spoiling anything the ending was unsatisfying to say the least. I found myself rolling my eyes at the screen.

If you read the books or even played the games don't bother watching Netflix's witcher-like show cause it'll be a huge disappointment. The creators of this abomination aren't capable of understanding the witty dark humor of Sapkowski's novels, there's no climate, no soul, nothing left of sarcastic and proud Yennefer, cynic and selfish womanizer Yaskier or highly complex philosophical Geralt of Rivia. The writers should have read the whole book series, not only the short stories. The show is dull. It's generic. Something I won't recommend watching. Ever.",1 "From the badly filmed opening scene to the painfully bad dialogue and weak characterisations, the pilot excels on every level at mediocrity. The score desperately tries to fill holes, practically begging us to believe there's serious drama where there's painfully bad writing and direction. I could dissect this dross and explain every flaw and tell you what they should have done but I forced my way through to the end and that's enough wasted time. I love Sci-Fi. But I have my standards. This rubbish falls hugely below them. *Very* disappointed as I was really looking forward to this.",1 "This was all spectacle and no substance. The mystery doesn't even start for an hour. And then it's just a long rehash of the early bits as Rian Johnson tries to show you how clever he is. The first half is just characters being edgy and monologuing about their superficial life problems. We never get to know any of them beyond their outrageous facades. And even when we finally get a character to root for at the halfway point, her tale of woe feels forced and comical, like it was cribbed from a daytime soap opera plot. Benoit Blanc is an after thought in this, but not in the way he was in the first one. In Knives Out his aloof manner was the draw and his quirkiness helped maintained intrigue. Here it is just a rouse to attempt to keep your interest as characters ham it up and Johnson tries to justify his budget to Netflix by stretching this stinker to 2 1/2 hours.",3 "Movie is good but it's a remake of Kannada Film ""Chigurida Kanasu"".

We have a highly derivative (and that's being kind) version of ""A Quiet Place"", but where you must see no evil rather than speak no evil. Obviously unfit for theatrical release, this is a straight to DVD (err, Netflix) production that will appeal to a niche audience but drain 2 hours of life from everyone else. It gets 3 stars due to its interesting premise, but the movie never gets out of second gear. The characters are also boring and stale. So no plot development and no character development.

Otherwise, skip this and do something fun instead for a few hours.",3 "I started this movie, and felt it was somewhat like Devdas, but... all I can say is... WOW! The songs blew me away - such BEAUTIFUL lyrics, classic tunes, no harsh beats... and it wasn't like the other recent movies that are all about sex, lust, illicit relationships... this is up there w/ classics like Yeh Vaada Raha! LOVE it! The actors were VERY well chosen - their chemistry was incredible, and made the story come alive. The way the movie was shot was also incredible... the sequence of the scenes, showing what was important... I really can't praise this movie enough! I already got the songs from the soundtrack :) You NEED to watch this movie if you want to watch a real love story!",10 "The TV series Hannibal is a great work of art in every sense of the word. Stunning cinematography, excellent acting, and an intriguing storyline. The show is characterized by its beautiful and detail-oriented visuals, which give it a terrifying and highly engaging atmosphere. However, the series suffers from some problems that make it boring at times, as the episodes can be slow-paced and repetitive, causing viewers to lose interest in the events and characters. Overall, it can be said that Hannibal is a good TV series from an artistic standpoint, but it suffers from some problems that make it boring at times. Personally, I find the show intriguing and worth watching, but it is not one of the best TV series I have ever seen.",7 "Oscar Isaac was amazing in this role. The last few episodes had me guessing like crazy. Episode 5 was my personal favorite because of the craziness going on. The last episode was kinda rushed but overall it was a satisfying end. I don't understand the hate towards this show. The regular Marvel formula isn't there, and isn't that what people have been wanting? It maybe doesn't deliver too much in the action department, but it's kind of nice to not have your run of the mill superhero action show. You feel me? I want to see more like this from Marvel!",7 "The plot assumes that gravity does not apply in deep space, which is fair, unless you find yourself in the proximity of a planet. However, the movie scene is very close to Earth surface, Hubble Telescope being low-orbit. Given that Earth radius is around 6000km, at 600km altitude you should feel around 90% of the gravity on Earth. The movie completely oversees that. Actually, the only way to be gravity free at this altitude is to be inside or hooked onto a Geo-stationary orbiting unit (like a satellite). Withstanding that, you are subject to Earth gravity. Floating around chaotically is not an option, you will be sucked by Earth's gravity field. On the other hand, if you are on a stationary orbit, you will revolve on a fixed position relatively to Earth, so you cannot see Earth spinning like this movie magnificently shows. I find it difficult to make terms with laws of physics being completely skewed. I guess that attention to detail could have been a bit better.",5 "This is one of those shows that from the description you just aren't sure if it will be for you. It's worth it. This show creates different levels of attachments to the characters in the short period of time you have with them. Production value means nothing if the story doesn't grab you and pull you in, but do not underestimate the power of having these two elements in an excellent mini-series. The creativity that went into each unique story is enthralling! It's absolutely worth taking the journey that is ""Black Mirror"". Characters - 9/10 Creativity - 10/10 Cinematography - 8/10 Editing - 8/10",9 "I only bothered because it had Jennifer Lawrence in it. I have the hots for her, though she's much too young for me. It has it all. Drama, sex, violence, a plot. It's almost John Le Carre like in places. I enjoyed it, though I didn't really care what was going to happen in the end.",6 "The show's production design takes many cues from the game, but the result is environments that can feel too manicured-the overgrowth on abandoned cars a bit too carefully placed, the moss in a patch of sunlight streaming through a collapsed roof too neatly lit, and the moments that pause on such sights a bit contrived in their attempt to aestheticize decay. The same details that can be so immersive in the game become mere window dressing for the apocalypse here, However, it became abundantly clear that my nerves were misplaced. Any viewer is in for a fantastic season of huge gut punches, terrifying set pieces, tender moments that will make you cry, and some fascinating changes to the core story that will challenge you - all the fundamentals that made the game so great. Not every part of it hits with the same emotional ferocity that the games do, but this is proof that video game adaptations work, provided you do them right and you're willing to take some calculated risks with the source material. And good performance so far.",8 "So, I decide to see the movie Thor, but with some hesitation. This is my own culture as a Scandinavian, so maybe I am not supposed to write a review, maybe I will just spoil it all. I will of course be critical. When I grew up I read the Edda, so I know the stories of Norse Mythology well. This is also my first question, when you read the real stories, as they were taken down by my distant ancestors, what is it that make the writers and directors change them when making the movie? Is it because they were not good enough? The movie Thor reads like a five year old who was told the real stories but decides to vulgarize them. Or maybe it was due to bad memory, maybe it was on purpose. The fact remains, they have taken a beautiful story and ripped it to pieces. It makes me sad because when people hear ""Thor"" they will recall all the wrong images. Sure, some ideas have been preserved, like some of the names and places, but just as many are made up and the whole conflict with the ""Jotuns"" have been turned into a simplistic black and white world. It makes you wonder, was this done because movie makers think that viewers cannot understand the real story, that it would be too complicated? And then the whole connection with the present, it turns the figure of Thor into a freak-show. And the sword associations to King Arthur with the sword stuck in the ground. Can't Hollywood tell a story without mixing it with Anglo Saxon familiarities? When Jackson made the Ring at least he tried to follow the original book. It's difficult to understand how Branagh could put his name to this lot. It's all very embarrassing, from story to acting.",2 "A good movie is not the same as a well made one. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a good example of a well-made production, but it is not enough. There is nothing to object to the production, the actors etc. What separates Once Upon a Time in Hollywood from a good movie is what you bring from the movie. Previous Tarantino films have in most cases shown the filmmaker's talent in just leaving a lasting imprint. How he has managed to create 2.5 hours of cinematic brilliance without any significant amount of content is puzzling. It may be a talent or the movie is a failure. I had to see it again. Maybe I had a mini stroke the first time I saw it because the emptiness after the movie might indicate that I may have had a mini stroke or something similar. So I spent about 5 hours and 20 minutes trying to find the greatness of the film. Nothing. The film is like a fireplace video. It feels sad to give such a well-played and well-made movie so few stars but if I'm honest, 3 out of 10 still feel generous in this case. Big names and hype will probably entice many viewers to waste several hours of their lives watching this movie. A small number of fans will be lyrical, but I think most will leave the movie theater with a void in their life history that will be difficult to explain even if quantum physics is used.",3 "I was surprised by this tv series. I watch several trailers before watching it & decided not to. But then I saw how many reviews it had on my ""pirate app"" & decided to watch it. I was blown away, I expected it to be a little crappy based on the trailer; however I caught myself binge watch almost the entire series yesterday evening. This show is original, exciting & romantic, I couldn't get enough. I hope this continues I havent watched alot of hot, intriguing, action packed Scifi/fantasy tv shows that I have loved in years.",10 "The fault in not in the stars, but in the minds of this films creators. I am not a fan of Josh Boone. Despite being pictured on IMDb with a Bob Dylan T-shirt, his films are usually the equivalent of teeny bopper pop songs, all sparkle and no soul. He also uses the same formula for every single film. It's his little bag of (cheap) tricks which is as follows - 1.Make sure your love story has a bit of death in it so that love becomes more important. 2. Keep everything very superficial in terms of thoughts and feelings and instead just use clichés to achieve empathy. 3.Throw in as much of your own musical taste as possible because everyone should have to listen to your ipod when they watch your film. 4. Set you pretentious melodrama in white middle class America, making sure everyone is rich and good looking, cos no-one wants to watch ugly poor people crying, that's just awkward. And hey presto, you've got a Josh Boone film. But I wanted so much to have something good to say about a movie that sets out to empathise with people who are terminally ill, but instead I found myself actually angered by this films approach to such a serious issue. Despite being diagnosed with cancer, both of the main characters seem totally fine, very happy and to be honest in complete denial. I'm not saying this kind of movie should be a total downer, but nor should it be a disneyfied dose of shallow distraction. If that is the case however then we are left with a question of some moral implication, namely, does this movie make light of the kind of suffering and depression involved in diseases like cancer, or is it simply trying to provide some light distraction? My view, was the former. Even as a film for teenagers a blanket whitewash of teeny charm, axiomatic platitudes and pseudo-morality is hardly a responsible framework of material for a film that supposedly aims to help, lacking as it does in any sense of emotional maturity or intellectual depth. I am glad however that they donated a large portion of money to cancer charities. For that, this film is forgiven. But honestly, show a Boone movie to a struggling poverty-stricken member of any society, who actually has real problems, and you'll have a riot on your hands. If you want a serving of insincere and self indulgent sympathy then this film does the trick.",2 If you re looking for a good story and have a few hours to spare it is definitely a show to get into but if you have something else to watch first don't hesitate to watch that first,5 "This is one of the most difficult movies you will ever watch. It took a couple of sittings for me to get through it. Acting aside, it genuinely has no purpose except to try to make you go a tad insane. So in that way...yeah, mission accomplished. Whew.",5 "After a great 1st movie, whatever possessed them to make this?",1 "Well, i will talk about my experience , i enjoyed alot of the series, especially the three main characters althoughThe lack of correlation of events between them, different timelines makes very difficult to understand the events especially those who the English is their second language,generally speak ,a very good mysterious first season, can't wait for season 2",7 "When the film was released, I was looking forward to it. The setting of the multiverse and the return of some old characters make this film a very important part of Marvel movies. But after I watched the film, I found that it was just another mediocre trailer for the future film. The concept of multiverse is an advantage for a Dr. Strange movie. But I didn't expect it to be very bad and stupid. The main purpose of this film is to show the multiverse. It abandoned the follow-up to the story of Doctor Strange and the exploration of the wizarding world. There is almost no characterization. I don't see how Strange's experience has anything to do with letting go of his obsession with Christine Palmer, which shows that the character has changed too abruptly. His inner line was separated from the story line. The connection between the plots was very stiff and lacked the emotion to touch people. It completely turned the Doctor Strange story into a tool to expand MCU's worldview. As a sequel, the main purpose of the film should be to continue to dig deep into the core of the character, rather than showing too much of the multiverse. The film led to a new group of superheroes called Illuminati, and brought a lot of old and new characters into this story. This was supposed to be another surprise for audience. But their presence did not play any role, but only served as cannon fodder for being killed. It made me wonder if Marvel was trying to piss off fans. This kind of behavior is a disrespect to the actors, an insult to the characters, and a disdain to every fan. In WandaVision, Wanda learned one thing, that is, heroes don't torture people. But in the movie, she made the same mistake again, just like Peter Parker in No Way Home. Is Marvel so fond of ignoring the growth of characters? As for America Chaves, she's just a puppet who can open the multiverse portal and keep the story going. Another new hero without character portrayal, just like Kate Bishop, Miss Marvel, She-hulk, Yelena, Riri Williams and Adam Warlock.",4 I don't watch a movie just coz it looks like a single long take. Movies shouldn't be made around the cinematography it should be made around the story which wasn't strong.,1 "Knives Out was such a blast when it came out. I saw it twice in theaters. I've missed these kinds of whodunnit mystery movies, and Knives Out was exactly what I wanted. Glass Onion isn't as good as Knives Out, at least in my opinion, but it's still a great deal of fun. My main issue is the mystery itself, particularly because it's not too difficult to figure it out early enough on. That can make some of the explanation scenes feel unnecessary, like Rian Johnson's beating you over the head with a solution you already found. However, the other strengths of Knives Out are still here: the cast is great and having a lot of fun, the shot composition is very nice, and the pace is, for the most part, appropriate. It doesn't feel nearly as long as it is, which is a big plus. I was a little disappointed with the mystery, and I have a feeling others will be too, but there's still lots of fun to be had. (And I desperately want more of these. We don't get enough of these kinds of movies. Please support this movie!)",6 "A very disappointing in terms of a movie. The story line is weak and left to bare minimum, the motivations of the characters are not clear, and the characters themselves are reduced to clichés. The title does not live up to the expectations - I still cannot perceive why the main character was a great showman?? Colleting 'freaks' and showing them to the public does not make anyone a great showman. Also, the movie seems to be patched together with a series of short music videos, some of which are quite repetitive in terms of choreography and execution. On the positive side, the costumes are lavish, the topic is intriguing, there are some interesting findings in terms of movie shooting and editing. But overall, the movie is not worth watching as it is void of meaning.",3 "I'm sick of this mentality that just because Tarantino makes one film after such a long time everything that comes out of it is a work of art and if you don't like it you didn't understand it. Blind Tarantino fans need to evolve just like the industry has. After a point you get sick of having more than 20 minutes of a camera just focusing on feet throughout the movie. The plot was mediocre at best and unnecessarily prolonged on backstories which connected vaguely and randomly. The end was a typical Tarantino all out scene, with a few good references throughout the movie but overall it was quite a terrible experience. I hate how it was marketed entirely around Sharon Tate and Margot Robbie still got such little and insignificant camera time. Pretty disappointed.",4 "Season 1 is phenomenal. Great action, great story, great acting...couldn't stop watching. 10/10 Season 2 is a FLOP. What happened?!? The writers screwed up a hit show and turned it into a damn soap opera. The only reason to watch is for Jon Bernthal. 3/10.",7 "The Godfather, Part II is one of the most revered sequels of all time, if not the most. While I prefer the original for a few reasons, this sequel is not without more than its fair share of merits. However, it also has one or two flaws that, if I am going to be fair, I have to mention. Since they will take up the least amount of space in my comments, I'll get them out of the way first. The first flaw, in my opinion, is a jumping sense of focus. As the story goes from one part of America to Cuba to Sicily to another part of America, one can get a little giddy with the to and fro. The other problem is that when the screenplay doesn't follow Mario Puzo's original writings, it doesn't quite work. The big conspiracy with a Jewish smuggler and unnamed Italian rivals in the New York or Nevada underworlds doesn't quite seem to gel. Both stories, the historical story of Vito Corleone and the present-day story of Michael's decline, really needed three hours of their own. It is interesting to note that of all the deleted footage that went into the Godfather Legacy miniseries, the majority came from this film. The acting from all concerned is top-notch, especially from Al Pacino, who sells himself beautifully as the dangerous head of a mafia family in spite of needing to be on platforms to appear at the same height as many of his castmates. Robert Duvall gives a workman-like performance, but he has little to do here other than act out the part of the ever-loyal brother. I think the fact that he was almost irrelevant to the storyline here has a lot to do with Duvall's refusal to join the cast of the third film. The real surprise here is John Cazale, who fleshes out Fredo Corleone far beyond anything in either the first film or the novel. It is unsurprising that all of the films Cazale has been in have been nominated for Best Picture. He portrays the rejected brother who just wants what he feels is his fair share with an uncanny grace. But these are just the highlights. The entire cast give top-notch performances, even the extras who appear for less than ten seconds. The best thing about a Godfather film is how it builds a simple story of a family who, whether they wanted it or not, happen to be in the business of organised crime. The bloodshed of this film, much as was the case in the original, is secondary to the simple premise that these are ordinary people in an extraordinary position. Francis Ford Coppola has previously stated that he saw The Godfather as a (relatively) modern King Lear, and that style is kept up in the sequel. Michael is in essence the new King of the realm, but he learns the hard way that the more he tries to tighten his grip upon what is his, or what is loyal to him, the more it slips away. This is the film in which we learn why this is not what Vito Corleone wanted for his youngest son. Sadly, fate has a way of getting in the path of our best intentions, and nowhere is this more evident than in Diane Keaton's dialogue. Some of her speech to Al Pacino really sounds like it was either written at the last moment, or by someone who didn't have a whole lot of experience in writing films. Like the other Godfather films, the most satisfying moments are when the opponents of the Corleone family get their hash settled in a big way. The montage shown in Part II is not as graphic as that of the original, but it brings the whole thing to a satisfying climax. Lee Strasberg's speech to the press after his character being deported from Israel is priceless, as is the manner in which it ends. Unfortunately, the etiquette that dictates I cannot reveal what happens at the end of the film means I cannot tell you anything about the most satisfying death in the film. Being one of the most debated and criticised scenes among Godfather fans, I am fairly certain that anyone with an interest in the film is going to hear about it elsewhere anyway. In spite of the fact that it, and the necessary lead-up, takes up most of the second half of Michael's plot segment, it will leave many a viewer stunned. But that is one of the things that detracts slightly from this cinematic tour de force. With the screen time so sharply divided between two stories, sometimes the linking between plot points seems to fall by the wayside. I gave The Godfather, Part II a nine out of ten. In contrast to the original, I noticed the passage of time on a few occasions in its two hundred minutes. Still, if you're out to see a good drama, and you've already enjoyed the first Godfather, then this is worth a couple of viewings. If every director adaptating the writings of others into a film format took as much care as Francis Ford Coppola had here, then the world would be a better place.",9 Excellent casting and direction. Cast is new people but excellent work hats of to Nagraj sir and his team every one should see centenary in theater and appreciate the team work.,10 "Performances were fine, but it left me with no memorable songs or melodies. It left me empty. I was so excited for a musical to be on screen again, and perhaps begin a new era of entertainment. My expectations were not met in any way. The only thing I did enjoy was seeing some sights of Los Angeles. That brought warm memories of our vacation there. The movie was pleasant to look at, but not enjoyable to sit through. I have tried to watch it a second time to give it another chance, but it still falls short for my taste. Perhaps musicals will continue to be produced. That would be wonderful! I look forward to that.",2 "the show is good, the chemistry is good, the narration is okay, but they are so much so much that it feels like an audio book. not 2 secs go without the narration coming in. look, its day, looks its night for every little thing the narrator has to explain. i mean, jeez take a hike dude. the narrator should shut up for few sec and let us enjoy the dialogue and characters",2 "Yes, the show is gross, gore-filled and utterly shocking at times with how far it pushes the envelope...HOWEVER, if you can stomach the over the top blood, guts and sexual deviancy (Not much nudity, but deviant sexual situations), then you'll find exactly what mature, thinking consumers are looking for: Crafted, complex characters you can invest in. Calculated, humanistic villains with real motivations.",9 In dhaka people talk like kalkata accent? Sounds stupid...,4 "After watching the pilot, i now understand why HBO was worried and shelved this title for a while. So far few actors shine, most are unknown, and acting wasnt bad, but not great either. We will see what the show brings over the next few weeks, but hopefully, after the jump in time and new actor to play certains older character, maybe things will get better. But so far, im only interested in maybe 2-3 char overall while the original had many (10+) interesting char. There are a few easter eggs in there to the original show, but this need to have a life of it own; something it has not demonstrated so far. Really hope that following a under achieved pilot that thing got reviewed and changed for there remaining regular episode of this 1st season, cause if it continue in the same direction, i do not see a second season in our future. Personnally, i am not expecting a second GoT, but im expecting an interesting prequel that will explain the rise and fall of the Targearyon dynasty that lasted for many centuries. Many lines were put in GoT regarding this time, hope they can live up to it original material while we wait for Georges RR Martin to complete it litterary version which is long overdue.",6 "Kaithi is the best crime action movie, I have ever watched till now. Lokesh Kanagaraj's direction at the top a very very well direction, music ,bgm,Writing, story everything happened in just one night. Karthi's acting in this movie at the top of his career's best performance.he just nailed it in every second of the movie.",10 "If I could go back in time, I would not watch the Avengers End Game. If I could go back in time, I would stop 20 minutes before the ending of Infinity War as well. This is a good example of a mediocre script. The production values are excellent, but that is the expectation of any movie.",3 What everyone else said already in the comment section below. thanks for reading.,1 "Secret Superstar is an equally heartbreaking and touching film that you should see with your family. Aamir Khan yet again proves how perfect artist he is and no matter what he will always make a great film! This film is an inspiring adventure towards achievement, a beautiful bond between a mother and a daughter, and the harsh reality of having an abusive father who prevents your dream coming true. This film gives an important message to parents that no matter what the circumstances are, you should let your child follow their heart and let them achieve what they wish to achieve in life! I will give Secret Superstar a 8 out of 10 and I definitely recommend you go see this movie with your family. Excellent display of the effect of domestic violence on children of the family...Hats off to both the female actresses..Zaira and Meher..who do look like strongly bonded daughter and mother and proving the age old concepts ...that Truth can never be hidden and the power of a Woman when her tolerance level crosses the limits..the last airport scene is super and many memorable scenes.for eg.. ..the transformation of the music director through the song recording and how Insiya accepts the same forehead kiss of Shakti Kumar..",10 "Not overly funny but entertaining enough to keep me watching. No political bs or anything which is a bonus these days.",6 "Avatar was the massive hit of 2010 and became the highest grossing film of all time. It tells the story of a handicapped man who travels to Pandora with the military and soon develops sympathies with the Natives of the planet. Let's start with the positives. The effects are extremely impressive and still kind of holds up (not completely but mostly) the design of the planet and the creatures is great and is beautiful to look at. The design of the human machinery while a little generic still looks good and the action scenes are not quick-cut or shaky-cam which is always nice. However, that is where the positives end. While the effects are impressive you can kind of tell it's CGI so it's difficult to get immersed into the story. The characters are extremely bland, you got some nice guy as the main character, most of the other humans are evil just because. The main love interest is just a strong character that is cool and that's about it. Another native is an antagonist because he doesn't trust the human (Jake Sully) and so many other clichéd characters. The acting is kind of bland and nothing worthy of remembrance. The cinematography is all right but is nothing worthwhile or interesting. The film is so filled to the brim with clichés that it's ridiculous. While the final action scene is easy to follow and well filmed it's boring. There is no tension for the characters as the protagonist is perfect and the characters that die you really don't care about at all because they are not worth remembering and the scene feels clunky and slow. So in a nutshell, Avatar has great effects but everything else falls short.",4 "Swades, as the name of the movie suggests is based on patriotic lines, story of an Indian who seeks high for his career, leaves his home country but soon after, he starts feeling detached for his maid-mother who took care of him after his parents died. This movie does not waste time in things like how he started his career in foreign country and how all those things led him to such feelings. It starts with Shah Rukh Khan suddenly facing immense emotions for his maid-mother living in India. This movie brings us a picture of underdevelopment of some regions in India and how they are themselves responsible for this. The false superstitions and believes hampering the progress of these regions are depicted so beautifully in this movie. However this movie has no so called very dramatic climax and suspense but still the message delivered is so noble and inspiring. However this movie was not great at box-office collection but it is worth giving a watch.",9 "If I had not read the book, I would probably enjoy the series more. The development of the characters (and storyline for that matter) sails severely off course, with the exception of Holly Gibney and Ralph's wife, it's really hard to watch. If you haven't read the book, you'll probably love it. If you loved the book, you may want to pass on this or at least wait until you don't remember the basic plot of the novel.",5 "I have enjoyed laughing my pants off at movies for decades and this one always stays at the top when I think about which one is best. The story, the acting, the music, the cast, the one-liners, the archs...it's fantastic. Aside from laughing through the whole thing, there is some great heart to this movie. It shows you how to grow from adversity and shed the needless and often self inflicted pain and it gives you that while making you laugh the entire time. I give this movie 10 stars because after a million rewatches it has never lost its savor. If anyone is looking for a solid comedy, this is my recommendation.",10 "Loved the first 2 seasons of 13RW season 3 is such a disappointment. It is now unwatchable. I have to agree with other reviewers. Why introduce the nosy, know-it-all character that is suddenly Clay's constant companion, everyone's confidant, always present. If I read that, hopefully, her character gets bumped off I'll tune in again. BTW this is my first IMDB review. That's how annoyed I am.",1 It was the first movie that I quit listening to the dialogues between the actors. People that were not properly introduced in the movie seemed to have a pretty important role in this plot hole movie. The only thing that I enjoyed is the performance of Eddie Redmayne. Other than that a completely passive and at some points boring movie. In the positives is the very good first 20 minutes of the film.,5 "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is for the fans. I've only ever watched the movie, but have been given a lot of expectation of what this show will cover via the internet and my comic book-loving friends. I didn't watch Wandavision, for a variety of reasons, but I was excited to watch this movie because of the ""America"" aspect, and the fact that I like Sebastian Stan. My regards to the Falcon, I'm not really sure what he's for. At one point, he's talking about race with his family, at another point, it's related to his integrity about not taking the shield, and then all of a sudden he's popping really forced jokes. I wish the show was more cohesive, but then again it's only 2 episodes in. The cameos may be a little bit forced, but for a starved MCU fan, this is great overall! (Kind of on the level of Age of Ultron) My only main criticism is that it's confusing about what the movie is mainly trying to convey, as there are some convoluted conversations about society, and a lot of seemingly unrelated side plots. I hope it gets better! I will probably watch it anyways. I just like to like things even if they're not perfect.",7 "Probably Quentin Tarantino's most known and popular film, Pulp Fiction weaves together several stories and characters in a non linear order, in fact no order at all, and mixes bloody violence, pitch black dark humor, witty and genius dialogue, and amazing characters into one of the most influential movies of all time. a brilliant movie that really isn't for all people, but should be seen by movie buffs around. The star studded cast was overwhelming at first, and the dialogue was amazing. But personally, the star of the show was Uma. I could watch the diner scene over and over again because of how well she plays her role.",6 "Usually when I want to watch a movie I always look for the rating first. I rarely write reviews. But after watching this series, it is very normal and does not deserve a high rating. Even filming the movie sometimes appears as if it was taken from a phone camera. The filming doesn't have stabilizer like cheap budget series. I don't want to talk much. But after watching, you will know what I say.",3 "All the hype aside, this is one of my favorite original sci-fi series' until now. The first 2 seasons were the best written and the duffer brothers are SUCH good storytellers, honestly. It kind of downgraded in season 3, and i'm saying this as a huge fan, but I really didn't enjoy season 3 as much as the first 2 seasons. I of course still love the show and the cast but I feel like waiting so long for season 3 was a BIT disappointing for me. BUT - who cares about my opinion anyways? everyone has seen this lmao i just wanted to write a review for fun.",9 "As someone who never played the game, i quite enjoys the series. Im not distracted by the miss casting or what. The special effect is great, the atmosphere is amazing. Henry cavil acting is unquestionably great. The chemistry between Gerard, Yen, and Ciri is there. I love seing them being a family. I hope there will be more interaction. But, the series a bit confusing. I ocasionally need to ask my friend ,who played the game, about the plot. But overall a great series!",9 "It's worth watching and probably only reason that people even watch prime video. Homelander is amazing villian and Billy butchers British accent swearing is really one the best thing in the series And frenchie is probably my best character And hughie is more like a side pack Im currently watching 2 season where butcher gets and other hide from homelander and homelanders gets to know about his son. Character of deep is really troubled till now. From the seven to being disturbed And maeve is also one of the best character because she till now doesn't do anything. To sum up it's really good and if you have subscription of Amazon prime then watch it because its really good.",9 Can't understand the hype. This movie is so bad on so many levels it is beyond words. Even the CGI is bad. Thanos looks like he came straight from a video game. The story is as banal as it can be. The plot nonexistent. I don't know maybe Im just too old for this s$#%..,3 Sort of enjoyed the first half. Never made it to the ending since I think it may still be going in some alternative universe. Seriously I think this ran a good half an hour past what I assumed was an ending. As others mention it just becomes sensory overload. Interesting sci-fi plot with engaging actors but beyond that this is a pretty dull movie with little to nothing to recommend it. Endless and I mean endless CGI fight scenes - felt like I was watching another super-hero POS. How stuff like the wins an award is beyond me. Best movie of the year? Guess that doesn't say much for what else was out there!,2 Action and cinematography is excellent. Direction is good too it keeps you engaged right from the first 10 mins. Plot could have been stronger and better.,6 "Saw this at the festival circuit and was left completely unimpressed. An all star cast like this is usually a red flag for me that the story is going to be weak and I wasn't surprised. The Dialogue and characters are all super pretentious, and don't speak like real people so it's hard to care at all what happens. The twists feel cheap and unearned and sometimes it feels like things that are setup are never paid off in satisfying ways. Overall, AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS! Major Pass!",3 "The Godfather Part 1 was amazing so I had high hopes coming into this, but it kinda disappointed me. The main problem for me was that it was so boring at times and there was hardly any dialogue. I loved Robert De Niro in this and his role as young Vito Corleone. The acting in this was very good just like the first and the ending was just like the first too. Michael Corleone finished the family business.",9 "After season 1 it only gets worse each episode. It began strong but then got overcomplicated for no reason. The plot was getting weak with a lot of holes and the story had very slow development. I just couldn't wait for some episodes to end, and the whole series too as i was closing to the end. It was supposed to be different at least i hoped it to be. No excitement at all watching it. Hated the Will Graham character actor, the roll doesn't suits him or he is just not talented enough. On the other sude Mads was a perfect fit for Dr. Lecter. Definitely not gonna rewatch it.",6 "Don Michael Corleone. The film begins and ends with the camera playing a close-up of it. This is no accident. Two Michaels are shown. Two glances. In one we see a man who has just received tremendous power, who wants to use it as soon as possible and as much as possible. In the second - a person who regrets. Between them there is a peak, a line, a reference point that turns one person into another. I can't tell what the point is, because that way you lose most of the interest before viewing the picture... The Godfather Part II is the best movie in the trilogy. The most exciting, the most interesting in terms of events, the most shocking, finally. There are two eras, two characters in the story. This is Michael Corleone and young Vito Corleone (Andolini). And that's all I wanted to say about the plot, because you have to see it with your own eyes. The Godfather 2 is an untouchable picture, it's a classic. Draw your own conclusions.",9 """Fargo"" is the quintessential Coen Brothers film, but also their most overrated. It's a quirky dark comedy that essentially sees a cinematic crime story performed by ordinary Midwesterners. We are so used to the dramatic conventions that films follow to the point that realistic characters end up looking goofy and awkward. As usual with the Coen Brothers, plans are made to go wrong, the characters who act cinematic have no credibility whatsoever, and those who are down-to-earth end up looking the most cinematic. It's a film full of memorable, meticulously constructed scenes and unique characters, yet I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. In particular, the humor relied a bit too much on the accent and didn't always click with me. There are also a few dull moments like the Yanagita scenes that brought the pacing of the story down and were not even that funny.",7 "I was not interested in seeing this movie. I love the original and knew there was no chance of improvement...But my oldest daughter and my bestie wanted to see it, so for $5 special Tuesday we went. I was right when I told them I wouldn't like it and unfortunately they didn't either.",2 "It has to be 8.4-8.7... Great acting by pankaj sir,rajkumar,aditya,abhisek snd most of the cast....",9 """Johnny Goddaar"" is a very good crime film. It's about a gang leader who betrays his friends...yet none of the other leaders know who the betrayer is...and end up killing each other or being killed as a result. The film concerns a small group of hoods who all report to the local boss. When the boss arranges for a huge shipment of money to be picked up and transported back to him, Vikram decides it's a chance to once and for all make a big score--a score that will enable him to disappear with a fellow gangster's wife, Minni. But Minni's husband, Shardul, is a tough guy and so are the rest of the gangsters...and Vikram sure doesn't seem tough enough to carry it off. His only chance is if he's incredibly lucky...and he is throughout most of the film...incredibly lucky! But, like many crime films, his luck can only hold up so long. So what did I like about this film? Mostly it was the very clever story--especially the way everything worked out perfectly by the end of the film. One of the better Bollywood gangster films I've seen and well worth your time.",8 "I really liked the first one and was hoping they wouldn't mess up this sequel. I was pretty happy during the first 2/3 of the movie, as the plot and various storylines were interesting and well managed, in a way that didn't feel like re-heating the formula from the first movie. Unfortunately, they tried so hard to keep the originality going that they went completely overboard with the denouement, and the whole thing feels quite silly when it's all over. Which seems to be pretty much the general opinion about this movie. So all in all it's fairly entertaining and I would say go for it if you have ran out of things to watch.",6 "(76%) There are multiple reasons why this should be a prime target for most cinema fans, but the main reason of all is the ever impressive Oscar Isaac. He's fantastic here in the lead role toiling against what feels like everything to legitimately succeed as a fuel dealer during a crime plagued era in New York history. While backing him up brilliantly is Jessica Chastain as his glamorous, tough, yet fully supportive wife. The direction from the outset is silky smooth, while still very calculated. But there are clear issues surrounding the film's momentum as this flat- out refuses to break away from its total sense of realism, meaning this is a easy film to respect, but fun to watch it ain't. Although in terms of a quality crime drama with real refinement in-front and behind the camera then look no further.",8 "There is a big plot hole, missing links, and bad acting. They supposed to act like lost in an unknown planet but somehow director couldn't make it happen. They more like roaming in garden or like in park next the neighborhood. Waste of time.",2 "For the first half hour I thought it was a parody of Hollywood movies, especially Michael Bay's movies. I mean, a car explodes in the opening sequence after hitting a chair! And then I thought it was a bit to serious to be a parody. I checked the director. It was Michael Bay. This movie is just a pile of clichés, with a lot of explosions and by the number action sequences. If you're into that kind of movie, this one is for you. If not, unplug your brain and maybe you'll spend a nice evening anyways.",5 "Of course, there is should be a lesbian. Is there any show these days without any LGBT propaganda? The first 3 episodes are a little bit boring, but from the 4th it became much more interesting. I would say this story is more about Mare and her inner pain. The detective part is not that good and that makes this show a little bit boring, I would say 6 out of 10 for the detective part of the story. Kate Winslet is the only reason this show deserves 8 out of 10, she was gorgeous.",8 I did fins thia movie highly unrealistic. There is no chance this could happen i the real life!,2 "It's definitely watchable however after the first episode which deserves a 10 the rest do not. It's not the acting that's fine for the most part except Keith Urbans awful cockney accent it's trash he should of just used his own Aussie acvent I have no idea why they told him to do it, if the part required a brit why not just use a British actor instead there's plenty out there that are as good if not better than him. Most episodes are fillers, not much happens and the supes are pretty naff to be honest. But each to their own. I'm not saying it's bad it's just not that good.",7 "Love how great this series is on Netflix! They NAILED GERALT, Pavetta, Ciri, calathe, Jaskier, as the main characters. Some of the characters, not so much! NOTHING LIKE THE GAME! They did a horrible job casting Fringilla, Triss, and Istredd? COME ON?! The storyline is amazing, I like how it goes back and forth into different time lines. CANNOT WAIT FOR next season!",8 "The directing is ameteurish compared to the other nominated directors. The story is interesting but not excessively. The characters are all paper thin and one dimensional. Their motivations and actions are not justified. E.g. the main murder is almost comically undeserved, serving only the useless final plot twist. Americans must not have seen any Korean movies before because this tone is very common. There was nothing exceptional about this film but it probably surprised American audiences with many aspects unfamiliar to them. That is the only reason I can imagine this won the academy award. And best director? Really? No. Definitely not. Any director that can't justify major main character actions with his or her storytelling still needs some work,not an academy award.",5 "If you want to see another biased movie about evil Russians/Soviets versus the good ol' Americans, you can see it. This is 2019 and Hollywood still want us to believe that the world is black and white... So we have a Russian that will not hesitate to sacrifice his own kin and on the other side the American offering the freedom without any counterpart. What a joke! The two stars go for the very good actor playing.",2 """This movie was an totally awesome movie"". Thats what my 7 year old niece told me. Need I say more? I tried to sit down and watch this movie and good lord it was not easy. At least scarlet johanson was in this, too bad her wardrobe did not keep me interested enough, maybe a little ass shots or something would have kept me watching but nope. All this was, was a big movie corporation making more money off kids with nothing but crap. In fact part one wasn't that bad compared to this one. Although to tell you the truth I didn't even finish watching this movie. So if it has a killer ending with a twist you would not believe then Im sorry. But Im sure the ending is just as horrible as the first hour that I sat through. I give this crapfest 2 shwag blunts down.",5 "YouTube did a good move with their Wayne, they basically stole the idea and added good marketing, that this show didn't get.",7 "Yet another apocalyptic extravaganza with a pandemic of zombies, rage infected monsters, or whatever they are rampaging across a hopeless wasteland in search of tasty survivors of whatever the heck happened. At least there's an attempt at an explanation in this one. However, the variation on the zombie theme is tiresome and burned out because no one has come up with an original idea in so very, very long. In this version, there is some creativity and intelligence. The cast is quite good, the special effects are superior but it's predictable stuff and as far as story it's nothing we haven't seen, heard, or been bored by before. So sad there's nothing but the same old, same old.",1 "Why did they have to use Auto-Tune in a musical? I love imperfection, and many of the songs sounded clearly robotic. It's irritating. Also the music is out of the epoque the movie is set on, but I can handle this.",6 "Bill Murray being nominated for Best Actor? Huh???? Bill Murray just played Bill Murray. Except he had less lines than in any movie he has been in. I saw this movie one day before the Academy's just to prep myself. Did you watch the clips of each actor as they showed best actor clips? BILL MURRAY WAS BEING BILL MURRAY! No show of emotion. Just dry deadpanned line delivery. And don't get me wrong I like Bill Murray. But he did not deserve to be nominated and neither did this picture. Also this picture won like best comedy at the Golden Globes and it wasn't even a comedy. It was very very slow. Actually I think Scarlett was better than Bill. Really all I have to say is that this movie definitely shows that their are politics in the Academy. My mind it flabbergasted why Bill and this picture got nominated. Are they trying to push Sofia Coppola as the next big director? Or is it something else. Who has naked picture of who???? Also 8.0???? WHAT?!?!?",3 "The show gives a great new perspective on how time works in the MARVEL Cinematic Universe and is very confusing on a Rick & Morty scale, but still has time for the beloved MCU action!",9 "I had high expectations because the director was Kenneth Branagh, but what a let down. The script and dialog were pitiful, with little credible character development (apparently because the script was written by a ""committee""). With such a fantasy/mythology-based superhero, the movie should have been a lot more fun and memorable. Talented actors like Natalie Portman were totally, pitifully wasted. The initial 5 to 10 minutes, with flashbacks, were confusing: for example, not enough ground work was laid for the viewers to know why and how Jane Forster's team were able to be at that particular spot and time to expect the appearance of a ""worm hole"". The only good things about this movie is that it laid the foundation for inclusion of Thor in future Avengers movies, and that Chris Hemsworth is an engaging hunk.",2 "In black and white with terrible jokes and a laughing track?!?! What is this garbage?! Anyone who thinks this is good is clearly inferior cause this is god awful, do not watch this.",1 Each episode is a layer.Layer by layer is removed in each episode.Nothing seems nonsense.All the characters have been well connected.,9 Fell in love with madness of wanda. Loved every second of the show.,9 "Feels like one of them. Too good! Thank you..........................................................,.........",10 "I understand that there are some individuals that watch movies and pick them apart based on reality. Do we really need to care so much about reality when we are looking to be entertained? Yes, there are some unrealistic situations in this movie, but that is the premise of these type movies anyway. I mean ""Andi"" running through a massive amount of broken glass in flat sandals caused an eye roll, but otherwise, I kept the eye rolling to a minimum. I do not believe it is as good as the first one, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The actors are fun and the mystery had a twist. It reminded me more of an Agatha Christie story than the first movie. It has that 1 1/2 hours of setup, and then move everyone into one room for the big reveal for the last hour of the movie. It was a little more predictable than I would have liked. But a plus was seeing Edward Norton on screen again. In conclusion, it's not the best movie I've seen lately but still fun to watch. Yes, there are political issues and undertones. Yes, there are some parts where you'll shake your head. But it's an all around fun movie with great actors. Just put your soapbox aside and enjoy.",7 "8th March is International Women's Day and Queen celebrates it with panache. When Rani played amazingly brilliant by Kangana Ranaut discovers herself on her solo honeymoon trip in Paris and Amsterdam, she comes back to India with a winning smile on her face. The same smile is pasted on your face throughout the movie. There is hardly any feminine emotion left that is not being touched upon in this witty, gritty, funny, emotional and very subtle cinematic portrayal of finding that a woman is more than being a mother, a sister or a wife. The movie talks in the language of love and affection which is not bound by the country in which you were born. All foreign characters here, be it Indian French single mother, the child-like Japanese guy, the European artist, the French restaurant owner or the black guy here play true to their cultures and don't seem fake at all. After Kangana, movie belongs to writer-director Vikas Bahl who shall be remembered now forever for penning this neat story and screenplay flooded with so many fresh and out of box ideas. So don't wait, go and experience the fun (read hungama) with your friends. It is one of the finest cinematic work of Bollywood. Period.",9 Just the best thing ever made and nobody can disagree.,10 "I think of Fargo as the underdog of cinema; the unassuming, easy-to-miss crime thriller when released that went on to be recognized for its intricate and investing plot, powerhouse displays of acting, and keen regional nuances. The film has now gone on to – dare I say – be something of a classic for the mystery genre, producing several quotable lines, memorable setups, and even a TV show, set to debut later this year. Reviewing a classic is always touchy territory for two specific reasons. The first is that many people have already seen, reviewed, analyzed, and formulated an opinion on the film in question and writing a positive review seems like reiterating all the same points people have done for years and preaching to a disinterested choir. The second is that it's a struggle to find something to talk about in said film that hasn't already been talked about many times before, resulting in a review or an analysis that seems to become groggy and repetitive. With Fargo, however, I'm feeling pretty comfortable in where I stand and what I have to say about it. Explaining the film's story in writing or aloud may find a way to muddle itself, but I'll push through to give the basics. The story involves a crooked car salesman named Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy), who works at a Minneapolis dealership. Pressed for money and fighting desperate times, he negotiates with criminals Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) and Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stormare), whom he meets on a trip to Fargo, North Dakota, to kidnap his wife Jean (Kristin Rudrüd) in exchange for a 1987 Oldsmobile Ciera and $40,000 of the $80,000 ransom. Jerry, in a slick move, plans to inform his wealthy father-in-law and boss Wade Gustafson (Harve Presenell) that the ransom the crooks are asking for is $1,000,000 with the intent of pocketing most of the money. This plan soon turns disastrous by circumstances that should not be spoiled. However, when things go awry and people end up dead, Officer Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand), a quirky, Minneapolis cop with a thick accent, gets on the case and is determined to imprison the dirtbags behind these murders. What we get, though, is an exercise in terrific filmmaking in several areas, from acting, pacing, and depictions and the satirizing of a region that do not tread on mean-spirited, simple-minded jabs for humor. At the core of Fargo is a performance by William H. Macy that needs to be seen to be believed; it's a true performance that spawns mixed reactions, as he sometimes portrays a character we can side with, and other times, portrays one we can't help but loathe. Macy's scenes with Buscemi and Stormare are wonderful too, as all the actors bring something to the table: Macy brings his controlled nature that can often be seen as troublesome, Buscemi brings his outrageousness, and Stormare brings his collective mannerisms. The Coen brothers, Joel (the film's director) and Ethan (the film's co-writer and sole credited producer), could've stopped there and had a great film, but they continue on, with a windy, but completely investing storyline predicated off of plot and wild twists and turns. Normally, I criticize films that make too heavy of an emphasize on story and not enough on character. Instead, the Coen brothers make each individual character distinct in someway, be it their mannerisms, what they say, or even how they say it. This is where the attention to detail for the region comes in. Frequently, the Coens make dual note of the typical niceness Midwesterners tend to possess, as well as the moralistic goodness they provide through their often thick and monotone accents. The Coens turn Fargo into a hilariously observant work, complete with great pacing, Roger Deakins' impeccable cinematography that never fails to capture locational beauty, making the Midwestern snow shockingly appealing and lovely, and just the benefits of a great story. It's the kind of film that would make a great introduction for people in other countries who have never seen an American film, rather than the abundance of blockbusters and low-rent sequels, don't you think? Starring: William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi, Peter Stormare, Frances McDormand, Harve Presnell, and Kristin Rudrüd. Directed by: Joel Coen.",9 Very well directed again Anurag Basu has created magic best film of 2019.,10 "The whole action scenes are inspired by our South Indian movie stars! He cuts his finger, no blood is spurting out. He has got no pain!😂😂😂 He drops from top of the hotel, still no bones are broken. He completely conscious. 😅😅😅. Someone pierce ladies both hands, she is so cool that even our South Indian hero will be proud of her. 😎😎😎",2 I really don't understand why this show has a 8.4 rating and gets compared to game of thrones? Are you guys serious? I mean have you seen those wigs and the plastic swords? Really bad cgi and costumes too (I had to turn it off as soon as I saw that goat/ human thing... just plain horrible!). Then there is the bad acting.... Jon Snow would be ashamed!,3 "I haven't read any books or played the game, but all I will say is the Witcher is awesome. The shows is totally carried by Henry cavill. He is prefect for the role of Witcher. The fights in the show are soo cool, and the yennefer characters is good to watch. The show revolves around the concept of destiny. And How the main character fulfill theirs. It's for all those who like watching fantasy shows, it's got enough thrill and suspence to make you Binge watch it.",9 Who can actually sit and watch the garbage. If you're over 12 don't watch,3 "People rating this a 10 are either bots, paid, or fan boys desperately wanting this show to be something it isn't. A 10 would mean perfect writing. Perfect acting. Perfect cinematography. Perfect everything. This flawed, boring snooze-fest is anything but perfect. It's flat out boring. I feel as though I'm watching a soap opera set in the Middle Ages. Give us some action. Give us interesting characters. Give us a damn story that's worthy of following. 3 episodes in and it's a 6 at best. I'll give it a couple of more episodes before completely giving up on it. Not sure why they chose this particular story line from GoT to revolve an entire series around. Should've chosen something more interesting like the White Walkers and their origin story with the Children.",5 "Much more touchy and great movies are around in other languages. Unnecessarily dragged out and boring movie really. There is very little creativity or originality in the film. Only daring grace is the acting of the mute woman. If not for that, the movie would have been a complete loss. Much more touchy and great movies are around in other languages. Unnecessarily dragged out and boring movie really. There is very little creativity or originality in the film. Only daring grace is the acting of the mute woman. If not for that, the movie would have been a complete loss. To call this a scifi movie is remotely accurate. Should have been more like a weird love story.",2 "This is definitely not Tarantino's best. Great cinematography, acting, dialogue, etc but there isn't a plot which means it's kind of boring. But what else are you going to go to theatre for? Ironman 8? Bad Tarantino is still worth watching.",6 "Had hopes in the beginning, the premise seemed interesting and a mystery unfolds progressively revealing more and more. The problem is, when you learn what's going on, you see the writers have pushed the story down a big hill and it's all over the place, an unrestrained implausible plot is what you're left with. Characters stare out window not saying anything, with loopy electro background music ramped up beyond reason. Long abstract time-wasting shots seemingly for mood, or just because. The side-kick woman who is part of the company, she is permanently stuck in ""smug all-knowing mode"". She seems to know everything that will happen, because fate or whatever. The teenage whiz-kid techie completed the cliche geek-casting. His performance is forced. His fate is also one of many ridiculous elements of the story that may leave you angry... as in ""nobody would be that stupid"". You may feel cheated and want your time back. Free will emerges in the form of a gun that may or may not be used.... very lazy writing to fall back on guns. In a series about other-worldly impossible future technology, they still relied on generic ideas involving a gun prop, and actors pointing it at other actors. I liked it to begin with, but it went off the rails and was unremarkable by the end. The writers mainly the problem... the story just didn't get resolved, and lacks substance by the end.",3 "This film is rotten. Seriously. I decided to go and see it thanks to the good reviews. Well, I'm not sure who is leaving these reviews, but this is a terrible film and is one of the worst big budget films I have seen in a long time. The acting is average really, I suppose that Robbie and Gosling tried their hardest but clearly the script failed them as it all makes zero sense. It feels like a string of clips put together rather than a real film, it's all disconnected and disjointed. The film is colourful but sometimes films can be too colourful, and this is a great example of that. It's like they added this colour in to distract you from the poor nature of the film. It is not entertaining at all, and 98% of the jokes do not land. I did not laugh once, just chuckled quietly twice. The fact that this film seems to be so long doesn't help things at all. Save your cash.",1 Actully is a good movie bu common its very very long story and i cant see this after 1h.,4 "Sure, Bangladesh is not depicted properly. It's just an imaginary dhaka shown in the film. A movie bringing together India and Bangladesh in a context, could have been pretty good. There could have been some efforts showing some degree of corruption or systemic error that leads to the actions. But this film is just full of ****. The actions are awesome. If the film realised that the host country has much more to offer then depicted, could have made the film worth watching. Rather, the entire film is shot at , what, 500 metres of set. Everything is repetitive. And there can be no country where the military is run by Mafia. That is absurdity to the highest. Sure there can be some corruption at some level, but that should not attribute all. Remember, winter soldier? Corruption was there. But there was a conflict with the good within Hydra. In this film, there was no corruption. Nothing. Just people swinging AK47. Guns are illegal in the country. How come so many AK 47 there on the street, why would kids be carrying guns? What was the director thinking? Think about it. If you a bunch of mercenaries start shooting missiles and gunning down police without any showing any intention to discuss anything, that depicts terrorism isn't it? Then who is the bad guy here? The police or Chris? What is the logic? Watching the full movie, I did not get any sense of any hatred between the two rival gangs. It's just pointless shooting.",1 "It's rare, almost impossible, but it can happen, and when it does, it puts a smile on our face. Yes, the ""Godfather, part II"" is better than the first one. ANd since the first part of the trilogy is probably the best American movie ever made, this one is nominated as one of the best movies ever made. Am I exaggerating? Check out my arguments please, and then make up your mind. It's a long and slowly evoking film. I must say that I almost understand the people who say they're bored from it. But to the people who know a thing or two about cinematography, it's an absolute masterpiece. The plot is great. While we see Pacino's life sinking into a nightmare of uncertainty and solitude -by the end of the movie, he's lost his wife, his mother and his brothers, we are brought in parallel to an early-20th century New York, where young and poor immigrant, Vito Corleone -Pacino's father- makes his first steps into the world of blood and domination. The two figures don't appear ever at the same time on the screen. In that way we can compare the major difference between them: Vito is poor but going up. Michael is rich and powerful, but he's losing each one of the people he loves. Thus, whereas the first movie deals with power, this one's dealing with relationships and feelings. The acting is outstanding. DeNiro symbolizes the Corleone character, by avoiding showing too much on his face -Brando did the opposite in the first part. Pacino is also splendid. He isn't a young and ambitious man anymore. In this movie he is a man who has lost control. The cinematography is also magnificent. Starting from where the fist movie ended, Coppola avoids too much general plans and gives weight to the gros plans. The photography is very nice and the music, once more, over the top. It's OK if you don't like it. It's very long -more than three hours, slow and difficult. But I won't change my mind: It's really one of the very-very best ever made. Humangousely recommended. Cheers.",10 "2 years waiting for this?? and they give us just these tiny short cheap episodes??? looks like the budget for this show would be $100 bucks, maybe less, and the episodes have a ton of filling, just like most series have when their episodes last like 50 min or 1 hr, but this is RIDICULOUS, the intro, opening and ending credits of each ep are longer than THE ACTUAL EPISODES!! I mean, really?¡ this has to be a joke, I didn't pay Disney subscription for the cheapest and shortest series in history, this is nonsense, they should have done a movie or a trilogy with a high budget and 3 hours long each one, this series format is senseless, maybe when the series is fully released we reach to 1 hour of real content, but not even with all the episodes together we would fill an average 2 hrs film, I feel scammed. On the other hand, the show idea is GREAT! if it had a high budget like marvel movies and a movie format I would prob rank it with 10!!! and the acting of both, Eli and Paul are oustanding as always, 1 star only for that! :)",1 "This film is slow and muted most of the way through in the vein of a 50's cold war thriller, so if you want something loud and action packed then this film is not for you. On the other hand, if you like 50's cold war thrillers then I think you will find this serviceable. I found the speed almost endurance breaking at points but it had spots of good dialogue and a few moments of uncomfortable emotion inducing violence that woke me up and kept me going until the end. And finally the end of the film. Most of the films I have watched, and mostly enjoyed, over the last few years have had terrible endings. This is not one of them. I thought the end was good enough to be worth the effort of watching the film by itself. I think one of the problems with the film is that they hide the climax too well in the rest of the film to the point where it can be a slight struggle to be invested in what is happening.",6 "The storyplot worked great with characters and the humor was spot-on however everytime there was any special effects I had to cringe. This looked poor even if the movie was from 2000's , the Sins were the worst though. DC really needs to work on their special effects, its my major complaint for the every one of there live action movies. It looks terrible and totally drags you from any immersion with the movie.",5 "I know there were a lot of hype and excitement about this film, but I think it's the weakest in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Though it does have some strong movie elements such as good special effects, high drama and a haunting music score, this film is too dark even for Batman. The plot drags, action and violence are overkill and some of the cast performances were weak. As a fan of the comics, I was hoping that this trilogy would follow the comic continuity more than the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher series. But, it wasn't meant to be. We have a story about Batman trying to rid the city of the remaining mobs, but ended up facing a new villain, the Joker. Later on in the story, crime-fighting Harvey Dent flips a nerve and turn into Two-Face. While pretty good acting, Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was too manic and sadistic. I didn't care for the make-up and costume as well. Aaron Eckhart's performance of Harvey Dent/Two-Face drove me off the wall - bland as Harvey Dent and much too angry as Two-Face. I know Director Nolan wanted to avoid camp at all cost after what we've went through with Schumacher's films, but the story is too serious and dark. I would highly recommend ""Batman Begins"" or ""The Dark Knight Rises"" over this. While also dark, those two films had much better character development, compelling plots and a better balance of humor. Grade D+",5 This is where it all started...THE NAVEEN KASTURIA and our jittu Bhaiya...Arnubh... everyone were present in this one which made it a classic... people who crave for quality content should watch this...and subscribe to TVF:-) I love this classic.,10 "Do not go by the 10 star reviews, majority of the Indians here have given the 10 star rating and have started comparing it to Narcos, GOT and breaking bad and even calling it a breakthrough in Indian cinema. I am an Indian too but it is disappointing to see some of the reviewers have given high ratings coz it is on Netflix and the considering the origin of cinema instead of the strictly reviewing the title. Agree that the show is bold because of no CBFC certification but just because there are abuses in every second dialogue does not mean its brilliant. The show is a decent watch, dragged a lot and I am guessing they have planned 3 seasons at least for the show. Overall 7/10",1 Lauren and her team of writers changed the story so much in season 2 that now this show is unwatchable for book readers . Henry Cavill proclaims that he is a fan of books then how did he agree to do this show? Didn't he read the script before signing his contract ?,1 "Dr. Stone is a post-apocalyptic anime that has so much detail put into everything. The show seems like it itself is a scientific process as there are no plot holes whatsoever that I came across. The Story is incredibly interesting and philosophical at times. The characters are all incredibly well written and all have their own motives that you care about. The Villain is one of the most interesting villains I've seen in anime. His motives are as clear as day, he makes his motive blunt and known to everybody, this becomes the wedge between the Main Protagonist and the Villain and causes an extremely interesting plot to be put into motion. Technical Aspects, like Music and Animation, are all stellar. I especially loved the visuals of scientific information that they convey in an often comedic way. The Comedy in this show is very good in general as well. Dr. Stone is an anime that I'm excited to see more of in the future.",8 "Seriously, im gonna write an app that allows viewers to play corporate product placement bingo watching Netflix originals. This one is sure to deliver great coverage on your card. Borderline shameless. Nah, just shameless. I detected some action in the background but couldn't get past the plugs.",3 "The CGI was good but the entire plot, acting, and ""humor"" was absolutely horrible. The plot made no sense, and there were several mistakes in the first 20 mins in regards to editing.",1 "Although this is a teen movie, and yet another teen ""gross out"" movie, I'm in my 50s and enjoyed it very much. However, I will add a warning to that: my wife and I first rented the video, and couldn't watch it because it was too graphic and gross, but I ended up seeing the ""sanitized"" version on TV which I liked very much. It all goes to prove that you really don't need the extremes to be funny. It also proved that not much has changed since I was a teenager. The story line is simple and basic: the nerdy kids who are going to be graduating from high school and going their separate ways are looking to have a booze-fest party, and get lucky with some girls in their class. What distinguishes the movie, however, is the characters themselves, who essentially start together, then go their separate ways in the night of partying at unexpected places, and eventually linking back up in the end. Their journeys are hilarious, particularly that of ""McLovin"" who creates this identity on a fake ID and ends up spending this night in the company of two totally inept cops. It ends up as a fun adventure, with a lot of laughs, nostalgia for those of us who are older, and of course, a happy ending after all the uncertainty of the boys big night out. It remains unique however, and shouldn't be compared to ""American Pie"" of other teen movies of this genre due to that, but if you like those, you'll like this.",8 "I just could not go on watching it all of the way through. Super slow! Boring! Depressing! Bleak. When I saw the previews for this I was very interested and wondered if it was associated with a short story I had read. I really wanted to like it. My suggestion is just forgo watching it. The cast is first rate, but they dont really have a script that engages the actor's skill, or the viewer's interest, and patience. There just is not much worth saying about the film. If there was anything good about this film it happened after I stopped watching. If so you would really have to suffer though watching a lot of slow boring stuff. If you made it through the whole film you have a lot more patience than I do.",2 This series contains a remarkable amount of left handed actors. One would almost suspect that this is intentional. Why that is remains a mystery as does the storyline. I very much enjoyed it.,8 "First and Foremost, this is my first review, feel free to give advise and rating. Thanks. In my opinion, the plot in season 2 was much better than season one. However, the storyline of both season were quite unique than other TV Series. While others had a clear and visible villain, although the handler was kind of the villain in the umbrella academy, the real enemies of the main characters were themselves. The scriptwriters used the long-separated family member as the conflict line among the story. Even they had superpower, the sibling problem showed they were human like anyone else. BTW that's a clever move when it comes to superhero movie/film, to raise coherence and echoes between audience and those ""heroes"". In Season 2, the characters continued the cult-style as season but in a more reasonable ways and dealing with those setting more smoothly and naturally which is much better than season one. Moreover, the ""problem solving skill"" of those characters was improved significantly in Season 2. I mean it seemed only Number Five is the only person is reasonable in season one, while others were the chess of the scriptwriter lol. However in Season two, almost every character had something they cared about which was vital for shaping a rounded character. And we, as a audience/watcher, could really understand the rationale behind the characters. Always, there is always a question my mind that what did i learn / understand after almost 10 hours watching. For season 1&2, Number Five was showing to us that even we tried and wanted sth so much, we may not be able to get what we need. Even more frustrating is that sometimes people around you, even your family would not necessary understand you, if not against you. In that time, part yourself in their shoes and communication are the last thing you would like to listen. However, it is the most useful and necessary thing to do. Especially in season 2, Number Five took his bother with him during mission and Allison's willingness to tell the Story was well appreciated. We, ordinary people, surely do not have the doomsday and apocalypse to stop. However, every daily matter is a chance to reflect and think how to be nicer to ourselves and people around us.",8 Sadly there is no story line nor the shooting was good. the entire movie was shot in India but it says Bangladesh. Only good part of the movie is Chris and three stars only for him.,3 "What a waste of time. A mishmash story thrown together like a middle school kid finishing a project the day it's due. Whoever wrote and rewrote this needs their coffee dumped over their head. And whoever directed it needs the same for letting it get to that point. Visually it was pretty cool. But the whole scenario that a gazillion dollars would be spent to get revenge...dumb. I've seen worse. But not many that would waste three hours of your life. Maybe next time aim for a ninety minute to one hundred ten-twenty minute because, come on, that was just stupid long. Also maybe try having a story that flows a little better. Something that moves in one direction, towards the end of the movie. Instead it dragged. Way too long for the garbage story to unfold.",3 Bakwas ..epic flop don't waste ur time Bakwas ..epic flop don't waste ur time Bakwas ..epic flop don't waste ur time Bakwas ..epic flop don't waste ur time Bakwas ..epic flop don't waste ur time,1 "I watched the first 4 episodes. Honestly this is the most overhyped show I've ever watched. Is it all because of Cavill? Seriously? Imho, he plays an awful Witcher. Could have chosen so many other actors, but just Cavill is able to swing a sword and fight on screen they chose him. Lol. Alongside that. The CGI is god awful. Idk how some people are saying it's satisfactory at all...the sets they use look fake as hell, like they were made in the 60's. Just terrible. And where the hell is the plot. How does this show have above a 7?",4 "The person who described this as 'a Friday night film' has it spot on. It's good fun with some gorgeous people doing what secretly we'd all like to do, whilst being ok about admitting they are scared sometimes. The locations chosen are great and the script is typical Bay-esque. Good fun and eminently watchable in a nutshell",6 "Secret Superstar is the newest of Aamir Khan's films, as a huge fan of his and having his works as my main/only source of Bollywood/Indian films this film to me was quite disappointing. It certainly delivered a great message, had good acting, music and cinematography, like most of Khan's films. However, i felt that this is probably the weakest of his entries that I have seen, it seems that it would be impossible for Khan to rekindle the flames of 3 idiots which gave us in my opinion one of the best films ever. The whole first act of Secret Superstar felt dragged and mostly unnecessary as we follow a formulaic and often clichéd storyline which in many ways is very similar to that of Khan's other recent film, Dangal. The similarities follow all the way down to the casting choice of the main character. Unfortunately, Secret Superstar just didn't hit me that hard, perhaps this also has something to do with Khan being slightly underutilized. While I thoroughly enjoyed the music and song choices they did sound at times unnatural and that was something that I found quite off putting. The film does have good acting and a lacking but decent narrative that fans of Indian cinema and the melodramatic genre could enjoy. But definitely one of Khan's weaker entries.",7 "Didn't really know what to expect from this, but this is one of the best films of the year. Laugh-out-loud funny and heartfelt, Margot and Ryan Gosling throw themselves head first into Barbie and Ken like some kind of Zoolander/Legally Blonde/Lego Movie hybrid, but far more intelligently written. Jam packed with in-jokes, sly references and even a Mattel-censored F-bomb, Barbie is relentlessly entertaining from start to finish. Most of the satire will fly over kids' heads, as we had a theatre-full of Belgrave's finest letting their vile offspring literally run riot under the screen. Luckily, the movie was so good we kept our teacher voices to ourselves. Over to Oppenheimer on Sunday. 9/10.",9 "These five stars go only to the actors themselves, who were phenomenal, and also genuinely touching as singers. This film left me feeling like most Hollywood films do - like eating several packages of skittles in one sitting. After suffering through the unbelievably nauseating script, which turns what could be a very beautiful and romantic story into probably the most boring, uninspired relationship I've ever seen, I still couldn't get one thing out of my head: What does any of this music have to do with jazz or musicals? Everything I heard was thinly veiled pop music chords with trumpets or saxophones to disguise them. There was no joy in any of the melodies, nothing touching whatsoever about Emma Stones' solo, just purely banal, lifeless chord progressions. This film is not art, the same way skittles are not food. But at least skittles don't market themselves as a word-class meal, which is honest, unlike this widely acclaimed ""masterpiece"" that betrays the aspirations of art entirely.",5 "It was pleasurable to watch the visual effects of fantastic beasts and I really liked how those beasts are treated as partners to solve the problem at the end of the plot. The chemistry between two couples was really cute especially Jacob and Queenie. Jacob, as a 'nomage', he brought relaxing mood and funny moments into the film. I liked how child abuse is depicted as monstrous feature and by this way, the movie gives a little comfort to the outsiders of the society. The main protagonist, Newt, he is very different from typical main characters of Hollywood, who are extremely talented, powerful, and cool and so on. I loved the shy and introverted man confronting challenges and try to solve them with other characters, Tina and Jacob. This was very fresh.",7 "Its all about movie actress queen, heart of film lovely actress Kangna , She must get Filmare award for her role, She did very well role i really loved her, how she manage situation with her innocent face and dialogue show that real Indian girl which is well discipline and belongs to well cultured, Apart from actress i really enjoyed songs and role played by her friends all of them are amazing, its look new actor but they showed talent beyond and language is not issue for all of them, how they express their feeling on movie they don't need words, its just amazing new guys. Finally, I would say that just go and must watch movie . Enjoy life with Fullest!!!",9 "A banal and predictable story to pain. I wished to turn it off after 10 minutes, but I've watched it to the end. Now I regret..",4 Does every show need to be based around the garbage ESG score? Does every show have to throw in abortion rights and gay people? Its 70% useless filler now & nothing exciting is happening this season. Nothing that made the first 2 seasons good. Wtf am I watching?,1 "This movie requires blind faith in theoretical physics as much as religion requires blind faith. And I'm not talking mainstream blind faith - I'm talking Mormon/Scientology levels of blind faith. The best one can do is just watch it as a film, and not get caught up in the science, or lack there of. As a film, they spend WAY too much time with the family in the beginning. Time that should have been dedicated to the actual space travel. A very slow burn, but the acting is great. A serious lack of explanation for things they want you to swallow for the story to make sense. I give it a one time watch value of 7; with a rewatch value of 4. Together - a 6. Decent, but the hype around this film makes no sense; almost as much as the 'science' involved.",6 "I was expecting big things from this film. Especially with the mild disappointment of Batman vs Superman. I had a lot of faith in the Russo brothers to deliver, especially after what they did with The Winter Soldier. And, boy they delivered. Again, they've delivered the perfect blend of action, humour and seriousness we've seen in other Marvel hits, but this time they had about 10 superheroes to fit in. And they did it. They actually gave each character a chance to shine in their own respect. Which I thought was outstanding. The action was expertly done, with minimal CGI and lots of hand-to-hand combat, which is how it should be done. In summary, this film has made me very excited for Infinity War. P.S: Spiderman is f***ing awesome!",9 "I'm a 23 year old male, huge Marvel fan, huge Superhero fan, and a huge fan of CGI action movies. And somehow, Venom managed to fumble the ball on all fronts. This was the only movie in my entire LIFE I have ever walked out of. It only took a good 30 minutes before I completely lost hope. The scenes for some reason feel wrong?? Almost like a collection of poor quality drawing board ideas that were FILMED before being finished. Really cringy acting and horrible jokes do a great job derailing any hope of a positive experience from this movie, which is confusing because Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson are both amazing actors. The CGI effects used for ANYTHING venom does (talking, crawling, moving around) reminds me of a PS2 cutscene. The sense of humor this movie has is virtually nonexistent, with the bad one liners and outdated references. The almost childlike arguments between Venom and Eddie made me squirm in my seat with discomfort as the theatre remained silent and nobody laughed. Save your time, money, sanity, and soul and do NOT go see this monstrosity.",1 "Let me start to say that I find the series entertaining, but in my opinion it just does not live up to the books. It lacks the dept and story of the books. The acting done by the actors is wonderful and Diana is wonderfully cast but I can't commit to it like I did with the books. I must admit that the books are one of my favorite series ever so my expectations were high :)",7 I have liked this series except the acting of Heroine of Raj kumar Rao. Abhishek Bachchan is the cake of the series.,8 "Follow a dumb villain with no plan trying to do something!? And each two dudes walking and nagging... As always, the villain has the exact same powers as the protagonist!",1 "Superbad is a teen movie. It also will draw comparisons to American Pie, in it's ""losers try to get laid"" themes, and occasional gross-out comedy. But the comparison is unfair - Superbad is a funnier, more subversive and more importantly genuine movie than American Pie or any of it's awful sequels were. The three central characters have a believable, likable relationship, that the film takes time to establish. Cera, Hill (who deserves special praise, for turning what could have been a really unlikeable character into a sweet, if loud-mouthed and crass, teenager) and Mintz-Plasse bounce of each other perfectly. The movie creates some funny situations, and more importantly, hilarious dialogue throughout. Aside from one comedic misfire - an overly long (and poorly judged) gross out sight gag involving a pair of trousers and a dance - Superbad had me laughing constantly. It's sweet, it's funny as hell, and it's established a load of new talent.",8 "I loved watching the original series, and the movie. This series takes the same general story and spices it with the drama that only interpersonal relationships can provide. It also has plenty of action and heart stopping moments. I can't wait to see where this season's cliffhanger twist takes the Robinsons in season two. Loved it!",9 "I have no knowledge of the novels and really knew nothing coming into watching this show. But David Tennant is usually quite brilliant and the team behind this production is also solid. But for me it feels similar to season 3 of Stranger Things in the way that people ignore the issues because of some sense of needing to love it regardless of whats actually happening on screen. Ill start at my main issue, David Tennant, in my honest opinion he was very poor. I felt like every scene was him over acting a great deal. It felt like a very forced performance and every second of him on the screen was like watching an actor and not a character in a series. Also the show was insanely boring, I pushed through 4 episodes and every single time I became easily sidetracked with my phone. My wife and I actually ended up having some intimate fun during this show as we knew that around the 20 minute mark we were both bored out of our brains. So I guess from the sense it was great as it gave me a week or bedroom fun, or in this case couch fun. All in all it just felt forced and just didn't do it for me.",5 Kind of boring and underwhelming. Not the worst release in the MCU but definitely amongst the bottom few. Nothing against the performances or cinematography or anything. Acting was good and everything looked cinematic. Just not that interesting or exciting.,5 "I have watched all the Harry Potter films and the first fantastic beasts film and enjoyed these. But I'm sorry, I found this latest film lacked a clear story line. The scenes didn't seem to logically connect together. I tried to concentrate hard, as I wanted to understand what the characters were doing. But I failed to work out what the characters were doing (apart from wandering randomly around Paris). I go to cinema to enjoy a story but came away frustrated. Yes it has special effects but that doesn't make for a good film.",3 "A standard format plot stocked with cardboard characters completely lacking in appeal or charm. Nobody you could really care about. Loud, frenetic music to boost the 'excitement'. Poor editing. Hundreds of flash cuts in the action scenes. You might as well be watching a series of photographs. Not recommended for viewing by people with a functioning cerebrum.",3 "I was looking forward to this but am disappointed so far. Is this action, comedy or a family drama. I can't tell yet - and the producers haven't figured it out either. The cast is solid - especially the kids and while I have loved Parker Posey in so many films, her Dr Smith is a cardboard cut out so far. They better make her a more sympathetic character or she will be a reason for many to abandon this ship.",5 "If a series talks about one theme and manages to do that until the end, they deserve a round of applause. So many different series could not, and 13 Reasons Why was one of them. The title '13 Reasons Why' had a meaning, 13 reasons as to why someone did something, or why something happened. And they did pour the title into the story very well in the first season. Season 1 had a coherent plot, cinematography, cinematic representation, and practically anything else you might've wanted from a teen drama series. It interpreted the title very well with Hannah Baker's tapes and the people in them. The theme was light, it was a good mystery, it was a good romance, it was a good crime series. I'd happily give season 1 an 8.6 or even a 9, but they just had to carry on with season 2, 3, and 4. The thing is, the whole '13 Reasons Why' arc only applied to the first season. Season 2 was nothing but the production team beating a dead horse. They could've removed the last three seasons and be praised for just one good season. The second season's plot didn't need to happen. Even if the audiences didn't see it on screen, the story could've ended just fine. So were the events of season 3. A whole new crime, a whole new case for an entirely different character. A whole season dedicated for a whole new mystery that could've been countered with--oh I don't know, how about a redemption arc? Redemption arcs don't exist in 13 Reasons Why. I can name a few different series and movies that managed to fit a good redemption arc in between the main events of the story, but nope, that was just not the case in this show. Death really is the cheapest way of redeeming a character. Even the one single character I once believed would finally get redemption at the end of the fourth season was once again served with injustice. Don't get me started with the final season. I really had high hopes, because one friend convinced me to finish the series instead of abandoning it for something else. But if there was one season in 13 Reasons why that disappointed me the most, it was season 4. Season 3 carried quite a plot on its shoulders, with it wrapped up in at the end of the season, yet quite unsatisfyingly, and I was more than happy to greet a fourth season, see if justice will be served. Personally I was less on Clay and his friends' side and more on the 'antagonists'' side, and I'd like to see a series where the main character is made as the bad guys and gets justice served right onto their faces. Season 4 also got me really excited the first time. Aside from it being the final season and carrying the conclusion to the conflict in season 3, season 4 had a really good color scheme representation, which I had also praised in the previous seasons. The series finale was the farthest thing I can get from an ending I actually want. I thought 13 Reasons Why was finally doing something different, making me side with the initial 'antagonists' of the fourth season for once. It didn't represent it's '13 Reasons Why' series title whichever way you see it. And no, forcing the initial main characters of a series for a rendezvous does not count. Why would you bring back characters who didn't even matter throughout the events at season 2 and 3 for a fifteen-minute scene at the end of the series? If it matters, there were zero likeable characters from the series. The main character is pathetic, and everyone else bores me, they seem to have same problems, and if they do, it's not put into focus in the series except for Tony Padilla. One character in particular amused me, though, and he was Charlie St. George, more because he was soft and lovable than because he changed the series in some way. His caring and loving attitude was exactly the thing I needed in the midst of liars, rapers, and killers in the 13 Reasons Why storyline. I might sound like I loathed the series, and some part of me does. I spent a night coding and decoding, seeing if there was a hidden ending or a hidden moral the 13 Reasons Why crew wanted me to pick, but there was none. That, or I didn't think hard enough. But I can't say I hated everything about it. The first season had a very good story. It was coherent, it was good, cinematic representation was done very well, how we can see that the scene we're watching is set in the past through the warm shade, and in the present with the colder color scheme and Clay's scar. The same cinematic representation was used throughout season 2 and 3, where season 3 also had screen size difference for these representations, a wider one for present events. The story itself told us that people you think might be innocent could be deeply involved in a crime, that rape and bullying is a more serious problem than meets the eye. And even though season 2 and 3's plot were forced, I really have to compliment the actors on their acting throughout the series, especially Katherine Langford and Alisha Boe's. In short, if you're watching movies and shows for the thrill of it, if you just want to watch good shows, you should stick with the first season. Don't even bother touching the second seasons and the seasons that come afterwards. But if you're here for curiosity, for criticism, to see why people are so against the show after season 1, then do carry on.",7 "There was a time when a Steven Spielberg movie virtually guaranteed a great time, but more recently he's either concentrated on Oscar bait, or delivered mainstream entertainment that has seriously missed the mark (War of the Worlds, Crystal Skull). Ready Player one is his most disappointing film yet, a loud, garish assault on the senses with a derivative plot (Avatar meets Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), a glut of headache-inducing CGI-laden action scenes, and countless references to pop culture that will probably fly over the heads of many an audience (especially the younger viewers). Based on the New York Times bestseller by Ernest Cline, the film is set in the year 2045 and stars Tye Sheridan (Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse) as Wade Watts, who, like most of the world's population, escapes the drudgery of reality by immersing himself in the virtual world of Oasis. Wade, as avatar Parzival, takes part in a contest created by Oasis's creator Halliday (Mark Rylance), the winner of which will be given complete control of the popular online playground. As the first to solve stage one of the game, Parzival comes to the attention of powerful corporation IOI, who are dedicated to finding the ultimate prize: a hidden 'easter egg'. What follows is a breakneck rampage through the various digital environments of Oasis, with 90% of the action consisting of computer generated characters, none of which possesses the excitement or tension of a real-life movie. Spielberg seems to have completely forgotten how to tell a coherent story, his film a mess of ideas that prove difficult to follow, hindered by an orgy of chaotic, colourful visuals that do little to aid comprehension. There are also several comedic moments that fall incredibly flat. It's hard to believe that this is from the same man who gave us timeless classics Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park.",2 "I was happily surprised when I watched Lost in Space. I never did watch the older show, but I was very happy with the aesthetics of the show and the beautiful scenery. The show makes the planet they are on feel like it is not on Earth and the introduction of the robot is amazing. The robot is my favorite character on the show. He is amazing, but the show does not use him as well as they should. His arc twists and turns throughout the show, but not in a way that better enhances the show. Otherwise, I did really like the show. Don West, played by Ignacio Serricchio from Bones, is absolutely vibrant. I did hate his character on Bones funny enough, but I really liked him in this show. He is very funny and he is similar to Han Solo in that he is a lovable con, but the show will go further into that. The Robinson Family is a very interesting cast of characters. They are all very strong and all speak their own mind. I have truly never seen a show of characters that are all so bold and all stick to their own opinions and moral code with no wavering of judgement. Lastly, this show definitely does have its faults, but the ending does show some serious potential. Lost in Space is similar to Ozark in a way, because while both stumble, it is easy to see that better seasons will unfold. The writers set up a very interesting and profound Season 2, which makes me very excited!!! I definitely recommend this show, but I remind you, the show is not perfect!",8 "Stroy line - i'll leave to viewer to accept or reject because its indian politician version of undisclosed truth. otherwise as a Bollywood movie , nothing much to say. few over hyped sentiment scene , BGM sometimes i felt like bollywood song theme. lol!!! But its good try but ended up as typical Medicore movie to show one side propaganda.",5 "This movie is way overrated. This movie lacks character. I found myself dosing off at some parts most likely due to the poor acting. The only good part was when he first became Iron Man but then it dragged on after that. Some people are saying that this movie is ""Intelligent"". If it was ""Intelligent"" they would have been a little more forthcoming by being more detailed and explaining exactly on how they made that suit work. This movie could have been so much better. The idea was good but executed by the wrong cast. I really don't know what else to say. I am only typing more because apparently this comment isn't long enough yet for submission..... Ahhhh there it goes",3 "The acting in this film is laughably terrible from pretty much everyone, especially the main two actors, and alien guy (Benedict Cumbertwat). Best watched when fully relaxed and drinking some tasty beverages or whatever floats your boat. The feeling I got from 1917 is annoyance, irritation, and amusement. Films that do mega long takes that follow characters around for 10 minutes without a visible cut need to do it so we forget the camera is there, or at least in a way that justifies the long take. 1917 never makes me forget the camera is there. It feels like a Wes Anderson movie trying to be serious, but in its attempt becomes unintentionally even funnier. The only good movie I can think of that did a long take following characters around was the one that popularised it; Children of Men. If you're going to use a mega long take, have actors who can act, make the shot impressive or engaging (not with camera lingering on nothing for minutes at a time), and don't use the camera in ways that break the fourth wall. 1917 falls in the same waste basket as all other modern war movies that think they're doing something cool but which fail miserably in my opinion, films like Dunkirk, The Darkest Hour, etc. Boring. Seen it all before in better films. Please do something unique or original, not rehashing the same old garbage over and over. Also you don't have to desaturate the film so much that any further desaturation would make it black and white. Learn from the greats of the genres 1917 is trying to emulate; Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, Prisoner of the Mountains, Paths of Glory, Apocalypse Now, Come and See, Tangerines, The Edge, etc. Overall I'd say 1917 is much better and worthwhile than Dune (utter garbage), largely coz 1917 is unintentionally funny, whereas Dune is pure desaturated boring shlock with the worst acting ever. The reason I mention Dune here is coz they feel in the same category of modern whiny films that think they're doing something impressive when in fact I'd rather watch reruns of Dad's Army despite not having seen it for at least 20 years.",5 "The conjuring is one of my favorite horror films but this joke of a movie is laughable. It's not scary, the screenplay is brutally bad & the actors are not suitable for a high school play. Please people do yourself a favor and spare yourselves the agony of torturing yourselves for 90 minutes !!!",1 "The idea behind the movie is different; I haven't seen a similar plot in a horror movie before. It's not just another horror flick with a lot of blood, screams, and demonic possession. The whole concept is unique. The film delves into the repercussions of engaging with spirits and the manipulation of malevolent forces, emphasizing that not all wandering souls harbor benevolence. However, what I really liked the most is the ending. I felt that the ending carries a deep, rich idea behind it. If you love horror movies, as I do, you should definitely give this movie a try. I have no problems watching it one more time.",10 "No idea how this movie is rated an 8.5 average, and got nominated for Best Original Screenplay is beyond me. I won't give direct spoilers, but nonetheless the below gives hints of what the movie is about. First of all, from my perspective, they took what was Saving Private Ryan and essentially reversed it. Nothing very new in the plot here as far as I was concerned. Secondly, the movie was way too predictable in multiple places. I am normally absorbed by movies, but in this one I found myself saying to myself throughout the movie ""it is likely that this will happen or that will happen."" Everything about it seemed quite contrived. All that said, the acting was good, the cinematography, etc. was good. As well, it was an enjoyable movie. But, I'd rate it a 5 or a 6; I easily could have spent my Valentine's date with the wife doing something more enjoyable.",5 "I had high hopes for this movie. I grew up watching Michelle Yeoh before she broke onto the Hollywood screen. The plot is interesting and creative, but the execution was poor. It was hard to make heads or tails between scenes once I got to the second half of the movie. There are several entertaining scenes on each of their own, but overall as the movie progressed it got kind of ridiculous and melodramatic. I found myself sighing and rolling my eyes then checked my phone to see how much longer it had left. Despite how much I like Michelle Yeoh and how glad I am to see an Asian-American movie making it big in Hollywood, I kind of hated this movie. Sorry not sorry.",4 Season one was okay and then season 2 I couldn't keep myself from not paying attention. Season 3 has taken me a few tries to finish the first episode. It seriously amazes me how much hype and love this disaster of a series brings in. It's like it's designed for for woman/feminist audiences not trying to sound sexist but if you don't see it you're definitely blind.,3 "This isn't a bad show by no means, but its not great either. Its more of a time killer than anything else. I can't really explain what's wrong with it, maybe its the whole principle. Yes its modern family so everything has to be modern but i for one don't like that. Everything is modern just like in any other home and all of the kids are ""modern"" as well, just like in any other home. To me its more of a really show than a sitcom. Most of the stuff they do i do too, and the stuff that's supposed to be funny isn't, for me. There is something missing and i just don't know what that is but the atmosphere of the whole show just don't feel right, it doesn't feel like a loving family that cares about each other they all seem fake. Just like in real life. So basically i find this more of a meta show than a sitcom, making fun of the entire world basically. But this is my opinion and opinions are subjective",7 "Whole India should watch the movie. The director Nagraj sir⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The cast ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big B Acting ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Music Ajay Atul & Sid sriram ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Whole team ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Please go and watch the movie rather posting any review ...",10 "Martin Scorsese's new film THE WOLF OF WALL STREET makes Gordon Gekko, famous for his ""Greed is Good"" speech in Oliver Stone's 1987 movie WALL STREET, look housebroken and tame by comparison. This wild and offensive cinematic experience is overly long, with a kinetic performance by Leonardo DiCaprio portraying the real life, shameless Jordan Belfort (who wrote the book from which this movie was made,) an individual who reminded me of an evangelical preacher - stirring up his congregation of hungry, amoral brokers to bilk working class people - seducing them to invest in fraudulent penny stock transactions. The rapid ascension to personal enrichment is made to seem smooth and simple. While many people in the audience laughed at Jordan and his team's gaming of the ""suckers"", I wore a dour expression during the three hours of what some experienced as exhilarating entertainment. I despised Scorsese's celebration of the perks of debauchery. Though some critics might see this film as a sharp indictment of the culture of Wall Street, I found the opposite to be true; there was absolutely no penetration of the surface capitalist veneer of grasping wealth at the expense of others. On the contrary, this movie plunges into the dank, muddy swamps of excrement and attempts to beguile us with the empty putrid spoils that are found there. Jonah Hill is proving to be a good actor playing Jordan's co-conspirator, Donnie Azoff - introducing him to the world of getting ""high"", giving him the ""gift"" of hallucinatory release, ecstasy and eventual addiction. Also Matthew McConaughey in a very short cameo role, almost steals the show as Belfort 's early ""mentor"" in the business of exploiting corporate acquisitiveness. It was also good to see Rob Reiner as Jordan's father, the one sane person in a room of ""animals"" all unfettering their ""ids"" in unison. We witness the hackneyed culture of ""the good life,"" lots of drugs, (quaaludes and cocaine,) constant screwing – women's bodies were all of the typical fantasy mold - existing to satisfy the ""boys"" in both classic and extravagant positions. Despite the illusion of ""extreme"" dissipation, the unfeeling and repetitive acts of dissolution became tiresome, and that was one of my major problems with THE WOLF OF WALL STREET. Jordan Belfort is a cardboard, onanistic testosterone driven, self-indulgent man who can motivate others with the passion of his own greed, but there is no sense of an actual person behind the beautiful clothes and cars that he surrounds himself with, and so frankly I don't give a damn about him or his ilk.",5 "From my very male perspective, this fits into the same space as the Twilight movies do. It's more shiny vampire stuff meant mostly for women. Except, it's so brilliantly executed with such beautiful and likeable main characters that I'm actually enjoying it along with my wife rather than tolerating it and contemplating slitting my wrists.",8 Great music whole season!amazing acting specially by henry he was literally living as geralt of rivia!the story was too complex it was hard to understand at start didn't figured that its different timelines.the basic intros at start needed to show that whose what like explaining what thing is what!it was until ep3 found it was all different timelines and i needed explanation video as too know what happened clearly it was mostly made to please book and games fans but as i watched this first i was little off the track with story it was too fast paced at start 2 episodes!the 1st and last 2 episodes were amazing to watch specially fight scenes it was skeptical to watch and the 3rd episode was shockingly awesome but some episodes felt like totally changing the theme of the show and felt off the track only thing left was destiny and at end it was satisfying I hope they give the time to story to build and us to keep track of story!overall amazing and entertaining to watch looking forward to 2nd season!,9 A slow start in the first couple of episodes and then tried squeezing everything in the last. Oscar Isaac was the stand out in an otherwise very average show.,6 "I honestly didn't know what to make of this adaptation, so I'll break up my thoughts likes this: The Good: I really enjoyed the story and I found that to be one of the most interesting parts of this movie. I also thought the cast did a very good job acting. I thought Leonardo Di Caprio had a very good performance as well as Tobey Maguire. In a way it was worth seeing just for all of the performances. It also had some good visuals to look at at times, a pretty decent score, very good costume design and great production value. The Bad: Although the story was pretty good, it just wasn't strong enough because the characters had no substance whatsoever, except for maybe Gatsby. You only knew a few things about a few characters in back story and that was it. You didn't know who the characters were as far as personality went. They were given no depth and were all just there to move the story along. I also did not like the pacing of the movie. I thought it felt very rushed most of the time. Some parts were happening so fast that I couldn't even get into the scene and I wanted to be invested. For example, when the film opens with a montage for Nick Carraray's story the camera wouldn't stop moving as it kept making fast these cuts. It was just so distracting and hard for me to focus. Also, I thought the modern day soundtrack was very unfitting. They did not fit any scenes whatsoever. I thought some of the use of the CGI backgrounds and green screen were unnecessary because it did not fit a film like this. I understand that that might be part of the director's style, but it could have been tastefully done. That type of style was properly used in some comic book movies (Sin City, Watchmen, etc.) it shouldn't be used in an adaptation of a classic novel like this. I really wanted to like this movie, but those flaws unfortunately kept me from enjoying it. All and all I thought there was some stuff to like and stuff to dislike. I didn't like it and I didn't hate it. I'd say I'm in the middle for this one because I really didn't know what to make of it. In a way it's worth seeing because the performances were good, but other than that I wouldn't say it's that worth it. It's one of those movies you'll see once and never want to see again. 4.5/10",4 "The story in Barbie isn't about a doll. It's about reconciling the imperfect world we live in with the idealized stories we tell and create. We use our dolls, toys, and play to create those stories. We internalize the ideals shared through those stories. Sometimes they are good ideals that empower us. Sometimes they are toxic ideals that disempower us. Ultimately they are created by us and we are influenced by them. We created them, and we can change them. We can make them what ever we want them to be. We can make ourselves what ever we want to be. The tag line for the barbie doll is ""You can be anything."" That in the point of the movie. You can be anything.",10 "The first episode actually does a good job of selling the viewer on the idea that this is a reality show, and that everyone is acting except for one person, and that the one person is essentially being pranked. Even after James Marsden comes in on the 2nd episode, there are still some aspects of the show that convincingly continue the sham. But by the 3rd episode you can't help but to wonder why NOBODY recognizes Marsden except for the guy ""being pranked"", or how they managed to succeed with getting the guy to perfectly participate in unscripted improv ""comedy"" that always comes together (meaning it never fails) like episodes of the Office. And then by the 4th episode you can't help but to ask yourself ""Am I actually watching the Office by mistake?"" The Office... a boring dry comedy show in which every character is an idiot that says and does only absolutely idiotic things. Because that is what all these people end up doing, except for the one guy being pranked. Yet he participates in all of the dumb activities (why would he do such a thing?), or during the times he is off-camera we are left to watch a scripted improv comedy skit unfold... that which is meant to purposely look and sound exactly like the Office. By the 4th episode the hijinks become so absurd... nobody with a brain could possibly believe that the things they see are not some part of a hidden camera prank. Or.... the one guy, who supposedly doesn't know that everything is fake, is actually so oblivious to things that he could seriously believe that the Office was a reality show. What I'm saying is.... by the 3rd or 4th episode, you will realize that you are not watching a reality show in which one guy is being pranked.... instead, you are watching a blatantly horrible Office clone. The ""everyone is an actor except for one person"" bit is BS... and that one actor is poorly acting just as much as the rest of them. Forget that the show breaks rules of law and courtroom procedures (things that obviously go over everyone's head, including the guy who ""doesn't know its fake"").... the first episode leaves you scratching your head as to what is going on in totality because there is no background info given.... the show just jumps into the 1st episode with no explanation. Also, I recognized that some of the cast are actors that I have seen before in other shows and movies. Imagine how quick the show would get pulled if the one guy actually didn't know the truth, and then one day learned that his fellow jurors have all been on multiple shows and movies. Oopsies! Bottom line is that you will most likely enjoy his show if you like The Office, though it is lacking the charm of the US version of the Office. And I never watched the UK version so I can't comment. But its quite dated as far as the comedy goes, is it not? And its quite offensive that they are selling the garbage to the public as ""real"". (i.e. They are LYING).",4 "The original series contained a range of interesting characters all bent on forming unusual alliances and ultimately bringing about one anothers destruction. So far in the new series there are NO interesting characters at all, nothing interesting has happened, the plot is weak and mundane. This whole effort appears to be a forced milking of the original series on the basis of a commision to create anything, in the expectation that people will watch. Where are all the high profile actors? Where is the multifacted plot line of the original, with multiple threads forming, multiplying, then eventually coming together.",2 I had very high expectations from this show but it turned out to be a massive let down. Very boring and unoriginal. I'll leave it at that.,3 "There's been so much hype around this but I went in with relatively lower expectations. After watching the premiere I'm not sure how to feel about it because it's just one episode after all. Off to a slow start but so was Game Of Thrones. The production and acting pedigree is so far on par with the original, and with such a vast world and source material to base the series on I'm hoping the first season is a success so that the show can explore all the history and areas GOT couldn't. I like how it starts out like it's own independent series, introducing us to the world it's based on instead of throwing us in into the thick of things hoping viewers have preceding knowledge from the series it's based on. I hate how many times I've already mentioned game of thrones but it is very reminiscent of it, the breathtaking scenery, gory fights and duels, the politics and it seems the licentious tastes too will continue on in the prequel. As glad as I am to see similar traits I also hopes it creates it's on identity to set it apart. I am scared people will want it to live up to the Game of thrones name, maybe judge it too harshly too early in the process but hope it has a successful run. It is very promising.",7 "No more words to spill...unbelievable bad....one of the whorst films I have ever seen!! Unrealistic and full of historical mistakes. 3 oscars??..what a joke!!",1 "Really? This is a joke, not a tv series. Bad script, terrible acting, hillarious characters. It's a lame failed copy of ""Game of thrones"". In fact, it looks more like a stupid cartoon. Hardly get to watch first two episodes. Epic fail, Netflix!",2 "It's wonderful, gruesome, visually stunning, etc. I could go on forever about how beautiful of a piece of art this show was and how well it still holds up!",10 "I just love it, I don't understand why people compare it to GoT... It's really different type of story and flow. The only reason I didn't rate this show a perfect 10 is because it made for ppl who know a little background of the story, if I wouldn't knew about it I guess I would be confused about the story in the first episodes...",9 "The story claimed to be based on factual true events; it makes it more interesting to see. The basic premise is a rare one, a lying husband decide to con his way to his father-in-law's money turns out of control and claiming many lives. The story and focus dramatization were developed well; it was able to emphasize the thriller aspect as well as at the same time presenting the quirkiness of the story in the characters. We have a contradicting pair of kidnappers, one a foul-mouthed talker while the other one a calm and silent yet sadistic. On the other side of the story we have the easy-going and spirited policewoman. The acting is quite good that it can take you deep into the story despite all the quirks in the story. Macy and McDormand performed their roles well; they managed to keep me interested in seeing what's next for them. While the quirky pair of Buscemi and Stormare can bring a few laughs into the horrific tale told here.",7 "This was both amusing and exciting! What heinous devastation! I'll take one thing away from this movie: Carnage is here, and Andy Serkis delivers on every level in this long-awaited sequel to Venom. Introducing his soon-to-be wife, Frances Harrison aka Shriek, who was the polar opposite of Kasady/Carnage, especially with her meta-human abilities, was also an impressive addition. The primary blueprint storyline for Cletus Kasady's troubled genesis tale, as shown brilliantly in the film's opening title scene. Recommended 100%",10 I don't think anyone that made the movie actually read the book. It only had a vague likeness to the book. I was looking forward to this movie because you could just visualize what it could be when you read the book. If you've never read anything about it it may be an OK movie but it was so glaringly off it definitely took you out of the story. I wished I waited for it to hit Red box! Not a full price ticket kinda movie.,5 "The fight scenes are what kept me interested, the action and music were spot on. Other than that I can't tell what is going on with this show. It's set in present day but all the technology is from the 1980's, each character has a subplot cut scene that keeps me disoriented as to what the actual plot is to this show. I feel like the story takes a backseat to the action. There really is no character development, just a bunch of ""moving on"" scenes.",5 "I can't understand why such a huge popularity when this movie has little to do with the reality. There are many wrongs, let me just count few: -ISS orbits Earth in 45min, so debris at the same orbital hight could not hit it every 90 min. -Hubble telescope and ISS are not on the same altitude and do not have same velocity. Transffering yourself form on position to another takes a space vehicle and advanced planing. -debris traveling at speed of 10 times more than a bullet could not been see. -astronauts can't take off a space suite. They need to spent up to 3 hours in decompression chamber since they breathe pure oxygen at partial pressure, while on ISS there is an air mixture much like on Earth but at a bit lower pressure than on Earth. Also taking a space suite off after decompression is a 3 man job and it take much more than a few seconds and under the suite you wear cooling suite and an adult diaper. -There is no way to operate Chinese space module if you are not familiar with it. -I also doubt that Sandra could be an astronaut since she shows claustrophobia and she makes stupid screams like she's having an intense orgasm. -Chinese station would not fell on Earth by itself. Someone will need to slow down the object to lose altitude and finally enters the Eart's atmosphere. -Durring the atmospheric reentry you feel a strong force of braking, so the object wouldn't just float.",2 I'm a huge stranger things fan but this season very long and dragged out. 3 years of waiting wasn't worth the hype. I loved the brutality but story is disappointing. Its the same story with different monster nothing new. I would say season 3 and season 4 don't have charm of season 1 and 2.,2 "This show is everything that's wrong with Americans, and, you know, that's probably the point. With its over-the-top violence and ignorant characters, I can see what they're going for, but God, it is SO bad. After the first season, I just couldn't keep watching the train wreck. Sorry, no.",4 "I have heard great things about this Movie and finally decided to see it for myself. The plot was so slow and It wasn't very Interesting. I'm a huge fan of Scorsese's other works such as good fellas. Robert De Niro was okay at best in this, but the writing was overall mediocre.",2 "I guess the makers of this played The Darkness a lot! Highly unoriginal, cliched And formulaic. It's like the film makers put a selection of good ideas in a bag, drew them out at random and prayed the film would be good. It's not. Tom Hardy is Tom Hardy: likeable, charismatic, a dependable investment and he is the only thing separation Venom from the gammut of awful recent films.",5 "I actually liked the first episode until they brought in the 12 year old tough girl, so un realistic, I get tired of the kid tough guys as it is not possable, give it a rest and besides that she talks like she has a mouth full of marbles and is not very eye appealing. Repeat I actually liked the first episode until they brought in the 12 year old tough girl, so un realistic, I get tired of the kid tough guys as it is not possable, give it a rest and besides that she talks like she has a mouth full of marbles and is not very eye appealing.

I can not comment on anything, but I'll say I'm bit disappointed with it. It was a SciFi movie so I had a better expectations from it. Anyway! If you wanna timepass for 90min with a SciFi ( Space/Astronaut) genre movie then without keeping any expectations go for it and yeah you can watch it with your family as well. Overall 4 out of 10 Stars from my side.",4 "What a messed up story. From the beginning I could not figure out, what this movie is about and it got more confusing by the minute. Four stars since te special effects are okay, but not more. Acting is sub-zero.",4 "I don't know what's going on! Why are you guys rating the series after the release of only one episode?! Please wait till the whole thing is released then you can rate it as you want, I'm talking for both good and bad reviews.",7 "Why is your series different from the story in the book? People expected stories from the book, not logicless elements like the Battle of Sodden or the story of Myshowor. In addition, there was a lack of consistency with the historical facts of the Witcher' Universe. There was no Slavic music that would give the whole atmosphere. In this aspect, the story of CDProject Red is much better than your series.",7 "Everything is cliché, one-dimensional and in-your-face-quirky. The fact that it has such a high rating means the world is doomed, because the masses are obviously brain-dead.",1 "When I heard that ABC was going to do an hour long show about Agents of Shield, I had hope that this wouldn't be your typical superheroes like Smallville or Arrow. The Marvel comics I grew up with was renown for being a comic of diversity. But given ABC's track record for its lack of diversity when it comes to its shows, I wasn't surprised that AOS doesn't have actors that look like me. I had high hopes on the pilot but was disappointed and every week the network promised the show would get better. The show reminds me of Once Upon A Time, superheroes version and the feeling that I'm watching one long Marvel movie that should have ended hours ago. The only reason this show exist is because Disney has invested too much money to pull the plug and as much as I admire Joss Whedon, he alone can't save what could have been the best superhero show ever! Instead its just a vehicle to show trailers for the next Marvel movies.",1 "It was a snooze fest untill the third act. I loved the Carnage vs Venom third act. But until then, the movie kinda sucks. It was disappointing and almost put my Girlfriend to sleep. The CGI still needs work. Maybe it would be better in 3D. The third act is great. Also enjoyed the end credit scene.",6 "The dialogue in this is not one iota different from any other sc-fi drama. Everyone talks the same, sounds the same as though people were no more advanced in ...well, whatever century this is set in, than they are now (and that's not saying much). I stopped reading any review on here higher than 5, because these are people who probably don't say ""no"" to anything or anyone. Either that or they're high. Or under 18, or love the CW network and think it's ""awesome."" (Which is all rather the same level of critical acuity.) Hiddleston is less ""Loki"" than in the movies. He's now a ""Detective-God"" for a timeline agency. The plot plods along (yes, it's only two episodes, but if you think writing changes, you don't understand scriptwriting), and Loki dumbs himself down to get along with everyone else. Owen Wilson plays...Owen Wilson. Not an iota different in acting than anything else. It merely moves from scene to scene to scene with the usual smart aleck-type characters. The ""yeah-sure-do-I-look-like-I-was-born-yesterday"" types. Stale quips, one-liners, and dialogue so dead, if it were hooked up to a heart machine, it would be a flatline from beginning to end. Disappointing, after 50 years of reading Thor and seeing Loki do some REALLY despicable things. Loki has no real powers anymore, so he's just an ""older"" detective (he IS, after all a few hundred thousand years old. He's just one of the gang, and with the usual arguments by those in authority about whether he's good or bad. I know how they feel. It's mediocre entertainment, of the sort that permeates significant percentage of tv today. Not bad, but certainly not outstanding, or even great. (For that, watch the Mandalorian, which is far, FAR better (and makes sense)). Loki will appeal to those who like it simply because Loki, God of Mischief is in it (not because he's good, because so far, he's just talking thru scene after scene, but not those who assess critically. Grade: D.",4 "What do we have here: award winning actors playing a corny script that is badly directed. Daniel Craig with the most preposterous accent (what wrong with is British one???). Kate Hudson is doing a caricature of past roles. Hat trick oscar winner giving us performance we want to forget. The film is supposed to be a comedy and a thriller it succeed of been none of them. Someone thought lets take ""Friends"" ""Seinfeld"" and ""The Social Network"" and make a movie well it just doesn't work, as an art critic once said on a painting ""An excellent and original art, but it's a pity that the excellent parts isn't original and the original isn't excellent"". I lasted till the end so maybe I should have gave it an higher rating, but the ""achivement"" of taking a group of such fine actors and squeezing a bad performance should be awarded .",3 "I was hoping to see the characters from the Carry On films, but left feeling disappointed. Not recommended if you are hoping to see the characters from the Carry On films.",4 "Tom H makes the movie tolerable, the story is not original and that's it you watch it and you move on",5 "A friend described Sandra Bullock's moaning and gasping in a good portion of the film as sounding like ""bad sex."" This was just a bad movie with no realism and, really, no suspense...the whole thing just wasn't believable. How Sandra Bullock's character was not screened out of the space program due to her emotional problems caused by the sudden death of her four year old child cannot be explained. George Clooney's character was a modern day Don Juan (apparently the only role Clooney is comfortable portraying) and is about as realistic as Johnny Depp's role as Tonto in ""The Lone Ranger."" Putting ""the make"" on a fellow astronaut during a life threatening situation is only credible to Hollywood. Sadly, this kind of fluff in now de rigueur in today's world of film production!",2 "I bought this because I am a huge fan of Deepika Padukone and ended up loving it for the work that Farhan Akhtar brings to it. I never heard much about this flick, and was pleasantly surprised how well crafted the story line is. Basic descriptions make you think it's another Bollywood romance, and romance is there, but it's not overtly gushing as some films have nowadays. The crafting comes with the small props like the Rubik's Cube that pops up in several scenes, the sound of Karthik's heartbeat when the scene is intense, the camera angles that make you feel like you are part of the scene, or the music playing that is just right for the moment. As you watch the movie the plot becomes believable and you start to feel for Karthik. Deepika's character, Shonali, is portrayed perfect. Not as some way out of reach girlfriend, but as someone approachable, even someone without any social skills. All the side characters play their rolls perfect and contribute to the story without stealing the thunder from Farhan and Deepika. It's has a perfect mix of romance, drama and mystery thrown all together in a beautiful mix.",8 "This movie is boring and unintriguing. I didnt understand it and it didnt make me want to understand it. To me nothing saves it and it is a complete garbage, despite the big hype.",2 "Iron Man 2 is not a terrible movie but definitely failed at living up to the expectations. It starts off with the most classic revengeful villain, but after a quick first confrontation, you have to go through an endless section that is meant to introduce a bunch of MCU characters and expand on Howard Stark's figure. In the meantime, Ivan prepares for the big fight, which is the only reason you are willing to bear all those minutes of unnecessary drama. Unfortunately, it all builds up into a rushed and lackluster final battle (they fight robots for minutes and then Whiplash dies in like ten seconds. What the?). A totally superfluous movie that could have been only saved by Tony Stark's charisma. Unfortunately, even his character ended up being compromised by the way less inspired writing and sometimes overly cheesy humor à la Batman & Robin. All the freshness, humor and focus on the character that made the first movie good is not here, I am surprised to see that both movies were directed by the same person.",5 "I'm not giving 1 star to this movie just because I don't like it, but this movie is just not for me. In my opinion, none of them, I mean Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are good singers, so that wasn't something I liked, even because I don't like much the musicals, but on the other hand I loved some other musicals, but not this one, this movie is absolutely boring and listening to them singing is a bit painful. For some reasons, I'm not a fan of Emma Stone, but I appreciated her in other movies. Let's say that Emma Stone and this musical don't give as a final result an Oscar prize, but as everyone would understand, I'm wrong. Her Oscar talks clearly, but it doesn't matter, to me, in this movie, Emma Stone doesn't deserve an Oscar. Anyway this is just my opinion and everybody should watch this movie and after that deciding whether this movie is great or overrated. Enjoy!",6 "I expected more from this. Good example of a saying ,,trailer is better then movie/series"".",5 "Situations, dialogue, banter feels formulaic and uninspired, like they were writing to a template of plot points they had to hit. Falcon and Winter's relationship feels shallow and forced which leaves the impression that the characters are shallow. MCU has built complex characters with emotional intelligence throughout all their movies, and this feels like an outlier. Having little soul, the story is mostly boring. The only interesting parts are the non-superhero scenes that talk to racial tensions. Those scenes have depth and realistic context which, in other MCU movies exists throughout the entire story and action scenes. In this story, depth is slid in between plot points like an afterthought. I have loved every MCU movie and WandaVision, but this one doesn't carry the energy of the others. It's a caricature of the MCU.",2 "This felt like when i started watching breaking bad - everyone said it was 10 times better than my favorite Peaky Blinders & had better twists and turns then my second favorite House of Cards, but..Im not sure i even finished the first season. Its just boring! Nothing significant happens (or at least it feels that way, whivh is worse) and u feel u stumbled upon a show that u missed the first 20mins of. Well, this is just like that, except it demands 3 hrs of ur time in 1 sitting. I caught my thoughts wondering about in the first 20mins - I was already bored and as I said, felt I missed the beginning ot the movie. For someone whos top 5 list includes Goodfellas, Wolf of Wall Street... what the hell was this movie?? What was it even about? Why was it 3 hrs long? If felt like one 3 hr extremely boring scene. For me, nothing escalated, no build up of anything, no focus on 1 story... it was just a complete waste of my time. So disappointed!!",2 "What the heck was that self indulgent arty farty rubbish?? Tarantino movies were once a sight to behold but this is just a play to the establishment for an award or two. His obsession with 60/70's grindhouse is boring now. It's definately not Oscar worthy and unless you are in the Hollywood establishment you won't have a clue about the movie. The only saving grace is Brad Pitts acting but still a country mile of an award and not in the same league as Phoenix performance in The Joker. Joker... Now That's next level s...",3 "While nowhere near a Richard Curtis Romcom, it is definitely in the next bracket. It is help massively by a strong cast who all pour their heart and soul into it. It's easy to see how Russell Brand broke the American market, for a short time anyway, with performances in well picked films like this. Along with Brand, I though Rudd and Kunis were excellent too. You will watch it, enjoy it, but probably never revisit.",6 Brilliantly filmed. Excellent acting. Very attractive effects. Could have been so good however I was bored.,2 "I watched two episodes and I had enough. It was so boring that I couldn't watch the third episode. There was simply nothing worthy of spending my precious time on. Are all the other 9/10, 10/10 reviews here paid for or people have started doing drugs? There's no way this could even be given 5/10.

It wasn't until Arcane came out that I have loved an animated show so thoroughly. The writing, pacing, music,acting editing just all of it. *chef's kiss* I'm worried about the second attempt at a live action. There were only a hand full of episodes that felt like padding. One in particular i didnt care for but the others all brought at least important character moments. This is such a mature show that had to cater to kids from time to time, but the themes and psycology, even the spiritual and philosophical aspects of it were so ahead of it's time. No wonder nothing has lived up to my love for this show. (Except Arcane) ugh, I could gush about this show for days.",10 "A really inconsistent series, in that the first three episodes drag, the fourth picks up and the final two are great, leading to a brilliant finale. But the ending doesn't make up for the beginning. Overall it's a good show but nothing special, neither of the leads are strong enough characters to be standalone in the early stages and they ruined a perfect villain in Zemo. The different take on the enemy group is a nice twist and led by a fresh lead villain which is appreciated, as is the new Cap figure, but nothing flows or gets you gripped at any point for the first half of the series. Plus Carter is an unwelcome and disappointing return. It could have been a whole lot better. People complaining about it being 'woke' are ridiculous, and it's barely political to call out a society's former and continued discrimination. This doesn't really enter the story until the latter episodes and all it does is add substance and context to some of the most important characters. Superhero stories are about good and evil, therefore morality within government structure is of course a valid route to go down. It's got to have some political leaning and it does this without aggressively pushing any movement other than combatting ignorance. Evidently fictional discrimination is perfect for some audiences but bringing real life into a universe increasingly becoming more in line with modern day contexts is too far.",7 "Watch out - the amount of intelligent scriptwriting you accredit this funny movie with may be surprisingly linear to the lack of simple scientific knowledge and common sense you might possess! I simply CAN NOT believe that this movie has a 9.1 rating on IMDb. It makes me question a) the people or b) people who take time to write reviews. This is actually my first comment here and its catalyzed by the imposing will to set one thing straight: It is an absolutely average Hollywood flick and the first that made me question Leo's decision. I became a fan of this excellent acting in the recent years but it was actually painful to listen to the randomly pulled together pseudo-scientific plot. If you know anything about what they try to make up you will start laughing or continue to watch and hope for the good stuff to start. The action was good and the movie definitely has it's moments but I couldn't ""enjoy"" it until the last hour. Watch it if you can be easily pursued into a poorly presented idea, believe it and be drawn into it. And there seems to be nothing else worth watching right now - unless you check some aspiring independent movies. Don't watch it if you like sci-fi that is believable and passionate. This one is one lame attempt -or just a blown up money grab. As overrated as Batman.",4 "Contrary to the opinions of the deluded army of comic reading Nolan fanboy geeks who have descended on IMDb, Christopher Nolan has entirely and irrevocably disappeared up his own self inflated backside with this movie. I say The Emperors New Clothes because the director will sneer at anyone who doesn't understand the film and he has thus created a perfect defence mechanism. I'm sure Di Caprio et al had in depth briefings about the narrative and can explain it verbatim but us viewers are left to work it out for ourselves. And it's so full of holes, so full of irrelevant tripe and so full of itself that it isn't easy. It's incredible that its been voted the 3rd best film of all time by IMDb users. I mean seriously, that's a joke. The fanboys all want to laud Nolan as the new Kubrick (another joke) but in doing so they have voted this tosh above ALL of Kubricks work. It's such a smug self congratulatory film from the get go and it just gets smugger as time drags on. Now of course I appreciate that you can go too far in explaining every detail to the viewer with unnecessary script mechanics that insult the viewers intelligence. However, although you can go too far in explaining, you can also go too far in NOT explaining and expect the viewer to grasp in a single viewing what is a massively complex concept film - and one that's so badly flawed in so many areas for it to undermine the whole 'intellectual' nature of it. The idea of the film is OK and the film does have its moments but there are so many scenes that don't make sense that it spoils it entirely. I appreciate that 'heist' movies are usually procedural and that Nolan wanted to avoid that but in doing so he's created the most self-indulgent picture ever. I could go on about the snow scene, the thoroughly implausible way these people not only do what they do but 'assemble' as a team, the oh-I'm-Christoper-so-considerably-cleverer-than-you-are-Nolan backstory with Di Caprio's wife but I'm not going to pick apart the scenes because I'd be here for hours and I haven't got the energy left after enduring this nonsense. Besides; everything could be spun that he meant this or that (he isn't as deep as he likes you to think). Inception is all fur coat and no knickers. It explains so little of what is going on that I left feeling angry. And I generally get these films so it's not a case of me being some moronic fool who struggles to follow the weather. And billed as a completely original idea? Nah. There's obvious similarities with The Matrix, Dreamscape, Total Recall, Flatliners, Vanilla Sky, Pan's Labyrinth, Dream Demon and even one of the Star Trek Next Generation Episodes centred around the holodeck, all of which I've 'gotten' - the good ones, the bad ones, the ones you ponder for days afterwards. The fact is with this abomination I simply can't be bothered to think about it because I really don't care. I don't care about the characters, I don't care about the ending (which was excruciatingly predictable) and I don't care about how clever Nolan thinks he is. You're not mate. You've pulled a massive con with this film by creating a movie where you can call people stupid if they don't get it / like it. You get to sneer and snigger at the stupid little people. You've taken your previous successes to the movie execs and they've foolishly allowed themselves to fund your rampant self indulgence. That's what irritates me the most about this utter piffle. I understood what was understandable about this film and there are of course films where the intention is to purposely let the viewer fill in the gaps with their own imagination (generally a nice touch) but that simply isn't the case here. The story script and indeed most of the awful acting (outside of Di Caprio, Juno girl and Cillian Murphy) neither holds it together nor papers over the cracks of a weak script that's trying to be oh so deep... and badly failing. This is over 120 minutes of my life that I will never ever get back and I simply couldn't wait for the film to end. I had lost all interest in any of the characters, their backstorys or indeed the 'mission' after an hour once I woke up to the fact that he was clearly unable to pull the film together into something coherent and genuinely contemplative. And judging by the rest of the audience and the people I was with, I wasn't the only person who left feeling bitterly cheated. I congratulate Nolan on creating hysteria, mass hypnosis and hype because he's clearly managed to brainwash a lot of the audience into making them think they've seen a clever film. That's the only inception. Go and see this insidious fluff for a visual experience perhaps (even then; visually it's pretty overrated). But don't be surprised if you feel a strange peer group pressure to tell whoever you go to see it with that you understood it all when you probably didn't (or if you did; that you actually care and did so in spite of a dumb script). Nolan is not nor ever will be Kubrick. Kubrick would have done this film justice - after he had rewritten the script, changed half the cast, removed 45 minutes of length and replaced it with sensible content that made the film engaging and cohesive. I fear the next set of people to be duped will be those who vote for this trite idiocy come the Oscars. BTW I wager that Nolan watched Guy Ritchies Revolver and liked it. Congratulations Christopher, you have just descended to his level of filmmaking. Meh.",1 "S1 was great. The acting, storytelling, everything. S2 was decent but I felt it was VERY preachy and I felt the whole arch in S2 was lame. Yes racism is bad we know but making an entire season based on that premise? I also felt like it was a little more predictable and cliche in S2. Also some of the stories are just boring and I found myself skipping through. All of The Deeps scenes were an insta skip for me. Adds absolutely nothing to the story. Also way to much filler. But theres so much filler because the actual story is paper thin. All in all I feel like this show tries to be different but its actually pretty predictable and they try to throw you ""off guard"" with gore scenes here and there. S1 = 8. S2 = 6.5.",6 "If you like virus movies,mass psychosis movies,it come at night movies and all the rest of tomorrow never comes movies,then you should make a blind date with this film. it has some tense moments and very strict rules a paths to follow, but it is not the kind of film i like. i like sandra so thats why i saw it.she and some of the cast are doing a great job, but there are as usual too much jabbing about,so it gets what the germans say ''langweillig''. i just dont understand why they couldnt use polaroid sunglasses,or sun screenfoil on a divers mask just to reflect the develish vibes of sinisterism.... what makes this blindroad to succes come through are the awsome filmography,and scenic views. the moral is to listen to what the blind man says,or become blind yourself,then you might survive this ordeal. its barely recommendable",6 "The Godfather saga continues, telling The story of Vito, his childhood and journey to America, and the story of hia son Michael, who would become a immensely powerful criminal in the 1950's. When someone tells you that sequels are never as good as the originals, give them this name, you can make a very strong case. I'd have to put this on par with the original, quite simply put, it's one of the greatest films ever made. There isn't a single wasted frame, every decadent scene matters, every action has consequences, every twist, every turn, every moment, will have you captivated. The original was a mammoth success, so commercially it was the right thing to do, but at no point does this film feel like a hollow, money making exercise, it merely serves to build on the brilliance of the first, serving as both a prequel and sequel. Director Francis Ford Coppola truly delivers in every single front, the story is magnificent, but the way the two elements are clearly woven together, effortlessly, the viewer never struggles to keep up. The visuals are sensational, it is one of the best looking films ever made, there's a huge cast, with a massive number of extras, cars, fashions and sets look tremendous. De Niro was superb, Al Pacino's performance is arguably one of the greatest of all time, it's easy to see why for many he is one of the best ever. What I wouldn't give for a solid gold telephone. One of the best films ever made, I can only imagine how many great movies were influenced by this masterpiece. 10/10.",10 "I stopped watching after the fourth episode bcs I didn't get convinced by Wednesday's reason to stay at school and play Nancy Drew. Also, I really would like to see scenes from Wednesday's dark deeds as she describes them or just flashbacks, not just empty mentions as if they are gonna make us believe everything she says. If you wanna keep ppl watching then show them the stories. People are here to watch, not listen to tales. Some characters just don't fit the story. Especially Wednesday's roommate. I wish the whole series had been given to Tim Burton to write/direct. Corporate agendas are clearly showing themselves. Pity.",6 "This is like everyone else says a extreme case of ""the 80's"". It does an amazing job of boiling it down and is to me a type of time travel. While im hardly knowledgeable enough to know exactly what it is they copied i recognize it without knowing its names. They do a impressive job of it, while the 80's certainly had its flaws it had loads of charm and it produced some cute and horrible movies and shows. BUT and here comes my own issue with this series its a mashup of ALL types of of 80's shows comedy horror and drama. In the 80s you could never have made this Frankenstein of horror-comedy-drama show the mixing makes it feel almost modern. As a chef if you want to do a asian dish you dont take every single spice from the whole asian kitchen and then add it all into a single dish, this is common sense right? Toke me forever to define it into words what i felt in my stomach while watching it. Still even so the nostalgia did its trick on me and even flawed i had a great time watching this. For my age group this is likely some serious catnip irresistible stuff",7 I am confused who this is targeted for so far. It is probably made for an American audience as I cannot relate to this style and humor at all. Hope it is gonna get better as the show gets more colorful,1 "I love the comic book, Iron Man. I perhaps always have. I also loved the first Iron Man movie. I'm not a purist, I just think it's a fun story. And it probably helps that I also enjoy TheOnion's video they did making fun of Iron Man's trailer back in 2008. Classic! However I digress... The good parts of this story are simply what you can surmise from watching the trailer: 1.) Bad Ass robots and suits all over the place. If you are someone who like the nerdgasm that sits at the heart of the Iron Man story then you are going to like some of the battles. 2.) There's a pretty good badguy in Sam Rockwell. Could have been a bit stronger but he's becomes a better baddie by the end of this sequel. The Mickey Rourke character was okay. Could have made it still a bit stronger. 3.) MINOR SPOILER: Personal angst and drama of Tony Stark. Ehhhhh. It was not so enjoyable this time. Mainly because we have to deal with an issue that plagues him throughout the story until (of course) he solves it at which point you may be shrugging and thinking, ""Okay, check that problem off the list. Next problem Tony will have to innovate around?"" I think at this point whatever angst he might have had in the first movie about his father-son issues and his doubts about his own purpose gets pushed to the side which is a real shame, because, heck, that was a vulnerable part of Tony where he found himself actually contemplating his own mortality and and purpose in the world. So, my opinion? Pushing that very cool dramatic father-son issue to the side was probably not the best choice. But heck, at least it wasn't completely forgotten. And it did play a certain role in him figuring out his own next invention. But seriously, too many dramatic issues in one two hour movie made the overall treatment of the dramatic issues rather shallow -- too much ground to cover, too little time. Over all, I still give it an 8 out of 10. Not saying it was exactly what I had hoped for but it was still rather satisfying. May not see it again for a while, but that's okay. I'll still go see the next one... and probably the ones after that if they make them...",8 "Just saw this movie. Russell Crowe has finally convinced me he is a very good actor. The movie itself didn't rock my world, but it did change my view of mental illness. I have been told by various doctors that schizophrenia patients really suffer and act just what the movie portrays. Towards the end the movie tries to pull out cheap tears by cliche devices. (and succeeds I'm afraid).",7 "I can't give the film higher marks as although I enjoyed it - it was great to watch- as a musical it didn't have the power of, say, Chicago. The dance routines were mediocre. Having recently watched Astaire and Powell dance to Begin the Beguine, the routine by the two actors by the lampost was just, well, lacking. Trying to be cool with hand in trouser pocket, they didn't seem to me to be dancing, just moving. Maybe it's not a fair comparison, but if dance routines are included, they've got to be good, and memorable. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the colour, the locations and the story. We weren't told what was going on in the story, it just evolved. The girl works in a cafe on a film production set, we see her going to rehearsals and ( despite doing well) fails to get parts. Chance meetings with the Sebastian, they talk about their aspirations, etc. etc. I saw the film with four others and they all said, what did you think of that? This isn't their usual response and they weren't smiling. I just enjoyed being entertained and watching the story unfold. The singing wasn't great, the songs not memorable and the dance routines OKish (the opening dance at the traffic jam was, er different). I think this scene was telling us that all of those drivers had dreams of fame - can't remember what the song was about though. It was enjoyable, but I didn't leave the cinema thinking I'd watched a great film.",6 "Yes. Day by day it becomes more obvious that now the movies are made just because of the income they generate and nothing else. Ok, Barbie itself was not a creative idea, I know. And actually I didn't expect to see something unseen something unique in the first place, all in all it's ""Barbie"". But wouldn't you agree with me in that it could have been excelled better? It totally could have been. This movie has a huge budget. Then why such a mediocre story at best? I'm not saying it was a bad movie as well, but it was just ""ok"". Just that. Nowadays movies have become nothing else but live-actions, sequels and prequels. Now it seems like the only thing matters is to have known faces in your movie and the promotions; and creating a story and excelling it good became the least important components of a movie. Unfortunately, Barbie does not fall short in these criterias.",6 "As of late, the DCEU is doing a good job of establishing their universe after how their ensemble film basically ruined everything due to the producers poor decisions. From ""Aquaman"" to this film, I'm glad that I got to see another superhero done well on screen; although, I do have some gripes about the film that didn't make me like as others have. It's a big risk and rather difficult task to make a film of a child becoming an adult and I thought that this film did it quite well; it's basically ""Big"" with superheroes, as people have mentioned. I liked how they introduced the main character and we got to know him on why he does what he does. You understand Billy Batson well enough so when he turns to the superhero Shazam, Zachary Levi does a good job of capturing the mannerisms and the same personality that we saw from Asher Angel. I personally thought it worked fine and that we were able to see his growth and although he was a troublemaker, he still was likable to a point. He does something in the film that is clearly his fault, but he never goes to the point of feeling responsible for it. Instead, we are treated with an action scene and given no time for him to reflect back. Out of all of the characters, Billy Batson was possibly the one with the most depth and is the most interesting. Everyone else, on the other hand, was not, especially Freddy, played by Jack Dylan Grazer. He is possibly the most annoying and the least likable out of everyone due to the fact that everything that he gets himself involved with is his fault. Sure he is the comic relief, but he never made me laugh and because of how unlikable he is, I wished that the director and scriptwriter would have changed him a bit more to be more involved with the plot and to be more responsible. The other characters just have one note to them and are basically there to be there until something arises and they are given something to do. The villain was menacing and we understand him, but I just felt more pity that that was his main reason for being the villain. One of my biggest gripes here was that the film deviated away from the subplots of the film. I'm talking about the ones that will be able to add more depth to the characters and to add more impact to a certain situation that Billy Batson wants to do, in order to add comic relief. I did like the comedy and laughed a bit while watching Billy get used to his powers. But the fact that the movie wanted to focus more on the comedy rather than blending all of these elements together kind of hurt the film for me. Since director David F. Sandberg has made more horror films, I liked that he added a bit of a horror element at one scene. Also, when you do see that side story of Billy's take place, it does bring in the impact that I want and it shows how serious this situation was; it's sad that the film had us forget about it until the climax. All of the superhero stuff is fun and I have to give major praise for that. They were able to blend the action and comedy well, so when you see Shazam fighting, there will be a joke in between the fight and it never felt like the film stopped to tell this one joke. I did have fun and the film did surprise me a bit with how they executed the fight scenes and how things played out during the climax. I'm glad that this film is not as panned as the other films in the DCEU, but at the same time, this doesn't deserve all of the praise that has been given. There are major flaws here and I couldn't turn the other way and act like it wasn't there. I saw it and it bothered and despite that, it was still a fun movie. I'm glad the DCEU is going on the right track after they crashed and burned.",6 "MOVIE REVIEW **** ""Por Thozhil"" is another landmark in tamil movies after the widely acclaimed 2018 crime thriller ""Rakshasan"". Though the genre is well known .. of psychopath killers and cops on tail .. the movie highlights known ills in society, of the need for proper parenting and the need to have sane lives. Sarath Kumar, the talented veteran, literally carries the movie on his shoulders as the investigation officer who is ably supported by newcomer Ashok Selvan as the fainthearted but technically knowledgeable rookie IPS cop. The late Sarath Babu donning the role of ""Kennedy"" a suspect, really and truly sends shivers down the spine of everyone watching the movie. Sad that we lost this great talent whose deep baritone voice and heavy visage adds to his acting prowess. Sarath Kumar as always, does more than due justice to his role and shows the difference what an experienced actor can bring to the screen. Santhosh Keezhattoor, the only malayali actor acquits himself as the police inspector whose eccentricity in patenting creates a well rounded psychopathic killer. The movie sheds light on hitherto esoteric areas in human nervous system by bringing fresh awareness about ""pressure points"" (marma points on the body) and how knowledge about them can be utilised very quickly and effectively by an attacker and the need to be on guard always when in unfamiliar surroundings. This to me was the biggest takeaway from the movie. The unwinding plot of the movie also brings in an oft seen but little explained technical aspect of ""stove pipe malfunction"" in a pistol and the brilliance of the rookie cop in turning this disadvantage into a great position of strength in confronting the dauntiy adversary. The movie saves us from the usual melodramas and ""group gyrations"" thereby staying ""true and fair"".. to the genre of a psychopath crime thriller. Superb direction, vintage camera work and great supporting acts makes it a well rounded movie which is a must watch for several compelling reasons, apart from immersing oneself first hand as a crime cop in the proceedings .. though virtually. Conclusion: A good cop movie after a long time since ""U Turn"" and ""Rakshasan""- both Tamil movies released in 2018 and were great blockbusters.",9 "The day has come for Marvel to dip their toes in the darker tones of filmmaking, and do a fine job in doing so. Although the trailer for iron man 3 gave us the idea that marvel are going to take a new direction in their productions it's finally captain America which delivers. Acting from everyone involved was sublime, witty and sharp. The chemistry between Johansson and Evans is unbeatable, finally adding a maturity to male-female partnerships in the marvel universe rather than tongue in cheek dialogue. The action has never looked better in any marvel film to date, mainly due to the minimal amount of CGI used which I respect the filmmakers in doing so greatly. The story was thought out long and hard and had me captivated from start to finish, it has the original superhero themes but adds the dark,sensitive themes that I'd love to see in more Marvel films which is even shown in the characters clothing(falcon).i have not read any comic material from the Marvel universe so I have little to no ideas about the plans for our on screen heroes but there was some characters who I can see coming into the fray as the Marvel universe expands. Evans is coming to terms with 21st century life and the attitudes of those around him. The villain has a large back-story which we delve into as the story progresses. What i found most interesting is Samuel L Jackson's Nick fury character. We find there's a lot more to him than meets the eye (no pun intended) and find aspects of him that has not been revealed in previous films as he is generally seen as the boss of the avenger team who takes it upon himself to keep his allies in check, but he holds the responsibility of shield heavily on his shoulders, for good reason. The film still keeps intact the campy soundtracks that the prequel was known for but also introduces tension building/frightening tracks to emphasise the direction which the directors want to add to the captains storyline. The action flows smoothly, the acting is breathtaking, the story is solid. There is very little wrong with this gem of a film and I hope more marvel films catch on to this effective,fresh way of filmmaking.",8 "A Most Violent Year is a gangster movie in which the protagonist is ironically trying not to be a gangster. Oscar Isaac played the lead part so well, and it's rare to identify with a character so much that you genuinely empathize with him. I thought the movie was based on a true story, but the only factual thing about it was that New York City had its highest crime rate in 1981. Another commendable film from the director of Margin Call.",9 "I'm not a snob, I like all kinds of movies, in fact, I think that actors who can do a good job on multiple genes are the true thespians. However, I watched this hoping Adam Sandler could pull it off, and he just fell flat on his face! Even if he could, the story is written so horribly, it doesn't adhere to one genre, and it's just confusing with how much he owes who(if you follow what he says he owes, he should be plaid off, ) and all the peripherals are annoying and unnecessary, like the fakes being sold in the shop, the thing with getting the opal back. I think the story would have been enriched by far had they spent more time talking about what goes on in the shop! It was a hot mess... high on the snooze scale.",5 "Loki is the 3rd Marvel Disney+ show and it was the one I was most sceptical about. I felt Loki's last appearance should have been Infinity War but we see in Endgame that a Loki successfully escaped and this is the Loki that this show follows. It meant that none of the character development Loki went through in the movies didn't matter and that slightly worried me. The premise is ""After stealing the Tesseract during the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), an alternate version of Loki is brought to the mysterious Time Variance Authority (TVA), a bureaucratic organization that exists outside of time and space and monitors the timeline. They give Loki a choice: face being erased from existence due to being a ""time-variant"", or help fix the timeline and stop a greater threat"". So are my worries unfounded, or is this a bad time? Firstly, Tom Hiddleston is still amazing as Loki. He doesn't have the same screen time as other Marvel characters, so him having his TV show allowed him to shine more and he most definitely succeeds. Tom is charismatic and charming but can convey more emotional range due to his character having more emotional moments which was great to see. Tom also has great chemistry with Owen Wilson who plays Mobius, an agent of TVA, with the constant bickering and bonding between the two being the highlight of the series. Owen Wilson with his dry wit and great lines are just a blast to watch thanks to his performance. Tom also spends a lot of time with Sophia Di Martino who plays Sylvie and they also have great interactions. Sophia is surprisingly able to hold an equal screen presence with the amazing Tom Hiddleston and that's quite amazing. The rest of the supporting cast all do a great job in their roles and I think Marvel nailed their casting perfectly. Moreover, I love the story and the exploration of the multiverse. Loki being captured by some time organization and being forced to work for them is a great idea. It is also done quite well, with the buddy cop adventure of Loki and Mobius being an absolute blast to watch. The series also succeeds in exploring a different side to his character that we haven't seen in the movies by giving him a character that perfectly contrasts him in Sylvie. Their interactions are the main soul of this series and I thoroughly enjoyed watching both of them. The movies made me like Loki but this series makes you actually care for him. I also like that they utilized the multiverse and time as the main element for the story being told and for the most part, they use it effectively. They do change things up from other Superhero shows by using different rules to make the multiverse idea interesting as well. Additionally, the music score in Loki is composed by Natalie Holt and it is amazing. The score is very weird with its combination of electronic, orchestral sounds and weird instruments or sounds mash together which oddly fits the series. I love as the stakes get higher, the score starts becoming more and more operatic which complements the story. I also got to give praise for the Loki series intro as that is a great and iconic theme. I also really love the cinematography by Autumn Durald Arkapaw. There are a lot of vibrant colours and shots that make this series feel out of this world. If anything, Loki (2021) might have the best score and cinematography out of all the Marvel TV series so far. However, I do have some issues with the series. The pacing of the series is very slow at the beginning and the end. These episodes are more focused on setting up rules and doing info dumps which do take a while and slows the pacing. The thing is that these info dumps are very important for the context of the story but they do bombard with you a lot of info at once which can be a little exhausting. They do this a fair amount, to the point that it feels like the series is more focused on setting up phase 4 than the titular character of Loki. Likewise, I also have some issues with the action sequence in the series as they are not that impressive. While the music, visuals and story are out of this world, the action feels very tame. Loki has managed to fight superpowered individuals including the Avengers but the action scenes make him struggle against normal human individuals which just feels kind of odd. Although, there is a cool action scene that is filmed like one shot which was cool and a pretty fun CGI battle in another but for the most part, the action scenes are pretty underwhelming. My last point is mostly a nitpick but I am a little disappointed at the TVA as they are kind of lame. They are mostly composed of human-looking individuals. It is kind of disappointing as aliens do exist in MCU and there are none in the TVA. Also, the TVA soldiers are just swat looking people with shiny sticks which makes it hard to believe that they are the most powerful group in the MCU. Overall, Loki (2021) was quite surprising as it honestly may be one of the best Marvel shows they have done so far. Unlike WandaVision or The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki (2021) remained consistently good and even delivered a great ending. This series is very enjoyable thanks to the actors, music, cinematography and story. It does have some flaws but it delivers on every other aspect while also setting up an interesting future for the MCU. I highly recommend MCU movie fans give this series a chance as this is the most important Marvel TV series so far and might even pique your interest in a post-Endgame MCU.",8 "I don't know what I was expecting when I watched this but I ended up loving every minute. I've not seen Steve Martin or Martin short on my screen for a long time though I am a fan of their work. Such an odd mix of actors on paper but somehow it really works! I loved the twists and turns and the nod to all the true crime junkies/armchair detectives amongst us. Every other person seems to be on a Facebook crime group these days and it made me laugh that they channeled this so well. I liked the heart behind the characters as well as the comedy element. I watched this show with my partner and teen daughter and we all enjoyed it it's not often you can watch stuff with the family anymore, we loved it and would really recommend.",10 I'm 5 episodes in and want to kill Connell. Horrible person who is ashamed of his ( better looking than him ) girlfriend. He barely acknowledges her in public and stands by when she is verbally abused by his awful chums. What does she see in him?,6 I think the this TV show is terribly over rated....i mean just saying things quickly and confusing the audience does'NT solve a case....if you really want to watch a brainy TV show watch HOUSE MD. The sherlock movies are much better i would say because in the TV they seem to be very unrealistic and feels too artificial to me.,2 "When the movie story line tries to sell some irrelevant message, it ends up creating some nonsensical scenes which are not only digressing the plot but creates a sense of mockery for a great part of society. It's high time people start learning, respecting and bringing creativity in a much more subtle way rather than making fun of a community.",2 "A disjointed CGI mess. Too much going on to feel like a real narrative was going on. Very few laughs, didn't feel like it had much of a soul. Thought infinity war was a much more complete marvel movie.",3 "*Some spoilers of the action of the movie.... Like watching a first person video game at times. Silly dialogue and two main characters that would have died from the amount of falls from buildings, hits by vehicles and so forth that they inflicted. Two hours of killing that was fast enough at times you forgot there was really no plausible plot. Thank goodness it was Netflix so I could go back and watch from where I noodles off in boredom ( which was at least three or four times). These are the type of movie that so much crap blows up and Is destroyed but we never see the general public die. But in real life, the number of casualties would be immense ....zzzzzzzz",2 Comic book fun that even the most novice of comic book followers can enjoy!! Takes place in my old backyard & is a nice tribute to the Bay Area!! Good performances by all major characters!! A fun movie!! Fringes on the X-Men characters of old but all of these players minus Brock at times are anti-heroes. The special effects are spectacular and the comedy is timely. Only wish they would re-do the original Spider-man 3 with this Venom but that would have to be a flashback or reboot. Hardy is perfect for the character. The movie moves along at a great pace with very little lulls in it. Hope they make - and it seems like they will make a sequel really soon!!,7 "I honestly cannot understand those rating on here. The first half ot the movie is exactly what I expected from a barbie movie; it's fun, it's pink and it was just a great watch but then (oh lord) the second half started. Although I understand that the producers try to address certain issues in society but this has absolutely no place in a Barbie movie. I don't really enjoy it when a highly extravaganted issues is being shoved into my face. I honestly cannot understand how the producers thought that's the way to do it. It leaves a bitter taste behind and destroys the good vibes from the beginning of the movie. I'm extremely disappointed.",3 "Netflix tease trailer starts with a woman saying men will always try to teach you. Making you think it is one of those ""feminist"" (men are bad) series released. But it is no wear near that. A series about a person life and their obsession to be the best.",7 "This series is about for guys. They give up their cushy jobs to pursue Entrepreneurship. The hardships they face are typical to an Indian mindset. The issues that they face during fund-raising in the Indian investor community and how they overcome all that to... The story has been made gripping by bringing people who are known entrepreneurs. Fictional characters are so entertaining because they are actually presenting real life entrepreneurship problems. I am certain a bunch of Indians will take up entrepreneurship after watching this series. This is so engaging and entertaining. I have watched every single episode on the date of launch itself. I looked forward to watching it every episode. I hope they make season 2. They have waged a war against the poor quality TV programming with nothing else but Entrepreneurship! Wish them all the very best.",10 "JoJo is one of the weirdest and most entertaining anime's out there, and yet there's an emotional core to it. When people always talk about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure they always just talk about the memes or the great openings or the ""Enemy stando!"", but there's so much more to why people (including myself) love JoJo. Yes the memes and ridiculousness of JoJo is a ton of fun and certainly gives it the personality it's now become infamous for, but there is some truly incredible writing and characters in here. Plus because of the way the parts are laid out each one is unique and different, so if you didn't like the previous part then you'll probably like the next, then again literally every part is good except maybe the first. And the animation and music by David production is all fantastic.",9 "Not for me personally. I wouldn't recommend it. Found it to be cheesy, slow and irritating. I won't be watching more personally but I know people out there will love it. But I thought it was crappy crap lol",1 "Even after earning zillions bachchan is still not promoting others. He still wants to be in front of camera whereas he should at this stage either retire or promote new faces. Ideally bollywood has some 700-800 useless films which are mostly copied from some western/ south film produced every year and same 100 odd people: khan, kapoors act in them. Why not across these 800 films 200/300 should get opportunity to try their luck. As it is 200 is too small a no in a population of 150 crore population.",1 "If you want to try this show out I'd suggest watching at least 2-3 episodes. The first is a bit confusing and the names they use for nations/beasts can be hard to retain. I was curious after watching 2 episodes and hooked by 3. Very excited to see the next season!",9 This movie is bad. That's why I hate it. It is very dumb. It is almost as good as the emoji movie. And that is not a good thing,3 "We live in a new golden era of the television and this is for sure. Many new ideas, many new series and they all want to impress us a bit more than the other. Well, Devs, didn't impress me at all. On the contrary. I watched it because of all the hype and I was expecting to watch something decent. Boy, was it a waste of my precious time. The theory behind it is good but the execution was terrible. The main character, lily, is so unsympathetic that you literary don't give a freak about her existence. It could be that the actress is plain untalented. It is painful to hear her voice and even look at her sometimes. Another one of the ""problems"" is the awful soundtrack. But I guess you can solve this one by muting the whole thing. Overall I hated it and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone (well, probably I'd recommend it to people I hate), but I guess you can check by yourselves.",3 "It's an interesting idea for a story, about a fascinating time in our history, starring some truly stellar actors. I wanted to love it, but it left me completely cold. Line deliveries were stilted, strange, and downright unnatural at times. Dialogue was dull, bizarre, or repetitious throughout. Very little chemistry between characters, and the comedy never landed for me. It often felt like characters were talking at each other, instead of to each other. The editing was choppy, the cinematography uninspired or distracting in turns. It's got a good message, and some OK story ideas, but they are ham-handedly delivered and often completely jumbled. The costumes were fine, and my spouse enjoyed it, so I guess it has that going for it.",2 "Finally more US shows with heft, good acting, etc. I do feel the use of profanity feels both unnecessary and actually distracts from the quality of the show. It doesn't feel right and certainly doesn't contribute to the entertainment value. I guess what I'm saying is it feels gratuitous. That said, I'm enjoying the story lines, characters and of course seeing two faves from my teen years, Martin and Steve. Icons to be sure, but they also work so well in this show. I wasn't sure about it at first, but was hooked by the the third episode. Selena does a nice job, too, although maybe a bit lackluster-though I don't have any experience with her talents to base anything on.",8 "The end is nigh....part of me was sad to find out that the final story was to be split in two, I had religiously followed the series from day one at the cinema and thought it so cruel to make us all wait to see the end. But then looking back I am so happy they did, there would have been so much cut if not split as this is a long ending, not really complex but long. In this penultimate part we see Harry, Hermione and Ron make the split from Hogwarts as they seek further Horcruxes that they need to destroy to weaken Lord Voldemort and hopefully end his hold. Voldermort now has control over Hogwarts and the ministry of magic. Things are at their Darkest point now. The trio travel alone foiling those after them at every opportunity and it's harder on them with personal challenges that affect them.greatly. nowhere is safe and they must have their wits about them. This film sees many things that we have seen used before brought to the fore including their mode of transport holding hands to travel fast and far. What surprises me is the fact that the invisabikity cloak is not around anymore as that would prove a useful tool to have. There is some loss of characters in this one and we are witnessing the end of a wonderful series....there are sad times ahead for sure.",10 "My Rating : 7/10 A bit long-ish but if you're familiar with Bollywood movies then it's nothing. Overall, a good watch and well-acted. Rare to find darker stories in Bollywood cinema so it's great to actually have something like this to have even been made. Well-paced, well-directed and no unnecessary melodrama, no songs either which is rare. Recommended.",7 "AMSTERDAM is a Raymond Chandleresque epic noir, by which I mean that the mystery is buried under so many layers that you don't really know what's going on until the end. It is similar to THE BIG SLEEP or INHERENT VICE in that regard. Stories like this are entertaining and you know they're going somewhere, so you take the ride, thrill to the scenes and set pieces, and wait for the pay-off. AMSTERDAM is also, like INHERENT VICE, the kind of noir where the sleuth isn't a rugged bad-ass, but is instead a more alienated or fringe member of society. In this case there are 2, then 3 protagonists, and together they are in a wonderful friendship. This is a sweet, humane, and fun movie, wonderfully acted and beautifully filmed. The cast is full of fine actors. But the performance from Christian Bale is really something to behold. He inhabits this wonderful character, this humane and sweet natured Doctor who tries so hard to help, and whose charming and bumbling personality is such a joy to experience.",9 "Great film writing. Very sensitive treatment by both, the writer Gulzar saab and the director Shekhar Kapur, of an inherently disruptive subject. The melodrama is simply cut with amazing skill. And superb performances by all actors.",9 "A simply magnificent series, the adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's novels by Mark Gattis and Steven Moffat are an entire masterpiece and although the series has errors, are not noticed at all, it is amazing, exciting and leaves you wanting more, to deepen more about the main characters and especially with the relationship between James Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes that becomes even better than one expects. It is simply a work of art in all its expression and the music is excellent, which adapts the dangerous situations, sad or happy of the series, I would not get tired of seeing it once again",9 "So glad ww1 was fought with well spoken boring assed soliders. Considering ww1 was full of soldiers from all over the uk, the only ones you see are well groomed southerners, no soliders north of london. I found it hard to feel sorry for the main characters, they were soulless and stiff. It all just felt like a bbc drama, it could of been so much better. I turned it off after an hour.",1 "Marvel took it's usual approach to recent films and added a lot of humour to this, which was great, especially in the beginning. And as you would expect, the visuals were something to behold and really brought venom and carnage to life. They worked well with the story but it felt somewhat rushed, despite this being a 2hr movie, but it was atleast there and they gave Cletus and Francis a reasonable back story. What disappointed me was the action, or the lack of. From the title and name, well you'd expect Carnage to be chaotic and destructive especially considering he was attached to an already violent psycho unlike venom, and he was but everything felt held back; Venom too, though it kinda made sense considering where Venom and Brocks ""relationship"" was with their rules, yet you still expect him to be unleashed especially towards the end when going against carnage, who was supposedly sooo much stronger and venom feared. It was also surprisingly not bloody, despite the violence. Part of me feels like the rating could be the problem, which restricted the creators from exploring darker more violent themes. They didn't even show venom properly feasting when chopping heads off, not even the chickens. A bit anticlimactic as well, the venom vs carnage fight could have been it but the action didn't deliver. Great visuals though. When we came out the cinema, I could hear everyone talking more about the post credit scenes than the actual movie itself. It's kinda sad having that as the highlight. All in all, I think it's a good movie, most definitely worth a watch but it just felt like they didn't let everything out the bag. It's a really fun and funny movie, just needed a little more chaos.",7 "In retrospect I have to decrease my initial rating. When the first season came out I was optimistic and rated it about the same as the polish series, which is IMO around 7/10. There were parts I really liked and there were issues. The second season was worrisome. There were still parts I liked, but more issues. With rumors about the third season I am a bit sceptical about the future of the series. The parts I liked are pretty much allways the parts that were adapted from the Books. The Episode witht he Striga, with Nivellen and so on. Seeing these parts done so well is basically frustrating, because you see the pontential of what could have been if they'd just stuckt to the plot from the books. If the new or altered things were at least of similar entertainment value or better than the book plot, I'd be all for them, but they almost never are. The new rules just convolute and break the whole thing. The for example change the mechanism of magic which leads to major character differences. Cavill as Geralt is awesome. I also like the casting of Jaskier, Ciri and Yarpen and Mousesack. The script however doesn't stay true to the source material and sadly the stuff the showrunners came up with is not even close to being of comparable value. If you are intrigued by the witcher character, Please get an Audiobook of Last Wish and I am pretty sure you'll want to hear the rest. It is better, trust me. Mid Season 3 Update: The series is ever the same. Plot twists and character motivations leave you scratching your head, though there are moments that are still excellent. Those moments however are pretty much allways just nicked from the books. The plot is totally mangled up at this point into a mess, but I feel like in season 3 there are more scenes that are out of context pretty fun. It just further feeds my frustration, because they could have just followed what was given to them on a silver platter. Fun Fact: My wife used to be much more benevolent towards the Series, until I had her listen to the audiobooks. Now she sits there with me and gets perhaps even more frustrated by the choices they keep making.",5 "It was hard for this movie to follow the very good film that was The dark knight but it could have been better than this nonetheless.It was too long and as a result of that it was boring at times.Too many things were going on that weren't interesting at all. A lot of the characters weren't very likeable,to me at least but they were annoying instead.I never liked Oldman as James Gordon and Freeman as Fox.They were kind of lame characters and I believe in future Batman films there will be better portrayals of these characters.On the contrary I liked Tom Hardy as Bane.I didn't have a problem with his voice.He wasn't as multi dimensional as the Joker and Twoface from TDK but he had a strong presence in this movie despite his weak ending.As far as Batman is concerned I will agree that he was underused in this movie.To be honest I never cared much about Bale's Batman in this trilogy, he didn't carry any of the three films and he wasn't one of the strongest parts of these movies.As you can understand I definitely don't think Bale is the best Batman, but he was an ok Bruce Wayne.Last and least there's Hathaway as Selina Kyle.I'm almost certain that either Nolan or the studio put her in the flm because they wanted a female as the love interest of the protagonist.Her character didn't fit in the story and was by far worse than Michelle Pfeiffer.Her presence was a waste of screen time.The movie without her would have been shorter and better. The story was weak.The writing wasn't very polished either.The fight scenes were ordinary but I liked Bane's fighting style.The score was a strong part of the movie even though it was also used in TDK.The last two scenes were nicely done especially the scene with Wayne and Alfred. All in all this movie was just good.It is highly overrated but what can you do.I expected it.TDK is easily the best of the three,the first and this one are mediocre.Nolan has done so many great films and I was let down a little bit by this one which is his worst next to Batman Begins.",4 "Watch it. Funny, never predictable, and downright stupid at some points. But in a good way. Teen comedy that will never let you down.",10 "This critic text is only about season 1 Andrzej Sapkowski wrote in 1990 ""A lesser evil"" giving birth to Geralt of Rivia. He then wrote a series of short stories about him making some twists about fairy tales or folklore creatures and setting them in his dark fantasy universe. Then he wrote his epic pentalogy of the ""rescue of Ciri"" saga following some of the plot developed in his previous short stories. I didn't expect the series to be good but boy I was wrong. After all the buzz about the ""political casting"" of a multicultural cast and the precedents of Netflix doing some horrendous work in some adaptations, I was very cautious about this series. And I'm still not ok with some of the casting selection like Merigold Triss among others but generally, the cast is astounding. And they did the most important thing right: the characterization of Geralt of Rivia. This is a character ridden story and the character of Geralt is one hell of a characterization. I liked the leaked photos of Henry Cavil but more than physically he is the character made life and this was a blessing. Yennefer and Ciri are pretty good (we'll see in the future) and some of the secondaries like Cahir and Renfri are really well done. The tone, the setting, the strange chronically order and the language is like I imagined it more or less (because I'm not a native english reader and the material was well adapted in Spanish to fit the ""redneck"" language in some characters among other things) but the way they adapted the short stories: ""the witcher"", ""the lesser evil"", ""a question of price"" and others is astounding and perfectly executed. I would really like to see adapted all the short stories like the doppelganger one among others but I understand the need to adapt this material as a prequel to the ""Ciri saga"" and I also understand the necessary adaptations to the series format which has been done pretty well. The effects, the makeup, the costumes are really well done (well maybe not the nilfgaard armor). I hope the viewers enjoy this saga as I did and they are not anoyed with the weird timeline. It is the only thing that I can see as a impediment to truly enjoy it. I devoured the series as I did with the books and I felt hooked again on them. I can only hope that the adaptation follows with this level and that they continue this good work.",9 "Same lyricists as La La Land (one of my favorite films of all time)? Hugh Jackman going back to his musical roots? A musical surrounding around a circus with plenty of bombastic visuals and acts? Count me in. My interest in The Greatest Showman kept growing with every trailer and TV spot I saw. The final product is a crowd pleasing but ultimately disappointingly bland and cheesy musical loosely based on the infamous P.T. Barnum. Let me start off by talking about the things I liked. The music is fantastic and nothing short of inspirational and surprisingly moving. Everything from the opening number which sees Barnum as a young boy imagining a ""Greatest Show"", to the jaw-dropping ballad ""Never Enough"", to the likely Oscar winner ""This is Me"", and to my favorite track ""A Million Dreams"". The music is undeniably catchy and exactly what a movie like this needs. In fact, I could have used the film to have more numbers and be closer to a traditional all-sung musical rather than a musical number every scenes. So even though I didn't care for the rest of the film, the numbers are worth the price of admission alone. My main problem with the film, which seems to be a lot of people's issue, is that every single problem that comes up gets solved within minutes. This film is all about struggle and coming from nothing to achieve your dreams. A universal and worthy theme in any type of movie, but it only works if you can experience the struggle along with the triumph. Unfortunately, the story is muddied with plenty of character struggles that create obstacles for the protagonists, but are merely brushed aside a few minutes later with a quick scene. It's also worth noting just how cheesy this film is. I don't like using that term loosely, especially since I usually appreciate ""good cheesiness in films"". Heck there's plenty of musicals I've seen that have a charming cheese to them. But when a film has inconsequential struggles and contrived plot points, it's hard to get passed moments of pure unnecessary cheese. The film has grown on me a little bit since I saw it a few days back, with the soundtrack being the overwhelming reason for me rating this is as a positive review. If I could watch only the musical numbers and skip past every other scene, I think I would buy it on blu-ray. 6.0/10",6 The series hard done in all the aspects perfectly explained the ruthless Chernobyl incident. But it didn't perfectly match with the trailer. Good theme by the makers. Sensation acting with perfect cinematography and stunning and realistic visuals. But I felt music and background score a little bit disturbing . Good direction and horrible death scenes makes it a must watch series.,8 "This anime starts off very promising: a shonen about some kid trying to beat everyone in a tournament to get any wish granted. Unfortunately: that promise doesn't stay for long. There's alot of characters that they try to flesh out in this series but either due to runtime or just poor writing: you never really get an attachment to them besides the typical MMF trio protagonist team that's presented. About halfway through the first season: this tournament arc gets abruptly interrupted and replaced with a generic ""apocalypse"" arc where you begin to lose track of what the original goal was, who should be the main antagonist and who the main protagonist is supposed to be (this isn't in a good way btw). I'd also like to mention the power scaling in this anime is extremely plot dependent. Seemingly ""neck and neck"" fights early on in the anime become mere playground tussles as the stakes get higher and characters magically become magnitudes stronger than they were just a few episodes ago. The best way I can describe this is to imagine DBZ but the Frieza and cell arc occur side by side in a single episode. Now with that in mind: I wouldn't necessarily call this a bad anime, just a very forgettable one. The animation is fantastic and it's got a nice bit of humor tossed into it; the soundtrack is pretty solid as well! I'd probably recommend putting this on as background noise and catching 50% of what's going on rather than giving your undivided attention to it.",6 "I make it short: The show is enjoyable overall, acting is good and the story is interesting. There are some pacing issues though, as well as some ridiculous problems of ""power levels"" regarding the protagonists and elements already established in the MCU before. Talking about those ""power levels"", some are just weird story wise and don't make sense to me, while others are blatantly unnecessary wokeness; If you enjoy seeing men getting handled more or less every time if they fight with a woman, and every single dude being either directly or ultimately controlled by a women, then you're in for a treat. This is not a rant on women not being capable of XYZ, but Marvel pushing this down my throat. Therefore 6 instead of 7/10.",6 "I haven't seen anything this bad in years. Hugely disappointed with the acting, the writing, and the plot. Literally nothing was noteworthy. After Knives Out I had high expectations, so this was embarrassing. Another distracting element was that it was set during a pandemic. This was unnecessary and already out of touch in 2023. Knives Out felt timeless, like an Agatha Christie novel. I don't know if Netflix struggles with timing, but I haven't seen any film made by Netflix that has figured out writing or stride. Every line was misplaced, the music was melodramatic, the emotions were overdrawn. Terrible, terrible movie.",1 "Captain America: Civil War is directed by both Anthony and Joe Russo and is a sequel to 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier, also directed by the Russo brothers. After an accident occurred while the new Avengers were on the hunt for Crossbones, the United States government proposes that the Avengers be government controlled. Captain America disagrees with the idea, and Iron Man is all for it. This conflict in decision begins to rip the Avengers apart, starting a civil war. I was really on the edge over Captain America: Civil War. I loved both the previous two Captain America movies, and the two Avengers installments as well. Walking out of the theater, I got all I had wanted and more. Captain America: Civil War is now my favorite Marvel film to date. I loved everything about it, and was so happy to see just how amazingly well everything worked out. The Russo brothers did absolutely amazing with this movie. Not only are all of the characters flawlessly well rounded, but the direction and script are fantastic as well. The direction perfectly captured all of the action throughout the film, and was handled very nicely. Many wide shots were used, and the action was without shaky cam or quick cuts. All of the dialogue was near flawless as well. The audience is very subtly introduced to the conflict between Captain America and Iron Man, and dives deeper into it as the film progresses. The points presented by both sides are both right in there own ways, and that adds so much to this movie. The characters in Civil War are as close to perfect as it gets. I cared for every character in the film, whether they be a superhero or not. Black Panther's introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe was great, and I can't wait for his solo film in 2018. Spiderman in this film is, in my opinion, the best on screen Spiderman of all time. I like Tom Holland as the web head a bit better than Tobey Maguire, and way better than Andrew Garfield. His suit was great, and he delivered a lot of quips while fighting, just like the fans wanted. Lines such as ""You have the right to remain silent!"" or ""You have a metal arm? That's awesome, dude!"" made Spiderman near perfect in this movie. I loved the characters of both Spiderman and Black Panther. Besides the fact of the new characters, the Russo brothers also went deeper into the characters that we've already seen. Vision was given a lot more depth through Civil War, as was Scarlet Witch. The relationship between the two was great, and was given the attention it deserved. Both Hawkeye and Black Widow got a lot of screen time, and Hawkeye's relationship with Scarlet Witch, which he inspired to become an Avenger at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), was explored more deeply, and played off very well. Black Widow's internal conflict with which team she truly supported was shown neatly, however not distracting from the main plot. Both Iron Man and Captain America were fleshed out much more than they have been before, despite how long the two have been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Their struggles with each other was astounding at how well it was used. Falcon and War Machine were both given a lot more attention than they have been before, and that worked amazingly. As seen in the trailer, War Machine gets injured, and that gave his character a lot more depth. Falcon's friendship with Captain America was expressed more heavily, now that they know each other better. Cap's relationship with Bucky was also incredible. The exploration dealt to Bucky's character was high, and appreciated very much. And, without spoiling anything, Ant Man's character was, simply put, flawless all throughout Civil War. All of the acting was great as well. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Sebastian Stan, Chadwick Boseman, Jeremy Renner, Tom Holland, Paul Rudd, William Hurt, and Daniel Bruhl all did fantastic. Each performance was unique in its own way, and all of the characters were played greatly. Each actor's portrayal of his or her character was amazing, and each and every character was given the depth they deserved. Overall, Captain America: Civil War is my favorite Marvel movie to date, and my second favorite comic book movie, topped only by The Dark Knight (2008). The Russo brothers have made a true masterpiece of a film, heightening all expectations for Avengers: Infinity War Parts I and II (2018-2019).",10 One of the best series I have watched. The compelling and believable characters in this setting makes this a phenomenal show. There are plentiful surprises and moments that make your heart melt. Each death and each character that we root for teaches us that bad things can happen to good people.,9 "It seems like they tried everything to save as much money as possible. Only a couple hundred soldiers can be seen on the beach. This is very inaccurate and I don't understand why they felt like they were going to get away with this. Moreover, the acting is also very poor and the movie has zero memorable characters.",1 "Filmed in British Columbia, I recognize the same trees from The 100. Flashback scenes are rather trite. The robot is a guy in a funky suit that pays homage to all the wrong Alien movies. Even the music is bland.",5 "Acting, setting, atmosphere and story was absolutely top notch as per the other seasons. The con I mentioned... too many references and placements for Coke (along with some others). Netflix has the money coming in from their network and shouldn't need to pander to other corporations! One other tiny negative. Star Wars was still Star Wars in the 80s!",9 "OK, let's start by saying I'm full of admiration for film makers and the work involved in putting together something like this. But it was just too long, too convoluted and too lacking in empathy for me. To start with, why is there a constant soundtrack of electronic lift music? And why is it necessary to add explosion sound effects every time someone mentions ""bomb"" or ""atomic""? And stars every time ""universe"" or ""gravity"" are mentioned? In combination with the usual muffled speech, I ended up straining to catch the dialogue. Secondly, so many names are mentioned, it becomes near impossible to follow the last hour or so of the movie, during the hearing/tribunal, shot alternately in b&w and colour. I couldn't remember which came first historically, and gave up trying to keep track. I didn't empathise at all with Oppenheimer. In fact, he seems to have been as bit of a pain. Emily Blunt did her best as his wife, bless her. The actors trying to appear like physicists looked a bit uncomfortable. I would suggest watching this movie until the bomb test, then going for an ice cream and returning for the last 10 minutes. You won't have missed anything!",2 "The Fabelmans is bland, lacklustre, shallow, flat, & phony, with very long takes. Right from the start you're wondering why these scenes aren't edited. And as for the story content, I found myself saying, 'As if!', every couple of minutes. Poor Michelle Williams (Manchester By The Sea), directed here so that she looks like she can't act. This is trowelled-on Americana, initially from the 50s (big fin cars). It's shows a hermetically sealed life in a large Jewish family, sidelining the girls in the family completely, as the young lad (Spielberg) spends his time and money on improved movie equipment. This allows for a great deal of 'tech talk'. No doubt it eventually moves on from the 60s, but so slowly, I'll never know.",1 "You will watch weak characters. Weak script. With a nice scenary and music (same of GoT). They want this second Daenerys support all the weight of the show, and it's impossible. The only character i admired a bit was Daemon, buuuuut when i finished chapter 2 i thought he was a coward. What a bluff... That works the same for books in real life (i am not talking about got now). If your history (not talking about narrative style) is weak... and your characters are also weak... Remember, the scenary (dragons, world, clothing) is good. So, they can try to cheat you. And also you can watch one or two decent scenes per chapter. But don't forget about characters and narration.",5 "I've seen series one and two. Series one was well-written and entertaining. Series two was really annoying and stupid because they tried to make the threat too absurd. If the writing was better, it could've been good but instead it was annoying and preachy and boring and repetitive and stupid. I'd recommend watching series one and then stopping.",8 "I know I'm not alone, but I have to state again, that at this point in time, I have not read (nor listened) to any of the (audio) books. And that includes Harry Potter of course. Having said all that, I'm only settting the stage so you know that I can't compare this to any of the source material. Now this has a few things in it, that are callbacks to the first movie and we do get familiar characters back with their quirks. There's also new characters of course and for some it may feel convoluted. But this is just a fun ride and I can see that this is just a side step or just a filler like another reviewer stated to get to the next movies. You know introduce a few things that probably will pay off along the road. Technically this really looks good. Story and character wise there is not much happening though. Not anything note- or new(s)-worthy that is. Still decent and entertaining and isn't that what this all is about? (No?)",6 "Not enough people are talking about Russian Doll, this hidden gem has largely flew under the radar. This show is brilliant, I binged watch 6 episodes in a row, I'm just so invested in the world and why it's happening and our two main characters who are great they have really good chemistry and work really well. Man I can't wait for season 2. I didn't think I was gonna like this as much as I do going into it, but it's genuinely an awesome show and a great premise.",9 Some scenes were really cool but I found myself getting a bit confused about the story sometimes. Also did I miss some of the backstories or what?,6 "I love Steve Martin. I do, I do, I do. But I have to say, Martin Short is the funniest person on the planet and I already love this TV show. I don't even care about true crime podcasts. I think they're weird and that morbid fascination is not healthy. Also, I'm too old to know who Selena Gomez is. But I do like detective stories and this one is original and laugh out loud funny. But this show is that good. Watch it.",10 "So netflix have made a movie in Bangladesh/Dakar and the first chance people get is to get totally wound up on the location, culture etc. Get over yourselves and comment on the films merits or lack of. My only observation are that the police/ army have the aim of Imperial Stormtroupers. And the tactical awarness of U.S Swat teams. Peace out.",5 """You wanna be a war machine? Take your best shot!"" The second movie in superhero franchises often is fantastic. X-Men 2, Spider-Man 2, Batman Returns, and The Dark Knight all managed to improve over their pretty solid predecessors. While Iron Man 2 can't quite join those movies by improving over the excellent Iron Man, it's still an enjoyable movie in it's own right. It may not be quite as consistently entertaining as the first movie, but Iron Man 2 boasts increased star power with the inclusion of Cheadle, Johansson, Rourke, and Rockwell, as well as even more special effects wizardry than its predecessor. The increased focus on the expanded cast and even more elaborate action scenes comes at the expense of some of the humor and perfect story flow that made the first movie so darn great, but Iron Man fans won't be very disappointed with this new movie, I can guarantee you. Iron Man 2 is flashy, fun, and another fine comic book movie.",6 "Overlong and very boring, I nearly fell asleep, I literally had to prod my eyes open with matchsticks, the film could have been half this duration. There's a much better film, a documentary called ""To End All War: Oppenheimer & the Atomic Bomb"" which is gripping and with real footage. What a disappointment I'd been waiting all year for this.

What a disappointment I'd been waiting all year for this.",2 "Started out interesting with some good fight scenes, but started getting ""preachy"" and boring. Then it turned into a racial project by Disney. ""I never knew a black man could be Captain America!"" Really! Why couldn't it just be about the falcon becoming Captain America and not throw the race card in there. I get they are making it about the times and what's going on in the world, but I want to escape from the world and enjoy something without an agenda. That being said, the entire series is not like this....just the last few episodes. So this series was just alright.",6 "But it could improve. Nice fight scenes, and some potential.",7 One of the best shows that i ever watched. Loved it.,10 "Summary: This isn't the fun, light-hearted fantasy the marketing would have you believe. It is instead a clunky film that is nearly all social commentary. In fact, the plot and protagonist of the film is the patriarchy and more specifically men. The result is a sexist film that can be good at times but frustrating for many viewers. The movie may even be damaging to woman (explanation below). Full Review: I will justify my summary above but I want to first share that the film has a tremendous amount of potential and that I will be looking forward to a sequel should it come out. The cast is excellent. Gosling absolutely steals the show and is clearly having a ton of fun. Robbie is also a gem and is the quintessential Barbie. They could not have picked a better cast. The set design was fun and probably exactly what you would hope for in a Barbie film. The tempo was great, the cameos were fun, the movie was appropriately self-aware, the humor generally landed well. It's probably not a kids movie and I think that I wouldn't want my kids to attend it do to the adult humor and the social commentary bit. I think that for the right audiences the social commentary might elicit some good discussions and may be interesting to some. I don't mind social commentary but I'd prefer to know that its in the film before I go. If I do go see a movie with social commentary its not generally as clunky as the movie Barbie is. For example, after the movie I asked several people what they thought was the message of the movie and no one person had the same answer. Surely the message centers around feminism or woman's empowerment. These are themes that generally everyone can get behind but the movie isn't clear on specifics. Does the movie intend to convey that Barbie is problematic as a doll or symbol? Is the movie suggesting the patriarchy is a problem? Is it that woman can do anything they put their mind to it? Is it saying the diversity is important? Basically... the movie fails to pinpoint what exactly it is trying to comment on. Generally if you go see a movie that is intended to be social commentary then you should come out of it with thought provoking questions and ideas. It should be a movie that ""flips the script"" so that if you are on the opposite side of an issue you become more aware/informed after watching the movie. Unfortunately Barbie doesn't do this. Barbie lives in a fantasy world but the real world n the film is also a fantasy. She doesn't face any real world or realistic dilemma causing us to evaluate the gender systems we have in place. Even the times Barbie is subjected to discrimination or sexism (which is fairly constant) these times are not realistic or believable. Thus the commentary comes off as preachy and anecdotal. Barbie is also not a role model or a hero in the movie. It's weird watching a movie that is written to empower woman while also featuring a weak and sexist female lead. The film begins with Barbie dismissing men and being biased towards woman. I don't want to leave any spoilers but.... SEMI-SPOILER... the movie ends with things being unequal between the sexes. As a result the film almost suggests that the sexes shouldn't be treated equally. In other words, its clear Barbie and Barbie the movie believes females are the superior gender. Moreover, Barbie is not a strong and powerful woman. We are told in the movie that Barbie is an inspiration to woman fairly constantly. Normally I would agree. But the Barbie in this movie is depicted as uncapable and weak. She is egocentric and motivated by a desire to be beautiful. In fact, the entire plot kicks off because she finds cellulite on her legs and it later revolves around her self-centered interests to maintain power in her community. Its hard to relate or feel sympathetic under these circumstances and if anything the plot is an indictment on woman's (and societies) overuse of beauty and sexuality. As Barbie trots along her path she doesn't overcome anything on her own and she doesn't change as a person. In fact, everything she ""accomplishes"" is because someone told her what to do or because someone else did something for her. Not one time can I recall did Barbie accomplish something on her own or reevaluate her positions. By the end of the movie she is still the same problematic Barbie we were first introduced to. This is an interesting problem because it means that Ken, the movie's antagonist is actually the hero of the film. He is the only one in the film that overcomes adversity and is the only one in the film who grows and changes. We don't root for Ken, of course, but if you spend a few minutes thinking about his character arch you will realize he is actually the victim and the hero of the movie. This is what I meant by saying it is a clunky film - it has too many mixed messages, unexplored and unrealistic themes, and watered down but constant social commentary. Then add the fact that the social commentary expressed in the film is of a serious issue but is juxtaposed with a lighthearted comedic tone. Then there is the problem with the movie's portrayal of men and specifically Ken. First, lets acknowledge how woman have been poorly portrayed in past by depicting them as weak and needing men. We can agree its inappropriate - so its confusing as to why the film does the same thing, except to men. Ken is portrayed as inferior to Barbie in every way when the appropriate thing to do would be highlight the strengths in both genders. A counter argument people may make is, ""Dude, its just a movie about a doll and its a fantasy land."" I get it, its not real. But the problem is the movie depicts men as inferior and stupid in both the fantasy and real world. In fact, there is little distinction between the men in both worlds. On the other hand, the woman in the real world are depicted more genuinely and certainly more intelligently. This leads me to conclude that the writers likely do have a problem with men even if they were trying to be humorous. In fact, there is a whole subplot with an all male corporate board that seems to be a non-sequitur. It seems its only purpose in the film was to dump on men or, in the alternative, the whole subplot was intended to be something intelligent but ended up being too poorly conceived to be meaningful in any way. So, I have to say the film is disappointing and problematic in so many ways. But the potential is huge. I would look forward to a sequel but they have to drop the social commentary or, in the alternative, make a more cohesive movie with less mixed signals. Barbie should demonstrate why she is so amazing and earn her place at the top. We don't see why she is special or see her become the hero in her own movie. I expected to see a movie about a powerful woman who also likes to have fun. What I got instead was a bait and switch.",5 "If you saw the previews, you saw the movie. I was not impressed at all by this film. It can't compare to Dark City which was a much better film. Keannu still can't act to save his life. The ending was lame. "" True Love"" bringing back Keannu from the dead? Pure Garbage. A serious waste of money in making this film.",2 "-It captures your attention right from the start and doesn't let it go until the end. -Characters are very well built up and we feel for them. -Gore moments are so well built up that you'll find your self touching your face in ouch and feel the pain of ",9 "Look, this is an Ok movie, that's it. Its not fantastic and its not the worst movie ever made. All of the 1-Star reviews here just want to hate so much, they dont know what to do with themself. Like, really, a 1? The movie was THAT bad, it was the worst movie ever made? Like, no. Obviously not. The movie is long, too long, and there's plotholes and everything, but whatever. Its fine.",6 "This is one of the worst movies ever. I never thought Kareena could act so bad! Shahid will never be a man, he'll always remain a boy, no matter how often he tries to grow a beard. The boy has never acted. The leads lack chemistry. The supporting characters are annoying big time! This is one sick waste of time and those pathetic critics who are praising it! Shame on them! It's as bad (if not worse) than Bull Bulaiyya. How could the director think that this will be called a good movie? The plot is obviously another Bollywood ripoff. Kareena should win worst actress for this. The songs are better forgotten. Why only the songs, the whole stupid film is better forgotten.",1 "To summarize this series without spoiling it, take The X-Men, Watchmen, and add a Guillermo Del Toro knockoff, and you get this series. It's interesting enough I suppose, but anyone wishing to chart new ground in the superhero/science fiction genre should look elsewhere.",3 Really loved the raw feel. Was a little bit annoyed by certain musical choices and the stabbing portion could have been done better. Closer to 7 than a 9.,8 "Hilarious, fun, poignant, smart, and satirical. As a middle-aged mother of 4, I related to Gloria SO MUCH. And I cried. Boy did I cry. Much like Everyone Everywhere All At Once, I felt SEEN. For all the critics of the movie, my response is, 1. (Quoting Jack Nicholson) YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH, and 2. ITS SATIRE, FOLKS! But like most satire, it flies over the heads of many. Many stereotypes are addressed in an obvious way, but others are subtle. Not going because you don't want to support what you've heard is a political ""side"", well, that's just ridiculous. Give yourself more credit than that.",10 This is an absolute insult to the people of Bangladesh....,1 "This is the perfect definition of what a 5/10 movie is. Without delving into the strange flow of the editing area (many scenes felt abruptly interrupted or strangely extended, creating awkward temporary spaces with a sense of unjustification), and acknowledging the good level of performance (which with a cast like the one in this film, it's not a surprise: Bale and Riseborough were particularly good), the film seems to be failing in its fundamentals: telling a self-sufficient story in a way that connects with the viewer and, above all, reveals its substance and significance. But the result is a kind of Hollywood-commissioned pamphlet collage that, while it strives to be original and ""artsy"" and meaningful, it doesn't get to cross the boundaries of the naive, almost offensively condescending (it's sometimes too much, but too much evident) and trivial. Aesthetically it's fine, but the fundamental, the story, seems to be prey of this era.",5 "I liked the first episode. It has decent atmosthere, good actors and decorations, however, the score is not honest. TV-Shows and movies based on games become more and more popular, unfortunately, there's not many good of them. Quite the opposite, most of them are mediocre or even a disaster: Resident Evil, Halo, Uncharted - all of them were in the shadow of originals because of how bad they were, compared to the games. Now, here comes The Last of Us and immedietly becomes one of the highest rated TV-Show of all times. Really? How low the industry has fallen if that it's enough to make a decent episode of TV-Show and get Breaking Bad - level ratings just for not screwing up? Don't get me wrong, it is enjoyable and I will watch the rest of it out of curiosity, but 9,5/10? -That's rating of the The Last of Us game, not a TV-Show. Not yet, at least.",7 "OK, Bridge Of Spies. Long (141 mins) and boring spy thriller with the usual performance from Tom Hanks (James Donovan) who's face throughout the middle of the movie looks like a carrot due to the the bad makeup and in the other half has the usual-suspect- grimace if he is having a poo because of too much effort trying to convince us with his tricks in a particular scene. The story is ...hm ""based on a true story"" which can't save it from superficiality. Mark Rylance who plays Rudolf Abel is much more interesting/convincing as an actor but also struggle in the adapted screenplay so whoever did it better not do it again.The Iron Curtain/Berlin Wall is very much Hollywood and you have seen it in many other movies so you are already prepared for it and will not surprise you. At all. It's all a happy ending at the end so everyone's happy apart from me cause it was a waste of time.",4 "(Flash Review) Just because this is Tarantino and there are several A-List actors in this doesn't default it to an award winning film. It had some really good and tension-built moments, great style, distinctive camera movement and a huge homage to lesser known classic films and songs...B-Side songs from popular artists as well such as the Rolling Stones. Yet it lacked character and scene building dialog that he is so wonderful at writing. Many story threads didn't feel cohesive and the editing and pacing were uneven. It was intriguing but not overly memorable like his early film catalog. Maybe I shouldn't have gone into this completely cold; reading nothing about it...? I had to read reviews to figure out that Charles Manson's group/cult played a big part in the story. Overall, this was a satisfying while watching but at the end left me empty.",6 Story line is good but not something new. Screen play little slow at times. Acting is not that great.,5 "The movie just doesn't seem to know what genre it is. If you step onto a boat, it doesn't suddenly turn into a submarine or a bus, but this movie does. It starts out so improbable that it's funny, then gets mean, vicious, violent, tragic and depressing. Others have said that it's an allegory about the class differences between the haves and have-nots. My eyeballs roll at this. So what! Life isn't fair. That is no excuse for one-dimensional characters. A family of grifters that is too stupid to succeed at anything somehow manages to cleverly con its way into the lives of a wealthy family. Of course, this must end somehow or there'd be no tension. You know something is going to eventually happen as the unexpected fortune of the poor family cannot continue, but why does it have to end in such gratuitous violence? What kind of person likes watching that? It makes you feel guilty about laughing during the comedic sections earlier in the movie.",5 "As an action movie, it is OK. Visual effects, extreme cinematography, dynamic montage, dozens of explosions, hundreds of ammo fired and so on. But as a comedy, it is hopeless. Dull dialogs, probably intended to be funny, but they aren't - they are just stupid. There were only few moments in the movie which caused me to laugh, but it's not enough to call it comedy - actually, this amount of humor is typical rather for action movies (like ""Lethal Weapon"", or even ""Boondock Saints""), but these movies don't claim to be comedies. This movie is Action - and nothing more. Bad humor, no convincing plot, no suspense. So, if you liked ""Rambo"" and ""Commando"", you will probably enjoy this movie. But if you want watch something funny, rather avoid this movie.",2 "Whatever the story lacks, Computer CGI compensates.",4 "You don't have to love ""The Big Short"" the book to hate ""The Big Short"" the movie, but it helps. The book is about people. Most of Michael Lewis's books tell the same story about outsiders who go against conventional wisdom. His thesis is that to go against the tide, you must be an abnormal person. His books tell the story of their abnormality. The financial world is just the background. In other books, he has used baseball as the background. Billy Beane in ""Moneyball"", for example. The movie makers invert the emphasis and makes the financial background the foreground and makes the book's fascinating characters little more than decoration. The book is mostly about Mike Burry and explains how he always though of himself as different because of his glass eye, but it turns out that it was really because he had Asperger's Syndrome, which isn't even mentioned in the movie. Instead, we get Christian Bale walking around in bare feet and playing loud music in what is surely one of the worst written characters and shoddiest performances ever to be seen in a major movie. It was just painful to watch and has no resemblance to the Mike Burry of the book They couldn't even be bothered to give him a glass eye, which is the dominant part of his appearance. The reason for the inversion is obvious - so that left wing Hollywood could make an attack on their favorite target, big business. While they got some things right, they selectively omitted a lot. Like how pressure from left-winger politicians like Barney Frank and Mario Cuomo lit the match on the melt down by forcing banks so abandon sound lending practices and give loans poor people who would never be able to pay them back. Or how many state governments tried to reign in subprime lending but were attacked by do-gooder housing advocates and couldn't get legislation passed. Or how the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae used same do-gooder housing advocates to prevent any oversight and allow them to run wild buying subprime securities with losses insured by taxpayer money. Or how academic computer quant nerds told Wall Street that they could sell the subprime securities with virtually no risks. Or how most of the subprime money went, not to first mortgages, but to speculators and refi's, greedy homeowners who used the money to live beyond their means. Most of all, they ignore the fact that the little band of heroes were actually throwing fuel on the fire by buying the credit default swaps. Each credit default swap equaled the creation of thousands of new toxic mortgages. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. If you want to see a good movie about the financial crisis, try ""Margin Call"".",2 "I wonder what cops or people living in *really* rough neighborhoods would say about this movie? In working on documentaries, I've been on police patrols and have seen my share of domestic stabbings, cop shootings and drug busts, and to me this movie is some smart-*ss white boy's comic-book imagination of ""what it's like out there on the streets"". So, I can understand why students at state universities thought this was the coolest movie around when it came out. Also, if you haven't seen a lot of esoteric and quality cinema, Tarentino may seem like some sort of movie-making genius. But if you've seen movies like *Kiss Me Deadly* or practically anything by Godard, you'll see that QT cuts and pastes a lot. When Pulp Fiction enthusiasts start to debate their theories about why there was an inner light in the briefcase at the diner, I just have to say that it's just an image ripped off from a movie made well before they were born, called *Kiss Me Deadly*. If you've seen the seedier and dangerous side of life, the movie is lame. If you're a classic movie devotee, this movie is a rip-off. But if you haven't been exposed to much, you may enjoy this film.",4 "Very poorly written, cardboard characters and ditto background. Cavill is grunting his way through his handful of lines. The only one who impressed me somewhat at times was Anya Chalotra (Yen). Fot the rest this is yet another mash of second-rate fantasy with pointy-eared elves. Tolkien is spinning in his grave.",3 "A film that keeps your attention, with all the skullduggery and that's just the American government! As always Cruise is watchable, and gives his all.",7 "You were supposed to make Marvel great again. After Wandavision, after FATWS, I was hoping against hope that we may yet get something good. Instead... Thanks for introducing new, nonsensical overlords of all. Thanks for making all past and future MCU stories completely irrelevant. Determinism as a concept is a fun idea. But having it as a base for all MCU now? Thanks, but no thanks. Two stars are for Tom alone, who is always a great actor.",2 "I've been a long time IMDB lurker, and occasional rater, but I've never felt compelled to write a review as much as I have for this show. I have never been so underwhelmed and mildly irritated at something that the great users of IMDB have rated above an 8. This leads me to believe there is most likely something fishy going on here in the ratings/reviews, as this show seems like it should be a 5-6 at best for the 'true' IMDB rating. If a good chunk of these ratings and reviews aren't fake / paid for / bots, color me mega-shocked at the sudden shift of the IMDB populace and its quintessential user's voice. As for the show, the main character is unlikable, as are almost all the characters. Perhaps the psychologist mother-figure or the homeless man are the most human characters in the whole show, but even they are either too jarring, don't have enough redeeming qualities, or lack screen time to make a dent in the subpar ""mystery"" that is Russian Doll. The show is repetitive and gets boring quickly. I was waiting for a interesting twist, elevation of the stakes, or even issues that needed to be resolved that didn't feel so forced. None of those came, and it's safe to say I regret watching the whole series through. If this was created by some Netflix cookie-cutter / algorithmic process, they need to rethink their formulas. I hope the rating mess is a one-off thing, and that IMDB ratings don't get taken over by marketing agencies and paid bots. This is a sad day for the users who rely on IMDB ratings for both suggestions and also as a filter for the sake of efficient media consumption. Please @IMDB, at least look into some of these rave 10/10 and 9/10 reviews to ensure the integrity of your rating system.",2 "I started to watch 24 3 years ago, beginning with episode 12 season 4. At first, I thought it is ( another action series). By the end of this episode, I was a great fan and i completed the season in no time. When I finished it, I bought it and re-watched it. Then I bought the whole package. Although I didn't watch all seasons, I admit that this show acts as cocaine. I ONLY HATE WHEN THEY SHOW ALL ARABS LIKE TERRORISTS. The acting is perfect, But ,for god-sake, aren't there any other terrorists other than Arabs in this world? this makes the show story quiet boring. However, If you want to enjoy a good show , I definitely recommend 24",10 "Marvel's new Daredevil series on Netflix gets it right by at least this long time Daredevil fan, and for me, the validation is in the 'Special Thanks' section of the ending credits of each episode. There the series gives a nod to a stellar cast of writers and artists who helped mold Daredevil comics over the years, and whose vision has well informed and inspired this spectacular series. Not only is this series dedicated to great television, but to paying respect to the artistic integrity that many comic books fans hold so highly. Yes I'm a longtime Daredevil comic book fan, so the names listed in the credits is more than familiar, giving special thanks to Brian Michael Bendis, Gene Colan, Klaus Jansen, Alex Maleev, David Mazzucchelli, Roger McKenzie, Frank Miller, John Romita Jr., John Romita Sr, Joe Orlando, Archie Godwin, George Tuska (and although not mentioned in this list, DD creator Stan Lee, and comic writers Joe Quesada and Jeph Loeb are credited as well). I've seen the first 6 episodes already, and every time this frame of the credits plays, my mind correlates the details from the episodes with the comic books that inspired them. So many details, let's just take a quick tour. Of course there is the original Stan Lee origin, but specifically the show get's it big art direction push from the Frank Miller / John Romita Jr. Daredevil: The Man Without Fear mini series from the 1990's, which inspires much of the Netflix series' visual details and style of narrative. The costume Matt wears with the black mask was the vision of this pre-costume tale. Add to this the feeling of urban realism from the epic Miller / David Mazzucchelli Daredevil: Born Again series, and I was hooked. There's the street grit which began in the 1970's Gene Colon days and was perfected in the Frank Miller / Klaus Jansen in the 1980's, the run of Daredevil that revolutionized comic books. And there are the politics, corruption, and styling of the Bendis / Maleev comic book run of the 2000's. TO break up the grim of dark, the series gives us some light moments with humor inspired by happy go lucky moments of Foggy and Karen remind me of both the carefree days of the Stan Lee, but also the mini series Daredevil: Yellow by Jeph Loeb (who is also a producer of the Netflix series). And the Wilson Fisk and Vanessa plot finds inspiration in the best of both Miller and Bendis. As for the superhero action, the series does not disappoint. The filming and choreography of the fight scenes of Daredevil is stunning, using a mix of both tight details of fists and impacts, along with long single-take shots, in which punch after punch is stylized with a realism that is not often seen in superhero films. Daredevil barely makes it through each fight, sometimes against a dozen men, who don't stay down. The fight scenes remind you of a long boxing match, where both fighters can barely stand, a fitting nod to Daredevil's boxer father, and to the meticulously choreographed fight scenes from the comic books, with visual queues from Miller / Janson / Mazzucchelli standing out in my mind. Marvel's Netflix Daredevil has a hit on their their hands, I can't wait to binge watch the rest of the episodes, and I'm already expected there will be a season 2. The direction and writing is a cut above the usual from average superhero films, and is not only going to win comic book fans, but the growing audience of people who love the film superhero genre. If you haven't watched it, you should now. Once you do, comic book fan or not, you will understand what fans of Daredevil experienced in this heroes long history.",9 "The CGI was impressive, providing some beautiful cinematography and lighting to the characters. The Hans Zimmer score - also beautiful however most of it was recycled for the original. Much like the score, the plot was great as we'll but recycled from the original. I liked how some minor characters were fleshed out a little more, eg Sarabi and Shenzi. Beyoncé voiced Nala and god was it distracting. The star studded cast didn't really distract me as all of them were voice actors but Beyoncé was just Beyoncé. She wasn't trying to be Nala. I wish they had got a smaller African actress to play her part as I feel like that would've been so much more authentic. The songs were good apart from Can You Feel The Love Tonight, it just felt more like a Top 40 pop hit than an Elton John classic for the movie.",4 "Zuerst sei gesagt, daß ich weder die literarische, noch die spielerische Vorlage kenne, ich kann also nur den für mich persönlich geltenden Unterhaltungswert der reinen Show kritisieren. Und hier muß sich diese Serie, da kommt sie nicht dran vorbei, an Game of Thrones messen lassen. Warum? Es sind beides Fantasy-Serien, produziert von Studios mit hohem finanziellen Einsatz. Und da muß ich leider sagen, stinkt The Witcher gewaltig gegen GoT ab. Ich bin jetzt bei Folge vier und die wirre Erzählweise, die zig Personen und Orte, mit denen man von Anfang an konfrontiert wird, lassen mich immer wieder abschweifen, die Serie pausieren und mich nebenher was anderes machen. Es will sich keine Spannung einstellen, was vermutlich auch der Konzeption des Monster of the Week liegt, welches durch einige irgendwie planlos wirkende rote Fäden aufgelockert werden soll. Die Settings und Kulissen variieren sehr stark von extrem billig wirkender CGI, über halbherzige Kulissen hin zu manchmal liebevoll gestalteten Orten, sind aber idR einfach nur schwach. Die schauspielerischen Leistungen sind ziemlich mittelmäßig und reißen einen auch nicht mit. Die Handlungsstränge sind chaotisch, die Welt blaß und die gezeigte Gewalt bzw Sexualität einfach nur der beklagenswerte Versuch, dem ganzen den nötigen infantilen Pepp zu geben, den der schwache Aufguß braucht, um überhaupt bei irgendwem anzukommen.",1 "This show reminds me of budget youth series I would watch on telly after school. It's a fantasy universe that's very serious and profound with a lot at stake all the time, typical adolescent prententiousness (even though the main character is an adult woman). It's (rather refeshingly) free of any irony. So it's a nice guilty pleasure with simple racism themes with clear-cut good and bad people and our heroes lounging around in libraries and big houses reading books older than USA itself (the All Souls Trilogy is an American romantic view on Brits after all). Ah, the pleasures of the privileged... Sociologically, it's interesting to se the white American middle class woman's fantasy to be smitten by an immortal British vampire, break free of her boring settler life and discover her European roots and true chaotic self, the witch within.",7 "Amazon has put out some really bad stuff lately but this is by far the worst. The characters are extremely flat and unlikable and it drags on to the point of frustration. I am not part of the short attention span generation as referenced in another review, I often enjoy shows that build over time but this is not that. My generation can remember a time when Nicole Kidman still looked human, it's seriously ridiculous at this point. I guess this is why Amazon had to start charging for ad free viewing in order to pay for her, bad investment to say the least. There is zero chemistry between her & husband and she plays the same insufferable character as always. Nothing redeeming or worth watching-waste of time invested in the first 5 episodes. Only gave it a 2 star because the scenery & atmosphere shots were decent.",2 "This movie was the first time I've actually thought ""I want my two hours back"". I was expecting it to be at least decent on the gushing reviews but in my opinion it was terrible. Disney romances had more chemistry than the relationship between Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga's characters. I found it really hard to care about them and their relationship. Ally's rise to fame was uninteresting, the dialogue was awkward, melodramatic and half the time incoherent, and to be honest the soundtrack was mediocre. By the end I was just waiting for Jackson's inevitable downfall and man, did it feel really poorly done. It just felt like a really soulless way to end the movie and the character you're supposed to care about. I know this most likely sounds cynical but I'm usually very positive when reviewing movies, I just genuinely don't understand how anyone likes this, let alone raves about it. Two stars instead of one though for the dog, lady gaga's brown hair, Jack's guitar and I did sometimes like the gritty tone of parts of the movie. I just wish I found it anything other than tear jerkingly dull.",2 "An ""adaptation"" of a ride at Disneyland seemed like kind of a flimsy idea, so I'm not entirely surprised that this overblown entry in the 2003 summer movie season isn't all that good. Johnny Depp stars as Jack Sparrow, a humorously goofy pirate who walks with a constant, drunken swagger. Depp, as always, gives a fun and eccentric performance and gets some great lines in, but unfortunately he's the only thing worth remembering about this movie. The story and all the other characters are a total snooze. Jack is trying to get his ship, the Black Pearl, back from a group of skeletal ghost pirates (led by a hammy Geoffrey Rush) who have kidnapped the beautiful Elizabeth Swann (Winona Ryder look-alike Keira Knightley) in order to use her blood to bring them back to life. Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) is in love with Elizabeth, so he teams up with Sparrow. Bloom, from the ""Lord Of The Rings"" movies and Knightley, from this year's great ""Bend It Like Beckham"" are both interesting actors, but the characters they're playing might as well be cardboard cutouts. There is lots of action and some twists in the story, but I found very little of it interesting. In fact, Johnny Depp's likable performance and one-liners were all that kept me awake through the ridiculous 2 hour, 15 minute running time. It's directed by Gore Verbinski, and I guess it shows he can direct a big summer movie, but it completely lacks the small-scale style and effectiveness of his earlier films like last year's eerie ""The Ring"" and especially the quirky, sadly underrated ""The Mexican"". And when the army of skeletons shows up in the end, all I could think about was how much cooler it was in ""Army Of Darkness"". I liked Depp's performance, but in a nutshell, the ride is better.",4 "Everything is so good.. From the music, humor and action scenes... Damn!! Can't wait for season 2",9 "Some tv shows are forgotten after they end, it has been almost 15 years and this show is still one of the highest viewed shows currently and for a reason, they made a book a month ago following in between episodes in the second and third seasons. I was thinking to myself awhile ago that star wars stood out when it was released because of the story and characters, I was wondering if there ever was going to be something that stood out like a new hope did. to me avatar is our generations star wars they even tried to make this into a movie with a high budget and even higher ranked director. the only other animated show I can remember that got a movie was the Simpsons and it did not have half the funding of the avatar movie any fans who don't read the book, I highly recommend it. any people looking to watch this show and see what people think, The writing and the stories are A+. from aangs first fight against zuko to the last one with ozai. the journey of aang and every character from beginning to end is perfect and beautiful. their is no version of this show that will be better than the original, it has become star wars in that sense. 10 out of 10 show",10 "I was expecting a lot of action, fighting, blood and tons if cliché phrases, and that's exactly what I got. Still, it wasn't a bad movie I enjoy Chris Hermsworths movies and I was greatly surprised by the Fight choreographies, which are great. Stunts people have done amazing in this one and the camera action is awesome and compelling. I got a bit bleh when they pulled the overused past trauma and savior complex of the main character, but the plot had to have a meaningful twist right? Overall is a good entertaining watch and I will definitely watch the second part when it comes out! ( a week if im not wrong).",7 "The show has pulled me in, but I find the lead actress to be painful to watch. I've seen wet socks with more character.",7 "This is a perfect movie if (A) you are a twelve year old boy, (B) you like to see stunt men ejected from explosions over and over and over again (C) you will watch anything with Johnny Depp, regardless. For more discriminating adults, the two and a half hours of noise and chaos unrelieved by any semblance of careful plotting becomes tedious. Depp is certainly fun for the first half hour, sending up the pirate image by coating his eyes with kohl and sending up the Disney image by acting a little less than wholesome, but after a while, one longs for more than people screaming with swords in their hands backed up with a bombastic music score that underscores the emptiness of the enterprise. One longs for the sense of heroic purpose and genuine derring-do exemplified by Errol Flynn/ Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, or Burt Lancaster in such grand adventures as The Sea Hawk, Captain Blood, Sinbad The Sailor or The Crimson Pirate, all recently released on vivid, family-oriented DVDs; Pirates From The Carribbean is cynical corporate entertainment, the humor ironic or tongue-in-cheek, and, though marketed as such, is really not for children unless they are so desensitized to blood and savagery from video games that nightmarish visions do not bother them.",4 "One of the finest and meticulously crafted and drafted movie in long time. The storyline , Narrative , Characters , Screenplay looks so apt as full credit to director and actors for syncing greatly into this bundle. Pure Craft , Exhibition of Amazing screenplay and dialogues.",9 "The books were wonderful to read, I red them several times, but the series is so well made I can say it. All the actors in there are so iquel to their persona in the book it is uncanny but in the good way! The story with Oxford atmosfere of mistery and old spirits and all the characters are exciting behond all. I can't wait to see the next sezon. I hope we see it soon!",10 "Just finished watching this let's say movie and I am here to tell you that this is an absolute failure for Hollywood and a life-time shame for Ben Affleck.The fabricated Oscar was even more terrible than the movie itself. The movie has too many historical mistakes (on purpose?) regarding the actual event and locations and also people of Iran. This is not a movie at all I am afraid, but just a destructive tabloid.It has a deeply troubling portrayal of the Iranian people and considers them as Arabs.The presence of First Lady Michelle Obama and the use of Hollywood as a destructive political tool is also a negative point for Hollywood and its century-long respects.",1 "OK, first of all to all the 1-star-raters: Seriously? Have you ever watched a bad movie? Watch Sharknado, then you know what an 1-star-movie ist.....even if you hate the adaptation, you have to take into account camera, editing, acting - everything. This is simply not a 1-star-movie. I do understand why some enthusiastic people give it a 10-star.rating, but again: seriously? There are some weaknesses in the series and what bothers me most is the inconsistency of quality. There are some really great scenes where everything fits: acting, camera, cinematogrphy, costumes, lighting....they are woth a 10. But then there are scene that really look like they have been taken from a cheap monster B-movie. The scene with the elven king in the caves....I thing most cosplayer would have gotten the better. There are some scenes that are just over the top tacky, especially when it comes to magic (the mages tower, Brokillon Forest). I have never read the books, only played witcher 3, so there was not much of a dissapointment hardcore fans felt. I think it was an above average show, but with flaws.",8 "I love this show. It's a pity that Season 5 and 6 felt a bit forced, but otherwise a brilliant show. Beautiful mix of characters. Very creative and funny storylines, plus brilliant acting. Love it!!!",8 "This drama is Powerful and Mesmerising, I really really enjoyed this drama. The story line was great, the season 1 and season 2 told a powerful story. I can't wait to watch the next season. It really worth to watch because it's good, Damm, I love it.",10 "Really? Oh common, really? There are tens and nines for this?! I mean, if it's the first series you've seen in your life and you liked, maybe 10 is understandeble but any other case, it's pure maddness. This is quite personal for me, as witcher books are my top3 favorite sagas which I read couple times. And even after season one, although I was somewhat dissapointed, I did say to myself, don't be too harsh, they are getting their feel of the material and the world, maybe it's too soon to judge. But season 2 is like this generic fantasy, created from random chunks of fantasy like elements, and then on top of it, there this witcher stamp or brand, only to increase the sells. There is nearly no witcher climate in this. All the complexity, duality of choices, many facets of the world, or those niuances which made books so unique and great, those things are not present. The characters are nothing like they were in books, their motives in series are often irrational and inconsistent. Theirs whole agendas are noting like they were portrayed. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not some fanatic purist, change from the original is not a blasphemy but, those changes have to have some meaning, some sense and reason why they were implemented. That's not the case with season 2. Although they had close to perfect source material, in their absolute vanity and arogance, they decided that yeahhh, maybe we have some great material here but we'll write some new stuff and it will be even better. Nahhhhh, they failed so hard that I'm amazed that this was even released in this state. There were glimpses of Witcher soul in season one but sadly there are none in season 2. All that was extrodinary in those books, unique and so entertaing and absorbing, all those things are non existent in season two. I'm really sad cause I geniuely love Witcher world, but season 2 is souless, witcherless and a total mess with irractional plot choices which never took place in the books.",4 "The second instalment of Venom is hilarious at times. The series appears to be getting into its stride, with the relationship between Brock and Venom really fleshed out and getting the balance right in this film. Tom Hardy and Stephen Graham are fantastic as always, although Woody Harrelson is rather one noted. The final action scenes are also a little drawn out, though a lot of credit should be given for keeping this film at a digestible 90 minutes.",5 "Sacred Games season 1 was one of the best thrillers I have seen and probably the best thrillers in India. Netflix and he makers Anurag Kashyap and Vikram Aditya Motwane did the awesome job. Performances are absolutely top notch. Be it Saif Ali Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Neeraj Kabi, Kubbra Sait. Every actors was convincing and on the top of their game. Need more series like this.",8 "Well there's a wasted 10 hours of my life that I'll never get back. The children spent most of their time being self-absorbed, narcissistic whining brats and not protecting anything in the world but themselves and their fragile yet over inflated egos. A group of ""outsiders"" that don't fit in-yes. Doing anything to make things better? No, just dwelling on their deeply flawed and disturbed personalities. Honestly, I'm surprised they could all squeeze in to a shot with the size of their over-inflated egos Needless to say, I'll find other more entertaining activities, like trimming my toenails. Nothing of any cinematic value here.",1 "If you want to make a movie about a foreign country, at least do the research. The production design of the movie completely sucks! The plot is also dumb.",4 "Not unlike Katherine Bigelow's 2008 decent, but overrated ""The Hurt Locker"", this is not a film that merited an Academy Award nomination, let alone a win in multiple categories, because it dealt with a very limited (in scope and human importance) specific time and place, rather than a universal and timeless theme. And so it will simply not enjoy or realize longevity in the must- have, always-want-to-watch DVD category. The fact that this was nominated for and did in fact win Academy Awards is testimony to the vapid mentality of the Hollywood establishment. All-too recognizable character actors and an all-too easy directorial style rend to reducing this movie to merely interesting for the discerning.",6 "The most political movie I have ever watched. It is so confusing that you can't be sure what its target audience is. It looks like they wanted it to be profound, but putting too much 'woke' content made it boring and cringe. As a woman, I honestly felt quite uncomfortable seeing how all the men in the movie were portrayed as stupid and shallow human beings. Overall, 4/10 for good acting, good music, and good costumes. I went to watch this movie as I heard it is not just an easy going entertaining one like everybody was expecting but touching and deep. I was curious. And I walked out of the cinema hall wishing that this movie was that simple as expected.",4 "This show was amazing season 1-2 weee. It was dramatic yet hilarious and a dash of love. Well that ended with its last season. They couldt have screwed it it up any worse. The ties to the Kennedy assassination was brilliant and mixed with aliens from another planet or dimension. They never answered the questions that were left open at the end of season two. The character of five was complex,endearing,witty,and unique. As the show goes on those characteristics became annoying and very easy. His mannerisms became annoying and cringe. It was such a shame that the 3rd season screwed up what was witty,funny,and very clever into a predictable mess.",6 "I was not expecting much from this. Most of the time a movie or TV series based on a video game is poorly done, capitalizing on the previous works in a cash grab. In this case I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are believable, and make you want to see where it goes. While I do believe that Henry Cavil's role is great, I feel that if he were not in it, it would still hold up. These turn out to be the best shows, when you don't expect much and get totally floored by how good it is. Now here is where I will get flamed. People compare this to GOT. I think, and this is just my lowly opinion, both are equally as good. From a business side, The Witchers total budget was about the same as one episode of GOT. Beware if you have small children, there are a few instances of nudity.",9 ". The sophisticated style and exclusive hidden world is used well and Reeves suits the lead role, but the action scenes are repetitive and uninspired, and overall, the film doesn't really engage.",4 "Movie is total waste of time. Actors are ok, but missing 'something', like- interesting plot.",1 "As far as Netflix content is concerned, this show is a must watch. Some of the episodes, particularly the first 3 seasons, are intriguing and worthy of it's fame. Howewer, things seemed to go a bit off-track in the last 2 seasons which I felt was a total letdown. Barring those few episodes, this is most certainly a compelling watch. And I would say it could reach greater heights if they stick to the original premise. Needless to say, it is well directed coupled with some commendable acting. You just need to check out the best episodes and then give it a shot.",7 "What story there is takes up a tiny percentage of the movie. Most of it is taken up with 2 CGI Venom fighting and smashing stuff up. I expect a lot more from a film featuring Tom Hardy, Woody Harrelson and Stephen Graham. A complete waste of your time.",1 "Blah blah blah ...... origin story! blah blah blah ...... Nazi situation! Blah blah blah unfunny satire! Blah blah blah in your ass action! Blah blah blah villain thinks humanity is unworthy of its existence! Blah blah blah Wonder Woman thinks there is more to people blah blah blah! How original! I'm so jealous of this originality I'm $#!++!ng blood. Well, the mental enslavement continues with Hollywood's lack of original ideas somehow impressing those who gets an unending diet of this super hero crap. Oh why wasn't I an abortion? Life would of been so much better. Anyways, the broad who plays Wonder Woman was the only reason this movie had any potential. She was pretty with a tight butt and her skimpy outfit p!$$ed off femi-fascists. The rest of the movie is pretty much the same ass cliché comic book movie with the same ass cliché comic book story and pacing. Recommended to those who like unoriginal uninspiring crap.",3 "Then sure, go ahead and watch all 9 episodes. I've no one to blame but myself for getting sucked into the hype. This series - and Disney's handling of the MCU in general - are like buying a bag of potato chips. The packaging cost more than the contents and the bag is mostly air. And in the case of WandaVision, the potato chips themselves didn't taste so good and were stale.",3 "In the aftermath of The Avengers, Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) continues his work as an agent of S. H. I. E. L. D. under the direction of Nick Fury (Samuel L.

E. L. D. and the Winter Soldier, Steve with the help of Natasha and former Army Pararescueman Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) attempt to unravel the conspiracy and understand what the imminent threat is. Following the release of Captain America: The First Avenger, writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely returned to pen the sequel that would be based on Ed Brubaker's run on the character and continue to examine Captain America as ""a man out of time"" contrasting his traditional values of right and wrong in a world where the enemy is rarely wearing flags/colors or even in plain sight. The film would also be the first major entry in the MCU from brothers and directors Anthony and Joe Russo who based on the strength of their work on the TV series Community were given the highly competitive position beating out several other directors. While I was rather mixed on Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World as entries into the second phase of the MCU, Captain America: The Winter Soldier stands at the same level of quality as the first film and The Avengers. Once again Chris Evans is just perfectly cast as Steve Rogers/Captain America as he embodies all the best values of the character but also gives him solid pathos as a man who is out of his element with the world having relegated his past as a relic and the scenes where he visits an exhibit in the Smithsonian of the Howling Commandos or a now 90 year old Peggy Carter who is stricken with dementia are quite heart wrenching but the character never lets himself become overwrought from it and continues to move forward finding purpose within his drive to do good. Scarlett Johansson continues to be good as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow and with the two of them paired up for a considerable amount of time they make a set of leads with Steve's more forthright approach contrasted well against Natasha who's more comfortable with ambiguity and falsehood having been exposed to this line of work longer than Steve. We also get a solid addition to the universe with Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson who Steve Bonds with over their shared experience as servicemen and the scenes between them at the VA are quite good. In terms of story, The Winter Solider does a solid job of having Captain America face off against the muddled modern world by taking inspiration from the classic paranoid and conspiracy thrillers of the 70s (the filmmakers have cited Three Days of the Condor and Marathon Man as such). The movie starts off with a great hook with Captain America forced on the run after being told S. H. I. E. L. D. has been compromised and it creates a feeling of helplessness and desperation that carries through the whole film until the climax. As with the first Captain America film this one also provides us with some of the best villains we've gotten to see in the MCU (way above the Dark Elves from The Dark World) and the themes of freedom versus security are explored in a manner that while fitting within a comic book universe do still have real world parallels that make for good food for thought. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a welcome entry in the MCU and only serves to cement how great of a character Captain America is. Evans is wonderful as the character and Johansson and Mackie are great allies to the character and the story is rich with twist, turns and revelations that just work.",9 "You can't creat a narrative around such depressing obnoxious and utterly pointless characters. The horror would have been great if I'd given a toss about a single one of them. Let me get this straight. You witness something marvellous and unique and your immediate reaction is to get hysterical with laughter. I'm an enormous horror fan. But the writing is dreadful. The concept is great. But the execution is simply foul. There wasn't one character in it that I didn't want to get eaten alive by rodents. They were all awful. Compare it to Babadook or It Follows and you're left cold. Won't be watching this again. Ever.",5 "There is a good show here, it is interesting to have an exploration of the negatives of Sups, but the storyline and exploration of this is unfortunately, for me, overshadowed by graphic violence and gritty-ness, taking front and centre over the story and characters.",4 "Warners attempt at re-imagining the Batman franchise will certainly prove to be a money maker, but many will feel disappointed by this one. The comic book elements that the original movies established so well has been abandoned here, so the dark, unsettled and distinctly ""fantasy"" world of Gotham City is reduced to a more reality-based vision. Everything from the skyline, cars, suit, weapons and characters all feel a little too viable in todays society, then to fit into this now legendary fictional city. While a great idea to show how our hero ""begins"" and an obviously fresh perspective into this character, many will feel frustrated when an hour into the movie, the Batman has still not been revealed in all his suited glory. Those not familiar with the first four movies will surely be impressed with this beginning and there is much to celebrate here. It is essentially a well told story and the direction is clearly solid. The cast is also impressive, however, the acting heavy-weights such as Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine & Gary Oldman, clearly outclass the acting of Bale and that is something that really undermines this one. When you leave a movie having a deeper memory of the supporting characters then the lead, something has definitely gone wrong somewhere.",4 "People expect too much. The show is very good, I cant wait next year tbh.",9 Good acting by everyone. Great effects and production values. Only gripe would be the swearing as my seven year old likes the show but I do cringe on occasion and have to remind him not to repeat those words. Otherwise a great new show and much better than the most recent Star Trek show,8 "2 episodes so far and it is dull. The only fun part so far was the flying minute or two from the beginning of the first episode. Everything else has felt slow, pointless and meandering. I think it's meant to be pretty looking, but it isn't particularly. It has nothing to say, and there's nothing in either episode that has made me look forward to the next episode. If this show was a cookie it would be so flavourless that basic vanilla would seem exciting by comparison.",2 "I can't believe that I've been putting off watching Future Man for so long, I guess it's because the trailers just made it look ok. I just now finally starting watching it and man, am I glad I did. It's hilarious! Everyone is funny but it's Derek Wilson (Wolf) that really shines and steals the show! I've never seen him in anything else but he's the star of this show and has a bright future! Give this show a chance...you will not be sorry!",8 "The Matrix combines an incoherent script with intoxication with special effects. A large chunk of the film is a stretched out denouement in which all the characters, goodies and baddies, are equally invulnerable. Buildings are blown up, walls shattered and general mayhem occurs, but no main character is injured beyond biting their lips, and no motivation for any part of the action is even hinted at. A Road Runner cartoon has been reissued with some live actors, and possibly some robots. There is one laugh in the film, when Fishburne, after putting Reeves through substantial torture and fastening him down in what looks like a dentist's chair says ''Just try to relax''.",5 Rian Johnson is terrible at his chosen profession. This movie is predictable and it's attempts at humor are juvenile and fall flat. It felt like it was 4 hours long as I found myself wanting it to end about 30 minutes into it. Not worth your money or time.,1 Each episode you are watching the more the show getting better. Just hang in there and keep rolling as it is a roller coaster to claim the high first and then the fun begins ;),9 "What is nothing more than a competent Political Thriller has managed to once again tick a lot of people off at the Academy Awards and rightfully so. There are times when healthy debate can arise among Movie goers and Film lovers about the Best Picture winner or nominees, but occasionally there are mind bending and head scratching entries. Opinions can vary and discussions can ensue about the Art and the crafting of Film. This one goes nowhere new and is rather boring and unremarkable in most respects. All of the characters on screen look and act as though they are truly in a Hollywood Movie that is about a non existent Hollywood Movie. Affleck is the worst of the bunch. Here he has one expression throughout and is totally unconvincing. His one emotion, seen here, is rolling his eyes toward Heaven when they are given the go ahead at the airport. That's it. The Movie is without doubt overrated to the extreme and is not bad it just isn't much. It has nothing exceptional and nothing outstanding. It is rather stale and stodgy with fake emotion and it tries real hard at being matter-of fact, but when delivered it is Movie of the Week mediocrity and melancholy to a fault. Historical inaccuracies or not. It just doesn't matter. This does not have the substance or Artful integrity to matter. The only matter worth mentioning is its undeserved attention and pawing patronizing. That alone is a matter of great mystery and deserves discussion.",5 It was a bit sad but after seeing this movie i felt bad but in a way good because it did happen back then but it change in a way they are now free. And they wanted to make a movie of someone like this and then they found a book that a person went through so in a way this movie is true a bit. But did i like it a little bit I just don't get how that man had a kid and why he was so nice to them was that his kid or was it not? And when he was found it was like his eyes lite up just by seeing his friend and then i felt sad but it felt good.. and why would this ever happen why can people be so cruel back then and how could they sleep at night.,6 In this film comes how to parallel things and here the director comes with two beautiful pasts telling the role of the father in his youth and then comes the role of the son and how he controls his life and from here we learn authority is not everything in the family authority comes its role in parallel events in life.,9 Sorry for wasting two hours watching this movie.. definitely its the worst movie i have ever seen.. story is too bad and you feel so upset after. Even one star rating is too much for it.. not advised at allllllllllllll I believe watching any boaring tv show is much more fun than that poor movie... Unbelievable..,1 "When Vivien Leigh was chosen to portray Scarlett O'Hara in ""Gone with the Wind,"" some of the book's fans protested about a Brit playing a Southern lady. The casting was forgiven when she proved up to the task. Not so forgiving were blacks and Asians when whites were cast as minorities. Al Jolson in blackface in the first talkie. Marlon Brando as Japanese in ""Teahouse of the August Moon."" Laurence Olivier as a Moor in ""Othello."" Now we come to Daniel Craig, trying to be a Southerner in ""Knives Out."" It doesn't work. His New Orleans (?) accent is merely annoying. If there were a Southern Anti-Bias League, they would protest. Oh, the film. Once you get past the absurdity of the premise, it works well enough to rate it a 6.",6 "Great follow up series to Endgame The TV sitcom vibe that changed each episode was incredible - great scoring, the commercials, humor, spot on. Great backstory to Wanda Several layers of depth to the characters and themes.",9 "An historic event like the Dunkirk/Dunquerke evacuation deserved a much better effort. The hype exceeded the content of the movie and I could not feel that I was taken along with the plot. The only thing I was taken for was for watching it. The roles played lacked any dramatic plot which is a shame. I will admit the air combat scenes were realistic enough and it was a pleasure to see that action. The actual event at Dunkirk was a side event to the movement of some soldiers scampering away from the action. Lacklustre.",3 "What was the point? This has got to be one of the 10 overrated movies of all time -- right up there with Chariots of Fire and Forrest Gump. This a boring movie about boring people. Spent way too much time with them and could not find anything interesting or appealing about either one of them. This is one to miss.",1 It's not bad just a little overrated. I also think it didn't deserve the 1995 Oscar for best picture (Pulp Fiction should have gotten it).,7 Please forgive me for my lack of knowledge but I don't think this movie has put facts through and is more towards extremist groups.,4 "I can't say i'm a huge fan of the Batman franchise. Since i have basically no interest in comic books i'm usually also quite free from expectations based on comics. I do enjoy a good comic book adaption though so i don't mind watching a movie like Batman Begins. Seeing as how the actors and director were both talented i must admit my hopes were rather high. Unfortunately this movie is ultimately a disappointment. I love movies based on comic books. Which might sound strange considering i don't like comic books themselves. And maybe it's strange, but still there is something about the over-the-top playfulness that should always be an element in comic-book adaptations that appeals to me. Christopher Nolan who directed Batman Begins has not done anything like it before, but then again neither had Bryan Singer before he made X-men, and just look how well that turned out. It's my firm belief that a truly talented director can make almost any kind of movie. And has Nolan succeeded? Well, both yes and no i would say. The first part of this movie was very much to my liking. The background of how Batman came to be Batman, as well as the background to where he gets all his lovely toys and his neat cave. Christian Bale is a good actor and the supporting cast is also excellent so there is no problem with the fact that there is not much action in the first half. Rather the problems start when the action starts... The action scenes are dark, messy and not very well done at all. Effects-laden and with a lot of kicking and punching without us seeing very much of what's going on. Maybe a testament to Nolan not being used to action-films? In the end there is just too much lacking from this film for it to be truly successful. The script feels like it's been re-written somewhere in the middle. Perhaps the studio thought people wouldn't see a Batman-movie without constant action-scenes? In the end it feels like two movies in one, and the first part is by far the best. The actors are superb and most of them do an excellent job. Bale is great as Batman (the best Batman so far alongside Michael Keaton), Michael Cane is enjoyable as his butler and Liam Neeson offer as solid a performance as ever. So what's missing? Well apart from the story more or less disappearing in all the explosions in the end i really miss the super-villain in this movie. There is just not enough madness to go around. To make a long story short this is not a failure as such. Rather it's more the feeling that it could have been so much more that bugs me. A promising start is dragged down by inefficient action-scenes and i feel this movie deserved better. It's a 6/10 for the effort.",6 "Hurt that this wasn't put in the AVERAGE movie locker ! No it should not have won best picture nor any of its other nominations. OK OK i understand that there is this whole respect to absolutely any movie that surfaces regarding the war in Afghanistan/Iraq phase occurring but this movie was quite simple average. Although i enjoyed certain parts and the suspense was enjoyable to say the least, the story line was just to unpredictable and there was certainly not enough depth in the writing. The story was saturated with hyper tensioned egos and over acting. I would recommend seeing this film for the action and suspense qualities however, but earning it the best movie award i think not. This was not a masterpiece as 'Best Movie' should imply, rather it was an entertaining insight into the role of the bomb disposal unit.",5 I so wanted to love this given the reviews I have heard but I was left wondering what film other people had seen. Idea was good but it was a nothing story in the end. So disappointed. Found the subtitles too small. Just could not have cared less. Why all the hype?,2 "I don't know who thought this would be a good movie to do. So many unnecessary Michael Bay explosions, stupid writing, mostly bad jokes made for 11 year olds and probably the worst editing I've seen in a high budget movie. Do not recommend watching even though it's free on Netflix.",3 "When I first started watching this series, I thought it was going to be another average quality crime based TV series. This Series is one of the best TV series I have watched to date. The episodes gain new twists every episode making them more and more exiting. The one downside is that the main character although does what he needs to do to ""save the day"" the ways he goes about it is against any civil rights and disregarding any rules for human treatment. Having said that, there is always a good reason for what he does. All in all this is a very good TV series and I would recommend it to people in the mid to late teens and onward. Enjoy. :)",9 This movie almost has it all. Great story. Brilliant acting and music. Comes up short of what I expected.,5 "The last 30 minutes are mind blowing with breathtaking special effects, how I got through the first 1 hour and 40 minutes I've no idea, there appears to be no plot, there is no building of the main characters continued from the last film. I have to agree with another review I read it's more about building a franchise than the story. The cinema is so expensive nowadays I'd save your money and wait for the Blu Ray release. J.K wouldn't be in the position she's in now if that was the second potter film. But each to there own",6 "Just like anything, nothing is black & white, like w/ Harry Potter. All these characters have a back story... which are very important to the series. I haven't been able to read this series b/c I believe it was written in the form of a play or a script. I just saw this movie & I got a better understanding of alot of things. U can't shut sut down storytelling.... that is just the beginning. It's the beauty of several characters that shape something that will build up to sto more.",7 "Awful mismatch between people stories and colour schemes. We tried but gave up after about 20 minutes. A waste of good actors and of the worlds resources.",1 "The original is the only movie worth seeing more than once. This sequel will turn you off from any future projects using this title. That for me is sad and what a waste of talent. Hated every minute of this flick but I truly fell in love with the original. This movie was nothing more than ""how many can John wick kill in 2 hours, All fighting, no storyline and really dumb. Not entertaining at all. At least with the first in this series you relate to the mindless killing of the most adorable puppy ever,",2 "House of the Dragon (Season 1) Creator: Ryan Condal and George R. R. Martin Rating: 8/10 House of Dragon is a prequel to the beloved Game of Thrones franchise after the disappointing last two seasons of the series. With House of Dragons, we were being reintroduced to the dynasty of the Targaryen and their fight to keep the throne. The whole series started out slow and the constant time jumps were jarring. However, the show was able to capture the interests of the audience through characterization. The performances were great, with Matt Smith delivering a captivating and subtle performance standout and playing into the impulsive eruptions of violence that the Game of Thrones franchise is known for. But, it was Paddy Considine's performance that catapulted throughout the season. He gave out a rare and beautifully rendered portrayal of a wise and stoic King Viserys, and it was in episode 8 that he delivered a most devastating swan-song performance. House of Dragon may not be as great as its predecessor, however, the constant narrative pacing and characterization allowed the show to succeed on its own distinctions. The characters are well-established and well-written and we get to discover the characters we love and the characters we love to hate. High production values are reflected in the series, and the cinematography and atmospheric soundtrack are fetched together masterfully. House of Dragon does not contain much violence and cruelty like the GoT has but incest. However, the goal of the series was to build anticipation and it was strongly achieved. It is a very promising series and a lot to look forward to in the next season. Another concern is that we have to wait for 2 years for the next season, I am not sure if some of us are still alive by then. Nevertheless, as a fan of the franchise, House of Dragon has established its story satisfactorily and it is starting to construct the suspense of greater things to happen.",8 "Have you ever seen a really really good ""switch"" movie? You know the type; mother and daughter or father and son wish out loud that they wish they could be the other and then some lightning bolts flash and it miraculously happens. Vice-versa, Freaky Friday, and Like Father Like Son are a few examples. The difference with the Change Up is that instead of a father/son or mother/daughter switch we get two buddies to switch things up. One happens to be a single playboy type who doesn't hold a job and the other is a corporate lawyer with a wife and three kids. The similarities to the other switcharoo movies is that like the other once mentioned, this is a rather mediocre to poor film as well. Perhaps the best of this genre is the Rob Schneider film, The Hot Chick, where he a low-life crook who switches with a prom queen. I got to go to The Change Up for free, so it was no harm, no foul. My recommendation would be for you to wait until this movie comes out on DVD to see it rather than waste your money at the movies. Rating 4 of 10 stars and that is being kind because I'm a Jason Bateman fan.",4 "It's not just that the science is bad -- it's bad in a big way. And often. And it's written without good context or plot to support it. And without any good science to balance out the bad. And it's not 'fun' bad science, like you might find in a super hero movie; it's bad science that seems to think it's good science. I'm an engineer, so I probably judge science and logic harsher than most, but the first episode had me groaning and rolling my eyes maybe 30 separate times. Gross. And it's not just the acting is bad -- it's bad in a comprehensive way. I couldn't get behind any of the characters. I couldn't fall into the story, partly because the acting seemed so forced -- like even the actors had something else on their minds while filming. And it's not just that the writing is bad -- it's exceptionally weak, cheap, emotionless, lazy, like the whole show was based on a first draft. The special effects were not bad per se, but they weren't good. It felt lacking of imagination. Not really inspiring or interesting -- just present. And, sometimes, the special effects were genuinely actually really bad. I knew by the 15th minute in that I was going to hate this show. But I watched until the end of the first episode. Yep, it's terrible.",3 "The saying goes, ""The book is better than the movie"". Can we really say this was a movie? Did the movie makers really grab the critical information from the book to include in the movie? I didn't read the book but I know, I just know they left out 95% of it. Historically I don't rewatch movies. However, I watched this movie again to see how incredibly stupid this movie is. It should be a comedy. I understand the post-apocalyptic movies are supposed to be unrealistic but all the supposedly ""sane"" people reacted and behaved so preposterously. This is not a horror film. It is a great cast of actors running around acting like it's a horror movie and the whole time you are thinking, ""WTF are they doing?"" Any reason why they couldn't walk around in the darkness of the night?",4 "I loved this! An anthology of what could happen if science went just a little too far. But how far is too far? Every episode has me thinking ""Woah!"". And this taught me an important lesson: DO NOT CONNECT DEVICES TO YOUR BRAIN!",7 "Lack of content & there is no basic storyline, wastage of time.",1 """Spider-Man 2"" swings into superhero cinematic glory, offering a thrilling adventure that not only surpasses its predecessor but sets a benchmark for the genre. Tobey Maguire's portrayal of Peter Parker captures the essence of the conflicted hero with sincerity, while the film editing seamlessly weaves together action-packed sequences and heartfelt character moments. The strength of the movie lies in its ability to balance the superhero spectacle with a compelling narrative that delves into the personal struggles of its characters. However, the weakness may emerge in moments where the CGI may feel slightly dated by today's standards. The music, composed by Danny Elfman, complements the web-slinging escapades with a memorable and heroic score. With an 8/10 rating, ""Spider-Man 2"" stands tall as a testament to the potential of superhero storytelling, delivering a cinematic experience that soars with emotion, action, and the enduring spirit of a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.",8 "Ater so many movies from the Marvel franchise, Civil War was one of many films that every fan was expecting to watch, and finally its here, but the question is....Captain America:Civil War its good? No. Captain America:Civil War its great! This movie its great, its a perfect example of how a Superhero movie should be, its funny but at the same time, emotional and intense with a good story. I'm not going to spoil anything so i'll be quick(...as possible)The introduction of characters like Black Panther its great, the characters are great,everyone have scenes where are show interesting and i never felt boring at all,that's because everyone have something to do in this movie( or at least most of the characters) or have an arc,specially Steve and Bucky. Almost every performance in this movie its good but the best for me its RDJ, i never saw so much emotions of Tony in just one movie and this isn't an Iron-Man movie. The story is good, Zemo is fine, i have some relative problems with him but his plan its great and at least makes sense. The soundtrack its good and the choreography its great, better than The Winter Soldier in my opinion. Even if its great, its not a perfect movie, it has some problems, Spider-Man is awesome but the use of Spider-Man was forced,almost every joke its great in this film, but suddenly there are more serious or mature scenes and then those scenes are interrupted by a joke scene, even in the War scene, and in some scenes that doesn't fit in the movie, other minor concerns are those annoying white text of the location or the final fight. But overall its a great movie and one of the best marvel movies if not the best, highly recommended if you want to watch something entertaining and very well done. 8/10",8 "This film isn't even worth reading the spoilers. The great thing about the past movies of this saga - though they too strayed far from the truth - had a basic true story behind it. This one is just fake. Every second is a joke. There are loads of moments when you see a classic jump scare or horror movie cliché coming but then it doesn't happen which normally would be great because all horror movies are just recycled spooks but this one could have benefited from taking those chances. Waste of time. Even writing this is a waste. Acting was fine though until the cheesy ending. 10/10 will never watch again.",1 The series is unique but at some times the action is getting stupid Benedict C. Played very well in the series but in season 4 nothing have logic,8 Do not waste your time and money watching this movie.,1 "Sherlock is a delightfully fantastic show, honoring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's sociopathic-but-lovable detective and his trusty sidekick using an incredible cast and detailing every inch of the original mysteries. BBC was able to pull off making Sherlock's comeback to the big screen better than Downey's films that left me crushed when the series ended in 2017. Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as John Watson made the perfect on-screen duo, their energy and excellent performances taking every case and bringing me to the edge of my seat, always leaving me attempting to solve the mystery like Sherlock but finding out the little grey cells in my head aren't quite as great as I'd hoped. Through four seasons, each with three to four episodes, the show gives ample room to create a mystery and see it through without it feeling rushed, which is a rarity nowadays. Every episode feels meticulous and the attention to detail is not passed over, creating for a truly mesmerizing set of sequences. There isn't much else to say about the series as it hits every nail on the head with the perfect amount of resistance, allowing viewers to form a bond with the cast and be fully involved in their adventures, be it Sherlock shaming Watson for the way he thinks or Moriarty appearing out of the shadows to continue toying with the master detective. With a thoroughly blended mix of action, drama, mystery and comedy, every episode of this series has never disappointed.",9 "Yawn, yawn, yawn. What an awful movie which should have been so much better. The script is dreadful and clichéd and cringe-worthy at times (who the heck commissions these script writing morons?). Children will probably love this trash but anyone with a brain will probably die (mercifully) during their visit to watch this drivel. It is predictable and slow in its useless 'grab the viewer' tenet. Nothing ever happens of great interest and Paul Rudd is totally not up to the job of his portrayal. The first twenty minutes are a work class in how NOT to make a movie. If Alfred Hitchcock had made this, then you could forget about a future gem like Psycho being made. The directer, Peyton Reed, does not have any imagination and should be ashamed of this abominable mess of digital inferiority. You could not pay me to watch this garbage again. I think, in real life, that Peyton Reed is only 2mm in stature. His movie is much smaller than that. Please excuse me, I need to go and vomit in a thimble.",3 "If you enjoy a hearty post-film analysis session, or simply like pretentious movies, then this is one for you. If you want to be entertained a la 'while you were sleeping' where the film has a beginning, middle and end, and a slushy romantic story that is dished out without you having to think too deeply then you might come away from this film feeling a little cheated. True, there is a plot. True there is progression – but I couldn't help feeling 'so what' after the film ended and cared not a jot about what lay ahead for our two leading players. Other reviews have pointed out that the film has hidden depths that need exploring, and that the 'face value' impression of the film (ie: Japan is a goddam awful place in which to be alone) is not the true message. Well, fair enough, but I wasn't handed a piece of paper stating this fact before sitting down to watch the film and there wasn't a post-presentation debrief on the rental DVD, so I'm just left with my own personal impression formed by what I saw. Could I now be tempted to watch the film again to re-explore its myriad of metaphors – not really.",4 "Eddie Brock/Venom is such a cool comic book character, and I'm a big fan of the source material. In the comics, he's a reporter with a grudge against Spider-Man who forms a union with a morphing alien ""symbiote"" that shares his hatred of the Webbed Wonder. Together, they're ""Venom"", at first a wrathful villain and later a monstrous anti-hero who protects the marginalized in NYC. Unfortunately, this film is way too vanilla -- and too goofy -- to do the Venom character justice. Part of that is the PG-13 rating, which kicks into high gear anytime a character would plausibly drop an f-bomb but says a lesser expletive instead. More importantly, it results in painfully obvious cutaways whenever the alien symbiote gets a hankering for human flesh (and heads). The other issue is the humor, which is now a certifiable part of the Marvel Movie Formula. When the alien starts talking to Brock and cracking jokes, making fun of his love life, and being forcefully ironic at ""hilariously inopportune"" times, I just had to shake my head. The comic books had it right, where the creature knew Brock's innermost fears, secrets, and desires, and would sometimes manipulate him or lead him towards questionable actions. Instead, what we have here is Deadpool-lite in alien form, all silly jokes and goofball humor when real gravitas is called for. Like many superhero movies, this one is ashamed of its source material and so feels it must cloak it with humor. That works in Thor: Ragnarok, but it's facile here. The movie's story is also too rote, too standard, too vanilla. It's loosely based on some of the comics from the 90s, but it's so un-involving; you'll see all the barely curved ""twists"" coming a mile away. It's hardly compelling, mostly acting as the glue for the action setpieces which unfortunately don't last long enough. I wish this film was crazier, more bombastic, even stupidly so like the first (and only watchable) Michael Bay Transformers movie. The plot of ""Venom"" is also suspiciously similar to 2008's ""Incredible Hulk"" with Edward Norton. The acting is decidedly average. There isn't much to Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock, a plain-jane everyman whose supermodel good looks never allow him to look as disheveled as his character is supposed to be. Michelle Williams is boring as Brock's ex, on whom is he is fixated, and Riz Ahmed is one of the most dull villains I've seen on screen in awhile. Edit all of his scenes and put them in a supercut on YouTube; you'll cure someone's insomnia. I'm a Venom fan, who reads Venom comics and just wanted a fun, bloody good time with bone-tearing symbiote action. Unfortunately this movie was too tame, and too un-interesting, to be the kind of turn-off-your-brain popcorn flick it wanted to be.",4 "Maybe the high score on imdb made me have high expectations of this movie, but still i can say - nothing special",3 "At least worth to spend the initial 10 minutes to enjoy the action sequence with Falcon. The rest is boring. Cliche of superhero's life not being as easy as we all think. Struggle for money, struggle for psychological health. Wanda set the bar high, and Falcon failed to deliver.",5 "You guys have already set a bar and when you do this kinda things, I feel bad. I'm not saying the show is bad. It's not. Trust me. But it doesn't qualify your benchmark. All the cast is great, acting awesome, direction perfect but the story is little boring. And sometimes you loose interest. Sorry guys being harsh but you've made so many great shows that I feel this time it was lacking something.",8 "One of the best Animes I have seen but some of the things I find in this anime were unnecessary. But overall, I'll say it's great.",8 "I went into this hearing different things, and I must say, it is really well written. It's all about power, control, psychological issues, and the blur between what makes someone a hero, and a true villain. Ignoring the fact some of people have powers, you do start to hate some of these superheroes. Also, it's a great political and social media take on being liked by society and making money for entertainment.",9 "I am giving this 8/10 because it was really gripping right from the beginning until the penultimate episode. The pace and excitement were similar to the first season of Homeland. Unfortunately, it felt like the producer/writer didn't really know how to wrap it up and did a slipshod rush job in the final episode. What a shame.",8 Storyline has huge potential however it was not executed as well as it could have been.,2 "The film has already become a legend. The legend turned into a myth. Shrouded in a veil of secrets, fueled by new commercials and shows, the picture ""The Dark Knight"" was the most anticipated this year. In my memory, there was no film whose release was expected by the whole world. A grandiose hype and no less grandiose triumph. These are not snotty comic book adaptations. A masterpiece canvas in dark colors by the magnificent master Christopher Nolan. What do you expect from this movie?"" was written in the questionnaire that was given to us before the session. And I honestly wrote that ""I'm waiting the best movie of my life""",6 "Love love love this, haven't watched such a good movie in a while. Lovely.",8 Plenty of action but generally a disappointing movie.,4 "Decent watch, might watch again, and can recommend, at least as a one-off. I have technical frustrations with this movie, but it's premise alone is interesting enough that anyone interested in survival style movies should watch it, though I'm not sure how many people are re-watching this. The movie is cast very well: Sandra Bullock and Jon Malkovich, both wonderfully portray jerk characters in completely different lights, along side several supporting actors who all deliver adequately or better. As most of the movie takes place inside a single house, they manage to keep things interesting there and vary up a few select locations, to include a city that is amazingly detailed in all the chaos unfurling and a river that is somehow both expanse enough you could feel lost and also claustrophobic in its restriction: it's a movie that presents very well. My big qualm is the structure of the writing: not the writing itself. All the dialogue and story arcs are great, but the RIDICULOUS insistence on re-ordering a story and not benefiting from it is just annoying. The second half of the story is interspersed with the first half of the story so you alternate back and forth. Really, who tells a story and jumps ahead 3/5 of the way, then back, then when you get to the 3/5 mark, not reiterate what is happening there. I might watch this again, but I know I won't truly enjoy it until I finally take the time to edit into the correct order.",6 "Each episode is slower and slower. The story is written so poorly that the story writers need to explain the entire episode at the end of each one just so the audience can understand what they hell is going on. Each episode is time warping 10 years each time, I wonder how many generations of this royal family we will encounter by the end of the series. With each new episode I am less and less interested in what is next. Can't even come close to the original Game of Thrones and should not even been considered a prequel or related series. There is no need to add legs to the snake. House of the Dragon is HBO's desperate attempt to gain new subscribers and compete in the highly competitive streaming space. I hate it when a successful title like the original GOT is used as bait to get people to pay money for a prequel or sequel that was put together poorly purely for quick profits. Overall not impressed at all by House of the Dragon.",3 "I've been meaning to watch it since it came out but never found the right moment: you know the struggle. It is one of the best war movies I've seen in the last couple of years. It represents the fear and shell-shock of soldiers and the cinematography helped their fears expose themselves to the audience. The sudden shift between the dark palate and the light colours gave me the feeling of being stuck on an island and a submarine. There was this sudden silence waiting for some sort of hope while the soldiers mission to stay alive gets harder. Even though I cannot relate to being a soldier to fighting for one's country in a war, I felt their struggles through this excellent film.",7 The whole plot seems to me was taken from Mega mind!!! the characters were killed by stupid new ideas of the creators of the movie!!,3 "The first session was good but the second one got destroyed by the feminist director, all the heroes leaders most valued characters are women!!! The witcher became a side story not the hero.",2 "The fact of adding a new character is fine, but the way they forced in this girl was a desperate way to try to find more content for a longer argument, thing that they could accomplish with the material they had, like a stronger relationship between Clay and Justen, that partnership would have made the argument kind of logical but it would have algo give a more sentimental finish to season 4",7 "I found this was a bit too much for me. Too much jumping around and hard to keep up with what was supposed to be going on. It felt like whoever made this was high on drugs or perhaps it's more enjoyable to watch if you are high on drugs. I don't really understand the hype about this particular film and why it won so many oscars. There were so many other better contenders! On a positive note some of the themes are interesting and thought provoking but unfortunately the chaos of the whole movie put me off a bit. Perhaps if it had been slightly less random and chaotic I would have enjoyed it more.",4 "Finish watching it today, I expect too much because of the reviews they say that this is the best and greatest movie ever but when i watch it it's good and watchable maybe it's just not my type of movie. But still It's fine to me, not too bad and not too good, the action and killings is brutal. FOR ME not the best movie but not the worst.",4 "Fargo is a brilliant movie with a very well written and well developed storyline with an outstanding cast and unique characters.The film is without a doubt some of the Coen brothers finest work,they put so much effort in to both writing and directing this movie together.William H. Macy does an outstanding performance as Jerry Lundegaard,if you read the trivia for this movie you will see that Macy fought hard for this role because he felt so strongly that he was the prefect choice for the character,and that is so true as I could not imagine anyone else as Lundegaard.I was so impressed that they managed to develop the characters and make such a detailed story with really no plot holes in the space of only an hour and a half,it didn't seem like enough time for such a complicated story,but the Coen brothers managed it perfectly.Fargo is an absolute classic film that I would recommend to all moviegoers. Based on a true story about a crime gone wrong as a husband pays henchman to kidnap his wife in order to get his own half of the ransom money from his father in law. Best Performance: William H. Macy Worst Performance: Tony Denman",9 "Seems that some producer requested something black and this is what they came about! Horrible movie, very difficult to understand the dialogues because it was decided to use an accent. Why accent? Or use some African language and stick subtitles or go totally in English. I've spent 40 minutes trying to get some plot, some story, that's when I realised that only them the movie was starting... and what a joke it is. If I were an African descendent I would be offended for using this rubbish to praise the Color. Another joke is Hollywood put this in the list of the best. Disgraceful.",2 "To start I gave this movie a 5, which to me means its good enough to watch but your life won't change if you don't. 6-9 scales up from you should give it a try to your world will get rocked. 10 should be reserved for movies or shows that make such an impression on you that lasts a lifetime. For many and rightly so a movie like The Godfather is a 10. This series' only clout is how well its adapted from a popular video game. Take that element away and let it stand on its own merit you will have to admit its only a decent sci-fi drama. I have to say I was biased towards episode 3 based on the buzz over the scenes. But it is HBO after all and anything goes. That kind of content is to be expected. I came to really like that episode despite what some people may feel. It was well done and very touching, excuse the pun. I really liked the Joel character played by PP who took his job seriously. Everyone else is just reading lines or giggling through the script. Even the zombies are not terribly convincing. Once more, a score of 10 should mean the show cannot do any better than it is. A 10 should mean you can watch it many more times and still get a thrill like your first viewing. Sadly I think most people overrated this and watered down the value of the 10 stars. 10 should be precious people don't give it away like chewing gum.",5 "The film did not feel right to me in most scenes. Especially the fighting scenes were very boring and a I played around with the 3D glasses and my handy to keep time passing. Some of the music, visuals and atmosphere was quite pleasing. The apnea scenes from the end when the kids rescued their parents were better, and a wish they'd hired the screenwriter of the octonauts to create the overall film plot. Although the computer animations seem very good at the present time, looking at nature and scenes in real life is way more fascinating and realistic to me. I think I will not see the parts 3 and 4.",3 "I watched the film with titles like Inglourious Basterds, Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained in mind. Maybe that was my first mistake. I didn't know much about Charles Manson and nothing about Sharon Tate, and that was probably my second mistake. After 1.5 hrs I wondered when something would happen in the movie. After 2 hrs I realized that the end is almost here and about 10 minutes before the ending credits, something happened, and the reason why it happened or the story behind was far from crystal clear. There are also long sequences/shots where you just watch Brad Pitt driving around in a car or watch a movie in the movie. You wait for something to happen but it doesn't. The camera focused on bare feet while the story was dull. I didn't like The Hateful Eight and this film reminded me of that in some ways. Spending about 100 Million USD on this, using actors like Pitt, DiCaprio, Al Pacino, Damian Lewis and many more seems to me like a waste of money and their talent",3 "Really, I don't understand how EVERYONE gave a good note and excellent reviews of this film. It is REALLY FAR from being a good movie, and even more from being in the top 250 of the all-time best movies. This is my first comment on this site, and it is also the first time that IMDb deceived me on a movie... I was sure that it would be awesome but it was just stupid and pointless. Maybe it is because I am not a fan of the Iron Man comics… but I couldn't get in it, from the beginning to the absurd end. I loved the other superhero's movies… but the context of this one was just too ridiculous that it was not interesting at all... I almost fell asleep in some parts. It is also extremely unrealistic when you consider the actual state of things in the world: Japan is way in advance on us on things like robotics and technology... just to give an example, in Japan they can create gas and electricity with their garbage... and we are far away from that. So how on earth can a little dude from the middle of the states come out from nowhere and can create those super weapons and that robot... something is not right. The music of this movie is also the worst I heard in years. It is dumb and it's really not helping the empty context of the story. Maybe if the music would have been better, I would have appreciated it a little bit more. I had shivers in Spiderman with the awesome music and the beautiful scenes of ''flying'' in the city. Not even one song was well-placed or enjoyable in Iron Man. Only heavy-metal style shouting music, not really heroic music in my opinion... Finally, the 4/10 note is well-deserved considering the fact that the music was horrible, the story was stupid, boring and too much cliché, but also because the only two good points of the movie were that the special effects were extremely good and the acting decent (Robert Downey Jr. is a revelation), unless it would have been a 2 or a 1. I strongly disagree with the 8.2 of IMDb and as I said, it's really the first time in the hundreds reviews of movies I watched here. I didn't enjoyed Iron Man at all, and a good advice to anyone would be to keep those 10 bucks to buy something useful or to go see something better. Thank you, Jeff",4 "The Boys is funny. At the firs, i didn't think that this series will be funny. I laughed so hard at episode one. And my best episode is actually episode one, when ""the accident"" started everything. This is a series which give the first impression for the viewer to continue watching. Although, there are soma boring parts and predictable, especially in episode 3 until 6, the last two episodes save it. Good job for the writer.",8 "This is a special effects vehicle... nothing more, nothing less. It follows the formula of every Hollywood action movie: You've got your trauma of seeing people killed, then 10 minutes later talking calmly about the old days. You've got your forced homage to a classic movie (the 2001 fetal position thing). You have your liberties taken with physics and proportion. And, of course, every situation is taken to the extreme (they just make it to safety before...or someone grabs something or pushes something just before...) If you're down and want to escape life for a couple hours, knock your socks off. If you're a relatively happy person with at least marginal intelligence, I'd wait for it to come out on Netflix.",5 If you like Game of Thrones or Lord of the rings you may very well like this series. I started an episode to see how it was and ended up on a 4 hour binge... needless to say the cast performs quite well and they definitely have good cinematography!,9 "It's a better executed version of ""The Happening"" but it's still not a great movie. The ending is not great and we are left with all questions unanswered.",6 "Shah Rukh Khan's 'Fan' is a masterpiece in terms of acting. Believe it or not, King Khan rules the show with his flawless expressions and sheer hard work he has put in to craft a movie that could be tagged as one of his best works so far. Kudos to SRK for making Gaurav endearing, lovable, adorable but PSYCHOTIC. After Swades, Chak De, May name is khan & DON2 a SRK movie you'd love for his acting. #FAN What a brilliant performance..!!! He is the epitome of success, love, life, happiness, everything..!!! #FirstDayFANShow Oh gosh! I had goosebumps while watching FAN. Such an amazing movie. One more reason to love Shah Rukh Khan. Thank you so much.",10 "Story is beautiful. Performances are amazing. Direction is great as usual, no one can question Ali's film making. In short, an adorable love story. A must watch for the people who ask for positive love story and the reflection of the society.",9 "The credits are the longest I have ever seen. This appears to be the problem with this show. Too many hangers on and not enough original content. This show so far is a weak copy of the ""Honeymooners"" and ""Bewitched"". If you are going to make a parody it has to be better, smarter, contain some originality. This fails. If you are sick of all the commercials on TV then this is just a little better.",2 "#URI-The Surgical Strike Movie Review by #SaltedPopcorn War movies have never been made extremely good in India barring a few. 'Border' had a feel, an intense one. LOC was pathetic. Thereafter, war movies have been made extremely boring till the time 'Lakshya' released. When I try to remember, I can't remember any contemporary movie name barring 'The Ghazi Attack' which I can tell, has crossed the 'Line of Emotions'. #URI, the movie based on Surgical Strike hitting 5 terrorists launchpads in PoK is not much of an exception. Though the movie has been made with utmost care to reflect courage and perseverance of Indian Army and has been shot very well, the basic element of a war movie, the feel, the patriotism, the emotion of 'Jai Hind' & the 'connect' with the viewers is still missing. A war movie should give you Goosebumps, it is not supposed to be plain. It has to invoke the feeling of 'Proud' among the viewers which unfortunately takes a back seat here. Talking of acting, #VickyKaushal has done a great job and has again proven his potential. Breaking his usual tone of acting, he has come out of 'decency' and has stepped ahead to become a strong character in this movie. Lastly, it's not a bad movie. Its a well intended and important movie. It's good to see the game plan of #SurgicalStrike, the determination to fight back the terror. It's nice to see #IndianArmy retaliating with its full force to gun down the terrorists in PoK. But at last, what matters is the connect with the audience which goes heavily missing in the movie. Had movie name was not 'URI' ( which is definitely unavoidable), the movie would have fallen flat entirely. It's just the name which saves the movie and compels people to watch it. Rest everything is just plain and usual. Can be watched once though for its subject and of course the acting of Vicky Kaushal.",6 "A fresh and fun animated dive through the multiverse that is in turns wildly dark, irritatingly brief, surprisingly funny and mind-blowingly extreme. The stiff 3D animation is not flawless, but the swanky stylised cel-shading, pleasant palettes and beautiful background work helps buckets and by the end I barely noticed it. The biggest limitation to me is the runtime of the episodes, which can often make it feel overwhelmingly breathless and doesn't give some plots room to settle. With the snappier episodes (party Thor, Doctor Strange, the penultimate one) this can work in its favour, but with others (Peggy Carter, Yellowjacket, Zombies) it leaves them feeling like a ""previously on"" montage rather than a proper plot. All-in-all though the starry voice cast, the pleasing anthology vibe and the fun continuity games make this the strongest Disney+ offering yet. Here's hoping season 2 lets the episodes dictate how long they need to work, we're no longer in the syndicationverse after all!",7 "I like The Boys even if the nihilism of this series is sometimes too much for me. I had high hopes for Gen V and the first 2-3 episodes were satisfying and more or less what I expected. And then things went downhill pretty fast. In fact they went nowhere. It could have been some kind of ""Wednesday"" in the Boys universe but in the end it was a pointless preview of season 4 of The Boys. The last episodes were particularly awful, the writing, directing, plot - were all bad. The finale episode was really bad, characters shift motivations in the middle of the episode, behave opposite to their personalities, all to serve a plot that does not make a lot of sense. And the cameos in the end were just ridiculous and killed completely any personality the series could have. The biggest mistake was probably killing off the guy with the most presence and charisma in the first episode (Arnold's son). The others were ok, including the main character. She is not very good looking so it's difficult to understand why everybody in the show looks at her like she is beautiful (a trend I remarked in many modern series), but she does a relatively good job and has presence. The others are just ok as I said.",4 Its way better than got. Characters are more interesting and intriguing. Fith scenes with sword the best I have ever seen!,9 Good movie but expected more from Scorsese. Emotional story and knew what was coming up next. Great acting.,5 "There's a plane waiting for us to take us to Miami in an hour, all right? Don't make a big thing about it. I know it was you, Fredo... You broke my heart... You broke my heart...",10 "I'll start with a note about the certificate. This is a 12A in the UK. There are a lot of extended horror-inspired scenes (with director Sam Raimi clearly going back to his roots). My 13yo and 15yo were both surprised by how intense this is at times. Younger children may well find it downright scary. Now onto the film. Visually and sonically it is spectacular. A creative tour de force that the technical teams should be very proud of. But that's it's problem. It's just a technical success. The story (and most importantly the characterisations) are really thin. Now I'll confess that I always have a problem with superhero films that fall into the ""most powerful being in the universe"" trope. As soon as someone is that powerful, all tension disappears. They can just destroy everything if they want to, after all, so why are they messing around with endless force-field battles with one another? You just end up with two hours of all-powerful beings jumping from universe to universe and engaging in increasingly boring conversations about the multiverse and the power of witchcraft. With the action/horror sequences getting increasingly silly as time goes on. It does sort-of tie in with Wandavision and it does have a sequence in the middle that is clearly aimed at Marvel superfans, so if you are fully signed up to the franchise you'll get more from it than I did. But as a casual filmgoer it is disappointing. An exercise in pure fantasy that doesn't have the relatable charm of other post-snap productions like Shang-Chi or Black Widow.",3 "It's hard to believe we've now been living with Harry Potter for going on 12 years for Americans, and 13 years if you're British since the first book was published in the UK as ""Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"" in 1997 and ""Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"" in the US in 1998. In the first installment of the last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I, the entire Harry Potter enterprise has literally come-of-age. The story and characters have matured along with the writer, her readers/film-goers, as well as the actors in the primary roles. Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Daniel Radcliffe in the roles of Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter have grown up along with their youthful wizards, and the actors themselves are fast-earning the right to be regarded as A-list talent. Hopefully, they will have fine careers ahead of them, assuming they won't be forever type-cast as the Hogwarts wizard students of the Harry Potter novels. And of course, the ultimate credit of the series belongs to J.K. Rowling who has created a universe as recognizable as JRR Tolkien's Middle Earth, Stephen King's Dark Tower, and Anne Rice's 18th and 19th-century vampire societies. The rest of the cast of ""HP and the Deathly Hallows"", aside from the young leads, comprises bona fide A-list actors who were already demonstrating the heights of their craft long before J.K. Rowling was penning Harry Potter in tea shops as a single mother on welfare in Britain. Ironically, the names topping the list play the villains and dark characters: Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort, Alan Rickman as Severus Snape, and Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange. Special recognition has to be paid to Fiennes as Voldemort whose demonic persona makes the likes of Dracula and Frankenstein's monster appear more like bank robbers by comparison. Fiennes, despite the warped face and absent nose, is entirely believable as the sworn enemy of Harry Potter and an adversary to all that is good in the Wizard World. However the crux of the tale (as with the rest of the series), surrounds the three young leads inside an incredible production. The first couple of installments were written more for a younger age group. Now the characters and their respective actors have grown in complexity and subtlety. They reside inside the skins of their characters in ways which make you believe they understand and appreciate them more. No longer the smart class show-off of younger years, Hermione has grown into a young woman beginning to appreciate more fully the powers she has been taught which can transform the world rather than simply being the most-liked by her teachers. Weasley has a better sense of himself and is now dating Hermione which would have been unthinkable in the first few Harry Potter stories. And Harry Potter is nearing the moment when he can face Lord Vortemort as a near-equal without cringing at the sound of the name. The plot of the present installment is the most complex and compelling yet. Voldemort has gained power over the Ministry of Magic who are running the wizard government akin to Nazism of the 1930's. Anyone with ""muggle"" (i.e. non-wizard) blood risks being expelled and/or subdued by high-ranking officials in kangaroo courts. They have even placed a roman-inspired relief in the wizard town square showing muggles being subdued by magic. Although the wizard ministry and government are run by mortal wizards, Lord Voldemort is pulling the puppet strings like a demonic equivalent of the Godfather. He is on the verge of gaining complete immortality through the Horcrux's, amulet artifacts which also have an interesting side-affect of making the wearer become more self-absorbed and selfish, not unlike the Ring of the ""Lord of the Rings"". Dumbledore had begun the mission of destroying the Horcrux's as a means of defeating Voldemort; the mission now is passed onto Harry Potter and his friends. Harry Potter along with allies escort him to a refuge but are immediately besieged by the soulless dementors. There must have been a traitor among them which tipped off Voldemort. The three young wizards then engage in a two-fold quest: to obtain and destroy the Horcrux's to stop Voldemort from permanently gaining immortality thereby becoming the absolute-ruler of the Wizard World for eternity. Think of Adolph Hitler wielding a wand. Unfortunately, the Horcrux's appear indestructible, and they must obtain an artifact willed to Potter from the late Dumbledore, a sword, Godric Gryffindor, which Hermione realizes may contain enough power to destroy the Horcrux. During their quest, they keep stumbling upon a strange triangular symbol, which even appears on one of the stones of a cemetery at Harry Potter's birthplace which is also his parents' deathplace. A brilliant and compelling film all the way around despite having been absent from Hogwarts, with absolutely phenomenal effects which neither impedes the story nor hinders the acting but enhances the Wizard World and the story contained within. The acting is some of the best I have seen for a fantasy film/story, it's only rival Peter Jackson's ""Lord of the Rings"". The best which can said of this film is that it never appears like the filmmakers were relying solely on the Harry Potter name for success. They have forged a brilliant film to climax the series, one of the best all-time in fantasy-filmmaking.",10 """This one is a great one"", that was what I was told by the young lady when I bought the ticket at the window. ""This one is the funniest,excellent and greatest comedy and gongfu movie that I watched in recent years"", that was what I thought when I walked out of the theater. The movie contains wild imagination, hilarious story, and coolest actions. But those are not all about it, it also brings sweet love, kindness, honest, and justice. I like the music which is quite different from the ""Hero"", and story in this one seems more meaningful and reasonable than the ""hero"" too. It is better than ""kill Bill"" to me. I don't like the bloody scene in the ""kill Bill"", which is neither funny nor cool. But in the ""Kong Fu Hustle"", there are cool actions, not that bloody, but more entertaining. I think Stephen Chow is a talented actor and great director. He really made a great movie this time. I would like to see more of his production. All in all, this movie is highly recommended and you will be regretted if you miss it.",10 "Aside from the joy of being part of an international hype, and the visual aesthetics, it's maximum a six for the plot and the storylines. Maybe as a middle eastern spectator I didn't get most of the eighties references, which affected my watching experience.",6 "My memory is not what it was but as I see it there's only ever been one poor MARVEL movie (Iron Man 2) and even that at times was entertaining. So what of CAPTAIN America : CIVIL WAR? To me it plays out as almost two movies in one... PART ONE is an interesting, almost action free debate on how far the Avengers can go and on who's terms? this could have been a little boring for many Marvel fans but it's intelligently & entertainingly done and sets up Part Two perfectly... PART TWO This is what MARVEL does best...putting up on screen that which many of us dreamed of back in the 1970's & 80's as a young lad. It's true it's not actually an Avengers movie in words but it's as close as you can get without ever calling it such (only HULK & THOR two terrific characters are missing here...but i think in THOR : RAGNOCK we are about to find out why they were not here) We also get an almost scene stealing turn from Spiderman (pretty much as we remember in the comics...wisecracking and commenting on pretty much everything he does, he's even picked up on it as a kinda in-joke) ANT-MAN shows up in a fun cameo and boy has he grown :) This scene on the airport runway was FUN with a capital F. Is it as good as CAPTAIN America : A WINTER SOLDIER? Tough call, this is a little different with the quieter & thoughtful first half but I LOVE that MARVEL at least tried to consider things and tone down the BIG SFX showdown's until the final half which still leaves our two sides poles apart and us wondering well what happens now? SUPER STUFF...now onto DOCTOR STRANGE and let's just hope that it's more trippy and better than simply an INCEPTION clone? with all the buildings twisting and turning...there must be more to this? the different dimensions and trippy effects are being held back I guess from the trailers? we'll see but the lead role looks nailed on to be good, just need the story and staging to be as good as Cumberbatch almost certainly will be.",9 "This was not a bad movie, but had way too much going on, and went on too long - I started looking at my watch after about an hour and fifteen minutes, and the last half-hour seemed like an eternity. Sometimes it seems as if pictures such as this one are made for audiences who are easily bored or who have ADD. Too many explosions, car crashes, too many plot points, not enough substance. Heath Ledger's characterization was interesting, but in light of his death it is difficult to objectively analyze his performance. The other performances were so-so. The movie takes itself a bit too seriously; it is, after all, a film about a comic-book character, and doesn't resonate the way a truly great film like The Godfather does.",4 I had fun watching this show even tho i am not into chess i recommend to watch,7 "SPOILER FREE!!! For people who say this movie is trash, I can understand why you think that way. But that's not how I think./ Pros + Fantastic direction that is realistic but not too dark (like winter soldier) + fantastic stunts and realistic action + airport scene = best action scene in a marvel movie since the train scene in Spider-man 2 +fantastic introduction and great motivation for black panther + Tom Holland= best version of spider-man and Peter Parker since Spider-man 2 + great motivations for each sides + liked how it was mainly a Captain America movie / Cons - the villain could've been removed, but I understood his motivations / Overall - 14.8/15 or 9.85/10- best comic book movie since Dark Knight",8 "What you hated about Friends and The Big Bang Theory ( Laugh tracks on lame jokes forcing you to laugh), Snyder cut trailer ( Weird aspect ratio and B/W) all rolled into one disguised as a satirical view on soap opera to distract you from the fact that it is mediocre at it's best. No built up intrigue and absence of interesting characters leave it unwatchable. First impression is the last impression except when you know the MCU is backing this.",1 I don't know what happened but it is not like the last two series it's boring lots of drama less of witchers stuff disappointing they need to look back what did they change and bring everything back to normal it's witcher series not the lonly broken girl and the garden we want to see how is the Witcher trying to survive through this crazy world please don't kill the story it is not a cow to be milked just focus about what is the story stop the unimportant talks I jumped lot of unnecessary talking and nothing changed I still in the story soo don't try to make long episodes by lot of unnecessary things thanks.,1 Another character and show disney destroyed. CGI of characters are ridiculous. More like a jungle book. Please quit destroying everything by trying to please everyone. Keep characters try to comics or at least more realistic and not this nonsense cGI.,1 "It was quite a challenge to top such an exhilarating, original (at least by today's storytelling standards) summer extravaganza like 2008's big hit ""Iron Man."" That film was well done on a technical level, but the reason why it is so good and why it is twice the movie that ""Transformers"" (2007) was because it used its special effects as a service to its story instead of simply relying on them to save the day. So it's a real challenge to not only build on that, but improve upon that. But by Jove, director Jon Favreau and his cast and crew have done that with flying colors with ""Iron Man 2"" which to my mind is not only better than the original, but the best film that I've seen so far this year. The movie picks up where the first one left with Robert Downey Jr.'s alcoholic, eccentric character of Tony Stark revealing his alter-ego identity as Iron Man. While he combats a power-greedy senator's strive to strip him of his technological triumph and to maintain a somewhat stable employer-employee (and sometimes romantic) relationship to his assistant Pepper Potts, again played with grace and conviction by Gwyneth Paltrow, a new villain with his own technological tools and dazzling wit (Mickey Rourke) arrives, seeking revenge not only on Stark as a person, but his legacy. It seems to be a trend these days for the second installment in superhero movie franchises to be better than the first. That was the case with Sam Raimi's ""Spider-Man"" saga, with Christopher Nolan's marvelous reinvention of the Batman character, and now with Jon Favreau's Iron Man pictures. In my original review, I stated that I really enjoyed the first ""Iron Man"" picture but felt that its climax was a little lacking and that there were some weak zones in its plot. However, all of that is built up and enhanced with the sequel and if there is one word I can use to describe it, it is: exhilarating. Even as it builds up new story lines with new characters, some of which may be ostensibly unnecessary, it never bogs down. Like ""Spider-Man 2"", ""Iron Man 2"" brings up the plot element of the main character's alter-ego taking over his life to the point where his normal life starts to fall apart, causing him to shun his responsibilities and obligations. Although this is a sort of familiar story, the filmmakers do a great job at keeping things on the move. What's also great, and carrying down from the first picture is how it's not all grim and tough, but has effective moments of comedy such as a scene where Scarlett Johanssen reveals to a cocky boxing manager that she knows a little more about the sport than she led him to believe. And of course the highlights are conversations between Robert Downey, Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow and these melodramatic moments are blended with the more traditional tones seamlessly so that it does not feel like the movie is phasing in and out of one personality, heck, like its central character. You want special effects? You got 'em. Just like in the first picture, ""Iron Man 2"" is packed with lots of explosives, bursts of action, ear-jarring sound effects, and marvelous camera tricks and cinematography to lock the audience's attention in place. But once again, these special effects, unlike the effects in ""Transformers"" and its sequel, are used as a service to the story and that is why they do not overstay their welcome. The movie saves its drawn-out climax to the end and this climax is twice as exciting as the somewhat shallow final battle of the first movie. Robert Downey Jr. is still most effective as the troubled character of Tony Stark. He's charming, witty, humorous, and believable not as a caricature, but as a human being. Gwyneth Paltrow is equally effective as Pepper Potts; Scarlett Johansson is both seductive and convincing as the new assistant who has her own way of backing herself up; Sam Rockwell does a fantastic job playing the techno-dweeb big on money but short on brawn; Mickey Rourke is sinister and cold-blooded as the villain; and Don Cheadle does a surprisingly good job taking over for Terence Howard as Tony Stark's military pal. I can't think of one person I know whom I won't recommend seeing ""Iron Man 2."" From start to finish, this is one exhilarating piece of film-making. It excels, I say, over its already exhilarating predecessor and many of its companion superhero sagas, and proves itself to be one truly enjoyable time at the movies.",9 "A watered-down version of the books, gaps in each episode that feels rushed. Don't get me wrong, the acting is excellent and Henry portraying of Geralt of Rivia come from someone who knows the character, but the plot should be improved in season two (that would be the Blood of Elves).",6 "Loved this series. It was at times a bit disorienting as there's a lot going on. There's frequent switching between the past and present. But the story blends gangsters, Indian mysticism and compelling police investigation together. The performances are pretty stellar. Who better to lead the story than Saif Ali Khan, Radhika Apte and Nawazuddin Siddiqui! They did a great job under supreme direction. It's a short-lived series but the grit and production values will leave you hungry for more. There's also some intimate scenes which surprised me- it's a novel thing to find in Bollywood tv/film and not a bad thing to see this level of social progression!",8 "While this film contains nothing outstandingly offensive and there is certainly nothing to criticize about the acting and film-making technique, I am troubled by the extreme praise being heaped on this film. It is a very simplistic film with a narrowly focused story line that overall is carried by the highly charismatic lead (Renner) and the frequent explosions. The effects are low budget and generally adequate but some (e.g., sniper scene) are quite unrealistic. All major issues related to the US invasion of Iraq are ignored. The self-pitying title seems very ironic given the effects of the invasion on the Iraqi population, compared to which the suffering of US personnel has been minuscule. Many outside the USA will speculate that the film's appeal in the USA has mainly to do with a widespread 'support our troops' mentality and the less widespread but more sinister blind patriotism that infects the nation. The definitive American film about the 2003 US invasion of Iraq has not been made - if it does appear it will, in part, take proper responsibility for this tragedy.",5 "I think porn movies have more logically structured plot than this, and better acting. Keanu Reeves is playing Keanu Reeves. The other guys seem to be either slacking on the scene or a zombie-like walking around waste material. The only thing that seems nice is the scenery composition and camera work, but you get so bored after the first half-hour that the only thing that keeps you going is the thought ""could it get any dumber?"" And it does - the cheesy ending definitely puts a comma until next sequel. Good thing we were watching this at a friend's house, otherwise there would be PTSD symptoms of money well wasted. I think movies like this with high IMDb rating encourage piracy.",2 "A cross between The Happening and A Quiet Place but without the rubbish dialogue of the former and without the scares of the latter. Some characters were a tad bland but I enjoyed performances from John Malkovich and Sandra Bullock wasn't as bad as people have said. I'd recommend it but keep your horror expectations low.",7 "Everything was up and down and moving untill episode 25, then something happened and everything became predictable. I guess writer didn't got a good ending. Bad means even if they are guessing possible scenarios out of many they only guess that exact one that happened.",5 "Nothing compares to avatar it's the best series out there the storyline characters the way that people change gain strengths and friendship and their crew is amazing every episode is ridden with emotion ive recently watched every episode in 3 days after watching one you can't stop it's even worth rewatching after a week or couple SPOILER the thing that got me was seeing suko change and realising what needs to be done and iroh being the dad for him it's so heartwarming and when he asked to train the avatar it's predictable as you see him slowly edge towards doing it but still seeing him do that just made me feel so accomplished then watching the enemy fight with them and the team slowly getting bigger with toph and suki it's just beautiful the design , everything Lastly and lastly finishing the last episode seeing everyone happy and then the music that comes on as aang looks over the balcony just gives you the sense of omg it's gonna end then the depression hits as it's over after i felt so empty as it's all over but it's honestly so perfect all i can think about is watching it again i don't want to watch anything else like once you watched it your hooked.",10 "I'm now actually angry that Netflix spent some of my hard earned money to produce this. Absolutely shocking! Although, fair play to the post production chaps. They've worked their socks off on this one. Particularly with the ridiculous way that people die. Amazing.",1 "After seeing the first movie of the Fantastic Beasts franchise, this one dissapointed many of the fans (including me) because of it's boring and not enough layered plot and story. Instead of working on the story, JK Rowling and the rest of the team focused on the Harry Potter references on this one, which was definitely a bad desicion. The Crimes of Grindelwald has it's qualities and in my opinion is a decent movie, but the plot feels way too slow and boring. They feed our brains with tons of information and prepare us for the upcoming war while introducing some new characters. Acting was definitely good, especially with Jude Law's young Dumbledore. I loved Johnny Depp's performance as Grindelwald and Ezra Miller killed the role of Creedence. Special Effects are not to be commented, since they were perfect just as cinematography itself. Generally the whole movie is a decent project with that one big flaw.",6 This is a very good movie. 7.7 is overrating. Did it just get that because Questin Tarantino made it. But just the same. It is a good movie. It is better then Wolves at the door. It does have good acting. It also has a good story line.,6 "Although the start of this series will leave you scratching your head.. but as you watch - and if you're a marvel fan and have watched and followed all the movies to date, you'll see familiar faces. Watch along and follow the unraveling of a mystery behind this show. You may also feel for Wanda if you yourself has also ever grieved for a lost loved one. Sometimes when you've greatly lost someone you love, you would also wish you had the ability to retreat into a fantasy world where they were still alive. But not everything is as it seems in this town, and mystery always build good plots. Especially in a series where people have superpowers.",9 I really liked it but once we were into the story it didn't really add up/make sense. Great cast and scenes means it's worth a watch though.,7 "It's fine, a mediocre war film hanging on a gimmick. It could have been shot traditionally and it wouldn't have made any difference, I didn't even notice the ""single take"" after about 15 minutes. The acting is serviceable, and what little action there is reliant on action movie tropes. It's one unrealistic scene after another. Just a really ordinary, unremarkable film.",4 One of the better cat & mouse chase stories I have seen in recent times. Edge of the seat thriller. Typical South Indian anti gravity action but the gripping narrative helps you digest it.,9 "The Change-up involves a hectic lawyer father husband (Bateman) swapping places with a single bachelor friend (Reynolds). This is all far-fetched but it is played for laughs, treading a thin line at times with taste, emotion and it's daft but inevitable scenarios. This is a rom-com for couples and comedy fans and just about holds onto a safe, silly idea with entertaining license and care-free frivolity. A good, safe, silly laugh of a film with some good acting thrown in too (Bateman and Mann especially). The Director (David Dobkin) also has 'Wedding Crashers' and 'I Know Pronounce You Chuck and Larry' on his CV - so expect a mash-up of these 2 films's humour (with mixed results).",7 "This movie is flat. Spiderman fights drones to save Earth... what a plot. At least marvel should introduce one physically strong villian or some hand to hand strong combat in this film. To destroy drones I don't think any Avenger is needed, millitary or air force is enough. I appreciate the acting of Tom holland. He is perfect in spiderman.",3 "The stylish and stylized ""Kung Fu Hustle"" is, as its name implies, a goofy martial arts parody done with rare good humor and a keen sense of the absurd. It is a tale of gangsters and wannabe gangsters going up against a half dozen or so of the finest fighters in the lower class part of town. However, the plot is merely a framing device for a series of amazing fight sequences that showcase not only the performers' incredible skills as stunt men (and women) but the film-making prowess of those behind the camera as well. Writer/director Stephen Chow (who also plays the main role) turns his flesh-and-blood actors into the equivalent of cartoon characters, unaffected by the laws of gravity and physics, as they are stabbed repeatedly, fall from impossible heights, and suffer incredible bodily abuse, only to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and continue on fighting as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. The razor sharp editing and multi-speed camera-work - ranging from fast-motion to freeze framing - also contribute immeasurably to the surrealistic tone of the film. It's true that ""Kung Fu Hustle"" is definitely an acquired taste, and to those who are not aficionados of the art form, much of the movie can seem repetitive and silly. And even for the most passionate of devotees, it can still be too much of a good thing. The plot is frequently incoherent and the characters wafer-thin, but the stunning look and extraordinary energy level of the film make it a must-see for die-hard fans of the martial arts.",7 5 minutes into the movie and the book is already ripped apart and made into another Hollywood garbage production.,5 "The film tells the story of the Fabelmans family and shows their experiences in life very vividly. It is truly amazing to see a person pursue their goals and dreams from childhood. A mother's support for her child is also very strong. Sammy looks at the world through the lens of a camera, but this way of looking increasingly reveals details that may not be visible to the naked eye. Although, the film is quite long, the time does not take long when watching, very quickly you can feel the experiences, problems, moods of the main characters and you feel like you identify with their family. Michelle Williams shines once again and gives a great performance, and it's worth mentioning the wonderful script, and what is more, the soundtrack is excellent. All in all, the movie is definitely worth watching and worth your time.",9 "This movie seems to be del Toro' s version of ""Creature From The Black Lagoon"". It is just boring and sometimes really silly. I don't know why the academy just hyped this film. del Toro has proved, he can do much better.",2 Watched a couple of episodes because I love fantasy and in the first couple of episodes thought Teresa Palmer looked stunning .Unfortunately the plot is way too slow not that clever and has become tedious and boring .,5 "I hate to rain on the parade of the 'funniest movie ever' but Superbad wasn't bad, but is not a laugh riot. Some teen age insights amid the top the next one gross sexual joke, but a ridiculous cop buddy Supertroopers laid on American Pie-dom does not a classic make. As a guy I laughed a lot, not the kind of lost it at the movies laughs of a Dumb and Dumber or the building snort by snort belly laughs of The Big Lebowski, and not the continuous tumescence of Animal House. I also wondered what any girl might think of the whole premise of the plot or the grossness of the jokes? There weren't any girls in the audience I sat with, mostly guys in their twenties, some high schoolers, and amid the group there wasn't the universal hysteria the reviews posted seem to suggest. The major paid movie reviewers waxed rhapsodically about this movie but having spent many an afternoon sitting with movie reviewers in various screening rooms, they are blood brothers (and seem the types to giggle over menstrual blood) to Seth, Evan, and Fogel. Seth is given to many adult like rages, Fogel too many moments of unbelievable nerdiness, the cops too many similar scenes of 'just wanting to have fun, for this movie to move the average movie goer or to cause one to get beyond a laugh to a laugh riot. Evan, on the other hand, is allowed to make his character in the movie a real person. More universal, less nerdy or fake aggressive. There was something in his voice, something that we all were in high school that is the best thing in the movie. It must not have been chance but clear thinking that did not include any of the ridiculous cop buddy sub plot in the previews. The cop stuff is like the energizer bunny: it goes on and on and on for increasingly hard to get laughs out of increasingly ludicrous situations. So, six stars out of ten, and not even in the top ten of teenage gross out sex movies or cop buddy movies.",6 "I can't even find the words to describe how dissappointed I am... All these years, all these movies, and all this build up of excitement - all for nothing.. I'll just watch ""Infinity War"" over and over again, until I forget they ruined it all like this..",4 Acting wasn't dramatic as I was expecting. Loki being the god of Mischief and then changing his personally felt slightly off. Chemistry between both the Loki-s were beautiful and tragic. Enjoyed the show.,6 "They MIGHT HAVE as well had the Disney intro logo at the beginning of the movie intro credits cause carnage never looked so teletubbied. Great concept nice fight scenes, the problem is you have a symbiote named carnage for a reason... Should have been violent and the bloody, We understand it had to be kept family friendly but it real took the element of seeing why carnage is destructive. To have seen venom develope its own personality from Eddies with a sense of humor was the highlight but overall could have been much better.",6 "I went into this movie expecting one of the best movies of all time. However, that is not what I saw. The runtime is extremely long and I found myself checking the time several times throughout the film. It was an interesting film to see, but it definitely does not belong on a list with the likes of ""Shawshank"" or ""Godfather"". The story was very confusing.There seemed to be plot holes and loose story lines that were never really tied up. The concept of the film is very intriguing and you will leave the theater wondering what it was all about. However, the atmosphere of some of the scenes felt very similar to Shutter Island for me. I almost felt like Leonardo DiCaprio did not really have to act much as he was basically playing a character similar to that of Teddy Daniels. Hope he isn't going to spend the rest of his career playing that same character. It was also nice to see Ellen Page in something besides Juno. She can be more than a snarky, pregnant teenager. Also, The visual effects are extremely well-done. I am not a fan of Nolan's work. The Dark Knight was a film that I could never understand why there was so much hype. It was average to me, at best. Inception, however, is much better than Memento. It is a film that you must see just because the concept is very interesting, but it is not something that you can watch over and over again.",7 "The cast is amazing. The dynamic of the characters are so unique and beautiful. Some of the comments mentioned how Selena was not quite right for the part and how annoying her character sometime was etc. Well, I think that's the whole point that make the friendship of the three so unique and funny. I personally think Selena has been great at portraying Mabel. She is fun, moody, quirky, a bit annoying, a bit ignorance and yet very charming. And most importantly, the character is very so relatable to the current demographic. Saying that though, I do want to see the character evolved more. Season 3 seems to be different from the first two and I can see it's not everyone's taste. But again, the whole cast was amazing.",10 "I do not see any drama worthy of praise in this film I'm not a writer or a film critic, but I am viewer and me the right question is it worth this film to enter the Oscars? The only thing worth praising the film is the soundtrack, but photography is very bad and some of the scenes by a stationary, stable images do not move where realism in this? Events are listed and the performance was by some representatives of artificiality, or in other words, over-representation of the limit. In the end, the film does not have a reason to run for Oscar not to take 4 prizes",5 "First two episodes are amazing, gripping, on the edge of your seat kind of show, it all rhymes fluently. After that the show derailed in enormous and horrible way, that would even scare Steven King, but not in the good way. Two stars for two amazing episodes, the rest is............ BAD, REALLY BAD, take my word on that",2 "Rarely review, but this is just bad. The Witcher is an altruistic character. Mostly OK, but fake low voice is so forced it's bad. He is almost an ancient Dr Who in motivation. Various kingdoms and actors come in, who are so over the top, it might as well be Zena warrior princes, or an old season of Dr Who from 20 years ago. Really not worth it, unless you need to pass some time.",6 "I would'nt go as far as saying this show is incredible, oh wait YES I WOULD. Stranger things captures all of the aesthetics of the 80s to a point that you think that your in the 80s yourself. Aswell as the 80s side of the show the horror/sci-fi aspect of it really goes a step further in season 4 aswell as it being amazing in all of the other seasons aswell, season 4 is not as terrifying as I was expexting. I am a huge horror fan myself so it was really fantastic to see them take it up a step with the horror. For S4 Vol 2 i wasnt that impressed with the ending but that doesnt make love the show any less.",9 The most mind blowing show with so many plot twists and stuff. The first few seasons are absolutely perfect especially the episodes with british casting. Every episode is like a different storyline that showcases the dangers of technology progressing. Black mirror does a great job at making a viewer feel close to a character then showing who they really are at the end. White bear shocked me. Some of the episodes are much better than others but the only episode i really dislike is the miley cyrus one its so cringe sorry. Anyway would be 10/10 if it didnt have a few snooze fest episodes but trust you gotta watch black mirror!!,7 "The main Sandra Bullock character was not likable in the very least. The movie started off just fine, very The Happening-esque. Then it drags and drags until a very unsatisfying ""ending."" It's actually incredible how little character development there really is for how long the run-time is. I mean, you'll ask yourself at the end....""What do I know about ANY of these characters?"" Nothing. It's some lazy writing and/or rewrites. And, I am not sure what the fate of a couple characters in the film are....was it written off? Why? Also, there is a very big goof in the general premise of the movie, just check the goofs page if interested. Not good. 4/10. Acting was good. Writing...not so much.",4 "Earth to casting.... Halle Berry, what were you people thinking? Did she win a Nose Flaring audition for this part? She's 53 years old, totally wrong for this movie, and looks bitter, old, and used up. Oh but it gets better, who cast the clown act from Iron Chef, you know the ""Ala Cuisine"" guy? Its laughable, and looking at these reviews I'm not alone in my disgust for this mess of a movie. Love the first two installments, this one will survive on the John Wick legend at the top of the Hollywood trash heap with all the other crap they're producing these days. A complete waste of time, you've been warned.",2 "While I found this movie visually great, it really has no story. It is a typical survival-story seen a thousand times before. No story + no interesting characters = boring. And only the visual is not enough (for me). People who are rating this movie with 10 stars, are either been dumbed down by studios in the last 20 yrs ... or the reviews have been bought by the studios for marketing reasons. It seems to me like Nolan wants to be a 'serious' film director now, and wants to get noticed by the academy. The superficial heroism of military and war by all these movies are really annoying and stupid. Seemed like Nolan got inspired by Mel Gibson, here. Good for Tom Hardy tough. I also would like to get a few million Dollars for watching left and right. Im disappointed on so many levels.",1 "Bland. Bland, bland, bland. After an incredibly promising first episode, the series seems to completely give up. The plot is paper-thin and stretched to hilarious lengths (this could've been a two-hour movie and you'd miss absolutely nothing); the super soldier serum is reduced to something that makes you only slightly stronger than a normal human, retconning Bucky into a supremely underpowered sidekick; the dialogue borders on cringe often and is cliche at all times; the villain's motivation is completely incomprehensible; plot lines are dropped on a whim. It's a mess. And worst of all: it's boring. It plays it safe on all levels, the stakes are irrelevant and it just kind of happens. Try harder, Marvel.",5 "Ostensibly this is an example of excellence in film entertainment with leading actors, proven quality in all the technical areas and professional talent executed throughout. However, the certainty of this judgement doesn't fit with the experience of the film. The film is pleasant visually but the story is a hackneyed piece of stale Cold War espionage - replete with Russkie accents straight out of Get Smart; that 1960s parody of all Cold War spy movies. The movie pivots between sex, physical pain and some lengthy explanation to move onto the next phase in its structure. But even with an updated, more candid, sexual angle which is about as erotic as a week old fish in St Petersburg's Kuznechny Market, the pulse barely rises. The rhythm of the narrative lurches between dull but necessary plot exposition/transition episodes through to the deliberate fulfillment of the plan. The plotting demands acceptance of the incredible, of the nearly miraculous strategic mental capabilities of the protagonist. The apparent complexity to the plot is intended to add layers of intrigue; hey, it's a spy movie after all, but it actually loads the finished product with reams of material that is a dead weight. Like so many movies of its ilk it has to deliver a trick, yet another twist, which may surprise and excite a goldfish, but otherwise looks strained, exhausted and unfulfilling. The question arises whether the Russians ever made similar espionage movies and the answer is, they didn't. They didn't innovate and were still beating Nazis while Westerners were being made familiar with the tropes of this genre over 50 years ago. By now it is a certainty that some innovation is way past overdue in the West.",3 "Disliked this along with everything else in the JK franchise. I just do not get any of that world. I was so bored, i had to walk out of screening.",1 "This movie in my opinion was kinda all over the place, and quite hard to follow. the way its directed makes the movie more boring than exciting, however the scenes that are action packed are amazing. the movie was too long for me and i lost my attention for it. I'm not the biggest fan of ""superhero"" movies, i feel that they could have done way more things with the budget of the film. The part that's good is Christian bale is a good batman and heath ledger made a killer joker. if you're a die hard batman fan, this is a must watch. Maggie Gyenhall is quite annoying, i feel like her character was irrelevant and did not contribute to the movie plot as much as she could have.",4 "This is surprisingly a very good show. If you can handle the blood, it's really impressive what they've done with a super obscure Marvel character. Highly recommend to anyone who likes Deadpool, it's definitely that style of comedy/action.",8 "A little late to the party, but I finally watched the first season of this show to catch up with marvel beloved characters. First thought that came to mind, is that it full of reapofs from other IPs. For example the Karli character is a clear ripoff from Han Solo movie, played even by the same actress. Though in this case they ""eviled"" her up. Without going into spoilers, the power broker is almost exactly the same as shadow broker from video games Mass Effect trilogy (yes, even the name is similar). When a positive character became an underground boss. While the games actually keep the character on the good side of grey, the series simplified it to the simple good\bad scenario. That created a pleathora of plot holes, but never the less it was fun enough to watch. This show is better than other marvel shows, but all in all, even the beloved characters can't keep the show on the same level as Marvel movies, aside from few very notable exceptions, such as as Cpt. Marvel or Eternals. Wouldn't watch it twice, but once is good enough.",5 "Well, if you want to watch an action movie and not interested in story line or anything, that's the movie you wanna watch. It's pure 2 hours of action. There are explosions, killings, fights, drive scenes and all that stuffs. And basically, that's all it has. There is no good story, there is stupid character development(everybody changes in a second), bad dialogues. Action movies are fun when there is some logic, realism and good story. This has none of them.",5 "Matt Murdock lives in Hell's Kitchen (NYC), where he was born & bred. As a kid, Matt learned he had no choice but to grow up tough. From the dangers of just walking down the street, to seeing his father fight battles in the boxing ring,, there wasn't a choice. Life was just tough. Even more so for a kid like Matt,,, One afternoon, Matt sees an old man about to be hit by a truck while crossing the street. Reacting out of instinct, Matt rushes over abd pushes the man out of the way. Miraculously enough, the truck doesn't hit Matt in the process,, but a barrell of the chemicals the truck was carrying does fall from the truck. The barrell cap comes loose and the chemicals spray Matt in the face, seeping into his eyes. Within moments,, Matt loses his sight,,, permanently. Fast forward to present day. Matt is now a lawyer just starting out in his practice, with his friend / colleague Foggy Nelson. To the outside world, Matt is a blind lawyer who lives a fairly ordinary life in the the big city. However,, Matt Murdock is anything but ordinary. At night, Matt dawns a disguise and prowls the streets and rooftops as the vigilante known as Daredevil (well,, that's what they eventually call him). What a series!! Netflix got this one right! Cox is Matt Murdock/Daredevil. I'd only seen him in one crappy movie before this,, so I didn't know how he'd do. My worries were quickly put to rest. He's incredible. Karen and Foggy couldn't have been cast more perfectly, imo. So good, both of them. D'Nofrio as the KingPin? Genius move by casting. He's so good at bringing depth to every character he plays. He made Fisk so much more than just the bad guy. If you want to watch something gritty that you will become invested in,, this is one to watch.",8 "Watching episode 10 and season 3 is not that bad as people make it to be. We get to know everyone on a more personal level and their back stories. Ani might be annoying sometimes but I think the idea to bring a character who is not biased and can't tell the story impartially is great. Some stories are a bit unrealistic but I think it's a step up from season 2, which just repeated season 1.",8 "This is a terrible, terrible movie. Like Ryan Reynolds a lot but this was bad bad bad. Senseless violence and action. No story. Wow I wish I had the time back.",3 It's not made on high budget but the story characters are too addictive. Literally this is best movie in Bollywood made in last 18 years(2018).it has still the same feeling as watching it first time. Anurag Kashyap is currently the best director in Bollywood.,10 "Unlike the cliche horror films that come out these days where there is a lurking supernatural entity that pops up for jump scares, this film is able to capture multiple unsettling and disturbing scenes. The ending of the film leaves you with processing all the events leading up to as soon as the credits start rolling. Although the horror in this film can be quite uncomfortable, this is due to the gore and intensity of the scenes. If you are not a fan of that, I would stay away, but if you're anything like me, these scenes enhance the mood and create that 'heart in mouth' feeling you have, when you finally take that breathe after a confronting and intense scene. This is a must watch if you like horror movies that aren't the typical garbage we tend to see coming out these days, excited to see how this performs once released publicly worldwide.",8 "This movie is kinda a blatent rip off of the happening with Mark Whalberg which is a terrible movie. And for all those saying its not. Birdbox the book came out in 2014 that movie came out in 2008. To be honest the only reason this movie garnered any attention is because it is now the ""brave"" thing to do (covering suicide in movies and tv). This movie is pretty forgettable",5 I dont know why pepoles like this movie.movie is completely cinematic nothing to hype and nothing to be proud to soliders in it. I am not solider but no any soliders do like this much cinematic victory itz completly cinematic film not a biographic.rating only for cinemateography,3 "This is not a good film, i can't imagine the reviews rating this highly actually enjoyed it rather than desperately seeking to fit in with the in crowd. I honestly believe if this was filmed in colour it's ratings would be 'on the rocks'. This is not about descent into madness, there is no descent. 15 minutes in and everyone is as mad as a box of frogs. No stress, no confusion no battle to keep a grip on reality just an instant embracing of lunacy, which is as dull as it is unrealistic. The characters have no substance, no back story, no personality. It becomes a selection of random scenes and images in short order, somewhat akin to Twin Peaks, but Twin Peaks maintains twisted cohesion, it reflects metaphor and symobolism in it's images, it tantalises, it's as clever and artful as it is weird. This has none of that, it's a dull procession of pointless predictable scenes. But it's in black and white so *looks around at room* it's cool right? If you're a normal average film watcher avoid at all costs, you'll regret it. If you're someone who enjoys psychology or art in any of it's forms avoid at all costs, you'll regret it. If you like to drink starbucks coffee whilst watching drake videos on your Macbook, whilst simultaneously pretending to read the guardian then this is probably for you.",2 "The Fabelmans are a middle-class Jewish family living in various cities in the middle of the 20th century. Steven Spielberg's film about them centers on the conflict between artistic drive and personal responsibility, as well as the mysteries of talent and happiness. Where do these gifts come from? It's not just in the genes, the psyche, the conditioning, or the trauma. It's mysterious. It arrives out of nowhere like the shark in ""Jaws,"" the UFOs in ""Close Encounters of the Third Kind,"" the miracles and disasters of ""War of the Worlds"" and the Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park movies, and the eruptions of gore and cruelty in Spielberg's R-rated historical epics. Sammy's Uncle Boris (Judd Hirsch), a circus performer and storyteller, lays it out for him one night: people who know that they have talent must commit to it, not waste it; but the more fiercely they commit, the more they may neglect their loved ones, or feel as if they are (which can induce guilt). This conflict will wrestle inside an artist forever. From an early age, Sammy figures out-or perhaps instinctively knows-that a camera can be used not merely to tell stories and make pretty pictures, but win friends; placate or manipulate enemies; woo prospective romantic partners; glamorize and humiliate; show people a better self that they could aspire to become; shield the artist against hurt during painful moments; smooth out or obstruct the truth, and blatantly lie. In the end, it all comes back to people figuring out who they are and then deciding whether to fully commit to the course they think will bring them the most happiness. That the movie leaves deep questions unresolved and presents all the related philosophical and aesthetic issues in a playful way (the final shot is a sight gag!) makes the experience quintessential Spielberg. You think he's giving you everything and that it's all right there on the surface. But the longer you sit with it, the more you realize how many gifts it contains. Much of the film is told in long takes that don't feel show-offy because Spielberg's blocking is always in service of deepening characters and illustrating themes. Just look at that opening scene outside of the movie theater, which ends with young Sammy silhouetted in the middle of the frame: a human dividing line, with his father (who speaks of cinema in terms of photography and persistence of vision) on one side and his mother (who tells him movies are mainly about feelings and dreaming) on the other.",10 "Trapped in a strange place between reality and fiction, the viewer stays in a strange purgatory awaiting to understand how the separate story lines come together. However, the story lines never really intertwine and you're left wondering what exactly the film was about. Good performances and an all-star cast distract you from the lack of a strong plot.",6 "If you consider the whole ""Harry Potter"" franchise as an extended ""coming-of-age"" story, like I always have, we have indeed arrived at the final stage. Childhood is a distant memory. Puberty is long gone. Adolescence is coming to an end, and adulthood is knocking at the gates. And with age and increasing magic powers also comes greater responsibility, especially since mentor and almighty Hogwarts principal Dumbledore cowardly got murdered at the end of ""The Half-Blood Prince"", and Harry - with the help of Ron and Hermione, of course - must continue the search for Horcruxes. ""The Deathly Hallows, Part I"" is - as usual - a formidable fantasy adventure, and the seventh terrific Harry Potter movie in a row. The tone and atmosphere still become darker, the arguing between the young lovers becomes more bitter, and the high body count proves this is as much a movie for adults as for children. But what I personally appreciated most about this entry, is J. K. Rowling's addition of a dystopian aspect. With Voldemort growing more and more powerful again, his bad influence and authority spread further. The minister of magic is murdered and strategically replaced by one of Voldemort's minions, Hogwarts gets a dark new leader, half-blood families must fear for their lives, and even that hateful Dolores Umbridge is reinstated. If they don't stop The Dark Lord in time, Harry and his friends grow old in a totalitarian state! Admittedly the whole middle-section, with the youthful trio running around in the woods, is a bit overlong and easily could have been cut here and there, but the grimly animated and tremendously atmospheric narrated tale of the titular ""Deathly Hallows"" compensates for a lot! That segment is, hands down, one of the highlights of the entire franchise. Can't wait for the grand finale in Part II, and my two children (aged 13 and 8) neither!",8 "If action is what your after, look no further - lite plot but great entertainment",7 "RDJ acting 10/10, interesting story 10/10, Senseless villain 1/10",7 "Very good acting from the leads. This show could have been great if it had stayed cinematic and classy like something on Netflix or HBO instead of descending into cheesy late night CBS-type CSI. (I didn't know until later that was made for NBC, which explains everything.) The first episode had potential. The second episode crashed and burned with the characters continuously examining ridiculous crime scenes. Dramatic music over a scene of victims killed by being turned into mushroom farms and kept alive with tubes under ground. (Insert cheesy investigator talking to our lead about how the killer used mushrooms to symbolize something.) Can't believe this has the high score it does.",3 "Most jokes fell flat. Sandler and his character are unimpressive, Aniston was ok. Plot was cute and entertaining, definitely not winning any awards.",5 "What did I just watch? The only reason I even gave this movie a 3 was for the production design and cinematography. The writing was-dare I say-boring. And confusing. If it was supposed to be an homage to 60's Hollywood, it completely missed its mark. It was three mismatched tales badly stitched together against a backdrop of the infamous Manson murders, and none of the storylines really worked. It was if QT were just rambling on, filling a notebook with ideas for scenes and not bothering to see if they told a story or not. Imagine taking 1000 pieces from ten jigsaw puzzles and trying to scotch-tape them together to form a picture. That's what this film was. And, Leo, if you happen to read this, please don't ever try to do a southern drawl ever again.",3 "I give this a five only because Lady Gaga turns in a heartwarming performance. Her singing and acting are beautiful to watch. On the other hand Bradley Cooper has the onerous job of playing a self-absorbed, deeply troubled old rock star. Not that he fails to do it well, but that it drags the movie into a painfully drug out tale of a loser. A good half hour could have been cut out of this part. And then the chemistry just isn't there. Gaga, a vivacious, smart, talented young woman, falls for a guy so stuck on himself he can hardly talk in full sentences. The music was great, but the story line grew more and more painful to watch.",5 "Well you just have to bear the starting a little bit apart from that it got me truly and completely. Surprised, shocked, loved but most of all i cared which it deserved . I was surprised to sync in so much after the first 3 episodes and the twists and turn will keep you in for a ride .",9 "As other reviewers have mentioned, the first few episodes of this series is AMAZING but becomes poorly contrived towards the end (not just the final episode but about halfway through). By episode 3, I thought this was the best, most thrilling series I had seen in a long time, but by 5, I was ready for it to end. Richard Madden does an incredible acting job (and those looks don't hurt). SOMEWHAT SPOILER: The twist ending made the whole series feel cheap.",7 "Season 1 was incredible. Season 2 after was passable, but not nearly as good. But season 3 however, it almost feels like a parody, everything about it is just off and it so blatantly misses what made the first season great.",5 "Completely wasting for time and money, I expect this movie will be the best Marvel's movie but it was the worst.",2 "It's as tho Sandler & Aniston are a one- hit-wonder. They have 'one song' which they play over & over again... the same formulaic acting style which they just repeat in each successive movie. Their continued popularity is bewildering. I presume when one is in a position to produce their own films, then the 'song' can just be set to incessantly replay. This movie is a poor remake of almost any one of Dame Agatha Christie's novels and plays, which later became films. However, the rest of the cast demonstrates a high level of talent. A better use of time would be to seek out other performances by Luke Evans, Dany Boon, Luis Gerardo Mendez, David Walliams, Gemma Arterton, and the exceptional and diverse Terence Stamp.",3 Simply awesome 😁 best movie of mine .. by watching this movie i came to know about the importance of digs how lovely and caring they are and also very faithful ..thnku to everyone who has contributed and participated to bring this masterpiece in the world.,10 "The whole new world and mysterious adventure of Super heros. No one would ever imagine that it's happening. In this trending Heroism world, this is something more. You loves super heros, yeah then go for this cheerful and hilariously surprising show. It won't bore you, it will cheer you at the end of each episode. Now not giving the spoilers but imagine what if all the superheros are cringe and devil from inside? Yeah sounds interesting huhhh.....",9 "The Good: Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston have great chemistry. They create a great love-hate relationship of a buddy cop movie with an older experienced mentor and the anti-hero new recruit. The opening episodes catch the attention. The 1950s office flavor creates a great juxposition with futuristic and fantasy world building. The Bad: Mobius and Loki's friendship development is jettisoned for a quasi-romance that really doesn't work. Worse yet, Loki starts to act more like Tom Hiddleston than the character and the transformation in character isn't adequately explained. The Ugly: The ending is not really an ending. Instead it is a hook for Marvel to make more money.",5 "1st season was alright, second meh I thought 3rd was bad, but boy! The 4th one is absolutely impossible to watch Such a lame story and the way its been written Please please do not continue this series anymore!!! Its just getting from bad to worse and to impossible to watch Such a waste of time",3 I am currently watching Season 2 on Roku. This will be it for me. 5 commercials every 10 minutes. Good show but not worth the aggravation. So disappointing.,1 "no kidding. he is in charity event with lots of rich people. yet no CCTV or whatsoever that could be use to identify the shooter. no quarantine or whatsoever to check all the visitors. how the hell he lose money so fast also doesn't make any sense. how suddenly he train like newbie despite the fact he is 3 title champion. i hate movie like this. it has logical fallacy everywhere. how the hell this movie got 7.5 also don't make any sense. ah, f it. no kidding. he is in charity event with lots of rich people. yet no CCTV or whatsoever that could be use to identify the shooter. no kidding. he is in charity event with lots of rich people. yet no CCTV or whatsoever that could be use to identify the shooter.",4 "While the series is engaging, the the number of plot twists and the degree of melodrama all packed into a 24hr period makes it rather unrealistic and makes the story difficult to believe.",4 "Tamil movies are always great, they proved it again in this movie. Great storyline doesn't bore anywhere.",9 "I was 10 in 1980, which makes me very happy to say, because now I'm almost 50 and still can feel the emotions when I watch E.T. or Empire Strikes back, or Polterguist. I could give a crap about the accolades that Netfix receives. I wanted to write a comment because how much I loved the first season. Teenagers, mystery, explorer's, the imagination of kids back then were not left to devises and video games (sure I had Nintendo) but being young and having D&D parties with domino's pizza breath and braces. Adventure of the mind and a good bicycle. The kids in this show are excellent actors. Ryder and Harbour are good at making it feel as real for adults, and sadness with tears of joy and heartache. All around an excellent show. I'm gearing up for Halloween on Thursday with season two. Oh the girl, Millie Bobby Brown, my God is she a powerhouse of little words, and screams that give me the chills. Scary show at times, and funny. Great cast. Great tv.",8 Must watch movie. Karthi did phenomenal performance Music and cinematography great,10 Best way to start the year.. Uri the movie.. Awesome.. 👌👍,10 "If you like to see people falling off tall buildings, this movie is for you. An endless opening chase scene accompanied with loud & annoying music. Watched the whole thing because I had beer. Can't believe Ryan Reynolds did this. Melanie Laurent is hot though.",6 "Although Adam,Aziraphael,Crowley and Newton Pulsifer were perfectly cast,I really didn't think that the atmosphere created by the adaptation was anything like the book. I bought the book when it first came out and I lent it out so often I had to replace it many times.It remains one of my favourite reads.",6 I have never reviewed any movies but this movie was so incredibly bad that I signed up to IMDB to leave this review. Do not spend an hour and a half of your life on this,1 "With Oscar Isaac, Ethan Hawke, F. Murray Abraham and May Calamawy, Moon Knight certainly has unbelievably talented acting. The story is mysterious and compelling. It's too bad all of the good stuff was ruined by unwatchable underexposed film grading. This show is so dark and under exposed, the whole screen looked like nothing but a black rectangle most of the time. After switching from my vintage 2019 TV to my 2021 12.9"" iPad Pro (which Apple says has one of the brightest displays available) and also sitting in a pitch dark room, the black rectangle occasionally showed something that looked like a face. My girlfriend just got up and left the room during the middle of the fourth episode. She said, ""I'm not wasting my time on this. It's so dark I have no idea what's happening."" After trying to watch the show on various different screens, I too gave up during the fourth episode. We weren't alone. Talking to work friends, they all said the same thing. ""The screen was so dark, I couldn't tell what was going on and just started watching something else."" Film studios, your customers watch on phones, tablets, laptops and five year old standard HD TV's. They don't have the expensive reference HDR displays and projection rooms that you watch in. It is vitally important your final proofs are done on the same displays your viewers will be using. It's too bad. I really wanted to watch this. But there's no point watching something you can't see.",3 "Full disclosure I gave up after episode 2: Tim Burton has completely missed the point of The Addams Family (unsurprisingly, given his last 15-20 years of output). Instead of a satire on the American nuclear family, this was a turgid, try-hard, humourless trudge through the most tedious mall-goth clichés. The whole thing is just absolutely charmless, despite honestly decent performances all round. No amount of capable acting and genuinely inspired casting can compensate for the dreadful dialogue and extremely overdone concept. If you're an adult, you'll only like this if you also like those witless slogan t-shirts that say stuff like ""normal people scare me"" or ""I'll stop wearing black when they invent a darker colour"". However, I can see how young teenagers would enjoy this, the same way that they would enjoy the aforementioned slogan t-shirts and base their personality around ""being a Slytherin""",2 This film is terrible perhaps the worst war film I have ever seen,1 "This was really bad writing, there is a wave of writing that's trying to be provocative by giving less than desirable endings. So they forced situations and conclusions that were unrealistic as well as undesirable. Also the series did nothing for those whom are contemplating suicide or are the victims of sexual assault. Initially I cared about the characters and there stories now I just hope they quit now. The adding of things that were never hinted at in the first series was distracting. The reaction of some of Bryce's supporters was over the top. I will chose to act as if season 2 doesn't exist.",5 "Started off pretty promising. Definitely had its moments. Great production value. However, overall a total mess due to terrible script writing. Overly politicized, unclear what scenes are flashbacks or not, terrible jokes. Not my cup of tea. I can definitely see why some people might like it more than me, but not deserving of it's high rating.",6 "Not having seen the first film I'm unable to define how bad or good this one connects to it. From what I do know of it, the lead character is still pretty much the same - thinking with his belly, not completely help- and clueless but almost there, but still a hero. Either way this film starts with an old enemy of Po rearing its ugly head and Po being called in to protect the citizens from him. Story wise there's nothing too fancy about this film - it's all been done before. It doesn't affect the film negatively though, it's an animation film designed to please kids and their parents and it does that. Animation wise I must say I was pleased by the colour scheme. It gives a radiant hum. The details in the background are just high enough as well, and the added 3D effects aren't wasted (though they can be missed without missing out on anything of the film). The character development may go a little over the heads of the kids - but I didn't see any of that bother the kid I had with me. So, all in all, enjoyable for kids and parents. 7 out of 10 Pandas behaving fiercely",7 "In the middle of the night, the young couple pushed the baby carriage to watch the activity. The wind blew the polluted dust in the moving air to the crowd. The children played in the dust. The girl watched the explosion and praised the beauty. It's not a horror movie, but it makes my back feel cold.",7 "This is a mini-series that I checked out since I'm still out to catch up on all the Marvel properties. I wasn't going to watch the shows as it just seemed to be too much. What changed my mind was that while feeding my daughter, who is a newborn, these are easy to put on and follow without taking up too more of my time. What confused me coming in was that to my understanding, Vision (Paul Bettany) was dead. That is still the case. There is a reason that he is now on this sitcom with his wife, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). I like what is behind this, why they are going through different sitcoms through the decades and the larger implications to the Marvel Universe. Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) is a character that I forgot about, but I like how she incorporates back in. She also might now have superpowers herself. That isn't the only universe pulled in. Jimmy Woo (Randall Park) who works with FBI and we even get a sighting of Dr. Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings). This even finally pulls in the X-Men universe with this version of Quicksilver aka Pietro Maximoff (Evan Peters). There are Easter Eggs here that were interesting and what the implications are by the end of the run, I'm intrigued to how this one plays in with the movies. I do think that this is well-made. It didn't need to be the long that it is, but I understand what Disney is doing and getting more people to tune in. The cinematography is good. We get vibes of Pleasantville and I like what why we get the different decades of sitcoms. I should bring up we get a cameo by Debra Jo Rupp, who I love. We also get Kathryn Hahn as a character named Agnes. How she fits was interesting too. I did enjoy my time with this and that's all I ask. My Rating: 6.5 out of 10.",7 "BBC's Sherlock is the best thing to hit television in years. Where the latest film releases of the Sherlock franchise were Jack Sparrow vs. Batman and a lot of explosives put together in a likable visual package the 2010 BBC series Sherlock is an engaging, unique yet traditional, detective drama. Likable characters, interesting cases, intelligent plot, high production value and relatability make this series something we will enjoy for many years to come. Both Sherlock and Dr. Watson are played to perfection. Martin Freeman (Watson) is both likable and relatable and an excellent counter-character against the raging intelligence train that is Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock. Never before has Sherlock Holmes been portrayed in such a thrilling, interesting and engaging way. My hopes for this series are high and it deserves a great deal of attention.",9 "Hoppers behavior made this hard to watch. I love this show with my whole heart. The actors are amazing! I am studying to become a Marriage and relationship therapist. To see behavior like this makes me so angry. To see Nancy get treated like that made me angry. Nobody. Male, female, animal should be treated that way. I wanted to slap him so friggen hard.",8 The movie is unlike its precursors unamusing and dull.,3 "This movie is trully underwhelming. For starters, it's incredibly slow. You get thrown into this universe you are supposed to enjoy, which I really don't. You are supposed to somehow process so much information and keep it for later it makes the whole movie like a game, you find clues along the way. It all feels scripted. It is way too long and is only exciting for two periods, first half way in the movie and secondly when the protagonist realizes who the Zodiac is. It's like they rely on you knowing that the movie is based on a real story to make it somewhat interesting. Not even the ending is exciting. I thought that this kind of a movie would be a thriller but I watched the movie and I realize why it doesn't. There are some nice shots though and with some good acting. 5/10.",5 I thought emo batman was bad until I watched this. Story is bland and dull. I was really looking forward for this movie and had high hopes. The only thing that was interesting is other characters in those other universes. I hope we can see our favorite heroes return.,3 up until this time my favorite movie had been grandmas boy.but after seeing superbad i realized that i have a new favorite.i really liked the relationships between the characters and how much fun it was to watch them go through all the events they go through.if you liked knocked up you'll love this movie.i really liked how it was written and i am sure that it will be the funniest movie of the year.if you are not into dirty comedies or are easily offended i would recommend you stay away from this movie.but if your like me i'm sure you'll think superbad is really great.i'd like to see more movies written by Seth rogen and Evan Goldberg in the future.,10 "I really enjoyed this dark satire the superhero genre. Fantastic characters and darkly hilarious situations. It definitely is not for the faint of heart. At times, it felt like the writers were competing to see who could come up with something more disgustingly gruesome or bizarrely sexual. The actors all seem game, with Antony Starr as Homelander eclipsing them all. Season 1 was an especially fun romp; season 2 leaned darker and meaner, which made it more interesting, but also less fun. Looking forward to season 3.",9 "This is indeed not something common. This show is crazy!! Crazy plot,crazy characters..I got bored in the first two episodes but somehow in managed to continue watching and it turned out to be good decision.this show is addictive,once you start you can't help it but finish the show in one go.the story and the way it is executed is insane,the dialogues which go on playing in the minds of James and allysa makes it more fun to watch.The way James character behavior changes through out the journey was quite convincing.The way story focuses on the mental health is appreciable. But still it gets boring and slow at many places.",7 "I think that this movie is neither close to deserved to be in this ranking, #176 in the most prestigious list of movies from all times ""top 250"", with a rating of 8,1. In mi opinion this movie deserved to be in the worst 250 movies that i have seen. Doubtlessly that the amazing rating that the movie has make me great expectations, but never i had felt so disappointed. I didn't care if was a slow movie, but also is a movie that isn't well obtained. I believe that the idea got a great potential, it would be possible make a very good movie. In ""there will be blood"" the do not obtain to catch your attention, they do not obtained insert you in their drama. In order to finish i like to reiterate that in mi opinion this movie didn't deserved to be in so yearned for list.",4 "I just couldn't get into this show. I tried, but I think it was released right after GOT, and anything short of AMAZING was probably not going to peak my interest. Perhaps, this was poor timing on when the show released, or perhaps I'm being unfair. Either way, if I stop watching after a couple episodes, my gut says it's not a great show. Perhaps this is a good show for people who are into other kinds of sci-fi / fantasy than myself? ¯\_(""~)_/¯",2 "When I first heard of a sequel to Fantastic Beasts, I was pumped. After the first trailer, skeptical. Now, after watching the film, I can justify my skepticism. The plot starts out fine but the writing can come out as messy or even rushed at times and sounds like it was made by a robot who didn't know what emotion was. It tries to make up for this by showing off the big- buffet effects it has to offer but ends up feeling like a bit of a disappointment.",5 "Good Omens 1 was great. It was clever, very well acted and very very funny. I would go as far as to say, it was exceptional. Whatever the hell went wrong in the writing and the casting for Good Omens 2 should have been picked up long before it blighted our screens. What passes for humour in the second instalment misses the mark every single time. It doesn't help that the writers cast the least funny actors available this time around and whereas the focus before was on playing the two leads off against one another, they appear to have stretched an obviously limited budget for the sole purpose of shoe-horning as many second rate actors in as possible. The net effect is a very watered down, lacklustre, unfunny and not very entertaining show at all. What is it about some writers that they just cannot hold it together for longer than one season?! It's not as if it was a hard thing to do: they already had a winning formula, but some people just cannot help trying to ""fix"" things that weren't broken to begin with, I was looking forward to Good Omens 2 and I couldn't stomach watching it all the way through; it was already tedious halfway through episode 1 and eye-rolling with it's virtue signalling. Nauseating I would say. Avoid.",1 "I really enjoy the storyline and the creativity of this show. It is was keeps me coming back to watch the next episode. However, there is one thing that separates this show from other great shows. In my opinion, there are not enough ""likeable"" characters in this show. I can't seem to find myself REALLY rooting for any character. Clearly, Hughey is the character that we are supposed to be ""rooting"" for. But as I progress through the show, I find myself rooting for him less and less. I don't know if this is just my take on the show, or does anybody else agree? I still give this an 8/10. Don't get me wrong, it's a good show.",8 "As this show has many fans, many of them will hate me for this review, but in a way this is just yet another '...someone made me feel hurt - now I have the right to destroy his/her/their lives and am still not ready to take responsibility for my own part in how it came to this!' story like we have to endure so many these days. Obviously standing up for oneself, to openly confront people with their 'misbehavior' or seeking help and actually going through with it until the matter is completely resolved is too challenging for some members of the fashionista Instagram generation. In that, the show can actually act as an interesting psychological experiment: while watching, ask yourself: how could she have resolved all these challenges *in time* and in a more constructive manner than she actually did?",2 "I went to this because Adaptation was one of my favorites of 2002 & it's rare that a US movie engages me. If you go to Hollywood movies all the time, then you might find the way in which this story is told to be engaging enough to distract you from the film's lack of content. But if you're a more seasoned film buff, you'll probably find this one-trick wonder to be a bit of a bore. The film falls apart under the weight of its own slickness. About 1/2 way through the film, when the film became nothing more than Carey trying to evade the ""erasers"" in his mind, I was paying more attention to how bad the acting was. Mark Ruffalo & Kirsten Dunst are particularly bad. So if there's nothing but Hollywood fare available you might check it out, but otherwise save your $$$.",6 "A lot of commenters are trashing this movie for no obvious reason. I thought it was pretty good. Jennifer Lawrence was quite good, whether she completely mastered a Russian accent or not. Good work as well by Charlotte Rampling, Joely Richardson, and Mary-Louise Parker. Lawrence's character, Dominika, was passionate, but highly controlled, and came off quite stoic. This makes sense for someone who could rise to a high level in world-class ballet.",8 "In one sense, this film was more inevitable than Thanos. What do you get when you're part of a society that fuels existential crises, by constantly eroding definitions and structures? Barbie and Ken aren't exactly human (they don't even have genitals); they're embodied ideas, and so they face this amorphous crisis of identity that pits their presuppositional views of a happy society against that of the ""real world."" But their perception of the real world is like seeing a plane for the first time and therefore thinking it's a dragon. So how much can an audience glean from the pontifications of characters who are essentially children? I would have greatly preferred scriptwriters more well-versed in sociology as well as comedy, writers who understand not only American ideals, and how those ideals have shifted, but the role that Barbie has played along the way. I get the sense that the writers here just KNOW Barbie had some impact, without really understanding much beyond that. There was so much to explore, and it could have been shown situationally, rather than through heavy-handed exposition. Off-screen, apparently Ken had some interesting realizations about his misunderstandings of patriarchy, and Barbie had some realizations about how she treated Ken, but we don't get to see any of this nuance actually played out. Hugely missed opportunities there. Bottom line: As fantastic as Robbie and Gosling were, I wish this movie just didn't exist. Keep the cast, but try again with a much better script and director.",3 "I really got into this show because of the main story on season one. Season 2 turned out to be a complete disappointment. Supposedly here they wanna encourage teenagers/ abused girls or kids who had been bully to speak up... but after watching this I don't really see how can they transmit that message where all they showed was how the law and authorities didn't do enough to the aggressors, and how they all got away. Leaving the victims broken and without any justice. I wouldn't. So no I'm sorry but not a good message.",1 WHAT AN AMAZING FILM!!! CANT DESCRIBE IT IN WORDS AT ALL! It was incredible! I salute to all the soldiers! Absolutely speechless.MUST WATCH,10 "Why do superheroes always know what they have to do? What if they're simply clueless kids? A mighty wizard has captured the seven deadly sins and has been keeping them. However, he is growing old and needs to hand over his powers to a replacement to control the sins. He is a little too late, and someone unworthy takes hold of the powers of the sins. At last, he makes Billy his descendant without much instruction who as a kid tries to get used to the superhero life. There is a comical twist. He turns into an adult when he wants to use his powers and can also turn back. He just needs to say Shazam. This leads to some comical scenes of a clueless kid getting to know a special life. Of course all of this until the supervillain starts chasing after him... It was from time to time entertaining but on the other hand it was also pretty generic and boring. The villain was just super generic without a real threat or meaningless objectives and Shazam's powers are also super generic. It is also so illogical. The wizard spent years searching for the worthy, and then he just randomly gives his powers to Billy without testing him and without giving him any instructions. And then Billy just randomly gives powers to 5 more kids without any testing and didn't lose his own. And then there is so much else that is so weird. But I'm not going to go on with it. So yeah, it was entertaining at the beginning but not really a good superhero movie.",5 The show continues to skimp on infected scenes and instead is focusing on human interactions that are not from the game. It appears they want to save money by not paying for CGI infected in the show. The game was great and the show did a good job following the game until it didn't. Story is changing for no reason and the raiders back story in Kansas City was unnecessary and lazily developed. I will finish the series but hope to see more infected than I have through the first 6 episodes. HBO should be able to do better with all the revenue they get from their subscription services. Hopefully it gets better.,6 an angry and seemingly sleep-deprived Keanu Reeves is running around and shooting pack of disoriented bad guys in the head. that's pretty much it with some rather lame dialogue in between. someone please kick this movie back to the 80's where it belongs. Sylvester Stallone should get some royalties from this one.,4 "There is so much to like with this series. The storylines are awesome and are relevant to what kids are going through right now. Season 3 was not so good, basically boring, but all of the other seasons were great. Season 4 I think, is the best acted season of the whole series. The character Ani is worthless however. She adds nothing, and her acting is terrible. She is basically an add-on who does nothing to develop the storyline. However, Alex (Miles Heizer) and Tyler (Devin Druid) basically carry season 4. They are such good actors. To sum it up, I love this show, but they had actors/actresses that were not needed, and/or were just annoying. I wish they would have just concentrated on the main characters and dismissed all of the other stuff. So silly.",8 "My parents had rented this show because they heard it was good, and there was nothing on T.V., so I decided to watch it with them. And oh my gosh, I couldn't stop watching! It was so good. I needed to know what happened next every single episode, so now, I'm addicted. It's like a roller coaster: it has many twists and turns, you never know what'll happen next, thrilling, exiting, and fun. The story is supposed to be in real time. Each episode is 1 hour, each season has 24 episodes, so one season is supposed to be 1 day. What happens is Jack Bauer, who works for CTU, finds out that his daughter had been kidnapped. He'll do anything to save her, and, well, you'll see what happens. (This is the plot for season 1) Trust me, you won't be able to take your eyes off of the screen.",9 "A brilliant take on a tragic incident and the revenge extracted by the Indian army. This movie is sleek, sans the typical bollywood masala/potpourri. Screenplay is very well executed. Kudos to the actors (even the child artists) for essaying their role to perfection. Efforts to replicate the mannerisms of real life characters, adds to the touch of believability. Brilliant background score!",10 "On the one hand, the great hero of the century in cinema, 'Amitabh Bachchan Sir' and in Marathi cinema, the name that is taken with respect is 'Nagraj Manjule Sir'. The combination of these two superheroes is a movie that has never been seen before in the history of Bollywood. This is a movie to be sent for Oscar which will take India's name to great heights.",10 "The most boring musical to come out besides Rent. Except in Rent they could actually sing. Why do they keep using mediocre singers? Oh ya, use big box office actors to get people's attention. It's all about money, and not quality. Take me back to the 40's and 50's musicals, or at least Moulin Rouge and Chicago where all the big time actors COULD sing well.",1 "Season one was OK. But season 2 was pathetic. I wonder what's the reason behind the absurd high ratings. If I could give back, Ill say all the choicest words back to the producers and the actors: gandu, maderchod, bhenchod. The plot was weak and absurd. The end even worse. The main lead was worse than an eunuch. I had the privilege of downloading the series. so that helped me fast forward. I made best use of it. I don't even understand as to why season 2 was made. The script, story and screenplay was pathetic. I hope they done come back with season 3.",1 "Watched one episode and that was enough. Clunky robot and the acting is horrible all the way around. The original was 1000 times better. Don't waste your time. The are better shows to choose from. What did they spend on making this? Really?",2 "Best action film since John wick. Not as emotional but just as gory and action packed. Not so much back ground story on child killer or the guy who wanted the child. Tad weak but that wasn't the story. Tad cringe on some cgi but I can't see anything wrong if you want just scences of death and violence from 2 men. That ending was a rippa",7 "Maneesh Sharma's 'Fan' is quite simply a Terrific Film about passion, dreams & obsession. And Shahrukh Khan, after years, delivers a powerful performance, enacting dual roles with superb conviction. 'Fan' isn't your ordinary Hindi Blockbuster, this one's a dark & heartbreaking tale, told correctly! 'Fan' Synopsis: Gaurav, a huge fan of movie star Aryan Khanna, heads to Mumbai in order to wish his Idol a happy birthday. When things don't go according to plan, Gaurav's obsession with Aryan crosses the line. 'Fan' is dark, racy, heartbreaking & entirely engrossing. You watch the fan-boy struggle to his meet his idol at first, only to later ruin him. Its a twisty tale about passion, dreams & obsession gone too far. The first-hour is light, with some really endearing moments, but its the second-hour, when the narrative gets dark & also a bit disturbing. What works in favor of 'Fan' is its consistently engaging pace & its never-ending pulse. Gaurav's story combines with Aryan & makes for a really unique, gripping experience. Maneesh Sharma's Script is innovative, while Habib Faisal's Screenplay translates it into a terrific film. The Screenplay remains tight almost throughout, with the final 20-minutes taking the film to another level. The journey of its protagonist is told with energy & avoids stereotypical clichés. Also, 'Fan' is a song-less film & not for a minute, do you feel something's lacking. Maneesh Sharma's Direction is very well-done. 'Fan' is his finest film to date & the passion reflects on-screen from start to end. Cinematography is perfect. Editing is crisp, culminating the film within a sharp 140-minutes. Andrea Guerr's Background Score is excellent. Make-Up & VFX are flawless. 'Fan' wouldn't have been half of the film it is, without Shahrukh Khan's performance. The Superstar is in top-form after a long, long time. His portrayal of the fan-boy Gaurav is a marvel. Right form his body-language, his dialogue delivery, his mannerisms & also the way he cries (although some might find his sobbing annoying), is something to be seen. Even as Aryan, the superstar, Shahrukh delvers strongly. Its so good to see Shahrukh doing quality work & involving himself into roles that challenge him. 'Fan' is all about why we love our stars & Shahrukh's Powerful Performance makes us cheer for him once again. A True Comeback Performance! On the whole, 'Fan' is a winner all the way. Its not a typical SRK film, but this is what an SRK film, especially at this point of his career, should be. Don't Miss It!",9 "I'm a sucker for 80s nostalgia, so I was excited when I heard about Stranger Things. The show is a homage to the movies and books of that decade, with references to Stand By Me, The Goonies, E.T., Poltergeist, Nightmare on Elm Street, Alien, Commando, among many others. It's good, thrilling popcorn entertainment that, no, is not the best series ever created, but does the job of keeping you entertained and interested. The one thing I really like about this series is how humanized all the main characters are. You have the four main protagonists, geeky preteen boys who live by the codes of the comic books they read. They communicate on walkie talkies, transport themselves on dirt bikes, snack on pudding, and basically know all the ""secret spots"" of their Anytown USA setting. You have the ""little miss perfect"" older sister who rebels for the first time and dates the popular jock. You have the divorced mother who is barely keeping it together while raising her two sons. You have the older brother who doesn't trust authority. You have the moody cop who hates his current life. Then, of course, you have Eleven (""El""), the superhuman little girl who wants a normal life and some Eggos. The acting is actually very well done and you immediately grow to like all the characters, except maybe the bullies. I do have a few bones to pick. One, some of the writing is weak and not fully flushed out, resulting in stories not going anywhere, some disappearing without notice, and others slightly corny and clichéd, which at times can be charming (this is suppose to be the 80s, after all), and other times eye rolling. Also, some of the action seems anti-climatic, with resolutions seemingly way too easy. The other thing too is the show toes a thin line between homage and plagiarism. I think for the most part it keeps the balance, but some parts it gets dangerously close. I also have some concerns of this going another season. This seems more mini-series than not, but I'm curious as what direction the show will go in the new season. Will it be the same story and characters? Same characters and new story? New stories and new characters? I guess we wait and see. Overall, Netflix put together a great summer series. Heat warming, thrilling, nostalgic, I wish we could find that creativity of Spielberg, King, Craven and Lucas, among others, of the 80s that resulted in some of the most original work out there instead of superhero and remakes over and over.",7 "I love the plot and the cast have a good chemistry, this show is very entertaining. They always bring something new in every episodes. When I watching this show i can rewatch again and again because i love how they're solve the case together and there's a plot twist at the end of episode. The cast have a family chemistry they look so close at each other, this show is very heart warming, especially the older cast always caring the youngest cast just like a they have known for a years. Na PD ideas is out of the box he always bring something new in every veriety show that he made, he's genius. And the cast also genius too.",10 How did this get 8 in rating. Not even over avarage 5.,3 "After watching Fargo, I was left with the same feeling I felt before I watched it; a need to be entertained. Don't take that the wrong way, the movie entertained me, but those entertaining parts were few and far between. Between what? Well, nothing (Nothing as in bland snow-cast lands) And I'll say the movie was awfully long feeling for only being one and a half hours or so. The humor of this comedy if mostly created by those over-exaggerated (I hope) accents. And when everybody else is laughing at that and I felt left out. Lucky for you, you're probably in that 'everybody' category.Other parts were entertaining though, a number seemingly useless actions, shots of funny things we all do once in a while and of course, the all superior chit-chat type of humor. Basically the type of humor Steve Buscemi is known for; the kind I like. But between these glory blessed scenes of humor are a few nice-to-watch action sequences and frankly, quite unentertaining conversations. But where the movie fails the most -- where it could've been made better, is the overall atmosphere. It isn't edgy like 8 Mile or laid-back like Pulp Fiction, it's more along the lines of . . . nothing. Not only that the scenery consists of homey feeling houses and as I said before, snow. Officially, I'm not retiring to Fargo, North Dakota after watching this movie. It seems much too cold and depressing. And while some of the scenes could have been polished up, sped up, or even cut out, the acting is fairly funny and a few characters are good, while others are bland and bad. Steve Buscemi's Carl is of course my favorite character, and the conflicting pair between him and Grimshrud creates a few good jokes. Shep Proudfoot adds a little spice and Marge the expecting cop is nicely done as well. But the rest of the characters just seem to annoy me, especially Jerry Lundegaard. He appeared very self-centered (as he was meant to), and there was nothing to like about him. But somehow he did'nt seems villainous enough to be the bad guy, leaving him looking like neutral/bland character. So in the end, it just seems that Fargo has something bad to bring done each good things it has going for it, thus earning it a nice average 5 out of 10. While my friends seemed enjoy it, I nearly killed myself watching it the second time through. So for me, it is more or less not worth a rent.",5 "I wasn't sure what to expect, however I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I generally don't like the ""dumb humor"" genre, however Superbad was very enjoyable. They really captured the awkward nature of high school situations, while at the same time adding that ""movie magic"" to give it a funny kick. The movie follows a bunch of high school seniors around as they try to organize and prepare for a graduation bash. From getting fake ID's, hooking up with girls, to crashing ""adult"" parties, these guys have quite an adventure! Overall a really great movie that you will surely enjoy. The jokes don't stop until the credits roll, and even then the fun doesn't stop (I wont say why, just watch the movie!). 9 out of 10 stars!",9 "Far from a masterpiece, this three hour meander into overly familiar territory by Martin Scorsese is nothing more than a desperate bid to cling onto old Hollywood patriarchy. Whilst this may seem like a bold claim, it is evident that Scorsese is eager to not only play homage to his career, the stalwarts of his repertoire such as Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, but he is also bidding a reluctant farewell to a bygone era of male, white dominance. Frankly, this narrative does not seem to hold the same weight as when its predecessors dominated screens. This is in part due to the fact that this is a story which has been told to death and executed to perfection, by none other than Scorsese himself, so anything afterwards leaves a trite, tired aftertaste. The result being a dated, irrelevant and tediously meagre imitation, which falls short of any substance due to its lack of paramount significance. The Irishman's story is as expected; a well meaning working man gets in with a mafia boss and starts working his way up the ranks, as a result he starts to suffer the consequences of being involved in such a lifestyle. This has been done countless times within Goodfellas, The Godfather, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Departed, Casino etc. And it goes without saying that every single one of these execute this with a particular perfection that The Irishman cannot capture. Told through a mixture of flashbacks, flash-forwards and present day narration, one would assume that the story would progress, however, these ploys only serve to highlight the flaws which exist even more. The narration by De Niro's main character, Frank, has an air of indolent detachment, and you can almost believe that Scorsese plucked De Niro straight from his own retirement home to narrate. Throughout there is an unshakeable feeling of stale, trodden water, as you watch the events (or lack thereof) occur. Irksomely for the mammoth run-time, there is very little to non existent character development, which leaves one wondering what exactly it is Scorsese has invested his time and effort into. The script is dry, highly unimaginative and frankly superficial especially since characters come and go quicker than Ricky Gervais' being blacklisted from the Golden Globes. The little Italy setting is trite and irrelevant, and feels as though Fat Tony would've been more threatening or at least entertaining. Not to mention women have virtually no role in this film, apart from a moment where Welker White is noted as being the brains behind Al Pacino's Jimmy Hoffa. Anna Paquin has a silent role as the disapproving, passive daughter of Frank, in all that this is meant to speak volumes, her silence is resoundingly symbolic of an industry notorious for shunning women. For the first of the film, we follow Frank in a series of flashbacks, depicting his initial meeting with mafia boss, Russel (Joe Pesci) through to his full integration. It is here where we are led to believe that Frank is ""young"" man, maybe late twenties, if that by the use of CGI de-aging technology. There are plethora of issues with this, including De Niro's detracting soulless eyes, which are severely distracting considering the realism this is supposed to achieve. However, this is indicative of a film completely dead behind the eyes, lacking the heart and soul which made Scorsese a master of a genre he can best now only imitate. The use of this technology highlights a fear to give-way to a changing industry, awoken to the anxieties and issues with multicultural modern society. Context aside, the technology does not do the actors nor the characters any favours. Exemplified in a scene, which I believe will go down in notoriety for how not to execute dramatic action, whereby De Niro threateningly beats a grocery clerk. However this looks as though it was filmed in slow motion and is unforgivably obvious that this is geriatric body struggling yo act with the gumption of a vengeful, twenty something gangster. It is both insulating and startling that in the age of deep fakes, an acclaimed director has billed this as acceptable. Not only does this undermine his reputation, audience's intelligence but it serves to perpetuate the longevity of a hegemonic power. Scorsese could have used younger actors, fresh actors but instead he has stubbornly stuck with ""his"" actors, refusing to give up on an industry crumbling and deteriorating, even forcing Pesci out of retirement to work on the film. Everything feels tired, and stuck in the past, entangled in old Hollywood traditions. Far from playing homage to these great veterans, it has served to undermine them, whether that be De Niro's apathetic performance or Al Pacino's comical over acting. Only Pesci seems to save this, his scenes being the most charismatic of them all. Perhaps this is a sign more than anything else, to let Hollywood patriarchy die.",2 "GOT succeeded because it had great characters and equally great stories as to why they were there. Brilliantly sharp dialogue for even minor characters showed how much effort went into that show. Over the opening series #1 you became invested in these characters because they were interesting and you wanted to know more about them. HOTD has none of this. 4 episodes in it is a dull as dishwater amateur night wannabee which should not be mentioned in the same breath as GOT. They use the same music but the opening sequence looks a cheap and nasty Asylum knockoff. It is not as well filmed and has none of the panoramic scope GOT had. We have seen a couple of locations mainly Kings Landing but nothing like the breadth the first series of GOT had. The main characters are uninteresting and bland whilst the dialogue is about as incisive as a feather duster. It only has two characters anything remotely interesting in Daemon and Rhaenyra and they are nothing to brag about. GOT had people who appeared for one or two episodes that were fuller rounded characters than any of this lot. The plot is pretty sparse and is jumping forward at a pace without any sense to it. The biggest crime it is guilty of is that after 4 episodes it is as boring as hell. I will stick with it for a bit more but if this is the best they can come up with I doubt I will make it to the end.",3 Totally lost the thrill element of season 1. The whole teen relationship thing seemed forced. Joyce and Hopper turned out to into the most annoying characters. Too much of comedy with most of them in awkward and unnecessary places.,8 I've seen the film it was great it was perfect like it was reading the first comic issue itself thou they missed out a few things out of it first the scarecrow didn't have a proper costume only a mask he should at least dressed as one and didn't reveal himself to everyone and his other alter ego Dr crane was not a prison psychologist he was a ex college professor who taught psychology class that made peoples fears to life thou it was alright in the film i say 5/10 and the other villain Ra's AL Gal was not bad but he was always accompanied by a big bald Asian man as his bodyguard who's name i forget and a daughter named Talia who could have been the love interest and Katie Holmes could have played her instead of this Rachel Dawes who i never heard of in the comic book great cast thou in the sequel pick a very good actor like jack Nicholson and a bit of Cesar Romero together you will find a perfect joker but please not heath ledger as joker but do pick josh Lucas as Harvey dent the future two-face good choice and call the title or something and also i have done some researching jokers real name is jack Napier they didn't use that name for the first batman film also for kingpin boss Mallory i wood pick someone like Paulo Savina or James Guendolen to play him good choice and if they make another one do the robin saga put villains in like the murderer of his parents tony Zukor and have two face return and robin played by i think maybe a young actor like maybe Jared Leta or that guy who played Reese in Malcolm in the middle or drake and josh's drake bell he seems good some good please Mr Nolan read this and think about it thank u like Batman chaos or Batman continues like those names and Christopher Nolan reads this please make the film good and pick a right actor about what i said about playing the joker thank u and enjoy okay good film thou the first one make the second one better and the third one great and in the forth one put in penguin played by probably Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman and put in for a cameo in the 2nd film the man who voiced batman in the cartoons Kevin Conroy a man of pure talent as something thank u.,6 "How about a show called ""The Witcher"" where < 10% of the show actually involves him",3 "Gravity is a perfect example for huge budget films and gadgets, delivered by lack of talent. First of all, this movie brings nothing new or impressive. I would like to say that the visuals were amazing and ground breaking as the film premise, but unfortunately there is nothing really new here. The scenery was indeed beautiful, but so was Space Odyssey which was made about 50 years ago. The experience of staying alone in space was nothing near the claustrophobic tension of Alien. Then, there's the script, or should I say the lack of... The dialogues were flat and full of clichés, and the sound was a cluster of mumbles of rubbish between the astronauts and their radio. It is very obvious that the film makers relied mostly on visuals with this one. Unfortunately the camera work was not brilliant at all, apart for some parts which were not bad, but it was mostly nauseating. They even tried to do the ""fetus"" shot with Bullock floating in fetus position, but that was too forced to be creative. That was done just before Sigourney...sorry, Bullock, started removing her clothes and started floating around in her underwear, because the film was not clichéd enough until then. And the highlight - the cast. A huge budget film with a high caliber actors, and what do we get? Clooney's acting was stale and uninspiring. It seems as though his mind was in what's for dinner later, rather than his struggles in space. Bullock was just as much of a catastrophe. It is hard to separate the bad acting from the bad script, but watching her floating around in space without any supporting cast, was painful. All in all, this movie is like slow torture. It's only saving points were decent soundtrack, occasional moments of thrill, and the hope that it will all be over in an hour.",4 "I'll start by saying this is thoroughly enjoy the issues the show deals with and the way they handle them on and off the show. Season 1 talked about suicide in an awesome way surrounded by an amazing story, season 2 while not as good obviously talked about topical issues as well but it was becoming apparent that it might be taking on too much then season 3 dropped, yikes it gets to point when you try to cover to much and the show ends up a blurred un watchable shambles. The 7 is for what the first two seasons accomplished only to be slapped in the face by season 3.",7 "Encouraged by the good reviews, I sat down with two others, telling them to be prepared to be entertained. After ten minutes, I started to feel embarrassed. After 15 minutes, I had to ask ""This is terrible, isn't it?"" I could feel the relief, when they agreed to give up that quarter hour of their lives and try something else. For those who do not know the works of Enid Blyton, she wrote adventure books for children. The most famous being The Famous Five. Two boys, two girls and a dog. Maybe forerunners of Scoobydoo. Get the picture? Anyway, more adult and entertaining that this load of rubbish. I actually went back to see the rest of the movie, when I was alone. It got decidedly worse!",1 "The reason I saw this one was because it was another Apatow movie, and every single one of his movies are on my top ten favorite movies list, superbad being my number1 . FSM was amazingly funny , from the acting to the story. The best performances where definitely from Segel, Brand, Kunis and Belle.They did there parts so well, Segel as the lost puppy Brand as the could't give a damn rocker, Kunis as the flirtatious hottie(seriously is it just me or did she get ten times hotter since that 70s show), and Belle as the bitch ex. The most annoying part, was the part that Johnah Hill played, the waiter. Even thought I loved him in superbad, in this movie he always had the same boring jokes bout how he loves Aldous Snow,the funniest thing he said was when he was making fun of Peter being alone and when he is on the phone withe his friend talking about buying pot. And that was the beginning, so after that it goes down hill for him. The funniest moments where A: When Aldous and Peter are talking about the killer cell phone movie that Sarah played in, it was so funny I missed 3 minutes of dialogue, B: the part when he makes love to plenty of women and C: when Aldous shows Darald how to make love. Al and all it was the best movie of the year so far, great comedy with just the right amount of love( I went to see it with my fiend who thought is was only a love movie, but was completely blown away afterwards). Ohhh ya one more thing Apatow movies seem to be getting a reputation for showing more male nudity then female, superbad, walk hard, and now this all have at least 30 seconds of dicks being shown, and you know what? I think its funnier. Don't forget to catch my next review when I will be talking about Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo bay.",10 "OK so 1-4 episodes are done and yes it is OPPPPPP...... except 3rd episodes all episodes were full of surprises specially Ep 4, cant wait for ep 5. Its a Binge watch series and it can make your day if you are a Marvel Fan. Being a Marvel fan among Wanda vision , The Falcon and the winter soldier and Loki, Loki is the BEST.",9 This movie plot messed up totally. Represented Dhaka totally wrong.,1 "Ashutosh Gowariker what he thoughts in his mind and explore that all on screen more than imagination. Jodhaa-Akar, Aishwarya-Hirthik best suitable characters, Even we dont want to imagine others. Nobody can remake this movie and Ashutosh ideology presentation. Im still in shock really did akbar had a such love story with his wife. when you look at Ash-Hritik wow what a fantastic couple and their conversations, their silent love, performance. I must appreciate to all team not one individual. AR Rahman sir you can't tell him how to create epic movies historical movies music and background score. AR Rahman perception superb workout till date today even last moive Mohenjodaro. A great grip on historical stories also how to create music magic on screen, this why AR Rahman Mozart of Madras, He is the only person 21st century best musician in indian cinema. I don't want to give that name to others. When u listen the beautiful music mesmerizing all time, all of tracks are super hit. Ash Hritik jodi wow what a costume designed only for them, Especially Aishwarya Roy i love it madly, As a King we know how is that picture, but when thinking about KIng's Wife she is more than beautiful. I love thier acting both mind blowing cant you look down entire movie, they are amazing couple in bollywood. Director Ashutosh pick them very brilliant idea, and he imagined characters already before make a film. So Hritik Ash came this project. I appreciate also lyricist , dialouge writer. I watched only so peaceful Calm Silent a Wonderful Love Story of Jodhaa-Akbar while running movie till the end.Nothing in my mind just Two Characters and Their Conversations, Love. It inside so peaks happiness unspoken words",10 "I am not really a huge T.V fan and often struggle to find something above mediocre. I read a lot of stuff on the internet and find out about a few shows getting huge critical acclaim and would like to see them, but usually don't get around to it (a few of the emmy award winning US shows seem to not come to Australia too often or if they do they're not always on primetime). however a friend recommended it to me and lent me the 1st season. I watched the first episode last night and i was immediately hooked. it was hilarious and brilliant characters. i have since watched 3 other episodes each of them very near the same quality as the first. This show is very well written and very interesting in the various plot lines for each characters. ron howard also serves well as a great narrator. i'd recommend this to all fans of comedy and those who love witty dialog and if your a sitcom addict then i really see no reason why you wouldn't love this.",9 "Everything is good except the story.. Actors, performance etc.. was really great. But the main story?? WTF?? OMG. I watched with my wife and honestly I felt very embarrassed!",3 For someone who has played the actual game it's quite underwhelming. If you were looking for a replication of GoT concerning nudity and swearing then whatch it otherwise in all honesty it can do with some improvement in the flow of the plot and the growth of character. Final verdict it's ok not very good not very bad.,4 "The first 'Fantastic Beasts' film (while fairly dull) did at least show some potential - unfortunately that has been destroyed with this next instalment. A tone of senseless direction is established from the start - Grindlewald escapes in the opening scene, rendering his initial capture completely pointless. The audience is given no reason to feel tension for anything that happens - apparently events can be reversed or ignored at will in this series. Laughably, Jacob has also retained his memory completely and Credence is infact alive (suddenly in Paris somehow.) How and why is of course never explained... There is barely even a plot to speak of. The movie is reduced to explaining convoluted family trees. J K Rowling has clearly put a lot of effort into working out how this parade of tedious characters are related to each other. Unfortunately she seems to have forgotten to think up any reason for the audience to actually GIVE A DAMN. Maybe we will get to that part over the next 3 films (give me strength!) A terrible cast. Newt the pathetic wet blanket whimpers his way through scenes. An unbearable character surrounded by boring sidekicks. In hindsight the hype and controversy surrounding Nagini is hilarious! She says barely 10 words through the film and has absolutely ZERO impact to anything that happens. Scenes where we return to Hogwarts are just terrible. Looking past the glaring plot holes and inconsistencies to the original series - It's just a sad reminder of how uninspired and empty everything feels compared to Harry Potter. The lazy art direction doesn't help - sets, costumes and CGI are all a colourless haze. Even the title is confused and messy. Attempting to amaze the audience with ""fantastic beasts"" and terrify with ""Grindlewald's crimes."" It fails at both! Resulting in a film that is neither fantastic nor thrilling. A bland muddled bore. Cannot recommend on any level.",2 "The effects were excellent, but all the best ones were in the trailer. Without going into spoiler mode I'll just say I expected the effects to have more meaning than they did and I expected them to be used better. The acting was good, the plot understandable in a single viewing if you pay attention but it seems like it's trying too hard to be complex/dynamic/intricate. It may make you laugh out loud at how silly some of the logic is as it twists upon itself and changes but again I won't go into specifics - you'll see. Worth a download? Sure, you might love it as many seem to (over 9 score at this time)...that or someone figured out how to game the IMDb rating system.",6 "Once again Christopher Nolan delivers an enticing cinematic experience. The telling of three different stories at three different times of the day at the same time requires a delicate balancing act. Although unique in itself, the arc of the characters in each of the stories didn't necessarily stand out. However, even with the minimal backstory, you still feel you understand the characters motivations. The only problem I have with Christopher Nolan's movies is they tend to get over-hyped. Once the audience see's 'a film by Christopher Nolan' during the previews, they instantly start salivating at what is coming next. This reaction is a testament to the Director's success and skill of directing movies - not taking anything away from him. But at times this tends to cloud people's judgement of the movie, causing them to not be as objective as they can be about the film itself. Again, not taking anything away from Nolan because I have thoroughly enjoyed his films. This film is one more success of Nolan's, accurately telling a historical event of great significance that majority of the world was not totally aware of (at least the details). Always a fun treat experiencing Nolan's latest movie. You never quite know what to expect, but you are always sure you will enjoy it.",7 "Here's what the series description should read: Daredevil - Trained his entire life to wage war against the Hand with enhanced senses, Daredevil gets his ass kicked by every low level thug he fights. This is what's wrong with the entire Marvel franchise. A character's fighting skill is always determined by the scripted necessity to keep the hero from succeeding.",7 "If you wanna learn the Definition of movie that how to make movie and why make a movie, go watch this film 🎥. Shahrukh gave all his efforts for the movie and undoubtedly it's a best performance of his life.",10 "Only thing that i didn't like in this movie was actually Venom, his voice, and the jokes were pretty bad. Movie had a solid story, nothing special but it wasn't bad. Duration was spot on, if it was longer it would turn boring. I liked the animation and fight scenes, so I'm giving this movie a strong 7 maybe a 7.5. P. S. The post-credit scene was the actual best scene in whole movie.",8 You can feel his unease with portraying a very ridiculous character which totally takes away the suspension of disbelief. Why the hell did they choose him? This is the second bad casting of him in a romance I have tried watching. And WHY is his name first in the credits when this is a women's show??? I don't get it.,4 "Clearly the movie was designed to be very similar to modern Hollywood war movies. But perhaps the high score has more to do with patriotic sentiments than the quality of the film. Sometimes over dramatic, unrealistic-which is great to thrill unsophisticated audience; but not for artistic value. Could have been a lot better, acting is average, plot is interesting, told fairly well.",7 "I'm sorry to say that the movie business is being taken down like everything else in the world lately. The great US of A policy is affecting movie making in the worst manner. I guess the next major achievement will be about North Korea. Picturing Iran as a big hell-hole with a population full of thugs, militia, ignorant and anti-American people. When will Hollywood stop these awful stereo-types? Constantly picturing third world civilizations as half-humans. They do it with everybody; Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan and the list goes on and on. You know, these countries have schools, universities, their own movies, all the late technology and are constantly exporting engineers, doctors and scientists to Europe and the US. The reason I've got angry this time is because this movie won 3 Oscars including best film. It's an ""OK"" movie. Period. Up until 1996 with Braveheart, the Oscar for best film really meant something. The movies back then really deserved it. In the 17 years after that, I could make piece with only 4 movies on that list; Gladiator, LOTR, Million Dollar Baby and Slumdog Millionaire. But we are being directed towards what they want us to see and believe. The Islamophobia plan is working like hell. My apologies if I deviated a little from the ""review mode"", but it's time to really think about what we're watching, listening and reading. A great movie is one that touches you; either by actors performance, music, emotion, action, visuals or even comedy. This one didn't have any of those. A CIA agent with the help of Canada comes up with a plan to rescue 6 American diplomats from Iran during the revolution...you can guess the rest of the movie. Ben Affleck was so boring that I thought maybe being the director he was too exhausted to act. Finally as I always say; go see it for yourself; if you're American or Canadian you might like it. If you're from any of the other 191 countries recognized by the UN, you will NOT.",5 This is literally the best performance of SRK and it is truly a masterpiece.,10 We FINALLY get a proper movie about the REAL ONE TRUE Captain Marvel and this is what they come up with? And on top of that they cast the guy from Chuck as CM? I have always loved Captain Marvel and the way he was treated in the comic industry was a real shame starting with a lawsuit that eventually caused the character to lose his name to what would eventually become a stupid bitter cosmic Barbie Doll. This movie could have been another Superman 1978 but instead we get juvenile jokes. Billy Batson was an upbeat character who now has the powers of an adult and while naturally you have to explore that bit eventually Billy using the wisdom of Solomon which is missing from the movie realizes what the powers are for. Unfortunately all we got was a bunch of nonsense with CM telling all his friends about what has happened and then splitting the powers. It's a real shame this is what they came up with because the ONE TRUE REAL Captain MArvel deserved better.,5 "It enough said, wanna see two iconic marvel characters clash for the first time on the silver screen, Andy Serkis has delivered, it just good old fun that it needed right now, Sony on a role with its Spider Man Universe and can't wait to see more of Tom Hardy in the future!!!!!",9 What an aweful rendition of a ln old great tv show. Sound and music is over the top. Acting is terrible. Script is all over the place. Don't these people watch their iwn work? The whole this is for 8 year olds. What a waste.,1 "Yes, they are very cute, the story is very romantic, some songs (not all of them) are remarkable, the editing is really clever, the production design and photography are pure eye candy, and it's a cool film, no doubt... Maybe I'm getting old, but this is an average movie at best, and there's nothing new in it...Gene Kelly did this 60 years ago better with far less technology. As for the story, it can't be less original...Girl meets boy, they follow their dreams together, etc etc etc. I give it a 7 being generous. I liked it as an entertaining little film, but it's not a classic by any stretch of the imagination. In a few months, when the hype has passed, nobody will talk about it. I give a 10 to the marketing campaign, though. They managed to shovel it down everyone's throat.",6 "A nice, childish movie deserving around 6 as the rating, but as I enjoyed it mildly and sometimes more than averagely it gets a nice and commendable 6.8 rounded up to 7. The star and highlight of the movie is of course Margot Robbie and if Ken, his male counterpart had the same charisma and aura it would have become so great. In fact the Barbies are very good generally, whereas the Ken s are not, bland, generic, sometimes cliche and only the main Ken shines because of his persona, but is dissolved in the treacherous script, screenplay and plots. The movie should have been all rosy , photography, cinematography and screenplay alike. Unfortunately, the plots and some gray acting ruined those , especially in the last 60-45 minutes to the very end. For once, a movie should have been all dolls and Barbie's existential crisis threw a tasteless blanket of gray flowers and artificiality onto their awesome world. Screenplay/storyline: 6 Development: 7 Realism: 6.5 Entertainment: 7 Acting: 7 Filming/cinematography/photography: 8 VFX: 8 Music/score/sound: 6.5 Depth: 6.5 Logic: 7 Flow: 6.5 Adventure/fantasy/comedy: 6 Ending: 6.",7 "******* this review may contain spoilers *************** If you are like me, a WWII history buff, and excited to see a new movie about the battle of Dunkirk, you will be totally disappointed. It feels like a low budget movie, you don't see any German soldiers for the whole movie. What?? how do you have a war movie where hundreds of thousands people fought and you don't show what's going on the other side? It would have been better named as 'some side stories during the battle of Dunkirk', because that's what it is. The title is misleading, it's called Dunkirk so people would see it. There is this endless air battle between couple of airplanes that's like half the movie, totally unnecessary. Nobody need that much detail about a fight between couple of fighter planes. The other half the movie is about a little fishing ship going to Dunkirk to carry some troops back, I don't really care about that either. I feel like I wasted my $12.",1 "I honestly did not enjoy this Venom at all. The first one was definitely great popcorn, let there be carnage wasn't even close. It was comedic dialog more than anything. Venom's character stole the show, and he was the most enjoyable but Harrelson and Hardy were just supporting roles. This was a real swing and miss.",3 Will go down as one of my fav comedies for sure. Watched it about 10 times over the last 10 years and it's still great,8 "I'll keep this short - My real rating is 8*, +1 for coolness and keeping to a grand design. Can't add anything new that hasn't been posted already, but SHIELD has a good storyline, good plot, good characters - there's even a pretty decent level of chemistry between key characters to keep things interesting. Season 1 had a slow start - but really kicked it up toward the end. Season 2 is the best of the series, so far, with a great cliff-hanger. Surprisingly good sfx - all patterned from the films. If you dig Marvel characters, enjoy 'over-the-top' flair of a Jack Kirby comic book yarn, you'll totally dig the story. Excellent fodder for a night of binge watching.",9 Musics in the film were good and J.K was playing great but film and miles's acting was awful.,5 "When I saw the first episode, I said, oh this is going to be good ! And so far I'm still longing for every episode of this series. A couple of episodes were directed by Jason Bateman. He's good as a director and also as an actor, as well as everyone involved in this production, especially Ben Mendelsohn. I love a mystery. And this one will have you wondering for all the the things that are happening in our world where somethings can't be explained. Watch it and wonder. It's eerily exciting !",8 "The mind-boggling British science fiction ""The Black Mirror"" haunts the use of modern day technology through sharp and suspenseful episodes that present possible societal consequences. Each episode contains a whole new story line and cast as it showcases a main character being challenged by ""new age"" technology, essentially going through a psychological crisis. With the use of dark satire, this tv series surrounds the audience with the ""Twilight Zone"" sensation of a dark and twisted nature. Black Mirror aims to display how advancements in technology will interfere with human nature. Daunting and wicked music aids to transitioning from scene to scene, as the audiences' anticipation grows with each heart beat. Charlie Brooker, the writer and creator of Black Mirror projects the future side-effects of the overuse of technology; under;lying the subject of digital technology and potential within human development. The content of the series covers internal struggles that incorporate a major conflict between humans and nature. As the characters take on pressuring decisions, the audience begins an ongoing or repeated theme of ethics: what is considered wrong, right or honest, for humans to do. Black mirror is an untraditional take on the common debate between the advantages and disadvantages of technology in society. Each individual story within an episode will keep you hooked on a thrilling experience of suspense and emotional trauma.",8 "Well ... yawn. Here we have yet another Leo Dicaprio film where Leo Dicaprio plays Leo Dicaprio channelling someone or other and probably getting an Oscar as a result. I am sick to the back teeth of Leo Dicaprio films these days. He's not the only actor in the world. He's not even a particularly good character actor any more, as he always plays the same person in all his films. And all the films he's in seem to be about him. This aside, WOWS is a bad film. It's a long, long film. Seriously I don't think it was edited. It's a film that portrays a disgusting, degenerate, greed-driven conman who actually ruined the lives and futures of many, many REAL hard working people. And now he makes money while you watch this sordid bit of propaganda which essentially walks you through how he enjoyed wasting these ill-gotten gains and having sex and basically groping women along the way. But wait - this is where it mis-steps once again. He doesn't even ENJOY wasting the money he conned out of these people. In fact the film seems to be a walk-through of the life of a man who has everything, but isn't happy - at all - with his lot. Okay okay already! I get it - very rich and privileged people want you to know that it's a serious burden being rich. Wow, er ... thanks? That is literally the only point or message I can think to take away from this film. So if this sounds good to you - well - be my guest and add another wad load of cash to this guy's pension fund. I'll let you decide if you think anybody involved with this film deserves it. I've already made my mind up.",2 "OK!! Let me start off with I watched reruns of the 60's show as a kid, and the 1998 movie left a bad taste in my mouth. I watched the first 3 episodes of this reboot, and thought, ok... ""Here's just another TV series that won't make it past season 1.."" But I continued to binge watch all the way to the end of the 1st season and now i already find myself google-ing looking for the second season. For anyone that says they left some ""Gaps or Holes"" in the show, you obviously didn't finish watching. They FILLED in a lot of it, unless you're looking for a ""StarTrek TNG"" type explanation about every tech item you see... By the 6th episode it was already midnight last night and i was still up watching. By the end of the 10th I had to move this show to one of my ""NEW"" Favorites.. The Robot could've been a little better, but i feel like a cheesy robot is part of what LIS is all about. Except there's no dryer vents for arms this time. They use a fork! Get to the Very END of the 10th episode and all of a sudden, BOOM!!! ""Now it feels a lot more like the old series!""",9 "I would like to like to state at the very beginning, I am not a fan of Hindi movies, & am definitely not a fan of Mani Ratnam movies. The only reason I would want to watch Guru was because of the rumors that it was to be based on the life of Dhirubhai Ambani. After watching the movie, I have no doubt that it clearly is. As far as the movie goes, it fell woefully short of expectations. But, when a director attempts to make a movie on such an eminent personality, one expects a little bit more in terms of insight into the life. This story line can at best be described as the romanticized perspective of a largely uninformed & unintelligent 3rd person. The story is poor at tapping the mind of a genius, and focuses on some of the controversial aspects of his life. The most controversial aspects, have been conveniently ignored. The characters too follow the pattern of the poor definition of the story. After watching the movie, you will leave with a feeling of indifference towards most of the characters, while you would be frustrated with the shallowness & stupidity of others. Most characters appear a murky gray, rather than richly immersed in their passions or rich in their lack of. Admittedly it is very difficult to make a movie of the life of an eminent personality like Dhirubhai. The fact that Dhirubhai's life is still so strongly etched in the memory of all does not help either. But, I would like to think there was more to the life of a great man than an unnatural ability to convince the characters in the movie of his views, while having little or no impact on everyone else. This movie is a very small step forward in Indian cinema, where the life of a contemporary, controversial but great figure was tackled. But alas, fails to make the most of a movie making opportunity. Sprinkled with the masala recipe that makes all Indian movies, just like Udipi Restaurants in Mumbai make south Indian food. The same at every other corner, a far cry from the original. At no point talking a risk of being different, bold or even honest…with unhealthy fats added for taste. The ringing of the cash register is always more important than the quality of the product try to make something to the lowest common denominator. Not hated but any, liked by a few.",4 I don't like Indian movies but thought this might be different but I was wrong. 90 minutes of killing and 30 minutes of garbage. Gimme s break. Rambo rip off that's just pathetic.,2 "A nice MCU series with very good acting, CGI-VFX and overally acceptable and in cases very good development, only ruined by the abominable first three episodes and the slightly above average next three. We only have one gem of an episode and that's the eighth one with the ninth (finale) being battle-generic and having a ""sadly ever after"" ending. The post-credits of the finale don't help WandaVision, as a possible continuation in the next Dr. Strange, cause it's my opinion that the character of Scarlet Witch has so much more yet to offer and that it deserves a whole series of its own with of course a potential second season. So it goes for Monica Rambeau who didn't shine (at all) and whose amazing powers were left on a shelf in limbo.",6 Such a great movie. Ajay is at his best. Simple and sober. Cute wife.,10 "This show is nothing to be excited about. Story is very cliché, brought down even worse by the ""acting skills"" of Anthony Mackie. Seriously this guy has an acting range of a cactus. Winter soldier Part of the show was somewhat Ok but could be better. Overall it's a very average show, if you haven't watched it yet, you haven't missed anything worth losing your mind.",5 "If all your after is mindless action scenes with no concern for story then yep this is a 10 star movie... But if your not between the ages of 8-15 teenage boy, stuck in the late 80s of movie making then dont even waste your time, because like me you will keep looking at your watch thinking how can this movie be this long and I really wanna go home...",3 "This movie is a great thrill for marvel nerds, as it contains everything you want in an MCU movie all wrapped up into a nice package. A great villain with steaks on the line, amazing character development, and of course, some of the BEST action in all of marvel!",9 "It's a high budget movie, so the shots generally look nice, and Gal Gadot is obviously hot enough to make even a Nazi stare lustfully... but that doesn't make this a good movie. It's corny, it's cringey, it's got an awful score, and it's far too long... ugh",3 "I liked this movie, but I was distracted... Why does the lead actress have to be 17 years younger than the lead actor? Anyone? Thoughts? Were there no actresses in their 30s, 40s (oh dear god no!), available? Just wondering....",4 "Engaging story of growing up with a passion for seeing the world cinematically. With the feeling of Neil Simon/Woody Allen, the storyline moved along but the casting of two main characters was like cement shoes. Michelle Williams who can be a real tour de force on the big screen, was simply an unsympathetic and boring character. It was as if she only has a narrow range for acting-- which probably is not true but it was true in this movie. She was flat (too much botox?), unexpressive (except her dialogue) and definitely did not look the part. Rachel Brosnahan (Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) or a young Bette Midler would have brought pathos and animation to her role. With the exception of one or two scenes, MW was not even remotely credible. Similarly, the father was sweet and boring but not nearly obsessive, quirky, distracted or otherwise the ""absent minded professor"" that he was supposed to be. We only knew about his character again, through the dialogue-- not the acting. However, hard to know if this was the fault of the script or the actor, or both. Otherwise, the movie was entertaining. Some great cameo roles. There are few laugh-aloud moments and a generally good plot making it more pleasant to see this film rather than all the war/destruction of the world/superhero or other violent movies that seem to dominate the theaters. If Speilberg's name had been kept anonymous, I doubt the reviews would be so glowing.",5 "Netflix got me so hyped up for this show, the trailers were great the premise seemed dark, edgy and controversial almost like something you'd expect from HBO. I made sure to watch it only once i had enough time since i was thinking it could be a great binge watch... ...boy was i WRONG. For starters this main character Hannah Baker, who they seem to try really hard for us to like, is just not likable AT ALL. Maybe they were trying for that but i seriously doubt it because its obvious from the directing style they do want us to feel sorry for her and like her. Its a girl character that could have only been dreamed up by a man writing fiction about his ideal high school crush. She is smart, snarky, funny, sarcastic, pretty, has a svelte classy voice, is willing to talk to the nerds, but is also a cool girl who the jocks all want to bone and she has just that ""right"" level of slutiness, enough to get her in trouble but not enough to make her seem like an outright villain like the girls in Mean Girls or The New Guy. So whats not to like right ? Well...thats the problem, truthfully her life is/was better than probably 98% of girls in high school would probably expect to have, yet she goes out of her way to torpedo it. She makes bad decision after bad decision, puts faith in the wrong people, is NOT willing to learn from mistakes and move on or take any responsibility for her actions. She is honestly, just a ticking time bomb aka ""crazy b!tch"". Now i know, that cyber-bullying is a real problem, teenage suicide is also NO laughing matter but this is really not the way to portray it. It boils a complicated psychological issue down to something trivial like simple narcissism and ""all about me"" culture. So when they could have made it about a relateable character, they chose to go with a prissy drama queen who had a great life and could have lived happily if she wasn't so outrageously shallow and fickle. She does not represent the average type of girl that goes through this type of bullying, in the real world normal girls get bullied for many things that are legitimately out of their control, not just because they were drama queens like Hannah Baker. So im not really sure what the message here is supposed to be other than saying ""Hey its not just fat girls and gingers who get bullied ! look hot girls from good families get bullied too ! Its a real problem now bruh !"" Its a real shame, this could have been good, and they could have presented a real case for addressing suicide and modern day bullying but all they seemed to do was stir up controversy to get people to watch a show that was honestly pretty damn cheesy.",2 "The story is very weak, the film seems like it was thrown together overnight. The plot was very weak, though there are some elements of good comedy. This film just seems like a cash cow to piggy back off Harry potter. All of the HP films were better than this. Think people voting this film way too high. The film is basically a wizard trying to find his pets whilst a terrorist wizard looks for some lame CGI obscurus. It doesn't even explain why hes looking for it. Yeah that's the whole film. Next to no story, just throws CGI creatures at us. I would have liked to see more of a magical world and a stronger story. The main villain only had a few minutes of air time at the very start and at the end. (Probably due to the amount he charges) But I guess this was aimed at a very young audience who love CGI creatures that they've never seen in the HP universe. Like the dragon thing that increases or decreases in size to fit the space. But in the suitcase they stay very small not fitting the available space. I feel they could have made this film a lot better if they focused more on the story line. Also the teleporting gimmick is way too strong. No wizard could do this in previous Harry potter films which are much further in time in the HP universe. So wizard's got much weaker than those of 1920/30's?",1 "The movie was stuck in second gear and dialogue so poor, shockingly dragged out and just does not feel like watch any other war film. The second viewing does not help as you just see more points where acting could and should have been better. The Cinematography was interesting and some great shots, but hatted one take method of filming really was like a video game and took away soul of movie.",4 "I want to love Tom Cruise and this film. I admire his work ethic. I admire his refusal to embrace the latest fad that is ""woke"". I just can't see past the huge ego at work. The best thing about this movie is the action scenes. The visuals are stunning. Beautifully filmed. There are some moderately humorous parts and the romantic bits have some validity and power but I'm just left with a feeling that I'm watching Tom be Tom. I understand why people like this movie. It's uplifting and positive which, God knows we need right now. However, it's still a slightly vacuous, ego-driven, dated experience.",3 "We've seen it all in different zombie or apocalypse movies throughout the years. Give me a break. The prepper episode, the flashback episode, driving with a car into a mass of zombies, airplanes falling down, the neighbour who gets infected first, the new cult, the character that sacrifices itselfs and takes thousands of zombies with him/her. You already saw World War Z, The Walking Dead, The Light of my Life, 28 Days Later, The Road? Give yourself a break and choose something different on HBO. Positive: Yes it's HBO. It looks really good. The sets and effects are great. But that's all. I hope it's the last of those.",5 "9 May 2010. This is ROBOCOP (1987) on steroids. This movie is action packed with the requisite theater-vibrating sound effects along with a high-thrills and a SPIDERMAN (2002) personal backstory that lends a nice balance to this summer blockbuster. A few weaknesses persist that take this movie down a notch - a rather sedate opening sequence that also leads to a underdeveloped, stereotypical antagonist, and an Ironman lead-in that somehow ends up on stage without revealing any remarkable landing sequence. There's the amazing, but over-the-top sedan scene on the Monaco raceway. The movie has a superb martial arts sequence in the league of BOURNE IDENTITY (2002) much more enthralling than THE DARK KNIGHT'S (2008) fight sequences. This sequel, like SPIDERMAN 2 (2004) extends the personal drama and confronts the lingering father-son relational bitterness (though not even its resolution was perhaps underdeveloped as well). IRON MAN 2 (2010) presents a rather fascinating dynamic of two villains, both well played by Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell (who had an amazing starring role in the relatively obscure movie MOON, 2009). The narcissistic charisma of Ironman and the intimate focus on terminal death issues were well played out in the movie. The climax while explosive, failed to reach the heights of THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) nor the personal intimate and emotional intensity of BOURNE IDENTITY (2002), THE BOURNE SUPREMACY (2004). Interestingly, IRONMAN 2 is able to avoid the crass, overt sexual titillating excuse, though there is plenty of insinuations. Overall, IRONMAN 2 is blockbuster, summer lead-in entertainment that has both the riveting emotional dilemma of a hero and feel-good entertainment.",8 "I enjoyed sound design in this movie it was very good. Soundrack was on point too. Visual effects were good in some parts of the movie but not so in the other (it felt very CGI if you know what i mean).This kind of quality is what I'm used to in these kind of movies. BUT Acting was terrible and so was the script. Pacing was somewhat good but not the best but this was the least problem. Movie was very cringey in some parts and lets be fair, side missions and weapons used in this movie were horrible. Like they didn't know what to put there besides main problem. This movie felt like too much effort on post production while the core of the movie is broken. If there were no effects in this movie you would really feel then how bad the script is. Pity. This movie had so much potential.",5 "Even for a rather casual animation watcher like myself and one who hasn't read the source manga, One Punch Man was an entertaining and immersive watch. Action-packed and hilarious in equal measure, it leans into the tropes of diverse superheroes and monsters while also having the ability to laugh at itself. After all, the existence of a hero who can defeat every enemy with a single punch is laughable in its own right. The two seasons released thus far are however quite different. Season 1 is a self-contained story with better art and animation quality and a humorous outlook while Season 2 introduces deeper stories and widens the character cast. I personally much preferred the former and had a number of criticisms for Season 2 - the action scenes have less visual clarity, there is no proper finale with lots of hanging threads, Saitama's role is significantly diminished, and the more serious tone makes the satirical nature of the series less pronounced. It remains to be seen how forthcoming seasons will develop character arcs and resolve the ongoing conflict between the heroes and the monsters. But up to this point, One Punch Man is a delightful and worthwhile watch even to those who haven't seen much by way of animated shows.",8 "The story of an aspiring superhero with the power to end his opponents in a single punch - making his life seemingly more meaningless than expected. It's an enjoyable show that goes over-the-top in almost every way and subverts what comes to be expected from both anime and the superhero genre. Season One is good, but not always great. Sometimes the tone shift is way too abrupt, and the story focuses away from the title character too often. However, I look forward to see what the second season has in store.",7 "Only problems are the time skips backwards and forwards without really letting you know in any way and it finishes at what 'feels like' the middle or, well maybe the end of the middle or beginning of the end... Aside from this, it's an excellent swords and sorcery series. If it has anything to do with the games of the same name (I'm assuming it does), I'm glad i started watching it before playing the games. Personally i hate watching adaptations of games i love, but have no problem with the reverse. Cast are all brilliant with the exception of a couple of extras in one or two places. Well written and managed to include humour without getting overly silly in the midst of more serious content. Can't wait for the second series! Which is apparently underway already (or nearly) and ""guesstimates"" put it arriving in late 2020 or early '21, woohoo!!",8 "Eminem's favorite movie and Emma Stone's film debut. A somewhat vulgar teenage comedy about two high school friends who try to provide alcohol for a party and get some girls drunk, hoping that way they'll score some sex. The story originated from the pens of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who started the script when they were thirteen years old. The latest information gives you a pretty clear idea of what to expect from this film. Just remember the stories you told with your friends during puberty and you will have a rough concept of the plot. A whole range of puberty-driven teens, led by Jonah Hill and Michael Cera, in pretty imaginative and fun tongue-in-cheek situations and conversations will probably keep your attention for a full two hours and, if you don't expect too much, you'll have a good time. Within the genre, I really have no objections, but ""Superbad"" doesn't bring anything worth mentioning, neither technically nor essentially, so I can't go over 6/10.",6 "This is not a movie to take your 10 year old girl to. On the surface it looks flashy and appealing, but if you listen to the messages you start to realise that it is preaching. And in the least subtle way you could think of. There are a few funny moments, but not enough for it to be considered to be a comedy. And as far as the depth of the 'message' is concerned, all I can say to the writers and director is: do not give up your day job. There is nothing wrong with delivering an important message, however, to be effective it must be done with persuasion and not a sledgehammer. This movie does not understand that.",2 I did not like this movie. I went because of the good reviews but I should have known it was all the hype. I went thinking it would be fun but it was a letdown. I almost walked out and expected more but it never happened. I can't believe that anyone would give this move a good review. It was so cheesy. The sexual undertones are a bit too much for many young kids I saw in the theatre. I would not take any children under 14 to this movie. This is definitely not a kid movie. I loved Margot Robbie in the Wolves of WallStreet and with Babylon a huge flop this is another big letdown. They spent so much money on advertising this film and it is no surprise to me now on why they had to spend so much money because this move would have flopped if they didn't spend so much money on advertising. Now after seeing it I am sick of seeing barbie.,1 like most intelligent persons made in the cinema and TV who said the intelligent person must be an idiot fall in his social live cant say a word without insulting the others. have super super power cant be exist. and made a conclusions the able data and information cant be reach to it to prove his intelligence.oh dear another Adham Sabrey that can do any thing Sherlock Holmes he is a awful person. On the other side the show contain some ideas can made a great show without consisting to let Sherlock have a last word.i have to say i can accept physical superhero like batman but i can't accept one like that Sherlock finally This was one of the worst British series I ever saw.,1 "This show was a crazy downhill ride. Love season one and season two wasn't bad. Season three was a real downer and the end of the series was completely lame. Like so many other shows, the end was a let down.",7 "I cannot believe how this show is rated so highly when such depressing setting with awful actors and mundane storyline. The direction, cinematography & editing was terrible. This is a proof that ratings don't mean a thing. Always follow your liking and this was just dull as dolphin in a empty pool.",1 "The evil doctor is everywhere at the exact moment she needs to be to cause maximum possible damage. Mashes together all the elements good sci-fi contains, and does so clumsily. But all the actors have the politically correct diversity, and they're all so pretty! Useful as background noise to aid in sleeping.",5 "As someone who thoroughly enjoyed the game and the amazing story, I'm displeased with the show. What made Ellie such a great character in the game are her displays of innocence and ability to find joy in dark times, all while giving lighthearted, snarky remarks. The Ellie in the show displays ungrateful, annoyed, and irritated attitudes and it ruins the beauty of the original story. I understand why they change details of the storyline for television and I think it works in most cases. One instance where it failed is with Bill and his partner's meeting story. Bill didn't have a gay lover in the original story. If they want to add this layer for drama or more runtime, fine, but they can do it without starting it off with a gay sex scene. I don't want to see that!! I give 3/10 because the clickers and all zombie makeup was on point.",7 "Tom Cruise back flying planes again? I'm down for that even if there isn't any Kenny Loggins to vibe to. He's had a terrible time this year starring in the ill-fated The Mummy, so I was hoping for something better this time around. A very positive instrument for the film was having Doug Liman at the helm. I'm a fan of him so had faith that this would entertain. Overall, its not amazing but is decent enough with a typically good Tom Cruise character performance. The film is based on the true story of Barry Seals, the former pilot who gets hired by the CIA to initially get surveillance photos in Central America. However, Seals soon gets drawn into the life of transporting drugs, goods, and weapons to armies and different dealers. He becomes affiliated with the Medellin Cartel and starts doing business with Pablo Escobar. Things get out of hand and he becomes wanted by the FBI and DEA. Seals becomes rich but the costs that come with it become overbearing. The thing I like about Liman is he can work a decent script and works well in close quarters with a minimalist script (this is me basically praising The Wall). I found the events of the film interesting and a bit astonishing, especially if all the government agencies got involved in the ordeal the way the film portrays. Tom Cruise is good in it and makes it worth the watch even when the film falters. His cockiness and energy given to the performance is a strong point. There's a lot going on in the film and you have to keep up with the things Seals is told to do. I found Domhnall Gleeson's ""agent"" character mysteriously enticing, though was sad to hear that there's no real factual basis for the role. Overall, its not exactly a must see but a committed Cruise performance and rich real life basis makes the film a positive viewing experience. 7/10",7 "Brilliant Series. Explores so many concepts, love how every episode has its own moral or lesson. And there are so many brilliant actors. Best UK show in years :)",9 Such bad story line writing left me disappointed as the first had such strong writing. Many plot holes and ungrounded. Parts of this movie even undermineded the first film which did so much to ground the film in reality.,3 "La ho iniziata a guardare solamente perché sapevo che raccontava di The Punisher, i primi episodi erano carini , ma poi ti annoi vedendo che un Cieco ci vede meglio di te e di altri 10 messi insieme. L'attore a volte non riesce a fare al meglio la parte del cieco.",5 "The first season feels like a very long movie. It tells a gritty and realistic crime story, keeps away from the more fantastical superhero clichés. There are some surprising twists and there isn't much that seems unnecessary. The story could have been told with one or two episodes less, and that's not much for a TV serial with 13 episodes. (8/10) Hardly anything is supernatural. Matt Murdock was blinded as a child by some stuff that also gave him special senses that much more than just make up for his loss of eyesight. Other than that he's a normal guy and in fights he gets hurt, badly, a lot. He and his friend Foggy start their career as independent lawyers in ""Hell's Kitchen"", an area southwest of the Central Park in New York. Slowly they get deeper and deeper involved in the criminal machinations that afflict their quarter. At night, Murdock moonlights as a - yet - nameless vigilante, dressed in black and wearing some kind of bandana that covers the upper half of his face. The main villain is Wilson Fisk, one of Marvel's first iconic supervillains, the quadratically shaped Kingpin. The original Marvel claim was that there is not an ounce of fat in his body, it's all muscles. Maybe he fell into a tub of radioactiv lard? A live-action version of him would have been ridiculous. Eventually they turned him from a crypto mutant into something like a sumo wrestler, a mere human. And that version is played by Vincent D'Onofrio with rare comic correctness. D'Onofrio is big (1,92 m), with a massive physical presence, he dominates the scenes he's in, just as this crime boss is supposed to do. His Kingpin is sensitive, extremely intelligent and strong, extremely violent-tempered und brutal. The second season is very different. It's much more like a regular superhero show. Murdock finally got his Daredevil costume. Two supervillains or maybe heroes discuss with him the main question of the season - and of (super) vigilantes: Is it justified to kill really bad guys? The robotic ex-soldier Frank Castle (Punisher) and the spoilt rich girl adventuress Elektra are very much in favour of terminally finishing their jobs. The lawyer and catholic Murdock is opposed to the idea of killing anyone, he is not just into justice, he is into law and order. The main villains in the second half of the season, the ninjas from the ancient mystical organization ""The Hand"" are not bothered by such questions. They are doing things that are not well explained, but certainly supernatural - basic comic book stuff. Compared to the first season, the second is a bit all over the place, with too many different storylines. Karen Page, the first client of Murdock & Foggy, and later on their secretary, is now a legit journalist. Her story feels forced and unnecessary. All in all, season 2 could have been better if it had been told in just 9 or 10 episodes. (6/10) The third season cancels the second, there is no continuation, it's back to season one. Daredevil is wearing his old clothes, Wilson Fisk is the main villain, it's a gritty crime story. But the way it is told is extremely long winded and uninvolving. Two many times Murdock/Daredevil is just a supporting character in his own show. The main focus is on Karen and on some new, fairly uninteresting characters. Fisk's mannerisms get more and more tedious. He's got nothing new and is no longer an enigmatic force of nature. In the end, all the storylines meet, more or less satisfyingly. But it is rather doubtful that many viewers will make it through the predominantly boring episodes. The story should have been told in 4 instead of 13 episodes. (4/10)",7 "This film is so busy trying, and failing, to be smart with it's basic musings on ""what is real"" and ""levels"", that it never considers whether it is coherent, makes any sense or serves it's purpose. In one scene, we are told not to manipulate too much with the dream world, or the ""fake people"" who live there will notice and turn hostile.. Ok, fine. Don't know why that follows, but sure. Let's go with that. Later, one of the characters conjure a rocket launcher from thin air and delivers the ""cool"" one-liner ""Don't be afraid the dream big.""... Why make all these arbitrary rules about how this dream-spy stuff works, if you are not going to be consistent with it? Also the premise that you can have a dream, within a dream, within a dream etc., and time goes slower for each level is ridiculous. But convenient for the plot, I guess. The story fells rushed, does not give time to character development, shoehorns in pointless fight scenes and generally feels like it is being told by an over-energetic 10-year old, making it up as he goes. ""and then we said, than you can't make it too weird, or the dream people will turn evil... and now I have a bazooka! BOOOM!!"" But much worse, is how little creativity is used in regards to the ""dream world"". We where lead to believe that this was going to be some surreal dreamscape, but no. The dreams in this movie looks just like the real world. The only surreal dreamscape we get, is the one at the start, which is shown in the trailer. (And arguably one or two more, very short scenes.) My assumption is that people feel like they have to like this, because it is ""smart"" and they will be seen as dumb, if they don't. But don't worry. The only one that is dumb here, is this stupid movie. (4/10)",4 "Yes, Adam Sandler gives a terrific acting performance here. The issue is that the character spends the two hours yelling at people. A dull and uninteresting film that's only draw card is Adam Sandler acting.",3 Could have been so much better. Very formulaic. To far-fetched in some places. Not thought through.,5 "There is not much to say about Avatar 2. The story is banal and fits on a cinema ticket. This time it is set in water, as the title suggests. Those who have seen part 1 don't necessarily have to watch this again, it's almost the same film only with children. Things like this rarely go well, we remember The Mummy ( from 1999). I'm not really looking forward to part 3 at all, because part 2 set the bar so low. It's an underwater documentary with a few explosions and the usual drama-inducing scenes as the standard Hollywood film script dictates. If you haven't succumbed to the schmaltzy-looking CGI adventure after 1h, you might want to pop back in Terminator 2, a much better action film and even with a plot that really moves forward based on Part1.",3 "Very long and very boring. Watched the 3h of it in like 5h, had to pause multiple times to decide if I can still continue watching it. Besides the last 10 minutes of it, the movie is an absolute bore; I can't even understand Margot Robbie's appearance as her character is completely useless. DiCaprio's acting is 10/10, as usual, Pitt has a heartwarming character and I fell in love with the dog, Brandy, from her 1st appearance. QT is giving us his specific cringe and in my capacity as QT's huge fan, I'm very sorry to consider myself absolutely disappointed about the script, the length and most of the interpretations. Music is 10/10. I'm giving the 2/10 stars for it and for the ending. Otherwise, a big waste of time.",2 "I won't lie, I was yawning and checking the time for a large portion of the film. The acting is great but there was no plot and so much that didn't add to the story that should have been cut. I was also hoping for more background on Pitts character and his wife but it never came to fruition. The ending makes putting up with the rest of it worth it at least once. I know I'll never see this movie again though because being bored for 2/3 of a movie isn't fun. If I had been watching it at home I would have turned it off but since I was in the theatre I stuck it out but it was tough. The ending was great but was the only interesting part of the movie. I hope the two leads get nominations for their outstanding performances but QT has lost his touch as a storyteller for sure.",6 "I really cannot understand what people are thinking and giving it such high ratings. The movie, according to IMDb is supposed to be a Comedy / Drama / Romance movie. Well... forget the Comedy. The jokes are rare and oftenly poor Drama... Nope, didn't feel that Romance? Don't make me laugh. Cheesy and shallow as well. Does not creep under your skin. I expected so much more from David Russell especially after ""The Fighter"". I expected so much more from a great cast like this also. DeNiro is OK, I really liked Jacki Weavers performance but I believe Bradley Cooper was a bad casting choice. He is OK for parts like Hangover or the pretty boy in others. I also liked him in Limitless but he could not persuade me at the role of the crazy person. I would prefer another actor in his place, maybe Jack Black (that could actually bring some fun into this so- called-comedy). I think it does not even deserve a view, just proceed to the next movie choice and leave this one on the shelf",2 "FACT 1: Tom loves playing Tom on the big screen so much he needs these films more than we do. FACT 2: Unless you're someone who is okay with FACT 1 it'll bore you to the limit in about 120 seconds flat.",1 "Makes no sense, confusing and unable to follow any logical story line. Half the actors are not understandable. Special effects are nice but the story makes no sense.",4 "Great series where one character dr.smith make it one star. Upto episode 3 its ok.. but later one person who have no qualities. No help to any work. Watch everyone but no one watch her. And everyone accept whatever she says. So she must be superhero. Change the next season name to dr. Smith in space.",1 "I felt the first two seasons were good. The third one not so good. The fourth one forget about it. The show does one thing well that I like. It does the '80s time period well. From the top 40 tunes to the pop references on a set brings back nostalgia however, the children actors from the beginning of the show are no longer children but teens and so some of them losted their cuteness. They aren't as adorable as in seasons 1 & 2. The stories are completely random. The acting is poor. I think they should have call it quits after season 3. I am on episode 3. Trying to get to the end and it feels like I can bearing a cross. Good thing this is going to be the final season. The problem with television shows is to keep trying to milk additional seasons out of a hit show until they kill it and this is a good example of one. It was fine for two seasons but they just didn't know when to say when.",4 I don't get the love for this show. It's a well made and acted piece but the story did nothing for me. I found the show in general slow and uninteresting.,7 "For the fans, run, and don't look back. For those new to this lore, read the books or play the games. I tend to side with the conspiracy theorists who claim that this was made bad on purpose, because every other explanation is impossible.",1 "This is one of those TV shows where the less you read about it the more you'll enjoy it. Yes, Henry Cavill will gruffly whisper throughout the entire series. But his character is supposedly unable to feel emotion so, you know, all is forgiven. Or at least I got over it. The first two episodes drag a little and I didn't think I would make it all the way through, especially because of the whispering. But as soon as I finished the last episode I went back to the beginning to watch the entire series again. That's always a good sign. Happy Witching!",8 "The Godfather Part 2 was definitely one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. It is so much better than the first in the trilogy in every way, the effects, the acting, the dialogue, the setting and just everything. It is set over such a WIDE environment. It is a very long movie which might bore the young ones that like action-packed car chases/ explosions (which really p**ses me off) but it is an excellent movie for the REAL movie goers out there. Reasons it better than no.1: The special effects are way more up to scratch, the acting is so much better (it almost seems that all the actors from the previous outing have magically gained skills), and the structure is much more secure. It is a must-see movie that intelligent people will love.",9 "I've always found films about Boston fascinating like The Departed and The Town and this has a similar theme, kind of like The Town but a TV series. It's focuses around armoured car robberies in Charlestown showing both the criminal and law aspects. I'm a fan of Kevin Bacon and he excels In his performance. He plays it perfectly. There are great supporting actors too. If you like crime or legal dramas then I recommend this show.",8 "This movie was tripe in its elemental form. I didn't laugh once. I didn't find myself moved in any way. I found myself on the verge of sleep. Not even the beautiful Scarlett Johansson could break the abysmal drone of nothingness that followed this movie from start to finish. I watched it all; I hoped that something would happen that would break the long tone of monotonous drivel. It's a comedy alright, folks; Coppola was probably consumed in bouts of hysterical laughter at the fact that unfortunates like myself bothered to watch the movie. I guess what makes it even more funny, though a sad reflection on today's modern society, is the actuality that this 102 minute gag has received an average of 7.9 through votes by the common person. That's the real joke, right?",1 Extremely disappointing. The visuals are absolutely amazing for a tv show especially in its first season. However this is overshadowed by the extremely poor writing. The characters are politicaly correct sensitive flowers who seem to focus on the wrong issues. They are so overly preachy and boring. It is hard to watch each episode. I really really really wanted this show to be good. Unfortunately it's not... it's just boring rubbish.,1 "Boring. Though interesting at times, most of the movie was very slow!!",2 "Even Tom's and Owen's chemistry couldn't save this poorly written series. Hate that Loki has now become a clown-like character and simply doesn't exude danger and charisma like he used to. Sylvie is just annoying and rather one dimensional - she is apparently a Loki but displays none of the glamour or brooding menace I associate with the film Lokis. The 'romance' between her and Loki is just feels wrong and cringy. Either make it properly chaste like brother and sister or make it have some passion to it rather than somewhere weird in the middle. I hope series 2 is a whole lot better written and gives us some edginess back to Loki so everyone can remember why so many of us found him so attractive in the first place. Special mention to Richard E Grant in ep 5 - did a fantastic job of classic Loki and is an all-round national treasure!",5 "This is probably the best superhero movie, and much better than the first one, but not in terms of action. The action was OK, but what really shines about this movie is the duologue and drama. The villain battles are pretty good, but they usually don't last very long but boy are they great. The ending is very unpredictable, but most of the plot ""twists"" are. My friend and I went, and he hated it because it didn't have a lot of action, Although I loved it. I like the amount of drama used, and the plot twists are pretty predictable, but still used well. Recommended to everyone who likes drama and liked the first one, but don't try to go with an action fan, because they will be disappointed.",8 This series of after endgame we are finding for our new super hero cap america but i loved new character all the screenplay were good ....,7 "A bit disappointed at Jennifer. After her role in the games and how great she was. This movie is nice and entertainng to watch but not as expected.",5 "I wish i would have avoided this movie....I love sci-fi movies and I'm a big fan of nolan. This is a long,time waster sci fi drama. the plot is really childish....how can nolan deliver this crap after he wrote inception?! the casting: with all the respect to mattew mcconau-gay...I'm not buying it, I'm buying it when you are a lawyer, a runaway criminal, a sick cowboy, even a officer on a submarine....but you are not a genius NASA astronaut material amigo! Ann Hathaway...her roll as the same drop tearing eyes drama queen bullshit is not necessary at all in this flick. Matt damon...i hope they paid you lots of money for your worst acting ever. now nolan, seriously,this movie published in almost every theater all over USA and the world, not in NASA scientists limited theaters. how do expect the common people that go to the theaters to understand half of the script in your movie? I just felt dumb, and i don't think I'm that stupid.I'm sorry but a movie stop being entertaining when you cant follow whats going on ,especially in this unrealistic plot . The entire movie extraordinary things happen and there is no explanation for any of it. I would never understand how a movie like this got 8.8 stars. while coppola's apocalypse now got 8.2 !? in short...don't watch it...not even on DVD, there is nothing to gain....there is 3 hours to lose!",6 "It seems like the Coen brothers have some uncle up in the Oscar ""distributing"" jury who always comes up to them and says ""Listen, we have a couple of Oscars lying around to give up in next week's ceremony so why don't the two of you make a movie & we'll give them to you"" Come to think of it Al Pacino didn't get an Oscar for his role in The Godfather, Morgan Freeman didn't get it for Shawshank Redemption, Robert De Niro for Taxi Driver, Jack Nicholson for A Few Good Men & Frances McDormand got on Oscar for this movie for saying ""Yah"" a zillion times(in a very irritating & intolerable way). I honestly don't get what all the hype is about. Coming back to the topic, this movie very much like Coen Brother's other ""masterpieces""** Burn After Reading & No Country For Old Men, is pointless, boring and extremely overrated. It is an average movie with a week story line, irritating acting with an annoying & excessive use of the word ""Yah"". ** I would like to make an appeal to other reviewers to stop calling every other movie a ""masterpiece"". If you are about to watch this movie i would seriously suggest that you do yourself a big favor & for a change not go with what the majority views say & watch something else. And if you have already watched the movie well then ""Yah"" welcome to the club... Peace !!!",2 "OK, I see that the movie has many naysayers. I was one of them when I saw the film in 1972, and I was only fifteen at the time. I could go on and on about the film's myriad failures. It is contrived, self-important, at times even poorly staged. Which brings me to my point. A lot of people seem to forget that Coppola did not win Best Director-- Bob Fosse (for ""Cabaret') did, and deservedly so. He did a much better job. That is one of the eight Oscars that ""Cabaret"" won.The other seven just happen to be Art Direction, Cinematography, Sound, Editing,Original Score, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Actress. So when the time came to open the envelope and announce Best Picture, the Award goes instead to a film that, by that point, had won only two statues (for Actor and Adapted Screenplay). How does any movie win eight Academy Awards and fail to grab Best Picture? With that in mind, ""The Godfather"" is not merely arrogant film-making. Its history and legacy,both--just like its protagonists-- are just downright larcenous.",3 "Peter Parker can't seem to catch a break. Being Spiderman has brought him nothing but problems as far as his personal life is concerned. Not only that, Mary Jane is engaged to astronaut John Jameson, and Peter may lose her forever. Things are so bad for him he decides that he doesn't want to be Spiderman anymore. Then a freak accident transforms Dr. Otto Octavius into Dr. Octopus. Peter realizes that only Spiderman can stop him, but of course, problems arise. Mary Jane gets caught in the middle, and Harry Osborn, who still blames Spiderman for the death of his father, wants him dead. Sam Raimi being the Spider-Man fan that he is, finally is able to treat the audience with a superhero movie to be remembered. Spider Man 2 goes down in history as one of those sequels that is able to out due it's predecessor. The sequel improves on so many things that were wrong in the original, here the actors are finally comfortable in their roles, like Kristen, I didn't believe her in the first one, but this one I did. She was able to showcase her emotions more and the chemistry was there. Franco's character and performance was over-the-top. But Franco uses this to his advantage and pulls it of. Alfred Molina stole the show in this film, he was Doc Ock, perfect villain and perfect for the role. McGuire is now Spider-Man, whereas in the original, we only saw him as the nerdy Peter Parker, it took him two tries, but he finally nailed it. I loved how it went all Evil Dead in the doctor scene, with the people screaming, then out of nowhere BOOM, chainsaw, classic Sam Raimi and a great homage to his best film to date. But who can forget the Bruce Campbel cameo, and Hal sparks of course. Was there too much comedy??? well, I'm 50/50 on that, the one scene that everyone seemed to hate, but I loved would be the ""Rain drops keep falling on my head"" The little freeze at the end had my laughing, because it's Sam Raimi, he knows how to handle comedy for perfect situations. Although there was too much comedy from Peter and not enough from Spidey...I only recall one comedic thing said from Spidey, to Doc Ock in the bank...something along the lines of ""Here's your change"", then throws money at him. Where is the friendly neighborhood Spidey we all grew up with and love. The train fight is one of the best action sequences I've ever seen. I was waiting for him arms to rip out of their sockets when he was trying to stop the train from crashing over the edge. The CGI is a big improvement here, it's not all goofy comic book looking, here we see a man swing from building to building, anybody notice the costume looks darker in the CGI moments, maybe it was just me but it does. One gripe with the villain...not enough screen time. I wanted to see more of him, but whenever he's on the screen, you know it's good. It's clear that Molina is the scene stealer here. The film though was a little lengthy, they could of taken out a ""swinging moment"" here and there, those were all over the place. Raimi ends the movie perfectly, setting up the third installment, with the look of ""Am I doing the right thing?"" on MJ's face. Nice homage to The Graduate. Raimi flushes this film full of classic homages, whether it's from his own, or just classic films like King Kong, they always add a nice touch of coolness to the film. This is one of the better superhero movies out there, the fans of Spider-Man will enjoy and the movie goer will be entertained, this is a winner in my books",8 "The whole story feels so refreshing and the characters are so beautifully written that you can't help but fall in love with them. There's these two big guys in the movie that are side characters but they ended up being my favorite with their distinct funny and lovable personalities. They're almost like Disney movie characters but for adults. You also can't help but fall in love with the setting as well since it takes place on Hawaii. The chemistry between actors is unmatched. It's like they're all on the same wavelength and can riff off each other with no problem. Everyone understands the assignment, even the side actors and extras, and it shows in their performances. It's kinda hard to describe the feeling you get from watching this movie, but I guess some words that help describe it are: feel-good, cozy, hilarious, sincere. Mila Kunis looks more beautiful than ever in this movie, it's like she's a goddess or something - she's glowing. If you haven't fallen in love with Mila Kunis yet, you definitely will in this movie. Kristen Bell gives a wonderful performance as well playing the sort of villain in the movie. She taps into her more sentimental dramatic side, without also neglecting her funny side, and it balances the rest of the comedy in the movie so well. Russell Brand is hilarious as the cool yet self-absorbed lothario singer. Jason Segel, who also wrote the movie, plays the heartbroken yet funny main character who ends up finding hope and moving on with the help of Mila's character. It's a well written rom-com movie that feels very refreshing with all of it's wonderful characters and hilarious moments. They've perfected the Rom-com formula with this one, this is how you make a comedy breakup film. It's a must-watch.",8 "Really I didn't expect it to be this good. The direction and the humor are at it's best. If you are thinking you should watch it or not, take my suggestion and, watch it. Everyone in the movie was brilliant. Only one thing, it could be little bit shorter. Still worth a watch.",8 One of the worst sketch comedies of all-time definitely not madtv or chappelle show so how anybody ever thought these guys were funny is beyond me but this show sucks donkey balls,1 "Don't base your opinion on the first two episodes alone, it definitely kicks off after them. Wish the episodes were longer!",8 "A film with the sort of depth only Keanu Reeves could capture. Really nifty eye-candy; really weak script. Like Independence Day with LESS substance. ..if that's possible. Anyway, in the era of ""high-concept"" films, can't someone who can write dialogue actually get to come in and make it so you don't cringe at the spoken words in between Industrial Light & Magic effects?",2 "Only Murders in the Building, is a show I would watch over and over again. Every single time I watch it, I notice something new, or catch an easter egg. The show itself is amazing, with an all-star cast and funny jokes sprinkled throughout each episode. I think Martin Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomez bring a lot to their roles. Even the supporting cast members have such personality, I couldn't keep my eyes off of them. It has amazing, yet chilling, music that really relaxes you if you have been having a bad day. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone who is a fan of mystery and thriller. It will definitely not disappoint.",9 "I'm a big fan of GOT and came to this sequel a little bit skeptical In the first episodes I felt a bit confused and unsure of how the series was supposed to develop, it was hard for me to connect with the characters and the acting of most of the actors was lame. I think that it was only from the middle of the series, and especially after the change of the cast, that the series started to take off and reach the level of Game of Thrones. It's a bit hard for me to imagine the series without the king, he should definitely get an Emmy for his role, his scenes were unforgettable, especially the eye for an eye scene. I'm looking forward to the second season, it's just a shame that there's such a long wait between seasons, I'm considering waiting at least 2-3 whole seasons to continue watching. Another excellent series from HBO.",8 "Show of the year!! Funny , and gets you hooked up.",10 "The 1st season was entertaining, infact I felt it was one of the best fantasy series. But the 2nd season has lost its potential to much chit chat. And feels like short story is stretched to many episodes. 5/10 for 2nd season.",5 "One Punch Man is a cold refresh in the new era of anime, visually enchanting, funny at every moment and hilarious in the plot. From the first seconds of the first episode it's clear that the central idea about Saitama is make a new concept in the super-heroes stories, and let me tell you that it's very well achieved. Every time it's possible the series goes around the ludicrous bureaucracy that affects every organization, and make fun of that without leaving the battle between good and evil. Saitama, and almost all the other characters, have a real life; they work for living, they make their own shopping at the grocery, they bath, eat at restaurants, etc. but never forget their main responsibility: be part of the super-heroes society and fight against evil. This is a central point in the series, because it's about super-heroes and the protection of the world. One of the best things of the series is that anyone of the characters never leaves their natural innocence, and make you feel good about their feeling, even when their are trying to destroy something or annihilate the whole human race. All this components make this series a very well developed story, and possibly a new classic.",9 "I have just finished watching the movie on Prime Video and everything is absolutely fresh in my mind right now. I had no idea what I was going in for. I didn't read the original book or watch any trailer before seeing this movie. All I had heard was that this takes place in the same universe as Harry Potter, which is why I watched it. And honestly speaking, this movie is nothing different from what I expected it would be. The problem with this movie is that it's very, very cliched. It uses those exact plot points that make an annoying movie, well, annoying. That's literally how this movie begins: Making an annoying creature do things for which the protagonist gets in trouble. This is just like how Dobby was in The Chamber of Secrets, except over there he was doing it because he had been asked to do so. The marsupial mole over here wasn't doing it for any particular reason at all, except for being cringy. If I were Newt I'd have just let him get caught and die. And then of course, Newt is unregistered. The way the movie began made it seem like Newt was a complete idiot, except that the whole point behind his character is that he's smart. He's the only one person who cares about the beasts of the magical world unlike the zoophobic wizards. Every species in this whole movie - muggles, wizards, magical creatures - everyone was unlikeable. They all did things which made me want them to get their comeuppance. The only thing that saved this movie for me was the world building. I have heard that the book is actually a guidebook for all the creatures living in their universe. So this, being an adaptation, was the only good part in the entire movie. And it was so beautiful that I enjoyed this otherwise irritating movie. I really wish that was the main focus of the movie instead of them being about fugitives running from the law and something something Ezra Miller. Another thing I really liked about this movie is the depiction of the 1920's America. All the characters looked like they belonged in that age. The ignorant, hateful behaviour of the people from that time was very well depicted, if that was intentional. The acting was great. People reacted just like how they would if the CGI was present before them in real life. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a movie that seems to be more oriented for a young audience, since they are the ones who will find it more appealing. It has cool and cute animals, funny scenes, childish storyline and overall the 90's and early 00's vibe to it. It's a one time watch for the adults, since the only good thing to offer for a mature audience is the phenomenal CGI. It won't remain as interesting if watched for a second time, which is why I'd recommend you to not ruin the experience by watching it for the second time.",7 Many men die- that's the plot. Many men die again. Bad men die. Good men die.,1 "Summary: Dark, atmospheric and complemented by fitting soundtracks, Death note, built upon the dynamics of two polar opposite geniuses playing mind-games as they try to out-maneuver each other at every step, takes the over-the-top nature of anime and combines it with a certain degree of realism, making the perfect formula for a powerful thriller involving tense, complex situations which aren't entirely nonsensical. Unfortunately it is good only for the first half of the show which is a completely self-contained story by the way. The second part fails in multiple ways as it tries to imitate the first half but lacking its heart, only manages to extend it unnecessarily and taint its reputation. The shows consists of 37 episodes, 25 of which make the fabulous first half. Premise: It has unique premise involving a supernatural item called Death note, a notebook which can kill anyone whose name is written on it and whose working is described in a pretty detained manner. It falls into the possession of a genius teenager who wants to use it to 'cleanse the world from criminal filth' by killing them off and becoming a symbol of fear and justice but before that he must deal with a certain 'world's greatest detective' who is set to stop this arrogant abuse of power. First I'll discuss the first half of the show; how it keeps the viewers interested, what are its good points and what are the aspects that felt underwhelming. How does it captures the viewers interest? A large chunk of the show involves: 1. A spirit of rivalry between the main character Light Yagami and the antagonist detective L. Both share moments with each other as suspect and detective. Both are very interesting characters and have some qualities completely opposite to each other, so its interesting to see them juxtaposed. For eg: Light is a liar and a narcissist. He can be charming whenever he wants to be. He deals with problems in a clever but straightforward way. L on the other is honest, doesn't care about how others see him, is quirky and awkward and unorthodox and unpredictable in his way of dealing with things. At the same time both the characters are similar to some extent. Both are very intelligent and are represented as a symbol of justice, when in truth neither care about justice so much as they do about being right and satisfying their ego . L just wants to be right about his conclusions and Light uses his twisted sense of justice to satisfy his God complex. 2. L coming up with clever ways to catch the mysterious, 'supernatural' killer of criminals, that surprises the audience, a feeling shared by the side characters who work with him as well. I find it somewhat amusing when side characters analyse, appreciate and act surprised at the main characters doing extraordinary stuff because of how over-the-top and overused it is. Since L is dealing with a supernatural enemy he knows nothing about, he looks for patterns and tries to figure out, how the killer works. 3. Light also exploring and experimenting with the working of the death note. The notebook which kills anyone whose name is written on it. What if two or more people share the same name? What will be the cause of their death? Can the cause be altered? To what degree? Its interesting to learn about such an elaborate system. 4. Light coming up with an equally clever way to deal with L's plans. You can even hear Light's monolgues about his thought process which makes everything more intense and interesting to follow. Light finds himself in situations that can ruin everything he has worked for, yet he thinks of something clever and works up to get the desired result which is difficult to achieve. This creates a strong sense of thrill. In the beginning episodes, Light goes to many different places to deal with different kinds of situations on the spot. This kind of traveling, change of environment always feels great. 5. Light showing the kind of person he is. Its interesting because Light is one heck of a character. Although usually stoic, nonchalant and reserved, Light is very expressive when it comes to his secret life of 'bringer of justice'. His reactions to whenever he outwit anyone, is a sight to behold. The sly smile followed by crazy maniacal laughter if the place allows it, the desperate obsession to 'defeat' L is really interesting to watch. The good points: 1. It has one of the most intriguing beginning. It will get you hooked instantly. 2. A very interesting main character. His traits complement each other. These include stoic personality, a detachment from life because its boring, a disgust for filthy criminals, sociopathic personality, narcissism, asexual orientation, high intelligence, ability to socialize and act charmingly whenever required etc. His monolgues and thinking process are interesting to hear, plans are clever and the sheer amount of chaotic aura he emits whenever someone innocent who dared to challenge him falls a victim to his scheming, is beautifully depicted. He is a true villain main character. 3. A perfect antagonist, who as mentioned before shares many similarities and differences with the protagonist. His cleverness combined with quirkiness is charming in its own way. 4. The show doesn't take sides. It doesn't put L on a pedestal and treats Light as a villain destined to lose. You can root for either. One can't predict who will win the battle of wits. 5. Its very thrilling, intense and clever. One genius trying to manipulate the other. One with supernatural aid, other with the aid of the law system and organization. Both finding themselves in tense situations and trying to outwit their rival. The things that lead to the situations and the characters' way of handling it is sufficiently believable. What makes a situation thrilling? There are many factors like the viewers must care about the characters, the stakes must be high, the outcome unpredictable, the actions believable, the directing, silence, music etc. Based on these criterias, Death note is indeed a great thriller. 6. Elaborated rules about the working of the supernatural elements i.e. Death note. 7. The last two episodes and the ending is really good. 8. The visuals. Dark, atmospheric, beautiful, unique. It has a gothic feel in 2000s setting. Sometimes everything becomes sepia, while only L and Light's hair remain blue and red colored respectively which looks really cool. The tall glass buildings at night or dusk is something you'll get to see frequently and its beautiful. Visuals also include character designs and they are perfectly fitting to each character. Light's stoicism, charm and villanous aura and L's calmness and quirkiness are perfectly encapsulated by their respective designs. The artstyle is one of the most beautiful in all of fiction. However the animation while good, could've been better or clearer. 9. The music. Again, one of the best ost set in all of fiction. Perfectly fits the visual style and the feeling the anime wants to evoke. The music has a Christian feel to it. Infact, some of the music is inspired from Gregorian chant. It has lots of ominous music that Light would love to hear while celebrating his victory with a smug smile after crushing innocent lives for the 'bigger good'. It also has the music that can be described as the sound of high functioning sociopaths thinking. The intro and outro are also perfect. The second opening in particular which is a metal music evoking the feeling of sheer insanity. The bad points: 1. Death note isn't exactly rational fiction. The individuals and organizations must act in a believable manner with as little plot convenience as possible. Sometimes the characters may not take the best or safest decision, or may come up with a plan involving too much convenience or luck. 2. Even the first half of the show isn't perfect in terms of enjoyment. There are certain plot points which undermine aspects that made the show good. For example the rivalry between Light and L as well as the villanous nature of Light is temporarily thrown out of the window in the middle of the series for reasons I can't reveal without spoiling. At the beginning of the show, in the first 10 or 11 episodes, Light used to go to different places and deal with various kinds of problems or situations on the spot. This outgoing nature of Light and thus the plot becomes less relevant as the show progresses. As I have already mentioned before countless times, the rivalry between L and Light and the villanous nature of Light drives the show. Without it, there isn't a lot to keep the audience interested. As a result, the quality shakes slightly during the middle of the first part of the show. Anyway the dip in quality isn't too big and the last 2 episodes of the first part and its ending makes up for it. 3. A female character named Misa Amane, a young goth girl with blonde hair plays a very important role in the anime. Unfortunately she is an obsessive simp for Light, who behaves in a dumb manner and is treated as a comic relief. Her character is obviously exaggerated and obsession with the leader or idol of a cult (as Light's action become more and more noticeable, people start supporting the mysterious bringer of justice) isn't entirely impossible but Misa is not a very interesting character and is somewhat incongruous to the tone of the series. 4. Sometimes, the show can become too over the top. Now coming to the 2nd part of the show. I'll keep it short. Good points: The last two episodes and the ending. It was very intense. There were some problems with the ending but it was as good as the ending of the first half of the show if not better, especially in terms of raw emotion. The animation and music was still good ofcourse. Bad points: Tries to imitate the first half but lacks everything that made it good. The new characters weren't very interesting. The cleverness of the show was gone. The pacing was too fast. Felt nothing while watching it.",6 "In the world of superheroes, all the Batmans, Supermans, Spidermans, Hulks and X-Men are constantly saving mankind from the cataclysmic forces of evil but in the world of movies, they have a far stronger nemesis to battle. Here, our Superheroes have to battle themselves. Meaning, The sequel has to outperform its predecessor. Mankind doesn't accept distinction as the Superhero's strength. It simply warrants comparison in order to find similarities. ""Oh the 'Dark Knight' was better than 'Batman Begins' and so too was 'Spiderman II' than 'Spiderman I' as was 'Incredible Hulk' than 'Hulk' but 'Superman II' was not as good as 'Superman' nor was any of the 'X-Men' better than their original"" etc etc.... While 'Spiderman' excelled with Sam Raimi and cute boy Tobey, 'Batman' had the darkness of Christopher Nolan and composure of Bale. But none of the superheroes have one critical factor that IronMan does....... ROBERT F****** DOWNEY JR.!! Jon Favreau has re-written the IronMan that Marvel created and Downey Jr. is solely responsible for the mayhem. This loose cannon character continues to be arrogant and foolhardy but at the same time, ultra cool at what he does. When it is his time to battle, he is an indefatigable Power Suit that can unleash more weapons from his arsenal than perhaps the US Army. With a shrapnel in his heart, Tony Stark is the flirtatious, hard-drinking, often careless billionaire who has no agenda against evil save the anxiety to obliterate them with his machinery. This IronMan needs no introduction and therefore, there isn't any discovery element to the sequel. Rather, there is an omnipresent threat of IronMan's technology coming into wrong hands; which it does. Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), the Russian physicist son of Anton Vanko (who partnered with Tony Stark's father before they had a fall out over a new technology) seeks revenge for his family's ruin and as Whiplash, he boldly and brutally interrupts the Monaco GP, challenging Stark for an impromptu duel. But Little did he know about that briefcase.... Stark's competitor, Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) subsequently plans the escape of Vanko from prison to give him a playground where he could create an army that would overpower IronMan and make billions for Hammer Industries. Lt. Col. Rhodey (Don Cheadle) on the other hand is frustrated with Stark's carelessness but is bound by his friendship with him. Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) still tries to balance Tony Stark's life, this time in a professional manner. We are also introduced to Marvel's Black Widow played by Scarlett Johansson who plays Natalie Rushman, after looking at whom Stark's reaction is, ""I want one!"". She is employed by Nick Fury's (Samuel Jackson) S.H.I.E.L.D. that insists on IronMan becoming stronger for his adversaries while they plan an elusive saga of their own. With so much happening, one could get disengaged from the multiple characters and sub-plots but when your seat vibrates with the motion of the incoming IronMan flying into the screen for the climax, all you can do is whistle loud. Hammer's droid army (with a pre-programmed War Machine for Lt. Cl. Rhodey) attack IronMan all throughout the Stark Expo and the final showdown includes the bad-ass Whiplash at his formidable best. With AC/DC rocking in the background, the metal clanging is intense and exhilarating but one does wish for more of Whiplash especially with Rourke's excellent portrayal of the cunning Ivan Vanko. That said, Jon Favreau's sequel to IronMan is by no means a weak film. Performances are excellent, screenplay is absorbing and the action is explosive. It is clear that Favreau and Downey Jr. were simply enjoying themselves filming every scene. Downey's mischief, bravado, recklessness and ineptitude at being composed is altogether great fun to watch. He is as much fun outside his suit as he is inside it and that; is essentially Favreau's strength with this franchise. One cannot watch a full length film on Bruce Wayne or Peter Parker but Tony Stark??! Hell Yeah! While the newer characters and metal clanging may have displeased some fans of the 'Strictly Part 1' superhero movies, it does please comic book fans who get some introduction to the vast world of Marvel Comics with Whiplash, Black Widow, War Machine and.... uhh... never mind the after credits part.... These fans will be mighty pleased with the explosive action and characters while the rest who complaint have surely enjoyed Robert Downey Jr's entertainment. In the end, Stark's courtroom quote sums up the IronMan franchise's core strength and distinction: ""I am Iron Man. The suit and I are one"". P.S. - Marvel fans: Stay put till after the credits....",9 "The film does its job of setting up the backstory of Wonder Woman but it shouldn't be receiving as much praise as it is getting. At the start, you get back story of her and the world the universe is in but if you are a good listener and use logic, you will know something is amiss and you get frustrated at Diana for not figuring it out for herself, this casts a bad shadow over the rest of the film in my opinion as I had that as a constant nagging thought. Which also ruined the 'plot twist'. The cinematography for the action was the main good thing for me. They slowed it down so you can see the punches make contact and it isn't flurried random action. However, the permanent gray filter after leaving the Amazonians Island can make it difficult to see at times. However, I have one major complaint in relation to the action. You see people get shot and stabbed but there is no blood whatsoever. People are mortally wounded and killed by guns but there is no wounds or blood. Diana tries to put pressure on a wound of a friend that doesn't exist and when she removes her hand it isn't bloodied. This issue makes the film extremely unrealistic despite it trying to be gritty and realistic. Also, it isn't reassuring that at my screening, people were not laughing at the 'comedy moments'(which if you like cringey awkward misunderstanding humour you will love it) but they were instead laughing at what were meant to be serious scenes. Besides the action scenes, it was just okay. I personally did not end up invested in the romance or any of the characters and it wasn't funny when it was trying to be. Just go watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.",5 "Somehow the planners and writers seemed to think that throwing in as many plot lines and characters as possible to the first 2/3 of the film would be fun and make sense. IT DID NOT! Most, honestly I am one to do polling of fellow viewers after the film, didn't get the story at all. The last third was good only because it did something. Besides talk and introduce new characters no one cared about or understood why they were in the film. Sorry this was a not nice effort. Left the people, myself gasping for understanding. VERY CONFUSED FILM!",3 "After reading reviews with ratings of 1, Let me see what I am missing. At first this movie series was somewhat confusing to follow. I had to back track several times to get a good idea of what is going on. I saw hoe difficult it would be to follow the ""game"" concept, but it tried so hard to stick to the context of the story. Some say that this is a cheap imitation of Game of Thrones... I don't think so. But as I watched the series I begin to understand that I needed to have played the games on Witcher 1, and Witcher 2. I only became familiar with the game ""Game of the Year Edition""... And while playing the game, I never really bothered reading the books found in the games, or I just read some that pertains to the game, but missed on the story entirely. I might revisit that. The only negative I found is that Season 2 is not coming soon enough. Might have to wait a year for the release of Season 2, and I think Netflix dropped the ball. Because of the length of time of the next release for season 2, there might not be an audience for season 2. Hopefully the would not wait to release the entire season, but release each episode per week or something, while creating Season 3.... It can be done. Making different stories.... Maybe other Witchers adventuring other parts of the world, and coming together at the finale of the season, whenever that may be. I think the story telling is great, acting is great, and special effects is not cheap at all.",9 "I've just seen drama/comedy film, action/comedy film, but this was the first time I saw a thriller/comedy film and it was amazing. The story is very funny and the characters brilliant. She deserved the Oscar and the rest of the cast was brilliant too. If you didn't watch it yet, don't delay... Go for it. JA! JA!",7 "I gave this a high rating realizing that it isn't Citizen Kane, nor is it Lawrence of Arabia, but it moved me to tears more than once, and made me laugh frequently, and it tackled important issues and held out the possibility of solutions, something Hollywood films used to do routinely. Too many Hollywood films in this era are made for kids in search of quick thrills, and that's fine, except the menu lacks balance. A constant diet of guns, explosions and emotional violence certainly doesn't model well as a reflection of the nation, does it? It is refreshing to find a beautifully acted story of a man who feels the magnetic pull of the homeland and struggles with giving up all his hard-earned wealth and glory to commit himself to others--what a novel idea! Name a major recent film that suggests such a thing! Very real third-world problems are graphically delineated, but as in other Bollywood films, there is always time for song and dance, and it's fun to take a break. I do not claim greatness for this film, but I was highly entertained every minute and admired the craft it took to marry the music, images and story. We used to make films about heroes and creators and except for the recent Lincoln, they remain far and few. Swades reminds me a good deal of Frank Capra films from the 1930's, but with more color, and certainly a good deal more dance.",9 "The values in this movie suck. There is so much tribalism, violence, focus on vengeance, unending platitudes and lousy acting. For the money spent making this movie I hoped there would be more natural beauty as there was in the first movie; to my mind, there was very little. The acting was poor, and there were far too many stereotypes. The movie was way too long; what little plot could have been accomplished in much less time. The director said he cut 10 minutes of graphic violence that he thought was excessive; what he left in was excessive. Whoever financed this movie deserves to lose money, in my opinion. Yes, there were novel special effects, but to what end? Leaving the villain alive at the end serves the hope that a sequel can be made. I certainly won't be wasting my money on it if it is made. This movie sucks!",2 "Can you anyone explain me what the hell that movie try to understand or show us,,,,, I could understand a anything in that movie,,,",6 "This would have been a good movie if it wasn't for the left wing propaganda and agendas included in it which were obviously geared against conservatives and attacking conservatives. Politics should have no business in movies but that seems to be the norm these days. It's like giving a kid ice cream but stuffing it with brussel sprouts so he eats his vegetables without realizing it, except in this case it's obvious. I miss the good old days when a movie was made for the purpose of entertainment not indoctrination. Too bad, it would have been a good movie otherwise and for this reason I give it 1 star and highly recommend not watching it.",1 "This is a very clever film with wonderful acting, a script to die for, and a message that resonates today just as it did nearly 100 years ago. It's not perfect, but you rarely get to see a film with so much charm, wit, and messaging. The lead actors all do a great job, though some might think there is a little ripping off the scenery, but I think that's intended. And FWIW the only actor who can't be accused of that is Robert DeNiro who is well known for chewing the scenery, yet keeps his mannerisms in tow for this one. There is simply too much good to list it all, so I'll just point out the problems that results in a 9 (instead of a 10). I'm not sure the 30s racism is adequately portrayed, and I think the XCU are overdone. Otherwise, a must to see. Don't leave when the credits start to roll.",9 "I do not know what kind of PR team the production team has hired to promote this film, but obviously they are doing great job as it has already higher score than Inception... Seriously guys??? This film has 5/10 stars at best, and even that for just potential. Rest of it is lost because the film has absolutely no logic to it. Stupid, illogical and at times really boring and long. Even though I am no scientist, it was so stupid on so many levels with even the most basic of facts that I have no comments to this.... Set your expectations low- no way in hell does this film deserve any of that praise posted here....",5 "The return of the R-rated comedies is reaching full force, as we now have a new group of actors that's giving the Frat Pack some competition. Starting with the short-lived television shows ""Freaks and Geeks"" and ""Undeclared;"" Judd Apatow, Seth Rogan, and a slew of other buddies have emerged from the shade and into the spotlight with consecutive hits. Already with one summer success under their belt (Knocked Up), the crew has decided to take on the R-rated High School genre. This genre doesn't see much success, with movies like American Pie becoming an exception to the rule. Nonetheless, with its inability to hold back punches and amazing amount of energy and chemistry amongst the actors and actresses, Superbad looks like a hit from a mile away. While this movie does indeed deliver more laughs than the American Pie films, it's still far from perfect. The movie drags, there isn't much content underneath the vulgarity and jaw-dropping moments, and it lacks the emotion and chemistry from previous hits ""Knocked Up"" and ""The 40-Year-Old Virgin."" But if you are looking for a raunchy good time, then look no further, because Superbad is quite a naughty little flick. Superbad follows two high school friends that are about to separate once the semester is over. Seth (Jonah Hill) is a vulgar, unsympathetic, foul-mouthed, and sex-starved class clown; while his best friend Evan (Michael Cera) is a shy nice guy who has strong feelings for the pretty Becca (Martha MacIsaac). Together, they will try to score with their current crushes by joining a party and promising alcohol---with the help of the nerdy and antisocial Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Along the way they will not only run into a bunch of quirky and sometimes dangerous scenarios, but it will also unleash the vent-up anger that all three have towards each other. Written by Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg, these two know how to incorporate high school anxieties and fears and embarrassments without the movie feeling clichéd. What makes Superbad so fresh and unique is that it does not fear offending nor does it fear potentially grossing the audience out. In here we get some really raw dialogue, graphic imagery, and plenty of gross-out humor. Taking place over the course of one evening, Superbad follows in the footsteps of previous high school classics like American Graffiti. Superbad is funny, no question, there are plenty of wonderful one-liners and funny moments (especially in the first act). Yet going past the humor, it lacks the heart that classic high school movies contain. Also it doesn't help that our main character is a bit of a jerk. Why Seth and Evan are together is a bit questionable considering that Seth usually has nothing good to say, and Evan has nothing but a pure good heart and admirable qualities. The black sheep of the trip is Fogell, whose appearance with the other two is also questionable considering the lack of decent treatment he gets. The audience winds up rooting for Fogell in the end of the movie, not really Seth (Or it could be because he's actually McLovin, like the previews showed). What keeps Superbad afloat is actually the well-written story, as the impossibility of accomplishing their mission becomes more and more present as the third act approaches. This movie steers in many unique directions, and becomes quite unpredictable. Greg Mottola, not Judd Apatow like the commercials make it seem, is running the show. In the director chair, he limits the improvising and focuses more on the story. That's what makes Superbad less of a quotable movie than previous adult comedies, yet maintains stability---until the end. The third act practically runs out of steam, as it looks like they didn't quite know how to end the movie. Instead, we are received with an ending that leaves out characters for the last several minutes, and doesn't quite feel complete. You need a feel-good ending in these types of films, and it just wasn't delivered here. Bottom Line: Superbad isn't an instant classic, nor is it a disappointing disaster. Instead, it's a decent flick with its issues and problems. The ending wasn't great, the main characters doesn't incite sympathy or support from the viewers, the running time felt a bit long, and it doesn't help that it has to follow-up to gems like recent adult comedies 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Wedding Crashers, and Harold and Kumar. The writing, directing, and editing were fine up until the very end, when they didn't quite know how to finish the picture. The acting was good, but the characters they were portraying just weren't that interesting(with the exception of McLovin). The genre has very few true classics and complete films, so despite the setbacks this still stands as one of the better high school comedies in recent years. Going with friends would definitely enhance the experience, as you all can relive the good ol' days of high school and the embarrassing moments that follow.",6 "I know this should be cool and edgy way to enter wandavision, but all and all it is simply boring. It gets better later on, but waaaaayyyy too slowly.",5 "This movie is a bit longer than 2 hours, it took me about 4 hours to finish it. Why? Because I paused frequently. To check this, to do that. Basically, I was bored. It was too jumbled, too many heroes in the same room. First half in: way too many jokes. I swear I was expecting someone to fart at some point. all the others looked pretty worn out and tired as I felt at the end of this movie. Not many sparks. Mostly CGI and fan fiction. And dramatic music, pretty much non-stop. No soul. No soul is the death of love.",4 "Ah, the simple joys of childhood. Ignorance was bliss and one of my favorite anime of all time was DRAGONBALL. I watched Dragonball back in the 90s long before i saw Dragonball Z(which only showed here in 2000), and it soon became one of my favorite shows on TV. I proudly paraded my Dragonball school bag in front of my classmates, owned dragonball key chains, even had a dragonball water bottle. Fast forward a full decade to 2007. In lieu of the announcement of a live action Dragonball movie(do check out my other review of Dragonball Evolution), i decided to pick up the remastered DVDs of the classic Dragonball anime series(which was going cheap, so how could i resist). 2 episodes into it and I was sadly asking myself ""what the hell was i thinking?"". Checking out the rest of the series on youtube did not help either. I cannot believe i used to like such an absurd, silly and bizarre show! It is more like a badly handled satire comedy than an action adventure that i initially thought it was. So many outrageous elements are thrown into the mix like weird talking animal characters, anthropomorphic people, Goku's monkey tail, characters with outrageous hair. The show can't seem to decide if it wants to be a fantasy story or a sci/fi story. We have fantasy elements like magic, flying clouds and fantasy landscapes together with futuristic cities, hover cars, alien races and other science fiction technology. There are even pop culture references like Master Roshi disguising as ""Jackie Chun(Chan)"" Oh and did I mention the characters? Though highly interesting for all their quirks and allowed to develop well over the course of the show, they often fall into pre-set anime stereotypes. Goku is your typical arrogant kid main character, Bulma is the typical temperamental screaming female lead, Roshi is the usual ""lecherous old man"" and ""Ancient kung fu master"" stereotypes in one character, the list goes on. Oh and the NAMES of the characters are so nonsensical when you actually think about it. The creator was probably really hungry when he thought up those names as a lot of them are named after food. Examples include ""Bulma Briefs""(a brand of underwear maybe?), ""Yamcha""(which means ""to drink tea""), ""ChiChi""(which is an adjective for ""trendy"" or ""chic""), ""Piccolo""(a tiny woodwind instrument), Puer and Oolong(different kinds of tea) and Pilaf(a rice dish). There is absolutely no end to the bizarreness of this show. On the plus side, the characters do have their enduring moments and the story does advance at a good pace. But more often than not, it gets bogged down in lame jokes and funny moments, hardly ever taking itself seriously. The animation itself is standard low budget 80s fare with nothing special at all. If i suffered from selective memory like so many fans out there, I would have gladly given Dragonball 10/10 based solely on a fleeting childhood memory from the good ol days of ignorance. But being objective here, I can safely say that while the story, setting and characters are funny, quirky and interesting at first, it soon becomes really boring and starts to grate on the nerves. The look and feel of the show is highly juvenile but the writing is definitely NOT FOR KIDS. There is a good deal of nudity and sexual jokes here. Some are fine, but it does tend to get overboard just a little bit. The violence, naked scenes, dirty humour, all make this show highly unsuitable for a younger audience. However, any adult with half a mind for decent storytelling would immediately be put off by the child-like simplicity of the plot and the absurdity of the characters. This seems to be made for the same audience that adores silly spoof shows like Scary Movie and Meet The Spartans. Dragonball is at most a homage/spoof/satire/ of the action/adventure/sci-fi(hell its every single genre yet none at all) genre of Japanese anime.",5 "Captain America: Civil War is an absolute masterpiece. My only con with this film is that the 1st act is pretty weak, and it left me pretty bored. But it IMMEDIATELY got better! First, Spider-Man was just an absolute JOY to watch. He was funny, he was cool, and he was just a great character. Black Panther was also a phenomenal character. He was an absolute kick-butt guy who made for some great action scenes; Which I LOVE! Seriously, EVERY SINGLE battle scene in the film, (Yes, even those in the first act), had me feeling great about this film. In conclusion, Civil War might just be the BEST film in the MCU so far; And I am proud to give it an 8.9 out of 10.",9 "Meh it was Ok, just OK but yuh if your a fan of the sequel you'll appreciate it lol",6 The Bridge of Spies film did not really interest me much. There were some scenes that had me interested but overall it was not the best film that I have ever seen before. I would not watch this film again just for the simple fact that I am not really interested in cold war films or films that do not really show much. I do recommend this film to anyone who does enjoy cold war films though. Another reason for me not really enjoying this film is because I did not get to see a good chunk of the middle and I missed the whole ending. Overall this film was not enjoyable to me and I will not be watching it again.,4 I thought this was really good. Just sorry to hear that they are not going to make a second season. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 3/31/2021.,8 "While living his modern life, Steve Rogers fought alongside S. H. I. E. L. D. to eradicate the covert evil that threatened their existence. This time, Steve has to face the Winter Soldier who is none other than his past friend. The story of Captain America in the Marvel Universe is undoubted. An interesting heroic story with a series of Chris Evans performances that look mighty. Continuing from the first film, The Winter Soldier comes with a more interesting story than the first film. Introducing Winter Soldier as the antagonist and Sam Wilson as Falcon who becomes Steve's new partner provides a fairly dense story and conflict. Conflict is a dense problem by presenting a political story in it. The presence of Hydra in S. H. I. E. L. D's body makes for a good and somewhat unexpected storyline. The depth and density of conflict can be seen from the many new problems that arise gradually. Also brings good action action. The Winter Soldier brings to the story of the Marvel Universe hero film that is memorable dark and deep. It can be seen from the plot that is able to describe Steve and Bucky's relationship which looks close and emotional. Also Steve and Natasha's relationship in their romantic story. In addition, The Winter Soldier is also fairly capable of providing changes and nuances that are different from the previous film. This can be seen from the sharp visuals and cinematography that leads to one focal point that produces strong scenes. The Winter Soldier is a Marvel Universe film series than films like Iron Man and Thor which so far have not looked satisfactory.",8 The Cast and Crew did a phenomenal job in depicting cultural and emotional relevance. It's such a satisfying film to watch with all human elements played with in the story's characters.,9 "Don't mention 4 and 5, season 1,2 and 3 are great though so go watch it. I don't really want to spoil anything this is funniest to go in blind.",9 "Hugh Dancy does an excellent job as Will Graham. The only thing I remember him from is Evening with wife Claire Danes, and while he was great there too this is quite something else! Mikael Madds seemed an unlikely Hannibal to me - mostly because when I think of Hannibal I think of a role immortalized by Anthony Hopkins. But setting aside the traditional Hannibal Lecter image he does a very good job. He's less obviously deranged, more business-like, and lacks the horrific grin that made The Silence of the Lambs one of the scariest thrillers of the nineties. He gives a very polished performance, which works for the Hannibal in this universe. The entire series is full of gore and aberrant violence, but is so ultra-polished in its execution it lacks the grimy dirtiness of having a job like Graham's (Dancy). That being said all in all it is a very entertaining, very gruesome, and very intense show. An addictive watch, definitely not having me look at my own watch. Roll on season 2. And watch out for Eddie Izzard in a bizarre, alien role. He's one of the highlights - part of a league of older actors who do surprisingly dark projects.",8 "In Hollywood, most of our movies have plots, in independent movies and those from overseas, more often than not movies have stories. A story is far superior to a plot. Plots fill in gaps with special effects and gimmicks and have awkward moments where the elements or story don't fit. It's like the difference between events related by a man who is telling the truth vs. a man making up a lie. The one man is focused like a beam of light, while the other is pulling rabbits out of his backside. Stories flow with smooth logic from event to event and have layers of meaning to be explored with additional viewings whereas a plot tends to be two dimensional. ""Batman Begins"" has a story and in my opinion is a masterpiece. ""The Dark Knight"" has a disjointed plot(with incredibly cool effects and gimmicks). All three Spiderman movies and The Fantastic Four movies have plots. ""V For Vendetta"" has a story to tell. ""Ironman"" has an improved plot. Batman is a twist on perhaps the oldest religious theme in human history, the battle between the light and darkness. The twist is that he is of darkness, but battles for the light. He is an alter ego that conforms neither to a constitution nor the laws of any land, but instead walks a very fine line which he must often step over into the realm of lawbreaker. This comic book character is a hijack waiting to happen for a pro-torture political argument. However, applying ""The Dark Knight"" movie as a metaphor to the real world is really problematic and is in fact a horribly flawed argument. In the context of the times, George W. Bush would be Bruce Wayne (ok when you're done laughing or throwing up) with a heroic but dark alter ego (Dick Cheney) that allows him to skirt the law and do what must be done for the good of the people. But seriously, the common theme of all Batman shows is that the ordinary police, courts, and judges are hopelessly incompetent, corrupt, and incapable of administering order and justice on behalf of the people. Therein lays the rationale for the existence of the Batman. The problem in the real world argument is that in this country, the justice system is none of these things, but does on occasion display such failings as they are after all human institutions. Our justice system with some fine tuning, such as removing the two tier system where the rich are favored over the poor (ie. O.J. murder trial), may in fact be the best justice system anyone's ever going to develop. To my knowledge, no one has topped it yet. So first and foremost, no such vigilante is required (particularly not a power drunk redneck who couldn't karate chop a ham sandwich). But I will say, Dick Cheney was ordained by God to play the character Penguin. Second, laws and particularly a constitution as a framework for government and to govern our ordinary lives, CANNOT be compromised without grave harm that inevitably destroys the foundation of the system in which they comprise. Commissioner Gordon ""looks the other way"" and ""abets"" Batman by supplying him with information, so that he may then do whatever he deems necessary to achieve the end result that they both wish for. In the case of ""The Dark Knight"", Batman drops a man from a building subsequently breaking one of his legs to get information that will save the lives of innocent people. This is a new turn in the chronicles of the comic book character. Previously he would do what was necessary to capture criminals, which sometimes resulted in inadvertent harm, but never intentionally inflicted harm upon the criminal beyond what was necessary to subdue them (Batman Begins he drops a guy but catches him). Batman would have pulled some ""truth serum"" off his belt and injected the bad guy with it, not throw him off a building. In the real world, if authorities look the other way or abet criminality, the system is not enhanced or enforced but instead crumbles on a slippery slope. Only in the fantasy world of comics does breaking the law make the system of law healthier and stronger. So why at this juncture in time does Batman begin to torture a bad man in a perfectly arranged scenario where torture seems justified and correct? The bomb is ticking and the innocent people will die if only Batman will put some serious hurt on a scummy guy who probably deserves it anyway. If he does this he can save two people (one of whom he loves). The director/writer Christopher Nolan is a Republican (donation records online). On ""The Dark Knights"" behalf perhaps it's not as far fetched at all to see Bruce Wayne as a Republican (rich and entitled). If Nolan does the next Batman, will the superhero do something to an abortion clinic doctor or deregulate a financial institution? Perhaps Batman will beat the excrement out of and torture the director/writer who hijacked this iconic superhero of my youth and turned him into a politically expedient whore with smeared lipstick.

The second season is alright, but nowhere near the quality of the first. The third season is all over the place, not good at all. This is yet another example of a series that had a strong start with an intriguing story that just becomes overwatered and pointless once the directors figured out they could make big bucks off of it. Not to mention the very punchable faces of most of the main characters. Steve is probably one of the few redeeming characters of the show as it goes on. First season is a go, but don't waste your time on the cheap money grab that is the remainder.",3 "Mendes has just won the Directors Guild of America top award but I can't see why. This is a pretty ordinary WW1 drama. telling a noble story, but with an unnecessary stylistic gimmick. A lot has been said about the long take shot but these add nothing to the drama and in fact make the film look like playing a video game, partly because of the tendency to have the narrative divided into staging posts (e.g. the farmhouse, ruined town, etc.). Some lines in the script are achingly bad and at times the acting is poor. Deakins photography however is excellent as ever and not certainly because of the long takes.",6 "This is a must watch. Very well directed , scripted, acted. The whole cast has done really well. I was just happy to see abhishek.",10 "Can't believe this is a HBO show. Writing, story, plot, acting and everything is just so bad. HBO is known for the sopranos, entourage, GoT.. and you create this POS as part of your series? Like wtf happened after the first episode? Y'all just gave up but had to somehow come up with 10 episodes and finish this damn thing. What a waste of everyone's time and money in creating this show? It's so bad, it's not enough worthy of cable tv or as a free webisode. HBO, please get your shht together.",1 "I remember the first time I saw the trailer. I got really hyped about it because it looked so good, AND it's a film by Quentin Tarantino. But the movie couldn't live up to the fantastic trailer. The only good thing about this movie? The performances by the cast, especially by Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. Also, the cinematography is great. However, nothing else really is good about this movie. The story, I mean the stories keep going parallel to each other. Random subplots kept popping up and confusing incidents keep happening. You keep waiting for something interesting to happen but nothing does. Margot Robbie's character has nothing to do with Leo's or Brad's other than living in Leo's house next door. Despite those flaws, you don't really get bored because you keep waiting for the climax where all of these might come together and make sense, but it never happens. The climax is typical Tarantino blood, violence and extreme gory, which was probably the most exciting part of the movie. One thing I wanted to mention that this movie has the worst editing during one scene, on any movie I have ever seen. When Tim Olyphant's character meets Leo for the first time, they just cut out two of Tim's dialogs, and I was astonished to see how terribly it was edited out. There are so many positive reviews of this film. Most of them are definitely NOT paid reviews. But this is my first. I haven't felt like wasting almost three hours of my life watching any other movie since Frozen.",3 If a director needs 1 hour to introduce the character of the movie then you can understand that director himself is confused. One of the worst movie of this year. I don't know how it's rating is 7.6 maybe some agency is being hired to hike up the rating.,1 "Quite possibly the most boring film I have ever seen. No character depth, no real bloody war action.

Whilst we felt a deep and profound love for each other following the first Harry Potter movie, our relationship has experienced an extensive and frustrating series of on-again-off-again periods. This latest work of childish pablum only served to amplify the deep divisions we have regarding plot and plausibility - I want both she wants neither. Ms. Rowling has descended ever deeper into a world of crazed, inane, wince-worthy fantasy, whilst I have grown and moved on. We ask for your understanding and your acceptance of this difficult decision. There will be no division of assets.

It portrays the start-up culture in India. It gives us an insight into the life of the people involved in a start-up. The best things in he series. Chemistry of Naveen and Shreya is too good. The writer Biswapati Sarkar deserves a mention here for his fabulous writing. Jitu who has always been my favorite again proves his mettle here. He delivered spectacular performance as a husband, as a son and the final episode clash with hostelers was really spectacular. After that scene I saw a smile on his face and I didn't think that was a part of the scene. Never mind. Yogi as a bully delivered good but his character was under-written. Mandal supposed to be a bother so that he could introduce comedy did not work for me. It was not subtle and I felt it was specifically introduced to bring some humor in the series. I had stopped watching TVF videos for quite some time, even I have not watched Permanent Roommates. I watched its first episode for some 10 minutes and it felt the same old jokes of TVF. The same occasional pauses, similar kind of puns. Actually the puns are the things which made me dislike TVF(the puns were the thing which hooked me to TVF). TVF repeated similar kind of puns in each of their content. Suddenly it became predictable. They converted facebook,whatsapp jokes to scenes. It was quite depressing but with TVF Pitchers they have showed they can perform better. Looking ahead to some better projects form TVF. If possible try inviting the AIB guys as well. I am really a big fan of AIB.",8 "The Shawshank Redemption is a cliché. It pales in comparison to much older (now often overlooked) movies of decades past. Do yourself a favour and do some digging - it won't take you long to find many, more thoughtful, more satisfying films of this type.",5 "This is a very dark and twisted series about a couple of misfit and totally dysfunctional characters. There are many plot holes but best to suspend all logic and just go with the flow. Don't try to analyze how things happen , just accept that they do and go with the flow of the story. All actors are suited to their roles. The ending of Season 2 would seem to be the finale as it would be difficult to see how another season would add anything to the story.",8 "I fast forwarded through a lot of it, somehow thinking there would be something in it to make it worth watching. Wrong. I gave it a 2 because of the scenery and photography. Would give it a negative for the rest.",2 "I have to admit, I had my reserves when I started to what this series. It starts of really nice. And then - episode after episode - things go down the drain really fast. It would be wonderful if someone would create a series where the people in charge are NOT being portrayed as total idiots. It would be nice if the character being the actual traitor would NOT be so bloody obvious. The series feels like they are trying to copy some really great Scandinavian series, but fail rather dismally. In short: Bodyguard is an insult to the viewer. It is an insult to anyone involved in protective services and/or anti-terrorist work. Forget it, just forget it.",2 "It was so baaaaaad!!! Thor was reduced to nothing. From God to Dawg.",2 "A delightful movie about mentally acute characters who also find themselves floating in the ether-parts of our world which, unfortunately, depicts them as a bit 'looney-tunes' compared to those who graze on grass day-long, as is the scope of their dreams. Family comes in more forms than a 'blood-borne nuclear clan'. The parts of this movie that 'suddenly screeched to a halt for a very long slow flashback...' (as one reviewer wrote) I found to be seamlessly and artfully placed and gave depth that was needed regarding the history of the incident this was 'loosely based on' as well as many characters in the film. Since when do we need eye popping or even kick-in-the-butt drama every second. There are things to be gleaned in the quiet times that will knock our socks off. This movie knocked my socks off! The acting was so good that I was NOT distracted from any element of the story. Thank you to anyone who takes time to read this review. :) Kathryne.",9 "It's basically an action movie so the whole plot supports the action, it's a mercenary who gets tangled up in Bangladesh. It's cool that it does the location aspect well. My issues are when you have a seasoned mercenary I feel like he commits a lot of mistakes and gets into some situations that could have been avoided. There were a lot of tactical errors. First he goes in Rambo style, which is cool but if you're planning a mission up against 20 hostile, you need a squad. There is an ambiguous support character who seems battle hardened but his methods don't really add up. When you are senior military, you make sure you can win and you have the upper hand. But we see a lot of panic and escape here, not a cool controlled authority. It's a good movie but I think they should have ran it by a military consultant to make it more authentic.",6 "Comic genius of Martin and Short can't help but make this one to watch. You have to be prepared to invest and wait for the layers to unfold. I enjoyed it.",10 "For those deeply interested in the mystery of the Zodiac serial killer, this portrayal of one man's obsession with discovering the murderer's identity will no doubt qualify as essential viewing, dwelling as it does on the minutiae of the infamous unsolved case for a solid two and a half hours. Every possible avenue is examined in-depth; the script—based on the bestseller by Robert Graysmith—is exhaustive, charting the investigation of the killer's activity from the late 60s through to the early 90s. In its attention to detail, Zodiac is hard to fault. Unfortunately, in concentrating so hard on delivering the facts whilst avoiding sensationalism at all cost, director David Fincher neglects to engage those members of the audience who wish to be entertained as well as informed. With the exception of a brief moment of tension in a potential suspect's basement, the film never attempts to engage the viewer on an emotional level, and the result is a very dry watch—dare I say it, even boring at times. It's certainly nowhere near as memorable an experience as Fincher's other classic serial killer flick, Se7en (1995).",5 """The Addams Family"" sitcom from the 1960s, set a standard that no subsequent adaptation could even come close to. Two seasons with a total of 64 episodes are one of my fondest childhood memories. Perfect casting, perfect morbid-comic atmosphere, brilliant dialogues and replicas, and seductive Carolyn Jones. An unforgettable experience, partly because it's so good, and partly because I can't forget something that I rewatch every couple of years. Tim Burton is one of my favorite filmmakers. ""Batman"" (1989), ""Edward Scissorhands"" (1990), ""Batman Returns"" (1992), ""Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"" (2005), ""Corpse Bride"" (2005), ""Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"" (2007), are pretty strong reasons why I had high expectations for this show. Unfortunately, it would have been better if I had approached the ""Wednesday"" series without any. If it was supposed to be a comedy - it's not funny, if it was supposed to be a horror - it's not scary, it's not dramatic, it's not tense, it's not particularly imaginative. The Addams Family was originally conceived as ""a satirical inversion of the ideal post-war middle-class American nuclear family"", eccentric, morbid, and seemingly completely oblivious to how others perceive them. Wednesday is conceived as a girl who is extremely different from the students of a normal school, not an academy for fantasy beings. The other Addamses have no connection with their black and white ancestors, neither in appearance nor in character. The characters don't have the charm of the originals, the series isn't nearly as funny as the old one, and it doesn't have the iconic tune we all had our fingers snapping along to. Long story short, for a fan of the sixties series, and even compared to the films that followed in the nineties, the only thing this series has in common with its predecessors is the title and partly the image of Addamses. On the other hand, viewed independently of its predecessors, ""Wednesday"" has its qualities. Impressive photography and use of color, interesting, if very poorly developed characters and, despite, in my opinion, a barely mediocre script, excellent acting by the entire cast. I was particularly won over by Hunter Doohan and Emma Myers. And by far the strongest asset of this series, and the only reason why I didn't give up on it after one or two episodes, is Jenna Ortega, whose Wednesday completely overshadowed Christina Ricci's. It's not the Wednesday we loved in the sixties and nineties, but this new one might be even better. Jenna made this character her own, and I think I can say with certainty that from now on her performance will be the first thing most people associate with the mention of Wednesday, and even The Addams Family in general. 6,5/10.",6 "This movie gets a very high ratings, but is nothing more then a weak 'Speed' remake. Not with a bus, not with a boat, no ... with a train. It has the same story line, same style of action, but instead of a bomb it has dangerous cargo. A case like this is already very thin to build a complete film around. The actors are OK and their performance is solid. Nevertheless the script and the dialogs are so poor that they can't rescue this film. The film contains a sequence of unrealistic actions and decisions that most of the times will just make you laugh instead of moving you to the edge of your seat: never a good thing for an action movie. As a bonus you get some bad CGI action in the climax scenes. After seeing the film you'll question if the director actually takes the viewers seriously or is just taking you for a ride. To summarize it's Speed 2 all over again. The three stars are for the nice landscape and excellent (train-)shots by the camera crew!",3 "If they only opend King's book, they will do better show.

Everything else is a joke... This movie is an example of the unremarkable s**t that Hollywood produces these days...I have not seen a good movie based on a comic book, except maybe Batman, who was made a long time ago, when the movie producing capitol of America was not so corrupted by money hungry producers with witless ideas and nooo talent at all.

Although it's a sound film technically, the story just doesn't work for me.Maybe the movie did want to deliver some emotions and a message in the end , but I just couldn't get them because the one shot filmmaking gets so immersive that you just don't care about the character's emotions or expressions making the ending of the movie kindof weird. The Woman - baby scene was when I felt like giving up- it didn't even add up to the plot! What was the need?",5 "Sucks. Bad story, average acting, bad cgi (way too much of it), bad soundtrack (way too much of it).

Just remember the good 'ole days...",3 "Child genius equals FTX, I bet they wish They could go back and take that line out, maybe this should be a warning that the movie industry should stick to entertaining and stop sticking its ignorant nose into ideals and politics. I just watched this movie and it is quite telling starts off with a governor preaching about climate and all of the main characters are in lockdown and wearing mask. If anybody watches this movie 10 years from now you're gonna go what the hell are they all wearing masks for? This is so telling of where Hollywood has Ruined the movie industries. I love Daniel Craig and almost every movie he does and it's because of him I'd give this movie six but because it was made by Netflix and Netflix is owned by corporate government which in turn ruined this movie by inputting its grotesque ideals, I didn't even mention the obvious equity/discriminating ideal that was so obvious, That I have to give it a one.

But it's slow moving and hard to sit through.,5 "If you never followed venom before then by all means go ahead and say this was a good movie. Besides the fact that they got Eddies personality wrong. All the symbiotes showed up on the.... same spacecraft? What hapened to Venom giving off the 6 spawns? Did venom not get here cause of Spiderman? Venom was supposed to be a sick twisted monster who is seeking power. We get this ""bit of a looser from home planet"" thats trying to sympathize with brock and save his kind. The Cons: The story is off Venoms voice is beyond cheesy Both venom and brock trying hard to be funny throughout the movie. Plot is all over the place. 3-4 people lose heads which you dont see. The goods: CGI on point, Venom actually looks good. Thats about it. If youre ignorant and just wanna watch a Marvel associated film, have at it.

I REALLY DID , BUT IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS PEOPLE SAY",7 "I am really astonished reading all the commentaries and the incredible average mark of the film. This movie is simply deceiving. When I first saw Batman Begins, I really loved it. From then I began to investigate more about Christohper Nolan and his films. I discovered also that Memento was directed by him, as well as Insomnia with Al Pacino and Robin Williams, highly interesting thriller placed in Alaska. Back to ""Knight"", I found it firstly too long. I went with 3 friends and all of them slept the whole last hour. Secondly, and probably the most important from my point of view, the plot is not surprising and of a quality you wouldn't expect from such an expensive movie. More, Christian Bale is not the same. In that film Batman as well as Bruce Wayne are poor, somehow sad, definitely not inspiring. Nothing comparable to his performance in Psycho. All the action scenes are the same, batman knocking and slamming with its legs, arms and fists. Where is the intelligence and slyness? The highly praised Heath Ledger is not bad, but the character, this new Jocker is deceiving again. Not fun, not subtle nor ironic, simply violent. To finish with, this film is too long, unnecessarily complicated, and if you see the images of the trailer, you have seen it all.",4 Modern Family is Okay but It gets boring sometimehe last season came I hated it. there were no funny peole in the end there was nobody to laugh at.

The movie leaves you unsatiated both from artistic point of view and from biography point of view. So why are critics and award factories going ga ga over it? Steven Spielberg's halo effect is the biggest reason. How can the man with Midas touch be not a mastero when it comes to snippet from his own life. Thirdly, the actors have done a great job and music is great. Photography is lovely too. Direction is fine. Just the overall movie comes out as slightly above average fare. If it was not Speilberg's name this movie would get rated 6-7. But because it is Speilberg's name I would give it only 6 stars. Expected more from him.",6 "This Marvel adaptation is absolutely horrible and holds no ground.

The movie is horrible overcooked and confusing and makes many of the fatal errors shared by other time travel horrors,4 "Inception is one of those films that after multiple viewings, you will start to see some problems with the plot. The first half of the film explains dream sharing, and the second half forgets what it just explained to you. But if you are willing to forgive those flaws, then you will really enjoy this movie. Not to mention it's a great cast and a very competent director. The script is quick, and the dialogue is light on it's feet. Also why do the characters have such odd names? I've heard it's to make the film more surreal, but it comes off as just a weird way of significant character development.

From ALL the actors to everything! The fact that they were children and they all understood the assignment 😀. It didn't even look like they were acting!. THAT'S TALENT EXTRAORDINAIRE.

Even for a mindless diversion it's boring. I found myself interested for a full 4 minutes during this hour and a half drone. In a world cram packed with action movies this offers absolutely nothing new, interesting, or beneficial. There was some action, which was no different from every other action film. There was mindless machismo-ism based around tired, meaningless revenge, completely void of inspiration. There was no plot-- whatsoever.

Second, Henry Cavill and Anya Chalotra have very little if any chemistry. The sex scenes, while not trashy they are gratuitous and out of place.

Barbie and Ken escape from Barbieland into the real world, threatening societal breakdown in both as changes in one universe affects the other. Barbieland is effectively a Matriarchy where girls rule and the Kens just do Beach, play sports, stand around and try to attract the attention of the Barbies. There are all types of Barbies, President Barbie, the Supreme Court Barbie, Roadworker Barbies. Margot Robbie is Stereotypical Barbie with Ryan Gosling as her Beach Ken. They travel to the real world after Barbie starts developing cellulite and worrying about death. Ken learns about patriarchy in the real world, especially from the clever corporate types who affect an image of equality but use this as a cover to carry on in the old manner. Ken returns to Barbieland intent on turning it into a Kendom and turning the world upside down. Barbie faces the all male Executive board of Mattel where the CEO (Ken Ferrell) defends his policies but literally tries to put Batbie in a box. . Cutting satire, great humour in a whipsmart script with wonderful fake pastel sets in Barbieland. The themes and set decoration bring Don't Worry Darling and Asteroid City to mind. Kate McKinnon is Weird Barbie who helps Stereotypical Barbie to solve her personal problems and to battle against the Kendom. I'll have to see this again. I reckon to properly appreciate all the jokes, irony and satire. Greta Gerwig takes no prisoners as she Directs and Co-Writes (with Noah Baumbach) this comic masterpiece. 9/10.",9 "The most overrated movie of 2013. The movie shows you the psychological horror of slavery with the protagonist not really taking a part in anything. There is no lesson to be learned here, just showing how horrible things were for African Americans at the time. Feels very forced and tedious, and five minutes in it you will know exactly what's gonna happen. Unimaginative or creative at all. I think the director wanted to say: ""Feel pain, cause I said so. I won't take the time to build characters or weave an interesting narrative"". The movie says let's paint everything with a big general brush-which is OK for action movies- but not for a historical drama.",4 "Back during my under graduate days, I had seen a friend read the book once, totally engrossed, so much that he stopped texting back or even replying to calls for a week or so. When he finished the book, he came to me and asked me to read it. He told me that I can totally relate and should read it at least once. But I did not. Finally, when the series came out, I watched it and I immediately understood why he wanted me to read that book. Back at the school, I was a bully. I got involved in fights, hurt people who loved me and mistreated people who were emotionally vulnerable, all because people thought it was cool. I was a bully and I can never forgive myself for that. To say the least, I got a hard kick from Karma in my college days and I came to understand that I was wrong. But you can never shake off the ghost of your past, can you? After watching this series, I had a hard time holding my tears. I would never want something like this to happen with my son or daughter ever. I am a 30-year-old adult soon to be a parent, and I can totally relate what it must have felt like to be in the high school, to be in the teenage years and not getting accepted by the world. It feels damn painful when you cannot connect with anyone, everyone tries to pick on you because you are different, and you feel alone! This is a must watch for teenagers and adults alike. It is a heartfelt and intense drama with fantastic acting and beautifully executed screenplay of the original story.",9 "Fake crying, fake smiles, unnecessary moaning and random CGI shots that instead of taking the story forward make you forget that you are not watching a cheap documentary but a Sci-Fi movie... There is not even one dialogue worth remembering for next 5 minutes, character building is so bad that director and writers forgot that biggest strength of Navi people was that they were disciplined and loved their culture. Instead James throws in some teenage drama queens as if the Human DNA of Jake has totally polluted the Navi DNA and now they are no different from the nagging and complaining people of New York or Tokyo... Absolutely waste of time and total insult to the intellect of the viewer...",4 "I don't want to be rude to anyone as we've all got different opinions, but, if you really watch this film it's very boring. Just like Casino, if you stuff some good actors together and come up with some interesting bizarre scenes and some unusual dialog (with no point) it doesn't make a movie. How about having a story, a point, perhaps. This is one of the few films that actually sends me to sleep. Take the scene with Bruce Willis. Could that drawn out boring scene have taken any longer - Dull!!! I, Personally, go to see a movie to be entertained, shocked, moved or informed. This movie did none of that. Of course I'm people will say ""you just don't understand the brilliance"". Just because someone makes an 'Arty' picture doesn't mean you have to pretend to like it even when it's boring. I suspect in the future, when all the hypes forgotten, people will ask, ""why did anyone like that film"".",2 "Strong opening. Some gaping plot holes - but that's to be expected from a conspiracy+terrorism police procedural. Brits seem to have modeled on Homeland, reversing gender here&there and promoting even more women to boss roles. While Claire Danes' talent clearly elevates Homeland, here the main dude is mostly flat. The stiffness plus accent were honestly giving me Terminator deja vu. (Hey, I wouldn't mind if this guy took over from Arnold)! Oh, and that silly, unlikely resolution with ""bad guys"" all too eagerly confessing as if reading from a script. Oh, wait, they are reading from a script: a BAD script! ;-)",6 "I don't even get the point why people actually love this show. The plot is an interesting if you have already watched Silent Hill, it is just a copy of that with a kid version. And it's not scary or interesting enough than silent Hill. Super overrated Show.",1 Whomever gave rating of more than 6 should test their brain in the hospital asap. Have seen the climax fighting?? It was horrible.,4 "... and rather weak overall i'd say ... can't say didn't like this move but can't say i fell for it either despite the fact that i do respect Sandra Bullock as a really fine actor and by the sounds of the movie's credits, she's got quite a lot of herself involved in it behind the camera as well ... on a positive note, there are quite a number of social commentaries and political hints etc that do make BB worth watching (ONCE ONLY!) perhaps but that's about it all ... (maybe if it weren't a full 2-hours+ movie, then it wouldn't feel a little too boring at times!?) maybe it's too ""feminine"" (not feminist) a story? nothing wrong with that but what would it look like if a male (even a feminist male) had directed it: would it still feel and sound similar? all n all, i watched it mainly because i read somewhere that viewers in at least one nation weren't quite 'happy' seeing it and Netflix thus had to pull it down from their list on that particular country ... but maybe that's just some marketing scheme ((scam?)) to pull more viewers all over the world into getting themselves engaged with an otherwise overrated / over-hyped movie? i mean, there are always plenty of post-apocalyptic movies made almost daily ... and most aren't much in terms of artistic or even cinematic value really even though some are made with huge budgets wasted for nothing really ... maybe we should rather talk about why at all such movies are made in order to make some people respect moral values such as family relationships, religion, god and all that makes a society a decent one ... but the question (at least mine) is, why are almost always the regular folk who are presented as being the most responsible party in movies of this genre? after all, not all people happen to be selfish artists or workaholic businessmen (and -women) having no time for their children, if any, right?",3 A bit boring movie - I even fell asleep a few times.,3 """The Witcher."" How can I concisely sum up the grandeur, the utter brilliance, the mind blowing originality, the dazzling spectacle that was the twenty minute span I was able to tolerate until the nausea took hold and overcame my defenses? Before I took the remote from it's scabbard across my back and put an end to the horrific threat to the kingdom of my creative integrity? Writing worthy of a junior high creative writing class filled entirely with junior varsity football players, one of whose little brothers once played D&D because he thought the DM's seventeen year old sister was really hot. Acted by people with plenty of time in their schedules because the local community theater rejected them. Costumed so consistently that I'm sure there's not a thrift store anywhere in North America or Europe without an empty ""Used Prom Dresses"" rack. The Witcher himself looks like he shopped at Dress Barn...in 1986. God save us from shoulder pads. I'm sure the books are great, blah blah blah. Henry Caville should hunger game his agent.",2 "I haven't reviewed a movie in a while but I'm making an exception for this. I'm just old enough to have known many people who lived through the horror of Nazi Germany and people who fought to bring an end to the Third Reich. And knowing what I know all I can say is this movie is nausea inducing. EVERYTHING about it. The fact this gets made, let alone received critical accolades astonishes me.",1 "What works for this movie is the amazing performance by Millie, with good enough supporting roles from A-listers. The film is always entertaining, I never got bored. The message it's trying to convey might feel to the nose if you think too much into it as a period piece. Story might feel kind of simple mystery in perspective of Sherlock Holmes. But beautiful production, cinematography and an engaging lead makes this recommended watch.",4 "Kung Fu Panda 2 is undoubtedly the best installment from Dream Works Animation.The movie is rich with excellence in all forms,from artful visuals to depthful story to eye-catchy 3D effects.Newcomer Jennifer Yuh has done an appreciable job by making the sequel look better in all aspects,compared to the first.A good round of applause must be given for the writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger for creating a back-story about Po's identity and to make it workout so well in the screen that we will love Po More and more as the story progress. Voices::Jack Black does a fine job to bring-out the emotions of Po excellently on screen. Angelina Jolie,as Tigress got more role this time and did appreciable job of conveying the feelings. I also loved the lendings by Garry Oldman,Van Damme and Dennis Haysbert. Some +ves::1)Excellent direction skills by Jennifer Yuh.2)3D was showcased well.3)Characters were given more emotional depth.4)Some genuinely hilarious moments which make us jump of the seats laughing.5)Action sequences were well choreographed. Only -ve which i felt was that the movie seemed lagging at times. On a whole Kung Fu Panda 2 is a worthy(or even better )sequel to Kung Fu Panda.The movie has more in store for all the sections of the audience.A highly recommended movie.Must Watch.Ma Rating::9/10",9 Well if you are a fan of the game or not it doesn't matter just go and watch it. The start of the show was really accurate to the game but they change it a bit later on the show but In a good way. It had some parts I didn't like but overall this is a really good show. I know some people don't like episode 3 but man it ain't that bad. I need season 2 now. And Pedro pascal and the girl acting for Ellie(I don't remember the name)is doing a great job. It says that this show returns at 2025 but I hope they didn't take this long period between season. I really need season two right now I'm really hyped for this show.,8 "Sad, indeed, also beautiful, dark and bitter because it is the truth.ruined lives, sacrifices, stupid ambition caused by a reactor. Such a dark comedy, ain't it? Realy shook my bones and froze my blood. Effective, it was. It did picture the characters well. I gave 9 stars 🌟",9 "The book 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher is very specific which is one of the reasons it is so captivating. This show just uses the books general concept and it does not stick to the novel. I am honestly disappointed with how the show turned out, there is so much extra and pointless stuff added into it. This show should not be recognized as the show to Jay Asher's astounding novel rather they should have called it something else and just said that it was inspired by the novel. Congratulations, you've bungled this production. So I've finished the show and I want to say that it is good as long as you don't expect it to be the same as the book. You have to understand that I really love the book and was excited to see it as a show and so yes, I was greatly disappointed that you changed so many things but it is still worth watching. I change my 1 to a 5 and I'm now able to appreciate what they did with it.",5 "Frank Darabont's ""The Shawshank Redemption"" is a film of pretentious platitudes and obvious intentions. Based on Stephen King's short story ""Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption"", the film stars Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne, a banker wrongly accused of murdering his adulterous wife and her lover. Morgan Freeman delivers a much-deserved Academy-Award nominated performance as the hardened Red, the convict responsible for smuggling cigarettes into the penitentiary whose genuine depth allows him to form a friendship with Andy not based on the macho rules of the prison yard (Andy's demeanor is in face so falsely naive that many of the prisoners bet on him to be the first under pressure) but on a continuing sense of willpower and motivation in a place that genuinely lacks the atmosphere for such human emotions. And yet whereas ""The Shawshank Redemption"" is in itself an honorable predilection of prison life and shows an understanding of the human spirit which is somehow lacking in the more recent prison movies (most notably Tom Selleck's ""An Innocent Man"" and Sylvester Stallone's ""Lock Up""), the film is deemed exceptional only by your willingness to surrender to Darabont's predictable machinations. Darabont may be a talented screenwriter, and some of his creations here (such as the character played by William Sadler, who comes across during an inventory inspection a copy of ""The Count of Monte Cristo"" by Alexander...Dumbass) are unmistakeably human, his portrayal of the Bible-thumping warden (Bob Gunton) cannot resist but to relegate itself to stereotype. The film's real downfall is in Tim Robbins' performance, who despite his squeaky-clean cherub face cannot project the inspiration needed to give this film its realistic element. And yet this is not a bad movie, just certainly not the best movie of all time. Some images of the movie will continue to stay with me: the cold-hearted sexual depravity of ""the Sisters""; and in the infamous shot beautifully and rigidly painted by cinematographer Roger Deakins (""Fargo""), Dufresne basking in a downpour upon entering freedom. Unfortunately, the film isn't cohesive enough to warrant any more of those moments.",5 "Once again James Cameron proves he knows his way around CGI. The film itself however, follows a plot that is incredibly similar to the original with a few ""free willy/moby dick/platoon"" touches to it. This lack of original storytelling is even more excruciating as the film is over 3 hours long. Furthermore, the film has even less emotional character development than the original. All in all, I think most viewers can agree that this film is primarily ment for enthusiastic fans of the first film and not suitable for a wider audience. I would not advice to watch this without seeing the first film. And unless you're a fan of CGI films, I would not advice anyone to see the second film, because the 3D magic of the first had lost some of its glance in the ten years between these films.",4 "Ragnarok should have been epic. Instead it overreaches with annoying, pathetic attempts at humor clearly intended for a 12-year-old audience. I loved the first Guardians but felt the sequel was horrifically flat by comparison. Guardians II is a masterpiece comparatively. Echoing others, the 10/10s reviews must originate from studio/corporate minions meant to boost the ratings rather than from genuine IMDb contributors. Time for a change in the way reviews are published.",3 "Ok, Robert De Niro is a great actor. That's it for me. I don't get how this is considered one of the best films, if not the best film of all time. This was just boring and lame in my opinion. I don't care about this movie it was just bad. The ending was stupid and this is pretty much just a bad movie. Don't get the hype.",4 "I'm sorry but I just don't get the big deal over this movie. It is pure melodramatic schmaltz. Give me Cool Hand Luke or Papillon any day. Or how about Scum or even Chopper. I have to admit I felt the same way about The Green Mile, maybe it's just Stephen King's view of prison I don't like. As if he has a clue! I think he should just stick with the coming of age stuff (loved Stand By Me) and the isolated looneys (The Shining), things he can obviously relate to. Leave prison stories to the folks who actually leave their house.",5 The horror in this movie was on the same level as goosebumps horror. Only reason this is a two star is because there are one or two decent jump scares but overall extremely predictable and just a let down. I would feel safe taking my 7 year old niece to this movie.,2 "with all you guys who have seen lord of the rings and ben hur a good advice please don't venture for this... Mr. Asutosh(the director) was in all sorts of troubling while the movie was shot, from Miss aishwariya becoming Mrs. and death of a crew member. it seemed like nothing was going right for this movie. and after the movie released it seemed to land itself into all types of controversy. But all this pain would have been worth if only the movie was interesting. half way through the movie it seemed like the only job akbar did was to spend time with his gorgeous wife, sometimes dance, get involved into semi saas bahu problems. the movie had its own positives. the music was awesome but certainly not the reason why you should pain yourself and sit through three hours wondering whether apart from few historical facts anything else was half as interesting. Ashu's caliber as a film maker has been completely overshadowed by a weak , and i would dare to say non existent story line. the sets where done with great grandeur but only if good sets could make an interesting movie!!! on an ending note, this movie has not been upto the mark and at the end of it all, i think ashu could have done a little better the jodha akbar..",3 "Sophia Coppola has shown much of her directing prowess in this movie, but I really feel her development of Charlotte (played by Scarlett Johansson) is lacking. There are many great interactions between Charlotte and Bob Harris (played by Bill Murray), but there aren't any times where Charlotte shows any other facet of her character besides her emptiness and sorrow. Her being that pitiful the entire time she's in Tokyo just makes her unbelievable to me. Real people are multi-faceted. Even when they're distraught or sad, or just feeling empty, they will have those up moments when their inner strength kicks in. Charlotte never displays this. Perhaps there are people out there in the world that are this weak. But I just don't believe it. I wish I wasn't so bothered by the character development of Charlotte because there are some excellent aspects of this film. Many of the shots between Charlotte and Bob are perfectly crafted to convey their underlying connection. And Bob's character is developed well, as he comes across as a real person with multiple facets to his personality. Overall, I would still recommend this movie, especially as a rental. Just don't be surprised if you also notice there's something lacking. 6 out of 10.",6 "I used to like Matrix when I was a kid and making his awesome moves to dodge and etc.. But know.. In 2018 It looks so ""bad"".. Not the best, but its great movie without any doubts.",5 "This anime was great. It came out in 2006 and it's still popular.the story is good and it also has good characters. I can't call it a masterpiece,but I still love it.",8 "Talking about the western cinema, they always provide their audiences with fascinating, interesting and thought-provoking premises followed by their brilliant storytelling and extra ordinarily visualization and ""The Boys"" is the recent addition to it. What makes ""The Boys"" so special and unique is its premise based on the Comic Book it gives the unorthodox concept for Superheroes. As since the inception of superheroes genre we've seen and we've been told that Superheroes sole job is to protect humanity from antagonists which popularly includes Terrorist organizations or Aliens who have nothing but sole agenda to destroy the world and in return they want nothing but peace and safety of this world. Now that's before the arrival of ""The Boys"" who gives the counter narration that what if the superheroes we admire, we love and we look forward to are being handled by the corporates and to clear it further let's say that any state of USA shows the upward movement in crime figures, so this organization known as Vought will just approach the State's mayor and offer them one of their employed Superhero to fight with crime against a heavy amount as their remuneration. Not only that they have their own Media, Brand and Business Development team to handle and promote their employed Superheroes and to cash them accordingly. Things get more darker as series develops with whole superhero concept of saving humanity is being flushed down and showcases the idea what if Superheroes gets corrupted and their sole mission is to serve their employers rather their people and for that they can do whatever it takes even on the expense of peoples life. That's only one aspect, series gets further darker but to avoid spoilers I'll just stop here and leave that on you to further watch and experience it by yourself. Full marks to the creators of the show who has given the unpopular concept a new direction and people have already liked the show including positive reviews from the critiques, Talking about the performances, the cast is not familiar at least to me except Simon Pegg, who have nothing but a cameo role. Leads are simply brilliant and to mention some of them is actually due in their credit so lets start with Karl Urban as Billy Buthcher he is BAdAss and Ruthless, Antony Starr as Homelander leading the superhero team he is just brilliant as unpredictable shady Superhero, Elizabeth Shue as leading corporate lady is very convincing with her looks and cunning nature, Jack Quaid as Hughie a young simple common guy is adorable and last but not the least Erin Moriarty as Annie aka ""Starlight"" a good Superhero and lovely to watch also she actually resembles with Selena Gomez so the whole series I've watched her as if she's Selena Gomez also knowing that she's not. The series is comprised on 8 episodes with almost 1 hour of runtime each and is being streaming on Amazon Prime since 2019. You can binge it over the weekend and just to give the readers a heads-up the season 1 of the series has been ended on an interesting turn of events and Season 2 is due in the second half of 2020 which is September 2020 and has already been renewed for season 3 due to its popularity with the audience which I'm saying because as of today it has the IMDB rating of 8.7. So yes, just stream it online and do share your comments about it.",8 "This show is fun, when I was a kid I was like ""eh"" but the more I watch, the more interesting it gets. I still think it's a good show and yeah I didn't watch all the episode bit still think it's a good show like I don't know if I actually watch all the episode of Ed Edd N Eddy but still think it's a good show. I just like how develope the characters are like it's very important that a character is well develope. The storyline is well done, very well done. This show is very enjoyable, fun, and outstanding preformances. Also the character Aang has to be my favorite character in the show like he has cool powers that will make kids go ""wow"". Now I'm not bothering to watch the movie because I know it's gonna suck so yeah. I'll posible see it, just to see if it's true or not so yeah. Like I said before I'm usually not into anime but love the show. Also since my friend is into Dragonball and I'm into Avatar: The Last Airbender again! Also watch this show please! The most interesesting part about this film is how the fight scene is cool and fun to look at. It's worth a watch and it's fun to watch too. (I know it's not anime but it looks like anime).",10 "They're not. At least in any real world. There's some decent acting and some hot scenes, but ultimately it was a mediocre film at best. At least the accents were better than average.",7 "This is the first time I enjoyed watching a hindi movie so much. The direction, script, and acting was breathtaking.",10 "The perfectness of HP and the deathly hallows part 1 cannot be spoken in words. The film starts off with the Warner Bros logo, but it's more darker than in the previous HP film. From that moment and onwards the movie had action/excitement in almost every scene until the end. The plot is awesome and more personal drama is introduced as the movie moves on.. It follows the book almost perfect with only some bits cut out which doesn't really make a big deal in the plot itself. I was beginning to wonder when the movie was nearing it's end if it would cut in a bad scene without any notification before the credits began to roll, but i was clearly wrong as the movie was cut after a carefully chosen scene which is going to haunt the HP fans for the next 7 months until the last part is shown on cinema! Thanks Yate for making one of the greatest HP movies yet!",10 "Fueled by Tom Hardy and his passion for the source material, ""Venom: Let there be carnage"" is a massive triumph in terms of fan service and dark comedy that mostly hits. Definitely a distinguishable improvement over the the first film, although it could have been maybe 15-20 minutes longer just to develop its characters a little bit more.",7 "Having watched DJANGO UNCHAINED and LINCOLN, I was interested to see another film on slavery and like the two mentioned it did not disappoint. For most sane people the idea of slavery or a Holocaust is something unfathomable and the rational behind such horrors is something that should be included in any movie on such subjects. It isn't enough just showing slavery or the persecution of certain people there has to be a reason (albeit a stupid reason at best) as to why this is happening. Leaving aside the horrors of the Holocaust as that is death with elsewhere, slavery is one of those things which seems almost like an act of stupidy. Now there are no doubt reasons why such things happened and apparently it is also sanctioned in the bible but when you look at it you think to yourself what the hell is this happening. So it was that slavery happened for whatever reason and a civil war had to be fought to end it. Those that argue about states rights and the rest are totally missing the point that the civil war WAS fought because a President was elected on a no slavery ticket. So when it comes to movies about slavery the reasons for it are not properly explained. Nor are the plight of the slaves. The slaves were latterly treated like dogs. Sure you have a dog you like, sure some treat their dogs nice but in the end if they are no use to you or they cause trouble or get sick you get rid of 'em. And so in this case you get a man who was free suddenly thrown into a place where he didn't even have a voice and where death was just an insult away. In that way the movie strikes a cord and shows us all the arguments we would use to get out of such a situation to be useless. A really good movie and some excellent performances.",8 "I haven't seen Sandra Bullock in a while and sure she was in Ocean's Eight, but this was much better and showcases Bullock's acting abilities better. I really enjoy these kind of post-apocalyptic films. It is similar to A Quiet Place, but instead of having to be quiet, you can't see the monster. It's an interesting take on the genre and will have you on the edge of your seat with an unnerving feeling throughout. Highly recommend!",7 "The first time I watched this anime was on YouTube the first episode was free. It was OK but I started watching more as it got more and more popular and now I've watched all the episodes. The anime is good, I enjoyed watching the first seasons but as it goes it gets more and more boring for me like I don't know wrap it up. I was so engaged at first and I was loving it and it's a shame because now I just continue watching the anime because of how much I've already started watching. As what I remember of the last season I really enjoyed it, not the first episodes but later in the season it got me gripped. Overall a good anime being dragged for too long like I don't know graduate or something. Rating: 7.5.",7 "I don't understand all the reviews I read previous to watching this film saying it is better than the first. It isn't in any way. I really enjoyed the first film but in this version, the characters aren't as memorable or likeable, an it takes a long time to build up the little momentum it has. The premise to this movie is quite strange, it doesn't draw you in like it's predecessor. It almost feels like it has missed the mark with it's audience. I had to explain a lot of the references to my family while watching, like what a twitch streamer is, the game among us etc. (I can't imagine this film being hugely popular with an audience young enough to understand all these references) This was a disappointing follow up an not what I was expecting.",4 "This is the first time I've ever written a review on a superhero movie. Essentially, it's because I have a hard time regarding movies of this genre to be serious film. However, this is one of the very few times that I can safely say that I've seen a movie that falls under this category that also serves as a genuinely polished work of cinema. Iron Man 2 is well worth seeing. It has replay value, deals with present-day issues, doesn't take itself too seriously, features exceptional performances, and deals with a very realistic lead character. This last point is the one that really makes or breaks this genre of film for me. Traditionally, I've found that Batman has come the closest to being a believable character, due to his flaws. Tony Stark, however, brings the level of realism to a higher level. He IS the contemporary man: conflicted, fallible, sometimes humerus, sometimes heroic, and (despite what he may believe) in need of the help of others from time to time. Kudos to the writers: This is a very smooth screenplay. Kudos to the actors: The performances are often subtle and always a joy to watch. Kudos to the VFX crew: There's nothing distracting about the effects. Good estimates on simulated mass and kinetics. Good light-matching. Oh, and kudos to the sound designers: The gunfire is remarkably well-mixed. If you haven't seen this film, check it out -- even if you don't quite think it's your thing. You'll be glad you did.",8 "How in the world did this movie get these astounding reviews? I honestly cannot believe it. I watched it a couple times to be certain that if you want to see a well done space film, watch 'First Man' or even 'Apollo 13.' Gravity has unrealistic physics movement and bad CGI, on top of just being a plain boring movie. Not recommended at all.",2 "Another marvel formula This movie can fit right if they show this at the 1st phase,its boring the direction is horrible and the effects to, what a shame. Like all Disney made marvel movies the characters lack any kind of development. There is no attachment to them and the audience can care less what happens to them. The soundtrack is just another generic computer generated sound and lacks any real soul. The plot is also a rushed mess.However this movie gives the same generic marvel formula that we have come to expect.This is a bad choice for marvel,in critics its always good for they because they pay it all always but with the fans its another thing",1 "The movie was very good. It had comic moments, impeccable costumes and exceptional acting, as well as necessary political dialogues. However, despite these strengths, the ending was disjointed and poorly crafted, leaving a sense of dissatisfaction. It felt like the filmmakers were struggling to find a cohesive resolution, resulting in a lackluster conclusion that did not do justice to the well-crafted narrative. While the movie has its merits, the disappointing ending prevents me from considering watching it again. However, it is worth recognizing the film's strengths and the thought-provoking discussions it initiated.",7 "you will not laugh in this movie, unless you enjoy delusional British comedy and by that I mean jokes of an up-tight 60 year old and over blown conversations with stuffing needless words like "" quite absurd and tedious "" which ironically describe the film. I watched this movie because it has a lot of movie stars that I like which obviously was intended for selling the film, lets add a 2 second shot of Bill Murray answering a phone or just walking by !! William Dafoe's character was the only thing remotely enjoyable in this piece of torture and time waste. it drew a sad smile on my face during the length of praying for a laugh ! I don't recommend this film unless you feel like boring yourself to death.",3 "As someone who's read all the books and played all the games this is a far cry from what I was hoping for. Got a bad vibe already from the trailers and sadly the released show isn't any better. Strange camera angles and cutting, painfully overacted and overemotional. Some surroundings and pieces obviously stolen from GoT. Overall messy plot and introduction of locations and characters. The way to introduce this series would have been to have Geralt riding alone in a bleak wilderness and forest, camping, hunting, cooking, accepting a contract from some small village, tracking, preparing potions and at the end of a the first episode take down some kind of great beast. The end. Very few words spoken. That would have been a great introduction to the world. A slow and suspenseful introduction similar to what we got in GoT episode 1 and a feeling somewhat similar to The Revenant. The world of the Witcher isn't suppose to be overfilled with emotion or politics, it's supposed to be bleak, cynical, harsh, brutal and stoic. But then with occasional glimpses of hope, beauty and right vs wrong. There is politics and kings in the witcher universe but the focus is supposed to be on the struggle of the everyday man and everyday life. The feeling of the Witcher Universe is supposed to be much more ""The Hound and Arya on the road"" rather than ""Cersei at court"" if you catch my drift. But instead we jump straight into lots of politics and some characters are introduced way to fast, no one cares about things when they're introduced this quickly. Maybe towards the middle, or the end of, the first season would have been the time to introduce politics and royalty. The way I see it there's basically no way to salvage this train wreck, completely new writing, actors and director would be needed. Cavill is decent, but then I was never his biggest fan. He's nearly always ""decent"", never stellar imho. even if we imagine that this isn't in the Witcher universe this is objectively speaking at best a 7/10 show.",5 I heard so many great things about Mission: Impossible - Fallout and when 2018 about comes to an end it also dub as the best action movie of 2018 by many people so it pretty natural when some group of people find this movie overrated and as a fan of Tom Cruise and the Mission Impossible franchise it sad for me to say this but I'm also a part of that group now when I finally got the chance to watch it at home.The story felt flat to me and all of the characters (even Ethan Hunt) are so boring to watch except Ving Rhames as the hacker Luther a character I hardly care for before this movie.The movie is beautiful shot to look at and the action and stunts work by Tom Cruise definitely the highlight of the movie but aside from all that everything else is just above average,6 "I love the game with all my heart. I was waiting desperately for this series. But, also keeping my expectations low so not to be disappointed later. But gladly, this isn't happening here. I was following the news all along and was touched when heard Cavill was putting every bit of his energy into it and boy it paid off ,I can see it now. Hats off to him. If you've read the books or played the game or both than it's a gem for you. Enjoy the holidays :)",9 "So time for more expensively filmed science fiction entertainment. At least this is not a comic adaption. Should this have been a TV series? Nolan tries his best to keep it within the bounds of cinema and mainly pulls it off. As the actors are pushed around the set and through the rushed plot, the layer below the slightly antiseptic action scenes becomes apparent. The high hokum is in the employ of fairly intelligent questions. One of the problems that has to be faced by films using virtual scenarios is to set the right level of jeopardy. This is done on the hoof in Inception, with rules of the game announced as we go. Yet the director rarely abuses this. The classic problem with the Matrix era films was unexplained pop video place changes largely to show off budget - but everyone still behaved as if they were in LA. To some degree Inception nods at this with its own high sheen low fidelity changes, but is also gently ribbing them. Its all a dream, of course. There is no question that by the last scene you feel that another concept has escaped the original film - I think this is what people are referring to as cerebral. It is a badge of faith that the film is improved on repeat viewing (i.e. it is too dense for one telling) and that leaves the film as a work that will live as much on the internet forums as in your head.",7 Why did I watch this Irritating film nothing to offer just to much over rated film,1 "Critics to be better than the original artistically at least. I am still not sure myself but they may be right. It continues the legacy of the Corleone Family and digs into the roots of their criminal empire. There are a series of flashbacks and that could be confusing to some and to be honest I'm not sure that was positive for the flow of the picture but who am I to criticize that. There is more violence here than in the first Godfather and several scenes, like the original, feature real life events. I personally like the first one better probably because of Brando but I will watch both without reservation. Pacino shines here as brightly as in the first one and DeNiro gives it some much needed weight to replace or more accurately continue Brando's character. It is also much sadder than the first in my opinion and shows the misery and depravity of young Vito's life and why he was what he was. It is a true masterpiece.",10 "No need for spoilers. Its a decent horror film, and if you are a fan of the genre than it is worth the watch. The film tries a little hard to be something its not, in its commentary of meth addiction in australia and as a cautionary tale of drug experimentation among the youth. However, the metaphors are a little too forced and obvious, and this eventually comes across as slightly pretentious, and in a small way distracts from the pure enjoyment of an otherwise good horror movie. In my opinion the film could have been excellent if the message were more subtle and less spoon-fed. Otherwise, better just to focus on telling an original story. Acting is very good, however I found the characters all annoying and difficult to relate to. The costumes and make up are excellent, and I love that this film does not rely on special effects. The film is overall entertaining and has some legitimately creepy moments, which i really enjoyed and is why I would recommend the film to a friend. In summary, the bar for good original horror is set pretty low and this film passes easily over it.",7 "After being thoroughly disappointed by the Ben Affleck-movie version, I started watching the Netflix series with no expectations what-so-ever. The series though came as a pleasant surprise. This was more of what the Marvel universe deserved. If you were to ask me what are the major plus points when comparing the movie with this series, I would say -The Script. Tightly woven and keeping you to the edge of your seat. The cast of Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson just grew into the characters and can easily be considered the mainstay of the series. If this is what the Marvel universe can offer us as a series then i will take it any day.",8 This film is just awful. It's just really boring. Didn't enjoy it at all and what is going on with Daniel Craig? His voice/accent is just terrible. I would not recommend this film.,3 "After many great reviews I decided I would go and watch this on the big screen for the atmosphere and in that at lease I have to say it was great. But and it is a big but, for a story I left feeling let down. This is no saving private Ryan or stunning epic as the critics would suggest. I am no history buff and I am from the other side of the world but even I know the story of Dunkirk and this just didn't live up the epic nature of the true story. The characters don't do the story justice, the timelines are blurred and the epic nature is missing. There are some great visual scenes and a few uplifting moments but it just didn't feel tied together. My rating is probably a bit harsh but I just don't rate this a one of the great efforts of story telling. If you didn't know anything of the actual events at Dunkirk this would leave you having missed the epic nature of what was achieved with 700 private boats over 8 days back in 1940.",6 "Avatar the Last Airbender the show was amazing and i recently finished it and felt like i should give a review about it. Masterclass in storytelling, worldbuilding, and character development characters design , voice acting are peak it drawn into them completely , also inspirational the quotes and dialogues spoken by the characters are inspiring and educational , soundtrack are fantastic , funny jokes that make you laugh , the animation have anime style and colours mix are great , most of all the best part of the show is the action and fight scenes it is thrilling and catchy and you get addicted in no time specially the character developments you will see will be no like other show so phenomenal. Even tho it isn't gory and violent as adult animation shows like rick and morty but it is dark and sad. Avatar's got it all. Fair to say it is the best animated tv series ever.",10 "The film progresses with a typical and easily assumable story. As the actions start, it feels like a complete copy of John Wick actions amd in some cases it feels like a Jason Bourne movie. I did not expect this from a film of this magnitude. Perhaps a B grade film could've fled away being a copycat, but not a film starring a hollywood A lister and one of the Russo brothers as the screenplay writer. Apart from that, the film is filled with mistakes. The Bengali markings are wrong, in some cases misspelled. The makers of this film seemed to be in hurry and forgot to do their homework properly. As a result they laid a poorly made film with a very weak story.",5 "If you haven't read the books and like the genre, run and get them, it will be worth your while. As for this series, Teresa Palmer was a terrible casting choice to portray Dr Diana Bishop, even more so when opposite to Matthew Goode - he deserved so much better. Photography was exceptional with breathtaking scenery. Not sure I'll watch the second season - that's how unbearable Palmer was.",6 "A benevolent force attacks the Earth causing anyone who sees it to self destruct. This is a very professionally shot film with great characters and amazing performances. I am very happy that this amount of talent and money is spent on science fiction and the trend to do something a little more intelligent. This is however, a simple lock-in movie. The evil entity could just as easy be zombies, aliens or any other force that can neither be defeated or reasoned with. This has great moments of tension and drama and lots of the characters are quite interesting and diverse. The problem I had with this film is even though there is a lot going on it feels like nothing happens. There is a feeling of inevitability in the characters actions. For the story to roll out how it does a lot of the characters make a difficult situation impossible through their own stupidity. Overall a good watch but nothing that is going to change your life. Which is fine.",6 "Having no previous knowledge of the Witcher (having never played the games) I loved the first season, and if I were marking that alone it would have been a solid 9 - but boy did it go downhill after that. The second season was definitely a backward step, with a poor, hard to follow plot. The third season really is a load of nonsense. A combination of poor writing, an awful plot with huge holes that makes it very hard to understand what's going on and why, and moments where you just cringe at how bad it is. No wonder Henry Cavill wanted to leave. It's such a shame after such a good first season.",5 "The depth that English drama can explore is really beyond the reach of other industries. The power of media, public will, and consumerism brought about by advanced technology erode and sink into the past. Each episode is wonderful and worth pondering.",9 Honestly I don't get it. Good performances but nothing revalatory. The lead actress looks like she's got an eating disorder.,6 "TL;DR: Thriller/horror movie featuring superheroes. Definitely a ""wild"" movie. The movie is not under the normal genre for Marvel and uses dark/grim to try and prove that it isn't always a happy universe. The result? Having graphic deaths and murders thrown in your face that make the movie feel very out of place in the MCU. My wife and I were shocked at what we were watching; we came to see the intelligent, clever Dr. Strange, not a celebration of possession, unkillable monsters, or jump scares. I had been very close to taking some younger siblings/friends kids with me - I am SO glad that I did not. This is not the unconditionally family friendly movie MCU usually shows. If the genre was not MCU-usual, the sub-par writing was. The villain emerges in an out-of-character fashion, under the guise of emotional grief, mental instability, coupled with magical corruption. The incredible visual effects are both stunning and aggressive - but not quite enough to cover bad dialogue, escape cringey comedy, or mask the amount of wasted material. One thing I hate seeing is introducing constant new material without developing anything fully; this movie is fast paced and dumps new characters and scenes onto the viewer, but just as quickly abandons them. The world building is somehow both constant and shallow. The pace wasn't bad, but really takes nothing with itself; the middle of the movie could be spliced and it would still follow. Character development is a mixed bag - one protagonist makes some admirable headway, while others have token moments of ""self-realization"" in the last sequence that win the day. A particular character has a role constituting little more than being chased, which is a disappointing limit on what the character could have brought to the table with a richer story or exploration. I was heartbroken with what they did to the villain; you may disagree. Some characters have major regression. A number of beloved characters are introduced to the fan's delight, but this is soon used to betray the audience. The response to the evils in the film are also not addressed well by the characters - there is no processing of anything that happens, and all is seemingly forgotten by everyone for a happy ending for the heroes that is not felt by the unsettled audience. While unexpected elements are bombarding the audience from start to finish, the general Marvel character formula is not. Ultimately a very mediocre film, but with the problem of being marketed to the wrong audience. If I had known what this movie was, I wouldn't have gone, and neither would any of those who were with me. Others who are more prepared may enjoy the film more. Also, couldn't they have waited until Halloween to release it?",3 "There are way too many bad reviews from petty conservative folks who can't take some political commentary. Politics aside, this show gave us more character development from Sam, Bucky and Zemo than we've seen so far in the movies.",8 """The Lighthouse"" is a stylish portrayal of descent to madness without plot or point. It is classified as a thriller and seems to have all the pieces of a thriller except the fact that there is (a) no real conclusion, and (b) no real point to it all. The story is limited (2 guys going about their work at a secluded lighthouse island), the characters are limited (crusty seafarer and seeking wanderer tropes) going about their business. Sprinkle in a few weird things which escalate to more and more intense conflict (sort of...fighting one minute and hugging the next) and confusion. Nice cinematography though.",4 "The combat scenes were outstanding! Not to mention the level 999 filming crew! However, that's all there was. The CG was okay, but not flawless. Some of the bombs were obviously fake and ruined the whole effect. The emotional component was nil. I'm the type of person who cries watching touching commercials, but my eyes were dry all the way through this movie. The relationships between the characters were very loose and unclear and not very believable. I'd say this movie is like a ""sit-act,"" A situational action movie where the main character fights anyone in front of him without rhyme or reason. If that's all you need, then this film is perfect for you.",6 "Show is good, but what i don't like is they put so many things in each episode. Stephen King described all characters so good in book and creators of this show didn't put any effort to describe all characters to viewers. But still, i like this and i waited to see this on screen from time i finished book. Can't wait to see how they will do the ending.",3 "This is the real talent when someone gets a chance beyond caste, class and Nepotism... good work Nagraj Popat Manjule ji. The concept and narrative of Nationalism is really different from previous which was portrayed since decades, thanks for being a part of revolution in the Indian Film Industry.",10 "I watched Ratsasan today and I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. This movie is of next level. Excellent screenplay, story, direction, acting. Everything is above perfect. Ratsasan is complete edge of the seat thriller. The movie starts like a normal crime movie but it intensely goes into the thriller mode. 1st half of the movie is terrific, it ends on a point, where you cannot resist yourself to know that, who is the actual killer. Vishnu Vishal has done a brilliant job, he was just fabulous in his Police role. He did not play the cop, instead he lived that cop called Arun. Amala Paul was also very good. Other casts were also good. But, it's a long movie, it is around 2 Hr 30 Mins. But, don't worry, you will not feel like that the story is dragged. You will enjoy your every minute watching this movie. All thanks to the Music Director - Gibhran for that brilliant, dark, intense background music, which perfectly syncs with the movie. This is one of the best Mystery, Psychological, Crime Thriller movie which I have ever seen in my life.",10 "Binge watched watched this and enjoyed it. Full disclosure: haven't read the books or played the games. -1 star for difficult to follow timeline. It took me at least 2 episodes to realize the time line wasn't linear. I feel like directors/writers could have done more to make the story fit together more seamlessly. -1 star for CGI work that was sub par. Dragons were particularly bad. Budget is a constraint but many engines are available now for license at an acceptable cost. -1 star for gratuitous and unnecessary nudity. I'm a fan of the human form as much as anyone; however much was completely unnecessary and did nothing to further the story. In my opinion it simply shows a lack of creativity. Story, acting, cinematography, script, are all entertaining and quite well done. My only other complaint would be that it was often difficult to comprehend the spoken lines and I'd have to turn on subtitles. BLUF: Entertaining and we'll worth a watch. Recommended. Waiting for season 2 with high hopes.",7 "The Russo brother's strike again with this amazing, thrilling and entertaining superhero movie that left me very excited to watch the next project of the Marvel cinematic universe. Everything about this movie was amazing especially the action sequences they were very exciting and not like all the other cliché and boring action movies these days. Before I watched the movie I was worried that the movie was overcrowded but I'm glad I was proved wrong. Every character had the perfect amount of screen time. The story was amazing and I was blown away by the final fight scene. I loved how the movie showed the point of the two sides which will leave the viewer switching teams in the movie. The movie is longest Marvel movie so far but I didn't feel bored at all. Every scene was very well made and had me on the edge of my seat. The entire cast did an amazing job, the cgi was awesome. I can absolutely see this movie in the list of my favorite movies of the year.",9 "Uhhh yeah, I just don't get the ""rave"" reviews. Some things just arent meant to be made fun of. This movie is not for me. Throw it onto the pile with Cuties... for the leftists and socialists to enjoy.",2 "This was a surprisingly good TV show. Yes, there's political propaganda in there and fear mongering, but if you just put that to one side, it was very on-the-edge of your seat drama with gripping action.",8 "Overall pretty good. Not great. The biggest drawback, in my opinion, is Selena Gomez and her monotone voice. Reminds me of Kirsten Dunst in Spiderman.",6 "I have watched this movie instead of going in to bed earlier so i can wake up in the morning to go on my university. Guys if anyone thinks about doing the same thing, i warn you not to! it doesn't have a point, endless non point talk, nothing happening, i have never watched a movie that its so not going to anywhere, NO POINT! Don't WAIST TIMEEE!",2 "I feel like it promotes staying with someone abusive and altering yourself for fame. Never really got the ""moral of the story"" from this one.",5 "Sure, lots of action. Explosions, killings, etc. As your would expect. Special effects, stunts. Just great. Right? But, and its a big but. Chris Hemsworth is the lead actor. He is an Ass. Tough to get past a Hollywood jerk who gets ignorantly political. How his agent would allow that is always a mystery. That is a real ""spoiler"".",5 "As this is clearly a sequel, some background and introduction was in order for those who are not devotees of the franchise or at least familiar with the central character. Apart from that, the romantic entanglements could have been played down without losing anything as long as the hero rescues the girl in the gripping finale. With those two caveats, the film succeeds spectacularly; there is even redemption for the initially reluctant supervillain as at the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour he realises his folly and sacrifices himself to save the city and perhaps the world. The main appeal of the film though is surely the special effects and stunts, which are spectacular beyond belief, even if the train sequence is something one would expect Superman to pull off but not Spider-Man. Watch out too for the briefest of cameo appearances by his creator, Stan Lee.",9 "It sometimes is difficult to follow with all the characters introduced, and, as has previously been mentioned, is hard to distinguish between flashback and current scenes. Since they are being compared, I don't think it's on the same level as GOT, but as stated it's a good watch.",6 "Definitely a much watch to all those dog lovers around the world✨. Well directed, the lead actor did a good job and overall an excellent movie. The story is very well addressed and you can definitely find some really interesting outakes when seeing the movie. The final scenes will definitely put you in tears, so make sure you got your napkins😅. The story is definitely unique and different from many of the famous movies that involves having a pet. But what's special in this movie is the fact of how a special dog like charlie transforms the life of the lead role Dharma. This movie definitely gave me the feeling that I need to get a Dog for myself. That's how Impactful this movie can be.",9 "I have watched many, many, many anime. From the shounen of Naruto and Dragon Ball. To the genius of Death Note and Saiki K. This show is absolutely one of the best anime I have ever watched. It is stunning in the visual department. Both the dub and sub actors are brilliant. The OST is simply perfect. The best song being Might+U. The characters are brilliant and all of them grow and are interesting. The story is great. While there are things wrong with this show. This was absolutely an astounding show and I recommend it to everyone.",8 "Feels and views like a poor mans Lord of the Rings.... at best! Often confusing, boring at worst, meandering and plotless, just one scene after another varying between drama, gore and violence..... so my point is what's the point! Reasonably good CGI, and costumes, but too many characters soaked in blood and covered in crap to be realistic plus it's predominantly shot in dark, night, settings.... what happened to the sun! Reverts too much to screeching violins and loud noises at the scary parts to be taken seriously and not just as another horror wannabe! Disappointing, not much else to say really, would rather watch LOTR again!",4 "Seeing a lot of reviews saying that this movie is preachy, the men are portrayed as idiots, etc. It's a SATIRE. It is meant to be over the top. And yes, it has a lot to say. But the fact that some people in the audience (and I'd wager some of the negative reviews are from people who didn't bother to watch the movie) don't want to hear it, doesn't make it any less valid. In Barbieland, Ken is just an accessory to Barbie and is portrayed as nothing more than an object - something women in the real world deal with all the time. The fact that so many men are reacting so negatively to this movie tells me they don't like being treated the way that women are treated every day. And that is the point of the movie - yet it has much more to say than that. Ultimately, the message in Barbie isn't that ""women rule and men drool"" - it's that patriarchy ultimately harms both men and women. And that's true. So people who say this movie is anti-men are missing the entire point. Patriarchy may give men privilege but it ultimately hurts them, too - pressuring them to conform to a rigid idea of manhood and silencing their self-expression. I am living for the fact that this movie is unapologetic about showing the absurdity of it all. I would have given it a 10 if it weren't for the cringe worthy Ken dance number. It was the only weak part of the movie. But otherwise, Bravo!",9 "Ten years ago, we were introduced to a young boy who had extraordinary magical powers and his destiny was to destroy the one thing he feared the most - death. In 2001, The Sorcerer's Stone (Philosopher's Stone) showed us what true friendship meant. In 2002, The Chamber of Secrets showed us courage and bravery. In 2004, The Prisoner of Azkaban showed us it takes faith to trust. In 2005, The Goblet of Fire showed us, not only skill, but a test of power. In 2007, The Order of the Phoenix showed us to open our minds and to ""not to tell lies."" In 2009, The Half-Blood Prince showed us not linger too much on the past. But in 2010 & 2011, a due to the finish will determine to have the ultimate power - the power of love. Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - Part 1 will leave a mark, not a physical mark, but a mark of urgency, a mark that is not seen - a mark to feel, a mark of love. I loved this movie. I have to say a very BIG THANK YOU to the one person who poured blood, sweat & tears into every word written on the pages of magic - J.K. Rowling. Thank you for giving us 10 wonderful years of magic. I give this movie a mere perfect score of 100 - for everything from the special effects to the incredible to the incredible artistry to the breathtaking scenery. The 3 stars - Dan, Rupert & Emma - we will miss you and we look forward to upcoming projects from you. This movie met every expectation that I had from reading the book. To close, I am a firm believer in finding my true destiny and Harry Potter helped me to find it.",10 "Dont Watch it for Anything Serious, Just Comedy, Grusome & Grotesque... The Only Reason iv'e Rated it so Low is Due to the Plane Hijacking Scene, Writers should be ashamed.",1 "Dil Se is one of the films that would never get made outside India, I guess; especially in the western world, viewers would be totally puzzled by the lack of logic that governs most of the film. And yet, it's a totally compelling movie, perhaps precisely because we do not understand what strange kind of obsession is driving Shahrukh Khan's character to follow the mysterious Meghna (Manisha Koirala), despite the fact that she is obviously not interested in him, and despite the fact that he is putting himself in real danger. On the other hand, Meghna herself seems to be driven forward by some kind of obsession, one that also remains a mystery to the viewer until about half way through the film. The mixture of obsessive love story and political thriller is not as absurd as it may seem at first, for it is the same force that is driving the main characters, and it is driving them towards the same conclusion. Performances from both Shahrukh Khan and Manisha Koirala are solid, but both have had better moments in other movies. However, the A. R. Rahman score is among the most impressive he has written so far, and Santosh Sivan's cinematography, especially during the musical numbers, is close to genius; the dark mood that permeates images, music and acting from the first scene makes you wonder from very early onwards as to what end this movie may be brought. It's probably not what you expected, but it makes perfect sense. You won't be disappointed.",9 "The Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown and matured in all the right the ways throughout the years. Establishing a shared universe with rich characters is no easy task, let alone succeeding, without compromising the quality and ethics in such a grand undertaking. Before watching Captain America - Civil War I was very skeptical about how anyone would be able to properly handle this amount of characters and high quality actors in a balanced and meaningful way. My expectations were sky high, having genuine respect for the creative handling of century old comic book characters that has been done so far is truly formidable. From start to end the movie gives you a thrill ride of untold proportions. Never was there a moment through the movie that i found useless or not helping the plot. Best Marvel movie to date, without a doubt!",10 "The movie starts with the presentation of iconic barbie world and hilarious childhood references but it gets progressively deeper. It tackles sexism, misogyny and existentialism. While it left me crying laughing it appeared a bit all over the place. I believe it would be a lot beter if it had only focused on one theme. Other than that it was an insanely self-aware, bizarre, iconic, relatable and suprisingly deep movie. Greta knew what she was doing. Goslings line delivery was hilarious and Robbie added range to an expectedly superficial character. I would also like to mention the heatbreaking yet beautiful Billie Eilish masterpiece of a song. Great job!",7 "Is the film really good? No. Would I watch the film again? No. Is the film enjoyable? Yes. If you are looking for a nice film with a romantic and comedy touch, a perfect lazy sunday afternoon film. For sur not bad, but no good either.",6 "The plot line was all over the place, CGI was excellent in many scenes and felt very cheap in others. Much of the camera angles were cheesy, a telltale sign of a Raimi film Direction: I was very disappointed, film was not even fun. The film did not shy away from pushing a political agenda, which isn't necessarily bad, but certainly felt forced and cheesy. Example; a character mentions that everything in a certain multiverse is free, and everything in most multiverses are free for that matter It's generally best to keep politics out of a movie meant for such a broad audience, that will usually win over critics as well Pacing: The fact that they cut 40 minutes of extra footage in an attempt to make this the best it could have been saddens me. Almost worth the price of admission just for some certain scenes that were graphically stunning, but do not go in there expecting a true Marvel movie because that is not what you are going to get. The movie tends to feel like it is dragging along and some scenes are much longer than they need to be and feel like nothing but fillers. Plot and Contents: The movie starts off very intriguing and easily captivates your attention, and then suddenly once an endless amount of plot holes occur, suddenly the movie feels like something you have to watch rather than something you want to. Marvel movies generally have some plot holes here and there, but this was just ridiculous. The language and dialogue was essentially PG-13, but much of the violence is R and will shock many younger viewers My overall review 4.7/10.",4 "This show have really bad wig. Lord Corlys Velaryon is comical everytime i see him i.laugh how funny he look. This must be Game of thrones parody right ?",1 "Dunkirk is the most disappointing movie I've seen in years. It made 1 hour 47 minutes seem like 3 hours. Totally boring. BTW, did the RAF really only have three airplanes dedicated to the Dunkirk battle? (I'm kidding but it sure seemed that way.)",2 "What actually happens? I had a day like this 3 weeks ago. No one critically acclaimed that. If I wanted to see some one make a friend and walk around I'd watch some CCTV. Who cares if it was a good acting performance and great chemistry etc? They didn't even really become friends, just sort of knew each others names. I think almost everyone in the world has experienced making a friend, I want to see something in a movie I can't quite achieve myself. It is not at all entertaining. I would like my few hours back, because I could probably have an experience more worthwhile than Bill Murray's character had in this film in that time.",1 """You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner... you're in one!"" First of all, Johnny Depp's performance was the only thing that kept this movie afloat. As the film that propelled Depp's career as a box office leading man, he delivered one helluva performance. Steamrolled by an epic soundtrack and one of the IPs that created by Walt Disney, I was hoping for something less disappointing.",4 Always waiting for something to happen but no much really happens just 2 guys having a go at each other strange film,2 "I'll be honest, the work of Adam Sandler is good in the movie, but, the movie tough, it's just Adam Sandler screaming for everything and just noise with weird music (loud music by the way), to be honest the movie is not boring but, it's weird, like some parts are nonsense totally, and the music, it's not good at all, weird movie, weird plot, weird music, everything in there was weird, but not in a good way.",5 "There's something almost mystical about the pacing and plot turns of Fargo. It really is something of a unique film; it's hard to compare other films to it. Those unfamiliar with life around North Dakota land will be especially intrigued, because it is a slice of America that Hollywood routinely ignores. The lifestyle is not only captured on film by direct means, it is captured indirectly simply through the pacing and erm... Color? Angles? Way?.. the film is shot. It puts you there. But you won't be focusing on that, you will be focusing on the riveting plot and performances of every actor in the film. You will experience the feeling of North Dakota along the way, but it is not the chief commodity of the film. If there were an Academy Award for the person/people who do casting for a film, this is one that should have won that year. From largest role to smallest, everyone is amazingly perfect. My only complaint with the film was how it was originally billed. It was billed as based on a true story. That must have been some sleazy move by the studio to help promote a film they felt would otherwise go unnoticed, because the film is not based on any real life story at all. The people are all very real and believable, as is the plot, as is the place. But outside of the place, it's entirely fiction.",9 "The movie is quite a chore to get through, even though I like Ryan, this is just an awfully boring film.",1 This actually started pretty good with a decent script and story line and it was also well acted with a great performance from the leading actress. The first few episodes had a bit of action and some good intense scenes with some interesting characters. However it was all a bit over complicated with not enough explanation and the last two episodes were mostly boring dialogue. It really fell apart toward the end of the show. Nick Offerman was a decent character but a bit unbelievable at times.,3 "It is enjoyable enough but my major gripe about this film is Jennifer Lawrence, who is normally very watchable and portrays good characters in her films. In this she adopts an Austin Power's like Russian accent & the fact she doesn't even bother to learn a few words in Russian, whilst her character is there, feels like an insult to that language.",3 "Lost in Space is an enjoyable, well made series. The production value is incredibly high, and the wide shots of vast landscapes make for a visual feast. The quality of effects on the robot and spacecraft is also commendable. The characters are all pretty good, and the relationships between them become more clearly defined as the show goes along. The initial intrigue and mystery of why exactly the characters are in space, and the origins of the robot keep the viewer engaged. The main characters are almost always in danger, creating a sense of urgency as well. Where the show is more frustrating is the plot itself. Because the characters are always in danger, and there always seems to be some big spectacle taking place on screen, little time is devoted to developing any sort of plot within each episode and throughout the season. At the end of every episode the crisis is averted, of course only for some new problem to pop up in the next one. Getting to the finale, some semblance of a plot is quickly set up a couple of episodes in advance before being quickly diffused. This is where the show suffers and what holds it back greatly.",7 "I walked into the first 'Iron Man' movie with low expectations, but came out pleasantly surprised at how good the flick was. The opposite can be said for 'Iron Man 2'. Unlike its predecessor, the narrative of the sequel was flat and Dull, trying desperately at times to cram in sub plots of little interest, seemingly for the benefit of future 'Marvel' films (Avengers). The movie was disappointing overall but not without its good points. The look of the film is superb, with stunning visual effect put to good use in many creative and innovative set pieces. Great performances once again from returning cast members Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow, with Mickey Rouke stealing the show as Ivan Vanko. However, the characters of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) added nothing of any interest, with their screen time slowing down an already tedious storyline. Two characters inserted only to serve as a tie in to the aforementioned Avengers movie. I would sum up Iron Man 2 as a dazzling piece of eye candy with little substance. Not a complete mess, but a disappointment none the less, as it never hovered anywhere near the high standard set by the original.",6 "I finally had the chance to watch the 3rd season, started over from beginning and thought it was fun to watch. I really did like it, all except for Dr. Smith. Maybe if they would have had someone different playing the part, I just didn't like her.",9 "Superbad is destined to become a classic. Although, as other reviewers have said, it is a ""loser trying to get laid"" movie, it is a lot smarter and a lot deeper. Instead of the ""losers"" being unrealistically good-looking (as with all ""losers"" in movies), you have Seth and Evan, whose plights are a lot more believable. You have Seth, who is slightly overweight, sports a jewfro, and has a penchant for drawing penises, and Evan, who is the all-around socially awkward nerd. Fogell, an incredibly awkward dweeb with a squeaky voice and tendency to act like a ""gangsta"", is the duo's sidekick. Together these three spin a wild tale of life in high school, driven by choice funk and classic rock tunes. Seth's character carries the movie, with a loud mouth and an almost poetic ability with insults. One of my favorite moments of the movie was when Seth confronted Fogell about his fake ID which only had one name: ""McLovin."" All in all, I'm very impressed with how a generic and ancient cinematic concept can have such a new and refreshing twist.",10 "Although the content is terrifying, this is just not a good movie. There is no forward action and no plot to speak of. The acting and production values are great. But it felt as though it were shot in real time. The movie depicts day after day after day of misery. The other reviewers seem to think it was a good movie because of how it represents man's horrific behavior. But that doesn't mean it's a good film. It's a good depiction of how rotten people can be, not good cinema and Lord knows, it's not entertaining. It also seems interesting that there are claims made that we haven't seen anything like this before. We just saw a nearly identical lashing- to-a-post-and-being-whipped in last year's CLOUD ATLAS. A good example of this time period being represented artistically is Toni Morrison's book BELOVED. A simple visual representation of cruelty is not art.",5 "There is a noticeable drop off in quality of plot and script between the two seasons, so despite the same actors and the same general innuendo, season 2 feels relatively dull and vapid. I'm hoping that season 3 returns to the glory of the first season....they had a good thing going there for a while.",5 "(NOTE: This review is coming from someone who's actually LIVED in Japan their whole life - and my translating is just okay) Groundhog Day >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lost In Translation That's a MUCH better film you ought to be checking out right now, with meaning and entertainment. This film was WAY over-hyped by the Nostalgia Critic (lulz). I don't care if so many critics liked this film; I don't care if Scarlett Johansen is mostly known for this film! It is surely one of the most boring and undeveloped films I've seen! If you aren't feeling very lonely right now, you very well may by the time you've finished reading this review. For it is the review of a movie that woos, romances and longs after loneliness. A movie that is capable of reaching down inside the most gregarious, convivial person in the world and drawing to the surface a kernel of desperate detachment. Bob is an over-the-hill, middle-aged movie star who relies on his accumulated fame to keep him in the money through retirement. He's in Tokyo to earn $2 million for shooting a whiskey commercial. Charlotte is a young college graduate, recently married and tagging along with her photographer husband on a business trip. Both wind up at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, with lots of time on their hands and no one to share it with. After 25 years, Bob's marriage is shaky, suffering from his frequent absences. After two years, Charlotte's not sure who it is she married, or why. Both are tired. Bored. Lonely. And emotionally fragile. So when they meet, there's an instant connection. Age and social status (or even marital status, for that matter) seem irrelevant as the two cradle drinks at the hotel bar, share lunches, midnight parties and 4 a.m. heart-to-hearts. Director Sophia Coppola (Francis Ford's daughter) draws on her own experiences in Tokyo to bring it to life, but effortlessly. Bob and Charlotte's collective pensiveness and dislocation is backlit by the Japanese capital's freneticism. And the contrast is used to good effect. Racing elevated trains, throngs of pedestrians, flashing neon signs, and the din of bad karaoke don't neutralize the angst, they accentuate, and exacerbate it to the point that its nearly tangible. Bill Murray has always had a melancholy streak. But he typically uses it as a foil for his humor. Here, he wears it on his sleeve, refusing to duck and cover behind mirth and frivolity. And in doing so he delivers the performance of a lifetime. His on-screen companion, Scarlett Johanssen (The Man Who Wasn't There, The Horse Whisperer), easily keeps pace, allowing onlookers a riveting glimpse of the tragedy that occurs when youthful energy and enthusiasm crash into directionlessness and amorality. If one refuses to give in to the movie's moodiness, it becomes merely a dim documentary of two individuals' plodding trips to Tokyo; They eat, they go for walks, they gaze out over the city from their generic hotel rooms, etc. Indeed, eliminate emotion from the equation and ""Lost in Translation"" stops working in ANY language. But it's impossible to separate what's happening on-screen with what happens in your heart. And that is what has made this movie a critic's darling. It's also the pit it falls into while the crowds are obliviously cheering. Because of those strong emotions racing back and forth between projected image and human heart, moviegoers will find themselves relishing the connection and bond they see ""innocently"" forming between Bob and Charlotte. You're compelled to desire their happiness, and the only way they'll ever be happy, you become convinced, is for them to be together. Never mind that that would mean the destruction of two separate families. Sucked in to the moment, it's easy not to care. This film also includes mumbo-jumbo about our souls picking our path through life before we are born. And it's awful that they had to include disgusting & demonic Shintoist and Buddhist references and shrines into the film; that's ultimately when the film jumped the shark for me. The people invented this false cults and religions are FAR beyond superstitious and need to have their heads examined. Hollywood gets a lot of things wrong, and wants to make you believe their films are based on reality; well think again! Hollywood has become more HollyWEIRD these days! And a little bit of useful information of history for you foreigners wishing to visit Japan: People in Osaka are a lot more foregoing, optimistic, extroverted, sociable, kind, lighthearted, & entertaining than people in Tokyo. Because back during the Edo Period, Osaka was mostly filled with merchants, while Tokyo was mostly filled with samurai warriors; so the historical personalities are still somewhat existent in their current state. Just thought I'd throw that out for you people, because I do think Tokyo is one of the most cliché'd cities in the world to visit. 3/10 PS: Sophia's a hack",3 A invisible monster which only has the power to make you commit suicide when you look in its direction (since it's invisible you cannot look at it). Oh yes it also has the power to perform mimicry You can dance around the monster screaming loud and with your eyes closed it cannot do anything. You can run around it and mock it with a blanket over your head it cannot to do anything. Absolutely awful movie. I cannot walk around my house with my eyes closed and they go through a forest and a rapid. Sandra Bullock and those two kids can be part of Marvel or DC universe fir their superpowers. The best part is they keep few birds in a shoe box and survive a fall in a rapid and all with blindfolded. There is a Sophie's Choice moment as well. Waste of time.,1 "How can people say this is better than ENDGAME? I had high expectations but every episode has been worse than the previous ones. Silly one liners, loki seems to get ""stupid-er"" and too goody with every episode, how can someone change that much after watching a vhs tape of his life?!? The TVA plot seems over explained and dialogues with the loki-sylvie seems to unnecessary and dragged at times. Disappointed is an understatement. Oh well, 1 more episode to go, guess will have to finish it just for the sake of it.",1 "Perhaps I need to go back to reading his works instead of trying to watch adaptations of them, because evidently they are just too slow paced, not interesting, and they just drag out their crud for no reason. The characters are dumb in this show, its yet naother crummy hbo show that wastes time instead of doing anything worthwhile, and Stphen Kings obsession with his quasi grasp of the supernatural, aka mental powers like the shining which are present in one form or another in 9 out of ten of his works, its played out and lackluster here. ONe of kings worst tv shows if not the worst so far. HBO...I want a refund.",4 "Every girl I know was obsessed with the book. And then the movie. I figured that it had to be good, with such a high score. Makes sense, right? Man, was I surprised. The movie was awful. The majority of the actors weren't at all believable and those who were played annoying and cheesy clichés. Many scenes made no sense and were unrealistic. The whole experience was bad as well. The audience that went to see this film is made up of teenage girls who ignored all the faults in the film and gave it a 10. I hope someone like me is reading reviews here. Then maybe they could avoid ever paying to see this movie. I nearly left the theatre towards the end when pretty much everyone in there started sobbing uncontrollably. It was too cheesy and bad to be at all emotional. There was nothing I took away from this film. I wouldn't recommend seeing it. I was extremely disappointed.",2 "Love knows no boundaries! It transcends all boundaries! I just saw this movie for the 3rd time, and this is the first time I really saw it for what it is. A masterpiece. Mani Ratnam, Ram Gopal Verma, Shehkar Kapoor, Santosh Sivan, Farah Khan, A. R.Rahman, Gulzar, Shahrukh Khan and Manisha Koirala, all combine to paint a portrait of love that cannot be withheld or stopped as long as the heart beats. The way the movie progresses is almost poetic. Using Allama Iqbal's poetry in the background, plus a verse from Ghalib in one of the songs, is pure magic. Special mention to the Cinematography, Choreography and the Background Score. Watch it twice!!",10 "Don't know if it was his intent but Tim Burton managed what the cw could not . Nancy Drew was supposed to be a mystery solver but it turned into a disappointing spook fest . This edition of Wednesday was supposed to be a spook fest and was but it also made her the mystery solver. At that, it managed to hold its own. Cristina Ricci is the epitome of Wednesday Addams set against the lame script and Jenna Ortega is a decent to good Wednesday set against a slightly better script, but much better than the scripts provided Cristina, especially in the sequel. That sequel was the worst script. The first sequel could have been skipped.",4 "I heard a number of great things about Inception, including from my sister who came out saying it was one of the cleverest and best movies she'd seen. After seeing it for myself, I thought it was a good film, but not as good as I was led to believe. Out of the Christopher Nolan movies I have seen, Inception didn't wow me as much as Memento and The Prestige, and it is one of my least favourites of his so far. Does that mean the film is bad? No, I am just saying I do not think it is Nolan's best as I have heard people say. My main problem with Inception was the lack of emotional attachment, I do understand completely anybody who says it is emotionally cold. Particularly in the characters, they are written and acted well, but not much is done to make us empathise with them and their predicaments. I loved the idea of the story, it was clever and somewhat original and it did start very compelling and intriguing, but as the film progresses it does become rather convoluted and I found myself losing a little interest. Also, the pace is uneven, as the characters became more cold and the story more convoluted, the film really does start to drag until the conclusion where the film does thankfully pick up. Inception despite these faults does have a number of strengths, especially the beautifully crafted production values, dream sequences and effects and Nolan's superb direction. Hans Zimmer's score is incredibly good too, while powerful and haunting it rarely becomes overbearing, while the dialogue is on the whole clever and thought-provoking. The acting is generally very good, both Leonardo DiCaprio, with a more hardened persona which has grown even more, and Ellen Page give strong performances and while Marion Cotillard is underused she is pretty good as well and Cillian Murphy I think gives the best supporting performance as he is superb. Overall, Inception is a generally good film but not as good as it is lauded to be. 7/10 Bethany Cox",7 "The first two seasons were awesome. Hard to believe that the second can be as good as the first when every season has his own ending. And then come the 3rd... No good lines, a lot of unreal behaviors in different situation... weak lines and no narative consistency. In a LOT of intense situation they are trolling , mainly speaking like this is a parody - about something else, irelevant for the show. So... this is it for me! Thx for the brilliant 1st and 2nd season!",7 7.1 is a very generous rating for this film. The whole movie has no point. Stupid action with no plot. Over the Scarlet Witch after this one. She brings nothing to the Marvel Universe imo. This movie was purely a money grab. I hope they don't make another Dr. Strange. On the other hand can't wait to watch the new Thor movie.,3 "Annihilation is one of the most underwhelming films I have ever encountered. It was recommended by Netflix for having a well-crafted script mixed with acclaimed shows like Breaking Bad, Ozark, and Dark; I approached Annihilation with high hopes. However, my expectations were shattered as the film unfolded, descending further into a pit of boredom with each passing minute. One aspect that became immediately apparent was the low-budget nature of the production. While I can appreciate a film's creativity and resourcefulness even with limited funds, Annihilation's special effects fell disappointingly short. The CGI was lackluster, akin to the quality found in low-budget productions from the '90s. I assume it was low-budget, if not, that's even worse. Annihilation suffers from an agonisingly slow pace and an inadequately constructed plot. Very little actually transpires throughout the film, and what little does occur is poorly woven together. As a result, the characters lack depth, making it impossible to gauge the talents of the leading female actresses. Even the most skilled performers would struggle to salvage the film's lifeless script and subpar cinematography. This deficiency is further exacerbated by the woefully unconvincing CGI, creating a disheartening backdrop that fails to immerse viewers. In short, Annihilation is a sluggish, uninteresting, and poorly executed film. Its flaws become increasingly pronounced as the story unfolds, reminiscent of a car struggling to shift into a lower gear. The initially promising storyline deteriorates, leaving audiences yearning for any semblance of excitement or substance, which never materializes. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend Annihilation. It falls woefully short of its initial potential, leaving viewers with a profound sense of disappointment. I can't even rate it as one of those low-budget sci-fis that are so bad they are funny, it's just bad.",2 "The movie is really slow in getting into pace. The first act was quite boring, and the soundtrack gave me a headache. That discothek/hiphop music felt so out of place it was cringeworthy. After some painful waiting we get to the 3rd act where the potential of this movie begins to shine through. But even though the 3rd act felt like some fresh air, it only showed that the movie could have been so much better. I would have loved a more character driven story. With more spirit and character. And more stylelized in the camp eastetic of the roaring 20's. But alas, we're left with this stinker of a movie, that draged its feet 75% of the time. Should have cut so many things, because this movie's runtime did not help. 4/10: just don't.",4 "It's one of those things with the Oscar winners of recent years. Most of the time, not many viewers want to see the films and the question always arises whether commercialism is fundamentally not worthy of an award and whether the Oscars must always be about art, which is often very subjective. In the case of the winning film of 2023, I can only say that I am not really happy with the decision. After 30 minutes I didn't understand what it was all about and even though I think Michelle Yeoh is well worth seeing, I am left with a question mark as to whether I would really have given her the Oscar for best actress. Strangely enough, this comedy as such doesn't work at all. Hectic, overloaded with prejudices, including racist moments, which, however, originate from the supposed Chinese woman, comedy that is more reminiscent of bad slapstick and individual performances that don't add up to anything. After 30 minutes I was no longer prepared to get involved in the story, which is unravelled in such a confused way that I suspect that quite a few viewers will not have experienced the ridiculous kung fu scene in the tax office at all.",4 "Try not to listen to had reviews, season 2 is as good as season 1. Black comedy isn't for everyone but if you do enjoy it, this one is for you! The casting is fantastic, and so is the acting, and cinematography. Episodes are only short but each of them pack a lot of punch.",9 "DISLIKES 1- This movie is far too long and inflated with unnecessary lines. Diana is too preachy; her self-righteous monologues and dialogues contribute nothing to the film, to the contrary, they rob the viewer of the suspense and enjoyment of the film. 2- This is a fantasy/action movie but there is not much action and, the mixing of fantasy with an element of warped history does not help either. Of course the producers were aware of what they were doing. They deliberately depicted the Turks as the partners of the Nazi Germans who developed chemical weapons during WWI. Sorry, I am not a 5 year old and I know for sure that Nazi Germany had not existed until 1930s and the Turks had stayed neutral during WWII. Actually, to the contrary of what the movie shows, the Turks saved a lot of Jews from the hands of the Nazis. If the producers were looking for a Nazi collaborator, I wonder why they didn't chose a different nation who indeed helped the Nazis during the war e.g Switzerland, Sweden, Italy or Japan...I wonder if John Kerry used his influence over the Hollywood producers when he met them last February. Of course, one should know why the US has created so many superhero Hollywood characters. Such superhero characters have merely served towards the US's goals during the 40's, 50's and the cold war era against the Soviets (Capitalism V Communism). By the looks of it such superheroes will serve the US's foreign policies for a long long time to come. 3- The message of the film is rather laughable considering the number of people Diana already killed, her shouting about love at Ares was particularly silly at this point. First kill and then send love messages. Yeah sure... We have seen this scenario in real life indeed. No, the world does not need a superhero thank you Bush, Obama, Trump, Kelly... LIKES 1- This is not a low budget film by any standards. Costumes, special effects etc were all good. 2- It is good to see a strong female superhero amongst the male dominated superhero characters. 3- Fighting scenes were good but I would have expected to see more of them.",2 "Okay, so today i went to an advanced screening of this movie. It was really last minute and I didn't know much about it other than it was from the makers of The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up and it looked pretty funny. I expected it to be funny, but my expectations were blown out of the water. It was extremely smart and pretty much believable. Well, some of the situations are a little ridiculous, but what's a good comedy without a little nonsense? But the characters were all so awesome. There were a few parts where i was a little uncomfortable. There are some pretty explicit drawings in it so you might not want to see it with younger siblings or parents. But I'm telling you, this movie was super funny.",7 "Extraction shines with action sequences. The story is very weak, but the climax is hard-hitting. The movie is filled with Strong bloody violence & language. Still it's very filmy . As individual actors acting style is different: Indian actors did well still they don't fit with their characters or all together in frame . Emotional scenes actually making movie weaker. Plot is very limited. action is only thing which helped this movie !",4 "The Godfather: Part II is without doubt the most impressive example of film-making ever. Francis Ford Coppola displays his directorial genius once again in his story telling, based on Mario Puzo's powerful novel. Despite the absence of Marlon Brando and James Caan the cast is incredibly strong, notably Robert DeNiro who flawlessly plays the young Vito Corleone. Al Pacino gained excellent, well-deserved reviews as he convincingly plays the cool Michael Corleone. Robert Duvall also deserves a mention for his vital role in the movie, he plays the family's lawyer Tom Hagen as impeccably as in the original Godfather. Before I saw the sequel, I believed that the Godfather was the greatest movie ever made but the Godfather Part II surpasses the original, which is not common. I thought having two stories running parallel throughout the movie was a unique and intelligent idea but the most impressive element of the movie was the broader picture of the mafia family's dealings given to the audience. As great as the original was, I thought it was somewhat limited. However, where its predecessor fails the Godfather: Part II succeeds resulting in an exquisite movie.",10 Lokesh direction Karthi acting and Sam c s music ....top notch,6 "I already had a feel of Sofia Coppola's work before seeing her most well known movie, by having watched the Beguiled and read some articles about her style. Yet, I felt I needed to watch Lost in Translation to have an informed opinion. To me, every single aspect of this movie came out as very superficial. The plot, the exploration of the Japanese surroundings, the characters and their bond and even the photography, which although beautiful, was not enough to save this movie, or to make it comparable to the slow paced European films whose main quality is the cinematography. I believe the idea could have been explored much more deeply. The film could have either kept the aesthetics and lost the romance (or whatever that was, the inexistent relation between the characters) OR spent more time developing a connection which would have made the ""emotional"" scene at the end justified. Not knowing which direction you are going in or having a midlife crisis are not good enough premises to assume depth in the story.",5 "Dev D,is a movie that definitely is not a Devdas. And it certainly does not boast about being in the league of the previous Devdas's may it be Dilip Kumar's or Shah Rukh Khan's. Dev D, is a fresh script and the characters are superbly written. Director Anurag Kashyap, has made a movie with a simple script told in a really complex way with the casting director being absolutely on target with the casting of every character. Dev D is no over the moon movie, but it simply justifies the fact that you do not need big stars to make a movie look good. Dev D's protagonist Devender Singh Aka Dev(Abhay Deol) is a spoilt brat coming from a really well off punjabi family. Dev,arrogant yet so sensible falls in love with his childhood friend Paro Aka Parminder(Mahie Gill). Unseen circumstances lead to Dev losing Paro, who goes on to marry an close family acquaintance leaving Dev to his all time companion ""Alcohol"". Dev goes on to realize how much he actually loved Paro and gets completely into Alcohol-Drugs and Girls. Now during this phase is when he comes across Chanda(Kalki Koechlin), a prostitute through a local pimp Chunni(Dibyendu Bhattacharya). Dev finds comfort and lot of relief as he continues to spend time with Chanda letting out all that he ever had for Paro, both fall in love. Dev leaves Chanda no sooner his conscious pricks him about Chanda being a Sex Worker. Life again seems to take Dev for a ride as circumstances put him into some serious legal tangle. The things that follow is to watch for, which gives this movie a happy ending. Dev D, definitely is engaging.. but only in parts. The movie is slow paced which might make the audience restless during certain parts of the movie. Dev D also has the real world touch to it, recreating the DPS MMS Scandal and BMW Road Rage killings in the movie. The man who steals the show with an impeccable performance is Abhay Deol. He is awesome throughout the movie making you cling onto the movie even in the most slowest of scenes.He is definitely showing his worth as an Actor. The performance of Mahie Gill and Kalki Koechlin is to watch out for. It definitely does not feel like its their first movie. They're too good for their first movie. And as far as the other actors go, they've delivered the goods quite perfectly. Dev D, is movie that shows intimate scenes of the movie differently and boldly. Music of the movie is average,the song ""Tauba Tera Jalwa"" being the most liked one. Dev D simply lacks the pace that's needed, making it an average movie at the end of the day. And am quite sure about the fact that the movie will get mixed reviews among different groups of audience apart from the Critic's. Dev D is a movie that not everyone will like after watching it, as its so far from the usual commercial cinema. I would suggest you to go watch the movie and see for yourself. But still for people who're in a double mind, this is not a Must Watch. I will go with 7 out of 10, for Anurag Kashyap's Dev D. Ans two thumbs up for the freshness and the direction of the movie. Not a Must Watch, but i suggest you to.",8 "When I was slightly younger, I had many of the publications of DC and Marvel, but this awful TV series does not manage to capture ANY aspect of what I fondly remember as a mysterious and almost magical alternate reality. I have unfortunately watched a few episodes of this, and there is so much wrong with Daredevil it is hard to be constructive. The plots are vague, the violence is too much, the 'fights' almost identical in each episode, silly (and over-prolonged/time-wasting) male-female 'interactions', I could go on and on. Foggy's character/script are clichéd, and really, why is he there? The mumbling (low voice/high voice) dialogue of Fisk, (and some other characters) does not make Daredevil dark and moody, just insulting to watch. Do the 'creators' of Daredevil only have teenagers in mind when making this garbage? Note that all the good reviews are from the teenage demographic, (probably), and appear to have no taste or the tiniest idea of how TV programs should be made. Who are the scriptwriters? Where were they educated? Why are they so lazy and uncreative? Will they ever get a proper job? Truly an insulting attempt at entertainment. I wish I had never seen it. Sorry for the negativity, I guess I just feel dismayed when being treated like a moron.",1 "Just watched the movie. Despite my best wishes, I simply cannot find myself singing praises to such a poorly-done movie. Ranging from the grossly obvious CGI to the poorly written-out story line, Endgame is extremely underwhelming. Throughout the movie I found myself sitting in utter disbelief as to how Endgame went so wrong after a fantastic Infinity War.",2 """Knives Out"" was one of my favorite movies of 2019, so naturally I was anxious to see the follow-up. It's not quite as good as the original, but I'm still glad I saw it. I could have done without the futuristic technology, and I found the ending rather childish and over-the-top. There were other elements that defied belief, but I can't say more without giving away big-time spoilers. Though Daniel Craig is a delight as Benoit Blanc, the true star of ""Glass Onion"" is Janelle Monae. She owns every scene in which she appears! I was also glad to see Edward Norton again. I can't readily recall the last time I saw him in a film. There is very good support from Kate Hudson as well. In summary: if you're a fan of the original film, there's a good chance you'll like this one too.",8 "I had a lot of expectations for this movie after hearing so much positive about the movie from both critics and the audience. The makers tried to be deep and profound, but what resulted was two hours of head-splitting chaos and confusion. I just don't understand the hype for this movie. They tried too hard to be weird. I think at the end they were trying to pull the heartstrings, but I was too confused to know for sure. I'm not even sure what the movie was about. Whatever it was, they should have had an epileptic seizure warning. Overall, it was just a messy movie with bad editing and it was just movie's luck that it worked at box office.",4 I heard ads saying this was the best Mission Impossible film but I definitely don't think so. This doesn't mean the movie wasn't enjoyable but I wouldn't call it the best film of the franchise.,6 Great and powerful one with ending coming close. It's all on stakes and you don't really know who is gonna live and who is gonna die (unless you read the books or watching it all again like me). I really love the characters right now and care about them unlike Fantastic Beasts characters.,8 "(edit after episode 9) (my rating going up from 4/10 to 6/10 overall) If episodes 1 to 6 were weak (see below)... the show stepped up its game starting episode 7 (about time !!!). Still no epic breath but it is becoming rather interesting to watch, even if there are still flaws here and there... and there again ;) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Where the hell the HBO developement & artistic team has gone ???!!! Was there any scriptwritting and directing supervision at all ??? They maybe just left the keys of the House to George RR Martin... thinking it would be enough for the magic to come back. Wrong ! The magic is gone... What a sloppy job. In nearly every department : Insufficient plots & uninspired stories ou sub-stories - A lot of non-charismatic characters (or not developed enough) - Uninsipred dialogues (with a very few exceptions) - Directing with no angle or special point of view - Average acting............ Absolutely NO EPIC BREATH. What a fall... It is sometimes even painfull to watch, while remembering/comparing to the GOT exciting and inspiring saga. ""House of the dragons"" season 1 is barely an average show, with no flavour, weak and unimaginative most of the time. But who knows ? If creators and producers wake up right now, maybe it is not too late for a good season 2 and a rise above this creative accident. Let's hope so !",6 "What if comic book fans were hanging out and made up cool alternate scenarios with their favorite superheroes that they thought would never be made, but they actually made them? That's what this show is. The different scenarios and versions of these characters in crazy stories is so fun to experience. The animation looks great, with some BEASTLY action scenes that gave me goosebumps. This has limitless potential. Can't wait to see more. Season 1: 8 stars (3 viewings, 10/13/2021, 5/5/2022, 12/26/2023). Episode ratings: 8, 7, 7, 9, 8, 7, 8, 8, 8.5. Season 2: 7 stars (1 viewing, 12/30/2023). Episode ratings: 7, 7, 4, 7, 6, 4, 7.5, 8, 7.5.",7 "This is the most boring Marvel movie I have seen. Obviously targeted for teenager demographics, the movie doesn't shy away to show how immature Peter Parker still is having made really bad choices in the first two films. It seems he still hasn't grown up. Bad CGI, bad character development, really boring plot. Just utterly boring.",2 "Wonder Woman 2017 is a generic, yet slightly entertaining adventure movie with no deeper understanding or appreciation for the source material. Gal Godot lacks the presence and physicality of the DC Comics character. David Thewlis who is a brilliant character actor, simply doesn't fit as the god of war either. Better see him in Fargo 3, where he really shines! Wonder Woman is the usual superhero cash grab fest based on a completely predictable, paint by numbers script. The script here is so interchangeable it could fit any Hollywood heroes from Indiana Jones to Robert Downey Jr's impersonation of Sherlock Holmes. On the bright side there are a few laughs here, including the unintentional ones when they cut back and forth between the stunt woman and Gal Gadot. Wonder Woman this is surely not, but a brainless 141 min adventure ride. If you expected any other than another DC Comics sell-out at this time the last laugh is on you.",2 "This show is so much better than I thought it would be. To begin with, it's lost in space for grown-ups. In the barren wasteland that Netflix has become, this show is actually worth watching and isn't just a rehash of the original. Parker Posey as the sinister Dr. Smith is a clever change of pace and she is brilliant (and completely loathsome) in the role. That the Robinsons are a couple on the marital rocks adds another level of tension. The girls are adults with complex characters and Will's relationship with the robot is next level. The scenery is gorgeous and the CGI is truly next level. Glad I found this!",7 Amazing combination of darkness and fun. The character portrayed are upto the mark especially billy Butcher amazing acting.,9 "Charlie Booker is a good (maybe great) comedy writer. He's not good at dystopian fiction. A lot of good actors in these episodes and the series really swings for the fence, but it's a strikeout. The ideas are thin, the dialog is wooden and the concepts are pretty lightweight and at the same time, pretty repulsive. Sort of a ""Idiocracy"" feel to the series, with the current state of affairs brought to some sort of futuristic territories, but no humor and very little to recommend it. I watched the first one, the one about the return of the dead thru software, the one about the special Disney punishment village and the one about the ""American Idol""/Hunger Games kind of TV show, with the avatars and all that. None of them really any good, and a pity to see Mike Smiley and some of the characters from the Thick of It wasted in this. I spose they enjoyed the paycheck",5 "Outstanding movie.. I watched yesterday..nagraj manjules movies are always rocks.. As usual Amitabh Bachchan acting is great.. This movie is based on football story, but focus on inequality in indian society.. But some casteist people are hates this movie.. Because of just jai bhim slogan in this movie..and celebrations of bhim jayanti.. Nice movie.. everyone should watch this movie.",10 "This film came highly praised which always raises ones expectations so by the end I was disappointed. It does have one of Bill Murray's finest performances, it does have one or two hilarious scenes, and it's presentation of Tokyo is dazzling and enticing. But there was an uneasyness about the film, the way it gets most of it's laughs at the expense of japanese language and culture and the rather big age difference between the two leads (not helped by Murray looking a lot older than his 53 years). You knew the relationship was always going nowhere and when the laughs dry up the film slowly draws to it's obvious conclusion. There are some great lines mostly between Murray and his wife and the soundtrack by kevin Shields is the coolest thing about the film, which is by no means bad, but in the end you wished for more of a story rather than this dreamy vague impression of one. (6/10)",6 "Just got back from the theatre. I just can say WOW! The best superhero movie I have seen, that too its a sequel!!!! The stuff why I like spidey2 1.Emotions: Sam Raimi managed to capture the essence of a superhero. Not the dumb witted muscle bags who runs around killing villains and saving innocent people but a real person with feelings like you and me. Spidey gets angry,scared and even selfish! Spidey is human! The movie proves it. 2.Storyline & Dialogues: Strong storyline with a established base to work, a great screenplay writer, and a very good cast = A GOOD MOVIE. I have to say there are one or two instance when we feel like story drags. But it quickly recovers and paces on with renewed vigour. The dialogues forms the life of this movie. Crisp and to the point. I really had fun with the comic sequences all with spiderman. 3.Cast: Though the cast was the same/similar to the previous movie this time around I really feel all of them have done terrific jobs. Kudos to the cast! I loved Toby and Kirsten. Spidey2 could have been a romantic flick! 4.Special FX: much improved than the first part. The fight sequences were excellently executed. Spideys web slinging has also improved , the arches postures all seem natural now. Maybe 2 years of web swinging did the trick. However they have to improve on the spidey CG character. Seems a bit too shiny at times. The end gave hints to next spidey movie but i think it might destroy the next movie. I left the theatre feeling with no anxiety for the next movie since spidey is doing good with his life. I enjoy Marvel comics.I enjoyed Spiderman2. It felt like reading a comic book in its spirit. Verdict: ****1/2 of 5 See the movie with your family/friends/or even with the girl next door.. you will enjoy this long awaited 2004's Greatest Summer Blockbuster 'Go get em Tiger!!!'",9 "Unless you have a mind numbing crush on Margot or Ryan, don't bother. This movie wants to be fun and yet ruins it with conjecture no one wants to hear about. We go to the movies, stream films to get away from conjecture and enjoy a fantasy land for 1.5-2 hours, not to be preached at or to made to feel guilty for stuff we had nothing to do with. So this is up against Oppenheimer, ridiculously long and super smart, this is what we've got now, super dumb and overly intellectual. I don't know, Rebel Moon has a better chance than this movie to inspire women. Other than a handful of laughs, it's not worth the 2 hr run time. Don't bother.",2 "Initially gave a 10 review for S1. S2 was ok. But S3 is just constantly bringing me out of the illusion, because seemingly everything moves along to a script where an event happens. While the writers have forgot that any event has to come from the plot, not because it says so on page xx. It's constantly out of nowhere things happen, that make no sense with anything that's going on. Cavill is the heart of this show. Can't say i have any desire to watch it without him. Freya Allan is becoming a better actor too, she's been really good in S3. I suppose with the recent strikes, it's apparent that it's the studio execs that are to blame for not leaving the writers to write properly. And also to bloody cut out the one person who's heart is really in it. It certainly felt like S3 could have been done well, and been an excellent season. If only it was allowed to be polished and spellchecked before being pushed to production. In short, season 3 is just bad quality and everyone deserves better.",8 "The show was truly amazing. One of the best Indian Television/Web Series. Pros: * Brilliant Acting * Superb Cinematography * Great Direction * Amazing Story & Dialogues * No Censorship loved the Narrative & how the Characters are tied together. Cons: * almost 20% is spoken in Marathi, which is really hard to understand unlike Punjabi (which is less than 5%) they should have provided with subtitles in those moments. * Sometimes the story loose its pace a bit too much wish Netflix charges were lower, so I could get the membership & watch it once more. My Rating = 8.5",9 "I really was expecting much more...The first one was an absolutely marvelous nod towards golden times of writing and cinema , this one feels like a parody on them...

Unfortunate...still 6 stars , still better than most modern films...",6 "It is one of those movies which tell you a terrible and sadly true story about injustice and despair, in this circumstance about slavery in America. You will feel anguish and sadness. You will be be thrown in the middle of a bleak story of violence and hopefully condemn any form of racism and understand how evil have been white men, at that time in that place. No questions the movie is well done, with beautiful scenarios, very good acting, a good script, etc... but at points I wondered why should one keep watching this kind of violent and depressing stories (is it for people who ignore such things happened? then I would say its target should be schools and young children, but this is definitely not a movie addressed to them). I cannot agree with reviews saying this is a masterpiece, as I cannot find particular reasons for that. Where is innovation, creativity, poetry? A good movie it is, but mainly due to the fact it rediscovers the story of an otherwise forgotten hero. Personally I would have probably enjoyed it more if the movie kept telling the story of its hero in his fight for justice over his white masters and against slavery (for his contribution over a wider problem). Ultimately I believe this might be the reason why the main character should not be forgotten today and can be seen as a hero: for his contribution in fighting for an equal world. But this is only quickly written in the end titles. The movie is mainly a ride across violence and despair. Not the main reason I enjoy to watch movies.",5 This show is okay. It's funny at first but it just feels really repetitive. 5 out of 10.,5 "Probably the worst movie in all Harry Potter era. The story line was basic, even boring. There was no magic, just a plain story, no soul. Dialogue was poor and predictable. The rhythm of the movie was a bit bizarre, flat, without keeping suspense, so everything was a bit obvious. Images and beasts were too digital, you could start watching the movie in the middle of it and you wouldn't know if it is Harry Potter or How to train your dragon. Beasts were like avatar style, there was a lack of imagination and in some scenes the quality was not the best. It was too long, I was almost fall sleeping at some point. I was very disappointed, there were good actors on it.",3 "The idea is great but the final output is not. Too much James-Bond-a-like shooting and dummy car chasing scenes that won't do any good for taking the movie forward. You will just wait that the action(mindless shooting) stops and the movie will continue. Why they are dreaming skyscrapers, guns and soldiers instead of something more imaginative? The biggest problem is not that the story has some big holes. The movie is just boring most of the time. I hope we will not see Inception part II. Leonardo is not good choice for his role. Others do quite well. This movie will not give you any surprises.",4 "Brilliant. It's funny, entertaining and fast paced. All the actors have done a good job. Story is captivating. Can be easily watched more than once.",8 "We all know how good Christopher Nolan is, but this time he failed. How critics can overlook this is beyond me because it is not subjective. Objectively the film is missing essential tools of storytelling that are established for hundreds of years. Everyone who actually learned script writing would tell you the same. The movie is lacking two major things: 1. characters 2. conflict 1. The movie has NO characters. I don't mean thin ones I mean NO characters. We never even get names of the main protagonists. We get no backstory, no mannerisms, nothing. Another review said the film concentrates on the ""event"" Dunkirk rather than characters and on other filmmaking techniques. Even if that is the case and a conscious choice by Nolan you can't do that and expect people to be invested in your movie. It is like saying ""a film needed no story, visuals where more important"". You can't just ignore essential elements like story or characters. 2. The movie has no conflict. And I don't mean conflict as in allies against Germany which by the way is also not really there because you never really get to see the enemy in form of a person. I mean conflict in dialog. There is almost no dialog in the movie therefore no conflicting views that make interesting dialog which is mind boggling since Nolan is usually very good in exact that field. Since there are no characters in the movie just faces you never get invested. Nolan has been criticized in the past for his films being cold. This is the coldest one. That being said I am sure next time he will deliver again but I guarantee that in 10 years this is the movie from Nolan nobody will remember, because there is just nothing memorable in it. Even if you are that gifted you can't just ignore basic storytelling foundations.",7 "Cocktail is an excellent ""Bollywood"" film(sic), not for the purists however.An out-of-the-box concept about friendship and the love triangle. Saif Ali Khan is a pathological flirt, living in London, who comes up with the most-cheeky-lines ever. Diana Penty is a 'desi' girl who just lands at London in search of her supposed-to-be-husband(Randeep Hooda) and ends up being rescued by Deepika Padukone, the female alter- ego of Saif's character. Her character is portrayed as a party-goddess who is keen of short flings. The movie is about how the three coexist as friends/room mates and how a not-so-complicated love triangle evolves. The second half is a bit disappointing though, as sadness sets in, the story tends to weaken and the actors are not given much scope. Homi Adajania has vision and has proved again after Being Cyrus(2005) that he can turn script into cinema, hats off. Credit to Imtiaz Ali as well for writing another 'hatke' love story. Saif Ali Khan is an embodiment of his character, credit to Deepika Padukone for her outstanding role as Veronica. Diana Penty is a promising newcomer, with a very pretty face and economical acting skills, doing only what she was told to. She cries really well for a girl. The supporting cast of Boman Irani, Dimple Kapadia and Randeep Hooda are wonderful, flawless in their restricted roles.The music is upbeat. Go watch the movie if you enjoy Bollywood cinema. As a viewer, I loved it, but as a critic, I would go on to say that it is not a second time watch. The story could have been more stronger and less predictable towards the end. The casting being superb and the actors doing a good job overall, I would give Cocktail an eight!",8 "Loved every bit of it, left me wanting more! Loved the characters and their story.. waiting for season 2! Great buildup for the next season.",8 I. M a dog train and lover and emotional person rula Diya yrr love this movie please go and watch apnae dog se jakr gle logon Aisa MN kiya.please watch.,10 "I give John Wick a ""4"" because the music is very good! The music enhances a film that would otherwise simply be a UFC Fight Night for those fans who scream & growl for that sort of non-stop bone-crushing, blood-gushing, eyes-rolling-in-back-of-heads action. ""Step right up and get your Gore-fix!"" would be the Ringmaster's intro. If that's your thing, you'll love the movie, as many on here & other high-T aggressives rate it 7-8 or higher. However... If you prefer a more challenging intellectual twisting plot & cinematic engagement, then you can skip this until there is absolutely nothing else to do or watch on the theater/TV screen for an hour & 45-mins. Did I mention how great the music of the film is?",4 "In reality thou the heart of the series is less about the game and more about the protagonist Beth Harmon fighting substance abuse and her inner demons, she becomes her own biggest challenger. You get invested in her character right from the start, rooting for her. It is captivating seeing her grow from a kid to an awkward teenager to stunning beauty. Anya Taylor Joy is stunningly captivating in the lead. Also fascinating was the world of chess and the sixties era, some of the trivia we come across from the timeline is shocking. The sets and wardrobes really add to the charm of the times.",7 "The movie is a classic action movie with thousands of special effects. Probably too much action. It's a high budget movie, $150m and indeed the effects are magnificent. But nothing to say wow for. For sure they plan to make other 14 episodes?",7 "Action scenes were okay, storyline was cliche, acting was okay, dialogue between characters was quite bad especially the humour. In a nutshell, it's a very average but action packed movie hence why I gave it a 7 cos there's a lot of stuff that got blown up.",7 Saw this today and i was absouletely bored to tears from watching it. The songs were awful as well as the acting. Yeah I think the old 20th century musicals are way better then the 21st century ones. Hollywood has no imagination anymore....,1 "This show was one of the best Tv series i have ever seen. You could watch a combination of psychology and crime, thriller, drama,... It was just masterpiece. I was on the edge if my seat all the time. After nearly 10 years of the season 3 finally it would be really fascinating to see the show come back for season 4, don't you think? In this area of Hollywood in which you can't find a proper movie or show and that everything has gotten shallow. I think it could have been great to see some more show's like Hannibal. So for those who haven't watched Hannibal yet, i would suggest to see it as quickly as they can.",10 Somehow reached episode 5 but wilL stop here . This season is so bad . Ani is an annoying character and not needed in the show AT ALL ! This season doesn't make any sense .,4 "So many people hyping this show after one episode and trying to score it a 10. It's not that good. Decent yes, but far from a 10. There's a good half hour of nothing happening and I was bored by the end. Struggling to see how they are going to make a full series interesting and I fear they are just trying to milk it for all it's worth. I also predict this will be stretched out for numerous series getting worse and worse. There's only so much fun you can have in an apocalypse. In conclusion, I played the game and enjoyed it. This show, based on 1 episode is very authentic to it. Its not a bad show. I did enjoy it. It's just not the 10 that so many others are suggesting.",7 "The most fun I've had at the cinema in a long time. The jokes are meta and hilarious. The performances all through spectacular. This was like a fever dream and I can't wait to take all my friends to the cinema to watch this movie again and again. I did not expect to be so entertained but also shedding tears. A movie everyone should go and watch. And how beautiful that Billie Eilish song was! We will definitely hear it live next year at the Academy Awards, where I hope Greta and the whole team will get recognition for creating this (already) iconic film. Production design, script, directing, acting (especially Ryan bodied that role) and Best original song I would want to see awarded.",10 "This is an amazing story and despite straying from reality in several places it is still well worth the watch.. I am not going to comment on anything scientific but it holds true to the dire threat that this accident had and still has on Europe and especially the Ukraine. The story is a tad dark and rightly so , as it puts reality and politics at odds with each other. There are so many great actors in this series that to single out one would be an injustice to the others.. I have only one complaint and that is when a story purports to be true .. make it true, when will the social demand for adding or changing the story to satisfy someone's desire for pursuing their own agenda stop? There was no woman physicist .! I guess I don't like reality manipulation!!",9 "Garbage, absolutely garbage... I will not bother with episode 2... What a waste of time... Sack the one that approved this project. And why do the review need to be so long?",1 "You'd think M. Bay and R. Reynolds would be a combo of awesomeness..... but sadly it was trash. M. Bay has a history of random editing in his movies, this was worse. R.R. may be the only thing that made it worth watching at all. Avoid if you have other things to watch. If you are super super board with no options enjoy and don't put to much thought into it",1 "I onestly don't understand how could they mess this up so bad. The plot, the writing, the acting, everything is bad, sloppy. I couldn't even watch the last episode.",4 "I read a lot of good comments about it, but I just cannot agree with you guys, because it is boring!!!!! It goes slowly and the story is not interesting: two lonely people ""Fall in Love"" in a restaurant in another country. How convincing it would be? How lovely it could be? I don't buy it. I had hoped that this kind of movie would have some touching moment, or some interesting dialog. But I didn't see one. I voted it 4/10.",4 "I didn't laugh out loud much but Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston sell the jokes just fine. I was more impressed by the twistiness of the plot and the quality of the lead performances. Cinematography was impressive too. I was engaged throughout. If you like the work of Agatha Christie, it is a must-watch.",6 "Sharon, Sam, Bucky, Zemo, Ayo, Isiah and Val. At least these character what save this Season one which at least help me through until final episode. I would skip and fast forward anything about Flag Smasher because it is wrong focus like krik-krik-krikk I'm lost words. Its should had been better.

The story was good no doubt about that but directions were pretty bad that could be way better than that...",7 "I knew the movie would be good, judging from the first film, but not that good. This movie's perfect. Alfred Molina is perfect as Doctor Octopus, and Tobey Maguire did a great job as well. The computer graphics are also very good and it's just absolutely amazing how they made Doctor Octupus' tentacles come to life like that, especially in the awesome scenes like the scene where Spiderman and Doc Ock fight on a train. I was never really a Spiderman fan until this, even though the first movie was quite good. Judging from ""Spiderman 2"" I know ""Spiderman 3"" will be awesome, but probably not as good as ""Spiderman 2"", for me, this will always be one of the best if not the best movie I've ever seen. This movie is a must see and I recommend it to everyone, but watch the first movie first.",10 "I have never read or watched any kind of Stephen King's work before. Because of his type of writing doesn't draw my attention. Besides that, his face makes me scared. But when The Outsider Tv series goes viral I decided to watch it. Well, I can't say that I regret to start it but I must say that the story is going very slowly for me. In general, while I'm watching a new series I can't stop it until the end of the episode comes. I've just watched the 6th episode. But I can't decide should I continue to watch it or not.",7 "It was a real joy to watch Monica O My Darling. Sikandar Kher was absolutely incredible in it. With packed performances across the Board, Vasan Bala's Monica OMD is full of great scenes and interesting storylines. We have rewatched it 3 times. The Bollywood Pod (@thebollywoodpod) did an episode on it. Really fun watch. It would have been nice to see more AI and robot themed Moral quandaries as the poster made us expect, but it was more straight forward comedy thriller. Rajkummar Rao delivers another great performance showing once again that he is a very versatile actor. Some pleasant cameos in the film and a very nice soundtrack.",8 First two are great. Then everything falls apart.

Lots of self-indulgent ""me me me,"" whining. The music is horrible - like being trapped in a lift with a boy band for two hours. The best bit is where the bearded lady nearly knocks herself out with her own boobs when she starts dancing. Horrible and boring",2 "In the past I never cared much for Wanda and Vision. After watching them here, I can't wait to see what's next. Paul Bethany is great but Elizabeth Olsen really outdoes her self in this series. You can almost feel every step of grief Wanda goes through. The changing of eras between each episode, made it stay fresh. I love that Marvel is finally giving the supporting characters their time to shine.",7 "All the episodes are shot beautifully and very well acted....but my question is where is the damn Witcher in the series, he's like a guest star in the series named after him. This series should be named ""Yennefer the Witch""",6 "This is nearly as good as it gets in terms of a spy movie. Not much to say about it, except that its ratings are obviously way below this movie's real value. Watch it and decide yourself. There is zero chance you will not like it.

I did try my best be seated as long as I could.",4 "I was extremely and utterly disappointed and annoyed by ""The 40 Year Old Virgin"". There was not one joke in that movie that made me laugh. ""Knocked Up"" got some chuckles out of me, but it still wasn't the riot IMDb users and critics have made it out to be. With ""Superbad"" Apatow and Rogen finally deliver. It's all the more stunning since that story - three losers try to get laid before they go to collage - is as old as Catherine Zeta-Jones' husband. Still, the script is fresh and funny. Vulgar at some times but it never crosses the line to getting annoying. The actors are great (especially Rogen himself who shines as a member of an extremely idiotic cop team) and make the characters come alive. Like ""La Boum"", ""Animal House"", ""Ferris Bueller's Day Off"" or ""American Pie"" before it, ""Superbad"" is an instant classic for a new generation of young (and old) moviegoers.",7 "Just want to say this was a great show--for the first 3 seasons. Then it goes downhill in my opinion. The narration becomes too much (good stories SHOW, don't TELL), and the ""villain"" characters, who are kind of cute in the first 3 seasons, become more and more annoying.",7 "Had no idea what I was getting into, starts strangely right in the action then explains backwards how it got there before meandering towards the finish. It feels like a Tarantino movie, long scenes sometimes dialogue that goes nowhere, quirky characters. Just a bizarre movie really but very unique in ways. Also I don't know the history it is based on but seemed to tap into a lot of truth with freemasons with the 5 group, freemasons liking the number 5 for rituals, it's the interesting parts like that that really kept me going. Seeing so many talented actors doing their thing was great too. Felt like it really transported you to the era in a way that other films haven't. Parts felt Tarantino, parts felt Wes Anderson, parts felt Del Toro, just a weird blend of stuff. If you have a spare 2 hours there are much worse movies to watch, just hang in there because it is dialogue heavy and takes a long time to tie it up but overall was a satisfying ending.",8 "Way, way too much monotonous dialogue and way too little action. Hard to believe there will be a season 2 of this garbage. As an ardent fan of everything Marvel, this is terrible. Very little action and not terribly entertaining. Loki is the reason we've canceled Disney+.",3 "Best movie of 2018 in Tamil cinema. Awesome work by Christopher'Saravanan', Vishnu, Munishkanth, Ammu Abhirami, Amala Paul",10 "Like Avatar, we have with Inception paper-thin characterizations with groundbreaking special effects. Interestingly, both films concern consciousness while dreaming. Avatar held us to the false-choice premise between good and evil, and carried out its mission by making the bad guys completely unlikeable, and cowardly in many respects, while at the same time creating a magical Lion King-like symmetry that scratched some primal desire to start all over again, preferably in a jungle setting among American Indian-type lifestyle. Nothing complicated, and the simplicity held until the end. Inception, on the other hand, asks us to believe that Cobb (DiCaprio) cannot find any other way to get back to America except through the sheerest of cliffhangers which involves putting all his compatriots at risk, of whom only the newest and most ignorant seems to care about her own safety, which is also sacrificed for some unknown reason, as we are held by the filmmakers to also sacrifice ourselves to Cobb's pathos rather than to the caper itself. This is the main weakness of the film: that Cobb couldn't simply buy his way home, through the various means of the rich, such as private jets and private airports, which do not undergo immigration checks as we, the lower classes, must endure. That Saito had access to such wealth and transportation only adds to the heavy sighing one must yawn while being kidnapped through this terrible screenplay. Meanwhile, the altruistic Saito also grates on my nerves, as we are to believe this ruthless businessman is also so very generous in his offers, brave in joining them, and important to save. The wisecracking Brit had to little to impart except as a foil to the urbane Arthur, and Arthur honestly did not add much more. Michael Caine in a thankless role, and Ariadne, who was puffed up from the start as the next level of architect, is no more than an impulsive wide-eyed ingénue who does more to move the plot with her interference in personal issues than in her skills. There is little chemistry between the characters, as we are never given the chance to learn about them, which is the more amazing since this film is 140 minutes! The use of Mombasa as a location was gratuitous, and Saito's ability to get Cobb out of a jam at the last minute completely jumped the shark. The interaction of Cobb and Mal is without very much depth or pity, and therefore I felt little for their love or loss. Mal's suicide was unnecessary, her psychiatric ploy not within the realms of how things work in reality, and even the mind trick which Cobb says he planted in Mal's head is confusing and ultimately stupid. In fact, Mal's inability to distinguish, and the ease with which she dropped away, causes me to revile her for the shallowness of her understanding. I am to believe that after 50 years alone in a world of their own making that Mal cannot know what Cobb did even after he confesses? It made her insane? I should care? The effects in the film are mind-boggling. That's all I can say. Cinematic high. I can't say this film rates an 8.8 or even an 8, but the effects at least take it from trite 6 (including the James Bond ripoff ski scene) to a passable 7. Enjoy!",7 "Awesome series must say, adian is like mini SRK his acting is awesome... Thats just brilliant idea and concept and one more thing is netflix series know how to make viewers wait for next season...suspense in the last scene is great.",9 "I read all three books in The Discovery of Witches series and while Deborah Hawkness is a great story teller and historian, her writing is tedious and laborious. The screenplay adaptation of the TV series is excellent! The writers cut a lot of unnecessary fat out including characters and story lines not essential to the story arch. The writers, special effects, cinematography, lighting, costumes and editing was really great quality. It's not your average vampire, witch or demon story. It's a very passionate and intriguing tell of people with special gifts. It's my favorite vampire/witch story and by far much more complex and unique than other films/tv series with similar folklore.",7 "I am a Bangladeshi. When this movie announced to be made, our social media was full in gossip. Even before the realise date people were subscribing to netflix to watch. Now you show us that there was no trace of Bangladesh or Dhaka. Shameful enough.

It was not even made in Dhaka, so why use the name) Giving you 5 is just a curtsey which you Didn't give our country. Just 1 star should have given as you play with a nations emotion and their pride to being a Bangali.",5 "And yes, I did watch the whole thing. Maybe I thought it was a good idea in hindsight to view this, to see how the contemporary people make musicals. The answer: Borrow. Borrow cinematography from Vicente Minnelli (for people unaware of the name, he did Meet Me In St. Louis and An American In Paris), Mark Sandrich (he directed Top Hat, with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers), W. F. Munrau (he did Sunrise: A Song Of Two Humans), and so on. Borrow references from Ingrid Bergman films, especially Casablanca. Put posters of *slightly* more obscure Golden Age films on the walls (A Farewell To Arms but not the Rock Hudson one, Smilin' Through but not the Norma Shearer one, and so on). Borrow scenes from famous golden age films (Sunrise, Singin' In The Rain, Funny Face and so on), and have romantic dance numbers by moonlight à la Fred and Ginger. Yet have the songs sound the same as all the songs from every other musical released in the past twenty years. Cast two leads who cannot dance to save their lives (Fred and Ginger they ain't- they aren't even Fred Astaire and the non-dancing Joan Fontaine in A Damsel In Distress), sing off-key (but not enough that your average moviegoer will notice- but it's really, really, off-key), and aren't great, or even good, at acting. Ryan Gosling makes the same smug face for two hours. I get it's supposed to be an ODE to golden age cinema. But, to be honest, it made me uncomfortable watching this and knowing that nearly every scene I had seen in a film before, and done better on top of that. Did the director not have a single original idea in his head? Had the film been exceptionally well acted, sung, or danced, maybe I would have changed my view. We have musicals that are odes to golden age cinema. One is called Singin' In The Rain, which this film borrows heavily from. There are subtle references to golden age film, and then there's the ""Here's a romance movie set on a boat! Critics are calling it the Oscar winner of the year!"" ""It would be romantic, except you borrowed all the love scenes on boats from Letty Lynton, Love Affair and Now, Voyager."" ""What? You don't know those films! No one knows those films but me! And I borrowed from them in ode!"" ""...If you're going to borrow from Now, Voyager- why take put the cigarette scene? Isn't that the most famous part of the film?"" ""NO. SMOKING IS BAD. LET'S PUT IN ANOTHER CASABLANCA REFERENCE. WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS."" sort of films. In short, I tried to like it, but it just fell flat. In the first ten minutes. Also, I'm the same person who thinks Singin' In The Rain is overrated. I would gladly watch that film for hours, because I still enjoyed it a lot. Watch this film. Go ahead. Enjoy it. Then watch Top Hat (even just the dance numbers) and get back to me. Torch Song is a better musical than this film- and I wouldn't recommend Torch Song if someone pointing a gun at my head forced me to. Why do so many people like this film? Did we watch the same movie? It sucked! The whole thing was so clichéd it wasn't even funny. It wasn't even original, either.",1 "Every episode has about 35 random and forced use of the F word.

I hated every second of it.",1 "I actually stopped watching with the goldfish head, but I read some reviews that Season 2 was the best. So, I finished watching all. I especially loved the music.",9 "Same plot- again Hunt can't be trusted. Every time MIF saves the world and every time Hunt is a rogue agent. There comes a point where this plot becomes boring and irritating. The performance is stunning, absolutely good acting and lots of chase scenes but the plot is horrible and repetitive. This is one of my least favorite movies in the Mission Impossible franchise.",5 "The graphics are nice in this movie! I haven't seen a 3D movie in a while and I enjoyed that for about 15 minutes and then for some reason your brain sort of forgets the movie is in 3D. Only to be reminded 3 or 4 times, when something seems to enter your private space. There ends the positive part of this movie (but still worth a 3 out of 10!) So if you are more into visual effects than storyline, character development, originality and unpredictability (if that is a word) or any other part of story telling, than you should scale this 3 (out of 10) up to any value you like to give it. There is just nothing good to tell about the story... - It's a rip-off of other stories (and the wrong parts were ripped off) - The characters have AT LEAST 2 dimensions less than the image. - The dialogue they spewed was unimaginative (there doesn't seem to be any humour in 2154!) - I don't even understand the need for Avatars on that planet. The natives even speak perfect English most of the time (but only when it's convenient)... -The ending is clear the moment you see the beginning (even the way, it all 'develops' can be plotted out quite easily after seeing any new characters appear: He will fall in love with her- They are enemies now, but will become friends- They like each other, but will eventually become enemies - that person will live- that person will die- to win the hearts of the people he will do that- she will hate him-but love him... Or will they? Could there be an unhappy ending? (I will NOT contain spoilers in my verdict!) - The moral of the story (Yes, I spotted one!) is shuffed down your throat with such force, that a gag-reflex is unavoidable. I did get influenced by it though: I haven't killed/deported any wise blue monkeys since I saw the movie, even though I really love/ need/ want to get me some unobtainium (for some reason) - The movie tries to invoke emotions, but it's just not happening for me. Perhaps because all the characters are just unlikable. (Except perhaps for the evil (and thus rightly scarred (how else would we keep him apart from the good guys? Thanks Mr Cameron!)) military man.) I saw in another review somebody say: ""Now we are the aliens, for once!"" I really liked that notion! Too bad it was executed so terribly, that I didn't even see the movie like that. I was reminded too much of other stories, that this movie resembles (quite poorly). The natives looked too much like humans to overlook the (far too obvious) colonists vs natives allegory. (And if you happen to be an exo-biologist/geologist, don't watch this movie at all, unless you want to become VERY angry/disappointed!)",3 "Okay I just told my family to Watching The Lion King movie and there something missing The Storyline I cannot put my finger on it...oh yeah No emotion, no humor, no fighting screen........ Say What? Btw Check out beyonce music video on YouTube 😄😄",4 "Hello, Upon watching ""Barbie,"" directed by Greta Gerwig, I was immediately struck by the breathtaking visual spectacle the film offers. The vibrant universe and the ensemble cast, led by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, transported me through a range of emotions. Robbie, in particular, impressed me with her charisma and depth. The plot of the film, set in the Barbie Land where perfection is the norm, seemed to me a metaphor for our society's relentless need for perfection and the stigmas associated with imperfection. I felt the film raises pertinent questions about gender dynamics, societal norms, and the challenges faced by women, albeit sometimes a tad overtly. Many have lauded the technical aspects of the film, such as the genuine soundstage, impeccable costumes, and memorable musical numbers. However, what stood out the most to me is the film's commitment to pushing boundaries. While the marketing showcased the film as a whimsical take on the iconic doll, ""Barbie"" goes way beyond mere glitter. Like any film that tries to juggle societal commentary and entertainment, ""Barbie"" might not resonate with everyone. However, I view it as a brave attempt that defies norms, much like its main character. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. It's a film that deserves to be seen, if not for its visual splendor, then for its remarkable performances.",7 "Wowa, this movie is awesome!! Usually, I'm not that enthusiastic when it comes to comedies. I don't usually laugh at stupid jokes nor I'm easily entertained with comedy flicks. But this showed true potential so I decided to give it a shot. And boy it delivered! Superb acting, great script, excellent CGI and just full of laughs. I certainly deserves a spot at the top 10 movies of this year and probably in Top 10 or 20 of all time comedies. I'm not very familiar with the work of Stephen Chow, but I'm a fan now! See it. If you don't think it was worth the money then just don't bother seeing any other movie ... ever!",10 Is boring and I don't really care about the problems of sam's family,1 "I was expecting greatness after all the ratings, but it was just ok at best for me, there are certainly better anime out there.",6 "What a waste of time....seriously...it tries to tackle some very serious things in a funny way...but after half an hour all the fun feels old..repetitive...and overlong...the absurdity of life can be fun...but this movie tries to tackle them with cheesy old cliches The movies highly rated by critics these days are just like this...in order to be politically correct and to break new ground...they just end up inane , stupid and absurd... How on earth this movie has an 8+ rating on IMDB is beyond comprehension... Just watch Michael Gondry if u want similar mind bending plot but with a lot more fun and sense... Kind of wasted my 2 hour.just avoid.",2 "Unfortunately for me, I disliked this movie. I am not quite sure why. I heard good things about this movie and I wanted to like it so much. It rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. I knew a little bit about the dream information in this movie. That is my only theory on why I didn't like this movie. Anyways I usually like special effects movies and contrary to what I wrote, I hope you like it. One day I might watch it again... Maybe I will like it the second time around. I liked to think I have mature a bit and with it my taste for movies.",2 "A movie with so much critical acclaim, left me a bit disappointed after the credits rolled. Don't get me wrong, the movie has a lot of positives. Fantastic style and filmography transport you back in time to Hollywood in the 60s. The attention to detail and outstanding acting performances from the entire cast really made me want to love this film. However, the story told never really seemed to get going. It's a 2+ hour movie that, storywise, takes you nowhere. There's no real objective or payoff. Just aimless scene after aimless scene, some of which don't make much sense on why they were included. The movie succeeds in almost every way, except a compelling story.",5 "Obviously not on par with the Asian films when it comes to fight scenes, but dis is the best fight scenes I've ever seen from an American movie. Thumb up! The fight scenes in Winter Soldier is far better than all 3 expendables movies put together. Shame. With the exception of Zack Snyder and the Wachowskis, it seems no on else know how to do proper fight scenes in Hollywood. Folks watch Captain America The Winter Soldier and learn. The action is fast and crazy! Story and pacing is good as well. Plot and twist were kinda predictable, but still cool. Needed to end on a shocking note, the movie ended a little to ""cool"" and ""safe"" for my liking. Overall a very good movie, with a little more effort could of been a great one. Still highly recommended! *Action - 10/10 *Story - 7/10 *Acting - 8/10 *Effects - 8/10 Overall score for me. 8/10",8 "This movie has a good photography and not a bad story but it's the same content in previous war movies and nothing change except the characters and if this continues again in not a long time war movies become a low rate movie because for years war movies that are about WW reveal the same content as the previous ones and not a single change but the resolution got higher , 1917 has poor act and unbelievably low price war action for such a movie , the scene of running in the plain with many explosion around him was so unreal that I ignored the screen . try to make something different about WW not just war being horrible and big explosions . a movie like Schindler's list was about war but with different content.",1 "The Wolf Of Wall Street seems to be a story about a very smart man who cheats his way through the stock market, with a strong hint of mature and intellectual humor throughout the way. As he goes about his way, women take place in his life as well as bumps on his way to success. This is what the trailer depicts. In reality, the film was about a scumbag who has no morals whatsoever and a team of the same people that fake their way to get rich. The writers for this film must have been quite bored to come up with this ridiculous, dirty, 3 HOUR, waste of time movie. As for the director, (Marin Scorsese) the film had and odd feel the entire way through and transitions that just didn't work. The acting was fine for most of the characters, the two stars, DiCaprio & Hill did a decent enough job for themselves too. Admitting, there were some parts that were done well and some that were very humorous, it just wasn't enough to make the entire film worth while. Overall a terrible movie.",3 "Every detail of the production on this picture was amazing. Lighting, cinematography, dialogue, set, everything. Watch this movie until 5 minutes before the end and then STOP! Do that, and you'll have a better ending.",2 "This movie is a weak who done it, dressed up with bright ham fisted quirkiness. It's not entertaining or engaging. The problems start at the top. Daniel Craig was a decent gritty Bond but a charismatic eccentric sleuth he is not. The Blanc character doesn't work. The dodgy Southern accent, his haggard appearance with flamboyant clothes etc.. none of it gels. I think Craig was just cast to attract an audience. I actually correctly guessed the murder early in the movie. Monae should stick to singing too. Her acting is flat. The ideas are silly but not fun. Twins? Come one. It's quite long and clunky. I can see why this didn't get a theatrical release. Average joes would have hated it at the cinema. Critics should have their knives out for this movie instead of giving a free pass to positive reviews.",4 "I can totally understand now why Cavill had issue with the script. The show is basically unwatchable. Netflix would be wise to forgo 4th season. Season three is a cluster, storylines don't tie together. Action scenes seem like they are added as an afterthought. Make character that in no way match book or game material. It's as though Cavill is the Witcher and everyone else decide to join another show....director and writers should look at the expanse and game of thrones as to how sticking to source material makes the best content. Then see how later when it diverges, it grossly affect the product.",3 "Enjoyed this series but like many other reviews I found the storyline was slow, predictable, cliches to the brim & wonder if it needed to be a series rather than a movie. I mainly hung around to see the sets rather than the storyline. I didn't like the main character & was disappointed with the concept of her brilliance as a chess player throughout the series. Defs not feeling like its a 9 or 10 rating.",5 "Started out so strong and I loved the first season. Second season was not bad but not great either. Thinking maybe they coming back stronger on the third. Boy I was wrong. Don't get it. It's was fun when superheroes use their strength or what ever they are good at the wrong way. Someone is bound to use it the wrong way but pretend they are good. But third season it's just psychopathic. Just creepy. Of course it's political. Top dog can do whatever they want or you life goes down. This is not entertainment and I'm guessing it's the last season. I'm won't se it anyway. Another show that's starts good, getting people to like it just so they can politicise you. Haven't worked so far, when are they going to learn.",2 "Warning!, This review was written by a 14 year old me in 2019. The views reflected in the following review are not necessarily shared by me in the current. They're purely kept up because of nostalgia. Spielberg is back with a diffrent but iconic experience like I haven't never seen in a while, ready player one is a movie who despite all its characters and Easter eggs doesn't feel to messy, with iconic characters you will find under the way in the movie, some more easily identified-able than others. But sadly despite all of this, Ready player one has a lot of plot holes. And is a movie which when stepping back, and looking at. Becomes much less brilliant, where it just ends up feeling like Spielberg trying to replicate his glory days. So full of potential, but sadly flops for me.",6 "Felt like it was over in about 30 minutes. From eddie talking with cleetus to him becoming carnage and then fighting at the end. It all just happens too quickly and feels like we have very little of carnage being carnage. The film was rating 15 here in the uk, but there was really very little to justify this rating. The best thing about the film was banter between venom & eddie, and obviously the post-credit scene and what it means for the future of the franchise. I was super excited for woody harrelson to take on carnage because he did a great job in natural born killers but it seems like he was holding back a little or like i said he just didn't get enough screen time. This was likely a budgeting issue as im sure it cost millions just to show as much of carnage and venom as they did. All-in-all it's worth watching as a fan but i can't see this being one of those movies i'll come back to many times.",6 "When I saw the trailer for this film I could not wait for it to be released. On August 4th (the release date), I went to see it and was severely disappointed as it was not true to the original 1968 film. I found it was under budget, cheap and hard to follow in some parts. It was interesting, however, that the director put in some strange symbolism into the film, but this just made it more confusing as it just didn't make you follow the storyline. One thing that infuriated my were the actors. David Oyelowo (Jacobs) was definitely the weak-link in this film as he had a strange and unsuitable English accent that just did not suit the American country. Freida Pinto (Caroline) had the same deal as she had that annoying Cockney accent that just doesn't work in an American movie. Rupert Wyatt (the Director of ""Rise of the Planet of the Apes) has only ever directed three other movies before this and it really shows in this, what seems cheap and tacky, film. The storyline didn't develop properly and we all know what was going to happen anyway, hence the title ""RISE of the Planet of the Apes"". I believe that when they made this movie they took there own spin on the storyline a little bit, but then again added bits from the original description of how this all formed (Escape from the Planet of the Apes). Some of the dialog was good but the majority of it was corny and badly written. I am a hardcore Sci-Fi fan and I loved all of the original ""Planet of the Apes"" films (excluding the 2001 remake), but overall I think this movie could have done a lot better if it had a more experienced director (i.e. Steven Spielburge) and better actors. The writer should be sacked for life and never show his face again and the design artist should be congratulate for being able to stand all this horrible commotion. I rate this film 2/5. - Michael Radny",4 "So apparently I cannot use profanity in this review, so pray for me. Twenty four. WOW. Okay, first off, delete facebook and get yourself the complete series on DVD. Now that you have that, cancel all plans for the next 9 days. Proceed to live of a strict mountain dew, aderall, and potato chip diet. Poop only during the ""commercial breaks"" (when you hear the BOOP. BEEP. BOOP. BEEP.). Watch every episode and your life will be changed. If there was a way for me to submit a higher review for this show I would, but 10 is the highest number available. I should be rating it 24/10 (even the later half of season 6, I KNOW). TL;DR: Jack Bauer's gonna get you, so you better watch 24.",10 "I knew this was going to be good. I mean the trailer looked amazing and it's Henry Cavill. But I never imagined it to be this good. If you like Game of Thrones you will love this. It's everything the same plus more. It is just as violent with just as much nudity and profanity. But the story and music and cinematography are incredible and the actress who plays Ciri really steals the show. She is incredible. Netflix has another huge hit here, give it a go! This does not dissapoint. *Note I have only played the games and not read the books*",8 This show seems to be written by middle Middle-Schoolers. All it does is perpetuate suicide and awful morality. I wish this would even be a thing. ALSO EVERYONE THIS SHOW IS FEMINIST AND AGGRESSIVE AND HIRES ANYONE WHO HAS DONE ANYTHING WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL DRAMA.,1 "And the best Ashutosh Gowarikar movie. Yes Lagaan went places, both box office and awards wise but half of the film was a cricket match which has endless possibilities to display. This movie was the most difficult with plain storytelling, performances to captivate for 3 long hours. Great photography, sync sound tech, locales and AR rahman's beautiful music as well as background score just raise this movie over others. I have seen this multiple times and it still moves me. The water drinking scene is the most impactful and have yet to see another scene like that. Forget DDLJ, and other yashraj and johar films, this is the film which defines SRK and his acting! His acting gets elevated due in part by superior direction by Gowarikar and excellent acting from the supporting cast! SRK- Gayatri chemistry is subtle yet mesmerizing! Kishori Ballal is top notch! Great job Ashutosh Gowarikar!",10 "I see what the viewers who liked the film liked, and I see what the viewers who hated the film hated. It is a mess. Movies based on books are watched by two very different audiences - those who know the book and those who don't. I read and enjoyed the three Jason Matthews books. I adored the first one, loved the second one, and liked the third one. But this puts me in the group that sees everything in the movie as either from the book, or from left field. I also ""see"" everything that was in the book but WASN'T in the film, Casting - I'm so used to ""Hollywood"" using an international talent pool that I've run out of outrage when Englishmen play Russians and Australians play Americans. I'm over it. Language - (see Casting, above). Guess what? None of the accents are ever correct. And all the Russians speak English. Get over it. Plot - the carefully-constructed plots of at least 2 of the 3 books were put into a Blender and pureed together. The screenplay literally makes no sense. This will surely inflame all the book lovers, and some of the rest of the audience. Some deviations from the book are unimportant. Early in the book, Nate Nash transfers from the US Embassy in Moscow to the one in Helsinki. In the movie, he's brought back to Washington instead. That really doesn't make much difference to anything. On the other hand, the book makes clear that Dominika has had martial arts and espionage training in addition to ""whore school"". Leaving that out of the movie makes it unbelievable that she can kick so much butt. These are supposedly two highly-trained case officers trying to recruit agents (spies). She's looking for Nate, but he just stumbles on her. All the book's careful description of their attempts to suborn the other are left out, so here they just tell each other that they are intelligence operatives. On what planet would that happen? None of the Russian SVR Headquarters ""office politics"" make it into the movie, so it is puzzling that some of Egorova's colleagues are working against her. None of her inner feelings about her sexuality are explained, so her love scenes make no sense. None of her empathic powers are mentioned, so her intuitions make no sense. I could go on. To sum up: if you read the book, don't go to the movie - you'll hate it. If you didn't read the book, and if you normally pay little attention to screenplays, dialogues, character development and plotlines, go for it. ,",3 "Boy i must be very shallow because i found this film one of the most boring films ever! The trailer was pretty good but the movie...not so good..I saw it and i fell asleep,i first fell asleep when that van was falling...i woke up, i even saw a little dream but that van was still falling and i thought to my self..what the hell is happening here?Is this a dream or a nightmare?I see all that reviews saying what a masterpiece this film was..blah blah... and the rating??wow..someone is being generous..So my opinion for this is that if you have trouble sleeping hit this film,it will come so natural you won't know what hit you..I know i am a bad reviewer but this is the truth and nothing but the true in this case..SORRY my opinion",4 "The whole movie contains a good screenplay as well some tragedic scenes that boosts the movie, the whole cast crew done well.

The high body count got a little repetitive in the end, but I'd definitely recommend it, if you're up for mindless over the top high speed action!",6 "We are getting close to entertainment saturation. In the early years of motion picture, it took a train merely moving toward the camera to excite the audience, where murder, rape, torture, sex (Porn in some cases) barely excite the audience in this day and age. The studios need to excite the audience to perform at the box office and they are running out of ideas.",1 "Not just one of the best crime thrillers of the recent time but some of the best witting. The amount of linking and clues left in this film is insane.really apreciate the fact that it was a buddy cop thriller.tamil cinema needs more of these, last one being kuruthipunal. Technically it is a very sound film, cinematography was perfect setting the tone for the movie. Sound design can be said the same as well . Bgm though familiar was really effective in maintaining the thrill factor.the editing was simple and effective. Really outstanding movie ,was unpredictable till the end. Hope it gets a deserving sequel.",10 "I have never written a review before but all of these positive reviews have forced my hand. The first 2 episodes were dull, forced, boring, and unoriginal. This show would bomb and fail and fail and bomb if it didn't have MCU backing. I don't understand the 8.5/10 rating overall. It was supposed to be a comedy I'm assuming but I didn't even crack a smile.",1 "La La Land . . . what can I say about La La Land. First off, let me say that I love musicals (I can't wait to see Sing). I love music documentaries even if I don't like the artistes (yes Oasis, I'm looking at YOU) or even if I haven't heard of the band (Anvil: The Story of Anvil) and I adore films that feature great tracks such as Sing Street or films that feature tracks by the Rolling Stones or The Boss. But La La Land plummets to new depths of banality and superficiality. In fact the title sums it up ideally. The only time it perked up is towards the end. Gosling and Stone do well in their roles but they can do better. The singing and dancing is nothing special and should not be compared to the magical musicals starring the likes of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers etc I do not understand all the Oscar buzz, in fact if this wins the Best Film Oscar I will scream my little head off. Whiplash was wonderful but Damien Chazelle has not made a comparably decent follow up. In fact, the woefully underused J.K. Simmons should have thrown a cymbal at his head whilst screaming ""this is dragging"". 5/10",5 "Geralt is played perfect, triss and yennifer are played poorly. Overall the show is ok, too much forced diversity for eastern Slavic book series",6 "This Coen Brothers offering, one of their best, seems partially about two worlds juxtaposed. The setting is basically the cold and quiet places of the North Midwest. The people here are friendly, congenial, and basically trustworthy, very different from folk in cities in warm-weather climates. Darker urban-crime-like forces infiltrate these quaint and unassuming towns, roads and lakes. The main plot surrounds the hair-brained idea of a down-on-his-luck car salesman-manager in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Jerry Lundegaard played very convincingly by William Macy, to have his wife kidnapped. His wife's father is wealthy, and even owns the car dealership where he works. Lundegaard believes his father-in-law will put up $1 million as a ransom. However, Lundegaard will keep most of the money and give only a fraction to the kidnappers, as payment for services rendered. But, as it turns out, the two guys hired by Lundegaard, played with right-on-the-money deadpan by Peter Stormare and Steve Buscemi, are inept low-life incompetents who are about as professional at engaging in criminal services-for-higher as a Texan would be at ice fishing. They stop at motels and hire prostitutes without realizing they could be traced if anything goes wrong. Buscemi's character constantly shoots off his mouth, unconcerned that it might draw unneeded attention. And the ""silent"" mute-like partner, who has less lines than the Terminator, is gun crazy. From the get-go Lundegaard also doesn't have all the cards in the game of life. He's a rather sleazy car salesman, telling potential buyers an out-the-door price on the phone, then tries to gouge them for more money when they come in to buy the car. And he has somehow extorted $320,000 in car loan money from GMAC (the entity which finances many cars through dealerships) for erroneous sales of cars which don't actually exist. A rep from GMAC keeps calling him about the VIN numbers of the cars and Lundegaard had faxed him the numbers but purposefully made some of the numbers difficult to read. But it doesn't end there. Lundegaard gives the thugs a brand new car from his dealership which will be engaged in the plan, but he forgets to take off the dealer plates, use other license plates, and place tags on the plates. As car sales manager, you'd think he'd know better but Lundegaard is obviously not as quick witted as the thugs he hires. This error turns out to be crucial in determining how events unfold when at a turning point in the film, a local cop stops the thugs in the car because of its faulty tags. Thereafter, nothing goes as planned for Lundegaard, his wife, his father-in-law or the two thugs when Marge Gunderson, a detective from Brainert played by Frances McDormand in an academy-award winning performance, begins investigating the case. Fargo is a kind of urban meets rural noir. Unlike other urban noir by the likes of the Coen Brothers, Quinten Tarantino, and others, the pace of Fargo is more slow moving. We see panned shots of exteriors and interiors with references to the environments where these people reside. Long snow-clad fields, lakes, and trees. Paintings of loons and other wildlife adorn some of the interiors. The people are helpful but low-key, sometimes talking about a coming storm. In this beautiful white landscape, red blood stains the snow. One of the best films in the modern noir category.",10 "The dialogue method is traditional for action movies, but the directing and shooting method is excellent.",7 "24 takes us to a place that most shows dare to venture... Into the world of continuity. While many series will have a sense of continuation with each episode, rarely do we see it as acutely present than in this fabulous series. The cast is uniformly excellent. The story-lines are intriguing. And the direction is superb. Thought for sure it would be cancelled after the first season - most good shows are. Anyone ever watch Earth2?",10 "Well, this was at least something different. The Lighthouse surely is quite original and I understand if some people love the visual style and atmosphere. But also if some will find it unpleasant and too strange. What I first noticed is the picture aspect ratio. It's shaped like in old tv's, almost like a square. I found this detail both creative and annoying, feeling as if something is blocking the view. Also the characters and the setting made me feel uncomfortable, almost depressing in the beginning. I thought the whole film is going to be just a pain to watch. Then I started to enjoy a bit because the characters started to unfold a bit and the acting was so good. I loved the weird rants and monologues the characters occasionally threw against each other. That was the best aspect of the film. And Willem Dafoe is a perfect face for a bearded old sailor! (Perfectly creepy that is.) And of course the visual side was quite nice. The lighthouse in black and white gave quite eerie feel, and the directing camerawork was quite good. The weakest part was maybe the story. Is there a story? Does it mean anything? I didn't really understand the ending which was a bit disappointing. More than a traditional story the whole movie was more like an abstract series of scenes. I was also deceived a bit because I expected a horror film. Well, it can be vaguely put into the category of psychological horror/thriller but even that feels a bit stretch. I'd say it's just a weird artistic psychological (supernatural) drama or something. Not entirely my cup of tea but I some give credit for trying something wildly creative.",3 "This is not an actual review, it is just my point of view. Who am I to review an Oscar-winning movie? Read it and leave it as one of the things you saw on the internet. Nothing Nowhere individually Everything everywhere all at once is not good enough for an Oscar, I think. The movie sums up as a family drama with some essence of the Multiverse of madness and the Matrix. How odd it is to make a movie about a person who is lost in life and fighting with everyone because they are not able to figure out what they should do, and in the end, they do what everyone is telling that person to do. Just so normal.",2 "If you're a fan of the dark and macabre, you'll love this. Interesting characters and visually intriguing. It's a mixture of American Horror Story and Law & Order.",10 "The storyline is incoherent, jumbled, unclear, wishy-washy, meandering . . . . . . It has no tangible connection to Harry Potter and it appears to just be 'cashing-in' on HP's success. The wooden acting by Eddie Redmayne is truly awful: he looks continually pained, and mumbles endlessly making it even more difficult to follow the story's red-herring plot. The special effects are great . . . but nowadays all special effects are, so this film is nothing special. Complete garbage.",1 First if all. This series is based on a book. It follows the book about as well as a blind man follows a blind man. Why can't anyone make a movie or tv show based on the work of Steven King without ignoring the source material. This could have been great series but whoever wrote this seems to have only read the cliff note version of the book and then ignored most of that too.,3 "I dragged my gf to watch this film, and both of us left feeling a bit 'so what...' I can't critisise a film because they do great great marketing, but the Oscar nominations obviously mean something and I cannot see why the committee thinks so highly of it. I was thinking about films to compare it with and the nearest was Pretty Woman which is head and shoulders better. So why? The two leads showed very little chemistry between them, both of them seemingly only half-interested in life; drifting from scene to scene. The filming has a very studio-lot feel about it, slightly artificial and cartoonish. (I'm sure that's what they wanted, it just seemed weak.) And the music has virtually no memorable numbers. I so wanted to like this film, but...",4 "I really thought I was good at accents, but throughout the whole thing I became convinced that British people must call their superior women ""Mum"". I did start to psychoanalyse the British for Mommy issues. Until I find out hot Scotsmen say ""Ma'am"" this way. That aside, the series was great. Suspenseful, hot and had me hooked.",8 There's actually not a whole lot of story here - it moves slow - but it is watchable. They could have probably trimmed this whole story down to about 30 minutes. I love true stories and it is a worthwhile event - but it's just not that riveting of a movie.,5 "I mean seriously,this has to be in my top 5 worst movies of all time. I'm not giving anything away other than it is 2:38 minutes I'll never get back. The Acacdemy must have had slim pickings last year when they voted this best picture--- Eye's Wide Shut with Tom Cruise was a master piece compared to this piece of garbage. Take my word for it---do not waste your time.!!!!! If you have insomnia then I would recommend this. If you are depressed--avoid this it will only worsen your condition. I have seen a lot of movies in my 50 years on this planet & I would like to think that I have relatively decent taste along with a wide variety of likes & dis likes but this again is one of the worst movies ever. I would have finished this along time ago but I had to write a certain amount of lines. Sorry.",2 "'Hannibal' is one of the most breathtaking, incredible, smart shows I've had the pleasure of encountering. Nothing could be fully compared to its beauty and elegance. Every case is unusual, unique and chilling, and despite knowing who Hannibal Lecter is, he still manages to surprise you at every turn. The intelligence, the sharp mind he possess is frightening, and while what he does is horrific, from some point of view his actions can be understood. Don't people kill animals, hunt animals, make tests on animals, considering them lesser beings? Is it so surprising that one day another monster can appear, one that would target humans instead? Hannibal isn't a supernatural creature, he isn't even very strong physically, but he's cunning, clever and manipulative, and he's always ten steps ahead. Almost always – enter Will Graham. Will is a character who I personally consider even more interesting and complicated than Hannibal. Hannibal doesn't consider human lives important, he's a very dark, yet polite, murderer while Will doesn't understand which side he is on. There are darkness and light in him, fighting for dominance, and you can never be sure which one will win. His gift made him open and vulnerable to dark impulses that have already been developing inside. The meeting with Hannibal forever changed his life. The relationship between Hannibal and William is one of a kind, romantic in a morbid, fascinating way. Love and hatred, resentment and forgiveness keep them apart and then unite them – only to break them again. They can't live without each other, but it's also almost impossible for them to live together, because no matter how much Will understands and 'sees' Hannibal, his moral compass is strong. The constant psychological battle between them is fascinating to watch. The episodes constantly kept me on the edge, surprised and shocked me. I loved every season, every episode, even though they were different. Some were procedural, 'monsters of the week', some were purely psychological, especially in Season 3, some were continuation of the stories told. There is blood, and there are deaths, and cruelty, but the elegance of it all makes you fascinated rather than revolted. It's shown beautifully and 'politely', even the most horrible of things. This is the show that deserves worldwide recognition, though it's not for everyone, considering how lazy to understand and analyze a lot of people have gotten. Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen are unforgettable and fantastic. I could watch them, and 'Hannibal', forever.",10 "This movie wants to be John Wick meets Sicario, but it lacks a unique enough identity to make it work. This is one of the most clichéd, generic and unremarkable action movies I've seen in a while. Everything from its ugly, yellow-tinted cinematography to its horrible script, makes it almost indistinguishable from some direct-to-video action film that no one ever buys. It isn't all negative though. The action is, for the most part, pretty impressive. There's one sequence that is one long take and it's by far the best moment in the movie (if you can overlook the painfully obvious hidden cuts). Chris Hemsworth's performance is alright, but his character is not memorable or likeable. David Harbour shows up towards the middle and he's really good, but he's gone far too quickly. The kid that plays Hemsworth's rescue target is really not good. He's suposed to be scared for most of the movie, but he just looks confused. It's a bore and it sucks, which is a shame, because there could be a good movie buried in here, somewhere. It also kinda, sorta, maybe sets up a sequel? Which is wierd.",4 Movie was just interesting enough to keep me invested throughout the whole dry and depressing thing. The ending is a terrible cliffhanger and leaves more questions than answers. Not really worth the time spent watching it.,3 "I read all Harry Potter books, so I shouod in theory enjoy this movie, but I couldn't. I like the Grindelwald, and instead kf promising war like Voldemort, he promises peace, which makes his cause more appealing, but he doesn't get enough time to show us the reasons why he became an antagonist. We got a lot of unnecessary romantic scenes, especially with this character Jacob who is supposed to be the comic relief, but he is not funny at all. The beasts themselves are annoying, and the wizards do not hesitate creating havoc in the non magical world.",3 "BollyWood is the nickname of the Indian film Industry, largely centered in Bombay (now called Mumbai). It produces a steady stream of pisi-kaka every year. So much so that it is in Guiness book of World Records in some category. Most of BollyWood films are in that sense musicals because it has a lit of music and dance, and they are absurd (the song and dance sequence) but cleverly done. With that out of the way, I think the reader can figure out why I chose the above heading. If you have seen the movie, not sure why are you reading it (although I read reviews after I seen a movie to just check out what other people think) and if you have not, I would suggest you do go watch it. I have been meaning to ever since it came out and been postponing it because I wanted to be sufficiently depressed so that if the movie sucked, which it kinda did on many levels, then my day could not get any worse. And it did not. It is a strange movie. Almost like Seinfeld. A TV show about nothing. Although there is the loose connection with one's dreams, how dreams are almost difficult to pursue, bla-blah-blah and of course ends with the hackneyed cliché where boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl go separate ways and boy and girl meets 5 years later to think what could have been. Boring. So BollyWood. Emma Stone is not even pretty but she grows on you and looks cute in the middle. Gosling is in equal parts good looking, good actor and does a decent job. Neither his performance, nor Emma Stone's , or for that movie as a whole is nothing to write home about. So aptly (if I may use a symbolism) summarized in Emma Stone's (Mia's) phone call to her mother describing Sebastian, her new boyfriend ('he is not anyone yet'). There are hardly any other characters of any significance in the movie. The guy who plays Kevin, or Keith- besides perpetuating the cliché' 'White Boys Can't Jump' (You have to have Black People if you are talking Jazz), do not see what was his role in the movie. I hear he is some kind of a musician of some fame. My advice would be (not that he needs it, or cares) that do not give up your day job. Talk about 'Product placement'! Acting is ordinary, sets are great and THAT dance sequence (with the Canary Yellow Dress) which is plastered all over the promo material is really good. Besides that, not much. Why it is so much of a craze, I would not know. Why 14 nominations, who knows? I don't get to nominate. And frankly who cares besides the folks who made the movie? It does not deserve the 'hate' (did not even know it had hate till I stumbled along the boards), nor does it deserve 14 Oscar nomination or 7 Golden Globes (surpassing One Flew Over Cuckoo's Nest- seriously?). My wife watched the movie with her girl-friends on release day and described it as 'Magical'. I knew then I better not rush to watch it. It is a 'chick-flick' but with a sub- text. The queen of unrequited love is the man. How BollyWood! A solid 6.",6 Absolute garbage. Acting horrible. Humor horrible. Script horrible.,1 "After all of the comparisons with Bohemian Rapsody, I expected at least something remotely realistic and something regular people can relate to. What we got is basic idealistic love story which wouldn't even became popular if it wasnt for Gaga. 96% of this movie is stale romantic conversation and another 4% is actual plot that you can put in 1 sentence. Gave it 2 stars because acting was okay.",2 I give the first three seasons an amazing 10/10 but halfway through season four and I want to stop watching! Netflix needs to stop injecting its political leanings into everything they produce!,5 "Season1: it was a cute little show, not something that i would remember, but it's alright I had fun watching it season2: pointless, the show could've ended in season 1, so much fillers, unnecessary stuff added to the story, it's not good and i hope they stop here season3: HORRIBLE, ABSOLUTLY HORRIBLE, so much cringe and the new character is the worst charecter ive ever seen, they ruined an-alright- show season 3 was absolutely painful to watch season4:at this point i didn't even bother watching it, i tried watching the first episode but themoment i saw the new black girl i said screw it but i heard that it's even worse than season 3.",4 "Considering the man behind the helm is the multi-Oscar nominated David O. Russell, the cast is one of the most star-studded seen in the last few years and that there's a budget at play here in the vicinity of $60 million dollars, you'd be right in thinking that the (very loosely) based on a true story Amsterdam was likely to be one of the film events of the year, as well as a major player at the upcoming awards circuit. Proving once more that that expected shouldn't always be expected, Amsterdam finds the controversial Russell return to the big screen for the first time since his Jennifer Lawrence starring Joy came and went in 2015 and when you judge this new period set dramedy against the likes of Russell's biggest (if overrated) hits that were the one-two double header of Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, Amsterdam feels like a much more haphazard affair, that may have prestigious production values and a talent filled cast but can't make us care for what should be a thrilling and darkly funny ride of who did what and why. It's hard to pinpoint an exact reason for why Amsterdam just never clicks the way in which it should but as it stands the film feels like a Coen Brothers-lite affair that was in major need of a script overhaul, with Russell too blame for a script that doesn't give its characters or the incidents they find themselves in the time or material to shine the way in which it might just have done had the stars aligned, with so much of Amsterdam's happenings feeling like nothing more than passing moments, not engaging content that Russell must have thought it was. There's no point denying that some of Amsterdam works, it's lavishly filmed and the likes of Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and an on-song Robert De Niro all try their best to enliven proceedings that far too often get caught up in subplots and exposition that don't feel as though they're adding a great deal of importance to the main case at hand involving a murdered veteran and some major conspiracies, that perhaps didn't need 134 minutes to sort out. Full of kooky characters and bizarre situations that undoubtedly would've screamed a good time when they were being conjured up in the conception stage, so much of Amsterdam falls flat with a tiny proportion of jokes landing, characters becoming engaging and the lacklustre chemistry and romance narrative involving Robbie's Valerie and John David Washington's Harold glaringly unsatisfactory components of a film that promised so much more than it delivered, without ever being a complete write-off. In amongst these issues Washington's dry and dull performance is another noteworthy bland turn from the proposed leading man, who outside of Tenet has really failed to justify any reason why he should be landing these type of high-profile roles and when you can't make sparks happen with the likes of Bale, Robbie or De Niro by your side, it's unlikely you're cut out to be considered a performer who should be having Hollywood fight for your services. Final Say - In some other universe Amsterdam might just have been the film it wanted to be but as it stands right here and now, David O. Russell's star-filled experience is nothing more than a distracting diversion that could have been so much more. 2 1/2 glass eyes out of 5. Jordan and Eddie (The Movie Guys)",5 "I love all the tie ins from the Conjuring series and Vera and Patrick are the saving features, but ever since The Nun, for whatever reason, this series has relied on fog for fear. Made more sense in The Nun outside in a graveyard, less so in a subburban split level house where all the random fog looks like a smokers paradise. If they took that out an extremely unnecessary werewolf (were they trying to add in either Twilight or Harry Potter charm?) it would at least be 8/10. Surprised they didn't even have a B level critic flag some cliches before go to market. At least ""Bob's Got Balls"" was the unintended hero. Either way, I'll watch and continue to enjoy.",6 "I didn't think I would like Hannibal as I'm not a fan of Silence of the Lambs or Anthony Hopkins, but Mads Mikelsen is incredible as is Hugh Dancy and the rest of the cast. But Mads just makes Hannibal the cannibal alot more sinister and scary, his culinary skills in this is first class. A visual masterpiece with brilliant dialogue that draws you in and the crescendo always goes beyond expectations. It's deliciously good. After watching all 3 seasons I need a moment to digest what happened, knowing that this amazing series was cancelled which is a sad loss to TV. As good or if not better than Dexter and Dexter has always been a firm favourite. Also hats off to Richard Armitage for his fantastic portrayal of the Red Dragon. I can sum this series up in 2 words. BLOODY DELICIOUS 😀 pun intended. So go watch it.",10 "Fantastic Beasts was good, not great. As I watched it I felt like time was passing slowly. It wasn't exactly boring but it wasn't super exciting... until the end hit and man that packed a sucker punch and it definitely set up the final movie in this trilogy. This movie had one of the biggest plot twists I have ever experienced in moviegoing. Not what you may have wanted but definitely what you needed.",7 "James Spader gives an excellent performance. Much of the communication in the film is through body language, particularly the eyes. The intensity with which Spader looks into the eyes of the other actors shows how the integrity of his character contrasts with the phoniness of the character played by Peter Gallagher. I particularly like the effect created by an absence of a soundtrack. Low-budget filmmaking at its finest.",10 "Kung Fu panda 2 is one of the best film sequels of all time IMO. It took everything that made the first one great and made it better.The story line is more emotional, the villain was much better, the music was better, the furious five had more lines and development especially tigress. The animation is more crisped and it looks great! Every animal has a unique design and the fur detail especially is awesome! Every character in this film is better for example PO is more confident then before and is more wise while still being hilarious. Tigress is more likable and bad-ass here as well as having more personalty. The villain lord Shen voiced by Gary Oldmen did such a great job in making him believable. Lord Shen is way better then Tai lung since he more bad ass, more developed, had more screen time and did something horrible to PO which i won't spoil.Mr ping is more loving and kind here then he was in the first film (even tho I still found him likable in the first one) The films comedy is just as hilarious as it was before but I found the first film to be a bit more funny. The voice acting is better here to and displays more emotion then before. The pacing is very fast but that makes it more entertaining in my opinion and it never feels slow. The film is rather short too but then again a lot of kids movies are short so I can kind of understand why. The only down side to the film is Shifu being a minor character, but then again I think it helped the film in a way because it gave the furious five a chance to shine and somebody has to protect the valley of peace! not to mention he was in the climax which was epic! Overall Kung Fu Panda 2 is epic, emotional, beautiful, heartwarming, dark, hilarious and is worth checking out if you are a fan of the first film.",9 "I found a largely self-indulgent piece cinema. I felt utterly uninvolved with any of the characters. In short, I was bored. I almost walked out, but I kept hoping it'd get better.",4 "Stunned when I watched this sh*t. 1. Jeff Goldblum: Dear Jeff Goldblum - could you STOP. I've watched you acting (and really well) in 'Mister Frost' and (with jaws agape in) the Oscar-worthy but sadly neglected 'Adam Resurrected' - but since Adam Resurrected you haven't done a single original character movie. You are your own stereotype - unfortunately, it's the stereotypical Hollywood bullshit 'Well, I have my money, so I'll put in the least effort.' model. Kindly F*ck Off from our screens till ya can be bothered again. And Please don't get me started on your 'Jurassic Park' or 'Independence Day' - repeats of the your idea of a dithering 'genius'. 2. Direction: Just who or more precisely, what was this Movie aimed at? Sociopaths? Yes, We'd all show no emotion when our parents die, when friends we'd fought beside for thousands of years were wiped out. When our entire culture and civilisation were brought to ruin. Of course, this might reflect the entire 'stoic' repertoire of the actors... who knows - it's not like the writers gave them much manoeuvrability. (NOTE: Shoot Writers) 3. Timeline: You established that time within the 'Universes Dump' was far out of sync with the 'Normal' universe - a day in the 'dump' could mean hundreds of months or years in the 'Real' universe - so how come he arrives at Asgard just a couple of months into Hellas' reign? Lucky, I Guess. 4. Cheap Toilet Humour: Well, ya missed a few shots here gents... ya didn't mention the word 'Cock' or 'Pussy' or 'Fart' - sure ya tried but couldn't quite fit them in - plus, ya missed references to the Anus... no, no I stand corrected - ya managed to get that particular US Fetish in. 5. I'm gonna end this review here... cos I just can't be bothered with the other sixteen points - like the Directors, Producers, Actor and, of course, the f*ckwits you call writers.",2 "Peter (Jason Segel, who also wrote this gem) is a composer of television theme songs. His longtime girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) is the star of a crime show that sports his musical compositions. But, horror of horrors, Sarah stuns Peter by breaking up with him and moving out. Since Peter was completely in love with Sarah, who did little things like buy him a tupperware container to keep his cereal from getting stale, his heartache is acute. Needing a change, Peter decides to head for Hawaii and clear his head. Yet, when he arrives at a posh hotel and is greeted by a lovely hotel employee, Rachel (Mila Kunis), Pete soon discovers that Sarah is also a guest, along with her new love interest, Brit musician Aldous Snow (Russell Brand)! Now, how in the heck is Peter supposed to ""get over"" Sarah when he meets her everywhere, in the restaurants or on the beaches? Trying hard, Peter takes up surfing with a local stonehead (Paul Rudd) and even works himself into a few dates with the lovely Rachel. But, will his heart heal? Forget about the typical romcom rules and just enjoy this ""male"" take on the ups and downs of love. Segel should receive much praise for not only starring in this comic winner but writing it as well. Bell is great as the ambitious blonde beauty who is not as empty headed as one might believe and Kunis, with her huge, beautiful eyes, does a fine job as a possible new hearthrob for Peter. Rudd is a hoot as the 24/7 stoner while Brand is likewise hysterical as the full-of-himself rock star. The rest of the cast, including Jonah Hill and Bill Hader, is quite nice as well. As for the Hawaiian setting, it is beautiful to the maximum and worth the ticket or rental price alone. Add on great costumes, amenities, and direction and you have a polished film indeed. The writing is very funny, such as the scene where Peter signs up to help with a luau, not realizing he will asked to ""kill"" the poor pig. However, one caveat is that if you are in search of good, clean fun, this one is not the film for you, as it has many risqué, sexually charged scenes & themes. Nevertheless, for couples on the lookout for a flick to please both genders, here is a terrific choice, for it has plenty of raunchy humor and wistful romance at the same incredible time.",8 "I watched this as a big fan of books and games too, and overall I liked it, it's a fun program and true to its original material, but there is also a lot of wasted potential and clear technical limitations, The CGI and visual / special effects. need a lot of improvement, the storytelling doesn't really work all the time and some characters are poorly developed, plus some bad casting choices that are made here, but overall it's a really nice show with great performance from Henry Cavill and Good scenarios and fight sequences, the soundtrack is also amazing. Anyway, this program really needs (and can) gets a lot better, because I'm not sure if keeping this formula in the coming seasons will work well.",1 Movie like great masterpiece fabulous must watch Nagraj manjule next level director sairat and fandry blockbuster movies of nagraj manjule marathi movie famous director another one jhund touching to my heart this movie starcast akash thosar rinku rajguru good acting i recommended this movie watch everyone.,10 "The trailer showed promise and whiplash looked like it was going to be a great movie. However, I left the movie feeling as though it was incomplete. The film failed to make me connect on an emotional level with main character Andrew and therefore, left me feeling like an awkward fly on the wall during most scenes. The film also seemed to glorify the idea of putting yourself through physical and emotional abuse in order to attain approval from those above you. There was no moment of liberation or growth from the main character and likewise there was no moment of realisation or acknowledgement of wrongdoing from the villain. Overall it felt like an incomplete film that almost condoned abuse if it leads to approval.",5 "With all due respect to a very fine cast, and some strong production values, this is 3 hours of story stretched over 7 hours.",7 "Perhaps genius and neuropathy are only separated by a line. In many cases, the boundaries between them are not very clear, and schizophrenia like ""a beautiful eve"" is in most cases the patent of a person with a high IQ. Movies need dramatic contradictions and conflicts, and a contradictory personality is undoubtedly a good material. For a long time, both movies and TV shows have created a series of similar images to satisfy the audience's voyeuristic desire for the group of highly intelligent businessmen. But there is no doubt that geniuses are also people, and their human emotions also need to be satisfied. Therefore, most of this type of film will return to human nature after touting genius, and eventually realize the universal significance of the film on its redemption road. ""A beautiful eve"" can also be regarded as a discussion of fame and fortune to a certain extent. The opening remark is a heated text in the style of ""Youth China"", so that the future of each motherland present feels that if it has not been opened before death It's shameful to pass. This kind of strong utilitarian suggestion has to say that it has deeply influenced Nash's life trajectory to a great extent, making him eager to become famous, and he is willing to do everything he can, as long as this society affirms him. William Parcher is such an existence. He appeared at a time when Nash was not willing to be kicked by the Pentagon. He made Nash feel valued and met Bole. From then on, he could go straight. This VIP-style treatment undoubtedly excites him and allows his vanity to be unprecedentedly satisfied, although this can also be attributed to the failure of his relationship. So whether he was in school or taking medicine, what he was most afraid of was his wise eyes ""blindness"". This taste is like interrupting the legs of a sportsman. The basics. When you are alive, walking on the road, you are an ordinary person, not an academic elite, not a genius. You live a life as ordinary as others, and you must learn to respect life. The true enemy of genius is genius, the opponent of idiot is idiot, and the person you never want to defeat is actually yourself. You never want to be perfunctory about life.",7 This movie while realistic has only a drab feeling of war war what is it good for. I don't feel much is done here except to confirm that humans are dumb and seem to repeat mistakes over and over. I am very used to this so going to a movie to confirm it is redundant.,3 "You know it was a good series when you finished all seasons and you liked the characters so much you instantly look the main actors up on the internet to see if they are all doing fine. It really was great and i´m sad the series is over",8 "A 3 hours Marvel film with 2.5 hours of drama, 15 mins of actions and 15 mins of something else.. seriously? Their logic didn't make any sense. Besides, what they did to Thor was brutal.",3 "One of the most overrated shows. Season 1 was really good and after that just series of already explored themes and generally bad writing. Expected much more based on the comments and reviews, but left REALLY disappointed. Three stars just because of the first season, if I ignored it, it would be a solid 1. Shame...",3 "Easily the strongest movie sequel ever. The acting, writing, and score are done as well as it can get. Al Pacino delivered a performance of a lifetime yet didn't receive an Oscar. What this sequel does well is it's in perfect continuity with the first movie, yet it creates it's own story that fascinates the audience. And it provides the necessary backstory for Vito and the Corleone family which is perfectly paralleled with Michael's storyline in present times.",10 "It is difficult to not borrow or even coincidentally borrow plots and perhaps lines from other movies. Intended or not, there is no way James Cameron knew not of Dancing with the Wolves, or Pocahontas. (he probably doesn't know about Ferngully and I'd argue with The last Samurai)No movie should constantly remind you of a different movie unless it is a remake. And Avatar, reminded me of 4 movies off the top of my head continuously while watching the film. The movie is not even cinematically great, not once was I amazed by the cinematic nor the high quality technology that went into creating the movie. The plot had too many blatant holes and actors were mediocre at best. If you have never seen the four movies I listed above, go see it, I'm sure you'll like it, but if you've seen couple of these movies, the story plots are essentially the same.",2 "A true modern shoot em up. Lots of gunfire, lots of heroics, lots of solid action sequence, and some good old drama.",6 "Meh... not scary. I liked the other films in the series, this was boring. Its another Hollywood female focused film... The only male character is named ""Bob got balls"". Snore",2 "This is disappointing compared to the first Spider-Man (with Tobey Maguire) which I thought was an amazing superhero movie... but it's still a fine movie and leaps better than Spider-Man 3, which I really hated. Worth watching for sure but don't expect it to match or really even come close to the first movie.",4 I'm afraid I fell for the hype on this one. Proof yet again that a film cannot survive on special effects and flashy direction alone The Matrix died within an hour. The scenes that relied on neither of these (ie the scenes where the characters had to TALK to each other) were very boring and exposed the film's complete lack of emotional core. The characters are shallow and artificial and you don't care what happens to any of them. Reeves' acting is as bad as ever. It clearly has pretensions to being an 'intelligent' movie - lots of scientific and philosophical references in the script but it's just name dropping (or idea dropping). A miserable experience.,2 "I hear some people call it fair adaptation, it has closer story to the books. Showrunner also said that season 2 is going to be based more on books than season 1. Story AND world itself will be the same dark and interesting, will have many brilliant dialogues and all of it seasoned in well thought fantasy magic world of the witcher. Without further ado - none of that was delivered as promised. Season 2 showed us mediocre world that might be just as good as nonwitcher not just because it lacks a lot of details which made it THE witcher, it also lost it's soul and on top of that there's also a feeling which I had in GOT season 8 - something went terribly wrong in the most important aspect of what made the witcher one of the best fantasy of the world - it's not made to be liked, it's not made to be interesting and flashy. It just shows hard, cruel world, full of hungry creatures and even more flesh hungry men with carrousel of political affairs and in the same time showing the basics of life. And that's why we loved it from the beginning. Netflix did it's best to release interesting fantasy world and it is, to some point. Sadly, it's not the witcher anymore. And one more thing from one consumer to another - it's just morally weird to wave on the popularity of brilliant games and even better books, making promises that the show's lore will match books and then make something like that. It's just disappointing.",5 "It a good taste to old history and gang war, but the movie is really slow paced and too much long than it should have been. The movie in my opinion has so much unnecessary detail. He kills him and he dont likes him and he kills him, if you are willing to waste your 3.5 hours over it. Good luck with that. A movie like this could have been enough for 1.5 hours but they just had to grind it to 2 hours more. Also sometimes you feel that movie is not going anywhere ,like movie has lost its track of any specific story or something. And if you ask the person to tell you all what happend in the movie, i bet no one can/",3 "If it's supposed to be a comedy, I didn't laugh once. I found a lot of the humour inane. I think the younger generations will find this funny as they have had less experience of learning about WW2 at school etc. so will not be so aware of the atrocities that took place, that they are now finding so entertaining in the film. I found most of the film distasteful although I will admit that some of the more serious parts were quite well acted. Overall I was disappointed that such a light hearted film could be made from such a serious topic.",3 This movie was an absolute cluster. I am dumbfounded that this saw a release & I'm truly at a loss for words ha- not sure what else to say. Shocked there's as many positive reviews as I've seen so far. It started to make more sense once I remembered Sam Raimi directed. Lord help us.,2 "It's the computer screen of David Kim (John Cho) over the years. It documents his life with his loving wife and adorable daughter Margot. They are devastated by the death of his wife. Margot is 16 and there is growing distance between them. When she goes missing, police detective Vick (Debra Messing) investigates. The computer screen gimmick works for the most part in this movie. The introduction of David's life is touching and his harrowing search for his daughter is very consuming. The movie loses me for awhile when there is an obvious deception which is glossed over. The issue nagged at me and nagged at me even while the investigation goes on. The investigation becomes meaningless until the issue gets re-examined. By that time, the movie rushes to finish and it can't do it with an action sequence like a normal thriller. This is the best example of the computer screen movie but it is still constrained by the concept.",6 This movie was pretty good there were some scenes in the movie that did not add up but overall it was good. It did not meet my expectations but it was still better than a recent movie that came out. I cannot talk too much about it as it will ruin the story-line for many people. The acting of each character was amazing but the story line had its flaws. I did not know who's side to choose iron man or captain America I was quite confused. Captain Ameriica and Iron Man were the ones who stole the spotlight and made this movie amazing. This movie was a fun action packed movie and I highly recommend it but there were little errors in the story line. But overall loved it.,7 "What started great in S1 leaves me irritaed in S2. Did they change the writers? Did they change the directors? What happened? Example: Eleven has never been outside of the town ever. She can barely talk properly. But all it needs for her is to take a look at the photo and *boom* she's sitting in a night-bus to Illionis to find her ""sister"". How did she recognize Illinois if she's never been there at all? Really? At least try ... Now we get to watch almost completely storyline-disconnected 2 episodes of Eleven and her sister, which after 2 episodes dissapear and did not contribute anything at all to the story. The whole S2 feels like they decided to develop the characters a bit more after the finished filming. They cut two or three episodes out and simply put some new in. Almost nothing happens in E1-E5. Should have stayed that way and keep more mystery. But no, after E6 they decide to go full Michael Bay ... After E6 I just wanted to end the torture, finish the series and forget about it. It's a shame what happend to a good series.",4 Please let it be more seasons then 3. I can eait for season 3.,10 The first two episodes fail to be intriguing and the satire on 20th century sitcoms just brings back laugh tracks. I wonder where the 25 mil per episode went?,1 "Even as far as Hollywood films go, this plot is for the birds. Yeah yeah, I know.. it's Sci-Fi, but it still amazes me the way some people drool and applaud rancid pablum like this. All they need is some over-rated FX, one over-rated actor, and the dumbest storyline of all time, and you have people lining up at the door, barking for more. There is good Sci-Fi, and there is bad Sci-Fi. This film definitely falls into the latter. For all of you yahoo's eagerly awaiting the sequel, try something new, read a book. (If you can read)",3 "This show is on another level of story telling. The original manga is amazing and the adaptation is breath taking. The story is fairly simple to follow and is filled with constant plot twists which make the story all the more interesting while entwining unique developments of depth and detail to the setting and characters. The characters lack a bit of development, but who needs development here? The show isn't about psychology. It's an Action Thriller and it does it's job extremely well. The main characters all have strong foundations for their motives and relationships are well established in the series. Lines are drawn and boundaries are crossed in this series. It's an excellent feat of story telling. What makes this show click though is it's rare ability to entangle the viewer in the universe of the characters. When I watched the show for the first time, the first thing that struck me was the painfully realistic approach at which the creators involve us in the story. It's a clean style of story telling that's simple to follow. It isn't a mystery show. It's a thriller like I stated. I also have to give credit to the visuals and music. The animation is absolutely stunning in Attack on Titan and the music just enhances the glory and epic vibe of the show. I'm serious, some of the moments made my balls drop.",9 "The movie has very beautiful camera filming (nice pictures and music). Special effects is also good. The storyline is simple. A team of two deliver message to frontline to call off an attack in order to save life. The movie pace is kind of slow, but filled with intense. It depicts the war is cruel like meat grinder and soldiers are missing home and loved ones.",7 "Matthew M mumbles and mumbles. No idea what he's on about. MM is miscast. We need someone who is audible and attractive. It's dusty but the dust doesn't settle on the corn. (No dust cloud follows the pick-up as they plough through the cornfield, chasing a drone.) This is a totally unexplained encounter. The family are so busy watching the drone that they nearly drive over a cliff even though they are on their own land. Perhaps because they are driving the pickup blind, yet fast enough to keep up with a jet-powered drone. Hello??? No intelligible explanation for how MM landed the drone, what he found in it, how a groovy pile of dust helped him find the space station nor why they hired him to fly the mission. Why should Michael Caine be the NASA project director - he is hardly an obvious rocket scientist! Why such a bizarre robot? And did it wake them all up before the worm hole - or did I miss how that was to happen in the mumbles. Lo and behold - despite having travelled for months to the wormhole end near Saturn, they find themselves right beside a suitable planet at the other end. But I guess that was the work of ""them"". It is key to the plot, but there is no scientific concept that would make 1 hour on a planet into 7 years. And how come the open sea is paddle-able and a vast tsunami appears? Despite the size of the waves all is immediately calm and they seem to be predictable stuck. Some equally improbable idea was going to solve this problem but I'd lost interest. It is the moment I walked out. The movie to that point was uninteresting, and wholly illogical. I really thought with all the hype, it would be compelling, Instead it was plain irritating. Anne Hathaway was okay. At least we could hear what she was saying! And we could hear everyone else for that matter. Poor miscast good ol' boy Matthew. I have now read the Wikipedia synopsis, which is likewise unintelligible, and am hugely glad that I left - even though I have wasted one hour of the two hours I saved by writing this review!",1 "This is a decent action movie, but don't expect much more. Just so so.",4 We can forgive all the crafted hype but not the thing they do with Evan Peters...,1 "I have to say that this show really touched me and I ""enjoyed"" watching it as in I cared what happened to the characters. But I also think that it definitely isn't helping people who struggle with issues addressed in this show. I felt like it was just a little bit too dramatic to be realistic. It's a great show if you watch it just for entertainment but if you really expect anything more from it, then it will let you down. After all it's still a commercial product.",7 "I've always been fond of the stuck in a time loop plot, and I'm a big fan of dark comedy. But the lead actress (among other characters) is too unlikable for me to care what happens beyond the first episode..(ironically, she was also obnoxious in Freeway 2, couldn't finish watching) And she's a bad actress to boot. Most of the dialog is poorly written and not funny. I won't question the authenticity of the good reviews. I imagine there are people who are easily entertained and really enjoyed this series. I'm just not one of them.",1 "Bradley Cooper's voice (speaking), is the only thing that shines in this mundane, self righteous, farce of a movie. Yes, Lady Gaga can sing, exceptionally well, but so what? Where's the substance?? Is this just a vehicle for her singing?? I doubt she needs it!! She catches Cooper' eye, and ear, and they enter an unbalanced, while paradoxically, also symbiotic, eventually toxic relationship. He wants her to retain any initial integrity she has, but she persues success fully accepting of the sellout culture that it can be. The two love each other, but clearly for different reasons, and it just becomes pitiful to watch. The message is; who the hell knows!?? Pointless! I like Cooper and Gaga, but come on... extreme self love is extremely crass.",3 "The movie might be over 3 hours long but there is never a dull moment. The first half of the movie starts on a light note but you can feel the simmered excitement lying beneath. Picks up pace after the intermission. It shows the transformation of Milkha Singh the underdog to Milkha Singh the champion. The background music fits superbly with the mood of the film. Can only say I was thoroughly spell-bounded. This movie is going to give running in India a boost. Hope more such movies are made in India which have some content, a emotional connect and give some life lessons but at the end you leave the hall on a high. Gem of a movie in a season of crappy mindless comedies.",10 "I've watched the entire series three times through now. First as a kid as it was coming out, again around 20, and now at 27. Honestly, I appreciate it more every time I watch. For sure one of the greatest children's shows of all time. One of my favorite shows in general. Highly recommend.",10 Tbh this show is really overrated. There are many other shows which are way better than this but they don't get much recognition. Definitely this show is good but it's not as good as people tell it is.,6 "The godfather 2 is my opinion the best part of all! Not only because of the playing film length, but also because of the great performance of the actors. This part carries more weight in the narrative compared to the others. Coppola has created a masterpiece of timeless, exciting, interesting and truly one of the best films in film history. I gave the film a rating of 10 stars and that is more than deserved.",10 "Anthology at its very best. All the characters have played their role exceptionally well!!. One star is cut because their are few anti-hindu/ anti-National dialogues. Please don't spread your propoganda in the movies too. Anyways, I've made an honest review as it's genuinely good movie",9 "Criminal and another dirty lie about the Soviet Union and the events of that time. As a former resident of Ukraine and the Russian Federation, it is very painful for me to watch how socialism and the heroes of that time are being muddied. I really hope that people who have watched the series will be interested and find real historical facts. Of course, Russian people and former people of USSR dont have their word in the West culture, so I just hope there are enough thinking people around the world. Review is too short so I will just fill it with same information Criminal and another dirty lie about the Soviet Union and the events of that time. As a former resident of Ukraine and the Russian Federation, it is very painful for me to watch how socialism and the heroes of that time are being muddied. I really hope that people who have watched the series will be interested and find real historical facts.",1 "It was suspenseful, dramatic a bit longer than it needed to be. It does leave a ton of questions unanswered. It's not a copy cat of ""the quiet place"" since they actually had physical monsters, and it was more about sound than sight. It did remind me a bit more of ""the happening""where people randomly began to go insane. Over all it's pretty good they closed it for the most part.",6 "Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle blends martial arts and slap-stick comedy into something that is entertaining and leaves you with the sense of satisfaction. Incredible stunts and Kung Fu combo's give the movie that quality that only comes for a great Kung Fu movie. What this movie does is gives the viewer more of a story. Not the greatest of plots conceived by a film maker, but good enough for this genre. The main character Sing (Chow) plays a wannabe member of the notorious ""Axe Gang"". He and his sidekick try to perform amateur tricks on the people but are barely successful until they rob a girl's ice cream cart. This wasn't the classiest of moves. Finally they go into the Gerti where they get involved with the Axe Gang and the crazy land lords and their unusual powers. The movie revolves around the coming of the one (sound familiar) and the search for this one. Many fighters have unusual and mind boggling powers and when they fight...they fight. Anything goes from lightning quick speed, music that ""kills"", and of course, ""The Lion's Roar"". This movie exceeded my expectations greatly and created a whole new genre of film: ""Kung Fu Comedy Dancing"". I just wish there were more axe dances!!!",8 "The Harry Potter series has inspired generations. I grew up with the books and the movies. As I grew, the characters, both fictional and actual actors grew with me. This instillation of the Harry Potter movie series is what I have been waiting for. The growth of the series and the actors is at its most mature and impressive in this movie. The acting has transformed from children playing character to actors transforming into a role. The growth of the performance is extremely astounding and the newest movie will leave any Harry Potter lover satisfied, but even those who are not Harry Potter inclined will be impressed. The way the movie balances the heavy content with humor is so adept and creates the perfect cinematic experience. I am so impressed and excited about the accomplishments of this series.",10 "The Boys was a strong series right until the last episode. Its very funny, painting super heros as humans just as flawed as anyone else. This is the niche in the genre The Boys serves. There has been other movies such as Super, Special that focused on flawed super heros, or individuals who believed they were super heros but were not. The Boys strength is the funny way they paint the super heros personalities, as its a far more likely scenario, in the real world, than the good and evil fantasy characters usually represent. Its as if the plot was right under our noses all along. Pity I didnt come up with that one.",9 "As ""The Fabelmans"" (2022 release; 150 min.) opens, it is ""January 10, 1952"" and 6 yo Steven, urrr I mean Sammy, needs some serious convincing by his parents to go see ""The Greatest Show On Earth"", but when he does, he is overwhelmed. He wants to recreate the train wreck from the movie, and it's his mom who suggests filming it on an 8mm camera... At this point we are 10 minutes into the movie. Couple of comments: this is Steven Spielberg's long-awaited film of his youth. I love and respect Spielberg, but this is Spielberg at his worst: sentimental and self-indulgent. There isn't a single aspect of the movie that I found interesting or redeeming. Why did Spielberg assume that his family's comings and goings, including his parents' marital challenges, would be so unique and hence interesting, when in fact this is what happened to millions and millions of families in the 50s and early 60s. As a complete aside, as most of you know Spielberg lived in Cincinnati until age 11, then moved to Phoenix. A significant early part of the movie plays out in Cincinnati, but there is not a single reference, none, to Cincinnati. Why? In contrast, the second that the family is moving to Phoenix, Arizona, the area is mentioned multiple times in the film. I find it curious, to say the least. ""The Fabelmans"" premiered at last Fall's Toronto International Film Festival to immediate critical acclaim and then was released in US theaters just before Thanksgiving. Since then it has significantly underperformed at the box office (a mere $12 million after 7 weeks). The matinee screening where I saw this at the day after New Year's at my local art-house theater here in Cincinnati was attended well (I counted roughly 30 people). I honestly cannot think of any movie by Spielberg that is worse than this, and I cannot in good conscience recommend this to anyone. If you haven't seen this yet, please save yourself the time and money. You'll thank me later when you catch it streaming at some point.",3 "Tarantino struggles to maintain direction in a meandering 3 hour film littered with scenes which offer nothing to the story. The noteworthy acting performances, of which there are many, all fail to successfully lift the film from the sluggish bog of its lazy narrative.",5 "After rave reviews and the Golden Globes there's now an Oscar/Bafta buzz attached to LA :LA LAND. Sorry to rain on the big parade but I was not blown away. Yes, there's some charm here with all the homage to the Golden Age of romantic musicals, and Ryan Gosling remains the most charismatic of today's young stars, but the music simply isn't musical enough. Gosling and Emma Stone can just about carry a song and do a bit of amateur hoofing, but really the singing is nearly as ragged as it was in the screen version of LES MISERABLES and the dancing is about as far from Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly as the first round of 'Dancing With the Stars'. OK, Kelly and Astaire (and Ginger Rogers and other co-stars of theirs) did not have great singing voices, but they were fantastic dancers and the song-and-dance numbers in their movies were never less than dazzling. The closest LA LA LAND comes to dazzling is in the final routine, a low-rent tribute to AN American IN Paris, but it just doesn't have enough dazzle. As musicals go, fings ain't what they used to be. The jazz club scenes hit the only high spots. Gosling really looks as if he's creating magic on the piano, but there's no magic in his singing or his dancing – nor in Stone's, who alas doesn't have her co-star's redeeming charisma. The love-story has a certain amount of charm but, like the music, it could do with a bit more 'zing'. The Golden Age nostalgia also extends to a clunky tribute to REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE. But nostalgia just isn't enough and there's too much clunkiness on display here. They say there isn't the money to create great musicals like we had in MGM's heyday. Surely it would take only a fraction of the budget for a CGI-heavy action movie or space opera to hire some first-rate dancers and singers who can act - or, if we must, actors who can sing (or mime to a better singer)? SINGIN' IN THE RAIN cannot have been a big-budget production, but it's still the greatest of the greats.",6 "In another era this kind of story would be called an exploitation film. My rating is perhaps too low considering I watched the whole series but I was really hoping by the end one of the bad guys aim would be good and we could see the end of the outrageously horrendous vigilante Frank. Like the other connected Marvel heroes of a dark New York, it seemed a pity to me that they did not make the passable plot lines great and just let up on all the fake blood. And Frank's superpower was never really spelled out...is it a spoiler? He heals miraculously! It seemed laughable at times. Perhaps you will like it though? There are some likable characters.",2 Had very high expectations of the movie but lost interest very quickly. I have to agree with the content other reviewers place here who are also not blown away as others apparently are. Bad plot and story line.,6 "The first film had a certain charm to its rambunctious nature. Somehow that was lost on this outing. I wanted to love it because the Carnage character is something I've wanted to see on the big screen and also, with Andy Serkis serving as director, that was something I held high hopes for. Sadly, none of this really hit the mark. Everything felt a bit too insincere. Missing intent. Confused. Haphazard. The back and forth between Brock and Venom became annoying quickly here and it just seemed over done. There were a lot of small things like this that just didn't feel right. Carnage himself was terrifying and impressive, but the inbetween parts didn't serve the characterization as much as I'd hoped. Overall, sadly disappointing.",4 "Always fun to watch when things fall apart for the bad guy or gal, but this series does a pretty bad job of representing how cold, ruthless, and soulless the real Elizabeth Holmes is. Amanda Seyfried is really trying but just not convincing enough. Supporting cast helps make it entertaining and more fun to watch.",5 "Kung Fu Hustle is an action/comedy kung-fu movie from Hong Kong born director Stephen Chow. It is set in 1940's China during a time of political strife. Gangs are running rampant throughout the many districts and the Axe Gang is the most feared of them all. The only districts that are safe are the poorest ones because the gangs have little interest in them. It is a story of survival against the wicked Axe Gang as they terrorize a poor village, all because they were humiliated once by the three kung-fu masters that live in said village. Stephen Chow plays the shaggy and unkempt Sing, whose only wish is the be one of the bad guys and join the Axe Gang. He does so by posing as an Axe Gang member with his friend Bone (Lam Chi Chung) who attempt to terrorize the village in which the story is centered around. This of course all ends in disaster and sparks two stories, one following Sing's quest to join the Axe Gang, and the villages war with the Axe Gang. While Kung Fu Hustle has a story that keeps you interested, it is the incredibly over the top action that makes this film one of the most entertaining I've ever seen. It is very campy and cheesy, but it is all intentional. The fight sequences are very memorable and they will keep you guessing at what insane heights the movie will reach to next. It is an ingenious blend of comedy and kung fu action that constantly keeps you wanting more. You should not get bored of this film. It never lets up with the ridiculous action. Every fight sequence is different and every single one will wow you to an endless extent. I'm not one for a movie that puts story to the wayside and lets the action take over and somehow Kung Fu Hustle manages to avoid that. The story is always there, no matter how simple it might be. Everything this movie accomplishes is so beautifully blended together that it amazes and mystifies, all the while keeping you laughing hysterically at how over the top everything about it is. Kung Fu Hustle is ridiculously fun entertainment at its best. If you want something different that you've never seen the likes of before then this movie is for you.",8 "This is a movie you will soon forget. There is no personal story that will make you emotionally involved. The acting is limited to listening to officers discuss the facts: 400 000 men stranded with little hope to return to Britain alive. If you like watching bombs falling and men dying, this is the film for you. Else, avoid it.",4 "I am a huge movie fan. I love Michael Bay, Ryan Reynolds and everything Netflix has done for our industry but this movie is a steaming piece of dog crap. The acting is terrible, the special effects, shooting and wrecks, are awful even worse the story line is garbage. I usually watch all movies until the end but this one was too bad. They could have done a MUCH better job than this! Hard Pass!",5 "The setting has a lot of potential, unfortunately after having seen season 1 and 2, IMHO it shows very bad scripting, as the main character is incoherent... Hence, it essentially felt down to ""another one"" of those much too many newest breed of TV series or movies which seem to exist only for showing pornographic violence. Maybe they thought that it would compensate for a poor script along quite empty characters ? It actually turns down to a detective storyline, and a very, very poor one for that matter.",3 "I don't normally write reviews , but the producers really dropped the ball the second season, and it is beyond disappointing. The second season has a totally different look and feel , from the production , to the acting , as well as the writing . I haven't watched a show go this sour since the 4th season of Vikings . I could not make it past the first episode, where three quarters of the episode is a love story. Easily the worst piece of trash I have watched in the past year . They took take a great series and destroyed it into a piece of pop trash . If you think the second season is good then I question your sense of reality.",6 "Spoiler alert: this is a Michael Bay film. For anyone still reading, s'prise, this is a Michael Bay film with actual legs. Legs and wheels and guns and bombs and crashes and explosions. A multiple orgasm of explosions. But here's the sweet part of the deal: it has Ryan Reynolds. And Ryan Reynolds is allowed to, nay, implored to, quip sarcastic for the duration. Much like his ""Deadpool"" persona, except without the super hero crap. This is the saving grace. Or at least, makes it a bearable couple hours of parkour crazy, escapism fluff. ""6 Underground"" is a really great bad film. There, it had to be said. Of course there's problems a plenty, like some ill advised political interludes, but that's what the fast forward button is for. And if grandpa has fallen asleep on the remote, you can take the time to restock nourishment, which is absolutely necessary. This is a giant tub of popcorn and a supersized vat of soda movie. The plot, such as it is, involves a planned private coup of the oppressed nation of Turgistan, which turns out to be a fictional place (thanks Google Maps). It is also the set up for a tiny but oh so delicious Bern of the unnamed American president: ""he can't even spell it"". This thing is littered with little Reynolds verbal snipes which come almost as fast as the bullets. Pay attention. Or don't. Everything looks super fantastic, all flashy colours, GoPro angles, boytoy guns and sculpted cleavage. There's slimy bad guys and chiselled good guys, and absolutely no grey areas in between. The storyline is grade school ridiculous, but also, grade school fabulous. As if a Ritalin and energy drink hopped up nine year old, mish-mashed the action sequences in every Bond, Mission Impossible, and Fast and Furious franchise on his laptop. If there's a level above ""over the top"", this is it. Magnificently insane. Sure to sweep the bestest and mostest explosions categories at the next Oscars. It is that good. Or maybe it's the fever talking. Whatever, this is a cerebral jolt of incoherent, lunatic action fun that hits the spot. Just pummels it.",7 Never got into it. Just cringe throughout the entire movie. I got annoyed.,4 "Holy moly this movie is long, and not in a good way. It has an (admittedly kind of decent) idea that easily could've been explained in less than half of it's 321 minute runtime, but nope! We need to over-complicate things and make it EXTRA-LONG too! I fell asleep during all three of my attempts to watch it and have no interest in making a fourth anytime soon.",1 "Pulp Fiction"" is a groundbreaking film that revolutionized the crime genre and solidified Quentin Tarantino's reputation as a visionary filmmaker. Released in 1994, the film weaves together multiple interconnected stories that unfold in a non-linear narrative, creating a rich tapestry of characters, dialogue, and themes. At its core, ""Pulp Fiction"" is a meditation on violence, redemption, and the human condition. The film follows the lives of hitmen Vincent Vega (played by John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (played by Samuel L. Jackson), mob boss Marsellus Wallace (played by Ving Rhames), his wife Mia Wallace (played by Uma Thurman), boxer Butch Coolidge (played by Bruce Willis), and a host of other colorful characters whose lives intersect in unexpected and often violent ways. One of the most striking aspects of ""Pulp Fiction"" is its bold and innovative storytelling. Tarantino eschews traditional narrative structure in favor of a fractured timeline that jumps back and forth between different moments in the characters' lives. This approach not only keeps viewers on the edge of their seats but also allows for deeper exploration of the characters' motivations, relationships, and moral dilemmas. The film's dialogue is another standout feature, characterized by Tarantino's trademark wit, humor, and pop culture references. From discussions about fast food to debates about the ethics of foot massages, the dialogue crackles with energy and reveals insights into the characters' personalities and worldviews. Memorable lines like Jules' recitation of Ezekiel 25:17 before executing his targets have become iconic in popular culture, cementing ""Pulp Fiction"" as a quotable classic. In addition to its narrative and dialogue, ""Pulp Fiction"" is also known for its eclectic soundtrack, stylish visuals, and meticulous attention to detail. The film's use of music, ranging from surf rock to soul to funk, enhances the mood of each scene and adds layers of meaning to the story. Tarantino's visual flair is evident in his use of bold colors, dynamic camera angles, and inventive shot compositions that create a sense of heightened reality. Central to the film's exploration of violence is its treatment of redemption and moral ambiguity. Characters in ""Pulp Fiction"" grapple with questions of sin, forgiveness, and personal responsibility as they navigate a world where violence is both a means to an end and a source of moral conflict. Whether it's Vincent's crisis of conscience after accidentally shooting Marvin or Butch's decision to save Marsellus from certain death, the characters must confront the consequences of their actions and seek some form of redemption. Ultimately, ""Pulp Fiction"" is a film that defies easy categorization. It blends elements of crime drama, black comedy, and existential philosophy into a singular cinematic experience that continues to captivate audiences decades after its release. With its unforgettable characters, razor-sharp dialogue, and innovative storytelling techniques, ""Pulp Fiction"" remains a timeless masterpiece that continues to influence and inspire filmmakers around the world.",6 "Film Totally Dhamal Lov actng , Zaira U R Cutnessssoverlodd ,I Love U And Vara Vj Mam Superb 🙏",10 This series started good and was very promising. Then it just got more and more political and the story started to drag. Now it is like listening to a boring lecture. I'm done with it.,3 What story ? What was the story ? Even if i tried i can't spoil the story for anyone. The worst Tarantino movie for me!,3 I think this movie is highly overrated. I hoped for some action.,1 "Highly reccomended to everyone.A movie with full of suspense and thriller.It gives you goosebumps damn sure!!! One of the best thriller movie in my life. I really appreciates to the director for making this masterpiece movie. This movie truly deserves Oscar.",10 "A marvelous series, dark, scary, sensual, fantastical, and gorgeous.",9 "I expected much much more. The story, or better, lack of a story, is a real let down. It's full of plot holes, it's very unrealistic and there is no explanation. After 2 hours of watching, you still don't know anything. Very disappointing. The acting is good though, but even a good cast cannot make something out of nothing.",3 Really it has just amazing messege. #Kat is just outstanding ; Dylan & Cristian too. One of the best Web Series that I've ever seen before. Must watch. I'm giving 4.5/5 for Season 1 but after I've watched season 2 I must say that there were somethings need to more improvement. That's why it I'm giving just 2/5 just for Clay & Hannah story and the story telling of Jess.,7 "Gen V is exactly what I wanted from a spinoff of The Boys. The Boys remains one of my all time favorite shows, and Gen V does a well enough job to keel me over until the next season. I appreciated the university atmosphere, but wish there were more college-like shenanigans that these kids were up to. It seemed that most of their ventures had to do with off the record conspiracy as opposed to exploring what an actual superhero college would look like. The cameos were fun and not forced. The satire was present but not as biting as in The Boys. The characters were lovable and for the most part, you are rooting for them to come out successful. I liked this show, and I'm happy we have it!",8 Al pacino rocked it. The way the story is told parallel of two main characters is amazing. Al Pacino deserved an Oscar for this.,10 "Look Al Pacino is brilliant. He has shown through time that he has always been a great actor. He carries this film. Pacino genuinely looks happy. He looks sad, reflective, and insightful. Pecsi and Kitel do wonders. They look and act the part but the film is horrible. It drags. It loses sight of what a film is supposed to do. This is like when Guns N' Roses reunited at first but hated each other. Martin and Robert are out of their range. They no longer have what it takes. The runtime is also a downer. When Martin made Mean Streets it was an early film. So while it was a bit boring you felt there was an artist burning with passion. Here, there is nothing. I am not sure what is more disappointing me wasting my time or believing this could have been a good film. For all the aging effects, the reunion, Martin saying how he got the gang together- its a let down. We have to stop this nonsense. Film is never supposed to be this way. The problem is one- Robert has nothing left. Martin cant inspire him anymore. So it ends very blandly. I can't say more.",5 The storyline is simple but the way it was narrated is just mind bliwing. BGM from Ghibran is world-class and deserves special along with Director Ram Kumar.,10 "Let´s get one thing out of the way, the series is way overestimated. Does that mean it cant be entertaining? Of course not. First off all it reminds me of Suicide Squad, but in series format and with a better story. It goes for the style over substance formula, with the quippy music and the slow camera. It has a good direction and a nice photography, and it tries to be ""the crazy kid in the bunch"" but it never really knows how to achieve that, so it relies on stereotypical and generic ways of reaching out to the audience. One major issue, is the fact that it doesnt know who the targeted audience is. It presents itself as a series with adult or mature themes and premise, but it doesnt quite know how to deliver these without being childish and a bit outdated. It is like a grown up show, developted by kids. It rhymes with the shows premise, if we the audience are like the umbrella teens and the show itself is the condescending scientist/father figure. Another problem is the dialogue. The characters just dont seem to be able to speak normally, without blurping exposition in meaningfull ways. The casting itself is a bit weak, but that is just me. The characters are all presented in a stereotypical faction, but we have already seen these types in other movies, but better written and with more depth. For a show about mystery, it is really afraid that the audience isnt following, and it constantly holds your hand all the way through, wich is strange because the story, really isnt hard to follow. It´s like we cant fathom the awesomness of the shows tribulations, so they re-explain everything and make characters say and do things to this effect. The series has a lot of potential but the execution is just laking.",6 "Great cast, professionally done, but why? Vanished 62 years Jimmy Hoffa played by 79 year old Al Pacino, 76 year old De Niro and 77 year old Scorsese tell their version of ""Gangs of American history"" and obviously have doubts that not even De Niro's nurse show's interest in what happened half a century ago.",4 "All I want to know is did the people who thought the movie was bad actually go to high school?? Maybe they went through with blinders on?? This is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while. They hit it perfectly when they made this movie. I'm happy that somebody got it right on the money! Kudos to the real Seth and Evan on making this happen! All the people who didn't get it need to lighten up a lot! Life's too short to take all this so seriously!! That's why they call it ""entertainment"" and not ""this is your life""! Anybody who hasn't seen it yet and can appreciate a movie that may be at times vulgar but true to life should see it. Look beyond the surface and you'll find a really entertaining movie.",10 "While I understand those who are disappointed by this show, and I was too after the first episode, I think this show gets way too much hate. Other than that first episode, where Bucky and Sam don't even meet up, I at like every single episode after that point. Especially episode two, four, and six, which are the episodes I think are the best. Honestly, I just don't understand why this show isn't that well-recieved by Marvel fans. Overall, I enjoy this show very much, and I think it is extremely underappreciated. 8.5/10.",8 "These live action reboots are driving me nuts. We don't need a live action Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Lion king, etc, etc. I'm not the biggest Disney fan, but I do appreciate these movies. The cartoons, even though they aren't live action, feel 200% more real then the live action movies. These cartoons give you emotions, happiness, and meaning. But the live action ones are boring, copy cats, and stupid. Disney thinks they are giving us big favor by making the classics more realistic, but the reason we liked the classics is because they weren't realistic. they were like a dream. so disney, if you see this, stop ruining the classics. just make new ones. the disney fan base is dieing because we are not getting anything new anymore.",4 "Loki series is visually a masterpiece, these colors. OMG! Technically, it's definitely the best MCU series. Episode four and five - something beautiful. I'm very curious what the creators will come up with in season two and how much influence Loki will have on other MCU productions, because after the end we can expect a continuation in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. I can't wait!",8 "All that money, all those clever effects, all those stars ... and for what? A mind-numbing stream of syrup with no discernible purpose except to fool very dull people into thinking they have seen an epic movie. Life is like a box of chocolates? No, but some movies are as sickly sweet.",5 "I enjoyed part one but part two was very difficult to watch, The action was too fast to even make sense so you would have to rewind and watch again. They tried to cram so much into every scene it was impossible to follow and understand, Then ,to make it look actiony they added so much flashing and very brite scenes which actually gave me a headache! I had to stop and take an excedrin for a mild migraine. Its like in Japan when they showed a movie and the children had to be treated for convulsions, If the sequences were slowed down a little and the plot left to take a more natural progression it would have been a good movie, FASTER isn't better and speed really not necessary. What was the hurry anyway? Let us savor and enjoy the movie much like a fine wine. Slow part three down and I might just watch it, If its like part two I will watch no more,",2 "This movie could have been 2 hours and maybe it would have been ok. It was as slow as everyone says. Rating this movie highly has more to do with nostalgia than cinematic excellence. Don't dismiss this review thinking I like superficial tripe movies. I've watched all the great mobster movies and loved them but when De Niro started off in a rest home, he left us there, never to get out of the med induced coma this movie created.",5 "This movie is overloaded with what appears to be scenes and dialogue responding to events on social media. The first half hour is about the person or people who wrote it, not the people in the story or on the screen. Scene after scene of one-sided cliched identity nonsense. Jam packed with the lamest pop culture references, as if that's what I am here for. I am amazed that this can get you above a 7. Somehow this is what a lot of people want now? I keep seeing this in recent movies and show. It seems that pandering to a naive immature demographic pays off, and the target audience seems to respond by rating the movie highly only because of that. I think there is a better way. I mean, I know, because movies are not new, neither is storytelling, and neither is social conflict. This is clumsy, crude stuff. Cave man stuff.",2 I think I lasted 15 minutes into episide one before I gave up. I wasn't sure what to expect but this is just terrible. Make your own minds up but don't say you've not been warned.,1 "On a whim I watched the first season, it was like a train wreck, I couldn't look away. So weird, with the inner monologues, awkward interactions, and down right crazy storyline. I almost didn't watch the second season, but I'm so glad I did. Season 2 brings character development, wonderful moments between Alyssa and James, and of course... more crazy storyline.",6 "OK, the CGI is excellent.Never copy and paste looks so different and you don't need a movie, that speaks about the circle of life, without a soul.",2 "A real treat. Easy going setting. Great characters full of warmth and secrets. A real fan of Steve Martin and this serves up well for him. Will there end up being a hundred murders/ers in one building. I hope they do string out a few more seasons that's for sure. 2 great seasons deserves 2 seasons more.",9 "This movie develops the character of Peter Parker; as well as his family, friends, and foes. The storyline was intricate, the dialogue was perfect, the special effects were great, and the acting was excellent. Sam Raimi's direction was perfect for presenting Spider-Man/Peter Parker. Every single line uttered in this movie was important and could not be cut from the movie. During a period when sequels have not proven to be nearly as good as the original, the Spider-Man series has proven us wrong. Spider-Man 2 is the movie of the summer (and probably the year). Thank you Sam Raimi for making a great Hollywood movie, and I know you will continue keeping the quality of the Spider-Man franchise high.",10 It's one of the best shows ever if it wasn't the best there's no words that can describe how awesome this series is and the ending is the best part of the whole series,9 "THIS FILM BOMBED SO BAD THEY'VE RE-RELEASED IT IN UK CINEMAS - DON'T GO!!! I went to the flicks to see this based on several reviews, mostly from IMDb. I love a good action thriller, the Bourne franchise blew me away and set the action thriller bar far higher as a result of its originality and success. HOWEVER...............Mr.Reeves was his usual unemotional, wooden, B-Lister self; the plot line was the basic 'revenge' story used a thousand times before without one jot of its own originality. I figure the producers want the (obviously planned for) sequel to better 'part 1', it won't be hard to do. Thick gangster, even stupider gangster, muscle gangster, gangster gangster and top gangster's psycho son make an appearance - just to keep the clichés coming. Many, many guns, many, many choreographed 'fight' scenes, but not much else. The lavish budget looked to have been plowed into amazing sets, rare muscle cars and designer wear for a myriad of extras (and probably some freebies for most of the critics, or how else did it get 'good' reviews?!). I stayed as long as i could hoping things would improve, they didn't; so 1 hour 10 minutes in I had to admit it was totally pants and left the cinema feeling ripped off and cursing every teen reviewer on here. I still don't know how it ended, and I don't care. But let me guess........ Against all adversity and many lethal obstacles John Wick finally gets his revenge at great personal cost, many bloody injuries and sacrifice, but at least he avenges his dog, probably with an almost funny one liner as the cherry on top. Am I right? Go and watch anything but this, even a mindless frat movie would be more intelligent and entertaining. TO THE MANY 'POSITIVE' REVIEWS ON HERE - WHEN YOU GROW UP MAYBE YOU WILL LEARN WHAT A GOOD FILM LOOKS LIKE?",2 "I felt this TV show really relates to me, being in high school i know what this feels like and us, as teenagers go through these things everyday, this TV show is quite a depressing piece, i would definitely recommend it though, it just has an something to it that grabs your attention, its probably what i said before, that i and others can relate so well to it. I know from what i've heard, that there was been many suicides around my area, including some friends of my friends and its so hard to take it all in, but this TV shows a very unique and different side to suicide, the tapes i thought were an amazing was to explain her time at the school with the people around her. It just goes to show that there needs to be more awareness for teenagers and pretty much anyone who is even just thinking about these ideas and thoughts. I would love to meet Jay Asher (the author) and would like to seek further information on why she chose this topic. If you have read this far, and you are going through something like this at any time of your life, just know a few things; 1, that there is always hope in this world no matter who your are or where you come from and 2, there is always someone to talk to, DO NOT be shy, it is really important that people speak with others, even if its just telling your closest friend. Thanks for your time, Enjoy the Show :) and have a terrific day!",9 "This is the third venture of the Director Raj Kumar Gupta and this is his best work till date after Aamir and No one killed Jessica. This films works wonders with it's simplicity factor and intense back of forth exchanges between Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla. Ileana's scenes and songs rather seem forced into the movie but she does a good job in pulling of whatever screen space she's offered. Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla are the main highlights of this movie with both living up to their talent and delivering power packed performances. This movie might not be a money spinner like other Ajay's masala movies, but it's definitely not a forgettable movie. Hope he chooses more movies that ride on content. Good watch!!!",8 Fails at the first hurdle: a thriller that don't thrill. 2 hours wasted watch.,3 "In Avengers: Endgame, the gang goes back in time to steal the Infinity Stones. Back in 2012, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is captured by the Avengers. He manages to grab the Tesseract during the chaos of Endgame and is immediately captured by the Time Variance Authority. Ravonna Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) sentences him to be reset but Agent Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson) has other ideas. Loki is one of the best non-hero characters in the MCU. In fact, he's a better character than most of the heroes. He definitely deserves a stand-alone something. The powers-that-be grants him a two-season TV show. The first season is the best that TV can offer. The only issue is beyond the show's control. Jonathan Majors' real world trouble places a giant shadow over them and quite frankly, he's a giant stain on the entire MCU. One does have to separate the art from the artist. I do struggle with that in the second season. Mostly, the show meanders a little. The introduction of Ke Huy Quan is a welcome distraction. Finally, the show finds a compelling poetic ending and cements this as one of the best from MCU TV despite the unnamed shadow.",8 "The acting was good & concept was brilliant; but it left me with a lot of unanswered questions and I felt like I had to jump to too many conclusions. I was excited for Sarah Paulson, so I was fairly disappointed that she wasn't in it more. Overall a fairly good movie. The concept makes up for the obvious plot holes- I just want to read the book now.",7 "Like the title said, Daniel Craig was really good in this movie. chris evans and armas made it kinda hard to watch and made it all seem long and dragged out. It looks like a rather amazing cast on paper but it just feels like it isn't playing to it's strengths and some of these rather secondary characters shows a lot of personality that you'd expect, but then seem to fade away in the story. having someone like LaKeith Stanfield in the movie and only using him to ask stupid questions, it just seem like such a waste of talent. It's not a bad movie and it does achieve somewhat what it tried to. would probably rate it somewhere between a 6 and 7.",6 "Unlike other superhero movies, it reveals the subject of best friends in an emotional and sincere way. It's my favorite Marvel movie and it handles many of the characters well. It gives them enough screen time. The action scenes are not full of fancy effects. The flow of the movie offers an enjoyable viewing experience. Steve and Bucky's final fight against Tony is a whirlwind of excitement. It contains meaningful messages. It shows that it is not an ordinary superhero movie. Besides entertainment, there is also an emotional touch. Nowadays, super movies that are a bit boring and meaningless are not satisfactory. That's why the value of things done well should be known more. If people want action-packed movies, they should produce meticulous productions like this movie.",8 This was such a boring movie. The MSU has done an amazing job with their movies. Although this was not it. 2 hours was not long enough for all these happening. The first hour i was ready to stop the movie and just sleep. Also in the last 10 minutes everything happened so fast that we could not understand them. Hopefully this won't happen again! Sorry MSU :(,2 "Fine, the action is great. Noting else to offer. Really mediocre movie.",5 "Worth watching. Found it a bit slow at times. A lot of strange unrealistic things that wouldn't happen in real life. 6 episodes, first and last are best and I enjoyed the first two episodes storyline. Not sure how this could to to a second season. There are better British watches - Line of Duty, Happy Valley, Broadchurch, Luther.",7 Despite the fact that the movie is super boring.. You will have to see abhishek bachans face for 2 hours 30 mins.. Good luck to you if you want to survive that.,1 "There's probably about 2 minutes of actual content in each episode that matters. I don't quite get everyone preaching it's genius. It's surface level stuff with it just mimmicking sitcoms from the era but the difference is they were funny. Don't understand the hype.",6 "We endured the first two series of this show, but couldn't get past episode one of series three. Will Robison singing with a guitar finished us off. Over achieving, hipster kids, stranded on a planet. No thanks.",3 "The show has a nice but selena ruined it , at the beginning I thought that her character was supposed to be the way she acted but eventually it was just bad acting !",7 "The movie is too long, with unnecessary scenes that add nothing to the story. Accidentally is nearly all the scenes where Di Caprio is on stage without Pitt plus the one where Robbie goes to the movies. So what I have done? I made my own cut editing all that fluff, it was 39 minutes of boredom, on a dvd. Tarantino obviously has only yes men around and that is not good for him. Let's have a party with my version and icy beers.",6 "I think this movie very bad, from the story and the plot. Only win in animation or CGI effects. Boring!",4 Enchanting and engrossing.2 episodes in and I'm seat edge excited for the third!,10 "Death note is an adaptation of the famous manga and anime, and while its source material is way better than this movie, I found myself enjoying this cinematic outing. The script was rushed, yes, mainly in the beginning, but it wrapped up pretty nicely in the end. I also thought that it was a good idea to try and update the story for western audiences, you need to try and call people's attention and I think they did that very well. Overall I liked the film, it's not perfect and I knew they would take a lot of liberties, but it was very enjoyable and the direction by Adam wingard is amazing!",9 "I am astounded at how bad this was. It plays like a low budget soap opera. Everything looks like it is cheap but like they are trying to make it look glamorous. And everything is so overdramatized and cliche. Every little bit of dialogue just seems so try hard. It's cringe worthy. I was looking forward to this, but couldn't even get into the first episode it was just so painful to watch. The fact that it is getting high ratings just shows how low the standards are today. There's just no art in this. Pitiful.",1 "Just wait for it to come out on cable, trust me. Mindless action scenes may be fit for kids, but not mature adults like myself. If you have seen the trailer, then you have seen Mickey Rourke cut a car in 2 on a Formula 1 race track as the race is happening, that scene says it all. And Mickey Rourke decided to do the movie in Russian. WOW. Don't expect anything out of this movie if you are going to enjoy it. It is no Dark Knight. It's not in my opinion better than Ironman 1. I'm not bashing this movie, I just expected too much. If you just want to see a Michael Bay style movie with stuff exploding and blowing up all over the place for no reason, then you'll love this movie. Or if you like movies like Underworld, Hancock, or Tranformers 2, it might just be the movie for you.",4 "Fargo is funny and dramatic in a really low key way. My favorite moments are at the end of the movie...""I don't understand"" monologue and that last stamp conversation. Great movie to watch on a cold, rainy or snowy day.",10 "I'm honestly shocked that this show has such amazing ratings and reviews. I'm Ukrainian and I was so disappointed with how this show had so many inaccuracies. I had to force myself to watch the entire season, because the timeline was so slow and repetitive. I love watching anything about Chernobyl, but this show was such a disappointment. As a Ukrainian, I'm not happy with how this show depicted this tragedy.",4 "This is a spoiler free review so please read for information regarding if its okay for kids to watch and if its a good movie(WHICH IT IS). Alright hi, Where do i start? This is a another amazing super hero movie which is totally different from an average super hero movie. This movie is like Avengers 2.5 and I would rather have this be the Avengers movie from last year which was Age of Ultron which was disappointing. Age of Ultron was setting up way too many future movies coming out like the third Thor movie. Age of Ultron was going in a million directions and you would be clueless and ask questions like Why is he in the movie if he isn't related in any way to the story line? However this movie was on topic and had a great story and by the end of the movie you would be like that all made sense. Now lets dive in and see what made this movie amazing. After the events of Captain America The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron, we see our hero Captain America doing his job which is saving people. Captain America alongside with the other Avengers: Black Widow, Falcon, and Scarlett Witch and the last two have become Avengers now, are on a mission when suddenly something bad happens and a building blows up with people in it. 170 countries unite and create the Sokovia Accords which states that any super hero must sign this and register their information just in case something bad happens and you don't get the blame for it. Captain America thinks its a bad idea (which I will not spoil why). While Iron Man thinks its a great idea( Which I will also not spoil). Then it becomes small argument which then becomes a ""war' when a bombing happens and Bucky Barnes aka the Winter Soldier gets the blame for it. Captain America knows it wasn't him and goes against the law to protect his best friend. This movie introduce two major characters who I already started loving right when they got on screen. Spider Man who I thought was like the best character of the movie right next to Captain America and Black Panther who was a bad-ass. Both just fit in the movie and made everything perfect. Spider Man was hilarious and when he came in the movie and enchanted his stuff, I was like he is what made this movie one of the best. Black Panther was a bad-ass. When they introduced him in the movie, he was being fired at by a helicopter and bullets bounced right off his suit and I was just blown away. Im not going to spoil anything else so please go watch this movie. Sadly there was one flaw of the movie, the villain. Yeah there was a small villain who didn't have a costume but in the comics he's amazing! In the movie he isn't :(. Im talking about Baron Zemo who wasn't appealing at all and has a terrible backstory but is a really good mastermind! You will see why in the end of the movie. The action in this movie blew my mind away, the airport scene was one of the best action scene I have scene in my whole life, it was beautiful, well choreographed action and each character got their own solo part which told us why we grew up loving them. So please I cannot stretch it enough to go watch this movie. IS IT OKAY FOR THE KIDS? Yes its perfectly fine just like a couple of uses of S--T which you barely hear so its fine and there was this one quick kiss that wasn't teasing any kind of sexual interaction, just a sweet kiss and was funny, you will know when you see it. This movie also has great positive messages from Captain America like you don't leave anyone behind. Chris Evans has done it again as Captain America and told me why Cap is my favorite superhero. So please go watch this movie and have a great day!",9 "Dominika Egorova (Jenifer Lawrence) has an injury that ends her career as a prima ballerina with the Bolshoi Ballet. She is sent by her uncle Vanya Egorov (Matthias Schoenaerts) to the Secret Agent Sparrow School to learn how to use her body and mind as a weapon to manipulate strategic targets. Dominika later calls the school "" A Whore School."" She goes through with the school so the government will pay for her mother's medical bills and for the apartment. Her new mission is to make contact with CIA Agent Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton) to find out who his informant is as the Russians believe there is a mole among them. Dominika is not too happy with her uncle, but he gives her no choice. This is actually quite a story and there are twists and turns before the BIG REVEAL (the mole). There are some very disturbing beatings and torture and these scenes are not comfortable to watch. When I first saw Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone, I knew she would be a very great actress and she has never disappointed. She invests herself into roles completely and that makes her great in my eyes. And, yes, she is very beautiful too. (that never hurts) I enjoyed Lawrence's Russian accent. Hey, a lot of dialogues could have been in captions and I was happy English worked just fine. All acting performances were spot on. And yes, we see where CIA Agent Nate Nash tries to turn Dominika to work for the CIA. Notables: Charlotte Rampling as Matron, Dominika's instructor at the Sparrow School; Jeremy Irons as General Korechnoi who agrees to allow Dominika to get close to the CIA agent Nash; Mary-Louise Parker as Stephanie Boucher, a Chief of Staff to an American Senator and she has supplied the Russians with classified information for money; Sergej Onopko as Simyonov who does the torture and really likes to use the skin removal tool. Very hard to watch. (It's only a movie) Jennifer Lawrence as Dominika takes over this movie and we are not always sure what she will do next, but we are thoroughly engaged. (9/10) Violence: Yes. Sex: Yes. Nudity: Yes. Humor: No. Language: Yes, but not much. Rating: A",9 Never beloved that this kind of movie can be made in India. It's no nonsense movie with pure action.,10 "So, half way through the 3rd season and the story is moving quite slowly but the characters are many, in some instances played by two different actors, which makes it a tad confusing. Baldwin is played by a different actor in season 3 due to other commitments of the original actor.... or is he. At the final scene at the baptism, gathered around the family table the original Baldwin is standing there bold as billy befrigged in his tank top with his chubby smile, yet in a scene just seconds before Baldwin- the new incarnation- heads back to a meeting in Venice, now I know vampires, at least in this story, are fast but can they shape shift too? My head buzzes...",4 "Another cookie cutter movie a la Marvel. Boring, predictable and Venom's voice is so cringe. Dont spend your time on this rubbish. Do something more fun - like peel potatoes or clean the toilet.",1 "Very glossy with big effects but hard to follow initially and a bit of a mess of a film. So many continuity issues and slightly longer than it needed to be. Ryan Reynolds is better than this",4 "Honestly, I can't believe the amount of hype surrounding this movie.. I absolutely hated every second watching this with its headache-inducing CGI, awful story, terrible acting and uninteresting characters.. the only reason I continued watching it to the end was because the events are usually connected across other MCU movies, it was like a pill I had to swallow..",2 "Season 1 was a shock for me, it was like the 1st matrix movie, briliant and unexpected. I rated it best TV show of 2016, before Game of Thrones or Westworld, and I stick to my choice even now. However, season 2 and 3 were ...well, like Matrix 2 and 3, more, but ultimately less, ...a lot less. Humans, in general, seem to work on two things: something, and money. With Stranger Things the feeling is that for the 1st season they were really doing something, while for the latter they were just making money.",7 "Starting the evening off right with ""A MOST VIOLENT YEAR"". Written and directed by JC Chandor. I've noticed something about this film! The luxurious CAMEL SKIN jacket that Oscar Issac wears throughout the film is more than just a costume. It's a symbol for his new found wealth and success within the heating oil industry... If you listen closely the jacket has a voice of its own! No different from the spotlight that Batman uses or Superman's red cape! Simply telling the world that ""Iam here whether you like it or not because this my home too! And nothing will get in the way of me seeing my vision through and making a better life for myself."" Admirable... Inspiring even but the irony of it all is that he became the king of a dying kingdom. Fossil fuels won't be used for much longer. Man's nac for innovation will be his downfall then someone else will take his seat on the throne!",10 "I didn't like that it was advertised as if it was a bad girl and the father didn't know. That wasn't the case at all. And what she was involved in was very subtle and no one cares. I had how the movie was all behind screens. It was annoying to me. The new movie missing makes me want to see it, but I'm afraid to see another movie all on computer or phone screens. The ending of this movie was surprising and unexpected. I thought there was an ending but it wasn't the ending after all then unexpected things happened. I think the acting was good and not annoying. The way the police and the father were searching for her, I guess that was interesting.",5 "I cant understand why american screen writers keep creating countries that end wit -tan? It's like if you put -tan at the end of country name it automaticly becomes a state. On the other hand, it's was to watch. But only once...",4 "Season 1 is good and okay, and in season 2, stupid things are protrayrd to move the story forward and it's just annoying and frustrating... In the end neither funny nor captivating.....",5 "I do not recall other mission imposible series, but this one turn out to be really a movie with unnecessary drama like the unnecessary kissing scene. Everything was kind of duplication from some action movies, the most boring part of this movie is when i have to pay attention to the never ending explanation of what and who the enemy is, tom cruise did a standard job in covering his part and so does other roles. This movie could have been better if they would just focus on the mission impossible part.",5 "Loved season 1 - rated it a 10 Really enjoyed season 2 - rating unchanged Season 3....what happened??? Gave up midway through episode 3. WTH? My rating is dropping to 6 and only that high due to how much I enjoyed the first two seasons. This seems to keep on happening - except for those well written shows who's creators know when to bring it to a close, thinking ""The Good Place"".",6 "Plot is weak! Main character is boring, annoying, immature despite being a 26 year old man, useless in ever sense of the word, has shits for brains. It makes no sense how can a grown man go back into his younger self and be more immature than everybody else around him? How can you say you wanna be a delinquent and you're more useless than even an average person. God it's so frustrating to watch. All he does is cry and get punched every f**king episode. If anybody thinks this is good they need some psychiatric evaluation. And for everyone comparing it to erased you're incredibly dumb, erased was wonderful and sensible. This anime has absolutely no redeeming qualities.",1 "STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning After the tragic death of his wife, John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is given a dog as a parting gift from her, in order that he won't return to his former life of violence and mayhem. However, a run in with gangster's son Iosef (Alfie Allen) results in his home being invaded, and his pet being brutally murdered. This sets the fire raging in John's heart again, and before long, he returns to the streets to enact brutal revenge. However, Iosef's father is Viggo (Michael Nvquist), a Russian mob boss and his former employer. It's remarkable that, while far better actors have descended into a DVD bargain bin hellhole from which there seems no return, Keanu Reeves would still appear to have the star power to headline a Hollywood action film. He could be comfortably settled into that world quite nicely now, but here he is in this fairly well received action film. Quite hard to fathom why, really, when what we have is a fairly standard, join the dots piece of work, with unexciting action scenes that are too sped up and hyper kinetic to make any impact. While Reeves broods, and does the action hero typeset that he's so suited to, singer Lily Allen's brother Alfie appears as the despicable young villain, and the likes of Willem Dafoe and John Leguizamo are drafted in as support. Its appeal seemingly lies in its simplicity, with what seems to be a deliberately straightforward, uncomplicated plot that takes you from A to B pretty easily. It does this pretty competently, but rather than be an admirably simple bit of fun, it's just a piecemeal, ineffective affair that washes over you like rain. **",4 "Of all in the series this is far the worst. Lots of special effects, and visually stunning but a lack of story and sort of boring. Following the events is almost impossible. Very little dialogue. I really hoped for better. Hopefully this isn't a trend.",4 "The only way to describe this movie in one paragraph is it was like the first time a person has sex, it's hyped for about 2 or three years of your life till finally it's prom and you got the parents station wagon and you got a hotel in the country all set up for your first big night of love. Then you go to pick your date up and she's gotten braces over the weekend. OK, not the worst thing in the world. Then you slip and fall while shaking the dads hand and karate chop his balls and grab her mothers blouse and rip it off on the way down. Then on the way to the prom you get a flat and you go and change it and you get oil all over your tux. Then you go to the prom and you think it'll be so cool now that more people are being added to the mix. But it's not, and it sucks because there's now so much sexual tension built at this time the dudes don't wanna dance for fear of boners and the girls don't want to for the same reason... Then you finally leave and get out to the hotel and you think ah well, this whole night was crap but this will redeem it. This will make it all better... Then you realize she's got braces... And her hymen's still intact... And what ensues is 20 minutes of nothing but blood, pain, and screams of agony coming from both parties till eventually you can't even look at her anymore and you wont be able to jerk it for a month now because your scabbed penis needs time to heal.... Yeah thats what inception was like to me....Stick with Momento...esk stuff dude",2 "Everybody did a good job but it was Abhishek Bachchan for whom I rooted for. I got hooked with his track after his character Bittu meets Mini(Inayat Varma). Their chemistry was heartwarming and a delight to watch. His scene where he meets his daughter makes you emotional. He is outstanding in the scene where he meets his daughter after a long time. Also, the way he gets into his brilliant angry mode and plays the role of a tough guy who has a soft heart with a lot of brooding intensity. Abhishek Bachchan is truly a gem for Indian cinema ... He has so much potential and he never copies his father (he is so much different) so he shouldn't be compared with his father just because he looks like his father and people are jealous of his handsome personality (and luck as well).

And i really want to say that, i cried when i was watching the final of the series. Man... i love it so much. Just watch it if you didnt yet",9 "Generally, I did not write any comment in here. However, in order to tell the producer what I really want them to keep in season three, I am here to share my view with the hope that they are able to notice. I must say Season Two is far better than Season One. Please keep this way to tell audience the story. Simple timeline, interesting story and beautiful scene are what the fans want. As season one made me very disappointed, season two really surprised me. I am glad to see this series can get on the right track by making the story easier to understand. Also, there are more kinds of monsters for the witchers to handle. The introduction of Wild Hunt at this season is impressive. I am looking forward to the next season. Thank you guys for making this extraordinary season two during the pandemic.",9 "I was very impressed with how amazing this turned out. Yet I only went cause I had time between jobs. Was not disappointed at all. The story is very gripping.. I thought it was going to be predictable but nope. I was very surprised and impressed. I so can't wait to buy this so I can watch it again. The acting was phenomenal and the story telling had me hooked. Didn't have many jump scenes but plenty of scenes that would make you cringe. Miranda Otto was phenomenal in this. All of the new faces in this were just as good as well. Again, it gripped my attention very well. I do highly recommend this one to watch. Even if it is just one time.",9 "No plot. Characters are meh - Brad Pitt is pretty cool, Dicaprio is fine, Robbie's entire role consists of going to the cinema and not paying for a ticket and then being pregnant. Annoying little girl, annoying hippie characters, plotlines that lead to nowhere. Only one thing can save a movie with no plot and unexceptional characters: humour. Humour in this movie, for the most part, consists of such gems as 'isn't it funny when people do drugs?', and 'this woman has an Italian accent!' I love Tarantino, but I don't know what this is. It's worse than Death Proof. Oh, and the foot fetish came out far too much this time, Quentin. I'm 90% sure that Margot Robbie was hired entirely so he could have her feet onscreen.",3 "I found such a great movie after years from Bollywood. A perfect blend of everything. Romance, action, comedy, thrill everything and that too performed with absolute perfection. None of the cast felt overacting or seemed not able to go deep down the character. Absolute perfection. Even the role brought by fatima sheikh, a completely new character was brilliant. The beginning is so excellent that it grips you to watch entire movie in just 10 mins. Out of the box content and story. One of the best bollywood movies of all time. Managing so many casts is one of the most difficult task but Basu showed everything could be presented excellently, all you need is perfect cinematography and direction. The scenes and camera angles and all were so perfect. A MUST MUST MUST WATCH.",10 Even though I was not born in the 80's. I still do find this series to pay a perfect pitch homage to that era. It just about covers the 80's in a perfect sense for most people. Netflix has down a great job. When a movie company steps back and allows the room needed to be able to pull this off you get a great product. Double thumbs up!,9 "There was A LOT going on and it was very messy and just unnecessary. I don't regret having watched it but it is not even close to being my favorite mcu movie. 3,5/10.",4 "I find all the characters annoying and largely unbelievable. Maybe theater lovers see something I don't? The writing feels pretentious and so desperate to be funny that it just becomes awkward. Selena Gomez doesn't feel natural and is more suited for music than film. Can't fault her for taking this opportunity, though. Also, I never realized how annoying Martin Short's voice can be. If I had to pick a favorite it would be Steve Martin. He gets 1 star, and the theme song is catchy so 1 for it. Overall, everything put together feels like a waste of time and like all of these amazing resources would've been better spent elsewhere.",2 Direction is just fantastic Acting by Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam is Amazing. Paresh rawal is undoubtedly the best.,10 "The show starts slow in season 1 but gradually becomes more and more interesting, characters' development is really well done. Of course, the storylines in every season are well-oiled, and if you're a big Marvel's fan, the show follows all the big events happening in the movies. A must watch tv series in my opinion",10 "I am of a generation whose parents fought in WWII and grandparents fought in WWI and have despaired of late as those who went through hardships of war during the last century are scorned by those whose lives have never seen such struggle. I was brought up on films of WWII less so WWI but its reputation, whilst hidden in hindsight was of far greater brutality. I read many flattering headlines about 1917 but little more, I didn't want to have anything spoiled. I had great expectations. As the film opened, it was clear that it was taking an unconventional path which I went along with for a while but it wasn't long before I thought I was watching a walkthrough of a game. The longer it went on, the more I felt like there was an invisible person next to me with a controller. It wasn't just the scenes with target props, single serving characters and geography which made no sense. Being careful not to give spoilers, one moment there are just two people in a quiet rural scene, then there is an action to introduce another, then two, no three soldiers appear from nowhere and then behind a building, there is a whole squad who inexplicably had not heard a dramatic incident that had happened a hundred feet away. Likewise a scene where that squad exits just as the remaining protagonist comes under fire. Why do the squad not provide cover? Are they deaf? No, it wasn't just these things, it was the photography which panned just as the PoV changes in a game to keep up with the character. There were moments when I genuinely half expected elements to pass through each other the way they used to render in early video games and there was a real feeling of 'unrealness' that the whole thing had been one big deep fake. There was some real war horror in the film but I felt that the video game effect cheapened the whole thing as if it had been made to pander to a particular demographic whose attention could only be maintained by such dynamics. I was wondering where I had seen this recently and remembered seeing a James Bond film at a relative's house over Christmas and was struck by the contrast to the James Bond films I watched in my youth. All in all, I felt that it was some kind of triumph but lacked so much and it is an example of one of the reasons why I don't go to the cinema very often anymore. I wouldn't discourage anybody from watching it but it was far less than I hoped it would be.",4 "Jab We Met is a movie which is okay but not great. It is with Kareena Kapoor and her former boyfriend Shahid Kapur whom I feel is too short for her as far as chemistry on screen goes. The only person whom Shahid Kapur would not seem odd being paired up with is Amrita Rao. I think the main thing which is missing in this movie is chemistry between the actors. Anyways, Jab We Met is a fairly odd movie which centers around the meeting of two people, Aditya (Kapur) and Geet (Kapoor). Aditya who seems to be going through a tremulous private and professional life aimlessly boards a train and meets a bubbly blabbermouth (Geet) whom he eventually gets stranded with. Aditya unknowingly falls in love with Geet through the entire process of getting her back to Punjab so that she can meet her family, then go to Kashmir to elope with this guy whom she thought she loved. However, Geet's family is under the misconception that she is getting married to Aditya when she actually wants to get married to Anshuman (elope-guy). There are some funny moments in Jab We Met, like when they meet Geet's Punjabi grandfather, or when Anshuman ends up meeting Geet's family for the first time. Kareena Kapoor overacted a bit, but it is still a movie to check out if you like any of the actors.",6 "Sometimes I wonder if I saw the same movie other reviewers write about. So many here say it had no plot or if it did have any, it was a mess none could make any sense of. Well the movie I saw had a very straightforward plot which I followed without any difficulty and the people watching it with me didn't seem to complain. Yes I do agree, the acting was top notch. I will mention Tom Hardy who does superbly as Eddie Brock, and seems to be the voice of Venom too, which is one of the best voice acting I've seen (or heard) in a very long time. Another one that deserves mentioning is Woody Harrelson who seems to enjoy playing psychotic killers and gives a stellar performance as the tormented but utterly deranged Cletus Kasady. All the others are very good too or at least very professional. The movie follows the first installment's most important aspect (in my personal book) that is the savage nature of Venom is here straight from the comics books just as he was originally conceived and for me, that deserves special appreciation. The writers and creators of this movie, like those who started the franchise do understand the nature of the beast - the entire thing wouldn't be worthy of our time without this understanding. Regarding the sense of humor demonstrated throughout the movie - it's always very dark and wry humor, never a LOL but rather some wry smiles or maybe a chuckle here and there. I don't think LOL comedy would suit this movie, while the wry dark humor suits it to perfection. Bottom line - that's Venom - violent, savage, dark and maybe a bit chaotic, but not in a way that makes it impossible to follow and understand. That's the nature of the beast, as I said already - the entire movie makes sense only this way and I like it if only for the fact it dares going through with this bizarre type of hero all the way.",8 "I never thought that I would see the day where I would find nothing, absolutely nothing good about a production. Gen V takes characters with no likeability, and turns them into 4th wall breaking hate for the character. In fact, even though the acting is amazing, especially seeing someone try to discern reactions from the nearly unreadable dialog, is amazing in itself, I find it difficult not to unfairly hate the actors playing these rolls, for doing a good enough job that I think perhaps the show might improve. It does not improve. Don't know what to write during scenes that should contain age appropriate dialog? No problem, just jam a rediculous, unrealistic, grossly filmed sex scene just because. Trying to make sense of a no plotline plot and cant' do it? That's Gen V's ""schtyle"". It's not good. It's not even related to THE BOYS, other than by a few name drops. THE BOYS uses V as an explanation for super powers that follow the laws of nature, while Gen V is basically using ""magic"" to explain rediculous ""powers"". Other than one 30 second scene involving puppets, which I am sure you can find on youtube as a slight amusement, do not watch this complete and utter garbage. If you do, you will be angry at yourself.",2 "The whole series is perfect, except there are some things are not known to you if they had a timeline of every scene is shown in the starting it will be great.",8 "After watching 10 episodes in a single day, i realised this series is truly mesmerizing.",9 "Don't go in expecting a meticulous storyline-I knew I was getting a balls-to-the-wall, heart-pounding, gritty gun galore epic from the gods that'll refuse to take a chill pill every time down... but I simply did not get excited as intended. I'm a sucker for revenge reels, but this had a stubborn Michael Bay-type flair to it that collapsed my suspension of disbelief in a snap.",4 "First of all Sherlock IS great TV, I have enjoyed it immensely and at it's best it is captivating as only the best shows are, however nothing is perfect, well maybe Firefly was on occasion and there are a few things that in my humble television watching opinion don't ring true. The writing and filming - while good it is not in the great, there are a few too many clunky lines, plot motifs and contemporary visual gimmicks, they won't date well, also Gatiss is a little too campy in his writing for my taste, but it's hard to criticise his reverence and love for the material but it can feel very light and contrived. The acting - This is going to sound like a rant, it's not meant to be, this is some wishful thinking on my part that would make Sherlock better than it already is. Cumberbatch is special, Freeman is NOT, I'm astounded by his woodenness, don't say it's underplaying, it's not. I had not been impressed by Jude Law's acting ability but the chemistry between Law and Downey as Watson and Holmes has been plain to see. Freeman is the major weak link in this TV production and at times he is unbearable to watch, it is testament to other cast members that it's not ruined by Freeman's performance, he just does not have the acting chops, what a lucky bugger that he is to be a likable every-man type, he must also have an amazing agent. Una Stubbs - miscast, another likable actress, but far too light and nice for the role, there is very little of the depth and playfulness that could be there in the relationship between her and Holmes. Rupert Graves - Again the conviction is not quite there, Graves was fantastic in Wallander, not here, why? Lestrade should be a key support role, but he feels very bland, maybe the police stereotypes are just too dull and numerous and the script does not allow for any more. Supporting acting, there has been some great supporting acting notably from Loo Brealey, Zoe Telford and Lara Pulver, but there is also some acting that is not up to the same standard and therefore jars when mixed in with convincing performances. Mark Gatiss, Vinette Robinson are not strong and the wider supporting casting is sub par with perhaps a little too much latitude to young fresh talent rather than those who have trodden the boards for some time. Andrew Scotts performance I feel sits somewhere in the middle with Graves, a good actor with some clunky dialogue opposite a very great actor, Cumberbatch. Sherlock has almost unbreakable subject matter, only the worst Holmes productions are stinkers, how could they fail to have a hit, how much better it could be though!",8 "I do have to give credit to Ron Howard for trying so hard to show us the power of the mind to overcome all obstacles. Howard's heart was in the right place, but unfortunately, the movie failed to demonstrate the intended message. John Nash does not overcome his obstacles completely. In fact, he is not completely able to function until he does take medication. While his struggle is appreciated, he isn't fully able to overcome his daemons, leaving this viewer feeling only despair at the end of the movie.",2 "Barbie is a modern fantasy with lots of metaphors about existentialism & feminism, and how everybody (men & women) should get equal opportunity. The archetypal Barbie & Ken have fulfilling story arcs. As do the main human characters when Barbie World and the Real World collide. That collision is a big part of making this a fantasy. It looks and sounds great. Its messages are fab. It'll annoy the right people. It's a big-budget Gerwig & Baumbach film. I love their films. I loved this. I'll be making at least one more trip to the cinema to see it again, and it'll be an instant buy when available on iTunes.",10 "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (Sam and Bucky) deal with life in the post-blip world. This is an enjoyable series that presents some good character arcs, develops the MCU world on Earth following the events of 'Avengers: Endgame' and tackles some interesting social themes. The plot is quite character focussed, with the Sam and Bucky going through some contrasting and compelling journeys as they deal with the post-blip threat posed by The Flag Smashers. Throughout this there are some fairly explicit commentaries on racial divides in America and America's policies towards the outside world. Most of it is done very well aside from one ridiculously over-the-top speech in the final episode. Sam and Bucky just about carry the show as lead characters, but the best moments for me involve other characters such as John Walker, Isiah Bradley and one villain previously introduced in an MCU movie. The visuals as you can imagine are spectacular, with impressive looking effects and hyperkinetic action sequences. At times the cinematography made me feel a bit giddy but it is mostly very good and there are some memorable images involving the Captain America shield. Most performances were solid. Sabastian Stan and Anthony Mackie have a good chemistry, but some of the ""buddy"" banter between them in the early episodes feels quite forced. For me this is down to the material and not their performances. Stan is actually quite excellent in the more emotional scenes. Carl Lumbly has some brief but superb moments. Wyatt Russell, who quite scarily resembles both his mother and father, gives for me the most memorable performance of the show. My only disappointment was Erin Kellyman who doesn't really have a powerful enough presence for the role she is cast.",7 The green hat that finally reversed made the anger that insisted on the eight episodes seem to be nothing. This is not important. What is important is the irony of the collusion between capital belief and mass consumerism. The people watching this episode are desperate! What is the significance of individual resistance?,8 I was a bit disappointed by age of ultron..but I think it laid a good foundation for the Civil war.. The movie is one of the best movies I have seen.. The action was brilliant. The emotional scenes had depth and overall we can see each character getting developed. It had some really funny scenes as well which balanced out the pace well. There are some really cool stuffs which made me and close to 200 other audience members scream and we all stood up and clapped at the end.. Even though there were lot of superheroes it never felt a crowd. Each had there own stories and every single character had some interaction with captain America. brace yourselves Spider man is coming....,10 Final saw this movie to link with what happens in infinity war. I could get over how they make it seem like he might be Asian or he might not. Same for the master.,2 It's wonderful about the amazing of Khonsu power it's look realistic and make sense. I love the actor/actress they are so perfect with characters and the content of series are interesting it's can convince me to watching continue ex. The end of Moonknight ep.1 that make me think this is the series I need everrrrr that so cool I wanna cry and goosebump at the same time I need more Season 2. I like this series choose believing of people in Egypt that I know about the god in Egypt more and I has to search that on internet that interesting. I think this is my favorite series sameeeeeee you gotta watch this.,8 "I call this objective because my critique is non-emotional as some seem to be. A large number of people appear to rate this movie low because they don't like Jennifer Lawrence. Yes, she was the protagonist, but this wasn't the whole story-line. That is my first remark which merely points out my perception. Pros - The story line was good and had enough twists to avoid being overly predictable Next, --- well, that is pretty much the only positive remark I can make (which gives toward the three stars) Cons - No decent Russian Accent It does not adapt to the Russian life-style - for example, in Russia or any other former Soviet state, you would not walk right into someones apartment or house without kicking your shoes off at the door - that is just the culture. Additionally, there was a portion of a sentence in Russian - it didn't feel authentic because of this. Living in Russia has made me more nit-picky I guess - but some aspects of the Russian culture are blatantly in your face and were avoided in the movie. It dragged in a number of places where it could have been compressed to get the point across - this ultimately made it a movie that was much longer than necessary. Therefore, it also provided moments of napping. ------ For those tearing the moving apart commenting that is was filled with pornography and sexual sadism, they are exaggerating greatly. There were only two scenes of nudity; one of a man, the other of Jen Lawrence - neither of which was full and they were both only seconds of time. If you have money to throw away or MoviePass - and the time - go see it - otherwise, check it out of RedBox when it is out on DVD or BlueRay. I have tried to provide a balanced review. I hope I have accomplished this.",3 "John Wick(ed) used over a 500 bullets, I stopped counting after 30 minutes. The acting is a one=pose acting. All movie the same Keanu look. The plot is thin as exhaled smoke of a menthol cigarette. No bullet came even close to JW. When his wife passed away, he took himself a puppy-dog, the only affection he showed in the movie, sorry and for his car, a great car, a Mustang. The car was stolen by the sun of a godfather en he killed the dog, it was a young nice puppy, no need to be killed. Then John filled and refilled all the guns he had.It took him a couple a days to kill everyone with a gun. The police had a day off, I suppose",3 "Hi there. It is September 2016, more than a decade this this series was done, and I will be your reviewer this evening. Our menu is simple -- we are only offering just one review and that review only comes with the very rare ""perfect score"" of 10. Sorry, no substitutions. I am a prolific reviewer here (over 1350 reviews) which is a polite way of saying I watch too much TV and have too much time on my hands. When I first watched this series I made the same ""mistake"" most reviewers do when reviewing anything for the first time. As good as it was, I ""assumed"" that over time something better would appear. But that never happened. So after 10 years I have given up. I just rewatched the whole series top to bottom and currently have a nice endorphin buzz going because this astonishing series just gets better as you go, and the final episode just plants a big smile on your face. Perfect writing, direction, story, dialog, animation, characters. And all with a chewy moral center. (And some really deep metaphysical concepts -- like the island where everything is connected. That is a reference to one of the oldest religions in the world.) I know what you are thinking. I tried to get into Korra but all I kept seeing there were the many errors the producers made in trying to improve on something which simply cannot be improved on. It is official. I am calling it. The best overall series in the history of TV. And it just gets better with age. ((Designated ""IMDb Top Reviewer."" Please check out my list ""167+ Nearly-Perfect Movies (with the occasional Anime or TV miniseries) you can/should see again and again (1932 to the present))",10 "Like many others I cannot see this as a work of genius at all and believe this to be a really stupid movie. The dream team that can manipulate your dreams and waking ideas - Yeah Right - 'in your dreams'. That about sums it all up. The movie writes it's own rule book regarding dreams and assumes that time moves exponentially more slowly when you dream within dreams. There is no evidence for this as fact and my experience and understanding is that dreams can go both ways - sometimes an epic takes minutes and others an action takes hours. So having said that the whole conceptual context falls apart and crumbles into absurdity. And why would movement in a dream affect a dream within a dream as occurs in this movie? When you dream you leave the real world behind - until you awaken. This movie has been compared with the Matrix trilogy. Well it blatantly rips it off but that's another dream - or rather a fantasy. This movie doesn't even come close to Matrix which was truly original and at a stretch even plausible. This isn't.",1 "After a very very long time have I had so much fun watching a movie. When released it was a huge hit, to be honest I am not surprised. Watching this movie reminds me of the Manmohan Desai movies where action, drama and comedy is all packaged into one film. The result is a far from boring fare from first time director Farah Khan. Farah Khan should be applauded for creating such a fine film. All the main leads were great but Shah Rukh Khan stole the show. All the characters, such as Boman Irani were great. Suniel Shetty in a negative role on the other hand was average. The songs by Anu Malik were superb. My favourites are the title song and Tumse milke dil ka jo haal. This is probably his best soundtrack in a while. In one word Awesome.",9 "Very poor detective movie, also if being mediocre wasn't bad enough, in the ending protagonist makes such a terrible choice you will dislike this movie forever.",2 "I am amazed at the reception this movie gets. All you need to do is watch the French movie Le Diner De Cons (Or Dinner Game) to understand why I have given this a rating of 2. It simply is a frame-for-frame copy. I haven't seen plagiarism so blatant in a Bollywood movie. Even simple scenes like showing the doctor the bathroom, the dogs in the car, reference to phrases like nymphomaniac are straight lifts. All Sameer Bellary and his team has done is to hire translators instead of screenplay writers. Bheja Fry beats everything what people like Sanjay Gupta and Anurag Basu have done before. However, watch the French movie. Highly recommended.",2 "I don't know where this is going. If I wanted to watch a show from the 60s , Id never turn this or that on. Slapstick stupid humor ... My neighbor is an alien kinda humor . Not for me .",1 Best indian thriller .. Learn bollywood from these regional,10 I think that this movie isn't best movie in bong junho director. But you can watch this movie for understanding his movies.,6 "...nothing else. Weak comedy, overused origin story, terrible acting. How people are giving this movie a 7 is beyond me. Feel free to skip this one, it should never have made it past preproduction.",2 "Not the Greatest. The first one was, by comparison, the greatest, at least thus far. The second one seems hollow. It does have it's moments, but it's in what it has failed to do that is really the films downfall. Stark is a narcissistic alcoholic. That is the fact of his character in the comic books and probably why Robert Downey Junior was chosen for the role. They touched on it in Iron Man, the touched lightly on it in The Avengers. Iron Man two has it as sort of a focus, but rather than making Stark the flawed character, or even as a driving part of the plot, they give him an illness to inspire a YOLO effect as an out. The movie suffers for it, as a whole. The illness is a cheap sub-plot that was substituted for real demons. Instead of bringing him over that hill, they never let him cross it, they never let him grow stronger for the experience. As a result, you have a decent enough plot with a gaping hole of cream-filled uselessness in the center. Looking back, it's not a bad movie, it could have been great, it just lacked the brass to go there.",1 "If you only want good effects, specially on 3D, you will like it. If you care about story and realism, forget it. Since was a space movie I was expecting some professionalism. Not necessarily like Apollo 13, but at least a little. Oh boy I was wrong. From beginning you can tell this is going to be bad. I mean, is like I am not watching real astronauts. For example in the beginning you see one of the main characters flying around wasting fuel just doing pointless spins around the ship. Really? Just go around over and over while talking like they are in high school? When they suppose to be doing a serious mission. Was too obvious from beginning that was going to be another effect parade, and story just was an excuse to show it. They try to put the emotional parts, but for me they fail. Sad parts don't make it a good story. Maybe what I hate the most was George Clooney character. I don't know if is Clooney fault or writer fault, but that character was just too cocky. Too ""not-real-astronaut-like"". I don't know how to explain. Is a space clown, but with hero write all over it to try to make you like him. Surrealism is very common on Hollywood. Sometimes we forgive some of that for the entertainment or for a good story. But this time don't work at all. Good effects is not enough to make a good movie! Worst movie? No. Visual effects was nice and at least that part I did enjoy. Gets old after a while, though. That is where the ""good"" story should get in. It never comes on Gravity. After a while I counted the minutes to the end. Summary: pointless, boring, good visual effects, music was good enough.",2 Sound like they were reading a script. It had no feeling or heart.,4 Quantin Tarantino's movies are always weird but some of them are quite fun. But this one is all up boring. Not sure what the director is trying to say in the movie instead of making as weird as possible. The only good part is the ending that is over the top yet violently explosive. Typical Quantin Tarantino's style that ends everything in a messy and bloody way. It is a personal stylish movie but not more than that.,4 "Storytelling is a talent and not everyone is good at being able to tell a compelling and fun story in 2 hours. There is no reason for this movie to be 3.5 hours long when its story could easily be fit into 2 hours or less. It's almost like they refused to edit the movie down to an acceptable level because they felt bad about removing anything they filmed so they just ended up with a product that's far too long. You know a movie is too long when it continues on for another 45-50 minutes after its main story ends. A movie's prologue shouldn't be that long. By about halfway you lose track of who is who, who is allied with who, who is whose enemy, what the beef is even about between these characters and quite frankly, you even stop caring about it and you just want the movie to be over but it goes on and on and on for another 2 hours after that. This is not art. This is just work of a director who doesn't know how to let go and how to tell a good story in under 2 hours.",4 "How are they getting to show this drivel. Bolder than GOT. Are thy on something, acting is shocking, are all these people with the high reviews related to the cast or production 🤔 Sorry very boring. Just poor. No characters are capable of grabbing my attention. It's a c series not even b of GOT. Hopefully season 2 will have got rid of the plastic actors and invest on better actors and producers. This is well over hyped. Really sorry just don't care if its on or not. I was so wanting to like this show but can't get the point or feel for any of the characters who have just came off a soap series.",1 "Spiderman is back and he's kicking butt. Unfortunately, his alter-ego Peter Parker (Maguire) is having a hard time multi-tasking and everything in his life is suffering. He is failing in college, he can't hold down a job, his aunt is losing her house, and (seemingly most important to Peter) while he's Spiderman he can't romance Mary Jane Watson (Dunst). To make matters worse, Harry Osborn, (Franco) Parker's best friend, keeps harassing Peter to tell him where he can find Spiderman so he can avenge his father. When Parker's school career comes down to a paper that he is writing on Dr. Otto Octavius (Molina), Parker is delighted when Osborn offers to introduce the two, since his company is funding Octavius' research. The two strike up a repoire, but unfortunately, the next day an experiment in fusion goes horribly wrong and Octavius ends up with four metal limbs with minds of their own fused to his spine. Because he has lost everything, (including his mind) Octavius (now known as Doc Ock) goes on a mission to redo the experiment, wreaking havoc on the city along the way. Meanwhile, Parker has decided to give up his double life so that he can concentrate on his life, so he has to make some tough decisions about his future, and the future of Spiderman. When I saw the first ""Spiderman"", I was entertained but I wasn't amazed. I found the effects to be too cartoonish, and the story to be pretty lacking. In the case of ""Spiderman 2"" I found the story to be better and more compelling (the amount of conflict that arose was decent) and the special effects were definitely better, but again, I was less than amazed. I certainly didn't see the need for it to be on the IMDb Top 250 list, and it doesn't surprise me that it has fallen off, but from the reviews (both professional and from friends) I read and heard I expected a lot more. The acting was about on par with most action films; meaning it was okay but not great. (Although I still can't stand Kirsten Dunst.) Unfortunately, the best actor in the film was woefully underused, which was a disappointment mainly because he was the villain. Alfred Molina is a fantastic character actor and I think that he could have really made the role of Doc Ock great if he had only been given a sufficient amount of screen time. He didn't get to chew the scenery as much as Dafoe did in the first ""Spiderman"" film, and I think the movie suffered for it. While the story was better this time around, and the special effects didn't make me cringe at times, I'm still unimpressed by this franchise. Considering I'm a fan of Raimi's other work, and I used to read Spiderman in comic form I think I should be a little more excited with the film than I am. It gets a 5/10 from me. --Shelly",5 "Another moronic super hero film my kids made me watch. Asinine, puerile and pointless. Avoid at any cost.",2 "The music is certainly catchy and some of the images look pretty (""a million dreams"" has the best visuals). Hugh Jackman also does a great job in this production. I think the only thing that's really clunky is the story itself. It works good as an acceptable movie. Enjoyable, but nothing specifically new or exciting about the narrative.",6 "I saw this movie this evening with a feeling of anticipation. After ""Moonrise Kingdom"" (my own personal Anderson favorite), I was somewhat skeptical that he could top my favorite, and my skepticism was justified. It was colorful, and had quite a few laughs, but that's about it. A lot of actors were quite simply under-used. Tilda Swinton had so little to do that a simple portrait of her would have sufficed. Bill Murray with his oh-so-obvious American accent was totally out of place. I suppose if I had read the works of Stefan Zweig, I might have enjoyed this movie more than I did. But then there's the possibility that I wouldn't have enjoyed Zweig either. Over the years, I have come to judge movies by whether or not I would want to view it more than once, and perhaps purchase a copy of it. I have a copy of ""Moonrise Kingdom"" which I have viewed a number of times. It is part of small collection that I like to watch on occasion. Sadly, ""The Grand Budapest Hotel"" will never be part of this collection.",5 "Can't believe I never reviewed this yet, I was convinced I had. The premiere in 2016 hooked me and never let me go. The show that arguably launched streaming into the mainstream. Stranger Things is pure nostalgia magic. But saying it just does undersells pretty much every other aspect of the show. Exceptionally solid actors and characters, excellent writing, incredible score, the list goes on. As far as seasons go, season one is essentially perfect, enough mystery to want more but simple enough to be loved and enjoyed. Captured the magic of the 80s, even if you haven't lived those years. The childlike fun, it takes you right back. Season 2 and 3 try to repeat this but mostly miss out on some of the elements that made season 1, and now season 4 as well.. Horror. They both contain much more mystery and horror and that is one of the big pulls imo of this show, get you on your toes once in a while. S2-3 where focused more on fun, and went a bit too far with the whole Russian mall plot in S3. I can't overstate how good Season 4 is and feels like a comeback, back to form and for that I cannot wait to see the next season. Stranger Things has a unique hold on 80s nostalgia, a combination of fun and horror. Season 4 manages to really expand on Eleven's story and gives a ton of meaningful depth on her character. We got lot's of time with Papa and everything surrounding it. The villain was good, though his form/the way he took shape didn't impress me as much, I wished it to be more disturbing/scary looking. But it's backstory is what gives the villain strength here. Also the underlying themes of mental health are well executed and never blatantly explained or anything, maybe I'm even reading into it too much but it's definitely the vibe I got. In general season 4 showcases a more diverse set of struggles which some characters have to deal with, sexuality, communication, rejection. Just a very diverse selection with a pretty big cast by now. Eddie Munson was a fantastic addition to season 4, he grew to be one of the most likable characters in a very short while even whilst they put us on the wrong foot. The stoner friend was alright but never a comedic relief I cared too much about. Directing has been rock solid the whole series so far, every shot looks beautiful and it just hooks you in. Just fantastic and never slacks. Set design as well, it so much 80s, it's perfectly done. Combined with the directing and editing the Music is just the finishing touch to making a perfect series like this. The songs are expertly chosen and this show does not shy away from using music as much as they can. Honestly, if they'd use less the show would feel completely different. But that synth is everywhere and you will always know you are watching something in 80s. This could also get old, but hasn't for me as of yet. Music plays a huge part in this show and it just elevates so many scenes, expertly chosen. Characters, what can I say, wat is there not to like? The writing is just so good for most of them, though sometimes it leans a bit too hard into comedy/cheese but it's alright. They toned it down a lot in S4, S3 being the worst offender of poor(er) writing. S4 story wise was some of the best, the three different storylines blending into one towards the end. But also the diversity of those storylines was what kept it all so interesting and great to watch. In particular here, even though it was the worst story in S3, the Soviet storyline in S4 was my favorite of the bunch. Harbour gives another excellent performance but Gellman and Ryder also give their best. Djuricko (Yuri) and Wlaschiha (Dimitri) also very great, well written and very enjoyable. The finale of S4 was great, did it need to be a single episode with a length of two and half hours? Not really, it could've been split up in my opinion. But still it was great, though the stakes were lower in the end than I had hoped (even though that would've hurt). Though whereas other seasons didn't end on as heavy of a cliffhanger, this one did. And we know exactly what were are in for with Season 5. The final season. Regarding music, notably they used the ''When It's Cold I Like to Die.'' and my god, that's one heavy song that slapped me in the face, I've heard it before so I knew what was coming after those first few piano notes. Great choice but a gut puncher. I would have a lot more to say if I edited this review season by season but I never did until now, too late. I'm sure this series will go down as one of the big ones. Maybe it already is but it still needs to stick the landing. And I can't wait for that. But I will be sad that a show like this will be hard to replicate again. You really do get jealous of people who lived the 80s, though of course, it's romanticized here by a lot.",9 "Well there are 3,413 reviews of this HBO miniseries on IMDb at the moment I type this. Many are from people who lived through the disaster. Their stories and memories put collected here are certainly; well I don't know of any words to explain this. But so why is it that I am diluting it being a foreign watcher of the movie? Well HBO needs more appraisal for what they have created. Chernobyl is not horror but more horrifying than most horrors. Throughout the series you feel constant fear as if you were there. HBO has done it so well doing justice by making scenes identical to real footage. Moreover, it is also tremendously scientifically accurate. The show grabs the natural attention of the viewers towards a real life tragic disaster and ensures not to disappoint them. Except, it portrays something of much more interest than just natural attention. Surely recommend to watch if you have time!;) Note: The only reason to why I've rated it a 9 is because I didn't understand some science demonstrated in it.",9 "It's actually undercovered political drama. How stupid screenplay it was. Always an emotional person can't take responsibilities judicially. Music, Background score and RR is awesome. In the name of real story,they missed real story",2 "Just amazing. One of the best series I've watched in this century, buffy the vampire slayer and this one give me the same chills. No teenagers, true storyline. Keeps you hooked. Nothing like any others in this genre.",10 An awesome plot with no lags . All actors were great . Awesome climax and well executed script,8 "I was very uncomfortable at times, partly because the dialogue and the accents of some characters were just shocking, but also because of the frequent 'battle calls' made by some of the characters. The whole thing stands and falls with the 4-5 children the couple now has, and unfortunately you care about exactly none of them. Especially Kiri for some reason I could not stand. This is not a movie for adults, and it is too long for kids to watch. So I'm not sure about the target audience. Maybe 13-16 year olds approximately, if they are patient and not easily bored. Another reviewer said it best: The only thing that you care about in the movie is the poor whale. Visuals are stunning, without that it would have been a solid 1 out of 10.",3 "Visually stunning with an intriguing story line. The lead actress was not great, but not as bad as some reviews would have you belief. Zach Grenier is awesome as the amoral fixer. Yeah, it could have been 6 episodes instead of 8, but overall an enjoyable sci-fi trip.",7 "My 8 yo enjoyed this movie, I reached at my phone 30 minutes into it and left to cook dinner half way. Pretty much all cg, great fake visuals everywhere and a repetive mention of the 80's, songs and movies, that I did not understand. Success guaranteed with 8 yo, stretchable to immature, nerdy 18 yo. That's it. RIP Steven Spielberg.",5 "I expected more from this movie being directed by Steven Spielberg. The story is backward and really confusing. The kid who started with a vivid blue eye when he is 7 years old ( at least looks like) when he is a teenager he has a brown eyes. That did not fly. A divorce that is not clear the reason why, but with vague suggested reason. The kid is totally clueless and the drama is confusing. I was expecting more from the personage since it started as a kid, but end up being with no purpose, especially at the end with an analogy that did not make sense. I would not recommend this movie to anyone.",5 "Started writing this review an hour into this film!!! What an absolute waste of time, complete turkey. Didn't think I would be able to sit through the full thing. This is the worst big budget film I have ever seen!!!! Poorly edited, is the shaky camera style still a thing? What was Reynolds thinking doing this? Shockingly bad writing and just a mess all round.",1 "I am a big fan of sci-fi and super-hero movies, but this.. It is sooooo slooooow. I recommend fast forwarding most of the first 2 hours, stopping mainly at scenes with Selina or Blake, not only because these characters are interesting and to the point, but since these are the only main characters free from these endless monologues and dialogues and.. even chanting.. I mean: Wow, how could this sleeping pill ever get higher ratings than Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy or DC Comics' own Green Lantern? Or the underrated Ant-Man 2. Also, I remember the original comic magazines and Marvel have always been rather dark (the last Spider Man movie is actually a bi too positive to match the original) but DC Comics including Bat Man always quite.. clunky. For example I remember how Bat Man in one magazine was chasing a villain called The Ghost, who was like a ghost, no kidding. Seems to me DC have stolen the gloominess from Marvel and let it reach epic proportions.. but still in a clunky way! And the voice! The silly guttural voice. Even when he talks to people who know he is Wayne. Seems to be no off-switch? And Gary Oldman, an incredible actor and one of my favorites, does a character so uninteresting and free from depth and.. character.. If you're aiming at a Ned Flanders imitation then you did very well but.. Please stop doing this, you can do so much better.",3 "I'm not really into horror and I postponed watching this when I learned that it was set in the 80's, as I like modern series and films. But this is more mystery/thriller than scary and the whole 80s scene actually worked in its favour. I don't want to give anything away, as I believe that the less you know about a TV show or movie, especially a thriller, the more you'll enjoy it. I'll just add that there are children, teenagers, adults (thankfully) and their paths all interconnect to create a gripping story, with a mix of drama, suspense and even some humour. I was quite surprised to see that many episodes were written by different people, as they all pick up where the previous one left off. This is one series that it's easy to binge watch, I couldn't wait to see what would come next. Of course this isn't for everyone. It's sort of sci-fi but there is more fiction than science. But if it's entertainment you're after, this delivers. 2022 June Update: I changed my rating from 9 to 7 after watching season four (until episode 7). I still think it's very good, but it feels like an introduction dragged over seven episodes and my favourite character didn't take a prominent role. Perhaps it's my taste that changed, or the pace has become a little too slow, making me wait too long for an interesting or good development.",7 "It's an interesting concept, the problem is it doesn't delve into anything meaningful. I found it to be incredibly cringe and childish (maybe I'm not the target audience, altough I play online games). CGI on the race track was unreal but in terms of plot and dialogue, it is just so cookie-cutter. Alright, maybe not the plot itself but the way it is executed is so Hollywood in a bad way. Got the daja vu feeling a number of times, altough on paper I've have not seen anything remotely similar.",4 "While I am not thrilled that the MCU has progressively gotten less grounded (especially with wild multiverse stories) since Phase 1, it is clear with Loki, Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania, Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, What If, and Spider-Man: No Way Home that the multi-verse is the heart of Phase 4! :-(. Being that the case, this show seems to set it all up, so it is critical. However, despite great acting and effects, the situations are much harder to relate to, and for me, less compelling :-(",6 "BARBIE is a film I find incredibly difficult to both review and rate. On the face of it, the trappings are pitiful and the tone is all over the place. The audience I saw it with were laughing at the dumbest jokes imaginable (like Gosling bouncing off the plastic wave) and missing all of the depth, which is what I personally found appealing. It's very hard to take such a tongue-in-cheek approach seriously, but then you could argue that it's deliberately bad, deliberately plasticky. Not that that excuses the bad acting from the likes of Ferrera et al. Despite this, the film's skewering of the patriarchy is spot-on, and Gosling turns out to be very good, stealing the film from the others. So it's a film I appreciate some parts of, and not others.",6 "I had mild expectations but I was really satisfied. Jeffrey Wright is great and has great presence. Of course I'm not gonna catch all the references since I'm white, but I got the point. I had this strange feeling halfway in the movie that it was gonna end like that, like the movie that we were seeing was the book that was being written and adapted. The ending got me a little baffled but that's the whole point. The comedy in this was hilarious and I laughed... a lot. I cried too. There were some intense moments rightly and truthfully portrayed by the greatness of the actors and the softness of the camera.",9 "Within the first ten minutes, the film's direction became evident. The story with few cheap scares felt like a rehashed version of a Stephen King's ""The Mist"", but lacking the depth and originality that made the latter so captivating. The main protagonist, an ignorant, smug 52-year-old single mother-to-be and the irritating supporting cast, a mix of clichéd and stereotypical characters, failed to elicit any genuine interest or empathy. On the contrary, you wish to see them die. The film suffered from a new low of lazy writing. Instead of exploring fresh ideas, the predictable story leaned on tired old tropes. This lack of creativity and originality made it challenging to connect with the events unfolding on-screen and made me wish I had a blindfold too, because watching it makes you wanna kill yourself too at some point.",1 "7 children born on the same day were adopted by Sir Reginald Hagrevees to become a family and a hero. They are known as Umbrella Academy. Season 1: The Umbrella Academy is an interesting, exciting and fun series. The series gives a new color to the story of superheroes. With a group of children who have different strengths, The Umbrella Academy is a favorite series. The premise of the story is interesting with superheroes who are now growing up and have their own lives. Able to introduce each member of his family well, has a light story and is full of comedy. A conflict that feels light to bring and easy to follow. This season, however, has been a bit less satisfied with the prolonged storyline and dialogue. This season has a less dense and less powerful storyline. Season 2: The second season for The Umbrella Academy was quite memorable. The separation of the members of The Umbrella Academy makes matters more complicated and complicated. Each member has their own problems that are interesting storylines in this second season. This second season is still fun and exciting to watch. Still bringing the previous problems, this season is quite crucial as the journey of The Umbrella Academy story. Pieces of mystery from Sir Reginald Hagrevees' past begin to show. The concept of time travel that Number Five continues to talk about provides a picture and explanation that is quite plausible as a clue to the storyline and logic of this series. It will be very interesting to see the emergence of a new family and the life of Ben's character. Season 3: It's a pity how bad this third season of The Umbrella Academy is. It looks promising at the beginning of the promotion, but it is very bad when you watch it. Worst of all, they had made the series bad during the first episode. Introducing The Sparrow family is quite short, clear and concise makes a first impression that is so quickly forgotten and will not understand how the family exists in their world as a hero. The Sparrow is only a stepping stone for Ben's character who for two seasons has been told to die and become a ghost who always accompanies Klauss. Of course, it is useless for the characters from The Sparrow who become unimportant and useless at all in this series. The appearance of The Sparrow only sweetens The Umbrella Academy's family conflict. Overall, this season lacked a lot and became the worst of the previous season. This can be seen from the storyline that looks messy, untidy in terms of conflict to too many characters being discussed and made important characters so that this season feels like it has no direction in telling the story. There is too much to reveal from Sir Reginald Hagrevees' past nor does it provide much new storyline.",7 "My main complaint with the first season was that the chronology was all jumble, to the point that it didn't make any sense until the latter episodes. Also, some of the practical effects were beyond bad. But apart from that, I found it quite enjoyable. As for the second season, it still feels jumbled even though it's mostly chronological. It's as if the show runners couldn't descide on wether the show is episodical or continuous, nor what the common thread of the season is. As it stands, more than fifty percent of the scenes feel out of place and out of context. Possibly the show runners thought this would create an epic feel, but sadly it doesn't. More of an amature feel. Henry Cavill and Freya Allen is a great cast though. Sadly they're not enough to save the show from itself.",5 "Despite the laughter that the film brought us, there are some details that must be emphasized and it is the cruel reality that existed in the war",7 "This is easentally the middle part of a story, the begining happens before this film starts and theres no end. its a litrally waste of time to watch, how can an entire full length movie feel like nothing more than a 10 minute introoduction, crammed with action for no real reason non of which has ANY consiquences with then zero resoloution to any single thing that happened. the writing is so obviously cliched too - any writer should be able to pick out every awful entry level writing trope.",2 "Believe the hype! A lukewarm start, caught cold, warm around the horror heart. The genre remains true to itself, but on top of a lot of masses, there are also some great ones every now and then, when you don't even expect them. There are certainly no completely new ideas, where should they come from, but at least a contemporary mixture of existing components with their own interpretation. In addition, there are many aha-moments, not only jump-scares, but scenes that go to the viewer's substance. The actors are not glossy but authentic, the effects are beyond reproach and even look handmade. All in all, definitely in the running for horror film of the year.",8 "Poor story,poor action,bad production,full of goofs.Watching this movie is fully a waste of time.",1 "This was a bit of a mishmash of a movie, I couldn't catch the tone. And the Carnage powers seemed to be unlimited and uncapped. Strange considering it came from a slice of Venom, but that's just alien symbiotes I guess. Who am I to assume their powers? Woody Harrelson was a bit woody hardly acting in this.",4 "Terrible film. Just don't go. It's a poor copy of Life is beautiful, just a try of an ironic view of the nazi tragedy. Bad and exaggerated acting. Scarlet Johansen terrible.",2 "This is another one of those highly over-popular films like the Lord of the rings trilogy. Of the main cast, the only two actors that I liked were Geoffrey Rush and Johnny Depp, but the rest, especially the over-pretty girl, all make me cringe. The people that made the film were obviously intending to make a swashbuckling classic, but instead they made a swashbuckling pile of cow diarrhoea. It is insulting in the memory of such real swashbuckling heroes of the cinema, such as Erroll Flynn. If this film had been made in the 1930s it would have been a million times better without a doubt, basically because it would be entirely different. I am going to get murdered by the entire world's population of women for saying this, but Orlando Bloom is nothing but another one of those really annoying pretty-boys, but, to be fair, that is just the opinion of an ugly teenager who has to go into school each week and watch all those bloody pretty-boys snogging whoever they want, while all the girls look at me and in disgust. But in my opinion, being ugly and being well aware of the fact isn't such a bad thing. It makes you wiser. But that has nothing to do with the film that I am reviewing so why the hell am I talking about it? Anyway this film is pointless and overlong and completely pathetic, and I am pretty sure that if pirates knew that this film was going to be made, they would have decided to become regular bank-robbers. 5/10 (I am giving it such a high score for Geoffrey Rush's sake. You rule Geoff.)",5 "From the word ""Go"", you already know that you are going to watch the legendary story of Sarat Chandra's Devdas, made in a new style by Anurag Kashyap. But the amazing thing is that while experiencing the movements on the screen, you neither remember K. L. Saigal or Dilip Kumar nor the recent Devdas, Shahrukh Khan. Anurag Kashyap unexpectedly takes you on to a completely different journey filled with alcohol, drugs, reality takes, abuse and sex. The movie is well made, well shot and well acted but crosses its limit of vulgarism, which makes it strictly enjoyable for only the adult audiences. It starts with the background of Punjab and its beautiful locations, moving into the lives of Dev & Paaro. This part of the movie is well executed but is also filled with surprising sexual dialogues, which are quite offensive at times for family audiences watching the movie in the theater. Abhay Deol as Dev is superb as he acts with such an ease and remains calm and cool throughout the first half. The charcaterisation of Paaro is the best among all the others in the movie and the initial one hour clearly belongs to her. Maahi Gill playing Paaro looks gorgeous and acts well in the difficult scenes without showing any reluctance. She has earlier acted in Punjabi Movies but has chosen a very bold flick as her debut in Hindi Cinema. So, she has to carefully watch her next steps in Bollywood. The confrontation scenes between Dev and Paaro are among the best in the movie directed remarkably. The next part is about Chanda, a teenage girl who with her own choice becomes a hooker in Delhi's famous Pahar Ganj area. Kalki playing Lenny or Chanda is just fine in her act as she has to face her limitations due to her foreigner looks. This part of the movie shows Abhay as a druggist, alcoholic and a person touching the bottom levels of his consciousness. Abhay plays his part with conviction and continues to impress with his different choice of movies. But in some scenes he seems to be repeating his ""Oye Lucky"" cool act, which requires his immediate attention, otherwise he is shaping his career real well. It was indeed pleasant to read in the titles that the concept of this movie was also given by Abhay Deol himself. Way to Go, Man! Amit Trivedi's music is not usual and therefore manages to stand out of the current lot. The track 'Emotionall Atyachaar' is a huge hit among youngsters due to his wackiness and rough appeal. Amit tries some Punjabi stuff but is unable to create the required Punjabi spirit in spite of having some well known singers from Punjab. Cinematography is worth watching in the scenes involving roads of Delhi, drugs & pubs. Punjab and its ambiance is also captured well in the first half of the movie. Now about director Anurag Kashyap and his vision of a modern Devdas. Anurag starts off brilliantly and after few minutes the viewer is sure that he is going to watch something great. But slowly the movie starts moving into an unexpected zone of distasteful dialogues incorporated deliberately to catch attention. And I myself witnessed a few families moving out of the theater after hearing some bold dialogues in the first half. Here I am not referring to some abusive language used in the scenes (which has now become a norm in our movies), but I mean strong suggestive sex dialogues, which you may have never heard before on the Indian silver screen. If this was done intentionally then the producers should have publicized the movie as a strictly adult version of Devdas and in turn would have saved some viewers from sudden embarrassment in the cinema halls. The interesting thing is that the movie has not got any bold hot scenes as such, but has far more impactful suggestive lines for a change. And strangely our Censor Board once again clears them all without any cuts. It's quite amazing that in one movie they insist on putting ""BEEP"" to all offensive words used in a scene (like in A Wednesday) and in another, they blindly pass such strong language used only to make a debatable impact. This time, Anurag also adopts the realistic approach in his movie as he uses real life incidents in the narration similar to the works of Madhur Bhandarkar. But the difference is in the approach of using the references. Whereas Madhur has always incorporated the real life incidents in a positive manner in his movies, Anurag uses them all in the most negative manner possible. The Delhi School MMS clip and The BMW Accident are the two incidents used by Anurag in Dev-D. In the storyline, the MMS Clip incident is the main reason why the young teenage girl (Lenny) turns into a hooker and in my opinion that was the most drastic and bizarre angle given to the real life plot by the director. Here I also felt that the director has used his creative liberty license way beyond its social and moral limitations. Anurag chooses to give his movie a feel of ""Trainspotting"" and maybe that is the reason why a Thanks Credit was given to ""Danny Boyle"" in the opening titles. But in his attempt to give a rustic feel to the project, he missed the emotional depth of the subject. No-where in the movie, we find Abhay as a lover boy with deep love in his heart for Paaro. So, it can be said that from artistic point of view the movie is impressive and worth watching but its content and execution might be offensive to many. And it is certainly not a family movie like all the earlier Devdas versions were.",6 "Avatar has: A derivative story that's been told better a million times before (shocking, given that the films/stories it rips off - like Pocahontas and Gone With The Wind - weren't good to begin with) A script with stale dialogue that's worse than most fan fiction and uses stereotypes in lieu of character development A juvenile plotline that's bereft of originality and feels like it was written in the 1950s Possibly the least likeable protagonist in a decade Unimaginative sci-fi tropes, mostly plagiarized from superior books and films Avatar targeted dim-witted popcorn-eaters and scored big with that disturbing large demographic. After being forced - for nearly 3 hours - to watch an idiot bumble his way through a video game environment that should have killed him in a matter of minutes, anyone with a better than room temperature IQ will find themselves frustrated beyond belief. This is especially true for people who have an elementary understanding of writing or filmmaking. James Cameron targeted the bottom of the bell curve and hit his mark with the finesse, subtlety, and intellectual verve of a Michael Bay film. If you thought 300 was a masterpiece, Avatar is for you. Everyone else should steer clear.",3 "Watch season 1.... maybe season 2 and be done. Good idea crapped on by lousy writing.. So much homage to Steven King and other shows it almost feels like you may find a story here...especially season 3. Season 3 is so Scooby Doo I expected a character to say. ""I'd have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids!"" Cue man in Fonzy leather jacket water ski jumping over the monster.",3 "All the Characters in this Movie Nailed the Acting Level and that make it More Realistic Movie and Three Gem's of Indian Cinema had Played the Characters so Perfectly I can't even express in words that are Manoj Bajpeey, Pankaj Tripathi and Nawaazuddin Siddeqi, I Personally suggest you go and watch this Move you will experience extraordinary work by indian cinema",10 "This movie 'avatar' is possibly the best selling movie of all time. the plot is brilliant and it is well written but it was a disappointment. i thought it was just TERRIBLE the CGI is amazing but it is just not for me i guess. lots of people were telling me to watch it and after months of holding it off i decided to give it a go.but i just don't understand why so many people like this...... I also feel that the movie dragged on a bit too long 'james cameron' was brilliant in making the classic titanic which is much better but i feel he has lost his touch since then it is a sci-fi Adventure type movie so if you like those kind of movies then go for it but if not then stay away from 'Avatar'. if you are a fan of james cameron the get a look at 'sanctum'",2 "I liked it very much. The series was very gripping and I couldn't stop thinking about the next episode. Jenna Ortega totally kills it. The other actors are great too. At first I thought it was going to be weak, but seriously, everyone - from a fan of romance to a fan of dark series - should watch it. The ending is surprising, I hope for a new season. I also appreciate that there was no boredom and each episode made you want to know more. I gave it 8/10 because the fight scenes were weak and disappointing, they could've worked on that. There were also a few unnecessary threads that were hyped. But, after all, it really does work. I liked it very much, and I totally recommend it!",8 "Nothing like a good scottish accent to give the character some street cred, and it is well carried by Richard Madden who plays the rôle of a seriously messed up war veteran turned cop. Like 'Line of Duty"" it centres on corruption, leaks, political ambition and terrorism within London, where any day someone can blow themselves and the surrounding crowds ........ blow them up without a second thought. Great acting again with a lot of the principals in 'Line of Duty"" showing off their chops in completely different parts.... yet being just as convincing. Keeley Hawes and Gina McKee are just flawless. This is a plot that demands your complete attention and if you miss a little clue then you'll be lost for a while until they cleverly give you a recap without ruining the storyline.( or on Netflix you can just rewind!) I love the way they portray the public schoolboy characters with their glib and educated responses, I love the way they show the pols as scheming and amoral vipers and I love the way they show the inside of the homes as they are in day to day life. If I had one complaint it was that some of the escape hatches they contrived for the plot were a bit hokey and some of the telecoms were too far fetched to believe. I mean, there's no police force in the world that can be as efficient as that. Even George W Bush couldn't get through on his phone from Air Force One when the 9/11 attack was unfolding and these guys are getting instantaneous contact with every cop in town and immediate response from databases. But , if you suspend your logic and tell yourself that this isn't real, then they have licence to play with the truth. Thoroughly enjoyable, with the writer trying to trick you at every turn. Watch and see if you fall for those tricks.",7 If you have seen a quiet place then I would suggest passing on this movie. The movie skips around a lot but the plot never gets any better. The concept is similar to I am Legend with the viruses but it's juts bad. Sandra Bullock does a good job but I had to stop it due to the incoherent plot and flat characters.,2 Characters and well develop and actors are very talented.,8 "Mads' acting is impeccable. The cinematography is so neat and manages to give you all the mood and atmosphere that the series must have the plots are great, but the dialogues are so annoying, boring great acting, great plot, great cinematography.",9 "I heard about it's low budget. But truely speaking while watching it, I never think about that, even it couldn't even crossed my mind that time.I was deeply spellbound by this one.Even coundn't blink my eyes thinking,I would miss any scene. I have watched lots of hindi movies but not like this one",10 "Dhaka is no way near like Kolkata! Its way more cleaner, the roads are nicer, and the cops are different, the cars are different. The whole environment is different than Kolkata! You cannot assume a country's capital city to a bordered city of a country! Didn't expect such planning and professionalism from Russo! Secondly, there is zero plot. I have never expected such movie from Chris Hemsworth!",1 "I feel films of this nature get a lot of emotive voting. I can understand why of course but I think due to this it has an over inflated rating. Looking subjectively without letting the topic and the obvious emotional ""baggage"" this type of film puts on people, I was somewhat disappointed. The acting I cant fault, the little cameos I enjoyed and the cinematography alone is an 8/10. The plot itself, was frankly a little dull and drawn out, there were a couple of times I got actually annoyed at the sometimes over the top droning music score to increase the tension when it wasn't needed. I give this a 6/10 but scrapes in at a 6/10 for me, many other films have done this topic in this manner far better. Ultimately, just over half the way in, I was getting bored, it simply was not really anything special and was not holding my attention. To avid ""fans"" if its even appropriate to say that, of this genre, they will definitely score this higher than me, but if like me, this is not your usual interest then I expect you will probably relate to this review.",6 "Courageous people can certainly find humor and irony in the most desperate situations. The lighthearted treatment of the hate and bigotry that led to the death of millions is not one of these. The attempt to do so in this movie is strained from the start, moves quickly to confusing, then embarrassing, then simply offensive. What's really frightening is the level of distortion and misinformation that serves as a backdrop for the more obvious schtick. Was there an attempt at an underlying message, sure. But it was lost in the trivialization of the Holocaust and catastrophe that was Naziism. As a paying member of the public, I felt not just bamboozled, but victimized, by this movie.",1 Be ready to start with Gravity an emotional and dramatic space story close to reality. I watched it on the flight from New York to Zurich by seat screen. With great special effects this movie kept all the running time my attention. It was never boring and as in The Martian the ingredients brought together a nonstop stunning trip in the universe around of our planet. See it and surprise yourself. 7/10.,7 "The Harry Potter universe has become one of the most lucrative and remarkable cinematic phenomena we know. Personally, I am one of many teenagers who read all the books and saw all the films but I was afraid when I heard about the idea of making this film. The environment is very different from what we saw in Harry Potter and, if it weren't for the mention of several elements we saw in previous films, the link would be very small. Accentuating the differences is the fact that this film takes place between World Wars and has New York as its setting. The idea for this film came from the small book ""Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"", and it follows the adventures of their fictional author, Newt Scamander. He goes to New York with a suitcase of little monsters, some of them escape and their eagerness to recapture them puts the city in an uproar and concerns the magical authorities. However, some incidents are attributed to Scamander's animals, who refute responsibilities and end up engaged in an effort to discover what powerful evil being has caused them. The story, dark and mysterious, manages to keep our interest but the prestige of Harry Potter universe and our willingness to see how it all will end helped a lot. In fact, now we can check all its problems, which make it more boring than the worst of Harry Potter films: it takes a long time to develop and the story, initially confusing, turns out to be illogical and underdeveloped. Another problem is their poorly developed and generally one-dimensional characters. Scamander may be nerdy but he lacks charisma and leadership. The Goldstein witches goes from naive to stubborn. Credence looks like a man with a traumatic depression and Kowalski is just an idiotic ""muggle"". David Yates did a good job. I am convinced that he was decisive in preventing this film from being a fiasco. In fact, with all the problems, the overall performance of the cast, mostly little known to me, is naturally affected and only the hand of a skilled director could help them. Despite being a good actor, Eddie Redmayne does not perform miracles and is far from his best. Dan Fogler managed to be more interesting and charismatic than he, in the same proportion that he knew how to be funny and to captivate public's sympathy. Alison Sudol also captures our sympathy by giving her character a candid and sweet aura, but she is so sugary and stupid that I wanted to hit her with a chair. Another actor able of becoming sympathetic was Ezra Miller, but I think he didn't have enough material to develop his character beyond anger and a depressive cry. Katherine Waterston was uninteresting. Colin Farrell is somber but doesn't seem to know what he's doing. Carmen Ejogo is hateful. Worse than she, Samantha Morton seems to have been inspired by the wicked witch of the fairy tales. We also have the additions of Ron Perlman, unrecognizable but impeccable, and Johnny Depp, who does nothing more than an irrelevant and uninteresting cameo. Technically, this is a very visual film, thanks to tons of very high quality CGI, as we would expect. Its an expensive film, a super-production where green screen was the key. As it should be, the film is loaded with magical creatures that we have never seen before and each one is more incredible than the other. I especially liked the niffler, which looks like a friendly kleptomaniac platypus. Cinematography is characterized by good colors, a misty but pleasant environment, good use of light and dark and very clear footage. To add aesthetic quality, we have the charm of the Thirties, the golden decade for New York. Few decades have given us so much charm and style: magnificent cars, clothes and props that are still in fashion today and an incredible urban landscape, where there is no lack of fog and rain. For a moment, I almost felt like I was in a gangster movie, just missing the jazz background. The soundtrack, by James Newton Howard, is good and epic, but it is not surprising for those who has seen Harry Potter. Although the film exudes style, it lacks content, good characters and a strong and charismatic lead. Anyway, it achieved a feat that even Harry Potter, who broke box office records, managed to achieve: finally the franchise won an Oscar, for Best Costume Design, which in fact was deserved.",5 "I don't understand the hype. I LOVE the book, but I found this movie confusing and trite, it felt like a conglomerate of fan service, anachronistic pop music, and awful pacing. The acting and casting were fine, but the overall execution is extremely poor in my opinion.",4 "I just loved this Series. Topic is so garceful. You cannot relate Series easily unitil you have been part of any Village in present or in past. Details are captured so well. And most important it's just a general life and very general issues people face in village. There are main characters but nothing heroic, there reactions will be very general as like any of us. Simplicity is just the key of this series.",9 "The film ""Bridge of Spies"" set during the cold war is a collection of banalities including a predictable plot, mediocre acting and dull music. The screenplay could have been much more thrilling if the writers would have followed the main events in a more historically accurate way. The real life of James B. Donovan was much more exciting than the one depicted in the film. He was a lawyer at the Nuremberg trials and was already a well-known lawyer when he took the Rudolf Abel case. Donovan did not see Berlin wall escapees being shot; the shootings, which were the most similar to the ones depicted were those associated with the killing of Peter Fechter that happened the summer after the Powers/Abel exchange on the Glienicke Bridge. The real life stories of the spies of that period offer rich material for a writer, however the Coen brothers took the most uninteresting segment of the espionage story. The characters are bland and forgettable. This is an example of a politically correct propaganda film showing the good work of the intelligence services. The film ""Bridge of Spies"" is boring and disappointing – a naïve film made for a naïve audience. It is clear that Spielberg is a populist and the master of banality.

That normally happens by a huge amount of talking between characters 2 ) Great suspense. & no not only endings 3 ) Extraordinary dialogues that give you a high - think "" You see I m not a monster - I m just ahead of the curve "" . Dunkirk had NOTHING of the above I think Nolan had a drink with Ram Gopal Varma ( hic )",6 "I recently watched ""Interstellar"" for a second time, initially having forgotten that I'd already seen it. My wife and did a lot of ""gee this looks familiar"". She remembered more of it than I did (odd, because my memories of movies is usually much better) and as we talked about it more and got to recalling the ending I said, ""This is *that* movie? That was terrible!"" I think I was so annoyed at the ending I'd blanked out having seen the movie at all. Second time through, I feel the same way about the ending. Terrible. ""Deus ex machina"". Ticked me off as much as the ending of ""Arrival"" did. And it's really a shame, because the rest of the movie was pretty well done. Nice world building, stunning visuals (if at times a bit too 2001- ish), pretty good acting, plot, pacing. I'd love to want to watch this again for all that. But I will never do that, I would not want to experience the ending again.",6 "This is an interesting show.It feels like a 80s mash.No,the plot is not generic.That is not one of its strengths(it is a mash of movies).The strength is that it mashes movies and makes it good.It uses the all the good stuff in the eighties and mixes them together into a blender.And it is a hell of a blender.",9 "99% of the movie is through a computer screen, which is fine I guess, but I think it limited a lot of what the movie could have done better. Plot was simple. A bit of a twist at the end. Overall I didn't like it that much. The acting of the father was good but a little intense/too dramatic in some scenes.",3 "Lilly continues to be annoying and a terrible actor. High school drama club level. And the pretentious of the whole thing is smothering. I love hard sci fi. This is not that. Merely folks pretending to be deep by staring into space or at random objects. The lingering on these shots is supposed to convey depth but comes across as shallow filmmaking. Example of how to do it right? Try Eastwood's Unforgiven. Different genre but it had quiet scenes with virtually no dialogue that expressed loss and pain unlike this trivial nonsense. And I love time travel but I also want to be entertained, challenged and enlightened by my sci fi. Epic fail here.",5 "Circumstances force Arun, an aspiring film director, to take up the job of a Sub Inspector after his father passes away.

After many people told me how wonderful and groundbreaking this film was I finally saw it and was disappointed. Willam Defoe is amazing as usual. In that I mean he's great at being Willem Defoe, sort of like how Pacino has become a character of himself in his movies. Robert Pattinson does a good job but is crushed by Defoe whenever they share screen time. I don't want to give anything away story wise but I will say this, if you're a fan of vague plots and open endings that you can interpret for yourself then this is for you. If you want to watch a movie that has substance and has a message it wants to impart on you, maybe skip it.",5 "I expected a lot more from this series. It does deliver some decent jokes, interesting new lore, however, after the end of the first season, it basically led nowhere. We have a terrifying possibility that may or may not come true, however, we dont actually kn ow what happens if it does, so what are the stakes again?! Tom Hiddleston is more or less wasted. He was great as a villain, but it seems like hes totally lost as the reluctant hero. Also the counterpart to our ""hero"" is forced. Like I mean Daenerys Targaryen, changing between ruthless psycho to quite lead, to untrusting partner, etc... Dont get me wrong, i wont say its not worth watching, but it doesnt even come close to anything like The Punisher or Daredevil. You should watch this when your bored, but dont expect anything very impressive.",7 "I haven't read any Witcher books or played any video games, so I'm reviewing this just as TV. The first series introduced some great characters and each episode stood alone as a fun adventure, as well as developing the longer personal stories of the main characters. The second series really lost its way, with seemingly random travel from crisis to crisis, driven by a vague ""destiny"" or unrelatable politics. I couldn't really tell you the plot and I finished it yesterday. They should've kept it more personal and left all that in the background because it's not compelling enough to be the focus. I hope there is more, and it finds its footing again, because it's about ready to collapse under its own weight.",7 "INCEPTION The dialogue in this film is preoccupied with explaining what is happening, rather than being natural. This is very possibly due to the director feeling the concept of the film was too complicated for mere cinema goers to comprehend and instead of enhancing the film as a good flowing natural dialogue might it in fact has a tendency to spoil the film. It is also very repetitive, continually repeating the rules of inception, the inner workings of the dream construction. It becomes very annoying and I'm sure Inception holds the world record for saying the word 'dream' more times than any other. There is a concept in teaching, developed by the Americans which goes like this, tell the people what you are going to teach them, then teach it to them, then tell them what is was you just taught them. It seems the director has adopted this method of explaining to the audience, just in case they are too stupid to get it for themselves, what the film is about and what is happening. Di Caprio who in my opinion is a talented actor that often picks challenging roles was neither commanding nor outstanding. Partly due to the lack of any real structure to the film as the whole thing seemed too fluid and poured out in a tsunami of CGI. Additionally there is no kind of character development, something Di Caprio is generally masterful at, leaving the film feeling hollow and a waste of an otherwise talented cast. Something Hollywood studios will often do when trying to portray highly intelligent criminals (or evil masterminds) is cast British actors, and it is noticeable in Inception that director Christopher Nolan has not broken away from the stereotype. A previous reviewer wrote ""The stupid dialog is there, because Nolan did not know, how to push the plot forward in an integrated way"" and i totally agree. I've heard a lot about how Inception is the new Matrix and I must confess I have never watched Matrix, I did sit down and try, on three occasions to do so, but all three times i fell asleep out of sheer boredom. That is not sarcasm it is real. I know the Matrix story as it's so well known, whether or not Inception is the new Matrix i cannot say but I can confess it's a fairly redundant mediocre film with an over contrived plot strung together by cliché action scenes. The plot concept is not so difficult to comprehend and seems to be hyped up for what it really is. The only real thought needed is that of the closing shot, (this is not a spoiler ).. does it tip or does it keep spinning? I smell a sequel. 3/10",3 "Season 2 was so extremely bad, that my eyes still hurt from watching it. They have introduced some new plot lines, which would be fine if they actually didn't suck. The whole season was so boring and uninteresting that I just skipped through most episodes. The writing was just dumb and infantile. Cavill's performance was solid, but other characters were absolutely terrible (Fringilla, Francesca). I used to be a fan of witcher but now I wish I had never seen this garbage. Hope Netflix cancels the show and someone else gets to do it right.",1 "This is a tough to review movie, as the younger generation (me) found this movie horrendously boring for the most part because it is a break the standard movie formula hangout movie(act 1, act 2, act 3, climax, resolution), where not much happens. The acting? Incredible. Scenes? Occasionally breathtaking. Overall? Much too long, and I can't say it deserves a watch unless you fall into the specific niche of super movie buff or old head that was around in the 60's and 70's and can relive the world that Tarantino grew up in and is mirroring this movie on.",5 "Pros Unique, bold story Character growth feels organic A few shocking and very emotional moments Cons As with many time travel based series, riddled with plot holes and inconsistencies. Some may find this a minor offense in the big picture, but I'm a stickler for such things. Overall, nice show to sit through if you want a change of pace. But it isn't terribly smart nor does it pull on your heartstrings as well as other anime. Anime like Death Note and Erased scratch those same itches for me, and they are far superior in my opinion.",7 "When my mother told me about a new horror film she wanted to see I thought it was this one. So I bought the film for 3.99$ at the redbox & I believe other than that time I accidentally watched a child drown this was the biggest mistake of my life. A boring plot with some doll that wasn't scary. An orphanage where they some-how could afford a mechanical chair to drive up and down the stairway and a doll house with real working lights. Give me 10 breaks. All of the characters are painfully boring. I thought before that girl got hit by the car at the beginning that the haunted doll was driving but it wasn't....... The dude that looks like disco inferno just angrily stares at all the girls the whole film and when the action sequences come into play it's already too late. My father was on his chair falling asleep and I had to keep getting up from the kitchen table to walk around because it was really that boring. I thought Children of the corn: Runaways was bad but let me tell you. When I watch movies like this it just reinforces my ideals that President Donald trump needs to continue to make America great again because believe me. This movie exists and that means America ain't great.",2 "Movie is Cameroon trying to show us all the cool stuff he could think about right down to a glowing tadpole. Overdose of trying to please visually with nothing w.r.t a plot or story. 8/10 is wayyy too high. People should stop overrating movies just coz they were visually good. This is a complete snoozefest and I slept for some good part of the movie during the final fight and guess what? I missed nothing. What's with this runtime? There is literally hundreds of scenes you can cut off and one won't even know or care about anything missing . I guess Cameron simply wanted not to waste the money spent on cgi so he decided to keep every single scene in without editing. 4/10 purely coz the graphics were good and great job CGI team.",4 "U guys should have study the Dhaka and Bangladesh first. There so many lack that not needed to me marked up. Nothing matched Bangladeshi situation here. There were a hope while first see the Trailer. But watching movie and such lack on details really disappointed Me. Not only me, 80 percent Bangladeshi feel the same. Bangladeshi police wearing Bangladeshi army batch and so on many lack. Not saying about action!! Saying about scripture here. Always was a fanboy of Hollywood, but this movie really hurt me.",1 This film is great if you were in a coma and it was the only thing u could do,1 "What a fun series, that's all I can say is this series is such a fun time from start to finish, yes it's not perfect and it does have its problems but this show is so much fun and you can expect that from a show about the devil coming to earth and working at the local McDonald's yes that's what this series is about and it's just so much fun to watch this show unfold. There is a lot to like about this show like the cast, the cast in this show was great everyone did a fantastic job playing there respected character. Speaking of characters the characters in this show are all amazing it's really hard to pick a favorite because all of the main characters are amazing. This show is also really really funny and each episode had me laughing from start to finish because of how ridiculous this show was and it's just the jokes in this show are so ridiculous in a good way and you can expect this show not to be taken seriously because it's about the devil working at McDonald's. The action in this show when it actually happens is really beautifully animated and really well done. The animation style is also really great and well animated. But as I said this anime is not perfect and there is some problems. To start with the villains are not interesting at all and they have no character development at all it just seemed like they put the villains for an action scene. Also the episodes 6-10 felt like they were copying the first 5 episodes in there tone yes they sometimes through some original things in there and episodes 8 and 9 I want to say had me dying of laughter but it just felt like a rehash of episodes 1-5 in some ways. Overall, if you want a really quick short show to watch look no farther then devil is a part timer. I had so much fun watching this 13 episode show and I really hope the second season comes out soon because I do want to return to this world and get to know more about these characters.",7 "Servus from Austria. Watched the movie in the original version. Overall impression: Exciting jail escape movie in a realistic environment. Lacks scenes that depict the truly harsh conditions of inmates. Story arc: 5/10 Getting a sentence for political crimes in South Africa is the solid theme of the movie. The story itself follows a straight path. There were no really surprising elements to the story that would make the audience jump from their chairs. Entertainment: 7/10 The escape scenes were well acted and kept me on my toes. Already at the start of the movie, the events caught my attention and kept me engaged for the most part until the end. Characters: 6/10 The main characters were well portrayed by the actors and bore close resemblance to their real-life counterparts. The policemen tried to appear threatening, but ultimately were a touch less evil than one would expect. The other inmates added good support to character development. Originality: 2/10 If you have seen Shawshank Redemption or any other prison break movie, then you will not be too impressed. Visuals: 6/10 The depicted world the movie tries to suck you in but ultimately did not feel as dark and gritty as it ought to be. The cells themselves did not look too shabby and even the food in jail looked alright. Sound design: 7/10 The music was well composed to add tension where necessary.",7 This is a great movie. Even most of the technical details are correct.,9 "this movie was just way to confusing. The first 30 Minutes of the movie I was thinking to myself, O this is going to get good and as the movie went on I just got more and more disappointed. I just didn't get it. It was just to abstract like it was real magic and there was no trick it was real. Like magic is real and people should believe that. I personally am not going to say more because ill ruin the movie for those who haven't seen it but this movie to me was just way to unbelievable like events in this movie could actually happen. all in all I didn't like it at end of the movie I was thinking to myself... As if!",4 "I don't want to spoil it for you but this show was great! Good plot, well acted, well shot. Downside for the faint of heart is there is a lot of drugs, a lot of cussing, sex and death. Ended up somehow being a dark feel good drama.",8 "This really is a MUST watch for everyone ,anywhere. It is so incredibly impactful and emotional. Wether you've heard of Chernobyl already or no nothing at all this show is really great at putting it all into perspective. The performances are incredible, the visuals and the camera angles are realised and mind blowing and above all the morals are fantastic. The whole show has many subplots that each lead to one main idea...unburying the truth whilst bringing damage, in the right situation can save thousands of lives. Every person holds secrets from the next as shown throughout and it is amazing to watch it unfold towards the end. Not only this but it teaches about the historical and very real events that took place during the disaster. I also liked, well not liked, that they showed a lot of the grim, revolting side effects of the radiation. It adds a whole new level of sympathy to the characters and you can almost feel their pain. Although some of the other stories weren't necessary to see, it was quite important. When someone thinks Chernobyl, nobody thinks about the hundreds of miners giving their lives to dig a tunnel or the fireman attempting to divert the radiation or even the soldiers having to murder innocent animals to protect other innocent humans. I'm so glad that they decided to shed light on these people, it exaggerates how many people the disaster actually affected. My only real ""problems"" with this is how political a lot of it was and how long scenes dragged on for, this is obviously just my opinion and only considering the story from a media stand point(not as a real life event). Some bits where also a bit repetitive, nothing at all bad. 8/10 one of the, if not the best tragedy story put to film.",8 "It's fine. It's vaguely interesting. It's not amazing and there is nothing that unique here. The humour is pretty cheesy and obvious. Dialogue, music, cinematography, characters, and acting is all quality but not ground-breaking. There are a lot of flashbacks to previous movies in ep 1 which I assume are meaningful to viewers who watched and remember those movies but are more of a distraction if you haven't watched them or don't particularly remember them. The clip reels really strain the fourth wall and makes the show feel very cobbled together. Sophia Di Martino is not very convincing as a Loki. I suspect this show will just be more fan-service and milking the Marvel cow. Not so much made with a general audience in mind.",7 "I cried, I laughed, I dance and I did sing too. What a joyful time I had at the movies watching Barbie. This is a movie to celebrate how diverse and complicated are the humans. The cinematography is a outstanding as well as the production design and the vestuary. The casting seems like made in heaven. I recommend this movie for 11+ years old. And if you have a teen at home, take her with you. Barbie goes from fun to introspection and I love a good comedy that makes you think. Ryan Gosling is the perfect Ken, he does everything in this movie and shines every time he shows up. Margo is a perfect Barbie and got a real sense of the relevance this is going to have.",10 "1:18 ruined this movie for me. Please keep you BS politics out of movies and let us BE FREE from the real word for 2 hrs... THATS WHY WE WATCH MOVJES LIKE THIS.",2 "My expectations were so low... Anyway, my rating is mostly based on the comparison between the first episode of GoT and this one and this is quite bad in comparison.",4 Netflix should apologise for misrepresentation of Bangladesh. Bangladesh is not a terrorist country. Netfliz showed a terrorist run our army its never happened ever. I love Netflix bt ftom now its bad feelings for them.,1 "Bird Box is like a better version of The Happening, but a lesser version of A Quiet Place. This original sci-fi thriller does a great job of creating a suspenseful environment, but I think the filmmakers were hoping viewers would turn a blind eye to the plot holes and inconsistencies. The story, while interesting, creates more questions than it does answers. Nevertheless, this movie made an impact and I enjoyed the ride.",7 "Everything is impeccable here: faithful costumes, good art directing, beautiful cinematography, great narrative and it's characters and mainly Jenna Ortega's delightful performance as the character-title, her acting is impressive and I think she's one the most talented actors today. But the fact they made a horrible CGI of the creatures disconnect me a couple of times when I was watching. I don't know if that was the idea, if they wanted to do some trash movie vibe or something, but if it had a Stranger Things level CGI this thing would be perfect. Netflix should definitely renew to Season 2 and invest way more in the visual effects! 9/10.",7 "But it is also in its smallest details, from the art direction, costumes, and any technical choice completely thought of referencing all Barbie generations and the like. A soundtrack that will take you from laughing to crying (yes, very musical moments, after all it is a Barbie movie), in addition to the hand-picked cast, Margot is impeccable and manages to express all her feelings, just with her eyes. Greta's direction and screenplay, just amazing, strong, emotional, empowering and very, very feminist, not only for the women who are already fighting for the cause, but to open everyone's eyes to a sisterhood.",10 "Is this a game, or is this a movie? 90% of the movie is bad, exaggerated fighting. How many times can one be beaten before they stay down? An enormous number. How far does one roll down the stairs after being hit? Infinitely far... Thin plot, poor acting. Why did Keanu agree to this? Here, you get the feeling of watching a game, not a movie. Is the blind man blind, or can he see? One has to make up their mind and stick to the decision. Someone here has done a poor job with their homework. Let's hope this was the last movie, because we truly cannot bear the thought of there suddenly being a plausible reason to make another one.",2 "Didnt know what to expect going in, but was surprised at how good it was. The films entire premise is to shatter the 4th wall, both with its story and literally, just shattering it whenever it wants. With the message that what you see onscreen is just that, and not an actual representation of reality. This is incredibly well done..for the most part. Great all around acting from the entire cast, lizzo & ice spice will never be talented, in anything, ever, please pipe down. Margot Robbie was an excellent ironic choice, as she is an actual IRL barbie. Will ferrell and the other comedy is quite funny, plus ryan gosling is just one cool guy. Barbie also beat Oppenheimer to the streams, and doesnt go for 3hrs.",7 "Great show, you will notice a lot of low scores come from people that don't like season 2, and they have horrible spelling. These are right wingers who feel targeted because a cult was called out, and Nazi's were depicted as bad people. They don't like that reality, it hurts their feelings. The Boys is a great alternative take on superheroes. Good plot, realistic to what would happen if we actually had Superheroes in America, instead of the popular Superman crap we see on tv. Capitalism is always the true evil and it gets exploited here again on the show. Fun show, great production, great actors, great plot.",9 "I was painfully disappointed in the storyline, I waited 3 weeks to see this movie because the show-times were so far apart I usually just saw something that was playing sooner; nearly 50% of the movie is chase scenes and trying to corner these elusive young magicians which is cool for an action movie but I was expecting something different. The plot never thickens... just unravels at random intervals, no real magic here to hang your suspension of disbelief on; instead everything is explained away almost as it happens. The movie had a great concept but it went up like ""flash paper"". Man of Steel was a lot better IMO. Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman are fun to watch as they are both classic icons in the plot exposure role of cinema, they both do a fine job each his own fate are never completely reasonable to the viewer so much as they may be from the view of the protagonist. Really I just see curve-ball after the movie was in the tin.",6 "Yeah, they went the standard route with this series. All the formulaic cookie cutter roles of main characters have been filled and it has been seeded with the ordinary amount of interpersonal drama and plot points. None of the main characters are interesting (at least not three episodes in). I don't care about any of the people on the screen. I even dislike some of them, especially the Grant Ward character. Also, it tries to be too cool and bad-ass for its own good. It comes off as fake and contrived. And the boring standard science fiction tech they try to wow us with in the first episode just falls flat. In one word: dull.",4 "With Stranger Things Netflix had a big impact on me this year. I a very small time i become addicted to it. In the beginning I was not sure if this movie will win my attention, so I give her a chance that I don't regret. It certainly was the atmosphere that gets darker and darker around the series, the good technical implementation, as well as the acting that made me watching one episode after the other. The Story fells like its playing in 1983. Some of the movie-elements stick in the style of this time, which is creating a lot of charm and its used on purpose to create a specific mood. The first episodes creating the depth of the different characters. After this the series generate a need to keep watching the other episodes. For me Stranger Things is a mixture of the movies ""The Mist"" (2007), ""ET"" (1982) and ""Cloverfield"" (2008). I cannot describe the feeling why I select Cloverfield. Maybe it's the way this series feels. Cloverfield produced the same oppressive feeling in me. Technically Stranger Things has been developed on a very current state of the art. They surprised me with more complex computer-generated effects, as well as environments and objects. Light is used consciously to transfer mood and tension. I liked very much how the creators of the series could tie me up with this mood.",9 This movie got great reviews so I was excited to rent it but I'm so disappointed. Acting was great but outside of that? Boring. Not a great story line. Feel like I lost about 2 hours of my time I'll never get back.,3 "Netflix sucks at everything. This is a cool idea for a show. It would be good if they got better writers, directors, and actors (except robert sheehan). It would be good if they didn't steal ideas from 5 different shows/movies and do them worse than the original. I watched all of season 1, not watching any more (1 viewing, 4/16/2021)",3 "98% of the 3-hour long movie was talking, interrogating, flashing back and forth and some unnecessary sex scenes. Didn't show the bomb making process, how it was used, the aftermath. Yes of course I can Goggle for my own interest but that was the impression from all the hype and false advertising from this movie! The movie was super boring I couldn't wait for it to be over! Also Lewis Strauss played by Robert Downey Jr. Was very annoying, guy kept fixing his tie, button / unbutton and putting on and taking off his jacket, so pretentious! I regret taking my whole family to see this hyped up movie! Don't fall for this hype and this is definitely not appropriate for teens and younger.",2 "I did not sugn up for satanic horror... please!!! Ugh! It was the worst season ever!!! Just dark with no redeeming qualities. I loved the scifi future stuff. But his?? Werewolves? Demons? Murderers?? Nothing but just horror genre, and not even original!! Come on netflix... you can do better! Just really dissapointing and right in line with the current satanic end of the world prep agenda. Look at the nice S for Satan, I mean streamberry. And then sort of making demons & murderers look ok?? It's all just a big dissapointment and should come with a warning that this show is NOT family friendly anymore!",1 "So wish we could go back to sorting by HELPFULNESS instead of Prolific Reviewer.... In this movie he is being portrayed by Robert De Niro, who wasn't really a big star yet at the time. It's amazing how these two different story-lines, set at completely different time periods and also in essence have really nothing to do with each other, blend in so perfectly. The historical settings of the New York of the early 20th century are also truly impressive. It's a movie that got practically made by the same cast and crew as the first successful movie. Of course there also are some new addition to the cast this time, in which the earlier mentioned Robert De Niro and Lee Strasberg impress the most. Both also received an Oscar nomination in the category for best supporting actor, along with Michael V. Gazzo but it was Robert De Niro who would eventually take the statue back home. What also makes this movie an even better one than its predecessor is the fact that this movie is filled with some classic moments of cinema.",8 "The biggest copy cat of all copy cats!since IMDb.com can't make me curse i'll bring it out shortly to you cause it really ticked me off. Another body-switching comedy? Seriously? From the peaks of Big and Freaky Friday to the low of Vice Versa — Face/Off being my guilty pleasure — we've seen it all. Really. We have. The makers of The Change-Up tell us we've never seen the R-rated comedy version. Now it's here, and what The Hangover screenwriters Jon Lucas and Scott Moore have cooked up with Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin is nonstop raunchy that decides too late that it needs to grow a heart. We all have seen everything you will see in this movie. i don't plan on pissin anybody off but please just skip the d@mn flick!",5 "Upon hearing about this film I became skeptical of the idea of a comedy based around Kung Fu, and I worried that a good job would not be done and that it would be quite a struggle to enjoy with the drama mixed in. I was proved wrong -- I found that the film was magniciently sequenced from beginning to end, with very interesting and innovative fight scenes, as well as with the proper comic relief. The acting was very professional and genuine, with the characters being portrayed well. It was easy to become sucked into the story with the terrific acting of everyone involved. The story was top, with each new twist and turn making me more interested in the plot of the film as a whole. When the film ended, I was left fulfilled with the story and quite excited about the whole ordeal, hoping that more work along these lines would be done in the future. A tremendous triumph for cinema.",8 "A third rate B Movie, that belongs in an old flea pit ""Art-house"" cinema in the backstreets of a broken down district in town. A discombobulated mash up of Matrix, The Way of the Dragon/The Karate Kid, Back to the Future (Parts 1-3) and Crossroads. A script that can only have been written by some 1st grade teenybopper, who's been overloaded with pink ice cream, laced with ketamine. The director, high on super grade tabs of Acid has force fed the thing through an old Hoover vacuum cleaner pipe and blown it out onto some spare celluloid in his toilet. Jamie Lee Curtis stated that she couldn't understand the script. Well, quite frankly, no one can. Actors and acting? In the role that she's been given; Jamie Lee Curtis is like a fish out of water, floundering around trying to make sense of it all on a stage with other actors who are all at sea in this nonsense. VFX? Looked like they were something pulled out of a recycle bin and pasted in. That was explained, when I read that the VFXers had taught themselves from free online tutorials. Anything good to say about it? Yes, I had a fabulous Lamb Madras Curry delivered from Kashmiri Spice in Burnage (superb food & recommend to all) before the start of the movie. Full to the gunnels after that, I fell fast asleep in the middle of this empty, noisy embarrassment of a thing for 40mins, saving me from the full 139min exposure. Thank the Lord. 7 x Oscars for this bs .. joke. Good people; Don't waste139mins of your life watching this twaddle. Thank you. Wanna see it though? Np .. you'll be able to pick up a copy from the Blu-Ray basement/reject box for 50p/60c .. £1/$1.20 for three in a weeks time. PS Why have I given it two stars then? Well, it's a one star jobby that's for sure, but heah, I'm feeling generous today.",2 This movie drags on for way too long. Boring until the very end.,3 "I really tried to give this show a chance. Watched the whole first season just to end up so disappointed. GOT gave you so many characters to root for early one- both good and bad. I could care less if any of these characters die. In fact, I hope they all die, and we get a new storyline with new characters. Wanted to love this series so much. Gave it every chance to get better. The multiple time jumps and character changes were both distracting and really killed the flow of the series. The ten episodes felt like different shows. I would not recommend this series. I would rather watch GOT over and again before watching this series one other time.",1 "I saw all the good reviews for this and decided to give it a go. I'm so disappointed cause I really expected this to be good. It was just ok. Felt kind of forced and a bit too silly for me. I enjoyed Martin Short's character but I didn't think Steve Martin was that funny in this which was a shame. Kind of felt like a male version of Grace & Frankie... with Selena thrown in to widen the viewer age range. I like Selena but for whatever reason she put on this dull, monotone voice throughout the whole thing which began to really grate on me a couple of episodes in. I'm hearing impaired and the deaf episode just felt too much. All the hollow, muffled sound in that episode was just really annoying for me and left me turning my hearing aids down. I understand that they are trying to be inclusive but just felt weird. Not the worst thing you'll ever see but definitely not an 8/10.",5 If you like the garbage Disney have made Star Wars into you'll probably like this show. This is for people who care more about flashy graphics and colours than the story or acting.,4 "During the film I mentioned to my husband that we should have checked the ratings before going to see the movie, but seeing that it got a 9 on IMDb, I see now that that would only have increased the disappointment... The villain(s) is/are uninteresting and don't seem to have a motive. There is at least one very obvious gaffe. The ""prison"" is unexplained. Catwoman is boring. Batman himself is inactive for most of the film, and when he is active he is brings nothing new. Worse, this ""batman"" movie shows batman as a weakling. There is absolutely no action for the first half of the film, and by that time you just want the movie to be over so you can get out of the theater...",5 The film was full of stretching in order to prolong the time of the film. Better in photography and sound.,3 "What can i say , Kung Fu Hustle is one of those films that made me laugh so much that i felt so tired through all the laughing that i had done . The humour in it was sharp enough to cheer anyone up ! There are way too many scenes in this film that are too funny and you just basically have to watch them for your-self in-order to make up your mind . There is also a good blend of CGI related martial arts with a lot of bodies flying all about the place , and you got infamous mafia like gangsters in this film that look pretty cool . All in all an excellent film and i urge people to at least give it a try even if your not a huge fan of the martial arts or comedy genre , and well what can you say about Stephon Chow's performance - Well judging from this fine piece of work that he'll be headed for big things !!! ""YOU EVER KILLED ANYONE BEFORE !!! ?""",9 "I'm sorry but films like this, that have the hero doing impossible feats, are just not my cup of tea. Most films that I watch will make me forget that the camera is right there in front of the actors. Mission Impossible Fallout was just the opposite . The scenes and actors always seemed to be posing and reciting lines to the camera. A note to future Mission Impossible movie makers, please put just a hint of realistic action in your movie.",2 "Simple enough story, but way too much decoration in terms of the special effects, battles, multiple characters and universes. It was sensory overload after a while it became tiresome and added nothing. It was so repetitive. Constantly changing props, and outfits of the characters just wasn't making the scenes any more interesting. More certainly could have been added in terms of character development in stead of so much energy going towards all the special effects fluff. It would have made me more sympathetic to the individual characters. It was in three parts and I kept hoping it was over before it really was.",4 "A good start to a prequel. 172 Years before Danny (Please do not ask about Danny's cameo :P) So much build up to the Dornish Cristen Cole. But he never made any impact. Looks dull too. Rhaenyra Targaryen doesn't look like someone who is going to compete for the throne. She looks weak and uninterested to act. But through high recommendation she was casted for that role. Dracarys is such a powerful word. When Danny says it, I get goosebumps regardless how much ever time I watch it. But when Rhaenyra said, I was vomiting literally. This is what happens when you recruit through recommendation. I'm already in love with Alicent HighTower. Casting is the main issue in this series.",8 "I love jenifer lawrence, this movie gives you all the time to see her exceptional performance which I give it a 10 on scale of 1 to 10. Ten being the best. Not the movie itself which I hardly gove it a 5 rating. It is badly edited, too many unfit scenes in wrong places, it gets tiring when they try to twist it too much, not very smooth.Also too many unnecessary nude scenes with no justified reasons. Looks like producers wanted to get more out of Jenefer lawrence for the money they paid her, or maybe they thought it can bring more audience. In total this movie would have been not worthy to watch without J. Lawrence in it.",5 Loved it. Loved all of it. Agent Scully's (X-files Scully) appearance was an epic twist. A great collective add to The Silence of The Lambs fans collective.,9 The charcters have no clear motives. Ultron bad cgi,2 "If you've ever been to a large music festival where 2 dubstep dj's are in playing on opposing stages, thus movie is like the part when you are walking away from the main stage only to arrive halfway to the next stage and realize that DJ is also playing dubstep and both rhythms are completely off. Completely and utterly jarring. I wish I could watch it for more than 10 minutes because the action is exciting and thrilling but the cuts are so brutal that for me its completely unwatchable... Not just the opening scene either it continues after the chase taking even slower parts in the movie and dicing up the shots for this artificial pacing disconnected from the actual scene.",1 "Just finished the first season, and I have to say I love this show. First of all, I'm a big fan of Steve Martin's writing. From his books to his stage plays he's got a certain je ne sais quoi where his writing and humor are concerned. This is right up there with Roxane, and LA Story. That brilliant quirky humor of his, and this show has his comedic finger prints all over it. That's not to discount Martin Short's contributions. These two work very well together. I've seen several of their live performances and I'm never let down. This show broke new ground in a world where entertainment is so flooded with all the same stuff done over and over and over until its all so stale. This show is a bright spot in an otherwise dull television landscape. I cannot wait for season two. In the mean time I'll have to watch this show again.",10 "From all appearances, Alpha was written by a class of fourth graders. The first 45 minutes in particular are exquisitely bad. It isn't just the writing: The costumes are comical. A potentially interesting premise, the domestication of wolves, executed about as poorly as imaginable. Impressive animal training, but the there is no good audience for the movie. Too violent for young kids. Too stupid and poorly done for anyone older than third grade.",2 "The dialogue... lord help me the dialogue. It was utterly dreadful. I don't think a single sentence came out of character's mouth that was good. It was a script of cliché, bad humour, awful plot points, bland characters. So disappointing. I never really rated the CG in the first film, I think the Venom character looked cool but didn't quite fit too well with live action. When you add in Carnage as well it was all a bit too CG heavy. The plot was meh. I can see what they were trying to do and it wasn't bad, but was instantly forgettable. Woody Harrelson (who is a terrific actor) was quite bad in this and his villain was a bit tired and bland. In terms of action it was a bit thin on the ground and the final big fight scene was fine I guess. Again not bad but instantly forgettable. What more can I say really. The character of Venom is so cool and there is so much potential, but they are just not getting these films right at all. 4/10 as it was just about entertaining enough, and if nothing else it was blissfully short.",4 "The Boys is an awesome show, that shines because of acting, visual effects and musical score on the foreground and then on screenplay and storyline. It has superb acting performances by most of the cast. The ones I loved more were Homelander, Queen Maeve and The Female (quite a natural performance) It sets the mood in a very good and convincing way, but in the process gets many disconnections in terms of storyline, development and plots. That's the weakest part of the show. It is superhero cheesy and has black comedy, while funny at times and making laugh, that is not enough, because the entire atmosphere of the show is all but funny. It's serious, grim and a little depressing. What season 1 most of all needed was 2-3 more episodes, increased development and sense of dangerousness. That's not a theatrical show in which actors ""happily"" jump up and down together and die ""randomly"" together. Give it a purpose, a straightforward path and real brilliance. If it's too late and the second season's already been shot, then, I guess we just have to wait and see if the writers understood the little minuses and worked, hopefully hard on correcting them. If not, we are set for another ""8"" episodes of CGI and action cheesiness.",8 "With all the cartoons Nickelodeon has come out with in the past few years, I have to say Avatar: The Last Airbender definitely takes the cake. From the very first episode to the last, Avatar never failed to impress me. Even though I was never a huge anime fan, I applaud the good quality, Asian-style animation. The mature themes in Avatar also make it stand out from Nickelodeons other shows. The show addresses serious subjects like what is good or evil, the balance between man and nature, and spirituality. Being partly a comedy, there is plenty of humor that at times made me literally laugh out loud, but it also a drama, with the characters being very memorable and lifelike. I find the fact that the people of this world can ""bend"" elements very original, and well executed. There are natural laws that the cartoonists set for this world, like how one can only bend the element of their respective Nation (water, fire, earth, or air). Only the Avatar, chosen to protect the balance of the world between the four Nations, can bend all four elements. In this show, the Avatar is an Airbender named Aang, who along Sokka and Katara from the Water Tribe, set off to stop the imperialistic Fire Nation from taking over the world. The characters are in constant life-or-death situations, which makes it part of the action/adventure genre. The fight scenes look cool, and watching the characters use psychic martial arts to manipulate their environment is awesome. Unlike most other children's shows, the main characters, the ""good guys,"" don't always win against the ""bad guys,"" or if they do it might be at a price. The characters, being flawed and human, sometimes find themselves questioning what is right or wrong, or even if what they are doing good or evil. The creators of this show borrow elements of culture from the Chinese, Japanese, Indians, and Inuits. The world of Avatar is unique, complete with its own history and visually stunning natural landscapes and cities. Some people make fun of it by calling it a ""fake anime,"" saying that it was a bunch of American animators who copied Japanese cartoons. But I fail to see how this is a bad thing. They are simply blurring the lines between Western and Eastern animation, and in the end making a product that takes the best of both worlds. I can't say Nickelodeon has had any cartoons this good since this show has ended. They made a live action movie off of the first season directed by M. Night Shyamalan, which was absolutely terrible and nearly ruined the show for many fans. Hopefully they can redeem this franchise with the upcoming spin off series The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra, set to come out in mid-2012. If they keep the humor, great animation, and mature themes as they did in the first series, I will definitely watch Legend of Korra when it comes out.",10 "Jhonny depp certainly saved it... Acting was stunning but the story,suspense and plot is not there...",6 "This movie was boring for me i guess, only jack sparrow's character was good and except frm that all five movies are boring.",6 "This right here comes from a fan of movies who doesn't read comics but appreciated comic book movies. The first two Batman movies were much more fun than this one. Sure, this one went in-depth and was grittier, but that's what they're doing with all the adaptations these days. The Hulk movie: let's make it psychological! War of the Worlds: how does this alien invasion affect the mind? (though I am confident the movie will be incredible, Spielberg, Cruise and Koepp swore off action clichés, which always make for the coolest movies. Some mindless destruction would have been cool for this flick.) Batman Begins: let's find out what drove him to be like this! Movies like Spider-Man and the original Batman were there to entertain and present a good story with more action time and less psyche time. They were smart with Tim Burton's Batman, right off the bat (pun intended) Batman is there and fighting crime. I was somewhat bored until Batman finally showed up after what seemed like and probably was an hour of getting to the Dark Knight. The action was pretty good, but it just doesn't beat that of the '90s when they didn't have so many cuts and shaky cameras. My major complaint was the music by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard. It was generic and droning with a very weak theme that short changed Batman himself. Danny Elfman's theme ran through my head during the entire movie and I kept wishing it was coming from the theater speakers rather than the disorganized electronic/brass cacophony that was playing. I suppose my money was well-spent, but I wouldn't spend it to go for a second run.",5 "This was an awful depiction of the life/times of the era. The plight of the slave was considerable worse. A slave would've never been allowed to act the way this main character would've..the slaves could not speak proper English, let alone command the language enough to effectively insult/manipulate their captives. The ""masters"" were as uneducated and unrefined as their slaves..but they were in control..period. ROOTS was a considerably better depiction of the times. One thing I noticed, is the only emhasise of the time was the reference to both the master and slave. Although it was accurate, the language spoken was of illiterate people..both master and slave. The only ones who had mastered the language were the land owners themselves. I'm so appalled by this thinly veiled attempt to target the white man in general. We must never forget that the north was republican and the south was democrat, who insisted on slavery..which is what the civil war was all about. Appalled...simply appalled.. the acting alone was worth steering clear of this atrocity that claims to represent the horrible times of the era...absolutely appalled. I think I'll watch ROOTS again to regain my perspective of that horrible stain on America's history...because this film accomplished the opposite of what it so blatantly attempted to do.",1 "I love the Marvel universe and the artistic vision that has been expressed in comics, movies, etc. I especially enjoy it when well written and executed stories find their way to the screen without being mired in excessive profanity and sexuality. To me, this shows either a lack of intelligent originality or perhaps a deliberate attempt by the Hollywood crowd to desensitize the audience. In my opinion, no Marvel story should ever warrant a MA rating. Dynamic action, anger and sensuality can all be tastefully expressed. Yes, it takes a bit more thought and creativity during the writing stage, but the results are more than worth it. So, one star for not providing a great and imaginative story that responsible parents feel they can share with the whole family.",1 "I watched this series throughout a few days. My main take away is confusion. I'm utterly confused with almost everything that happens in this series. They make a half-hearted attempt at explaining this world but it doesn't really work. Henry Cavill does a good job and makes his character seem like an actual person. The others seem to be playing a a character. Anya Chalotra (Yennefer) does the worst, in my opinion. She is acting, and you can tell. It doesn't help her that her character is extremely boring and her character arc isn't motivated what so ever, She is also extremely annoying. This character totally ruins the few good things about this series. Anyone comparing this to GOT must be insane. The first seasons of GOT are amazing, and this doesn't come close, in any way. This series is boring fantasy that fails to make sense, plus bad camera work and odd looking costumes. Save yourself some time and watch something else.",2 "Psssst!.... You wanna know a secret??..... Now, this is strictly ""hush-hush"" stuff - So, don't tell anyone - OK!? 'Cause what I'm gonna tell you here is vitally important. It sure is. And, it goes like this.... After watching ""The Martian"" - I seriously think that director Ridley Scott (who is now 80 years old) should retire (like - ASAP!!) from film-making - Permanently!.... He really should.... Yeah. His Sci-Fi movie-making days are clearly over-the-rainbow, as far as I'm concerned. (Like - Hasn't he made enough money, already?) Now, remember - This is our little secret.... So - (shhhh!) Please, don't tell anyone.... OK? Thanks so much!",3 "The other negative reviews cite this movie of a Coen Bros. ripoff. I'm not ready to be that harsh, but there is certainly an element of a cloning attempt here. The big problem is it tries to hard to be quirky, offbeat and irreverent, but at the same time attempts to wedge some pathos in here and there to balance it out. It just... fails. One problem is-- and curse me for saying this-- the movie is too short. It's as if there was a time limit on character development-- make a few comments and now it's up to you to see the big picture. Call a man a racist, and you're given the job of applying this assumption to everything a character does stems from this. Give a man cancer, and now you're job is to apply sympathy to his actions. An extra half hour would give both the director and the audience room to come to a better understanding of what lurks beneath, what drives the character's behavior. I'm trying to avoid a spoiler, but the last conversation Mildred has with her daughter is a perfect summation of what is really lacking in this movie. If you see it-- which I'm not saying you shouldn't-- you'll know exactly what I mean. I'd wait for the post-theater release.",5 "Be it the story or film-making, this movie is just amazing. I wish we could have have had more movies like this. It takes you back to old Calcutta, and presents a very innocent love story of two individuals, and turns it takes.",10 "I wasn't expecting anything from that movie. But was definitely not expecting that. I usually watch a lot of movies (like a lot), from different horizons, and yes, I don't like the way some filmmakers try to manipulate their audience with moves like losing you with a clueless plot from the beginning til the end. What's the POINT ? It's a cliché. It's clearly not working. So stop. Stop taking your audience for fools please.",5 "One of the most expensive films by Netflix, you can tell there's no holding back with the money. About this movie there's not much new stuff, just fantasy about people who wants to do something they never got to do until they become ghosts, Reynolds is just-that-persuasive! A people person. Forget about the plot holes and the whys such as why they target that dude and fight with everything they got instead of trying a small casino first, especially on the first mission. The two things I got problem is the camera work is not good....I watched it pretty closely and there are shots that's so shaky and poorly cut that you'll easily miss some interesting elements they put in. I'm sure they can re-cut it so the action scenes would flow. The other problem is the jokes, it's not that funny at any time you watch it, there's no balance between the humour and the violence. I think they over did it.",6 "URI narate the true story OR the true response that Indian Army gave to Porkistan. I feel proud to watch the movie on 1st Day. Awesome action, nail bitting scenes and if you arw true Indian you have to love it. Now the choice is yours between zero/simba or URI",10 "Do the same thing over and over again but more extreme, bigger and longer until the storyline is totally unrealistic and unwatchable. ""That special something"" of the first spiderman movies got lost along the way.",2 "A fine production for the most part. Two things did not work for me. I heard good stuff about Henry Cavill in this movie. I sense the passion, but for me, his performance was flat. Secondly, some of the action sequences were too drawn out to really care how they ended. One in particular turned into a National Lampoon's Vacation parody where whatever could go wrong did, over and over and over. For me, two nice twists...and a movie that was about 30 minutes too long. However, give it a watch. It's not a bad one.",6 "I saw this at the cinema on its release. As we walked out, myself and others were heard to mutter ""certainly NOT a musical, so what was it all about"". To classify it as a musical is a misnomer. One or two production numbers and the same musical number played over again, doth not a musical make. The scene where Gosling and Stone attempt to dance on a hill overlooking LA was absolutely cringeworthy for any real dancers watching - and really ? does she happen to have her tap shoes with her after leaving a party ? just watch that scene closely again. Clearly Hollywood does NOT produce the allrounders from the golden age - these were actors/actresses who could act, sing AND dance - think of Danny Kaye, Vera Ellen, Judy Garland. Gosling and Stone try hard but are wooden in their dancing, and Stone's singing wouldn't even rate a star on here. No, it was far from 'awesome', although clearly Ryan Gosling worked hard at learning the piano, so must be commended for that. Not a film I would want to sit through again, but this is the only place I can vent my spleen or be generous with praise, as I cannot be bothered with social media !!!",2 "First of all the Show is Great. The Camera and microphone workers were drunk or high, I saw the mic and the reflection of the Camera on some Glass. Both are horrible!",6 "The casting and performances by all were outstanding, especially Bautista and Norton, and I really liked the setting in Greece, but I feel the ending ruined what could've been a better sequel. There certainly was some creative ideas in the narrative, and even though the start was slow and tedious, it did get better when Benoit Blanc started to unravel the mystery. However, the unravelling was too as-a-matter-of-factly and too convenient in its set-up. And normally I'd be fine with that, because the few twists were a nice touch, but then right after the mystery was solved, the ridiculous antics just became too unbelievable and quite frankly, unnecessary. Still, and enjoyable one-time watch, especially if you enjoyed the first one.",7 I would dedicate or spend all day thinking about this show. If I love a show I think of it all day. I would reserve time for it or spend valuable time that I needed elsewhere. If I had spear time and wasn't watching any other TV shows to watch I would sit down to watch a couple episodes. It's a great show but it's not hooking. It's an amazing message but it didn't have an addictive element to it.,6 "This film blindsided me like a surprise party in a library. All the usual suspects-acting, editing, script, photography-lined up perfectly, pulling me into the protagonist's existential maze. I related so hard, I hit the pause button to catch my breath. But wait, there's more! Why watch this film? Because it's lighter than a helium balloon at a featherweight championship. It's the kind of movie that sprinkles humor like confetti and serves up plot twists like a master chef at a surprise dinner party. You'll be hooked, reeled in, and left dangling at an ending that's as unusual as a unicorn in a tuxedo. Now, let's talk characters. Imagine a buffet with contrasting dishes: the cynical philosopher, the whimsical dreamer, and the pragmatic skeptic. Each one brings their own seasoning to the table, turning right and wrong into a kaleidoscope of perspectives. It's like watching a debate club where everyone's got a different accent, and the topic is ""Life: Yay or Nay?"" And those layers of meaning? They're like a parfait of existential musings. Life, my friend, is a rollercoaster with a broken GPS. So buckle up, throw your hands in the air, and enjoy the ride. Because sometimes, the best way to make sense of it all is to let the wind mess up your hair and scream, ""Wheeeee!""",9 "The arguments are infantile and the storyline is not convincing at all. Very well produced, you can tell that it is an expensive one, but this series is made for 12 yr old kids at most. At some moments you can have some fun, but... nah! And the season finale sucks big time. Some actors did good, other ones not at all Seriously, I dont thing I will watch the 2nd season. Sorry.",5 "One couple I know walked out on it. Another friend loved it. They are all smart people with a good sense of humor. But it is also continually mentioned as a shoo-in at the Oscars. I feel that I had an open mind when I bought my ticket. The story, as far as I could tell, is about a Chinese-American woman who is kidnapped and thrown into alternate universes when she's overcome by stress. And that's what happens in this movie. He marriage is basically over, her daughter just came out as a lesbian, her ailing father, who lives with her and constantly criticizes her, demands attention. The family business (a laundromat) is failing, the IRS is harassing them, and she is haunted by her failed career as a singer. In the alternative universes she has superhuman strength and is a martial arts expert. That's a good thing because she's also being pursued by an arch-villainess who is determined to kill her off in every one of those alternative universes. There are a lot of fight scenes (mostly CGI). There are also some laughs along the way, but nothing truly hilarious, unless you like jokes about sticking objects where-the-moon-don't-shine. I guess it comes down to the fact that this is just not my kind of movie. The audience I saw it with was composed mostly of young people who seemed to enjoy it enormously. The makeup was outstanding. I did not recognize Jamie Lee Curtis at all. Since most people confuse acting with makeup, I predict that she'll win the Oscar. But ultimately, to me, it was just silly.",4 "I am at a loss to understand why so many people liked and reviewed positively this movie. I find it scandalous that it appears to have more positive reviews than Gravity by Alfonso Cuarón which is a giant compared to this dwarf, in all aspects including acting, story line, dialogs and the visual effects. The performance of all the actors is average but the mumblings of the main character,Matthew McConaughey, are so incomprehensible and annoying. The computer graphics always play a big role in a science fiction movie. Unfortunately the director failed even to capitalize on it and the resulting visual effects are just average. In short, please do watch this movie if you want to see for yourself how a great amount of time, energy and money can be spent to insult human intelligence in guise of science.",1 """Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" is an Action - Sci-Fi movie in which we watch Steve Rogers trying to stop an assassin known as the Winter Soldier with the help of another Avenger, Black Widow. I liked this movie because it had a nice and interesting plot that contained plenty of action scenes and much of suspense. The interpretation of Chris Evans who played as Steve Rogers was for one more time very good. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Scarlett Johansson's who played as Natasha Romanoff, Sebastian Stan's who played as Bucky Barnes and Frank Grillo's who played as Brock Rumlow. The direction which was made by both Anthony Russo and Joe Russo was exceptional and they did an amazingly good job on the way they presented the plot and their main characters. Finally, I have to say that ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" is an interesting action movie that even if you are not a Marvel fan, I am sure you will enjoy it.",7 "Pick something. * Strained marriage of John and Maureen (separated) * Psychotic female Dr. Smith (WHAT THE ?!?!) * Interracial spawn (Judy) of Maureen's past * Weak writing * Alien (copyright) plagiarism * Maureen as the commander and higher intelligence with weaker Father/male figure (hey Hollywood, we are on to your brainwashing to make the American white male the inferior being) * Judy hating John in nearly EVERY scene. * Excessive nitpicking and sarcasm. It's not your Lost in Space you grew up on. And if it's not that then it is a weak copycat. It's got to be one or the other. Hollywood either intended to reboot the series to update it slightly but yet to some recognizable semblance of the original, or they failed miserably at plagiarizing the original. So Hollywood PC. Very disappointing plot lines. Writing is terrible. Too bad because I was so looking forward to this reboot,",2 "Saw this movie on the first date I had with my now wife. Was a great time laughing our way through the whole movie. Ryan is a great actor!",7 "The show is great! I am really enjoying it! Bella Ramsey is absolutely incredible! I don't remember her from Game of Thrones, but I am telling you she is going to be a star like Helena Bohnam Carter, Charlize Theron, Care Blanchet, Blake Lively, she is on that level. She is absolutely stealing the show! I skipped episode 3, basically watched the first ten minutes, started fast forwarding as soon as I realized it was a love story, then watched like the last 15. I'm not not a big romance fan. I don't even really get into romantic comedies that much. I am really enjoying the show! I wish the Resident Evil show on Netflix would have been this quality. Last of us is cinema quality for sure. Bella Ramsey is incredible. Watch the show.",8 "6-7 for the first one 8 ,5 for the second one My review is short , yes i know",7 "The movie is not for everyone. Actually, the movie is pretty much a documentary style film with no actual story line. The length was a bit too much too. However, if you are interested in the history of movie and hollywood or know about that era, you'll like this one. The performances were good too, as well as the costumes.",6 "The first 3 episodes are a little slow buts it's the part of the plot they are trying to display, In episode 4 it gets very interesting and it's worth the wait",9 "For me, it got over too soon. I wasn't left satisfied that I've watched a movie that's been on my list for farr tooo long (Felt like I completed a part of a docuseries). It was more like oh, that's the end I guess. I'd watch the movie again purely for its visuals. Oh I held my breath a lot! It's just beautiful. All the other parts felt like somebody dreamt the whole story on Earth and had the budget to create a space movie. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney played their parts well, they made it seem realistic but something was just missing. If you figure what it is, let me know.",7 "As a kid I was an avid Marvel comic reader. This series is pretty much what I had expected except everything is amped up. The violence is especially amped up. It's excessive, gory and at times adds little to the story. The plot is thin and the writing incredibly immature. The first season could have made a reasonable 90 minute movie but as a TV series it is slow, repetitive and unrewarding. The dialogue often tells us nothing about the storyline and seems to be used to simply waste time. So basically it's 25% gory violence, 30% mundane dialogue, 2% comedy (thanks to Foggy) and the rest is just plain tedious. After Episode 4 of the second season, I'd had enough and vowed never to waste any more time on this.",3 "Dear Damien, I really had great expectations for this film. I waited for a year to see this film. I was so excited that I walked ten minutes in the rain to go see this film. I am going to tell you what I felt about the film as I watched your film, so that you can learn something from my letter. I was very happy to see the initial traffic jam and the first song. I was thrilled to see what happens next? As soon as the film started, I started to feel there was no story line to keep me interested. There were no plot points. Who wrote this script? I could not relate to Emma Stone's character because there was nothing to look forward to regarding her goal. She was just an aspiring actress who was lost in Los Angeles failing auditions. Whats interesting about that? The film was dis-jointed. It was a big mess. The biggest mistake you made was to cast Ryan Gosling. This actor's face is bland. He is probably angry with someone on the set and it shows on his face. This guy has no expressions on his face. He has no idea how to act in certain scenes. He just keeps his face expression-less so that nobody can relate to him in the film. Deborah Aquila should have helped you find a better actor. Who selected Ryan's wardrobe? There was nothing interesting about his bland clothes to go with the musical. His emotions on his face do not match the flow of the story. Ryan, you are not a face for musical or romance or hero for a romantic comedy. You are a face of a villain or a boxing film. You should do those films. The way the director have these two characters meet is so weak. There was nothing romantic about how they meet. Emma Stone is a good actress but she kept (emotionally)staring in space in lot of scenes which were not removed in editing and it affected her performance. Acting with Ryan Gosling also affected her performance. There was one scene in the film where she goes and stands right in front of movie theater full of audience and nobody reacts or shouts as she stands in front of all of this audience while movie is playing. How unbelievable! I wanted to like something something in this film. I tried very hard. I wanted to like a scene where they are about to hold hands in movie theater but even Damien ruined that romantic scene by doing something stupid. I wont forgive you for that. Then someone gave you a museum to shoot in. You should have made best use of those scenes but you did not. There was nothing exciting about it. There were sound problems with car horns. It was so loud that I had to put fingers in my ears. Out of the blue an African American guy (John Legend) gives Ryan a deal and music contract. There was no development for that plot point. Damien you need to really work hard on screen writing skills. I wonder who gave you money to make this film for such a weak screenplay. At one point the African American guy says to Ryan.. you are pain in the as. Ryan! honestly you are pain in the .... I, so badly wanted to like this film and wanted some scene to touch me but when that moment came where Emma is called back for an audition. I thought she will tell her own story which was so powerful, she tells some aunt's story which made no sense to the story line. What a disaster! Emma says at the end...It hurts a little bit. You know what, I am hurt. I need Damien Chazelle and Ryan Gosling to send me apology letter for making such a bad film which I had to go and see . I was in tears when I left the theater. I am sure you will read this and you know where to write me. My IMDb email address. Best Regards, Z",2 "Its good news for all Comedy genre lovers as here comes a fine tuned comic flick with some great performances after a long time. Out of all the genres of film-making I consider Comedy as the toughest one since each individual viewer has his own kind of sense of humor and it's really tough to make everyone laugh at the same time. Any comic attempt can easily go over the top if not equipped with some right, powerful and timely punches. And if you are dealing with a concept based on the identity of the world's most famous personality OSAMA BIN LADEN then the vision of its makers really matter a lot. Fortunately ""TERE BIN LADEN"", comes up as a clear winner, offering you a highly enjoyable time in the theater with a fresh and daring subject. As a sigh of relief at last we get a well written comedy to enjoy, where people are not just running after one another or greeting each other with mistaken identities as seen in countless comedies in the last few years. The movie once again proves a strong point of film-making that a pleasing project solely depends upon its writing, script and execution more than its star-cast. The fact was earlier proved decades before by ""Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron"" and more recently by ""Khosla Ka Ghosla"". Now ""TERE BIN LADEN"" proves it once again, as the common man is appreciating it, even when he is not familiar with any of the faces seen on the screen. Based on the subject of creating a fake personality of OSAMA and then shooting his forged tapes to earn some quick bucks, the film is immensely likable right from its first sequence of deporting the lead hero by mistake. The other big factor which becomes an instant hit with the viewers is its perfect casting where every characters is able to bring in some more laughter with his own unique lines. For instance, the Channel owner, the helpless editor, the witty cameraman, the makeup girl and the voice over artist, each one of them has a different quality to win over the audience. And on top of all there is Ali Zafar, the hero with his impeccable timing and Pradhuman Singh who is made to pose as the fake OSAMA in a highly hilarious manner. Beside this, what really works is the mixed language used in the movie with insertions of Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi lines written intelligently. In fact it's the Punjabi abusives used by Pradhuman dressed as OSAMA which makes you laugh aloud and you really want him to keep abusing at regular intervals. Yes, the movie does take some huge liberties while showcasing the retaliation of White House (after watching the forged tapes). But if you are dealing with a theme on OSAMA then America and White house has to be there as a mandatory clause. So, considering it as a hilarious satire on the system, it's a fine funny take on the whole world fighting with the current situation of terror. A comedy mainly works, when a well crafted script gets an ample support from its performers and they all have a good time working together. Luckily, that is the main USP of ""Tere Bin Laden"" where everyone gels together perfectly and contributes a lot to the overall experience. Frankly speaking, performance wise, the movie was a pleasant surprise for me as I knew Ali Zafar, the lead hero of the film, only as a talented singer-composer and Pop Icon of Pakistan. He did a successful pop album for us in India titled ""MASTY""and you might remember the hit song from the album called ""Sun Ri Sajaniya"". But I never knew that Ali had such a hidden acting talent in him. He is surely the find of the season for both India and Pakistan and should soon be getting more deserving offers of acting. Among the rest of the cast, Pradhuman Singh as OSAMA is too funny playing with his Sikander (the chicken). The film could have fallen flat if he would have faltered in his role of a fake OSAMA. But he is simply superb looking exactly similar to the real one. Piyush Mishra, Sugandha Garg, Nikhil Ratnaparkhi, Rahul Singh and Chirag Vohra as a collective team are all terrific. Berry John gives another controlled performance of a US representative. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music supports the feel and pace of the movie completely. The music grows on you and as the end credits are rolling you feel like loving it. Cinematography is fine but the dialogues and its one liners are just fantastic. In all, I could only find one small glitch in this almost perfect movie, related to its main region of operation. The film confusingly keeps shifting between different regions of India and Pakistan. With its major characters and sequences representing the neighboring region it gives you a feeling of a collaboration kind of project which is sadly not mentioned anywhere in the film credits. So the unexplainable regional disparities in backgrounds, getups and physical appearances remain the only hick-up in this immensely likable comedy. If ""Khosla Ka Ghosla"" gave us Dibaker Banerjee then ""Tere Bin Laden"" has given us another ace debutant writer-director Abhishek Sharma. And I am really expecting more worth watching movies coming from him pretty soon. So, stop thinking and just go for it with your entire family at the earliest and have a good time. (""Tere Bin Laden"" also finds its place in my ""Movie To See Before You Die"" list as its an out of the box comedy based on a rare and daring concept never tried before.)",8 "The best part of this film was Christian Bale acting as the brash and short-tempered Ken Miles. His performance was excellent and compelling. The cinematography, editing, effects and soundtrack all made the whole film flow smoothly. The story was engaging all the way, though it was quite long. The racing scenes were exciting and well made.",7 "I enjoyed the first film. This film however was attrocious. I considered leaving the theatre. Have all you people who enjoyed this got a bag over your head? You could see the embarrassment on Hardy's face when he said his one liners. He was clearly there just for the money. Can someone please teach the robots who make these films what humour and a plot is, because I dislike paying money and wasting time on garbage. I guess it's my own fault for having hope in Disney. Walter would be ashamed.",1 "Basically this is the film Splash reversed, with the land lubber being the Girl and the fish the Guy. But minus any of the charm or humour. It also plays like an extended episode of The X Files. But minus the charm or humour. Over rated",4 "This probably has been the biggest film of 2023. It was also the most shocking film of 2023 because really people didn't know what to expect. This certainly isn't the Barbie film I expected. It's not aimed at little girls, it takes massive swings at popular culture and society, and actually has a real sense of heart. Because of all these things you'll either love it or hate it. There's nobody really in the middle on this film, the reaction is so wide spread. I thought it was fine, I thought it was a nice broad comedy that we don't always have these days. Both the two leads were great, and there are lots of lovely moments. It is preachy, it does hit you over the head with its messages, but on the whole it remains bright and colourful.",6 I can't understand the glowing reviews for this series. Well acted and nicely shot but the story is uncompelling and drawn out. The book may have made a good stand alone movie but the story was far too dragged out for a seven part series. Pretty dull.,4 "Usually I use this website to see when new seasons of shows are coming or ratings on movies, but this time I'm going to write a review. This show has brought up a lot of unspoken themes. Themes that we need to talk about more often and acknowledge because otherwise things can go extremely wrong! I liked all season, but after watching season 4 over this weekend I found my favorite season. A lot of bad stuff happens in this season, but somehow all the good stuff adds up to it and it becomes a ""happy"" season. So many people either get hurt or die throughout this entite show, but in season 4 a lot of good stuff happens aswell! People find themselves and in one of the episodes they unite, despite their differences! Major character developments which is perfect for their senior year! Thank you for a great show, and the ending was beautiful!",9 "I mean I'm sorry to all those who disagree but this series has ended up exhausting every single reason of existence, first season was really great but with every other season that followed it only got more repetitive and the dialogs way too forced and stupid at times with the single purpose of exposition, even when it comes to the acting although some child actors have done really well by their roles there are some who definitely overstay their welcome...and of course they had to drop the generic ""bad Russians"" trope to the mix with only one...one exception. All I'm saying is that this would be a much more meaningful story of grief pain friendship and redemption with a great villainous entity had it only gotten one season.",6 Surely this movies action is outstanding.. But i disagree with few cast in this film.Negative represent of Bangladesh. Poor study of Bangladeshi culture...,3 I seriously can't understand how this show is rated so high. It is so stupid. The main character is just dumb. She's such a self-righteous drama queen. She just blames everyone else for her shortcomings and makes their lives horrible by leaving those tapes. We are waiting for some big mystery to be revealed through the show and then there is just nothing. No climax. Can't stand to watch it.,1 "I read the books 7 years ago and heard they were turning the books into a movies, after 8 years I saw an advertisement on FB and went to search for the series it was only on Shudder and Sundance. I don't like horror so I purchased Sundance, just to watch A Discovery of Witches. They did and amazing job on the cast each episode was great, as I stated I haven't read the books in 7 years and it just unfolded before my eyes each seen every word I was seeing. I truly was so impressed it made the waiting worth it. Im glad to hear two more seasons are coming. Each cast member did a great job beginning each character to life. Matthew Goode and Teresa Palmer, wow. I have been a fan of Matthew Goode and when I saw the trailer a wasn't sure if he could pull off the characters, but the first episode he proved me so wrong. The author books have truly coming to life........",10 "I thought this was pretty solid, but I got kind of bored in the last couple final episodes. I'm not an MCU fan, there's only maybe 3 MCU movies I thought were good, the rest that I've seen were just too regurgitated plottage for me personally. Moon Knight was a bit different from the usual which I liked, but then it started to fall into the predictable standard formula (dangit). I recommend it though, will watch a s2 if there is one bc it gave me MK1 nostalgia vibes, I think bc Ethan hawke character channels Raiden lol. The cgi was really nicely done too. All in all room for improvement but better than a lot of what else is out there pertaining to Marvel. Would love it to be darker.",6 "I was initially draged to watch this movie because my wife wanted to watch it, and I can't really claim to have had much of an interest in a movie revolving around magicians and magical parlor tricks. But still, it might actually turn out to be an alright movie, given the rather impressive list of cast ensemble. However, ""Now You See Me"" turned out to be nothing more than a mediocre storyline wrapped up in a display of impressive effects and topped off with some big names on the cast list. It was, for a lack of better words, not an overwhelmingly entertaining movie. The storyline was adequate, but it just lacked that one magical ingredient to make it truly outstanding or at least leave the audience with a resonating memorable movie. But no, director Louis Leterrier didn't manage to do that. What did work in favor of the movie was the fact that it was a rather unpredictable storyline, and the audience was left in the dark, so to speak, and were guessing about what was going on most of the time. And that kind of uncertainty and unpredictability did count for something. And some of the magic tricks performed were quite interesting and spectacular, for sure. But it just didn't really work out all that great to form a movie around a mould of magic tricks. Then there was the impressive cast list, of course. And I must admit that I had hopes for the movie given the fact that Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson and Michael Caine was on the cast list. And while the individual actors and actresses did perform quite well, they just weren't able to step out of the shadow cast by the concept of the movie. ""Now You See Me"" turned out to be a mediocre movie experience for me, and I wasn't particularly impressed. Nor can I claim to be in any hurry to watch the sequel.",5 "American pathetic social conditioning about ""American Families"" again. Everyone is emotional, crying, love each other and bonds are tight. I want to puke!",4 "....I really wanted to like this tv series and I did, but it's not amazing like some ratings and reviews saying so....It's has a good story, but everything felt rushed and undeveloped. I had the same problem like many mentioning here with a plot line, past and present just not distinguish properly. Using of modern language in many character's line didn't work for me either. Over all, entertaining enough Not be bored while watching it.",7 "I see all the ""OMG OMG 10 10"" reviews and I feel most of those people got caught up in the ""one shot"" aspect of the film, and not the film itself. Yes, the long cuts (because YES there are cuts...when the camera passes by a background object and when it cuts to black) are very awesome ...at first, but by the time the soldier gets a ride with another group of soldiers, all I kept thinking is ""ok...we could use with a few time jumps here..."" and by the time he ends up in the water, I was squirming with a desire for the fast forward button. It's like watching a REALLY awesome 3-D movie...you love it, but sometimes you just wish more was done for the script and less for the stunning shots. I hesitate to use the word ""tiresome"" but yes... So my issue ...the options for modern films on WWI are very far and few between that aren't low low budget ...(lost battalion is AMAZING and a better film imo) and we don't really seem to get any glimpses of the horror that that war truly was (disease/pain/the water/cold/gas etc etc) and I had hoped this film would highlight some of that...but instead they went with a visual treat, which is fine...just not what I'd hoped for. They TRY to show you trench life, and life in the mud, but you never at any time really feel ""what a nightmare"" like Full Metal Jacket/Saving Pvt Ryan, etc etc. which again is fine. It's still a well made film, with many visually awesome shots, and some very slow moments as well. The problem is I don't believe any of these slow moments were intended to feel slow and boring. As long as you keep one thing in mind you'll be alright. This is NOT an action movie, I'd dare say it's not even a ""war"" movie...it's about a movie set during a war is all. This film should've been marketed as a drama imo. And no I don't believe you have to show heads blown off or buckets of blood to make a good war film. ""Final Journey"" is a GREAT example of a WWI film with maybe 2% of this films budget that shows the hell of that war without gore. Still a good film, but I don't believe this one will one day take its place among the all time Great War films..",6 An ok movie. Good performances from De Niro and Foster but storyline never really got going and the music was dreadful ! A bit disappointed considering the hype and I'm a big De Niro fan 🤷‍♂️,5 "Possibly better than the original Godfather -- at least in this critic's eyes because of the amazing way it solidifies Vito's history and that amazing rooftop/parade sequence which is almost unsurpassed in film -- it easily holds its own as the greatest sequel ever. I also believe what sets it apart is the way it devolves, showing the hard lines that must be drawn in that lifestyle between brother, sister, spouse and friend. It shines a glaring spotlight on what must truly be the worst part of the lifestyle: never knowing who to trust, or who truly has your best interests at heart.",10 "Positive: insane start scene crazy, entertaining and varied action Ryan Reynolds Neutral: Deadpool-like gags (some may see it as an upgrade, others as ridiculous and cheesy) Negative:",4 Wandavision is just Great. Every Episode gets better.,9 "I'm not familiar with the original version of the Addams Family, but I was hoping to see something interesting from the once intriguing Tim Burton. I gave up in frustration at the end of the fourth episode. Oh yes, Burton really seems to have lost his mojo at this point, at least in my opinion. Jenna Ortega is really good and plays the character well, but everything else is mediocre to be kind. A few interesting sections (Wednesday playing the violin on the roof, the dance scene, and a few quotes) are not enough to make passable a series that mixes the most boorish teen drama with the most generic detective slash monster story possible. Too bad indeed.",5 "I am all for classy movies first off. I feel like films that film itself in the way of the 40s and 50s are fantastic to me and highly nostalgic. The look in this film is by far the best thing about it. Everything is looked, shot and just overall made to please the eye. And wow it really does get that across. The acting from pretty much everyone is consistently good. However, while the directing, acting, camera work and set design were great. The writing was to off the walls. Amsterdam is a film that goes a mile a minute and tries to push weird plot points, new characters and clues to the mystery constantly. And for a mystery film, it doesn't really work and by the end of the film, I felt like it was both to complicated and to easy of a conclusion. Overall while I highly enjoyed watching the film, Amsterdam suffers from a very clunky story and its own controversy from the director.",6 Disgusting terrible show! Not worth your time to watch this terrible unwatchable show!,1 "It seems futile to do a plot synopsis, as most of the planet should've seen this movie by now. Over the years I've tried my best to look at this film with a critical eye and not be influenced by nostalgia. But the nostalgia runs strong with this whole trilogy. Still, I can openly admit the flaws with the first film. And it becomes all the more easy with the bloated mess that is Spider-Man 3. But even after dozens (and I mean dozens) of viewings, this still stands up as one of the best, if not the best film to come out of the now over packed Super Hero genre. The main question Spider- Man 2 poses is - What are you willing to give up to be a hero? At the heart of this movie is Peter's struggle to live any semblance of a normal life while grappling with the responsibility being Spider-Man carries. Sam Raimi was an avid Spidey comic reader growing up and his understanding of the character and themes presented therein is simply unmatched. The thing that separates Spider-Man from other super heroes is his struggles are grounded. He can't hold down a job, he's failing at school, his relationships are falling apart. Things your everyday person can relate to. Compounding his stressful daily life is a new threat in the form of one of the greatest comic book villains ever put to screen - Doc Ock. There's a reason Alfred Molina's appearance in the No Way Home trailer broke the internet. He's just that damn good! His super villain origin story is tragic. At his core he's a good man with good intensions. Who's own intelligence and ego ultimately become his downfall. Watching the Jekyl & Hyde back and forth between Ock and his mechanical arms creates a captivating dynamic unlike anything put to screen before or after. Although I wish they would've kept him alive, his sacrifice at the end of the film is undeniably powerful. I still get chills every time I hear, ""I will not die a monster."" Tobey Maguire also gives us the quintessential iteration of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. You can't watch the train sequence and tell me he didn't give this role 110%, constipation memes aside. He brilliantly encapsulates everything that's great about the character. Peter's a deeply conflicted man being torn between two worlds. But as this film shows, even without the powers Peter Parker is still a hero at heart. Every aspect of this movie is near flawless. Danny Elfman's score is riveting, the action set pieces have such style and provide some truly unique and memorable fight choreography. Most of the CGI holds up extremely well to this day. I still have to remind myself almost all of Spidey's web slinging is completely digital. It also has one of the best CGI shots of the decade, with the corpse of Doc Ock floating underwater. Yes that's entirely CGI. They actually attempted a close up shot of a human being fully submersed in water in 2004... Mind blowing! I could rave about this movie all day, as I do believe it to be the pinnacle of the genre. It's funny, romantic, touching, dramatic, brilliantly shot and even manages to throw in some of Raimi's signature brand of Horror that jump started his career. With Spider-Man 2 Sam Raimi has crafted a comprehensive character study with some brilliant performances and plenty of bombastic Spidey vs Doc Ock action. Anyone who gives this move less than 4 stars should be psychiatrically evaluated. Super Hero movies just don't get better than this!",10 "Oh come on 2nd best movie ever, I don't think so. It's unrealistic and overly sentimental, the people who voted so high can't have seen many films. By all means watch it, but Papillion for example, is far superior, who can forget Steve McQueen's red rimmed eyes and pasty face as he catches bugs, and crushes centipedes into his watery broth to get nourishment in that incredible portrayal of hardship and determination. I wouldn't put Papillion as the 2nd best film of all time, but it has to be the best Prison drama. Watch Shawshank and you'll enjoy it as a lightweight entertaining feel good movie, but there are so many classic films better than this.",5 when the guy was taking a shower and the cops came and spreed him and took him to jail.when went home his mom spank him that was funny.the acing was good.she and i buried time capsule hear.they promised meet her two years lather.he want to meet a girl like in the romantic comic book.it a really good movie. the action was good.it a really funny movie.the jokes was funny.the movie was funny.it was sad.the plot was good.i like the action at the them park.this movie was grate. this movie was the greatest movie ever saw. this movie was really funny. i recommend this movie i recommend it because it has a good plot. this is the most hilarious move ever saw,10 "I must admit I've never even heard of the real-life plot that forms the basis of the story that's told to us in David O. Russell's new film ""Amsterdam"" but I think it needed something more than the daft comedy-thriller Russell serves up, (I use the term 'comedy-thriller' cautiously as there is definitely a dearth of comedy on show). It's actually pretty terrible for about three-quarters of its lengthy two and a quarter hour running time, picking up in the last half hour when 'the plot' is finally revealed but by then it's much too little too late and a really rather good cast is totally trashed by the director. It begins in 1933, flashes back briefly to 1918/19 before returning to the early thirties when fascism was on the rise in Europe and in America too if this film is to be believed. Christian Bale and John David Washington are the battle-scarred pals from the trenches who find themselves caught up in the murder of their former commander and his daughter and who go off to clear their names like a couple of amateur sleuths out of an Agatha Christie spoof. Bale's terrific, (when isn't he), proving that even with substandard material he can still light up the screen like few others. Washington can't really compete nor indeed can anyone else though Michael Shannon is very good in much too small a role and Robert DeNiro just about salvages his reputation in the last part of the picture. It certainly looks great if a little over-designed but this is one David O Russell movie I won't be returning to anytime soon.",4 "Apart from the last 30 minutes this film didn't live up to expectations. TG-M had so much potential, particularly with the political backdrop and the prospect of nuclear conflict but the director focussed more on individuals and personal relationships. This film was I'm guessing aimed at a younger. More woke audience and for chick-flick fans. Very touchy feely in parts. Top Gun with its all-star cast and rip-roaring soundtrack was far superior to this nonsense. The critical acclaim is all out of proportion so I give it 3/10.",3 "1: it's slow. 2: very slow. 3: very, very slow. 4: and repetitive. 5: slow. 6: very slow 7: and repetitive 8: and repetitive 9: slow 10: very slow 11: and repetitive 12: slow 13: if in doubt, it's slow. And repetitive. Very slow. Very repetitive.",1 "His isn't a typical bollywood film filled with unnecessary songs, dances, romances or titillating bodies. No. This is a straight forward ""zero dark thirty""-esque no-nonsense plot driven gritty war thriller. The actors are all great but Vicky Kaushal easily stands out amongst them all. The production value can give Hollywood films a run for their money. At times it tends to be slightly jingoistic but thankfully those times pass by soon. Majority of the film takes a realistic approach to the surgical strike events. Also, contrary to beliefs, this film doesn't show any country or religion in bad light, just terrorists hiding in a neighbouring country. A great watch overall. Full paisa vasool.",10 "I don't provide the reviews for the movies much but I thought this one deserves applaud. This is a one of the best movie I ever seen in Bollywood. Honestly I am daam tired of Karan Johar, Sharukh khan and all other Punjabi accent movies. If you are expecting the typical masal movie like lagan or chakde India then this movie is way different from them. I literally felt ashame how our society is divide. This is not about slum, we all know how the slum people live but this is about how we really care about each other. I am not going to provide the same review as others must have already covered about the best songs, background scores etc. Every one in this movie acted so good and very realistic. They are all on top. But what I like most the how the spirit of each individual are portrait in this movie and hold it till the end. The movie is not about football but how these underprivileged kids gets transformed from worst to best. Given with the right conducive environment, and oppourtunity any one can acheive the success, especially one who has talent. It also show there exist the people like Vijay Barse who can only see the best in the kids and try to uplift them given the right oppourtunity. The last scene of this movie is an epic, please observed it carefully. Hats off to the director, one of the few who is capable of providing the expression without any dialogues. Every scene will throb your heart. This movie is made at very different level, not other directors can even be close. I think Nagraj Manjule is going to one the best directors (like Shyam Benegal, Satyajit Ray) in our country but we must also support such movies. Please watch this movie, and there is a lot to take away from this movie. Best direction, best music, best cinematogrphy, best cast. Don't watch this on NetFlix or online. To experience it one should watch it on big screen!! I wish the great success for this movie, deserved a national award!!",10 I really like Tom hardy and I thought the first one was ok but this one was so much better. My kids really liked it.,8 "I came here to see what the hype was all about. I started the series at 10am, less than 12 hours later and I am done and I report: worth the watch. We have all seen or can accurately guess from Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston the typical formulae of the Bodyguard. But I mistakenly assumed this series would be the usual romantic trash Hollywood churns out. Its not. The series picks up well and builds on it but midway I have to admit I was bored and only ploughed on as it was a mere 6 episodes. Im glad I did as it picks a faster and more interesting pace in Episode 5. All the attention to detail and minutiae pays off soo well in this series. Acting by supporting leads is superb as you can never accurately guess who to pin the blame on. Use of music is done well here too. I do recommend this series, regardless if the hype train brought you here, stay for the ride. Im keen to see how this develops for a season 2.",8 "First of all, It's more violent than other Marvel Content from past year. I most definitely don't mean this, in a bad way, but rather it gives a furthermore better perspective into the show, without holding back as much, in certain scenarios. In my opinion, I enjoy the plot, for what it is. It makes sense for what the Flag Smashers are fighting for, but it also makes you question the reality, and the extent to which they do, what they do.",9 Huge respect for our soldiers who put their life at risk and neutralized the terrorists. The movie does justice to their heroics.,10 "I am a fan of Selena Gomez of her show, Selena and chef. But I haven't seen her in a scripted series since her Disney wizards of Waverly place. Great show, she was amazing, every scene she was in, she mastered it. Splendid. Im a fan of crime dramas but if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be invested into this show. Great show, refreshing, perfection.",10 Linda boring.. I expected more i guess... Great acting the movie is juste not for me.,3 "I see a lot of negative comments for this movie. I think it's mostly from old stick in the mud types that want something deep and meaningful. For anyone else who can still remember high school or who is in high school, the movie rings mostly true. This is pretty much what adolescence was like for me minus a few of the over the top gags. It is much more accurate than any other teen movie out there. The dialogue is great, the kids are real. Fogell is amazing for his first acting work ever. If you don't want to see a teen highschool comedy, don't go see this movie. It's not that hard to understand.",9 "I dozed off watching this movie multiple times, it's just a average movie, but i thought Venom was evil? Lol anyways it's probably a 4.5 but I'll round it making it a solid 5",5 "Basically no blood, no nudity, no sex. Even the Witcher games are bolder. Plot drags and production values are mediocre if even that. Basically nothing happens. I believed they'll put money into this one, but no. I've now seen 2 episodes and not sure if I will finish the season one. That is how boring this is. If you don't believe, check yourself. Most will be disappointed.",8 "This movie is a perfect example of a film that came out hot but won't stand the test of time. The actors do a fine job with what they're given, but... It's two millennials so caught up in their own ""I'm special"" narcissism that they don't notice anything else around them. Then Ryan Gosling teaches John Legend and a bunch of other African-American musicians about the true meaning of Jazz, the ending fizzles out to a non-resolution that makes me wonder what the point was, and I'm angry at the two hours of my life I'll never get back. Oh, and let's not forget the fact that a massive marketing campaign snagged a Best Song Oscar for ""City of Stars""-possibly the laziest and most tryptophan-like song ever written-beating out Lin-Manuel Miranda's ""How Far I'll Go."" Thank god this movie will be forgotten in five years.",2 "Not going to much details but a really great series. To show the origin of a character and flesh it out perfectly is what has been done and the CGI is one of the best done by Marvel. The 3 personalities are so different and are played to perfection by Oscar Isaac. Specially the Mr knight humour gives the last few episodes the much needed laughs in the intense scenes. Recomend it to every Marvel fan and hope to see Season 2 asap with more on Jake lockley. But if the powers of each avatar atleast a little could be confirmed would be great.... Like how do they all of a sudden chant in some ancient Egyptian toung...",8 "Just finished watching TVF pitchers finale yesterday and let me tell u this that i am forced to write this reviews because it is so much awesome,exciting and realistic that you cannot stop yourself from doing this. Mature acting,wonderful cinematography ,superb background score, a great direction and yeah not to forget fresh script(Perfect one from which youth can relate themselves) and realistic dialog have made this series one the best from TVF. One thing not to forget the music of this series is one of the plus points while watching .Specially the title track . whenever i listen to it ,it gives me goosebumps. Keep up the good work guys. Hats offfff!!!!!!!!!!! Arunabh sir.",10 "Satirical. Wannabe cautionary tale. Almost a comedy. Dressed-up as a who-dun-it with a laudable and worthy cast, doubtless each of whom saw some facet of potential in the script. There are bright moments where a flame is almost sustained. In reaching for everything -- it grasps nothing. A terrific opportunity for most cast members to stretch and grow, to demonstrate new range and reach for the kind of roles previously filled by major talents recently lost to the ravages of time. Ultimately it is grating to watch as the off camera talent was missing or massively divided in their conceptions which forced an ineffective compromise. Rather like watching a 2019 'slice of life' of distant relatives of 'the Baudelaire orphans' as told by stoners -- lacking the individual magic of the stunning cast of that cult classic that so charmed and amazed in 2004. So much potential lost between the fingers of incompetents. Reminds me of the parable told of the dog with the bone crossing a bridge who sees his reflection... and drops the bone. Someone needs to be sure that the Producer faction, the Director faction, and the Editor faction never work together again. It just fails to gel -- can not even sustain an emulsion. It was a struggle to finish watching this.",5 "Henry Cavill was amazing. It's like he isn't acting, he is Geralt. Mesmerized us. But Anya Chalotra was soo bad. In all sciences her acting was like ""Let's finish this scene and go home"" No match to the Yennefer at game. She needs to be strong,lustful, mysterious but instead she is just a girl with funcy magic :/. Makes no effect. Even Ciri was much more strong as character than her.",9 Unbelievable. The characters are blindfolded but they manage to drive a car on streets cluttered with wrecks and debris. Blindfolded they manage to walk through the forest and find cabins. Blindfolded they manage to float down a whitewater river on their way to some sanctuary. It is filled with. Political correctness in it's obvious diversity. There is a subtle dig at President Trump. There is the interracial couple of a black man and white women I see so often in lots of movies today. The sanctuary they finally make it to is a liberal idealistic San Francisco community center where people of every race gets along in harmony. Some of this stuff was actually funny to watch.,2 "Barbie (2023) is a movie that my wife and I saw in theaters last night. The storyline follows Barbie in a perfect world who believes she is the perfect role model for little girls in the real world. When things start feeling off for her in her world, she discovers she may need to go to the real world to set things right. When she gets to the real world, she discovers how wrong she was about being the perfect role model. This movie is directed by Greta Gerwig (Little Women) and stars Margot Robbie (Suicide Squad), Issa Rae (Insecure), Kathryn McKinnon (Bombshell), Ryan Gosling (The Notebook), Alexandra Shipp (X-Men: Apocalypse) and Will Ferrell (Elf). This movie had a lot more going for it than I anticipated. The universe and characters are very well developed, thoroughly put together with the history of the Barbie universe incorporated and a smart scripts. The dialogue and interactions were much deeper than I anticipated. There were a lot of good messages and lessons baked into the storyline. My only complaint was how much focus there was on the ""Ken's."" He was a worthwhile villain, but the ending dance scene and finding self moment was overdone; however, everything about the Barbie plot hit the nail on the head. Overall, this is better and deeper than I expected and was definitely worth a watch. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.",7 "omg this movie was so stupid, like really, waist of time,i even pulled out my cell phone and browsed fb while it was playing because of how stupid this movie was. The music at some parts was just so way over kill, too loud and too way dramatic. The whole story was crap and did not make any logical sense, so ur telling us that NASA did not know that the best pilot to fly the space ship was living only about a car drive away from ur secret hiding base? u did build a space ship to fly out but cant have mri machines anymore? a drone was flying for 10 years and no one saw it or knew about it? wtf, its like the person who wrote this movie was like thinking we are all so stupid and wont understand who this movie is not making any seance. OK the only part i did like about the movie was when they found the bad guy who try to kill the main character, that was something interesting, and his trying to dock into the space station, it was nice story but still none nonsensical. bc with time, it just don't make any sense, so they 2 walk away from the space ship and then when he called the space ship to rescue him u can see they fly so far, no way they could of walk that distance, then at the same time they rescue the good guy via plane, the bad guy can walk all the way back to another plane? while a 3rd one get blown up???wtf and also how many shipped did they send anyways, it just did not make any sense to me this movie. its just way too stupid. sorry, but it was.i want my money back!",1 Poor writing and an awful storyline makes the Nolan franchise limp off into the night.,4 She is soooo irritating!!!!didnt enjoy it at all. One of the shows that keep getting worse with every season,3 "I remember hearing about 12 kills and 38 wounded for this movie. I expected something spectacular! I only saw Batman got his ass beat so bad than ever before!!! Moreover he ends up to a miserable underground prison, he eats this shitty food and like a miracle he finds his old strength out of nothing! No special moves, no action (except of *some* basic punches and kicks) at all. The basic evil character and our hero were fighting like girls! I don't remember not once Batman flying with his cape (a classic scene)... The girl (like cat-woman?) makes more special moves than our hero. I think this was a bad decision that the director made. Another drawback is that the main hero-characters Batman and Commissioner James Gordon, where wounded so bad for at least half of the movie. This spoiled all the action. I wanted to see actions from these characters, not the side ones (Selina Kyle and Blake). Lucius Fox seems like an old guy who even can't climb a small ladder-see scene. The worst Batman movie (even the one with A. Schwarzenegger)... Big disappointment.",5 "I saw entirely positive reviews of this when it came out. The idea of a good Adam Sandler film was certainly novel, so I gave it a go. My recommendation to the film makers would be to see The Long Good Friday, an English film from 1980 which deals with a similar tale of dodgy dealings and a protagonist's come-uppance. Although it looks dated now, it manages to combine grit with strong characterisation and bucket loads of humour. It wasn't until I watched it for about the tenth time that I realised how little swearing there is. Uncut Gems could be shortened by about 20 minutes simply by cutting out the redundant expletives. It would have been more emotionally absorbing if the writers had troubled to make the characters seem believably human and add a little humour (there was only one laugh in over two hours). As it was, I didn't care about any of them and didn't feel any tension, only irritation at the ceaseless yelling. Some dynamic modulation wouldn't have gone amiss. I would have given the film one star, but Kevin Garnett acted pretty well.",2 "Some people here clearly dont understand what this series is based on? Old horror/thriller movies and clearly third season took plot points from old ""commie"" hating american movies. I liked the third season since I felt second one dragging too much. Now there was constant action after the second episode and felt like every single character had their own unique plot which was just outstanding. Overall: S1:9/10 S2:8/10 S3:9/10",9 "I had high hopes for this film. Trailers can be deceiving. It's not Hardy's best- people here are saying to ignore critics. If we ignore critics, then why read critic reviews at all? The storyline was scattered and performances average. Large waste of money (the budget I mean)",5 "I just saw the movie couple hours ago and i liked it. I think its a good movie but it could be better, feels like the directors didnt want to risk too much and stay on a good movie. This movie is entertaining from the beginning to the end, the actors did a very good perfomance. The story is simple and may have alredy been used in another movie, but still a good decent movie.",7 "I'd really really looked forward to seeing this movie and was thrilled when I saw its release on SKY Cinema channel (UK and Ireland) Jesus was I ever disappointed. I got so bored, I paused it multiple times to do laundry, change bed linen cook dinner and bake bread. Self indulgent overrated rubbish from Quentin Tarantino. 🙄👎",3 "Most older viewers will go in to this to see Steve Martin and Martin Short team up while younger viewers are likely here for Selena Gomez. You will certainly get your fill as far as screen time goes, but not quite the best as far as performances go. All three are fine enough in their roles but we are talking a spoofy murder mystery here. Steve Martin gets more humor and drama than the others and does well with it and generally being a lot less over the top than we are used to seeing him - which I found refreshing. Martin Shorts character works more an annoyance that lets others be funny although he does have some funny lines, but much less than we normally see. Selena Gomez is a bit uneven. She works best when she is investigating and not so good when she is supposed to be emotional. It can't be easy holding your own with this cast, but I do think she held her ground pretty well. The story is a spoof about crime/murder podcasts and manages to go through many different phases during the 10 episode run. It started strong and then ambles along very pleasantly until it crescendos with a very good final episode. It feels comfortable all the way through and that isn't a bad thing. In this age of media violence this is a balm that I looked forward to watching each week and enjoyed until the end.",7 "But the screenplay is too weak to stand in a row with that meticulously crafted production design, cinematography, and acting. I'm deeply impressed with visuals that authors developed for this film. It is something from another era, it's how the movie made in middle of 19th century could look like, if cinema was invented one century earlier. Casting is fantastic. Loved the performances of both Defoe and Patisson. I heard that shooting conditions were really similar to what wee see on screen. It was cold, wet and miserable. And in cases like that you can truly appreciate the craft of an actor when they manages overcome the physical difficulties and deliver a believable character from another world. I'd like to be invested in those characters but they just fall flat in the end, and I didn't care about them both. Why? So, the script... It was raw and undeveloped. It was all over the places: a bit of father/son drama, some Lovecraft visuals, some Greeks myths, some Shining. Not a clear quote in particular and not an original story by itself. The tone of jokes and quarrels was inconsistent and gave a hard time understanding the motivation of characters. This picture holds so much water that it soaks into the plot. It's clearly a rushed script. Collage of madness that could work if had one core idea, that would shine through all this mess as a... yes, a lighthouse! But then it would be a work of genius. Because it's easy to shoot a fever dream, but it is extra hard to make a great story from kaleidoscope of bad dreams. The authors just put every ingredient they could, hoping that the atmosphere will bring it somewhere. But it didn't. And it's a pity. The VVitch was simpler and more lucid in it's core, - in it's screenplay. And it worked much better in the end. VVitch is a solid movie with simple bold idea. And Lighthouse feels like a very ambitious student project. I rate it 5, because great production without good script is just half of a movie. But I believe that Robert Eggers can still grow in one of the greatest directors of our time because the way he choose his projects it's a rare case in modern movie world. So I'll keep my searchlight on.",5 "Right off the bat I have to say, while enjoyable, this show is slightly overrated. Shortly - it's one well done coming of age story. Summary promising us ""a troubled genius"" made me expect some serious psychological drama and few dilemmas here and there. Instead, most of this series feels like a documentary. Our protagonist's upward and downward spirals are shown in complete silence. We see her actions but her mind is closed to the viewer, except the chess board. I wish they explored that part more. The beginning and the end are wonderful. There are few unexpected twists and turns, some even left me speechless. Last episode concludes everything nicely. Easily 9 or 10. But the middle part is a bit lacking with endless cycle of matches and tournaments. Is this something that I liked watching - yes. Do I grin like an idiot when rewatching favorite scenes - also yes. Is it ground-breaking - not really. Did this make me play chess again - 100% yes.",8 "The movie has not the taste that first movie has. This is a looong movie. During the first hour, almost nothing happens but you can watch it without getting bored due to the good acting and the perfect island views -when those duo come together the thing on the screen must be good- but unfortunatelly it is not good enough. Humor is not good enough. Mystery is not good enough. There were something missing but i could not figure it out. I have watched the entire movie almost without getting bored but i can't say that i liked it so much. I am recommending this movie to who have free time and watch something cheesy. It is a nice option to watch when you want to see summer times, sun, sea, blue sky...",6 "One of the greatest book adaptations on to the T.V screen The Witcher flows seamlessly making it able to immerse newcomers with no idea of any prior material related to the plot. The actors are phenomenal and the tone and pace of the show perfectly aligned with the books and games. The cinematography is beautiful as it captures the world of a witcher in a spectacular manner while being faithful to the source material. It has the right amount of darkness, fantasy and action blended perfectly with not a tad bit of making it over the top or underwhelming. The real hero although that must be mentioned is its screenplay which made it a faithful and inspired adaption of the novels. Rating:4/5 #thewitcher #thewitchernetflix #henrycavill #netflix #netflixandchill #thewitcher3 #series #seriesnetflix #seriesreview #moviereview",9 "Avoid this utter rubbish if you can unless you want to torture yourself.This movie is nothing but filth from the beginning to the end.The story line is absolutely scattered and wandering from one plot to another looks like someone was scribbling the screenplay while the shooting was ongoing,The audience in the hall was as confused they didn't know if this was a comedy or a gangland movie,IMO and the way they were laughing at every filthy word the audience rated this as a comedy. Songs were pathetic too so you can now imagine what utter nonsense this apology for a movie is.",1 "The storyline was very intriguing, it kept us clinging to our seats. Every character gave their best efforts in the film. Cinematography was a masterpiece.",9 """Forrest Gump"" failed to ""grab"" me from the outset. I kept wondering throughout what was its point: are we to float through life like a feather, barely being able to comprehend its meaning? Nothing which transpired did I find uplifting or involving. Indeed, it was one of the longest, most tedious journeys I've taken in a film. Its merits to me are its technology, and not much more.",2 A well written lengthy story. Never boring. Not to be missed,7 "Loved the series! A bit slow for the first half, I didn't care about 2/3 of main characters ( only cared for Geralt and the bard). Bit too much graphic nudity. But fantastic acting, writing and visuals!",9 "Venom 1 didn't have a very interesting villain and it didn't have a very good script, but we love that movie thanks to Venom's interaction with Eddie and the fight against Riot was great fun, in this second movie we have a great and very fun interaction between Venom and Eddie and the villain Carnage was more developed and interesting than Riot, the duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes was a good choice for a movie that serves just to entertain us without a complex script, I just don't give 10 stars because it had just a fight of Venom vs Carnage.",9 From a point forward I continued watching just to see how pathetic and ridiculous this series could become even though I was getting more frustrated minute by minute. The acting is good but it really lacks a quality plot. I seriously would suggest stay away from this it's just a waste of time.,1 "I've tried to watch this film on a full lenght a good few times bit never was able to. I found it so boriiing that I never could keep a truly interest . Music is lame. Acting from Mathew Mcgonaughey is fine, but not from the other actors. Was painfull to watch, typical Hollywood movie trying to get the masses brainless with ""fireworks""( background soundtrack never ending; slow motion capture etc..) but with no or little substance. Not for me this piece of...you know;)",1 "We all have always watched many super hero shows and movies where there is a general assumption that super-heroes are gonna protect people and save them form the evil. But its DIFFERNET in THE BOYS! Super Heroes are corrupt and a group of men (the boys) take charge to bring a change in how people see their so called super heroes. The show involves a lot of abusive language but I think its fine as the intensity is almost every time high . The show is dark in a way, but the viewers will definitely enjoy as its gets more and more INTENSE.",9 "I don't like That way you Represent Bangladesh, this is not Bangladesh, came Bangladesh and see What Bangladesh really are 🙂 But the FIGHT Sence are Really good in the movie",5 I think it's pretty good so far. The story seems solid and I like the use of flash backs. It feels a bit hard to empathize with all the characters. The mum seems bitter and controlling and the dad is pretty tough and undiplomatic. The kids are quite realistic if annoying at times. My main grievance with the characters is the black teenager daughter of two white parents. It seems super weird and throws me every time she's in a scene. Maybe it will be explained in a later flash back but two episodes in she seems like a token black character which isn't good for anyone including the poor actress playing her.,5 "When you cast away all the flavor and skin, at it's core it's a story about heroes which fight the bad guys, odds always stacked against them. That being said, the setting is very gripping, clever, and subtly hints at relevant and serious themes. Characters are lovable but don't feel like they get much development beyond the setup values they are assigned at the start. Yet still, I cared very much about them and my stomach was twisting as I was watching what was going to happen to them next. Which pretty much sums it up. Even if, at times, it doesn't offer much in term of complexity when you try to dissect it and analyze it, it is thrilling to experience. It's the best distraction I afforded myself this year. Some Pros: Great setting. Nice visuals, even if at times a bit too bloody, with a very attractive combat style, great music which follows it well and promises quite some nerd-chills. The way titans are colored, their facial expressions just make them exceptionally creepy, as if they walked down from a weird modern art piece. They only add more to the special atmosphere of the show. Some Cons: Untimely internal monologues which can eat up nearly whole episodes. The very short episodes, not even 20 minutes of original material per, create inappropriately small chunks for how slowly the story progresses at times. I watched it all at once, but I can imagine it being a bit frustrating to endure through so many cliffhangers. Combat feels like it is driven by personal ""anime awesomeness"" skill rather than teamwork or some other clever aspect a tad more often than I'd like. It feel like there was a missed opportunity here to avoid falling into that mold. Overall, it's a elegant take on action packed anime. I personally recommend it. You should be bought by episodes 4~5. Oh, and I recommend watching it with the Japanese audio if you don't mind reading subtitles, the English dub isn't so great as actors they picked don't match their characters very well.",9 "It's violent, it's bloody, it's slightly gory and does contain sexual scenes. But isn't that what the Dark Ages are about? There was no internet back then for people to have virtual wars.",9 I have not seen a movie with such a good script and acting for a long time.,10 "Chris Hemsworth did a fantastic job, other actors was not upto the mark specially the Dhaka Mafia boss, saju and the kidnapped Indian kid was awefull. Bengali dialogue may be dubbed by Indian actors. The dialect of Indian banlga is not same as Bangladesh and so is the location. The shooting should be happened in Bangladesh, not India. The actor selection is awful, specially Bangladeshi parts. Correction of few details can make this film awesome. I gave extra one mark for by beautiful Bangladesh.",7 This movie covered every single point and it seems like we are watching the reality. It is a master-piece and very hard work done by all actors i n the movie and whole team.,10 "An admiration of Nolan's beautiful practical effects over computer generated is commendable. Am a fan of most of his work, but this failed to hit home for me. The seemingly arduous runtime accompanied by Han Zimmer's tense score drowning out the dialogue at times; with McConaughey portraying (a somewhat?) plausible scientist, made this quite vexing to view. Again, this a visually stunning film, which makes up for most of this but fails to connect with myself personally. Many of the concepts and theories are of interest, but they are executed with an air of pretension that can't be avoided.",6 "After ten episodes: The last three episodes have saved it. Since the major events happening at the court, everything is being put into a better, more dynamic scene. Names we know from the past are starting to come back to our years. The fight for justice is inevitable, the honor of the House Targaryen must be restored and I'm pretty sure Season 2 will be much better. Sure, it doesn't have the gory scenes and sexual scenes from GoT, but maybe there's a reason for it. Maybe it's meant to show that in the times before the reign of Robert Baratheon and Cersei Lannister, the lands were not so decadent. But that's just a maybe from someone who didn't read the original books. After seven episodes: There is something missing. It just doesn't seem to have anything to say to me. Maybe it does to you, I don't know. But what defines these series for me is that... it's the only series from which I don't eagerly expect a new episode. All the series I'm watching right now make me wait for the new episode. This one doesn't. All I get is family drama and political meetings. Even those aren't good enough to raise the standards. It just... bores me. The only actors left that do make an impression now are Matt Smith and Paddy Considine. Fabien Frankel's role has faded, so did Rhys Ifans role. Matthew Needham is promising but gets little attention at the moment. Milly Alcock and Emily Carey were brilliant, now we are left with these actors who.. don't transmit anything. So far, I'm disappointed. From 6 stars to 5 stars. Waiting for something to happen. Anything! ------------ After four episodes: I am still waiting for something to happen. So far, nothing spectacular. Comparing House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, to The Rings of Power, the prequel to The Hobbit and the LOTR, this is weaker. Why am I comparing the two? Because they are both prequels to cinematographic masterpieces, from the writings of great writers, and they appeared in the same time. While The Rings of Power already presented a lot, House of the Dragon is still keeping a slow pace. Besides the dragons, there is nothing spectacular in this. It is a lot of politics, but little action. And by action I mean both fights and sex scenes. If we remember the way GoT started, we can easily see that this has a milder beginning. Not only that, but some scenes and dialogue were even cringe, which is not acceptable in a work based on the writings of George R. R. Martin. Even more, many scenes were so predictable! This is very different from GoT and really doesn't come close to the grandiose atmosphere that it had. I'm still waiting, but so far, nothing to catch the eye. From 7 stars it took it down to 6 stars. ------------ So far, the first two episodes were dull, and the second episode was very predictable. The actors, however, are very good. Paddy Considine, Rhys Ifans, Milly Alcock and especially Matt Smith are doing a great job. Actually Matt Smith seems a perfect fit. The visuals are very good, the story is decent so far. So for now, I'll give it a 7 star rating, and as the series go on, I will make changes to this review.",7 "I went to the movie expecting to be board, for the first little bit i was quite board but once it got into it i was more and more into it, to the point were i was thinking come on you can get it go go go grab it :) so yes it ended up being a good movie. it was like no other movie in the respect it was an actual lost in space movie which would be anybody's worst nightmare just floating around yuck. you could feel the fair and anxiety with Sandra Bullock, the trailers i feel make it seem boring my thoughts from the trailer was oh man this is going to be so boring a couple of people floating in space how could this be a thriller but was impressed with what they did It is defiantly worth the watch.",6 "This movie is absolutely, deliberately funny. I just saw it last night at my cousin's house and I laughed my ass off throughout the whole movie. Jonah Hill is so hilarious in that movie, and I gotta say, although American Pie has been the funniest teen comedy of all time, this movie has actually been the key to dethrone it. That was my absolute opinion last night when I saw it. This movie is easily 100 times better than American Pie, I swear to God. There are also many things to learn like, getting to second base with your crush, failed crushes, first kisses and getting drunk for the first time in a party. This movie filled the whole summer with laughs and chair falling while having fun non-stop all the way. I give this movie an 8 out of 10. This year in my list this is the second best 2007 movie after Transformers.",8 "A lot of reviews here have already covered what is awful about this show, but to sum it up; tedious story, mediocre characters who it's impossible to care about, and the entire show (as expected) just tries to ride on the coat-tails of GOT, right down to just recycling the theme tune. The garbage casting does nothing to help either. Prince Phillip AKA Matt Smith as Daemon is just horrendous. Impossible to take seriously, and looks ridiculous with his wig on. The dialogue has none of the sharpness or same depth as before, the set pieces are in your face in places and feel forced and artificial, the cringe ""love"" interests and resulting stories are just so flat and utterly dull. Don't waste your time with this one. It sucks.",3 "I so looked forward to this film and was greatly disappointed. I find it hard to believe that it is being spoken of as an Oscar contender. Ryan Gosling was fairly good in his movements but rather weak in singing. Emma Stone is awful; I do not comprehend her popularity at all; she never seems genuine to me; I feel I can tell she's acting and cannot get into her character. Some of the dancing scenes were downright silly and the songs unrealistic, thereby giving a feeling of falsehood. The main premise was believable but depicted poorly. The cinematography was fine as were the period artifacts displayed, lending authenticity to the era. However, overall it was simply a letdown and I cannot recommend it to anyone at all.",2 "Unwatchable if you're expecting something with the feel of the first one, which had great slow burn subtext and interesting family dynamics wrapped around an intriguing mystery with moral quandaries for the characters to navigate. Each character in the sequel is a leaden parody of a type with no depth or subtly or real relationship to each other. Blanc is here just a collection of silly quirks. There's no one to root for. The actors are there just to wear the clothes and prance around the sets. The parodies are lame and, to be fair, a lot less fun given the news of the last couple of years. The writer/director seems to have come down with popular-itis, where the thrill of having famous people clamor to be in your sequel and of having the power to direct beautiful women in bikinis all days overrides all interest in story and character. Middle aged men surrounded by beautiful slim women is a Hollywood power player trope that makes for a very boring film.",3 "When season 1 came out it showed up in my recommendations, so I figured sure why not. By the end of the season finale I was just in awe. One the best shows I have seen in years. I have been waiting for a year for season two to come out. I just got done binge watching it and season two is a huge disappointment. It was like watching the second Matrix movie destroying the franchise. I don't know what they were thinking but I could barely make it through. Season 1: 10/10 Season 2: 4/10",7 "Ok, so this is going to be a huge movie, and people will have it as their best ever movie lists, and LOVE it! I wasn't that excited after having seen the trailer, but off we went. I ended up dozing through a good chunk of the movie! I just don't care about Na'vi kids, families, nature and any of that stuff. Throw in some cliched characters and gung ho action movie americanisms and I'm even more bored. The visuals are of course super stunning. Once they finally get to the water, the visuals are next level. There are lovely messages about nature, The brutality of humanity and colonialism, family, friendship etc, but I really didn't care. The last hour actually was really exciting and action packed, so I left on a more positive note than the first two hours! My partner LOVED it. He was blown away by the visuals and nature, so that's all good. I know I will be a minority who wasn't that impressed, so don't let me put you off. I just wish they could have edited it into a tight 2 hour experience, instead of the never ending 3+hours that it was for me.",4 "One of those independant films, not big budget, but unusually these days, has an interesting story Dramatic (and violent) start gets you hooked from the get go and thereafter you are drawn ever deeper into the ghostly (and gruesome) story This was a well made film and an entertain watch if you like the graphic horror (with a good story) genre Not much more to say without revealing the story, which has shades of 'the monkeys paw' if you remember that . I would give this a very solid 7.5/10. Good enought to watch more than once . I forecast a sequel in due course and I hope they don't ruin the premis in doing so.",7 I think the show is fair but despite its title the main character doesnt get as much screen time as id like. After all its based on a game which ive played. All i can say is they tried to hard to have intertwining stories that break off of what the witcher is doing. Its really boring until the action starts which mostly is tens mins broken up in hour long epsiodes,5 "I'm just going to talk about the last half of season 4, and in particular the final 2 episodes. Why they felt they needed to film these two at 0.5x speed is beyond me. Sure it adds suspense when they do it every now and again but come on!!! 2 and a half hours could have easily been whittled down to an hour and a half.",5 "This is an intriguing limited series bolstered by great acting and a mysterious mind boggling concept. When the mystery is revealed, the movie slowly moves toward a typical ending of so many Mr. King's novels. There are great moments throughout the series. But the ultimate resolutions falters and doesn't live up to what was building in the first parts. Too bad. Still recommend watching.",7 "A nice attempt and good effort in trying something new, but after 2 episodes in, I couldn't watch it anymore, it's getting really boring. Good effort tho. Would not recommend.",2 Probably some of the worst South African accents....especially the judge. Should have filmed it in South Africa with a few local actors.,6 "Shahid and Kareena boards the train from Mumbai CST.Shahid gets off at a small station and the railway clock shows 2.15 in the morning.Next they miss the train and rush into a cab following the train. The train now arrives at Ratlam (which does not fall in to central railway)The announcement says Punjab Mail which goes via Agra and the last stop for said train is Amritsar and NOT Delhi! The railway clock now shows 12.35 in the morning!!! (Watch the clock time when Kareena is coming out of the station)were they actually time-travel??!!!!! It appears that director never traveled in the Indian Railway. Where did he see that a second class compartment can actually takes you through the AC First class?",4 "Review: This theme was seen in M:I-4 and Skyfall, where the hero has to hide and use his brains. Now with Captain America, I thought the first movie was okay, one of the better Marvel movies, not great but OK, so I went along with my friend hoping for something better. It gets off to a kinetic start only to lose steam before blowing everything up. 3D technology appears to be very lacking for fast close action fighting sequences. The biggest fault found in The Winter Soldier is that it does not address the whereabouts of other heroes or where we are in terms of the time line of the other movies. Scarlet isn't looking beautiful; the Hawk guy - where did he come from? Why can't Captain America call on Tony Stark to help him out or even Hawk-eye who is a member of Shiel himself? You cannot exclude these characters once you have opened Pandora's Box!",5 "As mentioned in the title I really have no idea why this movie is held in such high regard. Did I miss something obvious? The plot was insubstantial and then the movie seems in a hurry to wrap itself up. The humour for me was perhaps a little to quirky and I did not find it funny in the least. I should have been warned by the mention of an Oscar, that tends to mean its going to be rubbish. I have read that its primarily a love story, I would like to ask how, where and when? The one redeeming feature was...wait a sec there wasn't one.",1 "Story is awful you will not engoy it ,,itannoying you story is about bad person his life is very missy and full of proplem and he doesnt try to solve proplem but in the oppisite he make his proplem bigger Not recommende this movie for anyone",3 "You just dont need to invent a wheel if you got no talent. Word to word adaptation would be much better. Also, bad writing is not the only problem of the show, sadly. Geralt, Jaskier and Roach looked above average, though ALL of the cast members should blame the writers and producers for not letting them to be likeble. As a fan i am very dissapointed, i was waiting for this show for too long and now i feel robbed.",1 Season 1 is gold..and season 2 is total scrap... Ruined reputation of season 1... Season 1 is of hollywood quality and season 2 is bollywood quality or worse...,1 "For reference, I frequently enjoy dumb-fun, mindless movies and watch basically everything superhero-related. You know... the kinds of movies where the writing is rarely the draw. Then I watch something with great writing and feel metaphorical whiplash. The difference is drastic. Witty dialogue, intriguing story and clever scenarios elevate everything. The cast all give fantastic performances, especially Jeffrey Wright. But for me personally, by far the best attribute is the comedy. I full-volume laughed throughout. And the humor feels entirely original. My only dislike is a few subplots, like the love life of his brother or the maid, that don't seem to be related to the main plot. They feel out of place and detract from the main story. Otherwise, I found American Fiction to be highly entertaining. (1 viewing, opening Thursday 1/4/2024)",7 I think this is one of the rarest old films which you can still watch in 2020.,5 "This starts out unbelievably great. The first two episodes will hold you on the edge of your seat and then slowly but surely it just becomes Stephen King stuff. It goes from thrilling who dun it murder mystery of course to some supernatural mumbo jumbo. They can praise King as much as they want to but for me it just lazy writing if you build a story that is intriguing because it creates so many questions and then just conveniently glue them together by just creating an evil force of some sort that makes things possible that would naturally be not possible. With episode 7 this show comes to it's death. I want to point out that it is none of the actors fault. They are really good. Mendelsohn and Erivo deliver outstanding performances.",6 "Good premise, sadly badly executed... The acting is quite fine, but it's not enough to make up for the nonstop absurdity of this movie. Rocks with wobbly eyes... hot dog fingers? Rather than creative, that shows someone has not been taking their pills... Perhaps someone somehow can someday fix this mess and make a real movie out of it.",3 I couldn't say the movie was good nor bad but it was all over the place. The story or the plot of the movie is. Overall it did add more comedy into the movie.,4 "Oh, well, here we go again.....the mob mentality, the cult figure who dies from a drug overdose and automatically catapults a mediocre movie into instant cult status. I can't remember one memorable line from the first half of this movie, and to be honest, there is very little worth remembering. In my opinion,it appeared as if everyone was sleepwalking their way through their performances, and Heath Ledger's wasn't really a stretch or any more significant that any other Joker. Let's hope they make one last Batman film and this time they have the formula to get it right. I should have spent my money to see the X-Files movie....and so it goes.",4 "What a giant martyred pain in the ass Teresa Palmers character is & I don't think I can stomach anymore of her long tortured little girl glaring into the distance. She's pretty dumb about everything, for apparently being an academic specialising in this field. Wasted opportunity w this series, could have been excellent.",4 "Please season 4 also release in hindi i am big fan, and lot of india people's love this series please Marvel's. Love you thanks",9 "Greetings from Lithuania. With all its run time 2 h 20 min, with all its flashy characters and some good acting and involving writing, i found ""Glass Onion"" (2022) to be entertaining enough to recommended. I liked it not more then a first film - I think they both are equally good - but none of them is better then other. Writing by Ryan Johnson was particularly good, because i liked the whole mystery set up and eventual pay off - no spoilers. Directing and cinematography were very solid as well as some set design. Overall, ""Glass Onion"" is a very well made and written ""who dunnit"". Not the best ever (far from it), but surely a very entertaining one.",8 "It is the best dark comedy tv show I have ever seen. Having been thrilled with plot twist at the last episode, I cannot say that I could have guessed what would happen at the end.",9 "This Hong-Kong style kung-fu parody was quite funny and imaginative. It sports an over-the-top cartoon feel with lots of great slapstick humor and chop-socking martial arts mayhem. Although the visual effects should certainly be praised for their dynamism and inventiveness, they also looked somewhat fake at times. One could argue it works in the context of the film. I enjoyed the character actors, but wasn't blown away by their acting skills, and it was cool to see old Hong-Kong action actors (unknown to me) kicking butt in such a stylish way. The fighting choreographies were amazing with literally unbelievable yet beautiful moves. If you're in the right frame of mind and preferably with a bunch of friends, this film should be loads of fun. Rating: 8 out of 10",8 This series will be my greatest legacy to my children.,10 "I really hope kids nowadays will understand that this is really how things were. Those people are not idiots, not cowards, they are afraid. Afraid if the don't do what they asked to do it will not just end their careers, their lives, but the life and career of their families! I am old enough to remember as a kid when they did not let us out of the kindergarden's park to play or did not let us drink milk for a while. No one knew much, only what we could get from ""the western"" news. Days after the tragedy. I'm glad we could end the socialism and we could get rid of the russians but I am sad we are on the road again to have something similar. Our government is building somthing that we might can name neo-communism and it frightens me. Maybe this story can show kids today how bad this can be. Great show. Greetings from Hungary",9 "This season is a great watch for those who have not read the books or even played the games. The cinematography is beautiful, the music is great, the acting is superb, the combat is extremely satisfying (think John Wick but with swords), and the story is pretty cool. Don't read the books and this is awesome. BUT... as a lover of the books and games the last few episodes especially killed it for me. The plot is almost unrecognisable to the books and I don't understand why they've done this. The books are 'best selling' for a reason. There's a fan base for a reason. I'M DEVASTATED. They've butchered the Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer family aspect and that is unforgivable - a theme so potent throughout the books. It really does make me sad. Knowing Henry Cavill is a massive fan of the books and games, I now understand why in an interview he highlighted that he has no control over the direction of the plot and characters. He was setting all us book lovers up for the disappointment because he too must be gutted. Unbelievable. Guess I'll drown my sorrows in the books again.",4 "Like the TV series Stranger Things, Ready Player One is suffused with nostalgia for the sort of movies Steven Spielberg was making in the 80s; big fun movies with spunky kids and cool special effects. Set in a dystopian world where people escape the grim real world for an exciting virtual one, the movie resolves around a virtual-world search for keys that will grant ownership of the entire enterprise to the finder. The hunt is undertaken by amateurs like protagonist Wade and by a mega-corporation with hundreds of gamer employees. Who will win out win out, the plucky teen or the resource-heavy corporation? (Hint: it's a Spielberg movie.) The movie is full of 80s music and movie references, but the movie never makes clear why (it wasn't until I read a plot synopsis of the book that I understood it's because the virtual-world's creator was a big 80s geek) nor , with maybe one exception, makes the 80s integral to the plot. The script is frustratingly lazy. The first brilliant thing Wade does is the sort of thing someone would have done by then anyway. After a major crime, there's no investigation and no one even calls the police, yet the movie never establishes a world where people would react that way. While the competition between Wade and the corporation is portrayed as of great consequence, the reasons it's so important are vague, forcing the movie to rely on the CEO being horribly evil. In a scene that particularly aggravated me, Wade sends out a call for help to a world even though it's never been established that anyone understands the stakes or even that there are stakes. Spielberg is too experienced to make a movie that simply assumes everyone in the film knows everything the audience does. Yes, there are exciting special effects, and I probably would have enjoyed this more on a big screen where I could fully appreciate the crazy mix of avatars, but a movie has to be more than it's special effects. And outside of an intriguing performance by Mark Rylance, there's not a lot outside of the effects. Also, there's just a lack of ... something. One of the film's most notable set pieces takes place in a virtual Overlook Hotel, and while it's cute, it feels a bit wan. I think the actual 1980s Spielberg would have done it so much better. And that's a lot of the problem. Spielberg is an old man whose best recent movies like Bridge of Spies and War Horse are from a mature director. Spielberg is simply the wrong person to make a Spielberg tribute film. While I hate movie reviews that talk about the different movie that could have been made, I would have been more interested in a movie that considered the way in which escaping to a virtual world would cause people to let their own real world collapse. It's such an obvious take that it feels like the movie is purposely not pursuing it because they want to keep things light. And yes, they keep things light. This movie is as light as air. It is pure fluff. For all its grand scale, it is a very slight movie. But a perfectly watchable one.",6 "I like good sci-fi. From Star Trek Discovery to Altered Carbon, we seem to be in a good time for it. I never watched the original Lost in Space. I have a vague memory of the horrendous Matt le Blanc remake and the catchy Apollo 440 soundtrack. So I had low expectations. And we had a blast. Whilst it was one of those plots that threw challenge after challenge at the cast, I felt the tension right to the end - the last two episodes in particular were almost stressful. And I liked all the characters. All the family, I thought, were awesome. The Robot was a great piece of the plot, continually re-evaluated. Dr Smith was a fascinatingly different villain, very manipulative but simply because is always looking out to protect herself, first. And the visuals were stunning. If anything, it's closer to the family oriented, swear word free, violence light Star Trek over the ultra grim Altered Carbon. Light sci-fi, sure. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have a place. Watch with an open mind and you'll enjoy the ride.",6 "The reason the CIA does not use this crap as an enhanced interrogation tool, because after first 20 minutes you confess everything even things you have never done. I am not surprised about the current 9.0 rating though, after all we are talking about a country who actually elected Obozo. It took me three days to sit through this pseudo intellectual steaming pile of crap. So just a few words that help me release some steam: long, boring, pointless, stupid, full of clichés: like everything is blue, the vest on that stupid actor with his bottle neck shoulder ... The lesson is that I will be very careful with the next Leonardo movie, this is strike two (first being Shutter Island).",1 "Having been a fan of Disney and especially the Lion King since early childhood, I have to admit I was quite excited when I learned about this rendition. Going into it, I wanted to resist (as much as possible) to compare it to the original, but that´s simply impossible, seeing that all that made the original great was missing in this version. The characters felt much stripped of their personalities, possibly due to the lack of facial expressions and body language. Take the hyenas for example; In the original they all had very different personalities, and especially Ed, who was portrayed as a bit dull-witted, yet lively and mischievous. In the new version, however, they all felt indistinguishable from one another, and they were all just one of many. The same can be said for Rafiki, who in the original was a quite eccentric, whimsical and joking character. Compared to these characteristics, he now sadly feels like a ghost of himself, static and boring. Heck, even Timon and Pumbaa feels underwhelming. To sum it up, they have failed to capture the ""feel"" of the original movie, and it just feels emotionless and rushed. I feel like I have to give credit where credit is due though, as some of the scenography is pretty spectacular. But it´s unfortunately not enough to save the entire film. In conclusion, if you want to watch The Lion King, watch the original from 1994, and not this version.",3 "I would give this movie a negative 10 if I could. It was one of the few movies I've ever seen that I absolutely HATED. There are a lot of movies that are bad, but I don't ""hate"" them. This movie I absolutely detest. Nothing about the movie is believable. Some people have told me, and some of the reviews say that it's not meant to be real, but viewed as a fable. It doesn't work on that level either. I've read reviews that said they rarely cry at movies, but this one had them bawling. I'm the opposite, I often easily cry at movies, but the only emotional feeling this movie left me with was relief it was over. There was no emotional attachment to any of the characters. The real kicker is that this film won best picture and best actor over ""The Shawshank Redemption"" and Morgan Freeman. At least the overall IMDb readers got it right. TSR is the best movie of all time.",1 After finish all of MCU movies followed with this Wandavision series sounds very promising but if you expect this series still related to the Avengers better forget it as this will waste of time unless we are looking an alternative sitcom with black amd white style and later will be followed with more colors.,1 "Netflixes original content of late I've personally found a little disappointing so was a little dubious about this series and wasn't really planning on watching it anytime soon, but yesterday couldn't find anything to watch so decided to give it a try with my expectations a little low,. After the first 20 minutes I was hooked and done something I rarely do and binged my way through the whole series. It's not without its flaws, the characters from the government provably the biggest as they all seem very flat and under developed, CGI is a little ropey at times and a few actors on occasion go a little soapy with their acting. But all of this can be forgiven for how genuinely brilliant the show is. It's taken everything what was wonderful about 80's family adventure flicks and rolled it into one. Winona Ryder, Natalia Dyer and all the child actors for me steal the whole show, the soundtrack and score were top notch, but what really impressed me was through all 8 episodes there was no filler scenes every single minute of the show added to the story or character development. Truly top notch and if it doesn't go on to win awards it would be a travesty.",9 "It's not to often that a movie can artfully utilize silence and nothingness (another polarizing example is Paranormal Activity 1); such applies to Gravity, a gripping thriller starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. the story is short and simple yet quite powerful. I won't spoil the movie (for my lack of knowledge of the plot raised my expectations), but it was a wise decision making the movie under 100 minutes leaving no room for unnecessary filler or fat. From a standpoint of my eyes, the movie is a feast to look out, using gorgeous scenery and eye-popping visuals that gives the impression they shot this movie in space. The handful of scientific accuracies doesn't hurt either. The acting is well done and realistically portrayed. Using real reactions in tense situations and some clever dialogue that slightly reveals the main characters, you stoop to their level when they are in turmoil, almost like your'e suffering or prevailing with them. You will be very pleased, and very surprised, at what you see after the leave the theater after watching this incredible film. An obvious Oscar nominee/winner in the future and perhaps a film that filmmakers will study for years to come.",7 "This is definitely a show that some scenes you just can't un see! It's violent, lots of profanity, scenes that just go way over the top and the action is tense. After all the marvel and D. C. this is just what you need to ramp it up. If your a fan of these then this is definitely not for you. Brilliant, the writers are not afraid to go that extra mile!",8 "Even though that I'm not A Fan of Marvel at all but this show is so different for me , it's so amazing , definitely one of my favorite tv shows of all time",9 "After Dheeran, Adhigaram ondru, this movie made my heart heavy until the end. A must watch psycho-thriller. Cinematography, editing, bgm, acting all went well together. Kali venkat with the gun point and Munishkanth performance are awesome. Unable to predict.",10 "Why so many liked it and why it was a box office success is well beyond me. This movie got nothing but an nonstop CGI orgy with pale actors acting badly, a laughable ""story"" and everything else to do their worst. It's a miracle I finished watching, wanted to stop after 30 minutes. Unfortunately it only got worse... Humor? Groot please! YAWN!!! Poor dialouges, even bad language and the usual violence and special effetcs - nothing will surprise you. But hey, why not? A movie by braindeads for braindeads sound like a big win/win situation. Let's make the most (money) of it now! I will definitely not watch any more Marvel and any more of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY sequels including spin offs which might appear out of nowhere. Which is very likely due to UNDESERVED success, and for the fact that Marvel can't stop milking the cash cow, so they simple have to make more movies out of every tiny bit of their Marvel universium and its dozens of characters. And then more sequels of course, with like none has a bit of originality, everything has been there already, no matter how much more CGI they use. So yes, this is only for teens. So teens, listen: stop supporting this madness and rely on other action/scifi, ones made with love, with art, with less than 95% CGI. Marvel will just make you stupid, but since you're in your teens, you simply don't know better. Not your fault, but please:look for new horizons! Thank you!",3 "I really wanted to enjoy this show and with how much everyone hyped it up I really tried. It has some amazing set pieces and some great moments. The acting is amazing. However, it falls flat with a bland story. The first several episodes are lack luster with An episode that adds nothing to the real story. While it was a good episode I ask myself what the point was. We're on episode 5 of 9 over halfway through and nothing super memorable has happened. The first several episodes we don't get much action with a few notable big pieces but now episode 5 we're just starting to get some actual fighting. The assumption is if you're watching you played the game and while this makes sense for some, it really limits your demographic. Overall if you love the game you'll love it, if your like me and hoped the show would bridge the gap for a game you don't have time for your out of luck. I'm hoping it still picks up but so far no dice.",2 "So good...We want more. Season 2,season 3 and so fourth..

"I was very much looking forward to Moon Knight. The character seemed cool enough, and Oscar Isaac is a great leading man. As with many similar formats however, MK suffers from a meandering script that often fails to build sufficient tension. It's like the writers don't quite know how to fill a format that isn't quite movie nor TV show. The cinematography is good enough, but overall did not leave a lasting impression. Some parts just looked very CGI'y and artifical. I guess you could say that this is true for most Marvel flicks, but it's getting old for me. On a positive note, I did like Isaacs' portrayal of a schizophrenic superhero - it's basically the one thing that kept me watching.",6 "Don't get confused as movie is linked to each character . When u start watching it will be more interesting. I wish I could give 10 stars but m giving only 9 coz I felt movie was enlarged a bit. Overall a good entertaining movie",9 "It was absolutely great cinematography but the story just wasn't that joyful as the rating. ""Dunkirk"" is a tense and gripping war film that delivers a visceral and immersive experience. The nonlinear storytelling adds an extra layer of complexity to the already intense action sequences, creating a sense of disorientation that puts the audience right in the middle of the chaos. The performances are solid across the board, but the real star of the movie is the stunning cinematography and sound design. The aerial dogfights are breathtaking, and the ticking clock soundtrack adds an extra layer of tension. The film is also notable for its lack of graphic violence, which only serves to make the moments of danger and suspense even more impactful. While the nonlinear structure may not be to everyone's taste, ""Dunkirk"" is a masterclass in tension and suspense that showcases Nolan's talent for crafting unforgettable cinematic experiences.",7 "This doesn't make me want to see part II. It just drags on forever, very slow. At least an hour of this should have been left on the editing room floor. By far the worst of the series so far. I need 10 lines to be able to submit this, so let me just say, save your money. There is nothing about this one that needs to be seen in a theater. There was two and a half hours of my life I wish I had back! Not a good movie. Moves along like watching paint dry. They should hurry up and get the next one out, it's already hard to believe Daniel Radcliff is under 30 years old. Save you're money. Save you're money. Save you're money. Save you're money.",6 "This show will shock you, surprise you, and the worst part about it is: theres only eight episodes!! This is a show that spins the traditional superhero genre on its head. Not every person that claims to be a hero is a good person, much like today in our world with corrupt policeman. If you love superheroes, great storytelling, dark themes, and bloody violence, this show is for you.",9 "This series, set in the same world as 'The Boys', is set in the Godolkin University School of Crimefighting. A school that trains youngsters with superpowers. It is centred on new student Marie Moreau; her power is the ability to manipulate blood, something that caused tragedy in her past. She shares a room with Emma Meyer, AKA Little Cricket, a girl who can change her size. It looks as though it might just be about students learning to use their powers but when a student, expected to become one of the top superheroes, kills a senior lecturer before committing suicide she finds herself part of a group of students trying to uncover a dark secret at the heart of Godolkin. Having really enjoyed 'The Boys' I was a little unsure if a teen spin off would work... it does. It certainly isn't a show for younger superhero fans; there is plenty of extreme violence as well as very strong language and some nudity. Much of this is done in a tongue in cheek way so one will be laughing as somebody meets a gory fate. While I don't think the characters are quite as good as those in 'The Boys' they are still a lot of fun. The cast does a fine job bringing these characters to life. Overall I'd certainly suggest all fans of 'The Boys' check this out; however if you didn't enjoy that series it is highly unlikely you'll like this... it certainly isn't for the easily offended. I'm certainly looking forward to the next season.",8 "A new invention at its release, The-Godfather (72) spawned many more mob movies, some just as masterful (GoodFellas MillersCrossing). But unlike T2-Judgment-Day (The-Terminator), Aliens (Alien), Bride (Frankenstein) & Ugly (Dollars), some of film's best sequels, Part-II is not a new idea on a familiar story. It doesn't build upward, only widens the saga with Michael now turning mean as he raises the body count to consolidate power, his dead soul reborn in the ""misunderstood"" 3rd film in the trilogy, Godfather-Part-III (90). The history of the Corleone family's arrival in early 1900s NYC (DeNiro Kirby Moschin) & Cuba cake-cutting scenes are memorable (2.5./4).",6 "I believe, in a nutshell, that the series, in addition to perpetrating deeply wrong messages, has also been written objectively wrongly, plot holes as if they were raining...",4 "At it's heart ""Black Mirror"" is a scifi show using elements of reality and fiction to create believable worlds and characters. If an episode is not pushing the boundaries of ethics and morality: it is creating fictitious glimpses into near futures that are wholly entertaining. The first 2 seasons are short and might put people off with it's Anglo centric storytelling. Seasons 1 & 2 appeal more to a British audience but if you stick it out until Season 3 the storytelling broadens to include a more predominant American presence to it's characters and storytelling. My only criticism of the show is that conflicts within a character are often left unresolved by the end of an episode, leading people to review ""Black Mirror"" as a bleak or dark description of a fictitious future. Definitively worth watching/buying on DVD.",9 "I love a good murder mystery and this one did not disappoint. After a slow start, or perhaps I was just slow to warm up to it due to that southern accent, I got really into it and started tracking motives and such. The slow motion parts were BEAUTIFULLY choreographed. Every location and room just screamed wealth and as a fan of escapism, I was here for it. Kate Hudsons outfits were half the fun for me, as well as the outfits the character of Andi wears. Loved everything the costume designer chose. Even though the person I watched this with has an entirely different opinion of the movie, I had a great time and would recommend.",9 I can't believe I waited a week to watch them fix a boat for an hour.,4 Kaidhi was the best movie of 2019! *The one night story. * Without any Songs and heroines. * Father and Daughter Bonding. It's one of those films which has a terrific setup with no-nonsense approach! Director Lokesh is so confident of his skills that he doesn't hold back any Twists and he puts out his entire plot and characters in the first 20 minutes itself! Kudos to Action Choreographers and Cinematographer for making it look soo stunning! Karthi Scores high again with his intense and emotional act after Paruthiveeran! Now Lokesh is one director that I'm eagerly looking out for all of his films! BGM by Sam CS was apt and took the movie to another level! FINAL WORD - It's a bang for the bucks and a must watch for all the Movie -Buffs!,10 "Some poor characters in the movie that are different from book. Although it's a decent thriller is far from being a good one. Some basic mistakes and characters acting that doesn't convince. A painter that acts like a cop, a cop that acts like an unprepared teenager. Worth watching if you really enjoy horror movies even though it's not a great one.",6 "#13ReasonWhy Rating - 7.5/10 Review : Finally its over. The first season was spectacular, You wanted to know the 13 reasons why? You got them all covered in the first season. Now, the second season was a stretch. I understand that people loved it and demanded more so you gave it to them! also needed justice and should have stopped after 2nd season. season 3 and 4 was awful. The characters are not in a way likeable or have any chemistry. 8.4 to 7.5 my ratings have gone down for this series. #Netflix",7 "As other reviews here describe in great depth, Nolan has successfully implemented the best of visuals and sound effects. However, the hype created by trailers falls pretty short of describing a genuinely intense and desperate evacuation that took place during the whole battle. At first, the trailers looked as if the Commonwealth Army fought a desperate retreat to 'home'; however, what we see are repetitive scenes that of a handful of Stuka divers getting destroyed by a group of just three RAF fighters, only one of which keeps on the skies while the other two survive on the same escape boat. Its not the setting or the diversion of the director's traditional way of telling one of history's most important events as an all out war (like what one could remember from The Enemy at the Gates or Saving Private Ryan), but the lack of depth in showing the true nature of that hasty evacuation that took place when news had spread that German forces from all sides would be surrounding the allied landing within hours. What we see instead is anonymous soldiers simply changing boats from ships and vice versa, and finally reach 'home sweet home' without really showing much of the real blood that was spilled in order to protect those who were to be evacuated. So, although the movie launches off nicely, it goes monotone within 45 minutes. I wish Nolan had shown the French lines that there were holding their ground from the Germans and relate all that with the evacuation that was taking place. Its just too plain.",6 "Take the basis of any Ouija movie, add in a little body swap de jour, like Freaky, Evil Dead or even Suitable Flesh with a hint of Insidious and Flatliners and you have Talk To Me. An excellent Australian horror that I caught on Netflix. Direction, lighting and editing are all good. The plot and storyline is excellent. The characters are largely unlikeable due to their stupidity but then we wouldn't have a storylines if stupid people didn't do stupid things to get movies started. The acting is largely good enough with Sophie Wilde being the best of the bunch. A sequel has already been commissioned and I will be ready and waiting.",8 Con? Everything else. The movie it self had some whack cuts and chronological orders. It was meh to say the most. I did laugh at different Time points tho! There's that :),3 "Good god was this a boring, pointless movie. It made sense until the last 10 minutes, then an ending came out of nowhere. Acting was dull and overall emotionless - except for the ham Carrey who, of course, overacted his heart out. Camera shots were unfocused and too fast. Overall, the movie is a boring mess. I sincerely regret watching this movie - it was a rental mistake. I would put it on my BOTTOM 20 - no questions asked. If you are faced with the opportunity to see this movie, RUN AWAY!",1 "Easily the worst film of a fantastic franchise. Like too many other sequels, it advances the story very little through a series of circumstances that don't add up and at the price of the best parts of its predecessor. The beasts are largely window dressing in another story about a wizard who wants to take over the world. In this case, the wizard seems to be manifesting a current and controversial world leader. That would be fine if there were any joy or hope to offset the fear and despair. There isn't. Every character is in pain from the start with little relief or hope. Sympathetic characters are introduced only to be mangled or forgotten. There aren't even the touching moments of connection or instances of comic relief to carry ine on. It's like a bad Tennesse Williams play with special effects. If you haven't seen the film and have a sensitive stomach, be warned. The cinemetography in the first half of the film is torturous, relying almost exclusively on tracking shots that change plains. This film plays like an amusement park ride shot for a 3D version. The actors did the best they could with a bad script and self-indulgent directing. Lets hope the next installment makes it worth it for them. If this were the first book or film in the series, nobody would have looked for the second.",3 "I didn't like this movie, i wanted a Tarantino movie, and this is not. I mean is a good movie but in my opinion the worst of Tarantino. The only thing that i can rescue is the final scene.",5 "Slow story, bad suspense, unnecessarily stretched but worth watching Saurab shukla.",5 Typical P.C garbage from Hollywood boring uninteresting all female cast not a knock I love and respect women but it's as if Hollywood wants to beat it down our throats as if all males are pieces of shit. If the leads were women that are strong in a military role ex. Michelle Rodriguez etc.. it may have been tolerable but im sorry its just awful Now onto the movie boring waste of time and well honestly halfway through I considered silting my wrists as my demise would have been more compelling then this piece of garbage please skip this at all costs then mail me a dollar as I just saved you 2 hours of your life,2 Everything is beautiful in this series but plot is boring and pointless sometimes. These people are meant to be intelligent based on how they were selected but plot is so stupid sometimes it is almost irritating and disappointing to watch.,5 "I think not. Black and white?....ooooh how artsy. Sure, big fan of Dafoe, and as usual, his acting was first class, but it could not save this crap of a film. All of you cinephiles who raved about this movie are in a minority of snobs who like a film only because no one else does. A waste of time.",3 "The only way I watch T.V. shows nowadays is by recommendation. There are so many shows that I could be completely consumed by them all and I can guarantee that over half of them are not worth my time. I actually heard about Black Mirror from a sports radio host and thought, ""that sounds interesting."" I watched episode one of season three and was hooked. Just as a refresher: season three ep one was titled ""Nosedive"" starring Dallas Bryce Howard. It was about a world in which ratings are currency and clout. Every individual has a rating attached to him/herself that can be seen upon viewing the person's face. Using a five star rating scale, those with a higher rating have greater privileges whereas those with lower ratings are the scourge of the Earth. It was amazing to see what people would do just to get a five star rating (not too far from our current reality). I binged watched that entire season then watched all three seasons. Just about every episode was genuinely thought provoking. These shows are extremely well done and offer so much food for thought. Each episode is replete with quality writing, quality effects and filming and quality acting. Black Mirror is a Netflix gem. It is Twilight Zone if it were rated R.",8 "Waiting for a long time to watch such a performance from SRK. He was good as Aryan Khanna(SRK) but fabulous as Gaurav Chanana(SRK).The story depicts the view of both FAN and ACTOR. How a fan can get so obsessed by an actor that he can do anything for him and how actors are so much ignorant towards their fans that they don't want to spend a single second with their fans. First half of the movie shows how Gaurav is so much obsessed with Aryan that he can do anything to meet him. His life's inspiration is Aryan.But when Aryan didn't gave him five minutes of his time how he turned into a psychotic. First half of the movie ends at a dramatic point where audience doesn't know what the psychotic and obsessed Gaurav will do to get Aryan's attention.In the second half audience just keep guessing who will dominate whom. Its like a one-on-one fight between Aryan and Gaurav. The last fighting seen was a little bit confusing as you just cant differentiate between Aryan and Gaurav. It losses some points in this part as it looks more of a racy part where both of them just try to kill other. I really liked the tragic and black ending. Indian audience are not used to it so it will be little difficult for them to digest it. As a whole it was just spectacular from SRK and he also showed that he doesn't need a song to make his movies unforgettable, he can do this just by his acting.",7 So many political and social agendas here it makes it not entertaining. There is a reason Disney's stock is going down year by year.,4 "Not what I was expecting, visually fantastic but didn't real care for the characters, bit like COD game. No rewatch value or thought provoking study of war, more dumbed down history for tge generation. Plus points looked good.",7 "The scene in ""A Beautiful Mind"" that haunts me most is not the shock therapy delivered to mathematician John Nash, not his infant son left to drown in the bathtub, not the implantation of a radioactive ID number in Nash's arm. None of these. What I keep wondering about is how Alicia, a young math student at Princeton in the1950s, had the savvy to wear a strapless black evening dress on her very first date, which turns out to be a black-tie Princeton do. If there were an Oscar for most valiant performance under hostile conditions, then Jennifer Connelly, who plays Alicia -- and who, incidentally, looks great in the strapless black -- would surely win. Ms. Connelly bares up under awkward editing and awful dialog, as when she, now Mrs. Nash, tells him and us that love and faith will cure him of his schizophrenia. In the New Testament, perhaps; in Hollywood, by all means. All that's missing is a new-age crystal. Dodging a story about ordinary humans, director Ron Howard has chosen to chronicle genius, but the product is the same old inflated confection: a romantic night sky in New Jersey that holds more stars than any Arizona desert; a ghastly Nobel prize award ceremony; and worst of all, the progress to that prize based on one academic paper, scribbling math formulas on window panes, and a lot of frenzied magazine clipping. The pudding is bloated and sweetened by yet another ""uplifting"", swollen music track. So predictable and so unbelievable.",4 "Bales got a strong English accent and his boil on his eyeball has gotten considerably large, but he's solid as all hell along with Damon. Fast cars. Worth the watch.",7 "I first watched La La Land and then the Hurt Locker today as I was in a really good mood to watch movies. Both movies are Oscar Winners and critically acclaimed. La La Land was a big disappointment from Hollywood so I thought may be I should give a try to a war movie. Hurt locker was an obvious choice. The underdog! The revenge of the Ex-wife! The Hollywood movie with least box-office collection to win an Oscar! Avatar-crushing! And what not... Naturally when you start a movie with such huge expectations, you need a visual treat or a deadly story line or a performance which blow you off. But at the end of this movie (as well as La La Land), I was cursing myself for wasting my whole day. Firstly was there any actual suspense/thrill in this story? A definite no. Was there any good action sequence? No. Was there any story-line? Yes that this person has guts, so what! Was there any inspiration or a learning point in this movie or something you will cherish a long time after? NO. Would you be able to recommend this movie to anyone? NO. Did this movie really deserved Oscar? NO. Did this movies production quality, story-line, action sequences, acting prowesses, direction, the ""wow"" factor, laughability, likability, humor stood any chance against Avatar? If NO could have some even negative quality than this would have been for this movie. Did this movie would really stand the test of time? No. Would you like to re-watch this movie ever? No. Did this movie deserve such high rating on IMDb? NO. I can really go on and on and on writing negative things about this movie. The only positive thing about this movie was that it was short so wasted less of my time and that it showed skills of a bomb diffuser which was new for me. Rest i will really like the Critics and Oscar Judges to wrote a public apology to James Cameroon for choosing this movie above Avatar. This movie was penned down by critics and film festivals on initial release. It only gained momentum later on due to efforts of some really good PR skills, the sympathy factor because of Katherine Bigelow being the ex-wife of James Cameroon (the victim game), sympathy from being the only movie in Oscar history whose producer was stopped from being able to attend the Oscar ceremony (as he tried to influence the judges) and the sympathy from the fact that it was a really low-budget movie competing against the biggy that is Avatar. I request critics to be rational. IMDb is such a popular site among movie goers that people will not stop watching this movie due to its high ratings and Oscar-tag and at the end they will find them being cheated like me. P.S. - I remember saying so many ""NO's"" only once when I had not prepared for the viva and my teacher was asking me all sorts of tough questions to which I had no answers. Please don't waste your time watching this movie.",3 "Avengers Infinity War wasn't a film I was overly bothered about seeing, but my friend drags me to all of the superhero films, none of which I've found to be very interesting. Since the first Iron Man film (which was a pleasant surprise) these films have become more and more formulaic. This one has huge ambition by throwing every single Marvel superhero into the mix. If you love these characters then this is probably all your cinematic dreams come true. However if you're just a fan of good movies then this might well leave you cold. On the positive side of things, it's very impressive that the filmmakers have assembled so many characters and given them all something to do, but it comes across like Wacky Races with 50 characters. It's kind of fun for a while but as more and more characters are introduced it becomes harder to care. And the plot, well, it's a problem. On the one hand they've kept it really simple by having one major bad guy (with a couple of sidekicks who show up now and again). And as is usually the case in these films, it's a maguffin chase. All of these big budget franchises have been using this lazy plot line for ages now. Thanos (the villain) needs to find a bunch of coloured stones to wear on his glove. And if he gets them all then it will mean the end of the world, universe, blah blah (same thing as the ring in LOTR, or the cube in Transformers, and most other big movies like this where everyone is after a magical artefact). The problem is, these magic stones don't really do anything. They just have nice names and the bad guy has to find them at any cost. That's your whole plot in a nutshell. So to try and keep the audience engaged the filmmakers have decided that an overbearing soundtrack will tell you how to feel at every crucial moment in the film. And it's almost always the same thing - Character X is about to die (cue tragic sad music). A long drawn out sequence takes place where X says goodbye to someone. These scenes (which are repeated every ten minutes or so) either end with another avenger showing up to save the day (cue triumphant music) or X is killed / left to die by the bad guys. But because this is a superhero film and most of these characters are big cash cows, you know that they're not really dead. They're coming back, sometimes twenty minutes later. After a while the constant ""don't let me die"" scenes get beyond ridiculous, but I suppose if you're a kid and haven't seen this done a million times before, it might be ""amazing"". On the other hand, if you're an adult and you've seen this done enough times to know how it plays out, this becomes tedious really quickly. And the overbearing soundtrack telling you how to feel at all times, smacks of desperation from a studio that knows they have too many characters in the film and not enough time to make a casual viewer care about them, so the manipulative music is added in instead to trick you into feeling whatever they want you to feel. Even though I didn't enjoy this film, I think they've done a great job of making it look fantastic. And every character gets their allotment of screentime without the pace of the story ever slowing down, but what you have is a 2 hour 15 minute action film with no downtime, probably in the hopes that younger viewers won't notice the absence of a proper story. To summarise, this is great for fans, but probably boring for anyone else.",4 "I watched the movie on a plane, and found myself fast forwarding through at least 1/3rd of the movie. Once again we're watching the US Marine Corp working on behalf of Big Pharma to commit genocide and steal resources. For all the money America has made James Cameron, you'd think he'd get off his soapbox for a minute. 2/3rds of the movie is just showing off the CGI landscape and animals, with no relevance to the story. The kids must've spent 20 minutes just swimming underwater, another 20 minutes exploring the forest. It could've been a 2:00 or 2:15 movie, instead of 3:12. There's typical bullying that's 100% predictable, predictable speeches, predictable rescues, predictable outcomes. Even the same villain in a different skin. Some plot holes, and even the ending had me saying ""why?"" I should've slept on the plane instead.",2 Too much Liberal Lies to actually enjoy the series. Wanda Vision is a better choice.,2 "So far the pilot episode is the best, other than that, unnecessary side stories, that won't add any value to the main plot. I think the writers are just recycling the walking dead again, and trying to squeeze some revenues as much as they can, also emphasizing on the ""no one is safe"" cliche used in the walking dead. Another thing I was disturbed with was the obvious direction episode 7 ""left behind"" was taking since I know HBO has no... how should I put this?... No boundaries. I think with this bland and slow pace story the show will not survive for another season. But hey! This is HBO they have the money to keep a dead fish in a tank. Also how dare you rate this show putting it in par with great shows like Breaking Bad??? Lastly, Go play the game, it's way better, you can really feel how sincere its creators were when they made it.",1 Will give it time and revisit my rating..... if need be?,1 The evacuation of Dunkirk was one of the greatest achievements of WWII but you would not know it by this film. The story bounces around every few minutes to show another side of the story and becomes so disjoint that the episodes could be exchanged without altering the story line at all. The faces of the British soldiers all have that thousand yard stare and for the most part are expressionless. Not much to recommend this movie.,2 "After watching this movie, I had a feeling of confusion. I thought to myself, ""is this really the great piece of American film work that everyone is talking about?"" Personally, I do not think that this is one of those top 10 movies. The movie had a very low-key tone that, at times, felt long and boring. I was a little befuddled about Charlotte and Bob's relationship as by the end as throughout the movie it seems to waver. But its a unique relationship and its a little refreshing to see something a little different, one based on shared boredom and loneliness. However, its frustrating at the same time because you cannot figure out what direction they are taking next. Besides from that, you can really relate to their loneliness throughout the entire movie. I had a little added enjoyment because of my experiences in Japanese class where I had to listen to my teacher babble in Japanese and every once in a while speak in broken English. In this respect I can REALLY relate to the characters. The background shots of Tokyo are well done and add to the tone of being lost in a crowd and alone. Also, Bill Murray fits the part of Bob like a glove and was enjoyable to watch. Although this movie was beautifully made, its not particularly exciting and is in need of some direction as it just feels flat throughout. I give it 6.5/10 since it was professionally made, but really falls short in terms of a great/interesting story. Maybe on a second run-through, I might appreciate more things.",6 "Average action adventure Disney yarn is watchable mainly due to good performances by Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and the lovely Keira Knightley. It's the tale of a pirate ship called the Black Pearl, once captained by the eccentric Depp, whose new captain – Geoffrey Rush is looking for a pirate medallion that ends up in the hands of Knightley, the daughter a rich governor (Jonathan Pryce). Throw in Bloom as the dashing hero with a sketchy past and a major crush on Knightley, and you've got yourself a special effects ridden harmless piece of entertainment. Downsides are too many silly additional characters, who will only be of interest to very young viewers, and at 143 minutes, its far too long - they could have cut out about half an hour of footage off at least. Nice to see a fairly original idea through, although I hear it is based on a computer game(?) or something (I may be wrong), instead of the countless sequels that have cluttered up the cinemas over the past year or so. …..saying that, no doubt there will be a `Pirates of the Caribbean 2' through, sooner rather than later!!",4 Very Good series in this world drama and real good .................,9 "The Umbrella Academy is undoubtedly fresh. Right from its first episode it makes itself very clear that it is not going to be an ordinary super hero flick. Its main storyline is not based on the powers and the responsibilities it brings, instead it focuses more on the dynamics of this crazy ""family"". Casting is on point. It is funny yet dark. And I like that there is no clear bad and good (though most of the shows now a days also follow this rule, but TUA executes it in its own unique way). This is just a bunch of messed up people living their lives. I think there is one more thing worth mentioning here and that is the Music. The choice of songs is extremely good. The songs very masterfully uplifted the otherwise mundane actions going on screen. Though the plot faces some malfunctions in the middle. But this show is fun none the less.",7 "First episode was amazing. Strong characters, hooked you in and set the tone for an amazing show and It all went downhill from there. I wanted to love this show.. the episodes just seem to drag out. Nothing seems to happen and always end on an underwhelming note. The episode will finish and I can barely recall what happened in the hour. The only good acting is from Pedro Pascal (the man couldn't act badly even if he tried) The characters bought on are weak, they have the tough guy act on Bella Ramsey swearing more than a pirate and too much PC.. to the point it's so odd and unbelievable so it doesn't gel. Hopefully season 2 picks up.",5 "7.3? 3.7 at most. Genuinely good cast. And that's that. Hokey, self aggrandising nonsense. Dialled in performances, surpassed by any computer game acting of the last 10 years. Audio editing is a post production low point, and the soundtrack a constant false excitement headache similar to head butting an iceberg. Oh well, on to the next one.",4 "A movie can be artistic, incoherent, black-and-white, hard to follow, have a very abstract story with no real resolution, and still be great. I love Eraserhead, for example. But The Lighthouse... The Lighthouse has a very promising setting, great actors, and in the beginning, great visual and aural atmosphere. Both characters are unlikable, they are borderline caricatures, but the first half of the movie still succeeds in building up enough mystery and tension to make the watcher wonder what it all will really be about. But then it goes nowhere from there. All the build-up is for nothing. Nothing gets developed into fruition nor resolved. It seems like the creators had a script for the first half only. The latter half of the movie is repetitive, unwatchable mess. It loses the tension, loses the atmosphere, loses any semblance of coherence. It is horrid. There is no mystery. There is no story. Anything interesting built during the first half goes out of the window. There is nothing worth watching anymore, just endless, pointless rambling and raving. It is like a parody of all the worst qualities of an art house movie. Anyone praising this sorry turd as a 10/10 cinema masterpiece must be paid, trolling, or on acid. You'd be better off watching two drunkards fight on the street. The same intellectual content, but at least there would be a resolution, and it would not last this long.",3 "Being consumed by film marketing in the 21st century western world is almost an unavoidable right of passage for any owner of modern technology or in fact anyone who has ever been outdoors. As I do, and have, I was given great expectations for Argo that were not quite fulfilled to the capacity I had hoped. Despite my slight sense of disappointment, Argo is a splendid piece of work by director/producer/actor Ben Affleck. It is essentially a film about film, the latter not really being a film. Confused? Well you shouldn't be, the premise is rather straightforward and enlightens its younger audience (including myself) on the historical conflict between Iran and the United States of America in 1979. The non-fictional reality of the declassified event that occurred 32 years ago, while presumably slightly sensationalised for cinematic purposes, is rather inconceivable. While thoroughly engaged in the atmosphere the film creates, you continuously ask yourself if this genuinely happened. Knowing that it did is perplexing at a severe magnitude. In all honesty, Argo fails to really grasp the undivided attention of the audience until the final 30 minutes of the picture, though you appreciate the reservation of the best until last. It is as if you have been presented with a plate of food; knowing you must eat it all, you start on the vegetables to get them out of the way, then consume the adequate yet necessary side dish, before being enriched by the most prominent presence on the plate; it has the ability to satisfy the taste buds in every way possible, or cause a look of disgust and sickness dependant on its quality. Argo consists of the former of the two, as everything nearing the climactic resolution leaves you involuntarily paralysed in your seat as you await the next revelation or obstacle for the characters to endure. The tension that the feature generates results in gasps being heard around the theatre as the unpredictable nature of the characters' actions are unveiled. Whenever we relocate to scenes of lesser tension, we are more often than not gifted with tremendously suitable comic relief. Its situation in the narrative is not just present for entertainment purposes, it also facilitates in allowing us to feel as though we are experiencing the characters' endeavours. This is because the humour makes the best out of a bad situation for those that have been affected by the events at the start of the film. Everyone must keep their composure in order to get the job done, and the comedy is used to simply give the characters something to smile about and as a coping strategy, as when they feel this, it synchronises audience's emotions. The first 90 minutes of Argo is albeit very slow, though quite necessary to give us enough fuel to make it to the phenomenal conclusion. This also provides the biographic thriller with a pleasant structure, as no sequences are prolonged or too short and it builds itself up to behave like an amalgamation of necessary processes in order to achieve the goal the CIA have set out to do. The Oscar 'buzz' surrounding Argo are not feelings that I personally reciprocate due to the fact I did not feel absolutely immersed in the cinema screen throughout the showing, yet more so at specific moments, and also because it really does take some time for the picture to gain momentum, which is really the precautionary point the film conveys, but it just is not that engaging. This is one of those films whereby you are very glad you watched it; though do not feel that it requires you to sit through it another time.",7 I loved it. Rajkumar rao abd Pankaj ji have done a very good job. Intact every in this movie have shared equal screen time which is indeed a very good thing. Apart from this... the story too was impressive. And the ending was stunning.😆,10 "How to improve on a solid origin movie? Do what Spider-Man 2 did basically. A much better package that improves in every single way possible than the first movie. Tobey is still not selling it but the movie more than covers it for him. This movie is the one that truly sells the burden of the mask and the struggles of Peter Parker and no other Spider-Man movie has managed to reach this high and likely never will now that Disney is involved. Honestly it feels weird watching a superhero movie with zero quips or forced comedy. I'm absolutely a fan of comedy and most definitely enjoyed majority of the MCU movies but those are mostly throwaways made to sell popcorn. Spider-Man 2 is not a popcorn seller, its a fantastic movie by any metric. The first movie feels somewhat dated now but this absolutely stood the test of time and can easily rival any modern superhero movie even with its antiquated technology. Because what makes a movie isn't budget or technology or VFX artist. What makes a movie is its script, direction and understanding of the characters. Which Sam Raimi proved he is a master of. Even better villains, more fights, updated touchup, iconic moments and deep understanding of Spider-Man as a character is just few of the improvements over the first movie. There will never be a better Spider-Man movie than this. The only way to make this better is to replace Tobey with Andrew Garfield and Kirsten Dunst With Emma Stone. Other than that and few minor vfx hiccups its actually a perfect movie. Even after almost 17 years later no movie has understood Spider-Man more and no movie later shall either. Also has the absolute best scene in Spider-Man live action history, you simply can't top that scene no matter how you try. RATING: 9.5/10.",9 "No, not me. I am staying in the good old US, but Michael Bay should really move to North Korea, because little Kim needs ""feel good"" propaganda movies like this one more than we do. What a junk. I really shouldn't be writing a review for it because I fast forwarded through most boring parts (god, there were so many of them) while played Candy Crash through the rest. I am stunned it got such a high metascore with critics. I also feel sad that after Green Lantern fiasco Ryan Reynolds would agree to shoot this schlock.",1 "Gen V: The success of the The Boys is from it's well written characters, plot and it's artistic gross. This series try to mimic but mistaken the success The Boys for its exploding genitals. Gen v started really well for new show with fresh super powers. There's lot to explore but this show wasted it's potential with stupid, irritating scenes trying to stretch an episode, pointless scenes that does not move the story forward. Even after 5 episodes only thing you remember is not main character or their powers only it's genital close-up shots. They should name it ""Gen D"" for their love for CGI D's. Someone should tell the creators that they should focus more on writing rather than relying too much on CGIing Dikcs. Not releasing all episodes at once is a biggest mistake by prime. This show has pacing issues when people got bored for it's over streched middle episode they'll forget such show exist and never comedy come back. I guess, only way for this show is to survive is to get a cameo of some established The Boys series character else this Pointlessly Disgusting show goes straight into garbage. This rip off Netflix's Wednesday failed impress with its weak and predictable story line.",1 "Yes spiderman 1 was good, but the second on is nearly a masterpiece! I can´t stress enough how good this movie is. GO watch it and enjoy every minut of it. Thanks again marvel.",10 Not a boring show for sure. Great performances. The ideia of the argument is different and hipnotic.,9 "Along with the veracity of the events themselves, the authors absolutely lie about the USSR. Too much propaganda husk. Vodka, matryoshka, earflap, bear! Hello from Russia :)) Filmed well and authentic. But do not believe this farce completely.",5 Good but definitely not worth an Oscar for best movie or best director.,5 "I hadn't really expected a lot, but I was amazed at just how dull this film was. The effects are, quite rightly, considered great and are obviously influential in many ways. But other than a couple of action sequences at the beginning and end, you have nothing but dull lectures. Lawrence Fishburne is too good an actor to play a second-rate Yoda like this and the ""philosophy"" was the type of thing you outgrow in 10th grade (""How do we REALLY know reality?"") presented in an ultraserious tone that makes the claptrap seem important. This type of thing has been done before and better, and the various plot holes and inconsistancies were just a sign of sloppy storytelling. The villains were quite probably the least interesting in the history of film, with tiresome mannerisms that made you want to go out and slap the director. And the cliches! Villains in suits and black sunglasses! A traitor in the heros' midst! Man redeemed due to love a woman! Can anyone really call these original? The effects cannot be faulted, and there were a couple of good action sequences, but the film was poorly written and just plain dull. More action would have been better, or anything to spare the audience the puerile philosophizing. Certainly one of the most overrated films of the decade.",3 "I don't have words to say about this show, the addition of humour is make it extra superb to it.",10 "As someone who has never read the books and played the games, I found the first three episodes of the show rather confusing because of the time jumps as the main characters, Geralt, Yennefer and Cirilla had to be introduced. Throughout the show, the time jumps continue and it's like playing catch up to the current timeline as viewers see how the lives of these three strangers are intertwined. The visuals are also great and it's clear that Netflix spent a lot of money trying to make this new world look as realistic as possible. Besides Henry Cavill, the other two leading ladies of the show are relatively new actresses but I think they're great so far and their performances are compelling and captivating. Overall, this show has a great cast and so much potential to be the next big thing and I'm excited to see it renewed for a second season.",8 I watched the first few episodes and then skipped to the last 2 final ones. Very boring and dragged out too long for a simple predictable season. Waste of time to watch all episodes because there are better things to watch out there.,6 "This is pure adrenaline/excitement with tons of little spots of humour, cleverness, story, realness, excitement & surprises that makes the average adult viewer think outside the box while watching. This is the best treatment of a 1940's character like Captain America, and the ""story"" is really what drives this --- it's like no other superhero movie, with a thoroughly engaging story that doesn't totally rely on action/explosions (the action is subtle, subversive, more of a prelude to the shocking plot twists and humour) with some of the best exciting villains/shocks/surprises and some of the best sidekick characters and some of the best pure smart political story that is like no other. A very good blockbuster that is a real surprise for an epic movie like no other superhero movie of the last 10 years. Extremely well done, and I ""have"" to give this a 10/10, for being that damn good, and very very very entertaining/thoughtful/moving/surprising. Like everyone else, I felt the same about Captain America 2 as most other smart moviegoers. Way better than I expected!",10 "Attack on Titan is a shonon anime where humanity has been almost wiped out by titans, which look like giant deformed humans with no genitals or digestive organs, who require no food, and seem to only want to kill all humans, simply for the sake of killing them. Humanity has survived by building three giant circular walls around them. The story follows Eren Jaeger, Mikasa Ackerman and (although less important) Armin Arlet, who become soldiers after the outter wall is breached suddenly by a giant 60m titan (they usually don't go higher then 15m) who kicks the gate open, and a armoured titan, who destroys the safety gate, causing the outter ring to be lost. It appears the anime's only confirmed season will cross the first three arcs, also known as the Beginning arc, the defence of the Trost District and the Female Titan arc. The anime is a nearly direct adaption (as of episode 22) with almost every scene being exactly the same as the manga, or they will show minor additions which all add to the story. The art and animation of Attack on Titan is incredible, with extremely good animation for the fight scenes, and unique ultra thick outlines on characters. However as the series has progressed, the signs of budget issues HAS been obvious, although it is usually done in ways that impact very little to the overall quality of the show. The show also heavily relies on CGI. This works well in some points, such as the town and forest fight scenes, but looks awful at other points, such as the horses extremely poor animation. The writing of the story is average, but not great. Characters while realistic, are not explored much. Ironically, right after they are likely to finish the anime, multiple characters get major character development, but that sadly wont happen (unless we get a second season). All the characters are interesting and likable in some way, except for the main character Eren, who seems perpetually angry with no character development at all (this is true so far in the manga as well). Most characters get 'some' character development, but not much. While the writing is average, it is made up for by the incredible atmosphere of the anime, something the manga lacked. They did an incredible job conveying a sense of hopelessness and despair. It is helped by the fact that the anime does not mind killing off characters, although there has been a select group of characters who are always immortal; strange they don't get much air time. (Until ironically, as with most things, right after the anime is likely to finish) The music is, to put it bluntly, the best I have ever seen. It is the most fitting and powerful soundtrack I have ever seen, of any time of media, whether it be TV show, movie, anime, radio show or video game. The openings are simply magnificent, the closings are not as good, but they only seem bad mostly because the openings are so good. Voice acting is great all round, not much to say about that. Finally, if you saw the opening and thought ""This is going to be a great action focused anime!"" you are dead wrong. There is very little air time spent on fight scenes. Much of it is talking, which really helps the atmosphere, but will leave action loving anime watchers disappointed. This is not like Naruto, where there is a lot of talking, but still a good amount of fighting. This is where you can go 4-6 episodes without any combat at all. This is not due to filler, and due to following the manga nearly word for word. If you want an anime that does an incredible job at conveying atmosphere with lots of talking and drama, you will enjoy this great anime immensely. If you want an anime is lots of great fight scenes; as good as they are, there simply is not enough for you to enjoy this anime.",9 "Series Sci-Fi Has played with a temperament audience,the whole series is not bad.",8 "Ah Harry, I like your stupidity… like ""where are we get a tent?"" When Hermonie, half an hour ago shows off her bag of infinite space. SERIOUSLY HARRY. They do that in this movie a lot, use Harry as the stupid explanation character. Let's just say the first part of the seventh book is just as boring as this movie, so it's quite accurate. But this is better than the last movie (which was forgettable). This is a far darker film and goes to some pretty weird places. I mean weird naked Harry and Hermonie places. AWKWARD.",6 Please don't eate too high. Its good but not that much great.,8 "Very good movie. Story was compelling. Action sequences were crisp, well directed and well spaced to keep you on the edge of your seats. Emotional connection between Bucky and Cap was established. 5 out of 5 stars. Other directors should learn from this director on how to make a good movie.",10 "I watched the trailer and then watched the movie within an hour, I saw NO extraordinary scene except the ones merged in the trailer. The trailer was way too better which actually made take a decision to watch the movie but there was nothing major in the movie at all. The story plot/story was revelaed in the trailer itself, actually there is no need to watch the movie at all, trailer contains almost all of it.",2 "The first two episodes are creative, but after that I got lost and did not understand anything from the episodes !!!!",5 "The trick to these comic book superhero movies is not to take the source material too seriously. That's what made the original Batman from the 1980's, with Jack Nickolson as the Joker, work so well; everything about that movie, including all the main characters, was over the top, and rightfully so. We are, after all, talking about a man who goes out and fights crime while dressed up as a bat. How seriously, really, are we supposed to take such a notion? But this movie (among its various other flaws) takes itself WAY too seriously. It's supposed to be some deep, even epic, tale of, well, something. But, hey, if I want that, I could read Homer. Or Shakespeare. Or watch ""The Godfather"". Stories that truly are epic, in no small part because they feature real human characters, not ones that came out of a cartoon book. That said, I can only review so much of this movie because, quite honestly, I don't remember all that much from it. Nothing about it truly stood out in my mind, other than that the general theme seemed to be to inflict upon the audience several scenes of considerable cruelty and sadism. And, unlike in other movies where these qualities played a significant role (Silence of the Lambs, Apocalypse Now), here these elements seem to exist solely for shock value, not because they actually add anything to our deeper understanding of the story. Which brings us to the character of the Joker. Let me be blunt - Nickolson's Joker was at least ten times better than this one. Both are completely unbelievable, but Jack's Joker was at least interesting, even fun. He was a pleasure to watch in much the same way that a good James Bond villain is. But there is nothing pleasurable at all about Heath Ledger's Joker. First off, he is so psychotic that he couldn't function anywhere outside of an insane asylum; he kills off his own henchmen, burns their stolen money before their very eyes, yet this psycho somehow enlists a small army of loyal followers without giving them any reason to be loyal at all, and yet, despite being a complete walking mental meltdown, he manages to put in motion any number of very detailed terrorist plots that would require the exact opposite mindset, namely, one of cold and calculating rationality. In short, as a movie villain, he simply fails. Not only is he not credible at all, his sole contribution to the story is to add the aforementioned cruelty and sadism, making this not only a stupid and unbelievable movie, but a thoroughly depressing one as well. I mean, seriously. If you want to see movie characters who have a dark, twisted, and sadistic streak and yet come off as credible on the screen, one need look no further than such persons as Tommy from ""Goodfellas"" or Luca Brasi from ""The Godfather"". But the Joker from this film is just a void. Encountering his character was like stepping on a dog turd. The experience is wholly unpleasant and disgusting, but thankfully you forget about it pretty soon. 3/10",3 Amazing performance from Charlie and Rakshith. Charlie has done so well sometimes we forget it's a dog. Great effort from director. Very strong and emotional storyline. 1st half is full on comedy. We won't get another dog movie for next 10 years. Pls do watch and be prepared to cry last 30 min. All the characters have done justice. Music is great and it keeps you hooked. Cinematography is top notch. Kashmir scenes are shot very well. 1st half is full on comedy. We won't get another dog movie for next 10 years. Pls do watch and be prepared to cry last 30 min. 1st half is full on comedy. We won't get another dog movie for next 10 years. Pls do watch and be prepared to cry last 30 min.,9 "When Chad (the director) and Eva Longoria (the producer) got together to make this movie the result looks like a 1000 dollar YouTube-channel video. The script is very bad. The filming is terrible. I cannot believe the IMDb score really is above 7 without foul play at hand. Stay away, and never spend money on this film. This action-movie is mind-numbing with so many flaws throughout that you are happy to have numb mind so the idiotic moments feels less painful. I would be surprised if not most actors in this movie is a tad embarrassed to have this in their filmography. I give this 3 out of 10 but you can add 1 score per year below 16 that you are when viewing this.",3 "Very few shows have managed to portray growth, pain, and the weight of humanity's flaws as well as this show does. The love that you will feel for Toph's attitude, Sokka's humor, Zuko's growth, Aang's integrity....all of it will stay with you forever",10 "Well, I'm shocked by other people's perception that for some reason this is a great movie. It's okay...weird, strange, far-fetched, unusual, but not the best movie of 2020. Same goes for Jojo Rabbit. I recently saw 1917 and it is by far superior and my favorite so far this year. Ford v Ferrari and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood were also quite good. Have not yet seen Joker, The Irishman, Little Women and Marriage Story, but will.",5 "I rated this show a 2. Why? To me, this show was a senseless glorification of drugs and violence. When seeing it in the theatre, my wife and I walked out and demanded our money back. I've never seen the full movie...I couldn't stand it. I've even rented it again, thinking I must have missed something...but turned it off 3/4 of the way through, thoroughly disgusted. Why was this movie rated so highly? I think it is a sign of our times. Drugs are everywhere, and violence sells. Rather pathetic, but true. Says something about the decadence of our society. Are we at the end of another Roman Empire? Is it all downhill from here?",2 You know this movie is really really boring I advice to just save you 10 box and 2 hours of your life. Rather watch paint dry because then you can at least understand the story of a paints life going from wet to dry. Time is can't be reversed so don't waist it on this movie!!!! I advice to just read a book about Dunkirk because then maybe you well be able to understand it better. Hope this helped you. Also the UK don't know how to make military movies at all at least the Americans make it interesting,2 "This was one of the worst British series I ever saw. Trying to make Sherlock Holmes living in the modern times is a challenge, and if executed properly, it would be a great series. Unfortunately they missed the mark completely. I can't understand where so much high praise comes from, because the stories are overly complicated, and often they make absolutely no sense. The characters are dull, boring and the worst of them is Holmes. His home on Baker Street, simply does not have the feel of his home, and it is one of the essential parts that define his character. The tension build up is just non-existent, there is no character development, and the script is also dull. As for Moriarty, the worst choice of an actor to portray his character, he came out more as a paedophile, and not some kind of evil genius criminal. I gave it a shot, seen all 6 parts of first and second season, but it simply didn't do anything for me. I give it 1/10, simply for the effort.",1 "Ok. Just ended the movie and there was no point what so ever. How stupid can movie be and still have decent reviews? Like really..? ""Leaf blowers in the woods"" would be a good name for the movie. I dont know - just feeling so bad, so idiotic.. Whats next? I really hope that this is the bottom of movie industry.",3 "Ramlila in action & hero shouts on Ram - behenc**d. Then thrashes Ram. Audience laughs Ramlila is just a joke for Urduwood. 1star just for hardwork of spot boys, cameramen etc . Otherwise it's just another ANTI-HINDU series. These Morons dont have guys to mock other religions who will probably behead these dimwits. Follow Gemsofbollywood on Twitter to know how filthy they are.",1 Nice pace all the actors mesh well a lot of action even though it's not like a shoot them up type of movie crazy to think they pulled of something like that in real life,7 I didn't come into the movie with any real high expectations but left feeling dissatisfied and disappointed. I have a good understanding of the original story line but I was hoping this one would be a bit more interesting and creative. I almost fell asleep at one point. Just not what I was expecting. Wouldn't go see again and wouldn't pay to buy later on.,3 I had to finish the movie to figure out why it has such good reviews. I'm still trying to figure it out. I truly believe the world has gone crazy if they think this is a great movie. Don't waste your time. Wow what a disappointment And waste of money.,2 "One of the finest piece of work based on a graphic novel ever put on TV screen. It's deep yet funny, it's drammatic yet colorful, accurate in the mood but yet not a copy of the original material. That is how you transpose a comic book. A real (unespected) good job.",9 "Sherlock Holmes. Everybody knows him and Everybody loves him. Well, at least the viewers do, because Benedict Cumberbatch portrays the character of the arrogant and overly intelligent Detective very good. The people who have to deal with Sherlocks arrogant Character, may not like him that much, but pretty much hate him and get annoyed by him. I watched ""Sherlock"" a long time ago and unfortunately don't really have the memory anymore, but I can remember that I really liked the team of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman solving riddles of crimes together and was very entertained by this series.",9 "I enjoyed this film, though it was far from fabulous. Daniel Craig's drawl was distracting and unconvincing. The characters were despicable but aptly played, and the convolutions of plot were fun! But it isn't original. It is, however, a better telling of Agatha Christie's Crooked House than other attempts.",7 How th did this film get an 8.0 rating? I stopped watching even before Gosling and Stone met. It's so bland and uninteresting.,1 "Don't see how Barbie or Oppenheimer can be better than American Fiction. Every character is interesting, well developed. The script requires an active watcher's mind - and a not just about black Americans - but rather a real American snapshot, depicting the shallowness and lie in some of our collective constructs. I think this Social landscape is painted with mastery and kindness. J Weight delivers an insightful role, taking you for a ride as he randomly discovers how to put his sharpness at use, in often unpredictable ways. Movie could be based on any of his siblings, or parents and wouldn't lose an ounce. Best movie in a long long while.",10 "While the movie is entertaining, it places political themes over plot quality. While this isn't a negative in film per se, the plot is integrally important to whodunnits, which this purports to be. As a fan of mysteries and thrillers with twists, I found the resolution obvious before the halfway point, leaving me pretty disappointed. This is another entry in a string of recent political movies posing as a film of any given genre. Jordan Peele's ""Get Out"" and ""Us"" did it beautifully, Boots Riley's ""Sorry to Bother You"" did it shockingly badly, and Rian Johnson's ""Knives Out"" falls somewhere in the middle. Lower your expectations if you're expecting a rollercoaster of a plotline and prepare to be preached to about hierarchies instead, for better or for worse.",6 "I liked it, i just hated the smoking and the damn knocking of the toilet door",6 I wont spare netflix for wasting my time. Not worth of even Riview. absolute Garbage,1 "Boring and stiff. It seems we're watching a school play. The king is no king, the queen is a millennial and the princesses are a poor imitation of the Stark sisters. I usually say the actors are not to blame, but here even the actors are weak. And if the writers weren't sleeping, I'm betting the audience is.",6 "Show started good and progressed well then in the 2/3 it started to rush and alot of plot holes started to pop up. It introduced alot of characters with really less details on most of them. Alot of things just went unanswered and lots of plot hole if you focus. Soundtracks are just so damn annoying. I mean when you rate something a perfect 10 it means you should also consider everything. I dont see this anime worthy of 10/20. It's a good one time watch with nothing memorable. Overly hyped!",7 "Must watch a family movie which made a heart-touching impact. A movie is full of life, love, laughter and struggle. I can't describe the feeling I am filled with after watching this. In the last 1 hour of the movie I was crying I was feeling every emotion of the movie it was made to convey. After tare Zameen par this is the movie in which I cried. This movie will stay closer to my heart. Beautiful acting, songs, and superb script. In the whole movie not a second you will feel bored. Writing this review just after watching with wet eyes and a heavy heart. I can watch it again and again I know that for sure. Please watch.",10 "Ok! I enjoy action movies! There. I said it. John Wick's movie #1 had its share of action, make no mistake, but there was a plot. Sort of. Man loses a loved one AND a dog. Sad. You just know there's revenge a coming! Cue rapid action, tears, hatred, killing and revenge. Then a second John Wick movie. Cue hatred, mass killing (on steroids) and, of course, more revenge. BUT NOW there's the third installment of the amazing Mr Wick!! Cue mass, rapid, mindless, never-ending, ultra-graphic killing. Never mind a plot. That's worthless at this point! This fantasy - farce doesn't need one... it's the most vivid single - shooter video game out today. Imagine the worst shooting scenarios possible, add Russian ballerinas, unstoppable street killings, some really pissed dogs, a camel, some sand and a mystical Moroccan mixed in with an unremarkable Asian assassin who never tires and loves his job too much.......and you have John Wick III. MINDLESS and MORONIC. Even for a video game. Don't waste your time. John Wick, the original, has been molested.",2 "Review: This is another movie which is completely different to the advert and the poster! I thought that it was going to be a New York gangster movie set in the 80's but it turned out to be about a sincere business man who wants to push his freight business into the mainstream, with the law and the mob on his back. After a few of his trucks get stolen and the law opens a case against him, he struggles to prove that his business is legit whilst trying to find out who is stealing his trucks. On top of that, the bank pull out of an important deal between him and some Jewish land owners so he has to find the money to close the deal or he will lose his down payment, which was all of his life savings. With all of these elements happening at the same time, it's a very intense drama were you don't know who is good or who is bad. The innocent business/family man is against violence and dirty money so he tries his utmost to keep the business legit, against all odds. The performances from the cast, is top class but it does take some time to get going. The pace of the movie is quite slow but the intensity kept the movie interesting along with the many twist and turns in the storyline. I was impressed with the determination and ability not to break under pressure from the main character and you can't help rooting for him, to achieve his goals. Although the movie isn't a true story, it does feel very realistic which is due to good writing and a great cast. In all, it's a complex drama which is quite enjoyable, if your in the right frame of mind. Enjoyable! Round-Up: It's a shame that this movie tanked at the box office because the cast gave it there all and the storyline isn't that bad. If there were some big names in the film, it might have got the money that it deserved but it really didn't go down well with audiences. Oscar Isaac was a great choice for the lead and his sharp, business mannerisms worked well with this character. There were many parts of the film were he could have broken down and turn to the dark side but he's extremely focused on his goals which is very inspiring. Jessica Chastain, who put Oscar forward for his role, is great in the movie and her complete trust in her husband was very realistic. She has recently starred in Interstellar and she played the bitch in Help, which I'm sure everyone will remember because of the cake with the extraordinary ingredients. Anyway, I must have enjoyed this film because I stayed awake all the way through the movie, so you know that it's worth a watch. Budget: $20million Worldwide Gross: $6million I recommend this movie to people who are into their intense dramas about a businessman who wants to push his freight business into the mainstream whilst being under investigation of fraud and fighting against the mob. 6/10",6 "There's no real ""story"" told through the events of the movie... but it's well-shot and has a bit of Tarantino magic sprinkled on it. Also awfully long.",5 "Very interesting scientific wise but adding the little girl ruined it for me . . . not necessary . . . and pretty much ruined the film for me. I watch movies to be entertained, not negatively affected by them. Leaving your child is a traumatic experience. I understand in Hollywood leaving your child behind is just a simple inconvenience for most entertainers but in this film this was a terrible situation that made me dislike this film. . . . Hollywood is truly out of touch with humankind . . .",4 "Such a great movie to watch! I liked it a lot, the plot, the storyline, the characters, I almost liked it more than the first movie! So intriguing and fun, 9/10!",9 "take a disease that hardly exists , of course foreign location ,love story n hey lets take a serious issue of terrorism and paste it with delicacies n sweetness. way too predictable , this movie is just karan johar's attempt to vanish his melodramic image . Story is wafer thin . Actually story almost doesn't exist . impressive frames came and go ,and keeps on coming and going. now few good things about this flick . Shahrukh khan is awesome as rizwan khan . his body language and acting is excellent , though this is not expected out of him , we expect him to run round trees and dance stupidly , but this didn't happened . amazing screenplay and few good scenes .. overall could have been so much better.",5 "In my opinion, this movie is just slightly better than the first. It is everything the first Spider-Man film is and much, much more. There's a lot more of Spider-Man, a better villain, better fight scenes, and a better story. The reason I haven't rated it any higher is because of the Spider-Man loses his powers storyline. It wasn't bad by any means, but it did slow down the film quite a bit. Other than that, this movie is the perfect sequel. 8.2/10.",8 As a big fan of Dafoe I thought he was wasted here. The script became tedious and pointless and about halfway through I just wanted to return the rental. It felt like the writer had no real destination for the film and just threw a bunch of disconnected scenes together. One of those movies that did not match the hype.,3 "Written by Mrs Rowling, an author as successful as she is unimaginative, i.e., tremendously, this film happens in a city where wizards form a society of bureaucrats and Gestapo agents. Despite truly immense powers, they fear the non-magical, inferior race and hide from you mere humans, instead of teaching you and making babies with you. Anyway, I'm not sure how this works but I digress: the point is, the movie is full of Men in Black chasing illegal aliens throughout New York and lackadaisically wiping people's memories. Here lands an odd but friendly British wizard with awkward manners and a luggage much bigger on the inside. He soon finds a companion and on they go travel-ling through time... no, I'm kidding... through New York, chasing harmless but troublesome creatures. Still, the protagonist is so reminiscent of the Doctor that it could explain why I rather enjoyed most of the film. I really enjoyed the 4 main characters actually, the good guys; it's all fluff, well played and entertaining running and flirting. For the rest, well, it's not as if the writer plagiarised well known series so as to save her energy for other aspects of her craft: events more predictable than they come, dull villains, loose ends, amateur climax, endless epilogues... At the 2/3rd mark, the Beasts start to outstay their welcome.",6 "My Rating : 10/10 ♠ MASTERPIECE ♠ A lot of people have said Godfather II is the greatest film they've seen. I think so too.",10 I don't have to much love for the Marvel MCU Universe. Yeah the movies and tv shows are very good but i never watch them twice and i didn't even knew there are so many superheros out there! And i generally don't like the superhero genre except the batman franchise. So i'm not easily impressed by those movies. Loki is an exception for me besides Jessica Jones. Loki as a character is just awesome! The whole cast is great. The story is great. Production value is great. There is not a negative thing to say from my side. Of course not everyone will love this show but if you think most superhero movies are fun to watch you will love his a lot! Actually its better than the thor movies :-) for me at least.,9 "Okay, so, how is this movie any different from Battle for Terra? Both films are essentially the same in their plot and development. There are only a few minor differences. In the end, the only reason to watch the film is for the special effects. Not that that's a bad reason. Special effects are the only reason for watching a lot of movies, but it's certainly no reason to give it Oscar-worthy praise. It's almost the same story as Battle for Terra! Not to mention its similarities with so many other colonialist/imperialist films. Second, doesn't it seem weird to anyone that the non-humans are predominantly played by non-whites? Okay, so it's another commentary on colonialism/imperialism, but why does this always have to pin evil on the white race and place non-whites in the category of Orientalism. Not to say that Edward Said was incorrect, but these stereotypes in films continue to subject races to categories of Otherness that we will never overcome.",3 "I had waited to see this movie on a decent copy DVD and missed it at the cinema. It was a very hyped movie on its release and I like De Caprios movies on the whole including the recent Shutter Island which surely does have some psychological connection with this movie in'playing with our minds'. But I liked and followed Shutter Island, I couldn't really follow 'Inception' and as a native Englishman, I am still unsure as to the meaning of the word 'Inception' for the context of the film. The film is only mildly engaging, tries to be intelligent and smart but fails dismally. There is no lack of action but this is 'not' Bourne Supremacy' or 'Salt' and things happened so haphazardly and quickly in the actions scenes that it completely bored the pants off me when watching the movie because I was trying to follow the story of the film and couldn't, so I became frustrated. Leonardo is a great actor and acts well, true enough and I love Ellen Page after Juno and even Peacock - but this film was definitely not for her and Michael Caine had a minor cameo role as Miles the Father figure for Leonardos character. As for Mal played by Marion Couthillard, oh dear, what a shambles! This is one of those films which will be quickly forgotten and barely remembered in Leonardos repertoire. The concept of the film is indeed a good and innovative one and I kept thinking of movies like 'The Matrix' while watching it. Why oh why did the director have to 'overcook' this movie. We watch movies to be entertained. Like Iron Man 2, if you like movies with abundant action and little reality, go ahead, watch this movie and rave about it but for me, it is a major disappointment, not with the mainstream acting and the story but with the end result through directing and production. My feeling is that it was shoddy. Not a movie to review a second time or recommend to friends to see, sorry!",5 "This is one of the best whodunit I have seen in sometime. Not that I watch a lot. You would always be interested in what would happen and enough twists to get you wrong. The neo-noir style is an interesting one. I don't listen to old Hindi songs but they fit into the scenes nicely. After the movie I was like what movie have they made. It's just completely something you wouldn't have seen before. It's background score other than the songs are also good. I was actually feeling scared when such scenes were happening. Don't know if I was able to connect with the characters well or the music was such but haven't been so scared for a character before. Overall a must watch. I didn't give 10 due to small things here and there but overall you won't regret watching it.",8 "So glad that many IMDBers wrote tjese ironically 10* review about this movie. It deseves even more, but only 2 from me. Storyline: 0/10. One of the most boring movie I've ever watched and so confuse. Only about 20 minutes of action. CGI and image quality: 8/10. It's standard most of the time but there are some great scenes in these 20 minutes of action. Worth watching at cinema? Definitely not.",2 "Well made movie but i suspect there are a lot of phony reviews posted here to gain an Oscar win. I liked the acting and story line. However there needs to be some redemption (despite the political statement of classism). Cruelty can be a means to develop a plot into something more transcendent. I didn't grasp any of that, just a descent into hell. Too much over the top sensationalism.",3 "When this movie came out about 20y ago it was ofcourse a benchmark for all new action movies. The 3D rotation shots and wire-stunt were groundbreaking, as were several other special effects. And it had a deeper layer: the question what is reality Looking at it today I noticed that it had aged quickly. The styling looks ridiculous, it is mostly shooting and running, the characters pretty flat, dialogues basic. The storyline has some suprise jumps where you question how they knew that. It is like Avatar, the visuals blew you away, but the content is so-so.",5 "Amid the crowded December movie season, there were tons of movies I wanted to go see. It's easy to lose The Greatest Showman amongst Star Wars and Jumanji, but I was pretty excited to go see this Hugh Jackman-led musical. The very good trailers held loads of promise, and the award-winning lyricists of La La Land were making a return to compose the songs. Walking out, I was extremely disappointed. There was so much potential here, and it did not live up to the expectations that I had walking in. However, when checking the buzz around this movie, I noticed the extremely high audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb. Although I usually favor audience opinion over critic, I feel like the critics were right this time. This movie does have lots of good things about it, amid the bad. The songs are spectacular, and the lyric team deserves to be praised. The sets and choreography of the dance sequences are very well done, with the songs being upbeat and catchy. The acting from mostly everybody is good, especially Hugh Jackman. He was the main catalyst behind the production of this film, and it really shows. Jackman gives 100% effort, and has had a pretty awesome year between this and Logan. The blaring negative is the script. It is so poorly written and executed that I began thinking of ways to rewrite it as the movie was still going. The entire thing feels extremely rushed. It seemed like the writers wrote the movie in the first thirty minutes, then had no idea what to do after that. The film begins with cringy child actors in a pointless flashback sequence that could have been devoted to present character development. The movie gives hardly zero screen time to pretty important characters, then expects us to care for them later down the road. The main romance in the movie, between Zack Efron and Zendaya, is one of the most shallow love interests I've seen in a long time; they basically make eye contact once then are madly in love. The CGI is unforgivably awful, which makes no sense seeing that this movie had a whopping $84 million budget. The script and the decisions that the film makes were very amateur and downright bad. If you take away the impressive songs and set pieces, then what you're left with is a poorly-written mess that can't stand on its own. One of the biggest praises I can give to La La Land, a similar film, is that amid the spectacular songs, the story is strong enough to stand on its own two legs. That is just not the case for The Greatest Showman.",5 "Don't waste a precious minute of your life on this movie. It lacks a main ingredient that is essential to any worthwhile movie: a good story, or plot. Because of this shortcoming, the movie falls short on suspense, and we don't really care very much about what happens to the characters . They come across as flat and superficial. The movie quickly slides into a rut, and the director tries heroically to rescue it with bursts of colorful language and by tugging at our heartstrings. But, as always, these gimmicks fail, as they can never paste over the movie's lack of a good story.",2 "I see a lot of 10/10 reviews on here and while I agree that the show is entertaining, it's not a great mystery series. I don't notice it until the end of the series but Sherlock isn't really that we'll written. If you rewatch the series you'll notice how there is never really a logical conclusion to crimes. In the old stories by ACD, you are presented with evidence as you go along with the story and when the mystery was solved, it was done in way that explains how the crime was solved and makes you realise that you could have solved it yourself if you paid attention. In this series it relies on 'epiphanies' ,the whole mind palace thing and withholding evidence to the viewer. Too many times sherlock would come to a conclusion but it's never explained HOW he came to it, and that you need to trust him that he just knows it. The show acts like he's so smart that you'll never get how he knows what he knows. In fact, the show proves this by having sherlock point things out that have no impact on the case but is just there to show you just how smart he is. The production and action is very good, but suffers from poor writing and inability to explain, and need to go over the top with certain stories. If you want a better sherlock Holmes interpretation, watch Elementary. It's not perfect, but it's certainly a better detective series.",5 "Sorry QT , I love almost everything you do, but this time, it wasn't for me. Its like you're stuck at the beginning of the movie for 2 hours, then you get a small , small middle part with no ending...",5 "David Yates returns to the command of the adaptation of this final book of the wizard with the mark on the forehead. In a clear evolution, Yates led the Order of the Phoenix praised and held an even better job in Half-Blood Prince, which has accredited an unquestionable way for this last adventure. With a book of nearly 600 pages to adapt and to be by far the most detailed, producers David Heyman and David Baron decided that not to suppress important parts to the narrative, the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows would be split into two films. They were shot simultaneously, with the first part being released on November 19, 2010 and the second on July 15, 2011. The screenwriter Steve Kloves - who wrote all the film adaptations, except Order of the Phoenix - to be informed of the division into two movies made an excellent start to the end. In Deathly Hallows there are no subplots unnecessary and absolutely everything is extremely important for the final conclusion. Kloves has no hurry to develop in nearly two and a half hours Projection everything that matters in the work of JK Rowling. Kloves inserts many scenes of reflection of the characters and passages of conversation between them further strengthen their relationship over the months that get together that difficult journey. The first part is slower, supported on runways and in the long run for months found by the protagonists, while the second focuses on the action, the great final battle, having a climate more apocalyptic. According to author JK Rowling revealed itself, more than any other book in the series, the last volume is a continuation of the unfinished stories in book six. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of the longer books in the entire series and in it there are several references to other books and films in the series, including character doing and saying goodbye to revisit places that were part of other years of Harry's life, so the ideal is that those who watch this film has read the books or seen the movies, otherwise the view will be severely degraded. Following the notorious technical evolution of the series, The Deathly Hallows has the best effects of the series. It is important to point that this is the only movie that Industrial Light & Magic did not participate in the visual effects. The effects, Oscar nominated and BAFTA are faultless. From the aerial, as the first appearance of Snape in Voldemort's headquarters, or scenes like the scene of the Seven Potter (Daniel Radcliffe that had to do about 90 takes for this one scene); battles and escape the streets skies and tunnels of London, recreating even better elves Kreacher and Dobby, the effects of the horcrux shortly before his detsruição by Ron and the capture of the trio that is brought to the home of great fights Malfoy in the headquarters. The art direction Oscar nominated once again made by Stuart Craig, is divine. No Hogwarts present this first, the challenge was to create various scenarios and achieve many other outdoor locations for filming. The scenes outside of Malfoy Manor, for example, were filmed at Hardwick Hall, one of the most luxurious villas of Queen Elizabeth. Moreover, we have the sets forests and cliffs where the trio takes refuge, the wedding venue of Bill and Fleur, a redesign of the abandoned headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix and the expansion of various scenarios of the Ministry of Magic, alleys and streets of London the Lovegood house. Some details are subtle but make the difference in a great job, for example, to bring the office of Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) as dark as the rest of the Ministry, but still exhibiting many of the decorative objects that were in his room Hogwarts. The BAFTA nominated makeup, costumes and flawless once again Jany Temime also deserve applause. The film would be the first in the series to be released in 3D, but had its release format canceled a few weeks before the official debut. David Yates continues the tense tax on their previous work on the franchise, without forgetting to extract the best performances from the cast. No sooner has the film begins and we are faced with an engaging and exciting scene with Hermione and her parents. Shortly after we see Harry, after saying goodbye Dursley, revisits his room under the stairs before leaving the place once, in another striking scene. Ahead production, Harry pulls Hermione to dance when she was sad about the departure of Ron. A scene delicate, sensitive in that the characters in a full demonstration of friendship fzendo them go from total sadness to happiness and ends again with sadness about the fact that they could not escape. Another decision that Yates became a differential count was the choice of ""The Tale of the Three Brothers"" in animated form. A very well done animation tells the story fully, keeping the colors in the same climate of production. Also highlighted the option to tell ""The Tale of the Three Brothers"", in which is explained the origin of such relics of death, through an animation. The development was sensational, keeping the gloomy mood of the production. It looked like an animation made by Tim Burton by graphics and scene lighting. Yates has the wisdom to assert the other films. In Deathly Hallows we have the distinct feeling that everything seen so far in preparing for the grand finale. All spells that the characters learned and were little used, now flow as the need will arise. We also see the importance of the training of Dumbledore's Army in The Order of the Phoenix. The leading trio spends the entire movie running away and taking refuge in various locations. Hermione, for example, begins the film completely erasing the memory of the parents to protect them, and spends the entire movie plagued by these memories, knowing they will probably never see them, and if they do, they do not recognize. Ron is one that is no longer comic relief to begin to face their own fears, and now is listening to a radio, to see if your parents or siblings are well. Harry spends all his time with the responsibility of having to go after the Horcruxes because Voldemort knows quea death depends on it. Still have to live with revelations of his mentor Dumbledore, and even back to the place where he was born to face the facts of her past. The quality of the interpretation of the trio is clear. Are required to maintain the tension and fear in every scene and face your fears. Since Hogwarts is not present, this is the only movie that has the presence of Maggie Smith and David Bradley as Professor McGonagall and as Mr. Filch, respectively. Alan Rickman (Snape), David Thewlis (Lupin) and Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) lose space appearing in a few scenes. John Hurt was the actor with the greatest range of appearance between films, appearing as Mr. Ollivander in Sorcerer's Stone (2001) and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010). Ralph Fieenes arises imposing as Lord Voldemort and in the first few scenes already shown their distaste for those who are not pure blood and demonstrates his power to others. Helena Bonham Carter shines as Bellatrix Lestrange and Tom Felton appears in some scenes very much like Draco Malfoy. Bill Nighy incorporates a Ministry of Magic verging on caricature, but not enough to compromise. David Yates, as well as deepen the drama, and rely on some impressive technique, know how to create great action scenes as the entire sequence involving the three invading the Ministry of Magic, the pursuit of the kidnappers to the trio in the woods, and parts with suspense and terror, as the home of Bathilda Bagshot or the final climax in the house of Malfoy who are faced with Bellatrix and others. Until torture scenes (which were minimized in the final edit to suit the age rating of the film) were shown. Yates and Kloves further distance themselves from all the rules of other films and books, to not atrelarem the issue of time. Christmas, for example, is represented in the scenes in Godric's Hollow, but not him or the arrival of other seasons ranging guiding events, which always culminated with the end of the mysteries and adventures near the last day of school year. The film maintains a sense of urgency and tension throughout its duration. Yates knows move the camera with instability to put the viewer in the scene, uses transitions satisfactory angles higher leaving the characters smaller and more vulnerable, and in outdoor locations, plans air contemplative deserts on land, virtually untouched by man, further increase the feeling of loneliness and the air that post-apocalyptic world threatened by Voldemort. The Deathly Hallows Part I is bold, interesting but not works as an independent film. Many of the points raised here will only be answered even in the second half. But in order to draw attention and make sure that the series will have an end as deserved is reached.",7 "When creativity is lacking... I feel like the only appeal of this show was an escape to a simpler time, it's fueled by how polarized and ugly our current year is coupled with a huge amount of meh content and a severe lack of good entertainment... like a boxing champ that benefited from weak competition this show is not as good as people make out.",5 "Listen, it's not a ""bad"" movie at all; in fact, it is pretty good and pretty well made. Mendes is a good director so you wouldn't expect anything less, but wow this movie has major issues and flaws. I really did like watching it for ""one time"", but I won't ever watch it again, and that alone is the sign of a movie that is not very good, certainly not a ""classic"". Some parts are really frustrating, and that's never a good sign. The cinematography is brilliant and ambitious, but the story's implausibilities, poor character development, lack of realism, and deux machina really were a surprise to me since it won the Golden Globe. I was not expecting such an unrealistic film after it won the award. I actually now question the Golden Globe's motives and authority in handing out awards after this won. Cinematography, yes, but story and plot absolutely not. This is a big fail of a movie if they are taking it seriously and pawning it off as award worthy. It just does not suffice. In a nutshell, take 1/2 (half) of Saving Private Ryan for its quality, and nothing more.",5 "This film is in the vein of movies like ""The Matrix"" that flirt with the idea of an unknown but discoverable substrate underlying our ordinary experiences. This one comes especially close to Poe's view that all that we see is but a dream within a dream. The premise used to question our grasp on reality is fairly original: a team of individuals with different specialties has the ability to enter and stage other people's dreams, extract information from their subconscious and, crucially, even implant ideas with the expectation that these will, so to speak, rise to the surface--an original method of suggestion. The film spends quite a bit of time acquainting the viewer with the main characters and the peculiar laws that govern their work before setting them on the mission the plot centers on. While it is not always easy to follow, I found this setup the most arresting part of the film. Unfortunately, the main narrative does not, in my view, live up to the promise of the setup. The film is laden with scenes that would fit into any of a legion of Hollywood action flicks: car chases, hand to hand combat, explosions, shoot-'em-ups. It cannot be said that all of these serve to advance the narrative; the rationale for proceeding from one hackneyed scene to the next is frequently contrived, illogical or murky. Technically, they are well done and should gratify those who thrive on such fare. Visually, I found the scenes that show the generation of dreamscapes most laudable: the effects truly dazzle. I won't say the film entirely neglects the story it sets in motion but I certainly feel the time devoted to car chases and explosions could have been profitably devoted to developing the story and characters. To give a glaring example, I would have liked to have known the aftermath of the heros' intervention in their target's subconscious.",7 "Pseudo nationalism sellout nothing else can be said for Season 2, with its subtle Privatisation support isn gullak s02 to now selling out nationalism via mytrs.",4 "There are currently 23 MCU movies and this one by far was the worst I have ever seen. It seemed that they were rushed to make the movie and couldn't develop a good screen play. The multiverse is a great concept and Raimi struggle to use that to his advantage. There were many opportunities for the film to take the next step but instead took a step back and made the plot really predictable. Raimi tried to step away from the marvel formula and make a different movie but ultimately missed the mark and ended up going straight back to the typical Marvel delivery system. I'm summery this movie had the potential to be an all time great but instead this movie underperformed in every way possible. I suggest waiting till this movie goes to Disney plus, if that, if you plan on watching it.",2 "I never bursted out laughing but there were many chuckles. I am a sucker for mysteries so the plot, as dumb as it is, was enjoyable. One of the better Adam Sandler movies.",5 I really wanted to really like Black Panther but honestly after watching black panther 2 times I can't honestly say I don't get the hype this movie is overrated.the CGI was very inconsistent sometimes it was good sometimes it was bad but my main 2 problems with this movie is that the storyline was so slow it was boring and 2nd the main character black panther himself was so boring he had 0 personality yet he was surrounded by entertaining characters with bold personalities that out shined black panther like shuri and okoye they were such strong badass characters and the villain killmonger was really good some positives is that the soundtrack in the movie was great and the costume design was great the characters looked amazing Overall I found this movie slow paced with a boring main,2 "And what it did was bring the issue of AIDS to mainstream public consciousness. That, in the end, makes up for its many flaws. Watching the movie today, it's easy to see that this is just an overrated melodrama. The characters are written so unrealistically. The Hanks character is one step short of a saint. The villains couldn't be more obvious if they were twirling their mustaches. The worst offender is the big speech by he father, played by Bob Castle. This was clearly written by a gay man with the character saying what he WOULD have liked his father to say, not what most father of gay men WERE saying at the time. The movie won tons of awards -- it resonated with the political correctness of Hollywood at the time. Even the film's hit soundtrack, except for Peter Gabriel's ""Lovetown"", is plodding. However, it has dated badly and there's no reason to watch it today. IMHO, this prevented a Best Picture Award for Steven Spielberg and Best Actor Award for Hanks for ""Saving Private Ryan"", a VASTLY superior film. Check that out instead.",3 "This is my first review for a show and it's because this is beyond masterful. The only complaint I have is HOW this did not continue after season three? This show was done a disservice in that regard. As viewers, we aim to see shows with characters that are living, breathing, truly & fully fleshed out - this is the generosity we have been given with Hannibal. I too wondered how anyone can measure up to Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter and then THIS HAPPENED. The writing, directing, acting, story telling is so above par. If you're squeamish, you might have to skip through or advert your attention at some parts, but even then I would not advise you to miss out on this. 10 stars, undeniably.",10 "Well to be fair the intended audience appears to be young women and girls so my rating probably doesn't count with them. I assume that, other than those with financial attachments, they are the ones rating this higher. Everything about the show felt cheap, like in an afternoon 'kidult' show. Poor acting, cheap props, dire script, routine plot - or at least one where we can see the whole thing before it happens. One episode was more than enough for me.",5 "1994 was an interesting film year, in that it produced two of the most highly lauded films in recent memory -- Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump -- which, in my humble opinion, are both grossly overrated. I'm not sure I could say Pulp Fiction is the worse of the two, but it's certainly the more disappointing. The reason for this is that Quentin Tarantino's script demonstrates his flair for hip, knowing dialogue, and his ability to use such dialogue to take the edge off violence (a good or bad thing, depending upon your views). The problem is that, rather than use this gift to create characters in whom you are actually interested in following, Tarantino instead opts for the equivalent of writing and directorial masturbation -- i.e., showing what he can do merely for the purpose of showing that he can do it, without any real concern for character or plot. Such an approach may be call for praise from critics and devotees, but for me they are a grievously missed opportunity. Indeed, what was wildly praised as ingenious film-making (i.e., through the non-linear and looping time order of the scenes) instead smacks of an effort to cover up the lack of coherence in plot and character. As for the highly lauded performances, only three really stand out for me, and two -- Harvey Keitel and Christopher Walken -- in glorified cameos. The only other truly developed character is that of Samuel L. Jackson, whose character discovers something from his experiences, and attempts to act on what he has learned. The other performances in the film range from the passable (Ving Rhames), to the flat (Bruce Willis), to the really annoying (John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Amanda Plummer). If you want to see the best Tarantino film, watch a film where he creates believable characters and puts them through their paces, albeit with the help of Elmore Leonard source material -- Jackie Brown.",3 "This is an amazing movie. i was really impressed by the movie. I am looking forward for action blockbuster in the Cap America series. Especially in 3D, final fight was superb. And Chris Evans impressed me very much.And the timing of little bit humor is awesome. As usual Sam.L.Jackson proved what an actor he is. And story line dint lost any logic even after having action scenes.This movie is worth seeing trice. Looking forward for the Avengers 2 movie. Hope it will reach the standards of Cap America 2 Movie. And a terrific elevator fight sequence probably stands out as truly memorable whereas the encounters with the Winter Soldier never feel repetitive. The actors are absolutely brilliant in their roles. This film is simply exceptional in every way.",10 "It is boring, plan, and unenthusiastic! It's often stated that horror is the most difficult genre to convey, and after watching this rendition of Annabelle, I must agree. There is truly a disconnect between the main ""Conjuring"" movies, and the spin offs. They all seem to rely on these cliche horror tricks in order to pull off scares. It does not work. Character development is weak, and when you cannot connect with the characters, you will not feel nor care for the fear they are projecting. I honestly dosed off a few times; In a ""horror"" none the less. I would say this type of horror is made for children, and children who are unseasoned with horror movies. It takes no chances, and tries to throw as much on the dark screen as possible.",5 "This review is influenced by hunger. I didn't make the time to properly eat before watching this film. That meant sitting for 152 minutes feeling hungry. Warning: this review contains food metaphors. A great director is like a great chef. Great chef's understand how to balance a menu and keep your tastebuds dancing through your meal. Great director's understand how to balance a great film, they know how to keep an audience hanging on every scene, line and twist on the screen. The senses work in harmony with anticipation. It's all about knowing what to add in and what to leave out. It's also all about mixing your ingredients, making all the elements work together to create an experience for your customer. A sandwich and a glass of juice can be just as enjoyable as a 7 course tasting menu, a straightforward revenge film can be just as exciting as a blockbuster trilogy. It all comes down to the balance of ingredients and the way they are put together. As with any film or meal I watch or eat I try not to decide before experiencing it. The proof is always in the pudding. First impressions count. The opening scene was promising, this was a neat little appetiser. As bank job scenes go, this was one of the better efforts. My first thought was that to make a villain more dangerous, show them in stark daylight – not dark shadows. It was a pleasant surprise to see The Joker in bright light. For some reason Batman has to be 'dark' - I appreciate that the original comics were 'dark', but I can't help thinking that a really brave director would play with that. Whenever the Joker was placed in harsh daylight that made him much more haunting than scuttling around in shadows. It was impossible not to watch the film without analysing Ledger's performance in a deeper way. His death was a tragedy and quite obviously added a macabre twist of reality to the film which the studio chose to run with. Some may feel uncomfortable with that, I don't. I'm sure if he were alive Ledger would want it that way and I am also sure he would welcome honest opinions of his performance. There has been talk that he should be nominated for an Oscar, to me rather than respecting him in death it actually belittles him. After the film I asked myself whether his performance merited an Oscar nomination; to me it didn't. It was obviously a great role to play and he played it excellently, but if that proves to be Oscar worthy, then I will find it hard to respect the Oscars as a standard of film excellence. What am I comparing against? Last years screen villain Javier Bardem. He set the bar for deranged psychopath. I asked myself; who would I not want to be in trouble with? Anton Chigurh every time. After Ledger it was a case of 'the rest of the film'. To me it was a let-down. The constant loud music and sound effects drowned out the mumbling of the actors. It was hard to follow what was going on and that may be the reason why I left wondering what the actual story was. There seemed to be too much going on, as if sticking to one clear plot line was a risk. As with the last film Michael Caine stole the best lines, Morgan Freeman also had his moments. Sadly Christian Bale seemed to sleepwalk through the film. I may be the only person in the known universe who thinks he was more wooden than a Welsh dresser. This was a big shame for me as I believe he's got what it takes to be a screen legend. Maybe it was the way he was directed, or the script? There were some clear absurdities running through the film. I can suspend disbelief enough to live with a caped billionaire flying around buildings and I can even let them get away with not putting a bullet into the Joker after about 15 minutes of the film. What I can't get is how Rachel Dawes was supposed to be 'really beautiful'. I'm sure Maggie Gyllenhaal is a lovely lady, but just as I'm not really handsome, she's not really beautiful. This had me confused. On top of all the other confusions that was where I lost the plot. If this film was dinner it would be a huge one course bowl with the tasty appetiser buried at the bottom. There would be nothing but rich fatty meats, chili's and heavy fish and egg sauces piled as high as possible and then covered with more sauces. Some beer would also be hoyed in and maybe some more sauce. There would be no rice, no veg and definitely no Brussels sprouts (not such a bad thing…) It was as though nothing was allowed to breathe, there was just a relentless assault of set pieces and noise all resulting in a tasteless mess. Obviously a dish like that is going to be popular with some, I totally understand that, but I'm looking for something else. With the ingredients available I was disappointed with this film. With a more direct plot and story, breathing space and pacing (was there any?) this could have been so much better. Nolan obviously has talent, but I was left feeling as though he is much smarter than the film he has just released. Was he under pressure to tick studio boxes, has he lost sight of the trees? If he gets another crack at this franchise I hope that he strips away the extraneous mess and delivers a more direct, better balanced Batman which is worthy of a top 3 IMDb ranking.",5 The vast amount of space is always been intriguing and waiting to be discovered. This movie dives deep into these ideas and gives a complex and adventurous route through time and space. Open your mind sit back and enjoy a good movie.,7 "ART HOUSE Co-written and directed by Robert Eggers with the character of Thomas Howard (William Dafoe), employing Thomas Wake (Robert Pattinson) to work at the lighthouse, with strict instructions that forbids him to go to the light tower. By the time it was revealed that the boat was not going to show, Thomas Wakes eventually goes nuts over this, turning the forbidden light tower into an obsession rant as soon as he was left stuck onto the small island with the Thomas Howard character to whom he loathes and cannot stand anymore. There's so many different interpretations regarding the ending that I did not care anymore.",5 "It's not a bad movie, but it's quite flat and nothing that you haven't seen before. Lacks in epic qualities and in depicting the true dangers of racing in those days. Forgettable soundtrack. See ""Rush"" for a far better outcome on all these aspects. The worst flaw is in the way they filmed the circuit De La Sarthe: first, there's no iconic shot on the Mulsanne straight, that's something I don't understand; secondly, they failed in showing what a grind was driving at 300kmh for three minutes, with a couple of very hard brakes. Also, they didn't show the slower classes of cars racing simultaneously, that were a true hazard. Overall, little remains for racing enthusiasts.",5 "Many people are standing in front of the house n some women are crying...

But how Gerwig and Baumbach managed to write a script that is part social satire, comedy, and deeply moving statement is kind of amazing. The movie was kind of all over the place, but very entertaining. And America Ferrara read some great speeches. Robbie and Gosling were, of course, the only two people who could have possibly played these roles. They are Barbie and Ken.

I have loved Steve Martin and Martin Short for years, and Selena Gomez makes a perfect dry straight woman to them. Brilliantly written with an emphasis on character and heart, and always funny without trying too hard. The direction and music are stellar, too.

I was super excited to see this after seeing the trailers and playing the games, but when you feel embarrassed for the actors while watching, that is about the worst thing I can describe. It is simply bad. Very bad.",1 """My Name Is Khan"" is not a movie.. IT IS A LEGEND .. I cried more than I watched the movie... YOU MUST SEE IT .. This movie is truly a wonderful piece of art that show the real humanity of all man kind.. It was so late that I watched this movie, but I really have nothing to say more that .. It is the best movie I have ever seen Long time ago. When you see the movie, it will really truly show you what is the purpose of our life, why we live, and why we need each other. We are all humans, we must not differentiate between each other one a religion, color, or sex.. we are in this life only good or bad peoples that I pray to ALLAH to direct them to the right way. Overall, the movie is fantastic, everything was exquisite, actors were more than good.. Really wonderful piece of work that will remain for centuries..",10 This movie is an overrated movie an did not deserve an Oscar especially 6,6 "OK, this film did have great effects. And it had potential to be a great film. But sadly, it wasn't. It took to long to get started. There were some annoying dialogues. The effects are what kept me in the cinema, but, great effects don't make a great film. My friend and I nearly left the cinema, and at many times, a lot of other people watching it were getting annoyed at how slow it really was. I think the main thing that annoyed me was who they were actually trying to 'incept'. Just didn't seem like a very important figure. 'Incepting' the president or someone like that could have been much more entertaining:0 Sorry Mr Nolan, but next time tell the story properly:) J",5 "After an recommendetion (order) from my girlfriend to watch not only her childhood, but all time favorite tv show, I wasnt exactly jumping from joy. I'm not best at watching tv shows and an animated show wasnt on top of my list. I gave it a try and I was on for a ride. Avatar: The Last Airbender might be an animated show thats main target audience is kids and teens, but Avatar is full of character development, history lessons, storytelling and moral choices without forgetting the countless humour and jokes between unforgettable characters that it offers something for everyone without caring what age you are. Throughout the 3 seasons you get to learn numerous characters, good and bad that for the most part feel like real people with emotions, strengths and weaknesses who struggle with realistic problems even if the world has been on war for their lifetime. From the start of the series to epic finale you see them grow so much and face many different threats meanwhile also battling with their minds and morals asking eachother whats right and wrong. Avatar is a must watch show for everyone not just for the entertainment value, but I feel like people can learn a thing or two from the characters of the show.",8 "Barbie blew my expectations away. I have never seen such a brilliantly written movie that makes me want to immediately rewatch. Every detail was thought of in Barbie's world and the satire of the Ken's and patriarchal society was hilarious and relatable as a woman. The dialogue was perfectly childish (as if children were playing with the barbie's speaking) and intelligent. America Ferrara's monologue about the hardships of being a woman was spot on and every woman in the theater could relate. The movie was fun and heartfelt while also drawing attention to society's imperfections. Men who say this film isn't good or ""anti-man"", is part of the problem.",10 "The premise is exciting, the cast is interesting, the scenery is great. But somehow it doesn't hold together really well, or to say differently: it's not better than the Harry Potter movies. It will be a good TV movie for children to watch, but it's never going to be remembered as great cinema. It suffers from the same ""dryness"" as the Harry Potter series. Director David Yates simply has difficulty transmitting the magical world atmosphere in his adaptation of J.K. Rowling's material. Some nice CGI will not make up for conventional editing. The biggest flaw is the very limited and barely functional usage of music. For long period of times there is no music at all, and if one thing is important in a movie about magic, it's music. It's just stack on under some scenes in a cheap fashion. Then there is the music itself, that after recycling the Harry Potter theme in the intro disappear into the realm of unimportant art forms. It's just a few orchestral effects here and there, no memorable themes. David Yates doesn't seem to understand that music is just as important as the images. In short: The direction in general is way too conventional for a movie about magic. All the costume, set designers and actors did an great job with what they had. Just wished it had been better.",7 "It is just boring, full of clichés and way too long. I have to admit that the voice of Lady Gaga is just phenomenal, but we already knew that, so was not a big surprise. Overall, I think that it's just an overrated movie.",3 "I read that Nolan--an undoubtedly great director, great mind--has been working on this movie for 10 years. It's interesting then, that it comes out right after the last big movie we saw Leo Diocaprio in, ""Shutter Island,"" because the similarities are BLATANT. I did not enjoy Shutter Island, and I would have rather not seen a part 2, but that's basically what this was...with a lot better cinematography. The good: Leo is always great. The special effects--mesmerizing to the level (or beyond) of an ""Avatar."" The music (it was sooo dramatic and produced the desired effect in the audience.) The story idea--although not that original, it was approached in a memorable way: ""planting an idea in someone's mind."" There is the requisite underpinning of capitalism to the extreme (the whole project is based on dismantling a company for the competition) that is always interesting as well. Also, the genre: if you like SciFi (which I don't), this is your movie. The not so good: I've still yet to figure out how Ellen Page was discovered as an actress. She has NO screen presence, NO charisma. Her character here didn't have to be flat (in fact, that character could have given some much needed humor quips the movie was sorely lacking), but she made it that way, bringing that same ""dryness"" of her Juno character and those awful Cisco commercials. She just doesn't have ""it,"" and the chemistry between her and DiCaprio leaves a lot to be desired. The bad: The length--just absolutely way too long. It really shouldn't have taken two and half hours to get to the climax. In fact, when sitting through what felt like was an hour of the planning stage before the inception, I said out loud, ""Get on with it!"" I think the person beside me agreed. At some point, you were ready for the movie to move forward! And hence, the other bad part: The pace. Too slow. The slowness was disguised as ""the great intellectual buildup,"" and perhaps to a degree it was, but the movie suffered because of it. I read many reviews and see the 9.3 rating, and a part of me thought that maybe I should see this again before reviewing, that maybe I missed something. (Even the ticket guy at the theater said before I went in, ""That movie is awesome. I've seen it three times!"") But then I decided against waiting to review. In my opinion, if a movie does what it's supposed to do--leave that awesome first impression--you shouldn't need to see it over and over to understand its greatness. See it again to learn new things you might have missed the first time, sure, but seeing it again to try to like it more shouldn't be necessary. 6.5/ 10",6 "It's a solid enough sci-fi yarn bar the most annoying lead character. The acting is terrible on her part, making it hard to warm to or empathise with her character.",6 You will enjoy this if you liked the first one. It doesn't take itself too seriously and it has some fun action scenes.,9 "I was entertained by this never a dull moment movie. Based on a true story, one that I was not familiar with. Edge of your seat stuff all the way. Not a blockbuster by any means but worth a look.",7 "Hp7 I just finished watching all the Harry Potter films back to back to back to back. What a crazy trip. Before starting this review, here is my ranking, from best to worst: HP4 > HP8 > HP1 > HP6 > HP7 > HP2 > HP3 > HP5 They should have just combined this with part 8. The film is good enough on its own but you need to watch both films back to back for the full effect.",8 "I have read several reviews on this film and am wondering ""maybe this wasn't what I was expecting"". Sure it starts off fast paced and a bit of action but slowly goes downhill from there. Clooney and Bullock are the only 2 people in the film which makes it a tad boring. Sure Bullock's performance when she is alone is very heartfelt but just watching 1 person float around and around (with the camera moving too makes you a bit sick) it just doesn't do anything for me. When it finally ended I thought what a waste of 91 mins. It had a slightly climatic ending but then ....nothing. 90 or so mins of watching them float in space...not exactly a film that keeps you interested (well me anyway)",2 "From a young guy's perspective (I'm 24), this was a horrible movie. ""Sarah Marshal"" is just another romantic comedy that everyone has seen before. Simple Synopsis: Guy is heartbroken when girl cheats on him, he finds a rebound girl, his old girl wants him back but he's moved on so he gets his revenge, THE END. Completely formulaic steaming pile of dog crap. In addition, Jason Segel (who wrote the crappy script) is a terrible lead actor. This dude seems to copy Chandler from ""Friends"" in every role he is in. He also decided to show his dick 3 times in order to get some shock appeal laughs. This can sometimes work, except it better be in the right situation. In ""Sarah Marshall,"" it just comes off as an extremely contrived way to get laughs. This is a chick flick in every way imaginable, so I can see how females may have a different opinion than I. The only redeeming qualities: Kristen Bell is SMOKIN hot, Mila Kunis is pretty hot, and Russel Brand as Alduos Snow in the 2nd half of the movie is actually pretty damn funny. However, none of this will allow me to give this trash above a 1 star. Thats how lame the rest of the movie is.",1 "Move: Monica, O My Darling Starring: Rajkumar Rao, Huma Qureshi, Radhika Apte Director: Vasan Bala Genre: Neo-noir, Crime comedy thriller film OTT platfrm: Netflix This movie tries hard to impress and it succeds. The best thing in this movie is the performance performance by leading actors. Rajkumar Rao shines in is role so des Huma Qureshi as Monica and Radhika Apte as the police officer. Story is good but we have seen these kind of stories earlier too but while watching this movie I was going with the flow and I totally forgot the ovies with same storylines earlier. Kudos to the screenplay writers for this. The cinematography of this movie is catchy as well as the background score of this movie gives life to the scenes. Talking about the drawbacks, this movie sometime lacks logic. The comedy could have been better but its okay though. If you are free and you have access to Netflix then this movie deserves your time, give it a chance. #MonicaOMyDarling #MovieReview.",7 "I was looking forward to a big budget 3D film. I thought Cameron could deliver. I was wrong and very disappointed. This film demonstrates very clearly that Cameron has lost his ability to make a watchable film. The whole thing meanders along at a snails pace, interspersed with gratuitous chase scenes. Aliens The Directors Cut gave me some idea of what Cameron would be like without an editor that enjoys cinema...Avatar looks like it's skipped straight to the directors cut. The graphics are derivative. The stereoscopic direction is contrived and technically flawed. Lots of quick camera movements that, given the frame rate of the projectors, just serves to disorientate the audience. The story is predictable, patronising and pointless. The characters are 1 dimensional. I'm not ageist, but I really think a film with this much potential scope should have been given to someone much younger with more enthusiasm and inventiveness. This is tired, formulaic rubbish....but in badly done 3D. It's so awful, you really shouldn't bother watching it. Once again the IMDb rating has surprised me, and I'm getting more and more suspicious about their validity. 8.9 out of 10 at the moment....that really doesn't match the experience I had - not on any level. The muttering of the audience at the showing I attended confirmed this wasn't a personal taste thing. It's a 3 hour long ordeal that leaves you ripped off with a blinding headache.",4 "In 2009 Sherlock Holmes was re-imagined by Guy Ritchie as an ass- kicking and mentally unstable private investigator with a weakness for a variety of mind-altering substances. Played by Robert Downey Jr., Holmes was Iron Man without the vast fortune, super-suit and fashionable beard, but with the same genius-level intellect, capable of predicting the exact outcome of a fight with a foe before the first punch is thrown. Though heavily compromised by Ritchie's sledgehammer subtlety and love for annoying Cockney geezers, it was still an entertaining take on an extremely familiar character, with Downey Jr. at his twitchy best and demonstrating a convincing English accent. A Game of Shadows, the bloated sequel rushed into production after the international success of its predecessor, turns the doctor from idiosyncratic eccentric to a babbling pantomime. When we meet Holmes, he is rescuing his flame Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams) from a bomb intended for somebody else. The package was given to her by the scheming Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris), and after her next meeting with him, she disappears. On the eve of his wedding, Dr. Watson (Jude Law) arrives at Baker Street to find Holmes deep into investigating a splurge of seemingly unrelated murders and business acquisitions linked to Moriarty, and at Watson's bachelor party, the two encounter a gypsy woman named Simza (Noomi Rapace), the intended recipient of the letter that accompanied the bomb. Without any sign of the storytelling flair of the books, A Game of Shadows becomes little more than a series of punch-ups, shoot-outs and inane exchanges between Holmes and his trusted Watson. At one point, the heroes are fired at by an increasingly ridiculous arsenal of machine guns as trees shatter and fireballs explode around them in ultra slo-mo. Any resemblance to one of literatures most beloved characters is lost, and it feels instead like you're watching a movie about The Transporter's British granddad, albeit with a touch more style. Mad Men's Harris is impressive as Holmes's most challenging foe, but Rapace's character is so redundant that she is reduced to just a pretty face for the poster. Shockingly, the main problem is Downey Jr., whose hyperactive shtick is as tiresome as the plot he is caught up in.",4 "If you're a fan of martial arts this is a good one to watch. Donnie Yen portrays the Ip Man, a family man of good standing who faces many challenges in the movie. Much like a Bruce Lee movie, the plot is really just a method of introducing a number of action/fight sequences, culminating in the Ip Man's confrontation with invading Japanese forces in China's WW II experience. The fight choreography is fast and entertaining, and the movie's villains and heroes cast in stark black and white terms. For all its limitations, Ip Man manages to hold one's attention, providing there is no viewer antipathy for martial arts violence. At times the violence is quite intense, which will probably get it an R rating when it becomes available in the U.S.",6 "Once again, Morgan Freeman jokes on everybody. Viewers on Now You See Me perhaps waited for his dramatic presence to reveal the truth, but wooossshhh... Don't waste your time to wait on that moment. Now You See Me is not uniquely delivered for Morgan Freeman, it's not an action film either, but it is hit-politic movie that under-ego all the scenes and Morgan Freeman becomes a character to please the real plot and the real actor to be born. Viewers can't differentiate this movie with The Prestige or The Illusionist because the two before are coming to surprise viewers. Now You See Me doesn't have to be surprised for. It is pure a critic to the one of high society structures on the society... and the illusionists among them are their friends to make it happen.",6 "The Series is well as the title of my review goes, overrated. TVF has given gems like panchayat, trippling and gullak (my favourite) , but Aspirants missed the mark by a huge margin. Navin Kasthuria put in an honest effort but is restricted by the range he possesses , Shivankit as Guri is a delight, Shwetketu is the best amongst the tripod gang lending a degree of authenticity to his character. Yes, ""Sandeep bhayya"" did a swell job but then he didn't have a lot of talent to compete with. The story plot was paper thin, the characters lacked depth and I would request TVF to rather charge money for a series than shove their sponsors right up our faces. I swear I will not purchase even a single course from Unacademy even if they are the only one's providing it. Indian audience needs to mature and set their standard higher, if they rate everything as 10 then there won't be any difference between a great product and a mediocre one. Aspirants is mediocre at best. What made Gullak, Panchayat and Trippling good shows was the fact that they had good actors and good stories. For Aspirants neither is present.",6 "I had my doubts before watching this show because of my previous experience with R Madhavan's Breathe. Breathe disappointed me and i thought Indian Tv shows cannot be better than this and made peace with it but then came Sacred Games very ambitious project with highly Talented cast and Crew. Anurag Kashyap and Vikramadithya motwane are both power house of talent. And the cast Nawaz and Saif is an unusual and interesting combination at the sametime. Coming to the Show, the pilot episode(Ashwathama) hooked me and i was now convinced that its going to be a great watch.",9 "Firstly, I love Tarantino films, that's why it pains me to write this review. Basically the film depicts a Hollywood that once was, the lifestyle, the scenery, and we get to follow a select few lives and routines. Please don't take the above literally, as the story line is non existent and flits back and forth amongst these individuals, with some sections making barely any sense. This was the second time I've attempted to watch this film, due to the fact boredom kicked in and I couldnt stomach anymore. That being said, watch the film for Brad Pitt's scenes. Without Pitt, I wouldve given up yet again on this film. If you're looking for laughs and action, this film isn't for you, if you wish to time travel and get a glimpse of the celebrity struggles at the higher end of the spectrum, then go for it, just don't have high hopes....",6 "It would be the real world if superheroes did exist! This coupled with good writing, interesting plot-twists and the absence of clichés makes it the best among the superhero movies/shows for me. The endings of both season have a perfect subtle cliffhanger which makes them feel finished and at the same time makes you look forward to the new one!",9 "Lost in space is undoubtedly one of the best shows on Netflix and with each new season, it just gets better. Season 3 has new adventures, new dangers, answers to the last 2 seasons while raising a few more questions, and beautiful shots. Though the story seems simple without many twists (as expected) but space premies will enjoy it. Highly recommended! ❤",8 "Loved the nerdy idea of this show - it was something different. Even my girlfriend who doesn't like tech or Sci-Fi was gripped by it. Sadly the entire series was ruined by Lilly. Her acting is awful and so annoyingly dull. She's so unconvincing as an actress that I found myself wishing her scenes away. Which is a shame as the scenes without her are great and the rest of the actors are fine.",7 "After seeing previews showing authentic WWII aircraft, I thought ""Wow,"" and couldn't wait to see this in our IMAX. While the visuals were indeed superb, I found the ""Batman"" like dramatic soundtrack intended to ramp up the viewers anxiety levels during intense battle scenes overwhelming. This effect was used throughout the movie and in my opinion was completely unnecessary and became progressively annoying as the movie played on. Frankly, I think the action sequences were sufficiently thrilling alone, where including an instrumental soundtrack only served to distract the viewer from any sense of the realism portrayed on screen. It's unfortunate that Christopher Nolan choose to portray this event in a ""Batman"" like dramatic setting. I did feel the movie was entertaining, but not nearly the caliber of a ""Saving Private Ryan"" quality as I was hoping for. There are several stories playing out, leaving insufficient time for character development to the extent needed to make you really care about anyone in particular. There were also a couple of action sequences that strained credibility if you are a WWII realist, but fortunately not so many that it came off as a ""Rambo"" type film. I think most will enjoy it as an above average WWII offering with great visuals. With a few tweaks, it could have been much better though.",6 "It is for mango people! the dialogue rocks! Simply great movie a truly sensible and for modern lovers. This is a strong film reflects on how the old style of true love is still alive in this generation. It is also strongly appealing that god exists, belief exists and true love exist finally Saif, and Deepika rocks they both share a good chemistry on screen.And of course how can we forget Rishi Kapoor I think he is well tailored for this role A very predictable end but the way it ends is simply superb i think all 'HUM TUM' lovers will like this.",7 "This movie just wasted over two hours of my precious life. I would rather stick cacti in my eyes than re-watch this horrible film. It had an interesting beginning but in the middle of the movie it made me realize that it was going nowhere. On top of that, the ending was just stupid. If you value your life, you won't waste time on this movie.",4 "I won't go into long detail about the story line other than that it follows Wednesday as she gets sent off to boarding school and separates from the Addams Family but I will say that the acting is great, the story is fun, the directing is on point and Thing should have always had stitches (it just looks better). They did this show right! They didn't put a bunch of BS in it like more and more shows are doing now days, they just stuck to what it is put in great effort and I think it's going to pay off. Really hoping for and looking forward to more seasons on Wednesday. Kudos to Netflix, Tim Burton, the actors and everyone involved- a job well done.",8 "While Season One of The Umbrella Academy had a tonal imbalance and took a little too long to get to the good stuff, it was still watchable and populated with fun, relatable characters. Season 2 manages to not only keep the best parts of its inaugural run, but fixes all of its missteps along the way. Characters are further defined and have well-motivated arcs, the universe expands nicely, the tone is consistent while maintaining a powerful emotional through-line, and the weirdness factor is turned up to 11. All in all if you can get through a rocky but entertaining freshman season, you'll be blown away and throughly satisfied with the wilder and wackier follow up.",8 "Went for the first day first show of dark knight rises. Well to conclude the heading, I am highly disappointed and creatively unjustified by this movie. Being a fan of this franchise and equally supported fan of director Christopher Nolan, whose work had been astounding and Analytical till so far.. i have always loved the philosophical part of his cinema, the character building, the conflict and the grey and the dark matters which he portrayed in his movies.i always loved the part of the antagonist of his movies and building the drama,but in dark knight rises i thought he lost his way.bane is just a typecast Hollywood villain who will definitely lose to batman and like joker(heath Ledger) the depth of the role was not at all there. secondly,the movie seems like made in hurry to conclude all possible points and way down you don't attach to anybody.am not talking about editing here but in general the story which is not fascinating enough to the epic conclusion of the film.i mean why a reputed director will complete the franchise for the sake of completing. Well its not a very bad movie at all,better than all usual action flicks of Hollywood.one time watch for me but an average which is not expected from Chris Nolan. He had repeated the same shots and the thrill which were present in Inception finally the casting of Joseph Gordon which got the role probably because of good terms with the director and the inclusion of Marion Cotillard who just didn't suits the role.There are a few plot holes but will not mention them,i maybe sounding like a retard critic but this is surely not for me.",5 "Well Steven Chow has managed to make me laugh so hard I almost hurt myself. The wisdom not only to bring back kung fu stars of the past but to use his incredible ensemble cast for Sholin Soccer was amazing. and for those of you who weren't paying attention to the great movie homages then you need to go back and see this film again. I'm going back in about 3 hours, better take a crash cart with me. I love that among all th violence he manages to throw in a cute little love story. The only down side is that this is not as family friendly as Sholin but for those who can handle it it is worth the time and money to see this one.",10 "Season one was solid. It did a good job of establishing the characters and creating its world. Season two, everything that was cleverly built up in season one came crashing down with weak and pandering storylines. Big letdown from what could have been. Probably won't waste my time with season 3.",6 "I enjoyed watching Beth develop as a talented chess player, meeting the interesting characters who were part of her life and the pitfalls she faced along the way to reaching her goal. The story was excellent. But at top level chess, it was not realistic in that chess matches resulted in either wins or losses, and draws rarely occurred. In reality at this level of chess players are so evenly matched and draws are a frequent occurrence. At the last 4 world championships won by Magnus Carlsen, he had to settle for draws in the vast majority of his games. At the 2018 world championship with Caruana, all 12 games were draws and it had to be settled with a rapid chess tiebreaker. Even when Fischer beat Spassky in 1972, more than half the games were draws.",8 "I've been told that maybe AD is just not my kind of comedy. That statement is, however, untrue. When I heard about this show coming out all those years ago, I was looking forward to it with such anticipation. On the night it premiered, I was practically bouncing up and down the whole night. Then it actually came on the air. [...] I had no idea what to do with it! I knew I didn't like it, but I kept thinking maybe it would get better. Of course, it didn't. Week after week, bomb after bomb, it just failed. It let me down. The jokes were staged very poorly. The performances are deplorable. Which brings me to one of the things I have always hated most in television history-- ""I'm half machine! *I'm a monsteeeeeeeeeer!*"" That line was terrible, and it summed up one side of the show for me: the massively overblown, painful side. Sadly, the only other ""side"" to ""Arrested Development"" is the massively underblown, also painful side. I hope this show stays buried. But, hey, AD fans-- enjoy! Clearly you enjoy it-- I don't want to stand in the way! Just don't try to convert me, as someone I know once did. That was another thing that turned me off of this show.",1 "By von dela cruz Forget Orange is the New Black. Natasha Lyonne starred and co-wrote this Netflix in house production and she'll make you laugh at first then pour whisky and ask yourself- If I kill myself right now will people really care? The show is as worthy as its predecessor and one of my all time best- Groundhog Day. Except this one has extreme cursing, midlife crisis, tons of fornication and an existential anger that I never knew possible. Or quite simply, something that I can relate to more. Lol. I can just watch this show over and over and over and over...",8 The curse of Season 2 strikes again! Wannabe wackiness is a sad thing to watch. Random fragmented episodes don't connect and don't go anywhere. Tries to recycle a few bits from season 1 but they're no longer fresh.,6 "America didnt win the war. USSR did. Otherwise, the movie was great.",1 "Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of my favourite animated TV Shows. Awesome Characters, a fantastic World and an great Storyline awaits you in Nicks best and standout Series.",10 "I went to go watch Talk to Me at the Adelaide Film Festival and man it was one of the best films I've watched in a long time. The Riley kid was so scary and his acting was just perfecto (i think his name is something Bird is his name and he was amazing), like from just the normal scenes and the scary ones, mans has a bright future. Rackaracka really surprised us with this one. Especially because they are just a couple of you tubers, but man they really pulled this off. It is so good that Adelaide is finally getting some recognition for aspiring actors and film makers growing up here. I'm pretty sure that Riley kid and James kid are from Adelaide which is super amazing and they both did really really well with there performances. Riley stunned us all with his acting capabilities while James delivered great one liners, and was super funny. Please go watch this film! Daniel is fine af and his acting was delivered beautifully. Mia's character was so good she was amazing too. Danny and Michael Philippou 1000% percent made a perfect horror film. Miranda Otto played a perfect mum and Alexandra Jensen was amazing too. I recommend 100% Like i watched smile the other week and it was so bad, i like how the movie is scary and makes you want to know whats going to happen next.",10 "I was very excited to see this movie, especially after reading some very promising critics' reviews (I know, my bad) that this was something of a cinematic event approaching the level of Stanley Kubrick's 2001:A Space Odyssey. While Gravity does behold some very good technical achievements, it falls to earth with a silent deafening thud in terms of story and especially in the script. Like so many other hyped up visual cinematic spectaculars of the computer age, the star of the show is the effects, while it's stars, through no fault of their own, are left to try to lift a simple, rather boring narrative into the stratosphere to solidify the drama of the spectacle. The film looks clean and beautiful as one would envision if jettisoned into outer space, and the 3D effects are truly in your face. However, despite a valiant performance from Sandra Bullock, the drama often gets convoluted, and the dialogue is dotted with many a cringeworthy line. All I can say is, before you spend the extra bucks on seeing Gravity in 3D and AVX, don't say I didn't warn you.",5 "I expected to love this and although I like Martin Short and Steve Martin in this, I really don't Selena Gomez in this. I loved her in Wizards of Waverly Place and expected her to be great in this. She isn't good at all and I really don't understand the glowing reviews. She brings the show down for me. She is completely wooden, like Kristen Stewart wooden...except on an antidepressant or something. She is entirely unfeeling and shows no emotion whatsoever, almost robotic. She speaks in a monotone voice and her face is fairly expressionless. Is there a chance that her character turns out to be a cold murderer...sure maybe, I'd have to continue watching to find out. Is she intentionally acting this way because that's what will happen? I don't know, but she's pretty awful in this and should try to make her character less guilty seeming perhaps. I expected to love her in this and now I don't see myself watching anything she's in.",4 "Fargo is about how far Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) will go to get some money and how out of control the situation becomes. The film follows pregnant chief police Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) as she tries to piece it all together. Frances McDormand gives a wonderful, Oscar winning performance as the multi-layered police chief. On the outside she has a comical personality, but she is also deeply caring. The movie is rounded together with fantastic performances from Steve Buscemi, Peter Stormare, and William H. Macy. The movie is beautifully shot by Roger Deakins, earning him his second Oscar nomination. The greatest aspect of the film is how the Coen brother's combated the barren landscape with dark comedy. The mixture of irony, awkward moments, and laughing at inappropriate times really make this film enjoyable to watch and a great film over all.",9 "First , like most of the reviewers, I'm a Batman fan too . The film I saw it at midnight preview and I have big indulgence even for Schumacher's Batman films pros for this film are couples : 1. Action scene are overwhelming - except the ending 2. Supporting actors raise the stake pretty high 3. Action scenes can be used for few more films - producers can save some money cons are several : 1. Hurry up screenplay ( money greed?) 2. Inconsistency in editing/finishing the film (scenes are not connected most of the time ) 3. The Batman's major actions are in close combat 4. No chemistry between the good characters - max. guilty feelings 5. The script is not using any batman themas - except the batman light signal 6. The film is rough but not in a violent way more as a general impression like usual - big trailers/advertising - low quality",4 "While I will always be a fan of Adam Sandler and hope that he makes a massive comeback that surprises everyone one day, the general consensus, including myself, is that his glory days have come to an end. Over the last decade or so, I have really only thoroughly enjoyed about 10% of the content he has created, so it was safe to assume I wasn't all that excited about his latest Netflix outing, in Murder Mystery. It's absolutely not that great of a movie, but I believe those who have seen any promotional material for this film and were turned off, may actually find some enjoyment here. Following a couple who is low on funds, Audrey (Jennifer Aniston) just wants to be able to take the dream vacation that her husband, Nick (Adam Sandler) promised her, years ago. Able to go on the vacation, with limitations, they eagerly accept an invitation to a Yacht excursion, which eventually leads to a series of murders. Nick being a cop, decides to involve himself and solve the mystery. Playing as both a comedy and murder mystery, Murder Mystery is a film that has slightly more positives than negatives, but the problems are still glaring at times. Films starring Adam Sandler have had the trend of lay humour lately and Murder Mystery definitely has a lot of that. From mumbling things under his breath to commenting on a character's actions for a quick laugh, there are many recycled jokes here, from many films. Luckily, this movie is boasted from a mystery that actually turns out to be a little surprising and there are a few comedic moments that had me chuckling, so I will give the movie a passing grade overall, for that alone. In the end, Murder Mystery is a play on the film Murder on the Orient Express, which is blatantly obvious at times, but I'm easily sucked into a good mystery and when that aspect of this movie kicks into gear, I was on board. Sure, the overall setting of this film just felt like a vacation for the cast and crew, but there was at least some meat to the story this time around. Luke Evans has a solid supporting role and I found myself enjoying the film for the most part. As I said, there are many overused tropes throughout the entire duration, but the positives definitely outweigh the negatives here. I would recommend checking this one out on Netflix if you're looking for breezy, casual viewing experience.",6 "This show has something going for it that is, at least for for me, something that will keep the viewer coming back the next week: mysteriousness. This shows narrative style is nothing like ""The Avengers"" franchise it was based on. The style has changed a lot and I think that is a good thing. The Avengers franchise had enourmous amounts of potential to just really play around with the science fiction genre, but never really did so (maybe except for ""Doctor Strange""). But with Wandavision it's a different story - this is true sci-fi. Time, space, reality nothing is what you think it is. And finally we get to see the full scope of Wanda´s capabilities. While watching this i got strong ""Legion"" vibes another Marvel show I enjoyed very much (expect for the latter seasons, but I'm not going to get into that). Marvel is doing something right here and that is thinking outside the box and doing something that might at first glance be comepletely non-sensical but gradually becomes, well less non-sensical.",9 Boring than last season. All scence are very boaring.,1 "Complete waste of 2 hours I'll never get back. How did this film ever get released? There was no explanation to any of it! Someone summed it up perfectly, should have watched it with blind folds as well lol.",1 I liked season 1 and 2 but season 3 was really disappointing. I hope they make season 4 and it saves the show from ending from the disappointing season 3. But as a whole the show is still worth a watch.,7 "This really is nothing special whatsoever, after Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince, I thought the film would have escalated to have much more suspense and a lot more action. I left bitterly disappointed. A brief synopsis of this very poor mess of a film is that Harry and his friends now go and find horcruxes and intend to destroy them, however they spend the whole film looking for one. This is nothing more than 2 hours of them camping in the forest, a very small battle with 2 wizards who nobody has ever heard of and a brief stand-off at Malfoy Manor. You should see it just to know what is happening if you haven't read the book. However if you have read the book and do not want to be disappointed - do not waste your money. It is nothing more than a money making strategy, this film is by far the worst Harry Potter film ever made. It is so bad that I sometimes forget that it was even released, I sometimes catch myself saying "" It's been ages since the Half-Blood Prince was released wasn't it? "" and my friends would reply with "" I know, but they made Deathly Hallows part 1 didn't they back in November? "". I barely recognise it as a film, it's more of a trailer for the part 2 if I'm completely honest. 5/10, poor, but not awful. Boring film, too long and too tedious. David Yates is going to have to give us something very special in part 2 to wash the away the horror of part 1.",5 Nice. Awesome 👍👍👍😊👍😊😊😊😊👍👍😊😊😊😊👍👍😊😊👍,9 "Next time, a fist bump will do. Whomever denies we're living in the greatest period of Horror Movies has simply been in a coma for the past decade. This year alone, we've had some incredible horrors such as No One Will Save You, Totally Killer, Saw X and probably the #1 of 2023, Talk to Me. Just to name a few and I haven't even seen them all yet. This is a GREAT throwback to the 80s horror without at all being an homage. THAT was refreshing as homages have become too overused lately. Especially just for the sake of being an homage. Plus, it's rare to see something THIS modern. And this RAW. Talk to Me involves some delinquent to disturbed to disgusting teens/kids who stumbled upon this Ouija-Type device to connect to the other side. Oh, but they're ""smart"" about it and only allowing the connection to last for a small amount of time. Whelp, their dance with the devil is going to be killer and they may never come back. I don't personally believe in the supernatural and yet, this felt completely real. Meaning, IF this were to happen, I truly believe these actions, reactions and disconnected/ deteriorating relationships probably would play out like this. And while I normally desire my horror movies to be right at 90 minutes, as this one was, I could've seen a little more here. There was so much emotion and threads to unravel and explore. Helps I DO love Australian horror films, so they can be as long as they need to be. And as highly as I recommend this film and it may be my favorite horror of 2023, I will say, the third act is exactly how I expected it'd play out. A lot of the great horror of the past decade have endings that truly shocked me and as extremely grim and bleak as they are, they impressed me for going there. Sadly, there weren't too many surprises here. Still, I did like the ending, and especially the very ending. Just, please. No sequel. *** Final Thoughts: It's a great time to not be a kid. I know, I just ""Get Off My Yard"" the next gen, but wow if these characters were as authentic as they appeared, I do fear for the future.",9 It's one the best performance of SRK...he nailed as gaurav chanda...its one of the entertaining and emotional and very close to my heart,10 "My husband and I went to see Red Sparrow and it was not only a boring movie, but it is also trashy. We thought we were going to see a Russian female spy James Bond type movie but it is anything but. There are almost no actions scenes. Instead it is a poor attempt to be a dark psychological mind-game type movie. Boring, trashy, pointless. Save your money and time.",1 "I've watched many Josh Whedon shows and enjoyed most of them, especially Buffy, Angel and Firefly. I can happily state that ""Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."" carries on the Whedon torch. The first nine episodes are a hit and miss, seem uncertain in their purpose, the characters feel one-dimensional, and nothing really engaging happens. Then something happens by episode 10, the characters get deeper and the story becomes more engaging."" And then it finally happens. Episode 17: ""Turn, turn, turn"" changes everything. That episode is a tie in to ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"", and while I really enjoyed that movie, I absolutely loved this episode. This single episode is just as good as ""The Avengers"" movie, and in my opinion, better than any of the other Marvel movies. It pulls a real punch. After that, there is no turning back, and the show is able to keep the momentum going until the very end of episode 22, which has a classic scene at the bottom of the sea, a rare nasty kill by the main villain, and some Nick Fury action. I enjoyed the addition of Bill Pullman, Saffron Burrows, and Samuel L. Jackson to the show, and by the day's end am satisfied with the recurring staff - both the heroes who stick to their guns and the villains who just follow orders. My advise: Don't quit this show even though you may find it a dull start. Give it a try until episode 17 and then you will not be able to let go. Enjoy it.",8 "I highly recommend this series to everyone out there. This series has everything. From art to love to action to drama to family to comedy. The story line is easy to digest but still complicated enough to make me anticipating the next episode every time an episode ended. It's not only filled with interesting journey of Aang but also include jokes and puns that surely make every episode an enjoyable watch. Not to forget about the character development in this series. You can feel that the character matured and wiser as the story goes on. There is no sudden changes in character and you can understand why and how they turn out this way at last. Each character is unique and varied and has interesting story but still they did not over shadow Aang. They actually compliment each other. I'm also amaze with how well each nation fit the culture. It is well thought series! I mean look at how fire nation, earth kingdom, water tribe and air nomad suit the clothes they're wearing, their building structure, all are so unique and fit perfectly! I can't express how much i appreciate the beautiful art and idea that was portrayed in this series. It was one of the best childhood series that will always have special place in my heart. I hope everyone could watch this!",10 "Have been disappointed when watched those episodes 3,4,5 and totally lost my interest after 6 episode. Absolutely confusing, all episode i had a feeling that I have missed previous part, at one point even stoped and tried to watch episode 5, as I was confident that I missed it! Unfortunately I didn't ! I do have a great taste that suits everyone same as collection of the favourite movies and series. Actors that been chosen on 6 episode wasn't acting well, I know that they not bad actors but it is clearly filmed in a rush. Important points from episode 1 totally missed and have been forgotten. I don't think that you can Wright a book that based on a last 5 episodes.",2 "a comedy movie like all other Hindi comedy movies at that time.nothing special.a person's land is grabbed by a corrupt business man.he and his family members tries to get it back through some tricks and tactics.casting is not that bad, but after a specific time all of them failed to give a more natural performance.some overacting comedies and weak script makes the movie just an average one.anyway those who like these type of happy comedy movies, just try it.",5 I'm only 3 episodes in and loving it. I love that it's a reboot without being a copy . Anyone looking for a Nostalgic Rerun will be disappointed as it's not just a reboot it's a Re-imagination of the hole universe. Well done Netflix you have done a great job,8 Jens to the same thing you can you so much bro so many things in your company to represent me and the bell is the day is not is a great weekend or a day and night s the best and the same as last week is 9dmkdjdnnd skins of the same and let us know what is the day bro in your 8jjjsnsn and my family a lot to do with you so I can you bro jazakallah Khair kare to.,10 "This is not lost in space oh yes Hollywood said it is but it's not. The family names are the same, theres a robot but that's where the similarities end. If they called it Space Pyscho (alluding to the smith character) no one would have thought of lost in space at all. What's wrong? Bad writing - Water freezes from bottom to the top first episode yet Robinson family sitting around pond, no gloves not even cold but irs supposed to be minus 30 or something. PC - why is their a black daughter with a white family ? Yes I know it's politically correct so they must have one but WHY? Was it ever explained.? When I started to hear lines like ""let's spend some quality time together "" I nearly threw up. And it was about all their personal problems episode after episode after episode. Where was the humour from the original series? The interplay between Zachary Smith and the robot was quiet funny in the original but alas nowhere to be seen in this travesty of a remake. Overall very disappointing. Typical Hollywood remake garbage just please don't go anywhere near The Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants and Voyage to the bottom of the sea... I don't think I could stand it if they turn out like this rubbish.",2 "I'm genuinely impressed. Coerced by my teenage son to watch this, I reluctantly agreed despite the Adam Sandler red flag. I like comedies. I don't even mind fairly idiotic comedies if they have some kind of saving grace somewhere. But Adam Sandler comedies? Maybe if you're eight years old. But in this he's basically aggravating us in a whole new genre. Just to be clear, this isn't supposed to be a comedy. Although, ironically, the ending is pretty funny. Anyway that's a couple of hours of my life I'm never getting back.",2 "I gave this movie a 6 as some of the crash sequences were pretty awesome and unique. Apart from that, there were many flaws and reasons for annoyance in a movie with $150m budget. I'll just mention the disappearing/reappearing hat in the beginning chase scene. Just how is this overlooked?",6 "This is a well done movie, good acting, good scenario, lots of action, etc... But it is not an adaptation of some original book-based story, it's a brand new story using old characters.. In my opinion you can't just write a story about Sherlock Holmes, using all the books character's and not be compared to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Thats the reason i disliked so much of this movie. If the characters were renamed, this would be an excellent action movie telling the story of a detective and his good friend in a XIX century London, instead of a poor attempt to copy Conan Doyle's style. Of course, if the movie's name weren't Sherlock Holmes i wouldn't be much interested in watching it, but at least i wouldn't have left the theater thinking ""that was a big waste of time""... Call me annoying, nerd or whatever if you want, but this movie is not worthy the name of Sherlock Holmes. After all, Conan Doyle isn't a Sir by accident... And if you haven't read any of the original stories, give it a try..",2 "GRAVITY is fine if you just take it for what it is: A sci-fi thriller that is watchably compelling, with a number of twists and turnabouts, but without a lot of plot depth, character development, or any of that sort of thing. It has a few stretches and improbabilities, but it's awfully hard to make a film of this sort without some of those. Comparisons have been made with 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, but GRAVITY does not begin to hold the slightest nubbin of a candle to a classic of that stature. All the same, good performances by Bullock (Dr. Ryan Stone) and Clooney (""veteran astronaut"" Matt Kowalski), who are the only living characters we actually see here. Though the Earth below looks rather artificial, some nice use of gadgetry and special effects. I put off watching GRAVITY because it looked fairly predictable. It does, however, go in some unexpected directions. Yet, the story starts a bit too late: More on the nature of the shuttle mission and the relationships between Stone, Kowalski, and the rest of the crew before the disasters strike would have added something even if it would also have complicated things. Purely a matter of taste, but I think the middle portions would have benefited from more on the angst and strange thoughts that arise while trapped alone in space and less of the constant thriller-diller stuff we have here.",6 After so much hype I started to watch and then get bored after 3 episodes. Series is slow and boring. You won't get excited to watch next episode. Series is overrated.,2 "Unlike some of the other recent Marvel titles, this sequel clearly failed to deliver on the promise of the first in the series. Which is not unusual in the least, Hollywood sequels being almost always trash (but not necessarily so with Marvel sequels). Downey is back as the tired, flaky billionaire weapons magnate, only this time around tired really is tired. Paltrow and Cheadle are thrown supporting roles which use none of their considerable talents (the guy who had Cheadle's role in the original is actually better for the part). The whole production seems entirely uninspired, much of the movie is endless talk talk talk leading up to two techno-fight scenes. Which leads us to the other problem, the fight scenes when they do occur are so computer-generated they are almost impossible to follow (like in Transformers II, another movie which bears more than casual resemblance to this one). And the ""climatic"" fight is almost over before it begins, like nobody cared at the end of this. The stuffing of this movie is just sort of crammed meaninglessly together, including the SHIELD angle. I find Iron Man 2 so uninspired it's difficult to write an inspired review for it. As with Transformers 2 it was work getting my 5 year old to sit through it. Highly unrecommended. Post-script: Iron Man 3 was almost as good as this was bad, so skip this one and go directly to 3.",4 "Most of it was pretty mid. Oscar Isaac is great, Ethan Hawke is straight up bad. Some inconsistencies with the writing. Will update as the series goes along but so far it's nothing special.",6 "In the disguise of highlighting social inequality they just manage to show 2 extremes of society but in most cumbersome & blatant way. In fact the poor been shown as if to leach on the rich and live off (right from the title) no creativity or novelty in incidents or scenes. Characters are not at all introduced or given depth, everything is hurried throw. Climax is hotchpotch and forced upon. Much much over rated movie. Oscar ???",5 "Nothing happens for 2 hours and 30 minutes, then there is some fun action and the movie ends, honestly if you plan on seeing it just skip ahead to that time and save yourself the incredibly boring and not even worthy of a movie story that leads up to it. Everything in this movie was fine, the only problem is that there is just nothing interesting going on for 99% of the entire film.",3 I'm the only perso. On earth or only person. I know who didn't like this or thought it was great. I'm not sur e why everybody loves it but it was to flat for me.,6 "There are very good lessons in this show across many areas, if you can't spot them for your personal benefits then your loss. Sit in that same spot of yours. The show is this, is that is all nonsense. You can't expect all shows to be more science fiction, fantasy, magic and the likes. Sometimes it will touch on aspects of society that affect people and their emotions even for superhero movies. The whole concept of a superhero is to empower individuals and their communities. It's a not a perfect show like all shows and movies but it's definitely not a 1-6 star show.",8 "I was really looking forward to seeing this movie but what a disappointment. The plot is unsure of itself, the acting adequate but not great, and the Philadelphia Eagles angle is poorly executed. We meet Pat right off the bat when his mother shows up at the mental hospital to take him home, where we then meet his father (Robert DeNiro). Within ten minutes their characters are easily discernible-- mom is the peacemaker; dad is OCD, a huge Eagles fan, and prone to get in a fight or two. Pat is bi-polar, refuses to take any medication, and is living in a constant state of anxiety. The mental illness at the heart of the first half of the film disappears about the time Pat agrees to take medication, at which point it becomes a romance. (supposedly it's a comedy too, but until the closing scenes there was little that was laugh-worthy). Pat begins a relationship(refreshingly chaste) with Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), agreeing to be her dance partner in an upcoming competition in exchange for her doing him a favor regarding his ex-wife. The second half of the movie is dominated by a combination of Eagles football, which Pat's father worships, and the growing friendship between Pat and Tiffany. Unfortunately, none of the Eagles drama rings true if you live in the Philly area, as I do. Philadelphians have a distinct accent which goes undetected in DeNiro's portrayal. Sadly the schizophrenic plot, the stilted and rough execution of lines, and the lack of a genuine Philly feel outweigh the the satisfactory ending. Overall, this film was not horrible, but not very good either. I can only guess that the Academy smiled upon Silver Linings Playbook because of the mental health angle. Wish that had been more fully explored within the context of the second half of the film. The 'R' rating is for a conversation in the diner between Pat and Tiffany regarding a sexual experience she had, for partial nudity in a flashback scene, and for numerous uses of the f-word.",5 I was shocked at the level and the idea of this movie it's remind me about childhood movie night superhero movie it is not belong to the DC universe.,5 "If you watch the first episode and aren't into it, give number two a try, because I almost gave up on the series. As it turned out, I was interested enough to see it through to find out where things ended up, but reflecting back on it now, I don't think I would watch it again. I'm not a fan of the timeline stuff; I was more interested in the subplot with Silvie. I am glad I saw it in case I need to know what's going on in the next movies, but that's about it. How I feel about this series years from now will probably depend on what they do with the character after this. Will his character development mean anything this time?",6 "I first saw Avatar during the middle of the 3rd book in 2008, and I had no idea what was going on. Gradually, I got into it, so much that I skipped dinner to watch Sozin's Comet. What makes the series so enjoyable....where do you begin? It has a complex plot line that builds. The characters' personalities are very developed, and you can believe they are real people, who grow and change like we do. The animation is beautiful. And on top of all that, the show is funny, too! It appeals to just about everyone (even my mom!). It has lots of kung-fu type action, romantic subplots, and it is a very good fantasy series overall. I give this a 10 out of 10, and would recommend it to anyone.",10 "They really don't make movies the way they use to. Movies today particularly Maverick have lost the intimacy with the audience. Whenever something sad or poignant happens it feels empty. The audience doesn't give a crap cause there was no time spent building that intimacy in the movie. Just glossing over old photos and showing a couple flashback scenes didn't have any impact. Again the movie felt hollow and empty all the way through. The originally had that magic , Maverick didn't have any of it .",3 "Clearly the best film of 1996 ""Fargo"" is a beautiful ""true"" story about greed and falsehood. This great Coen Brothers masterpiece is a movie that everybody should see and it's placement here on the IMDB 250 list(as #46) only shows how popular it really is. One of the greatest movies ever made.",10 "One thing that became clear in reviews I read was that this film was disjointed, lacking a consistent tone. Nevertheless I went to see Venom because I like the other films Tom Hardy has been in. Unfortunately, the frenetic feel of the film for the most part is due to Hardy's performance. His behaviour is jerky, impulsive. I think if the tone of his character was more pensive, showing a bit more of a sound mind, he would be more relatable. I suppose when someone is on the skids it is hard to look and act stable. My feeling in general about the story was that it was trying to juggle too many balls at once. Ball One: Breaking up with his fiance. Ball Two: Being fired because of a controversial CEO. Ball Three: Dealing with another entity living in his body. Ball Four: Following a lead on a big story involving that vindictive CEO. Ball Five: Dealing with attempts at treatment with Ex-Girlfriend's new doctor boyfriend. Ball Six: Trying to find a new job. There is also the tired Marvel template of some over-the-top villain who always wants to take over the world. Must they always be trying to take over the world? How about just cornering the market on some new miracle drug (with nasty side effects)? Also present in every Marvel film are action set pieces, usually timed to go off every ten minutes or so. You get a mixed bag of the quality of the effects. The were moments, such as when a person was flung through the air, that didn't feel right. The effect of gravity during some CGI shots don't feel quite right. Saying that, SFO is always a fun playground for big action scenes, and this movie does fine with that. Riz Ahmed plays the big bad CEO, something that now has become generic in superhero movies (Zuckerberg in Batman vs. Superman for example). He partakes in illegal activity, and enjoys immunity from prosecution because of his power of being rich. I found nothing either outstanding or lacking in his one note performance. I blame the script more than him. For the most part the film tries to take a serious tone, however the entity living in Hardy's body is presented with humor. This is one of the more fatal errors of the film. With a dysfunctional tone to begin with, adding humor works against all the serious stuff. There is a scene that feels like it is out a kid's disney film, where Hardy is forced to misbehave in a fancy restaurant. Playing for slapstick humor in this sophisticated script does not work. With that being said, this movie certainly could have been worse. I would say it is about par for the Sony superhero outings. They deliver the goods to a certain degree, but lack the correct tone that Marvel has perfected. Their attempts at Fantastic Four are a good example. I don't regret seeing this in the theater. Timing of the release is one key factor. The post summer 2018 release schedule has been lacking any good action films.",5 "A few powerfully dramatic moments, some gifted acting by most but not all, a bizarre subplot which featured anachronistically humorous dialog, all seasoned by an odd and equally anachronistic soundtrack that detracted far more than it added. All together noteworthy and quirky, but far from all the IMDb 10's that will encourage many to see it.",4 "The perfect reaction is Elaine when she went to watch The English Patient lol. It's literally giving anyone a pile of money Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio and telling them to make a movie.... The story is so juvenile, with Charles Manson randomly thrown in.... 3 hours of Leonardo DiCaprio crying.... Al Pacino cameo completely forgotten, just rubbish drivel.... Literally it's a showcase of the actors skills where you can write dog barf and somehow still have them perform at such a high level.",5 "I came out with slight disappointment after watching DKR for I had huge expectations from Nolan after an exceptional TDK. I am huge fan of first two installment of Batman Trilogy. I liked DKR, it's a good movie, but it could have been much better. So rather than discussing its merit, which are many, I am pointing out its shortcomings. It's the weaker than other movies of trilogy and simple reason being it lacks strong characters. DKR is all about storytelling, just like Nolan's Inception, but not as efficient. And in doing so, it fails where Batman Begins and The Dark Knight had succeeded. Batman Begins was all about fear, doubt, self-realization and redemption where Bruce Wayne discovers his destiny as Batman. BB had a story arc which set background for main characters - Batman / Wayne, Ra's al Ghul, Gordon (to some extent) and most importantly Gothom City and hence set stage for a fitting climax. The Dark Knight explores the theme of chaos, morality and belief effortlessly and establishes characters of Joker, Harvey Dent/Two Face, Rachel etc. So effortlessly that people choose to ignore even some major plot holes. Heath Ledger's interpretation of Joker was so mesmerizing that it single handily carried TDK to path of greatness/ critical acclaim. But Dark Knight Rises is all about story telling - efficient but not exceptional. Bane, Miranda Tate, John Blake, Peter Folly (Deputy Commissioner), Selina Kyle - characters are introduced but never explored/ expanded - they just start working on their part - just like cogs in the wheel. They are not so much part of the story itself but just the agents which move the story forward. Bane's character is dull and single dimensional and do not evoke any fear or awe. He's meticulous, intelligent and strong and this is established quickly in movie but after that he slumps into a just another movie villain. Taila / Miranda character is never fully explored. Even Wayne/Batman is devoid of any emotions in this one and he feels so sure of himself that I start wondering if it's the same Batman that I saw in first two installments. Only new character which had some shades was that of Selina Kyle and Anne Hathaway did justice to it. Add to that helplessness of Alfred portrayed superbly by Caine. Other actors are good but there's not much for them to do. There's no dilemma, choices, moral battles, hope, chaos or fear - things that make characters and plot interesting and which made Batman Begins and The Dark Knight really good movies. Even the theme of ""Occupy WallStreet"" is very weak and, at best, is closer to London riots with its looting and arson. There's even perfect order in Bane's revolution. Movie moves effortlessly from one plot to another and to climax that it become at times predictable. But maybe Dark Knight Rises was supposed to be like that only and Nolan had too much to deal with in 2.5 hours. And maybe that's the main problem with DKR - too much is going on in the story that it seems crammed at times. And when there are too many characters and so many story arcs, it's tough to do justice to characters and story telling at the same time. Dark Knight Rises have a good story but lacks strong characters and relies on Inception's style which incidentally differs from style of first two installments of Batman Trilogy. And for me, soul of Nolan's Batman Series is its strong characters, their underlying emotions and a theme which is much deeper and meaningful than all fight, gadgetry and style. And this is where DKR fails. 6/10.",6 "Why did IMDB delete my original review? I didn't not use profanity at all. It was actually very funny.

Thanks to Sadie Sink (Max), Mozzarella (Dustin) Joe Keery (Steve) I managed to watch the series to its completion.

Tried really hard to like it and feel that the storyline is dark and mysterious but realised it's just a chaos and in order to try to make it catchy and audience guessing everything, they made the audience lose interest. Disappointed. Kudos to Robert Sheehan for his acting.",2 "To explain my daring title - I'd like this review to be a counterbalance to many over-enthusiast appraisals. Yes, it is a good action/drama. Yes, it is a spectacular science-fiction film. Every genre fan's dream: travelling among different worlds (though, try to watch Europa report!), bending the laws of ""common sense"" newtonian physics and playing with blackholes and wormholes (the space-bending explanation is just a shameless ""borrowing"" from much older Event Horizon). Though, this movie betrays the ""common sense"" in yet another way. its plot. ""We have destroyed this Earth, let's find another one."" Irresponsibility, anyone? while we may argue - if this is not a premise of every beloved pot-apocalyptic distopia, if ""space travel"" is not what we want from science-fiction at the end of the day ... this movie dared to start with really hot topic, so boldly that it should be judged by its own ""higher standards"". So we have an ecosystem collapse in the beginning - It is quite obvious that the reason of it are monocultures stretching towards the horizon - a direct consequence of machist, industrial, technocratic approach to science, progress, planet, life, agriculture, thinking... The root cause is so clearly visible in every picture frame of the down-on-Earth part of the movie - but the only ""solution"" offered by the writer(s) is again the technocratic one: ""Let's build super complex machines to transport us zillion light years away"" ... instead of simple (!) cheap (!!) responsible (!!!) fixing of the darned monoculture issue down on our original planet. While many claim that this movie is sophisticated if not even intellectual - it is not - it is actually offensive to the intellect. There might be many of the-good-old space travel operas, whom I would forgive this and spare them the ""common sense"" critique. But not Interstellar - because it pretends that it is ""aware"", ""eco-conscious"", it pretends that it urges us to think about our relationship towards the planet, but it fails exactly in this point. Thinking. Watch Avatar and Home instead.",6 "Outstanding! The fact that the critics haven't given this an even higher rating just proves to me that the critics have mush for brains. Watching a string of substandard Hindi movies does that, I guess. For too long, we have had formula movies parroting the same old junk. The current wave of realism in Hindi cinema brings to mind the ""middle path"" in Malayalam cinema, 1980s cinema which struck a happy balance between realism and entertainment. All performances are outstanding. The thing is, it could all really happen......the BIMARU belt comes to mind.....and that is the sad part of it all, and yet the fact that a filmmaker could find a way to mock those who live like this in modern day India is heartening! After all, someone must proclaim that the emperor has no clothes!",10 "The title says it all, ""superbad"". I rented this movie thinking it would be the greatest comedy of the year like everyone said. Boy was everyone wrong! I'll admit there were a few funny parts (few and far between) but overall this movie brings nothing new to the table (as in laughs or storyline). It would best be described as ""american pie"" meets ""super troopers"" (I consider that bad, but I'm sure there are those out there that love those movies). There is way too many homosexual jokes and undertones with the lead characters (and pretty much every male on screen). Now don't get me wrong, I think gay jokes can be hilarious but not every 5 minutes like in this movie. Is the only thing funny the writers could come up with was cheap obvious jokes? The language is just too much as well. Again I like swearing but that fat kid tries way too hard to sound like Vince Vaughn. Its not funny and is really sad. Maybe if you are a 16 year old virgin you would love this film. And In case you might think I'm too old to get this film, I'm only 26. I just don't get why people raved about this movie yet a much smarter and funnier comedy like ""the ex"" goes completely under the radar (not that I like Zach Braff's other work but ""the ex"" is quite funny with a great cast). Superbad's trailer pretty much shows you the funny parts and its all downhill from there. The only reason to see this movie is to tell everyone you know, that raved about it, that this movie is just plain bad.",1 """Good Omens"" Season 1 faithfully adapted Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's bestselling novel, ""Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch,"" centered around preventing the Apocalypse. This was intended as the story's conclusion. Viewers familiar with Season One will anticipate the tone of ""Good Omens 2,"" while newcomers will uncover a whimsical, fantasy-infused puzzle. An angel and a demon unite to foil heaven and hell's schemes. What's intriguing is how Tennant and Sheen's characters, despite their celestial origins, dwell in a nuanced space. Crowley isn't wholly wicked; he bends rules for his gain. And although Aziraphale fell from grace, he grasps that divine wisdom isn't always absolute, requiring a balance. Their shared history leads them to side with humans, safeguarding them, nurturing bonds, and aiding growth. In the initial episode, titled ""A Companion to Owls,"" we journey 5,000 years back, observing Crowley's mission to confront Job, God's favored human. Meanwhile, Aziraphale discovers a troubling bet between Heaven and Hell that could lead to Job's endless suffering. In ""The Resurrectionists,"" a later episode set in 1827 Edinburgh, Crowley and Aziraphale encounter Elspeth, a woman involved in unsettling work-grave robbing. As for the third mini-episode, set during the 1940s Blitz in England, our beloved duo gets involved in a magic show, only to face Nazi zombies keen on capturing them. Among these three mini-episodes, the standout is the one centered on Job's predicament. The other two are lighter in impact, placing Crowley and Aziraphale in uninspiring and somewhat bleak situations. With five out of six episodes reviewed, this collection serves as a glimpse into potential future adventures should the series make a return. It's challenging to envision ""Good Omens"" enthusiasts finding disappointment in the fresh escapades of the beloved angel and demon. The series maintains its trademark quirkiness and odd occurrences that contributed to its initial triumph. Tennant and Sheen remain the highlight, as their authentic connection and pure affection for each other make for one of TV's most genuine relationships. Their infectious chemistry compensates for some reservations about this season's central plot. With everyone having a blast, it's hard to be overly critical.",8 "Every minutes some sort of crisis occurs, that will be solved in the next 20 minutes. The most annoying part are not only the unrealistic characters, the worst thing is actually the brutal score, which is never silent and obviously wants to to tell all the viewers, how the situation has to be judged. It's sort of offending, because everybody with a sane mind can hear a""mad"" in every 10 seconds. Not even worth pirating.",1 "In probably the highest rated Michael Bay film I've reviewed AND recommended, I HATED how it was filmed. This seizure-inducing, McG-type film on steroids with more CGI than two Avenger movies felt like an entire 12-episode TV season of an A-Team knockoff on 10x to fit within 2-hours. Mercifully, it had humor. And yet, I liked it. Could I watch a sequel? Probably not. My sensory overload and headache need a little recovery. A specialty misfit team of numbered individuals are banded together by a smart-smart aleck billionaire to hunt evil when no government will, or can't, due to red tape. After about 3-4 episodes of the aforementioned fake TV series in the first 15 minutes, the plot kicks in of overturning a ruthless dictator and the team tries to work together with each other's strengths and weaknesses. Despite an annoying and maddening amount of CGI scenes so overlapping in the car chase opening, I was still intrigued enough to continue. Luckily, I didn't know this was Bay directing, or I might not have made it to the finish, but, regardless, I'm glad I did. Number One (Ryan Reynolds) was the plot's glue, grounding and absolute source of laugh-out-loud humor. Ben Hardy's (""Number Four"") amazing parkour and looks helped me long. And the remaining Numbers, while bland as all Hades, did their parts to round out the team. Again, I'm not up for the inevitable sequel, but if they'll hire a competent director and slow it down a bit, I'd love to see where they take these characters. Otherwise, this was ONE and DONE 4 me. *** Final thoughts: WARNING: Forget strobe lights; this entire movie was an epileptic seizure waiting to happen. If you're remotely sensitive or prone, AVOID this movie at all costs. Or watch it and sue Netflix. Cut me in, if you do. I could use even a fraction of the dough Netflix has.",6 This is Scarface on Wall Street without the guns and unfortunately that's about the only way it's comparable .,5 "Red Sparrow is a solid movie from beginning to the end. Don't listen to the hate and folks saying it's not good. There was never a dull moment in the movie. It made me sit on the edge of the seat through out the 2 hours. Since it's a spy thriller movie, I don't wanna ruin the surprise or give away too much by explaining the story. But if I, who's a mega watcher of all genres of movies, was unable to guess the next twist or who is the mole, I doubt you will. The climax is especially good. If you're a fan of the spy genre, you'll absolutely love it. Just watch it, you'll thank me. -Honest Critic.",8 Turgistan is a completely fictional country that does NOT exist in the current world.,2 "This film was an extreme disappointment for me. I admire the special effects, those were amazing. Everything else was garbage. The story is based on science, but it breaks so many physics it hurts my eyes. In the end it appears it's about ""love"" and not science at all. Cinematic experience some say, oscar bait I say.",1 "After about two years waiting since Tim Burton was involved in a stop motion film about the Addams family and then canceled and given a series by netflix based on the character Wednesday Addams Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, i was really disappointed. The show maybe succeeded in touching the teenagers but failed with the generation that loved the Addams family since MGM lunched the series in 1991. Tim Burton has nothing new to show or tell, the show is full of Burton's cliché from the opening scene with the fat boy with an apple in his mouth to the costume and makeup of Wednesday even to the grading of the image. The performance is awsome and the cast is the strongest link in this show Jenna Ortega and Gwendoline Christie are amazing together. Even the guests are chosen to push up the series: Luis Gùzman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, William Houston and others... The second Ace in the show is the Great composition of Danny Elfman, the music takes you to another dimension when you feel like you are sitting in theatre not on your couch, very cinematic, emotional. I can describe the music as a main character in the series.",6 "Recommended for: Fans of Game of Thrones and The Legend of the Seeker Summary: The Witcher follows the adventures of Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill from from Man of Steel), a witcher (mutated monster hunter) as he follows his moral compass and makes a living in a cruel, magical and medieval time. The story also centers on Yennefer (Anya Chalotra), a young mage seeking a purpose in life, and Cirilla (Freya Allan), a young and powerful princess seeking salvation from war. Review: Although I have not read the books, I have played the video games for this storyworld. I found myself surprisingly impressed with how well Henry Cavill was able to capture the essence (and voice) of Geralt of Rivia. Verdict: Not just a pretty face in this piece. Honestly, I was impressed with the whole piece. The eight hour-long episodes had me craving more each time (I was only kept from binging the whole thing in one sitting by my family who wanted to watch it to). We get to see the beginnings the main characters before they become the people we know and adore from other media. The action and magic were well done (although the CGI sometimes lacked compared to larger-budget works of similar natures). Is it perfect? Definitely not. In fact, it took way too long to realize that the 3 storylines (Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri) we were watching were in fact taking place at different timespans rather than simultaneously before they converge together in the last episode. Hopefully, now that you know this, I will be sparing you from any confusion as you go forth. Besides the obvious plot points that need addressing, I hope the second season shows how feisty Roach (Geralt's horse) is and that we get plenty more ballads from out talkative nilly Jaskier the bard. That's right, this series has already been greenlit for a second season. I definitely recommend this action-packed epic to anyone with an interest in the story. Be wary, however, for visuals of consensual intercourse and nudity, mentions of rape, violence and death, and self-harm. But essentially, if you were able to make it through Game of Thrones you will be MORE than fine to watch this show. Hmmm... so maybe just adults. Watch and recommend at your own discretion. Notable Quotes: ""Toss a coin to your Witcher"" - Jaskier ""If I'm to choose between one evil and another, I'd rather not choose at all."" - Geralt",9 "Why not focus on making a good series that concludes on a high and leaves the viewer wanting more instead of dragging it on until every last dollar can be squeezed out while the viewers gradually leave in boredom and disgust? Season 1 was brilliant. 9/10. Season 2 was watchable. 6/10. Season 3 was as engaging as watching a dead horse being flogged. I watched it hoping it would come to life, but it never did. 3/10. Not only that, but there were some truly cringeworthy moments the Dusty and Suzie duet being right there at the top. If they'd panned a shot to the Mindflayer we would've probably seen it cringeing as well. Needless to say I won't be watching Season 4.",6 "If you're looking for an uncomplicated and funny movie, Superbad does the job. The characters are witty and the dialogue is sometimes hilarious. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera both performs decently as the main characters Seth and Evan. Personally I think the two police officers, played by Bill Hader and Seth Rogen, were priceless, and performed far better. The first half of the movie is actually quite good comedy. You are taken along on a ride alongside three high school losers that are willing to go to great lengths to score with the girls, and get involved in several messed up situations. The second half of the movie is unfortunately terrible. The movie turns into an American Pie clone with the stereotype brainless girls that are ready to get down on the first loser they pass along the way. The second half is also packed with scenes that are painful to watch, due to both the awkward settings, the awkward acting, and the awkward script. Despite a promising start, the movie ends up like a standard highschool comedy that you've seen many times before. And finally: why do they insist on using 25 year olds to play high school kids? It's so incredibly lame.",5 "I had heard about this movie when it came out in the theatres, but knowing fully well that will never get a theatrical release here in India i kind of forgot about it. Then I came across the DVD and since it was a name i recognised i got it. I didn't expect much really other than standard Jude Appatow/Steve Carrel humour mixed with some standard teen comedy. What I've noticed with Jude is that he always evokes confused feelings, one side you will have pretty accurate description of how people look, feel and behave and at the same time you will have over the top and slapstick characters. The same movie will have thought provoking moments as well have moments that are so over the top, that they annoy. Well in this case its mixed with the teen movie formula, there's always the fat guy, the super nerd, the guy who's a semi-nerd but is actually going to become cool (most of whom are virgins), underage drinking, YOU KNOW THE DRILL. What Jude does is add a slight twist to the genre, which is sometime satirical, sometimes slapstick, sometimes just plain funny, and at others just plain irritating or boring. The acting is fine from the entire cast, especially good is Mintz as Mclovin, even the girls who are unfortunately not that hot have done a fine job (another example of accurate representation no 25-35 yr old hotties playing teens here). The background score was ordinary enough to be missed. Direction, cinematography etc don't really matter that much with such subject matter and was pretty standard. The humour was subtle sometimes and over the top on many others, the abusive language had novelty value in ""40 year old"" but has completely lost its charm here, the one liners are OK,ITS MUCH MORE ABOUT THE WHOLE DIALOGUE HERE THAN ONE LINERS. There are some really good scenes like the liquor store, and the entire Mclovin Cops saga, but there were many ordinary scenes like the gangs, and couple of the ending sequences. THE MOVIE DOES FEEL KIND OF SPACED OUT MUCH LIKE KEVIN SMITH'S MOVIES, In fact SOMETIMES I GET THE FEELING THAT I AM INDEED WATCHING A KEVIN SMITH FILM. Which bring us the MOST IMPORTANT PART EXPECTATIONS, I really didn't know that this movie was once in the ""Top 250"", if had watched this movie with those expectations needless to say i would have been very disappointed, i watched it expecting merely good hence i enjoyed this movie, I'm sure PEOPLE OTHER THAN FANS WILL REALLY BE DISAPPOINTED IF THEY WATCH WITH VERY HIGH EXPECTATIONS. Fans and people who like such humour as shown by Steve Carell, Jude, Kevin Smith, will really like this movie others may enjoy it if they don't expect too much,THOSE THAT LIKE STANDARD AND SIMPLE COMIC FARE (like me) HAVE A VERY HIGH CHANCE OF BEING DISAPPOINTED (luckily i wasn't).Im not that sure girls will like this movie either. Watch with due considerations. -s some really annoying/gross/boring scenes, weak stereotypical end, NO REALLY BIG FUNNY SCENE. +/-s humour gets a bit spaced out sometimes,not exactly short in length. +s the entire Mclovin Cops sequence, good acting, SOME REALLY GOOD DIALOGUES. total 7/10 ( but thats only because i didn't expect much and it met my expectations, i wont lie that I'm tempted to be dishonest and put a low rating just to pull down the overall ratings, I CAN ENJOY THIS HUMOUR FOR A CHANGE ONCE IN A WHILE BUT GIVE ME SIMPLE HUMOUR ANYDAY).",7 I cant expalin in my words that how i am happy after watching this masterpeice of bollywood,10 "If you're someone who enjoys movies made by Tim Burton, which are heavier on atmosphere and visuals than actual story, this movie is for you. If your someone who enjoys a good story with good acting and writing, than don't even bother watching this. This movie is mediocre to the last degree. The acting is extraordinarily bad, and the writing is bland. This is an extremely overrated motion picture using great visuals and picture to make money, a sad example of what's happened to film, it's no longer to entertain, but it seems it's more of a contest of who can make more money. Do not watch.",3 "In the opening bit the girls says that ""after 2500 of being ruled by kings, Iranians elected Mossadegh..."" Yes true, the great Mossadegh was democratically elected by the people. But the fact that they mention 2500 years of being ruled by kings, means that we had seen 2500 years of tyranny. Which is far from the truth. The Shah himself and his father whom had gotten deposed by the same Americans and Englishmen years earlier, only tried to modernize Iran. Mossadegh was of course better, but the Pahlavis both loved Iran and tried to make it a better place. What really happened was that the Shah himself turned on the people that had helped him come to power, aka the Americans and the British. Thus became an enemy to them, so they got rid of him the same way they got rid of Mossadegh. This movie at best tries to demonize the Iranian/Persian nation as a whole, for having 2500 years of tyranny or whatever they want to call it. That's amusing calling Persia a tyranny when we had human rights coming from the founder of the Persian empire, when you had hundreds of thousands of slaves in your so called cradle of civilization, aka Greece. Not to mention the slave history of your own nation, America.",1 "I am somewhat a fan of Scorsese's work. And not surprised at the hype many of these commenters heap on this movie. Have to agree with several others that DeNiro 's delivery was plodding and tortured., Pacino's role was quite overdone, with his carrying-on about language, and the outrageous yelling spasms. Pesci was Pesci. Very dull story; women smokers were a highlight to watch. What purports to be an epic film, all about a hit man, seems a bridge too far. for me. My 5 rating now seems to be too charitable for this dross film.",5 "Played the game (Witcher 3), loved it. When I heard Netflix was making a Witcher TV series I was a bit apprehensive. I ended up binge watching it and wanting for more. 8 episodes is too short!!",9 "I rewatch this series all the time but I always skip that lata season (Netflix produced season) it feels cringey and like, if all actors were threatened to do it lol.",9 "I am truly shocked by how much I liked this movie. I'd heard all the hype but thought I would hate it. I was never a Barbie girl and was often in trouble as a child for abusing my sister's and cousins' dolls but this movie! Very funny (and touching) and SO beautiful. The cast is perfect, the set designs are phenomenal and, from start to finish, everything is very well thought out. I took a star off because I thought the dream ballet was a bit much but even that made sense after I listened to the extras on the disc and heard the director tell why she included the sequence. The movie is not a children's movie and now I understand why so many adults have gone to see it.",9 "I used to want to think i could just look at sherlock as what it is...a per episode thing...and i have reviewed a few episodes... sherlock is only good for one episode...the first...it's all downhill from there...that first episode sums up the entire show...shock-value intrigue needlessly over-complicated okay dialogue great acting unconvincing storylines captivating storytelling mind-boggling plots...it's a mix of all the extremes... if only this show was just a little tame...it's not...it's over-animated over-the-top extreme....and it doesn't pay off...it feels cheap in the end...trying to hard...it ruins everything... it's a pretty good show...maybe just takes itself a little too seriously...and it gets repetitive...no surprise there its a detective show in the end anyway... this is probably the very first time a show has tried to be clever and come off as extremely stupid...the antagonist is the single worst character ever written...at some point in the show i just CAN'T keep watching...",6 "Bigelow attempts to weave an intense character study of interconnected parts during the Iraqi War in The Hurt Locker, but fails completely. In a well-made film technically, every aspect fails to come together to complete a whole. What ends up being produced is a visual masterpiece of well set up nothingness. It's a movie about nothing, but in a bad way, unlike The Big Lebowski (1998). This is an adrenaline junkie's movie about an adrenaline junkie in war. Each war scene seems like another way to get the adrenaline pumping and the thrills going. While the first two or three are well-made and set up the rest of the film, the viewer becomes tired of the redundant scenarios and the movie accomplishes nothing. In essence, there is a thematic quote displayed across the screen to open the film, ""The rush of battle is often a potent and lethal addiction, for war is a drug,"" – and the movie takes two hours to simply say that ""war is a drug."" Two hours could have been saved for a film of more artistic value than this one by simply showing us that quote for ten seconds. Renner's performance is limited to the bounds of the film. He is fantastic in his role, but the role is nothing special. The supporting actors of his team, Mackie and Geraghty, shine in their sole scenes, but can do nothing but fade away when Renner is in the limelight – again thanks to the frame of the film as an action-filled fiasco. In the end, we have discombobulation. A spattering of scenes stitched together in similar scenarios to deliver a message. The message is delivered well with an apt vehicle. Yet there is no provided depth. What Bigelow tries to add with scenes of empathetic importance, fails to come across. Thus, the supermarket scenes depicting the normal life of Staff Sergeant William James, Renner's character, were more involving and engaging. The character fits with more context into the supermarket than the battlefield. This movie fits with more context in a locker rather than on the screen.",3 "This film is 3 hours long and nothing of interest happens until the penultimate scene. But it's a handjob for Hollywood in movie form so look for it to finally land Tarentino an Oscar.",3 "Myself, I gave up at episode 6. My HBO subscription ran out and don't find this show appealing enough to continue for another month. After saying that, I do think it's a pretty decent show. It's got a ton of money thrown at it, so it looks great, and Pedro is, as always, a great actor. The girl, although is another matter. She jokes around the whole time and takes nothing serious. It's like she's in a comedy and not in a horror show. Two other things bug me about the show. One, it's not scary at all. Two, in Episode 5 we got a new mutant fungi zombie that was very ""Boss Battle"" video game like. It just ruined any type of post-apocalyptical fantasy I was living in and immediately threw me into a video game. I was a big fan of The Walking Dead early seasons, and it was scary, and it dealt with character development (which is almost completely missing from this show), so the fancy special effects and big sets are not going to do it for me. Or maybe I'm just burned out on the zombie apocalypse genre. Still, not bad, just not great. 6/10.",6 "Venom was by no means an exceptional movie, but it was better than Let There Be Carnage. Overall, was disappointed by the length of the movie, it really wasn't enough. As such, the story was weak, with poor writing in my opinion. Music choices in the film didn't feel right either for some reason. The film felt very rushed, in terms of portraying the story and quite frankly the strings pulling the story together were in tethers. Would not go to see this film again, would not buy it to own at home. Very disappointed and wouldn't be interested in going to see it again. Only thing that made up for the film and allowed me to give it a four star was some of the action. Other than that, terrible.",4 "This was rather bad. The entire premise was just really bad. I really can't get into it. It's weird, and not like any superhero movie I've seen. It's more proof Hollywood has run out of original ideas and fell victim to the PC police. Not to mention the innuendos weren't very subtle.",2 "As I said, looks great...but otherwise a mish mash of elements of the first movie (""hysterical"" inability to connect to an animal, an overly patriotic American marine who's annoying beyond belief) These added something to the original, this just seems to be a re-hash of the script because Cameron learnt CGI was good with water in 2022. It's a shame, because it had potential, but the annoying marine was killed...bringing him back as a Navi was just lazy, he's not the only person from the only country that wants to find a new planet and conquer it, he's a terrible 'baddie' as are the kids from the water tribe, yeah OK social commentary about tolerance and all, but it was all so obvious. It's also far, far, far too long!",4 "This definitely holds it's own. Sure is has a little of VD, TB, and Twilight mixed together, maybe even a little Grimm. But it also has it's own story, great cast and an original plot. So far, very addictive. I wish I could binge watch it now, instead of waiting for every week to see a new episode. All in all, I like it. Only on Ep 3, so we will see how it progresses, but it's heading in the right direction so far. Will review again at the end of the season. Definitely give it a watch, you wont be disappointed. Very entertaining. P.s - If there are any bad reviews from users or critics, please ignore as they are way to picky and look to dissect every dialog, word, actor, action, and anything else that would help them give it less stars then it should have.",8 "2008 is full of a lot of solid comedies and this is a perfect example. Jason Segel is at his most endearing and creative here. Russell Brand is flat out hilarious and the rest of the supporting cast is full of great comedy actors. The story is heartfelt and puts some cool spins on classic tropes. This is just a fun, enjoyable comedy that created many stars.",8 "Annabelle Comes Home is a surprisingly, scarier and a funnier movie. The Best Annabelle Movie in the Conjuring Universe.",7 "If you know the world from the books or the games you will enjoy this show. If you do not know the Witcher world at all, it is probably easy to get completely lost. This is not helped by a confusing timeline. The acting and writing were very questionable at times. The show is missing context in many situations and for the world in general. Over all I enjoyed it for giving backstory to a game I love and am hopeful for the second season.",7 "The original Iron Man is obviously a hard act to follow; but surprisingly Iron Man 2, just about pulls it off! It revolves around the star ego of Tony Stark, playboy millionaire by day, action hero by night; although this time around he is no longer prone to hiding his identity because he revealed it to the public. This sparks controversy, shocks and outcry through the US government. The acting is superb, Whiplash is very intriguing, when he is actually in it; mostly revolving around his real identity- Ivan Vanko. Robert Downey Jr also delivers a stellar performance as Stark, who's device is not only saving him but killing him also. The special effects are amazing whether it is chopping race-cars in two or Iron Man fighting corrupted robots next to war machine, it is sure to be one of the best visually of the year Overall, you're in for one hell of a ride, i would give it a seven and a half but it is closer to an eight.",8 "I must say from the outset that I found this film very disappointing indeed. The premise is ludicrous: cleaning lady at a top secret government research centre (at some time/place in the Cold War) discovers (and falls in love with) a creature that is half-man and half sea creature (in a very unconvincing costume), with little explanation of where it came from or what was the purpose of the research. For a film that clocks in at just over 2 hours there is little to keep you engaged for that length of time (as any film worth its salt over the 100-minute mark should). Having said that the story/plot just seems to go nowhere, and none of the main characters are interesting enough to hook you in and care about them. Also as has been mentioned in other reviews, the diversity of characters seems to be little more than a box ticking exercise. How this fish out of water won the Oscar for best picture & director (amongst others) will remain an eternal mystery. (One can only assume that the Academy has finally lost the plot as to what a top notch film actually is.)",4 "I will be the first to admit that I have never been entirely into the act of boxing. There's something about investing so much in two fighters, both emotionally and monetarily, given most fights are hefty Pay-Per-View matches or require a hefty premium channel. My interests seem entirely disconnected in picking a corner and praying this two piece game of chess ends in my favor of one battered and bruised being hitting the floor before the other. Outside of the millions made from entering the ring, why are these two putting gloves to flesh, blood to mat? Is there a deep context to this fight that consists of boiling blood laying so much on the line? I suppose I'm the wrong kind of person to yell and jeer over timed left hooks and right jabs, inflated egos and arrogant taunts. That's why I feel Southpaw works; it showcases the tightly shot act of boxing as well as the grandiose spectacle and grounded story behind the fighters with characters we are allowed to find hope in, even if we can't entirely relate. Since boxing is a sport centered on spectacle and athleticism, it makes sense for a director like Antoine Fuqua to take the reigns, given his tendency to ask why rather than simply say because. From films like Training Day and The Equalizer, Fuqua tends to place a moral compass into the center of his spectacles, for better or worse, directing a typical crime-drama or shooter that opts to mix it up and fight southpaw. It's with this stance that we're offered an investment in the blood-shed, from south-central LA showdowns and hardware store confrontations to Billy Hope (Jake Gyllenhaal) fighting for more than a dollar. Showing us the rise and fall of Hope, we are put through a training regimen of tropes and sports clichés that jar and obscure its tonal shifts, giving us a film that feels torn between a desire to be in a heavier weight class. Southpaw places elegantly hushed jabs reminiscent of Ron Howard's Cinderella Man before exploding with a disruptive hook that careens our interest and focus away from the intimacy, falling hard into the worn genre it's working with. Forest Whitaker gives a poised performance as Hope's apprehensive trainer Tick Wills, who is either a chronic liar with a dark past or an alcoholic with a penchant for fibbing. The relationship carved out of these dueling ideologies may be tattered, but it's done so with grace and zeal from two outstanding actors that it feels almost novel. The real heart of Southpaw comes from Rachel McAdams as Hope's wife Maureen and their daughter Leila (Oona Laurence). Watching McAdams shift between Hope's tough ringside companion to worried wife is seamless, working methodically to play counterpoint to Billy's wild side, one that must be tamed in order for him to regain custody of his daughter once the gloves come off. Newcomer Oona Laurence propels the film forward into the third act with a subdued power that gives us rhyme and reason to root for Hope, even if we can't help but blame him for everything. It's a story-arc that has been beaten like a dead boxer, and it certainly makes the second act a tough one to chew, but given the caliber of acting it's a mouthful worth grappling with. While Southpaw won't break new ground in a breed of sports films that beg for our impassioned attention, it's a worthy spectacle that gives more life than it loses, filling an often coarse act with tenderness and finesse.",6 "They should have called this movie Ninja-man. Seriously...why is Batman in this flick? At best, this is Hollywood hackery with all the loose ends tied up in a tidy little convoluted package. It takes Batman - who is such an obvious fantasy hero living in a fantasy world - and tries to spread him over real life. The result is embarrassing to behold. Act I feels like a tasteless film noir riff on The Last Samauri. Act II is downright insulting - every single major player loses common sense to an almost surreal extinct. Act III is basically Die Hard IV: Die Batman Die. Now, this is coming from someone who loved, loved, loved MEMENTO and INSOMNIA, as well as Tim Burton's BATMAN and BATMAN RETURNS. As bad as BATMAN AND ROBIN was - at least it wasn't pretentious. The soundtrack sounds like it was cobbled together from various faceless, forgettable Action Movie Trailers. It is utterly soulless...but that matches Bruce Wayne's (non)character. Wayne is supposed to be clever - a scientist! Here, he comes off like a frat boy with a silver spoon in his mouth and a chip on his shoulder. Instead of appearing mysterious, he is inexplicable and unaccountable if not simply an utter dolt. Batman Begins exhibits a one-dimensional Bruce Wayne unconvincingly leading a double-life. At times, he borders on non-dimensional. I've got some advice for the producers of this film - re-title this thing The League of Shadows, cut out your half-baked ""Batman"" subplot, compose an actual score and you'd have just another Bad American Action Movie rather than a Pretentiously, Embarrassingly ""Serious"" Comic Book Bastardization. To be fair, this movie does have about 15 minutes of interesting material. I'm sure it makes for a great trailer. But the rest is Bat droppings. Sorry fans, I really wanted to dig this flick. I hate to rain on the parade of praise rolling in for this thing. I'm glad so many of you enjoyed this and I wish I could share in your enthusiasm. I'm just trying to warn readers like myself to lower their expectations.",3 "Probably the best show I have watched this year. Amazing lead actress, simple plot that nevertheless managed to keep me intrested through all episodes.",8 "TFATWS, ( by the time I'm writing this ) 3 episodes in, is not a bad show. It's not great, either. It's kind of the generic MCU installment that we expect. This is nothing we haven't seen before. I hope it gets better, but so far it's a solid 7 from me.",7 "La La Land is a beautifully made love story musical, and very much a celebration of the classic musicals from a bygone era. Our two main characters are Mia (Emma Stone) and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling). Mia is an aspiring actress who dreams of silver screen stardom while suffering repeated rejection at auditions. Sebastian is frustrated Jazz pianist forced to put up with bit-part opportunities, either solo or as a band member, while he dreams of opening his own Jazz Club. Both actors perform their roles well - whether speaking, dancing or playing - and that all important chemistry so essential to a good love story is certainly there in this film. Will each realise their ambitions? Will they fall in love and live happily ever after? These are the two simple questions at the heart of this warm and colourful film. Though beautifully made and very pleasant on the eye, La La Land never really took off for me. There simply wasn't the emotional pull to care overly about the characters, or the hoped for variety and mastery of musical set pieces. In fact, too much of the music was a repeat of what had gone before and my hunch is that no songs from this film will become engrained classics like those of old. I just wanted more . . . I was waiting for lift off and it never arrived. Hats off to all involved for departing from the violent norms of so many modern day blockbuster films. They've made us a charming, sweet and dreamy movie. It might fall short in some respects, but it's still nice to see.",6 "I used to watch this to some extend as a kid but it wasn't a show for me and if there were something else on, I would zap right over to that after watching a certain amount or at least that's how I remember it. To be honest, I don't know what I disliked about this show as a kid. I just remember wanting to watch something else, despite my friends telling me how great the show was. I decided to watch avatar properly for the first time being much older, because of the amazing reception and score it had on IMDB, and as you can see at my own amount of stars I absolutely loved it! It took me a couple of episodes to really be immersed, might be because of my previous experiences with the show, but after those first few episodes which aren't bad at all, I was hooked! The great storylines, amazing voice acting and outstanding writing and animation. Everything wrapped in a simple yet compelling narrative with a fleshed out world and distinct characters where every single one feels special. Every character drives the story forward or play a part in helping our main protagonists which of course is what brings all the heart and joy that avatar has. You develop a real connection with Aang, Katara, Toph and Sokka, you feel like a part of the team, and you understand Zuko, Azula, Iroh and Ozai. They don't feel like one dimensional characters, they have depth and quarrels with each other and themselves, they all have their own background and beliefs and each character develop as a person over the course of the show, and of course we got to give our respects to the cabbage man! This ""kids"" show will make you go through an array of emotions, as the performances and writing is absolutely super-b. The animation is still to this day beautiful and holds up by todays standards. It has a lot of charm and express a lot of emotions in both obvious and subtle ways. This of course isn't a thriller but in the end a show made for kids, but it can definitely be hearth wrenching and dark just as much as it is fun and light hearted. I absolutely loved this and I think everyone will, despite my own first impressions. As a kid I couldn't see the perfection of this wonderful show. A show that isn't just for kids but just as much for adults, which I am a true testament to. Avatar is outstanding and there is something for everyone in this show, no matter if you're a kid, teen or adult. This show has stood the test of time as a perfect animated show. 10/10.",10 "I'd only heard of this film after watching 'I Love You, Man.' I googled the cast, and then turned my attention to Jason Segel. Realizing I had never heard of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I researched it, only to find so many of my favorite actors! Kristen Bell, Russell Brand, Jonah Hill AND Mila Kunis all together?? I then rented the DVD and discovered that Forgetting Sarah Marshall is of the same genre as I Love You, Man, and Segel does the same quality of acting. I liked that he was able to get his life back on track, and find a love interest along the way. I was also happy to see that Sarah(played by Bell) got her comeuppance. Russell Brand also does a fantastic job, considering his love for sex in real life. Anyone in the mood for lots of goofy sex scenes will enjoy this movie!",7 "The director wants to prove that he is clever so badly, but there are so many plotholes it is glaringly obvious to anyone with an IQ above 50...",1 "Series four seems to reset to the same story as the first series in many respects. Strange happenings, teenage angst, nerdy annoyance and lots of filler scenes. Very disappointing and it seems it's been done just to satisfy Netflix rather than push the story forward for viewers. If in doubt as to where to go with it, go back to a contrived backstory. It's very boring.",3 "All those ratings have got to be fake. I can and will not believe that most people ACTUALLY thought this movie was good. It took literally until one hour and 14 minutes, half way through the whole film, to FINALLY get some action sequences that are longer than 5 seconds! Everything beforehand is boring preparation garbage and stupid dialogues by uninteresting, cliché characters nobody cares about mixed with some dad-jokes even immature teenagers would heartily yawn at. The end was also really, really cheesy, completely ""ex machina"" and bad... seriously, who wrote this crap? Compared to other action hero flicks this falls super flat on all fronts: Uninspired story and antagonists, far too little action, too much blabbering and cringey PEGI-13 fillers and jokes. 2/10, this movie is utter trash so don't waste your time.",2 "It's not a hypothetical event from writers, it's bloody true historical incidence, probably one of the most devastating radiation leakage in history. It revealed the Soviet Union battle against the radiation which can harm half of the world under clock ticking situation. How real and so many hero behind who sacrificed themselves for saving million of life.",9 "Pirates of the Caribbean is a pretty predictable movie. It has the oh-so-lovable, slacker of a semi villain, and then it has the hero out to get the girl he loves. The other pirates are of course all comic reliefs, and the rest is just spent idly with special effects and rescue after rescue. Fun to watch but that's as far as it goes. 6/10",6 Felt like story/script was written by a kid. Very weak plot. Marvel movies in this phase are becoming more like kid's fairytale. Better title for this movie would have been 'Witch vs Wizard: Battle of magics'.,3 "First of all, this movie is way over-rated at 8.x. No way, not in this verse. It is an interesting concept, but the execution is totally botched. The plot lacks any semblance of nuance or insights, instead it relies on cheap gimmicks with nonsensical kung-fu sequences and silly conversations between two rocks. The acting talent was largely wasted due to poor, amateurish script and dialogues.",3 "In spite of all the good reviews and high IMDb score, I did not have very high expectations of this movie. However, I did expect a good quality romcom. Well, it turned out to be a mind-blowing bad movie. In fact, I can't think of one good thing to say about it. The writing, the acting, the directing, etc. - it was all bad. There was no chemistry between the main characters. Not funny, not touching, very pretentious and stupid. The story was unoriginal, predictable and boring. The only mystery about this movie is its Oscar nominations and an Oscar Win! I guess, Oscars can now be bought in Hollywood if you have the well-paid campaign behind it. A true disappointment.",3 "What started out as an interesting premise develops into an unbearably slow story telling without a hint of suspense. It seems like the creator of this mini series took it upon himself to fill 10 episodes with this Stephen King plot and found out he should have done it in 5 or 6 episodes or a 2-2,5 hour movie. Stretching and stretching scenes and dialogues to the point that it becomes way too thin to be enjoyable. I found myself waiting for the plot to develop but to no avail. On the whole the acting is not bad alfhough the stubborn attitude of the character Ralph gets annoying. He dismisses any theory outside his own way of thinking too quickly and easily to be believable. Wouldn't recommend.",4 "this movie has same story line as batman vs superman.but batman vs superman has serious content unlike captain America- civil war which has content of reality show .none of characters have seriousness,very predictable and immature. only fight sequences are well choreographed and fight sequences too lack reality and are of cartoon like.it looks like they have made story to make sequels intentionally,they don't have a real story or substance to tell audience. one can understand movie only if you remember all the stories of all marvel superheroes.they just go on introducing one superhero after another without much detailing.you will get confused and later after accessing your memory database of all marvel movies you have watched will bring some clarity.they just want to make money with superheroes,they don't have intention to tell real compelling stories.after watching this movie,i felt numb.what did i watch? nothing serious or substantial.just some fighting sequences to show off.",5 """Tokyo Magnitude 8.0"" tells the story of two young kids, a brother and sister, surviving a post-apocalyptic world after the events of a catastrophic earthquake as they make a long journey home to be re-united with their family. Though it isn't the most creative and compelling story, it really is more about the 'journey' that these characters take and the people they meet along the way that makes the anime worth the watch. Even with just 11 episodes in 1 exclusive season, some episodes simply come across filler material as certain elements become repetitive very fast due to the show's slightly slow pace. However, this is all forgiven when we reach the show's bittersweet climax and, without delving into spoiler territory, discover the surprises that the anime has in store, making you appreciate the time taken to reach the ending and, as previously mentioned, the journey taken to get there. Aided by the admirable story are the beautiful visuals, the art style being very reminiscent of Studio Ghibli productions. It is also worth mentioning the delicate score too, which is often serene and led by an elegant piano in the show's calmer moments, complimenting the animation and contributing to the show's overall bittersweet ambiance. An English dub of the series does exist and though the entire voice cast is not superbly talented, the performances are definitely sufficient and convey the characters appropriately, especially Luci Christian whose performance of teenager Mirai Onozawa stands out amongst the rest and comes across impeccably from episode to episode. Whether you're new to anime or not, ""Tokyo Magnitude 8.0"" is definitely worth the watch and with just 1 short season, it gets to the point with a definitive ending. It's worth noting that there's a ""condensed"" version of the series which runs under just less than an hour but I would strongly recommend just watching through all 11 episodes and following the characters' journey in these tragic events from the very beginning to the very end. ""Tokyo Magnitude"" appropriately gets an ""8.0"" for its simple yet effective storytelling and memorable characters.",8 An amazing insight into the 1985 disaster. Wonderful dialogue and character portrayal. Informative and educational.... I would have like even more detail!!,9 "After binging this series in a week and enjoying most of it I can soundly say Stranger Things is definitely worth the watch but that is not without some things to say about it first. I would definitely say the first season is the best one by far. It burns slow, hits hard in the middle, brings the story home with the ending... Season 2 spends most of its time bringing in to much back story for a number of characters that dont really matter, while its needed in some cases it takes up screen time and drags way to much. The plot for this season is also quite boring and I was very lucky to keep intrested, if the show continued this way i may have dropped it. Season two 4.5-5/10 easy... Season 3 picks back up and alot of characters are starting to have alot of growth throughout the episodes nothing negative to say about season 3 its paced well and ends with lovely cliff hanger... Season 4 much like season 3 although the whole love conquers evil thing does feel its getting old, the characters have really grown into themselves and non the less still a very enjoyable season... To finish this summary I will say while i understand this is a supernatural kind of show I feel they use that alot to get away with moving the plot forward without having to answer for much which is a bit of a eye roller sometimes. To be honest I dont know how many seasons this show has left to keep up with its originality and keep things interesting, but im optimistic. All up the actors have all done a great job and I can finish with saying the soundtrack was amazing!",7 "Season two...nope...nope....nope. Stop ruining good shows! I loved the first season, it was irreverent, funny, quirky and charming. Season two is a disaster. Why do the angels look like they where cast for a 1970's movie set in an insane asylum? Basically, they are checking every current social commentary box with complete disregard for plot. I'm sorry did I say plot? Plot would be a too generous term for the story they stumble through while destroying an iconic work. Just don't bother. Watch season one and then go about your life enjoying a tv show that was written and produced before the entertainment industry forgot they exist to entertain.",1 "This series is one of the best series out there. The characters are fresh their background is well writtin and presented. The main characters are relatable. The visuals and sound quality are good the plot is interesting and wants you to lear more as the series progresses. Every element has their own unique style and every character has their own style of how to use it. The series is philosophical and political. The series shows us the horrors of wars and destruction. The series has it's own unique art style and the way of presenting it.",9 "Its clear from the reviews on here that most people giving this show a 9 or 10 have never read the books or played the games or they are just big fans of Henry Cavil no matter role he plays Unfortunately if you have read the books or played the games you will struggle to enjoy this show I think Henry Cavil is a good actor but i cant get away with the choice of casting for this show! They are all just not right for these characters and obviously the director has on purposely wanted to chamge a few things when it comes to this, i personally think yennifer shpuld have been played by someone else but most of all i think Geralt shpuld have been played by someone else aswell for me personally i think Zach McGowan would have suoted the role perfectly, he has a natural rpugh sounding voice he has a sharp facial features and hes slimmer but shredded! Story wise the writers and directors have changed things from source material which i hate especially when these shows or films are supposed to be adaptions of a already well established and loved franchise! Why not just create something with a difirent name if you want to change so much of the original material or just make some kind of spin off instead of labeling it with the same name that the original content comes from but then change that content! Apparently the reason Henry Cavill is leaving is due to the dorectors and writers straying form the spurce material so i say good on him! Im glad he is more concerned about the original material and he himself is such a fan that he is willing to walk away from a secure role instead of sticking arpund and tarnishing it! Its a shame Pablo Schrieber wont do the same and step away from the halo tv show which is another shocking adaption of a popular franchise! The writers and directors are diffirent for many episodes if you look at the credits there is hardly any consistency, 2 episodes are wretten and directed by the same people then the next 2 or 3 episodes are written and directed by different people again amd so on and so on....... this is never good having all these different writers and directors taking turns doing episodes of there own and this show proves this! CGI looks terrible in this show almost comic book style reminds me of the film 300 especially in some scenes from season 3 I could go on for days picking at this show, im just another disappointed fan who loved this franchise and hoped for something better My advice to people is to stick to the books or even the games as the characters are portrayed way better and the story keeps you more interested and actually focuses on the main characters! Id stay clear of the tv show.",1 Excellent mini series of twists and turns. Found it very odd to start (but beautifully shot) but after a twist in episode 3 we were hooked .... and waiting to watch it each week on release date. Excellent nods to the Marvels movies throughout. Great watching.,8 "I have watched this movie encouraged by its high rating, but I got very disappointed. I cannot understand why a movie like this get 7.7 rating. Whatever the taste of the audience, I cannot imagine that somebody will indeed like it. The movie fails in almost every singe detail. 1- Story Line: Non interesting and contains a lot of repetitive events. 2- Cinematography: Less than mediocre. 3- Pace: Extremely slow making the movie very boring. 4- Nothing to be followed, you just watch and get bored. 5- Dialog: They are non interesting and rarely contribute to the main story. 6- Twist: A promising twist that never happens. 7- End: Plain and does not make any sense. I still give this movie 2 stars for taking care of the character development, but this alone cannot save this movie. Never recommend this movie for anybody.",2 "I am a fan of Spielberg's work, however, there are many flaws in this story. I would not have cast Dano as the father, nor would I have chosen Seth Rogan in this type of story. The backstory of the dysfunctional family took way too long to develop, and was less than interesting. Realistically, the entire movie is way too long. The story arc is poor and weak. Music is somewhat fitting, and some of it has a sweet sentimentality to it. However, this is not a first time director with a limited budget. This story should be tight, truly told well and with the right cast. He knows when to cut a story, and also, what makes a beautiful or bad story. I have no clue why anyone gave him 40 million to do this project. Even worse, this is nominated for seven Oscars. What this should tell you people is that someone's name and money talks. There is no way this film is worth one Oscar. Do Better, Steven. We deserve it, and you are capable of it.",4 "I really wanted this to be the best ending ever but I was so disappointed. The other Avenger movies were very enjoyable but this one was different. Like Dr Strange said there are so many ways this could have ended. Unfortunately, in order to close the many arcs the story just felt forced, poorly paced with many many liberties taken that should not have been like the ""storm trooper wielding a light saber moment"" with Captain America. They also manage to get every woman in the film in the frame at the same time looking real tough. Do we really expect that 3.5 seconds of supposed girl power to inspire anyone? Give me a break! It's very condescending IMO. Also I felt like other characters were not properly utilized. Technically the film looked really good and the acting was great. I'll watch it at home once and probably never again. It will still make tons of cash and a lot of people seem to be satisfied.",4 "This is one of the greatest shows on TV at current. Season one took an original concept and created an all time great that had tension to the extreme. There are some people who are of the opinion the subsequent seasons were pointless and are rehashing the same idea, and maybe that's true that the idea is being down over and over again, but I don't care, because the writing continues to be great, the twists are still unpredictable, there is continuing character development and you simply can't stop watching. Kiefer Sutherland has given us a great character with grit, edge, and emotions, and as such is one of few Heroes that I side with in fiction. That said, there are numerous great villains also, many of whom are every bit a match for Sutherland's Jack Bauer. Great writing, precise directing, beautiful cinematography,powerful performances from the actors, everything great television should be.",10 "I started watching the new Lost in Space a couple of weeks ago and finally found the time to finish it up. The visual effects are magnificent and you're instantly transported off to some distant planet and feel like you're on the adventure of a lifetime with the Robinson family. I want to give kudos to the writers, producers and directors for having the courage to cast a strong, alpha-female in the role of Maureen Robinson. Molly Parker is brilliant in the role and portrays the character in a positive, refreshing and inspiring light. This is Maureen's mission and she takes orders from no one! The supporting cast gets a refreshing update for 2018 with diversity and inclusiveness at the forefront. Taylor Russell, the only African-American in the core group of characters is a welcome addition to the cast as Judy Robinson and portrays her character as a strong and brilliant scientist. Mina Sundwall plays Penny Robinson and adds a bit of unpredictability and excitement to her character that makes this family more real. Taylor and Mina's characters balance each other out in a sisterly yin-yang sort of way. It's fun to watch, there's a lot of humor. My personal favorite update to the new series is that of the character of Dr. Smith. The casting of Parker Posey as Dr. Smith (and a female) is in my opinion, the key to the success of the series. You find yourself wanting so badly to like Dr. Smith and feel that she's so close to doing the right thing, but then she doesn't. This teasing of the characters moral struggle is great fun and exciting to watch and is played so well by Parker. Maxwell Jenkins gets the part of the updated Will Robinson character with some not so endearing qualities. While not my favorite character, Maxwell does a good enough job of portraying a younger, more insecure and whinier version of the original character. If I have one recommendation for next season, it would be to maybe revamp this character a little. Toby Stephens rounds out the core cast members as John Robinson and is basically relegated as the ""muscle"" in this version of the story. His character is an ex-marine so he's good at taking orders from Maureen. One of my favorite scenes in season 1 is when Maureen tells John (the Marine) that she doesn't allow guns in the house so he isn't allowed to use the 3D printer to make one! Believable? I don't know but it was fun to watch. His character seems a little thin and I hope they find some development opportunities for him in the series. There are many other great castings in the series such as the characters of Don West and the Watanabe family. Do yourself a favor and give the series a try. They did a great job of updating the show for 2018!",8 "I love Steve Martin & Martin Short. They work so great together. Steve Martin is an amazing writer as well, which is why I assume that many of the things that seem out or sorts were pushed by Producers/Hulu wanting to bring in a Younger audience. I also assume that's why they brought in Selena, because she reaches a younger demographic and has a huge fan club, hence all the 10 reviews. It has potential to be a great story if they stop with all the check the box woke stuff. I also feel all the profanity takes away from good dialogue. When did profanity become the norm to prove your an adult show? I hope the show improves but I feel the association with Hulu will hinder rather than help this production. They want to be edgy just to push edgy, they don't really care about story content.",6 "Very nice movie to watch, superb acting, awesome screenplay and good background score. Many best moments in the movie, thrilling scenes, suspense. Keep it up team! Very nice movie to watch, superb acting, awesome screenplay and good background score.

Captivating performances from all the cast, nothing is overstated, everything is set in a perfect balance of humour, drama, heartbreak, violence & love. It's like nothing I've ever watched before. Gutted it's finished. Well done to all involved, a masterclass in story telling.",9 "Lonely people are always not understood, lonely genius is the eyes of others, until Shylock met Watson. McCoff, Molly, Greg, Mrs. Anderson, Mary, Oluse, and the big villain Moriarty. While watching the Sherlock Holmes family IQ crush everyone, while immersed in the drama presented in the ordinary life side, emotional entanglement, this is the real life ah. Bookford's shylock, a classic beyond.",9 "Firstly, if you want to watch a much, MUCH better version of this type of crime drama, watch the superb Happy Valley, which I assume this show was a poor rip-off, and the brilliant Sarah Lancashire who can act circles around Winslet. I don't dislike Winslet, but think she was persuaded here to make some very weird acting choices, and got convinced that gaining 20 pounds, wearing frumpy clothes and dirty hair, and cursing constantly accounts for establishing a ""realistic character"". HBO certainly likes those. The best actor here is without a doubt Jean Smart who is effortless in her role, and owns every scene she appears in. The main story is kind of dull and weak, until it gets too complicated and pulls literally everyone in it, even your dog. Choices are made that make no sense, and clues appear suddenly and conviniently. The aftermath is meh. Guy Pearce is here why? To be suave and sparsely used? Also, Zabel is like 20 years younger than Winslet's character yet really wants a relationship with her? What? At least cast someone older to make me not want to yell ""come on"" every time he tries to get her to date him. Again, watch British crime dramas. They are unparalled, especially the older ones. They are pure grit and depression put on screen, perfect to make your own less than stellar life appear almost satisfactory. Almost.",4 "A Netflix original series, TEOTFW follows the lives of James (Alex Lawther), a seventeen-year-old who thinks of himself as a psychopath and Alyssa (Jessica Barden) a moody teenager that hates everything that is going on around her, together they decide to ditch their average lives and go on a road trip so that Alyssa could meet her birth father. I regretted wasting three and a half hours of my life watching this excuse of a show as I preferred watching paint dry. I honestly don't know what people are liking about this program as none of the characters were likable, as I wanted them dead after the first ten minutes, every adult that was involved was even worse, with the exception of James's father (Phil Oram) and the pacing was just plain dull. While some millennials are criticizing shows like ""Friends"" for making ""fat"" and ""homophobic"" jokes, this show has been getting praise and I still haven't figured out why.",1 "So, the legend himself Steven Spielberg makes a movie about making movies. We've seen bits of this already in 'Super 8'. Now he turns the 'Super 8' idea into a coming of age family movie. But 'The Fabelmans' was so uneven in its narration that I'm not sure what to make of it. The film starts off introducing the Jewish Fabelman family. There's the Dad, Burt (Paul Dano), who is a brilliant scientist and inventor. His wife is Mitzi (Michelle Williams), who is a pianist. Then there are the children, of which only Sammy (Gabriel LaBelle) is noteworthy. And then there's the family friend, Bennie (Seth Rogen), who turns out to be more than just a friend... From the very first time a young Sammy went to the movies with his parents, he became interested in making movies. This is a passion he soon pursued, and he would make movies and show them at school, to great praise from the audience. Does this sound like the life and times of Steven Spielberg? This is a very, very long movie, and a great deal of the movie's runtime is made up by Sammy making movies, and then showing them to family and friends. Why this takes up so much screen time is beyond reason, as this does not contribute to the film in any way. Cool, we understand, he's making movies at a young age, but do we actually want to see everything of what he does? Just a hint of it would have sufficed. We get the picture. Judd Hirsch stars as Mitzi's uncle, Boris, whom her deceased mother warned her against in a dream. I was expecting so much from this character - especially also since Judd Hirsch received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor - but he was in this long film for only about 10 minutes and all he did was talk to Sammy. That's it! When he left the next morning, he was never seen again. What was the point? The film would not have played out any differently had this character not been in the movie at all. When the family moved to California and Sam was being bullied at school, I completely lost interest. It felt like a completely different movie and even the narration transitioned from interesting drama to uninteresting comedy - complete with religious blasphemy. What the hell? The most interesting characters with the promise of intrigue, were Mitzi and Bennie. No offense, Mr Spielberg, but the film had the potential to take so many interesting turns. Instead, the final act was primarily aimed at a teen demographic, and an uninteresting one at that. The horizon was in the middle. (If you've seen the movie, you'll know what this means). Yes, the performances were very good, and 'The Fabelmans' is beautifully filmed. Unfortunately, it was just way overlong, and ultimately a bit boring towards the end.",4 "I somehow managed to convince my immensely macho friend to watch this film with me and boy was it an amazing experience! Margot Robbie added a level of depth to this character that has previously never been shown. Her performance wholeheartedly needs to garner her every award for acting. Ryan Gosling as Ken also needs awards, he was immensely funny and showed emotions at the right time. America Ferreira needs to win an award for best supporting actress, her monologue towards the end was just wow!!! The film has a ton of heart, humor and the ability to make you go from being sad, reflecting life to laughing out loud. I would highly recommend that everyone watch this film, it's quite the experience.",10 "Mind blowing and disturbing show! It is the twilight zone with an R rating. Some episodes of the show are fantastic especially white Christmas, while others are very weak because this is an anthology.",7 "As some of the other reviewers, I was quite let down by the almost countless flaws about the EOD team's routines and military discipline shown in this film. They are not making a film about some mercenaries here, this film is about ELITE teams of the US military. For those who are determined to watch the movie, I will try not to write any spoilers, but one thing I can say, if you are in the military, please DON'T pay for this, wait for somebody to lend it to you on DVD if you are curious. For instance, not being an expert in the military, I can see clearly that these extraordinarily skilled professionals (EODs) are not gonna risk their lives, and subsequently, their team's, in order to quench their adrenaline needs. And if there would be one like our 'hero' here, he would probably have been put out of his misery after the first display of super-cool cowboy attitude. The reason why I gave it 5 stars is no other than the fact that I actually really enjoyed the quality of all the technical aspects (sound, visual, etc), and that the actors also did a good job, since it is not their fault that the ones in charge of the script didn't mind to care about how some things work in real life: such as military ranks, discipline, X-Boxes and Ipod Touch in 2004 brought to Irak by time travel, and so on. I am just not too sure what they wanted to do here, it does not seem like criticism to the military, perhaps more like the opposite, like they tried to give a tribute to them. But OMG, in order to do that, do not portray them like the 'hero' here. That's all I will say without giving out any spoiler. Useful? I wish you all the best!",5 "While the primary allure of adaptations is their fidelity to the source material, Netflix seems to have misinterpreted this core tenet. The creators haven't merely been unfaithful to the original story - that, at least, could have opened avenues for creative reinterpretation. Instead, they have crafted an entirely new plot so divergent and disconcerting that it disrespects both the original lore and its ardent followers. This new narrative, far from enhancing the universe of The Witcher, is riddled with disjointed subplots, weak character arcs, and a misguided focus on spectacle over story. The intricate political and moral dilemmas that made Sapkowski's work so compelling have been overshadowed by a pursuit of empty spectacle and cheap shock value. The characters, once rich and multi-faceted, are reduced to mere shadows of their literary counterparts, robbed of depth and complexity. Moreover, the writers seem to have adopted an inexplicable approach of quantity over quality, stuffing the series with new characters and subplots, thus distracting from the central narrative. This approach has resulted in an over-bloated narrative structure that does more to confuse viewers than to captivate them. In conclusion, Netflix's The Witcher is a grave disappointment. It strays from the path of its source material, not to innovate or deepen its world, but to craft a poor imitation that dilutes the strength of the original. It is a cautionary tale of how not to adapt a beloved book series, a glaring testament to the disservice done to The Witcher's rich lore. Instead of becoming the next pillar of fantasy television, it has sadly become a textbook example of a promising series gone awry.",2 "Let me preface this by saying I'm not a member of the target audience for this often-dubbed ""teen movie""; however at 31 years old I think I related to and laughed at this movie just an intensely as any 16 year old teeny-bopper in the theater. I think I stopped laughing for no more than 90 consecutive seconds at a time. I haven't enjoyed a comedy like this since I first saw Raising Arizona or Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Comparisons to American Pie are totally off base - American Pie isn't even the same league as Superbad. Myself and my other 30-something friends were DYING from laughter throughout the entire film, and quite amazed and disgusted at how much we could relate to the nerdy but lovable main cast. If you even remotely liked ""Knocked Up' or ""40 Year Old Virgin"" or ""Freaks and Geeks"", you MUST go see this movie ASAP...if for no other reason that to experience the genius of what is McLovin. Seth Rogan, you are the man. Great film my friend.",9 "Btec douglas adams meets the Old Testament. The humour is lame and often shockingly obvious, for the creative minds behind it it's rather shocking that this was the best they came up with.",2 "When me and my mom rented this movie, I figured it would be very good. But when me and my mom actually watched it, we both realized how big of a piece of crap it really was. Basically, it was the most boring movie me and my mom ever seen. Boring situations. Boring characters. Boring plot all together. It looked like some indy film put together in a week. Like, every time we said ""hey, maybe soon its going to get hot"", it never came. It stayed boring until the ending which was crap by the way. It was very difficult for me to stay awake watching this and even my mom was falling asleep and it wasn't even dark yet. I don't know what these people are smoking that are giving this dumb movie high ratings, but I myself would only recommend this to my worst enemies so they can suffer the same thing I did when watching this movie.",2 "Yet I watched it all because I love the universe. Still, it's bad character building, one dimensional characters lacking emotional depth with some good acting here and there though, bad overall dialogue - I laughed so many times when it's supposed to be serious, like with the dragon - and a really bad time continuity explanation. Great potential within the universe but incredibly bad writing overall. It is perhaps the most unintentionally hilarious and at times cringy series I have ever seen. Also bringing in lots of wannabe Game elements, nudity and a few times excessive horror-esque violence that seems forced and unnecessary to the story, just for the ""thrills"". GOT it is not",7 "Wasn't sure whether it was worth watching, but was not disappointed. Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Poignant, interesting story, which was very well acted, with beautiful scenery and costumes. Would highly recommend.",8 "There's absolutely nothing new Wednesday adds to the genre. It's the same cliche story you've heard a thousand times already. A coming-of-age story of a teenage girl that turns into a Nancy Drew murder mystery. Seriously, how many times has this been done at this point? Not only is the entire plot a copy and paste from the last ten stories that have done it, the writers couldn't have even bothered to put any decent twists into the story. I'm not going to explicitly state any spoilers in this review, but you should be able to solve the mystery on your own before you get to the final episode. It's a 4/10 because the only unique thing about the show is that this time they decided to cash in on the Addams family, which is a franchise that needed more love, but it definitely deserved better than this Navy Drew, Harry Potter knock-off.",4 "First season was great, it was fun to watch, had a nice engaging story line and good characters. It also wrapped up things quite nicely. When I was scrolling through new tv shows and saw Good Omens season 2 I was surprised, since Good Omens was not the kind of show that really needs a second season. I was worried that that the second season will be just a pale shadow of the first one but gave it a watch. And sadly, I was correct. First season followed the events in the book and the second has no book to follow and it shows. To me it felt almost as if I was watching Good Omens fan fiction. The storyline jumped all over the place and the main plot thread just flopped around and fizzled out at the end. Also the ending was not really satisfying and a clear setup for the season 3 which will probably be just as bad. Plus the relationship between the two main characters is developed in a very strange way, it goes from these kinda reluctantly good friends in season 1, to, well as I mention above, bad fan fiction in season 2. Season 1 was about 7.5/10 Season 2 is a weak 5/10 at most.",6 "Barbie, with a surprising amount of political undertones, will probably be one of the most surprising releases of 2023. The movie showcases both sides of the coin, hyper-femininity and hyper-masculinity, with subtle jabs and character realisations throughout the entire film without becoming exhausting. It's undeniable that Barbie is a female empowerment movie but it's one that everyone can get behind. My only disappointments is that Micheal Cera got a marginal amount of screen time despite being the comedic punching bag, and it would of been nice to spend a little more time in Barbieland. Everyone will have their own take on this screenplay, and it might take a few viewings to understand the messages that the film is trying to provide to the viewer, but by no means is this movie bad.",8 "Kate Winslet is outstanding in this movie. Her performance is not only the central one, but she is just phenomenal. Her performance is so great, that it almost made me rate this movie higher. But I'm not rating the acting, but the overall movie-experience that I had and what I think this movie deserves. ""Deserves"" might not be the right word, because the subject matter is a very ambitious one. And just for that might be rated higher by some people. But the problem is, that apart from the different time lines, the story and the decisions the characters make, leave you indifferent most of the time. And they shouldn't, because of the nature of them. But although Kate Winslet is great and the movie begins pretty strong, it all gets deluded along the way. A shame then, but a movie that drags to long, trying to make a point that is pretty clear from the get go (or after half the movie is over).",5 "The Witcher is a fantasy series based on the original series of books by Andrzej Sapkowski. The whole plot revolves around the main character - Geralt of Rivia, the witcher. Geralt's main job is to destroy various dangerous creatures for money, who found themselves in his world after the so-called ""conjugation of spheres"". However, he is not always ready to mindlessly fulfill the orders of his employers. For example, he refuses to destroy intelligent beings, or dragons that are in danger of extinction. Geralt is trying to protect his adopted daughter Ciri (Child of Surprise), a young princess of the destroyed kingdom of Cintra, destined for him even before her birth. I learned all this delightful plot after reading 5 out of 9 books. So what will we see in the series? Okay, the first episode was fascinating: costumes, characters, action - the perfect start for such a wonderful series. But further - not to say that it is much better. It seems like a book, but it seems not. When I saw Triss for the first time, I was immediately surprised - it's not her! Don't get me wrong, the actress is good, but the role itself is not suitable for her. Season 1 was amazing. But season 2... Okay, maybe I'm the only one who just didn't get it. I really hope for the upcoming sequel, which we will see in 2022. The series is perfect for those who have played a series of games, for people who like this setting. The series has many pluses, but as many minuses. I hope that in the near future the directors and screenwriters will think about all this.",8 "Too many stupid people make too many stupid decisions, at the end I hoped everyone would just die. The antagonist is not an evil genius, but just a total nutjob with lots of luck. The show is a total disaster.",3 "...I've never seen THAT much of a drop between IMDb ratings from theatrical release to streaming. Says a lot about the times we live in, and how most of us can't really afford to enjoy cinema properly anymore. In a way, in this case - I'm grateful I saved my money. Like everyone else, I ADORED the first Knives Out - one of VERY few mystery films which demands repeat viewings. Everything about that film is pitch perfect and it deserved so much more than a single Oscar nod. So what the EFF happened?! It's not good. It's not bad, but it's not good - and I wouldn't watch it again. It's so long. It's so cheesy. It's so hammy. It's so...NOT Knives Out. Is this just what films are going to be like now? Just pandering to idiots to turn a profit?",5 "Now I will start by saying that for all the many flaws and silly plot holes, which seem more glaring the more you think about them after viewing the film, I did enjoy the ride. It didn't really stick closely to it's own rules and some of the characters got lost in the shuffle - well, most of them, I suppose - but at least Nolan was trying to create something more than the same old flicks Hollywood churns out like the hot-buttered popcorn you can buy at every cinema. It's not terribly original and nor should anyone buy into the hype that it is, but that doesn't mean it is without merit. To dispel the myth that this is original, I have to say it draws fairly obvious comparisons to the following works, which isn't to say it lacks originality, more that it treads the same sort of path with a different flavour. * The Matrix (1999) - Anyone who doesn't see this must be blind; they seem to come from the same seam. It's one of the few similar films that can stand up next to it though. * Dark City (1998) - The buildings, the gravity. I can't say more than that. * Blade Runner (1982) - Chris loves this film. It's more in visual styles than story but it's there. And when I think of the title I can't help but think of the term ""incept date"". * Star Trek TNG - For the holodeck reference/style mostly. * Heat (1995) - The action scenes, despite the fantasy settings, seem remarkably tight and often quite realistic. * Synecdoche, New York (2008) - The more I think about it, the more similar it seems to this film, and the more this film seems similar to Dark City. Which is why I like them, I guess. * Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004) - Love is a big theme and how the mind deals with it an even bigger one. It would spoil Leo's story arc to say more. * eXistenZ (1999) - Can't believe I nearly missed this one. In that film it is virtual reality, as with The Matrix, but there are still a lot of parallels. * Ocean's Eleven (2001) - The whole thing about it being a concerted team effort to pull of such an ambitious caper. There are a lot of tiers at work here, and it's probably going to be the case that it's good first time around, and perhaps more intelligible after another viewing or three. Of course, the folks who fund Nolan films are aware of this and are hoping to double their revenue streams, actually adding this observation to some of the marketing bumph in the hope of getting people to go and see it twice a la Fight Club which makes me more than a little cynical, but I can wait for the home release anyway and would recommend everyone else do the same. This looks like a fun one to learn, certainly something worth studying if you happen to have more than a passing interest in film-making and convoluted slight-of-hand storytelling, and you really need to be able to pause, rewind and freeze-frame advance certain sections in order to do that. It mines the seam of ""what is reality, really?"" a favourite topic of Andrew Niccols and Charlie Kaufman, too. Those are among my favourite types of works because they beg endless discussion and if handled correctly can be a great source of inspiration. As I have a soft spot for those kinds of plots I suppose I'm naturally more willing to grant a bit more leeway, because credit where it is due I did find myself mulling over my perceptions of reality and re-evaluating the value of lucid dreams. Most films leave no discernible traces in the minds of anyone which makes this at least above average. The special effects aren't overused and/or intrusive, merely adding to the story I feel. And the mixture of CGI with real photographed elements is deftly handled. There is the odd moment of ""oh, too much"" or ""not layer blended so well there"" but trust me, it's far superior to a lot of the junk that gets through and at times I actually think they were deliberately making it a little weird and obvious to show it's still not a real world. To tie this review up: as one of the seemingly few people who thought The Dark Knight was a hopeless mess with very little to enjoy outside of a fiery Heath Ledger performance it's a welcome return to the twisting story lines that are usually a Nolan trademark. Despite the length there is enough going on that it doesn't feel like a moment of filler is present. Also, I would like to briefly point out that this is the first film DiCaprio has starred in where I actually enjoyed his performance completely. This film is not his best but nor is it his worst. It is well worth a watch, no doubt about that, but it shouldn't be heralded as a masterpiece and as of the time of writing this review is far, far too high in the IMDb Top 250. I'll grant that it is better than most of the cookie-cutter remake product that Hollywood is very fond of dishing up as of the past decade or so, therefore it looks better by comparison, but it isn't quite coherent enough to be brilliant. Hopefully it will inspire other writer/director auteurs to come up with similar, perhaps more lucid works. As it is, Memento (2000) and The Prestige (2006) are still the high watermarks against which few others can measure up, even the man himself. But it's still one hell of a ride.",7 "The sports series had great potential, at first it was quite good with a good plot and good characters that enlarged its universe a little more, the problem with the series was not even the series, it was the circumstance, being a marvel series and having very little budget for it and its plots having to align with what was going on in the marvel movies as they came out complicated things with its own plot, and it still made for an acceptable series. But when the series began to have its own problems, it was when it died little by little because by achieving emotional moments that amounted to nothing since none of the characters were capable of dying and returning in so many different ways that it seemed like a joke and it damaged the series, each time the chapters became more and more boring and some repetitive was what killed the series Without a doubt a good series despite everything that if I had had freedom I would have done quite well.",5 "Personally as person who isn't too much into all this comic book stuff, I watched this and it wasn't even mediocre. This was a terrible movie. The drama, characters and action all where really bad. There were still some good scenes in the movie, however over the 3 hour long movie, most of it was terrible. A lot of the acting felt forced, especially with the female superhero actors. There was not a good presentation or an interesting and surprising ending. Not to mention the terrible comedy spread throughout the film. Constantly repeating jokes that were not funny, and lots of references that were rather unfunny and forced. This felt like a nerdy fan film sequel to the really good movie, infinity war.",4 "I first saw Fargo in a grand, opulent, and beatifully restored 1920s movie theatre, now used for ""special screening"" films and the more accessible arthouse flicks. Seeing Fargo was my first time in this theatre, and I return on a semi-regular basis. I am glad to have had such a wonderful introduction, both to the theatre and to the film. In both respects, Fargo is classic cinema: worthy of being seen in the palatial grandeur of the best movie houses, and the kind of movie that is well-remembered when discovering such wonderful old places. Like the best output of the Coen Brothers, this is a remarkable character study relying on dark humor and cold realism (no pun intended) in creating a complicated and troubled scene of human emotions, troubles, and motives. Its greatest success is in attributing each of its characters with a complexity of characteristics: each one can be liked in his or her own way, and each is presented with such realistic vision that the viewer is suspended in his predicaments. The ability to capture the viewer is one attribute of a film that makes it great, and Fargo brilliantly displays that ability in the most subtle and quietly profound ways.",10 "I really like the films themselves about investigations, intrigues and murders, but there is one small flaw in this series. The whole plot is built around one person, which at some point begins to bother. Yes, the plot is folding, the actors are well chosen and played out as they should. But fiddling with the same topic for several seasons is a wild horror. I really love this series, despite this big flaw.",4 "It's just a genuinely bad, bad show so far. Im 7 episodes in and still going because it has an 8.4 on here... but wow. It's bad. I will update if things change.. but it shouldn't be this bad this far in. This show is really, really bad.",5 """Tokyo Revengers"" is an anime that tells the story of a young man named Takemichi Hanagaki who travels back in time to prevent the death of his friend and take revenge on the gang responsible for it. The anime has been praised for its intense action scenes and well-developed characters, as well as its unique take on the time-travel genre. It is a must-watch for fans of action and revenge stories. The story of the anime is well crafted, it keeps the viewer engaged from start to finish. The main character Takemichi is relatable and his personal development throughout the series is well executed. The series also deals with important themes such as friendship, redemption, and revenge in a mature and thought-provoking way. The animation is well done and the fight scenes are intense, adding to the overall viewing experience. In conclusion, ""Tokyo Revengers"" is a fantastic anime that I highly recommend. It offers a unique take on the time-travel genre and its well-developed characters and intense action scenes make it a must-watch for fans of action and revenge stories. The themes of friendship, redemption, and revenge are handled in a mature and thought-provoking way that makes it a memorable anime.",9 "Whoever was in charge of continuity should never be allowed to work in the industry again. One minute the driver has a cap on, the next he didn't, the next he did - totally distracting. So distracting that I couldn't continue watching; and I thought I could watch any Ryan Reynolds movie.",1 "I will start with that from the start I was not into the first episode at all. The characters unbelievable because the actors seem miscast. Paddy considine is a fine actor, but not for this part. The production and HBO obviously sink millions of dollars into the series so there's no issue on that aspect. I just found it too similar to GOT as far as the plot. The wigs as well, OMG lol. Obviously many have noticed that from the reviews. I was very bored and actually fell asleep 2 times trying to finish the first episode. I will give it a chance and hope I warm up to it or it actually gets better. Just because it's a GOT story doesn't mean it's necessarily good or great. The 10 star reviews are mostly bogus as usual.",5 "Willem Dafoe is perhaps the most diverse mainstream American actor alive, being able to pull his weight in summer blockbusters as well as smaller, indie faire with equal measure. Even as he hams it up, his magnetism is unwavering. Robert Pattinson, on the other hand, does not have the same charisma. The pretty-boy from the Stephanie Meyer vampire romances has partaken one what can only be described as a vanity project. The Lighthouse has all the trappings of an art school student film. Unconventional aspect ratio, singular setting, unintelligible dialogue, and yes, copious amounts of sex and violence. The film apparently draws inspiration from Hemingway and Edgar Allen Poe stories, although it reminds one of a particular short by science fiction author Ray Bradbury: ""The Foghorn"" - similarly about two men working in a lighthouse who unintentionally attract a large sea monster (which later became the basis for 1953's ""The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms""). Perhaps this Eggers fellow would have been better served adapting that story instead, with a tangible antagonist. What we get here is your typical psychological exploration of the monster inside us all, slowly being driven insane on a barren rocky island, as our protagonist grappled with a dark secret, with the light in the lighthouse meant to symbolize... something about the human condition. Perhaps the ending was an allusion to the Greek myth of Prometheus, although it is all very open-ended that you could read anything into it. A film about a man's internal struggle, but nothing much in the way of big ideas. I must commend the writers for giving the actors what appears to be authentic 19th century New England dialects to work with, but it was disconcerting the director did not have more faith in scaring his audience than using obligatory loud sound effects (an obnoxious piercing cry of a siren or the irritating blare of a fog horn) to make them uneasy. Never mind the blood, gore, and nudity. Subtlety is not Eggers' forte. One's time would be better spent watching the works of David Lynch or Lars Von Trier if they're in the mood for surreal, postmodern deconstructions of cinematic expressionism. Save this one for die-hard Dafoe fans.",5 "In the theater, people could not stop clapping and this is the first time I have seen almost all people watching even the movie credits. Very well knit storyline, brilliant performance by the actors especially Vicky Kaushal and very impactful dialogs. Loved it.",10 "I wanted to love this remake even though I'm anti remaking perfectly good movies simply because I did like Aladdin. Honestly, it had everything that made the animated great, a couple new things added but it took a lot of the fun little things away completely. I've seen it and I don't see myself buying it. If I want to watch the lion King, I'll watch the animated version. They could've really nailed this but they fell very short",3 "I mean, it's just the first episode... Why is everyone rating 1/10 if u seen abt like 10 min? Why are u so mean?? I don't get it.. Patience, please. I really enjoy the first episode and I'm looking forward to see the next one. I really think this deserve a chance.",9 "'IRON MAN 2': Five Stars (Out of Five) Like many second films in popular fantasy / action franchises (THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK', 'THE DARK KNIGHT', 'SPIDER-MAN 2', 'ALIENS', 'TERMINATOR 2', 'X-MEN 2', etc.)'IRON MAN 2' takes what worked about the first film and totally ups the ante and creatively expands on the characters and drama of the first film to probably it's emotional and entertaining peak! It in many ways blows the first film out of the water. Although the action is a lot less frequent than you might expect, from a big superhero blockbuster extravaganza like this, when it does happen it's breathtaking; the race-car fight scene, which happens about a third of the way into the movie, is so cool it's mind-blowing and it's also emotionally intense (It's one of the raddest scenes I've ever seen in a movie and the rest of the movie never quite tops it; so the climax does happen pretty early on but that's OK, there's still plenty of quality movie left even so). What's best about the movie is not the action though it's the character drama and dialog; it would be a crime if this thing doesn't at least get an Oscar nomination for best screenplay, although I'm sure that's a crime that will most likely be committed (Robert Downey Jr. also unarguably deserves a nomination for his acting performance as well though). The movie is jam packed with some of the most witty clever dialog and interesting character development I've ever seen in a blockbuster like this! The whole thing is a very complicated psychological character exploration, all revolving around the most fascinating superhero character to ever hit the big screen; the eccentric somewhat mad genius that is Tony Stark (once again insanely but amazingly portrayed by Downey Jr.). The film centers around Stark's battles (not with bad guys and world threats, but) with health issues (he's being poisoned to death by the machine he created, in his chest, that initially saved him), alcoholism, a Government that wants to take control of his technology for what they say is the good of the country and his overall fight to keep his sanity dealing with all this stress. Throw in Sam Rockwell as an impressively portrayed billionaire tech rival and Mickey Rourke as a soft spoken madman bent on revenge against the Stark family, who he blames for stealing his father's ideas, and you've got a complete circus act of oddly interesting characters. There's also Don Cheadle cleverly taking over the role of Stark's best friend James Rhodes (although Terrence Howard in the first film was better), there's a little Samuel L. Jackson being cool like always and there's some more Jon Favreau (more than the first film) that adds some nice comedic touches. There is a very sexy Scarlett Johansson playing another super hero named 'Black Widow' but the female characters are a little underdeveloped compared to the men. You can tell it was written by a man (actor Justin Theroux who's only other writing credit is co-writing 'TROPIC THUNDER', another Downey Jr. scene stealer); the women dialog is mostly important plot advancement stuff but with the guys 80 percent of it could have been tossed and the plot would have been intact but it's just so natural and entertaining; like real people shooting the breeze! That's the brilliance of the film! Favreau has also come pretty far as a director; he's much more polished now and knows what's most important to the film. The whole movie just has an energy to it that can't quite be described in words. It's an astonishing film going experience if you really like film!

Bad casting, bad acting, waste of production budget Yikes, just yikes",1 "This movie might be a bit overrated if you ask me. It's got decent shock value and light humor sprinkled in but overall it's just a garbled display of annoying ass Minnesota accents and a kidnapping gone awry. The acting is all top notch and so is the writing, being a southern man I guess the accents just put this one in the irritating category for me. Good film, not great. 7/10.",7 "The Boys (of all things) has some genuinely very interesting critiques of the entertainment industry, celebrity culture, religion, and sexism in the workplace. There are some really good performances especially from Antony Starr and Erin Moriarty. Most of the characters are multifaceted and entertaining to watch. The show's equivalent to superman is particularly fascinating and genuinely terrifying. The superhero commentary ranges from darkly funny, to devastating. In one episode, they take a very traditional superhero rescue scene in an unexpected direction. It might be the best scene in the show. The series is definitely not for everyone as it is very violent and sexual. The weakest aspect of the show is probably the fight scenes which aren't great (however they aren't really the focus of the series so don't really dampen the experience to badly). The ending of this first season was a little anticlimactic and effects can look a little rough sometimes (both costumes and effects look very CW). I really didn't like Jack Quaid's performance early on but he really grew on me. As someone who tried to get into the comic and hated it, this adaptation surprised me. It is definitely worth the watch, try to get past the first episode.",8 Watch now on disney+ exclusive this tv series entertained u a lot go and watch now mcu is connected to their tv series also go watch.,8 "Welcome to a new world: Rizwan's world!

It's worth watching this just for laughs And people who want to get into movie making can learn what they shouldn't do. A clue- heavy Box officer in stinky script under drunk director.",1 "This movie was advertised as a brilliant comedy that was apparently overlooked by American viewers. That is what all the promo's and commercials tell us. But they (the DVD previews) couldn't have been further from the truth, this movie did not just lack humor, it lacked any plot or story altogether. I understand the arguments of those who ""get it"", but if you are that desperate to see people wasting away their time in a depressing setting, go visit a homeless shelter. All the arguments for and against this movie seem to be about the characters' connection with the audience. Many advocates say that they can relate to the two main characters, who are obviously feeling above their current social status. The rest of us feel like we have spent two hours trying to feel sorry for people that should just get on with their lives. I personally find this movie to be an insult to people in this condition (mild to severe depression). Mocking a foreign culture, or even using it as a social backdrop for depression-related symptoms, makes this movie even worse. If you feel the absolute need to see this movie, then go ahead, but don't say that you haven't been warned.",5 "What a disappointment this movie turned out to be. First it is over 2 hours and 30 minutes long. Batman doesn't even show up in the first 45 minutes. It was too drawn out and so much stuff in it had me asking why. Also the bad guy is someone named Bane. If you don't know anything about the comics like me, Bane made no sense. Little was explained about him, did he have super human powers? It seemed like he had extra strength but the guy that played him wasn't in hulk type shape. The body type didn't go with the character. Then catwoman gets thrown in. Why, she steels some stuff and some how has contact with Bane. And Bruce Wayne is so torn up, he can't do anything in the beginning. Batman hardly does anything. And at one point Bane captures Batman, how does he get him to some desert country to put him in a pit prison, then how does Wayne get back to Gotham. It made no sense. FINAL VERDICT: There's not anything about this movie that would warrant a recommendation. I'm glad I didn't pay to see it.",4 "2 cents here, not a big deal. Pros. Great premise, interesting dark characters, nice payoff, and an endearing hook. Cons. Longer than needed heartfelt introspective scenes, slow pace, shoddy narrative that doesn't stay its course, weak main protagonist borderline cheesey.",8 "Except for the awful, offensive crapfest of an episode about church, and the weird rainbow agenda push, funny stuff! Superheroes with no rules, had this idea in high school. Glad it is amazing!",8 "Although it has a couple of clever moments, this is not a good film, and basically represents a Hollywood bereft of new ideas. First of all there was no need for a reboot of this character as the other films were very recent. Second, the film is BORING. It plods along at a very slow pace, going from one clichéd superhero scene to another, with seeming eternal dialogue in between. I know the main character is a good actor, as I liked him in ""Little Red Riding in the Year of Our Lord"". But he is given practically no range in this role. There are no other great performances either. There is very little action, except for the cliché'd, predictable fight at the end, which is basically a typical CGI sequence. I was a devoted reader of the Spider-Man comic as a kid, and it saddens me to see what he's been turned into. It would have made far too much sense for Gwen Stacy to die in this film, which is what the original character is most notorious for. But naturally they are saving that for another money-making sequel, which is becoming standard procedure.",2 "I have little to say. From start to finish, I enjoy the entirety of this movie. It's compared with James Bond and Mission Impossible, two franchises I never cared about, and makes me want to watch them. I wouldn't say it's perfect because they shouldn't have made Hydra that important of a part. They should've owned the fact that America is as dangerous as other countries for them to have that developed weapon. That fact muddles the message that Captain America learns (don't follow institutions, even Americans ones) and puts the blame exclusively ""on the dangerous others"", but still, Steve Rogers' arc keeps developing in coherent ways (something can't be said for all the others).",10 "Oh dear, I saw this at the cinema and came out saying way too long and couldn't understand half of what was said - apart from the f - word. The the lure of Netflix convinced me to watch it with my daughter and the memories came flooding back. At least this time I had the option of an early night! She couldn't even see it through to the end. Apart from the technical flaws in the film, I could not invest in the characters at all. Lady Gaga's ballsy character was eaten up by the ""machine"" and spat out. How disappointing.",3 "For a director's first massive feature film, this movie has been executed with a finesse of someone far more mature in the movie industry. The action scenes are top notch, although you cant expect anything less from the man who seems to have worn every cap the movie industry can offer: stunts, director, cinematography, sound. The result is this baby, Extraction, starring Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda from Bollywood. The detail to the action scenes, be it gun fights, car chases, hand to hand combat are a pleasure to watch. The plot itself is old and predictable but the movie is still worth seeing. Pure good action film, executed particularly well but predictable.",7 "This film seemed to have all the right ingredients - Ridley Scott, Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, together with a classic Sci-Fi premise - isolation on an uninhabitable planet. Maybe it would provide the suspense and anguish of Moon? Maybe the consciousness bending intensity of Intersetllar? Or perhaps it would be something totally unexpected? Well, turns out it WAS something totally unexpected. It was a bad re-make of Apollo 13, apparently sponsored by all of America's favourite clichés. Despite being rated higher than 2001 Space Odyssey on IMDb (thanks to the ever enlightened opinion de publique) the Martian is little more than just another blockbuster feel-good fest. There are some exciting moments and on the whole the film is well directed, except perhaps for a bizarre obsession Scott seems to have with getting an astronaut in zero gravity to float backwards diagonally between two rooms, which was as confusing as it was pointless. But after a good start, an interesting premise and an hour and a half of the same series of events repeating themselves over and over, I began to empathise strongly with Damon's feelings of perpetual boredom. After the plot comes around for about the third circle of the same thing the movie shifts gears, as if it realised it was going nowhere, and instead becomes something reminiscent of a 'GO-USA!' cheer-leading squad provided to you by coca-cola. Then, finally, after what seems like a year on Mars we are handed a big slice of USA self-congratulatory indulgence, based on the idea that science can solve everything and the human spirit of ingenuity conquers all and stereo-typical genius geeks are always socially awkward and even China loves America and blah, blah, blah, etc. Damon's character is left largely in the realm of a two dimensional marvel comic hero, with some almost funny quips, and the other characters seem little more than simply 'home of the brave' slogan spouting vehicles. Even during the end credits we're served yet more feel good factor melodrama, just in case we didn't get it yet. From the man who directed Blade Runner this is a huge disappointment, but if you want some light entertainment that's over 2 hours long then go see The Martian.",4 A movie of true beauty Action Adventure Self discovery Comedy Romance It's got it all. The only problem is I hate films with subtitles as I'm a slow reader luckily the conversations are not long and drawn out so easy to keep a pace where u can read and watch at the same time.,9 "Big budget and good acting in this comic series. Lots of boring parts, though. It would have been better as a movie. It jumps around a lot, and has lots of contrived ideas, but a couple interesting ones, as well. It's a little bit too far on the fantasy/silly side because not much of anything in it, is explained. Nothing is really resolved, but I think it's intentionally nihilistic. Not my cup of tea, but fun to watch if it's free.",5 "This film is forgettable. Sandler decided to yell every single word that left his mouth, plot annoyed me and no real likeable characters. These were my main concerns with the movie. First half of the film is terrible, rated that about 2/10. Had no real direction and everything was just way too chaotic so hard to understand what's going on. Second half is much better, I'll give it a 7/10. The film slows down in pace and you get a good idea what's happening now. Acting, minus the yelling, was good. Enjoyable. Ending, stupid. Won't ruin it, but it's pointless. Felt like I wasted my time. Back to 2/10. 5/10 overall, wasn't the worst but had too many issues.",5 "The cast is amazing. Robert Sheehan is hands down one of the most talented and funny actors I have ever seen, and the rest of of the cast isn't far behind. Eliot Page's character was incredibly well written, and their transformation was well acted. The effects are mostly pretty good. There's a few scenes in season 3 where it looks like effects were low budget, but they were edited to short scenes. That's why I gave it a 9. Otherwise it's a 10/10 #5 was great. I hope that actor goes on to some great roles. The first season started out strong and kept going. I kept seeing this pop up in my Netflix que, but the monkey made me think it was a bit too absurd to be worth watching. It's not. The talking monkey is a wonderful character and didn't have enough screen time.",9 "Ant Man and the Wasp had a lot of potential but in the end it failed to live up to its hype. This movie falls completely flat when compared to the fantastic Black Panther or the great Infinity War. The plot was boring and nothing really exciting happened. The cast of characters were very weak for a marvel movie. This movie was also lacking in action. There was way too many unfunny and annoying jokes, at time I felt like I was watching some kind of Disney movie. It's just a disappointing movie overall. This favors boring and unfunny jokes over good action and characters.",4 "Starring Sandra Bullock as a soon to be mother, Bird Box centers around a chaotic series of events caused by the presence of a malicious entity. If you see the entity, you kill yourself. Simple enough, yet not really. For some reason, every character in the film has a nervous breakdown when the entity is present, when in reality, all they have to do is not open their eyes. Nevertheless, every character in the film reacts in this over the top manner when they have to set foot outside their place of shelter. As you can probably tell, I was not the biggest fan of this film. While the concept is intriguing and some of the performances are fine, particularly from Danielle MacDonald and B.D. Wong, the film succumbs to the unfortunately typical issues you can almost expect with any bad horror film. There are about a million safer possibilities alternative to the decisions the characters make, the entity is not scary, and Sandra Bullock's character I found to be especially unlikeable and cowardly. Towards the end of the film, she makes a decision that reflects poorly on her and on the film as a whole. This character defining decision was the cherry on the sundae of my reasons for disliking this film. There are much better survival horror films out there, including 2018's A Quiet Place, that I would recommend seeing over this film.",3 "Marvels studios Avengers: Infinity War certainly lives up to the hype it generates. Now take a slow peek beneath the 'hype' and what do you find? You will see a repeat of what previous MCU chain movies offered: Slick action and stunning visuals. The producers know this mix works very well at the box office and so it comes to no surprise they apply this same formula again here. Supposedly the culmination of previous MCU movies, Avengers: Infinity War is where superheroes gather to prevent the main villain Thanos from acquiring a set of supernatural stones in order to become the most powerful being in the entire universe and beyond. With a disjointed plot, mediocre story line and poor character development for the main villain, Avengers: Infinity War falls below expectation as a standalone movie. The story line totally fails in building up the viewer's eagerness for their superheroes to give Thanos a good thrashing. (The exception maybe fanboy's for Bruce Banner) The supers are made to look as if they are a bumbling bunch, caring more for their kin than saving the entire universe. On the opposing side, Thanos is a grey brooding being waiting a chance to tell his (or it's) dull life story....yawn. Thano's screen presence doesn't invoke anything out of the viewer's emotions. No fear, anger or even sympathy; Nothing! Towards the end of the movie I thought it would have been just super if Dr. Strange opened up a portal from the 'other' alternate superhero universe for the man of steel to come and beat Thanos out of his boring stone hunting life. As of previous MCU movies, nutty one liners are a prerequisite and here in one glaring instance the scriptwriters stooped low for this. Is Avengers: Infinity war a great movie? Opinions differ on opposite ends and with respect to that, let me say that Avengers: Infinity war is not great and not even good a movie. Parents (If family values are high on your list) with young kids wanting to see this, be aware that Avengers: Infinity War has a dark underlying theme. 2 stars, one for Tom Holland and the other for Tom Vaughan-Lawlor.",2 Die hard Potter fan I am! Even I found this film rather boring!,3 "Venom: Let There Be Carnage. It's cool, but at the same time it's bad. If you liked the first movie, you'll like this one. You didn't like the first one, you're going to hate this one! In short it's a bigger and faster version of the first movie. Grade: 7.0.",6 "Marvel did it again; spent a loads of money on CGI and brought in lots of unnecessary characters for no good reason to make a blockbuster and completely ignore the script in the process. The story is full of plot holes. It was written very poorly and lacks basic logic. The film does not make any sense altogether. But I do have to give credit to the dialogues of Drax (Dave Bautista); they were extremely funny. Those are the only things I find entertaining in the entire film. Despite high ratings and metascore this film is a below average film with a crappy script. Not Recommended.",3 "Wow!! Another hit for The MCU. Marvel make hits. Kevin Feige knows his stuff! The series is a continuation of The Winter Soldier, while also being a chance to finally explore Sam Wilson, someone who I've felt was of very little consequence, until now. Each episode had me more or less jumping up and down on the couch. This series is expertly written and ties in perfectly with history. Now to all of the white supremacists complaining about this show being ""too political"", you guy's really need to do your homework; X-Men was based on the civil rights era - Malcolm X and MLK. Soooooooooo... Isaiah's story within this is so apt, given how the US treats it's discarded war ""heroes"". Just look up charles jackson french, and how he died alone, penniless despite saving the majority of his squad from being captured by the Japanese: The man swam 6-8 hours pulling a raft of his squad, in order to circumvent capture. But I'm only hearing about this this morning, after being alive for 37 years. Odd that. Looking through the blatantly fake reviews for this show, I find it ironic that, obvious white supremacists are screaming their usual cries about ""too PC... too woke..."" completely unaware that they're outing themselves as white supremacists. These people are not characterised by their intelligence... otherwise they wouldn't have been talked into committing treason by the dumbest, least educated man on planet earth. If those terrorists who'd ""stormed the capitol"" had been black or brown, there'd have been hundreds, if not, thousands of dead ""terrorists"", but not when they're white. Why? Because the sky's the limit when you're white; you could even be president(even when you're beyond a stupid, incoherent mess of a failure).",9 Most of the performances are fine if not good. The pacing and the script have a deep sickness that I doubt can be cured. The plot points and characters are fine and some of them are very interesting but everything is so rushed along that I can't care about any of it and the stuff I would like to care about isn't set up at all and just thrown in like they forgot they needed continued conflict. Way too many of the scenes are characters saying the same thing over and over in different locations like the show only has one thing to say. The original series also gripped people with immersion from set design and made the world feel lived in but from the first episode all the props and set pieces look so new and clean like they just came off an Amazon truck. Nothing is dirty or looks at all used or lived in. This is a minor gripe compared to the complete mess of the script. It's so horrendously bad I can't believe no one else seems to see this.,3 "This movie has all the makings of an amazing superhero action movie in the league of The Dark Knight, Watchmen, and even the original Iron Man movie, but unfortunately it didn't live up to that expectation. Don't get me wrong, this movie was enjoyable start to finish but it didn't have the emotional punch of the other movies mentioned. Really there is no heart here, and never once does the movie require you to think. Without the great work of Robert Downey Jr. in the role he was meant to play, this would movie would lack charm as well. Iron Man 2 is close to two hours but seems to lose the time. Whiplash (Mickey Rourke), a truly great villain for Iron Man didn't have enough presence in the film. His final scene ended up feeling fairly corny. It's hard to express everything wrong with a movie like Iron Man 2 but there just wasn't any meat here. Gwyneth Paltrow who was terrific in the first Iron Man is only allowed to play one note here until the very end. She's the party pooper to Robert Downey Jr.'s perpetual party. Don Cheadle steps into Terrance Howard's shoes as Rhodey well enough but as with every relationship in this movie, the Cheadle and Downey Jr. story is underdeveloped. Scarlett Johansson plays Downey Jr's new assistant, hired on the spot. She adds some sex appeal to the cast, but again, it feels like we didn't see very much of her, and no bathing suit scene. The main problem I have with this movie is that we don't tread any new territory. It feels like this movie just had to be made because it was going to make a lot of money. I wanted an Iron Man 2, but one that was more engaging. Jon Favreau does all he can with the uninspiring script and plays ""Happy"", comic relief and a bright spot in the movie. In the end, this is a light, fun sequel that still leaves a lot to be desired. It seemed to be filler left on the cutting room floor from Iron Man 1. Iron Man 2 will not be selected for preservation in the National Film Registry, but it's going to make a lot of money. Probably pass the 400 million domestically and maybe even scratch close to the 1 billion mark worldwide.",6 "I had very high hopes when i sat down to watch the Witcher on Netflix and I was not disappointed. Yes it has a few issues but overall it is well made, solid acting and a lot of time and energy has gone into the fighting scenes. It follows the books closely. The only thing that I felt was not optimal was the time swap scenes which could have been a bit more overt due to the fact that they switch back and forth quite a bit but it did not sway me while rating the show. IT IS WELL WORTH YOUR TIME!",9 "Interesting premise... but this movie is so convoluted that you'll want to turn it off midway through. Do it. Don't watch anything past 30 minutes or so. The thing about existentialism is that it really makes no sense. There is some since to this movie, but it's buried... and I mean deeply buried underneath a big pile of crap. Seems like this movie was written, and directed, by a bunch of 7th Graders on LSD. Weird, weird, weird. Anybody liking this movie is one messed up dude. Or dudette... whichever. Because it doesn't really matter. Nothing matters. Everything does not matter. Everywhere doesn't matter. There's no sense to anything in this universe of ours... according to this movie.",2 10/10 captivating... and then enter the autistic lady... :(,6 "Rated it 5 only for its action and well direction.. Being a Bangladeshi only problem I have is the bengali dialect the cast uses is not actually Bangla language,its a different dialect and it sounds funny.. Hope next time they would put their efforts refining these small but important section! Kudos to 'Extraction'",5 "I gave it 3 stars out of generosity because some visuals are really pretty but overall the story is almost nonexistent, stretched at least an hour and a half too much just to show off the effects with many cringy dialogues and moments. And those visuals aren't really anything new, I've seen such pretty scenes on Planet Earth that were all real. It was a fun 4D experience for the first hour or so. It's definitely too long it ends up boring. Characters are poorly written and you don't root for any of them much, so much so that the emotional scenes aren't very touching either. Hugely overrated and overpriced ticket. Would not recommend.",3 "So a handful of heroes fight all the way to the climactic end of the movie, and then they lose the chance to finish what they started. I am not going to spoil it, but watching a million CGI characters appear on both sides was like letting all the air out of the tires. All the dramatic build-up was lost when it became a billions against billions battle. Which brings up the fact that at least 90 minutes of this movie is spent on boring scenes of various Avengers feeling depressed about the death of the heroes, and going to support group meetings. We get it. The Avengers are depressed. This could have been covered in fifteen minutes or less in a group meeting. We did not need to follow each Avenger through their depressing trip down memory lane. Thank God Ant Man came back from the quantum universe and got the ball rolling!! Unfortunately, Thor becomes the punchline for jokes throughout the movie. Since Captain Marvel is the new #1 hero, they had to power down Thor by turning him into a drunken hobo. The Incredible Hulk has spent the past three movies (Thor Ragnarok, Infinity War, & this one) in permanent erectile dysfunction, and he continues to be a zero in this movie. Thor and the Hulk are just here to be the focus of comedy as has-beens. Even Bruce Banner as a scientist gets slapped down. Michael Douglas and the Pym Particles have to fix what Bruce Banner fails to do. It is a very sad way for two of Marvel's earliest and most powerful heroes to end their game. There are a lot of good moments in Endgame. Most of them happen when the small crew of Avengers is trying to find the original gems. Then the battle when it is just the small group against Thanos is excellent. It was building up to a great ending, Captain America & Iron Man defeating Thanos, against all odds. Even Thor was redeeming himself in the battle! That is how this Marvel Comics masterpiece could have ended. But they had to throw in the billions of CGI characters and turn it into a big circus act... Too bad. Less was more.",4 "And finally, Yesterday I saw the movie. What could I say ? better than the first one ? NO! Worse than the first one ? NO! The movie follows exactly the same line of the first...it's reading the second number of the same comic. The tagline of the first one is certainly ""with great powers comes great responsibility"", the tagline of the second could be ""but what comes with the power and the responsibility ?"" As the final scene of the original could predict, NOTHING GOOD for Peter: no love, no friends, no school or job satisfaction. Have the responsibility to be Spider Man means that for the rest of your life, everything pass in second sight. You can't love because you could put your lover's wife in risk, you can't have friends because the only one that you have really hates your alter-ego, you can't be the good student that you wanna be because you have to save the world. I read in a comment about the movie that you can enjoy this one only if like see your hero unmasked, unmotivated and really sad. Well, is this a lack of the movie ? NO. because if you read the comic, that' s exactly how Peter's life is described. He's a very unlike character and the movie must not forget this! And in fact, doesn't forget. I, m not saying that this is a perfect movie (a couple of scenes could be avoided) but it's a really good comic movie. The soul of the comic is perfectly transported on the screen. This is the way that we wanna see Spider Man because that's the real one! Maybe the best reviews comes from Marvel fan just because they really appreciate every joke and every reminder of the comic filled in the movie but I really think that, for the other ones, it remains a very enjoyable picture. I repeat, there are lacks but as in the first one. Maybe sometimes Tobey Maguire isn't well acting, maybe sometimes Peter's lack of fortune could results too exaggerated but, I always repeat that this is the only one way the show the ""real"" Peter Parker, the one that you can find in every comic book. Vote: 8 of 10",8 "This series is a new twist on the current genre of Superhero movies. The premise is that things are not always what they seem to be, and the Heroes, like everyone else, are not perfect. Unfortunately, the series is plagued by poor acting, poor editing that fails to provide the necessary continuity for the viewer to be able to understand the sequence of certain events, and an annoying (and loud sound track). The special effects are very good. The end result is a very mediocre but somewhat entertaining product that does engage, but not to the extent of binge watching. Amazon is trying hard to find a breakout success in its streaming lineup. This is not it! The only Oscar or Emmy this might win would be for a Series with the DUMBEST ending ever! Let's see what the second season brings!",6 "So so bad. Bad characters, bad acting, bad back stories. The only thing I like is the ""movie feel"" effects of the footage. everything's feels out of place and cringy. Seriously can't understand what people above the age of 12 see in this. Have you seen other non sitcom shows? What's wrong with you people? Giving it a 9 or 8?? It's ridiculous.",2 "First of all, this is my very first IMDB review, and I did so because I think most of the reviews are skewed and does not reflect the show in a proper way. I am a die-heart witcher fan. I have played the games so I understand why the casting is questionable, even put aside the Slavic origin. My problem is, the characters simply does not reflect their personalities and we all imagined them to look like in the book series, even for those who have not touched the games. All the casting aside, the writing of this series is horrendous. I truly think people who have not read the book series or play the games would simply get lost during the first 4-5 episodes. The way these story lines unfolds is misleading, given the chronicle and geological gap between them. Especially for those who are not familiar with the witcher universe, it could be devastating. At least most of my friends found them unable to keep track of what is actually happening. All these aside, I simply cannot believe this is a high budget show. The vfx feels cheap (the lighting and overall scale of Brokilin forest, the dragon, and the jinn scene). I got a feeling that all the scenes are played out in a way that does not reflect the scale of how they were described in the books. The actions and fighting sequences are not bad, but lots of the scenes happened in the book are dumbed down in the show, in a bad way. I never had the feeling while watching GOT or TLOR. Maybe my expectation was set to0 high, but given the budget, this should not have happened. Overall, I think this is a very mediocre show and can no way compete with the likes of game of thrones or even vikings. I am immensely disappointed because the books were so good and this could be so much more than just Henry Caviil's one man show.",4 "So, its finally here although not anticipated as BvS but it was anticipated to be better. The best part of the movie is direction by Russo Brothers, they have done a great job just like they did in Winter Soldier.It becomes really difficult in a multi starer movie to give every person there screen time and memorable moments, but Russo brothers have managed to do it for every character. The story is good, plot line is good , you understand why every character take there decision.And special thanks for Spiderman,finally he is close to his comic portrayal, talkative and funny. He is the Spiderman we need and deserve.Finally its time that Black Widow has its own stand alone movie. Go for the movie you will not be disappointed, its so entertaining and good you can go for second time. Marvel apology accepted for Iron Man 3 and Age of Ultron.",8 "If you have kids or were once one, do not miss this movie. Seeing the first is a pre-requisite imo. My 11 yr old daughter agrees. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Not for the CGI, but for the story and characters. Wonderful. Right up there with some of the best I've seen. Certainly the best for this type of movie. An interesting footnote. As my daughter and I were leaving the movie, the crew was getting ready to clean up. As we passed them, one said, ""see ya tomorrow"". Great finish to a great father/daughter experience. Oh, and I think my daughter is convincing my wife that she needs this experience. Today in fact.",8 "The ""hero"" guy looks like Lenny Bruce. But Lenny Bruce was funny. This guy is not. I was able to endure about seven minutes of this movie. Then, I fast-forwarded. The action seemed to be nonexistent. And I just don't want to adoringly gaze at this dude's face, for two hours and ten minutes.",2 "that is what the entire bollywood industry should do - bow to this movie. all these years bollywood has been churning out me too movies with fake western wannabe characters and music and dance and I practically stopped watching this cr@p every since I was around 16. GoW shows what real authentic Indian cinema can be, what it should have been - mind bogglingly rich in colors and smell and taste and overwhelming - just like India. I think this movie surpasses City of God in artistic value and screenplay. If Slumdog got an Oscar, this should get two. But then again, the Oscar committee may not quite appreciate what is essentially a very Indian backdrop. Actually to tell the truth - North Indian, more specifically Bihari, UP flavor. But who cares. The filmfare awards committee should take back all the FF awards given out till date and hand over to GoW. No hyperbole. This movie (should) redefines Indian cinema. Nevermind the average reviews of all the paid reviewers in Indian media. They are about as intelligent as the rest of the bollywood. This movie is AWESOME.",9 "Great movie. Getting ""linked in"" dream states which has its own flavor of reality/whats real and not real. Good idea but it borrowed ideas from other movies like The Matrix, Surrogates and probably others. I remember watching Strange Days 13 years ago and now we have all these movies which are using the idea of getting ""linking in"". Its cool and all but i wonder what the next one will be. I think it could have been crunched to 2hrs instead of 2.25hrs. There were many scenes that dragged and hopped around. But ya i understand the concept of the movie is highcore scifi and perhaps it had to be made that way for people to get whats going on. Its definitely one of those movies that keeps you engaged, intensely.",7 "I liked Dr. Strange movie one, I didn't enjoy this. It might be be because I haven't watched Wandavision or that I see time-hopping as a cheap and easy 'get out of jail free card' that trivialises any plot, I really don't know. What I do know is, I'm finding myself cheering for the bad guys more and more often 🤷‍♂️",4 "As a massive fan of the first season I also really enjoyed the follow-up, but I had this sneaking suspicion it would move in a direction I wasn't keen on, and that suspicion was confirmed ... Now, I'm not saying I hated the direction taken. Part of me was smiling and having ""nawww"" feelings by the time the last episode credits were rolling ... But ... I also felt like it ruined the relationship at the same time. That it was something tacked on to appease those desperately wanting it to go in that direction. I know, you're probably saying 'how can you like and dislike it at the same time?' - and If I'm being honest with you. I don't fully know myself. I'm conflicted about the whole thing. But there is enough for me to articulate (it's not the whole complaint but it is the most obvious complaint). The thing is, the book was pretty specific that angels aren't humans and don't have the same desires as humans. And I feel that Gaiman went against this just to please one group of society ... the argument is that that group of society has been treated poorly and deserves more content aimed at them. And I agree. But there are two things that bother me there. The first is that they've changed a fundamental aspect of who angels are in that universe. The second is that in doing so it actually took from another group of people (Aces) who have essentially had almost every single thing taken away from them, especially in these current times. Giving to an under-presented people by taking away from a more under-represented people feels worse somehow. I actually find it disturbing that modern times seems to have repressed the friendship spectrum. We've progressed in saying that love isn't binary and is a complex spectrum but simultaneously then regulated friendship to a binary system. It's bizarre. Either that or the average person cannot process the concept of a plutonic friendship ... and I find that thought even more disturbing. And to me (as a partial ACE) Crowley and Aziraphale was such a pure and beautiful friendship. It was an example of taking multi-levelled friendships back out of the binary box and putting it into the complex category it should be, and showing how wholesome and beautiful a plutonic and deep friendship is ... and season 2 just threw that out the window. That might be a fist-pumping cheer from some people, but it was a gut-wrenching punch to the gut for me. Outside of the shift in relationships, the whole season had a different feel to it, and my feelings on that are complex in itself. Season 2 is a different beast. But I guess that's what happens when two voices of one story become one voice. I had mixed feelings throughout. I also didn't care for the ending. It felt off. Aziraphale's final moments felt off (he is still great and my favourite character but I thought the whole Metatron discussion was not him). There was a Matrix feeling to it. Season 2 is different in the same way that Matrix Reloaded was very different to the original. Both originals were good open stand-alones and both went into a season 2 that had the awkward two-parter split. But at the end of the day, Neil Gaiman has more of a say than me and he chose to do this. He chose a complete change in tone and he chose to make a certain group of people happy and give them something. So who am I to complain? This review sounds like I hated it and was wholly unhappy. But I want to express that I still liked it. Hell, some of it I thought was better than season 2 ... but the change in tone has me uneasy. The shift in character relationships makes me feel left out (but I don't hate it either) and I'm sitting here feeling like they're making the same mistake of making it up as they go along. And that doesn't make a final product worthy of cult status and regular rewatches years down the track. I like it, but I don't see me returning to it year after year. And the thing about sequels is that they can diminish the joy of the first as well. Also, the absence of Frances McDormand was deeply felt.",8 "Overall, I felt that it was good and I felt entertained by the end of the series, BUT, it felt....done before, specifically by The Dark Adventures of Sabrina. Same teenage angst, problems with the popular kids, secret societies...it's Wednesday Friggin Addams, I expected something different from the rest, much like Wednesday herself. On a side note Catherine Zeta Jones, while picturesque and visually appealing has ZERO screen chemistry with Guzman. Luis Guzman as Gomez was phenomenal, while he didn't look like the Gomez that I grew up with (the movie franchise), I totally bought him in the role. Jones, however, acted as if she were on Fear Factor and being covered in snakes while lying in a tank every time he touched her or tried to interact romantically with her. I honestly don't remember her being that poor of an actress, perhaps she is scarred from being groped by men she views as repulsive?",7 "I did not know that Bradley Cooper directed this movie until my fiance told me in the last part. Then it made sense, it is a big commercial for his ego. However Lady Gaga did act well and the dog was cute.",2 "The show is basically twilight but a lot better , with demon and witches .",9 "How did they screw that up so bad. You can easily make out the lines were the plastic is glued together in the sword handles and helmits. Also really poor acting and scenes were dozens of people are being killed by sword and the blood magicaly dissapears. (The fight scene with the porcupine headed prince) where did all the bodies and blood go, not a spec on the costumes either. Very dissapointing",1 "Interesting plot, held my attention throughout most of the movie, although rather long. didn't care for the excessive violence. not sure it was oscar worthy.",5 "Yet another movie 'correcting' young people's behaviours and feelings towards patriotism - liberal social engineering at it finest - and worst. With so many more examples of where Patriotism is a good thing, liberals still portray all Nationalism is if it is Nazis, USSR or Nth Korea. When I watch the World Cup (football) or the Olympics, I want the person of my Country to win - that is an example of when Patriotism is a good thing. Dont waste your time or money unless you are a progressive liberal in which case this is a perfect echo chamber movie.",2 Watched the first episode and I liked it. A bit. But not really. Feels boring but might turn out good. I'm not sure yet.,7 "Film with a fairly banal idea and already seen but with a masterful acting interpretation. The film has many nice and funny points and many also deep and reasoning, too bad for the blunders that there are in some points that impoverish the film a bit.",7 "Just watched the series one more time and I'm amazed one more time how good everything is. There are not many works where you can say nothing bad about, this is one of them. Music, writing, characters, animations, story, everything is incredible. Something you can watch with your friends and kids a like. Makes you laugh, makes you cry and after some time you feel the need to watch it again. I hope the same team will make something like this again.",10 "Tom Hiddleston is great... the end! This series is not up to Marvel standards. It's a confusing mess. I have seen every Marvel movie, and watched both Wanda Vision, and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. I was really looking forward to this and so very disappointed. Don't waste your time.",3 "I did not really expect much here , but I have to admit I was blown away! Nice tight story, complex but not in a ""complex just to seem complex ""(like pretty much all of Tarantino's crap) kind of way. Plenty of action. Steamy without being too gratuitous. But most of all, this film really make me appreciate Jennifer Lawrence. I've been luke warm on her up until now; but this woman can ACT!",9 "This review won't stop anyone seeing this movie but I'm gonna put it on here anyway. I'd read a lot of hype for this movie, mostly on IMDb and from friends, and really wanted to enjoy this. I did not. Minus points: The plot is so predictable I don't even have to spoil it for you: just watch the first ten minutes. I didn't care about any of the characters at all, and the director decided to give the (actually interesting and engaging) romance between two characters 1 out of the 11 songs and about 5 minutes of screen time. Most of the lines didn't make a shred of sense or were interrupted by random songs (which all sounded like trashy 2013 Top 40 chart fodder - absolutely insufferable) and the direction was awful. Plus points: Loved the dancing. The costumes/sets/makeup were good. The acting was alright. The cinematography was passable. The popcorn in the cinema was pretty decent. If you enjoyed it, good for you. But I hope you can see my point of view on this.",3 "There are flashes of a good, subversive and genuinely adult spy thriller buried beneath a dour layer of incredibly slow, self-serious monotony and it's kind of a shame since the promising ideas, occasional uncomfortable moments and outbursts of painful violence all point to a piece that slots into a gap in the market for a mature, slightly difficult blockbuster of this sort. Unfortunately, 'Red Sparrow (2018)' falls into the trope-laden pitfalls of its genre on multiple occasions and always lets its forced-feeling, yet seemingly obvious, downbeat tone get in the way of its overly long, overly complicated story and that's why it just isn't all that entertaining. That, and the fact that it becomes genuinely boring when it feels like it's been on for far longer than its already stretched 140 minutes. 6/10",6 "I already know the story and the characters, and I have to say I appreciated how the authors of this serie managed to build it. That said, this is more of a feedback for them so that they'd know the parts that I didn't like: 1. Nilfgaardian armors are terrible, truly truly terrible. I don't really know how you could accept something like that. 2. Dryads: they've basically nothing of the Dryads from the books or the games, I understand that you had to compromise but that's a very poor and cheap compromise. 3. Yennefer: perfect start, but the way you closed her ""characterisation"" could have been better. So for the 1. and 2. I hope the budget for the next seasons would allow you to have a more balanced production quality, which is high in some places but discomforting in others. That said, keep up the good work ;)",9 "This is not an easy review to write. I feel that it needs to be broken down into components: Plot / Script 5 As another reviewer stated Lost in Space is more Fi, than Sci. A colonization attempt goes wrong and the Robinsons and around 70 others are stranded on a earth-like planet. Some typical Scifi stuff. Every episode there is a challenge to overcome... one day its some native carnivore, another day fuel shortages etc. Typical Scifi stuff. The overall plot moves relatively slowly as the Robinsons and Co overcome these challenges. Unfortunately there are parts where some simple script changes could have made the plot make so much more sense, and there are some gaping holes, especially when it comes to the Science part. But it really has been tuned to a family orientated audience, and not to hardcore Scifi Fans. CGI & Audio 8 The CGI and audio for this series is above average. Some scenes are truly amazing. I have no idea where it was filmed but my guess is that it was in the US northwest and probably another spot in eastern California. Being that so many films are filmed in those locations and I can tell even though I have never been to these locations are the marks down, as although some scenes feel completely alien, others feel way too earth-like which kind of suspends belief. Acting and Characters 6 Generally fine. All the Robinsons have clear personality traits. The laidback treat-the-kids-like-adults father, the strong minded Mother, The child Genius Doctor ( Who is said to be 18 years old in the show and is a qualified Doctor - which of course is one of the harder courses of study. Perhaps 19 or 20 would have been more believable), The Cheeky Writer and the Far-Too-Smart-for-his-age Will. When watching this though my biggest disappointment is with the casting of Parker Posey as Doctor Smith. Here you have potentially an amazing complex character. A lawless criminal who is struggling in a new world between her old criminal ways, self preservation, Her accosted identity as a Psychiatrist, and a growing bond between the Robinsons. You could have almost based the whole series around this amazingly rich character to where people can understand her, sympathize with her but disagree with some actions she takes. That is if it were casted correctly. But instead Parker Posey overacts it, turning Dr Smith into almost a character you just dont want to see at all. I dont know if she just struggles with playing villains but its overacted and unbelievable. Also please please please fire the person responsible for dressing her up to look like Fagen from Oliver in the scene with her sister. Overall it is watchable, in a fun family easy watching hope-the-Robinsons-die kind of way, but you wont get any Sciencey Fictiony goodness that you get from The Expanse or Colony with this one. ;",4 "What a dull film, two hours watching a bunch of extras stood around on a beach. The usual British bashing, poorly portrayed as either cowards or mindless and paranoid. There is no story, no likable or relatable characters. There's little action, tension or depth, no one seems in any great rush (boats just sit around, drinking tea waiting to get sunk. The disjointed time frames are not clever but annoying. It's so cheap too hardly any boats, five planes and crappy explosions, beautiful blue sky and a lack of effects. No one hardly says a word, it seems so amateur. The last 10 minutes is OK. The actual story could have been so much better, with a good script and director. I think of great war films ""Saving Private Ryan"", ""Hacksaw Ridge "", ""Fury"" and regret that this is a missed opportunity.",1 "While somewhat intellectually stimulating in its classically covert aspects, Red Sparrow contains many highly vulgar scenes including a rape. It perpetuates a sense of normalcy for these types of wrongdoings and a sense that only a mastermind like the main character could get revenge for such violations. No matter the era or culture this film was attempting to capture, the way this story was presented was absolutely disgusting. I think the cons vastly outweigh the pros on this film and I don't recommend watching this for entertainment.",2 "It always amazes me when a producer/director can pack so much quality film into a mere two and a half hours with so much gusto and still maintain the gist of a historical and inspirational true story. Great cinematography combined with pitch perfect (location shoots in Italy) LeMans style car racing and an audio sound that makes you feel like you are at the track side with the roar of the engines and the squeal of rubber burning. It stars a great cast and the film is over almost as quick as one lap of the LeMans race track. Vrooom Vroooom Vroooom",7 "The more I see 'Modern Family', the more I fall in love with 'Life In Pieces'. Modern Family is horrible, boring, unrealistic, unbearable at times. Very overrated.",6 "It's a fun ride. Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson play off of each other really well. Also, Sylvie is a cutie patooty.",7 It's very boring very slow and it not an accurate depiction of history Find something better to do with your time than watch this,1 "Although I'm not an invested DC fan/Batman fan, I'm an invested film fan. I thought personally on my first watch, it didn't live up to my expectation. The first half felt slow and didn't grab my interest, although Tom Hardy as Bane seemed an exciting addition in theory, I found the muffled yet obviously altered volume of his voice a little too distracting in places. Ultimately, this villain didn't have me too scared, he lacked in character development, but made up some of this through Hardy's performance. The second half of DKR was a lot more entertaining and watchable for me. Much more exciting plot and excellent conclusion. Maybe a second watch through may change my mind - but on first impressions.... don't believe the hype completely.",6 "The professional reviewers loved this movie (should have been my first clue). Kept waiting for it to get interesting/good. Then the final credits ran. ""Special Features"" are very self-serving and added nothing to the presentation.",1 "Fantasy nonsense aimed at teenagers, young adults and Harry Potter fans. High action opening scene made me anticipate a reasonable film ahead, unfortunately, the plot quickly dives into GCI confusion and chaos. I'm not a big Harry Potter fan and found it hard to follow but also relentlessly boring. My wife is a huge HP fan but was disappointed, even told me she fell asleep! So ... in summary, this is yet another prequel to the first instalment that I didn't much like either. I only decided to watch for my wife's sake. This film is actually worse than the first spinoff and is simply an overlong set-up for yet another (third) film.",3 Charlie Cox performance is osm and intresting storyline .,8 "I don't understand why so many users find this movie amazing, it's alright. Nothing really special, effects are cool, acting is ok. There is so much cringe in some of the scenes. Standard is so low these days because of all those superhero movies... Movie is 6, 7 at max... -5 stars for lgbtqtv agenda.",2 "This 2023 release is a beautifully literate and emotionally dexterous film from screenwriter and first-time director Cord Jefferson. He explores the hypocrisy of the liberal elite in publishing stereotypical ""black"" street books and marketing them as serious literature as a means of absolution. He recruited a superb cast headed by Jeffrey Wright in his strongest role as English professor and flailing writer Thelonious ""Monk"" Ellison, a classic misanthrope who out of resentment of the racial politics, pens a ""black"" book under a pseudonym and finally achieves the commercial success he was craving. Needless to say, he doesn't find redemption much less happiness from this feat, but Jefferson infuses a sharp blend of comedy and well earned pathos in Monk's self-discovery journey. The supporting players play their rich roles with vigor and heart - Sterling K. Brown as Monk's openly gay brother, Tracee Ellis Ross as their resentful sister, Erika Alexander as Monk's no-nonsense romantic interest, Leslie Uggams as Monk's mother slowly giving into dementia, Issa Rae as a competitive author who has succumbed to the racial politics Monk abhors.",9 "I could only watch about 20 minutes then I turned it off. Noisy, loud, chaotic, it is possible I was in the wrong mood to watch this, I may try again later in life.",2 "the movie came in 2004 and was bashed by the so called main-stream critics. Someone called it krishi-darshan on doordarshan a lot called it a documentary. The truth is that Indian audience was not ready for this film in 2004 and they are not ready in 2014!!! The film has now grown cult status amongst it's followers for very simple reasons. The film is very very close to reality and therein lies the strength of it's 3 hour long narrative. Every scene makes sense and some of the dialogues are are top-notch. After lagaan director ashutosh gowarikar takes the story telling to new heights.what makes movie watching more enjoyable is fantastic music by AR Rahman and brilliant lyrics by javed akhtar. i have watched it many times and can still watch it again and again, if you are looking for soulful cinema, swades is the pick for you",10 "I will admit, reviewing this anime will be hard since the first 20-ish episodes are by far some of the best anime episodes of all time but after a certain episode, the show just lost my interest. I'm gonna keep it breif-the show is a 10/10 from eps. 1-20ish and and a 3/10 from 20ish to the end. The last episode is a dissappointment, certain plotlines lack, and the feeling of the show completely changes that left a sour taste by the time the show ends. The first episodes though... FIRE. I loved nearly 95% of the show from those episodes and if those final episodes wouldn't happen, I would've put it up there with Cowboy Bebop and other classic animes, but it doesn't deserve the spot of one of the best of all time. Though it is certaintly a must-watch if you plan on becoming a weeb unlike me who has only seen about four animes.",6 "I love two Martins but Selena just can't act. She is just saying the lines with a monotone voice. Premise is good and it had a potential, but with some other female character, in her 40's ... it would have been a way better.",4 "Big dissapoitmen. Poor decorations. Cheap effects. Lats episode was just to much. Why you don't hire somebody who was responsible for GoT or Lotr? Movies where was perfes atmosphere. Here is completely lack of character. Geralt is very good. Jaskier perfect but rest of cast.... joke. Political correctness is more important for Netflix than being faithful to book. Last thing, sound is recorded in studio and always sounds like recorded inside small room.",2 "I reserve ten out of tens for two very unique circumstances. The first is they do something so revolutionary with the craft, acting, and writing that it just blew me away. Godfather 2, Oldboy the original, 12 angry men, Jurassic Park. It can cover a wide range. The other time, the only ever time I give a movie a 10/10 is when it gives you the best possible version of what type of movie it is you agreed to watch. This is the best Marvel movie ever made. Not the biggest or most expensive, but the best movie. The espionage, spy craft, fight scenes, action and heart in the movie is pitch perfect. Casting Redford in this role when they are giving thanks for his spy thrillers of his past is chef kiss. Hope this helps I don't want to spoil anything just encourage it.",10 "Go an read The Colour Out of Space, by H.P. Lovecraft. Same elements but with a coherent plot.",2 The movie has nothing concrete to show! Boycott bollywood is trending for a reason. Waste of time n money.,1 "Not as good as the first one, but still very entertaining with some very cool action moments. good character story for tony stark played awesomely by RDJ. and i love that sam rockwell is in this. another great talent to add to the MCU cast. (5 viewings, 4/15/2020)",7 One of the most boring movies I have ever watched. All these good reviews they must have watched a different movie than I did. Just a bunch of crap and talking which you can hardly understand cuz one guy talks with his mouth full the whole movie and then a lot of Italian. Just a really suckkkky movie.,3 "Very dark,psychologically intense ,brooding show...Just how I like them) At the beginning I had some trouble adjusting to Hannibal not being Antony Hopkins ...Even though I love Mads Mikkelsen in all his movies...But after couple of episodes I really started to appreciate what he brought to the table,pun intended) Great actor's performances,good stories,overall great show for people dark minded ,like me)Enjoy!",8 I absolutely love the show and can't wait for more seasons to emerge. I just really hate how starlight is constantly narrating the show in season 2. It is super annoying and feel like I'm listening to a book instead of an actual show.,9 Do not watch this series waste of time waste of time,1 "Very slow at time, subtle vocal put me to sleep. I was expecting a bit more, He should've took out more criminals while he had the chance. Maybe I might be comparing more with the joker movie by Joaquin phoenix . I see a little similarities especially towards the end where he puts the finger to his head mimicking a gun blowing his brain off, with similar loneliness lifestyle. Also noticed lamp table covered with medicines- I don't think those are Tylenol . About to watch the movie ""the king of comedy"" From 1980 to Bob Robert De Niro , also similar to the joker movie.",6 "Where to begin? Good heavens!! The movie fails miserably in every aspect. Poor build up, poor action sequences, poor acting, poor script, music completely out of context. Tempo!!! hell there is no tempo! Man! people are over-dosing on this Super-hero crap. And they keep getting worse and mindless. There's absolutely nothing to write home about. If you haven't watched this film you can give it a pass. You won't be missing much. A 2/10. Not all of the audience are imbeciles. Self indulgent piece of trash. Waste of time and money.",2 "Plot: David Budd, an army war veteran and current London Metropolitan Police Sergeant, is assigned duty to protect the Home Secretary Julia Montague. She wants to implement a stricter version of the Act involving surveillance and investigation thereby gaining hostility within the party as well as common public. They develop a clandestine affair and she gets eventually assassinated. David becomes a primary suspect - how he clears the name and finds the real assassin is the rest of the series..... What makes it an edge of the seat thriller? Interesting screenplay: There's never a dull moment in the series. right from the word Go, it's filled with intriguing, suspenseful and tantalizing episode. It allows the audience to speculate with it's twist and turn keeping you at the edge of the seat. It has it's nail biting moments along with amazing political conspiracy. Technically strong: The production values of the series is so good as if it's like a movie. Strong performances, good music, excellent cinematography accentuates the flow of the series. It happens in late October and the gloomy weather adds to the muddiness of the plot. It's power-packed with just 6 episodes of 60-70 mins each. One good thing, which might be critically panned by few, is that it never ventures or explores the depth of the characters and relies on viewer's intelligence to presume the intricacies of the lead characters It's a perfect action drama fit for a weekend or overnight watch and you will not be disappointed. It contains some matured content and hence not suitable for children!!!",8 Just wasted 2.5 hours and 47 Euro on this vehicle. Some attempts for humour were made - I told better jokes when I was 12. The acting.... Wooden and too many attempts to make us emotional- it didn't work. Wait for it to come on Netflix or disney+ so you don't have to pay to see it and can stop viewing at any moment.,3 "I wasn't a big fan of the first movie, and couldn't help but laugh when that first trailer hit the web. But then people started saying that the movie was so much fun that I got a bit interested. It wasn't. I can barely remember anything from it. Both these movies just seem like a soulless cash grab from Sony, trying to milk their Spider-man license as much as they can. To make a Venom movie without Spider-man makes no sense at all, and it even makes less sense that, apparently, people are willing to pay to see these movies as both were hits. This one is, at least, short. By the time the inevitable third movie comes I'm sure I won't remember anything about this one.",4 "I have grown watching adams family in black and white,amazing,my favourite character was Wednesday,the actress is a Wednesday,but the show not,i watch it till the end,waiting to see something that Wednesday is ,her apathy,all what Wednesday was,but she is not an Investigator,its like harry potter,thats what that show is,the uncle looks so stupid here,even the father,i hope if there will be,a second seazon,will not look like this,shame for what Wednesday was,if people grown as i did,with the idea that adams family was,in black and white,will be disappointed,younger generation may like it,sorry Netflix,you screw another great story..",3 "Sherlock is a modern-day TV series adaption of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's book series, produced by the BBC. Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, they do an impressive job of bringing historical characters into a contemporary setting. Each story is recreated visually into a one and a half-hour episode, with three episodes per season and one special. The first episode I watched happened to be the scrapped Pilot, seeing as I had bought a Bali copy of Season One and Two and it was a part of the list of episodes instead of being added as a special feature. I still believe to this day that I became so invested in Sherlock so quickly was because of the unaired pilot. There was something about the plot-holes and cringe-worthy content that made me giggle and want to watch it again and again. Nevertheless, even if I hadn't watched the Pilot first, the pure genius of the show would have been enough to draw me in. From the fast-paced deductions of Sherlock Holmes, to the caring, humanising nature of John Watson, the show contained murder cases that left you on the edge of your seat, deductions that made you wide-eyed with awe, and a balanced amount of comedy to relieve some of the tension. The casting choices only added to the perfection of the show and were superb; Benedict Cumberbatch's interpretation of Sherlock Holmes was nothing short of captivating. He completely transformed himself to fit into the role, which often threw me for a loop when I remembered that Holmes wasn't a real person, simply a fictional character being portrayed by an actor. There was a perfect balance that Cumberbatch created; he made Holmes into a human, who was irritating and made mistakes, whilst maintaining that superior knowledge Holmes has, with an additional element that made you feel for Holmes. Cumberbatch's colleague, Martin Freeman, absolutely smashed his role as Doctor John Watson. On top of the usual assistance that Watson provides Holmes, Freeman made Watson his own strong, independent character. The typical natural charm and sarcasm Freeman brings to his roles were not left scarce with Watson. The chemistry between Cumberbatch and Freeman was evident from the get-go; the choice to pair them together couldn't have been made any better. Alongside Freeman and Cumberbatch was a beautiful cast of memorable names, including Una Stubbs (Mrs. Hudson), Rupert Graves (D.I. Lestrade), Andrew Scott (Jim Moriarty) and Amanda Abbington (Mary Morstan). Every single cast member slotted into their role with ease. Much like with Cumberbatch, you often forgot that these people were actors, not real life versions of the characters they portrayed. Nothing ever felt forced or unnatural; everything gelled and flowed with genuine ease. The introduction of Mary Morstan, John Watson's love interest, brought an interesting aspect to the show. Her character helped to reunite and evolve the relationship between Watson and Holmes. I thoroughly believe and stand by the idea that without Mary's character, the show wouldn't have been able to progress properly. However, she was quickly turned from an ordinary, uncomplicated character, to a liar with a dark past and ulterior motives. Mary was portrayed in a light unfair to both her character, and as a supporting character alongside Holmes and Watson. There certainly should have been other ways to carry on the storyline without the eventual change of personality. In many an interview, it was often said by Cumberbatch, Freeman and the creators of the show, that Sherlock as a whole is about the relationship between Holmes and Watson. Whether platonic, romantic or simply as workmates, the whole show revolves around them and how they go about day-to-day life in extra-ordinary situations. The addition of the other characters was to help continue the story and portray the relationship between the main characters in a new light. If that is the purpose, why was Mary turned into a despicable person? It makes no sense. Of course, when something goes up, it must eventually come down. This was proven through the turn of Mary's character, and during season four, where the flow and meaning of show seemed to be lost in translation between the creators and viewers. The climax of the show was like a car crash; as bad as it was, you couldn't look away. By season four, logic was thrown out of the window. The show was still invigorating, but for completely different reasons. It was no longer because I enjoyed the plotline, but because I was wondering where they were going to take the show from there. The last episode of season four made me cringe with embarrassment, cower in fear, and cry in sadness. It is not an unknown fact that Steven Moffat often loses control of his storylines when given too much power, and Sherlock was no exception. He grabbed the show by the throat and shook it until it gargled out some garbage that he took as gospel. In all honesty, you could watch the final episode by itself and it would make sense as a stand-alone film. There was still connection to the previous episodes, but it felt forced and unnatural, much like a last minute thought. I was left wanting a follow up episode, just to calm my nerves and cool down the adrenaline that had been released into my system; instead, I was left stale and cold. The bright, powerful show that I started with was destroyed by the last episode. All in all, Sherlock was a good show. The amount jokes and fan connections that were created through the show were unbelievable - you can still find so many fans and interactions, even after the show was put on ""hiatus"" for a few years. It can't be denied, even with all the episodes and moments that weren't enjoyable, there are still many more moments that overpower the bad. It's my favourite show of all times, and nothing could change that opinion. Picking Sherlock amongst all the other shows was the best decision of my life.",9 What an unenjoyable movie to watch. It's difficult to connect with the characters. The movie is just Adam Sandler screaming the entire time. Really wish we had picked something else to watch tonight. Stopped it less than halfway through.,3 "Six episodes in, I have yet to be entertained by one. The concepts are awful. They're not interesting unless you're a die hard fan boy of Marvel comics. For the rest of us very casual fans, give us something. I've been bored on all six episodes I've seen so far and the seventh is what if Thor was an only child. So what? These are not engaging premises at all. Again, I assume the fanboys are eating it up simply because it's Marvel but I'm bored still and don't want to be, I want to like this show. I LOVE the animation and the voice actors. Give me something.",5 "Brilliant. Beautiful. Out of all the comic book to movie cross overs, Sam Raimi has done the best with the Spider-Man films. This sequel is obviously higher budget than the first one and thus, I think, is slightly better. Also, the second film doesn't have to plod through the story of how Spider-Man got his powers so you can cut right to the action. The actors are wonderful (save for the ridiculous Kirsten Dunst) and the writers are to be commended on their ability to remain close to the Spider-Man storyline while still delivering a themed, beginning-to-end film that doesn't leave things too loose in the end. This movie knocked my socks off. The down side? I have to wait for Spider-Man 3! Argh!",10 "After ""The Quiet Place"" and ""The Bird Box"" the next movie in these series would probably demonstrate how people die by smelling a fragrance. For example, a kill code hidden in human anatomy which is triggered by smelling an Odor or a special radio frequency sequence could be utilized by an villain teenager to revenge on bullies.",7 "Okay, first of all are you serious? What is wrong with you? How could you mess this up? I mean there's a base that you should follow like books and the game, but you clearly just want to make social drama that's piggybacking on the respect that this lore has achieved. Furthermore, please help me understand why do you think you should do this? I mean do you enjoy ruining stories that are not your own? Is it that you thought you can do better? Jesus Christ, have you even tried to speak to a fan loyal to the lore? Of course no, because everyone would have told you that this is just so unnecessary. I hope that the crew that managed to ruin this lore, never works again. Please do not let them be a part of any other respected story! Henry did the right thing by leaving, congratulations on not being a part of this fan bait.",1 "I decided to give this movie a go after seeing it in the #2 spot in the IMDB top 250 list. This movie establishes the characters well, and all of the acting in this movie seemed top notch, with even small character roles being portrayed convincingly throughout the film. Unfortunately, a large portion of the film contained long scenes that caused me to rapidly lose attention or become sleepy. The excessive amount of time (eg. The first 30 mins at the wedding) does not do well to set the pace of the film - instead lulling the audience into a dozy stupor in which many viewers would be tempted to jump on their phone. The notable parts of this movie are the parts where action happens: the tense encounter with the police chief, the scene at the boom gates, the emotional garden scene with the don/grandson. These are the noteworthy parts of the film where the cast are finally given a chance to flex their talents. Unfortunately, I have to agree with many other low reviewer's summaries when I say this movie is overrated. While it may have been a great movie in the 1970's, or even 1980's, this movie is less likely to earn a 10 star review in 2021, and more likely to give you a three hour nap on the sofa.",3 "To be honest it's worth watching especially for younger viewers but OK for adults too. The effects are good but go over the top sometimes and the acting is alright for a mostly young cast, But the thing that lets it down is lack of suspense it hasn't got that can't wait for the next episode factor to it. Give it a go you might enjoy it . P:S The girl who plays 11 will be a big star one day.",8 I am a 28 year old adult and i really love the fantasy genre you know i was just looking at the IMDb database for the best the best fantasy series of all time and i stumbled upon the avatar the last airbender series i have no interest in a cartoon but after watching couple of episodes i was like totally speechless this is not a cartoon this is something very big and it's such a specially designed series which takes turn over a period of each episode so you know my own request to the developers of this beautiful series is thats please continue the last airbender you know how the main characters like ang and zoko and the other characters....n FYI legend of Korra sucks big time its not asequel to TLA,10 "This show easily has the most unlikeable characters in a TV show ever, and I get that's the point with the Seven. But the problem is that this show is so black and white. The characters for the Seven are just bad. There is no complexity to it or anything, they are all just awful, unlikeable and people that just are painful to see on your TV. Would not recommend due to just awful characters.",9 "Perhaps a little harsh, as I usually love musicals and some of the songs and dances were wonderful, dazzlingly brilliant and clever but it all had an underlying emptiness. Maybe it was the subject matter, no matter how you spin it it was about a showman exploiting people to make money. He lied, stole and cheated; not a particularly nice character. There was some change of heart at the end in this film version of Barnum's life, but apparently not in reality. Hugh Jackman was wonderful as were most of the cast and I wish they had been given a better story to tell. Was it made because it epitomises the ""American dream"", poor boy makes good and becomes famous and wealthy - at any cost - then finds his heart again? Because Hugh Jackman was in it I couldn't help but compare this to the brilliance of the story of Les Miserables, which is about things that matter, redemption, goodness etc As against this shallow, grasping man's life story.",6 "As great and entertaining as the MCU movies are, the moral high horse they tend to look down from is bound to get cumbersome. This is where The Boys swoops in and steals all of the thunder from super hero movie tropes that we have begun to take for granted. This is not easy, saccharine family friendly viewing. This is hard as nails, guts in your face, angry and unrepentant. This is the view from under the feet of the moral high horse where the trampled have decided to just eviscerate the horse and the riders and the whole damn world if need be. I did not expect to like it as much as I did, I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. I never knew Karl Urban had it in him to pull of this remarkable character or that Elizabeth shue was still around and still this damn capable. The acting across the board could have been better but beyond that there really is nothing that could possibly have been done better. This show grips you by the balls from scene one and keeps on squeezing all the way to the final scene when you are delivered with both a cliffhanger and a satisfying resolution. This is really some next level stuff amazon has in its arsenal. Easily one of the best iterations of the super hero genre that defies our expectations at every turn.",9 I love the 1st episode... Its show how the heroes life asaid of superheros action... How they have normal life like us ..,8 "Awful, terrible, brutally awful in every way possible. Beware of those that gave this a good review. because this film is so bad in every respect that it is just awful.",2 "Compared to most, this prison escape flick isn't the cream of the crop but is good. My favourite movie of all time is the Shawshank Redemption and compared to that it's like chalk and cheese. But it is still a very viable option for people who like movies set in prison or based on real events. How real this is I'm not sure as I haven't heard the story before watching the Movie and writing this review. Although It has made me ever so slightly interested in finding out the facts of the real story. I thought the cast was absolutely fine, no qualms there. The action was light but that's to be expected but the intensity of the scenes where well done. Nothing panic inducing, but enough to make you hope they succeed. Cast - 7/10 Drama - 6.5/10 Story - As it's historical I don't want to dive into this factor. Overall a flick that I can't say too much about unless I'll get into spoilers. But it was enjoyable and worth a watch at least once. Recommend for a one time watch - 7/10.",7 "It feels as if you were watching 2 different movies. On one side, there is the fun adventure of beasts roaming old New York and shenanigans commence. But then there is the more serious subplot centered about an Obscurus. The two plots absolutely do not work together. You keep switching between the lighthearted beasts stuff that has very little to do with the rest of the plot and than back to the more serious stuff as if you were switching TV channels. If the movie were to pick one of these themes and go with it, it could have been fine either way, but this weird mix. Doesn't work. I feel like they wanted to tell the more serious story but also needed somehow to tag it onto the Fantastic Beasts IP. The original book which I have at home from 2001 was an expanded universe textbook with a list of some fun beasts and no plot. Just a textbook. I don't think any of the beasts introduced in this movie were even featured in said book, so what is the actual plot if not a cash grab?",3 "This story takes way too long to tell and should have been an hour. There's a few efforts to scare the audience, which are predictable and unnecessary. The military sending armed, untrained civilians into an area isn't plausible. Most of the story is the same way. Rather disappointed with this one.",2 "Overall, a beautiful film visually, but the story and the dialogue were laughable at times...i mean really laughable. Like, I laughed out loud numerous times during the film at some of the dialogue. These lines weren't meant to be comical, but were so bad that you had to laugh. I almost walked out 2 times earlier in the film and finally did at the end of the battle sequence. Cameron is an incredible film maker but needs some help with the story/writing. I'm hopeful that the sequels will address these issues. The first two acts in my opinion were really slow and dragged. I do however appreciate his take on how colonization destroys animal life and how we should be taking better care of the planet and it's inhabitants..but..still, this movie could have easily been 2 hours instead of the 3:15 that it runs...",3 "Southpaw tells a subpar story with good performances by a few actors. The film goes right into the meat within the first 15 minutes: it strips everything away from the protagonist: his reputation, his career, his family, his wealth you name it. Unfortunately the movie chose to do it in a contrived and unbelievable manner that it dips in parody. The protagonist loves his daughter like nothing else in the world until the script tells him he doesn't and he neglects her one hundred percent in a time where she needs her father the most. He was never portrayed to be that kind of a father, but for some reason he is. That's not how grief works unless there was previous resentment deep down. His child suddenly doesn't love him either, she talks and behaves like an adult for the rest of the movie. Again none of the inconsistencies are the fault of the actors but the screenplay alone. The movie does a lot of these absolute 180's out of nowhere with no build-up or resolution. The script shies away from EVERY single opportunity to show the protagonist overcoming any of his trials and tribulations. Getting a new job? Apparently he can only take the job as a cleaner at the gym (the absolute cliché). Regardless that this was the 5th time back-to-back world-champ two weeks ago. You don't tell me no one was willing to give this guy a job or an advertisement deal? The movie says he wants his daughter back from Child Services and needs a job. Do we see him job hunting? Nope. Protagonist has clearly anger issues, do we ever see him working on that main flaw that took everything away from? Nope. Protagonist has to convince local trainer to trust him. Do we see a bonding of two characters who couldn't be more antagonistic on their first meeting? Nope. Character has to switch to train Southpaw within weeks which is not easy at all. Well, you know the answer. And that's just the top four that come to my mind. The few good things: The movie has good boxing performances at the very end. Forest Whittaker gives an exceptional performance. Gyllenhaal is good but confined to work in cliché situations. That's it. So this is just another mediocre entry by Antoine Fuqua who continues to churn out sub-par movies.",4 I just want to sum it up in one sentence. IT IS A DAMN MUST WATCH.,10 The Sharks Namita Thapar and Aman Gupta have both claimed to do their due diligence after the show and they contact the entrepreneurs regardless of whether they get the deal or not. They have said so on Rohan Joshi's 30 questions stream and have explained how they do it.,7 "As the subject says, im angry that talented actors like except sm hv not come up with the next season. This shud hv gone on for more time than none. Its disappointing and extremely stupid that they havent yet. How long do v hv to wait????? Idiots",1 I just can't get my head around how a bit part character in the past few avengers movies becomes one of the most powerful villains. It seems like a lack of imagination.,4 "OK, I will keep this review short and sweet. The movie was good. It wasn't a mediocre movie, and it wasn't amazing, but it was a fun movie. Iron Man 2 feels like a sequel should, an extension of the first. There were dull parts, and exiting parts, and the villain is very interesting, but somewhat unbelievable. The fact that he is a poor Russian living on the street, but somehow a scientist, I still have problems with. There are still lots of funny, Playboy-oriented parts, and lots of butt-kicking action scenes. One of the two problems that I have with this movie is that problem is that, without spoiling the movie, it got somewhat unreal near the end, specifically on how a certain-other someone can fly the suit without experience. The other reason is that, there really isn't anything new, it is very much like the first movie, and if you didn't like the first, it won't do anything to draw newcomers in, but fans of Iron Man and the comics will be pleased. Although I prefer the first, it is hard to make a sequel that is better than the original, and this is almost as good as the first. I payed $11.00 to see this movie, and I don't regret it. I will most likely buy it on Blu-Ray (or DVD), and I am thinking about buying the first as well.",8 "Without wasting others time to read : Stupid Bollywood style dialogue in court room setting. Check out real court debates on YouTube - example channel LawChakra. judges are shown insensitive which is not true police are also shown useless 🤣 (well may be) there are barely any legal terminology spoken by ""the topper"" Kajol. I don't think the maker of the show are still grounded to reality, Indians tastes in webseries is to have some sensible realism to the theme. In my opinion, first episode feels like Bollywood attempt to make a close to replica of Shushant case and provide clean chit to accused.",1 "In spite of big names in the cast, the film is dull and too long. The script is easy to predict and it is not touching at all. Very boring and complete waste of time. Complete disappointment!",4 "Margot Robbie's performance is perfect, and no other actor could've embodied the character as well as she does. However, Ryan Gosling is the film-stealer. I often forget his comedic talent, and he's given a lot of room to flex it in this. A cleverly executed Matchbox Twenty joke is particularly memorable. While cynics and perhaps realists will argue that the film is primarily a marketing vehicle to sell Barbie dolls, it does attempt to carry a moral message. However, the commercial aspect of the movie undercuts the credibility of this message somewhat. The movie starts off well, being smartly self-aware and offering a tongue-in-cheek critique of itself with many winks to the audience. However, as it progresses, the commentary on feminism and the patriarchy becomes heavy-handed, especially in the dialogue-heavy third act, which weighs down the overall narrative. The set and wardrobe designs are a standout. I think kids will love this part alone, even if some of the humor and social commentary will go over their heads. Overall, it's a fun film but not without its flaws. It's likely to spark discussion due to its blunt societal commentary. If you're looking for a visually impressive movie to entertain the kids, and you're willing to enjoy it without analyzing its message too deeply, then it's an enjoyable watch.",6 "Season 3 is excellent. Gripping, a lot of plot twists, and non stop action and tension make for compelling viewing. The villain is also excellent. There are shades of bond, die hard and the best of other franchises. The stakes are high. Sutherland gives one of his best performances in season 3 and there is no better modern day action hero in TV. Still to this date- 2022, 24 season 3 is ahead of its time. The supporting cast is excellent as well- led by Dennis haysbert as President Palmer, Carlos bernard as Almeida, and even DB woodside- the president's brother who is introduced as his new chief of staff. The political subplots add drama and intrigue to the overall final product.",9 "Writing a Superhero with Dissociative Identity Disorder can't be easy. Especially when the character was conceived nearly 50 years ago. I went into the show only knowing that he had Mental Illness and was Jewish. After 6 episodes I'm not really sure that I know much more about the titular character. Even his Jewish background which (apparently) is quite important to his character is almost totally absent in the show. But the real problem is that the show doesn't seem to have a message that it really wants to tell. Trying to follow what's going on takes way more effort than a popcorn flick (or show) should. But even once you go back to figure out what exactly is happening you realize - it's horribly trivial. It's a story so basic it could have been told in 2 episodes - let alone 6. The Good: The Bad: TL;DR Watchable, but sadly far from what it should have been. Confusing but without any substance to back it up.",6 "In the middle of episode 1 I was about to stop watching bc I found it weird and boring, but I really got hooked! One of the best series I've ever seen. The only thing I didn't get was the progressing of Yennifer. This felt unnecessary to me. Although a really good show!!",9 "Christopher Nolan's ninth film (including Following, as I do), Interstellar was released today and I just had to go see it. And was I pleased? Kinda, yeah. I'm a HUGE Nolan fan. I really like all of his films; he's my favourite film director and he even happened to make my all-time personal favourite film, Inception back in 2010. So there's a lot for me to expect from him. Interstellar was the Nolan film I'd been waiting for for quite some time now. Knowing he always cites Star Wars: A New Hope and 2001: A Space Odyssey as some of his favourite films and biggest inspirations made me want him to try doing something like this himself. And he finally did! I did really, really, really enjoy the film. Nolan knows how to hold the audience no matter what. It's interesting throughout, compelling, occasionally tense and quite emotional at points. I thought that Matthew McConaughey did an excellent job (one of my favourite roles in a Nolan film thanks to him)! The score from Hans Zimmer is arguably one of his best (and that's saying a lot!). It's also very visually pretty (some nice cinematography from Nolan's new cinematographer at times). The concept is clever and is executed nicely, but I do feel it does fall apart at times - maybe trying a little too hard... At points I felt it was trying to be this generation's 2001 a little too much, but it didn't bother me all that much. It is nice to see such an ambitious film in such a way that it obviously has had a lot of time and care put into it. It really shows. I still hold by my opinion that Nolan is yet to make a bad film. It just isn't AS great as some of his previous works in my opinion. Overall rating: 7.4/10 (may change depending on second viewing thoughts).",7 "Why do people still give Michael Bay money to make movies? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me-right? I really don't get it. I didn't realize this was a Michael Bay farce when I started watching it. There were some dumb lines clearly thrown in to appeal to 12- and 13-year-old white males, as well as some gratuitous explosions early on, but I figured it would get better rather than worse and so I kept watching. Wow, was I ever wrong. Don't get me wrong: I like a good action movie with plenty of flash bangs, but what Michael Bay does is just insulting. Save yourself the hour and a half and skip this one.",1 I did not right a review for any of the movies in my life but this..... This was an absolute craft that forced me to write one. Wow just brilliantly executed with direction screenplay and Acting of both the lead is just🔥,10 "I'm completely surprised by how much I enjoyed this ""superhero"" show from Marvel. The first episode dragged a bit and was somewhat confusing at times. But, it had enough to keep me watching a second episode, then a third, fourth... well you get the idea. I think what kept me interested was the fact that Moon Knight is not your typical superhero. The basic plot is that there is an evil cult that worships an Egyptian goddess who has been imprisoned by the other Egyptian gods. Said cult is trying to free her so she can rain down her judgement on our hapless planet. Our hero, Marc, serves a different god and derives his power (and a cool suit) from that god. Needless to say, they want to stop the cult's nefarious plan, but there's a hitch. Marc is stuck in the body of a meek/mild souvenir shop employee named Steven, who doesn't want Marc taking control of his body. LOL, as I was writing the above description, it struck me as to how inane the plot sounds; but, believe me, the writers did a great job of making it work.",7 "I can't quite get attached to this. Having grown up on Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot and Murder She Wrote, I wanted a murder mystery that had some semblance to these shows. And I was hoping OMITB would live up to that. Initially, I did have my doubts - how could two comic actors provide the edge needed for such genre? I'm thinking how effective Benedict Cumberbatch was in his take on Holmes. Well, doubts are proven true. OMITB feels more like a vehicle for Martin and Short, built with trademark comedic elements peculiar to both of them, in which the murder mystery feels more like a support act rather than the framework on which the show ought to be built upon. There's also too much introspection on the part of characters, some of which doesn't add anything substantive to the plot. And that part with Sting? What is that? How was his character even necessary to the plot? It just gets mired in silliness. I'm surprised the legend from The Police was even willing to take part in such a portrayal. He certainly doesn't need the paycheque. The acting's generally ok, you get what you've always expected from Martin, Short, and Nathan Lane. On that, even Sting pulls his weight through, despite the limitation on his self portrayal. For a singer who hasn't acted much after his Dune days, his timing remains spot on. On the other hand, Selena Gomez looks and feels lame, it's like she could only come up with a single expression delivered in a monotone, in each episode. You wish she'd take up some acting lessons to at least convey a modicum of emotions instead of looking blank. Nope, I won't venture into S2.",5 "Don't waste your time seeing this one. Not believable, actors called it in. Honestly don't understand why this film was made.",3 "I can appreciate Sandler as a serious actor and give him props for portraying a horrible person that I didn't care about. There was really nothing in the movie I cared about and I turned it off. I have stuck it out with gritty movies because you care about the protagonist or the mystery, eager for resolution. Didn't, don't, done.",5 "I had refused to watch Argo thinking that it would be a typical American film but after five years, I thought why not, let's see some action. I suppose the first thing non-Americans would notice is that it's immersed in stereotypes and clichés, making you say ""oh come on!"" many times. The depiction of Iranians, the CIA, Americans kicking ass as usual... When you read about the real story, a big ""come on!!"" comes out of your mouth. Either Ben Affleck really wanted to reflect things that way or simply applied the procedure for success by US standards. Now, if you just ignore all of these, you might watch Argo as a pastime BUT best picture award? Honestly, before watching the film, I vaguely remembered about Oscars but had no idea that it won the best picture award. How is that possible? Life of Pi was among the nominees that year and Argo won?? Affleck's formula seems to have worked out.",6 Really enjoyed the whole experience. Lots of links to the HP movies for those that watch closely. Didn't feel the plot was too slow or too fast. Looking forward to the next instalment.,7 "I rarely go to the movies anymore but the film's location, the hype and Frances McDormand brought me out. I was ultimately disappointed with the experience. It seemed that the screenplay's conceit - the three billboards - was seen as such a good idea and selling point that the writer/director, Martin McDonagh, couldn't resist it even though it was beyond him to make anything coherent or believable around it. Moreover, he saw the location of small town Missouri as an opportunity to satisfy the world's base expectation of racism, violence and small-mindedness without the slightest intention or perhaps ability to explore them. McDonagh cut and pasted disparate scenes together in what was to add up to a black comedy and drama but the danger of going for art is that, when you miss, you get irksome, unentertaining, unconvincing dross. Films like ""Fargo"", ""Pulp Fiction"", ""Good Fellas"" and even ""Apocalypse Now"" are examples of how a roller coaster, collage screenplay can work but it takes skill to make it a unified satisfying whole. What went wrong? Screenwriting. Some of the dialogue was clichéd and amateurish. Many of the jokes were telegraphed and some of the emotional outpourings hollow. Characters. Whilst the ""head"" of the film McDormand, Harrelson and Rockwell did well, the gut of the film's cast were given nothing to work with and became pieces of cardboard. For example, how did an English rose (Yes, I know Abbie Cornish is Australian but she seems to effect a British accent) with an education in literature meet and marry a sheriff from small town Missouri? It can happen but there is no rhyme or reason for it within the context of the film. Moreover, some of the actions were uncharacteristic of the established characters. How does a mother and responsible loving father who is a chief of police leave their two little girls fishing by a lake surrounded by wilderness in order to have sex in the woods? The wife's praise of her husband's ""cock"" on their return home seemed gratuitous and phoney. The aftermath of making love with your dying husband was never so lacking in tenderness or affection. If you want sweetness without too much sugar in a black comedy look at the final scene in ""Fargo"". With a bit more imagination, McDonagh could surely have written a more touching family scene to symbolize a perfect last day for the sheriff prior to shooting himself. The suicide scene itself was apparently supposed to shock us with its suddenness but it seemed to me be just another obvious and convenient plot point. The letter of explanation by Chief of Police Willoughby for his suicide was utterly unconvincing too. And not to be too facetious or insensitive but I hope to look as well as Woody did and to be able to have sex right up to my end too! You may accuse me of being picky but, for the sake of brevity, I am only pointing out a few of the many cats that barked in this film. Smash up an advertising business, savagely beat up its editor and throw him out a window and brutally assault a female assistant but all that happens to you is you lose your job as a cop! I also found the punch in the face for the nice girl utterly gratuitous, cheap and nasty. Was it not established that Dixon was violently angry by what he did to ""Red""? No restraint and definitely no imagination by the writer/director. I could also point out the rather uninspired soundtrack and the lack of atmosphere. Nothing about the film spoke to me of a time and a place except perhaps for some of the posters in the dead girl's room (Nirvana) and the girl's punk/grunge outfit in the flashback scene. Even the original ads on the billboards from ""20 years ago"" looked more like the 1950's or 60's. I often judge a film by the strength of my impulse to see it again. Good ones get even better the second or third times around. Nothing would convince me to believe that I would find ""Three Billboards"" any more or less interesting or entertaining than it was today for me. If this is a classic, I will not be venturing to the movies very much more in future",3 "Listen as a woman in her 20s I am all for feminist movies but this movie really felt like a disappointment. Went in with the expectation of something only to be disappointed. The plot seems to be non-existent. Barbie has a crisis she goes to fix it but then it all becomes a mess. The dialogue feels like it's preaching rather than embodying the actual characters or the growth feels so non-existent Half of the movie has me feeling overwhelmed and confused. It wasn't my cup of tea because of how obvious all the quotes felt. The director tried to create depth but there was no depth only this quote that felt so obvious making it even more boring.",5 "I'm shocked. Like actually shocked. I didn't see a single piece of marketing for this movie, I was just browsing the Cineworld app and ""ooh there's a knew horror movie out lets have a look..."" IT WAS SO GOOD! The cinematography was very good, the acting was AMAZING, the story was actually investing since the characters were also great and the horror: oh my days the horror. First of all, yeah there are jumpscares but that's not why the horror is good, it's the aesthetic that makes this whole situation so disturbing. I tensed up during so many scenes even when there wasn't anything exactly ""scary"" going on. The fire was also great and once again added to the disturbing feel of this movie. I'm still just baffled that I didn't see a single piece of advertisement and it felt so unique and engaging compared to other movies that have released this year. And WOW THE ENDING WAS SO GOOD! It wasn't exactly a plot twist but it still shocking nonetheless! As much as I'm giving this movie positives there were still a few issues. Some parts of the script felt very random and characters just kinda said things because the plot demands it. But really that's about it. I guess it had a fairly slow start but I'm used to that when watching these type of horror movies. Overall just a great movie. Definitely not absolutely groundbreaking but I think my bar can be way too high for any movie to reach that. 8/10 definitely a must watch.",8 "Running out of words to describe this movie... i so envy people of south they get to watch such awesome movie whereas we are offered to watch Student of the year 2, And hollywood ripoffs.",10 "I have just watched this movie,and I'm still laughing... This is the best high school comedy so far. The lines between the two characters are just brilliant.From the first minute you can feel the comedy and laughter.Leading roles are great but also I got to say Mclovin was awesome.This is the best high school and youth comedy,and with its extremely funny lines and a really creative story line,this is a legend for me.Jonah Hill is acting superb in this one and you gotta love it.After you finish the movie im really sure that you would want to watch it all over again.And also what's good about this is that you can't predict the next move or the next line,scenario is so creative and unexpected.",10 "i personally thought this movie was great. the movie's plot really moved around the conversations between characters which was an interesting way to do the movie, although i do believe they intentionally accurately represented the area this movie is supposed to take place in by having the plot of the movie progress based more on what is said and theorized than the actual events happening. having a die hard-esquire action movie to solve this crime would have been unbelievable due to the movies setting in a suburban area that is not known for its intense action packed lifestyle, like most suburban areas (i should know, I've grown up in one for the past 15 years).",8 "Here is one of the first lines of the film (not a spoiler): ""Well, sir, normally this would be a cakewalk for the F-35's stealth, but the GPS-jamming negates that."" I assume anyone 15+ who reads this will be puzzled who placed random words in Tom Cruise movie lines and why plot was not checked by aviation enthusiasts (needless to mention military experts)? Don't worry, you won't be puzzled too long for random dialog lines. Because random story events will be higher concern. Much better to consider this a comics, except also necessary to tell actors such an important detail during filming so they portray less usual characters. It works well as an emotional fairy tail about people and military duty, but have zero respect and no passion for aviation and reality.",4 "First 30mins were v.good, set the mood, used the flashback device to tell how it started, sort of. Reminded me of The Mist but not as good. So many unanswered questions. Who were the ghosts/spirits/creatures? It started in Romania and Russia? Was it a Putin biological attack that gone bad? Were they aliens from planet Zlopadop? Who knows? Why could some survive without covering their eyes while others killed themselves instantly? If birds could live, does that mean this thing affected only humans? Why didn't we see a single animal then? No cats, no dogs, not even a cockroach. How could you sail a river and drive a car around streets strewn with bodies, debris, vehicles blindfolded? A sat nav? Oh please. Where were the Army? Why couldn't the creatures just break a window to get the survivours? You didn't really care about the characters, and the pacing was slow, could have cut lot of dialogue and got on with the story. John Malkovich and Sandra Bullock stood out for me. Better than average sci-fi end of the world movie but nothing special.",5 "As someone who likes the cast, loved the concept and who considers Christopher Nolan very talented and has enjoyed a good deal of his films, 'Interstellar' was somewhat of a let-down. It has a lot of great elements, but also has its flaws and one admires Nolan more for his ambition than his execution. Starting with the praises, 'Interstellar' does look spectacular. It's majestically shot, seamlessly edited and boasts audacious set design and fantastic special effects. The music score from Hans Zimmer is perhaps his best effort for a Nolan film, it has subtlety but also an unnerving eeriness and haunting and heart-wrenching pathos. The sound effects and sound mixing are expertly managed and give a real sense of authenticity. 'Interstellar' however has more than just being technically spectacular. It is thought-provoking and awe-inspiring frequently, with some fascinating ideas, and does have a lot of heart, making the emotional elements genuinely poignant. The Cooper/Murph relationship, which is really what takes centre stage, is beautifully done and often very heartfelt. Nolan directs with great ambition, strong direction of the actors and flawless technical command. Matthew McConaughey proves that his Best Actor Oscar for 'Dallas Buyers Club' wasn't a fluke, he holds everything together in a committed, charismatic and deeply felt turn. MacKenzie Foy matches him beautifully as does Jessica Chastain. Anne Hathaway is sassy and emotive, and there is fine support from John Lithgow and Michael Caine. However, 'Interstellar' is overlong and, because of the wildly variable pacing and that the story doesn't quite have enough content to justify it, it feels it. The pacing is wildly variable as aforementioned, there are times where it's fine but there's some choppiness and stodginess too. Dialogue isn't a strong suit either, there are many times where it's thought-provoking and poignant, but too much of it also consists of confused and at times illogical science (the time and space stuff was convoluted sometimes), forced sentiment and things being over-explained and preachy. Matt Damon's character felt thrown in and not particularly necessary, also somewhat silly, while the ending is far too idealistic and too falsely pat. Overall, less than stellar and was expecting much better. This said, 'Interstellar' is often impressive and very beautiful (especially technically, though the central relationship was also beautifully realised). 6/10 Bethany Cox",6 "So she kills her self over in the most pretentious 'artisitc"" way possible, going analog and recording her sorid tale of being some sort of tortured artist in suburbia.

Red Sparrow is a promising spy thriller film. With plenty of twist and turns. A promising performance from Jennifer Lawrence. A sharp direction from Francis Lawrence. But sadly it falls from a slow moving script and a concept that is serious and may be forgotten after watching the film once. Nor is it one of those movies, were you would say you watch it again. Dominika (Jennifer Lawrence) is a Russian Ballerina and after an injury leads her career to a shaky turn for her life's direction. And struggling to keep her mother in medical care. Her uncle (Matthias Schoenaerts) recruits her to a Russian Intelligence school, were she will learn to seduce, extract info, and execute any orders from anyone. After the Russian's learn there must be a mole in their government that is leaking important intel. The pros about the film. Jennifer Lawrence delivered a great performance. Her character was introduced into a world were she has to use her sexuality as a weapon. She was given no choice. Joel Edgerton was also good playing a CIA operative, were Dominika is trying to get information out of him. And he is trying to do the same. But when they both fall for each other, when Dominika realizes he can be her way out of this espionage world. If she helps him. Or does he have his own agenda? It is one of those movies that is entertaining to see these characters work together. But at the same time, leaves you feeling like you can not trust anyone. The direction is sharp. From a director that did the last few Hunger Games movies and Constantine. He created a perfect tone for an espionage thriller, were people are double crossing each other. And it does have a twist that will throw you off completely in the climax scene. The cons of the film. It is slow moving. It is not the typical spy thriller films like James Bond movies or Jason Bourne. It is about a Russian Intelligence spy trying to seduce a CIA operative to giving out information. But he is aware of and is trying to turn the tables around on her. So for any action enthusiasts may be disappointed. There is no car chases, action or fight scenes. Just a few execution kills and a very disturbing torture scene involving a skin graft device that can skin a person. I will have to say the film does lose its pace a lot when it is slow. And definitely one of those movies were you will only watch once and forget about it after it ends. Overall, Red Sparrow is a fair spy thriller. Direction is good to look at. Jennifer Lawrence was great. The concept and story kept you guessing. But it is slow and boring and forgettable.",6 "I cannot understand the high score this movie has.. It must be because Adam Sandler does a really good job playing the character in the movie, assuming it was intended for that character to be one of the most annoying and loud guy alive. The plot seems okay in the beginning, but as it stretches out in time -it just becomes stupid. The whole movie is just a big mess of loud talking and annoying decisionmaking.. I give it 3/10 because Sandler really does a good job being annoying (assuming this was intended), and I kinda like how it all ended",3 "Maverick was kicked out of Navy, works as a pilot up North ferrying cargo and drinking alcohol.

After taking 2 days to finish I can confidently say that I like what I have seen. Jenna Ortega's performance of Wednesday Addams was top tier. Watching her portray this dark and moody teenager in the beginning turn in to a less moody teenager that deep down cares about the people close in her life was truly special. Also watching a hand as a sassy sidekick was as entertaining as can be since he has no mouth.

Russell (""The Fighter"", ""Silver Linings Playbook"", ""American Hustle""). Starring Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington, it makes great use of its ensemble cast in a story that should have amounted to something better. While in France during World War I, Burt Berendsen (Christian Bale) strikes up a friendship with fellow soldier Harold Woodman (John David Washington) and nurse Valerie Bandenberg (Margot Robbie). After the war has ended, the trio decide to live together in Amsterdam until Burt returns home to New York to live with his wife instead. Harold and Valerie soon develop romantic feelings for each other, but the former eventually decides to join Burt in New York to obtain a law degree. Fifteen years later, Burt, who now works as a medical doctor, and Harold, who acts as his personal lawyer, are framed for the murder of a recently deceased senator's daughter, leading them to track down Valerie to help clear their names and uncover a plot to bring down the American government. If there's one thing a filmmaker like David O. Russell should be best remembered for, it's his ability to work efficiently with an ensemble cast. This of course pertains to the fact that he is usually able to get the best possible performances out of all the actors he happens to be working with at any given time, which helps give his films staying power. Whether it's the main protagonist with various personality flaws or the minor background characters that steal the show in each scene, I always find myself walking away from Russell's films remembering at least one of them for how much they contributed to the overall entertainment value. Russell's latest film ""Amsterdam"" is no exception here, however it is unfortunately hampered by an underwhelming story that left me feeling rather unfulfilled. Despite a decent setup, the film's plot never felt as impactful as it could have been. What I assume is supposed to be a murder mystery taking place in different time periods soon becomes overstuffed with character backstories and tangents that muddle the film's plot. For instance, the film starts off leading us to believe that Burt, Harold, and Valerie are going to be the main focus of the story, and while that remains true for the first act, the second third starts introducing too many new characters at once. Although each of these supporting characters play a significant role in the story, most of their scenes end up cluttering the narrative, which diminishes the original trio's overall importance. Because of this, it becomes tricky to both follow the story and remember everybody's character quirk at the same time. A good way of rectifying this would have been to introduce the supporting cast at more appropriate times throughout the film and lessen some of their contributions to the plot. I do appreciate the effort David O. Russell went to capturing the atmosphere of the film's two time periods. At the beginning in 1918, we see post war Europe through the eyes of the three lead characters reflected via each of their experiences. Burt has lost an eye and Harold also has some serious injuries that require urgent medical attention. This is where the two meet Valerie, whose eccentric qualities help alleviate the pair's suffering, later resulting in her befriending them both. It was common during wartime for people to bond through dire situations and all the scenes involving moments like this were definitely among the film's strongest parts. Later on in 1933, we see how much the world has changed in fifteen years, with the threat of another world war on the horizon and a global financial depression taking its toll on the economy. It is here we are shown how much each of the three main characters have been shaped by the world around them, with Burt tending to the injuries of his war buddies, Harold assisting him with all the legal work, and the revelation as to Valerie's whereabouts. No matter which of these particular eras, Russell ensures that the audience feels properly immersed thanks to his attention-to-detail on both the visual style of that time and the events occurring around each of the characters. As to be expected, the film's major selling point is in its three great lead characters, played expertly by Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington. Bale brings a level of credibility to the character of Burt by depicting him not just as a war veteran but also as a caring doctor. He is a man who has experienced some truly horrific things in the war but still has a moral sense of duty when caring for his patients as a doctor. Washington also does a great job playing off Bale as his best friend Harold, essentially acting as a voice of reason whenever Burt needs to clarify the legality of certain things. The two definitely felt like they were army buddies, with their mutual PTSD often highlighted as the reason why they remained close friends. To top it all off, Robbie adds an appropriate level of sass to the character of Valerie, whose quirky charm acts as the glue that holds the friendship of this trio together. I really enjoyed each time these three were onscreen together, which has me hoping to see more of them in a future David O. Russell film. But it's not just the efforts of Bale, Robbie, and Washington that makes this film's cast so interesting. As weirdly implemented as they were, I was impressed at how all the supporting characters contributed at least one memorable moment to the story. These include the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy, Rami Malik, Zoe Saldana, Chris Rock, Mike Myers, Michael Shannon, Robert De Niro, and even pop singer Taylor Swift. Nobody felt like they went to waste, even if some scenes left a lot to be desired. My favourite performances from the supporting cast were from the two Michaels - Myers and Shannon. Myers plays a British spy from MI6 while Shannon plays US Naval intelligence officer. Without giving too much away, these two almost rivalled Bale and Washington for the fun friendship qualities they displayed, especially during the film's final act. Given its great cast of actors and solid premise, ""Amsterdam"" felt like a missed opportunity to have been so much more. If David O. Russell had placed better emphasis on focusing the film's narrative, then I'd almost be willing to consider it an underrated gem. Still, for what it's worth, the film remains mostly entertaining thanks to the solid chemistry of its three leads and the odd fun scene involving the other supporting characters. In the end, only long time fans of Russell's work will enjoy this film the most while others will see little else in its appeal. I rate it 6.5/10.",7 "I loved casino and good fellas but the actors are just too old, the film is far too long and just gets boring with a few flashes of interest. If you are interested in the dark side of Jimmy Hoffa and are happy to put aside an entire evening go for it. Also Harvey Kietel is in it for 5 mins only, travisty!",5 "Monica O My darling is a TikTok Reel made on Old songs. I felt like listening to old flop songs with new video. Director was interested in using old songs more than creating a drama using relevant background score. How lazy one can be that instead trying to elevate a scene using background score, director kept using old flop songs as if he was making a master piece. Half of the movie is gone but am I didn't understand what is this movie all about, is this a thriller, is this a murder drama but no clue. Bored of seeing Rajkumar Rao in same old cry baby roles where thr character is scared and trying to get out of a trouble.",1 This is a guilty pleasure that I enjoy. Its not great but it is watchable. Couldve used some non cgi magic tricks.,6 "So flat, when in theory everybody's doing what's expected with voiceovers and perkiness and jokiness . . . But it's all . . . Really really flat. So a no for me. Hope you like it more.",1 "I think perhaps my feelings about this movie were negatively affected by all of the marketing and reviewer hype; I expected a great movie, and what I watched was ""okay."" Firstly, the cinematography has a very 90s quirkiness to it. I immediately thought ""Tank Girl,"" and not in a good way. It's an anachronistic aesthetic, honestly. Many of the scenes are a tad long, overstaying their welcome. The script and movie overall could've used another round of revision and editing, to take out 30 minutes of unnecessary dialogue. If you told me that Greta Gerwig was playing with Barbies one day on the floor, and everything she made the dolls say while playing she then wrote down and it verbatim became the script, I'd believe you. The overall message of the movie is delivered by the characters in ham-fisted monologues. Now, if the subject was something we've probably never heard of, like the sci-fi concepts in Inception and the Matrix, a stilted monologue feels awkward, but necessary. But the plight of women in a male hegemony is such a ubiquitous subject, so well known, that to deliver speeches with such zero dramatic subtlety makes me think the movie is better suited for preteens who are only just learning these things. It's trite, in short. There are many ridiculous, light scenes mixed with heavy, emotional poignant scenes. And that's fine, that works-- except the transition between those scenes is ungraceful, to the detriment of both types. The Ken dance scene is fabulous. Several of the jokes and physical comedy were HILARIOUS, but several of them fell pretty flat. I really liked Lady Bird. And I know that this movie is very different in tone; I expected that. I like weird stuff, that's not the issue. This movie's execution feels kind of sophomoric to me, like they thought it was enough that it was a kooky idea, and thus didn't need to apply any editorial rigor that you'd expect in a contemporary movie.",5 "This show is very well played and generally very well done. Especially the camera work really convinced me and created the right atmosphere. Unfortunately, and this seems to be a common problem with this kind of story, the plot becomes a bit weak towards the end. Not that the ending is especially bad, but unfortunately it doesn't keep up with the high quality of the rest of the series. Especially the last episode was marked by illogical decisions of the characters and the ""Final Battle"" couldn't keep up with the tension of the series at all. Also the little addition after the first credits was super predictable. All in all a good show with an extremely good start, carefully worked out suspense, good acting & camera work and a predictable, disappointing ending.",8 "The final X-men picture goes out with a depressing whimper instead of the emotional roller-coaster that was intended. Over time, X-men movies have grown more and more inconsistent in terms of tone and pacing between films; maintaining consistency is a difficult task with such a vast franchise (particularly one with multiple timelines), but Logan manages to be one of the 'odd films out' in that it is far more grounded than its' predecessors. In making the movie more grounded, the film is far more dark and brooding than any other X-men movie, portraying Logan/Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) as a jaded and depressed mutant and even the presence of a child throughout doesn't lighten the tone. There is no doubt that having Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart in their usual roles is the best the movie has to offer, it is clear that they are completely comfortable in their roles to such an extent that one cannot imagine anyone else performing. Their presence on-screen is fierce and captivating; and I could not praise Logan enough for this. The movie however is riddled with faults throughout, starting with the primary plot point of the film, the most important character involved: Laura (Dafne Keen). The introduction of this character is key to the entire fabric of how the film runs and functions as a storyline, yet she is unlikable and irritating. I have pictured a version of the film's events without her presence, and she does not add to the story as a single entity at all, despite the fact she is among the centre of events. To put it simply: the film revolves around her as a character, but if not present, the film would not lose an entertaining or vaguely interesting on-screen performance. This is not down to acting talent, but script writing which paints Laura as a damsel in distress despite the fact she can clearly handle herself during action scenes. The action is undeniably entertaining, yet comes few and far between. Some dramatic moments include Logan having to deal with Xavier having a seizure, which causes the surroundings to be affected perilously and Logan must stop the seizure by calming Xavier down with an injection, which just involves Wolverine walking toward Xavier in slow motion, disposing of a couple of enemies who are frozen and cannot move. This doesn't particularly constitute its' own 'action' segment, and detracts from the real moments in the film in which the protagonists really can entertain the viewer with some incredible bloodthirsty scenes. Logan is a bloodthirsty film overall, at no point is there a pause in the violence that the movie shows, which again, changes the tone from most of the other films within the franchise. This film is not for the light-hearted, and those that find themselves huge fans of the series are definitely going to enjoy the movie; this is not the first X-men film which I can say has flaws, and while I know that the film isn't perfect and I personally did not find the plot captivating (in fact the plot is not anything we haven't seen before), I know that a lover of the X-men series is going to find that this movie will tug on their heartstrings time and time again. The need to thrust the important parts of the story upon Laura is completely unnecessary, when this film tries and fails to get the audience to enjoy her as a character, it then attempts to make her relatable by placing her opinions and feelings towards Logan in line with that of the audience: of admiration. This didn't work on me at all, and I still found her an annoyance as the film began to close, and due to the fact the main focus was shifted slightly from Logan and greatly from Xavier to this new character, it meant these beloved characters did not get the chance to really relate like they have done in other films before their exit. Is Logan a good film? At least partially. Is it a good X-men film? Absolutely. The vast inconsistency with other X-men movies puts it above many others, naming The Wolverine and X-men Origins: Wolverine as the main movies that Logan has managed to top (which wasn't particularly difficult). I can recommend the movie to anyone who loves X-men and Marvel, but definitely not to anyone else. https://showme-themovies.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/review-logan.html",6 Marvel had it's run IMO but I think it's over. I shut it off after first episode.,3 I am not a regular movie reviewer but after watching this movie i had give my review...most pleasant and heart touching experience what I say for this movie.. definitely worth watching.,9 "This impressive episode, the life story of a man who for more than a decade fought with all his might to stay alive and thus regain his original status and return to his family in due condition, was only made known to a larger audience thanks to the interest of the star Brad Pitt, who, in addition to a special participation, at the end of the action, is also one of the producers of this film version of the homonymous book written by Solomon Northup himself. This fact - as well as the title also suggests - points in advance to an inevitable conclusion: regardless of what happened to him, Northup survived. Therefore, despite so many others in the same - or worse - situation than him, the big question here is to investigate what are the merits and differentials, whether in form or content, that distinguishes him from other similar plots so often explored before by cinema. Worldwide. Solomon's journey to regain his freedom is nothing short of harrowing. McQueen shows us slavery for what it is: merciless, painful and brutal. Families were separated, scars marked the bodies of slaves through the countless tortures they suffered, bodies were mutilated... among various evils, McQueen challenges not only the public itself to face that reality today ignored by many, but also asks, without fear, a question raised by the most resentful: would it be ethically correct to film slavery in such a way? With his film, McQueen throws this issue downhill and emphasizes the importance of the theme and the relevance of the need to still discuss it today. Going beyond the theme itself, ""12 Years a Slave"" is a film that highlights the very rottenness of human beings. Solomon is betrayed and deceived by those closest to him, he is the victim of tortures that don't even need whipping to make us agonize because they are so cruel (like the long shot where Solomon is placed hanging a few meters from the ground in a tree), and at a certain moment, is forced to flog the slave Patsey (Lupita Nyong'o) until she skins him. It's strong moments like this that mark 12 Years a Slave, since the goal is, in fact, to highlight the unknown limits of human beings, something McQueen does with praise. John Ridley's powerful script clearly establishes the ownership relationship between whites and blacks. Slaves are treated like merchandise, which must serve in rural activities, giving good results to their masters. Between lashes and humiliations, there is no differentiation of sex or physical capacity. They were bought to serve, otherwise they are punished. By exploring the forced reintegration of blacks into slavery, the script does not need didactic explanations about the system at the time. What is relevant for Ridley is to show the horror experienced by one among many other blacks at the time, trapped in an unfair and painful routine. To try to survive, Platt hides that he is literate, as the consequences would be worse. The idea is that, over time, he will conquer his masters and, who knows, be freed from slavery. But it's not that simple. The conflicts that appear will question Platt's resistance and the abuses suffered by him and his companions affect his subservience. The relationship he maintains with Patsey, experienced by newcomer Lupita Nyong'o, is delicate. In addition to being black, she is a woman, who submits to her master's excessive affection, but who would choose to die to find peace. Nyong'o, nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actress, has one of the most delicate and sensitive moments in the plot, as well as the cruelest of them. Chiwetel Ejifor intelligently embodies the protagonist. His vulnerabilities and his belief that time and justice will resolve that situation give the character the strength he needs. His relationship with his two main masters, played by Cumberbatch and Fassbender, are overwhelming, especially with the latter. Fassbender builds an obnoxious, ostentatious, intelligent type. The power he has in his hands, which goes far beyond the whip he carries, blinds him and even affects his wife, the estranged Mrs. Epps, strong participation of actress Sarah Paulson. Cumberbatch, on the other hand, an apparently good man who perhaps does not quite understand that slavery exceeds the meaning of existence, gives false hope that Platt can be saved. Also noteworthy is the participation of Brad Pitt, who is also a producer of the feature and may win his first Oscar, who appears in the last act as a breath of hope for Solomon. Meanwhile, newcomer Lupita Nyong'o suggests a world of pain by embodying a double dose of oppression: black and woman, the girl is doubly inferior. However, perceiving herself favored by the attraction she exerts on the ""owner"", she adopts the pragmatic position of submitting to live, resulting in a suffered performance that exposes the limits of a woman who perhaps prefers to die than just survive thanks to "" favors"" of a sadistic and unpredictable ""master"" - and one of the virtues of Fassbender's performance lies in his effort to avoid turning Epps into a caricature, since the subject really seems to believe that he is only exercising a role bestowed by the Bible and God. With an impeccable technical team, the grandiose locations are also valued for their detailed production design and superb costumes. Sean Bobbitt's photography, who collaborated with McQueen in his two previous films, ""Shame"" and ""Hunger"", plays with the limits of the screen and with tones, not always cold and not always warm. Featuring a beautiful soundtrack by Hans Zimmer, who substitutes tragedy for melancholy in its themes, 12 Years a Slave is also touching, as it brings several moments in which we accompany those suffering beings who surrender to the singing that would eventually become the beautiful blues (which, no wonder, is a word used to describe sadness). And if the strength of the script is evidenced by the strong performances, Steve McQueen's direction could not be more effective. The filmmaker elaborates a dynamic narrative, which never tires the audience. The always well-elaborated plans take as much meaning out of each situation as they can, either to thrill or to shock. McQueen does not spare the viewer the shock, being almost impossible not to share the pain that the film exudes. Highlight for the long shots that expose the irreparable situation of the protagonist tied to a tree, while the other slaves continue their routines ""without realizing it"". Absent from showing the passage of time with didacticism, through cards or a montage that would certainly become confusing, the ellipses are well punctuated and we see time pass through the wear and tear and appearance of the protagonist. Narrated in a traditional way by McQueen - who here is much more restrained and conventional than in his previous work, the disturbing ""Shame (2011)"" - we have here a film that will do well in a history class, but which lacks the filmic elements that the allow us to go beyond this initial impression. Everything happens in a rather novelistic progression, with a beginning, middle and end, without surprises or twists. The villains are all very well identified, and no one has the slightest doubt about who to ""root"". It's very black and white, which inevitably sounds disjointed in today's increasingly gray world. After being captured, Solomon is treated like an animal. Any viewer who has watched at least one episode of the classic miniseries Roots (1977) knows what to expect from then on. Our protagonist is mistreated, despised, offended, cruelly punished simply because his skin color is dark. At the first opportunity, since he is treated as a valuable commodity, he is sold to the highest bidder. Sent to a farm, he begins standard work, which seems to go beyond field activities. One or two disagreements later, he is transferred to another owner, this one, yes, the richer and more interesting kind - the insane red-haired farmer played by Michael Fassbender offers a light that the film has been distressing since its inception. The barbarities get worse, but when the worst is about to happen, a deus ex machina comes up with a providential solution under his arm. And as free as it all began; this story of evident despair and rare identification ends. In addition to being an exemplary cinematic experience, where language and aesthetics are perfectly developed, ""12 Years a Slave"" goes down in History by portraying with rawness, but without losing sensitivity, one of the most infamous periods of all time. Thus, Steve McQueen makes an obligatory film. The final scene, simply chilling, gives hope that one day the world will be less cruel and that love will solve most of our problems. The United States is a country of immense contradictions. And, precisely because of this, we see them atoning for their sins and guilt as a nation through cultural manifestations. Being the cinema the biggest and most popular of them, how can you not come across cases like this with a certain regularity? It is, in a deeper analysis, a correct report, which does justice to the report on which it is based, but which fails precisely for being satisfied with what is evident to it, limiting itself to what was within its reach, without dare to be creative. This fact, ultimately, is what differentiates genius from mediocre.",8 "I really wanted to like this but the characters are just not likeable, the story is too drawn out and the time spent on dreadfully boring teeny relationships is painful. Robots look fab though!",3 "This one went slow and cold as a Slug in a hurry. You know the type of movie you keep looking at your watch and wondering if anything is going to happen? This is one of those. For all of us starving fans of all things Fantasy - this is just another hashmark snoozer that won't ever make your top 10 films to re-watch next year. Here is where I want to end this review, but I still have a required 200 more characters to type and all I wanted to do, was warn the viewers (who have never seen this film), that this is a Taffy film, designed to sucker you in, empty your pockets and pull you along to the next one. Where you will wash/rinse & repeat the behavior - all for the sake of gaining a good night of entertainment. Viewer beware of this Slug - you were warned.",1 "Good concept alright execution. Overall a decent film, from the start it's a bit common, the concept isn't new and it doesn't pick up until the last half an hour. In the end the movie manages to balance out and strengthen the story, this talk to the undead concept has been visited before but this adds a bit more character to it making it interesting for all ages. It adds an element of control, how you can summon the spirits and accept the spirits in a controlled manner. In general if your looking to watch a movie similar to this one you can easily find some that might not be as creepy but manage to maintain and capture this idea much better and clearly.",7 "Better than a show based on a game like Twisted Metal has any business being. The Twisted Metal I'm familiar with is 2, which while featuring a fun over the top villain in Calypso, doesn't have a whole lot else going on, as it like with most of David Jaffe's stuff, is basically about realizing the ideas you thought were cool as a 14 year old. So while you can certainly tell it's based on Twisted Metal, this show is mostly its own, focuses on the exaggerated characters and the comedic, goofy stuff, brings that to the forefront and is quite successful for it. It's often actually funny. Reminds me a little of Peacemaker.",8 "A movie should not be rated on just the one amazing aspect it had, which is the one long cut directing and great cinematography. The movie is long, with characters you can't believe will make an impossible dumb mission that you will never care for or feel any emotion for. The soldiers themselves plenty of times don't even act like they're at war but trying to make friends with the other side. Just a waste of time, money, and sense.",5 Love the twist of plot. Amazing Winslet on this character. One of the best crime series of the last years and obviously top 5 shows in 2021.,8 "I went to see this movie without even seeing the trailer first. I'm a 42 yo man and people kept posting stuff about this movie on social media, so when a friend asked me to go watch it, I said yes... I was expecting some kind of dumb movie, but this is not. It appeals to teenagers but also to an older audience. I loved the sense of humor, Mattel was sometimes laughing at themselves too. I found that very nicely done. The acting is amazing. However I liked the first part of the movie more than the second one. It starts to analyze the patriarchy a bit too heavily for my taste. They want to make it clear that this is a feminist movie. They want to clear Barbie's image of the stereotypes she's been associated with for decades: she's not a blonde and skinny perfect bimbo girl. Barbie is a feminist, she represents empowered women. I keep questioning myself about this point of view: little girls have been associating the idea of beauty with Barbie for so long, so my idea of Barbie has been quite the opposite throughout my life. I find it hard to accept it. Now let's talk about Ken. He only exists because Barbie exists. In Barbie Land he counts nothing. There is a deep criticism toward the patriarchy which I can understand but goes slightly too far for my taste...",7 The show was slightly above average. What make it worse was the acting done by both the daughter characters. That's the worst acting you could ever see.,1 "This dreadfully color graded, horrifically written (not even pleasant as an irony), shockingly edited, boring and quite honestly infuriating pile of dung, almost assuredly, even in consideration of the fact that there are no certainties, has, just has to be an evil joke of sorts... Even the dragons. They even messed that up... The first 20 minutes of this show brought on waves of malaise. My expectations were low, but in consideration of the first 6 seasons of GoT, I decided to ruin the rest of my night, and likely a few thereafter. I question the legality of this atrocity. Despite my sufferings a small part of me cherishes the idea of my involvement in this predicament, as we collectively, probably at once, have been royally BAM-BOOZLED pg-13 bridgerton with dragons.",1 "Saw this on Prime. Wish I'd never listened to critics reviews and gone to see it in cinema. It's a really unique, brilliantly made film, with loads of exceptional performances. Christian Bale is on top form playing a really decent and lovable man. All the supporting players are also great, and, there's so many incredible actors! It's so rare to see an ensemble of this calibre in a film. The plot / setup is intriguing and the oddball bunch of friends who get unwillingly pulled into danger makes for a compelling watch. You don't want them to get hurt, but after what an assassin does to Taylor Swift early on, the sense of threat is always there. Tonally the film reminded me of Grand Budapest Hotel. That film had a better killer in the form of William Dafoe. In Amsterdam, the killer could have featured a bit more and their story brought to a better conclusion. I'd guess with the amount of characters and story there probably wasn't time for that. It's a minor quibble really. Amsterdam has a really beautiful scene between Bale and Zoe Saldina. I wish she featured a bit more in the film as you really wanted him to find some happiness with her. Yes this is sort of given in the end but it felt a bit tokenistic. The main love affair between Robbie and the excellent John David Washington is done with excellence. They both look beautiful and you root for them. The third act gets a bit crushed as the complex plot tries to land. Lots of characters converge and it's not easy to discern one villain from another. However, the film rides along with enough sublime wit and humour, lots of laugh out loud moments, that any criticism fades away. It also looks stunning. The recreation of the period details is sublime to look at. Thanks for making it, really terrific achievement.",9 The first 8 episodes were awesome. I was so crazy to know that what will happen in the finale. But after watching the finale i'm so disappointed not only me all mcu fans are disappointed. We didn't expected this kind of ending. There's so many unanswered questions they left in the finale. The writing of finale is good but not that good as all fans expected.,5 The hype train has left the station. I had high hopes for this film which in all honesty lost my attention after maybe an hour. Glad I saw it in a streaming service and not rip off cinema prices.,4 "Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a well-done film, I just don't get any personal investment out of it. Everything is well-done from the action sequences to the story but nothing holds me tight and truly grips me for me to enjoy like a lot of other people do. I definitely thought the action was really good and there were some genuinely interesting sequences but the film feels sort of...light. It's not like I can't appreciate the films efforts and there succession into crafting genuinely entertaining sequences, I just don't find it very enthralling and I don't think it deserves to be hailed as a masterful political thriller.",6 "It's a great action/thriller type of show but the obvious snippets of leftist propaganda make maintaining immersion in the story difficult. No, holier-than-thou writers, we don't care to hear you occasionally repeating Democrat talking points and jabs at anything resembling the current positions of the Republican Party.",6 "Great retro vibes, amazing performances and reveals, outstanding 'bridge' to other MCU IPs, and a fun watch, though feels rushed at times. More Asgardian back-flashes will better cement Loki's motivations. Timeline integration, brilliantly done. Great vfx and memorable scene-timings. Loki's godhood runs deeper than just his tendency to cause 'mischief', hopefully more (than mere hints or topic-grazing) on this will be revealed as the show goes on.",9 "The storyline is bad, it's a continuation off of the latest Spider Man so they forced themselves into a bit. The storyline is bad enough to the point to where the actors don't even know how to buy in.",3 You would expect more from a Ryan Reynolds movie but what happened here his films are usually funny but NO just NO he sometimes tried to be funny but it just didint work in this movie I didn't like the idea of him being in a game hes much better as his deadpool character I know it's a different film entirely but still.,2 I could be all these kids grandmother and this show is very good! A little too much sorrow for one class! A lot of interesting deep issues discussed in this show! This show made me think of how we interact with people just a smile just a hello how are you might make ones day! Everything is connected.... It was really good ....,9 "Just what you'd expect from The Studio that brought all our favouritestogether in The Avenger films,fun, action-packed, great storyline and an extremely interesting main character, this show reminds me of Doctor Who, when it was good...",9 "It's a sort of tacky, cheesy soap opera but with witches and vampires. It takes itself far far too seriously, which makes the whole thing feel embarrassing. If it injected some humour and was more tongue in cheek, acknowledging that it's just a pretty ridiculous supernatural/teen romance/twilight style romp, then that would've made it more bearable I think. I just keep feeling bad for the actors while I'm watching it.",3 "The only character that I have liked this time is Sunny Hinduja (Sandeep Bhaiya). I have been a great fan of Shivankit in all his forms. But, this time I must say either he didn't get that strong character or Sunny proved to be a better actor, even though his scenes were limited. All his scenes were loaded with heavy dialogues. Great job done by Sunny Hinduja.",7 "Good show. But the WOKE poison is all over the story line and characters. If you can watch it and not be annoyed by the constant reminders that straight white men bad (and Make America Great) are BAD, everyone else good... you'll enjoy The Boys. And the underlying MAGA-esque theme is nauseating. Booooring! We get it. Hollywood hates the America IS great story.",8 "Between this and 'The Bear' I honestly wonder if the majority of LA writers just frequent the same luxury restaurants and try to draw inspiration from their uninspired unrelatable lives. It's like someone got high and watched the Food Network and tried to ascribe meaning to it. But came up empty. Anyone who likes this movie must live in a bubble of pretentiousness, because this film does not work as an allegory or even a black comedy. And I bet fans of this type of thing are exactly like the character that says 'You just don't get it.' I get it...and its BS. The actors, set-dresser, ect. Did a fine job with the material given...but honestly why was this movie green-lit? If they wanted a message to resonate as a mirror of society's over-consumption and rich a-holes; they could've spent the time and budget on something more focused, meaningful, and artistically more poignant. I guess I don't understand audiences today- as I see in film, music, and TV things that have a high production value and yet are completely shallow beyond that initial surface facade. It's BS dressed up as art while having the audacity to act morally superior. There is nothing in this movie beyond the thriller mystery vibe at the very beginning that quickly unravels with every scene and unrealistic reaction. I'm not a person who needs explosions every 5 minutes, and I appreciate artistic movies with a real message....but this has none. Has similarities to The Bear (why are we praising this type of self-indulgent writing?!) Random ramblings devoid of a cohesive theme, interspersed with shots of food prep, sandwiched between knowing glances between characters. That's not profound.",2 "I had read & heard great reviews about ""The Amazing Spiderman"" & went on to see it.Apart from Andrew Garfield's splendid performance,the movie is nowhere near the ""Spiderman-1"".It is more like Spiderman-1 combined with some features from Nolan's Batman series[ The web shoot is done with a device,unlike from Spiderman which make Spiderman look like more of a common man than the superhero like the Batman series].Some subplots are changed,but the idea remains of the same from the first part.The idea behind enmity between spider man & Giant Lizard is too weak.Good action sequences ,brilliant cinematography & nice Visual effects ,some comic scenes as well as a little Romantic scenes but ""The Amazing Spiderman"" looks like an underdeveloped Spiderman Film with weak script.The film is good in parts but no continuity in scenes makes the film fell before the First part.The Reboot is not necessary If you remember Sam Raimi's Spiderman,this reboot may not entertain you.",3 "This was a way underrated show and admittedly it did start slow for the first half of the debut season, but wow has it taken off now, by far the best Marvel has produced since the Avengers!",10 "You know the days where you knew they create something great, with a IP like The Witcher who could ruin this. Apparently Netflix is real good at it ruining stories. It is however real sad that a Series with this much lore and story gets twisted into what we got to watch in those sad 2 seasons. Season one tries to be smart but completely misses its mark making it confusing to watch. I miss the Witcher in his own story, but hey could be worse. Season two does nothing with all the free advice they got and doubled down on making something horrible. In fact they even got their Harold of rivia to quit and going back to flying around with a cape. This could have been prevented.",2 "This show kind of reminds me of The Outsider. It's dreary, depressing, and quite good. I'm hooked like a fish on a line. I feel Mare will soften up the closer her cases get to a resolution. I'm loving Evan Peters. It's good to see him play a different character than the loony ones he's played on American Horror Story. I look forward to the next episode.",8 "It's sad to see how movies are being sold these days. It takes a couple of hundred staff employers to write 10-50 reviews each praising the movie to get it rated as one hell of a film. With a budget way over normal - they can afford it - and it pays off. It's truly sad, 'cause this film is so boring and uninteresting but still critics, and magazines as well, are bought just to secure high sales and nominations etc. Only the aftermath cannot be controlled, yet, and luckily so. Because in a couple of years this movie will go down as one of many minor movies and take the position it truly deserves - and yes! It's not one of the ""amazing experiences"", or: ""Best movie ever!!!"" DUH! Well, you got your few dollars, you sold your soul, and we got this booooring story wrapped up as the Emperor's new wardrobe. 3 stars for visuals - 0 for story, and 1 for total experience.",3 "As you read some of the negative reviews for Stranger Things, you begin to realise just how messed up modern society is when it comes to judging the quality of movies and TV. There seems to be a completely false misconception that in order for something to be good or 'original' it needs to be filled with brand new ideas that no one has ever seen (or thought of) before. Frankly, this is rubbish and the people spouting utter codswallop about it on this site clearly have way too much time on their hands or just enjoy being negative. It genuinely feels as though some people are just panning this show so they can demonstrate their knowledge of movie and TV history, mentioning a moment in the decades of movies that have gone before, where a scene was similar to one shown in Stranger Things. If that is how we judge things nowadays, it's a bit of shame. Apologies, rant over. This show is excellent. Really it is. I personally found it so engrossing that I was – for the duration of each episode – transported back in to the 80s. Credit goes to the actors - especially the kids, for making it seem so real despite having no first-hand experience on which to draw from. The way this is filmed, the lighting, the vast amount of electronic music used, the graininess in the opening credits, the cars and technology, the bicycles, the clothes and the haircuts – it's all first rate. Actually, let me just say that again. The soundtrack is awesome. As mentioned, the acting is also good. I agree with another reviewer who said that our old friend Winona Ryder wails like a slightly mentally unstable person for the majority of her time on screen but this just about bearable given the context. David Harbour is excellent as a run-down but hard-nosed local cop and all the kids are outstanding. Mathew Modine is a little under-used, but he almost feels like a last minute addition to the cast anyway so it's no real loss. The CGI and special effects are pretty solid. I think the dark settings and low lighting obviously helps. Indeed, as we get to the later episodes and the CGI becomes more important and more frequently used, you start seeing the inevitable shortcuts that were taken to support a TV series versus a blockbuster summer movie. For me the best thing about this series is the fact that it made me want to see more episodes. I found it hard to stop watching. And the interesting thing is that I couldn't quite put my finger on one single thing that made me want to watch. It really was a bit of everything. Yes, I could see where the story was heading from fairly early on, but I still wanted to see it unfold because the experience was, well, a whole lot of fun. And I guess this brings me full circle to my initial rant. There are countless references to countless 80s + 90s movies and TV series. If you're old enough, you'll spot most of them. But this didn't pose a problem for me, nor did it reduce the level of enjoyment of watching. On the contrary, it made me smile and briefly think back to my own childhood. The whole series treads a very unusual line between thriller, horror, and retro-spoof. Now, you can could say that drawing all these genres together is boring and unoriginal, but I beg to differ. Putting them all together in this way is not something I've seen before. Maybe it has been done, but I haven't seen it, and I watch plenty of series. The fact that so many people are giving this 10 stars speaks volumes, so please don't be influenced by the negative reviews without first giving at least one episode a go. This series draws you in and it's enjoyable, funny, cheesy and mildly frightening right to the very predictable ending/intro to season 2. To be fair, I'm not entirely sure how else they could've ended it. You can choose to miss it if you think everything that comes of out of Hollywood needs to be something we've never seen before – but honestly, I dare you to find a single thing on a planet of 7.6 billion people and countless series, books, movies etc. that no one has thought of or done before. Watch it. Stranger Things is fun because it's different to most of the other things out there.",9 "You didn't laugh once. Admit it. You want to like it because you've liked these people in other things but this is bad, really bad. The monotony of the character points, the numerous mentions of ""podcast"" when it's clear the writers have never heard one. How do I know? When the power in the bldg goes out and the principles all lose ""transmission"" of their favorite podcast at the same time, the writers don't know a goddam thing about podcasts. That's not how anything works do some research... and jfc what is the deal with Selena's speaking voice? Isn't she voice trained? Sounds more like she's in need of a heimlich than a Grammy. Enunciate hon. It's the least you owe your silly fans. Great acting. Nice mom jeans I guess.",3 "I am really struggling to understand just where director/writer Taika Waititi was going with this movie. It is obviously anti-hate, anti-racism--duh, but its bursty pace makes any idea it might try to present lost up in the air. He got the people, he supposedly got the vision and know, he has kinda executed it. The movie takes place in the final days of World War II--the point where the German people have realized the insanity of Hitler's ridiculous delusions of grandeur. They know their end is approaching but they also know the realization they came to, they came to it too late. Few men are still carrying the indoctrination in their head. Among them, 9-year old boy Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis), whose grasp on politics is, obviously, benign. His ""hatred"" towards Jews is summed up in fantastical elements, the regime infecting the young kids' minds by telling them stuff like the Jews have horns and the Devil controls their minds. Kids fell easy to fascination, but it got me thinking, in 1939, an entire nation did too. So, of course, when Jojo finds out his mother, Rosie (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl, Elsa (Thomasin McKenzie) inside their home, he gets jumpy. Elsa sees him for the innocent and corrupted-minded boy he is and, eventually, the two grow to be friends--no spoiler alert, come on, it's obvious! The idea of unity here is well-defined but Waititi resolves to some annoying shticks to get it done. For instance, he plays Adolf Hitler--not the actual Adolf Hitler but Jojo's choice for an imaginary friend. He often appears to Jojo and acts in a boyish manner. The surreal representation is cool at first but as it goes on, it starts to become pointless and its shtick wears thin. Happily, it's over before it becomes cringeworthy and is, nonetheless, an interesting exercise in screenwriting. More heartwarming supporting characters arise in the form of Captain Klenzendorf (Sam Rockwell) tasked with preparing the city for imminent invasion. He looks like he fights a losing fight and he knows it, but he keeps his chin up. The ending is fitting and expected, even if it doesn't define much which hasn't already been defined in this movie. To me, the only explanation to the weird pace and dreamy representation of the ending battle is that Waititi shows this movie through the eyes of children--unable to fully grasp and comprehend its entirety so neither do we, watching.",6 "This movie is definitely not as good as everyone is making it out to be. The movie starts off simply enough. Miles is your average Hollywood teen, who is the son of the only police officer in New York City. And if you want to see yet another person get bitten by a radioactive spider, then you're in luck. 75% of the film is Miles trying and failing to be Spiderman. He's incapable of controlling any of his powers, and does little more than get in the way and utter cliche lines such as ""I have to do this. I promised."" It's rather frustrating to watch. But conveniently, he figures everything out in the last half hour and becomes a better hero than all the other Spidermen who've been in the business for years. Speaking of everyone else, as the story progresses, the audience is introduced to more and more Spiderman variations (and more unusual villains). With so much content, they barely get any more than just a few minutes of screen time. Spiderman Noir was interesting, for the five lines he had. I'm pretty sure there was some kind of Penny Porker character, but I may be mistaken. There's also a Scorpion villain who shows up out of nowhere, then mostly disappears. As a whole, the movie was filmed assuming that the audience's attention span is a about 1 second. Most jokes are cringe worthy, especially after you've seen them in the trailer. There's also way too much flash going on, and the movie's final scene is about as visually complex as a Jackson Pollock spatter painting. Spiderverse doesn't do anything that hasn't been done time and again.",3 "Can not understand how someone who is not a 6 year old can find this movie interesting. A waste of time and money for any adult, male or female. All people I spoke to were very disappointed. Poor story, poor execution. Acting was OK. Dancing was OK. But this is the 21st century, Hollywood can do better. much better. this may have been considered a good movie 30-50 years ago. not today. Not even 1 element in the movie that is new, that brings to life a new point of view, that hasn't been treated before, in a better manner, in so many movies. Nothing that makes you wonder or dream. I am trying to think of a good word regarding the movie... maybe the acting, which was OK. that's it.",1 "If you want someone to start watching anime, Death Note is a great show to suggest. Watched all 37 episodes in 2 days which would usually make me sick of it, but I just had to know what happened next after very episode. Amazing characters and cat and mouse chase; there are certain episodes I go back and watch individually from time to time just because of how good they are. Unfortunately for reasons I won't spoil the last 1/3 of the show is not nearly as good as the first 2/3, but the finale is worth pushing through until. Would highly recommend this show to everyone who isn't sensitive to thrillers and violence.",9 How on earth did this show make it on the air and manage ratings above a 1 or 2? Utterly pointless and stupid in every way.,1 "It's just good, what else can I say?? Ok, let's see what can we say about this, nothing.",8 "This movie is made by all the best people in bollywood. Its a wonderful collab. Actors, director, supporting actors, script writer, lyricist, composer. Each and every feild is lit. So the result is a extraordinary biopic like this",10 I want to start with i have been a spider-man fan since i was a child. it never once occurred to me to add anime or any other worthless characters into the mix. this would of been better as a stand alone movie. it felt as though the new owners have no respect for the legacy that they have purchased. my kid said it was okay and will more than likely never see it again. i gave this 3 stars because i just had the attitude that it wasnt a spider-man movie.,3 "The blu-ray has been lying here for centuries without play since the player did not accept the discs despite updates ( not the only on the planet with this problem , thank you Fox ), so new player and finally seen this movie. Impressed ? no . Characters: couldn't care less. Story : seen before, no twists , predictable. Action : mediocre . Romance : predictable. Special effects : didn't blow my shoes of , but nothing wrong here. All in all , nothing special and not worth the hype. If anything is good : its better than that crap movie Prometheus. It seems nowadays that some directors are more occupied with the visuals than the contents and as such need retirement big time.",4 "Like i said that Raid is not your routine masala movie, because it have no illogical twists and turns, it have plain story line with amazing story telling, the chemistry between the two ajay devgn and saurab shukhla is simply hilarious, grabbed my attention from 1st scene to last scene, there are so many moments between ajay and saurab that crave me to see more scenes like this, simply amazing, there is lot of tension atmosphere created by the whole cast, even the all family members of tauji in house and specially amma character that will laugh us in tense atmosphere, the movie gives you Roller Coaster ride from beginning to end. this is not a masala movie, its a pure thriller movie with decent twists and strong performances by Ajay devgn who is the strong rod of the film, he is the right hand of this Raid and on the left hand, Saraubh Shukla as tauji is the evil for the first time, looks great and perform very well and deeply fit in his role, no one can replace tauji, illeana D'crz looks beautiful and play her limited role very pretty amazing, she have little screen presence and it was great. the songs are simply awesome but looked forced because the sequence of the song ""Sajna teray bina"" is comed in very illogical time, i think they should cover the songs in first 20 minutes in the movie, the songs sequences disturbs, so raid is the thrilling ride of fun and suspense, direction is very good and covered all things in tauji house very well as well as the romance between ajay and illeana. So Go and Watch it because after a long time bollywood come up with true and movie.",10 "I knew after the last episode I would want to give the series a 10 but it doesn't deserve it by having a great finale, there were 2 episodes midway that were enjoyable but the quality slipped again after, it seemed the episodes were 4/5 filler material and 1/5 plot which was annoying due to the low run time and 9 episodes and being a limited series, the only exception to this for me was ep 5,6,9 I think a lot of the hype around this is the fan theories that happened every week which were more fun then the show tbh, and the fact it's the mcu so you have to watch it because it will tie in with the movies On the plus side the 3 great episodes were great start to end which was upsetting because the quality was there and could have been in all the episodes, I know it was a string along show for week to week but the huge epic payout wasn't even there. I'm not a hater of this show I just feel it could have been so much better, for people that want to know the main parts for the movies, I'd watch the last 2 episodes.",5 "I loved the first 5 seasons of Black Mirror and was waiting eagerly to watch season 6 only to be disappointed. I somewhat enjoyed episode1, but it was lacking something and for a BM episode I was overall disappointed. Episode 2 again was somewhat enjoyable but as a BM episode I was expecting a whole lot more. Episode 3 was interesting but again fell short of exciting. Episode 4 was plain BORING despite me loving the actress Zazie Beetz. Episode 5 Was the one I enjoyed the most. It transported me back to early 70's northern England, the music was great, the storyline was enjoyable but again, despite being the most enjoyable episode for me it was still lacking whatever magic Black Mirror usually gives. Pretty forgettable season to be honest. I will always love Black Mirror Season 3 Episode 3 (shut up and dance) because of the actor Alex Lawther who is always a treasure to watch, but after the disappointment of the latest season I thing it's time for the show to end.....unless of course they find their way back to what made the first 5 seasons good..",5 "Its just a family drama and not even very deep one, and not a very good one. Family drama is on the level of average tv series... Concept of multiverse portrayed very nice and gives you the glimpse of how it feels. But thats it, movie awfuly lacks in deepness. Production is on level but costume design is awful. Goofy devices that let you jump through universes are looking ok-ish, but the headquarters of Joy with beagle and people in there looks awful. There is no creativeness in their costumes its ruining the vibe so hard, its unbearable. Overall its a trippy family drama with cosmic twist about multiverse. Do not expect much from this movie.",4 "A good movie requires more than just good acting and amazing cinematography... there's a reason why the Academy Awards look at more than these two categories. A truly good movie brings together all the elements film making, in different ways and with differing priority, to form a coherent one. Yes, this movie was nice to look at, maybe even entertaining, but it didn't 'move me' in any way; I didn't get to know most of the characters and there was no plot to feel in some way engaged in. In the end I didn't care anymore period. A movie needs to be moving - to me that's the criteria of a good movie. I'm sure QT became the cineaste that he is because the movies he saw moved him in some way. Hopefully for his 'last' film he will remember why people want to see movies; why we loved his movies in the past.",2 "Nothing really happening ....Captain Marvel is in it for a bit...Black Panther was in it too, not sure why Dramatic scenes purely over the top....just seems like they tried to fit all 5000 Avengers into this film and actually forgot about the film 3 hours, I'll never get back .......one good battle scene tho",2 "Just finished watching Wandavision.

I owned the Albums (yes vinyl's) of ""West Side Story,"" ""The Sound of Music"" ""Music Man"" and more. ""Les Misérables"" is my favorite movie of all time. So when the critics went CRAZY for this movie calling it the Academy Award Movie of the year and nominated for the ""Golden Globe Award"" I was excited. I did notice that only two theaters chose to show it the week I saw it, meaning the theaters weren't very impressed with its appeal. The theater owners were right. This is the most disappointing movie I've seen this year. ------------------------------------------- Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) & Mia (Emma Stone0 ""are"" the story and they are ""ok."" As always I liked J.K. Simmons in his (very) small role and I liked John Legend in his small role. That's it! I didn't care for the music, the story or how it was told. An hour and a half into the movie I thought that even a great ending wasn't going to save this movie. I didn't need to worry. The ending was the worst part of the movie. The critics are going on-and-on about the 31-year old writer and director of this movie. It looked like it was written and directed by an adolescent to me.",2 Everyone shouting in each other s face. Dialogue tries to be real and raw replete with f words but comes out as repetitive and annoying. Occasional fights and people getting pissed. Did not want to wait for the 2nd better half as some reviewers stated. A movie about trash people and low lives if you are interssted.,4 "Hillariosly funny, occasionally violent and tearfully heart rendering film about love and fate. Anybody who watches this film who is single will be left with such a longing to be in love. Jeon Ji-hyun is beguiling as the deceptively complex sassy girl and Korean pop singer Tae Hyun Cha transcends any doubts about casting a mere pop star in such a role. Korean cinema is unique in its ability to mix tones in a single genre, and this film manges to surf comedy, action, romance, drama and sentimentality without getting lost. I can't imagine a US version pulling this off. There is no need to remake this picture, it is perfect. Though perhaps a remake, no matter how artistically successful, will turn people on to the original. If you want to track this down on Region 3 DVD, there is a director's's cut but I would recommend the shorter version. The extra scenes are great but the pacing is better in the original. If you end up loving this film as much as I do then check out WINDSTRUCK, which was the director's follow up to this and also stars Jeon. It's a bit of a miss-mash but it's worth seeing for the last 2 minutes. You'll understand why!",10 "It is sad that in this day and age, with all the resources available to deliver a good product, NETFLIX has come up SO SHORT. The premise was very promising in the sense of a remake of the sixties series. BUT THIS IS TERRIBLE. I think mainly is the bad writing. Visual effects very good. Acting, above average. But characters SO ILLOGICAL, NOT BELIEVABLE. A waste of time really. SCI-FY without the science part too. Unacceptable today. (imho) 2 stars for special effects.",2 "That sums it up. The movie is fairly endless in action and one liners. However the story line is so chaotic as to be almost senseless. Although the acting in individual scenes is decent, the movie just isn't cohesive. I wanted to like it more but because of how the movie is edited and thrown together, the move just fails. Action sequences, stunt choreography etc are all over the top. As another reviewer said, this is the most Michael Bay movie Michael Bay ever Michael Bayed. So much potential but such a waste. If all you want to do is watch people get shot, get blown among total chaos - then its entertaining.",4 "The concept of Inception is a very appealing one, and the film is wonderfully inventive. It's also not as confusing or effects-heavy as some have said - the story is actually very well constructed. That just makes it all the more frustrating, because Inception has some very hard to define flaws that prevents it from being a truly great movie - most of all the very uninteresting characters. It's not exactly that they're flat - they're all convincing enough and the dialog is fluent enough, but none of them deserve any true emotion or interest from the viewer. It's a good movie by any measure, and yet - like every previous Christopher Nolan movie - stops just short of being a fantastic one.",6 I found this movie boring. Very disappointing. Just seemed to meander for 2 hours. some funny bits I will say but very few and far between. I thought Daniel Craig was joking with that accent and was going to start speaking properly!! A waste of 2 hours,2 "People are so sensitive. I thought the film was fun and engaging. Apparently I'm not supposed to like this movie because I'm conservative. I had no issues with it. Not even Daniel Craig's accent, which reminded me quite a bit of John Goodman doing a southern accent, offended me. The movie wasn't anything new, but it had the spirit of an old mystery film, which is why I liked it.",7 "In the 2021 series ""Loki,"" the mischievous character resumes his antics post ""Avengers: Endgame."" The show boasts a strong ensemble, with Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson shining particularly bright together. However, despite their efforts, the series falls flat due to a convoluted storyline and questionable character development. The chemistry among the cast is palpable, but it can't save the hollow plot or the absurdity of the multiverse concept. The attempt to emulate ""Doctor Who"" with a Loki twist fails to deliver a compelling narrative. The writing lacks depth and coherence, with the storyline meandering without purpose. Season 2 exacerbates these issues, with Jonathan Majors' performance drawing criticism for its affected stutter. The plot becomes increasingly nonsensical, relying on the charisma of the cast to maintain any semblance of engagement. It's evident that Disney is prioritizing spectacle over substance, banking on the franchise's popularity to carry weak storytelling. The fundamental flaws in the show's premise, such as the TVA's ability to reset timelines at will, undermine any tension or stakes. Questions about character motivations and the logic of the universe remain unanswered, highlighting the show's lack of narrative cohesion. In summary, ""Loki"" suffers from poor writing and a reliance on gimmicks rather than meaningful storytelling. Despite strong performances, the series fails to deliver a compelling narrative, ultimately leaving viewers disappointed and questioning the direction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.",7 "I wasn't even aware what this movie was about and saw it on my local app channel. I enjoyed this movie. I had my laptop out the whole time and fact checked parts of the movie that I found unbelievable and as it turns out, this movie is almost 100% fact. I liked the characters and the way Spielberg came up with special effects as a kid is incredible. It shows how some people are just born with innate talent and how just one little thing sparks an interest in a child that can bring them to superstardom. I enjoyed Spielberg's nerdy father overexplains the simplest concepts as well as the tension in the relationship between him and his mother.",8 "NO, one shouldn't compare movies. But here, it's validated, since both part one and two are based on one book, so I WILL. And on its own, this one is just no match for part one. It's good; we have flawless production values and cinematography. Jumping between past and present works and mix of locations (wintry family residence and tropical Cuba) helps. But the major drawbacks are: 1. Its length. 2. Its stretched-out storytelling and protraction of many scenes, which made my attention and interest drop considerably. It is simply too draggy and meandering. I just FEEL so much more watching part one, because it cuts more to the chase - tighter, darker and deeper. This one seems made to sprawl - but stalls a bit too often. However, some of the characters develop nicely (more depth from both Keaton, Cazale and Shire) , and the family heritage is cemented every time we move to Vito Corleone's younger days. Make no mistake, it's fine, solid and an indispensable part of the whole saga, but sorry folks - it's no masterpiece to me. 6 out of 10 from Ozjeppe.",6 "The Godfather Part II was a very good movie, very well written and acted, but not my favorite Godfather movie. Let me tell you why. I didn't like when the movie would cut from one storyline to the other. (I like to focus on one thing at a time) Michael showed a very dark side of him in this movie, I.E hitting Kay, I like that. That's one of the things I liked about the movie, I like seeing a dark side of a character and how well the actor can play that part and Al Pacino portrayed him excellently . But they didn't go deep enough into Michael's emotions, you really didn't get a chance to understand him as well as in the Godfather III. In all honesty I think that the Godfather and the Godfather III are the best in the series and are a major contribution to the cinema, I just hope they won't make a forth one. That'll ruin the series for sure.",8 "If you've seen The Happening then you basically already seen this one: a group of people trapped in a house with their blinds down. Nature is striking back and trying to kill them. There's the Black Guy (friendly, but eventually doomed), the Asian (innovative but too optimistic), the Old Lady (unreliable), the Old Man (grumpy but goodhearted) and so on. Haven't seen so many clichés in one movie for a long time. Not very scary, unless you find rattling leaves frightening.",3 "All sizzle, no steak. There is no meaningful story, or arc for anyone here. Its just 'bank, bank', 'run, run', 'hit, hit'. Always been a Tom fan and Hayley is beautiful, but this film is just cartoonish nonsense. The supposed storyline is all about a MacGuffin; a key that everyone wants, but seemingly no one knows what it is for. There is something scary called the 'Entity' which knows everything about everyone and what they are going to do, but then that notion gets dropped and we get another actions sequence that accomplishes nothing. Confused by the way they have the Ethan character seemingly confused at times and then scared, even cowardly at others. If this is an attempt to add depth, it fails badly. The whole thing is just a cliched popcorn muncher for those who don't need characters, story or meaning. Sorry, that's not me.",2 "Making it clear, the film is good, it's not bad quite the contrary, however, as it is a film that continues the story of iron man after the first film, then this has to be evaluated too, and the film is not at all bad, but don't watch it (Iron Man 2) thinking it will be better than the first one which is one of the best marvel movies. The film is very well done, you can be sure that you will see incredible special effects, better than the first, photographs, scenarios and scenes very well done, the villain Black Whip using his whip weapons, cutting cars and using the whips are beautiful scenes that deserve to receive gifs; and speaking of characters, this film brings + characters, and very cool characters, Scarlett Johansson as Natalie (Black Widow) is great in this film, without a doubt the best of the new characters presented along with Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury are the best characters from this film, Robert Downey Jr is still amazing as Iron Man (Tony Stark) a little below the first film but still good, within so many other characters. It has already been made clear, the film has many good things, but it is a very ""belly"" film, it seems that it only existed to introduce new characters and be just another Iron Man adventure, because otherwise the film is very forgettable , you can watch the whole movie and then try to remember exactly all the events, out of 10 people who watch it, 2 will remember correctly, the villain is cool but he is very forgettable and he only has two fights, and very fast fights, which are resolved in a matter of 10 minutes, the villain is forgettable, the fights are boring (with the exception of the first one) in addition to having content without explanation. It's a watchable movie, it's not bad, but the first one is far superior.",5 "This is really an espionage film masquerading as a bombastic superhero movie. Subversive and thoughtful with some of the best choreographed fight scenes. I wish the later films would've taken more from this, not just the characters, but the pacing and story. No blue beam in the sky.",10 Action is good. But it is not worth it. Unnecessary plots. One man killing the whole army. Seriously. You can see it if you have seen everything else and have nothing else on the list.,2 Awesome series. Unfortunately second season isn't as good as the first but it's still amazing. Can't wait for season three!,9 Mutants vs humans. Magicians vs humans. Sorry but won't buy it. Terrible plot. No beginning no end. Scenery and effects are nice though.,3 "It's easy to say out of the four seasons ""which one was best"" or ""my favourite season was"" but looking at it as a whole, this was a well needed series, showcasing hard hitting issues through the eyes of school children. As a gay man, now 34 years old, I only wish something like this was more accessible or talked about when I was in high school. EVERY single topic throughout the four seasons were done with grace, compassion and honesty. The whole cast and crew should be incredibly proud of what has just ended. Bravo!!",9 "Superb psychological thriller, hats off to Tamil cinema for making this kind of movie.",9 "I watched 5 episodes till now and it's really good. I don't understand why people are comparing it with GoT. I think any sort of Fantasy shows will now be compared with GoT now we are in that zone. Nobody is appreciating The Witcher uniqueness all I've been seeing from morning is some random critic saying ""it's no GoT"" well I'm a huge fan of GoT but you can't dwell in the past and compare apples with oranges.This so called critics insulting Witcher is just pathetic if they don't like it they could tell it's not a good show without comapring with GoT. The Witcher is definitely worth a watch and you will like it if you watch it with open mind.",9 "Can't think of a more dumb movie in recent times. Juvenile jokes based on every Japanese stereotype. Oh you poor guys can't pronounce ""r"" like us? How sad! Oh look how much more advanced we Americans are! Looking at the number of 10/10s that reviewers have given, I feel it is my duty to give this movie a 1/10 and do my bit to bring its rating down. I hope the rest of you can also join me and do your duty to bring the rating down for this trash of a movie.",1 "I can only summarize the movie as horrible. This movie is confusing, poorly acted, awfully directed and a five year old can write a better script. I love Harry Potter, read all the books (a few times) and seen all the movies. This movie is something completely different and though it tries to hint that it is in Harry Potter world I can't seem to find one redeeming quality in this film that has any connection what so ever to Harry Potter. The movie was flat out boring and unwatchable, some cringe moments added in with sup par effects made me face palm myself saying out loud ""What is going on here?"" To make it short, this movie is one of the worst movies I have seen in a long while, it's a complete mess with a very weak plot. I am extremely disappointed that this is what they could do with a 180 Million Dollar budget and a HUGE world full of potential.",2 "Jeg følte mig meget godt underholdt, håber der en sæson 2",8 "Just because most other shows are crap these days doesn't mean this one automatically gets a 10 star rating. I'm not a fan of Kate Winslett but she did win me over in this series. The scenes that she was in were much better that I expected and the series is interesting. It is also very slow moving at times, has tons of cliches like other reviewers point out and it can be a grind to watch. By the end things become a bit more obvious and the story doesn't get quite as engaging as the first few episodes. The last, 7th show is a let down and doesn't add much, perhaps it should have been cut or edited as it's not needed as the story has already finished. Much like and epilogue. This series is similar The Killing with it's strong female lead with flaws and dark undertones throughout. But it's not as good, yet still watchable. This one is not as dark and comparatively simple and should not be extended a 2nd season.",6 "First of all i was confused of the title, because i did not know what 'Winter soldier' stands for. Than when i watched trailers and movie i realized that the title is great. Winter soldier is a great surprise, i love surprises and i loved Bucky. The length, the direction and the music is awesome. Especially when the winter soldier is coming in the cadre. It is just incredible how i loved it all, especially when they are all funny and witty... thats just why 'CA;WS' is superb. I can not compare any previous movie of Thor and Ironman to that of Captain America. It has completely different aura and atmosphere. And thats the best part, it really follows all other stories of Thor, Ironman, Avengers, and of course Captain America first Avenger. Also it inspires me and my work, i am an artist and enjoy all the films even more, because i can use parts of colors and toys they all have to fight with, i can interpret heroes in my own way and play. i really recommend to enjoy this film while watching! Chris Evans and Scarlet Johannson are just great actors and all others of course. Wish for more young and new actors, did not like Robert Redford in the film. But i am glad his role is finished with this movie. :) loved it, enjoyed it and am looking FW to the third part.... it is really the best Marvel movie i have ever seen.",10 "When the promos where on, I was expecting comic riot. But the story as it unfolded, it was more like village drama, anything but hilarious. Lethargic writing, neither close reality nor close to an interesting fiction. The performances are decent but wasted by poor storyline. The Backdrop had better potential than any other to give best fun outing of a village, but completely missed. A lost opportunity. There's a Tamil Movie called ""Mundasuppatti"" on Hotstar. That's perhaps shown the best fun about a village.",3 "Decent start after the first 3 episodes. Good action, intriguing main character, however the female side-character could be removed from the show and we wouldn't lose anything of value, she's just there and that's about it, i never read the Moon Knight comics, so maybe she has super powers as well in future episodes. So far, much better than the other Marvel garbage.",5 "STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning Following a calamitous tragedy in Nigeria, the Avengers find themselves being hounded for regulation, and to become accountable for their actions. Tony Stark can see the reasoning in this, while Rogers believes the team should have the power to go about their affairs in total freedom. This builds to a climactic showdown between the two opposing sides, before an even deadlier enemy threatens to throw them all into total oblivion. The serious cinema-goer has certainly, over the last few years, been forced to have a radical attitude re-adjustment to the concept of the superhero film, and its possibilities in the grand scheme of filmic merit. It's gone from being the sole preserve of an exclusive, distinctive flock of audience, to being accepted on a more grand, theatrical level. These child-minded figures, in their peculiar and fanciful costumes, have been heralded as almost Shakespearian in their Machiavellianism, and Captain America: Civil War is the logical conclusion to this thumping pomposity. Strangely, with all this in mind, the film is ultimately still most impressive as an action spectacular, dazzling when brought to life in 3D, and taking you on a magical, mystical action packed journey that bursts into life at various points in its nearly three hour length. This is truly aiming to be the biblical comic book film, exploring relevant, human themes and placing the various iconic characters in respective roles. All of this, though, is its curse as well as its blessing. As sensibly impressive as it is, ultimately most of it's problems can be started with the word over. It's overlong, overblown, overwrought, overbearing, overwhelming and presumably over-budget. All of this causes it to lose the fun factor a bit, and so Avenger's Assemble remains the best of the lot. ***",7 "Besides the 3rd rate production quality and bad casting, this show very poorly written. I don't know how the rating is so high. But it's a few hours I'll never get back.",1 "Disappointing. After seeing it recently, I am surprised by all the positive reviews for 'Dunkirk'. A Major Historical event but the film did not build a coherent plot around it . Poor story-telling. In an early scene, soldiers are fired upon, but who are they and who is shooting at them? Is it 'friendly fire'? It is unclear. And, where are the enemy ground forces, how close are they to Dunkirk, are the enemy armies advancing or standing still? We are not shown that. Also, I expected some portrayal of the reaction by the British command in London. How was the leadership deaing with the very possible loss of 300,000 soldiers, (and of the war!). Nope, not portrayed. And I don't recall seeing any of Dunkirk's civilian population in this drama, surely they must have had concerns that could have been demonstrated. Or did Dunkirk's civilians manage to flee earlier? What of the men, women and children who lived there? Surely that is part of the story. An artistic, creative film that derives its substance from a real event needs to have respect for historical accuracy & background. And for the interest of the audience in such context. Otherwise, just make a totally fictional movie & call it 'Donburp', 'Seatown Retreat' or something else. The music was loud, mediocre and somewhat annoying. The photography was good but the enduring images are of lines of fully uniformed soldiers standing knee deep in the sea (Engish Channel) waiting for their ships to come in. (I hope the extras were paid well; It has been reported that the film had at least $100+ million financing). Dunkirk is the story of a crisis that had, incredibly, an unexpected positive outcome. It deserved better treatment.",3 Love this show. I'm no critic but I enjoy a great tv show and this had me hooked from the first episode. Can't wait for the next season. Thought the casting was a perfect fit. The daughter doctor maybe a little unconvincing being so young but all in all a great show.,8 Surprised to see the average rating of 7.6 !! This deserves a 9 star instead if not a complete 10.,10 Besides all of the internal elements which are amazing the glory of Hannibal lays not with its Avant Guard visuals and objects themselves but with there orchestration in time. In sequence. This show is the most ingeniously paced and plotted shows when it comes to timing and time. The actors are all aware of this sense of pacing and timing and they exude performances which indicate this awareness.,10 "The reason these movies log hours interesting how Netflix doesn't offer if subscriptions increased the month of that film. However it's simple if you search for ""Jack Nicholson"" you're lucky if you find more than two titles without Anger Management. Netflix has gone from replacing Blockbuster to its own Network. It rarely offers New Releases... The bulk of its content is reject and foreign. So if they stayed the course they could have the different plans based on viewing time or other metric as a streaming video store with a flat rate. Instead you rent from Amazon, Apple, Google, or your TV provider on PPV. Paying soon 25 a month to get bombs out of Michael Bay, and attempted salvation by a high paid cast will eventually be the demise in the US.",1 Although I would like to make every excuse as to why this movie straight-up sucked it was very boring because of a few reasons. Reason 1 is that I could tell there was like no money and limited resources. Reason 2 is because the plot came out on screen exactly how it was written with every artist secretly agreeing in their own subconsiouses that the writer wrote it with negativity in their loins. Reason 3 is Margo. Reason 4 is that I was homeless when I saw Barbie in theatres and due to recent influx of Barbie and actually eligible bachelors for these girls I could focus on watching the movie. Reason 5 is that I hope to see the movie again with someone.,5 "This movie start and end with BANG!!!!!Action scenes were choreographed with lot of thought and you will definitely enjoy them. But when it comes to story, its pretty straightforward and there is hardly any depth to characters. Movie also has some damn good songs :P. If you are just looking to spent some good time and dont want to watch any dark or slow burn moves, watch it, its worth your time :)",7 The movie is filled with a lot of dark humour. And it's live up to its name. Rajkumar Rao acted very well. Abhishek's part were just too sad. Else it has a very good ending. Also it remains secular even when it had two mythical deity from Hinduism with just one line. A must watch film.,9 Season 4 is extremely good and what I love in these sort of series! First 3 season were okay and I don't think I would have got to the 4th season if it was for my girlfriend making me watch it.,7 Its so typical for a superhero movie They could have made it funnier,6 "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D will let you know that something is missing in the Marvel world. Not even Gregg and Smulders are capable of break-even with the show's lack of... maybe real HEROES? Okay... I know... it's not about the ""Big Guys""... but the show could at least make use of some CGI heroes in the background... just to show that, eventually, they do share the same space. But the show is more disappointing than that... first they are still trapped in that search for super-humans (they should ask DC Comics and go to Smallville) and even S.H.I.E.L.D.'s HQ trade mark, that marvelous flying fortress, went missing. It was replaced by a matte-black-plane with exquisite engines (probably running on gases expelled from the front ones). I was expecting to see an effective team work, supported by technology... but every agent seems busy... playing with unusual gadgets until the miraculous technology reveals itself (like silver plates x-ray) to jump-start their dead-brains. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. need to focus in numbers instead of lead roles. Please, they are S.H.I.E.L.D... not Heroes, not GI-Joe nor Mutant-X. P.s.: there will be a time when writers will create characters that are not capable of hacking into super secret agencies from old vans... and that will make everything more interesting.",5 10 episode drama for 10 minute fight. And the actors are way too ugly.,5 "I really wanted to like Inception because of great cast, because of stunning music, because of an interesting premise (Pros). But nope... It needs more than that to make a movie work for me. Cons: There's no character development, no engaging personal relations and no soul... Plain action disguised as dreamworld&psych exploration. And too much action just killed it for me. Not that I dislike some action from time to time, especially if it serves it's purpose (ie Fight club, Equilibrium...) but action in Inception was it's primary and only relevant element. Everything other served holy action and everything happened in the name of action. Interesting plot was there to support action, not vice versa:( Like some of the other reviewers, I see some similarity between this one and Shutter island (beside of DiCaprio:) But I liked Shutter island much much more. They both pretend to be mind twisters, tense and clever. Shutter island almost did it, but Inception missed the point. And I blame Nolan for that. Too pretentious director made a too pretentious movie. So just 7,3 from me",7 ✨HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY !!!!!✨ 🚂🚂🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌 and a great honor for Tony Scott.,5 "You can throw all the technical razzamatazz at the screen you want. You can tempt us with sumptuous visuals and eye-popping 3D effects. But when a film is boring, its boring. Sandra Bullock drifting through space talking to herself is boring. George Clooney acting like a wise ass with a heart is boring. Seeing floating debris and explosions in space when you never feel anyone is in danger is boring. Attempts at sentimentality using the hoariest clichés in the screenplay book is boring. Writing this review now is boring. In fact, I think I'll stop. Right now. Cos I'm bored. The most overrated movie since Inception. 3/10",3 Please ignore the 10/10s as other pointed out it looks like there was a budget to buy good reviews. I agree with all the reviews that are way lower. The movie is just a unexplained mess of plot twists that are not properly justified or explained. Only good thing are the action scenes.,5 "I wasn't expecting much story in the movie. I was expecting some world destruction like ""Man of Steel"" or ""Thor: The dark world"". But this movie is much better in terms of story, characters, humor and action. This movie has no jaw-dropping special effects of awesome CGI imaginations, which is good because we had enough of that already. Instead the scrip rely on humor to make the action scenes more interesting. The writers have kept the story interesting so that you don't just yawn through the talking waiting for the action scenes. Of course the movie has usual, predictable, lucky escapes and some logical loop holes here and there, but that doesn't distract much to reject the movie before it ends. Overall, it's a good movie, worth the cinema ticket and some way adds to the marvel universe that's developing pretty quickly. I wouldn't watch this movie again but I won't complain if I am made to.",7 "Worst film of all time (and I include Solaris in that). I can't see how anyone could possibly like this film! Oh I occasionally laughed but that was generally in sheer shock at how I let my friends drag me to see it. The plot made no sense, nuns are funnier and bluntly it was just stupid. I would like someone to really explain to me why they liked it, I cannot be persuaded I assure you but it would be interesting to hear their reasons. Personally I would advise anyone who has been unfortunate to buy the DVD to burn it immediately and bury the ashes so future generations will never have the misfortune to witness it.",1 "Seriously who could thought this movie can get a worser and worser??? When movie got delayed during COVID I knew I was up for this movie I knew I wasn't excited and pumped for this then when trailer came out it did nothing for me nothing at all, the movie and humour was just over top stupid rather then making an R-RATED Venom vs Carnage film because Carnage is evil character, evil looking creature he is and plus a serial killer killed a lot of victim's?? Yeah that movie is for kids who would thought making Carnage PG-13?? Would be good idea?? I love to know who?? You know what everyone you might wanna show Natural Born Killers that's like me making Natural Born Killers with PG-13 that would lamest, laziness, dumbest film of all time in film history like this movie, rather having a dark, gritty, sinister, gore film it is like Disney cartoon film that could been made in 90's. Seriously inserted making Carnage evil character they made like comedy like if this movie was parody like scary movie type this like parody this movie was taken nothing series. The director Andy Serkis is actor known Lord of Rings that's play's little monster Gollum who says my Precious like if Venom was his Precious?? But he made movie like Circus it makes me wanna hate Lord of Rings even more even with this movie I hated everything about movie, it lost so much potential in movie so much it lost it in more then 100 yards, Andy Serkis is terrible director to me he doesn't know nothing to Carnage character nothing at all oh he looks evil but let's make it PG-13 so if Venom is R-RATED it would flop well let me give you a list Deadpool 1-2 was such successful, Logan, Suicide Squad 2, Joker, Netflix Marvel series like Daredevil, Punisher, Jessica Jones I know their aren't box office hit because they are TV series look at success they had. But Venom sadly you had so much things to do with R-RATED but nope let's have PG-13 Circus film, with off-screen kills witch is lame, lame jokes, none of staff I found funny expect for at end showdown let me tell you something this sequel hasn't changed for bit since past 2 years (2018) Venom film sadly to say Tom Hardy character still play's a loser, play's a dumbass type. Only thing they changed was more of rememberable villain was Carnage that was it people love it and like it because of Carnage is in movie wow... this movie is forgettable as well next day you will forget this movie slaright away. Story follows detective Mulligan (Stephen Graham), contacts Eddie Brock/ Venom (Tom Hardy) to speak to Cletus Kasady / Carnage (Woody Harrison), a serial killer who refuses to talk to anyone other than Brock following their interview a year prior. After visiting him Cletus goes in Lethal Injection death sentence he turns into Carnage is because before execution he bitten Eddie finger Red Blood turned into like Venom that's how he turned like one. Another character Frances Barrison / Shriek that plays by Naomie Harris I didn't recognize her until I looked cast. Her character didn't do much nothing in movie all she does is screams loud makes your eyes bleed like movie does. This movie is such a waste, waste, waste of Venom a waste in a terrible film if it's written better and if it's R-RATED it was low level of violence it had (PG13 and all that), do not expect this to be any better don't expect R-RATED please don't if you do your gonna be very wrong about this. Making Tom Hardy single again. Apparently, things didn't work out between him and Anne (Michelle Williams) like in first film wasn't was new Chatty Cathy Venom we had to endure. Here is this sinister, brain-eating, alien symbiote that wants to be a comedian ALL THE TIME. It was flat out amazing how much Venom talked, and not in a good way. Then Venom leaves Eddie body jumps to everyone at streets he goes to party he does a speech to party does a microphone speech about Eddie doesn't want Venom no more??? Making him like cry baby... see I think nowadays Marvel is dead to me superhero films are dead too me very dead flat dead just like with this movie. Look I understand in comics has humour in Venom character I understand you can have Levity that's Fine But not over the top comedy like in 1st and in this movie there's a FULLY blown chaos comedy. There are a difference between levity and a full blown comedy childish comedy trash like you see in kids movies or cartoon films just like since Batman & Robin (1997) takes itself nothing seriously I don't get why people defend film?? I expect a Venom movie to have Venom actually fight bad guys and at times be vicious. Not for it be a 'long, unfunny episode' of The Odd Couple. Especially one with Carnage in it. If you expect something different to this sequel well let me tell you something theirs NOTHING different in this sequel don't expect R-RATED gritty violence, don't expect dark perfect script, perfect writing I wish that was but it's not it's full on childish film. This movie is called Let their be Carnage let me tell you this theirs no Carnage in this movie. Their is name Carnage in film but not actual no movie like he goes around kills people show him as that creature going for rampage, film title is called Carnage but theirs no Blood that he does in film, no Venom does Mic-drop like kids film. If you wanna see Carnage without creature all that even it's played by Woodly Harrison go watch Natural Born Killers in 90's film he play's like Carnage but he doesn't turn into creature Carnage but he play's a serial killer that shows more violence more things in it him playing butcher and he butchered girl family.. that should been in this film if people are defending those 1-2 Venom films they are completely wrong 100% Carnage should never be PG-13 film at all he is evil, lunatic, psychopath character, scary looking guy, something more like sinister type but no you have comedy type of character in movie. Unbelievable I saw this movie for free thank goodness I didn't pay for it at all I didn't pay for first one I saw it with friend 3 years ago I got to see it for free I will never spend a ticket to see movie give my money away to go see Venom in big screen reason I saw this movie is because I saw it for free at my friends place and I wanted to see Carnage in film that's it. Theirs big issue when Venom is PG I don't understand why they can't make Venom R-RATED make that R-RATED but because it's PG-13 because it wants to be related to Spider-Man films so let Spiderman be PG-13 have Venom, let have R-RATED Venom to be on it's own rating of film.. but nope it can't because that's not fair at all even title is called Carnage PG-13 dumpster crap director is god awful he needs to go back to his crave go and direct more 50 other lord of rings crap. Sorry for long review but this is how much crap this movie really is.",1 Just hate this movie. Didn't expect this from you Thor 😔,1 "Silver Linings Playbook"" was a must watch movie on my wish list after it picked up 8 Oscar nominations (not to mention that it stars one of my all time favorite, Robert De Niro) this year. Not only it has cornered all the big nominations this year, SLP is the only movie since ""Reds"" in 1981 to pick up all the 4 acting nods (Best Actor/Actress, Best Supporting Actor/Actress). With so much going for it, its natural for the viewer to expect something out of the ordinary. Alas, the only thing not ""ordinary"" about the movie is that it revolves around a bunch of ""abnormal"" people. By way of story, SLP is about Bradley Cooper's character, who suffers from Bipolar Disorder, and his tryst with all the other neurotic, obsessive compulsive, dysfunctional, superstitious people and other plain weirdos that he encounters with alarming regularity in the tiny little town he resides in. Based on ex high school teacher Matthew Quick's eponymous novel, SLP neither turns out to be a screw ball, irreverent comedy (something like ""Crazy People""), nor is it a feel good, heart warming tale (like ""Forrest Gump"") or not even an accurate depiction of the real life situations of bipolar people (remember Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn in ""Lust for Life""). So what is SLP all about? I don't really know and neither does the Director David O Russell. He tries hard to make SLP a rom-com, a comedy, a quirky fun film, a family drama, a feel good film about the proverbial under dog, but eventually ends up with a mish-mash tasting more like yesterday's stale left overs. The only silver lining of this largely forgettable effort is an assured, confident and bravura performance from its lead actor, Bradley Cooper. Cooper is the tour de force here reminding us that he is meant for bigger and better things than inane movies like ""The Hangover"". His performance is truly worthy of an Oscar nomination. Other members of the cast, including De Niro, Chris Tucker and Jennifer Lawrence, are at best adequate and at worst over the top, hamming impresarios. My recommendation to evolved movie viewers is to skip this playbook and go watch a re-run of ""One flew over the cuckoo's nest"" or ""A Beautiful Mind"" if oddball characters are your preferred choice of viewing this weekend.",5 "A fun show! They capture the essence of TV (as some of us remember it), from back in the 50's (us older folk, that is). Very well made, imho! Quite enjoyable!",8 "Al Pacino acts so well in this part 2, fully describes the character's personality, a cold and assertive part, in general a very attractive film according to character psychology.",10 "Leonardo DiCaprio was the only thing that saved this movie. Brilliant acting as usual but the rest....unbelievable. Were the producers trying the cut on expenses or something like that and hired some amateurs to be on this movie ? terrible acting of some of the characters. Another thing that drives me crazy is that it seems American film makers still don't know how to make sex scenes. Most boring sex scenes I have seen. The story is indeed interesting, funny in some ways but it could have been done in a much better way.",4 "JOJO RABBIT (2019) Ten-year-old Jojo has a silly, satirical Hitler as his imaginary playmate. Fun, right? No. The film seems to be want to show Jojo awaken from indoctrinated hatred in a humorous way. Once again I veer from the crowd. Once again I veer from the critics. Once again I was not interested from the trailer. Once again friends whose taste I often align with loved it. Once again I watched out of curiosity against my instincts. Once again I found a film to be a waste of my time. Once again I found a ""popular"" film to be offensive. Once again a popular film made me feel sad for humanity. Once again I did enjoy the color scheme in the film. Once again I should have known better, but was curious how one might possibly make the Nazis humorous. Once again the violence and hanging in the film was awful and creepy. Once again a movie with huge ratings made me sick.",1 Special way of recording with funny content. Meanwhile u also feel a bit creepy which made it even bette:) looking forward for the next episode.,8 "Impressive Teller and Simmons but I just could not watch past the corny ripped band-aids and the oh-so-long and dragging cheesy pizza date (anyways, should not THAT level of abuse be an absolute no-no?)",2 "This was a very long film which didn't really have a plot that justified it being that long. Moral of the story... Some guys get all the luck and can't see they have it. Some guys are content with nothing.",4 Must watch! Saif Ali Khan portrays Sikh character too well..Nawazzuddin Sheikh is true hero.,9 "Inception, another film surrounded by huge hype but doesn't fulfils my expectation. The film is undoubtedly very good but just not that good. The main question that many asks before watching Inception is, ""Is this film intelligent"". The answer is simply yes but also no. The story is original but you don't need a I.Q above average to fully understand this film. There just a lot of information thrown into the film that if one loses concentration he may easily find himself lost. But if you keep up with everything then the film is rewarding and simple. The acting is what you expect when you read the casting list. Dicaprio does a fine performance and is defiantly maturing. But there one main problem, the characters are hard to like. You don't hate them or love them but instead just listen to them talking about lots of things for two and half hours and eventually you can't help but wish the film will end. The shootouts were dull with very little creativity put in them. In fact the whole last act dragged far way to long. For me Inception is above average thriller. I can't see myself pulling the DVD off my shelve and encouraging people to watch it in years to come. There a lot of information being thrown at you and it extremely easy to lost your footing. Inception as a novel would of been an best seller but as a film, it rather messy.",6 "Season 1 follows the game (Pt. 1) so closely that it will spoil the game considerably. I assume the same is true of Season 2/Part 2. The game (pt. 1) is highly over-hyped (IMDB 9.7/Metacritic 9.2). The TV series is good, not great. I rate the game Pt. 1 a *7*. Season 1 adds 2 episodes that do not appear fully in the game, the weakest of the epidodes ('Long, Long Time' and 'Kin;' acting is great but the stories are weak). The entirety of the series S1 and game Pt 1 are overall depressing from beginning to end with only just one scene of comparative lightness throughout. Watch the series? Yes, but wait if you plan on playing the games. Play the games? Yes, but don't expect 9.7 quality.",7 No need to say anything. Go and watch for yourself. The Coen Brothers did it a fantastic job. After this go and see the Netflix series of Fargo.,9 "I was really looking forward to this movie but was a tad disappointed when I finally got to see it. I think comedy drama is a difficult genre anyway and this movie uneasily traversed the two. I think it should have been a straight out satirical comedy. The pathos when it came, just didn't sit well with the surreal lunacy of the plot. The child actors are wonderful and all of them give honest and believable performances which is an accolade given the script and what they were expected to do. The adult actors not so much. Scarlett Johansson was particularly annoying as Jojo's resistance agent mother. She didn't feel real as a character. Neither did most of the adults in this movie. I know it's a satire but some of the performances were just too cartoon like to evoke any real emotion. I did find Rebel Wilson's performance amusing but that was about it. All in all, a strange concoction which was neither witty or satirical enough to really lampoon the Third Reich and neither dramatic or heartfelt enough to portray a Germany coming to the end of its quest for World domination. I so much wanted to like this but I found it underwhelming and if I want to watch Nazis being made fun of, I prefer ""Allo Allo"" (British sitcom set in occupied France)!",7 Booooooòoooooorrrriiiiiiiiiinnnnngg sooooooo boooooooorrriiinnggggggg,4 "Ugh! Marvel... What have you done?! I think this show has a great concept, as I am a fan of nostalgia and old shows as well, but the humor is nonexistent. I haven't laughed once, but cringed multiple times. The scenes where they hint at something deeper going on, are by far the best. Unfortunately, they are few and far between. Maybe everything will be worth it in the end, but after three episodes, I am doubtful. I hope the other Marvel shows fare better...",7 "Manish is outstanding with his direction, dialogues intelligent enough to get in your head, and performance defines SRK once again. If there is another SRK in acting then its only Gaurav. Watch from a seat of a Fan , or not, you will never have been more satisfied watching a complete novelty in an Indian movie. The innocence of Gaurav in first half and the turn around makes the plot more intense and compelling. More things to take from the movie, will be chase sequence, fight sequence,SRK running in Kings landing ,and a better movie every second. I reckon,just don't think , don't hear go for it. Its a very different movie, with lots of heart. Sure to make you a FAN, and if you still don't then, TU NAE SAMJHEGA.",9 "No spoilers here. I thought this was so much better than Batman vs Superman. The storyline was clean-cut, and it was weaved well to introduce the new superhero characters that were not part of the Avengers. Captain America and Iron Man did a great job as being on opposite teams and also in recruiting more members into the Avenger universe. The fight scenes were well executed and I like how the stuns work between all the superhero interaction. Now, like any other Marvel movie, there's always a scene after the screen credits roll, so watch for that as always.",10 Best movie absolute worth watching. This movie is Must watch,10 "The movie as shallow as the name of the song, the scenario is old and you tell th end by the middle of the movie",2 "How did a film that went so right go so wrong? The Prestige, memento and Inception, need I say more, a film CV that any director in the film industry what kill to have. All three being the creative offspring of a director, that likes to blend big budget films, with complex narrative and intriguing plot twists. Not like another certain director cough, cough Michael bay... Following on the duck tails of Batman Begins and then The Dark Knight, we have The Dark Night Raises, with Christian Bale again playing the capped crusader. The last in what should have been Hollywood's greatest film trilogy and the perfect way for Christopher Nolan to kiss bon voyage to the comic book world, in a memorable fashion. Instead we the viewer, where meet with the unenviable task of watching a great film dynasty, crumble in front of our eyes. Nolan had the simple task of building on what he did so well in the first two instalments, but instead he tried to be to overly ambitions. In other words the guy was one on one with the keeper in the world cup final, but he got to clever and tried, one too many tricks and ended up shooting the ball wide. The dark knight rises tells the story of a fallen hero, billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne and his alter ego batman. Who has to rise up to the occasion and stop the powerful bane or in banes words ""mumble muummble batman Ummm mumble"" as he plots to destroy Gotham city. Not only this he, faces the aftershocks of events that proceeded from the dark knight rises, as he lost his love interest, and other the physical challenges in the form of escaping a massive hole in the ground. There was me waiting to watch a slick, sumptuous, action packed extravaganza, instead I was meet with a preachy lecture on social commentary and the ideology behind a mask man in tight, unflattering spandex, gyrating in front of me. Coupled with the minor, insignificant detail of not being able to understand what one of the major characters in the entire film - bane played by Britain's own Tom hardy was able to say. The dark knight rises was an excruciating watch that I wouldn't recommend, even to my worst enemies.",6 "The pacing is terrible. They decided the episode length and the reveal at the last 2 seconds, and just went on to filling up the rest of the time with mostly meaningless stuff. First episode, and you are already out of ideas? I'm not an expert on acting, but it wasn't annoying ...",2 "Not sure why so many people are giving this a 9 or 10 and claiming it to be one of the best sci-fi movies ever. Maybe part of it is that I just don't rate Ethan Hawke highly. I have read a bit of classic science fiction writing but had not come across the short story this was based on, however it was fairly obvious what was going to happen from early on in the movie and what the eventual plot twists were going to be. My wife is of the opinion that the end goal wasn't the point but the journey, however even watching the movie with this mindset still provded me with a general feeling of ""it could have been done a lot better"". There is a Japanese movie ""After School"" that managed to subvert the viewer's expectations extremely well based on what we extrapolate from the scenes and what we accept as general cinematography, and these tricks could have been put to good use here. Alas, we end up with the film that we have here. The highlight for me, however, is the use of filming locations around Melbourne notably the RMIT ""Circular"" building (corner of Swanston and. Victoria streets) being the home of the Space Corp, and the Melbourne University Old Law Quadrangle, when Jane leaves the etiquette lesson. I suspect the park where she gets left is something like the Treasury or Fitzroy gardens but not too sure there.",5 "I liked it. People need to chill the F out. Sure it's like Groundhog Day, sure it is a bit pretentious at times, but I thought it had heart. The Internet is becoming a big pile of crap, I swear. Oh and Lyonne's great",8 "There was something about the plot that didn't ring true and I can't put my finger on it. The film is well acted, particularly by Issac. It is well directed. The sets are just right. The script though seems formulaic in places and the actors expected to speak stilted dialogue. For most of the film the pace is just too slow. I am not sure why it was given so many plaudits as it becomes a film that is only just a bit above average, hence my score. I would have given 6.5 if it was possible.",6 "This show really surprised me. As of never hearing about this ""Benedict Cumberbatch"" until the latest Star Trek movie, I was skeptical about him as Sherlock Holmes. But all I can say is WOW. This guy is freaking brilliant. I've never seen a such amazingly complex Sherlock Holmes on screen. As a fan of the classic stories, I really am satisfied that this show portrays Sherlock with all his wit and genius with a modern and very pleasing twist. Sherlock and Watson are quite likable, and the crimes they solve are so unique and wonderful that this show stands out more than all the other murder mysteries. The first season is brilliant, but the second literally blew me away, (particularly the premiere). So I strongly recommend you check this one out, it clearly lets you in to the genius mind of one of the most complex and plain awesome minds of literature.",9 One of those movies you get to not like the more you watch it,7 Good show but very inconsistent. Some characters will be powerful in some episodes and then weak in some others. Also the characters strengths are completely different from that of the movies.,4 "Let me say right off the bat that this movie is absolutely not worth a 7 or higher, I'd say it's a 6.5. Let's go straight to the details. The movie has a good picture and staging, but what happens on the screen doesn't make for a satisfactory viewing experience. Has an okay detective, but not a good one compared to the first movie. The movie has a couple of funny moments, but nothing special, like with one groovy person who at least tries to dilute the movie in some way, or a drop related moment that one relates to empathically. The movie has a very silly plot that absolutely ruins everything. You could say that is the intent, as the film is meant to be a comedy, but there is not much comedy and it is not funny. It's like trying to dump all the bad moments in the plot on the comedy. I would say that the movie could have been made shorter, but it didn't feel drawn out. More than once I noticed various not very noticeable cinematic bloopers and flaws. You can watch the movie by picture and more or less detective, but there was not enough money for the plot. Would I recommend this movie? I think not, better to watch something else.",6 Not funny at all. It's an effort to watch. Got me confused about what the show is really all about.,1 "***Very minor spoilers*** The beginning scene of episode one completely drew me in. I thought, cool this is going to be a fun series where we're treated to Wednesday's hijinx as she torments the students at a regular high school. But, that didn't happen. Instead she's shipped off to a school where she can try to ""fit in"" with other outcasts (vampires, werewolves, etc.). I was so disappointed, but I continued to watch... and I'm glad I did. What unraveled was a well written supernatural thriller/murder mystery. The acting, the writing, the plot, the cinematography, everything was top notch. The writers' attention to detail was very welcome, and their subtle (and sometimes overt) references to Addams Family lore was spot on. On top of that, Jenna Ortega's portrayal of Wednesday was just perfect. Of course, there were some small quibbles. Minor plot holes, questionable dialog here and there, and some forgettable teen angst that detracted from the viewing experience. But overall, this was very enjoyable and I would heartily recommend it.",8 "This film is amazing. I always say that the mark of a good bit of a film is when you're so engrossed you forget to eat your snacks. There were at least two 20 min stretches where that happened. This film is expertly filmed, the fighting and effects are amazing and the characters all have sensible motivations...the minor characters like Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch and Vision are not just split randomly, you can see why each one goes for the side they do. The Bucky storyline is amazing too...won't spoil this one. The villain is also good....again no spoilers. There is also humour, but it doesn't overwhelm the intensity of the conflict...Falcon, AntMan and Spiderman literally had me cracking up in the middle of big battles when it was intense...but it didn't distract too much. One thing is that if you haven't seen at least both Avengers films, Captain America WS and Antman you will be hella lost... One problem is that it is def",9 Being a fan of the games this season brought a smile to my face couldn't stop watching. NEED SEASON 2 NOW!,8 "Greetings from Lithuania. ""Captain America: Civil War"" (2016) is the best movie in this franchise since the first ""Iron Man"" and with the exception of exceptional ""Guardians of the Galaxy"". Finally there was a story that was in a first place, and then the action, which was simply - amazing. Fight scenes and special effects were amazing to say the least. Stunts were superb as well. Craftmenship is as good as these movies gets - 250 mill. dollars surely were spent wisely. Finally there were a consequences of the action which i looked forward since the first Avangers - what about thousand if not million who died during these movies - so great that it was finally questioned here (maybe a bit to late but it's better then never). Overall, ""Captain America: Civil War"" is just a superb entertainment which kept me glued to the screen during the whole 2 h 5 min. And you better find the biggest screen possible if you missed it during theatrical run, cause this is a blast.",10 "I saw it on VCD ( 2 discs) I bought in Chinatown on Chinese New Year day. It is a very enjoyable movie. The story is simple and boy does he know how to tell a good old story. A good nobody turned bad and finally redeemed himself at the end - a very common theme that's almost always in Chow's movies. Some super duper wuxia heroes retired in some remote settings tried to live a normal life only being forced to fight one more final battle - a very common theme in wuxia novels. The movie makes some very good references to old Cantonese wuxia movies as well as works by Jing Yong, the Godfather of wuxia novels. All the Gong Fu or Kung Fu fight scenes are outrageous, and they are outrageously funny and good. I am glad I find them enjoyable. In my mind, Gong Fu Hustle and Crouching Tiger Hidden Tiger are probably the only 2 movies that do justices to the wuxia genre.",9 Id give it a zero if I could. The movie was not believable for one second. Very disappointing. The main character would not survive one day lost in the wilderness. At one point he goes to sleep on a glacier in the middle of a storm and wakes up fine the next morning just to walk home. He didnt even know his village was built next to a glacier? Like how dumb can he be? He walks around with a broken leg carrying a 100 pound wolf. so stupid! The relationship with the wolf was completely unbelievable. I felt like I was watching a dog do fancy tricks for the camera while some hipster clean shaven boy was hanging out on a fake set and didnt know how to act. Also 5 bison were killed for props on the set. Dont give money to this franchise just for that.,1 "You are about to see a movie with great atmosphere and good photography but it lacks on all other aspects. In my opinion the script was a great idea, but on the other hand it has severe flaws, i could give you an example but i don't want to spoil anything. The movie is really slow and i could understand it if it was for an artistic way in some scenes, but it seems that whatever happens the director follows the same tempo, maybe because of the complex scenario and that lead to less suspense for the viewer.",6 "It is an okay film. On the plus side, the music is quite nice. I can't however really understand why it has such a high score. The story of a kidnapping gone awry is quite simple. What is quite special is how unintelligently the people in this film talk and act. Unlike most films, this one does not have really smart or powerful characters. Much of the conversations, just as in real life, is basically nonsense. So in this sense the film is realistic. The problem with this realism is however that the film can get quite boring. Time is spent on events that have nothing to do with the main story. For example, the policewoman met one of her schoolmates who turned out to have some serious psychological issues. But that guy or their meeting has nothing to do with anyone else in the film. So why that scene instead of let's say, a rabbit is sleeping very tight in his burrow? This film reminds me of No Country for Old Men. If you like that genre, you'll probably enjoy this film.",5 "Popped on an episode and ended up watching all of it in the span of a couple of hours. Each episode is only about 20 minutes, and with only 8 episodes in the first season, I was done in less than 3 hours. The characters are well thought out and acted. The cinematography is fun and the whole movie feels like it could have be a modern Natural Born Killers.",9 I need more. Lol. This programme is fantastic. I dont actually have anything negative to say.,10 "I feel like I need to preface this one. High School movies about people going to a party do absolutely nothing for me. At all. It's not something I've ever cared about personally and movies about it never click either. With that, I watched Superbad for the first time with the expectations of a solid film that is beloved but that I probably wouldn't care much for and that's essentially what I got. I didn't find it particularly funny. I didn't connect with any of the characters and overall just found myself terribly bored watching this. However, I can acknowledge that this is a pop culture icon of a movie and for something to reach that level it must be doing something right. It just didn't work for me. Maybe I was in the wrong mood to watch it or maybe I went into it with too many preconceived notions or maybe it's just not going to work for me. In the end, I didn't like this movie. I think it's overhyped nonsense that relies on crass humor and not any sort of originality. A group of dorks want to go to a party so they can try to be cool and get laid? Yeah, never seen that before. There's no new ground tread here it's just another take on a played out trope. But again, I'm the extreme minority here and I'm going to bump up my grade a bit just for the cultural relevance it's had and I even think it's something people should seek out and watch for that exact same reason because odds are you will like it more than I did.",5 "Captain America: Civil War, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, is a thrilling action/adventure film that pits members of the Avengers against each other in a conflict over government oversight and personal loyalty. The film benefits from a strong ensemble cast, with standout performances from Chris Evans as Captain America and Robert Downey Jr. As Iron Man, as well as newcomers Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther and Tom Holland as Spider-Man. The dynamic between the characters is compelling, and the film effectively balances character development with high-stakes action sequences. The cinematography and special effects are impressive, with thrilling set pieces and fight scenes that showcase the characters' unique abilities. The film's themes of personal responsibility and the consequences of unchecked power are thoughtfully explored, adding depth to the film's fast-paced action. However, the film's complex plot and large cast can at times feel overwhelming, and some characters don't receive as much screen time or development as others. The film's humor and lighter moments can also feel out of place at times, detracting from the film's more serious themes. Overall, Captain America: Civil War is a thrilling and well-executed superhero film that delivers on action, character development, and thought-provoking themes. While it may not be perfect, it's a standout entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a must-see for fans of the genre.",9 "As a fan of QT's work until the last 20 mins I waited patiently something 'tarrantinoish' to happen, especially after the big fuss at film festivals, asking the viewers not to spoil the movie, and not making references of the ending..the 'twist' was predictable, and already used in QT films. I really wanted this movie to be great, but it is not. DiCaprio is a superb actor, Pitt does his part too, but its not enough for a 3 hour long movie. I'm disappointed..",5 "This would have been a B movie if Hemsworth wasn't in it. Alot of action scenes, actually way too many, and in my opinion a horrible ending. The story line is the generic fight your way out of a bad situation while multiple bad guys are after you scenario, which you see is hundreds of B movies each year. Not a fan.",4 "Wow!!! Barbie really brought my attention in the cinemas! It made me laugh and cry at the same time. I was literally enjoying the best moments in the film, and it really is a beautiful movie, and Barbie was made for kids, but there are also not meant for kids. Margot Robbie is brilliant for this role as Barbie, and she's the right girl for the job to portray the character, and her performance was so beautiful, and Ryan Gosling steals the show! Barbie promises one thing, and that one thing that it promises to be, is a personification, of a Barbie doll that little girls have been playing with sense she was made 80 years ago. The movie also learns about female experience, it's also about feminism, and men needs to understand how woman feel, and truly needs to know how they feel. And I gotta say, this movie learns so well, and tells a very good story, and how well it performs in the movie. Greta Gerwig did a fabulous job directing, and making this movie, and she earns the spotlight in filmmaking history, along with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling and the rest of the Cast and Crew! If you like Barbie, or if you don't like Barbie, then this is the movie for you to watch in the cinemas! 10/10.",10 "If you want a short, straight to it review...here you go, as reading four paragraphs of pretend critics is not for me. Not the Hannibal you expect, want or need. Way too much focus on annoying characters, who make this painful to watch every second. Boring to be honest.",2 "Daredevil: Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer by day and vigilante by night, tries to protect Hell's Kitchen with his enhanced abilities as Daredevil trying to live a (somewhat) normal life as a lawyer working within the bounds of the law. I binge watched all the three seasons of Daredevil and completed the entire show and enjoyed it. I'm so disappointed that it was cancelled. The one thing I did not like is Karen, she is a secretary who gets people killed, breaks into homes, and winds her way into Matts and Foggy life makes you thinks shes up to something. Sorry think she has to go so more of series can be about Daredevil.",9 "Though it is a good start in bollywood, with a different plot but I feet it has used very abusive and bold scenes which was not required and that is just to compete with international series like GOT.",7 This series has a lot of well animated action sequences that grip you. The settings and characters feel very detailed and you never know how things will turn out. My only complaint is that it takes a while for the story to pick up.,8 "You know, once the effects have been copied a hundred times over, a movie has to have something to it to stand up on its own. Matrix has not much: a weak plot, spotty acting, and canned dialog. The basic premise of the movie is compelling, but now that the special effects have slipped from groundbreaking to ordinary, this thing doesn't offer much.",5 "The tropes about philosophy and computer science are thoroughly pounded here. I suppose each generation asks the same question over and over, much like they did two thousand years ago and will probably do in 2000 years' time. The twenty somethings, early 30s crowd will enjoy this the most, I guess, as it panders to them directly. It's the basic plot holes, cheesy computing macguffin, along with philosophical dialogues that wish to be deep, edgy and meaningful but aren't, it didn't fill me with awe and surprise. The story is full of borrowed ideas from several sci-fi greats from the golden age, with a modern face lift, poorly executed. Those that are new to sci-fi and philosophy will probably enjoy this, but those that have already been on this intellectual merry-go-round will be bored and unimpressed. There are some interesting scenes, but they are few and far between. This show could have achieved its goal as a short movie.",3 "My husband and I went into this series not knowing what to expect. We almost gave up, but for some reason, I was hooked. It took 5 episodes before we realized the scenes were taking place at different times. It did end quite nicely, but I want more! Henry Cavill was amazing, and I can't wait to see season 2.",8 "The action scenes were fantastic. The acting was good as always in the MCU, Don Cheadle and RDJ are amazing of course. Black Widow's introduction is great, posing as someone showing her hidden background. This film isn't bad, and definitely not the worst of the MCU, it's just not as good as some others. The problem with this film and some others, is that the villains are terrible, some people don't even remember them, of course I do because I just love marvel but still, the villain's story really isn't that good, and with Whiplash being a character introduced through the movie, not even die hard marvel fans knew about him at first, they knew about his father, but not him. Overall the film isn't bad, just one of the worst of a great franchise.",7 "I might be biased on this one. Something about it just innately appeals to me. I haven't seen Shaolin Soccer, oddly, but this movie's sendup of 70s kung fu is just the right blend of absurd and yet almost really cool. It has gags you'd expect to see in Airplane or Hot Shots, and then unique and stupid characters that absolutely would've been cool for me as a child watching cheesy old kung fu movies. There are a few important aspects of the movie that just didn't quite connect with me, and it was usually related to a bit too much goofiness. The movie is at its best in the first two acts when the threats seem more realistic and the likeable characters are the goofy ones. The third act changes that formula and I don't think it quite works as well as a result. Regardless, I bet I've watched this movie 8 or 9 times. Something about it just... makes me feel happy.",8 "Just as some (many?) lawyers are ambulance chasers (i.e. every misfortune is an opportunity for money) so Netflix is doing the same w/the current pop media craze of teen sucides & school shootings. Rather than make these, and similar, topics thoughtful insights we get: a.) Prolonged trivialized talking heads just to create episodes (more means more money); 13 hours. b.) Cookie cutter stereotypes, e.g. school administrators, parents, teens (especially athletes). And, of course, racial mixed roles that seem more contrived than reality. c.) Cookie cutter cleanliness. If you watch closely you will see no dirt; no real world raggedness; no unshaven faces. Each person looks as if they came out of a salon an hour before filming. Clothing for all is spotless new or new like. d.) Dialogue, and sex (basically light kissing) are mostly middle school, general rating, public acceptable. e.) Emotion? Well I would say 75% of all the tears came from just one actress who was really good at it. Must have passed auditions specifically for that role. Dead Hannah shows up frequently to lecture us on why suicide is a bad idea. f.) Cheap production filming sets, mostly hallways & lockers & bedrooms w/lots of posters. g.) Set up for next season w/of course school shooting. It's like topic ""du jour"". h.) Selena Gomez as producer. Crisis message at the end of each episode. Neutral: Interesting that our clergy at the end says, ""... that his God will not send an immortal soul to hell for suicide"". A cut at those religions that script that punishment.",4 "I think around episode 6 or 8 there are shots where its a upclose shot of a characters body movement. Then the next shot the character hasn't moved at all. The continuity errors that occure frequently got me bored and took me out for the story. There are serval scenes that carry on way too long before the falling action of the season. There was a lot to easily predict if you've ever seen a super hero show. Full of cliches that are very played out at this point. Perhaps if the script was taken on by a new write; a lot of things could be fixed. I think there is a lot here to digest though. The world they created is original. The subplots were unfortunately very predictable. But now that a lot of the cliches are played out, the second season could be promising. Ellen Page, also never really had a shot to shine. The asked for a minimalist character and they got too minimalist with the script. Like by the time her character fleshed out it left you like ""Jesus Christ, calm down"" I think if Klaus had less lines and they interactions between characters wasn't so awkward. Ellen Page actually had lines with meanin, and the subplots took up less time. I'd be more invested. I'm sorry chief, but this ain't it.",6 "Lol so many salty GOT idolizers, I just had to say something: we're 4 episodes in, and y'all are acting like we've seen the whole show and can accurately compare. For those of you saying it's a soap opera, what do you think GOT and politics of monarchies in general are other than matchmaking and power struggle (with some zombies thrown in in the case of GOT of course)? 🤣 For those of you comparing actors, who in GOT was a good major actor beyond Dinklage?? Tywin with his cameos?? Waldau?? 🤣 Kit???!? 🤣 nod to Iwan Rheon as Ramsey Bolton. Excellent production. Story is slow-developing (just like GOT) as we continue to learn the characters and their place in the power struggle, so we'll have to see how it wraps up for a comprehensive evaluation of story and delivery quality. Plenty of action, and I like dragons a lot better than white-walkers. Yes, Paddy (the king) is not an imposing lead cast, but that seems to be the point they're trying to make! Rhys Ifans is his usual and decent creepy self as the Hand, Milly Allcock (young Rhaenyra) delivers a very impressive performance, while Matt Strong (Daemon) continues to do a fair job as a poor man's brooding rebel a-la James Dean (albeit without the emotional bravados that made Dean one of the greats). Settle down GOT fans...don't you wanna know what happens with all those swords from the throne room?!? 🤣",8 "With this cast and crew, this movie could have been done so much better. It felt like a 8 hour movie. Do yourself a favor and just watch the last 30 minutes.",3 This film is one of those which grabs you early and never lets you go until its wrung every emotion you have out of you. Normally i wouldn't describe any film in this fashion but this 200 Minutes deserves all the accolades it has ever had. One day not so long ago I watched Godfather Parts 1 & 2 without a break. Yes it may have been a lazy Sunday for me to watch all 375 minutes but it got me thinking about when these films were made. You could describe those minutes as a series of recollections from a sharp elderly person where the memories come out very clearly but not in chronological order. Therefore Part 2 could be a continuation of the original. That isn't taking anything away from either film but because they were made roughly two years apart its one way of looking at it. I think it is unlikely that these films could be made now because of all sorts of 'improvements' in technique due to technological advances. These two films were produced at the time that they should have been made. I am not interested in the politics which apparently surrounded the making of these films the end result is all to me and in this case the result is magnificent. This film is another masterpiece. Enjoy the experience.,10 Com certeza está entre os piores filmes da década.,1 "The first 30 seconds was cinematic genius to introduce this movie, the other 25 minutes I sat through was insanely boring. The dialog was ok, the acting fine, but it felt serious, cold, and emotionless. Nothing exciting was happening, and I wasn't enthralled enough with what was going on to care whatsoever. This is a subject I know a fair bit about, and something I am interested in, and yet recognizing references and historical tie ins could not save this movie for me. No way I was going to waste another 2hours+ on this insanely long and insanely boring movie. Sure I didn't see the whole thing, but it did a terrible job engaging me, and burned 15 dollars from my pocket.",2 "This time, I made an exception by havin an expectation bout this movie. Ofc, its coz because this is directed by the one of greatest directors in Hollywood, Steven Spielberg. Luckily, this movie beyond my expectation. This movie is about a famz struggle with the coming-of-age theme (adolescence life to adult life). They came from a discriminated socio background because they are Jewish in the US. BUT, they are finally able to manage all the ebbs and flows. RN, the struggle is a really great emotion to us that because of this pandemic impact never ends. Well, the struggle is perfectly delivered in this movie. This gives sentimental value to the audiences and easy to relate. Besides, this movie gives us a warm sensation about famz and year-end vibes (Christmas & New Year's Eve). Pretty odd coz Jewish didn't celebrate this but their neighbors did it in this movie. The story is so inspiring and revealed at a slow pace. It's inspiring coz the main char, young Sam is having an aspiring dream as a movie director inspired by his go-to cinema moments with his parents. It's inevitable truth if our life dream is really constructed since we were a kid. Another pros, a relatable story coz great for delivering bout high school bullying and teenage kinds of stuff that is also an inevitable truth of our life exp. Personally, this movie story is very relatable coz I always hv an aspiring dream since I was a kid and I live with a very noisy famz too. Perhaps, it is similar to this movie. However, this movie's pace is too slow. Sometimes get bored even though it is an amazing moment. It getting worse coz this movie is more than 2 hrs. The bottom line is a very inspiring movie! Perfectly fulfilled our year-end vibes and a Lil bit nostalgic for our teenage stuff. But, sometimes is boring, lol. Great movie to watch! This is a Steven Spielberg semi-auto-biography! 8/10.",8 "Strong Female protagonist, positive family drama with NASA-like tech combined with Alien tech. It's just fun and I'm looking forward to season two with more space action after all this season-long planet adventure.",9 First season was really great. After watching 1st season I was too keen to watch season 2. They took already much time to launch second season and it was not that good as expected. I think these 8 episodes were unnecessary to show this crappy ending. Kya kardiya bhai!,6 "But not as good as some say. It overlooks some important aspects of character development and is sometimes inconsistent with its style. The last episode is by far the best made and it really elevates the rating of the show from a 7 to an 8. The acting is quite good, especially from Anya Taylor-Joy and Marielle Heller. 11 Emmys? I don't know. 8.6 rating on imbd. Hm, you know what, maybe. Yeah, it does have some remarkable qualities. It's a shame it feels plasticky and producer-made (for those who know what I mean) from time to time. A little too often for my books. The devil is in the details. How should I put it? It sometimes feels like it was directed by the 1st AD, it has sections where it doesn't feel thoughtful enough, like the director just wanted to get them over with. A bit of a shame for the rest of it.",8 "It's all about kevin bacon performance! His performance reminds me of johnny depp in the movie pirates of the caribbean. Nana had a very sad story being a good person in the society but she couldn't raise her kids so well, when you think that you're doing the right thing but discover later that you was in the wrong path, so shame. I think parents should focus first on their small society in their houses before they take care of the others. And the cathy ryan represents the great rewarding mother how she ready to move mountains for her kids. And siobhan represents the tolerance value by forgiving nana! Amazing cast.",7 "Barely a mystery, barely even a movie, Glass Onion feels, like how the invention mentioned in the show came about, that it was written by two very drunk writers on a napkin. At best. The plot is minimal, the plot holes are larger than the island the movie is filmed on, the acting is atrocious (Kate Hudson still hasn't learned that acting doesn't involve simply scrunching up her face and going all cutesy on the camera), Daniel Craig's accent (which now he says was supposed to be bad) was, in fact, beyond bad; there isn't a moment of surprise or an element of suspense, and the ending was a let down. Other than that, sure, if you want to watch a few people model beach wear, then it might be worth it.",2 "I didn't notice any comments here bashing this film, so I think I'd better add one; in my opinion, this was one failed movie. The only three things that kept me watching it to ending were actor Russell Crowe, cinematographer Roger Deakins and composer James Horner. Actually, the film starts pretty good. The first half hour reminded me of quality British dramas (like Chariots of Fire), and had a few marvellous scenes. Just as I was starting to think this would be a good movie, it started to go drastically downhill. The filmmakers (Ron Howard, Akiva Goldsman) get drawn into what appears like two subplots - one about Nash's love affection and one about his paranoia of communist spies - and lose the conception of the film. There's been comments of the film as a tear jerker... Sorry? I didn't find anything emotional about this movie. Towards the ending, it just keeps getting more and more like a bad TV-movie. All characters are poorly written, there is not one single good dramatic scene; a *lot* of the screen time is stolen by imaginary characters (they actually feel more lively than the actual people in the movie). The acting is hopeless; the dreadful direction makes all characters except Nash seem like cameos and the screenplay really feels as it is written by the fellow who wrote Batman & Robin (dah). And the fact that the film isn't thruthful to its subject doesn't make it any better, either.",1 "While, like many of us I was eagerly waiting for the S02. I felt S01 was far much better than S02 in terms of building the story, linear that made it comfortable to connect the dots, characters and back stories that kept us engaged. S02 lies between nice and good, story unfolding with Sartaj making all efforts to decode the conspiracy and parallely Gaitonde continues to share his story. New characters are good too and help keep the story going but not as addictive as S01. Overall, if this show was new for me with S02, overall my rating for this show would have been 6 or 7 and not 8 as I gave earlier.",7 Okay this was plainly stupid. I think it was very interesting but the plot was as thin as paper. The main character was great and all but everyone else was kinda dumb.,5 "I can't remember the original film, but I think it was a children's movie. This series seems to be made for the youngsters as well. I like space stories so I went for it too. Having now seen 2 episodes, it is indeed a movie for youngsters. Will adults like it? It has some merit but it is very simplistic and must be treated as a fantasy. I give it a rating of 5, which is below what I normally give a watchable story. So if you are a child at heart you may enjoy it. Update: I have now seen all 10 episodes and although a cheesy story it was filled with adventure. Overall it now qualifies for a rating of 6.",6 This movie depicts the actual indian strata. Yes I ashamed to be born in such society. It's blatant lies that every individual gets opportunity in our independent state however it is complete false. On paper we are free from the clutches of slavery but our indian mindset still grab with that ideology of discrimination.,10 "It was very funny and witty and i really enjiyed it. I didn't finish the 2 seaon because it didn't interest me, I definetly recommend this if you wanna get into anime.",9 "It's a shame that the most visually stunning Potterverse movie was wasted on its worst story. Rowling stuffs far too many characters and subplots into this film. The weird part about that is by the end, the only thing you really need to take away from this film is the big reveal. This felt like a story that got stretched out in order to accommodate 5 movies, which unfortunately is what happened. There is a quite a bit to like in this film though. Newt is as endearing as he is in the first one, Harry Potter references are sprinkled throughout, the performances are all good, and the most impressive aspect by far is the visuals. The beasts look fantastic and the action scenes are colorful fun. I wish that Rowling has taken a little more time to develop a worthy story.",7 "Being mindful not to share much, know this though, 10/10. Two episodes in and my mind is blown. Intense and moody, shot beautifully, sound design and music just mind blowing. For those who enjoyed the OA and of course Ex Machina, this is for you. Again, this is not going to be spoon-fed to you. Don't expect resolution, watch and rewatch (if necessary) every scene and interaction, they all have meaning.",2 "I am really enjoying this series. Anything with Nicole Kidman is going to be great because she's incredible at her craft. I wish people would resist the urge to be awful about her but these are the times we live in, any excuse to bring someone down it seems. She is a fantastic actor and looks great no matter what age. If you can get past your personal prejudices you'll enjoy this fresh new story. The storyline is compelling with plenty of tension and interesting characters and supporting cast. These characters are the true outsiders-and ones we can connect with-but are overlooked because they can't get the spotlight when their lives are presented through a peephole.",9 Even the end credits couldn't save this film. I feel sorry that Sony pictures wasted the great talent they had participating in this film. 10/10 says don't waste the precious time that you'll never get back.,2 "Superbad is the archetypal teen movie: ultra cliché premise, stereotyped characters, and a scenario that fits on a subway ticket. It is pretty funny overall, though the gags and jokes are quite uneven qualitatively speaking, some being well thought-out and played out, some just not. The movie is also undeniably lengthy, some scenes or story lines are just too long, like the cop road trip with McLovin for example. A 10-15 minute cut could have really improved the dynamism. As for the actors, Jonah Hill obviously stood out even if Mintz-Plasse isn't far behind. Cera did what he usually does, no surprises whatsoever.",6 "Agh I'm so exasperated! I sat all the way through that; expecting some kind of medal via a satisfactory ending, that would make up for the tedium of 10 hours. Alas, no. It's dark, slow, pointless, and nonsensical in the face of logic. I'm so mad at myself for sticking with it.",5 The action and intense behavior was amazing Respect of the hustle and power was well demonstrated in this film,10 "This show has bad pace and is filled with plotholes, i had to skip-watch through season 2...",6 "The whole getting back to boxing part looked so rushed and incomplete as if director got bored about the 'would be' best part of the movie..the acting was good but it looked so repeated type of thing and even that was not done right. Karate kid movies were better than this movie on drama aspect alone. The story did not flow at correct speed after the 'incident' and everything felt awkward and rushed. I wished there was something new, since the use of old concept brought a certain standard to it. The training scenes were much better in Never Back down which should have been the best part of such type of story. Really bad..5 marks from me and that to for acting alone that to of Jake alone. Such bad use of Rachel.",5 "Who in their right mind enjoys a movie like this? Who in their right mind feels good about themselves for having watched it?--but seriously to answer those two questions, ""Nobody"" and ""You don't have a conscience!"". Honestly, does the government cook up movies like this for purposes of societal/behavioral mind-control? There were kid actors in this movie reacting to the so-called ""adult"" content (a little girl is shown perverted penis drawings). I say ""adult"" which is to say ""immature"" or rather 'not adult' but only ""adult"" in the sense of how much obscenity the so-called adult brain is supposed to be able to tolerate? Nevermind, just don't swim in the sewers. Don't swim there on a rainy day either, you want to swim? Try an open place with sunshine, perhaps the ocean, a lake, or a swimming pool--you know some place appropriate so that you might actually enjoy yourself. I had to laugh at one of the other 'hated it' reviews here by a reviewer who seemed as if he had taste only to spoil all his points by comparing it to something in The Family Guy which he viewed favorably as if that show takes the high road. LOL",1 "I've played Witcher 3 a few times through and I really liked the way they translated the game (and short story from what I've heard) material onto the screen. Pretty much only complaints were the transitions to different timelines (which wasn't really that bad) and the actor choice for Triss. That was the only point that I said out loud ""come on man"". She did a good job portraying the role, but she is supposed to be a fair-skinned fiery redhead. Come on man. All good other than that!",9 "If you like comedies, watch this. If you like either Jason Bateman or Ryan Reynolds - watch this. I did not have great expectations towards this movie, and it surprised me. Much-much funnier in my opinion then some competing titles that hit the cinemas this year - or last year. The ending is cliché, but makes up for it. It is just a fresh breath or air among the lot of ""mellow"" and ""safe"" family comedies. (which are - in my opinion - are too mild and stupid to be funny) This film dares to step out of the bounds and speak to an audience which is between 20 and 50 years old. They will understand the film - because it's about their lives. (not some dumbed-down, Hollywood remake of a real life - at least this is how I felt when I saw it after Ted) Go and see it, if you want a good laugh - and don't expect any plot-twists :)",9 "All the money thrown at this but the writing was weak as hell. Predictably normal, shiny production with no substance. Could only watch this for 10 mins. Truman show rip off but it doesn't even have an ounce of its film making class. Just don't bother.",4 "Absolutely loved WandaVision. Absolutely hated Falcon & Winter Soldier. Loki, I'm happy to say, is as good as I was hoping it would be...if not better! Obviously, Hiddleston is fantastic in the lead role, but Owen Wilson arguably steals the show. The two have great chemistry, and the writing is a big part of that. Nicely shot, great soundtrack, interesting story...yeah, this is another big win for Marvel/Disney. The only slight nitpick I have is the character of Hunter B-15 - she's lacking any real character and just doesn't seem to fit the style of the show very well. But that's a minor quibble in an otherwise brilliant production. I hope Disney/Marvel give us more of these character-driven, original, and intelligent stories rather than the formulaic action snooze-fests like Falcon & Winter Soldier.",9 Got me glued to my seat the entire time i was watching it. Love the storyline and marvelous acting by the actors.,8 "I feel like I must be watching a different show. I'm watching a mediocre, Americanized, Marvel-ized Dr. Who rip-off, which heavily leverages elements from Into the Spider-verse. I don't know what other people are watching where they give it 9/10 but I wish I was watching that show instead...",5 "If you were to compare this anime to any other this would win hands down (If you disagree, that's just my opinion). Each saga was great (except maybe the buu saga). Goku and Vegeta were great characters. Vegeta's pride mixes well with Goku's happy go lucky attitude. If I were to pick a favorite character from the whole anime I have to say I would pick Perfect Cell.",9 "What made the first movie so great was the interesting visual effects that had never before been seen. The kaleidoscope mirror-verse truely Mesmerising all the viewers. This new one is trying to be a horror in the most cliche way possible. They just slapped a whole bunch of demonic stuff through out it to try make it ""freaky"". This had as much, if not more demonic content than some horrors I've seen, but none of the fear. What makes a good horror is the tension, the scenes that keep you on the edge of your seat or better watching through your fingers. This was not scary at all, so why so much demonic content? Give me jump frights not exorcisms. Over all it was an ok movie, but the attempts to try take it away from being a typical marvel yet not committing to just making it a scary horror left it just being a mild marvel and even more mild horror.",3 "Wow.. this is NOT a good Venom movie, a good comic book movie nor a good movie period. It however can be entertaining, mostly cause of how bad it is. Tom Hardy makes a decent Eddie Brock and probably does the best he can with a script that he has, but ultimately it's a mess of a movie with paper thin plot and backstory and bad guys who make Dr Evil seem as a serious villain! I shouldn't look for a plausible scientific plot in a comic book movie, but I am pretty sure the planet is not one generation away from being uninhabitable.. c'mon!!! Action is mostly a pretty bad CGI mess. The coolest thing about it is Venom's voice.. and his somewhat cool sense of humor, but that's it.",4 "nearly a milestone as the first part of the-godfather-trilogy. The lack of OUTSTANDING Marlon Brando is too huge to get compensed by the (extraordinary) appearance of Pacino, Garcia et al. Want to see a breathtaking movie which impresses by the directors courage of ""taking all the time the story needs"" but do not want to see Godfather#1 again? then choose this masterpiece and spend yourself app 3h of real artwork!",8 Jhund was one of the best movies I had seen recently in theaters. I am glad that my return to theatres was with this film. I took time to write this review because I did not know how to praise this film. I also think the movie won't be to everyone's liking. It's hard to believe that the kids were basically non actors much like the leads of Sairat in Sairat. Those two actors are also cast in this movie besides Mr. Bachchan but for me the scene stealer was the boy who played Don. The actor has scenes where he has to hold his own opposite not other than Mr. Bachchan. Actually a lot of the credit also goes to Mr. Bachchan himself to let all the kids in the film act to the best of their abilities. It's a bit long but again I didn't have any problems with it but some people would find parts of the movie stretched and slow. Overall the movie is not as magical as say Sairat but it is a better movie than most Hindi movies.,8 Tottaly an amazing masterpiece by Christopher Nolan.,6 The chemistry seemed very forced and not believable.. and every part of the movie was 100% predictable like I always knew what was coming next despite knowing nothing about the movie before hand. It felt more like a brief documentary of fictional singers. I do think Lady Gaga did a good job acting considering she isn't an actor.. Cooper did pretty well too but nothing special. The relationship never really developed and the characters were very shallow.. I felt almost nothing for them emotionally. The best thing about the movie was the audio recording there were some good performances.. but again didn't blow me away. The story was cliche and uninteresting. I don't know who it appeals to but I strongly feel that the movie has been drastically over-rated in terms of overall quality.,5 "Instead of being a martial arts series with memorable fights, God of Highschool turns out to be typical shounen trash with supernatural garbage, pro-wrestling style fights (heel dominates, babyface makes a comeback), hard-to-follow animation, and your main lead as a Goku stand-in (who is admittedly somewhat likeable). What a disappointment.",1 Such a draggy and boring show. I just want to enjoy good entertainment not endless speeches.,3 "Tries to be even more than a story of a police murder and kidnapping investigation, but also a character study of people in a small town. Problem is it doesn't do either very well. The people are more depressing/boring than interesting. No doubt how Hollywood sees small town folks...and probably why the guy Winslet connects with is an author/professor from somewhere else. And the murder and kidnapping is more contrivances not remotely smart or suspenseful.",6 Great cast but a mediocre script and mundane twist and turns make this movie a real drag. Fails to make you smile most of the times when the movie tries to be funny.,5 "Sub out Pacino for an actor in his prime then give it a re-edit to tighten things up and it's probably an 8. Pacino was at his worst. There were some scenes were they could not hide how decrepit he is. He seem to be in poor physical condition. At times he was struggling to keep his left eye open. He was shouting all of the time. Just a miserable performance. He's a bad Saturday Night Live skit come to life. DeNiro was better than Pacino and in good shape but they could not hide the fact that he's an old man so some of his scenes looked ridiculous. These type of roles have a high floor for DeNiro so he's always solid in them. Everyone else in film was good. Outside of Pacino solid performances all around but the film lacked polish as if it was rushed through the editing process.",4 "I don't know if the actors behave like this in real life, but every performance is contrived, pretentious, forced... including trying to break it with forced laughing, dancing, tricks... Messages in the film are pro-war and negative, such as desensitisation to extreme gore (an autopsy with the persons face in the same shot, performed by doctors having a ""loving"" yet fighty conversation - this is early in the film to deliberately make it hard to walk out on, and big names in the film also encourage you to love & sit through it). Characters only talk to each other as 'pretend fights' with no self preservation and preservation of relationships. Christian Bale is better at being a real person but you still can't care what happens to him. Mike Myers plays a 'yes man' and any spirit he has is squashed by the script, screen play, and bad acting of all involved.",2 "I didn't realise that Venom : Let there be carnage was such a British influenced film . Directed by Andy Serkis and starring Tom Hardy , Stephen Graham , Naomie Harris , Little Simz and Reece Shearsmith . It's great to see actors from this side of the pond but did it help to make a great film? Sadly not. Eddie Brock attempts to reignite his career by interviewing serial killer Cletus Kasady, who becomes the host of the symbiote Carnage and escapes prison after a failed execution. Firstly I have to thank the Marvel for one very good thing . The 97 minute runtime . If only they would make all their films this length I might enjoy them much more than I do. This isn't a great film . The story is unimaginative and the action and CGI is pretty dull which is really surprising considering it's directed by the master of CGI , Andy Serkis. Incidentally some of this film was made down the road from where I live in Bedfordshire, England . Without a doubt the best thing about this movie is the humour. The banter between Venom and his Host , Eddie Brock , is really funny . The latter being the straight man for most of the time. I'm not sure the world needs a third instalment of Venom . I certainly don't want one but for the hour and a half this film ran , I was mildly entertained.",6 "This is not GOT. There's nothing even comparable to GOT. In GOT you had interesting characters and a good plot. This is apparently directed towards an audience that likes court drama and royalty scheming against each other. There's no relatable characters, it's just some version of an English royalty family and their in-breeding and scheming when they obviously have too much time in their hands and nothing real to do. I'm sure the people would be much better off without a completely useless Targaryen family and their stupid drama. I mean, what's even the main plot line? The princess is going to be queen but doesn't want to be married? Come on.",1 Good film but not an oscar... or not should be an oscar!,5 "I am big lover of superhero movies and I really enjoy in them and it looks like I found myself in them . I like when I see Batman,Spiderman or maybe Iron Man . I was very surprised when last year I read article in newspapers that in 2010 is coming Iron Man 2 . This is one of the most expected movie in this year . I am surprised with more one fact . Why is movie coming a week earlier in Europe than in USA . I decided that I will watch this movie because I expected it so long . Then I saw trailer in cinema and I knew that it will be something spectacular . I was so excited and I didn't want to miss it . When I saw this movie I knew it that I can't be disappointed . Whole first impressions were great and I thought that I will again watch one masterpiece . This movie is something what I can't miss . There are maybe few things which made this movie a bit worse but I don't mind it . Jon Favreau directed this movie and he acted Happy Hogan . His directing is always full of imagination and great sense for entertainment . His funny appearance entertained me . I can still say that he didn't screw this serial . I can also say that his directing was completely different from first one because from one simple movie we got one big astonishment . I knew that i can't be disappointed with his directing . I can still say that his connecting of every part was on higher level and he got the best from whole cast . Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man was again excellent . Looks like he is enjoying in acting of this superhero . I can see that he isn't missing chance of his life because now he showed how he can be so good . Actually I like his performance from Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man . His sense for fun and great action made this movie great . I couldn't believe that from one I can say boring acting to great relaxed acting . He is again showing simplicity of one superhero . He was so realistic . Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko was great . No matter what I liked performance by Jeff Bridges but Rourke was definitely better . He made this movie great . His damn good performance deserved award ""The Best Villain in 2010"" . I can say that every his appearance was superb . If someone made this movie more amusing than first that was him . I think that he is definitely great choice by Jon Favreau . His convincing acting and something what is called sense for acting was great . I can see that he was on level . Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts was again in one difficult role and she acted her role the best that she could . I can see that she was on level maybe sometimes she had some failures but again something what we could see in first part . Her role was difficult but she found herself in it . Maybe she wasn't the best part of movie but I can't say that her performance is bad . She sometimes was in some her world but good performance . Don Cheadle as War Machine or Rhody was pretty convincing . His acting was in some cool style and I was fond of it . He surprised me so much because I didn't expect strong performance by him . There were so much parts when he was on level . I was surprised because he made big progress because of weak performance by Terrence Howard in first part . He was also great choice by Jon Favreau . I think that this movie is really better made . Scarlett Johansson as Natalie Rushman was pretty good . She had good performance no matter what her appearance was based on her beauty what is definitely truth . Maybe sometimes she had some downs but many times she had her ups . I was very surprised because she was in some hand entertaining . Her movements were good and every scene was delighted with some her sense for appearance . I think that she is so good actress . Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury wasn't so good but he had a style . He is definitely valuable actor and you can see how his sense for acting . I think that this movie was the best of superhero movies .",7 "This movie story is weak Acting beautifully entire cast Screenplay average Direction is average 1st half very boring and slow. 2nd half is a movie Songs very good including piyu bole, paheli zindagani. One time watch",7 "Only a mash up of older series nothing new,cit on cit,more from 80' ,I had stopped so boring if you are a nerd and you had see more series tv",1 "This is a very well done Cold War style thriller. I have read many of the reviews here, but I fall somewhere in the middle. This movie definitely is not for everyone. This is not one to take your children to because ""they see stuff anyways"". The violence in this film was brutal. I often hoped that the camera wasn't going to cut to a close up of what was going on, and fortunately, it didn't. The nudity, although used throughout, doesn't seem gratuitous. Nudity and sex acts here do have a purpose to the story, and don't seem to be an obvious excuse to put get actors naked. I can understand a spy needing to use their body to gain secrets, and in 2018 it shouldn't be shocking that it's a subplot in an R rated movie. I liked the fact that this didn't feel like a movie pushing feminist propaganda, and it didn't feel dated either. Dominica is a strong female character, and there are definitely some male ""pigs"", but not all men are showcased in that light. All this said, I am not really a fan of JLaw, but I felt her look and accent here was great for the part. My biggest complaint of the movie was that she always has the same expression, as in most roles. She did a good job reacting to what was happening around her though, and the movie was intriguing all the way through. Although the movie could have been done as a PG-13 with less swearing, implied sex/nudity and violence, this movie is well made. It's tense and feels like a movie from a different era.",8 "It's evident at a very early stage that Predestination is a film that you'll really need to pay attention to whilst watching it. It's a dialogue heavy film and one that I feel perhaps spends too much time setting up its story and not enough time telling its story. Interestingly this creates a film of two halves where the first half is a little on the slow side and the second half actually seems rushed and a little messy - this perhaps explains why I found it confusing as it threw a lot at me in the final act. I also felt that it was needlessly complicated and at times I got confused with all the time-travelling - it literally 'jumped' backwards and forwards far too much with very little in the way of explanation as to what was going on at certain points within the film. Despite the rather uneven approach adopted here, Predestination never feels like a complete waste of time; it's themes of self-discovery and struggling with one's identity do make it relatively interesting and did give me something to think about whilst watching the film. The other strand to the plot regarding preventing crimes before they happen does enough to keep the story moving, but ultimately isn't quite as interesting or original as the main theme on offer here - we've seen this sort of thing done before in Minority Report. Hawke is pretty good here even though, at times, it sounded like he was doing an impression of Rorschach from Watchmen. Snook is the one that really deserves acknowledgement taking on a more complex role of dual characters and giving each character a unique identity. I've watched this film twice now and whilst I got more from it upon a second viewing (and managed to also understand it more on the second viewing) I still feel that it throws too much at the audience and tries to do too much (clearly a less is more approach has not been adopted here). I couldn't help but feel that it was trying too hard to be clever as well. It probably does require a few viewings to be able to get your head round it, but I'm not sure if that will prove to be a particularly constructive use of time.",5 Ridiculous. Watch the honeymooners or bewitched for the real thing.,1 "This had a rating of 9 after just one episode. That was fair, the first two episodes are great. Then it bogs down. So boggy. So much nothing. Last episode spices things up nicely. The start is so good it made me watch the whole season, and the ending wasn't overly interesting so I'd advise not to start watching it.",5 "I went to this show with high expectations, since everyone was saying that it was one of the best. And I can tell you now, they weren't lying. I've seen a lot of shows, not only animated but also life-action like game of thrones or breaking bad. And still neither managed to tangle me as much as avatar : the last airbender. Everything about it was perfect. It had the perfect cast, like every single character was enjoyable in their own way and had some impact on the show. The first season was the weakest, but it was still an 8.5/10 in my opinion. The second was already a 10 and the third was an 11 and comes close to the best like game of thrones season 4 or the sopranos season 6. The show has impacted me so much, that even I was shocked. If you haven't seen it yet GO WATCH IT ASAP.",10 "Cinematografic on very high grounds. If there any references that come close it would be the movie 2010 and a scene out of Star Trek's First Contact , namely the scene with the Borg outside on the ship building an antenna.As good as this movie is towards the camera-work and visuals , as sad it is to see that the script is propably 10 pages. Yes there is some action packed scenes and there is some tension as well, but do not expect the quality of what was done in the 2 references above.It is daring to make a movie with only 2 characters , however it does only work here for 50 % because the action is limited to its contents ( there is not much that can happen there out in space is there ? ) Then there is the typical Hollywood mess : Sandra pepping herself up with the traditional music going with the scene , and then the last scene on the beach. Please spare us of such nonsense. Did I enjoy the movie ? yes , but I took twice a zip at my watch in order to find out how late it was , and that's a bad thing. 10 points for the man behind the camera , 2 points for script.",6 With no script a never ending car chase with annoying personalities and camera show off. Waste of time. Yes hollywood have money and technology and big ego actors Well done!,1 "Barbie offers a delightful and fun-filled experience, encompassing chuckles, joy, and, surprisingly, some deeper discussions surrounding its creation's intended impact on feminism versus the portrayal of opposing views on women in real life. It even delves into the influence of patriarchy, hyper-masculinity, and its effects on the mental and emotional struggles women face daily. Initially, I found myself a bit confused since it wasn't quite what I expected. The movie touched on dark themes like death, which left me wanting more answers, especially since it was mentioned often, but it didn't tie up that loose end. Despite that, the film doesn't target kids but rather adults who once played with Barbies. For the moms out there, it's definitely a movie worth watching. However, I'm conflicted because it felt like the movie couldn't quite decide what it wanted to accomplish. With so many themes and stories to tell, it somewhat detracts from the overall impact. Nevertheless, it remains an enjoyable experience that nostalgically brings back memories. I'd give Barbie The Movie a rating of 7.5/10. The hype, dressing up, and reliving childhood memories add to its appeal.",7 "Spider-Man 2 (2004, Dir. Sam Raimi) It's been two years since Peter Parker had his transformation into Spider-Man, and he is still trying to balance life perfectly. His love for Mary Jane is becoming much stronger, as he finds it hard to not let her down. His friendship with Harry Osborn is at risk, as the young Harry is frustrated with Spider-Man getting away with his fathers death. And if this wasn't enough for the superhero, a new enemy is in town. Dr. Otto Octavius is involved in a freak scientific accident, and emerges as the dangerous, 'Doc Ock'. The first 'Spider-Man' movie was amazing, and you would have to wonder how it could possibly be improved. Well, you just simply make a sequel. Good sequels which was better than the original are hard to come by, but 'Spider-Man 2' does the job perfectly. All the cast and crew return bringing a very familiar feeling to the original movie. Everyone is older and feel more mature. Alfred Molina is an actor who is not normally associated with comic book villains, but he performs an awesome version of Doc Ock, who is definitely more menacing than the previous Green Goblin. The special effects have improved this time, with some great action scenes between Spidey and Doc Ock. If you've never seen the 'Spider-Man' movies, what are you waiting for? ""Do you love me?"" - Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) ""...No."" - Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire)",9 "Iron Man 2, directed by Jon Favreau and starring Robert Downey Jr. As Tony Stark, is a movie that packs a punch with its action and humor, but ultimately falls short in delivering a truly memorable experience. The plot picks up where the first Iron Man left off, with Tony Stark now facing new challenges as a public figure and superhero. He must also deal with the personal repercussions of his own mortality, as well as the emergence of new villains who threaten his life and the world as a whole. While the storyline is intriguing, it is unfortunately overshadowed by the abundance of special effects and action sequences, leaving little room for character development or emotional depth. Robert Downey Jr. Once again delivers a stellar performance as Tony Stark, bringing his signature wit and charm to the role. However, the other characters in the movie fall short in comparison. Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff (aka Black Widow) is underutilized, and Mickey Rourke as the villain Ivan Vanko lacks the charisma and complexity of other Marvel villains. The direction and production design are well-done, as to be expected from a Marvel movie. The special effects are impressive, especially in the action scenes, but at times feel like they are taking center stage over the actual plot. The pace of the movie is fast and exciting, but also feels rushed at times. The dialog is filled with quips and one-liners, but lacks the depth and substance that could have made it truly memorable. Overall, Iron Man 2 is a fun and enjoyable movie that fans of the Marvel franchise will likely appreciate. However, it falls short in delivering a truly exceptional movie-going experience. While it has its moments of excitement and humor, it ultimately feels average and forgettable.",6 "Amazing show, can't wait for s4. Love the actors, very well casted.",7 """Talk to Me"" is a truly terrifying and remarkable debut from the RackaRacka twins. A twisted story told with amazing skill. The good in this movie by far is the practical effects. They are absolutely terrifying to look at and immensely detailed. It's very disturbing and quite disgusting. Along with that is amazing gore. Again it's very disturbing and isn't fun. The performances are also very good. Sophie Wilde in particular is an absolute powerhouse here along with all the other cast members. The writing too is very good. Some of the best writing I've seen in a horror film in years. That immensely helps with making nearly every character here either likable or interesting. The idea of grief in this film is not only perfectly written, but is written in such a way that truly brings everything in the story to full circle. I love the subtle idea that this film in a way is an allegory for substance abuse for young teens. It gives the audience something to think about admits the bloodshed. Along with that we get some great directing with some amazing cinematography. The scares aren't jump scares, they're tense shots that linger for far too long to leave the audience in absolute shock. And finally the ending is just...it's an absolutely amazing ending that really sticks the landing along with everything else this movie achieved so well. All in all, ""Talk to Me"" is one of the rare horror movies that truly disturbed me and really showcases a great directing talent with these two twins.",9 Absurd that they made everyone have a British accent. Ruined it for me.,3 "Completely devoid of any psycho political nonsense, classic faces being funny constantly, what a breath of fresh air! I'm halfway through the series now, and have enjoyed every episode. I'm a tiny bit sad this is missing the Third Amigo, I would have cried tears of joy, I'm not joking, to see all three in same film(tv show) side by side. Chevy Chase, and everyone else, please figure out how to get along with each other again. Don't get me wrong though, Selena Gomez is great as part of the trio, nothing against her, just my ageism showing through.",10 Cavill's Witcher 10/10 but Yennefer and Ciri really really ugly maybe they can be good actress but the not deserve role. The witcher madallion tragicomic. And finally 8 episode? 8 ? Are you kidding? I dont understand this season. Sorry but I will not wait 2 season this short tv series. Short short shooooooooort,7 "I was taken aback by how funny this was because it's just so achingly wholesome ... and that's all the review I think you'll need, I can only imagine you were avoiding it for that reason too. They're gay, she's an immigrant, the kids are noisy, but they all have one thing in common - their home planet, Utopia. Now, there's a minimum of 10 lines per review; and encourage pithy critique that does not - one tries to be as forthcoming as one can, without ruining anything about the product - but if IMDb insists: each episode ends with a monologue, à la 'melted cheese down your throat', though sometimes it's funny (either way, I could still do without it). There are times when the comedy is surprisingly slow to where you've figured out the joke before it's told, only what's told actually ends up being a less punchy version of what you saw coming. And, finally, blah blah blahs too blah blah blah. Nevertheless they did good with this, it somehow turned out better than we all thought it was going to be.",8 "This review is an about turn since I have changed my mind about this show. After watching the first two episodes, and then giving the show a poor review, I found myself watching the remaining episodes many months later with a friend. I am eating humble pie as you read this. The show is one of the best Stephen King cinematics out there.",7 "It is the excellent mixture between many elements ( storyline, scenario, visual effects, direction and music ) . Treating and showing consequences of the past suffering translated by two personalities in one person that found in the end the balance between good and bad and that is so real in our life.",8 "I didn't enjoy this movie. I thought the script was messy, poorly developed, and lost all its intensity after Amanda was considered dead. Ben Affleck chose the easy way, he resolved the whole plot by a series of muddled flashbacks instead of getting the audience involved in the process. I won't extend my thoughts on the flaws of the scenario, but clearly there are huge ones. As for Casey Affleck, he clearly is one of the worst actors I've seen, he is always mumbling and has the same dumb expression on his face all the time. The rest of the cast is average, but how can you blame them when their characters haven't been properly developed ? Where is the depth and the psychology that makes you care about the protagonists ? One last thing I found annoying is Ben Affleck's direction which is bland, really uninteresting nor captivating. And the editing was awful, with quite a few pointless shots and scenes.",2 "I do not know much about chess or how it's played and I never had any interest in it. However, after watching this I was blown away by it and it was awe-inspiring. The perfomance of Anya Taylor-Joy was most probably her best performance, in my opinion. She was just brilliant. I am quite pleased with the overall show. It has become one of my top favorites for the year 2022 and 2023. Very beautiful and outstanding story that has kept me wanting more. I would recommend anyone who likes a good story to give this one a watch, I am sure this will be a very popular title, just hope it's renewed for a second season.",8 "Just like Sanju another movie to whitewash a few people and defame a few others. The hero enters the scene with a joke on Arnab Goswami the journalist who's been targeted by the state agencies, drug & bollywood mafia.",1 "Objectively, there is little to praise about this series. The plots are all variations of the same tropes. Only Jack can save the country... Jack communicates directly with the President... Every baddie gets immunity or some deal.... The vaunted CTU is filled with leaks, nepotism, fraternization and policies ignored or overwritten as the plot requires. All safeties, locks and other such obstacles can be magically bypassed by some code the primary actors produce as needed. EVERYONE is a backstabbing, self serving bureaucrat, except those who are outright traitors. Jack either screams or whispers. And on and on ad infinitum.",2 "Being an avid horror fan, I always look forward to new horror movies! This one had me very intrigued with the high ratings and people commenting that they had to walk out of the theater. Wait what? Did I see the wrong movie? A lot of possession type movies where evil spirits are involved, can be creepy. But this movie didn't do it for me. Despite having ONE intense scene, this movie was far from scary. I seriously almost stopped watching it because the movie started super slow. I did continue,hoping it would be great knowing it scared so many people. The concept of this movie seems pretty cool but it did not deliver at all!",4 "Since I don't want to spoil the movie, I will just say the core concept of the story is interesting, to say the least. It had a very unique twist to the time travel movie genre/concept. Unfortunately, the movie was so ploddingly slow it was boring. The characters had such dismal and sad lives, it was painful to watch. When the unique twist started to unfold finally, you just didn't really care. The twist really pushed your brain to its logical limits, but that couldn't save the movie. Im usually against remakes, as they are never good. However, the concept/twist for this movie was so unique, that maybe down the line a much better version could be made.",5 "Going to the Barbie movie with my friends in our girly, pop-pink outfits felt like we were joining a big, pink culture party, and all the girls were getting together. That part was great. But, let's talk about the movie itself. Honestly, it wasn't that great. The Ken parts made me cringe a lot. There's this weird ""I'm just Ken"" song that left me thinking, ""wtf was that?"" It felt awkward and out of place. Even though the pink outfits and hanging out with friends made the whole Barbie movie experience cool, the movie itself didn't live up to the hype. It's like the pink party was way more fun than the movie plot. If you're into the whole Barbie vibe, it's worth it for the fun with friends, but don't expect the movie to blow your mind.",5 The best movie in the worldThe best movie in the worldThe best movie in the worldThe best movie in the worldThe best movie in the worldThe best movie in the worldThe best movie in the worldThe best movie in the worldThe best movie in the worldThe best movie in the world,10 "I wanted to watch a marvel series not a sitcom. The first episodes are just annoying and a waste of time. Yes it's clear that there is something behind all of this and people are amazed what it turns out to be , but you have to get thru all of this annoying and unfunny sitcom Stuff.",6 "As a massive fan of TLOU games, I was very excited for this, though the casting choices made me scratch my head based on appearances alone. However, most of the cast have proven themselves very capable thus far. Bella Ramsey and Nico Parker, who play Ellie and Sarah respectively, despite not looking anything like the original characters, absolutely knocked it out of the park and nailed the roles. Bella's performance makes me hopeful for the rest of the series. The main outlier and main concern of mine so far is, surprisingly, Pedro Pascal. Pedro's performance as Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones was fantastic, and he quickly became one of my favourite characters. However, his performance as Joel seems to be a little lacklustre, or perhaps miscast. Joel Miller is a very nuanced character; an extremely vulnerable and broken man who developed a stoic/hardened/detatched/bitter front after his tragic loss. I am not feeling that level of depth from Pedro's performance... so far he just seems a little reserved and aggressive. *That* opening scene in TLOU game made me extremely emotional to the point of tears in every playthrough. The TV version felt underwhelming by comparison, outside of Nico's incredible performance. I'm excited to watch the rest of this series, but I do hope Pedro leans more into the role of Joel as the show progresses. Also to the reviewers insulting gamers for their passion for video games, please try to develop a prefrontal cortex at some point in your lives.",8 "This my favorite, and the best Coen film of all time. Even though it's a fairly simplistic story, it has comedic elements of all sorts. Frances McDormand as a pregnant Minnesota cop investigates homicides that are connected to a family man hiring hit-man to kidnap his wife to collect the ransom money from his rich father-in-law. The story is told fairly straightforward, with extremely funny jabs at Minnesota culture, particularly on their accents. The funniest is the jabs at Steve Buschemi being described as nothing but funny looking, really goes to show how the Coens feel. William H. Macy as the husband of the kidnapped woman is a nervous mess in every scene he's in, going out of his way to cover up anything that goes wrong. Steve Buschemi is an absolute riot every time he's on screen, being a bumbling screw up in almost everything he does. This is the best Coen film because it is not only a comedy, but it's a comedy of different varieties. If you tried to explain why these scenes are funny, you couldn't because they're that clever. Very recommended!",9 "Either though Daniel Day-Lewis gave a great performance, this movie was another ""huh"" at the end. The plot sounds nice, but the movie does not tie any of the events together. Your wondering throughout the whole movie where is this going? Is this scene have any relevance to the previous or next scenes? Nothing was tied together. You would think something from the past would connect to the future? It was like random scenes. And the music! Gosh, it drove me nuts listening to it. Music is suppose to match the scene and give you anticipation about what is happening. You would have this intense, melo dramatic music tied with a scene where nothing is happening. Don't pay to see it. But do give Daniel Day-Lewis big kudos for his acting.",3 Feels like the reviews have been paid for! Very very slow and boring!,1 "I shall probably get blown out of the water for this, but I hated the film. I absolutely loved Batman Begins, and thought it was the best of all the Batman films. But not this one. Maybe it didn't help that our local cinema had the volume up very high, so the action scenes and gunfire became irritating; however, the whole thing grated on me. I really can't understand how it got a 12 rating, as the violence, while often implied rather than actually shown was far too much for a 12 yr old. At least a 15 rating was called for in my view. I agree with with one of the other reviewers that there was no plot other than the constant battle between the Joker and Batman. Granted, Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was superb, and by far the best part of the film. He made a truly scary psycho! But that couldn't make up for the rest of the film. Maybe I need to watch it again on DVD (at a reasonable volume) but I was very disappointed as I had been looking forward to seeing it. So there it is. I'm obviously out of step with most of the viewing public!",4 "A good thing the show does is gives us the story of man behind the Punisher, Frank Castle. We learn all about him, his friends foes and his family. But who we don't get to see is the Punisher we were used to in the comics. Heck, he barely or rarely even wears the iconic t shirt with the skull on it. All we get are the struggles of an ex-marine named Frank Castle. Not the grittiness and brutality of the Punisher.",6 This was literally A Quiet Place but with blindfolds instead of being quiet. Both movies suffer from the same problem. There's no reason to have kids in a world where you can't speak again or leave the house or take a blindfold off. The films don't ever make you invested because what's the point of them getting to the next safe house or making the next food run when there's no point in even living when the whole world is unlivable. Despite that it was super unoriginal and felt like a bunch of other movies lumped together. It's an okay film but has no real impact and feels like another film pumped out by Netflix with no purpose.,4 "This series was very strong out of the gate and kept me riveted for the first three episodes. We had some good acting, a tight story line, and a plot that moved along nicely, and didn't contain too many holes (though there were some). Then, wham, with episode four it starts its descent into what eventually becomes a steam piling of you-know-what by the time we get to the totally abysmal episode six. In the final three episodes we are treated to plot holes galore (seems almost like every other scene has one), inane dialog that makes no sense and goes nowhere, and incredibly stupid plot twists that have no basis in fact, logic, or just common sense. Finally, the fact that they decided to make the London police (or their anti-terrorist equivalent) look like the keystone kops just speaks to the lack of critical thinking employed by the writers. By the end, I felt like I had been abused.",4 "It's like a cross between a wanna-be mutant movie with cheesy telenovela dramatics and rated PG-13. There's totally a disconnect which makes sense since the lead singer from my chemical romance is the creator. Definitely something made directly for kids, I tried to like this show but it's trash.",1 "This movie could have been in the top but all I get from the movie that they want just to please goofys and not the fans of venom, if they focused about the development between tom and venom I think that will be be the best, and yeah venom supposed to be evil or near evil which wasn't what we saw here.",4 "1st season: Very good start, and show what capable to be unique action fantasy criminal thriller. I saw Fantasy war what i never saw any other fantasies. 2nd season: Teenager soap opera, slow empty story, with cheap short monster fights. The story happened on the last 2 episodes. Business accounting cursed this show too. The spend more energy on the next show, what we got at the and of that season. It was felt like a Teleshop marketing of the next carnival party. I hope there will be good psyhedelic techno music.",7 "Went in with no expectations. I have a clear understanding that there are certain shows that need the entire first episode as an introduction. Episode 2 felt the same but gave it another chance with Episode 3. By now, as a viewer, I should be entertained and counting down the days to Episode 4, but it's not happening for me. I can no longer waste my time on drivel. There are way too many one dimensional wooden characters and the storyline is meaningless. I watched 3 episodes and I feel nothing. I did not go in and compare this to GOT. There has been numerous series that capture your attention within the first 15 minutes. I have put in close to 3 hours - a painful, disappointment. I'd be more entertained watching a family of turtles race around Daytona.",1 "If we presumably equates ""violent"" to ""death"", we are destined to be mislead by J.C. Chandor's third feature, A MOST VIOLENT YEAR, as we follow our poker-faced protagonist Abel Morales (Isaac), who has experienced a tough year with his oil company business in NYC 1981, negotiate his way with unscrupulous business competitors, a stalwart district DA Lawrence (Oyelowo), we assume in any certain moment he would start a killing spree in the Godfather style. This never happens, since the dogma of Abel's action is that he will never do anything to jeopardise his business, which means he will never act like a gangster, he is not a felon (as he tells Lawrence in the coda), although Chandor manifestly imbues his crime-tale with a solemn layout and vintage colour pattern under the heavy influence of Francis Ford Coppola's gangster school, not to mention Isaac is obviously channelling Al Pacino's Michael Corleone but in a no-violence policy. Abel is an ambitious, principled man, and quoted by his wife Anna (Chastain), he has never let his ego go in the way of his business decisions, the 2-hour film patiently recounts the entire process of how he manage to collect enough money to buy a property which will profitably expand his trade, with many hurdles in between. The most ruinous one is the fact that his oil trucks have been continuously mugged by two unknown criminals, which massively hurts the morale among his truck drivers, and due to Abel's refusal of equipping them with arms for protection (for fear that the action will drag himself into lawsuits), one young driver Julian (Gabel), who has being attacked once, gets an unlicensed gun and with bad luck, the same thing happens again, and this time he shoots for self-defence, but flees the scene and hides away. Meanwhile, Abel's company is under investigation by Lawrence, and soon the bank will rescind their loan due to all the investigations inflicted on the company, so Abel only has several days to find 1.5 million dollars to finish his deal of the expansion. So one key question here is whether Abel sticks to perform is a completely legitimate enterprise or there is a discount of the term ""legitimate"", which means as long as it cannot be traced back to him and his company, he can condone it, as the economic crimes Anna commits during all the years. In the end, Abel chooses the latter, he starts as a hero audience is rooting for, but in the final confrontation with Julian, his moral backbone crumbles and his true colour unveils. Chandor leerily argues that a moral decadence is de rigueur for a big player like Abel, for whom a promising political career in the offing. Oscar Isaac shines through with astonishing gravitas to portray such a complex character, unassuming but transfixing to behold, one of the best among his peers for a less showier flair. Jessica Chastain, handles the dramatic face-off with her consistently strong presence to indicate she is not merely a trophy blonde, but the script doesn't leave her enough substantially show-stopping fodder to capitalise on. After all, the film is made by dab hands of craftsmanship, sometimes, it borders on tedium, but I have a bone to pick with the script, the subplot of Julian is quite baffling to comprehend (his side of story never being fully elucidated before his final wretchedness), his tragedy as an expendable pawn never achieves its pathos one might expect, and there are also some loose ends such as who is behind the assault of the poor sales guy (Rosenfield) just in the doorstep of his clients' house and who is the burglar left a gun in Abel's house in the night?",7 "Firstly don't take this film as politically accurate. This film explores how a political marriage between two persons coming from completely different belief systems, turned into a love story that shaped one of the greatest Empires of history. This film has a long runtime but it really breezes through. The film is made on an epic scale with jaw dropping cinematography & beautiful songs filled with powerful performances. The political scenes are kind of generic & poorly written. But the main attraction is the Performances of Hrithik & Aishwarya & their chemistry. Their Love Story is so well developed & presented that it will stay in your heart for a long time. Another Great Ashutosh Gowariker film.",8 "After watching such great movies as ""Crazy Stupid Love"" and ""The Help"", I recently became a huge fan of actress Emma Stone. As such, I decided to go back in a time a bit to see what other movies she had done. I watched ""Easy A"" and still was impressed, so I decided to take a gander at ""Superbad"", as I am up for a ""teen loser comedy"" every once in awhile. The verdict? A complete and utter waste of time. For a basic plot summary, ""Superbad"" sees two teenage losers played by Michael Cera & Jonah Hill trying to party it up together one last time before heading to different colleges after graduation. Typical teen hijinks involving sex, drugs, alcohol, and cops ensue. The trouble with this movie is that it doesn't add anything new to its genre. There is nothing I saw here that I haven't seen in other similar flicks. While it is billed as ""from the creators of Knocked Up & The 40 Year Old Virgin"", this film can't hold a candle to either of those efforts. It is extremely vulgar, incredibly crude, and the jokes really aren't even all that funny. At it's core, this is a gross-out movie trying to pass itself off as something more (which it isn't). Thus, if you came here for Emma Stone (like I did), it isn't worth it in the slightest. Go watch her couple of scenes in the movie on YouTube and forget about it. You'll be much better off not wasting your time.",1 "Worst and best opening scene with the girl on the street. Almost like suicide squad or watchmen, the next is there better heroes? Or just the norms? Trying to stop the bs seen as the bad guys to the public (aka the bad guys? Get it?)",9 "Season 1 and 2 are magical. I binged them in a few days. I rarely get sucked into a show like this, but this was great. It had something for the kid in me, it had action, it had humor, the characters were likable, it felt like it had everything. It put you in the 80's and felt a little like Freaks and Geeks to me with a sci-fi twist to it which was fairly creepy and well made. The interactions between the characters were great and the chemistry was there, so thumbs up for Season 1 and 2. That being said, I would stop watching at the end of season 2. Season 3 is a total piece of garbage. I am struggling to watch it, I'm at episode 5 now and it's not getting better. None of the characters feel like themselves. They are parodies at best of the characters they were in the first two seasons. But for the most part they feel like totally different characters, like I'm watching a different show. Everyone is angry and shouting, the plot makes almost 0 sense, the product placement is annoying to say the least... It's just sad, I feel betrayed almost. I initially thought they changed writers and directors because it felt so different... So watch season 1 and 2 and leave season 3 alone... I watch it on my ipad while doing other things just because I feel I need to finish watching it now like a chore... but oh my God... season 3 is horrible...",6 "People, people. Please stop with ""This movie was so awesome!"", oh I have to believe this movie was so good, and I have to repeat it because of the tragedy associated with it. It was not that good.(period) My bottom line for critiquing a movie is entertainment value. when I see a movie, I want to be entertained. I don't want to be preached too. I don't want political messages sandwiched and purposely slid into the creases of the movie. I don't want to be made to feel guilty about the environment or some filmmakers, or the Hollywood types personal agenda. So, based solely on the entertainment factor, I was disappointed. The first problem I had was with ""Bain"". Really? Was this guy kicked in the nuts? what was the deal with his Vienna boys choir voice? Whenever he talked I half expected him to break out into a monologue of Shakespeare. A villain should have some fear factor. It was so bad I was pre-occupied with thoughts of - what pro wrestler did they hire to play this guy?, and who's voice did they use to dub over this goon?, and why doesn't it match up? Make me afraid of this guy!!!!! Secondly, the special effects were......sad. When the highlights of the special effects are the motorcycle turning 90 degrees and having the wheels flip over?.....Really? Usually excellent special effects can hide some deficiencies in story and plot. Was I missing something? Next, there were excellent actors but they had nothing to work with. Lets do 500 really quick scenes and not spend any time exploring anything. Lets spend all the plot capital on Bain, and Bruce trying to climb out of a hole? And then have the the men in the bottom of the hole chant, ""rise, rise, rise, rise."" How genius! Now we can title the movie "" The dark night.......Rises"" Oh awesome, that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. The title makes so much sense now. Lets also write a really bland part for ""Robin"" and have him become the scout leader or some kind of weird babysitter for the orphan boys.(can't wait for the next installment with creepy and other than masculine Robin.) The gal that played Catwoman? Didn't work for me. Couldn't take my eyes off her freaky collarbone that the pearl necklace perched eerily on. I think I could stack books on that thing. Obviously four years was long enough for Nolan to lose what ever magic he had early on in this trilogy. I guess when the first one was so awesome, it's inevitable that it's going downhill from there. I was not entertained comparative to the amount of money spent. Save yourself twenty bucks and wait for it on DVD! You can put a label on a pile of pooh, and call it batman whatever, but it's still a pile of pooh. Unless you drank the, oh there was a tragedy so that immediately makes this movie awesome - kool-aide. The real tragedy is that i saw this movie on purpose!",3 "Another disappointment from Rian Johnson, this movie was so badly written and acted, I'm glad I used my AMC A-List to see this bc I would have demanded a refund!",1 Quite possibly the worst Marvel film made. Very disappointing,3 "There are a lot of things to like (or that have potential) in American Fiction. It features a strong cast-especially the lead-and is built upon an extremely interesting/entertaining satirical concept. The main problem it faces, however, is that the constant switching back and forth between intense family drama and farcical satire needed to either be better balanced or shifted from one camp to the other a bit more. As-is, the experience is odd/wearisome even if still watchable. For a very basic overview, American Fiction tells the story of Thelonious ""Monk"" Ellison (Jeffrey Wright), a stoic/up-tight writer who wants the Black experience portrayed as more than the usual caricatures or stereotypes. When a new book comes out that panders to that lowest common denominator, Monk is as apoplectic as he is depressed. But with family/money issues on the mind, he (bit-by-bit) gets pulled into writing an ""African-American vernacular"" piece that-of course-absolutely blows up and causes some severe conflicts of interest. As written by Percival Everett & Cord Jefferson (also the director), American Fiction is, on one hand, a pretty entertaining satire of Black representation in American culture. Maybe a little on the nose, but that is sort of the overall point of the entire piece. It is easy to laugh at what is transpiring while also reflecting upon how close it creeps to the truth. On the other hand, American Fiction also wants to be a pretty intense family drama, dealing with weighty issues like depression, mental health (as it applies to aging), and sexual orientation. While these plot-points and themes are not poor by any stretch of the imagination, I'd argue that they take away from the power of the satirical elements. I never made the connection between the wildly different tones-either because I missed some of Jefferson's nuance or it simply wasn't present. My favorite scene in this movie was seeing Wright go through a physical transformation-intellectual/academic to ""street""-walking down a hallway. I wish American Fiction could have tapped into that sort of energy much more than it ultimately did. Because audiences are so used to seeing Wright as the buttoned-up serious actor, highlighting his ability to play any type of role (which is clearly present, even if only in spurts here) would have potentially done wonders. As it stands, however, American Fiction left me feeling a little confused/hollow as to what the whole experience was all about. It is clearly well-produced and has a professional feel to it so I'd never call it a bad film, but I often felt its best potential qualities were somewhat marginalized in favor of plotlines that didn't seem to pay off in the endgame.",6 "You might think that this is going to be a wonderful mystery with some twisting story and awesome ending. However this might surprise you with the least of storyline that it has and an ending that goes not very smooth.",4 "This film is complete garbage. Whoever wrote the script needs to find a private island and live alone until they feel remorse for making movie goers sit through that pile of garbage that he/she heaped on the world. I gave a 2 solely out of respect for Christopher Bales career. However, I'm surprised he was duped into filming this movie. Makes me wonder if he's desperate for attention. Chris Rock was under utilized. Dinero needs to hang it up. His face looks the same in every movie. Margo and that other guy can't act at all. I'm surprised they keep getting asked to film. Rami was good. I actually wish Rami was in more movies. The screenwriting was atrocious. That can't be stressed enough, but then you have to wonder what producer actually put money into this? I didn't bother looking for the review, but I may because apparently the producers enjoy watching steaming piles of garbage for hours. Back to the script. What was the point? You never end up liking the characters. You never really feel like the movie reaches a climax. It's just drool. It tries to be a Guy Ritchie film and falls flat on its face. Do yourself a favor and skip this movie.",2 "I was so nervous for this show as I had previously read the books by Deborah Harkness but it did not disappoint at all. Yes, it's only the first episode but each and every character was portrayed so accurately and as far as I can tell they've stuck pretty close to the novel (not completely but enough). So far so good. Even though I've read the books I was still left anticipating what was to come next and I was fascinated by how they adapted from novel to screen. Hopefully they continue to stick to the novel! Can't for the next episodes!!!",10 "I Happened to see a Rodney Dangerfield DVD with some skits by Bill Murray-I think he gave a better performance. than here. Here he is detached,stoic as his Bob Harris doing a Commercial. His performance is hyped, not an Oscar worthy material to say the least. The beginning was dark and dreary with neither the Dialog holding your attention nor the Characters well identified. The background music is subtle with a lilting song at the end but most of the time it is lifeless. I do not see any brilliance in Direction. Sophia Coppola was criticized for her acting talent in ""God Father"" but I think she is better actress than a writer or a Director. If she did't have a famous last name this movie would never have garnered the attention as it has done. Johansson as Charlotte has potential but she has barely scratched it in this movie.",5 "Artistically, it's good. Cinematography and acting performances are fantastic. But the Storyline is only meh though. It really scoots past a fantasy story and is knocking on the door of pro-beastiality... so take that as you will.",4 It is a wonderful movie. Heart attack will come in the 2nd half,10 "Pretty depressing that this is so popular. The only thing I'd own out of the entire franchise is the original Captain Marvel comic. & BTW, a pox on Disney & Marvel for making Nick Fury black, thus taking a dump on the best artist in comics history, Jim Steranko.",3 "This was an interesting trip through the eyes of an idiot, as he is referred to by most in the film. I loved the music during the particular events, as well. Yes, this was an excellent film and yes, Tom Hanks is brilliant. The film is ultimately a talkie, though, and I'm not into talkies. I also found the film overlong with possibly too much information crammed into it. The visual effects were very good, especially the war scenes. The film does teach us a few lessons, e.g. never to judge a person by appearance, and never going back on promises made, and probably also not to give up on your dreams.",6 "I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of umbrella academy especially the sound track. I'm a bit of a stickler for authenticity in movies. Season 2, E6 has a scene where The Handler and Lila are playing bingo using bingo daubers. Bingo daubers didn't become popular until the late 20th century. They should have been using small, clear plastic disks or cards with sliding windows.",9 "I am a big bhuvam bam following bb ki vines since 6-7 years now. Currently two episodes have been released and they have been entertaining as expected from bb ki vines video. It's a treat for bb ki vines fan having to watch the characters in the same screen interacting. The punchlines are spot on they will make you laugh. Bhuvan is brilliant in accurately portraying the characters and you won't be. Able to notice that it's the same person who is portraying such variety of characters. We all have seen this through many years but to get the same impression after seeing different characters sharing the screen is another ball game.. Each character maintain its identity and we get the joy we have been looking at seeing the characters Now coming to the story, a simple middle class family winning a lottery and the struggles to get the lottery isn't a new concept but it is portrayed in a new dish with a unique comedy which Bhuvan carries always which keeps it entertaining(as in this two episodes) Rather than just a comedy the two episodes cover some serious issues in satirical manner like babas, obsession of people on social media over genuine humanity, the metaphor of a hospital as a market.. place and the choas of it and some minor ones Just the inclusion of these satires isn't as smooth and subtle and it seems rather pushed instead which kinda disturbs the flow. I think these were great episodes for those who follow bb ki vines and also for those who are in for an entertaining comedy.",7 "RELEASED IN 2008 and directed by Nicholas Stoller, ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"" is a romcom starring Jason Segel as Peter, a genial musician from Los Angeles who composes music for a popular detective show, which stars his hottie girlfriend, the titular Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). After she breaks up with him he vacations at a resort in Hawaii where, unexpectedly, his ex & her rock star beau (Russell Brand) also happen to be staying. Mila Kunis plays a concierge at the resort who takes interest in Peter. This is a compelling, amusing romantic comedy with Segel likable as the protagonist and Bell winsome and charismatic as his ex. Brand is great as a Jim Morrison-like rock god who doesn't drink; the way he performs on stage is laugh-out-loud funny (poking fun at rock stars). The resort locations are a highlight and the story is sprinkled with several notable guest stars (Bill Hader, Jack McBrayer, Maria Thayer, Taylor Wily, Paul Rudd, Da'Vone McDonald, Jonah Hill, etc.). Unfortunately, there are several NC-17 (aka porn-ish) scenes that I wasn't expecting since the version I watched was supposedly rated 'R.' I'm talking about several scenes of simulated sex, including one involving fellatio, as well as full-frontal male nudity right out of the gate (Seriously?). I basically ignored these scenes or rolled with them and laughed. I'm sharing this info for those who don't care to see a movie mixed with nigh-porn elements. THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour 51 minutes and was shot in O'ahu, Hawaii, and Los Angeles, as well as studio work done at Universal City, CA. WRITER: Jason Segel. GRADE: B but basically ruined (for me) by the porn aspects, so really 'D'",6 "When i watched the first episode, i thought it seems different and i was excited to know more. The things that got me hooked were the plot, the cast, and their way of presentation. As i went further,the story became slow paced. The main character was annoying. People were overreacting (most of the time). Even with the slow paced story i had to watch the further episodes because from the beginning author got me waiting and anticipating for that one episode(you'll get it which episode i am talking about). And you know what that particular episode made me feel betrayed. Last episode did some justice to the story and was very beautifully directed. The show is overrated but i won't say watching it was a complete waste of time. The suicide issue depicted surely has induced some sense of responsibility in us to watch out for the people around us.",5 "Excellent start to the series. It's been a long 3 years since the end of Game of Thrones. Excited for this new season that takes place 172 years before the start of Game of Thrones. The first episode is at precise timing. It didn't drag on (no pun intended), but it was perfectly executed. Great acting all around by all cast. The actors selected are great, of course. Matt a smith is perfect at Deamon and Patty an weak but honorable king Targaryen. The first episode is very Well-written, concise, and entertaining. Excited to be back in the realm of Game of Thrones.",8 "An exiled child with family problems finds themselves thrust into a magical private school. Once there a mystery involving their parents, magic and monsters creates whimsical narrative. Sound familiar? Wednesday answers the question no one asked. What if the Adam's family went to hogwarts? Then changed it just enough to avoid plagerisim. Here Wednesday is Goth Nancy drew. Solving the mysteries with constant thing ex machina. Well shot. Well acted. Monster looks like a cheap CGI garbage version of xtro. Stories are bland, recycled high-school drama/Harry Potter plot points. It aims more mature but falls flat in teen drama. At times it's rather insufferable. Pushed as a comedy it's seldom ever funny. Many will enjoy this. Turn your brain off and you can. Think about it and it's the same teen drama that's been on repeat on cable for 30 years. Neither original or very Adam's family. Give it a shot. But if your bored by episode 2 pick something else. The beat dosen't change.",4 The tick had a massive chin what's with the small chin,1 Swadesh very effectively conveys various ills in the Indian society and the fact that it needs to be addressed. Though the movie touches ample of sensitive issues but the story is so well spun that it will keep you hooked to your screen. Probably one of the best Bollywood Movies of all time.,10 "Oof. If you're going to see this movie, don't have high expectations. One of the worst Marvel films I have ever seen. Marvel tried too hard with this movie, and the result is a sad, all-over-the-place film that disappoints viewers. The movie was way too long, to the point where I almost walked out of the theater because it was dragging out so long. The special effects were not great and the movie was totally predictable. Save yourself the time and money, and don't go see this movie.",4 "The previews gave this show a great bit of hype. It could have been amazing however it looses it in the casting. While Luis Guzman is a great actor he is no Gomez. He does not fit the phyiscial being of the character, his portrayal of gomez is lazy and lacking the energy thay is to be expected. Mortisha was poorly cast as well. She is not projecting the eccentric matriarch that the series spent years establishing. It's worth a watch if you can get over the downright poor choice in cast. Wednesday is about the closest to a proper actress, however there is room for improvement. Otherwise enjoy, hopefully sometime in the future this can be corrected.",1 "The acting of the cast was appreciated with what they were given. I never had any expectations that this was more than a mindless action film, but despite the fun action and funny moments, the directorial style was unnecessarily choppy and the editing was sub par. This should been easy, nice job Michael Bay.",4 "I dont know why. I dont know where the money came from and where the money went. They did not use skilled or talented actors, writers or special effects at all. I dont know why they would have set the movie in America but they did. These movies were terrible. Unoriginal at best and just sloppy not well thought out and straight up low quality. Goes from dead end to not making sense in about 2 hours essentially. Almost painful. If they wanted to use The name of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter they should have kept some originality in it. At least thats how I feel. Im not sure if anyone else agrees.",1 "I really loved the first season and it's probably one of the best seasons i've ever seen. They should have stopped after the second one because this show is going down quicker than Lost. Just watch the first season, then stop. It's not worth it.",7 "Do not watch this if you're after the familiar grizzled cop routine. This has more in common with a Scandinavian crime series than the usual Hollywood fare. Yes, it's all a bit bleak and the first episode requires patience for characters to unfold. However, patience is rewarded with empathy and yes, disgust, as these characters etch out their place in Easttown. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. Recommended.",8 "I haven't walked out of a movie for in a while but this one made me! Movie has no flow to it just an F word every other word and a degenerate gambling jeweler. Please don't waste your time or money , it's godawful!",3 Love this film very gangster incredible! Also Pacino it a great actor in this,10 "I just returned home after the screening of MNIK and i had a blast! I just thought i should share my experience with all of you so here it goes... First things first it ain't a typical bollywood masala flick! It has India's most famous on-screen couple SRK-Kajol but it is not KKHH or DDLJ.... Directed by the supremely talented Karan Johar this movie is an absolute stunner!! In fact everybody(mostly were British) fell in love with SRK's character Rizwan Khan in the movie! Kajol has given a wonderful performance in the movie! I wont be surprised if this movie is nominated for Oscars! SRK plays Rizwan Khan who suffers from autism or commonly known as asperger's syndrome who is married to a single mother Kajol.. The movie deals with effects of 9/11 which shook the world! One man sets out to see the president of USA and shows wonderfully how the people should be strong to chuck away their fears.. The main highlights of the movie are SRK and the climax! Oh what a climax the movie has! You cant control but smile with lots of tears in eyes seeing the climax!! Once again SRK shows that he is not only here for comments and bad films(as people say) No movie in recent times has given so much of emotional attachment with the characters of the film!! The movie will become a cult classic for SRK fans and even those who hate SRK.. I wont spoil anything about the movie but i would say one thing: Wait for 12th Feb and book the tickets for the movie as soon as you can! And believe me it will change your life completely(and don't forget to thank me later! :)! The movie will break all records and set new trends in film making) For the people in India i feel lucky to have seen the movie before you but don't be disappointed! Better late then never!! I repeat whenever you will watch it your life will change completely!! This movie deserves a full 10!! Thanks and Regards!",10 "Much like a tired prostitute downtown this movie tried too hard but got nowhere. The story, while not inherently bad, was non-descript and reasonably predictable from the movie summary listed online. Somehow it still took 3 hours to squeeze in every possibly ounce of tired tropes. Guy has money. Guy likes drugs and women. Guy progresses through a typical set of circumstances from that point forward. Why this movie has received this degree of celebration and praise is beyond me. Halfway through you don't notice nudity or drugs because it blends into the background. While I can respect that as an artistic choice in this case it just seemed like they added a half cup too many boobs, and a tablespoon too much coke to the film recipe and no one had the heart to tell them. After an hour I started watching the clock, wondering how much longer they could stretch this story out. It's very, very rare that after a movie I have that feeling of frustration at an evening wasted. In this case I can resoundingly say that I wasted my night on this particular movie.",2 "They are just selling while I was waisting my time on a poor story ,I expected a story which is going to force me to stay in front of the TV all the weekend, but the show disappointed me. The Dragon was a low package lol, next time spend money on your graphics.",3 "Why Chris worked in this move and why Netflix produced this movie, are the biggest questions pops in mind while watching Extraction, plot of movie is completely predictable and story is as old as Jim Hendrix jeans. production wise is very low. action is so normal. too much firing of bullets can not makes a great action movie. Direction and script are worst. every actor is looking confuse on screen as they themselves asking questions to themselves ""what the hell we are doing"" i advice Netflix that pls do not waste our data on such movies.",2 Why put yellow filter on Dhaka? Dhaka is attractive and colourful city of Bangladesh. but on the movie they made very bad reputation of Dhaka city.,4 "*I've tried to keep it as spoiler free as possible* Fan is a movie which has an excellent buzz for a non-commercial movie which stands on just the star power of Shah Rukh Khan to make people flock to the theatres. It doesn't tick any boxes of making sure it has a big opening so Fan's sole focus in theory is its reliance on excellent ""content"". Overall Fan is a thrilling ride where the first half and the second half are different movies as the first half focuses on the journey of Gaurav Chandana in his quest to meet the sole purpose of his existence for 25 years but the second half is Aryan Khanna's quest to catch Gaurav. Screenplay The screenplay is written by Habib Faisal with dialogues additionally by Sharat Katariya. The beats of the screenplay do come at the right point in the first half but it could have been better if Faisal could have played with the expectations of the audience from a particular scene. Some individual scenes are brilliantly written like the one where Gaurav Chandna's parents help him win the Super Sitara award. The Madame Tussaud's scene is also played out really well. Fan is an underwritten, muddled development of unrealistic proportions. The best thing about the screenplay was how they fleshed out the character of Gaurav Chandna by working on the little nuances and making the character entirely believable which Maneesh Sharma and Faisal are capable as seen by their execution of the character of Ranveer Singh in ""Band Baaja Baarat"". Some scenes in the second half seem stupid as they go on an unrealistic terrain. The portrayal of the Hindi Film Industry could have been better but the main focus seemed to be on the controversial part of it. The screenplay tried to find the balance in the commerciality of the project and a good storyline and in trying to find that it lost its way in the later part of the second half. The potential of making an excellent quality film with this concept was lost but not by a great margin. Acting I believe that a lot would be said about the acting of Shah Rukh Khan in this movie as Gaurav Chandna as the actor has masterfully played the 25 - year old fan with aplomb. It never seems like that Gaurav is played by Shah Rukh Khan and not by another seasoned method actor. The character of Gaurav by the end of the film could have easily be felt by the audience as a negative character and make us not empathize with him but the childhood like innocence is maintained in our minds about him only due to the complex yet great performance by Shah Rukh Khan. The supporting cast has also done a great job but are hidden in the shadows for most of the part but what should also be appreciated is Khan's underplayed portrayal of a superstar. Music With only one song which is not included in the movie Maneesh Sharma has done an unusual thing for a Hindi movie. He could have easily squeezed a song here and there but he chooses not to because the movie then would have been something else. The background score by the Italian composer Andrea Guerra is unusual as he plays with a lot of sounds in the starting which sometimes personally for me seemed out of place. Though in the later half of the movie the music seemed to have come together really well. Cinematography I can not forget the use of mirrors in this movie for example in the first face-off between Gaurav and Aryan Khanna where Khanna is shown in a single shot while the reverse shot is shown with Gaurav being reflected in the mirror showing his dual nature that we are about to witness. This is one of the many instances of a brilliant use of mirrors. Without spoiling the climax I would like to say that the last meeting between Gaurav and Aryan is shot brilliantly well especially the way Gaurav is captured. The lights used in the scene lifts it up to a whole new level. Also, the use of negative space in the frame is utilized at the right points is appreciated. Editing The crisp editing of the film flows really well as it is fast-paced and the little stylish transitions like when Gaurav is returning to Delhi in a train is done really well. The use of jump - cuts is also on point. Direction While the film builds up Gaurav's Aryan obsession and his parallel vocation as an Aryan impersonator, it is tenaciously amusing and credible and the reason can only by Maneesh Sharma's direction. The direction in the most parts is inconsistent as it is a letdown to an extent in the writing department.",7 "This series is the perfect remedy for the ""superhero nausea"" from Marvel and the like. It's amazing in every regard and paints quite the picture of how superheroes could be perceived in the ""real world"", with some added flair, of course. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.",7 "I started to watch 24 with season 1, of course, but after a few episodes, I was very disappointed. I was very close to stop watching this show. I was lucky that Kiefer is a very good actor and, therefore, I continued to watch the show. Season 2 was GREAT! Season 3 was GREAT! Season 4 was GREAT! Season 5 was GREAT! I am glad I didn't stop watching this excellent TV Show. But, after 5 seasons, I have a question: It was so bad season 1? Especially the first 5-10 episodes... I am ready to watch again that season because I cannot believe that is such a big difference between season 1 and the other seasons. My opinion is that TV Show ""24"" is the best TV Show ever (together with ""Prison Break"").",10 "When I heard about a new Movie based on J.K.Rowlings writing and in the fantasy world of Harry Potter, I was very intrigued like most people who enjoyed the little wizards story. But this movie had such a bad story, that in the end even the special effects couldn't make it up to a good impression. The characters have zero depths, the main is very hard to understand because of mumbling, important and unimportant story info is just thrown in without any previous explanation... The two good things were the special effects and the actors player reasonably well. But this can carry only so far in a movie and the plot really ruined it. For younger viewers this will be still a great watch I guess, but for anyone over 18 - be prepared for a very flat storyline whith bits and pieces scattered around!",1 "A long sketch with different themes. This is not a movie,this is just a lighthearted take on a detective story with a too much of a lighthearted performance from all the actors. Apparently someone thought this would be thrilling and funny in the same time, and maybe he was the same person that thought having Daniel Craig speaking in an awkward American accent would add to whatever he was trying to add to. There was no depth at all in the actors performance,it felt like they're doing a high school drama sketch. Do potential heirs with all the greed and hatred they have towards each other, care about some nurse who was taking care of the man they are wishing he would die as soon as possible? Not realistic at all. This so called movie was made only with intention to provide some light entertainment for when you have nothing better do or watch!",5 "Continuing my plan to watch every Johnny Depp movie in order, I come to Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them. There is no need for this movie. That's true of most sequels/prequels. This movie was made for one reason. The Harry Potter movies made money. A lot of money!! And Warner Bros were not ready to give up on the goose that laid the golden egg just yet. So they set about trying to kick start a new franchise. These movies should not appeal to me, but I do enjoy watching them!! Maybe it's because of the fun my kids had watching them, and I got caught up in their excitement. I dunno. But I find it entertaining anyway. I have a real soft spot for Eddie Redmayne, and I enjoyed his performance as Newt. In fact all of the leads are engaging. As for the movie sufficiently detached from the Potter books/movies so that a viewer doesn't need familiarity with the latter to enjoy the former. But there are enough call-backs for fans to know that we're still in the same universe. Depp filmed a secret cameo (which amazingly in this day and age, was kept a secret) Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them grossed $234 million at the domestic box office to end the year to 12th highest grossing movie of 2016. So it was the lowest grossing and worst performing movie from that universe, but considering it was a prequel, that features none of the original cast I think it did quite respectably. Enough to warrant a second movie to be released this year anyways.",7 "I might (read: probably am) naive, but can we collectively at least try to evolve beyond the relentless criticism of female bodies and faces? It's exhausting. Not that it matters, but I think she's actually done less to herself the last couple of years. Even if I'm wrong, a) who gives a kit, and b, c, d & e) she's still really, really good at what she does, including what she does here. For the 9/10 of you that say you ""can't get past her face/ lips/ whatever"", honestly, just can it already. And while I'm at it, I don't care how old you think she looks compared to her husband either. I'd hazard to guess that none of you are handwringing over the May-December relationships that exist in the 99,530 other films when it's a man who's senior, so check your sexism already. Is the pacing sitcom-speed pacing? No. Is it even ""Succession""-speed pacing? Again, no. It's a slow burn, so know that going in, but it's also a compelling storyline, as ""worst nightmare"" scenarios often are. I'm into it.",9 "Just finished the show, it is good and detailed story. Quite messed up at times but watched till the end regardless. Could be classed as a hard watch so just bare that in mind. I got a good understanding of each character and their personality. Not bad.",7 As always First season was good then Netflix ruined it Actually they made it worse in S3 Don't watch this show and wast your time The vibes and energy it gives you is so negative The story does not build up The writers wanted to sell and that's it,1 "Movie is super primitive, cliche driven and as unoriginal as it gets. it totally holds on actors performances! script is brain dead. they did succeed with tear jerking goal, but boy everything else feels so artificial. re-watch it and you will come to the same understanding. cheesy dialog , poor camera, poor script.",5 "This film is possibly the most overrated films released in recent years. Nothing much that's great came out of this film The story was a complete bore, put me to sleep in the cinemas. Gal Gadot's acting was terrible, as if she stumbled in front of a camera and they started recording. The action was basic as was the overall direction I do like the main theme they used, just a shame there are no good scenes to play it over. Chris Pine was probably the only good cast member. A lot of reviews I believe are false due to people's obsession with ""women's empowerment"" or their blind love for Gal (even they don't compliment her acting) this film is not groundbreaking in the slighest I'd recommend everyone to watch the animated Wonder Woman films (Wonder Woman 2009 and Wonder Woman Bloodlines)",3 "Compared to the other annabelle and conjuring movies. good acting indeed, but the story just doesn't do it. There is also nothing challenging in it. Too bad.",4 Its boring the story is so basic and predictable and its not even a bit special and I hate the fanbase its way too overrated...,1 "Everything is wrong with this film. There is no any relation to Dhaka city. Accent and spelling of Bengali language was wrong and absurd. The movie was shot in Indian city Ahmedabad, that was totally different from Dhaka. Bangladesh is not like Somalia or Afganistan.",1 "This is a like it or not series. I enjoyed it, but it was lame after episode 5 and seamed to just go through the numbers in closing out the murder case the story centred on. It's worth watching, but don't expect a stellar crime drama, it is a bit of a trudge and doesn't go where you might expect. It is big on human failings and life struggle. I believe the script involved to many stories lines that distracted from main plot.",6 "I'm sure there must have been a reason why 2+ hours of tedious nothing was filmed, followed by a few minutes of action. This is just an awful film, with no direction, plot or any sort of interesting storyline to it. If anybody else had come up with this script it would have gone straight in the bin of every movie studio going. I hope Tarantino stops now, I certainly won't be watching anything else he does....",3 "Perspectives are good, but film is too long to this subject",6 "If you liked Kung Fu Panda #1, you will love #2. With the exception of a little bit of a cryptic ending, the story is perfection. It's also the kind of movie that will make you want to run out and buy a blu-ray if you don't already own one. The detail in every scene is just mind-blowing. It's also my 4 yr old's favourite movie. He's watched it about 40 times. And no, it's no too scary for that age. Anyone who thinks otherwise, is probably a helicopter parent who bubble wraps their kids at night. Yes, there is fighting.. but hey, it's 'kung fu!' - I mean that in a fun way. It's 'good' vs 'bad' and there's no blood. I watched much scarier movies that Disney put out when I was a kid, and me and my whole generation grew up just fine. So get the family together and enjoy it, I guarantee you'll want to clap and cheer by the end!",10 "I just binge-watched the whole series in a few days. It has one of the most compelling story arcs of any anime I've seen. The early episodes are interesting but not exceptionally so, with an unstable protagonist, a schlub, and some idiot cosplay girl. But it's amusing, and various characters are added. The time travel story starts slowly, but this is necessary, and the series becomes incredibly compelling as the results of small time shifts create big problems. At times I got a little lost in the story, but the series does generally catch you up again, and while I would need to see some sort of elaborate diagram to see if this all holds together, in my mind it seems to. The series is swimming in time paradox issues, and at times I think it's closer in spirit to fantasy than to sci fi, especially since there seems to be a rather unscientific concept of fate, but it's incredibly absorbing throughout, and the characters become surprising likable and nuanced as the series progresses.",9 I like this first episode a lot. It kinda feels scary and confuses the fu out of you but I think it makes it even better. My favourite thing about it was how he skipped forward multiple days over night. Cant wait for the next episode.,8 "Almost everyone reading this review will have read the Harry Potter novels and seen the previous six films. Deathly Hallows part 1 is a natural progression from the earlier works--faithful to the book and very well done. I didn't enjoy the film very much, but that reflects the ""calm before the storm"" aspect of the plot. Everything in this film is preparing us for the final shootout (curseout?) that will take place in 7b. We don't learn too much new in this movie. We already know that adolescents have sexual fantasies, Emma Watson looks good in jeans, and Voldemort is a really, really bad guy. Except for the three stars, all the other regulars just have cameo roles, although Dauby has one great scene. If you're into Harry Potter, naturally you have to see this film. If not, it's not the one with which to begin. As always, the special effects are great, and many will be lost on a small screen. If you're going to see the movie, see it in a theater if possible.",7 "The directors, writers, and producers should be ashamed of the disgusting world they imagined. It is a revolting celebration of grotesque brutality and evil. There is no redeeming quality or goal other than promote the darkest elements of humanity. I can't Imagine the sick minds that created such a horrific darkness. If you like unchecked violence with no goal other than suffering and bloodshed or death, then this is the show for you. Matt Smith is a terrible actor but seems appropriate in this nightmarish dystopian world. His own brooding seems more in line with his personality rather than any acting accomplishment.",1 "Amazing BB as people expect of him. Great acting, direction, punchlines. Anup Soni's cameos in between are just way too good. BB just killed it. BB's best until now.",8 "No clichés here. Just a great story line and characters you'll invest in. A dynamite series. Every season is better than the last, with a really thought out characters and plot lines. Might be one of my favorite series ever.",10 "Giving this movie 8 out of 10 stars is a huge stretch and I suspect that the fact that Clooney and Bullock, especially Bullock, is in it has a hell of a lot to do with why this film got such high marks. The movie is predictable and annoying at times, especially with Sandra Bullock and her return to the movie Speed screaming. The camera work and scenery were great, but the plot was slightly better than OK and the acting was about the same. Overall the movie is very watchable, but certainly not worth all of the hoopla. I think 6 stars out of 10 is fare. A lot of money was spent on this film, but there was a lot more that should've been done to make it more believable for 1 and just better all around in my opinion.",6 "Not like other marvels cgi crap,,,this thing is actually a masterpiece. Thats what superheros should be. Best thing ever created by marvel.",9 Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is surely one of the best movies of Indian Cinema.. A perfect biopic made by the brilliant Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra... The man knows how to make perfect films and he is back again... 187 minutes duration is bit long but never felt boring at any point... The execution of a biopic is very important and he came with a bang.. It was just magical to watch Milkha Singh run in the film.. Farhan Akhtar has done a exceptional job and he is deservingly the winner of National Awards and the Filmfare this year for sure... Supporting cast was exceptional . From Pawan Malhotra to Divya Dutta everyone has done a splendid job... A patriotic person will come out having tears in his eyes for sure.. Hard work and passion always pays you is shown in a way u just can't forget.. Its the Movie Of The Year and no doubt will be Indian Official entry to the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film Category....,10 "I saw the first ""Spider-Man"" movie opening weekend in 2002, and I thought it was great. Tobey Maguire was exceptional, Willem Dafoe was top-notch evil as the Green Goblin, Kirsten Dunst was bright as Mary Jane, and J.K. Simmons pulled off a perfect job as J.Jonah Jameson. I prayed that that ""Spider-Man 2"" would be even better. My prayers were answered. But the sequel, released in 2004, wasn't just better. It was far more better that I ever dreamed. Once again, Tobey Maguire was exceptional and so was the rest of the cast. But what stole the show was Alfred Molina's portrayal of Dr. Octopus. He was terrific. I loved him. He went from a kind scientist to a madman, yet still I felt there was something good still in him. The special effects were dazzling, the romance hit high notes with me. Everything about this movie from start to finish was superb. I found this a flawless piece of movie magic. It was better than any other comic book movie I have ever seen, past, present, or future. Oh, J.K. Simmons did it again as J. Jonah Jameson, only he had more character time in this sequel, and it paid off. He was so outrageously funny in ""Spider-Man 2"" I thought I was going to have heart failure laughing at his attitude towards Peter Parker. Believe me, this is the best.",10 "Bollywood seems to be producing great films again. After a long wait ever since the days of Sholay, Kabhi Kabhi, Trishul, 1942- A love story and of course Lagaan, we are treated to a modern day masterpiece. This film was derided by influential sections of the Indian press who were biased to SRKs other release at the time, Veer Zara, but then still emerged triumphant ! SRks best performance ever...even better than Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na or the Yash Chopra/KAran Johars sweeteners. For a debut performance, Gayatri Joshi gives a very composed performance. Memeorable Scenes: SRK: YOu Indians can't take criticism Kaveriammma: YOU INdians ? SRK: Sorry, us Indians Watch it again and again, too good.",10 This writing is so originality that it is a shame how often this masterpiece is prejudiced as a simply kid tv show. The origin story has a nearly magic touch but the rules and the history is so clearly that it seems like a total normal world but it is so much more behind the simply stricted power of the different characters which makes the universe so unique. I can not describe the complexity of the show which is described in a such easy way that there is no question at the end. Just watch it and love it. To the raiting its a nine because of the ending. The end strated extremely heroic but the end fight was so easy to expect that there was no great ending in relation to the story which were always so exciting and unexpectedly.,9 "Being a nostalgia and Jennifer Connelly fan I had to eventually check out what this movie was. Well that and all the hype the film got this past summer made me curious as well. I give Tom Cruise credit for maintaining his appearance but this movie was average at best. There was nothing in this film that made me really want to root for Maverick. The film dragged out. There was some cool flying scenes which made as s pointed out the movie average at best to me. And I'm not even a Tom Cruise hater. Seems many loathe the guy for some reason. I guess Top Gun fans would like this or maybe it's be better to see in theaters but yeah I wasn't impressed. The Lady Gaga song in it is my least favorite of hers and made my ears want to bleed.",4 "Now, for the people that see this and think ''oh this is a cringe kids drama only little betas watch this show'' mmm no. The reality cant be more off. It is expertly crafted drama, with insane performances from children actors, even better from adults, some of the most lovable characters and one of the most insane glow ups on tv (im looking at you Steve). Insane cinematography, VFX, CGI. It is good that it draws inspiration from Steven King, the Goonies and such, but doesn't straight up copy them. An amazing show.",8 "Great combo of comedy and mystery. Got some really funny laugh out load scenes ( scrabble game )....starts off slowly but as the episodes are short,it's easy to binge and enjoy. Although not a huge fan of either comedians, I really enjoyed this light hearted show and am looking forward to the next one!",8 The potential script had and the movie which got delivered is just makes you feel bad about injustice done.potential of russo combined with hems worth of actions still cannot hide the flat acting and lack of punch lines.i felt like all the characters were there just do school kid's unwanted homework . Villian never felt like threat and david harbour for 5 minutes created the vibe of villainous charm.overall disappointed but i wish sam best wishes to complete his directorial curve and utilize casts in better way .,6 "This show is great, in that Steve Martin & Martin Short play 2 different-personality amateur sleuths. It's generally light-hearted, and is meant to be. What I find distracting and detracting is the amount of f-words used, mostly by Selena. I get that she is supposed to be a third personality type in the trio, a sarcastic younger-generation versus two older guys, but the frequency and ease with which she says f-word iterations definitely takes this series out of the ""sweet"" classification that some reviewers are calling it, and her. I wonder if she talks that way in real life, or if it's mainly because the writers wrote it that way, or maybe both. Thumbs down to the writers for trying to spice it up in this manner. And points-off from Selena for going along with it. Unfortunately it seems that it's currently in vogue for folks to talk this way in public, online, social media etc. Believe me, I have heard every vulgarity in the book during my social services career jobs, and have been called every foul name; but that doesn't mean that it should be considered okay, normal, acceptable for people with any amount of Class to talk that way.",8 "I saw this film at the San Diego Comic Con Premiere and By the end of the film I was in complete shock, the film's Runtime is a bit over 95 Mins but it does such a great job in that time period that it leaves room for a potential Sequel or even a Prequel. The directors knew what they were doing. It's been a long time since I have ever seen a film That makes me want to write a review about it. I'm really glad I saw this film and what next film the directors will make next. A24 was really smart in taking this film and adding it to its Horror Collection. I look forward to buying this film in 4K sometime in the future.",10 "Very loose plot, not convincing at all. none of characters develop enough depth to become believable. actors may have gave their best shot but nothing helpful for the entire movie. the only thing watchable in the movie was Jennifer Lawrence herself. if you don't have an affection for her don't touch this title at all.",4 "Yet another Annabelle movie, with a storyline that felt repetitive and a jumble of unrelated events involving werewolves, ghosts, and eerie creatures. It left me unimpressed, resembling an average scary movie at best.",4 """Dunkirk"" is not a bad film, but it does not at all deserve the lavish praise that has been bestowed upon it by critics. Its chief problem is that it has no truly strong characters. Now, some people have said that this is a result of the nonlinear narrative, and they're wrong. The problem, rather, is simply inadequate character writing on Nolan's part. The narrative structure is arguably a strength, as it truly does cause us to feel – for a short while – the silliness and arbitrariness of war. The film's lack of strong character development, however, unsurprisingly becomes a more glaring fault as the film unfolds. Its best scenes are mostly in the last third, though the speech sequence at the very end is overly preachy and heavy-handed. ""Dunkirk"", ultimately, is an example of how realism to a film's subject does not make that film a masterpiece. Depth is needed; excellent characters are needed. I truly suspect that if you were to show any reasonably good film critic the first 40-50 minutes of this film and not tell them that Christopher Nolan directed it, they would likely see little difference between it and most blockbusters that they are forced to review every summer. Yes, Zimmer's score is strong, and there are moments of excellent camera-work. Nevertheless, the fact that this film is actually being lauded by not only audiences but even a fair number of critics as one of the greatest war films ever made makes me somewhat concerned about the future of film criticism in the United States. What makes ""Dunkirk"" as significant a work of art as ""All Quiet on the Western Front"", ""Paths of Glory"", or ""Apocalypse Now""? Nothing, because it is nowhere near those films artistically and intellectually.",7 "The story is actually good-I'd rate the story alone a 7/10. It's a good arc, the characters stand on their own, and they behave more or less consistently based on how the story portrays them. The scene in which Miles finally gets into his own, that worked for me, a lot. Now, how did I end up giving this one a 6, when the story is a 7? Because it's an animated movie, and to me the overall look matters even more then, more so than if it were live action. And the style-let's just say, I'd rather they went full hand-drawn or full, clean CGI (Pixar style). Still-frames look great, but movement-no.",6 "If it wasn't for Sandra's acting, I would have DNFed. I should also mention I didn't read the book (I know the book was written before The Happening came out, so I don't think it plagiarized anything like some people are suggesting.) But I didn't read the book (I have no desire too now after this movie) but maybe some of these questions were answered there, and Netflix dropped the ball. I'll start with the good first. -Sandra's acting. As always she proves her craft is top notch. The first 15 minutes of the film was action packed and had me on the edge of my seat. Everything from the fear of watching people go crazy, to meeting the other characters and them taking up shelter in the home, it all was on point. -The symbolism of the ending. What I did NOT like: To be honest, they should have just killed those two off, but instead, they randomly stole the car and left? Why? What was the purpose? The only thing I can think is that they needed them to either be gone (in which case, kill them) Or to take the car so when the other dude gets trapped in the garage he can't escape (BUT if that was the case, why not just, you know...NOT give him access to the keys?) Plus why would he take the car when the danger is outside? There were plenty of ways get around that. MY argument to him was that blind people can navigate the world, and after five years of essentially being blind, she acclimated. However, the river WAS a little over the top in terms of believe ability. I mean, I wasn't looking for some ten-minute deep, profound explanation...in fact, I enjoy movies and books that give me the freedom to form my own opinion and don't spell every little thing out for me, but this was too much. I just needed a little something to make sense of it all, but I was never given one. -Why are some people dying but others aren't? Aside from the obvious (blind people), I don't understand why most were dying, but others weren't. MY guess, in the beginning, was that Sandra's character didn't die because she was pregnant (and babies can't see) so somehow the life-form she was carrying was protecting her. BUT again, that was just ME filling in the blanks for that character. It was NEVER discussed why some people weren't dying when they were exposed. I know it's because we needed more bad guys to kill the good guys to create conflict etc, but again, a little explanation would have been nice. -The chemistry/ romance between Tom and Sandra. *sigh* I didn't feel the romance/ love between them. Like I thought they made GREAT friends, but there wasn't a romantic spark between them. I wouldn't care because this wasn't a romance, but the consequence down the line was that when Tom ended up dying, the emotional element wasn't there for me. (I felt for the children though.) Even though, again, I know it wasn't a romance, I personally wish there was another was another scene between them, something that made me see their romantic connection (not even sex) just...I don't know...something. For the sake of character development. Heck, I felt more of a connection between Sandra when she was drinking in the kitchen with that guy than I did with her and Tom. I guess what I'm saying is, I just wished they would have remained friends because the romance aspect felt forced. But the both of them being pregnant and giving birth at the same time wasn't enough for me to believe they had enough of a connection for Sandra's character to finally name the girl and declare, ""After the sweetest woman I've ever known."" Say what, now???? The dumbest woman maybe, because she let that guy in the house which led to her death and the other housemates. But I digress. That said, there was a scene with the little girl in the river that made me tear up (I actually added another star because of it.) It was the scene where Sandra announced that one of them were going to have to open their eyes and look in order to tell her what direction to head in. Her little boy volunteered twice but each time she said, ""I will decide who it is."" And the little girl...man, she just knew. It broke my heart. -I was also waiting for something super traumatic or intense to happen during the river scene or the forest scene after. Like my adrenaline was pumping and I was ready for the big showdown to freedom. But...there wasn't much of one. I honestly thought she was going to have to gouge one the children's eyes out or even her own eyes out in the forest in order to save them, but alas. Nope. It was a fairly quick scene (just some voices) before they found safety at the blind school. (That part was brilliant.) In short, It started off as a dystopian/apocalyptic thriller with some serious potential, but ended up becoming this strange, I guess....inspirational journey? That wasn't really all that inspirational. If I had paid money to see this film in a theater, I would have felt ripped off.",4 "I'm not someone who often watches comedies, so they don't make me laugh much, but if they all became as funny as Barbie, I might give it another go. Because I really laughed out loud during the film. It did away perfectly with the comedy and the moralizing, a bit deeper, philosophical stuff. Of course, the soundtrack is top-notch, the sets are breathtaking and there's Ryan Gosling: the main reason I came. In addition to all that, this film is a good critic of patriarchal rule, without overdoing it. It questions gender roles in a fluid way, and brings existential questions to the fore. By the way, I don't understand the opinions of those who didn't like the film because it promoted feminism. Whereas Barbie is literally an invention designed to make women feel as important as men in society, to break down stereotypes and glorify gender equality. Ok whatever, go and see it, it's worth it.",8 "pros: great story line, great action sequences, special/visual effects look very real, more realistic character traits (bruce and alfred actually have confrontations from time to time) cons: script (some cheesy dialogue bogs down great action sequences), slow in the beginning (not too big of a con though, it keeps you interested),Christian Bale is even worse at playing batman than clooney or kilmer (since when did the bat growl instead of talk, since when did he have an under-bite, or a slight lisp, by the way?) by the end of the almost two and a half hour movie, i was bored. any male whose ever had a childhood may be disappointed...i don't know, my girlfriend loved it. but two hours into it i was thinking ""for the love of god, i don't care if batman gets killed, just end the friggin movie.""",5 "This film is quite amazing, as far as visual effects, story, and exploration of new worlds. But the thing is, this movie isn't really one of the best this year. Good but not great. I enjoyed it enough though to think the film was unforgettable. And it is unforgettable. It's just very overrated and over hyped. But I definitely recommend it. It's truly a blast to watch. Plus, the performances are excellent too from Sam Worthington (a rising star) and Sigourney Weaver (a veteran actress). It's hard to say that the movie isn't good, because of the groundbreaking special effects. Plus, in 3-D, they don't throw too much at your face. They just add some emphasis to it. Just go see it for yourself. That's all I can say. 8/10",4 "all the 9 and 10 stars are blind SRK fans who have totally forgot the meaning of good script as srk stopped making movies with script. its a HNY level of movie or should i say humshakals level because gaurav used his face as he was a look alike of aryan i mean come on! look alike? logic? Humshakals! And even that well praised gaurav did his part of overacting believe me! this movie fan is totally predictable. i was so exited after watching the trailer, decided to watch it the first day it self and u know what? i wish i could get my money back. so unrealistic and illogical my god what were they trying to do? a star never behaves like this, never gives importance to a random fan who misbehaves like this. and a fan can never get so much liberty to do all those things gaurav did in this movie i mean seriously is it so easy to get in touch with a star, call him and threatened him? i don't think so! if you don't believe me go and watch it but just a tip: leave your brain at home because you wont need it watching this movie!",2 "David Yates took the awesome fantasy world that Chris Columbus had began, and then ruined it with his dark grim atmosphere! This movie is so boring and unbearable, I cannot believe it. It's unwatchable.",1 I am still trying to figure out if this show is worth watching it all the way through? I use this site as a guide to trust a show but I can't help but wonder why ppl love it and then there are ppl that bash it. I guess we shall see I am through 2 episodes and I enjoy it.,8 The acting in this movie was great but I had no idea what was going on throughout the duration of the film. It got pretty weird at times and it left my husband and I scratching our heads.,4 "The film is stunningly beautiful, I've read about the amount of human-hours invested in this film, and those people, indeed, deserve an Oscar. However, on the other side: linear and one-sided characters, which are not properly introduced, and I still doubt, why some of them were in the film. Like, if you remove them NOTHING will change. The last thing to say: I belive the film is overvalued. Yes, it is beautiful, new generation, so to say, BUT, I can't agree that this film has the right to stay in line with one of the best films in the World. It is always easier to draw a cartoon full of emotions than to show emotions of a real person.",6 "Ever since i encountered this series, i fell in love with it. I had never seen anything like this on screen before and i think i never will. Solid Characters, flawless storyline and sweet dialogs.. this series has it all. I have seen it over and over again and it never gets boring. I also recommended this to a lot of friends and every single one of them loved it. It is amazing how a ""cartoon series"" can immensely entertain people of every age. Another prominent feature of this tremendous series is its novelish- character-building. It never feels like a series; it is almost as if you are reading a thoroughly entertaining fantasy work of literature. The characters of Iroh and Tuff are my favorites. For anyone who has not seen it.. DO IT.. and spread it :-) It's so awful that a series so good is relatively unknown to most of people. In short, it is one of a kind and a must-watch. A 9/10 for me.",9 "This is without a doubt one of the stupidest movies I've seen in a while. And don't get me wrong, it's definitely a ""bad"" movie, but it's the good kind of bad. It's the funny kind of bad, which I'm glad it is because I was dreading that it would be the boring kind of bad. If you want to watch a dumb movie with really bad and funny dialogue, then this is it. Plus it's only an hour and a half, so it won't waste too much of your time.",3 Why didn't we get to see Jason reunited with his wife and kids?????? It's one of the only reasons I kept watching after the first 3 episodes. The the show turned into a melancholy slow pace soap opera until the last episode. It could have finished much better.,7 Incredible performances by both Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany very suspense and has you intrigued Elizabeth needs more roles in marvel movies,8 "Sacred Games is a decent watch though the 9+ rating is undeserved for the series as a whole. The weakest part of the series is the story is all over the place, it tries to do too much and you don't really care for the most part what happens to the people involved. With that said, the series is directed very proficiently, the cinematography is excellent and though it's not extremely high budget stuff I have absolutely no complaints on the technical front. The strongest thing going for Sacred Games is the multiple stellar performances. Siddiqui is brilliant and so damn charismatic. There's no amount of praise that could suffice for Radhika Apte's performance. It's worthy of an Academy Award, I have seldom encountered any actor, male or female, give such a natural performance. Saif, to his credit, doesn't come off as a flashy movie star and gives a solid performance as a humble cop. Did they have to dress him up in skin tight clothes for every scene though? In any case, it's an endearing performance, he was one of the few characters I empathized with. Even the actor who plays Saif's deputy gives a brilliant performance, there is literally no bad or unnatural performance to be found, even the bit actors are good. Another strong point is the action, interesting events occur throughout and no episode is boring. I have no problem with vulgarity or gore but at times found that these things (especially the swearing) was used as a crutch in a misguided attempt to keep things spicy and ""realistic,"" when you do too much of something it kinda loses its impact. Sacred Games is a decent watch, not bad for a weekend binge, but that's all it is. A coherent, more interesting and focused storyline, carried by such a brilliant cast could have been something exceptional. But it's heartening to see the level of proficiency the Indian film industry has reached. The future is bright indeed, laudey!",7 "A trio of true crime podcast enthusiasts investigate a murder in their building. Comedy murder mystery starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, plus lots of great cameos throughout. This is a really fun show. It's modern, fast-paced and well-scripted, with strong leads, good chemistry, a decent (whodunnit) plot and with nice twists throughout. A great concept for a TV show. The second season continues very much in the same vein but is not quite as good (it's less fresh, less exciting, with a weaker plot). Overall, I enjoyed this show but Season 1 is somewhat more entertaining. Worth a watch.",7 I don't even disagree with their politics but it's way too much. It detracts from the storytelling and completely pulls me out of the moment. They should've found a more healthy balance.,6 They play it way to safe the cgi looks bad and they just look and talk weird,3 "Probably no. This is one of the worst space related film I've ever seen. In reality, absolutely nothing would happen the way it happened in the film. It's so shallow, so predictable, so obvious and so painfully against the laws of physics that I couldn't believe this actually ended being produced. I don't understand why wasting so much money for something like this, where all that potential could be used to actually educate people, give them something to think about, some substance. The only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 is simply because of where the plot takes place. I love cosmos, even though this one was made on Earth by people who never been out there in space, and who didn't bother to consult with some who actually went there.",2 "My biggest issue with Venom isn't the fact that I don't care too much about Marvel films anyway, it's not the CGI (there's a lot of it but it's used well), and it's not Venom's humour (because the films attempts at humour aren't too shabby. It's undeniably well made, don't get me wrong, but Riz Ahmed (who is an excellent actor) as a relatively timid antagonist? Michelle Williams as a whole? Tom Hardy feeling like Logan Marshall-Green from Upgrade but not having the ability to carry it off on the magnitude that is expected of him in this is a non-starter.",5 "I didn't dislike watching this film but I wasn't too pleased with it either. It was mainly because I have nothing to go on from the beginning and when I reached the end, I still had nothing, zero, zilch as regards any creature information or why it was happening. And the lack of that tiny, but highly necessary, amount of background knowledge really ruins the whole watching experience. If I had known before watching that that was going to be the case, I would not have watched. I've not read the book so I am not aware if the lack of creature information etc is absent in the novel or whether its the directors decision; if it is both the writer director's decision then I can only say what a big let down. Imagine if you sat through the first ALIEN film, or the first Predator and neither of them showed you what it was doing the slaughtering...exactly, you would be well pissed off. I don't mind books and films that make you use your grey matter in overtime mode but, you have at least got to have something to work with, evidence/info etc. The 5 stars given are for the good acting, the cinematography...even though we have had a far superior similar scenario in the, 'A QUIET PLACE (2018)' and ' QUIET PLACE 2 (2020)' films. I enjoyed watching it but was left woefully wanting!",5 "I always heard a lot of buzz about 'Superbad', apparently one of the best teen comedies of the last few years. Yet, as pretty much every film in that genre, the plot is merely a bunch of teens obsessing over partying, alcohol and sex (no drugs this time around, thankfully). How could this be any different? I finally saw this film, and it was a somewhat pleasant surprise. The dialogue is the true highlight here: it is not forced, flowing easily and being funny without trying hard (Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are often hit-or-miss, and in here they succeed more often than not). It manages to be crude at times without upsetting, particularly in the cop scenes; however, some of the buddy dialogue between Jonah Hill and Michael Cera towards the end tends to get overly sappy and not funny at all. There is not too much buffoonery like in 'American Pie' or other teen comedies (thankfully); even when there is, it is rarely overdone and tends to be overshadowed by the witty comedic remarks that accompany it. The cast is mostly good. Having known the actors from their more recent films, I knew a bit what to expect. Michael Cera (whose acting capacity seems reduced to awkward teenagers, and not fun ones at that) wasn't good, but actually very irritating. Jonah Hill was surprisingly funny as a stereotypical tough-wannabee nerdy guy, and actually compensates for Cera (strange how Cera got all the buzz for 'Superbad', though considering how pretentious Hill ended up now him receiving it could have been worse). He also makes for some rather funny visual gags. Christopher Mintz-Plasse is the one true stand-out from the cast (making it more surprising how he is the one with the weakest post-'Superbad' career), and the whole police spoof (cops played by Seth Rogen and Bill Hader) was hilarious (even the visual gags where good); the best part of the film to me. Emma Stone is excellent too, one of the few who managed make it big while keeping her talent, while the other girls (Martha MacIsaac and Aviva) make the little screen time they have be very worthy. Easily one of the best teen comedies I've ever seen, it is good to see some of these actors before they made it big. The easy, laid-back and unforced dialogue by a mostly very funny cast is what makes this stand out.",7 Worst super hero movie I have ever seen. I can't believe this has a higher rating than Aquaman. Everything is so predictable. Gal Gadot is a terrible actor. well atleastshe is in this movie. Even the soundtrack was bad. I will never watch this movie again and I feel fooled by the 7.5 average vote on imdb. Movie was pathetic.,5 "For a show where something is always happening and going on, it's a bit of a slow yarn at the same time. Don't go to the bathroom without pressing the pulse button. Grab your snacks before you start your bingeing. If you do you'll probably miss something. And just when you think something's figured out, you'll hit that fork in the road to make a choice. For an old-time Lawrence fishburne fan, I thought he was losing his touch, as most actors do in aging years. But he definitely had it back for this. I know I'm watching this a little late been out for many years, but hurray for all the upkicks and pillars of support from the entertainment industry. Laurence fishburne has always been Atlas holding the world high above his head.",8 "Wow! I never thought I'd get to see anything like this. The only thing I might compare it to would be if ""The Desolation of Smaug"" could have lasted for eight hours! Even then, this is entirely different, better, and more right! Let's genuinely focus hope for the continuation of this series. I can't remember having been so entertained and on the edge of my seat in a Fantasy World where good battles evil, even when evil actually has a level of humanity and balance must be achieved, inclusively, as an absolute. If this series doesn't continue, mostly likey, I'll never get to see anything as good and like it again.",10 I liked this movie but i couldn't help but wonder what the point of the movie is. I hardly ever care about the point but it just bothered me. The plot is pretty hard to describe and I'm sure you probably already it by now but if you don't read it somewhere else. This is one of Jim Carrey's best films beside Man on the Moon. I haven't seen Kate Winslet too many films and i liked her here but she was better in Heavenly Creatures. Elijah Wood and Mark Ruffalo play lab assistants and Tom Wilkinson plays the doctor who says that the lab precedure is brain damage. Kirsten Dunst plays his assistant who has a crush on Wilkinson but Ruffalo is the one who likes her and Wood falls in love with Winslet.,7 "What a movie after such a long time! Rajkumar has given two brilliant movies this year: Hit and Monica O my darling. The best part of this movie is the cast itself. The whole cast on screen are full of charisma. Sikandar Kher, Huma Qureshi, Radhika Apte, wow!!! What brilliant actors. Not for a second this movie will make you feel bored. There are scenes that will shake you and also make you smile the very next second, so you'll have all the emotions throughout the movie. Sikander Kher is the perfect villain character, and I would love to see him in more movies. Rajkumar Rao is the best!!!! You get to see Radhika Apte and Huma in a very quirky avatar so it is also fun. Songs in the movies suit the retro mood where the movie is shot or the plot is leading. I would love to see more movies like this. It keeps you twisted till the end.",10 Its a good kids movie kind of Big (1988) meets Sorcerers apprentice (2010) with a kind of not so cool Deadpool character. Theirs even a keyboard in the toy store hint at big.,6 "1917 is overall a very generic war movie. The only redeeming quality is the ""all in one shot"" thing, which at times was able to build up tension and make for an interesting and unique shot composition. I would say that the first half of the movie uses it to its advantage while after a certain point of the movie everything went downhill, with lots of cheesy moments, plot conveniences, weird character choices and overall not being able to keep up the tension. But the second half at least tried hard with having some nice shots and sets. The movie also feels more like a typical action flick, instead of a proper portrayal of WW1. I mean it does a better job than ridiculous movies such as ""Hacksaw ridge"" or ""saving private ryan"" do with WW2, but it has this typical feeling of ""character making it out against all odds"" and if someone dies it must be an elaborate set piece, which feels just so unlike real WW1, where the horror was rather the unseen enemy, the mustard gas, the constant artillery shots, the rats keeping you awake at night. It doesn't have this realistic feeling of WW1 like ""All quiet on the western front"" or maybe ""Paths of Glory"" has. It also doesn't help that a year earlier the very nice documentary ""They shall not grow old"" came out which gives a by far better vision of WW1 than this movie could ever do. I am also not a fan of the idea of trying to make a movie in only 1 shot. I didn't like it in ""Birdman"" and I didn't like it in any movie I have seen it in since. There is a reason movies have cuts in it and its not only a technical one. A story normally needs things like: different sets, time in between scenes, scenes following each other with vastly different tones to build or reduce tension, etc. Ofc you could make a movie that still is enjoyable to watch even if it has only 1 shot, but is it difficult to achieve? Yes. A rather character driven story like ""Birdman"" only suffered from it and the idea of everything being one shot was not an artistic vision benefiting the movie, it was basically the gimmick that tried to sell tickets. The idea of one shot was utterly pointless and made the movie even more boring. ""1917"" however seems to be the best example of a movie that tried to do the ""one shot"" thing, since it actually achieved something with it. Like I said before it did a decent job of creating tension in the first half. The problem is 1917 would have been better if it had a few cuts in between some long shots, but it seems even more in this movie that the "" one shot"" gimmick was heavily used to promote the movie rather than being a much needed addition to the film. Oh and just to point it out, the advertisement of just being in one shot was also a lie because it cut to black half way through the movie. So in conclusion the movie has a pretty interesting opening sequence and later some great sets, but story wise its boils down to a generic war drama which cant keep up the tension all the way through to the end. It involves many cheesy moments and overall nothing really challenging or anything to wrap your head around. Its entertaining though, and at times very visually pleasing.",6 "I am not a fan of Sci-Fi, but this one movie is surprisingly awesome for me. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney gave this movie a nice touch as I just cannot imagine other actors in their places. Seeing Bullock in such a movie was new to me as she is always in comedies. However, she played her role very good, and I guess that is how true professionals show their talent by playing a role outside of their comfort zones. About Clooney, I can say that despite his role being so short he was also an important part of the movie as he and Bullock were so lovely with each other, and that made the movie more likable. A movie worth watching.",7 "One star for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's fresh and believable take on the rookie cop with street smarts, ideals and courage. One star for Anne Hathaway's purr-fect performance as the Catwoman. One star for an aging Michael Caine, in memory of the man who was a king. Beyond that, it's all a murky sea of meaningless explosions, sodden speeches, missed opportunities, and plot holes you could drive the Batmobile through. Some lowlights include . . . A super villain who mumbles so much he might just as well have a sock in his mouth. And speaking of laundry, why can't Bane afford an undershirt? A doctor who explains in clinical detail, with X-rays, exactly why Bruce Wayne can't fight anymore. Just so his fight scenes will feel even more fake than they already did. A pointless half hour in a phony-looking prison in some make believe foreign country where guys walk around all day clapping and chanting. Cool Hand Luke, this ain't. I really didn't care if Bruce Wayne climbed out of that stupid hole with a rope -- but then, the guards didn't seem to care much either. (""Climbin' out of here, boss!"" ""Yeah, Bruce, climb on out of there."") All I wanted was for Bruce to ""prove"" himself by eating fifty eggs, like in the Paul Newman classic. And at the end he could send the boys a postcard of him back in Gotham City, wearing a custom-made suit, with his arms around Miranda and Selena Kyle. And the card could just say, ""Boys, playing it cool -- Bruce."" A staggering total of 3000 cops trapped in a sewer for three months -- yet they all emerge in clean uniforms, in good health, ready to beat Bane's minions in a good old-fashioned street brawl. And even that was more exciting than watching Bane and Batman go one-on-one. This movie could have been twice as good and half as long, with one tenth of the money spent. All it takes is imagination, courage, and respect for the audience.",3 "Watched the new first 7 episodes of series 4. Wow, especially the episode Dear Billy, the gunfight scene and Max's scene at the graveyard are gripping and so well made. The sound track is spot on. Can't wait until July 1st.",9 "Seen it one hundred times before. Russia bad, USA good, bang bang, the end. Uninteresting story line filled with average performances and Russian accents that swing between convincing and awful every time they open their mouths. I don't know why this has become one of those ""you gotta see it"" movies, I've had more entertaining and challenged bowel movements.",3 "Director Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976) is a famous, if somewhat infamous, film. On the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest films of all time, Taxi Driver is listed at number 47, above The Third Man (1949), number 57; The Silence Of The Lambs (1991), number 65; and even Scorsese's much better film Goodfellas (1990), number 94. Leonard Maltin (in Leonard Maltin's 2002 Movie and Video Guide) gives the film a less than perfect review. Maltin writes, `To some, Scorsese and writer Paul Schrader's perception of hell-as a crazed taxi driver's vision of N. Y. C.-was brilliant. To us, this gory, cold-blooded story of sick man's lurid descent into violence is ugly and unredeeming' (p. 1362). Is Taxi Driver a great film or a very bad one? The film concerns Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), an ex-Marine, and his problems in reintegrating himself into a post-Vietnam American society. Travis suffers periodically from severe migraines that may be a result of his war experiences (or his neuroses, fears, or perverse imagination-we never find out). His migraines operate on a symbolic level as well. Since Travis is in great physical condition, his sickness must be emotional or spiritual. In fact, the film implies that Travis's sickness is twofold: barely suppressed rage plus a profound despair-that sickness unto death. (And what is the source of his despair? That too, we never learn.) We know Travis is socially challenged; we know this because Travis takes Betsy, the girl whom he idolizes (Sybill Shepherd), to a porno film on their very first date. She is supposedly a high-class, sensitive young woman whom he desperately wants to impress. Has he no common sense? Was he raised by monkeys? It is as if there is something important lacking in him-something vital and alive that has become numbed by the war (which he never discusses or speaks about-a forbidden topic). Oh, yes, he will admit he was in the Marines, but he goes no further. He can connect with no one. He is a product of a dysfunctional society-a new antihero, a rebel without a cause, but without the charisma of the Great Dean. The problem with the film is simply that Travis doesn't care who is the recipient of his deadly anger, his repressed violence and savagery. It's all the same to him-a presidential candidate or some low-life gangster. (Some film reviewers apparently miss or overlook the fact that Travis first means to kill Senator Charles Palantine [Leonard Harris], the politician whom Betsy works for. Only after being thwarted in this unmotivated attempt, does he decide to whack the mobsters who menace Iris Steensma (Jodie Foster), the pint-size prostitute.) Ultimately, the film, despite its great power and marvelous acting, is a cold-blooded work of art. As in the Beatles's Eleanor Rigby, Scorsese walks from the grave, the death-in-life of an urban cesspool, and no one is saved. There is no hope, no vision, and no teleology that results from all of the frenetic activity. There is no appeal to basic humanity or to religious or moral or ethical values or beliefs. Perhaps the film's claim to greatness is fatally marred. That the flaw is in humanity itself is no great consolation.",6 Hemsworth's worst movie considering the plot 👎 The action is superb though,3 "And that's about it. It's like a bad cliche of the classic movie of Clue which was great. It's watchable, acting is somewhat decent but other then that it's forgettable.",5 "It is an ok show, but lets face it it is not the best. I feel like its the '13 reasons why' level. Interesting plot, some scenes were pretty intense, loved the ending (well hated it cause it makes me want to see whats next). The series start to be good-ish after maybe 4th episode. Before that everybody i talked to about this show hated the characters. They are annoying and silly and act like spoiled brats who don't care about the consequences. The problem is - it only has 8 episodes. So how good can it be if only 4 out of them are watchable? I feel like its a bit overrated. It suddenly became a craze overnight. Would i watch it again? Not a chance. Would i rate it higher than Stranger things, AHS or other shows i watch? Absolutely not. Would i recommend it to anyone? - Probably not If went back in time would i decide to watch it? - I would definitely watch it. Am i going to watch the 2nd season if it comes out? - Hell yes. Anyway, if i could rate first half of the season id give it maybe 3 stars for the rest maybe 8 at most. How ever the cast was wonderful. Alyssa and James did a terrific job i think and if i was to give rating for the cast alone id probably give around 9. // Ps. Alyssas father is a total DILF though so for him id give 15 stars alone if he didnt end up as a total douche and a careless prick.",7 "This series rocks you to the core. Very, very scary and fighting a very old fashioned and dangerous bureaucracy all the way.",9 This is something worth to watch. Kudos to Ludo team. Take love.,10 "6/10 - despite some questionable and retrogressive dialogue, this was a fun action-mystery-comedy with some great actors and actresses (Samuel L. Jackson, Regina Hall, Jessie T. Usher, and Alexandra Shipp especially)",6 "When I saw the trailers, I was aware this would be a special film to watch. But I did think it would be a jingoistic dramatisation of events and maybe a good one time watch. A couple of minutes into the movie and it glues you to your seat. Alpha vibes stream through making you feel the transformation of our Nation from Kadi Ninda criers to Dushman ke ghar mein ghuskey maarengey. A movie that leaves the citizens watching it, feel the price as well as pride of our soldiers. A movie that touches so many chords that you feel one with the background music as it streams every bullet that destroys the enemy. A movie par excellence. I've tirelessly watched Border, Munich, Raid on Entebbe repeatedly. Uri is a movie that I'll be watching again and again. A Class apart. A Josh apart.",10 "Its a OK movie, decent plot, decent casting. Movie has a childish tone. Good movie to take your kids to but average to watch it yourself.",5 "I expected more of this show, honestly there was too much talking and the storyline was a bit dumb.",7 "Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stockbroker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government. Wow. If you like cartoons with thinly drawn characters and absurdly unbelievable plot lines that purport to be based on fact maybe you'll like this film. DiCaprio hit the wall and looks over the hill. Mcconaughy wears a big fluffy wig and delivers is lines like Gary Busy. Jonah Hill wears buck teeth. Seriously. The entire movie is like a Warner Bros cartoon. Directed like goodfellas or casino but without an interesting or compelling believable story to hold on. And it's three boring hours.",3 So light hearted and fun to watch. Emotions of characters are so true and relatable even though the story is about supernatural powers. Very good show. Can't wait any longer for season two,8 "I always hate shows/movies produced by the streaming companies. This is Hulu's first show that I've ever wanted to watch. I'm only 2 episodes in. So far it's pretty interesting. Steve Martin Short are good, but Selena Gomez has been a drawback for sure. Maybe it's supposed to be her character, but it's almost like she doesn't even want to be there. How does she like 12 and like a grandma at the same time. I'm a couple of years older than her, but she's going to be older than me pretty soon. I have hopes for this show. I'm liking it so far, which, as I said before is the first time I've ever enjoyed a show produced by a streaming company.",3 "This movie was so unexpected. Completely opposite to what I thought it would be. The best movie I've seen in a long time. There were moments it had me laughing and moments in tears. It gently pushed me into self reflection and introspection which I never realised I needed to do for the longest of time. The movie dealt with so many issues, such as societal expectancies, emotional depence, perfectionism, stress, anxiety.. It brought forward self awareness, emotional intelligence, and so many insights into ones self. This movie is a must see for all women and men who are open to growth and developing their mindsets. As a millenial this movie resonated on another level, it reminded me of the self I was at a younger age, before falling into societal norms. Will definitely watch it again and again.",10 "So I've been pretty uninterested in this years ""Wizarding World"" film, it looked fine and it sounded like an interesting premise. The problem of this movie is that it has interesting moments but can't focus on what could have made it a potentially great prequel to the franchise by filling it with too many characters and trying to set up the next movie. I'm not saying you shouldn't go see this movie, it's fine but very boring. It's basically just your typical blockbuster sequel. Lack of interesting characters (except for an excellent version of Dumbledore played by Jude Law), a plot so thin but bloated and a script that jolts the viewer from scene to scene without any sort of transition. There's nothing that I could get into in the movie. I tried, I really did. It's a shame that it's very well done on a technical level because it's very well acted, directed and shot. There's some great acting in here and character moments but the actual story seems so pointless and disjointed that I just couldn't care about it. Something like this should like should have been a story between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, put the ministry in there, maybe have Newt help him a bit but because of all the characters from the last movie, the movie goes nowhere. It's a blockbuster franchise that no longer feels magical and something calling itself, ""The Wizarding World,"" shouldn't feel this way.",5 "Alfred Molina steals the show in every shot! Great story, great build up, great villian! GREAT directing",10 "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is messy, yet decent. Although it's weakened by distracting storylines, the core premise of capturing beasts is enjoyable. Fittingly, Redmayne is more comfortable around animals than humans, which is heartfelt and vulnerable. Plus, Fogler and Sudol are lovable outsiders of their own. Unfortunately, whenever Fantastic Beasts visits plotlines outside these main protagonists, the film suffers. Grindelwald, politics, and Ezra Miller just aren't as fun. Also, those ancillary threads don't gel with the small adventures of creature hunting. Clearly, Fantastic Beasts had duel intentions, and because of that, the film is diluted. Meanwhile, the technicals of Fantastic Beasts are solid. Just the editing is questionable due to its stumbling momentum. Besides that, however, the craft is proficient. The cinematography uses engaging movement, the sound is complex, and the effects are comprehensive. Furthermore, the music incorporates the iconic Potterverse tune and some era-appropriate melodies. Yet, it's the production design that stands out for cohesively blending fantasy with period piece. Both elements synergize to create immersion. Overall, Fantastic Beasts is a fun movie that's held back by superfluous narratives. It's satisfactory, but would've been better as its own thing.

It's a bad remake but not that bad if you don't compare it to the source material. I have the same complaints as everyone else though. The females that have the lead roles in this are a joke and are ""in charge"". If this mom Maureen was actually in charge of this families survival in real life they'd all be dead in episode one. It's so frustrating to watch a soccer mom pretend to be an alpha when she clearly isn't. Then you have Dr. Smith...another mentally challenged woman. I don't even know if she's supposed to be a villain but everything she does contradicts itself, she doesnt have one redeeming quality, obnoxious actor, TERRIBLE, I've wanted her dead since episode one.",4 "The World is believable. The atmosphere is pretty solid. Costumes are well made even if there is sometimes some Cosplay in the air. The music is copy-paste from other epic shows. The photography/image has a greyish ugly filter. For what? To create that ""dark"" vibe? The actors are all from ASOS and simply too boring or flat. Cavill is probably in one of his best roles but still with that mono exrepssion. Combats are good but the addition of post production blood is cheap. The story is okay and the show does a good job delivering it. But sometimes you get lost because of non-sense and useless scenes.",6 "I see a lot of high numbers and wonder if we're watching the same thing. I've seen all of Season 1 and the two episodes of Season 2, and it's utter gibberish to me. Now I'll confess to having no knowledge of the background in the printed comics - if there is one - but all the chatter about timelines and the like, is just that - chatter. The only saving grace is Tom Hiddleston as Loki. It's a very campy performance but that's who this character has always been. He's capable of serious roles of course - take ""The Night Manager"" for example - but here he gets to ham it up. As for the rest? Meh. Much ado about very little.",4 Perfectly mediocre. Didn't hate it. Didn't love it. Watch it if you've already seen everything else.,6 "I came here just to make a statement, because sometimes you make a great discovery, and that is so pleasing! Henry Cavill, never saw him as the big deal, but I must say, now my eyes are wide open and he really nailed this! It is so great to see actors rise. Fx Vince Vaughn in Brawl in Cell Block 99. Watch this!",9 "There's nothing to complain. This masterpiece is really that good in every way. I haven't had an ordinary childhood. At certain point, it was pretty hard to deal with. But by watching this show, I've taught myself that this world is so vast that our lives are not enough to see all those miracles and greatness of life and our time is not enough to feel those incredible feelings one can feel. This show portrayed those emotions very well in each episode in different ways. The feelings of love, friendship, anger, hatred, sorrow, agony, pain, joy..... It has included both dreadfulness and bliss of life and rich in soil that would enlighten your soul.",10 "Even whilst watching it, I felt disappointed: slow, wordy, sloppy storyline. Even the final battle was excessive to the point of tedious: too much fast cutting and too many unnecessary characters. Despite enjoying and appreciating most of the Marvel films, I felt this was a letdown.",4 "The reviews that took me to watch this film praised it as funny and smart. The first half was very much this. But the film industry are beholden to intense, ultra-fast, extreme, loud, dark violence. It swamped the 2nd half and was totally at odds with the nature of the first half. That web sites reviewing this barely mention the violence presumably indicates a kind of conditioning. Gratuitous violence that adds nothing to the story is simply expected. How many times must good throw evil around or vice versa? Dozens in this film. A fun 90 minute film was bloated to 120 minutes entirely unnecessarily.",5 "Season One: 8/10 Themes: Paranormal, Mystery, Romance, Crime Solving, Comedy, Outcasts, Anti-Social Behaviour, Monsters, Dark, Serial Killer, Family, Love Triangle, Friendship, Gothic & High School. Review: This was surprisingly fun with a hint of darkness. The main character has an interesting and macabre personality, which results in an engaging mix of strange things she does and says. Seeing her interact with other people is often humorous, and a lot of her relationships managed to capture my interest. The plot was also pretty well-developed, albeit slightly repetitive. Overall, I thought this was a good show with a nice vibe and some decent acting (especially the main actress portrayed her role well). Top five characters: 1) Wednesday Addams, 2) Thing, 3) Xavier Thorpe, 4) Enid Sinclair and 5) Larissa Weems.",8 "This show is deeply sexist and offensive and I'm going to explain why. (Based on the first 4 eps) The key points; The character of Connell is an amalgamation of male types. Not real. He's a fantasy. Absent fathers. Present mothers. Abusive fathers. Connell's saintly mother. All the males are either idiots, macho or aggressive. Mostly all three. Marianne is a victim. She's flawless. Supposedly obnoxious but always sympathetically so. 50% of the first two episodes is extreme closeups of her face. The University is a hotbed of far-left hate and condescension all under the proviso of progressiveness. Ah the irony. Students again talking about their mothers. Again, absent/non-existent fathers. 'You emasculated him Mary Ann. He's going to be your enemy for life'. That sums up the sexism evident in Ep 4. Let's go back. Connell is not a real person. He's the quiet, sensitive, well read type. Ie the nice guy. Yet he's also its polar opposite. The rugged, sports loving jock. This is a female fantasy. It's possible, but extremely rare for the same types to be in one person. The jocks do attract the girls. They say 80% of females are attracted to the same 20% of males. And guys know what I mean when I say that nice guys finish last. Women do go for these macho types then wonder why he's not sensitive to her feelings. Then all men are tainted with the same uncaring, selfish, insensitive brush. The nice guys are out there. Most guys are. But asking an alpha male jock to respect you is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. It ain't gunna fit. Notice how those alpha thugs are never without a girlfriend? This incorrect and sexist philosophy permeates this entire show. Not just in the lead character, but in ALL the males depicted. All of Connell's friends are this way. Marianne's brother is this way. Talk about one dimensional characterization. When we get into college mode, again, most males are arrogant and insensitive. No one apparently has fathers in this show. We see Rachel's briefly but the rest are not mentioned. They simply do not exist. Except when Marianne says how her father was abusive. How very trite. The lack of fathers alone demonstrates how sexist this show is. Connell's mother is some sort of saint. Trying to teach her son about female feelings. This is part of what this show is really about. Teaching young males how to act. Call it a feminist guidebook if you will. If you don't act a certain way, you won't get the girl. But of course, the males can't help being themselves, which is being insensitive, arrogant A-holes. These young men are caricatures. What a dour view the (female) writers have of men. Was the main writer the poor little beautiful rich girl, who does nothing wrong but is only to be admired and pitied? Did she go for the jock in school only to discover he wasn't sensitive enough? Did he treat her like crap, therefore all males are rubbish? One can only guess but that's certainly at the heart of this story. It pretends to represent Connell's point of view but don't be fooled. This is a 100% female (feminist) point of view. He's the example the writers are going to use of how to undo those 'terrible male traits'. Even the girls, the students, are literally all angels (aside from Rachel). Intelligent, stylish and of the 'right' disposition. The level of arrogance and condescension displayed by the girls in Episode Four is abhorrent. The extremist attitudes again begin to surface in other ways, when the story shifts to college. Immediately we are told of a 'Nazi' coming for a debate. Anyone the far-left disagrees with must be a Nazi. An offensive term when you think of WW2. And yes, the term is overused. It is even suggested that 'these people' not have freedom of speech. This is the whole Modus Operandi of the Far Left. People are unable to even share their views without being branded. They want to 'cancel' those who have different views. They assume of course, that other views must mean they are sexist and racist. Mary Ann says about her mother, 'We're not close. She's conservative.' Ah good reason to dislike your mother. Another one. Connell says, 'Is there a value in giving a Nazi a platform?' The assumption that others must be Nazis, is staggeringly ignorant. Before he's even aware what the debate is about. They Far Left mean well but they are only creating more hate, division and censorship based on literally nothing at all, most of the time. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Where are all these supposed Nazis? The far right are tiny in number and literally voiceless. It's normal, decent people who are being branded by these self-appointed societal judges. Shouldn't be surprised really, given that this is a BBC production. Even Connell picks up a feminist book in Marianne's library. 'Ah, I've read this one.' Please. A fantasy. It's very obvious this show is written by a feminist. This show's slant is often subtle. It's slow and has its tender moments. The music is especially good. It's such a shame as the acting is very good, especially the leads. They're charismatic and they have chemistry. The direction is stylish and fresh. But its all fluff for what the writers want to get across. The Guidebook for Boys. And a vitriolic swipe along the way. Normal People is dressed up as a sweet, everyday tale of the awkwardness of young love but make no mistake, this is anything but Normal People. This is a toxic brew. An anti male tirade full of narrow mindedness, ignorance and hate. All part of the modern McCarthyism that is Wokeness. The few persecuting the majority because they know what's best for society. Guess what? There were no communists then either. Just decent folk, misrepresented, demonized and cancelled. History repeating.",5 The movie is inconsistent from the beginning till the end. Not worth 2 hours to watch it.,1 "Watch it based on IMBD rating...Huge disappointment . The story is weakly narrated. The acting is poor...if there is a second season, do not wait for me",1 "Before watching the fourth and final season of this show I have to catch up and I have just finished the second season of 13 Reasons Why and here is my review for it. The premise of the season sees the trial between the school and the Bakers begin while Clay attempts to prove that Bryce is a rapist. Main Character Dylan Minette is back as Clay Jensen this season and I have to be honest I didn't like his performance or character as much as the previous season. He still does a fine job and seeing him try and go after Bryce makes it really easy to root for him which you do, it's just certain ways he tries to go about it. He makes other people who could be seen as good guys feel uncomfortable and he even acts out which makes him much less likeable. Throughout the first season he was the character we followed, but he has less screen time this season as it becomes more of an ensemble cast and I think that maybe hurt the character as some of the time we see him he is just being aggressive to other characters for bizarre reasons. Supporting Characters For me probably the best supporting characters this season was Brandon Flyyn as Justin Foley, he goes on a real redemption arc and even though he mistakes mistakes, especially in the finale I felt myself drawn to his character and wanting to see him succeed. I also thought Alisha Boe who plays Jessica was a character that was easy to root for, after what she goes through in the first season you see her having to try and deal with it and it is really a tragic watch for sure. Also credit to Justin Prentice who plays Bryce as I swear I haven't hated a character this much for years, he is truly despisable and the actor does a great job in making you love to hate him. Also the actors for Mr Porter, Zach & Mrs Baker all do really great jobs this season and give you easy reasons to care and adds depth to the show. But there were also some performances that I didn't care for, Alex survived his attempted suicide from the finale of the first season and I thought his character wasn't particularly well written this season and I didn't really care that much about him. Tyler was a strange character in the first season and honestly his arc isn't interesting for most of this season but it was the one interesting plotline in the finale so there was that. Now onto Hannah, the show finds a way to bring Katherine Langford back and for me it felt forced and it felt weird, her interactions with Clay didn't really work for me and actually made her come across as more annoying. Story I love a Court Drama show and the story this season thrives when it focuses on these scene as it is really intense and puts the characters under the spotlight builds the tension. Some of the character arcs such as Justin and Jessica that makes them more interesting and likeable people then they were in the previous season. But there are some real issues, there is just so much going on that it feels very disjointed, also some of the character stories aren't interesting and don't really do anything for their characters. Also there are some things revealed here that pretty much goes against what we learned in the first season which is an issue. Plus the finale is also disjointed, it feels like the story is over after 30 mins and the second half just didn't do enough for me. Script The script has some decent drama in it, there are some really sad moments and moments that are gutwrenching for sure. But not all of it hits and it's tough for a show so dark it feels like these teenagers aren't funny at all which I don't buy especially amongst the popular kids as that is just not realistic. Style The style has a really dramatic tone to it and it works, especially as I mentioned in the courtroom scenes which take up the majority of the season. But the pacing doesn't quite work for me, it just feels like a lot of episodes and the vast amount of stories means few of them are given the time and depth that they deserve. Overall Overall, for me this is a much weaker season of this show. It doesn't have the intrigue and interest that the first season had and the mixed bag of stories really add to a mixed bag of a second season. Rating - 5/10.",5 "A mass epidemic strikes Earth which makes people go crazy and commit suicide, but only IF they are not blindfolded and SEE the mysterious phenomena. A group of Californians find succor in an abode with covered windows. One woman (Sandra Bullock) and two children try to make it down a remote river to find sanctuary, blindfolded. Trevante Rhodes and John Malkovich costar. ""Bird Box"" (2018) is a post-apocalyptic survival adventure/horror with an original concept and elements of flicks like ""The Book of Eli"" (2010), ""The Mist"" (2007), ""Carriers"" (2009) and ""Stake Land"" (2010). The reason for the apocalypse is what makes ""Bird Box"" standout and, thankfully, there are no zombies, yet it's the least of these for a couple of reasons. For one, I didn't find the dramatic dynamics of the group all that captivating, but it was okay. If you're a fan of Bullock you'll probably like this movie more than me. I appreciated Rosa Salazar as Lucy, but her role isn't that significant. Meanwhile Rhodes and Malkovich are effective. The concept behind the mass crisis is where the movie fails. It's sort of explained and yet it isn't. There are too many inconsistencies and what appears to be plot holes. It's basically a bunch of malarkey and reflects lazy writing. People on message boards debate back-and-forth ad nauseam, but the movie's too nonsensical and meh to make it worth the effort. The film runs 2 hours and 4 minutes and was shot in Southern Cal (Monrovia, La Puente, Santa Clarita, Smith River, Scripps College and Los Angeles). GRACE: C",5 Great acting Teresa Palmer and I love Matthew Goode in anything he does. the photography in Venice a spectacular. this is very well done & very well acted. I love it!!! I'm looking forward to season 2 please send it as soon as possible.,10 "I am writing this from my home screen in Istanbul. This film is yet to come to our cinemas here. I couldn't wait to watch this masterpiece from a digital copy. Sorry producers. I now know why Spielberg so much liked late Truffaut! And his films and his character. There was a deep connection between the two. For Truffaut it was his first film, for Spielberg (so far) his last. My god, just how personal this story is! This was an enigma for me before I watched The Fabelmans; the enigma why the American respected his French counterpart so much. Just watch Close Encounters and you will see what I am talking about. Sorry reader, this is between me and Mr. Spielberg as it was between me and Mr. Truffaut, when I first watched his 400 Blows when I was 12, exactly the same age as the main character. I can now see his later films like Private Ryan, Jaws, E. T., Close Encounters etc., & how deep they are rooted in his youth memory. I like this film to the tune of 10/10. Maybe in order to enjoy this film you must also have an uncle Boris, like I had. Maybe you must have such close and weird family... whatever. I hope you too can see the beauty in this magnum opus. Just pass the big name and watch this as the first movie of a 26 year old American boy.",10 "Big flashy sets, great costumes, decent story, but the ending I felt not only fell flat but is a tad irresponsible in today's climate. I really enjoyed Knives Out and as such was really looking forward to this film, especially when I heard some of the talent that was to be in the film. It started slow...had a decent story or mystery, but then the tantrum like conclusion that includes the destruction of a priceless work of art left me sad and a little bit angry, especially when we actually have ""activists"" who are actively defacing priceless works of art to ""draw attention to global warming"". Unfortunately, I think the ending of this film was positive affirmation for people to destroy things as long as they get what they want...which will ultimately lead to others being punished for the few, like the general public not being able to see these priceless pieces of artwork. There was a lot of humor around our egomaniacal billionaire (ala Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, etc.) Miles Bron (Edward Norton) who invites his close personal friends to his crazy private island for the weekend via an elaborate puzzle box. The players are fashionista Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson), influencer Duke Cody and his girlfriend Whiskey, mom turned politician Claire Debella (Katheryn Hahn), techy-Scientist Lionel, and former partner who he screwed over...Andi Brand. They are all invited to the island for a friend or inner circle weekend and to solve a murder mystery...only there is one unexpected guest, actual famous detective Benoit Blanc...who humorously solves the fake murder very quickly. But each of our players actually has a motive for wanting their host dead...and when real people start dying that is when our sleuth goes in to action, or is it? There is a great reveal in the middle of this film that may be one of my favorite bits about the movie and prove to me that there is a really good story here. The problem is the tantrum-like ending really took away the enjoyment that I had. Watch, but be forewarned that you should set your expectations lower than Knives Out. I am really hoping there will be another with some tightening of the storyline and a well thought out ending. Favorite quote: ""It's a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thought for speaking the truth.""-Benoit Blanc.",7 "A day after watching this movie the first thing that comes to mind thinking of it is that those directors must hate people. The movie is a torture for the viewer with its unidentifiable main character that likes to owe everyone money and bets it all hoping to make more just to find out that others do not like this. He is a chaos addicted erratic unlikeable idiot. The rest of the cast is not much of a difference, basically every character is displayed as mean and angry. This results in an unsatisfying annoying viewing experience that leaves you in a state of having wasted two hours with only a stressful bleak aftertaste. A movie I would definitely not watch again nor recommend to anyone. Is this something the directors would like to hear i wonder?",4 "Kaithi is the story of a Terrible Night of coincidences which led to a battle between Police and Drug Cartel and an ex-convict Dilli got stuck between them. A mediocre script turned into an action packed thriller. The entire story focuses on just one night. When massive consignment of drugs gets siezed by Inspector Bejoy,Anbu & his drug cartel begins a war against police department in order to regain their consignment. Dilli an ex-convict is released after 10 years & was misunderstood as a criminal by a police officer,gets cuffed and later on as the clock moves forward coincidently gets stuck in a war between drug cartel & police department. Now he is assigned by Inspector Bejoy to rescue police officers and must take them to hospital with the help of a truck. On the other hand an another part of story also goes on simultaneously at comissioner office where a new constable & 5 college students gets stuck coincidently. The film has Karthi as Dilli an ex-convict eager to meet his daughter almost after 10 years,Narain as inspector Bejoy was nicely portrayed & Arjun Das as Anbu ,the Drug Cartel leader was a great choice. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has made a fine action thriller with an emotional subplot. The cinematography is kept dark as entire movie is set in the night. Aniruddh has composed a solid & hard rock background score which makes action scenes more entertaining. Combination of Hollywood style background with a Desi character was a great creative idea. Its background score is it's plus point. Overall movie is fine & serves as a mediocre dum biryani (Lokesh Fan will understand)",7 A very gruesome series with a good balance between comedy and hard hitting drama. Great character development aswell.,9 "Marvel delivers the goods yet again; yes I know this is supposed to be brainless entertainment designed for repeated adrenaline rushes only, but besides a few minor clichés, there is actually a storyline amidst the breathtaking actions. And everyone (especially the Black Widow) is cool beyond words. The chief protagonist was not only kindness, justice and righteousness in form of a man with the perfect physique, in this movie he was depicted to be a thoughtful soul who cherished his past acquaintances and fond memories - yet he was able to adapt to the changing times and rose to the occasion as a natural leader when disasters struck. He was able to inspire his comrades and foster a solid team spirit. To put it simply, he did just what was expected of Captain America.",8 "I had no knowledge of the Witcher franchises; books, video games or about this show when I started watching this series. I write this review for viewers like me. First episode was very frustrating for someone like me who didn't know anything about ""The Witcher"" beforehand. I guess because of its medieval theme, the word choices here were not easy to digest, it's not like our modern daily conversation although they sometimes use F-word (there was one scene which was quite funny when the Witcher spit the word at the princess of Cintra's wedding). For novice viewers, if you don't focus, you can easily miss basic information. You get confused with character names and they have nicknames of some sort as well. You don't know who's going to be the recurring characters and also their relationship to each other. In addition to those proper nouns thrown in your face, there are names of each regions, monsters etc. At first, I couldn't tell if the characters are talking about a country or someone. For example, Striga is a monster, not a person's name. For avid fans, this must be a very much primary knowledge, but not to me. You realize these things as stories moving forward. This show will tests your memory, you need to match faces and names very well, and need to remember the nouns accompanying characters' stories, otherwise you'll be left behind. It's all because this show doesn't explain any of the characters' background at all, you are thrown into the story from the very beginning. I am normally pretty good at comprehending stories with said type of approach, but at the same time I don't watch GoT kind of show either so I had a bit of a hard time with the first few episodes. The other reason why it was hard to follow in the beginning is the timelines. In my opinion, there are three main characters, the Witcher: Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer the mage, the princess Cirilla. This show doesn't explain the order of their timelines. You just assume all the events are happening at the same time, but sooner or later you'll notice the story seems to be rewinding, showing the events that occurred in the past. It's a bit confusing, but once you figure it out, you're on track. I will tell you though, eventually your patience pays off. You start seeing same faces, understands who's from where and who's on who's (what country's) side. In the end, all the storylines meet in one place. I still don't know what part of this show really kept my attention, but I watched it through till the end. I was frustrated and couldn't believe the high ratings in the early episodes. At the same time, I couldn't stop watching because I wanted to witness the characters fate. All in all, I have to say I was entertained. Additional note; I felt there is too much nudity to my taste, it was distracting and made me feel uncomfortable. If they try to gain viewers attention by it, I think it's unnecessary. This show has enough charm to hold audience's interest. 7/10 hoping it's going to be less confusing in next season.",7 "Because I was complelled to fast forward a lot of this tedious film as I was bored out of my mind. I still wasted over an hour. The characters we met were one-dimensional, as was the dialogue. We had no interest in any of them because they were not developed. The unidentified threat was neither scarey nor terrifying, but only slightly more believable that the absurd acts of the blindfolded characters in the film. As others have done, I am awarding one star for the birds in the film, who were the most realistic things in it. ( because 0 stars cannot be awarded). This film was a complete load of hogwash. You can do much better things with your life than watch drivel like this.",1 "I'm writing this review in the hope that you read it before you see this film, and that you do NOT see this film. As such, I won't spoil the plot for you. I am not a comic book fan, so I had no expectations going into this movie, except what was promised by the trailers, and of course the previous Iron Man movies. I enjoy good movies of any genre equally, so I was really not prejudiced in any way. I thought the movie was pretty terrible, and very underwhelming and disappointing overall. Let's start with the good. Acting. Robert Downey Jr. is excellent as always. Sir Ben Kingsley and Guy Pearce are both predictably solid as well. The rest of the cast does not stand out, but overall the acting was a high point of the movie. That's it. The acting (particularly RDJ) was the redeeming feature of the film. It's for that, and the good production value, that I rated this a 4/10. Now, onto the bad. The plot. It's convoluted, uninspired, and just plain boring. The movie is not about Iron Man being awesome, it's about the drama in Tony Stark's life as he tries to get over his near-death experience in The Avengers. The film plays out like a drama, with a bunch of weak sub- plots pulling at it from all directions. It's predictable at every step of the way, and it never really gets anywhere. The dialogue. This movie strives hard to be funny. Tony Stark in particular is throwing one liners left and right throughout the movie. It works a few times, but more often than not it just falls flat. In any case, you've got a lot clichés again, especially when it comes to how Tony's inner struggle unfolds. Weak and very boring. The action. There is little more action in this movie than there is in the trailer. In fact, I'd say the trailer makes the action look a lot better than it does in the movie itself. The action scenes themselves are OK, but very few for an ""action"" movie. The trailers are selling this as a dark, almost Nolanesque look at Iron Man, but it's not that at all. It's just a pitiful mess that doesn't know what it wants to be. There's very little Iron Man in this movie. Whenever Tony gets into a suit, it breaks down or malfunctions right away, and it suddenly feels like his tech is being manufactured on a boat somewhere. It's also worth noting that whereas Iron Man suit(s) were few and unique, in this movie he goes through perhaps 15 of them, making them feel more akin to pairs of sneakers. To wrap this up, I would say that if you found what the trailers are presenting to be interesting, you will probably be disappointed. If you liked Iron Man 1, you will be disappointed. If you enjoy action, you will be disappointed. This overly long movie will present you with seemingly hours of exposition. What's worse is that it's so predictable, that you feel like you've seen it all before even after the first few frames. Given another chance, I would never go to see this in the cinema again. It's just not worth the money.",4 Please don't waste ur time on this long boring movie nothing special at all just a long movie probably memorial of his last movie sucks to be that boring when u have all these actors please listen and dont watch,5 "This movie could have been awesome. This movie could have redeemed Spider-Man 3. This movie could have been so many things, but it wasn't. It was exactly what I thought it would be. Ever since the first trailer I knew this movie didn't have it. After finally watching it and realizing how much of the origin story was changed, I Just thought oh well and say all the way through it. The movie felt rushed. Weak character development and story. Thankfully we won't be seeing anything more as the movie not only bombed at the theaters but afterwards as well. One thing could have saved this movie and it wasn't there. All they had to do is go with the story of Eddie Brock in love with J. Jonah Jamison's daughter and had J. K. Simmons reprise his role. But they dropped the ball on that and made up a whole new story for Brock that just didn't resonate with Spider-Man fans. Please don't try again. Ask the Fantastic Four franchise how that worked out.",4 "I was pleasantly surprised when I started watching this superhero series. After a disappointing big screen version done back in the early 2000's, I wondered how the quality of a series could be. It is great! The acting, characters, & writing all work extremely well. The only thing that keeps me from giving it a perfect 10 is the fact that it seems every fight he has with enemies is a struggle. The fight scenes are done well, but seems that all the enemies are trained to almost his level. I think that could be a little different as sometimes you want to see the hero take a normal bad guy and make quick work of them. But all in all, I loved this series. Way better than another from the CW that I am following. I am already waiting for season 2. Should be great!!!",9 "I grew up only seeing ATLA on television when I was a kid-but not fully, just bits of pieces-so even though I hadn't had the chance to watch it as a whole, it's literally still part of my childhood. That's why I made a promise to myself that one day I'd have to watch all of it, and that moment finally came true today. Also, each episode, for me, is something to treasure-not a single storyline or character is wasted-they've been handled beautifully and were executed in a great manner. But, above all, the animations and dialogues are no doubt the highlight of the entire series. I am just so in love with it-one hundred and one percent. I will not hesitate to see this again anytime soon.",10 "This is as I accepted, marvel you are damn next level. I hope next 5 episodes will be as like 1st one",8 "Nothing in this film was believable to me. It felt like a parody. In a world where people think Apollo 11 was fake, a guy randomly flies to another galaxy and walks other planets like it's no big deal, after zero training and literally five minutes after having discovered he would do that, leaving his two underage kids behind. Suddenly, they mix space travel with time travel that modifies the past. Because, obviously, this is realistic. I don't even know how to put in words how much the ""a few minutes here means 23 years back on Earth"" was ridiculous. The overall unconvincing and unbelievable feeling is enhanced by the surprisingly very poor CGI / 3D. Also, the main character's actor doesn't know to articulate and it's deeply annoying. The only two positive things I have to say: there were two or three really gripping moments, and the music is an incredible masterpiece. But overall, yes, this film felt so deeply uncovincing. Nothing felt real.",3 "This was yet another miss by DC. The writing was too juvenile and slow throughout the entire movie. My wife said this was obviously for kids, but given how the few kids there were running around I'm pretty sure they were as bored as I was.",3 "Should have been enjoyable but someone made some rather terrible sound mixing errors. I saw the movie in 2 theatres in 2 separate countries and then on dvd and on television the music completely stifled verbal conversation by actors. Also, whilst Mathew Mcconnaughy is a great actor, his unintelligible southern drawl completely ruined the movie. Some of the ""incidents"" in the movie goes completely against the character. For example, when matt damons character tries to kill cooper on the ice, when cooper has the advantage on top of damon , damon is bashing helmets with him, cooper is asking not to do that its dangerous to both of them, seriously?????",5 "Been waiting for season 2 for some time with anticipation, yet they destroyed it. The first season was far from excellent but it was easy watch with some great visuals. However season 2 just insults the viewers intelligence and generally annoys you. If your reading this half way through watching season 1, finish there. I implore you to not watch season 2.",3 "This movie just raised the level of Bollywood. A perfect masterclass of movie. Great Direction, Awesome Cinematography, Pitch perfect Editing. Acting Skills Way High. How's the Josh??? HIGH SIR.",10 Dont watch this instead read its summary and watch S2 direct. S1 is just time wasting. Wasted my 30 mins. and i am regreting till date,1 "After watching three episodes for finding something excited, balance of my patience got disturbed and i lossed my control. After this incident, I touched my phone on today and I had watched it on yesterday.",1 "If you are looking for a boring, predictable and too long movie full of terrible cliches and written for rich, old and conservative people: here you are! Why does robert de niro participate in this? Some parts are so awful that you cant stop rolling your eyes... definitely not to recommand.",2 "This movie should have been 1.5h long. The scenes are dragged on for so long and they add absolutely nothing to the story. The acting was okay, but not the best. Writing could have been better, I could not wait for the movie to finish as it bored me to death, the pacing was terrible. Also this movie has no rewatch value, nothing terribly exciting happens and the endding is very predictable. What a disappointment.",4 "It was more of a cheap rip-off of 'A Quiet Place', with a few changes. Not worth a watch.",1 "If you need to use the restroom in the middle of the movie, just go. You're not gonna miss anything.",3 "I wasn't really sure what I was going to think of this movie when I sat down to watch it because while I don't always agree with The Coen Brothers sense of humour I've always found them to be excellent directors of action and actors and I'm glad to say that I thought this film was fantastic. Fargo has a perfect run time it never drags for a single second yet everything is wrapped up perfectly in the relatively short run time. I really thought that the accents in this film were going to get on my nerves after a while but they didn't it fit perfectly with the characters and its actually another thing that makes this film so unique. From scene one William H Macy impressed my he was just so perfect at being a pathetic and slimy human being and while you don't ever side with what he's trying to do you kind off in a way sympathise with him because of all the hardships he's has and absolutely earned his Oscar nomination. Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare were both fantastic in this film I thought they bounced of each other perfectly and created for some really entertaining dialogue scenes between the two. The whole plot of the kidnapping gone wrong was exhilarating seeing all the characters trying to avoid the law and getting caught hiding evidence and double crossing each other made for some great tension and gave this film its entertainment value but the thing I absolutely hated about this film was the character of Marge Gunderson. She stopped this movie from being perfect, don't get me wrong I thought that Frances McDormand was great in this film but the character was just so annoying her interaction with her husband was awkward and annoying to watch and at the bare minimum it just wasn't as interesting as the kidnapping plot. She just didn't need to be in this movie and it really held this film back for me. I'm not going to say that McDormand was bad in this film but I can't say that same for he character or her arc but luckily this film had far to much good in it for one character to ruin it for me. I really enjoyed Fargo it's a non-stop crime thriller with a great movie plot and it's perfect paced despite the atrocious female lead. 84%/A-",8 "Unfortunately, another mediocre and tedious show. Good cinematography, a solid cast and a disastrous script. The series had potential and was really promising, but unfortunately it went in a predictable direction. It's sad to see what the film industry has turned into, special effects and a bad script. That's how we could describe most of today's film production. The show is mediocre and boring, the dialogue is forced and at times the show seems like a parody. The cinematography isn't bad, and the action scenes are solidly directed, though they sometimes seem a bit confusing and amateurish. The cast isn't bad, but simply the script isn't good enough. The writers focused on some other things than entertainment and this resulted in a mediocre and tedious series that is unfortunately not worth spending time on. Good cinematography, a solid cast and a disastrous script. The series had potential and was really promising, but unfortunately it went in a predictable direction. Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan are a good acting couple and it's a real shame this show didn't have better writers. The villains are hilarious, it's amazing that they managed to make such a short show so boring. The actors are good, but that is simply not enough to save this catastrophe A boring, tedious show that is not worth watching.",3 "Three hours of my life I wish I could get back. Feels as though they are trying to cram War and Peace into 3 hours of boringness. Too many characters for any meaningful character development. This movie tries to be a love story, a war story, a science documentary, and a biography all wrapped up in one enchilada oofa mess. I felt no sympathy for any of the characters because the only one on the screen long enough to get to know was Oppenheimer himself. The part where they detonate the bomb was interesting so be sure to tell your friends to wake you up when that part starts and then again when the lights come on.",2 "Why IMDB would use 'Comedy' as the first descriptor of this movie is beyond reason. The cast and acting is superb, however the movie drags on as the Chef becomes more and more abusive and as some of his staff commit suicide. There was no humor black or otherwise at any point in this movie. The chef was emotionally abusive, he himself is a very disturbed individual. The only thing that kept me and my partner from walking out on this movie was a hopeful curiosity that something would change at the end and someone might escape a gruesome death. I would not go to this movie if someone paid me $1000. There are so many other good movies out there that are more than just a tedious depiction of psychopathy.",3 "This movie was such great experience to live. It's a fun, entertaining, deep, and amazing piece of art. It was very funny at times, made me cry other times, and made me feel nostalgic and warm and proud and all of these different feelings. But most importantly it made me think! I really love it when movies discuss topics that matter and shake your ideas a little bit. I loved the cast, the costume designs, the music and everything in between. Margot Robbie is a queen, her acting was amazing and she's just the perfect cast for this role. Also, Ryan did an amazing job and so did the rest of the cast. Judging by the propaganda that surrounded it and the hype around it I didn't have high expectations but honestly I was pleasantly surprised. Also, I have to say that the story of this movie is very very similar to ""Free guy"" the one with Ryan Reynolds but it was done well so I can't complain.",8 "Found on reddit, IMO the best summary you can give: ""It's like adapting Harry Potter. Except Ron died in the first movie, Hermione loses her ability to do magic and they make Dumbeldoor the main villian""",1 "Episode 1's flaws have been listed to death so I'll skip that. Episode 2 was great. An actual original story of what if T'Challa had been abducted and became Starlord. I won't add spoilers but I thought they did a great job, especially with the Thanos angle. There were funny moments and a few touching moments. Hearing Chadwick's voice one last time was bittersweet. All in all a great effort. If the rest of the episodes are like this one it will do great. P. S. Please stop with the it's too ""woke"" or ""socialist"". Apparently if there's a minority main character or a strong female character then it's woke 🤔(I will admit making Carter stronger than Steve in Episode 1 was ridiculous) And I don't know what's socialist about being a hero. I'm not sure these people even know what they're saying. Their cult just have lines they have to parrot constantly.",7 I hated this season so much. All the dialogues felt forced and felt non organic. Geralt's character feels so unnatural as he is giving this unnatural speeches. Lot of side characters felt unnecessary and overall hated the season. Their adaptation is so bad I could barely understand the timelines of things that are taking place. Witcher's character feels like a side character than the main character. The CGI is bad too.. It's so bad I thought I was watching a dream sequence until I realised it was not. To be Frank I did not plan on watching this season in the first place but watched it anyways to see how it goes. Guess this will be my last season.,1 "The beginning of the movie is fatally boring.. they could go into depth about the matter of the dust, creating a fateful atmosphere instead of the boring and scientific dialogues that I wonder how the actors managed to memorize and repeat them.. the good thing was the waves.. even the scene of deception and fighting was bad and ridiculous. It is working as it should.",4 "Cheap clichés, lousy special effects, and cheesy ""gruff"" accents. A discount Game of Thrones for the simple folk.",1 "I think Avatar is a really good show. I watch it a lot and it's really cool. It has action, drama, a little bit of romance and a lot of comedy. I also like it because it seems sort of familiar to me. If you're a Christian, you would probably think so too. Avatar seems to have some references to the Bible. Aang seems to be like Christ, his friends seem to be like Christians, Fire Lord Ozai seems like Satan and the Fire Nation is like sinners. It tells how the avatar returned to the world to save everybody like Christ came to Earth to do the same and like he will again someday. It also tells about things that are like how Christians spread the gospel and how people get tempted by Satan and his demons. If you read the Bible and pay close attention to the show, you'll get it. I think some of the writers are Christians and are trying to teach the Bible to kids. Me being a Christian, I think that's good. Keep up the good work, writers.",9 "Many reviewers say that some people don't get this film, because they cannot understand its purpose, that of a slow and subtle story that tells about loneliness, aimlessness and feeling detached from your own life. Thus there seem to be two kinds of people: those who love this movie for its ability to tell a story with minimal plot and those who hate it because it's boring and nothing happens. I'm somewhere in the middle. I didn't think that nothing happens, but I actually thought that it lacked something. There are a lot of shots where people just seem to exist side by side, sitting somewhere or lying around on their beds. Sure, those shots are needed, because they relate the feeling of having nothing important to do, one of the key themes of this film, but they're not very interesting to witness. And that's this movie, intellectually interesting and yeah, I can relate to these characters, because I've had days when I've felt like they do throughout this whole film, but the film is a bit boring. So, is it a bad film? Not at all. The imagery, for one, is extremely pleasing, and the modern day Japan is portrayed beautifully with its old traditions that are beginning to mix with the phenomena of today. Plus Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson are both powerful actors that give brilliant performances. Final thoughts, it's a good movie, but it's not for those that want their movies fast and furious, with high emotions and flashy action scenes.",6 "Not a bad pass time.. though I would say the first episode is the strongest. Its bingeable and I like its style. Tbh I find it to be quite a strong copy of CAOS (chilling adventures of Sabrina) in cinematography, styling, aesthetics & some character plots. Though Sabrina was definitely better for seasons 1 & 2 b4 they ruined it no turning back season 3 sadly. So maybe this will last longer as even though not as strong a first series Netflix could ve trying to make up for the Damage they did to CAOS and hopefully will keep good writers on and not put anything out thats not ready or thought through Ortega acted well and totally carried her character... The Thing the Hand was the most loveable character/feature on the show. Tbf there wasnt anyone I didnt like. I will likely watch season 2 if they make one.",6 Great story with Amazing Cast and the Direction by Anurag Kashyap.,10 "Did i just watch a different movie than anybody else!!! Don't waste your time, it's not worth watching except you're a fan lik",3 But the way its going seems like a children's story with bad language... WTF.,5 "The guy kills 350 people with shots to the head because they killed his late wife's poodle! A script like this is unbelievable. Come up with a minimally credible story to justify a murder like this. And when a guy is arrested, the villain comes up with a stupid conversation, he doesn't kill the hero and then the guy who looks more like a superhero forces the villain to tell him where the stupid son who created all the trouble is. It's unbelievable that they would pay a screenwriter to write a story like this. Story for adults with cognitive deficits and there are even worse things. A reflection of the imbecility that the current world experiences.",4 So this movie was different from all the South movies I have seen. A very strong and different plot with good lead. And there wasn't that much action scenes in this but what makes it unique was it's plot twists and storyline. A nice thriller . There were some weak points too but yes I enjoyed it alot. Best thriller of India ! No doubt.,7 "This show very accurately shows what superheroes would be like in our modern society. All about social media and the outlook of the hero instead of actually saving people. Despite superheroes not existing, it feels very accurate. I love the characters and actors a lot, especially Homelander played by Anthony Starr, who is my favorite character. Season 1 is fantastic and season 2 is also great, but not as good. This show really does feel like one of those shows that everyone should see because of the heavy amount of amazing moments. They also curse a lot. A lot a lot. But I think it works pretty much every time they use a curse word.",9 Each and every point of the story have been joined so properly that it's a task to find a mistake in it. It's hilarious a great watch after a long time watch it won't regret it!,8 "Filled with terrible acting, completely false events, and 0 science. The central plot claims to be spearheading science over misinformation while in actuality not even taking the time to read a single real account or report of the situation. This show is filled with more misinformation about the event than even the Soviet Union provided at the time.",1 "The first episode especially was very intense. Lots of nail-biting suspense. If you can't enjoy it without intellectualizing, then watch something else. It's Science FICTION people. I like a show with actors I've never seen. ""Dr Smith"" is a total sociopath. ""I said the right thing"" whether she believes it or not.",9 "I don't see how people like this movie. Did I miss something , cuz I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't like this crap. I thought this movie was disappointing like I had high expectations for the movie since I did like La La Land and High School Musical. I just wanted to walk out the theater but I couldn't because I was with friends. The songs were boring and I almost fell asleep. The only good thing about this movie is Zendaya because she is stunning and beautiful. But everything else boring and a waste of time.",4 "I completely understand how beloved this show is and that it has a beloved fan base. I totally understand why, and the show deserves that love and support for its multilayered plots, theme of unifying despite critical differences (and other relationship-based themes of course), incredible comedic and dramatic acting, very likeable characters, and episodic conflict that keeps you on the edge of your seat. There have been a lot of times where the absurd humor has made me bust up laughing. So, so great. I personally think that this show is not AS clever as it thinks it is. And, EVEN THOUGH it's made me laugh really hard, I don't think it's AS funny as it thinks it is, either. One thing that really bothers me is the anti-Christian current running through it in some episodes. Of COURSE I understand that this show is CONSISTENTLY making fun of a BUNCH of groups of people, and NOT just Christians. And the most liberal characters like Britta are seen as kinda unhinged and crazy, and THEY get made fun of constantly. Yes, I totally get that! And I think it's funny that they do that. I just wanted to focus on the Christianity aspect. Shirley is ruthlessly overbearing about her Christian standards and is extremely passive-aggressive about how immoral her peers are, even when SHE does very immoral things herself (like trying to emotionally manipulate her friends and stuff). I'm not saying that teasing a Christian culture is always horribly wrong. Sometimes it is super funny. But to me, it is way too much to watch in all the episodes. I know that, while all the characters have their vices (some more extreme than others), the point is that you understand that they're ALL flawed, and that they are all still likeable in their own ways. However, Shirley's character in particular sparks criticism of Christianity that has become more commonplace in mainstream TV. Other popular overbearing evangelist characters (on TV or Internet) include Momoko from Ghost Stories and Angela from the Office. I think these two characters ARE really funny! They DO make me laugh. But it's more popular now than ever to bash Christian beliefs and spread the idea that, because you've seen so many lunatic examples, ALL Christians must be unlikeable little pukes who want to manipulate their peers. Irreverent humor is not always bad. Sometimes I love it. But this show is just one of many to entertain the ""overbearing Christian"" stereotype to nauseating effect. Dan Harmon, who also co-created the nauseatingly nihilistic ""Rick and Morty,"" has a humor style that I am really, really tired of.",7 "I liked it, but we see that it's a movie because what happens can't happen in real life, but it still makes us think. When the mother died it was sad, and then the father-daughter relationship deteriorated during the film. To bring them closer I think they thought of making the girl disappear to bring them closer. The film seemed exaggerated to me. How did she survive the storm. I found it long. I found the father-daughter relationship sad after the mother's death. In history there have been reversals of situation, what I liked, that's what I like to see in films, series, books. I haven't felt the detective since the beginning.",6 "I really enjoyed season 1 and in my opinion, it should have ended that season. The other seasons are totally unnecessary.",6 I was wondering how they would adapt this book to a 2-hour movie. The answer: they didn't.,5 "I thought that movie would be different from what I've seen before but no, I was wrong. There's nothing new. Cliché storyline, brainwashing Hollywood movie for one more time. And of course sex scene between the two spies. Enough said.",4 Interesting . The last episode was a bit slow . Now I have watched the series I realised it was similar in a way to the old British series The Prisoner that had a cult following . To be sure I'll have to watch the next series .,7 "So here we are a month after this films release and we're still talking about it. Actually by talking about it i mean it's jaw dropping box office performance and recently ranked best film of all time on IMDb. Thankfully as of today it has dropped from #1 to 3 and probably will keep dropping. Let me get this off my chest i thing it's a good movie not a great one and it sure as hell is not a masterpiece or even the greatest comic book movie of all time that dubious honor belongs to the Fantastic Four followed closely behind by the first Spider-Man. I know this to many is blasphemy so crucify me fellow comic book fans but this is what i truly believe. My main problems with The Dark Knight stem with the fact that it's way to friggin long, is a little hard to follow, and at times felt rushed with scenes either missing or suddenly appearing with no flow to them. For instance (one of the awkward scenes i'm talking about occurs at the beginning) after the joker puts his calling card on the table next to Gotham's most notorious mobsters while they have their therapy session meetings (as the Joker puts them) in a anonymous kitchen. The moment the joker bolts out the kitchen's swaying doors suddenly we're treated to a scene with Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawes sitting at a table having dinner in an expensive restaurant. This may not seem as bad in my review but trust me in the movie it's really awkward like there's no built up to it it just shows up. one of other problems i have with this movie is the way scenes seem to go on forever just to have the film run two and a half hours where they could have been resolved much faster or cut out entirely. (Spoilers) Example: The ferry scene. Toward the end The joker has 2 ferries rigged with explosives one carrying innocent civilians the other convicted felons and convicts (One of the convicts happens to be played by Tommy Tiny Lister Jr. from Friday and The Fifth Element). The reason their on the ferries is because the joker has threatened to level gotham and cause chaos and anarchy in the city. Gotham officials order the people be evacuated some choose the ferries. The joker puts one detonator on each boat and plays a game with his victims he tells them that at the strike of midnight one will decide whose lives are worth living more the civilians or the convicts. Than when midnight hits whoever puts the detonator together the fastest lives and in the process blows up the other ferry killing everyone on board. However, in the end everything gets resolved by Tommy Tiny Lister Jr. simply throwing his ferries detonator thru a window into the water and turning to his superior and rightfully proclaiming ""You should have done this a long time ago"". My words exactly had Tommy Tiny been the one to decide the fate of everyone on the two ferries instead of the warden who was stupid enough to believe that the ferries were rigged the scene would have lasted mere seconds cause he would have known that the whole thing was a charade. Cause convicts know when they're being played. So this lengthy scene for nothing had one character gotten control of the situation. The movie would have ended 15 minuted earlier. My big last complaint against this movie is the way it treats two of Batman's other villains. (Spoilers) Scarecrow is horrificly underused in this movie to the point where it's anti-climatic. Scarecrow appears for about 2 minutes in the beginning as a drug dealer selling his hallucinogen drug in a parking garage only to be ambushed by fake batmen and then batman himself before he's tied by batman and left in the garage probably to be used again in the next movie. We never find out his fate whether he's arrested or put in arkham asylum. Then to top it all off Cillian Murphy himself who plays Scarecrow only says one line in his deep raspy voice (a mere three words) while the rest of his dialogue sounds like willem dafoe crossed with a young child. Talk about weird. (Big Spoiler) However, the greatest sin this film commits is the killing off of Two-Face. Yes, people two face dies in this movie. i thought he was being built up for another movie but i guess that was beneath Chris Nolan so he kills him off. The problem with his death is it's so damn weak he simply falls over a ledge with Batman after holding Jim Gordon's family hostage and breaks his back. What a waste of an iconic villain. Why aren't more comic book fans upset about this? Way to forgiving. I know i'm making this review sound like i hate it i don't i'm just pointing out it's hugely glaring flaws that everyone seems to be looking over. The good things about the movie are a great performance by Heath Ledger (tragic what happened to him) Great chase/ambush scene with armored trucks, helicopters, the batpod, eighteen wheelers, and police cars all vying to get harvey dent who's being transported to prison, and a couple of well timed out of left field plot twists. So overall good to watch once but more of an experience than an entertainment.",5 "Adam and Jennifer have good chemistry but the script is all over the place, bad pacing, and just bad jokes. Overall, a very boring comedy with decent performances.",6 "Ugh. This could have been a good 90- or 120-minute movie, why they have to S-T-R-E-T-C-H it out with meaningless and stupid scenes is beyond me. Two people get in a car and drive somewhere, and for 15 minutes (seems like 90) they talk about NOTHING. I have the same complaint about ""The Sinner."" They take a short story and make it into a novel. Advertising dollars? I guess that's why. But you have to have better writers, and more plot, than this to fill 500 hours of television. Yikes. You wouldn't take a can of soup and add a gallon of water, would you? So why try to do it with our minds?",4 "Bloated, egotistical, self serving, done-before, unnecessary movie. It's wonderful to see this cast together, especially JP out of retirement. However, De Niro phones it in but Al and Joe are, well, Al and Joe. The CGI de-aging worked well but these guys can't move like the younger men they are portraying. It felt like a swan song for these legends but they deserve better. I was bored; had to break the movie up into three sittings.",4 "I love the Lion King and it's a fond childhood film of mine. I think the special effects and CGI animation was superb. I just couldn't deal with the voice overs and singing for some reason. Beyoncé's voice as Nala just doesn't fit the character and charm. Scar looked old and his mane wasn't really dark. The hyenas were not goofy or crazy like the 1994 version. The expressions were empty and lacked emotion, and I think it's an important part to grab the audiences' hearts and attention. The catch phrases and jokes were predictable and sometimes didn't match the intention. Some scenes are a bit too dark and it might be scary for younger kids. The lions and scenery looked beautiful nonetheless. I think Leona Lewis would have been great as Nala. Overall, I enjoyed the film, but the magic and feeling of the 1994 Lion King is missing.",4 "I echo what many people have said critically against this series. It's poorly written, poorly acted, poorly directed, poorly edited, and it seems they've embarked on a path of no return already so that they will never get back to the story of the books. I almost didn't even bother with this series, given the incredible almost criminal demise of Game of Thrones over its last two seasons. D&D ran that show into the ground, and I made sure that had nothing to do with this one before watching. So I was excited and pumped to watch the first episode. Then I watched it and I was so disappointed. Almost nothing redeeming about it. Not one character that even remotely had me rooting for them, or even hating them. But I thought to myself, this is only the first episode, keep watching. So I watched the second episode, and I was disappointed in the exact same way. Then by the end of the third episode, well, now I have a statistical pattern with 2° of freedom. They chose to depart significantly already from the GRRM story, and I don't think they can recover from it. I predict the show gets canceled. In the name of diversity and a high ""woke coefficient"" they have literally sacrificed storytelling. As an example, it seems obvious the show runners cared more about having a black person play a Valerian, rather than intelligently through a well written script tell the audience what a Valerian is. And this is the main culprit. The script is awful. The acting on that script is awful. The editing by which the piece of story together is awful. The sets are not thawed out well at all, and apparently according to the show, the technology base is the same as it will be in 200 years. I will not be watching any more episodes. I've written this show off. It's just not worth watching. I suspect the people who think it is ""awesome"", or probably more or less the same sorts of people who thought season eight of GOT was awesome television. My goodness! Edit I made it through episode nine and I'm definitely calling it quits. There's really not even one character left in the show that I care about. I wanted to love this, only because the producers of Game of Thrones had nothing to do with it, and I thought I would give HBO another chance to get it right. This show is a fail.",6 "WnadaVision is very interesting and different from everything Marvel has done so far, at least half of the series. The first 4-5 episodes are absolutely brilliant, you don't even realize that it's part of the MCU but slowly until the end it becomes more and more a typical Marvel CGI fest which is not really that bad but considering the originality with which it started the series, I would have liked to keep this until the end. Nevertheless, it's a good series, it has a different and mysterious atmosphere, which is always a plus point for me, even if the twists were a bit obvious, they were still satisfying, but again, it would have a greater impact if it ended the way it started.",8 "I have successfully completed Barbenheimer and what a wonderful weekend for cinema it was. Every so often is their polar opposite releases but none ever this big. I saw packed theatres consistently on both days which was an amazing thing to be apart of. It felt very much like the old days of going to the theatres for any movie and the auditorium being absolutely packed! Barbie follows stereotypical Barbie as her normal perfect life gets disturbed by something happening in the real world as to which she has to leave Barbie world and fix her life. This is the bare bones of the story but Greta Gerwig explores so much more than that. It's obvious the film is highly inspired by films such as Wizard of Oz, La La Land and 2001 space odyssey to name a few. The talent behind the camera is very obvious and this is extremely stylized film. All of the Barbie stuff is top notch and the sets they built feels like something Tim Burton cooked up. Really excellent set design, costumes and props throughout this film. I was really worried that this film would spend too much time in the real world and it doesn't. It focuses alot of its story in Barbie World which I really appreciated. Margot Robbie is perfect in the role and continues to showcase her acting chops. Ryan Gosling is amazing too he has the perfect comedic timing and delivery. Perfect casting combo for this role. Barbie is a much deeper character exploration and interesting topic point that is very aesthetically shown in this film. No matter what you believe in there is an honest message and I'm sure many girls of all ages will relate to this film on one level or another.",8 "Either be a spoof, or don't. Slightly entertaining, but just not funny.",4 "Produced by TVF (Permanent Roommates, Tripling). Set in a rural area. Slow but interesting. I was able to predict the ending after watching the 1st episode. Looking forward to another season. Overall=average++",8 "The show was good, but there was room for improvement. I felt that Geralt was by far the most fascinating character of the show followed by Jaskier. That being said, I wish they would have centered the show more on Geralt and how he became who or what he is opposed to Yennifer's story. Her origin story was somewhat interesting, but overdrawn. I would have much preferred origin scenes pertaining to him and prolonged scenes with Geralt engaged in scenes like the first episode in Belkavin. Instead, they used so much time having Ciri wander through the woods to avoid her captures which became very boring after awhile. I found myself reverting to playing games on my phone during her scenes. They also could have foregone many parts of Yennifer's story, such as the love affair with Istredd, despite him being a great actor. It just didn't contribute enough to the overall story to take screen time from Geralt. I would also like to see Geralt in action for longer than 1-2 minutes. He is supposed to be a supernatural killer, but spent too much time getting thrown around by other monsters as the season progressed. The first episode was amazing when his face distorted like a blood thirsty monster. I felt the town battle with Renfri and her men was the highlight of the entire series. Other battles left much to be desired. Overall, I think the show with a good plot. They just need to take advantage of it and improve on the magic, monster and fight scenes.",6 "Love the series, specially the way the representant the Kree.",10 "There are two options: either you like it or you really don't like it! And I tried! I really tried. I watched five episodes and came to the same conclusion, as at the end of the first episode. It really is a mess. It's for those who watched TV in the 60's, a sitcom garbage. That's all! Noted with 3. I would have given 1 but I think I would have been unfair. But it is clearly a waste of time. I was waited for a real Marvel.",6 "I agree with the other 5/10 reviewers. Started out very good and I was hooked. I just finished ep 5 and it's not worth finishing. Something fell over after ep2 and it lost it's way. I think that's when the Stephen King dialogue kicked in. Long scenes where there is nothing happening, guess they call it mood setting without the pay off. Equally long dialogue where everything is over explained, to a point where you want to tell them to move on. This is typical of King stories. And, like most King books and movies, everyone thinks the same. You could line up the characters with each other and they all react the same. That's something King has never done well. Separate characters and allow them to breathe. Instead, they talk the same, react the same and think the same as well as over explain things in awkwardly long dialogue. Oh, and everyone can recount monsters names and demons off the top of their head in great detail. This could have been good if handled by a competent screen writer and equally competent director after ep2, but wasn't. It's a 4 from me to counteract the Stephen King fanboys.",4 "In a field of thrillers loaded with Russian spy movies, this isn't too bad. The cast is very good and the intrigue is intriguing. It has all the requisite eye candy, such as it is, since Lawrence opted to ""keep it real"" for the role, so good on her. The only drawback I could see is the dis believable casting of Lawrence as a prima ballerina. The twist at the end is delicious.",7 "Astronauts Ryan (Sandra Bullock) and Matt (George Clooney) are stranded in space after a freak accident. There… that's the story out of the way, now let's concentrate on the real reasons why this film is being heaped with praise: the spectacular special effects and awesome 3D. With every shot of Gravity begging the question 'how the hell did they do that?' and some really great use of the latest 3D technology, this big budget special effects extravaganza is a sumptuous feast for the eyes from the very first frame to the absolute last, director Alfonso Cuarón pulling off feats of visual trickery even more unbelievable than Ryan's ability to survive the film's repeated disasters. If you're able to ignore the script's sillier moments and some glaring scientific plot-holes, Gravity should prove to be a stellar experience; if you're looking for something resembling a great story, or have an particular interest in space exploration, prepare yourself for the possibility of crash and burn. 7/10 purely for the visuals.",7 Just forgot to mention. Luydmila was an exclusive breed of a Russian pig that was used as an experiment for the very first victims of poisoning. That story is buried under a different title from a different time. The worst part of fictional character work. However the content of the humor does keep me entertained enough for the duration of the show.,9 "This review comes from someone who has read Fire & Blood and I will do some comparisons but will try to judge it as its own thing (no spoilers for future seasons). This review will be uppdated after every season. Season 1: Positivs: The show looks great with fantastic cgi, direction, cinematography and production design. The performance are fantastic with my favorite being Viserys, old Rhanyra and young Alicent. The score is fantastic although I wish for a new title theme. Negatives: The pacing/time jumps: The show really struggles with so much story in so little time. It needed atleast 2 more episodes to flesh out the story. Character aging: The show is very inconsistent with the characters ages. Alicent and Rhanyra switch actors and Viserys slowly desintegreats but Rhanys looks the same at the Harrenhall council and the end which is more than 20 years. Same for Deamon and Cole who both looks the same after 20 years. They didnt need to switch actors but some makeup would be nice. Conclusion: HotD is a good succesor with a few problems which should be solved next season.",8 "It wasn't a bad movie. Steven Spielberg was always making blockbuster and bomb movies. But his latest movies are not like that. There were ok movies, but not like his previous movies. Acting, production design, sound, make-up, cinematography, directing were good. Although the music is ok, it is not catchy. John Williams is no longer what he used to be. Although I liked the movie, I did not understand the purpose of its production. Let's be honest, I don't think it's a good decision to make a biography film about a living person. It can be perceived as egoism that he wrote this film and directed it himself. It's like saying look at the people who don't believe in him, people who don't like him, people who beat him, where I am now. Frankly, at the end of the movie, I had such an idea. I think a Spielberg biopic could have been made later on, rather than continuing with fictional name and surnames. So don't be misunderstood, I think it's better to make biographies or something like that people who are very, very old or dead. And of course, people who have changed things (both in a good and bad way). Yes, overall, the movie is an okay movie, not one of the best Spielberg movies.",7 I had no real problems with this movie scar looked like a drug addicted tho so it was ok not great,2 Great Movie Indeed but duration was so long and couldn't execute my desires properly,8 The cast is great and totally picked randomly with different ages and different ethnics. I love the story line and definitely gives you some good perspectives on life and family and love. And also the soundtrack is killer. I do love the show a lot and every episode just gets better!!!,9 "I don't think a show could ever top this. Perfection.",10 "The less you know about the story of this film, the better. I went into the theater not knowing anything about ""Prisoners"" except for the names of its lead actors. I will not give you a synopsis so you can still watch the film without knowing the full story. ""Prisoners"" attempts to transform a story about a neighborhood kidnapping into something more than just a crime film. When a member of your family becomes a victim of a crime, you will be imprisoned in your own sense of justice. It becomes a thought-provoking film which makes you question your own sense of morality. The atmosphere created by Director Denis Villeneuve is dark and heavy from the first frame, as Hugh Jackman intones the Lord's Prayer. The cold November rainy weather sets the mood very well. However, two and half hours of a relentlessly downcast mood can take its toll on the audiences. I did feel that the film lost its bearings somehow when scalding showers and snakes entered the scene. Whatever missteps of the story and direction is made up for by the talented actors who try their best to bring this turgid story to life. It becomes a compelling drama, better than what it may have appeared on paper. The stellar Oscar-caliber stars bring their A-game to this. Hugh Jackman is explosive here as Keller Dover, the parent with the more extreme reaction to the crime against his family. He is clearly in Wolverine mode here as he gets caught up in his own warped vigilantism. He goes over-the-top in a lot of disturbing scenes, but it was that quiet moment when he recognizes a bloody item of clothing that was his best scene. Jake Gyllenhaal does very well as the dedicated officer in charge of the case, with a name as unlikely as Detective Loki. His best scene is when he was driving through the freeway in the pouring rain with a bleeding wound on his head further distorting his vision, rushing to bring a dying person to the hospital. Maria Bello plays Keller's unstable wife, trapped by her own addiction to sleeping pills. I do not like her past work, but here she was actually good despite her irritating character. Terrence Howard and Viola Davis play the Birches, close friends of the Dovers. They are generally calm people but circumstances force them to turn a blind eye and even become accomplices to another crime. Paul Dano plays a mentally-challenged guy named Alex Jones. He somehow gets us to feel for his creepy character. Melissa Leo plays his adoptive mother Holly. Their behavior will keep you guessing as to their involvement in the case on hand. Overall, this can be a very compelling film that will keep you guessing. However, this is a lengthy, deliberately slow paced film. Despite its good intentions, I feel that it could have been edited into something less meandering and repetitive. A film like this dragged too long is bound to give rise to questionable plot devices and bad red herrings, and this one unfortunately has both.",6 "There is this idea that all movies, because they are made by movie makers, are just metaphors for making movies. The Menu is the perfect example of this. The Chef in this movie is the stand in for the director who gathers together all the people he hates, like reviewers and publishers of reviewers (on the grounds they make or break something when they don't), bad actors, financiers, fan boys, and those who pay money but don't really engage and so on. The problem is of course the director of this movie is a mediocre director so he is fantasising about having absolute control over people, and getting petty revenge. Look there is suspense but only the most vague and pathetic social commentary. What's more, the pay off at the end is pathetic, as you would expect from a mediocre director.",4 "I'm not even exaggerating when I say that the first 10 minutes is jus pure exposition. Its boring and stupid, and every little detail that is set up for this world is just absolutely moronic. I can't believe people saw this mess in theaters.",3 "Given the amount of material produced by DC, the film lacks the substance of the multitude of other superhero films being produced at the moment. The film starts with Diana (Lilly Aspell) living on an idyllic Greek looking island. We don't know where or what time period she grows up in (and it seems like she is the only one who does grow up), honing her skills and learning huge amounts, but suddenly the First World War arrives on her doorstep, in the shape of Chris Pine as Steve Trevor and changes her life. Following on from Dawn of Justice - and lets face it, pretty much everyone knows the Batman and Superman back stories - it makes sense to have an origin story for Wonder Woman for those who don't know who she is (and it would have been good to have an Aquaman (2018) and Cyborg (2020!!!!) film before the Justice League film, but ho-hum). Yet, considering scale of the backdrop of WW1, the camera spends an inordinate amount of time looking straight at Dianas face when they could have spent more time on the plot. DC seem to love these pretentious posing shots, evident through out all the recent films, when they could go back to the Christian Bale style Batman style, or even the Michael Keaton era that at least has some humour and engaging plots. The supporting cast carry the main character, but could have done with more screen time. Connie Nielsen (Hippolyta) and Robin Wright (Antiope) have such presence on the screen as sword wielding, Amazonian warriors and balance nicely with the Lucy Davis (Etta), as a feisty London secretary, and Elena Anaya (Dr. Maru) as a sadistic chemical expert. All these women play pivotal roles in the film and I wish they'd had more lines. Sadly, Saïd Taghmaoui (Sameer), Ewen Bremner(Charlie) and Eugene Brave Rock (The Chief) I think could have been used better; seemingly deep characters with a similar camaraderie as Marvels Howling Commandos, yet they're more played as foils to help Diana better understand the ""world of men"". You can't miss that you have a native American working with an American on a mission to stop a group of people who've invaded another nation. Looking at DC's list of future films, it looks like Diana Prince will be around for a few years to come, and maybe we'll get some more flash backs to better expand on this wonderful character.",4 "Call me a conspiracy theorist, but reading down all the 10 star reviews and most of them are 'I'm russian' or 'I work in a nuclear power plant' or 'I'm from ukraine'... frankly I call BS!! Started to watch this, honestly after 20 minutes the terrible acting was annoying me almost as much as the fact everyone sounded like they were in a 1960s English sitcom. Surely getting some actors who actually sound Russian would have helped? Anyway, very disappointed. Shame was looking forward to this",1 "He makes the show worth watching. Don't wanna be mean and say he is the only good part of this show, but he kinda is... And he is barely in it. This is supposed to be about ""The Witcher"", not Yennefer. The timeline is hard to follow. They do a poor job of distinguishing between current and flashback scenes. The story randomly jumps timelines without warning and there are no markers. It's a bit of a mess and a complete fail when it comes to immersion. I can only imagine how confusing this would be for someone who is not familiar with The Witcher universe. I feel like the directors and show runners simply don't know and/or understand the The Witcher world. And this is painfully obvious when it comes to the writing, the dialogue. Also the forced diversity is absolutely stupid. Can we please go back to meritocracy? Again.. immersion, people, immersion. Immersion is important! Stop pulling me out of the narrative, please. Basically, the show is mediocre at best, but Cavill is brilliant! He carried the whole show. So, yes, I'm giving it an 8 . For Henry Cavill, his hard work and his devotion to Geralt. Hopefully next season will be better..",8 Some episode kind of slow and some times are quiet,8 "I worked late last night and got up early to finish a project by noon. Instead of going home for a nap, I went to the movie at noon on Friday. Most of the reviewers said that Spiderman 2 was better than the original, and they are right. Spiderman is more of a superhero in this one, the girl is better played, and the bad guy has a little redeeming value, once Spiderman talks to him, mano-a-mano. There is obviously a Spiderman 3 in the cards, because it tips us off to it, and I see by IMDb.com that 3 is tentatively scheduled for 2007. Great escapism on a Friday afternoon. I loved it, and I rated this one higher than the first. I never read the comics--my first exposure was Spiderman 1.",10 This movie was ok but it cold be a hole lot better. But this movie made me laugh.,5 "I read most of the books right before this series started, so the story changes and simplification hurts a lot with all the details from the books in my mind. The script scrambled a lot in a pretty chaotic way, some of the characters are presented very poorly in comparison with the books. The atmosphere is only sometimes the way I expected it. Gerald's character is the only one that comes close to the books. They should have focused more on him and a more consistent storytelling & a darker atmosphere. My hope is, that they will listen to the critics and improve the series.",6 "An incoherent mess that manages to waste Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed; Tom Hardy only starts to act in the last 45 minutes or so, which are slightly funny.",5 "The graphics, acting and story are amazing. When the animation takes a break from its blurry suuuper slow frame per second play, the actual graphics are beautiful. The MAIN thing holding this film down (for me ) was the comic-book-style animation. It hurt my eyes for the first 10 minutes until I got used to it. Otherwise I love the humor, music, character of spiderman/spidermans and the female lead. Some certain human characters are severely overpowered to the point of breaking the story.... This was a good movie, not great. To be great, you have to be undeniable and this is undeniably a good movie with some plot holes and a 60 frame per second animation with an alright story and an op antagonist. No idea why this was given 10s by critics but it's worth a watch.",6 "I'm being generous with 5 because it was like so many other CGI movies visually dynamic. You can't but be impressed. The movie overall I personally thought was a total yawn! NOTHING! I REPEAT NOTHING like the 8 previous movies. I think I actually rolled my eyes a couple of times. Characters were dull, BORING, uninteresting and just seemed to lack any depth or personality. Usually Rowling's characters both large and small (including the villains!) are enjoyable, intriguing and you become immediately attached. The story was predictable, BORING, too drawn out, BORING and just lacked the creativity that we've become accustomed to with regard to the Wizarding World. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it and I really wanted to love it! I normally go see these 2-3 times in the theater but I will not be returning for a double dose of DULL. I probably won't buy the movie either. I almost hate myself for saying it but I am disappointed. I hope the next one is better.",5 "So I've waited till the end to give my review and belive me it wasn't easy. I wanted to after every episode just spoil it but no I waited why beacuse this show is beyond interesting filled with wit humor murder and intelligence unlike any show has presented in a long time steller cast gives seller performances but Steve you have truly aged well and not since the ending of planes trains and automobiles have you touched me in a way that says More please. Cannot wait for the next season. For thoes on the fence just do it its a adult show for adults and it's down right perfect enjoy yall.",10 Everyone says that season 3 and 4 are bad and I partly agree. I think the storyline is indeed not so good but I do like what the did with the characters. You can see everyone's growth as an individual. You can see the struggles of the characters. They're growing and finding a way to become better people and you can see there ups and downs. There reason why the did what they did. That's why I think season 3 and 4 aren't as bad as everyone says. You just have to watch for the characters not the storyline! Season 1 is obviously great! It's what made the show so good in the first place. Season 2 indeed is less exciting but still worth watching. Just like season 3 and 4 :),9 "Ok, I'm not going to sit here and lie to you that I didn't just binge both seasons in one weekend like I'm some cromedy crackhead. Because I totally did. This was just the right balance of predictable and unpredictable. The stories in both seasons were excellent. The cinematography - superb! The acting... ok, hold up. Who in their right mind decided to cast Selena Gomez in this?! Are you guys serious? Is that part of the joke?! Don't get me wrong - I LOVE Selena as a person but the girl has literally one facial expression and her voice does not change pitch throughout all 20 episodes. She just can't act. And that's a fact. No, I'm not a hater. I think she got the job done. But she wasn't a joy to watch, the way that it was with the older gentlemen who were such a pleasure to watch on the screen. Selena was simply... blah. Couldn't care less for her. And that made me also not care about her character either. Anyway, go check it out. With or without Selena, it's still worth the watch.",7 "Could not put it down, the actors were amazing fans fit the storey line perfectly. I binge watched as I could not stop watching. It also highlights some important issues facing the younger generation.",9 "I don't get the Harbour let-down. He was so good the first season. I anticipated his shaved horn in Hell Boy. He completely changed his acting. I think he did a caricature, It ruins everything. I guess the only reason Winona didn't end up like David is because the writing for her is better. He seems completely confused about what he's supposed to be doing. I bet he'll agree with this in a few years.",5 This movie is nothing as expected and doesn't give any view of the area they are talking about. Plus Using Indian actors was a really bad choice for Dhaka accent or bangladeshi accen. They were speaking in 90% kolkata 5% normal and 5% of some other Tangail/Jamalpur accent. Poor choice. A total chaos,1 "I found this predictable and.not really a mystery. The characters were very unlikeable and I did not care about them, which is always a sign for me that I won't enjoy a show or movie. The characters needed to have better backstories and have more oomph to their personalties. I need a character to root for or care about. To me the film was all show and pretentiousness without much depth or intriguing story. I also didn't enjoy how Daniel Craig's character was written and his atrocious accent. Is there anything I did like..... yes, the scenery was lovely and the film is well produced and it is easy to watch.",5 "The film is technically fine, quite an eye candy to watch even. with all the tricks for suspense put to work. but at times, the plot just feels like black and white, good against evil war time propaganda. Every single german soldier displayed, is a literal personification of evil. A mindless drone for the enemy. The lack of reciprocity displayed of german soldiers is just absurd. I'm not buying any of that, and i'm from one of the countries who were on the Allied side. Come on, the last war against Germany has ended 70 years ago, you dont need to fabricate anger against your former enemy anymore.",5 "The idea is obviously scintillating and grand by its very nature - traveling through someone's mind, visualizing the world their mind sees, extracting secrets, and even planting new thoughts. This sort of canvass opens door to infinite possibilities and nothing is off the table. However, if one did have this capability, you have to assume US Government would get the wind of it and would be all over it. There are tons of special psyche-ops projects as we speak. I don't believe individuals could just market that ability to corporations for their benefits. If you are a head of some corporation now, how would you even think this option exists, and how would you even approach it? There should be a better explanation of how the talent and its employer found each other and it should not be shown as something that occurs as normally as one hiring a contractor to fix their house. The objective in this movie was so trivial - one corporation wants the destruction of other. Bankers on wall street accomplish that 100 times a day, and they own media too, not only to travel through one persons' mind, but mold mind of entire population, as a matter of fact, entire humanity. So there was nothing too exciting for me about the conception of 'INCEPTION' itself. People are doing it to entire populations, so what is so great about doing it to just one person. To me it would have meant more and I would have cared more, if the objective was as grand as the tool of inception. Something that impacts entire humanity and not just head of one corporation. Also, the visions created by so called architect, are just lame. I think you would find lot more titillating and morbid stuff in a healthy male American brain, then just people walking around in suits. I have had lots of dreams, and none of them ended with a plot of B-Action movie. How does a teenage girl know what corporate world looks like? I do like the main idea of the movie, how it opens doors to reckless imagination, even though it was barely tapped upon. I liked the acting of different characters. Most importantly I liked the personal suffering that the main character experienced, because he had this power, and he misused it, so it is the law of Universe, he pays for it in maximum. I however, don't like the attempt to show relatively happy ending for him. In epic battle of right and wrong, wrong can win all the way, but NOT at the very end. Otherwise, there is no basis for anything. Finally, the last trick to not let the audience know whether the spinning top stops or not is just so cheap, that it should be ridiculed by critics who know what they are talking about.",6 "Extraction, watched last weekend, I would like to share my review comments with you guys. Verdict: Can be easily extracted from your binge-watch 😊 I would rate this 6 on a scale of 10. In one-liner ""it's good for action lover and worth watching but can be spared"". It remains a one-man show from beginning to end. What I noticed a tactical plan of rescue is missed, insignificant sequences which are not must. Plot Overview: The movie revolves around the kidnapping of boy(Ovi), an Indian drug lord's son and how he is extracted from Bangladesh by Tyler (Chris Hemsworth). Most of the scenes are filmed into crowded streets of Dhaka and comes out natural throughout the movie. Action: The action sequence is good and shot beautifully, don't know the technology but it feels you are in a game. Chase scenes are eye-catching, especially the tussle between Chris and Randip Hooda is a treat to watch. Both Chris and Randip did justice to their roles and executed actions perfectly and it seems real. However, some scenes from the army look incompetent, how come a country which is kept under complete lockdown not able to hunt a single person. Personally, I can't believe. Performance: Main screen time is taken by Chris and Randip, both did justice and acted in the character. Rudraksh portrayed the son's role elegantly. The Indian drug lord played by Pankaj Tripati but he hardly got 2 minutes on screen and Priyanshu Painyuli, Bangladesh's drug lord make a significant impact but he also doesn't have anything to do.",6 "I have only seen the first two installments of this series and but was impressed enough to leave a review. Charlie Brooker has popped out of the internet at times when I least expect it revealing the more unsettling aspects of our culture through his program Screenwipe and others. That was my first exposure to Doug Stanhope, a comedian who among others brings us closer together via demonstrations of how media and technology are changing our society and rarely for the better. Black Mirror arrives in the form of anthologized science fiction in the vein of the Twilight zone. It is a series that examines our society's relationship with the media and how it allows us to both shape our own identity and imprison us in a space where empathy and truth are weaknesses and something to hide in order to get ahead. I have always been interested in futurists and Brooker seems to fill the requirements for one. There is nothing in the first two installments that do not reflect current trends in our collective behavior but instead extrapolates where current trends in communications technology; avatars, social media and reality television might lead us if we do not seek to preserve what is beautiful and pure about our collective consciousness and humanity. Having seen reviews here that feel there is no commentary embedded within these stories I couldn't disagree more. As the title suggests, Brooker's Black Mirror shows us a dark reflection of our selves and allows us to evaluate these scenarios through our own emotional filters. There are no blatant soap box messages but I interpreted the narratives as cautionary tales and would hope that no one, when confronted with them, would hope for these near futures. The only thing holding them back from becoming reality is our own resistance to complacency and purely spectator culture. Beyond these philosophical aspects, the program is incredibly well produced and executed in my opinion. The characters and sets create convincing realities and I was never once drawn out of the story due to poor acting, scripting or characterizations. I could not recommend this series more and hope that it will continue on. Congratulations to Brooker and company for their work and their apparent concern for all of us.",9 "Of all the great material Loki has, the show was contemporary claptrap. He is one of the enduring characters in the Norse Mythology, as well as the Marvel Universe...",5 "The series was going extremely good until last episode. Many details were missed, like how did guri and dhairya meet, what happened to SK after he cleared prelims. Things should have been more clear. Also, why would you change Sandeep's accent in last episode?",6 "When I made my daily IMDb check a few months ago and saw a concrete date for an Iron Man sequel, I called up my best friend and we both cried tears of joy. Then reality started setting in and i started thinking about not only the well known reputation of sequels, but the reputation especially of superhero sequels. Given that there are a few exceptional and even better sequels to superhero movies e.g. Spider-man 2, X-Men 2, The Dark Knight etc. So I started to become skeptical. as the date drew closer and i saw trailers being released, I became even more afraid. The idea of multiple superheroes was shown in the trailers and immediately my thoughts strayed to the utter disappointment of *swallow* Spider-man 3. So naturally i became even more afraid. opening night I went to go see it, nail biting the whole way in and secretly thumbing a rosary in my pocket... OK not really... When the movie started, The fear of another SM3 was wiped away. From start to finish this movie is definitely exceptional. the action is brilliant as are the special effects, and Robert Downey Jr. brings the screen to life again as the smooth talking Tony Stark. The multiple Heroes/Villains technique was also played off very well this time around and during the movie subtle (some not so much) hints were dropped about a third movie (DON'T MAKE ANOTHER MISTAKE MARVEL!) overall, excellent sequel that is just as good if not better than the original. 8/10",8 "Episodes 1-5 were mainly well acted with good writing which included some stupid decisions. But the final episode's most of the main events were written awfully. Series was too cocky in trying to be a deep and complicated thriller and did the biggest mistake it could do to fail showing a conclusion that could satisfy even a bit. Madden's acting was very well delivered and it kept the show in a good level until the end. And yes the ending in a genre like this is the most crucial element in my opinion.",4 "Peak white tourists behavior: mocking the culture and language, not trying to learn the language, making fun of the people. The movie itself is dull, boring, SLOW, no plot.",2 Feels like Sabrina the teenage witch compared to others in the Conjuring universe. There is clearly a big effort to explain the stories behind lots of objects in the storage room rather than Annabelle.,6 "This is coming from a person who doesn't watch horror movies because I'm scared but also cuz I just don't care for the genre much. But this movie was just a honest waste of time and money in my opinion. The pace of the movie was quite slow during the times it led to the jump scares; which were also very mediocre. The character ""Daniella"" was unbearable to watch. As well as the ending was so stupidly abrupt. It was comparable to the ""when she woke up she realized it was all just a dream"" scenario. You would expect the characters involved in this movie to be genuinely traumatized after such an event, but no they all were happy as if nothing happened. Also how are people rating this 10/10, do u have any taste in film? Anyways, Smh I just want my money back lmao.",4 "It is hard to rate and review these movies after awhile. There are so many and some I loved while others I didn't. One thing is that every new movie there is something different they try and it either wins or fails. This movie had both. The win was focusing on the main characters more as grown ups than as kids and it really worked. I felt like I was watching more of an adult fantasy type movie. The fail was the use of action scenes. They tried the whole, ""shaking the camera"" to add special effect and more of the real to the action shots. This really took away from the film and even started giving me a headache. I am glad it was not in 3D because I probably would of passed out. The cast was still great and Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson blossom with each movie. The rest of the characters are fun to watch as always and a joy to see act. This film is darker than most of the other movies and did have some more passion towards characters too. So I did enjoy how it was filmed, but not the shaking camera. One more Harry Potter to go and it is over. Hopefully it will end and it will be a good end to a great series and everyone can focus on something new.",7 "I was exciting about this movie since I saw trailer for the first time... but...after ending, I was like , thats it? ... well..beside Brad Pitt excellent acting, it was just average movie...:-(",5 "This movie is no way near the first edition of knives out. As someone mentioned in review, script must have been written on napkin with no content. All big names in cast,but they fail in flying colors. No concrete story or screenplay , no plot and everyone has done such a bad acting. I was waiting in anticipation that something will happen ,but you just get disappointed. Daniel Craig does bring some relief but Not sure what is with fake accent. Edward Norton is ok , but actor of his caliber is just wasted. Not sure why he even did this movie. Huge sets, costly production does not make a good movie , basic necessity is a story and plot and is no where to be found. Save precious 2 hours of your life and avoid this .",2 "If you're looking for something like Thor or Iron Man or Spider-Man: Homecoming in TV format, this will probably disappoint you. There's some comedy and action for sure, but the vibe is a lot more Captain America: The Winter Soldier meets Dr. Strange. Somehow, they created a political drama science fiction psychological thriller mystery action adventure fantasy. And I LOVE IT. Tom Hiddleston is so incredibly charming, and he's surrounded by a fantastic cast. The characters and the world they live in are equal parts fascinating, endearing, and unsettling. The first few episodes are a bit clunky, but the writers had lots and lots of world building to do here. The plot is very much its own thing that has almost nothing to do with the events of the MCU thus far. Aside from one or two ""hi, this is Loki, and this is how he got here"" scenes early on, most everything happening on the show is something the MCU has never shown us before. No one here cares much about S. H. I. E. L. D. or Infinity Stones. So there's some track laying in the beginning, but then the show shifts gears and it's full speed ahead. Episode after episode, the show gets even better, steadily climbing towards a glorious conclusion. Trust me, those who think the show isn't about Loki didn't stick around long enough. I really enjoyed the first season, and I loved the second season even more. It's become one of my favorite shows from the last few years. It's been a long, long time since I've enjoyed something from the MCU this much. Honestly, I feel like this show is my reward for having tolerated the Thor films (except Ragnarok, which was genuinely delightful). Loki is a gift.",9 "If you have some time to waste and don't want anything too deep, feel free to try this out. I personally don't think it's as good as the first, and the story is a bit lame, but it passes an evening. As an aside ... Stephen Graham doing an American accent is chuffing hilarious!",6 "One of the most commercially successful & critical acclaimed film of 2014 yet, 'Queen' is a major winner & worthy of every honor yet received. Its a Stupendous film, that encourages the spirit of Women in India. Its a step forward. 'Queen' Synopsis: A Delhi girl from a traditional family sets out on a solo honeymoon after her marriage gets canceled. 'Queen' narrates its protagonist, Rani's journey with a sense of fun & freedom. Her journey involves heartbreak, friendship & above-all, self-assurance. Its a brilliantly written character, whose journey is equally brilliant. Vikas Bahl's Screenplay is very well-done. His Direction, on the other-hand, is proper. Cinematography by the late Bobby Singh, captures the stunning foreign locales, wonderfully. Music by Amit Trivedi is awesome. Performance-Wise: Kangna is adorable as Rani/Queen. She enacts the naive yet lovable protagonist, with rare ease & understanding. Its without a shed of doubt, her finest performance to date. Also marvelous is Lisa Haydon, who steals the first-hour of the film, with a terrific performance. Her sequences with Kangna, are among the highlights of the film. Rajkummar Rao enacts the troublemaker character, effectively. On the whole, this 'Queen' has the heart to rule yours, as well.",9 "Sadly this film appears disjointed, nice idea, great cast, semi believable but impossible to follow. Too much pouty staring ny JL, no real character development and a very strange ending. iTunes refund policy here we come",4 "Intelligent, entertaining, and eerie. Convincing enough to let us its vision, but after the first 4 episodes had all of my attention, it gets a bit soft and familiar .",8 "During season one, I just thought it would be another Bill-Cosby-Show. In season two, the writing and the actors grew on me, though they are most often based on stereotypes. The kids throw hilarious punchlines. But it is a show that could not live without the dry sense of humour of the leading couple between Ed O'Neill and Sophia Vergara who sometimes bring elements of the unforgetten MWC into it. Watch the series back to back, you will see some scenes in ""Modern Family"" that will remind you of ""Married...with Children"". ""Modern Family"" feels like Al Bundy hit the lottery jackpot. The stereotypes sometimes are exaggerated, but it is still easy entertainment. If you want a really black sense of humour, watch Monty Python or MWC. Kudos to Ed O'Neill for playing Al Bundy and Jay whatever...Good choice of roles! My main point of criticism is that this family is wealthy and will never hit rock bottom like the Bundys, but apart from that, it is a funny show.",7 "I thought this movie had an awesome trailer, so I was really excited to see it. However, the movie takes way too long to get started, has some confusing character motivation, a tacked- on love plot, a patronizing politico-economic agenda, and a climax that feels like a video game. Christian Bale is great as a tortured, wealthy man leading a violent secret life...makes sense. Katie Holmes and Liam Neeson are essentially wasted in this movie, as they exist solely to make Wayne do things--their own motives are confusing or silly. Why is the psychiatrist who becomes the Scarecrow so evil? He is by far the most entirely evil (rather than just bad or greedy) character, but this is never explained. I didn't think any of the bad guys were very memorable, certainly not in comparison to the Joker or Catwoman (in the comics). So...good effort. Nice try at atmosphere, and good acting by Bale and Caine. The bat-mobile was dumb, and will look silly in a couple of years. As will most of this movie.",5 I love Lady Gaga but the acting in this film was horrible. I only gave it a 3 because of Lady Gaga and Shangela.,3 "I played the game and then read the books like Cavill did. And I don't know where Cavill got this version of Geralt from. He's all too serious all the time. Geralt I know jokes and likes to have fun. He wasn't all this serious in Season 1 but decided to take wrong turn for Season 2. And all the episodes, the pacing is very boring with similar pattern in each episode. Maybe they're trying to string it out as long as possible for more seasons?",6 "I really want to love this show but they sadly made it so hard to do so the longer it goes on. The premise is really interesting, you get instantly drawn into this dark noir sci-fi feeling comparable to ex machina's setting. Also the music really fits perfectly in my opinion and creates tension where you need it. The first episode was a 10/10, it really made you try to find out what's really happening and made you exited for the next episode. This is where the story sadly drops. While i didnt really realise it at first while watching, thinking back about what happend makes less and less sense the longer you watch. They open a lot of side plots and they all really dont lead anywhere and have no real influence on the outcome in the end. What really makes this show a lot less enjoyable is the main protagonist. In the first episode you think that her boyfriend is the main lead which was okayish but this has to be the most boring main character they could have chosen. There are no emotions shown with anything that happens let it be characters close to her dying or her discovering some big changes and its gets worse and worse per episode until the end where its unbearable to see her just standing there and doing nothing while delivering some one liner sentences. The end is a let down aswell. It's not that its bad in itself, it makes sense but after building all this up and trying to answer some rather philosophical dilemmas its just not what you would hope for and rather generic. This whole show is centered around determinism and the many worlds theory and this ending is just not really concluding these topics. In conclusion this show can draw you in really hard and if you ignore the main cast and rather focus on the very well done setting and music you can enjoy this a lot. For me there were too many problems in the end and i think with a better script this could have been one of the top sci-fi shows out there. Mabye someone else will take on this and do it better.",7 "Some of the worst most cheese dialogue ever. Movies happen to people who can make them. Give me a break. This just isn't an interesting story and is basically an admission that Hollywood has completely thrown in the towel on n telling new stories. Spielberg will buy himself another Oscar nomination and we'll have to endure articles about this fecal Fellini until after awards season but this is not a good movie and not up to spielberg canon. If you want good vintage Spielberg check out 1941, always, war of the worlds, Jurassic park 3, jaws 2, war horse, showgirls or swept away or any one of his early greats. His new stuff is self indulgent tripe and the box office numbers prove it. Please retire.",1 "It's a movie you watch it and after years u still remember it and u watch it again, coz u want to laugh. I loved it every time. Hilarious comedy, I enjoyed it every single minute. Very disappointed about people who dislike this.",10 First episodes do tend to try to much to establish characters - this one did to a certain extent but the show has not overly done this. Kevin Bacon is his usual excellent self. Looking forward to a long life for this one.,8 "Shekhar Kapoor shows the world how Indian movies could be. He doesn't break any of the basic rules. There are songs and there is melodrama, but Kapoor actually backs it up with a strong script and brilliant acting, which of course is to be expected with Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi in the cast. Jugal Hansraj and Urmila Matondkar are easily recognisable in their pint-sized selves. Pity Jugal Hansraj never got a decent part to play after this one..",10 "Disney + new series ""The Falcon and the Winter Soldier"" is following the events of 'Avengers: Endgame,' where Sam Wilson/Falcon and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier team up in a global adventure that tests their abilities -- and their patience. This show is more of the same old MCU, but that is good. Action is equal to the movies, cinematography, and the atmosphere is just like in the Avengers movies. It is a little slower with a bit more drama, but sidelined characters are now in the spotlight and it looks amazing. This very short first season leads straight into another series ""Loki"", so let's strap up and enjoy the ride.",8 """A Beautiful Mind"" may not be the most overrated film of the year (""The Royal Tenenbaums"" is), but it is close - which is not to say it isn't good; it is. But just because Russell Crowe is superb and it is a feel-good cloying tearjerker does not make it great. You bet it is a tearjerker, and overhyped. The two final syrupy scenes - the presentation of the pens, and the Nobel Prize ceremony - nearly gave me diabetes. The entire movie revolves around two concepts: Modern Psychiatry is brutal and ineffective, and all a disturbed man needs is the love of a good woman. So simplistic and specious. Nevertheless, it is a good well-made, though manipulative, film taking us into the psychotic world of the famous mathematician. It is loosely based on his life, but conveniently ignores such as his delving into homosexuality which got him arrested and fired from his job. In Left-wing Hollywood I'm surprised they didn't push this abnormality. The performances, especially by Crowe, are first-rate; I being especially impressed by Christopher Plummer. No way on this planet is ""A Beautiful Mind"" in the same league as ""Lord of the Rings"" - which IS truly great. If the former wins the Academy Award it will be due only to internal Hollywood politics, which is why ""Shakespeare in Love"" beat up the great ""Saving Private Ryan"" ""A Beautiful Mind"". Good. See it for the performances. But I had no trouble thinking of better movies from this past year.",5 "Pressure plates on the sidewalk which randomly reveal memories, in lieu of dialogue and actions which bring it up. ""Intelligent"" characters doing the dumbest thing people with any inkling of common sense knows is not good, just so the plot can advance. There was no story here, just set pieces and ""payoffs"" to things that never came up, and thus it has no impact. The special effects for the most part were excellent. That's why I give it a 2. Otherwise it would be a zero, this type of garbage is insulting.",2 "Visually this movie is utterly spectacular. The stunts and special effects are amazing, but it still managed to bore me to death. ""God's Perfect Idiot"" plays Deadpool....again. There's the occasional witty repartee, as to be expected with the Perfect Idiot, but the discordant ""plot"" does it no favours as it tries to be clever, which it's not. It is a Michael Bay movie after all. This movie cost a bomb, and it continually angers me that these enormous budgets = drawn out, turgid crap. Had it been condensed to 90 minutes, it may have worked, but it just doesn't. Didn't even make it to the end. What it did do however, through the brief inclusion of Lior Raz, made me yearn for Season 3 of Fauda.",5 "They say Adam Sandler in real life is a genuinely nice guy, once of the good guys in Hollywood. I disagree; if he was he would not of subjected us to a film like this. It seems his 'advisers' told him to make a serious movie, something to get him in academy award contention. Sandler comes up with this 'gem', which is basically a 130 minutes chaotic mess were everyone screams and swears at each other while the main character does one stupid thing after another. There's really very little plot, its basically real life tv style film making, watching Sander's life implode as he makes bad choice after bad choice for no apparent reason. I think its his worst movie by far--and he's made some real dogs in his time. Maybe some people will like it, opinions are always different. I loved Pixels, most hated it. I found this movie about as 'entertaining' as a root canal.",2 This movie is a one of my favourite and the Pritam's music really awosome I still love most funny scenes and dialogues... 😁 😁 😄 😄. Change your taste people 😜😜😜😜,9 "I am 17 years old with Film as one of my main hobbies. I have watched hundreds and hundreds of films and this film comes close to being in the top 5 hated films! No joke. I paid £8.00 to see this film and it is the biggest waste of money. The film lacked many things, one being humour. It was more full of cliché lines and it was rather a cliché film; no uniqueness to it at all, furthermore, the film seemed to drag on way too much and for no need at all, the characters didn't get a clear introduction to the film and left the audience somewhat confused. It was however not shy of action by the least. This is my first review on a film and I felt like I had to do it because the film was so bad in my opinion and would not want anyone to spend £1 on it let alone £8.",2 "I bought this film hoping the critics were right about this film.... It was a disaster not a good film the film is a drag, half of it has the men drunk, the other half is great cinematography dragging on for too long, and lets not foreget you'll leave this film empty and confused why it was even made.",2 "How IMDb ends up rating this 8+ would make a better story than this piece of junk. Scorcese should be ashamed to release this trash. did this really run 3 hours? I wouldn't know because I kept walking way, then coming back, and the same crap was going on, different locale. Sex and drugs and money. Really, did we need that for 3 hours to get the point that these a-holes were low life scum that scammed millions and loved it? No. we didn't need that. I ended up ejecting it after I don't remember how many scenes of masturbation and peeing into waste baskets and similar ridiculous excuses for movie making. Scorcese - this movie sucked. The only reason I have it two stars was because the actors did a good job portraying their characters. But the director, screenplay writers, and the producers let this one get way out of control. Skip this piece of junk. It stinks!",2 "God I hate critics. Acting , plots, should have done this and not that. Hey why don't you get your own studio genius? I LOVED it. Binged the whole season and can't wait for more. I'm one of the normal people who love sci-fi and grew up with Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, Space 1999, UFO. This series pays enough homage to the old while injecting new. It is entertaining. That is why I watch TV and movies. To be entertained. Not judge acting or rewrite scripts. What morons. JUST WATCH IT AND HAVE FUN!!!",8 "Firstly, of course, the positive. Henry Cavill is an excellent piece of casting. And the score is pretty good. To the bad. Can anyone remember the Dungeons and Dragons film that came out in the 90's? What a wealth of possibility that beheld, what potential for plumbing the depths of magic and fighting fantasy. It was utter, utter, ploughing sheyss. This is how I feel about The Witcher adaptation. It could have been so good, why not follow, for the first season, Geralt as he slays monsters for money, develops his magical skills. Keep the story tight, minimal, give us a well thought out story about the titular character. Instead we have a mess of timelines, terrible acting, atrocious casting and minimal monsters/mutations/magic. Why adapt The Witcher in the first place if you're going to trample all over the lore and characters Sapkowski has lovingly crafted. Did any of the writers read the source material? Did they play the games? It seems like they didn't insofar as they could digest that rich tapestry of ancient Poland and come up with this sheyss. I reckon 2/10 only becoming 4/10 for Henry Cavill.",4 Ridiculous movie. How can those men chase a jumper over steel buildings etc. and for the big guy to catch him bad directing.,3 "Ever since missing it at the Festival Lumière last year, I just couldn't wait to see it in the cinemas, and oh boy did it deliver. The movie is semi-autobiographical, and based on Spielberg's own life. You meet Sam Fabelman as he first watches Cecil B. DeMille's The Greatest Show on Earth, and falls in love with movies. While his dad is very much down to Earth and fails to see that Sam's ""hobby"" is much more than this, his mom Mitzi lets him live his passion, letting him borrow cameras, and helping him fulfil what she understands as his destiny. If you do not already love movies, this is the movie to watch, as it lets you see how movies are made and edited. But most of all you follow a young man, falling in love with cinema in all its glory, helping want-to-be actors be their best selves, in front of a camera. This story is also about family, its complexity, its deterioration, and how someone can love others in very different ways. Though the story is very hard at some points, with antisemitism and violence, this is not what you get out of the movie with. To me, this is a love letter to cinema, and to an extent, to family. I had a smile on my face for most of the movie, and I thoroughly enjoyed all the aspects of filmmaking that were shown. Add to this great actors that were well chosen, a director like Spielberg, and you are sure to enjoy yourself. I also loved seeing a few scenes reminding me of other Spielberg movies, like Super 8 right at the beginning. This for sure is a movie that I will watch again.",9 "Initially first saw Inception when it came out. All I could recall were some basic parts of the plot line and that I need to rewatch it since big portions of the film went completely over my head. So recently I had a chance to do that on one of the streaming platforms. I was able to pause and think about the dialogue, go back to earlier scenes just to check if I remember them accurately. After around 3 hours of laser focussed viewing, I was left slightly frustrated but don't regret it. On the face of it, the concept of dream state being induced by a machine and linking number of minds in the same experience, is really appealing. Unfortunately, the writer/directer goes unbelievably overboard with the entire idea. Did we need a dream architect, a second level, third one etc. The most emotionaly potent moment of the entire film is when Fischer meets his dying father in the vault on the third level. The goal is achieved, implanting an idea into his subconscious mind through a dream (i.e Inception). However, if the father-son relationship is so central (accroding to Tom Hardy's character), how come we only get that one scene? The gravity beding special effects certainly make up for an engaging experience in additon to the amazingly dramatic soundtrack. I don't regret seeing it, parts of it are amazing. Just wish the plot was more coherent.",6 "The entire superhero cast is great, like Chris Evans as Captain America/Steve Rogers and Robert Downy Jr as Iron Man/Tony Stark. The rest of the heroes are cool seeing, especially with having them being divided and fighting each other. The conflict in the movie is worth the heroes talking about. I like how Captain America/Steve Rogers and Iron Man/ Tony Stark are at odds with each other to build up the drama of the situation. I still like Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier/Bucky Barnes, I like how at times he will be on the run trying to hide from his past but when Steve Rogers helps him you see they have a friendship. The action scenes are fun, especially when the heroes fight each other in an airport. I liked Zemo as the villain, I liked his backstory and that he has a reason for wanting to tear the Avengers apart. This is a great Marvel movie that is also a cool addition to the Captain America movies. I liked Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) more than Captain America: Civil War (2016) but I they are both awesome movies.",7 "Exceedingly disappointing. As WWII satires go, this only gets a 'meh'. Other recent satires made about the war and other 20th century atrocities have been done better. So much about this film is unwatchable for me. The film stock and the lighting is rough on the eyes. The acting is throwaway (though a decent enough cast, the actors didn't seem to have their hearts in their roles) and the whole thing just seems disjointed and all over the place. I cannot figure out or really understand the choice of music either. All in all, this movie is generously receiving a 3 from me.",3 "The 13 episode series is based on a novel by Jay Asher by the same name. I truly liked this series. It's a very well made and well thought out series though it could be quite far fetched. I thought Hannah's encounters with other characters revealed in season 2 are quite forced. I was reluctant to watch season 2 because I thought it was unnecessary but I was wrong! The show tackles major issues that are seen throughout schools and how inept schools are at tackling said issues. Issues such as emotional bullying, that rarely gets talked about, student oppression, which rarely gets taken seriously, and every type of bullying, which can't be tackled. This show manages to turn a tragedy into knowledge. But I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone. Like I said, each person should do their own research and decide for themselves whether or not they can handle watching it. I can totally understand why someone would choose not to. Episodes 13 of both seasons are too graphic to watch alone if you are bery sensitive or depressed.",9 "I love Tarantino movies, I could watch some of them on repeat and each time appreciate a different aspect. They're a work of art and not only do they capture great storytelling but they showcase actors and actresses great performances. Unfortunately for this move it just didnt hit the spot, I kept on waiting for the twist, the punchline, the energy..... but all I got was a tale of a daytime drama. I give this review 3 stars and this is truly hard as I felt that Brad Pitt deserves a 10 for a fantastic performance and possibly for showcasing the greatest 15 minutes scene within the entire movie. The stars of the movie are fab and I loved each and every role they were set as the acting was exceptional. For me the storyline wasn't what I wanted in a movie. On ending I felt..... wheres the rest ??",3 The Insidious movies are rubbish. The Conjuring movies are passable. The Annabelle movies are terrible. This movie is terrible.,4 "This movie is just amazing, full of comedy. Overall entertaining movie",9 "This show is the perfect vehicle for Americans to gloat over it because it's extremely pretentious. We all would love to decide whether or not something is a masterpiece but in reality only time can bestow that honor. Most times, films and shows that were labeled with such a glowing compliment in their day have not aged well at all. I feel that this will be one of those, hands down. She may have beautifully big eyes but I felt that Anya Taylor-Joy's performance had about as much truthful life as a roomba. It was very robotic, inconsistent and rather unfeeling. If she had any inner life, it was only implied and cerebral, never making a true appearance. There is no visceral dramatic action whatsoever. None. Most scenes are expository and want you to admire how lovely and detailed they are. They're like Gilded Age shots: yes, I see how golden they are, but they are almost always empty emotionally, only implied but never complicit. And that makes a great formula for poor entertainment but ideal self-appreciation. Film and TV is a visual medium. I'm of the mindset that if the sound is off, I should still have a pretty exact idea of what is happening. I dare you to turn the sound off and watch some of these scenes and watch how quick you get bored because there are minimal visual cues that actually help tell the true deep emotional stories of the characters rather than the surfac-y story about chess. I honestly didn't think chess could get any more boring.",3 "The first Iron Man was different from your average comic book movie because it lacked the unnecessary drama, instead replacing it with many more laughs, a much more likable main character, and plenty of comic book flair usually missing from the other comic movies. With the success of Iron Man, Marvel Studios decided to go forth with their long-waited and epic idea to bring a few of their best heroes together into one massive flick that will make anybody that is a fan of comic books squeal with glee and delight. The Avengers is sure to become the biggest addition of comic book film-making since the original Spider-Man broke barriers and records many years ago. The Avengers will be incredible. Which leads to the biggest issue of Iron Man 2: the film is just a tad notch above set-up flick. Just like what Dead Man's Chest in the Pirates franchise did, Iron Man 2 became a 2-hour movie with a slew of conflicts in which were not all resolved because there is another installment coming. Suffering from the Spider-Man 3 effect, Iron Man 2 is chock full of story lines interweaving together, and not all of them are interesting, and not all of them even reach a resolution. We see more Tony Stark than Iron Man. The cameos steal the spotlight. Some of the villains were whether annoying or as much of a threat as a newborn puppy. Many pieces were built around the set, but not all of them fit. Tony Stark 2—er, I mean, Iron Man 2 is about our hero (Robert Downey Jr.) taking on the government, rivals, and even his own health—which is depleting rapidly because of hit artificial ""heart."" With his health slowly dying away, he starts drinking, acting even more eccentric, and even stepped down from his CEO duties. In the meantime, the Iron Man technology is being imitated around the world, with an intelligent Russian (Mickey Rourke) trying to kill Stark with his own version of a powersuit. Justin Theroux provides the screenplay, and stuffs it up with cameos, references to the future, problems, villains, and a few plot lines from old-school Iron Man comic book issues. A lot goes on. Let's at least marvel at the powerhouse cast. Robert Downey Jr. does an excellent job as Tony Stark/Iron Man yet again, providing a great blend of narcissism with subtle fear of death. Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't get much screen time yet again but does a great job with the material she has. Other performances throughout the movie were very good, including Garry Shandling, Mickey Rourke, Samuel L. Jackson, Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle, and to an extent Scarlett Johansson (whose fighting skills nearly stole the entire show). Great performances, but nearly all the supporting actors I mentioned didn't have much time to truly craft a whimsical, memorable performance to the likes of Heath Ledger as the Joker, Rosemary Harris as Aunt May, or William Dafoe as Green Goblin. The acting isn't the only thing chock full of small samples and no main course; there was little action, little tension, little chemistry between the two leads, and little suspense. What progresses the movie and prevented it from being a total disaster was Robert Downey Jr. entertaining the masses with his portrayal of Stark. Granted this is a movie about Tony Stark, but the film is called Iron Man, and one would hope for more of him in the suit. As a matter of fact, Iron Man engages in action in only three scenes, with one of them being extremely short. Just like in the original, the final epic battle was extremely short, extremely underwhelming, and very anti-climactic. Whiplash could have been an intimidating force to the likes of the Joker (in both versions, shut up), Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2, and Syndrome in The Incredibles (not a Marvel villain but a comic book-like villain nonetheless). Like a cruelly beautiful woman, the film is a big tease. There are a lot of characters, but they aren't in the film enough. The special effects were very good, but were not used a lot for the action scenes. Plenty of hints and references towards other Marvel comic books, but none of them lasted more than a minute (even though the last one was indeed------wow). Another problem is that the freshness and originality of Iron Man disappeared, which made this a tougher follow-up than one would assume. Is the film disappointing? Yea, loosely. Is it entertaining? Most definitely, but the potential carried is what makes this a somewhat-frustrating movie. It made most of us beg like an unsatisfied bum for 2011 and 2012 to arrive so we can see more (and longer) comic book crossovers. Bottom Line: Iron Man 2 is most definitely entertaining and loads of fun—sometimes. Other times, we are watching a storyline we don't really care about, watching appearances we know should last longer, or watching potential get ruined because it's being carried over to the next installment of the Marvel movie-making franchise. While this is more script issues than directing issues (Jon Favreau did a decent job, but his character wasn't necessary at all), someone during the production should have stood up and shouted ""What's with all the loose Walt Disney references??"" Wait, wait, wait, I meant ""Isn't this a repeat of what happened to Spider-Man 3??"" Iron Man 2 = Spider-Man 3, except more fun, much less embarrassing, and a better-looking future. The film isn't a boring disaster, but you are constantly left with a desire for more--long before the movie is even over. Now why can't this Avengers movie come faster?",6 "It's important to note that this show makes choices you shouldn't expect it to make, keeping you on the edge of your seat. It's incredibly well acted and laid out, although the first half of the first season carries more intrigue than the second half, where things fall off to a degree. It presents likeable characters and complex storylines.",8 "Lady Gaga is surprisingly good in this film, and the songs are great. That's where the good bits end. Bradley Cooper does not fit the role, the dialogue is terribly cliched, and the direction is lame. It's as if a first year screen student read The Big Book of Movie Cliches and put every single one in the dialogue. It's pretty close to being total rubbish.",5 "Netflix did it again with Stranger Things. It's a very pleasant and easy to follow series to watch. It's like a time warp back to the eighties. A mixture of The Goonies meets The X-Files meets Close Encounters Of A Third Kind. I watched the whole first season in just a couple days. You immediately get hooked on this show. I don't know if the makers will add another season to it and if they do I'm already very curious what it will be about. Will it be a complete other story or will it just continue where the first season ended? It doesn't matter to me, I just want more seasons like this one. The cast is very good. All the actors fit perfectly well in the story. There is enough suspense to keep you interesting all the time. Watch this one, you won't regret it.",9 Forget about any logic and then you might watch the movie to the end...,2 "What I mean by this is, if a group of friends really wanted to rent it, I wouldn't spend a 'veto' against the film with the group, but I wouldn't pick it either. It's tolerable if you don't expect too much from this 'box of chocolates'. I saw this when it came out, and I haven't seen it since. What struck me, was that when it was over, that people exiting the film were completely silent. I don't know why the other people in the theater were silent, but I was because the film really didn't deliver. I felt it took me on a long trip to nowhere. Those in my group felt the same way. But clearly, many other people feel otherwise. While somewhat watchable and pleasant enough to see unfold, and mildly funny at times, expectations of 'something profound' are instead met with a really shallow parade of clichés and stereotypes in a narcissistic baby-boomer nostalgia orgy, the kind of thing that was already wearing out it's welcome from 'the big chill' film & 'thirty-something' type TV shows. The viewer seems obligated to sit there and click on pop icons of the baby boomer past, to make them get off the screen and move on to the next. It's a very shallow parade through history. I'm not politically correct by any means, but it does seem like the worst stereotype was pushed of the Vietnam vet, along with other characters, I'm sure many people found some of these characters degrading. A 'slow person' was kind of made fun of, without any real purpose. Some parts of the movie, such as 'the run' was just spontaneous, stupid and pointless. If I had no real expectations, I might not have found it as offensive. But the presentation as though this was something culturally profound when it's not left me flat.",5 "I shouldn't be writing a review here after just watching 15 minutes of the movie. However, the first 15 minutes were unbearably annoying with no logic, no thought in dialogues, and Adam Sandler's character just being downright stupid and irritating. Please do yourselves a favour and watch something else.",4 Its a very good mystery movie with lots of twists and turns.I recommend this movie to every movie lover.,10 "This multiverse gimmick needs to stop. Now. It gives Marvel/Disney carte blanche to essentially manipulate the history of all characters, which in turn devalues the time we've spent with them in the past. I'm so not interested in following Marvel down this flagrantly money-grabbing path.",3 "Season one was good, Season two was ok. Season three was great up to the footloose scene. After that just another Hollywood flop. Third season is completely unwatchable.",2 "Another clever narrative shrouding gender and sexual expression fluidity via agenda. Sadly we are moving farther away from any sense of moral fabric in mainstream entertainment. #commonsense Too bad as I really liked the premise.",4 "When you read a comment like that, you might think that the movie brought on feelings of nostalgia for me or took me back to a place and time of some significant meaning. If you did think that, then you're dead wrong because what I really meant is that this movie is so ridiculously bad and mind-numbingly stupid that I had to dumb myself down to the level of a 13-year-old on crack to actually enjoy it. You see, it was 11:30 at night on a Sunday and I had contemplated going back to Blockbuster and bitch-slapping the cashier for not warning me about the rotten garbage I was about to expose my eyes to, but I was too tired so I decided to make fun of every line in the movie instead. And if you judge it by that scale, it ranks up there with every Jean Claude Van Damme movie ever made. I love Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris, but they gotta do something good now to redeem themselves. Maybe if Casey ""Same expression on his face at all times"" Affleck could speak like a human and not a midget with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, the movie would have been a bit better. I mean, you can't understand one damn word he says in the whole movie. Annunciate, you're an actor! And what exactly was the point of even having Michelle Monaghan's character in the movie? They could of cut her out completely and the movie would have been a valuable 18 or so minutes shorter. Believe me, no one would notice. One thing the movie didn't have a shortage of was one liners and stupendously ridiculous comments at every turn. If I closed my eyes and tilted my head just so, I could hear Stallone moaning ""Yo Adrian"" followed by Schwarzenneger stating ""I'll be back!"" But then I remembered, those were actually entertaining movies so I knew it was just my imagination playing tricks on me. Bottom line: I would rather have a root canal with a jackhammer while a diseased rat gnaws on my rectum than have to sit through this piece again. Good riddance.",2 "Welcome to a new world: Rizwan's world! There is no religion in his world only good people and bad people! He suffers from a form of autism; asperger's syndrome but that doesn't stop him from differentiating between good and bad and mind you he is a genius and has a pretty good memory.. He doesn't hesitate in saying the truth and is always ready to help and love others.. He says the Khans don't break their promise! He hates yellow color and says the use of mobile phone will kill bees and eventually human beings! This movie isn't a copy of New York or Kurbaan as people say.. In fact this is the only movie in recent times with a super strong message.. The music is soulful and gels along with the movie very well.. Cinematography is top notch! Hats off to Karan Johar for his marvelous direction and special accolades must be given to Shibani Bhatija for superb dialogues! But the man who deserves special kudos and a standing ovation is the king khan himself!! Forget Chak de! Forget Swades or forget anything you remember about him!! The moment you are out of the hall you wont be able to think SRK as a normal person... Funny but yeah he has acted so beautifully that you will only remember Shah Rukh as Rizwan! Yes Rizwan is his new name now!! Kajol was also good in her role even though she doesn't have a big role in the movie! Her sizzling chemistry with SRK is visible whenever the duo are together on screen.. specially in the song Tere Naina!",10 "Way too long, far too many unrealistic combined scenarios. Too many ups and downs occurring to multiple people in a short space of time. Not really a believable true account of this type of thing. I feel the producers were only out to score points by inticing an over dramatic response to multiple issues.",1 "This movie is so horribly bad. As I watched, I kept thinking it has to get better but it only got worse, so I stopped watching after a wasted hour. I can't imagine how this movie got any good ratings. It's not that the acting was bad (it was fair) but the movie itself is simply junk. They threw in a tremendous amount of vulgarity and some celebrity types to try to fool the viewers into believing it was a worthy movie. What a total wasted hour.",3 "I had so much hope & excitement for this film after Wanda Vision, Loki & No Way Home (Which were high quality writing & production). Waiting for this film to open up the the Multiverse and introduce New/Old heroes to this Marvel Universe. It failed miserably, I loved Dr Strange 1 but I am not looking forward to this character/series & America Schavez going forward. Hope to see Wanda from Wanda vision and a few of the other Heroes who had cameos. Marvel Phase 4 Movies are now 2 of 4 in bad movies (Strange & Eternals).",4 "The movie had great writing, great acting, and a cool vibe. It did an excellent job of capturing and describing the issues black artist have when deciding on what type of art to create. Do you create art that sales, even though you believe it's degrades your race and your culture. Often black artist feels they must create art that depicts negative stereotypes about the black community. You know drug dealers, slaves, deadbeat dads, or trifling baby mommas. But, we are so much more than that. But, unfortunately when black artist creates enlighten black art, often the black community nor other racial communities spend money to watch it. This move would have been great if it would had landed the ending. The ending felt like the author got lazy and ran out of ideas. Close the circle next time.",6 "A must watch well written, directed and awesome screenplay. It gives goose bumps, and Vicky Kaushal has done full justice to his role.",10 "Fights, fights, and more fights... and all end with our hero destroying the enemy with just one punch. ""One Punch Man"", the anime adaptation of the manga of the same name, delivers a constant barrage of laughs and action in a faithful adaptation. Saitama is a hero. But not your average hero, like Son Goku, that needs 30 episodes to destroy the big bad after having gone through another 30 episodes of fights with the henchmen. No. Saitama wins his fights with just one punch. We don't really know how he got so strong (the explanation of his training regime to Genos is hilarious), but he is. So strong that the constant apparition of new and more dangerous enemies are never a threat. Even if you keep waiting for a real 'enemy' to appear. With this introduction it is pretty easy to see that ""One Punch Man"" plays the ""Dragon Ball"" or ""Naruto"" card but with a twist, poking fun to all the constant fights in those anime. And it does a great job of it, with a constant tongue-in-cheek approach to your hero anime: from the 'heroes association' to the hero's rankings to Saitama's fights, ""One Punch Man"" is in constant 'funny' mode. Some jokes will be better understood by fans of action anime, but all the deadpan jokes can be enjoyed by everyone. It also helps that the fights, when they come, are perfectly paced and with amazing effects. The humor delivers, but the action too and the threats are always 'believable'. But in what ""One Punch Man"" excels is in characterization. Saitama is your hero after all the threats have disappeared. He is a hero that does his job because it is his job, but doesn't really find a challenge in it anymore. Genos is the perfect secondary, the one that would be the hero in your regular show. And all the others, like Mumen Rider or Terrible Tornado, just add to the series. The voice work is amazing (in its Japanese version, which is the one I saw) and bring the characters to life. The only problem I found is that I enjoyed more the manga than the anime (it also had the surprise factor that this adaptation doesn't (can't) have). Do you like anime? And action anime? Or action? If you do, this is for you. And if you don't, this is for you too. ""One Punch Man"" is amazing. You won't regret it.",8 "The hype for this movie was real and that excitement carried us about 1/4 of the way through the movie. From then on you could actually feel yourself begin to sink with the ship. From the unnecessary child lead acting, the dreadful storyline, to the crappy gore the entire movie unwound the longer you watched. One of the very few Marvel movies I walked away from wishing I had never watched it. Bottom 3 Marvel movies of all time, right up there with X-Men New Mutants and Fantastic Four.",3 "The action is going in several locations at the same time. So how is that possible, that the summer in USA is the winter in USSR (Russia)? It's so annoying that russia can only be shown cold winter? That's make season so unlogic. Why they did so? Am I only one who noticed that?...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................600 characters.",6 "IMDb viewers rated this a top 250 film? What in the world? This film was weak....much weaker than the first one which was average at best. The cheesy storyline with MJ was tedious the first 4 times it was run thru the wringer in the film. I realize that the studios need to push Kirsten Dunst for the 15-22 year old audiences but this was dreadful! I can't believe that Sam Raimi attached his name to this crap. There were a few pluses: (Alfred Molina was solid as Otto Octavius, but nowhere in willem defoe's league... he would have been better served as an auxiliary villain than the sole one)... JK Simmons is great as J Jameson (why not more of him?) This was worse than a Julia Roberts film.",2 Awful show! Way too slow with zero suspense after episode 4 onwards. They should've made it a mini series rather than drag the viewer through countless episodes where theres nothing happening to the point you literally start losing interest in the characters and plot. I'd be surprised if hbo even consider renewing this for a 2nd season.,4 "On the plus side, I think I saw this movie for free, or at the most paid $1 for admittance when I was in college and it was shown in the campus theater. On the negative side is everything else, most notably the movie's lack of empathy for any of its character. Every character, not just Gump, is walking through this movie with no goal, no destination, and no clue, as to what the other characters are doing. Someone off-screen must've just shouted ""move"" over and over again, and then filmed the result. Gump goes here. Gump goes there. Sally Field says this. Sally Field dies. And so on. The reasons behind the historical footage inserts is not to prove it can be done but to distract one from realizing how badly the rest of the film had come together up until the inserts. Anyone who cheers for this movie must also resemble a box of chocolates - flat, consisting of cardboard, and soon empty of their contents.",1 "Henry Caville is brilliant as the Witcher. The storyline is too sporadic per episode making it hard work to follow initially and the dialogue between characters is too cliche, especially in the later episodes. It's definitely a promising series but the acting of many secondary characters did start to feel forced towards the end. Anything following the Witcher himself was entertaining, funny and exciting. More focus on the Witcher!!",6 "Hum, for some reason i thought this was the last season. I was expecting an end. How can they keep dragging this story on. I mean sure its been a good ride but another season, jeez. In my mind each season has just been a little tweak from the last. Yes there are some bad dudes, the goonies try save the world. Blah blah blah. Maybe they'll rip off IT a little more and season 5 will be set in 10 yrs time. Enough already.",7 "This movie is a mess from start to the final shot of the movie. Every scene is cringe worthy and despite sincere efforts i couldn't find one scene that justifies its huge budget. Its just a compilation of action scenes that urge you to stop caring about the movie. Watch it when you're high and maybe you'll like it. Lastly, the innumerable hip hop tracks are the worst thing about this movie. I beg netflix to not order a sequel to this garbage and pity it for trusting Michael Bay.",3 "Car chases, explosions, fight scenes, planned ""jobs"" where everything goes wrong, but it all works out for the most part, (the opening scene should let you know what you're in for) and a weak plot as a vehicle for the aforementioned to occur. So if that's your style, this should be right up your alley. Reynolds couldn't even save this one. They also skip the character development in lieu of title cards introducing each character like Suicide Squad. If you want to see a decent Michael Bay movie, watch 'Pain and Gain'. All of Michael Bay's trademarks, but funny and entertaining. One of the only Michael Bay movies I can think of that's has quality. Mark Wahlberg, Rob Cordry, Tony Shaloub, and Dwayne Johnson are all hilarious.",5 "I'd say you shouldn't watch this show if you're feeling anxious. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but both seasons were fairly triggering. It's a fairly interesting show, but it's also pretty chaotic and frustrating while dealing with heavy issues. I don't hate that I watched it, but I have no desire to ever watch it again. It also ruined that Harry Nilsson song forever.",5 "It's good to see that I'm not the only person who thought this movie lacked EVERYTHING that people expect from a Marvel movie - light on action, heavy on agenda and soooo preachy! It's time for the entertainment industry to realise they are here to amuse us, not throw their political leanings at us - this character had so much to prove and failed miserably. I want my money back!",2 "First of all, I have a question. If Warrens are so concerned about their stash of outrageously dangerous occult items (including, GASP, Annabelle), why do they leave the keys to the room lying openly - behind a picture of Jesus - on a desk? Secondly, don't make a dull horror film where essentially nothing happens until well past the halfway point. That's a crime. I enjoyed other films in this series, but it's time to give it up. They've clearly stopped trying.",4 "I loved the cast, and thought Oscar Isaac did such an amazing job portraying Steven and Marc, and the fight scenes and action was absolutely amazing. But each episode felt too short and I don't think that the story was interesting, or as engaging as it could of been I should say. All in all I think it was a good introduction and I'm excited to see what Season 2 brings for Moon Knight.",7 "The whole character of Nadya and acting is totally cringeworthy, she's trying to be I-don't-care-about-the-world kind of a person but it's so poorly done and old-fashioned that it only embarrasses you. So, the main plot is, a person dies over and over and respawns in the same spot - the toilet and that's it. The jokes aren't even funny, they are outdated and boring. Implementing a borderline mystical or sci-fi idea in a show is really a demanding job to do, because it needs an explanation, how did you make it to that point, how did that happen, what's the configuration behind the event (in our example, returning to the same party after dying). There's no philosophy behind the core idea, no new insights, no possible mechanisms underneath. Awful, don't watch. Waste of time. A total garbage and rip-off.",4 "I also don't understand what's fabulous about this film for some people. But at the end of it all -which is not so interesting or even scary- I do mind being played with raising my expectations and making me wait for SOMETHING with NOTHING at the end ink reward for being patient (several plot holes). This could serve as a resource for a theatrical piece (better written and shorter) but I expect more when I see a movie. How good are film resources if they are not going to be used? What good is it that today we can put almost anything on screen that was not possible before if we are not finally going to use it and in addition we call it ""what is different about the movie""? Is this the new kind of twists and turns in the plot, that there is actually no explanation whatsoever?",6 "I'm not a fan of Mission: Impossible, but I have to say this that ""It was very disappointing y'all'. It made $522 million to date, but still considered a flop as well as ""The Super Mario Bros. Movie"" it flopped too since its debut 4 months ago declining at 41% of the ticket sales. Only a few months ago after the debut, Paul Schrader has weighed in on 'Mission: Impossible 7' that he absolutely hated it. The views stated via Facebook, that Schrader has purposefully reflected upon the script of the film. The movie is a ""tiresome claptrap"" and critiqued the film's writing. There's no reason that AI, given the correct prompts, that couldn't have written this script"", he said. As I expected, Dead Reckoning is the worst Mission Impossible, and it's worse than you remember.

The storyline speaks very true of the comic book and sets the audience up for having true feeling about Peter Parker and his family. The only dull point of the movie is the fact that some of the CGI does look noticeably fake as with the last movie but there are other scenes where the line between the computer images and the real ones is unnoticeable . This movie is a must see and is a instant classic that will mark the highlight of this years films. I only hope the 3rd movie will be just as good as the first two.",10 "Great if you like wooden characters staring off in space, working in a lego building and playing with a giant etch-a-sketch.",1 "It's really an incredible show, it's nice to see Selena Gomez acting again...awesome cast and a rlly intriguing plot.",8 "It's really sad to watch how a skilled horror director wastes his time and skills on a fantasy superhero movie that may be interesting to someone still in the early teens. The most impressing part of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the title, the story, I guess, would not have had any chance to be published in the early days of pulp fiction. Actors and production are okay, but I dare to say, that like many of Marvel's and DC's movies and shows these days, this one will fall into oblivion quickly.",3 "I just binge-watched the entire series that I believe makes me entitled to have a review on it. I usually do not leave any review on imdb but this time I was compelled to do so as I could not bring my head around to understand why this show was incredibly popular and awarded many times. Among all the episodes, I laughed only once, when I watched the episode called Las Vegas (I believe it was in Season 5) but that was even only thanks to the amazing actor, Stephen Marchant. The show itself, even though it is classified as comedy, is not even remotely funny. I cannot believe the legendary (and hilarious) comedy shows such as Friends, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Mad About You have been produced in the same country as where Modern Family was produced. Through the entire show, it seems to me that writers and producers think only being mean to each other is so funny when it is actually not. In the show, all characters act mean to each other then reconcile and the family bond gets strong.. that was THE ONLY concept the writers and producers had in this show. There is no wisdom, there are no wits, there are no twists in any of the episodes. All I saw was the over-acting of all actors and actresses and sadly painful drama that I do not get to learn anything from. I am just simply glad that it is over so I can move onto something else...",1 "As someone who is the number 1 fan of the Moon Knight comic series this take on the superhero is a total disaster. It is boring, uninspiring and and unoriginal. Full of clichés and silly dialogues.",4 "For the ones who are not acquainted with Mr. Christopher Nolan's work prior to the batman trilogy, the Dark Knight Rises is a good movie. Typical action movie, with effects, pursuits, betrayal and so on…The visual will keep you on the edge of your seat. This third film closes the loop to the two prior movies in the trilogy. We have the introduction of Catwoman (with a kind of a sensitive side) and the end might let us wonder if Christopher Nolan will keep making some other Batman movies since we get a hint we might have found a Robin for possible future Batman's adventure films. But let's be honest, the plot is thin. If it was not for the main actors/ characters (found in each of the trilogy's movies) such as Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman and if it was not for the reputation of Christopher Nolan as an ""once upon the time"" great director, the movie might not be so popular. It seems that Christopher Nolan has sacrificed talent for big production films that bring money at the box office. When you have seen Following (which is a cinema classic, made with less than 4000 English pounds), Memento (which is a piece of art), Prestige (which makes you want to watch it again as soon as you finish the first viewing), you cannot help wondering what happened to Mr. Christopher Nolan. Even Inception and Insomnia were still way above average and the first of the trilogy ""Batman Begins"" was interesting because it explored the origins of Batman (excellent idea). But there was no need for the second or third Batman movies. Nolan finally can now be placed among directors in an American/ Hollywood environment but, at what price? Maybe just a dollar figure! If you like movies such as Mission Impossible or the alike, go see the Dark Knight Rises. If you like the genius of Mr. Christopher Nolan that we were lucky to discover in his first movies, please try to let him know that his talent should not be wasted anymore.",3 "Almost 2 hour's!!! Was not exactly expected but it was ok. To police officer or detective was not in charge! Not logical, he has to be there after they could not have unsolved morder case, so longe I know privets detectives are not allowed to be there's at same times, investigation of police is on. But fir fun mysteries night pop corn and chat maybe is good but for sitting in the movies theater, no tooo longe and to slowly make you check your watch, saying when is finished.",4 "Im not sure what was the thought process with this script, but it has nothing to do with Loki as a character. Everything that makes Loki a Loki is ripped out, and replaced with some bland semi romantic bs. Watched first four episodes and literally NOTHING happened that would even raise your eyebrow, let alone make you excited. Its literally 4 hours of just walking and talking. Humour and sarcasm, that i assumed this show would be full of is either terrible, or next to none. Everyone except Tom and Owen are blah, whatever. Dialogue, acting, everything is just so bland. Not even going to discuss those shamelessly pumped up ratings, if you click on ratings 60-70 percent of ratings are 10/10?? But when you read users reviews you cant find more than 5/10, and even that is hard to find.",1 "To much comedy in between the dialaouges. Should have been about life and death scenario which superhero movies should be all about. Not some kinda comedy movie. Great effects in general cause they had the money for it. To me it feels like they just make this movies to earn more money at this point. No passion ,not that great acting. The only good in this movie is the effects and the end of the film.",3 "Watched and loved the original TV series, grew up with it in fact. Not so keen on the film but was still very watchable. This series is definitely different and thanks heavens it is - more of a reboot than a recreation. The storyline and scenarios are very good and it has a quality feel with nice acting performances. Sure many things are different but get over it - this series stands on it's own. Overall, if you want an interesting space drama then this is very watchable and I'd recommend it. All the characters are there. Now to the embittered idiots who feel it is useful to give 1* . This is a rating reserved for ""Plan 9 from Outer Space"" and similar total garbage. Giving 1* for a well acted quality drama is ridiculous and reflects on the small mindedness of those doing it. Shame on you.",8 "I love the games and love the books. The TV series is based on the books, but the producers should have not done Season 1 based on the first (and some of the second) book. Books 1 and 2 are essentially just a jumble of short stories and were written before the main story kicks in (the main story starts in book 3) and as such the first season was very up and down and lacked cohesion. This put many people off which is a real shame as Season 2 really kicks in with the main story hitting home and Season 2 is excellent. That is not to say Season 1 was bad as it was also very good. But people unfamiliar with the Books would have struggled to know the multiple timelines and the short story episodes. Just feel the Series could be so much more successful had they left Books 1 and 2 alone. But overall I am loving the Witcher so far. Bring on the Wild Hunt.",9 "I absolutely adore the progression of this series. It had never ever felt abruptly slow or confusingly fast, everything felt natural. The same can be said as to how the sub-plot weaves together especially at the end of every season where the main character's struggles and conflicts seemingly became connected together and the results of it just feels so satisfying. Besides that, there were a lot of image-worthy shots, and, especially in season 4, the transitions were oh so freaking smooth. I gave it an 8 star though because of the mess of season 3. The other seasons were amazing except the oddly chosen conflict for that particular season.",8 "After having seen The Reader, I found myself in a state of shock, amazement, and disbelief that the same film I had just wasted 2 hours of my life on had been recipient of so many awards, as well as having the seemingly unanimous admiration of film critics lavished upon it. The lovely and talented Kate Winslet stars as a secretary for a high-ranking Nazi Officer who years later will end up on trial for her role as an accomplice for many of the heinous crimes committed by her despicable low-life employer. What ensues is an odd mix to be sure: a statement on Pro-literacy, an art house period piece, soft-core titillation, and a Holocaust/WW II epic. It unfortunately fails with all four. In the film, Winslet's character carries on a torrid affair with a young man. Capitalizing on the well-known fact that Winslet is not shy in front of the camera, there are several explicit sex scenes featuring a fully nude Winslet - as is the case with countless previously released films in which she stars. I am no prude, but Winslet appears to be long past the point of being typecast in this type of role. Nothing wrong with that, but it has now reached a point where if she appears in a film in which her breasts are not bared, people in the audience may be asking for their money back. Winslet is most certainly a fine actress, but the abundance of praise she has received for her turn in ""The Reader"" is mind-boggling to say the least. She has given far better performances in just about everything else I've seen her in. Without question the sole motivation for any studio greenlighting material such as this are for Oscars. As a film fan and Oscar telecast viewer, it is rather disappointing to see the clout of Big Hollywood producers strong-arming the Academy year after year so exercises in mediocrity like ""The Reader"" monopolize the nominations in big categories. To see superior films such as ""The Wrestler"" and ""Gran Torino"" get snubbed in the top category is a real shame for movie fans. Time would be much better spent reading a book for 2 hours than seeing this garbage. Three stars for Kate, one star for Ralph Finnes portraying the boy as an adult, ZERO for the film.",4 "Cinematography is good however. Very well directed....just sooo dry and english...no real evocative reality. Like watching two old english men trying to get on a bus....""No, no.. you first, I insist."" ""Ohh no, please old lad, you first..."", ""Oh no I wouldnt dream of it, please on you go.."" etc...etc......etc.....",5 I watched about 30 minutes of it. The acting is just plain awful. The water freeing bit was just stupid. I'd rather watch paint dry than watch this drivel.,1 "as an Indian who despises the standard bollywood ""masala"" movies as they are popularly known, I'm always apprehensive when someone advises me to see a Hindi film. lately, however, i've been pleasantly surprised on a few occasions, most notably by khosla ka ghosla. traditional Hindi comedies are slapstick and relating to a failed or flawed romance or some sort of monetary scam, and more often than not a mixture of the two. khosla ka ghosla however deals with a pertinent issue and brings out with genuine humor. i may be slightly biased because it deals with the city i've lived all my life (delhi), but it truly is a masterfully directed movie with superb acting. the depiction of typical idiosyncrasies one finds in families in modern day delhi is at once endearing and hilarious. the dialog delivery, accent and all, is perfect and the casting is par excellence. i've seen this film more than once and i just cant get enough of it, i recommend it highly to one and all and especially to those who are fed up the **** that the Indian film industry has been shoveling us for a long long time.",9 I Can guarantee you that you will cry at least once watching it. Saw the movies thrice already and i think it deserves an oscar. You will not see movies like this in a very very long time. What a masterpiece.,10 "The first few episodes were quite boring to be honest. However once the ""glitching"" started taking place the story got a lot better. Then towards the end, with the last major twist, it turned into a bland mess.",6 I hadn't heard of the series until I saw something on Facebook and I have loved everything about it! I want to read the books but am enjoying the show so will wait and not know what's coming.,10 "Just another boring 'day in the life of..' movie that some people seem to relate to. It went on and on then just ended, they didn't keep contact, it was false and frustrating. But yes, OK if you enjoy soap operas or something, you'll like it. Nothing seems to excite some drained guy in Japan (I cant remember exactly where it was as I was glazing over) so he sits around moping and waits for Scarlet Johanssen to show him a good time. She is bored also, and they go out and drink. The fact that these two actually did SOMETHING and stopped being depressing was quite a relief but again, a very uneventful night in a strip bar and party.. I guess that's what they make of a holiday. Neither of them wanted to be abroad. At the end it's time to say goodbye, and that's it.",2 "I cannot understand at all where the hype for this film is coming from. There is absolutely nothing in this film that has not been done better elsewhere. There is no reason for this film to exist, as far as I'm concerned. The style is seems to riff on Wes Anderson, to the point where he should probably be asking for a royalty. Except it comes across as a ""poor man's"" version of it. And there is a Disney war propaganda cartoon made in 1943 called ""Der Fuehrer's Face"" that captures the exact same essence of ""JoJo Rabbit"" - the absurdity of the Nazi beliefs and Hitler as the buffoon - and does a better job of it. Not many people nowadays have seen that old short, but ""JoJo Rabbit"" basically rips it off (particularly the ""Heil Hitler"" gags). I enjoyed that short cartoon far more then I enjoyed JoJo Rabbit and recommend you check it out. I could perhaps forgive the derivative nature of the film if it was actually clever or funny, but it is neither. The humour is all one-note low brow slapstick. And there is a confusing juxtaposition at play between absurd and completely unrealistic comedy while ALSO trying to insert entirely serious (and old as dirt) messages about war and fascism. The two work together like oil and water. I am coming to the conclusion that the only reason this film got so much attention from the Academy Awards was that it was this years ""woke"" choice - a film where the message trumps the filmmaking. Not recommended at all.",3 "I barely endured season 3 and I'm not sure I will be able to go through with season 4. Ani is the most horrible tv character of all time, anytime she says something its always too cocky and smug that it hurts my ears. Winston is also unbearable but I probably won't watch that long to witness Winston's full capability of arrogance so right now my problem is with Ani. She is the literal worst and I want back my minutes watching her. Whoever write Ani character and the storylines I hope they would change profession I just want a good tv show with good characters",1 This is a drama show. By episode 6 I was ready to stop it. Not enough action. Predictable boring plot with no twists and no suspense. Too much talking and everybody feeling sorry for themselves. Nobody should have to wait to the end of the season for things to pick up. Dont watch this season for action.,4 "I was really enjoying this show, but at some point (during season 3) it got to where I felt genuinely uncomfortable watching the sadistic torture scenes. It just left a bad taste in my mouth, and I never went back. I think this series is trying way too hard to always up the ante.",6 "This movie has Anurag Basu written all over it! The cast itself is so good,it makes the direction and plot look even better! It's rare to see movies with dark comedy do well in Indian cinema but this is brilliant ! Reminded me of Snatch and Departed. Hopefully we will get to see more movies like this made in India in near future!",10 I can't understand the meaning of this film for anyone except a war-loving American.,4 "I've never read the book on which Steven Spielberg's ""Ready Player One"" is based. I had never heard of it until I heard that Spielberg was making the movie. It's half pop culture references (much of it sensory overload, especially since I saw it in 3D), half story of a gamer taking on the CEO. It's nothing profound or complex, but if you like seeing a lot of Easter eggs from the past few decades - both cinema and music - then you'll probably enjoy it.",5 It was great. The series started slow-paced and will eventually go wild and super hyped in the later half of the series. The final episode though did not end that great. It was too weak for me. It was like eating a dry and tasteless dessert after a great dinner. But overall it was great.,8 "Although the 3d effects are real bad, this feature shines in unconventional places. The characters are quirky and lovable (except for Stephen Chow's), the humor is enjoyable and some shots are surprisingly ambitious. A film with a lot of care put into it!",7 "Greetings again from the darkness. Come on ... who wouldn't get excited about a movie that mixes magic with the heist genre, and fills the cast with stars old and new? Director Louis Leterrier (The Transporter) is clearly engaged with the material, and maybe his vision of ""just one more twist"" is what keeps it from reaching the next level. Magic is inherently a very difficult subject for movies. Why? Because with magic, human nature is such that we are always trying to ""catch"" the sleight of hand. With movies, we have come to accept the fact that any special effect is possible. We rarely ask ""how"". That kind of takes away the mystery, eh? Maybe the best magic movie to date is The Prestige, but even that movie was made stronger by the story of its characters ... something this latest lacks. Heist movies, on the other hand, have historically produced some of the most fun and thrilling times on screen. Everyone loves a clever caper ... so long as we aren't on the wrong end. What doesn't work in either genre, and especially when they are blended, is a story that defies logic. We don't mind being tricked. In fact, it's kind of fun getting to the end and realizing you are part of the ""gotcha"". What we don't like is being cheated. The premise is terrific. An unknown benefactor secretly assembles The Four Horsemen - a hand-picked (by a hoodie dude) group consisting of Jessie Eisenberg, the smug super-illusionist; Woody Harrelson, the wise-cracking mentalist; tart escape artist (think Houdini with piranha) Isla Fisher; and street-hustler pickpocket (Artful Dodger type) Dave Franco. The group is bank rolled by industrial tycoon Michael Caine, and is soon enough headlining a giant Las Vegas extravaganza. Their trick is to rob a French bank vault by transporting an audience member, video streaming the job, and showering the audience with the stolen cash. They do this under the watchful eye of magic naysayer Morgan Freeman, a huckster who earns a buck exposing the tricks of magicians. Soon enough, an FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) and Interpol agent (Melanie Laurent) are working together trying to stop the next job, which Morgan Freeman has warned them is really a set-up for a huge finale. The movie has some really fun moments, but with all of Morgan Freeman's warnings that we (and Ruffalo) are always a step behind, we can't help but think ahead ... and there is only one super twist that makes all of this click. In fact, I would argue that there are too many twists here. The basic story was enough and would have benefited from us getting to know the main characters. Instead, they are merely chess pieces who spout one-liners in order. In particular, the characters of Woody Harrelson and Melanie Laurent could have gone much deeper. But that clashes with what the filmmakers were after ... big, fast, wild, glitzy, cute, clever, and twisty. So don't be tricked into thinking. Turn off your brain and take in the wild, twisty ride ... even if it does defy logic, and we know ""it's all part of the show"".",5 "At least as far as science fiction goes. But as a soap drama for teens, it's quite decent i suppose... One impossible situation after another solved at last possible moment, lots of family drama, sprinkled by some young love, and ofc zero regard to science or laws of physics.",2 "I am fine with a show that is dumb and knows its dumb (The Following). And intelligent shows where they know it is intelligent (Person Of Interest, True Detective) but when the show has misconceptions about itself, the result is not pretty. The cast looks stellar and is good enough but is treated badly. I cannot relate to any character nor can I empathize. I hope it gets better for the fans but I may not continue further. I can see why people like this show and have no complains for them but based on my opinion, this show loses its pace early on and gets really boring. I can call Hannibal ""poor man's True Detective"". P.S. big fan of Mads Mikkelson who is stunning at the psychopath.",2 This is the perfect proof of an incredible director that he can deceive the film world with a desperately bad story with a large number of quality actors and make a film that is worth nothing and that everyone praises it. Congratulations on the perfect deception. Please don't make movies anymore. You caan't make up for my lost time.,2 "Painful by all means. Noone would ever see this movie if it weren't famous names in it. 15mins are kinda watchable, first 2 hours felt like a documentary... a bad one. Overall it can be summed up as a lot of scenes poorly connected, plot is nowhere to be found, characters are plain with no depth whatsoever. For this amount of money for the cast they could easily make a whole documentary series about Hollywood in 60's...",2 "Samuel L. Jackson is an excellent actor; he almost all the time is giving humor to the movie. It's a fun film loaded with action while it shows us how a father is trying to protect what he loves most. I liked this movie, it's very entertaining. 👏😎",6 "I almost thought it is a suspense thriller, They are dragging the show after episode 5",7 "What is it about this film? I understand the historic significance, but there's nothing interesting in the way this movie is build nor if you take away the main subject of the film (The movie was fake. The mission was real.) it is just another spy/agent movie. Don't get me wrong - I was entertained, great editing and acting. But when it comes to all it is just America who wants to celebrate ""the great American.."" and of course get Ben Affleck back on the big screen - this time more adult than before. Congrats Hollywood you've managed to celebrate yourself again!",6 "Spy movies in a le Carré vein can be judged on how well they handle issues of deceit and personal loyalty. ""Red Sparrow"" does a solid job of creating a plot that's complex, making us wonder who's deceiving whom, without being so jumbled it doesn't make sense. Solid performances, directing, and -- this I admire -- clear and impactful editing of fight scenes earn this a solid recommendation from me, an aficionado of spy movies. 4 stars out 5, 8 out of 10 for IMDB. The film is violent and sexy in the way ""Marathon Man"" was in the '70s, and while there's no villain here as memorable as Laurence Olivier's Nazi dentist Zel, there are some nice supporting characters. Performances are first rate. Accents didn't bother me one bit. This is an American film geared toward English-speaking audiences. It doesn't need to have dialogue in Russian, as one clueless reviewer suggested. (I think there was one line in Russian at the beginning) Gimmicks like the one used at the beginning of ""The Hunt for Red October"" -- Connery et al speaking Russian until the moment the camera pushes into Connery's mouth and then pulls back and the rest of the movie is in English -- are fine, but not necessary. We've been there and done that. It's good to just get going with the story with dialogue we can understand. I love non-realistic Bond movies for their action, humor, and production value, and I also love gritty spy films like ""The Spy Who Came in from the Cold"" and ""Three Days of the Condor"" (even though Condor is a pure political statement -- unrelated to the actual world of CIA in any way). ""Red Sparrow"" falls somewhere in-between Bond and grittier '60s and '70s spy films. If you're a puritan who hates male and female nudity, then stick with Nickelodeon. And if you're a Russian kleptocrat's lackey who hates the way this film portrays the bankruptcy of modern Russia, then stick with... I don't know... ""Battleship Potemkim."" Reviewers who give ""Red Sparrow"" one-star either have an agenda unrelated to film reviewing on their minds, or they don't know what they're talking about. ""Red Sparrow"" is a worthy entry in the spy movie canon.",8 "First off, I HATE dubbed foreign films. I'd much rather be reading several lines at the bottom of the screen than watching the lips of an actor move out of sync with what's being said. I just find it annoying and pretty off-putting. I tried to get past it though. The trailer makes it look like pretty much any other martial arts movie. In that sense it's wildly misleading. Kung Fu Hustle doesn't really have a strong story, but the story it does have doesn't particularly matter too much. It's all about the visuals and the hilarity. It's pretty brilliant though. It manages to be quite violent and stupidly hilarious at the same time. The film's opening manages to include crime, gangs, amputation and dancing, all within the first two minutes. It doesn't really take itself too seriously and the landlady is a brilliant piece of casting, she's may be the funniest thing in this movie. The chase sequence between her and Sing is both hilarious and amazing. The CGI is pretty great too, although some of it is done awfully for comedic effect, like Sing's swollen lips. It even manages to spoof Spiderman by quoting ""with great power comes great responsibility"". I love the scene with the string instrument. It's so ridiculously stupid and yet extremely clever and entertaining that they use sonic waves as a weapon. One of the best scenes. I was extremely tired when I watched Kung Fu Hustle but it managed to keep me entertained all the way to the end, despite the fact that the dubbing was a real problem for me. http://ukmore.tk/",8 "You know, come the finale of Guy Ritchie's ""update"" of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's much loved super sleuth I was not only bored to almost impending sleep, but also struck with one overriding question; why not just make a Victorian piece about a couple of swanky buddy sleuths and leave out the name Sherlock Holmes? The answer of course is obvious, to me at least, it's a name that sells. Mr Ritchie would most likely tell us that he wanted to bring the great detective to the attention of a whole new generation, whilst simultaneously making it appealing to the ""youth"" of today. Not elementary my dear Mr Ritchie, it's a cash in if you please. A cash in further aided by the casting of the talented and in vogue Robert Downey Jr as Holmes. Whilst casting Jude Law as Watson {so effectively a secondary role that suits Law perfectly} also carries some aesthetic weight for a younger audience. The film does pretty much what one expects of a family blockbuster, in short, simple frothy fun that's sadly devoid of any mystery or intelligence befitting the once Deerstalker attired one. There's action and explosions, even good old fist fights given the Ritchie slow-mo make over, but these are either preceded or followed by long bouts of tedium. Not helped by an unadventurous & dull plot involving Mark Strong's {value for money performance} black magic shenanigans as Lord Blackwood, and the pointless inclusion of the anonymous Rachel McAdams as Holmes' ex love interest Irene Adler. All of which comes together for a rather uninspiring show down on a half built Tower Bridge. The set design is smart and on the money (Sarah Greenwood), as are the costumes (Jenny Beavan), but the same can't be said for the sound mix, which is quite frankly skewy and renders some of Downey Jr's brainy ramblings inaudible. Same for the score, Hans Zimmer goes for bombastic, which would have worked if it wasn't in conjunction with diddly day-diddly doo Celtic music. I mean this is Victorian England right? You could have set the film somewhere Celtic Mr Ritchie-since you have changed most of the essence of the character anyway. Hmm. The sequel is inevitable given that the film has made monster amounts of cash, and no doubt about it, Law & Downey Jr have great chemistry. But this is comic book Sherlock, an attempt at an action comedy mixing brains with brawn. The end result being almost a cure for insomnia. 4/10",4 "Season 2 was absolute crap and I gave up half way through season 3. If you REALLY need to watch this, DO NOT GO BEYOND SEASON 1.

If you are a Marvel fan, you will probably like it, for these -and many more- following reasons: 1-Happy to hear all the voices from the MCU actors. Makes the starting titles interesting; you d wanna see who's in it. 2-The stories are captivating. There's some comedy, action, drama; a good range. 3-There's some great one-liners. New ones and also memorable ones. 4-The pace of each of the episodes is excellent. It really gets you into the story. 5-It does great tribute to MCU's pivotal points. Give it a go, you will enjoy it. 8/10.",8 "A very convincing Henry Cavill as Geralt. The story seems to be done well. I am bored of dragons, werewolves, vampires, and the same garbage thereof. However this one seems to do it right. It is a good adaptation. A large number of Witcher fans will love this.",7 "Okay, 'Gravity' is amazing. That makes it sound like a film that you have to watch, but, on reflection, I'm still not so sure. I sat through the whole ninety minutes of it and I'm still not sure whether I liked it or not. I'm glad I saw it, but I'm not sure I'd ever want to watch it again. It's about two astronauts stranded in space when their shuttle gets struck by debris. First, the good: the two (and only) leads, George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, are both worthy of their A-list reputation and turn in excellent performances. You'll really feel for their plight and be rooting for them to get back to Earth. In fact, the only thing better than their acting is the special effects themselves. Sometimes it feels like you're really there with them as explosions and weightless tools float all about the place. However, the only thing that lets this masterpiece down is the story (or lack of it). They get caught up in one explosion. Escape. Move on to the next explosion. Escape. Then rinse and repeat for an hour and a half. Having only two characters in the film kind of means that you know both won't die otherwise the movie will have to end. 'Gravity' is truly an epic movie in all aspects (apart from the story... possibly). It's definitely in the same league as '2001: A Space Odyssey' in terms of scale, drama and awe. However, what made it so good was also its drawback. Having long drawn-out shots and minimal cast never really felt like a 'story-film' (if you know what I mean). Sometimes I felt like I was at the Epcot Centre in Disney World watching an exhibition on what space was like. Yes, Gravity is breath-taking and will certain be hailed as a modern day classic by many. And, I'm definitely glad I saw it. Will I watch it again? No. Once is enough, thanks. http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/",7 "The score is way too high. I think it got overhyped by some of the game fans but it's nowhere near of what the game delivered. It's not bad at all and there's some very good scenes, some of them improved from the game but most of them was not enough. The whole story feels rushed and you get all the details on a plate. Some elements of the story needs to build up slowly. Also not enough action scenes (I almost forgot that there's an apocalypse happening) and some of the dramatic scenes feels empty like they're trying to imitate the game too much but not in a natural way. All of the above leads to a poor bonding with the characters almost to the point I don't really care about them. The casting of Joel and Ellie in my opinion wasn't great. Pedro and Bella are good actors but they just didn't suit the characters for me. Some of their scenes feel over acted, I felt hard to believe them. If you're not falling in love with these characters and don't identify with them then you miss the whole point of this story. Some good words deserved for the production on the sets design and building the world of the apocalypse beautifully (Despite the lack of infected show) Overall the show is good but the potential of this story is way way higher Than what it delivered. I really wanted to love it but it was lacking emotions and action. Maybe video games shouldn't become TV shows after all.",6 The Boys is full of terrible language and explicit content.,1 "Well that's that on second thought i really enjoyed my self that these alternate possibility are there no one saw what was to be and now they gave this which is kind of assuring in the least that with every decision comes at a price in the multiverse,tight series is really good.",8 "One of the things most viewers will notice first is the camera work and angles. It's shot almost from a POV or first person shooter video game and you almost feel like you're a character in the scene. At other times it's an annoyance and I got tired of the continuous close ups. The story has a good foundation and instead of the usual flashbacks we just get right into it. After the first 30 minutes goes by we have our basic motivations and now the story jumps ahead to present day. There is plenty to like about Pedro and his acting and he gets a little help from his co stars. There is lots of room for improvement and it's possible that it gets better with more episodes. I like it better then The Walking Dead, but that isn't saying much, but it's along the same lines, and there could be 4-5 seasons of this is they stretch things out. Looking forward to seeing how this develops, as there is a decent chance this house of cards could just end up going nowhere, like the From series, and aggravate all the viewers.",2 "With so many stupid people in the world today it's not a wonder MB still have a job... but I don't get it why RR need this... man, Blake is not working anymore? Do you need a yacht or something, wtf???",1 "What a monumental disappointment. The characters have not gravitas. The king speaks in a bored monotone. The princess looks bored, aloof and alas not very pretty. The kings brother (Matt Smith) is entirely miscast. There doesn't seem to be a compelling story here. Why did they not instead make a series of the prequel novel A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms which has a solid main character and story? Whereas the original series action moved at a gallop, the pacing here is barely a trot. I am half way through episode 2 and still nothing has happened. The Hand of the King (Rhys Ifans) manages to make something of his character, but the weak script leaves his performance hollow.",3 Same ol action sequence with common phenomenon. I am tired of seeing jumping from roof top to roof top. Use of too much violence.,2 "This movie could've turned very cliché very fast considering it being an American spy thriller about Russian spies, but somehow it managed to stay grounded. It's an unemotional, unapologetic thriller which takes its characters and lets them have realistic behavior throughout this movie, making the ending even more believable and satisfying. This movie also takes its time to develop its characters and its story. So do not watch it if you're only into fast paced action rides. The action is subtle but given its premise completely sufficient. However, I would've loved a little more complexity in its main story line, given this movie being about spies. But, seeing the already more than the average length of this movie, you wouldn't be able to keep the audiences in their seats. All in all one of the better movies of the year.",7 """Wonder Woman"" is the only DC Comics film I view positively since Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. I was hoping for that to change with ""Shazam!,"" which looked like a light-hearted but self-aware and highly entertaining romp that offered enough freshness to make itself distinct from darker superhero films. The trailers made the film look funny while also seeming to almost parody the superhero genre, almost like a kid-friendly version of ""Deadpool."" However, the film unfortunately didn't really do anything for me. I was expecting a fun time at the movies, but what I got was (despite some fun moments) a tonal misfire that can't figure out what it really wants to do over the course of its narrative. The film follows a bullied foster kid in Philadelphia, who ends up in the lair of a wizard one day while on the subway. When he says the magic word, ""Shazam,"" he turns into an adult superhero, and must stop a power-hungry villain (Mark Strong) and his minions, who are basically evil gargoyle-like creatures modeled after the Seven Deadly Sins. The biggest problem with ""Shazam!"" is its tone, as the film bounces between breezy and light comedy and darker moments in an erratic and knee-jerk way. The film's funny scenes are light--in some moments, they can almost be too light to the point that they degrade the dramatic stakes--whereas its darker moments are (surprisingly) rather intense at times. These two tones don't really mesh well given the juxtaposition of scenes in each type of tone, which creates for an uneven viewing experience. There is also no reason why this movie needed to be 2 hours and 12 minutes, given the relatively minimal plot. DC movies have always (generally) been lengthy, but the substantial plot imperative to the film's narrative is incredibly skimpy given the runtime. In fact, one probably could have edited this movie down to 90 minutes and not really missed anything. The film's humor is surprisingly not very funny, and just feels too juvenile and kid-focused. While this movie was always supposed to be more family-targeted than most comic book movies, this type of stuff pales to the humor in the lighter MCU movies because that humor makes audiences across many age groups laugh, whereas the jokes here are laser-focused on targeting the middle-school crowd while leaving anyone older than that in the dust. I wanted to like this movie since it looked like an entertaining time at the movies, but unfortunately this was a disappointment. I will say, however, that many in the packed audience this afternoon did seem to eat it up. 4/10 Note: I saw this film in RealD 3D, which added absolutely nothing to the viewing experience.",4 "1) Shooting people seems easier than hand to hand combat. 2) Social commentary.",2 This wasn't what I expected but it's a good starting hope it gets better with the remaining episodes.,7 I really liked how creative the movie is. Storytelling was also very original and interesting. I hated the girl personally and didn't had any feelings towards what happened but all I can say is that this movie contains very creative and original ideas in every way.,7 "Too bad. The idea is full of potential, but sadly is marred by hollow characters and contrived, 'disney' plot(ting along). The badperson is irritating and unrealistic. The values all-american. Which is a missed opportunity to show a future that is more internationally connected, realistic. Now it's just silly and bad storytelling. Your time is better spend on a series like the expanse. Which the writers of this pile should consult for a second seasoning",2 "This was quite a boring an unnecessary movie. I agree with Scorsese that superhero movies are shallow but are your run-of-the-mill mafia movies much better? The plot here was very predictable and the actors are glaringly too old anyway. Plus, none of the characters are likable or even interesting. I expected something much better.",2 The movie really makes us not to move an inch from out seats... Best crime thriller in tollywood. The BGMs in the movie are so effective... I suggest all to watch this movie,10 "Boy, Mr. Bacon nailed his unscrupulous, but smart, character in this captivating series about Boston crime and politics. All the actors were wonderful. I keep looking for awards for this show and its actors, but I don't see any. Weird. Maybe because of the pandemic? Some standout acting here. Should be recognized by the industry -- not just us viewers. Thanks to all involved in writing, production, photography, costumes, etc. Great job.",8 "I've recently read that Disney were disquited that a black comedy satirizing Nazi Germany would alienate modern audiences. I can imagine it, I suppose. One side might be offended by the mere sight of Nazi iconography - regardless of context or intent - while the other side (let's face it) has a few factions which feel attacked when a film portrays overtly Nazi or Nazi-inspired figures as evil. Disney sure has come a long way since The Führer's Face. I seem to recall, also, that people foresaw a success from Jojo Rabbit, directed by Taika Waititi, who returns to the land of quirky comedy after peppering the superhero genre with it in Thor: Ragnarok. It seems, however, that its impact was pretty lukewarm. To me, it is a shame. Jojo Rabbit does what too few modern comedies do, letting its visuals create almost as much of the humour as the satirical dialogue and performances - through editing, framing, strange title cards, and what-have-you. Almost every YouTube video essayist will cite The Cornetto Trilogy as the prime example, but Waititi also gets that a truly striking comedy will also be fun to look at. We need more than just comedians being themselves in front of a camera, lest we see more insipid Schumer vehicles à la last year's I Feel Pretty. Waititi himself plays Adolf Hitler, or at least how he appears to a young 1940's Hitler Youth lad named Johannes (Roman Griffin Davis), who just doesn't know any better. This Adolf is a childish imaginary friend, because how bad could Hitler really be if most of the nation admires him? The supporting cast provides more flare than they might have done in a more mainstream film, even if we mostly know them as the modern greats, including Sam Rockwell and Scarlett Johansson, the latter playing Jojo's single mother (the father, we're told, is serving in Italy but is rumored to be a deserter and disgrace). Stephen Merchant is an amusing choice as the leader of a Gestapo group, Rebel Wilson made me chuckle more than usual as a Hitler Youth counselor, and Thomasin McKenzie (get this) plays a Jewish girl whom Jojo eventually has to hide in his house. As I said at the top, this film might also irritate both sides of the aisle for different reasons. Someone might whine that laughing at a Holocaust comedy means you would also laugh if said historical event were to repeat itself. Someone like Armond White might wonder why the movie didn't make fun of fans of the Obama administration instead. More legitimate complaints involve the film being ""declawed"" as far as black comedy goes, and that it doesn't necessarily confront the ideology behind the Third Reich with much depth or vitriol, nor are they satisfied with its parallels to present-day political idolatry and xenophobia. Many critics feel that the comedy largely comes down to ""Hey, look, it's Hitler but he's acting all goofy"". Fortunately for Waititi, some might be offended either way (see above). And a lot of us will no doubt laugh. He's a particular type of weirdo, that Taika, successfully turning something awful and serious into something outstandingly wacky. He is funny enough in the role, too. Alas, the next Chaplin he is not. Yet.",7 "Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) hatches an ill-conceived plan to have his wife kidnapped, and use ransom money shelled out by his wealthy father-in-law to finance his solo business venture. Human stupidity ensures that every single element of the plan fails catastrophically. Fargo marks the Coens' acceptance by the mainstream. The award nominations showered upon it and its widespread critical acclaim may have set high expectations from viewers, whom, upon inspection shrug in disappointment, failing to find either the verbal gold of Big Lebowski and Miller's Crossing, or the visual wizardry of O Brother Where Art Thou and The Man Who Wasn't There. Of all their films, Fargo might be the most palatable to mainstream sensibilities, but that does not diminish its qualities as a film. In technical terms, this marks their first collaboration with cinematographer Roger Deakins after regular DP Sonnenfeld left to pursue a directing career, and it is quite a leap from the stylish tones of Miller's Crossing to the controlled, washed out landscapes of Fargo. Just as impressive, but more understated, the sign of artists fully coming into their own and confident in the key ingredients of their product. The screenplay is a work of art, the verbal sparring and control of language beyond peer, and like the world's greatest orchestra, the cast perform this symphony to perfection. Macy is hopelessly fascinating as the least capable man in human history, and Stormare and Buscemi team up as the weirdest kidnappers ever to grace the screen. People cannot seem to lavish enough praise on Frances McDormand, and it is true that she allows a beautiful character to blossom beyond expectations. The Coens' one concession to mainstream audiences - a likable, grounded protagonist - is one of the most original main characters in cinema. Like all their films, it adds up to so much more than you might think upon first viewing, and serves as an ideal starting point to explore their work. A classic!",10 "Absolute amazing series, characters portrayed very well, gripping, entertaining, action, great comedy! A series am sure to go far! Karl Urban at his best!",9 "Ridiculous!!! Its impossible that this movie was awarded last night as the Best Movie. Very boring movie... a lot of time waiting that something happens, but nothing happened. The message that ""war is a drug"" I think its bad!!!! The ending was depresing but not unexpected... it is very predictable.It was a waste of time honestly. I was expecting some kind of movie as Slumdog Millionaire, but not this crap. Im proudly that Id watched the movie in a web site and didn't waste my money on it. VERY DISAPONTED!!!!",3 "The movie had me connected from the start, but turned into what I dreaded it would. The venom stories are dark, gritty and gore. This movie cares way to much about its ratings. Its just cheerfully, way too upbeat and easy to watch. It feels like it was targeted for a very young audience. The conversations are weak, and the overal plot is paper thin. The bad guy is known right from the start and a child could predict every step the movie is going to make. Originality was thrown out the window, when we got just another explosion crazy, cliché, children's movie. Marvel has become predictable. This was a waste of my time. I would not recommend this to anyone in general, but if i had to I would advise it if your 14 or a big Marvel fanboy.",4 "I can sum up my view of the film in 3 words: long, disjointed, disappointing. Don't get me wrong - I think Christopher Nolan is without doubt one of the cleverest and most imaginative film-makers in the mainstream industry. This is more a case of franchise fatigue than anything else. Batman Begins was superb: a truly great and rewarding superhero movie which took us away from the previous comic-book adaptations with an intelligence and character depth not seen before. The Dark Knight - the central performances aside - fell a long way short of that initial promise. The Dark Knight Rises takes it up a few notches again... but that's all. Part of the problem, for me, is that Nolan over-complicates what is, on paper, a very basic story. Too many layers, too many build-ups that don't pay off. And although Anne Hathaway is both a good actress and a gorgeous screen presence - just what, really, was the point of the whole 'Catwoman' part of the film? I don't feel that it added very much. If anything, it over-burdened what was already a cumbersome plot. At one point, just about half-way through, I heard the chap next to me whisper to his partner 'Do you know what's going on?' It seems she didn't, really. If they'd then both turned to me for an answer, I couldn't have given one - and I managed to follow Inception without too many problems. I gave up trying to follow the plot around this time and just concentrated on the action, of which there was a decent amount - though with long, meandering, haunch-aching gaps in between. Some of that, too, was disappointing. Some of the fight sequences - especially between Batman and Bane - felt really heavily stage-managed: carefully choreographed moves with little hint of spontaneity. It IS all choreographed, of course. The point is, it's not supposed to be obvious. One further thing that spoiled it for me: it doesn't help if one of your main characters wears a chunky mask over his nose and mouth for the whole movie. The sound quality of the cinema where I saw this was excellent. Even so, many of Tom Hardy's lines were muffled and incoherent. It rather detracted from the invincible image he was supposed to be presenting - like Mussolini giving an address with a handkerchief stuffed in his mouth. Christian Bale gave his best, as usual. But even with him, there was a sense of his becoming jaded with the whole thing - like he'd played it for all it was worth, and there really wasn't much more to add. Christopher Nolan has said that he has no plans to take the story any further. So, this looks like being the end. I hate to have to say it, but it's probably not before time. RIP Batman.",5 "What appeared to be an awesome comedy series till season 5, then lost the steam after 6th season. Similar to another tv series The big bang theory. I would have recommended this tv series for everyone. But I lost interest after season 6 started. No more comedic punches, or silly gigs or anything that made this must see tv series till season 5. Special mention to Mr Ty Burrell. He is an awesome actor . When the kids were young, this tv series was way more fun",6 "Great show, desperate to watch season 2 BUT please please please, no more people doing stupid things just to advance the plot. It works the first time I watched the show but it really makes watching it a second time borderline annoying when they happen. Still, it's not nearly as bad as Nightflyers which had allegedly intelligence scientists and engineers behaving like idiots. It's the difference between 'oh please' and 'oh for fcks sake I can't watch this anymore'.",7 "Flat jokes, flat storyline, no chemistry between MJ and PP... not worth the watch. If you do want to see it dont go with hopes up, it is fine for average action flick.",2 "Audience member here, not a critic, here to tell you that this movie sucks. Go watch like any other super hero movie. Or your local high schools improv comedy club. Both will be better than this.",3 It's ok good watch but nothing special like most people making out,1 Season 1 is more of an intro into the crazy road you're going to in bark in this show. The real real story starts in part 2 giving you the real true nature of JoJo. I don't want to spoil much but the clear best part is part 4. With amazing characters and great story telling part 4 makes you feel like you're experiencing the events un fold. Really where the show hits it's peak.,9 "After watching the first two episodes then I have to say I am extremely disappointed with the low quality lacklustre performances. The script is idiotic and the acting, if you can call it such, is so poor that it is boring and annoying. The added canned laughter also adds to the low quality - adding laughter when nothing funny is happening just exasperates the lack of any ideas by the production team. All the characters are wooden, bland and boring stereotypes just further adding to the dumbing down that this show induces. I can't see how any MARVEL fan will enjoy this nonsense as it is even too dumb for children to watch and the only achievement by the show is to destroy the characters of Wanda & Vision who will now just be seen as a joke for evermore. The budget for each episode was reported to be a massive $25 million which makes it the most expensive television series in history. The end product implies the budget is actually more like 25 dollars! This puerile rubbish looks like it was written by 6 year old, in about 10 minutes and is an insult to the MARVEL universe and all MARVEL fans! If I could give this show zero stars then I would but the lowest score is one star which I begrudgingly gave. Let's hope that this is not a sign of the ""quality"" of any future MARVEL projects otherwise their fan base will just dwindle away. Update: after 8 episodes and it is still a boring, lacklustre show. Only reason I still watch it is because I am a huge MARVEL fan and don't want to miss anything but if this is a taste of what MARVEL are going to be doing then maybe it is time to turn to the darkside and favour DC...",1 "I only saw the trailer, and it looks like a decent show. Except that it wasn't before 14,000 years ago that people's skins 'started' getting pale.",5 An Overrated Show.....Loki Was Far Better Than This....,1 "It's horrific if you have to pause a movie every ten minutes because it's just so damned slow. This is the quietest, most-whispered, languid summer blockbuster I've ever seen. I'm all for introspection and longer shots, but that's different than a movie that takes its time to say nothing important. There are a few exciting scenes but they're few and far between. Adding to the problems are a plot that is literally ""titular character = bad,"" and a couple other smaller b-plots that don't really go anywhere nor do they make you want to find out where they're leading. This review is scathing because I wanted this movie to be good. I was rooting for it, especially with the great cast, cinematography, special effects. But it ranks up there with Dark Phoenix as ""slowest blockbuster of the summer.""",6 "Avengers: Age Of Ultron is an exciting sequel to the 2012 movie even though it doesn't quite live up to the original. The plot is that Tony Stark and Bruce Banner accidentally create an AI called Ultron. He says that he wants to save the world but his idea of saving means destroying the world so the team has to get together and stop him. Firstly, this is not a bad movie. I liked it a lot. Each character gets their chance to shine and the action scenes are magnificent. The final battle is epic and entertaining. The movie is computer animated but it didn't bother me at all. Also, a particular character's death scene near the end is unexpected and sad. But I had a huge issue with the movie's comedy. Marvel sometimes puts one-liners and comedy relief in. Sometimes it works but other times it doesn't. The movie has a lot of one-liners and I found most of them not to be funny. Also, some of them felt really out of place. They would be in battle fighting for their lives and some of them would just be making jokes desensitizing the viewer to any impending fear of death in battle. If the characters seem so relaxed then what suspense is needed to be held by the audience. It feels really out of place. Also, I had an issue with the script. I don't want to say too much because I want to keep this review spoiler free. But I will say that it feels very rushed and unorganized. There are a few completely unnecessary side plots. There are also some useless characters that could've been removed because they really don't impact the story overall. Also, the villain was a massive letdown in Marvel's growing pile of mishandled super villains. In conclusion, this movie has positives. If you like cgi action scenes then you'll enjoy this because the movie handles the special effects nicely. But if you were looking for a deep story which the trailer promised then you'll be massively disappointed.",4 "Awesome movie. Never expected a superstar like Shah Rukh Khan to take such a risk, and that too during a phase where his movies were being criticized and people were busy questioning ability to act any more. He answers them all at once- with two different and powerful characters. If Aryan Khanna is intense, brooding and self-righteous superstar; Gaurav is the innocent and crazy fan who goes through a heartbreak and makes up his mind to vent out his anger on the superstar for what he had to go through. Aryan Khanna's character may win your hearts too because it has been portrayed terrifically by SRK but it won't convince you to take him back home since is loosely based on Khan's life himself- dancing at weddings and having stage shows all around the globe; so it is very much like watching SRK himself- just a little fictionalized version. However, Gaurav will make you root for him, will give you chills and will get all your sympathies. He is adorable, he is emotional and he is very much like any of us in the crowd trying to get noticed by the one matters the most.",9 "Visually, this mini series is stunning. That's all there is, though. For me, the first episode was a bit entertaining, the next four were just boring. But I don't take this as much of a negativity - they took a disaster and tried making it into an entertaining show. There's only so much one can do. I'm mostly bothered with the following two major points. 1. It all looks like USA propaganda from the cold-war era. Visually, they created a Soviet Union that looks like a world from a Hollywood post-apocalyptic movie. The onl ything we needed was Will Smith and a dog, figthing the evil (Soveits) that was left after humans dissapierd. Every single shot of every single human structure (apart from the presidental palace) looks like nobody has been there for 50 years. Everyting is rusty, dirty, paint falling of, about to fall apart, nothing works. All people are grumpy, angry, mean, dirty, etc. It looks like the makers of this series really wanted to poot horns on these evil communists, but this would be a bit too politically incorrect. 2. To me, it comes of as anti-nuclear propaganda. In reality, nuclear technology is the opposite, it's maybe the best source of energy we have, also taking into account impact to the environment and the number of people it directly or indirectly affect in a negative way. After watching this series, nuclear looks like the biggest evil there is. Well, after the Soviets of course.",5 "Poor acting and story. Kind of entertaining, though. Never played the game, so the story isnt that appealing. A lot of it was senseless and not important for the context.

Incredibly boring, I literally was dragging nails. Two thumbs way down.",1 "Disney did an incredible disservice to its animated predecessor. Have you ever heard the term, if it ain't broke, don't fix it? If only Disney had done that. This was nothing for than a blatant money grub. It was an exact replica of the previous movie. There was nothing special about it. The big death, which is supposed to be the most emotional moment in the movie, left me with a bored, ho hum straight face. Disney took a classic masterpiece that did not need excessive special effects or CGI, it was a pure movie made with heart. They completely destroyed a classic for absolutely no reason other than bragging rights and trying to give exposure to the ever fading Beyoncé. Beyoncé, you're still beautiful but your time as the top dog singer has passed. You've made you're millions, now stop trying to squeeze every last penny of your career into this boondoggle excuse of a movie. My advice? Don't see it. You'll never look at the original the same.",3 "An absolute mess! Picture a boring script getting torn to shreds and neglectfully taped back together while missing key elements. Boring and dull portions seem to have been emphasized. Plot felt like it was deprived of everything that could have made it decent. Despite headaches from his constant screaming, Sandler delivers a fair performance and depicts his character quite well. He is not to be blamed for this disasterpiece.",2 """It's not a film of Amaya. It is Amaya. She's alive."" ""But she's not alive. She's a computer simulation."" ""Explain the difference."" ""She's going through fixed motions."" ""As are you. As am I. As is everything else."" Loved the elements of philosophy, modern physics, and Silicon Valley in this intelligent science fiction mini-series. The central premise, that everything in the universe is acting essentially like a ball on a billiard table when struck - that is, deterministically, albeit with many more variables - is fascinating. It begs the question, do we really have free will? It's mind-boggling to think about that, and it's mind-boggling to conceive of a computer capable of modelling it all in a way that allows both forward and backward projection, and that's the premise here. I was also caught completely off-guard by some elements of drama that director (and writer) Alex Garland gives us starting in the very first episode, and it was in a good way. It's a very strong cast too, led by Sonoya Mizuno and including so many fine characterizations that it would be tedious to list them all out. There were a few moments of questionable motivations (even taking into account the film's premise, ha!) and I was not a fan of how it ended, but this is a smart, worthwhile series.",8 "It's one of those cute, not too gory, not too contrived but neatly packed murder mysteries.

At least the main character Eleven looks normal.",6 "I'm no fan of Wes Anderson movies and Grand Budapest Hotel is sadly no exception.

Loved Vinay Pathak's range as an actor. Milind Soman was a little irritating and was not at all convincing, I just wanted him to disappear from the screen. Rajat Kapoor and Vinay Pathak alone were doing a pretty good job. And anywayz its an out n out Vinay Pathak movie. Oh and by the way its a scene by scene copy of a french film by the name of ""The Dinner game"" so that spoiled it for me a little bit since I already knew what was gonna happen next. But good watch nonetheless although the makers of the film definitely do not deserve the accolades for their originality!!! And thats all I gotta say abt this one but have to fill up the ""requirement"" of a minimum of 10 lines. That should do it I guess!!",6 "Let me say it straight – Iron Man 2 is good, not great. I definitely liked it but nowhere as much as the first film. Specifically, Iron Man 2's plot does not seem that interesting and as such the narrative relied on special effects for impact in certain scenes. No matter how fantastic or bombastic action and effects could get, they just don't help the storytelling very much. The new antagonists – Justin Hammer and Whiplash – are both weak and not compelling. They both pale in comparison to Obadiah Stane (brilliantly played by Jeff Bridges) in terms of personality and antagonism. Don Cheadle as Col. Rhodes/War Machine never felt like he belonged in the film and the more he appeared on screen, the more I wished Terence Howard was back. I also felt that the comedy in this film seemed forced. While the first flick made me laugh or smile, the sequel did not amuse me very much. While Robert Downey, Jr.'s performance as Tony Stark is worth praise, I find it weird that Stark now seemed more psychotic…a far change from the conflicted man he was before. Aside from Downey's stellar performance, the other big redeeming value was the film's adaptation of character elements from the critically acclaimed Iron Man comic storyline Demon in a Bottle. In that storyline, Stark was portrayed with an addiction to liquor and this concept was nicely portrayed in Iron Man 2. Expect to see Robert Downey, Jr. drink and drink a lot. Having waited two years for Iron Man 2, I felt a bit disappointed. I tried to like the film. It is not a bad movie, but more of a less compelling continuation. The distraction scenes (leading to the Avengers) and the improved action scenes simply could not lift the film's weak story. Adding insult to injury, the final battle with Whiplash is totally unsatisfying to watch. As long as you don't set your expectations very high, Iron Man 2 can be enjoyable. Clearly its presentation is different from the first film, and that made it less enjoyable for me. While you watch Iron Man 2 in the theater, I'll just replay Iron Man on my DVD player. Score: 6.5/10",7 "Dreadful script, no plot, one-dimensional characters, repetitive action, repetitive visuals. I couldn't care less about what happened to either of the people. I estimate it took about one day of George's time and four days for Sandra Bullock to get her hysterics right and her hot pants to fit correctly. Then off the the CGI studio, and hey, you have a movie! It might be the worst movie of all time, but then that's Hollywood. I've just had a notice that I have to write 10 lines of text. For a film this awful, that's quite a challenge. Still here goes. Opening captions 'There is no oxygen in space' beats the 'Mediterranean Sea' caption at the start of the otherwise excellent Bourne series. Final shot out of focus with our hot-panted Sandra going nowhere. Everything in between was just as dreadful. Although I laughed out loud every time she pulled out a manual to work out how to 'fly' the space station. Reminds me of happy hours wasted trying to fix my old Morris Minor. Otherwise I struggled to keep awake - but as I couldn't believe the film was so bad, I thought I owed it to my grandchildren - so I could say, 'Yes - I was there, and I lived through it - just.'",1 "I didn't hate this film, but I certainly didn't love it...or like it a lot. I had the pleasure of seeing four of the five movies nominated for ""Best Picture"" (all but The Lord of the Rings), and of those I would rate it number four. Again, not to see it was bad, but it wasn't Best Picture winner quality by any means. Or maybe it was so insanely Best Picture winner mainstream it was annoying. Moulin Rouge was fantastical and original. Gosford Park was exceptionally witty. In the Bedroom tore at your emotions with stellar acting. A Beautiful Mind had good acting, not even great acting. I'm sure I'm a little bias because I hate Russell Crowe because he's such an ass, but all the characters were so one-dimensional. The only part in the movie I moved at all was when the baby was drowning, and that could have stirred me even in the epitomy of all badness: Bowfinger. Very very very very AVERAGE.",3 This sequel did not get anything right. It isn't terrible but nothing seems to quite land. The story is essentially uninteresting and the humor is too slapstick and not funny.,4 "A quirky genre-bending caper with a political bent seems right up David O. Russell's alley. Unfortunately, this movie just never gels. At all. It feels like 10 different movies with 10 different casts, even if those casts are flat out jaw-dropping. I enjoyed some of those movies more than others (e.g. The farcical scenes when Russell pretended to be Wes Anderson), but every time I started getting interested in a plot or enjoying a performance, the whole thing swerved. And more often than not it served right off the road. Also, was Bale doing a Peter Falk impersonation? I kept waiting for him to light a cigar and say, ""Just one more thing...""",5 Great comeback in terms of acting specially as a die hard fan turned into enemy..... Srk rocked the first half but the second half took some pace of it..... Superstar srk left no stone unturned to act his best but still defeated by his own fan avatar.....other persons played cameo but some are just typical bollywoody. The action sequences were exaggerated a bit and i think no superstar is superhero as shown in the movie if they are then they must not need the stuntmen.....but lets forgive it because it is not an art film....so some entertaining masala is acceptable..... Some punchlines are good and make you clap and the ending makes you feel a little upset that you may think that the director should have ended it in other way..... Nothing to say about story and other stuffs just see srk acting like before......,7 Every single min was perfect..... this makes the story way too interesting now,10 "This movie definite qualifies as one of the BEST teen movies in my book. It is very different from the usual teen movies with crude jokes churned out from Hollywood... ie. American Pie, Road Trip and etc. Yes, it is a breath of fresh air. It is funny and romantic at the same time. Recommended for people looking for some thing new or different. Even Hollywood have noticed this special movie. Dreamworks has bought the rights to remake this movie. Can't wait to see the Hollywood version. Only hope they don't screw up.",10 "Great Inspirational movie after long time ! Hats Off to Nagraj sir , Big B and all cast/crew of the movie. This is masterpiece which was missing in Bollywood since long time. Please go and watch this movie on priority. This will win Oscar for sure .",10 Just bad. Made for 8 year olds. Maybe it's time to stop making Marvel movies.,3 "The Fabelmans is loosely based Steven Spielberg's childhood growing up in Ohio, Arizona, and California in the 1950s and 60s. It's a love letter to cinema, a heartfelt tribute to his parents and family, and is a story of growing up, maturing, and following your dreams; in that sense it's very Spielberg. It's a deeply personal journey we're taken on by the man himself, in effect showing us his own origin story (or 'fable') with no doubt some dramatic embellishments. It is sometimes just a tad sugary and perhaps a rose tinted view of youth, but who would deny him a bit of nostalgia? I'd say this is one of Speilberg's best films, and though perhaps not up to the absolute classics, if like myself you are a lifelong cinema lover, then The Fabelmans should resonate strongly. All round, it's a wonderful film and tremendously well cast, especially the parents, and newcomer Gabriel LaBelle as Sammy Fabelman, and there are many great supporting performances too. Written and directed sensitively, the film is packed with the sort of memorable moments you expect from Mr S, though it is of course essentially a small scale family drama, so it might not satisfy some who want thrills or less intimacy etc. I left the cinema with a spring in my step and on an emotional high, and knew I'd seen something special.",9 "The story started out as any hero in the making comic but it has also fallen for every hero in the making trap, each villain is stronger and just gets stronger. It's like playing an MMORPG it will just continue to a stronger version where the hero also grows stronger and once he beats this one it starts all over again. It will be an endless cycle of grow stronger while the villains get stronger until all the money has been killed out of the series and people move on to the next thing. My recommendation is watch it if you have nothing else to watch or if you are gonna watch it casually once a week when it comes, or be prepared to watch it while forwarding through it a lot.",6 "Wanda annoys me so much, I forgot that she was in this because I had only seen a short teaser and understood it to be a continuation of the multiverse elements of no way home. It was so annoying. All of Wanda's motives from Civil War onwards have been so convoluted, whiny and confusing, she honestly makes women look bad. Can we PLEASE get some halfway decent female characters? It 2022!",3 "Can anyone explain me something? How come in the end of the movie when he wakes up in his bed and leaving for work... why is everything happening the same way??? His car standing in the same position and it's spoiled by the other car.... the train... people.... How come he met Winslet there? Lots of time has passed. He met that girl in the beginning, spent a month or so with her, got operated... But it seems like he got back in time in that very day and everything began from the start. That's the only thing that made me confused. Though it's a great movie and everyone should see it. I watched it in the movies, now gonna buy a DVD to watch it at home cause it worth that. One of the best films by Jim Carrey The Great.",6 OMG what I just saw..what a boring s.. was that..Niro and Al Pacino..why they just don't retire peacefully..and everyone would remember for the old times..,2 "Dreadful from start to finish this. Same old same old. Its not that its badly made..at times it even passes for mediocre but the thing for me is this.. Each and every actor miscast...really bad acting..like a B movie . Very bad plot..ridiculous in the extreme with no constructed story. Bad script..all the wrong words at the wrong time. Full to the brim of all the regular jumpy stuff..orphanage, crucifix,devil eyes,possession,stupid plastic doll.Monster voices...all there for you to yawn over. Same movie we have seen a million times before , just with a different title. As scary as a cute fluffy kitten. If you're a 15 year old female then you might be a likkle bit scared...anybody else will use all of their seat and not just the edge.",2 "Yes, Winslet is good. She is always good. She is one of my favorite actors. The other actors are really good too. I have just watched the second episode, and somehow it creeped on me as I was watching that there is so much that comes from Happy Valley, the crime drama set in Yorkshire and written by the incredible Sally Wainwright and with Sarah Lancashire playing the main character ( Catherine Cawood, on which to me, Mare is based -- Catherine's daughter has killed herself. Catherine is raising her grand son. The grandson's biological father is a criminal. Catherine's husband has left her and is remarried or about to get remarried. Catherine is a police officer in a terrible run down working class town in Yorkshire, with a lot of crime etc etc. ). Then there are also some wiffs of Broadchurch too (the husband of the woman police officer being the main culprit, and another male detective arriving from somewhere else to help with the investigation, hence the conflict between the two.) , so I was not surprised at all when Erin's friend told the other police woman that Erin's baby was probably Mare's ex's baby. It was so obvious already when he (Frank) called her back and asked her about Erin and sneaked in a comment about how he sensed that things were not alright at home. He was her maths teacher. I could feel already that something was going on. So, if things are already getting so obvious from episode 2, I wonder how boring it is soon going to become. Now, the character of the writer and professor of creative writing at some college nearby, another borrowing from Sally Wainwright, but this time from Last Tango in Halifax. This time the ex-husband of the character played by Sarah Lancashire again. All this is so obvious, it just can't be a coincidence. What I would like is for the creators of Mare of Easttown to at least acknowledge their dues to the authors they are ripping off. It happens so often in American movies and series and never any acknowledgement is written, and thanks given, and copyrights paid, because the American audience don't even know where the ideas come from, what the original movie or series was. It is pathetic! I bet the American average viewer here only accepts Winslet in the main role here because they know her from Titanic, don't they. They always have to have an actor they can recognize, otherwise they are lost. I bet few would know who Sarah Lancashire is. Just saying.",6 "When the initial episodes of 'Only Murders in the Building' started raking in 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, I must confess that I was skeptical that Steve Martin and co could keep up the quirky fun nature of this comedy-thriller series till the last episode. But Martin Short, Selena Gomez and him form an unlikely yet rambunctious trio who keep us hooked and entertained till the very last episode of this brilliantly written, infectiously funny series. Steve Martin and a fantastic Martin Short star as a pair of geriatric has-been performers who run into a young gild (Gomez) who also happens to be a fellow murder podcast fanatic. How this rag-tag trio come together to solve a strange murder that takes place in their apartment forms the rest of this story. Although some comedy-investigative series' have had huge fan bases like Monk (2002-09) and Psych (2006-14) this genre has always been a tightrope walk that most creators shy away from. Finding humor in the most unlikeliest of places and filled with unexpected twists and turns and a host of delectable supporting characters, it is no surprise that Steve Martin was also one of the creative geniuses behind the writing of this work. Leaving us on a tantalizing knife-edge with a cliffhanger climax, I cannot wait for Season 2. Well worth the 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating. An immensely bingeable, suspenseful, laugh riot! Highly recommended!",9 "The most pointless movie I've ever seen. Chaotic, bad lines, poor editing, bad story line, and 80% bad acting. It was really hard to watch with interest. I was hoping for much better, and I like Ryan Reynolds, but I suggest not wasting your time unless you like a lot of noise and pointless scenes for 2 l o n g hours!",2 "'A disfunctional family, carrying overburden over the main job and still main job as topmost priority of the protagonist , and in each part changing the suspects from viewers point of view' these are the props generally used in detective thriller series . ""Broadchurch"",""killing"" are the good ones following the template. Mare of east town matches them with impeccable performance of kate winslet. She brings stress in her eyes, her body and the viewer easily feel her even when she is doing something stupid something wrong. Watch it for kate.",8 "It isn't as good as the original but Iron Man 2 is still a really good sequel. Robert Downey Jr. once again gives an incredible performance and is extremely charismatic. Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson and Sam Rockwell all give great performances. Jon Favreau's direction is really good and it's consistently funny. The CG is impressive and the music by John Denney is good. However, Mickey Rourke is wasted as a forgettable villain and the final battle is a little short.",7 "A lot is being said about this film and If this was an original film i would have agreed with everyone but I dont understand one thing...everyone is bashing hindi films because they are making remakes and are criticised for lack of originality. This person calls it an adaptation of a novel but ends up making a copy remake of a foreign film 'burutasu no shinzou' which was made in 2011and puts some old songs and few changes, and everyone starts singing praises. Baffling and double standards!! Yes if you will take good actors then you will get a good result. But it's high time we stop praising films just for the sake of it. Personally also the film didn't work on a lot of levels and aspects just felt forced. Calling it noir or neo noir genre is just too much! Time to move past created images of so called genius directors.",3 "When you hire hack writers who try to 'adapt' rather than 'create', you get moldy toast. All the production Money in the world can't overcome a weak script. Seriously - horses hooves ... trivial and rambling dialogue that seems rushed to get through like it is some chore. Almost ZERO character development, like everyone should already know who is who and what their roles are. Glib and annoying supporting actors like, they are going to die soon so who cares. A total travesty, keep the main actor and start over - who approved this mess",5 "Superbad is about three high school seniors who are desperately trying to get laid at a graduation party before moving on to college, and being separated from each other. Their plans go horribly wrong, and they must escape from cops, drunk people, hobos and more, before they can get to the party. This movie was ""hyped-up"" a hell of a lot. I heard that it would be the funniest thing I've ever seen. It was incredibly funny, and I loved some of the dialogue. The two funniest characters in this movie are easily the cops, played by Seth Rogen and Bill Hader. But the story around the two main characters is very funny as well. However, this is not the funniest movie I've ever seen and it's not even the funniest of 2007 (that would be Knocked Up). It probably is the second funniest, which is still quite a statement. The one reason that Superbad failed to exceed ""Kocked Up"" is maturity. Whenever you hear a funny joke, the fact that it's actually mature can make it even funnier. Knocked Up got immature at times, but was also a very coming-of-age type of romance movie. It feels weird saying that, but it is true. But anyway, Superbad, definitely go see it. It's hilarious, and a great experience, but don't expect TOO much, or else you might be disappointed.",8 This most definitely gathers pace and ends on a high. Well shot and relatable characters I found myself thinking about this between episodes. Great watch if you have a jumpy partner to enjoy with.,8 Jennifer is a new spy in mission to find a mole. Nice thriller but the convoluted plots are a bit hard to swallow. Too many killed also to be believable in this millenium. The stakes do not appear to be worth one dead. So it comes out more as gratuitous cruelties.,7 "It's a psychological drama set in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the late 1980s. Ann Bishop Mullany (Andie MacDowell) is an around-30 housewife married to a successful newly-promoted junior partner lawyer, John Mullany (Peter Gallagher). She is a quite uptight and unhappy person and no longer welcomes her husband's touch. John is a compulsive lier who is having a torrid affair with Ann's unmarried younger sister, Cynthia (Laura San Giacomo). Cynthia is an extroverted, artistic, and impulsive bartender. Into their life comes Graham Dalton (James Spader), John's former college roommate who John has not seen for nine years. Graham is softspoken, but very direct in his demeanor, and asks probing questions. Ann learns that Graham's ""project"" is to interview women on videotape about their sexual history and desires. Cynthia and John also subsequently learn about this. Each of them responds differently, with profound impact on all their relationships. This is a film that could only have been made in the 1980s and 1990s, when frank sexuality could appear in popular media like movies, but before the advent of social media that made any level of ""trust"" implicit in taped recordings related to sex impossible. So in that sense the movie is quite dated. It's a very talk-heavy movie, with almost no visually-explicit sex. Peter Gallagher and Laura San Giacomo have relatively easy roles as insensitive jerks. Andie MacDowell plays the emotionally-tight, unhappy wife very well. James Spader portrays the enigmatic stranger well, but the ease with which he gets women to talk about their intimate lives seems far-fetched.",6 "I don't get people getting bent out of shape about this series so far; the animation style is really strong albeit with stiff faces, it's loaded to the hilt with ""oh, yeah"" moments as reference-after-reference is laid out, and it's most of all it's putting a fun slant on characters many of us are familiar with through the MCU movies. I watched with my kids and they loved it, I loved it. It's quickfire stuff, maybe bubblegum for the brain, but who cares? When there's so much crud streaming and on TV, if you're a Marvel fan then this should go some way to stoking the fire between movies. Great fun to sit there working out if the 'real' actor is doing the voices - regardless of if they did, the voice talent do a steady job throughout. This isn't Shakespeare but it's enough to keep you engaged. I can sense that the people most butt-hurt over this are the hardcore comic fans and the people who expect every MCU product to be the best thing since sliced bread; in the same way not all the MCU films meet people's expectations, the recent TV shows have all varied and to love them all can't be expected. Don't beat yourself up if things don't always float your boat Marvel fans.",8 "This is the most stupid, foolish, dumb, unintelligent, brainless, mindless, senseless, moronic, imbecilic, witless, simpleminded, half-witted, thickheaded, dull-witted, slow-witted, doltish, obtuse, daft, dense, dim, dopy, dopey, dumbfounded, gormless, boneheaded, blockheaded, thoughtless, imprudent, inane, asinine, ludicrous, laughable, absurd, ridiculous, silly, fatuous, vapid, vacuous, shallow, unwise, irrational, nonsensical, illogical, preposterous, irrational, unthinking, ignorant, clueless, witless, unreasoning, empty-headed, pea-brained, pinheaded, wooden-headed, cretinous, thick-skulled, braindead, imbecile, lamebrained, knuckleheaded, idiotical, pea-brain, dozy, dotish, birdbrained, chuckleheaded, softheaded, slow on the uptake, bovine, boorish, bumbling, dunce-like, obtuse-minded, blockish, brain-dead, unsmart, fat-headed, simple, inattentive, empty, shallow-minded, thoughtless, irresponsible, unwitty, ill-advised, reckless, balmy, cockamamie, crackbrained, cuckoo, daffy, featherheaded, giddy, half-baked, harebrained, insane, irrational, kooky, loony, lunatic, madly terrible film I've watched all year.",2 "While not as good as the first Avengers movie, Age og Ultron, brings a lot of new stuff to the table, such as Scarlett Witch, Quick Silver, Ultron himself, The Vision and much more. The climax is also very well made and overall the movie is as i said, Pretty Good",4 "...Because the Iron Man that I saw had me checking my watch constantly throughout its running length. It was basically a lot of talking with a few paltry action sequences that ended too soon and had no real oomph. Had it not been for Jeff Bridges and Robert Downey junior, Iron Man would have been another Hulk. And by Hulk, I do not mean The Incredile. The improvement shown in Iron Man 2, by comparison, is like the improvement between X-Men and X2, only five times over. The difference being that X-Men had been 98 percent awesome to begin with. Maybe if this trajectory of improvement continues with the inevitable third Iron Man film (which in itself would be an awesome feat), it will be in the same ballpark as X2, or maybe even as awe-inspiringly brilliant as RoboCop, the exercise in suffering for the most wonderful art that the comic book Iron Man helped inspire. But I digress. The point I am trying to make here is that anyone who uses words like ""less fun"" as a put-down in context of reviewing a story like Iron Man 2 should be shot in order to lessen the pollution of our gene pool. I happen to find stories that deal with serious concepts like revenge and hatred far more fun than catchphrase fluff, Brian and Kirk. You cannot have a superhero film without a good actor to play the titular superhero. Whereas Christian Bale is hampered by his director's ego and an inability to be intelligible, and Hugh Jackman is currently chained down by some of the worst superhero film scripts since Batman & Robin, Robert Downey junior and his script are at the top of their game here. Originally when I heard that the story in this film would show Stark descending into alcoholism, I thought they at least picked the right man for the job. But the script provides something more in giving Stark a very credible motive for it. Downey is very convincing when pretending that he is dying and deciding to destroy himself as a result, but the arc of how an archival message from Howard Stark causes Tony Stark to lift himself out of the hole and fix the problem that is killing him is touching in multiple senses. And I speak as someone who has dealt with multiple addictions and compensatory life destructions here. But the real star of the show is Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko, the real villain of the piece. Ivan is to Tony what Khan was to Kirk, only more so. Whereas Khan had the eventually-fatal flaw of not having as much experience in where he engaged his enemy, Ivan if anything knows quite a bit more about the world he is taking on than Tony. The desperate poverty we see him in at the beginning lends itself to that. When he goes out onto that racetrack and starts to chop up cars, he knows to expect no quarter, and thus tries to not give any. Lengthy speeches are also a tricky thing to pull off in any kind of film, lending themselves to ridicule or contradiction. But in a ten-second speech, Mickey Rourke gives the audience every reason to believe that his character has a right to feel hard done by. There is a reason why Rourke is experiencing a minor new surge of interest, and it is on display in every frame that features him. It is a credit to Robert Downey junior that he can stay credible whilst sharing the screen with Rourke. One of the most controversial aspects of Iron Man 2 was Marvel's choice to replace Terence Howard with Don Cheadle, their original choice to play Rhodes. Howard made much noise about it, but Marvel made the right decision here. Cheadle is far more credible as the Colonel despite being noticeably physically smaller. During one scene in which Cheadle dons the suit and acts in a fight with Downey, his delivery of the dialogue (""you are not fit to wear this suit!"") is much more credible to boot. Also holding up their end of the platform are Gwyneth Paltrow, Samuel L. Jackson, and Scarlett Johansson in some of the best support roles thus far seen in a superhero film. Paltrow in particular scores top points for performing as a responsible woman trying to hold up a boss she cares for like a husband but is psychologically disintegrating into a mess before her very eyes. Jackson, for his part, plays the same Jackson he plays in every other film he is in, but it works well with the role of Nick Fury, so why not. The story itself is fairly simple and linear, without any extra layers or references for the viewer to take something out of. But instead of seemingly endless dialogue that has very little linguistic verve interspersed with the aforementioned so restrained it feels like a dog collar action sequences, Iron Man 2 has mostly very riveting dialogue and action sequences that, although nowhere near the standard set by the likes of Verhoeven, are at least entertaining to watch and contribute something to the plot. In fact the only aspect of the original that I prefer over this film is the score music. Whereas the Iron Man score had powerful themes that lifted certain shots well above the drudgery of the rest of the film, Iron Man 2's score is almost non-existent and remarkably tame. And while we are on the subject of music, whilst the Iron Man of the Black Sabbath song and Iron Man would not recognise each other if they met, can we please get something better than AC/DC? They have not released a single good record since I was born. Iron Man 2 is a ten out of ten film. To paraphrase a line from an early sequence: **** you, Brian and Kirk, **** you.",10 "Taxi Driver has some definite strengths, but scenes that did not fit into the plot and an ending that seemed unrealistic hurt what could have been an excellent movie. I thought that Robert DeNiro was solid in playing the role of Travis, a loner who becomes a cab driver. After incessant exposure to crime and sleaze in New York City, Travis decides it's his job to clean up the streets. The knee-jerk anger, the obsessiveness and delusions that Travis experience were convincing and done well by DeNiro. The problem I had was with some scenes that did not make sense. There is no way in real life anyone could get away with the vigilante tactics shown in this movie, especially in New York City, unless no one discovered who the vigilante was. The movie started to paint a picture of a man who could not get over being rejected by a woman, but failed to follow through on this idea as the plot suddenly focused on other topics.",6 "Long time ago, in the romantic and wonderful south of Scarlett O'Hara, where black people were slaves, woman remain virgins until marriage, children obey their parents, there were no l Jews were in America, and the only gay human being was Orson Welles, who was living in an ugly and dirty place called London. A free black man called Solomon Northup was confused with a slave. So he served as a slave for 12 years, for different jerks who thoughts they were preachers. And blame their black people for all the bad things. We all know that God is catholic and the rest is just people that thoughts that they are Christian, when in real life we know that are just pagans who adored the devil. The worst by far is Edwin Epps who had an ugly wife and is attracted to an even uglier young black slave, Patsy, who deservedly is punished for have his master so bad taste in women. Not all black people were bad threaded . For example there is Dominique Deveroux mother who teach ed her daughter that there is no more bitch girl, than a black bitch.- Finally Northup received the help of Matt Fincher superhero Brad Pitt who rescued him from Slavary. The he changed his name to Chiwitel Ejiofor, and become and actor and gain an Oscar nomination, just to loose his deserved Oscar to the bastard idiotic son of Edwin Epps Matthew McConaughey. That jerk thanked his father in the speech and then gives one of Epps typical sermons- For the rest of characters Patsy was rescued by Angelina Jolie. Today is one of her 250 adopted daughters. The Epps divorced, and now Mrs Epps makes threesomes with Ellen Degeneres and Rosie O'Donell, while Edwin lost everything, and past his last days of future past as the slave of the terrible slavery Jennifer Lawrence. Brad Pitt had an even worse faith, he dated a couple of years Gwynneth Paltrow.- Well that's the story and my review of 12 years of Slave. Slavery is bad, but dating Gwyneth is even a worse experience.-",6 "Not usually a fan of comic book adaptations so I started to watch this show just because I didn't have anything else to watch. And..wow..what a nice surprise!! Its just awesome!! Cant stop watching! Very well scripted, great character development..I just love how realistic it is!! Not like most of comic book shows when you clearly see its for children..just effects and no story and character! But not this one..Great work guys!! And Jon Bernthal is just awesome as the punisher. Hope to see more seasons. If you like drama,action, well scripted stuff great acting watch it you wont regret it!",8 "I was so happy when I realized Andy serkis is going to direct thim movie but I hoped He and Tom would have written the Movies as well , they were all in a hurry to finish the movie soon , story was good it had potential to be one of the best comic book movies but they did not use this potential , they only used 5 percent of it , the movie was filled with cliche lines too much comedy sometimes and very simple and weak acting from the cast except Tom hardy woody harrelson is a fantastic actor but He was His best in this movie , in general its just a normal simple entertaining movie nothing especial about it But I hoped Andy and Tom would haved written the script and made it a bit darker and longer It could have been a much better movie. What a shame!",6 "Everyone is saying the acting in this movie is amazing and while I think Willem Dafoe gives a great performance, Robert Pattinson completely overacts and his accent work in this film is poor. With regard to the story, there is either something incredibly deep happening where the lighthouse is a metaphor and this is all happening in this guy's imagination or nothing is happening at all and it's just a poorly written story about a guy overacting on a rock. If the film is trying to be deep and have a hidden meaning, which I suspect it is, it fails miserably; there is no point in having a deeper meaning under the film's surface if on the surface there is nothing. Movies like Mulholland Drive deal with abstract ideas and handle them tastefully, meaning that even if you don't know the deepest meanings of the film after the first watch, you can still piece together the main points of what's happening, enjoy the movie, and catch deeper meaning on rewatches. The only good things about this film: the character dialogue are distinctly written, the cinematography is great, and Willem Dafoe does good job. Very disappointing.",3 "A fun and intriguing setup with an interesting set of characters. The film features good performances by most of the actors, although the size of the cast means some felt under used. Jessica Henwick in particular really doesn't get enough screen time. The problem is really the final act, the last 30 minutes or so. It just starts to feel a bit silly and not in a quirky or fun way. Up to that point I'd have said it was one of the best films I'd seen this year and would have had no hesitation in recommending it. Janelle Monáe is the stand out performance, I've found her flat in other roles but she's very good in this, Daniel Craig on the other hand seems inconsistent in his characterisation, granted some of that is intentional but his performance didn't quite land for me. I gave it a 6/10 and I think that's a fair score. I'm not sure it would stand up to a rewatch.",6 "A movie about dogs is always a mixed bag... hey wait a minute, did I start this review last week like this? Robbie K here and bringing you another analysis of the latest film to grace the silver screen. While not a full dog movie, tonight's feature goes back in time to explore the origins of how we got man's best friend. What looks part survival film and part pet movie, led me to wonder what was in store, in hopes it would be the next epic film to break the box office. What lies in store? Robbie K here to give you another writing of opinions as I review: Movie: Alpha (2018) Director: Albert Hughes Writers: Daniele Sebastian Wiedenhaupt (screenplay by), Albert Hughes (story by) Stars: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Natassia Malthe, Leonor Varela LIKES: Quick Run Time: A movie about survival, especially with one human character, can be long and drawn out if not careful. Alpha keeps the film rolling, not taking too long of pauses as the journey transverses from one part of the frontier to the other. The entire span of the journey is just over 90 minutes and it does a nice job trying to cram everything into a nice concise package. Impressive CGI: The movie is all about recreating the primal world of the wondering nomads, which involves a lot of imagination, design, and CGI to bring it to life. The movie gets props from me because they accomplished the recreation in a very detailed manner. First the environments and natural phenomena are dazzling, fun, and furious as the special effects combine to unleash the nightmares that disasters hold. Second the animals of the world are also nicely animated, from the rugged texture of the skin, to the fluid movement of their grazing, hunting, and fleeing. Sure, it hits moments where it crosses into the fake looking zone, but overall a nice display indeed. Costumes: Tribal costumes require a lot of detail, coordination, and study to deliver the most accurate display of that part of history. Though I'm no historian, Alpha's tribesman have all the knick-knacks of the what a plains hunter would normally have that not only serves as a fashion statement, but holds the functionality that these ancient beings attempted to use. The lead's attire will get the most attention, but when combined as a tribe, each nuance of the costumes comes out a little more. The Wolf: When the live animal is on screen, the wolf was the stealer of the scene. Cute eyes, the whimpering moans, and the wise gazes are certainly the opener for this pooch, but the action scenes that require training were impressive displays to say the least. The Cinematography: Let's face it, the real selling pint though is the beautiful visuals of the film. Alpha's scenery is gorgeous to say the least, with vivid waterfalls, beautiful night skies, and desolate plains that harbor doom. Sunrise and sunsets are majestic as they promise the start and end of new days, and the colors are dazzling as they blend into a mosaic of fantastic sequences. Throw in the CGI and the world just gets more vivid, making for an impressive setting to become involved with. DISLIKES: Animal Torture: I know, times were tough back then and it was either be hunters or be dead. Still, I didn't like to see the suffering of animals in this film. Alpha does not go down the quick finishes, but tries to capture the full moment of a spear hunter taking steps to secure his life. Some of the more merciful finishes I appreciate, but those torturous moments are not something I want to see in dragged out details. So, animal activists with bleeding hearts beware, you are in for a treat that will hurt your aortic pumps at times. Lackluster Dialogue: It's a good thing that the visuals are so stunning as they are the strongest components to telling their story. As for the dialogues, well... primal grunts and language with subtitles doesn't have the best ring. Accurate? Potentially, however Alpha's dialogue doesn't have the unique, movie magic quality that it probably needed. It's nice to have realism, but the conversations were almost pointless in the manner they presented this film in. Limited characters: The main character and his four-legged friend are the stars of this show, but they try to introduce other characters in the first thirty minutes. It's nice to establish the family tree web of the group, but given the worthless dialogue and short screen time, it almost pointless to go into introductions of the characters if they were not going to use them more. The father in general has a few dream sequences, but they did not do much to expand on his thoughts after the big event... so not the best casting. The Patchy Story: It's a story about getting back home, so there isn't much story components to expand upon. However, Alpha feels patchy to me as the shots blend together in a very rushed presentation. Things suddenly happen, there is little fluid buildup during transitions, and the predictable plot devices sort of fall into place too fast. I could see a lot of the places were cuts were made and while it led to faster pace, it would have been nice to see some more entertaining components to piece it together, but still not too bad. THE VERDICT: Alpha is good in regards to the beautiful visual spectacle that it is. The primal world is alive in all of the amazing details that the big studios can make, and the even better it is in a nice concise 90 minutes to get you out quick. Alpha's adorable wolf (whether CGI or real) steals the show and will be the factor you want to bet on compared to the lead. Yes, the story is not the most unique, and is quite predictable thanks to the trailers, but it's patchy, linear story will be easier to follow. No, there is some suspense into this movie at times, but overall it's a pretty lax adventure movie, with the exception of the mad props to having to survive in the wilds of the past. Worth a trip to the theater? For visuals yes, but movie overall I cannot recommend it. In addition, I do not recommend 3-D viewing, because there is little to warrant the headache inducing effects this movie has. My scores are: Adventure/Drama/Family: 6.5 Movie Overall:: 6.0",7 "I am among those who are not fans of Spielberg's art. This movie just confirms my feelings. What it is? -Spielberg being Spielberg. Pompous and vain. Ok, we get it Steven, you're talented since you've been a little kid. Empty plot, no culmination, fragments of childhood trauma and accent on his filmmaking talent. That's all. And oh, young actors are brilliant! And except for the end there's no Spilbergian stupid music scores, for a change. Film is too long for what it gives us, but the David Lynch scene is when film is shining. And it's good that it ends with it. He is perfectly depicting John Ford. I love it! Thank you uncle Lynch for contributing, even though it is sad that this movie will be forgotten in a half an hour time.",3 "This movie was so much lively and joyful. Also filled a lot of pink It was so amazing. It's like dream world Sometimes movies that make us happy and hopeful about life are really required a lot in order to survive in this depressing world This movie is a literally a portal towards happiness, to escape sadness for while Thank you Greta Gerwig for directing such an amazing movie Really appreciated Ready to see more of your amazing work And let me tell all of you that this movie doesn't represent anything This is just a normal movie that should be enjoyed Pls don't judge and make anything out of this And this doesn't support wokeism in any way And pls don't compare this movie to Oppenheimer Both movies are from a complete different genre Greta Gerwig cannot be compared to Christopher Nolan in any way She tried very hard and her work was good Hats off If you ask me Barbie or Oppenheimer Obviously my answer is Oppenheimer Oppenheimer is one of the best movies of this century And the best movie of the year So Oppenheimer is the best movie But Barbie is also good movie Hence we shouldn't fight over it And watch both.",10 I love when wanda transform in Scarlett witch. I hope white vision can meet wanda again.,9 "There's zero chemistry between characters/actors. It's like watching walls have a conversation with one another. The dialog & writing is just terrible to begin with as well, and there are more plotholes & inconsistencies than I care to count. None of the jokes land, and very few got more than a smirk from me. Venom is supposed to be a dark character & Sony has turned him into a whiny loser. Same goes for Eddie - Eddie is meant to be an aggressive dark & twisted loner, not a bumbling loser. Their efforts to put their own ""creative spin"" on the characters fails in every aspect. Speaking of jokes - why are there so many? Venom wasnt created to be funny. There is absolutely nothing menacing about him at all in either of the Sony films. You can barely understand a single word Venom ever says without subtitles, which is frustrating. Also, Sony is very good at showing all the best parts of their movies in trailers leading up to release, so you can just watch the trailer & skip their movies basically. I feel this is going to be the case with the recently released 4 minute trailer of Morbius. Sony is not doing well with their spider verse movies save for the animated movie & I do not see light at the end of the tunnel for their live action interpretations of these characters. They should sell back to Disney ASAP before they pump out another piece if garbage like this.",3 "Before seeing it, I heard how apparently realistic this movie was in being true to the science. Yet it was anything but. The whole plot nonsensical. Not the worst movie I've seen (would rate it 5.0 if it wasn't for the incredibly high rating). I know I'm nitpicking here but: A saturn rocket type take off, yet they are able to get off another planet with similar gravity with a tiny shuttle which already used part of its fuel for landing. The spaceship rotated to create gravity however that would not mean there is any in the middle section where most of the scenes are. Not even gonna bother going into the worhmhole/bookase/mores code thing. Interesting concept but rather weak story.",1 10/10 one of the best show of Hulu & my favorite already . Grt job Selena(mabel)-my fav character.,10 Just stunning in EVERY aspect! Please bring on a season 4! I need more Hannibal and Will!,10 "Please don't waste your money seeing this stinker, I was bored to tears on this one.. and carrey is my favorite actor, so that says a LOT. This film has a crappy unbelievable plot, dull characters. What a waste of my $10 to see it!!! If you want to see a excellent movie, go see starsky and hutch, or dawn of the dead. both are worth the money. If you insist on seeing a Jim Carrey movie rent Dumb and Dumber, the Mask or Liar! Liar!, Hell even The magestic looks like a 10 star movie compared to this turkey. AVOID If you like artsy crap like this movie.. then enjoy. I sure don't",1 "Movie name says it all, its special for movie lovers, awesome story, perfect movie. Everyone gave their best, there are no OTT actions or cheap comedy, no unwanted songs, not a remake from south, original script from perfectionist Neeraj. Akshay Kumar made an u turn with this movie, he should choose more movies like this instead of comedies where he can show his real talent. Manoj and Anupam was awesome. Bolly should make more movies like this then soon Bolly will be compared with Hollywood. the climax of this movie will make u speechless, awesome twist at the climax. Neeraj is perfectionist, his debut A Wednesday was awesome, now he delivers Special 26, like A Wednesday we can watch Special 26 again and again and can say What A Special Movie This Was. One word for the movie EPIC",9 "There is a lot to say about the direction this movie took but simply put the hype behind them film is just that. The main issues with the film in my opinion are the below From the very beginning the extremely simple core plot line is obvious. Good guy becomes king, evil family member dethrones him and in the end good guy reclaims the throne. It's literally a story we've seen hundreds of times before. Add to that a run time that could have been 30mins shorter and you have a mildly boring film While introducing us to Wakanda and the culture we are told how much tradition and fellowship are what made Wakanda as great a nation as it is. However, towards the end of the film that idea is tossed to the side for plot development. There is a very specific scene where it is stated by Wakandan laws the bad guy should not be king yet all the Wakandans chose to ignore their tradition in favor of the bad guy anyways (ummmm what?). Then you have the issue of race, politics and possibly the worst villain in a marvel movie. Honestly looking at the film in it's completion there is no way anyone should logically agree with Kilmonger in any way. Without giving away spoilers let's just say all his talk of oppression, slavery and being held back due to race has nothing to do with the story we are given. In reality there is only one set of people he should want revenge on but he's simply not smart enough to realize it. In honesty you could remove all the politics/race from this movie and it would not alter it in any way. It seems like Marvel simply added a few lines here and there to appeal to the target demograhic which in this case was under 30 black males. While this film as a stand alone movie was good it simply doesn't live up to what Marvel has built. I simply do not care what happens with Wakanda or if a sequel is made and that's upsetting. Maybe when a sequel is made (you know there will be) Marvel will cut all the politics and give the fans an action packed thrill ride instead of 2+ hours of mind numbing interactions that really mean nothing as a whole",3 "The entire film feels like an advert. Like there's no attempt to be subtle with the product placement it's annoying af. Other than that; certainly worth a watch. Not life changing but okay",4 "I was really looking forward to this movie. No I had not seen or heard of the original. I liked the previews and enjoy 3D movies. This movie had many things going for it, cool costumes, set designs, great special effects, what I thought would be a compelling story. Frankly I was bored and I've been trying to figure out why... After seeing Avatar earlier this year I guess I was expecting another movie of that quality. 3D was not necessary for this film in the way it was used. I expect things to fly out and be much more, well 3 dimensional, my companions and I thought we had defective glasses. So my recommendation is what I wrote in my summary... wait for the dollar theater version... It is probably better there than on your TV set at home.",2 "I've been waiting for this film since I had seen Batman Begins in the cinema three/four years ago, but I was disappointed that I did not see anything new. It also didn't help that the plot in the film was muddled up. There were different subplots happening in between the film and by the last half I was totally lost; even my boyfriend has fallen asleep. I didn't like Maggie Gyllenhal's role as Rachael - she was bland as a blank of wood/black tea with no sugar, *really* boring as an actress! As usual, Bale puts on a great performance and I have always enjoyed the films he has been in from the past (Machinist, The Prestige, Equiliberium, Batman Begins, American Psycho). However, reprising his role as Bruce Wayne, I felt I hadn't seen anything fresh from his performance or, if there was, this was overshadowed by the film (I am sure he will make up for this in Terminator 4). I like Christopher Nolan as well as a director, but I think this film was all about money and not about quality film-making. Compare this film to Memento and The Prestige - the Dark Knight is nowhere near as good as those films. In other words, from the 'success' this film has made, it would look as though Nolan has sold out which is a real shame. I have idea no where thes hype about this film has come from, but I suspect it is because of the fact that people have been defining this film as one of Heath Ledger's ""finest performance"". Sure, his role as the Joker worked well on screen, but, even so, it is not worthy of winning a BAFTA/Oscar for his performance. People have generously given this film either a 9/10 simply because they have bought the fascination surrounding Ledger's performance/death along with the excessive violence and not judging on this film, realistically. This film is worth no more than a 6, I am afraid - it should NOT be in IMDb's top 10. Having said that, this is nothing more than 'popcorn' film.",6 The title says it all. Totally misrepresentation of Dhaka City.,1 "This has started as a very promising old school sci-fi show, where ""sci"" really does stand for science. But.. this quickly drifted to everything else but science. They have even shoved freaking religion into this.. And by the third episode it's just another super slow soap opera with hints of crime investigation, but without any ""sci"" factor.",6 "Half are bought, many others are by people posting after one episode in states of high excitement. This series is so very average. But wildly overhyped because it's on HBO. Same old apocalypse storyline. Stupid zombies chasing people around. Everybody scarred by loss. Same old 'heartrending' relationship tale of a makeshift family formed in a dystopian world. Who cares? Critics (better labeled flatterers) will praise the show for 'challenging narrative expectations' to focus on the fragile bonds that develop blah blah blah This is also a vehicle to elevate Pedro Pascal into superstar status in the U. S. He's okay. The girl is okay, too-the latest overhyped product on the assembly line of child stars... This explosion of entertainment content over the past decade has made virtually every genre a massive cliche. Originality is hard. But better to wait for it than celebrate mediocrity.",4 "If you look at the review stats on this site, you can see that men overwhelmingly watch this movie about a 12 year old prostitute and the deranged, porn lovin' dude who thinks he's gonna save her. Sounds about right. The movie is deeply disturbing but pretends it is a study in isolation. Sure. Riiiight. Because no adult man is going to admit they watch it for the 12 year old prostitute. Movies like this that portend to explain the motivations of mentally ill men by portraying perversion and violence are ridiculous, but men eat these films right up. There was some good cinematography, whoopdedoo. The acting was good, but to what end? I know this review will be severely downgraded by the exact men to whom I am referring, and the irony is killer.",2 "They lost the script when storm has begun. That's the only logical explanation.",4 "The screenplay was completely confused and a lot of sequences where added just keep in a certain audience in mind and completely diluted the gravity and seriousness that the movie such as this should have tried to aim for. When you try to cater to all the segments of an audience you end up with a very average to a below average piece of ****. That is what BMB is. Even I find it surprising that how MS approved of this movie. Maybe FA did a good job but one actor doing a good job does not make a good movie and that counts for only 5-10% of the overall product. The sequencing of the movie was completely mixed up and resulted in confusion. The movie drags for 3 hrs and they do not have any good content to show. The characters have not been developed properly and unnecessary sex scenes have been put. Had they put in one more scene I would have not hesitated it calling it a soft core porn movie. Cannot help but compare it with Paan Sign Tomar which has a very similar story. It was a much much better than MBM on all counts and although FA may have worked very hard IK did much better job as Paan Singh. While I will not blame FA for it, the character of MS was not at all developed in the movie as the director had set out to create a typical spicy Bollywood sex flick rather than anything worthwhile.",1 "Sriram Raghavan has made some thrillers like Badlapur with Andhadhun being his best in my opinion. Johnny Gaddaar was his second film and I could sense talent within him. Johnny Gaddaar follows Vikram, a man who decides to steal the money collected by his partners for a drug deal which leads to lies, deceit and betrayal. Andhadhun is one of the greatest thrillers to come out of India and whilst Johnny Gaddaar isn't as good as that, Sriram Raghavan does show off his talent in crafting a thriller. What I liked about this film was the neo-noir feel of it all. There's somewhat of a classic and old school feeling to this film that worked well with the story it was presenting. The opening credits themselves pay a great homage to the neo-noir genre and there are moments throughout that clearly feel influenced by Quentin Tarantino and past Indian thrillers. What works in the film's favour the most is its unpredictability. Aside from the ending, which can be guessed as it's shown at the beginning, the film went in ways I didn't expect which kept me invested and culminated nicely by the end. Despite that, there were times where characters didn't make the best of decisions and moments where I questioned whether they could happen or not. The acting was also well done. Neil Nitin Mukesh does a decent job. At times I thought he could've been better but considering this was his debut, he did a good job. Dharmendra was pretty good and same goes for Rimi Sen. The best out of the lot were Vinay Pathak, Ashwini Kalsekar and Zakir Hussain. These three did a fabulous job especially Hussain. Overall, Johnny Gaddaar was a decent thriller. Improvements could've been made but I enjoyed it regardless and it was a great stepping stone for Sriram Raghavan to perfect his skill as director and writer in the thriller genre which I feel he did with his future film Andhadhun.",7 "I like Tom Hardy as an Actor...but whats Venom2 ??? Its a movie for kids that the mother can wash the dishes... So Unreal and iam deeply dissapointed. Kick the director.",1 "I have loved every single Tarantino movie up until this one. I just don't get it. There's no plot to speak of. It's just a bunch of well created scenes that exist essentially independent of each other. The end is kinda cool I guess, but man, what a waste of a whole lot of talent. I'm not joking either. If you think you can explain the plot of this movie, I implore you to try. Everyone loves it. It leaves me feeling like a side character in The Emperor Wears No Clothes. I found nothing about it particularly interesting or memorable. Everyone hates on Jackie Brown and Hateful 8. Those movies are way, way better than this.",3 In my opinion this is a low point in QT's filmmaking career.,4 "I saw this movie after reading some of the reviews here (IMDB). I guess I should have read ALL and not just the top few :(. They said that it is as good as Superbad or funniest movie of 2008. Not even close! I LOVED super-bad. Really cool comedy. This movie - should be named ""forgetting the wasted 2 hours""!!!!! I can't remember having fun during the whole movie. May be few times I laughed. But some stupid jokes. I would seriously advise you to not to see this movie. Cheers",4 "Writer-director Christopher Nolan's byzantine puzzle-movie ""Inception"" is so fully engulfed in a surreal sort of Raison d'être--while also managing to introduce a new set of rules to us, though not appearing to abide by those rules near the finale--it's easy to understand why some audiences are embracing the film as a masterpiece. These days, if a film is complexly-layered it is automatically deemed art...not popcorn entertainment ready for mass consumption, but high art. If ""small minds"" are unable to grasp the film's deeper meanings, those poor folks are disregarded as unworthy participants in the ultimate game. ""Inception"" is a game--and, at times, a grand one--but it isn't a masterpiece. It's a gun-crazy, gadget-mad, hyperactive Rubik's Cube of a movie. Leonardo DiCaprio plays the grieving Cobb, a dream extractor who enters into the sleeping minds of others to gather vital information which cannot be obtained any other way. Unfortunately, memories of his late wife (and guilt over her mysterious death) are so vivid they are permeating Cobb's subconscious; and inevitably those haunted images follow him helplessly on his jaunts into the dream-state. The movie has very little exposition, with a confusing prologue later revealed to be the starter threads to the epilogue, and doesn't really get going until we are introduced to Cobb's latest case involving a dying billionaire, his crestfallen son, and the final draft of the tycoon's will which is locked up in a safe no one knows the combination to. The other participants in the project are a brainy, adept, and engaging group of people we become quite fond of; often times, particularly in a perplexing movie such as this one, having such smart, savvy characters populating the scenario makes the ride that much more enjoyable (not forgetting of course that humans are never so vulnerable to danger as when they are asleep). What doesn't really work are the constant sniper attacks in the dreams--projections which manifest themselves as an angry militia--as well as a visual impersonation of the son's godfather, which is necessary to the plot but becomes little more than a complicated footnote. The level of dreams our heroes pass through, one more dangerous than the last, provide the picture with a visual kick, and the nonchalant manner in which the characters respond to their strange new surroundings accent ""Inception"" with a giddiness not usually found in big-budget action films. I'm not sure whether or not Christopher Nolan violates his own movie-rules in order to cap the film with an emotional bow, but he does get solid performances from his cast, a rich and delectable production design from his art department, and swirling, hallucinogenic special effects from his creative team. Is the movie a mind-blowing experience? For many audiences, it certainly will be. As with all 'summer epics' and popcorn crowd-pleasers, this one's crazy glow will probably fade in the stretch (I can't imagine the film will hold up so well once it goes the home-video route--it's a theatrical experience, after all). It is not a work of art, however that doesn't mean it isn't sheer pleasure from start to finish. *** from ****",7 "You've waited KENough for this! Barbie and Ken are having the time of their lives in the colorful and seemingly perfect world of Barbie Land. However, when they get a chance to go to the real world, they soon discover the joys and perils of living among humans. The Barbie movie was a weird but very successful mixture. It had all the fun and comedy while also hitting on some really deep subjects. To start off, the movie was superrrrrrrr KENtertaining and funny as I found myself laughing out loud many times during the 1 hour and 56 minutes run-time. Margot Robbie was superb as Barbie as she gives various levels to her character that goes through major developments in this movie. Ryan Gosling was also amazing as Ken as he also shares some great chemistry with Margot. Greta Gerwig just shows how good she is by displaying great attention to details, beautiful set and costume design, and a really funny but deep script; the film was just stunning to look at! Additionally, it included some really good and catchy songs that really suited the mood. Now although the film has its funny and witty jokes, a major part of it was to highlight some major issues and deliver very deep messages in a very clever way and I think we had the perfect balance between those two worlds (although many may disagree). One minor issue I had with this movie was that some aspects were a bit rushed. However, on the larger scheme, this may be disregarded as that's not the movie's general mood. Score:8.5/10.",8 "Very well played by the little boy and beautifully implemented visually (camera, costumes etc.). The slapstick character of this comedy at times seems to banalize the tough subject (war, Holocaust) and the feelings underneath the laughs don't come across sufficiently. This also can't be a film for children, because they would need to know enough about the Nazis, the War and the Shoah in order to not be misguided by the humor and its potential belittlement. I haven't read the original book but am surprised this film won an Oscar for its script. Again, worthwhile to see for the acting, visual storytelling and forming an own opinion.",7 "The work appears to be quite interesting. The drawings reveal a strong inspiration from Raphael's sweet line (in fact the figures on the cover are shaded, often showing the character underneath). The perspective is all too present, so much so that the use of CGI for the representation of the characters is noticeable (as opposed to the Leonardian perspective, characterized by a soft chromatic perspective). The musculature of the characters recalls that of Michelangelo, but contrasts with his gentle movements given the wooden and awkward animation. The writing is clearly inspired by Alfieri's tragedies, reporting a heroic protagonist with a titanic destiny, both in battles and in the role played, and with impossible congratulations. Tasso is another of the great authors revisited by this series, masterfully enveloping the Christian morality of concupiscence in the animations, which ironically depict female charms, and through the transversal inclusion of the characters themselves. Finally, there is the modern, almost cyberpunk key to the plot itself. The events unfold their lives in a futuristic and dystopian universe, thus taking up Orwell's stories. So, 10/10 for writing a work containing every single periodic element necessary to achieve viewer captivation.",1 I gave 6 stars because i think this is a little bit below the level of MCU.,6 "After episode 6 I can just say, I'm happy they didn't messed up. Especially in the last episode they could have round this series. But they absolutely didn't! It's kind of the same feelings I have now like after watching Infinity War. It's a bit open and you are going to speculate! I'm excited for season 2!! Please keep us excited and surprised! In a good way!!",9 "Long, boring movie. Avoid at all costs. Utter pretentious drivel. Lots of talking and driving but not much else. Brad Pitt and Leo are cool but that's about it really. Zzzzzzzzzz.",3 "Wow, that was about 13% of what I was expecting. I certainly didn't expect the lovechild of Anya Taylor-Joy and Seven of Nine to be the next Wednesday. Eh, it was so-so. Of course, it was beautifully shot, scored and acted - all that was to be expected. I just didn't see why it needed to be 8 episodes. This could've easily just been a two-hour, stand-alone film. The title teen Addams is transferred to yet another school after, gasp, misbehaving and just think of it as a very, very scaled down Hogwarts. And just like Harry Potter, there are plenty of mysteries to solve before the end of the school year. While I didn't mind the casting at all, in fact, Catherine Zeta-Jones looked amazing and Jenna Ortega as Wednesday did good for the most part, I just thought they lacked chemistry as a family and I thoroughly didn't like this disjointed version of the Addams Family. Naturally anyone, including me right now, will compare this to the OG 90s duo (excluding the 3rd one.) I not only liked those first two films better than this whole season, but I even liked the 2019 animated movie more as well. Would I recommend? Eh, maybe. I didn't hate it and I did manage to stay through all 8 episodes with the first and last ones being the best ones. I won't watch any more. I prefer just to stick with the 90s classics. *** Final Thoughts: Yeah, yeah, I'm beating myself up that it took me over an hour to figure out that side character is Christina Ricci.",5 "Binged all Episodes. After I was finished, I started again. Amazing Actors, well written deep but easy story, beautiful settings, amazing shots. Don't know what to say... Hopefully we can expect more...",9 "The movie is watchable, I think, because it´s pretty well made. That said it´s pretty well made unlikely bulls*t and even if the acting was better, the script still ruins everything from the start, especially after the crowd gathers up. The cliches are so bad this should be a comedy, but instead they are trying to throw in some wisdom at the end...which, by the look of the reviews, doesn't really touch anybody anyways :)) I am sorry but the worst part is that Bullock is too old for the role. When it comes to the mystery, I'm fine with few answers. I think more mystery could have elevated the plot a notch, if it weren't for that awful dialogue.",4 "Just back from the wolf of wall street. Its story is based on autobiography written by Jordan Belfort. So as is usual with all autobiography, the author will portray himself a hero. Its an entertaining film but a stupid film. Right from the selling techniques of de caprio to the money laundering in swiss banks , everything is too convenient and at times plain stupid.Its supposed to be a dark comedy but the tone is Over the top.De Caprio is good in some scenes and has overacted in a lot of scenes. His scene where he has an excessive effective of a drug is so loud and drags too much its almost irritating.He looks like an overgrown kid with wrinkles. Jonah Hill is also good in some scenes and hammed in many other. Margot Robbie plays De Caprio's wife. Looks hot and acts the best among the cast. I am surprised how it has won so many award nominations, May be due to the big names associated.That is how most of the jury around the world works",5 "Don't misread the heading to mean that I think Elementary is an outstanding show. Elementary is a solid show with some quirky elements which has had occasional moments of brilliance. Some of the crimes were quite creative. Also, Elementary has produced over 100 episodes for lasting enjoyment. Contrast this with Sherlock which went from an overdone, cheesy start, led by the atrocious overacting of Cumberbatch, down to being absolutely the worst Sherlock Holmes serial in history. What is wrong with British television? So many bad writers these last few years.",2 "The show has an incoherent theme, and the timeline is too confusing and irritating. There are also far too many characters, and it should have focussed on Henry Cavill and his story. Cavill's talents seem to be wasted on this farce, and there are far too many miscast actors that hinder any credibility to the show. I don't know if it's Hollywood and it's silly and superficial agenda driving this all, but the program is a bit of a mess because of it. Couldn't make it past a few episodes. I'm sure there are other more worthy science fiction and fantasy shows to watch.",3 Yennefer's story was very bad and his character unlike Geralt was hated,6 This movie have so much to tell. Its an journey of a pet owner and the love towards pets. Worth watching and re-watching. Direction is awesome... every scene have so much to tell. Must watch for everyone.,10 "Another Christological myth rendered in the form of science fiction but without the sophistication of Kubrick's masterpiece. The acting is marginal to good (these actors have all done better work) even if the visuals are impressive. Since they're mostly CGI and not practical effects, this is a movie that will always take a back seat to 2001. It's meant to have similar psychological effects but hasn't the intellectual presence to be even remotely as important either as a narrative or as cinema. It's not a bad movie. It's actually a great movie that tries WAY too hard to be something more than the script's structure and devices will allow. If someone had shown me a treatment or outline for this movie, I would have said ""Be prepared to write hundreds of drafts"" because nobody wants to sit through a ""2001 wanna-be"". Now I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to enjoy a ""space movie with some plot twists"". If you can get past some of the exposition, even the sci-fi elements deliver something; just not the something that we haven't seen before in episodes of the Twilight Zone. The poetry of Dylan Thomas is used so embarrassingly as a thematic device and tirelessly quoted to pull on the heart strings of the audience, that I am actually sickened by how unread the writer must consider them. We've all read that poem in high school... and we get the idea. Why beat it to death? There will be those who will watch this film and think it's brilliant but hopefully they will also be equally confused by their own unconscious disinterest because, honestly, as story-telling goes it's predictable to the well-viewed. There's a kind of unsettled quality to the psychological aspects of the film without the right tension, mystery, or even release. What bothered me more than anything was the pseudo-intellectual musings on relativity theory and quantum mechanics and how they were woven into the psychical elements like some bad new age psycho-babble. The writer seemed to be treating the audience as if it hadn't read enough scientific material to distinguish that epistemological framework from a religious one. Frankly, that works for a mainstream audience but not for a hard core sci-fi audience. I found myself, of course, watching the film and thinking ""They're trying to make a 2001-esque movie here."" It didn't work. For one thing, Kubrick's film is alchemical and embodies a mystical experience for the viewer him or herself that is based in depth psychology and structured in religious anthropology. This movie, on the other hand, is too mechanical as it tries to do something like that and it winds up leaving one feeling like ""All is simulacra, so what's the point of even doing this?"" It may seem unfair to make this comparison but it's the natural consequence of making this film so I won't apologize for making it. I wasn't blown away by any of the actor's performances either with the exception of Mackenzie Foy, the girl who played ""Murph"". She delivered something stronger than the material. Now, a lot of people will disagree with my review and that's because it is a good movie. I would recommend people watching it because it is entertaining but I'm not prepared to say it's an excellent film because I think that it tried from the script to the production to go somewhere that it didn't belong. Better than most of what we've seen this year but too ambitious and, for that reason alone, I've rated it accordingly.",7 "And unfortunately there is absolutely no carnage at all. The first movie was way better. This one is boring, especially the second half of the film is a pure mess.",5 "I am watching because my daughter and my husband like it. My daughter gives it 8, my husband gives it 7 and I give it 3 so hence the 6. We have to be fair. Acting seems fine. Storyline is okay. What is my issue with it? It needs more shades of light and dark and some humour would not go astray. It seems too dark for me. Action is missing as well. Seems to be too much talking! I'm not enjoying it but two here are. Writing could be the problem for me. The writers seem bogged down in dialogue with little action and zero humour. To those who enjoy it fine and to people like me who are barely tolerating it. This too will pass lol.",7 "The only thing that was lost in this movie was the story line. Mostly staring out windows, at ceiling, at walls- we got the point the first ten times- they were lost and lonely and felt out of place- It wasn't necessary to beat us over the head by showing the same basic scene over and over and over and over again. If the writer/director hadn't been F.F.C.'s daughter with all the hype that entailed- no one would have ever heard of this dreadfully boring movie.",1 "First off, films REALLY DO have the tendency to be overrated or underrated these days. And this film is no exception. Simple fact, I'm not a fan at all of Stephen King or his work, or the films that are BASED off his work. Just too dark, too controversial, too creepy, too horrendous, too controversial, and too uncomfortable to sit through. Is this really one of the 10 best films of all time? Shawshank is not a downright bad movie but it has some severe flaws and I have no clue how everyone chooses to overlook them. The problem I have with it is how it absolutely oversimplifies everything. Shawshank for the most part focuses on exploring the idea of ""Hope"" (one of the most overused ideas in any prison movie), but in order to do so, it treats everything as black or white with no middle ground. I will say that ""The Shawshank Redemption"" is not an ""awful"" film. This isn't a poorly made film with more crude humor than storyline. One of the positives of the film lies in the IMAGERY. The shot of all the prisoners in the prison yard looking up to the heavens as music plays is an amazing shot, one of the most memorable shots I've ever seen. Shawshank was really hard to watch; with all the violence and swearing, I don't think it does the story justice. I understand this film was nominated for Best Picture, and I've heard people whine, left and right, that Forrest Gump did, and Shawshank didn't. Well, the way I see it, I really don't mind. I don't like how this film seems to use the name of God, or Jesus, as a bad thing, used by the world's biggest hypocrites in Shawshank (ie. the Warden); it's one of the reasons why I like Forrest Gump better so much; there isn't much violence, hardly any swearing, and even treats & talks the name of the Lord in a good way. The villain of the film, Warden Norton, is an incredibly cartoonish, two dimensional bad guy. He and Cal from Titanic could have a ""pure-evil-for-the-sake-of-being-pure-evil"" standoff. Aside from greed, we have no idea what made him who he was. I see that actors William Sadler and Jeffrey DeMunn are well known for being in this flick, though a much better film that they both star in is ""Rocketman"" (1997), a wild, slap-happy family-friendly comedy. Please do check it out sometime!! And I don't even like hearing Morgan Freeman curse at all. ""Driving Miss Daisy"" is a much better performance of his, and is a great way for people to be introduced to him, growing up (or maybe even ""Evan Almighty"" is a good one, too). Tim Robbins, I guess was okay. Though he was also bizarrely in ""Howard the Duck""; it doesn't have anything to do with it, I know - it's queer to see how far he's come. And it sure is strange the head guard, who is often so prone to violence & swearing is the one who voiced Mr. Krabs in Spongebob Squarepants. Ar-Ar-Ar-Ar! Though to be fair, the escape scene is really where things get interesting, how everything comes together, and the ending definitely is pretty sweet - kinda makes you wish you could see the ending go on from there. But in the end, I'm quite glad I didn't grow up with this film - because, sadly like many others, it might have brainwashed, badly-influenced, or manipulated me to what ""reality is supposed to be like"" in such a subversive & biased way. I never had any friends that ever ""owned"" or ever ""recommended"" this film, because likely they feel the same way. One other thing that subtly bothered me was, if this story takes place over 20 years in prison... why doesn't anybody seem to AGE??? What happened to the Makeup Department?? Though I don't entirely hate this film - it's got likable actors, good acting, cool character development (i guess), great camera work, decent music, some good effort, and a feel-good ended scene - but it's really overwhelmed by so much bad, it almost makes the good stuff non-existent or even seem ""sugar-coated"". IMO, Groundhog Day is a much better film worth to be nominated for Oscar and even considered one of the ""greatest films ever"", not this nor ""the Godfather"". 5/10 PS: Want a better film from 1994??? Go watch either ""Iron Will"", ""Angels In The Outfield,"" ""The Jungle Book,"" ""The Swan Princess"", ""A Troll In Central Park"", ""Speed"", ""The Little Rascals"", ""True Lies"", ""The Santa Clause"", or even ""Forrest Gump."" PS 2: ""Pulp Fiction"" should not even have been NOMINATED that same year for a ""Best Picture"" Oscar, being an overrated worthless pile of nothing - it should've been the Lion King nominated! Pulp Fiction can go off and die.",5 "Geralt, yennefer, and ciri are well portrayed. Loved hearing geralt make the sound of ""hmm"" lol. Best of Netflix right here. Just do 4-5 seasons to complete the whole story with 10-13 episodes each",9 "More of a egotistical ride for Tarantino. i am surprised at the final rating on this movie great acting, great casting everything is great except for the lack of story / even a screenplay. is this supposed to be glorified documentary really surprised at the final rating! did really so many of u folks like it?",4 "The essential problem with this movie is that it has no logic rules to abide by. And, mind you, even dreams have rules, as Freud started to hint. A rule is not ""I do what pleases me"", which is what we see throughout this movie. That's arbitrariness. Mr. Nolan should learn from hard working writers to build seriously an imaginary universe, like Tolkien, Borges, Frank Herbert, etc. Worlds with RULES. Because without rules, the writer can do whatever pleases him any moment. And as anything is possible,... who cares? And as one stops caring, one starts to get booooooored. Specially if in a supposedly imaginative story you get punished endlessly with the oh-so-hackneyed pursuits and shoot-out of faceless bad guys... Yah, yeah, yeah, original, new and unseen as an Edwin S. Porter film. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawnie!",4 "Wish the story had had more episodes, it ended rather abruptly albeit effectively setting up a new season really hated what i watched of the boys didn't expect to like this show but was very pleasantly surprised now giving the boys another chance. It's not nearly as interesting as Gen V though I loved their depiction of gender fluidity, of how self-esteem issues affect our abilities, how violence begets violence and how it isn't the solution for peace, how corrupt corporations can be The diverse casting was a great start. Wish they had centered the POC characters a lot more. Still great ensemble cast.",8 "First off, the soundtrack for this show was brilliant as was the idea for the show, very original. I never read the comics but fell in love with the characters and the story regardless. However the story was very predictable and fell into a lot of cliches. Overall though I really liked the show and think it's worth the watch.",7 "If you like to be bored and fall asleep easily then start watching ""Knives out"". I could stand 15 min before I realized that this would be a marathon hell Agatha Christie inspired movie. My daughter agreed and while we were still awake we walked out.",2 "I watched ""Jodha Akbar"" Yesterday............. I must say this is the best periodic movie ever made in the history of Indian Cinema.... The movie is 3:30 Min's long!!! But I never felt a bit bored .The Urdu dialogs go over the head......But that's OK cause in the real mughal time they even had spoken in more difficult Urdu... The second half is nothing less than SpEcTaCuLaR...!!! Hrithik!!! By far, this is his best performance ever...! I can't imagine anyone else playing this character other than him... even Aishwarya has done justice to her character.... (she looks gorgeous in this movie ) Hats off to Ashutosh Gowarikar.... ! Wat a movie! No wonder this movie has taken almost two years for making.... the hard work really shows on the screen! A.R.Rehman....... has given a very good background score. He's a genius. Watch out the ""Azeem - o -Shaan.... "" track.... this one song is enough to show the richness of the movie... the quality of background score... and the talent of the director and his team who have handled hundreds of dance artists perfectly. Also watch out for -The War sequence in the beginning. -Hrithik taming the elephant. (This was breath taking stuff!!!) -Sword fight between Hrithik and Aish. -Hrithik practicing with the sword. -The Agra scenes. -The climax one on one fight. Though the movie is 3:30 Min's long.... if you like watching a periodic movie, don't miss this one.... Its a True Masterpiece...!",10 "While Henry Cavill as Geralt, Joey Batey as Dandelion, and a few other actors sit really well into their roles I feel the producers really went over the top with inclusion. I'm all for actors of color, but when the setting is in medieval Polish fantasy, it seems really out of place seeing Fringilla being played by Mimi Ndiweni. It's like watching a Latino actor play a samurai character in a historical medieval Japanese film. This isn't the only questionable role selection... Also, why do the Nilfgaardian armor sets look like shriveled up ball sacks? It's like I'm watching Monty Python, but even they had better set pieces. Its disappointing to see a lot of potential with the plot, script, characters, and acting being ruined by a few questionable production choices which breaks the immersion.",5 "I guess we are supposed to care about the characters, otherwise this could have been an episode of The Boys. Even though The Boys has decended into a boring mess, it is at least coherent and full of action. Gen V got perpetually more and more ridiculous, I waited for something significant to happen, but it was just one generic drama after another, all in an attempt to place an ethical dilema at the feet of the audience, but the characters were so incredibaly unlikeable and carboard that that decision, at least for me, was easy. The episodes were filled with cliches and shoehorning modern social tropes in such an unnatural and forced way. The original X-men animated series is a good example of the way mutants didn't fit into society, despite their powers, Gen V just takes the same tired crap and regurgitates it as a turd that made no sense. There was no ryhme or reason for the existence of any one character that we're supposed to care about, except for it to relate to some esoteric minority that idetifies as insufferably unique. When will the writers get this doesn't work, its not like the past isn't littered with movies and series that were rejected and lost money because they forced their agenda on the audience. Its painful and tedious.",1 Aditya Roy Kapoor's role was totally unnecessary. He ruined it for me.,7 "Visually stunning, excellent characters and extraordinary villains. The reboot storyline has enough tie backs to the original while refreshing the story and characters for a 21st century audience.",9 "This is not a movie. This is PURE fanservice, this is something I can't even imagine, trash. The plot of this movie is Spiderman acting like a 11 years old kid with an high doctor strange accomplishing his dreams, that crazy and this is just an excuse to pull out of the cylinder random characters with absolutely no sense to exist (or maybe just to make people into the cinema scream). I think one of the worst if not the worst MCU movie I've ever seen and after this movie I'm completely done with MCU, at least Captain Marvel has a plot and a sense to exist, this movie is an insult.",3 "Quality and frequent tension. But it's a wonder that anyone survives. Suspending disbelief, as required per this plot, is impossible.",7 "Really disappointed in this movie. It was soulless, artistic, lacked any real depth of characters and badly cut.",3 "Once again I have a very good movie, which I loved, and I find myself being annoyed by the little bits that went wrong. OK, maybe not so very little, but still, most of the movie is superbly done. The acting, the pacing, all the technical aspects - every thing is first class. Even what I think is the core of all good comics adaptation - the moral debate around which the entire story revolves. What do you do when you can do almost everything, or in other words what do you do when almost none can stop you. To this very important discussion that many fail to notice because they pay too much attention to the magnificent action scenes and all the fireworks and the CGI. Another layer of moral debate is added, about the nature of all consuming revenge. And again it's done with full respect to matters discussed, not just superficially as an excuse for all the twists and turns of the plot. But then we arrive at the but, the unfortunate annoying but. Here goes: with all the scheming and superb planning, the ending works only if we get these very specific three characters locked together, like they obviously end up. But there's no way anyone could forecast that they will be the three arriving there, that they will be the only three arriving. I can't elaborate without adding spoilers and I won't but this means the stitches holding the plot together are all too evident - this film deserved better. When everything else is so perfect, the plot should be up to par and not the weakest link, and the plot is going all through the film, not in bits. Every time I think about it, I get angry again, and I did like the movie a lot. That's just plain shame.",9 A very poor addition to my Tarantino movie collection. Where's the story ? And Brad Pitt got an Oscar ? why ? Did nobody else want one that year ? This was a classic example of 2 hours of movie-making going absolutely nowhere .,5 "Well action is good acting is average, and story vell play dumb for my taste...big hipe didnt delivere...happy anding non of caracter didnt grov and well just cash grab with not much fun elemnts....not bad par say but not good for 8,1 I give it 2 on a good day...not becouse its so bad but becouse we see all of this so many times before",2 "I came to know about this movie after coming across a list of Top South Movies. I really expected something like Drishyam but it turned out to be another overhyped movie like Ratsasan with no good script, annoying acting and useless characters. Totally wasted 2 hours 15 minutes on this movie.",1 "I made it to the midway point of episode 5, so determined was I to like this programme. I have no idea how they have managed to make this story this boring. Henry Cavill is dreadful. The bard character a terrible actor and terribly annoying. The effects are sub-par. What a waste",4 "I really ""like"" the boy / girl Charaktere...it shows how easy it is to switch gender in a blink of an eye ...a simple shapeshifter isen't enough anymore. Seriously it is utterly nonsense but the kids will love it . I don't like the show it is just to much ...to cool and in the end just boring. Off course i like the Boys universe but here it is just over the top with pure style over substance. The plot is weak and barely entertaining and the violence is at least funy in a strange way. I the end i care about no one and don't hope for a second season. A placeholder nothing more. Not a tottaly waste of time but close to it.",5 "IMHO, just like ""The Matrix"" should have stopped after the first movie, Russian Doll should have stopped after season 1. **I highly recommend watching Season 1 and stopping there.** Although Season 2 started with some potential, in the end it was a jumbled story that just didn't really seem to lead anywhere. I felt it was a waste of time; thankfully it only totaled to 7 episodes for a total runtime of around 3 hours w/o credits.",8 "4 stories, each having their own perspective of right and wrong which eventually collides together to unravel the mysteries and how each are interconnected. An excellent screenplay and fabulous direction by Anurag Basu which will keep audience in their toes with also lot to laugh about regularly. The casting has been fabulous and each character has justified their role with utmost sincerity and perfection. Not many songs in this drama but overall sound and bgm is on point. You will fall in love with the story, and entertainment with satisfaction is guaranteed. One of the best movies in 2020.",9 "I was a BIG fan of the original. I have to admit after 3 episodes of nothing but kiddie banter, I was going to give up on this show (like so many others seemed to have done on here). But I went the distance. I am not going to say it's terrible, but it's far from great. This show could have been so much more. It gets a little better episodes 4-10, but the dialogue, especially from the children at times, just makes you get annoyed that you committed yourself to watching this.",5 I'm half way through the series and it's gotten so dark. Really love the show but the introduction of the potential devil at the end of episode 4 just freaked me out. Have to stop watching it 😢,8 This is a fairly accurate portrayal of life in small town America where everyone knows or is related to everyone else. The script follows the usual pattern of constantly introducing red herrings to confuse and distract until the final twist at the end. There are irrelevant scenes scattered throughout the episodes that all seemed unnecessary since they really didn't contribute much to the series. The acting is top notch and the casting a good match for the type of population found in these townships.,7 The only thing that is okay in this movie is chris acting but as i mentioned in the headline Nothing Special here . Jason Bourne and John Wick already did a better job .,7 "Theater review: if you like CGI works, you have to go to the big screen! The beginning was so eye catching and hold my breath. (Although I wasn't able to remember the prison escapee Grindelwald was the one who got caught from the first movie.) To be honest, the plots are kinda messy for anyone who is not a novel fan of JK Rowling, even I watched the whole series movies of Harry Potters and Fantastic Beast 1, and I still have troubles to figure out the storyline. Enter Fantastic Beast 2, the confusion built up more by unable to catch the characters' moves and the plot developments, I confused, I doubt myself: did I skip any plots or dialogues? But I did not, the movie has so many store-lines to tell, it breaks down into so many different pieces for different characters, made it uncomplete as an individual movie. The novels might have a largescale with many epic stories. But a 2 hours movie can never tell all of them; Audiences can't tell which is primary because the karma was made up with so many causes and effects. Fantastic Beast 2 is a fans mobie, a super long extended trailer, a novel image supplement that built with amazing CGI, however and anyway, this is not an individual movie that tells a complete story. Lastly, the movie only tells a little about Newt and his beasts, wasn't the novel name Fantastic Beast and it should focus on Newt and his beasts?",6 "This show is good, but.... Parker Poseys, Dr. Smith is crap. She looks like she stuck a fork in a light socket, and she is so obviously not a nice, ""real"" Dr. Smith. With so much real danger around them they could do without her. Toby Stephens is amazing as always an the young Robinson clan is great. Please lose dr smith and get back to the real danger of getting lost in space.",9 "The story is too predictable. Nothing enjoyable, no climax, only action. Also shown the plot in Bangladesh ,but not a single shot in Bangladesh, no native actors, and of course Bangladesh is not a country with child soldiers and with violence in the road as it has shown. -_-",1 "The movie doesn't feel like a batman movie, i don't understand why christopher nolan adapt batman and batman characters into the real world doesn't even feel like a comic book movie also does not look aesthetically beautiful, i think nolan's cinematography is very ordinary. The story is not as perfect as everybody says character designs and origins not like the cb even the fight scenes are not well directed.. I think zack snyder understands batman better, it handled it better even though it wasn't a batman movie (in batman v superman: dawn of justice) One more big problem: the city doesn't feel like gotham, gotham has always had a chaotic atmosphere it looks more like new york in the movie There's a ton of cool batman stories to tell and nolan did not inspired by any of them I'm not against directors telling their own stories but if you're directing a comic book movie then you must stick to where it adapted",5 "It's a good movie, completely different twist. But it's impossible to fully enjoy as you are getting left wing lectured from the opening scene until the end.",6 "I can't believe the fawning reviews on here presumably because of the actors or director. The plot is glacially slow and the dialogue fairly tedious. Very little actually happens in the movie to make you care about the characters who are poorly developed. Tarantino or the producers I suspect have been backed by the tobacco industry to feature cigarettes in almost every scene. It really is quite jarring and it undermines the credibility of the entire project - which the script manages to also do so a double whammy of selling your soul and bland mediocrity are the main takeaways. I'll give it 3 stars for the sense of time and place and the cars and wardrobe dept. To reiterate others The Emperors New Clothes.",3 "I guess everyone has once seen a church service young American denominations-style. It's like female choir is singing, someone's playing synth or guitar, and a priest in front of them shouts ""God is love"", and ""Jesus loves you."" The lambs shout back these things and all other stuff which is familiar to everyone who has heard something of Christianity. ""The Matrix"" has very much in common with such ceremonies. An action movie with an original aesthetics and slow motion can be interesting to watch, just like listening to gospels is sometimes an unalloyed pleasure. But the problem about ""The Matrix"" is its annoying sermon. With an incredible solemnity and wannabe-prophetical intonation we're fed with an alloy of the most common places philosophy knows. The famous ""There is no spoon"" phrase - Neo's pupils widen, now he understands everything. A stupid watcher is supposed here to make two or three thinking operations and feel satisfacted for being smart. The intention is simple - or I give too much credit for Wachowskis, maybe this half- philosophy is really the ultimate one for them. It's possible to associate solipsism and platonism with a modern virtual reality concept cleverly and softly. Wachowskis, however, do it boldly and pushily. Even the spoon quote is not enough, they also use messiah figure, i.e. Neo himself. Now it's a serious business. Neo's gonna show people what they don't wanna see (quote-unquote). The film starts to fail in amusement at once because Neo hogs the story's blanket; however, film's grandiloquence increases to an unbelievable level. Thus, ""The Matrix"" is an example of movie which is trying to seem what it's not. Wachowskis try to insert their simple story of people in stylish black coats into as many classical contexts as possible: here we have Nebuchdenazzar, and messiah, and also Morpheus, - whilst the ideological concept is more like of a high school student's essay on a subject of philosophy, compiled in one night before deadline. That's what is the word ""tedious"" exists. Nevertheless, it occurred to be the rightest thing. (By the way, effectiveness of such model is well-known: in literature it's exploited by Richard Bach and Paolo Coelho, to name a few.) More than ten years have passed, and still millions of Wachowskis' lambs singing and dancing, and repeating whatever the siblings say. ""There is no spoon,"" chant Wachowskis. ""There is no spoon,"" echoes the congregation deliriously.",5 "After Infinity War, this has been one of the best MCU content I've watched.",9 "There are two reasons why I wanted to see this movie. One, it had a high rating of 8.1 and two it was considered a high probability of being selected for the award of best film, for Michelle Yeoh for best actress, for Jamie Lee Curtis for best supporting actress and for Ke Huey Kwan for best supporting actor. While the acting awards seemed justified since the acting was good, I have very strong reservations about the best picture bit. The movie described in Wikipedia as an ""absurdist science fiction comedy drama"" is extremely difficult to sit through and a torturous watch for most of the time. It can be described as inane, bizarre, aweful, nonsensical, chaotic, crazy, strange, trite, mind numbing, cringe worthy and basically an assault on the senses which drains you physically and mentally. After the first 40 minutes starts the madness which gets worse with time. The fights, the VFX, the fast paced martial arts, the high decibel music are okay for some time but it gets excruciating if one has to sit through for 2 hour 19 minutes of runtime. I was disappointed big time. The background of a parallel universe with virtual reality didn't help to make things interesting and made it look strange. The disjointed, meandering and confusing narrative and the superfast editing pace had me flummoxed. What a mess it looked.",3 "So I finally went through the entire series of Overlord. I quite enjoyed myself even though there was some of that weird stuff being pushed out onto the real world with ""boys dressing in girls clothes"" crap. Really weirded and creeped me out, but luckily that wasn't a major point in the show. Just shortly mentioned once or twice and fell off of plot. The action was cool but there were some inconsistencies with Ainz's character from being benevolent to malevolent. Please make it make sense. The plot was pretty dry too. My questions always were why are you fighting these people and why are you taking everything away from them? Sure, we're told about someone who killed Shalltear but was quickly forgotten. Not to mention, we never learn any of Demiurge's plans when not even Ainz knows what he's doing. Doesn't make sense , but whatever. Some people might not like it but that is entirely up for you to decide. Don't listen to anyone else's thoughts or opinions on anything until you weighed things out for yourself. This isn't a horrible series but it's not a great one either. So you judge it first.",7 She's such a terrible actress. I can't stand her in anything she's in.,1 "I can not believe that this movie has been so highly spoken of as it has. Personally I was getting irritated while watching, that two adults in one of the most exciting capitols in the world cannot seem to enjoy themselfes, because they are soooo special and soooo much more intelligent than all other people in the entire world. I also think that the movie reflects badly upon Japan. Most of the Japanese characters are ridiculous and loud and very stupid....I´m sorry but that is a characteristic more likely to describe Americans... The only positive thing I have to say about this movie is that the acting was ok.",4 "Decent cast and concept but it fell way short of opportunity. Teased a room full of characters that hadn't built up any back story so we're irrelevant as the dining cast. In the end it was far fetched, it's not art it's just plain balmy. It had some touches of Midsommer in it, which didn't work. There was no character building of the chef and seemed like there was plot holes as we went. Maybe the high scores are from the arty crowd and I've missed the point completely or maybe there isn't any substance to review. Anya TJ was well cast, I'd never cast RF in this role and NH suited the shy hey geeky food lover. Avoid for something else.",4 "First of all, I haven't play the game so my review is based on only movie and I don't know how I would rate it if I played the game. The first episode was good enough. It keeps you in front of the screen promising some good continuation. Unfortunately, after that it was just boring. It's fair to mention that after the second episode I was thinking what are going to be the next series that I can watch cs I was waiting for the end of the movie. The third episode was totally out of the movie lane. Seems like the team really wants an Oscar or another achievement so they just spent full episode in the movie about zombies on some lgbt stuff and it was not just ridiculous but even funny. Pedro Pascal was on his level no any disputes but I was way more surprised how good was Bella Ramsey. She def has a bright future. In total we've got very overrated, overhyped, boring and scene by scene OK series, second season of which I am not gonna watch for sure. Have a feeling of wasted time.",1 "I enjoyed the early scenes of Gaga especially with the drag queens...love Shangela!! After that I just wanted to leave largely because of Bradley Cooper, both his voice and directing style. Every moment he spoke was unbearable. Also, other than his money or for pity I could not see one reason for Gaga's character to fall in love with him. He was pretty gross other than without his shirt but come on..would he really have that body with that lifestyle? One more thing...why would the type of music he was playing (what was it rock?) be filling auditoriums in 2018? Go see Bohemiam Rhapsody instead.",2 "When I watched the movie the first time, I was still a kid and thought it was a little boring, but now, rewatching it I can see how great of a movie it is, the beginning of the movie makes you feel that everything is in danger, how dangerous the world has become and it gave me chills, after that, the movie slows down a little but it gives us very significant interactions between the characters and thats where the interesting part is, its very subtle, but interesting and deep, and it also gives the characters time to think what they should do and the next step they should take. Its amazing.",8 "I know this has probably been said before, but the movie just isn't going to ever be Harry Potter. The reason that film was so interesting for so long is because everything was new, and the characters were kids. It's hard to follow a movie filled with adults that is based on a call to adventure with magic. The plot is just far too grown up for us to be enthralled. Newt is a rather tired character and so are his creatures, there is only so far these characters can go before we grow weary of them. The biggest seller of the movie was obviously Dumbledore and the chance at seeing what the magic world was like long before the reign of the ""Slytherin heir"" comes. The problem is this really doesn't bring much insight into the world of magic any more than fantastic beasts did, at least for most of the movie. There are parts in it that ramp up and they do a good job but it's not the same magic as HP delivers. Grindelwald however I feel did a great job and wasn't too over the top or hard to believe and I found the few twists that were in the story was interesting at least. I dunno...it just leaves you wanting more which is ok for being the second movie in an otherwise long series, but each HP movie always had an interesting story of its own to tell, where as this one didn't feel like it did, it was more of a continuation of the first and it's still not over with. I wont give it a bad rating but I'd say it doesn't live up to any expectations and there were some plot holes that need to be filled. I would say the animation and effects were much better than the first one at least in some parts, so that's something to look forward to. I'm hoping moving forward this series really starts diving into core characters and gives them some serious development and backstory because they are far too interesting to leave out like they did in this one. Grindelwald is interesting sure but the other characters are basically forgetable aside from he and dumbledore.",7 "Interstellar is like physics for idiots. It is a mess of Kubrickian proportions. We are to believe characters like scientists explain simple principles to other scientists? for the sake audience understanding? Insulting. Interstellar is full of big ideas that implode into a black hole of stupidity so dense that not even light can escape it! This movie reminded me a little of the Brian DePalma flick Mission To Mars, which is not a compliment. Mission is worse, but both directors are attempting too large a project for their abilities. Normally exceptional actors like Gary Sinise (Mission) and Matthew McConnaughey (Interstellar) can't reach potential in either film - more than likely because the scripts are so poorly written and the lines so improbable. Character development is weak, and imagery is strange more than fascinating. I like some of the attempts to steal from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Unfortunately the 1968 art epic still holds up better than Interstellar's science fiction attempt nearly 50 years later.",4 How can you not possibly shocked by this episode when you watch for the first time? Isayama is a genius to create such an epic.,10 "Was strange watching a film where I spent most of it thinking of the cartoon version. This was the best it could be in 3D, but being a realistic rendition didn't really match the songs or tone of the story.",4 "The public's interest in the film ""Logan"" was riveted long before the release of the picture. The advertising campaign positioned the project as the last chapter in Hugh Jackman's seemingly endless Wolverine story. And the finale was supposed to be a harsh project, where the old man-Logan had to show off his charisma, his bestiality, his power for the last time. I had to. But I couldn't. The events take place in the near future, where the bright and comic world of X-Men has been replaced by faded colors and desolation. Wolverine attracts a miserable existence, somehow makes ends meet, and looks after an old friend and mentor Charles Xavier, who has turned into an infirm old man. The very concept of the work plunges the viewer into apathy and despondency from the very start. And if at first it seems that this is the setting of the picture, the need for a plot for the subsequent disclosure of the characters, then by the middle of the work you realize that the pallor of colors and actions on the screen is complemented by a vague plot and a frankly meager script. Yes, Logan has aged. Yes, it is wildly difficult for him in this harsh and unfriendly world of the future for a man. He suffers from the past, is not looking for a better life, just exists without any evolution. The young heroine X-23 who appeared in the old man's life changes little for the better, frankly trying to simply show a young version of Wolverine and a replacement for the beloved hero. The result is not impressive, and initially cold to the girl, Wolverine almost turns into her father during the film. The message is clear, and many places after the film I heard and saw exactly ""Father"", but in the film I did not feel it at all. The film has an adult rating, it was declared as a mature movie with philosophical overtones and a desire to analyze Logan's life and its finale, the point where the beloved hero turned out to be after decades and even centuries of his existence. But it is not possible to philosophize how ""Logan"" should be. All attempts look faded and superficial. It seems that you are watching an author's low-budget project that does not give answers to questions and is not remembered in any way. There must be a lot of cruelty in the picture. Yes. She is present. But was it worth focusing on this in the advertising campaign? And in general, was there any sense in such a decision, especially considering that there will be children in the film. It is quite possible that the usual rating would work, although it is unlikely that a young audience would be imbued with the presented plot. What is the result? In my opinion, the project came out frankly weak. There is little action in the picture, it is quite monotonous. The plot is devoid of any background, there was a seemingly unexpected turn of events, where Logan met a worthy opponent, but it absolutely did not impress. The drama I was hoping for also didn't turn out. It all looked as if the old grandfather remembers the past days, does not want anything in life, and they dump it all out to us under the sauce of apathy and sadness. For some reason, I have a comparison with the third part of Nolan about Batman, where the hero also seemed to be in a difficult moral situation, but that farewell looked much more dramatic. And I don't compare the budgets of the paintings and the production as a whole. It is clear that Nolan's ""Dark Knight"" is generally much larger. But there was drama there, but not in Logan. I didn't like the movie. The acting of Jackman and Stewart is good, but everything else does not count towards the picture. 4 out of 10.",4 "Great music, but not better than that! Story is predictable.. Its copied from a bollywood movie named Aashiqui 2.",2 "This is a movie that a lot of people consider as masterpiece, but for me it isn't, but I'll understand why others consider it as one. The genius in this movie is the use of sound, the ticking sound throughout the movie makes your brain think that something might happen every second. It really keeps you on the edge of your seat. The only flaw is that it didn't have enough character development, but I can understand why. There wasn't a certain hero, every soldier was a hero so it tried to give you perspective of many, who fought. Recommend.",7 "Sorry to say but it was terrible, the x men franchise ran out of story lines so hammed this piece together. It only got 2 stars due to Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewarts performance, out of my entire dvd collection it is at the bottom of the pile. I have seen some really bad movies in my time this is one of the better bad movies but will not watch it again or recommend it either.",2 "I'm quoting Palekastr0. ""2 hours of gold, 8 hours of boredom."".. This started of really we'll. Very intriguing and an interesting story. But after two episodes it became incredibly boring. I did fast forward the last three episodes. So disappointed.",4 This is how I show shouldn't be done doesn't not feel like marvel at all biggest flop and so predictably dry can't stand it.,1 "As a movie junkie of all types, I watch just about everything to the end. I think we had to leave Dumbo when I was a kid because I was crying so hard but that's about it. It took me three settings to get to the middle and then I couldn't go on. NOTHING, the movie gave me nothing. It was completely boring that I couldn't make it to the end. I'm a boomer who likes action, thrillers, love stories, you name it. One of siblings said she white knuckled it to the end but it was miserable so I know that I'm not alone. I was shocked at what a disaster this movie is: bored me to death.",2 "Civil war...hold onto your seats people,because this movie is mind blowing.I personally do not watch many super-hero movies.I have a few names to mention when it comes to it,The Dark Knight trilogy still remains the best super-hero series for me.Now,I know I seriously should not be comparing DC Comic and Marvel universe,but this is exactly the case here.This movie has totally lived up to its expectation.The release of the teasers and trailers did not reveal much of a plot,but it was really well edited and subsequently became a back bone to the success of the film.The story of the film is simple and it stays simple to the very end.There are less elements of suspense throughout the movie which isn't necessarily a bad thing.For this movie,an expectation is panned out in every scene,but the director has given much more than we expect.The director has completely won in every department to capture the audience attention.The highlights of this film is the action scenes.There are three major action scenes in this film.My particular best is the fight scene at the beginning of the movie.Scarlett Johansen has rocked in some action sequences more than the others.The screenplay of the film is brilliant,I honestly did not feel time passing by while watching this 150 minute long film,in fact quite puzzled on short it was.The compelling scenes in the film makes it more interesting along the way.The music was magnificent.Kudos to the music director for understanding the script and composing great epic music.All technical aspects were well handled.Amazing cinematography and perfect VFX made this a greater level of visual experience.Final say,I watched a DC Comic movie this year,and I was totally unimpressed,now I have watched this,and it has become one of the best super-hero movies of all time,in my books.Don't go for a war,go home and watch Civil War...",8 "Amazing series for those who dream and work hard on their dreams to success. With TVF Pitchers, The Viral Fever team has written a new chapter in the Indian TV series industry where content triumphs episodes... Unlike other daily Soap eras currently that are stretched like a rubber band until it breaks, TVF Pitchers is to the point and creates an engagement with the characters, plot and the overall series episode after episode... I wish more such shows depicting reality of life with some cinematic experience or better say larger than life touch in the industry rather than same old boring melodramas that are nothing but over-hyped, over dramatized series based on unrealistic story lines.. Best of luck for Season 2. Waiting for it!!!",10 "I've just upgraded my 7 rating for this movie to a 10 having seen the excellent 2.1 cut, much better than the original. Its amazing what sacrifices a studio is prepared to make all for the sake of shaving off a few minutes from a movie. With those moments restored this movie has gone up immeasurably in my estimation. That's not to say the original was bad, its just that this is so much better. All the characters seem 'fuller' and the story telling is greatly assisted, the movie fires on all cylinders and forms a much more cohesive whole, I always thought that, in the original, the human story was very good but the whole super hero/villain thing was tacked on ... not so now, the comic book stuff now complements and forms part of the bigger story. Great stuff and definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it already.",10 "I'm not here to talk about historical accuracy or give you any commentary on communism I simply want to say this is a fantastic mini series with A+ acting that left me wanting more. We all know the story but you haven't heard it like this, I was on the edge of my seat despite knowing exactly what was going to happen next.",9 "I don't give anything about hypes. Never. I have waited for some time to watch it finally. I heard good things / I heard bad things without any spoilers - luckily. I've just watched it and yeah there are some questions marks open at the end but still it was a good trip. A bit mad because I totally want some answers, but I have to think about the tension and the stress throughout the film. Bullock does a good job. In general the cast is okay-ish. If you like apocalyptic films ... Just watch it. At the end there's a bit of disappointment but some relief too because you have watched and made it trough the hell ride trip of escaping and saving your children movie.",7 "I can't believe it has a 9.4 rating! A 2 hour movie would have been more enough to tell the story. Acting was good why I give it 2 stars instead of 1.",2 "I share the opinion of SirJustin: "" The Witcher TV series is a major disappointment. The root cause of most problems with the series is, without a doubt, bad writing. It is because of poor writing that fantasy series with a great storyline, huge fanbase and developed universe still feels like a B- grade TV production. No matter how much money Netflix has poured into the Witcher series, the lack of character building, the plot-jumping, the laughably unrealistic dialogues - all of it makes it nearly impossible to enjoy the show.""",1 Don t get what everybody likes about thuis Oxford englisch speaking russians. Looks like some screenplay in Some town. I get the intention That everybody is holding down to sing like in Les Miserables.,5 "As many have pointed out this movie could be divided into 3 parts. The first part is slow, boring and too long. The second part is quite good and have shades of the first movie which was way better. The third part and the ending is somewhat strange and not really a satisfying conclusion. That said it's not really bad but it's not on the same level as the first movie. The beginning goes on for way too long before it goes into the kind of story you expect and even there the first movie is better. I still believe it's watchable if you enjoy the genre because the middle is entertaining and what you expect. Hopefully the third part can step it up again.",6 "Question. What is the hype around this movie? It is complete nonsense, quite badly made and we have a universe where everyone has hot dogs for fingers.... Some of the acting is cheap, the writing is cheap, the imagination of alternate universes is cheap, the 'message' of the movie is corny an cheap. It is BAFFLING how this movie has been nominated for Oscars for any category, let alone best film. The Oscars and their credibility have sunk even further down the pan. It whiffs of token gestures. It's an insult to anyone's intelligence watching it and suggesting to them this is possibly the best movie of the last 12 months. It tries to be funny, Jamie Lee Curtis's performance comes closest to achieving anything like comedic. The end. Even that storyline goes cringe in the end though. I'll try and end on a positive and say I've sat through worse. That's the best I can do. Complete rubbish.",4 "I went out of my way to find a venue screening the film in IMAX 3D HIGH FRAME RATE because that is how I viewed the original in which the visual quality was like nothing I had ever seen. I have 30 years of work experience with WDI, working with 3D video projection among other things. For some inexplicable reason, Cameron chose to economize, only presenting action scenes in HFR, and the venue clearly did not have the skills to properly set up their 3D projection equipment. The image quality was terrible!!! The quality of these shortcomings plus the $20 ticket price left me very frustrated. If Cameron cannot do better than this, I will not bother with the sequels. Frankly, I really wish he would get over his blue-tailed-monkey thing and dive into something new and more creative. I worked on The Abyss and know he can do better.",3 "This afternoon I went to see DUNKIRK since a dear friend from the UK (and she knows who she is) recommended it the other day. I thought the film really captured the panic, terror, and confusion of battle, but I didn't particularly like any of the characters and I thought the dialogue was very poorly written (and hard to hear.) Some things I thought were just silly, like the way the pilot in the ocean can't open his escape hatch just so the nice man in the boat can rescue him more excitingly! And the way those soldiers all climb into a boat that's just lying on the sand and then just wait until they get shot at and start yelling at each other. Worst of all was the Spitfire that just ran out of gas in mid air, and just went right on gliding along for another half hour! Beneath the silliness, there was a lot of spineless political correctness. I listened closely, (had to, with such dreadful sound editing and a dreadful soundtrack) but I never once heard the word ""Nazi,"" or the word ""Hitler."" Or Gestapo, or Brownshirt, or Jew. You'd never know the ""enemy"" had done anything to fill the mild-mannered British people with such desperate resolve! Who on earth were the film makers covering up for? And what exactly did they imagine they were celebrating? Shell shock and shaky nerves? Men hitting each other in blind panic? Random explosions and tons of flame? Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky? (Now THAT would have livened up the soundtrack.) If you watch this movie, you won't learn anything about how the British pulled off a miracle at Dunkirk. Or why Hitler was a menace and his army were criminals. But you will see lots of close ups of Kenneth Branagh and you will have lots of time to contemplate the sublime beauty of his flabby old face looking pained and noble. Thanks chaps! If you ever want to see a really good movie about this exact moment in British history, you should watch MRS. MINIVER with Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon. It was made in Hollywood but it's such a loving tribute to the British people, their kindness and gentleness and sense of humor as well as their strength and patriotism. It's a million times better than Dunkirk!",4 "Moviegoers above the age of 13 will recognize most of the action set pieces and plot elements from other films. There's an elevator fight, which we've seen before. Evil cops, evil suits, ""big brother"" danger, some running from fire and more explosions. The fundamental problem with these movies is that you never feel like the main characters are in any danger. No matter how much of a beating Captain America takes, he's going to live to make sequels. The same goes for all of the popular cast members. Given the immortality of the good guys, the only question is How they're going to get out of peril. Don't expect anything new here. The best writing is happening on television, sadly. Film-quality writing is going to HBO and independent networks, and television directors are moving to the big screen. This one is all washed up. Hail hydra.",4 "This looked a really good series, first episode got me hooked, half way through this series I was falling asleep, such a mis mash it doesn't make any sense what so ever. If you have nothing else to watch then it's a viable choice, but I wouldn't recommend it at all.",2 "One of a top horror movie in this year, theatre experience, sound effects, the sounds and scenes are so horrific in this film. Watch this on theatres better in small room on the 3rd row, they make a good experience in sounding,one of an horrifying theme in this film they added. If anyone not interested in horror films try this one💀 i will give the rating as 10. Nobody knows about this movie if watch this one you will thrilled. I was thinks it was just a normal horror movie but they changed the movie scenes to great themes and sounds, theatre level experience one of the best experiences in this scenes and sounds you heard. Try this one.",10 "If you want to feel boiled over rage from the fact that Michael Bay is still allowed near a camera/film set and people are still watching/producing his movies..... this is for you if you'd like to keep a positive attitude and not ruin yoyr night, skip this movie",1 "Really, who better than Rian Johnson to bring the whodunit into a divisive and diatribe-ridden 2019? His usual affection for his characters and irreverent humour are employed to great effect in a studied, snappy, and surprisingly warm genre yarn that grapples with entitlement and integrity in provocative, unexpected ways. Craig, De Armas, Jamie Lee and Plummer all play against type wonderfully. What a blast!",7 "Nice movie to watch. Must watch show. Will tell you story of people living in slums. Dialogues are really funny. You will love acting of slums Much better movie than action movie of just rich Bollywood actors. Such movie should be made randomly.",10 "I watched and read a lot of Sherlock Holmes, Poirot etc... I saw the twist coming at the beginning. So there went that aspect. Next was the lame attempt at subtle political commentary. That failed. Then you look at the director's previous work and the movie feels tired. The reason I give this any stars is because the a tors were ok, the camera work was great, the set was awesome, and that's it. It's pretty but that's about it. Just like looper, it was more about style and ideas than actual plot. Both films felt forced and underwhelming. Don Johnson was decent, I didn't mind Daniel Craig's hammy performance, and Ana De Harmas was decent.",3 "The movie has no plot, only good actors that are just not enough to save it. It you take the brand names (DiCaprio, Pitt, Tarantino, Al Pacino, etc) you are left with an empty movie.",3 "I ONLY watched this movie because of the Movie Rating here on IMDb. Let me save you if you have not watched it yet: Watching this movie was torture. Do NOT watch this movie and do NOT let the rating fool you. The movie is unbelievably boring, no main character and no connection between the actors. There was just no feels in this movie. The movie is disgustingly slow, underwhelming and horrible as a whole. This movie robbed my time. I will never let IMDb Movie Rating fool me ever again, if possible. Save yourself and shove the thought of watching this movie away completely.",1 "Period. And if you want to include movies that seem inspired by the genre of comics, such as Dark City and The Matrix, go ahead. Spider-Man 2 is funnier, more powerful, more Amazing, more Spectacular (couldn't resist) than anything you've seen before. I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but the film was perfect. I would not have changed anything. And brother, I mean it. The conversations between Peter and Otto? Perfect. James Franco's performance? Perfect. Peter and MJ going back and forth? Perfect. The elevator scene? Classic. The fight scenes? Don't get me started. I can say no more. I went to the midnight show, I'm going again tomorrow afternoon with a lucky, lucky lady, and I'll be going again this weekend. I didn't get home til 230 in the AM but there is no way that I can sleep right now. That's it. Just go. And go again.",10 Not sure how this film has managed to get anywhere near to an 8 - it is a very dull film that thinks it is cleverer than it actually is! Not a case of Whodunit but more like Whocares.,1 "The show was amazing and a bit different than what we used to see in MCU. The fact that story didn't go how you imagined it doesn't mean it's poorly written. I'm seeing people saying ""Loki's character is ruined""; no its called character development. However I can't deny the fact that it was rushed. I like the ""self love"" metaphor, it's unique and a bit weird but Sophia and Tom pulled it out perfectly. Relationship between Mobius and Loki was also so fun to watch. Like always, marvel did a great job on casting. I can't imagine anyone else playing Mobuis and Sylvie other than Owen Wilson and Sophia Di Martino. They perfected their roles. I generally like the plot but it feels forced at some points just to lead to this specific ending. However it definitely doesn't deserve the harsh criticism it's getting and a point below 7. Can't wait to see which direction they will be going in season 2.",9 "First off, huge Tarentino fan. All his other films were unique, although this film just had no plot whatsoever. Just like pulling things put of the air.",6 "Review for season 2. I Liked Season One. The ship and effects! But at episode 7 of the second season nothing has changed! It's all escape and potential threat! No new adventure or discovery , which I thought might happen when some stuff was discovered at sea, but no. I want to like this show! Where is the Science Fiction!? Story telling? Someone mentioned 'Days of Our Lives' and I agree. So far I can't think of anything worth mentioning! Ill go watch the Original Series now. I'm actually angry :(",2 "It was very fresh kind of film at that time. Dialogues were very real, how we usually talk everyday. I really loved both the stories. Even though Harleen character barely speak anything but it looks kind of apt as girls were ""supposed"" to be shy in those times - still liked her performance, and I hoped to see her in more films. But. :( Deepika & Saif - an odd pair but after watching the film I really liked them. Both timelines have many relatable elements - my environment is mix of both tradition and modernity. And the songs are absolutely brilliant. I can still recall all the lyrics of all the songs. It was a perfect movie. And obviously the LAJ (2020) was not at all needed or at least they could have spared the album.",10 "I read comic books years ago but not for a long time. I have watched many of the Marvel films already released but don't have that foundation that the fan-boys have. My mistake was not realizing there was a previous movie when I went to this one. So it took a little information from my twenty something son to get me up to speed. I'm sure most of you reading this know the Captain America mythos. This is a high speed, action every minute, mind bending experience. The individual characters are interesting and complex. I still need to watch the first movie to actually figure out the whole ""Shield"" and ""Hydra"" thing and how it works and what Captain America has done. However, when you have your characters being pursued by the most formidable of villains, it isn't necessary to have an encyclopedic knowledge of all this stuff. For an old fogie, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and look forward to going back and watching the first one",8 "The main reason why I really loved the first ""Knives Out"" is because it was a wondrous homage to classic and convoluted murder mysteries, and the genius oeuvre of Agatha Christie in particular. The only movie ""Glass Onion"" is bringing homage to is itself and its predecessor. I have rarely seen a film more pretentious and in love with itself than this one. I guess that's what happens if the world's most prominent streaming company - Netflix - offers a fortune to writer/director Rian Johnson to guarantee at least two more movies. Confidence is okay, of course, IF the story and whodunit aspects are absolutely flawless. That's not the case, though. The plot and character drawings are weaker, the satire is less sharp, and the unexpected twists and denouements are less ingenious. And yet, although overall weaker, ""Glass Onion"" remains a solid and well worth seeing mystery flick. The setting & characters are still reminiscent to the wonderful whodunits of yesteryears. Luxurious Greek islands, eccentric and rich people, dining rooms full of artworks, etc... All this still reminds me of Agatha Christie classics (like ""Evil under the Sun"" or ""And then there were None"") and ""The Last of Sheila"" is often mentioned as a source of inspiration, which was a splendid but sadly underrated mystery scripted by Stephen Sondheim (who makes a cameo) and Anthony Perkins. The cast and the performances are great, and some inventive touches in Johnson's screenplay are great. For example, how Benoit Blanc - being the super-detective that he is - ruins Miles Bron's meticulously prepared murder-game can only be described as truly genius. Unfortunately, I found myself eye-rolling and head-shaking a couple of times over twists and plot details that are clichéd and obsolete in the universe of the murder-whodunits. The twin sibling taking over, for instance. Or even worse, a pivot character gets shot in the heart, but as by wonder survives because the bullet is stopped by an object kept close to the heart. Seriously, Rian Johnson? You still dare to write a banality like this in the script of a $40,000,000 movie? The over-the-top grotesque and destructive climax also didn't work for me, but I'll stop here before the review comes across as too negative and harsh.",6 "Terrible acting, bad casting, slow timing, Whats flashback and what not? Thank you netflix",1 "Godfather Part: II, I think, beats Godfather I. Reason why? Because it's genius, and it puts a great story in a more higher and crazier level, and it's not corny or disappointing. Michael Corleone is taking over his mob family, making drastic decisions and changes, that's pretty much defined, completely reckless. Godfather Part II is like a completely different story, because it's the new Godfather, who's more cruel that his father. Genius making itself more genius and smart. Godfather Part II is definitely, in my eyes, the best sequel ever made, and will probably be the greatest sequel. It's a wonder how such two great, and nearly perfect films could be ended with Godfather Part III, which was a complete letdown. Watch Part II, and don't watch Part III. Don't ruin a perfect sequel by watching an imperfect sequel.",10 "Interstellar contains some of the most magnificent imagery you will see in any film this year; it is gorgeous to look at, technically spectacular, and creatively executed. But there are problems at some of the most basic levels. What the movie lacks is a believable script and striking, three dimensional characters to propel us onto this journey. And unlike two obvious reference points - Contact and 2001: A Space Odyssey, it doesn't have the scientific authority (i.e. a Carl Sagan or an Arthur C. Clarke) to bring its high minded concept to life in a believable fashion. Not that a film needs to be scientifically sound to be enjoyable, but Interstellar tries so hard to be profound and amazing that it lags in other crucial areas. Dialogue, pacing, and character development should have been locked in place before they conceived of taking an audience up into space with these people. What makes it all the more frustrating is that so many of the pieces seem to be in place, including a buffet of great actors who pop up with such frequency that we lose count - John Lithgow, Ellen Burstyn, Wes Bentley, Casey Affleck, Jessica Chastain, Topher Grace, Michael Caine etc etc all make respective appearances before disappearing entirely from our memories. Best among the bunch is Matthew McConaughey, who does his damned best to wring a performance out of his role as good ol' farmer/physicist Coop, but without the emotional tendrils, he's left drifting. Coop is decidedly McConoughey's least interesting or dynamic role since 2008's Surfer Dude. There are positives. The film has some moments of real invention - particularly when the crew start making their way through worm holes and black holes. These are the most interesting and beautiful visualizations of these phenomena I have ever seen, and the sheer detail of the visual effects during these sequences is astonishing, and Nolan's choice of slowing down the action long enough for us to reflect on its beauty is in the spirit of 2001's most evocative scenery. The film's score by Hans Zimmer is gorgeous, a hymnal ode to mankind which gives the impression that the entire soundtrack has been filtered through a cathedral. Like I said, a film like this will predictably shoot up the IMDb's top 200. It's designed for mass appeal, with just enough profundity to appeal to the critics. It will be nominated for lots and lots of stuff. And it should. But personally I want a film that has a bit more integrity at the script level.",6 "I feel like someone fed a computer a bunch of musicals, pop songs, and other pop culture and then had it write a movie. It is full of ""heartwarming"" and ""wholesome"" plot points but the movie as a whole tries to do too much and comes across as gimmicky. The songs are catchy and the costumes are fun but the movie is shallow overall. I don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with it. I don't regret watching it but I don't feel like I needed to or will bother to watch it again.",4 "This movie is annoying in several ways. The criminals are all goodhearted, thoughtful, sensitive guys while the guards and warden are the REAL bad guys. gimme a break. What is this? Dukes of Hazard? (which was far better than this). Further, the plot is so, so, so predicable. Good guy outsmarts the bad guys and real justice is served. spare me. I know, a lot of people love this flick, but in my humble opinion it is a big waste of time.",3 "Beautiful set, acting and wardrobe, but that's it movie had no plot. I'm a huge fan of QT and had high expectations from this film only to be let down. 2 stars for set, wardrobe and acting, the scenes just carried on for ever just when I thought the scene was going to go somewhere it was over. I truly dont understand how there is so many 9 and 10 star reviews, complete failure in my book. Maybe this QT film just went over my head.",2 "It's so good! It's more drama than action, and maybe people are just shallow... who's to know?! I love all the actors, esp. Kidman and Brian Tee (who plays her husband.) Ji-Young Yoo and Jack Huston are also great in their respective roles. This series is really about the individual characters rather than a plot. There's really no plot here to be honest. Maybe that's why folks do not like this series. But if you enjoy character-driven drama, then I think you'll enjoy this show as much as I'm enjoying it. Only one more episode to go at the time I'm reviewing this, so unless the next episode is catastrophically bad, I think it will remain one of top shows in a while!",10 This is an alright instalment for viewers to watch. The storyline could have been better. There was room for improvement for the crew to create this film better. The cast was truly outstanding. They did a spontaneous job committing and connecting to the storyline and to their respective characters. This instalment reveals to viewers the possibilities of what the past can do to anyone. The past can have a real impact and perhaps it can hurt. I have some memories from my past that I rather forget. I had a bad past. It can be like that for others as well. This a fine instalment for viewers to watch. I am sure that this a film to enjoy.,7 "This movie was an interesting twist on the usual themes of love and meeting ""the one."" On the surface Jim Carrey's character and Kate Winslet's Clementine seem ill-suited to each other and the break up seems in inevitable. But when the sci-fi memory erasing kicks in and they attempt to erase each other from their respective memories is when this movie gets interesting. It is a colorful, wild ride. Not my favorite movie, but it was entertaining. I suppose it was inevitable that Kirsten Dunst's character turns into the woman scorned who returns everyone's memory tapes, but that whole part of the film was a little sleazy. I think all of the performers did amazing characterizations. It was truly unique and gets points just for that. If you are not fond of the weird and the deep, rent Laws of Attraction. But, if you don't mind coloring outside the lines, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is worth a look.",7 I loved the first episodes and I'm really looking forward to the next ones to come.,10 "Following such a potent and remarkable build-up of the narrative, which is carefully staged through the first two acts of the screenplay; I was expecting nothing but a similarly impactful ending. But to my utter dismay, the final moments of the film not only have been highly disappointing but also came off as rough, disorderly, and pretty trivial to be honest. I don't know if it was the appalling prosthetics or the general incongruity of the write-up, but I did not get the kind of payoff I was hoping for! As an investigative thriller; yes, it does work albeit up to a certain degree, and has a few sparks of brilliance as well. Yet, where did all that eventually lead us to? Untidy, dissatisfying denouement.",7 "I only reason this movie get's a rating of 5+ is because of the trolls and people who love the movie just because of Tom Hardy and Venom really. Although I love Venom and Tom's acting, this feels like a bad combination to me. The synergie of those 2 characters clashing and the resolves they take during the movie is really questionalble. Eddie Brock is being portrait as a loser but they failed in my opinion and Venom is not so much a anti-hero. Apart from mayb 1 or 2 instances the movie is not funny when it really tries to be. About the origin story of Venom they did a remake, which is fine if you do it right, but did not deliver on a compelling alternative in my opinion.",2 "It is surprising how this movie fails to do justice to so many ambitious ventures it dares to explore. It reduces struggle of US soldiers to shallow narration. Iraqi civilians are pale silhouettes. The director does not dare to take any stance whatsoever, believing, I assume, that in such way viewers will have their own conclusions. However, ignoring political issues and pretending the film will find its place in the hearts of the viewers as moving story about common people in war madness – in this cinematic work is downright preposterous. The above is indeed possible when you are faced with gripping human story – which this movie is not. The plot tries to tackle several situations that are supposed to paint the experience with different colours and emotions. But the situations are so weakly set and motivated that movie turns into stream of boring and uncompleted stages. The attempts of characterisation are laughable. Utter disappointment of something that had potential of becoming solid and deep war movie. Its storytelling is diluted to horrible cinematic patchwork without pattern.",4 "Everybody in the series played their character very well, this especially being the case for Geralt and Yennefer. However, the constant talk about destiny gave the vibe of the directors trying to make the plot seem deeper and more meaningful that it actually is. The character arcs and the action were still impressive, but there are scenes in which character development is forced upon the viewers seemingly out of nowhere. The magic system is also confusing, as it appears to not be consistent. Still a very good and promising show, hope they make the second season with more rigour.",7 "I had been hearing about this movie for days,kept reading everywhere how good it is,and decided to go see it. Worst decision ever. Ever! I love me some musicals don't get me wrong but this movie was so boring that my friends and I had decided to walk out thirty minutes in. It was supposed to be a comedy? Yeah I don't know about that. Just another overrated movie. But I do want to give it up to Ryan, he did an amazing job and that he was the only good thing about this movie. Coming from an Emma Stone fan. It didn't deserve all the golden globes that it got. Hopefully the next Gosling/Stone movie will be better 'cuz they do have a great chemistry.",2 This was wonderful in the beginning but then got really convoluted and ultimately ruined by the final episode. Good acting throughout but I really can't recommend:(,5 "I didn't like this film very much the first time i watched it. But after finding out some hidden easter eggs and plots from internet boards, and watching it again -my brother rented the video- boy! it was a whole different movie and i liked it pretty much! some things that you might not know includes... 1. The time machine plot: That strange old man is Gyeon-woo from the future and you can see him at the subway scene that the couples meet for the first time. this made the little bit seems-too-loose third chapter more meaningful and enjoyable for me. 2. the old framed newspaper article that appears during the scene where Gyeon-woo first checks into the hotel that shows quintuplets. The inn keeper is actually one of the quintuplets and you can find the others throughout the movie-although i have only found 4 ^^; so even though you have seen this movie i think its worth watching again, and those who have not seen this yet, this has all the things - Cute, Romantic, Funny...all in one, plus the lead actress is really cute!",9 It's too lengthy film but it's much needed time for set the new things in our mindset. Indian cinema is always decorate the rich things of society but this cult classic movie showcase the lower side of society their struggle n how we all behave with them ... This is mirror ..n we get slapped from ourself ... Nagraj is great director .. proven once again.. Amitji great as always .. n new actors are just unbelievable... Thanks for the great experience ..,10 "As a lot of other people have said, there's really not much plot. There's a ton of action, but it doesn't really seem to be for anything but to show off the effects (which are amazing: lots of attention to detail and the physics are done well). I feel like this movie could've been the first 10 minutes of the next one. Watch it for the effects, not for the story.",5 "The dialogue is childish, a lot of scenes are pure cringe and the acting is sub-par at best. The pilot made me quit the whole series. It´s a shame, but I need something more adult and with more quality.",5 "Let me start by saying this is a very good movie, just not great, and I will try to explain my point of view... I went to watch this movie with some high expectations, seeking a quality as good as ""Hacksaw Ridge (2016)"". It was not reached. The cinematic experience of a ""one shot"" movie that Sam Mendes tried to give made me, at some points, bored of it. There's a lot of unnecessary moments portrayed at the movie, such as going through the trenches, because Sam Mendes did not achieved a quality script to fill the 2h lenght of the movie. Sam Mendes said in a interview that he wanted to give the experience of 2 ""real time"" hours, but the development of the story is clearly more than that. I yawned while seeing at the cinema... And I was not tired. The moments of suspense/ thriller/ action don't overcome the rest of the movie. If I made a homage like this, I would like people to tell me the truth and not sympathize with it just because... The acting was very good and I enjoyed that Sam Mendes didn't gave the main characters to Hollywood stars. George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman made a great work My honest rating for this movie is a 7.4.",7 "I know absolutely nothing about chess. I don't know why I picked this when it showed up in my recommended, but I'm definitely glad I did. The story is simple yet unpredictable as the plot line skips all the hand-holding most shows do from the beginning, giving me this confused intrigue to jump to the next episode. Because you're unaware of what kind of show this is, what it wants to be, and what vibes you should actually be getting, it almost creates a genre of it's own. Beth is a great, (at least from my standpoint) autistic-coded female who needs no apologies. While cinematic attempts to show people at their ""worst"" are up for debate, there is no doubt her character's disconnect will resonate with some viewers as she carries this story. It managed to keep me watching until the final episode.",7 "Was okay, but I was rather disappointed with this one. I usually really enjoy Guillermo del Toro films but this one did not hit the mark in my eyes. A lot of hype for not very much really. I paid for the film as the expectation was, that it was going to be really good. Wished I had waited for it to be included in my viewing package.",5 "Story-line => 3/5 ( Buildup was nice but ending was boring and predictable ); Acting => 5/5 (SRK did a good job there. ); Directing => 3/5 (First half of the movie was very interesting to watch, but ending was very sloppy); Visual Effects/Animation => 5/5 (CGI team should get a round of applause for the job they did with two SRKs. ); Screenplay => 3/5 (Got boring and repetitive); Personal Recommendation => 3/5 (If you are a fan of SRK and want to watch some good acting, go give it a watch. But while watching the movie I lost interest in the middle because of the bad continuation.);",7 "I've been rather critical of the Marvel TV shows that have come out so far, feeling that the approach followed is too much about producing a large quantity of shows to milk the MCU franchise for all it is worth, instead of focusing on high quality story telling and acting. Moon Knight is definitely an improvement on the previous shows. Oscar Isaac is excellent in his dual role, really showing off his acting talent, while Ethan Hawke excellently portrays the villain. The character development during the short season is fantastic, and it has been a while since I have rooted so hard for a Marvel character. Funny humour is sprinkled throughout the story, perfectly balancing the darker aspects of the plot and characters. My main complaint about the show is that I felt that the plot was weaker when focusing on the main superhero storyline, rather than on the characters, often feeling a bit rushed and convenient. However, in general, I would highly recommend Moon Knight and will hope that we get a season 2 soon.",8 "Remember how Ozark first episode was really good and got you hooked? That's this show. Actually first two episodes were good and then...nothing, just like Ozark. Ugh, next time I see Jason Bateman involved in a show in any way I'm avoiding it like the plague. Pointless finale and a complete waste of time after episode two. Poor lighting, cringy acting and unlikeable characters. I'm glad HBO gave it the ax. I pity the streaming service that picks up season two as its apparently been written ad the shows creators are shopping around for a new home. Just kill this atrocity already.",2 "Just wasted 2 hours of my life. Michael Bay.... typical movie of him. A lot of firecrackers, bad slow motions and bad story",1 "My respect for everyone involved in this masterpiece have shot up immensely, and I have tears in my eyes as I review this. Vidhya Balan is purely magical in this very first film of her career, and it shows why she has become so successful in this industry right now, and characters b Saif, Sanjay and everyone were so well acted and written, that it's magical. The film shows the mentality, period and motivations so well, I think this along with Devdas can be termed as two supremely beautiful films, so similar in their theme and both cult masterpieces of Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay. The music and background score is smartly composed. I loved the whole experience, and will suggest you to watch to understand and appreciate Bengali and Indian culture to the depths and with its beauty along with its flaws.",10 "It was quite good. I went into it with hope that it would be really good though, and was sort of disappointed. I think that happens a lot with shows nowadays so I can't really hate it for that reason alone. It felt like we were kind of just thrown into their existence, without really giving any establishment of what they are like, even as it went on you were confused about what their motives were and what they were even thinking or feeling. Maybe that was the point though? Because he always seemed very difficult with showing his feelings and she was the same? I did like parts, the performances were great. I do wish that it had something more that really resonated with me though, but since it was just quite good, a seven seems fair.",7 "was this a multilayered, extremely intelligent, or especially well written comedy? no way! but with its superficial, shallow, perverted humor,it made me laugh out loud almost throughout the whole thing, perhaps because it satires high school life and actually reflects society without trying too hard. its not a perfect movie, there were boring parts, and the characters could have been written better, but if u didn't find it funny u probably need to lighten up. if the writers were trying to achieve a comedy on the level of monty python, they failed pretty miserably, but i think it did great as a fun high school slapstick type comedy.",7 "Not only did they have great storytelling and scriptwriting, but they also had amazing actors as well! They definitely brought so much emotions out of every scene",10 One of the best movie of 1990s. Great acting by all the lead players.The snow shown in the movie adds chills to the dark storyline. Peter Stormare wins the show. The steely snakelike stare and cold bloodedness of the character he played in the movie propelled him into limelight. Buscemi is at his best.Funny and witty as ever. The movie is actually a dark comedy. A must watch for coen buffs. The cinematography is superb. Go for it..,10 "Avatar The Way of Water was released about 2 months ago. After waiting for 13 years we got the newest avatar but was waiting for so long worth it? Avater is a science-fiction movie, produced by 20th Century Studio. The script for this movie was written by Josh Friedman, Amanda Silver, Rick Jaff, Shane Salern and the director James Cameron. For me this movie was really good but it could me better. The cast was full of well known actors and actresses, the music suited brilliant the mood of the film, dialogues were also great. The thing that in my mind is the reason why it is not as good as it could is the lenght of it, 3 hours and 10 minutes is a bit too long if it was 2 hours and 30 minutes it would be much better. I think that is the only thing that I would change. The movie overall was good and I totally recommend watchng it, especially in 3D.",3 "Sadly not as good as I expected. It's poorly edited and written and is average overall. The dialogue at the quieter times is hard to make out, the jump scares are just the usual. It could have been so much more but it's just all over the place with nothing new. A couple of creepy parts but nothing else. A lot of people got up to go to the toilet during it, I assumed they had left but they did return although, unfortunately they didn't miss much I wouldn't recommend this at all unless it's free to see or at least cheap, it really fails on all quarters. I've scored it 5/10 as there's definitely worse out there but there's also a hell of a lot better.",5 "Another bit of The walking dead scenery, great apocalyptic scenes of the world post the outbreak and fairly good acting. However if you watched the entire TWD series then this has nothing new to show or present. Classic walking and talking scenes, discussing how the world used to be etc etc. Action is missing quite a bit while not many twists or turns to the plot. Bearings in mind that we also have Fear of the Walking Dead series as well then this becomes another post apocalyptic series which to be homest there is nothing new to tell. Finally if you are into zombie movies I still think that 28 days later is the best of its kind.",8 "It would be too easy to just say the show is awful, or the whole affair is empty. Yet it may be fair to say it emphasizes style over substance. Don't get me wrong, it tries. It tries oh so hard. As does Elizabeth Olsen, the actress playing Wanda. The underdevelopment of a character that must carry a multidimensional tone but written and performed as an off key singular note is problematic. It is hard to blame Ms. Olsen's caricature of the 50s housewife and lack of comedic likeability of a Mary Tyler Moore, Elizabeth Montgomery or a Lucille Ball but it is painfully evident. Ultimately it is too tough of a mashup to pull off for almost anyone, let alone Ms.Olsen. (Whom I have adored throughout her career.) A storyline that is ultimately about loss and it's psychological effects could of been a rich area to mine with depth beyond any film from the MCU. Yet the construct of aping old classic sitcoms through the decades falls flat. They may achieve the look of each decade with robotic precision but the tone is all wrong. It is all window dressing for big action but ultimately a shallow exercise. It all comes back to the writing. There is no real sense of heart. Tons of plot, very little heart. More vulnerability may have balanced this odd tone but who knows? The time and length of storytelling they go through to reveal a tiny morsel of connective tissue to string the series together is downright infuriating. The first three episodes are a borefest. Not until episode four does the show reveal anything worth mentioning. The show started to become tolerable when Monica Rambeau's backstory is revealed in the fourth episode. After displaying depth and a multilayered approach in this frame, they u-turn right back to the odd mashup of light sitcom, military heroism with faux melancholy in the following episodes. The show is odd and I give them credit for taking a swing, but the awful writing is so hard to overcome. The one dimensional cardboard character of Military Director Heyward and his cliché war monger heavy is laughable and seems abrupt and out of touch with this fantastical event they are witnessing. Yet there are some bright spots. Paul Bethany has the ability to overcome the writing and saves just about every scene he is in with his light wit, charm and screen presence. Teyonah Paris and Randal Park are good in their supporting roles. Yet it is KAT Dennings that truly shines in her supporting spot, she steals scenes and lights up the screen. When paired with Paul Bethany you have the makings of something special. It feels as though Marvel had a gimmick and tried to shoehorn a superhero movie inside of a half baked concept based on a clever title. Although parts of WandaVision are unique and there are inspired moments (too few) it is tough to give this bombastic convoluted effort more than a middling review. Yet those moments are far too few to save WandaVision.",4 "dull, pointless, slow, unappealing picture of 2 lonely people. a waste of 102 minutes. murray is good, but i didn't see any 'academy award' portrayal. too much time spent on 'lonely' pictures and poses and not enough dialogue. i was totally disappointed. really almost embarrassed i sat thru the dvd. it was so bad, i didn't even watch the deleted scenes, figuring if they were deleted and i had such a hard time staying awake watching what wasn't deleted, i really wouldn't want to see the scenes that weren't good enough for the pathetic show i watched... Tuffy Sams Garland Texas",1 "I'm sorry but can we stop lying to ourselves just for 10 seconds ? You can't argue with the facts, Bella Ramsey is not good at all playing Ellie and i'm not even saying that because i don't like the actress or because i think she can't act. No, i say that because she plays Ellie in a completely unbearable and vulgar manner. She speaks with the words and cadence of a middle-aged smartass American writer during a cocaine binge. What made Ellie such a great character in the game are her displays of innocence and ability to find joy in dark times, all while giving lighthearted, snarky remarks. The Ellie in the show displays ungrateful, annoyed, and irritated attitudes and it ruins the beauty of the original story. The cast of Ellie is a complete Failure. But I guess that sending a progressive message was more important than cast actors with more resemblance to the characters in the game. Pedro Pascal on the other hand is ok as Joel but we all know it could have been better... And if only the horrible cast of Ellie was the only problem of the show but it's not. I love TLOU 1 and 2 both games are absolute masterpiece but i still think this show is mediocre at best and overated. The worst part is that the show completely disrespects the game by skipping and rushing the best parts of the game, and even sometimes completely change the course of the game to implant a gay romance. Like i said producers of the show are more interested sending a progressive message than doing their best to respect the game. 9 episodes was far too little transcribe the game. The season needed at least 13 episodes. It's like game of thrones season 8 having 6 episodes when it needed at least 10 episodes. People saying The last of us is a better show than The walking dead make me laught, this show doesn't hold a candle to the first 6 seasons of The walking dead. I'm glad that the show has lost his 8.8 general rating because it was so overated. Season 2 with bella ramsey is going to be a disaster i am certain and hopefully the show will downgrade to 8.6.",6 "Movie quality series from episode 1! Great actors, cinematography and story line! Can't wait for season 2!!",10 "I just watch three episodes and I can say I like it. As you know, it contains comedy. This show is like the movie called pink panther. If you like pink panther you should watch this. If you like Detective show like sherlock you shouldn't watch this. Overall, it's a fun show to watch. It will entertain you in someway.",6 So boring and dissapointing i actually made the effort to write a bad review - second bad review on this because its so awful,1 I've been trying to watch this film and just cannot follow the story or become interested. Disorganized chaos. Disconnected timeline. Character relationships confusing. Horrible editing. Dialogue is more like one-liners strung together. 1 star for the explosions and fx.,1 Movie is 2 hours long full of stupid slo mo and 20 min worth of parkour in some scenes. Waste of money production and you get lost! I got 90% in the movie of what the plot of the movie was: to kill dictator and give brother the throne. Like wow the first 3 minutes of the street race fight could of lasted for like 2 min and we could get the messege but good god they dragged it onnnn and onnnnnnnn! Just cut to the next scene already! Seriously~ this is just Hollywood wanting to show off parkour and kabooms that legit look cgi. Save your time and watch somthing that has maybe 8 stars.,1 "ImdB should make it, so you could rate each season, and not just the overall rating or each episode. Season 1 was 9/10 Season 2 was 8/ 10 Season 3 was 6/10 I hope it doesn't continue this way, so season 4 will be 3/ 10!! I hope for the best, but fear the worst!!",8 "Not sure why this film has been such a hit? Maybe a lack of cinema releases due to Covid. It's like some sort of weird cross between a video game and the Truman Show. Never fully a laugh out loud movie, it just feels lazy and a total waste of Jodie Comer's talent. (If you've not heard of her before, check out the brilliant, dark and funny 'Killing Eve', to see what a real talented actress can do.",4 "If you haven't read the books or played the games this series is beyond comprehension. It looks good and the acting is decent, most of the time. But it is totally unclear what everybody is so excited about or trying to achieve in this fantasy world. This hardly improves by season 2. I suppose it serves as moving illustrations for the book readers. But of that I'm not sure. It most certainly is not on the level of Got. A missed opportunity?",5 I just finished season one and am in the middle of season 2. This is probably one of the best shows on Netflixs. I read some of the low reviews and it's almost like they were hired by HBO or Disney to slam Netflixs. The kids are believable and the story is fun to watch. It reminds me of Stand by me crossed with a scary movie. If you like 80's scifi then you'll love this show.,9 It's very paced but the action scenes are very well handled by mappa.,8 "Poor story, not really funny, and somehow I found it annoying... So disappointed by this overhyped movie!",3 "Normal People? Not really, the boy, a cliched working class genius, (they definitely exist, but go painfully ignored) with a gym/Hollywood body (He never seems to have time for a gym) and a highly privileged girl, wealth, oh boo hoo, what a hard life. She's an ""outsider"" yet she is stunningly beautiful. This is a Mills & Boon for hipsters, a middle class fantasy, as unrealistic as they come. The sound track is insipid and the cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart may as well have just been an image of someone taking a s@#t on Ian Curtis' memorial. It's painfully unbelievable and just pure fantasy. In its credit, the acting is very good, the leads are phenomenal, the awful characters are decidedly awful, and it's paced beautifully. If you're a fantasist that believes this manipulative story line could happen, you'll love this show, if you've spent a minute in reality, this is as absurd as the Fast & the Furious. A middle class w#t dream of an utter fantasy.",6 "While I was calm as space until I found the propaganda take effect on the plot, I couldn't really decipher why flashy humor and melodrama (read sentiments) was in abundance about a journey which requires serious concentration. Of course, the makers, the film lovers, and people who pretend to be in the crowd by advertising they are the film lovers - they all could bring up many reasons about it: ""humankind is involved, bud. what do you think humans are? we are emotional, you ignorant piece of space debris!"" Others may say: ""humor lets them relax, don't you see? Man, Nolan is God. Nolan Nolan Nolan!"" Agreed. I'm just an opinion-er. The plot starting off depending more on Hans Zimmer than the actual visuals, Interstellar talks about a near- future Earth (non-fiction #1) where crops are dying, dust storms are giving people not rashes, but serious, cancerous lung diseases, and people are forced into agriculture (Orwellian? or simply fascist?). So, the people who are actually farmers but pretend to be geniuses with lots of love for their daughters and sons and baseball, stick drapes to their shoulders and play faulty superheroes. Matthew McConaughey is one such character. He is very good, and I would have used the word ""excellent"" had it been a weepy melodrama with Meryl Streep as the actress who talks about saving the Earth by committing suicide or something, eventually both sweeping the Oscars. But, no, you have more annoying characters to come. The superheroes, commissioned by a propagandist Sir Michael Caine through NASA, go on a voyage to find a habitat for humans who are all dying by coughing only or maybe starving, too. Now I was thoroughly impressed by the space spectacle (fiction #1). Double Negative folks are really something; Inception, even. While it will remind you of Gravity, it holds it for too long and this is where melodrama kicks in. Mind you, as we go further, you will find humor in the nooks and corners of the film. You may laugh, you may weep, and all science fiction disappears in thin air, unless you think the inside of a space shuttle in a studio shown in the film gives you the wind of it. Altercations between the characters kicks in, and it seemed they didn't only annoy the audience, but each other, too. Anne Hathaway was annoying, although her character seemed real (non- fiction #2). Expendables 4 is what you will see for the next few minutes. I am starting to recoil from Nolan's notions just because of one particular scene, which takes up almost all of the second half and all we see is the constipated characters doing a interstellar space stunt with a shuttle and their roving vehicle. After the scene, there is heavy humor and the characters testify it. Irony. The time and space parameters with respect to their linearity and how age matters was wonderful to watch and it was the only new thing that fascinated me in this celluloid. The next interesting stuff were the climax sequences, which you will require at least some basic idea about physics in order to construe. It was like Upstream Colour, but with more CGI and brains. There is intergalactic fight scene between two astronauts which may not have been put up for humor effect, but I laughed. A villain (non-fiction #3) comes out of nowhere and takes up at least 20 minutes, which further upset me. The main story as a whole is, thus a mixture of fiction and non- fiction. The science about dimensions was really food for thought and mesmerizing to watch. To ponder upon the final sequences per se will bring you pleasure and you may end up clapping, even, but that is how Nolan's films have been all these years. They flip-flop from one element to another, sometimes without coercing them together. This leads to a pressurized air gap in any normal moviegoer's analysis. I think I may have helped in breaking the pressure. A film which 1. refreshes propagandist theories about government and survival and holds onto it (which people are somehow trying to forget and move on with their lives and click selfies), and 2. uses thematic elements unfathomable to normal audience cannot be considered a masterpiece, at least in celluloid. Dante's Divine Comedy is understandable, so is Rodin's The Thinker. And so was Nolan's Inception. But, Nolan's Interstellar, which is an artistic space film, but fails in many other sub-genres? You decide. BOTTOM LINE: Interstellar is a dazzling spectacle and I use the word ""spectacle"" because it mocks itself in some ways, publishing a story so naive and situational and dramatic, it is a modified version of what ended up in Kubrick's or even Ridley Scott's work-desk garbage bin 20 years ago. Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES",7 If you are fan of the american sixties thematic this is a film for you. Otherwise there are few value there. Just a pretty (strange) story.,4 "Peter (Jason Segel) composes music for a television series. Sarah (Kristen Bell) stars on that show. They have been a couple for more than five years. When she breaks up with him, he can't get past his heartbreak, though he tries almost everything. In an effort to get away from everything that reminds him or her, he goes to Hawaii for a vacation---where he finds her also vacationing. Jason Segel wrote this adult comedy. He's a very talented guy. This script is not groundbreaking, but it presents interesting characters in amusing situations. Kristen Bell is stunning in this film, making it easy to understand Peter's obsession with her. The script gives her plenty of scenes to chew on. Russell Brand plays the part of the guy you would least like to see your ex with. And Mila Kunis works at the hotel on Oahu where most of the action plays out. There are some twists in the story, keeping it interesting. Though the romantic situations in this film are typical, you never know what Segel's characters might do.",7 "Whether you are pet lover or not, this movie transforms the way you look at a pet. Must watch movie. We spend 1000's of rupees in watching action films, what we get is just entertainment which we forget the moment we watch such movies.

Don't think films only for entertainment, such films transform your thinking towards pets and their unconditional love for their parents/keepers. Today our own children won't love so much as our pets. We have to learn from pets what un-conditional love is. Watch such movies and support such films, Films are not for not just for entertainment. Such films transform humanity.",10 "The major problem with the original Venom film was that it was too long and seemed to drag on at many points. Also they tried doing a little too much and the humor was more forced and ultimately did not work. In this sequel, the film was very short and everything happens pretty quickly. It doesn't stall and has a quick build up to the finale battle. Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock is great again and here we see more of the chemistry and friendship with him and Venom. The back and forth and bickering is some of the highlights as the voice and overall mannerisms of Venom shine. Woody Harrelson is solid enough as Carnage and the back story works. Let there be Carnage is quite easily better than the original yet for some reason it has a lesser IMDB rating (5.9 to 6.6). Do not understand much of the backlash received from the fans for this film, it is entertaining, humorous and straight forward. Although somewhat of a predictable storyline where certain parts feel rehashed from other comic films. However people seemed to have taken the film a little too serious.",7 "Look everyone raved over this but it's just basically Speed but in space and and instead of a bus it's space station woooooo. Sandra Bullock again plays Annie Porter, who this time decides that space is a safer option than catching the LA metro or going on a Caribbean cruise. The terrorist this time is those pesky Russian commies as their space related communist tomfoolery causes the station to get blown up. George Clooney replaces Keanu Reeves as he was too busy doing John Wick, which I find disappointing but given how garbage Speed 2 was (apart from Willem Dafoe), I totally understand why he turned this one down. Anyway there's some convoluted plot where they try to space float across to another space station and that brings about some introspective conversations about as riveting as watching paint dry. There's a whole bunch of first person perspective space tumbling which made me massivey nauseous and George Clooney dies because of something or other I can't quite remember as I was too busy vomiting up those quesadillas I had for lunch. Anyway Sandra Bullock annoys me to no end and I'm definitely not watching Speed 4, which presumably will be set in a Botox clinic considering how 'ageless' Ms Bullock is. Let's hope they bring back Willem for that one if he's not too busy starring in some black and white movie about lighthouses Jesus wept.",3 "Glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't like The Dark Knight. I can step back and objectively say it was a ""good"" movie on some levels, the performances, over-the-top entertainment, etc. But the bottom line is I hated it. Loud, obnoxious, pointless, and soulless. Who are these awful people? Heath Ledger immersed himself into the role of the Joker, and it was impressive. He's fascinating to watch. But what is the point of his character? At least Jack Nicholson was humorous in the role, Heath's joker is just a train wreck psychopath with absolutely no redeeming value. I don't get the point. Why do we find these despicable characters entertaining, are we that desperate? I was disappointed in Christian Bale too. He is one of the best actors working today, but this time he was kind of flat. I thought he was better in Batman Begins. This entire movie is just so over-the-top: explosions (wow an explosion, that's new), the cool looking but ridiculous motor-cycle, the millionth chase scene, repulsive characters like Two-Face, and on and on. We've seen it all so movie makers have to go to extreme lengths to entertain us jaded moviegoers, and this loud, obnoxious trash is the result. We really are getting desperate. I usually agree with IMDb more or less, the ratings are usually reliable. But right now this is #5, come on could we please settle down on the hyperbole with this movie? I'm not hating it on purpose because of the hype, I liked Iron Man and that got hyped, I liked the Wrestler and that got hyped. But this nightmare of a movie needs a backlash.",5 "I'm a gargantuan fan of the Joe Schmo Show 1 & 2 (both follow this format where everyone's an actor except for the schmo), both of which are astronomically funnier than this one and I agree that sometimes less is more, but this was simply less is less. The writing/planning for this wasn't very good. Most joke ideas fell pretty flat. Some of the stuff was so stupid it was difficult to watch. The Noah character was extremely stupid so was every storyline pertaining to him (and horrendously acted, it was cringe worthy to watch). In the end it's weird that they play out and make a big deal about some of Ronalds decisions in the end whereas pretty much every decision was made for him... there wasn't that much for our mark to do. If you enjoyed this and haven't watched the Joe schmo show I highly recommend that, because part 1 & 2 of that show are sooo much better and two of may favorite shows of all time. I will give this show props in that... at least it was authentic. The only thing that would have made this worse is if it was disingenuous and 90% of these shows are fake including the person who isn't supposed to be in on it. Another decent show in this category is My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancee. There are a handful of other ones, but all the other ones that I'm familiar with are fake.",5 "The pacing is a bit off, but overall it's quite decent so far. The only thing that ruins the atmosphere is the unnecessary random inclusion of black characters. Trust me, I'm not racist, but when the books take place in the world inspired by medieval Eastern Europe, it feels just out of place to see black people not in a role of traders or mercenaries in appropriate outfits. The casting of Triss and Fringilla is also a disaster, it just doesn't feel familiar, feels completely off.",6 "The first season was a 9 for me. Great action, story, characters, production quality. IT was amazing. The second season they started censoring nudity in childish ways, using weird camera angles that don't show the full scene in a way that feels wrong, or zooming in on the faces just to censor the scene. It really grabs your attention in a neggative way and you get the feeling of: ""ok, they are censoring in this way, in what other ways is the production suffering because of this?"" It was a big disappointment. If they would have set the tone differently in the first season this wouldn´t be a problem, but now it feels like you were treated like an adult and now you are a little kid that can´t stand to see a naked body.",6 "I expected to love this. But I didn't. I'm no expert, but even I could see a lot of obvious faults. I'm not just talking about things like modern buildings (which are very evident), but the lack of atmosphere. At the start of the film, the beach is crowded, quite rightly - but after that, it's pretty empty when we see it. Where are the heaps of ruined vehicles, etc? All dead bodies are completely intact. There's no blood at all. The Germans are never called the Germans (""the enemy""). How are we supposed to believe that over 300,000 got back to England? Apart from the near empty beaches, we almost only see people NOT making it home. As for the ""little ships"", apart from the Mark Rylance one, thirty or so of them arrive all together as a neat flotilla to cheer up Kenneth Branagh. And how long does a Spitfire take to come down after it runs out of fuel?",4 "I am in the middle of season 1, trying to catch up on bunch of Marvel's series to get to Defenders. (Just finished Jessica Jones.) Well, Daredevil is a little boring. But I love Vincent D'Onofrio, ""man in mask"" looks cute in combat scenes (kidding) - and also special thanks for Russians speaking RUSSIAN!! Finally!!!!!! OMG - this is amazing!!! That fact makes me disregard things that I don't like. Why can't they hire some Russian speaking voice-over actress to give proper Russian to Natasha Black Widow, for example??? Or use some voice-over technique with actress's real voice? Sorry this is just such a pain! Pathetic... Anyways, back to the topic, I keep watching for now. My husband promise me that it will get better soon, and that I (actually a big Marvel fan) should continue.",7 "It is a very good movie, a great movie! The actors are great, the film's making is very good in general. I like the diversity of important topics discussed in the movie: growing up and changing from girl/boy to woman/man; importance of woman and man (matriarchy vs. Patriarchy); friendship; racial and sexual diversity; ageing; dying; capitalism; unhappy love (poor Ken :), etc. Probably, this complexity of topics distracts us from enjoying this great movie to the full? That is why it has a somewhat low rating? But otherwise, the movie is very entertaining; there are a lot of nice jokes, beautiful scenes, too. My daughter had the Barbie couple of decades ago. Their relations were great and perfect! :)",8 "Completely shocked this show has such a high rating. I'm a few episodes in and it is almost painful to watch at this point. None of the characters are interesting, even the Witcher. The show feels cheap, characters underdeveloped & the almost everything seems rushed / unorganized. I'm convinced most of these glowing reviews are ingenuine.",3 This show is easily the most overrated thing I've ever seen. The relationship of Loki and annoying sylvie is cringe and very weird with it taking up most of the show. The only thing that makes atleast 2 of the episodes watchable is owen Wilson and Tom hiddleston (when not with sylvie) this is honestly the worst show I've ever sat through I would not recommend.,1 "Movies and series became a silly combinatoric exercise using a sub-conjunct of ""approved and infalible plot devices"". Same for top selling music and books. This is the idiocracy universe. Everyday tagliarini with different sauces. I like the ideias and visuals in this fresh, different and naive series. But the second season music is pathetic. Sacred elders, please unleash a deafening virus to movie music creators, it will be a gift to mankind.",8 "Was excited to watch this film for the first time today. When my wife and I finished watching the film, We were both sadly disappointed. It was confusing at times. It was very slow throughout. And with a pretty good cast, it was an unfortunate misuse of the talent at hand. I wanted to like this so much more, but it fell well short of expectations.",4 "Excellent movie ... light movie ...funny movie ... in the likes of ZNMD ! Finally Kangana got her chance. They have made her not look glamorous at all, yet she was amazing. Her acting was top notch, and the story was simple but great. They should make more movies like this. It is about 2.5 hours long but holds your attention throughout. Though the shooting is mainly abroad, the movie doesn't go all out trying to show awesome locations etc. They concentrate on making the movie look more like everyday. There are no major dialog-baji or masala. And the movie has no deep emotional scenes. Like I said ... ZNMD :-) ( Forgot to mention ... Lisa Haydon was hot ! )",8 "This is the film, for me, that cements my opinion on Steven Soderbergh. I saw where he was coming from when he made Traffic, even if it wasn't that great to me and really enjoyed Ocean's Eleven not for what the story was but for the way it was told. Here, Soderbergh has made a film and a debut film it must be said that shows he not only understands film but also how to unwind a story, give us characters who are believable and how to present the action on screen through the compositions; that is that he knows how to use the camera. Sex, Lies, and Videotape is an example of how to utilise a basic domestic problem with a relationship in a film but give it a voyeuristic twist, artistic camera-work and how to manipulated time and space. There are people who study voyeurism in film like it's a religion and camcorders in a film is a sure fire way to get those sorts of people excited but that's just the beginning of Sex, Lies, & Videotape. The film uses a straightforward problem as its drive for the narrative; that problem is a married man having an affair. What follows is a reunion with a friend called Graham Dalton (Spader) that the husband will really wish he hadn't set up as Dalton brings not only voyeurism but a threat to the exposure of the affair. Ann Mullany (MacDowell), whose husband John (Gallagher) is having the affair is presented as a shy and straightforward woman perhaps living an American Dream of her own: nice house, money, food on the table, etc. but despite these humane and friendly traits, she is in a position she doesn't know about – she may not like sex that much but John does and with people other than herself. This means these two people are sort of binary opposites to one another and yet they are joined by marriage – an accident waiting to happen so already; Sex, Lies, and Videotape is creating a pressure cooker of events and characters who look set to explode once the dirty gets out. I mentioned that I thought Soderbergh's camera-work was really impressive in this film and that is a true statement. So often camera-work can go unnoticed or without acclaim but the way it's utilised in the film oozes of class. Take the scene in which some characters are arguing at a dinner table; the argument ends with a long take showing us the climax of it. One character is in the kitchen and we see this thanks to a shot in the corner of the room where the ceiling meets the wall; almost from the stairs if there were any there. This is the sort of angle you'd get from a close circuit television (CCTV) camera or a surveillance camera you get in security rooms: we are watching the argument from on high, surveying the area as if we have a link with the world in which the film is being set; we are observant through the most voyeuristic shot possible: the security camera shot since when you're watching someone through one of those, you can see them but they can't see you. Another incident occurs when John is on the phone to the girl he's having an affair with and yet the camera is set up to just include a photograph of Ann who's staring at John the whole time he's on the phone organising an illegal get-together. Not only does this tell us that John's wrong doing seemingly leaves him with a clear conscience as he talks to his mistress but also gives us enough information to have us form a very negative opinion of the character. Sex, Lies, and Videotape is also very good at combining genres since its brief pauses for scenes with the therapist and the barfly character act as pit stops away from the home and away from the lust and distrust. Not only this but they act as a good reason for humour and for Ann to tell us as well as the therapist what's she's thinking. We may ask the questions the therapist asks; we (the males, at least) may also have tried what the barfly tries and offer her some relief even though the barfly has no idea what she's been through – we do. This is why the barfly isn't put across as a complete lout: just a friendly looking and soft spoken person looking for companionship which is at a far-fetched level, exactly what Ann is. Sex, Lies, and Videotape is a fantastic film to look into and a film that will live on for its content especially its acting; Spader in particular who comes across as a nervous, perhaps too confident guy who has his own personal ways of turning himself on involving woman and cameras but the film is great for its subject matter, the way it handles its subject matter and the way it presents its subject matter.",8 "My Take: Better, faster, wilder and deeper than the original. In summer movies' case, the only attempt to make a sequel better than the original is that it should be bigger and louder. The original SPIDER-MAN was everything a fan boy could want from a comic book adaptation (You tell me! I'm not exactly one of them), and the only way the sequel could be better than its predecessor is that the sequel should have bigger special effects, louder surround sound and leave everything else in between (New story? Who cares!). Same is not the case for SPIDER-MAN 2, for not only does it live up to the expectations had for it, it also outdoes and occasionally out-leaps its predecessor. Bigger special effects and louder sound abound, SPIDER-MAN 2 also holds the same sharp focus on characters and a new and different story that isn't just a blueprint for tons of new special effects director Sam Raimi has in store. The character of Peter Parker (still wonderfully played by Tobey Maguire) is more developed, showing how he balances his careers as both the web-slinging superhero and young college student Parker, who also is in desperate need for a job. Kristen Dunst returns as MJ Watson who now blends in deeper in the role. the action-packed moments come in fast, when the film reveals its new and even better villain, the semi-evil Dr. Octopus (Alfred Molina), originally Dr. Octavius, attached with self-operating mechanical arms on his body. Like the very best of summer entertainments, the special effects moments are thrilling and exciting (if you don't find the scene where Spidey tries to stop a runaway train exciting, you're probably low on sugar). But one thing about SPIDER-MAN 2 is the fact that when the moments of character development and human elements come, it doesn't disappoint. The characters are interesting and fine to sit trough, and unlike most characters in summer movies, they don't look like special effects themselves. I'm not really a fan of Sam Raimi's works, but he'll definitely get his audience when making these would-be series, and SPIDER-MAN 2 should serve as a guide on how to make the future sequels. Rating: **** out of 5.",8 "I loved most of Nolan's films. Memento, The Dark Knight are among the best movies I've watched. Sadly I can't say the same about Insterstellar. I can't understand what happened with Nolan on this movie. The plot is a complete mess, filled with arbitrary nonsense they dare call science. It spends time explaining what a wormhole is and then it throws in some metaphysical bs about the fifth dimension which does not make any sense. This is not a sci-fi film it is a fantasy movie. The visuals are the only redeeming quality this movie has. But however great they are, they cannot save this mess of a movie. Weak, forced acting with dull dialogue makes this one of the weakest movies I've seen this year.",2 "Watched this movie two years ago, in pain, in agony, and the only thing I can remember about it is one actor and I have an idea of what's it about only because I will never forget how much I laughed when i saw South Park episode Insheeption shortly afterwards. Oh man, you don't need to look for better critic of the movie. The only reason I gave 2/10 score for this piece of garbage, is that it is actually funny. It is like a tacco within a tacco. On the other hand, I can't help but notice that many ( wanna be ) enigma, psycho-thriller moves are getting high rates even tho they lack intro, plot and outro. Does this tells of an overall intelligence of viewers of particular motion picture?",2 "Took a very long to get absolutely nowhere. This Gil. Could have achieved the same result in 90 minutes and not almost given me a bladder infection. Visually beautiful and the flora and fauna design again are amazing but it doesn't distract from the fact that this film suffers under the weight of its own bloat. The first avatar was a good remake of ""Dances with Wolves"" and as such had a good storyline to follow. The problem with this new film is it has no direction or character development to drive it and does little to hide the gaping plot holes that are littered through this film. I won't pay money to see another Avatar film.",3 "I heard that there will be a remake of My Sassy Girl, so as my subject say, GO WATCH IT NOW! This movie is so beautiful! The actors are brilliantly acted very well. The story is just plain, simple, it is my all time favorite movie! My sassy Girl is almost a perfect film, so I have no question why everyone who watched it, they liked it. My sassy girl is a classic, no not even it's co-Asian countries will remake or retain the power of this movie. This film is what you called ""Exclusively for Koreans"" so Hollywood, live this movie alone OK! But still, WATCH IT NOW! BEFORE Hollywood POISON THIS FILM! 10/10",10 "Talk about running an idea into the ground! This film takes one somewhat trite sci-fi idea spawned during the pulp era -- a helmet-like machine that can be fitted over the head to erase selected memories -- and lets us watch it work on two quirky, unhappy lovers... and that's about it. Way too much of the movie involves the flashily filmed fragmentary memories, dreams, half-memories, fantasies, etc. etc. experienced by the Jim Carrey character as he undergoes this improbable procedure (which proves the excuse for a number of special effects). Watching such fragments, on and on, is about as tedious as listening to someone recount his dream. I've seen three films so far written by Charles Kaufman, and the only one I've enjoyed was ""Adaptation."" This one -- like ""Being John Malkovich"" -- began to bore and annoy me before it was halfway through.",4 "Bunch of plot holes, unsatisfying action sequences, so many and unnecessary character introductions, jokes in the battlefield that makes you can't realise the seriousness of the situation... I couldn't follow after a while. That airport scene? I was doing that when I was a child with my action figures... Oh god... Only last 30 minutes and Robert Downey Jr's perfect acting saved the day for this overrated action figure fight...",7 "Great cast, great story, great visuals, but ending the season after 8 episodes really feels like it's being milked for another season. A ridiculous finale that answers nothing",4 "The writing on this show isn't terrible but the insistence on including every single SJW topic under the sun does get kind of old rather quickly, but at least there aren't any brazen lies about the topics in this show so I guess that somewhat makes up for its overabundance. In all its a decent show, better then average writing and acting so I guess you have to count your blessings.",7 "Nagraj Manjule sir has created a history! This movie portrays what bollywood has failed to cover in century. Awesome direction, bare set and original actors are the characteristic of this movie. All in all, this movie is a slap on the face for the India beyond the wall.",10 "Visually very very good. Voice acting, very very bad. None of the fun and charm of the original. John Oliver up 1 point. Beyoncé down 1 point.",2 "I like marvel since I was a little boy, so It's important to me (and I think to every Marvel's Fan) that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have to be more an action series than a drama or comedy Series. If you want a drama series with super humans (or mutants) looks what happen to Heroes(2006). So, I hope they put a little more action and at least some characters from the movies would be incredible (the digital image of Hulk or Iron Man) or just putting some character from the TV Series in the upcoming movies (Captain America 2, Avengers 2 or Ant-Man). I guess they have time to get the series that every fan of Marvel expect to watch.",9 Didn't like the first few episodes but persevered. By the last episode I still didn't like it. I didn't care about any of the characters and some things were just too cheesy/not natural. Had high hopes for this as I like a lot of the Marvel stuff but this was just Meh!,5 "The last two episodes took a turn for the worst. Why does race have to be brought in everything. I just want to enjoy one thing where it doesn't matter what skin you have or what your belief is just everyone happy, but no of course this show has to be woke just like everything else.",6 About the movie .. it is behind average superhero movie type. but Gal Gadot is a lovely Actress,5 "I do not know, whether its a copy of a French movie as it is said by other people. Some people say its bad just because its a copy, but i go against those statements,because copying is not the point, the point is the good movie of French could be understood only by people who knew French but because Sagar Ballary made the movie in Hindi, a language know by many people in India, the movie could be viewed in India, and give the excitement of of the French movie in India. OK we could tell the movie was bad if the acting was bad, but actually the acting was too good. Seeing the above statement i feel the movie is a 1 time must watch since its an excellent movie and i think it was a worth watching movie since it was a simple good comedy, I do not care whether it was a French copy, I am happy that Sagar Ballary brought the movie to India.",10 "As is the case with all David O. Russell films, Amsterdam boasts fiercely committed performances, quirky direction, and a screenplay bursting with rapid-fire exposition and charming witty dialogue. Plus the production, makeup, and costume design are all of the finest quality that the film industry is capable of producing. Hats off to all who were involved here. I just really wish that this story had the same level of focus and heart that some of Russell's other films have had. Because as it is, Amsterdam is a wildly unfocused film in terms of both narrative and theme. For humorous starters, only about 10 minutes of the film actually takes place in Amsterdam. And what takes place in Amsterdam really has zero bearing on the rest of the plot. But that inconsequential little detail is only the tip of the iceberg; the story relays heavily on sequences of characters having exposition-dump meetings that are devoid of heart and humanity. The final scene in which the ""big bad evil guys' plan"" is revealed is laughably stupid and contrived, ripped right out of a Scooby-Doo ending. Occasionally the film tries to force in conversations about love and the preservation of it, but every time it comes up it's absurdly hammy and has no relation to the rest of the story. I'm kind of amazed at how stacked the cast of this movie is. So many A-list stars became involved to play characters who could be removed entirely without the story or themes changing at all. Holy cow, what a mess this movie was. I felt nothing at its end because it never focuses on anything long enough-or effectively enough-to earn any sort of emotional or intellectual investment.",4 "Hannibal is a story of mutual love and obsession, about soulmates, about unique type of connection that few people share. Will is always hiding ,deflecting and denying the emotions instead of carefully acknowledging them and expressing them. While in case of Hannibal He is expressive and gives hint of his love towards will throughout the show displaying several romantic elements. In the end They both fall into the ocean under the Love Crime song, another romantic element. Where Water symbolizes reborn. The whole episode are filmed in very scenic and beautiful places, all the dishes and their recipe, the drinks, the decors are all explicit. I was so swayed by the show while watching that, even in my dreams, I was dreaming their characters and scenarios, It puts an unexpected amount of impression on my brain and mind. This is a worth watch if you are a psychodrama fan. No match for this show. It should have season 4 .",10 Season 1 showed promise but Season 2 was just a mess. Too many sub plots in Season 2 that the story looks like merry go round. Such a pity that a talent like Jon Bernthal was wasted with such bad storyline. Bad acting made it worse lead by Agent Madani and the psychiatrist who both Russo bedded.,3 "9 stars for Ortega. 10 stars for her delightful greyscale wardrobe. 5 stars for plot. ~7 stars overall. Ortega (Wednesday), Myers (Enid), and ""Thing"" are mostly delightful in their roles. The rest of the cast are adequate to forgettable. It was good to see Ricci in a supporting role, even though her appearances were few. This Uncle Fester was a bit off, but at least he showed up. This teen version of Wednesday is fun & more nuanced than Ricci's, but the overall tone of the show unfortunately doesn't go as ""dark"" as it could have. There were 2 moments when I nearly laughed, and only a few smiles along the way. You'd hardly know Wednesday is at a boarding SCHOOL, as she's in class about 60 seconds total. The vamps do nothing, and the rest of the kids barely show their creature-natures.",7 "Movie: Raid (UA): Action/Crime/Thriller - Hindi The screenplay of RAID is full of surprises from the very beginning. The film starts off quite well and thanks to the powerful editing apart from the engaging screenplay, one hour passes and you're unable to realize it actually has, especially when the interval card hits you. The entire pre-interval sequence is excellently written, masterfully crafted and good enough to raise the expectations towards the second half. RAID works for many reasons. One, the intriguing screenplay. The efforts of Raj Kumar Gupta and Ritesh Shah (director and writer respectively) can be seen in every frame and the research they've done seems to come out well in the movie. Second, the powerful and intense confrontation between Amay and Tauji (played by the very skilled Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla respectively). The dialogues which come out like powerful chess moves, ooze a sense of intelligence the characters have. Third, the technical aspects. The cinematography is quite effective and it's a film one should better watch on the best and biggest possible screen. Fourth, the humour. It's very natural and actually hilarious. Fifth, the action. Apart from being a crime thriller, it's also a different action film. The action has been very neatly done and given the fact that there's rarely any bloodshed, you should not mind taking kids as well. Performance wise too, RAID comes out as a winner all the way. Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla are simply the strength of this film, while Ileana too comes out with a decent act. The supporting actors too, especially ""Lallan"" and ""Amma"" impress big time. The latter's comic timing works as a major plus for the film as well. As for the music, Black Jama Hai is not just the best one out of all, but also the most well-timed song as compared to the others, which too are good but not well-timed of course. The visuals are a treat to watch and the sound effects too are impressive. Background score also is quite effective. To make it easier, RAID is an excellent action-crime thriller which deserves to be seen not just for the above-mentioned reasons but also for the tribute and honour it gives to the unsung heroes who don't always come in uniform.",10 "No Sandler you are not Pacino. No Safdi whoever you are you are not Scorsese or whoever you want to be. Good films create characters you care about not shrill monotonous hysterical soulless characters like this one. I tried really hard to keep watching this and boy it was hard work. The fact that so much acclaim has been poured on it is mystifying.Ridiculous. Its tasteless vile,loud and most of all deeply boring for which there are no excuses. Meretricious and sad.",3 Honestly it was kind of rough to get through. There's a lot of that sort of generic High fantasy dialogue that occurs in so many movies and TV shows. I guess maybe if I had read the books and maybe I'd be more into it but it just seemed very generic to me,4 They should had stopped at first season instead they have dragged this to garbage status.,4 "The premise that the film is based on as a starting point doesn't work. In my opinion, this ruins the entire film. The film itself is not that good. Hopelessly overloaded and too jumbled, illogical. The sidekick, who still played a good role in the first part, has been neutered. Not quite as bad as Hulk and Thor in infinity was and endgame, admittedly. But his part was drastically devalued. That's a shame, because he's a sympathetic character. Without the hopelessly ""unrealistic"" premise, the film would be a 6/10 for me. But as I like to say, a film must at least stay true to itself and follow its own rules within its unrealistic universe, and this film does not. Therefore, the thing is a 3/10 at most.",3 "Acting, Direction is very good. And salute to our soldiers",10 "The only way I can put it, is that I have been forced to watch this many, many times in the last few years - mainly because it's one of my mum's favourites, by no means does that mean it is anywhere close to being one of mine. I hate it more each time I have to sit through it. I understand why some people love it; it's a look into the past, it can be quite nostalgic to certain people, the romance is kind of cute (in a weird way), it's cheesy and some people find that to be a good thing. However, personally I though it was apsolutle rubbish and I feel as if I might claw out my eyes if I have to see it one more time - my plan is to boycott it until I die. Wish me luck 🤞",3 "This movie is suspenseful. Impending doom looms from scene to scene. The realistic setting is enthralling, as is the pacing. My only complaint is the storytelling. It relies too heavily on beats and themes we've already seen in War movies.",7 "This is an excellent rethinking of a superhero Cinematic Universe. I love the characters, the writing, acting, and the visuals. It is hard to stop and go to bed, it really keeps you glued. My problem is a lack of an actual story arc. After completing the first season, and going two episodes into season 2, I'm still awaiting the completion of any narrative Arc. I find this is a problem with many of these Netflix, or Amazon series: a sort of a soap opera curse. With the Liberty to run the storyline through multiple episodes, there is no pressure to tie it up and put a bow on it. Compare that to your usual Hollywood movie, which gives you the whole story, and a sense of closure in 2 hours. I miss stories like that.",8 "I looked forward to seeing Fargo as I heard many great things about it. As I usually am, though, I was disappointed. I just never really understood what was so special about this movie. The acting was good and very believable. The setting was believable as was the portrayal of the local people, but let's be honest, do acting and setting really make a movie great? The problem lies in the script, which just isn't very good. I found nothing at all unique about ""Fargo."" It's just extremely mediocre. I give it a five out of ten.",5 "TVJ Aspirants is a good watch. Even being a mini series, it did a great job in character building. The storyline and scriptwriting has been up to the mark. All these things makes this one, a worth watching. However, the ending of the series, was a little pale, compared to the build up, could have been a lot better, after going with a great start. So overall the IMBD rating should be 8 plus.",8 "The first part of the movie is a sitcom, talking and dad's jokes. It almost(!) catches up with ""Friends"". If only movie was released in 1999... The second part is even worse, It reassembles ""Back to the future"" but it definitely does not catch up even to 1989. And there is this third part. Explosion of... left-wing ideology. You will instantly get a T-CD4 lymphocytes drop and vomit with rainbows. It ends with: SPOILER ALERT Capitan America being now black. The CGI is great, I enjoyed it very much. But the best part of the movie was a trailer before. There is still hope in this modern world. ""Bad Boys"" are still black and still as brilliant as in 2009. I'm looking forward to watching them again.",2 "I saw this movie 2 days early for the Fandom event and was extremely disappointed. The entire movie is a history/explanation of Harry Potter characters instead of focusing on Newt and his beasts. The movie is called crimes of grindelwald but they don't even tell you what his crimes were. The entire movie is confusing, full of background explanations, and leaves you feeling unsatisfied. Worst movie in the Harry Potter Universe by far and will go down as a failure.",1 "Every single production that is or goes 'woke' is generic, derivative, uninspired, preachy, and dumb. Every actor that goes 'woke' is dull, uncharismatic, and wooden (and usually not very good-looking either). The series was enjoyable up to a point, but with each episode I felt like I was watching a direct-to-video TV series (back when Blockbuster existed). Which actually kind of is, when I think about it. Episode 3 was the best, but it goes only downhill from there. The 'Falconsuit' did look amazing though. While watching, I got really tired of the diversity hires everywhere. That goes for the writers as well as the cast. If America idolizes the 'blonde haired blue eyed' folks as this show tells me, maybe there is a reason for it. Stop being generally subpar maybe, and produce something exceptional? Nobody says 'women and men'. It's 'men and women'. The f--k? Every potential love interest and side character of Bucky is a diversity hire. Cringe. Apropos to this, the dialogue ranges from decent, to cringe woke garbage. The subplot-which-sadly-isn't-a-subplot's main antagonist is another diversity hire. Not even in shape. Using a particular serum, which by the way isn't fully explained as to how exactly the antagonist gets ahold of it, is the only way they could make the fights somewhat believable. Antagonist's sidekicks are diversity hires too. Who needs the Avengers? Two Wakandan diversity hires with spears are all you need. They try to reverse-psychology-normalize the globalist NWO bullsh-t by having the antagonist spout that nonsense while trying to make the antagonist a sympathetic villain. It doesn't work. Don't really understand how the quality can drop so much compared to Infinity War. The format isn't THAT different compared to the big screen. The only, and I repeat the ONLY reason I even gave this a 6 is the goodwill I have remaining from Winter Soldier (which is excellent), and Infinity War (which is also really good). If this were a standalone production not tied to the MCU, I would rate this a 3 or less. Keep politics OUT of film or at the very least keep it subtle. I haven't seen WandaVision yet, but right now I'm thinking Marvel should stick with movies.",6 "Why do these super hero movies get cornier and worse? The director , the script ?? I'm so glad I didn't pay for it- caught it on Disney. Total rubbish in my opinion.",4 "This movie was original and features great acting. It goes on a little longer that if have liked, but I was never bored. I wasn't a fan of the graphic nudity or the sexual violence, but it got it's point across. The conclusion is surprising and gives you a sense of closure.",6 "I was eager to see Barbie once it became available on Max. I streamed it the first night it was available. There go two hours I'll never get back. I don't understand the hype, Barbie is dreadful. Barbie in perfect pink Barbieland surrounded by other Barbies with all males named Ken (except for Allen, an unfunny addition) experiences a glitch in her perfect world so heads to ""reality"" to find the problem. Ken tags along to LA where they discover the real world is run by men and they've made a mess of it. Barblie learns to cry, Ken leans into his manhood, and when both return to Barbieland the Ken dolls have taken over and made a mess of that world. Barbies to the rescue, the starring Barbie meets her creator, and heads back to reality where she gives the last and ONLY funny line in the movie. Terrible. Save yourselves and take a hard pass on Barbie.",1 "Apart from good soundtrack this movie is a waste of time, as simple as that. There's nothing meaningful, no good ideas, nothing. This movie is a tangle of crap.Don't watch it.",2 "OK, OK, the trailer sold this movie, but to have this monistic babble at #18 spot of ALL the cinema?!! I give you that Matrix is better than Arma-hehe-don or Starship Bloopers of last year but to seriously consider this live action comics, where special effects barely leave time to dreadful rendering of cartoon guide to philosophy a bona fide movie is too much.",5 "There's a reason because I don't watch movies about superheroes. I thought this one could be different, because everybody said that it was different. But frankly, it's just the same old crap concerning plot, characters, depth, and the overall feeling. I can only imagine how bad are all the movies I didn't watch. Mangold can be a good director, but I guess that when you're given a script about metal claws, there's only so much you can do about that.",3 "I finally got around to watching this movie and wow - what a let down. While there were things that were nice about it, there was so much more that wasn't. First off, I wasn't convinced by the love story. Sebastian and Mia meet, go on a few dates, and then suddenly are together. There isn't much of the 'falling in love,' and in fact, they never even say they love each other until the scene where they're breaking up. I think for me to be emotionally invested in them as a couple, I needed to hear or see more things that showed why or how much they really cared about one another. Second, I am so sick and tired of professional singers and dancers not being cast in movie musicals. There are TONS of people who even perform on Broadway that have the ability to sing, dance, act, etc and they are rarely hired over mainstream actors and actresses. It's very frustrating listening to people who aren't really singers, try to sing these songs that are beyond their vocal capabilities. Emma Stone wasn't horrible, but she wasn't great either. No one in this movie, other than John Legend, could sing better than average. Third, aside from not hiring true dancers, I didn't think the dancing in this movie was all that great. In my opinion, the choreography just didn't have the same wow factor that a lot of the old Hollywood movies had. Last, I didn't care for the songs. There were two that were likable but nothing that I wanted to immediately listen to over again. Maybe this could have been fixed by having better singers who could have made the songs into something special - who knows? But otherwise, they were all passable. Overall, I'm honestly really surprised by how highly this is liked.",3 "Emmm.....meh? Cheesy, full of action, a bit funny near the end. You won't miss much by not watching it",1 It's an average movie. Advisable not to watch with family.,6 "I've always heard good things about Fargo, and once it made the AFI's top 100 list of funny movies, I decided to rent it. I very rarely rent R-rated films, but this seemed to be worth it. In short, my brother and I did not laugh once, nor did we enjoy the film. First of all, the film is violent and grotesque. I've seen many violent films before, but this went beyond anything I've seen. There are several murders committed. All of them are extremely disturbing in their depiction of blood and guts as well as the complete inhumanity of each killing. Second of all, the film has numerous moments of gratuitous sex which serve the plot no purpose, other than perhaps additional character degradation. In my opinion, this film is the second worst thing to happen to mainstream entertainment in the 90s. The worst thing is that people out there laughed at it. What a blasted hame!",1 "Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all, the needle returns to the start of the song and we all sing along like before ...",1 "Every song sounds the same, voices are strained. It just sounds a screechy gaudy mess at times. Story is simple and obvious. Doesnt work for me and I like musicals.",3 Iam not watching marvel at all but this time i wanted to see smth in cinema. It was such an time wasteful and boring experience. Nothing was making sense and the acting was kinda bad. 10/10 for visuals tho they were awsome.,2 "After almost 20 mind-numbingly incomprehensible minutes that seemed so much longer, it comes as a shock to realize that what one is suddenly seeing floating across the screen is (after 20 minutes, remember) the ""opening"" credits of the movie. This can mean only one thing - and it isn't good news: sweet Jesus, there's still an entire movie to come. I confess that I'm not entirely enamoured of Jim Carrey. I've seen him as a weak part of a good movie (Bruce Almighty) and as the strong part of a weak movie (The Grinch Who Stole Christmas). Either way, he doesn't turn my crank. I don't think I'd ever watch a movie just because the star was Jim Carrey. To be honest, in ""Eternal Sunshine ..."" I'm not sure if he's strong or weak, but it really doesn't matter because the story is absurd, disjointed and not really all that interesting. It had potential. The whole ""erasing negative memories"" had a vaguely Orwellian tone to it that intrigued me (which is why I rented it) but in the end it failed badly. When I find myself hoping (even yearning) for a movie to come to an end, I know it's been a disaster. The most intriguing thing about this movie is the following statement right off the DVD jacket it came in: [""Eternal Sunshine ... is] a memorable film that the Wall Street Journal calls 'a romantic comedy unlike any other."" I can't argue with that - it is ""memorable"" (no matter how hard I'll try to, I don't think I'll ever be able to forget it) and it is ""a romantic comedy unlike any other."" Give thanks for small mercies - this truly is one of a kind, and, in truth, there must never be another like it. 1/10",1 I am marvel fan and i waited too long for this but its for kids and childy,1 "The first 30 minutes were almost all talk, so boring. They finally got to some action and humor but with too many characters to keep track of and an over the top storyline in ridiculousness, it was still just not that engaging, not to mention way too damn long. The first Avengers movie rocked. Every one since has been a disappointment unfortunately. Marvel and Disney need to recognize less is more still applies as a storytelling principle of great value.",3 "Uh, wow. This is really cool! By the second episode they have established really interesting things,no spoilers, and the third episode is the best yet. The reason it's not 10/10 is because it is a little slow at first.",9 Do not watch it. I didn't represent Dhaka as it is.,1 I have rated it as 5 only because of the cgi effects. I loved the original so much but this one has disappointed me badly.,3 This film is quite boring :(-maybe watch it? I didn't enjoy it. Ended up skipping a bit. Sweet storyline. Little bit very dull.,1 "The first John Wick was a bit of a revolutionary when it came to action films. It brought interesting and dynamic action and did for guns what samurai movies did for swords. The 'gun play' in that movie was never boring. Now let's talk about John Wick: Chapter 2 I'll start with the good parts of this movie. A lot of the technical parts of this movie were fantastic. The lighting in each scene brought a stylized look and feel to the movie. The sound design is great, making each punch and gun shot ever the more powerful. The choreography is A+, which is expected from a John Wick film. You can really tell they put a lot of time and effort into making sure every action scene has great choreography. The acting from Keanu Reeves was pretty good, he has what I call the 'Schwarzenegger effect'. He was able to take cheesy lines, and there were a lot, and deliver them in a not so cheesy way. He was very devoted to making sure every stunt looked good, doing all of his own stunts. Onto the bad parts. I'm not quite sure what happened, the first John Wick had a decent story, giving our main character a good motivation throughout and leaving a good payoff for the audience. John Wick: Chapter 2 has none of this. While I can't give away too much without getting into spoiler territory, I'll say this. John Wick's motivation in this film is very bad. In the first film he had the motivation of, ""You killed my dog my late wife gave to me and stole my car"". In this film it's less believable and way too convoluted. John Wick is the only memorable character in this entire film because the film is about him. The villain is the typical villain you'd expect in any action film with his/her typical henchmen. Even the villain's motivation is a bit dodgy. I'm not quite sure why Laurence Fishburne is in this movie, he has two scenes and talks like Negan from The Walking Dead the entire time. He provides no real story other than some background information. The end of this film started an interesting idea within the universe but cut it short for the third movie. The music in this movie is pretty awful. It's your typical dubstep in each and every action scene, which gets annoying over a long period of time. Sadly, even the action got boring after about an hour. Every single action scene is, ""let me use my fists then go behind a corner, grab a gun, shoot for a bit, reload, shoot for a bit, go behind another corner, grab a bigger gun, shoot for a bit, reload, shoot for a bit, go behind yet another corner and grab a bigger gun, shoot for a bit, reload, and shoot for some more"". I just described an entire action scene from this film. The payoff for this film was so quick and had no impact on the audience. Heck, the scene that had the most impact on the audience was John Wick, two baddies, and a pencil. Overall, John Wick: Chapter 2 has some great technical things going for it that they improved since the first film. The acting was pretty solid from Reeves but with his character being the only memorable one. The story quality has significantly decreased since the first film with characters motivations being convoluted and, at times, a bit silly. If you're with a couple of friends and you feel like turning off your brain for a while, you'll have fun with John Wick: Chapter 2.",4 "MAIN This Is NOT Comedy. More like Tragedy Greetings, Children of the Sun: Does anyone here remember back, it's been a long ago now, when, if a production was labelled as a ""comedy"" that you, the audience members, would take the reviewers at their word and have a sit down and a view? Unfortunately this phenomenon no longer exists. Such a shame. Now concerning ""Community"": the writing is not half bad. Which means uninspired. And, of course, direction and action will soon follow. So: using my mathematical skills I ( my wife is out of the house presently; else I would say ""we"") can calculate that this ""comedy"" starts at a whopping 5-stars.",5 "This probably started out as a good idea. There's something fascinating about a cantankerous. outspoken kind of woman obsessing over an awful unsolved crime, and fighting the police on doing their job. Unfortunately, it ends up mixing the more occasional thoughtful, interesting moments with a ridiculously clichéd portrayal of small- town police as redneck buffoons, absurd Saturday-morning-cartoon style logic, Tarantino-imitating dialogue (cutesy circular monologues where the speaker enjoys correcting themselves, overly witty for the character in question because what you're really hearing is a self-obsessed eager-to-impress screenwriter, a woman talking to herself via her slippers where every single line repetitively blurts 'm****rf****rs'), irritating un-pc humour (yeah we get it, rednecks endlessly throwing out 'n***er' and 'f***ot', child abuse, dwarfs, kicking girls in the crotch etc is so fearless and edgy!) and huge tonal shifts that ruin the moment before or after. An underlying message of the film (something about kindness being more curing than anger) gets compromised in a final scene which seems forced and against all character logic. A moment half- way through sends the core of the film in a different direction, where it could easily be retitled ""Three Letters from Ebbing, Missouri"". I haven't felt so frustrated before by the idea of less being better. If certain absolutely-unnecessary scenes, moments, lines, quips and slurs were edited out, it would be a much more efficient and powerful film. Its also awkward to see as a shared experience - audiences simply don't know how to react or respond to certain tonally uneven moments, so can't help but nervously laugh at anything they think is suggestive of humour (e.g. an innocent school girl getting needlessly kicked in the crotch by an adult woman). The protagonist is often entirely rude and ignorant in her attack monologues, but rather than sympathise with her mis-directed anger, audiences are more inclined towards 'go girl!' style moronic agreement. It just feels jarring. It Would be much better absorbed on the small screen.",5 "The first season is a 9/10. The second season is a 8/10. But, season 3, it is a 4/10. If not for the great acting by the main 3 and then some supporting casts, it truly would be so dull and silly. It feels like it is trying to go back to the source material (so good) yet leaves out what makes The Witcher so wonderful (the fighting, small plots playing into the big plot, focus, and small victories). They do toooo much in season 3, and it still adds nothing to the show. In fact, it makes it worse. They should've listened to those who love the books and games (and the general audience). I'm sad it is now over (at least for me, for i wont be watching any other seasons).",4 "I was excited about this one because knives out is a great movie but this one is not up to the point. It's a disappointment. If I compare it with knives out -- 1. Story is not making any sense (pineapple juice seriously, and bullet ohh it was like 90's Indian movies) weak story at all. 2. Miles wasn't surprised when she appeared and again trying to kill her (it was totally rubbish) 3. Denial wasn't that much impressive. 4. Average and forced acting from the characters. 5. Intensity was gone many times. 6. What I like is the music only. Wasted opportunity, you can watch it once but after the movie when u ll think about knives out, you will imagine that that grip, characters and suspense is missing.",5 "The Witcher brings 8 hours of it's beautiful universe to your home... but with bad CGI, weird costumes and a few holes in it's story. It is bad at certain moments but still cringy in other scenes, Specially scenes feels forced like they have to show some naked ladies just to say we are not a cartoon. The lead actor really put commitment to this role which is amazing specially the work he put in his body and relationship with his horse, but still the budget is way too low for him. Yennifer actress not having the looks i expected. They should've pick another actress for yennifer's role. At the end of the day. It is what it is. I recommend it to you.",5 "I never watched this show as it was broadcast, but I bought the Seasons 1-5 Box set recently and started watching it. Now this is the way to watch a series! No interruptions. No waiting. Just one episode after another. I just finished Season 4 last night and I've been recording the Season 6 episodes so that they will be ready when I am. I will soon be caught up and I suppose at that point I won't be able to resist watching each episode as it's broadcast. I think it's a great show, but there are times when I want to throw something at one of the characters for being so stupid. I guess they have to do certain things to keep the plot going, but it really bothers me to see supposedly intelligent characters acting so stupidly. Another thing that bothers me is how quickly they will resort to torture, even when it's one of their own people. And then when they find out it was a mistake, the person just goes back to work as if nothing had happened.",8 "What a triumph for everyone who has been complaining that 'no one has done a comic book movie right'! Spiderman 2 does it right - the action is better and better paced, the human elements are more complex and gripping, and the plot addresses Big Ideas without getting distracted from being a movie. The effects are great, the writing is solid, and the acting is also great. Molina is in fine form as Dock Ock, MacGuire has Peter/Spidey down pat, and the rest of the cast is as good as one could hope. I just hope that Spidey is as successful and long-lived as the James Bond franchise",10 "I really hoped it was based on the old story, but sadly no. Why is it that they always need a bad guy all the time. It is so mutch focus on the psychopath that i lost intrest pretty fast. To bad couse this series could have so mutch potential.",3 Absolutely loved venom I have no idea what the critics were talking about this movie had action and comedy in it I loved Hardy's interaction with venom throughout the film great job Tom Hardy perfect role for you,5 Medicre Story line. Was expecting way better from Chris Hemsworth,2 "Initially it will be able to grab your attention. 0 to 50 minutes, you will like the way it flows. But, later on, you may have to forward it due to it's slow pace, if you are not a tolerable person on delay. Plot is very shallow and straightforward. You won't find any twist. Otherwise, acting and cinematography can have claps.",7 This film using the name of a country 'Bangladesh' but not a single thing was similar to Bangladesh. Even Bengali accent is used here in a very weird way. I know it's just a film but negative representation of a country whether it's a film or book it is not just right.,1 "Granted I'm only two episodes in, but found it important to dispel all the unnecessary hate. Ignore the original series. I know, how dare I, complete blasphemy, etc. etc. But really. The only way to truly enjoy it is simply sit down and watch it. For what it is, it's a well executed, visually stunning show that puts a new spin on the original Lost In Space. People are entitled to their own opinion just like the one I'm giving, but people also spend too much time hating when all they need to do is simply sit back and enjoy. IT'S A TV SERIES. SORRY THAT THINGS SEEM FAKE AND NOT EVERYONE DIES. Also, what in the holy hell is everyone talking about it being 'PC'? I'm not even sure people understand the meaning of PC. It's a show. Watch it or don't. Move on if you don't enjoy it. We're surrounded by negativity, and to be honest, I can't stand it. It's a decent show which I'm happily enjoying.",7 "Let's be honest, if you're a Marvel fan you'll probably like this show regardless. For anyone else, the only entertaining thing about Moon Shight is laughing at how predictable and basic it is. Avoid.",1 "Steve Rogers aka Captain America (Chris Evans) is now in the present day (he was in a suspended animation from 1945) has been told that Shield has been compromised and to trust no one. Hydra is the organization that wants to take over the whole world giving all freedom, but induced by fear - so no freedoms for us, you see. Natasha (Scarlett Johansson) and Sam Wilson/The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) are the only ones he can count on. Can they destroy Hydra? Inquiring Minds want to know. I took this out for the CGI and found that this has a pretty good story, great cinematography, very good acting, great fighting/action stunts whether CGI or real and a pacing that kept me engaged all the way through. Yes, a lot of CGI and other stunts but there was time to get to know the story, and characters. Kudos. In the beginning, Steve Rogers jumps out of a plane. Someone asks, ""Did he have a parachute on?"" No was the answer. How good is that? Thought so. The stunts whether CGI or real were fantastic and didn't run too long like most CGI in other movies. Loud sounds accompanied many stunts and were spot on. Of course, I jumped involuntarily, of course, at the appropriate times. Didn't plan on it - just happened. You may jump at times, too. Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson were very good. I think Scarlett Johansson could be considered the best Woman Actor on the planet. She is exceptional in everything. Hey, Clint Eastwood, take a look at the female side and let's hear from you. Supporting cast members Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury were great. In case you are wondering, Jackson didn't pontificate and kept his voice conversational. I thought I saw him struggling with that. HA! There is somewhat a surprise regarding the one known as The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan). And you probably thought Captain America was the Winter Soldier. Not so. But, truth be told I thought so too. One thing did bother me a little. Alexander Pierce says to Nick Fury, at one moment, in the beginning that Fury needs to get Iron Man to visit his daughter's party. Why mention Iron Man if he, Iron Man, wasn't to be used in here? Hey, the whole Avenger Crew could have been used. Didn't happen. Stan Lee has a short cameo. After the credits run the first time, stay with the DVD as there are scenes that purport to show us the upcoming sequel for the next time. You didn't think this was over, did you? All in all a very good enjoyable action movie. Kudos. (9/10) Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: No.",9 "If you like the 80s classic The Fly, you will be disappointed here. This movie is aiming for that same magic but it just ends up creeping the audience out.",4 I don't know why we are giving it a 9.7 rating. This deserves max 6 stars.,6 "Attack on Titan is an action, adventure, drama, fantasy and horror TV Series, it's also an animation made by the Wit Studio and the Production I.G. in Japan. There are 25 episodes of each 24 minutes and 3 seasons which one with 2 parts. The story is about a hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by titans. Titans are typically very tall, semm to have no intelligence and devour humans beings, and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than a source of food. But a small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremly high walls of 50 meters. The main character is a teenage boy named Eren Jaëger who wants to know the secret about the titans and extermine them. He is determined, most of the time arrogant and reckless. The mood is dark, calm and stressing. I'm giving it 9 out 10 because i liked the ambiance of the serie and it captived me to know more about the titans and the history of the main character.",9 I saw it on ott plateform. At last about 20 min before i stopped it watching to overcome emotions and tried to refresh mood so i able to see last 20 min. If u are pet lover it's tear apart your heart a true masterpiece of Indian cinema. Currently i have not enough courage to see it 2nd time. Because emotions are unstoppable.,10 "A worthy followup to the first Tobey Maguire film. It kept me engaged which I admit doesn't often happen in superhero films. I have found this one to be just as well written and acted by the cast. The character of Dr Octavius brilliantly played by Alfred Molina was very well crafted and unlike Willem Defoe's green goblin going mad, there still remains a shred of decency in Doc Oct, nice twist toward the end. James Franco reprising his role as Harry and plays it a bit of an obnoxious douche taking over OZ Corp. The chemistry can be felt between Maguire and Dunst, my only real criticism is that they're in their 20's but do the whole meek and shy act like a 13 yr old would do. Great stunt work and pacing. 4/5.",8 "Bloody hell that's one boring film, the original is much better!",3 "I use the neologism 'fake' to describe how misled I felt when watching this non-movie. After the over-hype and rave reviews this cinematic product received to advertise and promote its existence, actually watching this was a nauseatingly painful experience complete with bad acting, incomplete build-ups leading to non-events, misleading historical non-facts, illogical situations finding resolution via even more incredulous non-resolutions ... No need to dwell on every single faulty moment of this tripe, no spoilers required even, massive advertising has had its victory here over quality movie-making. Parting advise: Do not watch, play with your cat, mow the lawn, or read a book instead. This will be forgotten very soon, and hopefully Ms. Gadot will return to a catwalk where acting is not a required skill.",3 "Venom was very mediocre. The movie goes superfast and you're out of the theater before even knowing it. The movie is pretty boring before Eddie gets the Venom-symbiote and the only thing going for the movie is Tom Hardy and his portrayal of the chemistry between the two. Otherwise the movie is pretty bad critically, but if you like Marvel you're gonna like Venom.",4 "ENREDO TODO FURADO, DESCONEXO, CHEIO DE BURACOS, ERROS E FATOS MAL EXPLICADOS, COISAS ABSURDAS PRA JUSTIFICAR OUTRAS.

BTW Hennry steels the show.",9 "This film was not a hit in India. This is not surprising as it was not a typical Bollywood film. This is not to say that it is a bad film. It has a good story, good performances, mind blowing music and very good ending. Unlike most Hindi films, ""Dil Se..."" is not loaded with dialogues. Most of the ""talking"" is done through expressions. Leaving the audience to think for themselves. Perhaps this is why Indian audiences did not embrace this film and Indians living abroad did. ManiRathnam proves with this film that like Shekur Kapoor he would not be out of place in Hollywood making big budget films that captivate the audience. A must see!",9 "I really liked Forrest Gump the first time I watched it and I still do like it. But can someone explain to me why it won 6 oscars, including best picture and best actor, in the same year that The Shawshank Redemption & Pulp Fiction were released. Forrest Gump is a good movie but it isn't in the same league as TSR or PF. Will the academy ever apologise for this mistake and many others? I think they should. Tom Hanks was good, but the real winner was Morgan Freeman. Robert Zemeckis did a great job, but what Quentin did.....WOW. Forrest Gump is a wonderful film, but in this year against Pulp and esp. Shawshank it shouldn't have won. This (Forrest Gump) is a great indication that the academy awards don't always get it right, this comes mainly through the hype which surround some movies therefore maybe the oscars should be held a year later when the hype is gone. (Titanic vs. L.A. Confidential another example) Then the real winners will win hopefully. 1994 was a great year but the academy got all the main oscars wrong (best actress was Natalie Portman for Leon), what a shame. Nevertheless my rating for Forrest Gump is 8/10",5 "For a Marvel production, it's not really great. Despite starting out better than wondavision, both ""Falcon And The Winter Soldier"" and Loki have been disappointing. I try not to compare but it's hard, it feels like Marvel's making shows just because they said they would or because people want it. I mean, it's an okay show, like any other MCU production it has moments and hints that lead to crazy fan theories and the ending has a lot of innuendos on future movies/shows, so I would suggest you watch it, just don't get too excited. It is the most Loki thing ever though, basically Loki meets Loki, falls in love with Loki, then betrays Loki and now the balance of the entire multiverse is in disarray lol. Next level narcissism.",6 This series is nicely written albeit often being relatively predictable. It has mostly good and sometimes great acting however it's not really a great show. There are dozens of british or Scandinavian crime series that is just as good or even better. I suspect the reason this show has been getting so much praise is that there is simply not that many quality shows premiering this spring/summer on the major streaming services. So do see it but don't expect to be blown away!,7 """GLASS ONION is a smart-talking (almost self-consciously), glossy-looking, totally engrossing deduction bash that keeps audience attentive to every clue and line onscreen, and guesstimating who is the killer (and who will be the victim). The posh set goes lavishly in accordance with Miles's parvenu status, artsy-fartsy (a Rothko's painting is hung topsy-turvy) and vainglorious (full of futuristic design and glassy objects), he even rents Mona Lisa from Louvre, with which he wants to be remembered in the same sentence (a wish will be ruefully fulfilled in the finale). The story ostensibly veers into the familiar orbit of Agatha Christie's AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, after one murder is committed, and a second one follows, then in midstream, a big reveal leads to a prior murder that is plausibly kept under wraps, and flashback gives away the real person who hires Blanc and how they cooperate in solving the mystery, after an epiphany hits Blanc, the culprit and the evidence comes into light, and the final retribution is pleasantly satisfactory."" -",7 "THE GODFATHER PART II This was a good sequel... I can understand why there is a lot of debate over which movie is better, part 1 or 2. Personally I am sitting on the fence. Part 1 was a good film... I enjoyed it as you can read below... but part 2 was a better story. This film has 2 stories in it... the rise of Michael Corleone as the new mafia boss, and the other story is about Don Vito Corleone when he was young making his rise as the Godfather. The casting as before was brilliant. Al Pacino returned as Michael, and he played the part really well. Robert DeNiro played his father (a younger version) Don Vito Corleone. DeNiro was a fantastic choice to play the Godfather... he looked the part. I could imagine DeNiro growing old to look like Marlon Brando. Excellent stories. Again though, it was pretty slow paced during parts of the movie... it is such a long film. I don't think it needs to be that long. I know I say that a lot about films, but it's how i fell. I don't think that about all long movies... there are some movies that I love that are over 3 hours long... but these films felt long. It probably didn't help that I had to keep pausing this movie all the way through. I actually watched it in 2 halves because it was taking me so long. I will give this film a 7 out of 10... I know I gave part 1 the same mark, but they are 2 completely different films. Great story!

The storytelling is awful and i really dont get the story. A movie which fails with the most basic thing as storytelling isnt good. I've really had higher expectations, based on its Palme d'or winning, which i really don't think it deserved to win. Acting is pretty good, but not anything over the usual. Editing and filming is however a bit better, but it dosent get my rating up, because the awfully complicated storytelling and the story developming. Manuscript is very bad and pretty boring. To summarise this is a boring an dtoo complicated film. I usually enjoy those films which you cant get sometimes, like ""Asteroid City"" (2023), but this movie fails totally with captivating my interest in it. Wouldn't recommend at all.",3 "To all the people, who feel like they have to bash this series for its sometimes disappointing predictability, overdone characters and overly dramatic sequences, I have one question. What did you expect? A television series that recounts the events of an entire day of complete mayhem in real time, thus reaching the genre-typical 24 episodes CAN'T be anything else. Even The Sopranos, which must be the most well written television series ever, would be nothing else if it had been produced in the same way. 24 was an attempt of creating on-screen entertainment in the style of Rocky and Rambo. These films were probably some of the weakest and most predictable films ever when it came to plot realism and credibility. And you know what else? They are absolute landmarks of cinema history and I will cherish them as part of my favorite films of all times list forever. 24 is a very entertaining and THRILLING series, that has filled, many boring evenings of mine, with nail biting tension and with stuff to talk about with my friends the next day. It is certainly ONE of the best television series ever and 7 seasons and an IMDb-rating of 9.0 tend to agree with me.",8 "Why has this got such high ratings? I don't usually review things but I think there needs to be some sort of warning on here - if you're looking for twilight, you'll live this, but if you expect realistic behaviour and a brilliant script you'll be left wanting... Or laughing at the ridiculousness! Feels very try hard to me.",1 "Utterly boring pathetic attempt to cash in on the original which was far superior in every way. Utterly stupid to put Quadritch in an avatar body when he failed and died in the first one. Story is same as the first- just add water. Visuals are nice an all but gets sick of blue blue blue. Only one action set piece and everything else is just talk talk talk. Why do blue alien monkeys from another planet call each other ""Bro""? This is a teenage angst story with a much blue monkeys set under water. Original movie was superior in every way. I don't see any difference in the CGi either. If you like teenage angst set in an alien world among blue monkeys who call each other bro and the most predictable storylines ever- please watch this crap. I'd rather watch the first.",4 "I guess this was supposed to be a satire of the modern tech world situation where a tech ""genius"" leads a bunch of unquestioning sycophants. We've all seen this in our society over the last 30 years, so this situation is ripe for satire. But when the attempted satire is thrown in your face by a stable of overacting camera hogs burdened by an unimaginative script that has been seen several times over the last few years (tech mogul is really an idiot who stole his ideas from his girlfriend), the whole enterprise quickly wears thin. Knives Out was clever and inventive - this is neither. The performances in Knives Out fit really well within the well interwoven story - these do not. It's as if the director was telling each actor in Glass Onion ""we need more flamboyance"" ""we need more faces being made directly into the camera"" ""no subtlety in this movie whatsoever!!"" Despite all of the above, I did find the movie slightly - very slightly- entertaining and amusing. Just no where near as entertaining and amusing as Knives Out.",6 "Overly naive setting makes me hard to love this series. It just reminds me of the iron fist when he first returns to NYC. A good sci-fi still needs to build on the real world. There are multiple scenes where he could have made things less chaotic and more straight-to-the-goal (such as saving someone or fixing something) but he didn't simply because he follows the good/humanity side of the heart. What's wrong with that is, on one hand, for the development of the series, it becomes so formulaic and tedious simply because how to make what would happen between now/the current to the status where he finally accepts the truth creative and eyeball catching should be the key for the popularity of the series . On the other hand, for the audience, since we all know that eventually the world will be saved, those self-exploring process is really too redundant. Even not knowing should not be the reason for stopping you from becoming stronger and fighting for survival. To simply put, he whines too much.",6 "If ""You shave, probably have pubic hair""-Jason Bateman in ""Paul"", you will probably find this movie as uninteresting as I did. The plot of juvenile, and so is the script. The villain is unfortunately the exact same villain Mark Strong plays in every single movie. It takes way too long to get to the point, and to get past the origin, and struggles of new super powers. It's like DC made a kindergarten version of Deadpool, and sucked at it.",3 "This film starts off being very confusing, but if you stick with it it does become clearer. Kate Winslet and Kirsten Dunst give good performances, Tom Wilkinson is hardly used and almost on autopilot, and Jim Carrey? The jury's out, but not terrible, merely average I think. The ending was pretty lame; it was rather obvious from the start what was going to happen, just to what degree. Definitely not worthy of the IMDb top 50, but also definitely worthy of a look. Rent the DVD and make your own mind up. I've now run out of things to say about it, that's all the inspiration that it gave me. Is it ten lines yet?",7 "This was a very disappointing movie. I was not at all surprised when I got to the end credits and realised Michael Bay had directed it, I should have guessed from the nonsensical explosions. I wish someone would tell that man that just because a car crashes, does not mean it will blow up in an explosion so big it looks like a bomb went off. There are a few decent action set pieces, but the vehicular ones are offset by distractingly bad crash test dummies being behind the wheels, and the fight scenes are usually offset by so many jump cuts it's like watching Taken. The characters are over the top caricatures, there are no plot twists or subplots, just the one main story that is in the movie description - billionaire recruits team to take down dictator. This is a film that, on paper, seemed really interesting. It had a pretty good cast, a director who, love him or hate him, has spent his career making vast amounts of money by giving people high octane thrill rides, and a bonkers budget of 150 million. Which it often seems like they blew 100 million of shooting the opening scene. It had the action, but it needed a bit of drama, some real build up of interpersonal relationships, to really elevate it. As it was, I didn't care when any of them were in danger because I don't know anything about them. What was disappointing about this movie is that it had the potential to be so much more. It just needed two things that the Fast and Furious have in spades - a sense of fun, and also a relatable sense of purpose. At it's heart, that series is all about family. If this film had a tangible, relatable through line like that, it would have been much better.",4 "I did not read books nor play the games. Just wanted to get some entertainment, and... After two episodes, I have still no idea what are the main goals of the main characters. I am not sorry for anyone who dies, I am not worried about those who are still alive. Simply I do not care. The show produced no emotions so far. Storyline looks as if it has been chopped by crazy editor, scenes that should bring emotions are often boring. Yet, there is something in the show that makes you want to see what happens next.",3 "I guess you could just view this movie as a bit of a lark, nothing to be taken seriously, but as a physicist I found that exceedingly difficult. I kept noting the ridiculous violations of the fundamental laws of physics and it largely prevented me from enjoying the film. Suspension of disbelief can only work up to a point.",3 "As someone for which musicals are not all that entertaining, I can say that I thoroughly loved Grease and West Side Story. I cannot say the same for La La Land. The music is repetitive in La La Land, and quickly loses its charm. The acting is great, I'll give it that, but the story has no place being called a good one. It follows the formula of a love story: meeting, honeymoon, trials, and eventual reunion, but fails at a flowing plot. The jump cuts with the season name is lazy at best, and feels to be a lazy scenery change. The plot events don't even do anything to hide that! And the music is utterly monotonous. Clearly, it is meant to be slow, emotional, but tracks like City of Stars consist only of a few chords and fail to develop beyond that. The melodies are repetitive as well as the dance sequences being mediocre at best. For someone who enjoys classical music and jazz too, it is odd how this movie would have put me to sleep!",2 "I didn't find the movie funny, and I am sure that this kind of film alreay existed so I can't say it was an original idea. And also, too much nudity, there wasn't the need for all of that. But after all, I liked it.",6 "I feel sorry for this anime. It takes a stupid, pointless idea and makes the best of it. The world has dozens of stories about macho dudes beating up other macho dudes because they don't agree with their morals. In the worst cases, these stories are filled with overcomplicated fight systems nobody cares about, and silly monologues. Macho-ness, the problem with using this tropes has nothing to do with sophistication. It's just that after seeing the same technique for 100 stories, you get bored. You become like JoJo and can predict their next sentences. Bad cliches are used by storytellers who don't know what kind of story they want to tell. Is it an epic adventure? A silly show about silly people beating each other? An examination of good an evil? JoJo's strength is the focus, unlike all these shows. The anime makes it clear what it wants to be early in the beginning. Then, every single thing that happens connects to that. JoJo wants to deliver a simple story of good and evil. The bad guys are really, really bad. The good guys are really good and charming. If the fate of the world was really in the hands of a macho dude, we'd all be filled with adrenaline. When it's a bunch of colors on the screen, you need more than this. Since JoJo knows its purpose is to deliver excitement, it will do everything it can to raise the stakes. Bad guys don't come back after being defeated just because you can milk the show a little more. They come back because it raises the stakes, makes us wonder how they can be defeated. The anime establishes that everyone knows what everyone's next move is, which is exciting because we wonder when will one of these will fail. Battles in anime always have pre-determined results. Every battle in anime is a man playing chess against himself. So a battle is only as exciting when the writers can challenge themselves, when they find ways to overturn their own schemes. The set-pieces drive the battles, not just meaningless shots of people using fists. Each battle is a progression of moves. It's an odd way to describe a fight but they're like a chess game in how every move has a clear influence on what happens next. There's something thrilling in seeing a person trying hard to beat himself up in chess. This anime just pampers its audience and its only famous cause of memes all this anime has is good songs that's all there is and nothing else.",3 "I cannot understand the good rating of this,frankly, worst fantasy I have ever seen. I cannot understand how 80 million budget can look like 100 dollar budget while watching all episodes. I cannot understand all these pathetic miscasts. I cannot understand where is logic in what characters are doing. I cannot understand anything as a fan of game series and after reading all books. Andzej Sapkowski must be crying seeing this disgrace. I feel pity about him. I cannot understand how you can ruin everything good which was in this universe. Please don't do second season.",1 "An excellent addition to this genre. I recently watched a quiet place which I like a bit more than this one. Bird box gets you wondering, what the heck is happening and it never really answers that question. Which I felt like needed a bit more flushing out. The length of the movie mixed with the shallowness of the plot left me a little wanting. The movie is rated R so that helped raise the tension especially since you start to wonder, will they kill all the main characters? Sandra Bullock puts in a solid performance. All in all I would say a very entertaining movie that I wouldn't bother watching again but definitely worth watching once.",7 "This is the best Avengers movie as of yet. Yes, yes, I know it's not officially an Avengers movie, but it feels like one. It's chocked full of Avengers, amazing action sequences, hero on hero conflict, a lot of quips, and some good character development sprinkled here and there. However, it also feels like a sequel to Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It works off a lot of those same themes, and it was directed by the same guys: the extremely talented Russo Brothers. I'm kinda glad Whedon is done directing these movies. He's a talented man, don't get me wrong, but his talents are much better suited for Buffy and its ilk. It's pretty clear that he's a TV guy through and through. There's a lot of overwriting going on in Avengers 1 and 2, causing the scenes to take too long and the plot to not advance as fast as a movie plot should advance. It's all right for a good director to be self-indulgent, but while the Russo are self-indulgent in an upward direction, Whedon is self-indulgent to the side, which is good in TV but not so much in film. Yes, I know the Russos have done a lot of TV work too, but they don't feel like 'TV directors' to the extent that Whedon does. There are less quips here, and a lot of the ones they do include feel like they benefit the story more than the quips of Avengers 1 and especially Avengers 2. A good chunk of them are delivered by or about Spiderman, who I am glad to see in this film. He's the best movie Spiderman by a good margin. What a lot of people forget is that Spiderman is supposed to be a dorky teenager. His invention was a way of saying, ""Yeah, all you awkward comic-book reading teens, you can be superheroes too."" I don't know how I feel about watching a whole movie based around this kid, but I love watching him and Iron Man play off each other. There's a 30 year age difference between Tom Holland and Downey and it shows. I also love his interactions with Captain America. I can see Cap being like an older brother to him if all this fighting stops. And it is an if. The story, of course, is that the Avengers are divided by an act that would requite superheroes to basically put themselves under the control of the UN. Over a hundred nations are in favor of it, as are Stark and most of the Avengers. Captain America is the outlier, but he refuses to move, and we're in for a Civil War. The UN wants to neutralize Bucky, especially after he supposedly attacks the conference in Vienna where the Act was signed, killing the king of Watanga in the process. Cap wants to help out is friend and free him from his mind control. By the end of the story, a lot of the mess has been resolved, but the deep ideological differences that started up the whole conflict in the first place are still there. I have all the respect in the world for the Russos for doing this. It makes it feel like what happens in this film really matters, a problem that Avengers 2 had a hard time trying to solve. Of course, when Thanos comes to town, the heroes are gonna have to band together, but I hope what that time comes, it's done well. The Russos are still directing, so I don't really worry about that, but it is a legitimate concern. The war this film most resembles is not the American Civil War, but World War I. And how did that end? In the Treaty of Versailles, which directly led to World War II. While I hope the Avengers don't end up in a World War II, I also hope not everything gets nearly resolved. The best parts of these movies are the Avengers themselves, and this film seems to get that, as it has its villain stay out of the spotlight and put the focus on the Avengers, and said villain's scheme has a lot to do with watching the Avengers fight. It's more than enough, particularly when the conflict between Avengers is made interesting and complex. The addition of Black Panther adds another wrinkle to the fray, as he really isn't on Cap's or Stark's side. It's complex, interesting, and completely entertaining.",9 "Hopefully people don't rely on these reviews, good or bad, to decide whether or not to watch a film. And who cares if 'The Change-Up' has been done over and over? It hasn't been done this dirty and funny that's for sure. This movie was right up Ryan Reynolds alley, but for Jason Bateman and Leslie Mann it must have required some work. They were brilliant in their roles as they deliver uncomfortable vulgarity, nudity and profanity on a silver platter. The film is rated 'R' and every bit of it pushes that rating to the max. But rather than typing out a bunch of spoilers, I say ""It's just a damn movie. Your life won't change if this movie sucks or if you love it"". So watch it for yourself. I did and I loved it!",10 "I have no idea why this has such a high rating. It's not terrible by any means, but it is quite boring for long stretches.",4 "A wealthy old author is found dead. A multi-character whodunnit with a diverse, well-known cast. Like Agatha Christie but with a bit more humour. An enjoyable and well structured murder mystery with a few interesting twists. Worth a watch. Daniel Craig does a nice job, good to see him on-screen post Bond.",7 "More than anything, this movie was sloppy, in many ways. the action was mixed, some was awesome, some was shaky and... sloppy. the dialogue was sloppy. the story was sloppy. this is a poorly made movie with decent entertainment value (1 viewing, 4/7/2020)",5 Based on a true story. Kinda movie where u can give ur precious time. Youomovie and time won't be wested at all,10 "The cast is fantastic, not one weak performance. As lead, Jeffrey Wright provides warmth, humour, and sadness as he explores the world that his character Thelonious 'Monk' Ellison inhabits. The writing is superb, developing and delivering a clever story that talks to modern themes around ethnicity and cult of the celebrity. It dissects the politics of race in a broader exposition of art and compromise. CGI was non-existent, thankfully. It is just a provocative drama and biting satire, great actors delivering a great script. As a member of the audience, I did not leave feeling I had been told off, chastised for being who I am. Instead, I left feeling warmth and enlightenment. This really is a lovely, clever film.",10 This is such a good series except for the FRUSTRATING Dr Sims impersonator. It is so nice to imagine what life would be like if we were to venture out into space except that we are constantly distracted by this nasty loser criminal pissing everyone off!,4 "The Boys is an entertaining programme. Yeah, okay, the love of your life may well soon be forgotten when a chocolate-eyed blonde babe with super powers comes along, and there are some clear agendas going on as I mentioned in the subject line, but overall, The Boys is an entertaining programme - so much so, I fact, that I had to repeat myself.",7 "Take this from a wide-eyed 6 year-old in 1965 glued to the tube with each episode and who once constructed a recognizable Jupiter 2 out of paper plates: well done. Specifically triggered by Season 2. Had a lot of distractions during the first season yet still appreicated the modern updates. Completely diifferent story/origin/basic plot elements yet still holding faithful to the core... while making a helluva lot more sense. Check out the original TV series and marvel at the serious tone versus the Day-Glo, illogical vaudeville nonsense of later seasons. A true assault on developing kid senses that I believe caused lasting harm in myself--and millions of other kids--as they tried to comprehend why Smith wasn't spaced from Day One. Criminy! In the pilot he not only disabled a military guard with deft karate-chop but set the Robot to destroy all vital systems including mass murder of the Robinsons. Then he warped into his later clownish form yet continued to... aw, heck... would someone out there please make a YouTube montage video of the many times Smith either tried repeated murder attempts, crashed the ship, damaged vital systems, risked all lives through personal folly and/or nearly got everybody killed so i don't have to? People have brains here (for most part). Fresh BEIEVABLE character updates that don't seem like a PC kneejerks or, Gods help us, another gender confused, distracting-as-hell erratica that have been force-fed into so many movies of late and do nothing for true charaterization beyond large Afros in the 1970s. Oh, and hey, folks... zero vulgarity. Go figure. Gee, a story told without the constant ""realism"" of constant F-bombs and the like. Take a lesson new season of Designated Survivor and (don't waste your time) Night Flyers... emphatic lip-twisting Fs do nothing but remind us all how much class we've lost as a whole. Finally, we've got some hard science fiction sans cultural yakkity-yak and confusing psycho-dramas. Binging on second season with last two to go but so far, it's outstanding.",9 "I thought this film was going to tell the story of the British, French, and Belgian vanguard that heroically fought the German blitzkrieg to buy the evacuees time. It's not...",1 "It was amazing. It got me hooked instantly. It was also a rollercoaster of emotions that I wasn't expecting at all. Though I had some spoilers, I really couldn't predict much, even the things that I knew would happend surprised me, cause I didn't know when to expect it. Totally a worthy watch, even though it's not a show I would usually enjoy (it has quite some graphics there, it's definitely not for everyone, if your are sensitive I don't recommend it, there were some times couldn't watch) I stayed for the characters, the aesthetic and the twists. I also liked the use of those kinda psicodelic scenes and the visualazing of metaphors.",9 "Yet another Netflix reboot taking a franchise backwards, sad really.",1 "Great acting, but the black and white 50's redo is a no go for me. I'm surprised at the high rating. And bc of the high rating I have attempted to watch it several times and it's just not any good. Raised By Wolves was a series I didn't like, but because of the reviews I attempted watch it again and I'm glad I did because it turned out to be a great show, however WondaVision isn't working for me at all.",5 "It was a little different from the other Adam Sandler movies, I really didn't like the movie but entertained and made you laugh. We enjoyed the movie while we were watching,I think one of the biggest factors in making the film beautiful is the film shooting environments jokes were not very good only a few scenes we had a lot of fun but normally Adam Sandler movies so much fun. it was a very simple film, logic errors were too much I couldn't understand how they suddenly found themselves in this environment, so I could connect with a better story.The story was very poor but this is a comedy movies so not to examine in detail",6 "Saw an early preview. After watching this I think even 3rd one was way better then this. Actually is a Twilight like romance film about Peter Parker. Spider-Man is just there for a little time to attract more viewers. I went for a action adventure film instead I got a love story. Previously I thought Ghost Rider 2 was worst film this year now its Amazing Lame Spider Man. This really happens when you hire a director whose only film is a low budget Romance film. This movie just made me sick, how can you even fool audience by giving a Romance film packaged as an action film. Whatever 3D was used was decent but, climax with Lizard was not anything special. CGI looks very fake and cheesy. The effects in this film are only comparable to first Spider-Man, second and third was way beyond this league. I don't know who was the master mind to green light this script. Because this will not attract the core Spidey fans, but if the studio wanted to attract the Twilight audience they might be successful. To conclude I hope this is the end of Spider-Man and its rights go back to Marvel and Disney so we can see Real Spider Man in near future.",4 "First season, great. Good ideas, nice execution. Doomsday upon us, nice ring to it. Second season, short stories, no real storyline. But well, some were good, some were silly politicial coment, but hey, still watchable. Third season is a parody to itself: nothing really makes real sense. Reality is nothing. And not in a mysterious kind of way, but more like this is so stupid the actors are feeling dumb doing it kind of way. The end is just ""Man, how obnoxious and nonsense can this get?"" Yeah, ruined it for me. And I tried. I really did. I hope you enjoy it.",6 "Hit-Monkey is... just okay. It kinda came out of nowhere, I didn't see anything advertised for it until after the first episodes premiered, but it feels like they used some scrapped material from the Deadpool project that never happened. The supporting character, Bryce, feels like a xerox of Archer, but glowing. He has some good one liners but Jason Sudeikis' delivery isn't the best. Which is odd, because he is really funny in most things he's in. Overall the show is written well, with excellent dialogue, and an interesting plot. But the pacing is extremely jumpy. When there is action it's fast paced and really exciting, but it doesn't ramp up as much as it skyrockets from the almost unbearably slow, exposition heavy scenes. I think it definitely could be better, but also it just makes me sad that Deadpool never got off the ground.",6 "I had given this show a rating of 10 earlier after watching the first season. But after subsequent seasons I felt the need to change my ratings otherwise it would give an impression that the rating holds good for them as well. The second season was also somewhat good. The life of the classmates after Hannah's passing and everything was still pretty good. Although, her appearance in Clay's head, that whole part seemed a bit weird, it was still not all that bad. I loved the ending to the second season though as it ended on a cliff hanger. Overall that was not a very bad season, pretty good in fact and I'm sure all the fans of the first season, every one would have given it a watch and even liked it. However, things are the total opposite when it comes to the third season, a totally dull, unnecessary and boring season. I watched the trailer itself and decided to give it a pass on this one. I couldn't bring myself to watch it as it went a completely different route. It shifted on a completely different track and I just didn't care anymore. Unnecessary characters were introduced and new unrequired plot no one who is a fan of the first two seasons would really care for. I guess the new teens are watching this. For me, it should have ended after the second season itself or should have been better and related to the original story or gone in whatever direction apart from the one they went in.",6 I loved it I can't wait for the next one to come out!,6 "I was hoping for something better, but the acting is not great. Especially the young princess is horribly weak. The story itself looks interesting so far, although I think we should forget the Games of Thrones and look at it as a complete different story. What bothers me though is the fact, that the studios have to be politically correct nowadays when choosing actors. I won't go into details... Another thing that came into my mind was that it looked like I was watching an episode of the Lord of the Rings and all the blond characters are elves. I sincerely hope that the series are getting better.",8 "Forrest Gump is a perfectly competent movie. Its major failure is one of morals and ideas, and the fact that so many, many people did not seem to notice or care, is what really flummoxed me.",5 "Very good movie Ryan acting is very nice also Margarot . I haven't totally watched this movie but anyway it's good upto I saw this.greta gerwig movies always good movies this film is also not exceptional from that she maintained her touch.coming to talk about screenplay gerwig and her husband Noah their combo both are legendary directors their combo is good not only his personal life but also in silver screen.ryan gosling is rarely do these type characters most of his movies he delivers same expression, thinking about his acting I am not fan for him but I like Margarot I am a big fan for her role Harley Quinn.",10 It's good but not up there with the first one but still way above the third one.,8 "I've just binged this over the last 6 or so hours and for the most part it was great!. I really enjoyed the characters, the actors playing them, the directing, music, literally everything to do with the production up until the last two episodes. Don't get me wrong the last two episodes did still hit all the boxes except one, it was two episodes too long for the story, things could have made more sense if ep7 was a round up but I think they could have done it on ep6. Ironically I think the money men got involved to leave it needing a second season. Personally I kind of hope there won't be another one because of how wrong and cliched the ending was, it was fun while it lasted. If this had been a stand alone 6/7 episode show it would have got a 10.",7 "The good part was watching Adam Sandler do a great job of playing serious character. The bad part is that the character was so despicable and two dimensional that after a hour most audience was hoping he would get killed by some people who screwed over for money. The character always put his needs first, cheating husband, lousy boss,rotten friend. The only emotions he showed was anger or frustration. I would not recommend this movie to anyone!",2 Very brilliant from charlie brooker ! Totally recommand it,9 "This has to be the most overrated movie of all time. How it won Best Picture over Shawhank Redemption is a mystery. I was bored with this movie. If it had been presented as a fantasy that everything that happened was only in his mind, it *might* have been worth rating as a 2, but it was still a terrible movie. One of the worst movies ever made.",1 "Finally got around to watching ST. It's a cross between The Goonies and Silent Hill with a touch of Twilight Zone. Lots of type casting and cliche nonrsense which wears a little thin. It's okay, but not as good as pegged to be. The lead to me, Millie, plays 11 well but her eyes are lifeless and cold. The remainder of the cast are good although the neurotic mother really does start to grate after a while. Verdict: it kills a few hours and maybe makes you divert your attention from what's in the fridge.",6 "As an MCU enthusiast, I didn't expect to like this series a lot. My expectations were Ant-Man levels. By that I mean, Ant-Man movies have been alright, but not even remotely close to Iron Man or Captain America levels. The callbacks to old television programs, that were shown in trailers, caught my interest, but I wasn't sold yet. As the series continued, the character development picked up speed, and the story became more enthralling. By the end of the series, I was sold that this was an absolute success. It turned in to a roller coaster ride, storyline wise, and was a lot of fun. Elizabeth Olsen is extremely attractive, and that was an original drawing point for myself... but this series delivered at a level that more than exceeded my expectations.",8 "First, I can't believe I went to this movie. My 18 year old daughter wanted to go so I said ok. I watched the first 20 minutes in disbelief - with my internal voice asking, ""How did this movie ever get made?"" The story is stupid. The acting is bad. The movie tries to be a cross between The Wizard of Oz, La La Land, Being John Malkovich and The Truman Show but fails on all attempts. Is it a musical, comedy, drama, spoof? Yes to all. But again, it fails miserably on all attempts. Oh - and have I mentioned how we women are supposed to be superior to men? Like the Woo Girls in HIMYM, it's just sad. I'll never get my time or money back, so I recommend you just save your money and go see something else. I just can't believe this film has good reviews. It must me a new way to market films - pay a whole bunch of people to talk it up and write good reviews on social media, and then you'll get the crowds on opening weekend. You've been warned.",1 "I did not enjoy this film one bit and its hard to know even where to begin. The plot is confusing to say the least and at no time did I understand anything that was happening. I felt the film was trying too hard to be different and had a certain Matrix feel to it in a bad way, the effects were good but to be perfectly frank I'm well aware of what directors can do with effects in movies these days so I'm not particularly impressed when they start doing elaborate visual effects just for the sake of it. I felt there was no character development at all and spent most of the movie wondering why the characters were doing what they were doing and eventually started to realise that the aim is to keep you on the edge of your seat but to be perfectly honest I wasn't kept on the edge of my seat in any sense and just found it incredibly frustrating. I believe at times the film tries to cash in on everyone's common knowledge of dreams in the way of ""oh yeah it is hard to remember my dreams, and there doesn't seem to be a beginning or an end in my dreams, I thought I was the only one"" type of situation which the film does to try and make you believe its almost talking directly to you but personally I'm not fooled, yes its a novel concept which I think has given a few a few easily pleased people the wow factor but when the smoke clears I hope the punters realise there are better ways to spend 2hrs and 20 odd minutes or better films to watch. The other frustrating thing about this movie is how complex and hard it is to take in all the information about dreams and your sub -conscious and how all this works when they're trying to get into someone's head, it went massively too deep and for a few split seconds it was a bit thought provoking but that quickly turned into frustration and a slightly stressed feeling because it just raises far to many questions which the film just doesn't, and probably can't answer. To summarise I would say that Chris Nolan did the most amazing job on the Dark Knight but this has really let him down, he has picked a great cast for the film and all are superb actors but couldn't identify with this film one bit and really just couldn't wait for it to end.",2 "Secret Superstar - Their 3 act structure plotline are really amazing especially for the 2nd act structure which is the complex of the plot created by her father. I personally feel like want to slap him. Then the 3rd act structure which is fully loads of emotion when nearing to climax. Aamir Khan (AK) once again proofed that he is not only perfectionist in acting but also perfectionist as a producer because you need some guts to produce this kind genre especially when do not have punch dialogues, fight scenes, romance which I mean commercial ingredients. I was missed to watch this film during Diwali 2017 and since then was waited for the HD version. Today is the day finally able to watch. It is really worth the wait. The movie not only blockbuster in India but it is also success around the world and now still grossing in China. Not all film able to enter China market. Previous AK movie that released in China was Dangal. I will give 10/10 Imdb rating.",10 "Waste of time. Heroes are not interesting, fights are borring",3 "Firstly I want to clarify that La La Land isn't a bad film. It's fun, has great production value, and has some good acting along with some catchy songs. The story is clear and to the point with a message you'd want your kids to understand. It'd be great for a mindless movie night where you're too busy with the snacks and your mates to fully concentrate on artistic concepts or deep explorations of human nature. But I was angry after watching it because it is not a great film, or even a good one, it's a passable film. Passable films aren't deserving of 6 Oscars. I'm not normally a musical person (although I fully appreciate why people enjoy them) but watched it due to the hype expecting some kind of revolutionary masterpiece that would become one of the few musicals I actually like. But yet again I was disappointed. For a start the plot was bland and uninspiring with extremely little depth. I know musicals generally don't go to much depth but if you're going to be the film of the year do something original. The 'penniless artist' trope has been done many times before and even here they made the characters flat and romanticised. The film seemed to jump violently between a story about 'real people', a homage to the classics, and a pantomime. Due to this I couldn't get immersed in the story at all nor get to know the characters. By the end of it I realised I didn't care about them at all nor could I take any of it seriously. A film should know what it is, especially one that did so well. The Moulin Rouge knew what it was so well that it had a giant metaphor for itself sitting in the middle of it, but that comparative rant is for another day. This film did nothing new. It had the same approach as musicals made 50 years ago. There was no 'modern spin', placing it in the 21st century does nothing if the bones of it are the same. And that would all be fine if it wasn't hailed as a masterpiece. Filmmaking is an art and art needs to change and evolve. Praising this is stunting the growth of a genre that could potentially be so much more. Hollywood is spending so much time saying 'Look how great we are!' and 'Look how great we used to be!' that it's forgetting what makes film great, originality and growth. Hollywood needs to learn to embrace the new and daring (although something tells me they never will). Great films are being made these days but they don't have the visibility they deserve. This film wont be remembered in the history books, stop acting like it will.",5 "This happens so often when a sequel or prequel gets made after a highly successful show has made its mark...Once that benchmark is set, it can be a tough if not Impossible act to follow... Such is the case here..There Are exceptions to this rule such as the Battlestar Galactica remake of the old original series wherein the successor Exceeded the original in every metric.. So it happens, but not here with GOT...Right off the bat, the initial opening scenes with the dragon and the young girl who is I guess, this shows version of Daneerys, All these scenes show a CGI that is severely lacking compared to GOT...The color palete looks faded, lacking detail and really, it looks like a computer rendered background that would not fool anyone... yes of coursre, it IS computer rendered but a good CGI will Not draw attention to that fact..It will Make you Believe... Not so here......The Dragon in the opening scene looks Wayy off which is wild since the original GOT had dragons rendered with cinema quality appearance of the highest order...Quite frankly, these dragons here look pathetic, lacking detail, menace, or sheer presence...its absent.... Being that there are 10 dragons in this show, maybe this is the runt of the litter but they Should have done Better.. As for the acting,initially I was offput by the casting and as many commented, I didnt feel an immediate connection with anyone here...Upon wading thru the 1st half of the show, I Will say that elements of the original GOT's vibe and atmosphere Are there and Do infuse some of the scenes , especially those with the young princess and her father and the dialogues of the father and Damon...Its not totally absent ,it IS there but in the format of a lighter budget show with lower caliber actors and effects and sets...Its Not so bad that you Cant get into it and I'd suggest suspending the sure to come judgements till you are a few shows into the series...Theres hardly any new series that doesnt need a few shows under its belt to hit its stride and hook in the viewers... most new casting feels stiff and wooden as actors are just getting Into their roles and have yet to inhabit them to the point of being Convincing...Yes, this show too is doing the wokeness theme and politically correct diversity dance as is just about Everything these days.. it is what it is and its part of the new world consciousness, it infuses Everything ...it can seem too ""forced"" and not a natural expression of the storylines when writers and casting try to conform to and make the story fit these current trends... that said, if you loved GOT, which i do , then certainly this is worth a watch to see how it evolves...why complain when a favorite series is given further expression? Enjoy it for what it is and those who do not want to see it, turn on Something Else...Simple as that!",6 "They just keep talking about Destiny and other crazy cryptic things with no real cohesion to script. Tried to put everything in the show from djin to dragons and not concentrating on connecting dots. Extremely poor storytelling, very good effects and production values though. Also, people keep saying Henry cavill was great in the show, well I would bet to disagree and would say that he was nothing it average. Would watch second season of paid to do so.",3 "Wanted to like this show; the premise was promising and I like some of the actors featured. Production values were good....HOWEVER!!!! Both my wife and I could not get past the vile and crude aspects of the scripts. If you have half a conscience, this show is sure to be an affront to your senses on a variety of issues and levels. Quite frankly I am disappointed that the actors have compromised themselves to the extent that they have agreed to participate in this repulsive waste of time and money.",1 "Season 1 was fresh. It felt brave and free, took risks. It was really a oasis in the dessert of ideological driven, moneygrabing soulless entertainment that Hollywood has turned into. But alas, as the series grew in popularity wokeness has crept inn from the shadows and sterilised this once magnificent freespirited series. Now its an philosophical dead end, and all of whats left is the exterior of it desperately trying to keep us hooked with ever the more over the top violent action, and crazy scenes. Which are amazing, and at times hilarious but are not in of it self the most important. I give it a 6 because of a great first season, and because of some very creative amazing scenes (through the whole series), and high quality production wise. Acting is also pretty good, and many of the characters are well written. Would have been a 8-9 if it had not given away its identity to identity politics.",6 "Ten minutes into ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, it was clear that screenwriter Charlie Kaufman has a limited bag of tricks. What was clever in BEING JOHN MALKOVICH the first time I saw it became pretentious during the second viewing and insufferable during the third viewing. ADAPTATION was a similarly too-clever pretentious exercise in modernist style with no substance. ETERNAL SUNSHINE mines the same vein, but this time around the results are about as substantial as cotton candy and as permanent as a fireworks display. Except for the cutesy plot device--which was refreshing decades ago when handled by the likes of a Godard or a Philip K. Dick or a Harold Pinter--the film is like a second-string Woody Allen project fed into a blender (or rewritten by Donald Barthelme). The ""insights"" about relationships in this film are, as one critic aptly described it, about as profound as those in a Hugh Grant movie. And as ""experimental"" as Kaufman may think he is being, the plot is as predictable as that of any b-movie, once one figures out the premise of the story (which the slowest audience member will do in about 20 minutes). And what's the point of the murky faux-cinema-verite visual style in many scenes? The three points out of ten I awarded this film are primarily for the actors, Jim Carrey in particular. When will the Hollywood establishment and the critics finally learn that Kaufman is a one-trick-pony? The emperor is not wearing any clothes here. As someone who has championed and supported TRUE avant-garde filmmaking for decades, I see this as a cheap Hollywood pastiche of the avant garde. Those who found John Sayles' LONE STAR to be ""multi-layered"" instead of cliche-ridden will find much to praise and discuss in ETERNAL SUNSHINE. While Kaufman is not as bad as P.T. Anderson (at least Mr. Kaufman manages to honor traditional story structures while re-fashioning them, and at least he can create REAL if shallow characters, something Anderson hasn't learned to do), my evening would have been better spent watching a straight-to-video action film or some obsscure 1950s Allied Artists post-noir crime film. Rent this one...or better yet, rent something else!",3 "Alfonso Cuaron directed this visually stunning film that stars Sandra Bullock as Dr. Ryan Stone, who is on her first outer space mission aboard the space shuttle Explorer, along with veteran astronaut Mathew Kowalski(played by George Clooney) who get a massive shock when debris from a destroyed Russian missile causes a chain reaction in space, sending more debris hurtling towards them as they are both away from the shuttle, which is destroyed, putting them in a fight for survival to get back to Earth before their oxygen wears out, and more debris arrives... Marvelous F/X and direction really put the viewer in space like never before captured, even if the story and characters don't reach the same heights of inspiration.",7 "I wouldn't bother with The Lighthouse. It's creepy for nearly 2 hours but, in the end, pretentious and non-sensical. I don't much like Eggers. I didn't like The Witch either. Both films were super-hyped, and both underwhelmed me with their stilted writing and pseudo-artistic editing. I like my horror more straight up, no BS. Like Rosemary's Baby or The Exorcist or John Carpenter style. Eggers has no warmth, no likable characters, no involvement of the audience on a compassionate level. Oh, and no laughs! No fun. Zero fun. Horror should be sort of fun, too, or what's the point? This movie is just not enjoyable to watch in any sense. And it doesn't tell any kind of real story at all. Except maybe how loneliness is a drag, alcohol can lead to madness & life is about bad karma coming back to bite you? I mean, not sure, don't care, not interested, not impressed.",5 "One of the worst movies i have ever seen. I was very excited that di caprio and brand pitt would play in a movie of famous tarantino. I havent idea for what it was about the story of the movie , i thought it would be very good. But it wasnt . No anguish as i was watching the film. it was very smooth . I just liked the 60s and the hippies that i saw in the movie And i learned lot about them . Nothing really special. noone of my friends liked also the movie . 2 stars",2 "The acting is good, the visual effects are great, and the basic premise of deeply corrupt superheroes with various apparent mental disorders is still cool (as it was in Watchmen). I thoroughly enjoy the not-so-subtle parodies of the Justice League heroes, and there are plenty of fantastic scenes and moments throughout the first season. Now, I'd probably have given The Boys a 10 back in the Reagan era, or even in the 90s, but the kind of over-the-top Anti-Americanism and Christian bashing it indulges in just feels vicious and crude to me now. Perhaps society today is dominated by completely different forces than the Moral Majority, or maybe I've simply outgrown my youthful cynicism. Either way, just like with Preacher (also based on a Garth Ennis comic), I find it incredibly stale, and it seriously detracts from what is still a good show. (And I say this as a Swede with no religious convictions.)",4 "It's simple, it's easy to understand and its worth your while. No too much to there in the movie and simplest of stories you can find with beautiful presentation. A good watch",6 """Dil Se"" is poetry. Although it is a Mani Ratnam film, the hand of Santosh Sivan is all over it, especially in the music videos. Sivan's artistry and Ratnam's genius, when combined with the sizeable dramatic talent of Shahrukh Khan and an amazing soundtrack by A. R. Rehman, is almost perfect. Even Manisha Koirala is good! Preity Zinta also stands out in a smaller role as SRK's reluctant fiancee. This is not your typical Bollywood film, and this showed at the box office, but that's not a bad thing. This film shows more artistry, more integrity, and more ""dil"" (heart) than most recent offerings from both the east and the west. ""Dil Se"" is a really great film.",10 "I am all for women empowerment, but this movie was pretty boring. Henry Cavill was cast to bring more women, but sadly that failed. He doesn't have the charisma to play the iconic Sherlock. And Millie as ebola was pretty standard stuff. Boring and sub standard.",3 "Just don't watch it is a very big waste of time just go watch the other new gen (Demon slayer, attack on titan) or just naruto because this story has an overused idea and the fights in this are pretty much pointless because the victory just comes down to one final 'clash'",1 "Hey people liked retro Spider-Man cameos. So let's make another multiverse movie and have character cameos for the sake of having them. Add in some horrible dialog that you can almost see Cumberbatch forcing himself to say without rolling his eyes. I didn't like the plot. Didn't like the dialog. And basically found myself laughing at some really cringy and dumb moments. One of the dumbest character deaths ever filmed in the MCU happens mid movie. Worst MCU movie so far.",3 So bad they shoukd of thought about this for lonher,4 This movie has a lot of big useless actors and actress. ( Just big Hollywood names to attract the audience Margot Robbie is useless Dakota Fanning is useless Al Pacino is useless Kurt Russell is useless ) This movie was boring very very boring . I still can not believe that a movie made by Quentin Tarantino and staring Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio to be unwatchable movie .,4 "Very entertaining, glad to see a sequel that goes in a different direction from the original but still has a good story and satisfying flow. I love Knives Out so I was extremely excited for this. I was hoping it would be my favorite movie of the year but nah. The ending felt hollow and incomplete? The Characters were shallow and the mystery just wasn't as great. Still a fun watch with unexpected twists. Synopsis: Benoit Blanc returns to peel back the layers in a new Rian Johnson whodunit. This fresh adventure finds the intrepid detective at a lavish private estate on a Greek island, but how and why he comes to be there is only the first of many puzzles. Blanc soon meets a distinctly disparate group of friends gathering at the invitation of billionaire Miles Bron for their yearly reunion. Among those on the guest list are Miles' former business partner Andi Brand, current Connecticut governor Claire Debella, cutting-edge scientist Lionel Toussaint, fashion designer and former model Birdie Jay and her conscientious assistant Peg, and influencer Duke Cody and his sidekick girlfriend Whiskey. As in all the best murder mysteries, each character harbors their own secrets, lies and motivations. When someone turns up dead, everyone is a suspect.",8 "There are mixed feelings about this engaging flick. To start, this is a competent, well executed ( and I am not talking about historical accuracy)thriller, with an able cast of mostly good character actors. It does convey the explosive atmosphere of the early Islamic Revolution, perhaps little one-sided , but still... The real trouble starts with the Oscars, and the Hollywood money machine. Is this the best picture made last year? I sincerely hope not. If it is, lets just close the doors to lofty proclamations, and just be entertained. I did enjoy watching this movie, and found myself thinking that it is better than I expected. But, does this little confession of mine make it a masterpiece? Oh, no, not in thousand years. Money, as usual rules. Promotions, agencies, right connections, aggressive advertising, that's what is all about. A healthy dash of simpleton patriotism, twisting of the facts in favor of CIA, and nobody gets offended and too distressed. Almost nobody. There are few people left who do get offended with the predictable lack of bold creativity. But then who cares about few curmudgeons and killjoys.",7 "I dont know about the rest of all the reviewers here, but i used to watch the original series of this show as a child, and this is bringing back fond memories...fast forward 53 years..the special affects are brilliant..and the acting is better..this was what the director had in mind half a century a go, now they can do it properly..the cast is excellent..lets hope we can get a few seasons in..........",9 "Iron man 2 is arguably better than the first one Tony Stark is developed even more and made even more interesting than he already was. It introduces great new characters, the 2 antagonists Ivan vanko and Justin hammer are great. The fight scene are well choreographed but sometimes a little short. the cinematography was really good especially in the third act",8 "The entire ""movie"" consists of designed-for-3D CGI displays meant to make you want to see the actual movie because it's pretty and some hastily sketched, teaser-y plot scenes to make you interested in what the movie might be about. Too bad they forgot to make the actual movie out of it! There's no director leadership; there is no screenplay; there is no script, no actual writing and development of characters. Same actors play seemingly same characters that behave completely unlike the in the first movie. We are told offhandedly, ""oh, did you know, what you saw happen in the first movie? that didn't happen, move on, oh, that other thing didn't happen either, move on, oooh, look, 3D kitties!"" It's like someone hastily scrawled an bulleted list outline for a possible movie on her knee 10 minutes before deadline, and another someone just filmed scenes that roughly correspond to each bullet point.",2 "The effective inciting incident, along with the movie's two very good young leads, and a couple of genuinely creepy moments are severely undercut by a predictable third act & an over reliance on eye-rolling jump scares.",4 "After waiting for more than 12 years, I expect something more. Honestly, the story is not creative and boring. I understand that Pandora is beautiful and the graphic is the strength of Avatar, but I don't need to see it for more than 50% of the movie duration without moving forward to the plot. There are many interesting things that add to the story that can be answered or simply cut the duration. Many things don't make sense anyway. The premise that leads to the 'way of water' is ridiculous. The movie is too humanized, predictable, and has no creativity. James Cameron was one of my favorite directors, but this movie changes everything.",3 "Among HBO's best productions, this miniseries powerfully portrays both the nuclear catastrophe and the catastrophe of Soviet socialism that enabled it and compounded the consequences. The look & feel of the production are top-notch, with the notable exceptions of a laughably un-Gorbachev-like Gorbachev character and the annoying British accents of the actors. Such a large cast with Soviet names may also prove a challenge to follow for the uninitiated, but the miniseries' overall payoff makes that worth tolerating.",8 "Who would think that Addams family mixed with Tim Burton would end in a teenager serie trying to mimic Harry Potter. I expected more from Tim Burton and don't find the spirit of the movie but just another Netflix marketed serie for kids. The main character is now 20 instead of 11 in the movie still wearing braids and the story begins in a college nowadays... The plot also is not really follow able. I can't follow an episode completely without feeling bored. But maybe I am not the target for this kind of serie. Only watch if you like teenagers movies. Only Christina Ricci and Catherine Zeta Jones are gorgeous in their roles but you don't see them often.",2 "Loved it. It's something abit different, while feeling a tad nostalgic with its 80s feel.",7 "Cast, songs, locations, acting, storyline all are best.. Best movie for me..",10 Show I've ever watched. Also it says my review is too short so hopefully saying this will make it long enough,10 "This was a wholly unnecessary sequel. The back story/history of Vito is barely touched upon, and really doesn't add much depth to the trilogy. Pacino fails to deliver to gravitas that Brando had, and we are treated to one mundane scene after another where people are discussing carpets and spouting inane cliched tripe. There's no drama of note, and quite frankly a half hour into this the dialogue was wearing very thin. A lot of the scenes were rehashed from the first movie done ineffectively and unoriginally. The 9 rating is definitely confounding to me because as a fan of the mobster genre this rang not only unbelievable but absurd in many cases. Not going to waste much more time here as clearly the 10 after 10 after 10 star rating will untimately rule the day. I had to double check to see that FFC actually directed this one, because honestly it didn't seem to me that the same person that directed the original Godfather could handle the sequel in such a clumsy way. I thought he would have treated it in a much more dignified and competent manner. The film looks good, sure. How could it not? The soundtrack was off to me, though. The live show scenes, because this is Vegas, were downright lousy and annoying. Not worthy of the praise heaped upon it at all. Watch the original again or Good Fellas. They're at least original. Also, WAY too long. I'm not even sure where the 5 stars are coming from.....",5 "Gamers in the future virtually battle for what are, in reality, the 'keys to the (virtual) kingdom'. Based on a book of the same name (that I have not read) the movie is a vast CGI extravaganza supporting a simple 'treasure hunt' plot and endless allusions to 1980's pop culture. As a nostalgic boomer I usually like that sort of thing, but after an interesting first third, the film's incessant bombardment of pop-imagery became tiresome, then almost embarrassing. Typical of director Steven Spielberg's youth-targeted films, the film is full of 2D characters, superficial situations, artificial sounding-dialogue, and saccharine sentiments. I stopped caring about the story during the endless 'Where's Waldo?'-style battle and just waited for the film to wrap up in the inevitable smarmy group-hug ending. Technically, the film is amazing but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being co-opted into someone's cloying, self-indulgent second-childhood dressed up as 'hip' (please substitute current slang equivalent).",5 "Empty story and pretty much pointless. Mysterious epidemic can be only avoided by being blindfolded in the woods is not really my type of story or my way of surviving. Further, clashe acting and very predictable characters. It's a time and brain waster.",5 "I was so excited to watch this film having seen the trailer for it and i have to say that i wasn't disappointed. The story may seem like a pointless one but its so funny, i loved it. There are so many laugh out loud moments, it really is one of the best teen comedies out there. The guy who plays Fogell or McLovin is fantastic, he really really plays the character well and i found him very funny but having said that all 3 of the boys played their characters well. If you are ever in the mood to be cheered up or just fancy a good old laugh then this is the film for you, im 22 and loved it. Very funny, and well written 9/10, well worth a watch if you like teen comedies.",10 It is an amazing TV series based on true story but unfortunately too short !

James do have a crush on Alyssa and yaa.. she had a feeling too.,9 "this film is very convincing hokum. nice, gentle, inoffensive and insubstantial story about prison life - I came away feeling prison was a place where nobody says f##k or fears bending over to pick up the soap. check out Freeman, in the token performance of his career, neatly basking in the falsely accused smart white gentleman robbins' shaddow. what a team... so very progressive. 'hope...' . oh yeah, we've got a lot of 'hope' going on here. The lush fantasy kind, so deadly sweet and full of bull. frank darabont is a gifted man who excels in making pretty pictures that strike at the very heart of american pie values and gives them a welcome support by elevating tokenism to its greatest levels in hollywood yet - that is no small achievement, considering... if you don't believe me check out his latest masterpiece, he just can't stop doing it. hell, why not! it sells tickets.",2 "I've watched AOT here in early 2021 and am blown way by its original storyline, engaging themes, interesting characters and gorgeous artwork. There are plenty of effusive reviews here to cover those praiseworthy details, so I'll focus here on why I deducted a couple stars. This reflects only my experience. Your mileage may vary. What I want to highlight is the unfortunate, often confusing and distracting haphazardness by which the story is told and how the graphic style changes from season to season (esp. 3-4). This is not a rant, but more of a critique of the process by which the story is produced for viewers -- ALL which I forgive because of the otherwise excellent overarching story. Storytelling (no spoilers): The first two seasons were internally consistent and a delight. But beginning with season 3 and further amplified in season 4 , the creators started making hugely incongruent leaps in the story with little or no build up, contextual transition or foreshadowing, the result being a jarring and frustrating narrative. Whether it's the out-of-the-blue introduction of major new characters that take over the story for endless episodes (at the minimization of the core characters so well constructed in seasons 1&2), or the suddenly new bigger world perspectives (season 3-4 esp.) --- it adds up to a very roughly told story that at times seems made up on the fly season-to-season. Add to that the simultaneous change in graphic visualization style (more below), it can be a real disruptive effect. Now, to its credit, after you wade through the seasonal narrative and visual challenges, the overall story is a quite clever one, but could've/should've been presented in a less erratic style. One cannot discuss AOT's storytelling without getting into the sometimes painful internal narratives, soliloquies, and conversations that drag on and on, mostly for exposition alone, and often at the most unnatural moments and out of context. Yes, while fighting a Titan or being shoved into a Titan's mouth one can have a deep and lengthy philosophical conversation with oneself or another as though there is no urgency in that moment. Yes, while riding full-out galloping horses a team can have a calm, softly spoken planning meeting, despite the jostle, noise and dust... at least they were able to, it seems. Truly bizarre, but not the worse design sin, because sometimes it works, but is vastly overused as an expositional method in AOT. Fundamental visual style changes: We all accept that an animated series that takes nearly a decade to produce only 4 seasons is going to undergo evolution in style. Perfectly fine and expected. But the graphical style changes that happen in season 3 (a sad downgrade in style) and season 4 (an upgrade in style, but radically different) are so dramatic that it seems that entirely different budget, management and creative teams produced the series season by season, and shared little sentiment for the unbeatable methods used in seasons 1&2. English dubbing: I don't know if there are multiple 'dub' versions of the series, but what I experienced was really poor voice acting in seasons 1&2 (too hyperbolic and over-the-top, though some might be chalked up to generic anime styling). Season 3 improved, and season 4 nailed it with true quality voice performances. I watched most of season 3 in Japanese with subtitles to avoid the often grating English dubbed voice acting. And because there were so many endless expository ramblings by all new characters in the opening episodes of season 4, especially, one couldn't use subtitles and keep up with what they're saying and get even a glimpse of the visuals. To conclude, despite the 'grievances' I've mentioned, AOT held me in its grip (like one of its Titans might do), and I overall enjoyed it tremendously. I'd love to see a *quality* live action series of feature length movies based on the story, or maybe just one good one. Also, I suspect that my criticisms might have to do with how I binged all 4 seasons without a break instead if having to see it emerge slowly over many years, thus the ""seams"" are more apparent. I expect I'll rewatch the entire series and probably enjoy it even more. Note: At the time of this review Season 4 has only 11 episodes.",8 "I like the movies about the famous character ""Hannibal"", but I have hard time liking this one. It's more about the physiological battle of the other characters, Hannibal is just there to make their day bad. Mads is a man of culture, but this role doesn't fit him well. His accent is too strong.",6 "This movie is like a vegetable soup - random things are put into a pot, but anlike the vegi soup - it doesn't taste good. There is everything but a good script and storyline.",2 "I watched this with my family and we all agreed the personalities Sandler and Aniston played were agitatingly annoying in a way that ruined the plot for us. Also the Maharaj character playing a ""thug"" was overdone and irritating. This would be more entertaining if the characters weren't so above and beyond, annoying and loud.",2 A perfect recap of what must be one of the difficult operations of Indian army.,10 1st series set high standards but 2nd bit of let down specially after all the wait,4 "I really like the storyline but there is no passion. In that department it feels a bit ""teeny"". Vampire shows are suppose to be hot. I hope for a bit more spice in season 3. It's hard to feel the chemistry between the lead actors precisely due to the series being so PG. It does not feel like a mature audience series not in the way of say how a ""True Blood"" would feel. I think if the writers mix things up a bit then for sure the series would have more viewership.",8 "I can't believe the high rating for this. Bella Ramsey is a horrible actress and her character is really annoying. The way she acts throughout is just ridiculous and unbelievable, considering the situation they are in and the extremely dangerous monsters around she just runs around like a moron shouting and laughing and generally making as much noise as possible. You just would not behave like that. The directing is poor too for the same reason, we just see characters behaving so stupidly and some scenes are just too stupid to believe. I haven't played the game this is based on but if Ellie is just the same as she is in this it would be a very short game for me because I would shoot her myself.",5 "Barbie movies have always been an embodiment of women empowerment and creativity in the Barbie beautifully continues this tradition. With its captivating storyline and empowering messages, this animated gem is a delightful treat for both kids and adults alike. The film follows Barbie, a strong and determined young woman who embarks on a magical journey.

It's a must-watch for anyone seeking an uplifting and enchanting cinematic experience that celebrates the strength and creativity of women in a captivating world of magic and adventure.",10 "Quentin Tarantino directing Brad Pitt and Leo. DeCaprio this was a dreamy colaboration for me, but it turned out to be slow painful 161mins of my wasteful life. In order to rewrite history (again), Quentin tries to take normal viewers through the life of a fading, mid-life crisis facing former TV star trying to be a successful movie actor. This journey was so very stretched, slow and tiring! Only Hollywood people can find any association with this movie, that is why it is beyond my understanding Brad winning all the awards for it when his past record of characters is way better, which involves more acting than just driving around. If this is last movie of Qientin as being said, then it was his ode to Hollywood than his viewers.",4 This series teach you very important life lessons. I must recommend for those whos is going to start something new in his field and trying to new way. Simple life lessons with superb performance by cast.,10 "They failed to adapt the most important mechanics from the source (VN game) and thus ruined the finale. You should probably ignore this series and play the VN. In short, you collect light balls in the game and in this way you can change the fate of the character (Tomoya). In this series, the story goes straight to the worst ending with almost no explanation about this issue, and only in the last episode does this mechanic come into play in a very stupid way. As a result, everything you watched and the emotions you felt until the finale are thrown away in one fell swoop. At this point, I'm not sad, just angry af. I will not recommend anyone to watch this mental torture and I hope to forget about this mess as soon as possible.",6 "Can't Hollywood keep to the winning script when making new material based on beloved characters? If they don't like the original they can make their own thing, but then don't steal name and major traits from something original and great. Wednesday should be dark, but with sparkle. This one is more mainstream brat. It was easy to see that something was truly wrong in the first episode. The casting of Pugsley and Gomez shows that this is going to be bad, really bad..... Old series and movies were great because they had an connection with the viewers. Sometimes the materiale will not age well and therfore not fit into today's scene. Trying to reinvent it to suit today's marked while still selling it to the people who liked the original, is in most cases a loose-loose scenario. Wednesday is the latter. If you like the Addams Family - skip Wednesday. Nothing to see here except bad casting, bad script, lack of imagination and a tv and movie industry in free fall.",4 Wow horrible weak Story..i feel like am watching epic movie and Meet the Spartans.......😒😒 don't waste your time watching this!,3 "It feels like this movie was rushed and made in a hurry. Many parts from the original movie were massively shortened. The entire movie felt like a trailer for the actual movie. So I still feel like there needs to be a remake for the 1994 version, and that this was a test sample for it. Plus, there was no soul in it.",2 "As far as i understand it most people are crazy about this show. I had my doubts when I first heard about it. I figured the whole Addams Family thing had long since played itself out, who would tune in for a show about just one of the characters? But Jenna is a big star or a beautiful girl anyway and people said she was really good as Wednesday. I don't know, folks. The whole emotionless persona is far from new by now. The whole time I'm watching the show my thought is, she is basically a Vulcan. Or maybe she's Seven of Nine. I'm not too familiar with Young Sheldon but she kind of acts like him as well. For me it just is not interesting watching a character who acts like this. Sure if this was Star Trek I might feel differently. As it was the whole production was pretty off-putting. I'm six episodes in, maybe things get better in the last two episodes, but really it's all damn uninvolving. The only bright spot is Emma Myers. She is as cute as a button and very charismatic, and I would love to see what else she's done. But as for the show, a lot of one note grim humor that falls flat and gets tiresome, some terrible special effects, ultimately when you have a main character like this it's really hard to feel a connection to them or care what happens. Sure Jenna is gorgeous but possibly her acting chops are overrated or she has been given an impossible task. Horror comedies can be great if they do it right. Here it doesn't work. The comedy is forced and not funny and then you mix it with some pretty low rent and cheesy horror elements and the whole thing ends up being a lousy experience.",3 "If you love superhero shows movies watch this, even if you don't love superhero shows, watch it. Great job amazon studios, keep making shows, movies like these.",9 "As a fan of the Addams I was really exited to watch the series, especially since it's highly recommended on the Internet. In my opinion, the show seems off. The main character, Wednesday, is just a bratty teenager that gives off the most cringey vibe. The second hand embarrassment that'll get from this show is real. The writing is just bad... It's full with teenage school drama that I don't really get and the word 'patriarchy' thrown around for wokeness points. The jokes aren't funny, nor witty, they are there to fill some pages and some screentime. I'm glad that there are people who really like the show, but for me it's just a parody of a reboot.",2 This show was garbage. Absolutely awful. Don't waste your time.,1 "It's full roller coaster ride with great cinematography & Music. Story, Acting, Music everything is amazing. Must watch movie : )",9 Hdjdjdjfjfjfjfjfjjfjfhfhfhfhfhfhdhjdjdjdjdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhd. Chhhhhvhhghhgvjjffjjgfhjbffhjgfffgbcddghvcfhnnoyd. Yeah one day yorhf for a good.,10 It's just one big mess and I fell asleep. I kept wondering what was even happening??,4 "This movie is almost better than Godfather 1. Hats off to the director, actors and everyone who had anything to do with this film. It is simply wonderful, brilliant. And it seems to me that every word I write, I'm doing damage to the film.Tribute to Coppola and all players, creator of timeless classic. I would like to just say thank you. I just love this movie. Not only this part, but also the first. I think they're equivalent.Al Pacino unique, De Niro maybe even better. Dialogues excellent and historic.I want to highlight the role of Hyman Roth, without this role, the movie would not be what it is.For those who have not accessed this movie, I warmly recommend it. As for me, could have been even longer. Simply one of the best movies ever recorded.",10 "Stop making Spiderman movies. I never understood why this new movie needed to be made, so shortly after the last three with Tobey Maguire. I mean, the concept has been milked to the max, nothing could be added and indeed, this movie doesn't add anything. The story is pretty lame, the characters aren't surprising, different, or in any other way interesting and the new bad guy is just plain boring, if not at least completely superficial. Lizardman misses his arm, co th entire city needs to be transformed into lizards??? Please, that's just dumb... Sure, the special effects are nice and advanced, but that is absolutely not enough to carry this movie to any noticeable heights. I would not give this sad attempt more than a three and why the F.. it gets a sequel? I dunno...",3 "Beautifully done, I enjoyed both seasons and can't wait for season 3.",10 "So many people speak ""about Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto's astonishing transformations, and brilliant performances"", well, I disagree. These were 2 of the easiest roles to play (Especially Leto's). Any Baldwin brother could have done it (that's a dig, on both sides, yes it is). McConaughey loses a ton of weight and turns himself into a character so physically unappealing, I almost shut my TV off just because seeing him hit in Jennifer Garner was sort of gross (Not that she's a beauty by any stretch, but, well, it's a turnoff). Seeing his bare ass & testicles was less of a turnoff, and that's saying something. He forgets the old adage ""just because you CAN doesn't mean you should"". Leto has the assistance of a ""million dollar"" team of makeup artists, and the work of those people should not influence someone to vote for him for an Academy Award. His acting was over the top at times and there was nothing appealing about his character, at all. Even evil characters can be appealing! make you love them and root for them, because hey! it's a movie. Leto hinges everything on the makeup, which by the way....was laughable most of the time, and that everyone knows Hollywood loves a flamboyant homosexual... you almost can't lose. McConaughey... he gets to run through the halls of the Hospital going anywhere he wants at anytime screaming at people, yelling out every foul mouthed word he can, again NOT great acting as i see it. The character (again) NOT appealing, actually repulsive, you can't wait for him to stop, whatever it is he is doing, it's just too much. Again, you don't ever begin to ""love"" this....person. You don't like him, you don't even care for him. And it didn't help that he went from ""I want to save my life, to I am going to save all the AIDS victims in the world in about 1.5 seconds. Something was missing there. This movie gets a 2, 1 extra point because ... I actually made it to the end! If you want to see a typical Hollywood movie where they twist the the facts a bit, re-write history (Just enough), make the children smarter than the parents, the patient smarter than the Doctor, The Mexican Doctor better than the American Doctor, the nurse smarter than the WHOLE hospital, the young wiser than the old, the defendant smarter than the Judge, the creeps of the world that can pass off as circus performers smarter than the EVERYONE above them.... well..... you get the point..... then this movie is for you. PS- I watched American Hustle 3 times last month, I can't get enough of that movie and those characters!. I will never watch THIS movie ever again, and THAT is the sign of a poor movie for me.",2 "It's difficult for me to remain consistent with my opinions about movies with my reviews; on some movies, eg Unhinged, I gave great scores because ""the film understood what it was."" Now, Venom 2 certainly understands it's a comic book movie (and it's refreshing). The film's pace is lightning, brisk; zero time for exposition. You want to understand the characters more? Go watch the first film. Regardless, this movie was great to watch after a stressful day at work. Were any of the scenes particularly memorable? Not really (albeit I did find Carnage weirdly horrifying). Was it poignant? Nope. But it was fun, and did not bore me. I have to respect the effort. It was entertaining, and sometimes that's all I need.",6 "I'm generally not interested in superhero movies, but over the years have enjoyed a couple of them (first couple X-Men films and first couple Spider-Man movies from the late 90s/early 2000s era). I went into this movie wanting to like it, having heard so many great things about it, having enjoyed Downey Jr in other films, and seeing the high reviews on imdb. Ugh. Boring as hell. Bland uninstering hero, bland uninteresting villain, bland uninteresting dialogue, bland uninteresting relationships, boring predictable plot. It blows my mind seeing so many 8, 9, and 10 star ratings for this. I guess I won't bother wasting my time watching all the other ""MCU"" movies that come after this, if this is considered one of the better ones...",3 "Movie is made with already popular actor/actresses. so one can believe this would have been an easy shot, But you'll find every character has done a very different role play than you are used to watch them as earlier. Rajkumar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanya, Pearl, everyone gave their exemplary performances. all are seen 100% inside their uniquely drafted characters. Movie keeps you glued to screen with its turning corners, Even though there are multiple parallel universes stories running throughout, you never feel a disconnect. Surprisingly great music. Very easily one of the top comedy movies of indian cinema made to date, definitely even higher on the list of recent ones. Great Ending,,,",9 "Fargo is the story of Jerry Lundegaard (Macy) who hires two criminals (Bescemi and Stormare) to kidnap his wife. When blood is spilt, however, things spiral out of control. What is scarcely believable about Fargo is despite its outlandish plot, it is actually a true story. White is the predominant colour and it is initially quite dazzling. It isn't common to see quite so much on the screen. The bitter chill of the air can almost be felt but alongside this is the coziness and reassurance of the interiors. The people are the opposite, warm and fluffy on the outside but all played with an underlying menace, like they could break at any moment. The giant fictional statue of Paul Bunyon epitomises this, it is no doubt meant to be a figure of hard work and community spirit but the camera lingers on it for an uncomfortably long time until it becomes ominous. For all intents and purposes, this is a Coen Brothers re-imagining of a classic film-noir, a ""film-blanc"" even, both thematically with its humour visually with the ice. The sense of place is very strong, the accents are turned up to eleven, there is a lack of social diversity and the only minorities represented are unstable. The close sense of community gives it a polish of friendliness and safety. The performances are delivered with ham as well so despite the genuinely horrific events, they are by no means as affecting as they could be. Fargo is an odd film. It is gruesome yet friendly, bitterly cold yet somehow warm, horrific yet somehow family friendly. Though it does not quite reach the atmospheric heights of No Country For Old Men or the comedic heights of The Big Lebowski, what is perhaps most interesting about Fargo is that it would make a deliciously sadistic yet surprisingly cuddly and neat Christmas film. Hot chocolates at the ready.",9 "That was my reaction after watching 10 minutes of this movie. Without getting much into spoilers and story... Ill just give you my take. This is probably the weakest Marvel movie. Thor's story, character etc has always been powerful and uplifting. This doesnt look like a Thor movie at all. Its comedy is awful and forced. The characters dont get any scope. The action, CGI and storyline is generic. It seems like Marvel Universe is now making filler movies in between to reach the Avengers finale. What did I find positive about this? Nothing. Its not deadpool. Its not Spiderman. Its probably got Guardians of the Galaxy vibe and looks odd. Dont watch it.",3 "LOVED IT. Truly an amazing movie. A lot of people would maybe say that it's boring but to me it was super super cool, it held my attention from start to finish. Not just a movie this thing isnan experience that brings me so much joy if you go to the cinema. So many people there, dressed in pinkish clothes, feels like everyone there is happy and all of people there are unites under the idea of Barbie. The movie itself, has so many great messages to the word. I am sure a lot of little girls didn't quite understand it but they will one day. It also had so many real word/trensing things added to it. I probably liked it so much because I grew up watching old barbie movies, and now it felt like Barbie has grown with me, especially cause the topic of the movie was very real in todays world. Going in before the movie I thought it would turn out to be just ""okay"" since I saw a lot of parts from it as trailers I thought ""oh I alredy saw it all"", nahh, little did i know. Those trailers are nothing compared to this. I really reccomend watching it. But there are some parts that are ""not for kids""(ex. Some things they say, initiate...), But it's just maybe 3 times in all 114minutes of the movie.",10 "Billionaire but person unknown to the public puts together a ""team"" in order to make the world a better place. He does it by driving Ferraris and other top notch cars through somehow empty touristic Italian cities, destroying art, shooting people, playing with magnets, changing regimes in poor countries and so on. If he sounds like a complete douche it's because he acts like one. And the occasional internal dialogue makes it worse. And yeah, a lot of special effects (Michael Bay) a lot of funny profanity (Ryan Reynolds), but at every moment of this film I was seeing the heist episode from Rick and Morty and thinking how damn stupid it all is.",6 "So she had problems. What a revelation. She was a depressed paranoid schizophrenic maniac from day one. She would have committed suicide any way. So sorry that it took her so long to make up her mind. 13 episodes of 13 Reasons Why could have been done in just one episode. So sad that this TV series is loved by youngsters that simple see all this as something that will never happen to them. The truth being that very few girls ever live such an experience, and even fewer commit suicide, and even fewer make tapes to mess up the lives of their friends. So incredibly unfortunate that people will sit down and watch this garbage instead of moving on and making something of their life.",1 "The Godfather Part II, is just as good as the first film. Al Pacino was absolutely awesome in this film. His performance in this film is one of my personal favorites, and probably one of his best performances of all time. This film was so good because it continues the story of Don Michael Corleone's rise to the top, and then slowly to the bottom at the end. Plus another cool thing about the movie, is that it has several flash backs on the life of younge Vito Corleone, played by Robert DeNiro (who also gave a great performance). Again the directing, and story telling, and the acting were great in this movie. It is truly the greatest sequel of all time.",10 "Everything looks and feels B. Actors, costume, make up, lights, directing, photography etc etc. I watched The Sisters Brothers right after Bird Box and it just blew away everything about Bird Box in every possible regard. Don't waste your time.",2 "Some movies in you life are precious, and this is one among them. I am a movie lover and watch every possible movie released. Swades holds a prima-facie among the limited movie collection i have. I still remember the day when i stood outside the Audio shop in the city next to my village where i traveled over 100km just to get the first copy of the audio cassette, and guess what i grabbed the first cassette that day. Since that day my love for this movie is out of bounds, and still going strong. Believe i am not a fan of Mr.Shahrukh Khan, but after this movie i really fell in love the way he enacted the play. I never missed the release of this movie and watched it the first day. The Aftermath ,9 years later, today, i have completed my medicine degree,this movie made me change my mind to stay with my home place, My beloved parents, friends and everyone in my village. I wanted to pursue my masters in US but i am now a changed mind with pursuing the degree in here in my home land , India. Thanks Mr. Ashutosh for creating this epic master piece. I would be grateful for the rest of my life for this movie you have crafted. The characters simply have life and they are close to hearts, be it Mohan ""NRI"" Bhargava or ""Gitli"" Geeta or the Post Man ""Nivaranji"" who admires the Email as something out of the world invention, the American dream pursuing ""MelaRam"". Every one is astounding in performance, that makes this movie a special one that you would never want to forget for the rest of your life. For all my NRI cousins and friends, do watch this movie and come back buddies, there is more to pursue in here. regards",10 "I love De Niro, Pacino, Pesci and Scorsese. I love really good old age make-up, good acting, great sets, period costumes, tunes that set the mood of the era, and fine cinematography. This film contained all of these elements. What it didn't have was believability, for one. De Niro and Pacino, well into their 70s, were playing guys in their 40s to 50s. The special effects used to ""de-age"" them, and Pesci, were ridiculous. It made De Niro look like Yul Brenner from the original West World. And Pesci calling De Niro ""kid?"" Gimme a break! Okay, another issue was the very forgettable, cardboard cutout, cliched cast. Paquin walked through scenes like a zombie, Romano is a t.v. actor who belongs on t.v., Cannavale and Keitel didn't have enough screen time and everyone else, like I said, was forgettable. Thirdly, the 3 1/2 hours running time seemed longer than that. Long films are fine, if they're good, if they move along and if they are interesting. This one was slow and plodding, featuring silly, nonsensical exchanges and scenarios. There were scenes that could have easily been chopped. Heck, the director and three leads would all have to take two bathroom breaks each if they sat through this. The Irishman may very well be Scorsese, De Niro and Pacino's celebrated last hurrah, however, is it being celebrated for what it is, or for who they are?",5 "The first act was great. Second was okay, but the third descended into Hallmark movie atrocities.",5 "Frankly, one of the MOST awful movies I've watched ever! Too pretentious while lack of any sense... Especially the final episode is worth mentioning in the very regard. TOO childish. Saif and Sanjay were out of their characters beating their old drum all the way. The main female wasn't suitable for me, too. Raima Sen was OK but she wasn't given what to do here. The only actor I really liked - Sabyasachi Chakraborty. Really impressive! Rekha was looking quite nice in that PAHELI ZINDAGANI number. As for the music in general - I liked it but noticed direct resemblance of one of the melodies with EK LADKI TO DEKHA TO AISA LAGA... from 1942 LOVE STORY. Or it was done deliberately taking into account that Vidhu Vinod Chopra took his essential part in both projects. Well, that's ALL!",1 "Great action, well executed but why just such a bad script? No motivation is clear for anyone involved. No storyline makes sense or is in some way unique! It is all about action! And that gets boring after a while! I heard the director comparing it to the Bourne Trilogy! No way! Never! Sorry! Try again!",5 "I first watched this show over ten years ago when I was still a kid. Everything from the incredible world building to the amazing characters and the exciting, captivating story made me fell in love with it. Now I am in my early twenties and I still watch this masterpiece regularly. The story itself is so incredibly deep and touching that even grown-ups can't help but fall for Avatar: The Last Airbender. I am forever grateful for the creators for making this show...THANK YOU!",10 It is quite boring.Only end was interesting. All two hours I waited for the development of the film and did not wait. There was absolutely no development of events,4 "Absolutely loved this side of O'Russell. It's a cornucopia of different flavours of genres. Comedy, murder mystery, historical aspects and culture. The heartwarming friendship between the trio is hopeful and endearing. I loved the performances, especially Bale's. The cinematography, sets, and costumes were top notch. Great job at casting the characters in the film. Anya, DiNiro, Washington, and Rami Malik were an excellent choice for the film. Amazing ensemble all around. It was rollercoaster of events that kept me on the edge of my seat. These are the type of films that grab my attention and love to watch.",10 "Just finished watching Season 2. It was not like Season 1 but still you can call it a decent Season. It has some light hearted, funny and emotional moments. Specially climax was very emotional. If you are going to watch season 2 then keep your expectations low and enjoy with family.",6 The plot of this movie was well-timed & the actors done really well!,10 "This movie was absolutely great in my opinion; it might even be my favourite Marvel movie at this moment. The beginning already sets a bit of a mood for this movie. We see Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, and he is starting to get used to this world, the 21st century. He is a charming and a bit quirky guy. Especially the relationship between him and Natasha Romanoff, aka the Black Widow, is absolutely amazing! She is a strong female character and that is so great to see in a superhero movie. The movie soon turns into a conspiracy spy movie esque setting, we see old characters returning. Basically: S**t just goes down. At some point there was a bit too much action in my opinion. Not overwhelmingly much so as it distracts you, but still, a teensy bit too much. The soundtrack is great though, the characters are amazing; it is just a pleasure to watch it. No spoilers here, so just go and watch it.",10 "What a snooze fest.... No plot, no character developments, no nothing... Makes me wonder what the whole point is? The repetitive and senseless killing kind of worked better than counting sheep though. Are the ratings seriously legit? Would highly recommend to insomnia sufferers.",2 "A whole lotta shootin' goin' on. Our matrix boy must have killed at least a hundred at point blank range. And the only trouble he has along the way is the inconvenience of switching out clips. And if he happens to run out of ammo, well, naturally he can always grab some dead guy's weapon. At first, I liked this one move where Johnny holds one of his opponents by the shirt collar and shoots two or three others at the same time. Almost as an afterthought, he finally does a headshot to the guy he had been holding. The first time around, I thought to myself, ""Whoa - that was tricky."", but then he did it again. And for the entirety of the series, he repeats this performance at least once in every scrum. At the end of this hundred man murder adventure, I was left with one final question, viz., ""Why did I watch this?""",2 "I never saw it when it came out and probably everybody who wants to see has seen it. But I'll add my two cents anyhow. It is an ok movie. A little disjointed. It feels like 2 or 3 episodes of a TV series cobbled together to form a full motion picture. The acting is fine (nothing spectacular). The production value is very high as you would expect. If you are bored one day and don't have anything to do it is worth a watch.",5 "The script was pretty good, Most of the cast is bad and they're pronunciation of Russian is terrible. The Direction wasn't the best either and if i would've to rate to movie by Direction, Writing and Cast it will be: 2,4,2.",8 It's starts off okay but nothing really happens. There's a lot of interesting subject matter but they somehow make it so uninteresting. One maybe two things happen to develop the plot per episode. You could miss 90% of it. Bottom line it's a snooze fest,5 "The storyline is similar to bollywood film - Aashiqui 2. The songs are great",5 "The most emotional thing was realising this was the last time Chadwin Boseman would be voicing the Black Panther. The series layer fun ideas but some episodes fall short. They are fun and interesting and yet, something feels like it is missing. There is comedy and lots of action. And the finally was beautiful and fun to watch. It does leave alot of questions unanswered. I wonder if these timelines have anything to do with the Ending of Loki.",6 "Sorry Marvel fans but this is 100% no more than a money maker! I watched this when it was first released but apparently I was so unimpressed that I forgot about it completely! Now, having made the mistake of watching it again I feel the need to make the statement: it is just awful! There is no real story, just the 'convoluted regurgitated, how can we modify this to make this marginally sensible' sort of approach. The acting is cardboard, frankly I wish someone would melt Ironman down and make a nice saucepan out of him, then take Steve Rogers and shove the shield up his.. enough, yes, I was deeply, deeply disappointed with this movie. The ONLY saving grace for this was as always, the special effects. Ironically because I was so disappointed with the movie I found myself trying to figure out just how much acting the actors actually do? I believe that 75% of all character scenes are actually CGI, therefore, these 'actors' (cardboard) are getting paid heaps of money for doing less and less! Of course that thought process probably didn't help with my overall opinion of the movie! I will mention that part of the reason I watched this again was because I lost the link for Infinity Wars and Endgame, so I needed to review this to refresh my memory, sadly! I say sadly because I think Infinity Wars should be called ""Marvel the Quest for even more cash' and Endgame; 'Marvel the we want all the cash you have left from our previous mugging sessions'. I wasn't a comic book kid so perhaps I shouldn't have even watched these movies, believe me, I wish I hadn't because they are long and I could have been doing something that created memories worth having in the time I wasted on these really awful, pointless and terribly acted excursions into nothingness. One final comment; Benedict, please leave this clan of losers before you, whom are probably THE only actor worthy of a future from these terrible movies, become labeled as a 'comic book' character and lose ALL credibility as a real actor. Comic book fans; you'll probably love this drivel.",1 "I like the cast (except Jude Law) and cinematography. The script is not perfect but with good insights on how CDC and generally bureaucracy works. What is lacking in the movie is the movie magic and direction. Very typical movie for Soderbergh - very cold, schematic, uncharismatic and pretentious. Same with all his films starting with Sex, lies and videotape.",4 "Fargo (1996) has a simple opening - a car driving on a snowy day. Carter Burwells music in the background starts soft, yet sad - we know that this is the start of something tragic. As the car grows closer, the music grows louder, and we understand the scale of the tragedy about to occur - it is all about to go down, and it won't be good. This is one of many astounding scenes that comprise this movie. I can not express my intense love for Fargo enough. This movie is just sheer brilliance. It manages to be so much at once - tragic, hilarious, dark, gritty, touching, sad, tense. Yet the tone feels consistent throughout the movie. What makes it even more unique is its separation from heist movies - it just keeps topping itself. We've all seen movies where heists don't go according to plan - Dog Day Afternoon (1975), Reservoir Dogs (1993). But what Fargo does is it doesn't stop at one error, no - it just keeps going. Things just keep going wrong to the point where you, the viewer, believe that it just can't get worse. But then, of course, it does. Each character is unique and perfectly cast. The movie is known for Frances McDormands performance as Marge - a friendly, yet good cop. However, I also think that both Steve Buscemi's portrayal as Carl Showalter and Peter Stormares portrayal of Gaear Grimsrud are fantastic. The same applies to William H. Macys portrayal of Jerry Lundengaard. As I said, each character is unique and fleshed out, separate from the rest. There is so much brilliance in Fargo to be loved. The Coen brothers prove themselves as masterful filmmakers once again with this movie. If you have not seen it, I could not recommend it more.",10 "As someone who played witcher games and readed the novels, I can only say that they ruined the novels with this lousy story and these bad actors. My rate for this trash 3/10.",3 "This was an output from Kenneth Branagh - and it was an utter failure. Even though some of my favorite actors appears in leading roles in this movie, it just can't raise the bar of quality. The movie is so utterly void and lost in the act of trying to spin a story around the supposedly love connection between thor and ""the mortal girl"". Where were all the details from the viking mythology? Even Sleipner, odins horse, missed several legs - and if it had its 8 legs, it was not even properly portraited. I can't recommend this movie. Kenneth Bragnagh should go Broadway and stay there.",2 "From others' comments, folks either loved the movie or hated it. I wonder if there is a generational gap. I am 70 and my wife is 66, and we go to a lot of movies. When we were watching it, younger people around us were roaring with laughter at jokes that did not seem funny to us. We couldn't wait for the movie to end. Our daughter and her partner were with us and felt similarly. They are in their mid-30s, and older than the average person who was in the theater. I agree with other comments that the acting was not very good. The sex scenes were hardly a turn-on, but with due respect were probably meant more to be comical. These scenes came across to me as quite flat. Next time I see an IMDb review of a movie with an 8.0 rating, I will definitely read the detailed reviewer's comments before going, which is what we exactly did before seeing iron man this evening.",2 "I guess I must be too shallow to understand the appeal of a film that appears to be the work of college student fulfilling a film class assignment. I understand it took around 28 days to film this movie, my question is, why did it take so long? My belief is that the Coppola name has such influence among Hollywood types that any garbage produced by his offspring will not be judged with the same critical measure as the work of others. I am disappointed that I didn't/don't see the art in this film, but I am more disappointed in knowing I purchased this blasted DVD based on the praises of film critics, they did it to me with ""About Schmidt"" and, shame on me, they did it to me again. Poor Sofia, she isn't any better at directing than she is at acting.",1 "Criminally low rating, balances the life of a guy who just want to be happy, to a hero that want to save everyone,it's just amazing, CGI super good for the year, a very good script, a good villain, and the perfect Peter Parker, a guy that wants to be happy, but knows that with a great power, comes a great responsibility",10 "Superheroes who are baddies and get up to all sorts kept in check by a group of lowly misfit normal humans: love the idea and it works well. The superhero characters are also very well worked on, and it seems like you've known them forever despite being created specifically for this series. Well worth the watch if u like sup stuff!",8 "This was slightly disappointing as a whodunit, but still passable fun. The one thing I like about this movie is the fact, it shows that you can have friends with nothing in common but each other. That odd-ball group in turn makes for great acting as people play off each other in this very interesting film. The script juggles lots of characters well and while it has lulls of slow pacing and exposition in the middle it makes up for it by being fun. Nicely filmed and directed, I'm hoping for more Knives out and it's great detective. But the storyline should involve some less breaking art and making us think along.",3 "Story is interesting and (for me at least) sheds light on a lesser known part of the Apartheid movement. Movie utilized beautiful noir style lighting and interesting shot choices. The pacing was great and the tension build up kept me on the edge of my seat. No long dialogues, no over acting, but a simple plain witty prison break film. Watch the trailer and learn nothing more before watching, enjoy the film for what it is and not what you presume it should be.",7 "I found this movie nice still not that deep and special as expected. When I see the average results of this movie I really don't understand how it has such a high votes. After having watched it one time I have the feeling that either the long dialogs, the funny scenes, the story line, the sport played in the movie and more much be better understood and appreciated IF I was Indian because I didn't understand it totally and didn't like it that much after all. For me it's the kind of movie I'd watch once and never watch it again. Still the history is nice, the songs aren't that much ""special"" yet the actors are good and that's maybe enough to make it appreciated by 84% of people on line. Something strange little bit annoying me: why is Shahrukh Khan smoothing that much from the beginning until the end of the movie? ;-) My result: 7/10 which isn't that much bad yet it could be better :)",7 "This is the only Batman movie where the villains are not just complete losers but are also completely pointless. How can even begin to compare a mostly non-existent Scarecrow to the Joker in the first movie? The first half was pretty decent if not extremely unrealistic and highly questionable. At the end, there are too many things thrown together, making little sense. Its all one big bloody mess. There is no real plot in this movie. Bruce Wayne's character was completely ruined by bad acting not to mention ridiculous scenes. As batman, he did little fighting and comes out as a complete idiot. In one scene where Katie Holme's character pepper sprays someone, Batman is seen molesting...er...fighting in the background. It really does look like molestation. The second half of this movie is atrocious and total crap. The sets used are also crap.",3 "Let's not even touch propagandistic nature and logical inconsistencies like prima living in a cheap apartment and also going stealth mode despite being widely-known. I can bear that. How would american filmmakers know that? The same goes for costumes and general representation of Russia. I was really waiting for someone to say a word about Soviets. Didn't happen, sadly Except for the final twist, a plot was predictable and cliche. When you start hoping the main hero will do something that makes you score a film higher than 5 she goes all back to primitive and leaves you thinking about such a beauty held down by the blemished script. I did really enjoy acting of Jennifer Lawrence. It felt authentic enough for me as a Russian. Really liked Matthias Schoenaerts, who was so stereotypically russian I couldn't look at him without smiling Too long, too pretentious and too ready to mark who is a bad guy, who is right, and how to live",3 "REVIEW (Non-Spoiler): Captain America: Civil War is an extra-ordinary feature film that consistently balances all the characters in the film. Every character has a shining moment and the right amount of screen-time. The actors have done a splendid job but few of them had outstanding performances like Robert Downey Jr. as Iron-Man/ Tony Stark, Tom Holland as Spider-Man/ Peter Parker and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther/ T'Challa. The directors (Russo brothers) have delivered a thriller/drama superhero movie with such an intricate and well- written story, the introduction of new characters has been handled smoothly and doesn't feel forced. Marvel has always been prominent for it's action sequences and it delivers again with Civil War in both the second act and third act fight. The airport fight sequence is one of the best choreographed battle I've seen on a cinema screen and the third act fight is simply outstanding. It is justified, raw, emotional and full of wow moments. This movie doesn't have black and white characters, the audience gets to see both sides and also faces a tremendous difficulty in choosing a side. Both Captain America and Iron Man have logically sound reasons and the right motivation to fight each other. The villains of the MCU have been generally regarded as weak, Daniel Bruhl as Baron Zemo is no exception. The character's development could've been better, there were few areas that could be explored for this character but nevertheless he does a good job. The visual effects are well done but weak in certain scenes. These are some of the minor flaws in this movie. There are incredible twists and turns in this film. On a final note, this film has consistent story- telling, right doses of action and neatly placed humor. It is arguably one of the best Marvel movies and gets better with every viewing.",10 "As a new fan to this show but also completely unaware of the books... it's extremely entertaining mix of magical, fantasy and sexiness in the storytelling. The beautiful background scenery adds to making it a pleasure to indulge. Both leads are hot together. It's a win win.",10 "It's one of these series that lie to you. It starts very promising, with a serious topic, realistic characters and beautiful shots. And then by the fourth episode you realise that it's been 'based on books'. The approx. 30 years old professor becomes damsel in distress that falls at (almost) first sight in love with a vampire and totally forgets her own identity. And then there are few extremely awkward scenes in the ruins that were so painfully lifted up from the Twilight's fanfic written by a 12-year old. All in all our heroine after leaving Oxford transforms from being 30 to15. The true Fountain of Youth. The only light side of this disaster is that I can feel that they respected the book's author. In episode 6 I just can see copy-paste at every scene. 6 episodes in, and I have not an inkling of an idea what the daemons are. And after scenes with Agatha and Sophie (?) I feel that the author has no idea either. Not even starting with this abstract scene where they teleport between cuts (scenes) when talking. And to be fair I couldn't really accept Matthew Goode as an 'Irresistibly smoking hot male lead'. Personal preferences, but still...",2 "I cant stand it when movies have no resolution, I also thought they should have started with maybe the crime this is all focused on. There are some real good performances in this movie, perhaps the biggest one is Peter Dinklage (As usual). McDormand is a woman of convictions in this movie so all in all a good movie but I hate the end.",4 "In an attempt to make a great movie about the reasonable, kind, eternal, the authors of Forrest Gump depicted something vague, absolutely unrealistic, grotesque. The most important thing I don't like about people is hypocrisy. It's scary to mention the main fact in the script that makes this movie iconic. It's the fact that the main character is weak-minded. Imagine the same film, but the main character is healthy, he is just healthy and incredibly successful, he cuts the truth, and his eccentric behavior is explained by his character traits and craving for a healthy lifestyle. A completely different film is obtained by the reaction of people to it, although the essence is the same primitive. Playing on the feelings of ordinary people. Who doesn't like a movie where the hero is so positive, successful, and even weak-minded? That's right, everyone should like such a film, and it doesn't matter at all that the picture has little to do with reality, that it is superficial and simple, that the truths revealed in it are so simple, obvious and known. You'd be ashamed to say you didn't like a movie where the protagonist is blissful.",1 "It is very well thought most of the time, it shows problems that technology might bring in a very original way but it seems on the verge of technofobia...which I do not agree with.Sometimes it is not clear what it wants to say, there is no meaning to derive...or the problem, practical or ethical , is so far fetched that it doesn't feel realistic!!!",6 "This isn't a bad movie, and if it were maybe a hour shorter it would have been a lot easier to watch. It's just SO long, and none of the excessive run time was spent making the characters sympathetic in anyway. I couldn't bring myself to care about any of them, and it didn't really seem like must was at stake. Red Sparrow isn't the spy-thriller the trailers make it out to be and that's not an entirely bad thing. It's an almost painfully realistic spy movie. This isn't James Bond or Atomic Blonde, and most of the actual spying is portrayed as more political in nature. I do think that the often graphic violence and sex will definitely put off some viewers, but other than being kind of uncomfortable to sit through, most of these scenes were pretty bland and too long.",4 "This is by far not the perfect movie, but I enjoyed it more than Oppenheimer, which I was not able to finish. This movie is definitely head above a lot of other media in terms of attention to little details and the costumes. Loved this side of it, and I remember seeing lots of YouTube videos that went over all the details and how they are connected to real life or to other media. It also has a really good pacing, and overall feels more like an adult fairytale. Which may not be something for everyone, obviously. I remember when it just came out a lot of people were praising the show for how females are portrayed, and bashed it for how males are portrayed. And there were some who did the reverse. I would say that both sides are correct. Not to go too much into details, patriarchy is depicted as the evil of the world, and matriarchy is the only way to save it. This is not only not true, but it is also shallow, and ignoring real examples of matriarchic rule. At the same time, the movie does touch upon real issues that men face in real life, like the need to fight for even a slither of attention. This is good, but it gets kind of brushed off at the end, almost as if it did not matter, that that's what brought about Kendome. ""Kenough"" shirt is a good message, but it gets overpowered by the main message, that it is enough for women to just be ordinary. Which is also a good message, but... The movie just forgot that in reality you need equality. You need both sides to be present and finding common ground. It is ok to be ordinary for both sides, and both sides can do amazing things. To be honest, for more than first half of the movie, I thought that would be the final message, but in the end it was muddied by ""women are better"", which felt disingenuous and worsened overall experience. The final scene, though did even more damage, but maybe I just did not get it, since I am a guy. Either way, it was more or less an enjoyable experience. Overhyped? Probably yes. Worth a watch? Also, probably yes, if you temper your expectations.",7 Love it!!!!!! Don't believe the stupid reviews....,10 "I personally liked the show, which I wrote earlier was exactly the style I wanted to watch. It met most of my expectations. Almost all of the sword fighting scenes are at a high level. Henry Cavill, the lead actor, is well chosen for this job. I liked the music of the series, it was very suitable for the movie. I can say that a few actors are insufficient, there were places that I did not fully understand in the scenario, so there were places that I did not fully understand. In this series, there were people waiting for the Game of Thorons air, and those who watched it wrong make it wrong. GoT - almost never. I expect the new season to be released soon.",7 "In this day and age with society overall becoming more and more polarized and our leaders around the world doing nothing to improve dialogue, it seems that people became broken records. Now everything in the movies and TV shows is perceived as preachy, not everything is a conspiracy, people need to consider that movies and TV shows at its core, and specially the good ones, are about sharing perspectives and allow the audience, if their minds are opened to it, to acknowledge all sides of the stories. So let's start with the actual review, Greta Gerwig seems to have found an actual legitimate story for the type of message she delivered, contrary to most criticism I didn't find the movie preachy or biased at all, I actually felt it was incredibly balanced and the message made sense considering the plot. Sometimes I do agree that these (for some reason) delicate social topics tend to be pushed into films because a lot of studio directors want to align with trends to make a few more dollars, but in this particular film I didn't felt that at all! It's a fictional story that has the ability to tell a bit of historical context of one of the most (if not the most) famous dolls in the world and how it impacted the world culture and how it actually affected women's image with its controversial decisions. The other aspect of this fictional story is providing perspective, of how women are perceived and treated in our society, the rooted systemic issues we tend to ignore AND with the Barbie plot device provide some fun and interesting analogy of how society would be if it was the other way around and women were the ones holding most power. But again there's no hidden dark meaning, it's just a woman's perspective and if you think about it, even though reality change a lot considering the country where you live, it's not that ridiculous, the story is ultimately about equality and its a fun innocent approach to it. Margot Robbie is insanely talented and its amazing to watch her portray this role, for once I am hoping that we keep the dialogue opened and stop inventing false theories .",9 This movie is awesome. From acting to the storyline everything is so real that you can't just take your eyes off the screen for once.,10 "In all, not very engaging as a story. The idea of journey as blindfolded with two small blindfolded children is not compelling or thriller; it's anxiety-producing. Especially since the protagonist (Bullock) is basically unlikable in this role. The whole premise is preposterous: traveling in a boat blindfolded, driving a car blind, etc. Also, there's an element of child abuse with ""boy"" and ""girl"" who've spent their little lives with the Bullock character as non-entities, until the ending in which there is supposed to be some sort of validation of their presence. I realize this is based on the book, which came out before A Quiet Place, but the similarities are undeniable, and one can't help but compare the two films. There were inadequacies in A Quiet Place as well, but it was a much more compelling film than Bird Box.",1 "It's a good movie so far unless they create a sequel of this story line. The excitement of this film is not consistent. Let say the first and middle part of it is very ecstatic but the last part I think is kind of emotional and left me hanging but that's the great part of commercial movies they left the viewers crave for more. Also the credit part after you watch it, you will definitely say ""I'll be waiting for more"". Another positive remarks on this movie is, it has a great pick for casting especially for the newcomers; the new spidey, Tom Holland, will be a great Spider-man as what he showed in this movie. I'm a bit anxious on his stand-alone movie. And good line-up of heroes. Overall a good movie but not that great.",8 "Ludo is a very welcome movie in diwali season especially after the massive disappointment that laxmii was. It's a well written movie with great acting all actors were amazing but male leads did a tremendous job especially Abhishek,rajkumar rao (Dance moves to die for), Pankaj and Aditya. There is some satire related to Hinduism in movie for comedic effect it may offend some people (didn't offend me) but nothing major. It's not a masterpiece but it's entertaining and guaranteed to get some good laughs out of you.",8 "I did not have high expectations for this series, given recent disappointments with some recent Netflix originals. This show surprised me in so many ways. I was absolutely stunned at how well Henry nailed one of my favourite characters. I can only hope that the inevitable second season lives up to this one.",9 "Don't get me wrong this is a very good action movie. The action scenes are strong and funny, loved seeing Spiderman in action with the Avengers. Unfortunately the plot suffers from having to be incredibly contrived and forces our favorites heroes to be psychotically stupid in order to get the to Avengers vs Avengers that it wanted to get to. In some way this is Batman vs Superman the good edition. Just as stupid and contrived, but much better action and punchlines. Though if you just want a movie with good action, go ahead, you will love this movie.",5 The start is good. The writer draws you in the with a good back ground story and pulls at your heart. The next hour and half takes on a roller coaster of emotions. But never really grips you or keeps your attention. The last hour of the film I was waiting for an ending that was weak and a little predictable: My advice go and watch something else!:,3 "Gonna keep it very simple. The Lead role was given to an unlikable actress. She is not likable and it tarnishes the show. Great acting everywhere, even her, but she is lacking something and her portrayal is off. Something in her acting makes her character annoying.",5 "As much as I would like to say The Matrix is movie that I can suggest to all of you, I can't. Now, if you are only into special effect and action sequences that defy all laws of gravity, then disregard everything I am about to say. On the other hand, if you are interested in an good all around film, keep looking. This film wishes it was half as good as the extremely underrated Dark City. This film wishes it were deep, hence all of the not too subtle reference to Alice in Wonderland. This film wishes it had clever writers who did not come off as stealing every mediocre idea from much better sci-fi flicks. Finally, (and most of all) this film wishes that Keanu Reeves could act his way out of a paper bag. Unfortunately, none of these wishes came true and The Matrix is a third-rate sci-fi film with extra-ordinary special effects. It just goes to show that style can not substitute for substance.",5 "I had only seen a little bit of The Boys secondhand so I had little idea of what to expect. But once I started, the story and characters were so engaging that I went through the available episodes all at once and was ready and waiting for more. It's very violent and a bit shocking at times but I suppose most people who have the context of the other show will know what to expect. It's also quite heartbreaking seeing how much pain these characters are in and the systems that are set up against them. There is a mystery at the heart of the story in 'the woods' and what is happening there, which is engaging and you find yourself eager to see the next installment to find out more.",8 "I tried to watch this on three different occasions, it's so boring. Pretty...yes, i guess. The story....nonsensical. The movie would have been better served with 60 mins left on the cutting room floor. The other issue, the acting is terrible. I know the it's basically animated, the the voice acting is way over the top. Where the Avatar 1 introduced us to a new world, and new cultures, the new Avatar does nothing to add to the world. Swap trees for water and you basically have a longer version of the original. In all, this movie should not have been made. If they there are more coming....hide now.",3 "I fell in love with this show and have binged Seasons 1 & 2 several times, so I was excited for the much anticipated Season 3. It starts strong, but there are so many storylines and characters that the essence of The Witcher and Geralt's story arc gets very muddied. It feels like it becomes about everyone else's story but his. Geralt feels like an aside and it is too the shows detriment. Very little ""Witchering"" takes place at all. By the end I felt like the writers had decided to take the show in a totally different direction which, unfortunately, no longer included Geralt at its core. It would be wonderful to see a return to the simplicity and grit offered in the first season. More monster hunting and less Elven politics. Henry Cavill will be missed desperately, but I understand why he's chosen to leave.",5 "Had so much more potential. This script was disastrous and felt like what you see in a disappointing sequel. Although Margot Robbie is a perfect cast and she does her job well, it's not enough to carry this movie alone. Ryan Gosling was the bright positive and main source of entertainment, especially during the first half of the film. Not the worst movie of the year but not the best of it's release week either. Overall feeling is Gerwig tried a little too hard with the story and ended up missing the point. I am still left with questions of objectives by certain story arcs. Ultimately they tried to be a little too deep, muddying the water and losing the crowd along the way.",5 "I went into this movie with very high expectations. Everything I had heard about this movie from friends was very positive. The general consensus with this film is that it is very good. Devastating. Emotional. Beautiful. To me it feels like I watched a completely different film than the one others described. I found this movie extremely lacking in basically every aspect except the acting. It's campy, and not in a good way. The aesthetic choices can be summarized as ""mid 2000s digital slag"". Nothing about this movie impressed or moved me in any meaningful way. I was simply glad it ended. Like I said, the acting was good, but Jim Carrey was the wrong man for the role. It did not capture me. It made me cringe. Perhaps it would be better on rewatches, but nothing in this film makes me want to watch it again. ""Goofy"" is probably the most apt word I can use to describe it. Average.",5 "Big production for the crews and scenes. Storyline is simple. Didn't have the ""wow"" moment for me.",7 "Venom is a movie that should've been R-Rated, the character on the comic books is a bloody monster, a menacing villain and sometimes an anti-hero, but just sometimes, and even in those times, he keeps his brutality and ferocity. Here, in this movie, the violence has been softened, so what is left to the screenplay are some ""Marvel kind jokes"". Somehow, one or another are good, but they're not enough to fullfil the plot. Having a Venom without the Spider-Man It's a bad idea, but It can be sustainable, unfortunately It's not the case here. Even having good acting scenes with Hardy and Michelle, the storytelling is too goofy and childish, the sensation is that you're watching a comedy movie. The action is cool and the photography is okay. In summary, It's a good movie to watch when you're bored or looking to anything to watch.",5 "I'll be brief: the characters have zero, well, character, the movie is full of plot holes, the twists are not mind-blowing but mind-numbing and irritating, and to top it all off, the fight scenes are poorly shot. It's pretentious and it fails: it has multiple plot lines of great potential, but none of them go full circle, leaving so much hanging in the air. If 2.5 hours is not enough, you might consider changing your plan. I have to have at least 10 lines for the review to be accepted, but this film really does not merit so much text or thought. Nolan's Batman magic is gone and this movie is completely unnecessary - from an artistic point of view, of course. From the money perspective, it makes perfect sense. Too bad it won't be a flop.",5 "A bloated, meandering tale. This movie is a big waste of talent and money. Oh and my time...",5 Yes it look a long time to watch this and this is one of its kind movie in Bollywood .Easily one of the greatest thrillers ever made in Bollywood.. Keeps you guessing every moment. Sriram Raghavan has been doing this long before he made Andhadhun.. The sound effets and other technical aspects are amazing . The only drawback is the performance of Neil as the movie rests a lot on him and he could bring alive the character that much. Apart from that it's a full marks to every department in the movie.,8 "Directed by Steven Spielberg. Starring Tye Sheridan, Ben Mendelsohn, Olivia Cooke, Mark Rylance, Simon Pegg, Lena Waithe, Hannah John-Kamen, Philip Zhao, Win Morisaki, Ralph Ineson, Susan Lynch, (voice) T.J. Miller. (PG-13) Shortly after the creator (Rylance) of a massive--and massively popular--virtual reality program dies, his avatar announces a contest of sorts involving clues, keys, and a literal Easter egg, where the victor can claim full ownership of the fantasy world. Enter teenage Sheridan, who teams up with several other players to uncover the secrets before ruthless businessman Mendelsohn can. Clumsy storyline full of plot-holes and confusing ""rules"" populated by unexciting, ill-defined characters with a series of third act climaxes that drag on and on, yet its major failure is in the nearly non-stop parade of cluttered, garish digital effects, a stupefying assault on the eyes (and brain, trying to process all the soupy information). It's hard to complain that it all looks so flagrantly phony--it's not a real world with real people in it, after all--but the film is set a few decades in the future, so why are the graphics so outdated even by current PC/console standards? Exists solely as a pellet feeder for nostalgia and pop culture references (ooh, there's the time-traveling DeLorean...hey, I've played ""Halo""...oh, did you spot the Gremlins?), but rarely with any context or substance to warrant interest. One can find the occasional appreciable moment (a few wry lines from Miller, the surprising use of the Chucky doll as a weapon, etc.), but sorting through the chaotic farrago to find them isn't really worth the taxing effort. 31/100",3 "It's after Avengers: Endgame. Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) turns down the shield but instead of retiring it, the authorities make American hero soldier John Walker (Wyatt Russell) the new Captain America. Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) can't understand why Falcon turned down the job. Meanwhile, the blip returnees are being marginalized by the world due to legalities and resource limitations. Karli Morgenthau leads a group of revolutionaries called Flag Smashers. Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) is hiding in the underworld of Madripoor. This is a six episode Marvel TV show and probably a limited series. It's meant to lead to a new Captain America movie with Sam Wilson. It's also doing a lot of other things and they are a mixed bag. First, this is about a black man taking over the symbol of American exceptionalism. It hits on that present-day issue hard. I do wonder if it could turn off some people who like the color red. I also do wonder if Falcon is walking that line correctly. In the end, the writers are obviously trying very hard with his climatic monologue. That speech goes on too long. It needs a rewrite and cut in half. What really hits home more is the museum exhibit of Isaiah Bradley. The other story lines are just as ripped from the headlines. John Walker is the cop who goes too far. Karli is some sort of Antifa. It's all a maelstrom of modern day politics. I can see this being off-putting but comic books have often tackled the politics of its days. There are undeniable problems with this show. I don't think Sharon Carter works in this role. There may be some rewriting going on and she struggles to go along the journey. Emily VanCamp is fine as Sharon but not the Sharon doing this premise. She is trying to be Hayley Atwell in Peggy Carter but that's not her. The other problem is Karli and her story. Her character needs help introducing her side and her people. The show simply doesn't have the time to fill out her story. The show is about six hours or about three Marvel movies. Even with that space, this show feels jammed together at times especially when a quarter is filled with cinematic action scenes. I have to think that the COVID disruption also caused some of the problems. At the end of the day, it does the main things well. Falcon and Winter Soldier are a good pairing. Falcon's journey to become Captain America is terrific and is given real world meaning.",7 "I'm sure that many have commented on this, but I haven't heard any discussion of this point. When the Buscemi character and his cohort were pulled over outside of Brainard (with Mrs.Lundegaard tied up in the back seat), was it the suspicion of bribe (Money was protruding out of his wallet when he presented his license and registration) that caused the trooper to ask Buscemi to ""step out of the car""? Or was there something else? Also, the younger Lundegaard had a poster of a master accordion player on the inside of his doorway. Is accordion music a popular genre for the youth in Minnesota? or was a humorous take on the quaintness of the region?",9 "After seeing the first one, we had high hopes for yet another masterful murder mystery movie. Especially with the james bond actor. But my oh my.... I have no words to describe this utter garbage piece of.... tormenting movie. I fell asleep twice, but my brother woke me up and passed me the candy and shish kebab so i can wake up. But unfortunately it only lasted for 20 minutes, so i fell asleep again and my brother didint have more snacks. I was frequently asking my brother if he clicked the right movie, especially in the beginning where i had absolutely no idea what was going on. Over the top jokes and boring humor made me cringe so hard. Please do me a favor and dont waste 2 hours of your life watching this movie, watch absolutely anything else rather than this.",1 Started out with some extremely funny moment. But everyone's accent kept switching from English to German to Australia to kiwi. It wasn't well done. Then took a turn after the boy discovers the girl and just lacked any substance to the script. Really confused how this is getting as many awards as it is. Not a horrible film but far from a masterpiece like everyone is describing,2 "Some nice fight scenes and very good animation aren't enough to salvage a bland cast and a story that is all over the place. It's so rushed it feels like it started at episode 63. This should be my kind of anime, but I just can't get into it. I think mostly the problem is adapting an almost 100 chapters in a 13 episode anime, if you like some cool animation and fights scenes this is for you. I wanna recommend the manwa but if you read the manwa it's very slow paced, if you watch the anime it's very fast paced, so it's kinda complicated, I guess it depends your preference.",5 After relying on the imdb rating of 8.1 we saw the movie. Very disappointing. Poor acting and even poorer story line. The plot of the movie was how much yelling and how many f and n words they could yell per minute. Other than that nothing.,2 "Although an average film, ""Batman Begins"" had a dark, brooding quality and got off to an interesting start about the origins of the caped crusader before turning dreary. Unfortunately, this followup takes up right where the previous one left off - still dark but also dreary and even sillier. The script is atrocious and the plot line involving Two-Face is unbelievably lame. The most interesting thing in this tiresome film is the mesmerizing farewell performance from Ledger. He is simply fun to watch as the Joker. All the other actors look bored, a result of Nolan's dull direction. At a length of two and a half hours, it seriously overstays its welcome. Time to make ""Batman Ends.""",4 "Why on earth would this Splash deconstruction win an Oscar? I didn't like, not understand this movie.",2 "After the Avengers Endgame, this title just seemed very rushed and pointless, no real story, and very weak characters. Love Spiderman movies and all of this series I have enjoyed except this one, like Black Panther this is way over reated. SHAME!!!",3 "The only real thing that kept me watching is knowing it was based on real events. Acting was above average other than that not much to say.... middle of the road 6.1",6 "Having heard all the rave reviews this was getting thought i would give it a go,and yes is very enjoyable if not imo totally original.to me it's a modern Buffy where the superhero fights the bad guy/guys/monster with the usual group of freinds around having own problems.so far have watched 3 series and now watching series 4.",8 "While I am no prude, the film was pretty much ruined for me by the use of the F word every other sentence. Gratutious use of the word has ruined many a film making effort, this is one more example. Seems every other word was this profanity. Grow up film makers, you can have an honest, action packed film without cussing a blue streak evert 3 minutes.",5 "I watched the original but it won't be the same regardless of whether or not the characters have the same names. I think it was a great binge worthy series that the whole family can watch. I didn't have to worry about bad words, or scary scenes while children were watching. I don't want to say it was simple but it wasn't like the other SciFi series on Netflix where you have to constantly think and look for Easter eggs. The flashbacks were hard but I'm sure if we were watching one episode at a time and was able to rewatch it before watching it the next week, we would figure everything out just fine. I'm hoping another season will be on order. Kids were talking about the show all day today and we even turned it on again. No cell phones were in use. That's all I care about.",9 Am I missing something here? Season 1 was exceptional but season 2 has been a complete drag. Am trying so hard to force myself to finish it.,7 "As a DC and Marvel fan, I've seen a lot of superhero movies and tv shows, most of which have the same basic plot line: hero discovers powers, learns to control them, saves the world. Although still a bit predictable, this show has some of the most interesting characters that I've seen in a long time. In my opinion, the characters alone are worth the 10 episode binge. It also has an amazing soundtrack (I found myself singing along during certain scenes) and the overall style of the show is different (in a good way!) as well.",9 "This movie is inspiring can learn lot from it like how people make differentiation & in last it impacts humanity. How people together are more powerful. I hope you get my point only after watching this brilliant movie. Direction & the Sharukh khan acted is Oscar level! I even cried during many scenes. It is a family movie & worth watching every single minute. I want to see more movies like this in 2023 onwards but still this. There are many scenes where you will find how people go through the problems & still try to manage on the side, we are having simple life but still complicating by seeing other people flashy lifestyle. You will also learn about relationship in this movie. Thanks.",10 A great chapter full of dark revelations and increasing secrets m.,10 "The cinematography, the acting are excellent, however you cannot escape the fact that the storyline is unbelievably lame. As I write this the films rating is over 9, so maybe this is just me (and my wife). I won't ""spoil"" the film (if that is possible) by revealing the ""storyline"" but lets just say its a film that you should wait to come on TV, unless you are a Marvel fan .... in which case you'll probably be one of the ones voting the film to 9/10 and you'll obviously love it.",2 "Suffering hype fatigue, over a year of industry talk about this movie in pre release. It takes away from viewing the movie. In the end it's just more of the same computer generated over the top smash and bash that appeals to 12 year olds or those that are stuck at that age. The first avengers was original. But now what Hollywood movie makers due best, take an original movie concept to cash in until death in franchising occurs. Sorry about raining on your Hollywood comic book Heroes block borer. But the only hero I can see is someone to say enough comic book sequels. They've become boring and predictable recycles. I spent more time thinking about how uncomfortable the theater seat was than being interested in the things blowing up in the movie. Seems Hollywood is addicted to CGI for making movies that shouldn't be made. If they keep going this way they could probably try selling a film of things just blowing up, no story, plot or actors acting just things blowing up.",2 "To start people who have rated this less than 8 have obviously no idea on movies at all especially how bad sequels usually are. This on the other hand was absolutely brilliant the best sequel I've ever seen bar the lord of the rings plus the hobbit it had a bit of everything, and to bring back Bucky was a stroke of genius. The story line although yes i knew straight away Redford's charchter was gonna be the bad guy in the end there was twists in the film that no one bar the people who worked on the movie would have known about which made it gripping viewing and one of the best films since the avengers hit the screens a couple years back. Cant wait for the 3rd captain America this could be a franchise of films heading into 8 or maybe the 10's of films and most probably be worth watching the more marvel keep crossing there charchters with each other the better it will get go watch it people 100% worth every penny",10 Best movie ever totally emotional sentiments are there. You can't speak a word after watching this movie .It really touches your heart . Emotional scenes are so good.,10 "The pros: Likeable Holland. Zendaya grows on you in the 2nd film. Jake is always a plus The cons: Annoying friend. Magic drones. Sub par plot. Tony Stark constant memoriam. Annoying May.",4 "Why?? 1- Fight scene is very low, inchoate and slow. 2- Story is ridiculous, no drama, no thriller, simply no art! 3- Easy predictable. 4- lieing is so exagurated, John falls from a top of the building hitting 3-4 angles and getting upeasily without any indications of fractions, coma or any thing!!! seems ridiculous, and felt as indian scence! 5- that man over the table !!,,,, I am speacless. He seems the most powerfull man on earth, and lives in a tent in the desert completely separated form any kind of civilization! how is that possible? is it 5G innovation??? I could list few more point but the summery is clear as in the title, movies that deliver a message and gives value, gets 4 or 5, and garbage like this John Wick 3, Aquaman, It, Anabella... gets 7 and 8. people taste is unbelivable.. this move has a good strat with a great identity in John Wick part 1, then it should stop. The 2 star is for the 2 dogs only, they deserve it.",2 "What if???? Marvel animated tv show. In each episode they take a established marvel story and change certain events to see different outcomes. In my opinion it's done pretty well. They're entertaining and pose interesting parallel universes. Pros: Good animation. Fairly well written, original idea, mostly good voice acting. Cons: some voice acting is annoying/bad, In the fist episode dialogue is horribly written. Overall pretty entertaining and good tv show. I recommend 9 years and older for some language and dark themes.",7 "The movie has a strong start visually, then gets all Elijah Woods- pale white guys staggering through scenery on a seemingly impossible mission, trading wooden dialogue. It also reminded me of Dicaprio in 'The Revenant', where a white guy staggers through scenery and an implausible story, stuck together by an implausible plot. Best not to see it in the cinema so you can play with your phone and make it through the two hours having done something useful.",6 "I know everyone thinks I'm nuts for saying this but I have a different opinion about this movie. I believe the whole action being exaggerated and lacking every bit of realism, or let me say it lacks good sense. This so called ""wow"" of the movie is nothing else but an exaggerated drama, you know when ""this or that"" happens, can't say more, sorry, I don't want this to be a spoiler comment. Realistically speaking I would call this movie medium/poor rather then a great movie. No idea tho why people tend to get so highly emotive on over-exaggerated unrealistic drama, but my only hope is people did not give this movie a ""Great movie"" vote just because Sandra Bullock and George Cloney are playing in it. Other then the two playing in the movie, most of it is made out of simple scenes, linear story, some special effects made on computer (not very good ones) etc Sorry, is just my opinion and I respect everyone else's opinion, but I can't give this movie a higher note then medium/poor.",4 "I am a Tarantino fan but this was not good. The movie was well acted but had no real story. I would go as far as to say if anyone other than Tarantino had written this it would have never been a film. I got the concept of the movie "" in Hollywood anything is possible "" that wasn't enough to save this one.",3 "since the last season we were left out with so many questions and season 1 finale kept us so desperate for more of the show. this season simply was a masterpiece. every thing we wanted to happen but didn't happen in season 1 happened in season 2 . the kids were simply amazing i just love them they are so cool and so so damn good in acting all of them the casting choices were on point every actor portrayed their character to a point that no one can replace them in any way . story line went falling down like a stream that lead to a water fall very nicely. but still confused why they added the 7th episode which wasn't matching that much to the main story line of this season that episode damaged the image of the show in some way as i think it wasn't that necessary but it wasn't bad either . new charters which were added out of nowhere wasn't a bad idea ether because they added some value of their own and they aligned them nicely with the main characters . Millie Bobby Brown did her job so well that none of the experienced actresses of any other TV show could even come close to her level she is gonna win a Oscar someday for sure (if she didn't screw up like other child actors ) there are few people in the show who were overlooked because of the star power of the kids , Joyce Byers she just acted in a way how a mother would react and what a mother would do to get her son in a way no any person could do so without going insane . Jim Hopper i have nothing to say he is a brilliant guy . Steve Harrington he is just awesome he did many things that a guy who has a brain wouldn't do like fighting a demidog with no one else . just like season 1 kids all the kids including mad max was so cool i just love to see season 3 cant wait for it The Duffer Brothers have made their name immortal with this show brilliant storytelling my review 9.8/10 (0.2 reduced because episode 7 )",9 People are just weird about the fact they hate a brand new show so much. Let it ride out a bit more before you throw all the 1s around,9 "I don't understand why people enjoy this horrendous show. I mean, we have enough problems with this oppressive world because quite frankly I think it's time for Hollywood to start listening to what individuals actually want instead of making dark and disgusting things on TV.",1 "Good film with nice acting, beautiful cinematography and decent humour, Tho it's not great as Charlie Chaplin's dictator and it's still enjoyable",6 "I just finished watching the series and thought it was quite good, very entertaining for the most part. Although the stories of Yennefer and Ciri were important to the understanding of the story I wish Geralt had more screen time. Often I would want to see what was happening with Geralt instead of Yennefer and Ciri. Just my opinion though and most people might disagree with that but that was a minor part and other than that I had a great time watching.",9 "Not too original in anyway. Loads of CGI. Story line, in one or the other way, feels dragging. Acting, is just that. I'm on episode 4... And not getting any better on the way further. One thing that is absolutely horrible, is the new Captain America. Anything but likeable. His character drives the show lower in every scene he's in....",3 After watching 5 episode i quit this show.. Totally confused.. Full on overacting.. How its getting 8.4..?? Am I stupid.. Or the ppl who r lyking it.. God save netflix..,2 "Good acting performances by the cast. However thats the only redeeming thing about this movie. Other than that its tedious, very little action, and quite frankly not interesting. Disappointing, I love Martin Scorsese. The Departed is my favorite movie. He has made some of, if not the greatest, mobster movies of all time. This was a let down",5 "Hopes were high with the sequel to keep on continuing the fame and praise it built with the first installment. But the reviews came in and even for me personally, the second installment was a disappoinment. Even though it had a quite good VFX charisma and few brilliant shots, the overall plot and characters were a letdown who tried their best but couldn't spell its magic like the Harry Potter series..",4 "Let me just be frank. The storyline and main settings are fantastic. However! Some of the characters behave the way as they're missing some brain cells! It's extremely rare to find that kind of behavior in real life plus some of the plotwists happen in the least plausible ways. Female characters are extremely ""underdescribed"" in this show, most of them are simplistic, irrational, ingenious and lack of genuineness. Completely overshadowed by their male counterparts.",9 "The movie didn't fulfill its expectations. Not only bacause it portrayed Dhaka in a wrong way, there was no story in depth, nothing thrilling, all we get to see some marvelous action stunt scenes in all over the slums in Dhaka which doesn't make any sense. No humors, nothing special and estreme yellow effects killed the least of emotions. And wherever they tried to show in Dhaka couldn't connect its audience bacause Dhaka is not like that at all. Dhaka is a megacity, its not a beautiful city but It's not a slum at all. They didn't shoot the movie in Dhaka so nothing match its actual environment. Their accents didn't match and Indian music in every home and child with shotguns also very unfamiliar in Dhaka. So what is the point of using a name of a different city from a different country when you are not able to connect even not the language. The only thing I love in the full movie is Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Huda's acting. They did their parts very well.",2 "The Matrix, Groundhog Day, They Live, Wreck It Ralph, Gamer, Boss Level and Ready Player One is of the few movies I can name that Free Guy ""borrows"" many of it premise/plots to tell a story that has been told many times before, it doesn't bring anything new to the table, the only two times I actually started to enjoyed the movie it lost me by the presence of Taika Waititi and the rest of the movie is ruined by the unnecessary wokeness and social commentary. Yes it is a good movie to pass the time but that is it, no more, nothing new but specially nothing exciting.",2 "Other than an excellent music selection (though played at weird times that through of the mood of the scenes) and Sheehan's (Klaus) amazing performance, I can confidently say this is a giant flop of a show. With poor acting, two dimensional characters that aren't developed in any way for us to try or want to connect with them. Half-assed explainations, terribly choreographed fights, and a predictable ending you can see from a mile away before the first episode is even over. I'm really disappointed. I was super hyped up when I saw the trailer but after the first half of the first episode my expectations were shattered. I hung on for six more episodes trying to give it a fair shot before I couldn't bare it any more. Save your self, you're not missing anything.",7 i don't wanna give anything away so all i am going to say is thank you to anthony and joe russo. not only have you made up for marvel's failings that was iron man 3 but you created a epic masterpiece that is up there with the top marvel films. i was familiar with the winter soldier story so i went in hoping for so much from this film and not only did they deliver but they blew me away. the two secret endings capped the film perfectly and gives us so much to look forward to in the marvel universe and as always leaves us wanting more and asking so many questions. my only frustration is i now have to wait god knows how long before i can buy the blu-ray! thank you so much for such an epic film.,10 "Sorry,..Pulp fiction was fun. The vampire movie was weird and Jackie Brown was the begining of the end..... That being said. This movie was a ""spaghetti hollywood drama"" that went NOWHERE. Leo and Pitt did a good job, but c'mooonnnn maaaannnn, how long do you have to ramble. I am a huge fan of David Lynch Hollywood based movies which go nowhere, but at least he has the art and poetry to keep you glued,..this is just the ramblings of an acid-head. Props to the pit bull in the movie, and I really dug Brad Pitt's loyal character. ---chl",5 "Having not really enjoyed the first one & having read poor reviews for this one I went in with low expectations for this film, but I'm glad to say I throughly enjoyed it. Much better than the first one, loads more gags I actually laughed at, great action & a pretty descent story to boot. Woody was great as always, Hardy on top form, especially as Venom & great acting from the rest of the cast. My only criticism would be that Williams was underused. I'd actually give it 7 & a half out of 10, but make your own mind up & see what you think. 😎",7 "I'd rather go to a descent airshow than pay to see this rubbish. The opening 20 mins, Ejecting at Mach 10 lols. Storyline is ridiculous , why didnt they use Stealth bombers.",3 This is the movie for those who are bagging for proofs of the surgical strike. Salute to INDIAN ARMY for their bravory courage determination towards the safety of our people. Must watch film.,10 "Reaping money like there's no tomorrow and rocketing to the top of IMDb to contend with even The Godfather and Shawshank, Inception has had nothing but success since its release. An incredible sceptic toward all things popular, especially in their earliest days, I fully expected this to be quite poor and overrated. Working as an independent dream-thief, Dom Cobb is tasked with the more difficult job of implanting a thought within the mind of a subject, the promise of reunion with the family from which he is estranged his motivation to do so. Forging a team of assorted talents, he plans an intricate network of dreams and deceit whilst simultaneously coping with increasingly realistic memories of the past. When a film garners almost universal acclaim and high rankings all around, discussion turns quickly away from the work itself, and more towards its accolades. Such is certainly the case with Inception, its current spot at number 3 on the top 250 as much the subject of discussion boards as the (soi-disant) intricacies of its plot. Like its predecessor in Nolan's filmography, The Dark Knight, Inception is now praised variously as genius, brilliant, revolutionary, and ""the greatest film ever"". Yet almost for every fanboy who screams the wonders of this sci-fi epic is a cynic, tutting with disapproval and angrily muttering about the decline of modern civilisation. What we're currently seeing is a replay of Nolan's fortunes just two years ago. Some call him the new Kubrick, others dismiss him as a glorified Michael Bay. The arguments between these two camps have been the subject of more discussion than the film's merits, or lack thereof; indeed such is the content of this ""review"" so far. My point: people feel compelled by such acclaim to either love the film, or to hate it, leaving a disturbing imbalance in its ratings. Unless you take a stand and proclaim it ludicrous garbage, anything other than unending praise will see you labelled a thoughtless moron, incapable of artistic appreciation or sagacious thought. Those who rate it a 1 out of 10 are making a point, refusing to stand for overrating. The simple fact is that Inception is a good film: entertaining; interesting; superb looking; well-acted; well-directed. Is it a masterpiece? No, absolutely not. Its flaws are many, both logically and cinematically; its moments of brilliance few. Aside from excellent effects and anti-gravitational fight sequences, it holds insufficient emotional impact to transcend the general mediocrity of its genre: the heist thriller in essence. And that is it. The film is perfectly entertaining, but at no stage is it anything special. I enjoyed myself, but certainly see nothing within it to warrant such vigorous fanaticism. And the ending was silly, overused, and lazy. A key example of the way in which people forget what they really should be discussing, Inception has become naturally presumed as a deep and thoughtful movie, probing far into recondite things and leaving us to formulate our own theories and opinions. In truth it is a standard action film, delivering a solid chunk of appealing-to-the-eye entertainment (some of the best for a while), but little more. Its plot is complex rather than its meaning, a key mistake audiences will continue to make as they argue and bicker. I just wish people could sit back and enjoy the film, rather than messing their pants at every halfway decent movie that hits the screen.",7 "The dose of action goes well from the beginning to the end of the movie. The swearing dialogues might be a bit boring, but I can't say that for the movie. The subject could have been different and interesting. I understand that it is for entertainment purposes, but sometimes I want to watch deeper, more emotional, more logical, different scenes. It seems a little lacking in these matters. It seems to be full of a mixture of action and comedy, but it seems to be devoid of emotion. The actors tried to make the characters entertaining. It's a fast moving movie. It's definitely fun and can please those who want constant action.",6 "I do not know what it is about films in the Marvel franchise, but more than often, they can manage to exceed our already high expectations of their films. Just when you thought that ""The Avengers"" was already a pinnacle of superhero action film perfection, along comes another one that challenges that position. ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" is more than just an excellent action-packed superhero film. Aside from those big fist fights, gun fights, car chases, it also has piracy on the high seas and gigantic aircraft of mass destruction to add to the mayhem. All of these action scenes were executed perfectly - the stunts, the CG effects, the editing, the set-ups -- no loose ends. Those who found the sound levels of ""The Avengers"" too much would find the quality of sound here just right. The directors Anthony and Joe hit all the right notes in their execution of a complex film. We do not feel the two-hour plus running time pass us by. The screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely was able to smoothly tell us about the Cap and the people he loved, along with the history of SHIELD, the history of HYDRA, the history of Black Widow, the history of the Falcon, all on top of a solid politically-charged thriller of a main story. Again, all these multi-layered details were all tucked in neatly, with no significant plot holes to ponder. Chris Evans gets more and more comfortable in playing this good-natured All-American hero. His physical aptitude is of no question in all those high-energy action scenes. More than just his chiseled face and physique though, he also proves he has the acting chops for those unexpectedly emotional dramatic scenes in the film. There was a charming one set in a museum, and another one in a hospital bedside, featuring a surprise guest cameo. Scarlett Johansson is bad-ass and kick-ass as the Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff. She had a lot more complex stunts to do here over those that wowed us in The Avengers. We also get to know Natasha a little better - - her background, her work ethic, her skills -- but just enough to whet our interest even more about her mysterious character. Samuel L Jackson reprises his recurrent role as Nick Fury. Again we get to see Nick Fury more in action here as ever. There was a particularly exciting sequence where Nick's car was ambushed in the middle of city traffic that was jaw-dropping in its execution. It was really good to see Robert Redford back in a big role in a mainstream film. He plays Secretary Alexander Price who oversaw SHIELD for the US government, the man who picked Nick Fury to head SHIELD. Redford still had that cool and collected touch of class that made him a big box-office star in the early 1970s. There will be new characters introduced. Anthony Mackie gets to be introduced as ex-soldier Sam Wilson, who will later don those awesome metal wings as Falcon. The beautiful Emily VanCamp is first introduced to us as Steve's next door neighbor, the shy nurse Sharon Carter, but she will also have surprises up her sleeve later. I am not really sure if there is still any surprise about the identity of The Winter Soldier, but I will just leave that for you to find out when you watch this film. You should really do so.",10 "Red Sparrow is an incredible thriller that's unpredictable, extremely well made and tense. Jennifer Lawrence gives an incredible lead performance with Joel Edgerton and Matthias Schoenaerts giving great performances. Francis Lawrence's direction is excellent. The pacing is also great. The only downside is that is almost excessively disturbing in places.",9 "Loved the series, extremely well made in virtually every way. My only issue, for a show that takes place in Soviet Ukraine, why is everyone speaking with a British accent? I just couldn't get over this, it really brought down the authenticity of it. I would've accepted Russian accents, just for easier viewing, but I can't quite figure out why the British accent was the default for an incident that had nothing to do with the U.K.",8 Tollywood most suprising hit karthi's second 100cr film join in boxoffice its always a superbic thriller every simgle frames shots are amazing sequel of this movie most awaiting sequel of kollywood.,10 "A unique, compelling, perfectly acted, written and directed film almost to the very end. Really this story is so original and interestingly presented that I was amazed at how good cinema Asians can create. Unfortunately though, the climax and epilogue of Parasite (2019) was a total letdown and almost ruined my entire experience. I don't want to give anything away about what happens in the plot, so I'll be as discreet as possible. Watch it! Give it a chance. Maybe I'm being overly pretentious, but it seemed to me that the filmmakers were chasing some more epic and unexpected ending than the entire film was before that, and personally, everything that happens after the third quarter of the film is total insanity and nonsense. Final score: 5/10.",5 No way to watch this movie and not to go into mind breaking depression Nonsense and doesn't have any plot just stupid film to watch for maximum stupidity,1 "-Part 2 -Writing:1.7/2.5 -Characters:1.6/2 -Drawing:1.8/2 -Sounds:1/1 -Fun:2.5/2.5 -Part 1:7.0 -Part 2:8.6 -Totally:7.8",8 "All I can say is that the movie is devoid of magic, humour & colour of the original, all the talent they had at there disposal & it's as dry as a sunbaked cracker.",2 "I love Neil Gaiman and most of his works, especially Sandman. I havent read Good Omens, so I had not expectations watching this new series. My only point of reference would be Constantine the short lived series and Lucifer (loosely based on the Sandman), both of which i quite watching after a couple of episodes. Good Omens is by no means serious but it does have some legit biblical references, such as the Garden of Eden and that the world is 6000 years old. From then on it starts a wicket journey with an angel and a demon, heading to Armageddon. It's hard to follow. Too many characters to remember, and you dont know which one is important or not, just to be ignored in later episodes. Too many time jumps in different places. Makes my head spin. And too much... British humor I suppose. Too silly for adults, too dark for kids, too much satire for the religious. I dont know who the target group is, but it's not me. I really dont know what to make of this. I quit watching it after one and a half episodes.",5 "I am big fan of science fiction, have been since I was a kid. Based on that love of science fiction, I added this movie to my watch-list when I first saw the trailer. After finally getting to watch ""Interstellar"" last night, all I can say is this movie is a towering disappointment. Put succinctly: The so-called science that underpins the story is nothing more than nonsensical hand-waving (I've never seen the theory of relativity butchered so badly). If you are looking for a good science fiction story, this is not it. Save yourself three hours of your life you can never get back and watch something else.",2 "Really bad fake accents, an incredulous plot to start out the movie, and extremely long with no redeeming quality. Feel bad for Jennifer L. She did the best she could. Don't waste your time. Watch Barney instead it will be less painful.",3 "Fargo is a masterpiece that made the Coen brothers Hollywood royalty. It has an absurd, fun story with over the top violence, fun and well remembered characters, great performances with really good cinematography. Fargo is not your regular mystery movie. It is original, well written and holds up even after more then 20 years. A must watch!",10 "This is first Indian netflix original series directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwani. The second season was a bigger disappointment than what I'm to my parents. Well, jokes apart, S02 was not as bad but S01 actually raised the bar so high that matching upto that level was never going to be easy. They just made the Gaitonde's character a mere joke. Guruji's character doesn't have the potential that we expected. The more they digged into other characters, more cartoonish they looked except Zoya, Malcolm and Jojo's character. They kept an open ending in S02 also but I hope they better come with a killer script else... First 30 seconds in the first episode and you'll get to know that this series is going to be dark, edgy and controversial. This series starts with bold statements on religion, and then continues with same on political figures like Rajiv Gandhi to a lot of cuss words, violence and drug use. If you're a person who gets offended very easily then I advise you to keep yourself away form it. Sacred Games is just an example of what Anurag Kashyap is capable of. This is his real potential. Now screw CBFC. I maybe am a bit biased towards Anurag Kashyap or Phantom productions in general. The whole cast did a great job, while we saw Saif Ali Khan in a good role after Omkara and Being Cyrus. Radhika Apte has a quite short but impressive role. In my opinion Neeraj Kabi, Jatin Sarna and Nawazuddin are the backbone of the series.",9 "Judd Apatow is really a godsend to the comedy genre. The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad and Pineapple Express are all great. However, this one tops them all. Jason Segel and Russel Brand are both absolutely hilarious in their roles. Like most Apatow productions, this film finds the perfect balance between raunchy comedy and heartfelt moments. Jason Segel's character was so full of pain that it really struck a chord with me. It should also be noted that Segel, in addition to playing the lead role, wrote the excellent screenplay. I only hope he gets more leading roles in future films, he has just as much potential as Seth Rogen.",9 "12 Years a Slave tells an amazing story about Solomon, showing the powerful mind and determination he had amidst ridiculous hardship. I think Chiwetel Ejiofor was the perfect actor for this, and I can not see anyone who can take up such a daunting task.",8 "Southpaw started off nicely but soon went down hill once 50 Cent was introduce, Fiddy (50 Cent) acting was wooden throughout the film. Whatever Fiddy did he was always smiling come rain or shine The film was poorly scripted which left very little for the main actors to get into. The plot drifted making you wonder how did they get there. Some of the plots made little sense and seemed to there without any thought to the rest of the movie. The best bits were the fight scenes if only the Mayweather fight had been this exciting. There weren't any outstanding performances that were Oscar material This was a leave your brains at home movie. If you are looking for a night out where you don't want to do a lot if thinking, then this the film for you. This isn't a movie I will be rushing to watch again. Hopefully there isn't a sequel.",5 "Up to Season 7 was great, a laugh a minute but season 8 & 9 just bomb I think I manage one laugh a show. They should rename it to Sarcasm Family it's just full of bickering and bad jokes.",7 "Absolute mess, sandler just shouting when he speaks as normal. No idea what was going on half the time. Hard to watch",3 "Boy did I have high expectations going into this movie. After making two of my all time favorite films, Insomnia, and Memento, and making a solid debut film in, Following, I thought Christopher Nolan could do no wrong. And while this film isn't exactly wrong, it just isn't better than Tim Burton's Batman. Hell, in my opinion it's a little worse than Batman Forever. What problems do I have with the film? For one thing Christian Bale. I always cringe when I see a graduate of the Keanu Reeves school of acting, and Bales deep monotone whisper did just this. For god sakes show some emotion! Guy Ritchie was able to pull that style of acting off in one of Nolans previous films, Memento, but in this it just doesn't work for Bale. Getting back to Nolan, it's hard to smell his stench in the movie. The beginning of the film is evident with his type of dialouge and dark artsy cinematography, but as the film goes on, you forget it's Nolan's, and it will remind you more of David S. Goyer's (the co-writer) Blade films. The second half of the movie is filled with little dialouge, and because of this the film just drags on to its way too long 2 hour and 20 minute end. And whats with all the one liners? It seems that Nolan and Goyer stuff the film with way too many inappropriate for the time jokes. But my biggest pet peeve with the movie was the score. It wasn't as much that it didn't hold a candle to Danny Elfman's classic Batman score, but more that I could not recall ONE time that it wasn't playing in the background. On the plus side, Katie Holmes does a good job as the love interest, and Michael Caine is great as Alfred. Gary Oldman also gives a fine performance. I could however do without Morgan Freeman's character who is basically to Batman exactly what Q is to James Bond. While the premise of the film about Bruces fear of bats was excellent, the rest of it just doesn't work as well as it worked for Burton (and even Schumaker in 'Returns) if you are more of a Batman fan than a Nolan fan, you'll probably enjoy the film a lot more than I did. 6/10",6 The direction is excellent. The actor who plays the role they make the characters so realstic . The related between the beginning and ending it's just perfect.,9 "When I first saw the advertisements for this, I will admit I was a little skeptical about a Hannibal television show. I proceeded to look up to see Bryan Fuller who not only created three shows I loved: Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, and Pushing Daisies which all ended way to soon. I love this show, I personally haven't watched Red Dragon, so I can not say if the characters are portrayed spot on to the movie. I can say that I love these characters, Mads Mikkelsen is an excellent choice to play Mr. Lecter. I hope this show does not go the same fate as Bryan Fuller's other projects, it would be so great to see these characters play out.",10 "This is a very suspenseful film that ironically pivots on the notion that cruelty to animals in one form is a sign of mental illness while in another form is masculine and aligned with God and Country. As you probably know, the film opens with a father saying a prayer just as he and his son kill a deer. From that point forward, the hunter and god-loving father is pitted against another character who, among other things, tortures a dog. We are provided with a number of scenes where animals, patriotism, faith are emphasized. One scene is when the hunter brings venison to his family's friends' dinner party and the veterinarian mother remarks that she can't cut the ""meat"" since she is a veterinarian. The veterinarian's daughters asks the hunter's son, ""don't you feel bad"" about killing an animal, to which the son replies, ""my dad would say 'do you feel bad eating a McDonald's hamburger'?"" I said all of this symbolism relating to animal cruelty is ironic because an actual deer was killed in the first scene. It wasn't a pretend killing, but a real one. At the end of the film, the Humane Association disclaimer states that it ""monitored SOME of the animal action and no animals were harmed in THOSE scenes."" Clearly, the AHA monitored the scene where the anti-hero chokes a dog, NOT the scene where the deer was killed. Of course, the producers ""pragmatically"" thought that it is okay to kill a deer since hunters routinely do that and the main character is a hunter. Not in my book. Killing is wrong. It is especially wrong when it is for nothing more than a scene in a movie. Movies are fake. They are fakes of reality. So, real killing does not belong in fake realities. Animal cruelty and associated allegories and symbols figure prominently throughout the film. I am discounting the layers of meaning and symbolism in the film, but only the actual death of an animal.",5 "Not sure why people are giving it 10, it doesn't come even close to ""Saving Private Ryan"". The action are very average, story is weak. Maybe British loved it since it is a british movie! maybe.",3 "Let's start off by saying everything about this show is cliched. Before that turns you off, it's cliched on purpose which makes this show so brilliant. The soundtrack is perfect.... the mind of Gerald way is perfect. I'm bias because I love Ellen Page. No one put Ellen Page in the corner. You will fall in love with Klaus. The smart assed remarks by number 5. And the intensity of vanya. Good watch if you enjoy the sci-fi",9 "With all it's gore and sometimes shocking scenes, with a story in the background of what a super could or could not be. It all makes this so compelling that you can not stop watching. Loved the twist in this series.",9 "I typically like marvel types shows. I have since I was a kid. But I guess my geekdom isn't sufficient for all the Easter egg knowledge for this show. Which is less Easter egg, but plot points And I hated wandavision for so many reasons. And oddly she wasn't the worst part of the movie. It her Thanos over the top ''nothing can affect me"" gets old super fast I wish they had cut 30-49 minutes off the movie and trim all the distractions from a traditional marvel recipe But my teenager really liked the movie. Which tells me, I wasn't even close to the audience the show aimed at. He is the only reason I stayed to watch the movie, because 'sunken cost' was not enough to keep me in my seat for this movie. Which now makes me think that unless has a 8.5 rating or higher by thousands of viewers,...I'm thinking all future marvel and dc films will be if the same ilk. Although I will watch the next Thor movie as it so far has not failed.",4 "Very little action, very little character development, boring plot. Overrated. And people say this movie is better than saving private ryan... you must be out of your mind. Every acting performance combined in this movie is worse than supporting actors in saving private ryan, nevermind the juggernaut performances by tom hanks/tom sizemore/edward burns.",5 "This was a very well made short series, kudos to the team. The writing was on point, characters felt real and alive, and the nostalgia inducing setting of the story was what made it all the more special. Especially loved the middle aged characters.",10 "Nothing great. I actually prefer the 1st movie, that had more panache, twists and turns and interesting plot. This one starts out with some initial chutzpah, but later as the movie moves forward, with not much plot to hold on to, fizzled out... The writing seemed lazy at many instances and Acting also was just okay. After a while it just became tedious to watch. Daniel and couple of others tried to give their best and with a weak plot and character development they couldn't save the movie. An average thriller for me and is passable or if you have a rainy night to pass the time! Hopefully the next installment will be better and more interesting!",7 "Some scenes were filmed in Abu Dhabi UAE as ""Dagistan"" but in one scene they totally forgot to replace UAE flags above the houses. Time: -31:52 to end.",1 "Ben Affleck's latest movie has been getting a lot of buzz. And while it is not nearly as triumphant as his previous directing jobs (Gone Baby Gone, The Town), The finished product is both fun and smart entertainment that makes for an intense experience. The story of Argo is based on the rescue of 6 hostages from Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis. Affleck's character works for the CIA, and comes up with the idea to pretend to be a Canadian film crew going to Iran to scout out locations. Since the other ideas are absolutely awful, this is the one they go with. Affleck flies out to Hollywood to meet with people that are on board to make a fake movie. John Chambers, a makeup artist, and Lester Siegal, a producer, decide to try and make it work. Affleck then flies over to Iran to try and get the 6 escapees out of the Canadian ambassador's house and on an airplane. Since the story is historical, it takes away from the movie at times. The scene where Affleck finally finds the right script is tedious, and the suspense of them trying to sneak around and eventually trying to escape also at times is a bit annoying. However, as Affleck has proved in his previous films, he is a genius at creating suspense. The scene in the airport is entertaining and impressively original in its execution. Affleck also gets the feel of the late 70's down exquisitely well, and the Hollywood aspect allows for a multitude of self referential humor that is very well done. The acting is all great, especially by Affleck, and John Goodman as the makeup artist. The six hostages are all interesting characters and finely portrayed. The real problem with the movie comes from the script, written by Chris Terrio. His depiction of historical events is almost absurdly derivative and predictable, which limits the movie quite a lot. The characters, too, seem to be a little too basic, but perhaps that is the fact that this is a Hollywood movie about a high concept Hollywood movie that actually happened in real life. For all of its shortcomings, Argo is a thrilling suspense movie. Affleck is certainly no Hitchcock, but he gets the job done nicely. The movie is American all around, and that gives it both its greatest strengths and biggest weaknesses. http://thatguythatlikesmovies.blogspot.com/",6 "Having read the biography of John Nash, this film by Ron Howard was a great disappointment to me. Nash's real life was much more interesting and complex than Howard's Hollywood version. Films must, of course, take liberties with books, and, in this case, with reality, but a great writer and/or director knows how to find the necessary balance. Unfortunately, Ron Howard chose to rely on ""gimmicks"" instead of true creativity in his version of John Nash's fascinating life. What a waste! Do yourself a favor, read the real story and skip the movie version.",5 "I won't give it a 1 to even things up a little, I give it a 6 which is real. Maybe 6.5 but 7 would be a stretch. I'm disappointed with a film that I waited for so long, with a great title that was waisted. Interstellar should have been a masterpiece, with, well, a lot of Interstellar traveling. The duration is just to long, especially the first part, which brings nothing extra to the story. It's just to stretched out trying to bring I don't know what. A feel of 2001 maybe, but 2001 is in another galaxy for this one. I didn't like Inception either, so maybe it has got to be something with Nolan. I'm a sci-fi fan, but today everyone's trying to make sci-fi, but they don't succeed. They are doing it wrong! District 9 was the last good sci-fi I watched. Interstellar has got great visuals, I give it that, but Gravity had more (another film that sucked big time). I wouldn't watch it again.",6 "Well, Sapochnik knows how to direct, he's great as a matter of fact, as long as he's got good staff around him. However, Game of Thrones will forever define him. Whether he likes it or not. It still blows my mind how Miguel could have directed a masterpiece like episode 8 of season 5: Hardhome, then make the mistake of not screening something like season 8's The Long Night. Just compare both episodes, the best to the worst. Anyway, belonging to the heartbroken GoT victims..I mean..former fans, House of the Dragon is good not great, yet. But it kind of, sorta fills a great void left by Dumb & Dumber. Sorry, David & D. B..(not sorry!) There are some great things about the show. Like dragons glore, familiar sword play, and great evil villians. Talented actors like Paddy Considine, Rhys Ifans and Matt Smith..all excellent. And actresses, Olivia Cooke, underrated for sure. And Milly Alcock, who's a ringer for a young Carly Simon (hint, hint..life story there..call it, ""Clouds in my Coffee."") But, it doesn't have the magic GoT once had, at least through the first 5 seasons anyway. GoT had a raw, visceral emotion that will certainly never be matched, or most likely seen again. House of the Dragon is political, not as sexy or mysterious but it's got the potential to be above average. I'll keep watching. With my guard up, for now.",7 "QT has been on a losing streak for years. This is one more to add to the pile of boring, artsy films that will bomb and probably get some kind of award from Hollyweird: HATEFUL 8, DEATH PROOF, PLANET TERROR ... all unwatchable. This movie is slow up until the last 10 minutes. It is boring up until the last 10 minutes. Sure, great actors in every scene .. Leo and Brad and Kurt .. QT's favorites. They can all act but they don't have a lot to work with here. The funny parts are all in the previews. Then they take on the Manson disaster with humor? It is a swing and a miss by QT. Time to ride off into the sunset.",2 Every shot feels Unimportant. Selina's Mabel is absolutely uninteresting. I couldn't make it through the first episode sorry guys.,2 "Really great storyline , only talentless people or say boycott gang will give bad review without watching ! Give it a try and support talent really appreciate the effort of the film !",8 """Searching"" is a tightly written, smoothly edited mystery thriller with a unique style that works well for them. The film is a found footage format, but ""Searching"" goes one step beyond. Where a film like ""Blair Witch"" or ""Cloverfield"" might be a series of videos taken from a camcorder, the footage from ""Searching"" is taken from a computer screen. All the footage of the movie is comprised of video captures from the desktop screen of our main character, David Kim. The film makers have fun with showing the passage of time through older internet interfaces. With any film making gimmick, the question becomes, does this format help or hurt the flow of the story? And I can say with confidence that this time around it helps the story. The desktop point of view helps the audience both get in the head of our hero, but also to help them play along at home. The hero only has the same resources that any of us have. This makes him relatable, and the search more fascinating. On the negative side, outside of this hook, there isn't much else to the movie. Perhaps I simply watch too many other crime dramas, but this just brought very little new to the table for the mystery. It is an old story but told in a creative way. If you like crime thrillers, suspense or mystery, then this is a fine film for you. If you are an inspiring editor, you may want to watch this film for a showcase of tight visual story telling. If any of those apply to you, then this is the film you're searching for.",6 "This movie could have been great. It's a unique topic - corruption in the NYC heating oil business in the 80's. Great location. Great time period. Great cast. Could have been a nice gritty slow-burn drama or a mob-style crime story. But it is neither. And the main problem is that Oscar Isaac's character has zero motivation. ZERO. Threats come at him from all sides because of his heating oil business - threats to his family, his livelihood, his freedom - and the most we get from him as a reason for why he still wants to stay in business is... uh... hang on... I know a character asked him point blank why he was doing it. Let me try to remember what Oscar said. Oh I remember now - NOTHING AT ALL. He gives no reason. He has no reason. He shows us no reason. He is just movie character man doing plot things because movie. And writer/director Chandor is perfectly fine with this because he's too busy oiling the hinges on all the doors his characters use. Every single scene starts way too early. Characters come home or arrive at the office or get in the car. Door after door is opened. Lu-cy I'm home! And the scenes all start the same way on a static wide shot of whatever dim lit room the character is entering and we hold on that shot until all the other characters have entered or walked into the scene from off camera. The whole film has zero drive. Main character has no drive. Scenes have no drive. And many many Chekhov guns go unshot. And I'm not talking about the lack of violence. I don't care that it's not violent. I'm talking about setting up things for the audience that have zero payoff. Promises that go unfulfilled. Questions that are never answered. And one that is so conveniently answered in what can only be described as Deus Ex Machina at the end. Had high hopes for this one after All is Lost, which I really enjoyed how Chandor did so much with so little and kept the story engaging. But this movie was nowhere near as well-crafted, and at 2 hours plus, I suggest avoiding it.",4 "Terrible finale for a good beginning The first season was good, but the second season was so bad that especially the end. Nothing unexpected, no creativity in the plot",1 Consist filling your day with any activity that does not include wasting 2 hours on this pointless waste of film. I feel horribly cheated and I want my time back! Story goes nowhere and you'll never know why....,2 "Good action, but at one point. Chis Hemsworth (a grown man) beats up an entire group of children that are essentially indentured slaves to a drug kingpin. I have never seen a film where a grown man would beat up white kids (unless it's a comedy like Step Brothers) so not sure why it's appropriate to beat up little brown kids. Bad taste in depicting Bangladesh. also not sure if we need another ""white hero in a developing country film"" but...",1 "What sets 777 Charlie apart from other movies is its message of love, compassion, and kindness towards animals. The film highlights the importance of treating animals with respect and care, and how they can bring joy and meaning to our lives. The bond that Charlie shares with his human family is heartwarming and will make you laugh, cry and fall in love with the characters Rakshit Shetty delivers a nuanced performance and brings depth to his character's journey. Its an emotionally resonant movie that will leave you with a smile on your face and a warm feeling in your heart. It's a must-watch for all animal lovers and anyone who appreciates a good story.",10 "Jennifer Lawrence is the #1 female movie star today and she carries a thin plot and weak cast to create an enjoyable glimpse into the former U.S.S.R. It bears a strong resemblance to Luc Besson's epic work ""La Femme Nikita"" which still holds up after 27 years as my favorite movie. But this is not that. It is overly brutal, depraved and cruel. There is none of the alliances the former had that gave Nikita (Josephine) her identity. And the characters of ""The Matron"" and ""Uncle Vanya"" were pure evil masters not mentors or teachers. Still Mary-Louise Parker was interesting as was Irishman Ciarian Hinds in his character as the head of Russian Intelligence.",7 "I find the series way too long for the writing . at episode 6 , thinking to quit finally. it is over rated. the first like 2-3 episodes where interesting, Maybe the casting and characters(like the private detective) felt uninspired , it seem people said in the book she was different. The story doesn't hold well in this series. yeah, maybe as a 6 episodes mini series it would have not overstay, or as a 2 hours movie.",5 Gorgeous idea totally ruined by the lamest plot in this quantum reality ! Hope it exists at its full potential some branch above or below . Why ? The writers are all gifted . But honestly... this amount of talent plays no with such flat imagination - brillant photography.,4 "If you're going to make a movie about the Nazis, you better make sure it's going to be good. Multiply that rule by infinity if you're going to make it a comedy. Because of this strict rule, only a select few have been able to take the greatest human atrocity of the modern era and turn it into a joke. Charlie Chaplin did it in 1940 with ""The Great Dictator"" (although he wasn't fully aware of the horrors), followed by Roberto Benigni with ""Life is Beautiful"" in 1998. Now in 2019, Taika Waititi has added his name to that illustrious list with his newest film, ""Jojo Rabbit"". Set in the waning months of World War II, this ""anti-hate satire"" follows the life of Jojo Betzler, a young boy growing up in the Hitler Youth. His patriotism runs so high Adolf Hitler himself acts as his imaginary friend. One day, Jojo discovers that his mother is hiding a Jewish girl named Elsa in their walls. This bewilders the boy, putting him in a quandary over what to do with his foreign guest. With an enemy in his home, Jojo must confront his nationalistic ideals and learn for himself what truly lies within the people he was born to hate. Apart from a few problems structurally and tonally, ""Jojo Rabbit"" is near faultlessly helmed by New Zealand native and ""Thor: Ragnarok"" director, Taika Waititi. From the often symmetric shot composition to the sumptuous production design, ""Jojo Rabbit"" is the most Wes Anderson-esque film that Wes Anderson didn't direct. It does feel like Waititi is copying a little too hard from time to time, but the distinct whimsical style he employs effortlessly immerses the audience into the satirical world. Aiding this immersion, Waititi does what he knows best and interweaves comedy with drama as he pokes fun at the Nazis while also using them as a smaller target for his much grander message. That message is of peace and love, which can be authentically found within this story, especially in the interactions between Jojo and Elsa. A negative side effect of Waititi's fluent directing is that it makes his middling writing stick it like a sore thumb. His risque plot eventually gets boiled down to a slightly over-simplistic message that isn't able to land its punches as hard as it should. Weirdly, it all feels a little too safe for this kind of setting with these types of characters. The film also starts to lose its way around the middle third as a few of its many ideas and characters get lost in the shuffle. A few reveals are shocking, but only because not enough time was put into them to make us believe they were important enough in the first place. Even with these problems looming throughout the runtime, the script does have its shining individual moments. The slapstick one-liners mostly all land and the heart-tugging dramatic lines do hit close to home. With an assembled all-star cast, ""Jojo Rabbit"" is filled with great performances from A-list stars and fresh discoveries. The biggest hidden treasure that has been unearthed is the talent of Roman Griffin Davis. In his first-ever role, Davis perfectly translates his precocious character from the page to the screen. The future will be deservedly bright for him. Young star Thomasin McKenzie also does excellent work as Elsa. She already made a name for herself with last year's ""Leave No Trace"" and her role here further solidifies her strong track record. Scarlett Johansson plays Rosie, Jojo's sympathetic mother who takes in Elsa for hiding. Away from her usual Marvel role, this may be Johansson's best work in years as she is both hilarious and endearing. In more purely comedic roles, Taikia Waittiti and Sam Rockwell are a blast as Adolf Hitler and Captain Kenzendorf, respectively. Taking the horrors of humanity and turning it into a comedic moral lesson is no small feat, especially when you target the worst of the worst. So even with his struggles here and there, immense credit should go to Waititi as he has crafted one of the better films of the year and made something that will be timeless in its message and morals.",7 "The special effects are good. There is a decent story there. But, when you get down to it, it is little more than a war movie with interminable firefights. Also, some of the typical cinematic techniques, like switching quickly from ""scene to scene"", don't work well with 3D. The backgrounds on 3D are very blurry (to create the depth of field) but by the time your eye finds the main focus point, the film has moved on - leaving the feeling of ""what was that?"". The movie obviously attempt to appeal to virtually everyone - those looking for something ""morally uplifting"" and those wanting a good action flick. I'm guessing it went on so long partly because of that and partly because they spent so much money on the special effects that they could not bear not to use them. They made a movie with much potential quite boring. I think I'll skip the obviously forthcoming sequel.",3 "I was shocked after seeing the series. I have always known the incident but not in this detail. Every aspect of this series is so much researched and the details they have used are unbelievable. Its not easy to make this kind of content as lots of poltical things have been disclosed. This series is more like a documentary. Every thing has been so precisely reconstructed. Acting is superb, writing is perfect. Surely one of the best series of today's.",8 "I might be one of the few people (so it seems) who really didn't care too much about this movie. The main idea of this movie? 10/10 for SURE. It's a really cool idea but I just feel like the movie could have done SO much more with this story. I definitely like the added poke about social media these days, but in a way it also felt bland, overdone and generic. It seemed like a cheap jab towards gen z'ers ""always being on their phones"" and not caring about anybody else. The movie lacked in character building and background story and took ""fast pace"" to a new extreme in my opinion. It seems they're already planning on making a new movie and I hope it's more about the background story of where this 'hand' and everything came from. IMO they can slow down the pace a bit more to actually set a scene and build suspense more. The movie had a lot of potential but ruined it for me on several fronts. I've seen horror movies with much lower ratings than this one, that i actually think are way better than Talk To Me. But I think this is more of a horror movie for the general public than the ones who actually enjoy a good horror movie...",4 It's absolutely a great show but I don't think it deserves to be with the top 10 tv shows on IMDB,8 "Sorry to say, buy I just can't understand how this boring movie got so many good reviews. Good thing I pirated it, too bad I lost 2 hours of time tho. Could have watched a better movie.",1 "The show claims to be the story of 1989 but lacks realism bigtime. Trains didn't have green coloured coaches in 1989. Agra station didn't have their names written in black on a perfectly yellow background. Trees weren't painted red and white back then. Books available in India didn't have barcodes back then. If you are making a show claiming it to be from 1989, pay attention to detail.",1 "Claymore is a complex and action packed anime. Claymore are a series of warriors that are half human/half yoma (demons) that must protect humanity from yoma, even though humans are very wary and fear the Claymore. Run by a mysterious organisation, the subject of the series is Clare, the lowest ranked Claymore of all. Over the course of the series we find out why she became a Claymore, her troubled past, and look at the relationship she develops with a young boy that wishes to stay with her. Throughout the series we meet a number of different characters and the events lead to a dramatic conclusion. The animation is gorgeous, focusing on darker and paler colours. The whites, silvers and greys create an unforgiving world where these monsters and warriors could easily exist. Clare is a fascinating character, as are most of the Claymores as they must avoid using too much power lest they turn into the very demons they fight. The world that Claymore is set in becomes very complex, and a lot of the rules seem to be made up just in the nick of time to save our protagonists. The biggest problem for me is something I find in a lot of animes, and that is constant dialogue that explains everything. We hear about character motivations, characters' interpretations of other people's motivations, why they are doing certain things etc. etc. Even when in the middle of a huge battle, characters will prattle on. Luckily the characters do keep ones attention, even if it was hard to tell the difference between the Claymore as they all have the same colour hair, costumes, and eyes. The action hits at a blistering pace, with some really painful gore. I did find it hard to concentrate on the last few episodes, because it just kept flashing back and after everything it just seemed as though people wussed out in order to push forward a second season that never happened. But if you like monsters, big swords, and large mythical tales, Claymore could be for you.",7 "I know my one line summary might not be that clear so I'm going to explain it to you. In 1994, we had classics like ""The Shawshank redemption"" and ""Pulp fiction"" who were in nomination at the Oscars and were stolen in every category in which they were nominated. They were all stolen by ""Forrest Gump"". These two other movies which were completely different in their style from the movies of the same genre as them but who came before them were completely over-looked. And the worst part is ""Forrest Gump"" is simply the biography of Forest Gump. Also, it robbed every movie in the best actor category. Of course it isn't that easy to play someone who is mentally ill but it's easier than playing just some ordinary person and playing it well. Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) lives with his mother and comes from North-West Alabama. However, he has a slight mental deficiency and a leg problem for which he must wear a brace. When he starts going to school, he is rejected by everyone except the bus-driver and a young girl named Jenny. One day after school, while Forrest and jenny are hanging together, they are surprised by a bunch of boys from their school who start throwing rocks at Forrest. He tries to run away but because of his bad leg, he can hardly get away. This is the classic scene when Jenny yells ""Run Forrest, run."" and as he runs, his brace starts to come off and the boys who were chasing him are unable to catch up to him for he is too fast, even though they have bikes. As the years pass, Forrest and Jenny (Robin Wright Penn) go their own way. Forrest gets into the army and goes to Vietnam. But one night in the camp, all the soldiers are in bed and pass on a Playboy magazine. When Forrest gets it, he realizes Jenny has her photograph in it. Further on during the war, he saves the life of his lieutenant named Don Taylor (Gary Sinise) but loses his best friend Bubba. Also, his lieutenant is left legless because of the accident whereas the only Forrest gets is a bullet in the butt. When Forrest gets home, he as many things to do. On of them is to go over to Bubba's parents' house to announce to them he was killed in combat. Another thing he does is try to find Jenny. The movie is a kind of comedy-drama and is pretty good. But I still don't think nor understand how it won best picture, best actor (Tom Hanks) and best director (Robert Zemeckis) at the Oscars. I mean, if it had really deserved those Oscars, wouldn't it get a higher rank than both ""Pulp fiction"" and ""The Shawshank redemption"" on our top 250 list? I actually believe that the one who deserved an Oscar more than anyone else in the movie is Gary Sinise as Lieutenant Don Taylor. However, it was almost impossible for him to win that year because we had Martin Landau in nomination for best supporting actor in ""Ed Wood"" and he truly deserved the Oscar he won. So all in all, this isn't a bad movie, it's just way too over-rated.",6 "Yes, it made me feel anxious and stressed, that isn't a good thing. I'm susceptible to panic attacks and have terrible anxiety, so this film didn't really help that. I get that this was the intention, but if your intention is to make it impossible for people to relax and watch your movie, then you're deranged. Who wants to have their senses tortured when watching a movie? Horror films produce thrills that can make for a fun watch, but having a film try to be as obnoxious and loud as possible to make you feel anxious is NOT fun. There are boundaries on what constitutes for a good idea when it comes to playing on human feelings, this is one that should always be kept off limits. Other than that I think Adam Sandler did a good job but I could barely focus on him.",5 "If you like a lot of talking scenes, followed by the least amount of action you can get into a series, coupled with long drawn out conversations and a dash of misplaced suspense, then this is the one for you! You will watch this show and half way through, you will realise that you don't care about anything that's going on. It's so unbelievably boring, you'd be better off just asking somebody what happens without missing anything.",2 "Perhaps because of the hype, the director, and the cast, my hopes were set too high. I enjoyed much of the movie but here were so many random, endless, self-indulgent scenes that added little to the movie that I found myself checking the time frequently (never a good sign). My favorite character was the dog, followed by Pitt who just gets cuter with age. I liked the setting, the 60's vibe - if only there was editing, I would have really enjoyed this movie.",2 Pretty good but then end just gave up in a sea of liberal wimpyness and sad loserness. Of course it's al the cops fault and the criminals are just misunderstood.,3 "Aside from the truths about the human condition and how Forrest was able to overcome his difficulties with his ""realistic"" way of looking at the world, I find the way the author weaves in Forrest into the historical events of the times ingenious. And particularly serendipitous is Forrest's remark on Lieut. Dan's decision to invest their funds in a fruit company --> Apple Computer, which at the time the movie was released was going for around $6 (split adjusted), and is currently around $670 (as well as getting to be the biggest US corp by value). Forrest can afford to cut all the lawns in America for free now!",4 "I really wanted to like this but I cringed at like every line that was said and that ruined the whole show for me. It's definitely not unwatchable cause I did watch the whole show, but it did take me a while cause it was really slow sometimes and the whole detective thing got kinda boring after a while. It did have its great moments and I think I could rate this higher if the writing was better and less cringe and don't even get me started on the cgi... also most of the actors in this show that I've seen on other shows or movies are not bad but the script made them look like they were. I have to write something random here to reach the limit ok bye.",5 "The first 5 min 👌🏽!!! Not a second of the movie looses your attention, it makes you think, laugh and even got a little tear out. It's full of irony and sarcasm, visually amazing. The level of detail on the toys, clothes, etc!! If you think it's just a feminist movie, give it a chance, if your smart enough to understand and read into the details, it will make you se a different perspective on what's feminism actually mean. I don't think it's inappropriate for kids however, they have to be certain age to understand the movie! This is already pop culture icon, hopefully opening minds in every generation!",9 After 12 years how disappointing. Should have just made it the year after the difference in effects wasn't worth the wait. Plot was bad and felt like he could have made the movie 2 hours. I loved the first movie and this felt like a tv version. Effects were wonderful and so was the underwater world but story was long and drawn out considering not much happened. Can't complain too much that some of it felt more like a nature documentary then a science fiction. I saw the original a few times in the theatres and I feel like it wasn't even worth going to the theatres but no shows worth seeing since 2019.,4 "In this age of pulp it's hardly surprising this film gets such a high rating from most people. Compared to most of the other movies that come out of Hollywood it's fairly good... but compared to good movies it isn't. The first thing that bothered me was the storyline, or the lack thereof. Cliché is mounted on cliché, about 20 minutes into the movie the entire stretch of the story is already clear and it's just a wait for the ending. Predictable storytelling gets no kudos from me. That wait would not have been so bad if it wasn't for the second thing that annoyed me: The CGI. Almost the entire movie is comprised of CGI, and it just doesn't look good. On to the third reason I didn't like this movie: Unobtanium... a precious mineral that is hard to obtain... I don't know why no one of the film crew figured that that's a pretty damned bad name for a major plot device. It doesn't stand alone though, just about every non-earth name in the movie could have been pulled straight out of any cliché fantasy book. The acting was fine, although a bit upstaged by the above mentioned annoyances. The movie might have been saved somewhat if the emotions had been written a little deeper. The action was pretty good, but that's not that hard to do... especially when it's all CGI. All in all I'd say this movie is great for kids and people with a taste for underdeveloped and unoriginal story. To anyone who was hoping the 'best movie of 2009' would actually be good I'd say this is quite the disappointment. Where Lord of the Rings captures your own imagination, Avatar presses Cameron's imagination into your eyes with extreme force.",3 "Take it, such a good setting is shot like this. Except for 5, are the other people's superpowers useless, and all fights are hand-to-hand? ? Almost every plot direction can be guessed, and there are many waste scenes. The last episode was so stupid that I couldn't stop laughing. No matter how good editing and music are, they can't hold up a mess. Only the chacha and hasel lines are well received!",4 "A great comedy film, with lead Shahrukh khan making people fall on floor with laughter attacks by his asperger syndrome histrionics. The makers didn't know that actually they are making a comedy, thats why the end result is a laugh riot. Funny sequences on Indian interpretation of secularism coupled with Shahrukh overacting and clownish expressions make it a comic masterpiece. Must watch comedy.",1 "Feel good and fun whodunnit. Don't take it - or yourself - too seriously. It's a warm little show to curl up to with a warm beverage and have a good time with as they unravel the 'mystery'. Looking forward to Season 2!!",9 "I usually don't write comments but when I see the comments on this film, I can't keep calm. There is truly no substance that this film is getting so much hyped. 3 and a half hours of an old man talking about his life. Sounds interesting ? The point is, his life isn't interesting at any point. And this long of a film leeds to absolute nowhere. 2 stars for the message : Don't even trust the closest person around you. And for the graphics.",2 "Prisoners is a movie which was 50/50 for me. It started too slow and it was boring to begin with, however as it continues it was able to capture my attention. It wasn't what I was coming for but I'll l take it. All the ending was spectacular. There are some flaws on it however. For example the acting of some characters is not the best. There were a lot of plot holes. Jake Gylenhaal and Paul Dano though did amazing. They were great in characters. Overall and okay film to watch. If you just want to chill for the night you can definitely watch this. The movie isn't bad it just lacks engagement in the beginning but the pace gets better I promise.",5 "the best movie in history so far i have seen. i wish to see again and again.i am a medical student and after watching this i am inspired to study well for pg and serve for my country in rural areas and improve our country in my personal best way rather than going abroad and working for high salaries.i admire the director and all the staff of this for making for this beautiful theme. i wish that it last for 2 or three days rather than 3 hrs 15 minutes.i wish that a second part of this would be produced.very touching one.it is aver good movie.every one would be proud of our land.i got good motivation from this.very good one.good for our nation.thanks a lot.",10 "I changed my rating. Season 1 was the best, 2 was also nice, season 3 was almost unbearable with storylines that could've better been left out. There should've been much more Geralt in all the seasons. Seems like it was written by juvenile writers who need to prove themselves. (And failed) Why does Netflixr uin so many good shows? Like witcher, Knightfall, Frontier etc. Its getting known that if they mingle in something its bound to be bad. Best let these shows for streaming services that want to keep standards high instead of just cashing out. Netflix is simply not worth the money anymore. Leave the quality series to (for example) HBO.",2 "I never comment on anything, I don't leave reviews... And I'm not a hater, I give every movie, series a chance, and I've watched a lot... This series was by far the hardest for me to finish... I can't say it's bad, but neither good... It's realistic on a scale of 1-10... 6, maximum. A lot of unnecessary situations, bad acting and imposed bad emotions... The plot is not that badly conceived, but it turned out badly, and it's a real hit that it takes place in the eighties... 40% of the series is boring, that's why 6. It's not horror at all, nor is it action, it's more of a children's adventure, although it's a bit bad for children, because of some situations around Will and the girl who works with Steve... What to say, it's only my opinion.",5 Completely unnecessary movie without any storyline and a mix of characters just to be there for fanboys! They were missing just Harry Potter maybe and Mickey Mouse in the mix.,3 "I enjoyed the movie, not bad, suspenseful. Beautiful city pictures. The obvious tendency to prostitution and the desperate try to sell some tickets because JLaw did it, was embarassing to me and not at all sexy. In my view, this actress has had her role in life as Tiffany Maxwell in the Silver Linings Playbook. It cannot get any better. She cannot get casted or met or play(?) any better.",5 What happened? Seasons 1 and 2 were so good and then season 3 came along and ruined it all. Too much silly relationship drama and not enough plot. At one cringeworthy point it even turned into a musical from hell. Bring back the good writers please or I will not be watching season 4.,1 "This was kind of the typical Hollywood trainwreck movie. Put it another way: I know of a childhood neighbor-friend who would love it - his tastes in TV and movies being different than mine. Many of the scenarios in the movie seem either implausible or outright morally wrong. Any father I know from the 1960's would NEVER let their daughter run around amongst a bunch of adults!! This movie takes place at a summer retreat for wealthy families, and 'baby' (Jennifer Grey) is a rich doctor's daughter. She becomes infatuated with one of the dance instructors / entertainers at this retreat, despite some objections from her family. Patrick Swayze's acting is terrible. Dittos to Jennifer Grey. In addition to conning her father to get abortion money for one of the dancers, her doctor-father (Jerry Orbach) seems very progressive in his attitudes for the 1960's. Another disappointment is that there simply isn't a whole lot of dancing.",4 "Very good film. Maybe slightly longer than needed. Well thought out, kept you questioning the outcome which becomes unexpected. Well acted. Good music. Good cast",7 "IMDb is normally a good judge of standard but I can't understand why this rates so high. Very disappointed spending good money, time and effort watching it in the cinema for such a low grade film. I would have been happier if I spent 50p buying it in a boot sale and could have resold it again the following week. Limited plot and dialogue but action was good and kept me awake when occasionally I found myself nodding off. Some of the plot is implausible and not to be believed. It didn't keep my interest and I wouldn't recommend watching this film unless your looking for a break from thinking too much and want a rest. If your looking for excitement this film is not the answer.",4 For me #Ludo is definitely a fresh movie. I liked mostly parts of the movie. For me every actor done a mind blowing act. Pankaj Tripathi Lifeline of the movie. Whenever he come on screen that makes different level of entertainment. Rajkumaar Rao was mind blowing. Chemistry between Aditya roy kapoor & Sanya were superb. I love the bonding between Abhishek & that little kid & the special role of Rohit's Character Rahul. Storyline was decent but the movie was entertaining in some parts. I expect more comedy then I got. Still very much entertaining. Music is Mind Blowing that Arijit song Aabad kar lo was Mind Blowing. Direction was good. But this movie could've been cropped around 10-15 mins. Apart from this definitely a must watch movie.,8 "The action, the story, the cinematography, the characters, absolutely everything is better than either Wandavision or Falcon and the Winter Soldier.",9 "The first 20 minutes are crazy, but a bit too much lines by reynolds for my taste. the rest is boring. lame story plot. netflix disappoints again.",2 "Glass onion is bigger, bolder and more ambitious than knives out. The cast, music, and cinematography are obviously incredible. There are so many stand out performances, with Daniel Craig having even more fun with the role than last time (his first scene is genius and comedy gold). The writing, like knives out, is very self aware, yet can also be tense when it needs to be. It is both a parody of a murder mystery while still being an incredible murder mystery. The twists and turns are excellently done. The reveals are unexpected, but obvious on a rewatch. And the comedy is quick, witty and clever. What's not to love? I'm not sure why all the negative reviews are coming in, but I imagine people saw the critics reviews and had unrealistic expectations. Regardless, I loved it. Glass onion is another instant classic along side knives out. This is what a modern murder mystery looks like and I can't wait for the next installment.",9 """Top Gun: Maverick"" disappoints with its corny execution and shallow storyline. It feels like a Tom Cruise pet project lacking depth in both the script, storytelling and character development. The film leans heavily on nostalgia, but fails to offer anything substantial beyond that. The dialogue felt like it was written by children. And who are the enemies lmao ? Who even are they fighting? Overall, it's a missed opportunity to reignite the franchise with meaningful storytelling. I can't believe how someone in their right minds would rate this movie a 10/10. One of the most shallow and corniest movies I've ever had the misfortune to watch lol.",3 "Its an old anime from 2007, not consider as classic yet the animation quality seems to be low but it doesnt stopped me from binge watching the whole series. Can be categorised as action, horror and adventure. Its a fast paced short series, ideal for quick watch. Story wise nothing extraordinary, just a generic demon/monster hunting storylines depicted by various other animes but trust me stick for a while, it would gets better (literally cried on episode 8). The action scenes get better as well. Tbh, most of the claymores look exactly same ( barely spot any differences except for their voice casting, but it doesnt matter as most of them only had short screening time) Both opening and ending songs were mediocre. Big fan of the hand drawn animation style. The quality of the audio/sound scores were low, hence cheap production. Great characters development arc in this anime. Packed with violence, so not ideal for children. Would like to venture more in this world. Great closure for season 1 and i believe the show was cancelled afterwards, so no season 2 - too bad. I was really looking forward for clare to kill priscilla.... what a bummer. Highly Recommended.",9 "A perfect theme have not used yet, fascinating story. The vital component of romantic movies are soundtracks, it is unsuccessful. I think the biggest mistake of director, Michel gondry, is selection of soundtracks. Then casting Jim Carey is not pertinent for this movie. The director has sacrificed the history gorgeously.The keys of the movie are acting and soundtracks. i think the best of the movie is Kirsten Dunst who acting best specially at last part of the movie, she can reflect the piece of romanticism at the last part. Finally this movie should be seen but it can not match with fascinate and romanticism. Director is really unsuccessful. Suha Berk",7 "I realized that most of Christopher Nolan movies has this problem. At the beginning idea and plot is intellectual and intriguing. But at the end it turns into a very ordinary and simple story. At this movie it turns into a simple father-daughter story. I guess that's Nolan's way of making a lot of money. But i have to say that cinematography, sound design and compositions were awesome. If you like stuff about space, you can give it a chance. Or you must. If you haven't watched this movie yet you must be living in a cave or something.",7 "As a die-hard HP fan, (meaning I've read every on of the books, some multiple times), I was more than satisfied with the this film. After being slightly disappointed and longing for something after the last couple of films, David Yates has brought the initial ""magic"" to the movie franchise that I haven't completely felt since the second film, The Chamber of Secrets. The ironic thing, however, is that this film was a MAJOR departure from the first few. As I'm sure any fan has noticed, the movies have gotten increasingly darker and darker, and this was no exception. Because the series has reached its highest point of intensity, this movie is exempt from familiar screen-shots of Hogwarts, jolly trips to Diagon Alley, Quidditch, the Great Hall, and even the familiar, ""cute and magical"" melodies often heard at the beginning of the films. The Hogwarts ""crew,"" (Neville, Cho, Seamus, Dean, etc.) are only shown once in the whole film, and only for a brief scene in which they chased off Death Eaters. The whole movie chronicled Harry, Ron, and Hermione's search for horcruxes, enlightenment of the tale of the Deathly Hallows, and evasion from the Death Eaters, who are now stronger and more than ever, having taken over the Ministry of Magic. One thing I really liked about this film is the audience involvement with the Death Eaters as we ""sit in"" on their meetings and watch intense interaction between the members. I commend the cinematographers and visual effects artists for awesome ""action scenes,"" but I have never been disappointed by the animation in any of the HP films. One of my biggest complaints is that it definitely seemed to be dragging towards the middle while Harry, Ron, and Hermione camped out at different sites and tried to figure out their next moves in the conquest for the horcruxes. For about 45 minutes, it seemed like the film wasn't going ANYWHERE, but that could probably attributed to the fact that Harry wasn't getting anywhere in his search. The ending action was satisfactory, but kind of abrupt. As much as I am eager to watch the conclusion to the series, I couldn't be happier that the film was broken up into two parts. It just seems virtually impossible to fit the last book into one film without leaving out crucial elements to the plot. And in this book, even the details that SEEM minor initially are essentially crucial to the end. The acting was stellar. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson have grown, matured, and improved on-screen incredibly over the last ten years and it is especially visible in this film. Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix LeStrange was fabulous as usual. All in all, I loved the film and am impressed with David Yates' adaptation of such a genius storyline!",9 "I can tell from the cameras that there was a budget to this but everything else about this is amateurish. Adam Sandler smile mumbles every single line of dialogue and tries his hand at an oscar ugly cry that felt as genuine as a toddler throwing a tantrum. Every character in this is an unlikable sleaze, half the characters in this movie should have gotten twice the beatdowns that Adam does and the finale is like watching a game at a bar with a bunch of overenthusiastic, obnoxious clowns. The storyline is just a bunch of random BS to drag out the run time and not a single decision makes any sense whatsoever to anyone with a semblance of sanity. Random characters show up out of nowhere for no other purpose than to show how bad Sandler is and then are immediately dismissed. The audio engineering of this movie is worse than my college classes first attempts at video editing, the balancing is awful. This movie is a jumbled mess and not in an enjoyable way and saying that's the point does not excuse bad filmmaking.",3 "I really liked this anime and i couldn't stop watching. The 4th season kid of dissapointed me though. I recommend this to everyone and it's a good first to get into anime,",8 ".. if not all scales! After watching the first few minutes of the movie, I know it is a winner. Of course this is not something odd for a film joining once again the wonderful actress Jennifer Lawrence with the amazing director Francis Lawrence. Although the story gets a little bit tricky in so many turning points, yet it is so cleverly put-- in fact it is one of the best intelligence filmed stories. For so many times I got confused about what to expect next, a situation that makes all turns as much logical. This continuous and developing stress from minute 1 to the end was constantly combined with the professional (and beautiful) performance of J.Lawrence, and had made the movie a very entertaining one to watch. More than 2 hours and I didn't got bored, and that is not usual here. I loved it a lot! 9/10.",9 "First couple of episodes, especially episode one almost made me to give up on watching the series, however if you stick with it pass them it gets interesting and it's worth it!",8 "I like the stand alone Marvel Movies more, but it almost feels like an obligation to see all of them if you want to see the ones you like, or else, you'll have no idea what's going on when the ones you like continue. I'm prefacing with that so readers understand that I'm not just a hater. First off, I want to address the villain. My opinions I've heard/read asserted Thanos is a strength to this film. I found that to be the opposite. I found his motivation more convincing than the Justice League villains, who were so bad, I can't even really remember their motivation, and a bit less stupid than Ultron who was the AI thing that might have seemed like a real issue in the 80s or early 90s. But today it seems clear that the misuse of technology to our demise is going to be gradual rather than sudden. The vulture from Spider Man Homecoming, or the villain from Black Panther were much more compelling In my Opinion. Thanos felt like a cartoonish version of the villain Samuel Jackson played in the first Kingsmen movie. Except that Thanos didn't work like how the similar villain in Kingsmen worked. They're both trying to save everything by killing off a sizable chunk of people before people kill their planet or planets. The difference is that Thanos wants to randomly and painlessly kill half of everyone everywhere, and Valentine wants to save a few chosen wealthy friends. Overpopulation and idiocy is a real issue on earth. But in the Marvel Universe, it's a planet to planet issue, and it seems stupid to just kill off half of everyone on some planets which might not have any actual problems. And this issue is never even questioned by any of the characters. They just try to play the card that Thanos should try to save people, not kill them. Not a bad point. But it didn't seem like any of the Avengers seemed even remotely interesting in addressing Thanos' concerns. Not even Gamora. Plus, if someone gets two or three of these infinity stones, let alone all of them, can't they use that person yield that power to do good rather than evil? It just didn't settle very well with me. Loki was a much better villain because he's like the Joker. Destruction and chaos is his high. That's a real thing in people that an audience should be able to understand. The strength of this movie is the humor. I laughed repeatedly and was certainly entertained in that regard. It also, no surprise, looked really good and had great music. I was surprised how well the Guardians characters fit in with the other Marvel characters. But to me a feature length movie, even a short one, can't be good if the story isn't compelling. And this movie is long. If the villain's story was halfway decent it would have stood a good shot, but just getting characters together that one likes and making a spectacle, won't make up for giant flaws in the story. I didn't expect everything to be concluded, because these movie all set up more to come. But with an ending like this film has, it should have been advertised as the 1st part of 2 movies from the start. I really don't get how the next Ant-Man movie is going to work after what happened here in Inifinity Wars. Unless it takes place prior to the events of Infinity Wars, I don't see it working. But if that's the case, why not have Ant Man 2 come out first? I'm not a comic book reader. I open them up, look at the picture and think: ""I'm supposed to take these silly-looking overdramatic characters and pictures seriously? Do other people see how goofy these images are? What am I, 10? But I've heard from friends who like the comics that much of the events of this film unfolded as they did to stay loyal to the events in the comics. My response to this is that every form of entertainment's first goal should be to work within its own form. To me Infinity Wars' narrative doesn't work for a feature movie. I was upset with how it ended. And I know I wasn't the only one in the theater upset. And I find it disgraceful that, at the moment, this movie has 8.9 stars out of 10. Black Panther doesn't have 8 and it's actually good. What's wrong with people? This movie is currently ranked ahead of movies like 12 Angry Men, Casablanca, Dr. Strangelove, It's a Wonder life, American History X, The Prestige or Every Single Pixar Movie. What is wrong with people?",4 "Somehow, I had not seen this movie when it first came out. I guess it became so big so quickly that it gave me some pause. Everything I had heard about it made me feel that it was going to be one of those cloying, hyper-sentimental Oscar-baits that come out late in the year. After the safe distance of 20 years - and almost as a bet with a friend - I finally got around to seeing it. While I probably didn't hate it as much as I would have in 1994, I still don't understand why it was such a phenomenon in 1994 (were the movies really that bad in the 90s?). I still don't think of it as highly original; it certainly has very strong echoes of ""Being There"" and ""Zelig"" (and it certainly is not a good sign when a movie reminds you of so many other, better movies). Overall it is a pretty competent bit of film-making with decent acting (though you can see the seams of the ""acting"").",6 "It's a dark comedy with a special type of humour which incorporates violence, mental health and a complex love story. The chemistry between Mackie and Beatriz starts slow but blossoms into a thing of beauty. It isn't for everyone but it definitely was for me. The season has a simple formula and doesn't try to overcomplicate things. It's a journey from Point A to B. Each episode introduces a new encounter with a character or a faction. Very simple yet effective. The commitment to the source material with ideas to evolve it is magnificent. For example, as much as Sweet Tooth has come across as a mindless killer over the years, he's made out to be very calculated here. He's prepped and surprisingly very understanding. That's another layer of enjoyment of the series. Granny Dread and Roadkill make a sweet appearance. There's even an easter egg which has John enter a PlayStation code to start his car LOL. I loved it. The finale is ripped right out of the video game and was one dedicated to the fans of the franchise.",7 "Can I give negative stars? Beyond bad ... changed it after 5 mins, couldn't even get through the opening sequence. 5mins of my life I'll never get back.",1 Xena and Hercules are so much better than this series. This is a cheap show with some nudity.,4 "The acting was good. The directing (Paul Thomas Anderson) was terrible. I am at a loss to understand why so many people enjoyed this film. It was very disappointing to me, I thought I was going to see a first class film but instead saw something that was bizarre. This should have been a great film. The nearly 3 hour run time (2hr 46Min) could have been cut down to at least 2 hours and would have improved it. The Director had many scenes of completely empty meaning. Example. My Son daughter and I just made the start of the movie. We got settled in and I had to make a run to the mens room after a minute or two of watching him hammer away at rock. I returned after about six minutes and he is still hammering. No meaning what so ever. There were other scenes likes this where men are working an oil rig up, down, up down. And a scene where Kevin J. O'Conners character is sitting on the beach. Why am I staring at him looking up down and just sitting? Stupid. It's like Anderson sees this as artistic. I think its useless and a waste of film and run time. Again, to me this should have been much better. I have seen several epic films, Lawrence of Arabia, Gone With the Wind, Ten Commandments, A Bridge Too Far, and more. They didn't waste run time. They WERE artistic, this one falls far short. The first time I saw Daniel Day Lewis he was starring in My Left Foot for which he won his Oscar. And He was absolutely superb in Last of the Mohicans. This is a good performance but not my favorite (Mohicans is one of my favorite films, mainly because of DDL's acting). If he wins the Oscar that is fine with me, it was a good performance. But I will say, that by the end of the movie he reminded me more of Timothy Dalton in Hot Fuzz, looked like him and sounded like him. Strange, but thats how he came across to me. Paul Dano does a good job in his role of as does O'Conner. Bottom line from me. Wait for the DVD. Gary",3 "Barbie, the movie is great! It stars Margot Robbie as the character Barbie! There's also some so many starring actors/actresses who are also in that movie who they are fictitious! This movie is great for all viewers to watch, including millions people across the nation worldwide! The movie is a comedy, live action, and funny! Margot Robbie is an inspiring actress known for her movies, such as I, Tonya, About Time, and so much more! This movie is an inspiration for people who want to watch and see!

Personally I'm the lower end of 1/10 and a hater. Character extremely irritating, annoying, frustrating, boring and dumb! Pointless existence and showing the view two hours or his pointless existence is just painful to watch. On the other hand, my partner thought it was exceptionally brilliant, 10/10, empathised with the character and spent the last 10 minutes of the film on the end of his seat!",5 "I think we have all seen historical movies . Right from Mughal-E-Azam to Lagaan(Although I would call Lagaan a period film , some people consider it to be a historical). So, what's so special about this film? This movie takes the genre of Historicals to a completely new level . Saying that this movie is spellbinding is in fact an understatement . This movie literally transports you into a world of humongous palaces , extraordinary wars , and treacherous politics of what we think of to be the golden era of Indian history. The sets , costume design , music , art direction , lighting etc. take you into a completely new world . The story is extremely good . The screenplay and editing is crisp As far as the direction goes , Ashutosh is in my opinion , one of the greatest directors to come out of India in recent years . He gave us all great expectations from this film . According to me, he not only fulfills these expectations , but also raises the bar from his previous ventures. In the acting department , It's Hrithik right from the beginning to the end . Not to say that others haven't done a good job , but Hrithik completely overshadows them . This is his career best performance . Aishwarya does a good job as Jodhaa and this is the first time that her actual beauty is actually revealed on the big screen . Ila Arun ,and Nikitin Dheer receive special mention . Jodhaa Akbar is a masterpiece in true sense.",10 No motivation for any of the action up until the final act. Margot Robbie could have been entirely eliminated from the film and it wouldn't have changed a thing except saving us 40 minutes. Without Pitt's character this might have been a razzie. Love Tarantino but I'm no longer sad he's calling it quits.,4 "The story has potential but it was all lost by the way they did it. The episodes are too big with at least 20 unnecessary minutes of just big plans and music playing and people walking, Every episode adds so little to the story, looks like they are more focused on the picture that on the content itself . I watched 5 episodes and then it just got too boring and I gave up",3 "While Netflix has created a few good shows this one seems to be what they are most often making. They get a decent idea, start off with a theme, set a stage as it were then just kind of let it drift on it's own. Just nothing going on here.",3 "Movies like that would be worth watching if left a sense of reality with the viewer. As a woman, I find it highly unlikely for soldiers and officer in the movie to display emotional weakness during wartimes. Especially as it's our granparents' generation (my grandpa fought during WW2). This generation was unlikely to show a lot of emotion, even towards immediate relatives such as btothers, sons, etc. This was the mentality of those Times. Men should not display emotions or weakness at any time. Otherwise, the movie reminder me somewhat of The War Horse, another case in Point.",6 "Season 1 is a great build up considering they are piecing together the events before book 1. They do an ok job at it, Geralt, Jaskier and Ciri are portraied good, Jennifer is a missplaced carahter from One Three Hill in the first season. Anyhow, they start season 2 alright the first episodes, then they start deviating from the books. After that even Henry Cavill start acting awfull. Having read all the books i love the Witcher story, but I'm not watcing more of this peace of s**t... Lauren Smhidt, thank you for ruing one of the best stories out there, I fu***ng hate you. Merry Christmas, no, not you Lauren.",1 "This movie was made for sale only and no more. When a movie is made for sale, it is easy to recognize it. Strength = Tom Hardy. Weakness = the whole movie.",4 "If I was giving reviews solely about the storyline and the series itself this would be a solid 9 at least, but my ratings drop a bit because of the idea devouring dead human body by selfish reasons like art. By doing that it sends a message in to the real world that this is somewhat becoming more and more acceptable. And by that we lose our humanity step by step if we start to treat each others bad and do stuff that we would call inhumane. This tv series is in my opinion dangering normalizing cannibalism, taking dead human body as a form of art and turning just plain evil human being's something to be desired for. And a last thing if you think that you are not mentally strong enough I would stay away from this tv series, because this tv series is pretty heavy if you view it from a sociopaths point of angle for example.",8 """Thirteen Reason Why"" is a show that is centered around suicide. Although it is a very well done show, I think that it could have been a lot more knowledgeable about the subject it was focusing on. I know it is told from the point of view where kids don't know a whole lot about suicide, but I think because it is targeting an age group where they are very influential that they should have been a lot more cautious with how they did it. Many shows try to stay clear of touchy and controversial topics that ""Thirteen Reasons Why"" focuses on, and so I commend this show for breaking through that boundary that needed to be broken. It makes talking about suicide a whole lot easier and that is very important in this day and age. However, one of my main issues with this show is how they didn't address mental health . It had the chance to be a lot more educational. I see lots of posts where everybody is thinking she's being ""dramatic"" or ""over the top"", but that's coming from people who haven't been what she's through and can't feel what she's feeling. Its understandable why these people feel this way. Like I mentioned earlier, the show doesn't properly explain why by Hannah makes the choices that she does. It explains why she feels she makes the choices, but not the mental health at play. Something that the show could have had, is putting help lines at the beginning or end of the show. Overall I think this show is ground breaking and even though it is very difficult to watch I, think it is important for people to do so.",7 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳,10 "The first car chase scene is pure cringe. Just fast forward that bit. Ryan Reynolds is completely the wrong actor for this role. Makes the whole thing seem like a non funny comedy. It lacks depth and creativity. Apart from that it's ok, if your male and between 13 and 16 years old I guess.",2 "The title should be 'Plant Based The Walking Dead'. Nothing more nothing less. Just what we all need to see and what we have already seen again and again and again. Another end-of-the-world plant based zombie apocalypse story, based on a real badly rated children's video game! There is nothing original or new to this type of Si-fi genre. Terrible script. The script has been taken from a hundred other scripts all mashed together based on the same concept, again, ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When will the writers ever come up with original Si-fi concepts based on something else other than zombies. And the sarcastic flippant teenager character is just annoying. Like finger nails scratching across a blackboard. Extremely bad wring and extremely bad acting. A British actress trying to put on an American accent. Episode 3. Why????????????",1 "It's funny, the CGI is amazing in this movie and the team should earn a 10 star, however the leader who told them to make this movie realistic should work at Starbucks next. I'll give CGI team a 10 star and Disney and their leaders a 0, they've completely forgot what makes a great movie. I genuinly think watching Jordan Petersons Carl Ljung analysis of the original Lion King on youtube are waaaaaay more interesting than this movie, even for my future children... I rather explain Jordans perspective adapted to a give year old than letting my kids waste time on this movie. Whay happened to psychology in the world? The old Disney nailed the archetypes, the new are just clueless and greedy. Sorry Disney but it's 2019, people know you're buying successful stuff and messing them up, lucky Pixar still has guts to stand up to you.. And no Disney, people aren't stupid to fall for this for too many movies, there are 24 hours in a day anf people won't waste it when there are so many other great things to watch, some on Netflix, some on HBO and a lot of stuff that is free on youtube and has wsy better points than your new remakes. You're killing yourself on greed. Why am I telling you this? Cause I'm mad? No. I tell you this cause I care, I care that you're losing thr great people who actually made your movies great, jusy because you're stubborn and greedy. It shines through. If you actually dubbled the budget for this movie to make it just as great as the original, people would buy it and watch it for years. Now you see it once and miss the original.",2 "Do you agree? Frankly, I'm getting tired of that whole Sky/Daisy drama. She was a loving character, but now she's flat boring and utterly uninteresting. Plus, her looks took a major downfall since Season 1. The HYDRA subject is also washed up. Ward is unnecessary and painful to watch. I don't know for how long they're gonna linger that storyline. I personally wish if they would just end. I think this episode makes an excellent base for a new TV show. It's fresh, unexpected, interesting and exciting. I also hope we'll see more of Jemma/Fitz in the future, instead of Sky/Daisy or whatever her name is now.",10 "Some of the storylines are subtle tweaks of existing ones from The Boys, and one is the exact same way of defeating a villain as from S2 of the show. There really needed to be a lot more set-up and establishing of characters or relationships, much of which could've been fixed with different takes rather than longer scenes. Some of the tropes for specific characters, specifically Sam, are also complete lifts from the Boys. Fans of The Boys will be disappointed that there aren't really characters we root for here, either, unlike the Starlight or Hughie, or even Kimiko. Part of this means we have to acknowledge that these are younger, college-aged people who are going to make mistakes due to naïveté or lack of experience. There are some fun scenes and mainly a lot of expanding on the world-building of the Voughtverse. It's a show I'm glad exists, even if it's flawed. It leans pretty hard into diversity, which itself has its in-universe rationale, yet I kind of wish they'd spent the money/time to add in the CGI needed for one character's qualities in particular. I'm hoping it finds its footing, but I'm satisfied that I won't need more episodes to be sure of this rating.",7 "First of all, what is with the music? I felt like I was watching a mob movie while listening to the soundtrack of Bladerunner. Does. Not. Fit. And if you like movies where there is absolutely nobody with any redeeming qualities, and people just continue to make poor choices and continue to suffer the consequences of those poor choices, then this movie is for you. You know, like a Coen Brothers movie. Except that those are charming and funny. This, on the other hand, is mostly painful. It's a great movie that just forgot to include any great characters. Sandler does a fantastic job portraying his character, I just, you know, don't care. Because he's a jackass, and he continues to cause suffering in his own life. Keep it up! The only good choice in the movie is at the very end. If you haven't seen the movie, I won't say what that is, because, spoilers. But don't go thinking that there's some kind of redemption or growth in this movie, because you won't find that here. Uncut Rock is probably a better name. There are no gems hidden inside this.",4 "Ani is irritating, lying, two faced, selfish. Why would they ruin such a show with such a stupid character. Can't get to watch the season 3 no matter how much i try.",2 "I first started watching ""24"" this past year, during the middle of its 5th Season. My friends all watched it, and I heard enormous praise from anyone who followed the show, so I was at Blockbuster and decided to rent Season 1. It did not disappoint. 24 is one of the most creative and refreshing shows of the past five-six years. It has a very unique concept, great characters and amazing plot. Kiefer has been the MVP of the show and has created quite a following. 24 has become a cult phenomenon and recently has been signed to continue for at least 3 more seasons (so Season 6-7-8 are all signed for). I finished Season 1 in a matter of days (quite addicting) and got Seaons 2-4 I highly recommend 24 to anyone who asks about it. As to whether or not you start at Season 1 - it all depends on how much time you have. Renting the DVD's or borrowing them you can watch a lot of episodes at once without commercial breaks and eventually you can skip 5 minutes of each episode by fast-forwarding through the ""Previously on 24"" segments. 10/10, this show is absolutely amazing and I can't wait until Jack Bauer is back in season 6, kicking butt as usual.",10 "OK, so I was 7 when this show came out and needless to say, I was completely enamored by it. For a TV station like Nickelodeon, best known for its wacky shows like SpongeBob, Rocko's Modern Life and their sitcoms like Drake and Josh, to suddenly come out with this anime-inspired animated series with deep philosophical themes as well as tackling genocide and war, this was a massive step forward. Of course, this isn't the first form of media that has incorporated the power of the elements, but their method of how they do it here is remarkable. For every element to be adopted into its own nation, reflecting the psyches and philosophies attributed to the respective element is truly inspiring. All the characters are written for and performed expertly, save for maybe some of the guest characters (*cough cough* Jet). My favourite character by far is Zuko. The progression and development of this character is incredible and captures perfectly the transition from villain to antihero to hero. Aang is a good character too, but he's a bit of a goody-two-shoes half the time. Katara and Sokka are equally appealing characters, as well as Toph. The brilliance of this show is that it is perfectly paced. Sure, you get the occasional filler episode, but every episode (leaving out The Great Divide) has a purpose and adds more layers to this intriguing story and the world it is set in. Again, for a children's show to incorporate seriously heavy topics and still have a silly sense of humour is just impressive. I get annoyed every time someone stereotypes this series as just a 'kids show', brushing it off. This show can be watched by someone of any age, and that is one of the reasons I admire it so much. It's not pandering at all and tackles the heavy subject matter in a mature way. Sadly, after The Legend of Korra, Nickelodeon never seemed to follow in the footsteps of Avatar which I found upsetting. Kids need more shows like this, if I'm being honest.",10 "It's a perfectly good movie, if I had watched this without having read the book I wouldn't have minded it. However as someone who loves the book this movie is an absolute joke.",6 "Was very very disappointed with this movie. It just did not have anything going for it. I mean there were moments that were good. But you cant just rely on a couple of big moments to carry the entire movie. There wasnt a story. There were constant loopholes (like Thor's varying powers. He cant fight Thanos but a dying star light gives him nothing but a sun tan). Most importantly the humour was not working at all. This after thor ragnarok which just was awesome in ghat department. Overall i would say i was as disappointed with this movie as with BvS. I guess i wont be watching Avengers 4 as well. P.S. The critics reviews of Avengers infinity war make me skeptical. They may not be paid reviews, but i guess they are scared of giving a bad review to such a huge movie.",4 "10 minutes in the second episode, I am like ENOUGH, I have seen enough boring series to tolerate this as well. I will revisit later just because I seem to be alone in not linking it.",7 "This movie was incredibly boring. None of the songs were remotely memorable, in fact I've just finished watching the movie and I can't recall a single line from any of the songs within the film. It dragged on and I lost interest pretty early on. I don't quite understand the hype for this one, there's no romance to be found. Just two unlikeable characters whose stories are ultimately pointless. The best thing about this movie was the costumes.",1 I love this movie. One of in my opinion the best films of the super hero genre. The train scene still brings a tear to me every time I watch it.,10 "Did someone actually get paid to edit this film? You'd never know it. At 2 hours and 41 minutes, it moves slower than molasses with most scenes badly in need of trimming, while others could have been cut altogether. The finale is exciting, but it should have come an hour earlier.",5 Stephen King has just gone off the rails (or has run out of good ideas) with this ridiculous yarn. It was a waste of good acting talent. The whole idea of starting out with a no-nonsense lawman and slowly turning him on the out-of-your-mind spit until he was speaking psychobabble like everybody else in this dumb story. I couldn't make it past episode three. You know it's not scary anymore when you are laughing out loud at the lines these actors are being forced to say in furtherance of a cockamamie script. I gave 5 stars for the valiant effort the actors gave this piece of junk. Awful stuff.,5 "A group teenager beats up 100 years old super soldier, an experienced hero and a hypersuccessfull war veteran along with their allies. Involvement of unnecessary and funny politics. Nobility never looked like stupidity until this serial. Overall, plot is awfully terrible. Plot: 1/10 Acting: 4/10 Production:7/10 Casting: 3/10.",5 "I am happy this wasnt some drug lord in South America, i was very pleased with the indian aspect and i will recommend this to anyone who loves action films. Other than that you have seen this movie over and over before. Enjoy",6 "It's no secret that I absolutely hated the first film. But Spiderman 2 has truckloads more excitement, pathos and humor. Almost every area where the first film lagged in improved upon. Though I'm still not keen on Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker (not tall enough, too much of a geek) he was better in the role this time around. Though I'm not sure why he's still a total nerd. This is not how Peter Parker is portrayed in the comic books and it's weird that in the movie he comes across more like Clark Kent. The CGI effects are miles better too. Some shots still looked a little iffy, but rest was so seamless I never noticed. Granted, it would be hard to get any worse than effects in the original but I was genuinely surprised at how good they were. A lot more time and care as been put into arranging them than before. Alfred Molina as Doc Ock was a hundred what Willem Dafoe's campy, power-ranger Green Goblin was. You could tell that underneath he really was a good guy who was just too carried away with his work. He really did have a menacing presence in any scene featuring him with his extra arms (surely more resembling a spider Peter Parker). The earthquakes signaling his approach are very cool. The sequel has a more structured feel to it and has more inventive set-pieces. The first one felt like an empty showcase for effects but here they were integral to the story. I'm not keen on Kirsten Dunst though (she looks far too much like my ex). In the comics she is an outrageously proportioned and glamorous woman. I just don't see that in Kirsten Dunst. However, she really did get into the character and I believed in her relationship with Peter this time as before it felt like rejected sub-Dawson's Creek trash. Spiderman 2 is also made in widescreen, which is cool as I was disappointed at Sam Raimi's inexplicably shooting the original 'flat'. A movie of this scale deserves scope and size and this time we get what we should have got before. Considering how the movie has already earned $40 kabillion in 3 weeks you hardly need me to tell you to go out and see it. But for once the box office receipts are validated by a good movie. Look out for some funny in-jokes to Evil Dead and Bruce Campbell in a funny cameo as an obnoxious theatre usher.",8 Lol that's good but I also would have loved to see an umbrella dressed in an evening gown/tux on the red carpet going to the academy awards,7 "I just love how the people hate it when the Youtube rewind comes out, and swallow the same agenda in a Marvel outfit. The whole plot is non existent, spiked with some fanboy pleasing absurdity and the compulsory fake sciense which doesn't make sense at all. The main contradiction is in the overall mood of the movie. In one second they emphasize how terrible everything is, then next minute they come up with at best a nose exhaling joke. The only good thing was that Captain Marvel barely appears on screen. Huge missed opportunity of adding a Fortnite dance to the end of the great brawl, would have fit the spirit of the whole movie.",4 "I found Kung Fu Panda to be rather boring and very typical. The plot has been done many times and the other times it were done better. I also found the jokes and gags in this film to be way too childish and immature. I know its meant for children and younger teens but this film just didn't seem that great, and it also sends a rather bad message. Kung Fu Panda brings us absolutely nothing new. Perhaps it's me getting older, but the humor nowadays feels very shallow in these animated movies. And the almost non-stop violence, because there really is. I don't mind action movies, or even martial arts movies but this is clearly a movie with intended major demographics in ages 8-12, and hopefully a sizeable number of high school kids so the music and animation must be perfected. The characters were okay. Jack Black was the right choice for Po, along with the other cast but overall the film was for the most part plain boring.",3 "Spider-Man 2 took the entire box office and North America by storm when it opened last Wednesday. Not only did it break the record for the highest grossing opening day movie, but the movie itself was a complete success. The plot was awe-inspiring, the character's relationship build-ups were great and the action sequences were the greatest ones I've ever seen. I would have to say that the acting was amazing and that everyone who hasn't seen it should, because it is truly a movie to be seen on the big screen, not to be missed. P.S. DON'T BOOTLEG IT!!!! IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE SEEN ON TELEVISION!!!!!!!! Oh, and on another note, I don't care what people say about the movie and how it sucks or how it was a waste, these actors have talent and it shouldn't be wasted. So see the movie and I hope you enjoy it 5 giant stars",10 "First of all, those of you asking for ""your 8 hours of your life"" back need a reality check. What are you gonna do with them? Play video games in your mom's basement, I'm sure. Now, as for this series, what a load of cr@p. It's like watching a SiFi Channel movie from the 90s. Horrible acting, bad direction, no character development, PC casting...Caville sounds like Bale's Batman",2 "Bad casting, bad acting, bad writing. That pretty much sums it up. The writer of this one made a series of poor decisions when composing the screenplay and the show never recovered from them. Lost in Space is basically 'The Swiss Family Robinson', but in space. It's a story of persevering through adversity and survival. However, in this version, it's more of a family drama about why a family hates the father and how they learned to get over it. Could have taken place anywhere, didn't need to be in space. Too much of the conflict in this show is internal rather than external, which makes for a terrible survival show and turns what could have been a great experience into a mediocre melodrama. Also, I don't mean to nit-pick, but space shows should be intelligent and scientific. Anyone with a passing knowledge of space or physics will quickly realize that the writer of this show doesn't understand very much about either one, unfortunately. In the second season, the writers apparently tried to add more science into the first two episodes, but it was 7th Grade level Earth Science dealing with such concepts as 'what makes things float in water?' and 'How does lightning work?' Things that the Robinson family should already well know if they're supposed to be astronauts. The writing in this season, remarkably, takes a sharp nose dive from the first, something I didn't think was even possible, and the character's IQ levels drop lower than my expectations of the series. If you're brave or masochistic enough to make it to the end, you will surely find yourself asking 'How in the hell did this get made in to a TV show?' I honestly can't believe that this got the green light from Netflix and no one along the way stopped to say 'Hey ... this doesn't make any sense at all.'",1 "Prior to this movie, I had only known the basics of the Iranian hostage crisis. And honestly, I don't think this was the best portrayal of it. I know Hollywood loves to glamorize history but this seemed too far even for their standards. One thing I will commend is Ben Afflecks double threat status in this movie. He's not my favorite actor but I really liked his character and the depth he gave his characters. If it weren't based on a true story I probably would've liked it a little bit more. But the dramatization was just too much for me. It was interesting, however, to see the hostages and get a full grasp on the humanity of the situation.",7 "Difficult movie to get into due to Michael Bays typical style. There were some good action sequences and some funny moments, but it was all a bit too cheesy.",3 "This series is the most fun I've had watching tv in a long time! I've just finished the first season and can't wait to watch the second. It's so quirky and different to any other show and the characters are written and performed so well! If you like crime shows but also like something a bit lighter this is perfect. A good murder mystery, a great friendship and beautiful New York scenery. What more could you want!?",9 "In these days I rewatched the show, and I am newly amazed how fantastic movie it is. I have two thoughts about 24 to tell. Firstly, it is an action movie, but with a very strange, acentric structure: there is an endless line of adventures, there are at least three stunning turns in each episodes. In most of the seasons act several antagonists, too: when Jack killes one of them, immediately appears a new one. There is a new secret behind each secret, there is an evil behind each evil. The show is full of mistery, violence, sacrifice, changes of identity, upliftong, poignant and horroistic moments. Because these treats 24 seems to me being a modern Arabian Nights, a magical world, an inexhaustable array of miracles. Second speciality of 24 is that in this show each character has strong personality, identity, even thoses who appear on the screen just for some moments. Just one example. In episode 9. Of season 1. Jack takes a woman hostige. This hostige is a totally insignificant character, but you know surprisingly much about her: she has to stand trial for drunk driving, she has to nurse her desparately ill sister, therefore her husband left her. These lively, developed and interesting characters make the show more magic. Its world seems to be real, full of exciting details, it is worth to be discovered.",10 "An easy watch that reminds me Hollywood can pass on a little truth and pride. Altogether well oriented- Exemplifying dignity and morals by separating the heart driven characters versus the selfish/uptight moneymen.... & also showing that PG13 is a high standard in cinematic storytelling (Mangold must have a heart of gold). Matt Damon & Christian Bale had the love in their eyes as they played their roles with such grace.",7 "Don't watch this expecting a return of the old classic style or even anything like it. Sadly this is just a over done cheesy teen series. Obviously it's never going to match the old stuff but I was expecting this to at least be watchable and relatable to it. Gomez and Morticia are odd and not in a good way. Wednesday is overkill and pushed to the extreme of her character and everyone else is just cringe bad music and script maybe I don't know. Not a lot going for it other than the look of it they played too much to the ""teen"" thing it's horrendous. Thing is the only character that's awesome mainly because he doesn't say anything.",2 "A totally unique plot. Wanda got Vision with her vision. Isn't it? I am astonished by the fact that how much effort Marvel gives to making those episodes totally similar to 70s or 80s sitcoms. Hats off! Wanda Maximoff aka Elizabeth Olsen and Vision aka Paul Bettany! Wonderful acting! Their chemistry was so cool. Though the first 3 episodes were kinda boring to me. I know it was a wonderful sitcom and I am aware of the fact that these 3 episodes were the main path of the series. But don't know, I'm not enjoying these first 3 episodes.",8 "The first half was okay I guess - dull and soulless, but okay. Once the setting switches to nighttime, the movie becomes an incomprehensible mess. It's almost as if they ran out of money and had to somehow finish it anyway. Everything stopped making sense, one weird unrealistic scene just flows into the next weird and unrealistic scene and leaves you wondering: what the hell happened there? And why? The camera work and cinematics get a lot of praise, but it's not nearly enough to make this an interesting movie. Not with such a flat story, low budget effects and uninspired acting. Ultimately, I had a very hard time watching it to the end and what I saw left me disappointed.",3 "When I walked out after the movie was finished, all I could think was ""what the heck was that?"" I mean the cinematography was great, the effects were great... But the story... well not so great. It really fell apart in the third act with no explanation of how such unknown random acts would give them ""powers"" where earlier there was a whole process to lead them to them. Like I said, I guess I just didn't ""get it"".",3 "Well there are now three categories of film Good Films, Bad Films and those that really test your tolerance levels sadly this is the latter! What I don't understand is why all the hype? What is in the slightest way satirical about Nazism and the Holocaust. Of course, this has all been done before with both Mel Brooks The Producers and To Be or Not to be the difference being that both those productions were done with an element of taste. Personally, I'm convinced that both these productions were thrown in the dryer with a kid and a little bad taste and out popped JoJo Rabbit!...I Gave it 40 minutes and then went into the bedroom with a glass of wine and watched my paint dry.....a lot more fun!",2 "I am not familiar with the books or game. If I had started watching this cold I would have been delighted ! However, I saw something about it then looked into the reviews and I was all twisted with expectations and distraught over the first scene , assuming that I had missed something or should have known something , but anyway - I took a breath and started watching it. It's well done , has all the middle earth type elements and explores appropriate legend. people mention GOT well IMo this story could easily live In that universe , yet still , there is no reason to compare the two. I was slightly disappointed by a few cgi things, confused by a flashback and found myself wondering how much better the books might be, but that's to be expected when watching this genre and in no way does it detract from the story.",9 "The series is about a love story, and it was a different and beautiful story with good acting, mainly; I liked acting the main boy character. However, I think it is not what normal people do! It is an entire; un usually love story! What shows that wealthy parents do not mingle with family and are non-good at nurturing kids is clichés. I did not like some of the sexual scenes, and again it was not what normal people do. I wouldn't say I liked the ending. After all that happened and the ups and downs, I expected a happy ending, but I respect the writer's opinion. Overall, good series to watch, although some parts are unrealistic.",7 "Sorry, I despised this. I wouldn't normally review because I can't bring myself to watch the final episode, but I imagine it's more of the same rubbish that went before it. And it started so well. I really enjoyed the first couple of episodes, as Beth grew up. Alas, she grew up into such a thoroughly unpleasant individual who happens to be good at chess, and then spends several excruciating episodes associating with thoroughly hateful individuals who usually also happens to also be good at chess. The only remotely likeable character was her adoptive mother. Towards the end it turned into a sort of ""This is your life"" as every character she'd ever previously met turned up, one after the other; I rather hoped they'd all get together and all be killed by a simultaneous lightning strike. It didn't seem likely, so I stopped watching. Good opening episodes, and very well done in the mid-century settings are the redeeming features. Other than that, the cast of utterly loathsome characters made it difficult to watch for more than 15 minutes; then 10 minutes; finally I couldn't stomach more than 2 minutes before switching on the news.",2 "I don't understand why this movie got 9 rating. Me and my family had a hard time understanding half of the movie (and my friends too). Also the scenes are moving too fast, my eyes were burning from trying to follow all the characters movements. Last thing, how is possible that 1000 spiderman cannot catch 1 spiderman. They are supposed to be all spiderman so with an equivalent power. This is totally nonsense. I appreciate the first one but not this one And I don't understand the hype (or did Sony paid for fake 10 ratings reviews?) Maybe it was only me, but no, my whole family and friends too. Not sure I will see the next one.",2 "So far, LOKI has been lackluster. The writing is dry, the plot is ludicrous, and the acting is horrendous. I usually like the character Loki in the MCU movies, but his own show...yeah, that was a mistake. There are so many other characters that they could have introduced and did series on, but Loki? Nah, that was a wast of film...er...digital media. Hopefully, this turns out to be like Wandavision. The first 2-3 episodes on Wandavision were ridiculous...then it started getting good. However, I'm into the 3rd show, and this Bisha Ali (screenwriter), needs to stick with her day job (it lists comedian, I just hope she's funny, because the writing is atrocious). My toddler son could have done a better job with crayons and construction paper. If the series picks up, I'll revisit my review and edit. But for now, it scores low because it is... And as another reviewer said, you can't go by these reviews on here because they're bought and paid for, evidentially. Maybe they told the Disney Employees at the parks that they'll give them a bonus if they liked the series...I dunno.",2 One of the best thriller films from the tamil industry. Its a must watch who loves thriller films. No lags and film also comes with an unbelievable twist and its awesome. The actor also performed his role very well. One of my favourite thriller film,10 "I'm mystified by extatic reviews about this movie. Great acting all around, tragically wasted on an idiotic plot which becomes more predictable as the movie goes on, and indigent dialogues aimed at an audience not exceeding 15 years of age. Lots of noise about nothing.",4 "This satisfies 2 sides of you. Crime, suspense and intrigue and then the part that just wants to laugh and feel good. Best show I've watched in a long time. 10/10 easy.",10 "Repeated story with different actors. That kind of stories in which the main character has some issues about his girlfriend, wife, ex, whatever.. Those problems always lead him to his failure, which is mostly his biggest failure in his life career, then his journey starts. First, find yourself a new coach who will give him the cleaning job also by coincidence in his club. Then, he will train you in a way you champ, didn't ever see or expect to play with. Finally, play with the champion who beats everyone in your absence and by another coincidence he appears to be his enemy and they last in the match till the last round in the match, then you will win with a miracle like a big hit which will get the enemy down in the last second or whatever. We did see this kind of movie in something like Helm El-Omr, which I used to think is a comedy genre.",6 "This show has a super (no pun intended!) interesting concept. But it's very poorly executed. The plots and subplots are disconnected and confusing. The graphic violence & gore would be fine if paired with good writing, creative humor and some semblance of character development. Characters are killed off on a whim with no impact or emotion because they are all insufferable. The writers seem incapable of understanding how to build suspense or tension. I watched 8 episodes to attempt to give this series a fair shake as many have spoken highly of it and loved it. Unfortunately it is very poorly done. And not only that but it's extremely cringey. If you want to watch a smartly written vigilante show, try Dietland.",2 There is nothing about this film for anyone above the age of 12.,3 "Some great performances,Dicaprio particularly but the film is so dull,2 and a half hours of nothing happening. I love Tarantino but this is far from his best work",4 "It has to be said that Forrest Gump is a well made, feel good story and that's that. There have been a great deal of negative reviews(a lot by critics), criticising the films problematic message- that this supposed ""village idiot"" should become so successful and be a model to us all. They make claims ranging from the reasonable(that the film is overly sentimental) to the ridiculous(that it is a failure because it skirts around major issues like the AIDS epidemic or Watergate Scandal). Yes, I do think the film is overly sentimental, but at the end of the day, the film is just a piece of feel good cinema. It is a story of an extraordinary character, a man with very Low IQ, thrust into extraordinary situations. And whether partly through his agency, or through his circumstance, or through plain luck, he ends up the hero. I don't think the film is idolising him of trying to assert we should all be like him- rather it just tells a nice, heart warming, and even at times interesting story. If one were to see this film as a work where there is no profound political or philosophical message to be attained, then Forrest Gump is just an extraordinarily well executed and enjoyable piece of entertainment.",7 "*Review for season 1* When Garth Ennis said that The Boys would ""out-Preacher Preacher""... well, he was right. Maybe not in quality, but The Boys sure was a sick series, amazing and crazy also. The Boys was a different (but not that original) take on superheroes, presenting them as a bunch of psychos ('cause Ennins hates them), with an underground CIA team ready to take them off the map if they cross the line. The series managed to be horrifying and hilarious at the same time, developing a great history through it's almost 100 issues; and for me, a must read to all comic book readers. So I was quite amazed when this TV adaptation was announced because the trailer was pretty bad, and certainlly they wouldn't be able to be really faithful to the source material (because of the dark nature of it). Well, I certainlly was right... but also wrong. No, this is not a faithful adaptation, maybe not even a good one. One thing the show mantains is the name, but not that much else. The characters are different for the better (Hughie, the Female, the Deep, A-Train) and unfortunately also for the worst (Stillwell, Butcher, Homelander, MM, Frenchie, Queen Maeve...), with some of them being totally erased (the Legend, Terror, Jack From Jupiter). Not blaming the actors, all did a great job (especially Karl Urban and Antony Starr), but most of the characters were great from the start, so why change them that much? Maybe because this shows differs totally story wise from the comics. Now, I admire the risk of taking a different path, and so far this 1st season the history is great, but man, how tf they're going to continue it? They closed all the doors they could take if they followed the comic arcs, I think none of them will be used in the 2nd season (as almost none were used in this one), so i'm really worried for how the show is going to continue. I'd also like to mention how this show is lacking some blls. One of the hallmarks of the comic was the extreme violence. The show has some, but not really that much. Some people may say is better because the violence is the comic was pure shock-value... well that's true, but it was also used for a bigger impact in you, and for making you laught. The characterisic sick humour of the comic is also totally gone, maybe laughed 3 or 4 times, could they change that? Don't let my complaints intimidate you, this show is quite great. The timing for this to be released is perfect, considering we're living in a time were superheroe movies are the most successful and 90% of them suck, this show is a breath of fresh air, just as the comic was back in the day. Still hyped for season 2, let's see if they manage to not ruin this. 1st season rating: 7.8/10",7 "Stephen King's The Outsider is a masterpiece. It stands on its own without sensationalized pornographic meaningless content. There were no strip club scenes, strippers, or sex in King's book, but once again HBO treats the female body like an object quota. Each episode must have X amount of tits. Unfortunately, given each episode has a meaningless obligatory strip club scene for said tit quota and a purposeless graphic sex scene not in the book, it distracts and takes from the rising horror King so masterfully builds by interspersing it with sex. But of course, it's HB0.",1 "A mind blowing finale after the slight drop in Episodes 3 & 4! I was afraid that they will wrap it up with a green message, but they not only underlined the role of the totalitarian state, but also posed the more fundamental question of where is the philosophy of compromise leading us. In non-material matters we may try and stay vague on that, but in the material world the answer is clear: to catastrophe!",8 "The boys series is a very good and exciting series to watch, but there is a reason that I did not expect from the makers of this movie. The clothes of the heroes like Homelander were very basic and unprofessional, and special and beautiful clothes like the Avengers should have been designed for the heroes. Also, the visual effects and creativity in the decoration of the movie scenes were not great, but the whole series is very good and also has an interesting and exciting story. But this movie with this story and good actors, if it paid more attention to the decoration design and actors' clothes, it could have more excitement and attraction for its audience.",8 All the bad reviews are here for the untimely switching between current and past events but believe me when I say that you will love the series. I couldn't stop watching untill the whole series is over. What more to say.,8 I went to see this because of the hype just like dark knight and was so disappointed. It was boring just like dark knight and I'm NOT just a troll. Just not a sheep,2 "This film belongs to Anupam Kher. Such is his performance, that one feels anger, pity, sorrow and hatred alongside him. He creates sheer magic with his character (a meek, hardworking 50-something father of three) and nurtures it to what is befittingly a happy end. Khosla ka Ghosla is a quick witted, light hearted comedy/drama that has kept up to the potential of its star cast. Boman Irani (fresh of the success of Munnabhai) delivers yet another masterpiece. You try not to hate his character, but fail on every count. The surprise package of the film has to be Ranvir Shorey. He has grown by leaps and bounds as an actor and has matured immensely from his VJing days. He has essayed his role with a lot of self-exuding method and panache. Parvin Dabbas and Tara Sharma have quick sharp performances. As I mentioned, you really can't fault the star cast. If there is a downside to the film, it has to be in its appeal to the masses. This reflects in the film being an honest to goodness story that fails to connect with the everyday 'junta'. Indian cinema is coming of age and this is yet another step in the right direction. 7.5/10",7 "Seldomly the country of uncle sam made some great animation series like this. Unlike japan, which very identic with anime from a long time ago. But with avatar: the last airbender, i think america also have a high potential to create animation-series with good storyline. I hope another masterpiece like this will emerge from america or nickelodeon. Avatar: the last airbender right now definitely the best.",10 "I'm a big fan of Brad and Leo and their performance was brilliant, but the movie itself made me believe I was either high or drunk: there is no connection between scenes, there is no storyline and things seemed randomly built. I would not recommend this.",3 "My mom even hated it. I'm not just being an a-hole, this movie was AWFUL! Besides being boring, confusing and a mess to look at, it completely betrays the already tenuous rules of the universe. Example: pretty much the only constraint of Acio is that you can't use it on living things. If Newt can summon his pet using Acio, why can't he find Tina by saying ""Acio Tina""?",1 "1st season was pretty good. After that it's a downward slide into terrible acting and worse writing. By the end of the series, almost no character is likeable. What a wasted opportunity for something good.",2 A well weaved story how three friends on their journey to crack the World's second toughest competitive exam.,8 "It's definitely one of my favorite animated series. The best of anime shonen surpassing even Dragon Ball. Its texture, color and lines remain engraved in the mind, and together with what it already had (characters, adventures and scenarios) it complements to perfection its past and its future. Epic battles, whose missions were to save the world and the personal improvement of the characters, focus of his critics, but that without a doubt he overcomes with total facility becoming a completely alive legend series.",9 "I loved it. Great dark humor, provocative, and funny. Makes you truly relate to the protagonist and feel the hypocrisy and shallowness of today's society. I had nothing better to do, my train back home would leave in over 3 hours, so I just randomly walked into an 'Everyman' movie theater in Liverpool, England (nice little city btw.) right in time to get a beer and blindly enjoy this gem as the very first upcoming screening of a film I didn't know anything about. Couldn't have asked for a better surprise than this. Give it a watch and make sure to stay hydrated. I'd give it like an 8.5/10. !",8 "If you're looking for an action movie that portrays realism, tugs at your heart strings, or brings you closer to a loved one then this movie is NOT for you. It's full of adrenaline, funny one liners, unbelievable action sequences, and will change your opinion of magnets forever. All these negative reviews criticizing it for being ""action overload"" and ""without substance"" are absolutely right. That is the point of it. It was made simply for us to have fun watching. So kick back and have fun!",7 "I've seen the first three episodes and this is a show for everyone- very enjoyable so far. It's easy to watch, with a nice tone and upbeat storytelling, and of course the three main actors are excellent. They play really well off each other, and including Selena Gomez was smart! I get some Alex from Wizards vibes here which is a good thing, that was why we all fell in love with her to begin with. Rating it an 8 as I binged all three available episodes it kept my attention and made me feel general happiness which is a bonus in today's world! I like the main mystery, and I am wondering more about the story. They could move a bit quicker with actual pieces of the mystery though, a few more twists would be fine. It's not laugh out loud funny but I had several chuckles. Btw- the reviews here ? A bit much. The gushing, ""best-ever-show"" 10 ratings are all from one-show reviewers which is suspect of course. I'm sure Hulu had to put some money into paying three big name actors so trying to push this to a higher rating perhaps for popularity? It happens on here for most shows, but this seems to have more of those kinds of reviews than usual. FYI watch out for the ""only one show reviewed"" reviews. I wish they would let this one speak for itself, it's doing just fine!",8 "Way to have me completely question your plans with Star Wars, Disnay! Of ALL the stories you could have greenlit, why would you feel motivated to tell this? I couldn't make it through the first episode. I kept waiting for there to be a breaking of the fourth wall or some way this was at all relevant to the MCU. If I wanted to watch Bewitched, I would!",7 "Simple - you've seen it before storyline- that is just bulked up with product placement and over long action sequences (too many sparkly bullet shots in Italian opening sequence) . Really well shot but ultimately a boring film, that could have been a gem.",3 "Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a great sequel to the Marvel movie universe. This is not a direct sequel to The First Avenger, but rather the first Avengers. Great plot, especially for Marvel movies. One of the best films of the second phase of the Marvel film universe.",8 "NETFLIX literally went wrong here! False dhaka city view, horrible bengali accent (it should be Bangladeshi accent instead of kolkata) and many more. The only positive side of the movie is- It has Chris Hemsworth, nothing else. This kind of movie previously made in BD film industry just a lack of the tag ""NETFLIX"" on those. NF disappointed us after all!",3 "I am a huge fan of the original Iron Man, and was extremely excited about going to see this film! But alas, I was also extremely let down when I did. And while Iron Man 3 was not all the way terrible, mostly due to Robert Downey Jr.'s usual stellar performance, it certainly wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination! This installment tries to match the humor and heart that made the original such a standout success, but fails miserably with lame jokes (that come way to frequently), and ""touching"" moments that just come off as halfhearted and insincere a midst the never ending barrage of pointless, over the top action scenes (yes, even for the genre). The antagonist(s) of the film were a major disappointment. Trying not to ruin anything, it seems as though the films creators tried to invent a ""new"" superpower for audiences that are becoming more and more inundated with superhero mythology, and while their goal was a commendable one, their execution was sorely lacking. These ""new"" powers, which served as more eye candy than anything, just make absolutely no rational sense whatsoever(again, yes, even for the genre), and in the end, destroyed the ""willing suspension of disbelief"" which keeps us engaged in a story. But, in my opinion, the ultimate failure of the film was the ""plot"", which comes completely unraveled, and devolves into an utter mess by the end of the film. While I have to begrudgingly admit that I did enjoy one of the more original aspects of the story, which again, I won't go into detail about as to not spoil anything for those still wanting to see it, in the end it just wasn't near enough to save what promised to be such a great film. The trailer for Iron Man 3 did indeed seem to promise a rise from the ashes which was the franchise's disappointing second installment, but once again it just served as yet another example of a Hollywood that's become more obsessed with marketing than making quality films. And while it's not at all surprising, I for one loath the fact that this, at best, mediocre film made the money that it did, as it will only serve to reaffirm the consensus in Hollywood that things like storytelling don't hold a candle next the sheer visceral experience of huge explosions and corny ""one liners"", especially when they're filmed in 3D!",4 "Great show, I really enjoyed season 1 and 2. Hannibal is lightning in a bottle; so fun to watch, and such fun gory scenes, so well executed. In season 2 the show really hits it's stride with good complexity, good pacing, spectaciular gore, lots of Hannibal and lots of intrigue. I am not sure what happened, but the show falls off alot during season 3. The pacing goes, there are far too many long camera pans and slow, melodramatic conversations.. especially Gillian Andersons character and the Japanese character. The execution is much weaker, like they changed the editing or special effects team, and so is the gore. There is also much less of Hannibal. It wasn't awful, but was disappointing after 1 & 2. Definitely worth a watch.",9 "Secret Superstar delivers what was promised from its trailers, nothing more nothing less. The predictable story can be set aside as a mere tool because of the heart that was given to making this film. Amir Khan as the eccentric egoistic but a confused music director is hilarious but even in front of such an actor, it is Zaira Wasim and Meher Vij that shines throughout the film. After Dangal Zaira has shown a promising future as actress in here. Meher Vij is a revelation; Bollywood has never utilized her like this before; Her character as the mother of the titular character is the role that is most close to my own mother that I have seen in a film. Amit Trivedi's music has been perfectly blended into the narrative so that the music and the scenes perfectly compliment each other.",7 "Personally even with all the new stuff coming out of Disney/Marvel, this is still the best TV show Marvel has done. Only slightly trumps Daredevil just because of the heart and characters! It's a yearly re-watch! And I love the ending! I just wish Disney Marvel would carry it on some way. Fitz/Simmons are the heart of the show, I see it as their story more than Skye/Daisy's. And I'd love to see more of them. Plus what happens with Coulson needs to be rounded off, cos leaving it open ended is annoying. If we're to believe the MCU version that S. H. I. E. L. D has gone, then we need clarification how this works in the universe.",10 "I've been a fan of the show up until the last episode. I really liked the first one and it makes you consider all your actions and how they could be taken by someone else. It has a great motive, besides making money. I liked the second season and thought it was better than the first, that is until the last episode. I think the warning on it needs to be a lot larger, for sure. Having the warning throughout the whole season is understandable, but if you're going to be putting in something as disgusting and graphic as the scene in the bathroom, you should do much more! It should not have been added to the season. It's definitely a scene that should have been removed. I don't believe they thought about how that will influence kids. It's putting this idea in their heads. It's not telling a story. It's creating them. This show started off as a way to prevent bullying and suicide and turned into an instruction manual. Horrific, shameful, and distasteful.",5 "The Lighthouse has a very interesting premace. The two leads are very good in their roles. I didn't mind the aspect ratio nor the black and white filter, but the movie just wasn't exciting enough for me I guess",3 "Soooo many things in this movie do not make sense, periods of time just disappear, on a tight timeline mission to save over 1000 soldiers, but entering into hazardous situations that could have.been bypassed time and again. What the he&% is with the singing in the woods!?! River rapids that suddenly appear, a waterfall, and then calm water again? Really bad writing! Wasted 2 hours of life that I won't be getting back! Cinematography was good tho.",3 Farhan Akhtar's outstanding performance (the actor gave his blood n sweat into the character) and he emerges out to be the soul of the movie physically and mentally.,10 "Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a fantastic sequel, one of the best sequels of all time and hands down the best Marvel sequel, it takes the MCU to a dark place that it's never gone before and is one of the most grounded and mature MCU films. Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan smash it and it has one of the MCU's scariest villains in the Winter soldier, every line of dialogue is great and it's also a really funny movie, the character of Falcon was introduced and had a hefty amount of screen time, but he never took away from the main narrative and let Bucky shine. This movie also has enthralling action sequences that are even better than the first films, the camera work is great and the music is thrilling. It also has some of the best character development and conflicts in the MCU and has some of the highest stakes in any Marvel movie, there were multiple times in this movie where I thought Captain America could die. The story is political but not that kind of political if you know what I mean, it completely grounds these characters and is an amazingly serious movie. It's a fantastic sequel, and I'm gonna give it an A. 👏",9 This show covers almost everything! It doesn't directly give you all the answers.. with aesthetically pleasing scenes and metaphorical expressions of wills hallucinations just sucks you into the fannibal fandom!,10 Why the hell they made season 2 and 3. I was in love with season 1 but season 2 sucks and i didn't even considered to watch season 3.,1 "The story of the film, like most superhero films, is weak and the script has nothing to say and has a weak process that does not tell any particular story to the viewer. Its only advantage over the previous part is the initial part of the film, which has a relatively good comedy, but the further the film goes, the more it disappoints the viewer, and ends with a weak and amateurish battle.",4 "Literally the only thing I remembered from the first movie was the after credit scene. I thought that carnage could make it better. It actually made it so much worse... I really don't understand how they made it worse. Lots of action was cool, I guess. It was like a Michael Bay film, explosions, action, bullets, guns, smashing stuff, cgi, etc... I thought for some reason Woody Harrelson would make it better, but it did not. Worse than the first. It tried to be even more of an action movie without all the dumb ""comedy."" Well... it's still dumb, but without the ""comedy."" Its trying to make a hero out of Eddie or Venom even though it makes no sense. Carnage is supposed to be a an evil super-villian that's supposed to be even worse than Venom, but Venom isn't really bad, Carnage, really isn't that bad either. So so bad of a movie. Please Sony take over this IP so Spiderman can be involved because it's so so bad.",1 "I can't believe I haven't seen a movie for two weeks. I've been waiting for this movie to release, and watching this movie was like having an orgasm. All the pent up energy finally found a channel to flow! This is an absolute cult movie. Anurag Kashyap kicks ass! Smoke, Drugs, Alcohol, Sex...what more could you ask for? (Did you shout Murder?) A heartbroken, drug drowning mans' journey from one woman to another in a modern Delhi is portrayed in a classic style and verve. This is what Bollywood cinema has come up to, and I'm very happy. This movie is like a bunch of random ideas put together. Mixing facts with fiction, weaving practical jokes and making a movie on sex is hard enough, let alone making it commercially viable. If you're in distress, if you like getting high, if you like gaudy imagery or if you appreciate real art, in its most raw form, this movie is for you! Abhay Deol as Dev is a phenomenon. There is going to be a generation of druggies and jilted lovers who would want to look like him when they break up or when they get high! He has absolutely rocked the screen with his aggression! Paro and Chanda, the two women in the life of Dev...who were portrayed rather meek and submissive in the earlier versions of Sharatchandra Chattophadhya's Devdas, are evolved characters in this movie, with their own egos, whims and fancies, and sexual needs. I fall short of words when I describe the music of this film. I've been going over the tracks again and again for over a month now, and I still can't get enough of them. Amit Trivedi has done a wonderful job with his 18 tracks. My God, I 'm so happy I waited out for this movie, and it did not disappoint me at all! Rate - 4.5/5 Trivia - Anurag Kashyap's guest appearance in the movie? He is Kalki's customer before Abhay.",10 "This movie was unnecessary, and frankly a bit dumb. It does an awful job following the source material and neglects the Spider-Man relation entirely. It doesn't even take place on the right city!",4 "Steven Sodenbergh is definitely one of the favourites of modern day filmmaking. His filmography is vast and epic, providing a rich collection of riveting high dramas and satirical commentaties. This one falls more into the former category, and is very well written and put together at that. The cinematography, cutting and editing is incredible, as one would expect from such a great director. The actors all do an incredible job, accompined by an incredible script, and it is truly some of the best performances of their careers. Overall, a beautifully put together piece that is of course very much recommended for any lover of film, as attested to by its awards.",9 "I am a marvel fan and just seen Venom it was ok, nothing special, a few laughs. Special effects was good. Nothing much happened in the story. A very average movie.",5 "The whole movie does not care anywhere of plot logic. So if you do not care either and are not watching with your parents (pointlessly embarrassing language and nudity). You might be one of those here, who like the movie. Congratulation! But otherwise, just turn off as soon as you have seen ""enough"" (this only needs a few minutes). In particular because the evil side is just a collection of EXPLICIT prejudices about a ""primitive old white man"" (who more or less behaves like an ape) breaks the whole movie atmosphere. And plot holes on the ""good side"" do the rest. The whole plot makes no sense, except we assume the main characters are dumb like a fish. Maybe they are! But I hate such plots. This is not forest gump! This is far from being a good move, no matter what ""noble spirit"" they want to sell here.",2 "Potentially the most overrated program I have ever seen, it beggars belief that this is a more critically acclaimed program than Dexter, Arrested Development and The Sopranos. Benedict Cumberbatch is a one dimensional stick of an actor and Martin Freeman is equally poor. Very mediocre series in my opinion. Beyone this I think Benedict Cumberbatch is a one dimensional stick of an actor and Martin Freeman is equally poor. Very mediocre series in my opinion. And equally so Benedict Cumberbatch is a one dimensional stick of an actor and Martin Freeman is equally poor. Very mediocre series in my opinion.",1 "It is unbelievable that this film has received such accolades by reviewers. It is as if the film itself is trying to practise in real life its own concept: planting in the viewer's mind from the inception that it has extraordinary merit. This must be the ultimate film business gambit and possibly the most daring ever tried in film promotion history. Surrounded by mind-numbing images and eleven-dimensional sound you are told a hundred times every minute what a great film you are viewing. Just look at the audience when you go to see it (as I am sure you will): they looked bored and perplexed but have arranged their faces in expressions of seeming appreciation in fear of being thought of as square, to use and old beatnik term. This would be the dullest film I have ever seen, almost anyway, and everyone I spoke to - even strangers - after the showing said that from its INCEPTION they could hardly wait for it to finish. Money has scaled new heights of desperation to be made. Shame on all the actors who contributed to this disgraceful exercise in megalomaniacal money-making!",1 "What did they want to tell with this story ? I watched it so that I can follow the mythology of X men, but if they keep on making crap like this I think I will stop watching. The movie is just violent, and the characters are just into violence. There's no action. Only violence. The characters are only there to perpetuate violence, and I didn't like that at all. Maybe a little more plot and story telling next time. But for me I don't think there is no next time.",1 "What a way for the MCU to return! Marvel have clearly set their sights on the weird and wonderful post-Phase 3 and what a way to start! Wandavision is by far the most out there MCU project to date. As I'm sure many reviews cover, it is a slow burner initially but a worthwhile watch for anyone who's invested in the previous 23 films for the plot points, easter eggs, and character developments alone. Sadly, as the final episodes approach I'm sure you'll get the feeling 'how will they resolve all this with only a few episodes left' and, whilst most of the threads tie up nicely, you'd be right as much of the ending feels quite rushed and inconclusive. The visuals are great and the quality of the series feels a lot closer to the films when compared to the previous Marvel Netflix shows, although the CGI is slightly over-ambitions at times. I'm not sure how well the series would translate to your oblivious viewer who may have stumbled across the show on the 'What's New' section of Disney+, however, as primarily the plot is drip fed to the viewer, ultimately creating more questions than it answers; setting up future installations on the big and small screen I'm sure. The series is also heavily reliant on at least a fundamental understanding of the key events of the MCU timeline, especially for many of the emotional moments to land... an unfair criticism possibly, but a warning at least. I'd definitely recommend to any Marvel/ comic book fan although I'd watch a refresher on YouTube before diving in. Enjoy.",8 "I love Harry Potter. I have all the DVD and I have watched them several times. So much so that some are terribly scratched. So when the movie came out I went to the movies right after work on Friday afternoon. I love the story, the idea, the simple plot and the special effects. And my favorite characters were not the people at all. But, all the beasts themselves. The movie overall is good and entertaining, but many times the transitions from one scene to another didn't make a lot of since. It seemed to jump from one place to another. (Making the movie a bit longer would have corrected this) The chemistry between the main characters there was very little. Except for Dan Fogler and the pretty lady that can read his mind Alyson Sudol. (It was good) I find as in the book it is missing the friendship deep felt love for each other. But, the movie is good and I'll watch it again.",5 "I am not always a huge fan of the British, not because some of them aren't good, just not my cup of tea! I wanted to see what all the buzz was about so took a chance on this Netflix addition. The characters a little awkward at first, but quickly change your perception towards them. Certainly not your warm and fuzzy type of characters, but again you quickly warm up to them. Alex Lawther as James hits a home run and his co-star Jessica Barden a triple. James is on a mission growing up a very strange young man he has an ambition to kill a human being. Alyssa shows him attention at school looking for someone different to hang out with, and thus starts the series premise. Its a great ride as the two embark on an adventure and meet up with some other quirky characters along the way! Quite a ride and well worth taking the journey on, most episodes are short and easy to binge. This was one series I was glad I went aboard and went along for the ride as disturbing as it was at times.",8 "It looks great. This movie is about technology that they use to go inside minds. Not about people. I already don't remember who is everyone. What motivation did they have and why. Are there any lessons in the end? I'm not saying there should be. It's just.... I don't remember. I did not feel much watching this movie. I really tried to understand why most people like it so much. And unfortunately I just wasted my time.",5 "The first episode held my interest even though I'd findi myself overlooking the more juvenile aspects. But about 15 min into the 2nd episode it became such a turnoff, that's what I did. Turned it off never to go back, onward and upward.",3 "Every 2 minutes they put a joke, if you remove all the funny parts of the movie you will be leave with as much as a half an hour of pure bad jokes. Also the jokes are for a public of children, like when you hit with something and that makes a child laugh, that is what this movie is.",3 "Best change up movie . The scene of discovering their character change ups is very realistic . And So funny , and all characters is perfect , even the babies. I enjoy watching it every time.",7 The scenes in this movie are deadly realistic. Best movie ever seen by me. Indian Army- The Best.. Jai Hind,10 "A really enjoyable horror movie. It is well paced and atmospheric. The whole cast are impressive. Effects are good, especially considering the budget. Genuinely creepy and jump scares abound. Reminds me of how good horror films used to be whilst remaining modern and relevant. It's an interesting premise, not seen anything quite like it before. Got a few twists. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. I will eagerly await what the directors do next, and will watch out for the cast in other things. If you like it creepy give it a go. There have been some very average horrors out in the last 12 months, this one is a cut above.",8 "Another 'American-way' film. The only difference with all the others that have been released in the past, is the less American flags waving. The main theme of the film is still the good American soldiers that try to save the poor Iraqi from the bombs. Another 'epic' story of the young brave American soldiers. Oscar academy, once more, blessed native American patriots! It is not at all a film against the war. On the contrary, it's a film excusing and giving clues for war continuing. Another story with bad bad Iraqi bomb planters. (since they have not the ability to plant flowers, they plant bombs for fun). But, thanks God, the Americans are there to save the situation and kill some bad guys!(once more)",4 "Wow. Lots of Amanda Seyfried haters here. Ignore them and judge for yourself. Frankly, she's a very accomplished actress and interprets this role with aplomb. I think you'll enjoy it.",6 "Another movie that proves that rich corporations just randomly pushing buttons and get profit just because of the size alone. It's amazing how 150 mil spent brings this forgettable, faceless, snooze of a movie",4 "This is a great show, based on great characters. An absolute joy to watch all the way through, the story flows forward with passion and excitement. Watched this with my son and we enjoyed it together. We agree on 10 Stars.",10 "Great performances by Madden, Rundle and Hawes as were all. No set snafus detectable. Last episode unfolds a bit slow for my tastes but a nail biter to the end with a twist or two and perhaps a surprise. Kudos to all! Renewed my faith in the Brit Flick.",8 "I wasn't going to watch this, but i asked the board about it , and someone said- parts are ""hilarious""..... (my op.)there is nothing hilarious in this movie, I watch a lot of comedy...this movie is in NO sense of the word a comedy ...even a dark comedy What I got from this movie ""S.L.P"", ""how to deliver funny lines with out being funny"", there are opportunities for hilarity but NEVER capitalized on , every possible funny line is delivered with the highest level of ""deadpan""... it is the straight man delivering the punchlines, which i Have seen work, but not here. it IS some sort of romance, maybe a good one --i don't review romance-- It IS also a drama, maybe a good one --- i don't review drama-- so , watch it , and you decide..... now just start the movie",3 "I can't give enough comments on this, It is just normal to say it's an Ok series to me, Amazon still cannot par Netflix on best ones.. But like I said it's just ok.. I enjoyed but there's a lot of unnecessary scenes that are irrelevant to the main Story plot..",8 "I can't stand the MCU. It's boring, it takes itself too seriously and it is riddled with crap. Venom and Venom Let there Be Carnage has some pop and some personality. If you like the first one, you'll like the second one. If you think that the over rated garbage like The Avengers is awesome, you'll probably pop your zits and rub one out before you watch this. It's not perfect but it's a lot more entertaining than the rest of the MCU.",7 "Quit the movie halfway through. At 1 hr I still couldn't figure out who all the players were, at 1 hr 15 I realized I didn't care. Pretty people though.",3 "Nh 10 is a well acted thriller which is cold and brutal and has an impact on the audience Flaws: they are any it is cold,brutal and emotional ride and brings out everything you expect out of a crime thriller. However in my opinion there could have been more action in this movie in other words something which could have created much more suspense in the atmosphere Story: the story moves in a quick pace. It may seem slow in the beginning but moves into a suspension atmosphere. I won't reveal any spoilers in the story just know that it is a thriller which has an impact Music: there wasn't much music in this movie. Just at the end is song which has an impact with the story Acting: acting was excellent. Everyone did their part in the movie doing their best to bring character to life. Anushka Sharma is very effective in this role. Her expressions, her tone was very efficient,quick and brings the character to life. Neil's acting is basically being seen because of Anushka Sharma's. Darshen Kumaar gives a very convincing performance. Deepti Naval has a cameo role but leaves an impression. Overall Nh 10 is a well acted, well deserved crime thriller which gives out what you expect of it.",9 "Am I watching another tv show? Why does it have such high reviews?? I mean, it started promising but then it quickly became so lame it was really hard to keep watching. The romantic story is boring, predictable and nonsense. I'm sorry for Matthew Goode (that I usually like) but the figures of every character is a joke on the flattest script that I have ever witnessed! The photography is not bad, and there are a few tracks of the soundtrack that I liked and that fitted with the scene, but for the rest it was a painful experience watching it. NOT recommended unless you want to watch something even worse than Twilight.",1 Are the writers obsessed with torture? It's so excessive in this season. It's not entertaining to watch children get hurt over and over. No thank you.,5 "Let just say its a flick that you can kick. Overrated on IMDb. why? 1.Way out of the comics plot line or we can say not real iron man(IM) MOVIE but it's more like IRON LADY in the end. 2. A Villain u don't see coming literally..c'mon be true to ur trailers at- least. It feels Like cheated after watching it. 3. Not a bad ass iron man, not a geek one either, not even the playboy charm.. but a puny & lame one.why?? he CANT defeat a villain with magma like powers even with 10+ different suits, wasted all around, see i don't buy it IM is a geek, can't build a freeze ray gun & integrate it with the suit, it'd be so Dumb in the movie, he has it in the comics already. 4. Lastly they kept the heartiest nature of IM to impress small kids 5-10 yrs old. May be they're the target audience.",2 "A good deal of the raves for this film seem to come from the camp of Batmaniacs, and that's perfectly okay and understandable. I've always thought the character of The Batman was cool myself, and I enjoyed Tim Burton's 1989 take on the ""Dark Knight"". What a pity it is that in the aftermath of this new overrated Nolan film, it sure appears that Burton's movie is going to be put out to pasture. Never under-estimate the power of further remakes and re-imaginings to have a potential to dim the lights of an older favorite in the public's eyes. Thankfully, this is a rare occurrence but it seems to be happening here. I'm just a casual fan on this subject so I'm afraid that all the praises of how ""this is BATMAN done right!"" fail to impress me. Oh, I certainly prefer a more dark tone to the character and I was grateful that Burton's version went back to that deeper angle, but I think BATMAN BEGINS goes too far with the bleak tone at the complete expense of any kind of camp or fantasy at all. Christian Bale comes across initially as a very good man for the job of portraying Bruce Wayne, but after a while his shtick as the costumed Batman becomes a little overdone; it's overly dramatic when he continually roars with authority, or utilizes that deep-throated and unnatural whisper of his. I have nothing against an angry Batman - in fact, that's one of the things I did like about this rehash - but must he always sound so ""put on""? I love Michael Caine and thought he was a natural choice for the new Alfred, but he seemed to be under-used in this film. The much-anticipated fight scenes were ruined. It was impossible to comprehend what was going on in any shot, and the result was like watching one huge, muddy blur. Likewise, the movie's too long (so what else is new?), and the over-abundance of a nonstop barrage of action later in the film is an assault on the senses and comes off as a bore rather than a thrill. When will Hollywood today learn that overdoing mind-numbing action sequences and effects actually have the opposite desired effect? I kind of objected to the horror movie approach to many moments, making me feel that I was watching a demonic possession flick like THE EXORCIST at certain points. Or maybe it's just me. Now, I've come on pretty rough with this movie but it's not unwatchable by any means. I liked the way we get to see some of Wayne's training, which helps us better relate to how he's able to fight crime as strongly as he does. There was nice attention paid to the troubles of Bruce as a boy. Cillian Murphy was a properly despicable baddie. I just would have liked a little more of the tongue-in-cheek gadgetry and eccentric villainy to compliment the tragedy in Bruce Wayne's psyche. This was not the Bat Cave I would have preferred, and the tank in the film is just not the Batmobile for me. Hell, I even missed the bat poles or bat chute. Burton's films had some of this in their mix, while still concentrating on Batman as a complex, disturbed figure. I also much preferred Burton's vision of a Gothic Gotham City as opposed to this more sterile, high-tech approach. **1/2 out of ****",6 I was told loosely based on true incident. When i did some research i found most of the instances actually happened. I have been following the director after fandrey. He has a great insite into the living of people forgotten by the system. Thanks to the producers and director and actors for making this film possible while most of mainstream producers are busy making commercial movies.,10 "I love Tom Cruise and Miles Teller and Jon Hamm. ""Top Gun: Maverick"" is watchable because they're in it. Otherwise, it's U. S. Armed Forces porn and propaganda. The Oscar nominations are likely deserved for sound, editing, and visual effects. But best screenplay? Yes, there likely was one, I'll give them that. But surely there was at least one that was better than this. And then there's best picture. I think the word ""best"" must mean something different to me. Watching Maverick riding super-fast on his motorcycle, too macho to wear a helmet, is exciting when he's in his 20s, but when he's over 60-years-old? Kind of sad.",4 I can't understand the hype surrounding this in my view terrible excuse of a film. I was offered to watch a pre screening months ago with 5 of my friends we're all 19 and clearly the 'target audience' and yes there were some funny moments but otherwise myself and my group of friends thought the film was complete rubbish. I wouldn't say it was 1 out of ten but it wasn't far off. Go to the movie if you must but i can't understand why anyone would come out of there and think wow thats almost as good as American pie because there is absolutely no comparison between the two movies whatsoever! If you want to watch a FUNNY movie watch napolean dynamite or anchorman something that is at least amusing,3 "This movie is just a parody of gangstar life or whatever, it's funny, memorable, and memed to death. Also the whole Suitcase concept is just retarded, I can't believe how much ridiculous theories it got.",6 "13 years and in the end all we got was a national geographic lesson? Poorly told story. The writers seemed to have forgotten the plot behind the reincarnation of the already vanquished general. The explanation of their existence to defeat Jake Sully makes no sense. 195 minutes of boredom. The animals carried this movie more than the characters. Why did the generals son suddenly start showing the general the way of the avatar. Why would they go through all that trouble to become avatars if you were not going to use it to your advantage. So many unanswered questions for the 3rd part? No thank u.",2 "Ok so this is another women empowerment movie where the heroin has to be nasty and egocentric in order to show strength.. the story is immersive but the cast are not doing their best. I loved watching a few episodes but then I had to stop, and I have no motivaiton to continue the show thanks to the boring chess and drugs scenes. Does the show promote drug abuse? kinda.. Does it show insecure/ rude/ annoying/ anti-social/ vain female as empowered? 100% ... Another political compilaiton of netflix, better waste my time on something more imaginative and creative than a lazy movie trying to provoke/ insult the female audience in order to grab their attention. I'm all for female power, but not through insecurity and magically inheriting knowledge without learning .. c'mon writers, you can do better! Also when you show a female character so smart and strong yet looking down on others for sociallizing and doing sterotypical female behavior aka social clubs.. that IS SEXISM!!! + we don't like strong egocnetric male characters, so why do you think a female character can't be lovable and strong at the same time? sounds sexist!",2 There is a fine line between artful pulp and gimmick and unfortunately this was too much on the side of gimmick. On top of that it was overlong and never really got off the ground despite having plenty of time to do so. Average.,5 "I usually like the type of films that are off beat (See my vote history), yet this one just didn't catch me. I don't know why, I see how everyone else likes it and everything. I think the film ""Millions"" should be in its spot. But there it is, sitting in the top 250. It really just didn't have the cinephotagraphy that I expected and the plot wasn't very good (I know that that's what everybody's saying was the best part; I beg to differ). Also, I hate how this movie was advertised to be a comedy. Especially with Jim Carry (although I have to admit he did a great job in the crossover). I thought this would be more like a thing where the main character played by Jim Carry loses every memory of everything bad that ever happened to him and so he walks the streets like an idiot thinking nothing bad's ever going to happen. So, I was geared up for a comedy and got more of an abstract type of film. Prehaps it was all in the advertising.",4 "Incredible action sequences & use of so many characters while always focused on the title character. The ethical questions posed are fascinating.

How come no one has thought of this before? I am a fan of (some) of the super hero movie / TV show genre, but this is a breath of fresh air and one of the most realistic depictions of how society would actually be if such ""species"" existed. It got me hooked from the start; it's entertaining, shocking, twisted, great characters and even though it gets a bit graphic / suggestive in many scenes I always felt (up until recently) that it served a higher goal, the shock factor of what these ""people"" are actually capable of doing and of course the analogies to the world we are living specially in the US, right on the spot . The major villain is outstanding, I don't remember hating so much a character in recent years and also at the same time making the audience actually fear for whatever other character he is interacting with, given how unexpected the series is and how psychotic the character is, there is this amazing tension every time that he appears, amazingly done. With that being said, I am feeling, having watched all 3 seasons, that the magic of the early ones is fading away... Within the show context for the most part I found that what happens is fairly realistic and based on how they build up and introduce the characters and the super heroes I would have already some expectation based on that and there are many parts throughout the show where it becomes a little bit foggy and questionable how people with no super powers manage to escape such extreme scenarios, I felt there was more than one occasion where the main guys and girls could easily be wiped off yet they magically got away. And it gets worse in the last season, not only it becomes way more graphic and weird for no good reason but also the last episode had so many nonsense things happening I would even argue that the ultimate goal of the main characters could've easily been achievable based on the events that took place yet they seem to drag it out for another season... It seems to have become slightly more goofy and filled with a lot of actions that seem way of character for a lot of the protagonists. I was ready to give a higher score but I need to wait for the next season to see.",9 "great but should have some different unique story or should have introduced this season before the launch of silicon valley. the story is the same In the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley, the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success, but the characters aspects are same except their faces. difference about this show is its improved direction, better storyline, original music and decent dialogs. Also the actors fit the role and their acting is satisfactory. The storyline is interesting, comical and also realistic which is a rare find in the Indian television industry. good luck guys you know how to execute an idea but you do not have any original idea.",8 "I like everything about this series from casting to the bad side of heroes. Well, the comics were wide received. And Amazon chose to make a show out of it. Though there are some changes in the character's gender, storyline, etc. But the way they have executed is mind-blowing. Season 3 was the most anticipated one, but every episode was worth the wait. I like the way the series is going. Looking ahead to season 4. Must watch, great acting, VFX, casting, screenplay.",8 "While La La Land is certainly entertaining, it isn't up to the level of expectations that critics and awards have been creating. The first half hour suggests that this is going somewhere fun--among others, the scene of Gosling playing the 80s piano man at a pool party is hilarious--but then it turns out to be an emotionally flat movie. Gosling and Stone are great actors and superb at their jobs but... the script turns out to have no ""tension"" and you find yourself not caring for whatever happens to them. Regardless of how much you may enjoy the dancing scenes (which are clever to be ""correct"" and cool), Emma Stone can't sing and I felt embarrassed at times; Gosling didn't bother me as much but the songs are really not interesting or catchy, I can't remember any of them so as a ""musical"" I'd say FAIL (of course, I hadn't watched the trailer a zillion times). The only scene were I could feel some emotional involvement with the story was at the very end with the ""parallel story"" thing... I truly cannot understand all the accolades it is getting from movie experts, unless they are all falling for its Hollywood nostalgia... as one critic said, it's the endless story about Hollywood in love with itself.",5 "Let me list the ways in which this film bites. When you're relying on a few actors to carry the film, you need to make sure you get the casting right. Mistake #1 in a long list with this movie. Neither of the main characters look like they've climbed an indoor climbing wall, let alone a cliff or tower. They'd be better suited to a B grade slasher film. And , if you want us to care at all about the characters then they need some redeeming qualities. Neither do. #2 I've seen better green screen effects on an iPad. The early climbing scene was laughable. #3 The vultures. Maybe this is meant to be a B grade horror. It's getting hard to trust this site when you see such an obvious bomb like this getting 9 & 10 star glowing reviews.",2 "I really don't get all the negative reviews. The acting is decent, even good. The script is not bad at all, although there are pretty common lines here and there. But that's ok, not every line needs to be original. The effects are great and the story is interesting . In my opinion, these are the criteria which I use to choose what to watch. Edit after the 3rd seasons: I'm really glad they didn't bash the main white male, like a lot of series and movies have been doing in the last several years. The show is getting a bit boring, to be fair, but it's still better than the woke series, movies and shows that exist. I just hope if there is a 4th season, they will go deeper in the plot, with less emotional damage. It's been a drama for the last 1 and 1/2 seasons. We, the fans, need more space action!",8 "The makers completely lost it while making season 3. A murder suspense psychological thriller became a mystery and fictional / philosophical I dont know what. Honestly I feel that Meds Mickelsen was a miscast. May be coz no one can play Hannibal Lector better than Anthony Hopkins, or may be he was too good looking for the role and also he didn't do justice acting as Lector. Disappointing end to what could have been a fascinating series.",6 Its rare for me to not finish a film I've started even if I'm not enjoying it I would usually labour until the end but this was lacking humour (and at no point has me near laughter) and too contrived for me that I stopped it at the one hour mark and deleted the file. Regardless of how the final half would transpire nothing would save the impression caused by the disappointing first half or the accents which did not know what they were and resembled a finger painting of something indecipherable. Decidedly unfunny; Taika's worst film.,1 "Disney, stop with the social justice pandering. I don't believe the vast majority of viewers enjoy watching something that constantly slams them over the head with politically-fueled messaging. I like Sam as the next Captain America.

I'm sad to see these awesome characters be placed into such a pitiful excuse for storytelling.",5 "I've loved musicals since my mom took me to see West Side Story as a kid (even though I hid my love for them as I was a death metal drummer back in the days). I loved the story, and the visuals, costume and camera work. But the music itself is to modern and to studio sounding for the time period it's supposed to represent. Moulin Rouge did it's own thing with making modern songs in it's own style that made the already epic songs even more timeless. But here it could be songs from any main stream crappy 6 months lifespan ""artist"" nowadays. And I really hate that the (main) actors aren't doing their own dance scenes, as they aren't real dancers.",6 Great beginning. Good character development. Great acting. But the script becomes too involved and intertwined for its own good and gradually one loses interest and plays computer games with just one eye and ear on the TV.,6 "Cheesy, banal suckage.

Couldn't agree more. I loved Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko but seeing him in this rubbish only annoyed me. As with many of todays super-hero movies, the story is weak at best with amateurish ideas, simple rewrites that doesn't add up in the original stories. Another probable reason why I didn't like this movie is because I wasn't born in the late 2000's.",3 "Most underrated show, best Marvel show ever. Stick with it, and it'll be such a rewarding experience.",10 "UPDATE: Season 2 has completed, and so, this review has been re-written. It all feels like we can finally give closure to what has been a letdown of recent MCU releases.. with many filler-like episodes (with a coat of animated-paint that is almost as visually impressive as Spiderverse's), but most of them at least assist a higher narrative. These are stories of alternate timelines, where little things change and the stories Marvel can tell are infinite (just like the Comic Books). And while the choreographies/action is great, the vibrant colors, competent scripts and dialogue, and some development are curious and interesting, the throw-away quality to them causes one to ponder.. do they matter? Still, there are a few that feel like they could have been a great cinematic addition to what was the Infinity War saga, carrying a similar feeling of weight and excitement. And so, these are nice, but ultimately makes me want to go back to a time where I still cared as much as I did! Personally, I like the presentation and style enough to bump it from what I consider to be it's deserved score.",7 "I'm on Episode 9 and so far not much has happened except for people sitting around talking about what might be going on in their area. Occasionally there's a glimpse of something evil afoot but it's very occasionally. I am finding series both boring and frustrating. Like many of Stephen King's novels, this series needed a tighter edit. PS-Finally finished the series and there's 10 hours I will never get back. Have no idea why anyone would give this waste of tine 9 or 10 stars. It is dull, ponderous and in the end, just a confused mess. How this even got made is a mystery. Skip it.",2 "I have seen this show on my Hulu constantly. As it has Steve Martin and Martin Short I was doubtful. When I saw it received high marks I decided to watch. What I got was exactly what I expected, unfortunately. Both actors trying to act funny when neither of them are funny. Martin is funny when he plays the straight guy, Short just tries way to hard. Insert Selena Gomez. She is good enough, but they make her swear just for the effect of seeing her swear. Conversation twists? Old people, young people? Old people dont know the current lingo? And the deaf episode? I can only imagine how everyone was patting themselves on the back for that episode. Self important, lazy, and simple. A waste of time.",1 This is one of the funniest comedies (alongside The Hangover) to have come out the last decade. Both Bateman and Reynolds are excellent and naturally funny. Perfect comic chemistry between the two. I also love that movie has a general warm feelgood sense to it!,10 "The most I can give a Marvel film is a 5/10 because they're never anything special in terms of story. So a 3 is actually decent for these films. My biggest gripe with this film is the same as I had with the first one. It can't choose its audience. Is it for kids with its absolutely awful G rated, ""let's not offend anybody"" weak as piss jokes? Or is it for adults where we eat people's heads and use harsh profanities? The film chooses all of these options and does them all half assed. Disappointing everybody in the end. Venom used to be seen as a badass super villain that everybody used to say was their ""favourite Spider-Man villain"". Now he's basically a wimp who has the emotions of a 14 year old girl. The dialogue between him and Eddie is beyond cringeworthy. Not one joke landed in my cinema. The characters were all horrendous and I cared for none of them. Eddie's ex-fiancé's new fiancé helps out way too much and I suppose that really speaks to Marvel's true fanbase which are cucks. Shriek in the comics had unnatural chalk white skin and a Dutch last name. She's now black because (((woke elites))) really think that's important. Truly disgusting. In saying this, I took a Marvel fan with me and she liked it quite a lot despite the fact she couldn't tell me why. These films are designed for them. It's not clever, it's nothing new but it's action packed and a bit of fun. In conclusion, there's nothing new here. We fight a villain who does SLIGHTLY different things to the first villain. Nothing progresses. A weird, not funny but somewhat exciting film.",3 "In 1968 countless theatre goers walked out of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: a space odyssey. Should have won Best Picture. And here in 2014 IMDb is giving Interstellar an 8.6 rating . I found this latest film over the top unbelievable! And incredibly silly. The top cast did give a good performance, but felt the acting of both Michael Cain and Matt Dillon not worthy of this script. The entire third act was choreographed wonderfully but again unbelievable and extremely hard to follow. 168 minutes was also much too long ., could have been edited to 2 hours . I do give creedance to Christopher Nolan his eye to detail, and didn't include audio to outside space travel, just as Stanley Kubrick did for his Space Opera 50 years before, but the overall audience didn't buy that film eithe. Sorry. I give a 6 rating .",6 "Jojo Rabbit came much hyped and highly recommended, and it certainly delivered some laughs, but I left feeling underwhelmed. The movie tells the story of young JoJo, a ten-year-old boy infatuated with the idea of becoming a Nazi and fighting for the Reich, all aided by his imaginary friend, an adult (rather goofy) Adolf Hitler. He winds up under the tutelage (of sorts) of a jaded, one-eyed Nazi commander acted by Sam Rockwell. Meanwhile, Jojo's mother (played by Scarlett Johansson), secretly takes in a young Jewish girl and hides her in the attic. This all takes place in the final phase of the war, with the Germans on retreat. The premise alone promises something of a dark, absurdist comedy, and the film offers that, along with some slapstick elements, but Jojo Rabbit also veers into serious territory, touching on themes of nationalism, indoctrination, and anti-Semitism, among others. Unfortunately, the film too frequently jumps from outlandish comedy to war drama, without ever committing to either sufficiently, resulting in an uneven effect and a viewing experience often more awkward than enjoyable. The movie is worth seeing at least once, though, if only for Sam Rockwell's show-stealing performance.",6 "Scorseses movies: watch one and you know them all. The director is a man of perfect sets but not a storyteller. Without a good screenwriter at his side he's lost. Similar to other - better - movies of S, such as 'Goodfellas' or 'Casino', 'The Irishman' is a increasingly boring succession of scenes, without any common thread. As already mentioned by others, cutting 1.5 hours from this tedious piece wouldn't harm at all. In addition Al Pacino and his endless ranting is a tremendous miscast, whereas de Niro as always offers his usual frown, but nothing else. The high rating of IMDb is incomprehensible, and has to be a bow to the big names.",2 "Avatar: The Last Airbender is an exceptional animated series that has captivated audiences of all ages. Set in a richly imagined world where people can manipulate the elements, the show follows the journey of Aang, the last surviving Airbender and the Avatar, as he strives to bring balance to a war-torn world. One of the greatest strengths of Avatar is its well-developed characters. Each member of Aang's diverse group of friends brings something unique to the table, and their personal growth throughout the series is remarkable. From Aang's journey to master all four elements to Zuko's redemption arc, the character development is masterfully executed, making us deeply invested in their stories. The storytelling in Avatar is top-notch. The series strikes a perfect balance between lighthearted humor and profound, emotional moments. It skillfully tackles themes of friendship, love, sacrifice, and the consequences of war. The narrative is filled with twists and turns that keep viewers on the edge of their seats, leaving them eagerly anticipating the next episode. Moreover, the world-building in Avatar is simply breathtaking. The creators have crafted a vast and intricate universe, drawing inspiration from various cultures and mythologies. The attention to detail in the different bending styles, landscapes, and societies is truly remarkable. This world feels alive and allows the audience to fully immerse themselves in its beauty and complexity. Another aspect worth mentioning is the show's stunning animation. The fight scenes are dynamic and visually striking, showcasing the power and creativity of each bending style. The animation brings the characters and their abilities to life, making every battle a thrilling experience. Furthermore, Avatar tackles important social and moral issues with maturity and sensitivity. It addresses topics such as prejudice, imperialism, and the consequences of unchecked power. The show encourages viewers to reflect on these issues and challenges them to think critically about the world around them. In conclusion, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a masterpiece of storytelling, character development, and world-building. It appeals to everyone, delivering a profound and entertaining experience. If you haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's a series that will leave a lasting impact and resonate with you long after the final episode. One last thing..... (there is something that alot of people have been arguing about. Apparently the plot is ""basic"". Yes, the plot was easy. Anyone could've came up with that. But the reason why Avatar is so good is because they changed up the story. I won't disagree, season 1 and 2 were overrated. However, when it gets to season 3 and beyond, the plot begins to get exciting.)",10 "I wonder how long will it take for people to realize this show is actually bad. While season 1 was good, and season 2 relatively mediocre, season 3 isn't even watchable. This show is so rapidly declining in quality that I'm just left wondering if I'm even watching the same thing anymore. It's become nothing but a prolonged commercial for the 80s.",4 "At the time I write this there have been 279.901 ratings for John Wick:Chapter 4.

In their defense, they probably couldn't find enough positive remarks to say about the movie other that ""it's cool"". There's perhaps a few who have gotten enough vicarious thrills and can't wait to buy a semi-automatic rifle.

The movie itself is a mindless non-interactive video of long fight scenes in which the characters fight after they should have been killed or disabled by nunchucks, swords or pistols. It is a continuous blood bath with a muddled plot and no humor. When our civilization is unearthed in a thousand years and if a copy of this movie is recovered, the historians could only conclude the we were destroyed from within and a strong contributing factor were mindless and violent entertainment like this. If you haven't yet seen it...don't.",2 "Superheroes pitted against each other in a quest for righteousness this seems to be the trend this year. First it was superman versus batman and now its captain America . The movie starts from where captain America 'The Winter Soldier left'.This guy is actually responsible for Iron Man's parents death. Never mind the half baked story and the logic. And then there is the secretary of state baying for the avengers blood that they come strictly under the purview of the state for causing mindless loss of lives and property during their heroic quests.Mindless no doubt. Roped in is some sovokian guy who wants to eliminate the avengers by deliberately causing confusions amongst the avengers because his family was accidentally killed by them. and suddenly we have two avengers groups; the upright headed by Captain America and the politically correct headed by the Iron man.More surprises,the group manages to rope in The teenage spiderman and the Ant man, The picture becomes clear now. Superheroes against superheroes. What follows is some cortex splitting but riveting action. but in the end all this doesn't make sense and so does the huge expenses that must have gone into the making of this sequel. All in all confusions galore. Right from the director to the audience.",3 "The violence seemed plug-n-play. Plonked as token formula trademark. Good tension and atmosphere, but sometimes scenes end up in vague destinations. Is Hollywood behind the scenes that fascinating? I suppose but I couldn't find myself caring. One stand-out was the girl (Julia Butters) and her conversation scene with DiCaprio. The clever and funny lines nicely written, her execution icing on cake. DiCaprio was good to watch in this role. I enjoyed the old cars, the cinematics, the editing and tension, but everything felt stuck in second gear. Expectations not met on this occasion. Still gets a reasonable 6 or 7 out of 10 for good entertainment with a short rubber-stamped concentrated dose of blood splattering violence. It was missing something.",6 "I mean It's Micheal Bay so don't have expectation that it's gonna be different from other ones. Honestly feels like a 2000's movies like it was gonna get made in 2007 but for some reason they delayed it for 12 years, even back then this movie would've been cliche and stale but you know, I just watch it for the goofs and dumb action scenes. The editing as always is annoying but the movie is a dumb fun just shut your brain off and imagine you're in 2007.",3 Very nice and fantastic movie made by Anurag Basu mind blowing,10 "One final movie where nick fury, mac Coulson and all gets reunite for mission. It's not less than avengers.",10 "In my opinion, season 2 is by far better then season 1. I watched it in a few days and i was always cerious what happens next. The actors did a good job and the whole screenplay, soundtrack & ambient is perfect.",9 "The series that I watched once and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced Pao (Indian bread). Loved it and Recommended it to all my pals and not one person has failed to fall in love with this epic. I ranted and raved about it wherever I went. Then, life took over and I didn't have the time to think about or revisit the original Avatar : The Last Airbender. Until last week, I tuned in again. I finished the episodes by the fistful, completing 3 complete seasons in 3 days. I never thought I would miss my friends so much because by the end of this series thats what the characters will be to you. I cannot express the sadness that creeped in over the last episode when I knew it was all going to come to an end. I would no longer get to see the wonderful lives of all characters I had grown to adore & take into confidence. Watching & experiencing this series has been one the most affirming moments of my life. I beg you not to go without experiencing the brilliant epic that is Avatar : The Last Airbender.",10 "This one of those sequels that surpasses the first one. A great blockbuster. A great second installment to the series. A great superhero film. There are some similarities to this and Superman II. If you have seen both, then you should know what I am talking about. If you liked the first one, then you will love this. A great second Part. I highly recommend this film. I love all 3 films. I loved this film. One of the best superhero films out there. If you are a DVD collector(Like me) then you should add this to your collection. It is that good. The acting is good. It has some humor. It has action and romance so Males and females will enjoy it. My overall rating for Spider-Man 2 is 8 out of 10 spiders. Enjoy. Thank you. Great film.",9 "Meaningless goop-centric cgi scenes can't save this movie from mediocrity. First the obvious: a Spider-Man villain whose origin is dependent on the wall crawler who is VERY noticeably absent and who proves that he doesn't really deserve his own film. Without Spidey around, Venom's existence feels pointless, his origin bland and dull and the stakes never feel meaningful. Even his costume just looks like black vomit without the prominent white spider symbol that SHOULD be there. I've heard the movie called ""fun"" and it is if you turn your brain off. It's fun in the way a Rambo movie is fun; bad dialogue, flashy action, dumb plot, lots of special effects. Is it a good movie? No. Not even close. Does it do the character justice? Well, no. Without Spider-Man, how could it? Will the masses like it anyway? Probably.",3 "The show would have had potential, but the cast is very much confusing to me as well as the whole Selena Gomez' on-screen career. The girl obviously can't act. Every scene with her makes me cringe. The story could be better, the jokes could be wittier and funnier. It's just not good. I could barely finish two episodes.",2 "A perfect waste of a potential good story. They completely missed the mark and ruined beloved characters in a short disrespectful way. Marvel lost their touch.",4 "Honestly, what a tired, stereotype-driven story this is. And no amount of atmospheric mood music can make up for the huge leaps that the story makes, leaving characters and the viewer behind as the over long film progresses. Very disappointing.",4 "A great idea and killer lead man couldn't digest what this film tried to cook up. It's worth watching just to understand how close it it to being an awesome film, while being undeniably awful. Mostly the second half sucks as it just starts making no sense - even within the world in which it exists.",2 "When I first heard of this show, I was a bit skeptical as it was commonly referred to as a kids show, but after watching this I can confidently say that despite some shoddy writing (I suppose used to appeal better to a younger audience) this is the best show I have seen. Character development is superb and you get to feel each major character in the show and what their viewpoints are. Humor is also great with some pretty damn funny moments especially during season 2. The story is the real highlight of the show, it feels like a massive adventure and Season 1 introduces the whole premise of the show really well. The animation is impressive, despite being only available in DVD quality, the art is well detailed and animation smoothness is superior to many Anime I have seen, this is truly on- par or better than Japanese shows I have seen which is surprising considering American animation is generally thought as not being that great. All this with a solid ending makes this a truly superb show and I highly recommend watching this if you are looking for a good TV show to watch or want to get into Anime as this is a good sort-of introduction into the art style.",10 "STAR RATING: ***** Brilliant **** Very Good *** Okay ** Poor * Awful Thelonius Monk (Jeffrey Wright) is a frustrated novelist, with a tricky family life, who is tired of offensive and outdated tropes and stereotypes involving black culture, claiming to come from an authentic, lived experience, which end up generating profit for the publishing industry. After the tragic death of his sister, Lisa (Tracee Ellis Ross), who he looked up to, Thelonius turns the situation to his advantage, and uses a pen name to write his own novel that conforms to all the stereotypes he claims to despise, in order to expose the hypocrisy at the heart of the business. American Fiction, the directorial debut of Cord Jefferson, who also serves as one of the writers, initially appeared as an off the radar, independent offering, with some encouraging reviews, but of little other notable worth. Next thing I know, it's among the contenders for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. It's certainly an interesting, original piece, exploring identity politics, without pushing any kind of white privilege narrative, indeed with a central protagonist raging against a stereotypical depiction of 'the black experience.' Wright has to carry the film, much like every other leading actor, and thankfully he is certainly one of the films many good points, delivering a restrained, warm performance, and creating a likeable central character, managing the many obstacles in his life being hurdled at him, and deciding to stamp his mark in his own creative and effective way. Each of his encounters feels very relatable and human, and so keeps you engaged, right up until the ending, which delivers a clever, subversive twist that completely warps your expectations. Adapted from an original novel by Percival Everett, Jefferson's film is a pleasantly surprising piece of work. It didn't win the Best Picture award, as we know, but the end product leaves you in little surprise at its considered worthiness. ****",9 "Slow, bad acting, over acting, hardly any action instead just talking. Greatful for when I've finished the series",4 "This film is bad from start to finish with no real sustenance to it at all, i stayed watching, hopefully it would pick up but sadly it did not. It goes on for over 2 hours and just makes you feel bored. This is in my opinion a MUST NOT SEE!",2 "Christopher Nolan is one of the most respected directors in the world today. He has directed two of my favorite movies of all time(Inception,The Dark Knight) and draws a crowd every time a movie has his name on it. Interstellar is a good movie. Is it great? No. Is it one of Nolan's best? Not even close. But this movie takes so many risks, and most of them pay off and are incredible. This movie is visually stunning, has great performances, and tells an entertaining story. But there are a lot of conveniences, and the story outreaches it's intellectual grasp. Overall, Interstellar is a great theater experience and should be viewed by everyone. But don't go in expecting everything to be perfect and mind-bending. It's just a good movie.",7 I enjoyed this movie. Was it my favorite? No. But I still enjoyed it. Great acting and suspenseful.,7 "I refuse to believe the memes and hype is organic, this is a total waste of time.",3 "This movie was the point that Marvel started going downhill for me. The action scenes are shaky, unexciting, and nauseating. The plot is a rip off of the Manchurian Candidate, a much better movie. The Russo Bros are complete hacks, if you don't believe me look up their filmography before they were drafted into making subpar Marvel films. The reason that elevator scene is so praised is because it's the only action scene in the movie where the camera isn't bouncing all over the place trying to disguise the cheap CGI. The whole movie hasn't aged well at all in six years, I dread to know how it will be viewed in twenty. At least this was the last Marvel movie to remember that Cap was supposed to be from the 40s.",2 "As a movie, this had the potential to be up there with 'long, stock' and other british cult classic. In fact, if you look at the project's history, you'll find that exactly what the creator was going for, until he folded and accepted to do a tv series for C4 that's now incorrectly regarded as a netflix original. In the process, the comic from which it's based on has been completely rethought, the ending rewritten, heck, the beginning and middle of it, too. Sometimes, It works wonderfully (the dynamic between the two female cops is superbly scripted and acted). Sometimes, it's a catastrophic cluster****, in particular the added scenes that feel 'tacked on' and the utterly disastrous ending, which I laughed throughout (and it wasn't meant to be funny). Noticeably, the last episode is 18m long. I mean what better way to scream ""we ran out of money/ideas"" than wrapping up 8h of series in 20 minutes with the most bizarre, unrealistic portrayal of armed police in the UK. I found it quite offensive actually as it was insulting my intelligence when the show so far had done a good job at being 'clever' and avoiding the usual tropes. 5/10 because of the wonderful acting and decent photography. Just skip the last episode if you want to keep a good opinion of this one.",5 "First season was great and hyped me up for second season. Oh and what an utter disappointment it turned out to be. Although second season began on a high node with Pankaj Tripathi's Baba and Gaitonde's history. But quickly they took an absurd turn with utterly no logic. A Hindu Baba in Kenya wants to bring Satyug. Than he is shown to be the mastermind behind USA school shootings, numerous Terrorist attacks and he even funds Pakistan's Terrorist Shahid Khan to attack India. Out of nowhere this Baba developed a Kaalgranth which has a blueprint for Nuclear Bomb. Indian police and intelligence are shown as clueless people who can't even detect nuclear activity in Mumbai. The bomb is operated using a tablet with Android lockscreen like patterns. And the patterns in book doesn't have a grid while the tablet does have a grid but still will manage to save Mumbai in next season. The writer Varun Grover who was accused in #MeToo movement and co-director Anurag Kashyap who is regularly trolled for his illogical arguments have tried their best to appease certain section of society. They have even incorporated an outof context mob lynching scene which has no connection with the story at all, just to prove their point and appeasement.",5 "(sorry, my English is not the better I know...) No! Matrix isn't a good film and certainly not the best of its year. In my opinion, the movie has a single interest: its special effects! But when you have seen the best ones of them more than one hundred times before seeing the movie in the traders broadcasted 24h/24 at TV... The actors will not remain in my memory too; and the characters are all but deep (special award to Trinity, ridiculous). The scenario can seem original to those who don't know anything about science fiction. The others will recognize topics taken from different films ; the main idea of the movie, the matrix, is close to the usual topics from novels of Philip K Dick too (just read ""The three stigmatas of Palmer Eldritch""! for example). Shortly, the scenario is not so strong as so many people are telling us, and if the initial idea is powerful, the screenwriters have probably rest after. My conclusion: if you like special effects, or if you don't know anything in Science Fiction, you can watch Matrix Else, watch Blade Runner, Existenz ... or even Star Wars.",2 "The acting was good, the CGI was passable, considering the time constraints studios are under these days, but the writing is frankly almost as god-awful as Loki. Barely anything in this film has a reason to occur, and not a single character makes it out of the film with any coherency, reasoning, or dignity intact. They manage to break their own Original Character (please don't steal) at the end of it. And no, it doesn't have horror in it. It has at best a few scenes that might scare a particularly twitchy 10 year old.",2 "Very intense, not a moment of dullness, smartly done with great cast, just wish Mads Mikkelsen would speak a bit clearer, had some trouble understanding what he was mumbling. now to finish the ten lines let me recap again and again and again Very intense, not a moment of dullness, smartly done with great cast, just wish Mads Mikkelsen would speak a bit clearer, had some trouble understanding what he was mumbling. now to finish the ten lines let me recap again and again and again Very intense, not a moment of dullness, smartly done with great cast, just wish Mads Mikkelsen would speak a bit clearer, had some trouble understanding what he was mumbling. now to finish the ten lines let me recap again and again and again Very intense, not a moment of dullness, smartly done with great cast, just wish Mads Mikkelsen would speak a bit clearer, had some trouble understanding what he was mumbling. now to finish the ten lines let me recap again and again and again",10 "'Sex, Lies and Videotape' is a film that was very controversial for it's day, and now it's just kind of mild. The film explores the sexual aspects of four people, Ann (Andie MacDowell - Groundhog's Day), John (Peter Gallagher - American Beauty), Cynthia (Laura San Giacamo - TV's 'Just Shoot Me') and Graham (James Spader - TV's Boston Legal). Ann and John are happily married on the outside, but not on the inside. Ann is seeing a psychiatrist, and John is being unfaithful to his wife with her sister, Cynthia. All their secrets get unearthed when Graham, an old college buddy of John's, comes into town with his video camera and his curiosity. That's about all of the film I'll tell you. I don't want to give anything away, so that you will get more out of the film when viewing it. Steven Sodebergh does a decent job with his directorial debut, some elements of his directing were really sloppy while others ran smoothly. The dialogue is pitch-perfect, but the film drags a lot during the middle. The saving grace of 'Sex, Lies and Videotape' is definitely the acting. James Spader gives his finest performance as the intricate Graham while Andie MacDowell perfects her role of the puritan-like housewife who deep down has a burning curiosity for sex. The supporting actors of the film are Peter Gallagher who does a totally believable job as the lowest form of life on the planet, a lawyer, while Laura San Giacamo also very believable as a ""loose"" woman. All actors perfect their roles, Spader and McDowell more noticeably in roles that should have won them Academy Award Nominations. 'Sex, Lies & Videotape' has some major flaws and short-comings but overall it's a pretty good film. It was nominated for one Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

I mean you've got all the ingredients for making a blockbuster; you have love, guilt, joy, sadness, laughter, conspiracies, spirituality, meditation and much more. The thing about the series is that its really contemporary, I mean, its really considering some really important changes in US, as a whole, and in the way we are starting to view religion and the world. Budhism and new age influences are quite vivid and are really explored in the series! I gave It a well deserved ""10"" and I hope that more young as well as ""old"" will enjoy watching something as well made as this series! Thanks /Mario",10 "Why? Mr Mercedes Justine Lupe plays the character well. This is not the right actres. It's not following the book, sad thing. Crap!",1 "Stop watching after episode 25 and you have a perfect series. That's all I have to say. If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it.",9 "To be honest, I can barely follow the plot for this one from the very beginning (and that is probably my bad). But everything else, wow. I started watching the series thinking, what is this?!? This is a mess and nothing make sense, and almost stopped. But after a few episodes I could not let go. The acting, the depicting of relationships, the depth of family ties. The music, the way certain (most) scenes are shot, the overall feel is just so deep and unique. Some say, people don't remember what you say to them, but they remember how you made them feel. Well, not sure if this true for series, but I will probably always remember how Umbrella Academy made me feel. This is more like a meditation for me than watching a series. Things happen, and I let them. And it is a fantastic journey. P. S. Season 3 included.",9 "Boring, no real story, not scary or jumpy at all. I watched it after my 4yr old went to bed, I don't know why I bothered, it wouldn't of even scared her",2 "This movie is a total disaster which starts from nowhere and ends no where. it doesn't have any plot and it fails to connect with the viewers. this movies is a wannabe 'Bigfish' which doesn't even succeed to catch a small prawn.",5 "Okay, I am not a big comic book fan, nor do I know too much about ""Iron Man."" I am a big-time movie fan though, and there are certain things that a comic book movie (and basically ANY movie) needs to be successful. And they are: THRILLS... EXCITEMENT... SUSPENSE... STORY... ""Iron Man 2"" has none of them. How does a movie like this get released without them? ""Iron Man 2"" has no exciting plot for the hero to overcome to stop drastic consequences. No exciting action sequences to keep us on the edge of our seats. I don't know or really care how much this film keeps to the comic it was based on--if it doesn't have an involving, exciting story, it fails. All of the actors, Downey, Johannsen, Favreau, Rourke, Cheadle, give mediocre, forgettable performances. All of them are good actors who I have enjoyed watching in other films, but seem to just be trying to be cool, hip, and clever in front of the camera this time. This film should have reminded me of the ""Batman,"" ""Superman,"" or ""Spiderman,"" films, but it has more in common with the ""Ocean's 11"" movies: a bunch of big stars hamming it up, trying to be ""cool,"" and having fun in front of the camera, instead of trying to make a good movie. What does Mickey Rourke's villain want in this film? How will it affect the world if he achieves his aims? Why should we care if he succeeds? Why are there no moments when Iron Man seems on the verge of losing everything? This film is an example of letting success go to the producers' and actors' heads. Hopefully the fan-boys will realize and admit it stinks before more action and comic book films turn out as dull as this one. Grade: D",3 "I loved the first Guardians for its mix of action and comedy; but this movie substitutes comedy and silliness for a decent story. I don't know much at the Guardians from the comics, but I hope their story on paper was better than this. I was excited to see them introduce Kurt Russell as Peter's father but come on they couldn't do anything more interested with him. The story was kind of childish with too much forced family melodrama and dumb jokes. Also for a movie you'd like to bring you kids to there were too many adult references and too much violence. These characters were interesting in the first movie but a whole lot less interesting in this one.",4 "Visually nice , but this is an ordinary movie scenario for 90 mins, should not be filmed like 7 episode series, it's not moving for me. Definitely not a series which should be in top 100",7 "Both a prequel and a sequel to ""The Godfather"", this film tells parallel stories in different time periods. The early one takes place in the early 1900s when Vito Corleone escapes a traumatic childhood in Sicily and becomes part of the crime scene in New York City . The later story in the 1950s has Vito's son Michael taking over the family's business of organized crime. As both crime drama and family drama, this film earns high marks in both categories. The later story includes a patriarch who is so ruthless and power-hungry that it would normally be tempting to despise him and those around him. Yet, the skillful directing by Francis Ford Coppola successfully tricks the audience into showing great interest to the clan almost to the point of sympathy. The later story is sometimes difficult to follow. It's extremely busy with many details and characters that are sometimes difficult to follow and remember. Luckily, the earlier story is straightforward. Each story is enhanced with differing styles of photography by the very talented Gordon Willis. The music of Nino Rota and Carmine Coppola is also beautiful. Despite the mentioned flaw, this film has so much talent involved that it ends up as a memorable experience even after multiple viewings. The supporting cast members John Cazale, Michael Gazzo, Lee Strasberg, and Talia Shire all have at least one scene that gives them a chance to shine. As Vito, Robert DeNiro shows greatness in the role that brought him to fame. But the highlight of the cast is Al Pacino as Michael who personifies the worst side of humanity in subtle ways especially in two scenes. In one, where he has a serious confrontation with his wife, his still face can't fully betray his anger as his jaw shakes. In another scene, he is viewed from a distance behind a glass screen door. Even at a distance, his silent pose conveys soullessness and evil. Coppola's directing is at its best in crowd scenes, particularly a street festival in the earlier story where a murder is being planned; and a New Year's Eve party in Havana in the later story. Overall, ""The Godfather Part II"" has aged very well. - dbamateurcritic RATING: 9 out of 10 Outstanding Achievements: Directing by Francis Ford Coppola Acting by Al Pacino.",9 "While Season 1 was fresh, and well made show.

Johnny Depp's character seems to ""overdo it."" -The movie is more about events, and it forgets to infuse human el",6 "After watching a movie which some call ""The best sci-fi film of the Millennium"" I had this serious and uncontrollable urge to go in depth and examine it to the last piece. You can ask me ""Why can't you just seat back and receive pleasure?"" I can. But not when it comes to movie which is called cult. The special effects were good. But the only reason they were made is to create a show. Check out the eXistenZ - I don't think there were any computer animated effects at all, but you get a full feeling of another reality. What's really bad is a plot of the film. This is supposed to be a movie were the Good Guys are fighting the Bad Matrix. But what Matrix is bad is questionable. It takes away people's freedom to control their lives but allows them to live in a bright sunny world, when the real world is dark ruins, ugly closing and food that looks and tastes like plastic. Some people could say that the Matrix is doing a good deed. Not to mention that using a people's bodies as a batteries is not very effective, you have to feed them and that's a real waste of energy. Absolutely unnecessary thing in this film is a Kung Fu. If you can bend spoons and duck bullets with the power of your mind, you don't need any martial arts. It was made only to put some action into film. And the worst thing is a prophecy about the ""Chosen-One"". Neo was the ""Chosen-One"" all the time and it doesn't matter if Trinity would fall in love with him or not. He had his abilities, he trained them and it's logically to assume that he would get them. But no! He fully gets them only when Trinity says she loves him. Yes, it was in Oracles prophecy, but don't You think that the things You can do are not depend from what other people think about You? This is really falls apart, and this is a major moment in movie. To avoid any farther damaging of a Matrix fan's feelings, I must say that this movie is not all that bad. It's a good show and you can really enjoy it, but please, don't call it ""The best sci-fi film of the Millennium""! Go see Alien instead. My mark - 4 out of 10.",4 "Ever since I saw Kuch Kuch hota hai in the cinema 12 years ago I have had a fondness for Karan Johar movies, I am also a huge huge of Shah Rukh Khan and therefore I have seen every Johar-Khan collaboration. Their last collaboration Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna left me slightly unsure about whether Johar had lost his touch(even though I didn't think it was as bad as people had told me). My Name is Khan has been all over the news in the past weeks over Shah Rukh's comments about his comments about the Indian cricket team and it incited riots. I won't pass comments about who's right and who's wrong but all I can say is I hope his comments don't make people wary of seeing it because it is a truly entertaining movie. see it with my mother and two sisters and was completely in awe of it till the very end. I had doubts about this movie because from the ads it felt like a movie about terrorism which has been covered many times in the past couple of years in Bollywood(New York,Kurbaan,Fanaa etc)but I was surprised at how different it was from other Bollywood terrorism movies. Instead of dealing with the lives of the terrorists it dealt with the impact terrorism has on the normal citizens. In my life I have only cried watching three movies and My Name is Khan is one of them. It is truly a heartwarming movie and has reestablished my faith in the goodness of strangers. In a way it didn't feel like a Karan Johar movie. It didn't have lavish sound and dance numbers for one. It didn't even have any special appearances by actors(Salman Khan in KKHH, Rani Mukherjee in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham etc). Although Jimmy Shergill also starred in it but he had a rather lengthy role. In short My Name is Khan surpassed my huge expectations and is a wonderful treat for Bollywood fans.",9 "Love the story line so far!! Taking this as it's own story. Giving the actors time to warm to their characters and they are! Can't wait to see if they carry Parker all the way.

The Coen brothers seem to think that the majority of folks from North Dakota, South Dakota, & Minnesota come from Lake Wobegon. At first, I did think the whole accent thing was overdone, but that's not what irritated me the most. I thought that this film was going to be MUCH better than what it was. Normally, I like their movies (Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, The Man Who Wasn't There). This one left me flat &, well, irritated. Frances McDormand did not deserve an Oscar for her performance. The writing was bland & the characters wooden.

Russell Crowe did a wonderful job portraying John Nash that you would think he was actually John Nash.

IT was one of the only shows that I felt really sad after it was over and I saw the movie and it didn't live up to fantastic show even though I didn't expect it too and after watching the movie it made me want the show to continue EVEN MORE and it just made me upset b/c I read a interview with the creators and they said that the movies would show how Zuko found his mother but I don't want M.Night Shyamalan to write it I want the creators to write it. So that made me upset",10 "Overall, I liked Stranger Things more than I didn't, but I think that the show is overrated. Pros: Like the summary says, the storyline is creative and enjoyable for the most part. The main reason for why I stuck around till the end is because I wanted to know what will happen after each episode. The setting is nice, with the eighties recreated really well. The soundtrack is great, and it works really effectively with the setting. MOST of the characters were well written and acted (note that I said ""most."") Jim Hopper and Will's mother stood out as being especially good. Cons: The show is full of wince inducing clichés. From painfully unrealistic bully clichés, to predictable and overdone dialogue, Stranger Things has it all. It's also extremely cheesy at times. I found myself flipping the screen off on multiple occasions because it got too idiotic for me to handle. It's an unpopular opinion, but I particularly disliked Eleven's character. Though the actress did a decent job at acting what she was given, I felt like her dialogue and gimmick was the most corny out of everyone's. It seemed like her supernatural powers were pulled off in the most cringe worthy manner possible (although nobody seems to agree with me on it.) There are many cheap jump-scares. Although some had good build ups, each one was the same - a sudden roar accompanied by a loud sound effect. To conclude, Stranger Things is okay. With some shows and movies, I can look past the negatives if the rest is good enough, but I struggled to do that on this occasion. I'll probably be watching season 2 to see what it has to offer.",7 """Pulp Fiction"" along with ""The Piano"", ""The Crying Game"", and ""Terms of Endearment"" is one of the most overrated movies ever made. The Americans sure love their violence. This one glorifies it to the nth degree. Harvey Keitel gives another low-life performance. The plot is empty drizzle. There is no resolve either good or bad at the end of the film. It is empty, sick, and disgusting. There is no theme. The dialogue is made for skin-heads as Bruce Willis' hair style in the film confirms. And Uma Thurman's famous head-shaking scene is ultra silly.",5 "I'm pretty underwhelmed by almost every episode. Why was there an extra super long episode for side characters we don't hardly even know? I thought I was watching Brokeback Mountain. There was hardly any on-screen zombies shown at all the entire season run. There's no new ground covered at all either story-wise when it comes to the main characters. All of what we see is already shown during in-game cutscenes that you may as well just play the game. They treat Ellie like a helpless 5 year old even though she can gun people down on her own. Not surprising since it takes place in America where they're all under the impression that teen girls can't do anything right on their own. 14 year old girls are perfectly fine on their own in other countries and you have to wonder what's America's problem and why they're so absurdly slow to catch on. It's all so very embarrassing for humanity. Screenwriters know nothing about real life. And the makeup artists seemed to be purposefully making Ellie look terrible.",6 "If you like Marvel, watch this series! I'm not sure why other reviewers are so critical of the first season.... my husband and I were hooked from the beginning. Phil Coulson's character is top notch. I love the humor and the continuity of the plot. Of course there are the episodes where you groan and roll your eyes, but this is one of the best series we've watched and I was sad to see it end.",8 "The Matrix would have been a decent film had it not been for the recurring, overdone messiah theme. To me, it lost all believability when Neo comes back to life after being kissed. An otherwise very original storyline was ruined by a predictable ending and a theme that's been done ad nauseum. I think I'll pass on part 2 and 3.",4 "That fact this movie has an 8.8 Rating shows people's desire to be perceived as being intelligent. This movie is unnecessarily complicated for the sake of being complicated. The story telling is terrible. If a character in a story has to tell the audience directly what the hell is going on the story sucks. A lot of Christopher Nolan's stuff is like this. Whenever someone hears criticism of Inception the first line of attack is ""you just didn't understand it"". I understood it, just didn't like the way it was presented. Having said that Christopher Nolan has a lot of original ideas and some of his stuff is good. He is still one of the only director's today that uses practical effects. The hallway rotating scene with Joseph Gordon Levitt was a practical effect and was amazing. Scenes like that was the only reason I rated Inception a 5/10.",5 "This movie shows mirror to all of us. Brilliantly executed... Casting, Acting, BGM, Music, Screenplay and Cinematography. Nagraj Manjule sir you are more than a director. Never seen this kind of a film... I laughed... I amazed... I enjoyed...I cried... My all emotions comes out... Now my expectation is very high from Nagraj Manjule sir.",10 Alpha I love you I love so much Alpha. Guzel bir film ama yavas,6 "The Show starts off Perfectly. Though it ends weak. The ending is literally of 3 people sitting and talking. (Train 48). The show from 1 to 5 was exceptional. EP 6 is weak. Not boring but I felt I was tricked into getting an epic ending. I was left betrayed like Loki was in the mcu. Last Words: people actually liked ep 6 🤣. This proves I'm living in the dumb timeline. The show is not perfect due to a lackluster ending.",8 I was sitting through this movie wondering what it was all leading up to. There was no need for it to be so long. The last 15/20 minutes were absolutely hilarious.,4 "As a fan of the original, this seemed like a whole different genre and shouldn't be linked in any way. Characters and dialogue weak and over the top - very caricature like, which didn't seem to match the first Knives Out where they were somewhat toned down. Blanc was a mysterious individual, but in this one, he's given far too much unnecessary dialogue that not even Daniel Craig can save. The film started off unlikeable, but fortunately picked up in the middle where a few interesting twists happened, for it to then fall flat again at the end. It felt as though the production team and director were given an even larger budget this time round due the success of the first one, that they didn't then know what do with it other than take the outlook of 'go big or go home'. The concept was actually good, but was executed so poorly. Frustrating when it could have been much better. Not even decent a relatively decent cast could fight the poor writing or directing. 'Be as one dimensional as humanly possible' must have been some of the notes they were given.",3 AM I THE ONLY ONE ON PLANET EARTH WHO THINKS THAT THIS FILM IS ABSOLUTE TOSH? Perhaps I'm being unkind because I could only handle an hour before walking out. I thought the acting in particular was very poor. The storyline is twaddle - a farmer with flight experience finds NASA in an unspecified location with a rocket that is going to save Earth - a typecast Michael Caine (thank goodness it wasn't Morgan Freeman) opens the boardroom door and there is the rocket!. It seemed to me that used actual rocket launch footage? The time element is misused and the special effects are not that great. I thought Elysium knocked socks off this film. I did semi enjoy the water sequence but it was at the point where they get back to the mother ship that I walked ................ very quickly out of the cinema. Ps I love Matthew McConaughey in true detective and I can't believe I was looking at the same actor,1 "Grounded camera placement, gritty cinematography and wild realistic action. The story wasn't so great but good performance from Chris and it was entertaining enough. I actually liked it.",7 "You can make comedys over hitler and faschism and you can make dramas, that explain how antisemitism and faschism worked and still works. Tarantinos ""Inglorious Basterds"" is a good example of the first and Hanekes ""Das weiße Band"" a good example of the second category. Jojo starts of as an mediocre satire, but as soon as anne frank enters the stage, it becomes a wannabe explanatory children book. it just looks at oversimplified cliche versions of nazis and antisemitism, changes from laughter to crying tears and back to loughter, just for the affect. Nothing more. And this is dangerous, because its downplaying that faschism and antisemitism work in much smarter ways than shown in the film. It doesnt expose new insights like a really good satire like chaplins big dictator did. its a failed experiment.",2 Immersion and tension in incredible shooting. But the drama is lacking.,7 "Outstanding movie.... Nagraj sir you are great Jhund nahi team kahiye.... Must watch movie.. Full paisa vasool movie. Potential.... Ek coach, ek #Jhund aur inka ek goal ⚽ What is it? Find out at your nearest cinemas @SrBachchan @Nagrajmanjule.",10 "I expected this movie to be a quick predictable cashgrab with as much stars as possible for the poster, it turned out to be way more. It has its flaws, but they quickly move past that. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling absolutely killed it. It had great social commentary, while still being funny and wildly entertaining. The design is great, from set design to music to choreography. It's a feast to see all those stars dancing together, and the use of color is amazing. The story was well illustrated, with showing you the message clearly, they sometimes straight up tell you things, but those things are well explained in the context. The real world part didn't stick to its own rules, sometimes it was complete fantasy when it needed to be, and sometimes it was supposed to be ""harsh reality"" which therefore just didn't work. Cliché's and tropes were sometimes a bit too much, but I didn't really expect something else than that. The end-conversation was a bit pretentious, and a bit weaker than it tried to be for me. I could understand that it hit all the right spots for somebody else. The jokes were great, and I laughed a lot. Loved how it looked like the lego movie sometimes. 8,2/10 Well done. Now Im gonna watch Oppenheimer.",8 "Definetely, specting something. That never came. Horrible. Bad season finale. Awful",4 "Strong action sequences and Hemsworth has a flare of John Wick efficiency as he moves through each piece. Weaponry and sound are very well done. Explosions were clearly costed on a budget but overall the effects are nice enough. Its typical Netflix production though where the ending is weak. The film overall is fairly average, not bad, but nor is it great. Good for sitting down and killing time during corvid19 lockdown with a pizza and a beer.",6 "When a film titles says violent I'm thinking thats what I'm going to get, violence. But this movie pleasantly surprised me that it took itself seriously. A film that makes you happy that some movies have pride and care. Though not as violent as I thought the element of suspense and survival is at hand for a company at the top of it's game. A man derived to protect it and his family, and this film handled this topic well. And I utterly felt bad for one of the characters, about as tragic as it gets for this one particular character, but you'll have to see it to know. All the acting is outstanding from Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain, but I will admit I was annoyed by Chastain's character as she acted like such a hardcore individual that she came across as dumb sometimes, but she make up for it later on. It's an enjoyable film to watch and I'd recommend checking it out. Now to grade it: Acting: A- Characters: B+ Music: B- Story/Plot: A Directing: A- Overall Grade: B+",7 "Extremely conplicated plot, with forgettable characters and performances. Next.....",3 "After watching season one, I can only say this, it seems that the general directors, producers, and writers of this show don't know how to turn books into TV shows. With the two D&D brothers, until the end of season 6, at least they did an excellent job. When I watched 6 seasons of GOT, I didn't even think it was episodes made from the pages of George, a cunning Cersei, a cruel, stupid Joffrey, a sly Arya, a heartbroken Sansa, those characters're successfully built with their story on screen, not in the pages of a book. And with HotD, if they are going to build characters like this, will no one see all the good and unique of the characters, or do they have to watch the show while holding the book? At the same time? I even wish the writers were bolder, they could even create more characters to support the important characters to develop their personalities. The story of the Targaryen family is told very intermittently, interrupted by invisible periods, the characters being replaced midway. Let's see what happens to Daario Naharis in GOT, nobody notices him anymore. And in particular, many episodes have absurd, confusing, and boring scenes. Take Daemon's battle at the Narrow Sea, for example. What's encouraging about the show is that the staging, the set design, the costumes, the hair, the makeup, the visual effects, the music, it's all great, beautiful and expensive, which I want them to maintain until the end of the show. If you want to see an average show and dragons, maybe this is the show for you, and if your standards are at GOT, you'll probably want to scream at the scriptwriters and say: Try harder!",5 "R. O. Mehta has created an praiseworthy piece of cinema. ""Bhaag Milkha Bhaag"" is a wonderful piece of narration of the life of a self-made legend who rises to glory paving his way through tragedy and dismay. Active confrontations only lead to making him a tougher guy, who finally earns the title of ""The Flying Sikh"" from the head of what is called the rival nation, Pakistan. The movie grabs attention with its quick switches from the past to the present, commenting upon the mental state of Milkha who has been shown to be a witness to a whole lot of eye-protruding sights. The title is derived from his father's last words asking him to run away from the hungry-for-lives murderers created at the time of partition. Also incorporated in the movie is a traditional-Indian-cinema- requirement, an unrequited love story which thankfully does not overshadow the main theme, although love was responsible for pushing Milkha to quit being a thief. Farhan Akhtar, a persona that induces inspiration has flaunted an enviable body and wonderful performance, well complemented by Pavan Malhotra, Yograj Singh, Divya Dutta and others. The technique has been apt to create an awe as well as induce goosebumps in the audience. All in all, it is a journey of hard work, distractions, resentment, consequent abhorrence, focus and emotions. A medley of all this contributes to making him what he really was... Well it had an effect on me too- I ran fast as I could to get home after the movie, because I knew my parents were restless to kick my butt off.... ;)",8 Seriously thank god i didn't go to watch in cinema I would've slept in first 10 minutes the movie is so so disappointment I cannot believe i watched it until the end i really had no expectations knew it wouldn't be as good or great as the conjuring but this there is no story i give it 4 just for the acting because at least the acting was good,4 "Talk To Me A24's latest supernatural horror sees a group of teenagers contacting spirits by touching an embalmed hand, albeit, without exceeding ninety seconds. Everything goes downhill when they forget the rules of the game. Talk To Me starts with a bang and ends with a brilliantly sequenced finale. The plot is fresh and progresses well and even with a slightly muddled last quarter, it doesn't falter. The practical effects are jolting and potent, and deliver dread. The sound effects and score harmoniously bring the horror elements through (with ELGRINDO's Have You Ever already a viral TikTok sound). The cast of Talk To Me is pivotal to its success. Sophie Wilde delivers a compelling lead performance, with newcomer Joe Bird giving heft to the horror sequences. With news of a prequel and sequel already in the works, Talk To Me has brought an exciting franchise to A24. 8.5/10.",8 "The Last of Us show has become the most unoriginal and a tired mess of cliches in this TV series storylines. I heard a bit of buzz surrounding this TV program but I'm very disappointed to watch this drivel and predictable plot lines. I previously liked exploring new shows and creative storylines but Hollywood has been dredging up old, tired scripts and warping them to fit unrealistic characters and cliché endings. I would like a new TV show storyline developed with realistic characters. Where has Hollywood's creativity gone? It seems like the same stories get repeated over and over. How boring!",1 "What can be said about (the show) Loki? Outside the beautifully mesmeric sound of the opening title sequence, the already established brilliance of Tom Hiddleston as Loki and the surprising chemistry he shared with a witty Owen Wilson - there's not much that is refreshing, fun or interesting about the show. The entirety of the show, Loki - seems to exist for three (3) reasons. 1) Revive, reform, redefine, redeem and repurpose the character Loki. 2) Establish the multiverse and initiate the narrative for it. 3) Remedy or amend some of the senseless time-travel mumbo-jumbo shenanigans of Endgame by offering boring and senseless explanations. And while there is perhaps no fault in wanting to achieve the aforementioned - all those things where done so poorly that at the end you are glad that it's over. Worst of all is the show's production design, which was bland and uninspired. I could say watch the last 2 episodes and save yourself some time but even then I would not be saving you from the disappointment that Loki is.",4 A very realistic movie. Non-linear narratives in war films make me quite confused. And the character portrayal and plot are relatively thin.,6 I love Tarantino movies and I have been looking forward for this one a long time. Now I have seen it and I have to says it's a terrible movie. If a normal doesn't have me after 30/45 min I stop watching but because it's from Quentin I keep on watching for 2 hours and 41 minutes. And when the credit starts I realize I have wasted almost 3 hours of my life.,2 "I guess I'm going against the grain on this one. I've just watched this one, and will admit that I'm no Marvel super-geek, but like everyone else I generally enjoy the tentpole movies. They have been hit and miss, but as they have carried on they have become so same-y, a change was needed. So using the basis of the Mark Millar penned graphic novel ""Civil War""they have created this film. It's different, it's an interesting and for the uber-comic geek, it helps to to play to their fantasy who is the greater/stronger superhero. Yet for all that, I'm feeling dissatisfied. It's a long film watching our 'heroes' on each other's backs, yet the strory was strong enough and nor was the dialogue. Captain America is by far the star of the show, but every other superhero is also shoed in; this really is an Avengers movie without the title and suffers the same problem of overkill in characters. I'm not biasd in DC v Marvel, but both have to step back and re-review what they are producing. This level will see the genre decline, but there is a lot of life in it all. Hoping for better next time. A great premise and top marks for trying to take the genre in a different direction but really put more work into the story. Sometimes less is more.",4 "The only reason I watched The Menu was because of the high rating it received and man did it completely miss the mark. Slow paced from beginning to the end and never got any better. In my opinion the entire concept of this movie made no sense and was just down right stupid. John Leguizamo's portrayal of Stephen Seagal was the best part of the movie and I'm sure he really is that sleazy in real life. That being said, I would not recommend this movie to anyone unless you absolutely had nothing better to do with your life and that's questionable. I mean if I had a choice I would rather watch paint dry.",3 In a sentence I can say it was great and full of excitement with a strong screenplay.,7 "Never hold a grudge against your opponent, it will make you lose your mind. Part 1 is great. And this is better.",10 "GOT had fascinating characters and actors who portrayed them. I'm just not finding any in this new iteration of GOT with House of the Dragon. So, it really hurts the show. Plus the characters are all over the place. In one episode they are evil, in another they are good. The writing keeps contracting itself. Maybe they're trying to create complex characters and falling flat on their faces with the execution. I don't know? Also, if you can name more than five characters in this series after the first Season I congratulate you, because they were not that memorable to me, which is unfortunate. The first season is really a soap opera about two women growing up, and the children they bear. There's only one linear story, and no plot twists that you weren't expecting. The political intrigue that was so fascinating in GOT is here, but it's taken down a lot, to feel like it's ""watered down"". Now, they do copy the look of GOT really well, and it feels like GOT, so they get props for that. But, that's not enough to raise this above an average show. Also, with the ending of the final episode it does give hope that maybe Season 2, might be more exciting. So, there might be hope. Btw, I'm amazed at all the great reviews. It's like we were watching different shows? Or maybe we are just so desperate for more GOT we are more forgiving of it's faults. I for one, was not. Still, it wasn't a disaster, just not that good. 6/10.",6 Opinion from books and games hardcore fan Apologize for too short review,5 Was Ani the producer of the show !!! How can someone cast such a stupid character !!! Highly disappointed by that character !!! 3rd season was the worst till now !!! Couldn't watch all episode at one go. it's better to end the Series rather than stretching it without solid plot. Don't waste money and time on next season. Scrap it.,1 "This show is so boring and slow at times. Charlie Cox is great. Vincent D(don't know how to spell it) too. It's shot well but overall I don't like it. At all really. Some cool fights but it's like 1 good fit for every 4 hours of boring crap. I suffered through season 1 just cus I wanted to see the suit. Not worth it. Season 2 sucked and I really struggled to finish it. Gave up after that. Saw bits and pieces of season 3 on YouTube. This series is vastly over rated and boring, but to be honest all superhero TV shows USUALLY suck. I think my biggest thing is everyone is so unlikable. Elektra sucks. Punisher sucks (preferred Thomas Jane). Foggy is whiney and annoying. Karen sucks. Stick is a jerk. To be fair, it's not the actors, it's the characters. I don't care about any of them.",3 "A disaster for a number of reasons! Such a disappointment, especially from Christoper Nolan... Firstly, the biggest grave, monumental mistake Warner Bros or Christoper Nolan made with this movie is, to 'try' and certify the horrors of war into a 12 certificate! How can anyone portray the TRUE terror and trepidation of war with a 12 certificate?! You simply cannot. And here wherein lies the most significant problem with this movie! As one reviewer aptly put it, this is, 'Dunkirk, The Disney Version'. It is such a shame it's so tame... The subsequent monumental mistake, as mention above in the title, is the soundtrack. It does not fit the movie at all! So for that reason, there is no feeling or suspense that's meant to make you feel gripped as if you were right there on the sands of Dunkirk. Usually, the soundtrack and the movie are designed to fall in love with one another ('Blade Runner' springs to mind), thus, forming an epic film. This does not happen with 'Dunkirk' whatsoever, which leaves the movie bland, lifeless, and even boring. I found myself reaching for my phone, rather than being on the edge of my seat.",1 "Director Vasan Bala strikes an excellent balance of style/ form and substance/ content while using the combination of cinematography, editing, music and dialogue to a devastating effect. A directorial flourish and elan not seen much. I would like to call it pulp panorama. Even during a deadly scuffle you have rock music in the background. There is a twist at the end of every scene. If you have liked "" Ludo"" and "" Loop lapeta"" you will also like this movie. There is quirkiness, bizarre situations, passion, blackmail, murder and more in nicely crafted scenes. This is a dark gripping suspense thriller in the noir genre. There are shades of crime based stories of Hindi films of 60s ( Shakti Samanta, Raj Khosla). Also there is the infuence of the Anuraag Kashyap, Anuraag Basu and Sriram Raghavan movies. With Vasan it is clear that there is an auter in the making. A plus point is the almost perfect casting. Rajkummar Rao is brilliant as the small town guy caught in a web of his making. He is very convincing. ( Watch his terror as he confronts the cobra). Not lagging behind is Huma Qureshi who scores big time as the tantalizing temptress cum femme fatale. The characterisation seems to be patterned after the vamps of old films but with nicely laced contemporary hues and demeanour. Radhika Apte has done well as the cop drawling the one liners effectively. One however wishes her role was a little longer. The rocking foot tapping music is splendidly interwoven in the narrative. The songs give a jazzy look to the movie. The cinematography and editing have given a fast pace with not a dull moment. Go for it.",8 "Umbrella academy is a decent show that try a new approach into the Super Heroes genre. Its sometimes witty, sometime absurd, it has good humor and sometimes it fell flat. The soundtrack is incredible but is missuse to the point i was wondering if Spotify has started in the background while i watched the show. But my main grip with the show it is lack of communication between characters. It is a cheap trick used by the writer to hide certain fact from a character by, per exemple, not include them in a room while important information was given. If they were there, or even heard, all the plot would have fell apart. Or when 2 mains characters with very important information FINALY talk to each other, they dont really; they will argue, they will cut each other, they will storm out of the room or even vanish before exchanging the life-saving information. It is cheap, lazy writing and allow drama and death that should be avoided in any normal situation. It is very frustrating to watch as a spectator and I never get why writer do that in the first place. Roméo and Juliette is perhaps the most famous case of that syndrome and they both died like idiots by the end.. I have no clues what are the lessons I, the audience, can draft out of this aside from : FREAKING TALK TO THE OTHER... This show is pretty much that. While it is well made, this cheap trick drove me nut the entire time. Still waiting for the season 2. I guess they cant fool me twice, can they?",6 This show made me feel like it's the end of MCU. The last one was Avengers vs. Thanos...,6 It wasnt bad. It was just not realy that good. Spiderman movie was better.,6 "Its a great story that portraits the Nature of emotions, with great characters and an excellent build of harmony with Its own world. Every aspect of it has a group of great power for the inner soul of any individual that watch it. Also the character of Ang its very charismatic and forward going, which makes a great leading and backbone to the story.I really liked apa too he is a very good friend and has those big eyes to see his good spirit and soul.the four nations are well explained and You get a understanding of the power of the elements in our life. I wish for that type of power and harmony in our own world.So congratulations to the creators of this epic story and well achieved.",10 "Action scenes were great. While the movie didnt make much sense in the first place, it was really bizarre how half of the movie was showing various places in Abu Dhabi, trying to deptict various locations like Las Vegas or Hong Kong. If you spend that much money on a movie you should at least film in the proper locations.",3 "I read the reviews to this movie thinking hmm?! Everybody seemed to like this film. I thought it was a combination of creepy, scary, funny and sad all mixed in together. The creepy thing about it is the seances with the dead and the possession of the body. The movie had eerie jump scares and nasty images, especially the one with the kid who smashed his face against the table and walls. That was incredibly disturbing, just the way I like my horrors. The movie alone was absolutely hilarious with the fat dog making out with the boyfriend. That was incredibly obnoxious. The acting of every character including the unknown main character was fantastic. I liked all the characters, even the dead ones. I thought the movie moved along at a moderate pace without any boring scenes. It was sad and depressing for the most part, with the main characters mother parts were quite depressing especially what happened to her. The effects and makeup of the blood and guts were strong. It looked real and the brutality of the dream sequences was weird. The one when the girl licks the boyfriends foot. That was nasty. Overall, it was similar to Midsommar except the ending was not as pleasant for the main character. The movie reminds me of those Ouija Board Djinn summoning movies. The premise is similar to insidious, however, this movie is unique and there are scenes where the characters all get possessed by different spirits which was cool. If you are a fan of horror, this delivers the goods. I cant wait to see what horrors await during halloween. When this is released to DVD, i would definitely purchase it.",10 "As long time fan of SRK it was a reprieve to see the refreshing take on the superstar's true identity and his fan's craze towards their beloved star. This movie works solely on the acting profess of SRK. His last few movies have failed recapture the charm of the king of bollywood. Though they minted crores of cash, it didn't do him any wonders in elevating him up the scale of the great actors. FAN, as the title says is certainly a step in the right direction for SRK, the kind of SRK we all grew up watching and being enchanted. Though, to be honest this isn't his best movie by a long shot, but it's truly enough to satisfy every die hard SRK fan who was disappointed with his last few outings. The first thing to appreciate about this movie is the raw sincerity and efforts put in not just by SRK, but by the entire crew indeed. That surely sends in a message that we are in for a different kind of cinematic experience. Secondly, SRK in both the roles, that of a crazed revering fan and a superstar, nails it, His dialogue delivery as the local Hindi speaking Delhi boy is impeccable and his mannerisms as the superstar, to command love and respect among his fans as well as maintaining his conviction is a treat to watch. His role as Gaurav is incredibly haunting and is sure make you feel his pain and tear up at least in a couple of scenes. We all knew that SRK could flex his acting muscles and I'm sure glad that he did. Gaurav is one role that SRK has lived through and experienced the wrath of every fan of his. The movie, which seems to be going strong throughout an engaging first half falters more than just a few times in the second half. Gaurav becomes a full blown vengeance seeking psychopath and the script breaks all folds and barriers of logic. It is still a mystery as to how Gaurav was able to make to the different foreign locations depicted in the movie and so conveniently deceives people posing as Aryan Khanna's imposter. And there are lengthy chase sequences between the 2 SRK's, and mind you, lengthy as in a 100 minute movie. It is a tragedy that though these chase adrenaline jerking sequences though beautifully choreographed, amount to nothing. However, the movie still keeps it's audience at their edge by not seeping into a melodramatic tone. It is a performance driven movie that SRK carries entirely on his shoulders. It sure is sufficient enough for every ""Gaurav"" of his to fall back in love with their superstar. Definitely watchable.",8 "What's with all the praise!!? Why do people like it soo much!!? Oh its a gag/parody anime?? Didn't make me laugh! Ok its animation and fight scenes are amazing but the storyline is boring and i had to force myself through season 2! Two words-HIGHLY OVERRATED.",7 "A 5/10 is generous. If I were rating relative to most other Sandler movies (as opposed to as a standalone flick) it would be a 1/10. We love Sandler movies but this is the second Netflix joint (other one being ""The Week Of"") that I've seen that has underdelivered. Can't get over the relatively high ratings from others of the film. Not his or her best work by far. Loved the match-up in ""Just Go With It"". This missed the mark.",5 So far the only negative reviews I have seen are because of series director's political views lol even though the show's antagonist is a Muslim guy but bhakts are feeling attacked by few scenes where they are portrayed negatively which are inspired by true incidents.,9 "I have not read the book so I can't touch on how the movie stands up to that, but as far as a movie by itself it was passable. A large portion of the movie is told strictly through animation and CGI, and it stands up well and doesn't intrude on the story. The story however, does run into a lot of fundamental problems that might have attentive viewers rolling their eyes. Without engaging too heavily in spoilers, there are what the narrative tries to tell us are supposed to be romance scenes that are either completely laughable or difficult to watch, and basically goes from slightly interesting to basic cut and dry fairy-tale rather quickly. If you're a parent, you can probably take your kids to enjoy it and you'll be able to sit through it (as long as you're okay with the oddly liberal usage of swear words that feel thematically strange in the context of what seems like a family friendly movie) and your children will have fun with the action scenes, CGI and any pop culture references they might recognize. However if you want to go into this movie seeking any sort of depth outside of what is just another CGI filled popcorn movie, maybe you'll be disappointed. If it interests you check it out but if you don't already want to see it you won't be pleasantly surprised.",6 This show was very interesting and pretty good but season two is so bad it's putting me to sleep. Mediocre and a waste of time. I think the show died really quick.,3 "I really disliked this film for its concentration on the only showing a seamy and oddball side of Japanese life. How Hollywood would have complained if the film was made in reverse with Sunset Boulevard and all its downtown grubbiness was shown in the background. I did think that Murray's character had this sort of cynical depth, a desire not to engage with japan and just get the heck out of there as soon as possible. I have now seen Scarlett Johannson in both her major films and she must surely start demanding roles with an adequate volume of words, the knowing looks can not always be relied on to convey her feelings in the film. Perhaps, we could have a ""Lost in Translation"" film working against the seamy side of US life for all our interests.",1 It's a really good show if can say. But i just don't get why everyone is so hyped by this show it's a masterpiece i agree but not the best i have seen better i just think everyone think that next episode will be awesome and because of that they rate 10/10 i have no really complains about this show and i think if you will watch it you will love this journey i promise but if you not are a fantasy guy is this not for you because this show so much fantasy but the fantasy is so long away you can get from a Isekai i mean it's have a story that no show have told yet and that is so cool i don't think you will find another story with huge titans!,9 "This movie was well done and had some wonderful actors, the acting was excellent but the story is ridiculous. I was able to get past most of the numerous flaws of the movie up until the get in the canoe. Once they arrived at the canoe the whole movie became nearly impossible to watch without wanting to start saying how things would never happen that way or this way. The whole movie is just too perfect in how things worked out for her. It was decent entertainment but not a very good movie. The only reason I rated the movie a 6 is because of the acting. The kids did an amazing job, way beyond their years. John Malkovich is legendary, Sandra Bullock did a very good job holding the story together as did everyone else. If you want a plausible movie, keep looking. If you just want entertainment then watch it and see what you think.",6 "I would say ""The Last Airbender"" is one of the best animation series that I have ever seen and reviewed over and over. The characters are awesome and have an incredible story, which overflows with comedy. Whenever I see an episode, I find myself crying from laughing so much. So, just wanted to thank for the moments that this series partook me. Praise, undoubtedly, the work of the writers animators and creator, and finally, recommend to all who haven't seen it, yet.",10 "Firstly, mars soil is extremely toxic and if inhaled can kill the user immediately, we see multiple times matt damon enter his station with dust on his suit, even a small part of this in the air is deadly, the decompression does nothing to this. He also just walks into his Rovers and they seem to be perfectly clean every time, no dust, nothing, and he also just goes and sits down with his dusty suit on, and just takes his helmet off like that's totally safe... No. Any astronaut living like this on mars would of died after a week.",5 "Visually stunning movie with a trite, tired story that we have seen done over and over again. I could barely sit through this long tiresome mess of a movie.",4 "I had a few expectations; flashy, song driven, CGI ones. I got that, but what I didn't get was a good storyline. Maybe this would have been better split into a 10+ episode tv series where the story didn't move so incredibly quickly from scene to scene and the characters could have been given better individual stories. It got to the fire... and within a few minutes it was over after a touchy feely smothering hug, and i was left like..... ""and when does the story start? Ohhh... it's over. Ok then"". Talk about disappointing. Even his wife's father was an extremely disappointing limp character with no fight in him. ^sigh^",2 "A shame that this movie is rated so highly on IMDb. Let me tell you this, this movie is NOT a masterpiece and doesn't even deserved to be among the top 250 of the best movie of all time. A true masterpiece has to be flawless and this movie is worth at most 5.8, no more. The neuro-nonsense that follow suit from a scientific and a philosophical point of view, Inception doesn't make any sense at all...Inception must start with a self-consistent theory of how the human brain works. What is a memory? What is a dream? Because most of us human beings walk around with only very fuzzy answers to these questions, filmmakers are able to take rather outlandish positions on them without arousing any hackles.In the case of Inception, the unstated premise of dreaming is that one one is asleep, one is inhabiting what essentially amounts to a parallel reality external to the mental state of the dreamer. This premise makes for an admittedly entertaining film, but it is preposterous. Dreaming is an entirely subjective experience; everything is an illusion generated and perceived by the brain itself. You can no more ""enter"" someone else's dream than you can enter into a movie that's playing on the multiplex screen.If you ""wake up"" from a dream and realize that you're still dreaming, you haven't entered a different level of some dream-reality continuum -- you've just experienced another illusory sensation. Contrary to the premise of the film, there is no ""architecture"" of a dream. We may feel like we're inhabiting an elaborate, detailed and consistent landscape, but that's just part of the illusion. There are some ideas about dreaming in the film that are actually accurate. For instance, it's true that they are powerfully influenced by emotion and subconscious cognition. And we often do wake ourselves with a powerful muscle spasm, which sleep researchers call a ""hypnic jerk."" But the movie also trades in ideas that amount to little more than folklore. It toys with the old idea that if you die in your dream, you will also die in real life.In the movie, if you die in your dream, you will enter a kind of coma. For obvious reasons, there is no evidence for bangungut-like phenomena, or rather any evidence has gone with the dreamers to their graves.What about the idea that time slows down within a dream, that an elaborate sequence of events in dream-space can take place in a few seconds of real time? As it happens, this claim has been investigated by researchers exploring lucid dreaming, and the results indicate that if there is any such effect, it is fairly small. Okay, but does any of this matter? Scientific error is rife in popular entertainment.I'm prepared to argue that Inception's misconceptions are both symptomatic and enabling of a damaging confusion that is rife in American society: namely, that between the internal subjective reality within our minds and the external, universally accessible reality of the ""real world."" It is this confusion that give rise to magical thinking and its myriad manifestations, from prayer-healing to ""The Gift"" and mystical notions about near-death experiences.Confusion about the boundary between dream and reality is particularly endemic among the religiously inclined, who often perceive dreams as the source of real-world information. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Israel, for instance, is located on a spot identified in a dream by the Emperor Constantine's mother, Helena. The perfect metaphor of this movie would be like this:""I liked it,""""I didn't really understand what was going on, but I liked it."" A tad overrated movie that need to be drop out of the top 250 movies list of all time. I'll give him 2 stars for the CGI effects who were indeed well done. That is all.",2 "Netflix marked ""13 Reasons Why"" as TRENDING. I found it to be a poignant series. Some characters treated Hannah horribly, others just treated her as most other 16 or 17 year old kids. But, the series reinforced the idea that you never really know how ones behavior impacts others. So, it was a reminder that I must treat all people with dignity and respect. My behavior could be the thing that sends someone over the edge and they do something irrational. Some other reviews said that mental illness can't be cured with kindness. True, but had people treated Hannah well, then she would not have been driven to the point of taking her own life. Also, when you are 16 years old, you do not have the resources to seek help without assistance. Hannah begged for help and was ignored. What is the take-away? BE KIND TO OTHERS!",9 When I watched the first episode I predected the last of story!! But I watched all episodes and that was pretty amusing but some episodes was very very boring... but anyway if you love chess I recommend you to watch it because it has very low episodes and you can finish it very fast!!,7 Until we stop going to this garbage they won't stop making them. They didn't even try.,2 Storyline was ok. Solid acting. Too silly in some parts.,7 "If this is your kind of film, is a film that is worth seeing in the theatre. If you remember the old film GIANT with Liz Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean, this film is similar in the huge vistas and visual scope that is so effective on the big screen. It also covers the span of twenty years or more. Like Giant, it also has some performance unevenness (but Giant was much better balanced than this). This is also the story of an oil man in late 1800s California, a real scrapper and wheeler-dealer, so it is very much one man's story. Daniel Day Lewis does his usual searing portrayal, but it is seriously marred by his vocal choice to imitate John Huston. It is very distracting, and I and many others found ourselves thinking ""whose voice is that"" throughout the film. It is such a specific voice to imitate. It's a big role, tempestuous and cranky and on the edge, and that takes it to the edge, and at least one friend found his performance ultimately too hammy. I thought it was pretty true to the character he and the director had created. But his is a bravura stage performance while everyone else is doing this modern blasé under-acting. (That is a directing problem of balancing performances.) Weaker, commercial actors in supporting roles. Several actor friends and I agreed that this is definitely best picture worthy. As for Lewis, an Oscar worthy ROLE, but maybe not an Oscar worthy performance. (I JUST figured out why... his character doesn't change! We meet him fully formed and the same as the end.) An American actor doing this same performance would have been slammed by every critic – he gets an award. The film is long, 2.5 hours, but it breezes by and never felt long to me. One friend thought it dragged, but she doesn't like to sit down. It actually feels as if it should have been a longer film that was cut down, because near the end, there seemed to be a few pieces missing. Perhaps it shouldn't have been cut, but, like GIANT, it needed an intermission? What is great here is that while GIANT focused on the melodrama of the family and the emotional workings, this film is much grittier. With almost no dialogue in the first twenty minutes, we have a grimy, working man's view of the way these early oil men worked alone and in small teams in the holes, in the mud, in the oil. This is a working man's film, a man's film, and I recommended it to my father. There are almost no women in this film, and they are completely tangential. Pretty true to life for the 1800s. (That's Hollywood in 2007... the only significant female role is under 14 years old.) The art direction and cinematography here are top level. The exacting detail of the working conditions, the lifestyle, the problems of the work, is what raises this film up as if it were a documentary of live history. It says volumes without words, and that is great film-making. This also has a really interesting score that grows and changes throughout. It incorporates ""noises"" in a musical way that is surprising but makes organic sense and I think that is part of why the film moves so well. The film is based on a novel by Upton Sinclair, and it is really surprising that this is not being made more of in the publicity. I guess they're afraid our national literacy is so low that people would just say ""upton who?"" Sinclair had a very dark world view, and it shows especially in the portrayal of religion. Unfortunately, I think the casting of the role of the young pastor is very weak. This actor doesn't seem to understand his role; no glimmer that spiritual refection and humility can come from a position of strength and passion. Again, no real growth in the portrayal of this character (and no age makeup at the end… he still looks 16). This all throws the strength and focus of the film back to Lewis. The middle of the story has some nice twists, and perhaps the strongest interactions. Not for everyone, it is a natural fit for the folks who liked 3:10 to Yuma, or classic westerns. If this is your kind of film, it is worth seeing on the big screen.",4 "'My Name Is Khan' is not any ordinary film, it's a special film. Not only for Karan Johar, SRK & Kajol but even for cine-fans like us. Coming to the point, 'My Name Is Khan' gets a thumbs up from my side. The filmmaker is in form, so are the star-actors. The film has a fantastic first hr, the second hr does slip, but makes it up by the climax. We ""viewers"" thrust for a good film, here it is. A film that leaves a lovely moral behind, which says: There are only 2 types of people in this world, 1 are the good ones & the other are the bad ones. Wow! Is the world hearing?? Karan Johar's direction & writing. He has matured as a storyteller, his last 'KANK' was a dud, but he strikes back with 'My Name Is Khan'. Shibani Bathija's dialog are exceptional. The camera-work by Ravi.K Chandan is excellent. He captures every frame beautifully. Music by Shankar-Eshaan-Loy suits the mood of the well very well. Coming to the acting department, SRK excels. This his best work since 'Swades' & 'Chak De India'. Kajol, however, steals the show with a outstanding performance. She's incredible! And of course, she looks amazing. Jimmy Shergill & Sonia Jehan do their bit well. Zarina Wahab is exceptional in a cameo. Parvin Dabbas is good, so is Arjun Mathur. Vinay Pathak is wasted. Navneet Nishan is passable. Tanay, who plays SRK's childhood is excellent. The second hr loses pace. The pre-climax, the entire Georgia portion is a yawn. It could've easily been avoided. Summing up statement: A Must See Film!",7 "Steve Martin , Martin Short and Selena Gomez are so good together.",10 "Based on the well known video game of the same name and adapted for television by Craig Mazin (Chernobyl, Hangover pt II), we follow Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as they travel across the US 20 years after a zombie apocalypse has broken out. With a surprising amount of characters for a show primarily about two people, this first season really made me appreciate how under-utilized Pedro Pascal has been in the Mandalorian so far, he really plays a phenomenal, nuanced character in these sorts of roles. Ramsey was Ellie was good, and the rest of the cast suited fine, and for a character driven series most felt realistic at least to a degree that didn't take me out of the story. I often found myself asking ""where's the gameplay?"" until of course any shooting scene or scene moving furniture / ladders around, there are scenes that certainly feel straight out of a game. That's not to fault it, it was of course a game, so I think works for the most part, however I found myself not believing much of the grander overarching plot more as the series progressed. The zombies were well designed, but the factions and political drama got to be a bit much. I get it, humans are the real bad guys, but with a lot of commentary on what it means to be good, and how most of us are just trying to keep living, I found myself continually engaged but often questioning motivations. If you loved the games (I have yet to play them), or you like this sort of post-apocalyptic narrative I would certainly recommended. Was good, will watch part II.",7 It had such a great cast of f characters. I find it interesting and relaxing at the same time. Definitely something to look forward after a long day. I am so happy to see Steve Martin and Martin short in this show. They are as great as they have ever been.,10 "Thats the worst movie I've seen in the past few years, and I've watched 50 Shades of Grey :D",2 Now that's what I call a sequel. It had everything a perfect movie needs and it had all plus more.,10 "Community is my favorite show (barely) on TV. This series has a lovable group of misfits thrown into the most interesting, quirky, and goofy situations, and they always emerge (almost) on top. From the star studded cast displaying some fantastic acting chops (Donald Glover, Joel McHale, and Alison Brie particularly shine) to the upbeat writing and great pacing, this show is a must see. It understandably has earned a strong following with a small, but dedicated group of fans. The largest pitfall of Community lies within its tendencies to over indulge in itself and content occasionally, leaving a slightly off-putting taste in your mouth. This small criticism aside, Community is a wonderful time, and deserves yours.",8 "At a loss to figure out why this film 1) won best picture of the year US Oscars 2) Cannes Palme d'Or. Also at a loss to understand why film categorized as a comedy. There are moments of humor, but they are few and far between. The violence is also unwelcome. On the Oscars award: ""Joker"" is a much stronger candidate. At least the audience has been advised of the violence in advance. Save yourself time, and possibly money. Skip it",2 "I red the books, I played the games. The Witcher pc game series are my favorites, where Gerald is a very masculine, strong character. In the show the actor who playes Gerald, it's exactly the opposite, he looks like a Chippendale guy with a bad wig. Yennifer looks like a porn actress, Triss looks like Geralds mother. I was very disappointed when I watched a few episodes, I didn't finished the whole season because I thought that it's just a waist of time.",3 "I've only watched 2 episodes so far but I'm hooked. It's a tv show I find myself not even useing my phone at all during. Even to get on here to see if I know a person from something else. Why can't people just be happy that they made a show. I'm glad I see more good reviews than bad. Over people giving bad reviews cuz they didn't get their way or things don't go the way they want. Well then maybe you should be the writer and behind the camera then don't ya think? Bet it be horrible cuz you wouldn't know what your doing lmao 😂. And then you'd be the one with the bad reviews. Just like things for what they are, cuz it's a gift that we even get things like sequels and or shows that didn't necessarily need to happen",9 "Cavil was the perfect casting for the role of Geralt. An awesome actor for an awesome role in an awesome series. Cavil truly carries the greatness of this show on his shoulders. It's a pity the scriptwriters went all wonky on the time line. In many instances you don't know the difference between a flash back and the present. This is a huge let down, and does not do the acting and overall feel of the series any justice. You basically have to start a meditation session in concentration to figure out what happens where and then you are still not sure what fits where. They should fire the whole lot of script writers! You are supposed to entertain your audience and not confuse them! Perhaps watching it a second time will be a little bit more enlightening but then again that will feel like work. If you're an avid couch potato you avoid any kind of work when it comes to couch-potato things...",8 "Uh I just saw spiderman 2 as a team outing. It's not that good. I mean it's OK. But there are times where I thought I was watching a B rated horror movie (in terms of the style of cinematography and cheesy dialog, I was thinking Army Of Darkness, which the main character of that movie happened to play the usher). That aside, I think they were going for a comic book feel on that. So then, 80% of the movie is slow ass crap. Which is either the love story situation, or the whole 'those who have a gift must use it for good' melodrama. There were times were I was borderline about to just walk out and finish it later when it comes out on DVD. Though it woulda been hilarious if when Harry, who was whining about his dad the entire movie, at one point when he see spiderman is Peter and goes ""You killed my father! (for the 500th time)"" instead of Peter going ""there are bigger things going on than you and me..."" but rather said ""Dude, get over it already."" They also coulda delved a bit more into why Peter was losing his powers. I was guessing that it was related to being totally stressed out. But the powers mysteriously come back at peak stress. Oh wait, lemme guess it's because ""he believed in himself."" (yawn) Spiderman 2 was dumbed down for kids. I don't think action movie goers care for the 2hr chick flick that this movie was, nor do kids. Love stories are always introduced for one primary purpose: it's inexpensive. Not that this movie was low budget, but if you chopped out 30 mins of the ""filler"", you would have had a better impact. Ah well... All in all 6.5/10.",6 "Disclosure: Yes I know there will be a second season but that's not the excuse for 6 episode format, which the biggest problem of this TV show. I don't know what's with the trend lately to cut seasons into a rushed chunks of high quality production and think that will make up for everything. First of all, everything fills rushed. Everything is happening too fast. The villian is lame and it might have not been, if some effort was put into setting up the background for his big reveal .... instead we are getting 2nd season around him - just lame. The plot is full of twists, that twist itself in comical and unsatisfying *pop* way. To clarify, they build a wrapper of tension and uncertainty. That builds up expectations and theories, that go down the sink with the reveal and feel so underwhelming. Actors are doing what they can, no complaints there but this is not a comic book, you need to let things settle with the time and not just go through material like it's a rolling book and pages are flipping. It would have been great but overall it's just okay and the only reason I kept on watching is of course. Tom Hiddleston. Owen Wilson and promising Sophia Di Martino. Bottom line cast was strong, production was on par with movie production but the plot and pacing is the hog of the show and I am not all that excited to see what comes in 2nd season, especially because of the unfulfilling cliffhanger that marked season finale.",7 "A really funny film with plenty of action and great pace. The plot is a bit thin and, at times, a little obvious but it's still a good film and well worth a watch.",7 "I think either most people rated it after first two episodes, or most reviews are fake. I watched four and maybe I'll change my rating if I ever force myself to watch the rest of it. You can't just give detectives ready solutions and answers and expect me to still watch this show. It is too stupid and boring.",2 "Mature content...........with a Kashyap touch, Nawaz Bhai and THE GAME BEGINS.....................a complete roller coaster ride......hard hitting language, stunning performances, brutal reality and of course ANURAG KASHYAP. ""Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost.""",9 "Easily the worst in the entire MCU. Terrible plot and script, and it all looked so cheap! Like an episode of Stargate or Lois and Clark. Can they not film on a real street? Not that overused music video backlot. Completely dismissed the ending of WandaVision, which really built on Wandas character, and this just tore it down. A waste considering Strange 1 was pretty impressive.",2 "A boring movie, not a particularly original story. The ending is such an outrageous pile of BS it actually makes a person feel something other than boredom. I don't see how this movie deserves the praise it got.",4 "Well what can I say about The Witcher? I have no background to have had a previous bias. I had never heard of the... video game? Book? Whatever it's based on I have no idea. As for the comparison to GOT I have never seen that show. Would like to someday but as of this review I know squat about GOT other than it was great but they blew it in the last season. So I hear. Anyway, back to the review. I really enjoyed this 1st season. Cavill is fantastic as Geralt. The fight scenes are great, really well coordinated. There really aren't any weak performances. Some are great some are pretty good but none bad or even sub par. The costumes, set designs, cinematography and CGI are all top notch. They clearly put a lot of money into this production. The flow is excellent. Not a whole lot of wasted screen time. It was hard to follow the time lines but upon a second viewing it all came together for me. It's even better after a second viewing. It seems to me that it's an allegory that sums up the corruption of our own world. Powerful nations do terrible things but justify their actions by saying it's for the greater good. There's xenophobia but it's aimed towards the different types of creatures that are oppressed. Especially the Elves. People of different color don't discriminate against each other. While some woke people will scoff at this I found it refreshing and interesting. It's not earth and it's more interesting to me that they pit Elves and nations against one another more than worrying about skin color. It's a nice break from all the terrible xenophobia we deal with in our own existence. History is written by the winners. It's all pretty aligned with the Roman/British/American rule that we have seen in our own existence. They do a good job of showing class systems. The fairly rich complain about the Royals while they beat their slaves and tell themselves they are better. Again this reminds me of the real world I live in and reflects properly how full of it a lot of people are. The story is very interesting. There are only a few things that don't seem to add up to me but I won't spoil it. It's nothing that ruins the storyline. There's just a character or two that are weirdly hypocritical about certain things. Which again reflects us, we're certainly hypocritical but still there's one thing a character complains about that this character made happen then acts like said character was forced to do. Maybe I missed something or the book or video game or whatever explains better. Again it doesn't ruin the show it just seems odd to me. Looking forward to season 2. I hope they don't screw it up!",8 "This is my 1st review in 10 years. It is probably the worse movie to be nominated on oscars.this is unacceptable ,worst movie seen in decades",1 "First of all, No one should support any bollywood content, not even 1%. thaliwale bachchan log sits with the elite group and what that elite group is everyone knows.",1 "The first 10 minutes of the film made me realize from where shawn mendes's song ""Lost in Japan"" was inspired by. if you look back, you'll see the same images and scenes from the song in the movie. when I was asked what this movie is about, I seemply ansered that the film is about an actor in his fifties or sixties who doesn't act anymore and a young lady who doesn't know what she wants to do in the future. eventually the two characters find comfort in each other's company. now I realize that the movie is about loneliness and how people can find comfort with people they like. I also love the idea that the film happnes in Japan where the characters can't comunicate easily with the people in tokyo, so the title of the film makes sense cause of the lost of the characters and how they can't understand anyone. also the colores of the film were really good and gave the film a colorful tone. overall i feel like the movie was fine, not my top choise to watch but fine. I think shawn mendes did it better with his song.",6 The movie is a masterpiece. Not only is it a excellent spiderman film but also a excellent Peter Parker film. It made Peter human. Topped with great script and acting from all the leeds it cements it as one of Greatest superhero films of all time.,10 "Fantastic character driven film that makes the viewer's question themselves. Both sides are right and wrong at the same time. You will go back and forth between which side you are on. Pros: 1) Great action scenes, especially the airport sequence 2) Spider-Man, Black Panther and Ant-Man stole the show 3) Each character gets their moment to shine (doesn't feel overcrowded at all) and acting is great 4) Extremely well written plot 5) Both sides provide valid points and reasons why they are fighting. 50/50: 1) Zemo is a great character and his reasons are solid. But his plan required a little too much ""coincidence"". Cons: 1) Some of the characters' motives for choosing sides aren't that clear or explained. Overall great film. 9/10. One of the best Comicbook movie of all time. And undoubtedly a great movie Tips: Though not 100% necessary, I would highly recommend seeing ""Captain America : The Winter Soldier"" and then ""Avengers : Age of Ultron"" to appreciate this movie. And to fully appreciate this movie see all MCU movies prior to to this.",9 Story and direction is good but acting is poor by the lead actress.,1 "With this year we have gotten 4 tv shows and more on the way, three movies and more on the way, Phase 4 (and Venom) have given us a lot, but What If has opened the door for all the potential of mulitiverse crossovers and stories we would not be able to get from other Marvel Properties. It brought new life to a tiresome formula. Not every episode is great, but the good outweighs the bad of the show. At times it does feel like the writers forget key details of the MCU, but in a vast multiverse, we have to get use to the idea of anything can happen! With three versions of spider man coming does anything have to make sense? I will highly recommend this show for anyone who loves marvel, and would give 7/10, its not perfect, but had great moments, awesome characters, and crazy stories with endless possibilities!!!!",7 "Even tho the acting was perfect the make up and the effects were perfect as a punisher fan i didn't like it and for good reasons, the punisher we used to know from the comics, the movies and the game was absolutely ruthless he had no mercy no regrets and not even one bit of hesitation he hunts evil people and enjoy it as they fear his name and run in terror at the first contact he plays with them like a kid playing with his toys but not this one the punisher from this series is weak and he is almost alive at the end of every fight almost (pathetic) he talks too much and express his feelings too much and he experience moments of fear and hesitation too much and what makes it even worse is that the story is anti punisher, whoever wrote the story doesn't understand the punisher, the story used to be about pure revenge in the worst way possible that's it simple, violent and fun now the story is attacking the punisher and every thing he represents, killing is wrong torturing is wrong your murdered family doesn't give you the right to kill, the show turned into a very boring agenda about why revenge is bad and worthless and i hate it because it's not fun anymore i have to wait for 5 episodes to see the punisher kill someone and 3 episodes more as he feel bad about it the story is not about a war and conflict between frank and his enemies anymore it's about a conflict between frank and the kids around him to figure out is killing bad guy is ok or not.",5 "You guys must have more knowledge about the Bangla accent and words.

Imagine saying a movie was shot in Manhattan but the location looks like Syria / Iraq. 2. Imagine a movie shot in Italy but everyone is talking in Indian accents.",1 "I gave this movie a 3/10 in an effort of making it have an appropriate overall rating. The movie lacks good singing, dancing and script. Contrary to most musicals, it has no real memorable scene that defines the movie. Main actors do a great acting job, but their additional skills (dancing & singing) are sub-par. In my opinion, if you like musicals don't expect much from this movie which I would believe should have a 6/10 overall. If you've never seen many musicals this movie might be refreshing, if it is follow it up by watching the top rated musicals here in IMDb like Singin in the Rain, Mary Poppins, Sound of Music, American in Paris, etc.",4 "28 January 2010. This hugely disjointed, unbelievable, and sometimes manipulative movie is one of the biggest disappointments of the year. There are so many plot points that don't really portray the consistent character or relational dynamics that are likely to be found in the circumstances this movie presents - the movie comes across more like a script writer's fantasy than an authentic, compelling, and engaging movie. There are so many predictable, stereotypical subplots as well as loosely thought out script points that the movie betrays a sense of incredibility. The obvious emotive plot points designed to illicit audience sympathy only served to distance not involve the audience. An over-rated movie that uses various plot devices to project a political correct movie in the guise of being anti-establishment.",5 "I just watched the movie and i absolutely loved it especially the acting that was captivating and to see how far the directors went from youtube videos to this and with the budget they worked with the more reason that i think that this is a totally amazing horror movie with barely any jumpscares which i also love and can't forget about the ending how it was pretty simple to understand,i saw some people complaining about how it felt dragged but to me i felt like that was a development to the story that got me more emmersed,so to conclude this i would say this movie is absolutely worth the watch.",9 "I can understand if there's people who love this movie, but for me the whole setting felt a bit too staged. Jim Carrey's role is different than what he usually plays and it's nice to watch him act; Winslet is okay I guess. The movie surely has it's unique parts, worthy being worshipped, but the whole thing didn't deeply touch me and for me it's ironically more a forgettable film.",6 Havent read the books i have just played a part of the game but henry cavill fits perfect for gerarld. The show is great but i would prefer if the flashbacks were more distinct,8 "I went to go see this last night and I'm shocked on how good this was. I didn't want the movie to end because it was sooooo good. Vicky Kaushal is an outstanding actor and this film makes you proud to be an Indian. From the beginning to end the film kept you wanting more. I recommend this film to everyone. If you want to feel proud then this movie will definitely make you feel proud when you come out. -""How's the Josh?"" ""High sir!"" -""Hows the josh?"" ""High sir!"" -""Jai Hind!""

Three prisoners escaping from Pretoria prison, two of them charged for fighting for black and white equality. However first half is very dull and slow, only another half is interesting and could bind you till very last scene. Ways of keys making is amazing idea, only we should keep in mind that the prison was not with tight security and they let prisoners to keep some items with them, otherwise it could be not possible. Daniel is perfect in his main role as always. Rest are just supporting. Watchable at once.",6 A 2 hour plot boringly told over 3 seasons. A poor remake of a good old series. Mediocre acting by a cast capable of more. Parker Posey could have brought Dr. Smith to life but the poor writing held her back. The high point of the series are the special effects. So slow it can't hold the attention of young people it was intended for. Sad.,5 "I stepped into the theater to watch 'My name is Khan' 1 month after I had watched Avatar,so I was mentally prepared to be let down as the bar raised by AVATAR was sky high.Also I felt that this movie would be a typical KARAN JOHAR flick with love story intermingled between family ties,also in bollywood,most over-hyped movie really disappoint,but 15 minutes into the movie,I just got absorbed in it,such that the magic continued till the end. The movie is basically comprised of adventures and misadventures of an Autistic named Rizwan Khan but beware,it is not one of those movies which cash on the sympathy of suffering from a anomaly,it does have a hero who has a heart of gold,but the movie carries a marathon message,it raises questions,like WHY ARE MUSLIMS SUFFERING POST 9/11? ARE ALL MUSLIMS TERRORISTS? WHAT EXACTLY DOES Islam TEACH AND MEAN? Being a Muslim myself and having suffered same extra security checks at airports just because of my religion,I really got connected to the movie instantly,the realistic depiction of life after 9/11 is much more effective than KHUDA KE LIYE or NEW YORK..But its not a movie for Muslims only,it asks non-muslims to judge the person and not the religion.Something any other bollywood movie hasn't ever done. Now to the performances,MNIK was tailor made for Shahrukh Khan as Rizwan Khan and it demanded an equally towering performance.Shahrukh has always been criticized for similarity in his acting performances but this role is entirely different.To play an autistic and deliver is not easy,and Shahrukh does it so naturally and perfectly.You get in love with SK in the very first scene in airport,you cry with him,you laugh with him,you fall in love with him and as the movie ends,you feel good for him,its not an easy task at all to accomplish,this is Shahrukh's best performance to date and this really silents people who question his number one slot in bollywood. Kajol has always been a class to see and this time its the same with her.Being a mother of 2,she doesn't look aged at all,though this time Karan Johar doesn't give her much screen time as compared to previous movies,but still when she is on screen,you just feel so fresh.Her role as Mandira who falls in love and marries Rizwan is a delight especially her scenes as mother.SK-Kajol Chemistry has always been a blockbuster (BAAZIGAR,DILWALE DULHANIYA LE JAAEN GE,KARAN ARJUN,KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI,KABHI KHUSHI KABHI GHAM) this is now 6/6 for their roles together and what an achievement that is. The rest of cast does fine especially Navneet Nishan does make you smile whenever she is on screen.The music of the movie is according to the flavor of the movie,cute,melodious and unlike other bollywood movies,doesn't slow down the progression of the movie. Another plus of this movie is the script written perfectly by Shibani Bhatija.The teachings of Islam intercombined with Sk's character,love story,sub plots all blend well,not a single piece of dialogue is weak,not a single scene blunt,but perfectly executed. Since he rose to stardom as director of KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI,there is always a lot of expectation from Karan Johar which rises with each of his movies,this time he changes gear to pure DRAMA,the movie has a Hollywood look to it,the scenes captured are really pleasant,be it Washington DC or Georgia,as you travel with SK,the camera angles the sky views,the scene where SK takes Kajol to top of a hill,the roads of Sans Francisco,its all a journey from A to Z and Karan's direction makes it utterly enjoyable.Well done. A lot of people have complained about the sub plots in 2nd half in the movie but people,this movie is just not a love story,but about the problems of Muslims in USA and also about the life of RIZWAN KHAN,so sub plots were needed to carry the movie forward.Don't listen to people who are criticizing this master piece,its an Indian epic and a very very different movie.Go watch it,feel it,and come out realizing NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS.",10 "McQueen has, in my opinion, done a great service to the world in delivering '12 Years a Slave' to the big screen. It offers a quality which other films shy away from or never truly live up to; the harshness and brutality of the real world. Where genre classics 'Roots' or 'Amistad' fell, '12 Years a Slave' picks up the pieces, forcing audiences to watch a disgustingly harsh and horrifyingly true two hours of rape, kidnapping and merciless punishment - a very real depiction of the slave trade. The emotion McQueen is able to capture through uncomfortably extended shots is unmatched and, although a little too awkward for more passive viewers, highly appealing to the veteran movie guru. If you're searching for the film to watch that will show you to the extreme the true conditions of the slave trade, without much hand- holding, '12 Years a Slave' will blow you away. However, I would not recommend this for the average passive viewer as some scenes may disturb you, beyond the point of appreciation.",7 "Coen Brothers make a truly original movie. It's not only the plot, it's how they build a fascinating world based on many memorable characters. There's Jerry, an absolutely disgusting human being who makes a deal to have his wife kidnapped in order to make money. But he is such a pathetic, natural loser that he doesn't have what it takes to make even this plan work. There's Marge, an eternally cheerful, unapologetically traditional Upper Midwesterner, an always hungry but still brilliant cop. And of course the partners in crime, Carl, who always talks too much, and Gaear, who lets his actions do the talking. Other great aspects of Fargo include the wintery setting that takes you straight to life in a small American town and the balance between comedy and tragedy, irony, humour, violence, tenderness (Marge's relationship with her husband) and depression (Marge's high school classmate, Mike). The camera work is nice, though nothing groundbreaking.",5 "That is, when you watch this film, it becomes very clear that there was a turning point in many place. Usually these kind of films come and there is a turning point, is it normal or not, it was very good. This is the first thriller film I have seen in my life and that too in a theatre. Thriller films have had a template for ages. Although this film is a little bit of that template, there are a lot of things in it that are suitable for Bud to watch and enjoy. As far as I know, anyone who goes to see this movie has finished watching this movie without getting bored anywhere while watching the movie in theaters.",10 "It's start with same as every superhero story he wants to be a hero He gets immense strong in short time doesn't makes the attachment to the character, also character like mumen rider, genos feels good but story doesn't go around any one not even around Saitama 1) Saitama was emotion less for first but when people stood against him he was angry what was that?? Also while fighting in tournament he fights against a Guy who was strong for Fun and Saitama got angry over that meanwhile he was talking that he was hero for fun! Didn't get it probably maybe but even if the character is too strong the fights should be interesting, There was nothing for actual fight of Saitama 2) They do more damage than avengers or justice league can unwillingly do not against it but the people gets saved or city gets evacuated like nothing 3) There is no good story telling (i forgot what i watched in few episodes ago only top mementos catch eyes, pasing was bad too Good thing i liked 👇 THE only character i really liked was garou he was something that i understood his backstory and his compassion for fighting and becoming something was truly joyful for me I haven't read the manga but I hope he achieves what he wants not putting spoilers Personally I always wanted a villain stronger than villain and also to win against hero i dont know where it goes Garou was best thing in OPM that's the only reason i watched it my friends recommended me cuz i already watched lot anime but i can guarantee if they don't make any better story it will be manga panels wonder in manga history not story or anything exceptional.",7 "This was a decent dramatization of the podcast. The problem I had was that Elizabeth Holmes was presented as - and had to have been - compellingly charismatic to get so many educated and seemingly smart people to get on board and stay unquestioningly on board. But there was nothing compelling about her portrayal. I was constantly confused by why people (in this version) would stay invested when treated so poorly, or when they had serious doubts. For some, it was ego and for others, it was the time they'd invested. But over and again, this version of Ms Holmes didn't engender the kind of loyal and enthusiastic following.",6 "Without going in to spoilers, let it suffice to say that all the bad stuff that happens in this movie is caused by the repeating stupidity and selfishness of the main cast. Every marvel movie requires a certain level of suspension of disbelief, but in their latest with they had to drastically decrease the intelligence of all good guys to make it a 'fair' match for the bed gay (singular). There was no other way to work such a big cast probably. The main redeeming factor is the extremely well done interaction between characters from different franchises and the jokes by themselves make the movie worth watching, just don't except anything from the story.",4 "Don't miss this!!! Just awesome fun watching and relishing the amazing actors romp together. Splendid performances from the entire cast - some scenes and dialogues it is extremely difficult to control your laughter! 3 of my most favourite actors enhance the topsy turvy and amazing plot! Radhika Apte's acting just unbelievable! Cannot stop raving about how good she has acted!! Huma Qureshi and Rajkumar Rao as usual carry the whole film on their shoulders! Delightful watching the other comics enact, the fight scene was so also realistic. Apparently an adaptation of a Japanese novel 'Burutasu No Shinzou' written by Keigo Higashino. In fact, those who have followed Sriram Raghavan's work would almost feel the spirit of Johnny Gaddaar (2007) lingering around throughout the film. I could very much feel the same. Overall verdict: Top notch! Must watch!!!",9 "After a June filled with movies that wanted to be nothing but popcorn fun but ultimately your popcorn bucket emptied, we were all looking forward to Inception bringing something intelligent to the screen. Man, what a huge let down. I guess you can't blame Inception for expectations and for the crap that came before it but those factors may have led to the disappointment. People labeling this film as smart are doing nothing but exposing their own ignorance. Either that or else, they're exposing their own vast imagination because they must have filled in scenes in their own head to compensate for this films obvious shortcomings. There was no thought put into the dialogue and the effects are certainly awful. The action scenes are weak simply because they scream cartoon. I know they have the ""Matrix excuse"" that lets them warp reality but the CG is too bizarre for my taste. The shocking thing is that most of entire movie lacks real energy and especially lacks heart. Anyone else think there was little chemistry between the stars? Everyone besides Leo seemed to intentionally deliver no personality or charisma. I knew Nolan was going for an Indy-bizarre flavor. So, I expected little character development but I did expect to care about something or someone in the film. That really never happens. What a shame. Can filmgoers want to love a film so much that they block out how bad the film turned out? Or, will they be jaded holding it up to impossible expectations? Maybe my expectations were too high but I was greatly disappointed by this movie. The writers of this film and YES, the director took a promising concept and turned it in to a blathering waste of effort. Hope can be a strong thing but hoping so hard that you'll love a film that you actually fool yourself in to believing its good is genuinely unhealthy.",2 "Heath Ledger's performance aside, this is a kid's movie masquerading as a serious one. Get over it. Ok, maybe I am being a bit of a snob and shouldn't judge people for their ardor towards a comic book hero they grew up idolising. But still, could someone please explain to me why the painfully dull Bruce Wayne and wooden Batman character has to be wasted on a brilliant actor like Christian Bale? Michael Keeton at least had a sense of humor about the whole thing which helped in the resurgence of his career in Birdman 20 years later. But there is absolutely nothing you can take home from Bale's performance which could have been played by absolutely ANYONE - Yes, even Ben Affleck, haha.",6 Both stars were very talented and did a convincing job. The movie was about 30 min too long. I really loved it and still liked it at 1 hr. 40 min.. After that I lost interest and it got really sappy. Needs to be RE-EDITED!!,3 "What a waste of talent and money! 3 and a half hours of Scorsese revisiting his old Mafia schtick. At least Joe Pesci got paid for this mediocre lump of footage. What a waste of Netflix budget . Nothing new, it ends up being a: ""A few old guys tell a story nobody cares to hear about , without any creativity, but with a big lump of the budget spent on the ""rejuvenation CGI"" . A total waste . Netflix, ""El Camino"" cost one 8th of the sum , but provided more entertainment value. Consider this.",5 "It feels like some AI algorithm wrote this series. Every character\episode resemblance something else. Here is just few samples: Umbrella from Mary Poppins Title is the play on ""Police Academy' Mom (Grace) from Stepford wives Vania waking up for the sound of the train from Stalker (Tarkovskiy) Fat woman in the pool at the opening scene from ""Nocturnal Animals"" Birth giving from ""The Other"" Some dead body in plastic from Twin Peaks and the list goes on and on and on and on... even falling chandelier is copied from the ""Lara Croft""...! Not a single unique idea topped by non-existing plot.",1 "There was so much I liked about this film but, and it's a big but, it TRULY felt like a rough cut edit of a final film. A sharper more satisfying film was so close to the surface I felt - especially in the first 2 hours. In many ways it reminded me of how I felt about Death Proof (or my 'recollection' of how I felt about Death Proof - I watched that a long time ago!) which was that the preamble was just about worth sitting through to get to the climax. Anyway, I'd read enough to know the first two hours were slow so I prepared myself for it, expecting I could withstand a meandering love letter to Hollywood, but even with this knowledge I genuinely struggled with some of the longueurs. Having said all that it is still worth seeing and there's many moments that show Tarantino can still surprise and delight. I just wish he had more trust in an editor at this stage of his career. It would do him the world of good I feel.",6 "This film was not a good depiction of the real Dunkirk. Take note from great story telling of WW2 like The Longest Day, Midway or Tora Tora Tora. This whole new generation idea of adding stupid drama among a few characters as the main plot is so boring. This was a pathetic as The Patriot or Pearl Harbor.",1 "says the main character of the film. Well, the same for me. Is this a comedy, a black comedy? People being shot, grounded, murdered? Is it funny? Do people laugh at thing like those? I always thought a comedy was about light entertainment, smiles and an occasional laughter. But, in Fargo from the very beginning till the very end there is no funny moments or situations... It is ugly, Fargo is a dark story with no happy ending. It is extremely overrated. If you fall for the mindless hype, and follow those raving movie critics Fargo is the movie for you. If you are a sensible person may be you should watch and try and understand what is happening to the world.",2 "Those are my number ratings for the three seasons. Loved Season One, despite the Karen character being a major player (Woll is not very good). Cox is solid and D'onofrio is good! Despised Season Two after the Punisher storyline becomes secondary. Elektra (Yung) here is an awful character and single-handedly wrecks the show. You grow to despise Daredevil for going along with her crap. But she's my old girlfriend...stupid! Not to mention all of the Hand garbage and Black Sky setup for Defenders. Season Three is much better all around!",6 "From the first/second episode they show that there were two Terry Maitlands with identical DNA at two different places at the same time. Hellooo??? The only explanation is an identical twin or something paranormal. The identical twin theory is taken out from birth records of Terry Maitland so the only other logical explanation is the paranormal. Why is it taking them seven episodes to figure this out? Especially that Holly Gibney has found two other EXACT same cases and has linked all three together. That is EXCELLENT POLICE WORK. And they have Glory Maitland sit in on the Holly Gibney presentation?!? That is the dumbest police station to allow the victims/suspects family to sit in on a briefing ESPECIALLY if the detectives haven't been briefed first!! I mean these are the dumbest police characters in an especially good show. The show is engrossing, makes you want to click next episode, etc. But the stupidity of the characters is appalling. Especially Terry Maitlands lawyer, who has ALL the evidence which shows Terry to be in two places at the same time, and he doesn't go public with this evidence to exonerate him??? This is like a fairy tale where we're told the prince just has to make out with the sleeping princess and she will wake up and get married to him!",8 "Its LMAO good! The first season was great, and the second season a little hard to follow, but thats not this kind of show. Its mindless comedy based in the now, the future, whenever.... its funny. So, dont expect anything to serious. The cast is great! You never know who is going to show up in this series, but there is always someone popping up. I binged watched the whole two seasons within two days. Each show is 30 mins. long, so it goes by quick. The series is very TMI, you never know what you will hear or see. I really liked it. The filming is good. The special effects are great. Its just a great Sci fi punk, crazy ride. Sit back and enjoy!",8 "Lemme just say one thing. If you want to make a movie with a singing protagonist, it doesn't matter if the actor can't sing, but it DOES matter if you cast a singer who can't act",2 "After the first couple of episodes of ""I am woman, hear me roar"", it improved to ""Mommie, Dearest"". A great Sci-Fi series, with amazing visual effects ruined by bad writing and directing.",7 I am talking about robert de niro yes I am talking about robert de niro well he's the only one here,10 "If you loved The Boys, you certainly would be eager to check out any and all spinoffs. This one tries to capture the magic but All the characters here fall flat and fail to grab intrest nor do you really care about them one way or the other. The attempts at gross humor are here in abundance as it is ib The Boys, but that only works when the writing is stellar and the characters are such that you care ,,,without that, gross humor as it is here, simply comes off as gross. Maybe its because they are kids and not adults or maybe its the ""Wokeism"" that again is being infused in Everything these days...The stories feel generic,uninteresting and lack the intensity and crazyness of the Original series..Some shows are ""Lightning in a bottle"" and just cannot be replicated even in a spinoff of the same genre..Its the magic of the chemistry of characters that all enhance and play off one another so well and edgy writing thats over the top yet Oh so good! Mixing intensity with humor,just the right way...That said, certainly check it out but dont expect the same level of entertainment...This show is Not in the same league.",5 Fvzvf xz vdggrg vc fgfdzgacc cCCC.PLEASE NOTE: There is a temporary limit on the volume of content each contributor can submit weekly due to a reduction in review capacity.

But, I have many others in my life, who I work with and live with, and so it was great to view the world through their eyes for a couple hours and get my head around issues that impact them. It was a funny and entertaining movie. Just go to it aware that there's quite a bit of sociological dialogue. America Ferrera's soliloquy in the middle of the movie was powerful and would have been, IMO, more powerful if it hadn't been surrounded by so many others like it before and after. But the issues are complex and could not possibly be ""covered"" by just one scene, so that's understandable. It feels good to be heard, and there's a lot to hear here but nothing for men to fear. The one thing I did not like was when one male character ""admitted"" that we (men) do a better job hiding the patriarchy in modern times. C'mon. Has there been progress or not? That statement creates distrust and erases good will. There's been progress... yay! We need more progress... okay, let's go!",9 "I generally never watch Hindi movies because most of them could entertain you for only the first time since what those movies lack is ""MEMORABLE MOMENTS"". This is the sole reason that rushes the adrenaline inside you to watch that particular movie again, again and again!! This is the department where all the typical Bollywood movies fall short. And this movie perfectly touches those spots. Acting, direction, screenplay, background score, dialogues everything feels raw and real. 5 hours of runtime would pass like nothing the film's gonna keep you hooked up till the very ""BLOODY"" end. It deserves its spot beside Film's like The Godfather.",10 "Well the title of this film with 'civil war' is a bit over the top, I say this as I am not a massive follower of Marvel having only started watching marvel this year but civil war it isn't it's between a few of the Marvel characters and headed at the realm of each team is Captain America and Iron man. Having said that the film was filled with CGI generated action. The story is one of politics within the Avengers being that the government want them to have them only avenging when they want them too. You know kinda like any government lol. The avengers are split and war breaks out. It's well worth a watch and as marvel films go it's one of the better ones. Acting great, good (kinda how governments interfere) story visually perfect",10 "1 seasob was good, and you shoud stopped then. 3 season is not watchable, same story like with money heist",6 "An amazing sequel, spectacular plot and characters, ultimate film work, this movie is the best. It's very deep while still being able to keep a simple plot. This is the best representation of a comic book in a movie. A must see for anyone and everyone.",10 "I stand corrected. I watched the first two episodes, and found them to be terrible. So I wrote a negative review where I literally trashed the show and gave it a 1 rating (see bottom). Then I noticed people saying that the show really picks up in episode three and four. So I decided to give it one more go and watch one more episode. And people were not lying! If you make it till episode three, you are truly in for a treat! I was glued to the tv and actually kept watching the fourth one as well. Now I'm waiting for the next release. Anyway, I thought it would be only fair to update my review since I misjudged the show, based on the first two episodes. I really see great potential in Wanda Vision and I'm really looking forward to the next episode. This is good sci-fi, no doubt about that. And below the line is my old review. I kept it for comparison. ------------------------------------ This show is boring, cheesy, annoying and plain stupid. It's pure garbage. Perhaps people would have laughed in the fifties, when you had few channels and even less shows to pick from. I prefer using my 4k TV to watch things in high resolution and color. Not black and white, filmed in 4:3 format, making a large portion of my TV black. Plus, the humor changes with time. Disney+, not sure what you are aiming at, but the only place I see your show running in, is in a retirement home. I hope this show gets cancelled soon.",9 From the director of one of the most scientifically accurate movies of decade..here comes a joyride based on biopic of Barry seal .The film is A to z entertainment..Tom cruise as usual flying high with the role of legendary pilot turned drug smuggler cum CIA agent.The movie with it's brisk pace manages to focus most of the details of Seal's life.The cinematography scenarios are a real eye candy for the viewers.The film is not obviously flawless but they can surely be ignored for one time watch,7 "Magic , pure magic is what is making movies about , how to ignore everything else happening out of the screen frame and focusing on every single detail in it . But of course the reality is something else , something darker , much painful and less magical . This was a great movie projecting the idea of the unsolved dilemma between art and science , art and family , what is art and why is it so important?? There's no scientific proof we can just feel it . About the actors : Michelle Williams deserves the oscar this year she did a unforgettable role she was so poetic as a character , and that was obvious cause she played a great scores on the piano , the music was so good And let's not forget Judd Hirsch , I wish he made more appearances during the movie Thanks Spielberg for what you give to the cinema.",9 "I felt the movie moved to fast at key locations and other non key locations sort of drooled on. My biggest complaint of this movie and a host of other new movies is, music is played over top of lines being said by actors. Therefore washing out what the actors actually said. If it wasn't for closed caption one would never really know what was said. It is a shame that music is even in a action movie. Doesn't lend to the artistic capabilities of the movie. I believe this concept was bore from the silent movies and actually was creative. But into days movies it is a distraction and annoyance because the tone or beat is so out of step with what is actually happening.",5 "Whilst not to everyone's taste, this is a really good and interesting film, worthy of anyone trying it out for themselves. The casting of characters and the variety of actors is amazing, all of which did a great job, especially the main three. The side characters are also great from Mike Myers to Chris Rock. The main downside to this film is the pacing and the length. I would be lying if I didn't agree that this film feels long, but I do believe it is worth it. The story is engaging and the acting crew really do make it something above what it might have been. I really don't understand the current 6.3 rating, but I suppose that is part of the death of original cinema. Definitely worth a watch whether it is your cup of tea or not, in the worst case scenario you will be mildly disappointed.",8 "U will enjoy the show if you loved GOT. U will enjoy the show if you loved GOT. U will enjoy the show if you loved GOT. U will enjoy the show if you loved GOT.",7 "The movie had a few moments that were well acted I suppose and as you watched you felt a potential as possibly emerging at any moment. Seemed to be some mumbling going on that became annoying. Didn't seem to be any interactions between characters that was particularly compelling or established a bond with the viewer. The concepts of space were like smoke and mirrors even if you gave them a tremendous amount of slack considering it's only a movie. I was going to attempt to watch it again to see if there was something missed in making the connect on this movie but after reading so many other reviews exclaiming such disappointment, I decided to forgo the extra headache!",1 "This is not a bad movie and it is an entertaining movie. For me, if something is decent and good production value and okay to watch it begins with 5. From there the movie really has to work at it to be worthy of more. This was okay but nothing to write home about. It was an enjoyable watch but I won't be watching it again any time soon. I'll sure watch Dark Knight over the years but this wasn't all that great. If the love for Dark Knight combined with the mourning for Heath Ledger didn't combine to make everyone praise the entire trilogy as one lump sum of genius, then I feel that people would be okay with Batman Begins but wouldn't love it. It would just be seen as fine, decent, moderately entertaining, a far greater depiction than any of the weird stuff that came before it, but ultimately still something to watch after work on TBS (if that channel is still around and then go to bed not particularly better or worse for it. That's about it.",5 I fell asleep during this movie and haven't watched all the way to the end yet because it's so boring,2 "When the first season has garnered rave reviews & has developed a cult following, expectations from the second season of Netflix's hit Show were abnormally high. The Duffer brothers had tough job at hand & had to present a bigger & better second season in order to satiate their show's huge fan base's thirst for quality entertainment. But the Duffer brothers luckily do not disappoint. Netflix has perfected the art of producing quality drama shows & then churn out several seasons of their hit shows. The second season starts off on a high & answers a lot of questions unanswered in the first season. The script is excellent. The show manages to keep you involved & intrigued throughout. Finn Wolfhard (Mike), who probably shot for IT simultaneously, must be given credit for portraying two characters who are polar opposites of each other. Such maturity in acting at such a young age is commendable. Series regulars Winona Ryder(Joyce Byers) & David Harbour (Jim Hopper) continue to perform to our expectations. A few new faces are introduced & we are even told that a much loved character will be a part of the second season as well. The second season delves deeper into Natalie Dyer(Nancy Wheeler)- Charlie Heaton(Jonathan Byers) & Joe Keery(Steve Harrington) as well. The demons are bigger, scarier & more powerful than the first season. The camaraderie between the four friends will make you miss your childhood friends & bring back some pleasant memories from school. Gaten Matarazzo(Dustin) is endearing. Noah Scnapp(Will Byers) who did not have much of a role in the first season has a prominent role in the second season & gives a fine performance. Caleb Mclaughlin(Lucas Sinclair) does a good job of supporting the cast, although he doesn't have much of a role himself. He is probably cast for adding some ""color"" (pun intended) to the show. The makers have even added a dialogue on these lines. On the whole, the second season will remind you why you feel in love with the first season. The Duffer brothers have to be thanked for not letting us down. Netflix has been kind to add a recap before the first episode starts. The last two episodes are out of this world! We are having withdrawal symptoms already & cant wait for the third season!",9 "One of the paramount reasons all Marvel TV shows are not reaching fan expectations has been the enormous success of the irreverent, delightfully deranged ""The Boys"" series on Prime, that has redefined the entire superhero genre for a significant section of OTT audiences. Season 3 rides on the coattails of the fan-favorite characters developed by Seasons 1 & 2 and adds its own sheen by taking the stakes higher, the violence gorier and the tensions between the characters to astronomic levels. We follow the journey of a vigilante team called the Boys, led by the now cult-favorite ""Billy Butcher"" (played with some aplomb by Karl Urban) as they look to keep a check on the morally bankrupt superhero team knows as ""the Seven"", headlined by the megalomaniacal ""Homelander"". Why Anthony Starr's depiction of this character isn't buried with Emmys and Golden Globes is beyond my understanding, such is the tour de force performance he has churned out season after season, not just in building up one of the most hated antagonists in TV history but also by adding layer upon layer of increasing complexity and moral turpitude to the character arc as the audiences progress deeper into the story. While staying within its superhero alternate reality, writers Craig Rosenberg, Anslem Richardson, Geoff Aull and co. Subtly drop in relevant political commentary into their narrative, painting scathing critiques of authoritarianism, the rise of neo-fascism and vilification of mainstream media. ""The Boys"" tells us the story of the other, uglier side of superheroes and enhanced humans and is perhaps the best depiction of the quote ""Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"". Jensen Ackles is the new face in the cast this season, and makes a strong early impression as the legendary ""Soldier Boy"", the superhero that started it all and a clear parody of ""Captain America"". Without the use of high end CGI and special effects that Marvel has access to, creator Erik Kripke has made a strong performance oriented superhero drama series that is disturbing yet diabolically ingenious and one of the most addictive, engaging and binge-worthy series I have seen on TV in recent times. Highly recommended!",9 "a very good film..srk is acting is fabulous and the direction and cinematography is awesome. the action sequences were realistic.the makeup and vfx were good.it had a very good concept and a new story of relation between a star and a fan.do not expect the villainous role of srk to be like that of darr and baazigar, but it is of a different nature. the background score of the movie was amazing the movie had one good thing that is it had no songs and no masala, i ensure that this movie will be a classic movie. go watch this movie if u have someone as ur idol and even for srk's acting.even the other supporting actors have done a great work. this movie has taken bollywood into a new level and it is also a lesson for srk haters that even srk can make good movies after he was panned by critics and fan's for dilwale and happy new year.",10 "Seriously I just forced myself to sit till the end of the movie so that maybe, just maybe something interesting and unpredictable and eye-catching could happen. Waste of time, a total waste 4 stars was given to some computer effects during the movie. God I wish the were a filtering mechanism for these movies to be checked before release.",4 "I love Tarantino, Leo, Brad, Margot and couldn't wait to see Hollywood. The movie is very well made (as always), the soundtrack was average (compared to El Royale), and the casting superb, but....2 hours of mildly engaging filler before an explosive ending Not Tarantino's best, sadly",6 "This movie is long and absolutely does not need to be, not much actually happens. Most of this movie could be cut out, the amount of feet is also weird and makes anybody but Tarantino uncomfortable. It seems like Tarantino made this movie for himself, not for the viewer, he has an obsession with old movies and wanted to make a movie about it and did quite a poor job with it. Directors cut out scenes that make the movie too long, Tarantino is so obsessed with himself at this point in his life he leaves everything in. I wanted to like this movie, I love Tarantino movies, but this one was just long and boring.",2 "Bad cast, bad script, bad adaption, chaotic and boring as a hell. Waste of time, even if you dont know the books or the game. But if you know the books or the games you will rage&quit sometime. Very sad Netflix fail so hard on that one. It can be placed side-by-side to Netflix's Death Note.",3 "Back for round 2 at an attempted review. I admit, the first one got a bit too dark and real for most. That's because they are soft and don't appreciate the sharp sting of a review riddled with hard hitting truths. Or satire. I'm still unsure. The series, Odd'er Stuff, is based on a romanticized version on the 1980s. Just sit back and watch while wonderful warm waves wash over you. Waves filled with nostalgia and select glorified memories that paint an unrealistic picture of a perplexing period plagued with painful social injustice. But I digress. Back to the job at hand. The series, Weirder Objects, attempts to bring you back to a simpler time. A time when you could leave your bike outside your friends house without fear of it being straight jacked. A time when roller skates still ruled the ring and the streets. But, with all things, stranger or not, the shadow of time only grows longer as the sun sets on an era that once encompassed our youthful innocence. Usher in the 90s. A fast paced hard hitting decade that is destined to rule them all. The roller rink is now dominated by the no rules roller blade crowd. Coca Cola is finally on the straight and narrow, you hate to see it but it's probably for the best. Keep an open mind. We have a lot of growing yet to come in the 30 years to follow. Welcome to... Peculiar Items. Roller Sk8ing isn't a crime/10.",7 "An excellent follow up to the original, The Godfather Part II continues where the first film left off and explores the rise of Vito Corleone in a series of flashbacks that, for the most part, correlate with what is presently happening to Michael Corleone (Pacino) his son and successor. This is a beautifully produced piece of film, and while I still prefer the first installment, simply because of the story content, it is every bit as good. This film is best when watched together with the first film – if your body can stand it. Even better, watch the third one as well for a little closure and so you can argue over whether it's a good film or not. (I myself personally like the third film, but not as much as the first two.) --Shelly",8 "Action-packed, great set of new characters, gave an adrenaline rush and explored the depth of Tony Stark's relationship with his dad which was interesting. Lacked comedy compared to the first Iron Man. Boring at some parts, kinda wanted it to end quicker. Watched 31/Dec/19",7 "In my opinion, Godfather II is not better than Godfather I but its just as great. These two movies are the best Crime Dramas Ever Made. The acting is top notch, just like in the first movie. Al Pacino delivers an awesome performance. Talia Shire also delivers a good performance but I wish she was in it a little more. Robert Deniro stole the movie with his performance as the young Vito Corleone. No wonder he won best supporting actor. Diane Keaton's performance is actually better in this movie than the last one. The movie's Directing is actually done better than in Part I. Another brilliant script was in this movie. Has more great lines that many people remember today. The two stories helped this movie I think. Even though the movie was a bit longer than Part I you really dont care when you see how well done the two stories were. I think if there was only one story the movie wouldn't have been as great. The first two Godfathers will always remain the Best Crime Drama Movies around. Thats another promise.",10 "The series since its inception has come a long way. It was a bold attempt to put out something different in the sci fi arena while trying to do it in the 80s time period. While each season has operated on mostly the same premise, the show has done an excellent job of sprinkling in new characters and plot lines to keep it fresh while also remaining true to itself. The casting for the most part has been excellent. I'm not sure all of the new characters were spot on in Season 4 , but they don't damage the end product either. The filming, editing, and music are done with tremendous skill. Each season has had its upsides and downsides (pun intended) but overall the conclusions have all been quite satisfying leaving you wanting more. It does feel like they are ending the show at the proper time. Sometimes some of the best movies and shows have a difficult time closing the story , only time will tell if they can find a respectable way to tie it all together.",9 "The Show is Specially Designed for 90's Kids,it's about relationship,Love, friendship and Student politics. It's a Dark comedy about all the above. And Watch out for the Actor played the Role of Angad Trivedi.If this guy doesn't Succeed in his future than that will be a disaster.And the lady played the role of Sarita , She never looked like an Actor playing a role, She looks like a woman next door.And yes, the whole series is a light Hearted Dark Comedy.",10 "I just want to say what a huge disappointment this is on every level. The acting on the whole was like some b-movie with a script to match. Tom Hiddleston must think because of his success in previous outings for Marvel that his mere presence would make THIS a rip roaring success. Nothing gelled. And just like any media outlet the overall 8.5/10 is a joke and wholly inaccurate. Marvel is in trouble if they continue with this Disney driven drivel. Change the cogs or the universe is doomed, or maybe it's too late.",1 "How on earth did people make it through six or seven episodes? I managed to struggle through the first two episodes, got through episode three only by fast-forwarding a couple times, and gave up after ten minutes of episode four. I'm hesitant to even write a review because the few episodes I watched were so boring that I barely remember what happened. I do remember lots of talk about an heir to the throne, some dodgy CGI dragons that appear too soon and too often, and some bits of violence that felt tacked on and even a bit gratuitous in a failed attempt to liven things up and provide a bit of grittiness. At one point my roommate said that the show felt low-budget and I knew what he meant. Despite the visuals, sets, and costumes the story seems to be limited to a small number of characters and is severely lacking in scope. I'm out.",1 "The Last of Us is fun viewing, but doesn't have the plot twists and shockers that made The Walking Dead, its predecessor, so engaging. Nor does it have the character development. My husband and I predicted every death. The mushroom monsters appeared conveniently in Deus Ex Machina style every time an enemy needed to be vanquished. Lots of the most shocking plot moments from the Walking Dead appear in the Last of Us, but watered down and less terrifying. It has the feel of being on a theme park ride - you move through a landscape and see enemies confined to one episode. Each episode feels like a mini movie, though none would be satisfying as a standalone. The series begun with a huge amount of exposition: a man on a panel explains why fungus is more worrying than viruses and bacteria, and explains the mechanisms behind the cordyceps fungus that controls ants - that comes straight from David Attenborough's commentary. Though it worked to a point, it was a missed opportunity to dripfeed suspense and dread. We could have spent a few episodes wondering what the hell this thing is when told it's not a virus or a bacteria. A lot of the dialogue is expositional throughout, and took us away from feeling immersed. E.g. When Ellie gets in a car for the first time, she is surprised - great - did she need to say ""it feels like being in a spaceship""? This sounds like something someone in a writer's room would say ""imagine, you've never been in a car before, it must feel like being in a spaceship"" but doesn't feel organic coming from the character themselves. There's no fellowship, though there are opportunities for one with Tess and Henry. Allies and enemies come and go. There's no strong sense of why Joel is hellbent on going ahead with his mission. The story is over reliant on flashbacks to tell the story. Our favourite episode was the standalone one with Bill and Frank. Pedro Pascal is a great lead. So too is Bella Ramsey. Overall we enjoyed the scenery but the story was predictable and Hollywood. As such, it might feel shinier and faster paced to some viewers, but it lacks the finesse, stakes and writing that made The Walking Dead so good.",6 "After watching countless films , including all critics Top 100's , and all the five star movies. This is still the one to beat and I just can't find a better film (the first one comes close and It's a wonderful life).I Just keep on looking!!!",10 "This movie was pretty good. Actually really good. A24 makes incredible movies, and I really enjoyed this one going into it with very low expectations. The ghosts / demons were scary, and it was one of those movies where they surprise you with many different plot changes. I mean i was not expecting this movie to be this good. It really wasn't bad at all. The ending was the most shocking and jaw dropping part of the movie (there were MANY moments where I was shocked), and my like for this movie pretty much was just completely changed when all of the parts added up to incredible the ending. This movie is HIGHLY recommended by me.",8 "After watching this movie in early 2021 on DVD, I was puzzled by its very high IMDb rating. With more than half a million ratings, ""La La Land"" had an average of 8.0. I am a long-time fan of musicals of all varieties, so the high rating of this film seems strange. How could so many people think this film is equal to the best musicals of all time? Do they really think it is better than all but a few musicals? Musicals with a dozen or more songs? With hit tunes? With great compositions by famous composers? With singing by the best and most popular singers? With dance numbers and choreography by the greatest hoofers of all time? ""La La Land"" has a total of six songs. The great musicals have 10 to 18 songs. Can anyone name a single hit tune from this movie? Can anyone even remember one of the songs? Did either of the leads record any of the songs -- Ryan Gosling or Emma Stone? Are either of them known for their singing or recording? Does either one have a hit record? Are there any known dancers in this film? I have seen way more than 200 musicals, and most of them were better than ""La La Land."" So, when I watched this film, it struck me that most of the people who rated it just hadn't seen many musicals. Surely none of the great ones of the past. And that would mean that they have little to compare with what little music, singing and dancing there is in this movie. So, perhaps it's a sign of the times. Perhaps there aren't such gifted musicians and singers and dancers that past decades had. Or, it might be an indication of how starved modern audiences are for quality entertainment. But there are a couple other possibilities for why this movie is rated so high. The first is the sentimental romance story. Modern people may be starved for good entertainment in the area of romance and love with the technology overload of the 21st century. And, then there is the ""sale"" of Los Angeles itself - including Hollywood and related sights. The publicity says from the start that this movie is a celebration of L. A. And, it shows a glamorized city, all clean and neat and without blemish. One wonders how many of the ratings for this movie came from the movie capital itself - from the 13 million people of the Los Angeles area, or the 24 million of southern California. It's not hard to imagine that a real propaganda film for the movie capital of the world, got high marks from its own area. And, that some others who thought it a smashing musical are among a population that doesn't know the great musicals of the past and/or that is starved for really great musical talent and entertainment. Adding all of that together is probably the basis for the high rating of this movie. I would wager that after separating out all the ratings of this movie that came from Southern California, the resulting average from the rest of the country - however large or small the number, would not be higher than 7.0, and would probably be closer to 6.5 or lower. There probably are a lot of 10 ratings from the Los Angeles environs, and many 7, 6 and lower ratings from the rest of the country. I'm not trashing the acting of Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone or any of the rest of the cast of this film. They were good to very good. But none of them are accomplished singers or dancers. While a couple of the choreographed larger dance scenes are good, they are more acrobatic with modern dance, than anything like the footwork of the great talents in films of the past. This film has nothing to compare to Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Gene Nelson, Ginger Rogers, Eleanor Powell or dozens more actors who also could sing and dance. With so many reviews already, I'm just weighing in to apprise younger audiences who enjoy musicals of all kinds, about some of the truly great musicals of the past. Here's a short list of films everyone should enjoy. For starters, there are three wonderful films from the 1930s - ""Top Hat"" of 1935, ""Show Boat"" of 1936, and ""The Wizard of Oz"" of 1939. The last one was in color. Color would take over after ""Broadway Melody of 1940"" and following the war years. The 1940s included top hits such as ""Blue Skies"" of 1946 with a dozen Irving Berlin tunes and Fred Astaire's debut of ""Puttin' on the Ritz,"" and ""Easter Parade"" of 1948 with Judy Garland and Astaire. The 1950s were dynamite years for great musicals - ""On Moonlight Bay"" of 1951, ""Singin' in the Rain"" of 1952 with Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds, ""The Glenn Miller Story"" of 1954, ""White Christmas"" of 1954 with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye, and three of the greatest Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals - ""Oklahoma"" of 1955, ""The King and I"" of 1956, and ""South Pacific"" of 1958. The 1960s had such great musicals as ""Westside Story"" of 1961, ""My Fair Lady"" and ""Mary Poppins"" of 1964, ""The Sound of Music"" of 1965, and ""Hello Dolly"" of 1969. And, although the interest in musicals had waned by the 1960s, every decade has had several musical films made - some of them great films. The musical still has a considerable fan base, especially those with great music, dancing, choreography and plots. So, among later smashing musicals are ""Fiddler on the Roof"" 1971, ""Amadeus"" of 1984, ""Newsies"" of 1992, ""Immortal Beloved"" of 1994, ""Chicago"" of 2002, ""Phantom of the Operate"" of 2004, and ""Les Misérables"" of 2012.",5 "Bad movie. While its not new to anybody acquainted to the man's works that tarantino loves to indulge himself in pastiche like cinematography but in most of his other films that comes off as a bleeding through effect of his emotional bond with the films and genres that he is referencing. In this one however, his most pastiched one so far , not only he does what he usually does but he also neglects the value of his source material by making fun of the same kind of films he build his whole career on referencing. For example the infamous Bruce Lee scene. You can say that Bruce Lee was not the nicest or most humble person in the set and that is okay, that is not the point. The point is that, HIS CHARACTERIZATION was humorous. He was written to act as a big mouthed fool and you get the impression that essentially anyone could beat him up if they wanted it, which to me seems uncomfortably odd considering all the nods to Bruce Lee films in Tarantino's filmography such as Beatrix Kiddo's outfit in Kill Bill. Not only that but he dismissively makes fun of western spaghettis. The same man that literally build his career on top of pastiche style remaking each and every style of European exploitation films. The funny thing to me is that he ridicules western spaghetti, he makes fun of kung fu films but what he DOES NOT DO is make fun of american westerns. I also never saw one Tarantino film that was this openly reactionary. The film makes every hippie look like an assassin, it deviates the guilt for the charles mason murders from mason himself to the hippie culture. Also is really weird that he makes the hippies speak in left wing cliche slang when they were following charles mason who literally had a swastika on his forehead. And if that weren't enough the film is also very violent towards women so if a woman is on screen she is either being viciously killed or being sexualized or just being Sharon Tate. I feel bad for the generation that sees Tarantino as one of the biggest names in cinema ( mine).",4 "Barbie turned out to be a bit of a letdown. I had high hopes for the movie, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. The story felt forced, and the narrative lacked a decisive direction. There were moments of humor, but it missed the opportunity to be hilariously entertaining. The film could have been much better if they had taken advantage of the potential for creative and imaginative storytelling that the Barbie franchise offers. Despite the visually appealing scenes, the overall execution left me feeling unsatisfied. I hoped for a more captivating and memorable experience, but unfortunately, it fell short of delivering that. It is good entertainment.",6 "Woo-hoo! Three Marvel movies in one year! Everyone's been celebrating 2017 as perhaps the best year for comic book movies in history, with every single one thus far either meeting or exceeding expectations. I understand the hype, as like the last couple of movies in the MCU, Thor: Ragnarok features lots of good comic timing thanks to director Taika Waititi's (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, What We Do in the Shadows) effort in staging sound to time each gag. The excitement goes nonstop as the hero fights demon after demon against screaming rock music to put the final cherry on the sundae. The continuation of the heroes' journeys will expectedly keep committed fans raising their foam fingers of approval; when we first see Thor, he is chained over lava, face to face with a fiery demon, but without a hint of fear. When he meets his evil sister, she breaks his sacred hammer, and he's later pit into a gladiator arena against a familiar green face, escalating the thrills with each new spectacle. The Incredible Hulk even has his own great moments faithful to when we last saw him, particularly in how he remained green and mean for the past two years. But that doesn't excuse Ragnarok's empty sense of humanity. The lack of consistency essentially starts with Thor's father passively dying, leaving his evil daughter to rule over Asgard, a ""sad"" moment standing as a mere plot motive with no hint of trauma. As for the Hulk, what exactly does he think about forgetting the last two years of his life? Apparently nothing, as all his self-doubt gets insultingly contradicted in his final moments on screen. A couple of other new members join Thor's team, including Valkyrie. Right upon her introduction, she falls off a platform drunk, setting off a damaged amount of sympathy for her shallowness that carries on with every other new character thrown in without consideration. For a majority of the feature, each supporting individual says their exact thoughts in service to exposition, even at the cost of satisfying closure to their stories. While I certainly learned plenty about what these new characters are, I learned little about who they are beyond funny caricatures. These characters needed to be more than comic relief against flashy colors to last longer than a month in audience's memories. The laws of physics and social order make as much sense as the humanity, appearing a little too conscious about who needs to stay alive and who needs to stay beautiful after going through chaos. As a result, too much goes on in the climax to keep everyone active. Marvel's new freak of art does nothing valuable beside combine Greek mythology with visualized techno music, two things that should never go together. As a result, the world looks uglier than ever before, even for a comic book movie, from the stupid historical paintings decorating Asgard's capital building to Hela's overdesigned ""crown"" or whatever you call it. People already care so little about ancient cultures, so once it's time for kids at school to learn about Greek history, they will think about something less valuable instead. Although I most want to talk about the acting, an overstated aspect that the entire Marvel series in actuality does dreadfully. Chris Hemsworth deserves no praise for his awful performance; he just stilts around with a charming smile plastered onto his spray-tanned face as if waiting for an awkward school photo. The film's comedic charisma has no thanks to give to him, an actor praised only because he's handsome without being annoying. But Jeff Goldblum was the absolute worst casting decision; his instantly forgettable role simply felt awkward to watch, as he created the most painful attempts at humor. I can't remember a time he has ever put on a good performance, and I wonder how he's still getting cast in big movies today. The nitpicks go on much further than you may assume: Teenage boys might complain about the fake looking graphics fit for the X-Box. Long time Marvel fans might complain about Doctor Strange's underuse in an easily rewritable four-minute scene. The more artsy viewers might complain about Hulk's dumb looking gladiator armor. The older viewers might complain about some of the seemingly never- ending jokes. Women might complain about how Hela insults middle-aged women everywhere who want representation beyond roadblocks to men's triumphs. And parents might complain about the bad role model Thor sets for younger boys. Thor's first scene alone features him playing with his hammer in its 3D glory as he beats up demons Halo style. Then for the rest of the film he joyfully beats up his siblings, celebrating his rewards afterward. So why let boys look up to some self-righteous white dude with flowing blonde hair who brags about the hardness of his hammer? If anything, Thor will raise a generation of pompous blonde-haired men who think only about claiming the throne.",2 The original film may be regarded as one of the greatest movies of all time but this is a solid runner up and is definitely one of the best sequels of all time.,10 "The first season's purpose is to rip the future of the MCU and the Marvel franchise wide open, and it certainly succeeds. Any obsessive can probably half-guess the overall conclusions coming from the series but really the content is so massive it is difficult to completely get your head around it. Everything will tie in together over coming installments in the MCU, but this series works alone too. Whilst evidently there is a whole heap of backstory relevant to the series, it isn't relied upon heavily and someone coming in without watching previous films can pick up the basic premise. The titular character is centre stage, and as half the timeline is disregarded, understanding his characteristics and motives is sufficient. The first few episodes do take a while to warm up. There is clearly a lot to set up and an entirely new setting to explain. The issue with the complete overhaul is that is does lessen all of the impact of previous installments in the MCU story. With the storyline adopted, it very much gives the impression that actions don't have consequences, all the emotional climactic endings before are irrelevant, things don't have much meaning so forget what's come before. Good for the future, a bit of a jab at the past. The latter half of the series is definitely where everything picks up. Visually it is hugely impressive, with the settings being the most other-worldly they have been in Marvel, even surpassing Guardians of the Galaxy. The soundtrack is fitting, the humour is kept consistent and fitting, and the acting cannot really be faulted. Being a new storyline not lifted from comics, the audience is kept engrossed in each passing scene as everything unravels towards the end. A great series and an even better vehicle for the future of the MCU.",8 "One of Shah rukh's best films of the year may be for this past decade of his films in my perspective. This reflects the real hindi film fan fare mind set with a much more stronger and a great visionary style and substance through entering a mind of an ordinary man but a film fanatic of Aaryan Khanna (Shah Rukh Khan) and he himself calls him Aaryan Jr. is Gaurav played by Shah Rukh himself. This film have no villains and there are no good guys. And that's why this makes an amazing movie with a human element both fighting for there personal persona and identity. Amazing film with great art and substance + this is in a decade Shah Rukh playing a dual role since Don (2006). Overall - 4/5",8 "For all those concerned that Denis Villeneuve, director of art-house pieces Polytechnique (2009) and the Oscar-nominated Incendies (2010), has sold out on his trip to the U.S., then rest assured, Prisoners is a suitably grim, adult and metaphor-laden drama which just happens to be anchored by two Hollywood A-or-there-about-listers. Beginning with an almost unbearably tense opening hour or so, Prisoners soon dissolves into a formulaic thriller, abandoning the near-unbearable tension of the opening hour and packing the film with foot-chases and repetitive torture-porn, finding itself too caught up in tying all the many loose ends together for it all to make sense. Whilst attending a Thanksgiving dinner, the daughters of Keller (Hugh Jackman) and Grace Dover (Mario Bello), and their neighbours Franklin (Terrence Howard) and Nancy Birch (Viola Davis), go missing. The only clue is a mysterious RV parked outside moments before the abduction, which is quickly found by Detecive Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) in a car park with an apparently stricken Alex Jones (Paul Dano) inside. After Alex is quickly released due to a lack of evidence, Keller is furious and unconvinced, abducting him and taking him to an abandoned former home in order to instigate his own method of interrogation. Boasting Oscar-nominated cinematography by long-time Coen Brothers collaborator Roger Deakins, this is one of the finest looking mainstream thrillers in years. Drenched in grey, the miserable colour palette drapes the film in a feeling of foreboding dread. It brings to mind the beautiful and superior thriller Zodiac (2007), only without the period setting. It drags - and it does drag - on for 2 and a half hours, and the film is so lacking in humour that any realism the film was striving for suffers. It also stars Hugh Jackman, possibly the most effortlessly likable actor working today, and watching him bang on the wall shouting ""where is my daughter!?"" - a line that should have been retired after Taken (2008) - is silly and unconvincing. The film takes itself so seriously that it almost becomes a parody of itself. Gyllenhaal as Loki, however, is outstanding, and is a character I wish the film focused more on. With neck tattoos, a strange, buttoned-up (with no tie) appearance, slick-back hair, and blinking tic, it hints at a more interesting character than the film fully allows to develop. The film is more interested in not-so-subtle War on Terror parallels and comments on post-9/11 vigilantism, that sadly struggles to keep a hold of it's ever-widening plot and multiple plot strands, over-reaching itself constantly with scenes of stoic uber-seriousness. But it's splendidly filmed, and beautifully performed by Gyllenhaal, Dano and Melissa Leo (playing Alex's mother), which could have done with some heavier editing and less self-importance. www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com",6 "This film has various elements that are good about it. However ,although the acting and directing is no short than excellent, this is one of the most dull and unimaginative film i have ever seen. Comedy? You must be joking. I didn't laugh once. Although Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson have obviously tried their best, it is clear they do not have much to work with and the result is a confusing film, that lamely attempts to get the laughs, but flops dramatically. I did not find this entertaining whatsoever and could have spent the time watching a decent film, like Donnie Brasco, an underrated classic.",4 "For me ""Devs"" starts a bit slow, and throughout, the pace is mostly a plod along through the storyline, it has its moments where it provokes the thought processes, especially when you are left thinking, what just happened I don't suppose it's a totally original story, but it is unique enough to be different. Some may see it as marmite, either it will be loved , or it will be hated, my feeling is that you give it a few episodes before deciding whether to give up or continue. I think I will watch the whole thing over again, at some point , as I'm sure there are things I will interpret different, which may add or detract from the experience.",7 "After two episodes, I gave up watching this one. It's a decent tv series that fails miserably reaching to the level of GoT. The thing that bothers me most is the reliance only on a single storyline. For instance, we already have a possibly interesting character called ""crabfeeder"" but there hasn't been told anything about him. GoT has multiple interesting storylines in the same episode that sometimes converge and diverge into other stories. If you want to relive the epicness of GoT, then watch it again. This one is like a food similar to your favorite from outside but it tastes foul after one bite.",5 "For me just boring movie, not my type of super hero movie, came short for me",4 "Swades - we the people says it all. It is probably one of the most sincere and un cynical movies of recent times, and same holds true with Shah rukh, who delivers an endearing and perhaps his most subdued, underplayed yet a bravura performance. It starts with the NAsa engineer, who gets the longing to go back to India to meet his Nanny, and feels guilty that he had never got a chance to repay the love and warmth he received from her when he was a child. Come India, he comes to the ground realities of India, the village, even though the country has come of age is 'shining' not much has changed in the heartlands or the villages where you see illiteracy,strange dogmas, inequalities, chauvinism etc. Shah rukh sees it as a call to put his education and knowledge to use, and he knows his home needs him more than anywhere else. the movie is simple, straight and sincere, runs on the lines of a documentary. Sure it is not glamorized but it delivers, excellent story telling skills. It is bound to touch your heart, and definitely relate able for the NRI's who think about going to India. The icing on the cake is not only the wonderful performances by the support cast, but the natural and non preachy characterizations of the entire cast. Shah rukh is likable, even with his usual and lovable antics, he is more serious, and clearly dominates the proceedings. Rahman's music is a big plus, with Yunhi Chala and Yeh Jo Des hai being the pick. Rahman has a panache for delivering great music for topical movies. A movie with substance.",9 "This is about a Sify apocalyptic movie and a litle horror, as always the people act like a dumb in horror movies and the principal only survives because the writer wants. the movie is a trash many errors don't tell about getting food about possible diseases time pass like nothing could happen nothing similar to real life, they could explore much more about surviving ability in apocalyptic events. Another error get blind and do all those thinks is surreal very difficult for a non blind person. Going down the river is not a difficult mission as the movie says for me the most difficult is get good food and don't die with a disease in so many years.",5 "Tom Cruise never ceases to amaze us with his near to real stunt sequences even in his old age. Although it had some great sequences, soemhow the movie didn't kept me engaged, maybe because there were very few twists & turns and the storyline/screenplay was also not very engaging. It is just cruise all over and nobody else that we remember after the movie's over.",6 "You have an estimated $150 million at you disposal. You have effects teams, writers, good actors, 3D, and basically the entire Norse mythology to explore and use. And this movie is all you can do? I expected a lot of this movie. There are a lot of nice stories and effects to be made exploring Thor, the god of thunder. This movie basically doesn't. If you read the studio's description of what the movie is about, you can almost figure out the entire main story line beforehand - it really is that unimaginative. The 3D use is on the level of ""oh, look, that postbox is closer to me than the supporting cast in the background, but everything else is flat"", which really isn't impressive - or even worth the money to see the movie at a 3D cinema. Even the computer animated stuff looks flat - like it was projected on a surface at a particular depth. There's a reason this movie premiered in Australia, Sweden and a select other European countries before the US - the studio hopes to at least be able to call it a ""success in Europe"" or post some favorable review from one of the perhaps more easily impressed countries. If you have nothing else to do, this might be a DVD to buy in a year, but unless you are easily impressed by anything that says ""3D"", or have a serious crush on Natalie Portman or Anthony Hopkins, see something else.",2 "Well I have always enjoyed the Marvel movies, until now. This movie is dull. The effects are pretty good, but that's what the 3 stars are for.",3 "They just knos that we will pay to watch because Chris Hemsworth is the hero. Very poor plot, they just put an Asian cover add new look. Same old story, emotionally involvement which probably used in hundredsof time in other movies. Also a complete misrepresentation of Bangladesh. For God's sake I am not sure now that the well poor/corrupted/dangerous countries are really that bad or just Hollywood makes us thinks like that!!!!",3 "This show is so highly regarded and so highly spoken of by a lot of people, and I feel like it's an overreaction. Now, don't get me wrong, this show is entertaining to watch; I feel like every little detail is highly praised by a lot of people. From what I've seen, people make this show out to be much better than it is. Every little detail is brought up as another reason why this show is the best show they've ever watched. It's odd and, well, very ridiculous. I think that it has to do with the themes in the show, including the way things are written to mirror the real world, as well as more minor details that get people all excited, for some reason, using them as a way to express how great this show is. It doesn't make sense to me. Another thing that I think is one of the reasons that people think makes this show the greatest show they've ever watched is that this show reinvents the superhero genre or something to do with the superhero genre, and I don't understand that. To me, these reasons seem very shallow. None of those things should matter. None of those things should play a factor in whether or not you enjoy an episode of a show or the show itself; whether or not you think an episode of a show or the show itself is great; the level at which you enjoy an episode of a show or the show itself or think it's great. None of it should matter so much to where you'll not like an episode of a show or the show itself as much as you would've if things like that were present, to where it has such an impact on how you react and feel, and your outlook. When I see people reacting so strongly, positively or negatively, about stuff like that, I think it's ridiculous that they seemingly matter so much to them. Because, for me, it's only a matter of whether I enjoy what I watch. Speaking of which, another one of those reasons that I've seen people provide as to why they love the show so much is that it's way better than the comic book series was; that they liked various aspects that the show did or made a lot better than the comics did. I can understand that reason, but that still shouldn't elevate the show higher than it is. And I think it does for a lot of people, as does the themes in the show, the way the writers write some things to mirror the real world and on-going situations, the way that this show reinvents the superhero genre or whatever that assertion is all about. I don't understand that way of thinking. Personally, I enjoy watching this show. There are instances where the writing is lazy, convenient, or contrived; instances of inconsistency. And there are plenty of moments that come across as ridiculous but may not completely fit within any of those categories. But I never had that big of a problem with them. There were only a few that I caught, and they didn't bother me; hell, the ones that I caught may have explanations that make enough sense and aren't too convenient. There were more instances like that of which were revealed to me through other means, but they still didn't bother me that much. The only thing that's an issue with this show for me is that the main plot and subplots aren't written in a captivating way, most of the time. I'm still entertained enough while watching episodes that feel that way, but it's something that I wish wasn't the case so I can be as entertained as possible. Other than that, I have always been entertained by this show. I don't think that aspect will change, thankfully. It's the entertainment value that matters the most to me. And while I don't understand the high praise or reactions to practically every little detail in the show, it's not my problem. This show has always been entertaining to watch, and that's good enough for me.",7 "This movie is a piece of crap, just like every other marvel movie of 2017-2018. The storyline is bad, the acting sucks, the jokes are stupid. Thanos is the worst villian ever; his acting and personality in the film is pathetic. This movie is a waste, not a classic.",3 "The film is set in the cold landscape of Minnesota and follows the story of Jerry Lundegaard (played by William H. Macy), a car salesman who hires two criminals (played by Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife and demand ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. However, things quickly spiral out of control, leading to a series of darkly comedic and violent events. One of the standout aspects of ""Fargo"" is its brilliant writing and storytelling. The Coen brothers masterfully blend elements of crime, dark humor, and drama, creating a unique and engaging narrative. The dialogue is sharp, witty, and filled with memorable quotes that have become iconic in popular culture. Frances McDormand delivers an outstanding performance as Marge Gunderson, a pregnant police chief investigating the bizarre and violent crimes. Her portrayal of a tenacious, down-to-earth, and deeply empathetic character earned her an Academy Award and remains one of her most celebrated roles. The film's cinematography and direction also contribute to its overall brilliance. The Coen brothers expertly capture the bleakness of the Minnesota landscape, using it to enhance the film's atmosphere and mood. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build gradually and culminate in a gripping climax.",8 The writing and performance is unique and is a great crime/ investigation show. By far Benedict is the best Sherlock.,9 Seemed like d whole series was made to feed der socio political ideologies forcefully. It shud be subtle. Bucky barnes is wasted. Sebastian did his best but his character was written poorly. Falcon shined in d show. D nly gud thing was baron zemo's dance. Comic book fans wont luv it.,2 "It is not terrible but I think it can go even further. Too confusing, not funny, Captain America's reason is childish, and I think it is just a showcase of special moves.",6 "Don't believe all the hate written here by teenage movie critics. It's true, this isn't the boys and isn't as good as the boys. It's a spin-off series delivered in the same universe in a college setting with students, teachers and evil corporation. Series stays true to their satirical humor, gore, explicit scenes and language and everything else you came to love in the boys series. It's a good cast of young actors that i feel perfectly fit their roles in the series and can make a name for themselves in their future career. While I agree that main actress seems a little stiff, she still got plenty of time to shower us how she comes out of her shell and delivers worthy performance of a lead role. Btw Critter is currently my favorite. :)",8 "It's easy to see why Tarantino's film has been such a hit with film critics and film buffs. It's an ode to the movies. It weaves a story around showbiz icons and showbiz trivia. It is crammed with cute cameos. And it revolves around masterly performances by a couple of genuine screen legends. There's also something undeniably mesmerising about the era and the events around the Manson murders in LA. And the film positively oozes with Tarantino's enthusiasm for vintage 1960s Hollywood, and for all manner of sub-genres, from westerns to cheesy television to martial arts. But can we at least acknowledge that, for all the intoxicating nostalgia and quirky revisionist history, Tarantino doesn't really deliver much in the way of narrative drive. The film ambles along like a cowboy with three-day blisters. It shifts between scenarios that are almost devoid of dramatic tension (Sharon goes to the movies; Cliff fixes an antenna). And if it wasn't for Charles Manson and his crazies hovering over the proceedings there would be precious little in the way of suspense or dramatic tension through much of the movie. To that extent, Once Upon A Time is often a bit like a trip to a museum. It's often diverting. Occasionally fascinating. And you glimpse various different stories along the way. But it falls some way short of being a gripping, wholly engaging ride.",6 "Who was the one who greenlit this script, and how did it get 8/10? It can only be an enormous number of 13 year old goth girls. Bad writing, bad casting, cringe, and anything but funny, unless you laugh at the writers, the producers, and the cast, especially the male cast. This has nothing to do with the Adams family. Pugsle is portrayed as a little crybaby. Gomey is a creepy, overweight, and a very unappealing man. They even felt the need to give him very bad teeth with black in-between. Cathrine Zeta-Jones is too old for the role and a horrible choice for Morticia, and there is no chemistry between her and Gomez. I like both Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán, but I was very disappointed by their performance and even more by the fact that they both accepted the roles. Wednesday is the worst, completely unlikeable, but guys still faun over her, despite the fact she treats everybody like garbage and only uses people in an all stick no carrot way. Only a sadomasochist would keep liking that girl after all that abuse, even if they had thair enormous mother issues. What i really don't get is the fact that nobody is offended by the horrible way every male character is portrayed. They are all either incompetent, weak, creepy, douchbags, or a psycho. Not one of them shows an ounce of self-respect or any guts, especially the writes and 2/3 of the directors.",1 "Not sure why people think this is entertaining or exciting or interesting or visual cinematic masterpiece? feels like a college film that has no direction and no money, just New York City as a location. New York City looks cool but that's not a byproduct of the art department or Scorsese or the DP. I think the movies also about an hour too long. Doesn't hold your attention, the pacing is too slow, you may fall asleep. Doesn't I have a purpose, no social redeeming value, nothing to think about after.",2 "It's safe to say I went into barbie with pretty low expectations and honestly went into it with pretty low expectations because hey, it's the barbie movie. And while it may not have been the best movie released on the 21st of July 2023 it certainly blew my expectations away. It was super unique and honestly one of the funniest movies I'd seen in a while. Like it did a phenomenal job of balancing its comedic element and its storytelling elements and together we're able to give out a really powerful message for men and women of all ages. And like all of the songs in this movie were unironically really good. And ryan gosling was shirtless for most of the movie. 9.4/10.",9 Watched the first series and it was like too little butter over too much bread. Unless you're 5 years old the lack of a coherent storyline will drive you mental. The entire second series could have been done in one episode. Acting is fine. Effects are fine. Just the complete lack of any flow or structure to it. Dreadful. I'm a Sci-fi nutter and will watch two flies in space suits climbing up a wall. But this...? Forget it. Skip it unless you have small children who like loud dramatic music and shiny things,2 "Where could I even dream to begin on this one? An animated Spiderman film that sits at time of writing as the 41st highest rated movie on IMDB and won an Oscar? Who'd have thought such a thing was possible? So the movie has been hyped left, right, center and diagonally, I've literally not heard one single bad thing about it but the facts mentioned above left me stunned! What could this possibly be to be heralded in such a way? Telling the story of a young man who is also bitten by a radioactive spider and develops superpowers. Kingpins latest dastardly scheme is tearing the fabrics of reality apart and alternate universe versions of Spiderman have all ended up in the same universe. I'm sure you can work out what happens next. So the animation style is a tweak on Pixar, it plays out like a comic book and call me weird but that certainly didn't work for me. The animation doesn't flow fluidly, it looks hokey, disjointed and I found myself frustrated by it. The plot is a novel concept and I liked it, the delivery however I did not. Certain aspects make very little sense, sure it's a Spiderman film so I'm not supposed to think about it too much but I did and my conclusions were migraine inducing stupidity. Did I say stupidity? Oh the stupid doesn't end there sadly, I get the multiverse concept of anything is possible but their Spiderman variant choices were bafflingly dumb and what you'd expect from a Saturday morning cartoon not a blockbuster film! It tries to be heartfelt, but comes across half-assed. It tries to be funny, but comes across childish. It tries to be action packed but the style of animation didn't allow it to be done justice. Okay I'm slating the film right now so it probably sounds like I hated it, which I didn't. 6/10 is a fair rating and suggests its above average and it is. But I'm annoyed at the acclaim that's it's been bathed in. 8.6 rating on IMDB are you kidding me? And the Oscars have lacked credibility in my eyes for years because of their ridiculous bias and genre-snubbing but this right here is the last bit of credibility up in smoke. I'm not saying a superhero movie shouldn't be Oscar worthy, but this silly cartoon simply isn't (And neither is Black Panther but I'll resist the urge to rant). Into the Spider-Verse to me is no different than all the straight to DVD Marvel and DC efforts we see a couple of each year. The only difference here is the animation style, nothing else sets it apart. I just don't get the appeal. The Good: Some great writing Great idea The Bad: Animation hardly flows Unexpectedly silly Plot holes that are unforgivably stupid",6 "Best thing I've seen in a long time. Superb acting across the board, brilliant writing. This is an excellent series. Definitely intended for mature audiences, but this sets the standard for a super hero series.",9 "Well this movie just starts out strong it pulls you in and you will enjoy the ride. Robert Downey Jr. is phenomenal this guy is right for the part. This movie will make you laugh and you will get to see some cool explosions. But then the movie slows down in the middle almost to a stop. It almost makes you mad because you were loving this movie then all a sudden it comes to this screeching halt. The movie will pick up towards the end but if you're like me and like the main hero take on the main villain fights that they have in every other superhero movie then the end fight will make you just be annoyed with this film and leave you with this ""wow that was lame"" feeling. If you like movies with fights and explosions then sure see it. If you are a comic nerd then at all cost avoid this movie.",6 "It definitely made our Josh High , amazing movie , each and every character did justice to their role ,kudos to whole team",10 "I loved this show, a great dystopian view on how the world will almost certainly become! Was really looking forward to it but series 5 is just nothing at all - I've stopped watching after E02 and won't go back. Maybe Charlie Brooker is planning something genius which exposes our IMDB review culture but I'm afraid I have to agree with all the other S5 reviews I've read. Very disappointing. Ring Pilkington if you're short of ideas!",5 "Talk to Me is a horror film that really earns that title because it is truly disturbing and uncomfortable viewing in the most effective ways. A terrifying film that pulls no punches and uses its gore to horrifying effect. It feels like the millionth horror about grief and trauma but it's also a really good exploration of the lack of real connection in the social media age. Sophie Wilde is incredible, its a performance that requires so much emotionally and she performs every moment in a way that feels so genuine. On the opposite side, she's also excellent at conveying the addictive yet uncomfortable out of body experience of being possessed. Each one feels completely different. From the brutal opening sequence Danny and Michael Philippou prove themselves to be naturals at building suspense and creating violent imagery designed to linger long after the credits. Any uncomfortable self inflicted injury is made worse by Emma Bortignon's sound design, just as painful to hear as it is to watch.",8 "Its ok... predictable in parts, fairly cringy in others. Had higher hopes in the first episode and kinda went downhill from there for me, only kept watching cuz I had already started. If they make another season, probably won't watch.",4 "This movie is so much fun and wonderfully told. The way Anuraj has meshed all the stories together is fantastic! (Almost Guy Ricthie like! lol) Its a must watch when compared to the garbage that is coming out of Bollywood lately. This movie deserves a big screen release! Good job and please watch this one!",10 "I expected a lot from this movie after seeing the reviews, however after 5 minutes I realised I would be disappointed. Wooden acting, modern warships, aimless script, obvious use of models, the list goes on. This really is very poorly made given the technology available nowadays, especially to anyone that has any knowledge of the war (or even of movie-making) I am amazed that it has such a high rating.",3 Just finished watching Wonder Woman the movie and all i can say is this...Lynda Carter's legacy as the personification of Wonder Woman is still intact and is in no danger whatsoever...this had so much potential but instead was flushed down the toilet...it's hard to believe they couldn't have come up with a better story than this..if you want to see Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor working together done the right way watch the episode of The Justice League cartoon called The Savage Time...which is what this movie should've been..,4 "...I came into the film expecting to understand why Adam Sandler felt the movie was disrespected during awards season. All I can say is that, for such a frenetic movie, it was surprisingly dull. It was just the story of one man being an aggravating idiot for 2+hours. I'm not even sure how to review the plot except to say that ""frenetic"" doesn't always mean ""interesting."" That said, Sandler pulled off the role very well. Being an aggravating idiot was exactly what he was going for, and, no snark, he hit it out of the park. Pity the movie itself became a slog within 45 minutes, wasting his undeniably-on point performance. Oh, and John Amos' talents were completely wasted. The man, as Howard said, is a legend. He needed real screen time.",5 "Title: Just..FANTASTIC!! I just saw this movie because I'm a huge comic-book fan of super-heroes. And I had seen that a local newspaper had given this a great rating so I thought of giving it a try. And man, this was MUCH better than I thought it would be! Everything and I mean everything about the movie is great…story, acting, dialogs, fight-sequences, action, direction. This movie is full of class. I can happily say that this is WAY better than ALL the Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Ironman and Hulk movies that I've ever seen! Yes sir! The credit for this movie should go to the story-writers and the directors. They've done a marvelous job. Chris Evans has done a brilliant portrayal of Captain America..he was like tailor-made for this role. All the other main and supporting cast have done terrific job. Robert Redford was outstanding in his not-that- big but crucial role. I have never seen any movies of his before but now I can see the reason why he's so popular! The only acting that I wasn't satisfied with , was Sebastian Stan who plays Winter Soldier in the movie. Though he character didn't have much to speak, but still somehow I felt his acting as hollow…he could done more justice to his role. The friendship between Captain America Aand Falcon was very nicely shown. The way they get to know each other and soon become allies in battle, was shown very effectively and convincing way. The stunts were amazing in the movie. We see Captain America do a variety of different moves/attacks with his shield, which is just a treat to watch! The major plot of the theme , that is, about the Winter Soldier is taken from one of the story lines in the Captain America Comics , written by Ed Brubaker. For those who don't know, Ed Brubaker is arguably THE best writer r Captain America comics! In fact, he's the reason I started reading Captain America….Never used to bother about it before. Now some minor complaints about the movie: 1) The title ""Winter Soldier"" doesn't make much sense because his role is quite less and his role is actually not THAT important in the movie. 2) For those into comics, they will understand when I say that this movie (and other recent MARVEL movies) are based on the ""Ultimate"" Universe, not the usual (or whatever you call it) Marvel universe. I would have preferred it the other way, since that is the original. The ""Ultimate"" universe came much after the ""regular"" universe. 3) Most of the times Captain America is without the mask. Maybe no big deal, but I generally like it when the Super heroes keep their masks on most of the time. That's how it was/is in comics. But in Marvel movies, the super-hero takes a back seat to the alter ego/ man behind the mask. e.g. ""Spiderman"" movie was more about Peter Parker than Spiderman and ""Iron Man"" movies are ALL about Tony Stark..Iron Man is like a guest appearance there. In the end, I would say that this is definitely one of THE best super- hero movie of all times. When I used to read comics, Captain America was never one of my favorite heroes..but now he is!",9 "First episode was amazing Oscar was the perfect casting role for moon knight,probably the beat first episode for a Disney plus show or for a marvel show.",8 "The series was always going to have good and bad episodes but I didn't expect some to be so good and some to be so bad. Episodes like the Thor and Kilmonger episodes weren't at all what I wanted but in contrast with the final two, zombies and Doctor strange those four episodes are amazing. Continuity issues were caused by this series being in development in 2018 not lazy writing so I can forgive that but cliffhangers that aren't resolved shouldn't have happened. Characters like Peggy Carter, T'Challa Star Lord and Doctor Strange were somewhat different to there live action counterparts but managed to keep what made them such good characters. Overall not the worst MCU show but far from the best.",6 "So here's a film with Michael Bay action, which is so bland these days, means nothing. Other than that you get some funny quips from the expected actor (Ryan Reynolds) and pretty much nothing else exciting except the settings which are quite exceptional (oh and some gore if you think that's exciting and new).The film is comprised of just jumping from cut to cut so quickly it seriously hurt my ability to appreciate anything in the film. Even if you have Netflix currently I'd recommend watching something else.",3 "I knew this was going to fail 2 years ago. I was going wait for the dvd like I do to all films that look like grabage but due to circumstances I saw it in theaters and it wasn't BAD. And it wasn't near good. Its just an okay bad movie that doesn't need to be seen again. The main problem is the pacing. The pacing was too fast. There is no build up, some scenes just happen for the sake of happening and lack of better character development. The acting was fine. Like most films they always have that annoying lead female character. This film is no different. The Lead Female has a couple moments where you want her to just die. CGI was meh. Overall the only good thing about the movie is the mid credit scene.",3 "I liked acting, songs, direction and flow of story. The movie was very good and other comments already tell that. But it was so good because of some very good acting by Hrithik(also Rai). I am really impressed by his acting in this movie. This tells me how versatile he is. But I was wondering how good can he be in a very violent role(unlike Akbar) like that of Asoka. Hrithik, when you are loved so much in Bollywood, then why do you want to go to Hollywood? There is nothing there. Please reject Hollywood completely and maintain your dignity and also the dignity of people who admire you. May you live long, Hrithik.",8 "You're 12, your parents aren't in sight, you whisper to your friend, ""hehe s***t head teehehe"" your friend ""teehehe""s back and double flips you off. The two of you giggle to each other in immature bliss. This movie feels like that 12 year old directed this movie. It was such a disappointment. I was so looking forward to it after really enjoying the first movie. The humor was so awkward, complete opposite of the first movie. The storyline could have been really fun and interesting, it had a lot of potentially cool concepts but the writing was just so juvenile it left me feeling embarrassed I watched it.",3 "Movie felt rushed, barely any storytelling, mostly action and they in order to catch viewers up on the storyline they result in longwinded character explanations. Also does everyone need to be in love in this movie? They stuff 5 love stories in one film for what reason? We are supposed to believe there is chemistry between the characters and yet I felt nothing because these romantic relationships were never allowed to develop on screen. You just watch dumbly as two characters pretending to be madly in love fighting for each other. Incredibly dull and insulting to the audience.",1 "I saw this movie expecting a bit of fun with perhaps some moral messages and a few jokes thrown in for the grown-ups. Perhaps pitched slightly older than the pixar films. What I got was a movie that had me laughing in some spots while other spots had me thinking, ""what on earth am I watching."" I know Barbie better than you're average middle age guy since I've been buying special edition Barbie dolls for years for my (now adult) daughter who collects them. The movie did a great job of showing some of the classic outfits and play sets that would have been recognised by the fans so the nostalgia fuel was definitely there. Cameos from unexpected stars were also a treat. There were some legitimately hilarious moments. Such as the quip about N Sync which gave me a smile - given Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake's shared history (they both starred in the Mickey Mouse club show - plus the long running rumours about Gosling almost becoming a member of rival band Backstreet Boys). A huge laugh in the cinema came from Narrator Helen Mirren's quip about casting. The casting itself was great, especially Robbie and Gosling who were both superb in their respective roles. Other than the humourous moments, there were also moments that were uncomfortable or downright depressing. It's not uncommon to have moments like that in comedy movies or kids movies. In this movie though, they out-weighed the lighter moments. The marketing certainly didn't lead me to expect a movie that would leave me feeling depressed afterward. Despite being based on one of the most popular toys of all time, it's definitely not a movie that was made for kids. There has always been controversy around Barbie's awkward relationship with feminism. The movie attempted to address equality by showing a Barbieland where females dominated and males like Ken were treated unfairly. Then contrasting that with the real world where men dominate and women are treated unfairly. It's a legitimate message and I expected it to build up to a conclusion showing that neither should be the case and everyone should be equal. They attempted that, but pretty much glossed over it before rushing on to the ending which was one of the film's biggest ??? Moments. The speeches about patriarchy were valid but were also dragged out repeatedly over the last half of the film in such a heavy handed manner that many would have tuned out from that message. Meanwhile, any attempt at promoting equality was undermined by every single man I remember in the film being portrayed as adorably failing at being macho, or completely stupid. In most cases both. Of course the barbies were barbies but the real world women were portrayed as being regular, intelligent women. Not cartoonish buffoons like all the men were. On balance, I can now understand all the comparisons between this movie an Oppenheimer. The difference is that your average viewer would watch Oppenheimer expecting a lot of it to feel oppressive and depressing.",5 This movie triggered my emotions and feelings 😇now I love every animal it brings compassion on my heart 💜 must watch this movie everyone 🙏😇😊 If ur dog lover definitely u will love this more than me I'm not dog lover but after watching this movie I'm in love with everyone animal.,10 "We have seen lot of movies based on pets. But living that entire journey is for the first time. We had always seen the bonding, their loyalty, how they make human happy, how they always stand with the humans, but we had never seen the pain, the sorrow, the emotions, the struggle they faced in their life. Just think what kind of life they live, how tough it is. But this movie 777 Charlie showed us that how is the life difficult, as human beings we also have some certain responsibilities towards nature and these lovely animals. We always had seen fulfiling last wish of our close ones (humans), but understanding their feelings and fulfilling it have a different feeling. Not only dogs, if we human beings treat and take care of the animals also automatically the path to heaven open. I must bet for another 100 years the world is not gonna experience this type of movie. This movie deserves to get OSCAR.

What sets Interstellar apart is its commitment to scientific accuracy and exploration of theoretical physics. The visuals are nothing short of spectacular, from the majestic wormhole to the time dilation effects near massive celestial bodies. Hans Zimmer's haunting score enhances the overall experience, creating an immersive atmosphere that complements the film's grandeur. Nolan's penchant for intricate storytelling is evident, and while the plot may require viewers to engage their intellect, the payoff is immensely satisfying. Themes of love, sacrifice, and the indomitable human spirit resonate throughout, making Interstellar a poignant and thought-provoking cinematic experience. In a landscape saturated with formulaic blockbusters, Interstellar stands out as a testament to the power of ambitious storytelling and visual splendor. It's a film that encourages viewers to ponder the mysteries of the universe while leaving them with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the human capacity to explore the unknown. Interstellar is not just a movie; it's an odyssey that lingers in the mind, inviting contemplation and conversation long after the credits roll.""",6 "Complete chaos, hard to catch what's going on, poor acting. Very obscure plots, monologues do not know who to understand. Although i like fiction, here it is weird. Watching is only possible due to the good work of the operator.",2 "So this movie seems like it's taken little ideas from other movies and squished them together to try and somehow come up with gold. It does not work. This movie uses ""The Descent"", ""Cliffhanger"", ""Frozen"" (No not the disney one) and even to some degree""Jaws"" type movies. The problem I had was it made no sense. Certain aspects really let it down. It was too predictable in too many places and then just insulting in others. The acting was below average and there was no constant in the movie to make me actually care what was going on. I didn't watch this movie bacause I expected it to be good. I knew it wasn't going to be great but I'm always willing to o try minimal cast movies with few locations. Dismissed.",2 "Final rating: 8/10 - Great, not amazing. Today's date: March 5th, 2020. Anime-watcher. Have not read manga. 27M, Sweden. I was pleased with how this episode turned out. Finally I have gotten answers to so many questions I wanted to know the truth about. To focus this episode on Grisha's perspective was a fresh way of telling the story, separating it from the usual point-of-view characters, and a clever way of delivering all that lore. I also liked the art design and animation for this new type of setting we get to explore, bringing a breath of fresh air into the visuals. The voice-acting was on point, the music was good and the final scenes were tense, ending the episode on a great cliffhanger. Now, the reason I feel I couldn't rate this episode higher is mainly because of my issues with the narrative pacing and structure. Here, in the first 10 minutes or so, we get the loredump to end all loredumps! It's, in fact, so much information to process that it felt impossible for me to remember every detail without rewatching the scenes in particular a few more times, which feels a little cheap. I prefer it when mystery based shows sprinkle out reveals on a consistent basis throughout its entire run, instead of dragging out the reveals for the biggest questions for several years (allowing people more time to predict what the answers are, or lose more and more interest in them over time) and then very suddenly giving you a boatload of answers at once. That's really my one criticism of how this whole story was handled. In the end, I still highly enjoyed it, and upon a potential future rewatch, when I've had time to process all the information, I might even like it more.",8 Everything was good. But seriously Black Elves and Knights in medieval Poland.,3 "This show was great for the first 5 seasons, it was original, funny, smart.... then the kids grew up and the writing lost its humour. Season 6 was ok, but after that it just went downhill. It's such a shame they didn't end on a high note rather than drag it out, flogging the horse until it was well and truly dead. Part of the problem was the child actors who were adorable when little but lost their ability to act as they aged!",5 "I usually enjoy satirical comedies, however I am always weary in the liberatory power of satire as it can often present as a double-edged sword. Take this film, for example. While I understand its fictitious narrative conveys the power of propaganda through the perspective of a child, it seems like this alone is the only reason why there are some who hold it in such a high regard. It is still a make believe representation. Ordinarily this is fine but for those who are inevitably gullible enough to take this satire as an accurate account of Nazi Germany I think it is potentially dangerous for it to play at devils advocate. The tonal mish-mash between comedic and tragic seems, I think misguided and isn't particularly funny given the subject matter. There was the odd bit of amusement but generally the story was quite dull, meandering unless your perspective is clouded by an idealisation of children's 'ways of knowing', to paraphrase the postmodern mindset.",3 "As someone whos finished the Witcher 3 game as well as watched all of GoT, I was quite excited for this show. In hindsight I should have lowered my expectations. At best The Witcher is average and with such a budget and material that is just not acceptable. For starters, the story is poorly told. Events take place not just in multiple locations but across different time periods which isnt made clear until youre forced to deal with immense confusion as to why characters that perished in one episode are miraculously alive and well in a subsequent one. There is no warning or explanation for this. One would hope with such a budget that the action scenes would be impressive but instead they are laughable as every trained knight or soldier gets to swing their weapon just once, misses or is parried, and then is felled with one counter swing. What is the point of wearing all that fancy armor if swords go through it like butter? Ridiculous both in performance and scale. Speaking of scale, dont get me started on that certain winged creature. I had to contain my laughter. The acting is often B grade at best. Maybe its due to the terrible scripts that the actors were saddled with, or just bad casting choices, but nowhere did I see even a single brilliant performance or dialogue worthy of remembrance. In the end this is a book and video game adaptation that just doesnt work very well and no amount of nudity will make up for its shortcomings.",5 "The production, world and (main) characters are all enjoyable. It does the adaptation of The Witcher world very well. Season 1: But there are some issues in storytelling and continuity. Both in the different timelines, but also just in normal scenes. The dialogues or scenes aren't always clear and leaves a lot to suggestion. In the end you'll have those ""ow, that's what they meant, or that's what happened"", but that's quite unclear at times and distracts from the otherwise great series. I still really enjoyed it, too bad for those moments, Looking forward to next season ;-) Season 2: Good vibe again. Very good production. Started a bit trivial and didn't flow well coming from season one, but after looking up a recap of season 1 to get some idea again of the messy story, got into It again. Entertaining again, acting is fine, Henry Cavill rocks as the Witcher, but still the storytelling and dialogues are unclear and messy at times. The last episode was a bit generic, which is a pity because up to that moment I found the story quite original. I'd like to give It a 9, but too many things go wrong to grant such a high rating, so I stick to my 8. Season 3: Wow! What happened? It starts to fall apart! Cavill is still amazing as the Witcher, but I really start to get annoyed with the women in this series. Yennefer can't carry her role, Ciri is far from impressive. Not just in acting, also in just simply bad story-writing and dialogues. How can somebody who's supposedly so important do so many stupid things? Even after big lessons which make her ""understand"" and ""impressed"" only to make the same mistake 5 minutes later. Yennefer holding a speech which is far from impressive and convinces a crew of experienced sorcerers. Right. The characters and storytelling is even more in-cohesive as It already was. Also, It just becomes so soapy. The action is still good, but the CGI is getting sloppy. The monsters are still very well made, but men, stop using those super obvious green screen scenes. It's not looking good for the continuation of the series sadly. Especially knowing Cavill, the only solid thing left, isn't part of season 4. I guess this is goodbye.",6 "My wife and I went to the movies in California in search of something to pass the time. We had no idea what Forgetting was about and no way of knowing if it was our type of film. We bought our tickets with the thought in mind we would walk out if it was bad or weird or whatever, just step next door and watch something else. Well the first fifteen minutes of the film were slow I thought and it was hard to see where this was going. All of a sudden it became good, the audience participation is something you seldom see in a film. One spot people were moaning no no don't do it. I will not explain so as to not spoil the event. It has been a long time since I had such a good laugh, thanks to all who made it possible. While everyone acted as though Sarah was the beauty of the film it was Rachel who stole this old mans heart, where did she get those eyes? My advice is go see this and enjoy.",8 "WARNING.!!! IF YOU'VE an epileptic condirion, neuropathy or photosensitive eye neurons.....be very careful watching season three, episode three. There are warnings that it can cause a reaction in some people, prone to seizures from photophobia etc.....I started feeling nauseous somewhat myself too. It's a great drama however and you just can't beat good old American ingenuity on CGI effects! Enjoy, Murf",9 "If you scroll down through all these 10/10 ratings that make this movie an 8.1, it's pretty clear that these aren't real reviews. ""best one yet!"" ""best one yet!"" ""best one yet!"" interspersed with much lower ratings claiming that the movie was awful. I thought the movie was about average for a tom cruise action film, which means below average for the kind of film I consider worth my time. it's not great. it's certainly no 8.1. and I am convinced that that is not an organic score. so I post the question again: if you can buy likes here like on facebook or instagram, what is the rating system worth? nothing. it just means the producers had a budget to buy likes. IMDB, please don't allow this. I've been counting on these reviews for decades. thank you.",3 "This movie is amazing. I watched it yesterday and it is really an amazing movie. The one thing I noticed was it is lengthy movie but it'll work your time. Story is simple and it is not a motivation movie.",8 Wunmi Mosaku and Eugene Cordero are the highlights of episode 1. I really don't understand why the ratings are so high already. NOTHING happened and I was actually bored the entire episode... until the very end.,6 "If you liked the last Mission Impossible with the same director (Cristoperh McQuarrie) then you will probably like this one too. Congratulations, you have just passed the test: you are braindead. Because only the braindead can enjoy another boring sequel like this one. Or the previous one. Both are mindnumbingly boring. Bigger stunts with cgi are SOOOO boring. And those same bigger cgi stunts cant cover up the fact that the story is without any real suspense whatsoever. Real suspense and an intelligent story is what made the original Mission Impossible movies 1, 3 and 4 so great. None of that in this sequel nr 6. Oh yes, I forgot about the jokes. There arent any. And those who should suppose to be funny are NOT. Jokes could have saved this movie, but they failed at that too. It isnt a big box office hit either. Figures. Mamma Mia is more popular. Both are giving me headaches though. I will watch one of the classic Mission Impossible movies 1,3 or 4 instead, just to keep the hope alive that Tom Cruise hasnt become a thing of the past, like Bruce Willis: turning out movies just because it is a franchise... Imdb should check out fake contributors that work for the movie industry, because there is no way that so many reviewers can give this movie 9 or 10 stars. That is just ridiculous. Even the braindead cant possibly be that dumb...",5 Not even worth the time. I would rather sit n stare at the sky instead. But this movie lacks everything. Pathetic acting poor storyline.,1 "The world's first and foremost female Super Hero, Wonder Woman at once embodies the unrivaled force and supreme grace of a born warrior, and the genuine compassion and understanding of a true humanitarian. As a symbol of equality, power, and truth, her natural confidence and unmistakable intelligence made her unequaled.Wonder Woman's origin story relates that she was sculpted from clay by her mother Queen Hippolyta and given life by Aphrodite, along with superhuman powers as gifts by the Greek gods The Amazons are technologically advanced peaceful civilization. The movie throws everything unique about Wonder Woman makes her a generic as possible. She is now the daughter of Zeus, the Bill Cosby of Greek Mythology. Amazons are stuck in 300BC because they are women and are not capable of inventing anything in 2000 years .She kills dozens of German soldiers like they are born Nazis. The movie most glaring problem is it's villains. They are generic bad guy with cringy dialogues. The main villain comes in the last 10 minutes of the movie ,says confusing things and unclear motives ,fights Diana in Bad CGI armor and is killed by Deus ex machina power. The movie has a lot of plot holes like How a tiny boat reached from Turkey to London in four days , How Amazons know English and How does invisible barrier work. Wonder Woman stays hidden for 100 years until Batman sents an Email . It is sad the DC changed so many things about Wonder Woman and made her generic while Marvel proudly embraced it in Black Panther. Hope we get a better accurate Wonder Woman movie.",5 "Seasons 1 and 2 are great. Watch them. Love them. Then quit. Yeah, there's a bit of a cliffhanger ending, and you'll want to know what happens. Don't look. Season 3 is a dumpster fire that just gets worse and worse. It will rob you of the fond feelings that you have for the first two seasons.",6 "It's good but could have been much better! Overall the story seems to have promise. A combination of medival swordplay and chivalry with some sorcery and mythology provides an unusual backdrop where viewers will need to learn of witchers, mages, royalty, human and elf, and dragon, and all manner of monster. I've not read the novels but find this story very hard to follow. It jumps in location, time, or both without notice. Much of this is for character development but changes occur without warning. Viewers will miss pieces of the puzzle while piecing together what is happening to whom and when. This all makes putting the storyline together hard. While struggling you're way through the episodes of season 1 if you give your faith, memory, and a good eye you can find much of the puzzle and complete good portions of the picture. It won't be complete and the writers and/or editors won't make it easy for you.",7 The show is pretty good. It's an interesting show with great characters. The only issue I have is how soft Will and the robot are. They have this badass robot that is a war machine but constantly tell it to not help them while they get their butts kicked.,6 "POSITIVES: 1) The direction was very good, there are lots of extended takes and long unbroken shots which I thought worked very well 2) The scene in which Tony watches the old tape of his father, and realises that his father did actually love him, worked incredibly well emotionally for me 3) The relationships in the film are explored very well; in particular Tony's relationships with Pepper and Rhodey are fleshed out very well I thought. All the times in which the film works best are when it is exploring the characters and their feelings NEGATIVES: 1) Neither Sam Rockwell or Mickey Rourke work as villains for me. They're both too unbelievable in their roles. Especially Mickey Rourke as one of the world's greatest physicists is just laughable. Seeing him at the end in his armoured Whiplash suit looked terrible 2) Having read the stories of John Favreau fighting with Marvel about having to put Nick Fury and the Avengers' references into the film, it does stick out like a sore thumb that these scenes don't fit with the rest of the film 3) Tony Stark is very unlikable at multiple points throughout the film. I understand that that is kinda the point, but he was so unlikable that when he was meant to be redeeming himself it just didn't work for me. 4) There are multiple points in the film where I just thought it seemed very dated and naff.",6 "I find the movie idea good. I could tolerate Craig's strange accent up to certain point even. The actors were really trying and the whole ensemble was really excellent. Only the stick with which we were treated to learn the lesson was maybe to hard and used too often. I managed half of the movie and at this point I had to pause the stream. I am sorry. I appreciate the hard deal quite some migrants get. I am an immigrant myself. But this is just too much. It may be that if done 10ya and seen 10ya this would not be so striking. I do not think so but maybe I am just too biased after string of movies that showed the same characteristic. You can have strong female and immigrant characters in less obnoxious and self-righteous way. After I ended the misery with this I watched max payne and here you had exactly that (and a shootout). Here is a detective story where intellect fights intellect as well as emotions. Or rather should have done that but could not because woke prevented that. I would have given it 1 if not for the cast and original idea. Convoluted as they all are in a detective stories it still could carry a film but not if one has to watch for ideology all the time. Give it to Critical Drinker for rewrite - it does not take much, you know. I am sure it could be saved. I mean the idea.",3 "The show itself is a mid category if you are not biased as most of the people here. I'm sorry but this show is the pale shadow of the game filled with modern politics instead of character development or action or horror. Really, really sas because I love the game só much. The casting is awful and the story is shallow. And this show still has the same ratings as GAME OF THRONES... Wtf people?! And if we are talking about ratings Imbd deletes most of the 1;2 of 3 ratings! What a shame when some people can't have an honest opinion about a tv show In 2022 but the 10/10 votes are still In... Isn't it unfair a little bit?",5 Ok movie to watch. But not something exceptional. Tensions stays high throughout the whole movie.,6 "When I came here to see the ratings for ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"", the average was 7.7 stars. A lot of 9-star and 10-star ratings. I avoid doing supposedly objective analyzes of anything, especially films, but here I'll make an exception: this film is awful, it is totally overrated. It's one of the most boring comedies I've ever seen in my life. It is hard to believe that this project was actually approved by executives in a studio.",2 "I tried to like ""The Matrix"", I really did. The commercials looked really cool with all the action shots and slow motion effects and I knew that I just had to see it. When did I give up on it? About halfway through the movie, (after the other 4 people I went to the theatre with had long since began laughing out loud at this silly, absurd, and massively boring film), Keanu goes to the apartment where the great oracle (or whatever) was baking cookies and retarded kids were bending spoons with their minds. That's when I stared laughing too. I'm sorry but my friends were right. This film sucked. Sure there were a couple of sorta cool action scenes but you had to sit through the insanely dull hour and a half of Lawrence Fishburn explaining EVERYTHING that happens in the film before these scenes even appeared. And the movie ""Blade"" had come out around the same time and was a MUCH better surreal action film. As for the silly karate scenes (or kung fu or Judo or whatever), they were no big deal. I mean, did you really think that Keanu was gonna be the next Bruce Lee? Do yourself a favor and rent (or better yet, Buy) the Jet Li ""Fong Sai Yuk"" movies. As for all the psychological babble about what world is real and what world isn't, it only added to the chaotic mess that was called a script for this waste of celluloid. Some say ""Battlefield Earth"" was a horrendous goofy mess. Well, it was, but no where near as bad as this. :)",2 "I am astonished by the reviews posted. My only explanation is that this deadly dull movie put everyone else to sleep and they thought they saw a better movie. The performances were very lackluster and the actors all (except for Tom Hardy) looked like they were performing in their sleep.There was no reason for any of the characters to be involved in this plan from a personal motivation reason, and their behaviours were completely arbitrary. Did they get paid for their time or was there some other reason to what they were doing in this scheme with the main character? I felt no connection or empathy for the main character or his motivation. There was no sense of unreality or mystery one would expect in a dream. The action sequences were dull and seemed to be just shooting people because there was a perceived need to have some gun fire. I struggled to stay in the theatre and see it through let alone stay awake.",4 One of my favourite MCU films. The run time felt like it was much shorter than it actually was... always a good sign. Action packed from the start and delivers throughout. Excellent film.,8 "Ok let's get one of the biggest things out of the way that happened with the release of this film, the comparisons to ""A Quiet Place"" Yes they share a similar premise with the most major change being that it's a different sense of the 5 senses (sight instead of sound), however it should be noted that the novel of the same name came out before A Quiet Place. Ok with that out of the way, how is the actual movie? It's ok, it's not great, and it's not as good as A Quiet Place, it suffers from a thin script in a thick concept, the character development is a bit weak and it doesn't really have an ending, it kind of just stops. However the mystery around what causes people to commit suicide and the followers is incredibly interesting with a better script would have served well with giving us more information of the followers of the thing. Another thing is that the acting is really good this is of course partially due to Sandra Bullock but the other actors do their jobs extremely well too. Overall this film while not high art is good for a few viewings however it does suffer from some faults but I enjoyed it. Honestly this is more of a 6.5/10",7 "this movie is for those who are emotional.who think about society,country and the development. a wonderful act by shahrukh.one of his best.i think so .its so beautifully crafted in camera..a soothing music..and some great actors..i like the acting capability of gayatri joshi.and not happy too why see left Bollywood acting skills was so natural.. every character from the movie was well placed..ashutosh ..i love you for making such a great movie..other directors.learn something. if you want see this movie see it please asap.the movie is a learning inspiration for other directors too.swadesh is a movie made by heart,story,learning.",10 "Don't get me wrong, Stranger Things is a good show with neat ideas, but it's also a huge rip-off 2011's ""Super 8"". On top of that, I personally feel like it's just as busy shamelessly playing on young people's false nostalgia of the 80's (D&D, Poltergeist, Ghostbusters, Star Wars, Toto, etc.) as it is with building its intricate universe. On top of that, I feel it to be pretty overrated. C+",6 "Season 1 and 2 of Stranger Things have a special place in my heart. The characters, the way how the story is unfolding and especially the atmosphere supported by a great, fitting soundtrack have totally done it to me. If season 3 would have been nearly on that level, i would probably rate this show with 9 or even 10 stars. Unfortunatly this not the case. Season 3 delivers a totally cliche and very uninspired plot, the mystery in the show got replaced by bad comedy and the charcters are not that strong anymore. Stranger Things also lost its feel for subtlety. If you like mystery or the 80s in general, there is no way around Stranger Things Season 1 and also Season 2, but avoid Season 3, it will be a big disappointment, unless you care more for action and some laughs then interesting storytelling.",7 "This movie was like a really charming Rom Com had a one night stand with the worst soft porn ever made and had a baby. The worst part is, the well written parts of the movie were fantastic, but every time you get comfortable, they throw in some grotesque sex scene or someone using profanity in front of small children. This is a head scratcher. I say they rewrite and remake the movie only be sure to fire the 14 year old perma ironic school kid who wrote in the profanity.",4 """The Godfather: Part II"" (1974), whenever I think of great movie sequels, this film always comes to mind, every time. Not only is it just as good as the first Godfather movie, it's even better in some aspects! It's tied with the first one as one of my top ten all-time favorite gangster films and it's also one of my top ten all-time favorite movie sequels. The crazy thing is, not too many sequels can hold a candle to the first film. But, ""The Godfather: Part II"" is the epitome of a sequel done right. It has a perfect story, perfect acting, perfect sets/locations, perfect special effects, and also a perfect soundtrack to tie it together. The plot for this one is a little different in terms of layout compared to the first movie. For those who think it's a continuation of the story, yes, it is that. But, it's also a prequel at the same time. In this film, we see a young Vito Corleone's rise to power, along with Michael Corleone's rise to power. Now, that plot line has been done before in other movies. Some do it well and some don't. Granted, a story like that can become convoluted if it's not executed properly. That being said, ""The Godfather: Part II"" does it seamlessly and it all ties together in the end. Since it's a prequel and a sequel all at the same time, you're essentially watching two different movies for the price of one! They could've very easily split these two coinciding plots into their own individual films. But, they took a risk and spliced them both together, which was a huge gamble that definitely paid off. The runtime is 200 minutes in length and that could very possibly draw people away from watching it. That being said, the film makers utilized every single one of those minutes to perfection. There is always something going on and it keeps you hooked all the way from beginning to end. It's probably the fastest 200 minute movie you will ever see. Seriously, you blink and it's over! Plus, for a complex plot such as this, the long runtime is crucial for showcasing the story and not one of those 200 minutes are wasted. All of the acting is top-notch once again, from every cast member! The lineup of actors and actresses is absolutely insane. You have: Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, John Cazale, Talia Shire and so much more. What a cast! One thing I was a bit worried about when I first saw this film, was the fact that Marlon Brando wasn't in it at all. He was fantastic in the first one! Instead, Vito Corleone was played by Robert De Niro. His portrayal of Vito Corleone was sublime, he really nailed the character! So much so, that you won't miss Marlon Brando's presence on the screen. All of the performances from the whole cast is perfect, but, my personal favorite character portrayal in this movie is Robert De Niro's performance as Vito Corleone, with Al Pacino's portrayal of Michael Corleone as a very close second. This film has some of the best acting I've ever seen in any movie! They all nail their performances flawlessly and the chemistry between each one of them is nothing short of impeccable. All of the sets/locations are breathtaking and give the film a stunning atmosphere. As far as the special effects go, they are all perfect and still hold up to this day. Finally, the soundtrack once again composed by Nino Rota, is a masterpiece. His film score sets the perfect tone and it helps tie everything together. ""The Godfather: Part II"" is a home run in the aspect of sequels, and especially crime/gangster films. It may not be my favorite crime/gangster movie, but it's definitely somewhere in my top five! I'm giving this film 5 out of 5 stars on my scale, which equates to 10 out of 10 IMDB stars. If you haven't seen ""The Godfather: Part II"", what are you waiting for? Go see it today! I guarantee that you'll love it, especially if you enjoy the first movie as much as I do. The film makers have managed to make lighting strike twice with this flawless sequel. If you don't see it, then Michael Corleone might mark you as a traitor!",10 "All the action you'd expect from a Michael Bay Movie. It might have been enjoyable with a script that wasn't totally lame. The actors did a good job with what they had to work with. But, even Ryan Reynolds couldn't save this movie, filmed in Turdistan. My browser thinks I spelled that wrong. I disagree. When I first looked at the reviews on the morning of the 13th of December, it was rated 8.9 by a total of 57 people. As I write this, at 2:30 am, on the 14th, it's been rated by 6,400 people and stands at 6.5. I expect it will keep dropping. I have no axe to grind. Not a hater. Just really expected a much better movie.",4 More respect for the victims should have been seriously considered before creating this! It is a complete distortion of the truth trying to mislead the people and hide the sinister agenda behind this ''accident''. LIES LIES LIES...,1 "I really like this series But the bad thing is the season is very short I and Many barely finish this season in 2 days And they make it soo slow 2019 season 3 2021 season 4 2 years for 8 episodes ??? Atleast release it fast",9 "Black Mirror is one of the most original and best Mini-Series ever created! Each episode tells a different story and while not all, most of them are fascinating. There are a few episodes that are not so good when compared to the others but most of them are fantastic! Each episode stands alone, this show gets compared to The Twilight Zone a lot and while it's a pretty good comparison, I think Black Mirror is actually a lot better. Every episode has an amazing cast and director. Every episode really makes you think afterwards. It's hard to explain how incredible this show is so just go watch it!",9 "People talk about sexuality and drugs all the time, but when suicide comes into the discussion nobody wants anything to do with it.... That's where this show is different, it doesn't romanticize the idea of suicide, it shows you the cold hard truth as to what can drive a person to that point, the show's message is clear that we should learn that our actions have a bigger effect on people than we may think. Let me continue by saying that the show also stresses that suicide is not the answer through Clay, who is the show's male protagonist suited with the task of listening to the tapes. Overall this is a very important show and I'm glad I watched it, though, it is a very hard show to watch because it is extremely sad. I do recommend watching it only 1 or 2 episodes at a time as it does take a toll on you mentally.",8 Trash. An actor doubting his worth. A little girl that was so smart and already a feminist. A caricature of Bruce Lee. An actor trying to show us how one feels/acts while on acid. Just a myriad of cliches and a collection of unfunny puns. Worst Tarantino movie ever.,3 "I've watched so many series but I this one has something in particular that really catch my attention. The dynamic duo between Hannibal and Wil it's beyond words, I also like how twisted but yet beautiful love they have. Photography, music and script are top tier. Such a shame this masterpiece got cancelled, I cannot understand quite yet why we're not getting more of that duo, I'd everything to have one season more or even just one more episode. I have to admit one of the things that drive me crazy is how Will and Hannibal are literally in love but it's implied in the more subtle but yet intense way, it's literally impossible not to notice their chemistry. Overall, I think this series is 10/10 in every possible way. HANNIBAL AND WIL ARE SO IN LOVE. JUST WATCH IT.",10 "12-year-olds or less may like it, but combining the characters of Spider-Man and the difference in his personality in more than one part was a mistake, I do not recommend watching it, as it lacks fun compared to the previous parts and it seems that the director is confused between the characters of Spider-Man, really disappointing aspirations.",3 "I was really hoping to like this, but it definitely fell flat for me. While the use of music was good, I was bored and didn't care about the characters or their situations. I went into the film expecting it to be more political, with less nudity and at least some chemistry between the characters. As it was, I was disappointed. If I had gone alone, I likely would have walked out of the cinema part way through. Would not recommend.",1 "Barbie's first live action movie revives the name of the toy franchise created by Mattel that after many years seemed to be forgotten along with other titles like Max Steel. This film manages to revive this franchise by presenting us with a magical world made up of many of the versions of Barbie and Ken that have been made throughout history. Barbieland recreates many of the elements and characteristics of the toys that marked the childhood of many girls. The movie is quite colorful, cartoony and wacky, with a rather childish goofiness and cartoonish humor that can if it can make some people cringe. She has all the femininity that has always characterized the Barbie franchise and becomes feminine enough to respect the vision of the franchise, while adapting to current times. Margot Robbie is very charismatic in her role as Barbie and Ryan Gosling manages to play a very nice Ken. As Barbie and Ken begin their great adventure into the real world, the film begins to gradually turn deep and philosophical, raising existential and social questions. In Barbieland everything is happiness and a dream land, but the real world is the opposite, this being a symbolism about discovering that reality is not as one imagines or dreams. Topics such as paradigm shifts, gender roles and human identity beyond being a man or a woman are also touched on. Barbie comes to question a lot about what her purpose is and Ken feels so isolated that he tries to be much more in a world where Barbies have had everything in their hands. The fundamental message that this film ends up being the human identity that exists beyond being a man or a woman, whose purpose is only defined by what society or social groups dictate. Barbie is clearly a movie that can generate different interpretations, that some will see it in a positive or negative way, but that makes it very clear the true and only message that this movie has and it is like the ideologies or positions implemented by society or groups Social networks have created a division about what to be or what to be, ignoring human identity. It not only questions right-wing ideas, but also left-wing ideas at the same time in the form of satire. In conclusion, Barbie is not only a film that gloriously revives the franchise and awakens some nostalgia in those who played with the toys or grew up with the animated films, it is a philosophical work on how society itself implants ideas or illusions that They make us forget our identity as human beings and who we really are, questioning our very existence. My final rating for this movie is 9/10.",9 ... then this movie is for you. I can see how this is probably a lot of fun for people who don't care about the Sherlock Holmes franchise but if you look for accuracy and people being portrayed true to character then this is not for you.,4 I would give it a 10 but I gave it a nine because I thought Ellen page sucked throughout.,9 "Fargo is a near perfect Coen Brothers film. It has witty banter, the perfect balance of character development and action, and a climax exceeding expectations. It is one of those few films that stand the test of time, and can entertain from beginning to end. It's dark, satirical, quirky, and fundamentally a unique flavour, catering to all aspects desired. Frances McDormand is incredible as the police office in charge of the investigation, and creates the perfect character to drive such a curious and intriguing story. She does very well in carrying such a well written film, with a fantastic ensemble cast. Fargo is an incredibly low-key great film, and is created to such perfection.",10 "A24 has a way of putting out these supposedly great arthouse horror films, but they almost all feel like the story is an afterthought once the filmmakers have come up with their premise. This film is a perfect example of that. Midway through the film, the characters actions and their motivations seem more and more unbelievable until the end when you can't help but think that the main character is either the most naive individual to walk the planet or just willfully ignorant to what is happening to her. The story gets pretty convoluted and the rules of how the hand is supposed to work is never clearly outlined, nor do we find out anything about the hand or it's origin or how these random kids in Australia have it or how the kids all way across the world at the end have it. One of the rare films where I would've like some elaboration on what was going on. Also, this film forgets the most important part of being a horror film. It's just not scary. Jumpscares only take you so far. Everybody talking about this film being brutal and shocking must be lying as well. If seeing someone hit their head on a table or a wall is gruesome to you just because blood is present, I'd have to say you're very weak stomached. Overall, a disappointing film. It is well made and the premise is a solid one. It's just a shame the filmmakers didn't do more with it. 2.5 psychic hands out of 5.",5 "Title says it all. Season 3 had no story line and it felt like it was thrown together. It looked like it was rushed just to get it out. Not waste you time watching season 3, you have already seen it in season 1&2",2 "The best thing in this movie is Gary Sinise. He growls, smirks, and spits his way through a terrific performance before his character is converted to Forrest's religion. Other than that, there's not much meat in this movie. I thought Hanks was pretty good as Gump, but it's not a role that you can screw up too badly because there's very little character to slip into. The biggest problem with it is the artificial, plastic directing job, something that other Zamekis productions suffer from also. The sequence of dying Lt. Dan ancestors is particularly egregious - it's supposed to be funny, I think, but doesn't quite make it. I'm also at a loss to explain why we needed the Gump within a Gump voiceover narration. It only adds to the syrupy tone with the kind of pseudo-humor you see in many TV commercials. This story could have told itself quite well without this and similar directorial tricks. I was a little bit bothered by the right-wing sensibilities present, but not all that much. I'm used to the co-opting of counter-culture product to prove alternate ideals (like the idea behind John Lennon's ""Imagine""). Using a false history as a dramatic device is OK with me, just do something interesting with it. Hollywood has a tendency to de-legitimize creativity as merely the accident of situation. Zamekis has done this before in Back to the Future, where Chuck Berry supposedly gets his inspiration for ""Johnny B. Good"" from one performance (instead of years of hard work). I hate it when this is used for a joke - and not a very good one, usually. Just like many things in this movie, it's pandering to the nostalgia of the audience. Similar things are done to Bear Bryant. But I digress. The best scene in the movie is when Hanks sees Sinise at the dock and runs into the water to greet him. It sums up both characters beautifully. And despite (or maybe because of) the heavy borrowing from other movies, other good scenes are the barroom scene with Hanks and Sinise, the orgasm scene, and the initial meeting of Hanks and his Drill Sergeant. I mention these because they don't typify the piled-on heavy sentiment that the rest of the movie employs.",4 "Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man is still pretty good as the web slinger and Kirsten Dunst as MJ is still good. Now we have Alfred Molina playing Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus and he plays the the character amazingly. The action is fun especially the train fight is amazing and the epic music from Danny Elfman makes the entire movie amazing. The acting is still funny and cheesy but it makes it really entertaining especially with the acting. This is worth watching if you liked Spider-Man from 2002. I can see why people think this is the best comic book movie or sequal. I'm not going to say I disagree with that statement but it is one of the better comic book movies out there even though people can find some issues.",7 Essentially a pastiche of many action films. Most notably John Wick and Inception. Even the theme music seems to be quite close to Han Zimmers 'Time' - wonder if there will be a copyright claim.,5 "I was so excited to see the film, because I absolutely love the book, but it has practically nothing to do with it, except the ending, which is the only good part of the movie. The story occurs so fast, the games to win the keys are stupid (except the final one), a lot of nonsense occur, the people that made the movie clearly dont know about videogames and are just doing references, etc, etc. It sucks.",5 "Anurag Basu had done it again. I really loved the way everyone meets each other path without interfering in either lives. Like the way it was genuinely used but definitely this movie will have mixed reviews. Many people might not be able to cope up with it but those who are more into art films like this they are definitely going to love it. Happy to say I watched it through! Cinematography - 4/5 Acting -3.5/5 Storyline - 4/5 Direction - 4/5",9 "My experience of the Witcher's lore and history goes as far as playing Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, therefore my review may not hold much gravitas as others due to my lack of book knowledge. On the other hand, knowing that this show is based upon the books and NOT the video game allows me to approach this TV series with a fresh set of eyes whilst still appreciating some of the history, characteristics and existing relationships between Gerald and the rest of this vast fantasy world. As a massive fan of fantasy in both movies and TV I'm always sceptical when it comes to widely publicised or highly hyped new series, re-makes, or re-vamps. However, the Witcher's first season was brilliant. Sure, they spent an average of about $10 million per episode but the Witcher offers so much more than the impressive camera angles and expensive visuals. Digging deeper and past the ascetics of the show there are so many underlying elements that make this show more than an emotionless Michael Bay-esc production. The dialog, emotional suspense, character interaction, lore appreciation and complex relationships amongst other elements are all there. Each character has their own story, personality and weaknesses which get revealed more and more throughout this first season, doing a great job at introducing potential character arcs and hinting at future character development. As for the casting, Henry Cavill playing Gerald is worthy of noting, his performance on screen is perfect and attitude to the character off screen has made him an instant hit for this show, can't really fault his performance so far. Anya Chalotra as Yennefer is definitely a good casting, the chemistry with Cavill is definitely there and it's notable that she's a confident actor, looking forward to seeing her and Gerald's relationship develop. The young Freya Allan as Ciri is the last cast member of the 'main three', compared to the other two her performance isn't as convincing or captivating - This isn't unexpected to due to acting experience of the others and screen time they got compared to Ciri, however I do believe Allan will drastically improve for season two. It is very hard to fault this show, but if I was cherry picking I would mention that the chronology and constant 'flash-backs' in the first season got me slightly confused. I was nearly half way through the show and realised that some characters where on different timelines. Season two is set to release in 2021 and I can't wait. There is probably more expectations for season two now than for the first, having now gathered a fan base and diverse viewers pleasing all of them will be near impossible, so I'm intrested to see which route they take this show - Full on fan service or a complex and compelling story. The countdown begins! One last thing - This is not GoT, do not compare the two. Yes there are swords, yes there is magic and yes there are mythical beasts but this is a completely different fantasy world. Detach yourself from the huge expectations and enjoy the show on its own.",8 "I think some people reviewing are quite disappointed by the movie because they were looking to have nightmares after seeing BirdBox - which is fair given all the buzz around the web as ""the scariest thing ever"" If you are big on the horror genre, this will not blow your mind. It has less jump scare moments and many more ""oh god, no!!!"" moments Which doesn't make the movie worse, just different That being said, it a entertaining movie cool premise of a creature that makes you feel stuff so horrid you commit suicide merely by looking at it. The plot could definitely do a better job on the whys and hows of this came to be. Same goes for the ending. All in all, not the biggest thing ever as the hype might suggest, the way the plot develops is a bit disappointing, but ultimately an entertaining movie but will make for a well spent 2 hours. 7/10",7 "Is Jury Duty a great show? Nah, but very often it is so darn funny. Is it repetitious? It is. But the cast is so darn good who cares? It's a premise that is really fun. James Marsden is terrific as the stereotypically egotistical Hollywood semi star. But the other jurors/actors are perfect, too. Each one is so real. However, the luck of the series is finding the guy who is left out of the loop. He is so charming, sweet, compassionate, sincere - but not without raising his eyebrows in disbelief when things get crazy at times. The last episode when the ruse is revealed is excellent. It's actually heartwarming and touching. It makes up for some of the dull stretches.",7 "The concept of multiple dimensions and parallel universes is overused but still they somehow made it that for the life of me i couldn't grasp the plot of this movie, The movie is a major disappointment from start to finish. While it had the potential to be an engaging and thrilling experience, it ultimately fell flat due to an incomprehensible plot and a predictable ending that left little room for surprise or excitement. The constant cuts and jarring transitions left me with a pounding headache and the feeling of disorientation. The editing choices seemed almost gratuitous, with rapid-fire cuts and dizzying camera movements that served no real purpose other than to create a sense of chaos. The result was a film that felt disjointed and overwhelming, leaving me feeling disoriented and unable to fully engage with the story, just waiting for the ending. One thing that cannot be denied though is the strength of the actors performances. Despite the challenges presented by the disjointed plot and dizzying editing, the cast delivered powerful and convincing performances that were truly captivating. In particular, Evelyn Wang deserve special recognition for her outstanding work. Her performances were nuanced, heartfelt, and incredibly moving, and she managed to elevate the film despite its many flaws.",3 "For those who have played the original Naughty Dog videogame would know that the story is going farther and farther away from the original story after the second episode. For many, the third episode turned out to be the final nail in the coffin. The third episode was lewd, uncalled-for and completely out of line. The locales are incorrect too. For instance, 10 miles West of Boston and the backdrop is that of the Rocky Mountains (filmed in Alberta!). And the buildings do have junk on the floors but the walls show fresh concrete after at least twenty years of in no use with ripped ceilings and water inflow and so on. The Last of Us has turned quite unimposing since the third episode.",1 "Hugely disappointing! This film is nothing but a rehash of previous Scorsese films. Pacino is Pacino not Hoffa. DeNiro goes from brown eyes to blue to brown throughout the film. You can't tell if the film is in the 50s, 60s, 70s it's all the same, the aging on the characters is a joke, all 75+ year olds trying to be in their 30s, 40s, even 50s is too cringe worthy to watch. Seriously?! Anyways this film is long winded, boring and completely forgettable. Any hype is only attributed to the reunion of Pesci, DeNiro, Pacino & Scorsese that's it and sadly it falls flat! They should all retire as it seems all they can act is a caricature version of their former much acclaimed roles. I didn't bother watching the whole thing it was too boring and repetitive. Had high expectations for a unique collaboration for this group instead all I got was a repeat short cut remake of their past films under the guise of a movie about some schmuck who knew and worked with Hoffa. Y A W N",2 "The first episode looked promising, by the end of the second episode I'd lost interest and realised I wasn't watching it anymore. Tried the third episode thinking maybe it would pick up. Won't bother with episode 4.",1 "The series started off kind of weird and zany, but she was mourning for her loss. She was going through a processes of healing and when challenged by the powerful Agatha Harkness, she evolved, and became The Scarlet Witch!!",8 """The Godfather"" introduced to pop culture the inside of a fictional mafia family that many drew connections. The big secret is that GF II better's the original. It may be the only sequel in movie history to accomplish this feat (The Empire Strikes Back is debatable). For three hours and twenty minutes we are shown a two prong plot where Michael Corleone must deal with his current enemies while at the same time driving a wedge between his family. The other plotline is the rise of Vito Corleone. This is well played by Robert DeNiro, who received an Oscar for his performance. The movie viewer has a complex soap opera that does not disappoint. It's deep and dark. It shows that unlike his father, Michael has to sacrifice his wife and children to hold the family name. Meanwhile, Vito shows his ability to lead by taking out the local boss and establishing his own racket. Michael is seen as the tragic figure, the one member of the family who wanted to be legit and turns out to be more ruthless than his father. It's a shame this wasn't the original Godfather. Many love to mimic Brando's great performance, this movie is pure genius.",10 "Seriously, worst film ever made. No character formation, carbage and the girl are a bad version of joker and harley queen, NOTHING makes sense. The things that carnage can do are not clear, Cletus Kassady's reaction to carnage's power doesn't make sense. WORST FILM EVER.",1 Netflix loves to waste money is all I can say. And the action isn't worth it like some would say.,1 "Nice shots and atmosphere, especially of the cars (one of which has to be one of the most menacing in movie history). But the story feels too fragmented and without much development. And there's little trace of Tarantino's trademark gradually increasing tension. Instead there's a lot of people watching movies. Fiction and real-life are mixed, but don't really blend together. The Sharon Tate plot feels separate from the rest, and Rick and Cliff are just witnesses to this plot and never really engaging with it. Even our dynamic duo mostly acts on their own. I miss the cooperation, chemistry and dialogue like Vincent and Jules had in Pulp Fiction. There's one scene where they comment a show together though, Beavis & Butthead style. Strange, but I'll take it. The characters: Pitt is playing his coolest looking Robert Redford type character ever. He has a promising backstory, but it never plays out properly. And slick Leo never convinces me as an struggling cowboy actor from that era. He looks too contemporary and isn't interesting enough as an actor to play this character. This is probably a film that's enjoyed fully if you're a old-school Hollywood fan and want to see it recreated, because the story, style and characters alone aren't that satisfying.",5 "Where do I start. Character development? World building? Storyline? This show has everything in it bundled up in light-heartedness but with serious themes and lessons. I'm a 30 year old man who has watched nearly every tv show imaginable and my reccomendation to anyone is to watch this series if you haven't, and if you have, watch it again. I have never seen a show where I could literally watch it repeatedly over the years. I've watched maybe a handful of shows twice but this one I revisit every 3-4 years since it aired and it captivates me the same way. It's aged amazingly well and I'm happy to see the recognition it's been getting as a timeless classic. Please do yourself a favor and watch this show if you haven't. It's worth every second.",10 "Hi guys writing the review for the first time on IMDb.Anyway before writing about the movie i would like to tell you that i used to be a JABRA SRK FAN in my school and college days.Liking and supporting every of his nonsense movies and fighting with friends when they don't like srk's movies.But off late i started getting so disappointed with the kind of movies he is working in and as a FAN it was sad to watch boring movies of him with low box office collection.DILWALE,JAB TAK HAI JAAN,HAPPY NEW YEAR,RA.ONE,RNBDJ kind of movies doesn't use his talent it works on his stardom only.coming back to FAN,its not typical SRK movie where he dance and laugh for no reason.It has story,drama,thriller and great direction of Maneesh Sharma.You will feel the character of Gaurav by his expressions,every scene is powerful specially SRK meets Gaurav(srk).You will not get bore for even a minute,movie will keep you on your seat till it ends and you will walk out with heavy heart. I would like to see such kind of movies from SRK,no nonsense no overacting no Rona dhona no bullshit.KEEP THIS WORK SRK says your not so Jabra Fan anymore,Love you king khan.",8 "..everything else tv-produced by marvel and dc combined is quantity stool water material for the dumb public masses. Punisher is now cancelled, however it will remain the only show created in the 21th century with some sense of substance and soul. Jon did a decent job and has showed he's a competent actor, even if it's debatable he was the best choice as Frank Castle. The wise do not show trust towards greedy and corrupt disney, a future production of The punisher is likely gonna be better than this show. Perfection doesn't exist, but if a new show does arise in the coming years, at least do not hire Ben barnes again, I've had enough of overdramatic pretentious hipster actors in american ""tinsel town"".",8 This show was really funny until Netflix took over. It was a mistake for them to try and make more seasons. Don't even watch them and you'll still respect the show.,7 Season 1 is awesome but season 2 is little boring. Makers can end this series in 2nd season but the leave suspense in the end,9 "Expected better from MCU, a very slow and boring show overall. Could have been a complete disappointment if not for the good ending.",5 "The only thing good about this movie was pumba played by Seth Rogan. I was bummed because I wanted to like this movie but it just wasn't good, just ok. You can tell just by the voices and it's hard to follow. They gave the parts to singers because they can sing. I feel they could have trained actors to sing for there Part. This movie didn't live up to the hype and in no way live up to the original. Love Jon Favreau, I appreciate his work in movies. But this one was a stinker.",2 Nothing but toilet humor and porno talk. I wanna cry at the wasted opportunity they had to make a good comedy SciFi yet all we get is filth talk. It's a shame. I can't believe this would be allowed to be shown on any platform without an X rating. The humor wasn't even good. It was Gratuitous and filthy. Don't waste your time with this one.,1 "Good writing. Have had some good laughs watching the whole series. Glad they have a comclusive end, otherwise would have perfectly superimposed an Indian sitcom, ""Tarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashmah"".",7 "Could have been so much better.... Love the book and the idea of Spielberg directing. But, in this one he fails. It´s a good movie still, so see it!",6 "Anyone who doesn't like this show needs to see a proctoligist..Its the most action packed best story in any movie or show and very surprised at some of these reviews...I would love to hear some of the shows that you think are better put together with such great twists..Yeah of course some of its fake its a TV SHOW THIS STUFF Didn't REALLY HAPPEN IT Didn't SAY TRUE STORY...But yet people have to voice there opinion like as im a marine this show is way off base and Jack bauer doesn't even know how to shoot a gun?Really?Its always an ex marine so to say that mocks this movie cause its not real... OBV WE Weren't WATCHING THE SAME THING and thats why not many things are over a 9.0 cause of come JADED IDIOTS WHO ARE NEVER HAPPY!!!!! TONY,Jack,and chloe make this whole show with outstanding acting in there characters...",10 "To start, it is not as good as the first knives out. I highly doubt that movie can be topped. But contrary to most of these reviews, this movie had a lot to like and it very much reminded me of the original. Im not sure what was so confusing about the plot to everyone, everything made perfect sense to me. It gave information in an interesting way and it had some very good payoffs. I liked the ending, unlike many people, as I thought it was a very satisfying conclusion to the story. However, most of the characters in this movie are purposefully unlikeable (and happen to be conservative), which is why I do believe some negative reviews stem from certain biases of the audience. I very much enjoyed this movie, but it might not be for everyone.",9 "I don't know why Marvel thought it would be a good idea to make this sequel. It makes the first movie much more confusing and goes in the complete opposite direction as the first. First of all the story is the same pile of garbage as before, just in a different movie. When will Marvel learn that they need to be more creative and take more risks like DC does. Secondly the graphics in this movie are so terrible and obviously fake that it just makes your eyes hurt. I didn't understand why the characters kept saying that the talking dog was a raccoon??? And I didn't realize that Groot was supposed to be a plant. Obviously the actors and the director no idea what the animation was supposed to be or what the animators were planning. Personally I would have fallen asleep, but the music was constantly blaring into my ears like a jet engine. And it didn't help that they chose the worst music from the 80s and 90s. Over all I would say that Marvel needs to stop making movies and figure how to improve.",2 "The damming indictment of this film is that an unimaginative idiot like me could have written the plot. In fact I did write the plot! Within a few minutes of the start of the film I had every major plot point mapped out, and idly continued to watch in the hope there may be a twist or a moment of originality. But nope, the story followed its pre ordained curve to a tolerance that would shame a master craftsmen. The producers couldn't even cast imaginatively. The white Africans played by Brit actors turned out to be villains...who'd have thought? The redeeming features of the film are perfectly good acting, good production values- apart from the script obviously- and it wasn't too long. If like me you have children and movie watching time is precious, watch The Last King of Scotland (9), The Constant Gardner(7), or even the Lord of War (5) before Blood Diamonds (2), if your in a mood for a view of white imperialism over Africa.",2 "I'll be the first to say I LOVED the first movie and was super excited to see this movie. I never expected to not like this but was a literal filler movie. The only way I can think to describe this movie is if you've ever watched a long-running series that has 'filler episodes' where nothing really happens but it's setting up for something big-that's what this movie is. I don't know how anyone could spoil this movie because literally nothing happened that isn't shown in the previews or in a tagline! This movie dragged and the second I started to perk up in my seat because it was starting to get exciting, the credits rolled. Also, this movie is called ""The Crimes of Grindelwald"" and he's in there for maybe 5 minutes total. A fantastic cast and fantastic special effects all wasted on a non-plot.",2 "I don't know how to say this, but I couldn't finish my popcorn, some scenes are disgusting - Wasn't there a better way to nicely direct the liquid of saliva??",9 "I am a huge Marvel comics fan and am quite familiar with Venom's origin and involvement in the comics. The first movie was a pleasant surprise to me as the special effects were great and the story was better than expected. I had high hopes for the sequel when Carnage was announced as Venom's nemesis. First, the good...special effects are still great and there are a few good fights scenes. Carnage looks awesome and that was worth the price of admission if you're a fan. The bad...half of the movie focuses on the nonsense of the antagonistic relationship between Brock and Venom. It's like a soap opera we never asked for. These squabbles and storyline were completely unnecessary. This also diminishes the terror and intimidation factor of Venom. Never in the comic did Venom make Brock eggs and bacon in the morning while telling bad jokes. Eating chickens instead of people? Oh C'mon. Maybe they had no plot and this was the best they could do. Regardless, I'm disappointed in how they portrayed Venom in this movie. For Marvel fans, check it out for the special effects and mid-credits scene. However, you'll leave the movie feeling betrayed.",5 "PHAS GAYE RE OBAMA(2010) comedy Cast-Rajat Kapoor,sanjay mishra,Manu Rishi chadha,Neha Dhupia. A NRI man gets bankrupt on the period of recession and comes to India to sell his house to pay his loans back.The film starts when he is kidnapped assuming him to be a millionaire. Jolly LLB series director Subhash kapoor has written a classic script involving the recession period.It is very difficult to make a comedy film in India which manages to keep both script and humour simultaneously convincing and only a few films are able to do and this film is among those few flicks.

AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE.",8 "This movie, as 99% of Hollywood's productions, was made for kids and teens, or people who think they are still kids. I don´t want to say it's bad or stupid, it's just...like a floppy, disposable, toy. As an adult, I felt a waste of time sitting down and trying to watch this kind of material, even with one of my kids besides me, enjoying it. Saying this, if you take this movie seriously you can point out the following: 1. It lacks of historical accuracy or even the remotest realism (pirates were bandits blessed by the Queen who used to attack Spanish vessels, I guess, or someone told me that). 2. All the characters are caricatures from a comic strip 3. The plot is 0, nil, nought, zero. 3. The formula: Maximum adventure with Minimum suspense (poor Hitch!) 5. Avalanche of FX to keep the children amused. 6. No dialogs, no conflicts, no real life. But, who wants these things today?",4 "Broadly this series narrates how superpower could become a great abuse and those having it could use it to their benefit. With great power comes great responsibility but what happens if the responsibility is written off. Its quite action packed, quick and eventful. Especially when you see how ordinary humans try to put a check on superhumans. In some scenes the leverage they put against superhumans don't sound convincing enough. As well there are some fight sequences between super heros which are thrilling.",9 "It's been several years since I last saw Dirty Dancing, and I can still remember the plot pretty well. This is not because I read other reviews, or because it's one of my sister's favorite movies, nor is it because it's one of my girlfriend's favorite movies. I remember the plot because it's the same basic plot the world has seen in countless other films like ""Cutting Edge"" or ""Strictly Ballroom"" or even ""The Karate Kid."" Sure, there are some cosmetic differences, but scrape away the makeup and change a few locations and you've got the same flick, over and over and over again. Having said that, I will guiltily admit I enjoyed the film when I last saw it. It entertained and held my interest in a way that I cared enough about the characters to want to see them succeed in the final dance competition. Of course, I was about sixteen. You can draw your own conclusions from that last point.",3 "I haven't reviewed a film in awhile but I was so appalled and insulted by this worthless, childishly written and ill-conceived film that I had to warn you not to see it! You're going to wish you'd spent your time more wisely! The writers, the Cuaróns, don't seem to understand an awful lot, namely: space, technology, people, NASA, reentry realities, how people speak, philosophy (their attempts at philosophical statements are so corny and vacuous they sound like cheesy coffee cup sayings from the 1960s), and more. The writing is vapid, empty, unbelievable, the comments at times of crisis incredibly cheerful and unreal... Example: the character played by George Clooney (whom I admire and is the one shining light in this dreadful film, which he couldn't save in spite of his efforts) asks the character played by Sandra Bullock what town she's from, to get her mind off a crisis in space. Come on, guys! These astronauts would already know what towns they're from by this time in their lives! The writers are just...dopes! (Sorry!) Another example: Bullock's oxygen is low yet Clooney has her talk to him incessantly (and it's all stupid small talk that makes you want to puke) to stay focused - notwithstanding that this very activity (in real life) would cause her to use up her oxygen all the faster! This movie is an insult to the viewer's intelligence. It plays out like those childhood games we used to play on the playground - you know, hey, push this button, see if that one works! Hey - it does! No need for training, eh? Dumb, dumb, dumb - and you're going to feel stupid if you watch this flick. The only thing good are the visuals but those don't sustain a movie and they're not exactly the most state-of-the-art stunning displays of creativity ever. In fact, you don't feel you've seen anything new at all. I'm just really angry that Hollywood felt audiences would be so uninformed and unsophisticated that they would think this movie was anything other than what it is, namely, space trash! Want another example of how very stupid this is? Sandra Bullock spends much time in space, bare-legged and barefoot and actually returns home from space bare-legged and barefoot and essentially wearing underwear! Come on! The ending, too - without being a spoiler - is just so fantastically unreal as to make you shake your head. What was the studio that put out this hopelessly clueless movie thinking? Did anyone at all research what real space flight was like? Doubtful. Regardless - this movie's ignorance of its own subject is one thing. Its dialog is another. It's so amateurish to make one wonder what made these guys think they could get away with their incompetence.",1 "Fargo is an excellent film and it's one of my favorites. Everything about this movie is great, from the score, to the tragic plot, the dark comedy, the editing, directing, and the performances. The comedy of this film is something that is perceived differently by everyone, some think it's hilarious, others don't get it, and some don't see why it's funny at all. All of the comedy is hilarious, but it takes some thought to understand certain things. The plot is quite simple. A car salesman(William H. Macy) is in debt and needs money that he can't receive, so he hires two thugs to kidnap his wife, forcing her wealthy father to pay a Ransom. Quickly, everything about his plan goes completely wrong, resulting in the deaths of several people across Minnesota, caused by the kidnappers he hired. On the trail of the thugs is pregnant cop, Marge(Frances McDormand). The characters are simple people, but they are very memorable. William H. Macy is excellent and very believable as the over extended car salesman, it's no wonder he was nominated for best supporting actor. Steve Buscemi, who is one of my favorite actors, is great as the kidnapper, Carl Showalter, who is trying to get money by all means possible, Frances McDormand is very deserving of her Oscar for her performance as the pregnant Midwestern cop. Another memorable character is Gaer Grimsrud(Peter Stormare). He is Carl's psychopathic associate in crime, and he is very quiet. Peter Stormare is very good, he makes a convincing sociopath, which is a difficult role to play. The plot is simple, and there aren't any BIG twists that many people look for in movies, but that is part of the beauty of this film. The Coen brothers were able to weave a story of a kidnapping and murder into a film with a simple, but very involved plot. The editing is very good, especially considering how visual the film is. There is one scene about an hour into the film that is very well paced and suspenseful, and a lot goes on in that scene as well. All of it is perfectly guided by the editing. In my opinion, this film never gets old. The humor always stays funny, the dialog always stays clever and entertaining, and the plotting always keeps me interested. This is a gem of American cinema, and I hope you enjoy it the same way I have enjoyed it.",10 "Felt a big disappointment stepping out of the movie theater, the expectations were huge. I've been waiting and waiting for something to happen, to the narrative to go somewhere, and suddenly, its over. like a big prologue to a movie that will never happen. After the disappointment has cooled down, i can say this is a modest film about a certain tragic situation during war world II. there are no main characters that the viewer can relay to. a main character isn't the issue here, only the situation, and its stressful, horrifying and isolated, and all this hard emotions are well crafted and expressed using cinematic tools. i can conclude that this story is close to the heart of Mr. Nolan, and he wanted to make a movie out of it for a long time. Cheers. Score 6.5/10",1 "Of course the acting is on a very high level considering the cast and they don't fail to deliver. However the script and the timing is not enough to get emotionally attached to anything. They throw at you so much misery for every single face that appears in the series, that instead of carrying for something or someone from the characters - you are like - OK, so that happened. Let's move to the next sad point and then to the next.",7 "If you like supernatural stuff without any explanation whatsoever, you may like this movie. It's along the lines of Cloverfield or Blair Witch Project. While I do enjoy sci-fi and to some extent fantasy, it needs to be credible too. Bird Box just doesn't make any sense and is way overboard with seemingly impossible, made-up stuff, without explanation or even an attempt to rationalize what's going on. On the plus side, Sandra Bullock is a great actor and she didn't disappoint in this movie.",1 "I got really exited during the first ten minutes of this movie and said to myself, ""This is really going to be a good movie."" I love war movies. Then they kept re-enacting the same scene over and over again. Each time adding a little more information. Honestly it got annoying. The whole movie was practically one scene being played over and over again However, my biggest gripe about this movie is the fact that I could not understand 1/2 of what the actors were saying because of their British accents. I am not trying to be cute or anything like that but honestly I could not understand 1/2 of what they were saying. If I was at home watching it on TV I would have activated the CC feature on my TV. Maybe I would have enjoyed the movie a little bit more.",5 "this could have been aired as a documentary on what do do when you are stuck in space. It is understandable why the movie was only 91 minutes long as the story line was a single event. not enough of a story to hold my interest. the view of earth was nondescript so what one is left with is the science of gravity and things floating in space. while those flying objects were fun to watch they merely ended up nowhere as all one could see in this film was SPACE. and did i mention that it was 91 minutes of SPACE. had i not viewed this film in 3D on the big screen I am certain it would have been a bore....though I would have watched it to the end just to see its conclusion. not disappointed that i saw the movie, just not sure what all the hype was about. I felt like a judge on ""the Voice"" waiting for someone to hit the ""high note"" that never came. I would never want to see this film in 2D, nor would I ever need to see this film again. While I am not saying the fierce dilemma that became the characters' motivation in this film was a ""who cares"" situation but really I didn't feel the character development allowed me to care all that much.",7 "After seeing all of the hype on Instagram, I decided to watch this myself. A lot of the reviews were half ""I loved it!"" and half ""It was awful."" I actually think it was pretty good. It didn't take too too long to get to the action, and Sandra in this film is very into her character. In fact, I think everyone's acting was solid. Yes, the plot of an unseen force that makes people commit suicide is basically the same as The Happening (the author of the Bird Box novel was inspired by that film so that's why), but Bird Box has an added layer of terror since you can't rely on sight, probably the most important sense we have. Where it falls short, however, is the lack of explanation for most things and plot holes. I found myself asking why and how a lot so it was a bit unsatisfying in that regard. Other than that though it was a nice apocalyptic thriller and I'd recommend it to someone who likes the genre.",7 "Lost in the sauce. idea was good but the movie is too irritating, boring and way too long",3 Rating R is not good for kids and teenagers No violence is not an answer.,4 "Well, while I found the overall story cliché and full of plot holes, it was quite entertaining and that credit goes almost entirely to Oscar Isaac. I always found him to be a B- tier actor, and that mostly isn't his fault because his character in the Star Wars Parody trilogy was so bad that I most likely grew a bad bias about him, but he did convince me of being an A+ tier actor in this show. Hollywood is so filled with actors that can only play the same character over and over again that seeing an actually outstanding performance is quite rare. 7 stars show, 10 star performance for Isaac.",7 This is real crap and not Marvel quality as we're used to see,2 "I thought this series would resemble the movies too much but there is hardly any resemblance except for Hannibal being his subtle horrific self.Hannibal is the same character as in the movies,but in the series he is a trustworthy and renowned psychiatrist AND an adviser of the FBI which makes everybody believes him.Or, he coerces them into believing him by the occasional drugging,manipulation and/or killing,that is just brilliant.An ingenious feature of Hannibal is,that he himself also visits his own psychiatrist weekly.Let's not forget Will Graham's character who is vital to the story line: mentally unstable adviser of the FBI who feels what the perpetrators did to their victims and why; sublimely acted!The way the story is being told is magnificent: you,the person who watches,know a lot of horrifying info,but the characters do not.Step by step they find out, or not,under the influence of Hannibal.The overall storyline of Horrific Hannibal combined with the separate cases of bizarre serial killers works very well.The limitless imagination of the writers is admirable. Even the episodes in which not much is happening,there is always an eerie ambiance.Acting/story/music/filming = sublime,props to the creators!",10 "It starts off kind of confusingly because of the mashed up timeline, which I heard will change in Season 2. Do not compare it to GoT because The Witcher is a type on its own. Henry Caville does an excellent job as Geralt of Rivia and Yenefer is an interesting character as well. What I would like to be improved is the dialogues. There is a lot of use of modern words which mess up the medieval atmosphere (who would say 'convey a survey'?? Come on!). Some scenes are so artfully directed and others painfully not. If you are fantasy lovers, you will love this show. It just needs a little sprucing up.",8 "The humanity must be crazy. This movie is a silly joke, ridiculous. and near of terrible reality of Africa should be watched as offensive.",2 Loved Season 1. Dropped out after S02E04. The show was already getting boring at this point but then the woke preaching began. Damned shame. Bye bye,4 "Managed to make it through to the end purely because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It really wasn't about very much. This was truly one of the most tedious films I have seen. Those who lauded Bill Murray for appearing in this tosh are seriously misguided. Even Groundhog Day is better than this. Stuff those who say 'If you're not sensitive, you won't get it'. To them I say, 'Emperor's New Clothes'. It failed totally to retain my attention, my popcorn was more exciting. People don't want to spend their hard-earned on 'gentle' stuff, they want excitement, escapism, thrills, fantasy - stuff that gets them away from their everyday lives. Bill Murray, please don't waste your time making another movie as tedious as this.",4 "This is what I call a ""breakfast movie"". It's the type of movie when you don't know what to watch while you're eating your breakfast. So you put this on, and watch it till you're done with your breakfast, and then turn it off and go on about your day. And then the next day you continue the movie while you're eating your breakfast again. It's the perfect ""background noise"" for those kinda mornings. But to sum it up. It's just another Adam Sandler movie. His bad, overrated and bland acting mixed with corny jokes and bad dialogues. Weird chemistry between him and Jennifer Aniston. Almost like they were both trying to ""out funny"" each other, by being ridiculously childish. There were like once or twice where there was a semi silent chuckle moment. But that was it. Some of the other actors had pretty decent acting though. But the two main actors were just straight up bad and cringe. The plot itself is meh. I mean there's plenty of other ""murder mystery"" type of movies out there that are a hundreds times better. The best part about the movie was probably some of the scenic shots of the European countries. 3/10.",3 "At the beginning when you're finding out everything about the characters they seem kind of one dimensional and caricature-like, and that doesn't change much throughout the movie. It also doesn't make sense that such wildly different people would be friends. I thought I wasn't going to like it based on that, but around the mid-point there's an interesting twist that got me invested again. By the third act though I was predicting everything and was pretty shocked that I could see obvious things when the characters were totally oblivious. Setups near the beginning made things obvious towards the end, which really ruins a ""mystery"" type movie. Unrealistic things start happening and characters do dumb things just to make the ending work, which had me rolling my eyes and regret the two hours I spent on this movie.",5 "Within the first couple of minutes there's a flashback to five years earlier. Audiences just love flash backs, don't they? Oh, wait... they DON'T like flashbacks. Only the self-indulgent, morons who make TV and movies like annoying flashbacks... so we must endure these tiresome vehicles. There's something on the planet which is causing everyone to commit suicide. In this movie, it seems that the worldwide threat of mass suicide causes the entire population to run out into the streets and drive the first car they can find, first! The reliance on stock footage of European street protests is just ridiculous. Finally (and this is where I bowed out of this abomination) the ad-libbed dialogue between the two sisters and even the hospital nurse is so painful to watch, you'll want to put razor blades in your ears. I gave this mess a full fifteen minutes of my life. Don't do the same. Don't be me!",2 "Every year in India 700,000 of students prepare and compete for 5000 odd Spots at the prestigious IIT colleges. Kota factory on TVFplay is a show about a handful of students preparing for the premier entrance exams for those spots through the coaching centre's based in Kota, Rajasthan. Kota factory uncovers most of the problems faced by these students right from the politics behind admissions, placement of batches, living conditions, study materials, quality of teachers, internal politics of the coaching centres, Marketing techniques, teaching methods, freedom, campus fleecing, friendships, student lifestyle and tons of other problems faced by these poor kids. Acting of Jitendra Kumar as jeethu Bhaiya a swashbuckling teacher was outstanding. Most of student's acting were natural and good. The show is shot in black & white, which adds a contour on the dull lives of the students. Direction, editing and cinematography were decent and Songs were top notch. Shooting in the real location has really helped the outlook of the show. A chemistry rant by the lead, Vibhav in episode 3 was simply outstanding. The web series is a much watch for all the Lakhs of students and ex-students who studied in the hundreds of coaching centres in Kota and elsewhere. But it must be duly noted that all work and no play will make students dull and sorry to say that the students of Kota look dull. In my opinion, for a perusal of a better life, a lot of the parents don't hesitate to destroy their kid's lives. The failure and rejection would be too much for the young kids to handle. I wish the makers had brought this up too instead of marketing the Unacademy app in the series.",6 "What is the most famous Australian horror movie of all time? ""The Babadook"", which strangely has a way lower rating on this site. If you compare that film to this one, you will invariably notice that the writing is much tighter. There is nothing excessive or unnecessary. The atmosphere keeps building throughout the entire film. And the suspense of not knowing whether or not you're watching a supernatural event or a psychological breakdown never lets up. ""Talk to me"" starts with an establishing scene that gives away what is going to follow. The embalmed hand of the poster is a poorly made prop compared to the genuinely scary children's book in ""Babadook"". And what I really did not like is the resolution, which combines a psychological and supernatural explanation in a very lazy way. The last shot was completely unnecessary - in horror, less is more. The popularity of what is ultimately an average low budget psycho thriller with an illogical twist must be due to the lack of any solid horror films lately. Better re-watch or discover classics with a similar vein but better execution, like ""The Innocents"" (1961), ""Rosemary's Baby"" (1968), ""Don't look now"" (1973) or ""Jacob's Ladder"" (1990).",6 "Sam Raimi continues the Spiderman Franchise with an even better sequel. The plot is advanced significantly, and the action scenes are breath taking. His excellent blend of drama and humor keeps the viewer's attention from beginning to end. Other comic book adaptations have relied too heavily on special effects. This movie (like the first one) continues to rely on compelling characters and gifted actors. The special effects are great, but they are also relevant to the story. Watching spiderman swing through the city is cool, but nothing captures the imagination as much as Peter Parker and his trials and tribulations. Comics are at their heart soap operas with super powers and spiderman 2 is a perfect example of how well this formula works.",10 As the title says you cant go wrong with stranger tings. A huge traffic builder for Netflix and rightly so,8 "This could've been easily the next Game of Thrones: they've got complex worlds, creatures, characters and magic but they have failed in telling a compelling story. No backstories were told so it was hard to follow. The battle scenes were meaningless because you have no emotional investment to any of the characters. The characters were driven by unknown motives so it was hard to get into those moments. Everything especially the timeline only made sense by the last 2 episodes. To be fair, that was a good twist. It would've been better if they have made it clear at the outset that they were showing different timelines. I thought Henry Cavill didn't give any depth to his character. I still dont know who or what is the witcher and why I should root for him. He just keeps on growling. The only saving grace is Yennifer. She's a great actress with great backstory and interesting storyline. I loved the battle of the mages! And for that, I give this show. 7!",7 "If you liked the first one, you'll love this one. While I enjoyed the first one, it felt a little bit like the Spider-Man Toby Maguire era. Good but not as gritty as other superhero films we've become used to. This one has a bit more to it. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Hardy is great and delivers some superb comedy lines whether as Eddie or Venom. All the characters have proper story lines and fit together nicely. Really enjoyable easy watch.",8 "Most of this annoying film is told from the perspective of someone using a laptop! It's a complete money-making scheme for Apple & Microsoft through endless product placement, and it's complete propaganda for ABC & CNN news. The story and acting were just ""ok"".",5 "At the end of the day I think I actually preferred Glass Onion to Knives Out, keeping in mind I felt the latter is a little overhyped. I have my criticisms of Glass Onion for sure, like how cringily topical it is, and how insanely long it takes to set everything up, but once it all comes together it starts to make perfect sense. My criticisms become less things I would want to change, and more features I understand had to happen to get the points across succinctly enough. Of course there's bounds of humour here as well, and the acting from the ensemble cast is pretty good, although not likely to win any awards. I laud Rian Johnson for once again subverting our expectations after Knives Out and giving us a whole new beast that is nothing like it. I'm curious to see what he manages to do with the third film and whether he can keep it fresh once again. I give Glass Onion the lower end of an 8/10. -Excerpt from QyrosMovies-",8 "I honestly don't get the hype about this or understand why this was Oscar nominated. Sure, it's a pretty space movie with decent cinematography but it's lacking any sort of plot, never mind solid characterization with any sort of depth. I kept waiting for the movie to begin, for something to happen, to be shown anything about these characters that actually made me care. I was still waiting as the credits started to roll. The dialog was predictable, the imagery prosaic and cliché, and the conclusion inevitable. Nothing about this film impressed or surprised me - except how much everyone loved it. I was bored, and bitterly disappointed.",2 "Yeah, So it's 2019. Why does this movie need to be so homophobic and misogynistic? Yes, the main character is pretty anachronistic, but still. The rest of the movie was ok, not as good as the original, of course.",5 "A disaffected American actor making a whisky commercial in Tokyo teams up with a young American guest in his luxury hotel. As the trailer shows this isn't a bad premise for a film but unfortunately the writer/director has NO idea how to structure a narrative or pace a film. There's not one arresting scene, memorable line of dialogue or three-dimensional character in the whole thing. I may be exaggerating but if you took out all the scenes where someone stared moodily out of the window the thing would probably only last 25 minutes. You will take away from this film the amazing knowledge that people in foreign countries a)do things a little differently and b) often don't speak English. Why either a veteran movie star or a Yale philosophy graduate would be fazed by this I don't know but those remaining 25 minutes would pretty much consist of their slack-jawed astonishment at the antics of those crazy Japanese (who--hold the front page--sing karaoke and can't tell their ""Rs"" from their ""Ls""). The most overrated film since ""American Beauty"". My wife had to laugh when she saw there was ""bonus material"" on the DVD. ""Bonus to what? There's no movie on there!""",1 "Review is based on watching first season . I find the current 8.0 rating too high , i would say 6 or lower . My main problem is the heroes are either complete cardboard or not likable , they fail in keeping my intrest . The villains steal the show .

I give 1 star to get the rating down .",1 "(2013) 12 Years A Slave HISTORICAL DRAMA Although there were many films made about the how African Americans used to be treated when slavery was condoned, I don't ever recall seeing a film that was ever based on an actual person before, since movies like ""Roots"", ""Sounder"" and ""Uncle Tom's Cabin"" as well as other films about 'slavery' were classified as novels with some truth with combination of fact and fiction. ""12 Years A Slave"" is probably one of the most accurate portrayals of slavery ever put on film solely because it's from the experiences by a living person. While we all know that slavery actually happened, and that we've always read about it, we had barely saw it happen to an actual person before, for much of it's history is only classified as allegedly circumstantial. Which is the reason why it's the damning crux when it's possible historical events can be altered so that people who inflict these types of crimes can never be charged or held accountable for their actions- American law has always been unjust since it often doesn't favor toward minorities. Adapted by a book ""Twelve Years A Slave"" written by Solomon Northup, directed by Steve McQueen who was synonymous for directing, ""Hunger"", it'd make sense that he'd be the one to be directing this film- he knows what pain feels like from the receiving end. At the opening, and at this point, Solomon Northup, played memorable by Chiwetel Ejiofor has already been captured and sold as a slave, but as he's already in chains lying down in a cargo ship, he's already re-evluating how it all came about since he was initially supposed to be a professional violinist in Washington. And for some reason we're seeing him in chains treated less than human as all the others who're not white. Solomon is not like other African American slaves because he has already received the education he needed as opposed to his counterparts. For if anybody didn't know by now, it was 'once' forbidden for African Americans to receive the same opportunities as their white counterparts. Which is why how some can see the irony whenever we see many African American children 'not' exploiting the education system, and instead chose a life of crime instead. It is the character portrayed in this film as well as many others, many are not being recognized for the sacrifice they had to endure to get to this point- the right to vote as well as an education. As soon as Solomon realizes that it's against the law for African Americans to be ""learning"" he makes some attempts to free himself by doing just that. It's quite an unbelievable journey as he's moved from one plantation to the next. Solomon does get his revenge by writing about this which if the opportunity was available, other people would have done the exact same thing, as a viewer I'm grateful that he did just that.

I'm not one for trolling and making sweeping generalised 'garbage' reviews but in my opinion, this was really bad. I haven't seen it all the way through as it's a slog. Boring, predictable and nothing new. If this didn't have Sandra Bullock in it, it would have tanked. Boring.",4 "Well it's action packed for sure, which is just as well because the few quiet scenes expose the mind-numbingly poor acting. I lost count, to the nearest hundred, of the body count by the end, and similarly, the wrecked vehicles, which you have to tally against what the subject of the film was, hence my comments re the plot. All of that said, if relentless 'chase' and 'shoot-em-ups' are your bag, you'll definitely find the two hours running time to be worth it.",5 "Please. Don't try remaking this film. Cuttputtli is nowhere near this classic thriller. The performance of the cast was stunning. The movie comfortably shifts from a nail-biting thrilling plot to classy moments which have the capabilities to bring out cheers from the audience. The masses love a film with a pounding background music and a little action. But there are also people like me who put the plot and cinematography above in the priority list. And oh boy this film delivers in all forms! Checks all the boxes. I had to deduct two stars because of inaccuracies in the investigative procedures shown in the movie, the plot conveniences and a few cliches, especially during the climax. However, the climax was fantastic to look at and that's what the audience asked for. Overall, a must-watch Tamil film. Especially if you are a fan of Tamil films.",8 Do we get to see something new?

That career is unusual, but, many privileged kids achieve the career they dreamt of doing as a child. I understand this is based on Spielberg's own life, but, how much empathy or interest can the average person have for a middle-class successful upbringing? Yes! There's a divorce & his mother played piano. But! I reiterate, it's the story of a child from a strong economic background with a loving family who achieves his boyhood dream career & that in itself is nothing special. I found it a bit boring.

I tried pushing through but it's poor. Very slow not much action, storyline is weak.",4 The show is very great. But they can do better with the second season,8 "It has to be said that this would have been okay if it wasn't a patronizing fiction about schizophrenia. Sadly, Ron Howard has made a film which is a complete bastardization of the real story of John Nash.

Forget that he actually was quite good with women, having numerous relationships with them, as well as men. Let's even forget that the man was actually divorced from his wife, whilst also being a brilliant scientist with numerous accomplishments, and you might enjoy this film. Of course, that would take away the whole point of it being a 'true story'. Just remember that you are watching make-believe.",2 "This is one of those movies that is somewhat entertaining upon first viewing but is easily forgettable and has nothing of substance to make a second viewing possible to enjoy. The plot is convoluted as we don't know what the main characters are doing or why. In fact, everything we know about the 4 magicians is revealed in the first 10 minutes of the movie and after that there is ZERO character development! The entire movie appears to have been made solely for the sake of the ending and yet it was so cliché that I was actually a little angry about the way they did it. It's unfortunate that in the filmmaker's attempts to be clever they neglected the most fundamental elements of storytelling: plot and character. Like a magic show without magic, you may find yourself somewhat entertained but inevitably wind up disappointed in the end because they left out the most important part of the show.",6 "I can only imagine how much better it could have been had Damon actually done research into Carroll Shelby and what he was really about. Not to mention, Damon is about 1 1/2 feet below the height of Shelby, and his mannerisms are completely off. Also worth noting, there's absolutely no verifiable proof to even remotely suggest Leo Beebe was even close to the villain portrayed here. I understand how protagonists/antagonists work in film, but for sobbing out loud, 'invent' that character, DO NOT drag a good mans name through the mud for the sake of theater.",6 "This was a long and boring film that relied too heavily on looking good without any depth to the story. Frankly the main plot felt more suited to a side story which focused on humans 'calming the natives' to exploit resources, but it actually was more about revenge between the old general from this first Avatar and Jake Sully the rogue soldier. During the film I did start to wonder whether the sky people's (aka humans) military would be happy with pouring this amount of funding into killing one rogue soldier. Honestly I don't think they would, when they can just nuke everyone. The film was as expected filled with over the top sentimentality, but at such a level that I stopped caring about the characters. I also felt the film showed conflicting messages regarding gender. Action scenes showed strong female characters but dialogue re enforces male and female stereotypes of male protector and female carer. The actions scenes were brilliantly constructed but very fast to the point where the 3D visuals couldn't keep up and you ended up just watching a blur which was disappointing. At over 3 hours long narrating a thin plot line I felt the film could easily have been 2 hours without losing anything of value. It was all very indulgent to the creators and at one point I wondered if I was watching an episode of Blue Planet. Honestly, stay at home and watch something else instead. The 3D is nowhere near as good as the first film because its trying too hard. At one point during the film I wondered what it would be like to watch if you suffer from migraines. I fear it would bring one on or at the very least leave you wishing you'd done something else with your time. Cleaning the bins is more preferable, harsh? Yep.",2 "The movie fails to live up to the hype surrounding it. Although it may have garnered a strong following, several glaring issues prevent it from being a truly enjoyable film. One of the major drawbacks of this movie is its excessive use of profanity. While some may find it amusing or fitting within the context, the constant barrage of vulgar language can be off-putting to those who prefer a more refined form of humor. It detracts from the overall enjoyment and limits the potential audience that could appreciate the film. Another issue with Superbad is the lack of a clear point. The plot meanders without a distinct direction, making it difficult to invest in the characters or their stories. It feels as though the writers relied too heavily on crude humor and shock value, rather than developing a cohesive and engaging narrative. Speaking of characters, the two stars of the movie, played by Jonah Hill and Michael Cera, are disappointingly rude and lacking in respect for women. Their constant objectification and derogatory remarks towards female characters are not only distasteful but also perpetuate negative stereotypes. It's disheartening to witness such behavior go unchecked and unpunished within the confines of the story. While Superbad does have its moments of humor and occasional witty dialogue, they are overshadowed by its flaws. The film fails to strike a balance between comedy and substance, leaving the viewer unsatisfied and questioning the purpose of it all. In conclusion, Superbad may have its enthusiastic fans, but it falls short of being a recommended watch. Its excessive profanity, lack of direction, and disrespectful portrayal of women make it a difficult film to fully enjoy. Unfortunately, this comedy misses the mark and fails to deliver a memorable cinematic experience.",4 "Literally. What the heck? Is it the memes that make this so ridiculously overrated? This movie is the worst of all of the repetitive action movies with typical action movie tropes. A dude beats up weak boss and the big boss and movie is over. The chereography is illogical, overrated, cringe. I rather watch Jack Reacher (which came 2 years prior to this with almost the exact same scripts - badass dude beats weak boss and then big boss) 6 times in a row than watch this overrated Keanu Reaves scrawny male being the caricature of a ""Sigma male"" acting tough Pure cringe 3/10.",3 "A great film that shows both the hardship of real life and the beauty of life. Great film and unexpected . I would highly recommend for any viewer , I felt the corny dancing and the meaningful actions made for a great cocktail. I went with a mixed group of different ages and everyone enjoyed the film. Some found it meaningful and some found it comedic and slapstick. The cast was one hundred percent perfect and I can't imagine a different Ken or Barbie. Ryan gosling played his part superbly and you could at times relate to his character and other times laugh at his mid fortune and dance routines. Overall a great film.",9 "About six hours into this Goomba snooze-fest, I hit the button on the AppleTV remote to see I was only HALF WAY THROUGH IT! At first, I refused to watch this because Robert DiNiro was in it. I wish I had stuck with that. This movie meandered endlessly, using real-life events as a backdrop, and presented a bunch of aging, paunchy old men spitting out twenty ""dese"" and ""dose"" per line of forced dialogue, to try and add the wise guy authenticity. The de-aging CGI at the beginning was some of the worst I've ever seen, making the actors look like they were wearing rubber masks. Anyone who's seen Michael Douglas at the beginning of Ant-Man knows that this can be accomplished seamlessly. This reminds me so much of another Scorcese decathlon that everybody but me seemed to love, Casino. The best thing I can say about this movie, is that I didn't have to pay to see it!",2 It has lots of unexpected twists and this is why I liked it. It seems to me that nowadays they make series in which you can foresee the ending too soon and very easily. The pace was a bit slow but if you are into series where you're not sure what happens next or who the killer is then this will be interesting for you.,7 "This movie does what ALOT of movies have tried and failed. To blend extreme bloody violence with hilarious Comedy. And it works, it really does. I couldn't stop laughing. Ryan Reynolds is my New idol.",7 "As the title says amazinglytrue to the lore of the Witcher universe. I did have my concerns when I learned that ""Superman"" Cavill was going to play the Witcher, but I've seldom seen such love and devotion to a role and universe, so my corcerns was quickly kicked to the corner. Cavill is the embodiment of Gerald of Rivia in every single moment of every episode",9 "Im a quite big fan of the fantasy genere so I was excited when I found this. I must say that I didnt know about the books or videogames before and their huge fan base and that explains the 9+ stars rating... or not. The show is bad. Bad acting, bad scripts, bad effects, bad everything... and incredible boring. I gave it a 4 episodes try based on the rating of the show here... but I can't no more. Now I really want to read the books, to check if the story is good. Because if it is I cant understsnd the Fan hype on this bad show.",4 "I think it was pretty fine. Although it was a step down from the first one but it wasn't bad. The visual was awesome, the soundtracks were okay but the story wasn't live up to my expectation.",7 "This Film has to be watch by The whole India and the World. Everyone has gone through these days. After Watching This Film, everyone will come to know how Slum People Survive their Life for Living. Even the Structure of Government has been shown Shortly, Nagraj Manjule Anna has Made this Film beyond Excellence. And Legendary Actor Amitabh Bachchan has proven he can do any Role. He was just Breathtaking. Full Paisa Wasoool movie. Everyone Performed Authentic.",10 "OK, I wrote a fairly negative review about Captain America: The First Avenger and it was based really on the feel of the movie. It was so cheesy, so over-done with CGI that you thought you were watching a computer program....and you really were. That is EXACTLY what you were watching. I'm glad to say that Winter Soldier comes back with a vengeance. In fact it is the polar opposite of The First Avenger. This time when Cap gets in a fight it actually looks like he got into a fight. It looks like he's fighting people and not the green screen. Car chase, that looks real too, shoot out looks real, the Falcon flying looks real. The First Avenger suffered from Star Wars Prequel syndrome The Winter Soldier suffers from nothing. Finally Chris Evans owns Captain America. He won that role with this film and all doubts about his performance is cast away. It's refreshing because of the worry he caused in the first film. The plot is fantastic, the introduction of Falcon was great. Anthony Mackie does a great job as the Falcon, out shining every other side-kick in the MCU. In fact, he's so good, you kind of want him to drop the side-kick role and get his own film. He can carry it. Scarlett Johansson, that was a bit of a problem...she looked orange. It almost maybe gave you the impression that make-up was trying to give her a Donald Trump look. Orange Scarlett was sort of distracting, but in Winter Soldier she had more screen time than almost any other film and she too owned the part. Sure, Natasha doesn't have any super powers but she took Buffy the Vampire Slayer's title of most beat down rough and tumble kick-butt female lead. It's not only a stellar addition to the MCU, but it raises the bar for anything to follow and can stand alone as a great spy movie.",10 "Worth watching.. the movie will leave a long lasting effect... All the actors did really great. Big B is fantastic as always. Story telling, cinematography, BGM all are superb..",10 "Sacred Games seemed more interested in conveying a vibe than it did in telling a story. This show felt like it was trying to be a Robert Langdon tale by Dan Brown, with the grittiness of Narcos..accomplishing the latter more than it did the former. The plot of the show is oriented around Gaitonde warning Sartaj that Mumbai is doomed in 25 days, but never makes it clear how Mumbai is doomed. Sartaj and Anjali chase different leads, episode after episode. Neither of them get anywhere though. They just meet different characters from Gaitonde's past who affirm that something terrible will indeed happen to Mumbai...without shedding any light on what the terrible thing actually is. Now and then, there's some backstory given to Sartaj, Anjali, and Zoya. The backstories don't seem to go anywhere though. Sartaj wants to be a good cop, but he struggles to be one. Anjali wants to prove that she could be a field agent and she could eventually find her Dad. Zoya wants to move past her past and move up in her career. We learn all this information, but it doesn't really take us anywhere in Season 1. Gaitonde's timeline in the 80s and 90s is much more interesting to watch than Sartaj's. I didn't understand the point of it though. Gaitonde climbs the ranks of Mumbai's crime scene. He doesn't want to get involved religious disputes, but ultimately does because his adversary stands with the Muslim community. This show is fun to watch, but it's just like...where is it going? Watching it feels like reading the journal entries of a random criminal and police officer.",7 "I'll try to make this as short and painless as possible. Lately there have been a run of films exploring the nature of reality. But compared to THE MATRIX series, or say DARK CITY, this film can't hold a mental candle. Maybe it's because of the Christopher Nolan-DiCaprio combo, maybe because of a few very cool visual effects (like a city turned sideways or upside-down), but for the life of me I can' understand why this film is rated a 9 on IMDb. I guess this is what happens when everyone gets to rate, and ""everyone"" means...well, average film knowledge...and prejudice. Where is the OBJECTIVITY, people? The problems, you ask, as if you don't want to take my word for it? Well it put my son to sleep and darned near got me, for one. It's too long and moves too slowly, then suddenly heaps plot setups and twists on you in desperate attempt to try and make the convoluted thing make sense. Where I come from we call this bad timing. And in a film LIKE this, well, that's not a good thing. The script is terrible. Even Leonardo's acting is not up to his usual par, the little girl cast as the architect was too wrong, and on the whole this film is just not believable. That some actually say this is Leonardo's best work is troubling to me on so many levels. Just because you make a bus fall off a bridge in slow motion shouldn't give you Oscar mentionings, you would think. Terrible waste of millions, I gotta say, I being an admirer of both the genre and Leonardo. But, again, don't take my word for it; watch it for free somehow (don't spend hard-earned money on this dog, for sure), then let me know where I have gone wrong. I give it a 5 only because of the effects I mentioned (not unique in film, but well-done) and the A-1 supporting performance by Joe Levitt. HE did what he could, after all.",5 "I didn't see the hype of this. Only a couple of chuckles... outside of the nostalgic feeling of seeing and hearing Ke Huy Quan and James Hong the rest of the movie was a waste of time. The acting was good and the characters were ok, but the story line was convoluted and boring. I did enjoy all the outfits Joy wrote during the movie. But the true highlight of the movie was when it ended. I've would just skip it so together. Maybe it's just not my type of movie, but if the Daniel's direct another movie I think I will skip it too. Nor sure yet, but this one definitely made me skeptical of seeing another.",3 "What in the world?? This movie was junk. Based on the reviews, I thought this movie would rock. But, in fact, it just belongs UNDER a rock. The cinematography was nice, as I loved the shots of Tokyo and the rest of Japan. You do indeed feel you're in the country. There were some comic parts relating to the communication (or lack thereof) between the American and Japanese characters. Murray and the cute Scarlett were good in the movie, but there was no plot. In fact, the movie was hard to follow. What exactly was going on? I, myself a post-graduate psychology student, was unaware of what kind of relationship these people actually had going. I just saw no substance in the film and didn't see the connection between the characters that some others 'claim' to have seen. Sophia just got her movie hyped because of her family history apparently, because this movie was a total bore!! I was severely disappointed.",5 "Absolutely incredible show, you know when the only criticism is to do with the fact they touch on race! It's a shame that the ignorance is that as soon as you mention race even just a little bit, it undoes everything. The show manages to tackle personal issues for Sam and Bucky (white co-lead) to equal effect. Their character and world development is fantastic Wyatt Russell'a John Walker was another fantastic character (also white) amazingly played and written. Only flaw was Karli being undeveloped! 9/10 - Absolutely fantastic.",9 Can't understand the good reviews but here's my review........ boring.,3 "Seen plenty similar stories. Found it boring !! Why Bollywood can't come up with original and some new anymore ?? Nothing more comment..just got bored and could not even finish..",3 "I know this is adapted from a very good novel. I also kind of get the idea the movie wants to convey to me. But it is really so bad that I kept checking how much time before it ends during my watching. The story and characters are not depicted in a convincing way. It is like watching people presenting slides about the old New York and rich people in the last century. I kind of hoped it tells a complete and fascinating story instead of keeping telling me what I should feel. Apart from the extremely poor story telling, I think the actors/actresses are doing a good job. That is, they convinced me that their characters could be real and so are their struggles. But the whole story is not told in a good and coherent way.",3 "Don't see why any grown would be impressed by ""boogyman"".",4 "Wonderful movie, reminded me a lot of Forrest Gump and all the amazing story that unfolds as we watch. If I can have anything bad to say about this movie that I loved is that it portraits one form of autism without explaining much about it, since I watched it before ever knowing what a person with autism has I thought everybody with autism would have the same characteristics of behaviour as Khan. I was wrong. But great movie nonetheless.",8 "wow. *no spoilers* this film was good but also difficult to face at times. it started off slightly disjointed but after a while you understand why and begin to really appreciate the way it works. I like art house films, but this seems to go further than i expected. -not in a bad way, or good. the concept of erasing an ex lover (and all memories of them) might be appealing to some people and the way its made lets you relate to the whole story, you relate to the pain of breaking up too (if you've been there especially!) it was distressing at times because of all the emotions that are thrown at you, but overall it works well. it had left me feeling a little cold, but appreciating the story.",7 "This is far beyond expectations ... the fight scenes are so perfect, like no other show ... this is how sword fightings should look like. great characters, great music. just enjoy this masterpiece ladies and gentlemen",1 "Sacred Games will create history and will be remembered as EPIC. Too much of thrill, suspense and crime. Nawaz and Saif are on top of their game. Looks like director got what they wanted from all characters.",9 "This is not the MCU I used to love. Who made this TV show have serious problems. It s not fun at all worst MCU product i ever see.",1 "I looked forward to being entertained by some well written screen play with a quality cast. But .......I soon realised episode 1 was not funny, not clever , not entertaining or even hooked in anyway. But hope was held onto that episode 2 would be better....but I was left thinking that I had been in a time machine and missed the 80's, 90's ,oo's etc.....it's probably the worst mcu I have seen. I feel for the cast as I'm sure they have been contracted before they read the script to do this. So sorry ! It's so so poor . It's not clever at all. Anyone that thinks it is please stop taking the ketamine",1 "Honestly Plot is weak and sometimes off track. But it was expected for a digital platform. I think makers didn't research much, bad presentation of Dhaka. But Actions are really really great, great direction, good screenplay, good casting. Once again Chris Hemsworth proved that he is a true action star. Overall its a good action packed movie. I would recommend.",7 "Chernobyl does a great job of bringing the history of a disaster to life in a very authentic way. Having already read a nonfiction book about the disaster, after the first couple episodes I wasn't sure if the story would be anything more than a realistic telling of the events, but the finale is impeccably done and makes the show great. This is a story of how the Soviet state was massively flawed, and it drives that point home very clearly, but it's also a story of how humans can be naturally blind to the flaws of their designs, and that's a much more difficult idea to explain. I have always found explorations of the effects deception and lies have on a grand scale to be fascinating questions, so I loved that Chernobyl tackled them in an intelligent way by investigating an important real world event. The science and history is all completely accurate and very accessible, and the acting and writing is very strong. It is interesting and surprising to me that it's so broadly beloved - it has great technical elements and is a compelling overarching message, but it is essentially just an authentic dramatization of a recent disaster. The finale is explosive (ha), but the other four episodes are largely build up and can retread the same ideas a bit, which made me wonder if Chernobyl would have been better as a long movie. In any event, I was dubious that Chernobyl would live up to the hype but I leave very glad I watched it and happy that such an interesting and important true story resonated with so many viewers.",8 "Spiderman is one of my favorite characters. Even though people prefer Andrew Garfield's Spiderman, But for me Tobey Maguire is Spiderman; Nobody can replace him and I mean Nobody. I think Spiderman is the most likable character for kids. Like The Dark Knight Rises this movie also focuses more on Peter Parker, It makes the character more human. It's a very enjoyable movie. All the actors did their job, I think they were great. According to me this is both Sam Raimi's and Tobey Maguire's best works. This movie is so enjoyable, Everyone can enjoy it, people of all ages would love it. This is a kind of movie, that makes you feel like a kid again.",7 Fast forwarded most of the scenes and still could predict the ending.,4 MY NAME IS KHAN THE NAME IS ENOUGH There is no words to describe Please Do watch,10 "When I heard that Marvel was being bought by Disney, I was kind of nervous. I thought that Disney was going to change Marvel and make it a lot worse than it was before. I was wrong. Having Disney ""own"" Marvel just turned out to be a great decision. The Marvel Cinematic Universe just got better. Iron Man 3, and Thor: The Dark World was amazing. And then I heard that they were going to make a Captain America movie that followed the events of The Avengers. I would say that Captain America: The First Avenger was a good film but it wasn't a great one. I am actually a Captain America fan. So I was looking forward to Captain America: The Winter Soldier.. The Marvel Cinematic Universe just got better. I mean that Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a huge improvement on Captain America: The First Avenger. What Anthony Russo and Joe Russo did was very revolutionary to me. They were unexpectedly clever in making a great and descent film. I was very excited when I heard that they were going to direct Captain America: Civil War. The cast was perfect. Chris Evans was the one that stole every scene he was in. Scarlett Johansson and the rest of the cast were good too. The story is what caught me. It was revolutionary and one of my favorite scripts of Marvel. The action scenes were very amusing as well. The theme was very different than the other Marvel movies which is what made it enjoyable. Overall, an amazing, action-packed thriller with a lot of fun. I recommend it.",10 "This show focuses on the burden teenagers carry in their hearts each day. Making mistakes is in all our genes considering how our ancestors lived before civilizations were created. Teenage period especially has challenges of its own kind. The show is NOT meant for anyone already going through mental trouble, especially the last episode. It teaches a lesson to bullies and the usual teenagers who do nothing to fight bullying. The actors did a very good work on the portraying the reality. But, unlike season 1, the dialogues and the transition of scenes were abrupt. Some scenes were stretched far too much. Clay's conversation with Hannah was a bit over the limits. The show did not address the hallucinations anywhere on the show. I am pretty sure the directors are doing a season 3 with how the last episode was made. The last episode was a mental shock for me. The story stresses upon the reality of the most affected. Like - This is how the worst school looks like. Eminem is a survivor of really bad bullying. Overall a GOOD show except for the scene transitions and too much hallucinatory conversations between clay and Hannah, which were harsh. 8/10 for season 2.",9 "Style over Substance might be a Knee-Jerk Negative Reaction to this Messy Film. But that would be Kind. There is no Style or Substance to Waste many Brain-Cells Considering. The Movie's Conceit is to make You want to Think. Think Not. It tries so Very Hard with its Explanations about Dreams (don't do a drinking game taking a shot every time the word dream is mentioned, you will be dead by intermission). Also Wordy, Incomprehensible Insertions about the Teams ""Method"" used here to Infiltrate and Control the Minds of Corporate Clients (now there is a group we can morally support). This is so Unnecessarily Complicated that it causes Viewer Fatigue, and by Proximation Sleepiness, early on and Waking Up or Recovering from that is not a Given. The Result is just not Caring about Anyone or Anything that is happening on the Screen. What is happening is kind of Drab and Dull for a Dreamscape. If you buy the Premise and go along for the Ride, better fasten your Seat-Belts because it is anything but Smooth. It Bumps and Jumps from Dream to Dream and Layer upon Layer of Intellectual Gobbledygook that is so Very Uninteresting and Without much Pathos. The Music is forever in Swelling Mode and Ripples throughout and is Pretentious and Intrusive. In the End, some have trouble making it that far, there is a ""you decide"" Twist that is not really a Twist because, after all, You Decide. But it is hardly Worth it and when all is Said and Done, too much has been Said and not enough has been Done. Vastly Overrated.",4 "I found this to be an interesting and well made series. Sure, there's plenty to nitpick about it's themes and concepts, and in this regard, it doesn't bring anything wholly new to the table. But what it does it does well. If you are familiar with Garland's previous works, you'll recognize his signature in this. Interestingly enough I also found elements of David Lynch in this, mainly in atmosphere and delivery of dialogue. The visuals are excellent, with gorgeous shots and impressive visual effects. If you love fractals, this show has some visual treats for you. What is also has are amazing shots of landscapes, both urban and natural. The entire show is filmed in a way that evokes something transcendent, impressing upon the viewer a sense of temporality. The themes, writing and execution of dialogue enforce this. The acting ranges from good to outstanding, with especially great performances from Nick Offerman, Alison Pill and Stephen McKinley Henderson. Some found Sonoya Mizuno's acting bothersome, I didn't, and think she carried the show well. Jefferson Hall was also great as Pete, I recognized a lot of his mannerisms from homeless people I know or see daily where I live. Jin Ha is very charismatic as Jamie and a pleasure to watch. Zach Grenier as Kenton also deserves mention as he gives a very good performance here, though I did find his character a little annoying by the end. But that had more to do with the writing than his performance, which was excellent throughout. The story itself is focused and tight, with little meandering. The plot unfolds naturally over its eight episodes and is written in such a way that there's no filler, and nothing feels unessential. It has enough twists to keep you guessing, you can't help but make assumptions about where this is going, especially if you've seen stuff like this before or are familiar with the material it discusses. And you're wrong enough times to keep it engaging. I didn't always connect with the way the show writes its characters and how they interact with each other. But overall, it worked for me. Strong acting all around helps in keeping you with the flow of the story where logic might make you hesitate. On a final note: I absolutely loved the spoken poem scene in episode 7, McKinley Henderson's voice is perfect for this and I'd buy an audiobook's worth of him just reading great poetry. For me it was the best scene of the series. Watch if you like Alex Garland's previous work, existential themes in film/tv, great visuals and conceptual science-fiction. Or just good tv, which i think this is.",8 "Not sure why all these reviews keep comparing it to the 60s show or the 90s movie. Sure they may of been good at the time but go back and watch them again, at best they will be cringe worthy, at worst completely awful and ancient history. This should be viewed as it is, a completely new show. The show itself starts slow but it gets better, the dynamic between will and the robot is great. Dr. Smith is a character you love to hate which is a good thing given she is the bad guy. Overall i thought the acting was pretty good and it came to an ending of the season that sets it up to have a potentially awesome second season. As for this 'PC' stuff people keep mentioning in reviews, frankly i do not get what they are talking about, people love to read more into shows just to find something to whine about. Its supposed to be entertaining, it is. Go see a therapist. Well thats my reviews, enjoy lost in space and lets hope it gets a season 2!",7 "And the Oscar goes to ... all the talk show hosts who say, so convincingly, that they loved the movie. The ONLY thing that carries this movie is the action that is pretty well done. Other than that - the performances are unbearable and the plot is ... well, I am not even sure there is was a plot. Tom Cruise has no lines - the only arch in his character is that he is sorry. He is sorry in English, in broken French, with painful facial expressions, grunt and sighs and so on. That is the only emotion his character communicates. This movie is just as awkward and barely held together as the press tour with its main actors. How can this editing and writing disaster have a 86 metacritic score is beyond me.",2 "Well, firstly, let me say the only resemblance to the first series is the title. The characters are very hard to warm to, and the general pace of the series is very slow. The original series there was humour, and there is NONE is this adaptation unfortunately. Very disappointing. I am up to episode 5, but not sure how many more I will stick with.",3 "Review: I was so disappointed with this movie, which is a shame because it would have been half decent if Shazam! wasn't a blithering idiot. I didn't understand how Billy Batson, who is the human version of Shazam, acted more like an adult compared to the grown superhero. On top of that, the humour was awful and the storyline went from bad to worse. The evil side of the plot would have worked if the evil Dr. Thaddeus wasn't fighting against a pathetic imbecile, who just would've shut up. I also wasn't that impressed with the CGI, which didn't seem to suit the tone of the film, and none of the cast seemed that shocked with the all of the mysterious happenings that were going on in Philadelphia. Basically, it was a waste of time and money in my eyes, and I couldn't wait for it to end. The film kicks off in 1974 in Upstate New York, was a young Thaddeus Sivana is arguing with his father and older brother, Sid, during a car trip. Thaddeus is transported to the Rock of Eternity, a magical temple hidden in another dimension. He meets the Ancient Wizard, Shazam, last of the Council of Wizards, who has spent centuries searching for a new champion who is ""pure of heart"" after the previous champion, driven by revenge, released the Seven Deadly Sins upon the world, which killed the other Wizards. He then decides to test Thaddeus by telling him to touch the Eye of Sin. Thaddeus is easily tempted by the Sins entrapped in their statues to free them by taking the Eye. After being prevented from doing so by Shazam, he deemed unworthy by the Ancient Wizard. Upon returning to Earth, the confused Thaddeus makes a scene, causing the car to crash and cripple his father, with Sid blaming him. Back at the Rock Of Eternity, Shazam tries again to find another worthy person by casting a Seeking Spell. In present-day Philadelphia, foster child Billy Batson runs afoul of the law, while searching for his birth mother and is placed in a group home run by Victor and Rosa Vasquez with five other foster children, Mary, Pedro, Eugene, Darla and superhero enthusiast Freddy Freeman. Meanwhile, an embittered adult Sivana discovers a way to return to the Rock of Eternity and steals the eye of Sin, becoming the Sins vessel and besting the Wizard. He returns to Earth accompanied by the Sins, confronting and killing his father and Sid along with Sivana industries board of directors. At School, billy saves Freddy from bullies and is chased into a subway, where he is transported to the Rock of Eternity as Shazam summoned Billy to be the champion. By calling Shazam's name, Billy is transformed into an adult superhero, and the wizard turns to dust, leaving his staff behind. At home, Freddy is taken into Billy's confidence and helps Billy explore his newfound powers: electricity manipulation, near-invulnerability, super strength, speed and flight. Freddy's YouTube videos of Shazam testing his powers become viral, and Billy begins skipping school to use his powers as Shazam for money and fame. Seeing Shazam save a bus on the news, Sivana challenges and easily defeats him, demanding he surrender his powers, but Shazam transforms back into Billy and escapes into a crowd. From the news, Sivana deduces Billy's identity and abducts Freddy to find Billy. At the Vasquez home, the other children also infer Billy's secret and tell him they have also found his mother, who lives nearby. Billy reunites with his mother but is disheartened to discover she had abandoned him on purpose, feeling unqualified as a single teenage mother. Billy returns the compass she gave him as a toddler and leaves, telling her he needs to return to his ""real family"". Sivana calls Billy, having taken his foster siblings hostage, so Billy as Shazam agrees to give Sivana his powers in exchange for his family's safety. In agreement, Sivana and Shazam travel to the Rock of Eternity where Sivana takes the wizard's staff, but the siblings follow and attack Sivana. From their attack, Shazam realises that Sivana loses his powers when all seven Sins leave his body. Sivana pursues Shazam and his siblings to a winter carnival, unleashing the Sins upon the crowd. As Wrath battles Shazam, the other Sins capture his siblings, demanding his powers. Will Shazam save the day against the evil Sivana? You have to watch the film to find out! Personally, I think the director made a simple film over-complicated, which is why it's over 2 hours long. One of the most annoying things about the movie is that it takes a long time for Shazam to come to terms with his newfound powers, and by the end of the movie, he's still not taking anything seriously, so it's obvious that they plan to make a sequel. God forbid! I will give the movie a couple of stars, mainly because of Mark Strong's performance and some of the epic action films, but apart from that, I thought that it was badly written, and it seemed to go round in circles. I think you can tell that I wasn't entertained at all, so I can't recommend it to anyone, but I'm sure there are people who enjoyed it because it did make a slight profit at the box office. Disappointed! Round-Up: This movie was directed by David F. Sandberg, who also brought you Lights Out in 2016 and Annabelle: Creation in 2017. He's known for his horror shorts, and with only 2 major releases behind him, I'm not sure that he was the perfect director for this project. After watching the bonus material on the Blu-ray, you can tell that David was overwhelmed with the budget, and the whole scale of the film, so it seems like he concentrated on the vision more than the script. With that aside, the movie did make a profit, so he must be pleased with his first high budget film, but I personally could tell that it was made by an unestablished director. There are so many question marks over some of the scenes, which were so far-fetched, and he really let Zachery Levi run wild. It's rumoured that there will be a sequel in 2022 with the same director and Zachery in the lead again, so I hope that David has learnt from this experience, and listened to the critics, to produce something special for the DC franchise. Budget: $100million Worldwide Gross: $364.5million Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy Cast: Zachery Levi, Mark Strong, Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Adam Brody, Djimon Hounsou, Faithe Herman, Meagan Good, Grace Fulton, Michelle Borth and John Glover. 3/10",3 "It's great to see a movie made by people who remember what it was like going to saturday morning pictures, where our parents would leave us at the door and in we went with a few hundred others to let rip, and boo, hiss and cheer. Pirates brings all that back, with the writing, action, effects and great perfomances by all bar the still not good keira, she does try but does not quite make it. she was crap in beckham, and is not the great beauty she and some others think she is. Anyway the film was great fun and as everyone has picked up on Johnny Depp shows how good he is as an actor and what a great sense of humour he has. Keith Richards should be proud as he is now immortalised on celluloid.",6 "is not even a interesting gay love history (as it could be broke back mountain), poor acting, poor history, one of those movies where you are expecting something good to happen, until you see the final credits and you realize that you wasted 2 hours of your life. I really don't get the criteria that the academy used to rate this movie......",2 "It has a great story, and I expected it to be really enjoyable but when the characters keep making the same stupid easily avoidable mistakes, over and over and over again. It just gets annoying. Had to stop though season 2",4 "It's got the Golden Globes and it's got the Oscar nominations so it can't be that good, right? The tendency I have is, frankly, to be very sceptical about this kind of award-winning film because the Oscars tend to be little more than a popularity contest. And if you look at a list of the big Oscar winners of the last decade(s) you'll see it hardly ever is the year's best movie getting the Best Film award (see for example American Beauty beating the likes of Magnolia and The Insider while Fight Club wasn't even nominated). Usually the awards are given to some babyboom-appealing toothless film about triumph over adversity with massive studio backing. Well, when you read A Beautiful Mind's tagline, you pretty much get the idea it's purely aimed at forking in the Golden Baldies. So, is it as good as the award ceremonies would have you believe or it as bad as I thought it would be? The answer is: it's neither. There's a lot wrong with this, A LOT. I haven't read the book either (although the film's, uhm, 'cinematic' portrayal of Nash has brought reading it to my interest - when I get around to it, I'll read it) so there might be more wrong with it. What I do know, is that a lot of Nash's unpleasant sides have been left out of the film. We get the paranoid schizophrenia but his personal relationships (apparantly, Nash divorced his wife, only to remarry her forty years later) are sometimes skipped, as well as his bisexuality (this could have been about a bisexual genuis schizophrenic? - I would have been SO there). The point is, although the filmmakers, for some (cowardly?) reason leave out his bisexuality but do decide to insert a car chase (of all things). A Beautiful Mind is a crossover movie somewhere halfway a thriller and halfway a drama. Had they made it a mere drama by enriching the relationships in the film (the one between Nash and his wife is far too one-dimensional) I might have bought it. Had they made it a full-blown conspiracy/ schizophrenia thriller, I might have bought it. I don't buy the mixture perse. The thriller elements seem thrown in for audience entertainment alone and the human drama, under the decidly lightweight direction of Ron Howard, doesn't hit home hard enough. Plus, anyone (especially anyone who's seen one particular movie mentioned in this comment) will see the big twist coming and the movie drags toward the end. And one question continues to bug me today: did Nash, a brilliant man, really give that schmaltzy speech at the Nobel prize ceremony (if you know, please email me)? Russell Crowe's performance is one that's there to please the Oscar audience. He's a genuis schizophrenic and Crowe does almost everything a role like Nash's requires. Every little gesture is there, the accent is near-flawless and he even acts well while in heavy layers of make-up. It is a fairly self-conscious performance, on the other hand, aimed directly at nabbing the awards. Give Denzel the Oscar. No, the real deal is delivered by Jennifer Connely, possibly Hollywood's most underrated actress. Anyone having a role as cliched as hers and anyone having to deliver those horrible lines and inject some real human emotion into it, really does deserve an Oscar. Ed Harris is good, but has an even more thankless role. Paul Bettany is great fun and injects some much-needed spirit into a film about, frankly, a bloody rude man. The strange thing is, even though it's a straight and simple story about a brilliant man coming to terms with his environment and, far more importantly, himself, I didn't dislike it at all. I can break it down like any other Oscar-friendly far-too-feelgooder, but in the end I did care for the film's version of John Nash and his wife. I thought the scientific concepts were adequately handled (it's not trying to be a history lesson, and not a maths course either) and you can't go wrong with a cinematographer like Roger Deakins. All in all, the movie may be a mess of historical trivia on Nash's life and some narrative trickery more suited to a more surreal film, but it is entertaining. So, please, give the awards to some really good films and accept this film for what it is: average. Rating: 6/10",6 "The story is just really great, set in the 1980s in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. The best season 1 and 2 were amazing is 2016 a long time ago wow. ""Stranger Things"" is a must watch series!",9 "Normally the hero has to start from square one in order to gain more power to achieve their objectives while being full of energy and well, One Punch Man's premise is just the opposite. This cliche-break makes the anime really interesting, in season 1 the animation is very good, the characters are very interesting, the anime is funny and there are so many captivating sub plots that every episode is fun and rewarding in its own way. However, in season 2 the animation got worse, the storyline got super slow and the anime sort of ""lost a bit of life"" in my opinion. I don't know what happened, I just know it's not as funny, there are many boring sequences, some texture and sound effects lost quality. I really love this anime, I think it deserves more. I hope the upcoming seasons will recover the quality season 1 has.",7 "The first half of the film is OK, the second half one of the most tedious experiences imaginable. Quite possibly the most overrated movie of all time. ""Pulp Fiction"" was robbed for ""Best Picture."" This is one of those films that people feel required to love because the main character is ""slow.""",3 But season 2 is bad especially the last episode of the series,6 If you like spies and suspense then this is a great film to watch.,10 Please save your time and money. Don't watch this movie. not scary nothing. One of the worst horror movie. No suspense No thriller Silly Childish No horror No story No content Bad ending Only has some jump scares.,1 "Love QT but this is self-indulgent garbage! 2 hours 30 minutes of of the most boring film I have ever seen. The acting is great but has zero plot. It would have been better if it had actually had bad acting and I could have laughed at the actors. Ultimately a boring pointless movie that is not improved by the 5 to 10 minutes of fantasy violence near the end. If you are expecting a typical QT movie, stay away.",2 "Without exaggeration, this is one of the greatest television series of all time. Other writers and directors should take notes. A few major high points: Every character is rich, many undergoing incredible, complex character arcs, while others simply briefly add to the world. The pacing is exquisite. Occasional filler episodes break up the steady march of the overarching plot, but they are some of the best episodes in the series (""Tales of Ba Sing Se"" and ""Ember Island Players"" come to mind). The world building is unparalleled. Inspired by real world cultures and mythologies, yet with enough original content to be completely unique, you constantly want to see and know more of it. The writing as a whole is pristine. Overall it gives a strong impression that the writers always knew exactly where they were going. Old plot points resurface in clever ways throughout the series, twists are surprising but feel right, and I can't think of a single thread left untied at the end. Basically, nothing could be improved about this show, and it's such a perfect story package that I hardly even wish there was more of it. (I'll just rewatch it a 5th time.)",10 "I personally describe myself to be a kinda stone or u can say very emotionless! But honestly, even i by myself couldn't count about number of times I have smiled & about the number of times my hairs got wrinkled by it's heart buying content...",10 "Because of the cast we expected so much more of this movie. Actually, the cast played their parts well and it was an interesting storyline, but there were major deficiencies. The script and direction made the movie difficult to follow. It was choppy and didn't move smoothly. It wasn't until we were more than halfway through the movie that I realized the story was based on life events that took place in the 60's (which I was a college student). I don't recommend this movie.",3 "'Whiplash' makes for uneasy and disturbing viewing: We have a film about a young and talented musician ( Miles Teller ) whose desire to reach the top of his potential, will be exploited by a sadistic teacher and leader of a college jazz orchestra, ( played by JK Simmons ). There is no fun in this film at all, and I am alarmed by its popularity. The film Whiplash cuts its mark from the very expressive title of its namesake, but it should really be about the beautiful assembly of an orchestra that will struggle and strive to make great music: The film is not like this at all: It is solely about exploitation in the hands of a diabolical monster in which he pursues his own egoistical fantasy in a devils desire to achieve perfection. In his own way, there seems to be no limit of what can be achieved - in my mind, it is madness? It is very sad to have a wonderful story of music to be exploited in this way. It is a corrosive abuse to exploit the audience in this style of punk filming: The film breaks all channels of continuity without good reason. With regard to the films reference to Charlie Parker -he was great musician - but his life was tragically fused and driven by drugs: he died relatively young from his abuse of drug taking - and the doctor at the coroner's inquest remarked that he mistakenly thought he was an old man on examining him initially? Although there is sharp and brilliant exchange of dialogue coming from the orchestral leader - and we might think he is a brilliant teacher of genius mind -but the level of exploitation and abuse exceeds to bad taste. It is also insulting to expect the audience to believe that a young student would sacrifice a darling romance to lose his girlfriend for the sake of dedicating his music practice to the point of oblivion? Hash words for those who loved the film -but this is my point of view of an intolerable teacher who belittles the value and benefits of music. The film may invigorate for some, but not for me if you don't mind? Yes, although the film electrifies intensity in this manner of fear and highbrow bulling -and I do applaud great acting all round....it never stops, and then seems to end on an easy, high notation from a lazy script as if everything was alright in the first place. The film would have benefited so much better if the story were treated as a spoof with light humour, with the teacher as a crank: It is totally unnecessary in its portrayal of exploitation of viciousness. I was not having a bad day - just experiencing a nightmare from the film that I will never watch again! Directed by Damien Chazelle.... ( 'La La Land' )",4 "THIS IS THE WORST WIZARD MOVIE EVER, THE STORY DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE, IT JUMPS IN AND OUT OF REFERENCING HARRY POTTER AND JK NEEDS TO MAKE UP HER MIND WHICH MOVIE SHE WANTS TO MAKE. U CAN'T ADD A NEW BROTHER FROM THE PAST AS A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE MOVIE AND HIM NOT EVEN BE MENTIONED IN ANY HARRY POTTER BOOKS/MOVIES EVEN THE DEAD SISTER WAS MENTIONED????????? anyways this movie blows, long live harry potter that shiz was great",1 "It started off alright then just went down hill, few funny bits but mostly plain and boring, Netflix got it very wrong.",3 "This has got to be the most overrated movie of the summer. Not that it's a bad movie, but the critics just seem to be hailing it as the best comic book movie of all time, and quite frankly, it isn't. This movie is like the LA Lakers, and the Shaq and Kobe are Doc Ock and his Arms. The third major force, Phil Jackson, is like J. Jonah Jameson. Without these three, this would be a terrible movie. It brings nothing new to the table, with the exception of Doc Ock. I kept trying to remember awesome scenes from it that DON'T involve Doc Ock, and there aren't any. There isn't enough of him, though. The rest of the movie is a rehash of all the themes touched on in the first one. A movie about the tough decisions of Peter Parker: whether he can exist as both Peter and Spiderman, the pitfalls of being a hero the world underappreciates, and the bitter truth that he can never have Mary Jane, lest his foes harm her. I liked this movie better the first time I saw it, when it was called Spiderman 1. Roger Ebert slammed Shrek 2 for ""saying nothing original."" Apparently by the time he wrote his 4 star review for Spidey, he lost interest in the importance of novelty. How many times do we have to watch Tobey Maguire gazing into a mirror as if yet another Uncle has died? How many times do we have to watch MJ react to petty accidents as if her life has been destroyed? How many times must we hear the same old sappy Heroes and Virtue monologue from the old woman? I put up with it the first time, but it got too old. With Doc Ock the movie is good. Not great. Not even as good as the first. But you have to have meat, and without Ock, this movie is the most boring rehash comic book movie I've ever seen. 6/10",6 "It seems strange that the main protagonist of the show only appears in 30%-60% of an episode. There are however plenty of female heroins taking up the majority of screen time. 4 episodes in and you will already meet a handful of queens and princesses that not only fight in battles (on the front lines), but are the hero's of them because they are the most feared warriors within their armies.... Putting that aside, this is a fun B-level show with relatively good action and effects. The acting however is a little uneven and wooden at times but mainly decent to good. Henry Cavill looks and plays the part well but he is clearly being held back by the direction of the show. Which leads to the biggest weakness, the writing. Most things are poorly set up as are the characters themselves. The banter is at best dull when it's not being nonsensical. This lack of development leaves the viewer not really caring for anyone within a convoluted mess of story arcs. If you are not familiar with the source material you will be left clueless as to who the players are, their motives and the world they are living in. It's as if we are joining the series half way through it. I still enjoy it for what it is though, it's a guilty pleasure in the same vain as Kevin Sorbo's Hercules and Tia Carrere's Relic Hunter. Empty calories not to be taken seriously.",4 "It's just Deadpool without the suit. There is zero depth to the characters, which well, I guess you can say that about NPC's in general. But it don't make a movie interesting. At all.",3 "This film is crying out for editing. DeNiro's narration is as boring as his phoned-in performance. Pesci and Pacino give compelling performances, and Ray Romano shows some acting chops. Stephen Graham, as always, is very good. If it had focused on the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa it would have solved its length problem, but instead, it focuses on the life and times of DeNiro's character. I watched it twice before I wrote this to make sure I got it right. I did-the first time. It's worth seeing, on a rainy/snowy day, but if you haven't seen it, don't feel like you've missed something special. Oh, and it's too damn long!",5 "Slow and boring. SRK as Gaurav acted well, but movie was not up to expectations. Poor direction. Lacks a good story. First half is average. Second half is way too boring and doesn't have a logic. Background score is weird. Full of not-so-funny one liners. The chase between SRK and his fan is stupid. Climax is badly done. I am neither a fan nor hater but this is not something i expect from SRK. If you are a fan, you would love it anyway as SRK did his job very well . And yeah I missed Jabra song. Feeling disgusted after spending 300 bucks on seeing 140 minutes of crap. Overall not a good experience for me. Waiting for Raees now :)",1 "Glass Onion is an interesting who done it mystery done in a pop culture style that makes it likable to mainstream audiences across the Netflix streaming service at least when I viewed it. Made up of an all-star cast James Bond's Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, & Janelle Monae take the lead in this story that ultimately turns out to be a supreme revenge mystery!! The performances are good & each of the actors add to a fun feel of the movie that moves along at a great pace for a murder-mystery!! The soundtrack & limited action in the film are great and I highly recommend watching this movie with your group of friends or family to pass along a pleasant evening!! 7 out of 10 stars!!",7 "The books range between brilliance (almost everything) and waste (the conclusion of the saga, the unraveling), the series is more likely to be rolled around by the rubbish, the bright spots there to repair it only slightly. It's more welcoming than the Polish version, on the other hand, heavily infected with contemporary decadent currents - multiculturalism, feminism. quite purposely to the detriment of the work. Did the university manage to capture about 20% of that? The warlock deserves a quality rendition as the film Lord of the Rings.",2 "This is so bad that it should be taught at films schools, about how not to made a movie. Starting from the begining, the music is off (it is like is taken from another movie), an the fact that the main character is to much in your face, everything else is wrong. The plot is wrong, character development is wrong, editing is wrong, and basically Sandler is playing Sandler.",2 "Where do I begin? I was a big fan of the first game. Joel and Ellie invoked emotion in me I didn't know was possible to feel from a video game. After an amazingly perfect pilot episode, I thought this was going to be a series to rival Walking Dead or GOT. Unfortunately, after episode two, things bog down in a hurry. The infected, the real danger in the show disappear and it devolves into a drama show. At least The Walking Dead had the good sense to spend a couple of seasons where the dead were the danger before it became a human drama story with largely hit or miss episodes. The third episode in particular was insulting to say the least. Just when I'm fully invested in Joel and Ellie I get an entire episode of Bill and Frank who were glossed over in the game. Their relationship was merely implied and if not for a brilliant and emotional turn from Nick Offerman I might have stopped watching the series outright. There are ways to incorporate character development without actual filler episodes in a season one that only has seven episodes. The biggest problem I have with the series, however, and the reason it couldn't manage even a 5 for me was the cast. Ellie's character is badly miscast. Bella Ramsay's Ellie is vulgar, snarkey, abrasive and totally unlikable. It's a chore to watch her scenes without shaking my head. The leader of the group in KC was an utter failure in casting. Does anyone think that anybody would follow that woman anywhere? I thought Tess was OK and true to the source material and as much as I dont like Pedro Pascal, he's not only a terrific Joel, he carried season one on his back. The misfire on Ellie is series killing for me though. How you could make the most important character in the franchise the least likable character in the series is unforgivable.",4 "This is my most favourite MCU Movie of all time because it totally goes with the quote of Stanley that ""Marvel is and always will be a reflection of the world right outside of your window"" Today government is doing the same, trying to control people and have mass surveillance on them Sadly very few are aware about it 😔",10 "The moment the film started, it looked promising. And it lived up to my expectations. Queen, the film as well as the character, will stay with you even after it ends. The score, cinematography and not to forget, the performances were all great. I went with high expectations after all the reviews, and voilà! It still amazed me. Kangana Ranaut has always been great. And this film is the best so far, by her. And special mention for Lisa Haydon, she was good in her role. Same goes for the rest of the cast. Watch it and you won't regret. Not your typical masala film, but loaded with enough humor. And message for women empowerment too :P",9 "Hollywood wishes they could recapture the magic of movies from the past but it can't be done. Guess they are going to remake every single movie ever made and modernize it, as if this time was so grand.",3 "It's a cool show, with a great concept. But the second season kind of lost me. Still some great moments but it was just overall not as compelling as I was hoping. Hopefully season 3 is better!",7 "I was really hyped about this movie as I knew the movie is about Bangladesh, my country. But after watching the movie, I felt so disappointed. The movie lacks logic. Seriously there is no storyline, no twist. Also, this movie wasn't been able to present the true Dhaka City in front of the world. No one did talk Bengali properly. But I liked Chris Hemsworth's act. He did a great job. Except this, watching this movie is a total waste of time, just like watching a shooting game on YouTube. I'm totally disappointed 😔",2 How is it possible this movie got such a high rating? Half of the long movie is just about thing blowing up and flying around with absolutely no meaning. The rest is boring. Give few stars for the funny scenes.,3 "I was umming/aw-ring this for weeks, thinking to myself , 'Oh this will be another teen drama'. To my pleasant surprise I became hooked. It became clear within the first episode that there was so much more the plot can and does dive into. You were left teething to know more. As the episodes played and the stories unravelled, you get a real sense of how Hannah sadly became a target by the unknowingly teens and once friends. More and more piles on Hannahs world, and with the increase of stress, smaller issues became a big deal because of her state of mind. This series is a great representation of how you really don't know someones state of mind, how when someone says, 'i've had a bad day' you've no idea how bad. Maybe they lost their favourite jumper or maybe their parent dies, cats run-over and they break a leg. It doesn't matter how trivial something is to you such as a petty name call, it could mean the world ends for the person you're targeting, you could be just the tip of that iceberg. There is some superb acting. Dylan Minnette (Clay) for e.g was very mature and I felt his pain on screen. This goes again to Christian Navarro (Tony) who in his own right had his own story, but the film stuck with Hannahs storyline, which was a good move. Directing was solid, some good song choices and some well filmed scenes, let's say, they felt 'gritty' and 'raw' which emphasised the realism. Overall, an excellent Netflix series, on par with Stranger Things.",7 "Slow. Boring. Plotless. Awful soundtrack and a silly ending - all uncharacteristic for a Tarantino movie. I was expecting a dark kick on the Manson murders, as the trailer implies and the film kind of bubbles up to. Unfortunately, this plodding mess just put me to sleep and the climax I was expecting never materialised. Instead, the conclusion is nonsensical and demonstrates Mr T is finished- all out of fresh ideas. A waste of a good cast, Di Caprio and Pitt are a pleasure to behold, shame Tarantino let them down. I'm still wondering what the purpose of this movie was - to refer to it as a B movie would be a compliment. Save your money- don't get suckered into the 'it's a Tarantino movie' or the fine cast.",5 Henry Cavill hung up the cape for this? Completely lost as to what the plot of this series is?,2 "This series has many good points: good script writing, above average acting, good cinematography. decent character development, nice directing, among many others. The show steadily hypes you to look forward to the next and culminating (climax) episodes and seasons. The inclusion of other Marvel characters like Elektra, Kingpin, The Punisher and Bullseye are very exciting to watch and to look forward to. The superheroes and supervillains are also not overpowered-- they get fatigued quite easily, like most normal people do. The motivations of the characters are believable and relatable. To add to the challenge, the people behind the series have also added continuously shot fight scenes (like 10-15 minute long scenes without cuts!) which are insane to just even think about. Overall, this superhero series was done right and is on the right track so far. Looking forward to season 4. Off-topic recommendations: The spin-off series of The Punisher is also a must watch! You can forget about Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Jessica Jones is quite enjoyable.",9 "A very heartwarming story of family, love, forgiveness and determination, in the face of ignorance, misunderstanding, hatred and terrorism.",7 "HBO is not capable of making a bad show. Historically accurate, as much as possible for a five-hour adaptation of one of the greatest catastrophes in history, with excellent photography and sound, good acting, and an atmosphere that the fact that it is a historical event makes even gloomier. And yet, I did not experience it as a cinematic experience, nor did I enjoy it. I was not bored, on the contrary, I was interested in what it had to say and show. But, to compare with literature, I experienced it in the way that a textbook or a scientific publication on a topic that interests you is experienced, and not as a good novel. Emotionally, It didn't touch me nearly as much as a tragedy like this should. Besides, the combination of Russian and English drove me crazy. It would be much more impressive and convincing if the whole thing was filmed in Russian, but even if it was entirely in English, it would be just fine. Combined like this, the series didn't confuse me and I was aware all the time that all the characters were Russians and Ukrainians, but it created a strange divided atmosphere which on some background level was giving the impression of watching Americans save Russians, and that got on my nerves and spoiled the experience. 8/10",8 "I avoided watching this series for a while because, like several series' on Netflix, they get discontinued and I didn't want to invest my time. However, I gave in and found this series to be quite good. It's a bit slow in some areas and I got bored a few times with one of the scenes with Klaus. The actors are pretty good with the exception of Mary J Blige's character. Her acting isn't great but it's watchable. I found out that this series is based on a comic book. I've never read the comic so I've just been watching each episode as an unfamiliar. A lot of parts were very predictable though, such as who killed the dad, who the ""bad guy"" was that the one character was trying to find before all of them started trying to figure out who the person was. I had already figured that out as soon as I saw that particular character. I could even tell by the first episode who the strongest character was going to be. Maybe I have a strong sense lol Which character was the strongest was very obvious to me from the beginning and it verified my suspicion as I watched further into the series. I think the music is an acquired taste and isn't for everyone, as I actually don't like the music in the series that much. It's very carnival esk and it's a bit jarring for my taste, such as the scene with Luther and Allison when they were dancing. I muted it and actually fast forward through it a bit. Again, there were parts that bored me or parts that I felt ""over it"" fairly quickly. All in all, I watched the full 10 episode series in 2-3 days. It's an easy watch and for the most part, it keeps you engaged.",7 What ana amazing movie it is. Really loved the screenplay as well as every character into the movie. I find the movie to be out of the box. Something which combines you to the real world. Proper interpretation of the misconception of heaven and hell.<3,10 "I work in a high school. The biggest problem I see with this show is that it takes the most extreme and difficult situations and presents them as ""everyday"". Portraying suicide as a revenge and escape is both dangerous and false. Netflix is very irresponsible in the way they handled this. Every expert that they consulted advised against many of the details in the show. Anything for a buck--even if it results in more deaths. Don't try telling me that the show will spark good conversation about teen suicide. For those struggling with mental health and especially depression, shows like this promote negativity and self doubt. There should be an option on Netflix to block content. The show has already been banned in some places.",1 "Great acting by charlie. She steals the show. Rakshit shetty did good job too. Writing, screenplay, songs all departments are good. An emotional journey.",10 Liked the storyline... little too exaggerated 'bad white male' vibes.,8 "The movie is 2 hours long. It focus too much on the characters, and how they survive (which we have seen in TONS of TV Shows and movies about zombies-aliens-monsters apocalypse, so nothing new here). Nothing is ever explained, it's just happening and the ending is dull, disappointing and explains nothing. It's the worst movie I've seen from 2018.",4 "I have mostly enjoyed this movie. Fun quirky murder mystery. Beautiful performance from top level actors portraying colorful characters. But two things spoiled it for me. Ryan Johnson is like M. Night Shyamalan on steroids. A new twist every 10 minutes. By the end of the movie it felt heavy and artificial. I was more annoyed than surprised. ""Relevant"" jokes were sometimes cringy, and they certainly will not age well. This movie could be a long time classic. But instead, in 10 years many jokes will feel dated and awkward. The movie is worth seeing but don't wait too long.",7 "I cannot emphasize enough how much I hated this film. It was such an interesting concept and the teasers made it look so good that I had to go and see the movie. Unfortunately, as in so many cases, once you have seen the trailer, the film is identical but has been made about two hours longer. The end result is that you already know what is going to happen and are left waiting for the end so that you can leave to talk about how bad it all was... I desperately wanted this film to be good. I hoped it would be as visually dramatic as the previews suggested. I prayed the cast would live up to their reputations and bring it alive. What I found was that no amount of desire was going to save this film. Avoid it at all cost.",1 "When I agreed to go and see this movie with friends, I regretted that decision. This is mainly because I do not enjoy many superhero movies and I rarely go out of my way to see them. But this one was an interesting journey and had a cool concept of superhero beating the hell out of each other. So I don't regret the decision anymore. The movie is well shot but it felt like it had quite a bit of shaky cam in the fight scenes which I find quite annoying usually. The pacing of the movie felt quite fast and neatly laid out which was great. I wasn't bored through the movie like I have been with other recent Superhero flicks so that was great. The exposition can be a bit boring and tedious but the movie gets going quite quickly and has a good balance of everything you want with this type of movie. The action is great all the way through. There are many fights spaced out through the exposition scenes, all the fights felt brutal. And because its superheroes vs each other it can feel quite personal and gripping, even though you know they wont kill each other really. If you want to see this movie, the best reason to see it is for the action and characters, as there is a lot of both them things. Plus the stories or structure are never the strong part of superhero movies usually anyway. The characters are pretty much all the people we've seen before in the past movies plus a few new ones added in. So if you love the characters then thats one of the greatest reasons to see any movie! As the focus of this movie is more aimed at Captain America, Tony Stark is less witty then he probably would be in a movie where he is more of the focus but he still manages to get some humour in still so its not gone completely. All the actors play their parts great and all work off of each other well. No one lets the team down with a dodgy performance. The story of course is the main point and it may be the weakest point of the movie, at least to me anyway. Superhero movies very rarely have a story that actually makes you feel anything and the story just feels like it has to be there to keep the audience away from action for a while. With that said, it isn't badly done or in need to be ranted about. The overall point in the movie was apparently done in Batman Vs Superman which doesn't surprise me as Hollywood love to release two movies at the same time with a similar narrative and message. With all this said, this movies main focus is characters and not story. And the characters are all there, so if you love them, then you'll like the movie. It has the humour and the drama that the other films have which you may like if you enjoyed it in the other movies. If you are a fan of superhero movies at all then you should really like it as I believe it ticks all the boxes for an enjoyable superhero flick. If you aren't a fan though then you may still possibly like it because of the concept, or something else may wow you. If you hate these types of movies with a passion then you may not like this one, in fact you'll hate it. It doesn't break any ground or do much too differently that the other movies do. And given that I don't enjoy them ones, then I guess I like the movie mainly for the concept. The movie overall is a good experience and I enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind watching it again. If I had to choose between all of the superhero films, this would be on my list of likely to pick. People might be wondering if its better than Batman Vs Superman and id say, given all the criticism that movie got, this one must be the better one out of the two.",7 "Continuing the expanding saga, Marvel Studios takes the next steps in fleshing out the MCU with Iron Man 2. Having secured a period of World Peace since his big reveal, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) finds himself dealing with a crisis of health, as well as some skeletons crawling out of his fathers closet. While the origin film felt massive within its personal scope, the sequel feels quite small and inconsequential, akin to a filler episode of a television show. Though this film is a ton of fun, the story in between the fun are what make this a bit more lackluster than the previous. Whiplash (Mickey Rourke) comes off a generic villain, being nothing more than a glorified lackey for the show stealer, Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell). Being the reflection of what Tony Stark once could have been, Hammer is witty, charming, and delightfully arrogant. Through any of the boring moments, Rockwell's performance is the best part of the film, outside of RDJ. Though we get the introduction of Black Widow (Scarlet Johansson) & Don Cheadle's James Rhodes, they are mostly featured in inconsequential roles, just helping push the plot across. With little major physical threat, it's odd to say that the action sequences are some of the most memorable and entertaining in the early MCU. With the racetrack scene, the birthday blast, and the StarkExpo confrontation, each fight brought in a unique and compelling aspect, which made them genuinely exciting to watch. Although it isn't perfect, Iron Man 2 is a wildly fun ride, well worth its more forgettable facets.",7 "The visually striking and ambitious black and white film 'The Lighthouse' is a movie I was excited to see for months, but while watching it I was disappointed by the lack of story. The foreshadowing given at the beginning by Thomas saying his last hand went insane and was sent home made the entire film predictable and boring. Walking out of the theater I came away with nothing other than it was a shining remake inside of a lighthouse. The cheesy pirate dialogue and unintelligible rants of Willem DaFoe kept me awake but only to decide that it was a worse movie for keeping it like that. The lighthouse is a mediocre movie disguised as a movie people go to see to make themselves feel smart after watching it. It's a movie that someone who moved to Portland Oregon to be ""part of the culture"" would think is good.",5 "A little disappointed that the theater I went to see this in 3D was not working. Still enjoyed the story line and the action. I'm on Team Iron man. It was great to see the new Avengers and the surprise visit from another one of my favorites. I haven't missed a Marvel movie since they started, this was another good one. It lived up to the hype. My two guests and I enjoyed it. Will go again to see it in 3D. The Black Panther appears to be a great addition to the Avengers Squad. The Disney/Marvel collaboration is working out real well. When will we see or will we see Black Widow in her own movie? And we now have another Spider Man? Will the Hulk ever return?",10 Lovely performances by all the actors. Especially Chandan Roy (fresh and real acting). In love with the show and the characters since the first episode. We want at least 2 More seasons,9 "I'm gonna keep this short and sweet, with no spoilers. Up until the final stage of the film, I found myself wondering where this film was going. The performances of Dicaprio and Pitt were enough to keep me from walking out of the cinema, but not even these two Hollywood stars could get this stuttering motorbike going... Until the end. People hated the Hateful Eight (personally I loved it) but compared to this film, at least Hateful 8 had a clear progression from A to Z, whereas Hollywood went from A to B. As a massive Tarantino fan, this personally is definitely in my bottom 3 Tarantino films, alongside Death Proof and Dusk til Dawn. Don't waste your time",4 "I admit I only saw about the first 45 minutes; I just could not stand any more; this film was excruciating to watch. Worse by far than the nasty ''Adaptation.'' Probably second only to ""Sweetie,"" another horrifying film billed as a comedy. How could Kate Winslet, after her terrific performance in ''Iris,'' have signed on for this trash? Did the filmmakers set out to induce headache and nausea? The story, the lighting, the camera-work, the editing--they really made me seasick. And it's hard to care about characters who don't like themselves enough to engage in basic grooming. What in the world was romantic about this story of abuse, alcoholism, relationship addiction, and depravity? There was no compassion for the obvious sickness of the characters. Uck, uck, uck. I wish I could erase the memory of this piece of pretentious, stomach-turning nonsense from my aching head.",1 "This series is one of the best I have seen on Netflix, great story, well acted and atmospheric. It doesn't lose anything in the second series, takes it's time to get going but the story builds with every episode.",9 "Season two made my head explode. It was the best thing I've ever seen, finished it in three days",9 "From time to time I still dare to try one of the new superhero-movies/shows of those movie factories named DC and Marvel (hope dies last etc.). But long gone are the times where the announcement of a new movie or show made by DC or Marvel would get me nervous with expectation. Anyway, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is just another mass product, a soulless clone of a clone of a clone that gets published/aired every month. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: all in all just another snoozefest and nothing that you will remember after a few days.",4 "The timeline is so confusing that if you didn't read the fiction you would not know what is happening at all. And there is so little signal that tells you which timeline it is right now. Netflix is trying to put too much story into one season and they just forget that many viewer don't know what a witcher is, or why there is such a war at all! The timeline changes without any sign, so miserable! No background establishment, thinking the viewer must had read the original fictions, which is ridiculous. Choosing characters mainly becasue of political correctness. Character other than the Super Man is not charming at all, so pale and pointless. Yen's character build is a total mess. Trsis is more like a country farmer. And Ciri? Oh, how could netlfix do this! Not enjoyable at all. Hard to accept for a person who had played the The Witcher III and finished the whole fiction series. Don't know why it is rated this high, please read the original fiction or just play the game. both are extraordinary, far more better than this clueless show. If you just want to see a world similar to the The Lord of Rings, be my guest. There are 7 books about this, very long story to tell, and I don't think Netflix could ever finish the story. So, I seriously doubt how far could this show go in near future.",3 Amazing Performance by rakshit shetty and Charlie. Watch in theatre for better experience. 10/10 my rating. Oscar level Content. Great effort from Director. Very strong and Emotional storyline.,10 "The storytelling is complete chaos. The dialogue is stupid. Yennefer lacks the air of a power sorcerer, among other things. Henry Cavill is one of very few things that don't disappoint.",3 The series have a lot of good actors but the action is just BORING some times! Some episodes are just masterpieces but the most are just boring!,6 "3 Men in the the Bravo Company's bomb disposal unit currently stationed in Baghdad. James is the tech team leader. When James arrives on the scene, Bravo Company has 39 days left on its current deployment. 39 days is a long time to be together (Sanborn &Eldridge) these men whose styles do not mesh with their new leader. James is a renegade for who the thrill of the dismantlement seems to be the ultimate goal regardless of the safety of his fellow team members (himself or others). On the other hand, Sanborn is by the books: he knows his place & duty & trusts others in the army to carry out their jobs as he does his. Eldridge is an insecure soldier who is constantly worried that an error or misjudgment on his part will lead to the death of an innocent civilian or a military colleague. While the 3 members face their own internal issues, they have to be aware of any person at the bomb sites, some of who may be bombers themselves. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, & James true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever. All aspects of film-making are top-notch, non typical screenplay vivid cinematography, masterful directing & well paced editing. Bigelow breaks with traditional Hollywood narrative techniques in this film. There is no clear antagonist, no rising action, no obvious character development & no climax. Bigelow making a powerful statement about the insane addiction that is war. This is a non compromising film. Bigelow has succeeded in creating an entirely memorable experience that will leave its mark as one of the very best war spectacles put to film. Katherine Bigelow is James Cameron's (Titanic Avatar) ex wife. Married 1989 to 1991. I did not particularly care for the movie. I hate war movies. I disagreed with the US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and most films which use mostly hand held cameras lose my interest. Done guerrilla-style"" with hand-held cameras",5 "Selena's voice wasn't bothering me early on, but, now, by episode 6, it's really grinding by bloody gears. She is supposed to be some sort of singer isn't she, if so, why does she talk out of her nose for chrissake. Maybe the script is partly to blame, at this point it seems to have her doing a lot of navel-gazing & wallowing in self-pity. But still, it's bloody annoying at the moment. I may have to turn audio off and subtitles on, to get through this, if she keeps talking through her nose.",8 "This is so perfectly average. At least I thought it was, but time has changed that a bit. Seeing what Thor and Loki have become in recent years and then to look back on this and see just how unpolished and unrefined they were. There's still some fun here but it's mostly just mediocre.",4 "Review By Kamal K As unpredictable as a game of Ludo itself is Anurag Basu's (Ludo). It's Hands Down one of the best Bollywood films of 2020. 5 Divergent stories beautifully embedded into a single narrative. With four key players and one man, Sattu Bahiya (Pankaj Tripathi) a local gangster rolling the dice, Ludo is a crazy rollercoaster adventure with impressive performances. It's a Brilliant Dark comedy with Spellbinding writing & masterful direction by Anurag Basu. He is truly the King when it comes to making Anthology Films. All the characters are very interesting and the manner in which the different tracks intersect is totally unpredictable. Hence, despite the long length (150 minutes), it keeps you hooked. As the name suggests, it's exactly like a Ludo game, every character's (Dress and surroundings) is described as the colour of each Ludo house. A true cinephile will understand and get the gist of the film immediately. Dialogues are written very well. The Cinematography is visually stunning and beyond Amazing. The entire album of the film is Pure Gold. Each and every song is uniquely addictive and infused situationally, making it a sweet musical comedy-drama as the film progresses. There's thrill, emotion, drama, humour, and romance tightly packed together with an absurd climax where the key players strive to survive. Abhishek Bachchan & Rajkummar Rao deliver exceptional performances, Pankaj Tripathi is hilarious and once again impresses us with his acting skills. The youngest member of the cast Inayat Verma as Mini is truly a revelation and will make you fall in love instantly. Since it's a Dark Comedy, there are a couple of adult scenes and a few cuss words. Overall, I'd say it is definitely something you should not miss at any cost. It has some amazing quirky elements, great songs, unique story, engaging screenplay and above all a brilliant ensemble cast delivering their best performances. Highly",8 "At the time this came out it was quite unique in the superhero genre. It showed character development compared to the first Spiderman and a good villian in Doc Octopus. While other superhero films since have matched/surpassed this template, this can be seem as a founding father to todays superhero flicks. For Harry Osborn, read Bucky Barnes. i was never a huge fan of Tobeys Spiderman, he was good as nerdy Peter Parker but as Spiderman he doesn't crack enough jokes, doesn't have a heroic presence and is too obsessed with rescuing Mary Jane. The latter part could work, except Mary Jane is an unlikable character and the worst part of the film. She's not a strong woman, she's a generic ""damsel in distress"" who is not exactly 100% loyal to Parker. Compared to what we seen on film in 2018 this type of woman seems quite backward and is not interesting. The film spends too much time focusing on the Parker-Jane relationship, which dragged the film down. Other aspects were good, Doc Ock's arc was fascinating and was a badass villain. Parkers struggle to balance being a superhero and a ordinary college student is well done, despite the obsession with Mary Jane. And the newspaper guy has the best laugh in the history of cinema. The ending nicely sets up the next film (which unfortunately turned out to be a disaster.) A good film that has been overshadowed somewhat by todays superhero flicks.",7 "Ajay is effective. Saurabh Shukla is at the top of his game. Ammaji (Pushpa Joshi) steals the show. The plot unravels in a very engaging manner. The love-hate banter between Devgn and Shukla interspersed with witty dialogues alone is worth the price of an admission ticket. Overall, a decent one time watch, notwithstanding some superfluous commercial elements like a couple of romantic songs and an occasionally jarring background score.",10 "It's been so long I don't write a review here, I'm going to write a lot, but rest assured that everything is worth reading. I think that now is the time to warn the people who are thinking about wasting their time with Tarantino movies, so here it goes. Tarantino is an object of adoration among a ''group of people'', mostly of them female, because of Uma Thurman's character Mia Wallace and Travolta's uncompromising rescue of her comprised of fully consented misdemeanors. So due to this, Tarantino has been bathing in comfortable approval for 25 years. For that reason, he got a pass to keep doing the same movie for a very long time and I'm happy to be able catch a glimpse of its end. I don't think he can keep getting away with it and that is a good thing for us all. No other movies of him are worth mentioning. Tarantino movies are fetishist movies, he can bewitch his audience to enjoy the things they are supposed to despise. All of them have the same premise of ''straight face tension building'' to end in a release of graphic violence of ideological antagonists. The watcher enjoy some sort of catharsis and It all feels very similar with LVT movies, but worse, because it has no wits to it. At least the later is able to fool me. I think that at minute five or eight, he uses a plot device subterfuge to state that this is still a Tarantino movie and that his admires should keep watching, but it is so in the face that is gross. At that minute I knew, the emperor was naked after all. Minor SPOILERS ahead, tread carefully: Now that tables have turned, since he went to bite the hand that feeds him in this new movie, we are safe to have a go at him just because the best character, who is played by Brad Pitt, is apparently, an unapologetic misogynist who killed his wife, but learned to navigate the world and stay out of jail just fine. So with that sort of premise, we can easily point the finger at the reasons people are signaling to him that he should stop. Isn't it funny that I happen to agree with them, even if the reasons to do so are not the same? Well, I'm not going to waste your time like Tarantino did, so I'll go ahead and say the best and worst thing in the movie. The most clever thing in this movie that is worth mentioning and rating is a sort of ''metaplay'' between what Di Caprio's character, Rick Dalton, does in the movies he plays(he is an actor), and what Di Caprio's is actually doing in this movie(acting). He plays a once famous actor who is now coming to terms with not playing leading characters anymore, while at the same time, Pitt's character, Cliff Booth, is a unemployed ex-stuntman to Rick wich is depicted as a supporting role, but is actually leading it. This sort of anti-hero playing juxtaposing their conflicting ideals and still having them as best friends to one another is the chemistry that weaves this movie together. Rick Dalton is fragile, unstable and has many vices while Cliff Booth is reliable, strong and confident. These perks work together to underscore their characters flaws and qualities and I have to admit that this is very clever and why I rated it 4 stars, otherwise I would have rated it 1. I can't be sure, but at this point, I don't think there is no other review which have acknowledged the fact above, so in a way, they are not being honest with the director and I just wish they would. They are just displeased that he decided to poke at their insecurities, which is also another thing one can use to understand the characters while having fun at the same time, even after the movie is over. These people just can't handle to be criticized. The worst part about the movie is everything else. Cardboard characters that have no reason to be, have no depth. Even Margot Robbie's Sharon Tate, whose history serves just as a background to an anti-climax that is absolute distasteful. I'm not going to spoiler it not say what it all means, I'm just saying that his tricks are obvious and the only people who can be puzzled by it are the people complaining that ''they don't like him anymore''. I never liked his movies and I think his tricks are finally wearing off, which is a good thing. I hope you enjoy the movie, because I couldn't. It is slow and boring, but Pitt is wonderful as an unapologetic guy that nudges at his comic representation of Lt. Aldo Raine in Inglorious Basterds, which is also a bad movie.",4 How anyone can say that this is a good movie is beyond me. Total garbage. Sandler should just stop already and I am embarrassed for Jennifer!,1 "I am eagerly waited for this series and it finally came... Bhuvan Bam with his awesome acting, performance, script writing and dialogues made us delighted.... On the basis of first episode I think that it is full of entertainment and enjoyment but the real review will come after watching other episodes and story line......",8 "This movie is a jumbled, hurried mess of a bunch of ideas that I feel everyone jumped on the bandwagon because they felt they were supposed to give it flowers that it does not even come close to deserving. It's a fast-paced whirling dervish of nonsense with little to no point. And don't even get me started on all it's undeserved wins at the Oscars - an absolute low for the Academy Awards, when there were other films FAR more deserving in nearly every category. It's an instant headache and one of the most dizzying annoying pieces of try-hard ""art"" ever captured on film. I cannot overstate how un-clever this film is, while some critics and fans must have been tricked into thinking it was a ""must watch"" - in reality, it is 140 minutes of blah, blah, blah combined with some nauseatingly fast action sequences. Not only is this this not worth watching in the slightest, it's one of the biggest wastes of time out there. You will likely be told: ""just watch it!"" (If you haven't already), but if you don't want to suffer through nearly 2.5 hours of utter garbage, I'd suggest skipping it. My score of 3/10 is being kind, due to the obvious amount of hard work that all involved put into making this ridiculous thing. It's jumbled rubbish - don't believe the hype.",2 "Visually, it was fairly impressive. I have now listed everything good about this movie, as it has no other merits. My dad loved this movie, but he's in his 60's and easily impressed (considering he mostly watches movies and TV shows from the 1970's and earlier).",5 "Plot is weak and with holes. Sometimes there sequence of events is broken. It looks like something was cut due to time considerations but the result of the event has stayed in and it's not clear how the result was achieved. In some places CGI was obviously too costly so they went with the ""workarounds"". Oscar Isaac is the only major bright spot. That guy is a very good actor. There are some other bright spots, pretty small though. There is some humor which makes you smile occasionally. Also at the start of the series it was kind of engaging. That's about it for me.",4 "What a superb anime! Every episode is full of knowledge and adventures. The characters are interesting the story is fresh and the art and animation are gorgeous. No unnecessary nudity, sex or extreme violence. Every episode is a magnificent trip full of hope for the human race. We really came far throughout history if you think of it. I hope the show gets many many many seasons! Arigato!",9 "The best thing about the original Top Gun is that it didn't care for a minute and that somehow saved it from its many flaws and limitations, even though it didn't really deserve it to, thus ending up being a surprisingly fun movie in spite of the odds (like it or not, it is a two hours long, give or take. Military-industrial complex advertorial no matter how you slice it) Like the Mav likes to argue, if any (normal) guy stopped to think about that movie, it'd kill them dead. Of aneurysm. (Quentin's not normal, of course.) TG: Maverick does all it can to ingratiate fans of the original (""see! We watched it and EVEN took notes on our iPhones.. how about dat ole HEN!"" --seriously, it's got a character named Rooster and he's Goose's kid - I kid you not) while satisfying new moviegoers. Infamously you can't make everyone happy and trying to do so most likely pisses everyone off. When the crazy warbird mayonnaise couldn't go crazier, it starts jumping sharks, maybe when a 60 yo writes checks his body should never be able to cash, and takes twenny somethings to school, while dropping the conscious act so as to not notice the ridiculous entirely. After that it's just sharks jumping over sharks on top of shark-jumping sharks until the back row gets aneurysms, too. It never makes much sense beyond a very token, surface level --and you don't even have to stop to think, in the 130 minutes run there's enough down time to allow anybody to do that, sadly: one easy example is the overlong Mach 10 introduction whose task is to establish that Mav is no longer a self-absorbed dick, but in the process forgets to ever tell us why should anybody care about going Mach 10, past a token effort to paint Cpt. Mav as working man, AI fighting, hero. In fact, after the intro the thing is never mentioned or remembered again... and it just trusts that you'll side with the maverick and stick it to the - utterly charming as ever Ed Harris, BTW - man - just because we are all supposed to disregard authority somehow (a sentiment I can entirely subscribe to otherwise), unless the seat of that authority happens to be us (very Trump-like under a certain light) and it can't ever manage to misdirect attention long enough so that the viewer doesn't notice. Oh BTW just like the original Top Gun I could not be affected less if you don't like this review, you fanbois can swallow a dusty GPZ900 sideways for all I care. The ghost of Obi-Wan, --sorry I mean Goose's, and also Admiral 'Ice' Kazansky's do hate when it does that, nevertheless they would still show you the bird. PS: what the hell is a ""multi-lateral NATO treaty"" supposed to be, anyway ? Why would ""GPS Jamming"" mess up the F-35 ...but not ye ole F-18.. ? I could go on.",4 "As a whole, contemporary film is poor, lousy, empty, lifeless, and just a waste of resources. This film is another of 1,000s of lifeless contemporary films, and is why I cautiously consider anything made from 2000 on. Note: I love classic film but that's not to say some classics aren't poor, if not entirely offensive. But as a whole, classic film depended on good story, acting, and directing. Most importantly, if the acting leg didn't stand the whole table would topple. This is not the case today where anyone with influence or money can produce film. Here's my breakdown: STORY: This story is on par with swill like ""The Punisher,"" and so many ""stories"" about men gone crazy. Here's what you need: 1. Fast Cars (think the film ""Fast and Furious"" 2. Wealth (why is it every one of these goons has seemingly limitless resources?) 3. Lost love of some kind (this was barely fleshed out here) 4. Conflict (this too is both weak and convoluted) 5. Bad acting (yep, but they still get paid mucho) Equally important ... the film starts in the middle of ""I DON'T KNOW!"" and then jumps like a flea into a kill-fest. What??? Did the writers and director (s) ever actually study under gifted mentors? How can anyone call this story anything other than pus out of a vending machine. FULL Disclosure: The seeming hypocrisy here on my part here is that I thought the film ""Blade"" was fantastic. But that's largely because it's very much off center and skates the razor's edge. In addition, having a lead BLACK MALE doing the justice was way, way outside the white picket fence. ACTING: I loved the films ""The Matrix"" and ""The Terminator,"" each for diverse reasons. One reason in is that both leads (Reeves and Arnold) have either very few lines or they are brief. Neither of the mentioned actors can act. Let me reword that, most contemporary actors cannot act (well). The acting here is passable, but is nonetheless useless in the context of a futile story. TEMPO: Bounces around like a ball of flubber CINEMATOGRAPHY: Dark DIRECTING / WRITING: After looking over the resumes here I see one of the problems: this was co-directed by two guys (one a kick boxer) where it happens to be their first rodeo. The writer (only one) has a shallow resume with little but emptiness. Is it a good film? No. It's horrible. Should you watch this once? Yes, if you're between the ages of 14 - 25, and your idea of knowledge is Google. Rating: 3 (for the cute puppy)",3 "This was my wife's choice of film and she enjoyed it. However, for me the characters were two- dimensional and unconvincing. From the outset I too was waiting for something to happen, or at least something which might engage me with wherever a storyline was headed. The location shots were mostly unidentifiable to me as New York, apart from a graffiti covered subway train and out of focus distant panoramas, and these were perhaps cut in with post production. A man in front of me fell asleep but I remained awake and alert with the mounting expectation that something viewable would materialise. Nothing did and I found this film not as gripping as the title might have suggested.",5 "Spielberg is one of those directors who perfectly encapsulate the magic of cinema so I was very excited for ""The Fabelmans"", a film based on Spielberg's early, formative years as a filmmaker. Admittedly, the film was different from what I expected in that it offers a strikingly sober depiction of Spielberg's youth in contrast with the usual nostalgic sweetness of Spielberg's filmography. However, this still works to the film's advantage as it provides an unembellished account of Spielberg's life and the personal obstacles he faced on his path to becoming a Hollywood filmmaker. Overall, this is a very good Spielberg biopic backed by excellent casting and great performances.",8 LIKE WHY? Get rid of that Ani Chick. Blagh. Worthless and boring.,1 "1. Guy gets a new face. We never see his old face. 2. Guy is traveling through time. 3. Guy is searching for a mysterious terrorist. Now WHO might this mysterious villain be? Make an educated guess. Put 2 and 2 together. Time travel movies? Weird paradoxes and stuff? Do you see a twist coming? Oh, and another thing: Guy also loses something that is not often lost, he loses his voice! He then meets someone in a bar who talks with a weird voice and oddly decides to tell him the story of his entire life. Do you see some kind of time travel twist coming? Maybe?",2 Earlier Episode was quite good but this time we had to experience foul languages. It is not more a Family Drama. Overall Content was pretty good. I def recommend.,8 "At first I thought that this was just a show, like other shows. My brothers used to watch 24 and sometimes I slipped thru the TV room as they watched 24 and I only thought Okay. Then at last I watched the last episode of the first season and it was hilarious good! Then I was angry on myself that I didn't watch from beginning to end. But as the second season started I was stucked in front of my television. I couldn't miss any episode of 24! Now I've watched all four seasons and 24 is my favorite TV show now and I love it! The actors are almost too good to be true! Everything seems so real! You can't get any better TV show than this! I have season one, two and three on DVD and I'm going to buy season four as soon as it arrives to our country. (I'm non-US) Nothing, I mean nothing, will ever beat 24! Not even Lost or Candid Camera! LoeL.

Love story was also was missing which may be seen in next season. I did not know why the character of Abhishek was always angry. Yes but this is watchable.",7 "Excellent. In this picture I realised my pet . Good night dada ki bhava lai majak kar Raha hai bhai perfect for me to you so much for your personality and I will be in this picture I realised my pet is our mother we proud of you.",10 Bloated action nonsense fun with Ryan and a touch of Michael Bay's flare.,6 "I know, i can't compare the two different movie trilogy. But let me please because a lot of thing remind me a little to the harry potter movies. What i find unfortunately is that the feeling i get with the movie fantastic beast is nothing compared to harry potter. In harry potter you see a boy growing up. First you get to know the caracter before you're thrown in the deep with all the magic. You first get to know the caracters and the then you get to appreciate the surroundings where harry potter takes place (it takes at least an hour before the introduced everything). What i want to say is that these movies take everything slow. And thats where i fell in love with. The movies built on each other. All the slow getting to know the caracters and surroundings and then introducing the storyline is gone withe the movies of the fantastic beast. I miss the good musical effects and a person to fall in love with and follow the story of. You have newt. But instead of liking the person, he irritates me. I don't connect to the caracter because they didn't give me time to. (My opinion don't know if anyone else has the same) Im watching action that takes place but see no things that really matter. There is a storyline but its not important to me because i have no one i can relate to. I really hope the make more movies. (Because i want to know where this is going). The caracter credence barebone i do find intresting. I hope they make newt a little more interesting. Hope i can get the harry potter magical chills with these movies as well as they take them further.",5 "When the movie started out by saying there is no sound in space, I thought I will finally get a movie that depicts space correctly. But only a few minutes into the movie, my hopes were ruined. I'm not sure if realism is what the director wanted or not but there were very unrealistic moments to create a typical Hollywood cliche. Like ""You have to let me go"", ""I'm not letting you go"" scene we've seen so many times in movies. But they do this in zero gravity? They are both stopped. No momentum and no outside force acting on them. But one gets sucked into outer space like there's a black hole. On top of that, the main character is frustratingly obtuse. She's keep talking about getting into the space ship to save Clooney but she actually doesn't move? Just keeps talking about ""I'm gonna save you"" but just stays there. When the alarm went off for debris to hit again, she's admiring the view? These are just bad directions. Overall, it could've been a good movie. Ruined by bad direction.",3 "From a production standpoint: this film is bloody brilliant. Expert craftsmanship all around from the photography, editing, acting. I imagine this was a very difficult film to make and was handled with expertise. The screenplay was very disappointing, however. The racing scenes are fantastic, but most of the non-racing scenes are just cookie-cutter and uninspired. If the racing scenes weren't so thrilling and engaging, this movie wouldn't have a leg to stand on. There are certain themes and elements which James Mangold does so well-and you can expect to see them in this film-but they're never really explored with much depth. Themes such as fatherhood, sacrifice, independence in spite of authority, what a man must do to take care of his family, a child's expectations of their father; all of these are just lifeless, dead on arrival. There's one female character in the film and she gets to sit at home and be the supportive wife to Christian Bale's character. That said, this is one of Christian Bale's best performances. He steals every scene he's in-but, unfortunately he only is ever given the same 3 beats to play. How many times can you watch him get angry when someone tells him he can't do something? Entertaining as it may be, it grows stale after a while. The two-and-a-half-hour run time feels like three. Fantastic editing not withstanding, at least thirty minutes of the film could have cut. Cut this film down by thirty minutes, and you have a serious Oscar contender. Keep it the way it is, and you have a real letdown of what could have been one of the year's best.",2 "The first two hours in my opinion could have been cut down to 1 hour just so much self indulgent filming going on, I was thinking at one point why am I watching Brad Pitt driving down road with wind blowing through his hair for 5 minutes? The other scenes where QT was remaking films was just too much and too long, we get it you loved these films and wanted to do something with them but I don't want to watch a film within a film, it became so disjointed at one point just trying to do little random self indulgent scenes. I will say the final part was the only time I didn't find myself fighting to turn it off, it was good hence the 3 stars, but pretty lame idea of a wealthy out of touch celebrity of saving a few celebrities in his film.",3 "A young man and his friend try to join the notorious AXE GANG, but in doing so they need to do some pretty nasty things. Through a series of unfortunate events the axe gang stumble upon this place called pig stye alley and they cause chaos for the people who live there. This causes kung fu masters who live there to reveal themselves and begin a war. The young man, Sing, nearly dies during a battle and is reborn as a kung fu master, who must fight the evil one known as The Beast. I saw Shaolin Soccer and was surprised by how much I loved that film. It had soccer, kung- fu, great comedy and hilarious off the wall moments that would never happen outside of the world created in the film. Chow has taken this concept to the next level with Kung Fu Hustle, a brilliantly funny and ass kicking kung fu film. The quotes about the film are true, it really is a Kill Bill Meets Looney Tunes flick. Chow is Sing, the lead character, who wants to be really bad. He has trouble doing this because he is horrible at it. It all stemmed from a troubling childhood, in which he was sold some wacky looking kung fu manual, which made him think he knew kung fu. When he sees a young deaf mute girl being picked on, he tries to use his kung fu to help her. Oops, he gets his butt kicked and then he gets urinated on. How's that for humiliation. Now that he's older, he thinks the only way to get things in life is if you take them by force. So he joins the axe gang, but has a battle of conscience and is nearly killed. This unleashes his kung fu skills and then the poop hits the fan. The film is off the wall wacky fun. The kung fu in the film is really well choreographed and with the added use of funny CGI, it takes the film to another level of entertainment. Chow uses numerous references in his film, from Kill Bill to The Matrix to The Shining. It's fun to spot them here and there. The film never feels like it's cheating or copying others, it's definitely it's own unique film. It just knows where its inspirations are. I can't recommend this one enough, it has numerous re-watch capabilities. I find myself watching it every time it is on television. If you're a fan of Chow and Shaolin Soccer, Kung fu Hustle manages to outdo it's predecessor. It might take some people a moment or two to get use to the animated style used in the film, it is very Bugs Bunny/Road Runner. Go in with the right expectations and you will have fun.",9 "The second time I even loved it more. It's proves again that the greatest movies are made with less than nothing.mostly unknown actors,sober locations,.. Yes,finally a movie without explosions. It is the first movie I gave a 10 vote nice work nice done",10 "Saw La La Land a week ago and I needed time to process how little impressed with it I ended up being. It is a sparkly superwhite depiction of LA in an utterly apolitical, hipster way that scratches it's soles to the beat of eras when most things were just that - self-centered posh people having ""dreams."" It is, underneath the personal story of two people trying to ""be something"", an embodiment of ""make film great again"" as the dictator down south's mean-spirited and ignorant slogan about America itself is. It is a throwaway film, most certainly does NOT deserve any Oscars, and is actually quite forgettable, except for the City of Stars song. The dancing isn't just off, it's terrible, dare I say, utterly lame. Emma Stone's charm only got me so far through this puffed up piece of cupcake dust. The use of Griffith Observatory becomes goofier than even the worst parts of Titanic. Arrival, Moonlight, even Manchester by the Sea are far, far superior films. This of course means La La Land will win big time. I enjoyed Warcraft more. Seriously.",3 "After 40 years of neoliberalism yet another psychotic billionaire trying to play God and in the process murdering people? This has so many echoes with scenarios we are seeing in the papers almost every day in the last few years; folks basically outside of all legal framework; able to dictate to their workers to government to the police; Essentially people who have gathered so much money that their personal madness is able to exist with no brakes whatsoever... The entire piece the entire effort steeped in a scientific or rather pseudo-scientific pseudo-philosophical bath which really belongs more to the late 1800s early 1900s than it does to the 21st-century; some half-baked concept centred around quantum physics something which was first mooted over 100 years ago now trying to make this sound like it is cutting-edge coupled with a worshipful adoring cult of code-writing as if it were a born-again form of asceticism. Also much bleating on about determinism a highly irritating concept especially the way it is handled here ... and also counter to truly modern physics It is not all bad at all; some very decent acting in there but frankly another piece of science is so wonderful that it will fix anything and everything and even reverse death through computers and code writing; concepts so ridiculous and farcical that they would make you laugh if there was any humour at all in this Piece But truly there is not not a titter at any point in this; also manages to weave into this Opus some anti-Russian elements and brutality against Oriental people something That since Vietnam and Korea we expect from the Coca-Cola empire plenty of this here .... Quite a few times certainly in the first two or three episodes did I get close to throwing this in the bin; but something kept me going the narrative at times draw you in at other times becomes so paper- thin and ludicrous bailing out of it seemed the correct course of action. This was filmed and conceived by the writer of the 2000 film ; a writer who produced three novels and then decided to be a Hollywood script writer and eventually film director Even in the beach the final scenes were involved with computers at a time when this was really novel; the themes of utopia were also present in the beach then there was a novel called the Tesseract which was also laced with quite a bit of science personally I had lost Track with the writer since then and it is interesting to see that most of the themes which inhabited this writer remain intact 20 years later. The actor playing the part of the psychotic billionaire has the face and eyes of a looting Viking The main actress is a Japanese-Argentine British dancer from Somerset who does a pretty good job of appearing to be a Silicon Valley keyboard monkey; many here in the comments slag off her style of acting; too unemotive they say; well dudes and dudettes she is playing a grieving Chinese programmer for crying outloud: which part of this would you expect to trigger a Mediterranean hand-waving excitable performance; it seems to me what she displays here is EXACTLY what is required; totally in character Then there is a Korean-born American actor who plays the part of her jilted boyfriend possibly reactivated later on all of these do a very decent job The question is should you watch this? I would say why not. Is it good very good average? It is all of these things at different times the quality of the entire thing wavers Quite a lot in my view But since it is yet again another piece warning us of the danger of letting individuals amass immense wealth and then dictate to the world to governments to us all ultimately how to live how to think it is a useful work... I would advise people to give it a whirl.",6 "I could accept that ""this wasn't my kinda movie"" and put it down to experience, but friends have also seen this movie and felt the whole thing is so over-rated. The critics love it, which is warning enough, it's like Unforgiven all over again. ""Hilarious"" - hmmmm. you got to be joking.",1 "Its funny how our Indian directors can turn a perfect beginning into the worst ending only to adhere to Indian ideas of having the good girl as the wife! The movie was plain and a cliché but could have been so much better only if the story writer had had some guts to take a little risk with the story line but I guess the producer preferred to get some returns in the bank by being conventional instead of risking profits in-order to make a bold movie. Its a pity! Besides I love the way everything falls into place in the end in most of our movies, only if real life was such!! Like all the other reviewers I agree that the first half was good but the second half could have been so much better. Good performances though and that make the movie tolerable. The comedy and songs were entertaining.",2 "Nothing to special about this movie, unfortunately the writing is unoriginal and the acting uninspired.",5 "A solid espionage thriller with good twists, effective performances, and great production value.",9 "Let me start with what I liked. The soundtrack was terrific. Geralt and Ciri really held up the entire show. Here's what I hated. Sometimes the writing took away from the immersion. For example when a character uses the expression ""living off the grid"". I never knew medieval fantasy Europe had electrical grids. Or other times when the writing was plain silly. Like a creature leaps from cover and tackles Geralt while screaming ""Get away from me"". Overall the series seemed rough around the edges. Understandably, it's hard to make a character driven show without talented writers.",6 "Bollywood is notorious for overdoing things so when we saw Swades, it was surprisingly balanced - there is little dispute that it is romanticized, but romanticism is far more the norm in India. Given that scale as a standard, Swades was well calibrated. The acting was well controlled and the story compelling. Shah Rukh Khan is a pretty good actor and so is Gayatri Joshi, not to mention stunningly beautiful. The interaction between Mohan (Shah Rukh) and Gita (Gayatri) in many places is really charmingly done and mature such as the eye contact game when she is tying Shah Rukh's ""dhoti"". The music is also very good. The song ""Yuhin Chala Chal Rahi"" is an fusion of Indian classical, bollywood and western rhythm which really works. The lyrics of the songs are also meaningful. The only negative I would highlight is that the subtitles during the songs are a little overly poetic and ""olde English"" - like which detracts from the real lyrics of the song. Definitely recommend it!",9 "(Before this, the only other Punisher media I've seen was the most recent movie.) Overall, the show was a great action TV series with interesting story and development. I think what really shined was the attention to detail, specifically character development and detail. Characters were interesting and personable, and there was interesting development throughout the story. The action was really entertaining. It was quite violent at times, but not overly. On that note, there was a very detailed attention to the consequences of war on the soldier, and I thought that focus was interesting and done well. The main story wasn't too novel, but as a package with the other stories going on it was good, and again the character detail helped a lot. The newspaper character I thought was maybe a little lame, it seemed like such a Marvel trope. Sometimes I thought the show went a little heavy on the USA and guns pride. I thought Jon Bernthal as the punisher did a fantastic job. Ebon Moss-Bachrach was also great, and him and the punisher had good chemistry. Overall the acting was really good. Overall the show felt pretty heavy. There was some appreciated comedic relief, but I think there could have been a bit more, that is I thought the show was a bit too heavy, but only just a tiny bit.",8 "If u really want to get into the story, u need to watch it alone before u sleep. Believe me this show will leave u with deeeeep thinking. Everything about it is just different",8 "My 2 fave actors and genres in one series! I love Jason Bateman and it is so good to see Ben Mendelsohn kicking goals from his earliest, and abfab movie, The Big Steal. A cop show with supernatural themes is brill",8 "This is 10/10! I totally recommend it to everyone who loves this kind of movies! Great story, quality and really worth watching. It keeps full attention from beginning to the end. For me personally, this part is even better than first! Congratulations!",10 "Comeback of Saif ali khan and it's power-packed performance, engaging story each and every scene unfolds secrets.",9 "Visually it is interesting for half an hour. After that, you really pay more attention to the story than the visuals. And the story is just so so. Mediocre. After 90 minutes of incesant visual noise and excess, you just want it to end. I saw the last half hour in reprise. What a waste of talent. It would have been great as a short film or something.",3 "This movie was deeply disappointing. Most of the movie was spent focusing on the man rather than Wonder Woman. Too much slow motion, and a slow story, made this a real yawner.",2 "The technical errors in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES are enough to warn viewers that they'll wish there were subtitles for some of the quiet scenes between Marion Cotillard and/or Anne Hathaway, both of whom have a habit of dropping their voices at key moments. Miss Cotillard has whole sentences that are key to an understanding of her character that are barely intelligible. Surely, whoever designed the audio mix has some explaining to do. Otherwise, fans will get their money's worth of action and thrills despite a lumbering plot that takes far too long to unwind after a breathtaking opening shot involving mid-air hostages. And the performances are uniformly fine from the large cast--Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Matthew Modine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gary Oldman and Michael Caine. But the flaws are there in the script which has too many strands of sub-plots to cover and too many humiliating fights between Bane and Batman before the man of steel redeems himself again. Nevertheless, there are moments where it kicks into high gear between some dull stretches. Christopher Nolan sees to it that the action sequences are given top priority to any other values inherent in the script. Personally, I still prefer the first and second ""Batman"" films to this one which is sometimes too muddled in content. Biggest drawback is the fact that the sound mix of voices vs. explosions (and Hans Zimmer's music) has been poorly handled at key moments in plot development. Fans of ""Batman"" will probably overlook these weaknesses in the long run, but I felt they should be pointed out.",6 "I didn't know a lot about the Umbrella Academy before coming in to this. Truthfully I only started the show because I saw Pogo as the thumbnail on Netflix, I thought it might be some Planet of the Apes type stuff. Overall I did really enjoy it, I thought the characters were funny - although perhaps there's a bit too many of them. I enjoyed the music a lot!",7 "When i saw Godfather Part 2 i was kinda skeptical because sequels are normally not as good as the original. But ""The Godfather Part 2"" is an exception to that theory. Godfather Part 2 is as good as the first. I watched it and though my favorite character wasn't in the movie due to a tragic toll booth death (Sonny), i still enjoyed it anyway.",10 So long and minutes pass by with no plot and nothing to catch. Seems to me Tarantino wanted to make a movie but had no idea what to make so why not just bring tow of the must celebrated actors in Hollywood and put in all the mishmash of movies he has seen in his entire life and make one!. Although I enjoyed the outstanding performance by the tow actors especially Brad Pitt but take their names of the equation and you'll have a movie with no Halo effect.,4 "Talk about just writing stuff up cause its cool, then having no clue how to tie it all together, season 3 will probably kill this show, unless the can do a stranger things 4 and lift it back to standard. Season 1 - 9/10 Season 2 - 8/10 Season 3 - 2/10.",6 "This movie had potencial, but i dont know why they just over do everything, Is so overwelming with the explotions...really a bad movie",2 "I think this is one of those cult movies that set the tone for Delhi common man theme. All the actors did a wonderful job and complete justice to the amazing story. Kudos to all the folks involved in making this movie. Whenever I like to binge watch a light hearted sensible movie I watch this one. Superb movie and a masterpiece.",10 "I've never read the comic, so I don't know about the adaptation, but the actors are fine. The main character is done very well and the supporting cast is good. The main downvote is because of the amount of violence, some of it quite silly - how is he not more seriously injured sometimes? The constant yammering about whether he's a ""good"" guy or not - carried over in season 2 to a ridiculous level - is unresolved. I guess it's left to the viewer to decide, but there's no guidance from anyone seriously questioning the ""need"" for this violence. I know this is not what people watch this for, and I get that, but this does not advance the overall discussion of this issue at all. The series is basically a fantasy about how to deal with all the crime that ""bad"" folks get away with. The police seem helpless, and people are terrorized. Enter the vigilante warrior, who has no qualms about doing damage to ""bad"" guys, and only bad guys. Is this as far as we've come in the 21st Century? Is this our only solution? I thought we had decided years ago that this doesn't solve anything anytime. We're still left with a phenomenal amount of violence, and, as the end of each series suggests, there's always a new menace. We don't actually solve anything, just prepare for another story about the same thing. I'm quite disappointed that the Daredevil series was canceled and all we got to replace it was this. A step backward, in my opinion. Good acting can't substitute for great story.",6 "Even though I loved watching the story unfold I never stopped feeling like this movie had no point. Did I enjoy DiCaprio and Pitt? Absolutely! Did this movie had an actual plot? No...it as just a story with nothing happening. Don't get me wrong. This movie has the Tarantino stamp everywhere (whether you're his fan or not you'll recognise it and appreciate it) which makes it memorable and fascinating. But what was the point?",6 "There is no reason, in terms of story, for Stranger Things to take place in the '80s. But the '80s atmosphere - the dial phones, the chain smoking, Winona Ryder - are there to clue you in on the inspiration for this movie, which is pretty much every supernatural movie from the 80s with a focus on kids. E.T., Poltergeist, that sort of thing. The wondrous thing is how dead-on this tribute. It's not just the clothes and hair, but the style of acting, the scripting approach, the structure, all hold true to their inspiration. You've got the young nerdy kids, the horny, unsure teenagers, the monster, the mysterious one with the power, the bad science/government people, the conflicted investigator, the tearful mom. You could argue that this entire season is simply a pastiche made up of recycled elements, and I wouldn't disagree, but it really feels less like a copy and more like something of that era, as though the writers had fallen into a coma in 1985, woke up and got to working. While it doesn't have the high style of the Spielberg films that are a primary influence, it does have the likability. The story is consistently engaging and fun, the acting is excellent, and the movie has sufficient laughs and tears to satisfy.",9 "Setted in a world where superheroes are superstars, which public image and activities are controlled by a mega corporation, that takes major decisions for them. The face of the company are these 7 heroes: as any other job, they needed to pass an interview, they have a contract and need to respect some PR policies. I was honestly expecting a funny parody about superheroes movies, in fact some costumes are clearly inspired by famous characters from Marvel and DC, but in reality this series is much more. It is a deep analysis of our society and what people can do in order to reach their goals, disregarding completely any law, any common sense and any moral, especially if they become famous. This is perfectly represented by Homelander, a manipulative and egocentric person and his other colleagues, that in order to cover their mistakes, will take controversial decisions. A group of men called The Boys, will try to stop this abusive behavior, in every possible way. What I really appreciate is that superheroes this time are villains and humans, are the real heroes, how to turn cards in an efficient and creative way. It is the most original stuff that I have watched regarding superheroes since Watchmen and The Dark Knight Trilogy by Nolan. Don't get me wrong: I like MCU movies, but they never really push boundaries, Marvel and DC decided to realize ""family friendly"" movies lately, and that's okay, but after you watch a couple of movie from the MCU or from the DCEU, you basically watch all of them, because they are always the same thing, so when finally networks do something different, I am always happy. Let me be clear: this is NOT a series for everyone and there are many, many sequences that are really hard to watch and process, so approach this series carefully. Of course there is the right dose of comedic moments, but most of them fall under the black comedy humor category, and may offend someone. The series will is composed by 8 episodes and they just flew away. Never felt bored once. Even if you don't like superheroes, I would give it a shot, The Boys might surprise you.",7 I am a huge fan of marvel movies and yet for some reason this movie left me with an empty feeling when i walk out of the movie because honestly this movie probably has the worst action scenes out of all the marvel movies not only can you hardly tell whats happening but black panther is invaluable so there is zero tension i was also wanting to see Michael b Jordan's villain character perhaps bring something new to the table and brake the trend of forgettable marvel villains but unfortunately he is just another disposable bad guy whose master plan is you guessed it take over the world i cant even remember any of the other characters names because there are all basically the same just warrior woman or warrior man i suppose the one thing keeping this movie from being bad is the world that they establish is kind of interesting and black panther himself is still a cool character but if i hadn't already seen civil war i have no idea if i would still have that opinion also the what are those meme makes it into this movie for some reason and i almost walked out of the movie right there if you do not already like black panther this movie wont change your mind,3 "The people responsible for glamorizing such a serious issue should be ashamed of themselves. Anything for a pay check I guess. As someone who struggled with suicidal ideation and multiple suicide attempts, this show sickens me. Tbh, I couldn't make it very far through the first season. I wanted to watch it so I could make an educated review, but the triggers were too severe. Be careful watching this if you've ever struggled with any similar issues.",1 "I felt compelled to submit my first IMDb review after seeing the film today and looking at the IMDb rating and some of the reviews which have been posted. Nolan has been praised for his gritty realistic portrayal of batman, yet chooses to focus this last film on a giant cartoon bomb with huge digits counting down to destruction. WOW... Social, moral and political issues are hinted at but never truly addressed, instead mind-numbing punch-ups and chases play out with inevitable conclusions.",4 "WandaVision (2021) : Not a great start for Marvel but surely different and certain to be called Decent. I am not a fan of TV series nor i have seen much of it till date but this Marvel series came in watchlist because of MCEU's franchise films. So, WandaVision is as funny as it could be and that's completely different from what we've seen in Marvel till date. Except for this shocking element there's nothing to hype it and no matter how much fanboys exaggerate it, the neutral audience gonna show them the real world. Well, i belong to the neutral club so here i am telling the truth, no hatred, no fanship, no soft corner or anything like that. To be frank and i am not being too harsh but we gotto wait for the upcoming episodes to see where it's heading to? Useless speculations and verdicts are pointsless at the moment. For now enjoy the comedic homage to past sitcoms and wait for the next episodes. The first episode of WandaVision is more humanly funny than the second one whereas the second one has got better humour than the first one. I was bit disappointed with the conclusive parts not being strongly held but thanks to the typical romedy that makes it enjoyable. Overall, a fun ride helped by good performances, old-humourous dialogues and crunchy editing. RATING - 6/10* By - #samthebestest",6 "Here we go without any spoilers, terrible acting, boring, story isn't great nor is it original in any sense. Is this Jennifer Lawrence's worst role yet ? See for yourself...... Maybe taking a break will be good for everyone, the sooner the better unfortunately we'll be seeing Jennifer Lawrence play in Xmen yet again even though she looks nothing like the character nor does she like wearing the makeup for it either.",1 Watched the film and it reminds me of a kids movie. Don't get me wrong it was pretty good and it had funny parts in this film,6 "Now You See Me could have been a good movie if only the writers team, or should we say the lame duck team, took the trouble to do their job correctly. The story is just a big, little clear catch-all, riddled, from end to end, with quite flagrant incoherences, and punctuated by, probably, one of the worst twists ever. Indeed, this twist is ridiculous because totally unbelievable, it doesn't produce any effect on the viewer, but most seriously it instantly annihilates the credibility of the film as a whole ! And it seems like a dream when, just before, Morgan Freeman serves us up with a totally absurd and unrealistic demonstration... having to explain an outcome, above all in such a didactic and unsubtle way proves well that the script doesn't hold water. This quite incredible failure of the story inevitably cripples the movie, which anyway only possesses two assets that are its dynamism and its cast, except the unbearable Mélanie Laurent who makes one grammatical mistake every three sentences and seems to be reciting her lines more than anything else, and Jesse Eisenberg who seems stuck in his Zuckerberg role, mumbling all the time. As for the cinematography, it isn't fundamentally bad but very cliché — as the soundtrack — with, for example, a lot of circus shots, a technique Leterrier used and abused of, apparently as little inspired as his writers.",3 "How do you recognize a bad jazz musician? Simple, he is trying to play a theme. Once he actually finds something he thinks it is worth improvising... he exploits the same to endless misery. This is the entire premise of 24. Somewhat original idea, whose authors dived in self-pleased pool of complete mediocrity. There is nothing really going on inside that time framework beside sterile, cloned and boring storyline. Cheap hooks that trigger further exploitation of their targeted ""patriotic"" viewers. I've managed to endure several episodes of the first season. This is the new generation of series that does much more then just offer insignificant value to their viewers. It deliberately shapes patterns of completely ""emphatic"" environment and sociopath characters that are naturally presented as normal.",1 "This is my first review because I am totally against most of these low reviews about this show. I am old enough to have been able to watch the original series in re-runs but I didn't... more of a Star Trek AND Star Wars fan.. that being said, this is a great show! I am an avid TV/movie watcher and don't understand what people these days are looking for in entertainment. Critics shred most of the tv/movies made now (which I don't pay attention to) and then there is the rest of us, who post whatever we want, no matter if they actually give anything a chance. This show is a new version, new stroryline, and all around new basis of an old story premis. Watch it past the first couple of episodes to get to the ""meat"" of the story. The acting is good, the story line is good, and it is different. It's ENTERTAINING. That's what it is supposed to do entertain! So many shows die before they get started because EVERYONE wants to be a critic now but won't watch the whole series and then give their opinion after 20 minutes of 1 show. So I would say to the mass of low review watchers and to new watchers give it a chance. Watch more than the first episode with a new mindset of a NEW story and watch it through at least 3 episodes. It's highly addictive if you look at it with a fresh perspective on an old story. And get used to this people, the way Hollywood is moving this won't be the only re-make/re-boot of an old storyline that we will see coming our way.",9 "Full of fun twists & turns, well done but preposterous at the end (really? A guy with a suicide vest strolled through London?)",8 Understand that this one is second instalment of trilogy movie. But still many flawes and corny acting happen despite good CGI.,5 "I really liked this movie with one exception, too much unnecessary comedy. I liked how they spiced it up with all the giggles, but some of it was just too much, and it retracted from the seriousness that Iron Man is supposed to be. I also heard that black widow was useless, and her character was necessary. I was at first upset that she didn't have the accent, but it would probably conflict with Rourke's character, so its acceptable. But overall the acting was great, especially on Rourke's part, and the FX were great. And to be honest, I like Cheadle better than Howard as Rhoades, they should have gotten him in the first place.",7 "This movie made me laugh, and cry. It was a beautiful commentary on sexism and the patriarchy and how it affects little girls, while still poking fun at it all. It also spreads a really inspiring message about mothers. I personally wouldn't show this movie to a child TOO young as there are a few jokes about how barbie's don't have genitals, one bleeped f word, and a few mentions of beer. It was a LITTLE depressing, but overall very inspirational. Despite, of course, the discussion of misogyny, I laughed through the whole thing. It was hilarious. It addressed also how adult women/mothers feel self conscious about not being perfect. It was beautiful and I'd watch again.",10 "No spoilers - though I do make reference to characters and known parts of the story (book and film) being present and absent, without going into the details. In many respects it is complete, albeit a little unresolved at the end. Such a pity it doesn't however go into other aspects of the complete story. We get Red Dragon and Hannibal feature heavily, without Clarice Starling however, and sadly no retelling of the Silence of the Lambs. It begins prior to Red Dragon, to further explain Hannibal Lecter's working relationship with the police, manipulation, and so on, while also working in some of the Mason Verger back story into those parts, making the Hannibal book story work, but for some reason or other they seemed unable to include Clarice Starling and Silence of the Lambs. There was some talk of progress forthcoming in that regard, but it all seems to have now been dropped entirely. As such, you could just watch this, and then when it finishes go into The Silence of the Lambs movie, and have it all end right there. You probably wouldn't want to go into the Hannibal movie however, quite simply because elements of that story pop up in the series. I've given it 8 stars rather than 10 because it wasn't able to fully embrace all parts of the overall story. I suppose there were some issues with rights, and all that, though I'm not really sure - can only assume.",8 "I cannot understand why there are so many votes of 10 for this series. I found it an absolute slow moving bore. The lead character was constantly on drugs and a alcoholic. Even taking pills to boost her before the games. I know I am not a lover of chess and this never made me one. As for some people saying this has a good music score I'm sorry to say but you obviously think songs comprise a music score in a production. Music Scores are the base of many great movies and songs were never used. All I can say this falls into the same category from Netflix as REBECCA and the other tripe they have put out this year.",1 "Billy Hope (Jake Gyllenhaal) is an undefeated boxing champ. Both him and his wife Maureen (Rachel McAdams) are orphans from the system in Hell's Kitchen. He is getting harassed by upstart Miguel Escobar. They fight in the lobby and one of Miguel's men shoots Maureen killing her. Billy is distraught. Facing a financial squeeze, manager Jordan Mains (50 Cent) convinces him to fight. He loses and gets suspended. He also loses daughter Leila to Child Services. He seeks help from trainer Tick Wills (Forest Whitaker). Jake Gyllenhaal gives it his all but he's overwhelmed by an overloaded Kurt Sutter script. He has more tragic turns than Job. Granted, it is almost entirely his doing which only makes Billy more infuriating. He's a meathead which doesn't necessarily fit Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal does get his anger. He throws everything and the kitchen sink at this character. So does director Antoine Fuqua. There is no denying the power from the pairing of Fuqua and Gyllenhaal. The script overload may be exactly the wrong idea for the duo.",6 "I haven't seen the original series, so I have nothing to compare this to. But all in all, I think it's a good show, great visual effects and lots of action. Sure, some of the acting is a bit corny, but I've seen a lot worse. If you compare this to either the newest Star Trek, which is utter garbage in my opinion, or The Orville, which is even worse, this comes out more than decent really. Netflix is doing a great job, if you ask me. I've only seen the first two episodes so far, but there wasn't a boring moment and a good sci-fi is hard to come by these days. I would highly recommend it, if you're into sci-fi.",8 "This was an incredibly long movie that is in dire need of some editing. There was in particular a scene at a wedding with long sweeping camera shots of faces of actors that we may or may not recognize(mostly the latter). This aforementioned scene was of no use to the plot. The film has numerous other instances where famous actors are showcased for one scene that adds nothing to the plot. The fantastic soundtrack, which so much an integral part of Scorsese's previous films, is absent here. I wanted to love this but it was a film in need of a soundtrack and editing to make it flow.",3 "I read all witcher books, played all games etc. I really like books and games aswell. So the point is that story is based on books, but its actually not even close. The writing in this is just bad. Why would you try writing smth new if you can just adapt book story? Visual effects are bad. Like come on man, its not some indie studio or fan made series, it's Netflix and ot still sucks. Fighting is ok, i guess, depends on how you look at it, but i liked got way more better. Henry did a good job, i liked him, i also liked bard (idk how to spell his name in english), but everyone else are just bad. So idk if you watched same series guys, it seems to me that you didn't. Sad thing that they won't change much in season 2 and it will be as bad as first one.",3 "Historical revisionism, ignoring racism, just a plain bad movie only thing it's accomplished is to lead to some great memes. Worthless nostalgia.",2 "This series has no business being called Lost in Space. It has no resemblance whatsoever to the Irwin Allen production; even the most collapsed outline view of the storyline doesn't match up with the plot in Allen's original series. This is a blatant attempt to capitalize on the name to lure potential viewers, and in return Allen's estate gets a cut of the ill-gotten proceeds. It's also a poor excuse for a science fiction series. It should more literally be titled ""Dallas in Space"" or ""Secrets in Space"". The entire storyline is predicated upon multiple characters keeping secrets and being dishonest with each other. The writers have created a ""player versus player"" story, where once again humans are their own and only enemy. It could have have been an interesting story about ""player versus environment"", had writers and producers and executives with any intelligence and depth been responsible... but none were. Instead we get this depressing and mediocre story about humans in some distant place keeping secrets from and lying to each other, and generally threatening each other. Even the vague good guys in this situation lie and keep secrets, convincing themselves it's ""for their own good"". The only honest creature in the story isn't even human. Humans are indeed their own worst enemies. We don't need to be reminded of it, we need an escape from it. This series is no escape. It wallows in the mud of humanity and drags us down along with it.",3 "This miniseries about a policeman with PTSD assigned to protect the British Home Secretary is worth a look and May hold your interest, but suffers from inconsistencies in acting, directing and especially writing. Keeley Hawes is excellent as the politician but Richard Madden struggles with his character, mainly thanks to poor writing. At times all immediate and insightful, intelligent action, yet at other times he has to contend with overlong brooding takes where he comes across as a constipated version of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Performances by supporting cast are good to ordinary. The biggest problem is the story line, which has plot holes all over the place, some of meteoric proportions - see some of the other reviews here. To try to keep you guessing, the direction attempts red herrings which are at times so contrived and obvious it insults the viewer's intelligence. Still, it's fundamentally an interesting idea and story and it had enough to hold my interest for all 6 episodes. Overall 6.5 stars.",7 "there is no doubt that Hollywood is a factory of deception and lies to serve its own agenda,to measure a movie is a relative task, and each film has its own good and bad moments, and not every choice is simply a film without question, Ben Aflack's latest film once again proved with no doubt how Hollywood is tainted with political purposes,and how a very ordinary movie with hundreds of flaws and shortcomings becomes the most beloved choice. once again the credibility of movie factory in US is under question, may be more than ever, but the subject remains is the same,another 3rd world country is victimized by some people who choose Aflak as their front face (and nobody bothers to question that),the story is watery and tasteless,the act is so bad that in some parts it looks like an out of comic book performance,directing is full of mistakes and flaws,,and while claiming it is a based on true event,the fact is missing through the film,and above all the scenes are unbelievably phony and unreal,they did not even bothered to offer a basic resemblance to real locations.",1 "I was looking forward this new show and The Witcher was sort of disappointing. First of all, boring (I fell asleep during first episode...), uninteresting and sometimes confusing plot, poor script, uninteresting characters, average CGI, average fighting scenes with some flashes of good choreography, and average acting (bad casting?). Cavill is doing a really bad job. He acts like a wooden doll. No gestures, no feelings, he moves always like a bodybuilder in a muscle contest. Seriously, I do not understand the good reviews for this below average sub-product.",3 "Great story, but plot is way too slow. Daniel Craig's fake accent is strange. I really wanted to like this movie. But, it just wasn't captivating enough. Although I can't say exactly what shouldve been done differently.",4 "As both the hero and villain are entirely and clearly CGI there is no threat to them, never any impression that they are in danger or actually injured/harmed. Treat it as a special effects demo or screen saver and it's quite impressive, as a movie charging people to watch it, it's very poor. The plot is thinner than tissue paper.",2 "The film started well with the introduction of all the characters at a glamorous venue. It took the form of an elaborate murder mystery scenario and for a while it was jolly good fun, with some good visuals. After the first hour or so, however, it dropped into a flashback thing which explained some of the background, but it went on for a crazy long time - something which might have taken 5 mins max in an old style film felt like it went on for half an hour, with no visual enhancements, and it dropped off a cliff for me. It eventually recovered into a good finish, but I am struggling to think of another film that evr dropped the pace in the middle for so long!",7 "The first time I watched Now you see me I considered it to be my favourite film, it felt complex, so many twists and turns, how the team incorporated technology into their tricks/heist type things were awesome but then I watched it a second time and it was pretty hard to watch There was no mystery to drive my interest, and that seemed to be the primary aspect for which the film relied on, in most other aspects it ended up feeling blasé. The monologues of the characters (and there are a few, so if your not into that, it may not be the film for you) felt shallow and basic, the characters were ok, but nothing particularly special. The only thing that kept my interest in any capacity was the sci fi technology used, and even my interest in that was severely sapped as most of the interest in it was routed around the mysteries of which were mad no longer mysterious to me. Main takeaway - great the first time, but don't rewatch it and don't watch the sequel.",5 "What a shame they lost their way making this one. I find it hard to quantify why this one has none of the charm or the high stakes of the first one ... I suspect it's because they spend so much time trying to lay down for us the character of Carnage that they forget to actually tell a story. OK, so, Carnage will drill a dog to death, but he still is able to love his GF to the ends of time? Seriously movie-makers, you have to make your character believable.",1 "Think about all the events that happened in this tv series in the context of quantum and Einstein's theory of relativity. In short, quantum is about all the possibilities that can happen in the reality. For example, parallel universes have different what-if scenarios of real life. For example, in the universe A you are a male human but in the universe B you are a female cat. Et cetera. And Einstein's theory of relativity is about... well relativity of reality so for example you look at the sky during a clear night and see a star shining brightly but the star has perhaps long gone but its light just reached to you so you think star still exist when it's not anymore. In that context what you think happened now sometimes actually happened in future and sometimes what happened in the future happened in the past et cetera. In this tv series, for some reason, the universe is buggy therefore what normally shouldn't happen happens perhaps because the end of the universe is coming and this is how armageddon is or perhaps because of a different reason which I'll mention at the end of my theory or perhaps this is how it's supposed to be if certain condition happens in real life. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the future has already happened so we are like in a train reaching a particular destination but also there are a lot of trains in this reality so all these trains reach to their own different destinations. All trains are on their own different tracks. But imagine what would be like if there is a train inside of a train which normally doesn't happen? It would be like what happened in this tv series. But the thing is, imagine a train left its track and started to move on a different track by getting inside of another train and therefore missed its destination it should have reached. I think that's the reason for the time loop happening in this tv series. So it's like the universe trying to make a particular future happen so the reality can continue to exist as how it should exist but because a particular future that had to happen didn't happen, another universe is created which I'll call it a pocket universe (universe inside of a universe (train inside of a train)) and this pocket universe will continue to exist as a reaction of the universe for making a particular future happen in the universe. Perhaps we gotta stop thinking the future happens because of the past, therefore instead, for now, we should think the past happens because of the future hence why the time loop happens until a particular future happens because without that future the past events can't happen. So let's start from the basics: How many universes there are in this tv series? There are 5 main universes: -In universe A, Nadia and Alan are still alive which in this universe past events happen before the time loop. So, kid Nadia and her mother are alive in this universe. -In universe B Nadia and Alan are dead because this universe came into existence after Nadia and Alan died in universe A. -In universe C time loop happens. The universe C was created when the time loop started. -In universe A1 there are Nadia from universe C and Alan who is from universe A. -In universe A2 there are Alan from universe C and Nadia from universe A. So I think in the exact moment when the time loop started, for some reason universe C is created inside of universe A therefore past events are happening in the universe C but future events didn't happen but I'll assume universe B exist. What are the facts that are valid in real life which can be used to explain this TV series? Energy never just disappears, they just transform into another type of energy. Opposite energies attract each other. Everything exists because of its opposite. What did I notice? I noticed certain objects are connected with other objects and I'll even consider kid Nadia, current Nadia and Alan as objects. For example, Alan's fish is connected to Alan and Nadia's book, mirrors, kid Nadia, etc. Are all connected to Nadia. Why do certain objects disappear and appear? I think every time Nadia and Alan dies, a new universe C is created because a certain future has to happen so universe A can continue to exist in however the way it should. But I think universe C is created by the objects that are related to Nadia and Alan. And it seems like the next universe C is created according to what happened in previous universe C therefore what happens with the objects changes every time a new universe C is created. Like for example, Nadia's cat disappears but sometimes it doesn't. So don't think it as time rewinds when they die. They die but as a result, a new Nadia and Alan are also created. It's just that, their mind is also copied and pasted into the new Nadia and Alan therefore they can remember what happened before they die. Why their mind is copied and pasted to their new self is because a new universe C using the objects to create itself by using the previous objects from universe C that also universe A have. Objects are all connected to each other in energy level because they all share the energy field generated by Nadia and Alan which this energy field generated by their emotions. The thing is, also a new type of universe B is created every time they died like universe B1, universe B2, et cetera. Then why objects disappear and appear? I think there is a dream-like logic here. For example, you can't drive a car and your dream will end when you try to drive a car if you never drove a car before because your brain doesn't have the necessary ""objects"" to continue the dream. So I think characters die every time they do something they wouldn't because the universe C doesn't have the necessary objects to continue the reality. How they die is really dream-like as in normally such stuff shouldn't happen like how it happens in real life. The reasons that kill them are always by the objects that exist in universe A and therefore they exist in universe C too. The thing is, when there was no more ""make sense"" way to kill Nadia, her kid self started to appear so Nadia can have a heart attack and therefore die. And when Nadia resisted having a heart attack by seeing her past self, a sharp glass piece appeared inside of her so she can die. What else I did notice? The objects have emotional meanings for Nadia and Alan therefore they have the power to affect the universe C. Like for example mirror, fish, kid Nadia, et cetera. There is an undeniable relation to emotions and objects in the TV series. For example, Alan's fish disappeared after he forgot to feed it and it came back when Alan realized his fish is gone. It's like Nadia's and Alan's emotions changes how new universe C will be because the new universe C is created by the objects from the previous universe C. In that context, I think that's why mirrors disappeared and kid Nadia started to appear because Nadia started to talk about her past. Nadia probably wanted to forget about mirrors because of her past therefore they disappeared. How/why Nadia and Alan are connected? When the time loop started Nadia was sad and Alan was happy at the same time and when Alan and Nadia died, Nadia was happy to see her cat and Alan was sad at the same time. That's some connection they have in common other than they are both human and they live somewhere close. But their opposite aspects are more important than what's common about them because opposite stuff attracts each other. For example, Nadia is a free spirit so she does whatever she wants but Alan always limits himself. So personality-wise they are very opposites. It's like, if Nadia and Alan had to be electricity: Nadia would be + and Alan would be -. But you know there is a 3rd charge in electricity which is 0 charge, then who could be this person? There is one more thing common about Nadia and Alan: They both died indirectly because of one person in universe A. This person's name is Mike Kershaw and he is the 0 charge person. His personality neither positive nor negative and how he affected Nadia's and Alan's life is how 0 charge affects + and - charges. Reminder for what Mike did to make Nadia and Alan die indirectly: Mike went to Nadia's house with her which by doing so he just changed Nadia's destiny. Mike has an affair with Alan's GF so because of it Alan suicided. Pay attention to the fact that Nadia and Alan got out of the universe C when Alan made his peace with his GF so he won't suicide because of Mike. Also, I think they would return to universe C if Nadia died because of Mike and because Alan couldn't save Nadia. Why Nadia and Alan die at the same time? The only logical idea I have is, Nadia and Alan are so opposite but somehow they are the same kind of energy type, they attracted each other in a way they became one. Perhaps universe C couldn't happen if they didn't become one because everything exists because of its opposite. Why Nadia and Alan start the loop in a particular moment? It's because it was the last time they were both happy at the same time before they died. Why Nadia and Alan from universe C ain't in the same universe anymore? Because in the last universe C, Alan made peace with his GF but Nadia and Alan died before Nadia fixed her issues about her mother. You mentioned ""perhaps because of a different reason which I'll mention at the end of my theory"". What's that? Well, in many religions parallel universes are believed in by many people even though some of them ain't aware what they believe in is a parallel universe. They call these universes ""hell"" and ""heaven"" et cetera. They also believe your spirit as energy transforms into something else or your life energy transforms into sprit, et cetera. So perhaps when you die, your energy transforms and creates a pocket universe and therefore you are stuck in a time loop.",1 "I watched each season of this show in a day long sitting after each was released 12 months apart. Season 1 is easily a 10/10, it really hooked me in, so much that I had to complete it in one sitting going into the morning of the next day. Season 2 gets an 8/10, while still a superb show to watch, for me it doesn't quite posses the same qualitative impact as the first season. This could have been because the shock value of the first season has worn off or due to the long delay between seasons. I would strongly recommend re-watching the first season before watching the second season. Much of the second season refers to the first season, so having a fresh memory of the first season makes for a much better viewing experience in the second season. In my opinion this show is not over the top and unrealistic, I am still young enough to remember my school days and high school in particular. This is not as unrealistic as some reviewers have commented. Bullying happens everyday in many forms and girls did get raped and it was sometimes swept under the carpet by school administrations. Parents are often ignorant to what happens to their children and not all of it is their fault. Teenagers just do not always want to tell their parents what is going on in their lives, no matter how hard the parents want to be there for them in difficult times. This is an unfortunate truth that parents and society have to face. The season 2 ending leaves open the door for a season 3, and personally I am not sure if I am happy with that or not. Time will tell.",9 "The main thing letting the show down was the clear subplot that was removed (probably in light of the pandemic) that left a lot to be desired for story behind the main antagonist of the show. Aside from that, it personally wasn't too politically heavy, the action scenes were very good although could've used a few more/longer scenes. People feeling ""alienated"" by some of themes of this show are really showing their true colours.",9 No questions about that is not goodly shown our respectable country #bangladesh. Next time not try t do this! No good at all,1 "The first half of the movie was pretty good, I had a good time and I was enjoying it, the origin of Shazam was well explained and it was funny. Unfortunately, it focused too much on the hero which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the villain had too small screen time, which leads me to the second half which is just bad, the villain is bad and you don't understand why he's doing what he's doing. The soundtrack in the movie was classic action theme, nothing too exciting. The final fight was just bad, it was too long and there was a surprise which ruined the final fight I think. End scene before credits was pretty funny, then there are two post-credit scenes. The first was heavy plot scene, the other one was just funny. I think it's pretty good family movie but not action movie.",6 "My only conclusion is that Roger Ebert has sold out and really doesn't Judge movies. First and foremost the movie I am talking about is Spider-Man two, A movie that has been advertised as the greatest super hero movie ever by one of the ""Reputable"" critics in the land Roger Ebert. I will Not make the mistake and judge the movie by the comic books it is a mistake often done and I don't agree. What I will say is check out Spider-man since it is one of those critic proof movies and it won't matter what I say. When you see the movie though look for these things NO SPOILERS AHEAD. One see if the beginning does,t do a great job of setting up a premise advertised on every poster and commercial shown ""CHOICE"" after that see if half way the movie just forgets the beginning and adds just foolishness, some comical scenes that take up time instead of tieing together the movie. Second, check out the production value and see if certain this are left out to make spider man more plain or vulnerable Power wise, rather than adding actual plot twist to combat it. Third towards the end watch as the plot and the characters just become flung towards the ends of the universe, as point and main objectives of the movie aren't met or questioned. Last check for very predictable and boring points making spider man a two bit B film with bad effects to boot, they shoot many seens shadowy just cause when day light hits the scene looks power. Spider Man is a poor attempt to show what an everyday super hero would be. Instead much like the director who did Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban it only shows the limitations of the people directing and producing these movies. It is obvious their imaginations or budget did not match what these stories truly needed. On top of that the wholes created in the plot just to move it along for a sequel is disgusting and pathetic, part of that comes from me reading the comic, Guess Micheal morbius, Mysterio and others will not be there Bye Bye KRaven, but away from the comic it just makes the movie feel awkward and rushed. Spider man 2 was more like a montage of swings and short fight scenes than actual movie scenes and footage. I am sure people will like it no matter what but it you go in there and watch it with an open mind you will see that it is very poorly done and Sam Rami is out of his element. STICK WITH HERCULES AND XENA!",5 "Glass Onion further proves Rian Johnson's impressive credentials, matching it's phenomenal predecessor in it's quality delivering an equally strong sequel that tells an equally complex, funny and endlessly unpredictable narrative that's designed for multiple viewings and is easily the best film to be set during the pandemic. Daniel Craig is perfect as Benoit Blanc, bringing back that beautiful accent and all the humour whilst still reminding us that he's a truly good person. Janelle Monáe is the best out of the new cast, she shows so much range and makes for a great double act with Craig. The rest of the cast are all really good at making their characters unlikeable and easy to laugh at but the strongest is Edward Norton whose clueless billionaire tech giant feels like a perfect and deliberate contrast to his iconic Fight Club character. Rian Johnson's direction is excellent, the film surprisingly has a high amount of energy in its constant camera movements and is really good emphasising it's star power through framing. The music by Nathan Johnson is also really good, with an eccentric bombast rarely heard these days.",10 "This show's always a hit or miss for me. I really have to be in the ""mood"" to enjoy this show. It's actually pretty good in certain aspects. A corky ensemble cast...all stuck in community college together. The stuff that I kind of find weird is the whole sci-fi/pop- culture reference thing with the show. I actually thought it was cancelled but decided to binge watch the last two seasons. It's definitely taken a turn from being an office spin-off. I really enjoyed seasons 1-3. An ex-lawyer must go to community to college to save his career. I like the diversity of the cast plus Chevy Chase playing in a sitcom is great. The new season's gonna be a little odd without Chevy Chase, Troy, Shirley or Abed. At least it's on a netflix platform.",6 Thanks Anurag sir for this diwali gift. This is a true cinema with vivid characters plotted on the game of Ludo. Everyone have given best performance. Must watch movie.,10 This film went nowhere fast. Like 2 seperate films. I never liked films which use comedy in very serious matters. So many dead ends. Some great names in this film so such a waste of talent.,4 "Loki isn't nearly as bad as all of the negative reviews. It's not nearly as good as the 10-start reviews either. I think a 7-star is fair for this series. The concept is original, but I did have a few problems with it. First, was unconvincing character development....our lead morphs from a callous villian to a love-struck hero in a matter of a few episodes. Second, the finale was so dull and anti-climatic, I actually fell asleep about 10-15 minutes in. Overall the show, up until the finale at least, kept me engaged and interested. Writing, acting and production quality were all very good. Not the worst offering by Marvel, and worth a try.",7 """sex, lies and videotape"" is exactly about what it says, but frankly, the film could have been titled ""all about sex"" since the lies are all about sex, and don't get me started on the content of these videotapes. Steven Soderbergh Golden Palm winner, and game changer on the field of independent film-making, is certainly one of the most intelligent and insightful depiction of sex as a 'relationship issue' as any other movie, that it does so without being graphic at all is a credit to its maturity and straight-forwardness. And ""Sex is overrated"" is one of the many golden nuggets the Oscar-nominated script contains, even more fascinating since the line is echoed by an admittance of impotence, a weakness seldom confessed by men, but which creates the strangest though slightly anticipated bond between Graham (James Spader) and Ann (Andie McDowell). She's an introverted and complex woman, he's an old college friend of her husband John (Peter Gallagher), who just came to town. At first, Ann is angry and shares her bitterness with her therapist, expecting to be the passive observer of boring dinners where the two reminisce about girl and football. But while John is your typical cocky and womanizing lawyer with suspenders in his shirt and tricks under his sleeve, Graham has no job, no house, he's a long-haired young looking man, oddly detached from the casual responsibilities but weirdly interested in people. Graham asks the most private questions to Ann at their very first encounter. She detects his awkwardness but we suspect she's glad that he's not like John. They talk about marriage and she says she enjoys the security of it, for all his defaults, John is a good provider, but there's something shy and self-conscious in the way she says it that reminded me of Liv Ullman's in ""Scenes of a Marriage"". In Bergman's masterpiece, I never forgot that line about marriage only working if ""fidelity went without saying"", as if the colossal edifice had to be rooted on blind obviousness. But every film that involved dysfunctional couples proved that no matter how supposedly strong they were, marriages failed because of things taken for granted, things that went without saying. And the first signal that the relationship between Ann is John isn't just that John is having an affair with Ann's own sister Cynthia (Laura San Giacomo) but that even Ann instantly opens herself to Graham. Remember that exchange between Homer Simpson and the new neighbor, Ruth Powers, when he's tiptoeing around to ask a private question, and she eases the task by saying that she would like to be fixed up with someone, because she has ""normal appetites"". Homer gets the message but still makes sure she's not talking about food... twice. Sex isn't the easiest subject to handle but once it's done, it becomes the key to open the Pandora box of a marriage,. But the film doesn't explore the theme of infidelity rather than the way 'sex' is used to as a mean to convey or conceal the sources of your own insecurities, it doesn't reduce people to sexual attitudes as much as it expands the value of sex as an existential catalysis. Ann is an over-anxious person whose mind is obsessed by situations she can't have the control on, she's full of empathy and therefore can't express any desire unless it's directed toward someone else, she's not frigid but she's not attracted enough to John to satisfy him. John and Cynthia are more 'common' lovers, John is lawyer, a running gag informs that it's the first lowest form before liars, he screws people and dominates his wife by having sex with another woman, it's part of his persona. So is Cynthia whose ego is flattered as if she was finally getting the satisfaction of indirectly owning her sister, like the family slut winning over the goody-goody sister. Still, this is not a film that invites us to condemn people, it only tells the magnitude of sexuality as what is says about our inners struggles, our desires, our weaknesses, things that warm, block or drive us. And the most fascinating character in this quartet is Graham. At first, he says he's impotent but by saying he can't have sex, he's allowed to record sexual confessions of women on videotapes which gives him considerably more power, status-wise. Ann manages to confront him in a scene that is a masterpiece of writing, pushing Graham in the corner of his odd fantasies and unable to answer for his lust... and admit that there's something indeed pathetic about him, but not to the point of not needing help. He might be his first 'victim'. Steven Soderbergh's writing is one of great subtlety and realism, it only sins in the portrayal of the husband John, he strikes as a two-dimensional character compared to the three others, and the way he gets his comeuppance doesn't do justice to the originality of the movie, there's one 'detail' you could see coming and it didn't quite work but apart from small little flaws, this is a remarkable portrayal of adults caught in tormenting relationships and trying to find their way to slip through the net. It is also served by fine performances especially from James Spader who won the Prize at Cannes Festival, and Laura San Giacomo. This film should have had the same resonance as Mike Nichols' ""Closer"" in 2004 with two acting nods for Spader and San Giacomo, they're the best thing about the film. Now, I'm not the fondest on remakes but I suspect the content of the script is so relevant and universal it would fit the digital era as well, I can imagine a ""sex, lies and Internet"" tailor-made for the 2010's, where lovers, chatters, deceived husbands would drown their sorrow by sharing their insecurities to the first listening 'ear'.",9 "We love A.S, funny or not, he's skilled! The storyline however was flawed, too many angles and splits that made the movie feel diluted and flimsy. When the movie came to an end the viewers are left with a sense of ""what was the point?""",4 "Death note at first was a great anime as it introduces you to a whole new idea and seems very captivating. Later on throughout the story, it gets really boring and the ending is terrible. The whole concept of a chase mystery genre was a great idea but if they didnt make it so confusing and made a bunch of plot holes it wouldve been much better. Like its a good anime but definitely not on the level as high tier anime like the big 5. Its comparable to some short anime like tokyo ghoul or sword art online which are fantastic anime but comparing it to top tier anime its nowhere near its level",6 "I've never been a Scorsese fan but I wanted to watch this one for its de-aging technology approach and the buzz, it did catch my eye with the trailer. However, this 209 minute is an absolute chore to sit through, an exercise in in self-indulgence and patience testing. Whilst the performances are all fine, it's embarrassing watching a facially de-aged Robert DeNiro move like an old man when he beats up a guy, the cringe is real. Even my mates, die hard Scorsese fans, found this an absolute trek to sit through and I felt the same. An afternoon wasted watching this. Shame it'll probably sweep the Oscars.",4 "If the movie is not shot in Dhaka, Bangladesh so how is it possible!!! BANGLADESH is not such a country the way extraction movie presented. The language used in the movie isn't Bengali language, actually it's a mix of Hindi and Kolkata language. Director has not even a minimum Idea about Bangladesh army, navy, RAB, swat, ssf, etc. Without having a minimum Idea of the particular shooting place should not mention the name of the place. Director could include at least one or more actior or actress in this movie. So, I am very much frustrated seeing the movie.",1 "Naomi harris's hair is just one issue for me. Its silly but I couldnt help but wonder.. how all those years later her hair was long, big, neat & beautiful .. Like I say..if you know you know. And yes it is a silly issue. Well how about her old as the hills boyfriend Woody the legend Harrelson? Someone in casting needs firing. The biggest issue as others have stated, is its a boring standard hollywood marvel movie. The irony being that the best movies are being made away from the greedy clutches of Hollywood execs. The marvelites will score it a 10 because they are children. In age and metaphor. But its definitely not a 10. I dont believe in protest scores or scoring a 1 or 10 because Trump, guns or a bad word is mentioned, because thats how a child behaves. But I will score down due to the sheer laziness of the writers who have so much money and opportunity at their fingertips. It is a very very well made terrible movie. Big name stars like Hardy, Harrelson, Harris and one of my favourite actors Stephen Graham do their best but cant save it. Look out for Scroobius Pip and little Simz and a small Cameo by Reece Shearsmith. I cant be bothered writing any more.",4 "Poorly written source material that was even more poorly adapted and handled by the worst acting I have ever seen. the script is is full of holes and Clichés, its panders to people who fetishize victimization.",1 "Hollywood was never famous for telling the truth. But Argo is just not a very good movie. It is straight-forward, predictable, with no depth at all, dull dialogs (except for very funny John Goodman and Alan Arkin), non-authentic in terms of shooting location, pseudo documentary shaky camera to increase the drama, full of stereotypes and clichés, for the most parts just pathetic, and of course with clear political message who are the bad guys (and how they look like). Nevertheless, it hides behind the quasi political engagement the fact that some movie actors are simply not good movie directors (similar to Angelina Jolie's first movie). And it shows that judgment about a movie as entertainment is mixed-up with judgement about foreign policy of the USA.",5 "I am simply stunned (but I should not be surprised anymore) how in the world and with right reason does Argo even get nominated for any Academy Award, let alone win Oscars, including best Motion Picture? Ben Affleck must know the right people in charge, etc. and that is all that really matters for him to win again this trophy. The integrity of the Academy Awards once again is at stake. I simply cannot understand it anymore. I wonder why folks like Sergio Leone, Peter O'Toole, Liam Neeson, and so many others have won nothing for their role in a film at the AA. O well! As far as the Argo flick itself, I will not give it away, but judge it for yourself and ask if it is better than A Most Wanted Man (2014)?",1 "This is well crafted, engrossing, entertaining, intellectual, and a psychological head trip. It's perfect right up until the last minute.",9 Wasn't a big fan of the book but was hoping the movie would be a bit more gripping. Unfortunately it seemed to be very similar to the book. Maybe I shouldn't have been so hopeful but was looking for the movie to somehow incorporate a little bit more action and intensity. But if you liked the book you will probably enjoy the movie. I enjoy watching most movies but found myself wondering when the movie would end because I already knew the story and the movie wasn't very entertaining in my opinion. If you don't like action but enjoy a decent story line then you may enjoy it more than I did. Leonardo DiCaprio is one of my favorite actors and he did a good job in this but because I felt the movie didn't really go anywhere I didn't enjoy the movie much at all.,4 "This movie is a so dreadfully clichéd that you can almost say the words spoken as the characters say them on screen. It seems like the script was written by a 12 year old boy, and the choreography by an 9 year old. Gets 2 stars because it was so cheesy and ridiculous that it actually became quite funny. My family were genuinely confused as to whether it was meant to be a comedy or not.",2 "The law of diminishing returns strikes again with this outing. Yes, it has its moments, but as seems to be the case with many films of late, drags out the story. It could have been told far more concisely and retained the same degree of entertainment value. The regulars all play their part admirably enough, but an over complicated plot, and some poor screenwriting cannot be glossed over by a few high energy chases. By the end, I was reaching for the fast forward, just to get to the end of this excruciating offering.",5 "Unfortunately, this movie doesn't live up to its potential. There is too much dialogue and the plot is hard to follow. The weakness is the plot itself. There is simply not enough story to stretch out over the entire runtime. The cinematography, acting, and set design are top notch and that is why I gave it five stars. Unfortunately, that is not enough to make the movie memorable. I think the biggest problem, and this is something Hollywood seems to have these days, is that they over dwell on today's problems in historical times, to the point where the most terrifying problems of those times get nearly overlooked. It's hard to learn from history if we continually rewrite it.",5 Horrible acting and fake accents. Had to stop watching after I figured out I was just grinning at almost every scene and not enjoying Daniel Radcliffes hangover. Skip this one!,1 "Extremely poor writing, editing, CG, action, direction, and character building. Exactly like a B grade film with lack of continuity or maturity. Skip without second thought.",1 First of all the idea was just genius and the way represented with the layout is impeccable. This is not a kind series that makes you what to complete all at a time but it is really interesting in its own way. And for those who likes the thrillers this is just gold for them.,8 "Entertaining yet typical Michael Bay movie. Good action that reminds me of a Deadpool without costume film. Predictable with a few bloopers just in the beginning alone. I like some of the angles Bay took in filming this. A bit over the top on some stunts but plausible on most scenes. All said, entertaining.",6 "Such a boring, cookie cutter script. What a tedium, what a previsible plot EVEN with all the absurd ideas included just to make it feel modern, inclusive, multicultural. It's amazing how bad cinema can be when big data is all that counts. Listen... I love cheesy movies. But this is a different league.",4 "This movie had nearly as much contrived heroism and maudlin emotion as ""Armageddon"" and nearly the same goofy-damsel-in-despair as Sandra Bullock's earlier movies but without quite convincing me that it was an acceptable use of my 82 minutes. Thank goodness it wasn't any longer. WTF were the Cuarons trying to do with this? Did they add anything? I couldn't tell. I guess George Clooney added his winning smile and another big name on the marquis. The only good thing I can say about this movie is that it had a few sequences decent action. All things considered, though, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except for 13-year-old girls who are hardcore fans of both ""Armageddon"" and Sandra Bullock.",3 "I love sci-fi shows, even the bad ones I can usually watch, but this is a whole new level of bad. Do not understand why shows continue to employ such bad writing, then give said bad writing to bad actors, with the expectation of success.",1 "I mean its not Bad , the first episode is great the second is good and the last is also good. But between that there is 3-4 episodes thats really sucks. And get me out of the story. I feel like they should have make it a 2h movie, woulg have been an Amazing movie, why Always ruined story with too Many hours when you dont have much to tell. Like Chernobyl only good episodes are first and last make it a movie !! Anyway I Hope this mini show will get people and woman into Chess. Because spoiler in Real life woman dont play Chess!",7 "Great movie. Laughed a lot. Mostly I appreciated they made a film for people who think, for adults, and not for those who think they've got everything figured out already. Once they made movies like this regularly, now not so much. Unfortunately, there were not a lot of people in the theatre, but I hope that changes - it should change- this movie disserves a crowd. Which is why I am writing this. Wonderful actors - everyone was great - who ever cast the film should be given an award. Also, the writing should be awarded, a great script. Highly recommended this film (obviously I am recommending this film). Hope it wins lots of awards. Its brilliant. What can I say, GO GO GO and GO with no expectations - forget this review and other, just GO with fresh eyes and ENJOY.",10 "I started watching it with an open mind. I noticed: good acting, amazing soundtrack, nice environments, overall excellent production value. Even the story is fascinating. But still I was getting very bored, dont know why because it has very good production value, its like the story has no drive, anyway I stopped watching halfway.",5 "This is one of those films that leaves me actually annoyed. Why? Because with an outstanding cast the end result is far less than the sum of its parts. I had no issue with Daniel Craig's southern accent. I think he was thoroughly enjoying himself throughout. Others, such as Jamie Lee Curtis, were totally underused. Having Ana de Armas' character vomiting whenever she lied was a pretty silly idea. But what the film really lacked was genuine intrigue and a great big twist. Seriously, an episode of Poirot holds more, or either of the very good Sherlock Holmes reboots. No point seeing it at the cinema.",5 "Great acting. Good cinematography. But what for? I was looking for a storyline till the very end. Found none, though. Fans will be adoring it. Critics as well, they always adore what they do not understand. And there is definitely nothing to understand.",2 "The series is about a murder in an expensive piece of residential real estate in New York called The Arconia...or at least our three strangers turned podcasters think it's a murder, the police think it is a straightforward suicide. The three strangers, played by Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, all live in the building and are brought together during a fire alarm because of their love of a true crime podcast (the podcast is done by a character played by Tina Fey), everything is not ok in Oklahoma. When the three of them discover there has been a death in the building, they decide to come together to solve it...and naturally do a podcast about it. Amazing cameos and wonderful melancholy storylines...everyone seems to be hiding something, which is a great set up for a who-done-it. I loved the characters and I thought the casting was excellent - I had never heard of Selena Gomez but I loved her in this. It is very light going with a scattering of jokes and mild drama. There is the odd speciality episode like the one without any spoken dialogue. Other reviewers have stated that, although alright, this is not as great as people make out. Technically they are absolutely right - it isn't ground shattering stuff. But as a fan of the likes of ""Monk"", ""Jonathan Creek"", ""Rizzoli & Isles"" it feels like there has not been anything new in the same vein for quite a while. This is good, honest, light, sleuthy fun and the smile on my face as I watched every episode justifies my 9 star rating alone. *EDIT SEASON 2* Season 2 starts of very shaky with some clumsy attempts at humour that don't land and Amy Schumer stomping through the middle of the plot like a bull at a tea party. But by episode 3 it is all back on track Well done! 54 out of 76 found this helpful.",10 "I guess 'Free Guy' has a high rating manly because of Ryan Reynold's charm and because it's about the video game culture. But it really wasn't nothing new or fresh. So you're better off watching 'The Lego Movie' which is kind of similar in a way, but funnier and more heartwarming.",4 Never seen a bollywood war movie like this one. Story is based on a true event. Music is awesome. Acting is mind blowing. Specially Vicky Kaushal.,10 "Save for the amazing suspense that it creates, for a survival thriller set in a post-apocalyptic world Susanne Bier's Bird Box is just another polished up plastic story of a chance family running away from an unknown beast this time here to spook humans' visual senses. TN.",5 "The movie shows bad habits and inspires young people to hope for something like this. Easy money, scams, no moral, no humanity! Maybe use the movie as a bad example. I do not understand why someone would like this movie? This movie could be liked by people that were born with a lot of money, spoiled and search for new ways to be amused. For the rest of the world, we have another important thing, called life. And in order to live, You have to work, be honest, try hard, no cheating, no shortcuts... That's my opinion. Leonardo di Caprio has a few good movies but lately a lot of bad ones. I believe that there are people like this, but I have no idea how do they live with themselves. It is not the life anyone should hope for.",2 "A poorly written and failed attempt trying prove they can be like GOT yet do it better. 2nd episode in and I can not connect with any character and I am still waiting for something, anything really, to actually happen. I could find more excitement from Grand Maester Pycelle coughing through the lineage of House Frey than I do at any point in this series. Shame on the directors, HBO, whoever allowed this pathetic excuse of a show to be aired. You wasted our time, money, and the one opportunity we all had to immerse ourselves once again into the world of Game Of Thrones. As much as I absolutely hated how tv GOT ended, at least it was exciting, immersive, and a great story, albeit in a horrible direction unlike the House Of The Dragon has been so far. Its just more and more talking with no emotion, everybody seems week and hesitant to speak up. How TF did they get into such a high position at court acting like spineless, chinless Freys all the time. I mean come on!",2 "Annoying story and horrible music for the film, However Adams Sandler's performance was excellent",3 "Seems practically everyone in this series has issues. Series mostly drags, but not as bad as others. Usual romance subplots, eating, drinking & family issues. A bit unrealistic in that in real life most people are boringly normal w/just everyday shopping level issues. I suppose if the characters in these crime series were accurately portrayed nobody would watch. The usual police/detectives have personal and/or family problems except in this series it's a bit more extreme. The usual interdepartmental friction. Forensics slightly better than usual. We actually get crime scene yellow boundary tape & gloves & a medical examiner, but all just briefly. Lots of misdirection which is the primary hook in most crime series. The usual least expected quickly confesses at the end.",4 "There are two reasons why most people would have watched this show. Firstly, for our King in the North being the Lead and second, it's being marketed outside UK as the highest watched British TV series in recent years. But I guess the reason for high views is actually the first reason, Richard Madden. As it's obvious, he plays a Bodyguard and he nailed it. Whether his stoic expression while on duty or his progressive PTSD in private, he does a splendid job. Kudos to the writers, for writing a intricate plot with a multitude of threats in a sensible manner despite a few loopholes here and there. Richard's character PS Budd must be having a hell of a time dealing with them all. The police procedurals were intriguing to watch. But what's wrong here is it feels too monotonous. Not the bingewatch type of show. Even the clever twist at the end doesn't impact much. Overall it's a decent political thriller that's worth a watch.",7 "First off, the people who complained Nolan's masterpiece, 'Memento', was too hard to follow are going to want to kill themselves trying to follow this one! This film is much like 'The Matrix Reloaded', all concept and no real climax or conclusion. Unlike The Matrix Reloaded, we don't already know there is going to be a sequel coming next summer. Leonardo DiCaprio is having the same issues we've already seen him deal with earlier this year in Scorsese's' brilliant 'Shutter Island'. It's Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character who is too cool and I would have liked to seen more of. Ellen Page is great and the best scenes where with her, I really would have liked to have followed her character around more, as she learns how to be a 'dream architect.' We get glimpses of awesomeness but there are too many things going on, all at once, for us as an audience, to put our emotions into. It's impossible to find yourself on the edge of your seat when a film has this much going on! 'Inception' build and builds, introducing new concepts and ideas for so long that by the time the action begins, minds are already invested in trying to figure out how 'Inception' works instead of being fuelled with adrenaline to cheer on their favourite characters. Our minds are set on getting to the conclusion so we can figure everything out but the action sequences seem to never cease and we are torn between a deeply intense psychological thriller and a James Bond-like action flick. The people in the theatre with me did not leave happy or satisfied. They were tired, burnt-out and confused as hell. This is defiantly a movie strictly for Christopher Nolan's fans and lovers of 'The Matrix' sequels. The ideas are great but there are enough concepts here to make 3 films. It's too much for an audience to try and follow everything that Nolan has going on in this one single film AND actually feel something for his characters.",6 "The show itself as stand alone is not that bad, but is ruined by mediocre actors, average CGI and as told many times by now, bad wigs. Not to mention some casting choices that follow a certain agenda and does not fit the general picture. Review made after watching the first episode, let's see how it goes. Oh, and the use of the original soundtrack when credits ended was a dirty cheap trick.",6 "Not much to say, other than: fantastic television all round. Excellent performances, gripping story (obviously the fact it's a true story helps with that), well told. 5 episodes that leave you wanting to know even more. Will definitely re-watch from the start while it's still available to stream",9 "Highly budget, Great script. Especially Henry Cavill's performance was perfect. Cinematography of the series was very good too and Fight scenes are brutal. in a nutshell Great CGI, Sript and Directing. You have to watch it.",6 "If you're a teenager, you'll probably love it. Especially when you have the thing every month.",3 "One of the best movies I have ever seen.... A must watch movie especially as humanity is slowly disappearing these days. You won't be able to resist shedding tears after watching the bond between Dharma & Charlie.. Great example for Loyalty, Love & Humanity..🐕",10 "This isn't exactly what I thought it was going to be...I have watched it more than once so I could really appreciate the path the movie took me on... at the first watch I was disappointed, but after thinking about the movie, the journey and the story, I have come to appreciate it and after the first watching enjoy it when I watch it each additional time.",6 "Normally, I would have fun watching movies, but a long time ago I realized that most of them are not in movies but in propaganda. In this video, the dictator in the Muslim country alone has added to the Turkish country.",1 "Right away I couldn't get into this. IMO I think social media and extreme gaming have taken the soul out of the masses. That said, this movie is probably great for the vapid, stoned, anxiety ridden kids. Kids being 8 to 35. Also, this is a Disney flick. Disney has ruined it's brand in recent days. It's kinda sad actually.",3 "We all have been dumped and we all have dumped someone. This makes it already easier to understand the main characters. But what helps it even more is the fact that the characters are very well done. Jason Segel is great in his part. He is sweet and vulnerable. Sarah's character is great as well because she is not done as a ""monster"". Even though we feel for Peter we still can understand her. This is what makes me like this movie so much, the characters are human and not just ""good vs. evil"". Not only the main characters but the supporting ones are great as well. It is full of awesome and funny actors. A special mention deserves Paul Rudd. Whenever I see him in a new movie he plays a different kind of character and always with a great success. I like also that the movie has a great balance of comedy and romance. It is not too sentimental and one gets too laugh a lot. Aldous's music video and song lyrics as well as scenes from Sarah's TV show were in my opinion especially funny. My only problem with the movie is that the ending was too long. It went on and on and on. The last few scenes could have been done much faster, it actually feels longer than it was",9 "Only good thing about this movie was the acting. The music I hated but recognized that it was a smart way of catering to the interests of the current generation. The visuals though, there is no excuse for how god awful some scenes were. I don't know if the cgi was intentionally out of place but for someone who doesn't usually notice cgi, it was distracting and shocking for 2013. Now for the plot. I haven't read the book, but I recognizes this new narrative they were spinning for this movie. It's the conventional mainstream hollywood love story tragedy. Would I have loved to see something more thought-provoking and actually stuck to a philosophy and theme? Yes. There's a reason high schools made kids read this in English class. But I can appreciate this movie to something that caters to the masses, pure candy-like entertainment that everyone can enjoy. And I think that was the goal for this movie. They made Nick into a more relatable audience surrogate, put in some trendy pop tunes and let the cash flow in. I feel like DiCaprio's talent was wasted with this careless movie. But hey, whatever sells, right?",4 Devs is an interesting series. I think it could be better with less dead space. The one singular thing that almost made me turn the show off for good was the music. Whoever was in charge of the music should have been fired and never allowed to work again on shows/movies. I say this because it all started in episode 1 where the sound person decided to use 80's Lethal Weapon style horns/sax and it was awful. Not only did it take away from the story it was overbearing and sometimes startling because they kept turning up the volume on that track. The next episode I was thinking it would be better and the horns were gone but this time there was a scene where they had the music track so loud you couldn't hear what the characters were saying. So because of the music and the very slow story I couldn't give this a great rating.,5 "Venom: Let Their Be Carnage Overall this movie was good, not great but certainly worth watching, of course the first Venom was so brilliant it was always going to be a hard act to follow, a maniacal scientist is difficult to beat as the enemy of all things good. Well this time they went with Woody Harrelson who played a deranged serial killer, good but not quite an equal adversary of Venom. What were the problems, The story was thin, very thin, I never ceases to amaze me how studios run with an idea when a classroom of 14 year olds would come up with 20 better suggestions that were more imaginative. Unfortunately there was a lot of style over substance. Venom's adversary needs to be majorly different from him for variety. Stop introducing the same characters, believe me the viewing audience can cope with change. Overall I really liked the movie and it was Tom Hardy that I really liked, the rest was mostly padding in a continuation of the first movie. However it was well worth seeing, I'm giving this a firm 6 outta 10.",6 "Even friends can be your biggest enemies. Captain America: Civil War is behind ""Iron Man"", ""Winter Soldier"", and ""Guardians of the Galaxy"" of being the best movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Or MCU for short). The movie has it's flaws, but that doesn't stop me from liking it. I don't know about you, but the Captain America series are the only movies in the MCU that actually get better with it's squeals. The action, the effect's, the humor, the characters, and it's stunt work has improved from the first movie. What this movie dose so well is that it's really hard to pick a side, because both sides have a very good reason to be at each others throats. One minute I'm rooting for Tony, and the next I'm rooting for Cap. It's conflict like this that I couldn't decide for myself on who side I was on or who was right, but that's just the fun of it. Tom Holland as Spider-Man might be one of the best adaption of the character that we've had. Sony studios has made over five Spider-Man movies and the two actors who played Spider-Man (Maguire and Garfield), did their very best of what their got, but didn't quite capture the character that we know and love. But the Spider-Man in this movie has a screen time of 30 minutes or more, and Holland managed to capture the character so perfectly that it makes Sony studios look lousy. He was excellent in the role and I would go as far to say that he was a billion times better than Maguire and Garfield (In my opinion). I can't wait to see more of him in ""Spider-Man: Homecoming"" that's out next year. Speaking of good casting - Chadwick Boseman was pretty damn awesome as Black Panther. Boseman can basically play anything and I'm not kidding you when I say that, as he played Jackie Robinson, James Brown, and now Black Panther. Chadwick Boseman has some crazy talent and him as Black Panther was spot on casting. I'm looking forward to seeing his solo film coming out in 2018. If you thought the stunt work in ""Winter Soldier"" was outstanding, then wait until you see the stunt work in this movie, as it was just....INCREDIBLE! All the heavy praise belongs to the stunt team for this for doing the impossible. Now for the problems: Daniel Brühl is a boring villain. I honestly can't remember much about his character in the movie and that's because he was pretty forgettable. That came across a bit too harsh didn't it? It really sucks for me to say that, because Daniel Brühl is great actor and sometimes he can be the saving grace for a movie that's either good or bad. He wasn't awful or anything like that, it's just that I didn't find him treating at all. Martin Freeman is a great actor and I'm glad he's getting more meaty roles, but he doesn't do anything special or interesting in this movie. Yes, I know his character is probably going to developed more in the next movies, but my problem here is that he really felt out of place in this movie. At times the movie itself completely forgets about him, so every time he popped back up on screen I was like ""Oh, Martin Freeman is in this movie, I totally forgot about that"". But that's just me. The story was a bit meh and there was a little bit too much quick cut edits in the fight scenes that I couldn't get all that infested with. Now don't get me wrong, I like the airport fight and the Iron Man V Cap fight, because those scenes didn't have stupid quick cuts and I could easily see whats happening. I think it's the hand-to- hand combat fights that are too cutter for me to see what's going on. That's just my opinion. Overall: ""Captain America: Civil War"" lives up to the hype of being a great superhero movie and being a good movie on it's own. Marvel is having a great track record thus far- with the box office success, great reviews, and many upcoming spin offs. Civil War is most likely going to win every fan boys heart and it's not hard to see why.",6 Awesome film really inspiring & Oscar nominating movie...heart touching & Very emotional kind of masterpiece...needs to watch everyone & please adopt atleast one doggy.,10 "I didn't know it was getting so normal getting breast argumentation nowadays. I haven't seen one set of real breast in one woman in this series. But that must be the reason for the high reviews. Equality ladies, equality.... YAY....",1 "I have just finished seeing this movie, so i will express my opinion although nobody ask for it and i have no professional training that recommends me to issue such an opinion, so there it goes: Ø Really bad visual effects; Ø All the actors seem to be in constant pain, or suffering; Ø Poor development of the characters story; Ø The plot, actually the whole subject of this movie seems to elude my intelect, i feel like i am in the middle of a story, without understanding, the theme or the motiv/reason for anything that happens; Ø And on a more personal note, what is Colin Farrell doing in this movie anyway ?! Should i expect in the next part of this movie, to see in the background JCVD (no disrespect intended ) running around like a blind bat with a gun in his hand?! i am just saying.... But as an overall it was a fantastic experience, (the Niffler was such a really cool dude) so thank you for this movie. P.S. I absolutely loved Colin Farrell in - In Bruges (2008).",3 "Growing up The Lion King was one of my favourite movies. I must've watched it a thousand times. I know the dialogue off by heart and every single word of every single song. It had humour, heart, intelligent dialogue, a fantastic soundtrack & amazing voice acting. I had such high hopes for the remake. I mean they had amazing actors, Jon Favreau directing and James Earl Jones as Mufasa! Alas, the only thing this version has going for it is that it looks spectacular. It's like the only thing they were focusing on were to make it look good and didn't care about the rest. Everything that made the first movie great has been left out of this one. The jokes fall flat, the dialogue has been dumbed down and the voice actors seem to have been chosen for their musicality not their acting skills. The only saving grace of the movie is John Oliver as Sazu who gives back a little bit of the heart of the story. And Pumba and Timon is not too bad either. If you're a big fan of the original, DO NOT waste your time watching this version!",2 "First of all movie wasnt contain much logic. Sorry to say acting also not that good. And most annoying thing is the soundtrack, background music is totally trash! There wasn't a good story. But story doesn't matter if the screenplay is meaningful. It was, but failure goes to the director. Lastly it wasn't worth hype. I wasted my time.",4 I laugh my ass off watching this film. So many scenes that are funny that really should not be but I'm guessing that's just my warped sense of humour.,7 Another great Nolan film. This is a good version of Gravity. In the end you are like what did I just watch.,7 "Make it short: it is a anime with Nice Storyline but way too much talking, every single though from evey single character is inside the dialogue. Dialogue aside it is a nice watch but definitely not a nine or ten rating.",8 "Since the 90s, J.P. Dutta has ruined war cinema for hindi films. The overly dramatic, passionate screaming and sentimental yearning for those left behind at home just became a cliche that was hard to shake off. Farhan Akhtar's Lakshya was the sole anomaly in this genre that was relatable, relevant and exemplary in its story telling. The advent of a new age of visionary artists who were past the phase of concocting stories with heroes larger than their characters has finally led to justice. Aditya Dhar's research on the Uri attacks must be thorough because there is no sensationalism to convince us about the events. Political agendas, media coverage and public sentiment are kept at subtle levels so as to keep the viewer engaged with the characters and their motivations. A fictional account of the operation and its preceding events it may well be but make no mistake; Uri showcases the Indian Army's tactical prowess and therefore, is a heavy action film. Major Vihaan Shergill (Vicky Kaushal) has a proven track record of a successful surgical attack at the Myanmar border with his precise planning and execution. His ailing mother (Swaroop Sampat) keeps him posted in the Delhi headquarters, away from other action in Kashmir where his brother-in-law, Major Karan (Mohit Raina) is making the family proud. It is easy to invest in these characters with the sincerity depicted by the actors and the viewer's acute sense of what is coming. The Mahadev actor Mohit Raina, especially creates an impact in a few scenes as he takes charge of the camp's defense against the terrorist attack. Sprinting across the screen, dodging bullets and determined to kill the attackers, we root for this army hero to save the day from devastation. The film's title makes a timely appearance at the end of this intensity only to stir you at the Army's memorial service for the fallen soldiers like no tragedy has since Rang de Basanti. The attack was especially personal for Major Vihaan who motivates his commandos with a powerful element apart from their extraordinary individual capabilities - Rage. The encounter during the surgical strike is a visceral manifestation of this anger that is accurate enough with one bullet but there is no hesitation to portray the ruthlessness with which they shoot each militant more than once. This is a different Indian army that is shaken to its core and will show no mercy. As Paresh Rawal's Govind declares that with a surgical strike, a New India will tell the world that it is capable of not only entering enemy turf but also killing them on it, director Aditya Dhar's follow through on this bold statement is a far cry from the cliche, over-the-top dramatization of J.P. Dutta's army ventures. Precise to the point of the operation's planning, clinical in execution with exemplary cinematography, a tense and pulsating background score and the deployment of all modern arms and ammunition that support the valor of a spirited commando unit, Uri looks and feels like a Hollywood action film in its visual style and crisp editing. It is real, visceral, slick and engaging cinema that makes you respect the technical team that enabled it all. This is a no-nonsense retelling of the events that shook the nation and how the people in power made bold decisions to restore faith and pride in the citizens. The performances by a competent cast are well confined to the tone and emotional depth of the characters in their situations. This is a critical area where a sound technical film can fall on its knees with miscasting and cliche performances but here, even a special appearance by Rakesh Bedi in an unusual role draws chuckles and not ridicule. Such is the impact of a fine cast that includes the likes of Paresh Rawal, Rajit Kapoor, Mohit Raina , Yami Gautam and the most credible Vicky Kaushal. Aditya Dhar deserves a lot of praise for keeping it relevant to the new gen audience that now demands realism when depicting true events. Uri invokes patriotism without the usual chants and long speeches. It trades drama and hyperbole for surgical execution of a script that stays faithful to its topic. The victory song during the end credits is a high voltage anthem featuring Daler Mehendi of course, because who else can better vocalize passionate patriotism. 4.701 on a scale of 1-5.",9 "Oh dear.... Rowling tried to go all political in this new Harry Potter movie but just ended up creating a huge mess with too many subplots.

It seemed the only good-natured character was the woman. Turns out she was fictionalized to ""present the story"", when in reality it was the male nuclear physicist who fulfilled his role - and hers (as she did not exist, and it was him in totality). Can we get a story/show with a strong female character with deeds of her own? If you want to empower women, show us stories with the deeds of real women that have made real changes to the fabric of our existence instead of presenting falsehoods and laying out the fine print to cover your ass in the last episode. What a great show, but overshadowed by the build up of such a strong female lead with her complete destruction in the printed summary before the credits!",7 This is the worst series I have ever watched in my life. The beginning of the series is bad and the end is bad. The cast is bad and the story is bad.,1 "I respect the overall message this series projects. But in terms of the actual TV show itself, it isn't anything to rave about. In fact, I'm left a little annoyed by the misleading scores/reviews which made this out to be a great show - when it's anything but. Characters extremely boring. The villain(s) and their motives don't present anything exciting. The plot -- even for just 6 episodes -- drags out. The dialogue and events are very cheesy. And the action, for which it's supposed to excel in, is C-level. Even the effort I'm placing in writing this review is lazy; simply due to how the series left me feeling after watching it.",5 Fake Russian accent and poor acting for 2 hours. One of the worst movies I've ever seen,1 "A must see for any trash lover. Waiter, is it possible to have a dish with everything?",1 "I didn't care for any of the characters while they were fighting. If they dropped a nuclear bomb on that cathedral and everyone dies it would make no difference. Story didn't engage me, girl just happens to have those abilities without any explanation and what is going with that bite? I mean if Eddie let a good guy bite him it could create a new symbiot child and after that new one more and more. It's just lazy writing lazy delivery.",4 "The best thing about BMB is performance by one man, who gave his everything to it, quite literally. There is something really touching when an actor immensely transforms himself physically to fit a role and Farhan Akhtar does exactly that in this movie. And not only his physical transformation, but even his acting-wise performance is so sincere that I can not imagine what would have been the fate of this project if not handled in a manner that Farhan did. If you are not a Farhan-Akhtar-fan, which quite honestly I too wasn't before watching BMB, then this movie will surely make you one. But a movie, even though it's a biopic, can not leave a lasting effect on you just because of a legendary performance by its lead actor. The movie is too slow, dipping into too much pointless information at various stages, while you will be left wondering- What was that scene for? Did this happen in real life with him too? What is the relevance of that character to the overall plot? After hearing Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's name, just as I did, you might expect a larger than life movie like RDB. But make no mistake, this does not even come close to that masterpiece. Neither plot wise nor in bringing out strong emotions out of a viewer like RDB did. And on a large part, this is to be blamed on a generously unfocused and clichéd constantly-on-verge-of-becoming-preachy kind of script by Prasoon Joshi. Divya Dutta's character is well played. Sonam Kapoor does not do much to the plot, which I don't even think was expected from her character as it's not featured longer than 15 minutes. But one character, other than Farhan, who won my heart was Pavan Malhotra's character Gurudev Singh, who is heart warming and funny at times. Sound track by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is okay, since I didn't find any song memorable enough that I would remember even years later from now, except for one really good one- ""Zinda"". I am not saying the movie is not entertaining though. It does have its moments- funny ones, heart touching ones and seldom even horrifying ones too. But with a script so loose, they lack their intended punch. It's true that a biopic is supposed to detail the main character's epic journey through his life, but showing it in the form of flashbacks into flashbacks, making it more than 3 hours long, putting songs when they are not necessary and giving useless information? Now that's overdoing it. So if you want to know, in too much detail, who Milkha Singh was, only then watch this movie. But then expecting that you won't get bored, well, you can't have everything.",5 "I hate that it is so short because it leaves you wanting more, its style is super fun and macabre, full of adventure and black comedy, I really love what they do with this series.",8 "Everything about this movie is beautiful! The acting, the story and the action! Marvel does it again with balancing out humor and seriousness when it's needed. Some characters like Spidey, Ant-Man, Iron Man and Ant-Man are supposed to be humorous. Meanwhile characters like Black Panther and Winter Soldier are serious! I love just about everything about this film and I trust in the Russo's for the next lot of Avengers films. The Airport fight scene has to be one of the best action scene in Superhero Movie history! I highly recommend this movie as it is Marvel's best movie to date! I was TeamCap before seeing the film and I walked out being torn apart.",10 "I am sure this is going to take an interesting turn, and Disney did well to release the second trailer before everybody just gives up. However, the first two episodes just drag on and unless you're a fan of flat sitcom humour or a hard-core Marvel fan boy you sit through 95% of boredom and 5% of attempts to create intrigue. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn",4 "Each year, there is one movie lauded by the critics as the best thing since sliced bread that not only don't I think is very good, but I truly think is bad. And the winner this year is...""There Will Be Blood."" I honestly don't understand why people adore this film so much, and I was someone who wanted to like it...I'm a big fan of Daniel Day-Lewis. The first two hours were OK, but the last half hour or so was so ridiculous and so over-the-top that it swayed me to give this film a poor rating. I think it's time to officially say that the great ""Boogie Nights"" by P.T. Anderson wasn't the start of a great director's career...it was a fluke.",4 "You can feel the complete nature of this masterpiece/project in every moment, as if you're being motivated, gently guided by a wave toward the finale which is accomplished in complete harmony with the characters you come to know and love-all of them, even the antagonists. I love how certain bare basic still frame scenes convey more than if every aspect was illustrated and animated. The cave of two lovers is without a doubt the most beautiful (and funny) television episode I will ever see. I will never be able to treat a cabbage merchant with the respect all people deserve, except for those that find it in their hearts to admit how hilarious this work of art is. To those who cannot: I secretly understand and forgive you, yet I can only bring myself to say: 'Sell something else.'.",10 "There's a lot of clumsy plot details, and it's hard to get over how stupid some of these people look. If it was one hour shorter, it would get a 5 from me, I don't get why people like this film so much, this one was just meh, it was beautiful to look at but the story was pretty ill-conceived, and I don't think they accomplished what they were trying to do. And it was super bloated, it could shave off an easy 60 minutes, while not everything about this movie is bad, it's definitely a weaker endeavor, and it doesn't help that James Cameron is super petty and rereleased it in China so it would make more money, it's 12 years old. But at least I don't have to watch it again",4 5 stars on for Robert role it's the only thing i like in this movie The story is boring,5 "I was disappointed but it had it's good moments. Scarlet Johansson is excellent in the film, but besides that, it's quite lacking. The tone is all over the place and the film is just not very enjoyable to sit through and quite awkward at times.",5 "This movie gets your emotions going! I hope you all will watch it and think about all humans rights. After all these years it's still very many who gets treated horrible because they are ""different"". You should all gather courage too stand up against evil. It doesn't have to be something big and heroic. Just befriend all sorts of people and be respectful to all and those values will pass on to your kids! This will help a lot. Even if you ain't mean to someone you will create an undesired we and them thought if you just ignore them. So create bonds with everybody and your kids will also do that and sometime in the future we all will get along. Thanks for reading!",7 "That quote form a Gilbert and Sullivan lyric defines this movie's appearance. Remember that particular pleasure of reading Arthur Conan Doyle's intelligent and vastly entertaining stories about a man and his sidekick whose braininess unraveled impossible mysteries that no one else could solve? That man was Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick was Dr. Watson, and neither of the ghosts of those two fascinating and intelligent gentlemen can be found in this lengthy, boring mess of a film that seems to be concerned only with action movie clones so popular today and setting in a period that allows beautiful costumes to hide the lack of story. Michele Mulroney and Kieran Mulroney are responsible for hiding behind famous literary characters to create a script that is likely less than 5 pages long. Guy Ritchie is the star of this noisy piece. Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.) and his longtime trusted associate, Doctor Watson (Jude Law), take on their arch-nemesis, Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris), with the help of Holmes's older brother Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry) and a gypsy named Simza (Noomi Rapace). Now make a movie-long story out of that and you have the second installment (and hopefully the last) of Sherlock Holmes a la Guy Ritchie. The endless fighting on the screen is also populated by some fine actors such as Rachel McAdams, Eddie Marsan, and Kelly Reilly. If the viewer is entertained by the countless costume changes by Robert Downey, Jr. and by some fairly silly swashbuckling by all concerned then perhaps the two hours will pass quickly. But in the end there is simply no story or resemblance to the creations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to warrant plagiarism of his books. Pass. Grady Harp",3 "In my opinion Superbad is one of the greatest comedies ever made. Everything about it is top notch. I love films that take place all on one single crazy day and Superbad is one of the best movies to do this. The three leads are perfectly casted and have amazing banter with each other. The side characters are also all hilarious (especially Bill Hader and Seth Rogan). Superbad also has a great heart to it and not to mention it might be Seth Rogan's funniest script. If you haven't seen this movie, watch it.",10 "I doubt this film will be remembered in 80 years. Its no Wizard of Oz. However, it caught the zeitgeist in the summer of 2023. And made its truly talented female director hugely bankable. Barbie (the beautiful Robbie) goes into the real world accompanied by Ken (an almost as beautiful Gosling) her ultimate fashion accessory, when she suffers from strange un Barbie like symptoms. Thoughts of death, flat feet etc. From there views on feminity and masculinity are explored and the everlasting tug of war and power shifts between men and women. Beautifully photographed with magnificent sets. Both will be nominated for Oscars. The leads are top notch, Robbie makes a stunning Barbie and Gosling a hilarious Ken. What Barbie has done has got people back into the cinemas and revitalised the film industry. For that alone it deserves 10. Well done.",10 "The Matrix is the most overrated movie I have ever seen in my life, the movie includes tons and tons of stupid moments and a lot of plot holes and after seeing the first one I am not excited to watch the sequels but I will watch them just for a laugh.",4 "Good in parts, but found the whole thing very hard work. It will always do well with critics as it's all emotions and acting, but good grief, I had to crawl over the line to finish it. Main credit goes to Paul Mescal who was very good.",6 "The first one were funny, this was average as best, not so funny, no blood typical marvel, i saw it for free lucky me, who pays for those mediocre movies? Not me.",5 "So, I really enjoy crime and suspense dramas. In this case Scorsese reached into is creative bag that contains a single cookie cutter theme, the mob. He rolled out the dough with all the familiar ingredients, a whole lot of Italians, this boss and that boss, those guys you see in every mafia movie ever made, and sprinkled on some auto tune like trending computer deaging technology and shoveled us another batch of the same thing. I do appreciate the straight to streaming approach with this one though, it was a respectable concession to a film that would not bring many from their couches to a theater.",5 "Sherlock a 9.3 rating on IMDb? Am I becoming blind or is there something wrong with me? Because really I don't get what the fuss is all about. When I started watching it I had some mixed feelings but I thought let's just give it a go because it's only 3 episodes per season. I now just finished the second season and I'm completely done with it. I can not stand it anymore. Every episode I'm talking out loud and the only words that are coming out of my mouth are ""Pleassssssssssssssse"" and ""Pppfffffff"". The story is so ridiculous and non believable at all it's annoying. Benedict Cumberbatch (as Sherlock) and Andrew Scott (as Jim Moriarty) do everything in their power to make themselves as annoying as possible. If that's what their character is supposed to be then I have to say they did brilliant work because I do really find them incredibly annoying. The eternal battle between Sherlock and his nemesis Moriarty is painful to watch. They hate each other, they meet whenever they want, and they don't kill each other... Why? Nobody knows. Well I obviously don't get it, because when I see the ratings it must be me alone that doesn't get it. I gave it a four because I want to stay honest and the filming is not bad. If I had to give ratings just for the story then it would be minus four. I'm wondering how long they are going to milk this series until people really start getting annoyed? For me it was two seasons, and I should have stopped watching it before. What a waste of my time.",4 Yes it's really amazing series it's feel like you're on story.,8 "Bollywood is now crossing the much needed borderline with a new thought process followed by its young film-makers who are coming up with some fresh ideas on the screen. This is indeed a welcome change in the Indian Cinema and a wish come true for the Hindi movie lovers as they were all fed up of seeing the same old & rotten plots presented again and again before them in the name of new movies. But ironically the new age wave is still going through a transformation phase where the ideas are no doubt new, but they still are arguably not appropriate for a full length Hindi movie which normally goes beyond 2 hours of duration. Karthik Calling Karthik exactly falls in the same category where the idea is good and the presentation is fine but there are certain facts mentioned below which completely go against the movie and disappoint. 1. It's time we break the usual mould and come up with movies based on some new subjects but of duration much less than 2 hours as required by the plot. KCK is a perfect example of this as the movie is stretched to a great extent post intermission resulting in many unimportant scenes and boredom. 2. Following the Western trend we should surely have an Original Soundtrack for a movie comprising of few songs but what's the use of including all those songs in an experimental kind of movie such as KCK. Here though the tracks are well composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and can be easily rated among their best work of this year. Still they could have been used in parts or in the background score as they do result in a too lengthy movie at the end which is painful. 3. Talking about the balance between the promos and the actual content, we have to be bit careful in that department. In many of the recent projects we have seen that the promos presented before the release are much more interesting and appealing than the actual movie. May be the makers are working more hard on the presentation of their projects and less on the content part. Same is the case with KCK, where the promos were really promising and attractive but the movie is not that pleasing at all. The script writers have prolonged several sequences in the film in order to make it a full length movie and in the end the double identity secret turns out to be a complete spoiler. 4. Actually it's the climax of KCK and the revelation of the second Karthik, which proves to be the main culprit here. The concluding moments of the movie just turn it into a below average flick and ruin all the brilliant build-up successfully created by the director in the earlier reels. The writers certainly should have thought of a different mystery in the end, which could have enhanced the overall impact of an otherwise watchable movie with some good performances. In short, KCK is a worth-watching flick before the interval and simply pathetic in its second half. It's a perfect example of how a few awfully written concluding moments in a script can become the spoil sport for a decent project. Debutant director Vijay Lalwani, shows the sparks of a skillful director who can handle an offbeat subject competently. But in KCK he undoubtedly becomes a victim of a faulty script. The soft romance between Farhan & Deepika in the first hour is beautifully conceived by the director and is the only worth mentioning merit of the movie. I wish, he could have seen the weakness of his climax and rectified it in time. But now as its too late, so he will have to face the consequence for his wrong choices made. Musically the movie is quite rich in its soundtrack as well as in its background score. Cinematography is simply great and highly enjoyable, especially in its opening titles. On the performance scale, Farhan delivers a fabulous act of a loser. He shines brightly both as a weak, shy employee harassed by his boss and in a contrasting personality of a stunner. In fact Farhan's act in KCK can easily be rated much better than his other two movies as an actor. Deepika Padukone surprises you with her natural act and gorgeous looks. Yet her smiling face also seems to be repetitive (reminding her previous movies) to a great extent. Farhan & Deepika form a pleasant pair on screen but you are sure going to miss the witty dialogues between the couple, prominently showcased in the promotional campaign of the movie. Ram Kapoor impresses in his role of a tough boss and Shifali Shah is good as the therapist. Rest of the cast performs at their level best. In a nutshell, Karthik Calling Karthik is a good attempt ruined by it's over length and unconvincing climax. The movie which was very much based on the suspense factor of the second Karthik, loses its track post intermission and fails to impress with an underwritten revelation of the secret. As a result it can neither be termed as a gripping thriller nor as a good romantic love flick. But the movie is still watchable for the dazzling act of Farhan and his breezy romance with Deepika.",5 "I don't want to ruin the party but i guess people are not picky anymore. Not just movies, life in general. They just eat what is given to them. And they don't complain, they ask for more. I guess quality doesn't mean much anymore... ""Stranger Things"" is not the worst TV show. The general atmosphere and the cast are pretty good but it's one of those shows with the obvious and now tiring, Hollywood recipe ! Poor screenplay (story already seen a million times), good actors but poor dialogues (not well written at all), and Winona Ryder... Oh my god, she is just moaning and crying the entire show. I guess Stranger Things hits nostalgic people in the heart but come on, be honest, we are far from Spielberg, Zemeckis, Lucas... the worst is yet to come, as we're gonna get Season two ! Oh my God, you can sense they don't even know where they're going.",5 Every single thing about this show has been overdone. Not sure what they were trying to prove by adding gory scenes and nudity even at places it didn't fit! The actors in the show have acted well. Jitendra Joshi is outstanding. This show is overhyped.,4 "ABC, just go on back to the mental junk food of half hour long strings of juvenile sexual innuendos peppered with near-continuous canned laughter. Based on a mere 2 episodes, I give The Assets an ""8"" for the potential of what might have been as compared to what the major networks are more comfortably determined to feed us. I was hopeful it would continue to hold my attention. A couple of criticisms; the flashbacks seemed a little too frequent and hard to tell when they ended. And regarding Grimes' home life scenes; I didn't care for the stereotypical sullen teen, and Grimes' repeated line to her husband ""you know I can't talk about that"", I wondered how soon that would get tiresome. Those minor annoyances might have smoothed out in future episodes, BUT WE'LL NEVER KNOW! Hey Netflix, HBO, somebody, anybody! The Ames spy scandal is worthy of quality dramatization, in spite of the fact that, yes, we know how it turned out (Titanic, Lincoln, any WWII movie - we knew in advance how those turned out). There are so many true stories out there so worthy of being dramatized; read about Douglas McKiernan, the first CIA agent killed in the line of duty - an incredible story!",8 But not the best one. Story line is good. Acting was very good all actors except the role of RAW agent Radhika apte. She was complete misfit with ordinary acting without making any impact. Locations are good. Some characters like kuckoo doesn't make any sense. There was no need for that role at all. Also the nude scene was unnecessary. It looks like to give international touch they have unnecessarily added the nude scene.,8 "I watched this with my son and was so bored I couldn't get through it. I called the ""plot"" changes before they happened. How can this be called the best motion picture of the year? I'm baffled. I didn't find it remotely interesting. It was filmed well but I expect way more out of a film. This was just a poor attempt at telling a heroic story.",6 "Bad story line, bad and mean situations comedy, i felt like this was a kids movie, the mind flayer is too scary yet its too weak, the Russians? are you serious? L? teens amour? this is so far the worst season, and for me the orst series of the year .. big disappointment",1 "I myself is a massive fan of horror films and I watched this and have to say that it's a great horror, in regards to contribution to the horror genre. The writers have out done themselves as the story is cleverly written! Acting is brilliantly acted. I don't have anything negative relating to this. I watched the first minute or so and the storyline immediately sucked me in wanting me to watch more, initially wanting to see what happens next. And the ending, not spoiling it but such a intelligently done. Very impressed. It's been a while since I've seen a decent horror film. Overall this is well worth a a watch. 👍🏻",9 "By far, Swades is one of the most emotionally overwhelming experiences I have had while watching a film. And I include all of Hollywood when I say that. Swades comes home to me as a very real depiction of life. It would be a fool's errand to fixate the film onto patriotism, for it is so much more. The film portrays all the truths of human life through multiple socio-economic strata. Swades' direction hits that perfect sweet spot, with Gowariker being at the top of his game. Every Camera Angle, every Camera Movement, and even the staging has been done in a way that makes sense to the story. Frequently, we find ourselves in a situation where we are trying to evaluate the reasons why certain directorial decisions were made, but in vain, since there was no intent on detailing. This is where Swades breaks all expectations. Ashutosh's ambitious vision for the project was nailed by the skillset he possesses. And that brings me to directing Shahrukh Khan. By far, after My Name is Khan(2010), this is SRK's best performance for me. Known widely for a slightly over the top portrayal of his characters, SRK makes an archetypical exception in Swades. The subtleties and nuances on the actor's part contribute astronomically to Gowriker's vision of Visual Storytelling. Without an actor like him, it would be hard for a director to convey the story visually, and would have to resort to dialogue exposition. That adds another point to the beauty of Swades which separates it out from its Bollywood contemporaries. Ashutosh trusts you as an audience, and hardly does any spoon-feeding of information. The cinematography, editing, and other aspects are right on point, none drawing the attention away from the story's main objective. I don't know if the use of Anamorphic Lenses was a creative call or just a norm for Bollywood at that point, but it made sense nonetheless. The distortion around the edges added a texture to the visuals which went hand in hand with the story. 35mm adds its own character with the grains and organic colors of rural India. The Music, of course, needs no validation from me. This film represents AR Rahman at the peak of his game as well, which carries forth to his pieces in Jodhaa Akbar(2008), Gowariker's next project. Just 1 or 2 times I felt like the music was being stretched just a bit, but a)That is the director's call, and b) It can really be forgiven thanks to the cinematography and the performances by the actors. Another unique thing I love about Ashutosh Gowariker is that the story practically never halts when music is playing in his films, something that is abhorrently present in peer Bollywood films. This I find to be more or less true with Lagaan(2001), Swades(2004) as well as Jodhaa Akbar(2008), 3 of the veteran director's gems. On a story level, the richness of Swades shows the fervency of the writers to create a sense of reality, displaying how Rural India really is. However, it would be a mistake to say that this is the only theme in Swades. It is a highly character driven film, and does absolute justice at the end when the external conflicts of the character have been resolved, yet he must face the internalised issues. There is a whirlwind of emotions, from Light Hearted comedy, to enthralling visual moments inducing tears. Every character has been crafted till it was fully discovered. I recommend this film to each and every person reading this review. Might end up being one of the 3 most overwhelming emotional journeys of your life. Hope this helps :)",9 "The movie had potential but the editing was confusing, and action scenes became ""noise"". Characters seemed inconsistent and as much as I love Ryan, he was poorly directed. This was a concoction of action in a blender. I expected better.",1 "This is the world we are living in. Where higher ideals become nothing but shadows on the wall in a Platonic cave, when the defenders of those ideals are shackled by the heckles of the mushy side of democracy, where the UN is inundated by those who are let in in principle to honor a fuller spectrum of representations but who are once in become agents who dilute, obscure and block the very fundamental reasons why the UN was conceived and what it was meant to defend in the first place. The strength of democracy is now being cleverly used as weapon against itself by the unsavory to advance their anti-democratic causes. That is what Captain America Civil War is about in a mashed up, comic book sort of way using the US as an analogy of the greater world.",8 "The movie wasn't boring, that's sure. But I think j.k. Rowling hasn't got any ideas. There are only special effects.",6 I watched the whole series in like a day because it was like trending all over social media and turns out I really love it. It goes over every prespective from constipation to first love to distribution of batches normally I don't feel bad about the ending but the ending was wayyyyyyyy too good for a web series. I love jeetu bhaiya what a champ loving him since pitchers. He'll go far . Over all a feel good series which will give you a beautiful nostalgia.,8 "This show is unique. Never seen a show like this even 20 years after it started. This was a show that got my family and friends to sit down every week to watch togheter. There is few shows that can be this action packed for almost an hour times 20 episodes and doing it for many seasons. This is conspiracy theories going real. Even if its action action action it also feels slow paced wich doesnt make you feel its going to fast. There might be some time when the plot makes people do stuff that doesnt make sense, to furter the exitement and plot, but it works. Some of the charracters are also people that would never happen in real life imo. People who do the right thing, sometimes wrong but for the right reasons. Jack Bauer is like 007 on speed with a blend of Jason Bourne. He is the ultimate hero who does all the things others wont do, but he does it bcs he feels its the right thing to do with no hesitation. And he gets nothing in return. He of course have plenty of plot armor but who cares. He is bad ass. This series is also the home of one of my all time favourite charracters. David Palmer. If our world had just one David Palmer as a significant leader the world would be a better place. But this series just reminds me how corrupt the world really is. I cant underline how great I think this show is. Im rewatching it and just finnished season 2. Really looking forward to continuing it. If you dont like it after a few epsiodes this show is not for you.",10 "The multiplexes are already full of American movies and American superheroes. Why make even the Potterverse yours? There have been so many great recent films (In order of disappearance, Intouchables, Death at a Funeral) that have been turned into substandard murrican versions that those of us in what is actually often referred to as ROW (rest of world) are a bit fed up. So J K Rowling gets all CGI-d up and Eddie Redmayne is roped in to play the blithering, Hugh Grant style English chap. Lots of crashy bashy chase scenes and none of the subtleties of the Harry Potter movies. Good if you cant sleep though.",4 After 15 minutes I got bored. Lost my interest and couldn't be bothered to carry on. Maybe I should have carried on but if that is how I felt then it wasn't my type of movie.,2 "Imagine Superman without kryptonite. Bullets bounce off and tanks are a mere nuisance. God smites him, and he just shrugs it off. This is Wonder Woman the movie, and it's boring. There's no character development, as Wonder Woman is already perfect (unlike in the comics). Supporting characters don't fare much better, and are as stereotypically one-dimensional as a cardboard cutout. Bad Germans are bad. Even the main villain seems somehow empty, existing just for the final fight in slow-motion before credits roll. The writing is generally quite sloppy, and the story is filled with insultingly obvious loopholes. Many scenes seem to be glued on only to look cool, and the character's motivations are not clear beyond the general good vs evil. Visuals rotate between CGI landscapes and power poses during slow- motion ballet fights. Pacing is poor, filled with cuts, and many scenes feel artificially constructed. Instead of feeling impressed I felt like someone was forcing ""cool"" things down my throat. It's ironic that the role model praised by feminists is that of an impervious pretty girl with no personality. We have strong women leads in many movies (Alien, Terminator 2, Nikita, Avatar, Hunger Games) and series (Buffy, Alias, Game of Thrones, Orphan Black, S.H.I.E.L.D.) - and they're forceful, independent and charismatic, but also flawed and *interesting*.",2 "Overall this is a great show, one that discusses the potential of the inevitable quantum computing revolution. The writing is excellent, and the last episode actually manages to surprise in an otherwise predictable universe. Now I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but I was rooting for Amaya and Devs the whole series. I wanted the main character to fail, and for technology to succeed. This is partially attributable to the annoyance that is the main character, as many have mentioned, and partially in favor of the United States versus its geopolitical rivals. Any sympathy I could have had for the main character was nullified by the reveal of Sergey's mission early on. It's great to see quantum mechanics and quantum computing being crucial to a storyline, and I appreciated the detail put into the aesthetics of the computer itself. I would and will recommend this show to many, as its whole is better than the parts it's composed of. 8/10, and hoping for another season!",8 "What a show ,it get the viewers attention just as it starts,and i dont think any comedy ,mystery can be better than that ,these three brilliant actors have given us what we expected , truly exceptional show And the mystery of who did this will keep us guessing! What a show!!!!!",10 "Usually love Sandra Bullock - she's tried her best to pull the movie on an extravagant budget and a below average plot line. I was expecting it to be a proper survival movie (I am Legend at best and Resident Evil at worst) but by the end of it, the movie made no sense at all.",3 "Bad acting, horrible sound editing, absurdity taken to a new level. Nice landscapes though...",3 "Being an avid Spider-fan, I took a liking to this movie without question. This time around, the subject matter is totally different; it deals more with the choices we make and what true heroism is: giving up what we want most in exchange for something much more important. The fight scenes were, in their own right, pretty good. Unfortunately, they can never outshine the scenes of their predecessor, so I shave a few points off for that. In the end, I think this movie alone can teach all of us about the lost concept of self-sacrifice and at the same time, give us all an excellent movie-watching experience. 8/10",8 "Okay first... the story is absurd. Sheeran was the forrest gump of the mob? Scorsese does not care if the story is true, but he should.. .because Franks ridiculous life story made for a disconnected movie. This movie is basically a greatest hits of every Scorsese movie... just reshot with a bigger budget and a very weak script. The real issue is DeNiro can't carry a movie, and this story is told from his characters viewpoint. So not DeNiro's strength. Both Pesci and DeNiro were very patient and subdued with their performances... Pesci really did deliver,,, DeNiro did not. Pacino was good, but it was Harvey Kietel who really gave a great peformance.",2 "I would not mind at all if they release a season with just Geralt and the bard having some adventures off the main story, like sidequests... It would be refreshing and fun!",9 "Well, this is the standard modern special-effects extravaganza, with little else to recommend it. Oodles of characters appear, all without any sort of comprehensible introduction. Or if there is an introduction, it's obliterated by the distraction of the special effects. Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) has mastered the sidelong glance (as opposed to the direct look in the face of the other characters), like Caine (David Caruso) in CSI Miami. None of the characters are as engaging or memorable as those in the original Harry Potter series. JK Rowling has cranked own another lucrative yawner.",2 "For those that doubt the value of strong directors, I present: Dunkirk. Dunkirk is a war movie that is less about fighting and more about surviving. And after just watching it, that's about all the detail I've got. Unlike a typical Nolan film, Dunkirk doesn't seem to have interwoven plots within plots. It's basically just a war movie with a different perspective and that's not a bad thing. The plot is straight forward and the characters... I couldn't list a single one of their names right now for the life of me. Which is a bit of a problem because I don't find myself overly connecting with any of them. What it lacks in story though, it makes up for in the AV department. It looks wonderful, Nolan really has an eye for camerawork and framing that is hard to argue with. His decision to keep switching the aspect ratio up, adding and removing those 'widescreen' black bars, throughout the film was clearly purposeful but I found it distracting. The sound. Oh my lord the sound. I can't think of any other movie I've seen where the sound has impacted me so. It's not even the score, it's the effects. When a fighter passes overhead, I felt it. When a rifle fired, I could swear I felt the recoil. I don't know how he did it, but it was remarkable. Unfortunately, all the technical achievements don't completely make up for the 'meh' plot.",7 I thought the two leads were incredible. Bill Murray deserves the accolades and I hope he starts getting more work again. Scarlett plays the ingenue to perfection. She is definitely on the rise; the camera loves her and she has the acting chops to continue. The story to me was lacking. I liked what Coppola was trying to accomplish but I felt substance missing two thirds through. It seemed she did not know what decision to make with the characters. I will say the photography was outstanding as well. I just don't think the movie is a great as some are praising it to be.,6 "(Groan!) Here we go...another attempt to make the world's greatest ""Old England Meets Gladiator"" series!! I get the feeling they did this series only because they could. And, there it lays, in the cold, dank, bloody English dirt! Moving on.....let's get some real entertainment. Let's see what's on The Weather Channel!",3 "I came out of that movie and said; ""THAT, got 6 Oscars... You've got to be kidding!"" (Daughter, 20, liked it BTW). The main character, Sgt James, just isn't believable. He is reckless, in a job where reckless would get you (and probably those around you) killed. (And the censure of your superiors and colleagues). In short, I see the movie as written, and then made by people who have a perception of the military which is far removed from how things truly are. The acting was good, the camera work good, the story line terrible. If a Vietnam era protester who has never been in uniform, would never do so because their values, experience and theories are far removed from those who would, made a movie based on their perceptions, this would be that movie. (Yes, I'm ex service).",2 "I bought this DVD for a friend, as a present after reading various reviews. "" Phenomenal."" ""Funny"" ""Magnificent"". Thought I'd better watch it first. Glad I did. I'll take it to a charity shop. Perhaps I lost something in the translation, (there was an awful lot of Japanese language in the film.) A better title might be, ""Ten good reasons not to visit Japan"". The two main characters seemed bored with everyone around them. Actually they seemed bored with themselves. Charlotte, the girl, had a degree in Philosophy, but Bob, the guy, seemed to do all the philosophising. I kept thinking that I might be missing a subliminal message in this film. Perhaps a lot of lonely people might watch the DVD. Or, better still go to the movie, meet another lonely person and bore each other to death. Reading the reviews, it seems that the intellectuals have enjoyed, but ""the man in the seat"" wasn't too keen. One reviewer suggested we watch it for a second time, so I did. I watched it in ""double time"" and yes it did seem better. It only took 20 minutes to show how bored the two lonely characters were. Sorry, as Lennon might have said, ""No more lonely people"", for me anyway. 3 for the acting and story, and 8 for the cinematography. Bill Murray looked taller in this film.",4 "One of the things I didn't like about the movie was the sound. Too loud at times and was waking me up... Now leaving the joke aside, you can cut me in two and I cannot understand the good reviews for this slow, boring, uninteresting, silly movie. Some funny lines here and there, attractive actors and a beautiful beach. And that's about it. What a disappointment, total waste of my time and money.",2 "This is a wonderful film in many ways. The mental struggle Russel Crowe's character endures is heartbreaking. What a powerful mind, too much so even for life, relationships, and happiness. There are a few twists. Most folks will be able to predict one or even all, but, nevertheless, you are along for the ride with Crowe's character. Even if you are not as surprised by certain story breakthroughs as some will be, the connection you feel to John Nash is undeniable. You want to see him succeed and you want him to just get better. Either way, I consider this film melodrama, with some truly outrageous occurrences that push it into the realm of silly, but, not enough to ruin the overall impact of the film. This film requires your attention for full immersion into the story, but, you will not be disappointed if you put in the effort.",7 "just saw Civil War...well to tell you the truth...more like the title should be ""Marvel Misunderstandings""...don't kid me wrong..I like the movie but did I love it?..is it a 10 out of 10?It's clear this is a film Marvel wanted to make, but why on earth rush into it? One film could never service this iconic plot line. It should have been gradual..It felt like two separate films weaved together to try and make a film that makes sense. But it didn't It's one half a Captain flick/ the other half a mini Avengers film. But they both drown each other out.Some of the positives were the Winter Soldier and BLACK PANTHER! (on point and perfect..saved the movie!!)...the big negative..Spiderman(felt rushed into the movie and cgi was horrendous on him..also weak acting)...Villain in this movie is sub- par(not in Loki,Yellow Jacket,Red Skull level)almost don't even remember him.But saying that I was entertained throughout most of the film..yes... it left me highly anticipating the black panther solo film.The intensity between Iron Man and Captain America was perfection...Robert Downey Jr acting is good as when he first played Iron Man..not like in Iron man 3.In all fairness,is a good movie but not a great movie as earlier reviewers has said.People sometimes need to stop drinking the Marvel Kool Aid and realize Marvel once again made another film that is just a facade of what they used to be.",5 Is a best movie sdkjrjdjjjdjjjjjjjjjdseooeowoorelldlldlskkeijij ie,5 "One of the best series I've seen lately. Analyzing all the seasons from apart every single of them is better than previous one. The ending of the whole story is the best and the way how the direction made it up is even better. Something aditional that we have to worth is soundtrack, it's one of the most highlights attribute this serie has through the seasons and the last one is not behind. Stranger Things is not perfect though, there are few things could've changed in some chapters like scenes that were not necessary in the main story, but it was a great job in general.",9 "The story behind this movie is undeniably boring, as though it never intended to captivate anyone. The all star cast portray un relatable characters which lack any form of excitement or intrigue. It can't be ignored however, that the cinematics are truly beautiful. For those who never watch this, you're not missing out on anything.",3 "Once again, Marvel has proved itself to make good movies, all movies depend on a good script, good director and good producer which Marvel has all three. Those who think BvS is better than Marvel is clearly psychotic, Autistic, mentally unstable, delusional and paranoid at the same time. Dc films except the dark knight trilogy does not however. Marvel films has a good balance in characters and jokes and dark moments while doing all very good at the same time. BvS has shown nothing interesting in particular or potential to expand their universe, watch Winter soldier, and Iron man, they are the best films to be made and the rest of Marvel films.",10 Good action movie. A little over dramatic on the ending.,7 "Fine entertainment, but.....c'mon it could have been a bit shorter. The science is supposedly theoretically sound, but if you haven't got a masters in physics, you might want to do your homework beforehand. The Happy Ending was pre-programmed and the entire thing appeals to our American Idealism, but the greatest film of all time as you may read elsewhere, not quite. But again, entertaining. My only serious gripe is when the town seems to be evacuating in what is clearly an ecological disaster, EVERYBODY can afford gas for their cars? Logic would dictate that if drought is leading to food shortages, the exploitation of crude oil and its refinement and distribution would also be affected. OK, it's a nitpickers gripe, but someone has to pick the nits. A solid 7, and thankfully there's a pause button so a person at some point can find nourishment.",7 "I love Martin as a director but this movie is a joke. There's almost no incentive to keep watching, and I almost didn't finish it. Don't waste your time with this movie.",2 Well I think the only characters that they picked like the game was cirri and the Witcher's horse .yenn was a huge pain in the somewhere and triss and etc. All I saying is for ppl like me who has the graphic experience with this characters it's an disappointment because we actually lived loved and hated those faces when you changed it liked that I feel betrayed.,6 "Ellen Page sucks. She doesn't come across authentic. She's supposed to be vulnerable, but the viewer knows from the beginning that she's a sham",7 I'm not sure that likening the Hitler youth to beatles mania is the best way to introduce this tragic and unfortunate period in our history. Obviously film is subjective and everyone sees something different in it but I don't think comedy is the right medium to use to tell this story.,1 "At first, sherlock was a very witty detective who just solves mysteries in cool and interesting ways and it keeps that going to the end but my only problem is towards the later episodes it just gets confusing and blurry but the show's good if you like analysis and solving mysteries.",9 Compare to previous chapters this is only 4 stars à give. Not John Wick I know. Pitty.,4 I think what if would have been one of the dopest shows ever done if it wasn't animated. I don't know who thought cartoon was a good idea.,5 "This series begins in a strange manner and keeps unfolding each player as the story progresses. It leaves you with questions and answers then in time. It is a masterpiece that was well writen until it loses sight of what made it beautiful. The third act feels like a typical marvel movie. I was shocked by who the villain was. It caught me offguard lol. But the ending was disappointing.",7 "Don't bother. It's boring, slow, did not meet it's potential of the previews in any way. While the previews say: ""here's a rated-R horror movie involving babysitting teenagers and a room full of cursed, evil and/or possessed artifacts that a couple of occult weirdos have been collecting for decades - what could possibly go wrong?"" - instead, you will watch a mildly disturbing bedtime story set in the 70s where you'll struggle to stay awake and will watch the credits roll wondering why it was rated ""R"" instead of PG or PG-13. There are animated TV shows on Nickelodeon that are more terrifying than this movie. Yawn.",4 "This is a great start to Indian Netflix original series. This is as raw as it gets and frankly is what Anurag Kashyap does best. Yes, there is Vikramaditya Motwane as the director directing Saif Ali Khan but to me this is Anurag Kashyap and Nawazuddin's show. I see a couple of westerners saying this show is not worth the hype simply because they cannot understand the underlying facts about India. It is quite similar to how we did not appreciate the movies about American football/rugby and baseball. Try and understand the context and you will start understanding why it is such a good show, if you don't, well we have 1.3 billion people! We will still be up-voting the show because we like it!!! This is probably the start of an Indian TV series revolution. Looking forward to season 2.",7 "Very well done show and a great performance by Kate winslet. Her portrayal as the deeply flawed, but excellent detective, Mare was award worthy. The rest of the cast also was very good especially jean smart as mare's mom. The story itself was a typical whodunnit about a murder and some missing girls. It was a little like true detective, without the weirdness. The only bad thing I can say was that it was too short, only 7 episodes. I wanted more Mare. HBO hit a home run with this show.",8 "I enjoyed this very much, both as an insight into Spielberg and as a story in itself. I cannot understand those who say it was too long. I was engrossed throughout and it didn't feel anything like 2 1/2 hours to me. The acting was superb, especially Mitzi and Sam characters. There are lots of subtleties in the film - camera angles, reflections, still moments, music, sound - that are worth paying attention to. Also interesting moments of watching a film being filmed in a film. If you enjoy thoughtful, reflective films and are remotely interested in Spielberg as a director, I am sure you will enjoy this.",8 "Words cannot describe just how dull and dumb this movie is. The actors are unlike label, the story basically nonexistent, emotional attachment is missing. Utter rubbish",1 "Three true crime podcast enthusiasts and tenants of the Arconia witness a murder in the building and take it upon themselves to solve the case, by of course producing their own serial like podcast, as they haphazardly search for clues. Created by John Hoffman (Grace and Frankie) and Steve Martin, and starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, I honestly had much higher hopes for this series. It's fine, but I often get the sense that Martin was really trying to tiptoe the line between a real crime drama and a satirical comedy, but Martin Short continually pulls hard towards the comedy side while Selena Gomez basically plays straight drama. It creates friction from scene to scene, often not in the best ways, making the series swap tones ungracefully. I honestly thought Gomez had the best acting in this series, and I didn't really find any of it laugh out loud funny (maybe except whenever Tina Fey shows up), but also I've never really been a fan of true crime podcasts, which this show is of course heavily based on mocking. Wasn't bad, but wouldn't necessarily recommend.",5 Movie was good need to add more caracters like childhood off voldemort and alll,7 I did not not enjoy it. It´s predictable and barely funny.,2 "The most enjoyable part of this film was Brad Pitt, secondly Leonardo DiCaprio. The backdrop of Hollywood in 1969 was the motivator that prompted me to see this movie. Against my better judgement, paying to see a Tarantino film was not on my short list. Due to the history of over the top violence in his previous films. This film in the end was just another over the top blood bath. All the beauty and touching scenes in the film culminated with his sick fueled violent insanity. I've been cured.",5 "In the finale of his trilogy, Christopher Nolan brings us his final look into the universe with The Dark Knight Rises. It's been 8 years since The Joker's attack on Gotham and the Batman took the blame for Harvey Dent's death. Now Gotham living in peacetime with massive crime drop. Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) now a social recluse and suffering from depression begins to question his return when a mysterious masked mercenary named Bane(Tom Hardy) arrives with ties to the League of Shadows and has plans for not only the city but Bruce himself. The Dark Knight Rises had a lot to live up to with The Dark Knight breaking records and winning numerous awards. It further pushed the storytelling for the comic narrative of what was possible. How this trilogy would end did leave many in suspense. While Rises is by no means a bad movie, it doesn't capture the tone and enrichment that the previous film achieved. The concept of the film is essentially a mixture of The Knightfall with No man land thrown in. This idea of a concealed threat rise from the shadows and hope being lost with Batman serves as the light to light the way. That idea sounds great however how it's executed with the story and its pacing doesn't capture the theme that the movie tries to accomplish. Starting with the fact that the fall and rise of Batman aren't as exciting as they should be. He decides to come back rather quickly and really with not much buildup. Alfred's reveals about Rachel are so hassling glossed over. The threat for Bruce to overcome while many can come to the assumption that Nolan most likely had something else planned for the Joker. Following Ledger's death, all thoughts of that went out the window. While Bane by all means wasn't a bad choice to go, this physical and tactical force. Hardy does give an opposing appeal to this character evening though the venom is removed for the sake of realism. He does give off this militaristic vibe, he can plunge the city into chaos, but unlike joker who used fear. Bane sways others into revolting, giving them this false idea of justice and control. The whole second half of the movie is when his plan is put into effect. It does add more to the highlight of the film. However, the amount of time given between him and Batman just isn't enough to complete the cycle of a hero rising. The rest of the cast feel like they were worked into the movie. Gordon is probably the only one who honestly feels warranted. With his guilty about the coverup with Harvey. Alfred and Lucius are pretty afterthoughts. Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Blake he's a good guy man. Who feels moved by all that batman has done, but it is not like this is somebody we've known through the films. He's introduced here and honestly, you could have cut him and replaced him with more Gordon. Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/ Catwoman has gotten a fair amount of criticism for her role. She is not a good Catwoman she is just not. Giving in to the factor here for bruce's character she's supposed to covent this whole love interest. The chemistry between them is terrible never is there any real sort of feeling that these two genuinely love one another and are just kissing for the audience. Hathway also while she has the attitude down. She lacks any of that sex appeal that Michelle Pfeiffer had. That is important to Catwoman. She is not sexy or playful in the sense of that very filtered cat and mouse game between her and bruce. The Action in the film it's not as fast and bombastic as in dark Knight again the film tries to go for a more somber tone of lost hope and build until the big final battle, but the stunt work and the visuals like the plane hijack or the stadium do stand out.",6 "When watching Stephen Chow's movies, one must not take them too seriously. My father watched Kung Fu Hustle last year, and his comments were merely two words - 'too exaggerated'. To me, it is a great movie in almost all aspects. Comedy, melodrama and action. The humour in this movie are very creative, funny and presented in the right timing. I laughed so hard that I almost couldn't breathe. The fight sequences are very well-done. The visual effects are surprisingly good (for a Hong Kong movie). Last but not least, the soundtrack is wonderfully pleasant to listen to. It contains scores that reminds you of 70's Kung Fu flicks, as well as scores that are really touching. They played in my mind even after a few weeks after the movie. Go watch this movie! You won't regret.",10 "Henry cavill shines, but it's bloated, the acting is one note. The games are better.",4 "Seen a few shows with this format a few years back... kind of reminds me of ""I love Lucy"", but worse. Not really fun, jokes are laim, and I think people are only watching this cause its Marvel stuff, and how it has to do with other Marvel Universe things, but on its own, by what I've seen so far on the first 3 episodes, I might wait until its over, and someone just give me a spoiler. Don't think I'll finish this show.",3 "There's always one thing I fear when it comes to movies and that is sequels! I knew there was a lot of hype surrounding this movie so I tried to ignore it and go into the movies with no expectations. This movie actually blew me away by its content, it didn't focus on some ""I hate everyone, I'm evil and I want to kill the world"" storyline. Instead it focused on how heroes are within us all (as Aunt May said), how technology has consumed us and how its important to sustain love no matter how difficult the circumstances. Peter Parker (Maguire) is still fighting crime but he's also trying to fight his guilt over his Uncle Ben's death, his true feelings for Mary Jane (Dunst) and the truth about his identity to Harry (James Franco). I think its a movie people would really enjoy, I have it an 8/10",8 "Well I watched it all and that's 2 hours and 19 minutes of my life I'll never get back. What utter rubbish. I imagine it was supposed to be a amusingly charming caper but it was just a travesty of a movie strangled by the over-acting of the entire cast. Why on earth did Daniel Craig of the famously frozen philtrum think that he could pull off a southern accent? Who the heck cast him? Is Edward Norton short of cash or something? Why else would he squander his talent and reputation on this nonsense? I don't imagine it was cheap to make but it might as well have been. Whoever bankrolled it should have donated the money to a deserving charity and not squandered it on this tripe.",2 "First off, why do all the reviews here, even the negative ones, praise the music score? The score is the epitome of booming trash that director Christopher Nolan regrets popularizing in Inception (2010). The main reason the audience is on edge the whole film is because the music is so overbearingly ominous even in scenes where nothing ominous is happening. The screenplay is more fitting for daytime TV. The dialogue and acting is average, not bad, but also no memorable lines or deliveries. The plot is littered with cliches, inconsistencies, and people acting way dumber than they should (even in terrifying situations). However, with all of that said, the movie is still compelling enough that I never wanted to stop watching. Aside from the incomprehensible quick cuts in the intro, I have to give the director kudos for setting up some compelling cinematography and making the most out of a bad script.",4 "Henry cavill nailed the role perfectly. The fight scenes, the music, the cinematography, the whole atmosphere is beyond amazing. Netflix did it again",9 "Bad acting, no storyline, uninteresting characters, worst colour grading, unwanted gore and forced sex scenes, I would re watch the whole GOT seasons once again but not watching a single episode of this garbage again.",1 "I know this will sound elitist, but who are these people (and critics!) who thought Gravity was some sort of spectacular science fiction, space thriller a la 2001: A Space Odyssey? The only connection to such truly great movies is the blatant rip off by the director of the iconographic space fetal position, but with Sandra Bullock doing the floating. Are you kidding me – how could any self-respecting film critic or above average IQ viewer not recoil against such adolescent mimicry. Unfortunately, Gravity is not a movie for anyone with an above average IQ. Yes, the special effects are impressive, but these days, that just means spending enough money to hire the best computer graphics artists. The story and direction is embarrassingly juvenile, requiring a suspension of belief that goes way beyond that for average movies. From the idiotic positioning of the ""brilliant"" engineer, Sandra Bullock, using ""eeny meeny miney mo"" to choose the critical sequence of re-entry control buttons to the preposterous actual re-entry and landing, not in an ocean (which cover 70% of the earth), but over land, and in a lake (which cover 1% of earth). Finally, after plunging to Earth in a flaming capsule, Bullock emerges, unscathed, and of course scantily clad and barefoot, like a Xenon princess warrior, from the primordial mud of this idyllic lake onto its uninhabited beach. This movie was as nauseating and cringe-worthy as any that I've ever seen, but my daughter took us, so I had to sit quietly, without speaking out or throwing up until I was home alone.",3 You will not find so much horror and mystery in this movie. Little suspense and story is good for teen agrees.,5 "Too many multi-threaded narrative abuse in this movie, while I felt like asleep in the cinema. The background music is not as astounding or attractive or thrilling as what I heard in Interstellar and Inception. The same Hans Zimmer but not a similar flavor. However, would recommend somebody who loves English accent to enjoy that. I am not favoring this kind of movie anyway.",5 Vicky kaushaland mohit raina...both were exceptional..i m proud of indian army..great movie ..great direction,10 "I will be brief. Tom Hardy does a very nice job. He drags this movie almost in solo. Other actors play is like ""could be worse"". BUT, exept of the greatest Tom Hardy this movie has a few more positive sides: 1) Venom himself ( funny and charismatic character with beautiful voice effects). 2) Perfect camera work and special effects.",5 "Love how the movie let you properly know the characters and focuses on the little details. Great job Mr Jason Segle. Miss your comedies as an actor and writer!",9 "Some parts are real gems but the movie as a whole is just okay. I miss Wally Pfister. The cinematography isn't as good as Nolan's other movies, and I can only assume it is because Pfister. DPs apparently don't get enough credit. The space scenes aren't as beautiful/great as Gravity. Heck, some scenes just seemed out of focus. The story kind of reminded me of the Hobbit where they go linearly from one danger to the next. The subplots aren't developed enough to make them that compelling and seem like after thoughts (its not like they didn't have enough time to develop them). A scene where Mcconaughey's character is wrestling/fighting with another almost seemed comical. Shortening the movie through editing wouldn't have made it better. The problems are bigger than that. I did enjoy the black hole, the concepts of space, time, gravity, communication through time etc. Not as good as Memento, Inception, or which ever Batman was your favorite of the three. But probably as good as the Batman you liked least.",7 "Could it be worse? Nothing has been added in 10 years as far as the graphics. The plot was stolen for a B western move from the 1930s. The acting is awful. Maybe there's an excuse for such poor acting given the make-up, but its' horrible nonetheless. The so-called high tech is not very advanced for a film that takes place decades in the future. They stuff up a machine gun and think that passes for future weapons. They put a kid in a merry-go-around and think that is futuristic interrogation,. What a joke! OK I walked out after an hours, so maybe something happens in the last 2 hours to make it all worthwhile. Meantime I have a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell to you.",2 "It looks like there are one or two people on the reviews of this show trying to drive down the stars because of some grudge against Ellen Page. It's almost stalkerish and if you read them, it quickly becomes apparent it's the same person who wrote most of them even if someone else posted them. UA is definitely outside the box in many ways and I can see where it is a little weird for some people. However, if you open your mind it is actually a very good, very original spin on the comic book movies and series. Netflix screws up a lot with canceling shows before they can build a base but luckily they are giving UA a second season already.",9 "This movie helps one realize how much better the real world is compared to the courier guy's fictional world of superheroes. How much better the world is without heroes and their struggle towards proving themselves. It also makes one think about the kind of friends that a person keeps and his commitment towards his relationship with them. How vulnerability to hypnosis renders a person totally helpless and doing things that he doesn't want to do. Ideas like the dark force of vengeance, the power of forgiveness, the internal conflict between these two emotions that a hero has to face makes it interesting to watch. This might also help us realize how lucky it is to be ordinary and alone, rather than having super powers and being with a group of super people. Ultimate freedom comes from not having to choose between two sides. Let the avenger's avenge. Let the lovers love. We just sit there and enjoy the show. It was a great show. Loved it.",9 "Once upon a time, there was a peaceful city of New York, the only place where action ever happens. And it was living its usual mundane life, with self-righteous people fighting the badass people and the badass people fighting back. And they would have been confronting each other happily ever after, but then came a sociophobic British pokemon catcher moonlighting as a WWF volunteer, and it all went haywire... Just as a disclaimer, I'm a total muggle, devoid of any worship for the Harry Potter universe. So all these people who are so powerful, but only as long as they have a phallic symbol in their hands to play with, have absolutely zero effect on me, well, maybe besides cracking me up. Yet I was hoping that maybe the ties of Fantastic Beasts to HP would be loose enough for me to enjoy the story it tells. And while the connection was pretty thin indeed, at least allowing me to understand what's going on without the previous experience of watching the Harry Potter movies or reading the books, the essence of this film was still too weak to my muggle taste. Yes, we're given some sort of conflict. The magically endowed people are in hiding, something like what the mutants were doing in X-Men: First Class. And, just like in First Class, the mere mortals don't really enjoy the perspective of having such potent and unpredictable neighbors. Those who want to retain the status quo are obviously the good guys, but there's this mysterious baddie who rebels against the set order of things and wants the magical world to be reckoned with at last (wonder if he wears a metal helmet too). To make things worse, some chaotic forces wreak havoc on the peaceful city, threatening an already shaky balance. So what's gonna be the last straw that breaks the camel's back? What will be the center of this convoluted story? Maybe a tormented and cast-out creepy young dude played by Ezra Miller, who's been brilliant at portraying such twisted and complex characters since The Perks of Being a Wallflower and We Need to Talk About Kevin? Maybe an unlikely bond between the depressed foster kid and our loner monster lover? Maybe a fragile feeling between a sensitive ginger Brit and a hyperactive American brunette? Nah, forget this petty nonsense. We'll put in the very center of the story a kleptomaniac platypus and a huge whale/hippo in heat. And don't forget a big shiny griffon, because this is what the audience wants to see! Seriously though, Fantastic Beasts suffers from the same illness the whole Harry Potter franchise seems to have been susceptible to from the very beginning. That is, it brings in so many visually fascinating, but substantially hollow things, but when it comes to the real human drama it's awfully shy to develop things or let them at least be fully revealed. The mysterious villain remains a mere rumor until the very end, and even when he's finally exposed you're left to wonder what's so villainous about him at all. The chaotic threat to the very foundations of the world gets disposed of within minutes with no second thought, making you guess what the fuss was about to begin with. And the characters that showed the most promise walk into the sunset without ever unfolding their true potential. In this story full of magic and weird creatures, the only character that stands out is that poor no-maj who just wanted to get a loan in a bank and simply ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. For him, this kaleidoscope of magic flickering and slapstick action is genuinely novel, so the guy is enjoying every second of it. And why shouldn't he? After all, his real life takes action in a canning factory, so a fairy tale dream would make a pleasant distraction. But it's not the dream itself that makes it so precious, its the inherent fleetingness of it which allows you to take only the best into the real world. And while Mr Kowalski had been graced with a gift of oblivion, nobody is gonna erase our own memory. So, when the two hours are over and the credits start rolling, we'll be unfortunate to ask ourselves: true, it's been all cute and easy to digest, but is that really all the film had to offer?",6 "9/10 cause no Ben Assfap. I hate that actor. P.S, if you need to go to sleep, watch The Town, with Ben Assclap. It'll knock you out harder than Mike Tyson on steroids after you were also given anesthesia and roofies.",9 "The subject of the film is a tawdry fellow whose antics earned him substantial wealth and a lavish lifestyle for a time but his adventures are not interesting enough to sustain a film of any length and certainly not one that runs for three hours. About a half hour in, I lost interest in the shallow and manic characters and their clearly foreshadowed repetitive and unfunny trajectories. The sex, drugs and moral shallowness quickly turned to boredom and the minutes passed slowly. The only relief came as the credits started to roll! What was Mr. Scorsese thinking? Wolf is a dud on almost all counts and I now understand why it earned a relatively rare C CinemaScore. Word of mouth will not keep this in theaters for long.",3 "This show is practically unwatchable. I sat through 3 full episodes and halfway through a fourth HOPING something will happen...NOTHING does. As ever, this is another of the no-talent Stephen King's directionless and confused pseudo plots. The ONLY thing that kept me watching was Ben Mendelson, Cynthia Erivo and a few other excellent actors who were cast. Beyond that, this mini-series goes nowhere, does nothing and just puffs itself up on it's hot air.",2 "First of all, this has the BEST script EVER! a script worth to be learned by heart, the delivery, the word choice are so aesthetic. Then, the story is compelling, the BRUTALITY is tempting, the Music is fascinating, the elegance is inspiring, the cooking is appetizing ... Hannibal characterizes the natural perfection, his facial expression is so cold and lifeless yet shines with an unearthly abnormal confidence. He's a multiskilled person who has an encyclopedic knowledge, He honors his carcasses by displaying them in an artful piece and also by not wasting their organs. This series will make you have several EYEGASMS and EARGASMS ! This is not for the simple minded half wits of course !!!",10 "I've written it before: The Second World War is a factory of stories worthy of making a movie out of them. Even if there are those who question and criticize this fact, arguing that the Academy will always pay much more attention to a film whose historical context is this specific conflict, the truth is that if there is a quality standard when it comes to rating these films. We can notice that, even if it is a tendency, the great movies based on this part of human history are in the place that they are in a more than justified way. In 2017, the academy nominated no less than two films located in this era for Best Picture. I already talked about Darkest Hour, what does Dunkirk leave us then? To begin with, we can once again appreciate the great ability of Christopher Nolan not only to direct a great cinematographic project, but to break the mold of the conventional film. In Dunkirk we can perceive an excellent script. Maybe not enough to get an Oscar nomination, but it does contain incredible details to take into account. In the first place, considering that the dialogue is very scarce (rather it occupies a merely descriptive role) so most of the narrative of the film is composed by actions and body language, which is carried out in a way that is at least acceptable . The actors, even if they do a very good job, occupy a circumstantial role, and their brightness lies more in the value of them as a crowd and in the way they form a whole within the story. While it is true that if there are memorable characters in the film, I am left with the feeling that it is the environment and the situation treated in the production that is the protagonist of Dunkirk. No aspect, both acting and dialogue, seems to be misplaced. Good script, good synergy. The production design is spectacular, full of remarkable aspects. As I said before, it is the surroundings that occupies the leading role in the project. To achieve this goal, the production design must be at least excellent. Dunkirk is up to it, even if The Shape of Water got the Oscar in this respect. The work of cinematography is superb, with dramatic and precise shots, placing the viewer in the exact place where the director surely glimpsed it in his mind. However, it still had to beat Blade Runner 2049 in this category in the 90th ceremony, which did not happened. Hans Zimmer, although he was surpassed by Alexandre Desplat for his work in The Shape of Water, gives us an extraordinary and reasonably vertiginous musical project, proving once again his quality and talent as a composer. In editing issues and both categories of sound, it got the prize as expected. Good technical aspects. The film has very noticeable tints of reality. More than referring to being based on real events, Christopher Nolan manages to make the viewer really feel at Dunkirk during that time. It does not seek to be very dramatic, although it has very well-known and genuine dramatic overtones. It raises an authentic war drama, endearing but as if it came straight out of a history book. The conflict, even if it is the war itself, is presented in such a way that the viewer can feel within the plot. The symbolism is also handled in a very clever fashion. It seems that, since the environment is the protagonist, the antagonist of all the characters is the water and the ocean mass that separates the English soldiers from their home. However, these characteristics also make this production a bit difficult to process, and it gives a slow pace unfortunately. Summing it up, Dunkirk proposes an innovative way of making a film not only of the Second World War, but of war as a movie genre. The technical details of the production are incredible and the acting works very decent. It's a production that, while probably remembered as a great work by Christopher Nolan, was not worthy to take the Oscar home. However, it is perhaps the work of fate that Darkest Hour has premiered and been nominated on the same year, because both sides of the story are presented in each of these films. Even the end of both is a speech by Sir Winston Churchill. And, although these productions are not connected from their productions, the truth is that it raises the interest for what happened in Dunkirk in the year 1940. Good movie.",7 Beside McKenna (so cute) and the Warren couple (hardly in the movie) I did not like this move. Could not get over the fact that 1/3 or more of the movie focused on a girl that made numerous and very poor decisions. Go see Child Play instead. I enjoyed that one.,5 "Some of the advance publicity for this adventure announced this as a ""comedy,"" which nearly put me off, and, in this case, could not be further from the truth, and I would not want to have missed this unusual and exciting and challenging film. This is an immersion in style, a Bollywood venture into the gangster thriller, enlivened by superb ensemble work and exciting and colorful visuals. The young anti-hero, attractive Neil Nitin Mukesh, attempts to set members of his gang one against the other, hoping to run off with ill-gotten gains; with an initially confusing narrative, the willing viewer will soon be caught up in an intense cat-and-mouse game richly scored, with only a single dance number (which actually heightens the tension); the film takes the viewer full-circle from the violent opening to the perhaps surprising finale. Recommended!",8 "I mostly enjoyed the movie, but not for the reasons most others seem to have enjoyed it. I keep reading words like ""soulful"", ""touching"",""romantic"" and ""makes u think about ur own loved ones"". I just didn't get that feeling. I never felt emotionally attached to Joel-Clementine's relationship. They really didn't strike me as anything that special, but that did not ruin the movie for me. The unique concept in which the story is told is worthy of ur time itself - and really the biggest reason Y i liked it. The acting by both Winslet and Carrey is superb. Technically, its brilliant as well. I would've preferred a movie more emotionally engaging.....considering it's still about two people in love.....but we never really get to know the characters that well. The screenplay(some portions of Joel's memory) could also have been better in the 2nd half. It did leave me looking at the watch quite a few times.....and that's never a good sign. Overall, good, but not THAT good.",7 This movie started out well enough with a high interest value in the first 50 minutes or so - explaining the struggle of the early oil pioneers with their lack of knowledge and equipment - it took a fair nose dive after that with Daniel Day Lewis's acting just becoming extremely annoying and the soundtrack becoming so shrill and distracting that at times I found myself covering my ears until the passage in question had moved on to quieter times. If DDL was up for an Oscar for this (and i'm no way sure of this) I have to say that the overall quality of Oscar nominees must be slipping - the storyline just got lost in an over-long rambling mess of a film. I have to say that mile for mile DDL's films SEEM to run into an overlong mess (see Gangs of New York) and it seems at times the direction of this movie gets waylayed. This is of course just my opinion and maybe you might get something out of this movie that I did not - Satisfaction - satisfaction that I longed to crave especially after a good opening - but ultimately its promise was larger than its delivery - one for the straight to video I fear with boredom a high factor in the latter stages of the movie and DDL just becoming an annoying inclusion in a thus ultimately unsatisfying experience,3 "I watched the whole movie and didn't smile/laugh once. I thought that the movie was boring and unexciting. On the positive side, (the only reason I didn't give lower) was because the special effects used were good and the animals looked quite real. Altogether, do not waste your money on buying this. It is simply not worth it.",3 Arghh! Last episode major disappointment. Just stupid,3 "Jo Jo Rabbit, not sure how to take this film, parts are beautiful and yet it's a simplistic film which because of this to be misses the mark spectacularly. The soundtrack is wonderful a combination of well known songs, mainly sung in German and a big plus point for Love's Everbody's Gotta Live, nice to hear a track from Love that isn't from Forever Changes. The score itself is simplistic with a Germanic underscore courtesy of Michael Giachino, who I've never heard of before, and will investigate further). What if the film itself, young boy Jo Jo joins the Hitler youth, much to the annoyance of his mum who is part of the underground resistance, who unbeknownst to Jo Jo, is keeping safe a young Jewish girl in her loft . Jo Jo isn't cut out to be a true Nazi, although he does speak to a imaginary Hitler played by the director and writer Taika Waititi. This is where the film fails, having a comedic Nazi/Hitler isn't very original (The Producers being the most obvious one) and having Hitler camping it up is grotesque when considering his part in the holocaust and his Nazi ideology. The developing relationship is lovely between Jo Jo and Elsa, and watching their friendship turn from deep mistrust to friendship, trust and love is a delight. Oh yes I forgot to say I believe the movie is a comedy drama, not for me it's portrayal of the fall of the Third Reich and the destruction of the town in the movie is too clean and calm. It's a lovely film with lots of flaws, so for that I will have to give it a 7/10 and that's for the young actors, Jo Jo's friend Yorki in his paper uniform is a delight and of course the soundtrack is fab. Oh yep it got an Oscar, not in my eyes matey. An acquaintance of mine states "" Ha ha - you slag off a film, says it misses the mark spectacularly, and then give it 7"" he pictures himself as a budding Kermode, when clearly I'm a more intellectual Barry Norman ""It misses the mark as a critique of Nazi germany, but good as a study of a relationship with a great soundtrack"" I added. My job is done here, I cannot move on to view and review some more cinematic gems or jellies.",7 "Its a well made war movie, but falls into the blob that is war movies. it has some impressive shots but there are plenty onther war movies who have better ones. so in the gerne of war movies or just a movie in general, it lacks on quite a few fronts. 6/10: not that amazing",6 TOO good keep it up TVF. The plot and story is good and gives motivation to us.,8 "Cons Science babble, forcing me to pause and question and clarify several times: some theories are based on our current understanding of physics and astronomy, and others are just stupid. There's one scene where there's dust all over the house, but nowhere along the fields when they're driving through Time-space warping wormhole but their spaceship is intact, they suffer no physical/psychological changes n-th dimension, and you end up behind the bookshelf in your old house?? the whole ""love"" things was just cheesy",2 "So this movie wasn't completely awful. It was meh. I love this genre so I watch everything. Even if a movie is just terrible, I usually get a laugh at its expense. Reason for actually leaving a review on a lukewarm movie? Here it is: how in the hell did this get a 6.7 rating??? I mean, come on. This was a B grade horror movie with mediocre acting and plot holes big enough to drive a car through. Sure it's kind of fun, but 6.7? This movie is nowhere near that good.",4 "This is a long and drawn out movie with a dumb plot. I deal for the teen set who really have not idea what a good movie is, and some others who also have no concept of a story. It is simply not something you can sit for 2+ hours to watch. The best way to view it is to speed watch it by using the FF button and going through the dumb scenes quickly. In the end, you will simply find you wasted a lot of time.",4 "I really was looking forward to this show for awhile after being a fan of The Boys but this show really just falls flat. Most of the characters just seem dull and 1 dimensional. It's just entirely dull. After all the things that happened, there was somehow nothing going on. I was hoping that this would potentially be an easy ride in between seasons of ""The Boys"", but I'm really not sure I can sit through this. It's just so boring that it's mind numbing; characters are unlikable, shallow and cringey. The writing like a Webtoon or a YA feminist novel; and overall, not a single line that I suspect was supposed to be funny was even close. I'm pretty sure that blonde shrinky girl is supposed to be comical, but she's so bland that I really can't tell. The only outcome I can hope for with this messy work is that the two redeemable characters will be written out of this before it hopefully gets cancelled, and be written into ""The Boys"" where they'll be utilized by properly by good writing.",5 This movie honestly didn't surprise me. I knew it was gonna be good. It's hilarious and dramatic with edge of your seat action. Perfect.,10 13 Reasons Why should have stopped with S02. They've messed up the series completely with S03.,7 "As expected from flop anurag kashyap , a very predictable theme. Violence and bad words for no reason. An extremist personality , a frustrated cop, an paralysed man, a bomb.. With no connection to each other. This series will have a cult following though as for many Indians following a series on Netflix is a very cool thing to do. But i. Reality this series has no story at all.",3 "Cocktail looked promising going by the trailers. Well from now on I will try not to watch trailers of any upcoming movies. They spoil all the fun. From now on its a rule of thumb, not to expect anything new or mind blowing from any film. It will help in enjoying the movie. The movie started off well. Veronica and Meera's friendship, given their entirely contrasting personalities is fun to watch. Enter Gautam, the dialogs and scenes are very hilarious. ""Daaru desi"" song shows how good the trio's on-screen chemistry is. Then the ""Tumhi ho bandhu"" song. It is the best part of the movie. Diana Penty is very charming in the song sequence. The music gave me goosebumps. Then the routine ""love triangle"" starts. The sequence where Veronica finds herself lonely in the fully crowded pub is fantastic. Her acting skills have improved a lot. She has done a pretty good job. She took this role as a challenge and gave her best. The second half gets boring but picks up towards the end. Randeep Hooda though very talented has too little a screen time. Diana Penty has done a decent job. Saif was as usual charming. Deepika added the spice factor to the movie. And the music is another important asset to the film. Cocktail is not a great movie and Nothing compared to ""Love Aaj Kal"", which can be viewed multiple times, but all-in-all its a time paas movie.",6 "I had held of watching this, never read the books, never played the games and consider much fantasy fair as being poor. The first series though I thought was pretty good, a solid 6 to 7. Entertaining. Series two, not so good but a 5. Series three, struggled to get past half way through the first episode but persevered, half way through the second episode just couldn't take anymore. It gas just gone to cheese. ...

My single regret is that dialogues are not in Russian because we are so immersed that we feel like in a documentary with the strength of the cinema.",9 "Well, at least this film is a leaner, meaner, funnier fighting machine than the first. But the first was a disappointment. So it's best not to have the greatest expectations going into this film. Venom 2 does double down on the humor, relationships, overall wackiness of the franchise, and Venom causing carnage(lol). Tom Hardy is better than ever and Woody Harrelson knocks it out of the park. Naomie Harris is also great but underutilized in this movie. It has a short run time but the film benefits from the length. Yeah, it has its typical superhero overblown CGI fest ending. But it's funny and fun while being very noisy and messy at the same time. Just stick around for the post credits scene as it's a game changer!",7 This movie was very different from the genre and type marvel are used too but it does very well in its own aspect. Flawless top tier acting from Oscar Isaac. Action scenes fit very well. Not much feels stretched. Plot holes are a major problem in this series and its hard to ignore sometimes. Feels trippy sometimes but other then that enjoy this series.,7 "This is a short run series (7 episodes) from the United Kingdom that starts with David Bud, a former military turned specialist protection officer (equivalent of American Secret Service), deescalating a potential suicide bomber on a train in which he is riding with his children on the way to deliver them to their mother with whom he is separated. He does a wonderful job not only protecting the train passengers, but the potential martyr as well. Because of his bravery he gets a promotion via being assigned to the Home Secretary Julia Montague, who has a different opinion about their role in the Afghanistan war and whose ex husband, Roger Penhale, is also a political powerhouse. This is a wonderfully told terrorist/conspiracy theory story that has quite a few coincidences, but not so many that I wouldn't recommend it. I'm afraid I can't say more about the story itself other than to say things really get sticky once David starts having an affair with Julia. I liked the discussions of threat assessment...from checking the room before a target enters, to the bigger discussions about targets big and small. Lots of politics and political intrigue in this series from counter terrorism, to security services...who has the power and who wants to take it from them. Throughout David Bud is a consummate professional who finds himself conflicted. I think Richard Madden does a wonderful job as the main character, P. S. Bud, and is a big part of why this is a recommendation from me. Anyone into tight stories, conspiracy theories, and counter terrorism will enjoy this British series which has some great action series as well as interesting character development.",8 "I've enjoyed some of the Marvel oeuvre.. but honestly.. this is not up to the mark, nowhere bloody near, not at all. Let's be honest; It's a turkey. Very poor directing, Russo bros.. whoever they are.. it's like.. are they in the right job or did someone mistake the set janitors and kept them on to lower costs? Shoddy in fact; - they'd have been far better off using whoever directed Thor 3, Dark World or Avengers Age of Ultron, or Ironman III, Or even Thor Ragnarok, - all better directed and more watchable movies. The cinematography of the 'live' footage was generally awful. I mean, shocking. Amateur. It made me wonder if they'd used the wrong lenses or cameras or something. As for performances.. 'Acting', as it used to be called.. where to start.. I'll keep it simple: Most of the 'stars' including RDJ are taking the piss.. it's not as if they had a great deal to do anyway, but.. they must be laughing all the way to the bank.. call this a day job? They're getting money for old rope. The screenplay, the plot - is practically non-existent, and what there is is balderdash, tripe, codswallop and piffle. Half a crap story painfully overstretched into well over two hours.. the ending is a complete cop-out / a cobbled together mess.. they must've been stoned and thought it was clever.. it wasn't, it isn't. I was actually looking forward to seeing this.. but having already seen Ready Player One a few weeks back - absolutely no contest - Ready Player one is a truly great movie, by a great director, great cinematography, screenplay, story, plot, music, soundtrack, FX, ideas, the whole kaboodle. Comparing Avengers Infinity war to ready Player One is like putting a used Edsel next to a brand new Aston Martin. This is a big big budget movie that (apart from some quality CGI) looks like it was made on a shoestring in a back-alley. Shame on the Russos.. and whoever else was responsible for this forgettable pile of doo-doo. Oh, the (almost entirely scored) soundtrack wasn't bad.. but way too glorious for the poor character playing, performances, script and screenplay. Watch it when your friends buy the dvd or something.. save your money for DeadPool II or buy the DVD of Ready Player One!",4 "Best comedy movie ever,ratings should be 8.7,best movie ,fun to watch",10 "The idea was amazing, focus on House Targaryen 100 years before GoT... But seems the writers didn't understand GoT in the first place. It took whole seasons to build up momentum, to get to know characters, to create twists, change of hearts, trusts, alliances, etc... It seems here they are trying to fast forward so quickly to fit 100 years in like 3 seasons or something... It makes the script and screenplay awkward. They are killing the GoT vibe. Why in did they also change the characters in the middle of the first season?? They are also not focusing on building the characters, it just jumps everywhere and they try to be so many things at the same time. I wonder if this is even worse than the last episode of GoT.",4 "I never imagined Twisted Metal would make a great TV show. But here it is. Great characters are everywhere. Tons of Fan service for those that remember the game, even Sweet Tooth the psychopath he is , is a likable character, cause the character is well written and well acted. Appropriately uber violent for better or worse. As a writer I'm totally jealous, I would have loved the chance to write something like this. All the humor works balancing the violence and we get a love story to boot. Made me want to fire up my PS1 (I still have it) and play Twisted Metal again. Brilliant and genius I binge watched in one day.",8 "From the opening scene, Barbie knows exactly what movie she is and what she has to say. Everything from the legacy of Barbie as a brand to the mass misunderstanding of her purpose are all handled eloquently and addressed in such a light way it keeps the movie on track without becoming a thinkpiece. The shortage of pink paint that followed this movie completely makes sense once you step inside the bright world of Barbie's dream house. What follows the __funny__ Space Odyssey recreation opening scene is a humorous but touching commentary on the journey of womanhood. Hilarious from start to finish, but will likely jump up some tears at the relatability. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling could not have been replaced by anyone else in this film; they run this film flawlessly. The Oscar-buzz surrounding Gosling's performance of Ken is not out of nowhere. Unlike any other role he's played before, it showcases his range in the comedy arena as well as giving him the opportunity to exemplify his showman qualities in a new genre. Robbie is the perfect mix of peppy, smart and sensitive to be Stereotypical Barbie and always has us rooting for her. The soundtrack is immaculate and lends to the overall experience of the Barbie world while blending it with the real world by featuring so many popular artists. The bubbly vibe and fun attitude of the movie paints a great background while clearing up the mixed messaging about what Barbie was made for and the intended impact of her invention for better and for worse. Strongly recommended for everyone; bring tissues!",9 "Netflix needed a bit of fresh air. It's facing increased competition from other streaming services and it's original programming has been very hit and miss. It needed a new flagship show. The Witcher may just be it. I've watched one episode so far. I'll do another review when I've finished the series, but I'm savouring it rather than binge-watching. I've only played The Witcher 2 and 3. I know those games inside out. I know basically nothing about the books (though I know I should read them) asides from the lore contained in the games and bits and bobs picked up on the wiki. After pausing the episode halfway through to google why Geralt only has one sword, I tried to just switch off my knowledge of the games and enjoy the show, and enjoy it I did. The action is slick and brilliantly choreographed (even featuring some Signs, for game players). There's little nauseating quick-cutting. The music is reminiscent of the games, featuring a beautiful blend of Slavic instrumentation and melody with traditional western orchestral style. The script is a little heavy on the exposition, though the heavy lifting is done early on in the episode leaving the rest of it to get down to the brewing political intrigue and action. There's some pretty spectacular CGI, especially in the opening scene. Production values are overall very high quality. The performances are mostly solid. Henry Cavill has a tough role to play because Geralt isn't the most charismatic of protagonists, but he brings more depth to the role than the mumblegrowl of the games. Freya Allan immediately convinced me in the role of Ciri. She's got little mannerisms here and there. She's sarcastic and rebellious, but also genuine. Other performances are nothing to write home about, but they're sufficient. For players of the games, this helps fill in so much of Geralt's backstory that we've only heard passing reference to in the games (including a particularly important one). For book readers, I'm sure this is a more faithful adaptation of the books than the games are. For newcomers, honestly, I'm not sure if I can recommend it at this stage. We'll have to see. It jumps deep into the mythos of The Witcher series with little easing into it. Unlike Game of Thrones (which The Witcher will inevitably be compared to) there's not much in the way of build up. Episode one launches you right into the middle of a major conflict, before you've gotten to know any of the main characters. It's good - much better than expected - and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series over Christmas.",8 "I went to see this at Its local premiere and I really cant say I was not entertained with everything, the satire, the visuals, the characters. It would be a great film if I did not feel like it had some liberal message behind it. Even if so it is still pretty funny. The film probably deserves more publicity as It has not been talked about much for a while now.",6 I knew this movie hit me diff as a kid mannnnnnnnnn what a beautiful touching movie please go watch.,10 "I struggled with rating this film after I saw it. On the one hand, it's very technically sound and precise, with very few wasted scenes or shots. However, the clinical and sterile vibe left it feeling a bit soulless. There are strong performances by Damon and Fishburne, but too many subplots and story lines detracted from the pace and kept me from feeling deeply invested in any of the characters. Still, there are a few elements worth seeing in Contagion. The film is signature Soderbergh with its stylish score, edits, and montages. I also enjoyed the portrayal of events that occur given a potential pandemic after the foundations of society and industry are halted. So my decision between rating it 4 to 6 out of 10 hinged on this question I asked myself: was watching the film worth my time? If I knew how I'd feel about it before I saw it, would I have gone ahead and watched it if I had the free time? It's a pretty close decision, but I think I would have passed on it if I knew how cold it turned out to be.",4 "It's just meh. Yes, if you know the comic, you know that Venom is one of the most violent and sadistic characters Marvel has, only to be outdone by Carnage. So they went and made a buddy cop comedy out of Venom. Yes of course that is disappointing. But even if you forget this. This movie is full of plot holes which should not be the case, seeing that the movie has no plot. So little makes sense in this movie. But also it seems to have been made to embarrass two great actors that I love. The CGI is decent at times, but then again so bad it completely takes you out of the movie. It was like eating a great steak while having covid and no taste.",3 "Lots of high scoring reviews on here and the 8.5 average made me give it a go. I'm not knocking anyone who scored it either high or low but I didn't like it and found it a bit boring in the middle. As for messages I couldn't pick up any message beyond. 'Don't cook the goose that laid the golden egg'",4 "1. No progress in acting. 2. Same story in all seasons. Severe lack of creativity in story writing. 3. Good cinematography. 4. If you've watched Season 1, you've watched it all.",1 "As a movie, A Beautiful Mind works well enough - in fact, it comes off as a standard Hollywood ""man meets adversity and conquers it with the support of a loyal woman"" film. Watching it though, I couldn't help feeling that a complex life had been simplified and ironed out to fit that standard mold. What do we know of the real man behind the film, at the end? Do we get any sense of the complexity of his achievements, or of his problems? If I were to believe this movie, I would believe that Nash had only one single idea in his life, and a simple (if pervasive) problem to face. Unfortunately, at the end, I'm left with the images of Crowe acting out nervous tics, and Jennifer Connelly playing the impossibly loyal wife. The IMDB info for this film says that ""A number of facts in John Nash's life were intentionally altered for dramatic and commercial reasons"" - unfortunately, so many of them that in the end A Beautiful Mind felt like a lie to me. Ron Howard got his dramatic and commercial success, but something significant was lost in the translation...",6 This is better than the first one. Absolutely loved it. It was beyond expectation.,9 I freaking loved this! There better be a part two 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽,8 Don't like it don't like it don't like don't like it,2 "Plot When a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, they become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces. Cast I was only familiar with Miranda Otto but to their credit everyone involved was great especially Zoe Terakes. Verdict I criticize Hollywood a lot about the quality of their horror films, apparently it's not just them as this is a Australia/UK collaboration. You see when the movie started I thought it was stylish, I thought it was well acted and when the premise presented itself I thought it was actually really quite interesting but feared it would become non-sensical foolishness like most modern horror. I was right. It all looks shiny, it feels well made but as with most modern supernatural horrors these days it's like a writer came up with a solid concept but that's it, the rest was just made up as they went along, the rules change, it goes on random tangents, and it's just messy. I wanted to like Talk to Me, but by half way through I'd predicted the whole thing correctly and it had revealed itself to be something comparable with your Conjuring, Insidious and all the other uninspired mega budget snoozefests. Rants The sad thing about this is a recurring theme I've been seeing with horror lately. Namely something becomes ""Trendy"" with kids, they record themselves doing it despite the ridiculous dangers and do it for the purpose of ""Likes"", ""Subscriptions"" and whatever passes for fame these days since the bar has never been lower. It's sad, it's pathetic, what's wrong with you? Breakdown Looks the part Great concept Great concept doesn't deliver Falls into the same slump as most modern horror.",4 "13 episodes later! Marvel's Daredevil it's not a stretch to say it's the best thing to come out of the MCU for film and television! (personal opinion) Daredevil does not need to deal with box-office return strategy, prime time restrictions, or broad-mass-appeal shticks and casting to garner a cash-grab audience. Not to undermine the empire Marvel has created. But there was always a safe-for-all gloss in any of the movies and TV Shows that are wittier and prettier then they needed to be. The leash is off on the well directed, shot, edited, written, art direction and action choreographed TV show ( with a few exceptions ) Calling it a TV show even sound cheapening of what amounts to a 12 1/2 hour well done movie. Even overshadowing many of the MCU movies that are just trying to out-due the previous in spectacle and style rather then story and substance. Netflix with House of Cards, Orange Is the New Black, Marco Polo, and continuations like The Killing and documentaries like Virunga further beat down the traditional media outlets doors. This old-boy-esque 6 min fight at the end of Se1 Ep2 scene without shaky camera, cuts, stupid radar vision, and a super-hero who never tires proves the discipline that show-runner Drew Goddard exercises. BRAVO!!",9 "Amazing performances By Jon Bernthal, Ben Barnes, Ebon Moss Bachrach and Daniel Webber. There are moments where it feels dragged, showing us characters that have very little appeal. However they make it up to us with beautifully choreographed action",8 "this show is a mess. bad acting, bad writing, and a huge lack in diversity are my first problems, without spoilers. the show isn't absolutely abysmal, which is why i gave it a 3 rather than a 1. dreadful in every way. it's despicable how popular this show is. yet another example that popularity is not the same as quality.",1 "This series has been incredible. Great action, acting, character moments and development, has made Sam and Bucky great characters, Wyatt Russel was amazing as John Walker and can't wait to see more of him and Bruhl was amazing as Zemo. People that say this show is bad because of race are stupid, it's about a black man taking on the mantle of Captain America ffs, ofc it's gonna deal with race and if you have a problem with that, then you're probably too immature to watch the show 😂.",9 "Definitely a kids film, not suitable for people over the age of 10. My initial judgment of this film was correct, it sucks.",4 "Martin Scorsese at his undisciplined worst. ""The Wolf of Wall Street"" is 90 minutes of glib satire stretched over an interminable 180 minute film. I get it, I get it -- the excess of the film itself matches the excess of the Wall Street world depicted in it. But excess, both as a subject matter and as a style, is boring after a while. The first hour or so of the film blows the roof off the joint, and I was sure I was experiencing a film that would go down as one of Scorsese's best. But as it went on and on, and Leonardo DiCaprio's performance became more and more histrionic, and the film made the same point over and over, I had that depressing feeling that comes when a movie you're really enjoying makes a wrong turn and becomes one you really dislike. ""The Wolf of Wall Street"" is of course critic proof. Anyone who doesn't like it is instantly categorized by its fan boys as stodgy and unable to handle the subject matter, as if it's an impossibility that someone could dislike the film simply because they don't think it's any good. Whatever. It's an overblown mess, stupid when it's trying to be funny (the Quaalude scene, for example) and in desperate need of someone who had the balls to tell one of America's greatest directors that he was letting his material run away with itself. Grade: C",5 I never played Witcher game before or know anything about this before watching this show.But I became fan because of Henry Cavell's abosultely undoubtedly beautiful performance.I am watching this show because of Geralt.I have to appreciate the visualsssss.They are as good as geralt.,9 The storyline gets intense gradually. Acting and dialogue writing is impressive. I highly recommend it.,8 "Hello, I'm Daniel Galvalizi, from Buenos Aires. I am 16 years old, and I want to give my opinion about Fargo. I think that is a great movie. The plot is one of the best plots in the '90s. I believe that Cohen brothers are very smart and talents. They did a very good movie. And the acting of Francis McDormand is excellent. She realy did deserve the Oscar. Well, i guess the all humanity has to watch Fargo, because it is pure art, 100%. Good luck! Bye.",10 The duffer brothers single handedly ruined stranger things with that sorry excuse of a third season. BRUTAL !!!,1 """Spider-Man 2"" improves upon nearly every inconsistency, flippancy, and futility which might have compromised its predecessor, in ascending to a sensational entertainment far, far better than any other film this year. This is smart, conventional, touching, and edge-of-your seat entertainment, where we find ourselves constantly gripped by the story, the relationships, and most especially, the action sequences. The characters are believable: Peter Parker's struggle to balance his supreme duties as a superhero with his personal duties as a student and worker and his desired relationship with Mary Jane Watson can be entirely understood by anyone who consistently feels overburdened and unwieldy. This ""side-story to the action"" provides us with a compelling reason to root for Parker in his quests to ""save the day"" and recover from his own problems. I became so engaged with nearly every character, including the ""villain"", Otto Octavius, because the story provided me a reason for involvement, in nearly everything these characters experience. I was compelled by every action sequence, from Spider-Man's signature web-slinging adventures, to the ""experiment-gone horribly wrong"", to the breathtaking, adrenaline-rushing showdown between Spidey and Doc Ock. This is probably the best single ""blockbuster"" I have ever experienced, practically free of any significant flaws. Funny, touching, compelling, and exhilarating... And I had merely expected to be entertained by the action! Can't wait for Spider-Man 3! **** out of ****",10 "Barbie: the symbol of pink, pastel perfection. An iconic piece of American pop culture for more than 50 years. But nothing can prepare you for her big screen debut. Barbie is a risky and courageous new movie. This is a film that will be discussed and talked about for years to come. Greta Gerwig takes Matel's historic creation, every triumph and failure in its catalogue, and places it all within a complicated and challenging critique of what it means to be a woman. If I could compare it to another movie, I would say it's very reminiscent of Robert Townsend's Hollywood Shuffle. It leaves you wondering what kind of insane negotiations went between the film's creative team and Matel, who is also one the targets of the film's purposeful ire. It is one thing to have completed this film, and absolutely another for it to have also gotten the overwhelming promotional campaign in the months leading up to its release. Gerwig's bet is paying off big time, and you have to admit, that takes a lot of guts. Concept alone certainly isn't the film's only strength. The film is beautiful to look at. The production design is second to none in its meticulous construction of a real-life Barbie paradise. Respectively, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling give fantastic performances with plenty of complexity and dimension. I was the most touched by Rhea Perlman who gives a heartwarming portrayal of the founding mother of Barbieland, Ruth Handler. Gerwig and Baumbauch's screenplay is biting and irreverent, and by the end, nobody is left unscathed. But equally so, I belly laughed quite often and marveled at how well so many of the jokes land. The emotional depth of the film also struck a very powerful cord, complete with an ending montage that can practically leave anyone misty-eyed. Having been released on the same day as Oppenheimer, it's safe to say that the event movie is back and better than ever. After three years of streaming, it can't be overstated how wonderful that is.",8 I was super excited for this movie but it disappointed me. It's highly OVERrated.. nothing like a good movie.. the only good thing here is the music . Waste your time somewhere else 😏,2 "All these batman stuff has been done before, there is nothing special about this movie. Batman Begins is better. The portrayal of Joker is inaccurate, it doesn't even look like him. Special effects are too ridiculous. Don't know what all the hype is about, but on the other hand i hate superhero movies.

They do a great job of being entertaining and thought provoking. I like that the episodes are self contained so you don't need to watch them in order.,8 "Despite Alpha having only two real characters, (the shallowly developed Dad character and our protagonist with sometimes self-contradictory behaviours) its charmingly simple story and wonderful cinematography make up for it.",7 "In terms of the plot, it's not just bad, but it also makes too many superfluous loops around the characters and deviates from the core narrative. In comparison to True Detective or Fargo, the show's plot flops terribly. If we talk about the performance, which is fantastic, but the narrative is terrible, I would not suggest it to anybody. It may be worthwhile if you are a fan of a certain actor or actress, but if you are seeking for a good plot or drama, it fails horribly.",1 "Not terrible but not great There are some great action scenes and the special effects are top notch but the story is rather generic and boring. Nothing that hasn't been done before. Feels like Agents of Shield with a bigger budget. Perhaps if they budgeted a little more towards outstanding writers, the overall product would have been better.",4 It's almost like he couldn't make up his mind and he decided to make two movies neither of which really worked. The stories mesh in the end but the storyline is flimsy and disjointed. In addition to being too long and slow with too far too much exposition. Lacks the imagination and spark of his other films. Good liking film that ultimate falls flat.,5 "From the beginning, the movie is so Gripping.. You will absolutely enjoy till the end.. My eyes were full of tears, completely crying as if I was that main character.. This movies sucks you in whole next level.. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯",10 "About as formulaic as you can get. It really is a burger, fries and pop film. I don't usually have a problem with American guys slapping themselves on the back and proclaiming their superiority, but this film took it to a whole new level. Pointlessly. Irritatingly. Maverick, the protagonist, was, you guessed it, the maverick! No real explanation why, he just is. And he railed against ""the man"", or the admiral in this case who, tried to shut down Maverick, but Maverick always won through by breaking the rules and... uhh so predictable, why bother? Val Kilmer had an exceedingly strange and pointless cameo. There was love interest and a teenager. The teenager did nothing, just kind of appeared said something meaningless and went. It was a long film with very little content. If you absolutely love planes whizzing around then you might find something here. If you want depth, story, three dimensional characters, look elsewhere. I was really looking forward to this film and just feel completely let down. I'd get more satisfaction reading the side of a box of diabetes inducing confectionary.",3 "How many times have you come across a film that makes you smile while you have a lump in your throat at the same time? Such are the dwellers of this nest that you feel sorry for them for the trouble they land themselves into but such is the treatment of the film that rather than being a compulsive tearjerker it has that feel good effect on you (without being overtly mushy either). Never since the times of Sai Paranjpe or Basu Chatterjee has one come across as authentic portrayal of the middle-class in films as you get to see here. Khosla Ka Ghosla talks about a family in Delhi headed by Mr. Khosla (Anupam Kher) who invests all his life's savings to buy a plot on which he dreams of building his own bungalow. But after buying the plot he finds the land being encroached by a builder Khurana (Boman Irani). He uses paisa, pehalwan and politics to get his land back but is too diminutive in front of the mammoth Khurana. Finally the straightforward family attempts devious ways to get back their land. Despite the film being delayed for long, the narrative still comes out as fresh and original. An average audience can so much relate to the characters of the film since none of them play the conventional larger-than-life Bollywood hero but a common man. Where else can you find the male lead of the film (Parvin Dabas) with a name that goes as Chiraunjilal? Kiran Juneja playing Khosla's wife, in her minuscule bit, is such a refreshing change from the sugar sweet Farida Jalal or the melodramatic Reema Lagoo kind of on screen mothers. Or for that matter Ranvir Shorey as the elder brother isn't the usual dominating or over-protective type clichéd character. The scenes that unfold come out so much out of real life situations. The only inspiration that the film derives is from real life. The semi-autobiographical script by Jaideep Sahni is original, amazing and entertaining. Debutante director Dibakar Bannerjee extracts fine performances from every member of the cast and never lets anybody go overboard or under-act. The comic timing of the characters is simply flawless. The theme of the film might be a serious issue but the treatment is very light-hearted. Songs are restricted just to the background and Kailash Kher's 'Chak De Phatte' gels perfect with the proceedings. The background score attributed to Boman Irani's character, every time he enters the scene, needs a special mention. Post Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Maara, this is Anupam Kher's best performance. He has performed such common man characters before and plays his part effortlessly even here. From Munnabhai MBBS, Being Cyrus to Khosla Ka Ghosla, Boman Irani perhaps is the only villain who can successfully add a natural comic effect to negative characters. Parvin Dabbas, Vinay Pathak, Navin Nischol and Kiran Juneja are apt in their roles. Ranvir Shorey plays the most hilarious comic characters to have come out in recent times without being goofy at any time. The actor is simply amazing. Khosla Ka Ghosla is an appetizing pure vegetarian thali in the age of non-veg junkies. Go relish it!",8 The groundhogday moment i had on the beginning made space for the deep dark world shown to us. From having a laugh to absolutely feeling how to utterly going through the deep end and coming out.... different.,8 "(I am sorry about my bad English. I'm not write a lots of review.) I'm big marvel fan-boy. Not just marvel ,aslo Dc fan-boy because ı love both.I will be honest with you, this movie just amazing. Russo Brothers you are best. After Winter soldier, I have no doubt about you. I was 100% sure you will do it right. And yes you did. Everything balance in this movie. Action,plot,script character development. İn this case movie come to best comic book movie of all time. Totally worth your money and your time. Just watch it without any prejudgement. İf you have a prejudgement you never love movies. I read some review , who give 3 or 1 star to this movie. And I'm checking their profile. Guess what. They give 10 or 9 star to BvS. And give 1 or 3 star CA:CW because one is DC other is MARVEL. Like I said before I like both. You can check my profile you will see I give 8 star to BvS. BvS is good movie but also big mess. And guys be fair. If you really don't like movie. İt is okey. But you give 1 star because this is marvel movie. Not cool move. I know their is also Marvel fanboys gived BvS 1 star. They are also brainless. Have good day.",9 "A movie don't need a six pack and young actor and hot chicks, it just need a brilliant actor. Once again Amitabh proved it that age can never be a bar for acting, and he is the best actor. Spotless acting by the entire crew and nice direction. Not sure why some people disliked it. Always looking forward to watch this kind of movies.",10 "As I seen more and more big name actors in this flick you just knew that there was going to be a great plot in the works especially with Quentin Tarantino directing. However, it was very slow building throughout the entire movie and every time there was a sporadic good scene and I thought ""alright, this is where it's going to get good and the story is going to start coming together"" the storyline went cold again and I was left wondering what the point of the story was and when it would manifest into anything of substance, but it never really did. I gave it 3 stars only because some scenes in the movie were actually good but they were only a handful of scenes and did not make up for how long and boring the rest of the movie was.",3 Very brief. If you want to waste your time should definitely watch this show.,1 "Unlike other viewers, I actually found this movie almost totally without suspense, but of course I remember the hostage crisis quite well. As always, I despise the hand-held camera bits, the picture jerking around and the colors swirling in confusion. This, I understand, is how the director achieves ""believability"". There is no one character, or even a couple, you can focus on and root for. No involvement, in other words. Cardboard cutout characters lead to cardboard character audiences - i.e., me. I did enjoy the first five minutes, where a brief history of Iran in the years after WWII were shown. That ought to educate some of the younger people who can't figure out why the Iranis and Iraqis and other Nid-Easterners hate us so. More younger people should see that portion of the film, even if they see nothing else.",4 Ok people this show just came out today and it's already getting negative reviews?? Give this show a chance! It will explain what's going on! If you don't like the show don't watch it! It's simple as that. I for one like the show so far and can't wait for these upcoming Fridays!,9 "I'm a big fan of Marvel, Loki and the Avengers. Loki is a character with an amazing personnality, intriguing vibe, endless possibilities and amazing powers. Truth is, we don't see any of this in the serie. Tom Hiddleston is great, but I see Tom Hiddleston in this serie, not Loki. No mischief, barely any lies, illusions or sense of control we all know from Loki. Dialogues are simple and predictable. The serie is entertaining but it's not great or addictive. I feel it had a lot of potential but they wasted it.",5 Liked it. Good non stop action film. Ryan Reynolds is always fun to watch!,7 "Morgan Freeman must buy a lot of Hollywood lunches. He was the worst part of the movie. ""Hey what film are we doing?"" Same sincere and righteous Morgan, with different lines. The best part of the movie was Casey Affleck who demonstrated a lot of range. The character development was on par with a decent popular TV drama and can't be compared with any of the best of them. Lots of clichés in the gritty city. The story was better than the screenplay, which was rife with all the dialogue we could expect people to say in the situations they were in. Was that Ed Harris hiding behind the goatee? Oh yes, there he is trying to make something stick from that awful script. More editing would have helped a lot so that the clichés and the standard boilerplate dialogue could be tightened into a more dramatic and punchy story. The moral quandaries held up and elevated the content quite a bit above an ordinary cops and robbers drams. The ending could have gone in many different directions and resolved into something worth thinking about, which saved the movie.",3 "It feels like it was Henry Cavil's destiny to play GERALT. Anya chalotre as Yennefer is amazing. The production is top notch. Its dramatic, sensual, and funny at times. Its awesome.",9 "Ya know special effects will only take a movie so far...... That is what this film struggles with in my opinion. This sequel to captain America had entertaining action sequences, but whenever somebody wasn't getting shot or cars weren't flipping, the movie was pretty boring. I just didn't have a good rims with this film like i thought I was going to. I thought the movie kinda drug along in places, and I spent a good portion of the film being bored. I know this movie was pretty darn successful as far as critic and audience reviews go, but I just wasn't that impressed by it. Also, the script and dialogue really was not that great at all, pretty dull If you ask me. I will say that Chris Evans did do a good job, as he did in the first film. I didn't really like Samuel L. Jackson in this movie, I didn't think his performance was up to par. Scarlett Johanson did well with her source material. Overall I think a 4/10 is fair.",4 "I went into this having not watched anything Addams since I was a kid, and with no expectations one way or the other. Wow, did this show amaze me! It doesn't overdo the teen drama, and it finds a great balance for humor in the morbidity. The story was surprisingly good, with plenty of twists and oodles of red herrings. With that said, it didn't push them to the point of brikg obnoxious, which was appreciated. The characters are well done with a solid cast (several great performances, especially by Ortega as Wednesday), and the show ended up having some real heart. It's not perfection, but it will hook you for one hell of a fun ride.",8 "The actors are good, the cgi is decent,I didn't read the books, neither played the games but i must say the timeline is so confusing that multiple times i lost track on whats happening. Instead of providing a straight forward experience we get confused each episode with past and present events on a time span of 40-50 years. I hope the next season will be provide a straight forward timeline or it will lose many viewers.",9 "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, does a FANTASTIC job of story telling. From the amazing sets to the acting, this film does amazing. Though, I felt like halfway into the film, the scenes were dull, it definitely picked up. For every flaw in this film, there is a greater addition. Overall, 8/10.",8 "...and i wish i did the same. This was nothing. A movie designed to please the academy awards committee in a self glorifying tribute to themselves. A remembrance to the movies they used to make (and watch) in ""the good ol days"".. By Hollywood, for Hollywood. There was no story. I was waiting for the movie to start. I wanted to leave SO bad, but i didn't want to ruin the experience for the other people i went to the Cinema with...turns out they were all doing the same thing. And when we left the the cinema, i heard people saying it's the most boring piece of crap they had seen in a long while. I'm not a buffoon, honestly, i like a good musical. I grew up watching Fred Astaire movies with my grandma. This was not that. This movie is living on a hype. Don't buy in to it. Oh and if you kinda went ""oh...ehm...wtf?"" in the flying scene, you're not alone.",2 "I have enjoyed Nolan's films all along until last night, when I viewed his ""Oppenheimer"". I've been fascinated by the story of our abrupt entry into the atomic age, I built a 1/3 scale Little Boy for the sixth grade science fair. This being 1966, so the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki really happened only twenty years earlier, which never fully hit me til much later. So: fair to say I'm reasonably well informed about Oppenheimer and Trinity having read as many books and viewing as many films as I could. So Nolan's fever dream of a film tells the story (so I've been told) in three nearly incomprehensible hours. Not to rip on unconventional cinema- big Charlie Kaufman fan- but this was a hard watch for me. Character development is more or less absent, or left to the viewer. I used to think I knew every player in the story, but it helped little here. The scenes are constantly interrupted by flash forwards (so I assume) of sparks flying and general SFX distractions probably designed to symbolize and constantly remind us of the horror they brought to the world. But the only horror I got out of it was the three hours I'll never get back.",2 "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a solid and visually stunning movie that manages to achieve three things. First, although it takes place in the Harry Potter universe, it stands apart and has its very own story, which can be enjoyed separately from that of the famous young wizard. Second, it drops quite a few hints and names, which not only tie in nicely with the stories that we know, but also serve to set up the next installments, which are rumored to document Dumbledore's past and connection with Grindelwald. Finally, the movie features a bustling 1926 New York, which coupled with the intriguing character dynamics, offers a brand new insight into Rowling magical world and leaves us poor muggles asking for more.",7 "Wow, what an overrated piece of garbage this movie is. If, like so many others, you have terrible taste and think a few pretty shots make up for complete lack of script, action or anything resembling entertainment, then this movie is for you. If you were able to sit through Dunkirk somehow and didn't regret it for some reason, this movie is for you. But, if like me, you actually have excellent taste in cinema and demand more than just a few cinematic pictures to make an enjoyable film, avoid this movie at all costs. Just soooo boring. I mean how they made it so bad is a mystery to me and how some people actually enjoyed it is an even greater mystery. This movie is complete garbage, save your time!",2 "Worst thing I've seen from marvel. One word to describe the show ""boring"", it is simply boring, literally there is nothing new to watch in this show, 6 episodes and nothing, literally the worst villain ever and the most boring. Nothing in this show is impressive, boring dialogue, good cinematography, boring acting, not enough fight scenes, marvel fails.",1 "From the first minutes of this movie, the pacing is just terrible. It feels rushed, spliced, and weird. The remarkably boring love backstory is poorly acted and completely unnecessary! No character is given enough room to breathe or enough thought to develop at all, so you don't care about anything that happens to anyone - the entire movie. I spent 60 of the 90 minute runtime waiting for it to end. Action was fine but generic and, um, mushy. I wish they had put the focus on Cletus and given Carnage the buildup and menace that he deserved. Best part was the after-credit scene, second best part was the new Eminem song.",2 "This movie is set on a very noticeable but not so concerned topic. The way Nagraj Manjule has directed, it's just awesome. No fancy locations, no unnecessary item songs but straight to the point. He has tried to keep realistic as much as he can and I think he has done really good. All the characters even the small children have done more than expected. And what to say about Amitabh Bachchan sir, he is the most influential actor in the history of Indian cinema has ever witnessed. A must watch FAMILY movie !",8 "To be frank, I was expecting this to be yet another garbage-level teen romp flick. However, given the strong reviews from critics, I thought I'd check it out. Wow, what a fantastic surprise this movie turned out to be. The script is very cleverly done and the performances are outstanding. The movie is basically about three high school seniors who are trying to get laid before starting college. The only problem is that they're closer to nerds than jocks. The most ambitious of these three figures out that a great way to score is to promise to bring alcohol to a party. And so begins their underage quest to acquire liquor ... What is incredible about the script is that the characters and situations are entirely believable. Yes, lots of extreme things happen in the story, but they are acknowledged as such and flow beautifully with the way the characters are conceived. The performances of the three main actors, along with the two police officers in the movie, are excellent. In fact, the five of them carry the entire movie. They deliver some hilarious lines in way that sounds like they really believe what they're saying! They're all so interesting and fun to watch that it's a shame that we only get them for one movie. This movie is for mature teen audiences on up. If you're looking for an intelligently written and funny movie, definitely check this one out.",8 "If you haven't read the book you wont understand the movie, things happen which you wont understand, other things happen which seem forced and irrelevant. If you have read the book, you will spend the time raging against the plot changes and clunky plot twists. I won't list my objections yet! I will wait until all the fuss has died down and history has decided a lower rating than 8.",2 "I honestly didn't get why this movie got high rating here. The movie story is too shallow, the people character not strongly built/explored (I even didnt know what's the importance of the fat kid for being there, if he didnt do much or talk much.), many scenes attempted to be laughable-but the best I can give were just a little smile in my face, and I didnt even know what's the added value for this superhero. For me, Wonder Woman and Aquaman still the best DC films, and this one are faaar to be compared.",3 "This series falls short of the expectations that Marvel was trying to build on. I don't feel the connection to the rest of the characters except Bucky, maybe because of the pace of the story which is annoying.",5 "Amazingly Written, Fresh story, Fantastic Acting the only thing is ending is little stretched other than that The movie is masterpiece.👑",9 "Educating, shocking, upsetting. So sad. Very well done and definitely worth watching",8 "Every episode feels very rushed and should have been hour long episodes. Doesn't give you any time to accept what just happened properly. You can't tell me Disney doesn't have the money to do that.",6 "Not one scene was very interesting, nor had any good moments. Except for the beasts because they were good fun. All the woman characters were so uninteresting. Their story of love goes nowhere. In fact all the characters were so dull! If you want to quickly fall asleep for those who have insomnia. Watch this movie. Guaranteed you fall asleep. Plot that doesn't go nowhere!",2 It's worth watching 100%. Great sci fi show. The visual effects are really good and the CGI is also good and creative. The girl that plays Judy is really good. Theres a lot of suspense also. The 3rd season was great and it had closure. Sometimes after a long wait for a final season it can be mediocre but not this time.,9 "This movie...I wanted to like it. Honest. There is much that is good, such as the costumes and attention to visual detail in background props. Also, it's fair to say performances are solid. No award winners here, but the actors didn't cause any issues. Music, however... I'm sorry. It sucked. The music was 80% modern rap and hip-hop, with 20% period instrumentation and style. Hip-hop sung as 20's jazz is still hip-hop. And it does NOT belong in a period piece. So not only did I hate the music now, but in just a few short years, this movie will have no relevance because the music will sound like it came from the 'teens. People watching this for the first time in 2022 (only 8 years from today) will feel how 2012-ish this music is. If you're doing a period piece, then use period music! Perhaps you have the Hot Young Stars of Today perform the music, but if you have a period piece, use period music! Please! Also, there were a series of car driving and car chase scenes that helped to blow the movie for me. The image doesn't sync up with the conversation at ALL. And in every driving scene the cars seem to be driving 100 mph (that's 161 kph for my friends in the rest of the world). The car scenes were so unrealistic, I would rather they didn't even show them at all. A block of text saying ""car driving"" and the dialogue voiced over would have been a great improvement. I wanted to like this movie. I really did. But it's pretty bad. Don't bother watching it.",3 "Po the Dragon Warrior (Jack Black) is back. He's settled in and not only is he a cherished member of his kung fu team, but the people like him too. When a pack of wolves attack a village for their metal Po has a vision-- which was more like a snippet of a memory--and he then has the urge to find his roots. The mission given to him by his master, Shifu (Dustin Hoffman), set him on the path to find his origin. He only has to defeat the wicked power hungry peacock, Shen (Gary Oldman), who has figured out how to use gun powder for his nefarious aims. I thought KFP2 was awesome. Po's backstory was never explored in the first installment, which left it wide open to explore in a sequel. All that remained was an adequate foe to give Po and his team the chance to display their skills. Po is still funny, the animation was still top notch, and the story was a cohesive meaningful story. Brilliant.",8 "Legitimately dumbfounded as to how this film got such high ratings and award nominations. It just wasn't good. Without Rockwell or Scarlett, no one would care about it",3 "The Judd Apatow produced ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"" is one of the latest examples of a comedy form in American cinema that hopefully still has some things to show us. It's also a movie made in family, in which you feel everyone had a really good time and worked really hard so you could laugh out loud; and don't forget, the work of people that have respect for each other and their talents. Some time ago, the humble Apatow directed a script co-written by him and Steve Carell; ""The 40 Year Old Virgin"", and gave Carell the lead role. He had already worked with him in ""Anchorman"", which is not another story because both movies share, among other things, cast members. Then came ""Knocked Up"", an opportunity for Seth Rogen to steal the show; then Rogen wrote the script of ""Superbad"" and was also part of the cast; then Jason Segel (just Jason in ""Knocked Up"") wrote a script, which ended up in the film I'm reviewing, directed by another writer, Nicholas Stoller. Essentially, everything here is about the script. What the script requires, the movie will deliver. After we meet Peter (Segel), naked, being dumped by the super famous Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) and we hear him cry, we also want what his stepbrother Brian (Bill Hader, from ""Superbad""-and ""Knocked Up""-) recommends for him: a vacation. In Hawaii everything looks more colorful, and I don't know if Segel knows much about the culture and the people there, but the way the script puts it, the beach and the hotel where Peter ends up seem to be paradise; specially when a beautiful woman (Mila Kunis) salutes you at the reception. But is it paradise if your ex-girlfriend is staying there with her new guy (a British rockstar wonderfully overplayed by Russel Brand)? I don't need to tell you how funny this movie is because you should know already for the people who made it, although I'll tell you how they admirably work to make it funny. They save us discussions and dialogs about the couple breaking up by going directly to the point; they provide us a vacation with plenty of characters to meet and supply each one of them with a killer line that is not repeated later (smartly, thankfully) for a greater effect-there's only character played by Jack McBrayer that has an inevitably continued joke-; they even make sure we know some of the people we meet (Paul Rudd and Jonah Hill get us an instant smile when we meet them and we feel that we are safe among friends). Segel's screenplay is hard work, developing one character that shares the 'Apatow sindrome' (not to good looking but scoring a strikingly good-looking girl, not getting out of home, few friends, tenderly-or not-addicted to sex) but somehow strikes as different. Segel's writing and his performance make us see a sensitive and committed guy in the way Peter speaks but don't forget to show us the flashbacks of a relationship that most of the time made him look stupid (anything for the sake of a good laugh). The script also dominates the shape of the modern romantic comedy, with its typical structure, adding some elegant personal touches that are all of Segel's merit. The film is not better than others like ""Knocked Up"" because in the whole development of Peter, the movie forgets about the rest of the characters and loses a bit of the Apatow humanity. The women are not fully developed (in fact, the Sarah Marshall of the title seems like a heartless doll, which is in part the point) and there's a lot of the friendship factor, values and talks missing. It's all good though, because the honesty is still there, and because the movie runs too long again and we don't complain (thank you Jason Bateman there in the credits). We just keep laughing.",7 "I'm on episode 3 and I can't believe Marvel has fallen so low. So disappointed. I'll give it one more episode, then that's it. I actually subscribed to Disney Plus so I could watch this...",1 "This movie plays like some rounds of Counter Strike, interesting at first but falls flat quickly. I thought Rambo Last Blood was plotless but compared to Extraction Rambo suddenly feels like a B+ movie that actually stirs some human emotions. Of course if you are into high body count type of movie this is great, just don't expect anything of substance from it.",4 Why care about filming material monsters. here is the next level - during all movie characters run away from some invisible piece of sh.t,3 "The first thing Greta Lee offers Natasha Lyonne in the opening scene of this series is cocaine. The series is set in New York among wealthy artsy types that can afford to spend thousands of dollars on a birthday party and discuss the meaning of life, while everyone else has to work for a living. Natasha Lyonne's raspy voice sounds like chalk across the blackboard, and it gets old really fast. Her cynical attitude in spite of how easy her life is gets annoying. These vapid folks have nothing to do except complain and be miserable as they party and have random sex with strangers.",1 "The bard was hands down the best part of season one! He added much needed humor to an otherwise humorless series. Season one didn't do the best job explaining the world and rules for those who didn't read the books or play the video game. ""He's not especially chatty.""-Siri. Again the visuals and the costumes are fantastic. So many characters that are deeply flawed and unlikable in a story that isn't explained very well. Quick season three note to the directors (as I have struggled watching this series through season 3), there are a lot of issues with the sound. Not only are there massive variations in sound...which leads to moments that are so loud your ears are hurting and you are reaching for the remote, to the dialogue which is so quiet and often mumbled so that you are jacking the volume way up. It's frustrating as a viewer and torturous to the animals sharing our living space. As for the mumbling, there are countless scenes where we are behind the speaker, it's too dark to see, or just no effort is made to show us the speaker and that coupled with some of the characters being allowed to softly mumble their lines is just terrible directing. Also, Henry Cavill is wonderful as Geralt. It is sad to hear he is leaving as he has surpassed the Bard as the best part of this series to date.",2 "After I watched the first episode, I can say that this could look very close to the original series. The first episode didn't give us an epic opening, as some of the reviewers would have liked, and that's why they give a bad rating But you have to wait for at least the first 5 episodes to make a good judgement. The casting may not be as strong as in GOT, but hey, some of them will become real stars after the first season! I think they should be given a chance.",7 "Look, I didn't need this to be Les Mis ofcourse I didn't- two completely different stories for a start BUT what I'm trying to say is that the beauty and magic and gut-wrenching emotion of past successful musicals is completely missing from this one. A musical is a story with musical interludes and this film had the musical interludes but no real story- you know- I didn't care about a single character, least of all Barnham. Thinking about it, this may have come across better on stage, with real, live performances rather than a whole lot of auto-tune- the songs are ok but they all sound the same, like they are all different sections of the same song; crappy pop-tunes in falsetto- no substance, no 'real' voices like Moulin Rouge for example- at least that was actually Kidman and McGregor's singing voices. Not great, won't stick in my memory at all- could have been so much more. I will most likely never watch again.",2 Mundane script. Poor execution. Incomplete character development.,6 "I have to say, I only watched this due to the rating it had got IMDb. I am not normally into comedies, particularly ones that involve American teenagers coming of age sort of thing. The last similar one I watched was American Pie, which although I can understand why people did find it funny, it was not for me. This however was surprisingly hilarious and at times had me laughing out aloud. I would say that men more than women would prefer this film as for me part of the humour was looking back to me male teen years and thinking 'Yes, thats exactly right.' and cringing with embarrassment. In hindsight however, these incidents were funny. The film manages to hit home very well the awkwardness of situations which are of your own doing, and the one track mind of being an adolescence. Throw in some bizarre behaviour by some of societies so called respectable members and the story never really slows down. But for me it has to be the one liners throughout the film, the ones that I have made up my mind to remember but am never able to. I found it so good I was able to watch it twice in 24 hours due to my wife wanting to watch it the next day.",9 "This show probably should've just been a limited series. Season 1 was terrific. The perfect amount of humor and mystery. Great writing and great acting. The quality falls off a cliff with season 2. I appreciate that the writers didn't want to recycle the same idea, I really do. The result is weak and convoluted. This just proves the point more that it should've been a one and done. The acting is over the top and obnoxious. Alan's story is the only redeemable aspect of this season.",6 "Fast paced and action filled. I throughly enjoyed suspending some belief. One man couldn't take all that punishment, but then how many action movies are essentially a one man show? To watch Chris Hemsworth show his physical dexterity was a pleasure. The very Australian one liners scattered throughout out the movie broke the tense action nicely.",7 "First off, let me mention that I was very disappointed with the first Spider-Man movie. I had high expectations with S-M1 ... the trailers for that movie looked awesome, and were very engaging. I couldn't wait for the arrival of S-M1! When I saw the film (on the first day of the release, of course!) I was pretty unhappy. My main complaints were echoed by others: (1) The plot, pacing and character development of Spider-Man 1 was too congested. They were trying to introduce too many characters and plot-lines to comfortably fit in a 2 hour movie. The switching between scenes / plot-lines was pretty chaotic. (2) The special effects were substandard for a movie of this size. Marvel's take on this was effectively: ""It's a movie based on a comic book. We want the movie to have a comic book look."" Oh, come on! How gullible do you think we are? The movie ran short on funds, plain and simple. (3) Some of the lines by the characters were *so* bad that it was laughable in serious moments. The script on one of the love scenes between Mary Jane and Spider-Man was so bad, I'm surprised that they ever got a usable scene - the actors must have busted a gut laughing through it on almost every take. (4) The acting fell short in a number of spots, where I lost the ""magic"" of watching a movie - I wasn't into the characters, and remembered I was just watching actors on the screen. That said, I gave S-M1 a low rating. Now ... on to S-M2! On the outset, I'll just say that each of the complaints mentioned above were addressed. Apparently, Sam Raimi and Marvel paid attention to the problems in the first movie and learned from their mistakes. I'll address the same issues in the same order for S-M2: (1) Plot, pacing, and character development: Excellent! There was only one or two spots where I was thinking ""OK, let's move on."" (One noticable problem: The elevator scene. You'll know what I'm talking about if/when you see the movie) The overall plot was more cohesive than in S-M1, giving enough time for characters to develop properly. Even if you've never read the comic book, you had enough information on each character to understand their motivations. 9/10 (2) Special effects: Incredibly better than in the first movie, but not quite ""real"" 100% of the time yet. Some of the scenes where Spider-Man is swinging amongst the buildings still had an artificial feel to them. It wasn't bad enough to draw your attention to it, though. 9/10 (3) Scripting: Very few bad lines for the actors. Most of the conversations had a ""normal conversation"" feel to them. There were a few scenes where a character would get a little long-winded (Think Aunt May here) to drive home a particular point. 8/10 (4) Acting: Dead-on. I never lost the ""magic"" on this one. All the actors did an excellent job, and nobdy went ""over-the-top"". 10/10 Overall rating: 9/10 azjazz",9 "So, obviously HBO has a near-limitless amount of money to throw away on projects. It just fascinates me that they seem to fall in love with good or great books or ideas, they take (most of) the cast of characters and then toss the remaining book in the (hopefully) recycling bin. If you want to write your own stories, that's great. Otherwise, when invited to play try not to break the other kids' toys.",4 "To begin with something I personally love the work of Del Toro, altough I haven't seen all of the movies he wrote or directed. I have to admit, that his films had always split the audience, but not in this way. When I finally watched it, (after it has already won the oscar's) there was a huge hype around the film, what i've tried to ignore during the film, but i have not succeeded. The whole film for me was a try not a won. The charachters were simple, there were dozens of unnecessary scenes (including sex scenes). The stroyline was predictible, the camera moves, and montages were simple, again. No extraordinary plot. I think this film doesn't even deserve to be 7.+. Don't expect too much and maybe you will enjoy it. Watch ""Pan's Labyrinth"" instead.",2 "Its odd how many people liked this movie, when watching it the introduction of the 4 horse men was pretty interesting but what happened after was not so impressive. The ""magic performances"" are lack luster on the big screen. I'm not saying I can't suspend belief but in this film anytime something ""magic"" was happening it was rather underwhelming. The rest of the film you are following a cop that has no idea where he is going or what he should be doing next. If the director was trying to invoke emotions of pity and boredom then job well done. In the scene where the 4 horsemen are in New York worrying about being caught made me realize that I knew nothing about them besides they are magicians and they don't have the best group chemistry. So who cares if they get caught? At this point you have invested more time with the cop and you begin wondering who this story is really about. If you like crime movies there are a lot of choices and some really stunning ones but this film would not be one of them.",3 "Such an incredible try. I really love the thought. But (a big BUT) Too short to wait. Marvel had to give us long episodes (at least each 45 min.) for explaining the case in detail or episodes should have been released at the same time like netflix. Otherwise, time! does matter...",8 "Funny, smart, clever, witty, and amazing acting. Outstanding performance by Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, and every other person of this absolute STACKED cast. Every familiar face was not only a surprise but each one added their own special quality to this film. I was absolutely captivated by how each and every single character had so much depth and personality. I found myself wanting more, but the 2 hour and 15 min run time didn't feel long enough. I really was able to fall into this world. Usually, movies can drag along, stretching out every last second of that 2 hour time frame, but I found Amsterdam to be, not only refreshing, but a masterpiece in it's time. I will not be surprised when this becomes a cult classic. I spent a good part of my morning reading reviews of top critics and I have to say, I'm surprised that some movie critics got lost in the plot, because not only does it have a relatively easy to follow plot, but it was such an enjoyable ride. This movie has a specific type of humor, and I think that not everyone has that. But even then, it was still such a good watch. Highly recommend.",9 This movie is confusing and I was disappointed. You get a sense of this whilst watching the trailer. Very poor film.,1 "777 Charlie catches you with deep love and emotional feeling between a dog and a ""non-dog lover"" human who later realizes the unconditional love towards him. Feel your own emotions trigger within as you watch the moments like a natural sensitive human along with the character ""Dharma""! Awesome acting by Charlie, Rakshith Shetty, fantastic story and direction by Kiranraj, excellent music by Nobin Paul that never separates the screen and score but carries along the flow of story, great team work by everyone in making this Masterpiece of a Spiritual and divine experience of pure unconditional love!!",10 "A rather boring movie, it is. If you watch the trailer, you pretty much have watched the movie. I mean the good part. As usual a lot of destruction that no one seemed to care. A dull romantic subplot. Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams had a nice rapport, but ignored and cut short. Overall, special effects were at par. No wow at all; what a carnage!",5 "Very boring and very hard to understand their broke English (the actors were Americans) . First the story doesn't make any sense to me, is not a superhero movie, but a movie about a fantasy land with real name. Rich people with superpower and great resources that do not help their own. The critics that acclaim this movie must have real political interest. I spent money to see it in 3 D and I was very unhappy.",3 "It's a lame attempt to create something similar to GoT. And yes people are going to compare HoTD with GoT. I think HBO wanted to earn after GoT ended so they rushed for this one!! What's wrong with the casting director? I know beauty is subjective but they should cast main characters a little bit more attractive and not unconventional looking. They acted well!! All actors no doubt about it and we cannot forget as well that looks matter when it comes to visual medium and honestly they failed or I would say people couldn't connect with the characters!! And WHY?? Because of poor direction and screenplay!! Say whatever about David Benioff and D. B. Weiss but they were able to maintain a good and gripping story throughout 8 seasons regardless of brainless ending and unnecessary s*x scenes!! People connected with the characters and the story was captivating and exciting from first episode. In GoT the choice of directors was good!! HoTD directors just copy and pasted GoT!! And obviously the story is boring and writing/screenplay is poor!! Some actors were really god. The actor who played 'Viserys I' did a great job especially the old age part!! Olivia Cooke is my favourite so I am biased!! I hope second season will be good!! GoT was original that's why it had a global reach!! Few movies or series can create this magic!!",5 "Watching this I feel like Marvel is grasping at how to create content. They have played out the characters everyone fell in love with Marvel over (Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, etc) and instead of tapping into the vast Marvel Universe to bring in new characters they moved on to the bench players that no one really cares about. Most previous main Marvel characters are good protagonists and they have solid antagonists but with Falcon and Bucky being B rated characters it will be very difficult to really get into their story. Marvel writers need to go through the archive and read all the old comics again to get better ideas.",4 "I don't know how this went so horribly wrong, but my husband fell asleep and I was left wondering what to do with myself for two hours.",1 What a movie man what a movie. And yaa i can say that indian army is love. Thanks for everything INDIAN ARMY.,10 Good plagiarism on Polish serial - The hexer,7 "I'm a teenager and I really like watching avatar I discovered it back in 2018 when I was a kid and I thought ""This is a lot better then max steel or ninjago"" the first season was pretty good then the second and third season were great I still rewatch this show today It's just the right balance even I don't know how they make it you should certainly give it a watch.",9 It's a good movie. But nothing so great. LOBBYING SHOULD BE BANNED in any film award process for impartial decisions.,6 "The movie don't make me a lot of scare, but is not bad at all.",6 There are things I love about this film and things I don't. The best part is the child's perspective. Taika Waititi continues this style from his previous film Boy (2010) which also showed the perspective of a young boy. There are a lot of quirky and creative takes on the setting like the imaginary Hitler. The rest of the story like the discovery of the Jewish girl and the theme of love conquering hate were trite though.,6 "how? Wonder Woman 2017 is ""all bragging and zero substance"". just like Trump! you know the feeling you get when you a watch a remake that was over-hyped but it's just an empty shell in fact. well that is what we got. Plot feels forced. Young God coming into a new world trying to save everyone and in the process disappoints in people. Sounds Familiar? That was full-on offensive trying to market this movie like something ground-braking in woman rights or first strong female character! No, guys... Really? Really??!! Facepalm. Poor story, poor characters, boring and uninventive. Nothing more to say.",4 "What I was able to see of this movie was good. It's a good story, good plot, good acting. BIG WARNING HERE: If you are susceptible to motion sickness, do NOT try to watch this movie. It's filmed mostly handheld, not steadycam, and the constant jiggling of the camera nearly made me barf. I had to leave the movie about halfway through and find out from my family what happened in the second half. Needless to say, that was rather disappointing. I had the same problem with Saving Private Ryan. I'm going to try to rent Eternal Sunshine and watch it when it comes out on DVD; I was able to handle Private Ryan on the small screen and I'm hoping I'll be able to handle this one as well.",7 "This is a brilliant mini series. Hands down one of the best out there. The story is captivating and shines a light on a harrowing period in soviet history - I learnt a lot. I'm perhaps an exception, but for me if it had been performed by Ukrainian speaking actors it would have felt slightly more authentic - I completely understand why it was done in English, and it was nonetheless faultless, all the actors - many of them recognisable, were fantastic.",9 "I can honestly say that this was one of the best contemporary sci-fi films I have watched. The visual effects and production design was top-tier. It was as realistic as it gets. The plot really took its time to establish the importance of each and every one of the scenes. The result was a beautifully-made movie about space survival that was emotionally (and psychologically) relevant. Sandra Bullock's performance was on-point, as usual. It was one of those films that takes you on a journey: the way it creates an ambiance which was out-of-this-world and bring you into a dimension like any other space films.",6 "I had to shut this off after 15 minutes. The movie was fine to start--I got used to the CGI almost immediately and the emotion in the eyes of the apes was wonderful. It's when the human actors came on that the script fell apart. 1st strike-- No pharmaceutical engineering company is going to allow a drug to even be considered for human testing based on a single sample (one successful sample) and without extensive subsequent testing for side effects. There is simply too much money at stake. The James Franco character would not have gotten as far in his career as he had if he had been that rash and foolish all his life. The script lost tons of credibility in just the first five minutes. 2nd strike-- In spite of the apparent failure of the one chimp, no corporate CEO would shut down the entire program immediately. The biologists would continue the study, find errors and exceptions and make adjustments. 3rd--The baby is discovered. The biologists who study the apes would not have known Bright Eyes was pregnant? Give me a break. In a real test program the chimp subjects would have been health monitored daily or at least weekly--blood draws, EKGs, etc.--and the pregnancy would have been discovered in its early stages. The script writers could have set up the initial premise of the movie in a more reasonable manner. Instead they took the lazy way out. I like science fiction where the characters are realistic and behave as actual people in the real world behave, even when faced with incredible circumstances. The Matrix, 2001, the original Planet of the Apes--the science fiction becomes credible if it is based on real world laws and the lead characters behave as humans actually do and not as script devices. I have no idea how the rest of the movie was but if it was like the first fifteen minutes then forget it--great acting by Andy Serkis or not.",3 "This is just an average big budget Hollywood movie. Don't expect any complexity or depth from it, it is simple and quite shallow. Technically it's well done, the plot is OK, the actors are fine, the FX are good and hopefully you will have a good time watching the characters running and jumping around, ducking bullets and explosions and so on while a VERY SIMPLE AND QUITE SHALLOW psychological-scifi plot unfolds. But you won't get much else from it. I'm giving it a 7. So folks, don't believe the hype about this thing being a fascinating and revolutionary piece of art, because IT'S NOT. It's just another Hollywood commodity out to make big bucks. If you want some enlightening psychology read ""?"" and don't watch this, for ***ck's sake. There are some really cool effects to this film, but the story is so convoluted that it detracts away from the story.",7 "Bing, crash, hugh, wow, puff, ah, ho, that's about the dialog that is repeated over and over. It's stupidly violent, no scenario, no nothing. Others had say it already, and I cannot understand why this kind of movie is even nominated for something, the fighting choreography apart. It's more a video game with God mode on for the hero, rather than a movie. Total crap. I put 2 instead of one, because of the choreography of the fighting scenes, that are crazy to i. Besides, it's not worth a dime.",2 "The greatest creation of Anurag Kashyap. He's really a very talented director. The plot, the story is just mind blowing and the casting is brilliant. Thanks to Mukesh Chabra, the casting director. The actors he casted in ""Gangs of Wasseypur"", in present time they are called 'Legend of Acting'. All actors and actresses done excellent job, even the debutants. This is definitely a Masterpiece. I'm 💯% satisfied.",10 "Let´s have a look at ""Death on the Nile"", the first one. Bette Davis, Maggie Smith, Peter Ustinov, David Niven, Angela Lansbury, Mia Farrow and many more made that 1978 movie a perfect example for classic style, witty dialogue and suspense in the gold old Agatha Christie way. ""Knives Out"" ist destined to go on that trip but 40 years later they simply don´t know how to do it. It starts with the cast of which only Toni Collette convinced me. As always she knows how to create a character without overdoing it. If you need a lesson in bad acting, just have a look at Daniel Craig as the private eye. I am German but I take the guess that his southern accent is completely wrong. And so is his acting. What is his character about? I don´t care, the same goes for the rest of the cast which I don´t blame on the actors per se, it´s the script that´s lousy and the dialogue could win with more one-liners and sophistication. But it doesn´t have all that. And the story? Very transparent from the beginning and the whodunit aspect is wasted on a rather uptight attempt to make sure the story is twisted. It isn´t really, but that´s for everybody to find out. I wasted my time with this and don´t know where the 7.9 comes from.",4 "Harry Potter excluding wizardry but with werewolfs, sirens and other mythical creatures as a netflix highschool teen drama in the time of tiktok and instagram. Good humor, nice colors, great camerawork, cool scenery and ok casting/acting. I liked how the different creature abilitys were used. But the story was lacking for me. Wednesdays detective work was kept simple so that everyone can understand who the villain could or could not be. The plot was lame and seemed like they threw a dice at the end to decide who the bad guy should be now. In my opinion there was creativity and inventive genius missing but the younger crowd - which this series is adressed to - probably won't care about this.",8 "I'm trying really hard not to song like a prude here and I really don't think I an; I am justso tired of seeing swinging penis's!! Seriously, can we do away with the whole deviant sex angle to this?? The show really doesn't need it! It's getting hard to watch with all the absolute rawnchiness and I find I'm fast forwarding through disgusting scenes that don't seem to lend anything to the story; so can you just stop? Let the story rest on its own. It's a good story.. you just don't need all the extra weirdness. Love the addition of Soldier Boy & Jensen Ackles! Hopefully he'll be back for season 4!",6 "This movie had the potential to tell a compelling story, but they did it all wrong. The movie had good believable acting from Hanks and Denzel Washington, but they completely failed in the way they chose to tell the story. There's just too many courtroom scenes and not enough character development, and that gets very boring and repetitive, very fast. You can't give the movie credit for the story it's TRYING to tell, because as far as I'm concerned, the story it DID tell was not told in an entertaining way, this should've been more character driven. The two main characters weren't developed enough. For one, the transformation of Denzel's feelings about gay people was not believable, there just wasn't enough shown on screen to make the viewer believe that he would have any reason to change his feelings. The way it was directed, it looked as if that opera scene is what changed Denzel's feelings about Hanks, and that's ridiculous to have someone's lifelong feelings that has been etched into their persona be changed almost because of a single incident (like I said, the way it was directed implied this). They should've shown a gradual change and made it interesting, maybe throw in a scene where Denzel protects Hanks from ridicule or something, I don't know, just show some sort of growing relationship to make the viewer care.",4 Salute NAGRAJ MANJULE sir! Well done. Keep it up sir we are proud of u that you are making films which give some message to society. This is better than that other films.,10 "First two episodes were pretty decent. Then it went fast downhill. Not scary at all, just silly. Waste of time.",2 "I get it, it's just ""once upon a time in Hollywood"", but I also don't really get it. I liked all the Tarantino elements, but the plot was just to boring.",4 "Super Duper HIT, Super Direction by Sir Nagraj Manjule... Excellent acting by every Actors,.. fantabulous Story...Evrything is unbelievable.... Hat's off...",10 "A very pleasant watch with decent performances, good dialogue and a fantastic set. Indeed the house with its painted wood walls, books and nick-nacks everywhere and filled to overflowing with interesting items is a marvellous background for all that happens and we feel somewhat bereft when the action switches to the highway towards the end. Ana de Armas is brilliant and her performance not only holds the attention but holds the film together. Daniel Craig is ostensibly the main star but his performance as the eccentric private detective who will solves everything is not strong enough and this allows de Armas to dominate, which I'm sure was the director's intention. Chris Evans is surprisingly good as the errant sone while Jamie Lee Curtis leads the older members of the awful family. Fun but rather overlong denouement reduces the impact a little.",7 "No one from Los Angeles exists because, ""No one is from LA."" Negative. Lice. I have no notes.

This is the worst film I can remember in years and I can truthfully say I will never watch it again because it is too boring and pointless to even consider having to sit through it again. The special effects are good yes but so what the special effects are good in most films in the modern CGI era and we now accept that as a matter of course anyway so why on mother earth everyone is ranting about the oh so brilliant special effects when they are just the norm in most films nowadays is beyond me. The storyline was for the 5-10 age group at best and the dialog between the actors was written on the back of a fag packet in about 10 minutes. That is all you need to know about this film, don't buy it, don't rent it don't see it at the cinema, its a waste of your money and you will realize it about 15 minutes in. If you must see it out of sheer curiosity like I had to then get it for free by downloading on the torrent sites and it will be the best money you never had to spend and you will feel so money supermarket afterward.",1 "Ok so the original series was cheesy with not so stellar special effects, but it had Billy Mumy who was fearless as Will Robinson. This Will is a wuss. Still, the new series is entertaining and for people who've never seen the original is pretty good.",6 "They just put too much time in character development, so much that it becomes repulsive",8 Great series! This is how hero's really are. You can't tell me that people with God like powers are pure as the driven snow....nope. They are going to be as screwed up as much as the hero's in this show. I can't wait to see what Billy and Hughie are going to do in the second season and what Homelanders secret is.,8 "All there is to take away from The Way of Water is the fact that James Cameron cares so little about a story for an Avatar movie and likes to blow that insane budget on mindblowing special effects that are supposed to rivet you by themselves. He expects you to be so invested in the beauty of the 3D fantasy world of Pandora, that you're supposed to forget about the elements that really matter; story, compelling characters, good dialogue and entertainment value. The 2021 sci-fi epic Dune had the exact same problem, but it felt like that movie cared more about the audience than the long-awaited sequel to Avatar does. Film and TV reviews are always meant to give credit to where it's due in the movie or series, so we'll start by stating the obvious/the thing you've heard a trillion times by the time of seeing this review, but the budget of over $300 million dollars is put to some good technical use by delivering an immersive 3D experience that viewers hungry for stunning visuals will enjoy Avatar: The Way of Water for. 13 years have passed and technology has obviously improved a lot since 2009, so the cinematography, special effects and picture quality are more advanced, and watch this film in 3D is an absolute hallucination. The fantastical creatures, underwater sequences, humanoid aliens, colours and action deliver the same effect as the first film, making you ask what's CGI, what's shot in real life and how this is all possible. However, this movie thinks it can crawl away from criticism if it's able to impress us with the visual effects, even if it's lacking of elements that are much more simple, though much more important. The story consists around daily events as Jake Sully has now had a family with Neytiri, and a lot of the film focuses on their parenting or the kids getting themselves into trouble. There is no connection at all to the problems the characters must face, the characters themselves, or the uninteresting fantasy world we're supposed to care about. Therefore, this film is extremely boring, unoriginal, predictable and messy. Unless special effects are enough to impress you, Avatar or movies like it don't deserve your money, time or support, and you should shouldn't be afraid to skip it in a heartbeat.

Ryan Reynolds & Jason Bateman (Two who i very much enjoy team up for this epic adventure of switching lives from urinating in a public fountain but boy is it funny. I don't think there's a single scene in this film that i didn't laugh at, i found this such a great experience and I've happily seen it at least 5 times. If you are ready to laugh non-stop then this is the film for you, it has comedy, it has romance, it's quite the thrilling adventure you'd hope for in a comedy and more. Hughly recommend, worth the watch!",10 "I wanted to watch this show I had read so much about. I knew that reading the raving positive reviews would probably ruin it for me, I entered the upside-down with an open mind. It started off nice, set the story and characters firmly in place and proceeded on a constant slow pace, developing certain characters and story-lines all along until the end. What got me hooked on though was the mystery of it all and how the show will tie up the individual character stories. It did an okay job in that department and I feel like it could've been so much more. The overall story stood mediocre but gripping, throughout the eight episodes. Some of the characters introduced were unnecessary. Winona Ryder's, and the kids' acting was over the top at some points while David Harbour was a rock, perfect fit for the role. For a story based in the 80's, the slang that the kids use felt out of place, like the show's music. While I enjoyed the show, it left me feeling like I was missing out on something. People I know were going crazy about it and I just thought it was okay. Maybe I shouldn't have read the reviews beforehand, but the show needed a bit more work on the story and dialogue to be termed as ""Masterclass"". My Rating: 7/10 +1 for nostalgia. ""Should I stay or should I go""",7 This anime shows how we have conquered the world step by step through science. The story is very beautiful. I will recommend it to everyone.,9 "10 years on in 2020, I revisited this movie trying to see if it was me that hated it or was it really beyond my time and abilities! . Nah. This movie is just rubbish still. This movie is not for any mature person. Young people (ideally below 25 years of age) who have unrealistic imagination and is willing to gobble up any gobbledegook these days are perfect for this. If you have any degree in medicine, you puke early on. Otherwise you may just sit it out half way. The only other way is to sleep and create a dream that you finished the movie. It is so characteristic of this day and age where people are afraid to call BS just because they think that they have to be seen as appreciating things that others have upvoted; -similar to be seen as enjoying "" modern art"" which is just rubbish doodling. Waste of time, but if you fast forward it and just see the ""effects"" you could avoid wasting your time.",3 I watched this movie today and it appeared a little bit weak when it came to plot. The story was something very dull and it failed to engage me. I have given 5 stars just because of good action scenes. Although the movie didn't lived upto the hype it created. Chris Hemsworth looked good but Randeep Hooda looked quiet dull. Still its a one-time watch.,5 This is a well acted film that is let down by the lack of a conclusion. It's like an overly long first episode that gets you wanting to see what happens next which works when next is next week (or even straight away when you're streaming) but not next year. Left the cinema with an overall feeling of Meh!,6 "Your villain was someone who couldn't get over her fake kids? Really? With so much available content to work with from Marvel comics, that's the best you could do? On top of that, every scene needed to be woke? When I saw the black husband, I knew it would go downhill from there. This disaster was meant for a tv screen, not a movie theater. Good thing I only spent $2 renting it.",3 "Warning: This movie contains really disturbing scenes and visuals. Therefore I do not reccomend you watching it alone at night. Higher your expectations of getting scared so your adrenaline level keeps you calmer during some parts in this A24 horror masterpiece. Best part of this film is its flawless sound editing and SFX... Directing and acting are other good aspects. Its dramatic arc is a little predictable but come on this isn't drama genre so no problemo chico... This is some new school hardcore horror genre. I would call it Neo-horror. Do not show it to your teenager siblings please. It can really harm their psyche. A solid 8.5/10.",8 Terrible dissapointment! Screen play poor. De Niro is one of the great actores in the history of movie making but this one he laid an egg. Joe Pesci & great Al Pzcino too old for these roles.,5 "This film does not give you a patriotism overdose . They have done with the emotional and slightly cheesy line of Suniel Shetty Yeh Dharti Meri Maa Hai from Border. Vicky Kaushal gives you a new and strong Army officer to cheer for. He is brilliant in this role. Mohit Raina provides great support in a very short role. Paresh Rawal is undeniably cool and says some of the greatest lines in the movies like yeh naya hindustan hai, Andar ghus ke marega... Yami Gautam looks pretty and plays her role really well. The casting is impeccable. Rajit Kapur's Potrayal of PM Narendra Modi in this movie is far more convincing than Vivek Oberoi in the biopic of the same name.",10 "Any time a movie prioritizes messaging, there's an all too long history of the end result suffering, whether in terms of its storytelling, its general craftsmanship, or both. Broadly, this trend holds true even when a message is important, admirable, and agreeable. Case in point, last year's slasher 'They/them' was troubled in various ways, but above all in how immensely upfront it was about its otherwise gratifying messaging; sure enough, the writing suffered in turn. This 2023 film is not free of that same issue, for it is extremely, emphatically forthright and downright strident about the ideas at the root of the screenplay and which it wishes to convey; they're terrific ideas, but literally from the very beginning we see and hear exactly, indisputably, what the script wants to communicate. More than that, this is a picture that strives to be, say, and do a lot, and in fact it is, says, and does so much that it's a little overwhelming - I earnestly think the finished product would have benefited from some thoughts being left out so as to tighten the whole and assert greater focus. And though I somewhat repeat myself, it's well worth accentuating that the feature is majorly heavy-handed, with astonishingly little of the content being given a delicate, nuanced touch for the viewer to pick up on or feel for ourselves. It's a title that wears its neon pink heart on its sleeve, and there's no possibility of missing it. And yet what's truly amazing is that for all this, 'Barbie' is also a movie that is incredibly, exceptionally smart. I can't readily think of any other title that was so predominantly blunt, gawky, and straightforward in its presentation, but which simultaneously impressed with the absolute supreme intelligence behind everything that's being shoved in our faces. Within the slant of being overfull and immoderate, it's nevertheless remarkably well-rounded and balanced. Everything it endeavors to be, say, and do is treated with that same frank hand, and all is blended together into a slurry where no facet is allowed to especially outshine the others. It bounces from trenchantly triumphant to awesomely artificial, to wildly wacky, to dourly dispiriting, to honestly heartfelt, to satisfyingly sincere, and back again, but the progression still feels natural and meaningful, not to mention purposeful, and we never experience whiplash. It is entirely unabashed about the values it wields like a flaming sword of vengeance, and the themes that serve as its very blood: feminism, independence, denunciation of patriarchy and toxic masculinity; self-discovery and self-realization outside any strict confines or definitions that are forced upon or underhandedly given to us, or which we unwittingly construct for ourselves; the need to be active agents of our own liberation, active defenders of what we wish to build, and active stewards of what we wish to maintain - and much, much more. Then, too, it plainly champions diversity even in just the casting, but ultimately acknowledges the advisable place and just importance of diversity, and equality, in governance and representation; touches upon the evils of capitalism, and also the multifaceted elements of what Mattel's signature doll represents, for good and for ill; recognizes that women, who can and should be anything they want, can be and may want to be mothers, too. It's not inaccurate to say that 'Barbie' acts to upholds what are commonly seen as leftist or humanist ideals, yet those who decry the feature as part of some subversive agenda either haven't actually seen it, or can't discern the immediately transparent notion that values that seek a better, more equitable world for everyone can only be said to be dangerous insofar as they threaten those values that work to sustain inequality and injustice. Meanwhile, setting aside the writing which is so enormously essential to all that this is, the film is stupendously well done in every other regard. The cast is a blast, simply put, obviously all having a fantastic time - but for as weird and widely varied as the parts and scenes may be, everyone also gives excellent performances no less worthy of appreciation than anything else that any of them have done. It rather goes without saying that Margot Robbie is altogether luminous as the stereotypical protagonist, but I personally am also very happy to see Hari Nef here so prominently, and Kate McKinnon is an outright joy. The crew put in magnificent work in every last regard, from spellbinding, colorful sets, to bewitching costume design, to impeccable hair and makeup, and more. Editing, cinematography, direction, sound, stunts, effects: I do not jest when I say that everything here looks fabulous. The music is a wonderfully fun garnish that I in no way anticipated, and all who contributed to the soundtrack in any way are to be congratulated; those instances of choreography that we see are utterly superb, providing a level of glee that I'd have never supposed even based on advance marketing. And as if all the huge, concrete ideas behind the screenplay weren't enough, the story in and of itself is genuinely entertaining and compelling, let alone highly rewarding. The scene writing is marvelously strong, rich, and varied, keeping the proceedings fresh and engaging from start to finish; the dialogue and characters are as shrewdly penned as anything else in these two hours. What here is not brilliant, when all is said and done? Well, I gave my answer when I first sat down, but even if it's not flawless, the imperfections here are less about any discrete weaknesses or shortcomings and more about how stunningly busy the script is, stuffed to the proverbial gills and nearly straining to keep itself together even in the face of so much skill and wit. And if that's the worst that I can say about a picture, then I'd say it's done darn well for itself indeed. The promise of a star-studded cast, filled with persons I admire, and the involvement of an esteemed filmmaker and her partner, did nothing to quell skepticism when news first surfaced of a live-action Barbie movie on the big screen. The first teaser and subsequent trailer elicited much favor, but still I had my reservations, wondering above all how the same dazzling energy could possibly be sustained for a full-length feature. Then, to be frank, there came the swift, abrasive reactions from certain people - reactions that were laughably alarmist and apoplectic, not to mention outlandish and unreasonable. Suffice to say that such breath-taking reactions were the tipping point for me, as they elevated Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie,' from ""a film I might like to check out if I have the chance,"" to a must-see. And now that I have? While all my doubts have been erased and I could hardly be more pleased, I can also safely say that this is not the movie I was expecting. That riotous energy of the teaser and trailer isn't here for the whole runtime (though, most of it, certainly). What we get as complement and in its place, though, is masterful mindfulness and craftsmanship, and a jarring, somewhat backhanded, but very welcome and refreshing, wholehearted sincerity that is all the more smarter for the ways in which, sights unseen, it's kept hidden. Ironically, I ponder if this isn't too lofty in its writing, possibly going over the heads of those who might benefit most from what it has to offer. Even if that's true, though, this is so splendidly well done that it will hold up indefinitely, and be something to revisit time and again, both for those who want to see what we may have missed before, and to ensure that its message reaches the widest possible audience. When I was younger I'd never have thought a Barbie flick could be this good and substantive, but here we are: Gerwig's picture is well worth watching, and earns my very high, hearty recommendation.",8 "This was a tough watch. I cannot believe these things happened. This was a purely evil event that cannot be understated. The people who orchestrated this botched ordeal deserve to rot. With that, the creators made something spectacular. Watching every event unfold was beautifully executed, but as the title of this review states, don't watch this expecting entertainment. I had to take a break halfway through because I had to process it all. The creators made this a true to life as possible, and it was heart-wrenching, difficult, but necessary to see the wicked hearts of men. It also shows there were decent people amidst the evil. I'm for nuclear energy, but this shows definitely makes you think twice on that position.",9 "I enjoyed the show, but I gave it 4/10 because by the 3rd season it was getting redundant and a bit silly. I enjoyed the characters, but I wouldn't/couldn't sit through watching it again from season 1.",3 "After watching the first episode all I could think is Billy Bat. Great manga by Naoki Urasawa. There is mystery written everywhere. I keep guessing what will come next, where this series is going. And the wait paid off after the fourth episode. Still more mystery. This is not like any other Marvel Movies. It is darker. But don't worry there are still some humor to like. The casting is great, the production is good. With a twist here and there. My only problem is the episodes are too short. I think they should add more minutes to explain things. Like where is the witches come from. What is inside the book. What is the power of Rambeau. And I wish they make the final with more action. The last fight is not as gritty as other Marvel Movies.",8 "Let me start by saying that I'm keeping myself totally out of the Marvel vs. DC debate. I own every Marvel AND every DC movie ever made (yes, even the old Captain America movies!) and I watch them no matter if they're good or bad. I love superhero movies. And that might be just the thing with this movie - because it doesn't FEEl like a superhero movie. It feels like Mad Max, a huge chase interrupted for a few moments, and then the chase continues, lots of fighting and explosions and gratuitous violence (more than ever before in a Wolverine movie!) but very little character, very little plot and a super-depressing story line that ends up in tragedy. I don't understand the appeal of the new wave of films where heroes have to be portrayed as old and dying people. ""Mr Holmes"", ""Star Wars VII"", ""Logan"" and there's talk of a new Indiana Jones...why not let the heroes remain the heroes they are? They don't get better from being shown as old, bumbling men dying of cancer or Alzheimer's! ""Logan"" is all the things that some people have wanted from Marvel movies for a while now. Dark, gritty, violent, brutal. But at the same time, it's lost the fun. It's lost the thrill of the superhero. It's lost the heart. I have nothing bad to say about the main . Jackman does a good job playing Logan, and Patrick Stewart finally gets to say ""f*ck"" as Professor X. The guy playing the villain is so one dimensional, however, that you will lose sight of him when he turns his side. Donald Pierce in the comic was an industrialist and a member of the Hellfire Club. Here, he's a good with a mechanical hand. What a waste. The fight scenes look good. It's nice to see Jackman go full-out berserker rage Wolverine, and X-23 (even though she's a very bad actress) is good at the fighting stuff. All in all, this is quite literally the first time in years, I've walked out of a superhero movie with this conflicted emotions in my head. It's not horrible like Fan4Stic. It's not fun and wild like Doctor Strange. It's not a good story like Civil War. It's just...kind of a dark letdown. But I'll probably still get the Bluray. It will just end up next to Fan4Stic and Electra and Catwoman amongst the ones I just own because I want a complete collection.",3 "Depicts how the relationship of two troubled people evolves over time. It is interesting to see how such complexities interact over time , but I guess the script falls short of telling the full story. Maybe more dialogue shorter sex scenes? The dialogues are unable to capture the subtleties in the story. Maybe inner voices , flashbacks ? The actors are good but not that great to survive on a weak screenplay. The ending though was quite nicely done and the story gets more captivating over time .",7 "In recent years it seemed to me all too often that action movies directors and script writers felt like they had to choose between characters development and a coherent plot, this one strike the balance as close to perfection as I've seen in a very long while. It does help the actors (as I've said more than once - good actors can work wonders when they have properly written characters to work with), and even more important as far as I'm concerned, it helps in examining the moral core of the whole sci-fi comics concept. The inherent fascist undercurrents of the entire super hero idea. This concept has been dealt with by all the real good comics adaptations, both on screen and on print. Bottom line, it's a fun ride with added value to boot, if you like sci-fi comics adaptations, this one is a must see.",9 "Guy Ritchie doesn't make movies, he makes delivery systems for stupidity. Loud, empty, aggressively uninteresting, a Guy Ritchie movie is almost as ugly as Christmas in a dorm room and just as depressing. At least in your dorm, you could make phone calls home and maybe read a book. In a Guy Ritchie movie, all you can do is sleep. And you can't even do that unless you bring earplugs. Ritchie diligently repeats every piece of information - vital, moderately important, irrelevant - as if convinced the audience shares his I.Q. deficit. Redundancy is a fond memory in his world: dead horses at least make a different noise when beaten in different locations. Shake a stick at Guy Ritchie and you get the same reaction every time, a hollow thud resonating in a void. A very loud hollow thud. Downey is fine, but he's been better in better comic books. Jude Law is very good, but other than SLEUTH, when was he not? And the great wasteland of this SHERLOCK, and of any Guy Ritchie product, is populated by excellent supporting players brought to mediocrity. Ritchie has succeeded in failing to make Mark Strong an exciting screen presence, a feat even Ridley Scott couldn't accomplish; the lovely Rachel McAdams, who has proved her ability in drama and comedy, here can't even manifest the basic facial expressions of the pantomime: fear? Nope. Passion? Uh-uh. Boredom? Well, we're together on that one. Yes, I've read every one of the Conan Doyle stories, and yes, there's ample support for Holmes as a pugilist, a narcissist, an adrenaline junkie. What I have failed to find any previous evidence of is Holmes as a soporific. Guy Ritchie has performed a sort of Christmas miracle by making one of the great dynamic intellectuals of literature into a dull, third rate professor of history. If you're going to make a movie with more than five set pieces, you'd do well to realize you're making an action movie. And if you're making an action movie, it behooves you to ensure that the audience hasn't seen every one of the fights before, not only in countless other movies but in THIS one! What a breakthrough, Guy. Watching one of your movies is like regurgitating a piece of gristle. Madonna, mediocrity that she is, was as close as you ever got to significance.",3 Just watched episode 5 and all I can say is WOW about this series. Truly remarkable. The first episode got me hooked. As for all the reviews about how the second episode should've been first...it takes a certain amount of intellectuality and understand of why that happened. Just like how Madonna released Frozen as her first single off her award winning album and not Ray Of Light. I honestly can't think of a better comparison. I truly hope this episode finds a second season. Perhaps in another country...another city. Like Singapore. The plight of the maids can't be forgotten...oh...and expats too LOL.,9 "Really predictable, easy story, lots of holes. Characters trying to act like they're cool but not as cool as they think they are. It's enjoyable about 30 percent of the time, then you're just bored.",2 "Now, that a week has spend after his releasing ay theatres, i'll explain muy question in Pesce. After five or six years after this, could there be something about this movie that makes recomended, else of his hype and the marketing? I Am not a really Marvel or DC's fan, but i loved some of their movies such as; DC's: Dark Knight all, Wonder Woman, Man on Steel, Shazam. And Marvel's: Guardians of the Galaxy, Dr Strange, Winters soldier, and of Course: Infinity War. But i was waiting a lot about this, i has too big expectations, them go to the midnight releasing and i found a fast food product of movie; horrible script, horrible performance, stupid logic, terrible story. Really is this the current cinema's way? I ll'get out of this awful and cheap movie theather.",2 "I must criticize the lack of excellence by Tom Cruise. This is a high speed movie for which high frame rate is not only appropriate but DEMANDED in the 2020's. The scenes were shot on the Sony Cine Alta Venice 2 camera with 6K sensor -- that has the capacity for 59.94p at all aspect ratios. Basically, Tom Cruise put everybody through rigorous training camp, just to distribute and project 90 year old technology of 24 frams per second (FPS), for supersonic subject matter. Well guess what... for distribution at 24FPS, the editors must cut countless hours of excellent rapid motion material that was too fast for 24 FPS. When Tom Cruise says that the movie is best viewed in IMAX -- he is fraudulently lying to your face (or ears). And actually Tom Cruise is referring to ""LIE-MAX"" since true IMAX film is 18K resolution, or 130 cycles/mm at 30% response (Kodak D96 developer, ANSI Standard PH2.39-1977 (R1990) -- EASTMAN 2366 datasheet. LIE-MAX is like 64kb/s audio on an iPod. Few people actually care about REAL quality, and are bamboozled by marketing hype. A movie like this, shot at 6K resolution, looks only slightly better from an IMAX 4K Laser video projector, as it does from a standard Christie 4K projector. My advice: Wait for the High Frame Rate UHD release, and watch it at home.",3 "If you think Nazis are funny, you might like this film. If you think using music like Tom Waits and German versions of Beatles songs to make Nazi's cool is acceptable, you will likely love this movie. I didnt connect. Plus Johansen is a horrible actress.",2 "i started skipping scenes by episode four....then got a bit interested in episode 7 and 8 and back to skipping again till the very end! God. What is IMDb rating coming to where it makes no sense to have such repetitive brainless fisticuffs in darkness being getting a rating above 5.0?? Trying to explain the sad life of the people who give this 7.0 8.0 or 9.0 is not my job, but it just gives me a feel for the low expectations they have of these series. People say OOOh marvel..aahhhh marvel,,then it must be good, ...some just live on personal feelings for the first season and just seeing people from the first series being resurrected would make them feel good enough to mark this useless second season higher than it should be marked. Pathetic. Only consolation is i may have saved an hour of my life by skipping the obvious silly dialogue. It was refreshing to see that girl's thick legs in a skirt when the season started, but soon overacting ruined it all for me. .....",2 Only one episode and this pilot episode should have left us wanting for more. Well for me it didn't. Hopefully it's just a slow start for the series and i wish them well.,4 "I love Spielberg and there's no doubt he's the most successful director of all time. If you look at his library of films, they are the biggest box office and most awarded and critically acclaimed of any director. That said, knowing this is an autobiography, it's pretty boring. Scenes go on too long and the film really goes no where. Honestly, I think a real biography that starts where this movie ends would be interesting. I was just bored by this. I wanted to like it but I couldn't. There are a couple good scenes here and there but overall, I can't imagine how people were entertained by this overly long movie. But hey, a lot of what I like and dislike isn't what most people like, so there's that. But for me personally, it was boring and long winded.",5 Every body did brillant work but rajkumar roa and Pankaj Tripathi nailed their characters. Both of them were fantastic. Their screen presence and cic timing was hilarious. They have never played such diverse character but still they nailed it. And the actress who qwa,10 "I was hesitant to watch this because I've been playing chess for 30 years and usually Hollywood gets things wrong when it comes to certain niche subjects (aviation comes to mind). The show gets the chess right with its history (talking about alekhine, morphy, et al) but for reasons that I'm sure involve some kind of law, don't put real (to the time period) chess masters as the characters. I imagine the main Russian player was supposed to be Karpov but ultimately who knows? The show definitely tells a good story from the beginning of Beth's love of chess to the trials and tribulations along the way to the final chapter against the Russian. I personally think there was one episode too many and it kind of dragged along in some parts. It's not one full episode being dragged but certain scenes that were 2-3 minutes each and those equaled a full episode. It's good to watch once at least. I won't watch it again but recommend anyone interested in either chess or seeing an orphan's story.",8 "This movie may have broken records, but the fact remains that the graphics and the special effects are what truly made this film. I myself fell victim of this when I saw it in 3D at a cinema. I thought it to be one of the most entertaining things I had ever watched. However, when I watched it on my standard definition 2D television, my opinion what greatly altered. As far as I see it, beyond the lavish explosions and the battle climaxes, I see a complete absence of characterisation (ie, I still can't remember half of their names) accompanied by what some would phrase as a ""cheesy"" story-line. A summary of this film would be:- a number of overrated, or generally terrible films have cruelly welded together - without any attention whatsoever to create this. The Hurt Locker was the rightful winner of the primary Oscars (Best Picture, Best Director, etc.). Avatar is only worthy of the technical variety. This is better served as just a trailer on an IMAX screen. 3 hours are noticed when you are anywhere else. In short: Movie-making: Awful Visual Effects: Incredible",2 "Holy cow this show is soooo good. Binged the first 5 episodes in one sitting, I could not stop watching! Amazing plot, not predictable. I was drawn to characters in a way that made me connect with them, it was amazing. However I'm not sure what happened to episodes 6 through 9 because they were totally not as binge worthy as the first 5 episodes but good nonetheless just wish the same momentum was continued. It just felt like they were trying to make up random separate drama with separate characters or dragged out scenes that could have been summed up in 10-20 mins. Give me more zombies! Just filler honestly. Maybe it'll come together in season 2 maybe not.",8 Gem of Tamil cinema. Very engaging from front till end. Chirstopher the best villain of all time.,10 "I don't know how Rian Johnson does it, but he just continues to not miss as a filmmaker (disclaimer: I have not seen The Brothers Bloom, but have enjoyed everything else from him). He's remarkably consistent, and that becomes even more apparent with this sequel to 2019's Knives Out. Just three years later, he has another satisfying, twist-filled comedy-mystery, with a whole new location, and only one recurring character. I like how it mixed familiar aspects from the first with new ideas and new twists. It struck a great balance between giving you what you'd want (and expect) to see from a movie like this while also keeping you on your toes, thanks to the film's unpredictable structure, and multiple twists spread throughout that always prevent things from feeling stale. Unfortunately, I don't feel there's anything that can really be said about the plot; most information would give too much away. There's an initial promise of a mystery, and it's set on a fairly remote island. Starting around the 45-minute mark, anything goes structure/narrative-wise. The first Knives Out did something similar, but the way it's done in Glass Onion feels far from derivative. It also feels like a spoiler to say who excels in the cast, because you wouldn't want to know who ends up making the most impact in a mystery like this, with a big ensemble cast. Everyone was good, but Daniel Craig and two other members of the cast were the standouts - genuinely, even saying who those two were would mean hinting at their role in the story, and I just wouldn't want to do that. It's a fairly long movie, but mostly stays engaging. There's one aspect of the story concerning a character's motivation and point of view that wasn't fully explained at the end, which soured the otherwise great conclusion a little. I wouldn't call it a plothole, but unless I missed something, it felt like it might have been an oversight. Still, when so much works about a movie, it's hard to get too hung up on the fairly minor issues, which is how I ultimately feel about Glass Onion.",8 "Where to start? Story is a mess, characters are a mess, ending is a mess. Main character is exhausting. It is shocking because it is totally plausible. You will hate it or love it. Personally, I didnt like it, but I recognize what it took to green light it, produce it, and make it knowing what a mess it is. Great job.... dont make another one like it.",5 "If super heros were real in America, this is exactly how it would go down. Brilliant use of super hero powers and corporate America tell such a gory, comedic story.",8 "I really have tried to like this. I'm of the age that grew up with Bewitched and I dream of Genie and these were pieces of art compared to this heap of dung. Watched three episodes now the best thing I can say is its now in colour and widescreen. There seems unlike the aforementioned shows no real chemistry between Wanda and Vision, which ruins the show. I would prefer to watch 6 Seasons of 2 Broke Girls than another episode of this.",2 "I really enjoyed the style of this film. The setting was perfect, the production design was stand out and the energy in not only most of the acting but the editing was another positive. My strongest criticism is towards the story, I liked it but I feel the film was too busy being quirky to give us full context into the mystery. I felt lost often but somehow was able to predict the ending from about half way in. I feel for the film to hit perfectly it either needed to focus more on its mystery or more on its comedy. As the two seem to be working against each other. Christian bale was simply a joy to watch though and he truly carried this film in its moments where it lacked. And also Taylor Swift has a moment early in the film that truly took me by surprise and I just wish the film was able to catch me off guard like that more. The ending really didn't feel like a revelation, it felt more like a confirmation of what we the audience have already been told, but some how the characters only just found out. But still I really enjoyed it, just room for improvement in my mind.",6 "This is great show, but without season 5. Season 5 is comedy.",9 Not sure why this movie has got such a high IMDB rating. The film was pretty poor throughout. Not particularly funny and a bit childish. DC Comics really don't know how to make good movies.,4 "This film does not live up to its score, I wanted it to, but unlike black panther this one bored me. After a promising opening half it turned into monotony and repetitive cgi. Very little to keep me from checking how long there was till it finished. Saw it projected onto the whole wall so it wasn't ruined by a small screen, just a flimsy script on a predictably glossy packaging. Lacking substance.",4 "A film that will bring out your feelings. Whatever they may be. Seeing the senseless brutality and savage treatment of men or women because they were born with a different color skin than you. The acting is superb and will make you feel their anguish and pain. It's pitiful to see and angered me greatly throughout this film. The stage sets and clothing were believable. You had a feeling of entering this time in history which helped the film incredibly. Seeing him hanging from a noose on a tree, put there for punishment..... Seeing other young men hung for any excuse, seeing the women slapped and taken advantage of...I wanted to jump through the screen and try to help these people. I'd recommend this film for a more mature audience but I'd definitely recommend you see it.",8 This iconic debut for Aamir Khan QSQT is best film of late 80s Story Acting Direction All are perfect,10 "Can't believe I wasted nearly 2 hours of my life watching this, I can't believe Tom Hardy would lower him self to star in this waste of time. Only watch if you've got nothing else to do and you are at your wits end or else don't bother",3 "I've just finished watching the umbrella academy and I had to limit how many episodes I watched each day cause I didn't want it to end it's outstanding tv the use of music is brilliantly done it reminded me of pulp fiction way the music was intertwined into the story the acting is spot on and the only reason I didn't give it 10 out of 10 is cause I wasn't to keen on the vanya character who started to really annoy me towards the end but I can forgive that cause the rest of the show is just fantastic especially the character number five and the actor who played him, to anyone who hasn't watched it yet give it a go you won't be disappointed.",9 I am sorry for everyone watched this. First two hours are unbelievable slow. Last 20mins fun movie. If it was not QT this would never be mentioned ever!,4 "Plot: the first two episode... well, I don't even know why they did in this boring way. After those two there is an intriguing mystery that keeps your attention awake but it last not very long. The last part is just the usual Marvel stuff, everything already saw again and again. Actress and Actors & Acting: the cast is not bad and I have to tell that Elizabeth Olsen is a very good actress and Paul Bettany too. Thanks mainly to them this show was not so bad. Visual Effects: well, it's Disney, right? This is the only thing that they keeps it extremely good. Soundtrack: it never goes out of tune, it's enjoyable. Conclusion: another Marvel-classic story with nothing really new or original. I think that Marvel Universe is going to brim with all these stories. At least there are the main characters that are very good in acting!",6 "This is the best film Quinton Tarrantino and Leonardo DiCaprio have ever done. It is also the best work that Brad Pitt has ever done. That being said, Tarrantino has never really made a legitimate film; but this is the closest he has come. He is getting better. It is a good period piece. DiCaprio can never be a macho actor even though he has tried a dozen times to do so. Even Marty couldnt convince the audience he was a gang leader in old New York. Lewis, yes, Decaprio? Please. He is more like that great funny guy who doesnt know where to find the hole for his motorcycle.. Pitt, on the other hand, has no problem handling the macho role. To his credit, DiCaprio does have a few good scenes (his missing lines rage and his bad guy satire); however, he gets bogged down in his other scenes. Pitt is consistently good in every scene he is in and will win the Academy Award this year for Best Supporting Actor. Amusingly enough, because the Academy outrageously omitted Adam Sandler for Uncut Gems from the nominations, Pitt could have won Best Actor in the category had he been nominated. But now that award will probably go to Phoenix for Joker. A wise decision to have him nominated for Best Supporting Actor. This film will not win Best Movie of the Year; that honor will go to 1917, which is already a classic. Best Director and Cinematography will also go to 1917. The only other possible winner might be Parasite, but not this amusing film. Tarrantino is getting better though.",6 "Which was lame, predictable and rife with his obsessive political proselytizing and highly derivative of his previous work. This television rendering while being perhaps a bit too stylish, was well acted, particularly by Cynthia Erivo who played the profoundly irritating recurring character from King's Hodges trilogy, OCD P.I. Holly Gibney, and did the near impossible with her. By transforming her into someone sadly charming, relatable, interesting and one we could empathize with and root for. In other words, nothing at all like the highly exasperating, uninteresting character of the books.",6 "Sorry - was that too harsh. Just frustrated with casting choices for characters that are so well defined and described in the game! There's no shred of the emotional depth, worry, and somewhat fragile toughness of Ellie. A kid who has seen and experienced too much in life already. Even Pedro Pascal and Anna Torv looks annoyed with Bella´s acting. The CGI, setting and atmosphere is quite amazing though. Victoria Thomas is usually such a brilliant casting director - but something went wrong here. Was the notion - that if she looks somewhat ""different"", we'll believe she has a unique DNA!? Dear creators - please do a better job developing Ellie´s character and guide Bella in her acting.",5 "This is the most boring and confusing bs I have ever watched. I watched GOT 3 times over. And still! Just what I wanted... a show where I have to get online and figure the **** out who everybody is while I watch it. Never knew just what I needed was too rewind 42 times because I missed something, on account uh, I'm also doing research.... There is no comedy, my dad hates that the most, Tyrion, the Hound right off the top of my head, hilarious! I get we're going back even further, and the ages are getting darker. But I haven't laughed one time watching this, it's hard on account uh, how dull it is. If this gets any worse or stays as bad as it is just call it. Wait till dude writes a couple more books then bring back GOT.",2 "This movie was very good. Robert Downey Jr. brings a lot of fun and humor to this film as he did previously to the first film. Lots of great action and fun CGI with entertaining performances from Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johanson, Samuel L. Jackson, and Sam Rockwell. Mickey Rourke is perfectly cast as the super villain and looks totally BAD A**. The movie is fun to see with friends with a few thrills and laughs and hot supporting actresses. It is not an epic or a great film but is lots of fun. The first Iron Man is a better movie but this might be a bit more fun. This film introduces SHIELD and a ton more new characters to look forward to in the coming films. I liked the film and I think you will too. This is the second best summer action thriller to come out so far with Inception being by far the best. Cannot wait for the third. Please tell me if this review helped you and email me at uwanttoknome@aim.com if you would like to talk to me about it.",7 "WOW that was one hell of a good movie. It was way better than the first One, Don't get me wrong the first one was great . But the second one was Amazing. I was On the edge of my seat thought the whole movie. I loved the villain Doctor Octopus was cool very cool. But what I like the most was that Aunt May & Mary Jane both know that Peter Parker & Spider-Man are one and the same.Also I loved the elevator scene & The I'm Back scene where he runs & jumps into the air screaming ""I'm Back !!!!!!!!! & then he falls down into the ally & says ""My Back"" & the train scene was amazing!!!!!! Plus I pretty sure that Spider-Man 3 peter & Mary Jane are going to get married now that she know. I can't wait for Spider-Man 3 !!!!!!!!!! I give Spider-Man 2 10/10 This by far is going to be the best Summer movie of the Year !!!!!!!!",10 "This is by far the worst of the live action disney movies. A literal beat for beat recreation of the orignal movie that adds nothing and actaully removes a huge amount. My wife and I were tempted to leave around the half way point due to how bland this film was. Annimation: 4 / 10 To start with the cgi annimation in this looks great when still but when the characters are moving it looks really off like key frames of annimation are missing leading to a really jumpy experiance thats also moves just a little too fast. The expresions on the characters is usually very bland and doesn't really convay any emmotion. Voice Acting: 2 / 10 it really sounds like almost every single voice actor phoned it in to be honest. James earl johnes sounds like he is board for each line. scar is an extreamly generic villin voice with no charm. The only voice actor who actually sounded like they really wanted to try was zazu's voice acter but even then it comes across as really generic. Music: 3 / 10 most of the music sounds like it has been ripped stright from the orignal which is ok (if a little lazy) but they then reduced one of the major (and best IMO) songs to be a 20 second snipit of the song. The timing of the music is also very poor with one example being ""can you feel the love tonight"" being played during the day and is sandwitched between 2 arguments so it makes no sense to be played there. Jokes: 3/10 Most of the jokes are the same as the orignal but with the punch line being altered. the problem here is the new punch lines are 9 times out of 10 not funny. The only 2 characters who were able to get a laugh consistently were tomon and pumba The biggest problem that this film has is that it just misses the point of the orignal film completely with a lot of the sences they cut being far more important or entertaining than what was added which essentually was just extra annimation of non characters running around.",3 "Now I've watched this show when it first came out on tv. And I've re watched probably every year since! It's one of those shows you wish you can forget about and watch it again for the first time. This is not just a kids show but an all age show. If your a kid the action captivates you and if your an adult the little slick comments and the actions captivates you. The special effects the story line the characters and their development is insane. The writers and creators did everything right with this show and I will always watch and watch again.",10 "I really wanted to like this show. I love sci-fi movies and this seemed like it had potential. However, I am only 5 episodes in and I don't think I can stand another episode. While watching the show I was constantly asking myself questions like, ""why is this even happening?"" And ""if these people are so smart, how can they be so dumb?"" The script is atrocious, the transitions so bad they are funny-when they shouldn't be, and the characters are absolutely terrible. The mom is super annoying and rude, the dad is the only one who has any sense but no one listens to him, and apparently the whole family hates him because he was doing his job. No one can seem to be able to communicate even the simplest thoughts and concerns. It seems like the entire budget went to effects, props, and wardrobe, while none went to writing script. Tl;dr- it looks good, I wish it was good, buts its a terrible show.",3 "To like a movie/series I need a cahracter I can pesonalize with. But in Black mirror main characters usually do stupid decisions and basic mistakes from psychological point of view. I like the showed technology, but the stories bore me Therefore I don't see a difference between fast forwarding used technology and watching whole episodes.",6 "Well this show was so bad that i had to activate my IMDb account just to post review for this show.After watching the first 3 episodes ,i wanted to quit.The show is about a girl who commits suicide and leaves 13 tapes blaming the persons responsible and the reason behind her suicide..The screenplay iis boring and at no point of time you feel for the protagonist. Disappointing stuff by Netflix.",6 "Film: Secret Superstar Writer & Director: Advait Chandan Producer: Aamir Khan Rating: 3/3 Advait Chandan's witty, melodramatic, musical drama ""Secret Superstar"" focuses on a teenage girl who wishes to become a singing sensation, in spite of having numerous hurdles in her life. Zaira who plays Insia, a wannabe singer is always being pushed back because of her father's conservative mindset. The film shows how she purposely tries to reach success. Debutante Advait Chandan has written a beautiful, lovely and meaningful screenplay which amuses me for about two and a half hours. Story actually seems to be usual, but after the second climax it doesn't. It completely makes you feel like Insia. The way the girl feels depressed because of her arrogant father makes you narky. Advait's direction is also praise-worthy. He has handled the film with utmost care. Aamir Khan who plays the role of Shakti Kumar, a funny and substandard music director is nice. He will always be there to tickle your funny bone. Comprehensively, I've actually got no words to say for this pleasurable musical drama. Just go and watch this film, I guarantee you that you would come out of the theater with a smile. Thank you.",10 "As the title says, I had high expectations for this film. The actors didn't disappoint, but unfortunately the story seemed unimaginative and rash. The story could have told so much depth, especially with this cast.",5 "Most of the characters are quite good on how they are written and build-up so you get to care. My issue is with the main antagonist. I don't get the logic in how strong she is and able to 1vs1 soldiers that do that all their life. Yet this random person is so good apparently. Also not to mention the logic behind the movement, catchy ""One world, one people"", but seems like a 5y old wrote the main plot for them. If season 2 moves to a different antagonist, this can be good again.",2 CUNEYT ARKIN DUNYAYI KURTARAN ADAM DA BILE BU KADAR SIKILMADIM. FILM TAMAMEN UYDURUK. COK UZATILMIS.,2 "Harry Potter is in some trouble, his headmaster has been killed, by Snape of all people and the dark lord's powers seem to be rising. Harry must find and destroy as many Horcruxes as he can find, in his journey he learns about the Deathly Hallows. This entry is probably the best in the series since Prisoner of Azkaban. David Yates, who has helmed two previous installments in the franchise (arguably some of the weaker films) has finally seemed to find his footing with the first part of the last installment. Deathly Hallows is exciting, heartfelt and continues the story at a brisk pace, setting the viewer up for wanting more and ending the film on a good note. The thing that helps the film most is how much crap has hit the fan. The story has finally moved past the years at Hogwarts routine and has set in motion the final battle that people have been eagerly anticipating. The biggest gripe about the films from the 4th book on, would be that they leave out too much. It's understandable, since the books get bigger and bigger. Splitting the finale into two parts was a good idea, both from a business standpoint and a filmmaking standpoint. It gives the audience more time with Harry and the filmmakers more time to tell the complete story. I read the first book, it was good. It was gift, but I never actively went out to get the others, so my views on the films are from a film standpoint alone. Deathly Hallows managed to suck me into the world more so than others. No longer are we waiting for our heroes to learn magic spells, they are taking on the bad guys head on. I guess it's true for most series, the darkest is usually the best. Deathly Hallows is probably the darkest Harry Potter film yet because not everyone makes it out alive. That would be a gripe I have though, a lot of the death scenes are only mentioned or give a brief second on screen. We are with characters we've known from films as far back as the beginning, so I would have liked a little bit more reflection on certain death scenes. Harry has lost his mentor. He must grow up and make decisions for himself, become more of a leader. The amount of time, care and love put into crafting these films are clearly evident. One only has to look at the recent rushed attempts of the Twilight series to see that the studio and filmmakers are more keen on cashing in on the craze then adapting a story to screen. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone came out ten years ago. This is a franchise that, despite the books not being completed yet, wants to tell an epic story. It took the books ten years to tell the story, so it takes the films ten as well. Deathly Hallows is a great beginning to the end.",8 24 is by far the best action drama n everything else series I've ever seen ! From JACK BAUER the twists the the acting! WOW It's the number one series for every time and anyone. The writers are genius and the directors completely amazing.,10 "You know movies without any plot or story to tell you? Well, now you know! No story, no plot, stupid heroes, everything is meaningless in this movie. And such team... Waste of time. Sad.",2 "Where to begin.. I am usually not a big fan of sci-fi, fantasy or the period of time where this show takes place, but Jesus Crist was I pleasantly surprised! I was literally hooked after 10 minutes of this show and watched it all in one sitting. I wont go in to any plot details since I don't wanna risk spoiling even the smallest thing. But what I will do is say that I think this show is close to perfect in just about every way. It's a great and intriguing story, the tempo is perfect, the scenery is fantastic and the characters and acting is easily up there with the best I have ever seen in a movie or series combined. All the characters contribute to the story and I care about every single one of them. The writing is great as well.. It feels like every line and conversation moves the story forward in a well planned way which in my opinion is rare. There is definitely something for everyone in this show.. The mixture of sci-fi, horror, comedy and drama is really quite unique and I would think that it speaks just as well to a 15 year old girl as it did to me a 30 year old man. To sum this up I must give huge props to Netflix. You guys are simply awesome and you really struck gold with this show. I truly hope that season 2 will be just as impressive as the first one.. I will be patiently waiting and watching every other Netflix original in search for the next masterpiece in the meantime.",9 If you want to spend your time watching some people make keys out of wood then this movie if for you nothing exciting happens at all not worth the watch to be honest,4 Just say thank god that this series has come to and end. A series that got worse with every season.,1 "This movie was definitely made for everybody. It had hilarious scenes and a few sad ones. And I was always told when a movie makes you laugh and cry, it's a great movie. The plot and message was unexpected, in a good way though. I could also tell that it touched people. In the theatre, I heard "" oh my god,"", sniffles, and gasps. The cast and acting was off the top and the detail was, too. Although, you may here some comments saying, "" Oh this movie is sexist against men,"". You really have to see the movie to understand it. The people that are saying those things, obviously have not seen the movie. It's just so good, I would be able to watch this everyday. It is definitely worth the money to see it.",10 Nice action with nice pace of story. Not perfect and not disappoint also. One time watch.,7 "Michael Bay... Michael Bay... I have been a Bay supporter from the start. Not that I think he's one of greats but when he does something well he does it very well. These things usually outweigh the bad, which is usually the really immature humor. I feel like lately, starting with Transformers 4 Bay has been trying really hard to be Michael Bay. Instead of growing and maturing he is giving the people what he thinks they want. This movies constantly going back only a couple minutes in time over and over was either made by someone who thinks they're cutting edge or someone with ADD that doesn't take their medication, or both.",1 "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is absolutely spellbinding; a full-blown fantasy epic with the magic, heart, and characters we have come to love over the last decade's worth of Harry Potter films. However it is a different world. For our heroes Harry, Ron, and Hermione are no longer bound to the safe haven Hogwarts once provided, but are on the run, trying to find the Horcruxes to defeat Voldemort. Dan, Rupert, and Emma have never been better, and Rupert especially manages to project genuine anguish and emotion into the audience, something we have not seen from him before. Emma Watson has always been in my opinion the strongest of the three, and its no different here. You can't teach the way she delivers lines and between her and Toby Jones as Dobby, the two of them steal the show. That's not to say that Daniel Radcliffe was not a standout as Harry. He carries the film quite well as our reluctant hero, and manages to convincingly pull off some very tense moments in the film. Ralph Fiennes as always is terrifying as the Dark Lord, even with his limited screen time, and Helena Bonham Carter is Bellatrix Lestrange (notably in the final few scenes which get quite crazy). This franchise really has casted better than any I've seen in quite some time. The special effects as always are breathtaking, with many enthralling action sequences throughout, with some noteworthy cinematography from Eduardo Serra. The nature and scenery shots are absolutely beautiful and the darker, greenish tints play quite nicely with the film's mature tone. On that note this truly is the darkest film by far. Violence and gore is seen throughout, as well as some more adult themes, and the little ones should be cautioned. That being said, if your family has grown up with Harry Potter, then it should be no problem. Unsurprisingly, this film adapts the book incredibly well, probably the best since Chamber of Secrets, due to its splitting of the final book. Some have criticized the film as being slow in the middle because of the camping scenes. I have to disagree with these critiques however, for it moved quite nicely, and every scene had information relevant to the plot. Fans of the books will be incredibly excited by the attention to detail portrayed in this ""Potter"", and the subplots included. David Yates has finally directed the film that will please both the die-hard fans and the casual moviegoer. All of the films have been masterfully done, but I am aware as a fan of the books, that some fans have been slightly disappointed by the adaptations of the last two films. That being said I was extremely satisfied by this film as both an adaptation and prelude. I do feel like this film will be especially fun to watch back to back once Part 2 comes out, which I can not wait for. If you have not seen the previous movies, or read the books, do not bother with this movie. You will not enjoy it more than likely, and be confused beyond reasonable doubt. Overall this film is absolutely mind-blowing, and now my favorite of the films that were previously Goblet of Fire and Prisoner of Azkaban. And yet, it is only half the journey. For the epic finale awaits in July, and as we draw nearer to the close of our beloved boy wizard, one can only wonder if the magic will ever really end?.....",10 "Overall, this was a decently enjoyable and entertaining movie. However, I do feel like there were some major issues where he kind of shot itself in the foot... the main of which being the length and the overall originality/predictability. There are slim to no instances where I have ever experienced a production and thought... Yeah, that needed to be two hours long, let alone over two hours. It's just completely unnecessary, especially when you don't have the material and intrigue to fill it up. If it had been shorter and more concise, I think it would've improved the pacing, largely increased the thrill, and maybe not given the audience quite so much time to realize how kind of unoriginal and predictable it really was. I saw almost every twist as it came, and I almost never say that about a movie. In fact, while watching I try to just be present and not presumptuous so knowing what was coming is not something I try to do. Also the acting all around was quite good. The dad did a good job but it was grating almost to the point of unenjoyable. Almost 2 1/2 hours of listening to him rage became a bit taxing and one note. Regardless of these, to me, detrimental issues... As stated, this was still enjoyable and entertaining. I would just keep some of these variables in mind when sitting down to watch it. Would recommend.",6 "When a young boy disappears, his mother, a police chief and his friends must confront terrifying supernatural forces in order to get him back. Think about it like this it's a mix between E.T and the x_files in a really good way, the kids are just so talented ,its hard to talk more about the story but you will enjoy,the series is a winner of Golden Globes 2017 & 2018 for best drama series, i Would just say season 1&2 incredible season 3 a lot of why ?! .",9 "This was a masterfully directed and shot film. Not really much of a backstory to anything, including the characters, which brings it down a notch a little bit for me to a seven. That was probably the intention, in fact I'm assuming it definitely was, but it did take away some appeal for me. However, the cinematography and direction is absolutely amazing. No question that Sam Mendes should have received the best director Golden Globe. Great film, best watched in the theater in my opinion, definitely worth your money.",7 "Mister Spielberg please stop doing SciFi movies. This one is not worst than the war of the worlds, but is not far! Just compare your fantastic work for Duel and this last. There is no comparison possible, in the first the spectator could feel many different emotions, without much dialog, no explanation, special effects or special flash back. In this last no emotion, a lot of explanation, special effects The casting in my opinion does not work, the music shows that you are not connected with that world. In this movie the animation is fake, but worst in the real world, a part of a few exception there is no play, no emotions, no tension, love appears by miracle in a few sec. Sorry",4 "Too much childish type of movie especially the ending. You can watch 1 time. Knives out was way better than this kids movie. Lazy script and humourless jokes. You can easily predict who killed from the start itself. Whatever your guess is it will be absolutely right. Dont waste your time watching if you want to enjoy your day or night. I wasted my 2 hours, I should have watched first part again still I will enjoy it. Direction was mediocre, dialogues were not so good. Movie Set is really great, acting was not so great. Movie length should be 1.5hrs it will be been better. They dragged a bit and ruined the story.",1 I didn't understood much of those stories and felt bored.,3 "I don't know where to start with this movie. My expectations were blown away. In fact, I wasn't sure what to expect. But let me tell you that the experience was worth more than my disgustingly overpriced admission. With the popcorn and drink on top of it. Perhaps i'll start with the least important element of the movie. Firstly, Kung Fu Hustle has officially replaced all other overblown martial arts films by a long shot. The fighting in this movie is spectacular. Half the fights are so loaded with creativity it makes fighting movies look like something you've seen for the first time. The CG is great. The other half are part parodies of other films, and they are hilarious as well as spectacular. In fact, I need to see this a second time because there are a ton of movie references in it I don't think I've caught yet. Depending on your library of watched films, you'll catch more of them. I got quite a few and they were well done. And here's the most important part about this movie. This is where Kung Fu Hustle succeeds where so many other martial arts movies fail. It has a believable, simple, touching, intertwined and well flowing story. I can't tell you how many times where I've walked out of a martial arts - or even action - movie, and been immensely disappointed because the fighting and explosions were great, but the rest of it simply fell short. These movies are typically way unbalanced. But Stephen Chow is talented enough to take both elements of the movie to their rightful place. I don't know how he did it, but it worked. The acting is incredibly enjoyable. The plot is likable. The fighting will make your jaw drop. And all the fighting actually has something to do with the story. It's absolutely amazing. If you're tired of action movies not making the mark, go see this one. Now. 10/10.",10 "I went in there with O expectations, but boy, it was cunning and audacious to say the least! It is one the most original movie made in terms of writing, filming, cinematography, in recent times to be made with a fake subject but very relevant plot! Barbie speaks to alot of women and MEN about feminism, patriarchy, consumerism and existentialism in its own weird, sometimes cringe but mostly funny way. Full Marks for Casting. Top to toe perfect casting for Barbie and Ken. But movié is boring in the beginning and too preachy otherwise. Totally skippable in the theatres. Its not worth the hype tbh.",6 "The follow up to ""knives out"" from 2019, also written and directed by rian johnson. Miles bron assembles his friends at his island paradise home for a murder mystery vacation. Famed detective benoit blanc also gets invited, by ""someone"". There's tension between them all. And the bodies start piling up! So many unknowns. A running gag where a protective screen slams shut every time there's any noise, to protect a priceless piece of art. And the clock that keeps scaring the crap out of everyone. About halfway through, we start getting answers, in many, many flashbacks. The first half is the build up, while the second half is the unfolding of the story. And the facts coming to light. Blanc is again played by daniel craig, with a whole new cast. Craig must have worked on that southern accent... it's not as preposterous as it was in the first knives out film. The adorable kate hudson acts and sounds more like her mom every day. This one is entertaining. And will probably be the last film to talk about facsimile machines. Lots of talk of disruptors. But he still uses a fax machine. This is one of the few films where seeing it a second time is actually more interesting. Because now you know things.",7 "Netflix why are you doing this man? You're really, really, really bad in the face selection, and that lowers the quality of the show!",2 Very gripping performance get ready to be thrilled with every scene,10 Storyline is all over the place and is just utter drivel. Avoid. At. All Cost there really isn't much left to add other than it is just pure rubbish got a great cast but the film is just so bad. I don't really know what else to write as I need so many characters for it to go through but yeah really disappointing and just really confusing you know? Like how does this pass as any sort of film? I don't get it. What's there to get? Who knows because everything is all back to front and upside down and just not enjoyable at all other than Margot Robbie and her wolf of wallstreet accent that is all. Peace.,1 "It shows that a Bangladesh's every peole even Army, Police,Rab and literally everybody are members of drug cartel. You dumb stupid.",1 "The first part was funn!! But was not the best and wasn't perfect But this 2nd part is something I needed. This movie has everything that a perfect movie has. It can easily be called a masterpiece, and Carnage vs Venom is a thing that we thoroughly wanted and was a dream for many of us, and we got that as much as we needed it. Totally satisfied....",10 "I read the book years ago and loved. In fact I still have my original copy - signed by Neil Gaiman. I enjoyed the series as well, with a couple of minor reservations. Michael Sheen and David Tennant are brilliant. They embody Aziraphale and Crowley perfectly, and have excellent chemistry together. Unfortunately when the action drifts away from, things tend to drag. The supporting cast is a bit uneven. There are a couple of standouts. Jon Hamm is great. But most are merely adequate, and a couple are downright lousy. And why would a series shot in the UK make us suffer through Michael McKeans middling Scottish accent when there are any number of real Scottish actors around? The story stays remarkably faithful to the novel- almost to a fault. At times you can definitely tell the story was written 30 years ago. Everyone has a landline phone, and a remarkable amount of plot points involve printed newspapers and magazines. It feels slightly dated. And finally, a small pet peeve. Gaiman's narration is written in such a distinctly British voice, it just sounds odd being read in American accent. Even when that accent belongs to someone as incredibly talented as Frances McDormand.",8 Through Playstation 4 I already knew Gerlad the Witcher. I am a big fan of the Game and always hoped that it will be filmed. I am very much looking forward to the second season.,7 "First time I went to a movie theater after coronavirus pandemic came out I always liked the imagery of Venom, besides he is like an anti-hero. But it could be less comedian. The first is way better.",5 "I really like the movie, the technique is great, the actors, the quality, and almost everything, but the story is too short.",6 "Created in 2011 by Charlie Brooker, it's a series who includes a different types like horror, sci-fi, thriller and drama. It's an English series. This one talks about the impact of the new technology in our life. Each episodes are independent. There is no order between them. For example, the episode ""nosedive"" the most realistic in the series, show a fictive world where everybody gives a rating using their phones. I like this episode because it seems crazy to live in this world, to depend of the rating for the work, activities, earn apartment ... If you have a bad rating, you can't do this things. Bryce Dallas Howard who's playing the main characters gives a fantastic performance. Concerning the realization of this part, the director wants to show us a perfect world with a catchy music and pastels colors. However, ""Hang the DJ"" is less interesting than the others, because it seems too long and too confuse. The plot talks about only a date between two persons. The ending of this part doesn't come across convincing. In conclusion, I really recommend this series because there is a twist on every episodes. That's what makes this series unique. It will change the way you see the new technology. It's a must on Netflix, don't miss it!!!!",9 "I apologize ahead of time if there is bad spelling or grammar. This being my first review for IMDb, I wanted it to be a positive one and I was waiting for The Amazing Spider-man to do it. I must admit I had high expectations for this movie. Setting myself for High expectation is not a great thing to do, because it could never live up to my expectations. I knew I would be let down a little. I had no idea that my expectation would be crushed. First thing I should start off with. If you are expecting a Spider-man story, don't. Expect a Peter Parker love story with some great action. I have read spider-man stories for years and I loved the connection that Gwen Stacey and Spider-man had together. What I do not like is twihard, romance novel like eye candy up on the screen. When sitting in the movie, I had to deal with the girls talking about how hot they thought Peter Parker was. My immediate thought was ""Peter is me, a nerd, sense when has any girl found me attractive?"" I realized that he was the epitome of what tweens found attractive. He may be playing a nerd but he certainly does not look like one. Then I experienced something that I hope no spider-man fan should ever go through. when Peter took of his clothes, My EARS FELT LIKE THEY WHERE GOING TO SPLIT OPEN! Because the girls in the theater screamed so loud for peter having no shirt on. I should have sold my ticket on ebay. There was redeeming factors for this movie, like I said before there is some great action and an amazing cast to pull it off. The relationship between Peter, Dr.Connors and the friction between Captain Stacy was great. The origin story of Peter seemed more plausible then Sam's Spider-man (More realistic?) But what made this crushingly unwatchable, for me, was the way the romance was written, then seeing it play out. This coming from a guy who love some well written romance movies (like The Notebook). What I am trying to say is. Headline for this movie should be. Spider-man, a love story. Maybe I am over reacting. I did see it with a bunch of screaming girls. If you are going to see this movie. Whether you think it will be good or not, see it a good two weeks after the release to avoid the large Twilight crowd.",4 "... and after thinking about it half a second just left instead of going back to finish watching the movie. Maybe that had more to do with my mood, I'm not sure, but I just, try as I might, could not get engaged in this film. I haven't felt so meh about a QT film since watching Jackie Brown. This was a beautiful film for sure visually, good solid acting, but the narrative was just way too weak for my taste.",6 "After ratsasan. This is best thriller movie. Characterization is very good. From the start the flim is engaged with top speed. First half itself feels like value for money. Writer managed to extend the same speed in second half too. All scenes are connected wnd cery well executed. We can't say any scenes thats irrelevant to the story. No songs, No romance fully focused on the story. Many comedy moments worked out very well. There are many violent scens but it is necessary for the script. As a audiance we will engang from the beginning of the movie. Writer has done very good field study for the investigation scenes. Screenplay is good. Music is ok. Performance are delivered to the required level. Overall must watch thriller movie...",10 "I was looking forward to this due to the high ratings and that I like the lead actors. However felt it was a poor story, fairly predictable, slightly cringeworthy acting, I kept hoping it would improve but was disappointed",4 "When FORREST GUMP came out in the 90s, i really liked it, but nowadays..... I don't hate it, but I don't like it either. It's a bit like America itself. The technology (the special effects) are good, but overal it's overhyped, shallow and full of cliches. The story goes on and on, not much is happening.",5 "Sometimes, you gotta admire how Spielberg can do films as innovative as Ready Player One, as poignant as Schindler's List, and as quaint as The Fabelmans. Utilizing excessive exposure throughout the movie, the photography evokes a polished sense of nostalgia with the assistance of costume design, environmental layout, and bygone equipment, thereupon establishing a convincing while charming world of the 1950s. In a moderate yet meticulous narrative, the story portrays how a boy's enthusiasm for movie-making develops and interacts with multiple aspects of his life, following a simple chronological order. Observing the child's growing memories with his parents, siblings, playmates, mentors, schoolmates, and first love, it's impossible to not find personal resonance in the heartwarming diegesis. However, upon entering the California segment of the film, there is a point when aesthetic fatigue kicks in, and events not so much connected to the previous storyline start getting displayed just for the director's interest, creating a fissure in the overall plot. Worthy of compliments, the performance is superb, as every single figure is substantially characterized. Mitzi by Michelle Williams, an optimistic, artistic, affectionate, and ideal mother; adventurer is her essence but she's willing to submit herself entirely to family, which to some extent justifies the borderline infidelity. Burt by Paul Dano, a precise, knowledgeable, forbearing, while respectable father; the financial and emotional patron of their family, as well as a rare leader whose decisions are almost always realistically right. Even the smallest of supporting characters earn their independent highlight moments: wise uncle Boris, observant Reggie, genial uncle Bennie, insecure Logan, devoted Monica, and laconic Mr. Ford (played by who-would've-though David Lynch). All are memorable and symbolic characters for both Sammy's life and the movie itself. Altogether, an unusually well-made autobiography, a novel perspective of one of the greatest directors, and an experience worthy of both your laughter and tears.",8 "I love the special effects of this movie and the storyline but this movie really lacks and feels quite bland. I understand the meaning and it's importance, but this movie is more about style than it's actual story. It is very unmemorable, and neigher romantic or dramatic enough.",6 "The movie is as pretentious as the food that is served, it's also similarly unfilling/unfulfilling. It's also derivative, this kind of thing has been done before, more than once. It's no a horror movie, it's not funny. It might be a thriller, but just barely. The production values are good, decor and stuff. This might be it's only merit. The two main protagonists are good actors, but the format is so formal that it's a waste of their talent. After a while the end is completely predictable, so there goes the thriller. In the end all that is left is the form, not the content. Much like the food.",3 "For starters, guys who glorify this series shall use the money they've received for it to buy some taste, knowledge and experience. This show is really nothing special. Some Super 8, some Star Wars, some Stephen King, some Goonies ... Nothing original and creative. Lacks humor. Winona Ryder is overacting. Kids are OK but aren't they in any show? David Harbour is OK - seems to me he was the only one to find measure in dosing his efforts. Credits shall also got to Billie Bobby Brown. The show is too slow and basically nothing really happens until the last episode, when again nothing significant happens. Everything seems like: ""Guys, write something in a way that it ends or not in the first season, depending on advertisers and money income."" Everything in this show is black & white. Good guys are good, bad are bad (as in Government), naive and stupid are naive and stupid and so on. Too many clichés. Childish at best. Not worth watching and certainly not worth another season. Forget this ever happened and I'll try to forgive the Duffer brothers. Do we have a deal?",3 "This is star wars holiday special all over again. No. I ain't watching this train wreck. Edit after 2 years So yeah, sorry about being an idiot. It turned out to be not as bad as I thought. Some bits were actually cool and I admit I have enjoyed the show from episode 3 or 4 onwards.",7 "Nothing lasts forever, a sentiment that extends to the now overstuffed and far to frequent superhero films of the modern day and where adventures like Spider-Man or the team up of The Avengers once felt like a true event, superhero films whether they be of Marvel or DC variety in today's climate feel increasingly uninspired and forgettable, which makes the enjoyment levels found in Captain America's third outing Civil War that much more surprising. While it neither reinvents or rejigs the comic book staple that has become so stale over recent years and while it sometimes takes itself far too seriously for its own good, Winter Solider helmers Anthony and Joe Russo successfully balance a large roster of beloved characters and a couple of new ones in the form of a fresh faced Spider-Man and Black Panther to make Civil War's slightly overlong run time an enjoyable and likable event. Delving into the idea of an inwardly warring Avengers group with larger than life personalities like Tony Stark clashing with the well-meaning and old school like Steve Rodgers, Civil War presents us with a collection of superheroes and super soldiers that aren't all lovey-dovey, rather at the point of blows within a world that no longer wants to give these creations free reign around the globe, themes that were prevalent in the recent Batman v Superman but explored far more enjoyably here in this more fun focused ride. With its fair share of dialogue heavy situations and scenarios, the Russo's infuse Civil War with a collection of highly entertaining action set pieces filled with great moments (many that involve a teenage Spider-Man and Paul Rudd's endearing interpretation of Ant Man) and humorous quips by its now seasoned cast members that make its weaknesses like a largely forgettable baddie in the form of Daniel Bruhl's Zemo and terrible payoff of bad guy motivation and plans far more tolerable and new cast members Tom Holland as Peter Parker and 42s Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther seem like positive additions to an ever expanding roster of players. Hard to hate and easy to enjoy, Civil War doesn't exactly make one feel as though the superhero blockbuster is 100% assured heading into the distant and not too distant future but it certainly enough to makes a now cynic like me feel far more willingly to be a part of the crowd pleasers for the next little while as long as they are as well played and constructed as this energetic adventure. 3 1/2 Vision cooked dinners out of 5",7 "Just got thru half of the fifth episode and omg this is the end for me...how does anyone think this is good?! The script is all over the shop and the casting is just ludicrous and it's just plain boring. GOT this is not, but I guess even the original author saw this coming and just gave up...I frankly don't blame him, his story was fantastic, this is utter nonsense, shameful, sad. I guess they had to try to milk it for all it was worth but this is literal ""shark jumping""...to be honest I'd rather watch Fonzie waterski over a shark than this sorry adaptation of woke baloney. One star for the cgi dragons.",1 "I adored the original animation but, with all the simpathy I have for Favreau, this was above his capabilities. The movie, besides a scene heavily modified and one taken out, lacks the solemnity, the humor and the charm the other version had. Disney should have been more careful in handing over one of its signature works to someone who made very enjoyable superhero movies, which I liked, for the record. If only they thought it over better like they did for Beauty and the Beast or Cinderella...",3 The story of the movie is just fine but music wise the movie is top notch. The actors did their job fairly. But the ending of the movie is just so predictable. The emotions and details were fine but to be honest I don't understand why this movie is so talked about. I just watched it due to good imdb rating but i kind of have mixed feelings for it. Overall this is quite similar to a bollywood movie.,5 "Firstly I'd like to say as debut film It is quite impressive . It is a very well produced and mostly well acted. It's the teenagers themselves that made it less enjoyable and unpalatable . Boy they were awful ! All of them. They made them maybe a little too real !? The story itself was ok although it did t hold my interest well maybe because of the annoying teens. I think it a very good first time effort my these two young men but ultimately it was somewhat predictable and overly graphic in parts. To the people who have crowned it the best horror movie for 2023 ......well I have to disagree with that. I'd like to compare it to the really excellent ""It Follows "" also a debut horror film from a young writer. Now that is a horror movie of the year!",5 "This was the creepiest film I have ever seen. Absolutely disgusting. I genuinely want to challenge the director to a duel, this movie was so absolutely filthy. I left feeling dirty spiritually and drained emotionally. Horribly boring. Predictable. It was incredibly degenerate with some deeply disturbing parts. It honestly appears to have been written by the deep state as propaganda against Russia and Putin. That is the only reason I can understand for them including such disturbing sexual degeneracy in it: in order to leave the viewer with a deep seated psychological disgust towards the Russians. I literally have been thinking about how much this movie sucked for the last day. That is how much I think it sucked.",1 "Very well acted and filmed. The score was good. My issue was the whole concept. I just can't find anything about this war and all these tungue in cheek jokes funny. It made me squirm. There was so much death and horror in world war 2, I don't feel it's okay to make jokes about it.",5
